History Awesome / GundamBuildFighters

* Some fans rejoiced when Yuuki's Zaku Amazing defeats the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Justice Gundam.]] It's a heavily modified version of Chars most famous mech defeating a CharClone mech from a divisive series.

* Any [[CurbStompBattle battles]] involving [[CharClone Meijin Kawaguchi.]]

** Becomes even more awesome as by the end of the series [[spoiler: Fellini is the ''only person'' to fight the Star Build Strike to a standstill; at the end even the Meijin would lose to it without the EMBODY system. Had his next fight not been the EMBODY-empowered Aila, he might have very well been the other finalist.]]

* The Gunpla Battle's commercial ads, which depicts, among other things, a Freedom Gundam getting sliced into halves by a Dijeh.

** Shortly afterward, the old man who had helped Reiji and Aila build their Gunpla confronts C in the restroom where the latter was hiding before revealing himself to be Takeshi Iori, Sei's father and [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking an International Gunpla Battle Official Referee.]] He then effortlessly takes down C and arrests him.

** Nils faces off against [[PunnyName Greco Logan]], an American Gunpla Fighter who had made it to the previous world tournament, and his [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Tallgeese Valkyrie]] with his [[Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray Sengoku Astray]]. After effortlessly dodging the Greco's shots, he uses a [[SwordBeam sword beam]] to deflect a fully charged shot the Tallgeese Valkyrie's [[WaveMotionGun mega beam cannon]]. He then easily trumps Greco in a melee fight (starting by [[UpToEleven PIERCING A BEAM SABER BLADE]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter WITH A KATANA]]) by using the Plavsky Particles to to create a massive shockwave that creates a crater around him and trashes the Tallgeese Valkyrie.

*** On a partially {{Meta}} level, the fight ends in a draw, but was so fantastically executed and passionately fought that it ''doesn't'' feel like a [[DeusExMachina cheap cop-out]], the way it would have felt in a lesser series.

* Reiji and Aila's take down of C and his Hell Zeong Galaxy. One meta moment goes to C for not falling for the same trick that destroyed the original mobile in the original Gundam.

* Meta example: For those who participated in Gunpla Customization Contest, won, and have their models featured as Master Chinan's gunpla collection, congratulations! Yes, those weird gunplas you saw are [[http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2014/02/gundam-build-fighters-features-custom.html actually designed and built by real people]].
** Even more awesome: The top 3 prizes had not been shown... and those random Elite Mooks must pilot something befitting the finals, right?

* Reji's battle with Gonda, in which the Build Strike Gundam speared Sumo ''through the stomach'', and then the sudden battle with President Yuuki (who is known [[spoiler: as the Crimson Comet]], whose Zaku Amazing [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] the Build Strike Gundam within ''seconds''.

** Followed up by Reiji fighting more than 200 battles with him. It was implied that it wasn't a one sided battle but Reiji is actually fighting on equal terms to [[spoiler: an Italian Champion]]. And Reiji isn't even using the Build Strike by then.

* [[spoiler: When Kirara sabotages Sei's Build Strike Gundam, Sei reveals to Reji that the BSG has a secret ace in the hole in slot 12.]] TheReveal was pure awesomeness, [[spoiler: as the Build Booster Fighter (which is the BSG's backpack), which takes to the sky, transforms and proceeded to deliver a CurbStompBattle on Kirara's custom made AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra (from Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory).]]

* [[spoiler: When Gundam X Maou uses the Hyper Satellite Cannon on the Build Strike Gundam, it's Pure Awesomeness.]]
** [[spoiler: After Gundam X Maou fires its Hyper Satellite Cannon, we get TheReveal that Build Strike Gundam survived, and Reji is the pilot!]]

** Some more elaboration on the battle. Reiji and Yuuki throw everything at each other with the climax of the battle being a slug fest at close range. Then after that when it looks like both mobile suit destroyed each other [[spoiler:the Build Booster Fighter shows up. That's right, it wasn't a one episode gimmick. The Zaku Amazing also has a fighter mode (known as Amazing Booster Fighter) which it used as well after it's destroyed]]. All in all, Reiji vs Yukki is what happens when you don't have lives, politics, or the world on the line.

