P. 10 :narrative
There came a great trial from Those that created the Earth.
The things left alive crawling on the hell of the Earth were given the right of Creation. Man's greatest challenge is then to create a better world.
(hands reaching to the heavens)
Existence, Extinction, Evolution, Development.
(images of the stages of evolution from fish to humans at war)
The creation of a new life,
(human embryo)
The creation of a new future...
(odd shape--the Archive?)
So, let's begin...
P. 11-12
...THE OGRE BATTLE!
(Ban punching Ginji across the 2-page spread.)
All is in the hands of fate--there can only be one victor!
P. 13 Sarai
What a fearsome strike.
Paul
Ban is totally serious about this, his attack was strong...
Teshimine
If the opponent wasn't Ginji, that shot would have obliterated him.
Ginji
Ban...chan
Ban
Let's get it started, Ginji... the "Ogre Battle!"
(Ban eye is glowing)
Ginji
!!
Why? Why musty I fight with YOU, Ban-chan!
P. 14 Maria
Ban! You are being too lenient!!
Himiko
Why aren't you stopping them, Maria-san?
Maria
God sought to originally create a uniform world, without free will or choice. In order to oppose such oppression an Angel stood in opposition to god, and for his deeds, for creating balance in the world he was cast into Hell. God called that fallen angel the Devil.
(speaking to Ban)
You, were born into this world in order to bring a crushing blow to this new 'God'. You who are the sole bearer of the hand of the Devil and the eyes of the Jagan... must crush the oppression of this 'God'!
Ginji
Ban-chan...!!
S-stop it, Ban-chan..
Ban
(Ban's right hand transforms into dragon hand)
Come on... Ginji!!
Ginji (desperate)
Ban-chan...!!
Pg 15 :Maria
(narrating while Ban strikes Ginji with his giant hand)
This battle is a holy battle!
The winner will gain ultimate power in his hand... the loser will lose - everything.
The entire future of the world hangs on this "Ogre Battle"...This is Armageddon.
Himiko
Armageddon?
Teshimine
( Ban is mercilessly attacking Ginji)
??
Pg 16 : Teshimine
Ginji...what are you doing!?
Take down the Devil with your... your power!
You want the world to be come an ideal world, a beautiful Utopia don't you?!
Ginji
(collapsed on the floor) The.. Devil.
Teshimine
Fight! Don't show mercy to the Devil! Are you really going to let yourself be killed and leave the world to the Devil? You're going to let your mother's will be for nothing?
(Ginji still on the floor, bleeding)
Ban:
Ginji, stand up.
(Ginji doesn't get up, ban speaks almost gently)
The Raitei has disappeared. There's no place you can run from reality that is right in front of your eyes.
Give it your all, Ginji.
With all of your power.... Fight me!
Pg 17 :Ginji
Ban-chan.... I can't do it, I can't fight you...
Ban
(Ban picks Ginji up with one hand on his shoulder)
I see...
Himiko
Ban... (smiling in premature relief)
(Ban hits Ginji with his claw hand. Himiko screams and Ginji falls to the ground, dripping blood)
Pg 18: Ban
Do you.. really want to die here?
(punches Ginji again, sends him flying)
Paul
... (closes eyes in pain)
Ban
Why are you not looking, Paul?
Aren't you are a fucking judge?
Well then, do your job and see this out until the end.
Paul
Dammit, Ban...
Ginji
Paul-san...
Pg 19 : Paul
I'll see this to the end for you, Ginji. Your battle...
Ginji
My... battle...?
Paul
Didn't you always want to become stronger, Ginji? You have always admired Ban's "strength," haven't you? Are you're really not going to do anything and just let it end in defeat like this?
Ginji
...
Paul
Show me, Ginji.
Show me the "strength" that you have been trying to achieve.
Pg 20 (Flashbacks through the series of Ban and Ginji's meeting.)
Ban : So, you are the lightning punk...
Raitei/Ginji : Is that guy.... not afraid to die?
Ban : If you don't want to go back to the Infinity Fortress, follow me. You can leave the Raitei in Infinity Fortress.
Ryuji (old man with hat to Ginji) : To me the past is not something tp retrieve... its something to atone for.
Ban (to dying homeless man) : Sweet dreams Yamamura. Rest well.
Ban (after giving Jagan to nurse): They deserved to have their wedding night even if it only lasted a minute. Sometimes the greatest moments in life... only happens in our dreams.
Pg 21 (flash backs cont)
Madoka : I can read faces. I know you are not a scary person.
Ginji (stuck to wall with M) Life is full of great things if you look for them. So live MakubeX
Ginji
My strength...
(More flashbacks)
Ginji thoughts after he finds out Ban used Jagan to show Kaito's painting : .. We will never be able to forget.. the goddess of the place that no longer exists.
Ban (after freeing Kiriudo): I hope you all had... a wonderful dream.
2nd Generation GBs : Listen. The City is like a toy box dumped on a trash heap. Your job is to find the puzzle pieces in the heap that look like they form a picture. And what ever you start, see it though to the end. You never know what the picture will be until you place the final piece.
Ginji
Show..
..My .. strength
Pg 22 : Ban
Ginji, its time to decide, decide fast are you going to fight or not.
If you don't step up, shall we end this now?
Ginji
My...
Ban
Even now, at thy right hand, until this cursed fate is spent. Is the one who houses, Asclepius, who descends from the milky way on high, Therefore I invoke thee.........
Himiko
Ban..
Ginji
... Strength
Ban
....Feed with your fangs of poison!!
Pg 23 – 24 : Ban
(Ban slices off Ginji's left arm)
I will free you from your suffering!
(Ban pulls back to make the final strike and finish Ginji off)
Pg 25
(Ginji avoided Ban's strike and hugs him tightly with his one remaining arm. Ban is stunned, freezes. Ginji speaks directly into Ban's ear)
Ginji
We're the GetBackers, right?
The 'S' in GetBackers means that neither one of us is ever alone.
The one who taught me that was you, Ban-chan.
That's why I'm not fighting you, Ban-chan.
I always admired your strength and as I fought to attain the same strength as you I finally understand...
(Emotions in Ban's eyes are amazing)
Pg 26 : Ginji
The Ban-chan that I look up to..
the reason I always followed after you Ban-chan ..
Even more then your strength..
Was your gentleness.. your kindness.
Your kindness draws me, Ban-chan.
Ban
That is your answer, Gin?
Ginji
Yeah
Ban
You.. believing in me – that is your answer? (Hugging Ginji)
Ginji
Yeah (Hugging Ban)
Pg 27 -28: Ban
Just a minute!
