(Footsteps)

(Police siren)

(Helicopter flying)

(Police officer) Over here.

(Forensic A) Omuro... Superintendent!

(Omuro Takahiro) Death by freezing...

No, death by burns?

(Forensic B) Half the body shows frostbite, the other half shows burns.

It doesn't make sense...

This is a top-secret case.

Submit reports directly to me.

(All) Yes sir.

(Footsteps)

(Ozawa Sumiko) An impossible crime...

It's been 25 years since the last one.

M-Ms. Ozawa!

Long time no see, Omuro-kun.

No, Superintendent Omuro.

You've really climbed the ladder.

What is the world coming to.

No, the world is full of surprises.

(Forensic B) Hey, isn't that...

(Forensic A) Yeah, Ozawa, the G-Unit director.

I hear the unit is effectively inactive now.

(Sumiko) If the Unknown are reappearing...

(Omuro) Ms. Ozawa, it's still too early to jump to that conclusion.

(Sumiko) Haven't you been resting on your laurels too long?

Your instincts must be dull.

Well, they were never sharp to begin with.

(Forensic B) Man, she's young though.

Isn't she about time to hand in her license?

(Forensic A) That's too harsh.

(Sumiko) Hey, you there!

What did you say?

(Kijima) Don't be rude! Director Ozawa is 3...

23.

(Sumiko) That's overdoing it.

(Kijima) Sorry.

(Kagawa) Director Ozawa's beauty and intellect transcend time and space.

(Kijima) That's it! Exactly!

(Sumiko) Well, we shall meet again soon.

Superintendent.

Be prepared, both of you.

The power of G-Unit will soon be needed.

Finally, it's our turn.

Ruriko-chan will be happy too.

(Sumiko's voice) But what's needed most...

Is Hikawa Makoto.

(Aoi Ruriko) Jeez...

Everyone just keeps stopping wherever they want!

Death penalty! Death penalty!

You too! And this guy!

(Bouncing ball) (Kids laughing)

(Ruriko) Hey, you little brats!

Don't play in the middle of the road!

Hurry up and cross, you brats!

You're a cop, right?

Your language is so rough.

Her personality is way worse.

Only her face is good.

Got a problem with that?

(Kid) Let's go.

(Audible traffic signal)

(Ruriko) Ah, you damn hag!

Why are you moving so slow? Wanna die?

You'll get run over and squashed flat!

(Yawn)

(Ruriko) Don't yawn!

Get in! Come on, hurry up and get in!

(Car speeding)

Hey, hey...

Wait!

Hey! Speeding!

Death penalty!

(Screeching brakes) (Ruriko) Hey! Speeding!

Hey, you!

Speeding! Death penalty!

Ah, Ms. Sumiko!

You're working hard. I was a little worried.

Nationwide traffic deaths exceed 2,000 people.

If I can reduce that number even slightly, it's a great joy.

...If you thought I was going to say that, you're sorely mistaken.

I am the pilot of the G6 System.

Ah, this overwhelming, uncontainable power...

Ugh...

Haha.

Good. That's how you should be.

(Engine revving)

(Ruriko) Ms. Sumiko! Ms. Sumiko!

(Birds chirping)

(Misugi Yoshihiko) It's been nearly 25 years since Restaurant Agito opened.

(Tsugami Shoichi) Thanks to everyone's support.

(Kazaya Mana) Ahh, heaven!

(Misugi Taichi) I wanna marry Shoichi...

...Taichi.

Our reputation has skyrocketed since coming here.

All that steady effort paid off.

It's nothing that great. It's just normal, normal.

But it's a shame.

Turning down Michelin stars and Gault-Millau special awards...

No, no, no. We're normal. Normal is good.

We don't need awards at all.

(Doorbell)

Ah, welcome...

Ms. Ozawa!

Long time no see, Tsugami-kun.

I hope I'm not intruding by coming so suddenly?

(Shoichi) No, not at all.

In fact, you're very welcome.

(Doorbell) (Shoichi) Welcome...

I'm honored to meet the legendary Agito!

You!

Ah... Let me introduce you.

This is Aoi Ruriko.

She's one of the people supporting G-Unit now that Hikawa-kun is absent.

Though she's been seconded to the traffic division, as you can see.

(Shoichi) Well, well.

But, you know...

You're quite different from what I imagined...

You seem so normal, and kind of unreliable...

(Shoichi chuckles) (Ruriko) Maybe I've got the wrong person?

Sorry, she has a sharp tongue.

No, not at all, not at all.

So, what brings you here today?

Ah, well, we need your power again...

Oh, wait a moment. Let me get you some tea.

(Shoichi) Here you go.

It's Shoichi's special almond tofu cocoa.

Delicious!

Ah... Really...

It's a taste that truly soothes the soul.

You seem fulfilled. Your life as a chef.

I enjoy every day.

The customers are kind to me too.

I can tell.

May I ask you something? About Hikawa-san.

It's alright. Hikawa Makoto will definitely return.

