Heavy damage to unit! Damage level increasing!

Transmission failure on emergency support materialization pellet!

Emergency aid impossible!

Meta-body C.H.I.P. Loss rate entering danger zone.

This is goodbye.

Huh? What are you saying?

Wait! I'll stay to the very end!

Kyo!

Banishment mode, start.

Wizard transmission, commencing.

ENTANGLE

Forgive me.

I won't say goodbye to you ever again.

I won't leave you all alone.

C'mon, don't resist!

It's impossible!

I QUIT!!!

Cut!

Kyo, what's the big idea? The scene was going great!

What about it was "great"?!

I can't do this with Tomigai, even if this is just a movie!

It's just too depressing thinking my first kiss will be with a DUDE!

I don't mind.

Breach of contract! After I bought your lunch, too!

A man's allowed to break his word three times in his life!

This is just my second time.

Says who?

When and where'd you break your word the first time?

Who cares?! Forget it...

That girl...

Forgive me, Kaminagi.

Kyo Sogoru, where do you think you're going?!

At last! At last! At last!

Get your clothes on! Sogoru!

You're breaking the dress code!

At last! At last! The swim club's first new applicant!

Welcome! Welcome to the Maihama Minami High School Swim Club!

You wanna try out for the club? Wow, this is really inspiring!

I'm Kyo Sogoru, class 1-D!

The lone member of the swim club, sacrificing his youth to master the pool!

I'm here to welcome you! What's your name?

Huh? What'd you say?

Found him. Figured he'd be here.

Not bad!

Hey!

Wha?

Uh-oh! Is she drowning?!

What's up?

Him again.

What's wrong with him?

Something sure is.

He gets good grades, but...

I'll take a pass on him.

In short, the pretty girl suddenly vanished from the pool...

and you're late to class because you were looking for her?

I'm serious, Kurage!

If I was lying, wouldn't I make this more believable?

My name is Kurashige, not "Kurage."

Remember the swim club faculty advisor's name, at least.

Then as our advisor, try being more understanding!

I'm the one trying to reform the club!

Can you just put on your clothes?

Of course!

Now what? Sogoru?

What? Oh, no... It's nothing.

Brainstorm! I just got a great idea how to kick start the swim club!

Huh? Shoot a P.R. Video for the swim club? You mean me?

Right! Featuring a swimsuit girl who's a BABE!

One look at her and the guys signing up will just...

POW! Simple and perfect!

Simpleminded...

Guys are simpleminded! Just look at me!

It's totally stupid! I won't do it!

You just want to make a cheesecake video or something!

No, because you're going to capture...

the true beauty of high school girls in a fresh and wholesome way!

I'm begging you, O future great film director! Ryoko Kaminagi!

So, who will be our model? Tomigai, again?

Oh, please! We'll use the girl I saw at the pool before.

The pool?

How's it going, Kyo?

I hear the swim club's gonna be disbanded for lack of members soon.

Kawaguchi. Hayase. Ushio.

Well, who'd want to join a club that has you as a member?

Oh, yeah?! You looking for a fight today, pal?!

And what's the big idea grabbing me?!

Lemme go, you ape!

You let me go, dumb ass!

Sogoru, no! Cut it out!

I said lemme go!

Boy... Is he up to no good again?

Kyo, after the crap you pulled in middle school,

Kyo, after the crap you pulled in middle school, Mizuki...

I am never, ever gonna forgive you!

I am never, ever gonna forgive you! Cut it out, Kawaguchi. Let's go.

Cut it out, Kawaguchi. Let's go.

The swim club is over, as of now!

Shut yer damn mouth!

Ryoko... Nice friends you got there.

We grew up together. I'm kinda stuck with him.

I can't think of anyone like that.

Not in the second or third year classes, either.

Could she be a transfer student?

I haven't heard about any.

Then who did we see at the pool today?

Maybe you saw a ghost in broad daylight.

No way! She was real...

Um, Kyo?

What's all this?

There was no one there.

Totally not what the weatherman said. This really sucks!

Oh!

Isn't he cute?

Maybe she was a ghost.

Oh, just give it a rest already.

Listen, Kaminagi...

There's not a soul out at all, huh?

It's raining.

Anyway, you should worry about yourself instead.

You've been weird since this afternoon.

Maybe I have been, but...

There are no customers or a shop keeper, either.

How can it be raining today?

The weather's always clear for us.

Looks like it won't be stopping anytime soon. This is abnormal.

Whew! I'm soaked to the bone!

Get straight into the shower when you get home! You don't want a cold!

Same for you, Kyo.

Sure!

From Dad. And this...

No return address...

WORKING LATE AGAIN. DINNER'S IN THE OVEN. - MOM

What did you want to tell me?

FROM: KYO "WANNA EAT?"

Catch!

To make up for spoiling your shoot today.

Oh, sure. Like this is enough to get my forgiveness.

Okay, then I'll go scout locations with you this Sunday.

Just pick someplace with water so I can swim.

Are you a kappa?

Put me in water and I'm happy as a clam!

You really love swimming, don't you, Kyo?

I guess.

That's really tough.

If you don't get more members by summer break, they'll disband the club.

It can't be helped.

Those rumors from middle school have followed me into high school.

But, that's all just...

Look, don't worry about it!

It'll be fine once we get that girl in our video!

Save it...

Please, save this world.

I know! I know what she wanted to tell me!

