It won't be, will it, Doctor Jackal?
It won't be too late to do it after you've
seen this through, will it?
This battle, I mean.
For you, as the betrayer Judas.
Am I Judas?
As Christ was crucified on the hill
of Golgotha, he asked God,
"Why have you forsaken me?"
But God knew.
Without death, there is no resurrection.
In other words, for Christ to become
a true child of God,
Judas' betrayal was necessary.
Judas fulfilled his role as an Apostle
by betraying Christ.
Everything went according to the scenario
God had prepared, you see?
Your role is the same.
You came all this way as the Judas who
betrayed the recoverers and their group,
according to the scenario of the
Limitless Fortress's God,
who is somewhere looking down
on us and manipulating us.
You're quite an interesting boy.
What is it that you want?
Proof.
Proof?
I want to prove that I'm living by my
own will, not being allowed to live.
If I can't do that...
Either way, it has nothing to do with me.
Let's end the long stories here,
and begin our dealing.
I only want to fulfill the contract quickly.
The job I took on from you before I took on
the job with the recovery service.
In other words, the job of transporting
the plutonium to you.
Now, please take it.
My next job is waiting.
The job of taking back IL from you
and transporting it to the client.
I see.
You truly are the holy betrayer chosen by
the God of the Limitless Fortress.
Actually, you're wrong about that.
I have never been a member
of anyone's group.
So it's impossible for me
to become a betrayer.
Now, take it, and let's get
started right away.
You seem like you'll give me a little fun.
Are you surprised at this pairing?
You've started to want to see how
it turns out, haven't you?
The end of this battle, at least.
Am I right, Doctor Jackal?
Kyouji Kagami!
She can't take this guy on! I mean it!
She'll be fine.
She may not look it, but that girl's
a professional transporter
called Lady Poison, you know.
Some half-assed man is no match for her.
No, Ren is right.
That man came down from the
mystery-shrouded demon world
that no resident of Lower Town has seen,
the Limitless Fortress's Babylon City.
Babylon City?
What's the matter?
Just standing around won't
make anything happen.
This man is strong.
He's like Ban or Akabane the
first time I met them,
giving off a bottomless threatening feeling.
If I make a careless move,
I'll get cut in a second.
Oh, that's it. You're from the outside world,
and you're not used to this darkness.
There's no need to worry, Lady Poison.
Morning will soon dawn.
Morning will dawn? What do you mean?
I mean this.
They're Mayan!
Mayan?
It's a pyramid from the ancient
Mayan civilization.
That's a sacrificial altar.
That's not funny!
If that guy really came from Babylon City,
then even Lady Poison...
Shido, wait!
It's useless.
You should understand too.
This isn't just a virtual reality.
Right now, they might as well be in the
middle of an ancient civilization.
Even you can't get there.
But...
There's nothing we can do but watch.
Like this, with the images
being sent to us.
What is this?! Where the hell?!
An altar pyramid of the Mayan civilization.
The ancient Mayans had sacred
sacrificial rites.
Makubex is reconstructing that with the
power of the Limitless Fortress.
I don't know what's going on, but it looks
like there's no place to run.
Have you prepared yourself, Lady Poison?
I can't have you underestimating me, Mister.
The name Lady Poison, the witch who
controls the seven perfumes, isn't for show!
You're the one who's going to be sacrificed.
I see. There's some value in
observing you, isn't there?
Now become drunk with excitement,
ghosts of the ancient Maya.
So, let's begin this exquisite sacrificial rite.
Diamond Dust.
So basically you're creating virtual images
with diffuse reflection, huh?
You can't beat me with petty
trickery like this!
In the end there's only one real you!
Diamond Dust is made of demonic shards.
You'd do best not to think of it as mere glass.
So it's an invisible weapon that
cuts you if you touch it, huh?
Take care not to inhale the Diamond Dust.
If you do, your lungs will be in ribbons,
of course, but so will all of your other organs.
