[00:48] ---
    What is it you seek?
[00:53] ---
    Why do you wander?
[00:59] ---
    Why were you born?
[01:04] ---
    And why do you live?
[01:08] ---
    Believe that it is to protect something
[01:14] ---
    With the strange powers
    that you have inherited

[01:21] ---
    In the darkness
[01:25] ---
    I search for something I have lost
[01:32] ---
    In the flow of time
[01:36] ---
    I await the light that will soon come
[01:43] ---
    I dream that we might one day
[01:48] ---
    Meet again
[01:58] ---
    Wow! Is that right?
[02:00] ---
    Then I'll give it a try sometime!
[02:01] ---
    Okay! So anyway, it's not always
    like this, but a while back...
[02:04] ---
    Mizuki!
[02:05] ---
    Big brother!
[02:06] ---
    Didn't mean to keep you waiting.
[02:07] ---
    C'mon, let's go home.
[02:09] ---
    This is the first time in a while
    that we've all had dinner together.
[02:13] ---
    Give Sho's dad a call too.
[02:14] ---
    Sure, you just leave it all to me.
[02:16] ---
    I'm gonna make you the most delicious food!
[02:32] ---
    Guyot Joins the Fray
[02:44] ---
    Morning already?
[02:46] ---
    You must be exhausted from
    keeping watch all night.
[02:48] ---
    Leave things to me now,
    and get some rest yourself, okay?
[02:52] ---
    I'm pretty much all right.
[02:54] ---
    Besides, it's about all I can do now.
[03:00] ---
    Sho...
[03:02] ---
    Hey! Breakfast is ready!
[03:08] ---
    This stuff sure looks good!
[03:10] ---
    I was in a rush, so I'm afraid I
    wasn't able to bring that much.
[03:15] ---
    Nah, don't be silly! This is awesome!
[03:17] ---
    Then please eat up, everyone.
[03:30] ---
    Mr. Murakami, would you mind telling us
    what this secret concerning the Guyver is?
[03:37] ---
    I was in Chronos myself for a time,
[03:39] ---
    but there are still too many
    things even I don't know.
[03:43] ---
    Very well.
[03:44] ---
    I'll start from the beginning,
[03:47] ---
    and explain what exactly the Guyver units,
    the Creators and the Zoanoids really are,
[03:52] ---
    as well as what we humans truly are.
[03:57] ---
    In the distant past,
[03:58] ---
    there was a group of alien creatures
    who came to Earth from outer space.
[04:03] ---
    They were the Creators.
[04:05] ---
    Over the course of several billion years,
    they manipulated the Earth's ecosystems.
[04:10] ---
    There was a certain kind of life form
    that they sought to create.
[04:13] ---
    One with high intelligence,
[04:16] ---
    strong reproductive power and the ability to
    adapt and thrive in different environments;
[04:20] ---
    an aggressive life form
    meant to serve as a weapon.
[04:23] ---
    And after much trial and error,
[04:25] ---
    creatures to serve as the
    base form were created.
[04:28] ---
    Those creatures were us: human beings!
[04:36] ---
    You expect me to buy that?
[04:37] ---
    So, you're telling us that we're all tools
    for war created by an alien race?!
[04:43] ---
    That's what people are?!
[04:45] ---
    I know how you feel, not wanting
    to believe it, but that is the reality.
[04:50] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    Guyot said the same thing.
[04:54] ---
    That human beings were created
    as the basis for living weapons.
[05:00] ---
    It's certainly true that human history
    is one of strife and conflict.
[05:04] ---
    We have a strong inclination towards
    conflict and excessive brutality.
[05:08] ---
    Perhaps that's the reason we're like this.
[05:12] ---
    What's going on?
[05:14] ---
    How can they sit here and talk so
    calmly about such a horrifying thing?

