URIUJI VILLAGE RUINS SPECIAL NEANDERTHALS IN JAPAN!
This is a tremendous archaeological find, Professor Yamada!
That is correct.
This fossil is about 50,000 years old.
There is a theory that homo sapiens
arrived in Japan in 30,000 B.C.
Archaic humans existed in Japan!
Wow!
You will all get to see the special fossil today.
Let’s have a look.
Open sesame!
You’re kidding!
Shut it down!
Is this what I think it is?
Can we show this?
A man was found dead in an apartment in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
According to the police,
a concerned coworker requested for a welfare check.
Police found a man in his forties bleeding from the abdomen.
This is the sixth incident in Tokyo this year.
Police believe they are committed by the same culprit.
FIRST INVESTIGATION DIVISION, SECTION 9 YUKINE TACHIBANA
FIRST INVESTIGATION DIVISION, SECTION 9 DENZO YAMANAKA
Found it.
This would be her territory...
Hold on a sec.
WIPE YOUR SHOES
Hello!
Excuse me...
What is this?
Are you alright?
What the hell?!
Sorry to take up your time.
I’m now in First Investigation Division, Section 9.
- He’s my buddy. - Yukine Tachibana.
Why kick me?
Erika Tamaki.
PUBLIC SECURITY SPECIAL DIVISION PARANORMAL INCIDENT ASSUMPTION
Nice to meet you. Greetings, greetings and so on.
So you really do exist.
Marucho.
What?
It’s what everyone calls this unit.
Like Organized Crime Department being called Marubou. Cool! How old school.
I’m getting hungry. Louise, music!
Playing old school and grilled meat themed music.
What the hell!
So, did you ask? Did the goldfish have a grudge on the victim?
Well, I did make an effort...
I turned around to a loud “DOSUGON” and saw my husband on the floor.
The fish tank was lying nearby.
That’s all.
I do have to ask this...
Did the goldfish have a grudge on your husband?
What is First Division’s take on this?
Suspect entered the victim's home, victim was beaten to death by a blunt object.
We believe work was done on the fishbowl and goldfish afterwards.
No other reason but to disrupt our investigation.
A criminal group or several individuals with a common goal--
So you’ve got nothing.
What is the motive?
- Thrill-kill. - A group of them?
And why the goldfish?
They all died from deformed goldfish.
That means...
1. Someone is using goldfish to commit murders.
2. The goldfish itself is doing the killing.
The question is which is it...
She is so weird.
Come on, she just woke up.
Close the gate.
In Kyoden Sando’s Umenoyoshibee Story Part 1, Baikahyoretsu
there’s a famous part about the spirit of a goldfish.
I vaguely remember it’s a story
about the divine intervention by spirits of goldfish with a grudge.
Really...
And I think the descendants of these deformed goldfish is called Ranchu.
Fish with vengeful genes...
Speaking of goldfish,
the fish in Hokkaido are delicious.
Okay but can you bring back a Korpokhur doll?
Of course.
The dried cod here is delicious too. You must try.
Can’t wait!
Oh yeah.
Heard any goldfish rumors?
There’s none.
The latest trends are reptilian humanoid and long-haired Jizo statues.
Long-haired Jizo statues?
Guardian deities with long hair.
If you make eye-contact, you'll be cursed and your sex drive and appetite will explode.
Yuck! That would be horrible!
About those goldfish... How do I put it...
I know...
Maybe our time has come.
Yep!
Shumi-tan, you’re creepy!
I promise I won’t do anything.
- You liar. - I’m not. I swear to the devil.
You can’t swear to the devil.
Is that right?
What’s wrong, Chinatsu?
It’s all good!
Late-night discount! Lucky us!
Wow, it’s so plush!
- It’s so like that... - Like what?
- Like Edo courtesans. - What are you talking about?
I’m talking culture, baby!
Chinatsu, I’ll show you the devil!
Everything’s going so fast.
Peace...
Dove...
- Chinatsu! - What are you doing?
- Where’s the devil? - Culture!
The devil really is here!
- C-c-culture! - The devil is here!
Devil, I can’t keep up!
- C-c-culture! - The devil is here!
Looks like this goldfish is just an intellectual one.
It’s a typical case of poor breeding environment.
So you think the goldfish got mad and morphed?
That’s right.
Compared to other fish,
goldfish have higher hypoxia tolerance before their stress level max out.
When that happens... Boom!
But an angry goldfish is no more than a deadly weapon.
Someone is using goldfish to commit these murders.
The goldfish are being controlled?
What’s your theory?
I have four.
- Four?!
First of all, the victims have something in common.
They’re all rough-looking middle-aged men.
This time there’s a woman--
The woman was unlucky. The shattered glass hit vital parts of her body.
The fishbowl only hit the man.
I doubt a goldfish can distinguish male to female.
I see...
Theory two: there has been 13 goldfish murders including this one,
From the sixth case onward, each goldfish was different.
It’s not just a coincidence.
Theory three... is this.
JIIKU: THE GOLDFISH ARE MURDEROUS ALL I CAN DO IS HEAR THEM OUT
I’m not sure how to interpret this...
Have you identify the account?
Not yet. Let me send a reply to get attention.
Reply?
MIO NAGANO: OMG! I HAVE THE SAME DREAM TOO! LET’S CHAT ABOUT IT!
Mio Nagano?
I used a really cute profile pic, I bet they’ll reply.
And the fourth theory?
Oh! Right...
Heinous murders like these,
are usually committed by humans.
You there!
Stop right there!
Nice one!
Where’d he go?
Marucho will look into this.
#GOLDFISH
In other news today...
A series of disappearances of high school students have occurred across the nation.
A student from Iya High School first went missing one month ago.
There are now as many as six known cases,
all of them being well-known schools...

