The fair finally begins, however, the audience is less than supportive of the GunBuild-2’s Gunvarrel design.
(From the official episode guide)

After clearing many hurdles, Aki and Kai finally arrive at the Tokyo World Fair. However, the GunBuild-2 is criticized by the audience for its Gunvarrel appearance. Akiho pleads with the audience, earnestly sharing her feelings about her fascination with Gunvarrel and robots, which resonates with a portion of the crowd.

Meanwhile, Misaki, who for some reason has been avoiding Akiho, is also at the fair promoting the Exoskeleton robots. It seems strange that seven years have passed since their last meeting and that Misaki doesn’t even seem to care.

The confrontation among Exoskeleton Inc. and the giant robot Sumeragi left great cause for concern among those at the fair. What will the company do from here on? And where was Misaki going wearing the full body exoskeleton? The story is finally moving toward its climax.
