Lately, illegally downloading TV shows...

...has become common.

Redistribution, via the internet...

...or other media...

...without the right holders' permission...

...Is illegal.

Please remember that!

Kenta, dinnertime.

Would you please come down?

I'll leave it here for you, OK?

Miracles exist next to reality, it definitely exists.

Fight! One Shot! Charger Girl!

A small sigh, because of worries.

Now, staring at your back.

It's wrong, that's why I won't say those kind of words.

People definitely aren't alone.

Even if I touch that painful memory gently.

Even if I forget that precious time.

That's why, to reach even a little higher.

Look, the shine reflected in the child's eyes.

Let the whole world be filled with energy.

I can lend you my power only for this moment.

It hurts...

It hurts!

This is bad! She's going into shock!

We need an airway. Get a tube in there.

Pupils are dilating!

Don't worry. After electric shock, it's normal and temporary.

Incising along the forearm. Take the left.

Pulse is weak. 142...

This is the insulator suit we recovered.

The charger staff member wearing it was badly burned by electric shock.

As you can clearly see from the forearms of the suit, as well as the grounding...

...this accident occurred due to a counter-current effect.

Counter-current effect?

What was that again?

You idiot...

Counter-current refers to electricity that flows back out...

...when a target is charged.

If the amount of counter-current is too extreme...

...the ground can no longer manage it...

...overwhelming the suit's insulation, causing accidents like this.

How can you forget something like that?

You need to go back to training.

Follow-up investigation revealed...

...that the target's physical characteristics...

...made him return an exceptional amount of current.

This caused the accident.

Thus, Neodyme has decided to designate this target...

Kajiwara Kenta, a Class Z.

Totally throwing their hands up, huh?

Haven't had one of those in a while.

A kid?

As a result of this designation...

He is no longer considered a target for charging.

We ask the charger staff, especially, to keep this in mind.

I guess the kid used to be bullied a lot.

But this year, everyone in his class was a good person...

...S0 he wasn't bullied and began to like school for the first time.

But a minor misunderstanding made him believe...

...the bullying was starting again.

Since he'd only just started having fun...

...the shock was pretty bad.

Due to the trauma of his prior bullying...

...even though he now knows it was a misunderstanding...

...he can't bring himself to return to school.

That's what seems to be happening.

What are you reading?

Studying? Plug doesn't study.

About Z-Class Designation

It a report about that kid.

It's a report on the Class Z case.

Plug said she wanted to read it.

But she couldn't figure out how to look at the file herself.

Man, you're helpless.

Sempai, that hurts...

But I feel bad for him.

He's still so small.

Warning level B...

It says that when Division 1 first found him, he was a D!

Then it's getting worse?

It just suddenly started to worsen.

The situation keeps worsening, and before long, he'll reach A.

No way!

If he gets to A...

...his heart might fail at any time.

Plug! There's no point looking into him.

We can't help now.

But...

I feel bad for him!

Is that all?

If I read over the report and think...

...maybe I'll find a way to help.

You were thinking about that?

We were told not to charge the Z class at the meeting!

I read this, too.

Look here. The maximum time our current suits would last.

It's a five-second maximum.

Five...

Any more...

...and it ends up like this.

Then if you charge him multiple times, five seconds each?

They calculate that here.

It would take 350 times.

The power pole transformer in the parallel world wouldn't last.

So it's impossible.

The only way to charge him is all at once.

If you keep it up until completion, it could cost your life.

Don't be stupid!

I feel bad for him, too, but there are things even we can't do.

I'm your friend, but I can't keep you from getting killed here!

Yeah...

Everyone, big news!

I-1 just heard this at the General Affairs Department...

Counter-Current

Research and Development

Just like I said, right?

Arresta, that's...

A new type of suit. So?

Seriously?

For class Z's?

It's much more shock-resistant?

They look like they'd fly off, like a robot's rocket punch!

But why are you wearing that, Arresta?

I asked her to test it.

I figured she'd be the best.

Arresta!

Save him. Save Kajiwara Kenta!

I'm sure you can do it with that new suit!

You've got the wrong idea.

You seem to be out of it today.

Really?

You are different.

The goal of this suit isn't to save him.

I'm going to get clinical data.

Data?

What do you mean?

Z classes are rare and therefore valuable.

We want precise data on the kind of numbers we'd see with charging.

That's what this suit's for.

We've added these new gloves to the current suit...

...and added three layers of electricity-dispersing coating.

It's kind of haphazard, but it's fine for getting data.

What will happen to the Z class?

As soon as the data is acquired, the operation ends.

So you won't finish it?

It's to prevent the worst from happening.

Theoretically, the suit can withstand the counter-current...

But we can't be sure.

But it's possible, isn't it?

Then you should charge him to the end.

Plug.

You should try, at least.

If it's dangerous, I'll do it instead-

Enough.

What will happen to him?

If his warning level declines...

He's the one who's in danger!

He'll have to figure out something himself.

That means we're abandoning him!

Don't be stupid!

We're not a charity!

Enough of this!

B-But...

Enough.

Chief.

She's right.

I can barely even move...

Do I have to give up?

Coward!

But this is impossible. I'll never win!

