Downsize
I will disappear.
I will become nothingness.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
Long-kun!
Don't go, though!
Meaningless!
It's meaningless.
You must love playing friends, Kaito.
Nagare?!
Did you do this to Long?!
I only had him fulfill our contract.
Nagare!
You won't get away with this!
So what are you planning to do about it?
I'm sure I told you once before.
Never come near me again.
Kneel pitifully before me at tomorrow's final round.
Wait a second!
Darn it! Nagare!
HERO BANK
Final Round! Gold VS Dominion!!
Final Round!
Gold VS Dominion!
Big Money Company
I wonder what in the world happened to Nagare-kun.
I can't believe he'd do something so horrible to Long.
Crap!
The money is important, though!
Don't pick it up!
Why?
Isn't this the money Big Money Company fought tooth and nail to save?!
But our vice president... Long...
He's never going to come back!
Darn it, Nagare!
Why did you do that to Long?!
This is...
My, my, Nagare-kun.
It's the night before the final round.
Don't you feel lonely here by yourself?
I've no need to conspire with anyone.
Those who stand at the top are always alone.
I see...
Just don't take him lightly. Kaito Gosho is—
Don't say that name!
Just to let you know,
my reliance on you ends today.
I shall stand atop this world by my own strength.
Have you no wish?
Wish?
Surely a ten billion yen prize will not satisfy you.
Once you've taken the championship,
I shall grant a wish of yours.
A wish, huh?
Then how about...
Hey, that's the wallet you bought with me, right?
Was that when we were in first grade?
Oh. Is it?
Yeah. Yours was a different color, right?
Sis?
What're you doing up this late?
Kaito, don't scare me like that.
I'm praying for your victory tomorrow.
To Mom and Dad?
Yes.
Sis, listen...
What?
You remember, don't you?
About our mom and dad?
Huh? Yes, of course.
Then, what about Nagare?
Nagare?
Your opponent tomorrow?
Not that.
Nagare, my friend and the Head of Whatever at Big Money Company!
Nagare-kun?
Was there a kid called that?
Whenever I heard about Mom and Dad,
I never really understood.
Since I don't remember them.
True, it happened when you were still so young.
Nagare's the same!
He's the same as my mom and dad to everyone else!
I don't really get it...
So he passed away?
No!
He's here, but he's not!
I can't word it well, but he's doing really bad things!
I see.
In that case, why don't you slug him a good one?
Huh?
Dad's teachings, number one:
Anyone who's done wrong is in need of a good whack!
A good whack...
You're right.
Yeah, you're totally right!
Thanks, Sis!
I figured out what I need to do!
Tomorrow, I've just gotta whack him good!
Yeah! Whack him!
Yeah! Whack him, huh?
All right!
Okay, Sis, goodnight!
If you stay up too late, you'll age even more!
Shut up!
Stupid Kaito!
Hurry and get to sleep!
Okay!
Tomorrow is the final battle.
It's finally here!
Crowds of reporters are waiting in front of the entry gate
for the competitors fighting in the final round to arrive!
Kaito-kun is late.
The match starts in fifteen minutes, though.
Yo, Mitsuo, Fukuta!
Sorry, sorry.
I couldn't break away.
This long poop came out!
Pratfall!
Kaito-kun!
How are you feeling right now?
Please give full coverage to our channel!
No, to ours!
Ours!
It looks like every network is battling for coverage!
Aw, it's rough not being in a position to jump in the fray!
See, look at that.
They're being so friendly now,
but they're the same media outlets from when that stuff with Deborah happened!
They've got some nerve changing their attitudes like that, though!
Ah, hello.
I'm Kaito. I'm Kaito!
Pratfall!
Kaito-kun!
What will you spend the championship prize of ten billion yen on if you win?
Have you already thought about how you'll use it?
Oh, yeah...
Fund-raising
Give some funds to the less fortunate adults!
Show some love for the NEETs!
My, Kaito-chan, how you've grown!
It's been so long.
Your uncle is so happy to see you!
There they are!
