A proper introduction to all the Glittering Crux Brigade leaders.

I love how the collared uniforms of each section is based on playing cards. Vanishing Age is Spades, Bouganville is Hearts, Adult Bank is Diamonds, Filament is Clubs, and Science Guild is Joker. This is also a clue-in to, by process of elimination, what cards would align with the first section - the royalty. But no such thing seems to be present..

人間と芸術の「根源」へ向かう旅

『（前略）「原型的な人間たちが営む根源的な世界、すなわち『芸術』は現在においても生き続けている」。本書での「縄文」とは、なにより「今日の芸術」（岡本太郎）の問題なのだ。

（中略）岡本太郎は芸術に進歩はないと喝破した。としたら、芸術にも「はじまりの場所」があるに違いない。いまここにいながらにしてそこに還ることこそが、本書が冠する「縄文」の別名に違いない。』

Chapter 5 – The Despair of Dying – Daily Life part 1

 “Nanami… show us the location.”

 A young man by the name of Munakata Kyosuke order the older man, Nanami Tenmei as he gave a nod. “Right away sir…” he say as typing in on the computer as then after a while of waiting the screen show a location…

 The Shizen Resort, …

 As they got a closer look to the location with a nod – Kyosuke turn towards Tenmei. “Thank you, you can leave now.” He orders which with that he simply left which then co-founder of Future Foundation gave a stern look as then he turns to look at those in the room…

 Kazuo Tengan, the Founder of Future Foundation.

 Takakuwa Momoko, the recent head of the 13th division which was in charge of Front-line Food and Resource Distribution.

 Ikeru Hansuke, lead of the creation of the Hacking Gun – A invention he made that could bypass the Monokumas and works in the 7th Division and 4th Division due to his expertise.

 Along with 3 that work under him in the 2nd division; Tamon Mayumi the Ultimate Archer, Oku Yoshi the Ultimate DJ and Kabuto Reiji the Ultimate Fencer.

 They all had gather in the room as to speak of a serious matter…

 “So is this were the distress call came from and you mention that it was the Ultimate Journalist, Esumi Masa?” Kyosuke had ask the question to Hansuke who gave a nod as typing in showing a screen of the map out location. “It looks to be the case, the last we saw of her was that she was in a rocket along with Haku Isamu, the Ultimate Debater.” He explained as the co-founder gave a nod.

 As then Momoko look at the screen. “Counting how she was speaking; it sounds like it’s a sense of urgency. Say how long will it take to get there?” She asked as turning to the Founder of Future Foundation which he began to ponder that question. “Given the location and how long with other matters, it’ll take at least 3 to 4 days at most.” He answered which Kyosuke turn to him with a nod.

 “Then will get a helicopter ready and-.” “Actually sir, maybe it be wise for us three to go?” Kyosuke turn his attention to the Oku Yoshi who spoke up. “You sure? Keep in mind we have no idea of the situation at the Shizen resort, you think you can handle yourselves?” He asked which the Former DJ gave a nod as crossing his arms.

 Clearly the guy seems confident in this as he spoke. “Dude, we’ve fought those Monokumas, even knowing a way to counter them – I mean the doc even prepare weapons for us to dish out damage.” He told him which he eyed Hansuke which the man shook his head as he wish the young man would address Kyosuke a bit more properly.

 As then Mayumi step forward as speaking. “Plus I think Masa-chan would recognize us pretty quickly compare to the rest of you, which if anything goes wrong – we can inform you all so I think it be wise to send a few instead of a whole army.” She explain as Kazuo started to ponder this idea.

 “Well, counting we have no idea what to expect or if those at that resort would require our help I suppose sending you three into that location.” He commented as then the Kabuto Reiji looking up at the screen which Yoshi took notice of.

 “Heh, you really glad she isn’t dead, huh?” He asked which the fencer look at him then smiled a bit. “Well counting what we told Yokoyoko-san and Kojikoji-san were pretty close to preparing a funeral for her, but I guess you can I… really can’t wait to see her again and take down Haku.” He stated which it seems Kyosuke look to them as any concern he had vanish.

