All there is, is life or death.
And to live means to eat another’s life.
Eating to stay alive.
In that sense, it’s the same thing.
Every single being here.
You must understand the reality a little better now.
These are the Amazons of which 4,000 now lurk in the city.
AMAZON RIDERS
Nozama Pharmacy Research Lab
After this, don’t forget to take an MRI and collect skin samples.
Hand the belt over to the Analysis Team.
Yes, ma’am.
EPISODE 5 EYES IN THE DARK
By the way, Chief Tachibana
requested that you share the data from the belt and the Amazon cells.
He said he needs the information beforehand because, since he’s in sales,
he’s the one that has to win back the money for the budget we’re using.
Sounds just like something he’d say.
Does he think Amazon cells can still be good business,
even after seeing the reality of the test subjects?
He’s thinking about it with the belt included.
Because that belt markedly boosts the combat ability of the Amazons.
Omega.
Combat ability...
In other words, he wants to sell them as weapons.
I see.
But that’s not the real potential of the Amazon cells.
What do you mean?
Jin Takayama is one of those potentials.
And so is Haruka.
Did you tell the Extermination Team?
I told them to bring Haruka back here.
But will Haruka consent to this?
Being taken here and there as we decide?
He’s fine.
He doesn’t know what to do unless we tell him.
He’s like a newborn baby.
INOUE BLDG. 2
Hot.
Hey. That Haruka kid...
is still by the river. Is that okay?
Huh? I told him to go home.
He probably lost his way.
He’s the darling son, right?
You have to get him home safely.
The chief can throw a nasty fit.
Damn it.
We can make better money if that green Amazon stays, though.
Yeah.
But Mako seems more than happy to give him back.
Why?
No clue.
He’s too dangerous.
That’s what he said.
Well, yeah.
He is an Amazon.
Going back to Mother...
means going back to living in that room.
That means...
Hey.
What are you doing?
Hurry up and go home.
Yes.
You’ve got a home, right?
I’m surprised that you’re the chief’s son, though.
I was adopted.
Is Mamoru okay?
Yeah. He’s being treated at the research lab.
Look, Mamoru.
We brought you some snacks. You like these, right?
See? Look.
We won’t do any shots today, okay?
Come on, Mamoru.
You’ll go back to your team once you're cured, okay?
Leave me alone!
Mamoru, don’t cry.
What about Jin?
I heard they’re gathering data.
I’m sure they won’t kill him.
I see.
All right? Then go home.
Why?
Huh?
You seem like you want to get rid of me, too.
Is it because I’m an Amazon?
So is Mamoru.
It made me wonder why.
You want to stay?
Huh?
Do you have any reason to join the Extermination Team and hunt down bugs?
I...
Mamoru has his reasons. He likes the team and he likes to eat.
The others want money, even if it means risking their lives.
It’s simple enough.
That’s why I can trust them.
But you don’t know what you’re fighting for.
How can I trust a guy like that to watch my back?
Go home.
Or else you’ll get us in trouble.
Okay.
He seems normal when he’s like that...
Haruka?
Haruka!
Mizuki. Welcome back.
I didn’t know you were coming home. Are you okay now?
You were hospitalized, right?
I wanted to go visit you, but Mother wouldn’t let me.
So that’s what she’d been told.
Are you okay?
Are you still not well?
No, I’m fine.
I’m glad you came back early.
I wasn’t sure if I was feeding them right.
You cared for them? Thanks.
The Greatest Nature Aquarium
You know how you once told me...
that this place might be your aquarium.
I feel the same way, too.
I’m glad you’re back, Haruka.
No.
I didn’t come back.
Haruka?
Haruka, what do you mean?
What is this, where are you going?
Sorry. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.
But...
Haruka!
What happened?
If you carry this for me, I’ll buy you something to eat.
Nanaha.
HANAMARU
I see. So Jin is at Nozama Pharmacy.
They said they were just examining him,
so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.
Could you get that bowl and plate?
So? You were driven away from the Extermination Team
but don’t want to go home?
It’s not that I don’t want to.
It just doesn’t feel right.
Animals that have bared their fangs once
can never be the same again.
Even if it was an obedient pet.
I keep getting denied.
I wanted to prove I was human.
To Jin, Shido,
and even myself.
The more I fight...
It felt so good.
Was that the real me?
Or a different me inside of me?
I don’t know, myself.
I see.
The problem then, is what to do about it.
What you want to do.
Here. Eat this and sleep for today.
Something must’ve happened to Haruka.
I’m going to go to the research lab tomorrow.
He might’ve gone back there.
Departing.
What is this feeling?
Extermination Team.
We’ve detected an ID code reaction.
Shido, Extermination Team, on the move.
Forgive me. The ID code reaction has disappeared.
What?
What, a mistake?
No. Actually, there was a weak signal right before that.
It disappeared at the same place.
I thought it was a false alarm then, but...
What do you mean, it disappeared?
I checked, and it seems like it’s in a tunnel where the signals are weak.
A Rank B, huh?
Mako, this might be tough without Mamo.
You drove the green Amazon away, too.
He’s not dangerous. You’re just too scared.
Shut up.
Fuku. Let’s head there for now.
I can tell. There’s an Amazon there.
What’s he doing here?
Fuku.
Hey.
Shido.
That bus driver is probably a test subject.
Hey.
Sorry, but we need you to step out of that bus.
Did you not hear him?
Nozomi.
Hello there.
There’s a possibility that a dangerous object is stowed away on this bus.
So could all passengers please get off now?
Sorry, thank you.
Careful there. Go on.
Watch your step.
I told you to get off.
Hey. You can at least answer.
Amazon!
Omega.
Hey, wait!
What about me?
Hey! What’s the meaning of this?
Stop the bus!
Hey!
Shido, he has an armband. He really is a test subject.
Why did you get in my way?
I was so close.
Back up the green Amazon.
Where to?
To Nozama Pharmacy Research Lab, please.
Shido, Extermination Team.
The bug? It’s right in front of me now.
That can’t be. We just detected another weak ID code signal.
What?
What’s going on?
Maybe I should just go home.
Violent Punish.
It’s still blue.
That can’t be.
So this test subject hadn’t fully awakened yet.
Then the first signal we picked up...
Mako, a bug! There’s a bug in the tunnel!
Damn it. Run! Now!
MISAKI
Mizuki!
Fuku!
Damn.
That test subject we killed earlier
must’ve been feeding the passengers to this bug.
Seriously?
Mizuki...
Jin.
Put him in the special room.
Limit his diet.
Yes, ma’am.
Mizuki!
NEXT HUNT
I became an Amazon of my own free will.
When I’m an Amazon, I become more and more like someone I’m not.
Haruka?
I can’t fight side by side with somebody I can’t trust.
That’s why I’m going to hunt down bugs with the Extermination Team.
EPISODE 6 FOR WHAT I FIGHT
