01x10 - BABEL

[bunniefuu]

Brother!

Let's chase 'em!

Don't bite your tongue.

Based on the route and speed,
it's Courier who has the charm.

"Execution Department HQ"

Based on the route and speed,
it's Courier who has the charm.

He must have gone there
to take something to Brother.

Something important enough to be worth the risk.

Sister must be with him.

That's some sick deduction!

And by their direction...
I see... Kansai Station.

What a perfect place for me to snatch the prize.

Y-You've got that right!
Show 'em who's boss, ma'am!

"Akudama Drive"

"Kansai"
"Southern Skies"

"Kansai"
"Southern Skies"

They're Super S-Rank Akudama...

"Execution Department Helicopter"
"Octo Type 2"

They're Super S-Rank Akudama...

They're our enemy...

It's okay... It's okay.

Back then, Master said...

This is what I practiced for...

Why did she come?!

I gave her the chance to escape!

Bad news. Check out the screen.

"k*ll the Akudama!"
"Bring back peace!"
"No more Akudama!!"

"Death"

What's happening?

Thirty-two hours ago, Swindler's appearance
in Dotonbori started a panic.

Afterward, she posted on
a message board to declare w*r.

Cutthroat followed up with
a k*lling spree to show support.

Citizens started an uprising to
take safety into their own hands.

You're kidding. That's all
it took to get this bad?

We're just as responsible as
the police for sparking this panic.

Hijacking the airwaves to smoke out
the Akudama backfired on us.

And Swindler planned on it.

They probably even attacked HQ
just to rub it in our faces.

That's right! They k*lled everyone
at HQ to serve as an example!

Not a chance.

What do you mean?

Swindler isn't the type to k*ll for show.

You don't know that! Akudama don't have hearts!

That's why they have to die!
Isn't that right, Senpai?

From my perspective, you guys are the Akudama.

--You little--!
--We pride ourselves

on crushing the crimes
and the heads of evil Akudama.

Regardless of the situation...
I'll execute them one way or another.

Senpai...

"Autopilot"
"Electronic Brain"

Boss is at the station planning our response.
We can't afford more failure.

Stand down! Don't force us to--

"Kansai"
"Kansai Police Station"

Stand down! Don't force us to--

Stand down! Don't force us to--

What the hell are the Wanteds for
if you can't catch 'em?!

--We've had enough!
--k*ll all the Akudama!

You're supposed to protect us!

A m*ssacre at HQ?!

What now? Shall we return?

No point in going back now.

Will Swindler and the other Akudama
seriously go to w*r with Kansai?

You idiot! That's not the problem!
This damn uprising is the problem!

And it only happened because we didn't k*ll
the Akudama who stole the offering!

Chief... Given the situation,
Kanto has certainly heard of it by now.

Kanto?! Oh, God!

Why do things like this only happen
when I'm the boss?!

We must stamp this out at whatever cost!
If we can't, we're as good as dead!

They're getting away!

We know where they're going.

Brother... I don't like being apart from him.

Yeah, I know.

"Kansai North Ward"
"Enoki Bridge Suita"

Why'd you stop? Huh?

No one's allowed past but citizens!

Show your seals! You can enter
if you prove you're one of us!

Who made that rule?!

We're clearing the city of Akudama!

If the police and Execution Department
won't do it, we will!

Don't.

What's wrong?! You guys got something to hide?!

Identified as Super S-Rank Akudama:
Courier and Swindler. Warning! Warning!

Courier and Swindler?! For real?!

It's the end of the line for you damn Akudama!

Declare the insurgents Akudama.

But they're innocent people
who haven't done any--

Innocent people?! Are they not
Akudama for starting an uprising?

Well...

We must protect Kansai at all costs.

But for that to happen, justice must prevail.

To have justice, must not evil be crushed?

Justice... To protect Kansai...

It will end the uprising.

Though the heads of many Akudama will roll,
Kansai will once again have peace.

Unfortunately, Executioners can't
declare anyone Akudama.

Give the word.

Chief, only you have that authority.

Die!

Citizen 10173829 identified as Akudama.

--Citizen 10239446...
--Citizen 10183911...

...identified as Akudama.

What in the world?

Us, Akudama?! The Akudama are those--

Isn't your idea a bit off the wall?

To stop an uprising like this,
some pain is unavoidable.

What about HQ? Not that
going back now will help.

We're fortunate our fighters
were away handling the uprising.

The office staff is easily replaceable. Hmm?

"Kansai Police Station"
"Entrance"

Warning! Warning!

I ask so much of you.

Work is work.

I just got this uniform back
from the cleaners, too.

Expense it.

Clean up the Akudama. Try not to shame me.

Yes, Boss!

"Flying Bus"

Huh?

Oh, yeah... Not even a bus crash could stop him.

I wonder why he believed
all my stupid-a*s lies...


It's ridiculous just saying it.

What a dork.

Huh?

The guy tried to solve everything
with brute force.

I...

I...

I--!

What am I doing?

"Southern Kansai"
"Route 134"

Why were those people identified as Akudama?

Beats me. It's not our problem.

But they're ordinary people.

They were just trying to protect themselves,
and now they're Akudama.

That's what Akudama are.
Isn't that your story, too?

Hmm? Courier! Since when did you know I'm not--?

You once asked me whether I'd give up my life
to finish a job or run away and live.

Huh? Oh, yeah. That was sudden.

I would finish the job, even if it cost my life.

Courier...

I kinda figured you'd say that.
Still, you remembered my question?

It just came to mind.

Yeah? Oh, please!

You sh*t!

Stop having fun, you two! It's not fair!

What's this?!

It's rare to see snow this early!

