Everyone Thought He Was Weak, Until He Awakened His True Power | Anime Recap

Recap / Main Plot

After Dechai’s grades collapse—and he’s revealed to have been dodging school to hide at a game center—his life flips when a mysterious rainbow ring reappears over the islands. The event ties back to his childhood and to the strange boy Teepe (who wears a pendant Dechai once gave him).

What starts as a personal mystery becomes a full-scale threat: a defense system connected to Machine Goodfellow and a terrifying alien-linked force, the Kill T gang, which can drain Orgon energy (human life force) from Earth.

Dechai and his friends repeatedly clash with enemies who can hijack systems, infiltrate headquarters, and activate new Mechas/robots—while uncovering that their world’s “peaceful” space organization (Globe) is really preparing for—and fighting—outside invasions.

Highlights & Key Reactions

• Childhood revelations

  • Dechai learns his father (an astronaut) died after launching a rocket meant to stop something connected to the rainbow phenomenon.
  • The past keeps resurfacing as a reason Dechai feels responsible for the present crisis.

• The first major Mecha battle

  • Dechai pilots the Mecca-like machine (after initially being threatened).
  • In the middle of the fight, he remembers his father—then defeats Moo’s machine by taking direct control.
  • The scene stands out because it marks his shift from “weak” to genuinely competent under pressure.

• Teepe’s role clarified

  • Early on, scientists treat Teepe like an “avatar.”
  • Later, it’s revealed he’s a designer child with special abilities—and he carries heavy emotional burden about what he is and what he may become.

• Hana’s emotional and “singing” power

  • Hana’s condition is repeatedly examined.
  • She can trigger large-scale effects through Orgon-related energy and uses singing to destabilize systems (including shaking an entire headquarters).

• Major betrayal / strategy switch

  • The group repeatedly believes they’re in control.
  • Then they learn the enemies are turning situations around using Orgon energy and hacked systems (including intrusions via disguised personnel and compromised defenses).

• Cube / Pack conspiracy layers

  • Globe HQ faces internal scheming.
  • Cube (and Pack) appears exploitative, forcing frequent questions about who can be trusted—especially when systems “shouldn’t” fail.

• Epic set-piece sequences

  • Space combat: Dechai pilots the Earth Engine while Teepe and Hana support; enemies try to force Kill T gang activation.
  • Earth-based fights in crowded places: The team infiltrates casinos/arenas and battles in public spaces to stop Machine Goodfellow activations before collateral damage.
  • Underwater activation: Machine Goodfellow appears underwater, requiring new combat adaptation.
  • The recurring “ego block” crisis: Teepe’s internal state (and “ego block”) becomes critical—sometimes he’s bound, sometimes he sacrifices himself, and sometimes he “breaks” in ways that affect the battlefield.
  • Hana gets taken hostage—and flips the story: When Hana is used as a shield during a deployment, she seems subdued—until her resolve triggers her Live Blaster power and she escapes to fight back, turning the tide while the main characters survive.

Notable Jokes / Character Moments (Lighter Beats)

• School life comedy

  • Dechai’s “excuses” about grades and his obsession with the game center contrast sharply with the later seriousness of the plot.

• Beach / everyday life scenes

  • After major battles, the story repeatedly adds goofy downtime moments—like playing boomerang together, selling snacks/crepes, and Dechai trying to return to “normal.”

• Akari’s “belly button trick” / embarrassment gags

  • Akari uses it to cheer Dechai up, often causing panic and embarrassment—especially around Hana.

• Sports / casual analogies

  • Teepe’s poetic comparisons and Dechai’s earnestness frequently ease tension right before action resumes.

Main Gear / Power System (Recurring Mechanics)

• Machine Goodfellow

  • A key combat platform linked to the Kill T gang.

• Live Blaster

  • The weapon Hana is tied to using (directly connected to her design purpose).

• Orgon energy

  • Human life force—used by enemies and required to power Kill T gang operations.

• Earth Engine / Nebula engine

  • Large-scale machines used for interception and counterattacks.

Personal Stakes / Relationships

• Dechai + Teepe

  • A childhood connection and an ongoing emotional bond tied to the question: who is Teepe really?
  • Dechai repeatedly refuses to treat Teepe like a disposable tool.

• Dechai + Hana

  • Hana struggles with fear of what she is, guilt, and whether Dechai will reject her.
  • Even so, she keeps saving him—and the island.

• Akari’s identity + loyalty

  • Akari is revealed to be Code, a hacker with her own mission.
  • Despite that, she keeps choosing the group.

• Uncle Tsudamu + Globe secrets

  • Tsudamu carries heavy guilt, keeps secrets, and tries to guide Dechai—without letting him drown in the truth too early.
