Kazahaya Elementary School, Tochigi Prefecture
What wrong, Mr. Kanzaki?
They've all withered.
Ah.
I don't understand...
The students were the ones who wanted these flowerbeds...
But unless someone tells them to take care of it, this happens.
How can they just not care?
I'm not sure it's that...
Teacher!
Thank you!
Kids just keep changing, you know?
Even their parents don't understand them, sometimes.
The world's full of things we can't understand. Like those Unidentified things.
You think those kind of things are influencing them?
Mr. Kanzaki, maybe you should relax a bit every once and a while.
See you later.
I don't understand...
A era begins from zero on this empty planet.

Pole Pole, Bunkyo Ward
Sorry about that! Time to switch. Good work! Thanks!
It's okay! I'm almost finished.
What? Liar!
How can it be done so fast?
You must have messed up...
...Or not.
You see?
Come on Pops, take a seat!
Go on.
You're really on the ball today.
Well, I can't help out tomorrow...
Have to try and make up for that, right?
Who are you meeting tomorrow?
Someone who really means a lot to me!
Promise
I made a promise to him, a long time ago.
Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture
Huh?!
Idiot!
What are you thinking?! Get lost!
Congratulations, you get to be my first!
Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture
You say you're cleaning up, but you've made a mess!
I'll clean up soon.
What's got your attention?
Oh! This brings back some memories!
Your previous school?
Yeah.
If you start looking through it now, it'll get dark soon.
Yeah.
Let's all meet again some day! Stay Well! - Iwafune Kenichi
What you said was really moving! - Godai Yusuke I will keep my promise! Check the classroom on March 25, 2000
Something I said?
Promise?
Check the classroom on March 25th 2000
March 25
Hey! I'm going out for a bit.
Pole Pole
All right Pops, I'm heading out.
Have a safe trip!
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
Oh, you're here, Nana.
Hey Uncle, who was that guy?
Just now?
That was Yusuke Godai, one of my so-called workers.
He likes to call himself stuff like Koi no Fuuga or Yoshiko Kuga, but don't pay him any mind.
Yusuke Godai? He's so cool! He's like the star of a TV show!
You think so?
Metropolitan Police Headquarters
Ichijou!
- Good Morning. - Morning.
Have you heard about the reorganization of Joint Investigation Task Force?
Yes...
They probably think that prolonged conflict with these things is going to require more specialists.
Yeah.
And with your reputation, you're gonna be with us for the time being, I bet.
Seems so.
This is really going to make your girlfriend back home cry.
I don't have one.
We're here playing your J-Pop, as usual,
Jounan University Archeology Department
and we're about to go into this week's Top Three, but first let's check and see if everything's in order...
All right, looks like it's ready!
Let's got this going! J-Pop ranking, Top Three!
We've been bringing you our listener-ranked J-Pop now hits, and coming in at number 3...
When evil rises, behold it from the distance and become the warrior who pierces it like a gale. When evil rises, don the steel armor and become the warrior who splits his foes like the cracks in the earth itself.
Going up the ranks it's Riders, with Speed Kick!
Ooyama Yuki from Kanagawa called in for this one, so congratulations.
There, perfect!
That also goes for Rakutaro in Saitama, and Yamazaki in Tokyo.
And to our listener who sent in their vote from Hokkaido...
Hello?
Jean? Good morning!
You okay?
Yes. I feel great now after some umeboshi!
Nagano Park Hotel
How's the excavation?
We're finding plenty of things that are similar to that piece from before.
Really? It must be a lot of work then.
No problem!
I have a cute assistant with me, after all.
A cute assistant?
Who?
I'll put her on now.
This is Miss Sakurako Sawatari.
Oh! Hello? It's Mika Natsumi here.
Mika? You're there too?
Yes! I forced them to let me join the excavation team!
You did?
I wanted to help out, like my father would have.
I see...
Give it your best!
I will!
JR Utsunomiya Line
What you said was really moving! - Godai Yusuke I will keep my promise! Check the classroom on March 25, 2000
Ishige, Ibaraki Prefecture
What's that?
What's going on?
Huh?
Hey!
What the heck?
