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?
Mister Kazuki!
Ya really aren't in any shape to do this.
Sheesh, you're a real stubborn guy.
Makubex...
Die... die...
Die, die, die...
Die!
This is the pits.
A mutual slaying might really seriously be the best I can do.
Die, die, die...
Die!
Hundred Beast Semblance: Deer King Semblance!
The elk's antlers don't let the enemy they've caught escape!
Your opponent's a middle-aged man. What's your problem, Midou?
Ban! Where's Gin?
He's back to normal and headed for Makubex's place.
Don't...
Don't interfere!
He really packs a punch. Isn't his injury affecting him at all?
Out of the way. This guy's my guest.
What can you do in that kind of shape?!
You say that, but are you prepared to go down with him?
Huh?
Right now, the only thing that's keeping him moving is his desire to defeat me.
With an opponent like that, this side has to be ready to die too.
Shut up!
You shut up and go to Makubex's place with Ginji!
That's your job, isn't it?!
Ban, let's leave this to Shido and go.
Midou!
I'll send your bones to Madoka's place for you, monkey trainer!
That's how it is. I'll be the one to fight you!
Damn, so this is the Enlightenment?
You still have strength left?!
Where is Midou?
Midou... Midou...
For animals, this guy's Enlightenment isn't a special power.
Like small animals are enlightened when they sense an earthquake coming and run away,
this guy must also be enlightened by sensing something that's coming from his enemy.
In which case, that's probably...
Hundred Beast Semblance: Vulture Semblance.
What he's enlightened by is, in a broad sense, a death aura.
When people wish for the death of their enemies,
and also when they prepare for their own deaths,
they give off a strong death aura.
In that case, by mimicking the vulture,
who senses the death aura of a beast and appears out of nowhere,
I should be able to attain the same power that you have.
Midou!
Damn, so I just barely made it?
Is this all I can do with a makeshift Enlightenment?
Die... Die... Midou...
Midou... look at me... die...
Midou... die... die... Midou...
Die... look at me... Midou... die...
Midou... die...
You've gotten started, huh, Makubex?
This is...
Gramps!
Damn Makubex, he's made the mother system abandon the operation
that designs the atom bomb!
So he's made intercepting the recovery service the priority.
What's going to happen?
Don't worry, those guys are strong.
They won't lose to something like a computer-created illusion.
You're soft, Makubex.
Now your reckless plan to use the atom bomb to make a deal with
the God of the Limitless Fortress is...
Wait.
Makubex, you aren't...
This is the end?!
What are ya wrinklin' your forehead for?
Fun times like this, you gotta smile, Shido.
Emishi! Kazuki, even!
Can you stand, Shido?
Heh, a lot better than you can.
But we're no match for them.
At this rate, no matter how many we defeat there's no end to 'em.
An intruder interception program...
It looks like Makubex has finally gotten serious too.
Makes no difference.
We'll do 'em well and good!
Mr. Akabane, are they relatives of yours?
No, they must be virtual beings made from my data.
Yours?
It appears that Makubex has been carefully observing our fighting
ever since we entered the Limitless Fortress, collecting data.
But still, it's odd.
The force of the virtuals' attack is too strong.
Did you abandon construction of the atom bomb, Makubex?
It's a strange feeling, chopping up myself like this.
But it's not bad.
It's really bad for me!
Dammit! The next time I turn into the Lightning Emperor,
I might really not be able to turn back to normal anymore.
But at this rate I can't go forward!
This way, Gin!
Miss Hevn!
Boy, you saved me.
You were all right, Miss Hevn?
I got through somehow.
Since I came here, I've felt more dead than alive.
And then to top things off, the person who made me feel that way suddenly appears in droves.
Hey, that reminds me, where's Ban?
Miss Hevn, didn't you see Ban on the way here?
Ah!
Ban...
Don't go spacing out, Ginji.
Ban...
Ban killed Miss Hevn!
Ban... Ban killed...
Moron! That was virtual! Ban... Ban killed...
Moron! That was virtual!
Still, be a little more hesitant about it!
Anyway, that Makubex bastard is seriously getting started, huh?
What do we do? At this rate, we won't get anywhere.
Times like this, there's no choice but to force our way through.
Let's go!
Wow...
Mr. Akabane did this by himself?
So you've come at last, Midou.
Jackal...
Makubex is right there.
You're fine, I assume?
Of course I am.
Let's go, Ginji.
Right!
The Get Backers are paying a visit!
Say your prayers, Makubex!
This is the end.
Now it's time for the deciding battle.
Ginji Amano
Makubex...
Makubex, wait! Where are you going?
Makubex!
Wait! Makubex!
Makubex!
Where am I?
A pharmacy.
I'm told it's owned by someone named Gen.
Gen? I see...
I found you passed out outside that strange room.
You're one of Makubex's group, aren't you?
If you knew that, then why?
Well, if I left a pretty girl like you alone like that there,
there's no telling what would happen to you, is there?
