I'll be joining Drakken Joe.
Why you…
Everyone, open fire at once!
If I dodge, the townsfolk will…
Homura?
GREAT KAIJU SHIKI
What?
-Homura? -What's going on?
There are two Homuras?
But the one over here looks like the real one.
When I arrived on this planet…
I found myself in jail for some reason.
It took me a day to escape
and another day to gather info which led me here.
Just what is going on?
Some scoundrel is here impersonating me!
First of all, I would never take on a man's appearance!
However, that would be rather interesting.
No, it wouldn't!
Confound it! I spoke my mind again!
She seems like the real thing.
For sure.
In that case, why does that imposter know so much about us?
Who are you?
I was so close.
Enough blathering!
You're all a bunch of crap!
-That bastard! -He just killed those monsters!
I can't stand when things drag on like this.
Enough. I'm tired of this already. You can all die now!
-Lasers? -Is there anything he can't do?
I'm going after him!
I'll find out who he is!
Right. I'll…
take care of this!
And?
It didn't even scratch him.
He's got the perfect cheat.
Cheat?
He attacks NPCs.
He controls monsters.
He's powered himself above the allowed parameters.
He's illegally modifying this planet's code for his own benefit.
Then how are we supposed to defeat him?
Are you guys stupid?
We just need to use cheats of our own.
Summon mount from inventory.
Using this planet's technology, I see. I, too, have learned how to use it.
Why do you ride so preposterously?
Oh, right. I don't need to impersonate you anymore.
I would never ride a horse like that!
Who are you?
I am able to copy a person's appearance, personality, and memories.
I used you to help me get close to Jamilov.
But my mission is a bust now.
And I'd like you gone too.
I am Amira.
I'm with the Galactic Intelligence Agency, GIA for short.
A spy who would reveal their identity?
You're as careless as I am.
Oh, no! I was still channeling Homura!
The Galactic Intelligence Agency…
So a government spy.
Oh, well. I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Were you after the man with the scythe?
Jamilov was just a stepping stone.
The one I'm after is his boss, Drakken Joe,
the most diabolical man in the Sakura Cosmos.
I was so close to infiltrating his inner circle.
Now I've got to find another way.
Was it necessary to impersonate me?
A spy couldn't possibly use her own account when she's undercover.
Anyone would have sufficed.
I just happened to find an account with lousy security.
You mean me?
In any case, I was surprised to know that Jesse knows you.
-Jesse? -Never mind. Just talking to myself.
Anyway…
Now that you know my true identity, I can't let you live.
Sorry.
If only you'd stayed put in your cell, you wouldn't have to die.
Guns are useless on me!
Goodbye!
Psych.
Sniper Mode.
Now for the real goodbye.
Are you kidding me?
How could she possibly hit it back from that distance accurately?
She vanished!
She got away.
That sure was close.
If I logged out even a second later…
But that's okay.
Nobody can ever figure out who I really am.
Use cheats?
If he's using cheats,
then why don't we use our own cheats?
-But-- -That's it!
A brilliant idea!
No way! I live-stream games too!
Cheats are the worst! I'm totally against it!
We'll get called out!
But you are not live-streaming this, so it should be fine.
That's not the point!
It's just the pride I have as a gamer!
Just hearing the word "cheat" makes me sick!
So, it sounds like…
-It's my turn. -You look like yourself now!
Don't tell me you're…
I am not a gamer.
If he's using a cheat, then we can too.
That sounds reasonable,
but if you use a cheat, you'll be banned!
I've got no attachment to this planet, so it doesn't matter to me.
Time to get started!
Analyzing code!
Hey! What's wrong, punk?
Magimech Attack…
Gravity Fist!
Do you really think you can hurt me? I rewrote the program.
Program?
Don't tell me he gave himself infinite health!
You're kidding.
Mr. Weisz, can you negate his invincibility first?
I'm working on it,
but this code is so darn complex. Damn.
You know nothing about coding, do you?
I operate my Ether Gear by intuition!
I'll figure it out by intuition!
-But you haven't. -You little!
But…
I want that scythe man
to get off this planet, so I'll help.
However, I'll use your account to run the cheat.
In other words, it won't hurt me. You'll be the one banned.
Fine! If you can do it, then be my guest!
Is that even possible?
The scythe man is using cheats the same way.
That's why he doesn't get banned.
Every time he uses a cheat, another player gets banned.
No way…
On planets constructed with data, coding is the best weapon.
You can achieve anything!
First, I'll undo the scythe man's invincibility.
Then I'll amplify Shiki's abilities and turn him into…
a kaiju!
Did you think you could beat me at coding?
I'm brimming with power! Kaijus are awesome!
What bullshit! This is my world!
I'm the one who makes the rules here!
I am a god here! Me!
Back to normal for you! Removing kaiju mode!
He's back to normal!
I guess that guy's a pro at coding cheats too.
Master! Hurry up and transform!
The thing is, I can't control it.
