侍ノ弐 Sengoku Astray Gundam

The 侍ノ弐 Sengoku Astray Gundam is a mobile suit and a variant of the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame from the anime series Gundam Build Fighters.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Based on the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame that appeared in the Astray series, this Gunpla has some new features like a second katana and a shield attached to its back. It is built by Nils Nielsen, who is familiar with Japanese martial arts. Also, each shoulder is fitted with one additional arm, which looks and acts like a Japanese Samurai shoulder armor. Other than the regular equipment it possesses, the Sengoku Astray has the unique ability to manipulate Plavsky Particles freely, similar to the Gundam X Maoh, but with a different effect. Launching a Sword-Ki(刀氣) attack is possible thanks to particle transformation and this could also be used for defensive purpose too. On full power, the Sengoku Astray can create a big crater on the battlefield while damaging the enemy unit heavily using Plavsky Particles.

History
Sengoku Astray is the prized unit of Nils Nielson, used only in battles he feels that his custom Hyaku Shiki would not succeed in, thus kept mostly a secret. Nils used this Gunpla in the United States Regional Finals Gunpla Tournament to battle previous champion Greco Logan and his prized Tallgeese Valkyrie. The Sengoku Astray displayed great ability as it easily dodged its opponents attacks using minimal movements. Its power was shown to be great as it sliced through the Tallgeese's Full Power Mega Beam Cannon and Beam Saber using only its Katanas. After cutting off several pieces of the Tallgeese Valkyrie, the Sengoku Astray finished it off using a mysterious ability that released a Plavsky particle shock wave capable of damaging anything in its radius including the terrain. Defeating the Tallgeese Valkyrie qualified Nils for the World Tournament.

Trivia
