With the upturning of the ancient hourglass...
time, which had stopped for so long, began to flow.
Program Jabberwock...
is now unstoppable.
Since the Forbidden Fruit...
of the Tree of Knowledge was first tasted, it has been destined.
Those who've prospered...
upon this planet, this "humanity"...
their fate is soon to be decided.
Will it be...Progress?
Or will it be...Destruction?
Gauss Gall just breathed his last.
He aged so suddenly...
Takatsuki, can you hear me...?
Yes.
But...what IS all this?
Their bodies were most likely cloned.
Using their own DNA, they were grown at an accelerated rate...
featuring special skills and talents, genetically configured.
But it turns out they're defective!
Cloning the perfect human being is no easy feat.
But they didn't know, right?
Their own limitations?
In other words, to the Egregori, even the Red Caps were disposable.
Damn them and their evil ways.
I can't stand it.
Yugo...
Yugo...!
Are you hurt? Does it hurt? Are you okay?!
I'm fine, Carol.
Doesn't look like you're fine.
Neither do you.
Hey-y-y...!
Takeshi!
Thank God that you're all...
Hey, all.
...Back to the news.
To all Tokyo Aisora City citizens...
the electrical interference, whose cause is still unknown...
has cleared, and broadcast resumes...
That's good to hear.
So! shall we head to the stadium, too?
I don't get it...!
They grew old so quickly...
How the hell do I write that up?!
That part's easy.
You don't write any of it up.
C'mon, stand up. We won!
And you were able to protect the city.
You "Ally of Justice," you.
Wait up...!
At this time, nothing more is known...
I don't want any more innocent victims because of "Arms."
And so...let's hurry out of here.
Let's take the fight to the Egregori personally...!
What th'...?
That's...
They're not with us!
This...vibration...!
It can't be...!
No...
No! It's impossible!
No freakin' way!
Keith went down, by me and Knight!
K-Keiths... Four of them!!
Ryo...!
Ryo...
Katsumi!
Why? How?!
Ryo...!
Katsumi...!
At last...we're together.
I... I'm all right.
The one thing, that's most important...
I had to tell you.
Ryo...
I...
I've...
always loved you.
Always...I've loved you.
Katsumi...
We'll meet again...we will.
I know it.
Ryo...!!
What the hell was that?!
And what are they thinking...?
Takatsuki...
Ryo...
Mom... I'm okay.
Katsumi...
Katsumi is alive.
That means we'll meet again.
I'll go meet her.
I'll find her, no matter what.
And then...
We'll come back together.
Back to the everyday life we had.
Kei...
Li!
We've got word from our Boss.
He wants to meet with you "Arms," right away.
Seems he has intel on Katsumi, too.
Katsumi...
From darkest chaos emerges a droplet...
freeing itself from the barriers within.
If we go against the Laws of Nature...
the great river of eternity, which flows uninterrupted...
shall not become stagnant.
One's destiny is determined through all eternity.
Though Man is Lord of All Creation...
the sadness lies in whether we are or are not worth it.
Come, ye originals.
And then...
Keith...had four more of him.
I am not the one who killed your father.
Was this what he meant...?
So, Kei...
What kind of man is this boss of yours?
I'm not sure myself.
Huh?
As for Blue, only Li and a few others actually get to see him.
So really, it's a first for me, too.
Once you meet, you'll understand.
Anything and everything.
Vibrations...?
Yeah, but really weak.
Welcome, and thanks for coming...
Children of "Arms."
How I've anticipated this moment.
I am the founder and leader of the Blue Men...
Keith Blue.
Keith Red, whom you destroyed.
And the four Keiths who appeared to you earlier.
They and I, too are clones, born of the same genes...
the "Keith Series."
"Keith...Series," you say?!
Yes. We Keith Series were the very first model...
in which the application of "Arms" implantation was realized.
However...
As you can see...
in the case of myself, it didn't take.
This delimiter suppresses the effects of my "Arms" and...
somehow, manages to keep me alive.
You saw the same effect in action back in Abumisawa Village.
In order to keep pace with Egregori technology...
I stole data from them, relating to the original "Arms"...
and to those who had been implanted with "Arms."
Countless experiments...and many sacrifices later...
at last, four "Arms" were born.
You are that four.
Hayato!
What you've done...
we're just supposed to forget?!
Sacrificing people's lives for your own stupid experiments...?!
If you're to kill me, so be it.
I am prepared.
The Egregori's goal is the creation of a new, superior race...
one which will rule the world.
