Monster of the week: **Gagula** (ガギュラ, *Gagyura*)

## Synopsis

Yomogi and the others begin to resume their everyday life, and the Kaiju Eugenicists who have lost their Kaiju also lose their place in the world.

## Summary

Kaiju Eugenicists find themselves returned to the present with Mujina informing them about their defeat. Sizumu remarks the previous kaiju should've caused those trapped inside it to emanate a surge of emotions more than enough to hasten the growth of still-dormant kaijus, yet none have emerged, which means the kaiju in question was the last one. After Juuga states the weapon Gauma and co. used being originated from 5000 years prior, the group go on separate ways each decides to do something for the sake of their fallen kaijus (Onija still has killing all humans in mind, though). Watching his comrades leaving made Sizumu somberly ponders that kaiju users (they) reverted to their original human selves.

To Chise's surprise, Koyomi has begun working on his resume and even looking for his suit in order to be presentable while applying for a job.

Meanwhile, Yomogi and Yume share Gauma some crab crips from Toyosu his mom gave to him before moving on for their way to their school. Unknown to them, Gauma finds himself feeling unwell. At the school, Mei is pleasantly surprised upon hearing Yume apologized to a second-year student whose heart she broke from her past habit of breaking promises while reviewing her collection of pictures in her camera for an upcoming festival entry. Mei then asks whether she can use photos with her (Yume) in it, but Yume refuses. Yomogi hears from his friends, Awaki, Nazumi, Ranka, and Kaneishi that Sizumu has left. Kaneshi wonders whether it happened to be family issues, but Ranka argues it not to be the case and reminds that he was not so friendly to begin with.

Having changed her mind about her studies, Chise decides to attend school at long last, but unable to bring herself to enter the school she normally attends. Just then, Gridknight Alliance show up and explain that they will leave their world and bring Goldburn with them due to them too stand out there (or being irregulars as Knight puts it). Despite Knight's attempt to comfort her a bit and understands such decision being for the best, part of her feels not into it before running off in tears.

Yomogi and Yume also have their share of concern; Gauma is not in his usual spunky self from their latest visit and Yume points out Yomogi worries about him more than he realized.

Back to Chise, she is having a prep talk with Goldburn in which she knows Koyomi will have to go looking for a job and that Goldburn needs to go, but it's clear she's not ready for their eventual separation.

Gauma meets Juuga who informs him that with kaijus no longer appearing, he and the rest of Kaiju Eugenicists have lost by default. Such reasoning for visit is of course, not enough for Gauma who proceeds to beat his former comrade for damages and deaths he and the others have done. This prompts Yomogi and Yume who happen to pass by to break up the fight. Strangely, Juuga doesn't retaliate despite being battered since he only wanted to meet Gauma for the last time before moving on. After such commotion, Gauma confides with Yomogi and Yume that the reason why he is not in his usual spunky self being the prospect of the Princess he fell in love with not revived alongside him and Kaiju Eugenicists. Gauma explained that he figured out the Princess took her own life after his passing thanks to someone who informed him about her fate, though he cannot remember who that person was. He further states that thanks to her ability to see the future, the Princess gave him Dynazenon knowing he would need its power someday. When Yomogi inquires him whether it's possible for the two to reunite despite the knowledge of only kaiju users that have been revived in modern era, Gauma reassures that he is still happy to be revived nonetheless as he finds the modern era's scenery not too different with how it look like 5000 years back. Now that Dynazenon no longer needed, he asks Yomogi and Yume to return Dynasoldier and Dynawing, having asked Koyomi to do the same with Dynastriker beforehand.

A tension not unlike between Gauma and Juuga ensues somewhere else, this time between Koyomi and Mujina when the former goes to a photo booth for some photos to complete his resume. Their resentment toward one another is not a mutual one since Koyomi acknowledges Mujina only wanted to do her job as a Kaiju Eugenicist, a conclusion he came up after reviewing memories of their past battles, much to her dismay before leaving.

While on their way back home, Yomogi busily browses through the internet via. his smartphone about events that occurred 5000 years back based on limited info he learned from Gauma leading him to a news pertaining the disappearance of a 5000 years old mummy in a museum, the same mummy that briefly reanimated and wreak havoc. Sharing his discovery with Yume, Yomogi suspects the mummy and Gauma might be one in the same with his crush speculates such phenomenon has something to do with the power of kaijus. If such things proved to be the case, that means the prospect of them unable to reunite proved much more likely. Before parting ways, Yume requests Yomogi for an appointment just between them tomorrow.

As Gauma finds himself in pain, Yume tells her parents about her plan to visit Kano's grave, pleasantly surprising them. Her father asks whether she needs a ride to go there, but Yume reassures she can go on her own. Meanwhile, Yomogi's mother begrudgingly allows her son to go for his own appointment despite the fact that she already planned to bring him to go for a dinner with Kamijo after Yomogi's grandmother mediated their argument.

