Sei, Reiji, and Mao have been chosen to participate in the Gunpla Battle Championship World Tournament. Meanwhile, outside Japan, a series of qualifying tournaments have been underway in other countries to select players for the World Tournament.

Sei and Reiji have now earned their place in the World Tournament. Together with Rinko and China, they go to the summer sea, where they can all forget the usual battles and enjoy the seaside.

But now that Yuuki has suddenly withdrawn from the competition, Reiji has lost his purpose, and aimlessly wanders the streets. Sei, too, is frustrated that he can’t have a rematch with Yuuki. Seeing the two of them, China feels an indescribable uneasiness. Now that Reiji is unable to fight Yuuki, where is he going to end up?

Having won the Japanese 5th Block, he has already earned a place in the World Tournament, and he says he has come to the store because he is interested in Sei, a highly skilled builder who is the same age as he is.

Mihoshi makes a deep impression on Sei, and as he advances through the championship, she repeatedly comes to see him at school as well as at the store. And Yuuki, who is with her, feels an indescribable anxiety when he sees Mihoshi.

Sei and Reiji have now witnessed the overwhelmingly superior power of Tatsuya Yuuki’s Zaku Amazing. And on the day of the championship, Sei has somehow completed the Build Strike, but Reiji is nowhere to be found…

After many ups and downs, the finals of the Gunpla Battle Championship World Tournament are over at last. However, in its aftermath, the Plavsky particle crystals have gone out of control.

The Gunpla Battle Championship World Tournament finals have begun at last, but the arena is shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. The Gundam Amazing Exia, the Gunpla that Meijin Kawaguchi is using against Sei’s and Reiji’s Star Build Strike, has been painted black.

Mao and Aila are hard at work building new Gunpla, and Fellini presents his own new model. “Let’s make this a great battle,” he says. With their promise to Yuuki in mind, Sei and Reiji face the tournament finals!

Julian had withdrawn from Gunpla Battle, but after three years, he has now reactivated his Gundam F91 Imagine. Against him, Kawaguchi deploys the product of PPSE’s full effort, the Amazing Exia. With their wills and beliefs on the line, sparks fly between the two Meijins!

As they continue a battle worthy of being called a death match, only Sei has misgivings. He isn’t trying to win, he’s wishing for a miracle!

“I can’t be defeated! They’re waiting for me!” As the battle continues, Sei and Reiji arrive late to the arena thanks to an errand requested by Nils. When they get there, they witness an unexpected scene!

Using Sei’s Build Strike Gundam, Reiji wins a total victory in his battle with Gonda. Then a crimson Gunpla appears before them both—the Zaku Amazing!

Hearing this from Nils, the normally mild Sei is enraged. Nils’s Gunpla may be superb, but Sei finds it absolutely unacceptable for him to make a mockery of Gunpla Battle. With neither side willing to concede their desires, they begin their battle, and the hidden mysteries of Nils’s Sengoku Astray are finally revealed!

The Renato brothers say they are fighting a war, not playing Gunpla Battle. Can the Meijin’s love of Gunpla prevail against enemies who only want to destroy their opponent?

As the World Tournament finals begin, Sei and Reiji find that their opponent in the first round is Mao Yasaka. When they met in Tokyo, they swore to fight in the World Tournament, and now that promise will finally be fulfilled.

This is a moment of relaxation, but Sei is focused on improving the Star Build Strike. When Sei refuses to let him help with the work, Reiji heads into town to prove that he too can build Gunpla.

Sei and Reiji have no choice but to win their next battle. But their opponent in the final period turns out to be the Italian champion Ricardo Fellini, who has been undefeated up through the seventh period.

The tournament has reached its sixth period, and only two periods now remain. Sei and Reiji have earned a good point score, and are working their way into the top group.

The World Tournament enters its third period, which consists of one-on-one battles using only the original weapons prepared by the tournament organizers. Nobody will know what the weapons are until the battle begins
