This story, and elements
such as names, places,and organizations are fictional.
Sorry I'm late, Yuta.
My class was arguing about what to do.
Your class is doing an escape room?
Yeah.
What are you drawing?
It's Gridman.
But you don't remember him, do you?
No, but I imagine he looks Something like this.
Yeah, kind of.
You wanted to talk?
I'm thinking of confessing to Rikka.
Now?
You've missed your window.
I know.
I can't remember it, but I hear me and Rikka got close.
Yeah, thanks to Gridman.
It's because you keep drawing in the same place.
I guess it's too late.
No it isn't.
What's that? A horoscope?
You should wait till the end of the school festival.
Best to ask after a big event.
A big event?
My class has decided to put on a play.
Me and Rikka have to write the script.
A script? You and Rikka?
Which means, of course,the theme is already decided.
Can we really do this?
"Lonely Sneaker: A Stage Play"
Do you have tickets for this?
Yes. There'll be lots of seats left on the day,
but you can get tickets too.
OK, two tickets, please.
"Lonely Sneaker: A Stage Play"
Right! Today, I'm gonna invite Rikka to this play.
I'm gonna ask her, in a natural way.
Extremely naturally. Naturally, naturally...
-Rikka has a boyfriend!? -Not so loud!
Someone saw her entering a guy's apartment.
-An adult? -A university student?
Wow!
For real?
Nice one!
Yeah, the tournament....
That was close.
It's been a while.
Rikka has a boyfriend!?
A boyfriend...
A boyfriend.
What happened?
Yuta, are you alright?
Is he alright?
-That was a shock. -You're bleeding!
Yeah, I am.
Sir! Hibiki's bleeding!
Oh, but I'm fine.
"Nurse's Room"
Thank you.
What!?
You guys go on ahead.
OK!
Are you alright? There was a lot of blood.
Yeah, no problem.
It didn't hurt.
Really?
Yeah, I'm fine.
There was no need to make such a trouble.
That's alright then
By the way,
I heard you're writing a script for a stage play.
Yeah, with Utsumi. It's about Gridman.
I'm not in your class, but I'll give you a hand.
You will? Alright.
Read the script and tell me what you think.
I'd love to!
Thanks a lot.
And...
I thought maybe seeing this might help.
Wanna go see it with me?
Sorry, I'm busy that day.
Take Utsumi instead.
Oh, OK.
Rikka!
We've gotta go take pictures.
Alright!
Bye.
Finally! Let's go and see!
Shun Junk Shop
"The Gridman Story (working title)"
Just read the script.
A boy who's lost his memory. A superhero inside a computer.
A kaiju suddenly...
You're reading aloud?
-Shouldn't I? -Doesn't matter.
A kaiju suddenly appears. The city gets destroyed.
The boy gets sucked into the computer.
He merges with Gridman... Oh, this is about me?
Yeah.
He merges with Gridman, and defeats the kaiju.
It was all caused by a certain girl.
She created this world,
destroyed it, then repaired it.
However, she was just being used...
by a fearsome entity from another world.
To defeat Gridman, the girl produced kaiju after kaiju.
Even some sentient ones.
When she realized her warped mind was being exploited,
she lost hope, and became a kaiju herself.
But she was saved by Gridman,and the sentient kaiju she'd created.
And then...
Yuta.
What's up?
Nothing.
So? What do you think?
Erm...
It's a crazy story.
Well, objectively, you're right.
But we just wrote down what actually happened.
But I love the way you portrayed that girl, Akane Shinjo.
You do? That's the bit I really want to get across!
But that's the part that everyone's objecting to.
Really?
They say it lacks realism.
The most popular girl in class,but she loves kaiju.
The creator of this world.
It does sound a bit over-the-top.
But it's the truth. Akane really existed.
Yeah, I know, but...
Gridman sealed up his nemesis Alexis Kerib,
and Akane Shinjo left this world.
Me and Rikka are the only ones who remember.
Everyone else lost their memory. just like you.
Oh.
That's why we wanna tell everyone this story.
Who cares if it ain't realistic?
But we should put the focus on the battle scenes.
Enough with the "buts"!
You just wanna fight!
But it's an important element.
-The human drama part IS... -I know.
But all those action scenes...
You know, as entertainment...
By the way, this drama needs to be done by the whole class.
-But... -We need more characters.
You two never change!
In any case, with the script as it is. they'll object again.
We have to do something.
Yeah. Wanna rewrite it again?
Oh, you have changed.
Yeah, we're in 11th grade now.
You should see what a real performance is like.
Real?
"Battle Live Heroes"
That form. It's from the legend...
of when the two great powers of the universe meet.
Your true form will emerge from that radiance.
Take that!
Then you'll...
That's what I call real drama!
-Well?! -It's taught me a lot.
It's about time we left.
Why don't you take Rikka to see the play, instead of me?
Does it matter?
I feel your pain.
You invited a friend home?
Yes.
I wanted to see Shigeru.
He's never been a people person.
He doesn't open up, so he's never had friends.