That is the reason for their actions...
and you four "Arms" provide the key to that plan.
You four "Arms" are also the only ones who can stop them.
I would have you destroy those four who call themselves "Keith."
Look at this...
This image was sent to us a short while ago by the Egregori.
Katsumi...!
Katsumi Akagi was kidnapped by the Egregori in Abumisawa, probably.
At this time, there's little reason for them to hurt her in any way.
Jabberwock...it's you they mean to lure.
They brought her before you so that you would know she still lives.
This image was sent to let you know they've returned to Arizona...
and that, Takatsuki, they await you there...or so I interpret the message.
They know I'm speaking with you now, at this very moment.
Damn! Then it's a trap.
No doubt.
They're counting on the fact that you and Katsumi are in love.
What they told her...
is most likely that they're "just researching" the "nature of 'Arms"'...
and, if she went with them willingly...
she would be able to learn the fate which lies ahead...
for you and her friends.
And this has been planned to lure you to her side...as you go to rescue her.
I'm going. Even so, I will!
Going to Katsumi!
I...uh...
Kei Kuruma...
From this moment on, you are released from Blue Men service.
Now go.
There! See? Just like I said.
What. Like where would you be without me.
It's all about you.
Shut up!
Hey, whoa, you guys.
Well... Shall we?
Ryo...
It's almost ready.
I want you to eat a hearty breakfast.
I will. Thanks.
Mom, I...
I'm coming back, no matter what.
I know, Ryo. And I'll be waiting.
You give 'em hell.
So you're going as well, eh?
Yes.
Please look after Carol.
'Course.
Finally, my brother and comrades can rest in peace.
Isn't it nice, Carol?
You can stay here, with Juzo.
Now listen, okay?
For Juzo's sake, and your own, no more using your powers.
Be happy...it's the start of a new life.
Yugo... Yugo, you come back... Come back alive!
Promise me!!
I promise.
Stupid!
No calling the genius "stupid"!
I call you stupid 'cause you are stupid!
How we gonna bring along a kid?
For this journey...
we'll be walking straight into the enemy base camp!
I know that, even better'n you!
Further, I know that this enemy...
is a powerful organization no one can touch.
Without me, you're dead in the water!
Shut up!
"No" means "no"...!
You're staying here, to look after the Old Man for me.
Not a chance.
I... I've still got something to do.
If you're even thinking of avenging your brother's death...
then you're reeeally gonna piss me off.
But I'm not thinking that!!
Don't you dare lump me in with idiots like yourself!!
What?!
It's like...like I killed Jeff myself.
That's why...I need to fight them.
For my own sake.
Fine, geez! do what you want.
Knight, you told me that, someday...
the time might come to kill both Jabberwock and Takatsuki. But...
still, I mean to protect him!
We...We're comrades.
Dad...?
Mom...?
Maya...?
Thank you for everything.
I'm heading out, as of today.
I've caused you so much trouble, I'm so sorry.
Takeshi...
There's something I need to tell you.
Please let me.
The man who left you in my care...
was a close friend who also chose to walk the path of medicine.
We'd lost touch with one another...
when, one day, he just showed up.
He had a baby strapped to his chest.
Please...
I would leave this child with you, my only friend.
A frightening and harsh fate awaits...
He'll grow up and one day leave you.
Until then, please...please care for him.
I tried asking him what he meant...
but he didn't tell me anything else.
He mentioned living in Abumisawa Village...
And...that man?
Attacked and killed, party unknown.
There was a small article in the paper.
I didn't do a thing for you.
I knew how you suffered inside...
and still, I couldn't help you...
That's not true!
You, Dad...and Mom, and Maya... you've all done so much for me!
Brother...
Besides, listening now has made me realize something...
This journey is a chance, with my own strength, to discover myself...
about who I am...why I was born.
Takeshi, remember one thing...
You are a member of this family.
When it's time to come home, here's where you come back to.
Dad...
I will always wait for you.
Brother...!
Maya...
Brother...
Have a good trip.
Thanks, I'm off.
When did it all start...?
I feel I've always sought the answer.
Ryo!
'Morning!!
In the same class again, woo hoo!
You think?
Well! You're no fun.
I'm glad, really.
Too late.
So, didja hear? Guess what Takako did. She...
What?!
White tailed swifts...
That's right.
We'll fly, too.
All of us...
of our own free will...
we'll fly away from here...
away to a new...
a new beginning!
To the future.