(Ban's eyes flash, World shatters around everyone in the room; Ginji stands untouched and whole)
Pg 29: Ban
(Gorgeous smile) It's your victory, Ginji.
Did you have a good dream? (Ginji looks confused)
Pg 30 : Ginji
That was....
Ban
You have become much stronger... Ginji, (Ban taking out his smokes)
Did you have a good dream?! (Ban kindda stands there, king of the hill but a little lonely I think)
Pg 31 : Ginji
That was... the Jagan..?
Paul
Someone's here to pick him up
Ginji
This...
This..is....
Ban
Its the stairway to heaven, Ginji.
And you are the chosen one.
I declare the winner of the Ogre Battle.. Ginji Amano.
Pg 32: Ginji
Wait! I don't understand!
Ban-chan didn't lose!
I didn't even fight with Ban-chan
Ban
Paul, you saw it didn't you.
You saw me loose the Ogre Battle
Paul
Yes, Ginji won
Teshimine
Ginji, it doesn't matter, it has been decided you are the winner
Ginji
Teshimine-san, how come you….
Maria
Ginji… this battle put the bond between the two of you on trail, it bet on the time you spent together.
You believed in Ban…. That is why you put your life at stake, isn't it ?
So did Ban… he believes in you, that is why he has gambled his everything on you.
Ban
….
Ginji
Maria-san..
Maria
Ginji, this is a battle between two people who have absolute trust and faith in each other.. Both of you hoped that your partner would win, you trust your partner with absolute power, so the battle only strengthen the bond between the GetBackers. (Though all this Ban is looking away – separate)
Pg 33 : Ban
You won because of your own strength, not Raitei… You should be proud of yourself, I'm proud of you.
Ginji
Errr.. Ban-chan.. if that is so.. does that mean that I am now the number 1 GetBacker?
(Ban's ear grows big – PISSED)
B..Ban-chan then the legend of your winning streak has come to an end… can I tell others that the invincible Ban Midou-sama was defeated by me? Then you will become number 2.
I am now leader because I won?
I can give you orders because I won?
Ban
(SUPER Noogie) Shut up! Ungrateful brat! As HEAD GetBacker, I said you are the winner, so you are the winner!! I am still number 1, is that crystal clear!! You are not satisfied with something dummy? I dare you to open your big mouth and say some more stupid things!!
Ginji
Ouch! Sorry Ban-chan! I cant stretch it hurts!! It Hurts! I said I am sorry !!
Ban
Suffer the consequences of questioning my authority!!
Ginji
Your're leader, I'm sorry Ban-chan. No complaints! No complaints! You are the head GetBacker I'm sooorrrryyyy!
Maria
He?! This… errr.. are we sure Ginji Amano is still the winner?
Paul
Yup…strange but true!
Ban
(Ban throws Ginji at the stairs)
You idiot, Stop whining!! And get your sorry ass up there!!
This is you last job, finish it!
Ginji
Ouchie .... Job?
Pg 34 : Sarai
There can be only one winner for the Ogre Battle. Only that one winner is allowed to go up these stairs and complete the task of deciding on the fate of the history of the world.
Ginji
That is my job?
Sarai
Yes.. You have to go up those stairs and decided on what you want to do.. only you will decide what kind of world you wish to have.
Go and look at every possibility, understand, and consider what you wish to do..
Ginji
What's up there?
Sarai
At the summit of this staircase is the source of everything in this world,.. Babylon City.. your mother Ginji.. she is waiting for you there!
Pg 35 : Ginji
My Mother… is there….
Teshimine
(Flashback!) Kid what is you name???
Ginji, your mom.. is at Babylon City
Ginji
I....
Pg 36 : Ban
(Kicking Ginji trying to hurry him)
Stop I-ing!! Move your lazy ass. If you don't go and completer this job, the whole world would disappear and you'll smear our good name. So irritating!
Ginji
But.... Ban-chan your mother is up in Babylon City too right?
So come with me!
Ban
You gone deaf? Didn't you hear them?
Only one person can go up there!
Ginji
But .. what about you.. your mother..
Ban
It doesn't matter.
Ginji
!
Teshimine
Ginji, I'll escort you up.
Ginji
Teshimine-san
Teshimine
Let's go, Ginji..
Ginji
But... I .. only wanna go with Ban-chan.
Akabane
The new God of Infinity Fortress is really troublesome, it seems.
Ginji
?!
Pg 37 : Akabane
(Bloody sword at Himiko's neck)
Ginji-kun, I suggest you listen to your friends, and go immediately.
If not this life that has been saved, will disappear right before your eyes.
Ginji
Akabane-san
Ginji
(Ban places a hand on Ginji's shoulder)
!
Pg 38 : Ban
Go, Ginji. Leave this to me
Ginji
Ban-chan...
Ban
Believe in me, (Smiles at Ginji)
The two of us together are the invincible GetBackers,
Ginji
Yeah
(Smiles back.. Ginji finally runs up the straits)
Teshimine
(Teshimine following Ginji turns back to look at Ban, worried..)
Ban Midou.. that man....
(Akabane and Ban stand off)
Pg 39 :
(Silence.... stairs disappear)
Himiko
This...
Sarai
Because Ginji-san went up, the door to the Stairway has been sealed.
Akabane
(Removes the sword from Himiko)
Pardon my behavior, Lady Poison
Himiko
Akabane, its okay, thanks you. (Rubbing neck)
Akabane
Is this really alright, Ban-kun?
Ban
Meh.. no problem..
The two of you had to put up that little act... if we hadn't done so.. Ginji would never have left.
Akabane
How interesting.. Not only were you able to predict my actions accurately,
You were even able to use me to your advantage..
Pg 40 : Ban
That's because.. I'm running out of time.
Himiko
.... (Others look away)
Paul
Dammit Ban - you actually did it..
Ban
...
Himiko
You are running out of time.?
What do you mean?
Ban?
(Ban smiles as ash falls from the cigarette. Great body pics)
Pg 41 : Ban
Well, you see Himiko... That was the 4th time I used the Jagan today...
Ban's Grandmother Memory Voice over
Ban always remember, you can only use the Jagan 3 times in 24 hours. You cannot ever exceed this.
The power of the Jagan is not to be trifled with it can change the fate of people, and there is a huge price for bearing such power.
The wielder of the Jagan can never escape their sad fate. They cannot go against this destiny, If they do so they will disappear from history. No one will remember them. No record of their life will even exist, it will be as if they had never been born.
