'Morning, Pops.
Hey.
What do you think?
What is that?
I told you, my mark! For Kuuga!
Kuuga?
I know that song "Koi no Kuuga". It's by The Peanuts.
'Chasing after you, chasing after you'
I'm pretty sure that's "Koi no Fuuga."
You're right!
Good morning!
Oh!
Hi. It's been a long time, Minoritch!
You're still calling me that?
Siblings
Why not? It's like a fancy brand name.
Are you off today?
Yep! It's a good thing it fell on a Saturday.
You really came at a good time!
What?
I need to go over to Miss Sakurako's place, so can you cover for me?
But today's...
They should have translated more stuff about Kuuga that I need to know.
I'm counting on you!
You think my brother even remembers it's his birthday?
It is?
It's today?
He's twenty-five now.
Y'know, he always comes back dead tired, lately.
What?
Yet despite that, he acts... really motivated? Like he's on a roll?
I wonder what's up?
Our investigation has been able to confirm the Unidentified Life Forms have been gathering in a particular location.
Metropolitan Police Joint Investigation Task Force HQ
You could call it their hideout.
Go ahead with the details, Ichijou.
Yes, sir.
As we all know, although they can take on the appearance of humans
they have all been distinguishable by having a variety of tattoos somewhere on their body.
Since they've begun operating exclusively in Tokyo, there are eight locations where they've been commonly sighted.
Starting with #3, multiple Unidentified Life Forms have been seen at these spots...
And if they're coordinating as a group, there's a chance an individual may be calling all the shots.
A boss, huh?
The problem is that as soon as people seem to become aware of their presence they relocate.
They have so much power... Why would they need to run away?
There's the biggest question we have at the moment.
We have encountered twenty of the Unidentified Life Forms so far.
We're looking at 298 dead as a result of their actions, including police officers.
We're not going to sit by and let that number get any bigger.
No matter what, we must find their hideout and see to it that they're eliminated.
Shimazaki.
Sir.
I'm Shimazaki from the police K-9 unit.
To assist in dealing with the Unidentified Life Forms issue, my department provided a few police dogs.
After a month and a half of training, only one, named Mikado, can pick up the special pheromone the Unidentified Life Forms emit to track them.
Sakurai.
Sir.
I want you to work with Shimazaki to coordinate the search with the police dogs.
Focus on Shinagawa, Oota and Meguro areas, where the most reports have been coming in lately.
Understood.
Lastly, R&D has been working on on a way for us to deal with them, once we find their base.
The details are in the report Ms. Enokida from R&D has filed,
but from an analysis of the smoke that seemed to affect #5...
We've been able to develop special gas grenades for use against the Unidentified Life Forms.
Once you switch off the safety, you throw it, and it will explode and spread the gas.
I never imagined we'd be using stuff like this...
It should be noted that we can't be certain of how effective it will be on other Unidentified Life Forms until we can test it in the field.
This search is going to boil down to being thorough, and persistent.
I want you all to continue the investigation with the aim of locating the Unidentified Life Forms base, and the eventual suppression of it.
Yes, sir!
What's the holdup?!
What's up with this?
I did it. I even asked for permission.
How many?
One hundred and sixty two of them.
Yes?
It's Enokida. How was the meeting?
About what I expected.
Thanks for your help.
Sorry I couldn't show up!
It's fine. Didn't you take the day off to spend with your kid?
I was supposed to, but I'm still at the lab!
National Research Institute of Police Science, Chiba
I fell asleep doing some analysis and when I woke up it was the time we agreed to meet up!
Is everything going to be okay?
I don't think so.
Jounan University Archeology Department
Good morning.
A t-shirt this time?
You're having fun, aren't you, Godai?
I think it's pretty stylish!
Yeah, I guess so.
Here.
Thank you!
How's the deciphering going?
Take a look.
There seems to be more about the different Kuuga colors.
Like what?
28% Decrypted
Can't say yet.
Aw...
But, I think one of them might involve a sword.
Sword?
It mentioned cutting with a blade.
I see...
Well, try and do the rest as quickly as possible.
It could help with the fight against...
Excuse me for a moment.
Hello, this is Jounan University.
Jean? You're in Nagano already?
Tokyo Station, At the same time
I'm about to get on the Shinkansen but I forgot something important.
Huh? What is it?
I think I left some prepared umeboshi inside the fridge.
Ah, it's here.
Okay.
I'll have it sent along, then.
Okay, I got it.
Sorry about this. I can't eat dinner without that.
Thank you.
I'll be going then.
Excuse me.
You gotta take some pity on a poor gal that can't figure out how the rails work around here, right?!
Jean's going to Nagano?
Yeah.
He's going to research the piece that Mika had.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks for the food.
Thanks.
Pole Pole
Thank you for come by!
Thanks for coming.
Here you go. Thanks for helping out.
I appreciate it.
Let me repay you by showing you what I've been working on.
This is it!
This Week's Highlights Pole Pole
What is it?
Well, it's a scrapbook of newspaper clipping.
Amazing! You didn't miss a thing.
Well, after all, it's all about #4.
#4!
I'm pretty sure he's one of the good guys!
Is #4 A Bio-Weapon?
He doesn't target us and he kills his own kind who are doing wrong.
#4's Combat Instincts On Display
Red, blue, green. He can change into so many colors.
The mystifying attacks of #4 on his own kind
He's only going to get stronger, I think.
