Song Name: 「Challenge the GAME」 by REDMAN

Ima, Kako, Mirai mo
Now, past and future

The left side of Zeon's face appears with a reverse mark, with flashbacks of Cray's Collapse in the background

Bokura ga negatteiru yume no kakera
We are wishing upon the shards of dreams

It then shifts to the right, showing the right side of Zeon's face without a reverse mark, with flashbacks of Z World in the background, and zooms out to show Zeon as he was in Cray's Collapse on the left side, and Zeon as he is now in Z World

Tsukamitoru made
Until we can grasp them,

He uses his katana to slash the screen in half, cutting the two sides in half and completing the left side with his Z World side

Challenge the GAME

Zeon reaches forward, and sees a faint image of Yza flashes before him.

(Let it Go!, Instrumental)

As Zeon's eyes widen, we go inside it, travelling through his key moments in Cray's Collapse: Making Rukia join, stealing Shooting Star Dragon, killing Izo, kidnapping Rino, and guarding Backlion by fighting Wyvon and Rino

Uchikowasenaikurai no mondai ga
When there's a problem that can't be beaten

As Zeon runs through the darkness, in the background, memories of his began playing: the first being him cutting his hair angrily. As he continues to run, his memories change: with his new haircut, he goes to everyone in the Ryuzaki Mansion.

Bokura wo mata tameshiteiru
We'll just try again

He apologises by going on his knees and begging for forgiveness. As an act of changing himself, he discards his katana by destroying it. Then, at school, he approaches Rukia and Shika during lunch, and begins talking to them.

Kimi ga mune ni idaki tsudzukeru kokoro
You keep holding your heart inside your chest

On a computer, he begins researching about what could've happened to Yza, and also edits some missing flyers and leaflets together with the help of Rukia and Shika. He also begins working on some sort of machine.

Shinji nuite sore ga chikara ni naru
Continuing to believe, making that my strength

As he continues the search, he begins to destroy his own body and social life by sacrificing sleep and devoting all the time he can to finding Yza. During the last day of the first year, he doesn't celebrate, and makes it so his holiday is dedicated to find Yza. During this time, he begins talking to Rukia more.

Namida wo nagashi te kujikesou demo
Even while you're crushed and crying

As Zeon runs, his hand reaches out as memories of his time spent with Rukia play back in the background, including memories of her being happy, angry, and the final one is her crying under the moonlight, which causes him to close his hand into a tight fist.

Kizuna de ashita wo tsunaideikou!
Let's try to reach tomorrow with our bonds!

As he continues his exhausting run, blurry and dark memories of him cutting himself begin playing in the background. As he runs, a trail of red trickles behind him, causing him to go faster.

Subete kowasunda
Break everything!

We zoom to his face, as lots of snapshots of him screaming with tears of blood running down his face plays

Osore mo unmei sae atsui yume wo
Your fear, fate and even the most fervent dreams

Falling to his knees and punching the black ground under him as his memories of cutting himself, spending time with Rukia and finding Yza begin to bleed into one another, mixing into a mess as he sobs as a destroyed mess.

Moyashi tsudzuke tsukinukero
Let them all burn as you break through

In the background, the memories of him as a 2nd year play, as well as more memories of him and Rukia. Then, memories of America plays as he and Kristy build a sandcastle together.

Ima, Kako, Mirai mo
Now, past and future

Snippets of the cardfight between him and Spectre plays too, with the defeat Zeon suffered being prominent.

Bokura ga negatteiru yume no kakera
We are wishing upon the shards of dreams

Then, the memory of Rukia asking when he began cutting himself plays over in his mind again and again, destroying Zeon as he continues to scream and hit the floor with his bruised and blood covered fists.

Te wo nobashi yukou
Let's reach out for it with our hands

As he yells out one last time, he sees a faint light up ahead, and reaches out for it with gritted teeth.

Genkai koete
And break our limits!

A faint silhouette of Rukia is seen, before the light begins closing.

Tsukamitoru made
Until we can grasp them,

Zeon stands up weakly, and begins recklessly charging, with the last of his strength, towards the disappearing light.

Challenge the GAME

His battered right hand reaches out of it, and as he is about to grasp it, the screen goes black.
