Summary:
Ashiya Lime romanticized he was Atlantis' saviour, but it's revealed he's the destroyer. How hard is it for him to raise his hands against the people who called him a friend?
He thought he could salvage Atlantis, but his reason for existing – the true reason for his birth – was Atlantis' radioactive ruin.
That's the gag.
Boy or super-science-created monster, he was alone. The fight, be it up till now against Ozma – his imagined enemy – or against Jinpei and the others, he always insisted he fight alone. Friendship and love were luxuries he and Atlantis couldn't afford if he intended to bring Ozma down. At least, that was his calculation before Ozma resonated with his heart.
Lime wasn't just sentient energy abruptly born of the city's Ozma Core. He wasn't a harmless organism like the Enemo the Atlanteans kept as pets. He was Ozma's core, the heart of the destroyer! The inflated significance he fabricated and fooled his solitary self into following when he first woke up and saw that thing rampaging out of control…It was the reverse of reality.
"I am Ozma!"
Atlantis' cutting-edge use of infinite energy nursed innumerable positives, yet their future minds would use it to build weapons.
Humans deemed the sacrifice difficult, but for Lime, who wasn't human, Mother Earth mustn't cease running wild. Earth itself was at stake.
Funny that as Amana-sama's right hand, his hands always acted at a distance.
His undercover role on the Student Council at Y High School.
Striking with four extra arms as Ashura Gilfer while his two remained crossed.
Converting a limb into an energy whip to protect Fubuki from falling debris.
He'd employ duplicity and violence to accomplish Amana-sama's mission, though he reserved his fists.
Now, his actual hands were turned on the Y Academy and Y High School students he recruited to help.
Hammering Deep Shadow Ancient towards the canyon.
Throwing Shikkokumaru around and catching his heavy-knuckled punches.
In an instant, Lime knew everything, yet his read on Jiba Jinpei stayed mysteriously tiny, more so after Jinpei extracted him out of Ozma's body.
Why did Jinpei save him? Why would he risk dooming everyone to save one life, whose office it was to take innocent lives?
Senpai didn't understand. Initiation, please!
Was there rationale for them looking alike? Did Ozma see the future and implement this?
Atlantean science begat a monster science was useless against. Had the planet, in the future, begat Jinpei to neutralize its destructiveness in the past and prove humans capable of supervising the planet?
"I'm not human!" Lime roars, but Jinpei continues calling him such.
"I'm not your friend! If I'd been born differently, we could've been!" Lime regrets, but Jinpei's opinion of him doesn't change.

"Jinpei! What am I to you?"
"Lime! You're my friend! You're human! You're my doppel-fu-fu!"
