It's no use.
I had these guys search too, but he's not in the Infinity City.
I see...
Why are you being so calm?!
Our Lightning Emperor has left the Infinity City!
Mr. Ginji isn't coming back again?
He isn't coming back here to the Infinity City, to VOLTS?
Something like that can't be!
That guy...
So it was him, was it.
Since that guy showed up, Ginji's different.
That guy alone I'll never forgive.
Drink it. You look chilled to the bone.
Not really.
Oh, really?
But somehow you have the eyes of someone who's been pounded by a cold rain.
Thanks for the drink.
It's okay, Mozart, I'm fine.
Aw, look, you fell down.
You're that blind violin prodigy, little Madoka Otowa, aren't you?
They say that violin's expensive, huh?
It's dangerous to carry around a thing like that.
Let us hold on to it for you.
Although we won't give it back, of course.
Come on, hand it over.
Ow! What do you think you're doing, you little...
Mozart!
You damn dog!
Ow!
You do some pretty awful things, huh?
You shouldn't pick on animals.
Here, he's your dog, right? He's cute.
Well...
Who are you?!
Let's stop this, okay?
You're the ones in the wrong after all.
Are you messing with me?! Get him!
Mr. Kazuki?
What a nice smell. I wonder who it is?
Do you guys know who this person is?
Huh? Who he is?
You're cute, huh?! Ginji Amano, the person who held our group together a long time ago.
Oh, what a good stander you are! Ginji Amano, the person who held our group together a long time ago.
Oh, what a good stander you are! What did you say?!
Oh, what a good stander you are! Then, this man is that Lightning Emperor of the Infinity City,
the one who was the leader of VOLTS?!
The very strongest, the very worst, the cold-blooded demon...
The devil incarnate, Ginji Amano... Sir!
That was saying too much!
Please forgive us!
You're not hurt?
Who are you?
I'm Ginji Amano from the Get Backers.
You're Miss Madoka Otowa, right?
You were late, so I came to meet you.
Oh, yes.
Thanks, Kazu. You really helped us out there!
Mr. Ginji, you really won't come back to us?
I'm sorry. Right now I'm having a good time with my new group.
A good time?
Since you left, we've completely lost all law and order.
What are you talking about?
If Threadmaster Kazuki is there, that kind of thing is totally...
It's no good.
Those three won't acknowledge me.
The one and only leader that everyone will acknowledge is
the Lightning Emperor Ginji Amano.
I'm not the Lightning Emperor anymore.
Mr. Ginji...
I'm Ginji Amano of the Get Backers now!
I see.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Madoka, let's go.
Where are you guys going?
Oh, well, that is...
Who asked you to do it?
Asked us? Oh, never...
Money, is it.
To think you'd attack a blind girl for that.
I... I can't move!
Stay there awhile and think about what you did.
It's dangerous for a girl like you to walk the back alleys all alone.
Is it that scary a place?
Definitely!
So...
What?
It looks like you're not a scary person, are you?
I can tell by your face.
Miss Madoka!
Mr. Sugawara, why are you here?
There's no "why" about it.
When I heard you had gone to such a dangerous place as this all alone,
I came flying over here on the double.
But everything is okay.
What would we do if the worst happened?!
But it's not just bad people.
How right you are!
There are also people like we Get Backers, working for the good of people in trouble!
Who are you?
My name is Ban Midou of the Get Backers.
Now then, please, come inside.
It's a small, dirty place, but you're very welcome.
These days you openly suck up to anyone who looks like they have money, don't you.
Shut up.
Natsumi, iced tea.
Right! Master, please.
Okay, okay.
Feature: Musician in the Spotlight Violinist Shunsuke Akutsu
A Stradivarius?
Feature: Musician in the Spotlight Violinist Shunsuke Akutsu Yes.
Feature: Musician in the Spotlight Violinist Shunsuke Akutsu What's that?
It's a general term for a stringed instrument made by
the Italian master craftsman Antonio Stradivari.
Then it's valuable?
If you put one up for sale, even cheap it would be 20 million yen.
If it was one of first-class quality, the price would be in the hundred millions.
Hundred millions?!
But that Stradi-whatsit is what you've got there, isn't it?
