Dammit! What the hell's going on?

Just kill him already!

I'm trying to, but he won't die!

There's only one of him!

He's one of those monsters!

The government scum are sending in monsters!

Stop screwing around!

Aim for his head! Stop screwing around!

Aim for his head!

Go! Kill him!

I've got this!

Hey, kid.

Get back in there.

He's a soldier of god! A sol-

I said get back in there!

Hah! Some soldier of god! Take that! Take that!

Take that!

I killed... your god!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

University exam preparation

Saturday is the standardized practice exam, right?

Are you studying?

Yeah, it'll be fine.

So I can count on you doing well again?

Yeah, it'll be fine.

Thanks for breakfast.

Gotta run.

Hey nagai-kun, cramming so early in the morning?

Well, I need to make the most of my time.

Only an aspiring doctor would say that.

Anyone who scores in the top ten of med school exams is different.

Man, why does he have to be so sarcastic...

I'm just doing my best to be a fine, upstanding human being.

Kai...

Friend of yours?

No way. He's a freak.

A freak, huh.

Maybe he's one of those ajin "Demi-humans."

He sure seems like a different species.

Whatever, that stuff has nothing to do with us.

Turn to page 247 in your textbooks, the discovery of ajins.

This won't appear on the exams...

In other words, safe to ignore. But it's nonetheless something that you should know.

But it's nonetheless something that you should know.

As you all know, ajins are immortal Demi-humans.

Supposedly, they never die.

Although we're not sure if that's true.

We've also heard reports that they emit "a peculiar voice," but that's...

Hey, I've heard this is an ajin experiment.

Experiment?

It's probably a fake.

The first time their existence was confirmed was 17 years ago in Africa.

Around the same time most of you were born.

The first one was an immortal soldier called a soldier of god by the locals.

After being captured by the us army it was proven to be true.

It looks like there were some attempts at a cover-up, but it was too big to hide and word quickly got out.

There are currently 46 known to exist around the world, including 2 in Japan,

but there are probably others that haven't been found yet.

After all, there's no way of knowing unless they die,

so there's even a possibility that there's an ajin... in this very room.

Yes, watanabe-kun.

I heard that you get a massive bounty if you capture an ajin.

The bounty's probably just a rumor, but there could be some kind of reward.

For example, you could claim ownership over your quarry-

quarry...?

Uh...

Nagai-kun, something to add?

Uh, no, nothing really.

You have a question, I take it?

Well, uh... ajins... aren't human then?

What?

Obviously not.

Yeah, of course not...

Anyway, turning to the utility of ajins...

Bye, see you tomorrow.

From: Friend 3 to: Nagai I'm at the library, wanna come?

Friendship is just as important as anything else, isn't that right?

To: Friend 3 I'm at the library, wanna come? Sorry, I have prep school now.

I heard this is an ajin experiment.

Ugh, that is horrible.

Wait... could that be...

Big brother... why did he have to die?

There was nothing we could do. He was sick.

Come to think of it, why do we die?

It's not like we need to...

Who are you?!

It's not... like we... need...

It looks like you're doing well.

I'm not terrible. If I was well I wouldn't be here.

Yeah... right.

So, what do you want? Aren't you normally at prep school about now?

When we were little, we buried our dog, right?

Do you remember that, by chance?

If there's anything that you-

yeah, I knew it...

There's no way you'd have come here without a reason.

Have you... seen Kai lately?

What? No, I havent...

I want to see him again.

You get it Kai?

Got it!

Kei-chan, give me your cellphone.

Why?

I'm deleting Kaito-kun's information.

You have to choose your friends carefully if you want to be a fine, upstanding human being.

You two used to get along so well.

Well, I'm kind of busy lately...

So you're going to be something... After all.

Listen, eri. You really don't remember?

When we buried the dog-

it's too long ago to remember!

Just go home now. You're too busy.

Time to draw your blood, nagai-San.

What lovely flowers.

Just throw them out.

Becoming a fine, upstanding human being...

You have to do only what's necessary,

choose only what's necessary for that purpose...

I was thinking that...

Oh, nagai-kun!

Anything unnecessary...

Huh? Nagai-kun?

Has to be cast aside.

Could that be...

It-it was a red light!

It's that kid's fault for running out there, right?!

An accident?

Ajin... it's an ajin!

They really exist...

N-no!

No...! This isn't... I'm...

No!

I'm... human...!

Uh, yeah, I believe you...

We're friends, after all.

You get a massive bounty...

Aren't human then?

Obviously not.

The usage value of ajins...

No...

No...l

no!

And it wasn't any ordinary accident!

It was an ajin! Ajin!

Ah, can I talk to you for a moment?

Do you know someone name kei nagai?

Never heard of him.

What did he do?

Well, if you don't know him, apparently he's an ajin. A real one.

It's true! I saw him come back to life!

Can I go now?

Yeah, go on ahead.

Kei...l

No way...

They're already at my house...

Where... where should I go...?!

Kei... I've been waiting for you.

Kai! Uh, uh... what do I do?! I don't know what to do!

Calm down. Where are you?

I-I'm, uh...

We're friends, after all.

Uh, um... the uh...

Kei.

You can trust me.

Kai...

Below the tree, where we caught the stag beetle that day...!

On my way.

Kai...?

Ajin in sight! Requesting back-up!

Hey, wait! Stop!

I can't let them catch me. I won't be caught!

I'm not going to hurt you.

Just come with me quietly.

Don't move!

Stay where you are.

