Get Backers (2002–2003): Season 1, Episode 24 - The Final Fight! Ginji vs. Makubex - full transcript
The recovery team tries in vain to reason with Makubex. When that doesn't work, Ginji fights him in a virtual space of Makubex's own making. Ban figures out one of the secrets of the Limitless Fortress and reveals it.

For them to come all the way here...
Were your calculations mistaken?
Or is this exactly what you
wanted, Makubex?
I'll take my time observing what kind
of conclusion this comes to.
This is truly interesting.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen
of the recovery service.
What is this room?
A VR again, huh?
Makubex...
So you did come, Mr. Ginji.
I never thought I'd see you again like this.
Me either.
Please give IL back, Makubex!
It's our job to bring that back with us.
Oh, really?
Don't play around, you damn brat.
We're telling you to give back the fuse to that
atom bomb you're sneaking around building!
Now that I can't do.
What did you say, you little...
Makubex! You're making a mistake.
There should be a way for you to get the
freedom you want even without IL!
We'll do anything we can
to help you do that!
You're as good-natured as always,
aren't you, Kazuki?
Do you think that kind of persuasion
will change my mind now?
Makubex!
Stop it, already!
I can't watch. It's too painful.
You're too smart!
In this world, there are things
it's okay to not understand!
Both here in the Limitless Fortress
and in the world outside!
There is no world outside.
Not for me.
This is everything.
Both in the past and from now on too.
When we were in VOLTS, weren't you the one
who wanted to leave here the most?!
So why...
There's a really wide world outside
this Limitless Fortress, right?
I wonder what it's like?
Hey, Shido and Kazuki, you came from
outside, so you know, right?
Yes, but what I know really isn't that much.
And the outside has its own
harshness and ugliness too.
It's not all good things.
But I still want to see it!
With my own eyes!
Mr. Ginji, you want to see it too, right?
Someday let's go see it together!
It's a promise!
I just wanted to know
about things like the Limitless Fortress
and the world outside.
I wanted to understand everything there is.
And now I'm trying to grab hold of the truth.
Hey, Makubex.
Weren't ya going to lead us?
We believed in ya, ya know!
No, we still believe.
Juubei and Miss Sakura do too.
So we're worryin' about ya.
Ya get that, don't ya?
Makubex...
My job is to transport IL to the client.
Pointless reasoning is unnecessary.
Let's begin.
Wait.
What is it, Ginji?
You don't intend to say you'll end this
with conversation, I hope?
I'll fight...
Do what you want, Ginji.
I won't let anything get in your way.
There's no choice.
I'll stop you, Makubex!
Come on, Ginji Amano.
He's fast!
So-so, I'd say.
He blocked it?
No, this settles it.
What good is hitting your
own people, you ass?!
No, that wasn't me.
No, that was the attack
that you aimed at me.
What?
Whatever you do will be useless.
Ever since you all came in here,
you've been under my control.
You see, this place is my womb!
What?!
Gross! What is this?!
A virtual reality again?
Give it a rest, you damn brat!
Virtual reality?
Kazu!
Even you, the great Threadmaster Kazuki,
can barely manage to stand.
What the hell's going on?
Quite real, isn't it? I can't think
of it as a fabrication at all.
This is warm!
Now do you understand a little bit
that this is my womb?
You've got perverted taste.
Is this really virtual? It looks like
it's got to be the real thing.
Reality or virtual reality?
Where's the borderline?
If you can feel this much presence,
don't you start to feel like
there isn't much difference between them?
Perhaps everything is one night's worth
of someone's dreaming.
All of you.
And me as well.
Makubex.
You're hurting, aren't you, Makubex?
So much that you want to just disappear.
Hurting?
I don't understand the difficult stuff,
but I feel it.
I feel your suffering.
Let's fight, Makubex!
That's what you want too, right?
You shouldn't have enough power left to
become the Lightning Emperor any more.
Do you still think you can win?
Inside my womb, where my will rules?
I'll win.
Gin...
Shut up and watch, monkey trainer.
This'll be the final fight.
Don't you dare lose using the
name Get Backers, Ginji!
I know. Leave it to me!
Okay, here I come!
Burst open!
Gin!
Get out of the way, snakeboy!
I told you to watch from where you are.
At this rate, Ginji will...
Ginji's been set as his opponent.
Don't interfere.
This again?
If you posture like that, you'll
lose your precious partner.
If that happens, there's no help for it.
Aren't ya his friend?! That's cold.
That's not it, Emishi.
He believes in Mr. Ginji.
Do you still say you can
win against me?
I will win.
I see.
The Lightning Emperor's power, huh?
I'll win.
That's for your sake too.
Ginji Amano
I've been afraid a day like this
would come someday.
Ever since I took in that baby.
There, there.
There, there.
Makube
There, there.
Makube
Gramps, look, look!
Something interesting came up!
Oh, show me.
This is...
Gramps?
Just where did you find this?
It looked interesting, so I tried
unlocking it and it just came up.
This child may be a child of
the Limitless Fortress.
Gramps!
I'm going to the Lightning Emperor!
I'm going to join VOLTS!
What?
You can't stop me. I've already decided.