[05:19] ---
    They've lost their minds.
[05:22] ---
    Or... am I the one who's losing it?
[05:41] ---
    Zoanoids are human beings who
    have been "optimized" for combat.
[05:46] ---
    Optimization refers to the process
[05:47] ---
    of inducing genetic mutations
    for a very short period
[05:52] ---
    in order to achieve a necessary form
    or to augment some ability.
[05:56] ---
    Human attributes allow for the
    possibility of transformation
[05:58] ---
    from their default into a secondary form.
[06:02] ---
    The Zoanoids created through this process
    are subject to the control of the Zoalords,
[06:06] ---
    who were themselves developed to act as
    guiding beacons, to command and direct.
[06:10] ---
    And you were a prototype of the Zoalord Guyot?
[06:14] ---
    That's right.
[06:16] ---
    It was those same Zoalord powers
    that I used to destroy the Enzyme Ils.
[06:23] ---
    Just as Zoanoids are obedient to the Zoalords,
[06:25] ---
    the Zoalords in turn are genetically programmed
    for absolute obedience to the Creators.
[06:30] ---
    However, human beings ultimately
    ended up not being used in combat.
[06:36] ---
    That is because the Creators departed
    from Earth shortly thereafter.
[06:41] ---
    As of right now, we do not
    know whether it was because
[06:45] ---
    some interstellar war they had
    been involved in drew to a close,
[06:49] ---
    or if other forces influenced their departure.
[06:54] ---
    In any case,
[06:55] ---
    humanity was abandoned just before it would
    have been used according to its design.
[06:59] ---
    The experimentally optimized Zoanoids
[07:02] ---
    crossbred with humans who
    were still in their normal states,
[07:06] ---
    and their bloodlines eventually faded.
[07:10] ---
    The monsters spoken of in
    folklore throughout the world
[07:14] ---
    may well have been
    descendants of the Zoanoids.
[07:21] ---
    Then does that mean the Guyver
    units are also organic weapons
[07:25] ---
    which were developed using
    human beings as a base?
[07:29] ---
    No, it's not like that.
[07:30] ---
    The Guyver units were
    originally used by the Creators.
[07:35] ---
    The Creators used them?!
[07:37] ---
    Moreover, they were used
    as standard equipment.
[07:39] ---
    The Guyver units build upon their
    hosts' physical forms and attributes,
[07:43] ---
    enhancing their capabilities
    and optimizing their conditioning.
[07:47] ---
    If the Creators had been a mixed
    group of many different alien races,
[07:53] ---
    the units would have been the
    most versatile equipment they had.
[07:56] ---
    Then one of the Creators came up with the idea
[07:58] ---
    of equipping a human being
    with one of the Guyver units.
[08:02] ---
    They were probably interested
    in seeing what would happen
[08:05] ---
    when the unit was combined
    with one of the creatures
[08:07] ---
    that had been developed as living weapons.
[08:09] ---
    However, the results were dreadful.
[08:13] ---
    The bioboosted human
    exhibited power that was dozens--
[08:16] ---
    no, hundreds of times greater than when
    the Creators themselves equipped the unit.
[08:20] ---
    But what filled them with
    more dread than anything else
[08:23] ---
    was that the Guyver unit freed
    its host from their mental control.
[08:28] ---
    While it had fighting power
    that far surpassed the Zoanoids,
[08:31] ---
    this "bioboosted human"
    was completely uncontrollable.
[08:35] ---
    The Creators referred to it
[08:37] ---
    as an abnormal item, "not to specification,"
[08:39] ---
    or simply, "Guyver."
[08:42] ---
    They also confirmed yet another terrible fact.
[08:48] ---
    If a Zoalord were to equip one of the units,
[08:52] ---
    it would become a super-being with more
    power than the Creators themselves.
[08:58] ---
    A super-being?!
[09:01] ---
    This may be the reason the Creators
    suddenly abandoned their work.
[09:05] ---
    Everything I've told you so far is all based on
    information that Professor Yamamura's team
[09:09] ---
    and Chronos had procured from various
    ancient ruins throughout the world,
[09:13] ---
    but it is unlikely that even Chronos' brain
    or the Zoalords knew about this last fact.
[09:18] ---
    With one exception, that is: Richard Guyot!
[09:22] ---
    Guyot knows!
[09:23] ---
    Then Guyot's goal is...
[09:26] ---
    ...to get his hands on one
    of the Guyver units, equip it,
[09:30] ---
    and to do away with the other Zoalords!
[09:32] ---
    He means to be the lone ruler of all!
[09:38] ---
    The analysis results seem to indicate
[09:40] ---
    that the "item" does indeed possess
    the capabilities you spoke of.
[09:44] ---
    What? Really?
[09:46] ---
    Yes, Sir. However, I'm afraid I
    will need just a little more time
[09:51] ---
    to determine how it can be operated.
[09:55] ---
    Do so as quickly as possible, and see
    that this is kept in the utmost secrecy.
[09:58] ---
    Yes, Sir.
[09:59] ---
    Make sure that Dr. Barcas,
    in particular, does not suspect anything.
[10:05] ---
    Barcas has picked up on something.
[10:08] ---
    I'll bet he came to Japan to keep an eye on me.
[10:13] ---
    If Yamamura knew about the
    secret of the Guyver units,

[10:17] ---
    then naturally he must have
    told that test subject about it.

[10:20] ---
    If by some chance Barcus learns
    of the truth from Murakami,

[10:26] ---
    it will mean my own downfall,
    and not just that either!

[10:31] ---
    I can't let that happen.
[10:33] ---
    I may be just one step away from discovering
    a way to separate a Guyver unit from its host.

[10:40] ---
    He's a threat as long as he lives.
[10:45] ---
    It looks like I'll have to
    take care of this on my own.