Ajin in custody! Ajin in custody! Near tsuki shrine!

Ajin...

Kail

uh-uh, no names. Kai!

Uh-uh, no names.

Can you stand?

Yeah.

Let's go!

The... ajin is on the run! I repeat! Ajin is on the run!

It appears he has an accomplice! Requesting roadblocks!

You good?

Yeah.

We're live at the ajin's house.

This is the third ajin discovery... And flight... in Japan.

This small town is in an uproar!

I've thought for a long time now...

That he didn't really seem human.

Ajin discovered in car accident; Third case in Japan

ajin? Pfft, he's just some kid!

He won't get very far! Hurry up and get him into custody!

Sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm araki from the saitama prefectural police...

You're all underestimating this situation.

B-but we have plenty of men conducting the search-

this is a national issue.

I see.

Every country in the world has seen their efforts to reveal all the ajins stall.

If kei nagai is captured by another country due to your negligence...

You are of course aware what will happen?

Double... no, triple the manpower!

Do whatever it takes to bring him in!

Kei nagai, our new ajin...

We can't let you get away...

Why is this happening?

Why me...?

If I'm caught... I know they'll test whether I can die or not.

I'll be killed over and over again.

Not that... anything but that! I can't!

Back then...

For just a moment...

No, it was longer than a moment...

It hurt...

So badly!

Kei...

It's okay now.

We've gone pretty far on these mountain roads,

and I doubt the police would be able to follow us out here.

And it's not like everybody's watching the news.

Anyway, I've got a place in mind where we can wait for things to settle down a bit.

We can figure this all out when we get there.

Mmmm.

Kai... one thing.

Hm?

About this morning... I'm... sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah. And, uh... do you think that I'm... Not really human?

Actually, I could care less about that.

According to police reports,

the ajin and his accomplice may have already fled the prefecture.

A massive search will begin at sunrise.

Authorities in other prefectures have promised full cooperation.

Reporting live in front of the ajin's house.

Okay. Good work.

Yes, I've actually just arrived...

No problems.

Who is that...?

He's a big shot in the government.

Like... top cop when it comes to ajins.

I think that's... his secretary.

Tozaki-San. Good evening!

On the phone earlier, I was saying...

It's tosaki.

Huh?

It's tosaki, not tozaki.

Oh, how rude of me.

Just as you suggested, we've significantly increased our manpower.

And we've coordinated the Metro police with units from other prefectures.

I see.

Uh, no, I'm fine.

And how are your personnel equipped?

Uh, equipment? Well, they all have the...

Standard issue weapons, of course...

After all, we have no experience with ajins, but...

Here. After all, we have no experience with ajins, but...

Use these. I've prepared them myself.

Non-lethal tranquilizers?

This is the most effective way to stop an ajin.

With a direct hit, you'll bring them down every time.

I see...

We expect them to get here in about two hours.

Once they do, distribute them to your men at once.

U-understood...

But, uh... all this talk of tranquilizers, it's almost like hunting...

It is hunting.

Ajins are an unusual prey.

Please make your selection.

Hey Kai, why did you save me?

Hmm?

If you're with me, you'll be in danger too.

Well, we're friends, right?

Even though I'm an ajin?

That has nothing to do with it.

And anyway, how many ajins are there in the world again?

Huh?

There are... 46...

No,

47... if you include me.

Oh, 47 of you, huh?

That's not so rare, then.

That's true. Thanks, Kai.

I think I feel a little better.

That's good.

Damn, we gotta go.

Y-yeah.

I can't believe we've run outta gas now.

Hey, that's...

100 million yen reward for the ajin's capture

7100 million yen reward for the ajin's capture huh?

100 million yen reward for the ajin's capture

100 million yen reward for the ajin's capture you gotta be kidding...

100 million yen reward for the ajin's capture

so close... if we'd caught him then, we could have gotten a hundred million yen.

If we'd known about it beforehand...

If only he'd died when we were the only ones around.

One problem. What do we do about our physics homework?

We used to leave it to nagai-kun.

Yeah, that's the worst part of this whole thing.

Kai...

Hm?

I know it's... well... a bad time...

But, I really gotta pee.

Okay, let's find a side street.

So pee comes out normally.

Kei?!

Well?!

No doubt, it really is the ajin!

Seriously?! I can't believe it?! A hundred million yen!

Can we really get it?!

Hey, can we really get that much?! Oh my god!

Who are you guys?

Where did you come from?!

And who are you? The ajin's friend?

We'll be keepin' this ajin. Just so you know.

You don't get to decide that!

No...

No!

Gah!

Keil

why... why is this happening?

Time to see if... you really can't die!

Why? I didn't do anything wrong!

See, can't be killed...

Right?

I got a hundred million yen!

Just... die... all of you... die.

Huh? Wha...?

I thought they don't die!

Keil

I didn't... do... anything wrong...

H-hey, this ajin died!

No...

I'm

My... my body... won't move?

It's like what happened after school...

So this is what it does!

Kai, can you stand up?! Let's get out of here!

This part is well known, but beware of an ajin's voice.

Yes, I've heard of that. It causes something like a temporary paralysis.

It does no harm to the human body, but...

When you're trying to capture them, you must be very careful.

You okay?

Dammit, let's get 'em!

Wait...

What's wrong? Just hurry up!

Alright.

A voice that stops people's movement... That's so strange.

Has it been explained?

I can't answer that. It's being studied.

Araki-San...

Hm? Yeah.

