At the end of the pain you bear
A possibility you'd lost track of is waiting
You'll soon forget even your tears
And be drowned in a new pleasure
The story of history, striving towards its destruction
If I'm with you, it's not that scary
Even now, the hopeless world
Seems like it'll end, but it isn't ending
I'm sure the scene you've half given up on
Will look rose-colored if we're together too
Is it you, Miss Hevn?! It's an emergency!
What was that? Lighting?
Mr. Ginji and Mr. Ban...
It's an emergency with the two of them!
That one tingled.
Is this for real, Ban?
Do you know what you're doing?!
You've got no place asking me that!
Ban!
I'm sick of listening to your garbage!
Ban!
Stop it!
Damn...
Ban...
What the hell happened?! Explain yourselves!
Ban!
Get lost. Today was the last day I team up with you!
Ban, why?
Don't ever show your face in front of me again.
Ban!
Ban...
If this were Red Light, Green Light I'd say, Red Light.
Let's give the hide-and-seek game a rest.
I'm the one who's got business with you.
Please, come this way.
I've brought him here, Sir.
All right, show him in.
Been a long time, hasn't it, Daitetsu Mahoroba?
I hear you broke up the recovery service.
So you've heard already, old man?
Then it won't take long for us to understand each other.
What business do you have with me?
There's a diamond called the Aztec Star in your collection, isn't there, old man?
Looks like I'm right.
Ginji's after it, you know.
How about it?
Wanna hire me as a protection service, for old times' sake?
Are you telling me to believe idle gossip like that?
Then all you have to do is check it out.
Stuff like that's as easy as pie for you, isn't it?
I wonder if you'd tell me one thing?
What?
Why did you break up with your partner?
He and I were destined to end up this way eventually.
What are you going to do?
What do you mean?
The job I assigned you.
You didn't forget about that, I hope.
The one where the client is a certain wealthy person.
The recovery of the 1,000-carat diamond delivered during World War II
and currently priced at three billion,
the Aztec Star.
The diamond's whereabouts became unknown in the postwar confusion,
but the client found out that it has recently fallen into the hands
of Daitetsu Mahoroba, the smuggling syndicate boss,
and he can't forgive the fact that the diamond he offered up for the sake of the country
is now owned by a smuggling ring, so he wants us to recover it.
That job.
Are you going to take on that assignment? Even if you're alone?
Of course I'll take it on.
Even if Ban is an enemy?
Ban has been hired as Daitetsu's protection service.
The rumor is that Ban was the one who approached him for the job.
It's okay if you refuse.
No, it's okay. I'll do it.
Don't do it.
You can't defeat Midou as you are now.
Shido...
Hey, if you say you're absolutely going to do it,
then what about teaming up with Shido?
No, I'll settle things with Ban by myself.
But no matter what you say, it's too much for you to do by yourself!
Who knows how tough Ban will be when he's your enemy.
Hey! How about instead...
I've been able to collect evidence.
It appears Ban Midou is telling the truth.
Yes, Sir.
You and Shido form the New Get Backers!
Pretty good, huh?
You can stop there.
Yeah, that guy's gone.
Thanks for doing this with me, Miss Hevn.
When I first got the phone call from Natsumi, I was really stunned!
She completely pulled the wool over my eyes.
I'm sorry. Mr. Ban and them asked me to.
So, what's this about?
I cooperated with you, so I've got a right to ask, don't I?
Yeah...
It's about this assignment you gave us to recover the diamond from Daitetsu Mahoroba.
Ban says that when he was teamed up with Himiko and her brother,
they once tried to steal Daitetsu's collection.
Dammit...
He says the whole thing was a trap of Daitetsu Mahoroba's.
So their job was a failure.
So, this is revenge for that time?
Yep!
Daitetsu Mahoroba!
We won't recover this one the normal way!
I'll pay him back ten times over for that time!
So basically, it's a recovery of his pride.
Hello? Ban?
Yeah, looks like it went well, huh?
Leave it to me!
It looks like those guys completely trust me now.
We'll do it tonight. We're going right according to the game plan.
Roger!
So that's it, huh?
Okay, listen up.
Ginji, you're going to infiltrate his estate to recover the Aztec Star.
But waiting there will be the protection service, the great Ban Midou.
Ban Midou vs. Ginji Amano! Right?
Then we'll pretend to fight, destroy some stuff here and there for show,
and then we'll steal the Aztec Star in the confusion and make a getaway.
So you'll recover the Aztec Star, and then I'll recover you.
Yep, now, let's get started. Don't bungle it.
Don't you either.
All right.
Okay, that's how it is, so we're going to go fight for a little while.
Bye, Natsumi.
We'll leave the phone call to Miss Hevn up to you.
Roger!
Wait for me, Ban.
I'm going to come recover you now!
Ginji Amano
Ban Midou
So on top of the wall they've got a high-voltage current with over ten thousand volts going, huh?
Well, it doesn't really matter to me.
You must've heard about me from Ban, right?
