My body starts to melt

It was waiting for this miracle

009

You've got the chance to express you

Here comes the imagination

Time, place

Truth and lies

Joy and sorrow

Kindness, hateness

Happiness, sadness

Smile, tears, friendship

Alone, together, birth

Death, sleep, fight

Space and oneself

In that promised place

I feel it once again

The spreading of a dream that's come true

I start running today too

Here I go! Smile!

Target sighted.

Commence attack.

It dodged!

Be careful! Here it comes!

Mayday! Mayday! It's right behind me!

Yomi, The Underground Empire Arc Part 1

Episode 43: Cataclysm

Order! Please come to order!

This is obviously an artificial construct!

With their destructive force, they can only be classified as a weapon!

But I've never seen or heard of a weapon like that.

A country probably developed it in secret.

Now this is either an experiment or they're attacking other countries in earnest.

That's ridiculous!

Countries all over the world have been damaged!

Their actions are akin to a declaration of war with humanity itself!

There's no guarantee they couldn't have come from a country that was attacked.

What do you mean?

Only an amusement park in the United States was attacked.

The country suffered little more damage than that.

Wouldn't you think there'd be more damage?

Don't tell me...

Amusement park or not, the truth is that my country was attacked!

What about your countries?!

Don't we have analysis on the satellite photos from Russia and China yet?

United Nations Building, New York

Divisions deepen as the various nations fail to identify the creatures

that have suddenly attacked areas all over the world.

that have suddenly attacked areas all over the world.

Already, there are reports that the respective militaries of the US, England,

Russia, and China have begun to take action behind the scenes,

but it is unknown what trigger would signal these nations to battle.

This is getting fishy.

If this leads to a world war, everyone's screwed.

Professor Isono of Jonan University joins us now in the studio.

Right off the bat, are these giant creatures artificial?

Yes. At first glance, they look like living creatures, but that is incorrect.

I can say that with certainty because they emit super-ultrasonic waves.

Super-ultrasonic waves?

Yes. When these waves hit buildings, the edifices crumble like cookies,

while causing tissue breakdown in humans.

No normal creatures on Earth are able to project sonic waves like that.

They're definitely a weapon!

Perhaps the greatest weapon this world has ever known!

There you have it.

Black Ghost?

We don't have conclusive evidence of that.

And there's something else that's curious.

Over this past year, a company called Mitsutomo Engineering has experienced

rapid growth and appears to be secretly selling

super-ultrasonic wave weapons to other countries.

Only recently have biological weapons shown up,

so this would be way ahead of the curve.

It stinks.

It could very well be Black Ghost.

This is Mitsutomo's headquarters.

And this is the president of the company, Van Vogt.

First, look into the president, Van Vogt.

Also the factory where Mitsutomo is thought to be building weapons.

Finally, find out just what that biological weapon is,

but above all, be careful.

But I gotta stay here?!

You're support personnel in case anything happens.

You can fly anywhere you're needed to be, right?

You're fast asleep.

We'd like to see the president...

Excuse me, but may I have your name?

I can't say.

This is a business matter, so we can't divulge our names.

Then do you have an appointment?

No.

However, if you turn us away here, it will cause you trouble down the line.

However, if you turn us away here, it will cause you trouble down the line.

The thing is, the president is at home today...

I can tell they're making something that seems to be a weapon,

but there's nothing that really connects it to Black Ghost...

What's that?

A normal surveillance system.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

Let's come back at night.

Depending on the situation, I might go in.

Certainly, I wouldn't be surprised if a huge creature appeared in this environment.

According to the locals, it comes flying out of the dormant volcano just up ahead.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Let's be careful.

We're waiting around 'til tonight, but there's really nothing to do here.

Let's just relax.

We don't often get the chance.

You don't have to force yourself.

I know you're probably bored hanging around me, right?

No, I didn't mean it like that...

Francoise!

It really is Joe!

Seriously?!

It can't be...

Hey, say something, Joe!

Have you forgotten about us?!

Joe!

Wait, Shinichi?!

Mary!

Masaru!

Long time no see!

So you're alive?!

That's what I wanna ask you guys!

