[00:47] R
    The Willwear that broke the Itabashi
    Ward's convenience store windows
[00:49] R
    is on the move near
    Nishi-Takashimadaira Station.
[00:52] E
    And Chiyoda and Shinagawa Wards?
[00:54] H
    Wait.
[00:55] H
    I just got word from Funabashi and Matsudo.
[00:58] F
    Um, we're getting requests for help from
[01:00] F
    Higashiyamato and Warabi, too.
[01:02] R
    Why is all this happening at once?
[01:05] S
    They're appearing in different spots
    and doing different things.
[01:07] K
    Where's the video?
[01:08] K
    We don't have video from anywhere yet?
[01:10] H
    Everyone's in a panic.
[01:13] Gu
    Is this crime being done by a team?
[01:15] F
    Boss?
[01:16] F
    Which track should the command vehicle use?
[01:18] R
    Um...
[01:19] R
    We'll start by going to the special
    standby platform in Kichijouji.
[01:23] K
    We'll all head out at once.
[01:25] K
    But...
[01:26] H
    We don't have enough people, do we?
[01:33] Intro
    In the future,
[01:35] K
    when something happens beyond
    the normal police's capacity,
[01:38] K
    they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.
[01:43] K
    This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE,
    the Third Mobile Assault Unit.

    Connection Approved
[03:10] F
    Take them in the order they came in?
[03:11] R
    Yes.
[03:12] R
    We'll just have to let the local police
    handle it until we arrive.
[03:16] R
    Let's just have everyone prepare
    to launch, starting with Oscar I.
[03:19] S
    Understood.
[03:21] Gu
    Kenzou-san, start heading back.
[03:23] Gu
    Unit 8 is coming.
[03:25] Gu
    Kogure-kun, get out of there in three minutes.
[03:27] Gu
    And...
[03:34] K
    Where's the criminal?
[03:35] Gu
    You're late!
[03:37] Gu
    What are you doing?
[03:39] Gu
    He already ran!
[03:40] K
    H-He ran?
[03:42] R
    Oscar II, is your criminal still there?
[03:45] K
    Wait, you too, Oscar V?
[03:47] R
    Yeah.
[03:48] R
    It's the same with everyone.
[03:49] R
    We all missed them.
[03:51] K
    Damn!
[03:52] K
    It's like they knew when we'd get here!
[04:02] Gi
    That's from the incident before, right?
[04:05] Gi
    What did they want to accomplish?
[04:07] Gi
    Who cares? Let's go.
[04:10] Gi
    Chiiko's concert is going to start!
[04:23] Gi
    What is this?
[04:25] Gi
    Are live clubs usually like this?
[04:29] Gi
    Chiiko's might be a little special.
[04:46] Gi
    The children die with their guts ripped out.
[04:53] Gi
    Once again, the world is covered
    in blood, beneath the blue sky.

[04:59] R
    Is that Chiiko?
[05:01] Gi
    Yeah, her name's Mibu Chiiko,
    so her stage name is Mivv.
[05:01] Gi
    But you useless pigs just do
[05:08] Gi
    what those bastards in
    the system tell you to.

[05:10] Gi
    Crazy, isn't it?
[05:11] Gi
    Nothing like when she was in school!
[05:15] Gi
    Kiss my ass.
[05:17] Gi
    The world is full of shit,
[05:23] Gi
    but at least I can wrap myself
    in your intestines!

[05:31] Gi
    Just slice your belly open, yank out
    your organs, and throw them away.

[05:33] Gi
    Slice it open!
[05:37] Gi
    Throw them away!
[05:38] Gi
    You can be the real you.
[05:47] Gi
    Hinata?
[05:49] Gi
    Hinata?!
[05:53] Gu
    There were more simultaneous Willwear crimes

    Willwear Crimes

SIGN    Your Morning Show
[05:57] Gu
    just a while ago, I heard.
[05:59] Gu
    Yes, a Willwear carrying a fire extinguisher
[06:02] Gu
    sprayed foam everywhere, for instance.
[06:04] Gu
    Well, I hate to say it,
[06:07] Gu
    but these are all small-scale crimes.
[06:09] Gu
    In one Machida case, they rang
    a doorbell and ran away.
[06:13] Gu
    The problem is how useless Unit 8 is, though.
[06:17] Gu
    They've always arrived too late,
    and haven't caught a single one.
[06:20] K
    Damn them!
[06:21] K
    They don't have a clue.
[06:23] E
    But it's not as if they're
    giving false information.
[06:28] H
    What are they after?
[06:29] S
    Maybe society-wide unrest.
[06:31] S
    It's like they just want to shake up the system.
[06:37] H
    If we could capture even one,
    we might get somewhere.
[06:41] E
    If only we could get there
    first and set an ambush...
[06:44] R
    That's it!
[06:50] R
    Huh? I...
[06:55] Gi
    I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
[06:58] R
    Chiiko?
[07:00] R
    That's...
[07:01] Gi
    Was that a little too much?
[07:03] R
    Well, I mean, it...
[07:06] R
    It was great!
[07:07] R
    Just like Hell.
[07:09] Gi
    Well, this is normal.

