Let's go. They all should be there by now.
Welcome, fellow members of PANDRA.
Major!
The time for us to take action is drawing near.
Yes... The age of the domination of espers by Normals is over.
And so, I think it's time that I introduced you.
To she who will one day be the queen!
Queen?
The esper messiah who shall one day free you all in my place!
Stronger and lovelier than anyone else.
The girl fated to eventually be our queen.
And her name is...
Kaoru Akashi!
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!
23rd sense. "Plot Twist! Stolen Away!"
Come on, just spill it!
Why'd you do it?!
I'm Moga-chan!
Why did you betray BABEL?!
Tomorrow is my birthday! Won't you come and play with me?
What's your objective?
I'm Moga-chan! Tomorrow is my birthday!
Answer me!
Looks like he's still keeping quiet.
No good. I can't get a reading.
I can't spot any abnormalities, even with my clairvoyance.
Takeshi Kugutsu... Who's pulling his strings?
Oh, the hot guy I'll never forget!
Hey!
Guh! Muscle Ohkama!
I've missed you!
Cut it out!
This is a fresh-picked daikon! I love these things!
So crisp and tasty! You haven't straightened out at all.
I'm home.
Welcome home!
Minamoto, you're late!
Lately, you've been working overtime every day.
Yeah, sorry about that. There's a lot going on.
Hey! What's with those getups?!
What do you mean? You like this look, don't you, Minamoto?
Don't stare like that. It's kind of embarrassing.
Would you like a bath? Dinner, maybe?
Come on! Quit hiding how you feel!
What are you doing?!
Is this the influence of some worthless anime show?!
That's it, isn't it?! Isn't it?!
Huh? Doc, this isn't what you said he'd do!
Doc?
It's fine. Minamoto loves this kind of stuff!
He's just shy.
Sakaki!
Absolutely! Chiru-Chiru!
Absolutely! CHIRU-CHIRU Absolutely! Chiru-Chiru!

Director - K-ICHIROU KAWAGUCHI Absolutely not!
God, do you normally go around hitting injured people?
My wounds haven't even healed yet!
If you're injured, you should be in bed.
Shouldn't you be in the hospital?
Well, three of my girlfriends ran into each other there, so...
What are you planning?!
Break up with him now, you little thief!
Say what?!
Well, you can guess what happened.
Hang in there, Chiru-Chiru!
Give her your magical crybaby routine!
That'll grab her heart!
So, things being what they are, let me hide out here for a bit.
Forget it.
Oh, come on! After I brought a pizza and everything?
You know why! I've already got three wild animals to take care of here!
Who are you calling wild animals?!
Who do you think?
We just wanted to make you feel better
after all this overtime you've been pulling lately!
We all finally managed to get time to go home this weekend!
Right, so we wanted to see you happy again up until we leave!
That's why we wore the aprons!
See this salad? The three of us made it.
We wanted to make more for you, but...
But I cut up all the vegetables myself.
I made the dressing.
And I did the taste test and putting it on the plate!
And all you do is ignore our loving meal and then call us wild animals!
Hmpf! You don't deserve service like this!
Kaoru?
Mm. It's good.
Thanks, Mr. Minamoto!
We've got lots more, if you want seconds!
We made dessert, too!
Okay, okay.
Right now, the queen is being kept on a leash by the Normals.
In order to rescue and welcome her into our ranks,
we have been making careful preparations!
Kaoru Akashi! That girl's supposed to be our queen?
I'll never accept it!
Because the major belongs to me!
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Just take it easy.
Not that.
I'm talking about Kugutsu.
You're having a rough time with the interrogation, right?
I suppose.
God, and I can tell how worried the girls are, too.
You're going to work yourself to collapse!
I'm not that weak.
Besides, more than anything,
I want to expose whoever was backing Kugutsu.
Backing him?
Yeah. I just don't think what he did was only for a personal grudge.
There has to be someone big backing them.
Gotcha. Why don't I join you tomorrow?
What are you talking about? You're still weak...
I can't wait until I'm fully recovered.
This is bugging me, too.
If there's a group besides the Normal People going after BABEL...
I just have a bad feeling about this.
Bad feeling?
I know perfectly well that there are Normals
who don't want peaceful coexistence with espers.
Some of us are fed up with their existence.
I don't think it's strange at all
for some espers to want to fight Normals like that.
Espers... Espers fighting Normals?
Don't worry!
We'll expose them and take them down.
For the people we care for, and... For your sake, too.
So please, let me use my clairvoyance!
Sakaki.
M-Minamoto...
What the heck?! Why the sudden, suspicious change in atmosphere?!
Sakaki...
What?
This is my bishop.
Cheater.
Whoops! Cat's out of the bag!
Girls! You're still up?
You know what time it is?
Minamoto, we'll help, too!
I think having me along will be useful.
And if he still won't talk, I'll make him sorry!
Didn't you say it before?
That you wanted us to help you fight?
Well, at the time...
A team stands together! Let's settle this as fast as we can!
He's still sleeping.
He may be exhausted from days of continuous interrogation.
Hey, get up, Kugutsu!
I can tell when someone's pretending to sleep!
C'mon, get up!
This is a doll!
Impossible! The ECM is operating properly.
He couldn't have overidden it!
Trouble! Inmate #140 is missing!
What?!
Muscle?!
Could the two of them have escaped?
These were still in the ground only an hour ago.
Meaning, they couldn't have gotten very far.
Okay, then let's go after them!
Minamoto, release our limiters, please!
Right! The Children, released!
<> Right! The Children, released!
It's no use trying to run from us!
