A cornerstone of my Gold Force...
I cannot believe The Baron of Euro was beaten already.
Ultimately, Deborah Kizaki was a man just in it for the money.
The name "Gold Force" was too heavy for him.
Youngster, is that sarcasm directed at me, a mercenary?
Oh, how impolite of me...
But, you're not so soft that sarcasm would get to you, are you?
You're a cunning brat.
Speaking of, that guy's not here yet?
No.
He seems to be running a little late.
If I recall...
He said he had some business he wanted to take care of first.
B-Business, you say?
Now, don't be so touchy...
The game has just begun.
Let's take our time and enjoy it, shall we?
Mister Hayainen...
At this rate, we'll arrive at the venue too early.
Pardon me, Miss Brown.
I can't help driving fast when I take hold of the steering wheel...
It's a habit I can't break.
HERO BANK
Off-site Sprint! Catch Up, Overtake, Uproot!!
Off-site Sprint!
Catch Up, Overtake, Uproot!
What, Kaito?!
Why are you shouting first thing in the morning?
Hey, Sis, wanna take a look?
This awesome one popped out!
I'm starting the morning off with a nugget of good luck!
Hey, don't be stupid!
Go get ready and get out of here already!
You're meeting your friends at the station, aren't you?
Whoa, that's right!
See ya, Sis.
Flush for me!
Huh?
Jeez! Kaito, you idiot!
Flush it yourself!
Red
Taxi
Gosh, Kaito-kun sure is late.
We agreed to meet here and head to the Hero Wars finals venue together, though.
Punctuality is a fundamental of business, too.
Hey!
Big Money Shopping District
Sorry I kept you waiting!
Hey, don't do that!
That's dangerous, though!
Kaito-kun!
Kaito!
Are you all right?
You!
Huh?
Suddenly jumping out like that is dangerous!
Sorry, old man.
O-Old man?
Sorry, old man.
I had somewhere I needed to go in a hurry, so I just...
Somewhere you wanted to go in a hurry?
Yeah.
Sorry to have you give us a lift, even if it is on your way.
Don't mention it!
We're both going to the same place.
Oh?
I get the feeling I've seen this person somewhere before.
This is it, this is it!
'Kay, then, thanks!
You really helped us out, old man!
O-Old man?
Look!
This is the Big Money Hero Wars finals venue!
There are so many people, though!
Today is the first day of the finals, after all!
It's a given that there'll be a crowd!
Don't, Kaito-kun!
No running at the venue!
I can't help it!
This is...
Segalion!
It really is!
The victor gets the ten billion yen prize
and is conferred the right to challenge the champion, Ryouta Arashiyama's Segalion!
I'm sure that's the appeal, though.
Hey! Let's take some pictures!
Segalion
Here I go, though!
Segalion
It's like we turned into Segalion!
Huh? Where's Fukuta-kun?
Take a look.
This is the latest model Bankfon
that makes it easy for anyone to get started in the currently popular Hero Battles!
Tee-hee, though!
This is a Hero Battle free trial booth.
They're trying to expand the user base after gathering attention with the Hero Wars!
We should learn from this!
If there's anything you don't understand,
ask your big sister here anything you like!
I want to be taught all sorts of things by you, too, though!
No!
Pratfall!
I know this one!
It's Tea Picking Cat!
It's so cute!
All right!
Huh? Why?
I thought this might happen...
so I came prepared, though!
Pratfall!
This fragrant, heartwarming smell!
Yummy Sticks
I was right! This is...
the limited edition Victory Flavor Yummy Stick!
A Big Money Hero Wars Tournament Commemorative! A 100-stick limit!
And it's the last...
Yummy Stick
Tournament Exclusive Victory Flavor
...one!
Looks like it, though!
There's no choice left but to buy it!
And, what sort of flavor is it?
I don't care if it's just flour! I want to try a taste, though!
All right! I'll buy it!
Huh?
What's with you?
Did you come to buy this, too?
Too bad.
This is the last one.
That's mine.
What're you talking about?
I grabbed it first, so it's mine!
Fine...
Depressing...
Hey, wait.
You want it that bad?
I'll let you have it, then.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Besides, if I don't savor the sweet taste of victory on my own,
then there's no meaning to it.
I don't need it.
What? I let you have it because you said you wanted it!
I don't need it.
Huh? I don't get you at all.
Here, take it.
Don't need it.
Huh?