Toza-er... tosaki-San. It seems they're done questioning the mother.

Good.

Oh, but may I ask one thing before you go in?

What?

About the ajins, you're... not uh... Hiding anything, are you?

No, I mean, you hear it all the time, right? That they're always hiding stuff at the top...

I won't say that we're not hiding anything,

however, there's nothing other than the voice that will affect you.

Ajins aren't inherently dangerous. You have my word.

Well then, good luck.

Ajins aren't inherently dangerous.

As long as kei nagai isn't a variant.

Kei, I'm sorry, I let my guard down.

I didn't realize this would happen so fast!

Don't worry about that. But you were injured...

Dammit.

Like we'd let you escape!

Run 'em over! They don't actually die! Run 'em down!

Got it! Run 'em over! They don't actually die! Run 'em down!

Are they trying to hit us?!

What is with these guys?!

It's because of you guys that...

Because of you guys...

Go ahead! Smash 'em!

Kei, keep your head down!

Made it!

Go! Go for it!

Yeah!

Yeah, we're gonna make it! Smash on through!

You idiot, what are you doing?! Hurry and move!

Hey! Don't mess around!

Can't move...

Huh?! The engine stalled?!

No...

Body...

I didn't... do anything wrong.

Just die.

All... of you... die.

What was that?

Dunno.

But I think we lost 'em.

I really...

Gotta pee...

The whereabouts of kei nagai,

the third ajin to appear in this country, are still unknown.

News of the discovery of this new ajin is...

Hey, it's an ajin!

Hmmm. They're worth a ton if you catch one!

Seriously?

He's still not caught?

What's up with his parents?

It's alright... we'll leave it at that.

You seem very tired, nagai-San.

Yes, I'm so sorry.

One final question...

Can you tell me how you're feeling,

now that you know that your son is an ajin?

Eh?

I never dreamed that my son... Wasn't human.

I understand.

Excuse us.

That was a waste of time. What's the latest news on the search?

A woman heard an ajin's voice in the mountains toward yamanashi prefecture.

A witness, this soon...

The accomplice is most likely an amateur, just a normal human.

Right.

Professional hunters or foreign operatives wouldn't allow themselves to be spotted.

If he's with an amateur who's after the money, this will go quick.

Do you really think... that's it?

Meaning what?

I don't think they're just after the money-

you think a human would shelter an ajin for some other reason?

He's here.

Wait.

But he-!

Calm down.

"The man in the hat" seen near kei nagai's home. Send in the special team.

Do it quietly.

He's after... kei nagai too...?

Yes, it's possible, but either way, just be sure to act calmly and carefully.

We don't pursue it.

We need to avoid the worst-case scenario.

Morning already! We could be caught any minute!

We're going to my hideout now! We'll be alright there!

What is it?

He stopped.

I'm in luck.

Hurry!

Right.

Kai! He's catching up!

Can you use your "voice"?!

Huh?

But there's the sound of the bikes, and what about you?!

We gotta try it.

We're good as long as he crashes.

Okay... I'll do it!

But wait, if he crashes at this speed, that guy'll probably die...

Yeah, that was easy.

Is it broken...?

Kai?

Kail

damn, no reception!

An... an ambulance...

Huh?

Please call an ambulance.

He's human!

It's your fault.

My... my fault...?

If I hadn't asked Kai for help,

this wouldn't have happened?

Stand up.

Walk.

Damn, he can't stand.

Still no signal, damn.

No, that's wrong...

If it weren't for this guy... Kai would be fine.

If it weren't for...

If it weren't for...

If it weren't for him!

Kail

thank goodness...

I was just pretending to be dead.

This doesn't hurt a bit.

Okay, let's go.

We'll take this guy's bike.

Kei?

Maybe this won't work?

Won't work? What won't?

I think my leg's broken,

and look what happened just because it got a little lighter outside.

And if we're together, Kai, you could-

kei.

I guess people and ajins shouldn't be together after a-

kei. Listen, you're human.

At least that's how I see it.

So if we can make it to a place where no one but me knows about you...

Then you're still human.

Hang on a sec. I'll treat your leg.

No... no!

Everything that's happened so far has made it clear to me.

I'm not human anymore!

Ow... it hurts.

But even if I tell him to leave me, I don't think he'll listen.

Even though with this leg, I'll be putting Kai in danger.

What do I do? What should I do?

Think...

Think the way an ajin would.

Kei! Don't-!

Kei...

I'm all healed! Let's go, Kai!

Kei...

It seems they're afraid.

That a lot of people will die again.

Maybe they're afraid of another case like shinya Nakamura's.

So they decided not to make any bold movements.

So, sato-San. What are you going to do now?

I guess I'm going to have to show him the way.

Can I count on you... Tanaka-kun?

Kei nagai... is it?

I really am... an ajin.

Are you sure you're okay?

Huh?

What do you mean?

You took things a little too far.

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm a lot calmer and can think clearly.

That's not what I-

actually I'm more worried about you.

Huh?

When humans die, they can't come back to life.

What do we do now?

Hey...

If I turn it on, I'll be telling the police where I am.

Now it's junk. I don't need it.

What I really want is to just go someplace where it's safe.

If you want a safe place, we could just stay on this mountain.

When we run out of food or clothes I can get supplies.

Actually last year there were 2396 people who had mountain accidents, and of those...

294 either died or were never found.

Hmmm... how do you know all that?

I saw it on the news.

If almost 300 people can disappear in the mountains every year,

then maybe I wouldn't be found.

