Ep 3. Who Are You? Misaki's Heart-Pounding Lesson

Misaki has been training hard since the start of the Angelic Layer competition, but she still has a long way to go. She's determined to do her best, though, and she's excited to continue honing her skills.

In this episode, Misaki faces off against a new opponent, who happens to be an old acquaintance of hers. As she prepares for the match, she realizes that she doesn't really know much about her opponent, and she starts to question whether she's really cut out for the Angelic Layer.

Meanwhile, Misaki's friends are having their own problems. Tamayo is struggling to find a new Angel, and Kotaro is having trouble with his own Angel's special moves. Without Misaki's guidance, they're feeling lost and alone, and they're not sure how to move forward.

As the day of the match arrives, Misaki's nerves are at an all-time high. She knows that she needs to focus on the battle ahead, but she can't shake the feeling that she's in over her head.

When the match finally starts, Misaki quickly realizes that her opponent is much more skilled than she initially thought. She's thrown off balance, and her Angel is struggling to keep up. It looks like all hope is lost.

But just when things seem at their darkest, Misaki receives a sudden burst of inspiration. With renewed vigor, she dives back into the match, determined to give it everything she's got.

In the end, the match is a close one, with both players pushing themselves to their limits. Misaki ultimately emerges victorious, but the experience has left her with a newfound respect for the competition and for her own abilities.

As the episode comes to a close, Misaki looks back on all that she's learned so far, and she realizes that there's still so much left for her to discover. But with her friends by her side and her passion for Angelic Layer burning bright, she's ready to take on whatever challenges come her way.
