The full name for BABEL means "ESP Support Laboratory" in Japanese.
Base of Backing ESP Laboratory The full name for BABEL means "ESP Support Laboratory" in Japanese.
As a special agency affiliated with the Japanese government,
it researches all sorts of things related to us espers.
Its chief duties are...
1 - The identification, care, and raising of espers.
2 - ESP research.
3- The prediction and defense against major incidents.
4 - To take care of any incidents in which espers are believed to be involved.
5 - To deal with any incidents or accidents...
which are beyond the abilities of the regular police and the like.
Those are the duties of we in BABEL!
Yes, well done! Another fine job from The Children!
As expected of our nation's most powerful espers!
Compliment us for a change!
By the way, this is Chief Taizo Kiritsubo.
Our boss, and the most important man in BABEL.
Most important? He doesn't look it, though...
TAIZO KIRITSUBO Chief of BABEL Most important? He doesn't look it, though...
TAIZO KIRITSUBO Chief of BABEL No, he doesn't.
OBORO KASHIWAGI Personal Assistant to the Chief No, he doesn't.
OBORO KASHIWAGI Personal Assistant to the Chief And this is Oboro Kashiwagi, his personal assistant.
A dependable woman who's always supporting the chief.
The unsung hero of the agency.
By the way, she's a mystery woman whose age is unknown.
I wonder how old she is?
Hmm...
It's under the direction of these two people...
that we espers at BABEL do our work every day.
And our aces are, as you know, the special espers.
Which takes us next to...
The Children Corner!
Come in!
The team of young girls who are the only three Level 7 espers in Japan.
That is The Children!
Let's look at its members, beginning with Kaoru Akashi, psychokinetic.
KAORU AKASHI (Lvl. 7 Psychokinetic) DOB: 30 July (Leo) Blood Type: O Let's look at its members, beginning with Kaoru Akashi, psychokinetic.
KAORU AKASHI (Lvl. 7 Psychokinetic) DOB: 30 July (Leo) Blood Type: O Kaoru's psychic power is psychokinesis,
which allows her to lift heavy objects like this without her hands.
PSYCHIC BALANCING TOY!
And to deploy a shield like this.
PSYCHIC AEGIS SHIELD!
Here we go! PSYCHIC TAPE CUT!
PSYCHIC...
AFTERIMAGE HUNDRED-CRACK FIST!
She can launch powerful attacks like this.
Or... PSYCHIC...
SEX APPEAL!
Natsuko, stop that! All the good little kids watching will see!
Who? Me? Did I do something wrong?
AOI NOGAMI (Lvl. 7 Teleporter) DOB: 26 December (Capricorn) Blood Type: A
Next up is Aoi Nogami, teleporter!
Aoi's psychic power is teleportation.
She can instantly transport herself far away. She can also...
Why, you...
as you can see, move people and objects, as well.
Okay, enough!
She can also put her power to practical use like this!
Yes, I see.
She can make up all kinds of uses for it, not just to move things.
That's Aoi's psychic power.
By the way, this is Mio, from PANDRA.
She's a teleporter, too. There are many varieties of them.
SHIHO SANNOMIYA (Lvl. 7 Psychometrist) DOB: 12 February (Aquarius) Blood Type: AB Yeah. And then there's Shiho Sannomiya, psychometrist.
Shiho's psychic power is psychometry.
With a single touch, she can instantly read about...
a person or object's past, present, and learn everything about it.
Who are you trying to sound like? So, we leave criminal investigations to her.
Right, and she can also use it like this!
Hydraulic shovel. Maker: Oomatsu. Model #PC120-5.
Load capacity: 11,700 kg.
Standard bucket capacity of 0.5 cubic meters.
I breathe life into you!
In this way, she can read a machine or tool and gain instant mastery of it.
And she's the best elementary school kid with a pistol or fishing rod there is!
When she plays a game, she gets the high score.
Racing games are a piece of cake, too.
And she can use her ability to communicate secretly.
Still, Shiho's been kind of... dark... lately.
Yeah. I'm not her parent, but I worry about her future.
So, while these three have powers that put an adult to shame,
they're all actually still just 10-year-old girls.
See? They go to elementary school every day.
