The Overlords.
Those who attained a new stage of evolution within Helheim…
Who rule over fate itself.
Following Yggdrasill's guidance, Kaito finds and enters into combat with one.
Meanwhile, the depressed Kouta learns about them as well.
He resolves himself to find a new way to save the world,
and as Gaim, dons the Triumph Arms.

Honestly.
It was more than enough that you got as much data as you did.
Don't you know when to stop?
Our goal is to research... and try and understand them.
And that...
...was simply the easiest way for me.
Seriously…
Fe dloa'co...
Got it, move... wow...
Don't say no, just live more!
It's survival, you gotta move
When life's in a warring state
Who's got the strength to win
Now that all the locks are open?
Don't say no, just live more!
Where will you find...
Don't say no, just live more!
And how will you use...
The forbidden fruit?
The wind of the moment has its own message to share
It's blowin' stronger and stronger till it reaches you
Your dreams and future may seem so far away...
When you've got all you can out of life, that's when you can stop
But don't let life get you down
Keep your head held high
Wherever you may go
Never compromise yourself
Follow the path you believe in, and just live more!
Don't say no, just live more!

I'm sorry.
You've been seeing more of Kouta than me recently.
Have I?
Have you noticed anything about him? Anything weird?
Is something bugging you?
Kouta has one terrible habit.
He always wants to help people, but he refuses to take help.
He's always ignored his own interests.
Always.
I feel like he's trying to handle something big all by himself.
And keeping it from us…
Mai, you're always worrying about Kouta, aren't you?
Wha…
It's not what you think!
I just… sometimes…
Don't worry.
I joke, but I'm just as worried that Kouta's going to get in over his head.
That's why I kept my eye on him even after he left the team.
Mitchy…
Kouta will be fine.
If he does anything too dangerous…
I'll stop him myself.
At least I can do that much.
Thank you. For looking out for Kouta.
Kouta's my friend too.
I don't want to see him suffer.
Kureshima!
Didn't see you at school today.
It's none of your business.
What's been up with you?
Tardy all the time, or just gone…
I have more important things on my mind than school.
Too bad.
I thought we were rivals.
Rivals?
Listen.
Can you see where you'll be in ten years?
Do you even have the power to control your own fate?
No, you wouldn't understand.
Oh well.
You're better off that way.
The most important thing in life is to have the power to give and to take away.
That's the kind of power I want. Influence.
One, two, one, two…
Alright...
So, this is the only one I haven't used yet.
Okay then!

I can hear them...!
I can hear them!
Isn't there something we can do?
Whoa!
That idiot.
Huh?
He's worrying Mai so much...
Hey, it's Mitchy!
Hey! Over here, Mitchy!
I'm right here!
Mitchy!
Here I am!
A new Lockseed?
Yeah, it's perfect.
I'm on a hunt, and this is just what I need.
What are you playing at?
I think there's another way to save the world than Yggdrasill's plan.
I'm gonna try it.
What?
The Inves have bosses, these Overlord guys.
Apparently they can control Helheim's plants.
Kouta, who told you this?
DJ Sagara.
Sagara?
Yeah.
I thought he was just one of Yggdrasill's goons,
but he's really been helping us out.
Kouta, are you sure he's not just using you?
Well, he might be.
But that means he wants something out of me.
At least, maybe, I can figure out what that is.
So you just let yourself be manipulated!
That's why Yuuya...
Exactly.
It's my fault Yuuya died.
I'll never forgive myself for that...
But that's why I can't turn back now.
If I let Yggdrasill get away with their plan, even more people will die.
Kouta…
If you go down this path, you might end up regretting it again.
Hey, you'll warn me if that's going to happen.
You're sharper than me, you know?
But you never listen to anything I say…
Mitchy…
Never mind.
Of course.
So, this idiot will have to suffer even more before he learns...
Sagara?
Yes.
That's impossible.
Some internet celebrity couldn't create a Lockseed without me knowing.
When Kazuraba Kouta escaped from Yggdrasill,
it was him that provided the security pass and Genesis Core, apparently.
That's ridiculous. He's not part of this project.
Maybe. But Kazuraba Kouta didn't appear to be lying.
Perhaps he's been deceived himself?
What's Sagara trying to use Kazuraba Kouta for?
The Inves have bosses, these Overlord guys.
There are creatures in Helheim we don't know of,
apart from the common Inves.
He's trying to hunt them down.
To what end?
I don't know.
So that's your game?

Well, isn't this unfortunate. Trouble this late in the game?
Especially from an outsider like him.
What is Sagara, really...?
The more pressing issue is Kazuraba Kouta.
He has power beyond our knowledge,
and now he's aware of the existence of the Overlords.
Then somebody needs to shut him up for good.
Takatora's still ignorant, which is good...
But if Yggdrasill does find out, the playing field's even again.
Can you handle this, Sid?
Well, moping about it isn't going to get me anywhere.
Time to play my trump card.
Kaito?
After everything they put the Beat Riders through, you're still dancing?
Yeah. Zack and Peko are too.
No more teams anymore. We're all dancing together.
How times have changed.
Well, we're not as popular as the Inves Games were.
But now we've got an audience that just wants to watch us dance.
And that's way more fun than it was before.
I see.
What, don't you dance anymore? Try it with us!
All I wanted...
Was somewhere I could display my power to the world.
Looking back on it, it was just a waste of time.
If you really think so, we'll make sure it's definitely fun next time!
I don't have time to waste on you anymore.
I've found a goal truly worth pursuing.
To obtain power that even Yggdrasill cannot rival...
And true strength, that will yield to no man!
They shall be mine.
But if you become stronger than everyone else...
You'd leave them all behind, right? Wouldn't you be lonely?
I think you'd just be the saddest person in the world.
You and I have different ideas of what strength means.
Your words, not mine.
But...
The weak will meet their judgment before long...
And the value of the strength you feel so strongly about will be put to the test.
When you face unimaginable power, when it grinds you into the dust and drives you to despair...
If you can still stand up and dance...
Then I will respect your so-called strength.
Kouta would know what to say to him...
Right...
Let's try this out.