[10:59] ---
    Mizuki?
[11:00] ---
    I'm just going to go get some air.
[11:03] ---
    Hey, don't go too far!
[11:09] ---
    I've had enough! I don't want to hear
    any more of those awful things!

[11:12] ---
    It makes me feel like I'll lose my mind!
[11:15] ---
    How can my brother and Sho
    stay calm in a situation like this?!

[11:22] ---
    How can they be all right with this?!
[11:37] ---
    I can't take anymore. I want to go home!
[11:42] ---
    I want to go home!
[11:47] ---
    Knowing of the units' existence
    and also of their secret,
[11:50] ---
    Guyot was afraid of the
    other Zoalords finding out,
[11:54] ---
    and so he eliminated every member of the staff
    who was involved with deciphering the units.
[11:58] ---
    However, Guyot did not know
    about Professor Yamamura,
[12:03] ---
    whom one staff member had
    privately solicited help from.
[12:06] ---
    The professor discovered
[12:08] ---
    that the "unit" in question was in
    fact an object he had discovered
[12:12] ---
    at the foot of Mount Minakami
    several years earlier.
[12:15] ---
    The professor thought that
[12:17] ---
    if someone who wished to oppose
    Chronos were to obtain the Guyver unit,
[12:21] ---
    it would provide that person
    with the power needed.
[12:26] ---
    But if Guyot or one of the other
    Zoalords were to get it instead...
[12:32] ---
    I get it.
[12:34] ---
    That's why you and the other
    test subjects sided with him
[12:37] ---
    and tried to finish off Guyot while
    he was still in the optimization tank.
[12:42] ---
    But we failed.
[12:46] ---
    As I had suffered the mildest injuries,
[12:48] ---
    the professor and my allies gave their own lives
[12:51] ---
    to get me out of that
    underground base in Arizona.
[12:55] ---
    Returning to Japan after that,
[12:58] ---
    I used my title of "report writer,"
    and began tracking Chronos' movements here,
[13:04] ---
    as well as trying to determine
    the whereabouts of the units.
[13:07] ---
    I knew that Guyot would
    come to Japan without fail.
[13:11] ---
    I sought to get hold of
    the Guyver units before him,
[13:14] ---
    and then, if possible, to equip
    one and use it to fight Chronos.
[13:18] ---
    This is the mission I had been entrusted with!
[13:21] ---
    However, many things I could not
    have anticipated have happened.
[13:26] ---
    You all know the rest of the story very well.
[13:29] ---
    By the time I found them, all three
    of the units had been unleashed,
[13:34] ---
    and one had been lost forever.
[13:39] ---
    But then doesn't this mean
    we've already avoided
[13:42] ---
    the possibility of Guyot
    equipping a Guyver unit himself?
[13:46] ---
    All three units have been unleashed after all.
[13:50] ---
    It would be good if that were the case.
[13:53] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:54] ---
    I was just thinking Mizuki's been gone a while.
[13:57] ---
    Yeah, she has, now that you mention it.
[13:59] ---
    That's no good.
[14:01] ---
    This seems to have come as quite a shock to her.
[14:04] ---
    If you think about it, she hasn't
    really known anything up until now.
[14:09] ---
    Maybe we should have told her about it sooner.
[14:13] ---
    Sho?
[14:14] ---
    I'm going to go look for her.
[14:18] ---
    Sho's not very hard to read either.
[14:24] ---
    Mr. Murakami...
[14:26] ---
    What's wrong?
[14:27] ---
    It's him!
[14:29] ---
    He's here! Right by us!
[14:38] ---
    Good morning, gentlemen.
[14:41] ---
    G-Guyot!
[14:43] ---
    What's this? The commander
    has shown up in person.