 “Very well, will let you three take care of this matter – you won’t have much to work with but it’s snowy so prepare yourselves – Ikeru, get there weapons ready and will get our men to work.” He order as Ikeru, Tamon, Oku and Kabuto gave a salute to Kyosuke as the 4 left the room.

 Sadly however a worry look was on Momoko’s face. “Say um, what are you planning to do if Haku is caught?” She asked which the 2 men turn to her. “Ah right, you mention he was the mastermind in your killing game by force, correct?” Kyosuke asked which she gave a nod.

 “While yes he was forcing us to kill each other but it seems he was place in that position by the Remnants of Despair – you… aren’t going to kill him, are you?” She asked as the 2 men look at each other then back to Momoko.

 “I think it be best if we capture him for now, then will deal with a punishment later…” Kazuo spoke as even he wasn’t sure what to expect.

 As then silence fill the room until Momoko got out of her seat as she left the room, knowing she has work to do.

 --

 I had woken up the next morning, doing my usual routine and then headed straight downstairs, which when I went into the dining room, I look at those remaining…

 Only nine of us left, there is only nine that I’ve counted and of course Hana-san took notice of me. “Hey, mornin’.” She greeted me which as I walk in as Katou-san place some dishes on the table like he usually did which he looks at the rest of us.

 “So then… I guess we got quite a bit to talk about, huh?” The mascot had ask as the rest of us look at each other.

 Not sure where to start I decided to pop a question. “So then, what did you discover in that forest?” I asked Masa-san which she thought it over. “Well aside from the Radio Tower,  a cabin and from what we know yesterday is a mine shaft full of dangerous weapons.” She mentions as then Katou-san raise his paw up as wanting to speak.

 “Actually there is something else I discover, there was a rocket I found.” He informed which I did recall seeing that rocket as well which everyone turn to him with shock expression. “Wait, there’s a rocket?!” Rai-kun spoke as surprise to learn this information as then he look to us. “You got show us this location right away.” He declared as pointing to Katou-san which he thought it over.

 “Well I can try to do that, maybe we can go at night and see if it’s safe to go in.” He mention as then the Electrical Engineer seem pumped about as then Miwa-san step forward. “Well then if that’s the case, I’ll mark it on the map…” She told us.

 As then she pulls out a map as then writing down ‘radio tower’, ‘cabin’, ‘mine shaft with weapons’ and ‘Rocket’.

 It was still odd to picture Miwa-san was the resort owner as the others look over the map. “So you had this in your room?” Eito-san had ask as the figure skater look at him with a nod. “Indeed, I had to check over every area and see what had change and the only area I haven’t look over is the last one which I plan to check into today.” She informed us which I guess since she’s the owner she would be allow access to all areas which then she cross her arms.

 “Now with that in mind, there is something I wish to ask Masa-chan…” She say as she turn her head towards the Journalist. “Now we know there’s a rocket, are you certain that Haku might be in there?” She asked as Masa-san gave a nod. “Yep, in fact before he landed he push me into an escape pod and since then I had no idea where he is…” She told everyone which of course Inoue-chan huffed.

 Clearly she wasn’t too impressed with that response. “Well at least it’ll make searching for him easier since he is likely using that place to sleep in, but even then, could he have a defense of sorts? I mean you mention he was the mastermind in your killing game, right?” I asked as Masa-san nodded.

 “Hm yes and with that in mind, Rai-san – you got it ready?” She asked as Rai-kun thought it over as then he spoke. “Well yes and no. I just need to place in a few more bugs than we can test it out.” He say as then Masa gave a nod as then Kimura-san seem worried. “Still we got a good set up and seems we are all prepare for everything but there is one thing I’m curious about…” She mention as everyone look to her.

 I get a feeling it is something important. “What is it, Kimura-san?” I asked which she thought it over. “Well, it’s about Hamoponi’s creator – I mean we still have no idea who it is or even Haiiro – does anyone have a good idea?” She asked which we all look at each other which I guess is true.

 We still had no clue about that as then I took notice Masa-san thought it over. “Well, actually me, Rai-san and Hana-san actually did discover who they were.” She mentions which everyone looks to her which I then notice Rai-kun had a serious expression and Hana-san seem pretty sheepish about the whole thing.

