"However great a civilization may be... there will come a time when it will all end."

The words uttered by someone long past.

Over the course of a half century...

Tokyo, then the largest megalopolis of Asia...

witnessed its own demise.

In the year 1999...

devastating the entire Kanto region

was a great earthquake often thought of as the final sign of doom.

Those who arose out of the ruins, wiped away their tears

and proceeded to rebuild the city.

Eventually...

Out of the ashes emerged a 22,000 hectare man-made island...

called Tron City.

The people whose lives returned to the peaceful state of former times

did not take any significant notice to the true purposes of bthe giant educational facility

built in the center of the new city.

All personnel!

Weapons safety off!

Give it your all!

Eat this!

Did we hit it?

Shit!

All personnel! Withdrawal immediately!

Commander Simmons!

What about the survivors!

I'm going in! Cover me!

What do you mean? You'll be killed!

Commander!

What is it!?

A motorcycle has broken through point 07 barrier...

and is headed this way!

What did you say!?

What kind of idiot goes joyriding at a time like this!?

Hey you! You're going to be killed!

Who the hell is that?

No! I can't be!

That can't be him!?

Yes.

That's the Gowcaizer.

He's going all out.

Isato-kun...

Come back alive. Kaiza, Kash...

Kyosuke-kun...

Fight for the glory.

Now is the time to settle it, nii-san.

That's right.

The dice has been thrown.

Let's get started, Mr. Batman.

Gowcaizer - The Voltage Fighters

Yo! Good morning!

Several tremors have struck the Burgundy region of France since last night,

the largest of which reached a magnitude of 6.5.

It occurred at a location quite far from any faults...

and as such is considered to be very unusual.

Next on the news...

The girl that is missing...

Yes, embedded in that bracelet I gave you, there is a Kaizer stone.

You can say that it's the last hope for humankind.

Use it well.

Kaiza Isato!

Boo!!

I am the ghost of one who was beaten to death by you in a Karate match...

I will haunt you. I will haunt you...

In order to appease my haunting spirit, I will need 100 shrimp dumplings...

Let's see...

It would be best with a nice hot cup of tea.

And also, let's see, I want...

I want... uh, forget the pork buns, and uh... no egg soup...

Yes, that's right!

I want shark fin soup!!!

Stop kidding around!

I've never ever killed anyone in a match!

Good morning, Isato-kun!

Don't "Good Morning" me!

Are you trying to destroy my image this morning!?

I came to pick you up! Let's go to school!

I'm tired...

Hey, did you see that? Huh? A perfect ten? A perfect ten?

Shaia-senpai!

Good Morning!

Good morning Son Karin-san.

Yo! Hishizaki!

I see you're once again driving that dumpy-looking thing.

Oh, good morning Kaiza-kun...

You think that silly retro bike is any better?

Well well.

Oh ho.

Go!!!

Senpai bye-bye!

I can't take it anymore. Ball Boy, overtake them. Hurry!

That's impossible, ojou-sama.

Why is that?

You have the same horsepower as that retro bike, don't you?

We have the same horsepower, but there's a difference in the load weight.

Load weight?

In other words, the difference between yours and Karin's weight.

Oh no...

You had to say it didn't you, you stupid Ball Boy!

I'm sorry, please...

With this drink, we will start the day, huh?

You think it's the time to be waxing poetically like that, Tachibana-san?

We're going to be late.

Hey Sabu-chan, good morning!

She's all bright and sweet as usual.

Yeah, she's quite a babe.

But, one day she'll be mine. Oops.

Hey, Sabu. Don't get me wrong.

I just want her in my clique, if you know what I mean.

Are you sure about that?

You had that look in your eye.

Shut up!

Ouch.

All right, we made it just in time.

Thank goodness!

You stupid idiot!

This isn't New York! Watch where you're going!

Yeah, that's right! Isato-kun was watching where he was going!

I saw how it happened!

My apologies.

Come on Isato-kun! The chimes are ringing!

Uh, oh yeah...

Hey, Isato-kun?

