11	* Sekai searches for his sister by showing a picture of her to random strangers, echoing how Domon Kashuu searched for his brother in the early episodes of ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''.
12	* The Build Burning Gundam emerges from a Dom, similar to how Master Gundam emerges out of Kowloon Gundam in ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''.
13	* When Sekai uses his ultimate technique Seiken-Zuki, for a slight moment you when the water drops you can see the "Clean state of mind" from G Gundam.
14	* Ral refers to Sekai as a "the second coming of Reiji", referencing how Kamille Bidan was called "the second coming of Amuro Ray" in ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.
15	* An Enact getting completely destroyed after receiving praise is a reference to the first episode of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00''.
16	* Sekai paraphrases a line from the ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' in the finale.

66	[[folder:Episode 2]]
67	* When they first meet, Mr. Ral gets up in Sekai's face and says "You have good eyes", recalling the episode of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' where Amuro encountered Ramba Ral in a desert town. However, Fumina tells him to knock it off before he can do the whole speech, to Ral's displeasure.
68	* The Gunpla in Yuuma's flashback is a heavily customized Hydra Gundam from the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' spin-off manga ''G-Unit''[[note]]released in America as ''The Last Outpost'' to avoid legal conflicts with the rap group of the same name lead by Music/FiftyCent[[/note]], with parts of other After Colony Gundams tacked on (including Deathscythe Hell EW's bat wings, Sandrock Kai EW's cloak, and Nataku's dragon fangs), plus [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Throne Zwei/Arche Gundam's]] GN fangs.
69	** In that same battle, Yuuma's Gunpla is the Gundam Airmaster from ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'', with leg missile pods borrowed from its frequent partner Gundam Leopard.
70	* The symbol of the ''Jigen-Haou-Ryu'', as seen on Sekai's dogi, is a ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam hand grasping for victory.]]''
71	* Eri Shinoda's Gunpla is a Hobby Hizack from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' armed with the long-range beam launcher of the Hizack Custom from ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.
72	* During the battle, Daiki brings out his Enact's secret weapon -- the Agrissa mobile armor from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', foreshadowed by the fact that the Enact is partly based on Ali al-Saachez's Enact Custom.
73	** The Agrissa is destroyed in the same manner with one shot from a beam rifle.
74	** While Fuuma's RGM-79C Powered GM is caught in Agrissa's electric shock, Fuuma starts monologuing complete with flashbacks to her childhood, very similar to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna when he was caught in the same situation against the same mobile armor.]] Her GM trying to reach to the Agrissa while its being electrocuted is also a MythologyGag to that.
75	* Sekai talks about understanding Yuuma through his fists, which was pretty much Domon's philosophy throughout ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''.
76	* Visually, Daiki and Eri are almost a complete match for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Obright and Remy]].
77	* Speaking of [[{{Meganekko}} Eri]], the way she wears ScaryShinyGlasses until [[TheGlassesComeOff she takes them off]] and [[LettingHerHairDown lets her hair down]] is also reminiscent of [[Characters/MobileSuitGundamWing Lady Une]].
78	* Yuuma's last line in the Preview of Episode 3 "They call her Gyanko, but she doesn't use a Gyan?!" is a copy of [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Meijin Kawaguchi's]] comment on the Sengoku Astray using a Chinese martial arts technique.
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Episode 3]]
82	* At the start of the episode, Sekai's letter asks his master if he's still training in Guiana, which was where Domon went to train in G Gundam.
83	* The Mock Fumina destroys in the in the training battle is equiped the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ ZZ Gundam]]'s High Mega Cannon.
84	* Ral comments that Yuuma's Lightning Gundam [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack isn't just for show]]. Bonus points for the Lightning being based off the [=Re-GZ=], which was Amuro's first unit in the movie.
85	* Team Song Dynasty Vase uses the Black Tri-Stars' "Jet Stream Attack" from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
86	* Kaoruko's team is named after the favorite vase of M'Quve, the original Gyan pilot from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
87	** And the other two Mobile Suits used in the team is a [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Rising Gundam and a Nobel Gundam.]] But both are equipped with the weapons of the Rising Gundam (Bow and Naginata)
88	* The St Odessa Gunpla clubroom is patterned after Riddhe Marcenas' mansion in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn''.
89	* Build Burning Gundam's Senpu Tatsumaki-Geri is like the God Slash Typhoon.
90	[[/folder]]
91
92	[[folder:Episode 4]]
93	* When describing Gyanko's loss, Team SRC states "So Gyanko of Odessa has fallen to earth." This jokingly refers to the Battle of Odessa of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One Year War]] which ends with the Earth Federation taking the Zeon's major resource center in Odessa, controlled by none other than M'Quve.
