ShortSummary
  • The Gowa family conspires to have the Tactical Armors sent to Belgistan. Belgistan, using Tactical Armors known as Fakes provided by the international corporation Symbol defeat an American tank battalion approaching the country.
  • Yushiro and Miharu head through the woods while under pursuit and meet up with Misuzu and Ataka. The four are captured by Gowa's troops soon after. The 3rd Experimentation Company is recruited to stop a Tactical Armor piloted by an out of control, biologically enhanced soldier but find themselves overmatched.
  • Yushiro goes into a trance and operates the Kugai, easily defeating Miharu and her colleague's Fakes. Yushiro and Miharu leave to head to Kyoto and find the truth. Meanwhile, the JSSDF attempts an experiment involving four Tactical Armors which goes horribly wrong.
  • Arriving in Kyoto, Yushiro and Miharu witness the history of the Watanabe Clan, for whom they were pilots for the Kugai. When the Emperor orders the Kugai handed over, Tsuna Watanabe takes over the clan and refuses, instead plotting to head to the capital with the Kugai to overthrow the Emperor.
  • Kazukiyo meets with Nishida again, who surprises him with knowledge of the Kugustu Clan and Gasaraki. Yushiro and Miharu continue in their journey to Kyoto. Sorachi reveals the truth about the real Yushiro's death to Misuzu.
  • The captured Miharu and the Kugai are put in the hands of Yushiro's brother Kiyotsugu. Yushiro rejoins the 3rd Experimentation Company and manages to successfully stop the out of control TA pilot.
  • The United Nations send forces into Belgistan but are defeated. The Gowa family ponder what caused Yushiro to stop his dance. Kiyoharu Gowas presents a test run of the Tactical Armors to the Japanese Government.
  • The 3rd Experimentation Company return to Japan, but are held in confinement in anticipation of the public announcement of the TA's existence. Meanwhile, Lt. Colonel Hirokawa introduces Kazukiyo Gowa to Kei Nishida, who seeks to overthrow the Japanese Government and strengthen Japan's well-being. Miharu leads a pair of Fakes to Gowa's laboratories in order to take back the sample that Gowa had procured. While there Miharu discovers that the real Yushiro died years before and tells this to Yushiro while escaping.
  • Experiments on Miharu and the Kugai commence as Yushiro grows more suspicious of the recent events and his family's involvement. Daizaburo demands to know Kazukiyo's intentions, then forces the rest of the family to either side with him or Kazukiyo. His remaining sons choose Kazukiyo, making him the new head of the family. Daizburo assists Yushiro and Miharu in escaping.
  • The Tactical Armors twice battle Symbol's Fakes, managing to procure a sample. The media obtains live footage of the battle, broadcasting it to the world.
  • Symbol stages a coup, overthrowing the Belgistan government, which immediately agrees to a cease-fire. While in Belgistan Yushiro encounters Miharu in an ancient church. The two are chased by Symbol and are helped first by Yushiro's colleagues, then by the mysterious Phantom.
  • Gowa fails in its attempt to prevent the Symbol Fakes from escaping the city. Yushiro confronts his 'mother', who tells him to see Master Sorachi at the Gowa's abandoned storehouse. His younger sister heads there after him along with Ataka, one of Yushiro's fellow Tactical Armor pilots. While at the Storehouse Yushiro finds the dead body of the real Yushiro and finds a kugai, an ancient robot-like being in the basement. Miharu heads there with two Fakes.
  • The JSSDF 3rd Experimentation Company arrives in Belgistan and is sent to the experimental site where the explosion occurred, finding it similar to the stage of stone where Yushiro performed his dance. Yushiro goes into a trance and attempts to perform it again, but is nearly killed by a sniper. Symbol sends Miharu to the site leading a group of Fakes to gauge her and Yushiro's reaction to one another.
  • Yushiro and Miharu hide out in the Japanese slums, where they are helped by Wan, a gang member. Wan is actually a former member of Symbol and is recruited by Symbol to capture the two. Meanwhile, Kazukiyo, Hirokawa and Nishida plan their next move with the TAs, knowing that upcoming grain export news from the U.S. is sure to cause panic among the populace.
  • The flashback to the Watanabe Clan continues. The Watanabe Clan attacks the capital, but Miharu kills Tsuna when he attacks Yushiro, stopping the conflict. As a result of the flashbacks, Miharu goes catatonic.
  • Phantom assists Yushiro and returning to the JSSDF, which plan to head back to Japan. Symbol conspires to recover their sample, first by attempting to prevent them from taking off, then by sending fighter planes from a neighboring country after the plane once it is in the air. By using the Tactical Armor while in mid-air, Yushiro is able to destroy the fighter planes, ensuring the plane safe passage to Japan.
