Excuse me...
This isn't the right place, either?
Excuse me, is Mr. Ichiro Mihara here?
Excuse me...
Who is it?
What's wrong?
Excuse me...
You're Ohjiro, aren't you?
Yes.
What's wrong? Do you want to see your big brother?
This...
He said this was important information for the meeting.
He forgot, again?
He's no good, is he?
I'm sorry.
So, would you like to play with this for a bit?
It's Angelic Layer.
Angelic Layer?
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
"Break Up the Magic Wall! Misaki Versus Ohjiro"
Go, Hikaru!
Hikaru!
Here it is! Magic Guard!
Magic Guard is the technique Wizard used at the Kansai Games' finals.
He throws back the opponent Angel without touching her.
It's truly like magic!
Why?
Wizard isn't moving at all...
What's going on?
Misaki.
Hikaru's weapon is speed.
Let's fight in a way that utilizes her speed.
Right.
Let's go, Hikaru!
Oh! Hikaru started running around Wizard!
What kind of tactic is this?!
Hikaru!
From behind?
She can do it.
It's an attack from the blind spot.
Hikaru!
No way! Hikaru!
No way!
Magic Guard has exploded!
Hikaru was thrown back again!
What's going on with that?
That's Wizard's technique.
Technique? He's not doing anything!
He appears to be that way but...
He throws back Hikaru without touching her...
I got it! Wind!
It's wind!
He must have thrown Hikaru back by using wind like Ranga.
Too bad!
At first I thought the same way but...
Hi! It's Ringo-chan!
How long have you been there?
Since the very beginning.
Isn't it good? It's a scene of bitter-sweet youth.
But the source of Magic Guard isn't wind.
If it's wind, hair and clothes should move when he used Magic Guard.
But Wizard's case, they didn't move.
Then, how?
That is...
I don't know, either!
It's no use.
No way!
Not again!
What's this?
He must be cheating!
Magic Guard is perfect!
He's completely guarding himself against Hikaru's attacks.
Will Ohjiro Mihara win after all?
It's no competition.
Hang in there, Misaki.
I don't understand what kind of technique Magic Guard is.
If I can't even touch Wizard, I can't win...
I'm sorry, Misaki-chan.
But I'll finish it now.
Avoid it, Hikaru!
Fantastic!
He stopped his attack at the same time as the finishing signal.
What fair play!
True to his title, Ohjiro Mihara, the young nobleman of the Layer!
Mr. Ohjiro you're so cool!
Look this way!
Taking your time, aren't you?
Big brother, did you take the liberty to cut into this line?
Isn't it for my cute little brother?
Give me a break.
By the way, big brother, did you confess to Ms. Shuko yet?
Why this so suddenly?
You shouldn't get into adults' conversation.
But if you both get married, Ms. Shuko will become my sister.
It's a family issue.
Ohjiro...
We're family, aren't we?
Don't be stupid.
Of course, we are.
I'm glad.
I won't forgive you, if you don't make her happy.
What're you talking about?
Nothing.
The fight will start soon. I'll hang up.
You idiot...
She didn't take as much damage as I thought.
She'll be okay.
Right.
Misaki?
You remember the promise, don't you?
Hikaru can still fight.
But once you give up, she can't fight anymore.
Once I give up, she can't fight anymore...
Now, the second round is starting.
Will Hikaru break through Wizard's Magic Guard after all
or will Wizard overpower Hikaru as he did in the first round?
And now, Angelic fight!
The promise...
The promise with Hatoko-chan...
I...
What am I here for?
Why?
What for?
I can't remember...
Yes.
That's right.
The reason why I made it this far is...
To fight against that white Angel.
One more game...
If I win one more game, I'll be able to fight against Athena.
Hikaru!
I need to watch Wizard's moves closely.
I need to think about why Hikaru gets thrown back.
Oh! What's going on?
Hikaru is charging at Wizard over and over again!
I need to find out!
Together with Hikaru!
That's right, Misaki.
You shouldn't give up.
Sorry, Hatoko-chan.
I'm going to keep the promise.
I want to fight against Athena too.
I don't want to stop here.
She's not giving up.
She really is her daughter.
But I can't lose, either.
What are you doing, Misakichi?
Are you crazy?
She's not.
Suzuhara is looking for Wizard's secret.
I just saw something.
Hikaru!
When she was thrown back, I saw some kind of flashing light.
Once more!
I saw it!
This time for sure...
Hikaru is making another dash at Wizard!
She's making ANOTHER dash?!