94	* When Fuumina talk to Ral, there's a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Gundam Wing Zero Custom]] poster in the background (the ''Gundam The Movie'' poster to be exact).
95	** Ral suggest Fumina use a [[Franchise/GundamExpandedUniverse Blue Destiny]] or [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam Gundam Ground Type]].
96	* In G-Muse park there's a lifesize [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Unicorn Gundam]] bust with an open cockpit.
97	* The Bearguy that Mirai hides behind wears a ribbon just like China's [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Bearguy III]].
98	* Various flags from [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Neo Zeon, A.E.U.G. , Axis Zeon]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack London Bell]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam E.F.S.F]].
99	* Fuumina is indecisive in choosing [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-01 Zephyranthes]] or [[Franchise/GundamExpandedUniverse GM Thunderbolt]].
100	* In the ''Franchise/SDGundam'' section of the store, there are Nidaime Gundam Daishogun and [[Anime/SDGundamGaiden SD Knight Gundam]] kits.
101	* Minato builds a MG [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Quin Mantha]] for G-Muse.
102	* Minato wears a necklace featuring a metal EFSF (Earth Federation Space Force) logo.
103	* Sekai makes a Musha Godmaru from ''Shin SD Sengokuden Chou Kidou Daishogun Hen''.
104	* Minato uses a Kouki Gundam to fight Sekai.
105	* There's a poster from [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow]] in the food court Yuuma and Mirai go to.
106	* You can see the ''Toyota'' MS-186H-CA Auris in G-Muse.
107	* The episode includes suit cameos from:
108	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Providence Gundam, Calamity Gundam, Akatsuki Gundam]],
109	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Freedom Gundam, Justice Gundam, Forbidden Gundam, Alie Strike Gundam]]
110	** [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam Double X, Gundam Airmaster, Gundam X-Divider]]
111	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 00 Raiser]]
112	* Sekai being defeated by Minato, which drives Sekai to more training, mirrors Domon's first encounter and defeat by Master Asia in ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''.
113	* The way Minato speed-builds the Kouki Gundam is taken from ''Plamo-Kyoshiro''.
114	[[/folder]]
115
116	[[folder:Episode 5]]
117	* In the scene where Yuuma and Ral are talking in the club room, there's a poster for an RX-79[G] Ground Gundam from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam''.
118	* Team Angelfish from Chusui Middle School uses the Zock, Hygogg and Z'Gok, all marine mobile suits from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
119	* [[http://i.imgur.com/RA6N1n8.jpg Three girls]] from ''Anime/TheBraveFighterOfLegendDaGarn'' are a team at the prelims.
120	* Team Gaia Dragon, that Team Try Fighters fight, pilot [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 GN-X]]s colored and armed like the three main mechs from ''Anime/MadoKingGranzort''.
121	* The Build Burning Gundam using energy platforms to propel itself is similar to [[Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator Valvrave IV Hinowa's Multi-Leg Spine System]].
122	* The episode includes suit cameos from:
123	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDCE73Stargazer Strike Noir Gundam, Stargazer Gundam]]

132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Episode 6]]
135	* The Ez-SR Intruder, Ez-SR Eliminator, and Ez-SR Shadow Phantom are all [=The RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8=] units from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'', customized to match the three main units in ''Anime/MetalArmorDragonar'': A high-mobility general purpose unit, an artillery unit, and a recon unit with a sensor dome.
136	* The battlefield is the forest Wu Fei used as a hideout early on in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
137	* Winning Gundam transforms into a giant gold fist to combine with another mech, a la Goldymarg from Sunrise's ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''.
138	[[/folder]]
139
140	[[folder:Episode 7]]
141	* The Tundra battlefield in the opening is where Wing Gundam and Tallgeese had their second match in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
142	* Team Babylonia from the Aristocracy Department of Cosmo Academy are a nod to Cosmo Babylonia from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91''.
143	** Naturally, the team all uses F-91 era Crossbone Vanguard mobile suits, the Berga Dalas, Den'an Gei and Den'an Zon.
144	* Shimon's Joto Middle School team is called Team [=FAITH=], and the three mobile suits they use - Murasame, Destiny Gundam, Jet Striker Windam - are nods to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny''.
145	* The island battlefield is an undeveloped version of the Orb Union from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny''.
146	* In TheStinger, Meguta Yasu's Zeo Zeong uses a Neo Zeong from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' as its base but with the head and the colors of the original Zeong from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
147	* Shimon's desperate last-ditch attack on the Build Burning references back to ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray'' when Lowe used to same technique to drive away the Astray Gold Frame, destroying the Astray Red Frame's arm.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Episode 8]]
151	* The winning Gunpla in Minato's dream is a ZZZ Gundam / Gundam Try Zeta from the ''Gundam Try AGE'' arcade game.
