*Panel 1:* Morning light filters into the boys' hotel room in Tokyo. Clothes and bags are scattered everywhere. Kokoro lies on the floor, snoring.
**Narration:** After a long journey to Tokyo, the trio rests... unaware of what awaits them.
*Panel 2:* Zeus stands by the window, listening closely.
**Zeus (thought):** Something's wrong... I hear shouting.
*Panel 3:* He turns to the others.
**Zeus:** Wake up. Someone's in trouble.
*Panel 4:* Kokoro and Kuroro groan, slowly getting up.
**Kokoro:** It's too early...
---
*Panel 1:* Alleyway. The three boys arrive to find a chaotic scene: 13 dead men lie scattered, weapons still in hand.
*Panel 2:* Standing atop the corpses is an old man—burned arms, surrounded by flames, calm expression.
**Kokoro:** What... happened here?
*Panel 3:* The old man turns to them, eyes glowing faintly.
**Old Man:** I defended myself. Nothing more.
*Panel 4:* Zeus narrows his eyes.
**Zeus:** You're no ordinary man.
---
*Panel 1:* The old man approaches. His aura weighs down the air. The boys stiffen.
*Panel 2:* Kokoro looks overwhelmed but fascinated.
**Kokoro:** What kind of power is this?
*Panel 3:* The old man places a hand on Kokoro's shoulder.
**Old Man:** You carry great wrath... and great potential.
*Panel 4:* Zeus scoffs, trying to lighten the tension.
**Zeus:** You're one weird old guy.
*Panel 5:* The old man smirks, flexing his aura. A wave of pressure slams the boys to the ground.
**SFX:** WHOOOM!
*Panel 6:* Kuroro grits his teeth.
**Kuroro:** This pressure...!
---
*Panel 1:* The pressure disappears. The boys pant on the ground. The old man extends a hand.
**Old Man:** My name is Jigen. Come with me. I will show you how to unlock your power.
*Panel 2:* Interior of a rustic dojo. The three boys stand before Jigen.
**Narration:** For two months, they train... body, mind, and spirit.
*Panel 3:* Montage: Meditation under waterfalls, crawling through thorny brush, sparring, taking lashings to strengthen their skin.
*Panel 4:* Kokoro falls during training, exhausted. Kuroro helps him up.
**Kuroro:** Don't fall behind now.
*Panel 5:* Zeus punches through a stone pillar, laughing.
**Zeus:** Finally getting the hang of this.
---
*Panel 1:* A quiet chamber. Jigen prepares them for awakening.
**Jigen:** Today, you will discover your true selves.
*Panel 2:* Kuroro steps forward. Jigen activates his aura nodes. A massive purple aura explodes from Kuroro.
**SFX:** FWOOOM!
*Panel 3:* Jigen's eyes widen.
**Jigen:** Incredible... Gravity and Earth. The God of the Moon.
*Panel 4:* Kuroro's body glows with power. He looks at his hands in awe.
**Kuroro:** I feel... limitless.
---
*Panel 1:* Zeus steps forward next. Yellow aura bursts around him.
**SFX:** CRACKLE!
*Panel 2:* Lightning zips across the floor and ceiling. Zeus smiles.
**Zeus:** I was born for this.
*Panel 3:* Jigen nods with pride.
**Jigen:** God of Lightning. Rare and lethal.
*Panel 4:* Zeus stands tall, a thunderbolt forming in his hand.
---
*Panel 1:* Kokoro steps forward. His aura ignites blue... then crimson red... then gold. The room trembles.
**SFX:** VROOOOOM!
*Panel 2:* The other two boys collapse from the pressure. Jigen staggers.
**Jigen:** This power... what is he?
*Panel 3:* Kokoro's eyes glow gold. He stands in the center of a vortex of light.
**Jigen:** He is... the God of the Sun.
*Panel 4:* Kokoro gasps, overwhelmed by the sensation.
**Kokoro (thought):** Is this... really me?
---
*Panel 1:* Jigen speaks to all three, proud.
**Jigen:** You are Gods now. But you've only scratched the surface.
*Panel 2:* Kokoro clenches his fists, golden energy dancing between his fingers.
**Kokoro:** Then we dig deeper.
*Panel 3:* Outside the dojo, the sky darkens. Far off, the horned demons watch.
**Demon 3:** The heir has awakened...
