Get Backers (2002–2003): Season 1, Episode 23 - Attack! Virtual Corps - full transcript

Let's gather up the tears and give them
back to the night sky

Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust

On nights when I've stopped knowing
whether or not I'm alive

I get swallowed up by the starless night sky

"Don't disappear, light!"
My uncertain heart cries out

I just want to see you!

Sprinting with all my might through
illusions, delusions, daydreams

A miracle wakes all throughout my body

Don't forget, you're not alone

We're always just a dreamer

Take love, get all love,
get back love in our hands

Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust

What kind of tomorrow shall
I dream about tonight?

Mister Kazuki!

Ya really aren't in any shape to do this.

Sheesh, you're a real stubborn guy.

Makubex...

Die... die...

Die, die, die...

Die!

This is the pits.

A mutual slaying might really seriously
be the best I can do.

Die, die, die...

Die!

Hundred Beast Semblance:
Deer King Semblance!

The elk's antlers don't let the enemy
they've caught escape!

Your opponent's a middle-aged man.
What's your problem, Midou?

Ban! Where's Gin?

He's back to normal and headed
for Makubex's place.

Don't...

Don't interfere!

He really packs a punch.
Isn't his injury affecting him at all?

Out of the way. This guy's my guest.

What can you do in that kind of shape?!

You say that, but are you prepared
to go down with him?

Huh?

Right now, the only thing that's keeping
him moving is his desire to defeat me.

With an opponent like that, this side
has to be ready to die too.

Shut up!

You shut up and go to Makubex's
place with Ginji!

That's your job, isn't it?!

Ban, let's leave this to Shido and go.

Midou!

I'll send your bones to Madoka's place
for you, monkey trainer!

That's how it is.
I'll be the one to fight you!

Damn, so this is the Enlightenment?

You still have strength left?!

Where is Midou?

Midou... Midou...

For animals, this guy's Enlightenment
isn't a special power.

Like small animals are enlightened when they
sense an earthquake coming and run away,

this guy must also be enlightened by sensing
something that's coming from his enemy.

In which case, that's probably...

Hundred Beast Semblance:
Vulture Semblance.

What he's enlightened by is,
in a broad sense, a death aura.

When people wish for the
death of their enemies,

and also when they prepare
for their own deaths,

they give off a strong death aura.

In that case, by mimicking the vulture,

who senses the death aura of a beast
and appears out of nowhere,

I should be able to attain the
same power that you have.

Midou!

Damn, so I just barely made it?

Is this all I can do with a
makeshift Enlightenment?

Die... Die... Midou...

Midou... look at me... die...

Midou... die... die... Midou...

Die... look at me... Midou... die...

Midou... die...

You've gotten started, huh, Makubex?

This is...

Gramps!

Damn Makubex, he's made the mother
system abandon the operation

that designs the atom bomb!

So he's made intercepting the
recovery service the priority.

What's going to happen?

Don't worry, those guys are strong.

They won't lose to something like
a computer-created illusion.

You're soft, Makubex.

Now your reckless plan to use the
atom bomb to make a deal with

the God of the Limitless Fortress is...

Wait.

Makubex, you aren't...

This is the end?!

What are ya wrinklin' your forehead for?

Fun times like this, you gotta smile, Shido.

Emishi! Kazuki, even!

Can you stand, Shido?

Heh, a lot better than you can.

But we're no match for them.

At this rate, no matter how many
we defeat there's no end to 'em.

An intruder interception program...

It looks like Makubex has finally
gotten serious too.

Makes no difference.

We'll do 'em well and good!

Mr. Akabane, are they relatives of yours?

No, they must be virtual beings
made from my data.

Yours?

It appears that Makubex has been
carefully observing our fighting

ever since we entered the Limitless
Fortress, collecting data.

But still, it's odd.

The force of the virtuals' attack
is too strong.

Did you abandon construction of
the atom bomb, Makubex?

It's a strange feeling,
chopping up myself like this.

But it's not bad.

It's really bad for me!

Dammit! The next time I turn into
the Lightning Emperor,

I might really not be able to turn
back to normal anymore.

But at this rate I can't go forward!

This way, Gin!

Miss Hevn!

Boy, you saved me.

You were all right, Miss Hevn?

I got through somehow.

Since I came here, I've felt
more dead than alive.

And then to top things off, the person who made
me feel that way suddenly appears in droves.

Hey, that reminds me, where's Ban?

Miss Hevn, didn't you see
Ban on the way here?

Ah!

Ban...

Don't go spacing out, Ginji.

Ban...

Ban killed Miss Hevn!

Ban... Ban killed...

Moron! That was virtual!
Ban... Ban killed...

Moron! That was virtual!

Still, be a little more hesitant about it!

Anyway, that Makubex bastard is
seriously getting started, huh?

What do we do? At this rate,
we won't get anywhere.

Times like this, there's no choice
but to force our way through.

Let's go!

Wow...

Mr. Akabane did this by himself?

So you've come at last, Midou.

Jackal...

Makubex is right there.

You're fine, I assume?

Of course I am.

Let's go, Ginji.

Right!

The Get Backers are paying a visit!

Say your prayers, Makubex!

This is the end.

Now it's time for the deciding battle.

Ginji Amano

Makubex...

Makubex, wait! Where are you going?

Makubex!

Wait! Makubex!

Makubex!

