GN-0000DVR/S Gundam 00 Sky

​The GN-0000DVR/S Gundam 00 Sky (ガンダムダブルオースカイ) is a Gunpla appearing in Gundam Build Divers. An upgraded version of the Gundam 00 Diver Ace, it is piloted by Riku Mikami.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
After the 00 Diver Ace was wrecked in Gunpla Duel, Riku carried out a large-scale remodeling, and it was born again as this new Gunpla. Based on Riku's previous experiences as he fought many powerful enemies and journeyed on countless adventures, the concept of this custom build is to add elements of Gundams from other series to the 00 Gundam, mainly the Destiny Gundam's design and capabilities. In the end, the Gunpla gained a system that was far more powerful than expected, and has capabilities that surpassed the boundaries of individual series.

Armaments

 * Vulcan Gun
 * A pair of vulcan guns are mounted in the head, they fire weak beams.


 * Beam Saber
 * A pair of beam sabers are stored behind the front skirt of the 00 Sky and attached to the blue armor piece. Their beam blades' convergence rate have been raised compared to normal ones, increasing their cutting capabilities.


 * Beam Rifle
 * A newly created portable firearm. Although its design is basic compared to the 00 Diver Ace's Super GN Sword II, its firepower and accuracy have been improved by limiting its capabilities. Can be stored on the rear waist armor when not in use.


 * Buster Sword
 * A large sword inspired by the Destiny Gundam's armaments, it has enough power to slice through large mobile armor. Stored on the back of the right Sky Drive Unit, the Buster Sword unfolds when in use and emits a beam blade along its cutting edge.


 * Long Rifle
 * A large firearm with high output, it is another weapon inspired by the Destiny Gundam's armaments. Stored on the back of the left Sky Drive Unit, the Long Rifle unfolds when in use and can be fired with or without its grip being held. The weapons stored behind the two Sky Drive Units can be chosen to be the same depending on the mission.


 * Sky Bracer
 * Gauntlet units equipped on both arms. They can be used in various ways such as in shield mode, where they emit a beam shield each, and multi-claw mode, where the finger parts in the tips unfold to utilize various beams. The Sky Bracer slides forward when in multi-claw mode.


 * Sky Leg Guard
 * Shin guard units equipped on both legs. They can slide downward and generate beam fields for kicking attacks, or to perform a 'Diver Shoot', where the Gunpla directs enemy's beam shot back via a soccer kick. This kick is also utilized for the 'Infinity Shot' combination special move. The Sky Leg Guards can also fire beams for offensive purpose.

Special Equipment & Features

 * Sky Drive Unit
 * Equipment original to this Gunpla, which consisted of a GN Drive with the wing unit of the Destiny Gundam built into it. The wings of light are generated by GN Particles bypassed through the wing unit and can be used as beam blades for offense or as beam shields for defense, aside from propulsion.


 * Trans-Am Infinity
 * A system unique to the 00 Sky, it combines the 00 Gundam's Trans-Am System and Destiny Gundam's Wings of Light. The wing units of the Sky Drive Units accelerate the release rate of highly-concentrated GN Particles during Trans-Am mode, temporarily creating an explosive boost to the Gunpla's capabilities that surpass normal Trans-Am. As with normal Trans-Am, the 00 Sky turns a reddish hue during Trans-Am Infinity.


 * Higher Than Sky Phase
 * The Trans-Am Infinity demonstrates further changes when performing finishing moves which can only be used by Divers who are over Rank C. By raising the circulation speed of highly concentrated GN Particles to the inside of the Gunpla to the limit, it shifts to the 'Higher Than Sky Phase' where the reddish glow effect of Trans-Am Infinity turns to a light blue coloration, with the dark blue parts of its body glowing in a lighter blue.


 * Lash Position
 * 00 Sky's hand-to-hand combat mode, Riku created it prior to his fight with Tigerwolf. In this mode, the 00 Sky’s backpack and shoulder binders are lowered to the waist level, and the blue parts on the feet flips down. These changes solve a weakness of the Gunpla where the shoulder binders limit the machine’s range of motions, and also lower the Gunpla's center of gravity for increased mobility. Although this mode has a drop in power, it enables flexible and speedy maneuvers. It excels in melee battle style that focuses on evasion and consecutive attacks.


 * Heavy Weapon System
 * For the second Coalition of Volunteers battle, Riku gives the Gunpla additional weaponry, granting it the capability and firepower to engage in Gunpla Battle with multiple enemies at once. The Sysytem adds extra armour to the forearms and legs in the form of twin-barrel missile launchers, and a heavy back weapon system with twin Railguns and large missile pods.This final battle form of 00 Sky is known as Gundam 00 Sky HWS (Heavy Weapon System).

Special Attacks

 * Infinity Shot
 * A combination special move with the PEN-01M Momokapool. The Momokapool ejects its Petitkapool, and the 00 Sky kicks it towards the enemy using the Diver Shoot after activating Trans-Am Infinity. The power of the kick combined with the propulsion power of the Petitkapool results in a powerful attack that overwhelmed even the tough armor of the Super Shock Gundam, which is five times stronger than a usual Gunpla's.


 * Finish Move 01
 * A special move invented by Riku during his battle against Tigerwolf's XXXG-01S2龍虎狼 Gundam Jiyan Altron. The 00 Sky in "Higher Than Sky Phase" wraps the Buster Sword with the Wings of Light, transforming the weapon into a large green energy blade with tremendous power. A single strike from this blade is able to overpower Jiyan Altron’s ‘Raijin Thunder’ special move, and causes heavy damage to the stage. However, as the 00 Sky is not yet adjusted to use this move, the backlash from using it cause severe damages to the Gunpla. 'Finish Move 01' is a generic name given by GBN, Riku has yet to name it.

History
After Riku's battle against Tsukasa Shiba, he was lost as to how to rebuild the 00 Diver Ace, and began revisiting GBN locations and talking to the friends he had made through the game. He then revealed to Sarah his wish to hear 00 Diver Ace's 'voice'. When the two held hands and Riku reaches toward the Gunpla with his other hand, he had a mysterious vision that ended in the silhouette of a Gunpla. Inspired, Riku rebuilt the 00 Diver Ace into the Gundam 00 Sky based on the image he saw, with the assistance from the members of his Build Divers force. He retained the chest scar of the 00 Diver Ace, but covered it with a clear piece, to serve as a reminder of his past battles.

Upon accepting Tigerwolf's challenge to fight him in the Ryukosai, Riku modified the 00 Sky to incorporate the new 'Lash Position' for hand-to-hand combat. Mid-battle during the fight with Tigerwolf, Riku created his very own Special Move in desperation, but came up short as his Gunpla wasn't designed to handle the powerful attack.

Notes & Trivia

 * The Sky Bracers' multi-claw mode bear some resemblance to those of the GF13-017NJII God Gundam's gauntlets.
