Please watch in a well lit room, and sit away from the screen.
What was that just now?
Godai!
This again...
Godai, are you all right?
I'm just bleeding a little.
A era begins from zero on this empty planet.

Thank goodness.
I was kind of worried.
While I was fighting with #23, all of the sudden, an image came flooding into my head.
All of a sudden?
Yes.
I can't explain it clearly, but it was similar to the first time I saw the belt.
If it hurts, I could examine you more thoroughly?
Nah, it didn't feel that bad. It's okay.
The bodies of the new victims have arrived. Please perform an autopsy.
The number of people who've been attacked is increasing.
For now, we need to find some way of combating that thing.
I'll do my best.
Ummm, would it be all right if I go see Chouno?
Chouno? What for?
I don't know. For some reason, I want to meet him.
Oh really? He should be in Room 235.
Room 235.
He's still under from the anesthetic though.
Got it.
Omen
I guess this is a case of fighting fire with fire?
Another food tasting?
Of course!
Because Godai won't eat food he unsure about.
Pole Pole, Bunkyo Ward
So try it!
First cookies then donuts. What's going on here?
This one... it's no good. It tastes awful!
This one tastes worse than Everest. No, worse than Chomolungma.
Really?
Bah! In that case, you can have them all, Uncle.
Hey! You're not supposed to lie, Uncle!
I'm already eating them all!
They're all mine now!
Delicious!

Hello, this is Sawatari.
Jean?
Miss Sakurako, did I scare you again by calling you out of the blue?
Kurogatake Ruins Excavation Site, Nagano
What's wrong? Did a bear really appear this time?
No. No. No. Nothing like that.
I don't know why but all the new shards we've found assembled themselves into this mass.
What?
The rest of the shards are the same as always, though.
Anyway, this is without the ones we've given you for the Task Force's investigation, of course.
The victim's name is Genba Koji from Arakawa ward.
Kanto Medical University Hospital
These wounds were caused by bites.
So he was bitten?
Yes, over a hundred times in total.
What about this wound?
This is the only one not caused by #23
It seems that he somehow got injured.
Detective Ichijou, you have a phone call waiting at the nurse center.
We've found something interesting.
What is it?
We checked the spot where #23 attacked the workers but...
We've found evidence that before #23 came here, he had attacked people fishing nearby.
Apparently he suddenly changed his mind and targeted the worker instead.
That worker had injured his arm before the attack.
What if...
Pathetic...
This is unbecoming after all your posturing.
It seems like you're done!
It's not over yet!
Let's get started then.
Reversing.
She wore Blue Velvet
Reversing.
Bluer than velvet was the night
Reversing.
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars...
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Kanto Medical University Hospital
You woke up?
Ah!
I'm that detective's friend.
See?
What are you looking for?
Can I ask you something?
Why do you admire the Unidentified Life Forms?
I'm not wrong, am I?
What do you think you know about me?
Not just you. There's no one who understands how I feel. No one.
Isn't that normal?
Nobody can really know someone else's feelings.
But it's still possible to get along.
I don't need sentiment like that.
Chouno, are you still alive?
If you are still alive, then you should enjoy yourself while you're alive.
Is that wrong?
You don't understand at all.
What are you doing?
It would be a bother if you left now.
Godai.
Sure.
The smell of blood?
Yes.
From the various incidents, we've deduced that #23 is attracted by the smell of blood, so we should use that as bait.
The Science Division has already prepared some artificial blood.
We will set traps and leave artificial blood around his trail in Arakawa ward.
Once he takes the bait, you move in.
Okay.
The results are in for your physical.
You know, if you keep ignoring your illness, it'll cost you your life.
Doesn't matter. I'm not afraid to die.
It's part of being a damn human.
What?
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.
You...
Dying...
Are you afraid of it?
Come with me.
Let me show you something.
What do you think?
This a corpse.
His brain can no longer entertain nonsensical theories or fantasies.
That is death.
Sooner or later you'll die.
I will die sooner or later too.
How you make use of your remaining time is all up to you.
I would never allow one of these Unidentified Life Form to come and end the lives of human!
I got this from Ichijou.
It's yours, isn't it?
You should think long and hard about the meaning of death.
How you use this... is all up to you.
Kurogatake Ruins Excavation Site
I'll leave this with you then.
I'll take full responsibility for it, and deliver it safely to Tokyo.
Please do.
Excuse me, do you mind if I hitch a ride with you?
In the police car? No way!
This is something very important. So I want to help look after it!
Is that okay?
But if anything were to happen...
It's better to have the specialists with you then.
Understood.
Thank you!
I'm counting on you.
Are you sure you'll be all right all alone?
Arakawa River, Koto Ward
I'll be fine. The coast guard will be backing me up. We should make it on time!
Central Motorway, Suwa S.A.
Let's take a 10 minute rest stop.
I'll be staying here.
We're counting on you.
Understood.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Regarding the appearance of Unidentified Life Form #23...
The police's Joint Investigation Task Force has begun hunting down the target.
In further news, in Arakawa...
What, it's an Unidentified Life Form?
Sir, this way seems to be blocked. We'll need to turn back.
No, I'll be fine here.
Jounan University Archeology Department
This is...
Take on the form of the beetle
...the outline of a bug.
What could it mean?
Central Motorway, Suwa S.A.
Kameyama, here you go.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Watch your back.
Mr. Kameyama, behind you...
Eh?
It's that feeling again.
Oh my god.
Yes?
Kameyama?
Mr. Ichijou, while delivering the relics... the containers suddenly flew up into the sky... and disappeared.
Calm down!
Transform!
I am...
Prey.
Godai!
Mr. Ichijou!
This guy just saved me?
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.

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.
I will become the blue sky.
Boku wa... aozora ni naru.
Police in various places have reported similar sightings.
If it's like the Unidentified Life Forms, won't it attack us?
It kind of looks like an insect just flying around.
I don't think we can meet tomorrow. I'm sorry.
It may be his birthday today, but it's also a death anniversary.

Let's continue, Kuuga!