152	* Team G-Master has: Amethyst V Gundam, an [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam V Gundam]] with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny B Sword backpack]], a blue customized [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Hyaku-Shiki]] called Mega-Shiki and G-Bomber, an customized [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam G-Fighter]].
153	* Gyanko's defeat (which involves her falling with tears in a psychedelic background) was almost a blatant ripoff of Four Murasame's death in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta]]''.
154	* In turn, the angle by which the Mega-Shiki is shown after slicing the R-[=GyaGya=] to pieces recalls the first battle of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam RX-78-2 Gundam]] [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101104063700/gundam/images/c/c4/Rx-78-2-morishita.jpg after slicing a Zaku in half]].
155	* Akira's G-Fighter acts like a Grapple Ship from the anime ''Anime/OutlawStar''.
156	[[/folder]]
157
158	[[folder:Episode 9]]
159	* Mega-Shiki ends up with the same damage by the end of the match that it's basis, Hyaku-Shiki, suffered in the finale of ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.
160	* The battlefield is Solomon, the [[SpaceStation space fortress]] that appeared in the final episodes of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
161	* Akira slaps Yomi in the same way Sleggar slapped Mirai in Anime/MobileSuitGundam.
162	* The rockets that Akira's G-Bomber used to attack Build Burning with are the same rockets that the Big Zam used to kill Sleggar in Anime/MobileSuitGundam.
163	* The top half of the Amethyst Victory Gundam combining with the bottom half of the G-Bomber is homage to the RX-78-2 Gundam combining with the G-Fighter's B-Parts.
164	[[/folder]]
165
166	[[folder:Episode 10]]
167	* Taku. A dark-skinned blonde like Loran Cehack was, uses a black Anime/TurnAGundam.
168	** When crossing the lake, he uses its shield like a surfboard, similar to how the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Gundam Maxter]] can use its shield to do so.
169	* Taku's group is called "SGOCK III", which soulds similar to Z'Gok, a mobile suit from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
170	* "[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Show us your tears of time!]]"
171	* Yuuma's fantasy sequence about having dates with Mirai eventually caps off with them [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam wearing Kamille Bidan's and Four Murasame's clothing (respectively)]], [[BirdsOfAFeather in that iconic scene where they were bonding with each other]].
172	* Sekai says that his sister is "not for show", similar to how Amuro says that the Nu Gundam is also "not for show" in ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char's Counterattack]]''.
173	* Petitgguy tripping over a rock just as it hits the finish line; the same thing happened to China in Episode 9 of ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' during her training montage.

176	** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Zebra Gundam, Gundam Rose]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Nadleeh]]
177	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gaga]]
178	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Elmeth, Char's Gelgoog]]
179	** SD FA Gundam Mk II, SD Unicorn's third form
180	** GM Trainer, a pink [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Shenlong Gundam]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Gundam NT-1 Alex]]
181	* Mihoshi, now a Hollywood star, sports a hairstyle similar to [[Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator Saki Rukino]] and wears a single star-shaped hairclip just like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Meer Campbell]].
182	* One of the establishments along the beach is the "Yazan Gable Beach House Hambrabi". This is obviously named after Yazan Gable, one of the antagonists from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Z Gundam]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ ZZ Gundam]]'', who's trademark mobile suit was the Hambrabi.
183	** One of the other shops is named "[=McDaniels=]", which is the name of the BlandNameProduct burger chain from the ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Z Gundam]]''.
184	[[/folder]]
185
186	[[folder:Episode 11]]
187	* On their way to the Nielsen Labs, Fumina and Sekai sing "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Anime Janai]]."

189	* Yuuma's confused cry of "Impossible! Fangs can't do that!" mimics Gyunei Guss' comment about Nu Gundam's Fin Funnels in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack''.
190	* [[spoiler: Meijin Kawaguchi]] enters the field with his [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 gunpla (which is based on the original Gundam) descending from the heavens]], spotlighted by the sun, causing the battle to stop.
191	** And later, Yuuma's reaction to that is similar to Setsuna's, by just staring with awe at the descending Gunpla and muttering a single word "Gunpla."
192	[[/folder]]
193
194	[[folder:Episode 12]]
195	* Yuuma's upset bailing and [[spoiler:Meijin]] aiding him in finding his drive again mimics the meeting between Kou Uraki and Kelly Layzner in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory''.
196	* [[spoiler:Meijin Kawaguchi's]] 3-time winning streak mimics Gentle Chapman's 3-time winning streak in ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''. It's also possible that this winning streak lead to changes within the combat scheme, similar to what almost happened in ''G Gundam'''s backstory.
197	* [[spoiler:Meijin]] piloting Lightining Gundam as a Char Aznable {{Expy}} he gives one [[FanNickname Char Kick]] in [[spoiler:Yuuma]] Amazing Red Warrior.