The doctor says he'll walk again if he's motivated...
That was really rather good!
Didn't move me at all.
What? But...
Hey!
-Look. -Huh?
-What? -Shh!
Rikka has a boyfriend!?
A boyfriend!?
That was...
Rikka. At this hour.
Maybe her friend lives there.
But it's a one-room apartment.
But...
Forget that we saw her.
Yeah, I didn't see anything.
It's wiped from your mind.
Yeah, that memory's gone.
Well done.
It didn't work!
I mean...
I know it's harsh. Who'd've thought that Rikka...
But then again, it's not so extraordinary.
Hey, what's wrong?
There's something...
Be quiet!
There! Over there!
Where?
Huh? It's gone.
Yuta.
You're losing it.
You saw a ghost?
Yeah.
What's with that face? Are you cursed?
I really saw a ghost.
Must be from getting hit by that ball.
I really saw it! It was all blurry.
Oh.
Well, it's summer. Paranormal stuff happens.
No, for real, ...
How was yesterday?
You saw it, right?
I saw it, but I didn't see it.
Huh? Didn't you go see that play?
Oh, that.
Yeah, yeah, I saw it.
Let's go see.
What's going on?
I can see it! -For real?
I can't see it.
What's up?
Take a photo.
Why is that?
46
That's...
A kaiju!
That's a kaiju?
Yuta. Yuta!
I can hear Gridman.
In that script, I'm Gridman, right?
What are you...
-Hibiki! -Yuta!
He's going to the Junk!?
Can I do something? I'm not Gridman.
Hibiki again? Why?
Yuta! Wait!
Calibur!?
Max!
And...
Hi! Missed me?
I guess...
they're the Neon Genesis Junior High Students!
We can't protect you on our own!
Shun Junk Shop
This is the Junk?
His voice came from here.
This is Gridman!
I am Hyper Agent Gridman.
He talks!
It really is Gridman!
We don't know why, but this world is falling apart.
Save that for later! We need to stop that kaiju!
Yuta, will you fight with me again?
I don't remember last time, but I will!
If I'm capable of it!
Shout "Access Flash!"
and press the Primal Acceptor.
Alright!
Access Flash!
This is the form that fits you.
He's here.
Gridman.
Looks like it's Yuta again.
Grid Light Saber!
Looks like I'm not capable after all.
No, don't lose heart.
Yuta!
He isn't used to Gridman yet.
It's all new to him again.
Let's get to the Junk.
Wait.
Another kaiju!?
Oh, looks like the new guy is here to help.T
New guy?
He's our ally.
Let me help, Chief.
Thanks for coming, Dynarex.
Dynarex? He isn't an enemy?
Let me show you who I am!
Take this! Something Beam!
-Grid... -All-consuming Great Blaze...
-Rex Roar! -Beam!
Now for the last step!
Do it, Gridman!
Fixer Beam!
1
The Fixer Beam has healed the city.
Hibiki.
Looks like I couldn't fight very well.
Don't be so sad! You saved us all.
That's right.
We only won because you fought together with me.
But I bet my former self would've...
Are you the one who fought with Gridman?
-Yes? -Your name.
Hibi...
Huh?
Yuta Hibiki.
What a great name!
You saved us! Thank you so much!
Gridman can't fight unless you help and give him substance.
And only he can use the Fixer Beam, so thanks to you...
Hey!
You're heavy
Sorry!
This guy died and was mummified 5000 years ago.
Now he's been reborn as Dynarex.
Amazing, right?
Oh. I don't get it.
I'm Ga...
Rex, of the Neon Genesis Junior High Students.
Nice to meet you, Yuta.
Likewise.
Why has another kaiju appeared?
Even though Akane's gone.
Maybe it's someone else's doing.
I wonder.
We have to watch out for more kaiju. We'll see how it goes.
Rikka seemed to be worried.
About you becoming Gridman again.
You might be in danger again, and lose your memory again.
I don't remember being Gridman before.
But if it's something only I can do,
I have to do it.
What do you think?
I won't worry for you.
But I'm here for you.
Thanks.
I wanna see your face when she turns you down!
No, no, I'm joking! Sorry, sorry!
Thank you!
You're all gonna sleep here?
Another kaiju might appear.
Until we get to the bottom of it.
We'll help out at the store.
Your brother's room's free. It's nice to have guests.
Thanks so much for all this food!
You're welcome.
I've taken a bath.
Gridman, huh?
Another ghost?
In the bathroom, this time!
They often appear near water.
Stop scaring me!
-I see. -I take a bath every day!
I've rewritten the script.
Are you listening?
Yeah, it's no good.
Why? -What's wrong with it?
Like I said, it lacks realism.
I mean, kaiju don't exist.
But there was one right here!
What are you talking about?
If there'd been a kaiju, it would've destroyed the city.
But it's completely unharmed.
That's...
That's because Gridman healed it with his Fixer Beam!
Healed it with his Fixer Beam?
That sounds cool. A nice, happy ending.
I guess so.