(STUPID G'Ma is saying this to a kid – what Ban is like 4-5 years old.. abusive bitch)
Pg 42 : Himiko
That's not ...funny. Are you joking?
Ban
No I am not.
This is the price for inheriting the evil eye, and using it against fucking destiny. I am going to disappear. Not just from the world.. but also from everybody's memory.
So there is no need to mourn.
No one is going to even know I am gone. Not you, not Ginji.
Its good isn't is, you wont remember so you wont be sad?
Himiko
STOP TALKING NONESENSE!!
Ban
...
Himiko
No one can accept this.. I don't want...
Maria
Himiko.. This is Ban's choice. We cannot help him, we can do nothing.. this is the price only he has to pay for going against his destiny. ..
(Himiko cries.. Ban reaches out a hand)
Pg 43 :
(Ban draws Himiko into a hug, he is smiling gently)
Himiko
Ban...
(Ban has a sad,, and accepting smile.. very gentle)
Pg 44 : Ban
That.. is the reality of the siltation.
(Turns his back on Himiko and faces Akabane)
Akabane
!
....
Ban
Well.. Akabane..
What say you.. we finally finish our little game?
Akabane
... are you being serious?
Ban
It would be extremely impolite of me if I didn't put an end to the drama between us before I disappear
Akabane
You will fight me seriously, with all your power.. you must show me my full power. No holding back.
Ban
... yeah
Pg 45-46
(Ban & Akabane face off - HOT)
Pg 47 : Ban
Dr. Jackal..
I'll give it my best shot
Akabane
In return, to show you mercy...
I'll kill you before you disappear.
Pg 48 : Akabane
I want to see you when you are serious, please show me all your power Ban Midou
Ban:
Humph.. you are the weakling who needs to be shown their true ability!
Paul :
Ban…
Pg 49 -50: Paul
They're… frightening!!
What level of power.
Himiko
We are the ones being crushed!!
Sarai
Being able to witness an all out battle between the Fighting Genius Ban Midou and the Jackal, Kuroudo Akabane… There is no more regrets in my life.
Paul
Amazing
Ban
Aaaarrrrrrrr!!!! (Snake and Jackal fly at each other)
Pg 51
Superb fighting scenes
Pg 52 : Paul
Such vicious attacks, 3 continuous… no… its 30 continuous attacks. Each attack that we see is topped by 10 different attacks.. my eyes can only register 3 attacks. What monstrous speed… I can't tell if the attacks are in reality 10 times what my limited sight can comprehend.
Himiko
You mean… they are exchanging 300 blows?
Paul
This is truly the first time I have seen Ban fighting seriously.
It seems he has grown to be a match for Akabane!
Ban.. his ability is at a level we cannot even see yet.
Himiko
Ban….
Pg 53 : Himiko
Is this terrifying world the place... you exist in..
Pg 54 : Ginji
This aura? (Ginji stops running)
Teshimine
So the battle has been joined….
Ginji
Wow...
Teshmine
The level of aura, both are so strong.. it seems they are seriously attacking each other.
Professor
This is not one of the pre-destined battles. This is of their own free will.. they have chosen this path to satisfy their own desires..
Pg 55 : Professor
But you are different… you are the destined new God of Infinity Fortress.
Ginji
You are.. that girl who gave me the sweets on the ship.
Teshimine
Why are you here?
Professor
I am Professor Makube. I've been waiting here to lead you up to Babylon City.
Ginji
You are MakubeX's …
Professor
MakubeX… that poor child…
Pg 56 : Teshimine
Professor, you are here to lead us…
Professor
Teshimine-san, it has been a long time.
It seems that you have remembered everything
Teshimine
Yes.
Ginji
Teshimine-san.. what does this mean?
Professor
Let's go. God of Infinity Fortress. You will see what it all means when you reach the top of the stairs.
Ginji
What will I see?
Professor
The ultimate truth… of everything.
Pg 57: Akabane
Midou-kun…, you are not thinking that you will win by attacking me multiple times, are you?
It's a pity if you believe that.
Attacking multiple times is an technique to make your opponent reckless. It will not work against me. In a battle of this high a level, the most effective is a single powerful attack, all the others are meaningless.
Ban
Bastard! Try this then!
Pg 58 : Akabane
Bloody Shield!!
Ban
Aaarrrggghhh
Pg 59 : Ban
From the beginning… I have never liked your face, and your stupid grin!!
Snnnaaakkkee Bite!
Pg 60 : Paul
The attack.. generated all this smoke..
Himiko
Is it over??
Himiko
Ban!!
(Drops of blood on the floor, near Ban's foot. Akabane weird look)
Pg 61 : Akabane
This level of power is still… not enough…
this would be over if you have just moved forward by one nano meter..
just a 1/10 of a billionth…
(Sword pierced Ban, Ban's hand is sooo close to Jackal's face)
Himiko
Ban!!
Pg 62 : Akabane
(Akabane is a chatty fighter – only Ban is quiet)
Midou-kun, I have always been fascinated since the first time we met.
Back then even with the difference of ability that was conveyed by the infinity fortress sweets, you were still a kid… playing a good trick on me. Now, I am the first to admit, you have become stronger.
But this is just not enough.
As I thought in extreme battle, your lack of experience makes the distance between us even more obvious.
You cannot touch me… this is the difference between you and me.
(Sword seems to land on Ban's shoulder without Ban touching Akabane)
Pg 63 :
Ban
(Akaban'es hat flies off torn in a few places, looses the smile)
Pardon me… for being a kid, Aka-butt-head.
Who cannot touch whom... You have hit nothing vital, and I think you have seriously miscalculated. If you had come one nano-meter closer..
It would have been your head and not that stupid ass hat that I chopped off.
Akabane
(Akabane picks up hat)Hehehe how interesting. I guess I should not underestimate kids.
Pg 64 : Ban/Akabane
If this is going to be the last battle between us, let us…
... have fun, and enjoy it!
Himiko
Ban..
Ban * grins
Akabane puts on hat..
Pg 65
(Ban and Akabane stare at each other (sooo good) )
Pg. 66 : Paul
I'm getting really excited. This is unbelievable.
Ban is fighting with a ferocity equal to Akabane's.
Himiko
Ban
Ban
Break!!
I need a fucking cigarette.
Akabane
(Glares at cigarette??? (wonder if he is thinking – smoking is bad for your health. lol)
You are so… very interesting.
So composed even now.
Pg 67 -68: Akabane
I am truly getting more and more eager.. to see Ban Midou at his limit.
