Original subtitles

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"

Why does he always get in my way?

And get stronger every time...

Even I don't know the true form of our guest.

However,

you do have a clue, don't you?

Yeah. Yuta Hibiki.

I've got a feeling that he's Gridman, but...

No way to know for sure...

Then, we'll have to confirm it somehow.

However, with care...

EPISODE FOUR: SUSPICION

I can't do it. I'll melt.

I'll take the bus.

Morning!

Uh... Morning.

Do you always ride the bus?

On days like this, yeah.

The sun would scorch me.

Me too.

I feel like it's been a long while.

What has?

You know, our houses are pretty close,

and we used to walk together in the mornings.

But lately, we haven't talked that much, I guess.

You think so? I never really noticed.

-Departing. Please hold on. -Departing.

These days, you've been talking to Yuta a lot, right? Why?

What? I wouldn't say it's like that. It's normal.

Did you not hear what I said? I asked why.

Next is Tsutsujidai High School.

In front of the used books and media store, Bashar.

-Stopping next. -Just kidding!

What the heck!

Rikka!

What?

Rikka, you're free Saturday, right?

You're free, right?

What's this about?

Arcadia promised to hang out with us!

-Isn't that awesome? I'm stoked! -What's this Arcadia?

You don't know?

Didn't you watch the video?

What video?

This is Heisei's last utopia.

-Arcadia here! -What's up.

Arcadia's topic of the day is...

-Heard of cheese fondue? -I have.

Today we're going be to testing the limits of cheese fondue.

Isn't it sick?

Not only Takato's coming, but Yamato too! It's a miracle!

I still don't know them.

You'll come too, Rikka, right?

We said there'll be four of us!

-But I-- -Yeah?

Maybe I should go too then?

Seriously?

If Akane came, we'd be unbeatable!

Wait, who are you fighting?

-The evil beasts, of course! -You're going, right?

You're crazy.

Of course.

Here are your two sets. Thanks for waiting.

Did something good happen to her?

No idea.

Rikka, something good happen?

No. Nothing in particular.

But next Saturday, I was invited to go out with some people.

I don't know, with some college guys

or someone like that?

Together with Namiko, Hass, and Akane.

-That's totally a group date! -That's totally a group date!

It's been ages since I hung out with Akane.

Here.

Thank you very much.

-That seemed a bit dangerous there. -Really? You think so?

-Does Rikka prefer older guys? -Let's try to be careful.

What's wrong, Yuta? You seem troubled.

No, I'm not. I don't know what you're talking about.

This can't be. It can't be!

Akane Shinjo, on a group date?

What? I thought you didn't like Akane.

Never said that. I said she was unapproachable.

Why would such a beautiful and miraculous girl

go on a group date with worthless college boys? What are girls...

You guys are pathetic.

So pathetic.

If you care so much, tag along.

-Or you'll be too late. -Too late?

Yuta. No matter how fierce the enemy is,

we must face them and fight!

Gridman thinks we should too?

Should we go? Let's go!

We'll go in secret!

What are those two getting worked up about?

I'm sure it's stupid.

-I'm Takato. -Imai.

Arii.

Yamato.

Hass, as you know.

I'm Namiko.

Nice to meet you.

I'm not sure if I can handle this.

Me too.

You both coming too?

Let's go.

Right.

Akane Shinjo's totally smiling! It's no fair!

Calm down, Utsumi!

-Let's go! -Yeah!

Do you guys get tons of paid promotions?

-Never stuff we don't like. -First year in high school?

-We're old guys at 21. -Yeah, kind of.

No way, you're not old guys at all!

I'm not following this at all.

Hey, you get along pretty well with Yuta, don't you?

Oh, I don't know.

I talk to him more than before, I guess.

There's something I want to ask.

Hey, hey.

-You two go to the same school, right? -Yeah.

-Who asked for ginger ale? -Your uniforms are different.

-Our school is pretty lax about that. -Yeah?

-You're so obnoxious. -Hey, Akane.

Oh, I know! Let's make a group.

Good idea!

Okay, I'll make it!

So, I was asking about Yuta--

What?

Akane, that icon of yours is super cute!

Is that an Alien Baltan?

Oh, I picked it at random, so I don't know.

Yeah?

Alien Baltan, that brings back memories.

Remember that laugh?

-That's how they cry. -These old guys.

I'm so sorry!

I've got to get home for curfew!

What? So early!

I'm really sorry, but I'm out of time!

I'll see you around!

What?

What?

This sucks.

I wonder what room Rikka's in.

We must find them fast!

You two would make excellent stalkers.

For these things...

Whoa, Calibur! You can't do that!

Aren't we searching for someone?

But you're doing it wrong!

Crap, hide!

I wonder why she had to leave.

Ah, Akane's like a princess.

Well, let's go to the next place without her.

They're about to move locations!

-Nah, we're done here. -What?

-Akane Shinjo went home already. -What?

KARAOKE ARENA

Okay. Break up, break up.

Because stalking is a serious crime.

See you later.

What? Aw, come on.

What?

Out of my way!

Well, whatever...

You know what?

There are four people I want you to kill for me.

I refuse. I was born to defeat Gridman.

Unless it's Gridman, I won't kill--

I completely lost track of them.

What if I'm too late

and Rikka's already...

What are you doing?

Have you lost your way?

Welcome back, Akane.

Have you made progress on...

Doing it like I have been won't cut it anymore.

I lost my memory and it won't come back.

If you're just pretending to have memory loss, you really suck.

I think I said something to Rikka,

but I can't remember anything now.

