Misakichi! Go! Come on!
Now!
Layer out! Hikaru wins!
Hikaru wins!
Misakichi is great! Great! Great!
Eight wins, no losses.
What's wrong, Hatoko?
Nothing...
Misaki Suzuhara has eight wins, no losses.
She's truly unbeatable! An incredible rookie is born!

"Suzuka, the Speed of Light! Hatoko's Declaration of Rivalry!"
Misakichi! You're so strong!
Not really...
You seem to have no enemy to face at all.
You too!
Kotaro-chan, are you alright?
But you're really great.
You've only started Angelic Layer recently.
Yes. I never thought I would win so much either.
It must be a fluke.
You just happened to win by luck.
Don't be so puffed up!
You guys!
It's not nice to say that!
Apologize to Misaki.
Tamayo-chan!
Hurry up and apologize!
Yeah...
Sorry... Yeah...
Sorry...
I'm fine.
Hey, Misakichi?!
Don't worry about it.
Why not?
Don't you get frustrated when someone says things like that?
Yes.
Is that right?
I've never experienced feeling very frustrated.
Do you mean that, as with Angelic Layer, you've NEVER lost?!
I don't like to argue with anyone...
I've never wanted to do or to be anything before.
Great jump!
No, not that!
Next, Suzuhara! No, not that!
Next, Suzuhara!
Yes!
Misakichi...
I don't think she's a particularly great Angel.
I don't get why Chief Icchan is so...
Ogata?!
Did you manage to get everything all right?
Yes, but I missed a little at the start of game six...
What?
I'm sorry.
Someone who made a mistake like that will get a penalty game!
You will eat udon without making noise!
It doesn't taste as good as udon usually tastes, Chief.
That's it. That's it.
I wonder if I have any athletic ability at all.
Hatoko-chan!
Are you heading home?
Yes.
Oh, I almost forgot. Thank you, Hatoko-chan.
Do you remember when you said "Believe in myself and Hikaru"?
Even though I'm a beginner, I was able to win so far, thanks to you.
Really?
Do you really believe in Hikaru?
You're not going any further, Misaki.
I have to go now...
Hatoko-chan...
What's wrong with Hatoko-chan?
What did she mean by I won't go any further?
Don't be so puffed up!
I STILL don't understand it!
I'll ask Hatoko-chan next time I see her.
I'm sorry.
Okay! It's okay! You did a good job on the Kinpira.
Really?!
The dinners at home have improved since you arrived.
It was so good.
I'm happy to cook for you, since you seem to enjoy my meals.
Because they taste really good.
Yes!
Once you're done, why don't you rest?
I'll clean the dishes.
Aren't you going to Angelic Layer's games tomorrow?
Yes.
I'm having fun doing Angelic Layer now, Miss Shoko.
I've never liked anything as much as this before.
Miss Shoko, I'll do the cleaning.
Would you?
I shouldn't do anything I normally don't do.
Hikaru, let's do our best tomorrow.
Is this for the best?
Misakichi!
Tamayo-chan! You came here for me?
Of course! I'll be cheering for you!
I thought up a new Misaki cheer.
Chi, chi, chi, chi, Misakichi. Go!
How's that?
Thanks...
I've also got one for Hikaru. Hi, hi, hi, hi, Hikarucchi. Go! Go!
Kotaro-chan.
Suzuhara! Did you see your opponent for today?
I just arrived, so...
I see...
What? Misakichi will be fine no matter who the opponent is.
That's promising!
Hatoko-chan!
Let's have fun, Misaki.
I'm your opponent for the ninth fight.
That's not good!
East Corner,
the Angel is Hikaru and the Deus, Misaki Suzuhara.
West Corner,
the Angel is Suzuka and the Deus, Hatoko Kobayashi.
I never thought Hatoko-chan would be the opponent...
Entry Angel!
Wings of an Angel! Please guide me and Hikaru!
Angel, fall in!
Exceed the speed of light and sound, Suzuka!
And now, Angelic fight!
She's the favorite for the title.
"Light-speed Suzuka" has appeared.
She's an amazing kid who defeats her foes moments after the game begins.