 “Ye-yeah, the thing is we know who it is and well… we figure we try and get them to talk but even then I’m not sure if we can force them but I’ll say one thing… it is one of us.” She told us which we look to each other.

 It seems that we know for sure that Hamoponi’s creator and Haiiro is one of us which I step forward. “Then why hasn’t that person spoken yet?” I asked which Rai-kun spoke. “Because that person got there memories wiped…” He stated which I notice, he seem to be speaking normally as Inoue-chan tilted her head to the side.

 “Man, more stuff we have no clue but you’re saying their memories got wiped?” She asked as he gave a nod. “Yep, in fact a few days ago myself, Fuji-chan, Eito-san, Doi-san and Sunako-chan found this room and discover a gun was use… likely by Haku, so if I had to guess – we need to find him since the memory piece is missing.” He mentions which we look to each other.

 As then Miwa-san step forward. “Then seems we got a plan from the sounds of it; will explore the new area, Doi-kun and Rai-kun will check out the rocket tonight for any traps, then will storm the rocket and get that piece back… Is that the plan?” She asked as going over what to do which Eito-san punch his fist into his palm.

 “Yep, maybe we can grab some weapons from the mineshaft as well, y’know to defend ourselves?” He suggested which Kimura-san nodded. “Well okay, I mean – I’m not much of a fighter sadly, I think I fit behind a screen more as a navigator~.” She spoke as if speaking about a game she was playing.

 As then Masa-san place her hand on her hip with confidence as looking us over. “Well, seems we got a plan now let’s start exploring the new area.” As then everyone left however, I notice person had stay behind.

 Inoue-chan seem… unsure about all this.

 “Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked which the purple haired girl seem surprise. “Huh? Oh um… it’s nothing too major but something about bringing memories back, I just don’t know about that.” She admitted which I was surprise she say that.

 It seem as if she didn’t want to as then I look at those that left then back at her. “Why not? I mean, we know we got to get our memories and figure out what’s going on; like how the world got that bad.” I told her which she nodded. “I… get that but, why should we? Maybe I just don’t like the idea of remembering stuff and prefer the here and now, not what happen in the past so… maybe forgetting is better, y’know?” She asked as then she took her leave.

 Something was bothering Inoue-chan I could tell which however I walk over. “Inoue-chan, how about later tonight, we can talk… okay?” I asked as she seem surprise. “Oh, you want to talk… about what?” She stated as I thought it over. “Well maybe if you can come into my room, we can talk if you want…” I suggested which she still seemed nervous but gave a nod.

 “Okay then, I’ll come to your room tonight!” She declared as she rushes out of the room – seeming very excited.

 Which as such I took my leave to the new area…

 When I arrive, I saw the entire didn’t look as prepare or still work in progress; the whole place had buildings unfinish and I even notice a pool that wasn’t done yet…

 The first person I notice that was looking over at the area was Miwa-san who seem to scan the area as she looks to me. “This entire place was just a forest so I guess Hamoponi’s creator wanted to make more but stop production from the looks of it…” She told me which I could see a few things what the buildings could be.

 “Well we got more living arrangements, a park for kids, a pool and even a mall it seems or I think so – I can’t tell.” I commented as Miwa-san nodded. “Yep, so I guess whoever Hamoponi’s creator was likely had more plan out but they stop for some reason.” She mentions clearly not impressed.

 As then I nodded. “Well counting those Future Foundation guys are going to appear, maybe they could try and start production again under your watch; Miss. Mori~.” I say in a joking matter which the figurer skater looks to me with a slight chuckle. “I swear that humor of yours is getting better it seems, I guess you don’t seem as stiff as you were back then.” She commented.

 I guess it is true but yet again… you did as well, Miwa-san…

 As then I went on my way down to the new location, I decided to head to the living arrangement which I notice Eito-san and Rai-kun there already as checking over the place as then Eito-san walk out as he looks back at it.

 “Seems like the place isn’t livable at all – the room still needs to be reference, fix up and maybe add a few beds in then it’ll totally be complete.” He stated which Rai-kun huffed in annoyance. “It doesn’t even have any electricity or a cable either but I’m sure I can make it work!” He declared.

