I'd like you to get back the object before it arrives in Shinjuku.
This box.
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!
This is cruel. There's no reason to go this far!
I can't forgive a thing like this!
We'll rub you out here and now...
Ban Midou.
Ban, I'm telling you, wake up! It's time for work. Work!
Sheesh... how long are you going to stay in your dreams?
Right, big brother?
Ban?
Jackal...
Pleased to meet you, recoverers.
My name is Kuroudo Akabane, a transporter.
Shall we come to an arrangement?
It's favorable to you two.
What do you think?
Ban.
It's a simple thing.
First, as the condition on this side,
we would like to have you immediately turn back on this road
and return the way you came.
In other words, we would like to have you give up on your recovery.
As for what you'll receive in exchange...
I will spare you.
What will you choose, recoverers?
Give up on your job and survive...
or end up like that interception service did.
Please decide for yourselves.
Quite a cheap provocation.
Ban Midou won't fall for a trick like that, you know.
But his partner the blond boy is looking like he might fall for it.
Well, whether he falls for it or not the result will be the same.
Damn it!
Calm down, Ginji. Our job is recovery.
Of the box they're transporting.
Now then...
Shall I ask you to decide before I count to five?
Whether you'll be killed here, or give up?
One...
Give up, huh?
Two...
It looks like that bastard really wants to bring this to a deathmatch, doesn't it?
Three...
Four...
Five...
He... he's fast!
Ban! I'll hold him back, so get the box, quick!
No choice... I'll leave this to you, Ginji.
Well, well... you're going to fight me by yourself?
This is going to be a bit too easy for me, isn't it.
What?!
Go to pieces now.
I'm not stupid enough to fall for the same trick twice!
Well, well. So you can generate electricity, then?
Quite bizarre physiology you have.
I could swear he wasn't carrying any sharp weapons. But...
It's just like I've been cut by a knife or something...
It looks like I'll be able to have a little fun,
but just as I thought, this will be too easy for me.
Even Jackal by himself would've been a pain, but Himiko, too?
Well, I'll just get back the goods and skip out in a hurry!
Bingo!
Long time no see, huh?
I thought if I kept on being a transporter I'd be able to see you one day.
Although... I didn't want to see you.
It sounds like you understand what you did.
I won't let you escape!
Too slow.
If he's wearing a thick coat and rubber gloves,
my lightning won't get through to him.
Could I have you call your friend for me?
I'd like to experience a taste of this "Jagan" I've heard so much of.
Or shall I make you want to cry for help?
So that's it! Under that coat!
What is it you're intending?
I was thinking I'd have you dress a little lighter!
Well? If you don't take it off fast, you'll burn alive!
I see...
Is that how it is?
Will this be satisfactory, then?
Now then, shall we end the playing here and...
get started?
With the operation, that is.
Don't move!
Flame perfume, huh?
When you breathe it, it's the end...
it ignites internally and burns a person through from the inside.
I've anticipated your strategy.
If someone stands upwind from you,
the poison perfume you're so proud of is useless.
Hand over the cargo, Himiko! If you don't...
The 200-kilo-grip Snakebite.
Are you going to choke me with that viper's hand?
Just like you did my big brother.
If necessary.
Maguruma! It's your turn, Mr. No Brakes!
Damn! I must've breathed a little of it!
I'm a professional, too.
So since my job takes priority, I'll let you off with that!
Ginji! Run! The truck is coming!
What's the matter?
If you don't run quickly, you'll be run over, you know.
His bloodlust is overwhelming...
if I move now, I'll be chopped to pieces!
Ginji! Run!
GlNJl!
Ginji!
Freeze! Ginji!
Freeze!
If you come even one step closer, your friend loses his life.
Kuroudo Akabane
Himiko Kudou
Whoops, better not shock me.
This hand of mine might end up moving reflexively, you know.
If you're going to do it, then hurry up and do it!
I'd like that too, but apparently Miss Himiko would,
by all means, like for you to get in the truck.
This will be satisfactory, correct?
Perfect, Doctor Jackal.
Himiko. What the hell are you thinking?
Careful now, if you move this guy dies!
Well, either way. He lives only until we reach our destination.
Looks like you've got another thing you have to get back, don't you?
Ban...
What will you do, Ban Midou?
Will you come to get back your friend, prepared to die?
You won't, will you? Not you.
You wouldn't do something that unprofitable.
Well, shall we go, Miss Himiko?
Our anxiety-prone client is waiting.
Now we go straight to Shinjuku.
As long as that man is here, I can't make a wrong move.
But putting that aside, what is with him?
Where the heck did he pull a weapon from
even though he was naked from the waist up?
Nothing to write home about, are you?
Even if you are the former leader of VOLTS, famed as the strongest in Shinjuku.
You really don't live up to a name like "Lightning Emperor," do you?
Would you stop that? I don't like that title.
I don't really want to remember, for one thing...
And pinning me in with the truck was cowardly.
You say some interesting things.
Why is an easy mark like you hooked up with someone like Ban Midou?
With a cold-blooded snake like that.
Stop badmouthing Ban, too.
I don't know what happened between you and Ban,
but Ban isn't that cold-blooded a person at...
Poor thing. You don't know what kind of man he is, do you.
