Great job, girls!
Come on, two-abreast. Stay in line.
No talking.
NATIONAL ESP TEST No talking.
NATIONAL ESP TEST The test will be over soon.
Follow our instructions...
and we may find something wonderful in you!
Um, can I take your picture?
The two of us...
are public servants.
Two photos apiece!
Okay, next question.
You see a snail crawling along a straight razor.
You want to use the razor. What do you do?
Even saying that...
Just answer it.
Well, I'd do nothing. The razor'd be all gross.
Holy... Her power's off the scale of all the equipment!
So... You're a Level 2! No special problems at all!
Yay! Thank goodness!
Next, please.
Yes.
Last question.
You're dating that secretary, now?
I'm asking the questions!
But you know we're Level 7, right?
And we need to examine you to keep that a secret.
Right, right. Even so...
I wish I had psychokinesis. Powerful enough to fly!
Forget it. You couldn't do that unless you were at least a Level 6.
Only 2 or 3 people out of a hundred are espers.
And most of them are below Level 2.
Is it like this every year?
Pretty much. It's natural for kids to want ESP.
Even so, but everyone's scared of strangers who have them.
Scared, huh?
Dr. Sakaki, can I have a moment?
What's up, Dr. Minamoto?
There's a child giving me some troubling readings.
Gotcha. Take over here, then.
Also, how'd Kaoru's test go?
Huh? Pretty normal.
I see. She 's looked awfully moody lately.
You think it's over what happened with Carry?
Yeah.
It's okay. It's natural for her to be shocked...
over how Carry didn't get a happy ending.
Stay out of private conversations!
Even so, she's been really distant.
Move it! We're getting backed up out here!
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
45th sense: "Natural Talents are Natural! Gift of Children"
Level 2, huh?
Never stronger, never weaker. Just kinda half-baked.
Ever think about which you'd like to see happen?
Which would you prefer, Chisato?
It might be nice to be totally normal and not have any troubles, but...
but if I could develop to a Level 7 and become a special esper,
that might be fun, too.
Actually, that's a real pain, too...
Yeah! That might be a lot of fun! Right, Kaoru?
Maybe having ESP means never being happy...
Sorry, Chisato! We've got urgent business!
Okay. Bye!
Whoa! That's fast! Wonder what's so urgent.
Him?
Yeah. Takeshi Kawamura. He's in third grade at your school.
This isn't an actual mission, but...
We want you to watch him. We have clearance from the chief.
Why him?
His ESP test results show a high probability...
that he's a latent esper whose powers are about to awaken.
His latent powers are estimated to be between Level 4 to Level 6.
That can be dangerous, right?
He could also manifest several strong powers immediately after awakening.
I want you to follow him, just in case anything happens.
Secretly?
That'd be best, if you can do it.
Roger!
Just keep this in mind.
You aren't watching him because he's a dangerous monster.
If he does turn out to be an esper, we want him to have a peaceful life.
Minamoto...
Mr. Minamoto.
Okay, Minamoto! Release us!
Right!
The Children, released!
<>
National ESP Test RETEST NOTICE A retest, huh?
Why me?
Yo!
Hello!
Are you Takeshi Kawamura?
What?
Is he already?!
Oh, no!
Who...
Who are you?!
Those girls! I said secretly!
Aside from that, shouldn't you have mentioned it?
It... It's just that Kaoru seems so distant now...
Not about Kaoru. Didn't you look at the file?
That kid's dad is a supporter of the Normal People.
Yeah, I know.
So, why didn't you tell them?
It's why I asked The Children to do this.
It'll be okay. I know they can make this work.
You're all espers?
Yeah, Level 7... I mean, 2!
A teacher asked us to talk to you.
So, anyway...
Nice to meet you!
The thing is, they're not sure if I'm an esper or not.
Doesn't something seem weird here?
W-Well...
Would tailing him have been that much of a pain?
But you should be happy to have...
three such pretty and cute big sisters to come meet you!
Right! So don't sweat the details!
Let's have fun! Party of one, this way, please!
All we have is 3,800 yen. It's like we're pulling him into a clip-joint.
So, your mom and dad are Normals and they both work?
Yeah. They both teach at the university.
So, what kind of powers do you want, Takeshi?
Powers?
For example... Psychokinesis!
Or maybe psychometry?
Wow. You practice your swing a hundred times a day?
How did you know?!
Or maybe teleportation!
Check it out! You can levitate your body and fly!
The ESP reading nearby them is rising!
Are they trying to stimulate his powers to awaken?
What's wrong?
Someone's come home!
Welcome home, Father!
Friends?
Hello!
Um, well...
ESP limiters... Espers?
But...
Takeshi, you have homework. End this at once.
Huh? Father, wait!
Kinda cold, huh?
It's not like we made a bad first impression...
"ESP Is Destroying the World!"
