Unbelievable.
And you still heaped all that praise onto AUZA
despite knowing they were up to this crap?
I was simply giving credit where it was due.
They have access to technology that can turn brilliant ideas into a reality,
as well as the vast research funding needed to support them.
Putting aside their current scheme,
I believe that AUZA is an enterprise
that's honestly doing humanity a huge favor.
If you start going on about some kinda "Iron Ninja" or "Captain Shinobi,"
then I swear to God...
Screw that goddamn company!
Why the hell didn't they let me in on this project?!
As for our plan from here on out,
Higan and I will go around
to every active power plant and make sure they get shut down,
while simultaneously stealing
the energy supplies that we need to keep operating.
What will you two do?
Do you even need to ask?
We're going to dig into AUZA until we find incriminating evidence!
But naturally,
that means we'll end up revealing the existence of you ninjas to the public.
I'm aware.
I'll give you guys full access to my computer.
By the way, there's one thing bothering me...
What is it?
Nothing, forget it.
Let's hear it, otherwise I'm going to send you flying.
Well, it's just, ya know...
I can't help but notice that you started calling Duck here "Higan."
Huh?
So are you two a thing now, or what?
Yeowch!
An outrageous suggestion.
Christ... Learn to respect your elders!
You brought it on yourself.
I don't get it.
That big lug let the power plant get destroyed right in front of him,
so why let him come back?
Engaging Higan in combat without the Gusoku Gear would be foolish.
Big D made the right call.
And you were able to get data from it.
That should be enough.
That's besides the point!
You were the one who wanted to speed up the plan, remember?
Except now the members of the advisory committee
are on the verge of bowing out because of your brainless ninjas!
Listen up!
Right now, I'm in the middle of using this world -
or rather this entire planet as a sort of game.
I exert total control over people, nature,
and all living creatures as I change the world.
It's the greatest simulation imaginable!
But if your people keep getting in my way, then we're through.
So then, this is just a game to you, is it?
Yeah, that's right!
A game that only I get to play!
We ninjas have a duty.
In essence, that duty is to seek out the most dangerous
and vile scum on this planet such as yourself
and then terminate them at any cost.
Never forget that we are simply overlooking your misdeeds
in the name of an even greater cause.
Is that supposed to be a threat?!
Well, just remember the next time one of your people screws up...
I'm going to make them commit seppuku!
Damn brat can't even tell a ninja from a samurai.
The time is at hand.
The Izuna circuit is the heart of the Gusoku Gear.
It's very sensitive and frail.
Which means if you use it like that vintage motorcycle of yours,
then you'll quickly put it into a bad mood.
And what happens if I upset it?
Then it will never smile for you again.
You have to be a gentleman. Just think of it like Mari.
That won't work. I made her angry all the time.
You've gotta be kidding!
Anyway, that's the gist of how to operate and maintain the Gusoku Gear.
I'll give you the manual to read, but it's better to just learn first-hand.
Emma.
This is my problem to deal with.
You've already done more than enough for me.
Please just stick with Mike and lend him a hand.
Then find a safe place to stay when it's all over.
And never tell anyone where you went.
God, I'm so tired of hearing bullcrap like "it's my problem"
or "I'm the one who has to take care of it."
Seriously!
Why is it that older guys are always so quick to grandstand like that?
We're not trying to grandstand or anything.
It's like I told you before, in this business...
I have a duty to uphold. So I'm going with you, Higan.
However, I'm also going to help you two out before I leave.
I know that Jason guy seems likes weirdo, but his skills are solid.
It shouldn't take long if both of us work together.
Don't call me a "weirdo."
You know your way around a kitchen, huh?
I borrowed what was left in the stockroom to whip something up.
Don't go making another one of your stupid comments.
What brought this on all of a sudden?
D-do I have to explain it?
Throughout history, gangs, yakuza, mafia,
and families have always shared meals together like this.
Care to explain why my serving so damn small?!
Isn't that obvious?
