Ep. 3: Amou meets Yatagarasu leader Goken Kumai and faces a black AMAIM attack.
Amou and Gai are rescued by AMAIM pilot Gashin Tezuka, who flies the Jogan with assistance from the autonomous AI Kei. Gashin, a member of the Japanese liberation group Yatagarasu, brings Amou to their base camp and introduces him to local leader Goken Kumai. Kumai explains that the Kenbu was originally commissioned by Yatagarasu but was lost after its assigned branch was destroyed. He offers Amou a choice: join Yatagarasu as the Kenbu’s pilot or surrender the unit to return to civilian life under a new identity. It is revealed that Gashin’s father previously piloted the Jogan before being killed. Although Amou fears combat, he spends time with Yatagarasu members, sympathizes with their cause, and decides to join while the Kenbu is upgraded. During a mock battle where pilots switch machines, the match ends in a draw, but the base is suddenly attacked by mysterious black AMAIMs.