    The Tokyo government isn't interested
    in anything without precedent.
[07:59] R
    No way!
[08:00] R
    Man, that's bureaucrats for you.
[08:02] R
    Fine, I guess we'll talk to Inagi-kun.
[08:04] S
    It's pretty handy to have
    the governor on speed dial.
[08:07] M
    U-Um, he's the one against it, supposedly.
[08:12] K
    Inagi-san is? Why?
[08:14] M
    I wasn't told why.
[08:19] R
    I remember now. That guy...
[08:21] R
    Wasn't he Mivv's manager?
[08:22] R
    Do you know him?
[08:24] Gi
    His name's Kondou-san, I think.
[08:26] Gi
    He's two years older.
[08:27] Gi
    He was famous for extreme political actions.
[08:31] R
    He was a student at our school?
[08:33] R
    Yeah.
[08:39] K
    Trying to reach Inagi-san?
[08:41] R
    He's not picking up.
[08:42] K
    Well, he's the governor.
[08:44] K
    He must be busy.
[08:45] R
    I'm sure.
[08:47] R
    But I wonder if there's some reason.
[08:50] K
    He probably isn't opposed to the
    idea for personal reasons.
[08:53] R
    We don't know that.
[08:56] R
    Haven't you heard people say that the
    Tokyo government does too much,
[08:59] R
    and the opposing factions are
    starting to come together?
[09:02] K
    So he's opposed out of self-preservation?
[09:05] K
    No way. Not Inagi-san.
[09:07] R
    You really trust Inagi-kun, huh?
[09:10] K
    Honestly, I owe him a lot.
[09:14] S
    Why must I take out the trash for people
    who are too lazy to do it themselves?
[09:18] R
    You really like Inagi-kun.
[09:22] R
    Did something happen a long time ago?
[09:24] ---
    Well...
[09:26] K
    I got involved in something really stupid once.
[09:32] Gu
    What is this, Kuroki?
[09:34] Gu
    I thought you were joining our gang.
[09:37] Gu
    So what are you doing with them?
[09:40] K
    You said you were going to hurt them.
[09:42] ---
    They snitched to the cops on us.
[09:47] K
    Because you were causing a ruckus near them.
[09:49] Gu
    They're orphans! They don't
    have the right to complain.
[09:53] Gu
    Our tax money feeds them!
[10:00] K
    This isn't cool.
[10:04] K
    You guys...
[10:06] K
    You don't even pay taxes, do you?
[10:08] Gu
    What are you trying to say?
[10:10] K
    That your gang is shit,
[10:12] K
    and I'm glad I didn't join it!
[10:16] Gu
    You bastard!
[10:18] Gu
    Jackass!
[10:21] Gu
    Take this!
[10:28] Gu
    Don't move, Kuroki!
[10:32] Gu
    Think you can get away with that?
[10:34] Gu
    Get him!
[10:36] Gu
    You're dead!
[10:46] Gu
    Show us how cool you can be.
[10:48] Gu
    I wonder how much you can take.
[11:03] Gu
    What's with those eyes?
[11:05] Gu
    Don't screw with me!
[11:11] K
    I wasn't a good kid back then.
[11:15] K
    Even so, I couldn't stand bullying.
[11:19] K
    But I didn't really think things through.
[11:24] ---
    Huh?
[11:25] Gu
    Who the hell are you?
[11:29] K
    And then he came.
[11:37] Gu
    Who are you?
[11:43] K
    He was teaching a lesson
[11:45] K
    to people who dearly needed one.
[11:49] K
    But he was naturally so brutal.
[11:51] K
    To be honest, I was scared.
[11:57] K
    Um—
[11:58] I
    You...
[11:59] I
    Which are you?
[12:06] I
    You're famous around here, aren't you?
[12:10] I
    Don't worry. It's not broken.
[12:12] K
    It doesn't matter!
[12:13] K
    It hurts!
[12:15] I
    I'll take you to the hospital now.
[12:17] I
    So answer me.
[12:18] I
    Which path will you take?
[12:23] K
    After that, whenever something
    happened, he'd beat me up.
[12:26] K
    But he also looked out for me.
[12:29] K
    He was always telling me to
    study or learn martial arts.
[12:32] K
    The next thing I knew, I was a policeman.
[12:33] ---
    Oh?
[12:35] K
    The day I got my commission, he gave me this.
SIGN    Knight
[12:38] K
    He said he special-ordered it.
[12:41] K
    He's kinda weird, huh?
[12:42] S
    That actually happened?
[12:44] E
    Oh?
[12:45] ---
    H-Huh?
[12:46] R
    But I don't know...
[12:48] R
    Hearing that makes it harder
    for me to contact him.
[12:51] R
    It's not good for
[12:52] R
    an officer to contact the governor
    whenever she needs something.
[12:57] R
    Of course! We have...
[12:59] R
    a civilian who doesn't need permission.
[13:02] ---
    Huh?
[13:02] E
    Ready to work?
[13:10] Gu
    Yo! I'm comin' at ya, shitbags!
[13:15] Gu
    We're Senars, Inc., your one-stop source
    for trash pickup, sorting, cleaning,
[13:18] Gu
    and banging your mom!

