Episode 26: Gilmore's Notebooks

How much time has passed since then?

Like it or not, we're connected to Black Ghost.

But we may be able to take that rotten connection

and use our own strength to turn it into a strong bond.

So you've decided to join us...

...008.

00... 9?

I have nine friends and comrades, the 00 cyborgs.

Cyborg experiment number 2, called 002.

Jet Link, Italian-American, 18 years old.

002 is the first cyborg that I developed.

I instilled an ideal in him.

He represents a human dream.

That is, being able to fly.

And though it isn't perfected, he has a built-in Acceleration Mode.

009 doesn't have a monopoly on speed.

Jet!

That was a close one.

I'm the toughest cyborg of all!

When it comes to teamwork, he tends to make mistakes,

but I would chalk that up to his youth.

Cyborg experiment number 3, called 003.

Francoise Arnoul, French, 19 years old.

Ability: Enhanced vision and hearing.

003 aspired to be a ballerina, but also studied electrical engineering.

However, I robbed her of time.

In its place, I gave her the abilities of enhanced vision and hearing.

She can see and hear everything.

But now I think that was a cruel thing to do to a sensitive girl.

Black Ghost turned me into a cyborg decades before you were born.

Just this once!

I bet you're surprised that I'm an old woman!

So that's what this dress was about after all!

But recently I feel like she's been displaying the gamut of human emotions.

But recently I feel like she's been displaying the gamut of human emotions.

Cyborg experiment number 4, called 004.

Albert Heinrich, German, 30 years old.

Seeking freedom, he and his fiancee, Hilda, tried to flee their country,

but she died and he was seriously wounded as they crossed the border.

Hilda!

He suffered extensive damage to his skin tissue and lost a great deal of blood.

His internal organs were damaged too, so the majority of his body,

aside from his brain and nervous system, was beyond repair.

By the time 004 came to me, he had already gone into cardiac arrest.

The theme of that experiment was seeing how much of his body

I could turn into a machine.

He was resurrected, but his sweetheart died.

Take this! He was resurrected, but his sweetheart died.

Take this! Not only that, he came back as a machine man

Not only that, he came back as a machine man

whose entire body is composed of weapons.

Shall we take the war to them?

This isn't a spectacle.

As with 002 and 003, he was put in suspended animation for decades,

until countermeasures against transplant rejection could be developed.

When definitive improvements weren't forthcoming,

the cyborg soldier development project underwent a thorough review.

Time passed and the project cleared several hurdles.

Work began on a second generation of cyborgs.

Codename: 005, G-Junior, 27 years old.

Abilities: Super-armored skin

and superhuman strength due to a high-powered engine.

005 was the first person chosen for the second generation of cyborgs.

He's Native American.

The theme of his design was a cyborg that can draw on immense physical strength.

But he also has the innate ability to hear and interpret the sounds of nature.

But he also has the innate ability to hear and interpret the sounds of nature.

Do humans have mystical abilities like that?

That's what I wonder every time I consider 005.

Codename: 006, Chang Changku, Chinese, 42 years old.

Ability: Breathing extremely hot fire.

He's able to burrow through the ground by creating tunnels with his flames,

which can even melt through solid rock.

This isn't a cyborg ability, but he's also a first-rate chef.

Chinese Restaurant Chang Changku This isn't a cyborg ability, but he's also a first-rate chef.

Chinese Restaurant Chang Changku He even has his own restaurant in Japan.

He even has his own restaurant in Japan.

He's doing pretty good business, I believe.

Plenty of nutritious, delicious dishes right here!

Codename: 007, Great Britain, English, 45 years old.

Ability: Transformation via changing the arrangement of his cells.

007 can consciously change himself at the molecular level.

In other words, he can turn himself into anything, regardless of size.

They say that rain falls on everyone, but is that my fate?

He used to be a famous stage actor, so he's able to play any part.

Codename: 008, Punma, from the Republic of Muamba in Africa, 22 years old.

Abilities: Great endurance underwater and able to swim at high speed.

When it comes to underwater battle, there's no one better than 008.

He used to fight for the independence of his country, Muamba,

so he's always cool and calm in battle.

But it's also sad proof that if he weren't that way, he wouldn't have survived.

The final experiment of the cyborg development project is codename: 009.

Joe Shimamura, Japanese, 18 years old.

