Good job!
Get some rest.
Yes.
Odaiba! I'm back!
After a 20 hour drive from Kagoshima in that truck, my butt hurts.
The doors open at 9 AM tomorrow.
We can bring in the robot after 8 AM.
That means everything's done for today.
Okay, let's go to the hotel.
We're really staying at a hotel?
Ahaha! Look at this bed!
Wow, it's fluffy! Look!
I can roll about all I want!
Mitchie must've really gone out of his way for this! I've gotta re-evaluate him!
Yeah. Though we've only got one room.
It feels so great!
Only one key.
And a double bed.
By the way, engaging in illicit sexual relations will result in expulsion from the school.
Just saying.
Later.
Just how useless can he get?
What do we do now?
"What do we do now?" you say...
I don't mind, but do you?
I don't really mind either...
Okay then. Phew.
How long has it been since we last slept in the same bed?
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
Kai, I can't get the water deep enough!
Good hotels are all like that.
Why?
Who knows?
The true Gunvarrel's in there!
The "Kimijima Report" texts were distributed yesterday to PokeComs all around the world.
What are these texts? Is this just a prank, or did someone leak government secrets?
Mysteries are getting dee—
TAGIRIN?
Those moves... It's the same...
Misa... Are you Misa?
Don't keep running... Why are you running?
Mizuka... Mizuka died!
That's right.
Mizuka?
Why didn't you help me?
You just kept watching. So cold.
Mizuka!
Aki...
Are you okay? You were mumbling in your sleep...
You wouldn't wake up even when I tried to wake you.
I had a really bad dream.
It must be because of those 20 hours in the truck...
I'll take a shower.
Kai...
I must stink.
You just laugh everything away and never show your true feelings.
I guess...
When you're in pain, say so.
And anyway, we're never together recently...
You always go alone somewhere,
or struggle with your problems alone...
Aki...
You didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't mention it,
but I want to help you...
I want to help you when it's hard for you.
We've always been together.
I guess you think I couldn't help you even if I tried.
Then...
I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep any more tonight,
so do you wanna pull an all-nighter with me?
You don't?
If that's what it is, just leave it to me!
I've got what we need for that!
Huh? Don't tell me...
We can marathon Gunvarrel all night!
That's so like you.
All right! All right!
By the way, have you heard from Misa?
No, nothing. She feels so... distant.
Space Candy
Does she even exist at all?
I doubt that would be the case.
But really, is she still alive?
We at Exoskeleton hope that Powered Suits
can become an essential part of your lives just like cars or PokeComs.
What's that?
Exoskeleton's robot.
Main Body Frame The mainframe is made out of a new kind of material developed at our company that enables further decrease in weight. It also makes it stronger and more durable.
Movement System The control system developed at our company based on ergonomic studies received positive reviews both in Japan and around the world. This system has been further improved to enable multi-leg movement.
SUMERAGI is... The SUMERAGI concept model is the fruit of Exoskeleton's long years' of research. Our company focuses on nursing products, so the comfort and pleasure of people in need of nursing will always be our top priority. We poured all the experience and technology we have into building the SUMERAGI. Please witness the devotion and provess of Exoskeleton.

It's a concept model. It's called... SUMERAGI.
How can this be used for nursing at all?
It's a concept model.
Excuse me?
It's just to show that we can build stuff like this too.
Um, my name's Senomiya Akiho.
Senomiya? Ah, Ms. Misaki's relative?
Um, is my sister coming here?
Yeah, she is. She's an important advertising image for us.
Really? When?
I don't know exactly... But probably as soon as the Expo opens.
She'll be here!
We can show her the GunPro-2.
Aki!
Let's put the GunPro-2 together!
Oh, geez...
She really loves her sister...
Can I make a request?
Misa!
Kai?
You're working this late?
I'm glad I didn't give up and waited here five hours.
Go home.
"Thank you."
Those were Mizuka's last words.
Hear them.
"Thank you for giving me the Powered Suit."
Mizuka said that.
I see.
What the hell?
She died!
It ran out of control... The Powered Suit you gave her!
She died!
Doesn't that make you feel anything?
I feel sorry for Mizu.
That's it?
It's natural for you to act like this.
Get in.
A man named Sawada came asking about Kimijima Kou.
He knew that I was there at the SS Anemone incident and that Kimijima Kou died...
Just who is this Kimijima Kou?
What's he got to do with you?
Then what about Airi? You know about her, right?
Yukifune Airi woke up, so I went to see her at the hospital last night.
Yukifune Airi
She remembers Kimijima Kou,
but she didn't know much about any AI.