But can we manage to perform it?
Why has everyone forgotten about Gridman and the kaiju yesterday?
Another calamity's happening.
And so close to our finals.
Yeah, I have my hands full just writing this script..
Gridman said that this world's falling apart.
The kaiju...
Hi, Gridman Alliance.
Rex?
I've had a look around this place.
It's similar to the world I came from.
The world you came from?
Are there so many other worlds?
Yeah!
Oh, it's a multiverse!
It means there are several universes!
Several universes?
It's a common series plotline.
After the previous battle...
Don't sneak up on us!
Tsutsujidai High School
After the previous battle.
kaiju should've disappeared from your world.
But they may have reappeared
because it's overlapped with the kaiju dimension.
Our world where there are no kaiju,
and the world where kaiju live.
You mean that several worlds have overlapped like this?
It's a possibility.
But why?
I wish we knew.
And if dimensions continue to overlap.
they may be obliterated.
The reverse of the Big Bang.
The Big Crunch may be happening on a dimensional level.
Which means...
It's the end of the world.
Looks like the script's going well.
Even though we have finals soon.
The world might end before we do our finals.
What?
Oh, I have to go.
-Streaming? -Influencing.
I'm too busy to study for the finals.
Hey.
See you.
Excuse me, could you give me directions?
Oh, you're lost?
Sure, I'll help you out.
Thanks. He has no idea where he is.
Huh? So it isn't you who's lost?
I'm looking after him.
The end of the world?
I should confess to Rikka before that happen.
But if she has a boyfriend, my world's already...
Who are you?
This is my bath! -No, it's mine!
-Mom! -Mom!
I can't. My battery's dead.
Mine's gonna die soon too.
We don't even know where we are.
The map was broken when we looked.
Let's try it again.
Please recharge
It's all your fault, Yomogi.
Really?
Hey, what's wrong?
We've gotten lost in our own neighborhood.
Captain! Gauma!
You guys...
Gauma, you're alive!
Alive?
I'm now Dynarex of the Neon Genesis Junior...
That time, when you disappeared,
I thought I'd never see you again!
Yomogi.
More people!? I guess it's just as well.
I was thinking we should have barbeque tonight.
I've bought some Iberico meat.
Mom.
It's alright, I bought meat too.
Mom!
-Skirt meat, and... -Not now.
Oh, am I disturbing something?
I'm so sorry! My timing's always so...
Carry on!
Wanna carry on?
Maybe we shouldn't.
Yeah, let's stop.
What have we got ourselves into?
Different world's are colliding.
What was it again? Erm...
The Big Crunch
Yeah, the Big Crunch
Where are Knight and the others?
On another mission. Goldburn's with them.
I'm glad Goldburn's still around.
So we can't get home during the Big Crunch?
Seems like it.
This place looks like where we're from,
but it's a different world.
Koyomi, what about your job?
I'm still looking for one.
-So it's fine. -Oh, it is?
You're all gonna sleep here?
It's like we're a B&B!
A stage play script?
Utsumi and Rikka are writing it.
but I'm not much help.
You think so?
We have finals, but they're working on it so hard.
They wanna tell your story at the school festival.
My story?
Yes.
You, Akane Shinjo, Rikka, and Utsumi's story.
Yuta, what about your story?
I don't remember anything about what happened.
Yume.
Looking for something?
Oh, erm...
I'm Rikka.
Rikka, do you have a spare phone charger?
With all these people, they're all being used.
Sorry you have to deal with so many of us.
It's fine. There were so many to start with.
Must be tough.
It must be tough for you.
How can you stay so calm?
Me and Yomogi have been in predicaments before.
Sorry if I'm out of line,
but are you and Yomogi...
Yes, we're in relationship.
I thought so. Oh!
You can use my power bank.
Thank you.
Can't you sleep?
Gauma.
We're in yet another pickle.
It ain't so bad, so I'm fine.
I knew you'd stay calm. You saved my life.
It's been so long. I don't know what to say to you.
Yeah.
I wish we'd said farewell properly.
Me too.
I've been through the same thing.
You and the princess?
Yeah.
There were so many things I wanted to tell you.
You can tell me now.
But I've forgotten them.
I see. Anyway, I'm glad you're all fine.
I'm glad you are too.
Some classes are preparing for the festival.
How about yours, Yuta?
-I guess. -You guess?
You should help them.
But I have to study for the finals.
I have bad grades.
Oh yeah, we have finals too!
Oh, so you're a hyper agent?
Yes, I'm from Hyper World
a different universe from yours.
Can't you leave this computer?
I'm just pure energy without substance.
Even this form and name is only temporary.
Oh, right. I don't get it at all.
He looks like Gridknight.
It's the other way round.
You're finally awake.
I overslept.
It's already 11.
We're home!
You've only just got up?
Good morning.
Don't you guys have to go to school?
Well...
The Big Crunch has brought us from a different world.
-Our school isn't here. -Are you kidding me?
We've nothing else to do.
Wanna go visit their school?
Sounds fun.
