This is bad!
I'm telling you it's bad!
Subaru hasn't come to school since then!
It was quite a mess with you getting spasms and all.
That doesn't matter now! Subaru's what matters!
Now that it's come to this,
we've got no choice but to sneak into his house!
Cut it out, Aki.
Not everyone can continue having great dreams like you.
You of all people should know this.
Behind the words passing by
The key of my closed heart is hidden
If setting your flag
Could save your smile
The late summer breeze
Turns into a midday squall
As we sync our wavelengths
I'm such a bad romantic
Can't even find
Any words with an edge
Still I aim for the blue sky
We can become one
As our dreams and confused tears
Draw us ever closer to the truth
That becomes our beloved

Wait for me, Rosetta! Our dream will last forever!
Lightning speed Genki power punch!
Ah, Yashio.
The Gunvarrel anime?
Yeah, Akiho let me borrow it.
Thanks you very much!
All 155 episodes.
Though I'm still just at episode 7.
There's still a lot ahead.
Well, it's quite fun, and the last episode's kinda an urban legend,
so I've wanted to watch it all for a while now.
That mysterious last episode that never aired?
You really like urban legends, don't you?
Ah, by the way, remember when PokeComs were freezing all at once?
I looked into it, and stuff like that's happened before.
Apparently it's happened quite a few times before.
Stuff like millions of people getting emails at the same time.
And the content of that mail was quite scary too.
Scary?
Kagome Kagome
The bird in the cage
When, oh when can it come out
The night before the dawn
The crane and the turtle slip
Who's in front of behind?
Kagome Kagome
The bird in the cage
When, oh when can it come out
The night before the dawn
The crane and the turtle slip
Who's in front of behind?
It was the lyrics of "Kagome Kagome."
What's wrong?
It's... nothing...
FRAUKOUJIRO has sent you an email.
Yashio, you should tell me when you're gonna help me hunt cheaters down.
You should come to my room.
Then in my moldy room, freezing cold from the AC,
we'd play games, turned on in unladylike poses,
that could make glasses guys cry out in joy!
It's friggin cold...
Why don't you turn your AC down? This'll ruin your health.
Ah, you worry about me? But I refuse!
I prefer cold anyway.
Would you like something to drink?
Do you have anything warm?
Boiling water's such a drag.
You call me here then this is what I get?
Well, I've got time on my hands now that we can't go to the Robo-One after all.
Those top five on the leaderboard...
Until last month I thought they were all cheaters.
I'm not one at least.
Neither is the fourth, Tagiri.
How do you know?
I know.
At this level you can feel it when you fight.
And Tagiri...
Never mind.
The top three are definitely cheating.
During fights they use tricks that are clearly superhuman.
Agreed.
So how do you hunt them down?
You should just fight them.
I made a tool that detects cheating.
I'll run it while you're fighting.
How do you intend to make us fight?
Uh...
Just wait until you get matched together?
So you're telling me to wait for an opponent that might never even show up?
Who's that?
Y-Yashio...
Subaru?
Why are you sneaking around like that?
Aki's worried about you.
And you? What are you doing here?
I was at Kona's place holding up my end of the deal.
The birthday suit photoshoot?
No, hunting cheaters.
Though they didn't show up in the end, so it'll be continued tomorrow.
That is...
You made up with your dad?
As if that's possible.
My dream's over.
Please tell the club president.
I'll get rid of the M45 myself. I can sort out my feelings better that way.
See you.
Brother, what have you been looking at?
You've been coming here for nine years now.
On average once every two days.
Sometimes with two others, sometimes with one other, sometimes alone.
Kai, if you're a real boy, grow up into a man who has The Right Stuff.
I wanted to become an astronaut you know.
No astronauts ever went to space from the Tanegashima Space Center.
I know.
But still, I'm sure every guy born on this island wants to become one at some point.
Misa, are you really not gonna become the Robotics club's president?
Yeah... It doesn't matter anymore.
But what about the giant robot?
That's just a pile of junk.
I've given up on that already.
The EXOSKELETON corporation's newest powered suit