You're dead!
It's futile.
Equipping Shiki with Light Armor.
Undo!
What?
Equipping with Demon Armor.
Undo!
Emperor Armor.
Undo!
Scarlet Armor.
Undo!
Crystal Armor!
What?
-Undo! -What?
And undo the clothing from that woman too!
I'll let that be.
Don't leave me like this!
I've had it with this! I'm a god!
There's nobody better at coding than me!
Nobody!
In that case…
I'll use the final code!
What's that?
The buildings!
We're losing ground too!
Everyone, look!
-Mommy! I'm scared! -What's going on?
The NPCs are all…
Help!
The monsters too!
I'll erase this town and everyone in it.
Vanish! Disappear out of existence!
Help…
Stop!
Hermit! Hurry up and undo it!
I can't do it.
The final code is the program that annihilates this world.
Once the final code has been executed, it's impossible to rewrite the code.
Not me or him.
You can't be serious!
It's over, losers!
Three minutes left until this place is eradicated.
Damn it!
The town and NPCs are merely data.
So what if they disappear?
They're alive!
That means they've got hearts!
I won't give up!
I'll defeat this jerk before the town vanishes!
It's useless!
I may no longer be invincible,
but all my stats are maxed out! I'm unstoppable!
If you ask me,
the power of friendship is unstoppable!
Impossible!
How could his attacks be so powerful?
I'm sure you do have the highest stats possible on this planet.
But have you forgotten that we can use our real-world powers here?
The strongest defense stat on this planet is theoretically 999.
However, in the real world, Shiki's attack power
is between 2,000 and 2,500 in terms of this planet's standards.
Plug those into Digitalis's damage formula,
and you'll be taking around 4,500 points of damage per hit.
If your health is at the theoretical max of 100,000…
Stop…
He'll wear down your health with around 22 punches.
Magimech Attack…
Gravity Fist Frenzy!
The town's returning to normal!
I'm so glad!
-Our bodies are back to normal! -We're saved!
But how come?
When the player who executed the final code logged out,
I jumped on my chance to amend the code.
Amazing…
Mister!
Thank goodness!
Thank you, mister!
I'm so happy for you!
That is one problem solved.
Yeah.
Hermit.
There are humans who do value the heart.
As for me--
Mr. Weisz has been erased.
Like I told you earlier,
I used his account to implement those cheats,
so he was banned.
And he was just about to say something cool.
What a dork!
That is a beautiful kimono you wear-eth.
An odd individual is speaking to me.
I will ignore him.
Hermit.
Let's go home…
to Edens Zero.
I thank you for how well you have served me.
From now on, you're free to choose your own paths.
As of today, I release you from your duties as the Four Shining Stars.
Live your lives freely.
Freely?
Freedom is not that easy to handle.
Can we go back to Granbell with you, Ziggy?
Of course.
You're also free to raise Shiki with me if you like.
However…
That isn't what you truly wish to do, is it?
I…
I want to help the human race.
I want to make human friends!
Welcome back, Hermit.
Moscoy!
Hey. Long time no see.
I'm not joining you guys.
I'm just here to take a break from a long dive.
See? You're in bad shape.
I'll take care of you.
I'm fine.
You should be more worried about the humans who came to find me.
Hermit!
After a little maintenance, I'm going back to Digitalis.
Please place my body back on Iron Hill.
Mos…
I guess they didn't manage to retrieve her heart as well.
-We're back! -Aye, sir!
Anyway, I'm so sweaty inside this suit.
I could never say I've got sweat covering every inch of my body!
How long are you going to sulk, Weisz?
Damn that Hermit…
She did that on purpose.
I'm back…
to being a bot.
Damn that Hermit!
You guys are covered in sweat!
Stay away from me!
You must not get closer!
You managed to bring her back, but her heart's somewhere else.
She has impounded herself in the Dress Factory.
That room that makes the clothes?
No outfit will help her if she's always scowling like that.
Before, she had a wonderful smile.
What could have happened after she left the ship?
But now, at least we can talk to her.
I'll go see her!
Shiki!
I'm sure we'll become friends!
-What's this? -Another Chronophage?
No. This is an alarm for--
Moscoy!
What's going on?
I know that repulsive laugh!
Could it be?
Hacking genius Spider in the house!
Who is that?
What if I told you I was Jamilov, whom you met on Digitalis?
That scythe guy?
You're totally different in reality!
It's an online game, dude.
Spider? You mean the guy who made ten billion glee from hacking?
That's me! The great Spider, the hacking genius!
A friend of yours, Rebecca?
Of course not! He's super famous!
He's supposed to be in some crime syndicate,
and he's one of the greatest hackers in the Sakura Cosmos!
I'm number one! I'm the number one hacker!
Nobody's better than me!
Don't you think your ship's security is a little too weak?
I haven't been able to access a system this easily in ages.
Don't tell me you've hacked into Edens Zero!
Your ship is already under my control.