I wonder if you aren't the one to be pitied.
What is that supposed to mean?
I can tell by looking in your eyes.
You have the eyes of someone who's been pounded by a cold rain.
They're the eyes of a person
who's lived without relying on anyone or believing in anyone.
I know. Because a long time ago, I was the same way.
This area is ruled by VOLTS.
You'd better beat it fast.
If you don't want to die, that is.
The owner of a restaurant we go to a lot once said this:
Money and status... cars... jewels... Iovers...
Being a human is going through life stealing precious things
and having precious things stolen from you.
That's the kind of hopeless creatures humans are.
This is good! That's the kind of hopeless creatures humans are.
Oh, this one's mine! That's the kind of hopeless creatures humans are.
Oh, this one's mine!
Hey, wait!
If what got taken was money or things, you can just get it back.
But if it was something like "humanity" or "warmth"...
then what can fill up the cavern made inside a person's heart...
is meeting another human who holds the same emptiness.
After I met Ban I understood too.
Living with a friend you can trust and who can trust you is way more fun.
Say, are you having fun?
Doing your job with a guy like that...
He goes around hacking up opponents who are obviously no match for him
when there's not even any point to it.
That guy's not decent.
The reason he's doing something like a transport service job
is so he can have fun chopping up people who come after the cargo,
Iike those interceptors!
Thanks to you, I'll get along without being bored on the journey.
Look, Himiko, you don't want to see anyone else get done in by this guy either, do you!
I...
Oh, hey! I just had a good idea!
Say, Himiko, do you wanna be in the recovery service, too?
All right, I got it!
Ban!
Himiko! Regression perfume!
Oo oo... ah ah...
Cheers!
It looks good!
Himiko!
Say "ah"!
Hey, my meat!
Hey, Himiko, give that back!
Ow ow ow... ouch! Hey, Himiko, give that back!
Ow ow ow... ouch! Give me back my meat!
If you did that it would make Ban happy, too!
I mean, he looked like your misunderstanding was bothering him.
So...
You're running your mouth off about what's none of your business!
You just don't know, that's all!
You don't know his... Ban Midou's true colors!
He killed my older brother!
A friend you can believe in?
Don't make me laugh!
You're being duped!
You're just being taken in by that damn viper's smooth talking!
It looks like you won't understand no matter what I say, will you?
But soon you'll understand what I'm saying even if you don't want to.
About when our truck arrives at its destination, in fact.
What does that mean?
It means there's no way that man will come to get you back!
I'm right, aren't l?
In a situation like this, even he can't do anything!
You'll realize you've been abandoned by the friend you believe in
when it comes time for you to die!
No I won't.
Of course Ban's going to come!
I was going to let you live until we arrive at our destination,
but I've had enough.
Looking at your stupid face makes me sick.
I'll dispose of you right here!
Himiko!
He's coming.
He ended up coming just as Ginji said, didn't he?
See, Himiko?
Bring it on, Ban Midou!
Yoo-hoo, Ginji, are you alive?
Yep! It's a close call, Ban, but I'm alive!
Hey, good job!
I'm going to get you back along with that box in there,
so stay alive until then!
Yay! I'll leave it to you.
All right, good boy.
So, what are the bad guys doing?
Ban!
Heh, you've come out, have you?
Well then, I guess I'll get on board.
Moron!
How many times do I have to tell you your poison perfume
is useless unless you stand upwind...
Th... this smell?!
Flame perfume?!
You're the moron, Ban Midou.
Well, really. So there's nothing for me to do?
This is a disappointment, isn't it, Miss Himiko?
What were you expecting, I wonder?
Wha... what is this?!
Just one minute.
Yo, Himiko.
Did you have a dream?
The... the Jagan?!
We're going, Ginji!
Yahoo!
We got the target!
Adieu, you two! Let's all work together again sometime.
Himiko!
I'm serious, okay? About doing the recovery service together!
What are you thinking, you dope?
But she's cute.
Huh?
As if you aren't all strangely worked up about her.
I'm telling you, if you can clear up the misunderstanding, you can become friends.
Friends, huh?
I see. So that's the famous Jagan.
I got to see quite an enjoyable dream.
I was altogether careless.
I hadn't figured on Ban Midou coming to save his partner.
But the fact that he used the Jagan, his ace, is to our advantage.
What do you mean?
He can only use his Jagan three times in one day.
What's more, he can't use it twice on the same person within 24 hours.
He said a long time ago that if he breaks these rules, it could be fatal.
Well, well.
Now he's effectively stripped naked.
Come on, let's follow them.
It all rests on the skill of Mr. No Brakes from now on.
We'll be counting on you, Mr. Maguruma.
No need to worry.
Reassuring to hear. Right, Jackal?
Such fun.
What?
You seem like you are having such fun, Miss Himiko.
In a different sense than myself.
What are you trying to say, Jackal?
Oh, nothing...
Only please don't interfere with my fun, Lady Poison.
Now then, shall we go?
This is the beginning of the rabbit hunt.

We finally made it back to Shinjuku!
The recovery is a success!
With this, platinum becomes ours!
It doesn't look like it's going to go that smoothly.
The transport service people are pretty tenacious too, huh?
There's really nothing to do but fight it out?
I can't forgive him, either.
