This is...
This is the first time I've met a human, and didn't feel the hunger...
I can get this close, touch you, and nothing...
Why...?
Uh, Kurosaki...
A whole bridal party of Amazons...
Amazon.
I told you not to worry about it.
More importantly, it's time to report back to 4C.
Chief's orders.
Chihiro!
H-Hey, old man!
What did you do to him?!
Piss off.
What you're playing with, you have no idea how dangerous it is.
Sorry, pardon me... No recordings.
Wait...
Seriously?!
Iyu, we're pulling out.
Hey, wait!
W-what are you doing with Chihiro?!
None of your goddamn business, brats.
Quit playing vigilante and go home to mommy.
Damn it! Let's follow them!
Okay!
Shit, they screwed us!
That is just brutal...
You...
What are you...?
A water cooler service?
Yes, sir.
The humans who turned into Amazons all used water coolers provided by them.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled program for an urgent update...
Water containers from Aroma Ozone may be contaminated with harmful mold.
While not life threatening, authorities urge people to stop using them.
If you have drank water from one, please seek immediate medical attention.
I repeat, water containers from Aroma Ozone may be contaminated with harmful mold.
While not life threatening, authorities urge people to stop using them.
If you have drank water from one, please seek immediate medical attention.
So...
Have we actually found any lysogenic cells in this water?
Yes, roughly half the bottles we've examined have been contaminated.
Thankfully, it's a relatively small company that doesn't deal with individual clients.
They only have one office, we've dispatched the Aoyama Team to deal with it.
However, we have estimated about tens of thousands of possible infections.
Good lord...
If the Amazons are actually behind this, it is supremely bad news.
Up until this point they've only acted on instinct, attacking humans to feed...
This would mark a coordinated attack on human life.
But why would they do such a thing?
I couldn't tell you...
How could any of us understand how an Amazon thinks?
We learned that during the Tlaloc incident, five years ago.
And with the new breed, it's like we're talking about an entirely alien lifeform.
And of course, that includes our wayward son...
Welcome back, Chihiro.
Now, why would you run away?
This is your home.
So you were hunting Amazons?
Wouldn't it be more convenient to do that from here?
More convenient for you, don't you mean...?
I won't deny that.
Ever since Tlaloc, the creation of Amazons has been expressly forbidden.
We went through the trouble of revising the belt, further amplifying an Amazon's strength...
But you're the only one we have around who can use it.
And maintenance for it can only be done here.
I believe we share a common goal, the elimination of Amazons.
That makes this a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Not to mention the fact that you were raised by Amazons...
And even for an Amazon, you do have a rather unique genetic makeup...
It's worth looking into, so you can know what you really—
I don't need to!
I know I'm human...
I'm a human, alright?
True, you do have all the genetic makings of a human being.
But, from what Kurosaki tells me...
Apparently, you've been feeling the urge to eat people.
Normal humans don't have those feelings, my boy.
Why didn't you tell me?
You can relax, we'll make some adjustments to the suppressant in the armlet.
That's how we control an Amazon's instinct—
Do not treat me like an Amazon!
I'm fine, even without the damn thing!
I'm...
I'm not one of them...
We'll talk some more, once you've calmed down.
Kanou, see that the boy is fed.
Yes, Sir.
Chihiro...
We're closed
Man...
They dragged Chihiro off... Guess that's the end of Team X.
And my phone is completely fried.
This whole thing sucks...
But maybe Chihiro will come back?
Yeah, but even then...
I mean, he said he wanted to eat people. Kinda makes you think, right?
Like, if we screw up, will he eat us?
You're right!
Wait, is that why he never ate regular food?!
That's messed up...
What's up, Hiroki? Not gonna say anything?
Remember the girl, the one they called Iyu?
Yeah, the one that turned into an Amazon.
Right!
That girl...
...she was in my class last year.
What?
But I'm pretty sure I heard that something happened on her father's birthday...
An Amazon wiped out her entire family.
She's supposed to be dead...
Come on, man...
I'm serious.
I heard it was a real mess, too...
Once her treatment is finished, she'll be sent to the Aoyama Team.
Okay.
That girl...
Her name was Iyu?
