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"

Yes.

Yes, right. I think it'll be done shortly.

Yes.

Exactly. Could you perhaps wait a little longer?

EPISODE NINE: DAYDREAM

Oh, you're awake.

Good morning.

You had me so worried when you wouldn't wake up.

Um...

Who are you?

Are you all right?

Did you hit your head?

Do you know who you are?

You've got amnesia!

You.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

So this is where you went.

Yuta, you shouldn't be wandering off on your own since you have amnesia.

Yuta? That's my name?

Yup. Yuta Hibiki.

Mom, I'm going to take him to the hospital.

What's with all this thick fog?

Seriously...

This is...

You're always wearing it...

My watch.

How was it?

I'm not really sure, but...

They think I'll be back to normal soon.

Oh, good for you.

Well, I better head home...

Thanks for everything.

Yeah? You know where you live?

I'll take you there.

So, hey...

Why was I sleeping at your home?

On the way home from school, you collapsed and slept at my place.

What do you mean? What's our relationship?

Are we friends?

Actually, you and I are dating.

We are?

You don't remember...

No, not at all...

But I feel like I got lucky.

Cruel! How could you say that?

-Stray cat... Grey bat... -Wait!

Hey, wait up! I'm sorry!

HIBIKI

Here's where you live.

Right. Thanks.

I'm going home, then.

Oh, okay. Goodbye.

Boo.

What?

No kiss or anything?

Just kidding!

I'll see you tomorrow!

My heart stopped.

I'm home.

It's pitch black.

Losing my memory

might not be so bad, huh?

STUDENT HEALTH NEWS STRESSED OUT BY PUBERTY

INFIRMARY

Excuse me?

I'm not feeling very well...

Nobody's here.

Are you skipping too?

Shinjo?

Just call me Akane.

Those club introductions were taking too long.

Are you joining a club?

Probably not.

My middle school forced us to, so I'd rather just go home now.

I'm thinking, no club for me either.

Which middle school did you go to?

I went to Matsugasaki.

It's a secret.

What's with that?

And I thought you took everything seriously.

Oh, please.

I actually just moved to the area this spring.

Yeah?

In fact, my house is right next to yours.

You didn't notice?

What? You're kidding.

That's incredible!

What a huge coincidence!

Yup. Such a huge coincidence.

SPACESHIP

You're Utsumi, right?

Shinjo?

What's with that outfit?

I was at a relative's memorial service.

-What are you reading? -Well, that's...

Spaceship, huh?

Well, I just happened to...

Oh, Red King.

I must say, the third model is the best.

Shinjo, you like monsters?

I sure do.

No way. Let me see that...

Do you know what this is?

You mean Yadokarin?

Then what's this?

That's...

Female Majaba!

Chaos Jirak.

Gobnu Ogma?

Of course I know Gomora.

That's Gomora...

Reionic Burst.

For real?

No, I mean...

I wish I would've bought this earlier...

Ultra Mech Selection II?

I saw it in Nakano the other day.

Seriously?

Yup.

Oh, let's go there together.

Together?

SHINJO

Excuse me.

My parents aren't around, so don't worry about it.

They're not?

More like they're never around.

Oh, really? I see...

That's why I told you not to worry about it.

I have people that take care of me.

I wonder if they're here.

Alexis?

A foreigner?

Did you call for me, Miss Akane?

This is Alexis Kerib.

Greetings.

An alien?

He's totally smoking.

It's cosplay!

Cosplay?

If someone smoked like that, it'd be scary!

Oh, that's true. Yeah...

I'm sorry for surprising you.

No, it's all right. I'm sorry, too.

Rikka, you're the best. Such an honest girl.

It's finally mine!

It's a dream come true!

Glad that we came?

Yeah. I owe you big time, Shinjo.

This is the only decent Space Mammy.

How long did this series come out for?

I don't know.

I think it lasted as long as Super GUTS.

Classic Leader.

Classic Leader to the third floor trade counter, please.

I guess they made four sets of them.

Too bad there wasn't a Hexa Wing.

That's how it should have been.

Because they were made so they'd like me.

I'm glad to see it's going well.

You really think so?

Of course. I'm impressed.

The only person who can create such a magnificent monster is you.

Why is it?