You have a bad attitude. Don't you know the chimes have already rung?

You think I'm a fool to take seriously what a nerd like you has to say?

You think you can do anything you want as long as the teacher isn't here?

We're in the 11th grade now.

In order to develop oneself for future leadership in large and powerful organizations,

I think graduation is a good thing.

Why don't you just keep your mouth shut!

Besides, all you need to get into this school is a special personal skill.

I've got myself covered with my physical prowess.

I'll leave it to you Randy, to sit at a desk and study the books.

If that's your way of saying that I should help you cheat on your tests, I'll have to refuse.

No matter how hard I try, you only get half my answers, so that's 50% for you.

Huh. It sounds like you're looking for a fight, you little twerp.

You idiot!

Kaiza! I heard everything you said!

Even if heaven itself were to permit you...

I, Fudo Rampou will not allow such impertinence!

That couldn't be...

Fudo-sensei?

Indeed, your advisor and lecturer in the study of the classics...

Professor Fudo Rampou!

Kaiza. I am punishing you for bad behavior.

You will write out everything on pages 40 to 50 of the textbook!

The deadline for your work is tomorrow morning. Understand?

Huh! The weirdo circus-freak of a Prof.

All right, I'm taking the attendance roll...

Eisweig Alilia-dono!

Here!

Irie Yuichiro-dono!

Here!

Wellfire Julius-dono!

Here!

Eliphes Levy-dono!

Here!

Kaiza Isato-dono!

Here...

Hishizaki Shaia-dono!

Here, teacher!

I'm right over here. Good morning!

Ojou-sama, please return to your desk quickly.

Riggs Randy-dono!

Here!

That's all.

Before we begin today, I'd like to make an announcement.

The first transfer student in two months.

His name is Shigure Kyosuke.

Once in grade 12, you're not likely be studying with him.

He's already passed all of his admissions exams, and Randy...

he did better than you in science and the classics.

Uh.

Wow...

So, Shigure Kyosuke-kun's his name.

Huh, it would be nice if we got along.

And as such, Shigure-kun attained excellent...

scores on the admissions exams. Perfect scores in several subjects...

Isn't he so cool?

Yeah...

He is a brilliant student that the members of the admissions committee...

felt without reserve to accept into this school.

Well well, he's getting quite the mention on his very first day even.

This might just compromise my policy about

not picking on the weaker students.

Huh?

Oops!

Hey come on, Shaia. What are you peeking at?

Yahoo Tachibana! I heard about the new transfer student.

Thought I'd check it out.

I've got no problem with that.

But look at what you're wearing.

Isn't today the date of your concert?

I thought I'd just play a little hooky. What the hell.

Let's have a look.

He's pretty good-looking!

Huh! It's not the fact that counts...

I've known lots of guys, so I know but...

You'll find that those kind of guys are cowards, running at the drop of a hat.

Well, I can't imagine a coward looking the way he does.

Hey Shaia-senpai?

What are you doing, silly? You're supposed to be in homeroom. You'd better get back.

No problem.

Son! Is Son Karin here today?

Yes! I'm here!

And, are you here because you wanted to check out the new student as well?

Yes. Well, I hear that he's really smart.

I thought he could help me with my studies.

Don't be silly.

You're in the advanced level martial arts program, aren't you?

Surely you don't expect him to help you with that kind of material?

But, Randy-kun teaches me all kinds of things.

That's because he has other motives.

Other motives?

Wow!!

Hey! Keep it quiet! Don't you know that we could get into serious trouble?

He's the guy who jumped out in front of the bike this morning.

What are you talking about?

Hey, new guy! Nice threads you got there!

I like them.

Fudo-sama...

We'll be arriving at the UN building shortly.

The UN secretariat, the sublime guardian of the world.

Amazing how we've come to follow their lead.

Nonsense!

The equator is shifting!? It can only be a miscalculation!

It has to be!

To suggest that this is the chief cause of recent abnormal global occurrences.

I was assuming that all the reports received here...

were submitted by each section upon official approval, without any delay.