What do you mean, you want us to get it back?
This is a fake.
Someone switched them.
What I'd like you to get back for me is the real Stradivarius.
And the person who's got it now is...
This man.
A world-renowned violinist as well as a boy entrepreneur who runs an import business.
But on his dark side, a figure rumored to be connected to the Mafia: Shunsuke Akutsu.
Shido?
How did you figure out that this Akutsu guy took your violin?
I don't know whether or not he took it.
But the violin he's using is definitely my Stradivarius.
When we performed together at a classical event the other day...
That sound was definitely my Stradivarius.
The one I received from my teacher, it's more precious than my life.
But you've both been praised to the skies for that day's performance.
No one's said a word about your violin being a fake.
Miss Madoka is the violin prodigy said to have God's own ears.
If she says this is a fake, then it is a fake.
Please! Please believe me.
And please, won't you get back the real one for me?
By seven o'clock tomorrow night.
Seven o'clock tomorrow night?
That's a little sudden.
I have an important performance. A very precious one...
For this one thing, it just has to be...
It has to be that Stradivarius.
You don't look like someone who's lying.
Does she, Ginji?
Then...
The invincible recovery service Get Backers has taken on this assignment!
Thank you very much.
All right, now that we're decided on that, I'm calling an immediate strategy meeting.
Okay!
Shunsuke Akutsu?
I should probably let Shido know.
Tonight visitors from Italy are coming to Mr. Akutsu's estate.
I heard that he's called a chamber quintet to welcome them.
Our car broke down! Let us ride with you Please stop
In other words, getting into Akutsu's estate
by trading places with these musicians is the surest shot.
That's all well and good,
but there's no reason to take Natsumi along too.
I'm fine.
I'm happy I can be of help in your work!
Look here, Natsumi, we're going up against the kind of dangerous guys
who have ties to the Mafia.
It can't be helped, can it?
We're a quintet, so it would be weird if there weren't five of us, right?
Ginji is coming?
I know that.
Obviously I wouldn't do anything to Ginji.
The one I have a grudge against is that guy, Ban Midou.
Tell Kazuki that his worry is uncalled for.
Whoops, I guess you can't.
Humans are inconvenient.
Or should I say foolish.
Because they don't even try to lend an ear to your words.
Carry it gently.
I know, I know!
Let's go then.
Is that so? I understand.
She should've been a good girl and stayed out of it.
Sir, the musicians have arrived.
Let's go meet them.
It looks like you'll have a part to play too.
First of all, as a protection service, please protect this.
I'll be relying on you, Mr. Hishiki.
Kazuki Fuchouin
Shido Fuyuki
Wow, what an estate!
I wonder what he did to earn this money?
Better not to say that out loud.
Ban, help me out here!
Everyone from the quintet, welcome.
We've been waiting for you.
Oh, what's this? It seems your members are different.
Yes, the reserved group met some trouble and was unable to come.
We rushed over as their replacements.
There's no need for worry.
Everyone's skills are assured.
Is that right?
Tonight's guests are very important business partners.
So that there will be no discourtesy,
I'd like to entertain them with a superlative performance.
I wonder if I could have you play the violin a bit?
Oh, we haven't tuned up yet, and...
If your skill is unsatisfactory...
So this is the true face of a maestro of the underworld then!
I'm sure the guests from Italy are probably Mafia or something too.
What now, Ban?
Now then, what's the matter?
Is there some sort of problem?
Or...
Magnificent.
Your skill is impressive.
Well then, please make yourselves at home until the performance tonight.
Kurobe!
Yes, Sir.
Please show them to their room.
Now please make yourselves at home.
Man, that made me nervous!
Ban, your Jagan really saved us.
Idiot! What would be the point of using the Jagan on you guys too?!
What? Ban, you mean you were really playing?!
You're kidding!
That's amazing!
It's an unexpected talent.
It's not that great a thing.
More importantly, hurry up and let her out.
Sorry, sorry! Was it uncomfortable?
I'm fine.
I understand.
The point is, I just have to protect the violin from those guys, right?
Yes, it seems this is a group very difficult to deal with.
Don't worry. I'll do my job.
I'll be counting on you.