It's because you never contribute anything!
Why I outta...
In this business, your partner is as good as family.
You're another person who I consider part of my family.
Tell me, what does this apron of your say, huh?
-Uh, well, ya see... -Must be the kanji for "jackass."
No way!
All right, Mr. Secretary of Energy,
what's this pressing matter you wanted to talk about?
I want to hear what you have to say about the explosion at the power plant.
It's exactly as I explained before.
This was an act of sabotage
committed by someone who got wind of our operational test.
The FBI are hunting them down as we speak.
Then allow me to visit as an observer so I can verify the facts.
I'm afraid that's not possible.
I can't risk any chance of our technology being stolen.
Thorough records of the operational data have already been provided to you.
I gather that you've more or less forced the advisory committee
into accepting your bribes with some saber-rattling,
but you know they can't just ignore public opinion.
I let the trouble that you've been having in the city slide, but this is different.
All of you damn people are nothing but cowards.
What?
Listen, it's our cooperation that has put your dreams on the verge of coming true.
NO, I'M THE ONE WHO'S MAKING YOUR FRIGGIN' DREAMS COME TRUE!
You seem to have lost your temper there.
It's one of my few shortcomings.
Now I'm pissed at myself and all those political hacks.
So, what's Big D doing?
He is currently at a barber shop in the city.
Get him on the line.
But he requested this time off on the schedule...
This is an emergency!
Shouldn't you answer that?
I treasure my time here more than anything.
Besides, I already know exactly what he wants.
And I've taken care of what needs to be done.
Beauty is where I find the most delight.
And there is no point to living or fighting
when there is zero delight to be had.
Well, I hope your boss can understand that.
When pigs fly.
I'm not able to get through to him.
Screw that goddamn bucket head!
I'm very sorry about this, sir.
Please allow me to make it up to you on his behalf.
Not now, I'm going to go out for a little bit.
I'll get ready immediately.
You stay here, Dilly.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll make it up to me...
after I get back.
Hey, Crow-man!
I rarely ever see you around here.
You know, if I were the boss,
I would've just let you handle it right away.
What did he come in here for?
Oh, you mean the CEO?
He was here to do a personal check on the maintenance status
of Big D's Gusoku Gear.
It's the first time he's ever done something like that.
What's the progress on this one?
Currently at 92%.
It should be completed very soon.
Studying hard, eh?
Anyway, I'm still reeling from the fact that she's a ninja.
I had absolutely no idea.
Same here.
I worked much closer with her than you did.
But I never saw a damn thing, not even once.
Duck...
keep Emma safe, ya hear?
Our target is a report stored on their main server
that contains operational data on the reactor.
It should include evidence of them using newly-developed weapons
to secretly intervene in foreign disputes,
as well as the name of whoever they report to.
Wh-who could that be?
One of this country's top brass.
That sounds juicy.
AUZA's main server is hosted across
a constellation of independent satellites that are in low Earth orbit.
Hold on, I got fired while working on developing that very system.
And now you're saying it's operational?!
Our first step is hacking into that.
I'll teach them for laying their grubby hands on my work!
I appreciate your business.
Not a single strand of hair out of place.
Your skills are even better than they were yesterday.
I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
This is the development department.
The maintenance on your Gusoku Gear has just finished.
Your timing couldn't be more elegant!
N-no freakin' way!
We've already broken past the firewall!
Stay focused. This is where things get tricky.
I'm taking back my satellites! Suck on this, you goddamn AUZA pricks!
Did you hear what I said?
I'll drag them down to Hell with me if I have to!
Get ready to burn, you bastards!
I guess it's true what they say about
"desperation being like courage for cowards."
Who the hell is that?
A ninja.
But how'd he find us?!
Hurry and equip your Gusoku Gear!
He caught us off guard!
Aw hell! Just when things were starting to look up!
Emma!
Can I handle any of the weapons that are in the truck?
Everything that's in there functions just like modern firearms!