I see. I've always believed that too.

Thank you for the cocoa.

Come on, Ruriko. Let's go.

Ah, yes.

(Shoichi) Didn't you have something to talk about...

Don't worry about it.

I'm glad I got to see your cheerful face.

(Shoichi) Ah, that's right.

I'm not... Agito anymore.

Eh? What do you mean?

I can tell.

The power of Agito has faded from my body.

It feels like my body has become lighter, somehow.

I see.

That's good.

It's better that way. For you.

(Bumping sound)

(Prisoners) Hey! Hey!

(Tanaka) Hey, hey, it seems the ex-Detective Hikawa can't even walk straight.

(Prisoners laughing)

(Machinery sounds)

Hey, Hikawa. Hold this down for a sec.

(Hammering) (Hikawa Makoto) Ugh!

(Hiraoka) Are you okay, Hikawa-san?

(Guard) What are you doing?

Tanaka!

(Hikawa groaning)

(Mouse squeaking)

Hey, Hikawa. You look pale.

Probably not getting enough nutrients, huh?

Huh? Heh heh heh.

Here.

Go on, eat up.

Full of vitamins.

(Prisoners laughing)

(Prisoners) Whoa... Ugh.

(Murmurs)

He actually ate it.

(Hiraoka) H-Hikawa-san...

(Tanaka) Hey, eat it like you're enjoying it more.

It's disrespectful to the worm!

(Prisoners laughing)

(Hiraoka) Everyone's ganging up on Hikawa-san just because he used to be a cop...

But, Hikawa-san...

Why don't you resist?

Those guys are just getting more and more confident.

Because they're human.

(Hiraoka) Eh? What do you mean?

Ah... I mean it's nothing special.

More importantly...

Could you give this to Chiki?

Ah, thanks, that helps.

(Chiki squeaking) (Hiraoka) This one's a big eater.

Lately, he's been sleeping inside my pants...

What a troublesome little guy.

But I can't believe Hikawa-san is a murderer.

There must have been some extreme circumstances.

Or maybe it was a wrongful conviction?

Let's drop it.

(Footsteps)

(Burning sound)

Haha.

What? What's going on?

(Person falling) (Woman) Ah!

(Sumiko) Disband G-Unit?

What is the meaning of this?!

(Executive A) There's no meaning.

This is a final decision.

I'm just informing you now.

(Sumiko) That makes no sense!

(Executive B) Calm down.

The world no longer needs the G System.

Are you stupid?

Considering the frequent impossible crimes happening now,

it's clear the G System will be needed!

(Shibukawa) Ha!

(People groaning in pain)

(Kurotani) What!?

Ugh! Guah! Ugh...

(Kurotani groaning)

(Executive C) There are always many incidents resembling impossible crimes around the world.

But there's always some trick behind them.

Impossible crimes are, by definition, impossible. (Sumiko) No! They are possible for the Unknown!

(Executive A) The Unknown disappeared 25 years ago, Ozawa-kun.

(Executive B) Watching Director Ozawa,

It seems you're pining for the Unknown.

(Executives laughing)

(Sipping tea)

What is Superintendent Omuro's opinion?

We intend to prepare a suitable position for Director Ozawa.

A job befitting your accomplishments and age...

Shut up!

I am 23!

(Phone vibrating)

Yes, Ozawa.

(Ruriko) Emergency situation! Deploying G System!

Ruriko?

(Ruriko) Kijima, Kagawa! Ready?

(Kijima) Yes! (Kagawa) OK!

Alright, move out!

(People groaning)

(Radio: Police) From HQ to all units.

Regarding the incident at Kaburada Park,

it is now classified as a special emergency situation...

(Sumiko's voice) As I thought, it's too much for those three.

Hikawa-kun, without you...

(Prisoners chattering)

(Prisoner A) Tanaka-san, did you see the bulletin board?

Some volunteers are coming.

(Tanaka) That's fine.

(Prisoner B) They're gonna give us some good food.

(Tanaka) That'll be nice.

The food here is so monotonous every day.

(Prisoner C) True.

(Yawn)

Oh, another new guy?

(Prisoner A) Looks like we'll have some fun for a while.

(Tanaka) Heh heh, perfect.

I was getting bored with Hikawa anyway.

Hey, new guy!

(Tanaka) Hmph! (Punch)

(Prisoner B) Aniki!

(Prisoners) Whoa!

(Tanaka) Ugh... Ugh...

(Door opens) (Tanaka) Hey, everyone!

Pay your respects to Oyama-sama!

Good work!

(All) Good work!

(Oyama whispering)

(Tanaka) Yes.

Listen up! Oyama-sama loves croquettes!

Hey, everyone, offer them up!

Hurry up, hurry!

Hurry up!

(Prisoner) Offer it to aniki!

(Plate placed)

Hey, Hikawa! You too!

Prison meals are calculated to provide necessary nutrients.

You have to eat it all.