The stereotypical distant relatives!
I'm your mother's cousin's brother-in-law's second cousin's sister!
I'm your father's uncle's wife's grandpa's little brother's son's second cousin.
Do you remember me?!
Oh, were you?
Having more relatives is such a shock!
You're being tricked, though!
They're clearly suspicious!
Are they?
They are!
Kaito-kun!
What was that?
It's the effect of the ten billion yen prize.
Fearsome, though!
It's not even set in stone that you're going to win!
No, I'll win!
Huh?
I thought about it as hard as I could yesterday...
and I just can't let Nagare get away with it!
I'll absolutely win and get him to spill why he turned out that way!
And then, I'll open his eyes!
Yeah!
Kaito.
Go win it! For Long, too!
However, he is sincerely a formidable enemy.
Aw, no need to worry!
That's right!
Money-grubbing Corporation will never forgive him if he loses!
Well, in terms of his looks, he's already lost.
Everyone knows that.
Ai, listen up!
Oh, it's you...
Kitty-o Meow-i.
Uh, n-never mind that.
When your brother Kaito, my eternal rival, takes the championship,
I... no, ich, myself, me...
You're changing your pronoun too much.
Just go for it!
U-Um, would you please go out with me?
Oh... Sure.
S-Seriously?
For real?!
Ai-san!
Yes. I'll have you go out with me to shop for the upcoming victory celebration.
Just call me Wholesale-shio!
Yo, Wholesale-shio!
Everyone!
Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long!
The match will be starting shortly!
Now, who will get
their hands on the ten billion yen championship prize
and earn the right to fight the champion Ryouta Arashiyama?
It's starting at last.
But I wonder if he'll really give himself away in this match.
There's only one member of the Gold Force left.
We should be able to get a hold of something.
His calling card for the final match
is perfectly flawless, zealous, hot-blooded!
You all know him: competitor Kaito Gosho!
You can do it, Kaito!
And his opponent:
Drifting eyes, flowing marksmanship,
and never sheds a tear for the prey in his sights!
Competitor Nagare Amano!
Nagare-kun...
You brought those guys with you, too?
Were you lonely by yourself?
No!
Mitsuo and Fukuta are my cornermen!
Employees of Big Money Company!
Kaito-kun.
Kaito.
Big Money Company no longer matters to me.
Here I go!
Bankfon G, activate!
Job change!
Enter the Speed!
Enter the Speed
Job change!
The Dominion Dollar!
The Dominion Dollar
Bring it, Nagare!
Here we go!
Hero Battle!
Fight!
Here I come!
Whoa!
He used Enter the Speed right off the bat!
Feel Good Punch Variation!
Final round special!
It's Maki Kashii here to give commentary!
Why in the world did competitor Kaito use Speed at the very start?
That's Kaito-kun's strategy.
When it comes to speed, he won't lose, though!
Exactly!
It doesn't matter how accurate your aim is.
There's no point if it doesn't hit!
Fool.
You can't escape me no matter how fast you move.
Kaito!
A clean hit!
Is he down already?!
You only move in one pattern.
D-Darn...
You're pathetic.
Now's the time I'll prove I'm the sun, before this huge audience.
Sun?
That's right.
I told you that day, didn't I?
Your brilliance is so irritating...
But that, too, ends today.
I will become the sun,
and you will become the moon...
Dominion is something I was granted as a result of my desire to beat your Gold.
Huh?
Granted? By who?
A being the members of the Gold Force revere as a god.
A god?
The Money Ghost.
That is the name of the one who gave us strength.
The Money Ghost!
His name finally came up!
I was chosen by the Money Ghost.
I'm different from the others, who chose to follow him.
Eventually I will surpass him and stand at the top of the world!
And then I can deal with trash like you!
It's my dream to sweep you away!
Not good!
Kaito!
Job switch!
What's this?!
Enter the Gold!
Whoa!
He just job switched from Speed to Gold power!
Nagare! You got all your strength from that guy?!
Is it fun to win that way?!
Are you happy?!
You're one to talk!