He's on a different level!

Fine, then!

I'll teach you a special spell.

A special spell?

Special!

Now listen up.

Y-Yes, Master!

Why are you cleaning at night?

I've got class tomorrow morning and work at night.

You could skip cleaning for a day.

I've got time now.

I don't like letting stuff pass when I could be doing it.

I'm going to clean over there, so...

I don't like letting stuff pass when I could be doing it...

Bath time!

Sento-san...

Harder...

It's Arresta.

I'm going to phase-shift now to gather the clinical data.

Understood.

Transfer complete.

Let's see...

The call code for the new suits...

Wait!

Who's there?

Plug!

What are you doing here?

I've got a request.

Do you normally ask for favors by trying to snap people's heads off?

Let me gather the data.

Please, Arresta?

I just looked like an idiot in front of the chief.

I'm so worried that she's gonna cut my salary again...

So you want me to let you wear the new suit?

Yes!

You're going to do a full charge on him, aren't you?

No!

Why?

As long as we get the data, who cares who does it?

I said, No!

If I leave it to an idiot like you, there's no telling how you'll screw up!

So, go home.

OK, then. I didn't want to use this, but...

What?

This!

It's super-effective!

Do you think that will work on me twice?

Click!

It'll keep getting bigger.

Look!

See!

No! I don't like it too big!

A few minutes later...

Sorry about that.

Jeez...

I'll get the data, OK?

Make sure you do.

What are you doing?

Checking the suit's hardness.

It's something you do beforehand.

What's this?

I'm not seeing the reported numbers.

The anti-counter-current is 1.3 times higher than expected.

Anti-shock capabilities 1.5 times?

That's barely different than the normal suit!

What do you mean?

If you charge in that, it'll get you, not just the suit.

We'll have to put this off.

No way. Then when will the charge be?

Depends on R&D.

Even if it is a rush job, this is awful.

That's not good enough!

Plug?

We don't have time for that!

Kenta-kun might become an A at any time.

We can't help it, though.

But..

Did you forget?

We're not a charity!

Let's head back to the company.

Let me have the suit back.

Plug...

Plug!

Wait, Plug!

If its communicator works just like the current suit's...

The speed's been increased.

Full speed ahead!

Is that Kenta-kun?

What is he looking at?

I see.

Kenta-kun, you really do want to go to school.

You want to play there.

I understand.

I don't care if it's a defective suit!

I'm not scared of the counter-current!

Wait!

I'll do my best for you, Kenta-kun.

Plug, stop it!

Fight! One Shot...

Charge!

Charge

Plug!

What is that?

No!

It hurts!

It's hot!

It hurts!

I'm only halfway there.

The feedback's too strong. I can't charge.

Release the refresher!

Not yet. Not yet...

You can't do any more!

Both your arms will burn up!

Plug...

Do your best... Do your best.

Just 25% more!

We just need to earn our pay!

Even if you save him, there's no point if you die!

Just a bit more...

You'll really die!

Stupid Plug!

If I just try a little harder...

I'll make it so you'll...

Be able to play outside again...

Do your best.

Kenta-kun...

Do your best...

Do your best...

Do your best...

Do your best...

Do your best...

Do your best...

Do your best...

What's wrong?

Just now I thought I felt something.

What am I saying?

We made it!

Nice recovery!

Everyone?

Why?

The chief sent us out on an emergency run.

You just don't die, do you?

You're going to get one hell of a lecture later!

Medical team! Now transporting one, heavily wounded.

Counting on you!

Why did she do this to herself?

Cause she's Plug.

Cause she's an idiot!

Everyone ready?

Hurry and phase shift!

Roger!

It was a bigger failure than I'd heard.

I guess new suits are still just a pipe-dream.

You did well, Plug.

I guess saving people's hearts is not a job for technology...

But for other people's hearts...

I hope the Leakage Girls don't make a big fuss out of this.

Jeez, even if these were orders...

Was this really the best way to do it?

Plug?

Look at this.

This is what you did, even though you're an idiot and a screw-up.

I'm going to school tomorrow.

He's doing well.

So you do well, too!

It's all an idiot like you has going for her.

Plug...

Plug!

I'm really tough, you know.

I'm fine even if I'm alone.

I can go anywhere.

I don't need a boyfriend.

I'm going for a strong mood.

It's what I decided before meeting with you.

That is often a...

...bad habit.

It's not a conversation?

What should I do? Turn it over?

Because I am...

...always special.

You are special too, I just know it.

I don't want it if it's not like that.

I will always be by your side.

When you fall...

...you want to...

...hold your tears, right?

But why am I the one...

...who is always protected?

Whenever it looks like I'm gonna stumble...

...and fall from my feelings...

...you always gently support me.

That coincidental bond will be dear to me.

Always.

My eternal sweet heart.

Thanks for everything, Plug!

When I close my eyes, I can see it all flash before me.

Those beautiful, joyful days of youth I shared with you...

Arresta! I had no idea you cared so much for her.

Rest in peace, Plug!

And I'll take the heroine's role.

So that's what you're after!

Next Time on Charger Girl:

Maid in Arresta!

Maid?

I have a bad feeling about this.