An Intense Battle The Dangerous Exception
How much stronger? I'm afraid, but I want to see.
That #4 is really something!
Special Scoop! Unidentified Life Form #4's Battle Instincts
No way! You got a two in math?!
Taito Ward
Shut up! What did you get then?
- In Math? A three. - Don't make such a fuss when you're practically on the same level!
It just shows how we're such close friends, I guess.
The kind of faces that make me want to kill...
Ruri! Are you okay?!
Special Scoop! Unidentified Life Form #4's Battle Instincts
Hey, that was fast.
It seemed like it was gonna take a while still, so I came back.
It's okay. I'll get it.
Hello? This is home of the authentic Oriental aroma and flavor...
You were looking at stories about me?
Yeah.
Oh! Oh, thanks for calling!
Y'know, it's been white, red, blue, and green so far...
And it seems like there's another color.
Wow, this is a great shot!
What is it?
It's been two months since you became Kuuga, hasn't it?
Yeah.
Have you become a fighting weapon now?
What?
Yusuke!
It's your handsome buddy in the overcoat.
Hello?
Oh, hi!
#21?
Right!
7th street in Asakusa? Got it!
I'm heading out!
Hey! You just got in!
Yusuke, it's your birthday!
Oh! Yeah!
We're celebrating tonight so hurry back!
As soon as I can!
Shinagawa Ward
Mr. Sakurai! Something's going on in Taito! Can you head there?
Can't, Mikado has picked up a trail!
I'm really sorry. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned having breakfast together.
Minato Ward
He was really looking forward to it, y'know.
Not really...
Come on, Sayuru, hold your mommy's hand.
No, grandma is better.
Well, do you want some ice cream? We can go to the place that was on TV.
You can have a double helping, to make up for it.
Really?
Of course you can!
Okay then!
All right!
Do you think something happened?
Can you believe it? An explosion.
How long are these unidentified things going to be a problem?
Let's go get the ice cream!
Well, look who decided to show up.
What are you doing here?
Let me do it!
Enough! You don't get to participate anymore.
Just let me do it!
Rules are rules.
What was that?
Another new location?
Right. In Daiba, over in Minato ward.
Yusuke Godai! I'm heading to the crime scene. What about you?
Right! I'll keep checking for any Unidentified Life Forms in the area!
2nd Crime Scene, Minato Ward
Ms. Enokida?!
Hi.
Where's your son?
He's with my mother.
I was in the area, and when I heard about the incident... so much for my holiday.
Here, take a look at this.
Ash?
But this color...
There's been a bit found on the bodies of all the victims.
Something about it bothers me.
They're probably near here!
Okay!
It's Ms. Minori!
Ms. Minori!
Wakaba Day Care, Toshima Ward
What's wrong, Ms. Minori? You're never here on Saturday!
You're not supposed to come by today!
I just decided to pop in. I didn't have anything to do.
I know what happened! You had a date that didn't go well!
If you're gonna say that...
Ah! Stop!
Teacher! Do you think #4 is a good guy?
#4?
The Unidentified Life Form?
That's obvious, isn't it?
It's a bad guy because, it's an Unidentified Life Form!
I wasn't asking you!
Hey, don't be rude!
Well, let's see...
Come on, tell us!
He's a good guy! The book my mom was reading said so!
It'd be great if he was a good guy.
And that he stays that way.
Okay, let's all go inside and practice juggling!
Yeah!
Let's go!
Arakawa Ward
You'll all have to suffer my ink.
Why you...
Transform!
Kuuga?!
Do you think you can take me, the silver assassin, Me-Giiga-Gi?
What is he?!
Time to die.
Hello!
Well, lately...
- Thanks for coming in. - No problem.
Go ahead and have some tea.
Thanks.
Is it okay for you to come in on your day off, though?
Yes. I felt kind of weird just spacing out on my own.
Oh... there it is again. Unidentified Life Forms.
[Unidentified Life Form Update. ]
Apparently there were three locations in the neighborhood where you could buy tsukudani.
Now, he had a reputation for being stubborn, and because of that....
There are reports of a fight between #4 and #21 in Minami-Senju in Arakawa. Caution is advised.
#4
#4's at it again.
If it's in Arakawa... we should be fine over here.
Calling all cars!
Mikado has located the Unidentified Life Form's base!
It's in Shinagawa!
I make a pillow out of my heavy luggage.
Omoi nimotsu wo makura ni shitara.
With a deep breath, I become one with the blue sky.
Shinkokyuu... aozora ni naru.
With eyes open or closed
Me wo akete 'te mo tsubutte mo.
I pass over the same scenes but
Onaji keshiki wa sugite yuku kedo
I just noticed something I couldn't miss.
Ima, mite 'nakucha... kizukenai.
Come on, follow me to a future with no more sadness.
Kimi wo tsurete yukou kanashimi no nai mirai made.
The only thing in my pocket is the smile on your face.
Kimi ga kureta egao dake poketto ni shimatte.
Boku wa... aozora ni naru.
I will become the blue sky.
I'm going to murder those Linto scum!
Give me the board!
What is this?!
I know!
A sword!
Sword?
There's still another type of Kuuga. This one uses a sword.
You're kind of scary. Yusuke...
It feels like you're turning into someone else.
Why did you become a teacher?
What?
Transform!
It's to make people smile, right?
Ferocity
