History Trivia / GundamBuildFighters

* XMeetsY: ''AngelicLayer'' meets ''{{Franchise/Gundam}}''.

* HeyItsThatVoice: the cast includes:
** Creator/MikakoKomatsu voiced Sei Iori. Which means [[Anime/{{Heroman}} Joey]] is now into building Gunpla.
** Sachi Kokuryu as Reiji. [[Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL Tron]] is now a Gunpla Fighter.
** Creator/YuuichiNakamura as Fellini. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Graham]] now has his own Gundam... and he's hitting on the girls, too.
** Creator/MasashiHirose as Mr. Ral.([[RoleReprisal reprising]] his role as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Ramba Ral]]...sorta)
** Creator/KotonoMitsuishi as Rinko Iori. [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Misato Katsuragi]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Murrue]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Ramius]]... so that makes her third time playing a busty [=MILF=]... I sense a pattern here.
*** And in Episode 17, she gets to play Murrue again (during an ImagineSpot).
** Takuya Satou as Tatsuya Yuuki. [[Anime/CardfightVanguard Toshiki Kai]] and [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Caesar Zeppeli]] now build Gunpla.
** Creator/RyoHirohashi as Susumu Sazaki ([[Manga/{{Working}} Aoi Yamada]])
** [[Creator/YuiIshikawa China Kousaka]] is [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Mikasa]]. Too bad she is not fighting in Episode 12.
** Creator/AoiYuuki as Kirara. [[Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator Akira Renbokouji]] is now an idol.
** Creator/ShinnosukeTachibana as Nils Nielsen. [[Manga/BlackButler Prince Soma]] is now a young American genius who acts very much like a Samurai.
** Creator/SaoriHayami as Aila Jyrkiainen. [[Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows Haqua]] has now become emotionless[[note]][[NotSoStoic at first]][[/note]] and has traded her [[SinisterScythe Scythe of Testament]] for the Qubeley Papillon. [[spoiler:She's still a {{Tsundere}} though...]]
** Creator/ChiwaSaito as Caroline Yajima. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Louise Halevy]] has now gotten over her hatred of Gundams (somewhat) just to get an opportunity to trounce her rival.
** Creator/YujiUeda as the Renato twins. Seems like [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Crowe Burst]] teamed up with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Billy Katagiri]] for the tournament.
** TakuyaEguchi as Luang Dallara. In other words, he's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Asemu Asuno]], [[MemeticMutation SUPER PILOT]].
** Creator/NobutoshiCanna as Raimer Cziommer. [[{{Anime/Macross 7}} Nekki Basara]] is now after [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Alto Saotome]] since the latter stole his VocalTagTeam partner Maylene.
** Tokuyoshi Kawashima ([[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Klaus Grado]]) as Takeshi Iori.
** Creator/RyokoShiraishi as Misaki. [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Kaede]] is now working at a hot springs inn, and is apparently the target of [[{{Keet}} Mao's]] affection.
** Minoru Inaba as Master Chinnan. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Doctor J]] is now the current master of the Gunpla Shingyo School... [[spoiler:And apparently a fan of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Murrue Ramius]], too]]. Alternately, [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia]] became a Buddhist monk.
** And before anyone forgets, [[Creator/TetsuInada Tatsuzo the Burning]] (The Loan Shark from episode 7) is [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Elz-]]'''''[[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pYsz3ytMQ3Y TROMBE OVERRIDE!]]'''''... and [[Anime/TurnAGundam Har-]]'''''[[{{Kiai}} UNIVAAAAAAAAASE!!!!!!]]'''''

* ContestWinnerCameo: Three of them, in Episode 23: the red-and-yellow [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Deathscythe]] was the winner of a custom color contest, the white and black machine[[note]]For the record : [[Anime/CharsCounterattack Geara Doga]] head, [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam God Gundam]] arms and body, [[Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray Red Frame Kai]] legs and katanas, and a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Sword Striker]] backpack[[/note]] piloted by [[spoiler:''GBP'''s version of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080 Al Izuhura]]]] won a ''Gundam Breaker'' design contest, and the heavily customized [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Zssa]] that blasts Reiner's Zakrello was the winner of a Gunpla contest (the runners-up appeared in Episode 17 on Master Chinan's shelves).

