History Characters / GundamBuildFightersTry

* ModestyShorts: Fumina can always be seen with a pair of bike shorts on, even while wearing her school uniform. Though considering how [[SensualSpandex tight]] they are... hmmm. [[spoiler:And of course, the Super Fumina has these as well (because of course somebody would try to replicate Fumi-chan's looks if they were that desparately in love with her)]]

* ShipTease: With Sekai, natch. Her ClingyJealousGirl imply she probably has a crush on him.

* ModestyShorts: Fumina can always be seen with a pair of bike shorts on, even while wearing her school uniform. [[spoiler:So does the Super Fumina.]]

* MsFanservice: Official art and the show itself seem to like putting her in skin-tight outfits.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: She says this in Episode 10 when her mom asks about Sekai.
* ShesGotLegs: Made even more beautiful by her usual choice of skin-tight hot-pants.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: With her casual attire consisting of skin-tight hot-pants and a sports bra, Fumitan is BareYourMidriff and ShesGotLegs galore. Even on the occasion she wear her sweat shirt she wears it unzipped.

* ZettaiRyouiki: wears white stockings and a white mini-skirt, leaving a thin strip of skin visible on her thighs.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade-A on her current getup as the primary host for the National Tournament.

* BornLucky: His male classmates sure think so, for being able to have lunch with [[{{Adorkable}} Fumina]] (who is an upperclassman, no less) and having Mirai as a sister. And, you know, picking Build Burning out of a lot of possible Gunpla in the clubroom.

* {{Adorkable}}: A cute girl whose rampant enthusiasm for all things Gundam only makes her more charming. Just watch her sing [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Anime Ja Nai]] with Sekai in episode 11 if you need convincing.

* {{Adorkable}}: Watch his post-round interview with [[HeadTurningBeauty Mirai]] in episode 16; he's definitely struggling to keep a straight face...

* TokenEvilTeammate: Not so much evil, but Saga is a massive {{Jerkass}} and definately fills this spot on Team Celestial Sphere. To the point that [[The Ace Meijin Kawaguchi]] specically tells their coach to rein him in.

[[invoked]]* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler: He built a 1/144 [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Rafflesia Mobile Armor]] for the Meijin Cup and it's an incredibly impressive build that must have taken some time to make. Especially given that there isn't a 1/144 Rafflesia kit, making it a complete scratch build. However, it's disqualified from the contest because it exceeded the size limit, something that surely would've been included in the rules. He still thought it would win.]]

* GirlishPigtails: Worn up with Main/HairDecorations that look like the Gyan's missile shields.

* TokenEvilTeammate: To Team Celestial Sphere.

* BerserkButton: He ''hates'' unsportsmanlike behavior. [[spoiler:This is why he intervenes in the battle between Try Fighters and Saga, who was showboating and being deliberately cruel. Allan had to shut the entire arena down to keep Tatsuya from wrecking Adou's Gunpla.]]

* TheAce: he's the Gunpla academy's ace. Episode 13 reveals that he was trained by non other than Julian Mackenzie,[[note]]for more information see the character sheets for build fighters[[/note]] a former candidate for the Meijin Kawaguchi name.

* AceCustom: His Crossbone Gundam Full Cloth is so well-made that even Wilfrid acknowledges it as the single strongest Gunpla in the tournament in terms of raw specs, having top-grade speed, firepower, and durability. It was custom built by Lucas, giving it a fully functional Core Fighter to use should the Crossbone itself be somewhat immobilized even thoug the feature was left out in the High Grade edition. It's also a WalkingArmory with a wide array of weapons options, including upgraded versions of the Crossbone's Peacock Smasher and Mega Machine Cannons.

* CombatPragmatist: Uses the environment to his advantage, which is necessary because [[spoiler:his gunpla's burns through particles at an incredible rate and he needs time to recharge.]]. Exemplified when he uses [[spoiler:the hole that Wilfried made to hide his Core Fighter in to ambush Shia.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler: He built a 1/144 [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91 Rafflesia Mobile Armor]] for the Meijin Cup and it's an incredibly impressive build that must have taken some time to make. Especially given that there isn't a 1/144 Rafflesia kit, making it a complete scratch build. However, it's disqualified from the contest because it exceeded the size limit, something that surely would've been included in the rules. He still thought it would win.]]

* TheLancer: Serves this role compared to Sekai's TheHero and Fumina's TheLeader, being much more level-headed.

* {{Expy}}: Shares a lot of traits with Domon Kasshu, the HotBlooded WarriorTherapist martial artist who served as ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'''s protagonist. Makes sense, considering [[spoiler: his master IS Domon]].