Skoll.
You like Amon, don’t you?
I knew it. You should go for it!
- Really? - Go talk to him.
- Thanks! - Good luck.
- Amon. - What’s up, Skoll?
Can we chat for a bit?
Sorry, I fell asleep.
What were we talking about?
It’s not much but rumors about the goldfish are spreading.
Oh, really?
Welcome to Urban Legend Goro Channel!
There’s a theory that goldfish is developed as a weapon!
Goro here has an exclusive story for you.
Apparently, mistreated and stressed out goldfish will blow up!
Just like a corporate slave! And BOOM!
The greatest power humankind has ever achieved.
In other words, the ability to distribute information.
Besides spoken and written language,
making full use of stories and illustrations,
humankind has developed civilization at an astonishing speed.
However, these methods of information transmission is considered imperfect.
In actual fact, my words are falling on deaf ears.
To tell you the truth,
an immaculate information transmission medium does exist.
For example...
It cannot be interpreted in narrowly defined media such as words or images.
It’s more like... a concept.
An intensity which can only be described as
the direct intervention into the optic nerve.
Since people are also physical matter,
a further analogy would be a method of transmission like photosynthesis.
My brother was killed by the spirit of a goldfish.
Please perform an exorcism.
- Please feel free to do so-- - I meant you guys.
This all happened because you people are cursed!
Do it, please! Please do an exorcism!
Please!
- I beg you! - Calm down.
Listen, the body is just a vessel.
Our soul is in the universe. Up there we’re connected as one.
You wanna know? I’ll show ya!
You wanna get inside? Bring it on!
Come on! Come right in!
He’s a great customer though...
That reminds me! Speaking of unusual...
There’s been some crazy rumor recently.
The one about goldfish killing people.
- Do you know anyone that was killed? - Oh no, of course not!
People are saying goldfish are bad luck,
and it's just bad for business.
Can’t the police do something about that?
I think I’ll take the best one home.
They’re all great goldfish!
Have a look! The Red Cap, Sakura Nishiki.
Calico Fantail, Ryukin, Yellow Comet, Ranchu!
Chakin, the Bubble Eye, Blue Oranda, Comet!
Tamasaba!
Which will it be?
SAKURA NISHIKI
Please take this.
Did you exorcised the goldfish’s spirit?
Of course. It’s safe now.
Was there really a spirit?
Of course. It’s safe now.
Lucky the spirit was a freshwater fish.
The purification salt won't work on saltwater fish.
By the way, about the Jizo statue...
A guardian deity? Where?
Right there at the bottom of the stairs. With long hair.
And a little dandy...
This is a shrine. Jizo statues are in temples.
What?
You run far too slow.
Work out a little. You’ll get yourself killed.
I’m the brains here.
I’m not you, Bluffing Four-Eyes!
Me a bluff?!
I graduated from Akamon.
AKAMON - UNIVERSITY IN TOKYO
Screw you!
Where did you study?
- Umm... I went to a similar place. - Kyoto University?
I went to a public university.
Which one?
Pre-p-prefectural...
...er... university...
Speak properly!
Erika is really smart.
She has been cooperating with investigations since she was a student.
Remember the famous multiple submerging trucks case in Lake Kawaguchi?
Only Erika would come up with such a bizarre idea.
Back then,
Erika was very logical and--
I’m still logical.
I logically pursue what exists and what doesn’t.
In general, sane people only consider what exists.
One day, if things that don’t exist in this world suddenly exist,
humankind would panic. Our initial response will slow down!
That is why, day in day out,
I analyze the possibility of things that does not exist!
In other words, Marucho is a special unit that is trained to think
in anticipation of the disaster of absurdity!
You see? I’m logical!
That explains a lot...
From now on, no more calling occult research groups taxpayer thieves.
I’ve never said that.
Hmph!
We were an occult research group
not anymore, we’re not.
I think you two will make a good team.
What are you on about?
Just an old detective’s hunch.
That village is near the mountains so there are lots of monkeys.
That’s probably why they kept dogs to protect them.
Doggies are amazing!
That’s right. Having dogs as partners.
may be the greatest invention to humankind.
Invention?
Long live the improvement to breeding.
I don’t understand...
It’s alright.
I was so nervous, I don’t remember a thing he said.
But he said he wants a child with me.
Isn’t Skoll super cute?
I’m such a loser for not being able to talk to Skoll.
Er, let me think...
They’re all the same to me.
The only one I might be interested could be Amon...
Ultimately, I don’t care who will like who.
If possible, before the show ends,
I’d like to sleep with all of them!
You okay?
What!
My laser beams...
Hey, I was just stabbed to death.
Like I’d care! You’ve had too much to drink, dumbass!
They say if you dream of being stabbed,
it’s a sign of intimacy.
No way!
- And that’s not all. - What?
You have a stubborn look.
You’re born under a stubborn star. The poster child of stubborness!
That’s damn right!
- Gimme your phone. - No! Where’s yours?
It just broke.
Someone’s doing their homework!
I’ve seen this site too.
It was the first site that popped up.
Wait.
Sarasa Wakin.
SARASA WAKIN