You're the first one to visit me since I woke up.
Do you know today's weather?
It looks sunny outside...
So you can't say anything?
Okay, I don't care.
But at least act normal to Aki!
She doesn't know anything!
She's worked so hard all this time to fulfill your dream, just to catch up to you!

You know she's in Tokyo too, don't you?
Why are you ignoring her like that?
I'm not ignoring her. I just told her the truth.
She's too ordinary.
She can never follow my dream and build robots.
She'll only realize her powerlessness when she tries.
But...
That's why I told you to take care of her.
Misa...
Please look at all these people!
The 2020 Tokyo Expo, the Expo of Dreams, opened today!
Robots are at the center of this Expo.
It's even called the Expo of Robots.
Giant robots from all around the world gather here to welcome the guests!
Impact!
Compared to that...
Space Candy
Tanegashima Robotics Club
This should do it.
For the rest, we'll use the handheld laser charger that we got one of Dad's contacts to make.
Gunvarrel Construction Diary
She's too ordinary...
Kai!
What?
Are you okay?
Did something happen after you visited Airi?
You got back pretty late.
I'm fine. Just a bit tired, that's all.
Hey!
The hell's this Gunvarrel shit?
Tanegashima Robotics Club Space Candy Inc. We built Gunvarrel Prototype 2!
Isn't Gunvarrel that crappy anime those murderers made?
Why'd you bring that shit here?
You got a problem?
Shut it!
Aki!
Younger Senomiya!
Mitchie...
Did you hit your head?
I'm fine...
Hmph, get lost...
This ain't a place for murderer robots...
You bastards!
That's so sad.
Do people hate Gunvarrel that much now?
The robot did nothing wrong...
Him?
Wyvern, X-90 minutes.
Roger.
The six legs of the SUMERAGI by Exoskeleton are controlled by a finger operating system!
Whoa!
Amazing!
Come and see!
See what?
The Tanegashima Robotics Club is launching!
Let's first talk about the story of how this robot was built!
Nine years ago, the project to build an actual Gunvarrel was started.
Of course, it's not the best idea to bring up Gunvarrel's name right now—
Aki, that'll be way too long of a story.
Huh?
No one's listening anymore.
But talking about the miracle of love and courage and glory would have the most impact!
It'd have none.
Precisely.
Then...
Launch the GunPro-2!
Move forward!
Crabwalk!
Dad, it's so uncool...
I guess...
Hey you there, who just said it's uncool!
If you think we fooled you, look at GunPro-2 through Iru-O!
The true Gunvarrel's in there!
GunPro-2! PulverPunch No. 1!
Genki Punch!
Lightning Speed Genki Power Punch! Gunvarrel!
Yay!
If only it wasn't Gunvarrel.
Takashi, we're going.
But I wanna see it more!
No. Mom will get angry if she finds out you saw Gunvarrel.
Don't worry about it, Aki.
Hey! Do it again! Again!
Do that Genki Punch thing again!
Pretty please!
Come on!
Lightning Speed Genki Power Punch! Gunvarrel!
Yay!
Kai?
Goof adternoom!
Thayk nou for mocing!
You're not Subaru...
How is the feedback?
We've only just begun! We're taking the grand prize!
Oh, what a bold declaration!
Senomiya Akiho's sister is the Misaki you can see in the Exoskeleton commercials as well.
Did she have any comments?
No, nothing yet.
Then let's call out to her!
She should be here at the Expo already.
Huh?
Hm? You didn't know?
No, I didn't....
I see. This is Senomiya Akiho from the Tanegashima Robotics Club!
Aki...
The Exoskeleton changing room is that way, right?
Wait!
Why?
You should meet with her sometime later.
Why? Kai, do you know something?
That's not it...
Authorized personnel only
Aki!
Aki, wait!
Aki!
Sis...
Sis! Sis!
Hey, it's me, Akiho!
Do you remember? We are sisters, I guess...
It's been 7 years since we last met.
I was still a grade schooler that time.
You just didn't recognize me, right?
Aki, you've grown so big.
Yeah...
Oh right, did you see the robot?
We built the GunPro-2 in the club, all together!
Aki, are Mom and Dad fine?
Yeah. Dad's really worked up about the new rocket launch after all these years.
Misa, turn around!
We can't just—
Senomiya Misaki!
You?
Freeze!
Hands in the air!
Raise your hands now!
Misa...
Sis...
Aki! How long is it until that rocket launch?
Are you listening, Senomiya?! Raise your hands!
Sis!
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
Great occasion for a spoony bard, the sushi is.
Exactly!!
Tune in next week too!
