Hello, this is Sawatari.
Jean...
Kurogatake Ruins Excavation Site, Nagano
Morning, Miss Sakurako.
Sorry for calling you so suddenly.
What? Did you run into a bear?
No. But these new shards we've found were engraved in an ancient text.
An ancient text?
Yes, I'll email you the images now.
It's probably the same as the one you've been studying.
The Linto text?
A era begins from zero on this empty planet.
Karappo no hoshi jidai wo zero kara hajimeyou
Legends will need to be repainted.

NO FEAR!
NO PAIN!
There is nothing that we need to fear!
Osoreru mono wa nani mo nai!
Even if I stand alone, I will overcome it all!

Those cookies ya made are good enough be added to the menu.
Pole Pole, Bunkyo Ward
So they're good?
Real good, like Uma Chiyoko.
You probably don't know her. Lemme explain...
She's an actress, she's cute and...
Nana, those cookies...
They're for Godai!
...Was I just the taster?
Godai!
What are you doing?
Look! The Kuuga mark got scratched, so I'm fixing it.
Kuuga?
Kuuga.
The people who are good at baseball and volleyball?
That's Cuba.
Anyhow, could you please eat these?
Oh! Cookies!
Let's try some.
Please!
They're good!
Really?
Yup! Theve vreaffy lummy!
Huh?
Question
Can I give some to Miss Sakurako?
Miss Sakurako?
Yeah.
This case concerns the Unidentified Life Forms.
Metropolitan Police Joint Investigation Task Force HQ
We will investigate this further with help from Headquarters' reinforcements.
This should be approved very shortly.
In order for this case to be solved without further casualties,
I'm sure many of our citizens and researchers will give their support.
Brief us on the current situation, Ichijou.
Yes, sir.
During the incident with #21, a special gas bomb was used against the enemy's base, which seemed to have an effect.
We have requested that Police Headquarters put more resources into developing more effective weaponry.
This is the content of that special gas bomb, which has been increased 200-fold and inserted into a special plastic bullet.
If this bullet exploded in the enemy's body, the poison would rapidly affect the underlying tissue and damage the cells.
It might not kill the enemy, but it should leave them paralyzed, allowing us to capture them.
And once we capture one, we can find out their weaknesses!
The casualties in this case are increasing.
We don't know what will happen next.
But let's all do our best.
Yes, sir!
Where's the new board?
The Game continues.
That's about one hundred and eighty.
One hundred and eighty of them.
180 of them in just two days?
When...
When will I...?
You're out of The Game.
That's to say. You've been left behind.
Here you go!
Jounan University Archeology Department
Thank you!
Are you writing about the shards that Jean dug up?
No, this is going to be the official revised thesis about the occurrence of the ancient text
If we don't hurry, we'll miss the submission deadline.
What about the decoding?
Yes, we're doing that.
We're doing it but...
Don't!
Done.
Just now I was referring to this.
You did it! What does it say?
It says: From now onward,
I wish I could split in two...
Two, huh?
Excuse me!
Oh.
Mr. Ichijou!
Actually, the investigation order has been approved.
So we'll be needing to take a more active part in the investigation.
Ah.
Can I take a look at the new data you've received?
Of course, this way.
These are... tattoos.
I don't know if this is a traditional drawing or symbol but let's leave it to the professional.
I have a question...
Where is that second body?
Miss Sakurako redid her thesis with new information from the shards.
She was pretty busy!
My apologies.
It's all right.
I'll do my best somehow.
Arakawa River, Koto Ward
Did we just hit something?
I'll go take a look.
What wrong?
Did you see who did this?
Wait a minute. Did you do this?
What a coincidence!
Let me introduce you, this is Miss Reiko Minamori.
Nice to meet you, my name is Ichijou.
Don't think she's my new girlfriend!
Of course not.
In any case, it doesn't concern you.
You shouldn't poke your nose in someone else's business. Take a break once in a while.
Yes?
Ichijou, it's Sugita.
Don't get scared now.
What is it?!
We've captured a possible Unidentified Life Form.
What?!
It'll be sent here soon.
I'm returning at once!
See you!
As usual, he's a busy guy.
Are you still insisting you're an Unidentified Life Form?
Police Department Investigation Room
Say something.
Why did you act like you were an Unidentified Life Form.
I never said that.
They asked me if I was an Unidentified Life Form.
I said I didn't know.
I see.
So it's definitely not true.
You're a really troublesome guy.
I never said it wasn't true.
What?
If it were true, what would you do?
You're messing with me, right?
Right?!
You're just another foolish human!
What's wrong with the Unidentified Life Forms?
You're all just worthless and polluting the planet anyway.
Say that again!
Who the hell is worthless?
Why were you carrying something like this?
Mr. Sugita, Mr. Ichijou.
What's wrong?
Turns out this guy is innocent.
We found out his name by checking his license plate.
His name is Junichi Chouno.
He's unemployed and he keeps getting fired from every place that hires him.
If an Unidentified Life Form were to disguise himself as Chouno...
...and turn himself in to the police with some ulterior motive, what would you do?
With his superior intellect, he'd be smarter than all of you.
Jounan University Archeology Department
It might be for you.
Incoming Call Ichijou
Mr. Ichijou.
Hello, it's me!
Could you please meet me?
I'll wait for you at Kanto Medical.
Okay, got it!
Shibuya Ward
Even though it's crowded, I'm certain you'll love this place.
Really?
Yep.
I'm sorry but there's someone I need you to meet.
It's that jerk from before...
Mr. Ichijou.
Kanto Medical University Hospital
Sorry for calling you here out of the blue. I want to discuss that premonition of yours.
Ichijou!
Sorry!
You'll pay for that!
I know!
What was that about?
This and that.
At first glance, he appears to be a normal human.
We can't find any evidence of him being Unidentified Life Form.
But why does this Chouno guy... want to be an Unidentified Life Form so badly?
He's lost his faith in mankind. That's probably the reason.
That's why he had this knife.
Losing faith in mankind, huh?
Wait a second...
What's wrong?
Hmm. I think I should check this guy out a bit more.
Arakawa River, Urawa
They're not gonna bite, are they?
You got one!
Ouch!
Better luck next time.
Ouch!
Damn, this hurts!
Is he sick?
Kanto Medical University Hospital
Junichi Chouno?
Yeah.
I don't know the details but you can clearly see it here.
So, it's serious?
Pretty much.
What should we do?
Once he wakes up, I'm going to check him again. I already have his consent.
Yes?
I see.
Thanks. Gimme a sec.
Ichijou.
Oh.
Yes?
Really? I got it.
#23 has appeared.
Let's go!
Jounan University Archeology Department
Hello, this is Sawatari.
Oh Jean!
I'm sorry. I still haven't deciphered it yet.
No! No! No! I've found something mysterious.
Kurogatake Ruins Excavation Site
How can I describe it? It's completely different from the pieces we've found up to now.
This'll be the seventy-second.
Are you okay?
Transform!
What is this, Jean?
I have no idea.
I couldn't begin to guess.
What was that just now?
What WAS that?
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.
When I fought #23, an image just came flooding into my head.
Pathetic. This is unbecoming after all your posturing.
You should think long and hard about the meaning of death.
Transform!
If only I could become an Unidentified Life Form...
An Unidentified Life Form would understand what I'm trying to say.
They're like me, so they'd understand me better than any human could.
I am...
Prey.
Omen
