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"

Good luck, okay?

I've got high hopes for you, Anti.

I'll crush him, no matter what...

EPISODE THREE: DEFEAT

I so want to skip...

No one remembers it, but...

This city was twice destroyed...

and twice put back to normal.

It's been a week since then,

and there's still no sign of my memory returning.

I feel like I'm the only one out of place and...

it's unsettling.

Yuta.

-Come here. -Huh?

That.

Whoa, it's Calibur?

Why did he follow us?

He totally looks suspicious.

Bet he gets thrown out.

No, I think he's fine.

It's just like before.

Nobody pays much attention to Calibur.

You're right...

Huh? Where's Rikka?

Now that you mention it...

RIKKA

If you're that worried, call the girl.

Hey, wait!

No answer...

-I think I'm onto something... -Huh?

In the fight the other day,

I saw Calibur turn into a giant sword.

In which case, what about the monsters we've seen?

Could they also be humans that have transformed?

Huh?

If that's true, then I...

killed people?

Have we unknowingly been fighting humans this whole time?

Kidding!

-That's unreal! -Not funny at all.

-Right? -That's... not funny at all.

All right, settle down.

Sensei, Rikka's not here!

Didn't call either.

-Well, she never contacted school. -Stand. Attention.

Do you need... an umbrella?

Here.

Want to eat this?

And this man described adolescence

as a period of transition.

In other words, marginal man

is a term which...

So he had a cell phone...

Hello? Anti?

Do it. Go wild.

All right.

Whoa!

Huh? What now?

A monster!

We don't have... time!

Yuta!

Hold up!

What was that?

-Crap, it's close! -Too close!

It's coming this way?

Whoa, shoot! No, no, no!

A monster?

Huh?

You're coming too.

Huh?

It's way more impressive seeing it up close in person!

Hope you come out to play soon, Gridman.

Ow, ow, ow...

Oh... Good morning, Hibiki.

Uh... Good morning.

Ah!

About earlier...

Yuta, another monster appeared. Hurry!

Right!

Access Flash!

I'm counting on you, Yuta!

It'll have to wait till he comes back...

He finally came.

Gridman! I'll crush you, you bastard!

The monster talked!

Then, this monster is also...

Isn't he getting a beat down?

Yuta! Pull it together!

I can't fight... a human!

A human? What's that about?

Die! Die! Die!

Why is this fight so one-sided?

-Because... -What?

Uh, nothing... It's...

Um, could you transform into a sword like you did that other time?

All right.

Access code,

Gridman Calibur!

Get out of my sight!

Not that again...

Electric Great Sword...

Gridman Calibur!

Yuta... If you and I lose here,

-think about all the victims! -But...

That means all of our comrades too!

Anti can copy his opponent's powers!

And that's not all!

-It's fast! At this rate... -Yuta!

This is the end for you, Gridman!

Huh? What happened?

Why aren't they coming back?

Hibiki... and Calibur...

They lost...

No way...

He's dead.

I did it...

I finally won!

I did it!

Ugh... I'm stiff as a board...

Whoa!

You scared the hell out of me! What, were you here all night?

Yeah.

Sleep in your room, would you?

Shop's closed today so it's not a big deal, but...

Breakfast's ready if you want it.

Okay.

And school?

Yeah, I'll go.

So there you have it!

A special treat for Anti's good work!

Yesterday, a boy named Utsumi in my class...

was saying that the monsters' true form might actually be humans.

Couldn't be further from the truth.

If he only knew monsters don't have a true form.

Monsters are just monsters.

Am I a monster too?

Yeah, you monster.

A monster-that-eats-breakfast-with-me monster.

-Don't you think... -Huh?

I've got to go check something!

Huh? Hey, wait up!

This is Yuta's place.

-Yeah. -I'll push it.

Wait!

Forget it... Let's go.

What did we come here for? To check, right?

To check and...

What if... Hibiki...

has been dead for a long time now?

Just like Tonkawa and Toiko...

That's why I couldn't ask anyone...

Thinking, what if they forgot about Hibiki too?

