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"

Wow, how wonderful!

Are you going to the pool?

On a field trip. My group's going rafting.

Oh?

I don't follow.

It's a trip to the mountains where we ride down a river.

Well, that sounds fun.

I wonder...

It's outside the city, so that's more work for me.

This wouldn't have happened if you killed your teacher.

Forget him. Gridman's the problem now.

Is that so?

By the way, what's this monster?

Looks rather normal to me.

There's something I want to try out.

I knew you were enjoying this.

EPISODE FIVE: PROVOCATION

It's not here.

Where did it go?

Amnesia's such a pain.

Found it!

So hot...

Sorry! I'm late!

You're slow.

Oh, it's here. Let's go.

Okay.

Whoa...

Awesome!

Hey, check out how big this river is!

You know what?

Be surprised by the monster, not the river.

True...

Though, they're pretty much scenery when you're used to them.

I think this might be my first time riding a train.

Huh? Oh, right.

Your amnesia and all.

I'm sleepy.

Shoot, Utsumi!

The doors are closing. Please be careful.

That was a close one.

We totally fell asleep.

No way!

For real?

Eating granola won't help you lose weight.

-You're kidding... -Fasting is key. Like Ramadan.

No way, that's too hard.

All right, let's move!

Whoa.

Also, make sure to put your phones and valuables

in the lockers.

Okay.

Hold up.

You move like a sloth.

We'll start calling you Slowkawa.

-Utsumi. -Huh?

Look how pudgy you are.

Shut up!

Cut it out!

Rikka, we're going ahead!

Okay! I'll be right there!

Huh?

Can you put some on my back?

Okay.

Your skin's so pretty.

Because I stay out of the sun.

No scars or anything. I'm jealous.

Okay, I'm done.

How about the front?

Huh?

I'm just kidding.

All right, um...

Today's a perfect day for rafting, so let's enjoy it to the fullest!

Okay!

We'll start by practicing

a forward row!

So soft!

It feels so good!

Quit it, you idiots!

Squishy soft, squishy soft!

Give it a squeeze, Rikka! It's so squishy!

Not a chance.

What?

Is it really?

You're right, it feels good!

Did everyone hear all that?

We didn't!

One, two! One, two!

-One, two! One... -Good! Just like that!

Yeah! Row, row!

Row! Row! Good!

Heave ho!

I knew this would suck!

Akane? You all right?

I'm fine!

All right, everyone. Let's take a break!

What are they even doing?

Some sumo game, I guess.

Get it together, Tatsumi!

-Get it together! -Get it together!

Don't you like her?

What's this?

Not having fun?

No, that's not it.

Hm?

Everyone sure is having fun.

Yeah. And you?

Honestly, I'm not so good at things like this.

Is that so?

So even you have things that give you trouble.

Are you kidding? Of course I do.

It's just... I picture you able to do anything, so I'm surprised.

No way. I'm nothing like that.

A while ago, like, first semester was going well for me, but...

lately, it's just one bad thing after another.

Lately?

Yeah. Just recently.

Nothing's going how I want it to.

People problems, and such?

Well, it's not just that.

There are so many things I have to do.

Things I must do...

That's right.

Things only I can do, what I must do.

We've both got it rough!

How's your memory? Has it come back?

No, not yet.

-Not at all? -No.

I see, that must be rough.

Yeah, but it's not terrible.

-I hope you remember soon. -Yeah.

-You're transforming, right? -Yeah.

Huh?

What do you mean?

See you!

Huh?

I knew I wasn't wrong. That settles it!

Ah, hello, Alexis?

Yeah, please do!

Very well! Instance Abreaction!

It's ringing! Don't tell me...

What? What?

NATURE PRESERVATION AREA SPECIAL PROTECTION ZONE

Just in case, get away from the river!

The mountain's moving.

It's a monster!

That has to be a monster, right?

It's big like a mountain.

No.

It is a mountain.

Huh? Where's Shinjo?

Right! Yup, yup!

To think we can overwhelm him using sheer mass. I'm impressed!

I know it's cheap to scale up, but our guest is being cheap too.

You're up, Gridman.

How will you fight a monster of this size?

We have...

too much time.

Do any of you actually work at all?

Hey, do you actually work?

We work, and we don't work.

Seriously?

Sheesh!

With this much free time

you should've gone with them on the field trip.

With them?

Rikka and the guys went on a field trip.

Field trip?

Shoot. What now? We have to call Gridman!

But without Junk here, I can't combine with Gridman!

There's no way we can get to the shop in time!

Then we've got to ring Max!

Right! They can bring Junk to us!

Hurry up and--

Uh...

We don't have our phones.