 Glad to see one of us had decided to keep working on this despite the set back… I’m happy…

 As then I look around the area; it seems that the place was getting build on and likely would of store more people from the looks of it but seems that the creation was stop half way or maybe Hamoponi’s creator stop for some reason…

 As then I left the area and headed to the park which looks like Inoue-chan was there, she look at the park with a curious look. “Well, seems whoever made this must of figure kids would be living here but I wonder what happen…” She commented but then went silent herself.

 “Inoue-chan, are you okay…?” I asked simply as she look to me. “Well, I’m… not sure honestly, just that there is a lot going on, sorry…” She stated, I think maybe it’s best to leave her be…

 But still, the park itself is pretty nice and I could see little kids running around and playing on various toys, there’s even a pair of swings, seesaws, slides and what looks to be a sandbox too. I mean I never really play much in parks but she would like this place I’m sure…

 As then I decided to take my leave and headed for the next place… the mall? I wasn’t very sure what it as then I walk over which then I notice Kimura-san, Katou-san and Masa-san there already.

 As then Kimura-san began to look at the building with surprise. “I feel this place would have been fun to be in but sadly it’s unfinish…” She commented as I gave a nod crossing my arms. “I guess this person was trying to make something here but still, I think it’s safe to say that Hamoponi’s creator did want to make a safe haven…” I mention.

 As of course Katou-san lifted his paw up. “If that’s the case then Hamoponi must be a good guy and once those Future Foundation guys arrive, will show them this and they can bring in help!” He declared which I nodded with a smile however…

 Masa-san kept staring at the building. “The question is however, why did they stop? What made them stop? I have no clue why they did but seems like they stop for some reason…” She pointed out which I couldn’t help but agree…

 One has to question what was the creator of Hamoponi’s plan was, why they stop production at this point…

 I thought it over as then I took my leave of the unfinish building as then I made my way to the last area which was the pool which of course; Hana-san was there which she look at the place which she look at the pool. “I’m… surprise that the pool is clean still, I figure it would be all gross and not clean.” She commented as then Hamoponi appear as he huffed.

 He clearly did not like that comment. “How dare you! I keep this pool clean and even if this place isn’t complete, I still have standards!” he spoke as pointing to us which then he sighed as then he look to me which he handed me a bag. “Also here, for the 2 trails we had since I didn’t have a chance to give to you.” He spoke as then he disappears which I look in the bag which contain coins.

 Hana-san eyed me. “You seem… weirdly more relax then normal, huh?” She asked as I blinked. “Really? Well I guess counting Future Foundation is coming and we can get this Haku guy – I think that could be why I don’t feel as stiff.” I say in a joke.

 However, I did notice that Hana-san seem… really unsure. “Huh, Hana-san – are you okay?” I asked which she look to me surprise. “Um, yeah… maybe once we get that piece Rai-san needs then I’ll tell you.” She spoke.

 I then nodded as then I check over the pool as that despite being unfinish I took notice there was a shower room, a tarp of sorts and various pool toys to play in.

 After that I had check over the whole area… seems we got quite a bit cover which after that I decided that I would refer back to the lodge for the day.

 As I made my way back to the lodge, I did notice it was getting late which then I walk over as I walk inside as sitting myself down.

 As then moments later, everyone else came back inside as then Miwa-san spoke. “Well I’ll say this about the area; it’s brand new and likely Hamoponi’s creator must of made it but stop for some reason.” She spoke which Rai-kun nodded. “Yep, there is no cable, it’s incomplete and none of the bedding was in either.” He commented as thinking over.

 Which as Eito-san nodded to the Electrical Engineer statement as then Kimura-san spoke up. “We went to the mall or… I think it is and seems that it’s incomplete.” She mentions which Katou-san thought that over. “So we can take it that there were more person that were going to live here instead of the sixteen of us but they stop.” “Most likely if I had to guess, so meaning that Hamoponi’s creator either wanted to finish but couldn’t or they didn’t want to finish.” Masa-san brought up.

 As then Inoue-chan look down for a moment as then she spoke. “There’s also a park which still seems usable but I’m not sure that is helpful…” She commented which I frown, I mean at least it’s something. Then Hana-san spoke up. “Well there’s a pool, it’s pretty clean – it has a shower, various equipment but that’s not much to go on, huh?” She asked.

