You haven't decided yet?
Yes.
I need to make it in perfect harmony with you.
You're particular about it, even though you don't fight for yourself.
I'm not good at controlling it,
but I can't stand when the Angel I made loses.
Don't worry.
Because there's no one who can dodge my Kung Fu technique.
This is a white-hot second match of the semifinals.
Neither of them will budge.
Who will win and go to the finals? Suzuka or Unpyo?
The Third National Games
Suzuka wins!
Hatoko Kobayashi beat Madoka Fujisaki, the Kung Fu master!
She's really a miracle kindergarten kid!
I lost to a kindergarten kid...
I can't believe we lost to an Angel a four-year-old made!
Next time...
We'll win next time for sure, Arisu!
I'll definitely make an Angel stronger than Suzuka.
A little star shining far in the night sky
Probably nobody has found it yet
But it's shining so brightly, never giving up
It's just like me somehow
At the corner of a street full with different people
I'm about to become unsure what is real
Looking for myself, stretching the antenna of my heart
I know the excitement, I wanna get it!
The dream is here
It's always right here near me
No matter how small it is
Yes, it becomes the beginning
Someday I will meet
The one and only me
I should believe more, there is a future
Be my only angel
"Finish It Off! Hikaru & Mao's Important Game"
I'm Madoka Fujisaki.
The next opponent...
Yes.
To be honest, my sister said that she really wants to see your Angel.
She's so tiny.
She's made super light, isn't she?
Our real opponent is Hatoko Kobayashi!
We can't lose right now!
What's wrong, Misakichi?!
Hikaru's movements are strange!
They must be doing a naughty trick...
Hikaru!
What's wrong, Hikaru?
I've been doing it as I usually do, so why?
Why can't I make Hikaru move properly?
Where are you going, Chief?
I'm going to shut it down.
Hikaru's strange movements...
They're caused by a spatial coordinate marker
which has been facing quantum interference.
The index file of the Layer doesn't show any error.
Does that mean there is interference with the Deus' thought transmission?
Yes.
I can't think of anything but someone putting a transmitter on Hikaru.
Who? Did Madoka Fujisaki?
You shouldn't say unreasonable things!
Because there's no evidence...
Hello, big brother.
Ohjiro.
Ohjiro! I didn't know you were here!
I'm sorry that my older brother always causes you troubles.
You shouldn't say things you don't mean.
I assume you're going to stop the fight, right?
There are rules to the game.
Anybody who can't follow them needs to be punished.
Well then,
could you let me take care of this mischief?
The situation has suddenly reversed!
Mao is driving Hikaru into the corner seeking the Layer-out.
She's hanging in there!
She's a strong contestant to make it here.
As expected, she shows her persistence.
Darn!
You're a bad loser even though you're so tiny!
We can't waste our time with someone like you!
We came here to defeat Hatoko Kobayashi!
Hatoko-chan?
We can't stand being beaten by such a little kid.
We can't regain our lost pride, until we defeat her!
It's strange to think like that!
I understand that you get upset when you lose.
But this is different!
Different?
I don't think it's fun to play Angelic Layer while thinking that way.
Fun?
Big talk from someone younger!
Age is not supposed to matter playing Angelic Layer!
Anybody can shine together with their Angel on the Layer.
That's why it's fun!
Shut up!
Mao stepped back.
Will she finish it off?
This is the end!
Relax. Watch your opponent closely!
I'm the one that makes Hikaru move!
If I don't do my best, Hikaru can't do her best either!
Misaki!
That white Angel was also doing her best, even though she was tiny.
Impossible!
Hikaru's attack pulled the game out of the fire!
We don't know who'll win or lose!
No way!
We meet again, Arisu.
Mr. Ohjiro?
What are you doing, Arisu?!
Are we found out?
Let go of my hand, please.
I love Angelic Layer.
It's possible to create an Angel with your love, courage and wisdom.
I love the world where it's possible to have this kind of fight.
That's why I can't tolerate something other than skill deciding the winner or loser.
You're not going to use the thing in your pocket anymore, right?
Thank you.
Why isn't the match suspended?
They must know we did some trick on Hikaru.
What's the matter?
Excuse me, are you all right?
I thought you couldn't concentrate.
Did you become ill?
No, I didn't.
I'm glad!