Ability: Acceleration Mode.

Father!

009 has a tragic past, too.

After being framed for the murder of the priest who raised him,

he escaped police custody, but was captured by Black Ghost.

What is this?!

Acceleration Mode!

Acceleration Mode was developed during 002's time,

but 009 has the improved version.

With this converted multistage device,

009 can move so fast that it's as if time is standing still.

All of the developmental data used for 002 through 008 was used for 009.

And also...

Here I go!

009!

I'm sure you've got more than just Acceleration Mode.

What else is there?

Other than that, just courage!

That's right. You could says his biggest strength isn't one of

his abilities as a cyborg, but his heart, the heart that loves justice.

When he's sleeping, he's no different than a normal baby.

Codename: 001, Ivan Wisky.

Russian, hometown: Moscow, assumed to be less than a year old.

Abilities: Telepathy, teleportation, psycho barrier, telekinesis and more.

Abilities: Telepathy, teleportation, psycho barrier, telekinesis and more.

Even I don't know all of 001's abilities.

About all I know for sure is that he sleeps for 15 days straight.

In the first place, his father...

Doctor, you've been working hard.

You take it black, right?

What's this?

I've been organizing my memories of all of you.

Organizing?

I've been thinking about this for quite some time.

What did Black Ghost want with me and all of you?

If I could figure that out, it would tell me what they were after.

Originally, Black Ghost was working on a project that focused on future war.

Future war?

By triggering wars worldwide and then selling weapons,

they would attain vast profits.

Black Ghost operated behind the scenes as a large-scale arms dealer.

My friends, you are sympathetic to the ideals of Black Ghost.

Like me, you believe that only power can rule society.

Welcome to the demonstration of our new weapon.

They began with wars on a limited scale and civil wars,

but were aiming to expand into wars that hadn't been fought before,

undersea and in space.

That's why they developed cyborgs like us.

The core idea of the future war project was to create bigger and better weapons

that they could sell and profit from for these new frontiers of war.

It was a horrifying project and an evil way to make money.

Sustained peace was anathema to Black Ghost.

However, thinking of them as being limited to the category

of arms dealer would be a mistake.

That label alone doesn't ring true.

I've been going over all of our battles with the enemy.

This is just my imagination,

but I believe Black Ghost is a top-down organization like this.

I was in the cyborg division.

In other words, Black Ghost is a huge organization.

They have cold-hearted principles and the price for a failed mission is death.

Likewise, only death awaits those who betray the organization.

Black Ghost sent a number of assassins after us, since they saw us as traitors.

My name... is 0010!

Codename: 0010, twin cyborgs, Plus and Minus.

Even though we're siblings, I'm the older brother from hell!

If we are siblings, how could you do this to us?

0010 were the last prototypes of the cyborg soldier development program.

009, while you were the final experimental subject,

they were the prototype created prior to proposed mass production.

Minus!

Bro!

Codename: 0011. Abilities: Deadly laser eyes, slow-acting toxin,

Acceleration Mode, flight.

Codename: 0012. A cyborg that can amplify residual human thoughts.

A mansion was converted into this cyborg deathtrap.

Codename: 0013. A cyborg boy who can become one with a giant invisible robot.

Codename: 0013. A cyborg boy who can become one with a giant invisible robot.

Abilities: Acceleration Mode and stealth camouflage.

He's fast!

I-Incredible...

His Acceleration Mode leaves mine in the dust!

I... wanted to be your friend.

Can I ask you your real name, 009?

If we had known about their existence earlier,

perhaps they would have joined us.

Thirteen!

Cyborg Men.

They were used in the Republic of Muamba.

Cyborg Men were mass-produced cyborgs that specialized in close combat.

At last, Black Ghost achieved mass production of a cyborg.

I'm gonna fight!

Not because I want to live in a house like that!

"It's so great to be alive!"

I want to make a nation where everyone can think that!

Mamado!

Let's fight together!

For the sake of our country!

And then, the final battle with Skarle.

Is that all you've got?

To be honest, I didn't think I would win.

I'm not done with you yet!

I was curious, but you're not even worth keeping as research material.

I think you all have unknown latent abilities that even Skarle was unaware of.

This isn't a very scientific opinion, but the bond between friends

This isn't a very scientific opinion, but the bond between friends

and a love of peace are what beat an evil heart.

