Get Backers (2002–2003): Season 1, Episode 5 - Deathmatch at Sunrise: The Lightning Emperor vs. Dr. J - full transcript

This is the final showdown as the transport service shows up to fight for the box. Ginji wears himself out fight Dr. Jackal.

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?

There, gotcha.

We're going, Ginji!

Yahoo!

We got the target!

Adieu, you two. Let's all work
together again sometime.

This is the beginning of the rabbit hunt.

How do you like it?

That monster truck won't be able to get
into a narrow road like this, will it?

Smart as always, Ban!

Now if we just stay on the backroads,
it'll be an easy win!

That's right! Okay then, so now
we just take it easy...

Hold on!

There's going to be a reckoning for that!

Oh, Nioooo!

We came to retrieve the cargo from you.

The client is waiting, after all.

Ban.

You're saying we'll have to finish
this once and for all, eh?!

It seems you've finally gotten in the mood.

Ban, would you let me be
the one to fight him?

Oh?

It kinda bugs me to have him think
I was defeated with that.

Plus, you've got your own things
to say to Himiko, don't you?

Dammit... don't stick your nose
where it doesn't belong.

But I guess I'll let you have it this time.

But in exchange, if things get bad,
don't wait to...

It's okay. I'll never lose
to a guy like that.

That's true.

Is your conversation finished?

Then let's begin, shall we?

Now...

my opponent is...

Your move just now was quite respectable.

But in the end our ability levels
are too different.

The two of you talked about it, and yet you
still ended up being the one to face me.

I wonder what your friend could be thinking?

You're boring.

Well, well.

Would that be about 200,000 volts?

Not bad.

You're worthy at least of having been
called the Lightning Emperor.

But you see, I'm afraid I'm wearing
highly insulated rubber gloves.

This is...

How's that? Has your boredom
lifted a little?

I see...

I've started to get a little excited...

Ginji Amano.

You get it, don't you? Let's stop
this, already, Himiko.

You talk big!

If I were serious your body would be
torn in five places already.

You can't get upwind of me.

If you can't get upwind, your
poison perfume is useless.

Do you think you're saving me like this?

Do you think you're atoning for
taking my brother's life?

Fine. If that's the way you want it.

Flame perfume can also be used
this way, you know.

Are you stupid? You're being reckless.

What's the matter?
Where's your momentum gone?

You can't use the Jagan on
me anymore, can you!

Because you went and used it to
save that guy Ginji or whoever.

You're unexpectedly foolish too, aren't you?

And here if you'd used your Jagan the right
way, you might've been able to beat us.

Sorry, but I'm a recovery service.

Fighting isn't my job.

You've got some nerve saying that!

Dammit.

When you were the one who killed my
big brother! Don't kid around!

My big brother believed you were
truly one of his own.

And you took his life!

I won't forgive you. I'll never forgive you!

This is the sixth time.

I've got your brain stem. You can't move.

Damn it!

What's the matter? Why don't you
hurry up and do it?!

Just like you did my big brother,
with that hand!

I believed in Yamato, too.

I thought he was truly one of my own.

Of course I can't do it...

You, who were one of my own...

Yamato's sister...

how could l?

Yamato!

B-Ban. Take care... of Himiko.

Yamato! YAMATO!

It was fate.

Huh?

It was fate.

His death was your...
the Last Children's... dammit.

What's that mean?

What's that supposed to mean?!

It's still too early for you to find out.

If you want my life you can have it,
for what it's worth...

all you want of it...

But I can't yet. Not until the time
of my promise to Yamato.

Now then...

What's the matter?

Finished already, Ginji?

Dammit, even if I use electricity to bring his
weapons down, they just keep coming.

At this rate there'll be no end to them.

Where the heck is he concealing
that many of them?

You were so-so.

Thanks to you, I had a bit
of fun on this job.

However, I'd like to move on soon.

Your friend seems like he might provide
a little more amusement.

He has the scent of a kindred, you see.

The same as l... the scent of
a human who likes blood.

That's not even funny.

Don't put Ban in the same class
as someone like you!

Let's end this.

Bloody Rain.

Can you escape from the
pouring death rain?

This is nothing!

My goodness, you got showered with
the red death rain, didn't you?

Why?!

Do you find it mysterious?

It rained down as if it predicted the
direction you would run in.

Perhaps it's what you call
empirical principles.

It's the instinct that comes from experience.

I can tell, you know, from the
battle up until now...

what your next move will be.

There, just now!

Farewell, Ginji Amano.

Kuroudo Akabane

Himiko Kudou

So you've come at last?

Ban Midou.

Ban!

Ugh, what's this? You're a mess!

I've been waiting for you, Midou.

Oh?

I've gotten tired of him, you see.

I was just thinking of going
to where you were.

Gee, thanks.

Sorry, though. I don't feel
like fighting you.

We decided your opponent
was Ginji, you see.

Aha. So are you saying you don't
feel like helping Ginji?

Ginji. Do you want me to help you?

Not one bit!

That's how it is.

I understand. Watch from there, then,
while Ginji is taken down.

You might be the one taken down.

Of course!

Well, this is a surprise.

You still had that much power left?

However. I don't know what you intend
to do, but in that state...

S-So that's it... electricity...

you're drawing out my weapons...

with an electromagnet...

I'll say it one more time.
You'll be the one taken down.

You lose, Doctor Jackal.

Ginji!

I did it.

See, I didn't lose, did I Ban?

