Great job, girls!
Where's Barret?
He should be making his first foray into battle around now.
Finally found him.
Mary!
Be a good boy and become food for my water dragon!
Water Dragon!
Do you know this story?
It was Christmas night,
and a poor little girl was selling matches on the street.
It seems that no sad story will resonate in your heart.
Drop dead, you old fool!
Impossible! He can match my power, at his age?!
Barret, you've proved your power more than enough.
Now quit playing around and retreat at once.
W-Wait!
Strongly, gallantly, I beat my wings
Zettai Karen Children
Meeting you like I did
Wasn't just so we could live
Tiny wishes, cross through time
And surely change the future
When my limiter (changing myself)
Is released (changing yourself)
An angel's shining surges through me
The "wings" that will save the world
Now I'm on the path I chose
And I want to grab my dreams (Can't stop)
The power given to me
Spurs me into the sky
Strongly, gallantly, I beat my wings
Absolutely lovely, my wings
37th sense: "A Mighty Enemy Attacks! Black Phantom"
Huh? Black Phantom?
Yes.
It's a mysterious esper crime syndicate
that's been secretly spreading its influence lately.
Yes. Our nation is already investigating them as well.
Although I've heard they're a brutal criminal gang
maneuvering secretly on the dark side of international society.
We believe Japan may be next on their list.
Japan? But why?
Minamoto, please be careful. This is a warning as a friend.
Ken.
NEXT MORNING - 08:30 JAPAN TIME And as President Salmonella continues his tour of all nations,
he has taken off for Japan, the next stop on the trip.
APPROXIMATELY 5 HOURS LATER, IN FRONT OF TOKYO RECEPTION HALL
The Children, released!
You're not as into this as usual.
Why can't we go into the party hall?
I even bought some lucky underwear for it!
You don't need something like that!
By the way, here's the receipt. Can you expense it for me?
And you put my name on it?!
And why does something that skimpy cost so much?!
My underpants!
Give 'em back!
I really wanted to eat a feast at the party.
Yeah. I guess we only rate getting this stuff.
Your mission is to act as the personal bodyguard
for President Salmonella, who's about to arrive in Japan.
He's a man with a lot of enemies.
Which is why we have to guard him from Black Whatchamacallit?
Yes. The probability that the president is their target is less than 3%,
But that's still a 3% chance that his life is in danger!
To ensure nothing goes wrong, you three will wait here.
Are you even listening? Hey!
But it's just a 3% chance!
You can have my dehydrated green onion.
No, thanks! Hey! Cut it out!
But I don't like the taste!
Children never appreciate the concerns of their elders.
It'd be nice if this ended up with us being overly cautious.
But, the problem is...
Yeah.
We adults can't depend on those children this time.
Um, sir?
Yes?
I'm afraid we can't refund your money.
I see.
But I think it suits you very nicely, sir.
How many times must I say that these aren't mine?!
Dammit, that was a waste of time!
Hurry up and get me back to the standby point!
Even if they're Level 7's,
I won't knowingly send them on a life-threatening mission!
Right. Nor should you.
Hyobu?! You!
Forget it.
Just calm down.
Black Phantom is definitely coming.
So keep the children away from there.
We'll provide the reason for you.
Why would you do that?
We're not the only ones using ESP for illegal activities.
We need to demonstrate our strength to our rivals.
Look at it that way.
Besides, this is going to be a genuinely dirty job.
He and The Children must not be allowed to fight!
Under any circumstances!
OVER SAGAMI BAY - 15:14
President Salmonella's plane, on approach.
Roger. Runway is currently...
Unit 2! What's wrong?! Unit 2!
Wake up!
The Children are in the middle of a mission!
No, Chief. We have to wake him up more gently.
How about a kiss?! We could kiss him awake!
I don't think I'm prepared for that.
Okay! Now I am!
That was quick. Okay! Now I am!
Okay!
Hey!
Wake up, sleepyhead.
Damn! She was faster!
Quit just thinking about yourself!
You are such a...
Where? When did I get here?
That's what I'd like to know!
Chief! The escort planes were suddenly attacked over the sea!
The President's plane landed safely at the airport.
They want The Children to help rescue the downed planes!
They were ambushed?!
Get a fix on where it happened!
Okay, we're going!
Aoi, wait! I need to tell the chief...
ESP bodyguard division! Look extra sharp!
