In the near future, GunPla Battles, competitions that pit Gundam plastic models against each other, have become popular worldwide in the Second GunPla Boom. Iori Sei, a first-year middle-school student and the only son of a model shop owner, is talented at building GunPla, but inexperienced in the GunPla Battles.