Do you think it will end so soon again?
Why? Why does she need to fight against Hatoko-chan?
I wonder why she doesn't move...
I'll attack her instead.
No!
Good job, Suzuka.
She didn't need to use her speed, and she got some points.
Do you think it's only a matter of time?
I'll do it again. I'll attack from the left!
I can't see!
She's being pressed back.
But she's avoiding them.
Really?
You're right.
There aren't many that can avoid Suzuka's speed kicks like this.
But it's not enough.
She'll fall out the Layer if I do nothing.
That's it!
That's what you did for High Jump, Kotaro-chan!
The other day, she used the technique you tried on me too.
Misakichi is REALLY observant!
In the heat of the moment, you called her "Misakichi".
It's no good. I need to do something besides avoiding her attack.
Let's go, Hikaru!
You shouldn't rush into it!
I won't run away anymore!
She did it again!
But she's not giving way.
This is the way it should be.
Amazing! Her attacks are so fast.
But I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose!
Misaki, that's good.
I think we'll have a good fight.
I tried to avoid it...
How is she right there when I dodge?
What? Hatoko-chan seems to know where Misaki will go.
She does know.
Hatoko's watching Suzuhara.
Hikaru, move right!
Hatoko Kobayashi predicts Hikaru's moves accurately.
What an amazing kid!
Why does she know where I'm going to?
Is Hatoko-chan moving by intuition?
No, if it was intuition, she would have sometimes missed.
Then why?
Misakichi! Hatoko-chan knows where to move by watching you!
She can't hear you even if you shout.
And once the fight starts, she can only rely on herself.
What?
How can Hatoko-chan know where Hikaru will move to?
She's watching me, not Hikaru.
I've been watching her left when Hikaru moves left.
And watching her right when Hikaru moves to right without noticing.
I'll watch Hatoko-chan. Hikaru, go right.
She dodged!
Suzuhara must have noticed it!
The rookie isn't bad at all!
In Angelic Layer, the Angels fight each other,
but it's the Deuses that actually fight.
It's important to watch the opposing Deus.
It's the one thing to keep in mind in a fight, right?
Is this girl Suzuhara doing any martial arts?
No. She seems to have no athletic ability at all.
But Suzuka is strong.
I'm sure this fight will teach her something she really needs to learn
in order to keep playing Angelic Layer.
Misaki.
I'm having a really good time now.
I want to keep fighting with you but it's almost time to finish it.
I think you'll become very strong. So, don't lose to anyone but me.
Hikaru!
Hikaru...
Suzuka wins!
We hadn't seen Suzuka's specialty, the high-speed spin kick for awhile.
It's also called "Rolling Thunder".
Hatoko Kobayashi got the victory beautifully.
Misaki.
She'll be okay.
She'll get better soon, since she just injured her arm a little.
Promise.
Let's meet at the Kanto Games.
Misakichi! Where are you?!
She's not at the Deus's waiting room, either. Where did she go?
Suzuhara...
Wiggly Icchan's here!
Well, well, well, well, well...
Were you watching me?
I saw.
I'm sorry. Mr. Icchan had taught me so many things too.
Don't worry about me. How are you?
How do you feel now?
Hatoko-chan's strong, and has won many titles, it's no wonder I lost...
Is that so?
I feel frustrated.
I hurt Hikaru.
I lost.
I feel terrible.
That feeling.
It's what you needed to learn to continue Angelic Layer.
Once you realize that, you'll be able to become stronger.
Misakichi!
Here you are, Misakichi!
I'm sorry, Tamayo-chan.
Are you all right?
Yes.
Mr. Icchan!
I think I'll like Angelic Layer even more!
Let's go!
Now we'll eat donuts and cake for stress relief!
Kotaro-chan's treat!
Let's go, Misakichi!
Why me?
Konya mo mata hakanai hoshizora

Misa, misa, misa, Misakichi!
What are you doing, Mr. Icchan?
I'm practicing a cheer.
You'll have a chance if you win the next fight.
Let's practice together!
Yes!
Misa, misa, misa, Misakichi!
But I'll be fighting in the game.
