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"

CLASSIC LITERATURE PROFICIENCY TEST SUMMER COURSE CLASSIC LITERATURE TO-DO

Attention, students...

Kousaku Sakamoto from Class 3C, come to the staff room immediately.

Akane Shinjo is a god?

Sorry, you're making no sense.

I couldn't believe it at the time either.

That's what the girl told me.

The girl?

Yeah, she looked like a middle schooler...

except, her true form's a monster.

I'm going to smack you.

No, I'm serious.

I'm telling you, it's the truth!

I'm disgusted by this story of yours.

Disgusted.

Akane Shinjo is using monsters to destroy the city

and fix the city.

She's done that many times now.

Outside this city, nothing's there.

When you say nothing's there, what do you expect?

Yeah, but... Well...

Listen to yourself.

You believe everything this so-called monster girl said?

So, Akane is making these monsters and rebuilding the city?

Yeah, look!

Those monsters that don't attack probably do it.

Okay, but what does that have to do with Shinjo? There's no connection.

Well, what if Shinjo likes monsters or something?

There's no way.

High school girls couldn't care less about monsters.

Yeah, no way.

But that's not all! The blue monster that always appears...

So, I'm kind of giving a school tour...

-Sorry. -Sorry.

Keep it down.

Shoot, the bell rang!

For crying out loud, now he's mad at us.

Just listen to me, would you?

EPISODE SEVEN: TACTICS

So, what does that mean?

If you can't find your own identity,

then it's impossible to describe who you are as a person.

Say, for example...

What's wrong?

No, it's nothing.

It's no use.

It's so far out there, I can't even ask.

What now?

What to do...

-Why are you here at school? -Wait!

I don't care about you. Bring out Gridman!

I can't!

Unless some monster shows up, Gridman won't appear!

Unless some monster shows up?

Crap!

If he transforms into a monster here...

He ran?

What exactly... is he after?

What in the world are you doing here?

I want to crush Gridman.

Once he shows up, I can become a monster on my own will.

Was that how it's set up?

I can't remember...

Give me the order! To crush him!

That way, Gridman will show...

You're too loud. We're at school, you know.

Don't do anything stupid again.

So...

In order to eliminate the imperfect things that she doesn't like,

she makes monsters...

Destroys the city and resets it again...

That's what the monster girl told you, right?

Too far-fetched?

Too far-fetched. For starters...

No, I saw the girl as well.

Yuta wasn't lying.

She did seem rather mysterious.

What do you think?

I think nothing.

If she's in your class, just ask her directly.

I tried that today, but it didn't go very well.

Why don't you ask instead?

No way. I'm not bringing up that ridiculous story.

Utsumi, you go ask her.

Give me a break.

What are your thoughts, Gridman?

Sorry, I don't know either.

You don't remember any monster girl?

I have no information regarding her.

I see...

Gridman is far from complete right now.

Not that we have any room to talk.

That settles it. I'll ask Shinjo tomorrow.

Monsters born from a person's heart...

The girl said that, too!

That the monsters are born from Shinjo's heart.

From Shinjo's heart...

Is that sort of thing possible?

In the Ultra Series, that's totally fair game.

Oh, talking to myself!

If only I could meet her again, I might understand what's going on.

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow, I'll find out from Shinjo for sure.

What?

Shinjo?

Welcome home, Mr. Gridman.

How did you get in?

A key?

Hey, do you have anything to drink?

I'm so thirsty.

Just tea...

BUCKWHEAT TEA

I'll turn on the AC.

Huh?

No need for that. After all, I'm...

A god, right?

Huh? You knew!

That'll make things easy.

It smells like Hibiki.

Hey, want to join me?

Stop pretending you don't know.

I'm saying we join forces.

Become my ally.

It'll be a lot of fun with a god.

You can do whatever you want.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Sorry, but I can't join you.

Why not?

Because I have something I must do.

My precious friends live in this city.

I can't betray my friends.

Friends? Am I not your friend?

That's...

Hey, walk me home.

It's late out.

This city's jam-packed with useless things.

-Really? -Really.

So, you destroy the useless things with monsters?

You destroy what you don't like and rebuild?

You're really doing that?

Oh, you knew about that, too!

As expected of Gridman.

How are you making monsters?

Are they really born from your heart?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Hello. It's me.

Yeah, so, hey... Could you come?

I'll introduce you to someone.

You haven't eaten, right?

They said it's their treat.

Next time, I'll give it to her.

HASS INCOMING CALL

Yeah?

Rikka!

What's up?

We hand in our literature notes tomorrow, right?