This is their school friend, Chisato Hanai.
She's a Level 2 esper.
IT CAN'T BE TRUE!
And this is Masaru Tono, Chisato's childhood friend.
By the way, he's also...
No! No! Don't you dare tell them and embarrass that poor girl!
And now, let's take a look at The Childrens' absolutely lovely fashions!
We'll introduce them all at once!
And the one leading these three is...
KOICHI MINAMOTO The Children's On-Site Supervisor DOB: 18 September (Virgo) Blood Type: B
Koichi Minamoto, The Children's on-site supervisor.
BABEL's resident genius! When he and The Children join forces,
there's nothing they can't handle!
Not to mention he's a hunk!
He also cooks, cleans, and does laundry.
His personality is honest and kind...
He's going to make someone a great husband.
I'd like to announce my availability to be the bride!
Oh, yes! So do I!
Welcome home, dear.
Do you want dinner? A bath, maybe?
Or, perhaps...
you want ME?
Kidding!
Still, if it weren't for his... interests...
Oh, speak of the devil!
Loli...
...con.
I'M NOT!
We made him mad.
Well, that's all we have to say about The Children.
Let's introduce the other special espers!
So, who should we start with?
Let's see... Okay, we'll start here.
NAOMI UMEGAE (Lvl. 6 Psychokinetic) DB: 28 May (Gemini) Bloody Type: AB
Code name: Wild Cat! Actually a student at Ichijou Girls' High School:
Naomi Umegae!
I know what you want to do and who you want to do it to!
I know, I know. I wanted to try changing the mood a little.
Naomi is a Level 6 psychokinetic.
And there went the chance...
Her signature move is to use her psychic power to stun her opponents.
PSYCHIC STUN SUBJECTION!
Yeah, she does it so charmingly.
She's conscientious with work and a whiz at school.
She's such a polite model student...
that she used to have the cute code name Kitty Cat, but...
But Wild is a better description for her now, because...
ICHIRO TANIZAKI Wild Cat's On-Site Supervisor But Wild is a better description for her now, because...
ICHIRO TANIZAKI Wild Cat's On-Site Supervisor Ew. Here he is. This guy.
It's the fault of her partner, Supervisor Tanizaki,
that she's now called Wild Cat.
Well, despite appearances, Mr. Tanizaki is good at his job.
And he seems to be thinking about Naomi's college entrance exams.
He's a good guy in some ways...
A good guy in some ways...
A good guy in some ways, but... How do we put this?
YOU CREEPY MIDDLE-AGED PERVERTS!
My... wild...
Hmm... When you look at them till now...
Yeah, yeah.
They've actually been getting along pretty well, haven't they?
Maybe not "pretty" well. More " kinda" well.
TO EAT!
Whew... She scared me.
Next up are our new, rising stars: The Hound.
This is a two-person team.
HATSUNE INUGAMI (Lvl. 2-4 Multi Power User) DOB: 7 November (Scorpio) Blood Type: O This is a two-person team.
HATSUNE INUGAMI (Lvl. 2-4 Multi Power User) DOB: 7 November (Scorpio) Blood Type: O Let's start with this girl: Hatsune Inugami.
Her power is an enormous appetite!
No, it isn't. She's a special multi-power user.
She can combine and use several powers to transform into a wolf.
Whoa...
Cool, huh?
I'm jealous.
And that's not all, as you can see here.
Hm... That's kind of sexy.
AKIRA YADORIGI (Lvl. 2-4 Multi Power User) DOB: 16 October (Libra) Blood Type: B
And this is her partner, Akira Yadorigi.
A multi-power user like her, he can use his power of Replace...
to swap his mind with another person or animal.
Oh, that was so cute!
Yeah, the hamster was cute. Oh, that was so cute!
And also...
Right! There was this one, too! That was adorable!
They were all so huggable. Right! There was this one, too! That was adorable!
I went weak in the knees over them.
By the way, these two were childhood friends.
Their families have been a team for generations,
so they live in the same house.
But it isn't so much romantic as it is this...
Oh, poor, brave Akira...
KEIKO KOJIKA The Hound's On-Site Supervisor
By the way, this is their supervisor, Ms. Kojika.