Midou-kun you truly are awesome.. hehehe
I really do thank all the higher powers, which have given me the chance to meet you.
Pg. 69 " Paul
(Akabane's release of power sweeps room. Paul falls to his knees)
What the heck is this shit?. Its like my soul is being sucked right out of me.
Maria
I feel weak, just from looking at them.
Himiko
Akabane, he has finally gotten serious!
Sarai
It is probably the thought of him dying in this battle with Ban Midou. But he cannot visualize his own death? To people like Akabane what is unimaginable, will not materialize.
NO! … Not yet…
Himiko
Ban!!
(Ban is dripping sweat – curse catching up?)
Pg 70: Sarai
The result of this battle… may have already been determined.
Akabane
Shall we.. dance?
Pg 71:
(Akabane cuts cigarette in half – see he wants Ban to stop smoking! Lol!
Two fly around the room)
Himiko:
Watch OUT!!!
Paul
Unbelievable! They have caused such damage just by moving!
Ban
You Fucking Monster!
Pg 72 : Akabane
Ah, but you are a monster too, aren't you?
Ban
!!
Akabane
You are just like me. Unfortunately you have limited yourself. It is your idiotic wish. You wish to be human so much that you created a barrier against your own power, never exceeding your limits.
Pg 73 : Akabane
If you do not quit with this childish denial of your power, you will never be able to use it to the fullest.
Midou-kun, accept the fact that you are like me, a demon, just get rid off your pathetic human mask.
Admit it, there isn't much difference between humans and demons. After all, Humans are only weak, filthy living creatures that came to be as a result of trading with demons.
Accept it, free the Demon that you are and give me a taste of the true you... Then, I will at least let you die without suffering.
Pg 74 :
Himiko
(Ban is affected by Jackal's words takes a hit)
Ban Nooo!
Ban's mom memory
He is the devil's son, he is NOT my son.
Pg 75 : Ban Thinking
Shit..!!
I am almost disappearing, and all I can think about now is what mom said! Am I supposed to hate you mom? Hate the woman who gave birth to a creature like me?
Does it mean that if I hate her, I'll become a demon just like she said I would and will be able to fight with this monster on the same level?
Just become devil, only good for fighting and killing demons?
Did.. I really want to meet my mom?
(Flashbacks from infant hood)
Did I believe that if I went up to Babylon City I could have met her and be loved?
Pg 76 : Ban Thinking
Yet knowing I had this chance, I didn't fight for it, I gave the chance to Ginji…
..No.. that's not right.. I didn't give anything to Ginji. He actually defeated me, with his trust. (Flash Ginji hugging him)
I couldn't trust my mom. I was scared that if I met her, she would reject me and I don't want to hear those words again...
... but Ginji he was different.
Until the very end, Ginji trusts me. He trusts a worthless son of bitch like me. (Ginji's smile big in Ban's world)
Akabane
What's the matter, Midou-kun? (Can sense Ban is distracted by Ginji?)
Fighting at this level is disappointing me...I can hardly believe that this is all you can come up with when you are serious...
... that being said however,
...you did provide me with a great deal of entertainment.
Curious… I feel no regret from this battle, I don't feel any hatred towards you... this feeling is strange….
… Maybe this feeling is what they call mercy towards a weaker opponent.
So let's finish this, Midou-kun. BLOODY LANCE
Pg 78 : Ginji
(suddenly stops halfway the stairway) Ban-chan!!
(Turns to run back)
Teshimine
(grabs Ginji's wrist) Where are you going, Ginji?
Ginji
It's Ban-chan!
Professor
If you go down there the world will end. Do you understand,.. is that what you want?
Ginji
No! I...
I am the number 2, Get Backer! Now and forever!
Ban-chan you were the one who told me "you can only be defeated if you accept that you are defeated".
Ban-chan...
You can't give up!
Pg 79 : Himiko
Ban!
Maria
Himiko-chan, stay back!!
Himiko
Ban can barely stand on his feet! If this continues he is will die!
Paul
Believe in him.
(Cut to Ginji's belief)
The strength of the man who is the heir to the GetBackers name... is not to be underestimated!
He will not be defeated this easily!!
Pg 80 : Akabane
(Akabane rushes in with the Bloody lance ..Ban seems to be just standing there, not fighting back. Funny {sad?} look in Akabane's eyes)
Farewell... Midou-kun.
Pg 81-82:
Akabane
(Ban moves!! A white wing appears in all its glory. The Bloody Lance is smashed to smithereens)
?!
Pg 83: Ban
(Ban's wing is up, his eye shines)
Who the fuck said I was... the weaker opponent?
It will be a 100 thousand years before a freak like you defeats me!
Pg 84 : Ginji
(Ginji pauses)
Let's go, Teshimine-san.
Professor
Are you sure? Didn't you sense Ban Midou was in danger?
Ginji :
Don't worry!
I know, Ban-chan... the number One Get Backer will definitely win!!
Himiko
That is..
Paul
Ban…
Akabane
Now I see… A devil.. and yet also an angel...
... is this your true strength Midou-kun.
Ban
Who the hell cares.
Akabane
!
Ban
I am just irritated that a freakazoid like you dares to call himself stronger then me.
Pg 85 - 86 : Ban
I am going to … send you to hell!
Pg 87: Akabane
You?
Send me to hell…?
Hehe, you are so interesting Midou-kun.
It is almost time..
Now that you have gotten serious, I finally have the chance to see what I am like when I am serious.
Midou-kun nobody, not even the Raitei, could get me this serious.
Heheh.. My blood is pounding.
Show me!! … your true ability..
Pg 88 :
Akabane
(Superb : Ban reflected in Akabane's blood as the bloody sword forms)
And let me experience the true power of Kuroudo Akabane!
Pg 89 : Ban
I will show you..
(White feathers flying about – great contrast, Akabane looks worried/scared)
Pg 90 : Ban
.. the true … Ban Midou!
(Make eye contact attacks)
Pg 91 - 94
(Most amazing fight scenes.
Akabane bleeding but is smiling really enjoying the fight, Ban sprouts a pair of wings.. he is WOW!!Dominating)
Pg 95 -96 : Sarai
Beautiful…
I have witnessed many battles that put lives at stake, but I have never seen any battle as intense as this.
So fierce, yet so utterly beautiful. (Both are like dancing – Fighting but smiling, everything is falling to their force)
Both of them, the power of their souls is blinding.
Pg 97 : Paul
Paul * Thoughts
I.. I cant believe it. Akabane is actually losing.
The 3rd generation of the GetBackers..