Sorry, Misaki-chan.
I'm afraid that my opponent isn't you.
Hikaru!
Wizard!
She did it!
Hikaru's Rolling Thunder exploded!
She hit him!
She did!
Hikaru's attack hit him!
But why?
It's static electricity.
The secret of Magic Guard is static electricity.
Wizard produces static electricity on his body,
and passes it to his opponent, bouncing her back.
I see.
It's grounding.
Hikaru let the static electricity go to the ground through that cable.
I'm really surprised that she saw it under these circumstances.
Misaki, you're amazing...
I...
Will definitely win this year!
Wizard counterattacks!
He doesn't seem shocked that Magic Guard was broken.
Only Magic Guard was broken.
I will win.
I'll win and get over her!
Amazing.
Even without Magic Guard, Wizard is...
Mr. Ohjiro is amazing!
Good job, Oh-chan.
He brings out the Angel's abilities to its fullest.
Is it because of his big brother?
I think it's because he had a good teacher.
I was panicked at that time.
You let him play with Angelic Layer.
But aren't you glad you let him keep playing Angelic Layer?
That's right. Good. Good job.
You have a real knack for it.
How is it? Is it fun?
Do you like the toy your big brother made?
Yes. The very best, big brother.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm not talking about Angelic Layer, not you.
What?!
That's what finally broke the ice,
and helped my big brother and I become family.
For me, Angelic Layer is a bond.
With my big brother and with Ms. Shuko...
Ms. Shuko, do you remember the first time we played Angelic Layer?
Since then...
Since then I've been in...
I never knew that Mr. Ohjiro fought like this.
So passionately and so intensively...
When I fought him before,
he never showed expressions on his face.
The second round is up!
Stop, Misaki!
Ohjiro, it's finished!
The second round is finished.
They couldn't hear the ending signal due to the white-hot battle.
We'll be going into the final round.
What happened, Misaki?
You look happier.
Do you think so?
Yes, very much so.
I see.
I'm happy.
Because Mr. Ohjiro did his best.
Because he's fighting without allowances.
The fight of Wizard vs. Hikaru is one of the best fights of the games.
Who will make it to the final,
Ohjiro Mihara, the young nobleman of the Layer
or Miracle Rookie Misaki Suzuhara?
And now, Angelic fight!
With one more game...
Against Athena...
I'm going to win.
I'll go to the final and definitely defeat Athena this time.
One more game.
One more game and I can fight against Athena.
Which one do you think will win?
Of course...
I won't forgive her if she loses before I defeat her.
Hikaru!
That's Athena's technique!
At this last minute...
She's some girl.
Once again, I will...
Once again...
Against Athena...
One more game.
I only have one more game!
It will end.
Yes, with the next blow.
It's a paper-thin line.
Whoever has the stronger feelings will win.
We have a little time left.
Which will make it to the final, Wizard or Hikaru?
Hikaru!
Wizard!
Hikaru wins!
We won...
I'm so thrilled she made it all the way here.
Good job, Misakichi!
Go, go, Misakichi! Good job, Misakichi!
I can't breathe...
She did it!
I can't believe that Ohjiro lost...
But it was the best fight.
Ohjiro...
Where are you going?
I'm going out to get roasted sweet chestnuts.
It's Ohjiro's favorite.
In that case, I'll go.
Don't worry.
I'll go myself...
You did it, Misaki!
Now you can go to the final!
Yes.
I can finally...
Did it...
Mr. Ohjiro?
Mr. Ohjiro...
Excuse me,
I can't say this well, but Wizard was very strong.
He was stronger than any Angel I've ever fought.
Well...
I tried to fight so my feelings would be seen through Hikaru.
I'm glad that I could fight against Wizard.
It was fun.
Thank you.
You, too.
Thank you very much for fighting seriously.
Misaki-chan.
Yes. Misaki-chan.
Yes.
Misaki-chan, may I ask you out for another date?
I think I've fallen in love with you.
Ah, in a raining city
An unexpected chance encounter
Ah, that familiar shirt
I didn't know that it was you
Yes, I was very timid
I could only see myself
At some point I leaned on you
And depended on your kindness
Through the countless nights
I found out what was important
I'm sure I won't hesitate anymore
Now that my eyes only see you
Amazing... The way Shirahime...
The way Miss Sai's fighting is like burning fire!
As to be expected when the opponent is Athena.
But look, Shu is the same.
Don't you feel something?
I feel something strong.
Accept firmly the feeling and its meaning.