She's a clumsy girl with antenna hair.
Her favorite spot is that museum in Mitaka...
STOP, NATSUKO!
Anyway, it's our turn next, but... We gotta go to commercial now.
We've already burned through the first half of the episode?
Don't give up! Hang on, Doubleface!
Send us some fan mail!
Stay tuned for the address!
What's the deal?
There's no address!
There wasn't any address...
Cheer up! We'll fight harder in the second half!
Almost time to introduce us, The Doubleface! But before that...
The Children Special Corner!
The Top Three Release Introductions!
Um, why time it like this?
Because they're the main characters on the show.
What's wrong with us?!
Anyway, let's start with number three!
Going after my family is a little over the line!
Beautiful, sexy, and absolutely lovely! That's us!
We'll send you to paradise!
Special espers, The Children, have arrived!
Ah, I see. That's a relatively orthodox one, huh?
I have a recollection of this from the very beginning.
The Children were so innocent back then.
And moving on to number two!
Changing, but unchanging! The invincible espers!
Where? Where? Where do we come from?! BABEL, of course!
Let's go! Heroes who protect with the power of gold!
Just call us...
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
Oh, that one seems kind of sullied in retrospect.
Well, at least they seem to be having a good time with it.
And now, number one!
Okay!
Let's go, everyone!
Teku maku mahari ta-tari laa-ri-laaan!
Let's bring happiness to everyone in the world!
Oh, it's so cute! Let's bring happiness to everyone in the world!
There's nothing sullied about this one! Let's bring happiness to everyone in the world!
There's nothing sullied about this one!
Special espers The Children!
Although... It's kind of wrong, isn't it? Special espers The Children!
Although... It's kind of wrong, isn't it?
And finally, it's time to introduce ourselves, The Doubleface!
THE DOUBLEFACE Natsuko Tokiwa - Hotaru Nowaki And finally, it's time to introduce ourselves, The Doubleface!
THE DOUBLEFACE Natsuko Tokiwa - Hotaru Nowaki Hooray! At last!
Although, doesn't this kind of feel like they're just shoving us in any old place?
Yeah, kind of...
Um, anyway, to reintroduce myself, I'm Hotaru Nowaki, or Notchi!
And I'm Natsuko Tokiwa, or Na-chan!
And together we are The Doubleface!
Right, we work as BABEL's receptionists.
I'm a Level 5 telepath.
Oh, and telepathy is... How do I put it?
The psychic power to peek into other peoples' minds!
Hey, Natsuko! Quit making me sound bad!
By the way, I'm a Level 5 clairvoyant, the power of second sight.
And the power of clairvoyance is...
The power to look through walls and peek at peoples' secrets.
Cut it out. Although that's totally what I can do...
I can see things from really, really far away...
Me, too! Me, too! I not only can read minds,
but I can transmit my thoughts, too!
It's the best power for having secret conversations, right?
Hey! Um...
We're actually very good friends.
Yeah, we are!
And this is Kuretake Ryou,
the BABEL women's dorm, where we live together.
Huh? Hold it!
Hold it!
But, we're the Madonnas of BABEL!
There's a six-month wait to get dates with us!
This is ruining our image...
They've been making us look like this since New Year's...
We have to break this off, and fast!
Next up, let's introduce Dr. Sakaki!
SHUJI SAKAKI (Lvl. 6 Psychometrist) DOB: 28 June (Cancer) Blood Type: A
Dr. Sakaki is a Level 6 psychometrist.
The same sort of psychic as Shiho, right?
He can also use psychokinesis to interfere with a person's life functions.
He's currently serving as a doctor in our medical division.
And his personality is, as you can see...
Kind of a laid-back playboy.
By the way, he's an old friend of Minamoto's...
from when they were both studying abroad in Comerica.
They seem to be best friends since then, although...
They are best friends, right?
It might be my imagination,
but lately I've detected a sort of rift between them.
Yeah...
No way, right?
And finally, the last person we'll be looking at:
Director Tsubomi.
Yay! At last!
This is Director Fujiko Tsubomi.
She appears to be a fresh-faced young woman, but her age is...
