My body starts to melt

It was waiting for this miracle

009

You've got the chance to express you

Here comes the imagination

Time, place

Truth and lies

Joy and sorrow

Kindness, hateness

Happiness, sadness

Smile, tears, friendship

Alone, together, birth

Death, sleep, fight

Space and oneself

In that promised place

I feel it once again

The spreading of a dream that's come true

I start running today too

Are we fighting a meaningless battle?

The Mutant Warriors Arc Part 4

Episode 42: To Tomorrow...

All of our minds?

Yes. If everyone is thinking about their friend and their minds become one,

then that one-mind will reach 009, wherever he is.

In that moment, I'll send all of you there.

What? Is that the only method?

It's the only way.

Seriously?

Aren't you coming along?

I came here without telling anyone.

I can't let him know.

You mean Gamo?

Well, this is obviously a trap.

In the end, she sends us away, and it's goodbye for good.

I think if this were a trap, she'd have a better story.

At least one that you wouldn't be suspicious of.

What was that?!

I agree.

But a one-way trip is a bitter pill to swallow.

Is there a way we can get back?

Rina is over there.

She doesn't have experience,

but if there's someone with whom her mind can become one,

it wouldn't be so difficult for her to do a Synchro-warp.

I'm sure Rina can do it!

Yeah, but it's sink or swim!

Let's do it.

It's always been sink or swim for us, but we've made it this far.

Let's get started.

Joe, can you hear me?

We can't... We can't defeat Black Ghost?

Joe, can you hear me? Joe!

This isn't working! It's stupid!

Like you're trying to trick children!

002...

I can't send you anywhere as long as there's doubt in your mind.

Let's try again, 002!

Joe, can you hear me?

Joe!

Francoise?

Everyone...

I hear everyone...

009!

Can you hear me?! Answer me!

009! 009!

Answer us!

009! 009!

Please!

009! 009!

009! 009!

They're in sync...

009! 009!

009! 009!

009!

009!

009!

Save Rina, too.

For Phil's sake!

You betrayed me.

I guessed you would come here.

Kane, knock her out like you did with Phil and put her in there.

Shall we take 001, as long as we're here?

Someone's coming! Hide!

What's wrong?! Hide!

It can't be...

G-Guys!

Black Ghost is even in the future?

No way!

It was all for nothing?!

Everything we've done...

This isn't the time to think about that.

Right. Let's think about getting back home.

You'll do it, right, that Synchro-warp thing?

You're the only one we can count on.

I try.

If Mi said I could do it, I'm sure she's right.

All right. Let's go!

Wait!

Here.

It's important to you, isn't it?

Nikol...

Thank you.

But this is going to become important for all of you.

This is a Synchro-warp auxiliary device.

With this, even I can do a Synchro-warp.

Do we still have a ways to go?

To those ruins or whatever?

We're almost there.

Why do we have to go to that particular place?

We used that field when we traveled to the past before.

We have to use that field's power to be sure we'll land in the past.

Why are there sweepers all over?

There weren't before?

The place was totally unguarded before.

Because they were just ruins, not special to anyone.

Then we're in an age where they are special.

In other words, after you guys traveled to the past from here, they realized,

and we're in a time period when they know.

So those sweepers are representatives of Black Ghost?

Rumble?

Let's hurry!

Reinforcements will be here soon!

What should we focus on?

Think about your era.

A memory you all share or a person or place.

A memory we share...

Pretty much just fighting.

Then a person?

In that case, Dr. Gilmore!

Yeah.

All right, let's get started!

Nikol, lend me your power!

This child always did sleep a lot.

You've got some gall!

That isn't his normal sleeping state! You put him to sleep!

I didn't want to get Ivan involved in this war.

After everything, now you're acting like a father?!

Don't make me laugh!

Say what you like.

I'm sure you know that in this world, nothing is as valuable as research!

I'm sure you know that in this world, nothing is as valuable as research!

You mean, not even Ivan?

Should Ivan be pleased that you traded him for "research?!"

You're inhuman!

As far as I'm concerned, you lack the proper disposition to be a scientist.

Not even bothering to increase the efficiency of your research materials...

Research materials?

Don't make me spell it out for you!

The cyborgs!

Don't speak such idiocies! They're not research materials!

At least I've shown them all infinitely more love than you have for van!

Don't talk like you have all the answers!

Is there... Is there any parent who doesn't love their own child?!

It's not working. I can't sync you up.

Why not?

It's 009.

Me?!

009, you're subconsciously afraid of going back home.

Afraid?

Because when you go back home, you're going to have to fight again.

Because you'll have to face a meaningless war.

009, right now you can't think of stuff like that.

You're not the only one who's shaken up.

I know, but I've always fought because I believed in the future.

I've fought all this time because I had faith in a peaceful future someday.

And yet...