* ManInWhite: Often seen wearing a white suit with a pale blue dress shirt.

* TheRival: To Yuuma.

* {{Adorkable}}: Watch his post-round interview with [[HelloNurse Mirai]] in episode 16; he's definitely struggling to keep a straight face...

* ChekhovsSkill: Like the Re-GZ that its based off of, the Lightning Gundam doesn't have a transforming fighter mobile armor mode. Rather, it has a customized version of the Re-GZ's Back Weapon System flight unit that attaches itself to the Lightning Gundam to turn it into a high speed fighter. [[spoiler:In their battle against the G-Masters, he takes control of the Back Weapon System to return to the fight after he sacrifices the Lightning Gundam to cripple Shunsuke's Mega-Shiki.]]
* ChickMagnet: Yuuma is fairly popular with the girls of their school. His looks were complemented many times in Episode 3

* CombatPragmatist: In his first appearance, he opens up with a surprise attack, and then keeps shooting instead of trashtalking.

A third year student at Seiho Academy, and president of the Plamodel club. He wants Fumina to leave the Gunpla Battle club and join his club instead. Goes by the nickname "Mantis Man".

** Then there's the Bearguy Pretty from ''Island Wars'' [[spoiler: which cripples a man sized Psyco Gundam Mk.II allowing team Try Fighters to finish it off]].

* HelloNurse: Her entrance to any given scene is generally accompanied by the gentle thuds of the male cast's jaws as they hit the floor.

* BigBeautifulWoman: She ([[YourSizeMayVary usually]]) has a heavier build than most other girls in the series(definitely not HollywoodPudgy), but has no issues with her weight, and certainly considered attractive by both the show and the fanbase.

** Averted, when in the battle against Gunpla Academy, he was in charge of choosing his team members and strategy. Though the strategy revolves around him at the center and those team members mainly acted as fuel stations, he by no means negates their importance. [[spoiler:All leading up to defending them to the coach that the loss was due to [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments his inexperience, not theirs]].]]

[[folder:Fumina Hoshino]]
[[quoteright:202:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fumina_9623.png]]

->'''Voiced by''': [[Creator/YuiMakino Yui Makino]] (Japanese), Elizabeth Loennborn (English)
->'''Main Gunpla''': RGM-237C Powered GM Cardigan, SD-237 Winning Gundam, SD-237S Star Winning Gundam

A third-year at Seiho Academy and president of the school's Gunpla club. Fumina dreams of winning the All-Japan Gunpla Battle Championships. This leads to her recruiting Sekai and Yuuma into Team "Try Fighters", so she can compete in the tournament's 3-vs-3 battles.