Ranchu!
RANCHU
Telescope goldfish!
TELESCOPE GOLDFISH
- It all matches. - Huh?
The order is the same as the fish used since the sixth case.
The suspect has seen this site!
Trying each one out from top down!
- Which is the next fish? - The next one is--
Sakura Nishiki.
But so what?
No, it’s a valuable clue.
I’m sure Den would say that.
Hello?
Sorry to call you so late.
Not at all.
I found a pattern with the goldfish case.
Really? Tell me more.
The next one should be a Sakura Nishiki goldfish--
Sakura Nishiki...
It’s relatively rare, so we should find them easily.
I’ll call you back.
He’s rarely drunk.
Hey, you just smoothly took credit for that!
You should have said it’s “the Erika law!”
I agree!
You asshole!
Little fella...
I’m sorry.
Just to be safe.
Hello?
Sorry about that. What were you saying?
Well, it’s just a hypothesis but--
What was it?
Is everything alright?
It's tough having a good subordinate.
He’s talking about me?
Goodnight.
YAMANAKA RESIDENCE
That’s from the Public Security Division, right?
Did she kill Den?
What?
Impossible.
How can you say that?
A gas explosion in the toilet is more improbable!
Are you in on this too?
I’ll crush you, Akamon!
Hello...
I’m sorry.
Huh?
I think I’m...
...the killer.
It started about a month ago.
I began to understand how the goldfish feel.
You understand your own goldfish?
I don’t own a goldfish.
It’s from somewhere far away, I think.
Somehow I can tell they are calling for help.
Like they’re angry...
Can you control the goldfish?
- Like-- - I can’t give them orders.
I just listen to them.
They all wanted to kill their owners.
I tried to persuade them...
But they all hate humans.
In the end,
they turn into monsters.
Is this your account?
AM I ABNORMAL?
Yes.
I tried to talk to my father about it,
but he didn’t take me seriously.
By the way,
why did you ignore this reply?
- Something was fishy about it. - No, it’s not.
I thought it was creepy.
Have you seen this goldfish website?
I’ve never seen it before.
Will I get the death penalty?
To be honest, I’m jealous.
Why?
I was fascinated by supernatural powers since I was a child.
I believed one day I could be special too.
Now I'm just a failed civil servant...
I don't want this power!
Then give it to me.
- I must ask again. - Yes?
Why were you at the funeral?
Because I killed him...
We’ll get back to that. What I mean is...
How did you know about the funeral?
I can’t remember.
You don’t know Den, right?
Den...
I searched his name and found an article online.
- You knew his name? - I saw it by chance.
There was mail near the goldfish.
That’s how I saw the name and address.
Wait a second!
That a lot of details. So you can share visions with a goldfish?
It’s not really a vision...
But recently, what I’m getting is more visual.
Why didn’t you come forward sooner?
We could have prevented some deaths!
I’m so sorry.
I thought nobody would believe me.
That is true...
Forget what I said.
“I’m hungry.”
I have Cigare cookies.
Oh... you’re talking about a goldfish.
Do you know what it looks like?
No, I can only see what the goldfish sees.
Okay. Try to draw shadows too.
- I want to know where the sun is shining. - Sure.
This goldfish is about to snap.
What’s on the other side of this?
It’s a window.
Can you see outside the window?
Ta...
Ma...?
Tama district?
No.
It’s Tamas! A parking lot!
Yes. I can also see a sign outside the window.
Hina, do you see an address?
- I see it. - Nice!
Fujishiro 3-chome.
Louise, search “Tamas, Fujishiro 3-chome.”
Found it!
Gotcha!
- Yes? - Police.
There is a possible gas link. Step out and away from the building.
What?
- Bro! - Someone’s inside?
- Yeah. - A middle-aged man?
- My brother is in the living room. - Get on the floor!
What’s happening? Hey!
Are you alright?
The goldfish stabbed you!
Damn, that hurts!