FUJIKO TSUBOMI (Lvl. UNKNOWN Multi Power User) DOB: 24 March (Aries) Blood Type: B Estimated Age: 83 She appears to be a fresh-faced young woman, but her age is...
FUJIKO TSUBOMI (Lvl. UNKNOWN Multi Power User) DOB: 24 March (Aries) Blood Type: B Estimated Age: 83 Whoa! Don't go bringing up any taboo subjects!
Anyway, the director is a multi-power user,
so she can perform psychokinesis at nearly The Childrens' level,
along with teleportation and psychometry.
In addition, she has the power to suck out the life energy of others.
Consequently, she stops her aging process and has her current form.
Right, right. Also, in actuality,
she's been the boom in the shadows...
secretly running BABEL since its inception.
And another one... BOOM!
And again... BOOM!
She has the personality of someone born to be a queen.
And then poof, she's an innocent girl!
And in the director's bedroom, where she's always sleeping...
Let's sneak inside and pay her a visit.
Good morning!
Wow, so this is the infamous bedroom.
Gulp.
Director, please get up.
Tsubomin, wake up.
She isn't waking up.
Well then, let's take this opportunity...
to take you all on a tour around BABEL headquarters.
BABEL BUILDING BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR
Entitled...
BABEL BUILDING BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR The BABEL Building Behind the Scenes Tour!
Start!
First up, the control room!
Whoa, that's an impressive big-screen monitor.
I'm actually really into huge monitors.
Next up, the chief's office!
The desk brimming over with a sense of refreshment,
which connects person to person, chief to subordinate.
It glows with craftsmanship.
The prediction section.
Go for it, Precogs!
The elevator hall!
In we go...
And through, into reception!
This is where we're stationed.
The simulation room.
This is the room Naomi trained in before.
Training room #5.
This also appeared in Naomi's episode.
Next are Dr. Sakaki's rooms. The examination room.
The scanner room.
A hospital room.
Another hospital room.
And another hospital room. How many of these are there?!
The ready room. That's where they always do...
the "When you watch Psychic Squad" bit.
Oh, this is rare! The study room!
Huh? This showed up?
By the way, Director Tsubomi has several more rooms...
in addition to the bedroom we saw before.
They all get the VIP treatment, huh?
And now, the "We Had That Room?" series!
Teaching room!
Meeting room!
Briefing room!
And this is?
Let's not touch anything.
The large bath, which everyone loves.
The shower room!
The staff gym!
Cafeteria!
Armory!
By the way, BABEL has all sorts of facilities besides headquarters.
For instance, the Fuji Research Center.
And the Izu hospice facility.
This is where Hanae Suetsumu and others...
use their ESP for medical care.
And this is the special esper criminal prison: East Eden.
Next up, let's introduce our mecha, the pride of BABEL!
First up, our special helicopter, BABEL 1!
That's our most conspicuous mecha, isn't it?
It launches in this manner from a hatch in HQ.
Since it's for transporting special espers,
it naturally has a beam cannon, as you can see!
Awesome! Next up is our submarine, BABEL 2!
I'd like to ride it once.
Yeah, but...
It's not happening. It only shows up in two episodes.
Finally, there's our armored truck, BABEL 3!
The plainest-looking but possibly most active, you think?
The exterior is very aggressive, but...
But...
Inside, it's a very peaceful space.
And spacious.
By the way, all of BABEL's mecha...
is piloted by this man: Mr. Takakura!
Huh? He has a name?
Yes, so please remember it.
Right!
Anyway, do you think we've given a broad introduction to BABEL?
Hmm...
It looks like we've reached the end of this special episode.
There are lots more people working for BABEL...
besides the ones introduced here.
There's this guy, even though he's vanished for now.
Building a society where Normals and espers can live hand in hand.
That's the wish of us here at BABEL. However...
PANDRA, the criminal esper organization led by Major Hyobu.
And the mysterious organization Black Phantom!
That's right, there's no end to the espers who cause trouble.
Will peace ever come?
And what is the future of our BABEL?
No matter what, we in BABEL won't lose!
Over the future world!
Yay!
So, as Psychic Squad heats up...
Everyone, we hope you keep on watching!
That's all! This has been The Doubleface!