..has risen to be more then a match for Dr. Jackal.
(Paul thinking to Ban's father)
Well partner of mine, can you see this? The boy who inherited our name.. Your son has become a true man!
He has become the coolest man...!!
Pg 98 : Maria * Thoughts
WitchQueen, just look, the small child that you left in my care...,
..Has grown up..
He has become such a strong wonderful man…
Himiko
Ban!
Pg 99 -100
God!! I beg you… please give Ban Strength.
Pg 101 – 108
Everyone watches as Ban and Akabane's fight continues – seriously intense
Final strikes.. both freeze.. others look on
Pg 109
Ban's Back is slashed he falls spouting blood.. Akabane doesnt move
Pg 110 : Himiko
Ban! Ban!
Are you alright!!
Ban…!
(Pulls Ban on to her lap : Note : Seriously Himiko's an idiot : Got so tired of Himiko : Ban! Thank God she's his sister)
Akabane
Ban Midou-kun, so you have finally displayed your true ability…
…And you have shown me my limit...
Pg 111-112
Akabane's hat flies, his back bursts open blood flies out of him
Pg 113
Paul
Akabane's hat flutters and Akabane disappears leaving it to hit the ground
Akabane ..
Himiko
He disappeared
Ban
Don't you people …ever listen to me??
(Ban says with a smile)
Pg 114 : Ban
How many times do I have to tell you.. I'm invincible..
(Cheeky serene smile)
Hey Paul, give me a cigarette, I seem to have run out.
Paul..
You.. are one hell of a fighter.
Ban
Hehe..
(Takes pack)
Pg 115 : Ban
Well, I've finished it. Now I will go… without any regrets.
(Ban's hand is now transparent)
Himiko
Ban..
Ban
Hmmm.. seems like its almost time
Voice over : Ban's Witch of a Grandmother (Please see the spelling mistake in witch)
From now on you will have to shoulder a great many misfortunes of others alone in you life. You will live in misery… that is the destiny of all those who inherit the Jagan and Aesculapius.
Ban
Meh..Stupid old hag, she has never been right about a single damn thing..
Sure my blood mother ditched me, but even as I disappear I have one who cares for me like a mother beside me.
(Maria is stunned by the words)
And though the memories of my father are sketchy, there was always this crotchety old coffee shop Chief around, meddling in my business, looking out for me.
(Paul looks on helpless)
Pg 116 : Ban
And then finally .. I have you, my sister..
Himiko
Big Brother...
Ban
Don't cry, Himiko…this is selfish, I have no regrets.
I promise everything will be okay.
You will only feel sadness for a little while.
Once I have disappeared, no one will remember me and all your sadness will disappear with me..
Pg 117 -118
Nothing more then a .. forgotten dream.
Pg 119 : Akabane Voice over
What if I do not find that entertaining?
Ban
!! (Surprised)
Paul
What the hell...
(A single scalpel buries itself deep in to the middle of Ban's chest and heart. )
Pg 120 :
Ban
(Everyone stares at the scalpel)
Interfering Bastard…
Himiko
BAN......!
(Ban slumps forward)
Pg 121 : Archive
Are you crying? MakubeX
MAkubeX
This is what it means to be human..The extent they are willing to give.. to prove themselves, how much do we have to sacrifice to be satisfied we have done our best?
Archive
MakubeX such thoughts make you seem really human-like.
But we are not the ones that need to seek the answer to that question.
Archive
The God of Infinity Fortress.. he is going to open the final door. He will choose between setting the program to zero or allow fortune to continue.
Pg 122 : Archive
He will be the one to determine ..the final destiny of the fate of all humans in this world.
Pg 123 : Teshimine
We are finally here…
Ginji
This is the entrance to Babylon City…
Teshimine
Ginji, what's the matter? You will finish the job once you walk though the door..
Ginji
But…
Professor
You are here because you believed in everyone, didn't you? Everyone's waiting for you to get the final answer.. everyone is waiting for you to provide us with the final answer..
Ginji
(Ginji feels Ban die.. clenches fist – sooo hate this reaction)
Ban-chan… the two of us together..
Pg 124: Ginji
As a representative of the GetBackers!... I will open this door,
(pushes door open)
Pg 125: Ginji
This.. this place.. where.. where is everyone?
Pg 126: Ginji
Where is everyone...
Akabane White
Only the God of Infinity Fortress can reach Babylon City
Ginji, you are the chosen one..
Pg 127 -128 : Akabane White
Ginji welcome to Shinjuku..
Ginji
Akabane… san?
Akabane White
We are no longer in the in the Shinjuku that you know.. this is a Shinjuku free of the loaming influence for
the Infinity Fortress.
Pg 130 : Ginji
This is … Infinity Fortress? This is exactly like Shinjuku! But.. there is no Infinity Fortress..
Akabane White
Yes, there is no Infinity Fortress here. It is similar to where you live, and yet – it is very different.
Hmm.. I have forgotten to introduce myself. Forgive me… I am Kuroudo Akabane, a practicing surgeon in Shinjuku.
I have been waiting for you, Lord of Infinity Fortress, to tell you the truth … of this world..
Pg 131 : Akabane White
I will show you the whole truth.
Pg 132-133 : Akabane White
(Peaceful city scenes.. all doing own thing, Ginji looks around)
How do you like this Shinjuku?
Here you will not see the myriad of homeless in lower town and in tunnels.
This place is rapidly developing.
Its is not perfect, there is still a dark side to the city, there is a thriving black market and normal illegal activates.
The colors of daylight are bright, but they are different from the colors of night.
This is our Shinjuku. It is generally peaceful.. but there is still excitement.
Ginji, do you like it?
It is different from the Shinjuku that you know, here people can lead comfortable easy lives, do you not think so?
P. 134 : Ginji
Akabane-san
(Ginji on the bridge the GBs made pledge to work together.)
Akabane White
What is the matter, Ginji?
Ginji
This city... who created it?
Akabane
You are ... truly qualified to be the God of Infinity Fortress.
Ginji
What?
Akabane White
Come let me take you to those you care about.
p. 135 : Ginji
This is... central park?
Akabane White
It is almost time for them to pass by here.
Ginji
Whom are you talking about?
Kazuki female
?!
Kazuki Female
Ah... pardon me,
Ginji
Kazu-chan? Juubei?
Kazuki female
Yes??
Ginji
Ahh hmm??
Pg 136 :Kazuki female
Have we .. met before?
Ginji
Ehh? Who...
Juubei
Kazuki, what is the matter? Do you know this person...?
Kazuki
Juubei its ok...
