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"

Everyone who lives here loves everything about me.

That's why you and I are friends, Rikka.

I was born already as your friend?

You were made to be my friend when you were made by my monster.

EPISODE TEN: DESTRUCTION

No way. My parents gave birth to me.

Yeah, I want to think that, too.

The city and everyone in it were born by the monster Akane made...

And there's nothing outside the city.

Nonsense. We went rafting.

She made it for us.

That whole area...

Okay, but I've got relatives in Inagi.

And for my third year of middle school, we went to Kyoto...

What if those memories were created, too?

With all that's been going on, I can't trust my own memories anymore.

Like, since we never noticed the monsters all over until Hibiki brought it up.

Akane Shinjo

is the god of this city?

Crap! It's gone.

Is it mixed in with your stuff?

I said it's not.

What you looking for?

Wish we were in the festival...

There's always next year.

Aren't you picking science next year, Tonkawa?

We'll be in different classes.

We can just participate as a group.

Why are those girls here?

What can five people even do?

Yeah, just five is no good.

Hey. Want in with us, Akane?

I had...

a dream.

Real humans don't actually sleep.

More importantly, make your next monster already.

Why is it that I have to make monsters again?

Akane Shinjo made everything in this city?

And we've got no choice but to live here?

Whining about it isn't going to solve anything!

Yeah, but...

Let's go.

To Shinjo's place.

Agreed.

Straight to her house?

Yeah, straight to her house.

We don't know what danger may be waiting for us there.

If Shinjo is really being used by an alien,

we have to go.

Yeah.

She's not home?

Let's check.

Hey, whoa!

Seriously?

What the...?

What in the world?

She fled.

Where to?

Why isn't anything going my way?

I even know Gridman's true colors...

I wonder what took Gridman so long to appear that time.

Aren't midterms next week?

And the regionals, too, so I'm screwed.

You think she's okay?

Akane's been out for a week now.

Hey. Is Akane still taking off?

I guess her cold's still ongoing.

So, all of you, try to stay healthy.

Let's get started.

Stand!

Attention! Bow!

The days without monsters go on.

It's a good thing.

It's bad, I'm sure.

Bad?

If Akane Shinjo is gone, what happens to us?

What happens?

Nothing, probably.

For now, maybe.

But without Shinjo here, everything, including us,

might suddenly disappear for good.

Aren't you overthinking it?

Utsumi?

And that was that.

So that's why Utsumi didn't come.

Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it.

If what's causing the resets is some monster beyond the fog...

The only ones not affected must be Gridman and us.

It's not fog.

If memories are being tampered with, it's a poisonous nerve gas.

A poison smoke monster...

Then is Shinjo the reason my memories are gone, too?

If she could do that,

wouldn't it be easy for her to beat Gridman?

We came to the world that Akane Shinjo created.

We arrived here in an incomplete state and then met Yuta.

At that point, I'd lost my memories.

I just don't understand.

There are just too many mysteries.

I wonder where Akane went.

SAFETY FIRST

Seeing as how we can combine into Full Powered Gridman,

it's likely we were originally one entity.

Meaning we were separate before coming here?

I think it's more like we were separated.

By whom?

Alexis Kerib.

I think...

the danger Gridman spoke of still remains.

Akane, what's the matter with you?

Are you in a slump, perhaps?

You're finished?

You're fine with this one?

I repeat.

There's a special broadcast meeting after school.

Huh? Are you good now, Utsumi?

With what?

You weren't at the shop yesterday either.

Yeah, I was studying.

For the midterm exams.

There's no knowing when a monster will show up,

but our test dates are set in stone.

True.

Right?

Even if this is Akane Shinjo's world,

as long as we're living here, there are certain things we have to do.

Our lives are more than just about fighting monsters.

I get that, but...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You know?

What's with that?

He's just better because it's a new week.

I see...

Well, I'm just glad he's fine now.

I wonder why Shinjo created this city.

Because it's a place where it's easy for Akane to live.

She wanted tranquility.

For a world she made to live easy in, she sure seems suffocated by it.

Don't gods have a world of their own?

Maybe Akane escaped here from the world of gods.