Joe...

More sweepers are coming!

What?!

Hey, you!

Is that all you want to say?

009, don't get the wrong idea.

I have no recollection of fighting because I had faith in some predestined future.

But...

Changing the future into the form we want...

I believe in that possibility and in my friends here!

Friends?

That faith is needed now more than ever.

Let's go home, Joe.

To our own era.

Yeah.

All right, one more time!

Hurry!

Where are we?

This obviously isn't Gilmore's neighborhood.

Were we able to make it back to our own era?

This isn't our time!

They really did show up.

I guessed they would aim for Gilmore's place.

But I knew they couldn't make it without Mi's help.

The fools.

It seems we did make it back to our own time.

But they sent out the welcome wagon?

The doctor and 001 are inside?!

What?!

Shall we get started, Kane?

Beat them to a pulp!

Don't!

Don't do this, Gamo!

Ivan, wake up! Wake up!

You're annoying me!

That's...

I'm impressed you made it back, Rina.

Kane, stop doing this!

Gamo has tricked you!

You mean he stole my memories?

Sorry, Rina, but I regained my memories quite some time ago.

I knew it.

I knew what we were and why we came to this era.

Then... Then why...?!

Because I was disappointed.

Disappointed?

I'm sure you felt it too.

While we were traveling through space-time,

scenes from various eras kept flashing through my head.

Most of them were scenes of carnage.

Human history is a history of war.

Rina, even if we defeated Black Ghost, there would still be wars.

This is human nature!

You're wrong! Nikol and the rest of us had faith that we could prevent the war!

Don't tell me you... Nikol...

Nikol didn't experience the hyper-aging effect, Rina.

Kane... Then you did...

We were almost lost in the Labyrinth, remember?

That was the cause of the hyper-aging.

The Labyrinth...

But Nikol was separated from us before we got swept into the Labyrinth,

so he wasn't affected.

Nikol appeared closer to the present than the rest of us.

He found out that Gamo had erased our memories and apparently went to see Gamo.

He was going to set us free.

But then...

It's just as you imagine.

Gamo wouldn't just let him go.

Gamo gave me an order.

To kill Nikol, who went to the cyborgs looking for help.

That's when you got your memories back?

I already had them back by then.

I knew who Nikol was.

Why?!

I'm enjoying the present more than I thought I would.

He was just a hindrance to me.

I'll never forgive you!

What will you do about it?

Don't!

Rina!

Rina!

Joe... Stop Kane.

It looks like we can finally finish our duel.

If the history of wars disappointed you, why do you want to fight?!

Maybe I didn't explain myself enough.

I was disappointed, but I understood.

What?!

I understood that humans will always keep fighting.

And that fighting is fun, as long as you have power.

I discovered just how much fun it is to fight!

Only destruction is waiting at the end of a war!

Some people want that, too!

In our era, it seemed that Black Ghost was seeking the destruction of everything!

In the end, that's the logical conclusion of human pleasure!

Wrong!

The future... People can live on because there's a future!

People can survive because they're able to change the future!

Enough!

Your weakness!

W-What did you do?!

I read Gilmore's mind and investigated.

The structure of your body.

All it takes to cripple you is for one small part to break.

Being a cyborg is surprisingly inconvenient.

I can finally taste victory.

This is a magnificent moment.

People must fight so they can feel pleasure like this.

Nikol, lend me your power.

What are you doing?!

Rina, get off of me!

Nikol!

You mean to send me away with Synchro-warp?!

Stop! Stop it, Rina!

No!

Goodbye, Phil.

Kane! What's wrong, Kane?!

Rina!

You won't be able to break that shield.

You'll break all the bones in your hands first.

Rina!

W-What's happening?!

Phil!

Phil, you...

Rina... Sis...

Wake up! Wake up, van!

I won't... I won't let you die!

Ivan, this surgery is the only way to cure your disease.

It's the only way to save your life!

Ivan!

What are you going to do now?

Wanna come with us?

I'm sure our original objectives were the same.

Look.

The future has begun to change.

I'm not allowed to exist in this world any longer.

You should use your power to go back into the past.

If you do that, you should be able to exist then.

We were prepared to die when we came to this world in the first place.

I have no regrets.

Dr. Gilmore, thanks to you, we were able to know what peace is.

The future can be changed.

Black Ghost can be defeated for good.

I believe that.

Thank you.

I don't know what to say, but Ivan...

Gamo actually...

I know. I know, Dr. Gilmore.

There have been many battles, one after another.

We've overcome countless predicaments and our bond has become stronger for it.

This war hasn't been for nothing.

That's the only thing I believe in.

Black Ghost is an immeasurably huge enemy.

The time for the final battle is at hand.

Next time on Cyborg 009:

Next time on Cyborg 009:

Episode 43: Cataclysm.

The final battle begins.