Ginji(thoughts)
No.. these are not them.
Ginji
Im sorry to disturb you, I mistook you for someone else.
Kazuki female
.. well no harm done. See you...
Pg. 137: Akabane White
As you can see your friends are doing just fine.
Ginji
That person.. was not Kazuki. That really was a girl.
Akabane White
Yes, she is the heir to the Fuchouin family, The is the master of the most ancient Japanese stringed instrument.
The young man beside her, Juubei Kakei, is a premier member of the Kakei family that specializes in acupuncture, he is a true genius and is a prominent lecturer in a college here.
They are truly the people.. whom you know so well.
Ginji
What?
Akabane White
Who would you like to see next?
They are all here, in this world, leading peaceful lives.
Akabane White
Life in this world is good, problems are pretty insignificant compared to what people face in your world, that in a way can be said to be the biggest problem of this world.
Pg. 138 : Akabane White
Here people are bothered by daily hassles, overwhelmed by it.. and then they suicide. The suicide rate in this world, is unfortunately a great deal higher then yours.
VO
(Ginji looks very sad, thinking; looking down)
Have we met?
Akabane White
So who would you like to visit next. Haruki Emishi? Shido Fuyuki? Sakura Kakei?
Ginji
There is no need….
Akabane White
Huh?
Ginji
I don't need to meet anymore strangers. Those two people I met just now are nothing like the ones I know. So perhaps it is better I do not meet anymore people I don't know…
Akabane White
Can you no see, its better… the two people that you know in the other world, have no chance of living such a peaceful idyllic life, they need to fight and battle everyday.
(Ginji clenches his fist – whole thing seems to disturb him)
Pg. 139 : Ginji
Peace? Is peace … happiness?
(Very mature look on Ginji's face)
I don't really know, .. my life.. yes there are times that I have suffered are more then the happy moments.
But the happiness is so sweet.. I cant see myself as unfortunate.
(Ginji looks earnest and straightforward)
Akabane White
Ginji, I understand your confusion.. there is someone you must meet.
Ginji
Who is that?
Pg. 140 : Akabane White
That's … your mother.
Ginji
What?!
(Ginji is totally shocked freezes)
Akabane White
Come.
Ginji *thoughts
I can meet my mother?
The one who gave birth to me?
Pg. 141 : Ginji * thoughts
A graveyard?
Akabane White
She's the lady over there.. Would you like to talk to her?
Ginji
's …her..
Pg. 142
Thump.. Thump… Thump (heart beats)
(Ginji walks up slowly, very nervous, fist clenched, sweating)
Pg 143-144
- Ginji has a first look at his mother near the headstones
Pg. 145 : Lady
May I help you?
Ginji
That… I…
Lady
You are a young man, aren't you?
Ginji
Pardon?
Lady
Sorry.. my eyesight s really bad.. I can only see outlines nowdays, and I need a walking stick.
Ginji
I.. I see.
Lady
What's the matter?
Pg. 146 : Ginji
Can I ask please, .. who are you visiting?
Lady
My son.
Ginji
What?
Lady
My only son.. he died.. a long time ago.
Ba-thump….
Ginji
This is..
Pg. 147 : Ginji
(Headstone with the name Ginji Amano)
I died.. My name?
Pg. 148 :Lady
My son rests here. My only son.
Ginji
Son?
Lady
Yes, his name was Ginji Amano
Ginji *thoughts
That is ..my.. grave?!
(Ginji really is shell shocked)
Pg. 149 : Lady
He.. died in late winter, the weather was like this. I became so hollow after he died. I keep thinking if only I had done more. I even thought of cloning him, to bring him back to life, but that's illegal here. And.. the sad part is that even if it succeeded, it would just be another person with his genes, not him. There can only ever be one Ginji. Everyone is specially crated by their world, so regardless of the method of conception, there can only ever be one of each unique individual.
Ginji
Its hard… to understand these things.
Lady
Yes.. its very hard.
Pg. 150 : Lady
But I have the intelligence .. I had to find a way.
I believed that the only way to fulfill my dream is to create another world.
Ginji
Create a world?
Lady
Yes, a backup. With technology I could copy this world and create a backup.
(Shot of the limitless fortress being built)
Pg. 151 : Lady
My first step was to create an artificially intelligent archive that contains all the possible future's of the world, the program was self sustaining. By assimilating all the information, possible elements, chaos and possibilities , the program would be able to develop independently with minimal interference.
The scientific committee accepted my idea, because everyone believes this world will end someday, they saw this as a way to continue. So in total secrecy we formed the Brain Trust made up of the most intelligent minds from all areas and began the project. We were Gods that would recreate the world with knowledge and science. We sought all sorts of ways to create a new and stable backup world.
Pg. 152 :Lady
Surprisingly we found only one answer in the end.
The one and only answer to create a stable world is to harness the power of human will.
Ginji
Will power?
Lady
Yes, in simplified terms, human wishes.
Ginji
Wishes?
Lady
Humans.. truly are the Gods that create the world.
Wishes of humans are the mould by which the world is shaped.
Pg. 153 :Lady
That was the answer that we found.
So we decided to collect the fear, desperation and that bit of hope in all humans, by combining all of that, we created another world.
A great deal happened in the process.
Some tapped their own willpower in the process, and by their hidden wishes became immortal.
Like him…
(Referring to Akabane in White;
Ginji : !!)
..He is a doctor, once while serving in a war zone, he tried to save the life of a civilian girl.
He failed, and felt useless for letting the life of the child slip through his fingers. He cursed God, and wished for power over death.
Pg. 154 :
Lady
(Shot of Dr. Jackal in black rising from the debris, Ginji clenches teeth, Akabane smiles)
In the other world, his backup got that ability, and became immortal.
Recognizing the power of the other world to mirror our darkest wishes, the Professor invented the fortress, she truly built on my ideas.
Pg. 155 :Lady
That is the world you are all living in...,
..the alternate world.
Pg. 156 :Lady
At the beginning of the project everything was chaotic, but things proceeded at a fast pace. We carefully calculated all the factors and planned the program to follow exactly the history that this world has been through, to create an exact copy.
However totally beyond our expectations, the other world developed its own unique history, we had no control over it, as we created the program to be independent.
(Ginji's hand must hurt by how much he clenches his fist)
The program grew, and took on further independence, anomalies began forming in th program. By the time we became aware of this it was too late, those against my team believed we were wrong to interfere had acted to reduce our control. The two world began to exits with two really different sets of rules, what would be impossible in this world, is everyday phenomena in the other world. Chaos and loss of order dominates that world. The history became twisted and totally different from what we had originally planned. It was no longer a backup of this world but a separate existence in itself.