** Creator/RyoHirohashi as Susumu Sazaki ([[{{Working}} Aoi Yamada]])

** Creator/MasashiHirose as Mr. Ral.([[RoleReprisal reprising]] his role as [[MobileSuitGundam Ramba Ral]]...sorta)

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Due to various legal agreements with Japanese TV networks, Mobile Suits that have aired on MBS and TBS in the last 5 years cannot be shown in Build Fighters. This means that, while suits from season 1 of ''MobileSuitGundam00'' are present and represented, suits from season 2 are a no-show.
** Although given its OVA release nature, ''MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' is apparently fair game, considering a Loto did show up in the series, as did the Unicorn and Kshatriya (albeit as static models).
** Ditto for ''Film/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer'', since it's a feature film. Evident in episode 19 where one of Nils's opponents is actually the ScaryBlackMan from ''[[ShowWithinAShow Celestial Being: The Movie]]''.

** Minoru Inaba as Master Chinnan. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Doctor J]] is now the current master of the Gunpla Shingyo School... [[spoiler:And apparently a fan of [[MobileSuitGundamSEED Murrue Ramius]], too]]. Alternately, [[MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia]] became a Buddhist monk.

** Creator/NobutoshiCanna as Raimer Cziommer. [[Main/MacrossSeven Nekki Basara]] is now after [[MacrossFrontier Alto Saotome]] since the latter stole his VocalTagTeam partner Maylene.

** Takuya Satou as Tatsuya Yuuki. [[Anime/CardfightVanguard Toshiki Kai]] and [[JojosBizarreAdventure Caesar Zeppeli]] now build Gunpla.

** "Build [[GaoGaiGar Hell and Heaven]]" for [[spoiler:Star Build Strike's Double Build Knuckle, which was used against Exia Dark Matter.]]

** MasashiHirose as Mr. Ral.([[RoleReprisal reprising]] his role as [[MobileSuitGundam Ramba Ral]]...sorta)

** Alia is named for another CreepyChild from the {{Literature/Dune}} series.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Due to various legal agreements with Japanese TV networks, Mobile Suits that have aired on MBS and TBS in the last 5 years cannot be shown in Build Fighters. This means that, while suits from season 1 of ''MobileSuitGundam00'' are present and represented, suits from season 2 are a no-show; same goes with ''MobileSuitGundamAGE''. AGE's case might be related to the co-creator, ''{{Creator/Level5}}''

** And before anyone forgets, [[Creator/TetsuInada Tatsuzo the Burning]] (The Loan Shark from episode 7) is [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Elz-]]'''''[[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pYsz3ytMQ3Y TROMBE OVERRIDE!]]'''''... and [[TurnAGundam Har-]]'''''[[{{Kiai}} UNIVAAAAAAAAASE!!!!!!]]'''''

** Kirara's idol outfit is white and has pink hair which is tied in GirlishPigtails, not unlike [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]], which is also voiced by Creator/AoiYuuki. (It is unknown what is Kirara's natural hair color, but Madoka is naturally pink haired for sure.)

** TakuyaSatou as Tatsuya Yuuki. [[Anime/CardfightVanguard Toshiki Kai]] and [[JojosBizarreAdventure Caesar Zeppeli]] now build Gunpla.

** TokuyoshiKawashima ([[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Klaus Grado]]) as Takeshi Iori.

** Creator/MinoruInaba as Master Chinnan. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Doctor J]] is now the current master of the Gunpla Shingyo School... [[spoiler:And apparently a fan of [[MobileSuitGundamSEED Murrue Ramius]], too]]. Alternately, [[MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia]] became a Buddhist monk.

*** Actually, Amazing Exia is a double case of this : [[http://imgur.com/jiXIpFq careful examination]] reveals it's not actually an Exia, but an ''Exia Repair II''. The staff did mention on Twitter doing something that pissed off the brass...
* XMeetsY: ''AngelicLayer'' meets ''{{Franchise/Gundam}}''.

** Dark Matter Exia is often jokingly called "Edgia" due to all of the sharp edges incorporated into its design.

** Ditto also for ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': This series marks the reunion of the seiyuus of two of the Gundam Doctors (Doctor J and Master O), as Master Chinnan and Mr. Ral, respectively.

** Main/ShinnosukeTachibana as Nils Nielsen. [[Manga/BlackButler Prince Soma]] is now a young American genius who acts very much like a Samurai.

** Kirara's idol outfit is white and has [[RoseHairedGirl pink hair]] which is tied in GirlishPigtails, not unlike [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]], which is also voiced by Creator/AoiYuuki. (It is unknown what is Kirara's natural hair color, but Madoka is naturally pink haired for sure.)

*** As Mihoshi, she ties her hair in a [[RapunzelHair very long ponytail]] with [[ShortHairwithTail two short sidelocks]], wears a thick clothing and is also a pilot (though she joins in Gunpla Battles as Kirara, however), not unlike Akira Renbokoji, who is also voiced by her seiyuu in another Sunrise anime, ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator''.

** Creator/YujiUeda as the Renato twins. Seems like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Billy Katagiri]] want to pilot his own creations too.
