"Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit"
"File.12" "From Zero to Seven" I was told to find my own justice.
"File.12" "From Zero to Seven" But should I live studiously?
"File.12" "From Zero to Seven" Should I unflinchingly reject evil?
"File.12" "From Zero to Seven" Should I fight? Should I win?
"File.12" "From Zero to Seven" I don't know.
What is justice, I wonder?
Still... I'm going to stop this guy!
Showtime!
Damn it. I can't even hit a target that huge.
Sorry we're late. Here I go!
Shikisai! Follow my lead!
Right!
It's tough.
As if you could ever beat a dragon!
How about this?!
It's working?!
Guess again!
We're different species, you and I!
Dragons are the rulers of this world!
Every last one of you is inferior!
We're not done yet!
If we break, and break, and keep breaking it, we can beat him!
I'll smash it ten thousand times, if that's what it takes!
Are you watching, you pieces of shit all over the world?!
Do you see my dragon power?!
His voice is giving me a headache.
Think. He's a dragon.
The faith of Nine's members is the source of his power,
and he's trying to spread it all over the world.
That means we need to take that faith away.
The question is how.
I hope you're not slacking off.
I'm goofing off with a dragon.
Yes, I can see you from here.
I'm taking a breather.
There's no time, so I'll make this brief.
Bring Warlock to the park below you.
I'll trust you.
Thank you.
I don't think your life is in danger.
Thank you.
What strength...
Which side do you mean?
Both of them.
Warlock is, well, powerful.
He's stolen the power of dragons and he wants the faith of humans to get even stronger.
Then, we...
But Special 7 still doesn't fear him.
I have fine comrades.
Belle! Get over here!
What is it?
I want you to use your drones to evacuate the residents around the park.
Can you do it?
I'll do it!
This is the police.
There are, umm, bombs or something planted all over this area!
All civilians, please evacuate at once, okay?
I hacked into the traffic light control system and set all the lights around this area to red.
Good work.
But how does this help us?
Rookie!
Force Warlock to move to the park!
How?!
Use dragon power and figure something out!
There are things I can do and things I can't!
Just do it!
Fine. Understood!
You don't know when to quit!
Try all you like, it won't--
You're a funny one.
Trying to shield your friends?
But you know, it's only a matter of time.
It's the start of round two.
Now, die.
I'll say it as many times as it takes.
You are under arrest!
All right, he did it.
But what do we do now?
We've got to get down there. I really don't want to, but let's run.
Wait!
You two can ride on these!
Seriously?
Seriously!
Is this really going to work?
My calculations say it will!
Wait, Belle!
Recently, I've put on a little--
That was something else, Belle.
I am a ninja, after all!
In that case, I'll live up to my code name and back them up from here.
Have some of this.
I'm not beaten yet!
For someone who hasn't got a chance, you sure are persistent.
I do have a chance! Boss said so!
You believe that old fool?
Of course I do!
I believe in him, in my comrades, and most of all, in justice!
Justice is on my side.
Might makes right.
And as long as I'm a dragon... I am justice!
Maybe so.
Your justice might be right, too.
But I refuse to accept it.
All right, then, evil is just as good.
It doesn't change the fact that I'm a ruler and you're a slave.
You're saying you control the world?
Yes.
Yes, I am.
The world is mine!
This whole world belongs to me!
We humans can't give an answer as easily as you.
That's why we always have to think about justice.
I'm not mature enough to give an answer yet.
But right now... stopping you is the right thing to do!
You got that right.
Hey, Warlock, you just said you control this world, didn't you?
Yes. It's the truth.
No, you're wrong.
Not a single thing in this world is under your control.
You're a funny one.
So, what don't I control?
Humans.
You think you control and rule humans, but that's just your misunderstanding.
What do you mean?
Isn't that right?!
What? Hey!
That's...
I came to keep my promise.
You're late.
But you're...
Dead? I'm sure you thought so.
You figured that even if he wasn't, he wouldn't defy you, right?
So what?
What difference does it make? Well?!
A single lowly human...!
You may be a dragon.
You may be a superior species.
But you're a failure as a dragon.
What did you say?
You can't exist without human faith.
And yet, you kill humans, use them however you like, and look down on them.
See the contradiction?
What contradiction?
Are you sure you're not jealous of humans?
You brainwashed that man standing there.
Did you enjoying having a man with a strong sense of justice serve you?
But that pleasure was born from jealousy.
It was just your jealous desire to make him fall as low as you.
Jealous? Me?
Nonsense!
Look at that.
You're just a tiny creature frightened and jealous of humans.
I'll... kill you.
That anger comes from fear. What do you know?
You're so human, you're easy to read.
Damn you!
Everybody ready?
We're good to go, Ichinose.
Hit.
Got you!
Little pest!
Belle!
This ninja is joining the fight!
Your precious dragon is crumbling, you know?
Pitiful humans!
Don't piss me off!
Secured!
Get... off me.
I'll never let you escape!
As if I'd try to escape!
Hey, Mizuma!
Kill them all! That's an order!
I refuse.
I crushed your spirit!
Even if they're broken, people can still get back on their feet.
Don't talk nonsense!
That's impossible!
No, it is possible!
That's what it means to be human!
Follow my lead, Rookie.
Right!
Aim.
And fire!
It hit!