Metropolitan Police Joint Investigation Task Force HQ
They left quite a bit of stuff behind...
Some of the articles we retrieved aren't common items...
These are the two things we can definitely say are tied directly to their nature.
Yeah.
But what the hell is it...?
Were they seriously counting something, for some reason?
Excuse me.
Hello?
Oh, Mr. Ichijou?
Is that you, Kameyama?
I'm not calling just to chitchat!
Nagano Prefectural Police HQ, Security Division
Is it true that you're transferring to the Metro PD because of this reorganization of the joint task force?
Seems likely.
No way!
I thought you were coming back as soon as the case was taken care of!
What are you saying? The fact of the matter is, new Unidentified Life Forms keep popping up!
That's true, but...
Joint Investigation Task Force HQ.
What?!
Got it!
We've got orders to head to Ibaraki for the investigation!
Sorry, something's happened. I've got to go.
New Futako Bridge, Setagaya Ward
Yusuke Godai! Unidentified Life Form #22 has appeared!
Where is it?
In Ibaraki, a town called Ishige.
Got it!
Teacher! Sorry but I'm going to be late!
Jounan University Archeology Department
Hello?
Oh, Godai?
Miss Sakurako!
Could I ask you to go somewhere in my place, please?
What?
An Unidentified Life Form's appeared!
What?!
Do you have paper?
Oh... yeah.
Take the Gotemba Line, get off at Yaga Station... you want to head for Tachibana Elementary School.
A teacher called Kanzaki is waiting.
I'll do what I can in the meantime.
Whoa, hang on...
He's an amazing person!
I'm counting on you!
Why do I have to...?
Mr. Kanzaki. Tachibana Elemantary. Gotemba Line, Yaga.
Yusuke Godai, #22 is at Tsukuba. We've got a car tailing it.
Got it!
Ueno, Taito Ward
Zain is taking action on his own.
Zain?
We can ignore his nonsense.
It's my turn... right?
Not yet.
Why not?
Things aren't ready yet.
Use the Linto's language here.
Just wait... a little longer.
The Hanaba Line will be heading to the Odawara station soon.
Tokyo Station Platform 7
Please wait near your platform.
Wait! Wait!
I made it!
Just in time.
Calling Ibaraki research headquarters, this is Car 04, Ichijou. What's the situation?
We've currently cornered #22 under the overhead railway at Kamigo.
Roger!
Kamigo, Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture
Stupid Linto!
This is Ibaraki 02! We've engaged the Unidentified Life Form at Kamigo in Tsukuba!
Ibaraki 02! What happened?! Ibaraki 02?!
Please respond! Ibaraki 02?! Ibaraki 02?!
Are you all right?!
Hey!
#22...
It left in the direction of Takura.
Hold on!
Hey!
Yusuke Godai. #22 has moved towards Takura.
As soon as I've handled things here I'm heading that way.
Got it!
Spare me!
You're the thirty-fifth one...
Yaga, Yamakita, Kanagawa Prefecture,
Huh?
Country Red Bean Soup
Here you are.
Do you want some country style red bean soup?
Please.
Got an order for soup.
Okay!
Excuse me.
There aren't many buses for Yamabedaira compared to before, are there?
Not many people live there, these days.
Did you live here before?
No. I worked here.
I see.
You know...
Yes?
I'm going to meet a student of mine.
I see...
Thirteen years ago... he was a sixth year student.
Is that right?
But...
Will he really come?
What?
If he doesn't show up, I...
I'll have no choice but to quit teaching.
Transform!
Kuuga! I can do that too!
Killing you will prove I'm one of the best. The name's Zain!
Get ready to die...
You're done!
Omoi nimotsu wo makura ni shitara.
I make a pillow out of my heavy luggage.
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.
Boku wa... aozora ni naru.
I will become the blue sky.
Excuse me, are you Mr. Kanzaki?
Is it ready?
Oh, yes...
I mean, it'd still be a kick... but I think I need a stronger kick to beat it.
They're going to demolish it...?
Everything I believe in... It seems it's all destined to fade away.
I don't think so!
I think right now Godai's probably using his 2000th skill to do whatever he can.
Yusuke Godai!
Do you know what this means?
