{"title":"Sengoku Astray Gundam","description":"\u003cp\u003e侍ノ弐 Sengoku Astray Gundam is a Gunpla built and flown by Nils Nielsen in \u003cem\u003eGundam Build Fighters\u003c\/em\u003e (2013–2014). It is not a machine from a war: Nils starts from the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame, the Orb prototype of the \u003cem\u003eSEED Astray\u003c\/em\u003e manga, and rebuilds it as a samurai. The armour and the name are his tribute to his Japanese heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNils enters the suit in the Gunpla World Tournament and takes it deep into the bracket, and its most-quoted fight is against Sei Iori and Reiji's Star Build Strike Gundam. In \u003cem\u003eAstray's Blade\u003c\/em\u003e, Meijin Kawaguchi III sums the machine up by noting that Nils named it Sengoku and then fought with Chinese martial arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe swords cut beams, not just armour.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nKiku-ichimonji and Kotetsu carry a particle alteration coating that shifts the blades' Plavsky particle band to match the direction of a swing. That lets them block beam fire and cut particle barriers, and it broke them once, when the Star Build Strike moved the band faster than the coating could follow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe shoulder armour hides a second pair of arms.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nNils added the Sengoku Yoroi plates to cover the Red Frame's bare shoulders and knees. The side armour on the shoulders deploys as hidden arms that can swing the swords or deliver the Particle Fa Jin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Particle Fa Jin destroys from the inside.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nTaken from Chinese martial arts, the strike forces the suit's own Plavsky particles into an opponent's Gunpla and breaks it apart internally. It stops working if the particles have nowhere to flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe shield is a demon face worn on the back.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nOni No Tate normally covers the rear, and Nils dismounts it only when he expects a heavy frontal attack, which is rare because he prefers to defend with the swords.
