BABEL FUJI COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH FACILITY
Your task is, under my direction,
to steal the stuffed animals carried by each of the three Children.
They won't be holding back, so be ready for anything!
That's our line, you traitor!
Creep!
Philanderer.
So what if she's kinda cute...
Huh?
Shut up! We're playing for keeps on this, you jerk!
The Children, released.
Like a moth drawn to a flame!
It might be time to pay the piper!
We'll teach you the difference between your powers and ours!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
It's pretty awesome, invincible power!
Boy, does it feel great
Absolutely lovely! So we never lose!
Come on, let's head for tomorrow!
Zettai Karen Children
Yeah!
Zettai Karen Children Absolutely!
Zettai Karen Children
Daring!
It just takes a touch for me to know
The limiter on my heart
Has been released, and then you see
Yes! Change the world!
Trying again and again through hot battle!
Reaching through what's real
Absolutely lovely! So we never lose!
The thrills just can't be beat!
Courage begins to light the darkness of the world
It overflows with the miracles you gave
If you can take pride in a smile
That suits no one else
Then let's go beyond the future now
We can try over the future world!
Yeah!
Ultimate!
Daring!
Okay, we'll be waiting.
There's nothing to worry about. I know you'll win!
If you're wondering why Minamoto is commanding these two,
and why they're fighting this battle exercise with The Children,
we'll have to flash back in this story a few days.
17th sense. "Survival of the Fittest! We're Gonna Eat You!" we'll have to flash back in this story a few days.
17th sense. "Survival of the Fittest! We're Gonna Eat You!"
Candidates to be BABEL special espers?
Yes. Kashiwagi?
Yes, sir.
We got the results of their entrance test a few days ago.
AKIRA YADORIGI (Age 15)
Akira Yadorigi. Age: 15.
HATSUNE INUGAMI (Age 14) Akira Yadorigi. Age: 15.
HATSUNE INUGAMI (Age 14) And Hatsune Inugami. Age: 14.
Her power is Metamorphosis.
She can transform herself into a wolf.
And his power is Replace.
He can exchange consciousness with any nearby animal.
They're combination espers, aren't they?
Right.
Unlike The Children, they don't have one power
that makes them high-level espers.
However, despite their low-level,
they unconsciously combine several of their abilities.
Allowing them to operate as high-level espers.
THREE
TWO
ONE
Go get 'em, my 1:1 scale Ji-Ei Joes!
My 1:1 scale Ji-Ei Joes!
Amazing!
The two have great potential, but...
They failed this part of the entrance exam.
Even with the powers they demonstrated?
Observe.
Hatsune! There's one left!
Food!
Hatsune, no!
Food!
When she's hungry, Hatsune's animal instincts take over.
So, whenever she uses her Metamorphosis power,
they need to keep her hunger level under control.
She abandons the mission if she's hungry?
Yes. She forgets it completely.
Now then, Minamoto. As to your duty here...
Yes, sir?
I want you to instruct them so that they can pass their entrance exam!
Huh?!
So, Hatsune's family, the Inugami clan,
have had metamorphic abilities for generations.
And Akira's family, the Yadorigi clan,
have taken care of them since antiquity.
Hatsune, it's ready!
Food!
No! You stand up when you walk!
I'm always telling you not to walk on your hands, right?!
Food!
What do you say before you eat?
Don't stick out your tongue!
What do you say before you eat?
All done!
Use your hands when you eat!
Down the hatch...
So, not only childhood friends, but a hereditary combo, too.
They have no problems combining their powers,
so conquering Hatsune's weakness is the key to them passing.
Minamoto! When's dinner?
Sorry! Order a pizza or something, okay?
I'm busy with work!
What's with him?
You'll be instructing us, Mr. Minamoto?!
I look forward to it.
I'm so grateful!
Why?
Because you're the genius instructor who managed to shape up The Children,
the worst team in BABEL that nobody else was able to control!
Um, those are just rumors.
