We were on the cusp of a miserable world, in our most recent JGP.
That is, until that detestable Ukiyo Ace transformed into something we've never seen before!
...and proceeded to massacre my beloved Jamato!
What was that red fox Geats transformed into?
Whatever he is, is irrelevant to our next plan.
Our Game Master Beroba will be tweaking the rules of our next game.
I would've been savouring people's misery if it weren't for him.
We must have revenge!
Let's hurry to our next game, Beroba-sama!
Of course.
Keep that top rank, slay Niram, and you'll be our Jameity, Micchi.
Watch me. My ideal world is within reach.
It's the first time I've seen Ace asleep.
Ace?
- Ace? - Ace?
When did I...?
Even Ace needs his sleep of course,
but I've never seen him napping, either.
Yeah.
It's kind of relieving, though?
Hits home that he is human, just like us.
Seriously? What did you think he was?
You know the way he is. Made me think he wasn't quite the same as us.
Wasn't being serious, though.
Maybe you should be.
Who are...?
I'm Ace's supporter. The name's Ziin.
If something's off about Ace, it probably has to do with that red fox.
Red fox?
Let's get started~
Round 2 of the JGP will be a Sengoku Game!
Ukiyo Ace-sama!
A Jama-Area has been detected.
Could you tell me what you know about Ace?
Episode 27 - Lamentation III: A Fun Sengoku Game
Is there a reason you're asking?
And shouldn't a supporter know more, anyway?
I want to know EVERYTHING about him.
What the-
The JGP's probably started.
But why's it only us with the outfits?!
'cause you're the enemies in these games, I guess?
Jamato...!
SET
Henshin!
NINJA!
READY? FIGHT!
SET
Heeenshin!
BEAT!
READY? FIGHT!
It's the very definition of a decisive battle!
All that's left is to breach their defences, conquer their Commander, Niram,
and claim his heirloom!
The Commander's neck is mine.
SET
Henshin!
JAMATO! ZOMBIE!
They're going after the Vision Driver!
We gotta go, Keiwa!
Niram-sama, the Jamato are en-route!
And here they are.
Stop!
They're seriously going for it,
but we've got Ace on our side.
I'll send these ruffians packing.
SET
Henshin!
BOOST MK-II!
READY? FIGHT!
BOOST! STRIKE!
JA-JA-JA STRIKE!
REVOLVE ON!
Geats...!
Retreat!
A moment to recoup.
What's that?
Is that a new item? I've never seen it before.
Yeah. Sort of.
You're being secretive again. Is there a reason for that?
Ace?
- Ace! - Ace!
Is he just unwell...?
I'm trying to figure out how Ace got that red Buckle.
Recall what he said:
You always seem to know everything about the DGP...
how long have you been playing?
Since 1 A.D.
You knew about that?
I'm a rapt member of the audience, after all.
Have you heard anything else from him?
All I really know-
Why didn't you just wish to meet your mother?
The Desire Card didn't approve it.
He tried writing a wish to meet his Mum, but it got rejected, apparently.
That's odd.
I've never seen Ace write a wish to see his mother, before.
Maybe he was just playing his usual tricks?
He looked pretty genuine to me, though.
Assuming you're right,
some other person must have wished to meet their mother, not Ace.
Rare for a game, huh?
It's not everyday you see the DGP Producer playing the role of main antagonist.
Apologies, but we would appreciate if supporters kept to their audience rooms.
I've got something to ask, regarding Ace.
The DGP's been running longer than I've watched it,
but I DO recall a Deseity with a particularly strange wish.
one from the Sengoku period, if I'm not mistaken.
His name was "Yakumo Eisu".
I can't imagine another Deseity holding such a similar name to be a coincidence.
And what might you do with his secrets?
I want to be moved!
whether it's by Ace's life, or the road leading to his death.
So you want to behold his reality?
I suppose you're a model audience member, in that sense.
So? Did this "Eisu" from the Sengoku period get his wish granted?
