Open your eyes Our world as we know it is under attack

In these days That seem like just a big sham

Our S.O.S. is quickly gaining steam

Even though we know something is off

Today passes by against the backdrop Of the usual sky, the same sights

What did we promise that day?

What did we talk about in the classroom?

At this rate That promise might disappear, too

Open your eyes

Our world as we know it is under attack

This is no drill And it's no rehearsal either

Once the veil called "daily life"

Is ripped off

The bell to fight rings out

So why don't we form an alliance for now?

I've come to rescue you from "boredom"

Huh? But how?

Wasn't the school destroyed by that monster yesterday?

Do you think Gridman fixed up the school for us?

Monster?

Yeah. You know, the monster last night that went on a rampage.

Huh?

Dude, Hibiki. It's too early to be talking nonsense.

But seriously, your amnesia thing is real?

You hit your head?

Give the guy a break.

No one remembers the monster or Gridman.

It's like their memories reset along with the city.

Huh?

Why would this be happening?

The news isn't even talking about it.

First of all...

It seems weird, aren't we missing some desks?

Now you're creeping me out.

Who's missing?

Um, he's right.

Where did Tonkawa and Toiko's desks go?

What's it mean?

-Now desks are missing? -Morning, Rikka.

Oh? Surrounded by guys again.

Would you give it a rest?

Anyways,

how come there's no desks for Tonkawa, Toiko, and the others?

Tonkawa? Toiko?

Who's that?

Who? You know, the volleyball club.

Nobody plays volleyball in our class.

-Huh? -Who are you talking about?

What's going on?

Beats me.

Teacher! Something's wrong with Rikka!

Uh, that's nice.

-Stand. Attention. Bow. -No, seriously!

She's making up imaginary friends or something!

Just sit down already.

Let's take attendance... or not.

Oh, yeah. Rikka. Hit the plaza later?

Huh? Yeah, sure.

This is just too weird.

Let's ask Gridman after school.

Yeah, he might know something.

Hold on. The shop's closed today.

Huh? Then open it.

I happen to have plans today.

There happens to be an ongoing crisis.

You don't think it's strange?

It definitely is, but...

Ugh...

-Sweet. Let's head to Rikka's after. -Oh? Look at you.

Sorry. I have to open the shop today.

It's fine, it's fine! We don't mind!

Have a blast!

Hey, come on!

Wait a second.

You plan to come every day?

Yeah. It's the secret base of the Gridman Alliance.

Really? The Gridman Alliance? So dumb...

It's not dumb at all!

Gridman...

Where are you eating?

Huh?

Lunch. Where are you eating?

Hey.

You really have amnesia?

Yeah.

Whoa. That sounds kind of cool.

Nah, it doesn't feel that way.

I heard you say something funny this morning.

That a monster showed up.

What was that about? Tell me, tell me!

Uh, how do I put it...

Hmm? Why are you hiding it?

It's not that I'm hiding it... I'm just...

Oh?

Sorry, I'm prying too much.

No, it's fine.

Guess I'll be going then!

Let's do lunch again sometime?

Yeah.

Gridman...

Could that have to do with our guest?

I'm sorry!

Come on, teacher! Watch where you're going!

Yeah.

The shop's closed today, so...

You all have fun now!

See you later!

Yo.

Oh, hi.

Yuta, you have a mission to do.

Um, about that, I was hoping you could explain it better.

I can see the picture but can't hear his voice.

Huh? You can't?

That's inefficient.

What's Gridman saying?

Uh...

Danger is quickly approaching.

I'm home, Alexis.

Well, well! Welcome back, Akane.

Something bad happened again, did it?

Yeah, but I found out something.

Hmm? What's that?

About our guest. He might be named Gridman.

Oh? Gridman?

Yeah.

And it seems like there are three kids who didn't lose their memories.

Oh! How curious is that!

Right?

It's no use, and he even said he'd explain later!

Still, we can always unravel the mystery without relying on Gridman.

We'll figure out who the enemy is.

Enemy? This is getting out of hand.

You never know. It might be aliens up to something.

-Huh? -Aliens?

If monsters are appearing, it's only natural aliens come next.

It's a staple of the Ultra Series.

What's that?

Oh...

Aliens...

Oh, yeah!

Hmm?

Um, I'm sorry. The shop is closed today.

An alien!

-Who's that? -I have no idea!

I'm Samurai Calibur.

Samurai?

He's totally an alien.

Danger is approaching.

That's why we've come.

"We," meaning...

Me and the others.

Is this where you're at?

What are you doing?

Um, that's actually something for sale...

I'm optimizing it.

Gridman's no good as he is now.

Gridman? You know him?

I'm done.

So fast.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, you three?

I hear it! Gridman's voice!

For real.

You must hurry. There's something you all must do.

Something I must do...

You can leave it to us, Gridman.

We'll start by investigating the five missing people.

How?

I got their addresses during lunch.

Using our school's secret weapon, the telephone network!

You creep me out.

Let's go.

Whoa, hold on!

Hey, wait up, Mr. Samurai!

That guy has to be dangerous.

Is that the right way?