    or your filthy company!

    Excuse me, trash lady!

    Oh, good...

    I couldn't get it ready by pickup time.

[13:35] S
    Thank you.
[13:38] Gi
    Boss, are we really getting paid for this?
[13:42] S
    Don't worry. Just focus on driving safely.
[13:46] R
    There's no issue with a civilian
    agent using a Willwear,
[13:49] R
    and criminals won't be looking out for one.
[13:52] H
    The problem is that there's
    no one to relieve them.
[13:55] K
    I hope we can find a pattern in the
    dates and times of the incidents.
[13:59] H
    I couldn't find any particular pattern

[14:14] Gu
    Kakiya, you take Izumi.
[14:17] Gu
    Okay. Now, listen up.
[14:19] Gu
    We'll calculate the time it
    takes for Unit 8 to arrive.
[14:23] Gu
    Make sure to withdraw when told to.
[14:25] Gu
    We know that.
[14:27] Gu
    But Willwears are harder
    to use than I expected.
[14:30] Gu
    Yeah, my legs swell up and get stiff.
[14:33] Gu
    You're being properly compensated.
[14:35] Gu
    Right, right.
[14:36] Gu
    But this time, let Mivv-chan
    and me get a little more.
[14:40] Gu
    Kenzou-san, you're too aggressive.
[14:43] Gu
    Drawing a clear line between idol
    and fan is much more fun.
[14:46] Gu
    Shut up!
[14:49] Gi
    Everyone, thanks for coming again today!
[14:54] Gu
    Be grateful to all of them.
[14:56] Gu
    They're doing it for you.
[14:59] Gi
    Kondou-san, a moment?
[15:02] Gi
    Next time, can I sing this?
[15:05] Gi
    I wrote some lyrics.
[15:06] Gu
    Too normal.
[15:08] Gu
    I'm writing some good ones now.
[15:10] Gi
    Normal isn't good enough?
[15:12] Gi
    I want to sing something honest.
[15:14] Gu
    You've tried a cute one, a bullied one,
    a big eater, a military otaku...
[15:17] Gu
    And all those characters failed.
[15:20] Gu
    You need songs that make you stand out.
[15:23] Gi
    But what are you doing now?
[15:24] Gi
    Don't use my fans for weird stuff.
[15:27] Gu
    Weird stuff?
[15:28] Gu
    Don't be stupid!
[15:29] Gu
    This is our chance to change the
    corrupt city government!
[15:32] Gu
    We'll ruin Tokyo's law and order...
[15:34] Gi
    But it feels like someone's using you.
[15:39] Gi
    Where did you get those
    Willwears everyone's using?
[15:42] Gi
    And if you get caught—
[15:44] Gu
    They're misdemeanors.
[15:46] Gu
    They'll get off easy.
[15:48] Gu
    Listen, it's going well because
    I'm running things, right?
[15:51] Gu
    So keep your mouth shut.

    What's this?
[16:36] Gi
    Oh, remember? I told you about it.
[16:38] Gi
    It's a schedule for a friend's
    concerts and events.

    It's amazing! If you saw...