V for victory!
Shall I, then?
So Ginji's here.
Mr. Daitetsu has asked for you.
It looks like Ginji Amano has invaded the estate, just as you said he would.
Looks that way.
Shall I have Ban Midou the protection service show his skills right now?
Whoa, there.
You still haven't shown me the Aztec Star, the name of the game.
I can't protect something I've never even seen.
All right, that makes sense.
This is the Aztec Star.
Are you satisfied on that point?
Then go. You absolutely must not let him get near here.
Dispose of your former partner with your own hands!
Leave it to me.
Can you hear me, Ginji?
Loud and clear, Ban.
I know where that diamond's hiding place is.
It's in Daitetsu's room. In the...
Ryuudo Hishiki?!
What are you doing here, you bastard?!
Ban? Ban, what's wrong?
Ban...
I wonder if they found out after all?
I won't let you go any further.
Uh... well, hello?
Where am I?
It looks like you're awake.
Those chains are made of a special alloy.
Even with your power, you can't break them.
You screwed around with me!
You hired that Hishiki bastard along with me, didn't you?!
You probably thought you completely pulled the wool over my eyes,
but I saw through you from the start.
You sneaky old man.
In the end, you're the one who's been tricked again.
What do you intend to do?
I hired you as a protection service.
I'm going to have you do your job well.
Looks like at this point, reasoning with him would be a waste of breath.
Okay, then...
Take this!
I've been waiting for you, Ginji Amano.
Hishiki!
Sadly, your opponent isn't going to be Hishiki.
It'll be the other protection service.
Ban...
Ban?
Die!
You did something to Ban, didn't you?!
Don't be silly. All I did was brainwash him with drugs.
Brainwash?
Do it! Ban Midou, dispose of your partner!
Stop, Ban!
Snakebite!
That one tingled.
Is this for real, Ban?
Do you know what you're doing?!
You've got no place asking me that!
Ban!
I've got you!
Ban...
Simultaneous hits, huh?
Stupid punks.
You'll need a hundred years of study before you can try to trick me!
Just one minute!
Did you have a dream?
The Jagan?
Exactly.
What do I have here?
The Aztec Star!
Actually, we knew everything!
Even that you hired Hishiki.
What did you say?
Getting captured by you was part of the plan too.
In the end, you're the one who's been tricked, old man.
Why, you!
Hishiki! Get them! Don't let these guys live!
We can't stay here fighting him.
We're running, Ginji!
Okay.
Follow them! Don't let them escape!
Don't move!
Spread both hands wide and lie on your stomachs!
Here he is.
Is this part of the plan too?
Hurry up!
Crows?
This means...
Well, whatever. Now's our chance!
Right!
Is all of this stuff part of the plan too?!
Yamato?
Himiko!
Monkey trainer!
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm here on a job.
Come on, get in quick.
What's with this?
Recovering Ban is my job!
Stop! Don't shoot, you'll hit our own people!
Don't let them escape, Hishiki!
Well, maybe we'll just let them drive us!
Dammit...
I heard about it from the negotiator.
I owe that old guy one too, you know.
So, I dragged out the car that my big brother was using, and...
Hey, Ban! Are you listening to me?
What did you say?!
A crow flew away with the diamond?!
Why didn't you say so right away?!
But wasn't that part of the plan too?
No, it wasn't!
Hey, monkey trainer!
What?
Don't give me that, "what!" You took our cut of the profit!
What?!
Don't pretend! You made the crow steal the diamond, didn't you?!
I don't know anything about it.
Why, you!
Damn...
Hey! You said "damn" just now, didn't you?!
Shut up! I told you I was on a job!
Forget about that. The diamond!
Oh! It ran away.
Don't let it get away, Ginji!
Ginji! Don't just stand there! We're going after it!
But Ban, what about breakfast?
Breakfast?! Don't talk like there's nothing to worry about!
Leave it for later. We're going!
But breakfast!
The clouds are full of puddles
The sky looks like it's about to cry
In the midst of the drowning day-to-day
The backs of my eyelids are cold
I got through the long night alone
I erased morning's sounds with a sigh
It can't be taken back
The time that's slipped by can't be rewound
Mr. Déjà Vu, you aren't here
The days became illusions
I noticed, you aren't here
The hands on the clock don't move
Speak to me
Don't leave me alone without saying goodbye
Even if there's no such thing as eternity
I want to keep believing in the red threads that connect us
Him again?!
Damn, I know we've got this karmic bond, but there are limits!
He'd better not be following us.
I'm going, Ban.
Your opponent's Akabane, you know. You're unusually up for the fight.
And when you normally run around trying to escape too.
There's no time!
No matter who my opponent is, I will get the goods back.
Next time: "Get Back the Flame of Life!"
Next Get Backers: Get Back the Flame of Life! Next time: "Get Back the Flame of Life!"
Next Get Backers: Get Back the Flame of Life! I want to save her this time.
Next Get Backers: Get Back the Flame of Life!