The worlds are alike, but are totally separate worlds.
The time lines of the two worlds are now aligning, when the alternate world's time catches up to the time of this world, the alternate world if it is not aligned to the History of this world, will irreversibly become a separate world. It will be totally independent and we will no longer be able to repair the anomalies.
Pg. 157 :Lady
In the past, we made several attempts to fix the anomalies in the program, we even sent the Professor and a few others there, like Kagami the observer, there to correct things. But once there they were all slowly absorbed into the history of that world. Needless to say they can no longer correct anything, nor are they able to come back.
(Shot of Kagami and others in a status tube)
We lost the ability to freely manipulate that world because of the traitors in our ranks, led by the so-called Witch Queen. She and her colleagues even sent her Grandson into the world to stop us.
Pg. 158 :Lady
The only method left to ensure the history is a backup copy of this peaceful world is to destroy all the anomalies by reformatting that world totally. To lead that world out of chaos, we have to destroy it totally and start over leaving only one timeline.
To allow an empty world to restart properly, we need a creator. We need one person to be the creator, and that person must be on the top of the world, so that he can act as the 'Will' of the whole world. I choose to send the one person who stands above the others. He will be the chosen God who determines the future of the new world, by using his willpower to format it.
Ginji
......
(Lady looks at him with a concerned look)
Pg. 159 :Ginji
I.. if I.. am the chosen one… you sent me to the other world.
Lady
Would you help me, reformat the world to what it should be?
Ginji
But… the world that I hope to see.. is the world that I know.
Pg. 160 :Ginji
(Ban and Ginji goofing around in the Honky Tonk)
A world with.. my partner in it.. my friends.. enemies.. all moving forward together. There is a lot of things that I don't know. But the world I wish to exist in is the world I know..
That's…
Lady
That's…?
Pg 161 -162 : Ginji
That's .. what I have fought to retrieve, ...our world.
Pg 163 : Ginji
Akabane-san, let's go. I think there is someone I want to see..
Akabane White
Ok
Ginji
...
(Hesitates and turns... he seems torn as to how to address the lady who had made him to be her weapon.)
Lady *thoughts
(smiling to herself) He is a strong boy…
It seems that he has done well without me.
Even if.. its different from the future that I had hoped to see for him..
I hope that he will be able to
…
Pg 164 :
Ginji *SHOUTS
(Lady stands alone gripping her cane in front of the tombstone.)
THANK YOU!!
Pg 165 : Ginji
Ginji
(With a huge smile and totally Ginji optimism.)
MOM!!!!
(Lady's eyes finally fill with tears)
**Following is in the Chinese version not in Japanese scans :
Even through our beliefs are different, there is an unbreakable bond between mother and sun that is unbreakable. I sincerely thank you for this meeting Mom!!
Pg 166
Ginji
(Ginji is floating in darkness)
Dark.. its so dark.. what is this place?
Wait, its not just darkness.. there are substances here.. they are coming together, forming,… becoming,… something..
(Ginji reaches out a hand – light gathers in front of his palm and sorta flashes.)
Pg 167
(Ginji fully dressed (darn it.. 6 pack * hot) is lying on his back reaching out to the sun. Ginji's eyes are sooo sad )
Pg 168 Ginji
(City debris around him.. he sees a city without the limitless fortress)
This place is … Tokyo?
Is it Shinjuku… without the Infinity Fortress.. (Sits up)
that was not a dream… (Hits the floor, depressed)
Ban-chan..I..
169: Ban
What?
(Standing behind Ginji .. 6 pack to die for.. lighting death stick)
Ginji
Ban-chan..?
Ban
Eh?
Ginji
Ban-chan! You're alive! (Chibi Ginji spazes)
Ban
(Mallet face plant)
Idiot! How many times must I tell you I'm invincible. This'll teach you!
Ginji
Ouchie! But where's Infinity Fortress?
(Ginji runs around n circles)
Ban
Have you lost what little brains you had? That blasted thing's here!
Pg 170 : Ban
You are standing on it Dumb-ass!
Ginji
This is the roof top of infinity fortress!! Infinity fortress.. rooftop.
(Sees the closed doorway, smiles)
(Sits on the floor as if tired out)
That means..? was that a dream!?
Ban
Dream?
Ginji
Yeah.. Ban-chan I cant seem to remember the details, but I was in a Shinjuku with the infinity fortress. Akabane-san was dressed in a white coat, and he took me to meet my mother.
Ban
You met your mom, Ginji?
Pg 171 : Ginji
Ya, she told me a bunch of complicated stuff.. didn't really understand it.. I can't really remember all of it.. but..
Ban
But?
Ginji
Nothing, I guess it must have been a dream.
(Ban has a kindda strange knowing gentle smile on his face)
It must be true.. the other world was a dream..
(Ginji standing looking lonely)
Oh Ya! I even dreamt of your mother Ban-chan!
(Mood change to beaming)
Ban
What?
Ginji
Your mom, she really wanted to see you! (Ban hides eyes under hair)
So I told her that .. she should come to the Honky Tonk and meet you.
Ban
That was also in your dream, right?
Ginji
..err.. yeah… (weird faced, sweating)
Pg 172 : Ban
Ginji even if was just your dream.. the feelings of happiness you felt in meeting your mother were real, wasn't that great.
(ignoring issue of his mom and focusing on Ginji's emotional needs)
Ginji
Erm.. yeah! (Ginji smiles at peace)
Ban
Okay.. Lets go home!
(Ginji follows Ban down the stairs. Grins, then smiles sweetly at each other.)
Pg 173-174
Ban / Ginji
Lets go home!
(GetBackers walking down side by side, arms around each other)
Pg 175 -176
Happy reunions all around as they make their way down the infinity fortress…dead return to life – Cute GB relationship pics
Pg 177 -178
Ginji leads MakubeX out of infinity fortress – human virtual beings are now real thanks to Ginji's reformat.(translators note – am pretty sure the number of bunnies, rainbows, free food stands and soft toys in Shinjuku has increased in the now Ginji-fied world. )
Pg 179 :
Professor
(MakubeX outside the limitless fortress looking at the sun)
(Akabane looking down at the GB crew spilling out of the fortress,, he smiles)
How unlike you, you saved.. Ban Midou?
Akabane
Not really.. I killed him...
As a token of gratitude..
Professor
…
Akabane
It would have been a pity, if this world was without Ban Midou-kun. ..