Okay, so...

But... okay, so...

It won't work.

Huh?

I want to live a normal life.

I don't want to have that taken from me just because I'm an ajin.

Kyushu.

Huh?

My grandfather lives in kyushu.

It's kind of a small village, so no one there would care. I mean...

That I'm an ajin...?

I'm sure you could live peacefully there.

You're right. That's probably the best plan.

Okay... it's decided.

Anyway, I'm gonna go buy some stuff.

Is there anything you want?

Oh, um, a toothbrush and stuff?

Okay.

Apparently they lost the man in the hat.

Huh?

But he... probably won't do anything too blatant yet.

Raising the stakes right now would be quite risky for him too.

So then... what are you going to do?

I have that meeting right now.

The committee gets antsy about money and time.

Question her. I'll leave it to you.

Ataka general hospital nakamach! 4-33 question her. I'll leave it to you.

Keep your composure.

Remember, don't give out any information.

Right.

A village in kyushu...

Humans who won't mind an ajin.

There's no way such humans could exist.

And it's 1000km to kyushu. There's no way we could make it.

It'd be hard enough as an ajin, but it's too dangerous for a human.

Kai and I must split up.

That thing...

Kai and I... must split up.

I don't know who his accomplice is!

And besides, those other detectives were here last night!

I'm not with the police department. I'm with the ajin control commission.

The commission's goal is to research and manage ajins-

I don't get it!

I just want to ask you about kei nagai's private life.

But why me? Why do I have to deal with all of this stuff?

Obviously, it's because you're kei nagai's younger sister...

Eriko.

I'm sorry to bother you during your recuperation, but will you help us-?

It's gross.

To think we had one in our family who thought he was a human, it's too gross.

I know someone whose relative turned out to be an ajin.

So what?

I'm not going to try to say that I understand all of that person's pain.

However, I don't want there to be any more who suffer the way you are.

So that's why I want to bring more about the ajins to light.

What do you mean?

Like how they are born, if they really can't die...

If they're really not human...

Anything you can tell me is fine, no matter how small.

Was there anything that made you wonder about your brother?

Well, now that you ask...

I guess I have one totally useless story.

If I tell you, will you leave?

Yes.

A long time ago, when our dog died, kei said something weird.

Who are you?!

Run, eriko!

A ghost is here!

A ghost...?

You said that kei saw a black ghost?

Huh? I dunno if it was black.

I let that slip out...

What's with her?

But back then, I used to play with my brother a lot.

And with Kai-San, too.

Wait, the accomplice...

Yes?

N-no, nothing.

If you've remembered something, no matter how small-

huh?

What's...

Huh?

No...

So she fainted, huh. That's boring.

What's going on?

So you were just pretending to be human.

I suggest...

That you get out of the way!

What?!

You too?

I wonder how long it's been since I've brought out my kuro-chan...

I wasn't taught how to fight another one of these.

Do you like games, Tanaka-kun?

If you have 100 lives in a video game, you can come back to life 100 times.

What would happen if you were to use two lives at once?

What happens to the extra life?

Imagine something like that.

What should I do?

I've never fought one of these before. How do I defeat it?

Wait... is it even possible to beat it?

It regenerated...?

My vision link...

My willpower... is scattering.

It's smashed...?

No.

So that means... blunt force works?

I lost the link?!

Damn!

So the head really was the weak point!

Good to know.

I'll have to call the special team to deal with this.

But it's a good thing tosaki-San wasn't here.

And I was able to protect the girl.

Shit!

That was just a diversion.

There was someone else!

This footage is from a month ago,

when lab ♪2 was attacked.

So this is that "variant" power we've heard of.

Yes. The existence of the variants was discovered because of this incident.

We also learned that the shinya Nakamura incident last year was caused by a variant.

Wait a second. What about the voice?

There's so much new information popping up, I can't keep up.

The voice has been explained as causing a tonic immobility reaction.

Tonic immobility?

It's found in certain insects as a defensive instinct.

In response to stimulus from a stronger life form,

the muscles tense up and are unable to move for a time.

Yes, but so far, the voice hasn't been a problem in any country.

Because earplugs are sufficient protection from it.

And there have also been reports that

it has less of an effect on people who know the particular ajin well,

or people who don't know it's an ajin.

What we should be thinking about now is-

you should at least turn off your cell.

Pardon me.

We're currently carrying out an important experiment as well.

What?! What is this... what's going on?!

If you're wondering where my brother is, I don't know!

I think you misunderstand us.

The truth is, we just want to protect kei nagai.

Protect? From what?

From all sorts of things.

The government, people after the bounty, even foreign operatives.

I think you saw firsthand, at the hospital,

that there are dangerous people trying to get kei.

Including you?

Oh, how rude of me.

Ajin rehabilitation committee

ajin rehabilitation committee...

Sato-San?

Kei-kun is currently in a very dangerous situation.

We want to find him and rescue him.

So then... you'll save my brother and the person helping him too?

Yes, of course we will.

If you cooperate with us.

I understand.

Well, I've been on death's door for half a day,

so it's no surprise I'm hallucinating...

Although I'm thinking clearly now.

First of all, I need to decide what I'm going to do next.

Kai's idea of going to kyushu won't work. That's obvious.

And staying on this mountain the rest of my life is out of the question.

Which leaves me with one option: Contacting other ajins.

If I can talk with them, I should be able to learn something.

But there are only two ajins other than me in the country.

And one of them was caught by the government...