Though she is not aware of it, Lady Kawaguchi considers her to potentially be her successor, and pits her against Shia Kijima, her other candidate.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her Star Winning has a number of physical and energy based particle manipulation sabers that can cut beam attacks in half.
* AceCustom: The standard [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Powered GM]] was a GM customized to be a testbed unit for various next-gen mobile suit parts. Fumina then takes that basic testbed unit, and turns it into the Powered GM Cardigan: a WalkingArmory with enough thrust to turn and burn.
* {{Adorkable}}: A cute girl whose rampant enthusiasm for all things Gundam only makes her more charming. Just watch her sing [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Anime Ja Nai]] with Sekai in episode 11 if you need convincing.
* AttackDrone: Star Winning adds a number of different types of funnels.
** Guard Bits which can act either as beam shields of as remote [[LaserBlade beam blades]]. Can also combine to form her "Starcross" beam shuriken.
** Gun Bits, a pair of remote beam cannons.
* AudienceSurrogate: The other half of this trope. While Sekai is the one who asks things the audience would say, Fumina represents the fans of the first season, or Gundam in general, who could only dream of playing Gunpla Battle.
* BadassAdorable:
** Winning Gundam, which is SuperDeformed, but also deadly in a fight.
** The trope also fits Fumina herself, especially since she's noted in-universe to be a cutie.
* BareYourMidriff: In her casual clothes.
* {{BFS}}: The Star Winning Gundam has the Mega Blade. Normally a solid blade mounted under its rifle, it can extend itself into a [[LaserBlade beam sword]] that's big enough to cut through mobile armors.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Yuuma. Totally glossed over by the series, barring the promise both of them made while kids to go to the national championships together.
* ClingyJealousGirl: After Sekai mistakenly introduces himself as her boyfriend in episode 10, she seems to get annoyed whenever other girls, like Shia and Gyanko, flirt with Sekai.
* CombiningMecha: One of Winning Gundam's gimmicks is that it combines with other mobile suits.
** PowerFist: The Winning Gundam's torso transforms into the Winning Knuckle, a giant robotic fist and latches onto the Build Burning Gundams' hands.
** {{BFG}}: Another part of it combines with the Lightning Gundam's rifle to become the Winning Launcher.
* CripplingOverspecialization: After a 1-on-1 battle against Lady Kawaguchi, it becomes clear that, with Hoshino having put so much focus into supporting Sekai and Yuuma, the Winning Gundam does rather poorly on its own. This ultimately leads to her building the Star Winning Gundam, with which she addressed this weakness and created a Gunpla that is more than capable of fighting on its own, while still able to support her teammates like she originally intended.
* CryCute: Tears up with joy when Team Try Fighters passes the first round.
* {{Determinator}}: In Episode 2, despite being caught by [[spoiler:Miyaga's Agrissa]], she refused to give up even as her Gunpla began to crack from the strain.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her shorts have a large black band on her left leg, but not on her right.
* FauxActionGirl: Fumina actually starts as this - while she's a capable Battler, she puts too much focus on support and thus is pretty much useless. Her match with Lady Kawaguchi helps her get out of this trope.
* TheGlomp: Gives both Yuuma and Sekai giant hug after years of trying, she finally gets past the first round of the prelims.
* HeroWorship: She worships a female gunpla fighter that utterly wiped the floor with her opponents in a world championship.
* HotBlooded: Not exactly apparent outside of Gunpla battles, but by the time she get her Star Winning Gundam to use its [[WaveMotionGun Winning Beam]], she just cranks up the screaming.
-->''Full... POOOOOOWWEEERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!''
* IJustWantToBeBadass: The reason why she started battling was because she wanted to be a winner, even amongst the boys.
* JackOfAllStats: Because her SD Winning Gundam was built for a support role and was the most balanced of the Team Try Fighters' gunpla, it was neither going to [[SuperRobotGenre defy the laws of physics as well as the Build Burning Gundam]] nor [[RealRobotGenre abide to the laws of physics as well as the Lightning Gundam]].
* TheKirk: She tries to balance Yuuma and Sekai's continuous fighting.
* TheLeader: She's the leader of team Try Fighters and has the most experience with Gunpla battles in the team.
* LeaveTheTwoLoveBirdsAlone: PlayedForLaughs in episode 8, [[spoiler:when she, along with Yuuma and Mr. Ral, left Sekai to "comfort" Gyanko. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since Fumina once faced the team Gyanko would eventually face in the semifinals, and she rather cares a bit for Gyanko as well... ]]
* LogicalWeakness: While Winning Gundam's small size makes it very difficult to hit, if an opponent manages to grab onto it, there's very little that it can do.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: Her Star Winning uses a beam rifle with a fold out sword. Even before that, her Winning Gundam's rifle can project a beam saber from its barrel, similar to how [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]. Additionally, it could combine with the Winning's V-fin to form a crossbow.
* ModestyShorts: Fumina can always be seen with a pair of bike shorts on, even while wearing her school uniform. [[spoiler:So does the Super Fumina.]]
* MsFanservice: Official art and the show itself seem to like putting her in skin-tight outfits.

** Switches from her customized GM to the built from scratch Winning Gundam in episode 5.
** Further upgrades Winning Gundam into Star Winning in episode 14.
* NiceGirl: She is normally friendly.
* PassionateSportsGirl: She ''loves'' Gunpla Battle.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: She says this in Episode 10 when her mom asks about Sekai.
* ShesGotLegs: Made even more beautiful by her usual choice of skin-tight hot-pants.
* SpannerInTheWorks: She ends up derailing Team SRSC's plans by introducing the Winning Gundam instead of using Powered GM Cardigan.
* SuperDeformed: Fumina's Winning Gundam is a half sized Gunpla with a giant head and tiny body.
* SuperMode: Her Star Winning Gundam's real sized Real Mode.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Two of Star Winning's {{Attack Drone}}s functions not only as legs for the Real Mode, but also as {{BFG}}s, as properly demonstrated when she used it to eliminate one of Team Titan's fighters in episode 19.
* TeamMom: She's the one who keeps the team working together. This is also reflected in her Winning Gundam, as Minato notes, which was made to ''ensure'' that Sekai and Yuuma worked together.
* ToBeAMaster: Ends up forming Team Try Fighters to be a Gunpla Battle champion.
* TomboyishPonytail: Fumina wears her hair in a ponytail, reflecting her athletic interests.
* TheRival:
** She and Gyanko are quickly revealed to not like each other all that much, arguing over who's the better Gunpla Battler and who Sekai should be spending his time with.
** Come the National Tournament, Lady Kawaguchi sees her as one [[spoiler:to Shia Kijima]], of which Fumina gladly accepts.
* TransformingMecha: Her Star Winning Gundam can switch between a SuperDeformed and a standard-sized mode.
* WalkingArmory:
** The Powered GM Cardigan has an impressive tally of mounted weapons. So far it's been shown to have a beam rifle, balloon launchers, missile launchers, gatling gun, two beam sabers and two beam cannons.
** Winning Gundam has missile launchers, vulcans, a beam rifle, a beam crossbow, and can use the [[{{BFG}} Winning Launcher]]. That said, it's also deconstructed somewhat: carrying many weapons means that Fumina hasn't mastered any of her weapons.
* WaveMotionGun: Her Star Winning Gundam's "Winning Beam".