We then see the others doing their own business:

* Koyomi looking for tips pertaining interviews.
* Goldburn flying on the sky with Chise (presumably) on its back.
* Juuga wandering through the city.
* Mujina enjoying herself at a soda joint.

In the next morning, Nidaime strictly tells Knight to properly thank Gauma for his assistance in their business in Dynazenon pilots' universe. Upon meeting Gauma, the awkward exchange between them goes smoothly despite Knight and Gauma's rather neutral expression that Nidaime forces her companion to bow to the man out of respect and Gauma had to tell them how grateful he is for their assistance louder.

Meanwhile, Yomogi and Yume go for the cemetery to pay a respect at Kano's grave. Yume confesses that day being her first visit because her emotional distress she had since gotten over held her back all that time, thus it's natural for her mother to be surprised as much as her father relieved by her change to better. She then adds that at times her parents made her nuts and asks Yomogi whether the same goes to his. Not so subtly revealing that his parents has since divorced with his mom goes after another man, Yomogi expresses his uncertainty over his mother's upcoming second marriage despite his supposed next father not a bad person to begin with. Nonetheless, Yume is grateful for having Yomogi on her side throughout the visit. Ittle did they knew Gauma is present at the cemetery, watching over them in shadows.

Awaki, Nazumi, Ranka, and Kaneishi are discussing one of the latest news; a man who claimed to be a Kaiju Eugenicist caused a ruckus not far from their usual meeting spot by punching a cop and tried to take his gun only to be arrested. As it turns out, it was Onija.

While on their way back home, Yomogi and Yume are reminiscing about things they have gone through together and how it changed them to what they are now. Yume comments it all being closest to normal her life ever been if they put aside the part of them piloting Dynazenon to stop kaijus and Kaiju Eugenicists and finds herself in uncertainty over what happens after their fight is over. Yomogi reassures that he is still wanted to see her regardless whether everyone move to separate ways eventually and confesses his love for her.

Before the surprised Yume could give a proper response, however, Sizumu barges in and unveils his true, sinister nature he concealed from everyone. Citing that he now understands why Gauma died as a kaiju user back then and became a human, he proceeds to attack them starting from Yomogi with an energy blast. However, Gauma shows up at the last minute and pushes his friend out of the way and got struck instead, revealing that he knows Sizumu is after the two unlike the others. Thanking Yomogi and Yume for showing him some "wonderful" emotions, Sizumu confirms the power of kaiju being the reason of Gauma and Kaiju Eugenicists' revival in modern era, but Gauma begins to dying because his revival being without a connection to kaiju. Fortunately, Gridknight Alliance show up to Yomogi, Yume, and Gauma's rescue with Knight battles Sizumu. In the ensuing brief duel between them, Sizumu has one more revelation which shocks everyone to the core; using Instance Domination on himself, Sizumu merges with one last kaiju seed within his body fueled with Yomogi and Yume's emotions all this time (explaining why he's after them in the first place), leading to the rebirth into a white, navy blue, and golden monstrosity!

As Yomogi, Yume, and Nidaime evacuate Gauma to safety, Goldburn leaves Chise as soon as they sense something sinister emerging at the city. Koyomi notice this as well through the breaking news on the TV. As Goldburn clashes with Sizumu, Gauma urges Yomogi to phone Koyomi immediately, but Yomogi reminds him that he is not in good shape to fight. Knight decides to improvise by borrowing Dynazenon in order to try to form Kaiser Gridknight with it and Goldburn without Dynazenon pilots'assistancea. The plan works, but it was not enough since Knight cannot fight at full power and begins to lose. Sizumu then unleashes his destructive power to ravage the city further, drawing the attention of his comrades, Onija included who flees from his cell through a hole that blasted open from the chaos.

Surrounded by blazing inferno, Sizumu looms over the battered Kaiser Gridknight and the burning city.

## Voice Drama

* **11.11:** Are you well **(元気してる, *Genki shi teru*)**
	+ Yomogi talks to his father.

## Trivia

* The listed cameos reveal the following references from episode 18 of *Gridman the Hyper Agent*.
	+ The reanimated mummy incident viewed on Yomogi's phone.
	+ Gauma's waterblurred flashback scene is the original scene of Yuka comforting the mummy.
	+ Gauma is confirmed to be that mummy of the same 5000+ year-old.
* As *GRIDMAN UNIVERSE* clarified the series takes place in an alternate universe created from distortion masterminded by Mad Origin instead of real world where Naoto Sho and Akane Shinjo came from, it can be inferred that the same distortion was the cause of Gauma and the rest of Kaiju Eugenicists got transported there, though neither of them realized it as both universes being identical to one another.
* Sizumu's merging/transformation into Gagula mirrors that of Akane Shinjo into Zegga while inverting it at the same time; while their transformation process involves blood red light surrounding them, Sizumu's being under his own power and volition while Akane's against her will and external influence.
