The time for battle is approaching.
Yes. It brings out the youth in me.
Please be careful.
I wont get into an accident even if I go mach 10.
Yassan?
Yassan!
Everyone, it's not long until the final pitch.
Let's work even harder and get them invest on us!
Yes!
Yes.
Riko, as the President, you have to be so motivated that your nose is bleeding.
I know.
Do you really understand that this is a really critical time for us?
What!? -What's wrong?
Yassan got into a traffic accident.
[Riko-san, Yassan just got into a traffic accident...]
You can go now.
I hope Yassan is fine...
Yassan?
Are you okay, Yassan?
Other than broken arms, he suffered only minor injuries.
Because she called me, I thought that you might be dead.
Don't assume that I'm dead.
TV King Plastic Model Championship: Champion Tournament?
It's a plastic model tournament that takes place once every 4 years.
That's too awesome.
Because Yassan was the first champion,
he was asked to participate in the tournament.
That's amazing.
Riko.
You're going to participate on my behalf.
What?
I can't compete with these arms.
It's impossible for me.
You are a beast of possibilities,
you just don't realize your own talents.
I don't have any talents. -Yes, you do.
I'm a plastic model professional.
Riko-san, I can tell that you're special when I first met you.
I... -I'm happy.
But, I'm not confident.
Excuse me.
Riko-san...
My phone...
I left it behind.
The winner is Yajima Hajime!
Congratulations!
Congratulations, how are you feeling right now?
I'm shocked.
I'm happy.
That was a long battle.
Yes. I took part in a camp to raise my skills for this day...
So...
Don't look at Yassan like this!
It's obvious, but plastic model is freedom.
Plastic model is freedom!
Freedom! -Congratulations!
The winner is Yajima Hajime!
You're going to participate on my behalf.
You are a beast of possibilities.
Okay. -What?
I don't know how far I'll go, but I'll do it.
Really?
Riko-san, I love you!
Horray!
Alright, time for special training!
Okay.
[3 days until the pitch]
Let's return to the office.
[Let's do the special training ASAP!]
It's already time to go home, let's call it a day.
Our goal is 100,000 downloads until the pitch.
Shinji and the others are still at the office.
I have plans.
Let's return to the office first.
This is an order from your subordinate.
Special training!
Let's go.
Riko! -What is it?
Komukai Riko! Let's go!
2 months until the tournament.
You'll learn as much as possible.
I'll do everything in my power.
I can't teach you technical stuff.
Ao-san?
Ao's nickname is...
Weathering Ao!
Weathering Ao?
Starting from today, Ao is your master.
I'm going to be a little tough on you.
Okay.
Aoshima 1/72 Military Model Kit Series
Type 96 Wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier Type A.
Weathering is a technique that seeks realism by staining or damaging the kits.
First of all, are the swamp stains.
After you finish painting the whole kit,
you wipe it off to create nuances.
Next up are the desert stains.
You paint it using a dry brush
to express the dryness.
Good.
The bullet traces is not bad,
but you should do it more quickly and precise.
Okay!
You're staring at me.
People will watch you during the tournament.
You can't waver under the pressure.
Hurry up! Fight!
The pressure is only at 5G.
It's getting painful.
Riko! Fight!
There will be cameras! The whole nation will be watching.
The pressure is up to 10G. Don't lose consciousness.
Hurry up!
I received the data on the effectiveness of our online ads.
[2 days until the pitch]
It's not bad or good...
Maybe we were too stiff.
I've prepared a backup plan.
That's great.
Leave the budgeting to me.
That's great.
I've also added the feedback from the users to the sales document.
Thanks. -There's also negative feedback mixed in.
That's great. -You're repeating too much.
Are you sleeping?
Hey...
Do you really understand that this is a really critical time for us?
I know, so don't say it.
This data.
I'm going beyond my limits, so wait just a second.
The one who will be teaching you is...
It's not the two of you?
Her nickname is Detail Up Maika!
The Komukai Riko that I haven't met before.
Before?
You look different from the Riko-chan that I know.
Do you know someone with the same name as me?
That's right.
Let's get started.
Okay.
