Get Backers (2002–2003): Season 1, Episode 18 - Crash! Shido vs. Emishi - full transcript

Emishi fights Shido in a battlefield that looks like the Grand Canyon. The organization behind the construction of the Limitless Fortress is revealed.

It's five...

Bring it on.

A perfect defense...

There's not even a single opening.

Do you get it now?

With us Four Kings, one plus one isn't two.

In the Fuchouin School, you
first learn that to fight

is to search out the gaps
in the enemy's defense.

Shido and I can complement
each other's weak points

and produce a perfect harmony,
without even a single opening.

That's why we were called
Four Kings of VOLTS.

If we couldn't do that much, we wouldn't be
fit to be the Lightning Emperor's guards

in the Limitless Fortress in the Age of Hell!

What's so funny?

Now I feel stupid for waitin' for ya.

The combination fightin' thing you're
so proud of ends here.

What?

Don't get the wrong idea, Kazuki.

Juubei!

This isn't the Limitless Fortress
you know anymore.

It's the hidden remains of Babylon Tower
that we and Makubex excavated.

The remains of Babylon Tower?!

Ya see, Kazuki, Makubex is
the only man who can

get at the mystery of the Limitless Fortress:
the one even you couldn't get to!

What is this?!

Take a good look at the scene of the
battlefield Makubex conducts!

The Grand Canyon?

How?!

Don't you understand, Ren?

You, who were taught by me, should
be able to understand.

You... You don't mean this is...

Yes.

This is what gathers human wisdom,
the intelligent building,

the remains of Babylon Tower.

Makubex has found one of the nightmares.

One of the nightmares of the think tank
under my supervision

that was involved in the tower's
construction: the Brain Trust.

This is a nightmare birthed by a delusion,
a nightmare that doesn't fear even God.

Makubex is reconstructing that.

It's beginning, Ren.

The first round of the death-match that
controls the fate of the Limitless Fortress!

Where is this? Weren't we in
the Limitless Fortress?!

We should be... Are we
dreaming or something?

Now, how far can ya go without
your combination fightin'?

We'll have you show us.

It's no good, Shido. You know, don't ya?

Ya can't run away from my
Loulan Dance Whip.

'Specially in this little battlefield.

Ya know, this whip is somethin' the women
of the ancient Loulan Kingdom

wove out of their own hair, hair
they spent their lives growin'.

They called the hair of the Loulan
women, dragon hair.

It was as flexible and strong as a dragon.

For the sake of the men who went to
battle, they took it and worked it,

using a secret technique passed down in
our kingdom, and they made it into a whip.

Look! This flexibility...

It's interestin', huh?

I'll show ya my dance with this whip.

Have fun, Shido!

I'll at least laugh at your sprayin'
blood as a memorial to ya.

Emishi...

Say, Shido...

I thought, "If I leave the Limitless Fortress,
I'm gonna become a real entertainer."

I'm not kiddin'.

I'm sick of the me that laughs
at sprayin' blood.

If I'm gonna laugh, I'd like to try makin' other
people laugh and laugh with them.

Hey, are ya listenin', Shido?

I definitely can't laugh at your jokes, Emishi.

I thought I told you,

I've got no sense of humor.

Have you given up?

Shido! Overhead!

What kind of joke is that, huh?

That's right, Shido. If it's not like that,
it's not interestin'.

Let's laugh together!

What?!

It's no good.

It won't hit me anymore.

Why?

Why doesn't it hit?!

Hundred Beast Semblance:
Birds and Beasts Semblance.

Right now, I'm mimicking the bat
that flutters in the dark night.

With those ears, I can see the supersonic
waves your whip makes

as clearly as if I could touch them.

You lose, Fresh Blood Joker.

Hundred Beast Semblance:
Ravenous Wolf Semblance.

What do you want out of the
new Limitless Fortress?

The Lightning Emperor is already gone,

and the curtain is sure to rise
on the Dark Ages again.

An age where the weak have to live
in fear of violence and death.

But I want to dare to come
to terms with that.

Even if that means betraying
the principles of VOLTS.

I want you to lend me your power to
lay the foundation for a new age.

Not yet.

