The Overlords, beings at a higher state of evolution.
Kouta hopes they will be humanity's salvation, but…
Wait!
Kouta, we have to talk.
Kouta… something's weird about you lately.
N-no…
I, I mean… not at all.
You're being weird.
You're hiding something from me.
I'm totally not!
Was that all you wanted to talk about?
Hey, my sister's curry is gonna get cold.
Later!
Is it about Yuuya?
Tell me, Kouta.
I have a right to know too.
A creature that eats a Helheim fruit turns into an Inves.
That's what happened to Hase.
By eating a fruit?
And so did Yuuya.
So…
Yuuya… turned into an Inves?
But…
What happened to him?
Yuuya…
I… I killed him…
How?
I didn't know!
That that Inves was Yuuya!
But that doesn't change what I did!
I'm sorry, Mai!
I have no right to be anywhere near you guys!
Mai… I'm so sorry…
When… did you find out?
I…
Pretty recently.
I went to the forest to look for him…
And that's when…
I see…
It must have been hard for you, Kouta.
What?
Trying to bear such a burden all by yourself.
I won't let you do this alone anymore.
You… don't have to suffer alone.
Mai…
I'm sorry… truly…
The completion of the Driver's mass production is approaching our goal.
We should now be able to withstand Helheim's conditions.
And the production line?
Our target is one billion before Helheim spreads across the planet…
Then we're on track.
We should get moving on culling the population down to that billion.
Indeed.
We're past the point of no return.
This is all for Project Ark, the salvation of the human race.
It must be hard for you, brother.
Not at all. It is the sin I must bear.
Abandoning it is not an option.
Mitsuzane… those with special talent or status also have a certain duty.
It's known as noblesse oblige.
At times, it forces us to stain our own hands.
That time will come sooner or later for you.
Be prepared.
Prepared…
Got it, move... wow...
Don't say no, just live more!
It's survival, you gotta move
When life's in a warring state
Who's got the strength to win
Now that all the locks are open?
Don't say no, just live more!
Where will you find...
Don't say no, just live more!
And how will you use...
The forbidden fruit?
The wind of the moment has its own message to share
It's blowin' stronger and stronger till it reaches you
Your dreams and future may seem so far away...
When you've got all you can out of life, that's when you can stop
But don't let life get you down
Keep your head held high
Wherever you may go
Never compromise yourself
Follow the path you believe in, and just live more!
Don't say no, just live more!
The end of the world?
You may not believe me, but it's true.

Yggdrasill knew and hid it from us.
Why did you tell them, Kouta?
Hey, Mitchy.
You knew about this too?
I heard from Kouta…
But I couldn't tell anybody.
I'm sorry.
We have to tell the whole city right now!
That's right!
Something nice happen to you, Kouta?
Anything?
Like what?
You've just been looking down lately.
Yeah.
But today, you're all smiles.
So happy.
Really?
Yep. Right, Iyo?
Creepy.
What?
Creepy?
Chucky? What's up?
Kouta? Mai's gathering people to tell them what's going on.
I've got a bad feeling. Can you come to the stage?
What's going on?
Why aren't they dancing?
They say they've got important news.
Please listen to me.
This city is in danger.
I need to explain what's happening, so please, stay and listen.
I just wanted Mai to keep smiling…
How did this happen?
We'll be handing out flyers! Take one!
Please!
So it was the Beat Riders!
Liars!
No! That's not true!
Mai, run!
But!
Of all the rotten times…
Mitchy!

Is anyone hurt?
I'm okay…
But…
Kouta…
All of this is your fault!
You're the one dragging Mai into everything!
Kouta!
You've made Mai sad. You have no right to act like a hero!
Mitchy!
What's your problem, Mitchy?
This isn't about Kouta!
Go cool off!
Hold up!
Mai, you calm down too!
Mitchy was just worried about you!
Sorry…
The Overlords are impressively powerful.
I'd love to gather more data, but…
Kumon Kaito just doesn't make the cut.
I'm afraid we're finished with him.
But I can't help but feel like… there's something more hidden in him.
Oh?
Why don't we give him just one more chance?
Curious.
It's… not your habit to concern yourself with someone else.
Well then.
Since you insist, I'll set up one last plot.
Now, all we need is a way to find the Overlords…
I have one that should do.
You're looking for the Overlords, right?
Relax. I haven't told my brother.
Well, well.
It looks like we've been laid bare.
You're a cunning one, aren't you.
So, what's your idea?
First, my terms.
If I tell you, you follow my plan.
Pushing yourself again?
To gain power, one must be prepared to take risks.
If I wasn't, I would have no right to challenge the Overlords.
Good, because this one is going to be quite risky.
A gift from Professor Ryoma.
Fine.
I'll see the power of his prized Genesis Driver for myself.
Kaito!
Oh, you.
Who's the lady?
Someone from Yggdrasill.
Yggdrasill?
The ones hiding Helheim from us?
The same.
Yggdrasill is culling humanity in preparation for the day of judgment.
Only those they select will survive.
You know that and you're still working with them?
It doesn't matter to me.
Weaklings who can't even defend themselves aren't worth my attention.
But aren't they taking advantage of you?
Probably.
Wh…
But I'm using them in turn.
While those weaklings cower from the oncoming storm, I'll cull them myself.
You have gained your own power.
Win your own future with your own actions.
Mitchy…
I'm sorry about Mai.
Well, what's done is done.
Right now, we should focus on finding the Overlords.
You're right.
And that Lockseed of yours is our only chance.
Right!
Well, here we go.

Right.

Target coordinates are point C8.
Repeat…
Move to point C8!
How'd he find out?
Oh well.
Now I can pay him back.
I'll put on a show.
That's your chance.
Look out!
Mitchy!
This is as far as you go!
You again.
Put up a fight this time.

But…
I'll be fine.
Okay…
So he beat you.
Oh well.
I'll handle him from here.
Well, well…
You've certainly changed too.
After the break, the showdown with the Overlords!
This belt is amazing…
A league apart from the Sengoku Driver!
Impertinent!

Heh. You've learned our language well.

What are you two fighting for?
We should talk things out–
You wish to die with him?
Control your pointless blather!
Wait!
Hey, where'd you get that belt?
None of your business!
Fall back, Demushu. Lest we risk angering Lord Roshuo..
You too, Redyue?!
Wha…
Wait!
Hey, wait up!
Kaito!
What are you pissing them off for?
We've gotta talk to them!
Don't be stupid!
Nothing was ever settled by talking.
Just look at the two of us!
This is nothing like our disagreements!
The fate of humanity is at stake here!
That's not my problem.
The heck it's not!
- Kazuraba Kouta…
You've made Mai sad. You have no right to act like a hero!
Mitchy!
If he never came back...
You've always been a thorn in my side!
I should put you away for good right here!
Well, if you keep making things harder…
Then I know what I should do!

Go, Kazuraba! Go after him!
