Funny / Gundam Build Fighters

Gundams playing baseball. More likely than you think.

Episode 1

• We get to see Sei piloting his Build Strike Gundam in space, his dad then warning that his Gunpla isn't snapped properly. Cue the Build Strike Gundam's arm popping out and getting shot down by Zaku.
• The moment when "Mr. Ral" is introduced and seems to be pretty much an exact copy of his original series namesake…and promptly destroys that image by getting a Luminescent Blush when he sees Sei's mother.
• Reiji getting used to the Build Strike Gundam's controls in Episode 1 causes the Gunpla to do a funny dance, Sei gets pretty embarrassed.

Episode 2

• Sei's reaction and face to when Reiji is staying at his house, appearing at his school, beating up a student council member, and fades into light are just PRICELESS.
• Sei getting called on to answer a question in school while trying to design upgrades for the Build Strike.
  Sei: "Uh... the answer is 2/3!"
  Teacher: "This is a literature class!"
• Gonda being called a gorilla. Kondo Isao, you've got a partner now.
• "Mr. Ral", once again, appears out of nowhere just to give commentary about gunpla battles. And China's reaction. Her disturbed and frightened expression at first is what sells it.
  China: "Just who is this man?"
• Tatsuya's flamenco-laced Leitmotif during Zaku Amazing's Curb-Stomp Battle over Build Strike is hilariously awesome yet funny at the same time.
  OLE!
• The topper comes in the final scene of the episode, with the ridiculous face Sei makes when Reiji glows red and transports off into god-knows-where.
  • What? No mention of Reiji's face when he lost? Thing looked more fitting in a horror story.

Episode 3

• When Sei asks him about his origins, Reiji explains that he is the prince of Arian, a country on another planet, and found a jewel in the royal treasury that brought him to Earth. His tone and the crayon-drawing art style while he's talking give the impression of a young child telling a fairy tale. Sei, predictably, doesn't believe him for a moment.
  Sei: "So you're a prince from another world?"
  Reiji: "Yeah, you get it now?"
  Sei: "I get that you're insane..."
• The Zeon Bar. And the entire bar greeting with "Sieg Zeon!".
• RB-79 Ball was introduced as the "Spherical Coffin". Reiji used it to trounces an entire group of veteran Gunpla battlers. And, that's really all that needs to be said.

Episode 4

• Sei gushing over how awesome it is to meet a girl who's into Gundam, complete with sparkles... while Reiji looks on, slightly confused.
• Mr. Ral again screwing up the image of his inspiration by gushing over Kirara at the tournament.
• When Sei fights Kirara, in what may be a parody of a Warrior Therapist scene, he claims that despite her claims of disliking Gunpla, he can feel her enthusiasm through how well built her Gerbera Tetra is. Then she just admits she had her fans put it together for her in exchange for photos. Kirara pulls Alpha Bitch-ery the point you can't help but laugh at how perfectly she pulls an Ignored Aesop.
• After Kirara is defeated, Sei hopes that maybe they can still be friends and she can start appreciating Gunpla legitimately. Reiji looks over and sees Kirara whining with Ocular Gushers while her fanboys try to comfort her, then turns back to Sei and says "Yeah, fat chance" with a wonderfully snide expression on his face.

