Trivia / Gundam Build Fighters Try

• Actor Allusion: In episode 8, Yomi is seen eating a lollipop. Her voice actress, Iori Nomizu, previously voiced both Febrie and Janie from To Aru Kagaku No Railgun S and the Trademark Favorite Food of the latter two are lollipops.
  • Like the first series, there have been more than a few Creator Allusions to animation director Masami Obari, such as Team SRSC's Ez-8s being Expies of the Dragonar Team or Transient Gundam being based off of Tekkaman Blade
  • Shia's Gundam Portent has a color scheme similar to Miku Hatsune, who is also voiced by Saki Fujita.
• Ascended Fanon: After years of MS Girl fanart and custom figures, we finally have an official Bandai MS girl model kit in the Super Fumina. With three variants (Titans Maid, Axis Angel and Winning Fumina) and two totally new characters (Hyper Gyanko and China Beargguy), the MS Girl subline can qualify as its own thing.
• Contest Winner Cameo: The three winners of a series of Gunpla Making competitions for a custom Gunpla, a recolor, and a custom unit in Gundam Breakers were among the extras who helped to blasted apart the Rafflesia in Episode 25. They are as follows (in order of appearance): A Custom GM with a Sazabi head, a Sinanju torso and a Crosbone Gundam X1 cape titled "Go! Go! Our Captain Char!" (customized to resemble Char's classic outfit from the original series) from Gundam Breaker 2, a Unicorn Gundam recolored to resemble the RX-78 or the Extreme Gundam, and a Custom Gundam Zephyranthes named "Gundam Albion". The Ξ Gundam from Hathaway's Flash also made an appearance as the unit voted to be included in the series.
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: During Build Fighters Try's run on the Singaporean kids' channel Okto, a commercial was made to promote the series, featuring clips from Try... but the narration was reused from the previous series, which describes it as "Sei Iori meets Reiji". This was eventually fixed with a new narration a few weeks later.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: A number of the boys in the series are voiced by women, similar to season 1.
  • The male character Sekai Kamiki is voiced by the female voice actress Kazumi Togashi.
• The Danza: Yuuma Kousaka is voiced by Yuuma Uchida, younger brother of Maaya Uchida.
• Life Imitates Art: After the first episode's surprise appearance of the Build Burning Gundam, Gunpla enthusiasts checked and yes, it is possible, albeit with some customization work, to fit the Build Burning Gundam inside the shell of a Dom. Gunpla stores also had to put up signs saying that the HGUC Dom kit does not come with a bonus Build Burning hidden inside.
• Marth Debuted in "Smash Bros.": Lucas Nemesis' Crossbone Gundam X1 Full Cloth is a rare straight-build Gundam given special focus in the show and made in HG 1/144 for the first time, necessitating the addition of "Type GBFT" to its model name.
• The Other Darrin: Due to a sudden illness, Mr. Ral's voice actor Masashi Hirose will be replaced by Katsuhisa Houki starting in episode 5.
• Word of God: The speculation that the Build Burning Gundam was named in reference to the English dub of G Gundam got shot down in an interview that revealed the Gundam was named by director Watada, who had no idea at the time that "Burning" was God Gundam's US name.
• What Could Have Been: The Winning Gundam went through a lot of changes. It's loadout had various ideas, such as making it a tinier version of the Powered GM Cardigan or something akin to the Super Gundam. It could have also been a Guncannon, a GM that turned into a Ball or even a Guntank that turned into a Gunperry and a Type 71 tank. As well, the power ups for the Build Burning were different, including a shoulder cannon, a claw and a version of the fist that fired out Fumina's Core Fighter.