Hello?! Kyo?

What's wrong, Kaminagi?

Be... Behind you...

As of 17:08 current local time,

a Gardsorm recon group is en route to the Tokyo server.

While the Tokyo server's functions were suspended 16 years ago,

it still contains the data of a large number of meta-bodies.

Zegatank is currently salvaging the data,

but the probability of enemy contact before completion is high.

We need to dispatch reinforcements, but we lack a Gunner and a Wizard.

We hope to replenish our Cerebrant resources as soon as possible.

What is all this?! We hope to replenish our Cerebrant resources as soon as possible.

Will you be launching, Yehl?

My name is Shizuno in this place.

So, you finally heard my voice. Took you long enough.

Are you a ghost?

See for yourself.

This is!

I intended to give you a little more time to recover, but that's not an option now.

I have a favor to ask. Will you hear me out?

To... save this world. Is that it?

Correct. Well?

Well, will you do a P.R. Video for the swim club in return?

Time to play the game.

The game begins again.

Shift to Cerebrant mode.

Reconstruction coordinates, viewtrication parameters: Set.

Bednorz curve, holding.

Transmission port energy compilation at 73%

85 seconds to full replenishment.

Quantum transmission core, A-OK.

Virtualization probability flux now reaching 98 C.C.P.T.

Commencing transmission. Entangle!

A robot... Seriously?!

It's shining...

It's beautiful.

Huh?

It just moved exactly the way I wanted it to.

I know this feeling...

Okay, why am I so calm in this thing?

Because this isn't your first time doing this, naturally.

Welcome back to Zegapain.

And you're?

Shizuno Misaki.

So, how'd it feel to quantum teleport?

May I ask you a question?

Just one. We haven't much time.

Why were you at the pool this afternoon?

That's what you want to ask me now?

It's nothing really meaningful.

I just wanted to take a swim.

I never imagined you'd spot me.

I was thinking of meeting you if circumstances allowed, but...

Just trust me, Kyo. Do as I say and you'll be fine.

This is the latest in virtual reality games. Think of it like that for now.

Okay?

That's impossible!

Oh, well... Guess we'll have to talk later.

Enemy!

Gardsorm, approaching from ahead.

Air squadron of thirteen Ulvorful units.

He spotted them quickly.

Your mission is to support the Zegatank's operation...

and to wipe out the Gardsorm mobile squadron.

Your operational time limit is 6 minutes, 12 seconds.

Ready to go?

If you agree to be in my video.

Okay.

Zegapain Altair, activate!

It's bouncing off!

Holonic armor. Light shields.

A half-assed attack like this won't affect Zegapain!

They're here! What do I do?!

Altair is directly linked to your thoughts!

Think how you would react!

This thing... It can fly, too?

Do you like it?

Yeah!

Hey!

Do you need weapons?

If you got any, lemme have 'em!

Guns? A sword?

Sword!

Roger that!

Front grip weapon chamber coil activation, okay.

Holonic blade, deploying. Right hand!

Not bad at all!

A bit unsteady, perhaps.

Speaking personally, I'm afraid I just can't agree...

with the decision you've made in this matter.

You'll be disciplined for this!

What happens if we lose the Altair right after it's been tuned up?

There's a risk. I admit that.

Like hitting a broken TV set? That isn't like you.

You mind not hanging over my head and bitching at us right now?!

Three left! Gimme guns!

Can't hit 'em!

Focus your mind on your own forehead.

It's over!

Caladrius detected by enemy. Aanval responding.

Caladrius detected by enemy. Aanval responding. The enemy's spotted Zegatank!

Should we save it?!

If we can.

We can do it!

Lu-shen!

We'll escape when the data salvage is complete.

Zero-nine to go...

An Aanval!

How much Q.L. Is left?

320.

15 seconds of hand-to-hand mode.

Zegapain Altair!

It's working?!

Zegatank, fall back to the Oceanus!

Shizuno. Who's acting as your Gunner?

Kyo Sogoru?!

Okay...

Aim for its core!

Warning! Vehicle's-

Wings!

Roger.

Light wings, full deploy!

We're at transmission limit. Returning to ship.

Mission complete. Entangle, time out.

Entangle, time out.

Zegapain...

Welcome back, Kyo.

Who is this vision I see floating before my eyes? Dare ga miteiru VISUAL? Me no mae no

Rushing water runs back over my body Kyuu na mizu ga karada wo sakasa ni kakemeguru

Now, the two of us think about... Ima futari wa

the meaning of our having met Deatta imi omou

Even though we must be swimming... Kitto dareka no kioku no naka

Within someone's memories Oyoideiru dakedemo

The wings of light upon your back Kimi no senaka

Spread out towards the sky Hikari no hane ga sora e hirogaru

No matter the place, no matter the past Donna basho mo donna kako sae mo

A single wish... Tadahitotsu no negai ga

Will surpass it all Norikoete yuku yo

NEXT EPISODE

NEXT EPISODE It's impossible! Nobody knows that girl?!

It's impossible! Nobody knows that girl?!

I didn't dream it and I didn't imagine it!

I can feel how real these memories are!

I'll keep my promise.

You basically just want me to beat these guys, right?!

I want to see this through!

Where are you now, Shizuno Misaki?

Next time, on Zegapain: "Cerebrum."

My thoughts, never to be erased.

CEREBRUM My thoughts, never to be erased.
