Genki! Stay away!
Rosetta!
Kona.
Doesn't this scene just thrill you?
It might seem a little embarrassing,
but Gunvarrel is a story of love and courage!
Kona? Kona!
Thank goodness, you're awake.
Yashio...
In the end, time unforgiving
Will draw the blood of covenant
Everything scatters, leaving void
But we're here for the greater good
Crazier than everyone, we need to dazzle
The stage with our careless justice
And the scenery floating by becomes clearer
As the Messiah of the Shoutbox slips through time
Laugh and cry for our one and only dream
Pray, shout, and struggle right down to the end
Run and break that place where feelings gather
Under this sky, oh so dear
We're fighting for the future
The capital is still in disorder as the blackout is yet to be resolved.
Listen to my story like this...
It also seems that some service robots in the area have gone out of control.
Out of control robots?
Can't be...
Huh?
Here, have some.
T-Thank you...
Did you really plan on dying?
I was going to slit my wrists.
But I haven't eaten in so long that I might've lost my energy and drowned in there.
Tell me in detail about the hacked robot OS.
It wasn't me!
I was set u—
You alright?
The Robot OS is on the RI servers.
The person that did it was posing as me.
RI?
That's Roboratory Industry, Inc. isn't it?
Right. They're the third biggest players in the domestic service robot industry.
Every robot was compromised because their s-server uses a cloud sharing system.
A-Also that server can no longer be accessed from the outside.
Some hackers changed the login key.
The key?
Take a look.
This is the RI server.
When you try to access the OS section...
Kill-Ballad?!
S-Someone diverted the login key to Kill-Ballad.
In other words, if the CPU opponent goes undefeated...
Then we can't stop the robots?
Because of this bastard and his meddling, Gunvarrel has been tainted.
The Gunvarrel that Mom left behind...
I... what should I do?
We only have to defeat it once, right?
I'll accept that challenge.
Can you see something?
There is a fire blazing at Shinjuku.
Project Mars: The plan to throw the world into chaos with a robot uprising.
Still, it's nothing but a precursor to a greater plan.
Have you finished analyzing the final Gunvarrel episode?
The source of the leak is still unclear, but analyzing its contents...
It's a propaganda video, and that melody...
I thought so.
In 2015, Project Mars was already planned.
Yes.
The whole production staff was brainwashed,
but then for some reason Furugoori Minami regained her senses,
and even as her life was threatened by her colleagues, she sealed the video away.
Kimijima Kou died in 2010.
The cartoon was produced in 2015.
Is there no connection?
Not again!
Shouldn't you go home?
I told my family I'm staying over at a friend's.
First time sleepover at the four eyes' place?
Duhuhu.
How's Tokyo? Any changes?
There are signs of recovery.
The internet users struck by the blackout are starting to return as well.
The number of Twipo entries is growing.
The police might come for me if we don't hurry.
We have to try our best until the end.
Our best?
I'll use slow motion.
B-But I thought that it just happens and you can't use it consciously...
I just need to push myself to my limits.
Let me run a few laps.
Why... Why are you going so far?
You said that the slow-motion attacks hurt.
Is it for me?
It's not really like that.
I just want to defeat this goddamn cheater.
I've got my pride as the second best in the world.
How can you be such a geek gamer?
You should've said, "Of course it's for your sake!"
But I don't mind.
It's so cold!
How disgraceful.
Indeed it is.
Avert your eyes then!
Don't worry.
We are indoors, so I cannot see you.
Then imagine him!
Your face looks like you're about to drop dead. Are you okay?
I'm not.
My slow-motion isn't activating at all. Did you manage to find anything?
Not at all. B-But I'll f-find the culprit!
There is one way to break through any kind of security.
That is? Sauce!
Find the person who designed it, and make them tell you the password.
I didn't think of that...
What are you talking about?
He didn't stay at my place...
But his mom said he's sleeping over at a friend's place when I went over this morning.
I'm not "a friend," so it must be Furugoori's place.

