Dewicking Just For Pun


** The ''Battlelogue'' and ''GM's Counterattack'' OVA's can be seen as this towards fans who were less than pleased that ''Anime/GundamBuildFightersTry'' focused on a completely new cast of characters [[PutOnABus and put a majority of the original characters on the bus]]. These OVA's are set to put the focus [[JustForPun Back-On]] Sei and the gang.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: GX Maoh's Plavsky Particle compressing and releasing ability. May be a ShoutOut to LightNovel/{{A|CertainMagicalIndex}}ccelerator.
** Not to mention that Build Strike and Star Build Strike's beam rifles make the classic beam rifle firing sound from the original series. Many other audio cues from other shows appear, like Exia's boot-up noise.

Removing unnecessary pothole.


** In Nils' case, he has steadily come out of his shell since his debut. Getting involved with some great gags and antics with the colorful cast, as well as developing to show his valor and fandom of Gundam and Gunpla Battling, even so much as [[BerserkButton losing his composure]] after his beloved Astray took heavy damage. Not to mention his consistently awesome gunpla kills.

Fan Nickname is now an Audience Reaction per TRS, moving example from Trivia to YMMV

Added DiffLines:

* FanNickname:
** Sazaki is often called [[{{Yandere}} Gyandere]], due to his obsession with Sei and his preference of Gunpla.
** Rinko is called Mama-n, the suffix ~n is used in Japan as to point out cuteness aloud.
*** Also it sounds the same like the Japanese slang ''Maman'', which is the equivalent of MILF there.
** The moment Sengoku Astray appears fully as a model kit, it earned the title of Weeaboo Astray, being overtly Japanophile all around (even the name Gundam is written in Kanji).
** The GBF universe is also sometimes called "Gundam Valhalla" due to the numerous cameos of previously deceased Gundam characters being shown living happy and carefree lives.
** On certain {{Imageboards}}, the show is also called "Gunpla/Gundam Boy Friends" due to the abundance of shipping material, of both the HoYay and straight variety.
** Rainer Cziommer, due to his Wile E. Coyote tactic, is now know as "butt-hurt NTR guy" in Japan.
*** The alliance of pilots who attack Fellini in episode 11 was quickly dubbed "Team [[{{Netorare}} NTR]]", since their entire motivation was to exact revenge against Fellini for stealing their girlfriends (though he insists that they came on to him).
** Aila's Qubeley Papillon is slowly getting the nickname "Uberley" for being overpowered against other Gunpla that it faces.
** Nils Nielsen is now known as [=NiNiNi=] - for '''Ni'''nja '''Ni'''ls '''Ni'''elsen, which is what he becomes when he's not doing Gunpla fights.
** As soon as the Renato brothers started to snark [[spoiler:at Luang Dallara's defeat during the episode 17 stinger]], the western fandom quickly named them "the evil Lockon twins".
*** Before this, they were called the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Super Renato Bros.]]
** The strange friendship/ShipTease between Reiji and Aila has been labelled as "The Meatbun Chronicles", due to that food playing a role in their first several meetings. As a result, both of them received the nicknames "Mr. and Ms./Mrs. Meatbun."
** Dark Matter Exia is often jokingly called "Edgia" due to its [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver "dark and edgy" colorscheme]] and all of the sharp edges incorporated into its design.
** "Trans-Amazing" for Amazing Exia's Trans-Am.
** "Build [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Hell and Heaven]]" for [[spoiler:Star Build Strike's Double Build Knuckle, which was used against Exia Dark Matter.]]
** Meanwhile, due to the events of Episode 25 [[spoiler: and the end of the Island Wars OVA]], Aila quietly received from the fans the title "[[spoiler:Arian's Future Queen]]".

** Nils Nielsen. While he does have a pretty badass, Samurai-themed Gunpla, many expressed hatred towards him for feeling that he was generic or "[[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement too perfect]]" compared to the rest of the cast, and how he kicked [[EnsembleDarkhorse Greco Logan]] out of the tournament. As the series continued however, many [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap turned around]] after [[TheComicallySerious he got into some more zany antics with the rest of the cast]] and [[BecomingTheMask got into gunpla for real]].

* AmericansHateTingle: The third episode of ''Battlelouge'' was not received well by the American fans, mostly due to the more LighterAndSofter MagicalGirl leaning. This is due to the fact that the entire episode is a parody/ShoutOut towards ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' and unless you're one of those who have seen it, either through fansubs, ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'' being on [=tubiTV=] or the ''Glitter Force'' dubs on Netflix, you're not going to have any understanding as to what's going on.

YMMV tropes can't be played with, so there can't be a subversion or aversion here. If it doesn't play it straight, it shouldn't be here.


** Then, after calling Fellini out [[spoiler:of his [[TakingYouWithMe self-detonation attempt]] in Episode 20]], Kirara is again getting flak from some fans (thus subverting this trope), mostly for having denied a supposed send-off for Fenice (and probably a homage to ''Wing'', too. But thanks to her, Fenice comes back a few episodes later with a cool redesign, just in time to take part in the final battle... so it probably evens out.
* StrangledByTheRedString: Averted with Fellini/Kirara and [[spoiler:Aila/Reiji]]. Unlike many installments in the ''Gundam'' franchise, ''Build Fighters'' takes its time to develop the relationships and has both couples going through highs and lows. For many fans, this makes their respective pay-offs (Episodes 20 and 21 respectively) all the more SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}}.

** One of the series most notable moments was [[TakeThat the jab]] at the Live-Action project ''Film/GSaviour'', with [[DeathByCameo the titular mech getting offed rather quickly]]. Then years later, the ''Build'' series would get its own Live-Action project, ''WebVideo/GundamBuildReal''.

* AntiClimaxBoss: A bit. Even though the battle between [[spoiler: Reiji and Sei, and Mao]] was hyped up for a good chunk of the show. Their final battle was a bit of a CurbStompBattle. {{Justified|Trope}} a little since [[spoiler: Sei had made numerous additions to the Star Build Strike since their imagination battle, when it still was only the Build Strike Full Package, while Mao didn't really have any additional improvements to his Gunpla aside from the Maoh Sword]].

*** Case in point: A Kampfer EASILY beats a Legend Gundam, which is considered FinalBoss material in most Gundam games.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Not many fans were too keen about the series pre-release for feeling that it would just be a hollow MerchandiseDriven series that would equate to nothing more than a thirty-minute toy commercial. When the series came out, it became very well-received and spawned several spin-offs and sequels.


Added DiffLines:

* PanderingToTheBase: ''Build Fighters'' is, for all intents and purposes, "{{Fanservice}} the ''Gundam'' show", featuring tons of cameos and [[MythologyGag references]] from past series. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools And it works wonderfully.]]