 Something was up with these 2…

 As then Miwa-san gave a nod. “Right then, so we got quite a bit cover for the first day, now I think our next plan is trying to speak into Haku’s rocket, right?” She spoke which then I realize something. “Hold on, before we do I just realize… he’s been there for quite some time then, you think it could be possible he set up bombs and traps in that area?” I suggested which the others look at me.

 I guess they never consider that. “Oh right, counting there’s bombs as well – I get a strange feeling that he could set them up at the Radio Tower.” Masa-san stated which as she got up. “Okay I think will need to check the radio tower and any buildings for bombs as well.” She brought up which then Katou-san nodded. “Then I think after we check the rocket, will go check out the buildings for bombs – right?” He asked which Kimura-san nodded. “I’ll try and take care of those.” She mentions as Eito-san look a bit nervous. “You think you can handle that?” He asked as being concern which she give a light smile. “Well, I know what to do about that since I did took care of a bomb before so it should be easy~.” She stated which Eito-san went pale.

 As then he thought it over. “I guess… I’ll get stuff from the mineshaft and bring it to my room.” He brought up which Hana-san look to him. “Your room? Is it safe in there?” She asked which He nodded. “I mean – if anyone knows how to lockpick then it’ll be safe with me.” He comments as then Hamoponi appear which he seems to be looking over all of us.

 “I had a feeling you all are planning something, what’s going on?” He asked as curious which Eito-san got up. “I plan to head into the mineshaft and grab the stuff in there which I’ll bring to my room for safe keeping, it’s mostly so we don’t have Haku plan anything.” He explained which Hamoponi thought it over then gave a nod. “If it’s to protect you all then so be it.” He agreed.

 Which then Masa-san smiled a bit. “Huh, I figure you be against the idea but looks like you’ll work with us then.” She spoke as then she crossed her arms. “But doing it alone would be hard so maybe I can assist carrying them?” She asked which then she turn to Hana-san and Miwa-san.

 “What about you 2, mind giving me some help?” She asked which the 2 girls look to each other then back at Masa-san. “Well alright, I’ll assist with that if it’s meant to protect you all.” She spoke as Hana-san gave a smile then nodded. “Right so I guess myself, Masa-san, Hamoponi, Miwa-san and Hana-san will help me in carrying those boxes, so thanks.” Eito-san spoke.

 As then Kimura-san gave a nod. “Then I’ll be off to take care of the bombs if I find anything; Rai-kun and Doi-kun – after you check over the rocket, you’ll assist with that, right?” She asked which the 2 gave a nod which then I realize…

 I didn’t have much to do from the sounds of it. “Seems like I won’t be much help sadly…” I admitted which Masa-san gave a nod. “Seems so but maybe you can watch over the place while we begin working to counter Haku.” She commented which I nodded.

 As then everyone left to begin to do what they are assigned to do which meant myself and Inoue-chan were left in the lodge alone.

 “So… looks like we got some time to ourselves, we can finally talk.” She stated which as then I got up. “I guess… I’ll make some hot chocolate, want any?” I ask which Inoue-chan look to me which she nodded. “I… would like that actually.” She spoke quietly as she sat down which I made my way to the kitchen as preparing some hot cocoa which I think she really needed to calm her nerves but even then…

 I look to the door and decided to lock the back door if Haku tries anything, which after a while I have made the 2 mugs which I even place marshmallows into Inoue-chan as then I walk in which I notice…

 Inoue-chan still didn’t seem sure as then I walk over as sitting next to her as giving her mug which she looks at what she got. “Huh, you gave me marshmellows?” “You don’t like them…?” She asked a question which I asked in return which I guess we both laugh a bit.

 “Well no – I don’t hate them, honestly it’s nice… but I just, I think I’m still bother by how everyone wants to get there memories back cause… we seen how the world is outside and I can’t help but think something bad will happen if we do.” She admitted as she held onto her mug as looking down which I look to the side. “So… you fear you’ll remember something bad?” I asked which she nodded.

