Taiyo? Kyoichiro? My bad.

I just finally managed to break through the defense system.

I'm relaunching the "Stop the Seed-Sowing Project" mission.

Roger that.

We've arrived at the gate to the deepest part of the hideout.

It's going to be a race to see who can stop them first.

Starting now, we're switching gears to capture Kawashita.

Get ready, Taiyo.

Right.

Whirlwind.

Ascending Waterfall.

Oh, come on.

That door was custom-built, you know.

Hey there, Taiyo Asano.

Thanks for looking after Hakuja on the train.

Kawashita!

Don't take the bait, Taiyo. It's a trap.

Shion found the link between the detonation system and his biometric data.

If any damage is inflicted on his body...

this hideout will blow up.

Oh, man, I'm busted, huh?

As long as the Seed-Sowing Project works out, I don't care if I die.

And I've set up another deterrent, just in case.

Nanao!

Which will be the first to fall, this base or your youngest sibling?

Want to take a guess?

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 25 AI AND MIZUKI

Wh-What on earth?

It's an emergency! Just make a run for it!

What do you think you're doing?

Don't mind me! You guys need to go on ahead!

R-Right.

What a pity.

Your mission appears to be incomplete.

MIZUKI HAZAKURA EFFICIENCY 488% (NUMBER 3 IN THE NIJIBANA)

Is this...

sleeping gas?

Correct. I'm going to send this gas from the air vent through the pipes

and flood the passageway with it.

In a few minutes, the test subjects who attempted escape

will all have been captured.

Ah, I see that you have astounding regenerative power.

To think that you'd neutralize my poison, even when it's in the air,

that's truly impressive.

That said, it's futile.

Your strategy...

will be thwarted by Ms. Ai.

Give my friends back to me, mister!

AI OUTPUT EFFICIENCY 310% (NUMBER 6 IN THE NIJIBANA)

What are you going to do?

Waste away and die here?

Or else...

Please just stop! This is just senseless!

You must be test subjects yourselves.

You have no reason to fight.

Are you just going to martyr yourselves for Kawashita here?

My research can help you regain a body that doesn't rely on Hazakura,

and I'll also help you reintegrate into society!

So...

We already have a way to remove the Hazakura.

We wouldn't die if this base exploded, and most of all...

we have no society to return to.

It may be an example of little significance,

but my family was murdered by society.

I wonder if you're familiar with it.

The alleged contamination case in Zenshotencho

and the unnatural deaths of several company directors 11 years ago?

In the town where we lived, there was a sudden outbreak of a mysterious ailment.

And people started dying one after the other, like so many flies.

Our studies showed that the cause

was soil contamination by a nearby chemical plant.

We took them to court,

but we were suing a major corporation backed by the government,

so from the start, we never had a chance.

TOP EXECUTIVES FOUND INNOCENT To make matters worse, the press and social media slammed us

DARK SIDE OF THE VICTIMS' GROUP as a special-interest group playing the victim card to cash in.

Society had rejected us.

In my despair, I had no choice

but to accept my fate of being infected and doomed to die.

It was then...

that I caught the eye of Dr. Kawashita,

who deemed my deteriorating body as useful for Hazakura research.

That's right. He brought me true salvation.

So that's what this is about.

That's the kind of group Tanpopo is.

It's more or less the last refuge

for those who've lost the place where they belong.

You think you can save us?

Don't be so arrogant!

Let me show you the pain of being destroyed from within.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

The death throes of a family member.

You can either watch your kid brother breathe his last again,

or else attack me right now so that we can all die together.

Pick whichever you prefer.

I'm not the only one you're fighting.

Sorry we got here late.

Sorry!

Thanks! You were right on time!

Oh, man, Hinagiku, eh?

Chacha's been defeated, and our security's screwed.

You're late, Hotokeyama!

Nanao had to suffer some pain.

My bad.

The police, Hinagiku, the Spy Association.

With so many organizations in play,

getting all the paperwork in order is a hassle.

Come on, come on!

Let's give them a real beatdown, Futaba!

Ms. Rin, be gentle, okay?

What are you talking about? How gentle is this?

Um...

This is it, Kawashita.

Starting now, you're taking on all of us!

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY

All right, Sui!

Let's get this done and over with.

No...

What the...

Mr. Kawashita may be scary...

and maybe my friends all died...

and I have to do things that I don't want to!

But...

this is all I have!

This is our home!

Don't take it away!

Did you really think that two adults are enough to cross swords with Ms. Ai?

An okami dog...

She's had okami DNA implanted into her with Hazakura's power.

A chimera.

Her transformation abilities tipped me off right away.

The samples Sui and Oga gave me.

Hakuja's records.

It's all thanks to the data that everyone brought me.

Nanao, are you all right?

Big Bro Taiyo.

Thanks.

Now I can focus on my Blooming.

I'll end this right away, so hold on a little longer.

Thanks. But don't overdo it, okay?

Oh, I won't overdo it.

Supporting you and the others who are always fighting on the front lines...

...is my mission.

What's this?

My poison's being absorbed?

The concentration is dropping as well.

So these objects have purifying effects?

My Blooming is Adaptation.

These are crystallized cells of someinine and immunity substances.

My body can counteract any poison or environment it comes into contact with.

I've seen the list of test subjects.

At first glance, they all seem like legitimate applicants,

but most were actually maneuvered into it by Kawashita.

By robbing them of an environment they could have adapted to,

he made them dependent on him.

What is that but control?

Everyone has the ability to adapt.

It's not something someone gives you.

It's a power that takes shape when others have your back.

This is a twisted place that robs you of that power...

a place that shouldn't exist.
