And so...

You shamelessly came back, empty-handed.

Yeah, so?

We're sorry, Rachel.

We sent the Hind and the Painkiller out,

and you couldn't capture the Linebarrel?!

What were you doing against that amateur Factor?!

If the CEO hadn't stopped us then, we would've had him!

Hah! I don't know about that!

What?!

Now, don't say that, Rachel.

That's just how far the Linebarrel's powers were beyond our expectations.

Right?

Honestly! You're too nice, Gorou!

We're sorry, Chief Maki.

I know you'd gone to some trouble to prepare to receive it...

Don't worry about it.

The Linebarrel issue will be taken care of soon enough.

What?

Because I hear Moritsugu-kun is coming back today.

- Reiji is?! - Moritsugu-san is?!

But with Moritsugu-san back...

Sure! The Linebarrel is as good as caught!

Complaints and claims for damages from all parties concerned.

This is going to eat up half a year's worth

of our Precision Medical Products Division's profits.

Which is why we should have just gone ahead

and captured Hayase-kun.

That kid should be able to handle things, though...

But we cannot allow for there to be further damage...

No helping it.

As soon as Moritsugu-kun gets back,

I suppose we'll have him take care of it.

This may turn into an unpleasant experience for Hayase-kun...

Good morning.

M...

Morning...

Breakfast is ready, Kouichi-san.

Oh, okay.

"Kouichi Hayase is born"

I'm sorry.

I wasn't able to make it come out right...

It's totally okay!

Thanks for the food!

Honestly! You never eat breakfast when I make it for you...

Mom!

My hair won't do what I want it to!

Yes, yes. I'll help you.

Yes, yes. I'll help you.

Yesterday, there was yet another incident

of the Special Self-Defense Force's new Armas going out of control.

There won't be a next time.

He's already gone rampaging in the city twice,

so I doubt even JUDA will be able to remain good-natured about it.

They will set out to capture the Linebarrel without fail this time.

And they will do so by playing their strongest card.

Now, my dear captains,

what do you suppose our next move should be?

I will go.

This opponent has fought off Sawatari twice now.

I find my curiosity is piqued.

Very well, Dimitri. I will leave it to you.

Imagine, my friends.

The path that we ought to take. The world that ought to be.

Those who are unable to do so...

...have no right to their future.

Hayase-kun.

We went and bought you curry bread from Hama Bakery.

You're late! I told you to do it in under 10 minutes!

We're sorry!

Just kidding.

Don't look so scared.

I don't pick on the weak.

Is that right?

So it was true that Furuya and his posse got worked over by Hayase.

I can't believe it...

What in the world's going on here?

Yajima, I'm going to give you something interesting to watch.

So my justice will lay you all to waste!

Yajima!

Risako...

Kouichi is acting strange.

It's totally unlike him.

I never thought he'd change so suddenly...

Do you have any idea why, Yajima?

What?

I don't know, either...

I see...

I wonder if there's nothing I can do for Kouichi anymore.

Somehow, I feel like Kouichi's so far away now.

- That's not true. - What?

You know,

Saki's been wanting some of your cupcakes, since it's been a while.

Saki-chan has?

Your cupcakes are tasty, after all.

Ever since we were little,

eating them always cheered Kouichi right up,

even when he was crying from being bullied.

Oh! Right!

If I get Kouichi some of those cupcakes, even he'll...

Thank you, Yajima!

I'll go make some right away and take them to Kouichi's place!

You come by later, too!

You know, you guys quit picking on the weak, too, all right?

R-Right...

Power is something you should use for bigger things!

He doesn't understand how to use his power.

I found something weird in the shrine woods.

It looks like a grave with your name on it...

It doesn't "look like" a grave. It is a grave.

What? Then, you put that thing...

I used to be powerless, but that me died and was reborn.

Into a chosen being, with the power of justice!

What are you, stupid?

Don't call me stupid!

You still plan to keep playing at that?!

Haven't you been watching the news?

I have been watching!

They're a joke.

They cut out all my good deeds!

That's not what I mean!

I'm talking about the damage this city's seen!

Your selfish actions have caused trouble for tons of people!

If you're going to lecture me, then I'm not listening.

Risako's...

...worried.

That she doesn't understand you anymore.

That goes for me, too.

You've suddenly changed, and honestly...

So the truth comes out.

What?

Ever since you were a brat,

you've protected and looked after this guy,

and now he's suddenly gotten all strong.

That's why you don't like it, right?

Do you seriously believe that?!

Don't.

You can't win against me the way I am now.

I don't care what you say about me,

but don't trample on Risako's concern for you!

I'm going now.

The champion of justice is a busy guy.

You're... despicable.

I wonder if this will make Kouichi happy.

Of course, it will!

Your cupcakes are the best, Risa!

Aw, man, Kouichi's a lucky guy!

To be so loved by you, Risa!

Oh, please, Saki-chan!

But I wonder why my bro still hasn't found a girlfriend.

Yeah, I know.

Yajima's pretty good-looking, after all.

What?!

Who are you?!

Pass!

Give it back! Give it back to me!

Quit it!

Shut up! Stay out of this!

Risako-chan!

No! Quit it!

Risako-chan!

Hey!

Knock if off, you guys!

Anyone who picks on Risako and Kouichi will have to answer to me!