They were fighting over the Yummy Stick, but...
Now they're pushing it on one another, though.
Here!
No need.
Here!
No need.
Here!
No need.
Oh, my, you're the kid from earlier.
Here!
No need.
Here!
Who're you?
Old man, you came at a good time.
I'll give this to you.
Huh?
To thank you for giving me a ride here in your car.
Don't be shy, eat up!
Er, but...
Hi! Thank you all for waiting!
Ah, it's Maki-poop!
Kaito-kun! That's just way too much!
The first round of the Hero Wars finals will soon begin!
Participants, as well as those who wish to watch,
are kindly asked to gather promptly in the main stadium!
This has been Maki's Information Time!
Oh, if we don't hurry, all the seats'll be taken!
What about this?
Like I said, you can have it!
Well... since he gave it to me, I suppose I'll eat it.
How is the flavor?
It's not bad, but...
it's a flavor I've tasted plenty of times before...
Um, excuse me...
I haven't received payment for the Yummy Stick yet.
Awesome!
Check it out!
At this venue, the latest equipment allows you
to view battles you can normally only watch through Bankfons
as 3D images, as though they were real!
Awesome!
It's like data is the real world!
That's right!
The data airspace.
It is an infinite frontier!
Who will be the strongest of the next-generation
big-name virtual fighters who assemble in that false world?
The battle to decide that will be the Big Money Hero Wars Finals!
Big Money Hero Wars
It's happening right here, right now!
And these are the thirty-two men and women of valor
A Block Big Money Hero Wars Finals B Block
Champion
who fought their way through the rigorous preliminaries!
Oh, Kaito is in the B block
Messa Hayainen Kaito Gosho
Nagare Amano
and Nagare is in the A block, though.
In other words...
The two of them won't face one another unless they make it to the final round!
Next, a message from the Hero Battle champion,
Ryouta Arashiyama!
Welcome...
to the festival to decide the strongest of them all!
I'm looking forward to your passionate battles, fight leaders!
Also, whoever wins the championship
will battle the strongest in the world: my Segalion!
I'll be waiting!
Now! Right here, the Hero Wars curtain rises!
Raise Curtain
Fish Samurai!
Wild Shark Slash!
Fish!
No, finish!
The one to take command of the hearty power match with Heavy Builder
was Fish Samurai: Isshin Uminari!
Good going, Isshin!
The next competitor puts the fearsomeness of women on display!
She pulverized Scissors Beauty!
Winner: Shadow Kitty, Hana Akinai!
Nice, Hana-chan!
She started off favorably.
Isshin and Hana both made it through their first matches, huh?
I wonder if it'll be my turn soon.
And at last, the final match of the first round's A block!
He appeared like a comet and advanced through the preliminaries undefeated:
Nagare Amano!
It's Nagare...
He's finally...
Nagare...
He took out the Snipe Sweeper he used to use in just one attack...
Way too amazing, though...
It's over!
The Dominion Dollar insta-killed Snipe Sweeper!
This sets a new record for the shortest Hero Wars battle time!
Hi, everyone!
This is your master of ceremonies, Maki Kashii!
Let's get an interview right away with Nagare Amano,
who just won a splendid victory!
First, please give us a comment on how you feel right now.
Today... I advanced.
And...
I will keep on winning just like this.
Anyone who wants to fight me,
come as far as the finals.
Yeah! Of course, Nagare!
I'll definitely win my way to the top and fight you!
Then I'll turn you back to your old self!
Now, then!
Next up in the increasingly hot Hero Wars Finals:
the B block!
The first match will be...
The elementary school company president who continues to advance,
the one you all know, Kaito Gosho!
He's up against the former F1 champ!
Back when he was active, he was called the Red Gale of the Circuit!
Hayainen Messa!
Ah, the old man from before!
I never thought the fight leader I would fight would be you.
I'm looking forward to this battle.
Here we go!
Yeah!
Bankfon G, activate!
Job change!
Enter the Gold!
Enter the Gold
Job change!
This is mine!
The Grand Prix
The Grand Prix!
Here we go!
It's Enter the Gold, who defeated The Baron of Euro
and whose win count is rising fast,
versus the speed of sound Hero Suit, The Grand Prix!
A battle you can't look away from is about to begin!
Kaito-kun!
Kaito!
Hero Battle...
Fight!
Here I go!
Huh?
Where are you aiming?
I'm right here!
When did you...?!