(Hiraoka) Hikawa-san, this is bad.

(Tanaka) You bastard! (Oyama) Stop.

Bold of you. Get up.

No. I'm eating.

(Punch)

(Prisoners jeering)

(Whistle) (Guard) Stop!

(Punch)

(Hiraoka) Please stop!

If you keep this up, he'll die!

(Chiki squeaking)

(Hiraoka) Chiki! (Oyama) Ohh!

This one looks tasty.

(Chiki squeaking)

Ah...

(Swallowing)

Hmm...

Thank you for the meal.

Chiki...

No way...

No way...

Hey! Are you okay!?

You bastard!

(Murmurs)

(Punch) (Oyama) Ugh... Ugh...

No way.

Hikawa was that strong?

Ugh... Ugh...

Blegh.

(Hiraoka) Chiki!

(Oyama's voice) Woooo...

(Prisoners) Huh? Eh, where'd he go?

(Oyama's voice) Ora! (Punch)

(Punch)

(Walking through puddle)

(Approaching footsteps)

(Punch)

(Crash) (Oyama's voice) Ugh!

D-Did you see? Oyama turned transparent, right?

Yeah, yeah...

No way... It was an illusion!

No, he disappeared!

(Tanaka) It ain't no illusion, man!

(Prisoner) He disappeared!

(Hojo Toru) The culprit is...

Inside this room.

At first glance, this situation

looks like an outsider used a rope to enter,

stole the cash from the safe,

and then used the rope to escape again.

That's how it appears.

But this is a misdirection set up by the culprit.

Look at this knot.

It's a knot often used by sailors.

And...

(Employee) Ah...

(Hojo) This tattoo on you.

You used to be a sailor.

Am I wrong?

By the way,

On the night of April 9th last year,

where were you?

Hmph.

Out on the Sea of Japan.

(Female boss) Don't let him get away!

(Hojo) So this case was unrelated too.

(Sumiko) As expected of the great detective, Hojo Toru.

(Hojo) Ms. Ozawa.

(Sumiko) As expected of a former elite from the First Investigative Division.

Even as a private detective, you're quite impressive.

(Hojo) Not at all.

Compared to you, who quit the police, couldn't stand the boredom,

and immediately returned with such brazen audacity,

I am merely a small fry.

(Sumiko) Hehe. Your sharp tongue is still the same.

So, what brings you here?

Going out of your way to see me.

(Sumiko) You know, right? The impossible crimes have started again...

(Hojo) Yes, I saw it online.

But that figure...

(Sumiko) Yes, more like a Gills or Agito than an Unknown...

(Hojo) They're calling it "GilAgito."

In other words, a human who awakened to superpowers. (Sumiko) I need your help.

(Hojo) That's impossible. I am just a private detective now.

(Sumiko) I know why you quit the police.

You were removed from the investigation into the murder of your fiancée, Murano Kasumi.

So you became a detective to find the culprit yourself.

Right?

(Hojo) Why?!

(Chief) This investigation is concluded.

(Hojo) If you'd just let me handle it...

(Chief) Shut up! Get out!

(Door closes)

(Hojo) The culprit is...

Hikawa Makoto.

In fact, he was convicted and is currently imprisoned.

(Sumiko) No.

You believe in Hikawa Makoto's innocence.

More than anyone.

Because you know Hikawa Makoto as a person.

I want to know.

What happened that night.

What took place.

(Murano Kasumi) Thanks for today.

Father always admires your sense of choosing restaurants.

I'm glad to hear that.

But the sauce for the tongue sole bothered me a bit.

The salt seemed a bit strong.

(Kasumi) Hehe.

Looks like life with you will be tough.

I wonder if I can cook to Toru-kun's satisfaction.

(Hojo) It'll be fine.

You have a way with a special ingredient.

"Love," you mean?

Yes, that's it.

(Rain)

You have a way with that special ingredient too, Toru-kun.

Well, see you tomorrow.

(Hojo) That was the last time I saw her.

(Ship horn)

(Passersby) Whoa! Whoa!

(Rouge) Oh my, pretty lady.

No!

(Rouge) Hey, let me see your hand.

Ah...

(Rouge) Come on! Hurry up.

Mwah.

Eh!?

Beautiful, isn't it?

This is your heart.

(Heartbeat)

(Murmurs)

Live on inside me.

I'll take this as a souvenir.

Alright, now I'm motivated!

(People screaming)

(Woman) I'm filming. (Man) Okay.

(Camera shutter)

(People screaming)

(People) Whoa...

(People screaming)

(Crashing into glass)

(Phone notification)

(Sumiko) Emergency situation. It's near here.

(Sigh)

(People screaming)

(Rouge laughing)

(Falling sound)

What in the world...

(Man) Whoa!

(Gunshot)

(Man screaming)

(Gunshot)

(Falling sound)

(GilAgito: Rouge) Now then.

Which one shall it be?

(Sumiko) That's...

(GilAgito: Rouge) You.

(Hojo) Whoa!