"Plan and Construction of Meteorological Weapons?"

"The Propensity of Human Effects on the Earth's Crust?"

Huh! It wasn't my intention to come here to discuss science fiction!

We understand that!

It is precisely because of the abnormal nature of the matter...

that we have called upon you learned scholars to debate the issue!

Silence!

Now, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce someone.

Assigned by the Japanese government, he is Special Intelligence Officer, Fudo.

The information contained in these reports

was checked and corroborated by him upon our request.

Let him in.

Thank you for coming all this way to attend, Fudo-kun.

Not at all.

According to your report...

you know, the one about the big earthquake in Japan.

"The Second Great Tokai Earthquake."

Yes. You suggested that it was caused by man?

Yes indeed.

Well, who precisely? Perhaps a band of mysterious giant dragons?

The president of the Belnar Institute, Ozaki Shizuru.

You mean the Belnar Institute, that gigantic high school

set by the Japanese government to educate an elite cadre of experts.

And this Ozaki, who is he?

To explain simply who he is beyond what can be expected of any man.

Superhuman, no, rather an awakened man.

Awakened?

Yes indeed. Forging his strength from all of his being...

One day, he achieved a power beyond all.

So, who is he?

Ozaki Shizuru.

Yes, are you saying that this Ozaki has reached some sort of enlightenment?

That's correct. But there's more than that.

Ozaki currently is incapable of human reason.

He wields his power according to the will of a distant force.

The will of a distant force? Vague terms, don't you think?

The will of a force beyond this world imposed upon earth.

Well, it plays against all sense of understanding.

If we base our judgment honestly on what you say...

it seems what you're saying is that Ozaki possesses a power that is beyond this world.

You could say that.

What sort of evidence do you have to make such outlandish claims!

I have seen it...

That night of the moon.

Hmm... It's near!

Wha... what is that!?

Are you asking us to believe that?

I believe you Fudo-kun.

But Secretary-General...

I don't think we have enough information to pursue this.

I'm not sure this is something we can work with on an international level.

As far as I'm concerned,

until we can verify and analyze what Fudo-kun has just told us...

Get as much information on this person as possible.

It is true that we have had earthquakes on a worldwide scale in recent years.

We cannot ignore such a clue.

That is all. Adjourned.

Ozaki submits to the unfathomable forces intent on denying the existence

of this planet called Earth.

A plan destined to eventually destroy the world...

We must stop him.

Enter.

Excuse us.

President Ozaki, Asahina Ryo.

Suzu.

We have come.

It is a beautiful thing.

Indestructible. Hard to think it can be used as an instrument of tyranny.

Moreover...

as something that can bring to an end the whole of human history.

Don't you think so?

I have granted this Kaizer stone to many.

However, there have only been a few candidates sympathetic to our cause.

As for those who have been granted the stone and have metamorphed Soul Gear...

There have been only a handful, including you two.

There is Ryo...

who holds the stone for the both of you.

The one carrying the burden for the both of you.

All for the sake of love.

You are quite a man.

I am counting on you Ryo.

It is an honor, Ohga-sama.

I am now Ozaki, my dear Ryo.

I apologize.

Not to worry.

In this inner sanctum are allowed only those

whose have been chosen by the haunting stone.

Oh well. I guess he sees through everything.

Okay. That's it for me.

The clown who missed the show shall quietly leave the room.

Are you allowing him to walk out of here?

To let him be free?

He's a tougher man than meets the eye.

Everything he is, is in my hands.

Excuse my insolence.

And?

It concerns the UN conference the other day.

Due to a lack of information, no motion was passed.

However, Fudo Rampou, a faculty member at this school...

was present as an intelligence officer.

Don't worry about him.

He can't do anything.

Is there anything else?

Yes.

It's about that Kaiza Isato

who happened to be granted the Kaizer stone.

Although we are concerned that he's more of a physical type,

through our investigation,

we also feel that he has not attained...

the psychological maturity to use the Kaizer stone.

Very well. Ryo...

Suzu...

I want the both of you to try to undermine his spirit.