They're in the lockers.

We've got to get them, but...

But it's that way, right?

It's that way, all right.

This way! Get in the cars!

I have to go!

I'm going too! We're the Gridman Alliance!

Rikka, escape with the others!

Let's go, Utsumi!

Rikka, hurry!

What the heck are they doing?

Go this way! There should be a road there.

Right!

Rikka!

Akane Shinjo?

Yeah, I didn't see her back there.

She might be lost.

It's not what you think!

Shinjo's not the only one I'm worried about, okay?

You're transforming, right?

He's so slow.

Why hasn't Gridman shown up yet?

Shit! Didn't think it'd be this far!

They said it was a five-kilometer course!

Five kilometers?

Look!

A phone!

Now we can call them!

You need coins for a public phone!

Leave it to me!

Lucky I came with you!

-Yeah! -Nice. Call them!

Uh... I don't know the number...

Me neither.

Hey!

-Rikka! -Rikka!

If it's our shop's phone number, I've got you covered!

Hello, Mom?

All right. We'll come at once.

I'd like to buy something.

How much for this?

Huh?

Let's see...

37,429 yen.

-Pricey! -Pricey!

Everyone, dish it out!

Ooh!

Keep the receipt.

They're bringing Junk to the station.

Thanks!

Great, let's head to the station!

It's been long enough since the monster appeared.

So why isn't Gridman showing up?

Huh? What the heck...

This totally sucks.

Hm?

Why are you here?

Gridman hasn't appeared yet...

Get on.

Are you serious?

Figures that we need to hurry.

I guess that's the only way through.

But...

Hibiki, you go ahead.

But...

Seems like I'm only holding you back.

If you don't get there, there's no point.

Go ahead. I'll be right behind you.

All right.

Utsumi...

I'm going ahead!

Right!

I have to hurry.

Wake up!

Why were you sleeping?

You were the one sleeping, not me.

-You were too! -I slept well.

Unload Junk, quick!

That was way too close.

I wonder if Yuta reached the station yet.

Isn't that his?

You're kidding...

Wow.

Now that's an inferno.

They're so late, and we came all the way here.

Time is...

Hey!

Wear some damn clothes.

He's here.

Thanks for coming!

Let's connect Junk.

Did we really just do that?

We have to do what we have to do.

Where is this?

I'll explain later! Are you ready, Gridman?

Of course! Let's fight together, Yuta!

Thanks, but the monster is way bigger than normal.

Can you be as big as the monster?

Even at my largest output size, my limit is 70 meters.

Plus, the larger I am, the more energy is expended.

We couldn't maintain the Access Flash for long.

What to do...

Hey!

I'll lend you a hand, so get moving.

Right!

Access... Flash!

Access code...

Buster Borr!

It's Gridman!

Hibiki was all right!

Finally, he's here!

Shit! The ground is so crappy, I can hardly move!

Talk about surprisingly delicate, eh?

Forest Extinguisher Missile!

Go!

No matter how big the enemy is,

we will not lose!

It stinks.

Gridman!

Today's the day I defeat you!

It's you again?

It's me again!

Today's the day!

Today's the day I kill you, Gridman!

No falling out this time, huh?

Sydney Super Adhesive Missile!

What is this? I can't move!

You sit quiet there for a bit.

Let's combine while we can!

Right!

Full Armor Combine!

Buster Gridman!

Hm?

He combined with another one of those toys!

Buster Grid Missile!

Don't get full of yourself!

Oh, he ripped off Borr's missiles.

A copy ability?

Disappear! Disappear!

Disappear without a trace!

Forget the small fry!

Let's scorch the big one with unlimited firepower!

Right!

Twin Buster...

Grid...

-Beam! -Beam!

Disappear! Disappear!

Disappear! Disappear...

I guess that just happened.

I see how it is.

Good work.

I didn't even get a chance to show off the drill.

The drill's just for show.

Hibiki!

Yuta!

Thank goodness. I was so worried!

Thanks.

We managed somehow with everyone's help.

Yup! Better be thankful for my drills!

Let's put our strengths together and fight!

By the way, where is this?

I'm glad I had spare change today.

What's he doing here?

We were worried sick about you!

You three ran here?

Sorry...

We sort of got lost.

Hey, Rikka, my friend...

You were hanging around guys again dressed like that?

I don't want to hear it anymore.

She's gone. Shinjo's nowhere to be seen.

If you're looking for Akane, she left on the last train.

They're already up and running.

Can you believe that monster? It's the first I've seen!

I guess they do show up.

Why is it that monsters only keep appearing around them?

Where is it they're coming from?

It's no surprise that he's tired.

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
