23! 24! 25! 26!

Narisako, you've got this! 29! 30!

-31! 32! 33! 34! 35! -Keep it up!

Oh, you're awake.

Good morning...

You were out for 30 minutes and I couldn't wake you.

Are you feeling all right?

Yeah, there's nothing particularly hurting.

You suddenly collapsed and fell asleep, so you really startled me.

Want to wash your face?

The washroom is over there.

Who is that girl?

For that matter, who am I? Wait, what is this?

I can't remember anything. Oh, no, I've lost my memory...

Yuta!

Yuta...

Yuta!

Is that my name?

Yuta!

Yuta!

Yuta!

SSSS. GRIDMAN

The computer?

EPISODE ONE: AWAKENING

I am a Hyper Agent, Gridman.

Okay. G-Gridman?

You have to remember what your calling is.

My calling?

What are you doing?

Oh, that guy was calling to me.

-Who? -Gridman.

There's nothing on the screen.

Huh? No, but there was...

Only I can see him...

Huh? Am I hallucinating?

Hibiki, you're acting weird.

Gridman told me to remember what my calling is.

Your calling? Like your full name?

-Probably not. -Huh? What are you talking about?

-Where is this place? -Home. This is the shop.

-Whose? -Mine!

Yeah, but my question is, who?

Okay, and I mean, who... do you mean by whom?

You.

Now, look, are you messing with me?

No, I'm serious. I really can't... Can't remember anything.

Stop kidding.

-I have no memories. -You have memory loss?

-Yeah, that's it. -Are you messing with me?

Hey.

You're being too noisy.

Mama.

Rikka, why don't you take him to the hospital?

Huh? Me?

Of course, you. You're in the same class, right?

If he has memory loss, he might have hit his head.

You really don't look so well.

-Yeah, I keep seeing and hearing things. -Remember your calling.

Isn't this mist a little thick?

Is it?

Yeah, this is thick, right?

What is it?

Up there! Up there! There's a giant monster! A giant monster!

-Where? -Beyond the mist!

There's nothing there.

No, no, no, I see it! It's there!

Let's get moving, before the hospital closes.

Hey, if you have no memories,

does that mean you don't remember anything that happened today?

Yeah.

I see.

But still, if you're just pretending to have memory loss, you really suck.

Did something happen?

How did it go?

I didn't quite get everything, but anyway,

they said I would probably be back to normal before long.

What's up with that? For that matter, do you even have your insurance card?

What's that?

You can go home now, right?

Yeah. Thanks for everything.

Yeah.

Well, see you.

See you.

What's the matter?

I don't know where I live.

Huh? You've forgotten that, too?

I don't know where, either.

Let me see your cell.

Oh, yeah.

Utsumi would probably know where you live...

5-33-7-402 TSUTSUJI, NERIMA, TOKYO

Okay, okay, got it.

But then, this is pretty far.

It is?

And it's already 7:00!

Oh boy...

I'm getting hungry.

SEVEN TWO ONE TOBACCO LIQUOR ATM

Why was I even sleeping at some girl's home?

Not "some girl." Rikka Takarada.

That's my name.

Hibiki, you were passed out in front of our place, and we couldn't wake you.

What do you mean? How are we involved?

Are we friends?

I hate to burst your bubble,

but this is the most we've ever spoken since we were put in the same class.

Oh, I see...

That hit the spot.

Wow, what's up with him?

I'll leave you here.

Oh, never mind.

HIBIKI

This is it.

Okay, I'll be off.

A guy named Utsumi said he'll come pick you up tomorrow morning.

Okay. Thanks for everything.

Bye.

I'm home.

It's dark.

After looking around the house,

I found that my parents were on a business trip.

They wouldn't be home for three months.

It all seemed so unreal, like it was someone else's life.

Gridman. Did I really just...

Was it a hallucination?

Are you Utsumi?

Looks like you really do have memory loss, huh?

You've even forgotten my face?

Sorry.

Well, whatever. We only really got to know each other in April.

We'll just pretend we've become friends again.

Thanks. So anyway...

What is it?

What kind of person am I?

What a messy question. What kind of person, you ask?

I'd have to say normal.

Yeah.

You aren't a bad guy.

You wouldn't happen to know what Gridman is, would you?

No, what's that? Some new trend?

No, I wouldn't say that.

As it happens...

Hey, I saw you yesterday!

You were walking with Hibiki yesterday, right?

He's a boy.

So what?

Oh, thanks again for yesterday.

-Hey! -Hey!

-Little fibber! -You're hurting me!

-You've got a guy! -I do not!

Yuta, your desk is over there.

You've got such slender features.

I wouldn't say that.

OUT OF ORDER

Hey.

My friends are giving me a hard time.

You mean I shouldn't talk to you so much?

I'm not saying that, but let me have my space.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Look, never mind.

Let's eat outside.

Oh, I don't have any lunch.

You forgot to pack lunch?

My brain’s at its limit just dealing with school itself...

You can have this.

Hibiki, are you the "stiff-upper-lip- even-when-hungry samurai" type?

Akane Shinjo.

Looks like your memory loss has turned you into a transfer student, huh?

Yeah, I really can't remember a thing.

This is a special dog. I have extra, so you can have it.

Oh, thanks.

-Not at all. -Watch out!

Paging Inui. You have a telephone call on line one.

Paging Inui. You have a telephone call on line one.

Please come to the staff room

immediately.

I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!