Wh-When did?!
Oh, man. Your dad wrote this?
"ESP can only break down traditional society.
"They have a negative impact on the lives of Normals..."
Wow. Pretty mean stuff inside that thing.
I'm gonna beat every last word back into him!
Stop that!
Leggo! But! But! Stop that!
Leggo! But! But! You'll just make things worse!
Even if he becomes an esper, look at what his dad's like!
Kaoru!
Don't be such a baby!
It wasn't me!
Which means...
Me?!
Ah! His ESP's activated!
Yeah, it's me. Where are we meeting tonight? Sorry, can't make it. Ah! His ESP's activated!
Yeah, it's me. Where are we meeting tonight? Sorry, can't make it. Sakaki, hurry up and...
No personal calls during a mission!
Um, I need to make three more, or I'm in trouble!
Come on, try to do it again!
B-But...
It's okay! Your core ESP power is activating!
Try this. Imagine opening a hole over your head...
and lowering it so that your body slips inside.
Slip in?
He did it!
This is my ESP?!
I'm falling!
Check it out! You can levitate your body and fly!
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Ow...
This is my?
AWESOME!
Now I'll be an esper!
What?! You lost him? Is he all right?
He levitated his body just before impact.
He what?
I wouldn't have thought he'd slip past The Children.
But he can't maintain that level of power for even an hour!
If we don't find him and get him into protection, it could be dangerous!
Calm down! Didn't you say we should leave this to the girls?
Even so, you could guess what a child...
suddenly given powerful esper abilities might do.
Wh-What?
Think about it.
Sort the large trash...
Clean his room...
God, you're lame.
I have a feeling I know where he is.
If I'm a capybara, then you're asparagus!
I'm sorry! I don't understand!
What?!
Stop it!
Huh?! Well, if it isn't Takeshi. You want some?
Whoa! I feel all prickly!
Wh-What the heck?
You can't bully me anymore!
You... You can just straight up fight me now?
Take this! I'll turn you into a puddle of grease!
Don't get carried away!
How dare you injure my noble face!
Great, he's awakened and now he thinks he's a Planet Soldier!
He's on a high from suddenly getting powers like this.
Powers... As in... ESP?!
He's an esper?
Stay out of this! I hate how he bullies everyone!
Don't hurt us!
Wait! I wanted to save you.
Run!
Yeah!
Run!
Why? I'm the bad guy here? Run!
Why? I'm the bad guy here?
Well, duh! You don't use ESP for a stupid kid's fight!
Of course they'll hate you!
Hah! Like I care!
You should listen to your sempai!
Sempai?
I don't have to take that from a bunch of Level 2's!
Stop it!
You're not Level 2's...
Interesting.
Who knows how powerful I'll get if I go all-out on you!
Let's see!
Kaoru!
You!
Financial crisis!
Noble!
Righteous!
Beautiful!
That's us!
The preparations are complete.
With this, we can pay back...
the filthy espers who threaten the order of our world!
What's the matter?! Can't beat me?!
Kaoru!
Fine.
You asked for it, now we'll show you what we can really do!
Between espers and Normals...
a little cold rain will fall!
If you can sympathize, then give us a limiter!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
Those clothes... You're special espers.
Now I get it.
Meaning, if I show you how good I am,
I'll get to work for BABEL, right?
Careful, Kaoru!
He's not going to hold back!
I know. I'm not letting this idiot do as he likes!
What?!
You're pretty powerful. However...
You're fighting the wrong people!
What do you mean?
I'm saying there's someone else you want to acknowledge you!
Do you really want us or your friends to tell you how great you are?
Why do you think you're trying so hard, using your powers to make your case?
That's...
Those kids... What are they doing?
Stop...
What?!
The ship!
Uh-oh! The bridge is collapsing!
Huh?
I'll hold it up!
Aoi! Shiho! Get those people off the bridge while I do!
Roger!
But what's such a huge ship doing in this little river?!
Yes?
Minamoto, we have an emergency! Turn on the news!
Several espers are running amuck at the Oedogawa River estuary.
Several Normals appear to be caught in the middle, as well.
We have reports that the ship was taken over by espers and piloted into the river, Espers hijacked the ship?
We have reports that the ship was taken over by espers and piloted into the river, Precog division had no predictions of any esper crimes!
but no details as yet. What's going on here?
We appear to have a camera on the scene now.
Espers? But what would they be after?
No, look closely. At the ship's crew.
The Normal People!
What the hell are they up to?!
We'll teleport them to somewhere safe for now!
Forget about the cars!
What?
Hurry! The people inside!
I know!
We've gotten video of the espers running amuck!
Espers are definitely involved in this. You idiot, they're rescuing people!
With us for analysis is Toutou University...
assistant professor Takenori Kawamura.
Takeshi's!
