-END-
When watching TV,
Turn on the lights and sit away from the TV, right?
S-stop it!
Give it back!
Stop?
Stop being so stuck-up when you are obviously useless.
Why do I have to endure this crap.
Hey!
What's wrong with you?
Who did you say was useless?
T-This guy...
I've decided. From now on I am going to be a hero to clean out trash like you people.
I am the Justicar Man.
What a nuisance.
Punks that only bring trouble to society.
Looks like tonight Justicar Man has to make an appearance again.
Hey!
Are you alright?
Reflect on your actions while you're screaming in pain.
Ugh!?
This is...
He's here! Justicar Man
Justice complete.
Brilliant Minds? Children Detectives
Wow! It's awesome!
Everyone is talking about it, even the TV is showing it.
Repeated telecasts at that!
What is he chattering on about over there?
He appeared again last night. That Justicar Man.
Oh? Is that the guy who defeated those people last night?
He only suffocated them to let them have a taste of real pain.
He didn't really defeat anyone.
Seems that it happened near Tono's place.
So thats why he's talking like he was at the scene when it happened.
What's with you guys?
I'm happily sharing my story with everyone.
Say what!
What? You don't have to be so stuck up anyway!
What did you say!?
Bring it on!
Um, what would you do if you met Justicar Man at night?
That'd be scary!
Don't worry, it won't happen.
But...
Don't worry.
It'll be good if they can catch Justicar Man quickly
They'll definitely catch him.
What Justicar Man.
Acting as if he is a man of justice. It's despicable.
Do you wanna catch him? You gonna form a youth detective team or something?
No! You shouldn't do such dangerous things.
Wait, I mean the police will catch him.
Who knows,we might have to take this case.
Now, let's begin.
The culprit is... her ex-boyfriend.
Arrest him quickly.
This girl is... already dead.
The location...
Thats enough!
Stop it.
You don't need to do such things.
But I'm not done..
Chief! Did you make her take on such gruesome tasks in the past?
Do you think I enjoy doing such things?
The things in here are all evidence for important unsolved cases.
The rest of the police and Espers could not do anything. That is why I had to...
I understand but these are all really chaotic cases.
She may be a level 7 Esper but she's still only 10 years old.
I'm fine.
This is not fine!
As your commander, no as an adult, I cannot allow you to do such things.
Yes.
Chief, the Police Commissioner is here to see you.
Police Commissioner?
Tell him to come in.
Sorry to intrude so suddenly.
Commissioner.
Were you the one that let Shiho do such things?
Don't be like that, Minamoto-kun.
He is...?
The Children's supervisor, Minamoto-kun.
Oh, it's you.
Isn't it a part of the police's job to protect children from being affected by criminal ways?
We can't provide any further help.
Letting the Espers grow up healthily is also part of my job as their supervisor.
If you have the ability to solve a crime, you should do it. It's doing your part as a citizen.
It has nothing to do with age.
Right, Shiho?
Yes, Papa.
Pa-Papa?
Although we never revealed it to the outside world,
The Commissioner is Sannomiya-san's father.
My daughter's been in your care.
Is this for real...
Don't need to worry about Shiho.
This is also part of an Esper's job.
Shiho, can you leave for a moment? I need to talk with the Chief.
Yes, Papa.
Actually there is a case where I need to enlist the help of the Children.
Welcome. Do you want some juice while you get some rest?
L-Lets go.
Chief, stop using the Children to help crack cases.
Um...No. Just listen for now...
But!
I understand! I'll listen to you after this.
It's an order. Just do it.
If you are not able to give me a satisfactory reason, I definitely will not allow them to help.
What's wrong? Come in.
Let's go, Shiho.
But I did not expect that the Police Commissioner would ask for our help on the Justicar Man case.
No matter how strange it is, if he continues to do as he pleases, the police will be put to shame.
Forget it, Chisato and the rest are scared too.
We should just quickly get it over with.
That may be so, but should a father of a child really act that way?
Don't get angry, Minamoto-san.
Papa has his own reasons too.
Isn't it a good thing? It's a request from your father.
Yes, yes.
But still...
We already know how the crime was carried out.
It is a simple but really vicious method.
And before I explain further,
You guys eat everyday, right?
What do you use to eat?
Mouth.
What do you use to breathe in and breathe out?
Mouth.
Correct.
The food goes in from the mouth, travels through the food passageway and down into the stomach.
