It’s been seven years since Sei Iori and Reiji’s victory
at the 7th Gunpla World Tournament.
Gunpla Battles have changed.
Tournaments now focus on 3 man cell battles comprised of fighters and
builders. One such enthusiast, Fumina
Hoshino, wishes to form a team to compete in the Japanese National Tournament,
the first step to the world championship.
She finds additional teammembers in her childhood friend, Yuuma Kousaka,
brother of China Kousaka, and Sekai Kamiki, a martial arts prodigy who bears a
strange resemblance to another mysterious Gunpla Fighter. Together, under the
guidance of legend Ramba Ral, they form Team Try Fighters. But there’s plenty holding this crew back
from being a top notch team and their opponents are some of the most vicious
Gunpla Fighters to step into the ring.
Well this was…disappointing to say the least. After the finale of Gundam Build Fighters I
was pumped. Sure there wasn’t a lot
explained as to Reiji’s other worldly origins, how the technology came from the
to here to make Gunpla Battles possible or if Reiji and Aila would ever return
to Sei and China after their sad departure…but I was still satisfied and eager
for more. I don’t know if it was my high
holdings of the first series that may have proved to be too much for Gundam
Build Fighters Try to live up to. But
turns out a number of things would hold it way, WAY back from being anywhere
near as good as it’s predecessor.