The more you run, the closer we get to you!
That's because the Earth is round!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
Darn it, where'd they escape to?
Something's wrong with this field.
What?!
What are these things?
What's with these creepily familiar dolls?!
Trouble! The ECM is being jammed.
What?!
Kugutsu and Muscle couldn't have pulled this off on their own!
Could it be?
Interchangeable cyborgs! You are in command!
CHANGE!
Bleaugh!
Dachshund!
Leave this to me!
That's it, Aoi! Keep it up!
Piece of cake!
Hey! What's that?
Has the boss arrived?
You are in command!
CHANGE!
If they're being remotely-controlled by an esper,
then their power is incredible!
Interchangeable cyborgs!
You are in command!
So what if you're a cyborg?!
Kaoru!
PSYCHIC AEGIS SHIELD HYPER!
Wow...
Let's do this!
You are... in command...
We did it!
Change...
Well done, girls!
If that missile had hit the isolation cell area,
there would have been a mass breakout!
But where are Kugutsu and Muscle?
One thing has been made clear.
Someone is definitely pulling their strings.
Someone able to pull something like this off...
It could only be one man: Kyosuke Hyobu.
Yes, sir.
What is that man up to?
Major Hyobu!
Thank you for saving me and Moga-chan!
Major, I missed you!
Many a sleepless night I spent thinking of you, Major!
Back off! You're crowding me!
You two caused me some trouble.
I'd hoped you'd stay with BABEL longer to feed me good information.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
I've been thinking of increasing our membership
in order to welcome the queen.
A member of the organization?
Leave it to me, Major!
I've been waiting for you to say those words!
I'd do anything for you, Major!
Me, too!
Bad members...
Pardon the intrusion.
There's something you need to hear, Major.
Looks like your speech acknowledging the queen
may have pushed some a little too far.
Meaning what?
It's only natural, as it affects all of us espers.
There's one person especially who won't accept it.
What? Mio?
I see. Thanks for the report.
Honestly, that wild girl...
Momotaro, could you accompany her for a little while?
What a pain in the ass. You use people too roughly.
I'll give you three years worth of gourmet Andalusian sunflower seeds.
Leave it to me, ol' bestest buddy of mine!
Now then... What will Mio do?
Are you sure about this, Minamoto?
Of course I am.
Yeah, but...
It's okay. Precog has nothing unusual to report.
But...
Aoi has her little brother's birthday party,
Shiho has dinner with her dad,
and Kaoru's sister is bringing some of her gravure idol friends home.
You all have fun plans made.
Okay, but don't get carried away just because we're not around.
And don't cry because you're lonely!
We'll be back tomorrow night!
Don't worry! Don't worry!
I'll keep an eye on him so he doesn't cheat on you, so relax!
Actually, we're more worried because you are here with him...
Meaning what?
Bye!
See you later.
Have fun!
Okay!
Man, oh, man...
Now you can relax, huh?
Yeah, now I can finally take my time...
To go for a drink?! I'll invite Natsuko and Hotaru!
First thing in the morning?
Doctors shouldn't recommend stuff that's bad for your health.
A situation like this...
Clearly calls for cleaning and laundry!
Huh? Really? Seriously?
This is what a healthy guy thinks up?
This button on Kaoru's shirt is coming off.
I'll mend it later.
Man...
You're such a mother hen.
I suppose.
What's wrong?
Oh, just thinking how used to this I've gotten
since I started living with them.
Even if it's just for one night, it's lonely here without them.
Don't tell me!
Has one of those women tracked me down?!
Yes? Who's there?
Sakaki, what kind of woman did you hit on?!
Minamoto!
Um, excuse me? Are you somebody's boyfriend?
Or father, possibly?
I'm sure if we discuss this calmly, you'll understand!
Don't play dumb!
Where is Kaoru Akashi?
Or, rather, where's the queen?!
Queen?
I'll leave the queen with you for today.
Why did you call Kaoru "queen"?
That's...
Nothing good to eat at all.
In other words...
You're Hyobu's people!
Minamoto!
Bring the queen out, now! I'll never accept it!
Her, queen?
Some kid who lives with Normals?!
Sakaki!
Okay, where's the queen?
For your own sake, you'd better tell me!
What are you?
Answer me now!
Minamoto!
What's with Mom and Sis? Should've told me some work came up!
What's the point in going home to an empty house?
Still, it's not so bad.
It's just me!
Kaoru, you silly girl! You scared me!
I'll scare him good!
Wh-What happened?!
K-Kaoru...
Dr. Sakaki!
Get me out. My butt's frozen!
Whew, good thing you came back early. You saved me!
So, what happened? Did someone come here?
A teleporter.
A girl, just about your age.
And Minamoto?
Minamoto!
What's this?
Kaoru!
I've got the guy with the glasses. Come if you want him back.
"I've got the guy with the glasses. Come if you won't him back. Mop Map below. Tell anyone, and he dies! I've got the guy with the glasses. Come if you want him back.
"I've got the guy with the glasses. Come if you won't him back. Mop Map below. Tell anyone, and he dies! Map below. Tell anyone, and he dies!
Minamoto...
Minamoto's been kidnapped.
She said something about not accepting you as queen.
Queen?
What did she mean about me being a queen?
I don't know, either.
I don't know anything about this,
but she's challenging me to a fight, isn't she?
In that case...
I have to go!
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

Your sense of taste is just too dull.
It's from too many flavor enhancers and additives!
Hey, don't take the green onion out!
Why are you so bossy?! Don't you know what you are?!
A hostage, right?
Sure doesn't act like one.