[14:47] ---
    This is getting interesting.
[14:50] ---
    It's you, is it? The test subject
    named Murakami or whatever?
[14:54] ---
    That's right.
[14:55] ---
    I've been dying to see you, Guyot.
[14:58] ---
    I see. Good work, Aptom.
[15:02] ---
    Stay there and await my next orders.
[15:06] ---
    Yes, Sir, understood.
[15:11] ---
    Richard, so you did go to finish
    him off on your own after all.
[15:18] ---
    It would seem he has now
    truly turned away from me.
[15:24] ---
    Did you think a mere prototype could
    ever stand against Richard Guyot?
[15:29] ---
    You fool!
[15:30] ---
    I will now put you in your place!
[15:44] ---
    Allow me to show you the
    power of a true Zoalord!
[15:49] ---
    Bioboost!
[15:53] ---
    Guyot, I'm surprised that
    you actually came to us!
[15:57] ---
    You've saved us the trouble of
    going all the way to Relic's Point!
[16:01] ---
    It seems your tongue is as
    sharp as ever, if nothing else.
[16:05] ---
    But let's not be hasty, Agito.
    These two are your opponents.
[16:12] ---
    Enzyme II!
[16:14] ---
    I will personally tear out your control metal
    after these two have finished you off.
[16:21] ---
    Don't take us lightly, Guyot!
[16:24] ---
    I won't be taken down so easily!
[16:31] ---
    I'll take you down even if it means my own life!
[16:36] ---
    Mizuki...
[16:38] ---
    Where the heck could she have gone?
[16:45] ---
    What the heck are you doing out here?
[16:50] ---
    Did you get lost?
[16:51] ---
    Everyone's worried about you.
[16:53] ---
    C'mon, let's get back there quick.
[16:56] ---
    I'm going back.
[16:58] ---
    I'm going home!
[16:59] ---
    Whoa, hold on!
[17:01] ---
    Wait, Mizuki!
[17:02] ---
    Leave me alone! I told you I'm going home!
[17:07] ---
    What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
[17:10] ---
    You're the ones who have lost it!
[17:14] ---
    Mizuki...
[17:16] ---
    I've been attacked by monsters,
[17:18] ---
    kidnapped and locked up,
[17:20] ---
    and you and Makishima have
    become like monsters yourselves!
[17:23] ---
    And then you tell me that human
    beings are tools made for war?!
[17:28] ---
    Enough is enough!
[17:34] ---
    Why...
[17:36] ---
    Why is this happening to us?!
[17:39] ---
    Why do we have to go through this?!
[17:42] ---
    Just a little while ago, we were all
    everyday high school students!
[17:46] ---
    So why did all of this happen?!
[17:49] ---
    Why?!
[17:50] ---
    Tell me why!
[17:57] ---
    I want to go back to those days.
[18:16] ---
    Sho...
[18:17] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mizuki!
[18:21] ---
    It's all my fault for getting
    you guys involved in this.
[18:25] ---
    I'll do something!
[18:26] ---
    I'll promise I'll do something about it!
[18:30] ---
    So, let's go back to the others.
[18:40] ---
    Okay...
[18:48] ---
    If I could just fire my mega-smasher,
[18:50] ---
    I'd be able to take them out in one shot,
[18:52] ---
    but I won't stand a chance if
    I'm attacked while charging it up.

[19:00] ---
    What? Is that the best you can do?
[19:04] ---
    Okay then, right back at you!
[19:09] ---
    What do you think of my gravity bullets?
[19:12] ---
    Of course, this is only twenty
    percent of my maximum output.
[19:15] ---
    Damn...
[19:22] ---
    Fool!
[19:25] ---
    Mr. Murakami!
[19:40] ---
    Makishima!
[19:41] ---
    Well, I guess this is the end for you.
[19:43] ---
    Playtime is over.
[19:46] ---
    Consider it an honor to be able to die
    at the hands of a Zoalord like me.
[20:04] ---
    Out of time already?
[20:06] ---
    I guess it was inevitable, since I had to take them
    out before their optimizations were complete.
[20:10] ---
    Now's my chance!
[20:13] ---
    Makishima!
[20:17] ---
    Right!
[20:23] ---
    Die, Guyot!
[20:44] ---
    Did you get him?
[20:46] ---
    Most likely...
[20:47] ---
    It did only fire from one side,
[20:48] ---
    but there's no way he should
    have been able to survive that.
[21:03] ---
    You sons of bitches...
[21:08] ---
    No way!
[21:10] ---
    Now you've really pissed me off.
[21:13] ---
    You pitiful maggots!
[21:16] ---
    I'll send you all to Hell!
[21:33] ---
    Sho, that's...
[21:34] ---
    That's about where the others are!
[21:56] ---
    When the person who was
    always there went away

[22:00] ---
    I was assaulted by nothing but noise
[22:06] ---
    Never again being able to call out
    a name you've grown used to saying

[22:10] ---
    is a lonely thing, isn't it?
[22:16] ---
    I will swim there without
    relying on a boat with no oars

[22:26] ---
    Cotton candy
[22:29] ---
    Sadness can be healed while you whistle
[22:37] ---
    Cotton candy
[22:39] ---
    Don't hide your tears from others
[22:46] ---
    Even if it's too bright or too dark
[22:57] ---
    Fix your gaze and look closely
[23:05] ---
    To find a light in the dark
[23:07] ---
    In the light to find the invisible thing
[23:30] ---
    A wounded heart lamenting a harsh reality...
[23:34] ---
    He must protect Mizuki.
[23:36] ---
    Though suffering from a deep wound,
[23:39] ---
    Sho stands and once again shouts "Guyver."
[23:41] ---
    Traces of kindness flash through his heart.
[23:45] ---
    Next time: "Arise, Guyver I."
[23:48] ---
    The strength of their bond
    brings about a miracle.

[23:51] ---
    Arise, Guyver I
[23:54] ---