So...

Do you like the girl?

No, that's not what I'm...

Don't you like her?

Don't you like her?

Yeah, probably...

Probably, huh?

It's truly vexing, watching you.

But... it's not bad.

Yo, what's up, Imai?

It's awful! Arii was... Arii was...

What, what? What happened?

That was odd.

Wait!

What the...? What the...? What the...?

Sunday!

You all seem to be getting along nicely today.

Who invited you to hang out with them? Go somewhere else.

Wow, your puberty's showing.

It's fine, right?

Look, some customers.

-Hey, Cali, is that a real sword? -Oh, it's just Yuta.

-Yeah. -Sorry to intrude.

-So, is it domestic? -Domestic?

Going somewhere?

Yeah.

What?

It's nothing.

Yuta! Hurry up and grab a seat!

Coming!

See you later!

Where are you going?

-I promised my friends I'd come. -Oh, scary.

I can't believe her.

She couldn't care less about the Gridman Alliance, right?

Promise...

It sucks that we split up so early last night.

Shit, if only Akane stayed a bit longer.

Yeah, I wanted to talk with her too.

Well, I wanted to talk with Yamato more.

Me too.

This is Heisei's last utopia.

Arcadia here.

Let's get on to today's video.

Let's do a question corner.

What? Where are the other three?

What? What's that mean?

I thought Arcadia was four people.

It's always been one.

It's a monster.

The three disappeared and now it's reset.

But why would they have been targeted?

HASS ARCADIA NAMIKO

At least I know Namiko and Hass are safe.

Thanks for coming yesterday. Oh, hey...

Are you doing okay?

Thank goodness.

That just leaves...

Sorry, I just remembered I have an errand to run.

See you later!

"Sorry, I just remembered I have an errand to run."

Does she think she's in some old drama?

Are you not going out today?

I have to go shopping eventually, but...

Are you troubled, Yuta?

Yeah. Ever since yesterday.

Is it something I can help you with?

I'm your ally, Yuta.

Thanks, but this is my own problem.

If only my memory came back...

The same goes for me.

For some reason or another, I can't remember the past.

However, what I do know is my mission.

To save this city from the approaching danger.

Hey, what's up?

Wasn't expecting to hear from you.

What?

I don't exactly know how to put this,

but I think maybe your friends were targeted and then disappeared.

So you're probably in danger next!

Sorry, you totally lost me.

I figured as much.

If you want to talk, that's fine.

Let's go somewhere nearby.

That's not exactly why I came.

What's that sound?

-I knew it'd come after you. -What?

Come on, we have to run!

Hold up, Rikka!

You're in danger!

Yeah, right. From what?

What's this? What the...? What the...? What the...?

Yeah, caught him!

Rikka, you should get out of there!

What the...? It won't come off! Shit! What's happening?

Let's go.

It's him again!

He's probably one of Gridman's comrades.

Hello?

All right. A monster has appeared.

-It attacked the college boy and Rikka. -What?

They're fine at the moment.

Thank goodness.

A monster that even I couldn't sense?

Is the monster adapting to deal with us? In that case, there's something...

-Not the shin! -Shut up and save it for later.

-Yuta! -All right!

Let's do it, Gridman!

Access...

Flash!

What? They already found it?

Gridman!

Another came! It's two versus one!

Ew, that's a pain.

Calibur.

I know you just got back, but Gridman needs help.

-All right. -Seriously?

Let's all lend a hand.

Even me too?

Access code.

-Battle Tracto Max! -Gridman Calibur!

Out of the way! I'm going to crush him!

What the...?

What are you doing, Anti?

The monster had a falling out!

It's one of those situations!

Here's our chance!

They stopped!

I think they froze up like a computer.

This Junk just can't handle it!

Crap, he's done for! What do we do?

-Restarting it might work. -Hey!

You can't just do that!

I can't?

What have you done?

Don't blame me.

It's not booting up!

Hey, don't kick it!

It's not a CRT!

What? What happened?

This person cut the power to Junk.

But it's on now, so no big deal?

That seemed to have caused interference.

So we can't sortie all four of you at once?

Then who's the strongest one of all?

What?

Where are you? Where'd you go, Gridman?

Right here!

Where?

Let's do it, Gridman!

Heracles Combine!

Max Gridman!

There's not enough energy!

No problem!

Super Lightning...

Kick!

Prepare to die,

Gridman!

That was close this time.

-Yeah. -Welcome back.

Nice work.

Um, thanks.

I think we won because of you, Rikka.

You know it!

Wish I could've seen all of you appear at once.

You did nothing, though...

So, hey...

How did it go Saturday night?

I shouldn't have gone in the first place.

We split up after not too long.

So Namiko and Hass were complaining to me at a restaurant.

Yeah?

No. I can't let up and relax!

Just go for it, me!

So, do you want to maybe grab some food?

Yeah, I do! I'm practically starving.

Seriously?

But I don't know if all of us will fit anywhere nearby.

I think we're limited to skewers or a buffet...

Go figure...

You two are truly vexing to watch.

Hello? It's Yamato.

So I'm planning my next video.

Hello? What? Akane?

Jeez, I have zero motivation to go to school!

You really worked hard this time.

-Which means... -Don't worry.

It's true, I've been on edge lately.

But now, when I start thinking about how I'll crush Gridman,

I get so excited, I can't help it!

As long as you're having fun, I'm enjoying it too.

It's another bus day.

Is she not coming?

HASS ARCADIA NAMIKO

Why do monsters only appear around where I'm at?

Is it because of me?

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
