Now, the third match of the first round.
It's Suzuka, the contender for the title. And her opponent, Natasha!
She's a strong player who was first at the Chiba games.
Now, Angelic fight!
That's it!
As usual, another quick job!
She's jumped ahead to the semifinals!
She seems very relaxed.
We won't let her act like that In front of us.
You sound as if you're going to win.
I'm not going to lose to anybody until beat Hatoko Kobayashi.
Even if it's either of you.
If you can beat that girl first...
Do you mean that we'll lose to a girl like her?
Now we have the last match of the second round!

Mean Sisters! Hikaru, the Target
Now we have less than 30 seconds left!
Hikaru has taken charge of the fight, but it's becoming a white-hot battle!
Here she goes! She made a daring attack at the last moment!
It may become a critical point!
And time is up!
Whether it's a win or a loss will be determined by points!
It's Hikaru as we expected!
She won an exciting fight to make it to the final eight players!
Don't lose to anybody but me, okay?
Do you remember?
Hatoko-chan!
You're keeping your promise to me.
Yes, I barely made it though.
Let's keep winning and meet on the Layer one more time.
It's hard fighting against veterans, but I'll do my best!
Their record doesn't matter.
The important thing is how strong you are while you're on the Layer.
Yes. It doesn't matter in Angelic Layer.
Your age or height doesn't matter.
I want to fight against Misaki one more time.
I believe we can fight!
Hatoko-chan...
Let's make the promise again!
Yes.
See you later.
She's puffed up!
We're the ones who will beat Hatoko Kobayashi.
I won't let such a new comer butt in!
Arisu! We absolutely must not lose!
Yes, I know.
Misakichi! The strongest!
Where? Where's the champion?
Delicious!
Salmon sandwiches, huh?
Yes, salmon tastes good with bread, too.
Yes, it's delicious!
I'm so glad!
OW! You follow too many "how to's" with the "admiring her food" love tactic!
OW! You! You! You!
Miss Seto?
Miss Seto!
Why don't you come and have lunch with us?
How did you know it was me?
Because your dress and hairstyle are the same...
It was a case of "cover my head and expose my bottom, " right?
She's quite absent-minded.
Hey! That's rude!
It's okay, it's okay, because she's right!
And this straightforward personality!
Excuse me.
What were you doing?
I escaped from my manager.
It's my day off today, but once I lost, she gave me unscheduled work!
She's a real slave driver.
Excuse me, is Ranga all right?
She's all right.
She just needed her outer skin changed.
Thank you for worrying.
Is that right? I'm so glad...
You're really a funny girl,
worrying about the injuries of the Angel you fought.
Because if Hikaru got injured, I'd be sad too.
I've decided! I'll become your friend!
I want to be friends with Misaki!
Yes!
In that case, calling her "Misakichi" sounds friendlier.
Misakichi, sounds so cute!
I'll call her "Misakichi" too!
Please do! Please do!
Hey, hey! Without making sure with her...
It's okay. I'm happy to be called "Misakichi" by Miss Seto!
Because I've got another friend!
Call me Ringo. We're friends, right?
Yes!
Who is that Angel?
You don't know?
She's Blanche, the representative of Kanazawa.
Blanche...
She's so beautiful...
She's a light weight type, emphasizing speed, same as Hikaru.
Good job, Blanche! The opponent can't even touch her!
She just burns out her energy for nothing.
That's it!
Blanche wins!
She advances to the semifinal!
And this! Here is her usual healing smile!
Miss Kaede! And this! Here is her usual healing smile!
Miss Kaede!
I want to protect you!
I'm sure so many fans cherish Kaede Saito's smile in their hearts.
She looks like a gentle person.
Yes. She's very nice but Blanche is not that easy.
East Corner, the Angel is Shirahime!
The Deus is Sai Jounouchi!
Miss Sai!
You're so cool!
So much cheering...
She's the precision ice machine.
She was last year's runner-up.
Sai Jounouchi is overwhelming!
This elegant and cold-headed fighting style is the reason
why she's called the "precision ice machine."
I maybe able to fight with someone like her.
Fighting to look for stronger opponents!
You're becoming a serious fighting girl, Misakichi!
Hello, Miss Misaki Suzuhara.
Mr. Ohjiro?
What? Who is he?
I can't believe it! Ohjiro Mihara?
Do you know him, Miss Ringo?
There's no way that I don't know the Layer's young nobleman.
The Layer's young nobleman?
He won the Kansai games two years in a row,
and he was the runner up at the nationals two years in a row.
Didn't you know that?
I never knew that!
You're also cute when you're surprised,
