What is it you seek?

Why do you wander?

Why were you born?

And why do you live?

Believe that it is to protect something

With the strange powers that you have inherited

In the darkness

I search for something I have lost

In the flow of time

I await the light that will soon come

I dream that we might one day

Meet again

I don't... believe it...

This just in.

Earlier, shortly after 4 AM,

a large explostion rocked the head office of Max Pharmaceuticals in Odaiba, Tokyo.

Our own reporter, Ms. Takeyama, is live on the scene.

"Max Building Ablaze (Odaiba)" Our own reporter, Ms. Takeyama, is live on the scene.

Ms. Takeyama, what is the situation there right now?

Takeyama here. Take a look behind me.

Black smoke is billowing out of the Max Pharmaceuticals head office building,

darkening the morning sky. It's an unbelievable sight to behold.

I'm currently reporting from Rainbow Bridge,

as the danger of secondary explosions prevents us from getting any closer.

A statement from Max Pharmaceuticals

says that the cause of the explosion is under investigation,

but Police Headquarters believes this could be the work of terrorist extremists

and is proceeding with a rigorous investigation of its own.

What effect has the explosion had on the surrounding area?

Have you been able to learn anything?

Yes! Because it occurred in the early hours of the morning,

there are, fortunately, no reports of harm to motorists or passersby.

However, as to whether there were any security staff or late-night overtimers in the building...

So he's back.

Sho...

Even the scar from when I got burned as a kid is still there.

I remember everything so clearly, but...

A clone?

Yeah, say some of your cells were still on the control metal

and you were reconstructed from those. It adds up, right?

After all, the Guyver can regenerate as soon as it's injured.

A clone... Is that what I am?

This just doesn't feel real at all.

What the heck is going on?

What's gonna happen to me now?

Sho? Are you awake?

Yeah...

Breakfast is ready.

You going to eat?

Uh, yeah. I'll be down in a minute.

Okay, don't let your miso soup get cold.

No, no, I'll do it.

So about last night...

Did you make sure to eat dinner?

There's leftovers from last night too, if you like.

Oh, thanks.

Is something wrong with the soup?

Nah, it's good.

I'd say it tastes the same as always.

Well, of course it does!

What's the matter? You're acting kind of funny.

You think so?

I guess I am strange, huh?

You're probably worn out.

I've been putting in a lot of overtime myself lately.

Last night I fell asleep right here at the table.

Oh, uh, about last night, I'm sorry I couldn't call or anything...

There's something else. I had a dream.

Huh?

It was about your mother.

She was over there washing the dishes.

And I was here reading the paper.

Then you came running down the hall. You were about three years old,

and you grabbed hold of your mother's leg all of a sudden.

She laughed and said, "Now, you go play with your father."

Then you came over here and climbed up into my lap.

I was stroking your little head when I suddenly thought,

"Wait a minute, Sho's already in high school!"

And that's when I woke up.

"Ahh," I thought, "only a dream, huh?"

But there was something warm, something like your mother's scent

that lingered in the air.

I remember what Mom smelled like.

--You do? --Yeah...

When I think back to my childhood,

Mom's scent seems to come to mind naturally,

even though it's been ten years already.

Sho...

Do you remember your mother's funeral?

Yeah...

You wouldn't let anyone see you cry.

Some of the relatives said things like, "It still hasn't sunk in that his mother's dead,"

or "He's a cold little boy, isn't he?"

But I know.

When the funeral was over and everyone had gone,

you stood alone in front of that picture of your mother and cried.

You saw that?!

Yeah...

You were trying to protect me, weren't you?

I was emotionally drained after we lost your mother,

and you didn't want to add to my sorrow by crying in front of me.

That was your thinking, wasn't it?

I really don't know. I was just a kid...

Even Iwamoto, your homeroom teacher in elementary school,

said you were passive and a little weak.

But that's not it at all. You're a strong kid.

I know that very well.

Listen, I'm still your father, so if something's troubling you...

Dad! This is really good!

Thanks for the food.

Looks like he's not going to talk to me about it.

Honey...

You're leaving early today.

Yeah, I should be able to get home at the usual time.

Oh, you don't have to go out of your way and make dinner.

It's no problem. I'll be sure to make it.

Okay, well, see you.

Yeah!

Are you sure you're all right?

You don't have to come hang out if you don't want to.

No, it's okay.

