Let's gather up the tears and give them back to the night sky
Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust
On nights when I've stopped knowing whether or not I'm alive
I get swallowed up by the starless night sky
"Don't disappear, light!" my uncertain heart cries out
I just want to see you!
Sprinting with all my might through illusions, delusions, daydreams
A miracle wakes all throughout my body
Don't forget, you're not alone
We're always just a dreamer
Take love, get all love, get back love in our hands
Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust
What kind of tomorrow shall I dream about tonight?
Isn't Akabane coming?
He should be coming.
I made it on time, I see.
It's been a long time since I last saw you.
Mr. Maguruma, and Miss Himiko Kudou.
And finally myself, Kuroudo Akabane.
It looks like things will get interesting.
A full three of the biggest names in the world of transport service
have been hired to transport this item, after all.
It must be quite a dangerous article.
I'm not interested in what's inside.
A transport service transports the assignment to the specified place.
That's all.
Not inserting one's personal interests into the job is the mark of a professional.
Am I right, Doctor Jackal?
Of course you're absolutely right, Lady Poison.
Mr. Maguruma, this is a chance for you who are called "Mr. No Brakes"
to give full play to your skills.
Big brother, wait! I'm gonna play, too.
Aw, come on, if you're around we can't play soccer!
I said I'm coming with you and I'm coming!
Sheesh. Got no choice, huh?
Here.
Yay!
What, again?
Yeah, we just parked it for a little bit,
and it got moved away by the tow truck just like that!
Now thanks to the fines for that, our money's gone again.
Poor things...
Natsumi, there's no reason to indulge them.
They're reaping what they sow.
But! I told Ban we shouldn't do it, but he...
Look, you, don't pretend you're the good one just so you can try to scam food for yourself!
I'm sorry, Ban, that's not what I meant!
Oh, a customer.
Welcome!
I thought you'd be here, recovery service!
Wow...
How nice for you two.
Here comes one of your regulars.
What a lovely greeting, Paul. Is that girl a new face?
My name is Natsumi Mizuki.
I'm working here part-time.
Oh, really.
I'm Hevn, a negotiator. Nice to meet you.
A negotiator?
I act as an intermediary
between clients and people who do the kind of work these guys do.
Hey, where are you going?!
Oh, well, we just remembered something we have to do.
Yeah, it's a shame.
Oh REALLY. And here I went to all the trouble of bringing you a job.
The jobs you bring are never anything decent!
And what's more you always steal a negotiator's fee from us!
Yeah, last time was REALLY dangerous!
And we hardly got any money.
Why, Gin, I think you two can handle it,
that's why I'm always bringing you jobs you can sink your teeth into.
This is another job where it has to be you guys.
Okay? Think of it as helping me out.
Really?
Okay, if you say so...
Don't let her trick you just like that!
The fee is big.
You don't have any money, do you?
It's a sweet job you don't see often in these hard times.
I wonder if it's okay for you to refuse?
Lady Hevn!
Shall I massage your shoulders?
Gracious, what's a piece of lint doing here?
Hey, Ginji, get over here and shine Lady Hevn's shoes or something!
Ban...
Please do us the favor of waiting here.
Y-Yes, please don't go to any trouble on our account.
Surprised? The client is the big-shot politician Haruo Ohtaki.
This job is high-caliber.
And so is the fee, of course.
Whoa, those are expensive-looking carp.
I wonder if you could eat them?
Just sit down, you!
I'm sorry to have made you wait.
Not at all.
These men are the Get Backers Recovery Service.
I'm Ban Midou.
My name is Ginji Amano.
According to Miss Hevn, you're quite good.
Our successful recovery rate is nearly 100%.
There's nothing we can't get back!
Truly faith-inspiring.
Will you undertake this assignment, then?
That's after we hear what you have to say.
Very sensible. I'll get right to it, then.
The truth is, an extremely important item
has been stolen from a certain place in Hokkaido.
I know who the criminal is.
He's been my political enemy for ages.
He's a man who's very hard to deal with.
Right now that item has been transported from Hokkaido to Honshu,
and is headed here: Shinjuku, Tokyo.
I obstinately tried every possible means to get it back,
but they all met with failure.
It seems he employed a highly skilled transport service.
