What are you doing here?
Weren't you guiding the Lightning Emperor?
He selected for himself the path he should go down.
What awaits at the end depends on him.
Wow, how unusual.
Ordinarily, you say everything is fated.
Has the fatalist gone out of business?
I've observed the many lives being lived in the Limitless Fortress,
and the fates being played out as well.
They are all helpless against the tide of their destinies,
and before long they fade out of existence.
But he changes the flow of that tide,
both back then and now.
People are confused by the light because they're only relying on their eyes.
I know how you're going to attack from your aura.
Because I know your aura really well.
You do, don't you?
But I doubt you can completely dodge the light.
Even if you are the Lightning Emperor,
the damage you took from me shouldn't be completely healed yet.
What do you think you can do in that condition?
Even so...
Even so, I can't give up!
On Makubex, or on you.
You really don't change.
Defeat me then.
And prove it!
Prove that you can win
even against the fate the gods of the Limitless Fortress prepared!
Masaki...
Is this the power of the Lightning Emperor?
No, I'm not the Lighting Emperor anymore.
I'm Ginji Amano of the Get Backers recovery service now.
We always get back things that have been taken.
Masaki...
When we were fighting, I never felt like you wanted to kill me.
You didn't really intend to, did you?
There must be a reason.
Why did you kidnap Makubex?
Answer me, Masaki!
It's over! We're all ready now.
I'll let Mr. Gen know!
Makubex...
Mr. Kazu...
So even you betrayed us?
I thought Mr. Kurusu was a fitting ruler for the Limitless Fortress!
I followed him because I believed in him!
And yet, for the rule of the Limitless Fortress to have not been his will...
I don't want to see him reduced to someone's puppet!
Get out of my way!
Everyone...
Everyone, disappear!
Stop it!
Ya shouldn't say such dangerous things, Mister Kanou.
Hey, brat, don't start acting stupid just because you're upset.
Emishi! Shido! Don't you guys interfere either!
Sheesh...
Ya never know what this guy's gonna do when he takes somethin' hard.
Looks like we made it in time.
Shido! Emishi!
Yo, Kazuki.
You're a teeny bit late. We've already done all the cleanin' up.
Are your wounds okay, you two?
As if we could just lie around sleeping at a time like this.
Are you okay?
Mr. Kazuki...
What's this?
Gramps told me to help too.
Please tell me. What the hell happened?
Why did you have to do something like this?
Please, Masaki!
You really don't change.
You're forthright and you're strong.
That's why everyone follows you.
Masaki...
It was to save Makubex.
What do you mean?
Makubex got much too close to the truth about the Limitless Fortress,
and the Brain Trust decided that was dangerous.
In other words, they said we should eliminate him from the equation.
Eliminate him from the equation?
Makubex is a VR created by the Archive.
If his data were erased, his existence would disappear too.
And then we'd eliminate all of the people who'd been involved in VOLTS,
both real and virtual,
and return the Limitless Fortress to an experimental site for its gods.
That's what the Brain Trust wants.
That's...
That's selfish!
People aren't alive for a reason like that!
Everyone's working hard at trying to live here!
I was against it too.
This place... I really did like them,
the ideals of VOLTS that you were trying to create.
I wanted to protect them if I could!
Masaki...
So the Brain Trust dictated terms to me.
Instead of eliminating Makubex,
I was supposed to imprison him so that he wouldn't be allowed to make any more trouble,
and I'd be the one to rule Lower Town, just like in the original plan.
So that's why you did this?
I can't be like the Lightning Emperor.
I know that better than anyone.
All I can do is keep the losses to a minimum.
You think that's the only choice?
I know full well the power of the Brain Trust.
Nothing comes of going against them.
I don't think that.
I don't care about some orders that came from I don't even know who.
It's been true and it always will be
that the ways of life of all the people who live here belong to the people who live here.
No way is it okay for other people to just decide for them.
I'll get everyone's futures back!
That's how it is.
Nothing's impossible for us Get Backers.
Ban!
Yo, looks like the fight's been settled, huh?
What about you and Mr. Akabane, Ban?
Wow, did you really win?
Ow!
The "really" part wasn't necessary!
That hurt, Ban!
Change your approach already, you dolt.
I see... Get Backers, eh?
But you're up against the gods of the Limitless Fortress.
When they get serious, there'll be no way for you to win.
That's not true, is it? In the end, those guys are human too,
even if they are posing as gods.
As long as you're human, you can't be omniscient and omnipotent.
The fact that they can't change our hearts is good proof, isn't it?
Ban...
But everything that happens here goes according to the Brain Trust's hidden agenda.
It just looks that way.
Whenever the plan goes awry,
they correct for it and make you think that was the plan from the start.
In the end, the gods are paper tigers.
No matter how perfect the program is, there's always a bug that shows up.
Just like we did.
Wouldn't it be okay to give a shot at believing?
In the Ginji Amano you guys all acknowledged, that is.
Ban...
So, shall we go pick up computer boy?
Let's go, Masaki.
Ginji?
I want you to come and see that there definitely is a future,
both for you and for Makubex.
Mr. Ginji!
We came to pick you up, Makubex.
Let's go home together.
No, I can't. It's too late now.
You didn't do anything stupid, did you?!
I can't expose everyone to any more danger for the sake of my existence.
Makubex!
You're not erasing your own data, are you?!
