Furuya opted for the ν Gundam and Wakai the RX-78, while the producers used the new Raphael Gundam and Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth .
It was a close fight, but Tsuchida quipping 'So this is what a controller looks like?' while yanking one of the producers' controllers.
In the second battle, the producers chose Strike Gundam and Crossbone Gundam X-1 Kai. Defeating Team Amuro, they evened the score at 1-1.
