He has a blood clot in his brain, eh?
Caused by too much cholesterol and overeating.
Did you come to laugh at Bob?
W- Wait! Please wait! I've brought you a suggestion.
A suggestion?
To save the life of Bob Poundmax, Superiorization is the only way.
Superior?
Simply speaking, it's an Orgman that possesses consciousness.
That said, we haven't had a successful case yet, so it'll be a pretty risky gamble.
Are you saying that you want to use my best friend as a guinea pig?
B- But if nothing is done, your friend will never wake up again...
Fine. Then use the same procedure on me.
Use my body to test Superiorization.
And then save the life of my best friend, Bob!
Grave, here you go.
Good. You look a little less suspicious now.
Don't you get hungry?
I see. You can't have a normal meal...
Listen, would you wait for me here? Keep an eye on this, all right?
You wanna know about Millennion?
Yes. About the Organization. About its boss, Harry MacDowel...
And about his members, and those monsters, too.
You live in this town, and you don't know about those things?
Are you gonna tell me or not?
Of course I will. Whatever you wanna know, as long as you pay me.
Millennion.
It's the Mafia organization that controls the underground of this city, rather, the entire city.
There is no doubt that that they have their claws in internal affairs,
...the economy, and even the police.
The members of the organization number 20,000.
Related corporations are about 300 on the surface.
It's said that Millennion's assets are large enough to buy out a whole country.
The man on the top is Harry.
This is him.
This man is Harry MacDowel...
Also known as "Bloody Harry." He is extremely sharp.
Since he became boss 14 years ago,
...Millennion's power has suddenly become five times larger.
Cruel, canny, and vicious.
There aren't many guys other than him that these words describe so perfectly.
Harry has four close aides, four men called the Big Four.
The first is Bear Walken.
He's been serving the Organization as an aide since the previous boss ran it.
He is scrupulous and brilliant,
...serving as the old-school leadership figure of the Big Four.
The big fat fellow next to him is Bob Poundmax.
Publicly, he's in charge of Public Relations, but he actually has his own information network.
He can manipulate gambling, the stock market, and even rumors on the street.
There's nothing that he doesn't know in this town.
That's how good his ears are.
I haven't seen the faces of the other two. I've just heard of them.
One is Balladbird Lee.
As Harry's right arm, he is in charge of the underground economy.
Rumor has it that he's one hell of a sadist,
...and the number of people he has killed is over 2000.
And then... The last guy is Bunji Kugashira.
He's the Organization's hit man.
He's climbed up to become one of the Big Four solely because of his skills.
He never counts on others. He does everything himself.
It sounds good to call him a Ione wolf, but the truth is nobody wants to be near him.
People who work under him always end up dead.
He kills them all, saying they're useless.
What else did you want?
Oh, right, you wanted to know about Millennion's monsters.
They're the Orgmen.
Orgmen?
Yeah. Just like they look, they're bona fide monsters.
Millennion fiddled around with human bodies,
...and turned them into soldiers who work obey their every whim.
Millennion couldn't have grown so rapidly without the Orgmen.
With such things guarding them, other organizations can't go against Millennion.
Besides, Millennion is making huge profits exporting Orgmen to war-torn regions.
Veritable merchants of death, you could say.
They're doing such things...
Well, that's about it.
Thank you, sir.
One more thing, Miss.
I won't ask your reasons, but don't get involved with Millennion.
Just a friendly warning.
Can I ask you one last question?
And then the last thing to happen was a huge explosion.
I heard that the ones who destroyed the bridge were Orgmen and those guys.
Are you sure? Ý didn't hear anything like that on the news.
Well, that's because Millennion has to keep up appearances.
What if the public finds out that the Orgmen were all destroyed.
Hey, you'd better stop right there.
Yeah, I guess I should.
By the way, I heard that Millennion is gonna have a party...
...at that huge mansion by the harbor tonight.
So what? So they have parties.
Yeah, but I heard the Boss and his top officials are all gonna be at the party tonight.
Sounds like a big deal. What happened?
I don't know. But that means the party is gonna be a pretty big one.
I guess the current economic slowdown means nothing to them.
I wonder if they'd let me join Millennion?
Yeah, like that would ever happen.
Sorry for keeping you waiting.
I heard about your past.
About why you were killed.
Brandon Heat?
Goodness gracious... How many years has it been since I last heard that name?
Do you know him?
Yeah. Because he was born and raised in this town.
I knew him very well when he was young.
He was quiet and blunt. You could never tell what he was thinking about.
He was in Millennion, wasn't he?
Yes he was. He was the favorite of the former boss, Big Daddy.
He rose to be one of the top executives by the time he was barely into his twenties.
Big Daddy?...
But he was killed for betraying the Organization.
The irony was that it was his best friend that killed him.
His best friend?
It was Harry. Bloody Harry.
Harry...
That's right. The snitch said that Harry killed you.
But I couldn't find out the reason why.