Well, I'd score you about a 50, anyway.

But good for you, figuring out that Akabane
had weapons hidden in his body.

In the instant when he drew a
weapon he twitched a little.

So I thought, what if?

That was a pretty big achievement, for you.

So, how were things on your end?
Did you get to talk with Himiko?

Who knows?

My, how truly interesting.

I like you, Get Backers.

It's a lie.

Anything that man said... it's all lies.

Jackal? What happened to them?

It appears they left.

What are you doing, if we don't
follow them fast...

Please do as you like.

Huh?

I'll excuse myself here.

I've already received enough
enjoyment from this job.

You're saying you're quitting?

I've been amply compensated for my time,

and an unexpectedly hard fight has
caused me to shed precious blood.

Naturally, please tell the client I won't
require my share of the pay.

Have you lost your nerve, Doctor Jackal?

You may take it any way you like.

Left, huh.

What is that man thinking?

I've known him a long time, but
I don't get him at all.

So, what do we do, Lady Poison?

Don't worry. Measures have
already been taken.

But man, this job was a hard one, huh Ban?

Yeah. Well, but it looks like
we'll manage it.

Yup, yup.

But I wonder if it was okay
to leave Jackal like that.

As if he would kick the bucket that easily.

I have a feeling that might make
the revenge scarier.

Oh, hey, we're almost to Shinjuku!

Yeah.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but it's
like even the smell of it is different.

You're right, somehow even the smell...

What's wrong? Ban?

Never mind, just get away
from the car, fast!

Huh? What do you mean,
"get away"...

Ginji!

My body... what's going on?

It's timed perfume.

Timed perfume?

At the time set during its preparation,

it'll go off like clockwork and stop
your opponent from moving.

Dammit! That wench, when did
she put it in the car?

Now what will you do, Ban Midou?

You can't use the Jagan on me or
on Mr. Maguruma anymore.

I win.

Ban...

It couldn't be the Jagan?!

I can't see out the front!

He shouldn't be able to use the
Jagan on us anymore...

How?!

Did you have a good dream?

Y-You used the Jagan on the crows?

That's...

You weren't careful enough
at the end, Himiko.

You can't kill me that easily.

Got the antidote perfume!

It was this one that could cancel out
any poison, wasn't it?

I'll take it with me as payment
for the shirt.

What?!

Now that I look at you like this, you've
grown up a lot, haven't you?

In the time I haven't seen you.

Do a little more growing up
in here too, now.

Before the next time we see each other.

It's because you were slow!

It was your timing with the Jagan!

Geez! You're such a brat!

YOU'RE a brat! Right, big brother?

Big brother, you say something, too!

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Before the next job, both of you
do a little growing up.

What did you say?!

Big brother!

Next time we see each other,
I'll defeat you for sure!

Quiet, you little whelp.

Himiko.

Mr. Maguruma.

Are you satisfied?

I'm not satisfied, but it doesn't
matter anymore.

I don't get Jackal, but I don't get
this woman, either.

This scent is just like it used to be, huh.

Aw, for it to come this far and quit on us...

we've got no luck, do we, Ban?

You're not going to ask?

Huh?

I mean about me and Himiko.

About why she would target me.

A long time ago, I once teamed up
with her and her big brother.

Well, it was only six months or so,

but to me they were the first
friends I ever had.

But see, l... her big brother, l...

It's okay, Ban.

Huh?

It's okay, 'cause I believe in you.

Back then, you were the one who told me!

That the "s" in "Get Backers" means
it's not just one person alone.

So don't you take everything on
all by yourself, either. I'll...

Heh, you just sleep!

I'll get the platinum all alone.

Ban, that's mean!

The "s" in "Get Backers" means...

Shut up! Money's a separate issue!

What, that's not fair!

Got it.

I said I got it!

Right, right, see you later.

Was that from them?

Yep. The assignment is safely completed.

They say they just got to
Mr. Ohtaki's house.

Oh, good!

It looks like this time their tab will
finally be paid, right Master?

I'm not sure about that.

Huh?

I mean, they...

have no luck with money.

Huh? What does that mean?

Ah, yes, you did a good job.

When I heard this Platinum Melon had
been stolen, I feared the worst.

The truly legendary melon

said to only be available once in
five years, no, in ten years.

As promised, the two of you have been
cut one tenth, or one-twentieth each.

Come now, neither of you hold back,
taste this delectable flavor.

Wha... what are you doing?!
That's my Platinum Melon...

You hoodlums! Men, attack them!
Attack!

Just watch, I'll eat it!

Hey, it's good.

This Platinum is awesome!

I can't yet crack open the glasswork
deep in my heart

I believe only in you

I feel the refrain

The well-trod distance to the train station

And the vending machine I leaned on,
unable to go home

You're nowhere to be found

My heart can't be honest

Where in the world are you?

I keep searching for you over and over

I can't yet crack open the glasswork
deep in my heart

I believe only in you

I feel the refrain

This time they say our client is a
young girl, a famous violinist!

Don't go getting all goopy over her!

But she really is cute, and she's brave,
and I want to help her, and... huh?

What is it, Ginji?

This feels really nostalgic somehow.

It might not just be your imagination.

Next time: "Get Back the Divine Melody!"

Next Get Backers:
Get Back the Divine Melody!
Next time: "Get Back the Divine Melody!"

Next Get Backers:
Get Back the Divine Melody!
I'll show you what it means
to be outclassed!

Next Get Backers:
Get Back the Divine Melody!
