Darn it!
With all three of our feelings packed in!
Right-side Rising Uppercut!
Kaito-kun!
We did it, though!
Yeah!
That hurts!
You're squeezing too hard...
Nagare!
Hey! Are you all right?
Pull it together! Hey!
Nagare!
Doctor! Is Nagare okay?
Don't worry. He's only fainted.
I see...
But to be on the safe side,
we should have him looked at more closely at a hospital.
Okay, then I'll go, too!
You can't!
Oh, you're...
Funny Maki!
It's Maki Kashii!
You're still needed here for
the championship ceremony and our interview with the winner.
But...
HERO BANK
Battle of the Century! Challenge Segalion!!
Battle of the Century!
Challenge Segalion!!
Thank you all for waiting!
We will now begin the Big Money Hero Wars Championship Ceremony!
Finally... Finally, the time has come!
I'm so moved, though!
We'll start with the awarding of the championship trophy
from Hero Bank Company's president!
Congratulations on winning!
Th-Thank you...
Next,
the championship prize of ten billion yen will be delivered!
10,000,000,000 Yen
All right!
Ten billion yen!
Congrats, Kaito-kun.
The champion!
Kaito-kun, you're the strongest in all the Big Money Hero Wars!
Champion!
I... I...
But I wonder, are you the strongest in the world?
Kaito-kun, do you have the courage
to take on my Segalion, the strongest in all the world?
Yeah! Of course!
In that case, battle me!
Yeah!
Let's get to the bottom of who's truly the strongest once and for all!
Competitor Kaito has made use of his right to challenge the champion!
Ryouta Arashiyama versus Kaito Gosho!
The battle to determine who is truly the strongest has been declared!
The match observed around the world
can be seen here tomorrow, same time, same channel!
Dad...
Mom...
Rejoice.
Now...
We can finally pay back our ten billion yen debt!
I won that ten billion, so be grateful, Sis!
What're you talking about?!
You're the one who racked up the ten billion yen debt in the first place!
Do you know how much trouble that snowballed into, thanks to you?!
Your smile lines got very deep as a result!
They did not!
Yes?
Kintetsu-san!
Oh! Big Bro!
Kaito! Congratulations on winning!
Thank you for coming all this way.
Let's not stand around here talking. Please come inside.
Sis, your attitude sure changes a lot when Big Bro Kintetsu's around, huh?
Wh-What are you talking about?!
That's not true at all!
We're back!
We bought the ingredients for the celebratory sukiyaki, though!
Thanks very much for running the errand, you two.
Yeah, good work!
Oh, but now that we have more people,
the amount I asked for might not be enough...
No need for concern!
A whole sea bream and first-class nigirizushi,
essential for any celebration!
All to celebrate Kaito-dono's victory!
Thank you, Isshin!
You're a life saver!
I just love thoughtful kids like you!
Congrats on winning the Big Money Hero Wars!
Y-Yeah...
What kind of reaction is that?
Being congratulated by me doesn't make you happy?
It's not that.
Of course I'm happy!
Thanks!
This is awesome!
It's to congratulate you.
Take as many as you want.
If I have this many...
Maybe I can have that Yummy Stick bath I always dreamed of!
Kaito-kun.
Everyone!
Do you all have your Yummy Sticks?
Then without further ado,
a word from today's star, Kaito, though!
I'm not really sure what to say...
Well, uh, I guess...
Hey! Wind-up Maki!
When did you get here?
This is news coverage!
Kaito-kun, please tell us how you're feeling right now!
Okay!
Hey!
It's definitely a classic, though.
Aw, enough of that!
Anyway, thanks, everyone!
Cheers!
A stick after a victory really is the best!
Kaito.
You'd best carve the joy of your victory into your heart!
I can't believe you're saying
something so meaningful like a mentor, this late in the game!
That's our bro,
taking on a personality you'd never expect from someone who was rejected by Ai-san!
Eat up.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Kaito? What's the matter?
Gotta poop!
Hey, Kaito!
He's way too blunt.
It's kind of manly in a way, though.
I'm in the best of moods right now!
But, Nagare...
It would be even better if you were here...
Nagare still hasn't woken up, though.
Nagare...
I'm gonna go have such an amazing battle
that it'll make you open your eyes,
so hurry and wake up.
Then, just like old times, we can...
Ladies and gentlemen!
The two fight leaders are entering the arena!
First we have the Big Money Hero Wars champion,
Kaito Gosho!
And the world's strongest champion,
Ryouta Arashiyama!
The showdown of the century is finally about to begin!
Bankfon G, activate!
Job change!
Enter the Gold!
Enter the Gold
Here we go!
The fired-up fight leader Kaito Gosho
job changes to Enter the Gold and awaits the champion!
Job change!
Segalion!
There he is!
The completely undefeated champion, Ryouta Arashiyama's Segalion,
has alighted to the battle airspace!
He didn't show himself at the battle with Nagare yesterday.
Hikari, if the Money Ghost is going to make his move,
it should be during this match, the closing battle of the Hero Wars.
Keep a close eye out.
I know. You can count on me.
Hero Battle!
Fight!
Virtua Gun!
Whoa! That was intense!