No less from Hayainen Messa!
Due to an accident during a race, he regrettably retired from driving.
Afterward, while managing a company he started up,
he's been participating in Hero Battles as a hobby!
In that case...
Yes.
Since the former F1 racer, Hayainen,
is fighting with the Hero Suit The Grand Prix, which stresses speed,
he's like an ogre fighting with a metal stick!
Or Kaito-kun with a Yummy Stick!
Darn it all!
Quit darting around!
What's wrong?
If you won't come to me, I'll go to you!
Tire Shot!
Spin Attack!
Flipping!
He can't do a thing, though!
He's no match for The Grand Prix when it comes to speed!
If it's come to this...
An eye for an eye! A butt for a butt!
And speed for speed!
Job switch!
Enter the Speed!
Enter the Speed
Oh! Kaito Gosho has switched jobs at this point to Enter the Speed!
An evolved form specializing in high speed movement.
Now, how will you fight, Kaito?
Here I go!
What?!
Over here!
Not bad!
However!
Whoa, this is unprecedented!
It's a battle gone way, way off the premises, a first since Hero Battles began!
Listen up!
You should learn that battles aren't decided by the Hero Suit's abilities alone!
Incredible!
The Grand Prix overtook him!
Kaito-kun was...
...overtaken, though!
That's a former F1 champ for you!
There's a remarkable difference between their skills when moving at high speed!
Think you're clever, don't ya?!
Give it up already!
Nobody, no matter who they may be, can catch up to me!
What's that?!
I won't lose!
Kaito!
When did he show up?!
You're not one to let it end here!
Remember your fight with me!
I never thought you'd care enough about a rival to say something so suggestive!
That's our Bro.
Almost makes him sound like someone who didn't lose in the preliminaries!
What's this?
Enter the Speed seems to be slowing down.
So it's happening after all!
Enter the Speed is a Hero Suit that makes high speeds possible,
but also puts a tremendous burden on the body.
At this rate, Kaito won't hold up!
What's wrong?
Run out of gas?
Shut up!
I just got sick of chasing after your butt!
So you gave up, huh?
In that case, I'll deliver the finishing blow!
What?
Spin Attack!
No way!
I won't give up!
I'll clang right into anything head-on, no matter what it is!
God Speed!
What?!
I'll do it!
No way!
How could I be overtaken?!
Here I go!
Explosive Mega Crash!
It can't be!
You won't get out of this unscathed, either!
Don't underestimate elementary schoolers!
Stop it!
Wow, what a massive crash!
Enter the Speed and The Grand Prix...
Will this be a double knockout?!
Why did it turn out like this?
Hayainen could have evaded it with his cornering technique, though.
No.
Hayainen is a former F1 racer...
Even if he can shake off opponents that chase after him,
he wouldn't evade opponents who charge at him head-on!
At the risk of his life, Kaito-kun faced him down and settled it with his skill!
But...
It turned into something like a traffic accident, though...
I absolutely can't afford to lose here!
Kaito is...
He's up!
The winner is Enter the Speed, Kaito Gosho!
He blew away The Grand Prix!
Are you okay, old man?
Why?
Why?!
Why were you able to stand up?
"Why"?
I can't afford to lose.
Because there's someone I have to fight, no matter what!
I see.
As you pursue tomorrow's victory,
and I am burdened with yesterday's victories...
There was no way I could overtake you.
Miss Brown.
It turned out to be a shorter holiday than expected, huh?
Yes.
Once we go home, it'll get hectic again...
But it was fun.
My battle with that young man...
Those passionate feelings...
I have a request, Miss Brown.
Yes?
As soon as we get home,
could you look for a top class Hero Battle trainer for me?
Huh?
I'd like to start training immediately once we arrive.
My dream as a racer was severed by that accident, but...
Now I have a new dream I want to pursue!
Messa... Dear!
Miss Brown.
Kaito-kun, thank you.
You truly are a mysterious kid...
Because I fought you, because I knew you...
The Copper Cup
Candy Store
I'm once again able to run.
I will dream of the day I catch up to you once more...
All right!
I'll keep this up and keep on winning!
Yeah!
Huh? A transfer student is coming, though!
The flaming transfer student, right?
Whoa! My butt's roaring!
That's a fart, though!
"Stormy Transfer Student! Li-Chi Long!!"
Next time: "Stormy Transfer Student! Li-Chi Long!!"
Let's rake in the dough!