And The Children were hardly the worst team...
To be instructed by a person like you, I... I... I...
How do you do?
No! Bad Hatsune!
Hatsune... can't resist!
Hang on, Hatsune!
Resist it, Hatsune!
Hatsune... can't... resist!
Ow.
Okay, there you go!
Hatsune, cut it out!
How many days has it been?
Let's see. One, two, three...
Today, we move to stage two.
Resist, Hatsune! Resist!
Resist.
Please begin.
Right.
What's she doing?
She's a telepath.
She's filling Hatsune's mind with images of food.
If she can pass this test, then I'm sure Hatsune is ready!
Hatsune... can't resist...
No, you can! Hang in there!
Can't...
resist...
I don't taste very good. Right, Natsuko?
I... think Hotaru tastes better than me, though.
Uh-oh! Hatsune's nothing but a ravenous beast now!
Abort training!
Hatsune!
Dammit! Hatsune!
Mr. Minamoto!
Hatsune... You wouldn't eat him, would you?
He's all right!
Get me out.
Hatsune tried her best!
Three, two, one! 60 minutes, on the nose!
Hatsune, resisted!
Good girl, Hatsune!
Great job, Hatsune.
Food...
Chopsticks! Use your chopsticks!
I wonder if I can get reimbursed for this.
What you've done is amazing, Mr. Minamoto.
I've never seen Hatsune respond to anyone like this except me.
I'm sure it's because of her family.
That's why she's never had much contact with Normals.
I've had to deal with worse than her.
You really are a genius supervisor, Mr. Minamoto!
Please, no.
I admire you so much! You're awesome!
You're not planning to become their supervisor, are you?
Whose?
Don't play dumb! That wolf girl and the other one you've been with lately!
What's going on?
We want a reasonable explanation.
You aren't jealous, are you?
No, we're not! We don't really need you!
So, if you want to be their supervisor, then...
That's a great idea!
Wanna try fighting those two?
Fight?
What do you mean?
I'll command the other two.
Okay, fine! We'll take 'em on!
A battle exercise with The Children?!
Isn't that setting the hurdles a little too high?
If they can clear a high hurdle,
then I think they'll have proven their aptitude as special espers!
Minamoto is right.
All right, you can do it.
And so, the battle exercise began.
IN TRAINING
I want a kiss!
IN TRAINING
Because I'm raising a dog.
No way Level 7's like us will lose to newbs like them.
They're both Level 4's, right?
Piece of cake!
Don't be careless, young ones.
Chief!
Hello!
Whatcha doing?
Um, I am not this "Chief" you speak of!
I am a mysterious old man who was just passing by!
I'm not in disguise because Kashiwagi would kill me
if she found out I was showing you any favoritism!
Found them!
Uh-oh! They found us!
We need to escape, now!
Emergency Teleport!
Wait! Me, too!
Hatsune lost them.
Don't worry!
They teleported to 3 o'clock from where you are!
Peep-peep-peep! Peep! Peep-peep!
Mr. Minamoto, what's going on? The Chief is with The Children.
I thought I didn't see him here! That stupid old man!
For heaven's sake.
Wait, this could be a good thing.
He's naturally going to advise The Children about your powers.
Meaning we can use that against them!
Here he comes! That snake!
PSYCHIC HALF-HITCH!
So, that Akira kid's mind is in this snake?
No, now it's in something else.
Snake?
Got 'em!
Slither. Slither-slither-slither...
It worked.
Just like you wanted, I scared them with a snake
and got them to teleport back to their starting point.
Aoi can't stand reptiles.
Ambush!
Up! Retreat to the air for now!
PSYCHIC ZOOM CLIMB!
Hatsune can't chase us into the sky!
Okay, we'll regroup up here!
She's flying!
No one told us about this!
Is it Minamoto's direction?
She did it!
The key is for her to imagine the form.
Metamorphosis isn't just being able to turn into a wolf.
She can also fly for short periods, too!