Episode 5

• Ricardo tries to hit on a woman, by offering her a Victory Gundam Gunpla, only for Reiji to crash the party. Even better, it was working until Reiji butted in. And then Ricardo admits that he built it to pick up chicks, and the woman quickly sours and leaves when nobody's looking, prompting a Big "Oh, Dios Mio!" from Ricardo.
  • Even better, Ricardo and Reiji are latter seen sparring. And what Gunpla is Reiji using? The Victory Gundam. So Reiji did indeed took and trashed the Gunpla Ricardo spent three days on to impress girls.
• Mao tries to do the same, except it's to pay the driver that gave him a lift to Tokyo, and China's father for the meal. The former worked, the latter, not so much.
  • And then it turns out the payment was in a way accepted. It's a bit funny in a way to see the Gunpla holding a miniature electric guitar. An electric guitar/beam rifle that is Extreme Gundam's canon signature armament. It's a long story.
• Mao's introduction to Sei and China.
  Mao: "My name is Mao Yasaka. I won the Japanese 5th Block of the Gunpla Battle Championship, and I want to become the best Gunpla builder in the world! Sei Iori, I've got hold of you at long last—"
  • Sei and China just walked off as if he is some kind of weirdo, only for Mao to repeat his introduction, but faster.
  • Then Sei's lampshading.
    Sei: "Do you think I attract weird people?"
    China: "Yeah, I think so..."
• Rinko's squee reaction when her husband, Takeshi is respected by Mao's master.
  Sei: I wonder what my dad did.
• Mr. Ral, once again channeling his namesake and delivering his iconic line:
  Mr. Ral: "This is no Best Mecha Collection, boy! No Best Mecha Collection!"
• The entire fight and the scene with the buildup of Gundam X Maoh versus the Build Strike imagination fight. It ranges from the dramatic plastic bag tumbleweed, to the epic kung-fu stance, to the drawing of the gunplas, to Mao's cosplay of Garrod, and then the reveal that Reiji is the pilot, with him wearing Kira Yamato's pilot suit.
  • In the middle of the fight, we cut back to reality, where Sei and Mao are frozen in place and staring at each others' Gunpla with jaws agape. Rinko worries that something's wrong with them (but China realizes they're imagining the fight).
  • And how does it end? With Mr. Ral breaking into their imaginations and telling them this match-up is too cool to be played out just in their minds.

Episode 6

• Sei spots his mom peeking into the compressor room where he is talking to China.
  • "Pretend I'm not here!" "HOW CAN WE DO THAT?!"
  • Can we just say "all of Rinko's Shipper on Deck moments"?
• Sei's squee reaction returns when he is explaining the history of the Gundam Mk-II.

Episode 7

• Being a Beach Episode, we have Reiji staring back and forth on Rinko and China's chest (Much to the chagrin of Sei and Mr. Ral), commenting to China that she needn't worry about her assets. The end result is predictable.
  Mr. Ral: "Straight into the minefield!"
  • What sells it is Sei and Mr. Ral's reactions.
• Mr. Ral sleeping in a sand coffin. Or rather, sand Gouf.
• Before that, the final round of the regional, when Reiji's opponent basically have to jawdrop within the timespan of 10 seconds.

Episode 8

• Reiji impatiently waiting for Sei to finish what will become the Star Build Strike, clinging to the window of the painting room like a gecko.

Epiosde 9

• Everything about "Caro-Chan".
  • After the big challenge to China, Caro-chan leaves the playground walking towards a horse. Did she actually arrive on... no, that's way too weird even for this show... is it?
    • The fact that that horse can be spotted during the shot that introduces Caroline implies that yes, yes she did.
  • At the beginning of the show, Caroline goes on monologue to herself and rant about how China repeatedly humiliated her and how she'll win this year. Everyone around her stop walking and have a "what the hell is wrong with that girl" kinda look on their faces.
  • She gets completely distracted by Bearguy III's cuteness during the middle of challenging China?
• China can't fake a smile to save her life. But the second she gets a call from Sei's mom...
• The training montage. Complete with Nibun no Ichi playing in the background.
• The shopkeeper from Episode 1 makes a comeback... and he's gob-smacked by Reiji standing next to him because he stole from his stall.
• The Nobel Gundam in Berserker mode getting shot down by the Bearguy-III in one shot.
• Also, Sazaki showing up at the all-girls tournament for no reason other than to stand in the background attempting to look cool.
• The result of Plavsky Particles reacting to cotton: an immobilizing substance.
• Everything about Nils in this episode.
  • Nils and Carol's "relationship" is almost a shout-out to Dexter's Laboratory.

