Kars the Superbeing is Born (Story Arc)
Kars the Ultimate Being Is Born (超生物カーズ誕生, Chō Seibutsu Kāzu Tanjō) is the fourteenth and final story arc in Battle Tendency.
Summary
Exploiting the eagerness of the German to finish him off, Kars completes his evolution as the Stone Mask shatters and the Super Aja falls to the ground. Kars stands up, all nervously watching him. At first, Stroheim notes that Kars' arm is still melting, but the latter suddenly transforms his hand into a squirrel, which after a brief frolicking, tears through Stroheim's chest and decimates the soldier. The flesh-eating squirrel returns to Kars and is reabsorbed while morphing into a butterfly and then a flower, Speedwagon realizing that the Pillar Man can now manipulate his body at a genetic level. Everyone is horrified when Kars stands before the rising sun and exults at his newfound greatness; everyone present realizes that their enemy is now invincible.
In the midst of his companion's despair Joseph reveals that he still has his all-or-nothing gambit: Joseph runs away, having grabbed the Super Aja. Kars sees that and sprouts wings, flying after Joseph because he finds it fitting to now end the greatest thorn in his side. Smokey, running after Joseph, tries to tell him that Lisa Lisa is his mother. But Joseph is too distracted to listen before he steals one of the German's airplanes and lures Kars away from the others.
Joseph shoots at Kars with the plane's machine guns, but the Ultimate Being answers with a flurry of razor-sharp scales. Joseph decides to simply fly away, Kars on his trail. Speedwagon contacts Joseph by radio and tries to formulate another plan, but Joseph interrupts him, stating his strategy to make Kars plunge into the lava of the Volcano Island near Italy. Speedwagon protests that it is suicide, but Joseph is resolved to take the risk. The scales from before suddenly transform into piranhas and octopus tentacles who proceed to dismantle the plane. It begins to crash, then Kars spots a parachute. Approaching his prey, Kars realizes that it's only a decoy: Joseph has stayed inside the plane and flies into Kars, bumping him with the nose and intends to dive into the lava.
