... I did because I can.

The same reason - Zero.

What are they for? We do just fine.

It is a training programme, Sakagami Kouya. A school does not exclude other possible pupils from its programme because its current pupils do well.

As there are more than two Zeros, this is something new to the System - a new style, a new study. Like interchangeable parts, but with Fighters and Sacrifices, as the machines. It is beyond your performance with your Sacrifice, in short, and not something personal, Sakagami Kouya. Do you understand more?

So they aren't... replacements?

They could be.

If Yamato fails you as a Sacrifice, she can be replaced - we discussed this.

But in the sense that you two are possibly now obsolete, and will be replaced by new Zeros - the challenge is to prove to me that you don't need to be, isn't it?

Once LOVELESS has had his chip removed, we'll prove it.

Good. I expect as much. Failure is, as you know, not an option - even here. This is your second chance, so don't you dare mess up.

We would have succeeded last time if you hadn't changed the rules the rules hadn't been changed. We'll win again this time.

You're getting a second chance, Sakagami Kouya. Just beat them.
