Here she goes!
Today's audience is so lucky!
What's this?
This is Blanche's Hyper Mode.
Hyper Mode?
Blanche becomes hyperactive when her damage exceeds 50. 1%.
To avoid anymore damage, it attacks without a limiter.
Is there such a setting?
No, no. It's a bug.
It's like a secret trick left only in the first Angels' program.
Why didn't you recall them?
Do you want to know?
Users exceeded the creators' imaginations.
That's how toy sare.
And...
And?
The first model was created with difficulty.
I have too much feeling for them.
Is it Misaki?
It's ironic, isn't it?
Hikaru and Misaki-chan face this, because she loved the first Angel.

"I Won't Give Up! And an Angel Was Born"
Honey...
How is she?
She's all right, once she settled down.
Did she get worse in the car?
She certainly wasn't feeling well, but...
Miss Shoko said she'd make her meet Misaki-chan.
It seems like she couldn't make up her mind yet.
No way! She hasn't told her daughter anything?
Yes.
If she keeps winning,
her mother will meet her at a game in a wheelchair.
No. I doubt it'll happen if her opponent is Blanche or Suzuka-chan.
She'll be fine, but think about how Misaki-chan feels.
Shuko's not that strong.
Mom?
What's wrong, Mom?
Nothing.
I'm all right.
Shuko, are you sure you'll be okay on your own?
I'm sorry, but it's my job.
Please take care of Misaki.
Misaki. I'll be right back after I finish this work.
Do your best at your job, Mom.
I'll be all right.
Ms. Shuko has a disease, "Degenerative Neural Syndrome."
It's a disease that confuses the nervous system,
and blocks the brain's orders.
The muscles and bones are normal,
but the orders to move the legs don't reach them.
To find a cure, she had to stay in the hospital for a long time.
Please don't do it.
But Misaki-chan is already in elementary school.
Why don't you call her?
She thinks I'm busy with work, so she'll think I lied to her.
Sis!
I don't want to worry her, because I'm sure I'll get better soon.
Oops!
Oh my.
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm Ichiro Mihara of Medical Technical.
He was a chief designer for a big medical equipment maker.
He was involved in researching Degenerative Neural Syndrome.
Now, please hold an image of the blue lamp turned on.
Red lamp.
Is something wrong?
No. I had fun watching the lights go on as I wished!
Existing prosthetics were unsuitable for Ms. Shuko's disease.
But if the brain's signals reached the prosthetic directly,
Chief Mihara's studies could make walking possible.
The best I can do right now is move something this size.
But if we continue the study, we'll be able to move something THIS big.
Amazing!
For our study...
Would you let me cooperate with you?
Yes!
Their challenge started on that day.
Are you okay?
The study went well.
They hit a point where brain waves could control a small machine.
And when they were to start developing a full-scale prosthetic...
How much do you think we've been spending on this?
Money! We can't get the budget!
Most of the budget has been spent in the last two years.
They said they can't risk giving us money anymore.
But we finished most of the tests on the dolls.
The dolls are just dolls.
We need more money to go beyond this point.
I'm sorry, Ms. Shuko.
Let's go home, Sis.
Let's send for Misaki-chan and live together.
No!
Don't you want to see Misaki-chan?
No! No!
Sis! I understand that you can't accept the way you are now,
but there are good mothers with worse diseases also in wheelchairs.
Yet you're...
I had a dream.
A day would come when not only I,
but everybody who suffers could walk on their legs.
You're the one who gave me that dream!
I'm sorry.
I wish I could have let Misaki play with this too.
Because she loves dolls.
Wait! Please wait!
We can do it! We can continue!
Chief Mihara planned to get the budget in away nobody thought of.
The plan was to switch the know-how used for testing over to toys,
and pass on all profits and royalties from sales to the research budget.
A Deluge of Preorders for Angel Eggs
Four years after they met, Angel Eggs finally went on sale.
A Deluge of Preorders for Angel Eggs
Official Tournament Games National Games
They became a big seller and the research was quickly resumed.
Misaki-chan is already in middle school.
She says she's coming to Tokyo on her own.
She really wants to see you.
If we collect various kinds of brain wave data at all the Layer games,
the accuracy will improve.
Please take care of Misaki.
Sis! I'll bring her to you.
Please wait until this is completed.
If I see Misaki now, I'll be unable to do anything for her.