Wait, no, there should be more.

According to the ministry of health, labor and welfare,

over a million people die in Japan each year.

That means two people every minute.

So there should be more ajins, in hiding.

If I can get in contact with them,

I can learn how they live without being discovered.

But the problem is how to contact them-

kei?

I'm back.

Oh, yeah... welcome back.

Hmm?

What is it?

Huh? Oh... nothing.

For now, let's rest until night.

We can switch off every hour.

Sure.

Oh yeah...

Here.

Kai...

Thanks a lot.

You wanna know... what kind of person my brother is?

Yeah, just tell us anything you can think of.

I'm not just saying this because I found out my brother's an ajin...

You can't play with Kaito-kun anymore.

Why? You can't just ask that without a reason.

Kaito-kun is the son of a criminal.

Oh, well, in that case...

I was only hanging out with him 'cause the poor guy was all alone, anyway.

My brother... he's trash.

That's a pretty bold statement.

Is there anything else you can remember?

Not really... that's about it.

I see. Thanks.

Well then, that's all we need from you.

Huh?

What?

Wh-what are you doing?!

I'll contact other ajins through the Internet.

And for that, I need Kai's cell phone, since he hasn't been identified yet.

There's another possibility: Other ajins might be searching for me.

And if that's the case, they should eventually reach a certain person.

Eriko-chah

= == = ==

eriko-chah

eriko-chah but the same goes for the police.

Eriko-chah

eriko-chanh I don't think eriko would tell the police about Kai,

but I still need to make sure.

No one can take your call right now.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Humans or ajins?

Have you ever seen a black ghost?

This is nagai.

I didn't think you'd answer yourself.

You're ajins, right?

Yes, exactly.

Why do you have my sister's phone?

If you want to find out, come to the place we tell you.

Do you have transportation?

Yeah.

There are probably two types of ajins living in secret.

A quiet type that keep to themselves, and a dangerous type.

And if that danger affects humans that it shouldn't...

If that happens...

I'll kill them.

What's with that outfit?

I'm sorry, I didn't have a change of clothes...

I tried to choose the plainest clothes in the store-

your report.

Right. Eriko nagai was taken three hours ago.

Tanaka and the hat guy were the ones-

I don't care about that.

A battle between two black ghosts. I want to hear about how that went.

Understood.

Well-

wait. Well-

this is detective araki.

After her abduction, eriko nagai's cell phone has been used just once,

and the base station has worked out the area it called-

then follow the source of that signal.

Whoever has his hands on that cell phone seems to be trying to reach kei nagai.

Understood.

It's a nice quiet place, isn't it?

No visitors ever come here, and even the priest almost never shows up.

Sato-San... and?

Huh?

Kei?

He went off by himself...

Keil

keil

Kail

I don't think my brother's coming...

Summer again, huh.

We figured this was the fastest way to get you to believe us.

You're real...

Should I do it too?

No, you don't need to. You're already famous.

So is he.

Ah!

Tanaka?! The second ajin in the country.

Did he actually break out?

What?

He looks dangerous.

Well then, let's get straight to the point.

Just as I said on the phone, we're prepared to welcome you.

What you do now is up to you.

Before I decide, I have three questions to ask.

Why just three? Ask as many as you like.

First question. What'd you do to eriko?

We let her go.

Huh?

Huh?

Wha...

By now she should be on her way back to the hospital...

I'm terribly sorry.

This must sound like just an excuse,

but this was the only way we had to meet with you.

I'm sure we really frightened your sister.

I-If she's okay, it's fine. I was just a little worried.

Please stop bowing.

I really am very sorry.

Anyway, please, continue.

Right.

My second question is more about your daily life.

I want to know how you live. How do you get by?

I'm sure you must have been treated terribly by many people since you learned you were an ajin.

Yeah, well...

But that's no reason to hate all humans indiscriminately,

or at least that's what I believe.

"More human than human." That's our motto.

We live quietly. That's our daily life.

Although he doesn't seem to approve much.

What do you want to do, nagai?

It's true, I have been treated terribly.

There are definitely horrible humans out there.

But like you, sato-San, I don't see humans as enemies.

All I want is to live a normal, quiet life.

Nagai-kun, I understand your feelings perfectly.

But look, there's one thing I want you to remember.

I told you our motto was to live quietly.

But if something awful should happen to you or if you're captured, then that's another story.

If that should happen, I swear that I will do whatever it takes to rescue you.

Just like I rescued him.

Maybe...

I can trust this person.

So then? What's your third question?

Oh, sorry.

It's about this vision of a black ghost-

p-police?!

A tranquilizer gun! Get down, nagai-kun!

Nagai-kun! Stay with me, nagai-kun!

Sato-San...

Run...

Well, he won't do.

We have to educate him.

He shouldn't be far away.

Throw a cordon around here.

Go around the back! Don't let 'em get away!

Search thoroughly inside the shrine, too.

Two of you go that way.

In the trees, too.

Kei nagai... where is he?!

Araki-San, over here!

Huh?

The priest...!

What?

Horrible.

Did nagai do this-

no, he didn't.

Uh, tosaki-San.

It would seem to be the work of the man who contacted kei nagai.

They could still be hiding somewhere. Conduct a search of the shrine!

Y-yes, sir!

It's no good. Y-yes, sir!

If they were still here, you would not have escaped untouched.

Wha-?

It's tosaki. We've lost track of kei nagai.

He should be with hat right now.

We'll go after them.

That won't be needed. Kei nagai is already being transported.