Hasegawa Water Line Series
Japanese Battleship Kongo.
Detail up is the process of adding elements to a kit using various methods.
You can also use the detail up materials that is sold separately.
Sold separately? I didn't know this kind of thing exists.
Plastic model is... -Freedom.
Good. -Riko, scramble!
Go! Go! Riko!
[1 day until the pitch]
Let's make sure that tomorrow's pitch will be a success and we'll get someone to invest!
Yes.
DreCra team has evolved lately, it's terrifying.
At this rate, someone will surely invest on them during the pitch.
There's no point in looking at others.
Our goal is much further down the road.
Yup.
The one who will teach you today is..
Again?
Her nickname is...
Diorama Chiemi!
Nice to meet you, Zaku-nee.
Likewise.
Zaku-nee, diorama is...
Are you calling me Zaku-nee?
Zaku is not the Gundam,
It's that.
It's a dialect from her hometown...
It means that you have nice skin.
A person with nice skin?
Yup.
That's not bad.
Not too shabby.
Agree.
Ready, start!
You've been learning about the kit until now, but diorama is the surroundings.
Is diorama a plastic model?
It makes the world of the plastic models even more realistic.
Create the world itself.
That's right, let's create the rocks first.
The tournament is also a race against time.
Train so that you can create it in 5 minutes.
Okay!
8 minutes and 20 seconds. Again!
Riko, retry, come on! -Okay.
Again!
Retry, come on!
How did I do?
4 minutes and 58 seconds.
Alright.
Riko, great! -It's all thanks to you, Chiemi-chan.
Next up is making the ground. -The ground?
It's so exciting.
The final presentations of the 10 companies to investors have been completed.
Good work everyone.
The team that received the investment.
and the ones who didn't get any investment.
At the suggestion of the President of Honey Group,
who wants to invest in Nakano-san's Perfect Beans and our Nokoruna,
another round of presentation will take place in 2 weeks time.
This is a huge chance. -That's right.
Everyone, I'm counting on you.
Likewise.
I'm going to take my leave now. -What?
Hey! Good luck! -Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you very much.
Riko-san seems so busy lately.
We're not going to lose, but good luck on your presentation.
We also won't lose.
I want you guys to tell me something.
You're going to build this today.
The F-14 is a naval fighter aircraft developed by
Northrop Grumman of the USA.
It's nickname is Tomcat.
It's an aircraft classified as a fourth-generation jet fighter,
having been assigned to an operational unit since 1973 after it's first flight in 1970.
It's also famous for being used in the movie "Top Gun" starring Tom Cruise.
I see.
Open the box!
Listen to me Riko, plastic model is freedom.
I've heard that many times before. -What is that freedom?
Freedom is...
You're free to imagine anything.
You can freely imagine the story of the kit in front of you.
Freely imagine the story...
Not only fighters like Tomcat,
but all mobile suits are always fighting somewhere.
Of course...
At the sky...
Swamp, desert.
Jungle, town and in cold weather.
Underwater too.
In space.
Nice.
What is it's goal?
What is the goal of the enemy?
To save someone...
Right now? 100 years ago?
Oh yeah, it can transcend time and space.
There's weathering.
There's also detail up. -And diorama.
There are techniques to make your imagination a reality.
And at the same time,
those techniques will carry your imagination even further.
That's a good look on your eyes.
I won't say a word, so do as you please!
Ah.
It's broken.
What are you going to do about it?
Good job.
Weathering Ao!
Good.
Detail Up Maika.
Go! Go! Riko!
Diorama Chiemi.
Riko, retry, come on!
Tomcat, give birth!
You did great.
It's all thanks to everyone's training.
Riko, will you carry Yajima Model Shop's name on your back?
Yes!
Eh? -What?
Your injuries? -It's healed.
What? -It's healed.
Your plastic model journey has just begun.
This is the chart until the tournament.
Here you go.
There's a lot of things left to learn.
I can't wait.
You're a beast of possibilites after all.
You're the successor to Votoms Yajima.
What are you talking about?
Votoms Yajima.
That is Yassan's nickname.
Votoms?
Is it the one in the shop by any chance?
Mysterious.