Yes, sir! Roger.
Everyone, it's almost time for the president to arrive.
I want you all to immediately...
It's him! Get into the rifle's blind spot!
The bullet's moving by itself!
Let's give President Salmonella a round of applause!
Mr. President, get down!
Are you?!
Prime Minister, get out of here!
Wait, this is...
Fooled you.
That hurt! If it hadn't been for Magi's handmade armor,
I really would have died, old man!
Quit calling me old man!
Message from the secondary squad.
Hello? How's it going on your end?
Sir! Just as you planned, Major.
I'm sending you data on his powers now.
Don't think badly of us. After all, we saved your lives.
Just as I thought.
There you are!
I'll go and finish this right now!
He's leaving us behind?! Hey!
That's not very friendly. After I came all this way to see you.
Kyosuke Hyobu...
No introductions? Oh well, then.
Mom...
PSYCHIC POLE FISHING!
I see. Hyobu did that...
He seems to have prevented the assassination of the president.
We still don't have the full story.
What's wrong, Kaoru?
Didn't you feel that just now?
Huh? Feel what?
Don't start talking like a telepath.
An esper. One of us, and he's suffering.
We have to save him!
I feel great.
I'm still ready to shoot!
Director! Please hurry up!
It's an emergency!
I can't just roll out of bed and go out!
It's okay! You don't need makeup!
You're pretty enough as is!
Shut up! When I say wait, you wait!
SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY - 16:07
It's no use, Kyosuke Hyobu.
In the end, you're too naive.
Damn!
You should have killed him the instant you made your move.
In the end, you're just a second-rate crime boss.
I'll admit, you're worse than I am.
An esper wouldn't do this to one of their own!
Oh?
Brainwashing that even you can't break...
Is that something a Normal can do?
You started off by capturing a wizard-level Hypno user
and then used them to take control of other espers, one by one.
Kid! Can you hear me?!
Suppress the Black Phantom in your mind!
He is the black will of the Normals. The natural enemy of us espers!
Don't obey him!
Join us in PANDRA!
Die, PANDRA.
You people disgust me!
The bullets in my body are transforming, growing!
He's manipulating the lead in them, and using clairvoyance to guide them!
You're a powerful enemy.
Saving you will be difficult.
You used your own blood to push the bullets out?
Come and get me, kid.
Hey, wait! You can't go! We're in the middle of a mission!
I have to!
Aoi, please!
But...
Let's check it out. If Kaoru's sensing something, there must be something to it.
That's what I don't get! Give me a real explanation!
Oh, well.
Hey! Wait!
Prep BABEL 1! We're going after them.
Could it be... Has he?!
Calm down and go back to your work, Queen.
Sorry, but I'm going through, even if I have to blast you!
Don't underestimate us!
How about you explain what's going on?
Don't waste your time, Empress.
You're right. It's hard to use psychometry on a high-level esper.
This little guy, on the other hand...
How'd you know I was there?
You'll just get the same result. Momotaro's a high-level esper, too.
Tell me, and I'll give you candy.
Oh, well, the thing about Black Phantom
You little rodent! is that it isn't actually an esper crime syndicate.
Apparently, kidnapped espers
are hypnotized by Normals to be used as their tools.
Kyosuke's fighting to free them from their brainwashing.
Well, there you have it.
If they can't be deprogrammed, they have to be killed.
The major's taken the entire burden upon himself alone.
Using espers, stealing their minds...
Attacking other espers and Normals?
The major isn't a mere criminal.
PANDRA exists to fight these sorts of people.
Kaoru!
Now be good and go back to Mr. Glasses.
But!
Do that, and I can go back up the major.
We're the only ones here who need to dirty our hands with this.
If they can't be deprogrammed, they have to be killed.
I see. Hyobu's doing this because it's what we want, as well.
You mean...
You mean we should just run away and not do anything?!
We might be able to do something! We're The Children!
Kaoru!
Minamoto!
Go, Kaoru! I'll back you up!
Right!
I won't let you! The major ordered it!
Momotaro, where's Mr. Hyobu?
B-But Kyosuke said...
Please!
We're not going to let you people call the shots here!
So immature...
So... Your name's Magi, huh?
You!
You were so busy talking, you left your mind wide open.
Shiho! His hair's been configured with carbon!
Use electricity!
Roger! This should work better than a gun.
