## Plot

### Synopsis

Milo is left standing at death's door by Kurokawa's traps. Kurokawa has once again captured Jabi, and this time he shares a glimpse of his terrifying plan to utilize Tetsujin, the very same defensive weapon that covered all of Japan in the Rust Wind. It seems like no one can stop Kurokawa, and yet at the very moment Jabi feels that despair, a familiar face appears before Kurokawa...

### Summary

Milo wakes up from a nightmare, where he couldn't reach his friends. Bisco had bandaged his wounds, but his rusting is spreading. As Milo's eyes are bandaged too, Bisco states he managed to steal some Rust Eater from Kurokawa and had mixed a medicine and wants to inject Milo with it, while in reality its the medicine that Pawoo gave him. Milo tells Bisco to first take care of himself, but Bisco lies to him that he had already injected himself. Milo wonders what happened with Jabi and Bisco guesses he escaped. As he helped Pawoo escape, Milo wonders if Bisco wants to go on a date with Pawoo. Milo believes she likes him and if he pushes a bit, she would agree to go out with him. Bisco is shocked and acts uninterested, but Milo continues to explain that she is the most beautiful woman in Imihama and that like Bisco, she doesn't have much experience in romance. Bisco guesses that her last boyfriend cheated on her and she killed him, but Milo explains that's not true as he saved him after a surgery. Milo then shares he had a wonderful dream about all of them living peacefully, but guesses that Bisco will be heading to settle things with Kurokawa and Bisco confirms. Milo wishes to be strong to be able to help Bisco, but Bisco tells him he is strong enough, confirming that they are partners and will stick together forever. Milo needs to rest and asks Bisco if he will be here when he wakes up and Bisco confirms. When Milo falls asleep, Bisco states this is how Jabi must had felt when he raised Bisco and explains that he expected to die like a stray dog, but Milo managed to breath meaning in his life. Bisco states he won't die in despair or carnage, but meet his end with dreams of Milo's future and says his farewell.

Bisco then takes Actagawa and heads towards Kurokawa. Meanwhile, Pawoo sees Kurokawa's special forces in government forces truck heading towards Kurokawa. At Japanese Government Forces Miyagi Base, Kurokawa asks Jabi if he is curious why Kurokawa isn't killing him. Kurokawa explains that with the Rust treatment, there are fewer patients, which makes them earn less and less money from the medicine, so he must increase the disease numbers. Jabi then sees Kurokawa is boiling down Rust and realizes he plans on artificially creating the Rust Wind. Kurokawa states there used to be giant weapon that covered Japan in Rust and had Rust reactor within its body, able to generate unlimited amount of Rust. Kurokawa then shows he has the Tetsujin, stating there are five of them in Japan, or six by some theories, but this Tetsujin is one of the few still functioning ones. Kurokawa intends to turn concentrated Rust into Rust Bullets and fire them out of a Ganesha Cannon, creating Rust Wind. Kurokawa asks Jabi to join him, stating that the Rust Eater true effects are activated by Mushroom Keeper's blood and wants Jabi to handpick and provide him some young Mushroom Keepers. Kurokawa tells Jabi he has no other choice but accept, or he can fire those bullets at the Mushroom Keeper's village.

Jabi refuses to accept, headbutting Kurokawa and telling him threatening doesn't work. Kurokawa prepares to shoot him, but one of his men starts beating Jabi. Kurokawa then lowers his gun and gives a knife to his man, telling him to cut his fingers so that Jabi won't be able to use a bow again. Instead, the man ends up freeing Jabi and stabs Kurokawa in the foot. Kurokawa removes his man's mask, revealing its Bisco, who then throws Kurokawa a floor below him. Bisco states he will take care of Kurokawa, while Jabi must destroy the Ganesha Cannon. Kurokawa orders his men to bring the "thing" no matter its not ready. Outside, Jabi encounters a gorilla, but Pawoo comes and defeats it with a single hit. Bisco joins Kurokawa and starts fighting him. Kurokawa manages to shoot him and injure his eye. A large man then comes with a big gun and mushroom growing from his back. Kurokawa orders him to kill Bisco, but shoots at the ground, cutting part of the floor and causing the man to fall to his death. Bisco shoots at Kurokawa, but misses due to his fingers shattering from the rust. Kurokawa starts mocking him he cannot use a bow anymore, but Bisco closes the distance and punches him, stating he doesn't need a bow to kill him. Kurokawa starts running scared from Bisco. He shoots him a few times, but Bisco still comes after him and punches him, shattering his own arm. Kurokawa reloads, believing he would win now, but Milo arrives and rips Kurokawa's arm with an arrow. Bisco then bites Kurokawa by the neck and makes them fall into the boiling rust.

Kurokawa gets burned and dies. As Bisco gets the same fate, Milo states that he promised him to be together. Bisco tells him even if his body isn't there, his soul won't die and it will come to protect him. He tells him to smile, just like Bisco always does and when he do, he will be always with him. Bisco then asks Milo to kill him so that its not the Rust that kills him. Milo accepts Bisco's request, stating that he will be living his life like Bisco did and both promise that they will meet again in the afterlife. Milo then shoots Bisco in the chest and he is absorbed into the boiling Rust.