From now on I'm going to use this
power of mine to help Mr. Ginji!
Perhaps I thought the crime I committed
would be forgiven if I raised that boy.
For that to end up like this...
Is this inescapable destiny after all?
Makubex, what you're trying
to do is too reckless.
The God of the Limitless Fortress
will never accept the deal.
When that doesn't happen, do you mean to
commit a crime that can't be taken back too?
No, they, perhaps, can stop
this chain of events.
Is Makubex's room really this way?
Yes, we're very close.
Let's hurry, Sister.
The fight has already started.
Juubei?!
I'm all right.
Why do you go when it does
you that much harm?
Makubex rules this Limitless Fortress
through fear,
and you guys were sacrificed like pawns!
We believe in Makubex.
No, we above all people want
to believe in him.
In his true heart.
You mean...
He's suffering too. We're doing
this because we know that.
Then why is he doing something like this?!
We have to go find that out.
I don't get it! Mr. Kazuki and the others
were wounded so badly too.
Sure, probably wounded people like us
won't be useful even if we go.
But there's nothing for us to do but to see
the end with our own eyes, right?
Right.
Let's go.
Like Makubex says, this space must be
governed by his rules.
But Mr. Ginji hasn't fallen
a single step behind.
What is this?
Ginji knows the way fights work here.
The way fights work here?
For the Threadmaster Kazuki,
you're surprisingly dense.
Why was it that Ginji was called the ruler of
Lower Town here in the Limitless Fortress?
It wasn't just the haphazard strength that he has
when he's in Lightning Emperor mode, right?
No.
He had a mysterious charm to him.
I, who had my own group,
and Shido, who was all right with
being alone, were drawn to him.
And all kinds of people
besides us followed him.
He had a mystique about him that
made him seem like the Messiah.
It wasn't just that strength;
it was like for some reason things just
went the way he wanted them to.
Could it be...
It doesn't look like he's doing it
intentionally though.
In other words, virtual reality-induced miracles
like what Makubex is now causing,
Ginji can also cause?
That's the deal.
This is related to his ability
to generate electricity
and how he's also generating especially
strong electromagnetic waves.
What do you mean?
I wonder if the things we've seen since we
entered the Limitless Fortress are really real?
You guys have seen it all too!
Strange phenomena you wouldn't even imagine
on the outside happen one after the other,
and inhuman monsters pop up
all over the damn place.
In here wounds heal uncannily fast,
and powers strengthen.
Did all of that stuff really happen?
I don't know what kind of setup this is,
but the bastard ruling this place, the
God of the Limitless Fortress or whoever,
is producing electromagnetic waves of some
kind that make our brains perceive
a virtual world that's indistinguishable
from reality!
That's the answer to the mystery of
the Limitless Fortress?
Hold on a second!
Then the things happening here inside
the Limitless Fortress are...
Basically, the inside of the Limitless
Fortress is a half-virtual space
where reality and VR are mingled.
That Makubex bastard is using
his own mother system
to manage the same kind
of virtual realities.
This weird space is one of them.
But the fact that Mr. Ginji is more than
holding his own with Makubex,
who's freely commanding this space, is...
Here, if he wants it strongly enough
it will become reality.
Of course, the bastard doesn't get
all that complicated reasoning.
Ginji just feels it, is all.
And also how dangerous it is.
Do you get it?
It isn't that Ginji abandoned you guys
and left the Limitless Fortress.
He was uncertain about being here.
What are you doing, lightning boy?
You still wanna go at it?
You put on a real show, didn't you?
This is your home, isn't it?
Pull your punches a little.
I can't.
When I become the Lightning Emperor,
my mind goes blank.
After everything is over, that's when
I notice what I've done.
As long as I'm here in the Limitless Fortress,
my power will never run out.
And I'll become more and more not myself,
and someday the time will come when I'll
become totally the Lightning Emperor.
I am the Lightning Emperor of VOLTS.
I have a duty to protect everyone.
I want to protect everyone.
But...
If you're brooding that much over it,
you can just leave.
You can just leave this place.
Even if he didn't understand it
with his head, he knew.
He knew the effect his powers had
on this Limitless Fortress.
That it was a strong power,
unrelated to good and evil,
and that someday it might make the
Limitless Fortress collapse.
So Ginji had to leave this place.
To protect you guys.
Mr. Ginji...
Dammit! If that's the deal,
say so from the start!
What the hell were we lookin' at?
Then why not tell that boy about it too?
This is happening because of a
misunderstanding, isn't it?
We don't know whether or not
they can hear us now.
No, it ends now!
It's over!
Makubex...
Is disappearing?!
He put one over on us!
Dammit, you pulled off a good one,
Makubex, you bastard.
Then...
Everything up until now was virtual?
That's unmistakably the real Makubex.
Without any tricks this time.
Makubex!
I win, Mr. Ginji.
The atom bomb is complete.
I see, so while you were buying
time you completed it.
What a shame for you.
Makubex...

Going on about all that reasoning,
he was just buying time?!
I don't understand difficult stuff.
But is this really what you wanted?
Is it, Makubex?!
Go, Ginji, so that this time you
won't have any regrets.
I will definitely get your smile back.