A Virtua Gun right off the bat!
He won't hold out if he keeps taking hits!
There's no problem if I don't take any hits, then!
Job switch!
Enter the Speed!
Enter the Speed
He job switched to his speed type.
That was a good decision.
Go ahead and show me just how fast Enter the Speed is!
Kaito-kun is dodging his attacks at the last second by a paper-thin margin!
That's our Speed, though!
Incredible!
Enter the Speed is narrowly dodging every last rapid-fire shot of the Virtua Gun!
What?!
This won't make our audience very excited.
Why don't we clash with a little more passion?
No less from the champion.
You make sense.
If it's come to that...
Job switch!
Enter the Gold!
Pulse, temperature, both normal.
Was that my imagination?
Wake up, Nagare.
And lend an ear to what I have to say...
Nagare...
Good boy.
I'm not finished yet!
Water Snail Chop!
Whoa!
Both their money gauges are stretching out like a dragon!
I've never seen so much Battle Money in one place, though!
This is a new record!
They've broken the Battle Money record!
Behold.
See Kaito being commended and basking in cheers.
Is he not like the sun itself?
Compared to him,
you are unspeakably wretched at this moment.
Well?
Do you not wish to rewrite this reality?
To overwrite it with the world you desire?
Feel Good Punch!
64 Bit Punch!
Both competitors exchange special attacks!
This is, indeed, an epic battle that has exhausted all efforts and funds!
What an intense fight!
Stand firm, Kaito.
Show him you're a man!
I'll never forgive you if you lose!
Virtua Combo!
You're ten years too early!
And there's Segalion's finishing line!
Enter the Gold has fallen outside the ring!
This will finish it!
Sonic Splash!
Don't underestimate elementary schoolers!
Lying-down Gold Rush!
Wow! An explosion!
What has happened to them?!
You can do it!
B-Both are down on the ring floor!
Who will ultimately stand triumphant?!
I'm surprised.
I never thought
you'd be this good...
Winner: Enter the Gold!
Kaito-kun!
He did it!
He's done it!
Competitor Kaito Gosho has defeated the champion Ryouta Arashiyama's Segalion,
and won the battle!
I won! I beat the champion!
Kaito Gosho-kun.
Champion!
It was a magnificent battle.
You are the true champion!
Huh?
Wh-Who're you?!
He did show up!
My name is the Money Ghost!
I hereby declare to the entire world, imprisoned and manipulated by money:
The key has awakened!
This world, defiled by money and fallen to decay,
will now be overwritten and reborn!
This is...
In Call Hikari Takarano
The Money Ghost has no substantial form.
He's converted his being into data.
What?!
And humans from the real world
most likely can't even touch him!
Hey!
What are you jabbering about after popping up here outta nowhere?!
And where did the champion go?!
Ryouta Arashiyama does not exist.
He is nothing more than a puppet that I created from data.
The champion was your puppet?
Yes.
As are these Hero Wars themselves.
Kaito-kun, allow me to thank you.
The key awoke thanks to you.
What? What do you mean?!
Chide!
Priest change!
Priest Change
Rockin' Monk!
Rockin' Monk
You!
Guitar Slash!
Adachi?
I knew it was you!
I won't let you do as you please any longer!
However you may struggle, it is too late.
What?
Underbank Forced Cancellation.
Wait, Adachi!
He got away!
Hey, crappy priest!
What the heck's going on?
Explain it to me!
I suppose it is time I told you.
Big Money Company
Why did we have to come all the way to the clubhouse?
Yeah.
If it's just to talk, then anywhere would have worked!
Don't get so impatient.
Rin Pyou Tou Sha
Kai Jin Retsu Zai Zen!
Chide!
What the—
We're going down fast, though!
We're here!
Amazing!
I can't believe there was a facility like this beneath our clubroom!
I had it prepared in secret for this very day.
Sweet! It's like a secret base!
Not just "like."
This is a genuine secret base,
constructed to fight against the Money Ghost.
Welcome to the Gold Base.
Her name is Hikari Takarano.
She's a researcher for Hero Bank Company.
By the way,
do all of you know who created the Hero Battle system?
Of course.
The one who gave birth to Hero Battles,
Sumimori Adachi.
The kind of genius scientist said to come along only once in a century.
Hero Bank Company Virtual Institute
That's right.
To Adachi, research into the Hero Bank system
was all to create an ideal world where everyone could be happy.
Who's this?
Me.
You're kidding!
Never mind! Just listen to me!
But, the company used that research as a money-making tool.
Adachi fell into despair
as money came to control the world and gave birth to many tragedies.
Then...
he turned into the Money Ghost
in order to destroy money and take revenge upon it.
Take revenge on money?
What would he accomplish by doing that?
Bad news!
What's wrong?
Nagare-kun disappeared from the hospital!
Very soon...
Very soon, this world will be overwritten.
The Money Ghost gave birth to Hero Battles?
Looks like it!
He was a mother?!
Of course not.
An unexpected retort!
"Cash Extinction! The Money Ghost's Counterattack!!"
Next time: "Cash Extinction!
The Money Ghost's Counterattack!!"
Let's rake in the dough!
