What's going on?
What's happening!?
Something's wrong...
The secret data's been accessed!
What is the meaning of this, Mary Katz?
All the secret stuff on the Abumisawa village...
All of it's been downloaded!
Even worse...
your I.D. number was used to
Believe it or not, not all researchers...
necessarily approve...
of the evil experiments being conducted here.
Not if you're human.
Why, you!
So you're betraying us, is that it? The Egregori?
But you're the leader of the project! How could you?
Sooner or later, the truth was bound to come out.
Today is that day.
The day those three boys entered Abumisawa Village...
the die was cast.
Since the day those three boys entered the village...
Arms has decided the fate of everything.
Will they defeat the battle cyborgs, this "Crimson Triad "...
and head for this church? After that...
Will they then grasp the truth?
Will God's will prevail?
Or will evil triumph after all?
What's wrong, Ryo Takatsuki?
You're the best prey I've hunted in a long time!
Stop hiding and come at me with all you've got!
He's got me pinned there's nothing I can do.
But if he's stupid enough to fall for my trap...
So there...
...you are!
"Arms" or not, I'll smash you back to nothing!
My Arms...being destroyed!
So Bee's "vacuum attack" is shut down...good.
Now it's my turn to attack.
Is it, now.
Ain't this all kinds of fun, kid?
Gettin' it on like this, it gives me su-u-uch a rush!
Little guy like me, feels like I'm flyin' or somethin'!
Shut your cakehole, you shapeshifting freak!
Show yourself!
You'll get a rush, too, kid, don't you worry.
I do my homework, see? And I know all about you.
There!
M-Mother...
You know I'm the enemy, yet still...
you don't dare hurt your ma's precious puss!
You humans are pathetic.
Why, you!
It's so quiet.
Wonder what's goin' on. Are they okay?
If it comes down to it...
I'll just have to bust on into that church alone.
Don't bother.
Without those three, we're as good as dead.
I'm still a cop, okay!?
Yeah, and we're still only human.
This is bigger than any case you've worked in your entire life.
Please, God...bring Ryo back to me.
Please!
Victory's mine, I'd say.
Accept death like a man! Like the soldier you are.
What, "soldier"? Soldiers have a choice!
But you are a soldier!
When you activate Arms, that's what you are!
Before any of us knew what was happening...
we got dragged into this nightmare of a world!
All we want is to go back to the way things were!
Ridiculous!
You're the one living in a fantasy!
Fantasy? How so? No! I'm going back!
I'm going back to reality. Back to Katsumi!
I am!
Please, God...Wherever you are.
The most recent data on those three Arms subjects...
has been sent to us by the head office...Cmdr. Keith Red.
Seeing as giving orders is all the top brass is usually good for...
it's nice to finally see them doing some work.
It's all in there, the Arms code names and specs.
First is Takeshi Tomoe. Code name: White Rabbit.
He has Arms that moves at lightning speed.
You're trembling, little boy.
You may be Arms, but you're also still human.
Allow me to demonstrate.
How we cyborgs know no fear.
So keep on shaking... all the way down to hell!
Maya...
Dad...
Mom!
My life...
it's flashing before my eyes!
No.
Not yet.
I don't WANT to die.
And when the White Rabbit awakens, he...
No!
What!? How can??
His legs instantly create a buoyancy chamber...
enabling him to leap as far as 300 meters.
To think... that Arms could do this!
As for Hayato Shingu's Arms... Code named: Knight...
Basically, what he's equipped with are fighting blades...
How dare you! Your own mother! In the face!!
You did the one thing you should never have done...
You can't even imagine...
how vividly the memory of my parents' death...
is burned into my brain.
The Arms is still transforming!?
Right before my eyes...
you Egregori bastards killed them.
Of all the Arms, the blades of the Knight are the most durable.
All you've managed to do... is really piss me off!
I gotta hand it t' ya, kid...
So here's a little present, from me t' you.
Hayato...save me! Save me, Hayato!
My mother is gone. She's dead.
Like I'd really fall for something like that.
Takeshi Tomoe's "White Rabbit. " Hayato Shingu's "Knight. "
And you, of course, are the Gryphon.
It's straight from the "Alice" books of Lewis Carroll.
In one of Carroll's poems, there is a character whose name...
has been left intriguingly undefined: Jabberwock.
That is the name which has been given to Ryo Takatsuki's Arms.
And Jabberwock...is the problem.
It's no good... I can't control my Arms!
It's transforming!
Jabberwock is especially full of surprises...as in, transformations.
You show your true self at last... Arms!
So it is my victory!
Your Arms is just one part of your body, that's all.
The rest of you, it's mere flesh!
No match for cyborg power, that's for sure.
No way...
I...
I am...
going back to reality!
Yet how can mere flesh command such power!?
Can it be...?!
Can Arms be not just one part, but spread thru his entire body!?
Jabberwock is so full of surprises, in fact...
that, as Arms, it can never be analyzed completely.
In truth, it's almost impossible to control.
Even with its army of scientists, the Egregori...
have concluded that it exceeds their capacity for understanding.
Just think of it.
A creature of infinite malleability...Jabberwock.
It's quite fascinating.
Sets my blood a' tingle, in fact.
This... This is it.
I'm going back...to Katsumi.
Ryo...!
Ryo! I'm so glad... So glad you're safe.
C'mon, what're we waitin' for. Let's bust in an' free the villagers.
Wait a sec.
Sure, we may have defeated the Crimson Triad...
but this is the enemy's base.
You're right.
We'd better proceed with caution.
Like wimps, you mean.
That's not what I said. I...
We've been waiting for you.
We had faith that someday you'd come here, you men of Arms.
I am Mary Katz...
the person in charge of the Abumisawa Experiment.
Inconceivable!
This is an ultra top secret Egregori test site!
How dare she allow those outsiders to?
That's a woman for you!
What about those villagers we're controlling?
Why aren't they protecting the area?
Sir, I...
My guess is, someone's bypassed the code...
and is jamming the frequency we broadcast on.
From here, there's not much we can do.
Then it can't be helped. Contact HQ...explain the situation.
Hey, where are you taking us?
Hurry and shut down those remote control sensors...
and free those people!
Please wait just a bit longer.
Those villagers are no longer being brainwashed, I assure you.
If they were, this church would have been surrounded, long ago.
I, uh...knew that.
To suppress the other faction, our team is working as we speak.
In order to fully liberate those enslaved villagers...
some of us however few have banded to oppose the Egregori.
As I mentioned earlier, we've been waiting for you.
It's a trap... Bet your life on it.
Strange... My Arms, it's tingling. A lot.
Who'dve thunk it?
A place this big, so far underground...?
I'll be opening the shutters now.
There's something here to which you, as Arms, must bear witness.
Yeah? And what's that.
Here, you will find the truth...
and also, evidence of our sins.
Truth...
and sins?
However painful, you must see...
if you're ever to face the future.
Attention, all troops: This is an emergency.
I, Keith Red, hereby assume direct control of this operation.
All units, head to the Abumisawa Experiment...immediately.
