Gundam Build Metaverse (ガンダムビルドメタバース Gandamu Birudo Metabāsu?) is a 2023 ONA series for the Gundam Build Series 10th Anniversary.
Its release also coincided with the opening of limited-time early access to the Gundam Metaverse Project in Japan and the United States.
Synopsis[]
A new Internet service has been born in the world of Gunpla. Within the Metaverse realm, the user can control their own avatar, interact with other users, play Gunpla Battle, and purchase actual Gunpla.
Rio Hojo is a boy who has dived into this new world. Studying Gunpla building techniques in the real world with Seria Urutsuki, and absorbing Gunpla Battle know-how from Mask Lady in the Metaverse world, he has been honing his skills day by day.
After completing his own original Gunpla, the "Lah Gundam", Rio happens to encounter some past champions of Gunpla Battle in the Metaverse realm.

Notes & Trivia[]
- Though connections were ambiguous at the time of broadcast, Gundam Build Metaverse appears to confirm that Gundam Build Fighters and Gundam Build Divers (as well as their respective sequel series), and Gundam Breaker Mobile and Gundam Breaker Battlogue all take place in the same universe.
- However, the characters from other Gunpla-based series like the Plamo-Kyoshiro manga, the Plamo Wars manga, the Model Suit Gunpla Builders Beginning G ONA (and its spin-offs D & J) and the Gundam Build Real drama does not appear in the show.
- Additionally, characters appear in their initial age, which leads to things such as Kaoruko Sazaki appearing older than Susumu Sazaki despite Susumu being the older sibling.