[[folder:Sekai Kamiki]]
[[quoteright:184:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sekai_7512.png]]

->'''Voiced by''': Kazumi Togashi (Japanese,) Shiona Carson (English)
->'''Main Gunpla''': BG-011B Build Burning Gundam, Musha Godmaru, TBG-011B Try Burning Gundam, KMK-B01 Kamiki Burning Gundam

A second-year who transferred to Seiho Academy, and student of the Jigen Haoh school of martial arts. Sekai dreams of being a master martial artist, and joins Fumina's team after realizing Gunpla Battle will allow him to sharpen his skills.

* AudienceSurrogate: He'd never even heard of Gunpla Battle before meeting Fumina. As such, he has limited knowledge of the world of Gunpla, making him ideal to spew {{Exposition}} at.
* BareFistedMonk: Having trained in hand-to-hand martial arts, he uses a Gunpla that focuses on fighting with no weapons other than its fists.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: He uses a Dom to block the Enact's blade. Interestingly, though, he doesn't use two flat hands to catch it, but a flat hand and a fist.
* BequeathedPower: His Build Burning Gundam was made by Sei Iori, protagonist of the previous ''Build Fighters'' series, who retired for a year to spend time with his girlfriend in Europe.
* BigEater: He at least doesn't think he'll have trouble eating two bento in Episode 3.
* BornLucky: His male classmates sure think so, for being able to have lunch with [[{{Adorkable}} Fumina]] (who is an upperclassman, no less) and having Mirai as a sister. And, you know, picking Build Burning out of a lot of possible Gunpla in the clubroom.
* CallingYourAttacks: Sekai shouts all his attacks as he performs them.
--> '''Sekai:''' Jigen Haoh school! Seiken-Zuki!
* TheChosenOne: When Mr. Ral sees Sekai in action and how he's amazing despite being an absolute beginner, he proclaims that he's "the Second Coming of Reiji."
* CluelessChickMagnet: Has beautiful girls throwing themselves at him without even trying... but he has no idea what a date is.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Far more HotBlooded than Sei and Reiji ''combined.''
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:Using Build Burning's SuperMode actually makes Sekai feel the damage the Gunpla takes, in a phenomenon called "assimilation".]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: When Build Burning Gundam uses its SuperMode, a halo of flames forms around it.
* {{Expy}}: Shares a lot of traits with Domon Kasshu, the HotBlooded WarriorTherapist martial artist who served as ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'''s protagonist. Makes sense, considering [[spoiler: his master IS Domon]].
* TheHero: The pilot of the show is essentially about him.
* HeroesFightBarehanded: See BareFistedMonk.
* HeroesPreferSwords: He uses a FlamingSword in the FinalBattle. His Kamiki Burning Gundam has a physical sword.
* HotBlooded: Sekai's method of Gunpla battling. He uses nothing but flame covered punches and kicks in a match. Build Burning is even described as " A hotblooded Gunpla emitting flames from its body!" in official materials.
* IAmYourOpponent: Saving Fumina's Powered GM Cardigan from Daiki's Enact, he tells Daiki this.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He states that he learned martial arts to be strong. Time will tell if there's any other reason for this. Expanded to wanting to be more immersed in the world of Gunpla, regretting that he had not found out about it much sooner.
* IdiotHero:
** Forgot the address to the school he was supposed to be enrolling in, forcing him to wander the streets asking people if they'd seen his sister.
** Has a meltdown in episode 2 when he realizes he's forgotten his lunch.
** His sister Mirai even describes him as "crude, careless, simple-minded, hot-headed, gluttonous and disorganized".
* InstantExpert: He's able to make top-level repairs to his Gunpla after simply being shown how by Shia. Though to be fair, Shia's an incredibly talented engineer from the Gunpla Academy, so it might not be such a shock that he learned so fast...
* InvincibleHero: Just like Reiji before him, after suffering a few crushing losses before the tournament, he and his team start winning non-stop. It doesn't come without some serious pain, however.
* LeeroyJenkins: He rushes out ahead in the episode 3 practice match, blocking Yuuma's view and getting caught in a sneak attack by Team Song Dynasty Vase right after.
* LogicalWeakness: He doesn't have any prior experience with Gunpla Battles and is just using Build Burning to replicate his fighting style.
** In Episode 4-5, this means that when faced with a completely different environment than on the ground (like the sea or space), he more or less just hopelessly flails about. Sekai eventually corrects this through additional training.
** Episode 12 shows something more - Sekai's so focused on his martial arts, he has no defense against exotic techniques like Adou's combining {{Attack Drone}}s or giant Devil Gundam hands that can ''eat'' anything they get their jaws on.
* TheMcCoy: He is the more emotional member of the group.