I'm pretty sure it is,

but I wish he'd stay on the street.

Look at that!

Monster!

He's right!

You both see them too?

Yeah.

And we've been living right next to them for so long.

CHINESE CUISINE RYUTEI

We're here.

Rikka, if you please.

Please!

Huh? I have to?

DAILY MENU 500 YEN EACH

Welcome!

Um, excuse me?

Huh?

Is Sakiru Tonkawa here?

I'm Rikka Takarada from her high school.

High school? What do you mean by that?

Huh?

We didn't see her in school today.

Of course not.

Our girl died in middle school in an accident.

-Middle school? -Middle school?

No, she was at a school yesterday...

Listen here.

I think we pushed his buttons.

What's this mean?

She died during middle school?

Let's go.

Hold up, Mr. Samurai!

After that, we went to the other four's houses...

But it was the same for all of them.

Yeah! Yeah! They're dead!

How wonderful!

It's scorching.

Not drinking?

I can't drink anything carbonated.

Shaking that won't get it out.

Why is it that they're all dead now?

They were fine just yesterday.

They were attacked by a monster, so...

Does it mean we'll never see them again?

Even if we're told they're dead, it doesn't feel like it.

Yeah.

How can you be so calm?

Because the whole situation hasn't sunk in yet.

Besides, Rikka, were you even friends with Tonkawa and them?

What's it matter?

That's not even what I'm talking about.

BUCKWHEAT TEA

Can you drink this?

Thank you.

I don't want

any more friends

to disappear.

For good memories to disappear.

And for me

to be the only one who remembers.

I don't like that at all.

Nobody would.

Which is why we must fight.

If...

another monster appears, I want him to fight.

Because only Hibiki and Gridman can protect my friends.

Tell that to him.

I can't.

Look, my new creation!

Oh, wow, it's magnificent! What will you use it for?

I'm thinking I'll kill my homeroom teacher!

-Oh? -To run into someone and not apologize?

So rude!

That's not very nice.

Right?

I'm counting on you!

Yeah, yeah.

Instance Abreaction!

I knew it, another monster.

One's coming?

A monster...

What the heck?

Oh, there you are, teacher!

Don't leave when school's still open!

You ought to be interacting with students!

That was totally wild!

Look where you're aiming!

I must go.

Whoa! Hold on!

It's dangerous!

People are going to die again.

I've got to fight with Gridman.

This is way out of character for you!

It might be, but...

we're the Gridman Alliance, aren't we?

Well...

Yeah.

Let's get to Junk.

Right!

Thank you!

That was close.

Let's go, Utsumi!

Yeah!

I told you we'd have to fight.

What will you do?

We don't have much time.

I wonder if teacher actually died.

Well, who cares either way?

Gridman! Fight with me!

In this world, I am merely energy without substance.

Unless I combine with you, I won't be able to fight.

Something only I can do.

That is what I must do!

That is our Primal Accepter.

You'll have to Access Flash with me when you're ready.

Right!

Access Flash!

I feel so light! Is that because of Gridman?

His color and moves are different!

I can hear you over there!

-This must be the optimized Gridman! -Yeah.

Come on! Go pulverize it!

Grid...

Beam!

It reflected the beam!

My beam counter was perfect!

Well done, Akane!

Not this again!

At this rate, he'll lose.

Doesn't that monster have any weak points?

-No idea. -Huh?

Can't you do something?

I can't.

You're kidding.

If you're a friend of Gridman, please help him out!

That I can do.

Huh?

Access code...

Gridman Calibur!

Use me, Gridman!

Right!

Electric Great Sword... Gridman Calibur!

What's that? He's got weapons?

What a pesky guest.

Don't lose to that!

Let's slice it apart, Gridman!

Right!

Grid...

Calibur...

End!

Yeah!

-Hibiki! -Yuta!

-Thank you! -Sure.

What's with that sword? That wasn't fair!

Ow, ow, ow...

So violent.

What I must do.

I did what only I can do

together with Gridman.

But...

this destroyed city

and the memories of the people who live here will again...

I'll head there now.

Namiko and Hass are both okay.

I'm going to meet up with them.

Thanks.

Who was that meant for?

Yuta, thanks to you, I was able to fight.

But what about all those people we couldn't save?

If you hadn't done anything, more would have died.

From now on, keep doing what you can do.

I knew it.

Besides us, nobody remembers the monster or Gridman at all.

And the city's back to normal again.

It's so hot. Let's go back in.

If this keeps repeating over and over,

is there any real meaning to anything I've done?

Oh, sorry.

My bad.

No, it's okay.

Yuta,

watch where you're going, man.

I'm sorry.

It's all about to fall apart

The sights that I see The blueness of the sky, all of it

The answer to the emptiness Left by the sweaty season

Is something that nobody knows

Even if I can't remember it Surely our meeting had to be

Youthful Somewhere, somehow, we were connected

Connected

We'll be together tomorrow

The day after, and beyond that

Whether or not you're waiting for me I'll run

If I keep my legs moving I'll become light

Who knew this fleeting moment could be

So beautiful, so cherished

Filling the hole in my heart
