"Clone Baby" Episode 7
We are clones with the same genes. We are Aoyagi Masamune,
Kikuchi Hiro,
Katsushika Marika,
Okabe Jotaro,
Mikumo Gota
and Ozu Satoshi.
On the night of July 7th, the Tanabata festival, us clone babies were born.
The clones have a set fate.
That destiny was the Law of Magnetics which means we're drawn together like magnets.
- I don't know what I might do if I'm near you. - Masamune...
- It's best if we don't meet again. - I'd thought it was our destiny, but it was only me who thought that.
And their destiny is to kill each other due to the Law of Divine Providence.
As if I know how to kill someone...!
Someday I will come and kill you!
I will pound you into a heap for what you did!
Even if two clones with the same genes are drawn together, they can't both exist.
Only one can remain alive.
We were born with the fate of having to kill each other.
The Tanabata (July 7th) murders have hit our jurisdiction.
We are clone babies!
Aren't heroes too strong to die? Gota...!
- One star of hope of the clones died out. - Proof of being a clone.
- The clones just react to the instincts given to them. - I want to stop this fight.
- What in the world were the clones created for? - Please lend me your support.
This is a life-or-death game where we battle for the one chair.
We are finally ready to stand up against this fate we have been destined for as clones.
"CLONE BABY" 7th CLONE
I worked at AGEC, which is known for doing research on cloned animals.
That's where they created us clones?
The reason my life was targeted may be because I know too much.
The guy who tried to kill you was under orders from the lab?
He said he'd been told that if he killed me, they'd fix his injured shoulder.
It seems the condition was that they'd take an arm from another clone.
Arm...
Masamune!
My body may have already been used for some other clone's sake. We have to do something.
Miss, you don't know any good methods?
There may be some information if you sneak inside the labs.
- Inside? - Sneak inside?
No! I don't want to do that!
Perverts like you couldn't do it.
The AGEC security is not easy to break through.
Not for normal hackers, right?
There has never been a single hacker who has managed to get through AGEC's security.
Marika, are you okay?
Marika!
Anyhow, no matter what happens, you will always be my little sister.
Her condition seems to have stabilized.
But the timing for when to wake her up from her coma has become shorter.
Hurrying isn't a good thing, but it can't be helped.
Hello?
No, but a bit longer. A bit longer and I'll succeed.
Within 3 days. I promise.
Its guard is really tight.
He can't even break through that level of security? I won't get my hopes up.
Hey! Who do you think Okajo is?
Heat up!
Masamune, why are you staying so far away?
Your instincts have awoken?
It's dangerous for clones to be in contact.
What happens if we are in contact?
Your instincts and mine would awaken and we'd kill each other.
Oh, Shogo, what's up?
Hello. I couldn't get my mind off something in the Tanabata cases.
The headquarters have completed and cleared up the Tanabata cases.
But I can't get over it. Look at this.
The DNA of the victims and the perpetrators was always the same.
And the data of all the victims, other than Tsubaki Eita, was extremely alike.
So you're saying it was a case of murder amongst quintuplets?
I get it. It can't be helped.
- I'll ask the juniors to work on this as a priority case. - Thank you.
I don't know what I might do if I'm near you.
It's best if we don't meet again.
Hit! Hit! Okay! I got in!
The Asterisk project. - Asterisk?
It must be this star-shaped mark.
They mixed a tiny amount of genes with chromosomes taken from the same somatic cells.
It's a project to create humans clones with different looks and sexes.
It's the project that created us?
The implementation date was for 7th July 19 years ago. I can't believe they managed this almost 20 years ago.
There were 11 clone babies born in test tubes.
They were 10 males and 1 female.
Was the female one Marika?
The way to stop the Law of Divine Providence is called the Restraint Tool.
Restraint Tool? Such a thing exists?
In this folder there should be a way to stop the clones killing each other.
You look depressed.
Your stalker arrives!
Shit! It needs another password.
Move out of the way.
- There's a limit to how many times you can input the incorrect password. - I know.
Asterisk?
- See! - Shut up.
Has a mouse gotten lost?
One more try. Right, I'll give it a go.
- Let's stop here. - Eh?
Any further will be dangerous. I've got a bad feeling about it.
I'm going home for a while.
- There may be documents that may help. - Wait!
"Higuchi family"
My big brother...