What?!

It can't be!

Doctor, aren't you forgetting something important?

001, you're awake?

The Mythos cyborgs that appeared after Skarle was defeated

were also derived from Black Ghost.

My name is Apollo.

I am a god!

Apollo, a cyborg who can control fire.

Abilities: Shooting heat ray from his fingers, energy absorption and reflection, heat wave attack, Acceleration Mode Apollo, a cyborg who can control fire.

Poseidon, a giant half-man, half-fish cyborg.

Ability: Controlling water Poseidon, a giant half-man, half-fish cyborg.

Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull cyborg.

Ability: Energy blasts from horns Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull cyborg.

I am your opponent!

Achilles, a cyborg in the form of a black leopard.

Abilities: Acceleration Mode, heat ray shield, super-hard sword Achilles, a cyborg in the form of a black leopard.

Atlas, a giant robot cyborg.

Abilities: Internal missiles, torpedoes, super-hard armor, superhuman strength Atlas, a giant robot cyborg.

Nereus, a cyborg in the form of a hippo.

Ability: Exterior constructed of a special silicone rubber that absorbs enemy attacks Nereus, a cyborg in the form of a hippo.

Pan, a cyborg in the form of an ogre child.

Abilities: High-powered radar in horn, good at surveillance Pan, a cyborg in the form of an ogre child.

This is what you get for defying the gods.

Hera, a cyborg with psionic powers.

Abilities: Psychokinesis, telepathy, teleportation, etc. Hera, a cyborg with psionic powers.

Let this be a lesson to you. Do not stand in our way again.

Ultimately, we shall bring on a new era of peace.

Artemis, a cyborg in the form of the goddess of the moon.

Ability: Mastery of explosive energy arrows Artemis, a cyborg in the form of the goddess of the moon.

At one point, I had worked with Dr. Gaia, creator of the Mythos cyborgs,

on the cyborg development project, but...

What are you thinking?!

That's tantamount to erasing their humanity!

What's wrong with that?!

Human memories would only interfere with the usage of their abilities!

I'm going to create perfect cyborgs, the equivalent of gods!

While we were betraying Black Ghost, he must have been putting

the finishing touches on the Mythos cyborgs, his completely new project.

He committed an atrocity by disregarding human feelings.

Doctor, there's something that bothers me.

Hera, who could use psionic powers

and the energy amplification device that made magma of the island.

It's hard for me to believe that was just cyborg development.

What do you mean?

Dr. Gaia's last words.

It's for the glory of Black Ghost!

In other words, I think Gaia's goal was always a Black Ghost plan.

W-What?!

Then...

That idiot!

Butterfingers!

Exactly right. I don't care, Belk.

Damn you, 00 cyborgs!

My Mad Machine M-1!

Black Ghost still exists.

I don't know.

But I wouldn't be surprised if a second or third incarnation of Black Ghost appears.

Greenhorn! There are more people in the world

who get a kick out of that than you can imagine!

That's how Black Ghost can exist!

What greater proof could there be?!

Humans know how to begin fighting, but they don't know how to stop.

A second or third Black Ghost...

Even so, I want to believe in the human heart.

Yeah.

Let's have faith.

In human potential.

W-What's wrong, 001?!

A strange energy vibration is happening all over the world.

I've never experienced anything like it...

Looks like he fell alseep.

A strange energy vibration...

Your long unseen half-smile

The unforgettable genesis of next begins

1 can't get you out of my mind

Standing alone, please tell me why

But there is no easy answer

Genesis of next

You just get into

Alone on this planet

Lonely planet

I peeped through the keyhole again

All alone in the faint darkness

You can't soothe my remaining wounds

That's a lonely planet

North, east, south, west

True love, giving into the temptation of nostalgic words

Now that I think about it

You were dancing alone

Shedding tears and quivering, you were alone

But then you mustered courage and screamed up at the sky

There you searched for something and found it

You felt it... lonely planet

You opened the door to tomorrow and started running

Had faith in love for your own sake

Sensed the world of dreams at your side

Alone, you closed your eyes

I'm 001.

I use psionic power to talk to the other members and fight our enemies.

You say I'm always sleeping?

Don't they say that sleep is the work of babies?

Unusual phenomena keeps happening all over the world

and then strange children appear before us.

But a mysterious object has followed them.

What are you kids?