198	* During the battle against [[spoiler:Lady Kawaguchi]]'s Devil Dragon Blade Zero Gundam, the Winning Gundam used some weapons for the first time. These are the Beam Bow Gun, which resembles [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Crossbone Gundam X-1 Skull Heart's Peacock Smasher]] or looks like a crossbow version of [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Rising Gundam's Beam Bow/Rising Arrow]] and the Radome Shield/Buzzsaw, which looks like and functions similarly to [[Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator Valvrave IV Hinowa's Spindle Knuckles]] but without the AttackDrone ability. Additionally, it can also project a beam saber from its beam rifle, similar to the [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]].
199	* Yuuma refers to the Gunpla Battle controls as "arm rakers", which is the name for the spherical MS controls seen in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack''.
200	[[/folder]]
201
202	[[folder:Episode 13]]
203	* Kei Karima uses a GN-006 Cherudim Gundam from ''Gundam 00''.
204	* Wilfred Kajima's Transient Gundam is a mix of the [[http://i.imgur.com/DuOV9WD.jpg prototype design]] for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Exia]] and the abilities / looks of Anime/TekkamanBlade.
205
206	[[/folder]]
207
208	[[folder:Episode 14]]
209	* Lucas Nemesis uses a Jegan from ''Char's Counterattack'' to demonstrate his skills.
210	** It's also a callback to Ayla Jyrkiainen from the original ''[[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Build Fighters]]'' who's team was sponsored by Lucas' grandfather. During her first tryout, she also used a Jegan.
211	* The team name of Minato's opponents in the final round of the Osaka preliminaries is [[Anime/TigerAndBunny Tiger & Rabbit]].
212	* Team Build Buster's Gundam Trion 3 is a modified Gundam Try Zeta from ''Gundam Try Age'' game.
213	* Gyanko's "Build Burning can fight for another 10 years." is a paraphrase of one of M'quve's lines from ''Mobile Suit Gundam''.
214	* The academy Lucas enrolls in Japan is called Granada, named after the lunar city in the original ''Mobile Suit Gundam''.
215	[[/folder]]
216
217	[[folder:Episode 15]]
218	* The LGZ-91-Fb Lightning Gundam Full Vernian is a nod to the RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyrantes" Full Vernian.
219	* Mirai's explosion of hearts reuses animation from the Trans-Am Burst from season 2, Episode 24 of ''Gundam 00''. The beam rifle firing sound effect from the early ''Gundam'' series also plays when the explosion starts.
220	* Gunpla used by other teams in this episode include.
221	** [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam RX-110 Gabthley]]
222	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 GN-003 Kyrios]]

262	* Minato and Team Build Busters' Tryon 3 is based on the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ MSZ-10 ZZ Gundam]]. However, the leonine face on its chest as well at the way it combines is a ShoutOut to ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''. "Let's Try On!" is a reference to ''Anime/VoltesV''.
263	** And of course, the first attack it does, is a [[RocketPunch Rocket]] [[Anime/MazingerZ Punch]].
264	** Yuuma's analysis of the Tryon 3 and its flaws, including the fact that the complex combination mechanism serving no purpose and compromises the MS structural integrity is the same problem that plagued the ZZ Gundam.
265	** The Tryon 3 is also based on the Try Zeta from the arcade game ''Gundam Try Age''; in fact, it's nearly identical, but adds the combination gimmick (and the resulting KibblesAndBits, such as the body of Riku Tryon replacing the ZZ's original backpack).
266	* Two girls in the audience are wearing [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Lacus]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Meer's]] hair decorations.
267	* Honmoku Academy's team uses a modified [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Vagan Gear]].
268	* Shia's G-Portent is based on the [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer GNW-100A Sakibure]].
269	** And her team is named '''Team Celestial Sphere''', homage to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Celestial Being and Earth Sphere Federation]].
270	* Lucas Nemesis' gunpla, seen during TheStinger is a modified [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam XM-X1 Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai-Kai Skull Heart "Full Cloth"]].
271	* Other Gunpla used by other teams include:
272	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing OZ-13MSX1 Vayeate, OZ-13MSX2 Mercurius]]
273	** MS-08TX[EXAM] Efreet Custom wielding the [[Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray Astray Blue Frame]]'s [[{{BFS}} Tactical Arms II]].
274	** [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam MS-14J ReGelgu]]
275	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket MSM-03C Hygogg]]
276	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory RGM-79Q GM Quell]]
277	** [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam GF13-021NG Gundam Spiegel]]
278	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ RGM-86R GM III]]
279	** [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX GT-9600-D Gundam Leopard Destroy]]
280	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 GN-009 Seraphim Gundam, Fanton]]
281	[[/folder]]
282
283	[[folder:Episode 17]]
284	* When Gyanko see's Shia talking to Sekai, she experiences a "newtype reaction" similar to that seen in the UC series.