Makubex!

Where am I?

A pharmacy.

I'm told it's owned by someone named Gen.

Gen? I see...

I found you passed out outside
that strange room.

You're one of Makubex's group, aren't you?

If you knew that, then why?

Well, if I left a pretty girl like you
alone like that there,

there's no telling what would
happen to you, is there?

Thank you. You're kind.

I just hate men who are scum.

Sister? Is that you, Sister?

Juubei, you're alive.

Just barely.

Juubei, your eyes...

I threw Flying Needles at vital points
all over my body.

This might be because I used Black Needles.

But really the true mystery
is why I'm still alive.

What a stupid thing to do.

Sister, it looks like Makubex intends

to make the God of the Limitless
Fortress flip the switch.

But! No, it can't be...

We were making Makubex
shoulder everything.

If that caused him to make a mistake...

Juubei...

Do you know just where Makubex has been
getting that enormous amount of data from?

Makubex said he's been hacking
into Babylon City's databank.

The Archive after all then.

Gramps, what's that?

The theory behind the virtual
realities Makubex uses

was also created from data he
gleaned from the Archive.

He said they were different
from the VRs up until now

that had used 3-D imaging and stereo sound;

that they were built on a totally new theory.

What's this?

A plan of the intelligent building
abandoned before its completion

which makes up the core of the
Limitless Fortress: Babylon Tower.

Perhaps you can understand
what this is about.

Babylon Tower?

What does this mean?

Down to its basic structure, this is completely
different from the Limitless Fortress today.

Why is something like this...

No, it can't be!

Hey, what's the deal?
What are you talking about?

Say, just who are you?

Me?

I'm the root of all of this evil.

I'm the one who raised Makubex.

I ended up leading him down
a mistaken path.

The path of a solitary despot.

Sister...

I'm going too.

Hey, wait! If you overdo it
in that condition...

We have to go. Before things
become irreparable.

I have to stop him,
even at the risk of my life.

You're a real samurai, huh?

I don't know what's going on, but
I have to do my job to the end too.

Sister...

Let's go, Juubei.

I'm sure Makubex is waiting for us.

Why?

Why does everyone...

Ren, your going won't help anything.

I know. I know, but...

There are this many people
who can't abandon you.

Please, notice this, Makubex.

There's also a way left to end the fight
without winning or losing.

We're really pathetic.

I wonder why we're still alive?

It's a total mystery.

Are these guys really virtual?

I just can't see them as anything
but living people.

Yeah, you can say that again.

When I did the Birds and Beasts
Semblance in the battlefield

and used my ears to look it over,
I knew it was just a huge room.

But that's not what's going on
with these guys.

They're exactly like real...

Obviously, this is probably virtual too.

Yeah, I mean, there I am.

I wonder if this is really the day of reckonin'?
What d'ya think, Shido? Mister Kazuki?

You guys have to be jokin'.

I thought you cornered the market on jokes.

I see.

Well, let's fire ourselves up
again and get goin'!

Makubex should be behind that door.

Okay!

Hiya.

Kyouji Kagami, wasn't it?

Nice to see you.

The wounds Himiko and I gave that jerk
are totally healed already.

Never mind that, there's not even
any blood left on him.

What the hell is going on?

Wow, who'd have thought there'd be
a whole four people left?

This is a surprise.

But on the other hand, it's also a shame.

A shame?

Yes, that everything is going according
to Makubex's calculations.

You're quite an odd person.

Why is someone like you from the
High Floors, from Babylon City,

following a single boy from
the Lower Floors this far?

I told you, I'm observing.

Why you...

Ban?

If things go according to
Makubex's calculations,

you four are the only ones
who will come here.

Shido Fuyuki, Threadmaster Kazuki,
and the defector Haruki Emishi

are in battle with the virtual soldiers, and...

"In battle and..." what were
you going to say?

Shido! Kazu! Emishi, even!

Looks like the calculations have
started to go haywire, huh?

If you value your life, get out of the way,
you pretentious bastard.

Just go observe it from the
nosebleed seats.

What we Get Backers are really
capable of, that is!

I see. Certainly this wasn't in
Makubex's calculations.

Whether that was a simple
careless mistake,

or a different solution is
prepared ahead of us.

It looks like there are things left
that I should observe too.

Now, go through.

Makubex is waiting on the
other side of this door.

Ginji...

When we open this door, there's
no turning back anymore.

Then let's go!

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen
of the recovery service.

It's no small-time,
once-in-a-thousand-years love

The sky and earth were moving for the two of us

In those days we had the power
of Buddha, come back

The friendship bracelet I threw
into the midwinter sea

Disappeared without making a sound

In the afternoon, the breakwater
flames bright red

The waves are beautiful like
spangles, aren't they?

They're this beautiful, so smile like that

Don't look back

All right, here I go

Embraced by the storm,
jump from your dreams!

An island eternity crashes against like waves

Seeking an endless clear sky

The injured sea gull flies away too

A hurricane of tears

Finally, this will be the last fight.

I didn't think I'd have a reunion
like this with Makubex.

Why did things turn out this way?

You can ask him that.
That's why you came this far.

That's true. No matter how
this ends, I'm going.

Next time: The Final Fight!
Ginji vs. Makubex

{\pos(190,140)}The Final Fight!
Ginji vs. Makubex

I feel your sadness, Makubex.