** In episode 5, he develops new martial arts techniques specifically for Build Burning Gundam, like being able to infinitely DoubleJump through space.
** In episode 13, he creats a particle manipulation attack that can ''destroy the moon'' in a single hit.
** In episode 14, his Build Burning is upgraded to Try Burning by Yuuma to withstand the strain of this new technique.
** In episode 20, he starts using ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' techniques like Bushin Sapou God Shadow and Erupting God Finger.
* NewTransferStudent: In the sense that he should have been at the school ''a month prior'', but decided to go training with his master instead. Played straight when he finally does show up for class -- and gets seated next to Yuuma, no less.
* NiceGuy: A normally friendly guy. He's just a little bit excitable.
* ObliviousToLove:
** He doesn't get what Gyanko making a bento box for him means.
** Has no idea what a "date", or what being a "boyfriend" is.
---> '''Sekai:''' "Boyfriend" means "male friend", right?
** [[RuleOfThree Has no idea why Gyanko and Fumina are monstrously peeved that he went with Shia to create the Kamiki Burning Gundam]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: By episode 13, Sekai and Build Burning are capable of blowing up the ''moon'' with a single attack.
* TheRival: After his battle with Kijima, He flat out declares it. A sentiment Kijima returns.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: His reaction upon realizing that Gunpla Battle is actually a bunch of models rather than actual physical martial arts. He quickly grew to like it though.
* ShedArmorGainSpeed: In a roundabout way: Try Burning sheds large portions of its armor when entering SuperMode, to stop all the particles it generates to boost its power and speed from getting trapped inside the Gunpla and exploding.
* {{Shoryuken}}: Soten Guren-Ken
* SpiritedCompetitor: In his class introduction in Episode 2, he actively welcomed any challenges. Further putting him square into this tropes is his desire to fight against the best the world has to offer. Now that he's in the National Tournament, he'll likely get his wish and then some.
* {{Squee}}: His reaction upon witnessing the Tryon 3's debut in the Nationals. In complete contrast to [[JawDrop the entire audience.]]
* SuperMode: Build Burning Gundam can temporarily channel all the Plavsky particles around it to boost its speed and offensive power, combining the super modes of [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Star Build Strike]] and [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam God/Burning Gundam]] into a single suit.
* SuperPrototype: Build Burning Gundam was built by [[spoiler:Sei]] for the 11th World Championship; Yuuma states it's been upgraded since then.
* SuperRobot: Because Sekai's Build Burning Gundam was based after [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kashuu's God/Burning Gundam]], that it was bound to have Super Robot qualities, from its emphasis on close-quarters martial-arts, to its ability to [[RuleOfCool defy the laws of physics]], thus making it [[AceCustom Team Try Fighers' ace unit]].
* ToBeAMaster: Joins Team Try Fighters to help him become a master martial artist. Then wants to learn more about Gunpla.
* TookALevelInBadass: Learning from [[spoiler:Shia]] about building and repairing Gunpla allowed him to go from being effortlessly [[CurbStompBattle curb stomped]] by Adou to matching blows with Wilfred, Adou's equal.
* VitriolicBestBuds: If it doesn't come off as HoYay, his relationship with Yuuma is most certainly shaping up to be this.

* BornLucky: His male classmates sure think so, for being able to have lunch with [[{{Adorkable}} Fumina]] (who is an upperclassman, no less) and having [[{{Bishoujo}} Mirai]] as a sister. And, you know, picking Build Burning out of a lot of possible Gunpla in the clubroom.

* {{Bishoujo}}: An attractive high school girl who's followed everywhere by [[BishieSparkle sparkles]] and LoveBubbles? Yeah, she definitely fits.