** When the Apsalus III has the Gundam X Maoh and the Build Gundam Mark II trapped, Mao uses his ability to manipulate Plavsky Particles to free their Gunpla before activating the Hyper Satellite Cannon. Keep in mind that he does the latter [[spoiler: without using the microwave laser.]]

* This episode gives a preview of the kind of opponents that Sei and Reiji will be facing in the World Tournament with the on-screen debut of [[ChildProdigy Nils]] [[LightningBruiser Nielson]] and [[TheStoic Aila]] [[LittleMissBadass Jyrkiainen]], [[spoiler: both of whom completely [[CurbStompBattle demolish]] their opponents during the episode.]]
** [[spoiler: Nils faces off against [[PunnyName Greco Logan]], an American Gunpla Fighter who had made it to the previous world tournament, and his [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Tallgeese Valkyrie]] with his [[Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray Sengoku Astray]]. After effortlessly dodging the Greco's shots, he uses a [[SwordBeam sword beam]] to deflect a fully charged shot the Tallgeese Valkyrie's [[WaveMotionGun mega beam cannon]]. He then easily trumps Greco in a melee fight (starting by [[UpToEleven PIERCING A BEAM SABER BLADE]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter WITH A KATANA]]) by using the Plavsky Particles to to create a massive shockwave that creates a crater around him and trashes the Tallgeese Valkyrie.]]
** [[spoiler: Meanwhile, Aila defeats not one, but TWO Mobile Armors throughout the episode. The first is when she defeats Gawain, the top Gunpla Fighter for Team Nemesis, despite the fact that A): she does not have her own custom Gunpla with her (she's stuck with with a [[RedshirtArmy regular Jegan]]), and B): Gawain uses the friggin' ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam DEVIL GUNDAM]]'' during their fight. She beats him by easily dodging his attacks and stabbing it through the head with a beam saber.]]
*** [[spoiler: Her second fight occurs [[OffScreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]] against the former World Champion Carlos Kaiser and his [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Alpha Azieru]], this time using her Qubeley Papillon. Mr. Ral arrives a few minutes late to find that not only is the battle already over, Aila has completely annihilated Carlos' Gunpla.]]

* China [[spoiler:defeating Caroline in the Girls Only Tournament. Keep in mind, Caroline was coached and had her Gunpla built by Nils, one of the World Tournament finalists. Not to mention that the token girl winning a battle without one of the guys stepping in is pretty much unheard of in shonen anime!]]

* Sei shows his World Tournament Gunpla: [[spoiler:the Star Build Strike absolutely annihilates everything thrown in its way, NoSell beam-based weaponry, and moves so fast it can destroy multiple funnels in a few seconds. LightningBruiser doesn't even begin to describe this mech.]]

* A more subtle moment is [[spoiler:Ricardo Fellini winning his battle despite suffering from a massive hang-over. He's the Italian representative for a reason.]]

* Meijin Kawaguchi confronting the one behind the Mega Sized Zaku, [[spoiler: Chairman Mashita.]] He nearly twisted the man's hand, and the way he is insisting that no such moves should be pulled in the future, is extremely polite while extremely intimidating.

** And finally, in Sei and Reiji's fight against Luang Dallara, [[spoiler:Iori reveals Star Build Strike's third system, the RG System, which significantly increases Star Build Strike's strength to the point where it [[ItMakesSenseInContext throws a baseball]] so fast it literally pulverizes Luang's Abigorbine in a single shot.]] [[IAmNotLeftHanded And it was only working at 30% capacity.]]
*** For that matter, before that the Abigorbine [[spoiler:smacking the little tiny ball so hard it flies right out of the area and into the stands, hard enough to smack a soda can right out of Kirara's hands an into the seats behind her.]] Turns out, [[spoiler:Luang is a professional-grade baseball player.]]

** PPMS-18E Kämpfer Amazing versus GAT - X 105B /ST Star Build Strike Gundam in a volcano-themed battleground, and even though Star Build Strike is badly damaged by Kämpfer Amazing, the Gundam still managed to unleash its [[spoiler: RG system and performs a Shinning Finger-esque FinishingMove, which resulted in a clash of such epic proportions that the finale was a nuclear explosion.]]