Approximately 30 minutes ago,

he was found collapsed in front of a fire station in yamanashi.

You'll be filled in at the lab.

Wh-what did you say?!

So apparently kei nagai is a variant.

Just like shinya Nakamura.

According to the report, that's right.

He'll be a valuable sample. Take good care of him.

I understand.

I don't get it.

Did hat betray him?

Sorry about that.

No, no, it made it much more realistic.

I'm still really bad at aiming.

But if we want to bring him over to our side,

couldn't we have just beaten him up and made him listen?

All that would've accomplished is getting him to hate us.

Well, yeah, but...

You should know better than anyone exactly what goes on there, right?

Hatred of humans, thirst for revenge...

In order to teach him all of that, we gave him over to the humans.

Wh-where am 1?

What happened?

Where's sato-San?

What's this?

A blindfold...?!

L... I've been caught?

The subject's DNA...

Is a match for that found at the site of the truck accident.

He's definitely an ajin.

Heart rate and body temperature are normal.

Then let's begin.

Forceps.

Here.

Stopping blood flow of brachial artery.

Send this to iwasaki.

Apparently it's for comparison with the arm from before regeneration.

This time we'll be watching brain activity as we go.

We can estimate how many times he's died by his reaction to the pain.

Those are big waves.

Apparently he hasn't died much yet.

Just a few times.

Okay, let's put him through some more pain.

Hm? What's that?

Ah.

What is it?

Have those scratches always been there on the glass?

Yeah, they've always been there. Why?

I see. Sorry.

Continue.

Amazing, to scratch glass this thick...

So this is the power of a variant.

Can you see it?

Yes. It's right there.

Was that made by ultrasonic waves or something?

Not likely.

When Tanaka was taken, there were marks like footprints left at the attack site.

Ha, so you're saying there are ghosts with feet?

Why doesn't nagai attack the researchers?

It's possible that he's not aware of his own power.

The link between him and the black ghost may be unstable...

What do you mean?

It's like making a phone call in an area with poor reception, for example.

So it's possible he could attack at some point-

and now?

Huh?

What is it doing now?

Uh, now... it's...

Tosaki-San, it's looking at you.

You insolent little...

Do you realize how you all have destroyed my life plans?!

Watch very closely, shimomura-kun.

The only reason you're on this side of the glass...

Is because I'm protecting you behind the scenes.

Do your work.

Or else you'll...

End up like that.

His reactions are growing sluggish.

Time to reset him.

Okay, kill him for now and take a break.

Whew... okay, break time.

We made a lot of progress.

It's too awful.

Why is this...

Happening to me?

Okay, I'll leave the rest to you.

Fine.

All I wanted...

Was to be an upstanding person.

This is...

Just too horrible!

What's wrong?

I thought that you didn't want to become like me?

Looking at me with such scorn...

Pretending to be the voice of justice...

There are definitely horrible humans.

But like you, sato-San, I don't see humans as enemies.

You knew nothing of hell... You were just trying to look cool.

You look down on others...

But when it comes down to it, you still want them to help you.

You're the worst kind of trash.

That's right... kill...!

Kill!

Release your true self!

Hm...? Wind?

Why did you stop?!

Kai's not coming to help you anymore!

And sato might have been captured!

If I did it, Kai might hate me.

I think... Kai's the only one I can't betray.

Just killing one person wouldn't count as a betrayal!

No...

Hah... if you kill someone...

You could never go back to living a normal life.

That's what you're afraid of-

no!

Hit the nail on the head, huh?

No!

Kai...

Kai risked his life... he did it for me.

His one life.

But I'm... not even able to risk mine.

So...

So if I don't risk everything else I have...

It's not enough!

Okay, time for round two.

Our orders from above are just to cause as much pain as possible.

Okay, let's start with the teeth this time.

Here's what you asked for.

Sorry to make you come up with all these supplies, nekozawa-San.

Not at all. I'm glad to help a valued client.

In that case, our goods are in here.

I look forward to working with you again.

And you as well.

Hey, nekozawa-San! Aren't you going to check inside?

I trust him.

Trust...?

10 livers, 10 kidneys... even hearts.

Yeah. They're definitely there.

Where would he get them all?

Who knows?

However, the man always delivers.

Even if it kills him.

Dr. ikuya ogura's car has just arrived.

This is his second time coming to Japan for an inspection,

along with the time when the country's second ajin, Tanaka, was caught.

Ever since biophysicist Dr. ogura went to the us in 1999, he has been known as an authority on ajin research.

Tanaka-kun, get to work on plan c.

Abducting some doctor called ogura, right?

I'll carry out plan b. Rescuing kei nagai.

So, then... how shall we storm the castle?

The answer is simple.

We attack the enemy with more firepower than they're expecting.

Then using everything we've got...

We roll right over them.

Countries all over the world are competing with their ajin research,

but Japan and the us have a cooperative research agreement,

and Dr. ogura's visit to Japan has been reported as a...

So a vip has arrived.

He's just an idiot.

This thing with Japan and the us is nothing more than a front.

In actuality, we're being forced into providing them with information.

Really?

In fact, the first ajin in this country was stolen by the Americans.

Wh-what's going on? An earthquake?

No, an explosion.

This is the security office! There's an intruder!

The man in the hat has gotten inside! We're going to counterattack...

Wait! Don't kill him! He's an ajin!

Are you there? Tozaki-kun?

The actual reason I'm here, you don't understand yet. But...

