Another Amazon?
How many are there?
Better to not act till we know what’s going on.
Damn, what's going on?
Why the hell are there so many Amazons?
That’s strange.
I can’t get the ID codes for the two unidentified ones.
What?
They don’t have bracelets.
That’s unheard-of.
Then what’s Ryusuke’s ID code and rank?
B.
Ryusuke...
Ryusuke!
Ryusuke.
Don’t tell me.
You haven’t eaten?
You won’t last much longer at this rate.
Don’t move!
Are you guys test subjects?
Why aren’t you wearing bracelets?
Answer the question!
It looks like he’s still in control of himself.
If that’s the case,
we can capture him instead.
It’s better for us to exterminate him, right?
Otaki!
Otaki, so you were an Amazon, too?
Mamoru!
Otaki.
Stop!
Shido!
-Stop it! -Ryusuke, don’t you recognize us?
Hold it!
Oh, yeah!
Ryusuke!
Damn it! Go after Ryusuke!
Investigation Team! Investigation Team!
Follow the truck that got away.
-Its number is... -Otaki’s part of the team...
Why did he...
Who knows?
But it’s not your fault, Mamo. Got it?
I can’t believe that Ryusuke attacked us.
The ID emitter is around here somewhere.
Shido.
He got away.
I see.
It makes sense that he would know that the bracelet is the emitter.
It’s only a matter of time
before he starts feeding.
Well,
I know we’re not allowed to ask.
But I think it’s time we know what these bugs...
Or rather...
What exactly are Amazons?
I would also like to know.
Now more than ever.
For now, let’s head back.
Why?
I thought I’d be fine.
That everything would work out just like it did for Mamoru.
All I ever wanted
was to live my life as a human.
Is being exterminated my only option?
But...
If they’re the ones to do it...
We’ve already received footage of the two unidentified Amazons.
Of course, the Chief’s seen it as well.
Then tell us what the Amazons are, right now!
Can’t you just keep exterminating them
like you’ve been doing without asking any questions?
Like hell we can!
One of them is our friend!
Don’t tell us you already knew?
No, how could we?
The emitter in the bracelet
is an alarm that goes off once someone becomes an Amazon.
Otherwise, it stays off.
Then that means we can’t track them once it’s been removed?
We’ll just have to search for them on foot, but for now, talk!
All right then.
In light of this situation,
the Chief has decided that it’s necessary to give you some level of explanation.
I’ve been the one appointed to explain things to you.
Damn it,
you’ve been playing coy with us this whole time.
Look who it is.
Oh, Mizuki, what are you doing?
What’s with the strap?
-Was it a present? -You didn’t make it yourself, right?
-You know what’ll happen if you rat on us. -Bye-bye. Ugly.
What is it?
Mother,
I was wondering if Haruka made it home.
No, not yet.
Something must’ve happened.
Haruka’s never gone outside before.
-We should call the police. -Calm down
and listen to what I’m about to say.
Haruka’s not home yet, but a company employee found him.
What?
However, he’s not well and has been hospitalized at the lab for the moment.
There’s no need for you to worry. Just focus on your schoolwork.
Understand?
Yes.
There’s still time
before he fully awakens.
But we can’t keep it dormant
any longer.
Amazon cells?
It’s just a nickname.
It’s actually a virus-sized artificial life-form that our company created.
It’s not very advanced and mostly consists of protein.
It’s favorite food is human cells.
Did you say...
human cells?
Yes. You could call them
man-eating cells.
The ones that grow into humanoid forms are the test subject Amazons.
You refer to them as "bugs."
As the result of an accident that occurred two years ago at our lab,
many of the test subjects have now escaped into the city.
Do you remember why you’re here?
Why...
did I do that?
Why, you ask?
Because you’re an Amazon, obviously.
Amazon?
Don’t tell me...
You don’t know about what you are?
What do you mean?
What’s an Amazon?
Oh, man...
Aren’t you full of surprises.
And here I thought I could pump you for information.
Why did I even bother to drag you back here?
What are you talking about?
-Just who are-- -Now, now.
I’ll just put it in layman’s terms. You are--
It’s ready.
Jin, the bowls.
Yes, babe.
Oh, that smells so good!
Nanaha, your food’s the best!
Eat this for now. Here.
Thanks.
Hot, hot, hot.
Here, go ahead and eat.
It’s full of the protein we need.
-Protein? -Yeah.
Here.
Listen,
you and I are harboring cells inside us called
Amazon cells
that constantly devour human protein.
Mmm, good.
Haven’t you ever wanted to eat someone?
Of course not.
I see.
You must’ve had that controlled for you then.
But you weren’t wearing a bracelet.
Were you taking any meds?
Meds...
They were shots.
That makes sense.
You’re an obedient one.
That bracelet works just like your shots.
It automatically injects you with drugs.
When the drugs run out, you become an Amazon and focus solely on food.
Food?
Eating humans.