- Higuchi, congratulations. - Thanks. - Congratulations.
- Higuchi. - Dr. Hazuki!
Your research results were great.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
- Bro... - Riko!
This is Higuchi.
This is rather sudden, but may I come and visit you now?
You said this once before, didn't you?
You said we're a community of fate.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes! - What? What, what?
I changed the server and tried hacking into the lab's security cameras.
Incredible! Okajo, you really are amazing!
It's your teacher!
What's she doing there?
I was surprised to have you be the one asking to see me.
I'd like to talk to you about the Asterisk project.
I've met several of the grown-up clones in the last few days.
They are clones created with the same genes, but they have various personalities.
There's a frustrated one...
one with a sense of justice...
an introverted one...
The results of that experiment are extremely interesting.
It made me remember the feeling of being moved by the opening of a new door based on our research.
- In other words... - Please let me join and do research with you again.
She has betrayed us!
That man is Hazuki Soichiro.
He was part of the Asterisk project.
You said it felt like there was a hole in your heart.
A new aim has appeared before me.
Someday I will come and kill you!
I will pound you into a heap for what you did!
I thought I'd slowly fill the hole from now on.
The hole in your heart will be fine.
Because the feelings you have for Aoyagi Masamune are not real.
Can we really trust that woman?
We'll have to wait and see.
Bingo!
Master clone?
What do you mean that my feelings for Masamune aren't real?
Your feelings are the Law of Magnetics - an effect of being clones.
You're also saying I'm a clone?!
Yes.
Me, Masamune and you are all unmistakably clones.
But you and Masamune were just drawn to each other because you met early on.
- You're wrong! - I'm not. It's not just you.
Masamune was also drawn to you.
I am too.
Marika?
Where did that clone vanish to?
- It's Kojima Ryuhei. - He should still be alive if things go according to plan.
Hurry up and find him. When we have all 11 together, for the first time Mio...
... my daughter's body can be fully healed.
At this pace we'll never be done in time for my daughter's 20th birthday celebration.
I've already bought the wine I'll drink with her on that day.
That reminds me, Higuchi's younger sister came here earlier.
Those siblings are so alike.
Big bro, congratulations.
You mustn't stay here. This research lab is dangerous.
Do as I asked.
Listen to what I'm going to tell you, Ms. Higuchi.
If you go out into the hallway, you'll be killed.
Isn't there any way for you to escape?
Hm, Miss? Miss?
You really shouldn't move. Hang on, we'll call the police.
Answer me. Can you hear me? Miss!
- Miss, answer me! - I can't. I can't wait any longer.
- I'll get rid of the mouse. - Please do.
- Miss, this way! - Aoyagi!
Hurry!
The shutters...! The exit shutters are starting to close. Okajo!
Hurry! Hurry! They'll get shot!
I have to get into the control system to stop the shutters.
Miss, that's no good! Hurry!
You did it!
Incredible! Incredible! Okajo, you really are a god!
Are you alright?
Mio! Mio...!
It'll go away soon.
- There seems to be a different awakening that occurs in you. - Awakening?
What were you trying to do?
If Okajo wasn't a hacking god, you could have died.
It is my fault.
I contributed to what AGEC did.
I helped them continue to do research on clones.
The reason was... to find a way to reincarnate my older brother.
But seeing you all made me realize something.
Creating clones... that can become completely different people...
Pretending they don't exist...
And even my own brother's life was taken by them...
I didn't know anything!
Couldn't you help us by fighting alongside us?
We need your support right now.
So please trust us more.
Thanks. Thanks.
Drone-beetle, I didn't know any of this.
Helping others brings tears to my eyes.
Okajo...
I'm sorry.
I caused you this much trouble, but I still didn't bring back the data.
I'll get them before they get me.
Masamune...
What's with you?
It can't be!
"Forensics report"
There's no way that none of their DNA patterns are identical.
- It can't be... - Shogo, don't question the forensics report.
It can't be helped.
At this pace we'll never be done in time for my daughter's 20th birthday celebration.
Hazuki Soichi has a daughter who was born on Tanabata (July 7th).
Bingo!
What, what, what, what?
Tell me.
About the Restraint Tool. I bet you know about it.
The Restraint Tool is having the master clone die.
A master clone?
You're the master clone.
You dying would help everyone!
Well? Do you feel like having me kill you this time?
There is only one chair prepared for us.
