Iyu... It's over.
This isn't what your father wanted for you...
Its not over yet.
We haven't even started!
Looks like we've got a whole day off before we get back to work.
It's been a while since we had a break.
You told them not to bother me with any emergency bullshit, right?
I mentioned it.
But I dunno, we've been understaffed lately.
Shit...
Maybe we ought to bring in a few more of the Sigma-types like Iyu.
Yeah, but you know how stubborn the government can be.
Oh yeah, Mizusawa, Fukuda...
Sorry, you guys are working overtime.
Apparently there's a job perfect for you two.
Drop by the intel team.
- Roger. - Roger.
Uh, Mizuki?
Can I ask you something...?
What?
Um, well...
Do you have any ideas for a fun place to take a girl?
I just thought that another girl might have a good suggestion.
For Iyu?
I just thought she could use a day off, too...
I think you should let her rest in peace.
If Iyu wanted to go anywhere, she'd want to—
To be with her father.
Five years ago, we killed a friend of mine that was turned into a Sigma.
And I think that was for the best.
Kurosaki always leaves a mess. Let's get this cleaned up.
That's not true, is it, Iyu...?
Let's start the briefing.
Okay.
You don't want to join your father, do you...?
Hey, what are you always looking at?
Can you even see me...?
Do you know me...?
Chihiro, not the kind we hunt.
Do you really have to say "not the kind we hunt" every time you see me?
Oh well, it's fine...
I met a classmate of yours...
He told me what you were like in high school.
He said you had fun.
Hey, why don't we go there...?
The town where you lived, your school, someplace where you had fun.
Just a moment please, we're talking.
We're here for you, actually. You're due for a check up.
I am...?
Follow us, please.
Iyu, we'll talk later.
As we know, the point of origin was made up of lysogenic cells.
But here, at the amputation site?
This area contains pre-mutation Amazon cells.
And it's a genetic match with Chihiro?
Yes, sir.
So what you're saying is...
The source of the infection that we've been looking for has been right under our nose?
It all started with him...
What a damn joke would it be if we were all infected...
Actually, Chihiro has never shown any indication of having lysogenic cells.
Not to mention, there were fewer infections than anticipated from the water coolers.
It would appear that direct exposure doesn't guarantee infection.
But now the mystery is the relationship between Chihiro, the point of origin, and that arm...
He has no sign of any significant physical damage.
But that could be due to his regenerative abilities...
We don't even know where he came from, for that matter...
What do you think, Kanou?
I'm not sure.
He doesn't seem to know for himself, either.
I think it was a mistake to take that at face value.
I propose we change our approach with him.
I feel we may have been too charitable with the boy.
What is this? This isn't what we usually do.
Periodically, we need to perform more thorough tests.
What are those outfits for...?
We're going to be using different drugs than usual.
Don't worry, they're harmless to you, but not for us.
We confirmed with the water cooler company...
I met a classmate of yours...
He told me what you were like in high school.
He said you had fun.
Fun...
Hey, why don't we go there?
The town where you lived, your school, someplace where you had fun.
Roger.
I tried to figure out where Mamoru got the remains...
But I couldn't find anything.
Did you ask him?
He doesn't think we're on the same side, right now...
Our little Mamo, who used to love the team...
Do you know who the remains came from?
All I know for sure is that it has human DNA.
But the only one that comes to mind is...
Takayama Jin, right?
He's unique among Amazons.
He implanted Amazon cells in himself, and turned himself into one.
Plus...
He was caught in Tlaloc.
AMAZON!
I wouldn't be surprised if it caused a mutation.
Have you seen Takayama since then?
We fought a few times...
But he disappeared.
A lot has happened...
Our focus should be getting rid of the point of origin, if there's any left.
These are places Mamoru is likely to go.
Got it.
You two eat up and get some rest, then we'll head out.
Roger.
How did you know about the point of origin, Shido?
A lot's happened on our end, too.
We've got someone backing us up.
Someone you know pretty well.
And they gave us this.
Chihiro.
Do you know what this is?
A high-pressure round, for hunting Amazons?
Correct, it possesses unmatched destructive power.
We have been unable to get production costs low enough for mass production.
But, I think the time has come for you to experience a fraction of their effectiveness.
What...?
If you would be so kind.
Um, sir, shouldn't you ask him a question first—?
No, I'm sure a single exposure will ensure compliance.
Yes, sir.