I'll leave the details to you.

His life?

I have no regard.

If that is what it comes to, I have no use for him.

Understood.

Is that all?

No, one more thing.

A recent arrival at this school

is a transfer student who possesses a superior psychological power.

Oh? His name?

Shigure Kyosuke.

Do not get involved with him.

I know of him.

You may leave now.

Excuse us.

I see...

A peculiar power shifting in time has been mocking me.

Although I did make precautions to keep him from entering.

So it was you, Kyosuke...

Kubira! Go!

Kubira!

I-I'm all right Kyosuke-sama.

Aside from that, I cannot make sense of the currents of this barrier.

Yes, I felt the same way as well.

This is something only he could orchestrate. I'm sure of it.

What will we do Kyosuke-sama?

Let's go into town.

Huh?

He is human after all.

A person will always prove his worth within the company of other people.

He's probably left a trail.

Take human form.

Leave it to me.

What are you trying to do, Kubira?

Since I am going out on the town with you.

And besides, if I stayed as a dog, I'd stand out.

Do what you will.

All right!

Shaia-ojousama, I have brought you a towel.

I will put it in the basket.

Uh... I've brought you a towel.

O-Oh no, it can't be!

Are you all right!?

Perhaps you have fainted?

Don't you know that silence means everything's all right? Huh, Ball Boy?

I'm terribly sorry. It'll never happen again.

Hey, Ball Boy?

Uh, yes ojou-sama.

Do you know anything about white school uniforms?

Uh yes. Well, according to my library

it is known as a "White Orchid."

It was a uniform worn as a symbol of strength

among juvenile delinquents at the turn of the century.

A symbol of strength...

I don't think it's anything so shallow as that...

Uh, does this have to do with anything?

No, no. It's nothing.

No, it's nothing really.

Kyosuke-sama!

Yes, I know...

We're shifting into the devil's quarter dimension.

This is a trap!

I knew it!

It's coming!

I'm ready!

Kyo-chan.

Kyo-chan! It's been a long time. My, you've grown!

Kyosuke-sama! It's an illusion!

I know that! Don't say anything!

How cute. Looking at me so seriously.

Oh that earring! You kept it all these years!

I'm so happy!

Nee-san!

No it can't be. My sister's...

Oh, what's wrong.

Now Kyo-chan, you shouldn't wave around something so dangerous like that.

You're scaring me.

Give it to me.

I see...

I'm quite surprised Kyosuke.

You have certainly matured well from a psychological point of view.

But...

What about your physical strength?

You've scored well so far.

Give it your best. Don't disappoint me.

Ozaki!

You bastard!

You fool!

How dare you get in the way. Die!

Wait!

Evil beast! In this feast of passion, I'll take back the honor of my sister!

Oh?

Pay your respects to this divine sword!

What!?

Perfect score, Kyosuke. Here's your prize.

Shit!

Kyosuke-sama!

You have matured well over the years, Kyosuke.

It brings me joy.

The gears are already in motion.

Hurry, my warriors.

Look over there Suzu.

When that sun sets...

We will fall into an eternal sleep.

And then...

there will be nothing to break us apart.

That's right. We'll always be together.

Yes, onii-chan...

Suzu!

I-I'm all right.

Be careful onii-chan...

you'll get blood on you.

My dear Ryo.

Why do you not accept me?

It's you again. Making fools of us. You don't know anything about us.

All your talk about Kaizer stones...!

It's not something that's going to cure Suzu's sickness!

Just leave us alone.

I know about it, Ryo...

I know a lot about you two.

Even about the forbidden love that you share.

And about Suzu's sad, incurable illness.

And the grief you suffer as you come to face imminent death.

I am not like any other man you know.

I will not punish you, and I will not hurt you.

That's right...

I possess nothing that will even bind you.

I understand you.

Above all, I do like you both.

I am envious of the pure love that you have.

Do you think a friend can stand idly by as...

the final desperate chapter of your lives comes to a close?

You must believe in me.

I understand.

Onii-sama...