Episode 10

• Reiji discovers love. All of it.
• Kirara reintroduces herself to Sei. But when Mao obliviously asks who she is, her leitmotif cuts right out, then starts up again when Sei explains, only to shut off again when Ricardo turns on the charm.
  • The fact that Felini turning on the charm is accompanied by a Newtype Flash sound effect is hilarious in itself.
• Anything to do with Ricardo once he gets some alcohol, really. From his dropping his usual charm in favor of enthusiastically fanboying about Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team's Blu-Ray extras, to his acing his first tournament round while still having the hangover of the century.
  Sei & Mao: ''So disillusioned.''
• Whoever animated the faces on ALL of the characters. They really did a number to show the amount of funny emotions.
• Aila is a walking scene of funny, ranging from fighting for the last meat bun to killing the usual emotionless Newtype girl stereotype with her cute face before she was about to eat her meat bun.

Episode 11

• Fellini is funny in this episode. In particular, the army against Fellini, all united to take him down, because Fellini took all their girlfriends.
  Fellini: "She came onto me!"
  Cziommer: "YOU LIE!"
• The Doms getting taken down by Meijin.
• The stinger at the end, where Reiji and Co. are scared of a Zaku. A giant 1/48 scale (most gunpla are 1/144) Zaku.
• Aila hiding from her Team Nemesis retainers, and briefly dragging Reiji in the process.
  • Reiji then spotted the bag of food near Aila's butt. So he gets closer, takes a whiff, and says "Smells good." Then they fall on top of each other.
• Mashita, chairman of PPSE, wets his pants (caused by a glass of wine he spilled) at the sight of Reiji.
• Tatsuya as Meijin Kawaguchi III meeting Sei and Reiji. 'Nuff said.
• What should have been a Moment of Awesome as Mao pulls a Big Damn Heroes and takes down Cziommer turns into this instead, as Cziommer somehow has time to go through Color Failure before his oversized carrier goes down.

Episode 12

• Nils' imagining Reiji's fight against the Mega Zaku as Don Quixote tilting at a windmill...or rather. Nether Gundam.
• Chairman Mashita acting like a child, rolling on the floor, crying out in pain after Meijin Kawaguchi held his arm a little too tight. He even requested his secretary to relieve his pain like one would do to a 5 year old child. And it's super effective!
• Reiji X Aila. Take 3. This time involving shoving meatbuns into one other.
  • To clarify: As Reiji leaves the convenience store, someone throws a bag at him which he catches. It turns out to be Aila, who bought meat buns using the excess money Reiji gave her last episode to repay the one he took. Reiji says he doesn't want them because they're cold, but Aila says she didn't know when she'd run into him again and insists he take them because she doesn't want to be in his debt. They end up trying to shove the bag into each others' hands.

Episode 13

• We start with Mr. Ral's "Love in the air" detector. Whenever he detects love in the air, he buttocks will start to itch, prompting him to scratch them. China and Reiji both asked if he's alright but Sei took it to another level, deducing it to be hemorrhoids.
• The various "Original weapons", ranging from a normal tonfa or gun to Mao's spray gun and Fellini's heat scissors.
• Cziommer, thinking Bigger Is Better, enters with a WaDom and ended up with a normal sized handgun, which due to the size of the WaDom, is smaller than a peashooter (and too tiny for the WaDom's fingers!). Fellini quickly dispatches him with his "Heat Scissors."
  Cziommer: "You're using the scissors the wrong way!!"
• The cake is taken by Sei and Reiji. They got a cap, a glove and several balls (that resemble the RB-79 Ball, at that), turning the Star Build Strike into a baseball pitcher, then a stadium rises around them, turning the match against Luang into a baseball match.
  • Build Strike wearing the baseball cap is already really silly... and then enters Abigorbine with the cap dangling from its antenna.
  • The first pitch ends up being a foul ball... which has enough force to escape the play field and blast Kirara's soda can out of her hand, nearly smacking two nearby fans and leaving her looking on in Color Failure mode.
    Announcer: "Please watch out for foul balls."
• Mashita's secretary's Villainous Breakdown when her scheme to get Sei and Reiji eliminated fails utterly.

Episode 14

• Mr. Ral revealing to China that he is 35.
• Cziommer vs. Fellini, Round 3. Cziommer is waiting for Fellini in his custom Loto this time to hit him with missiles, only to have Felini vaporize his Gunpla with one shot from his Meteor Hopper. This, ladies and gents, is why you never park in front of a Buster Rifle.
  Cziommer: "I'll leave no traces!"
• Rinko doesn't like it when Sei and Reiji are not in the spotlight and the commentator doesn't care about it.
• Chairman Mashita's Oh, Crap! face when Reiji broke open his door.

