** On a meta level, it's almost as if the lights coming on are the Fenice's way of saying "You got it my friend. We're together to the end of the line!"



** Outside the tear-jerking meta context, the show pulls off a few moments for itself too, like China helping Alia build Miss Sazabi, Yuuki getting to be himself for a while, showing [[TookALevelInBadass just how far]] Sei has managed to improve thanks to Reiji, and finally reuniting the Iori family, with a little help from Mr. Ral and ''Char Aznable'', of all people.

** At the very end, Sei says he left a memory at the Gunpla Club Room, though it focuses on the trophy, it's easily hinted that it was actually the Build Burning Gundam, setting the stage for ''Try''.

*** Having some knowledge of Gunpla makes this especially heartwarming, as having a Wing Gundam as a child would mean that the base model for the Fenice is not the modern HG Wing Gundam, but the inferior 1/144 GW series Wing Gundam released March 1995. But Fellini loved the kit so much that he took it to the World Tournament anyway.

** When they're storming A Baoa Que, a giant beam cannon fires. China and Aila sacrifice their Gunplas to push Sei's and Reiji's out of the line of fire. And then the boys stick around to protect them, refusing to leave them… until Yuuki in the Amazing Exia Repair and Takeshi in the Perfect Gundam show up to protect the girls, allowing the boys to destroy the crystal.

** This also overlaps with awesome: The reason for the BigDamnHeroes by the old guys? Because they were worried about their kids. When Rinko told Takeshi Sei and Reiji were missing, and Takeshi realised that they were still inside the stadium, the smart thing would have been to leave that to the pros. But fuck that noise, his son is in danger, he won't stay back.

** The immediate first thing Takeshi does is to start evacuating the viewers, aided by Rinko, Chinnan, Ral, and other Gunpla fighters.
** This also overlaps with awesome: The reason for the BigDamnHeroes by the old guys? Because they were worried about their kids. When Rinko told Takeshi Sei and Reiji were missing, and Takeshi realised that they were still inside the stadium, the smart thing would have been to leave that to the pros. But fuck that noise, his son is in danger, he won't stay back.
*** Also, Ral and Chinan didn't ''need'' to follow Takeshi in, but they did so anyway. Call it the bond of the battlefield, call it concern for the kids, call it basic human decency. Doesn't matter why they followed him in, just that they ''did''.