Once the Amazon cells awaken, the drugs no longer work.
Control is lost forever.
-But since we caught you in time-- -Jin...
The chickens.
Yes, babe.
You’re in luck. You get to have chicken stew with us tonight.
Huh? Isn’t that your pet?
What are you talking about?
I bought them to eat them.
Even before becoming an Amazon, I’ve only eaten things I killed myself.
Oh, but I’ve never eaten any humans.
Gonna puke? Then do it in the garden, it’ll fertilize it.
Spread it all over.
The effect of the bracelets worn by the test subjects lasts for two years.
In other words, it’s been two years since the accident,
and the drugs are wearing off,
causing them to awaken and feed on people.
You bastard, how can you be so cold?
This is a complete disaster!
So you created this team just to help in your cover-up.
But,
if we went public, there’d be mass panic.
People might think their neighbors were monsters,
made of human-devouring cells.
Just how many are there?
Around four thousand.
What?
The rate at which the drugs run out is different for each person.
So, luckily, they won’t all awaken at the same time.
So Ryusuke’s time is up?
Apparently.
RYUSUKE
Ryusuke.
Shido.
Ryusuke!
Mako, I’m sorry.
The truth is, I’m an Amazon.
Yeah, that’s fine. Enough about that.
You’re okay, right?
Where are you? Tell us!
Ryusuke!
Mako,
Ryusuke’s still himself!
Maybe he can be like Mamoru!
Yeah, Ryusuke!
That isn’t possible.
Once the Amazon cells awaken, they can never be controlled.
Not even with a bracelet.
-Ryusuke! -Ryu!
-Ryusuke! -Otaki!
Where are you?
-Otaki! -Ryu!
Shido...
I found him.
Let's go.
But we still don’t know anything about the green and red Amazons.
Let them go for now.
Jin.
Yep. Yep.
Oh, looks like they’ve found another test subject.
Oh, right, why don’t you tag along?
Huh?
Amazon hunting.
I left out the most important part.
My goal is to destroy every last one of the Amazons.
Of course, that includes you, too.
Destroy?
It’s an extermination.
But...
you haven’t eaten anyone yet.
So, if you cooperate, I’ll hold off on you.
Cooperate?
-You mean, with the test subjects? -Yeah.
Kill, kill, and keep on killing.
If you don’t like it, then let yourself be exterminated.
You'll never hurt anyone.
You won’t get your hands dirty.
It may be a gentle way to live,
but it’ll be a life without purpose.
Well, think it over.
It’s cold.
What will you do?
Jin’s a man of his word, you know.
If I’m going...
to eat somebody one day,
then being exterminated before that happens...
Damn it all.
You’re...
the same kind of Amazon as Jin, but you’re completely different.
If Jin is wild,
then you’re...
domesticated.
I bet you don’t even get your own food.
I’m with Jin because I empathize with his way of living.
Not that I think there’s anything wrong with living peacefully.
And yet,
at this rate, you’ll die soon.
This is the same one that Jin uses.
Since there’s two, you can have this one.
It’ll make you stronger.
Hey, Fuku, what’s wrong?
When we get there,
are we going to...
exterminate Otaki?
Just go.
Up till now,
I thought...
these bugs were nothing more than pests.
But Otaki...
isn't one of them.
He’s been with us for two full years.
Why aren’t they coming?
I’ve reached my limit.
Hurry up.
Guys.
I want to eat.
Your exterminator uniform is crying out.
I’m...
hungry.
I see.
But I can’t let you eat me.
Amazon.
Alpha.
Get going!
Why did you guys join the Extermination Team?
For the sake of the world and mankind?
Of course not.
We’re in it for the money.
Myself included.
Kazuya and Nozomi, too.
Jun as well.
And now that
the target is one of our friends, you all are having second thoughts.
It’s our job to exterminate them.
And that's...
more than enough reason to exterminate Ryusuke.
Even if you don’t get your own food,
at least try putting up a fight.
You have to...
live your life relying on...
your own power.
It’s that Amazon,
again.
As long as he doesn’t come after us, let him be.
Use everything you’ve got
on Ryusuke.
We’re going bug hunting!
You’ll never hurt anyone.
You won’t get your hands dirty.
It may be a gentle way to live,
but it’ll be a life without purpose.
That thing...
That thing I always see...
It’s me.
The real me.
Ryusuke!
Jun...
I’m sorry, Ryusuke.
I can’t let you go.
-Jun! -Hey, Jun!
I don’t mind being eaten,
as long as it’s you.
I'm going to eat you.
Otaki!
Omega.
Amazon!
Kazuya.
Mamo!
Stay on it!
So eating makes him stronger.
Another new Amazon.
That belt...
Nanaha.
Violent punish.
Interesting.
Come get some.
Maehara!
The future of this company depends on the Amazon cells!
It’s an Amazon hive.
I see. So he bared his fangs at you.
Eat them before they eat you.
