EXCEED CHARGE

Can you feel this ever-expanding universe?

Have you heard the story of this lonely star?

Tell me the truth, the future I believed in...

Is it really falling apart?

This sadness we feel, it's never-ending

Where can we flee,
when there is no place left to go?

Somewhere in the depths of all our hearts...

A voice yells out: "It's time to go!"

To fight and defend once more

The time to be strong has always been right now

There's no escape from this dilemma...
no matter how far we run

The end JustiFaiz the means!

You really don't feel anything
wrong with your body, Kusaka?

Yeah, I feel fine.

Man!

What a relief!
That means you can use the Kaixa belt.

Everyone who's transformed
with it has been... well...

Nishida?

The Kaixa belt?

What's really going on here?

And what was that monster?

I mean, I was just copying
you when I transformed.

Well, it looks like this belt
was given to us by our father.

Right now, these are the only two we have.

The one Takumi transformed
with was the Faiz belt,

while the one you used was the Kaixa belt.

I think our father wants us to use the
belts' power to defeat the Orphnochs.

But we still don't know what
the Orphnochs really want.

Orphnochs...

Kusaka?

Sorry, this is all just a bit of a shock.

Can I ask you something?

Go for it.

You didn't come to the reunion, right?

But, look at this.

This is a card that everyone signed at
the reunion, and your name is on it.

Beats me.

Maybe someone's idea of a joke.

A joke, then?

It looks like we're back at square one again.

And we're still trying to make out what
Mr. Masuda was trying to say.

What are you talking about?

Apparently, something
happened to us at the reunion,

and none of us can remember what it was.

That day...

The day of the reunion...

On that day...

All of you...

Mr. Masuda!

And where is he now?

Dead. k*lled by an Orphnoch.

In any case, take care of the Kaixa Gear.

We'd like you to fight the Orphnochs.

Rina and I will investigate the reunion.

But how?

We weren't able to contact
the others from Ryusei Academy.

We'll have to track them down
and find out what they've been up to.

Chaco.

Chaco.

So this is your house, Mari?

Yeah. You wanna come in for a bit?

This is Keitaro's house!

You can't just invite whoever you want.

It's fine.
Right, Keitaro?

Of course.
There's still a lot for us to discuss.

I'm still in shock.

You've all been fighting so hard,
and I had no idea.

Forgive me.

There's no need for you to apologize.

I've made up my mind.

I'll fight alongside you, as Kaixa.

What?!

I can't stand by while those
monsters k*ll innocent people.

You sure?!

Yeah.

Isn't this great, Takkun?
You've got yourself an ally now!

I don't care as long as
he stays out of my way.

I would've finished that last guy
off if you hadn't jumped in.

Talk about reckless!

What's with the attitude?

Everything worked out, didn't it?

No, it's as he said.

What was your name again...?

Inui Takumi!
But just Takkun is fine!

No, it's not!

Inui, then?

Please critique me however you see fit,
as the more experienced fighter.

In any case,
I look forward to working with you.

Come on. Shake his hand!

I don't wanna.

What's with you and always
wiping your hands, anyway?

Are they greasy or something?

Takkun, that has nothing to do with anything!

- And another thing...

I've got a score to settle with him.

I almost got hit by a tennis ball,

I stepped in horse crap,

and I got stabbed in fencing.

Oh, stop it.
You're such a child.

Cut it out and come with me for a bit.

- What is it?

- Where are you—
- Mari, you stay here..

- What are you doing?
- Just come on!

What is it?!

Just leave those two alone.

The two of them are childhood friends.

They probably have a lot of catching up to do.

Sorry about him.

Takumi's a good guy,
he just doesn't show it.

I'm sure he is,
because he's your friend.

More importantly, I...

What?

Before, when I transformed...

I did it for you.

What do you mean?

This picture...

It's a photo of you.

From back at the Ryusei Academy.

Are you alright, Kusaka?

Back then, you were always the one saving me.

But now, I want to be the one saving you.

I'll do everything I can to protect you.

I think they're having a nice talk.

What are you doing, Takkun?

Scratching my itchy butt.

Welcome, Murakami, Takuma.

A martini without olives.

Was Kitazaki here?

Yes, for a while.

He had a drink and left just
before you walked in.

Destroying everything he touches.

That's Kitazaki for you.

Indeed.

More importantly,
I'm really quite surprised, Mr. J.

That a man, such as yourself,
could lose two lives.

And now you're down to only one.

Truly a do-or-die situation, as they say.

Mr. J.

Continue your attempts at retrieving the belts.

As for Takuma and Kageyama,
I'll need one of you for a different task.

Disposing of a traitorous Orphnoch.

We'll decide with a coin flip.

Either I go... or you.

Tails.

Please do your best.

Do consider the consequences.

If you were to die...

What will happen to our little friend here?

He relies on you for quite a bit.

How would he survive if your weren't around?

Chaco...