(GilAgito: Rouge) A hug from me.

Whoa...

Hojo-kun!

(GilAgito: Rouge) Haha. See you again.

Surely, something like this happened before...

(Shutter) (Hojo) Hey!

What are you taking pictures of!

Hey, don't mess around! (Shutter)

(Rain)

(Omuro) Ms. Ozawa.

What do you want? Calling me out to a place like this.

What's with these obvious lackeys? I told you to come alone.

(Detective A) You bastard...

(Detective B) How dare you speak to the Superintendent like that!

(Sigh)

Are you scared of me? Superintendent?

You've done it now. Disbanding G-Unit.

That's a painfully unfunny joke.

(Omuro) I'm sorry!

I opposed it too, but I was outnumbered...

(Sumiko) I might forgive you.

In return,

transfer the custody of Hikawa Makoto, imprisoned at Mitakegaoka Prison.

Transfer where?

(Sumiko) Anywhere is fine. As long as you transfer him.

Th-That means...

(Sumiko) I absolutely need Hikawa Makoto's power.

(Omuro) That's impossible! I have my position to consider...

I'll hit you. Rock, paper, scissors.

(Omuro) Eep!

(Sumiko) Please.

You were a member of G-Unit too, weren't you?

We fought risking our lives for world peace.

What a coincidence.

I was actually

just considering transferring Hikawa-san's custody too.

What a nice coincidence. I'm so happy.

Let's have yakiniku sometime.

(Hojo) Omuro-san has really climbed the ladder too.

What is the world coming to.

No, the world is full of surprises.

Ms. Ozawa, I can't help but wonder...

Are you planning to steal Hikawa Makoto away?

(Sumiko) Of course.

You're joking!

(Hojo) That's a crime! (Sumiko) Oh my.

So getting me involved was for that purpose...

Even as a detective...

I cannot cooperate with this.

Your stubbornness hasn't changed.

Thin or thick, I am still a former detective.

I'll be taking my leave.

(Sigh)

You were Ms. Ruriko, weren't you?

Working under a boss like that will ruin you as a person.

If anything happens, come find me.

I'll hire you as my assistant.

(Footsteps fading)

Ms. Sumiko, sorry, but I can't cooperate either.

(Sumiko) Oh.

Hikawa Makoto isn't necessary.

I alone am enough.

Next time, I'll beat GilAgito.

(Footsteps fading)

(Prisoner A) I heard Oyama got hospitalized.

(Prisoner B) Yeah, getting beat up like that.

(Prisoner A) Hikawa's scary...

Hey, you guys!

Pay your respects to Hikawa-sama!

(Tanaka) Good work! (All) Good work!

No, no, no. You don't have to do that.

Please sit down.

(Tanaka) Sit down, you!

(Hiraoka) Oh, that's right. Today's the volunteer day.

"Agito"?

Tsugami-san!

Long time no see, Hikawa-san.

(Shoichi) Come on, everyone! Please enjoy!

(Hands together) (Prisoners) Thank you for the meal!

Delicious!

(Shoichi) My goodness, Hikawa-san. Still so clumsy.

C-Clumsy?

That's not true.

For this, you just eat it with a spoon.

Alright, here you go.

Too good!

Right? It's chilled tofu with fresh cream and fond de veau.

Hey, you guys!

Hikawa-sama seems to like chilled tofu!

Offer it!

(Hikawa) No, no! It's okay!

Really, it's okay.

(Tanaka) But...

More than that, won't you sing a song for us?

(Tanaka) Huh? A song?

(Hikawa) Yes. Music makes the meal even more enjoyable.

(Tanaka & others) Yes!

(Beautiful singing: Ave Maria)

(Chiki squeaking)

(Shoichi) Hmm, it's a good prison.

Ah!

Oh!

Ah!

Oh!

(Shoichi) You're innocent, aren't you? Hikawa-san.

There's no way Hikawa-san would kill someone.

Especially not Hojo-san's lover...

Can I ask? What exactly happened?

Ah, if you don't want to talk about it...

No...

It was truly a coincidence.

I had just moved at the time.

Hojo-san's fiancée lived in the same apartment.

(Hikawa) Ah... (Kasumi) What floor?

7th floor. Sorry.

Ah...

(Hikawa) It was sudden.

She started struggling...

(Hikawa) What's wrong? Are you okay?

(Falling sound)

No pulse.

(Phone operation)

(Dialing)

(Hikawa) Hello.

I need an ambulance. The address is...

(Hikawa) It was strangulation.

In a sealed room with just the two of us.

She was strangled.

It's strange, isn't it.

Yes.

Even the security camera footage

points to me as the culprit...

But that can't be right.

There must be some trick to it.

I met Ms. Ozawa the other day.

(Hikawa) Was she well?

(Shoichi) Yes.

Did you know?

There are mysterious murders happening frequently outside.

Seemingly caused by superpowers.

Superpowers?

(Shoichi) Ms. Ozawa came to ask for my help.

