주인공의 히로는, 초등학생 시절에 동료와 팀 「브라이트」를 결성. 아르마(무기 담당)의 소타를 내세워 주목받고 있었지만, 대회 전날에 건프라(나나하치)를 분실, 싸움으로 발전해 해산. 그로부터 4년 뒤 당시 기록 담당이었던 이마이즈미로부터 동영상 한 편이 왔다. 모교에서 재회한 멤버들이지만 거기에 이마이즈미의 모습은 없다. 히로들이 거기서 본 것은---

Hiro's and Sota's hearts burn bright again when they play together in their first Gunpla Battle since their elementary-school days. They visit their old secret base to reunite Team BRIGHT and prepare for the National Tournament. Problematically, Nakamaru has been letting his female classmates use the base, and they have to share the space now. Sota worries that the girls will hinder the team's activities, but Hiro is excited to have them there. Meanwhile, a strong team named MONSTRE requests a match.

Team BRIGHT meets with Sendo, a once-famous legendary craftsman. They ask Sendo to build an original weapon for the team. As Hiro struggles to understand why Sota left the team, he encourages them to come up with a strategy for their next battle. The girls' conversation at the base leads Kentaro to suggest using psychological warfare. On the day of the match, their commander, Nakamura, comes up with a plan to lower the other team's guard.

Shiraboshi tries to recruit Takumi to join MONSTRE. Hiro's suspicion towards Takumi grows when he delays responding to the invitation.

They analyze the Gunplasky particle adhesion rate on their Gunpla (the 78) , which affects the mobile suit's performance, and learn...

Team BRIGHT continues to win in the regional tournament. However, a reporter's thoughtless words shake Takumi's confidence. MONSTRE, the rival team their former teammate Sota joined, makes it to the final championship round. BRIGHT's next victory will make a showdown with Sota inevitable, and Takumi begins to have a breakdown from the pressure. In the middle of the semi-final round, something strange happens to Takumi...
