Why did you transform, Godai?
To Miss Sakurako!
Urgent Translation Request!
Looks like some kind of ancient language!
I'm curious about this symbol I found at the excavation site!
I'm waiting outside the Nagano Prefectural Police station!
Morning!
Good morning, Jean!
You're early.
More like it was already morning before I noticed...
Got a lot of momentum going?
Who would stay up all night otherwise?
I wish I had never translated this...
Things are getting dangerous lately, huh?
Huh?
Don't you know?
"Unidentified Life Forms have appeared in Tokyo."
"The police have formally announced their existence."
No way.
An era begins from zero on this empty planet.

POLE POLE
This is a repeat announcement.
Pole Pole, Bunkyo Ward
The mysterious shadow caught last night by traffic cameras in Yamanashi prefecture...
was confirmed as Unidentified Life Form #5, arriving in Tokyo the next morning.
Afterwards, it fled in the direction of the Sumida River from Kuramaebashi Road.
After arriving in the area, it came into conflict with Unidentified Life Form #4...
Distance
That's all they've been talking about since last night.
And they let one of them get away!
What are the cops doing?
They just keep looking bad lately...
And he still isn't here...
Are you one of Yusuke's friends from school?
No.
No? Then one of his adventure partners?
Well! Let me tell you... I used to do the crazy adventurer thing too in my day!
I've been to the top of most mountains you could name.
Let's see... 'Chomolanman'!
Chomolanman was one rough climb!
I mean, when I went up there it was called Everest, but nobody knows it by that name... y'know?
See there?
You know, people used to call Everest "Erevest" in the old days.
Ever hear that one?
No.
I guess for kids your age it's just 'Chomolanman', right?
No.
Here.
Wow, he's taking his time, huh?
Well, no sense worrying!
I guess we can talk about my adventures to kill time until he shows.
Once, I...
Sorry for being so late!
Finally!
And I was getting to the good part...
Hey!
Since you went to the trouble of coming out... Did something happen?
No. You're unlikely to go yourself, so I'm taking you to see Tsubaki.
Tsubaki?
The one who was going to give me a check up?
We were classmates in high school. He can keep a secret.
And you might want to mention to the manager there...
It's pronounced 'Chomolungma.'
Hello. This is 'Pole' home of the authentic Oriental aroma and flavor--
Oh, Sakurako!
Yusuke?
Oh, so close!
He just left a second ago with a friend!
I think they said something about Kanto Medical University Hospital.
Maybe he's visiting someone?
He never works, that guy!
Do you know anyone I could have replace him?
Say, Sakurako?
Huh?
When did she hang up?
'With a friend'?
Ichijou
As the person you are trying to contact is currently driving, you will be redirected to the phone message service center.
Kanto Medical University Hospital
Whoa, hang on...
What is he?
I get back from the coroner's office...
And now I have to deal with someone dangerous?
Am I dangerous?
Look, I do autopsies.
I try to help you out by using the hospital's equipment...
And I see something so crazy it makes me want to run an autopsy on him.
What do you mean?
He's the same as them.
The same?
Your body matches what I saw in the Police Research Institute's findings on Unidentified Life Form #1's biology .
I guess I'm a lot stronger now, then?
...Bit of a free spirit, ain't he?
That's how he is.
Specifically, your muscles are strengthening and your nerves are developing.
It's especially pronounced in your right leg.
Maybe that's why my right leg was so hot when I was fighting!
What's your relation to them?
Well, I saw these images in my head of a war in ancient times...
And when I put the belt on, and tried imitating what I saw, I turned into that ancient warrior.
They've been examining their bodies from all angles at the Research Institute,
but I bet they're also something out of the ancient past.
Did you see anything that could be a problem for his health?
Nothing so far, No.
What do you mean "so far"?
The object in his abdomen seems to be spreading out like a nervous system through his entire body.
It's probably what gives out the signal that causes your body to transform like that.
It's fine now, but if it reaches your brain...
Worst case scenario, you'll become something inhuman.
Like what?
He'll be the same as them.
A living weapon who exists only to fight.
A living weapon?
It'll be fine!
No problem!
Is everything ready?
It's time for you to start, Baduu.