There are more wounds on your body.

It's nothing to make a big deal about. I'm all right.

No, these wounds appear solely because of me.

You were granted the Kaizer stone for the both of us.

It is through bearing this strain for both of us

that you're body is weakening.

It is because of me that your body is destroying itself.

If that is my destiny...

I am willing to give up everything. That's all. I'm not afraid.

Onii-sama!

That's right. Whatever happens, I will protect you.

Who could it be at this time of night.

Hey! You all right man?

You're that rude transfer student from this morning!

Well, I can't just leave him sitting out here.

Here we go...

Hey.

You're awake, street fighter.

This is Kaiza Isato's special apple-garlic tea.

It does the trick.

Is this your home?

Well, you could say that.

Do you remember me?

I'm the guy you jumped out in front of this morning.

I remember. I apologize, thanks for your help.

I'm Shigure Kyosuke. I owe you for this.

Well, don't worry about it.

I get the feeling you have some kind of deep, secretive past. Am I right?

The look in your eyes this morning said it all.

And it sure doesn't look like you got those wounds from some bar brawl.

They say that I'm a wild and crazy kind of guy, but the way I feel now...

It's like I just stepped on to a strange new ship.

You seem to be a curious kind of guy as well.

Kind of. Maybe I can help you out, as long as you're not asking for money.

I lost the most important person in my life.

I have been fighting...

to get her back.

Was she kidnapped?

No, she's dead now.

She was my older sister.

What I want to bring back is her honor.

Sounds like revenge.

Yes, I won't deny it.

That's basically my situation.

But you're not up against the Mafia or some corrupt politician, right?

I mean, I understand the kind of people you're up against.

So tell me, who are you fighting against.

The president of the Belnar Institute, Ozaki Shizuru.

Huh!?

Hey hey, come on. Don't be kidding around.

I mean I've never actually seen the guy...

But isn't he just some old man?

This isn't some Kung Fu movie, he can't be very strong.

Why don't you check it out yourself?

There's something I know about you.

If you want to be a real warrior, do not depend on any weapons.

I followed that path as hard as I could...

But it is nothing more than a drug and did not give me any real power against him.

What are you talking about?

I can sense his presence through you as well.

You must possess it. You have a gift from him. You must throw it away.

Hey! I don't get it!

You tell me the whole story-

Always keep that on your body no matter what.

When I'm careless sometimes, I lose my sense of bearings.

For someone like you.

You'll need a passion strong enough to seduce even the most devout nun.

Hey!

What did you just say?

What on earth could this be?

Huh!? No way!

It's true. I just saw Kaiza leave with Kash.

Aww... I even brought him a dynamite Chinese lunch today.

You should've seen the looks in their eyes.

Maybe it's some kind of showdown.

Oh no. Isato-kun...

Heh! I never thought you were so old-fashioned about these things, coming to a place like this.

This is the kind of setting that badass Tachibana would really appreciate.

Don't you want to make this dramatic?

I figured it would at least make you respect the formalities.

Keep shooting your mouth off like that, Mr. Guitarist...

And you'll never be able to stand on a stage again.

Make no mistake.

This is not a contest. It's a practice.

Or perhaps, a recreation.

You know, so we can better get along.

Heh!

Let's do it.

Come on.

Hey, come on! That's fighting a bit dirty don't you think!

But hey. Haven't you gotten all psyched up now?

Oh yeah, sure.

I just have this sudden need to bash in that nose of yours...

or I think I might just get some kind of an ulcer.

Don't you think it's time we savor the main course?

You do know how to use your Soul Gear, don't you?

You just have to apply those emotions to the Kaizer stone.

It's easy.

Or...

Perhaps you're afraid?

No problem. Sounds like fun to me!

A showdown of the superhuman!

Come on Kaizer stone. Take me to the realm of the superhuman!

Let's go! Caizer Go!

Well, how about it!

I think I can get into this gig.

There's no encore. Give it your all.

No need to tell me. That's my plan!

Look out!

Backfire Elbow!

Lineck Singer!