The ajin situation in Japan will change dramatically tonight.

Call disconnected

what are you going to do, tosaki?

Kei nagai hasn't demonstrated his variant power since the first day of experimentation.

If nagai is stolen, we'll lose valuable research material-

we've greatly reinforced our security.

If just a single tranquilizer dart hits its Mark...

There may be collateral damage, but we assuredly will win.

I Grant you the effectiveness of the tranquilizers. But why don't you kill him?

If things go wrong we could be in danger ourselves!

Remember the incident with shinya Nakamura?

If we carelessly kill an ajin, another tragedy could occur.

Killing them is a worst-case scenario.

Hurry! Deploy more over there!

Fire them one at a time! Don't fire all at once!

If he's hit with too many tranquilizers he could die of shock!

Disengage safeties now!

Confirmed! Disengage safeties now!

He's coming!

Here I go!

Did we do it?

Whew...

Didn't even have to use "it."

Well then, nagai-kun.

I've come to pick you up.

C-close the emergency bulkhead!

Do you intend to let him get all the way in here?!

Colonel koma!

What is it?

The unit.

How quickly can you bring the anti-ajin special forces here?

Don't be absurd!

The anti-ajins were a temporary provisional unit, formed when our response to a variant failed!

Colonel koma, listen to me...

I have no intention of making my men fight when we still haven't found any countermeasures against variants-

today is that chance!

What do you mean?

Why exactly didn't hat use his IBM today?

Shouldn't that be the real question?

It's because he couldn't use it today.

I don't know the reason, but it's likely the truth.

There's something different about today, compared to when he stole Tanaka.

Well, what do you think?

Why didn't he use it?

It caused a great deal of casualties when he came for Tanaka.

Maybe he did use it, but we just didn't see it.

Of course you wouldn't see it...

Humans aren't capable of seeing it.

What? He isn't here.

Tch... he got away.

Man, why all the commotion?

Even though the great ikuya ogura is here.

Sorry, it's an emergency.

You can't smoke in here...

Dr. ogura, you just said that humans can't see the variant power, right?

What does that mean?

You were...

Talking about ibms, right?

IBM?

That's what they call the variant power in the us.

I think-

it stands for invisible black matter.

Ibms can't be seen by humans, but they're shaped like us.

The coolest guys there are.

That nonsense again...

So this variant power is like a ghost or something?

Colonel...

You're an idiot, aren't you?

Ibms aren't psychic powers or ghosts or anything...

They're solid matter.

Matter?

Scientific, huh?

Well then, nagai-kun.

How have you handled things?

Tanaka-kun... do you understand?

I'm here to rescue you.

Right... that's good.

Nagai-kun... do you understand?

I'm here to rescue you.

How long...

Have I been here?

Let's see...

Over ten days, I believe.

Ten, that's all?

It seems like more.

Sato-San...

I'm so sorry to have caused you such trouble.

Well, this one...

Is a failure.

Well then, let's go.

We can't stay here too long.

R-right.

Does this bother you?

Huh? Not really.

It must have been their job to protect this place,

and they're dead now anyway.

Hm... you're right.

More importantly,

I really want to get out of this place, so if you'd be so kind...

Then let's hurry.

This kid...

I remember now that something felt off when I first met him.

He said he was worried about his sister, but somehow didn't really sound Sincere...

Apart from being an ajin, he was strange from the start.

I thought he'd turned out a failure...

But I think I'll keep an eye on him a little longer.

Don't shoot. We're not guards.

Let's hurry and get-

umm...

You're killing them?

Mm-hmm.

Just to make sure.

Nagai-kun?

It's just, I mean...

I know you rescued me, so it's hard to say this...

But they're not fighting back, so you don't need to kill them...

They could be hiding tranquilizer guns.

Then how about just blinding them

nagai... Then how about just blinding them

nagai... Or cutting off their arms?

You really are...

A failure.

You... shot me.

I-I'm sorry.

Nagai...

I'm gonna... kill you too.

As I told you many times,

ibms are solid matter.

Then why can't we see them?

Can you see this?

Huh?

It's lesson time.

Light comes from its source and reflects off solid objects,

and when it reaches our eyes, that's how people see.

So, then why is glass transparent?

That's because glass is a solid material that allows light to pass through it.

Most glass is 80 to 90 percent transparent.

Ibms are composed entirely of an unknown substance that's 100 percent transparent.

Don't take him too seriously, colonel koma.

This guy was always coming up with crazy theories. No one ever took him seriously.

In Japan, anyway.

Are you really that happy to get credit in such a crude country, ikuya-kun?

It's that stubbornness of yours that's keeping you from moving on to the next stage, Dr. kishi.

Where are you hiding?

I don't have any weapons. And I don't know the way out.

How can I escape?

I never thought I'd be hiding alongside an ajin.

Cut it out. He protected us.

Don't make me laugh.

After all, he's the one who brought that guy here.

How many do you think have died because of him?

I wasn't the one who killed them, you know.

Besides, if you're going to bring that up...

I haven't exactly forgotten what you've done to me either.

I swear... I will get you back on the vivisection table.

No!

I would rather die than ever go back there again!

I'm getting out of here... One way or the other.

You want that too, right?

We have the same goal.

So I guess it's a question of give and take then.

I'll act as a decoy and let you escape.

You'll show me the safe way out.

Are you sure? You'd be a decoy...?

I can't die.

That's not true.

Shut up!

Nagai-kun, have you heard?

You're probably feeling somewhat secure in the belief that you can't die.

