Later, while watching the 30th Anniversary tribute video, Haru decides to start building the Beginning Gundam. To help him out, Kenta lends Haru a pair of clippers and a modeler's knife to get rid of the excess gate plastic. While Haru is hard at work building, his friend Rina Noyama, an avid fan of Gunpla, stops by to visit. Haru eventually completes the Beginning Gundam and heads to a local model store to participate in a Gunpla Battle.

When the trio arrives at the store, Kenta introduces Haru to the manager of the store. They then enter a Gunpla Battle room for 6 builders. After Haru suits up, another Gunpla Builder and ladies man Koji Matsumoto looks at the Beginning Gundam and is unimpressed by the suit.

Koji then challenges Haru to a Gunpla Battle against his two female companions, Haru suits up and launches in Beginning Gundam from White Base.