Air travels through the air passageway and into the lungs.
Why do you think the food doesn't go into the lungs?
The answer is!
Air Passage.
Food Passage.
There is a lid near the air passage.
As the food is swallowed, the backward motion of the tongue forces the lid to close.
This way, food won't enter the lungs.
So that criminal makes use of that...
What do you mean?
What if the lid was always closed?
Um... he won't be able to breathe?
That's right!
He used psychokinesis to close the lid forcefully.
For this, a level 3 psychokinetic can carry out this crime.
Exactly.
Thank you, Sakaki.
If it was me, I won't use such a bothersome method.
I would look deep into their eyes, and use my lips to seal their mouths.
Of course it's only for girls.
The Children, release!
What is the purpose of being born in this chaotic era? It is to strike harder!
As women, we need to be focused and never look back!
The lonely front is an endless journey!
Zettai Karen Children!
Charge forward!
Yes! Bare it and let me see!
You're The Children right?
I'm the one in charge, Hanto. Pleased to work together.
Hello!
Now that we're here, we'll solve everything!
We'll really be goners if we can't solve the case.
This is the place right?
Yes.
While defending himself, the victim
Fell over around here.
Doesn't seem like he was thrown off by force.
And doesn't look like he was controlled through telepathy.
Like Sakaki-sensei said.
Using psychokinesis he forced the lid to close.
But I am not able to make out anyone that is a culprit.
Did he do it from afar?
Seems like it.
But judging from the culprit's power,
The distance isn't really far.
But it would be hard to carry out if these conditions change.
Then that's no different from the other Esper's findings.
Although you're a level 7 psychometric,
You're of no use at the most crucial time.
You can't say that!
Your daughter is trying her hardest right now.
What has her being my daughter have anything to do with the investigation?
We only relied on B.A.B.E.L. cause we needed the help of level 7 Espers.
I understand, Papa.
Uchira-san, I want to look at the other places. Can you bring us there?
Let's start from the place it first started.
Got it.
Shiho's very cool today!
Her power is different from ours; it's suited for cases like this.
Her father works in this field; she'll probably be a police officer in the future.
Hey, was it you who did it?
Come clean.
I already said I don't know.
You can't hide it.
I know everything.
Let me take a look at your chest.
That's how the interrogation will go!
This is where it first started.
It was after this case that he revealed to the police and the media the criminal's names.
The time?
It was after midnight around 2 AM.
It's only at this place that the criminals were actually injured.
The injured youths were too traumatised to recall anything.
What is it, Shiho?
It's no good. I can't picture if the other party is an Esper.
Shall we go to the next place?
Yes please.
Let's use this convenience store as a parking space.
The youths that were setting off fireworks and smoke suddenly fell to the ground,
Having difficulty in breathing.
There was no report of anyone that could possibly be a culprit.
No good. This would have been the best position to target them.
How strange. No traces here either huh?
Could it be from a further spot?
Lets widen our scope.
Nope, I can't see anything.
That's impossible.
Go further in.
Still can't see anything.
I said to go in further!
But I can't go in any further...
So much trouble!
Hey!
Kaoru, Shiho.
Minamoto!
What's wrong!
We're stuck! Pull me out!
In the end there wasn't anything.
To punish the wrong-doers...
Sounds like a real justice doer!
Wrong. What I saw that time wasn't justice.
It was something sinister, extremely selfish and vengeful mixed together.
Okay, let's take a break!
Agreed!
Let's take a bath! A bath!
Yeah, time for a change of mood after all those deductions.
Were those counted as deductions?
This is the best!
So good to have a bath.
Why am I here...
Isn't it more fun to bathe together?
Does it feel comfortable? Do you want me to scrub your back?
That's enough, old man!
Say, Naomi have you thought of using your powers to punish criminals?
Don't we already do it in missions?
Isn't it the same for everyone?
I don't mean it that way.
Like drunkards and people who don't follow the law.
First I would warn them at least.
That's right, suddenly attacking them in secret is just too much.
Thanks for your hard work!
Lucky! The number of beautiful people increased!
Naomi-chan, Supervisor Tanizaki is pacing up and down outside.
He seems to be waiting for Naomi-chan.
That old man..!
Bathing with The Children...
Nono, it's no good for her education.
My Naomi might get led astray.
Maybe they'll force her to do some obscene things...
Unforgivable!