Transport service?
People who make it their job to deliver the object they're assigned,
no matter how much trouble the object itself is or how dangerous the destination.
Do you know who they are?
Not yet. Right now I've got Paul investigating.
I'll tell you as soon as I know.
You're the only ones left now.
I'd like you to get back the object before it arrives in Shinjuku.
So, what's the object we're talking about?
This box.
What's inside?
That I can't say.
But I will say this. It has a value comparable to that of platinum.
I'm out.
It smells kinda fishy.
Hey, wait you two!
I'll give you two million yen.
In addition, if it's within the sphere of my power I'll give you something you want.
How about a condo? Or should l give you a classy car?
What should we do, Ban?
I'm willing to accept.
Good.
But on one condition.
We don't need two million yen or a condo,
so give us a tenth of what's in that box.
What did you say?
That's the condition. If you don't like it, ask someone else.
How about it?
Fine. I'll swallow that condition.
Okay.
Get Backers has taken on this assignment for sure.
Thanks for the business.
Hold on, is that condition really okay?
We don't even know what's inside the box.
Why shouldn't it be okay?
Your negotiator's fee was paid in cash up front.
Don't bother coming to ask me for it later.
Sure, sure.
More importantly, when the info comes in on that transport service, let us know right away.
I know, I know.
Hey, Ban, was that really a good thing?
If we were going to take it on anyway, wouldn't two million yen have been better?
You don't get it, do you.
Haven't you seen that old guy somewhere recently?
Huh? Not that I know of.
At least read the newspaper.
It's in there.
Oh, it's that old guy from before.
Um... "A sunken vessel thought to be a Russian battleship
has been dredged up from the bottom of the sea off the coast of Kushiro in Hokkaido."
"At the time of the Japanese-Russian war,
this ship was freighted with a large amount of platinum... "
P-Platinum?
Th-that super-ultra-precious metal that they say is more expensive than gold,
that people like us will never have anything to do with in our lives?
Yup.
And, the one who dredged up that sunken ship was the geezer from before.
Then Ban, could what's inside that box be?
That doesn't have a value comparable to platinum;
it lS platinum.
T-Ten percent... of that box full of platinum...
J-Just how much would that be?
Who knows.
All I can say for sure is that it's not just gonna be two or three million yen.
With this our life will be secure for awhile, huh Ginji?
It will, won't it?
Sea urchin and salmon roe and even really fatty tuna with this,
we can eat as much as we want, can't we?
All right then! Our aim: to be platinum millionaires!
Yes, millionaires!
I see... so the opponent has employed a recovery service.
I've heard of them.
Get Backers, the recovery service making Shinjuku their stronghold.
No, no, there's no need for worry.
You have us, so please set your mind at ease.
The client's tendency to anxiety is another difficulty, isn't it?
With the three of us, it's impossible to imagine even one failure in ten thousand.
Isn't that right, Miss Himiko?
I wonder. Don't let your guard down, Jackal.
This time, our enemies aren't just anybody.
Well, well... acquaintances of yours?
They're dangerous.
Especially that man... Ban Midou.
Ban Midou
Ginji Amano
Now, we've set up an ambush here.
According to that geezer Ohtaki's information, they'll come through here soon.
When they do, Ginji, it's your turn.
Right! When they come, I move the railway crossing with my lightning,
and when the truck stops I jump in!
Magnificent. It's a perfect strategy if I do say so myself!
Thrills the heart, doesn't it?
Ban, you're so smart! With this, the platinum is ours, huh?
Wait, they're already here!
Ginji!
But I'm not ready yet!
Just do it, quick!
R-Right!
STOP
Okay, we made it on ti...
No... no brakes...
Ginji, get in!
Wait, Ban?!
Bring it on!
Don't think you can escape the brilliant driving technique of Ban Midou!
Ban, I'm not inside yet!
There they are!
You bastards! Don't underestimate my ladybug!
She looks small,
but inside she's got a V-MAX 1200 cc twin cam with 145 horsepower,
nitro tuned for a max of 195 horsepower!
Ban, I'm sorry to interrupt you as you're getting fired up, but...
What?!
They're getting further and further away!
Nothing for it, huh. I'll do it!
You're going to nitro?