Oh, and another thing.
Since it's a special occasion, I'd like to put on a little entertainment.
Entertainment?
Yes, a fun show, in place of the quintet.
What is it you've been looking for?
Oh, nothing...
Are you looking for that guy who was behind Akutsu in the magazine photo?
You noticed?
Of course I did.
He's one of my group from before, from when I was in VOLTS.
He was one of the people they called the Four Kings.
He's called Shido the Beastmaster.
Beastmaster?
He commands animals by whistling.
He said he can talk with the animals.
So, why's he here?
I don't know.
It seems like after I left the Infinity City, VOLTS ended up disbanding.
I think he's angry with me.
He was one of your own, wasn't he?
Yeah.
Then he's not a bad guy, is he?
While you're looking for the violin anyway,
just meet up with him and try to talk to him, that's all.
Ban...
Well, shall we start the party?
It's a violin!
All right, we'll do this just like we planned.
I'll use the Jagan on them and while they're all confused,
we'll rake together it and all the other violins in the estate, just to be on the safe side.
Then we'll have Madoka check them, and escape with just the real one!
A perfect strategy!
Do you guys always make plans this sloppy?
Then let's give it a go, Ja...
What's with this?!
I've got a bad feeling.
This evening I'll put on a first-class show for everyone.
Could that mean?
It's cramped after all.
I wonder if everyone's okay?
Seven o'clock... There's only one day left.
What should we do?
Please, Mozart, take me to the rooms that smell like instruments!
The smell of old trees and varnish...
There are lots of instruments, aren't there?
But what should I do? The time it would take to check them all...
That's right!
Nothing but excellent violins!
They're all old, good instruments.
Who are you?!
Will you play it for me?
You wanted to play this, didn't you?
What's wrong?
It's different. It's not my violin.
That's a shame.
Well, you are?
I'm Shido. I'm being employed by Akutsu.
Don't worry. I don't intend to do anything to you.
But I can't hand over the violin either.
Sorry, but it's my job.
But...
You'd better get away fast.
The recovery service will fail.
Because I'm here.
See you later, Mozart.
How do you know Mozart's name?
I'll protect Natsumi and the others!
Hey, I'm the one being targeted!
Isn't it a fun show?
No choice!
Go!
Mr. Shunsuke, it is dangerous! Please hurry!
All right! We can escape now!
This has a thrill that makes it fun, doesn't it?
Natsumi...
I knew I shouldn't have come.
So he used the Jagan thing, did he?
Apparently his Jagan is limited to three times in 24 hours.
He's only got two times left.
Madoka?!
Where did she go at a time like this?
What now?
There's nothing for it. We'll split up into two groups and search.
From here on out, no playing around!
We search out the little lady, and we get back the assignment too!
Okay! We're the invincible recovery service, right?
It looks like it's your turn.
Rats?!
Ban, do something!
How about you hurry up and use your Jagan?
You're Shido. So that's how it is?
If you don't start looking sharp...
No! Ouch!
Look this way, you damn rats!
One time left...
Dammit!
You've used up your precious trump card, haven't you Ban Midou?
You're nothing much, are you.
You're Ginji's partner? You make me laugh.
You talk too much.
Let's take this outside.
It's gotten noisy.
I wonder what's happened to the recovery service people?
That sound!
It's definitely my Stradivarius!
Mr. Akutsu must be playing it.
Somewhere on this estate...
Madoka, I found you!
Mr. Ginji!
Are you stupid?
I wouldn't have thought you'd take me out to the garden.
Don't you feel it?
Don't you sense the countless numbers targeting you in this darkness?
They're there.
My friends are right there with fangs and claws sharpened.
Now that you can't use your trump card, there's nothing you can...
I said, shut up. Now that you can't use your trump card, there's nothing you can...
I said, shut up.
You've got guts, picking a fight with me.
You've gone and made me really angry.
I'll teach you what it means to be outclassed!

Why do all your friends from the VOLTS era always hate me like this?
I'm sorry, but Shido and Kazu are both good guys!
If they get in the way of the recovery, I won't go easy on them.
Ban, there's someone scary over here!
I didn't figure on a protection service.
They've hired a nasty one.
