"Clone Baby" Episode 8
On the night of July 7th, the Tanabata festival, the clone babies were born.
These clones with the same genes include Aoyagi Masamune,
Kikuchi Hiro,
Katsushika Marika,
Okabe Jotaro,
Mikumo Gota
and Ozu Satoshi.
Clones are made to react to the Law of Magnetics and the Law of Divine Providence.
Their fate is to be drawn together and then to kill each other.
- The instincts are awoken one by one in the clones. - There seems to be a different awakening that occurs in you.
The first victim was Mikumo Gota.
Gota...!
They discarded the other eggs that weren't needed.
Who did it and for what?
Gota's death became a sign of the shadowy Asterisk project.
Someday I will come and kill you!
While trying to get the hidden AGEC files, a ray of hope was found.
The way to stop the Law of Divine Providence is called the Restraint Tool.
By killing the master clone, the other clones will be able to stop killing each other.
Bingo!
You're the master clone.
You dying would help everyone!
Now Kikichi Hiro has been awoken too.
It is a life-or-death game where they battle for the one chair.
Tonight another of those stars of hope will vanish.
What was that?
I saw a strange girl.
Was that the first time for you?
Your instincts hadn't been awoken?
- I'd always thought you were the master clone. - Me?
- Could that girl be the master clone? - No. I think that girl is Marika.
Katsushika Marika?
Hey, where are you off to?
Hazuki Mio - the daughter of that researcher?
Her illness is Multiple cell failure.
It's a disease where the internal organs stop working one by one.
But she is still alive.
- I've got it! Now I know what the clones were created for. - Eh?
They'll transfer the clones' internal organs into her to lengthen her life.
Does that mean we were created so we could be killed?
Katsushika Marika is the master clone?
- In that case... - Hey, you!
Does that mean I have to kill Marika?
Please tell me, Gota.
Is Marika really the master clone?
"CLONE BABY" 8th CLONE
Seirin High School's ace Ozu Satoshi is in a tough situation. He shakes his head.
He takes a big wind up...
He pitches!
It's hit!
It went into the left stands. It was a winning home run with the bases loaded!
Ozu's pitch was hit.
I'll get revenge for that last pitch.
You said you have information about the Tanabata murder cases?
- I'm Higuchi Riko. - I'm Wakabayashi.
- I'd made an appointment with Katsushika. - He's out on another case.
I was surprised when I got the sudden message saying the place to meet had changed.
He's a hopeless guy.
- I used to work for AGEC. - AGEC? How long ago?
Um, excuse me, I'm here to take the corpse of Mikumo Gota who died a few days ago to bury him.
As if!
You're saying that whatever-it's-called research place is related to the Tanabata cases?
- Please go and investigate them. - I'm busy today and can't leave.
That weird lady you said about came. It seems like she wanted to make a complaint.
What's with you?
Masamune...
Marika...
I guess this is that Law of Magnetics thingy?
Can I sit here?
It must all have been that.
Meeting you, Marika, and being attracted to you, Marika...
I guess it was just because we are clones with the same genes.
When I touch you, Marika, my heart starts beating so fast it may explode.
- Doesn't it feel like your heart is beating faster? - Boom, boom, boom.
But I guess that had nothing to do with being in love.
That's why...
These sounds in our chests are fake?
Masamune, your feelings and mine aren't fake.
I'm not a doll who only reacts according to my genes or built-in instincts.
I believe that you're my destined one, Masamune.
Marika...
Thanks.
I'm going to fight it.
I'll be back to see you again, Marika.
How were the police?
- You're too weak to put up a fight. - Let go!
Weaklings like you are of no use in this world.
What are you going to do?
I'll take your body parts to make better use of them instead.
Ozu!
Ouch!
Hey, stop!
- Scram! - You don't know you're being used?
- It's none of your business. - You're similar.
You're like my dead brother.
The way he never gave up was just like your pitching.
- So what? - You're trying not to stop pitching just because there's two out with loaded bases in your life.
If there's a correct pitch needed, you should throw it.
I'll accept that.
Miss, are you alright?
I'm not pitching away from the win.
This is my own style of fighting for victory!
Again!
What is this?
Who was that?
Is she maybe in pain somewhere?
You failed again?
If she doesn't receive a healthy lung by tomorrow morning, it may be fatal.
I knew you'd be here.
Running away by yourself is so bad!