I think that's why she came.

But I'm not Agito anymore...

I see.

Ms. Ozawa surely needs your power, Hikawa-san.

To fight the enemy.

(Hikawa) Enemy?

(Shoichi) Yes.

It's been a big topic online.

Something like Gills, something like Agito...

(Hikawa) What is it...

To find that out,

we need you, Hikawa-san.

Hikawa-san, you don't need to be in a place like this, right?

Since you're innocent.

(Prison van siren)

Alright? Kijima-kun, Kagawa-kun.

Just stand there.

(Both) Yes.

(Brakes)

(Sumiko) Oh, you're together too?

How thoughtful of you.

Now, hand over Hikawa Makoto.

No, prisoner Hikawa is not here.

Ozawa Sumiko, you are under arrest.

Charges: attempted kidnapping, obstruction of justice, and coercion.

You...

You tricked me? Me?

For the good of the world.

You are a dangerous individual.

(Guard) Good work.

The inmates were delighted.

Not at all, it was my pleasure.

Hey, you.

Your button is loose. It looks like it's going to fall off.

Phew...

(Sumiko) You've got to be kidding me.

Did you think I'd comply quietly?

(Omuro) Yes.

You have a conscience too.

Surely you can't bring yourself to hurt the officers.

You...

(Phone vibrating)

Ms. Ozawa, it's Hikawa. I'm with Tsugami-san right now.

Huh? What does that mean?

Where are you now, Ms. Ozawa?

(Phone: Sumiko) It's kind of a troublesome situation.

Tsugami-san, please take the wheel.

Eh? Okay.

This feels bad, doesn't it, Kagawa-kun.

It really does, Kijima-kun.

(Screeching brakes)

(All) Whoa!

(Guns drawn)

Omuro-san, we'll be taking Ms. Ozawa back.

Hikawa-san, why...

Could it be Tsugami-san?

Sorry.

And I'm even more sorry, but please give us Ms. Ozawa.

(Car approaching)

(Brakes)

Hojo-san, you too...

I apologize.

However...

(Hojo & others) At this point, there's no choice.

(Both) Hojo-san!?

(Omuro) Hojo! Hojo! Hojo! Hojo-san!?

It's been a while since I've done this...

Haaa...

Please stop!

I-I understand! I understand!

Hikawa-kun.

This is...

Ugh...

(Passerby) Are you okay?

(Passerby) Ambulance! Call an ambulance!

(Passersby screaming)

(Hikawa) I managed to escape thanks to Tsugami-san.

I see.

Even without being able to transform, you're still Tsugami Shoichi.

I'm glad I could be of help.

And speaking of Hojo-kun's ability...

It's a superpower, right?

(Clears throat)

(Phone vibrating)

Ms. Sumiko! I'm deploying the G6 System!

Ruriko.

Hikawa-kun, immediately, deploy.

Yes!

Ugh... Ahh...

♪ Spring has come, spring has come.

♪ Where has it come?

This is...

(GilAgito: Kito) ♪ To the mountains.

Surface temperature control. Blow activated!

Eh! Ah!

(Rough breathing)

Ah... A human?

(Orochi falling)

Ahh...

Oraa! Hmph!

Woo!

(G6) Ugh... Ugh...

(GilAgito: Hayami) Ha! (G6) Ahh!

Ugh...

(Alarm)

Damn. The enemy is human.

Hikawa Makoto has trauma from fighting humans.

(Past Hikawa) That's enough!

(Hojo) What are you hesitating for, Hikawa-san!

Whoa!

If this continues, many people will die!

Honestly... Pathetic!

This isn't the time to be stuck on basics!

Huff... Huff...

Ngh!

Wooo!

Wooooo!

(G Buckle) Limiter released. Overdrive.

(G7) Ha!

(GilAgito: Kito) ♪ Spring... has... come...

(Explosion)

Whoa!

Hmm?

(G7) Are you okay?

Huff...

(Footsteps fading)

(Hojo) Congratulations on your escape, Hikawa-san.

Hojo-san.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

You are innocent.

But you remained silent throughout your arrest.

Why didn't you plead not guilty?

(Hikawa) I am a police officer.

I value objectivity.

Based on the circumstances, no one else could have been the culprit.

I have no evidence to prove my innocence.

That's why...

(Hojo) What if the real culprit is a superhuman?

Someone who can kill remotely.

Given recent events, that's plausible.

By the way, will you cooperate with us, Hojo-kun?

My detective instincts are simply tingling.

The mystery of Kasumi-san's murder surely

is connected to these incidents involving superhumans.

Speaking of superpowers, you have one too, Hojo-kun.

Why do you think that?

I don't know.

It felt like something suddenly took root inside me.

(Sumiko) Ruriko?

I hated Hikawa Makoto long before we ever met.

I'm not your pawn!

(Sumiko) Where are you going?

To the mountains.

I'll definitely surpass Hikawa-san.

Ms. Ozawa, she's...

