Get Backers (2002–2003): Season 1, Episode 7 - The Animal Transformation of the Beastmaster - full transcript

Ban and Shido fight it out, and we see Shido's animal transformations for the first time as he goes on to battle former co-worker Kurobe after Akutsu decides to change his plans and destroy the violin and Madoka.

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?

Please! Please believe me!

Please, won't you get back
the real one for me?

By seven o'clock tomorrow night?

I'll teach you what it means
to be outclassed!

All right, here I come.

Bring it on.

Become their prey!

No need to hold back. Chew him up!

You're the one who's going
to be chewed up.

Impossible!

That many of them, in one instant?!

Damn! Where did he go?!

Right here!

Birds, attack!

Have you figured out your place
in the scheme of things?

It's useless! There's no way you can
escape from my Snakebite.

If I put a little bit more force
into this right now,

what do you think would happen?

If you don't want to die, don't give
Ginji and me any more trouble!

Got that?

Ginji and me?! You've got the nerve
to pretend you're on his side?

I know. I know what kind of
bastard you really are!

Ginji is a man we need!

He can't just be hanging out with someone
like you running a recovery service!

Basically, you're saying you don't intend
to stop making trouble, huh?

Of course!

All right, then!

Don't move!

If you move, these threads
will sever your wrists.

Kazuki! Your meddling isn't needed!

So you're Threadmaster Kazuki?
I've heard the rumors.

Please stand down, Ban Midou!

I don't intend to join the fight,

but I also can't very well let
Shido get killed, you see.

Even you can't think of making enemies
of both of us at once.

It makes no difference to me.

I'll take you both on,
and I'll take you down!

Just kidding!

Come on, don't take it seriously.

It's not like I came here
to have a death-match.

The fact is, if I can recover the violin,
that's good enough for me.

Yes, this is Ban, hurtling along
the highway of invincibility!

Hey, Ban, can you hear me?

Oh, Ginji, is that you?

Madoka found our target, so we're
heading into the recovery now!

Okay! Got it. I'll come right away.

And so, excuse me!

An incomprehensible man, isn't he?

In what way?! He ran away!
He was scared, that's all!

But that killing aura that
woke the wild birds...

That was no ordinary thing.

It would've only taken me a little longer.

I made him use up his Jagan after all.

Anyway, I'm not going to step down.

My precious animals were killed.

I can't let Ginji hang out with
a cruel bastard like that.

That bastard, without killing
a single one, he...

I guess

he really might be an
incomprehensible guy.

Say, are you sure this isn't a trap?

Miss Hevn, you're heavy!

Shut up!

Was it from over there that you
heard the violin sounds?

Yes, I don't think there's any mistake.

It's got to be a trap!

We should wait for Ban, and do
something with the Jagan.

Hey, wait, Gin!

It's okay, I have a good strategy!

Let's get it right away
before Ban gets here.

What? It's not even locked.

What's this? There's another door inside.

Mr. Ginji!

Ryuudou Hishiki...

Gin, this guy's a protection service
known as the Undead!

What's a protection service
guy doing here?!

Jeez, the wall is broken.

That's why I said this was a trap!

I applied myself there, but...
How did it work?

Doesn't this guy have any weak points?

Don't ask me!

Mr. Ginji!

I found them!

Over there!

Gin!

Damn, it's earlier than I planned,
but at this point

there's nothing to do but
carry out the strategy!

Why, you...

What's this?!

A power outage?!

All right, the circuit breaker is blown!

Do you know where it is, Madoka?

Yes, I can sense it!

Will you lead us there?

Wait a second, please!

What?!

I got back at the man who
was mean to Mr. Ginji.

He had a weak point.

I hear that hurts!

They went that way!
I hear that hurts!

They went that way!

OW!

Mr. Ban?

Natsumi! Then who's this rock-head?

It's me!

Damn you, Ginji!
You did this, didn't you?!

Don't try to pass it off on him!

Mr. Ginji, Miss Hevn, this way!

Is it in here?

Yes...

A magnificent performance,
you may well be a genius.

But as I thought, you aren't
worthy of that Stradivarius!

Really, what an unreliable lot.

I came to have you return my Stradivarius.

Madoka, it seems you misunderstand
something a little.

This is an instrument I was originally
supposed to receive.

Our teacher had no intention
of entrusting that to you,

even if I hadn't been there.

Oh?

The Maestro said so.

He said that your technique was the
greatest of all his pupils, but...

That the sounds I play don't
echo in the heart?

Take it and go.

Why?

I thought if I got that, I might also get
sounds that echo in the heart.