She'll soon be B.A.B.E.L.'s, no, the world's strongest Esper!
Strength, beauty, morals!
I can't let her be polluted!
I'm worried after all.
Should I go in? It shouldn't be a problem if I do right...
I'm her supervisor after all!
We'll get married one day.
Sorry to intrude.
That idiotic old man!
If only he didnt exist.
She didn't even warn him before attacking...
Are the criminals afraid we'll warn them?
Kaoru-chan and Naomi-chan are high levels.
The criminal is definitely a lower level.
You mean...
What is it?
The criminal is looking for ambush targets.
It wasn't coincidental.
He's looking everywhere for people to punish.
And then?
There seems to be something but I just can't quite recall what it is...
But I'm closing in...
Ah it's that.
Eh? You two know what it is?
We have clairvoyance and telepathic users after all.
What's Minamoto-san hiding?
Even if we don't use telepathy on him, we can feel it.
I have to protect Shiho.
Hrm, you didn't know?
Because I try very hard not to look into Minamoto-san's heart.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
That was a good bath!
Where's Minamoto-san?
He went to collect some materials.
Please wait for him.
What's with that Minamoto, guys shouldn't take that long to bath. It's really annoying.
No no, Minamoto-han isn't bathing.
A car?
Minamoto-han!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Minamoto-san, Sannomiya-san just contacted us.
Eh?
Can we bring these two over here to the office?
Only Kaoru and Aoi?
Yeah.
There's something he doesn't want her to hear.
I understand. Let's go, Kaoru, Aoi.
Where are Minamoto-san and the rest going?
They suddenly had another mission.
Please carry on your investigation here, Shiho-san.
Really?
Just now when you touched the surface of the carpark floor,
You didn't think that there'd be a criminal within B.A.B.E.L., right?
No, nothing like that.
I thought the criminal was probably sitting inside a car.
A car huh?
Attacking from inside the car then escaping immediately.
That way, there'll be no traces left behind of the criminal.
If only we're able to confirm the car...
I see.
Looking for you?
I didn't call for any of you.
But that police officer said...
There were things that Shiho shouldn't hear.
Don't tell me...
Can we move the car over to that road over there?
Yeah, we can.
Like I thought... from this spot, he'll be able to see the victims from inside the car.
Looks like you found it.
Y-You are...
That's right.
No matter how many strict patrols there are,
it's still easy to get into that spot.
I am Justicar Man.
Even though there are regular checks, its not easy to find out.
I have good luck so they haven't found out about my super powers yet.
It's heaven's will that wants me to carry out justice.
Don't be afraid.
You have two choices.
Become Justicar Girl and punish the wayward youths till they repent.
Or...
No way. I am the special team's Esper.
Who wants to be your so called Justicar Girl.
In that case, it's time for you to repent.
How is it? It's painful and tormenting isn't it?
Then repent quickly.
Reflect on the evilness of your words.
So pitiful.
What can your psychometric abilities do here?
For example, she can use her limiter to contact her partners for help.
Psychic Dawn Push!
Shiho, hang on!
Are you okay, Shiho?!
Why?
Why did I, Justicar Man, fail?
This kind of thing, justice will never forgive!
Come, Shiho.
I'm fine, I can walk by myself.
God!
Careful, Shiho!
Papa!
Bastard!
Take this!
Commissioner!
Papa, hang on!
I'm fine. Are you hurt, Shiho?
Papa...
Thank you, Papa.
Thank you for worrying, Minamoto.
Although Papa acts that way,
But I can understand his inner feelings through my powers.
He was actually really happy.
That Minamoto-san wants to protect his own daughter.
So stop thinking that you're an outsider who is acting out of place.
Thank you, but please stop looking into my thoughts.
Because I have such an ability...
I already know this world is not a fairy tale world.
So you don't need to hide the fact that the world is full of evil things.
I'm fine!
I know that Kaoru-chan, Aoi-chan, Papa and Minamoto will definitely protect me.
I'll be okay.
I gotta hand it to you.
You're more mature than me.
Next On Zettai Karen Children!
Sorry to have made you guys specially come here.
The emergency matter is...
The American Esper team requests to work with B.A.B.E.L. on a joint mission.
Alright! Let me capture that Colonel Guriguri!
Colonel Grisham!
Zettai Karen Children!
Episode 15 - Golden Rule - Don't Run Away!
I'll leave it to you guys!
Absolutely lovely thats why we can't lose!