You got that prototype from someone else, too!
No, it wasn't given to me.
I've got a ten billion yen debt!
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Take this!
Explosive Gold Rush!
This is nothing.
Double Three Shouts!
Kaito!
Kaito-kun!
Three Shouts is one of Dominion's mid-tier skills, though...
I can't believe it repelled Gold's strongest skill!
You can't believe it?
But right now, our ability, financial muscle...
We're in different leagues in every possible way.
That's not right at all!
But it is right!
Kaito-kun!
Kaito!
It's no good, though!
It's the same as last time.
He can't even get close, though!
Kaito-kun! Use your head!
My head?
Yes, to prostrate yourself before me!
Whoa!
It's so one-sided!
Is this really the final match?!
Pitiful.
You're pitiful!
Kaito, entertain me some more.
Kaito-kun!
This is just too cruel, though!
Shut up!
Due to some mistake back then,
you three alone remembered me.
Fukuta
Mitsuo
Kaito
So this time,
I'll use the Money Ghost's power to disappear cleanly from your memories!
That's my wish!
Stop screwing around!
Nagare!
I'll never forgive you!
Even if, for argument's sake, I forgave all your other crimes,
I'll absolutely never forgive you for erasing everyone's memories!
Why?
Because I don't remember much about my mom and dad
who died when I was little!
Kaito...
But I...
I...
didn't actually want to forget!
I wanted to remember a lot more!
The little things,
the big things...
But even though you have a mom and dad,
why don't you care if you forget them?
Why did you become this way?!
Mind your own business!
Slasher Hit!
Kaito-kun!
Kaito!
I hated who I was before now.
A boy who hid himself...
A good little boy...
A boy who always worried about how others saw him.
I always thought to myself,
"If only I could go someplace where no one knew me,
start over from scratch, and become a stronger person!"
That's why I erased my presence from this world!
Then what is this?!
That's...
You remember when you bought this, don't you?!
When we were still in first grade,
at our usual candy shop.
I'm gonna get this one.
Then, I'll get this one.
Yeah! Let's take good care of them.
We'll still be friends even when we're adults.
Yeah!
What about it?!
Nagare, you still don't get it?
Even if our memories are erased, the fact that you were there will never disappear!
You're Big Money Company's Head of Whatever, and my dear friend!
You're Nagare Amano!
Shut up, Kaito! Stop it!
Don't call me by that name, the Head of Whatever!
Job switch!
Cross Beat Impact!
Ultra Pompadour Cannon!
Incredible!
The attacks they launched together
exploded inside Bad Boy Commander's head!
Kaito-kun!
How was that? I used my head!
No, that's not what I meant by "use your head!"
You meant to keep the enemy's weapon in mind, right?
Never mind that right now!
Dominion has no weapon at the moment!
All right!
Kaito-kun, please use this!
That's...
Once it's full, let's fill a pool with Yummy Sticks and swim in it!
That's right!
This is the money we all saved together!
We'll get Nagare back, though!
Save Nagare!
Yes!
Here!
Use our money!
Whoa!
He's being charged by the piggy bank money in the blink of an eye!
I don't need Yummy Sticks!
I held back, and held back,
and in exchange...
I'll use all this money to get you back!
Why?!
That's obvious!
It's because you're my friend!
No! Because you're my precious, best friend!
Kaito!
My best friend's doing something bad!
So I'll get mad, I'll yell at you,
and then I'll turn you back into who you were
when we used to play together!
Darn it!
With all three of our feelings packed in!
Right-side Rising Uppercut!
Nagare! Come back to us!
It's over!
The one to take command of the final round is Enter the Gold:
Kaito Gosho!
He did it!
Kaito-kun!
Fukuta, Mitsuo!
We're the champions!
You're a stupid, vulgar, scatterbrained idiot,
but it's amazing that you won, Kaito!
Don't praise me like that!
She isn't praising you at all.
"Battle of the Century! Challenge Segalion!!"
Next time: "Battle of the Century! Challenge Segalion!!"
Let's rake in the dough!