Three minutes. The engine can't handle any more than that.
When we catch up to them, make a fast attack and jump into the trailer!
Got it!
Then we're going!
Okay! Go, Ginji!
Okay.
Huh? A girl?
Himiko?
Oh, that smells nice.
This is bad!
Ginji! Hold your breath and get your head in!
Ginji! Are you all right?
Oo oo?
Oo oo ah ah! Gah! Ginji, stop it!
Come on, wake up!
Oo oo!
How about that, eh?
Huh? What the heck happened?
B-Ban!
Be crushed!
Maguruma!
He really doesn't brake.
We were headed straight for the guardrail.
And yet you still didn't touch the brake.
He truly lives up to the name Mr. No Brakes.
It couldn't be any other way.
I won't let you get away like this!
Hey, Ban. What the heck happened?
What was wrong with me?
You were caught by Himiko's poison perfume.
Himiko?
A troublemaking woman who uses seven poison perfumes.
The one that did a number on you was a regression perfume
made from the brains of a million-year-old ape-man found in a glacier.
If a person breathes just one whiff of that fragrance
it makes them regress until they're apes.
With perfume?
If it hadn't been washed away by the water in the lake,
right about now you'd be relapsed into the primitive age.
But Ban, why do you know so much about that girl?
I wonder if Mr. Ban and Mr. Ginji are working hard on their job?
Don't worry. They may not look it, but they're really very good.
Hevn! This is bad!
THlS is the transport service?
Yeah. This time the opposition's just bad.
I just hope they're all right.
It looks like you've pulled ahead quite a bit, Mr. Maguruma.
Because it's downhill. There's also the difference in horsepower.
I'd say we're about five, six minutes ahead.
In that case we'll be overtaken soon.
Jackal?
It appears there's another obstacle.
I know it goes against the grain as Mr. No Brakes, but please stop.
Jackal?
I will go.
Traffic is blocked from here on.
Leave your cargo and take a detour without making a fuss.
An interception service, I assume.
Unfortunately, I cannot bow to your wishes.
You see...
we are professionals as well.
Are those guys really that dangerous?!
Yes. Kuroudo Akabane, known as Doctor Jackal.
His ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness make him the worst,
most horrible, most hated figure in the transport service world!
That's...
"J."
This... this is cruel.
They were obviously not in his league.
And yet... it's like he was enjoying hurting people...
There's no reason to go this far!
I... I can't forgive a thing like this!
Let's burn rubber, Ginji.
The real thing begins now.
Yeah. We have to teach him, don't we?
That once we Get Backers target our prey, we never let it escape!
Was there really any need to go that far with opponents like that?
They were carrying weapons.
I was so terrified I accidentally overdid my self-defense.
They're here!
Just what you'd expect from a rising star of the recovery service world.
The Jagan man Ban Midou
and the former leader of Shinjuku's most horrible youth gang,
the Lightning Emperor Ginji Amano, hmm?
How about it, Miss Himiko?
Instead of constantly running away, shall we bring this to a quick end?
You mean... rub them out?
You wouldn't like that?
I think the more dangerous the plant, the more quickly it should be nipped in the bud.
Or is there some reason we can't do that?
Mr. Maguruma, stop.
That's Jackal, isn't it Ban?
We'll rub you out here and now...
Himiko.
Ban Midou.
I can't yet crack open the glasswork deep in my heart
I believe only in you
I feel the refrain
The well-trod distance to the train station
And the vending machine I leaned on, unable to go home
You're nowhere to be found
My heart can't be honest
Where in the world are you?
I keep searching for you over and over
I can't yet crack open the glasswork deep in my heart
I believe only in you
I feel the refrain
It doesn't look like the transport service people
are going to give us the box very easily, does it?
They're professionals, too. We just have to do it.
Is that really okay, Ban? I mean, fighting with that girl...
Don't you let your guard down, either!
Doctor Jackal is a cunning one.
Next time: "Recovery Service vs. Transport Service"
Next Get Backers: Recovery Service vs. Transport Service Next time: "Recovery Service vs. Transport Service"
Next Get Backers: Recovery Service vs. Transport Service I believe. Ban will definitely come!
Next Get Backers: Recovery Service vs. Transport Service
