| GetBackers |
With
the end of Ban and Ginji's intense battle, they become friends
but where did they get the name "GB" from? And just
what is it that makes them continue their retrieval service...?
|
Natsumi:
|
The
GB really get along well, don't they?
|
| Pore: |
It's
because when they first met, they were at each other's throats.
It's hard to understand huh, about the encounter between
people.
|
| Ginji: |
Whatever
we undertake is over when we do as much as we can to accomplish
it. It was the words of the someone who put Ban and I together
as the GB...
|
| Ban: |
Like
I'll forget his words. A retrieval service's job is like
gathering the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Until we get the
last piece, we don't know what picture will appear... right?
|
| Ginji: |
I
was taught this long ago by someone. No matter whether
it's an object, a person or the heart that's taken. We
just have to retrieve it. If we do that then no one will
live with sadness and hate...
I've
been... searching for the meaning of those words for a
long time while working the Dakkanya with Ban-chan.
|
| Kadsuki: |
Please!
Stop Makubex... If what I'm thinking is right then the ones
who can do it are... You two! Ginji-san and Midou Ban! You
two are the only ones who can succeed as the GetBackers!!
|
| Yukihiko: |
Ginji-kun...
The time will come when you'll understand.
The battle that you must continue to retrieve the truth...
|
|
| Voodoo
Children |
There's
extremely little info but the Kudo brother and sister that are
known as the Voodoo Children. What is the organisation of Nouryokusha
(people gifted with powers) that Kagami speaks of?
|
Ban:
|
I
promised Yamato... that when the time comes, I will definitely
help you.
|
| Himiko: |
Quit
fooling around! You killed my brother so why would you...
|
| Ban: |
You
still don't understand do you?! It was fate! Yamato's death
was because you two are Voodoo Children!
|
| Kagami: |
I
see. Just what to expect of a Voodoo Child huh, Lady Poison?
|
|
| Mariyudo |
It
seems Fuyuki Shido was born among the the Yoki People who were
part of the Mariyudo. What's the link between the insects that
attacked Shido and the Mariyudo?
|
Ban:
|
....That
guy named Shido said they're the descendants of the
former inhabitants didn't he?
|
| Ginji: |
Yeah,
do you know about them?
|
| Ban: |
No,
but I just happened to hear a lot about them. I don't
know if they're really the ones that went after him...
|
| Kirihito: |
We
mustn't leave even one Mariyudo alive. That's the law.
|
| Kirihito: |
Do-
Don't tell me... Don't tell me that Fuyuki Shido's from
the Yoki People! |
|
| The
other member of the Four Kings of Volts |
Appearing
as the Four Kings of Volts were the 3 people Fuyuki Shido,
Fuuchoin Kadsuki and Makubex. As for the other member, where
was he now and what is he doing? What's this rumour about
him being born in the Upper Levels?
|
Makubex:
|
Many
times... I've had the same dream. Ginji-san disappears
then Shido-kun and Kadsuki-kun leaves too. Then the
other person... A dream of how all the members of
the Four Kings of Volts disappearing and leaving me
alone in Infinite Fortress.
|
| Emishi: |
Raitei
is gone then Shido-kun and Kadsuki-kun goes too. Then
that person we respect...
|
| Juubei: |
Looking
at you, I remember now.
|
| Kagami: |
Remember
what?
|
| Juubei: |
About
the man that was known as one of the Four Kings of Volts
along with Makubex, Shido and Kadsuki. Now that I think
about it, he was also someone who was born in Babylon
City.
|
| Shido: |
You
remember the time that was known as Jigoku Jidai (Time
of Hell) here at Infinite Fortress don't you? That time
when I, Kadsuki, Makubex and the other person were still
fighting along side each other... |
|
| Kagami
Kyoji |
The
one who lent Makubex a hand and watched the GetBackers battle,
Kagami Kyoji. Will he, a resident of Babylon City, stand
in the way of the GetBackers? Or...
|
Makubex:
|
I
think he is an eerie man. He sees through everything
and smiles at me with a face that knows nothing.
His power maybe equal to that of Fudou Takuma and
may also be greater. He's a man who's limits are
unseen... That Kagami Kyoji.
|
| Akabane: |
Oh.