"A reincarnation of mine will steel his resolve to protect the world someday."
"Grant him the power to do it.", was it?
Indeed. It's exactly as you imagine.
I knew it!
That's our foe's headquarters...
It's time I swiped back my Vision Driver!
It's far too dangerous! Don't be reckless!
It's an entertaining toy, isn't it?
I can tweak any game as I please with this thing!
You will never triumph over our Producer.
Oh, I will-
once I have the means to transform with this Driver.
Hah! Let's see you try.
It requires MY fingerprint to act-
Exactly!
If I knew that, I would've nabbed your fingerprint back then.
Wait...you're taking my fingers!?
Stop... Anything but that...!
I don't want your filthy fingers.
Rude! I care for them on the daily!
Now that I've got the design-
I can paste your fingerprint over mine~
Are you alright?
Aaah... They robbed me again...!
How did I...?
'Morning, Ace.
What are you doing here?
I finally know who you truly are, Ace!
That strength of yours was always a mystery from the get-go.
You fearlessly battled the Jamato and went undefeated as the Deseity.
No wonder you drew my eye.
You were already well-versed in the DGP!
Normally, people's memories get erased when the world is remade anew.
But your's weren't.
There's only one explanation for that:
Ukiyo Ace-
you've reincarnated and genuinely participated in the DGP countless times since 1 A.D.!
Simply put, you have the power to inherit the memories of your past lives.
Would you believe me if I said that's all true?
I would! I WANT to!
You've repeated the cycle of life for nearly 2000 years...
My dear Eisu...
...all so that you could find Mitsume, the mother of your first life, who parted with you.
At times, you participated in the DGP,
at others, you lived lives removed from the DGP.
I can't wait for you to reunite with your mother!
This documentary transcends time itself to move my heart!
My life doesn't exist for your amusement.
Watch yourself.
You're still feeling the effects of that red Buckle.
Your body isn't used to moving at such extreme speeds.
It's basically just jet lag.
Ziin's been sniffing out info on Ace, has he?
Is there a reason why supporters back us?
Everyone's got their reasons.
Not that I know what goes on in Ziin's head.
What about you, Kekera-san?
M-me? I'm just happy to be entertained by you lot.
"You'd best be cautious around Ziin."
"You never know what could endanger you."
Then I'd better be careful around you too, Kyuun.
You still haven't shown your face, after all.
That makes you suspicious.
"Even supporters come in good and bad flavours. You'd best be cautious around Ziin. You never know what could endanger you."
...like I could say this stuff in person.
We have a report from Tsumuri.
Their Commander has obtained the authorisation to transform with the Vision Driver.
Then I suppose it's time we subdued them by force.
Assassination of the sleeping? Appropriate for a Sengoku game.
ZIIN SET
You're not getting your way. Not until I've witnessed the emotional finale to Ace's story.
Henshin!
LASER ON!
ZIIN! LOADING!
READY? FIGHT!
I've found myself a rule-breaker~
Beroba!
Supporters lending a helping hand is a no-go in the JGP!
Why should I care about your rules?
That's a red card for you.
You're out, Ziin.
GLARE2! LOG IN!
Henshin!
INSTALL!
I HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER!
GLARE2!
HACKING ON!
CRACK START!
SET! UPGRADE! REMOTE CONTROL!
MAGNUM!
MONSTER!
MAGNUM!
DELETE!
MAGNUM! TACTICAL BLAST!
MONSTER! STRIKE!
Put that sleepyhead into the ground, would you?
Don't!
Keep your eyes peeled-
as your favourite bites the dust~
What's more miserable than this?
Gosh, my heart's pounding~
No!!
"Supporters are not allowed to directly assist in the games."
The Jamato shall unify this world and rule over it!
Witness Geats' bravery
to the end!
I should've left your secrets buried.
We MUST retrieve that Vision Driver!

Now then, let's get the highlight started.