Although even if you hold your breath, it
will work its way in through your skin.
You sure go on.
I'm being underestimated, aren't I?
Will you become a sacrifice
like a good girl?
If you do that, you'll suffer much less.
As if!
Flame Perfume!
Where is he?
Haphazard attacks will do you no good.
Death isn't suffering, Lady Poison.
If you think of it as leaving on a journey to
the next world, there's nothing to fear.
Quite the opposite. It's a dramatic end,
don't you think?
Atop an altar pyramid of the ancient Mayans,
having your head cut off by a priest.
What's dramatic about it?!
Even after seeing the difference
in our powers this clearly,
you still have fighting spirit left in you.
You truly are worth observ...
This is...
One of the Seven Poison Perfumes:
Corrosion Perfume!
Illusions don't rot. The one who
stinks of rot is the real you.
I see.
So you mean to see which is the real
image with your sense of smell?
I'll turn your words back on you,
Mister Show-Off.
The air around you should be full of the
sweet scent of poison perfume.
If you inhale even one whiff, your
lungs will rot, of course,
but so will all of your other internal
organs, and you'll die.
Although even if you don't inhale it, it will
eat its way in through your skin,
and even your bones will rot.
You got one on me.
But because of the Diamond Dust,
you have to hold your breath too.
It's a matter of whose breath gives out first.
I told you not to take me lightly, didn't I?
To control poison perfumes, and
also to protect your own body,
one of the skills you have to acquire
is a resistance to poisons.
And another one is a breathing technique.
Breathing technique?
I haven't breathed in any of the fragments
of light you're scattering.
I've had a training regimen of
screening the air I breathe,
so I can be active even inside a
cloud of deadly poisoned gas.
So, what about you, I wonder?
What's wrong, Mister?
You look pale.
I see. You're just what one should
expect from the Last Children.
How do you know that?
Who the hell are you?
I have to apologize to you for
taking you too lightly, don't I?
Let's stop playing around.
This isn't trickery.
Corrosion perfume!
Did I do it?
A mirror?!
Checkmate, I believe.
Impossible.
His speed is in Akabane's league!
Is this... Is this the true power of a
resident of the Limitless Fortress?
If you move you'll die, you know.
But this is a sacrificial altar.
Beheading you is the priest's job.
Now, the rite begins.
Himiko Kudou
Ban Midou
Remember this, you pretentious bastard!
If you kill one of the Last Children,
you're cursed, you know!
My, my, you're a surprisingly bad loser.
How about getting started, Mr. Priest?
I'm really done for now.
I can't believe I'm going to get
killed in a place like this.
Why am I remembering that damn Ban?
Even though he's my brother's killer...
Even though I've hated him for so long...
Ban...
Ban!
BAN!
What?
Just one minute.
Did you have a dream?
Ban?
Yo.
You gave it to me good, huh, Ban Midou?
I guess this is the part where I'm supposed
to say, "Nice to meet you."
Aside from the Jagan, it looks like
you're not surprised to see me.
Hey, that's right. What are you doing here?
I was walking along in pitch darkness when I
started smelling your damn tracking perfume.
Looks like while we thought we were going
through six doors to six different rooms,
we were really being lured into
one gigantic room.
Even so, for you to break in here...
Makubex was right to worry
about you, Midou.
Didn't expect this to be an altar
pyramid of the ancient Mayans.
So it's a VR that Makubex made, huh?
Virtual? This?
Of course it's no ordinary VR.
It's deep enough to compare to my Jagan.
Hey, then even if my head did get cut off,
I'd be fine, wouldn't I?
You can't say that for sure.
The human body is controlled by the mind.
If you got your head cut off in a VR this good,
you'd be going to the other world
with a single blow.
But how did Makubex make such
a sophisticated VR?
I get it. So that's it.
It's tied to the fact that here
in the Limitless Fortress,
Ginji can go into Lightning Emperor
mode at the drop of a hat.