Snow? Snow! It's pretty and cold,

--Hey! Cut it out or you'll fall!
--but awesome!

Boo!

Wish I could've seen this with Brother.

We're there.

"Kansai Station"
"Entrance Gate"

Are we pushing elevator buttons
at the same time again?

"Caution! Gate"

"Special Access"
"Open"

I see. VIP treatment, huh?

What are you doing? Get in!

--Akudama!
--Tsk!

Brother!

Calm down, idiot.

I'll execute the Akudama.
All you've gotta do is watch the kid.

Okay.

It's the Shinkansen! It's so divine!

I guess even Executioners are fanatics.

There's your ride.

Back to where it all started.

I had a lot of fun with you guys.
I even got a helicopter ride.

That's enough outta you!

What?!

We came to take Brother back.

No...

We came to steal him!

Swindler!

Sorry, but you can't.
He's being shipped off to Kanto.

Wait!

I will execute you!

It's my job to take 'em to Brother.
Stay outta the way.

Relax! Relax! It's okay!

You guys coming to me
is all I could've hoped for.

It's all I could've hoped for, too.

Huh?!

Tsk!

What are you doing here, Doctor?!

You can thank a certain someone
for delivering that charm.

Don't tell me the charm--!

Big Sis, look!

That's how she tracked us?!

You're the b*stard who--!

Sorry, but I refuse to waste time
on your petty grudges.

I'll be done with you before you know it.

I didn't come here for a slaughter.

I'm just a regular citizen now.
You guys can't touch me.

Y-You're not an Akudama?!

Try not to move. I put a needle
through your heart.

I'm holding the string of life.
One yank and your heart stops.

Please, no!

You b*stard!

k*ll me and you're the Akudama.

You're only allowed to execute Akudama,
but only the police decide who they are.

You don't get to make that decision.

Senpai... I...

If you k*ll me to save your comrade,
you'll be declared an Akudama.

And what would your boss think
if an Executioner became one?

What do you want?!

I'm glad you're quick on the pickup.

I want the offering to Kanto.
How about you bring me that vault?

Brother!

Brother, we came to save you!

We'll get you out! Hold on!

--Why?!
--We'll open it!

Why did you come?!

I... If I'm not with you...

Hoodlum?!

Sorry, lady! But I've got no other choice!

Don't even try. He'll cut Swindler's
neck before your b*llet hits.

Wanna chance it?

Go ahead. But I should mention...

I taught him how to cut the carotid,
and a good boy will do as he's told.

Didn't I say to stop being such a feminist?

What a beautiful sight.
Everyone's lives within my hand.

Now then... Bring me the child, eye patch.

Tsk!

Hoodlum, is this what you want?

Using trackers... Being Doctor's
lackey... This isn't--

You don't know what I'm really like, lady.
This is the only way I know how to live!

That's not true. Remember how bold and
fearless you were with Brawler around?

The second he's gone, you turn into a wimp?!


You truly are a nauseating woman.

All your smooth talk like you're
some sort of heroine...

He needs someone to
latch on to--like a parasite.

That won't change, no matter who it is.

Don't conveniently assume...
you know how he feels.

I'm not assuming! Hoodlum admired
Brawler more than anyone!

And Brawler admired Hoodlum
just as much! Even I could tell!

Hoodlum, you might've been a hooligan
with a four-year sentence,

but to Brawler, you were the most
bad-a*s Akudama there ever was!

You were his bad-a*s bro! So....
don't go back to acting like some hooligan!

Good God.

In the end, you truly were utterly useless.

Though... you're just a bonus prize
after k*lling Brawler.

Huh? What... did you say?

Using you was the cherry on top.

Luckily, you were easy to manipulate
once the dreadlocked gorilla died.

Huh? What do you mean?

He died from the wound he got on the Shinkansen.
I stitched it so it would open back up.

You're kidding!

After all, he was the biggest nuisance for me.

Someone my drugs don't
work on is a pain in the a*s.

So, while he fought Executioners...
having the time of his life...

He died of blood loss.

No...

That's crossing the line!

You fiend.

You! You're the biggest b*tch!

I don't wanna hear it from you.

Hey, eye patch. Before you hand
over the kid, execute those two.

Piss off, you fiend!

I mean it.

Unlike me, those two are Super S-Class Akudama.
You can slaughter them however you please.

Don't tell me you sympathize with Akudama now.

Tsk!

You can't! She'll die if you do that! No!

Why are you protecting her?!
I'd only be executing an...

For crying out loud. Why can't
you people just do what I say?!

The... is... Kansai Station...!

The radio? Aren't the waves blocked?

Come in! The crowd is rushing Kansai Station!
The Shinkansen! They're heading for it!

What?!

What the hell is this?!

Huh? Huh?!

What's going on?! I never planned for th--

I did it just like you taught me!

You sure... fought against...
some tough dudes...

You're... the best... Bro...

Please, take us to Kanto!

--Save us!
--O' Shinkansen!

What's going on?

Hang in there!

Pull out... the needle, Senpai.

If I do, you die! I'll get you help!

I won't let you die... I won't let you die!

You must... live on.

It's the Shinkansen's mercy!

No!

Get on.

"Stopped"
"Kansai"

"Kansai"

"Departing"
"Kansai"

What a mess it's become out there.

Guess they're coming to this side.

Oh!

Hello! Bunny here!

'Sup?! It's Shark here!

Hey, Shark! Do you know why so many people
could get into Kansai Station?

Because Kanto wanted lots of people!

They threw the doors wide open
so that people could get in!

Right! It's what the Shinkansen
was originally made for!

Yup! Because Kanto is--

Let's do this! It's game time!
