Hey...
Hey, hey...
What's with the shape of its legs?
It... didn't actually fall.
It jumped here.
I... I totally don't want to do this.
But... this isn't the time to be saying that, I guess.
Wh-Why you...!
Alex!
We're going after it!
Wh-Why?
Th-That's impossible...
W-We could... attack it from behind...
What?!
No... You've got to be kidding!
All right!
String.
There is a martial art that uses wire.
There are fibers that the army uses.
Various other organisms on Earth also incorporate the use of string.
Among them, the organism that creates the strongest string
doesn't make traps, or capture its prey with a net.
Instead, its livelihood depends on two strings that will not break.
Compared to a strand of spider silk of the same width,
this creature produces a string that can withstand 2.5 times more weight.
This insect...
is the Eumeta Japonica, which inhabits Japan.
It is an endangered species.
Sorry to keep you all waiting.
I'm sorry that I left my post.
I'm here to save you.

By the way...
Are you all okay with bungee jumping?
Y-Yeah, that's fine, Akari-kun. I'm sure you have an id—
No! No way!
Even though you're kinda good looking, no!
Now then...
Your legs seem rather developed.
Do cockroaches bulk up, too, if they run or do squats?
Or maybe you're doing Tantou.
Nah...
Your legs are completely different.
What are you...? A grasshopper?
This is deep.
This thing's hands seem to have suckers on them, and I can't get away.
Its legs look like brushes, making it easier for him to swim.
Its back is shaped differently, too.
Its body is adapted for underwater battles.
It's not a cockroach...
Is it...
a diving beetle?
Five hundred years ago when they shipped the cockroaches off to Mars,
did diving beetles somehow get mixed in?
I'm surprised they survived, considering there was no water back then.
Apparently I have more of an imagination than I thought...
There's no way that could happen...!
2 Years Ago...
Is that someone from our parents' generation?
These things...
Did they...
Use the corpses...?
I'm not gonna stop this plane.
I'm going to beat you within two minutes.
Nothing good has ever happened to me since I was born.
My father was already gone when I was born.
I got bullied because my home was so run-down...
And with men, I've only met uglies, or horrible hot guys or horrible old men!
It's still early to be giving up, Yaeko.
Right...
H-Huh?
Sorry, Akari...
I don't think I'll be able to help you out for a while,
until I get everyone down safely...
It'll be fine. Akari...
is strong.
The battle was already over.
At that moment, Michelle had a feeling the cockroaches
were using the bodies of the Bugs 2 crew.
It's because she's so cunning that, at that moment, she was shaken.
It was also because she was shaken that she was dragged down so far.
The diving beetle's aerodynamic body has suckers on its front legs,
flippers for back legs,
and it also breathes in the special way unique to all underwater bugs.
It submerges itself by storing air in the space between its wings and its back,
but it doesn't merely consume this air.
When the oxygen is used, the emission of carbon dioxide increases,
and the carbon dioxide is exchanged with the oxygen in the water.
Therefore, it is possible for the diving beetle to survive in
the water for more than ten minutes without having any gills.
Michelle, on the other hand, is purely a land organism,
and her limit is two minutes.
Even with her bullet ant powers,
if her enemy's body temperature gets as cold as the water,
it is very possible they will not explode.
At this point, there is no way for Michelle to win.
If there is no way to win, Michelle...
will block her enemy's mobility,
squeeze with her legs as if they were a vise,
stop moving,
and count... two minutes.
Suffocation: Stage 1
For several seconds, your body will use the oxygen retained in the body.
Because of the carbon dioxide building within the blood,
you start experiencing severe pain.
Suffocation: Stage 2
Your blood pressure goes up, your muscles start to cramp, cyanosis.
Incontinence.
Suffocation: Stage 3
After things have progressed from stage 2,
you completely lose consciousness.
The cramping stops, and things become rather dire.
Cockroaches do not feel pain.
It's because it doesn't feel pain that it was perplexed
about why these legs, that are supposed to produce the utmost mobility
in the water, now couldn't move even a millimeter.
This worked in Michelle's favor.
If her enemy could feel pain,
it would have been screaming and writhing
in the hell-like pain it was experiencing.
If that had been the case, Michelle wouldn't have been able to stay so calm.
However, despite appearances, this move called the "figure-four leglock"...
It is said that if you endure it for two minutes, your bones will break.
However, even with her enhanced heart and lung functions,
after fighting for two minutes under water
Michelle did not have the ability to release the lock and
swim back to the surface.
Once suffocation reaches stage 4, recovery is unlikely...
And once it progresses beyond that,
only death awaits.
W-We're saved...
The division leader still hasn't surfaced.
Akari's...
Crap!
Are you surprised?
I heard that a grasshopper's legs
are powerful enough to jump over buildings when magnified to human size.
And yet... "Why can't I break him? Why can't I kill him?
Why can't I rip apart this vermin?" I'm assuming?
I'll tell you why.
It's because you're a roach.
I'm assuming...
that the person who had the powers of a grasshopper on Bugs 2
was stronger than you.
It's true that your strength, speed, and durability are all a threat.
Not to mention
you understand how to operate the machines the humans left behind,
or you're being led by someone who does.
And that leader apparently has has total command over you all.
Judging from the lack of hesitation in all your actions,
that leader has a vision.
That wisdom and power is also a threat.
Even then...
none of you have any experience fighting.
Hey.
What's the matter?
You can't kick me if I'm this close?
The first year, you learn your form and how to break logs.
Start over!
Don't stand up.
I'm not letting you stop this plane.
Since I adjusted the length...
Michelle-san...
should be just about done...
finishing off her enemy before her two minutes
of air run out.
I see... He's pretty impressive.
And now, stop!
Hey! I told you not to stand up!
I'm pretty sure that was the effect of inertia... I think.
There's a lot of things you need to learn in science...
unlike language studies.
A jumping grasshopper is one thing,
but a cockroach with its wings spread is just a target.
One more!
That one wasn't a bird ability.
That was the legendary magic ball, the curve, first performed in 1867,
and its Magnus effect.
You won't find that on a test!
A transmission?
Which division is it from?
If I recall, the manual said non-combatants should go to
the escape vessel.
There aren't any non-combatants in this division.
All right. Let's go.
We're going to stop Rahab's legacy.