This is the sort of incident you'd expect when espers are left at large.
As I wrote in my book,
Not good. This is just going to spread anti-esper sentiment! As I wrote in my book,
Not good. This is just going to spread anti-esper sentiment! espers are our greatest enemies, bar none!
Exactly! You have to capture them at once!
Understood. I'll go to the TV network and explain the situation.
But what about The Children in the meantime?
Don't worry! I trust those girls!
We'll dispatch a special unit immediately! Rendezvous with them!
Go to it!
The oil!
Kaoru!
Forget it! The bridge is taking everything I've got!
What do we do?
I'll hold it up!
But how long will your powers hold out?!
So, hurry!
Gotcha!
Since one side looks like it's about to catch fire...
PSYCHIC FLYING THROW!
She threw them!
They're falling!
Exploding!
Threatening nearby houses! Mr. Kawamura, please calm down.
There's another esper there, too.
T-Takeshi?
What's the meaning of this? Stop it!
Mr. Kawamura, please! We're broadcasting! What's the meaning of this? Stop it!
Mr. Kawamura, please! We're broadcasting! There must be some mistake!
Mr. Kawamura?
Who are you?
I'm with BABEL. Please come with me.
I never expected real special espers to show up.
If we send out our fake espers with this holographic projector...
It'll look like a riot of rampaging espers.
I see.
You've been up to all kinds of nasty tricks, huh?
Who?!
Since you had to make a big mess, I had to cancel four dates!
You're gonna pay for that.
In that case...
Whoops! No, you don't!
Just accept it.
Impossible. My son can't be an esper!
Even Normal parents can carry the genes for ESP.
You... You must be joking. This horrible thing!
That's the way! One more and I'm done!
Hang in there!
It's almost over, Takeshi!
T-Takeshi.
It's okay.
He's just helping us deal with this accident.
Zero casualties, thanks to Takeshi.
With him holding the bridge up, we could concentrate on rescue operations.
He...
Mr. Kawamura, why not try seeing it this way?
Even if you don't like them,
Takeshi's talents are a gift. A gift from God.
Without that blessing, things would have turned out much worse.
Surely there must be some meaning for him to have been given these powers.
Okay, you can stop.
I'm beat.
You did your best.
And you did great.
Good job.
In the end, Takeshi's power settled down as psychokinesis.
So, what's with the tea table in the interview room?
Something the father can safely overturn in case he gets angry.
It's all made from special materials!
This is why taxes are so high.
But, if his dad flips that table over, then...
I...
Kaoru.
Up till now, I've warned of the dangers...
of the spread of espers from the standpoint of a Normal.
I was protecting my family and society.
Here it comes!
Uh-oh!
And now... My own son is!
Please calm down!
I can't live at home anymore, can I?
He threw his book!
And he's stepping on it!
What's going on?
But now I see it differently!
From now on, instead of seeing things as a Normal,
I'll see them as protecting my family!
Father!
Typical doting parent...
Please take care of my son! Please develop his powers!
Thank goodness.
Starting with the Normal People,
anti-esper groups are the enemies of society.
So, he ended up following in Kaoru's footsteps. anti-esper groups are the enemies of society.
I wish his teleportation skills had developed instead. anti-esper groups are the enemies of society.
I wish his teleportation skills had developed instead. Esper powers are a blessing from heaven! A gift from God!
Even so, look how much his dad's changed. Esper powers are a blessing from heaven! A gift from God!
I wonder if our powers are a blessing to someone, too?
Of course they are.
They are to your families. And to me.
Minamoto.
I love your abilities.
Oh, not when you're in a bad mood, though!
Minamoto!
What's this?
A present, from us three.
It's Valentine's Day.
Oh. That's right.
You girls... Thank you.
Aw... You must be happy to have...
someone say they love you on Valentine's night.
It's too soon for you to propose to us, you perv!
That's kind of a big leap you're making there!
Aw, be honest, now.
I'd like to have two children!
How does it always end up like this?!
Okay, now for a wonderful Valentine's date with...
Uh-oh! I triple booked!
I turn to the front, embracing the dream
Making up my mind, looking up to the sky
I'll fly beyond the future with my wings
You alone are my heart's desire!
I declared that I love you absolutely
As the shining seasons pass
Your face is still as troubled as in
The photos I took to remember those days
As I shed warm, gentle tears
Let's try to meet here tomorrow, too
Without making promises, let's go
As casually as always
Waving my little hand with a smile
"Bye bye, till we meet again"
NEXT EPISODE
Next time, on Zettai Karen Children!
Miss Suetsu, there's one last thing I'd like to tell you.
About my power.
Your power? But, I thought you were a Normal, Mr. Obata.
It's a very rare type of composite power.
Use this.
A notebook? What's?
A magic notebook...
that makes any wish come true?!
Zettai Karen Children!
