I bow before thee and repent my sins.
Even such a disobedient one as I.
Cure me of my despair and cleanse me of my crimes.
Come to my side and save me.
Come to my side

Save me.
Hera...
Say, guys...
Twenty-five percent is enough! Even thirty percent is cheap!
Both of you calm down, okay?
It's started up again, right, Master?
Every single time. I'm amazed they keep it up.
Is it okay not to stop them?
And it's not like Ban's got any money, so he's going to end up taking on the job anyway.
Every single job you bring in is a risky one.
And you always take away a full thirty percent, you...
My, my, are you scared?
So the slogan on that cup is a big bluff, huh?
What?!
The Invincible Man For the Exclusive Use of Ban the Great
That's not the issue.
We're the ones busting our butts and risking our lives in the recovery business, you know.
I don't like someone who's just negotiating walking away with thirty percent.
I'm just charging my rightful fee as the negotiator.
If you don't like it, why don't you get jobs yourselves?
You talk big for someone with zero business sense.
Well then, maybe I'll just give this job to someone else.
That's right, maybe I'll ask Shido or something!
Well now, if you're going that far, we can make your share twenty-eight percent.
No thanks.
Wait, Miss Hevn!
Really we're in trouble because we don't have any jobs, so...
Idiot! Don't tell her things that aren't her business!
Welcome!
It hurts, it hurts, Ban.
You're...
Clayman!
Hi there, you two.
What is it? What's up? Long time no see!
Today I thought I'd ask you two to do a job for me.
Hey, wait, you don't mean...
Well, now, don't stand there. Please, come inside!
You see, we just now had a cancellation, so there's an opening in our schedule.
How about that, Hevn? Even without getting jobs from you...
Miss Hevn's already gone home.
Don't blame me if your next job never comes.
As if I care! Now, then!
What kind of a job will this be, Ma'am?
I never thought Clayman would come to hire those guys.
It looks like there'll be trouble.
Nothing I can do, I guess. I've got a job to do too after all.
No hard feelings, you two.
Hello, it's Hevn.
Thanks.
Right, I'd like you to do a job for me.
I'm sure you know what this is.
It's the Statue of Liberty, right?
It's the Venus de Milo!
Its size and pose are completely different!
That's right, it's the Venus de Milo on display at the Louvre in Paris.
Have you ever seen the real thing?
Yeah.
Wow, Mr. Ban, you've seen it?
What was it like?
The hand of a god made that thing.
The hand of a god?
No, maybe it was a devil who gave it that power to charm the people who see it.
A god or a devil...
In 1820, a Greek farmer found two hunks of marble in his field.
A young Frenchman, Olivier Voultier, became interested in them
and made him look for more of the same thing.
That was what determined the fate of the most beautiful woman in this world.
When he put all six marble stones together like a jigsaw puzzle,
that was the birth of the Venus de Milo.
Birth, huh?
Since then, it's been subjected to the whims of fortune,
and now it's reigning like a queen in a great hall in the Louvre.
I want you two to save this goddess's statue for me.
Hey, hold it. Are you telling us to raid the Louvre?
I get it!
The one who's got ice cream in her hand is the Statue of Liberty,
and the one who doesn't is Venus!
See you when you get back.
See you when I get back!
Sheesh...
I'm home.
But say, how come this statue's arms are missing?
Are you curious about what her arms were like?
Huh?
Scholars have put forward various theories regarding her arms.
"A woman who holds an apple," or "a lady carrying a water jar."
The speculation was limitless, and that made her beauty even greater,
charming even more people.
Her lost arms are the eternal mystery passed down from generation to generation even today.
And until now, there was no one anywhere who knew of the existence of those arms.
Hey, you're not saying...
Yes. What I want you two to recover,
is what some say don't exist,
the lost arms of Venus de Milo.
The lost arms? Are you sure they're not fake?
No, the lost arms exist.
Right now, the arms of Venus are headed toward an auction hall on a small island.
If they're joined with the replica of the body waiting in that hall,
the mystic beauty of Venus will be lost.
Before that happens, I want you to get back that eternal beauty.
Get back over here.
Let's be sure of one thing first. This is a recovery, right?
Our job is to get things back, and nothing else.
We want no part in a robbery.
Of course.
Then, Ban...
Yeah!
We Get Backers have taken on this assignment for sure.
What do you think of this Venus statue, Miss Hera?
It's magnificent, Mr. Ryuu.
Although it would be even more wonderful if it were the real one.
It's no different than the real one.
It's a perfect replica, reproduced by taking precise readings via scanner
of the real one in the Louvre.
If the arms you're carrying fit together perfectly with this,
you can prove they're the real thing.
Mr. Ryuu, the image of me joining Venus's arms to her will be broadcast
all over the world via satellite, just like you promised, right?
But of course.
This Missing Art Auction is the center of collectors' attention.
And this time, the most eye-catching of the various items on exhibit
are the Lost Arms of Venus.
Billionaires, famous artists, and the like from all over the world are gathering on this boat as well,
wanting to witness the historical moment when the Venus is completed.
