Gently.

Yes, sir!

Oh, it's you.

Yep!

We don't want you wasting any time.

Securing the belt is priority one, got it?

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!

Yamate Institute of Music

Mr. Kaido?

It's okay, I guess.

You've become really good, but y'know...

You're too strict with the notes!

Turn your brain off a bit!

Dummy.

Okay...

Mr. Kaido!

Would you tutor me again tomorrow?

I want to be just as good as you.

Right, right!
Of course you'd wanna be like me.

I was a genius, after all!

Well, I'll drop by if I feel like it.

Thank you very much!

What's all this now?

Wait, did that Kiba guy tell
you to keep an eye on me?

He's scared I'm gonna
let loose on this school, huh?

Yes, because if you do, your body and
mind would become that of a monster.

I'm telling you people,
I have it under control!

But, don't worry for now.

I'm not interested in doing anything today.

You guys really like sticking your
noses into other people's business.

I hope everything's okay.

Have you decided to talk to your mother yet?

She just wants you to come home.

It's great that you're following your dreams,
but just don't leave your parents worrying.

Well, I'd go back home if I could.

But, my mom and dad just don't believe
I'm serious about pursuing music.

I'd put my life on the line for this.

I'm not saying I'll never return home.

But, once I'm satisfied with a song I've
learned to play, they'll be the first to hear it.

Maybe then, they'll understand.

What are you doing?!

You heard him, didn't you?!

We shouldn't get involved.

- Yeah, but...!

I guess you're right.

Do you understand how he feels?

Would you die for the sake of a dream?

Yeah, I think I would die for my dream.

I don't understand it.

Not at all.

You'll understand in time.
Once you find a dream of your own.

Anyways, why is Kiba so
worried about me?!

Is he crushing on me?

I think Kiba has been through a lot.

He still really loves humans.

He wants to stay human,
and he wants us to stay human, too.

Oh.

And you?

Do you like humans?

Well...

I'm not sure.

What about you, Kaido?

I... hate them.

You're lying.

Lying? What makes you say that?

Because you still love music.

That's why it's a lie.

Hey, Kaido!

What's your deal, huh?!

About what?

- Don't act dumb!

Murayama and Hirano are dead.
You did it, didn't you?!

Do you think it's our fault
you can't play anymore?

Yeah.

That's what I think.

So, that means you really did—

Enough.

I just got back from the police.

It's not Kaido's fault that two of them died.

It's not anyone's fault.

The police are investigating
if the two cases are related.

Now, let's go.
Class is about to start.

That's very unexpected of you to
take off work because of a cold.

Yes, but I'm fine now.

Don't worry.

There's no case?

What do you mean?
Did the captain sign off on this?

Yes.

There's apparently no way a
person could have been involved

in the deaths of all those people.

The higher-ups are blaming
it on the spread of some disease.

That's ridiculous!

There must be a suspect!
There must be!

But, it would be impossible for
a human to have caused those deaths!

Shut your mouth!

There is definitely a suspect, I just know it!

- Jeez, shut up.

What are those idiots thinking?!

This could spell disaster if left unchecked.

Leave it!

Use a new one.

- Yes, ma'am.



Nothing to be impressed about.

I told you to do it within 20 minutes.

Very poorly done, too.

I'm sorry.

Maybe you aren't cut out to be a stylist.

No! I'll try harder!

Ma'am, could I have a moment?

- Yes.

So...

I heard you like humans.

I can't play guitar anymore, y'know.

Do you know why?

No.

I was in an accident.

But, it wasn't any ordinary accident.

I found out the truth, later on.

Someone had cut the brake lines on my bike.

Would you say you like humans,
even after knowing that?

I think that's horrible.

But—

But...

I should give up on getting revenge, is that right?

Tell me...

Have you ever had a dream?

No. Nothing special.

If you ask me, a dream is the same as a curse.

Achieving your dream is the
only way to break free from that curse.

But, a person who can't achieve their dream,
will forever be cursed.

The pain I feel...

You could never understand it.

We're home.

What is this?

See for yourself.
It's hot-pot udon. It's really, really hot.

Hurry up and eat.

Have you lost your mind?
A person with a tender tongue—

—can't eat something like this!

No matter how hard I blow on it!

Don't eat, if you don't like it.

Are you in a bad mood?

I am!

I was completely humiliated at the salon.

And it's all your fault!

My fault? What did I do?

You disturbed my practice
yesterday with your hissy fit!

Isn't that right, Keitaro?

Huh? I'm not sure if...

Fine. I see how it is.

I can't stay here anymore... goodbye.

Wait, Mari! Please don't get so angry!

Forget her already!

Hey.

I burnt my mouth, as expected.

Sorry.

Don't cry.

Let's go home.

Why are you so dead-set on this?

Having a dream can be painful at times.

And other times, it pushes you forward.

I guess that's why.

I don't get it all that much,
but it seems like a nice thing to have.

Yeah, but I'm sorry...

If I have time to cry,
then I have time to practice harder.

Yeah, I guess so.

What's wrong?

Oh, it's nothing.

What do you mean you're resting?

You're not going to hunt down that Orphnoch?

I'm exhausted today.
You go, and if you see anything, call me.

Man, you're so carefree.

I'll try harder...

I promise...

I promise...

Mr. Kaido?

Cherish them, those fingers of yours.

You have fingers made of gold.

Sir!

Excellent!

I always knew you had
the potential for greatness.

And now, you've finally bloomed.

You may even surpass Kaido, someday.

There is only one thing you're still lacking.

Once that's taken care of,
you will be just as Kaido is now.

"Just as Kaido is now"...?

Mr. Kaido...

I'm finished.



Consider the extra time a bonus.

Keep pushing yourself, as you have been.

I will! Thank you very much!

What are you doing, professor?

Uh, nothing, I was just fixing this bike!

You don't seem like the type that
rides a motorcycle, professor.

Who are you?

I don't recognize you from my classes.

Are you going to ruin another
person's potential, professor?

You were the one that rigged
Kaido's bike, weren't you?

You foolish girl.

Who are you?

Who are you?

I heard it all.

Why did you destroy Kaido Naoya's dream?

Anyone who possess talents greater
than mine, must be put in their place.

Don't you understand?

Talent such as theirs are wasted on humans.

They must live their
miserable lives without such gifts.

Excuse me, Kaido.

May I ask you for a favor?

What is it?

I'd like to hear you play.
Even if only for a moment.

Did you know?

Having a dream can be painful at times.

And other times, it pushes you forward.

Or so I've been told.

I don't have a dream myself.

But, even so,
I can protect the dreams of others.

STANDING BY

Transform!

COMPLETE

Did you know?

A dream and a curse are one and the same.

Those who don't achieve
their dreams are cursed forever.

Or so I've been told.

Your sins will weigh down upon you.

That'll do.

Watch where you're sh**ting!
You almost hit me!

EXCEED CHARGE

I think I can finally get rid of my guitar.

Because now, I've met a person
who can play in my place.

Open Your Eyes For The Next Faiz.

My father's company just called.
They want to see me immediately.

Would you be so kind as to return it to us?

The Faiz Gear.

Are you worried about your missing dad?