Don't worry. She'll come back croaking like a frog eventually.

(Kurotani) Um, excuse me.

Who are you?

My name is Kurotani.

You're fighting superhumans, right?

I want to fight too. I'm also a superhuman.

(Clap) (Kurotani) Yes.

Everyone, please step back.

(Hikawa) Okay.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Waaaa!

(Continuous gunfire)

This is amazing!

Passed!

(Kurotani) Thank you very much!

(Kijima) This is kind of creepy, Kagawa-kun.

Same here, Kijima-kun.

(Omuro) Ms. Ozawa!

(Hikawa) Omuro-san.

(Omuro) I'm sorry!

I've been thinking about it a lot since then.

Please, let me fight alongside you too!

Failed!

(Both panting)

(Falling sound)

(Hojo) Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?

(Patients groaning)

(Sumiko) The diagnosis is necrosis.

Necrosis.

That's the diagnosis.

And apparently, similar patients have been appearing frequently in the last few days.

(Hikawa) Could this be related to the recent incidents...

(Noise)

What's wrong?

(Hikawa) No, I thought I sensed someone.

Sorry, it was nothing.

Hikawa-san, you said earlier.

"There is no evidence of my innocence."

Yes.

There is evidence.

You.

Your very existence is proof of your innocence.

Hojo-san...

Incidentally,

what do you think, Hikawa-san? About these incidents.

There's a surge of people awakening to superpowers, including myself.

Serial murders by them.

People suffering from unexplained necrosis.

I regret killing the GilAgito we fought. If we could have restrained them, we could have gotten information.

(Hojo) This is just my detective's rambling, but...

Isn't there a rule to investigating serial cases?

The rule for serial cases...

Of course.

There must be some common factor.

(Omuro) I investigated the identity of the deceased GilAgito.

Kito Haruma, a former nursery teacher.

"Former" meaning he had quit his job?

Yes. About two years ago, he developed ALS, a terminal illness.

He was forced to leave the nursery.

ALS?

He certainly didn't look like it.

According to the hospital, his condition progressed, reaching its terminal stage last year.

That's when Kito suddenly stopped visiting the hospital.

The concerned hospital called him to recommend hospitalization.

They said he refused.

He claimed he was "fully recovered and fine."

Fully recovered...

A terminal patient?

(Phone operation)

Did you find a lead?

(Hikawa) Yes.

That was definitely a scar from throat cancer surgery.

Terminal stage too.

They probably removed his vocal cords, but...

He was speaking normally.

Another terminally ill patient fully recovers and manifests superpowers...

Yes.

There it is. The common factor.

(Shopkeeper) Yes, coming up.

(Chopping)

Hey boss, didn't the tempura get smaller?

(Sniff)

(Shopkeeper) Coming right up.

Tempura, on the house.

(Customer) Thanks for the meal, boss!

Sure thing.

Ah, what should I do now?

I left in such a cool way, but...

Should I actually go to the mountains?

(Boiling sound)

Huh?

(Injection)

(Doctor) This should make you better.

(Patient) Thank you so much.

(Patient's husband) Um, about the payment...

For now...

(Doctor) Don't worry about it.

Your wife's life has infinite possibilities.

That is my joy.

(Door opens)

(Patient's husband) Thank you.

(Door opens)

(Keyboard typing)

(Hikawa) Kino-san.

(Kino Kaoru) You're... Hikawa-san, right?

Long time no see.

(Hikawa) I never imagined you'd be alive.

(Kino) You could say I returned from hell.

So, how did you find this place?

I thought I had erased all traces.

(Hikawa) Yes. It took quite some effort.

There must be a hospital that gathers only terminally ill patients for treatment.

But you don't charge for treatment, so there's no record.

Fortunately, I was able to identify two superhumans.

By cross-referencing their GPS logs, I found this place.

(Kino) I see.

So this is what they call the digital age.

(Hikawa) Please answer me voluntarily.

What is happening?

Why do patients treated by Kino-san become superhumans? And why do superhumans commit serial murders?

And patients with necrosis...

They consistently develop it after being attacked by superhumans.

What on earth is... (Choking)

(Thud)

(Kino) Stop it, Rouge.

He has value to us.

Hah!

(Kino) My apologies for earlier.

She's not a bad person, but...

(Hikawa) Is she also a superhuman?

(Kino) A creation of mine.

Hehe.

It started when

I obtained the corpse of Gills.

The dying Ashihara Ryo came to me.

But I couldn't save him, he was too weak.

I extracted the Agito factor from this body.

(Hojo) Ms. Ozawa.

Another version of me is listening to Kino Kaoru right now.

Kino Kaoru?

He's alive?

Yes.

He obtained Gills' body...

(Kino) I injected the Agito factor into my patients.

Why would you do that...

(Kino) The Agito factor turns humans into superhumans,

and eventually into GilAgito.

This is evolution itself.

My despair is over.

(Hikawa) Why make them attack people?

(Kino) It's selection.

