Gundam Build Fighters

I guess not. I'm sorry for asking this of you guys.

Personally the link doesn't show me anything. Like, it's not an error page,I just don't see any images when I open it.

Did they get deleted?

In which Kazami gets force-fed an entire humble pie.

He's still worst boy.

I like him but it seems like this may be the start of some character development for him. Hopefully it's not as rushed as Par's was.

I dunno, I kinda feel like he might turn into the villain, given his single-minded obsession with proving himself via body count.

That aside, I feel like there's a certain quote from a smart guy that sums up the group very succinctly: "We're not a team, we're a time bomb."

I've been wondering which Gundlander character Valkylander's Dragon Fusion Mode is based off of, and this tweet claims that it might be Redlander, who's based off of the PF-78-3 Perfect Gundam III "Red Warrior" from Plamo-Kyoshiro.

If this is true, then that would make Valkylander the second Gunpla in the Build Animes to be based off of the "Red Warrior", after the PF-78-3A Gundam Amazing Red Warrior.

I mean, it's all but confirmed via Gunpla reveals that there's going to be some evil version of the Justice Knight, since there's this Injustice weapons set.

Now, the question is it an Evil Knockoff or a Face–Heel Turn... that's up in the air.

No discussion of the new episode? I think Kazami is at least on the road to shaping up, even though it doesn't quite feel like he learned his lesson.

I was gonna post it, but I had a feeling people would just hate it.

I think he got it. He's a tank who though he was DPS, and now he's got over his fragile ego and realised that getting his machine ripped apart isn't nearly so bad if it helps the team.

I think we're about to finally get the details on Hiroto's backstory.

So guys, if you can bear with me for a bit, I want to share a crackpot theory I came up with weeks ago that I don't wholeheartedly believe, but am starting to wonder if it has some merit; I think that the pilot for the Gundam Seltsam might be Eve.

While we see flashbacks of Hiroto being happy with her, there's always a layer of sadness with them, and while we don't know what, it's clear that something happened between the two. What I'm thinking is that seeing the environments of Gunpla Battle Nexus Online get constantly ravaged by all the fighting made her snap, and led her to want to destroy all of Gunpla Battle Nexus Online just to make it all stop. And the reason why Hiroto's searching for her is because he's trying to stop her.

There actually has been some nods to this theory these past two episodes. Back on Episode 7 when the BUILD DiVERS encounter the Seltsam for the first time, Hiroto immediately rushes towards it with an angry look on his face, a complete contrast to how his character's been portrayed at that point. This means Hiroto already has some familiarity with and aggression towards the Seltsam. Then on Episode 8, Magee states that the way the Seltsam is customized would be impossible, since it deviates way too much from its expectedly-scanned base Gunpla, the MSF-007 Gundam Mk-III. I've been thinking that the Seltsam does look like it was made by a computer algorithim (Or AI in Eve's case) rather than a human being due to having inconsistent and asymmetric details, making it appear more like a glitch. If this is the case and Eve was the one who made it, then its overall contrast to the rules of Gunpla Battle Nexus Online makes sense. Finally, also on Episode 8, there's Hiroto walking around Seguri flashing on memories of him and Eve having fun in a city...one that looks remarkably similar to Seguri, except in much better condition than the more-cracked Seguri and witha more vibrant blue color. This makes me think that the world of the Story Mission has something to do with Eve and Hiroto, maybe being a datascape that was repurposed into a new program/add-on for Gunpla Battle Nexus Online, and the reason why Eve's razing it is out of outrage and/or part of her goal to destroy Gunpla Battle Nexus Online.

All of that said, the reason why I don't fully believe this theory is because wanting to destroy in retaliation towards destruction sounds like a very hypocritical mind process to jump to, as well the skin complexions of the two not matching, as in the few shots we've seen the Seltsam's pilot up to now, their color a lighter than Eve's. Not to mention if she really wanted to brick an entire online service that countless people use everyday, why would she limit herself to target one Story Mission that only a very small number of people know about and may or may not have something to do with Hiroto and her?

Honestly my theory was that Eve (Is that her name?) is Hiroto's childhood friend. Mostly due to the ED. But then episode 8 happened and now I'm thinking that May is Eve since the childhood friend did reference Eve as if they were a different person and May is having those secret conversations with Magee. The end of the episode kind of adds to it since she does say that Hiroto hasn't changed and we're shown parallels between her final words of the episode and something Eve said in the past, followed by a shocked look from Hiroto himself. I dunno what her motives would be for using a new account and not telling Hiroto though.

I've been considering that possibility as well. But I don't think Hinata is Eve. Honestly I've been thinking more that Hinata might be May, but that wouldn't make much sense considering Hinata's unfamiliarity with Gundam unless she was faking it, and even then May seems too experienced to be a young High School Girl IRL.

This has a couple of preview images for a new Manga Sidestory for "Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE".

Oh my god, that Brawler SD Gundam is my new favorite thing!

We have a full look at the pilot of Seltsam◊ thanks to Gundam Try Age, due to the game adding the character as part of a special event.

Seeing that hairdo gave me another crazy idea; What if the Seltsam pilot is Ogre?

That was... more or less what I expected after the last episode. So is May literally Eve or similar?

It's possible that she's just related. Eve did die somehow (probably in a way involving the Seltsam), but at least Hiroto gets a chance to talk to one of her AI 'sisters'.

You know, I expected May to be an El Diver, but I was not expecting that to be the WoDom's second form.

The new episode in question;

What a fucking episode. HOLY SHIT.

...On second thought, of course May's an EL-Diver. Her general personality traits were hints to the fact that she may be in the very early stages of emotional development. Add to the fact that her Wa DOM's second form is probably an emergency mode à la Virtue and Nadleeh in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, combined with the aforementioned similarities, and Magee's "mentoring" of her, then yeah, I'm okay with this. Especially since in the last series, it took so long to reveal Sarah's nature.

GBN administration should probably address this in the future.

And wait a second. All three EL-Divers have traditionally Western names. Coincidence?