Are you serious? What if we get caught?
Already making costumes?
The script isn't finished.
We have to be ready.
You're making Gridman?
Why are you here?
To help you, of course!
Is this OK?
We need all the help we can get.
And what's this?
A picture of Gridman I drew.
-It's terrible! -But...
Gridman's more like this.
You know?
Like this.
Yeah, that's better.
Is it?
We just saw him. I can probably draw him.
Yeah, he looked something like this.
-Wanna try? -Alright.
That's so cool!
No, I didn't draw it well.
You drew it yourself?
Wow.
Don't you have to help your own class?
Yeah, I guess I should go back.
Here, I've finished.
Me too.
-That's awful! -Terrible
Something like this?
That's really good...
The End
Working title
I see.
Yeah, I like it.
Much better than before.
Thanks, you two.
Finished the script?
We've changed the plot.
Added Yomogi and everyone.
Here, give it a read.
Okay.
Let's tidy up.
I'm so glad it's finally come together.
You've just been making costumes!
No, I helped with the script too!
Look, I wrote this bit.
Nothing but action.
Why are you badmouthing the best bits?
You're so confident.
This is pretty good too.
Hi.
We should make this bit better.
It isn't even your own school festival!
I'm so hot!
Want an ice cream?
Yeah!
Right. Loser has to get everyone ice cream.
OK.
For everyone? Let's send two people.
-Well, I guess... -Ready?
Rock, paper, scissors...
It's cool outside.
The nearest store's alright, isn't it?
Through the park.
Yeah.
Where is it?
Got it! That's all of them.
But I don't think ice cream's enough.
Delicious!
I think we've had donuts together before.
During the time I can't remember?
Oh yeah, that's right.
I guess a lot happened inthe two months Gridman was inside me.
Yeah, too much.
Don't you mind losing those two months?
I don't really know.
But compared to before that,
I can talk to you more now,
so I'm glad it happened.
I guess it's alright, then.
Gridman...
Gridman and the Neon Genesis Junior High Students
say the world's gonna end.
But it doesn't feel like that.
I hope no more kaiju appear.
I'm still only 16.
I don't want the world to end.
Me too.
It's not like I wanna grow up, but...
I don't wanna be a kid forever.
There are probably lots of things I wanna do.
I hope I'll still have next year and the year after.
We'll have entrance exams next year.
I'm dreading them!
At the very least, I wanna do the festival.
Come and see our play.
Yeah, I'll be there, definitely.
By the way!
This is just something I heard,
you know, like a rumor.
What?
You often visit the home of a university student.
Yeah, I often do.
We get on well.
He's my brother.
Your brother?
He lives on his own now.
Oh, I see.
Look.
Yeah, that's him!
Thought you said you'd just heard a rumor.
Right...
Whatever.
I borrow manga from him.
-What a relief! -How come?
Well, I wouldn't be surprised
if you were seeing a university student.
What kind of girl do you think I am?
No, for real.
I'm still just a kid.
A university student? No way.
Really?
Anyway, he isn't my boyfriend.
I see.
You're more likely to be seeing someone older.
Me? No way!
Older or younger,
you know, I'm not into that kind of...
So, you know...
What?
Huh?
Another ghost!
A ghost?
A gho...
Let's go back.
They'll melt.
You've read the script?
-Yeah? -Well?
Everyone likes it.
-Yeah, it's good. -Right?
It's good, but...
the bit you were so keen on's been cut out.
Keen?
Akane Shinjo.
I gave up on that.
But you wanted to tell everyone.
But nobody got it.
We put Yomogi, Rex, and the others in.
That's more than enough.
It's better with more characters.
I'm not saying it's bad,
but it's kind of lost its focus.
With fiction, a little chaos makes it more fun.
Are you bothered about the script?
You're Yomogi, right?
It's drifted away from what Rikka wanted to do.
Utsumi's happy with it, though.
Sorry. We just wanted to help,
but maybe we messed it up.
Did the bit about you guys really happen?
The revived mummy.
riding in a robot,
and getting a girlfriend.
Don't summarize it like that.
Did I say it wrong?
No, it's all true.
Why don't you confess to her already?
Her? Who?
Sorry about this.
Having to go shopping with me.
We don't mind.
Hello...
Quick! Come on, Koyomi!
Okay.
Hokkaido Food Fair
ã‚¢ã‚¹ãƒ‘ãƒ©ã‚¬Hokkaido food fair?
ã‚¢ã‚¹ãƒ‘ãƒ©ã‚¬
Welcome to the Hokkaido Fair!
Fresh seafood from the north!
Fabulous meat,stupendous sweets, and more!
Enjoy everythingHokkaido has to offer!
How about it?
Is that you, Gauma?
Princess Hime.
What are you doing here?
I'm here for the Hokkaido Fair.
That's not what I mean.
Why are you alive in this era?
I never imagined that we'd meet again.
Gauma!
Good to see you, after 5000 years!
Hey, don't be so gloomy!
Gloomy? Am I really so gloomy?
The gloomiest!