Episode 15

• Sei's "WTF?" expression when Ral tells him about the Gunpla Mafia.
• Fellini hitting on a woman only to realize too late that it's actually Mihoshi (a.k.a Kirara); he only realizes when she holds her hair up in twin-tails and tries to play it off like he was teasing her.

Episode 16

• Sei's dream of reuniting with his dad is so cheesy, it's hilarious. Gunpla Bon Odori dance? Sei and Takeshi floating into space?
• Kirara interviewing Cziommer. Cziommer blatantly says on the screen that Fellini will suffer the most gruesome defeat and wonders what Kirara sees in him, only to get chewed out by Kirara.
• Rinko fantasizing about the press interviewing her, with one of the reporters hitting on her. She then closes the shop and dashes off, IN HIGH HEEL SHOES.
• Aila has an even more cute expression while eating that ice cream cone.
• Sei forgets that he has a drink in his hand and spills it when he takes a bow to thank Mr. Ral.
• Reiji meeting an eccentric old man (who is really Takeshi Iori, Sei's father) who is too enthusiastic when it comes to Gunpla. He then got reeled into building Gunpla under his instructions.
  • On that matter, Aila is stalking Reiji, and got jealous when she sees him with the old man.
  • She then got spotted and reeled into Gunpla building as well.
• Your response should be "Sir! Yes, Sir!"
• Reiji and Aila competing with each other in various process of Gunpla building.
• "Anyway, how long are you going to hold my hand!?"
• Sometimes he's the owner of a back-alley model store, and sometimes he's a gunpla fan, traveling around the world to promote gunpla. But his true self is International Gunpla Battle Official Referee, Takeshi Iori!
• Takeshi returns to the Iori Model Shop, only to find out that it's closed.
  • Complete with plastic tumbleweed, and Sazaki cycling by.
    Takeshi: "Rinny, I love you!!"
  • Becomes even funnier when you realize he was probably expecting to get some. You know what I mean.
• By the time the episode is finished, one will realize that the entire Iori family are Cloud Cuckoolanders.

Episode 17

• Rinko wakes both Sei and Reiji up, telling them they're late for the tournament bracket release. Sei is seen running, half asleep, towards the stadium while ranting about how humanity will evolve into Newtypes that are able to stop time.
• Mao and his master talk about their respective favourite female characters in the franchise. Mao's answer is Emma Sheen, while his master's is Murrue Ramius. Cue clip show of breast bouncing moments.

Episode 18

• Mao shows up at the start of the episode, seemingly to be cheerful and help out Sei and Reiji... by the time he leaves, they both decide he was probably just there to brag about getting a date with Misaki.
  Reiji: "What was that about?"
  Sei: "M-Maybe he's cheering us up in his own way?"
  Reiji: "I doubt that."
  Sei: "A-Ah...m-maybe..."
  • A date which ends in a slap before it even actually started because Mao wanted to immediately plant a kiss on Misaki. Reiji (ironic since he's even denser than a neutron star) puts it best, really:
    Reiji: "It's your fault."
• Sei, China, Reiji, and Aila. On a group date. That is all.
  • In a blink-and-miss-it moment, the Gundam Twitter. Particularly this line:
    "Is the Kampfer Amazing because he's a Meijin?"
  • And the lampshading of how the Kampfer Amazing's Binders really shouldn't be able to carry so many weapons.

Episode 19

• Every single interaction between Nils and Caroline.
  • Special mention goes to the scene where they have to rebuild their Gunpla in one minute. China is cheering on Sei who responds with a Crush Blush. When Caroline cheers on Nils, his face shows discomfort and he politely tells her to be quiet. Of course, there was the contrast between their cheers:
  China: "Iori-kun, do your best!"
  Caroline: "Nils, win for me!"
• Meijin Kawaguchi's random comment during the Build Strike vs. Sengoku Astray fight:
  Meijin: "He called it Sengoku, but it uses a Chinese Technique?"
• Baker's epic face-fault when Nils loses.
• Nils gets so caught up in the fight, he forgets completely about his deal with Baker when he loses.