You haven't changed.

Neither have you!

And Shinichi, Masaru, this is so...

Why were you fighting?

After all, Joe lied to Mary!

He lied?

He said her papa and mama would come and get her someday!

They're not coming!

Papa and Mama aren't coming for me?

We'll always be together.

Yeah, we can be a family!

That's right, Mary.

When we grow up, let's all live together.

I bet it'll be fun!

I see. So you're all from the church.

These three were my best friends.

Mary was a crybaby.

It's your guys' fault for being mean all the time!

Even now, you're a crybaby, huh?

Masaru!

Anyway, what are you guys doing in this town?

We work at Mitsutomo.

It's a pretty good job.

The pay's good, too. Right?

Joe...

It's small, but we built a house.

Wanna see it?

Yeah! Come over!

Shinichi wants to show off.

'Cause he's the one who designed it.

Yeah, but I bet you wanna show Joe the model railroad you're so proud of.

You got me!

It's obvious!

Hey, Joe, I'd like to show off my cooking skills for you.

Sure. Okay, just for a little while.

I'll wait here.

I'll be back soon.

Then we'll borrow Joe!

Hey, who is that? Your girlfriend?

No, it's not like that!

Yeah, right!

Hello, 003?

002, I need you to come over here right away.

I've been waiting for those words.

I'm ol n m y Wi a y! 1

Doesn't this feel good?

So is your house around here?

We wanted it to be near the sea.

The church was next to the ocean, right?

Yeah.

I remember how we always used to sneak out in the middle of the night

and go to the beach.

I wish we'd been reunited with you earlier.

Why even you guys?

You always were sharp. Figured it out, huh?

What's wrong?

Be careful. We're not alone.

Joe, we were...

..built to...

..defeat you.

Shinichi! Masaru! Mary!

Sorry, Joe, but die!

Right here?!

Scatter!

The super-ultrasonic wave?!

Crap!

008!

004, now!

008!

How is he?!

Stop! Who's making you do this?!

It's Black Ghost, isn't it?

That factory belongs to Black Ghost after all!

We don't care about that!

The only thing we have to do is kill you!

Why?!

Why would you be so stupid to let Black Ghost take you for a ride?!

We're not being taken for a ride!

If we don't do this, something terrible will happen to a lot more people!

We'll do something about it!

I don't wanna fight you guys!

Mary! Shinichi! Masaru!

We promised each other we'd be a family, remember?!

Stop it! We're not fighting because we hate you!

That's right! We'll be killed if we don't do it!

Speak for yourselves!

I hate you!

Because of you... Because of you alone...

Why did this have to happen to us?!

It's my fault?

Joe!

What are you doing, 0097!

0027!

You...!

Mary!

Crap!

Mary!

Masaru, get Mary in the bus!

Okay!

Wait, Shinichi!

It seems they really were Black Ghost.

But that was cold, using your old friends.

What should we do, 0097

I'm going after them.

Let me go alone.

Don't be an idiot!

Like you can do it alone?!

Either way, I can't just let them go.

009!

Please.

All right.

Hey!

Sorry.

Does he know how hard it's gonna be?

Yes. 009 knows better than anyone.

Dammit! Black Ghost bastards!

Mary! Mary!

Hey, hang in there!

Joe!

What should we do?

Mary!

What the...?!

Hey, Mary, don't overexert yourself!

Mary, enough!

They've got Joe surrounded.

Mary, stop it!

Mary, why did this happen to us?!

There's no choice. We got no choice!

He's here!

Mary, you're injured...

Shinichi, Masaru!

We have to fight?!

Mary...

Masaru?

Joe! Get away!

Oh, no...

You guys...

That's why you were...

Hey, what's wrong?!

Did she get in the middle of it?

It's okay. She's human.

But what's she doing here?

Joe's old friends and the appearance of a mysterious girl.

Inevitable defeat and carelessness.

Faith and dignity as a scientist.

Our suffering and torment over possessing machine bodies.

Destruction. But that doesn't mean death. Fate.

I don't want to make them fight, but I have to.

The thread that connects us is trying to become one.

A man stands in our way.