285	** Additionally, her quote about "level 1 battle stations" is a reference to a phrase commonly uttered by ship captains in other Gundam shows.
286	* Among the statues in the haunted castle, we can see the ff. SD gunpla.
287	** Superior Lander
288	** Tyrano Zaku
289	** Indy Gundam
290	** Psycho Golem
291	* The explosives used by Team SD-R are from the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket MS-18 Kampfer]]
292	[[/folder]]
293
294	[[folder:Episode 18]]
295	* The Star Winning Gundam's [[WaveMotionGun Winning Beam]] creates a perfect, W shaped hole in the [=SxDxG=] Gundam, similar to how the [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam God Gundam]]'s "[[KamehameHadoken Sekiha, Love-Love Tenkyou Ken]]" creates a heart shaped hole in the Devil Gundam.
296	* The Star Winning's ability to transform from an SD into a HD Gundam is similar to that of the Tekki-Musya Haganemaru-Go from ''[[Anime/ModelSuitGunplaBuildersBeginningG Gunpla Builders Beginning J]]''.
297	* Other gunpla seen in this episode include.
298	** [[Anime/TurnAGundam Eagail]]
299	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Geze, Geymalk]]
300	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Dom Tropen, Gelgoog Marine]]
301	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Zaku II Char Custom]]
302	** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket Gundam NT-1 "Alex"]]
303	** Ikazuchi Gundam, Houou Gundam, Neo Alex Gundam
304	[[/folder]]
305
306	[[folder:Episode 19]]
307	* Tryon 3 fights an [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Psycho Gundam]] with [[Anime/GaoGaiGar King J-Der]] motif
308	* Team Celestial Sphere fights [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Justice Gundam with Freedom Gundam colors]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Döven Wolf]] with Gundam MKII Colors.
309	* Team Titan uses [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam Abulhool]] Plus, an modified [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Gunblaster + V-Dash backpack]] and Denial Gundam combine [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz Gundam Deathscythe Hell]] body and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE Gundam Age FX]] arms and head he can use [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Nobel Gundam]] Beserker Mode with same capacities from beam cloth from Master Gundam.
310	[[/folder]]
311
312	[[folder:Episode 20]]
313	* A number of ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' references:
314	** Junya uses his energy ponytail to mimic Master Asia's Master Cloth weapon.
315	** Sekai uses both Bushin Sapou God Shadow and Erupting God Finger to finish Junya, complete with a power crest manifesting on his Gundam's chest.
316	** Sekai gaining a new SuperMode mirrors that of Domon's. Both had previous attained a "false" SuperMode that was derived from anger/aggression and later gained a "true" SuperMode attained from a serene, tranquil state of mind.
317	* Lucas uses the Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth from ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam''.
318	* Saga says: ''He's the European champ all right. It's not just for show. [[note]]The dialogue from Amuro Ray refering to Nu-Gundam[[/note]] He's strong enough to push back [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Axis]]''.
319	[[/folder]]
320
321	[[folder:Episode 21]]
322	* [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Rainer Cziommer]] is mentioned as an analyst for the tournament.
323	** True to form, the camera cuts away right before his segment. Even after 7 years, the series is still treating him as a ButtMonkey.
324	* Lucas' teammates in Team Von Braun use custom [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Geara Doga]]'s.
325	** Both their team name, Von Braun, and the name of their school, Granada Academy, are references to two cities on the moon from the original Universal Century timeline established by ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' and its sequels.
326	* The G-Portent contains [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Haro repair bots]] that Shia uses to repair the damage that Lucas did to it.
327	* Transient Gundam's SuperMode releases particles in the form of the [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Wings of Light]].
328	** It also takes on the form of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Celestial Being logo]].
329	[[/folder]]
330
331	[[folder:Episode 22]]
332	* Star Winnning Gundam uses the funnels in shield-like form like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu-Gundam]].
333	* When the Tryon 3 pulls out its [[{{BFS}} Minovsky Chohoken]], it goes into the "[[AssKickingPose Obari Sword Pose]]" that is a trademark of mecha that have been worked on by Creator/MasamiObari (such as the Tryon 3).
334	* Its finishing move resembles the Anime/VoltesV 's Choudenji Ball and V-no-Jigiri.
335	* Tryon 3's combination also resembles Variable Formation (the [=SRX=] combination) from VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration.
336	[[/folder]]
337
338	[[folder:Episode 24]]
339	* The match begins in dead quiet as Team Try Fighters opt to break into the space colony, complete with Sekai's Try Burning having to make several turns to an airlock handle. This is pulled from the very first episode of the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', a scene that's been homaged dozens of times, and the AbnormalLimbRotationRange was something added to them.