Episode 20

• Chairman Mashita throwing a tantrum over finding out Sei and Reiji have made it into the Top 4. Mid-way through, he notices that Miss Baker is missing, and runs out of the room searching for her. And then we cut to Baker, who is hiding under a desk.
• Sei, Nils, Reiji, and Mao in the apartment room. Hilarity ensures one after the other.
  • It starts with Nils saying things that you would usually hear at a meditation session (keep a calm mind, breathe deeply), and we are shown that he is meditating... with Reiji. The purpose of this is to uncover the secrets of the Plavski Particle that is possibly within Reiji's memories by meditation. Reiji, being Reiji, falls asleep in less than 3 seconds, complete with giant snot bubble.
  • Nils uses hypnosis on Sei, thinking he has memories about the Plavsky Particles buried in his subconscious. Sei's reaction is... to to act out all (and yes, we mean ALL) 43 episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam from Amuro Ray's perspective. Sadly, most of it happens off-screen, but we do get to see him recreating the original Bright Slap scene◊. Now recall that, according to Nils, these are Sei's memories from age 3...
    • Also, throughout the Bright Slap scene, Sei's face is Art Shifted to resemble Yoshikazu Yazuhiko's character designs from the original series.
  • Mao gets dumped by Misaki. Again.
• Kirara interviewing China, who winds up outing just how Gunpla-obsessed Sei is, even in school, on National Television. She quickly realizes how embarrassing this would be, both for him, and Rinko watching in the crowd.
• And in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Sei's dad manages to get inside their house and slouch about while waiting for Rinny... all while leaving the living room in a complete mess.

Episode 21

• The climax to the Aila vs. Reiji battle.
  • The highlights are Aila telling Reiji that she didn't want to fight Reiji because she would have won. Reiji is NOT amused.
  • Cue their Gunpla teasing and insulting each other, with EVERYONE'S WTF reaction on maximum mode.
    Reiji: "I'm the one who's going to win, you fool."
    Aila: "Wh... (tears off the mind control helmet) WHO ARE YOU CALLING A FOOL?! (Qubeley punches the Build Strike) You're the fool!"
    Reiji: "Say that again?!" (Build Strike punches back)
    Aila: "Fool! Fool! Your punch is weak!" (said while the Qubeley dances in a childish, taunting manner◊, causing the Strike to clench its fist in anger)
    Reiji: "You were crying just now!"
    Aila: "NO, I WASN'T!"
  • Kirara and Fellini lampshading the above scene.
    Kirara: "Is this a lover's spat?"
    Fellini: "I told him to enjoy the battle, not flirt his way through it..."
  • Alia quitting Team Nemesis and calling everybody on her team out. Doubles as a Moment of Awesome.
    • The individual call-outs are worth mentioning. When Nine tries to ask what's going on by entering through her cockpit, she literally shoves him away, saying "I'm not listening to you anymore!". Then Nemesis' sponsor Josef contacts her via video window; Aila shouts "Shove it, you geezer!", then tells his grandson "If you want to win a Gunpla Battle, do it yourself!", prompting the shocked boy to stammer out "Y-yes, ma'am."
    • The above itself crosses into Awesome when you realize that That boy took Alia's words to heart and actually DID win battles on his own in Gundam Build Fighters Try.
  • When Reiji calls for the RG System, Sei is still WTFing over what just happened and just says "Y-yes, sir."
• Aila reminding Reiji that he promised she could come live at Sei's, as she had nowhere else to go after quitting her team. Between Sei and China, the former is left flailing hard by Reiji's antics. And Mao continues to lament everyone else having better luck with women than him.
  Mao: "MISAKI!!!"
  Reiji: "SHUT UP!"
  • Even funnier, if you listen carefully enough you can hear the clang of Reiji's drink can hitting something. Given the timing to Reiji's Big "SHUT UP!" one could guess that Reiji hurled it at Mao in irritation.