Oh, yeah. You want to copy?

Exactly, Rikka! You're the best!

A god disguised as a high schooler!

Yeah, yeah.

So, where are we meeting?

CHINESE CUISINE RYUTEI

This is...

Let's go.

DAILY MENU ALL 500 YEN

Welcome!

I wonder what to get...

Oh, excuse me?

I want pork belly fried rice, plus shrimp in chili,

six of those black sesame dumpling things, plus...

What else...

Do you have tomato juice?

Grand Knight Beam Blade!

It's okay.

Let's eat.

So intent on finishing me off, are we?

-If you say so... -What a frightening scientist.

This isn't poisoned or anything, is it?

Yup, it's exactly as you're thinking.

The girl that lived here... I had my monster erase her for me.

Why? What did that girl ever do to...

Special dog.

The bread I gave you.

Those girls went and smashed it!

I was like, you've got to be kidding me...

Huh?

Huh? You don't remember?

That's not...

For that reason? That's why?

Yeah.

But when someone dies, there are others who suffer, too!

Like families and friends.

Yeah, that's possible.

Oh, they're here!

Hello, hello. I'm Alexis Kerib.

I'm sorry for coming so late.

You must be Yuta Hibiki.

I've heard much about you from Akane.

It's an alien.

This person is...

You're the one who wanted to know how I made monsters.

He's always working so hard for me.

No, no...

I do nothing more than make Akane's designs come to life.

Your black sesame dumplings.

Oh, looks delicious...

What's even their goal?

Something wrong, Yuta Hibiki?

Go ahead and help yourself.

Oh, right.

Excuse me? Could we get another napkin?

Oh, thanks.

Why are you late? I called a while back.

Sorry, something came up

and I had a late start.

You're pulling my leg...

-No, for real. -A monster?

Huh?

It's not one of those days.

No, but...

If I say there isn't one, there isn't one.

Sit down.

If it bothers you, see for yourself.

Thanks for the meal!

What is that?

Whoa! Awesome, what's that?

That's totally a UFO.

Sorry, I have to use the restroom.

That was sudden!

Yuta, it's an alien craft!

Yeah, the alien invasion is here!

CHINESE CUISINE RYUTEI

No way...

Alexis! What's the meaning--

Oh, he's here!

Yuta, hurry!

Sorry! I was meeting someone!

Gridman!

Let's go, Yuta!

Right!

Access...

Flash!

Why is it not attacking?

It's just going to float there?

Look out!

Grid Beam!

Welcome back, Akane.

What gives? What's that UFO thing?

That's a monster from a plan Anti devised.

You let Anti make a monster? Why?

Because Anti despises Gridman much more than you do.

The stronger the hatred, the stronger a monster is born.

Grid...

Beam!

There's no end to this!

Aren't they in trouble?

All right!

Borr's long-distance attacks will-- Ass!

The Grid Beam didn't work, so me going out there won't change a thing!

Let the flier go at it.

That's smart.

Good idea.

We're talking to you!

Oh, me?

Yeah, yeah...

Access Code...

Sky Vitter.

Sorry, I'm late, Gridman!

Right! Vit!

Empyrean Combine...

Sky Gridman!

Let's fly, Gridman!

Strange...

I sense nothing from the UFO.

Okay, but what does that mean?

It means this might be a trap.

Lucky Smoke Screen!

Grid...

Above?

There!

This must be the main body!

I've been waiting for you, Gridman!

He's flying!

He's copying off us again!

Eat this, Gridman!

That's...

What in the world?

Outside this city, nothing's there.

A city?

A city in the sky?

What does this mean?

The things Yuta heard from that girl may be true after all.

Then Akane really is...

How is this even possible?

Wait.

If there really is some alien...

You're mine!

You sure about that?

Gridknight Saber Slash!

Not so fast!

Laser Circus Amp!

I guess Anti was no good after all.

The only one able to make true monsters

is the one who's a true human, you.

Yeah.

Something only I can do...

As for that pathetic Anti, let me discipline him.

Please do.

And don't let anyone in this room.

You met an alien?

And Akane was there, too?

Yeah.

Shinjo... with an alien?

Plus, there's a city like a ceiling in the sky.

What's all this mean?

A god, aliens, and a city in the sky?

This is, like, too much to handle.

Then the source of approaching danger may be Akane Shinjo and this Alexis Kerib.

If monsters are born from Shinjo's heart, then fighting isn't my only mission.

For us and Gridman, there's even more that we must do.

Anti, may I have a moment?

You did so well out there. Let me give you your reward.

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