But it seems that was a fantasy.

Mr. Akutsu...

Tomorrow... No, I guess it's
today already.

Maestro Visconti is coming to hear
your concert incognito, isn't he?

Yes.

Make it a good performance.

After all, the ailing Maestro is shaving off
days of his life to come to Japan, right?

Yes...

Boy, that's great, isn't it Madoka?

Come on, let's go.

Is this all right, Mr. Shunsuke?

Do you remember, Kurobe?

The time I went over to Italy?

Yes, in spite of the opposition
from your father.

A full fifteen years ago now, is it?

I didn't want to be the successor to a
yakuza-wannabe corrupt financier, you see.

I sincerely meant to be the greatest
violinist in the world.

I studied under Antonio Visconti,

who was said to be the last virtuoso
of the twentieth century,

and after five years I was even
able to open concerts

in the small performance halls of Italy.

I think it was around that time too,
that my relationship with

the Mafiosi that run industrial
enterprises began.

And before I knew it, I had become a man
of influence in the underworld.

Even more so than the father
I held in contempt.

Mr. Shunsuke...

That girl Madoka Otowa has what I don't.

What I couldn't obtain no matter
how hard I struggled.

I was a little reluctant to settle
things in my usual fashion.

But seemingly I've made a decision.

It appears there's only one way
to relieve this displeasure

that's so hard to live with after all.

Has there been any contact
from Shido Fuyuki?

Once, before the power outage.

He said that one of the recoverers
uses a Jagan as his trump card,

and that he's made that man use it
up to its three-time limit.

Is that so?

It's just, he...

Sir, if he knew your thoughts,
we do not know what he would do.

That's what you're here for,
isn't it, Kurobe?

You siblings who have consigned countless
enemies to oblivion for my father's sake,

I believe your brutal skills
haven't gone rusty?

Show no mercy to those
who get in our way.

Consign that girl to darkness along
with the Stradivarius!

Yes, Sir.

Ban Midou

Ginji Amano

He's called Maestro of the Underworld
and whatnot,

so I thought he'd be a really bad guy.

But he was a surprisingly good person.

I hope that's really true, but...

What?

OW!

Why, you...

Ban, we made the recovery!

You're kidding.

Right, Madoka?

Yes, safely!

All right, good job! With this,
the recovery fee is ours!

The word mercenary was made
just for you, huh, Ban?

I found them! This way!
The word mercenary was made
just for you, huh, Ban?

Damn.

They're coming from this direction too!

We've been surrounded!

Shall we get flashy for a little bit, Ginji?

Absolutely!

YAHOO!

Come on!

Go, Madoka!

Right!

Hey, this is the second floor!

It's okay!

I won't let you get away!

Here I come!

Nice, Madoka!

Here comes Natsumi!

I'm bad with heights.

No whining!

Outside!

Follow them!

Miss!

Mr. Sugawara?! What are you doing here?

I was so worried I couldn't stand it.
Please get in, quickly!

That sure saved us.

Running all the way to the
Ladybug's hiding place

really would've tired us out, huh?

Thank you, Mr. Sugawara.

No, no, I'm just glad you're all right.

Never mind me, what became of
the Stradivarius?

As you can see, it's safe.

Is that right? That's truly good to hear.

Oh, excuse me, but would you mind
dropping us off here?

Of course.

Okay, we'll leave it up to you
from here, Mister!

Yes...

Yes.

The recovery service just
got out of the car.

There's been a change of plans.

Bury the girl along with the Stradivarius.

Yes, big brother.

That Ginji, what's fun about hanging
out with a group like that?

Is it all right to let them go like that?

Isn't your job to protect the Stradivarius?

That will come back any time.

Whenever I want it to.

What does that mean, Shido?

The dog the client girl had with her.

That seeing-eye dog?
Wasn't it called Mozart?

He's one of my own now,

ever since the time we met
inside the estate.

If I order him to, Mozart will come
bring back the violin any time.

My Beast Whistle carries
for two kilometers.

If I whistle, like this, I win.

Aren't you going to whistle?

I kind of want to hear it.

The Stradivarius or whatever it's
called, while she's playing it.

Well, a job is a job.

Well then, I'll bow out here.

Right.

Oh, it's old man Kurobe.
You startled me.

With or without your worrying,
I'm getting the violin ba...

It's over.

Mr. Shunsuke has changed his mind.

He no longer has any business
with the Stradivarius.

He said to bury it along with the girl.

From now on, this job belongs to me.

To Kazuma Kurobe, the disposal service.

That girl's got the recovery service
on her side, you know.