She doesn't come off as that weak to me.

It's not that she's weak. Akane is sensitive.

I hope there's no monster tomorrow either.

Yeah.

You're after Gridman, aren't you?

That's right.

You lose and live on, eating and bathing,

despite being a monster.

If I don't stay alive, I can't beat Gridman.

Beat him and then what?

That face says you've never thought about it.

One who blurs the line between monsters and humans will never win.

I...

I live only to crush Gridman!

That's everything to me!

Yeah, I felt it here, too.

I thought as much...

Another monster?

That means...

Get out of here, guys! A monster is coming!

A monster?

They seem to be having fun...

I knew it.

Shinjo must be somewhere in the city.

We're all here. Let's all go.

Hyperlink Combine!

Full Powered Gridman!

Breast Spark!

Is that it?

What the heck? So puny...

Stay alert! The fight isn't over yet!

So that's how it is.

You guessed it!

Fully unscathed?

You're so stubborn!

When will you get sick of losing?

I'll keep on fighting until I crush Gridman!

Full Power Charge!

Yeah! A copycat like you will never win!

Why...

won't you kill me?

Why?

That monster

was weird, don't you think?

The corpse is still there.

Why hold back the final blow?

No, I defeated it.

Wrong.

Not that one, but the annoying guy who always interferes.

That's...

Because he's no ordinary monster.

Meaning?

He studied humans

and got too close to them.

He's a living being with a heart now.

Gridman won't steal the lives of the living.

Aren't monsters living things?

Monsters are like the malice of Akane Shinjo

and thus don't have lives.

But he was born with hatred for Gridman from the start.

He must have become a living being from a monster.

Lost again.

Do monsters live and die for the sole purpose of being defeated?

Long time no see. Still hanging in there?

Remember this place?

It's where I treated you to a meal when you first defeated Gridman.

Why?

Why give life to a monster like me?

You're not a monster anymore.

Why not?

Because monsters can't read people's feelings.

You came looking for me, right?

The thing is, monsters don't go out of their way for people.

They ruin people's lives by just existing.

That's a monster.

I don't like monsters that resemble people.

See? Those eyes...

You have eyes like a human's.

And your eyes are...

Don't look.

Go somewhere.

Wherever you like.

I knew you were a failed creation.

Looks like something came out from inside.

Is this okay?

Is this okay?

Is this okay?

Everyone in my city is dead?

Those city custodian monsters, you can just make them again.

What's going on?

I don't know, but another monster came out of the earlier one's corpse.

That monster attacked the monster beyond the fog.

And so, the fog has cleared up.

-Those scenery monsters are dead? -Yeah.

I checked their bodies.

Let's go, Gridman!

Right. We'll crush it with full power!

Access Flash!

Access code...

-Battle Tracto Max! -Gridman Calibur!

Hyperlink Combine. Full Powered Gridman!

What's your problem?

You'll pay for that!

Isn't it, like, too strong?

It's different from any monster before.

I can't read its movements!

Shoot!

What is that thing?

This is bad. It's after Gridman!

Gridman's in trouble...

Run, Hibiki!

It's him!

He helped Gridman?

You...

Why are you fighting for me?

Go somewhere.

Wherever you like.

There was a reason I was given life.

I'll find it.

I...

I was born to crush you!

And I live on to crush you!

In order to crush you,

I will fight...

together with you!

He copied Gridman.

A second Gridman?

It's a fake.

No...

This one is the real deal.

I feel it...

This is Akane Shinjo's heart itself.

Because monsters can't read people's feelings.

But I can read her heart.

In that case...

He's got them!

I can see right through you, Akane Shinjo!

The knight who protected Gridman...

Gridknight.

So that explains it.

Akane?

I thought Hibiki was Gridman, but I was a little off.

This is how you transformed into Gridman.

I had no idea

that you needed this old computer.

Are you saying...

that even gods don't know everything?

Of course. Tell me, Utsumi.

Do you remember every last thing you've thrown out?

This shop is a collection of things people don't need anymore, right?

Shinjo,

can't you see that you're being used by that alien?

So--

I, too...

wanted to talk with Gridman.

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