Awakened superhumans emit the Agito factor,

infecting others.

Infected individuals awaken faster in crisis situations.

But those who fail to awaken usually

suffer total body necrosis and die.

Nonsense!

How can sacrificing so many be human evolution?

You were a doctor!

Your job is to save people!

Then let me make a proposition as a doctor.

If you inject the anti-Agito factor substance...

In exchange for providing this anti-factor agent,

G-Unit is to be disbanded.

And you will not interfere with our sacred mission.

Refused!

But I'll take the medicine.

Ugh...

How foolish. Such a good deal.

Stop it.

He's manipulating you, Kino.

Ugh...

(Rouge) You stop! No more insults to Kino-sensei!

We were abandoned by other hospitals and saved by Kino-sensei!

We will fulfill Kino-sensei's mission!

(Hikawa) Ugh...

(Hojo) Ugh...

Ughhh...

Ahh...

Ugh!

(Rouge) Hmph!

(Hojo) Ahh...

(Hikawa) Hojo-san!

Whoa...

(Hojo) Hikawa-san!

(Hikawa) Ngh!

Ugh...

Oraa!

(Tank shattering)

(Hikawa) Let's go!

Time to move on.

(Sumiko) Hikawa-kun, Hojo-kun.

I heard from the other Hojo-kun that Kino is alive.

We need to get our hands on the anti-factor agent somehow.

(Rough breathing)

(Hojo) That's the anti-Agito factor...

Oyama-san!

Who?

I have fallen for Hikawa-san!

Hikawa-san is a real man!

Eh, so you escaped and followed me?

Yes, sorry!

Um, was I able to be of any help?

Absolutely! You were a huge help!

(Car approaching)

Ms. Ozawa!

Please, let me join you too!

I thought I'd been quite cooperative!

(Sumiko) Omuro-kun...

Take this to the hospital.

What is it?

Is it okay for me to do it?

Yes. I trust you.

For the time we spent together in the G3 Unit.

(Omuro) Yes, I'll do my best!

Kurotani-kun, go with him as a bodyguard.

Leave it to me!

(Rouge) Give that anti-factor agent back!

(Omuro) Whoa!

Ugh...

Hojo-san!

(Hojo) We're the ones who want it back.

Go, everyone.

(Oyama's voice) Woooo...

Hmph! Huh! (Punches)

Let's go!

Hikawa-san.

I know who the culprit is.

Of Kasumi-san's murder.

(Hikawa) Eh?

You are the one who killed Kasumi-san.

I'll be taking that ruby ring back.

Hmm?

Oh...

That woman.

(Kasumi) You have a way with that special ingredient too, Toru-kun.

Well, see you tomorrow.

(Rouge) A pretty one.

(Thud)

I'll take this as a souvenir.

Mwah.

She was a good woman.

That's why I killed her.

(Choking)

(Rouge) There we go.

I'll send you to her right away.

Mwah.

(Gasping)

Hojo-san!

Haaaah... Hmph!

(Hikawa) Woooo!

(Shibukawa) Hah!

(Screeching brakes)

(Kurotani) Omuro-san! (Omuro) Yes!

(Kurotani) Continuous fire!

Huh! Huh!

(Hitting racket)

Go, Omuro-san!

(Omuro) Yes!

(Ping pong ball rolling)

Ha!

Don't underestimate me!

(Hojo & Hikawa) Whoa...

Haaaah...

Woooo...

Hmph!

(Hikawa) Hojo-san!

(Both) Ugh! Ahh...

(GilAgito: Rouge) Ahahaha!

You two are finished.

Don't mock me.

Your soul deserves prison!

Hmm?

Huh?

(Deep inhalation)

(G6) Hah! (Hayami) Ugh...

I knew it.

You can only stop time while holding your breath.

Ah...

Sigh...

(Alarm)

Disengage?

Ruriko, what's wrong?

(Monitor: Ruriko) Just leave it to me.

Wh-What?

Huff... Huff...

(Ruriko) How about that?

Exciting, right?

You can't hold your breath!

(Ruriko) Huh! (Hayami) Whoa!

(Falling)

I'll show you my new power!

Huh! Ha!

Woooo...

(Kurotani) I'm sorry! (Ruriko) You okay?

Sorry.

(Ruriko) Ha!

Hikawa-kun, use the drone!

Limiter released. Overdrive.

(GilAgitos) Whoa!

(GilAgitos groaning)

(G7) Huh! Ha!

(Kino) Why don't you understand?

Kino!

I have always...

Despaired at myself, at human weakness, at human foolishness.

Kino...

Sensei...

(Kino) What I'm doing is reforming humanity.

Contributing to evolution.

Why can't you see that?

(G7) No!

Evolution isn't something given by someone else!

It's achieved by overcoming hardship, overcoming oneself,

again and again!

Then I'll show you the final destination of humanity!

Hmph!

Transform!

Woooo...

(Shining GilAgito's roar)

(Wind)

(Washing ingredients)

(Trinity GilAgito) Ugh...