Yes, Iyu.
What is she?
She can turn into an Amazon, but she's human...
I can tell by her scent.
You can?
So what is she?!
She is...
...a special case.
Kurosaki, you're sending Iyu out again?
Yeah, with the Aoyama Team.
They're checking out the water cooler company.
We just got back, she's injured.
She's fine.
Never tires or feels pain, y'know?
Makes me jealous...
Hey, Fukuda...
You seem like the kinda guy who sympathizes with the Amazons...
Let me guess...
It reminds you of an old teammate?
But from Iyu's perspective, you might be butting in for nothing...
If I were her, I'd want to be out there as much as possible...
That's right, you were there when it happened, Kurosaki.
That was before Fukuda joined the team, wasn't it?
See, Iyu's father...
He turned into one of those new Amazons.
Her father started eating her.
She was killed...?
Yes, Iyu did not survive.
Chief Tachibana had previously done research on using dead bodies to create Amazons.
He was able to get a one-time authorization, off the record, to use that method on her.
So, does Iyu...
She should have some memories...
But she is a corpse, and supposedly unable to feel pain nor emotion.
That's why...
This is...
This is the first time I've met a human, and didn't feel the hunger...
Because she's dead...
I've seen my share of nasty shit...
But this was on another level.
The father...
He was singing, while eating his own daughter...
He actually sung.
And that's why I push Iyu so hard...
So that she can get her hands on the Amazons who did that to her father...
...and fucking kill them.
Chihiro!
Well, this won't do.
If you insist on leaving, I'll have to—
I'll stay, I'll hunt Amazons for you!
Oh?
In exchange, I don't want you treating Iyu like a weapon!
Or an Amazon! Treat her like a human being!
You wound me, son...
I thought we were already—
Promise me!
Very well.
I'm not sure what about her has caught your interest...
But you're saying you want to stay with Iyu, correct?
This is Aoyama Team, requesting reinforcements!
Target confirmed.
Amazon.
This is a repeat of the warning issued earlier...
Water containers from Aroma Ozone may be contaminated with harmful mold.
Wait, that water...
We have one of those at the office where I work...
While not life threatening, authorities urge people to stop using them.
Huh?
If you have drank water from one, please seek immediate medical attention.
I repeat, water containers from Aroma Ozone—
Man, what a pain in the ass...
Taku, what the fuck...?
H-Hey...
What is it?
Iyu!
Hang on!
Look at yourself!
Those injuries hurt, don't they? They have to!
Come on, you're not just some reanimated corpse!
You're a living person!
Iyu...
NEO
Amazon.
Because then I can believe...
That I didn't...
It's alright...
That I didn't eat my mother...
And one day the stars will fall,
the stars will fall, and when they do...
My heart will sparkle, my heart will sparkle...
Get off of me!
Help!
K-Kenta!
Taku, stop it!
Kenta!
Nagase!
Sir, what the—?!
It doesn't matter, grab Kenta and go!
AMAZON SLASH
Are you hurt?!
Happy birthday, Daddy!
Thank you... Thank you, Iyu!
And one day the stars will fall,
the stars will fall, and when they do...
Daddy, why...?!
- My heart will sparkle, my heart will sparkle...
Daddy, stop...!
Daddy!
It makes me reminisce of days long gone by...
I want you to remember them too...
And one day the stars will fall,
the stars will fall, and when they do...
My heart will sparkle...
- That's it...
My heart will sparkle brightly...
- ...the song her father was singing.
Iyu...
Maybe, if I can feel pain for you...
...then you can help me keep my humanity.
Haruka...?
OMEGA
Amazon.
If being born into this world is a sin that can't be erased
Then living is the path back to the beginning of it all
A labyrinth of salvation distorting your signal
and my heart can't seem to beat
The things that made up my life lie scattered across the ground
Oh yeah!
(Whoa whoa whoa, take your oath)
I don't wanna live in a dead world
(Whoa whoa whoa, must break to freedom)
Even if my instinct tells me to devour...
Why are you attacking Iyu?!
I used to hunt Amazons...
And we're about to start up again.
Mizuki, are you here to kill me?
Iyu...
Target confirmed.