I can't be beaten yet.

I can't lose to you yet!

It's no good.

The Four Kings of VOLTS weren't
people chosen by anyone.

The Limitless Fortress of that time
they called the Age of Hell...

You remember it, don't you?

Back when I, Kazuki, Makubex
and HE were still enemies.

Out of the bloody battles
before VOLTS was born,

eventually the strong ones gathered
under the Lightning Emperor,

and at some point people started
calling us the Four Kings.

I'm going to protect everyone!
No matter what happens, I will.

We made a decision too.

That no matter what happened, we would
follow the Lightning Emperor.

The Four Kings isn't just
a name we're called.

It's proof of having cheated
death countless times.

It's a name that's given only to
someone who's done that!

Emishi!

Makubex was one of the Four Kings too.

There's no way he wouldn't know that if you
and I fought it would turn out this way!

If this is Makubex's calculation, then that
bastard is telling you to die a dog's death!

What do you want?

What of it?

I knew. I knew if we went at it properly,
I couldn't win against ya.

It's just...

I wanted to fight ya seriously,
head on, just once.

To fight Shido Fuyuki, one of the
Four Kings of VOLTS.

Do ya remember when we first met, Shido?

There was no VOLTS yet,

and back then you were the terror
of the East Block where I was.

He annihilated them in a single night?!

The guys that were lootin' us all over
the place in just a single night?

He's a guy called the Beastmaster Shido!

Beastmaster?

They say he controls animals at will
and attacks with them.

That guy, he's comin' here next.

No need to worry. I'll protect
the clan all by myself!

Bring it on, animals!

Hey, Mister, can we really have all this food?

Sure, it sounds like it was
yours to begin with.

Thanks!

Hey! Over there! Ya need to have
more of a sense of danger!

It's that dumb Emishi! Run!

Pretty soon a big-time lootin' bastard is gonna
come through here with a bunch of beasts!

If you don't run away fast, you'll
get mixed up in it and die!

Oh, really?

I'm not kiddin'! The man's like
a brutal demon, like this!

Have you ever met him?

No, but he's got to be a cruel guy.

Anyway, quit playin' with birds
and go somewhere fast...

I get along good with these guys.

They don't know fear, they're
faithful to their instincts,

and most importantly, they don't betray.

They're here, huh?

This... This is...

You aren't... the Beastmaster Shido Fuyuki?!

Bring it on! Fight me!

You may call yourself the Beastmaster, but
ya won't lay one finger on my clan!

Don't worry.

What?!

I'm just passing through.

In the end, just like you said,
you didn't lay a finger on my clan.

After I joined VOLTS, the reason
I always hung around ya

when ya didn't walk with anyone but the beasts

was because I couldn't forget
your eyes that time.

They were hard, like they were
pushin' people away.

But they were lonely somehow.

The Lightning Emperor disappeared,
VOLTS scattered,

and you and Kazuki and he weren't around.

Everyone on the lower floors of
the Limitless Fortress

probably woulda been in big trouble
if Makubex hadn't been here.

'Cause even in the Loulan clan the only one
who can really fight is me, ya know.

Probably, we woulda either all been
killed, or best case scenario,

we woulda been enslaved and the
women made into playthings.

Do ya get it?

The clan owes Makubex their lives.

What he's tryin' to do is for the people
who can't leave the lower floors of

the Limitless Fortress and
can't aim for above.

It's for the future that ought to be theirs.

If that's what's goin' on, then I...

I have to believe in him!

Emishi!

This is my trump card.

I told ya once, didn't I?

When ya smoke the blood of a Loulan
man like this, it burns good.

You stupid bastard! Stop!

If I can die with you, that's
my greatest wish.

For me, the VOLTS days were the best.

It was fun, huh?

Chasin' you all over the place.

Gettin' pushed off. Bein' silly.

It'd be nice if we could meet
in Hell, huh, Shido?

No, Emishi! Makubex's real goal is...

Burn like the flames of Hell!

EMISHI!

That's fine, Haruki Emishi.

What?

Our objective is to stop the recovery and to
protect Makubex and the implosion lens.

His decision to complete the mission at
the cost of his death was correct.

