- She's kind of cute. - Yeah!
And so Satoka Tachikawa here moved from Kobe to Tokyo.
Everyone, if she has a question, please help her.
Pleased to meet you!
All right, this ends home room for today.
But I hear that most of the boys have been skipping room clean-up.
I realize you guys are busy with extracurricular sports and whatnot,
but unless you carry out your duties,
it will be reflected on your conduct reports.
I think birds are lucky.
They flutter through the sky,
and can always go wherever they want.
They can leave the garbage-filled city of disgusting humans beneath them.
They live and fly free, bound by nothing.
If I am to be reborn,
I think I'd like to be a bird.
But...
I am...

AYANE
What do you want?
Isn't the new girl in your class
the one from the karaoke box?
Satoka Tachikawa, age 17.
Master of the ability to materialize energy, the "Gate of Blades."
Joined the Aegis Network in 1999.
Does that mean she's a new ally?
That has nothing to do with you.
Huh?
You don't feel like fighting anymore.
Um, I... But...
You have nothing to do with it, so...
Actually she has a lot to do with it.
P-Pleased to meet y...
Oh, yeah. We already met.
The other day, I mistook her for you.
The Aceinvader Hunter,
Gate Keeper of Wind, Ayane Ukiya.
Excuse me, but you're wrong.
I meant to mention it before.
Her name is Ayane Isuzu, not Ayane Ukiya.
That's interesting.
Only daughter of the legendary invader Hunter, Shun Ukiya.
Why would you be using your mother's maiden name?
My, my. Are you going to run away? I wish you wouldn't.
'Cause there's a whole pile of things I want to ask you!
Hey!
U-Um...
Uh, no, look! There!
I just heard a buzzing sound. It's really itchy.
It was a mosquito.
Mosquito?
You, uh, I mean...
You have wonderful swordsmanship.
Anyway...
Hey, what the heck? Did she ditch me?
Shinjuku, Fire in the Entertainment District
A building caught fire before dawn on the 28th...
in Shinjuku's entertainment district.
Suspicions are rising about a possible structural flaw.
I am reporting live at the scene of the accident.
Thank you for that report. The time is now 6:30 AM.
Time for today's street...
An accident! A structural flaw? That's ludicrous!
What's the matter, Hashimoto?
If it's about that case, forget it. We have our orders.
Yeah, but including staff and customers,
over 60 people have disappeared!
They say rumors die after 75 days.
I'm not buying it.
Let's just do what we're ordered to.
We don't have the time or energy to fix every single idiot.
I called...
Satoka Tachikawa simply because we need more people.
Invaders are becoming more active here in Tokyo.
You must be having a hard time by yourself.
Yes. She has her quirks,
but she's highly skilled. In the current situation...
So, I'm not...
dependable enough?
I told you before. You're special.
Forget it. I understand the situation.
Anyway, have you made up with her?
Miu Manazuru. Apparently you haven't been working together.
Made up?
We were never friends to begin with.
Bye.
Ayane!
Don't work too hard.
It's been a long time...
since you called me by my name.
Are you really sure you want to...
in a place like this?
It's a good method:
Lure the prey with the scent of sweet honey,
and catch them with poison powder.
But they'll spot it right away.
Don't worry.
The shogun was obliterated, you know.
He is only gone temporarily.
We do not die forever.
However, I must crush those who are a thorn in my side.
Oh.
What a pretty song.
A part-time job?
Jobs are prohibited at our school.
But why the job?
Well, I wanted to start something new.
It's the bakery in front of the station, right?
Yeah. It's called "Athento."
Still, it sounds like fun.
Every night since the fire, I've been having nightmares.
Maybe I'll start something new, too. To clear the air.
That's true.
It-It's okay! It was the explosion of the building
that shocked us all into having delusions. That's all.
Still...
I wonder if that really was a dream.
It had to be. The news said it was just an accident.
I hope you're right.
Well, it sure didn't seem that real.
Is Miu Manazuru here?
What is that chick thinking?
Huh?
I'm talking about Ayane Ukiya!
Oh, Isuzu?
Right...
Every time I try to talk to her, she ditches me.
You're partners with her, aren't you?
S-Sort of...
Then tell me. What kind of person is she?
What kind?
I can't hear you!
Well...
Man, you're slow! Forget it!
But I don't even know that myself.