I'm starting to figure out the
Limitless Fortress's secret
and the real intentions of this
Makubex who controls IL.
You're dangerous, aren't you?
And so are you.
What the hell are you hitting me for?!
Because you're acting show-offish
and stealing a girl's limelight!
Come on! I'm telling you, this guy
isn't someone you can beat!
I'm a professional too, you know!
Don't treat me like a kid forever!
That's!
My final weapon for this time,
the seventh poison perfume.
Here I go, Mister Show-Off.
My observation of you is already over,
but if you say you must.
Himiko uses only the first six perfumes
on almost all of her jobs.
The seventh one is her secret move;
she always saves it until the end.
One of the reasons is that she saves it
until she really needs it,
but another reason is...
No interfering, Ban.
What's the meaning of this?
She's fast! Her movement just now
was at twice her normal speed.
Maybe now it's my turn to observe
you, Mr. Kyouji Kagami.
I get it, that's the poison perfume
that was Yamato's specialty.
That's right, the Seventh Poison Perfume:
Acceleration Perfume!
Damn.
If you breathe one whiff of this,
your speed doubles.
If you breathe another whiff...
It approximately triples!
This is awesome, Himiko!
With both of us against him,
winning will be a total breeze!
Hey, hold it! Mind your own business!
You moron! You know our objective
is the recovery of IL.
If you're a professional too,
then quit being stubborn.
Okay, fine!
Let's go!
Snakebite!
You're mine!
Up above!
Are you running away, you jerk?!
My objective is also IL, you see.
In other words, it's to protect
the implosion lens.
In that sense, the role Makubex gave me
has already been fulfilled.
What's that supposed to mean?!
It means there's only one Jagan left.
Damn! The second he disappears
we're back in the same room?
Well, whatever.
If we injured him that much he
probably can't fight for awhile.
You fought pretty hard too, Himiko.
Hey, Himiko...
Himiko!
Why are you so cold?!
You're like a corpse!
Hey, Himiko! HEY!
The antidote perfume...
Got it. Just a second!
For crying out loud, you...
I thought it was something like this.
No matter how you look at it, that
speed was overdoing it for you.
If you'd inhaled the acceleration perfume
one more time and things went wrong,
you would've died, you know.
I know...
But if I didn't do something like that,
I couldn't compete with a monster like him.
You're just like always.
That part of you hasn't changed a bit.
What is it, Ban?
How's your body?
If I rest a little, I'll be fine.
Then don't move from this spot until
you get your strength back.
I'm going somewhere for a little bit.
Here you go.
Oh, I'll get sugar and cream.
No.
This taste brings back memories.
Well, do you know Mr. Ginji?
Yeah, from ever since he was a kid.
Really?
I wonder what kind of kid Mr. Ginji was?
Hey, is there anybody there?
Ban, everyone, where are you?
Where are you?!
Hey, Ban! Ban...
This is far enough away,
don't you think, Fudou?
I waited a long time for this.
The only thing that can stop my aching
is to suck your blood.
Midou!

Damn, I guess I really do have to settle
the score with him once and for all.
But that guy really hates you, I mean,
he's out for your blood.
Yeah, if I fight with him I risk my life,
but this isn't the time for you to worry
about other people, is it?
I'm fine.
No, I have a bad feeling.

Bouhatei makka ni moeru gogo
Nami ga supankooru mitai ni kirei ne
Konna ni, dakara, sou waratte
Furimuicha dame
Saa, iku wa yo
Arashi ni dakarete yume kara, jump!
Eien ga oshiyoseru island
Hate shinaku sunda sora wo motome
Kizu tsuita kamome mo tonde yuku
Namida no harikeen
Damn, I guess I really do have to settle

Yeah, if I fight with him I risk my life,
but this isn't the time for you to worry
about other people, is it?
I'm fine.
No, I have a bad feeling.