Among them are friends of mine.
How would you like to take some wine together?
Friends? Don't you mean partners in trade?
Excuse me.
Leave it, Shakuryuu, Hyouko.
She's a shrewd woman.
Are you there?
What about the lost arms?
Right now the transporter is watching them.
I see...
There's a report that a group is targeting those arms of Venus.
I'll have you do your job well too,
Mr. Natsuhiko Miroku, protection service.
Of course.
You don't even have to tell me so.
Ban Midou
Ginji Amano
Miss Clayman's really generous with her money, huh?
She even arranged the flight to Okinawa.
It's only natural that she do that much.
But who'd have thought a ship would leave from a place like this?
Hey, since we came all the way here and everything, let's go sightseeing and stuff!
We don't have time for that! Hurry up, we're going.
Ban, you're so stingy!
Now, the harbor is...
Folks over there, are ya in some kinda trouble?
Yeah, perfect timing...
Is somethin' wrong?
I'm a friendly local native.
Please feel free to talk to me about it.
We want you to tell us how to get to the harbor, Emi...
Nothin' could be simpler!
How about I take ya there?
C'mon, get in back.
Say, Emi...
No, no! No need for ya to thank me.
I'm sure you'd do the same.
So, shall we go, Get Backers?
Long time no see, huh?
It is Emishi.
Hey, what do you think you're doing?!
I'm really sorry, but I was invited by someone Miss Hevn hired, see.
I'm doin' a little migrant workin' outside the Limitless Fortress, I guess ya could say.
Quit screwing around, you bastard! Let us out!
This is mean, Emishi!
Well, leave the Venus de Milo to us and take it easy on the pig farm.
Come on, let us out!
Emishi!
Oink!
Oink oink! Oink oink!
No point in makin' a racket. I can't let ya out.
Okay, here we go!
Things have kinda turned into a pain, huh?
Who knew Hevn's job involved the arms of Venus too.
If Emishi's someone's partner, that must mean...
It's probably him.
Pig Farm
Did you have a dream?
I'm sorry! This was the failure of a lifetime for me, Haruki Emishi!
Dammit, next time I see them I'll give them a whippin'!
Don't worry about it.
Making him use the Jagan once was excellent.
We're rivals targeting the same prey this time after all.
Oh, Aristotle, is there that way of lookin' at it too?
The game is just beginning.
Wow, some luxury liner.
Don't you think something's off here?
The passengers on that ship.
From what Clayman says, they're auction participants,
but they look really fishy.
You're right. There's a lot of scary-looking people.
This reeks of bad news.
In the first place, for Clayman to hire us for a job she'd normally clean up herself,
something's got to be up.
Who's there?! Emishi? Or is it Shido?
No, Ginji. This guy is...
I remember this feeling way too well.
We meet again.
We have quite the karmic connection, don't we Get Backers?
Akabane...
I thought this was just a boring job of transporting artwork to the auction hall,
but I was right to take it on.
Please don't drop out of the game easily or anything like that,
and bring me as much enjoyment as you can.
Ginji, I'm going!
Ban!
That's right, that's the spirit.
It'd be dangerous not to get serious with you after all.
I won't pull my punches.
Wow, Ban!
Go at Mr. Akabane just like that and...
Wait, what?
Ban, where are you going?
Moron! We're skipping out right now!
Hey, wait for me!
I see. Your skills are as great as rumor says they are, Doctor Jackal.
Natsuhiko Miroku...
But it's a little disappointing.
What is?
Who would've thought the person Ban Midou is partnering up with would be a little boy like that?
Shall I tell you that little boy's nickname?
Nickname?
The Limitless Fortress's Lightning Emperor.
Well, now. That little thing is?
So don't let down your guard.
By the way, do you know Ban Midou?
Ban Midou is a friend of mine.
And he's also the guy I want to kill most in all this world.
Ban, this is really tight!
Be quiet! If we blend in with the luggage and infiltrate like this...
There's some more over here too.
Bring it over here!
Wait. What is that barrel?
It's a barrel of wine to be put out at the party.
You two, get back.
Joined!
You should've been less stingy and used the Jagan after all, huh?
Now there's no choice but to force our way on board!
Make the ship set sail! Right now!
Yes, Sir!
Here we go!
Ban!
No one can ever evade the Thin-Ice Sword of the Gishi people!
Don't get a big head!
Goshi Ghost Fire Punch!
Hot, hot, hot, hot!
Ginji, run.
What about you?
I'll clean this up in five seconds and go right after you.
Go.
I'll take you both on.
Hey, don't run away, you!
Damn...
Ban! Hurry!
I know!
Dammit, don't underestimate me!
Natsuhiko Miroku...
Ban!

Shut up! Quit fussing!
Would I kick the bucket because of a little thing like this?!
Don't leave me alone. Mr. Akabane is here, you know!
It's him you're worried about?
And when I'm by myself I don't know what to do!
But there's someone who'll help me here too!
No, wait, that guy is...
Next time: "Mystery Assassins: The Miroku Brothers"