What do you mean?

I feel like maybe I'm forcing
my life decisions onto you two.

Smart Brain will probably target
Orphnochs that refuse to k*ll humans.

If you stay with me,
then they'll probably target you, too.

I don't plan to change my decision, of course.

Attacking innocent people...
I just can't do it.

But, if you two want to join Smart Brain,

then I don't have any right to stop you.

I want you both to make your own
decisions on how you want to proceed.

Without my influence.

I...

I will stay with you, Kiba.

I don't know what else to do.

Of course. I knew there was
no way you would attack anyone.

What about you, Kaido?

Damn, you talk a lot.

I don't care, so do what you want.

But this is your problem, too.

That-is-why...

I told you before!
I'm going to live as a human!

When it comes time for a human to die, they die.

Until then... with all my heart...

I'll be growing the flowers of love!

Well then, that's all.

Hold on, will you?!
I'm not done talking yet!

Mari, I need you to take care
of the Saito district deliveries.

You got it!

Yo!

You.

Jeez, I'm trying to help you here!
I don't have time for this.

Here, which shirt is it?

Red? Blue?

Hurry up and answer!

...Red.

Thank—

Thanks for the other day.
I... to you... want to thank you...

Don't worry about it.
Sorry, I'm in a hurry.

W-W-Wait!
Can we get some tea or something?

Just tea! A little bit of tea!
Come on, please!

Just some damn teeeaaa!

Jeez, give it a rest already!

Now, pay attention!

Okay.

Turn right!

Got it.

- Hop on the bike.
- Okay!

Put it in gear!

In gear!

Now floor it.

With pleasure!

...Hey, wait a second.

Man, why do I keep listening
to everything she says?

Could this be... love?

The power of love?

The power of LOOOOOVE!

Welcome.

You.

Is it just you?

Yeah, just me.

I'm here as a customer today.
You think you can handle these for me?

You hate me, don't you?

The feeling is mutual, I bet.

No, I don't feel that way at all.

Don't try to deny it.
That's what really pisses me off about you.

The two of us aren't buddies, okay?

What's so funny?

You've got no filter at all.
I think I'm going to like you.

More importantly...

What are you hiding?

What are you talking—

- Don't play dumb.

I'm talking about your signature on that card.

If you didn't attend the reunion,
then why was your name on it?

Your face changed when you saw it.

What are you hiding?

What are you afraid of?

Shut your mouth.

What?

Don't talk to me like you know me.

What would you know about me?!

Oh! Kusaka, you came?

Yeah, I just came to drop of some clothes.

Oh, you're a customer then!

Thank you very much.

It's not much, but would you
like to join us for lunch today?

Please.

Time to eat!

Can I ask something?

How come his is the only one like that?

Oh, don't mind him.
It's just because he has a tender tongue.

...And because he's a child.

Quit screwing around!
How the hell am I suppose to eat this?!

You're not half bad.

You bet I'm not!

Betcha didn't know?

Proper ironing makes a proper man.

Could I give it a whirl?

Whoa! That's amazing!

You look like a pro!

Well, I used to do this part-time a while back.

Say, Kusaka,
you wanna stay here with us?

We could all live together, then!

You can't be serious?!

What's wrong with it?
We're fighting the Orphnochs together anyway.

This'll just make things more easy.

And you can help around the store, too!

What do you think, Mari?!

I'm completely okay with it.

Give me that!

You're too gentle with your wrists!

Where could Kaido have disappeared to?

It looks like he's fallen in love now.

It's not you though, is it?

You ask very cruel questions,
you know that, Kiba?

...Sorry.

Kusaka's amazing, isn't he?

He's captain of the fencing,
horseback riding and tennis club.

And he's great at ironing!
What can't he do?

And I'm terrible at everything, huh.

I didn't say that!
You've got your own good traits!

Really? Like what?

Well...

Could you let me sleep on it?

What do you mean, "sleep on it"?

That guy's still alive?!

What's your problem, pal?

Kaido Naoya.

Your treachery has let down
the president of Smart Brain.

I'm here to punish you for it.

Wait...

Are you an Orphnoch?!

Indeed.

But with you as my opponent,
I wonder if transforming is even necessary.

You see, when you make the Orphnoch
power completely your own,

you can then use those abilities
even when in human form.

Mari? Get Kusaka!

Quickly!

Kaido!

Oh? How perfect.

I assume you're Kiba Yuji?

You too...

are a traitor!

Stop...

I don't need your help.

Is that so?

In that case, I'll leave you to it.

No!

Takkun, why are you being so stubborn?!

Osada Yuka.

Step aside.

You are not on the Black List.

What?

EXCEED CHARGE

Takkun!

Open Your Eyes For The Next Faiz.

No... This is—!

This is Takumi we're talking about.
He's not gonna die that easily.

What if there are Orphnochs that
still have their human souls?

I'm right here by your side.

What would you do about them?