340	[[/folder]]
341
342	[[folder:Episode 25]]
343	* Meijin Kawaguchi the 3rd and Lady Kawaguchi finish their exhibition bout - both them and the Kampfer and Zaku Amazing - doing the end pose of [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam The School of the Undefeated of the East]].
344	* The Dom is the mobile suit Ramba Ral had requisitioned, and was denied, before his final attack on ''White Base'' in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
345	* Like last season, here we learn that the starring Sazaki sibling has an even younger sibling. When the fact that still one more is mentioned, the Sazakis are compared to the Zabis.
346	* The three {{Contest Winner Cameo}}s are a Unicorn Gundam in RX-78-2 colors (winner of the custom color contest), a [=GP01=] Zephyranthes with the Albion as a weapon pack (winner of the custom model contest), a kitbash made to look like Char Aznable using a Sazabi's head, the Sinanju's torso, a GN-XIII's lance, and the rest of it from the RGM-79 GM (winner of the ''Gundam Breaker 2'' contest).
347	* The Kamiki Burning Gundam's SuperMode emits six flame wings and a halo akin to the God Gundam, [[spoiler: foreshadowing the identity of his master]].
348	* The shot of the three members of Team Try Fighters flying off into space is quite similar to the final shot of ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'' where Domon and Rain do the same.
349	[[/folder]]
350
351	[[folder:Island Wars OVA]]
352	* Fumina, Gyanko and Shia share a Newtype moment when they argue over who Sekai should end up with.
353	* The way the Plavsky Crystal goes out of control and spreads throughout the laboratory building is almost similar to [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer ELS assimilation]] (thankfully, minus the BodyHorror part).
354	* The Brown Pucchiguy gets a lucky popsicle stick that transforms into a gold-colored [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Gundam Barbatos' mace]].
355	** Also, the Build Fighter series' first reference to the Post Disaster Era. This leaves the [[Anime/GundamReconguistaInG Regild Century]] the only timeline in the Build Fighters anime series yet to be referenced.
356	* Minato shows off a Super Fumina in [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Titans]] colors and promptly gets decked for his trouble.
357	* Nils comes out to the island in a ''full-scale'' and working [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Fanfan]] hovercraft-helicopter hybrid.
358	* Mirai snatches the fins from a Nether Gundam with her Beargguy P, and together with Fumina's Star Winning Gundam perform a CombinationAttack by throwing their boomerangs and posing, something straight out of [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Celestial Being the Movie]].
359	* Minato's ZZII stabs the Psycho Gundam in the head mega particle cannon, [[spoiler: just like how Jerid killed Four in Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam]].
360	* The Scramble Gundam summons ''Celestial Being'', a Colony Laser (either the Gryps Laser from ''Zeta'' and ''Unicorn'' or the one from ''X''), and the Photon Ring Array (and ''Diva'') from Gundam AGE for a combined beam attack, and later attempts a ColonyDrop on Sekai's group.
361	** Not just any ColonyDrop (which is a common occurrence in the franchise) either. It's the ''original'' Colony Drop on Sydney i.e. Operation British from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''.
362	* The final CombinationAttack looks like it could have been done in ''Manga/SaintSeiya'', but it was done first in the climax of ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.
363	* The emblem in the middle of the circle that summoned [[spoiler: Superior Kaiser]] is [[Toys/NewTestamentSDGundamGaidenSaddracKnightSaga Knight Unicorn Gundam and Black Knight Banshee's]] Akashic Binder emblem.
364	* Finally, the particle disturbance was due to [[spoiler: interference with another, genuine Arista device. Its holder wanted to have a Gunpla of her very own, and she does during the end credits. After the credits, she vanishes, and runs to the arms of [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters a familiar woman...]]]]
365	[[/folder]]
366
367	[[folder:Lookalikes]]
368	* Sekai Kamiki is basically a younger Takeru Nekki from ''Gunpla Builders Beginning J''. No coincidence that the Beginning J is the one customised for close combat.
369	* Akira Suga is a dead ringer for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Sleggar Law]].
370	** In fact his entrance at the end of the episode parallels Sleggar Law's entrance to the White Base Crew. And then he doffs his jacket and you realise his shirt is the same Federation tan.
371	** And not only does Allan Adams call him "a Sleggar", but he also gives a [[GetAHoldOfYourselfWoman bright slap]] to Yomi in Episode 9. He basically ''is'' Sleggar's reincarnation.
372	** Not to mention his Gunpla of choice is revealed to be non other than a ''G Fighter''!
373	** His in-universe nickname is "Speedy Sleggar".