I could kick her off easily, but the major doesn't want them harmed.
Meaning, in this case...
I'll just have to take it!
Good! Now follow Kaoru, fast!
Here?!
A kid?
I figured you'd end up coming.
All that work, down the drain.
Is that kid being manipulated by Black Phantom? I'll help, too!
No! Keep back!
I couldn't break his brainwashing.
The only way to save him now
is to kill him!
You think I'll keep letting you close the distance with me?!
Do I hit him with psychokinesis? No...
When you teleport, movement the instant before you appear gives your position away.
Mr. Hyobu!
No good. That's an illusion.
Good night! You're finished!
No!
Mr. Hyobu, you can't!
What have you done?! There's no other choice!
Even so, don't do it!
You've saved me over and over!
Today, I'm going to make this work, somehow!
I think Kyosuke's in real trouble. That damage looks real.
Thanks for the help, little girl.
Here's a token of gratitude!
Why, you!
Momotaro, stop!
Why?
I'm not sure why, but we can't just attack him!
I have a feeling the power controlling him
just gets stronger when he's attacked!
She can sense Hypno power?
Black Phantom probably exploited
weaknesses in his heart when they hypnotized him. Perhaps...
There's strong hatred in him that the Hypno's exploiting.
Shiho!
This is your hometown, isn't it?
Get out, you monster!
We don't want espers in this town!
Murderer!
No! They were robbing me!
They attacked my mom! And so, I...
I never wanted this power!
DON'T TOUCH ME!
Sorry for the wait.
Aoi!
You fool! I was trying to...
Restrain him! The Children!
Roger!
Stop them, Minamoto!
And you just shut up!
Those three can do this.
And I'm here to help where their inexperience can't!
Well, aren't we just full of ourselves?
Even with my gun sealed, it's too late!
Oh, no, you don't! We knew you'd do this!
He's probably expecting a close-range attack.
There're better things to use as a shield, right?
Huh? Of course!
Making me dodge my own bullets!
Gotcha!
This guy can move things besides bullets?!
Esper battles are about fighting an opponent who follows different rules.
Distract them, and you create an opening!
Why, you!
Stay away!
Kaoru!
You're concentrating all your power on defense.
Too bad I still have some power to call on!
Stop it! We're trying to help you!
I can smell lead from that girl. My favorite smell!
Stop it, please!
Don't!
I warned you!
Wait! We've been waiting for him to use his full power!
What?
The Children! Triple Boost!
Full release!
< < FULL RELEASE> >
What?
Boost? Mio mentioned it before.
Now's your chance!
Roger!
It's no good! His psychokinesis will overwhelm them!
The boost will only last a few more seconds!
Any more, and they'll be!
I won't let you!
An abnormal psychic wave! It wasn't designed to do this!
Kaoru, wait!
She's taking the last drop of our power!
What's this light?!
Psychic Force Of Absolution.
She destroyed the Hypno?
That level of brainwashing, without killing him?
K-Kaoru!
Kaoru!
She's unconscious!
Teleport her down gently.
Kaoru!
You blew it, Minamoto.
Didn't you see?
With a single shot, she freed him from brainwashing which I couldn't break.
That wasn't just her drawing power from her friends.
She instinctively forged an entirely new one.
The protector of espers.
That is her true form!
What are you saying?
I think you know.
She is the esper messiah!
You, a Normal, are helping to give birth to the queen.
As you always shall.
I embraced your boasting tight
Even everything about your sad profile
I love
Girl who gets stronger with every wall she breaks
My eyes will never wander from you
Because these too-honest feelings in my heart
Can't be beaten by anyone
I absolutely will never let you go
No matter when or why
And I'll change that still-unseen last scene
Devils and angels both have wings
So let's aim for higher skies
Don't let your smile be clouded anymore
When the hopes that connect us now
Rip the darkness apart
Together, you and I
Will fly towards the future, Break Your Destiny
< < NEXT EPISODE> >
Next time, on Zettai Karen Children!
Minamoto!
Who are?
Sorry for the wait, Minamoto.
K-Kaoru?
What's wrong? Don't you feel well?
Mr. Minamoto!
He's unconscious!
Who's doing this? Why would they do this to Minamoto?!
Zettai Karen Children!
Episode 38! "The Butterfly's Dream. Dream Maker!"
I've got you! It's show time!
We're absolutely lovely, so we never lose!
