OVA
Description
Boris Schauer stands as a senior Gunpla Meister celebrated across the Gunpla Battle community for his high-level expertise. Sporting long blonde hair and sunglasses, he bears a noted resemblance to Quattro Bajeena. He commands the GPB-X78-30 Forever Gundam, a heavily customized RX-78-2 variant boasting enhanced defensive armor, beam weaponry, and unique funnel systems that generate defensive I-Fields.
Boris focuses on challenging and mentoring protagonist Haru Irei. After observing Haru’s initial battle, he tests the newcomer in a one-on-one match, decisively defeating the Beginning Gundam with the Forever Gundam’s superior capabilities. His tactical acumen surfaces when he later analyzes battles to pinpoint weaknesses, such as an opponent sacrificing firepower for mobility during Haru’s fight with Tatsu Shimano. Despite his reserved nature, Boris maintains ongoing interest in Haru’s growth, indirectly enabling upgrades to the Beginning Gundam through collaborations with Bandai to design advanced parts. This dynamic mirrors Char Aznable’s mentorship of Amuro Ray in *Char’s Counterattack*.
As a team leader in the Gunpla Battle Championship, Boris is flanked by wingmen Sam and Diana Lee, piloting a GM Blue Destiny Unit 1 and a Kämpfer respectively. His squad confronts Haru’s group in the tournament finale, culminating in an unresolved clash between the Forever Gundam and Haru’s upgraded Beginning 30 Gundam. Boris’s origins remain undisclosed, amplifying his mystique. He frequently travels by horse and appears or vanishes without warning, sustaining an elusive aura.
Beyond the OVA, Boris features in expanded media. In *SD Gundam G Generation Overworld*, he emerges as a secret enemy reinforcement piloting the Forever Gundam alongside Zaku III units and a Super Custom Zaku F2000. *Gundam Breaker Mobile* includes him as a 4-star AI pilot. Spin-off manga such as *Gunpla Builders Beginning D* and *J* document no further background or development for his character.