374	* The women in Minato's dream in Episode 8 include: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Cima Garahau]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Kati Mannequin]], [[Anime/TurnAGundam Laura Rolla (Loran Cehack in drag)]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kikka Kobayashi]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Nina Purpleton]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDCE73Stargazer Mudie Holcraft]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Aisha Kati]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDCE73Stargazer Selene [=McGriff=]]], [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Ennil El]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Dorothy Catalonia]], and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Chara Soon]]. [[Anime/GundamBuildFighters Master Chinan]] even appears alongside them.
375	* Shuunsuke Sudou is basically Orba Frost in looks, albeit without the personality.
376	* One of the models in Episode 10's Gunpla Collection fashion show is [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Lalah Sune]], carrying an MS-14S Gelgoog Commander-type in Char's colors, and a handbag shaped like the Elmeth, Lalah's mobile armor.
377	** Another model a look-alike of Neneka Nibrou, one of the "Bikini Babe Assault" girls sent to attack Uso Evin in one of the final episodes in ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam''.
378	* Lady Kawaguchi is a dead ringer for Tekken 5's Lili.
379	* [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Ikeda]] is a member of the TV crew in episode 18.
380	* During Sakai's [[http://s27.postimg.org/6f3a25hlv/judau_lookalike_gbf_try_ep_22.jpg flashback]], the person who presented Yuuma's award in the Under-13 Championships looks like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau Ashta]].
381	* Susumu and Kaoruko's younger brother is a dead ringer in both looks and attitude to the former, though he's more gracious like the latter, recognizing Mamoru as a worthy rival.
382	* Sekai and Junya's master is, as everyone [[IKnewIt already guessed]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]].
383	* The presenter for the opening of the G-Quest attraction in ''Battlogue'' is a dead ringer for Maureen Kitamura, from the ''[[Franchise/GundamExpandedUniverse Blue Destiny]]'' games. It's unclear whether this is her Build Fighters universe equivalent, in the same vein as [[spoiler:Domon]], or just a cosplayer.
384	[[/folder]]
385
386	[[folder:Soundtrack]]
387	As with the previous series, many of the song titles on the show's soundtrack are quotes or other references to previous ''Gundam'' shows:
388	* OST 1:
389	** Track 2 "Clear and Serene"[[note]]"''Meikyo Shisui''"[[/note]] is the name of the TranquilFury technique [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]] learns. Naturally, it's used for Sekai's moments of ass-kicking, which are preceded by him focusing in a similar manner, complete with the image of ripples on the surface of water.
390	** Track 6 "Your Panel Lining is Weak! What are You Doing?!" is a play on one of Bright Noah's iconic quotes ("That barrage is weak! What are you doing?!")
391	** Track 8 "Sure-Kill Sure-Hit!"[[note]]"''Hissatsu Hicchu!''"[[/note]] is what [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Rain Mikamura]] says before using the Rising Arrow.
392	** Track 10 "This Hand of Mine Shines and Roars!" is of course the first part of Domon's Shining Finger attack speech.
393	** Track 12 "The Finisher! Top Coat!"[[note]]"''Hissatsu!'' Top Coat!"[[/note]] is a play on the ''last'' part of the Shining Finger speech.
394	** Track 14 "Out of the Way, You Cannon Fodder Mecha!" is a quote said by Paula Sis in ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX''.
395	** Track 15 "Go Down, Mantis!"[[note]]"''Ochiro, Kamakiri!''"[[/note]] is a play on [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Paptimus Scirocco's]] famous quote "Go down, string bean!"
396	** Track 16 "Unsnipeable Melancholy"[[note]]"''Nerai Uchinai Yuutsu''"[[/note]] is a play on [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Lockon Stratos']] CatchPhrase "Sniping the target!"
397	** Track 17 "You're My Favorite, Boy!" is a line said by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Chara Soon]] to Judau Ashta.
398	** Track 19 "War in the Plaket"[[note]]A {{Portmanteau}} of "Plamo" and "Market"[[/note]] is a nod to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket''[='s=] sub-title.
399	** Track 22 "Shame on You, Philestine!" is a play on one of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Haman Karn]]'s iconic lines.
400	** Track 23 "I'll Correct That Kind of Gunpla!" is a play on one of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille Bidan]]'s iconic lines, "I'll correct that kind of adult!"
401	** Track 24 "Hahahahaha! One More to Go!" is what Heero Yuy said after taking down Zechs Merquise's wingmen in the first episode of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
402	** Track 25 "Hurry Up and Be Next Wednesday!" may be a play on [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Dorothy Catalonia's]] famous quote "Hurry up and start a war!"
403	** Track 26 "The Stupid Pupil of the Twilight" uses [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Master Asia's]] insulting name for Domon in later parts of ''G Gundam''.
404	* OST 2:
405	** Track 6, "I Won't Forget That You Loved Me..." is a {{Spoiler}}ous quote from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'', [[spoiler:said by Roux Louka just before she kills Glemmy Toto.]]