* The duel between the Fenice and the Star Build Strike. All of it. Especially the moment Star Build Strike unleashes its [[spoiler: RG ability to keep up with Felini's piloting skills.]] Specific moments include:

** After losing one of their boosters, [[spoiler: Sei and Reiji hide in the canyon and use the Universe Booster as a decoy to lure the Wing Gundam Fenice into a trap, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack like Amuro did to Char,]] allowing them to destroy its wing binders and buster rifle. They do so by leaving the Universe Booster behind some rocks and firing its remaining cannon remotely.]]

** Inspired by Ricardo's fighting spirit, [[spoiler: Sei tells Reiji to activate the Star Build Strike's RG system at full power, despite knowing that doing so will most certainly be too much for the unit to handle. What follows next is a brutal slug-fest reminiscent of their fight against the Zaku Amazing, at one point devolving to the two suits throwing punches at each other with one arm each. Ricardo even wraps the Wing Gundam Fenice's beam cape around its remaining hand as a makeshift knuckle duster to answer the Star Build Strike's powered-up punches. When the smoke clears, the two suits are completely trashed and leaning against each other, causing the match to end in a draw. The crowd goes wild shortly afterward.]]
** They were both so determined to win [[spoiler: THEY WERE FIGHTING WITH THEIR HEADS KNOCKED OFF.]]

*** On a partially {{Meta}} level, [[spoiler:the fight ends in a draw, but was so fantastically executed and passionately fought that it ''doesn't'' feel like a [[DeusExMachina cheap cop-out]], the way it would have felt in a lesser series.]]

* Reiji and [[spoiler:Aila's]] take down of [[spoiler:C and his Hell Zeong Galaxy]]. One meta moment goes to [[spoiler:C]] for not falling for the same trick that destroyed the original mobile in the original Gundam.
** Shortly afterward, [[spoiler: the old man who had helped Reiji and Aila build their Gunpla confronts C in the restroom where the latter was hiding before revealing himself to be Takeshi Iori, Sei's father and [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking an International Gunpla Battle Official Referee.]] He then effortlessly takes down C and arrests him.]]

** The reason why the X Maoh does not need long recharges with its satellite cannon? [[spoiler:It actually uses solar panels on its wings, which functions like the [[KillSat Solar System]] weapon from [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam the original series]].]]
** [[spoiler: Then Mao decides to combine both the Solar System AND the original X's Satellite Cannon system to unleash [[{{BFS}} the Maoh Sword]] against Star Build Strike.]]
** [[spoiler: Star Build Strike gets one by unleashing its RG System and using its Build Knuckle against the Maoh Sword.]]

** Sengoku Astray then reveals its special ability: [[spoiler: Particle Fai Jin.]], which destroys Star Build Strike's fist, as well as the ''entire rooftop'' of the Japanese castle they are fighting atop of.

* The reveal of [[spoiler: the unfinished Exia Dark Matter in the beginning of the episode.]]

* The battle between Sei and Reji's Star Build Strike Gundam and Aila Jyrkiainen's Qubeley Papillon can be counted as one, [[spoiler: despite the lovers' spat near the end.]]

* Hell, [[spoiler:the lover's spat itself is this. Special credit goes to Aila delivering an epic example of TakeThisJobAndShoveIt to Team Nemesis as she goes on to fight against Sei and Reiji without the Embody System.]]

-->'''Tatsuya''': [[TurnsRed Turn bright red, Exia]]! [[spoiler:Trans-am!]]

* Sir John Ayers Mackenzie, the [[spoiler:original]] fighter representing the UK, is ''78 years-old'' and managed to make it all the way to the semi-finals of the World Tournament, presumably using the F91 Imagine.
** Even better, [[spoiler: he trolled his own grandson, inspiring him return to the sport that he loved, by exaggerating the severity of his own heart attack.]]

* [[spoiler: The Plavsky particles in the stadium overload, making a replica of A Boa Qu that BREAKS THROUGH THE ROOF.]]
** [[spoiler: The next episode preview shows EVERYONE fighting the mobile suits sortieing out of the fortress.]]
* Special credit to Caroline's butler Sebastian [[spoiler:for kicking down the entry to the Arista and rescuing her and Nils.]]