My my... This is a surprise... Being able to bump
into you at a place like this. Yes.... Bumping into
someone else that's like the other tower resident
I met...
|
| Rado
Gensui: |
Kagami
Kyoji is someone that no one in the Lower Town has
seen before. He's a man who descended down from Infinite
Fortress' Babylon City where Makai (Demonic World)
is surrounded in mystery.
|
|
| Infinite
Fortress: The Middle Slums Area & The Upper Area:
Babylon City |
Even
Kadsuki who's quite strong, fears the middle tower slum
area known as "Hell". Does that mean the Upper
Babylon City is more frightening than you can imagine?
|
Makubex:
|
Here
in Infinite Fortress, 3 worlds exist. One is the
lower class, Lower Town where we are expanding
our influence. Above that we have the Middle Class
Slum Area known as the Belt Line. Then we have
the huge "Upper Class Area, Babylon City"
at the top.
|
| Hevn: |
There's
a place that even you, who's one of the original
inhabitants, don't know?
|
| Kadsuki: |
That's
the upper class area of Infinite Fortress, known
as Babylon City.
|
| Hevn: |
Babylon
City?
|
| Kadsuki: |
I've
been just once up to the middle class section, The
Belt Line. But at the time, it was as far as I could
go with my power.
|
| Hevn: |
Someone
as strong as you...?
|
| Kadsuki: |
I
defintely don't do business there but I know. It's
because I... I got a glimpse of the place! I got
a glimpse of the horror of the Belt Line!
|
| Kadsuki: |
The
middle class slum area... is a hell...
Just what is life and death? It's a true place of
hell where you will no longer know. For the inexperienced
me who came back from there alive, it's a mystery...
|
| Juubei: |
I'm
sure I told you that this is the historical ruins
of Babylon Tower. This isn't just a hologram. It's
a complete virtual enviroment that causes the mind
to work just as if it was reality.
|
|
| Infinite
Fortress: The Archiver of the Upper Area |
A
certain place in Babylon City known as the Archiver
which Makubex foretold and found. What other things
were there apart from that battle scenario? It seems
there's data on Akabane there too!
|
Rado
Gensui:
|
It
was just because Makubex found the scenario
with the Archiver in Babylon City that he foretold
this battle would occur!
|
| Makubex: |
After
Ginji-san appeared, I used a computer to decode
the code on the networks in Babylon City and I
found Infinite Fortress' future written in a prophecy
in the place known as Archiver. Just as the prophecy
said, the gears continued to turn. The horror
and massacre of Volts from the past had returned
to the world in Infinite Fortress...
|
| Makubex: |
Everything's
going as I calculated... No. Everything's progressing
as written in the Archiver in Babylon City. It's
something... to regret.
|
|
| Infinite
Fortress: The Absolute Ruler |
It
was the existince that ruled over Infinite Fortress
that provoked Makubex into battle. Apart from being
called as the "God of Infinite Fortress",
"The Absolute Ruler" and "The Intentions
from Above", there are absolutely no clues about
its true identity...
|
Juubei:
|
Makubex
had persuaded us that everything that occurs
in the Lower Town are the intentions from
above! Makubex had foretold that you and Shido
will come to this battle field. It was all
to proof that the future has been prepared
by those who dwell above.
|
| Juubei: |
Right
now, it is not my friend who I am fighting!!
I am fighting against the ones who looks down
upon us in Babylon City. The ones who prepared
these battle scenarios and who are smiling at
the outcomes!!
|
| Rando
Gensui : |
...Just
how far are you planning to go recklessly, Makubex?
How far are you going to go provoked by the
absolute ruler of Infinite Fortress and with
your intellects that surpass humans?
|
| Kadsuki: |
If
the enemy is the god that treats everything
in Infinite Fortress equally and, if Makubex
has no need to fight with you guys then there's
no point in this little game. I won't let all
life in Infinite Fortress be controlled as if
the faces of dice can be controlled freely!