But that's...
See? Completely dark!
Don't just look to the past.
See the future.
I will! I wanna see the future!
Well done.
Go on, buy one.
A king crab direct from Hokkaido.
Thank you, I will. And...
I'd like a receipt, please.
Okay
Which name?
Neon Genesis Junior High Students.
Just Gauma is fine.
Okay.
Gauma
This takes me back.
We often ate crab together, didn't we?
Gauma.
Yeah?
There are three things people have to abide by.
Promises, love, and...
Best-by dates!
Okay.
Who's she?
I think it's someone he always wanted to meet.
She lives in a world he can't access.
Oh, she's on TV?
The Gridman Story
Is this your script?
That's an old version.
We aren't gonna use it.
Oh, the one we wrote before the finals.
Seems like such a long time ago.
The finals are over?
Huh? They finished yesterday.
-I feel so free now! -Me too.
-Math is really tough. -Right.
Everyone can ask you something?
What?
You said you'd see how things went.
So what?
If the Big Crunch continues,
the world will end, won't it?
It's just a theory.
Yeah, the world's at peace.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
But we can't get home.
But we're having fun here.
We're a burden.
I don't mind you staying.
It's fun with more people around.
Who the heck is this!?
Dad, don't just barge in here.
Oh, excuse me.
Nice to meet you. I'm Rikka's father.
It's just a costume!
It'd be scary if he was really on fire.
Sorry for scaring you like that.
What else did you expect?
I'm so sorry!
It's a great costume, isn't it?
Not hot at all.
The Gridman Story
Welcome
Huh? This is weird!
That sounds cool.
A nice, happy ending.
A little chaos makes it more fun.
A happy ending? This is too much!
The one we wrote before the finals.
I haven't taken my finals!
Maybe it's someone else's doing.
Who is that someone?
Is it Akane Shinjo?
I gave up on that.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
That's the bitI really want to get across!
At the very least, I wanna do the festival.
And I wanna confessing with Rikka!
It doesn't hurt.
Yuta! Are you alright?
It doesn't hurt.
What?
Nothing hurts me.
From that moment on, I don't think I've felt pain.
You don't feel pain?
It's really weird!
What is?
The whole world's gone weird!
Not just the Big Crunch.
It's something else!
What the heck!?
You can see it too?
Hibiki.
I'll fight it.
Yuta, do the Access Flash.
Access Flash!
Be careful, Yuta!
He went into the computer!
-You saw it? -I'm scared.
Where's Yomogi?
This is Gridman?
Yuta and Gridman can't fight
unless they merge together.
Grid Beam!
Captain, Gridman's in trouble!
Where's Dynazenon?
Yomogi isn't here, so I'll fight instead!
But Dynazenon is...
Look, the support team's arrived.
I'm through the gateway.
Pasaroute now closing.
No hull damage.
You're up, Knight.
Go help Gridman!
What's that?
It's Anti, isn't it?
Yeah, it's Gridknight!
Thank you. You always come and save me.
I can't let you be defeated.
Defeating you is my destiny.
He always turns up late.
Captain, Goldburn's here too!
Yes.
Let's go back Gridknight up!
Access Code:
-Gridman Calibur! -Battle Truck Max!
-Buster Borr! -Sky Vitter!
Those guys as well!
Access Code: Dynarex!
What's going on?
The captain too!?
The Junk's aligned,
We're all ready for action.
Everyone? It's been quite a while!
Gridman's energy is limited.
No time to fool around.
So let's merge, and clean this up!
We're all ready, Chief!
Let's combine our powers
and defeat that kaiju!
Yes, sir.
Super Combined Superman...
Super Combined Dragon King...
Full Power Gridman!
Kaiser Gridknight!
Gridknight has combined,
just like Gridman!
Gauma himself has become Dynarex.
This must be the power of Goldburn and everyone!
Kaiser Knight Double Circular!
Dynamic Fire!
All guns on the kaiju! Fire!
Something's broken.
No, I think it's OK.
Yeah, it's fine.
We haven't lost yet!
Yeah, Gridman never stops fighting!
That's right!
Burst Missile Kick!
Take this!
I'll use your power!
Wield it big-time!
Kaiser Gridknight!
In sync with me, Gridman!
Get him together!
Grid Double Power Finish!
Yeah!
I knew they could do it!
They won!
Yes!
What's that?
Gridknight?
What!?
Why are there two Knights?
Chise...
Yuta, are you alright?
Yeah.
They've all gone.
-What's going on? -I'll tell you.
Anti!
It's alright, isn't it?
Yume!
You must save Gridman, Yuta Hibiki.
Save Gridman? What are you saying?
Gridman caused this situation!
"Kamegasa Park"
Why were there two Gridknights?
And why did everyone disappear?
They didn't belong here.
Like I said, Gridman is the cause.
Yeah, Gridman summoned up all those universes.
Gridman Universe is the cause.
Gridman Universe?
The universe Gridman created?
Originally, Gridman was a being without substance.
Humanity created Gridman's form.
