Dai Guard - The Bottom Line -Vol 6-

Product Description So far; so good. The DAI-GUARD pilots have beaten back the enemy. They've saved mall after mall from certain destruction. They even found time for a tune- up. But the battle for the human race is about to enter its final stage and all of humanity is one breakdown from defeat. Can our trio of heroes go the distance? Who will be left standing and how much will their insurance rates go up? Will they be given a heroes' welcome? Or will they have to work overtime, holidays, and weekends? The only way to find out is to watch. The final episodes of DAI-GUARD are in your hands! Amazon.com As she watches her physician stepfather administer first aid to disaster victims, Ibuki rediscovers her purpose and rejoins Akagi and Aoyama as a Dai-Guard pilot. The Public Relations Division 2 staff of 21st Century Defense Security faces their toughest challenge in the three linked episodes that form the final adventure. A gigantic Heterodyne settles above Tokyo, thrusting down root-like tentacles until it forms a vast dome over the city. Dai-Guard requires help from the Army's mecha Kokubogar to defeat the monster. But even this exceptional show of heroism fails to break the "salaryman" pattern: once the Heterodyne is destroyed, the crew goes back to filing reports, calculating fuel costs, and applying for insurance reimbursements. It's sad to see an entertaining series conclude, even on an upbeat note, but otoku can sleep easily as long as these office workers are saving the world.