Why is Gridman not appearing?

Utsumi.

Hey!

Hey, you!

What the heck?

It's useless. They just won't wake up.

That has to be the cause.

Nothing can touch the monster, but there's no damage either.

Just those three are fast asleep.

You think they're having nice dreams?

Dreams...

CHINESE CUISINE RYUTEI

What are you doing?

Hurry up.

Right.

You again?

Don't you dare come in here all soaking wet!

Get an umbrella!

Bring out Gridman.

Crushing Gridman is all that matters to me!

Unfortunately, Gridman's on vacation today.

Don't mess with me!

It's true.

Unless that monster out there is defeated,

Gridman might not appear.

All right.

That one's really straightforward.

Huh? What's that about?

I wonder if Anti changed his mind and likes Gridman now.

That's not what I mean.

Didn't you deal with him?

Sorry. He got away from me.

But wouldn't it be nice? If Gridman were gone...

Yeah.

Akane...

Akane...

Akane?

You okay?

Yeah. I just spaced out.

I like cemeteries in the summer.

Summer? But it's already October...

It feels like...

It feels like I'm forgetting something.

Of course you are. You've got amnesia.

That's true, but...

something's lacking.

What is?

It's hard to explain, but...

Who cares about any of that?

If you're having fun, what does it matter?

That's not what I meant.

I feel like there's something I have to do.

And it's even more important than me?

No.

It's important, even to you.

Something only I can do...

It's what I must do.

TONKAWA FAMILY

Don't.

Crap!

I've never bought so much in my life!

Huh? That's all you got?

Yeah, I didn't really want anything.

I see...

You know what?

I always wanted a friend like you to hang out with.

Hey, want to come over?

Didn't you say you wanted to watch Ultra Force?

I've got Ultra Coliseum, Nice, and Multicolor Q.

But...

It's okay because my parents aren't around.

You could even stay if you want.

This is wrong.

This isn't right.

So many good things in a row...

But...

Why?

It's finally summer break!

Those finals killed me, though.

Totally.

Akane, let's go somewhere this summer.

I'm down for Sea! Sea!

-Sea again? -When should we go?

Yeah, Sea.

-I've got an annual pass. -You coming too, Rikka?

I'll pass.

How come?

You have lots of friends to go with.

But you're also one of my friends.

I know that.

But...

TONKAWA FAMILY

This is a dream.

Here's your watch.

Wouldn't you rather dream forever?

Dreams are things you wake up from.

That goes for everyone.

Even you,

Shinjo.

I wish I could stay in a dream forever.

I can't join you.

Gridman is calling me.

This is a dream.

None of my friends are here.

And me?

Am I not your friend?

If you and I...

If we actually met each other like this...

I think we could've been friends.

This...

is a dream, right?

FOR SAKURAGAOKA

What's wrong with dreams?

Let's keep it going, just like this.

I can't do that.

But you have to!

I told you before.

You were born as my friend, Rikka.

And not just you, but everyone else, too.

STOP

PLEASE PRESS THIS BUTTON IF YOU WISH TO EXIT

I'm sorry.

Stopping next.

IN SERVICE

Even in dreams, I can't reach them?

Utsumi! Rikka!

Yuta! It's Yuta!

Hibiki!

I remembered everything, too!

We have something that only we can do!

Something we must do!

Isn't that right, Gridman?

Right.

I had faith and waited for you.

What?

The monster materialized.

Grid Kinesis?

Gridman woke up on the other side.

Meaning we've got to deal with this monster ourselves.

All right!

Let's shrink our output and go as four!

Access code...

-Battle Tracto Max! -Gridman Calibur!

War God Combine!

Powered Zenon!

Powered Breaker!

Powered Ax!

Jumbo Saber Slash!

What do you want?

The monster is gone now.

Why hasn't Gridman appeared?

Because there's no need to.

Gridman will not face you.

Why not?

Because you're a living being with a heart.

You're wrong.

I'm a monster!

What should I do?

What should I...

You finally woke up.

Yeah.

Where's Gridman?

Yuta, I'm right here.

Thanks, Gridman.

Because of you, we were able to come back.

But there's another...

another human who must wake up from their dream.

Shinjo...

Hey.

There's something I want all of you to hear.

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