It's Kanou.
The situation has changed.
There is a possibility they will discover what Chihiro is.
Hey, it's Hiroki! It's been a while, man.
Yeah, have you been streaming lately?
What happened with Team X?
Nothing much.
Did you drop out?
Kaga said you never come to school anymore.
Who gives a shit?
Shit, I can't hunt Amazons, or do much else on my own...
Maybe I should go back to the boss...
Hey, Iyu.
What are you doing out here?
Nagase Hiroki.
Uh, yeah? So what...?
Hey!
Chihiro said that she's dead, but she's up and moving around...
Was he being serious?
And one day the stars will fall,
The stars will fall, and when they do...
My heart will shine...
I-Is that...?
It can't be!
Isn't that the Hoshino girl?
It makes me—
C'mon, this is bad idea.
I said not to call me on my fucking day off.
But it's a real emergency.
Iyu's missing.
What did the crew on duty say?
That it's hard to tell when she's around in the first place, so they didn't notice she was gone.
How could they be so fucking stupid?
I dunno, but as of right now all teams have been mobilized.
That means Chihiro, too.
Knowing him, he'll run after her like a lonely dog.
But apparently he's undergoing some special testing.
I think we're just gonna have to go.
Excuse me...
Can I get this to go?
So, you went back to your neighborhood?
The town where I lived, or school. That is where I must go.
I see...
Guess you're feeling nostalgic?
Places that were fun.
Got it, I'll take you where you wanna go.
But going by the school might freak people out.
So tell me, where else did you have fun?
Wait up!
Wait!
Hang on!
Iyu!
Hey, let's go on that one!
Okay!
Animal Petting Zoo
No unauthorized personnel
Huh? This place is closed down.
Hey, wait...!
I kinda feel like I've seen this place before...
What's up?
Did your family bring you here?
Hey...
Listen, so like, I've heard this stuff about you being dead...
I do not understand the question.
So you don't know why you died, and you were turned into an Amazon without knowing it...
Same thing happened to them...
To my friends...
One was turned into an Amazon, and one was eaten...
Neither of them knew why it happened...
Iyu.
Do you wanna team up with me?
You wanna get revenge for your family and yourself, right?
Well, me too!
Let's do this, we'll be the new Team X!
It's gotta be more fun than working for 4C.
Fun?
I think I came here on a school field trip!
Now I remember!
Maybe you did, too.
Field trip.
And one day the stars will fall,
The stars will fall, and when they do...
My heart will shine...
My heart will shine so bright...
When we were little, it was so much fun just to see some animals, right?
It makes me reminisce of days long gone by...
I want you to remember them too...
When you wake up again...
- Let's do this.
Cool?
Roger.
Tracking target.
Amazon.
Guess the hunt's on!
What the hell?!
Well, shit...
Now this guy's on a date with Iyu, too.
What the hell do you want?
Yeah, alright kid, how about you back up a little.
Fudamori, call for Chihiro.
Chihiro, Iyu has entered combat.
First, a word...
What you just experienced was only a fraction of the HP round's intensity.
A similar device is installed inside of Iyu's armband.
While she may not feel pain, it will incapacitate her if it is activated, just the same as you.
Don't do it...
That is up to you.
You will tell me everything.
Everything you know, every memory of your life before coming here.
And you will obey orders, with no exceptions.
Have I made myself clear?
Iyu!
She's still alive?
Fudamori.
Iyu!
Chihiro...
Hiroki...?
Why...?
Amazon!
NEO
My body is still so weak...
Iyu!
Iyu, I'll be alright...!
Hey, is that...?
Yeah, I think it is...!
Takayama Jin...
Amazon...
Damn...
And Chihiro told you that?
Yes, sir.
It would appear he does remember where he came from.
I would never have guessed that Chihiro...
And Takayama Jin...
I've been looking for you.
You're Chihiro, aren't you?
To think it was even possible...
How immensely fascinating.
Dad...?
If being born into this world is a sin that can't be erased
Then maybe living life is the cross that we all have to bear
I'm in a labyrinth of condemnation and salvation
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 Amazons!)
I don't wanna live in a dead world
(Whoa whoa whoa, break my spirit off!)
Even if my instinct tells me to devour...
His name is Chihiro!
I'll kill them!
Every last one...!
Don't you understand?! Your body is falling apart!
Why...?!
I had a feeling you were crying.