Episode 22

• Rinny and China just brought a large bento box for Sei and Reiji. Cue Aila coming out of the bathroom in a Modesty Towel, apparently activating her Cuteness Proximity switch... and causing triple Color Failure.
  • Best Bit: Reiji is still sleeping in his pajamas, still unaware of the commotion.
  • Rinko crossing her arms while vetoing Alia living in Sei and Reiji's room. China, standing next to her, only has the tips of her fingers crossed.
  • A bit later, Reiji reveals to Aila his origins as the Crown Prince of Arian (see Episode 3). Aila's reaction? Laugh herself sick.
    Reiji: "WHY DOESN'T ANYONE BELIEVE ME?!"
• After learning of Aila's background, Rinko immediately offers her a place at the Iori household. This heartwarming scene apparently becomes simultaneously hysterical when Rinko notes the added incentive of staying at her house: being close to Reiji. Aila's subsequent reactions are priceless.

Episode 23

• Baker assures Mashita that the Meijin will beat Sei and Reiji, leading Mashita to point out that all of Baker's previous plans had failed, leading to Baker's mini-breakdown.
• Cziommer returns again, only to get crub-stomped by random kids, including Alfred Izuruha.
• Takeshi finally realized that Rinko came to cheer for their son and wondered why he didn't know. Cue a Char-cameo sitting next to him calling him a spoiled kid.
  • Especially notable for those who saw the original Mobile Suit Gundam in Japanese, because not-Char's comment is the exact same Char says during Gihren's famous speech when Gihren asks the audience why Garma had to die.
  • The newtype sound-effect that came right before he said that helped.
  • And then Lalah walks in frame looking at Takeshi like he's a crazy man.
• Sazaki Screams Like a Little Girl again, after his third Gyan gets effortlessly curb-stomped by Fellini's newly upgraded, Gundam Fenice Rinascita.
  Fellini: "Evvai!"^note Basically the Italian version of "Hurrah!" or "Yay!"
  Sei: "He's like a little boy."
  Reiji: "This is bullying."
• The match between Fellini and Kirara, in which Fellini shows just how whipped he is when it comes to her. Luang, Cziommer and Greco becoming just as disillusioned as Sei and Mao is the icing on the cake.
  • Fridge funny for Cziommer since he's the one who's girlfriend Fellini stole and is the only one of the three who doesn't respect Fellini. Which gives his disillusionment a whole different meaning.
  • And in a meta sense, Masami Obari remarked on Twitter that even though it's just a Gunpla, he now has to live with the fact that he gave a mobile suit Luminescent Blush for the rest of his life. Note the man is not worried that he just had one mobile suit molesting another, just that he made the victim blush.
• Mao's Master leering at Rinko in a perverted manner, and then Ral suddenly butting in to protect her.
  • Even funnier when you remember that Mao's Master had a fixation on Captain Murrue Ramius.
  • Cherry on top is when Rinko reunites with her husband, Takeshi. Mao's Master let's out a deep sigh, and Ral gives him a look that screams "What's wrong with you?"
• Caroline continues to be insistent of her and Nils's relationship, by declaring him her fiancee.
  Nils: "Our relationship has gone forward?"

Episode 24

• Not a funny episode by any stretch of the imagination, there is nonetheless a pair of quick shots after Sei and Reiji defeat the Exia Dark Matter. First, Mashita and Baker's Oh, Crap! faces. Second, Allan, Nine, and a bunch of Mooks all fighting over the remote to the Embody System, only to be frozen in the most ridiculous pose possible to look at the TV as Sei and Reiji's victory is announced.
• A Baoa Qu breaking through the roof of the stadium before a crowd of awe-struck tournament goers was pretty funny.
• Who was Baker before she met Mashita? A Sayla cosplayer!

