Good news Gundam fans! The first trailer of Gundam Build Fighters season 2 has been revealed and it features new characters, Gunplas, action pack battles, and many more.
Officially named "Gundam Build Fighters Try", season 2 will focus on three new heroes; martial artist Sekai Kamiki, Gunpla builder Yuuma Kousaka, and Gunpla Batte president Fumina Hoshino as they team up to challenge other Gunpla fighters in Japan and possibly around the world. Here is the official synopsis courtesy of the anime's official website.
"Seven years have passed since Sei Iori won the 7th Gunpla Battle Championship World Tournament. The Gunpla Battle Championship is now run by Yajima Trading. With new rules and battle modes, the game's popularity has become even more widespread.
However, the Seiho Academy that Sei Iori once attended has failed to catch onto the trend. The only member of the school's Gunpla Battle Club is its president, middle-schooler Fumina Hoshino. Currently there is no way the club can participate in the middle an high-school division of the upcoming All-Japan Gunpla Battle Championship, where players fight in teams of three.
Then Fumina meets a new transfer student. He is Sekai Kamiki, a young martial artist who has been traveling with his master. Together with a young Gunpla builder named Yuuma Kousaka, they finally have three members for their team.
Sekai Kamiki, Yuuma Kousaka, and Fumino Hoshino - Team "TRY FIGHTERS" is about to begin its challenge!"
New Gunplays are also introduced in the anime and these are the Build Burning Gundam, Lightning Gundam, and the Winning Gundam.

Lastly, there have been some speculation in the Gundam Guy blog site that Sekai Kamiki in season 2 is related to season 1 protagonist Reiji due to his appearance, while others debated that he is related to Sei Iori due to having the same Gunpla as him.
Gundam Build Fighters season 2 will air on October 2014 in the Japanese channel TV Tokyo.