Through his dealings with humanity,
he may have gained the powerto create.
Gridman can create a universe?
Should he have that power?
At some point, this universe got swallowed up by Gridman.
But Gridman was here.
What I defeated was Gridman's consciousness in the world.
Gridman has lost his form,
and has merged with this universe.
And the other universes he created have gathered in this city.
It isn't a dimensional Big Crunch.
Gridman's merging power has expanded
and made the multiverse overlap.
I forced his consciousnessto shut down,
so they all disappeared.
And hopefully the city has been reset.
But Yomogi's still here.
During the reset, we were together.
We didn't get sucked into the calamity thanks to this.
It was left behind when I did the Access Flash once.
You must have a strong connection with kaiju.
But Yume and the others disappearing
means that our world...
was nothing but a creation of Gridman.
Including our existence.
It's the same for us.
Apparently, our world was createdby Akane Shinjo.
What?
And you accepted that?
I still don't really get it.
I've been called an artificial creature.
Who cares if we're artificial?
Yeah, you guys don't just believe in real things.
Rumors, myths, nation states human connections.
All the formless-things you guys believe in.
Believing fictions.you've expanded your community...
and kept on evolving here.
You're the only species withthe power to believe fabrications.
I don't know where the universe came from,
or what's real or not,
but I want to choose my own destiny!
In that case,
you're the same as us.
But I can't believe Gridman would bring about this situation.
He probably didn't intend to.
Yeah, someone has used Gridman
to seal the universe inside Gridman.
Probably to gain great power.
Who would do that?
We need to find out.
The kaiju were created out of Gridman's memories,
in order to make this universe more chaotic.
Closing off the universe increases its entropy.
Maybe that's why everything got so chaotic.
Just like the script we wrote?
But we've been inside Gridman so long,
we didn't realize.
Yuta Hibiki, the traces of Gridman left inside of you...
enabled you to notice.
I noticed that I've felt no pain
ever since that volleyball hit me.
Volleyball?
I tried to contact you again and again,
but the link kept getting rectified.
Probably due to the effects of the Fixer Beam.
But thanks to your strong will, we could get through.
My will?
To ask Rikka to...
Hey, that's...
-Another kaiju! -Again!?
It's approaching us!
Because we're irregularities.
-Knight! -Okay.
If we get killed, you can't save Gridman!
We need to find whoever's using Gridman!
We'll escape to the sky!
You can fly?
No other choice!
They're after us!
As long as the enemy's outside Gridman Universe,
we can't attack!
So we can't do anything?
That's not true.
There's a way to save Gridman!
Ow!
It really hurts.
I'm grateful to feel pain!
Are you all alright?
Darn, we're surrounded.
All we can do is run?
You said there was a way we could save Gridman, right?
-Yeah. -Tell us!
Yuta Hibiki.
Do the Access Flash,
and you'll merge with Gridman Universe.
If you can bring him back into a single form,
we can win!
Alright, I'll try!
But you yourself will be lost.
There's no way a single human being like you...
can merge with an infinite Gridman
and remain as you are.
You won't be Yuta anymore!
But...
I'll do it.
I'm the only one who can!
Yuta.
Head to the Junk!
I wish I could!
Darn, out of time!
Knight, are you alright?
Yeah, but my power is spent.
It's flashing, and ringing.
Gridman's calling me.
He's waiting for me!
Sorry, Yume! No other choice!
Instance Domination!
Yomogi!
What are you doing?
He's subordinating the kaiju to himself!
To control the kaiju!?
Now's your chance, Yuta!
Go to Gridman!
Leave this to me!
Take care of everyone, Yomogi!
Yuta!
Why didn't he even hesitate?
You will not pass!
Don't push yourself so hard!
But...
Are you alright?
Wanna ride?
That's enough!
All we can do is run, now.
Shun Junk Shop
Thank you very much.
Will you make it?
-I think so. -Good.
In the nick of time.
See you.
Thank you!
Closed? No way!
What shall I do? Why now?
What are you doing?
Who are you?
-What? -I'll explain later!
He's weird.
It's fine. He's weird in a good way.
Gridman, you're calling me, right?
Access Fla...
Huh?
What the heck? Am I dead?
What is this?
You aren't dead.
You're outside of the world.
You're now pure consciousness,
so I had you drop by.
Who are you?
Never mind who I am.
So...
Look.
You see?
The universe has taken the form of Gridman.
That's Gridman Universe?
It's fragile, and could break up at any moment.
Taking this formis Gridman's distress signal.
To show that he's here.
So that we....
No.
So that you can find him.
That's why he's in this form.
Your strong will can reconstruct Gridman
before he breaks apart.
Once you've merged with him,
I'll be able to free him.
I'll have to use the dangerous thing in his hand,
but it should be OK.
Thank you, Akane Shinjo.
But why are you helping us?
Because you're almighty?
No,
I just want to help my friends, including you.
Where are you?
Where are you, Gridman?
Yuta.
Gridman.
Yuta, you came.
Yeah, I'm here.