* It's shown that Sei's battling skill has grown so much that he actually manages [[spoiler:to fight the Meijin himself to a standstill! Hell, it's implied that if his battle with the Meijin weren't interrupted, ''Sei would have won the battle''.]]
* Nils and Caroline [[spoiler:figuring out how to replicate Plavsky crystals.]]

* Near the end of the match, [[spoiler: Char is seconds away from finishing off Ribbons. But then Alan decides to do a little “prank”. He switches Ribbons out with another quasi-personality, but not just ''any'' quasi-personality. It’s [[TheRival Amuro Ray]]!]]
* How does this fight between legends end? Well, Char and [[spoiler: Amuro head to the moon and race toward one another in a DuelToTheDeath. Each of them say how their fight is [[ItsPersonal personal]], blaming each other for Lalah's death. When they collide, they scream [[SayMyName each other's names]] before their suits explode. And ''then'' a green glow forms a ring around the Earth.]] How awesome is THAT!

** After the announcement proclaiming the series was complete, we get this bonus message: [[spoiler:NEXT BATTLE PROJECT 2018.02.02]]

* [[spoiler:''[[BigDamnHeroes Reiji]]'' returns to our world just in time helping Sei]] and defeats the Psycho GM almost without a sweat.
** And before that, the Mafia Boss revealed that he manipulated the particle output in the arena, severely limiting our heroes' movements. How to get around that? [[spoiler:By artificially producing particles from Reiji's arista]], that's how!
* After the big fight, [[spoiler:Sei and Reiji decides to spend some of the latter's last time on Earth in a Gunpla battle (piloting Build Cosmos and Star Burning respectively)]]. An epic and evenly-matched fight follows with everyone in awe, and though the result isn't shown, it already shows [[TookALevelInBadass how good Sei has become as a fighter]].

** Reiji accepting a five-on-one fight without hesitation in the first place is [[CrazyAwesome awesome in itself.]]

* The entire fight between Meijin Kawaguchi and the Renato Brothers can be summed up as the best tactical battle in Gundam history. The amount of trump cards that the Renato Brothers prepared is comparable to that of [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Negi's in the Negi vs Jack Rakan fight]].

** The third one? Doubles as CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming as its owner is [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Alfred Izuruha]]! With Christina Mackenzie and Bernard Wiseman with him!

** Mao and Fellini refusing to run away (even though they could as the Zaku was only targetting the Star Build Strike) shows that even though they are fellow rivals, they are still TrueCompanions. Also worthy of note is that their most powerful weapons were out of commission at the time (the Wing Gundam Fenice's Buster Rifle was out of charge and the Gundam X Mao's Hyper Satellite Cannon was destroyed by the Zaku). On top of that, when the Zaku throws a cracker grenade at the helpless Build Strike, both of them immediately [[TakingTheBullet leap in front with their shields out]]. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* Sir John Ayers Mackenzie, the [[spoiler:original]] fighter representing the UK, is [[BadassGrandpa 78 years-old and managed to make it all the way to the semi-finals of the World Tournament, presumably using the F91 Imagine.]]

* And how do they kick things off? A showdown between [[AcePilot Char]] [[TheRival Aznable]] of the original MobileSuitGundam against [[SmugSnake Ribbbons]] [[FanNickname FUCKING]] [[MagnificentBastard Almark]] of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]], that's how!

* Some fans rejoiced when Yuuki's Zaku Amazing defeats the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Justice Gundam.]] It's a heavily modified version of Chars most famous mech defeating a CharClone mech from a BaseBreaker series.

* Episode 5 (and the final one) of Battlogue has an amazing battle between Iori and the Meijin, using their new machines A-Zeta Gundam and the Build Strike Star Cosmos.

* Were you turned off by Episode 3's cutesy MagicalGirl stylings? Episode 4 is a humongous apology as the Renalto Brothers return and do battle with the Cherudum Gundam SAGA and a ''Perfect Grade Exia Gundam''. And though they don't speak, the anime makes it clear that they're being piloted by Lockon Stratos and Setsuna F. Seiei!

'''China:''' It's ''Mister'' Bearguy III![[note]]Given the punny nature of it's name, another valid translation could be: "That's ''Mister'' Bearguy to you!"[[/note]]
