A thorough review of episode 2 of Build Divide -#FFFFFF-!

"New Kyoto" - a city ruled by a "king"
In this new Kyoto, a "Rebuild Battle" was taking place, in which people challenged the "King" to have their wishes granted.
However, the truth is that Shin-Kyoto is a virtual city.
The goal was to select a capable Build Divide member to serve as the main CPU to be integrated with the program that runs the city.
Teruhito's battle was to rescue Kikka, who had been imprisoned as a CPU...

--Time passes, and three years later--
New Kyoto had lost its former streetscape and had become a ruined city.
The people are captured by the king's messengers called KUGE and sent to "barrels" to have their magical powers stolen.
All to maintain the "King"

Meanwhile, a girl is being chased by KUGE...
The girl is the former king, Kurabe Kikuka.
The chrysanthemum flower was considered the strongest in the history of New Kyoto.
Even so, she continues to be pursued by KUGE and is powerless to do anything about it.
Kikuka didn't have a Build Divide deck at hand.

"This is a crime, this is a punishment. I will never see the light again..."
With all her regrets and running away day after day, she sinks into the depths of despair, but someone extends a helping hand to her...

--I want to see you again--
"To Teruto" "To my master"
Set in the ruined city of "Shin-Kyoto," the battle between the two girls begins as they hold hands to go and meet someone special.

A girl from the outer district who has had a hard life. She met Teruto and Sakura three years ago and enjoyed spending her days with them as a younger sister figure. She currently lives together with her classmates in a hideout. Perhaps due to the harsh environment after the collapse, her expression and personality have changed since three years ago and become cooler. Her ace and territory is the white "Palhadora".
・She is the twin sister of Kurabe Kikuka Teruto and was king until three years ago. She has the strongest Build Divide ability of all the previous kings of New Kyoto. However, she currently does not have a deck, and just looking at a card makes her feel nauseous... By being freed from the throne, she was supposed to be able to regain her original personality and expression, but due to numerous traumas, she has come to despise herself. Her ace and territory is the blue "Iris".
・Naomitsu Enjo A kind young man with a strong sense of justice. In the real world, he is Biotoken No. 8, produced as Hikuma's vessel. Three years ago, he came to the virtual city of New Kyoto to take revenge on Hikuma, but was caught up in the collapse of the tower when he confronted Hikuma. After that, his memories were sealed and he was forced to put New Kyoto citizens into barrels as Hikuma's subordinate. The number "8" of No. 8 is written on the left side of his neck. Even now, he still doesn't like bitter things. His ace and territory is the red "Lepardus."
・Kanagi Rinpu A girl who served the King as a "Guardian" under Hikuma's orders. After being caught up in the collapse of the Tower, her ego was sealed away along with Naomitsu, and she put the citizens of New Kyoto into barrels in order to revive Hikuma. Her earrings were destroyed by Reirai, and she regained her ego. She became a "Guardian" because she was chosen to take her sister's place at a young age. When she found out she would never be able to leave the Tower, she gave up on many things, but... Her ace and territory is the red "Melissa."
・Kanagi Reira The eldest daughter of the clan who was given the mission of serving the king by Hikuma as a "Guardian". After the death of her predecessor, she defeated Mikhail in the battle to select the next "Guardian" and was chosen as the "Guardian", but after learning the truth about the "Guardian", she challenges Hikuma to a fight. However, she is defeated and imprisoned in the tower's dungeon. After escaping the dungeon as the tower collapses, she returns to fight to defeat Hikuma. Her ace and territory are the blue "Camilia".
・Ishinome Tatsumi
A mysterious person who lived as a freeloader in the New Kyoto Tower until three years ago. He has done things that seem inhuman, such as using mysterious powers and granting Kikuka's wish to create Sakura. When the tower collapses, he tells Hikuma, "I'm going out for a bit," and goes outside. He then loses his powers and takes up residence in the hideout set up by Hiyori and the others. With the knowledge he has acquired over the years, he takes care of all household chores such as cooking and sewing. He also has fun with the children in the hideout, but...
Teruhito Kurabe is Kikuka's twin brother. He once defeated the King in Rebuild and went to the real world, but after learning the truth about New Kyoto, he returned to New Kyoto to rescue Kikuka, who had been taken prisoner. After that, he met Sakura, Hiyori, and Naomitsu, and while settling his grudges and past with Kikuka, he also faced his own weaknesses and saved Kikuka. However, when he separated Kikuka from the throne, he ended up being taken prisoner himself.
・Banka Sakura A being created when Kikka defeated the King in the Rebuild Battle and was taken prisoner, wishing for a "self other than herself" to be by Teruto's side instead of her. Sakura has almost no memory of Kikka, and while searching for who she is, she believes that Kikka has taken her body instead, so she challenges Kikka to a fight "to get her body back." However, she is defeated and disappears before Teruto and the others' eyes.