406	** Track 10, "I'll Fight Until the Flesh is Stripped From My Bones" is another Spoiler from ''ZZ'', [[spoiler:said by Mashmyre Cello before he [[SuperPowerMeltdown overloads his Cyber-Newtype powers]] and takes out Rakan Dakran's Dooben-Wolf squadron.]]
407	** Track 12, "Fight. In the Name of the God You Believe In." was said by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna F. Seiei]] to Marina Ismail.
408	** Track 17, "There's Always Friendly Fire On the Battlefield" is said by [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Olba Frost]] as he and his brother [[UnfriendlyFire kill off an allied Newtype]].
409	** Track 18, "My Mount is Fierce" is a memetic line said by [[Series/AfterWarGundamX Shagia Frost]] in reference to his Gundam Virsago (and, subsequently, is the title of ''Gundam X'' episode 3).
410	** Track 20, "I'll Tell You One Thing...Dying Hurts Like Hell" was said by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] when Trowa Barton was considering following Heero's example and [[SelfDestructMechanism self-destructing]] his Gundam.
411	** Track 21, "Buppigan", is probably the most obscure reference of all; it's apparently the {{Onomatopoeia}} for [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Sandrock]] [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks throwing its heat shotels]].
412	[[/folder]]
413
414	[[folder:Unsorted]]
415	* The "7 years later, a new group of teenagers take up the mantle of the previous protagonists" setup of ''Try'' is the same premise as the very first ''Gundam'' sequel, ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''.
416	* The colors of the three main suits, Red for Sekai's Build Burning Gundam, Yellow for Fumina's Powered GM Cardigan and Winning Gundam, Blue for Yuuma's Lightning Gundam are the colors most often seen in the lead suits of most Gundam shows.
417	** In addition, the colors, mentality and dynamics of the cast really match up with the PowerTrio of ''{{Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger}}''. Sekai is Unbreakable Body (Jan), Fumina is Honest Heart (Ran), and Yuuma is Fantastic Technique (Retsu).
418	* Meijin Kawaguchi (aka Tatsuya Yuuki) has won the World Gunpla Battle Championship three times in a row, reminiscent of how [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Gentle Chapman won three consecutive Gundam Fight championships]].
419	* Suits:
420	** Kaoruko Sazaki uses a combo of the R-Jarja from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ'' and the Gyan from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' called the "R-[=GyaGya=]", with clear inspiration from her brother Susumu's Gyan Vulcan.
421	** Mirai Kamiki's Bearguy F is yet another customized Acguy from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', and have an other unit in backpack called "Puchigguy" identical the system from [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Seravee Gundam & Seraphim Gundam]].
422	* Sekai's master dresses like Domon Kasshu from ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam''. [[spoiler:He is eventually revealed to ''actually be'' Domon.]]
423	* The emblem for the Jigen Haoh school of kenpo is the Shining Finger.
424	* The "Meijin Gunpla" shown in the first opening is a custom PF-78-3 Perfect Gundam III "Red Warrior" from ''Plamo-Kyoshiro''.
425	* The sound effect used for the rifle of Yuuma's Lightning Gundam isn't the traditional Gundam beam rifle sound, but the one that was used for ''Zeta'', ''Double Zeta'' and ''Char's Counterattack''.
426	* The Star Winning Gundam's abilty to transform from SuperDeformed to a real scale suit is similar to the Tekki-Musya Haganemaru-Go from the photo novel ''[[Anime/ModelSuitGunplaBuildersBeginningG Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning J]]''.
427	* The full scale (1:1) [[http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/File:1-1_Hi-Mock.png green Hi-Mock]] seen powered down at Yajima Trading is in the [[http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig06/10065441a4.jpg exact same power-down position]] as ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms''' Scopedogs. No surprise, since both shows were made by Sunrise.
428	* In the side manga, Tatsuya[=/=]Meijin creates a customized version of the Scramble Gundam from ''Island Wars'' named the Hot Scramble Gundam. The design was made to [[MilestoneCelebration celebrate]] the 30th anniversary of ''Gundam'' video games, being named after and inspired by "Zeta Gundam: Hot Scramble", the first ''Gundam'' game ever made. As a result the Hot Scramble appeared in multiple video games released in 2016, including ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration Genesis''[[note]]Despite that game being exclusively focused on the Universal Century, aside from {{Guest Fighter}}s like Hot Scramble and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans Barbatos Lupus]][[/note]] and ''[[VideoGame/GundamVsSeries Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost ON]]''[[note]]making it the first ''Build Fighters'' representative in the Vs games[[/note]].
429	** There's also its model number, BN-876β, which references Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment, the current rights-holders for ''Gundam'' video games (876 in [[GoroawaseNumber Goroawase]] is "[=BaNaMu=]").