If I disappear, the Brain Trust will probably decide that the threat has gone away.
If that happens, at least we'll get along without involving the people of Lower Town.
I'll leave the rest to you, Mr. Ginji.
What I couldn't accomplish,
true release from the gods of the Limitless Fortress,
Mr. Masaki, help Mr. Ginji do it someday.
Makubex...
Makubex! Why?!
Dammit, how dare you jump the gun like that?
Trying to look cool by making yourself the only sacrifice is being cheeky!
Are we in time?
Ban, the word is that everything's ready on this end.
Himiko?!
Is it okay for you to be moving?
Never mind me! There's no time, am I right?
Yeah...
Anyway, the word is that we're ready whenever.
Okay!
Ban...
There's nothing we can't get back.
We'll prove that to you.
Ginji, do it well and good.
Got it.
Mr. Ginji...
I'll save you for sure, Makubex.
Ginji...
Believe in him.
The Lightning Emperor...
What good does this do?!
Even if you destroy the Archive now,
the Brain Trust will make a new Archive right away.
They'll just create a new virtual reality.
And all of Makubex's data has disappeared.
So the emergency power's kicked in?
Well, the Limitless Fortress wouldn't be brought down that easily after all.
Mr. Ginji...
Welcome home, Makubex.
Yo, computer boy. Looks like there are no problems.
How? My data should be gone.
We helped ourselves to your program.
See, we heard that you were trying to transfer all of the data for
the virtual part of Lower Town from this Archive onto your own computer.
That task was almost finished, so the old man took it over and completed it.
How did it turn out?
It was a success. All the data's been restored.
By doing this, we were able to totally separate it from the Archive.
My mother computer was destroyed, wasn't it?
Where in the world did he...
We made a backup outside the Limitless Fortress.
Luckily, we had someone who specializes in that stuff.
Now the gods of the Limitless Fortress... no, the Brain Trust,
no longer controls the people of Lower Town.
And Makubex, you're free too of course.
Mr. Ginji!
How about it? This is the true power of the Get Backers.
You're right.
You guys just might be able to do it.
You might be able to get hold of the Limitless Fortress' true future
that was stolen by the Brain Trust.
You'll fight for that too, Masaki.
Mr. Teshimine!
You have the right to decide your own future too.
The right to fight for it and win it.
You're right. Maybe I was running away.
Mr. Teshimine...
Mr. Teshimine, are you all right?
Yeah, you did a good job.
We made it on time.
Hey, are you okay?!
Her fever's risen. Paul, carry her upstairs.
Right...
Welcome!
But you see, the Master isn't here right now, so...
Natsumi, get some wet towels ready.
You're...
Now Lower Town will be saved from the influence of the Brain Trust.
Yeah...
I did cruel things to everyone.
It doesn't matter anymore,
because I understand the pain you felt.
Mr. Kazuki...
If the memories are too much of a burden for you,
Makubex could probably erase them if you asked him to.
No, I don't want to forget that I met you and the others.
Ren...
I'll go on living as myself here in the Limitless Fortress.
Wait.
Kakei...
Where do you intend to go, Uryuu?
It's best if I'm not here.
No, you're needed here.
There needs to be people to go on protecting the Limitless Fortress.
With us.
Toshiki...
Kazuki...
So, with that we recovered Makubex safely and all, so let's celeb...
Ow...
Don't overdo it, Emishi.
You're the last person I wanna hear that from, Shido.
Oh, how do you feel?
I...
The Seal is...
She came, erased it and left.
I see.
Kaoru...
Welcome home, Ren.
I'm home, Gramps!
How impressive that you got here. This is the end of the Beltline.
And it's the entrance to Babylon City.
Do you jerks always just manipulate people and then stand by and watch?
Scram before you can't hide behind that door anymore.
I'm just an observer.
It's no fun if I don't watch from nearby, is it?
It looks like you've arrived at a different answer, Masaki Kurusu.
I won't be going back there anymore.
That is also a path that you chose for yourself.
And Lightning Emperor, you should go as well.
I'll walk the path I've chosen, whether or not you tell me to.
I should hope so.
Because if you all struggle and fight to your utmost,
what I get to see will be that much more interesting.
Get ready. Someday we're going to yank you out of there.
I'll be eagerly waiting for you.
Ginji Amano is a bug that showed up in the huge program called the Limitless Fortress.
No, perhaps he has existed here from the beginning.
Could that be a warning meant for us, those who purport to be gods?
With the fee for using the super computer and everything else, the total comes to 300,000.
I'll put it on your tab, you guys.
Sorry, Master.
Dammit, and I was going to squeeze a huge fee out of Makubex too.
Now we're way in the red!
But we couldn't accept that much from a friend.
I said no giving him a discount, didn't I?!
That hurts, Ban!
I told you to change your approach, you dolt!
I will! I'll change it!
Welcome! I will! I'll change it!
Welcome! I'll change it!
Oh, Miss Hevn! I'll change it!
Oh, Miss Hevn!
There you are, recovery service.
I've got an assignment.
And it's a really good one.
Let's gather up the tears and give them back to the night sky
Let's go, Ginji! Let's gather up the tears and give them back to the night sky
Let's go, Ginji! Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust
Right, Ban! 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
If we don't try it, we'll never know
Right now, will begin it
If we gather a little bit of radiance
We can go anywhere
What kind of tomorrow shall I dream about tonight?