I get to be the first, huh?
Baduu.
Eighty-one people in two days.
Eighty-one, got it?
It'll be easy.
I get to go next.
Huh? Miss Sakurako!
Hello.
- How'd the deciphering stuff go? - Did you manage to decipher anything else?
Nothing at all! Maybe I never will!
What?
Why? You're the only one who can do it!
What's with the bike?
Isn't it great?
This is the police's top secret prototype bike. Mr. Ichijou gave it to me.
What?
Mr. Ichijou did?
Why did you do that? Didn't I tell you to stop him?
Well, I have to! I'm Kuuga!
You're not Kuuga! You're Godai!
How can you take something like this up so easily?!
Well, if I'm the only one who can do it, I have to, right?
That doesn't mean you have to risk your life!
I'm doing it because I want to. That's all.
It'll be okay!
I'm leaving.
Wait! I'll give you a lift!
It's fine! I'm going back by myself!
Yusuke Godai.
Yes?
I'll be returning to Headquarters. Can we meet again afterwards?
Sure thing.
I'll contact you.
Metropolitan Police Headquarters
I'll be direct with this.
Ichijou.
Metropolitan Police Headquarters
The TryChaser 2000A prototype.
Why does #4 have it?
He is our ally.
And, given the situation, I didn't think there was a better alternative.
I read through Sugita's report.
Ultimately, given the situation,, your call may have been the correct one...
But if you refuse to provide details on your reasoning...
The police will continue to treat him as an Unidentified Life Form,
with orders to shoot on sight.
If he becomes a threat, I'll shoot him myself.
I don't want to have to take you off the Joint Investigation Task Force.
All I can ask is that you trust me for now, sir.
Very well.
Really?
Well, that'll do for today, right?
Listen, I have some interesting intel...
What is it?
There hasn't been a single Unidentified Life Forms sighting today.
However, there were reports of 'jumping incidents' reported this afternoon.
Nine so far.
Near Kuranami
You wanted to talk?
Is this about Miss Sakurako?
Yes.
It'll be okay.
If I know her at all, she'll be okay.
That's good.
Please give her some time.
Sure.
That's twenty six...
Hey, you!
What happened?
And now twenty-seven...
Search Complete
No way!
It's finished searching?
Oh! I saw you forgot to start it up, so I just hit enter for you.
You did?
Yeah.
[Warrior]
Eh?
So this character means, 'warrior'!
You have to show me more, I've been getting kind of fascinated...
There you are!
I knew you'd be here.
You're okay, right?
Just y'know, think about it rationally.
See you!
It's me!
An Unidentified Life Form's appeared in Asagaya, Suginami!
Suginami?
It seems a patrolman was questioning a suspect that changed into the Unidentified Life Form.
They can transform too?!
I-Identify yourself!
Asagaya, Suginami Ward
It's been too long, Kuuga!
You'll be fighting me, Zu-Baduu-Ba, and my Death Jumps!
If only I could jump higher...
Really Kuuga? That's it?
You can't beat me.
Time to die!
You're finished.
If I don't think of something...
I turned blue!
Nice. Let's see what you can do in blue.
Now that's more like it!
Come at me!
My jumping ability, it's increased!
But my punches are weaker!
I make a pillow out of my heavy luggage.
Omoi nimotsu wo makura ni shitara.
With a deep breath, I become one with the blue sky.
Shinkokyuu... aozora ni naru.
With eyes open or closed
Me wo akete 'te mo tsubutte mo.
I pass over the same scenes but
Onaji keshiki wa sugite yuku kedo
I just noticed something I couldn't miss.
Ima, mite 'nakucha... kizukenai.
Come on, follow me to a future with no more sadness.
Kimi wo tsurete yukou kanashimi no nai mirai made.
The only thing in my pocket is the smile on your face.
Kimi ga kureta egao dake poketto ni shimatte.
I will become the blue sky.
Boku wa... aozora ni naru.
He's hurt somewhat badly. He's in the hospital now.
The damage to his body would have killed any normal person.
He's similar... to me.
Is a day going to be enough to finish?
This one or that one?
It's all down to the situation.
Miss Sakurako!
Time to finish you...
Found it!