 It… was an understandable fear to have, a fear of memories that you can’t control over or even thinking that forgetting might be the better option which then I spoke up as saying. “Sunako-chan… I… think having memories is a good thing.” I say as she look to me with shock.

 “Huh? You… really think so?” She asked which I nodded. “Yep, even if there are memories you wish to forget or even ones you don’t want to recall, keep in mind there are good memories to have and even some where it keeps us going…” I stated which she seems surprise by me saying this.

 I eyed the girl who sat next to me - clearly, she still seems unsure about what I say. “But, even then – I just don’t want to think much on them since… I feel like it would hurt me or make me scared.” She stated which I look to her with a sadden expression. “Y’know, my memories… are what keep me going.” I told her which she grown curious.

 “Really, they do?” She asked which I nodded which then… I began my story…

 “You see, my family had died in a car crash and I was considered the only survivor but… there was another.” I told her which she seems surprise. “Wait, there was another?” She asked which I nodded. “Yep, my younger sister named Hayami… or well, step sister actually – we aren’t related by blood and while we had arguments and fights, I still got along with her and protected her.” I told her which she was curious about this.

 I guess she grown interested in the story. “You… seem to care about her but why protect?” She asked which I look to the ground. “kids kept on picking on her for quite a few reasons; from her being in an orphanage, for what career she wanted to be and… many things people didn’t agree with, but it didn’t matter to me… she was my younger sister and that’s all that matter.” I told her which she seems surprise by this which then she frowns. “You really do care for her but what happen to her?” She asked which I frowned as I close my eyes.

 “She got into a coma, I’ve been told by my aunt and uncle that she might never wake up or even get out of her coma but I can’t believe that which they told me if I raise funds for the hospital to cure her then maybe there’s a chance so… I started to brainstorm until I came up with an idea; speeches.” I say with a smile which Sunako-chan seem surprise.

 As she does, she started to think it over. “So… it’s how you gain your Ultimate talent, you gain it because of your memories of Hayami… I think she be really proud of you if anything.” She spoke as she drink her mug of hot chocolate which I smile which I look to the fire place. “Heh, maybe – I can’t speak for the dead but… I think that having memories are important and should be remember… wouldn’t you agree?” I asked her which she still didn’t seem sure.

 Which then she smiled a bit. “I’ll… think about it but even then, are you… worry she’s dead out there?” Sunako-chan which I gripped my mug as trying to keep my composure. “I… could only hope she’s alive because… she really is the only thing keeping me alive.” I stated which she froze.

 “Really…” She spoke as then she looks away. “So… would I count too?” She asked which I thought it over then smile. “Yeah, I believe so! I mean, I… care for everyone here, I want nothing bad to happen.” I told her which she went quiet which she nodded. “I see… well, I think the others do see that actually.” She spoke as she got up as finishing up the remains of her hot chocolate which she places the cup on the table.

 “I still do fear my past and other stuff but, maybe I… shouldn’t run away from them, I think maybe I could try that.” She stated as then she headed upstairs which she looks at me. “Goodnight then…” I spoke but as I was finishing up my cup.

 I… really hope Sunako-chan takes everything I say to heart… I really would-.

 As then I pause as I turn to a window, strange I… thought I saw someone in there, who… was that?

 I shook my head as then I grab the 2 cups as I gone to the kitchen… I need to get ready for tomorrow anyway.

Star Driver: The Final Phase

As promised, here is my take on what might’ve, could’ve, and should’ve followed the series’ main story in a movie or OVA. We got crumbs to follow in Star Driver: The Movie and I will be utilizing that, but the less said about what a crushing disappointment that movie was, the better. This here is the true final chapter of Star Driver!

Before the present day events proper, we’d likely get a glimpse into the ancient past where a species from a galactic archipelago beamed down to a southern ocean on Earth, forming an island on which to play out their conflict, one that ended with Kleis and the Outer Maidens creating Zero Time, sealing away Samekh and all of his Cybody forces, rendering them inactive on the island and unable to be apprivoised by any living being not bearing their marks of power.