Grave, when your memory returns, if you don't mind, could you tell me about my dad?
And about my mom.
I guess you haven't changed about being quiet.
What kept you?
I was running some errands.
Dr. Tokioka...
Call me T.
A man who strayed from the path of righteousness like I did...
...doesn't deserve a full name.
Tell me, T.
Tell you what?
Do you think we can win against Millennion?
We can't stay on the run for the rest of our lives,
...but Millennion is not such an easy organization to deal with.
Millennion...
Grave...
Our target is here in the city.
Report it.
Grave is gone?
Yeah. One whole set of gear is gone too.
I'm tracing the signal, but it doesn't look like he's anywhere nearby.
Where on earth did he go?
If his memories have come back, there are tons of places he might be heading for.
He can't possibly be going to the Organization...
Miss, we're moving out. Help me carry the luggage.
No doubt about it.
Yeah... It's Brandon Heat.
It's been a long time, Brandon.
It was worth the trouble to have Bob manipulate that information.
And here you are.
I wonder, do you have a keen sense of duty, or are you just plain stupid?
And then there's your appearance.
As I suspected, you've come back from the dead through Necrolyzation.
Brandon, are you out for revenge against me?
Brandon...
It's strange.
Looks like he is having a functional disorder.
Pathetic...
Hey, wait up, Bunji.
Brandon, I've missed you. Do you remember me?
It's Bob. Bob Poundmax.
Have you forgotten about me?
Has a traitor become such a heartbreaker?
Boss, could you leave this to me?
Do whatever you want.
Thank you, Boss.
Bob, please show off your power to the traitor.
Sure. I'm gonna try out this life of mine that you saved, along with my new power.
Please cook him thoroughly.
Hey, Brandon.
That hurt, Brandon.
You're such a terrible guy, attacking me before I was ready like that...
That makes me really sad, Brandon.
Oh, I see. You're having a functional disorder, aren't you, Brandon?
You can't defeat me, not in the shape you're in.
You know why?
Because...
I have...
...acquired enormous power!
This power goes way beyond Necrolyzation!
Should I call it "nostalgia"?
I'm preoccupied by the past. By memories of that man.
He is a traitor. An enemy to the Organization.
I know that. But it takes me back.
Well, fine, I guess.
Either way, Brandon Heat will go back to his grave again.
At the hands of Bob Poundmax.
Yeah.
Brandon...
Big Guy...
What do you think? This is a Superior's power!
Go back to your grave!
Brandon!
That won't work on me! Do you think you can fight back with a peashooter like that?
You pitiful rat!
Go ahead and die stuck in my fat!
Is that him?
This is bad.
This will finish you off!
BRANDON!
This is it! This is the power of Superior!
The power that Balladbird Lee gave me!
Brandon!
Brandon...
Brandon.
Maria...
Brandon.
Harry...
Brandon.
Brandon!
My mom was killed by Harry...
By Harry...
Harry!
Ouch, ow ow...
You bastard! Don't keep hanging on when you're on the verge of death!
Don't pretend to be relaxed! So nonchalant!
I can't regenerate fast enough to keep up!
My... My Superior...
I was supposed to have gotten stronger...
I was supposed to have become unbeatable...
Brandon...
Bob...
Bob Poundmax...
Brandon... Do you know who I am?
H- Help me, Brandon!
We were in the same Organization, weren't we?
Please.
Brandon, I'll pay you back the 2 million Yule I borrowed 19 years ago! With interest, okay?
Brandon, please help me... Help me, Lee!
Brandon...
Brandon!
LEE!
Grave! Grave!
Thank goodness you're okay...
What? Are you hurt somewhere?
What is it?
To protect. To protect this girl.
That's what Millennion is. That's what it is to me.
That's what I live for.
Ashita wo ima ni nuri kae te ku...
...hajimari wa itami to namida.
Chirabaru kodoku tsuranuite ku...
...kodou wa mujyou no kanata.
"Ima iru kono basho wa suri heru dake no game."
Sore nara ore wa tada warau dake de kateru hazu.
Yoru wo koe te yuke.
Ima ni kotoba mo nanimo nakunatte kake dasu blues ga...
...yume miru dake no jibun wo nage dashite,
...ima ni setsuna mo towa mo kie satte nokosareta kono mi ga...
...nozomi no mama ni moe agaru made.
Repaint tomorrow into today...
...since the beginning starts with pain and tears.
The heartbeats that pierce through my scattered loneliness...
...are the depths of uncertainty.
"Where I am now is a game that only wears you down."
If so, I should be able to win by just laughing.
Let's go beyond the night.
Right now, these blues I play when I've lost it all, even words,...
...throw out the part of me that does nothing but dream,
...until it sets ablaze this body that remains after fleeting moment and eternity have disappeared.
Right now, just like I wanted.
"Big Guy." Such a nostalgic sound, but it's an invitation for war.
An empty shout.
But for the sake of what they believe in,
...the men can't go back.