I'm scared to know, so I can't!

Yay! Gridman is dead and I feel great!

It's all thanks to you, Alexis!

No, no, no...

It's because you made such a marvelous auto intelligence monster that you won.

Why won't Junk turn on?

How am I supposed to know?

I suck with computers.

If Calibur was here, he could fix it.

Well he's not, so deal with it.

I was just saying it, so chill.

Don't tell me to deal with it.

Give me a break.

Yesterday, when Gridman was losing the fight,

you evaded my question.

Explain to me what--

I wasn't evading anything.

If I explained, you wouldn't get it anyways.

I knew you were treating me like some idiot.

When did it come down to that?

What a hassle. Fine, then.

The Gridman Alliance is...

disbanded.

You can't...

You can't disband it.

If you do that, Hibiki won't have any place to come back to.

I thought he'd come back like normal...

And once he did, I was going to apologize for not answering his call...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

This shop is everything you'd expect it to be.

You're kidding! There's a whole cafe in the back!

Um... the shop isn't open today, so...

That poses a problem.

If it's closed, we won't be able to support Gridman.

Huh?

Gridman?

Let's see... What to get...

Argh, it's all stuff I don't like.

I'll have a latte.

Excuse me? Two lattes, please!

Oh, one for me too.

Make that three lattes!

Um, can one of those be a toast set?

There's a set? Make that two sets!

Ah, but they're only from two o'clock on.

No way...

Where the heck's Calibur? We meet up here, right?

I think he probably died together with Gridman.

Hey, brat. Who invited you here?

Calibur isn't dead.

Same goes for Gridman.

Huh?

Then, is Hibiki alive too?

Who in the world is that? No idea.

He's... my friend!

If he's your friend, why haven't you asked him yourself?

Ask him myself? But how?

Do you normally ask strangers how your friends are doing?

Don't you have a number of ways to contact him?

A number of ways?

There is.

I'll call him!

No, no, no...

That can't be what he means.

Hello?

He picked up!

-Seriously? -Who's this? Rikka?

Yeah. Where are you at, Hibiki?

Where? Um... I wonder where I'm at?

Yuta! Are you okay?

Utsumi?

Yeah, it's me!

It's so good to hear you!

-Shit, does that hurt! -Hand it here.

Talk to me, Calibur. Hey!

Borr?

There you are. Come back quick.

-No, not yet. -Why not?

Gridman's restored and on standby.

If that monster appears again, we'll ambush and defeat it.

But we're waiting and it's not coming.

What the heck?

Whatever. Just come back already.

Calibur!

Gridman.

We're all gathered now.

You can fight, right?

Of course.

-Yuta! -Hibiki!

Akane, you're not going to like this...

Our guest was alive after all.

You're kidding! Gridman's alive?

Though, why don't you try to enjoy it?

Isn't that what the monster's for?

That's true.

Anti!

All right.

Gridman... You're an eyesore!

I'll make you disappear!

Die! Die! Die!

This one's fast.

Perhaps I'll go.

Access code...

Battle Tracto Max!

Tanker Cannon!

Let's combine, Gridman!

Affirmative!

Heracles Combine!

Max Gridman!

What's that?

It doesn't make any sense...

What are you trying to pull?

Are you... a human?

A human? Hell no! I'm a monster!

I was born

just to crush you!

Obliterating you

is my one duty!

Then I needn't be concerned!

I will defeat you!

This is where you die!

Max...

Grid...

Beam!

It's the same attack as Anti!

I'm out of time?

Shit...

Grid... man...

I hate you...

Yuta!

Welcome back!

If you were alive, you should've said so!

Well, I didn't think a phone...

I... didn't answer your call. Sorry!

Huh?

She's going to be a handful...

Yeah.

Phones are linked to lives.

Just a sec... What's with all these people?

They're the Neon Genesis junior high students.

Allies of yours and mine.

-Allies? -Junior high students?

Yuta Hibiki.

From now on, let us fight together.

Right!

Whoa! Wow, so many people...

Are these new... customers?

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
