Julian Ayers Mackenzie

Julian Mackenzie is a minor character in Gundam Build Fighters.

History
Originally from Manchester, England, Julian was one of Tatsuya Yuki's classmates at the Gunpla Academy. He originally enrolled at the age of 15, and within four months had become the head of the class. By age 18 he had accrued an unofficial record of 204 wins and 3 losses, and was viewed as a potential successor to the second Meijin Kawaguchi. However, after seeing the Meijin's tactics and philosophy, he became disillusioned with the title. he subsequently withdrew from both the academy and Gunpla Battle in general to protect his love of Gunpla.

At the time of the 7th Gunpla Battle World Championship, his grandfather Sir John Ayers Mackenzie was a competitor in the semi-finals of the tournament. Seeking to rekindle Julian's interest in Gunpla Battle, Sir Mackenzie pretended to be dying, and requested Julian take his place in the tournament as his 'dying' wish. In the process, he reunited Julian with the Gunpla he'd used at the academy - the Gundam F91 Imagine.

Julian obliged, and faced his former classmate, now the third Meijin, in Gunpla Battle. As they fought, he demanded Tatsuya show him his ideology and determination. When he found all his attacks were met, and his machine defeated with minimum lasting damage, he accepted Tatsuya as the new Meijin, and admitted he couldn't stay away from Gunpla Battle any longer.