I wanted to apologize to you.
I had no other choice,
but by merging with you.
I stole your precious time.
After the battle with Alexis,
I may have been used by a mysterious being.
My sense of guilt...
toward you was the cause.
I'm sorry, Yuta.
No need to apologize.
I don't care that I lost my memory.
Without your help.
Akane might have not been saved.
So I'm grateful to you.
Yuta.
Thanks for protecting our world.
Thanks for fighting with me.
Now it's our turn to save you!
And the two months of my life that you lived...
were a lot of fun, right?
Yeah. A lot of fun!
So it's no problem!
Looks like the Access Flash succeeded.
Now it's my turn.
Instance Domination.
Alexis,
this time, I'm gonna use you!
I'm powerless against you.
But I've been bored recently,
so do as you please.
Never imagined that you'd return to this world.
But this time it isn't for myself.
lowe everyone!
-Huh? -We're being attacked?
It seems our actions are somewhat inconvenient.
I guessthat's the villain of this piece.
You've found me, huh?
I won't let you interfere!
No, we're gonna interfere!
A collective source of kaiju.
A chaos-bringer in physical form.
A supplementary phenomenon of humanity's overproduction of kaiju.
So l have many causes too.
But a phenomenon shouldn't be conscious!
It only seems to be conscious.
It's just a replica of human emotion.
Gridman brings order.
This guy brings the opposite.
An evil being who used Gridmanto accelerate the chaos!
I captured Gridman to upset the balance
and destroy everything!
You won't get away with it.
Give them their universe back, along with Gridman!
Darn!
Now Gridman is free!
What the heck is going on?
It looks like this universe is returning into the form of Gridman.
Is that even possible?
It sure is!
Because they're a bit weird.
Gridman is mine!
Grid Beam!
There's no way to escape.
Alexis Kerib?
Why?
No, it's alright.
He's being controlled from another dimension.
I bet Akane Shinjo's doing it.
Akane?
Gridman created these kaiju, so they're really strong!
I can't take much more!
Could you give me a hand?
Grid Beam!
-That's... -Gridman!
You've taken back your original form, Gridman!
Yeah, that's right.
Where's Hibiki?
I'm right here too!
This form of Gridman is what we all created!
I missed you, Gridman.
Gridman is mine!
This is the final boss?
Give Gridman back to me!
Nobody owns Gridman!
Nobody owns this universe either!
I won't let you have it!
This is gonna take some time to clean up!
Darn!
If your hands aren't enough, use what's in your head.
Instance Abreaction!
Giving substance to the universe inside Gridman!
Yes, Akane, that's right.
Something Beam!
-That's Rex! -Gauma!
Yomogi!
Yume!
Welcome back, Yomogi!
That's my line!
But when did things get so messed up?
What should we do?
There's only one thing we can do!
That's right, Koyomi!
Combine Dragon!
Yeah, all together now!
Dynazenon Battle Go!
Akane Shinjo and Alexis Kerib...
have summoned Dynazenon out of Gridman,
and so now we must be all in sync.
That was uncalled for!
Let me join in too!
Battleship Armed!
Sounderous Battle Mode!
Get in, you two.
This is way too weird!
Sounderous Full Burst!
Gridknight Wild Circular!
We're late to the party, but let's go!
Powered Zenon Battle Go!
This is really amazing!
Of course! We have a divine...
No, a great friend on our side!
Their attacks aren't working!
Gridman's memories are my memories too!
I can read your each and every move!
He knows what we're gonna do!
So let's use a new technique!
That's right!
Goldburn!
A new power for the captain, Gridman, and everyone!
Yeah, we'll give you new strength!
Gridman!
What are you doing?
How do you like my new hands?
And I've got new legs too!
New wings!
And new weapons too!
All power to Gridman!
Gridman with all the new powers combined!
Super Dragon King Combined Superman! Rogue Kaiser Gridman!
Super Dragon King Combined Superman!Rogue Kaiser Gridman!
What the heck is this technique?
You've nowhere to run to!
-I'll use a new technique too! -Okay!
Specially for you!
Super Combined Knight! Full Power Gridknight!
Explosive Full Power Light Wave Missile!
Kaiser Power Charge!
Dynamic Big Blade!
Rogue Kaiser Power Finish!
Wow! Defeated by everyone's power!
I knew Gridman could do it.
It ain't over yet!
What!?
He caught me off-guard!
You'll merge with me!
Akane, looks like I'm finished!
Alexis!
He's assimilated Alexis Kerib!
Unlimited life, unlimited energy.
As much power as I need!
Alexis Kerib!
Huh!?
What can we do?
Use the Fixer Beam.
The Fixer Beam?
But it's your healing power!
Everyone, direct your destructive beams at him.
My healing power with all your destructive power.
We'll hit him with two opposing forces at once!
But why?
That's an order!
No time for doubts!
Split up!
Why bother? It's a waste of time!
Yuta, look out!
Hibiki!
Believe in Gridman!
Gridman.
Melodic Blaster!