Perfect!
You two stay here.
Let's keep going.
Next stop, all the secret accounts in the AUZA Banking network!
Literally every dignitary and elite in the whole country...
this list would give the president a goddamn heart attack!
We're both under the same limitations now.
Let's do this!
Oh my god. These scumbags...
We're almost done! Don't get distracted!
Well, good thing it's so QUIET!
That little fool.
Relax, I didn't send them to interrupt your party.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
That should buy us a little time.
Just how "little" are we talking here?!
About a minute.
Even less if they decide to use a rocket launcher.
Launcher at the ready!
Not on my watch, assholes.
Aw hell!
Can I leave this to you?
I'm all over it!
Transfer the data over to my external drive.
It's designed to automatically encrypt whatever gets stored on it.
Whoa there.
Dammit...
Jeez! You're just never gonna listen to my orders, are you?!
Yeah, no.
I made it to the main server!
External access detected! Defense programs now activated!
C-crap, they're already onto me!
But...
it's too late!
Mike!
MIKE!
Keep Emma safe, ya hear?
The only thing I should be focused on doing is crushing the organization.
Huh? Wait a minute!
Because that will ultimately free all the ninjas from their missions.
Guiding Emma to a better future after that...
is your responsibility.
Mike! MIKE!
I've taken kicks from you that've done more damage!
Don't worry. I ain't dead just yet.
And besides,
you're the one who said you still have a lot left to learn from me!
Remember?
As long as you're willing to teach me, boss!
You ready?
Always.
Special delivery!
Go, go, go, go!
Take this, you sons of bitches!
Outstanding!
I'm satisfied....
That was an elegant battle.
You okay?!
Big D!
Aska...
Tell me, why would you do something as ugly as betray us?
I know it may seem like that from your perspective,
but the truth is that I have never once betrayed what I truly believed in.
So, you were never on our side to begin with, eh?
That's a hard truth to swallow, but a beautiful answer.
Go on! Deal me the final blow!
That little worm!
Just how underhanded can he get?!
EMMA!
Emma!
That goddamn buffoon!
He just never stops ruining my plans!
So this was... your doing, sir?
That was supposed to kill all five of them and instead it only killed one!
Emma!
Higan... is Mike okay?
He's fine.
Good... I'm s-sorry...
Mari...
I broke my promise...
Hang in there, dammit!
You're going to watch over me until the end, aren't you?!
Listen, Mike...
We're calling an ambulance right now, so just hold on!
Don't you dare die on me!
Jason!
R-right!
This... is my real face...
Yeah, well, nothing surprises me at this point.
I'm sure...
you'd never have known it was me, if we met like this...
Change your appearance all you want, but I'd still know it was you!
I've been in this business long enough to tell!
But how?
That's something I can teach you later!
Hey, Emma!
I always thought... that when my time came to die...
I would definitely be alone...
Don't start with that bullshit!
You're not dying here!
Live on, Emma!
I'm so lucky, baby...
Cause you are my girlfriend...
Hey.
This is precious to you, right? Don't go losing it.
Oh, thank you.
You know, he kinda looks like you.
Huh? You gotta be crazy!
I'm so lucky, baby!
Cause you are my girlfriend!
Don't laugh at me!
And maybe, you are my one and only!
Tell me...
Emma.
Emma!
Emma...
Most cocky rookie I ever worked with, let me tell ya.
She always showed up late and never listened.
Except at some point,
I found myself thinking that talking with her
was what it might feel like if my daughter were still alive.
And so, to me, Emma was like having a second daughter.
But...
There was a guilt that came with it.
Felt like I could never tell her.
Why would you ever think you were gonna die alone?!
Stupid girl!
I should have just told her, dammit!
Even if you never said it, she knew.
In all my time, I've never seen a ninja die with that kind of look on their face.
I'm going to dismantle the organization.
Whenever Mari fought, her goal was always to defend.
I'm putting an end to all of this.