You think you can take those two?

As far as those two are concerned,

there's been a report that they've
gotten out of the car.

Old man!

Well, now.

Do you want to fight me?

I won't let you kill her!

Praying Mantis Sword: Dance of the Void!

Followed them, did you?

Even if you go after them now,
you'll be too late.

I'm truly relieved that you're
all right, Miss Madoka.

In the mere six months since
I came to the Otowa home,

the Stradivarius was replaced, and your
father was suddenly taken ill.

Bad things just keep happening.

But it isn't your fault.

It is all my fault.

You said you were going to engage
a recovery service,

so I even went to the trouble of using
delinquents to give you a warning.

It's a pity it turned out this way.

Mr. Sugawara...

I am not Sugawara.

My real name is Tsuguma Kurobe.

From the time of Mr. Shunsuke Akutsu's
honorable father,

I've been employed as a disposal service.

Madoka, quick, run!

It won't open?!

Neither will this one!

Hey, you, open this up!

Goodnight.
Hey, you, open this up!

Goodnight.

Shall I lend you a hand?

Mozart!

Mozart?

Mozart!

I'll soon let you follow as well.

No!

It's no use, Miss.

This is called a Centipede Nunchucks.
It's a weapon patterned after a centipede.

If you get caught by these hooks,
you'll end up shredded to bits.

Mr. Sugawa...

I'm Tsuguma Kurobe.

Now, goodnight, Miss!

A centipede?

What?! What's this?!

Big brother, save me!

Just one minute.

Did you have a good dream?

What?! You two!

You say that was a dream?!

When I got out of the car, our eyes met
through the window, didn't they?

In that moment, you were lost in
the Jagan's illusions.

You were wandering in a long nightmare
that in real time was only a minute long.

But how did you know Mr. Sugawara
was a bad person?

When you first came to hire us,
he came to Paul's place

like he'd gotten there ahead
of you, didn't he?

And tonight was the same pattern again.

A coincidence like that doesn't happen twice,

particularly in the hard-knock life
we've been living.

This... This is the Jagan?

The Jagan, you say?!

Shido!

Why, you! What's the meaning of this?!

The Jagan can only be used
three times in 24 hours!

Yeah, this is the third time.

I saw you! I saw you use the
third Jagan on the birds.

That was the Jagan.

You don't mean...

Yep, from the first time our eyes met,

you were seeing an illusion where
I used the Jagan twice.

How much?

Just how much was an illusion?!

Well now, I wonder?

You scammer!

You traitor!

You're the scammer!

This misconduct deserves death.

Kazuma Kurobe will exact
blood punishment!

This is moronic.

I'm not in with that recovery service.

I'm going home.

Shido, would you help us?

You sure change your tune fast,

as if you didn't leave us behind and start a
recovery service with a bastard like him.

Do you know what happened
to VOLTS after that?

I'm sorry.

Those two will never acknowledge
you after that,

even if Kazuki or I acknowledge you.

Shido...

Hey, Ban Midou, don't go thinking
you won like that.

Now I'll show you what I'm like
when I'm serious.

Do whatever you want.

But that guy doesn't seem nice like me.

Are you a monkey?!

Hundred Beast Semblance!

What?!

Monkey Semblance!

What the heck is that?

I don't really know much about it, but
I've heard Shido's a descendant

of these Maryuudo aborigines called
the Forest People or something.

Hishiki!

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

Rain?

I guess I've got no choice.

If this is how it is, I'm going
to play my trump card!

Okay everyone, now's the time!

I won't let you escape.

Why, you are stupid, aren't you?

And here being a good boy would be
in your best interests too.

That's how it is.

Why, you!

Whoops, there.

Centipede Nunchucks Technique:
Bite Attack!

You got careless not knowing that
my staff extended, didn't you?

Spin like a top, and be torn apart!

What? The chains have been cut?!

Hey, are you really that guy's
younger brother?

You're not like him at all.

Oh, I get it. You don't look like him
because you have hair.

Snakebite!

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

I want to really hear Madoka's violin.

They say the timbre of a violin is a
mirror that reflects the heart.

Then hers would be really pretty, huh?

For the sake of that sound I have to
use my power to the limit,

or I won't be able to beat the
protection service guy.

You aren't... Ginji, stop!
Don't overdo it!

Next time: Timbre of Life, Resound!

Next Get Backers:
Timbre of Life, Resound!
Next time: Timbre of Life, Resound!

Next Get Backers:
Timbre of Life, Resound!
It will definitely reach everyone's hearts.

Next Get Backers:
Timbre of Life, Resound!