Are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Tonkawa, do that outside.

I repent for my deed. There, finished.

But your special dog...

It's just a little smashed.

I can still eat it fine.

That's the class's ball.

That's not the issue.

Another monster? Something bad must have happened, huh?

Something you just can't let go of.

Today was pretty rough, huh?

Yeah. But Shinjo sure was nice.

Nice? I wouldn't call that nice, I'd say it was more like pity.

Let's not split hairs.

No, let's!

Akane Shinjo is one heavy-duty girl, with both looks and talent.

She's like a miracle girl, someone the whole class likes!

Utsumi, do you like Shinjo, too?

No, not me. She's too unapproachable, if you ask me.

I can't see us ever getting together...

But never mind her! I'd like to see this Gridman guy, too!

Oh, that...

Hey, where's Tonkawa?

Outside.

She's probably ditching.

She always slacks off whenever Yotsuba isn't around.

I'm home!

JUNK SHOP

Come on...

Don't come in through the front. I thought you were a customer.

Yeah, well, we do have customers...

Sorry to bother you again.

The boy from yesterday. How are you? Still have memory loss?

Yeah, but I'm all right.

I see. Rikka! Keep an eye on the shop! I have to head out for a bit.

Huh? Well, nobody will come in, anyway.

Hey!

Oh, you heard that?

Your dinner is cold tofu.

You sure get along great in your family.

How so?

I think we're pretty normal.

Yuta! Which one of these has Gridman?

That computer there.

Wow. Were old computers really this huge?

Look how it's cobbled together. This really is pile of junk, huh?

I am a Hyper Agent, Grid...

You told me that yesterday.

Yuta, hurry. There is danger closing in on the world.

What danger?

Who are you talking to?

Utsumi, you can't see him, either?

No.

Huh? What do you mean?

-This isn't good? -But what is that?

-Yeah, not good. -This is bad.

The danger is almost upon you.

Such a nice and evocative form.

Now, to put it in motion...

Instance Abreaction!

What is it?

I don't know.

But I've got a feeling there's trouble.

I've thought you were troubled all day.

I don't mean that!

I hear a monster.

Maybe we should take you to the hospital again.

SAFETY FIRST

-As we reported earlier... -Oh no, a fire?

Around 18:00 p.m...

For real?

-a monster-like moving object... -Looking at the area from overhead...

Do not flee in the direction of the monster's movement!

The train has come to an unexpected stop.

We apologize for the inconvenience to our passengers at this time.

There's something over there. I'm going to see!

Utsumi!

What is that...

It really is a monster!

Is that the monster you mentioned, Hibiki?

I'm not sure.

We really can't see from here, anyway. We need to get to the main road.

No way, it's too dangerous!

Hot stuff!

That was the school.

We are receiving reports of what appears to be a giant monster...

Can you verify what you're seeing there?

I'm standing behind a building, so I can't be sure...

Yuta! Yuta!

Gridman is calling me.

-Hibiki! -Yuta!

Gridman! You called me, right?

That's right. You and I must awaken.

Awaken? Does that mean...

I'll explain later!

But that's the most important thing!

-Yuta! -What's happening?

Yuta's been swallowed by that junk.

Old computers are terrifying...

I just saw something.

I see it, too.

No way! A giant?

Is that Gridman, that Yuta was talking about?

We still can't see very well from here!

I have to stop this monster.

Yuta's voice is coming from the junk!

Yuta has become...

Gridman and is fighting.

To defend the city from that monster!

Junk...

Old computers are awesome!

You don't suppose the junk and Gridman are linked, do you?

What? Are you saying that Hibiki is in trouble?

If only this were the Ultra Series!

The monster would have some kind of weakness!

Huh? What do you mean?

Shit! My body is so sluggish!

The neck. The neck is weaker and coming apart.

If he goes after that...

Then we have to tell Hibiki, right away!

But how?

The school's on fire! The school!

You're kidding!

He can't hear what we're saying.

Is there a way to contact him?

With this computer?

I'm going to try it. Utsumi, I'll type what you say

and try to get through to Hibiki.

Yeah.

She's fast...

I hear you.

I hear you.

Both Rikka and Utsumi's...

It's their words!

-Amazing... -Go, Gridman!

Grid...

Beam!

Yes! He won! Awesome!

Oh, Yuta! Thank goodness!

I'm...

-I'm back. -That was awesome, Yuta!

You fought a monster and won!

No, it wasn't just me.

Yuta!

Yuta, you must complete your mission.

Huh? I thought we just did.

It is all just beginning.

Hey! The three of us and Gridman beat that thing!

Yeah.

You know what? We definitely need a name for ourselves!

-Something like "The Gridman Alliance"! -Hey, whoa, hold on!

I hate to say this,

but I can't take any more today...

My head's in a jumble right now. I don't understand what Gridman is.

I'm worried about my friends, too.

I'm sorry, but...

Should we go?

Yeah.

Rikka!

Are you all okay?

Thank goodness. Rikka, answer your phone!

-Huh? -Don't "Huh?" me. I was worried!

Well, let's get going.

Yeah.

And now, some reactions from the people at the scene in Tokyo.

"Evening of the 4th, a giant monster was sighted in Nerima"

It would seem that we had some company show up.

What gives? What's happened here?

The school burned down yesterday, right?

What are you doing?

Well, look.

No way...

The school's been restored.

Now that's strange, isn't it?

-Yeah. -Yeah.