Pg 180 : Akabane
(looking at Ban walking out)
I did not find his disappearing amusing..so I put him into a state of suspended animation before he fully disappeared.. the rest was up to Ginji to decide.
If Ban Midou had fully disappeared before Ginji's choice, he would have been forgotten and there would have been no way to get him back.
So what needed to be done, was to fool the archive into believing I had taken his life, before he was truly gone. ...
Professor
I see.. only Dr. Jackal could have come up with such a way to fool the archive.
I did not expect that you would care enough to save his life like this.
Akabane
Because .. only he was able to unlock the full potential of Kurudo Akabane
Semimaru
So have you finally found your answer?
Akabane
!
Semimaru
Semimaru
Do you know?
Akabane
What?
Pg 181 : Semimaru
"Reflection in the water.. it reflected the real me…"
Akabane
It's a nice song.
Semimaru
What is an illusion, which is reality, how do we know?
Pg 182
GetBackers are leaving the fortress behind
Pg 182
Ginji
(Standing outside the Honky Tonk)
We're Back!
Ban
Yeah, Finally!
(Grab door handle; opens. Girls looking quiet, Honky Tonk even with 3 people in it looks empty. Girls look up wide eyed)
Pg 184 : Natsumi
Welcome home!!
(Smiling happy)
Ban/Ginji
We're Home!!!
Pg 185 : Natsumi
What would you like?
Ban
Blue Mountain, put it on my tab.
Paul
When are you guys paying off your debts?
Rena
Ahh Paul-san don't be stingy!
Paul
This has nothing to do with being stingy!
Ban
By the way? When do we get paid for this mission?
Woman (Bitch)
Ban…
(Woman standing outside looking in, hat hides face)
Pg 187 :Woman (Bitch)
Ban
Maria
Do you not want to meet him?
Woman (Bitch)
!
Maria…
Woman (Bitch)
** remembers what she said
So.. you are the one who he considers his mother…
(You are not my child!! You are a Demon's child)
That child has no reason to want to see me…
What will he think of me.
Pg 188 : Woman (Bitch)
Besides, it seems he has finally found a place he belongs..
(Ban's arm around Ginji – horsing around in Honky Tonk)
that should be enough to satisfy me.
Maria
Is that what you really want? Do you want to give it a try?
Woman (Bitch)
What?
Maria
Leave everything… in the hands of faith…
(plotting – seriously they should have taken Ginji's advice and walked in-bah)
Pg 189 : Emishi/Amon
Welcome (Cosplaying serving waitresses)
Emishi
Amon-han, do you think this is alright?
Amon
Emi-chan, no problemmo!
Crowd looking
Err..
What are they doing?
He, he..
Its stupid
A gag?
Emishi
Amon-han, please stop speaking with such a weird Kansai slang. And… WHY are we wearing these outfits?
Amon
You are so naïve! Maid is an international language! And this area.. (pointing at thigh) will help you conquer the world!
Emishi
The absolute area?
Emishi
Nobody is going to care about that!! WE ARE GUYS!!
(Bashes Amon)
Amon
Sorry. Back to the drawing board!
Amon
Look who's here!!!
Pg 190 : Kazuki
I heard that you two had opened up a gag shop.. but its really a maid café huh?
Emishi
Just in time. Saved! Kazuki-san if you wear this outfit, our business will definitely grow!
Amon
Lets cosplay maids together!!
Kazuki
Definitely… NO!
Juubei
Don't get Kazuki involved in your stupid circus act!
(has needled the both Amon and Emishi)
Amon
What's the problem? You guys just imagine Kazuki-san in a maid uniform..
Kazuki (imaginary)
Welcome home, master.
Emishi/Amon
The best maid!
Kazuki
Don't you dare even imagine it. I thought life could finally get easier..but.. you guys…
Emishi
So what?
Pg 191 : Emishi /Amon
We want to generate laughter in the Infinity Fortress! Have it ring with laughter! That is our biggest dream!
Emishi
I am totally serious! We are going to spread laughter around.
Amon
Yes Shirley!
Emishi
(Bops Amon) Pronounce it properly!!
Kazuki, Juubei and Toshiki freeze and walk away
Toshiki
That joke was lousy!
Kazuki
Your level of jokes can match Juubei's and your maid outfits are a disgrace to women.
Emishii
No come back, we have shows everyday even weekends1 You Amon-yan you need lots of practice.
Juubei
We… fought in the Infinity Fortress
Pg 192 : Kazuki
No doubt about it.
Juubei
But.. I can't remember much about it. Even when I try, all I can remember are emotions, feelings of determination, frustration and something.. that just misses my grasp.
Kazuki
Same here.. Juubei.. Its surprising.. even though I don't recall any detail, I have a sense of resolution, I'm not unsatisfied.
Toshiki
That must mean.. that even though we cant remember in our heads, I hearts know that everything has been resolved.
Kazuki
That's right.. Yohan must feel this too..
Juubei
Yohan….
Pg 193 : Kazuki
My only brother… he's still trapped in the upper floors of the Infinity Fortress. He is now the heir to the Fuuchouin and ura-Fuuchouin styles of fighting.
Juubei
Are you alright with this?
Kazuki
Yes.. I don't want to be associated so closely with Fouchoiun anymore.. I'm happy to leave that legacy to him… Yohan and MakubeX will view each other as rivals.. but I know that Yohan's goal is no longer violence and destruction. So… this is right.. leaving the legacy to him, he needs it.
Pg 194 : Kazuki
Although I am not Emishi (thank all the gods) .. it is time to find my own special path in this world, without the need for vengeance. I like it more.. this world is more exciting then ever.
Juubei
Like it more… Yes I feel it too, a freshness of energy.
Toshiki
Who knows, what is true of the future.
Pg 195
Woof woof woof..
Mozart, Shido and Madoka meet up with Kazuki, Juubei and Toshiki
Pg 196
(Ban and Ginji standing seriously together)
Ban

Who gets it, owns it!
Wah!

Ginji
Is this true?
This is like a great dream..
Ban
Shut up eel!!

Paul
What tiny dreams your guys have… why do I have to pay for this….
Ban
Paul, A cup of your best blue mountain coffee..
Ginji
Iced coffee for me please!
Ban/Ginji- Chibi
Put it on our Tab!!!
Paul
(*gnashing teeth) Lazy freeloaders!! .. what about you?
Pg 198: Teshimine
Your treat?
Paul
Do you want to drive me to bankruptcy?
Teshmine
Heh! Just kidding..
Paul
Here.