And having four people to teleport limits their range!
Hatsune is chasing The Children.
Hatsune... is winning!
Minamoto is amazing. Hatsune loves Minamoto!
Aoi, enough!
Kaoru!
No way I'm losing to someone like you!
PSYCHIC AIR-SLASHES!
Come back here!
Darn it! Is this a trap set by Minamoto?
Why, you!
Psychic... Huh?
Forget it. You can't use your psychic powers now.
The reason being that isn't your body.
Huh?
My power also works on people.
Y-You're me?!
I switched minds with you.
And that's one stuffie down!
Aw, man!
I'd say you're not ready to take me on yet.
So, I just follow the plan now?
Right, just be careful not to move too far away.
Yes, sir! Leave it to me!
You jerk! You're our supervisor, aren't you?!
Aren't you supposed to go easy on us and let us win?!
Don't be so selfish!
I'm not being selfish! I'm saying you're wrong!
No... I want to be close with Minamoto...
Minamoto is mine!
Hatsune?
MINE!
Minamoto?! Wait!
Kaoru!
You're all right?
What are you doing?!
Two stuffies, down!
It can't be! Yadorigi?!
One left! I'm going to win!
My fists won't allow you to!
That's not fair! I can't fight you looking like that!
And now, we'll be special espers, like you.
Huh? My body's...
Wh-What happened?
He moved too far from his actual body.
His brainwaves destabilized.
He doesn't actually switch minds with a subject.
He just uses his composite abilities to transceive thoughts to another body.
So, if he leaves his effective range...
Where am I?!
Kaoru returns to normal.
No time for this! Minamoto's been!
Mr. Minamoto, what's going on?!
I thought we'd gotten Hatsune's hunger under control!
No, this isn't hunger!
Right now, she's operating on one desire that goes beyond hunger!
A desire beyond hunger?!
Minamoto is mine!
Hatsune!
What's wrong, Hatsune?
Give Minamoto back!
No! Minamoto is mine!
Oh, get real! What do you mean, he's yours?!
MINAMOTO BELONGS TO US!
You're the boss! This is yours!
The force of Kaoru's anger made Hatsune accept Kaoru as her superior.
So, what was the desire beyond hunger that was driving Hatsune before?
Hatsune!
Akira! Now!
Third stuffie, down!
Ooh!
Never let your guard down.
We did it, Mr. Minamoto!
No! Minamoto is the boss's!
They passed, right, Chief?
Um, I'm just a mysterious old man who was passing by...
Chief?
Yes?
They passed, right?
Well... Yeah.
So, then!
Welcome to the team, The Hound.
"The Hound?"
That's gonna be...
...your team name.
Great, huh?
If you're giving us a team name, does that mean?
Yes, BABEL is hiring you to be special espers.
We did it, Hatsune!
Hatsune, wait!
Let's go, too!
What's?
Your welcome party.
Welcome to BABEL.
All our effort didn't go to waste!
Thank God. With us being officially hired by BABEL,
they'll be responsible for paying Hatsune's grocery bill!
My family's finances are saved!
Are you crying, Akira?
Shows how much he wanted to be a special esper, huh?
Minamoto?
You're not really going to be supervisor for The Hound now, right?
Their supervisor is still being decided upon.
Besides, I couldn't.
Why not?
Because I belong to you girls, right?
Whatever!
Hey!
Oh, it's not completely cooked, yet!
Boss, I can't wait to work with you!
Because, you're my heart's desire!
Yeah
When it comes to you, you see
My ESP is no good at all
Love is a puzzle that even
Pythagoras couldn't solve
Don't hang your head or have a tearful face
Because miracles are born from smiles
My, my, my heart's desire
Zoom zoom!
I want to make
Bye-bye!
You my bold desire
So absolutely serious, it gives me chills!
Trans, trans, transform
Zoom zoom!
I'll give you
Yeah yeah!
A dynamite kiss!
I absolutely want you to love me!
Because, you're my heart's desire