Episode 25

• Ral and Chinan appear with their Gunpla, leaving Mao and Felini in awe of their...awesome. Kirara is more deadpan.
  Kirara: "They're...absurdly strong..."
  Fellini: "That's the true strength of the Blue Giant!"
  Mao: "Master! You're too awesome!"
• Having just watched Chairman Mashita and Baker disappear back to Arian, Sei puts two-and-two together, and assumes the same thing will happen to Reiji. He turns around to see him... absolutely fine. Though his fears were correct in the end.
• Reiji being forced to return to Arian. However, much to his surprise, he finds out that Aila decided to tag along with him.
  • Reiji asking why she's there. Aila blushed and said that she made a wish. Reiji still doesn't get it.
  Aila: "REIJI, YOU IDIOT!!!!"

Gundam Build Fighters Amazing

• A long-awaited Lampshade Hanging when Tatsuya builds a Nu Gundam without the funnels installed, claiming they "are being tested at Anaheim". Turns out simply learning to use the things has its own drawbacks, as they're shown flying off without him.

Gundam Build Fighters Battlelogue

• In episode one:
  • The Gunpla battle systems have been updated to feature a quasi-personality generator that can create AI replica's of famous Gundam characters. Allan and Tatsuya use it to set up a showdown between Char Aznable and Ribbons Almark. Char almost immediately notices Ribbon's voice sounds... "familiar." Unsurprisingly, it irritates him.
  • Than, during the middle of the fight, as it seems to be victory for Char, Allan decides to play a little prank. The prank in question? He swaps out Ribbons for Amuro Ray!
  • Adding to the humor, upon realizing he's fighting Amuro now, Char demands to know why Ribbons sounds just like Amuro Ray. Amuro's answer? Just a coincidence.
• Episode two gives us a cooperative action between Yuuma and Minato, who work surprisingly well together in attacking an enemy base and taking on a powerful mobile suit... until the time comes to finish it off.
• Episode three decides to go outright meta:
  • Unlike the Musou campaign from the previous one, this one takes a JRPG angle with Fumina and Gyanko solving the mystery of the kidnapped Beargguy variants. We go from finding the Beargguys crucified on runners like something out of End of Evangelion to The Reveal that the demon responsible was born out of leftover parts from building those Beargguys, specifically the Acguy heads.
  • Fumina and Gyanko get battered the first time, and are about to run out of energy... until Chinagguy leads the Petitguys from the village to give our heroes strength, from the light of those hard-to-find and overpriced Gunpla LED units.
  Narration^note by Iori Rinko no less!: Children in front of the tv, shine your LEDs on our heroes too!
  • The battle is ended when Fumina evolves into Winning Fumina and frees the demonic spirit from the Acguy parts... allowing them to be recycled into the Ecopla line of recycled plastic Gunpla.
  • This entire episode is one humongous parody of Pretty Cure!
• Episode 4 has the Renalto Brothers return and find themselves battling a massive Perfect Grade Exia Gundam. Who would do such a thing? A very smug looking Meijin Kawaguchi.

GM's Counterattack

• Nils, who has retired from fighting, declares he'll be participating in the exhibition battle to witness how his friends handle the new battle system. Mao correctly quesses Nils just wants to battle with them.
• Mao is once again the comedy relief and Butt-Monkey... at the hands of some of the most blatant bouncy Fanservice ever seen in a Gundam series. Mao's eyes actually go in opposite directions trying to follow the gratuitous bouncing. It's almost certainly a parody of the Neneka Corps, the bikini-clad girls who tried their luck against teen protagonist Uso Ewin of Victory Gundam; this lady weaponizes Distracted by the Sexy, to the point of almost defeating Mao without him firing a shot. Even his triumph over her is a joke at his expense—Mao's Anguished Declaration of Love to a hypothetical Misaki (who he imagines as being disappointed in him for his inability to stop staring) comes in the form of a preposterously sized Wave-Motion Gun blast from the Gundam X JuuMaoh's Quad Satellite Cannons, that blows out the end of a colony cylinder with a huge pink-white beam emblazoned with the words "MISAKI IS MY LIFE." Freud would have had a field day with that imagery.
  • Even better, the real Misaki is watching this as it unfolds, because the scene is being broadcast to the whole world live. Her reaction is a terribly embarrassed Face Palm.
• In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, you can see there is a MS Girl model of China, in a Beargguy III-themed costume, in the club room where Sei left his trophy in. The funny part is, Sei in all probability got China's permission before making it.