When I said I'd kill you, it wasn't just a figure of speech.

Ajins can die.

Tch, now he's done it...

Huh?

It depends on how you define death...

Out when ajins die,

body parts that have been severed rejoin with the largest remaining piece.

But if the pieces are too far away,

they're just remade.

What if that piece is your head?

I promise you. I am going to cut off your head.

Then I will force you to watch until a new one is ultimately regenerated.

So then, is the brain that remains inside your head actually yours?

Which one is real?

You're here.

It's over for you.

You'll regret shooting me,

so much it kills you.

Nagai...! Kei-kun...!

You don't have to help us.

I will though.

I'll get you out.

That's what I should do...

1 think.

What are you doing?!

We promised him!

Aiding and abetting his flight? This one's all on you!

What's that?

What is this? It's so big.

I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble.

So, this is nagai's...

Such a plain shape.

How about just... cutting off their arms?

It's true that the black ghosts sometimes repeat words or wander around without orders...

But this one's way too independent.

Invisible people made of an unknown substance?

And what exactly does that have to do with ajins not dying?

Tell me this. Why do people eat oranges?

Huh...?

Serves you right.

Thanks to that thing I got away.

People can't generate vitamin c on their own.

So they have to get it through fruits and other sources.

The black ghost...

So ajins can summon those.

Ajins who die of malnutrition can even make their own vitamins when they regenerate.

Wait, what has that got to do with not dying?!

There's no way that's unrelated to their ability to generate an unknown substance.

Ibms aren't as all-powerful as you think.

They have various weak points...

Doctor, please avoid revealing any information about ajins.

Uh... oh, that's right.

So there you have it: No comment.

I see.

What is it?

I'm gonna hide in this room.

Did you ever think that... The killer might be on our trail too?

All right.

Wh-what...?

Ah, you can see it?

Sometimes people can see these, when there's a strong feeling directed at them.

Like the urge to kill, for example.

P-please... don't...

Sorry, that won't work.

To tell the truth,

I rather like killing.

Nagai-kun, over here!

Why are you still here?

The fire escape chute. I had to show you how to use it.

No, no, I don't need that.

Oh, right.

I wonder if I would die from this height.

But that's not really why I waited.

Huh?

Once we get down, I can drive you somewhere in my car.

Huh...?

I told myself it was just my job, but we really did such cruel things to you.

There's one more thing I wanted to reassure you about. Listen...

You're still you.

We never once beheaded you during the experiments,

and no brain cells were left at the truck accident site either.

I just wanted you to know that.

How is it that you're able to worry about others?

Hm?

Can you actually understand their pain?

It's just I've never really worried about anyone else before.

Nagai-kun... you really are quite interesting.

Including that personality your sister talked about.

What kind of person your brother is...

That's what those two asked you?

Yeah.

And so, what did you say?

My brother is...

Trash.

The wind's blowing hard.

Hide!

Trash, huh...

That's, uh...

He is.

My brother's actually very logical and completely cold.

That's just what he's like.

If he's dead, I can't help him anymore.

More importantly...

Hmm, too bad. Out of bullets.

Huh?!

Wait, he's still alive?!

This is the final stage, nagai-kun.

Dammit!

Black ghost!

Come out again!

Come out!

It came!

It's raining, but... oh well.

It's aiming for the head?

Hey! You try for the head too!

Why... does he have...

Io be so sarcastic...

Huh?

Well, well. It even ignores orders.

Nagai-kun... just... run.

No way.

Why are you... doing this?

Because I never cared about anyone.

I never saw the need...

Actually, I still don't really care. But...

I want to save you.

So then...

I'm gonna drop you from here. No other way!

There. If you land on the bushes, you'll have a much higher chance of surviving.

We see people on the roof!

Kei nagai has come into view!

He appears to be trying to drop a researcher or someone off the roof.

What are you planning to do? At this rate, he'll get away!

Tosaki-San...

Bend your knees! Here I go!

Wa-wait.

Can you see that?

That?

Now then, how are you going to fight like that?

You try for...

The head too...

Was that... sato-San's?

Nagai-kun... go.

He did it! He dropped the researcher off the roof!

Do you think... that I...

Are you sure I shouldn't be fighting right now?

Of course I'm sure.

If they manage to get in here, who do you think has to protect me?

You stay here.

Don't even think about going anywhere.

Right.

Can you see that?

That river is for drainage.

You may be able to escape.

Part of kei nagai's memory played back in my mind?

So this is what happens when they both lose their heads.

Nagai-kun, you really are interesting.

But you'll die here.

Ah! Nagai dove into the river!

What's going on...

Let's go. The sample got away.

Kei nagai has just jumped from the facility roof into the river.

After dropping someone who looked like a researcher, he threw himself into the river.

The river is swollen and muddied from the earlier rain...

Big brother...

I'm getting...

Used to dying.

But drowning... really sucks.

Do you sleep well?

Did your wounds heal?

Just 'cause they say the night is lonely

you don't have to force yourself to love someone

they say I'm dreaming

they say I'm sobbing

they say I tried to die without knowing

did you manage to hide?

Did you hold your breath?

Just 'cause they say it's tough now

you don't have to force yourself to change

even a brave savage

even a troubled lamb

they are just wandering through life

so I don't stand out

so I can put up with it

so my train of thought won't stop yet

tonight run away, run a way it's unbelievable

someone take my hand

the tomorrow we can't see doesn't have to come

now I just want to sleep