Because he was about to kill me. He had a knife!
Luckily you're okay though.
What would you have done if we were both attacked?
- I would've died if I tried to stand up to him. - Loser!
I couldn't date a selfish guy like you! I'm not going to be your friend anymore!
- I don't remember ever becoming friends with you. - Hm?
I don't need any pesky people like you in my life.
What?! I was the one who broke up with you first!
You're both very quiet.
- No, we're not. - Hey, Masamune... why don't you stop with your stupid act?
- Eh? - There's something you want to ask Dad, right? So hurry up and ask him.
Whatever it is, just ask.
July 7th is a special day for me as your father.
Masamune is a clone?!
Am I not really your son, Dad?
- What are you trying to say? - How was the weather on the day I was born?
You can't answer because I'm not your real son!
Dad...!
- You think your job is over? - Eh?
We're ready to perform the operation on your shoulder. Hurry over here.
Yes! Hooray! Yes! Yes! Hooray! Hooray!
We adopted you from an orphanage.
Your mom was upset because she couldn't have kids of her own.
So I went with her to look around the orphanage.
That was where we saw you there as a new born baby.
Apparently you had been left on the steps with a memo saying you were born on Tanabata.
But the moment I held you, I knew.
"Ah, this child is for us."
I truly felt that.
You were a gift from the heavens.
- That will make my shoulder normal again? - Because you have a clone.
I'll begin the surgery.
- Doctor, that person over there...? - You'll become a lung donor.
Calm down. I'll insert a mechanical lung into you and transplant your shoulder.
But you have a hereditary allergy, so your life may be at risk from the artificial lung transplant.
Marika?
That's lucky.
- I'm...? - I was shocked to see you collapsed in the living room when I came home.
- Don't tell Masamune. - I won't. I'll go and get the doctor.
I guess that girl must have been saved.
I'd believed that Aoyagi Masamune was the master clone.
But it seems that I had been mistaken.
Next time we meet, I may have to kill you.
Master clone?
I'm home.
Welcome back.
My teacher is weird.
Eh?
- Um, she said she was going to the high school of a kid called Ozu. - Ozu's high school?
She said she wanted to throw the correct pitch.
I'm not pitching away from the win.
What's wrong with me?
It's so hard to breathe.
If there's a correct pitch needed, you should throw it.
I need to go to the baseball ground.
Of course there's no way he'll come.
Ozu!
Seirin High School is in the lead at the bottom of the ninth innings with 2 outs and the bases full.
On the pitching mound is the ace, Ozu Satoshi.
He's boxed them in with two strikes.
It's unbelievably flexible.
Will this be the final pitch?
- Strike! - He swings and misses!
Seirin have won Koshien for the first time!
- The ace, Ozu Satoshi, has claimed the victory! - Yes!
Wonderful! Seirin High School are shining as the top team in Japan!
Ozu!
Ozu, are you alright?
We won... so why isn't anyone here?
Where is everyone in the team?
Why can't I hear the cheers?
My shoulder has been fixed.
But they took my lung in exchange for that.
Your lung?
Miss!
I can't keep things within the police anymore.
It would cost thousands of dollars.
I'm walking on thin ice, so I need to end my role in it.
Who's telling you to try to cover up the Tanabata murder cases?
Ozu, hang in there! Ozu!
I won't forgive them!
They knew he had an allergy, but still put an artificial lung in him.
You... had told me before.
You'd spoken about being thrown away like those fertilized egg cells.
Try not to speak anymore. The ambulance is on its way.
I... feel like I understand... the feelings of those cells that were thrown away.
I feel like they were probably wondering what they'd even been created for.
Hey! Hang in there!
You're not like them!
- You're a real person! - Yeah...
We have the right to have a life.
We're no different than anyone else!
Aoyagi... you're so stupid.
I.. tried to kill you...
- Ozu! - Ozu! Ozu!\Hey!!
Ozu! - Hang in there! Ozu! - Hey! Ozu! Hey!
Ozu...!
Hey! Ozu!
Tell me. Who is asking you to do that.
- As if I'd tell you. - You want me to break your arm?
I'm desperate too.
Cr*p...
Being cut down and killed in this way...
I... don't want any other lives to be lost.
I will never forgive the people who did this to other human beings.
Who are you?
Hey! Stop! Hey!
Hey!
Who are you?
You came to check that Ozu was really dead?
