An Overlord enters Zawame through a crack and begins to destroy all that he sees.
Kouta decides that they cannot come to terms and fights back in Triumphant Arms.
But thanks to Yggdrasill's interference, he's driven away with nearly fatal wounds.

WALNUT LEMON ENERGY
Let's do this!
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!

WALNUT AU LAIT
Damn you…
He's weakened!
We can drive him off!
Professor, what should we do?
This may be perfect.
Pathetic.
I'll come back to play with you later.
No!
I report, your majesty.
Speak.
Please allow me to go to Demushu's aid.
Hmmm…Very well.
What about him?
It seems he's mounted an attack on your world.
What?
Sid…
He would never have gotten us past Roshuo.
Let us try a different tactic.
Kouta…
We're back.
How's Kouta looking?
What about the city?
Apparently, the monsters retreated.
Kaito and Zack are looking for them.
But there was a lot of damage.
They're not like the Inves we know.
Any signal outside?
Nope. There's no reception anywhere.
And we can't get on the net either.
Yeah.
That means we can't call an ambulance.
What's that?
I heard it's Yggdrasill's thugs.
Looks like Yggdrasill's jig is up, huh?
Maybe they'll stop thinking the Beat Riders–
Stop thinking so small.
We've already given the enemy a chance to regroup.
And if its biology is anything like an Inves…
I'm hungry...
Food…
This is...!
Hahahaha… Such power!
Ugh…
Kouta! Are you okay?
Yeah…
Don't move!
You're badly hurt!
Where's Kaito?
What's going on outside?
The monster got away. They're looking for it.
Kouta, is that the…
Yeah, that's an Overlord.
To crush the weak in their defeat is the right of the victor.
The only measure of strength!
That is all I live for!
You see, Kazuraba?
Or do you still think we should try to talk to these things?
Doesn't anyone think of anything but hate?
Kouta!
We didn't have any reason to fight, but…
Kouta!
It's because they envy you.
Sagara?
Their sorrow at seeing their whole race go extinct,
and their regret at knowing there's no going back.
You wouldn't understand.
And you couldn't imagine their hatred.
Why do you want the Fruit of Knowledge?
I simply want the power of a king.
But of course, there's no point ruling over a wasteland like this.
What I want is a plaything of shimmering light and clamorous noise.
We Femushinmu were altered by Roshuo to survive the forest's invasion.
But your kind developed those strange devices instead.
Your culture developed on a different path from ours.
That's fascinating.
We piqued your curiosity, huh?
Demushu entered your world without a thought in his head.
But I've been considering going there for a long time.
I merely needed a pretense to give to Roshuo…
but now, one has appeared.
All my dreams are finally within my grasp. Heh heh…
What's your plan, then?
I can sense my servant beyond the dimensional veil.
And if I just have a door, it's simple to open it with the key.
Did you know that the Overlords were so awful?
Oh, Demushu is only the beginning.
All he does is wreck things. Relatively speaking, he's a kitten.
What?
You lied to me! You said the Overlords would save humanity!
Kouta!
Everything I said was the truth.
I remember saying the Overlords were in control of the forest, right?
You're the one who made all the assumptions about them.
Then, what was I supposed to do?
You still don't get it?
But you have all you need to know.
You really enjoy jerking me around, don't you?
The pain's gone.
What?
You want to save the world.
Only an Overlord has the power to do so.
So, there's really just one solution.
You have to become an Overlord yourself.
W...what?
That's…
What are you doing?
You have to pass the forest's trials and win the golden fruit.
Only one can obtain the power to rule.
And when you do, you'll control all the worlds.
After that, save or destroy, it's all up to you.
Rule? Me?
First, you have to beat everyone who wants the Fruit of Knowledge.
Are you willing to try?
If there's no other way…
No!
Kouta...
Mai.
I don't like this.
He's not telling you everything.
Well, I'm sure not just being altruistic.
All this just happens to be in my best interests too.
Professor, please respond! We can't hold out!
How could this happen...
What is that?
What's going on?!
The system's down! I can't contact HQ!
Professor, come in! Professor!
My apologies, Miss Minato! I leave the rest to you!
Yggdrasill's done for!
Jounouchi?!
Don't underestimate a pâtissier!
This is the moment I've been training for!

Don't just stand there.
Letting these children do all the fighting isn't very mature of you.
Why are you helping us now?
Good question...
Fighting for no pay is the very zenith of amateurism.
It's driven by childish stubbornness, little more.
Yet somehow...
It's endearing enough to be worth protecting.
Transform!

Oren!
No unnecessary movements!
Get back to back!
Stay calm, and watch each others' backs!
Their numbers are intimidating, but each is no threat.
Don't waste energy, hold the line, and turn the tide!
You're a surprisingly good tactician.
A sound plan. I shall accept your command!
Kaito Kumon...
His words have united them all...
I thought you'd be running after Ryouma Sengoku?
I've realized I have higher hopes for you than I ever did for him.
Now...
I'll destroy you all together!
After the break, the Five Riders vs. Demushu!
What are you trying to use Kouta for?
I just want to place the most potent power in the hands of an unknown quantity.
Having a wild card like you in the game is bound to make it more thrilling, don't you think?
Kouta, no!
Mai...
I need more power to win this.
Kaito and the others are out there fighting right now...
I can't let them do this alone!
You're doing more than enough already!
But I don't think it's going to be enough!
All I can think to do now...
The only thing that seems right...
Is to use this!
Kouta! Kouta!
I pray that you won't end up regretting this decision.
But if you want to become like the Overlords...
Then part of your fight will be considering what that means.
Come, face me!
