We're a super elite division of the Egregori...the Ex Armis.
We have ESP, and other extraordinary psychic powers.
As for me, I find myself fascinated by your Arms...
most especially by this "Jabberwock'' sleeping within you.
To save your friends, come to the Aisora Amusement Park tonight.
As those who took you in, knowing about ''Arms''...
we also knew that, someday...
the day would come when you'd leave us, to go fight.
We tried our best to teach you different things...
such as how to survive, how to fight...how to be gentle.
Have more confidence in the fine person you've become...Ryo.
And that's the final lesson.
It's still not too late, you know. Can't we still stop this fight, Cliff?
Must you be such a wet blanket, Yugo...?
It isn't as though I've forgotten.
The sufferings they've inflicted...
The organization...the Egregori... To them, we Ex Armis are lab rats.
They'll squeeze what knowledge they can from us, then toss us aside.
Yugo...
So I do want to defeat Jabberwock...
using our own power, to show them!
I know only too well how you feel. But...
Poor Yugo. You could not be more mistaken.
You mustn't look down on yourself. For we are the chosen ones...
And yet...it's a lonely existence.
Keith Red...
The special cyborg team.
They move in packs, and can do no more than follow orders like sheep.
We are different.
Then why Jabberwock...?
Yugo.
When you looked through Ryo Takatsuki's eyes...
what did you see?
Brother...
Did you think I didn't notice? Who do you think I am, Yugo?
He was the same...as us.
He...and the others. They just wanted to be normal.
And yet, without a choice, they were implanted with Arms...
And, because of it, lost so much.
Yugo...
And yet...! Even so, you mean to kill him!
Poor Yugo. You still don't understand.
This is war. A fight for existence...for survival.
They would do the same.
Who shall be the chosen ones? We are about to find out.
And, if we are somehow able to steal a march on Keith and the Egregori...
then so much the better.
Welcome.
Such a pleasure to meet you... Ryo Takatsuki.
I am Cliff Gilbert, of Ex Armis.
Where are my friends?! Hayato! Takeshi! And Kei!!
Remain calm. I've prepared a party, just for you.
Please enjoy all the attractions.
What... What is all this?!
Hayato!
Takeshi!
Kei...!
Like it?
Those locations are your frontline.
You stay put.
I'll rescue my friends, then I'll come for you! I won't be long.
Excellent. Though I very much doubt you'll be alive much longer.
It's...showtime!
Hang on, Hayato... I'll be right there.
Stay out of this!
Boooring.
So you control Jabberwock? It's you Keith Red fears so much?
My body's custom modified, enhanced by special genetic codes...
extracted from certain cells. Or, so I've been told.
That's why...as you can see...
no matter how deep the wound, it heals automatically.
In other words, when it comes to an attack from an "Arms" like you...
it hasn't the slightest effect on me.
I must make that brat Keith see...
that I, the Invincible Volf, am hands down the strongest man on Earth...
by dangling the head of Jabberwock before his very eyes!
This is INSANE...
How can I fight a guy like him?!
Ryo...calm down. Please.
You're not losing to anyone.
It's true...I've gotta calm down.
He's human, he's got a weakness.
Something wrong?
Hurry and become Jabberwock, or I shan't have any fun at all.
Okay...It's do or die.
That face...I'll twist it right off!
First, attack the human weakness.
What th'?! Such speed!
Enough to paralyze the central nervous system...
with THIS!
You take me for a fool, if you think to defeat me with that.
I, the Invincible Volf, refuse to be fazed by any such atta...
Oh, dear.
With...with one...little punch...
This can't possibly be happening.
Can't see him! Too...fast...to counter!
Mom taught me.
She made me remember!
Everything I need to know is already here, inside me.
Puh leeze. Why are we the only family who has to do this?!
The world is full of surprises. And it won't hurt you to learn.
But what if they're in middle school? Or bigger than me??
This kind of fighting is...
That's why I'm teaching you such a variety of things.
However strong, or big... humans are humans.
More weak spots than you can count. Starting with this...!
When an opponent receives a blow to the brain...
there's an immediate effect upon the central nervous system.
Like a boxer, taking a counterpunch.
I don't...believe it. That I, Volf, the perfect specimen...
in both power, and strength, should be...
That's enough. The match is over.
You think too much of your muscles.
I don't get it...
You forgot that you're human... you forgot to put up a defense.
Defense...?
But...my muscles, they have super strength...
I've had no need of "defense"...
If it's super human strength you desire, you want the Egregori...
We'll welcome you, gladly.
You think you'll be welcomed into the world like that?!
You're nothing but an Egregori lab rat...
Remember your place!
Aha, so it was brain function you focused on.
No wonder his physical strength was of no use to Volf.
I've got to hand it to you, Ryo Takatsuki...
By not finishing the job, you showed Volf his own limits.
However, such compassion may not work on your next opponent...
Hayato, I'm almost there. Wait for
Now for the formal introduction. Meet Kyklops...
An expert wielder of knives.
What?! My Arms...!
It damages so easily. Observe the super oscillating blade...
It can slice right through your Arms.
Listen, Takatsuki...
This is a show. And you are its main performer...
its clown!
With a blade like that, I haven't got a chance.
Better find a place to hide.
Right, then. Over there.
My, my...
What an interesting place to run to.
He's seen Kyklops' special lenses, and thinks to fight in the dark.
But that, I'm afraid, is a mistake.
In a place like that, Kyklops' abilities will only be heightened.
For Ryo Takatsuki, there's no chance at all.
Not unless he transforms into Jabberwock.
When he looks into the well, that'll be my chance.
It's not much of a plan, but right now it's all I've got.
In normal circumstances, the human eye can only absorb...
a determined amount of visible light.
Kyklops' eyes, however, perceive both infrared and ultraviolet...
as well as x rays and gamma rays... nearly the entire spectrum.
An all seeing eye, truly.
No matter how dark the darkness, to him it is as broad daylight.
But what is most horrifying...
is yet to come.
His eyes capture rays of light...
and then release them, frying his prey to a crisp.
Be afraid, Ryo Takatsuki!
Die, Ryo Takatsuki!
Transform into Jabberwock!!
First the knife...now those eyes.
I'm helpless against him.
Is running from him all I can do... ?
< >
Jabberwock...
< >
Stop it...
< <I was created to destroy the Egregori...> >
< >
No o o!
Listen to me, Jabberwock...
I'm only here to save my friends! Not to kill anyone!
I am human!
I came of my own will.
And I refuse to just hand over that will to the likes of YOU...!
So back off, Jabberwock!
Looking good, Kyklops... Have your fun with him.
Give him pain...
until he transforms into Jabberwock.
Ryo Takatsuki... Can you hear me?!
Ryo Takatsuki!
You're in danger here. Your life is at risk.
What...was that?
Ryo Takatsuki...leap into the building there before you, now!
It is the only way you can escape the eyes of Kyklops.
Telepathy...??
Either way, I've no time to argue...
Pathetic Yugo...
how can you be so foolish?
I...can't take it anymore. Once you defeat Jabberwock...
what will you have gained, truly?
When you're the only one left standing, what is the point?
And that's why you helped our enemy, Ryo Takatsuki?
We were born with abilities that made us more than human, yes...
But, if we go further past this...
we'll be more than human no longer, but inhuman...!
Fair enough, Yugo. And yet, when that time comes...
Yes. I shall become as a god.
Is this...?
I see! Now I get it...!
Kyklops' weakness...I see it.
And here's where we'll test it.
Well, Kyklops?! I'm right here!