Thank you. You're kind.
I just hate men who are scum.
Sister? Is that you, Sister?
Juubei, you're alive.
Just barely.
Juubei, your eyes...
I threw Flying Needles at vital points all over my body.
This might be because I used Black Needles.
But really the true mystery is why I'm still alive.
What a stupid thing to do.
Sister, it looks like Makubex intends
to make the God of the Limitless Fortress flip the switch.
But! No, it can't be...
We were making Makubex shoulder everything.
If that caused him to make a mistake...
Juubei...
Do you know just where Makubex has been getting that enormous amount of data from?
Makubex said he's been hacking into Babylon City's databank.
The Archive after all then.
Gramps, what's that?
The theory behind the virtual realities Makubex uses
was also created from data he gleaned from the Archive.
He said they were different from the VRs up until now
that had used 3-D imaging and stereo sound;
that they were built on a totally new theory.
What's this?
A plan of the intelligent building abandoned before its completion
which makes up the core of the Limitless Fortress: Babylon Tower.
Perhaps you can understand what this is about.
Babylon Tower?
What does this mean?
Down to its basic structure, this is completely different from the Limitless Fortress today.
Why is something like this...
No, it can't be!
Hey, what's the deal? What are you talking about?
Say, just who are you?
Me?
I'm the root of all of this evil.
I'm the one who raised Makubex.
I ended up leading him down a mistaken path.
The path of a solitary despot.
Sister...
I'm going too.
Hey, wait! If you overdo it in that condition...
We have to go. Before things become irreparable.
I have to stop him, even at the risk of my life.
You're a real samurai, huh?
I don't know what's going on, but I have to do my job to the end too.
Sister...
Let's go, Juubei.
I'm sure Makubex is waiting for us.
Why?
Why does everyone...
Ren, your going won't help anything.
I know. I know, but...
There are this many people who can't abandon you.
Please, notice this, Makubex.
There's also a way left to end the fight without winning or losing.
We're really pathetic.
I wonder why we're still alive?
It's a total mystery.
Are these guys really virtual?
I just can't see them as anything but living people.
Yeah, you can say that again.
When I did the Birds and Beasts Semblance in the battlefield
and used my ears to look it over, I knew it was just a huge room.
But that's not what's going on with these guys.
They're exactly like real...
Obviously, this is probably virtual too.
Yeah, I mean, there I am.
I wonder if this is really the day of reckonin'? What d'ya think, Shido? Mister Kazuki?
You guys have to be jokin'.
I thought you cornered the market on jokes.
I see.
Well, let's fire ourselves up again and get goin'!
Makubex should be behind that door.
Okay!
Hiya.
Kyouji Kagami, wasn't it?
Nice to see you.
The wounds Himiko and I gave that jerk are totally healed already.
Never mind that, there's not even any blood left on him.
What the hell is going on?
Wow, who'd have thought there'd be a whole four people left?
This is a surprise.
But on the other hand, it's also a shame.
A shame?
Yes, that everything is going according to Makubex's calculations.
You're quite an odd person.
Why is someone like you from the High Floors, from Babylon City,
following a single boy from the Lower Floors this far?
I told you, I'm observing.
Why you...
Ban?
If things go according to Makubex's calculations,
you four are the only ones who will come here.
Shido Fuyuki, Threadmaster Kazuki, and the defector Haruki Emishi
are in battle with the virtual soldiers, and...
"In battle and..." what were you going to say?
Shido! Kazu! Emishi, even!
Looks like the calculations have started to go haywire, huh?
If you value your life, get out of the way, you pretentious bastard.
Just go observe it from the nosebleed seats.
What we Get Backers are really capable of, that is!
I see. Certainly this wasn't in Makubex's calculations.
Whether that was a simple careless mistake,
or a different solution is prepared ahead of us.
It looks like there are things left that I should observe too.
Now, go through.
Makubex is waiting on the other side of this door.
Ginji...
When we open this door, there's no turning back anymore.
Then let's go!
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen of the recovery service.
It's no small-time, once-in-a-thousand-years love
The sky and earth were moving for the two of us
In those days we had the power of Buddha, come back
The friendship bracelet I threw into the midwinter sea
Disappeared without making a sound
In the afternoon, the breakwater flames bright red
The waves are beautiful like spangles, aren't they?
They're this beautiful, so smile like that
Don't look back
All right, here I go
Embraced by the storm, jump from your dreams!
An island eternity crashes against like waves
Seeking an endless clear sky
The injured sea gull flies away too
A hurricane of tears
Finally, this will be the last fight.
I didn't think I'd have a reunion like this with Makubex.
Why did things turn out this way?
You can ask him that. That's why you came this far.
That's true. No matter how this ends, I'm going.
Next time: The Final Fight! Ginji vs. Makubex
Next Get Backers:
The Final Fight! Ginji vs. Makubex
I feel your sadness, Makubex.