Caizer Strike!

Better run away.

I guess that's about it.

It's not over yet!

Isn't this fun?

I can't get enough.

Compared to this, my usual fights...

are nothing more than child's play!

Yes, that's the spirit.

Damn!

Wait! Kash!

What you were just doing is our job.

We will evaluate Kaiza Isato on the basis of his metamorphosis.

Leave the rest to us and back away.

Of course this is Ohga-sama's wish.

Okay, do what you want.

But let me just warn you first.

This guy here...

is a genuine one.

Oh yeah?

Just as you heard, they will now play with you.

Hey hey, wait a minute. We haven't settled anything here yet!

Settled?

You don't understand, do you?

Give these guys a good going over.

They'll give you more fun than you can imagine.

Who the hell are they anyway?

What's the matter with you?

Don't you know the president and vice president of the Student Council?

Student Council!?

In the spirit of friendship and honor, I will tell you who they are.

They have the power of two Kaizer stones.

You should now know what that means. They're no pushovers.

Kash!

All right... All right...

Well, shall we begin Kaiza-kun.

What for?

I've got no reason to fight you two.

However, you'll have no choice once I take the initiative.

You really want to force it, huh?

Kaiza-kun...

You might have already heard from Kash, but...

whether you can fully utilize the Kaizer stone's power

depends significantly on your psychological maturity level.

So I have a question for you...

What do you consider the most powerful psychological state in human beings?

Who knows?

The main purpose in life of all living creatures is to reproduce and leave descendants.

That's right, it's to love someone and to have a child with them.

The process basically repeats itself.

The one you love becomes the most important thing to you.

It follows that in order to protect the one you love...

it is necessary to exercise an ultimate power.

Don't you think?

It doesn't seem like you understand.

Not to worry. That is why we're here.

We'll thoroughly show you what the power of love is all about.

Wha...? What is this!?

Metamol Twins!

Isn't it beautiful? This is the form of our love.

Well, as we promised, we will show you the power of love.

Higher Slash!

Shit!

Is that it?

You don't seem to measure up to the standards of Ohga-sama.

We'll have to take back the Kaizer stone.

Sleep well.

Well, well, it's checkmate with just two moves.

Farewell Kaiza Isato.

133rd generation Priestess of Heaven, Karin...

Here to the rescue!

Hey Kash-kun.

Were you making fun of Isato-kun just now?

Don't you have the decency to stand by him...?

Oh no!

Well uh... Is that the Ninin Baoli?

You fool! Run away Karin!

Here I come!

And now for the deathblow!

Kaen Henpou!

Gotcha!

Let me go!

Stop it!

If you so much as scratch her...

I'll kill you even if it means my own death!

This could be interesting.

They say that people are strongest when they are forced to protect a loved one.

I think we can make you truly understand what that means.

Although I don't think you can even stand in that shape.

Karin!

Is that Isato-kun? Isato-kun...

Y-You bastard!

What!? His fury cannot be...?

No!

Suzu.

Onii-sama.

Isato-kun.

Thank you.

I've always known that...

I was everything to you, onii-sama.

Just as you were everything to me.

But now, I no longer have anything.

But... But I thought...

If we never got involved with you.

If only you didn't come into our lives.

If only you never appeared.

Ohga-sama!

We will meet again. One day, without a doubt!

No!

I didn't mean to kill them.

Isato-kun...

I... I...

How pathetic.

Not really.

It's merely the result of their final conclusion.

If anything, it will lead to their next death.

When people, no...

When all living things are met with death. There is nothing afterwards.

Existence is not to be measured by you.

Well, I'll let that go...

Well, my dear friend...

Let's begin what we are here to accomplish.

You can't mean...!

Once again, you seem to be against it.

However...

I have concluded that it is the way that the humans most prefer.

I will not tolerate any excuses this time.

It's getting worse.

What is that!

Isato-kun?

I sense a danger.

What is it that's about to happen?

Nee-san... Show me the way.

Now, there is not a moment to spare.

Anyone, come and stop me! I beg you!