Full Power Grid Rex Roar!
Grid Hyper Fixer Beam!
My body's being destroyed!
No, it's being healed!
No, it's being destroyed again!
What's going on?
Destruction and healing in infinitely close proximity.
We're making the matter cycle flicker.
So even if our foe has unlimited energy.
as long as his body is matter,
it can be weakened!
Oh, I see!
You'll never defeat me!
We've merged now,
so let's stay together!
Let go!
Darn you!
Go, go. Gridknight!
Out of my way!
What can you do, you wannabe Gridman?
I can make Gridman win!
Now, Gridman!
Gridman, who the heck are you?
You have the power to both destroy and heal
but you're weak, and can do nothing on your own.
That's why I have everyone by my side.
Yuta is with me.
Yes, I'm weak.
That's who I am!
Hey, we're falling.
Change formation.
Well done, Gridknight!
You're so high-maintenance.
This light's healing the world!
This is the power of Gridman.
I'm no match for him.
That's...
Alexis Kerib.
So he's still alive.
He has unlimited life.
But he looks different.
Having a limited life is fun, isn't it?
If I'd realized sooner,
my life wouldn't have been so tedious.
Alexis has crumbled away.
No way!
You can't believe a word of what he says.
So he'll never die?
We'll find him, and seal him up again.
Okay.
Even if he comes back, we'll be alright.
We have Gridman and everyone.
So many allies.
Long time no see.
You're still going strong.
Thank you for saving our world.
I owe you. I'm indebted to you.
I always used to hate you.
So I did terrible things to you.
I don't feel that way.
I'm grateful to you.
What for?
You gave me life.
And because I'm alive, I've seen so many things.
Spectacular sights, with my own eyes.
Stop staring.
Akane Shinjo.
Thank you very much.
Rikka, don't you have anything to say to Shinjo?
No
Not at all?
If I started,
it'd all come out.
No need to speak.
We're going back to our own world!
See you when the universe needs us again!
That won't be for a long while!
See you, Yomogi!
Yeah!
Hope it goes well for you two!
They ain't in relationship yet!
Huh? But they must be!
Hurry up and go!
Forget all that!
I'll escort them home.
Captain, take care of Goldburn for me.
Sure.
You take care too, Chise.
Gauma,
if I can't find a job, please take me on.
Why would I take on someone as useless as you?
Good luck!
Oh yeah.
Give this to Yomogi's mom for me.
I owe her.
Okay.
Till we meet again.
All the best, Gauma.
This time, we could say farewell.
A proper farewell.
Go on, get that crab to her while it's still fresh!
Listen, Yomogi.
There are three things people have to abide by.
Promises, love, and...
Best-by dates!
I'll abide by them!
Gauma
Gauma,
how long are you gonna drag this out,
you fool?
Are you crying. Gauma?
I'm not crying, and I'm not Gauma.
I'm Rex, of the Neon Genesis Junior High Students!
Thinking about the crab?
Let's eat it together.
But it's for your family.
That's why we should eat it together.
I didn't want to drag you guys into any more battles.
I didn't want to threatenyour everyday lives.
But you...
We don't mind.
Let's stay involved, Gridman.
I mean, we're...
The Gridman Alliance?
Let me say it!
You'll keep the Acceptor on?
Of course! Call us whenever you need us.
And we'll call you whenever we need you.
Yeah, you can depend on me.
And I'll depend on you.
Till next time, Gridman!
See you.
See you, Gridman.
Thank you, my friends.
You know what?
What?
I wanna rewrite the script again.
Me too.
This time it's gonna be great!
Akane!
"Water is a precious resource. Please keep the river clean."
School Festival
"Escape from the Killer Vacuum Cleaner!"
Calligraphy Club Performance
"Wait for the twist in the last minute!"
Give Gridman back to me!
Nobody owns Gridman!
Nobody owns this universe either!
I won't let you have it!
No problem! I'll just use my Fixer Beam!
Are you alright?
I'm fine!
Such a weak punch is nothing to me!
Really?
Alright, how about... Erm...
"Class 2F presents Gridman Universe"
Now it's time for the 12th grade group.
I watched the play.
How was it?
It was crazy.
Yeah.
But really funny.
That's great.
Utsumi.
See you later.
Go for it.
Gridman, just give me a moment.
Can I have a word?
Right now?
Nice and cool outside.
Yeah.
You came to see our play.
Yeah, everyone loved it.
But I don't think they got what I was trying to say.
But they all laughed.
So it was worth it, I guess.
When I wrote down in the script
what had actually happened,
I understood myself,
like, the ways I've changed.
What ways?
Well...
And writing about Gridman...
made me understand you a bit more than before.
I've kept on missing my chances.
It's my own fault.
Chances?
But...
I never minded,
because you and me were still close.
But today is different.
I've liked you ever since 10th grade.
Now you tell me?
Now?
Sorry...
But...
But I'm glad it took you so long.
It gave me time to get to like you.
Please, will you go out with me.
Yes.
Like the taste?
It's not bad.