but isn't it time for you to return to the venue?
Oh, my goodness! My game!
See you later!
Please have some sandwiches, since there are some left.
Go, Misakichi! Aim for the top!
Yes!
Thank you, Mr. Ohjiro.
Misaki Suzuhara... She certainly is like her...
Ringo!
Manager?!
Wait!
Ringo! Wait!
Enter the rival! You'd better pull yourself together!
Ouch! It's hurting my back! Enter the rival! You'd better pull yourself together!
You! You! You!
Sis.
Shoko.
Why don't you go see her?
She must want to see her mother.
I can't.
Not yet.
I may keep pushing you all the way to Misaki.
You'd never do anything other people wouldn't like...
You're so stubborn.
Miss Misaki Suzuhara?
Yes?
She's as small as I thought.
I'm Madoka Fujisaki.
The next opponent...
Yes.
To be honest, my sister said that she really wants to see your Angel.
Hikaru?
Because she's so cute and so strong!
I know about Suzuka and Shirahime, but I don't know about yours.
I also make Angels.
So I'm interested in strong Angels.
I told her to do this after the match,
but she said it'd be awkward after one had won and the other lost.
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm so pleased that you like Hikaru!
Here you go.
She's so tiny.
She's made super light, isn't she?
Yes! I made her to be able to strive Even though she's tiny.
How wonderful!
Thank you very much.
It was very helpful to me.
No.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much for allowing my younger sister her selfishness.
See you later on the Layer.
Yes!
Ladies and gentlemen! This will be the last battle of the day.
The last of the top four players will be chosen!
East Corner, the Angel is Hikaru!
And the Deus is Misaki Suzuhara!
Misaki-chan!
Do your best, Hikaru!
Wow! The miracle rookie that beat Ranga is getting big cheers!
Lots of people are watching Hikaru.
If I do well with Hikaru, I can make more friends.
Angelic Layer is so awesome!
Go, go, Misaki! Do your best, do your best, Hikaru!
Misakichi has fans! Go, go, Misaki! Do your best, do your best, Hikaru!
Suzuhara's fight has won everybody's heart. Go, go, Misaki! Do your best, do your best, Hikaru!
Suzuhara's fight has won everybody's heart.
I love you, Misaki-chan!
If only Kotaro-chan could be honest like him...
West Corner, the Angel is Mao and the Deus is Madoka Fujisaki!
Madoka Fujisaki herself is also a Kung Fu student.
She gives her skill to her Angel to defeat many strong contestants.
I'll ask the next question.
Hatoko, who is the player you're keeping your eyes on the most?
Let's take a break.
And now, Entry Angel!
Wings of an Angel! Please guide me and Hikaru!
Angel, fall in!
Hit! Slash! Break! Mao's fist is my fist!
Angel, fall in!
And now, Angelic fight!
This is our greeting!
She's fast!
Pretty good, but not good enough!
We might not need Arisu's toy after all.
Arisu, the younger sister, is a genius Angel builder.
She taps the talent of the Deus, the Kung Fu abilities of the older sister.
These sisters are very tough.
Usually a player makes her own Angel,
but her younger sister makes them instead,
and that increases her power, right?
Yes. Unpyo was strong last year,
but Mao is even stronger...
I need to watch the opponent like I usually do.
Now!
Hikaru's kick hit her! It's her first counterattack!
You did it, Misakichi!
She sees the opponent's offense clearly!
Mao attacks continuously but it doesn't hit!
Hikaru defends!
It's not something interesting, if you just make or control it. Hikaru defends!
It's not something interesting, if you just make or control it.
She dodges! She adjusts her timing, and attacks again!
She's sent flying with a kick penetrating her defense!
This is a development Mao didn't expect!
She's being pressed back...
She has a slight opening...
In her heart...
How cheeky!
They exchange kicks!
She counters and hits!
Mao is driven to the edge!
No kidding! We shouldn't
lose someone like you!
Our real opponent is Hatoko Kobayashi!
We can't lose right now!
Hikaru!
Misaki?
What's wrong, Misakichi?!
Hikaru's movements are strange!
They must be doing a naughty trick...
It's not fun at all...
How? Why doesn't Hikaru move properly?
Hikaru!
Konya mo mata hakanai hoshizora
Hikaru hoshi ni negai o kakeru kara...

Hokoreru hoshini naru tame boku wa utau kara

Don't you cook for yourself, Mr. Icchan?
I'm specialized in eating.
Cooking is fun. And I feel happy when it turns out to be tasty.
Do you know that custard pudding with soy sauce tastes like sea urchin?
I guess it's so called "idea cooking."
That's wrong!
And cucumber with honey makes the taste of melon.
Avocado with wasabi makes...
Please be an "eater," Mr. Icchan.