You should've attacked me while I lost concentration but...
What a girl...
"Anybody can shine together with their Angel, " huh?
Now I remember.
Now, let's go!
Yes!
We have a little time left.
Who is going to make it to the semifinals?
We have a little time left.
Who is going to make it to the semifinals?
Now, let's go!
Yes!
What a fierce exchange of blows!
They can't relax for a moment!
Good job, Misakichi! Go, go, go, go!
It's Suzuka's technique. Good job, Misakichi! Go, go, go, go!
If you use Suzuka's technique,
I'll show you tactics to counter Suzuka!
Invisible Dragon's Fang!
It's amazing!
Mao's attack looks like a dragon with a gem in its hands while flying!
It's literally a dragon's fang!
Invisible Dragon's Fang!
Hikaru!
She's doing pretty good.
Rolling Thunder won't work if she comes in low.
Neither guarding nor attacking do any good...
This is the final blow!
What shall I do?
What shall I...
She jumped! Hikaru went even higher than Mao!
Amazing!
You're amazing, Misaki!
Let's go, Hikaru!
Hikaru finished it off!
That's it!
Hikaru defeated Mao after a breathless offense and defense!
That's what I thought.
She did it!
Good job, Misakichi!
Nice, nice, Hikaru!
Something incredible is happening. Nice, nice, Hikaru!
Something incredible is happening.
She'll be out of our reach one day.
I'm sorry to have interrupted you.
If she keeps winning her games,
they'll end up meeting even if they don't want to.
Excuse me,
is she all right?
Is your Angel hurt?
She had some lint.
Thank you very much.
It was fun.
Thanks.
You're so reckless.
I'm sorry.
Well, I'm relieved that you called me.
Go back soon.
You need to take care of yourself.
Yes.
How did he find out?
I hate Ohjiro Mihara!
I ended up losing without fighting Suzuka.
What did I make Mao for then?
Well, when we thought about using the cheap trick,
we ended up losing to her and Suzuka.
I may try to make an Angel for myself next time.
You mean you don't like the Angels I make?
I don't mean that.
I mean "why don't you try to control an Angel for yourself?"
Me?
I was busy focusing on something stupid,
and I forgot that Angelic Layer was something fun.
Fun?
Once you play with her,
you'll see that things like age don't matter to play Angelic Layer.
We'll introduce the semifinalists.
Please wait until we're ready.
Yes.
The semifinals...
Is this real?
I couldn't even jump over the vaulting box during class...
Misaki.
Hatoko-chan!
Should I say "congratulations" or "thank you"?
At last.
Yes.
Even though we don't know the match-up of the semifinals yet.
Didn't I tell you that I believe I can fight against you one more time?
Yes.
Hello.
It was a good fight.
You're Blanche's...
How do you do?
I'm Kaede Saito.
Nice to meet you.
How do you do? I'm Misaki Suzuhara.
She's so tall...
Sai Jounouchi.
Nice to meet you.
Yes. Pleased to meet you.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Please enter.
Yes.
Once you make the first step, you'll be able to walk naturally.
That's how it goes.
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to seeing if you can overcome Hikaru's weak point
before you fight against me.
Hikaru's weak point?
Weak point?
That's something that can't be helped.
Right.
But she needs to overcome it.
Won't you give her your advice?
She'll find it.
If she doesn't find it herself, it won't become her true strength.
You understand?
Misaki Suzuhara.
She never gives up and always does her best.
And above all, she loves her Angel.
Isn't she exactly the same as the champion?
Yes.
I'd love to fight against her.
It will come sometime soon.
Sad feelings, starry night sky again tonight
I wish upon a shining star, so...
Hikaru's weak point? I wish upon a shining star, so...
Trouble is always never-ending
But the door has already been opened
You gave me strength to stand up when I'm stepped on, or I fall
I sing to become a star I can be proud of
I will try harder than ever because I want to be stronger
Steady love, such precious love
I cherish you more than anybody else
I have some unsure nights but
We keep on living without losing
I see the next opponent is a karate athlete.
And I heard Hikaru isn't fighting, but you are.
It's not that! Kotaro-chan will show me karate at his house.
You're challenging martial arts halls to defeat the members?!
No, it's not that...
All right! Go for it!
If you get ten hall signs, you'll win a free trip to Hawaii!