I won't let you do as you please so that you
can cut off the switch again!! If I let you
then there will be no hope... It will erase
the Noah's Ark in Infinite Fortress!!
|
| Rando
Gensui : |
What's
happened?! His blood vessels, organs and even
his mind... All his vital parts have been precisely
inspected and mapped into the computer... It
can't be! Could this also be the work of Infinite
Fortress' God?
|
| Ban: |
I
don't know what trickery this is but, the thing
that's called the Infinite Fortress's God ruling
this place is making me feel the electromagnetic
waves he's generating. The waves that make this
virtual reality feel no different from reality.
Half of the things that I feel in my brain may
just be illusions. In other words, this Infinite
Fortress is an environment that's just a mix
of reality and virtual reality!!
|
|
| The
enemy who caused the destruction of the Fuuchoin
Family |
There
seems to be a connection between the enemy who caused
the destruction of the Fuuchoin family and Infinite
Fortress. What can we piece together from the those
words? That he enemy were traitors and it happened
in a place near the Fuuchoin home?
|
Juubei:
|
Hey,
Kadsuki... If it wasn't for those traitors'
trickery... Surely...
It would still be those days...
|
| Kadsuki: |
If
the enemy who destroyed my family and Infinite
Fortress is connected somewhere then I'm sure
one day... |
|
| Dr.
Jackal, Akabane Kurodo |
According
to Makubex, he discovered data on Akabane Kurodo
in the Archiver in Babylon City... Does that mean
Akabane has some sort of connection to Babylon
City?
|
Makubex:
|
Isn't
this some nostalgic scenery? It's your
homeland after all and I found it in the
Archiver above. If I know the right keywords,
I can easily find it. Akabane Kurodo...
I found it using that keyword.
|
|
| Teshimine
Takeru |
The
one who left Infinite Fortress and brought up
Ginji, Teshimine Takeru. Currently, it appears
he isn't at Infinite Fortress and neither has
he been in contact with Ginji. What's in the
MO Disk that he left at Pore Wan's shop?
|
Teshimine:
|
...Please
tell Ginji this when he returns safely.
Tell him that I enjoyed it the most
when I lived together with him.
|
| Pore: |
When
I hand over the MO Disk that Teshimine
left here, I'll have to tell him that
he came here too...
|
|
| The
Mirokus |
Just
like Kudo Himiko, it seems they hold hatred
against Ban but, is it really as Miroku Natsuhiko
says? And who is the head of the Mirokus that
Kadsuki let slip...?
| Natsuhiko: |
Midou
Ban. Ban is a friend.
He's also the person I want to kill
most in this world.
|
| Natsuhiko: |
That
Midou Ban can't be forgiven.
That man killed Elis, an important member
of the Miroku Family right before our
eyes...
|
| Kadsuki: |
The
Miroku Family is famous for thie traditional
sword techniques.
It's true the head of the family-
Sorry... I said too much.
|
|
| Brain
Trust & A Girl |
The
intellectual organisation that was involved
in the construction of Infinite Fortress,
Brain Trust. Their current whereabouts are
unknown but, the young girl handed some mysterious
candy to Ginji, Shido and Emishi to on a ship
appeared to be one of the members. The young
girl who is known as Hakase (Doctor) seems
to be conducting some experiments and activities...
|
Gensui:
|
Makubex
was involved with the construction
of Babylon Tower with me. He lived
without fearing the intellectual organisation
Brain Trust's god. Now he's found
one of the nightmares and it's being
revived!!
|
| Girl: |
I'll
give you this.
|
| Shido: |
"What's
this feeling I have... I've met that
kid somewhere before..."
|
| Shido: |
Ginji's
powered up too? Don't tell me Ginji
ate that girl's sweets too... |
| Emishi: |
Who
is that girl?
|
| Shido: |
...Who
knows...
|
| Scorpio: |
How
was the boat trip this time, Hakase?
|
| Girl: |
It
was pretty fun. Thanks to the trip,
I managed to conduct some experiments
for some new medicine.
|
| Scorpio: |
Did
you manage to find the right people?
|
| Girl: |
Yes...
There's someone who is watching over
the man named Dr. Jackal until he reaches
the level when he awakens...
The most important reward was I met
a person named Raitei... In any case,
it means my theory and methods accomplishes
more than the Brain Trust does things.
It looks like the day I reunite with
the other members of the Brain Trust
isn't far away. |