is reported to have lost control on several occasions.
According to the consumer agency,
in the past two years there were at least a hundred cases.
Powered suit control loss incidents continue
EXOSKELETON Corp. Public Relations Senomiya Misaki
EXOSKELETON Corp. Powered Suit Division Chief Sawada Toshiyuki
As there were a number of accidents that resulted in serious injuries such as broken bones,
there are doubts regarding the safety of the devices. The EXOSKELETON Corpora—
Good afternoon!
Are you the robot doctor?
I'm Senomiya Misaki from the Tanegashima Central High Robotics circle.
There's something I'd like you to take a look at.
Could you tell me your opinion?
A hobby robot?
No, I'd like to build a full-size giant robot.
Go home, and don't come again!
Don't you make a fool of adults, girly!
I'm not leaving.
I have nothing to say to you!
Then how about this?
How did it go?
It went okay. I guess.
I was finally able to pay off our debt.
It's all thanks to our sponsors.
Thanks for tagging along, Jun.
I'm sorry I couldn't go inside with you.
It's okay!
I get a 1000% powerup from you coming along.
Anyway, now that we've got our funds,
we should check the parts we need in the catalogs.
Robots are always just robots.
Kai, this is terrible!
You mean the control loss accident yesterday?
That's terrible too,
but my sister's there so that'll work out!
I meant Subaru!
The M45 was gone when I dropped by the hangar earlier!
Subaru took that with him.
He said he'll get rid of it himself.
You met Subaru?!
Why didn't you try to convince him?!
What'd be the point in that?
I told you, there's nothing we can do about this.
Tell me, Gunvarrel...
What should I do?
Subaru! Are you at home?!
If you are, come out already!
Subaru!
Wipe your tears and raise your eyes!
You can't see the light of tomorrow otherwise!
Hidaka
But you know, aren't you the one who made Kill-Ballad?
The genius programmer Frau Koujiro at your service! Serious Face!
Could you tell me about the development while we're waiting for the match?
About the coding of the robots and stuff.
What would you need that for?
Y-You have some special ability, you know, like what eighth-graders believe.
What special ability?
Ah, you mean the slow motion?
You're getting it wrong. It's just post-traumatic spasms.
It's no special ability.
Stuff like getting super reaction speed during the spasms?
That counted as lame in anime a decade ago.
It's not funny.
The spasms are really tough. I feel like I could drop dead at any moment.
Don't joke about it without knowing anything.
Then let's tell each other our secrets we can't tell anyone.
Duhuhu.
What?
Do you know why the last episode of Gunvarrel was never aired?
Nope. Don't care either.
It wasn't aired, because the staff died right beforehand.
And not just one person either.
At least thirteen people.
Not to mention the director went missing right after.
I lol'd when I read that they're suspecting him of being the culprit.
And you believe that?
M-My name's Furugoori Kona.
But you could also read Furugoori as Kogoori.
The anime's director was Kogoori Minami.
My mom.
I-I'm the daughter of a murder suspect.
Mom was last seen on this island. That's why I moved here.
That's quite a heavy story right off the bat...
I'll pretend I never heard this.
I'd rather not get invol—
It's BOBLEE! The third place!
Here he is!
So you were at Frau Bow's place instead of the hangar?
Yeah, doing my end of the deal.
Cheat analysis
Matches
Check logs
We couldn't find any proof of cheating. Kona was quite surprised.
The two of you all alone?
I guess.
When did you become such a womanizer?
Do I look like one?
Nope. You're only hot for games anyway.
And where were you so late?
I went to Subaru's house.
No one was at home though...
And I was just bringing him something he forgot.
He forgot something?
I found it in the hangar.
Even if he's quitting the club, that must be important to him.
What?
A part of the M45.
Summer break starts tomorrow.
But you only have half a year until your university entrance exams,
so make sure to spend your summer meaningfully.
Over.
We only have half a year until the Expo.
This summer will be a real challenge for us!
Aki, were you listening at all to the teacher?
Subaru didn't come to school today either, so we'll have to work by ourselves.
Long time no see, President.
Subaru!
I'm so glad! You made up with your dad, right?
My father isn't such a soft person.
Officially I'm here to study in quiet.
Do you seriously expect that excuse to work?
I do.
I picked the M45 into pieces in front of him.
For that reason, we must cancel our entry at the Robo-One.
I'm really sorry, Yashio.
I'm not exactly devastated.
Now I can enjoy a true Kill-Ballad summer.
It must've been hard.
P-P-President?!
I can fully understand how hard it must've been.
It was a part of you, your true partner!
And you had to pick it apart yourself...
That said, wanna run, Subaru?!
Look! Into the sunset!
I don't!
But...
But you tried to save the M45, and you brought me that broken part too...
Um...
T-Thanks you very much!
"Thanks you," huh?
Kai, Subaru opened his heart to us!
I didn't do anything of the sort!
I just thought that if I'm studying here in quiet anyway,
I could maybe help you a little with building Gunvarrel.
Good afternoon!
What do you want today?
Ah, Mister Pleiades is with you this time?
How did you know?!
Anyone could see through that disguise...
What were you thinking?
Anyone?! No way...
So, what do you want?
No way... No way... No way...
We came to buy parts!
For a hobby robot?
No! For the GunPro-1!
Then how about this? Let's make a bet!
A bet?
The Robotics circle will win the Robo-One this year.
If we can do that, you'll help the Robotics club with your skill and knowledge!
What do you say? These are all the GunPro-1's parts!
The CEO was so kind as to finance it all for us!
And we're making stickers at the company!
Stickers?
Yeah, one that has "Space Candy Inc" written on it in huge letters!
Put that on the most apparent spot on the robot, okay?
The impact's important!
But...
And we'd want the rider of the robot to be Junna!
B-But... I can't do that!
Um, at this point the pilot's Kai...
No! A karate cutie from the island riding a giant robot
would be real impact!
I'm so tired...
I don't really like that CEO...
I see the parts have arrived.
You're late, Subaru!
You should check if any of them got damaged in the solar storm, just in case.
What solar storm?
Ah, Twipo's been going on about it since this morning.
When the flare reached some machinery on...
Um... the American west coast, it all broke.

In 2012, 15, 19, and 20. there will be a series of gargantuan solar flares.
The solar flare in 2015 will have the most grave effects on Earth and its magnetosphere.
I wonder if we'll have another '15 Crash.
I wouldn't go that far yet,
but they're saying there's an even stronger one coming soon.
Scientific research concludes that the Sun will soon explode.

Um,
is this the Robotics Club of Tanegashima Central High School?
Yes...
I know it's sudden, but I have a few questions for you.
Could you come along please?
The blinding light of childhood memories
Turns the scenery of my dream
Into monochrome as it lies forgotten
And vanishes from my eyes
But you've always been
Looking straight at the future
And you paid the price in tears
So we turn our hesitation
Into strength by the power
Of our connected hearts
Feel it! These overflowing emotions
For that someone in the sunset
I'll use what little courage I have
And overcome the rage of the wind
Because I want to protect you
IIIMPAAAAAAACT!
Tune in next week too!