That's one shot I wouldn't miss.
Impossible. This can't be happening!
Why is it vanishing?
Why is my power vanishing?!
Why?!
You lose.
What?
What's... happening? That's funny...
How does this make sense?!
It's over, Warlock.
Give up.
No matter what you are, we'll never submit to you again.
Didn't I tell you? You can't beat humans.
To mere humans...?
That's not...
Tell me, Warlock, why did you flinch from a mere human?
Because he broke free of your brainwashing and stood up to you?
Damn you all!
Give me power! Give me faith!
I have the power you want! I'm a dragon!
I'm... superior to humans!
So, why...?
Humans learned to live without us a long time ago.
Nonsense.
What's his power, then?
Without a dragon's power, he couldn't even have fought me!
That may be.
But... if you've lost your power, then I don't need mine, either.
One day, this power will cease to be just.
A human's power is enough for me.
You fool!
Huh?
Why?
Why won't it activate?!
No one believes in you anymore.
You aren't able to believe in yourself anymore, either.
N-Nonsense... Non...
Rookie.
Kill me. Kill me!
No. We won't kill you.
You're going to be arrested as a human and sentenced as a human.
The time is 5:14 PM.
You are under arrest.
Why, you...
Take them off! Take them off me!
These things won't...
Damn! Damn!
Damn it all!
Now, come with us.
Thank you very much for saving me.
Umm...
It's over.
Hey, it's been nine years. Don't you want to catch up with old friends?
Unfortunately, I haven't got time.
If your back to being yourself, atone for your crimes.
Extenuating circumstances should count for something.
I may be myself again, but I can't make my crimes or scars go away.
I've done... unforgivable things.
You're wrong! That wasn't you!
I'm not wrong, Ichinose.
That's the truth.
I'll carry the weight of my crimes.
I don't plan to let anyone else carry them for me.
Not even your partner?
Ex-partner.
You already have a new partner, one who's almost too good for you.
I know how you are.
This is for Nijo, isn't it?
If you're arrested, it will cause trouble for him.
I'm just doing this for myself.
You'll be crushed under the weight of your crimes.
That's not true, Ichinose.
All of you are here to see justice done for me.
Knowing that is enough to keep me alive.
You're talking about a life of never-ending regret!
You'll get nothing! It's too much!
You finally, finally made it back!
No, I was rewarded.
One good police officer was born. That's good enough for me.
Have you decided on your next job?
No idea.
But I'll find my own justice and I'll stick to it.
Is that different from a cop's justice?
It's similar, but not the same.
But it's what I can believe is right.
See you around.
Yeah, see you.
Oh, that's right. You can see through lies.
I wish I couldn't.
You're no good at lying.
You were a wonderful officer, Detective Mizuma.
It was an honor to work with you, Detective Ichinose.
Ichinose!
Where is my brother... I mean, Luka Mizuma?
He's gone. Vanished into thin air.
He did it for you.
I know that!
I know it, but...!
You'd do the same in his place.
You two really are brothers.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Let's.
Tokyo--no, the world--may have been on the brink of ruin.
The man called Warlock was a real dragon and he did have the power to grant wishes.
It wasn't that we beat him, it was that humanity as a whole overcame him.
That's what Ichinose said.
Warlock refuses to speak now.
He'll probably stay that way forever.
No one remembered his words that supposedly resounded throughout Tokyo.
It's probably because Warlock's power is gone.
Well, if there's no fuss, that's for the best.
It was just a drone to start with, so if we swap out parts...
Will it be all right?
I'm quite fond of it.
It will be fine.
I'll also make it so it can fly three times as fast!
Don't paint it red or anything, all right?
"Darling: Want to go out for dinner? It's been a while."
Huh? What'd you say?
I said I'm going to a movie with a friend, so eat dinner on your own!
What?! Hey!
Don't tell me that "friend" is a boyfriend!
"Letter of Resignation"
We're still here, the same as ever.
You'll be leaving Japan for a while.
Can you speak English or Chinese?
Well enough.
That's your name.
That was an odd request.
A name with a "seven" in it.
As long as I have this number, I can live anywhere.
It's just too peaceful.
Because we took care of things.
I wonder if we'll be busy again before long.
We won't. I'm going to take it easy from now on.
You've got a long time before retirement.
My motto is "less and longer."
That's news to me! I assumed it was "less and less."
So I'm just going to waste away?
Nanatsuki, please stop slacking off and get to work.
You don't want to be a failure of an adult like Ichinose, do you?
He's talking trash about you, you know.
Oh! We've got a murder!
If Nine's not involved, it's out of our jurisdiction.
About that...
It appears this is one of ours.
Warlock may be gone,
but the terrorism he perpetrated to regain his dragon power isn't,
and there are humans who don't know when to quit.
We know how frightening humans can be when they get greedy.
Special 7, move out.
Thank goodness, we've still got work to do!
I don't like it, but I'm a little relieved.
It means it's too soon to retire.
Belle, stay here and gather intelligence as usual.
You got it!
Shikisai, Gramps, go find out what the victim's family has to say.
Understood.
I'll gather witness accounts from the area around the crime scene!
We'll investigate the scene.
Right!
All right, let's go...
...partner.
Yes, sir!
Seiji Nanatsuki, Special 7.
I will accompany you!
