I always have the same dream.
Rin is sleeping in the snow.
Rin...
Big sister.
You shouldn't be up.
It's all right, big sister.
You don't need to come everyday.
Hurry up and lie down.
Big sister...
Could you do me a favor?
What?
Look.
Angelic Layer?
Do you want to do this?
No. Please do it for me since I can't.
Well, shall we make an Angel together?
Really?
Rin...
I always have the same dream.
Rin is sleeping in the snow.

Be my only Angel
"The Final Game! Hikaru's Last Attack"
Now it's finally begun!
The Angelic Layer Kanto Games have reached the final game.
Who will win this fierce Kanto Games championship?
Now, I'll introduce them to you!
East Corner, the Angel is Hikaru.
The Deus who surprisingly made it here on her debut.
The Miracle Rookie, Misaki Suzuhara.
Misakichi, be sure to win!
West Corner, the Angel is Shirahime.
The Deus who defeated the ever-victorious goddess, Hatoko Kobayashi.
The Ice Machine, Sai Jounouchi!
Miss Sai
Awesome!
Miss Sai Miss Sai!
Miss Sai You're cool!
I was watching your fight against Kaede.
It seems you haven't found Hikaru's weak point yet.
It's not Suzuka's fault.
We lost because I didn't have enough strength.
Please win, Misaki.
Win and prove that height and age don't matter in Angelic Layer.
For me, please.
That's good.
I'll fight at full power.
Thank you.
It feels odd being nervous about a friend's fight, rather than my own.
And here is the chosen battlefield for this final game!
The ocean?!
Yes, it's the ocean!
What kind of battle will they show us at this beautiful, sprawling beach?
Now, Entry Angel!
Wings of an Angel! Please guide me and Hikaru!
Angel, fall in!
Let the silver snow fall. Dance, Shirahime!
Angel, fall in!
And now, Angelic fight!
Here we go, Hikaru!
Good! Hikaru is doing good!
She's moving better than ever!
Yes, she's pressing well.
Certainly, Hikaru's movements are wonderful.
It's amazing that she has improved this much with so little experience.
But...
Right.
This Layer has disadvantages for Hikaru.
For Hikaru's weak point.
What...
Weak point?
But, just as someone's flaw becomes her charming point,
an Angel's weak point becomes a weapon.
Who knows?
Hikaru's kick explodes!
It's so awesome to see Hikaru like this!
Misakichi is so great!
Misaki has become very strong.
Yes, but...
She hasn't noticed it yet.
Shirahime only defends against Hikaru's quick attacks.
But it's unlikely that Sai Jounouchi will let it end this way.
What will Shirahime do?
This is...
Shirahime took off her robe!
What's this?!
Shirahime has removed her kimono in order to move easier.
Sai Jounouchi is really serious.
Rin...
Here we go.
You know what?
The costume is a pure white kimono, just like snow.
And she's very beautiful and very strong.
Rin
I also want a strong and beautiful name.
Rin
She has the strength to dream...
But no strength to live.
It can't be.
I want to be...
Strong.
I need to do more than dodge...
To win!
Here she goes! Hikaru's Rolling Thunder!
Good job!
No! Shirahime defended!
I thought I could send her out.
You're kidding!
Misakichi was leading up until a moment ago!
It's bad!
Hikaru's being pressed back!
I knew she was strong.
All right! I'll use all my strength this time.
Why?
I attacked full-force.
Hikaru!
Why?
Hikaru's attack has been hitting her but...
It hasn't caused any damage.
Hikaru!
Get up, Hikaru!
Hikaru!
Hikaru got up before getting the finishing blow!
As it was...
It might have been easier for you to let it end as it was.
Hikaru can...
Hikaru can still fight!
I did it!
Hikaru's attack is hitting, so why can't she push her out of the Layer?
I see...
Why doesn't Shirahime go flying?
She's light.
Hikaru is a lightweight Angel emphasizing speed more than anything.
The first parameter is split by speed and flexibility, so offense is low.
That's right.
Hikaru's attack is light.
It hits but it doesn't reach the point to cause any critical damage.
Shirahime's ability to defend is definitely superior.
Miss Sai has also noticed that
Hikaru doesn't have power to make Shirahime Layer Out from its center.
Ranga sacrifices weight and offensive power to attack using wind.
But she won by blowing Mao out of the Layer when she battled her.
Because they were at the edge of the Layer.
Blanche didn't have many points after becoming hyperactive,
That's mostly why she won.
Shirahime is a heavy type, emphasized in guarding.
She had the best defense from the start.
To make matters worse, the Layer this time is the ocean.
The coast is sandy.
Then, since her footing in the sand is bad...
Even if Hikaru maximizes her power,
Shirahime won't be made to Layer Out.
Hikaru's attack is light.
That's her weak point.
Misaki... I believe in you.
You won't give up until the very end.
Shirahime is totally different from Hikaru.
She's a much heavier Angel.
I won't be able to win if I keep attacking her.
What shall I do?
It seems you've found the difference between Hikaru and Shirahime.
What's wrong?
Are you going to forfeit?
No!
I will never forfeit the game!
I see.
I want to win.
I don't w ant to lose because Hikaru's small and light.
Not because she's small.
There's also a way for small people to fight.
A technique only someone small can do...
I need to think.
There must be something...
There must be a way to win even if she's small.
I found it!
What?
She noticed Hikaru can move around easily in the ocean.
Suzuhara's...
Amazing.
She never gives up.
Thank you, Misaki...
How about naming her "Shirahime"?
That's good, big sister!
Hey!
Thank you!
Thank you, big sister.
I'll always be by your side.
The champion of Angelic Layer's Kanto Games is Misaki Suzuhara!
Kaede...
I lost.
But you look kind of refreshed.
I always wondered why you can keep smiling like that.
I noticed it sometime ago.
It's because you are really strong.
It's not true.
There's a secret.
To cry as much as I want, when I need to cry.
Ah, tenkiame no machi de
Fui ni guuzen surechigau
Ah, mioboe no aru shatsu
Masaka anata da nante
Sou okubyou na watashi wa
Jibun no koto shika mienakute
Itsuka anata no yasashisa ni motare
Amaete tayone
Kazoe kirenai yoru o koete
Taisetsu na mono ni kizuita
Kitto kitto mou mayowanai
Hitomi wa ima anata dake wo miteru
It may be a little too early for you,
but it's very important to find a best partner in your life.
What are you saying all of a sudden?
There's nothing to fear; if you pair up with the best kind of partner,
you can help and encourage each other during hard times.
Do you have someone so nice?