Tokyo Station
I went to meet her, but she's the one who chose to do Angelic Layer.
It's not destiny.
Hikaru... Please...
Hikaru! Avoid it!
Hikaru...
She stood up! Angel Hikaru stood up!
Blanche's Hyper Mode is meant to defeat the opponent with one blow!
No Angel has ever stood up after a direct hit.
It's amazing that she stands ready to fight after that attack.
She's amazing, but Kaede and Blanche are incredible.
Hikaru! Don't lose!
Suzuhara...
Can you still fight, Hikaru?
Whoa! What happened? Blanche's movements are slowing!
What's wrong?
She looks hurt.
If Blanche were human, it'd be like making her run again after a marathon.
She must want to scream.
In that case, why doesn't she turn off Hyper Mode?
Kaede won't turn it off.
We can do it!
Isn't it better to quit now?
Anything wrong?
Because Blanche seems to be hurting.
She maybe in pain.
It may be hurting her.
That's the way the Hyper Mode is, I've heard.
No way! I feel so sorry for her!
Here we go!
Why?
She said Blanche is like her own child.
But does she want to win even though she's in such pain?
Blanche, Hyper Mode!
Again?!
She's using Hyper Mode to the end.
It means Hikaru is a very strong opponent.
Will her opponent destroy herself if she keeps using Hyper Mode?
No.
Hikaru has more damage points already.
If Hikaru gets any more hits, she'll lose.
Misakichi! Do something!
Get away, Hikaru!
She escaped.
Get away! Move quicker, Hikaru!
I don't want to hurt Hikaru anymore.
Both Angels are emphasized in speed, so if she moves faster...
Oh, no!
She moved the fastest she's ever moved, yet she still couldn't dodge.
Angel Hikaru sustained a lot of damage.
Can she still move?
If she doesn't move, even if she has points left, it'll be a knock out.
What should I do?
If I don't so something, I'll end up hurting Hikaru.
I can't. I can't make Hikaru suffer.
Even if I win, I won't be able to see my mom...
It's better to stay down.
She's going to relinquish the game?
Misaki!
Hikaru!
Don't give up!
Oh! Loud cheers for Hikaru from all over the site!
But she shows no sign of moving!
Hikaru, stand up!
But...
Please look at the Layer.
Hikaru, can you still fight?
I can hear Blanche's voice.
She's saying she wants to fight full strength.
She wants to lose a game only after she does her best.
That's why I don't quit the fight even if Blanche is hurting so much.
Can you hear Hikaru's voice?
She stood up!
Hikaru is injured, yet she stood up!
Thank you very much.
Blanche will fight at full strength to respond to her fighting spirit.
Not again!
She's all right.
Suzuhara...
Misakichi hasn't given up.
Misaki...
I don't want to lose.
We'll win!
Evan if... Even if Hikaru gets hurt!
She lowered her guard!
It's just like asking to be hit in the stomach!
Ms. Shuko told me the other day,
that it's not the Angel fighting, but the Deus' heart.
Here I come!
Blanche's kick explodes!
Hikaru was wide open!
Is she finally defeated?
YES! Hikaru did it!
She turned the game around at the last minute!
She defeated Hyper Blanche and made it to the final game!
YES! Misakichi did it!!
Amazing!
Yes...
She let down her guard deliberately to stop the attack.
Once she starts, she'll fight until the end.
She's same as her.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough...
Excuse me. Thank you very much.
Just now, I felt as though my mother had scolded me.
I don't have a mother.
Is that what it is like?
I'd like to thank you for fighting full strength until the end.
It was a wonderful fight...
Miss Misakichi.
Misaki-chan made it to the final game.
It's not too late.
I thought she'd win.
Shall we have dinner?
Geez...
Why didn't you attack Hikaru's weakness?
Because you found it.
You're still the same.
You haven't changed, either, since back then.
I'll defeat Hikaru.
Ah, tenki ame no machi de
Fui ni guuzen surechigau
Ah, mioboe no aru shatsu

The next battle's worth seeing.
It's a battle of very skilled players.
Which'll win, the wisdom of age
or power of the miracle kindergarten kid?
Hatoko-chan will! I'm sure Hatoko-chan will win!
After all, there are things in life where you need to have experience.
And Jounouchi has experienced tough times.
Height or age doesn't matter!
Hatoko-chan made a promise!
