SIGN    Previously on Appmon:
[00:32] ---
    I'm Shinkai Haru,
    a first year in middle school.
[00:35] ---
    One day, I obtained an App Drive
[00:37] ---
    and met the search app monster Gatchmon,
    who has the power to get perfect search results!
[00:44] ---
    We've gotten mixed up in a few incidents
    with virus-infected Appmon since.
[00:49] ---
    The one behind it is the evil
    big boss AI, Leviathan,
[00:52] ---
    who lurks deep in the sea of the 'net.
[00:55] ---
    To unlock the power
    we need to fight him,
[00:58] ---
    we're searching for the seven
    Seven Code Appmon.

[01:12] haru
    Oh no!
[01:23] gatch
    That was close!
[01:24] gatch
    What if that had gotten
    on the App Drive?!
[01:27] haru
    Would it be that bad?
[01:29] gatch
    You gotta take better care of this thing!
[01:32] gatch
    Only the chosen few
    get to have App Drives!
[01:36] gatch
    And right now, that's you and only you!
[01:40] haru
    Really?

    Let's run our idol bag check!
[01:45] man
    Now, let's see what's
    in this popular idol's bag!
[01:48] ---
    Open!
[01:51] haru
    Was that...
[01:52] man
    A little cluttered, huh?
[01:55] haru
    That blue thing! It was
    an App Drive, wasn't it?
[01:57] haru
    There's another one!
[01:58] gatch

    In the real world, they take
    the form of Appmon chips,
[02:43] nar
    but an App Drive can give
    them physical form.
[02:49] nar
    And now,
[02:51] ---
    a terrible AI lurking deep in the
    dark web is beginning to stir.
[02:57] nar
    In the year 2045,

[05:10] gatch
    I can't stay scared forever, y'know.
[05:14] haru
    It's really not that cool.

[05:19] gatch
    She suddenly got an App Drive,
[05:21] ---
    got paired up with a buddy Appmon,
[05:23] gatch
    and was acknowledged
    as an App Drive user.
[05:26] haru
    You think?
[05:27] haru
    But Gatchmon,
[05:29] ---
    it sounds like you didn't know
    there was another user.
[05:32] haru
    That's weird, since
    you're a search Appmon.
[05:35] gatch
    S-Sometimes things
    aren't on the Internet!

    Thank goodness!
[19:09] eri
    Yeah!
[19:20] eri
    It's been about six months since
    I got the App Drive and met Dokamon.
[19:26] eri
    That was before I decided
    to become an idol.
[19:30] eri
    When I'd get back from school,
[19:32] eri
    I'd be all alone until late into the night.
[19:35] eri
    I live all alone with my mom,
[19:37] eri
    and she works overtime a lot.
[19:41] eri
    At times like those,
[19:42] ---
    I would watch idol
    concert videos and such.
[19:46] eri
    Looking at those shining idols
    on stage gave me strength.
[19:50] eri
    I'd think, "I need to be cheerful
    and smile like them."
[19:57] eri
    Then at some point,
[19:59] ---
    I just started smiling.
[20:08] eri
    It was around the time
    the App Drive appeared,
[20:12] eri
    and it asked me a question
    that really resonated with me.
[20:16] eri
    "Do you want to make someone smile?"
[20:19] eri
    Yes...
[20:20] ---
    that's when I realized it.
[20:23] eri
    I wanted to make
    someone else smile too.
[20:38] eri
    I wanted to become an idol!
[20:44] gatch
    So why'd you choose
    the arrogant character?
[20:47] gatch
    Why else?
[20:50] gatch
    Because I was born at the
    center of the universe!
[20:52] doka
    Hey, hey, hey!
[20:54] gatch
    But wait a minute...