(G7) Guah...

Bang!

Hah!

(G7) Huh! Hmph!

(Both) Ha!

(Shining GilAgito groaning)

(Trinity GilAgito) Good!

(G7) What!? He's absorbing his allies!

(Trinity GilAgito) That's disgusting.

(Roar)

(Trinity GilAgito) What!?

Whoa...

(Bike approaching)

(Screeching brakes)

Hikawa-san!

Tsugami-san!

I'll fight too.

Agito, once more, give me power...

Huh!

Transform!

(Agito & G7) Ha!

(Kurotani) Bang, bang, bang!

(G7) Ha!

(Trinity GilAgito) Take this!

Huh! Ha!

(Trinity GilAgito) Ha!

Haaaah...

(Both) Ha!

(Shining GilAgito groaning)

(G Buckle) Limiter released. Overdrive.

Ha!

Ha!

(Sumiko) Tsugami-kun.

As I thought, Agito's power hasn't fully returned.

(G7) Tsugami-san.

(Agito) Not enough...

(G7) Ha! (Trinity GilAgito) Huh!

(G Buckle) Limiter released.

Overdrive. Overdrive.

(Agito) Hikawa-san...

Overdrive.

Overdrive.

(Sumiko) Hikawa-kun, what are you doing!

Stop! You'll overload!

(G Buckle) Overdrive.

(Trinity GilAgito) Hikawa-san...

(Trinity GilAgito) Fuuu... Ha!

(Kurotani) Bang!

(G7) Tsugami-san's power too... If we combine our powers!

(Agito) I see... Maybe...

Haaaah...

Ahh... Ugh...

Haaaah...

(Alarm) (Sumiko) It's already over 3 times the critical point!

Disengage now!

Thank you for everything, Ms. Ozawa.

No! Hikawa-kun!

Ha!

Haaah!

Haaaah!

(G Buckle) Overdrive. Overdrive.

No way...

No, Hikawa-san!

H-Hikawa-san!

Woo!

Fuuu...

(G Buckle) Overload.

Haaaah!

Taah!

(Explosion)

Hikawa-kun!

(Trinity GilAgito) No way...

Huh... Hmph...

Ah!

(Hojo) Hikawa-san... Hikawa-san!

(Shining GilAgito) Impossible...

I will surely return.

Again and again.

From the depths of hell...

(Explosion)

Huff...

(Omuro) Huff... Huff...

(Omuro) Please! (Doctor) Understood.

(Server) Sorry for the wait.

(Hikawa & others) Cheers!

I'm amazed at you. Of all things, you self-destructed.

Sorry.

I had no choice but to do it...

(Hojo) Honestly...

If Oyama-san hadn't been there...

That was teleportation, right?

Amazing.

It was my first time too.

But for Hikawa-san, I'd do anything...

I realized. I can't beat Hikawa-san.

Ahh, I guess I need to be more honest too.

It's fine. Just be yourself.

Yeah! More draft beer!

...Hikawa-san?

(Hikawa) I... I did it!

I... I finally did it!

I don't quite understand.

It may be a small step for humanity,

but for Hikawa-san, it's a great leap forward.

Haha.

Eventually, all of humanity will evolve.

Voluntarily, without being forced by Kino.

Ah, speaking of "voluntarily,"

I'm thinking of turning myself in tomorrow.

It'll be fine, Hikawa-san.

I'll reveal the truth of Kasumi-san's death,

and prove your innocence.

No, I mean, since I escaped, there's the charge of escaping custody...

(Sumiko) Come to think of it, I also have obstruction of justice.

(Hojo) Come to think of it, I have the same... I suppose.

Come to think of it, I also...

(Omuro) Hey, Ms. Ozawa! That's not fair!

Why am I the only one being left out?

(Sumiko) Fine, fine. Just eat all you want.

(Everyone laughing)

More draft beer!

(Misugi) Hmm, good!

Perfect!

Mana-chan, is married life going well?

(Misugi) Well, we're separated right now.

Always worrying me. Hehe.

Mana's sister has a strong personality.

It's fine, she's beautiful.

(Shoichi) Come to think of it, I'll have to close the shop for a while.

(Misugi) Huh? And why's that?

(Shoichi) I'm turning myself in to the police.

...What did you do, Shoichi-kun?

Aiding a prisoner's escape, obstruction of justice...

I think I did some property damage too?

Well then, shall we go?

Yes, let's go.

Hey!

(Ruriko) Please come back soon.

I'll bring you goodies when I visit.

I'll do what I can too.

(Shoichi) Wait a minute!

Can I come too?

Tsugami-san! Of course!

(Ruriko) This looks like fun.

I'm jealous.

Property damage! I'll turn myself in too!

(Loudly) Whoa! Wow!

Noise violation! I'll turn myself in!

(Omuro) Wha!? A-Anyway, I'll turn myself in too!

Come on, let's go.

(All) Yes!