I can't make Mizuki worry about me more than she already does.

If you say so.

Oh yeah, have you watched any TV?

Every station is covering the explosion.

Uh... Don't worry, though!

They haven't reported anything about us.

"Neighborhood Crime Watch in Progress" They haven't reported anything about us.

"On patrol"

Mr. Tanaka...

Well, Chronos was destroyed and all, right?

What's wrong?

Tetsuro, I don't want Mizuki to know about this.

Don't worry so much.

She won't learn anything about what's happened.

Yes?

Mizuki...

Hey.

Hey, Makishima. So you came to visit, huh?

Well, I suppose I'll be leaving.

Well, Makishima, I don't know how to thank you...

Don't worry about it.

Thank you so much.

Thanks, Makishima.

What's wrong, Fukamachi? You don't look too well.

No, I'm fine.

All detailed information on the Guyver units has been reduced to ash.

Everything has gone exactly as I planned.

Welcome home, Master Agito.

Hi.

Your guest awaits you, Sir.

Guest?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Guyot!

That was quick, Agito.

He's alive?

What are you so angry about, Mizuki?

I don't care for this attitude of yours!

Do you have any idea how worried Sho and I were when you just suddenly collapsed?

Worried? What's with you two, anyway?!

Everything you say is just to try and trick me!

Mizuki...

What are you hiding?

Until you tell me, I'm not saying a single word to either of you!

Mizuki, I'm sorry!

I can't say anything just yet, but believe me!

You won't be put in that kind of terrible situation again.

Someday, when the time is right, I'll tell you. Everything.

Until then, please wait just a little longer!

All right.

Now let go!

I told you it's all right, didn't I?

Well, I'll see you.

Okay, sorry to have had you...

Sho!

--Huh? --Thanks for coming today.

Sure. Okay, see ya!

Bye-bye!

Mizuki...

Now then, there's probably a ton of laundry, right?

I'd better hurry up and take care of it.

It seems the reinforcements from Relic's Point are here.

The three Lost Numbers have arrived, Sir.

Well done, I will brief you on your mission shortly.

Sir!

What do you mean, "reinforcements from Relic's Point"?

The Lost Number commandos.

The Lost Numbers?! They have left Relic's Point?

Circumstances required it. There was no other choice.

I feel kinda like a housewife myself.

Coming!

Welcome back, Dad.

Hey, is this a joke or something?

You're not actually gonna fight me with that, are you?

A Zoanoid! There were survivors?!

I am a hyper-Zoanoid, Panadyne!

Commander Guyot would like your control metal.

I'll be takin' it!

Stop!

Guyot's still alive!

C'mon, show me your true form!

I can't take your control metal if you don't!

Damn! I can't transform and fight in a place like this!

--What happened? --Where's the fire truck?

Help! Somebody help!

My baby is in there!

Somebody help!

Wait!

Guyver!

That way?

Akira...

Burn! Burn!

Stop it!

You son of a bitch!

Damn it! I can't fight here.

You're not getting away!

You can't escape! Not from me and not from Chronos!

Chronos has branches all over the world!

And they'll be sending in a whole bunch of hyper-Zoanoids like me

to make this country its base of operations!

Damn!

Stop.

What the hell do you want?

You think that peashooter is gonna work on a hyper-Zoanoid like me?

Let's see.

I'm not going to run away.

I'm going to protect them all!

Who was that man?

What was that?

Sho!

Tetsuro...

Hey! Don't tell me this is...

It's Chronos.

What?! Does this mean they weren't finished off after all?

Tetsuro, our town is....

Yeah...

Tetsuro? What's the matt...

Mizuki!

She saw me unequip!

When the person who was always there went away

I was assaulted by nothing but noise

Never again being able to call out a name you've grown used to saying

is a lonely thing, isn't it?

I will swim there without relying on a boat with no oars

Cotton candy

Sadness can be healed while you whistle

Cotton candy

Don't hide your tears from others

Even if it's too bright or too dark

Fix your gaze and look closely

To find a light in the dark

In the light to find the invisible thing

An inescapable fate...

Sought after as a sacrifice...

To save his father, Sho turns away from Mizuki and suits up.

Standing in his way are formidable opponents: the Lost Number commandos.

And now, Chronos has set its sights on the people close to Sho.

Next time: "Prelude to the Chase."

Will he be able to protect his normal life?
