Sign in to edit

The F9ノ1改(かい) F-Kunoichi Kai (F9ノ1改(かい) F9ノ1改?) is a Gunpla introduced in the Gundam Build Metaverse ONA. It is built and piloted by Aya Fujisawa (Ayame).

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

An SD Gunpla in which the F-Kunoichi that Ayame previously used is recreated with a Cross Silhouette structure.[1] Its equipment has been thoroughly updated, and included parts originating from another of her previous SD Gunpla, the RX-Zeromaru.[1][2] The F-Kunoichi Kai also features shape-shifting abilities that not only complements Ayame's newest "Ayame Ninja Techniques", but also enabled it to remained a mystery for quite some time.[1][2] No one took notice as the Gunpla changes form with ease.[2] At times donning a sporty Light Armor mode, other times disguised with an inconspicuous GM head, and then sometimes adorning the classic SD look and size.[2]

Armaments[]

  • V.S.B.R. Dai Kunai Kai
An improved version of the F-Kunoichi's main weapon, it is modeled after the Gundam F91's main weapon - the V.S.B.R.[2] By changing the position of the handle, this handheld weapon can switch between Dai Kunai mode, which is used for melee combat, and the variable-speed shooting V.S.B.R mode.[2][3] Additionally, due to the reusing of parts from the RX-Zeromaru, the handle itself can generate a high-power beam blade for use as the Shikomi Beam Kunai.[2][3] The F-Kunoichi Kai has in total two V.S.B.R. Dai Kunai Kais, one stored on each side of the backpack when not in use.[2][3]
  • Ninjato
A physical sword carried over from the RX-Zeromaru, it can be used as a beam sword as well, further enhancing its slashing ability.[2] When not in use, it is stored horizontally on the rear waist armor.[2]
  • Beam Shield Dai Shuriken
A large throwable weapon stored on the left forearm, it emits a shuriken-like beam blade.[2][3] This weapon is inspired by the F91's Beam Shield, and can also be used defensively as an arm-mounted shield.[2]

Special Equipment & Features[]

  • Sai-dai-ka-do
A powerful system installed in the F-Kunoichi Kai that is based on the full operating mode of the F91.[2] When activated, this system unleashed all of F-Kunoichi Kai's abilities, and beam shawls used for dissipating heat are also deployed from the shoulders.[2][3] Additionally, the F-Kunoichi Kai dons a face cover that provides efficient ventilation, and transforms from its regular Kunoichi Mode to the combat-use Shinobi Mode.[2][3]

Special Attacks[]

  • Scramble Maneuver
The strongest Ayame Ninja Technique usable by the F-Kunoichi Kai in Shinobi Mode.[2][3] In a mere instant, the Gunpla transforms, creating three "afterimages with mass" that are in the likeness of the Musha Gundam (SD version), Knight Gundam (SD version), and Command Gundam.[2][3] Despite being afterimages, their attacks can deal damage to the enemy.[3] The skill's name reflected the fact that the afterimages strike the enemy in a chaotic scramble.[2] The F-Kunoichi Kai can attack the enemy together with the afterimages[2], or disguised itself as one of them.[3]

F-9ノ1 Concept Art

F-9ノ1 concept art

  • The F-Kunoichi Kai is based on "unofficial" art work of the "F-9ノ1" drawn by Shinya Terashima, a mechanical designer working on Gundam Build Divers​, based on a joke between himself and Build Divers​' director, Shinya Watada. Thinking that the idea was too good to let go to waste, Terashima made art of it which Director Watada is said to have liked, giving it a semi-official status as the Gunpla used by Aya Fujisawa in middle school, before she made the RX-Zeromaru.[4]
  • The F-Kunoichi's name and concept is based on wordplay with the Japanese word kunoichi (くノ一?), a term contemporarily used for a female ninja, which contains similar sounds as the numbers nine (九 Kyū?) and one (一 Ichi?) in Japanese, the same numbers used in the Gundam F91.
