Tsukasa used one last Break Decal, outfitted onto a [[MA-08 Big Zam]], in a desperate attempt to destroy GBN. This Break Decal revealed one last phase, known as "FINAL", which allowed him to increase the power of the Break Decal through other Break Decal-using Gunpla. With enough Gunpla around, it would be able to amplify its signal to the point where it affected all servers and the Main Database of the game, threatening to crash and delete it completely.

Break Decal refers to unofficial parts in Gundam Build Divers.[1] They are utilized by Mass-Divers to boost their Gunpla's performance in Gunpla Battle Nexus Online.

Description & Characteristics

A Break Decal is an illegal part applied to a Gunpla and contains a nano IC chip. When the Gunpla is scanned during the diving process, the Break Decal's illegal code is read as well. When the Break Decal is activated in GBN, the illegal code will cause the Gunpla's performance to exceed the values assigned by the game's system.[2] Despite the boost in a Gunpla's stats (ie. increased strength, higher armor power, etc), the Gunpla's joints are still weak and vulnerable to attacks.[3][4]

Users of Break Decals are popularly known as Mass-Divers and their presence caused glitches within the GBN system. Example of these glitches include the inability to log out of the game and worse, a non-playable system running amok.[4] The Break Decal can be deactivated by the Mass-Diver.[5]

The GBN's administration are aware of the existence of Break Decals and Mass-Divers, as well as their threat to the game. However, investigations into a Mass-Diver's log data showed no illegality on the player's part, nothing was also found when the Mass-Diver's Gunpla was inspected and the Gunpla's values were also normal when scanned. Furthermore, no abnormalities were detected when the videos of Mass-Divers' victory in battle and the logs of the alleged victims were studied. There are also no records of Break Decal trafficking. As a result, the administration cannot punish a Diver who confessed to be a Mass-Diver due to lack of evidence.[2]

The administration suspected a cover up, or that Break Decal has a self-erasing feature. In addition, it is speculated that since the effects of the Mass-Divers are not in the log data, it could mean that Break Decal does not temporarily manipulate data, rather it directly hacks into the Main Program, the foundation of GBN. The administration are beefing up patrol in response to the issue, but are limited by their available manpower and the vastness of the game.[2] As a result, the only plausible solution is to rely on Divers who encounter Mass-Divers in the game.[1]

The Break Decals are distributed by Tsukasa Shiba towards low tiers and beginners. He later distributed stronger Break Decals that affected entire game event with glitches when activated, and allowed the Gunpla to regenerate after being damaged.[5][6][2] Another enhancement also caused the Gunpla to fight on its own will, ignoring the Diver's control.[6] Unlike the earlier Break Decals, Gunpla with these stronger Break Decals have to be defeated using its own weapons against it, or via attacks that deal severe damage and caused it to explode, forcefully logging the Mass-Divers out.[6][7]

Notes & Trivia

  • The Break Decal and its associated effects, such as increased strength, armor integrity, and the ability to self-repair, may be a reference to the DG Cells from Mobile Fighter G Gundam which also has similar effects on the Mobile Fighters.