Juubei, you bastard.

If you die, it's OVER, you moron!

Hundred Beast Semblance:
Mole Semblance!

Shido!

Mole? I get it.

He escaped those raging flames
by going underground!

Is this Hell?

I met ya right away, huh, Shido?

Moron.

I really can't laugh at your jokes.

Jeez, you're a troublesome bastard.

Why? Why did ya save me?

Well, it'd piss me off if you died
thinking we'd tied.

That's weird.

Sleep, you moron.

Kazuki! I'm just gonna take
this guy to a doctor.

In that case, in area A567 of the
South Block there's a good place.

There's an old man named Gen
who's a pretty good doctor!

He runs a pharmacy!

The Pharmacist Gen, huh? Got it!

But Shido, how are you going to
go down this cliff?

There is no cliff.

When I did the bat semblance before,

the supersonic waves that bounced back
to my ears let me see it clearly!

See it?

Bats see with their ears.

This place is just the inside of
a really huge square room.

A virtual reality? It is?

Do you think you can leave?

This is the remains of Babylon Tower.

This isn't just a 3-D projection.

A perfect virtual reality affects your mind
by the same processes as reality.

If even one percent of you still doubts,
even if your body remains the same,

your mind will fall from this cliff
and be crushed on impact.

Doesn't matter.

To my ears, this doesn't look like
anything but a square box!

Well then, Kazuki, I'm leaving
the rest to you.

Hey, Shido!

Shido?

SHIDO!

Master?

They're okay, right?

Those two!

Yeah, they're fine.

I'm sorry, we're already
closed for the day!

Come on in.

I'll make some hot coffee.

He disappeared.

What a fool.

When was the Beastmaster tamed?

The Shido Fuyuki of the VOLTS days

would've mercilessly killed any
enemy who came after him.

At any rate, Emishi completed his mission.

It seems Makubex's calculations are
progressing exactly as planned.

If he starts carrying Emishi to the doctor now,
he won't be able to come back

before Makubex has used the Lens and the
Judas to complete the atom bomb.

Shido Fuyuki withdrew from the front lines
for foolish, useless feelings!

Foolish feelings, you say?

I thought of you as a close friend.

That's in the past.

Now we're nothing more than enemies.

Even after I left the Limitless Fortress,

in my mind you continued
to be a close friend.

I never even looked back on your memory.

Even when I had flying needles thrown at me
from behind, those feelings didn't change.

I was sure we'd be able to
reach an understanding.

I believed that.

A pipe dream.

Juubei... Juubei Kakei.

It's really been a long time

since I've felt this passionately angry!

Now you'll have a taste of it.

The finesse of my secret music that
plays everything in creation!

Fuchouin Thread Technique!

Attack spool, the first move of
the twenty-seventh form:

Running Water Blade!

This is?!

Flash Flood!

Muddy Stream!

Whirlpool!

We knew each other for a long time,

but this is the first time I've seen you make
the first strike and be serious about it.

But I was a student of the Kakei
School Needle Technique.

Don't think I'll be defeated by
something like that!

He hit his own pressure points with the
needles and turned his arms to steel?

Tussock moth!

Defense spool, third move of the
fifteenth form! Cocoon Shield!

So for the time being we're even, huh?

Even? Don't underestimate me.

What is this? When did he?!

If you swim in a river, no matter
how much you towel off,

you can never towel off
the last few drops!

Fuchoin School Thread Technique:
Running Water Blade Droplets!

I see.

The fearsome Fuchouin School...

You said a person's feelings were
foolish and useless.

You'll regret that, Juubei Kakei.

Know this: before the ultimate technique
of Kazuki Fuchouin,

the one and only successor to the
head family of my school,

there is no way to survive!

Sennen ni ikkai no koi nante mon ja nai

Why? Juubei, why are you?!

People who were close friends since
childhood are fighting.

It's going to be an all-out battle where each
knows all of the other one's tricks.

They shouldn't do this!
Kazu can't really want to fight!

Even so, there are some things
they can't step back from.

No...

Next time: "Oh, My Friend... Kazuki vs. Juubei"

Next Get Backers:
Oh, My Friend...
