History
Two Gundam Areus kits are offered as the grand prize of the second Gunpla Guerilla Battle Tournament, the inaugural tournament where the Protagonist and Sana Miyama won the Gundam Artemis as a team the year prior. The Protagonist and Sana win the two Gundam Areus by default after the other team of competitors is disqualified when they do not appear for the final match. The Protagonist spends a night completing the Gunpla for use. The second Gundam Areus is customized by Sana over the course of a few weeks into the Gundam Valkyrie.
