Kumon Kaito absorbs the power of Helheim itself and evolves into a new form.
Gaining the service of Marika and Knuckle, he routs Bravo and Gridon.
He announces that he will destroy the world and remake it anew.
Kouta and his friends oppose this, but...
Kaito... Zack...
How could he betray us?
Zack!
Get this to the Charmant guy. Quietly.
Zack, what are you...
Don't ask questions.
What happened to Kaito, anyway?
When did he turn into a monster?
I wonder if he ate one of the Helheim fruits...
But it doesn't add up.
If he's become an Inves, he shouldn't have retained his mind.
This is... the power of the King...
The power to rewrite the world!
If I had that power, I could...!
Is Kaito serious about this?
He's too strong for you to fight him with that sort of wound.
The wound's actually gotten a lot better.
But it still acts up right when I need to focus...
Say, you're healing really quickly, aren't you?
Yeah, I guess so.
It's because of this thing.
Apparently, it's transforming my body into something not quite human.
What the heck does that mean?
Well... it's...
I guess it's sort of like the Overlords' power...
So, you're going to turn into a monster just like Kaito?
I don't think it's that bad.
I'm just a bit different, that's all.
Peko...
Kouta, let me see your wound.
Mr. Oren.
Zack gave me this for you...
Pardon?
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!

There's...
no one left...
How did I...
drift so far apart from all of them?
You didn't drift apart from them.
You clung to where you felt safe and stayed there.
What?
The others simply moved on and left you behind.
They chose to face their own fates.
How long...
Are you going to keep ridiculing me?
What about you?
How long are you going to cling to my shadow?
Huh?
The ignominy of accomplishing nothing...
That pain is hardly worth acknowledging, though.
Consider yourself blessed not to be among those who bear the fate of the world on their shoulders.
Wait.
I said, wait!
You couldn't do a thing.
Consider that once more for yourself.
Brother!
You're tired. Rest a bit.
This is the only way I can talk to you now.
So you're not dead, just waiting for me in the future...
Sagara was telling the truth.
Part of it.
But the future where you and I meet...
Is one where the old and weak have perished,
and only the new and strong survive.
By the rules of those who trust only their strength and trample the weak.
That's why they went extinct.
When they encountered ones stronger than themselves,
they were destroyed according to their own rules.
And that's what you want?
Mai...
I want you.
Give me the golden fruit.
Me or the fruit?
Which one do you want?
I won't choose. I don't see a difference.
I will claim the fruit, become the strongest, and take you as well.
You always think you can take whatever you want, right, Kaito?
Wait for me in my future.
It won't take long.
You've sure made a heck of a thing.
I wasn't a mercenary for nothing, you know.
Zack!
Did you do it?
I just finished it.
I thought it'd be bigger, though.
It more than packs the punch you need!
Gaining the enemy's trust so you can stab him in the back...
You're quite the tactician.
I'm just a coward, springing a dirty trap on a man who trusts me...
He was the one who turned his back on humanity.
What you're doing is heroic, make no mistake.
Kaito...
He's always been fighting something.
He obtained all that power, and used it to crush Yggdrasill and the Overlords...
so who was he going to turn it on next?
It always worried me.
Wait, Zack!
Can you really do it? To Kaito...
I'll stop Kaito myself.
All of them answer to you...
You've sure got a lot of them.
They have to face all of humanity.
Even this many isn't enough.
You're going to all these lengths to destroy the world... what's the worth in that?
To destroy those without worth.
That's what I fight for.
You know, taking over from you as leader changed me.
It gave me a reason to fight...
and I learned to take pride in protecting people.
But you, Kaito...
What brought you here?
Is this the strength you wanted?
It is.
I have nothing left to protect or to lose,
so I cannot be defeated.
Yeah?
I guess you haven't changed one bit.
What are you doing?
Kaito!

Oh no!

This is my duty!

This doesn't end with me...
Someone else... will...
I know...
I know.
I thought you were going to see how far I could go.
That's right...
I failed...
Hey...
If I had received the Fruit of Knowledge...
Would you have sought me too?
You're Yoko...
and the fruit is the fruit.
You're...
so awkward...
Kouta! Should you really...?
I... always knew, deep down.
Even after I stopped getting hungry,
The only thing I still wanted to eat...
Kouta!
Yeah...
That tastes good...
Kouta, you...
I'm sorry, sis.
I can't eat your cooking anymore...
But it's all right!
Remember what I said, way back when?
That I wanted to change into someone else.
That doesn't mean you had to become this!
I don't know if this was the right thing to do.
But I know that I...
The way I am now, I can help people who are doing the right things.
If we still haven't heard anything from him...
Then it's safe to assume he's failed.
What? Then what happened to Zack?
Whatever's happened, there's nothing we can do to help.
We're here to save you. Sorry it took so long.
We heard from some evacuees we saved...
that a group called the Beat Riders was still in Zawame City, helping other stragglers escape.
That's you guys, right?
So... so they're okay...
First, we'll take you to a shelter.
Follow us.
Hey, wait up!
We've gotta try and find Zack!
I'm sorry, but we don't have much time.
If we're not ready in five minutes, the helicopter will leave without us.
What?
No way!
Kouta and Akira are still out there!
Also, there's no one here who's eaten one of those fruits
and has plants growing out of their wounds, right?
Is that... the SDF?
So, they didn't abandon us after all.
Kouta?
Tell them for me.
That I'll take care of Kaito and Zack.
They should go on ahead.
But...
Kouta!
Are you really sure?
Yeah. No regrets.
But you and Kaito fighting...
You both asked me once...
What the future I want is.
I think I've figured out my answer.
Huh?
So I'm going to fight for it.
For Kaito...
And for you.
Kouta...
I'm coming to get you, Mai.
After the break, Kouta and Kaito's final battle...!!
I won't make you wait long.
Of course, the very last obstacle in my way...
had to be you, Kazuraba Kouta.
Kaito...
What are you trying to do?
I will create a world that the humanity of this age cannot.
With my own two hands.
And what world is that?!
A world where the weak are never trampled!
I will fill this planet with a form of life that will not seek power to oppress.
With Mai, using the Fruit of Knowledge.
And you think our world can't do that?
Our own history is the proof.
As humans gain strength, they lose their compassion!
We know lots of people who are strong and compassionate!
Everyone who fought to protect this world!
And that led them to their deaths!
Their compassion kept them from achieving true strength!
As will your own, Kazuraba Kouta.
Wrong.
I'm going to beat you!
And by beating you, I'll demonstrate...
Real strength, that goes beyond just power alone!
Fine, then.
If someone has to choose my fate, it should be you.