In the present, with Zero Time broken and all Cybodies fully restored in the real world, a handful of Cybodies from the Glittering Crux get secretly shipped off by a team of turncoats led by Hideki Shibuya, AKA Professor SIlver, and delivered to the Crux’s sponsor, Leon Watanabe, who serves as the primary antagonist now. He orders the Cybodies be analyzed thoroughly so that they can mass produce them, to gain leverage in bartering and negotiations with the military, political leaders, and other international businesses in dealings that can increase his wealth and status within the global economy.

Several days after the events of the series finale, Wako and Keito, the Maidens still on the island, feel their Maiden marks returning from within themselves, signifying something is very wrong in the world and it involves the Cybodies. Wako was planning on traveling to Tokyo on the mainland to find auditions for her singing career, while Keito has been depressed and hanging out on the fishing boats with Mami. After seeing that their Cybodies can be apprivoised fully even outside of Zero Time, Takuto, Wako, and Sugata talk Keito and Mami into helping them, with the five of them riding a boat to the mainland. 

Elsewhere on the island, Kanako lets slip what her husband is up to, which draws concern from Midori Okamoto, who now does not want to see any more Cybodies falling into any more wrong hands. The Filament Trio also learn that Takuto and co. left for the mainland, and thery don’t stand for that. So Kanako, Takashi, Simone, Midori, Benio, Tetsuya, and George all board a ship out to the mainland.

Once in Shinjuku and after some character developing shit with Mami and Keito, the Power Trio finds themselves facing an onslaught of rouge mass-produced Cybodies rampaging through the streets. So...

....we get to see Wako and Sugata using their newly powered marks to transform into Galactic Pretty Boy forms, as seen in the movie.

We see the shrunken reborn Samekh, with young Sam’s soul fully reawakened within him and able to talk, as seen in the movie.

And we see Tauburn rising to protect the city, as seen in the movie.

We then learn that Professor Silver deliberately caused the malfunction that made the Cybodies go rogue so that he could sell Leon on the idea that Cybodies on their own aren’t enough and that they need to run more Cybody-human hybrid creating experiments.

There is a subplot back on the island where Reiji has fallen into a depressive slump and he can’t even paint anymore, and Ryousuke is not doing a particularly effective job serving as his personal therapist.

What changes the course for Reiji and Ryousuke is a visit from none other than Sarina and Vice, who share their secret with them and give them their own alien perception of time, that to them the past never fades, it merely overlaps with the forward flow into the future. What’s occuring now with the Cybodies is a new settlement of something that began long ago, and Reiji and Ryousuke may still have some part to play in seeing it through to its resolution point.

Back on the mainland, not only do we get to see Mizuno and Marino again and check in with how they’ve been doing, but our main character group gets to meet with Sakana (Fish Girl), who puts some of the remaining mysteries to rest. She’s a reincarnation of one of the original alien Maidens who has memories and knowledge of what went on in that galaxy long ago. She mentions how the King Cybody was the first Cybody, how Ayin’s coven sought its power for ages and created mech suits that functioned similarly and assimilated the souls of the aliens who apprivoised them, which also led to the creation of marks that were passed down to their inheritors. After the Cybodies were sealed into Zero Time, the galactic civilization that remained on the island ended up breeding with the humans who came there, resulting in bloodlines like the Shindo family and the Maiden Square.

As all the allied Star Drivers and Maidens join together to raid the secret Okinawa base where Leon is having the Cybodies made, we get the True Final Boss. Wanting to assert himself as a being of true greatness, Professor Silver betrays Leon and reveals he’d had Ayingott revived so that, with his own system, he can fuse himself and Ayingott together, and in this state suck dry the life energy of the Maidens to gain the power to subjugate the world as he pleases, with only those worthy of being merged with Cybodies getting to survive and work under the new Glittering Crux regime. As he puts it, he’s “bringing the world into the fifth phase!” He and Ayingott merge into a singular abomination that all the Star Drivers present must battle.

And just when things seem darkest, it’s...Reiji Miyabi to the rescue?  Still in possesion of Sinpathy’s mark that Shingo gave him, Reiji apprivoises in order to use Sinpathy’s power to take parts and abilities off from other Cybodies and grant them all to Tauburn, even from Samekh himself! This turns Tauburn into a veritable Voltron of Cybodies! (Also, Reiji would finally address Takuto as his son here, though he and Takuto don’t forgive each other). This on its own still isn’t enough to overcome the empowered Ayingott, but the combined power of the Maiden Square weakens the monstrosity. Unlike Window Star, Silver has been too deeply consumed by Ayingott to be saved, so he is destroyed by Tauburn’s ultimate Tau Beam along with the evil Cybody, and Leon Watanabe is taken off to be hospitalized.