I don't know anything about Isuzu...
To love one not loving oneself
is to pickle the behinds of the lord's naughty children.
You scared me!
Yukino. Um, how long have you been there?
Um, did you say "pickle"?
The LPW is below normal levels.
However...
That's right. Presently, the LPW figure is still below 70.
But I want it checked out ASAP. No, there is no proof.
It's only a hunch.
Welcom...
U-Um...
- How much?
- R-Right.
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Huh?
You were full of it when you said everyone should enjoy themselves.
In the end, the "everyone" you spoke of was only yourself.
You look timid,
so everyone gets the wrong idea.
But in real life you're selfish and self-serving. Aren't you?
You worry, but you only act on your own self interest.
You run away from men and fights,
trampling people's feelings who worry about you
without a second thought.
But there's nothing wrong with that. After all...
you aren't my friend.
Guess what I found yesterday... a toupee!
What's wrong?
Uh...
You're Miu, right? Are you ok at the register alone?
Gate Open!
Eliminate her. Eliminate her.
Wow, that's great. Are you trying to match me?
However, I also have more than one sword!
You're late.
You really took your time getting here.
Don't step on those. They're all mine, you know.
This totals about one million yen.
There's more.
Don't be stupid! I got them all!
No way! These are all mine?
I'm so lucky!
There's gotta be 3 mil... no, 5 million here!
What?
What are you doing? Let me go!
I am...
I am human.
How can you cut me apart?
You all turned into invaders because you lost your souls!
We are human. Why? Why?
Stop joking around!
Hey, give me a hand!
With what?
Can't you tell? With them!
S-05E. Akuma Hakushaku is able to launch illusionary attacks
by sending electronic signals to the brains of human beings.
Adjust output. Lightning Gate, create small magnetic pulse!
Falling under the enemy's spell can be good sometimes. And educational!
He's here.
Another illusionary attack?
No.
It appears you've been lured by my sweet honey,
Gate Keeper Clan.
He's huge!
After many moons, my flesh was laid to rest and spread in all directions.
This city's trees are my limbs.
Keep your lousy limbs to yourself!
What the hell is this?
My limbs are dripping with a volatile sap,
a ghastly fluid that will transform humans into one of my kind.
Could've mentioned that sooner!
But that stuff is useless. Gate Keepers can't become invaders.
Ah, but I can KILL Gate Keepers.
Recovery... The Gate of Life?
And one more.
I see. However...
Ultimately, they are artificial gates created by machines.
They can't compare to the original.
This won't hold.
There is no way to escape. Eleven imitation gate cell phones remain.
Unexpectedly, the Sealing Gate cannot coordinate properly.
We're not third-rate Aegis Network hunters!
Don't use the imitation gates! Use real ones!
Open the Gate of Wind, quick!
I don't want to use it.
I don't like it.
This isn't any time to be picky!
You've about reached your limit.
You're in the way! If you're not going to work, don't interfere!
I won't lose.
I refuse to let that happen. I'll never lose!
Be quiet.
Kill him.
I'll kill him!
Gate Open!
Is this the Gate of Wind?
You are too late!
Vacuous missile!
Ahh!
It's too late for that!
The Tachikawa Special Super-Ultimate Chop.
Or, whatever...
Hey, I got to see your Gate of Wind.
I'll admit it's amazing.
It definitely ranks with the strongest attack gates,
Like the Lightning, Explosion, and Curve Gates.
Still, if I may, your fighting method needs work.
Most of all, you're completely vulnerable before and after your attack.
Hey, are you listening?
Not again!
The Hakushaku has disappeared, too.
Everyone will disappear.
Mission complete.
- Miu! - Yoo-hoo!
Fukai yoru no haneoto wa... Winged sounds in deep night...
Tooi shoujo no hibi no... Are the echo of distant days...
...kodama. ...of young girlhood.
Tsuki no fune wa sotto... The boat of the moon...
...namida kobosu yo. ...softly drops a tear.
Yonde yo... Call me...
...harukana natsu no namae. ...the name of faraway summer.
Toki wa nagarete... Time passes...
Daremo inakute... Everyone is gone...
Kanashii hodo ni kireina... The dawn is so pretty...
...yoake. ...it's sad.
I don't know what I should do.
That isn't unusual.
I am the one person I understand the least.
A jet black giant appeared before me in the midst of my confusion.
