You Are Givas (お前はギヴァス, Omae wa Givas) is the twelfth episode of Ultraman Arc.

Synopsis[]

Yuma is shocked by the meaning of Givas' word.. He ends up acting harshly towards Shu and is overwhelmed with regret.

That's when "he" comes to save Yuma from gloom!?

With the GDF's attack imminent, Yuma infiltrates Givas as a last resort, and comes face to face with the shocking truth!

Shu Ishido's Diary[]

Expand to read Shu Ishido's diary entry.

My smartphone is ringing again. Mr. Nibuya is calling. I imagine he’s furious that I helped Yuma sneak into the cockpit of Givas by diverting the attention of the GDF unit that was on security. I wouldn’t blame him for being angry at me.

Needless to say, I wish I had enough time to carry out the operation in an approved procedure. However, I had limited options given that a GDF combat unit ordered to annihilate Givas was already approaching. Though I believe this was merely out of necessity, as a member of the GDF, I can’t help but feel ashamed to have had to act this way.

On the other hand, I’m secretly proud of the fact that it was because Yuma, I and the other SKIP members rolled the dice in this risky situation that we were able to put a close to this so quickly. Of course, I wouldn’t dare say this in front of Mr. Nibuya…

Anyway, if any disciplinary action is taken against those involved, I intend to take full responsibility for all the blame.

I’m not sure what the GDF will release as an official statement on this matter. After Yuma climbed into the cockpit, Yuma learned what had happened to Planet Meguma. Coming face to face with Givas, he pleaded “I am your Givas = friend.” Givas accepted this and willingly left Earth. I reported these accounts exactly as Yuma told me to the GDF headquarters.

I haven’t received any feedback about it yet, but unfortunately, we don’t have any objective evidence on the matter. If they conclude that it was just some disillusioned investigator's misconception, that’s that. In that case, the GDF’s official statement won’t include any of our accounts. It’s frustrating to think, but that’s reality. Among the GDF, some take the stance that Givas left Earth merely as a temporary procedure just to buy time until it rebuilds itself for another attack. It's perfectly plausible and I understand why some have come to this understanding. However, I do not share the same view. If Givas were to return to Earth, I believe it would be to protect humans as its Givas = friend. Just as Yuma risked his life to save Givas.

Likely, Arc also protected Givas the way Yuma did. Arc literally threw himself in the way to stop Givas, who was confused and causing chaos. Arc was trying to help Givas understand the message. Well, at least for me, that’s how it appeared.

In the GDF, there are different opinions about Arc. More are growing wary of Arc because he’s been seemingly letting the kaiju off the hook. Those that are critical of Arc insist that there must be some motive behind his actions and that thus we shouldn’t blindly assume that he is our ally.

I also want to challenge such an opinion. Is there any particular justification required to steer clear of battles as much as possible to save lives? Isn’t this an innate behavior that living things have in common? Certainly, as I have repeatedly reminded myself, I should refrain from assuming that beings we still do not fully understand share the same practices as humans. But…

I momentarily put down my pen because I had received an email from Yuma. I opened it right away, since it’s rare for him to email late at night. It was his analysis about Oka-Gubila. He wrote, “Oka-Gubila is quite aggressive to intruders that set foot in its territory. I’m wondering if the reason for the sudden second attack was to intimidate Givas. It would make sense if Oka-Gubila deemed Givas an persistent threat to its plan to make Hoshimoto City’s underground its new habitat” etc.

I feel bad saying this, but I burst out laughing. Even this late at night, Yuma’s thinking of kaiju.

Wait, this is not time to be laughing. I started writing my diary as a mental refresher, but I still haven’t finished work. I still have to write an analysis about “the new moon” that Givas was looking for. Although the recent crisis has passed, there’s a burden weighing heavy on me. Actually, Mr. Nibuya’s call may not have been to nag me about following procedure, but to tell me something about “the moon.[2]