Once back to civilization, the Entrapeople appear to settle things in regards to the Cybodies. Having observed everything, they are now at last ready to act in one way - they’ll return the Cybodies to their home galaxy, away from the reach of humans. However, the Star Drivers will keep their marks, meaning the connection between them and their Cybodies will go unsevered, and that one day when they can figure out the best practical use for Cybodies and how to safely utilize their final phase, the Cybodies may be returned to Earth. 

And for a last minute surprise, Takuto is reunited with his mother, Sora. She and Reiji acknoweldge each other as well, but don’t say much to each other, their time together long in the past. She does express some interest in reconnecting with Ryousuke, so they’ll keep in touch. Reiji also gets to see Sakana again, offering to give her support in whatever career she decides to seek, and for old time’s sake they look out at the falling snow, with Sakana finally getting to say the line “The winter breeze...it came again this year.”

We then of course get an epilogue that shows us the adventure of life going on, how everyone on Southern Cross island is doing that winter, and the final scene we got in the movie with Takuto, Sugata, and all four Maidens plus Marino meeting up together in Tokyo.

when you get older does it mean you turn from a crispy apple into a granny smith apple? 🤔

heya! hmm iono, but using myself as an example– i’m not that old but i’m already a granny deep inside. i’m always just wondering what something is. all them youngins creating new fads, memes, and slang daily. how am i supposed to keep up! ლ(ಠ_ಠ ლ)

ps: i love granny smith apples! they originated from here too ♡

heya! i have extremely horrible luck. like it’s absolutely abysmal. you can browse my ‘gacha woes’ tag to see me crying about it haha. every time i want something, i get it as the last item. i always justify continuing down the path of ruin by thinking i’m gonna get it next for sure! then midway i think to myself, i’ve already gone this far, i can’t give up now! then i end up just completing it because the gacha gods hate me and always give me what i want last. (－‸ლ)

heya! well, a few characters have my fave voice actors! so i always look forward to hearing them in the games! ✿

byron (midcin) / motonari (ikesen) / reiji (dialovers): katsuyuki konishi

husband voice! he was in some old mecha show i loved and he has a special place in my heart. (≧◡≦)

sirius (ikerev): junichi suwabe

i love junichi suwabe! his voice is just so nice and smooth. like i can identify it easily. he also plays a number of anime characters that i like! aomine from knb! ren from utapri! ♡

lancelot (ikerev) / rayvis (midcin): nobuhiko okamoto

i love most of the characters he plays in anime! for those of you who don’t know, he plays bakugo from bnha, mikorin from monthly girl’s nozaki-kun, and karma from assassination classroom. he has a lot more notable roles but these are the ones i thought of first. ☆

nobunaga (ikesen) / victor (mlqc): tomokazu sugita

it’s gintoki! it’s kyon from haruhi suzumiya! it’s hidenori from daily lives of high school boys~ kabakura from wotakoi! he’s like everywhere. ♪

Natalie launched a column with Asako Toki to explore the singer/songwriter’s recent new obsession with  K-pop.

She apparently first got into it after watching a dance practice video of Blackpink, and for this entry, she also talks about MAMAMOO and Monsta X. She talks about the latter in depth, recounting the time she got a text from her friend about, I think, Wonho leaving the group. “My mind went blank. I don’t remember picking up my luggage,” she said, remembering when she heard the news via Line at the airport

I’m more curious to see who exactly is in her Line circle of K-pop friends. She said she hit up Okamoto Reiji of the Okamotos when she first got into Blackpink, then he gave her more recommendations, including her favorite Monsta X. “The more I got into it, I wanted to have more people to talk about it as serious as me, so I thought I had to be open about it,” she said. “After Reiji-kun, I also told Ami [Onuki] of PUFFY, and she told me, ‘congratulations, welcome to the club.’” (Who does Ami stan!?)