No good. I just can't win.
No way!
What's up?
I figured out who set me up.
What Sissy Centipede said before gave me an idea.
What if it's someone who knows my Twipo from the circle?
You mean the Kill-Ballad dev circle?
Yeah. We all contacted each other to let everyone know that we're okay.
Everyone except Maguyan.
Why don't you contact him?
I'm doing that now.
Maguyan?
Hey, Frau.
Since you're calling me, I guess you figured it out.
Maguyan... Why'd you do this?
My wife and kid were taken hostage,
and they threatened to kill them if I didn't do what they said.
Who are "they"?
I can't tell you. They'd kill my family if I did.
I'm done for... They blackmailed me into helping them.
What are they trying to achieve by blackmailing you and sending robots on a rampage?
Their ultimate target seems to be the metropolitan government.
But what about my mom?
I don't know anymore. I just don't know.
No way! You must know something!
Tell me about my mom, you pig!
Where's my mom?! Where?!
Let me ask you just one thing, Maguyan.
Were you actually married?
At the off-meet half a year ago,
you said you're a virgin, and you're only interested in 2D.
When did you get married? When was your kid born?
Huh? I was... I'm married.
And my daughter's called Haruka...
Oh wait. Haruka is a heroine from Magical Girl Her Majesty...
Huh?
He's delusional?
Or rather...
brainwashed!
Anyway, that's how it goes. I'm sorry, Frau.
Now that my job is done, I'm flying to the Philippines.
They said I can meet my wife and daughter there.
See you.
I wouldn't have trusted anyone if I knew it was gonna come to this...
I should've just stayed by myself like a well-behaved shut-in.
Duhuhu, forever alone.
It must be easy to just abase yourself like that.
What?
If Aki was here, she'd tell you you're a member of the Robotics Club, one of us.
So would you please stop thinking you're alone?
The Robotics Club...
Take a look.

Can you guess why I became a shut-in.
Uh... You're not good at dealing with people.
The correct answer is "to make Kill-Ballad."
Huh?
Mom was gone and Gunvarrel was left like that...
I was really scared that'd be the end of it.
If the people forget Gunvarrel, Mom will be lost to oblivion too.
So I decided to make a game based on Gunvarrel.
I didn't even go to school.
I just worked for Mom... for Gunvarrel...
Do you like Kill-Ballad?
Yeah. It's a well-done game.
Kthx.
Huh?
Thx.
What?

Can't hear you.
Thanks.
Hey...
I'm so happy you praised it.
I'm so happy you said you liked it.
Got too lusty for your own good?
I'm too tired even for that...
Please listen to my story like this.
Gunvarrel is very, very important to me.
Mom left it behind... It's full of Mom's memories.
Say... Do you think Gunvarrel could shine again?
Dunno.
But showing off the GunPro-2 at the Expo would be a good beginning, wouldn't it?
I'm glad I came to the island.
This way I could meet you...
Please win...
It doesn't have to be for me or for Mom...
Ms. Furugoori, we've got some questions to you regarding the events in Tokyo!
Ms. Furugoori?
The police! When did they get here?
What should we do?
It's Aki and the others!
Ms. Furugoori, would you open up?
Are you from the police?
Who're you?
Help us!
There's some weirdo over there!
Hurry!
Yessir!
We gotta hurry!
It's our last chance!
Are you really fine?
We've got not time!
We gotta do it before the policemen come back!
Please! This time...
When the enemy's HP drops into red, it uses some kind of cheat.
If I could use my slow-motion at that point...
Yashio...
I'm fine...
When I signal... turn it up to max!
Hold out! Just a bit more!
Just a bit!
Now, Kona!
I can see it!
Yashio, you're crazy.
The robots?
I sent them the command to stop.
Thank goodness.
Yashio, thank you...

A week has passed since the Great Tokyo Blackout.
Large-scale solar flare hit Kanto
Metropolitan functions failed Worse than the '15 Crash?
The city is still scarred,
but people are returning to their everyday lives.
Kai!
You're going to school today, right?
Yeah, I'll manage.
Now for our next news report.
A Japanese man's body was found in the outskirts of Manila, Philippines.
According to the local police, the man lived in a Manila hotel for a week.
A Japanese man's body was found in the Philippines
A body pillow based on the popular anime Magical Girl Her Majesty was found in his hotel room.
Frau was questioned by the police after that,
but she didn't get arrested.
The net folks believe that it was a terrorist attack by the Furugoori mother and daughter,
but let them believe whatever they want.
Duhuhu...
Kona!
You're gonna attend classes?
Rather than classes, the activities of the Robotics Club!
Hey!
I decided to do what I can to make Gunvarrel shine once again.
Kona...
Welcome to Tanegashima!
What's going on?!
All those unexpected moments
As you mumble on and on
Will overcome even my standards
In the end
All those goodbyes we said
As we climb the stairway to the future
Just as raindrops fall no matter what we do
Light will always hold this planet together
Lives gather as if by some miracle
Showing the outline of a lively scene
An epilogue so bright it brings tears to our eyes
The sky painted by the hearts of those looking up
The wind blows gently stroking
Turning into a new path
A path that will always
Lead us to this place
Tune in next week too!
