Before we begin here, something worth pointing out…














Literally every single protagonist is currently locked.



Let’s finish off Nenji’s story. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?




Chapter 83: Nenji Ogata 8 (FINAL)






Still, though…



Music: RESOLUTION (Kazuki Higashihara)





……



Just wait right here a sec.
Oh, sure…

Aww, Nenji isn’t mistreating the Tomi simulacrum anymore



Consider Sentinel No. 10

(That big robot… well, the “Sentinel”… If I could just pilot that thing… If this crazy loop does eventually become reality… Maybe I could at least beat down a couple kaiju…)



Time to walk with intent.



There he is!

Wh-What’s wrong?
Okino’s here… Looks like it worked.




Can’t run this time.
……











Not Kamazumi, that’s for sure…





……

He’s been shot by magic, Nenji. Obviously.

Can’t move, huh…






Music: KAIJU (Kazuki Higashihara)






Or we won’t be catchin’ the train to school again anytime soon…




You’re out too?
Our timing sucks, huh? We hit our operating limits at the same time.
What about the others…?
They’re not doing great… Even Miura-kun…
Miura… No. 19, right?
Yeah. Okay… I’m gonna call my Sentinel again…




Sorry… I’m shifting out.



Everything’s falling apart… I let down our defensive line… Please…



Let us handle the rest.
I’ve already hit my operating limit… I’ll try to get back in the fray as soon as I’m combat-ready. Natsuno-san, I’ll fight your share as well. So you don’t have to push yourself so hard…



…I always worry about you.

With that, Miura disconnects.



No! Your Sentinel’s already taken a beating. I’ll handle this.
Didn’t you just dismount? You’re already at your limit!



*sigh*





Music: To the Final Battle (Yoshimi Kudo)



Kinda weird that Megumi appears to have shot him in the ankle, but okay.
















And so, Nenji is the first pilot whose story we finish. Nenji’s story has a very cool setup, but personally, it’s a little too sequestered from everyone else and not terribly consequential. It’s one of the more obvious victims of time and budget cuts, especially since most of it takes place in one location. Still, he’s a great character.



We add a pink romantic link between Tomi and Nenji. Finally, am I right?



And there’s the board. Kind of hankering for some more 2188 stuff so I can put some real meat on that section.