- Yajima! - Yajima-kun!

Everything's going to be okay now.

Keep your nose out of this, Yajima!

You wanna fight?!

- Why, you! - Take this!

Quit trying to act cool!

Yajima-kun!

Hang in there, Yajima!

Like I'm going to lose to you guys!

That's it, Yajima! Keep that up and go get them!

- I hear they got it! - For real?!

- I get to go first, all right?! - Sure!

I'm sorry.

I think Kouichi-san should be returning shortly.

Wh-Wh-Wh-What's going on?! Who is she?!

Or rather, what's with the "Kouichi-san"?!

Risa, calm down!

Don't let her intimidate you! You've got history with my bro, Risako-chan!

Y-You're right!

Okay, then...

This is getting interesting!

I can't resist watching!

Did you bake these yourself?

Well, yeah.

They're easy,

but Kouichi's always asking me to make them all the time!

I had no idea.

So this is the kind of thing Kouichi-san used to like.

Wh-Wh-Wh-What does she mean, "used to"?!

Or rather, what does she know about how Kouichi is now?!

Risa, calm down!

You totally win when it comes to cooking and making sweets!

Y-Yeah, right?!

Okay, then...

Then, I'll make us some tea.

l-I'll do it!

Oh, no, I couldn't allow a guest to...

W- Wakame seaweed?

What?!

I can't believe myself!

I totally thought these were tea leaves...

Wh-Wh-What is this?! What's with her?!

Why does she seem cute, even when she messed up?!

Risa, calm down!

You go make a cute mistake, too, and show how charming you are!

Y-You're right!

Okay, then...

I'll start over and make tea for us.

Huh? I can't believe myself!

I got bonito flakes instead!

What're you doing?

What's with the bonito flakes?

Welcome home.

Oh, I'm back.

Come here a sec, Kouichi!

Wh-What?

Who is she?!

What's her relationship to you?!

It's nothing. It's none of your business, is it, Risako?

It is my business!

I've always looked after you since we were little!

I've cast aside the past.

Cast aside?! Have I been cast aside?!

- Risa! - Hang in there!

l-I'm not giving up!

I've got enough in me...

...to make a big bang...

Imagine!

O powerless people!

There is currently a developing situation in the harbor district!

Please evacuate to your designated shelter immediately!

Repeating!

There is currently a developing situation in the harbor district!

Everyone, hurry! To the shelter!

Kouichi!

Kouichi-san...

That is... When you fight...

I know!

I'm starting to get the hang of this, too.

Don't worry!

That's as far as you go!

So you haven't learned your lesson and you've come again!

I'll be the one to defend justice in this town!

Launching an attack all by yourself?!

You've got guts, I'll give you that!

But this is the end for you!

Come out!

Wh-What?!

So he had some friends...

You're naive.

You took to the battlefield without the ability to even imagine that?

Hah! Don't underestimate me!

I won't lose to the likes of you!

Like you'd hit me!

I have no intention of hitting you.

Kouichi, stop this already!

Yajima!

There's no need for you to fight, is there?!

It's a power you just happened to come across!

Give up that Arma already and run!

It's not an Arma! It's a Machina!

The Linebarrel is powerful!

Kouichi, that's enough!

Shut up! You'd never...

Someone like you could never understand how I feel!

How it feels to be powerless and unable to do anything!

How frustrating it was to be unable to even protect the girl I liked!

K-Kouichi...

How sad it felt to have to watch someone else protect the girl I liked!

How wretched it felt to be protected by that someone myself!

It's my...

Is it my fault?

Kouichi...

I've been reborn!

I have power now!

How deplorable...

We've collected enough data!

Take him down!

Kouichi!

Taking further losses would be pointless...

Pull out!

You will hand over that Machina, the Linebarrel, to JUDA.

Who the hell are you?!

JUDA Special Service Division Chief, Reiji Moritsugu!

You've had plenty of fun now, haven't you?

Your game of playing the champion of justice is over.

Wh-What did you say?!

That's Reiji for you!

There's no way an amateur Factor stands a chance

against Moritsugu-san's Vardant!

It's about time you gave it up.

You must now comprehend the level of power that you have.

I...

I became the champion of justice!

This power belongs to me!

I won't hand it over to anyone!

I'll be damned if I hand it over!

Wh... What?

Moritsugu-san sure is merciless!

Go for it, Reiji! Get him!

- Go, Reiji! Go! - Hayase-kun...

Stop!

Please stop this already!

Kouichi will end up dead at this rate!

He didn't know anything!

He just happened to come across that thing!

Why... Why?

Why?!

I gained this power!

I'm the champion of justice!

Why are you all against me?!

Damn it all!

Why won't you all try to recognize what I've done?!

I'm the one who's protecting this city!

Praise me!

Admit that I've got the most power!

I'm the one who's powerful!

I'm the most powerful!

Stop this already!

Why?

K-Kizaki...

Why did you stop me?!

A little longer and I would've won against him!

Kouichi-san!

Flaunting your power?! Is that all you want to do?!

- We... - Shut up!

Nobody asked you!

You just have to stay quiet and be protected by me!

You are...

...despicable.

I bet you all thought that I'd be depressed, huh?

Too bad!

I have no interest in that stupid robot

and that thing about being a champion of justice was just a joke!

I mean, you're all so...

You're despicable!