[17:16] R
    Sorry, I asked him to.
[17:19] M
    Why?
[17:20] M
    Weren't we going to try a different way?
[17:23] R
    That's yesterday's plan, but I found
    something that might work.
[17:26] Gi
    You're always such a big help.
[17:28] Gi
    I was surprised at first, though.
[17:29] S
    Aw...
[17:31] Gi
    We actually hold on to our trash and
    save it for when you come through.
[17:36] Gi
    Micchii-san was saying the same thing!
[17:38] Gi
    You know, from Baba-san's place.
[17:41] S
    Baba?!
[17:42] Gi
    Hey, boss, did you poop your pants?
[17:44] S
    I knew it!
[17:45] R
    Four places are requesting aid.
[17:47] R
    Yoyogi is the closest to Oscar I.
[17:50] S
    What are they doing?
[17:51] R
    Apparently, spreading trash everywhere.
[17:54] S
    Trash?!
[17:58] Gu
    There!
[18:02] R
    All the crimes are occurring several hours
[18:05] R
    after Hinata's friend's concerts or events.
[18:08] R
    And today was a morning concert.
[18:10] K
    The guys at the events are the criminals?
[18:13] E
    That means the mastermind might be
    involved with the concert, as well?
[18:16] E

    Unit 8 will be there in five minutes.
[18:21] Gu
    Time to go.

    Got it.

    H-How?
[18:33] Gu
    Hey! Unit 8 is already here!
[18:35] Gu
    What?
[18:36] S
    I'm with Senars, Inc., a civilian company
    cooperating with the police.
[18:40] S
    Please pick up the trash
    you scattered everywhere.
[18:44] S
    How dare you—
[18:45] Gu
    You want trash?!
[18:48] S
    Why...
[18:50] S
    Why can't you understand
[18:52] S
    how hard the locals worked
[18:54] S
    to pick all this garbage up from the street?

    Why don't you try to understand, you lowlife?!

[19:22] S
    Die!
[19:24] gi
    Boss!
[19:26] gi
    You trying to kill him, you dkhead?!
[19:41] R**
    We haven't located the mastermind,
SIGN    Name: Unknown Birthplace: Miyagi Job: Employment/School: Kouki Education
[19:44] R
    a man named Kondou.
[19:45] R
    There's a good chance he fled the country.
[19:48] E
    Did we learn his goal?
[19:50] E
    Why would he do something so crazy?
[19:53] R
    His aim was to disrupt law and order,
[19:56] R
    and damage the people's faith
    in the city government.
[19:58] F
    Seriously?
[20:00] K
    Looks like it.
[20:01] K
    He's been doing political stuff
    like this since high school.
[20:05] K
    And he doesn't like the Inagi administration.
[20:07] Gu
    But where did he get all the Willwears?
[20:11] S
    What about the one I caught?
[20:13] Gu
    The man you almost killed was
    Umegatani Kenzou, age 46.
SIGN    Name: Umegatani Kenzou
    
    Birthplace: Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture
    
    Job: CG Animator
    
    Employment/School: Grape Doumu, Inc.
[20:17] Sign
    He was a CG animator, single.
[20:19] Sign
    They made him think he could get closer
    to the underground idol Mivv
[20:23] Sign
    and convinced him to participate in the crimes.
[20:26] M
    Just for something like that?
[20:28] H
    I guess once he started, he couldn't stop.
[20:31] F
    Everyone has their own set of values.
[20:35] [Messenger] R
    Inagi Koutaro
    
    Calling
[20:36] R
    Inagi-kun?
[20:38] I
    Sorry I couldn't take your call.
[20:41] I
    I was busy dealing with the Diet.
[20:43] I
    I didn't have any way to judge
    whether your idea was good.
[20:47] R
    No, I'm sorry.
[20:49] R
    I called you again and again.
[20:51] R
    I think it was really arrogant.
[20:53] I
    Not at all.
[20:54] I
    But you made the right call.
[20:57] I
    It really helped.
[20:57] ---
    Huh?
[20:59] I
    Sena-kun, the civilian cooperator,
    solved the case.
[21:02] I
    It's a big accomplishment for us
    to boast about. Thanks. Bye.
[21:08] K
    So, it all worked out for Inagi-san, huh?
[21:11] R
    I guess so.
[21:12] R
    Now all that's left is the person behind it.
[21:15] K
    Think it's Hachijou?
[21:17] R
    Who knows?
[21:18] K
    Either way,
[21:19] K
    this Kondou guy was just being used.
[21:23] R
    Mivv was the one who was really being used.
[21:26] R
    She's Hinata's friend.
[21:28] R
    They acted like she was special and used her...
[21:30] K
    Acted like she was special, huh?
[21:35] R
    I hope she recovers...

    Yeah.
[21:48] Gi
    Chiiko?
[21:49] Gu
    I'm glad you're doing better, Mivv-chan!
[21:52] Gi
    You, too! I'm glad you were released!
[21:55] Gu
    A few of us are still in jail.
[21:58] Gu
    Mivv-chan, we'll support you
    with your next character!
[22:02] Gi
    Kondou-san...
[22:04] Gi
    Maybe I was used for your dream.
[22:08] Gi
    But I will use
[22:11] Gi
    the opportunity you gave me.
[22:15] Gi
    Thank you, Terrorist-san!