Nice to meet you.
First, please hand me the phone.

Renta... Washitsukasa...
Ochiai Daiichi High School Grade 2, Class 5.
Your school has no uniform.
Yeah...
Stand up.
Sorry... My legs gave way.
Are you ready?
Yes...
With Hina’s cooperation,
we were able to prevent another disaster.
This proves Hina Nishikigawa is innocent.
We won’t say she has a malicious intent to kill.
She’s not in the clear until we find the real suspect.
I know that.
She has not broken the law.
Hina is a good girl.
Would you like to meet her?
There’s a new problem you should look into.
The disappearance of honor students.
Bingo.
- We’ll be in touch. - Good luck.
It's probably just graffiti made by students.
The school...
does not want to involve the authorities.
No need to worry. I just want to have a look.
Sure...
It’s over there...

Hints are the answers and questions? Is this a joke?
- Have you solved it? - Nope.
- But you’re from University of Tokyo! - I studied humanities.
Have you solved it?
Silly question.
You studied humanities too!
At Tsuru Culture University!
Hey, how did you find out?
Don’t mess with my university!
6A + 10B...

Louise, what does this mean?
What do you mean by “what do you mean?”
Twenty, nineteen, eighteen,

Twelve, eleven...
Seven, six,

Ka-boom!
Shut up!
I beg your pardon.
Go to bed!
Wake me up at 7 a.m.

There’s a train.
What color?
Silver body... with red and blue lines--
Keisei Railways!
- Most likely the 3000 series. - What a train nerd!
And...

Kyuko, look it up!
CAFE BUNBUN OKAZAEMON
Hey goldfish, I’m a middle-aged man.
It expanded!
This is Kyuko. The goldfish is secured.
There are no casualties. Over.
Nice work.
I’m sorry we’re pushing you so hard.
No. Thanks to you all
I don’t have to see people just before their deaths.
Up until now...
Well, it’s all good now!
Ouch!
Man, that kills!
I hate this! I hate it so much!
What did you do?
- Want a Cigare cookie? - No!
By the way, are you good at math?
Not particularly.
You?
I used to be.
- For the university entrance exams? - Yeah.
But just for the preliminary entrance exams--
Preliminary entrance exams!
You’re my muse, Hina!
As the hint says, the left side of the equation is the answer.
Meaning the answers on a mark sheet.
Six A’s.
Ten B’s.
Seven C’s, six D’s.
The first exam was back in 1990.
Preliminary entrance exam, 1990... answers.
Contemporary Society...
A... One, two...
This isn’t it.
2002.
Four, five...
2018.
A... One, two...
Three, four, five, six.
B... Seven, eight, nine, ten.
C... Three, four... Six, seven.
Four, five, six.
This is it!
Next up.
The right of the equation is the question.
So that would be Question 2.
The second question in the exam.
From the 105th letter...
One, two, three...
30, 31, 32...
57, 58, 59...

Louise, search all socials for
an account called “Balloon Keeper.”
SEARCHING ACCOUNTS
I found this!
Bingo!
That’s bingo, for sure!
Be quiet!
Hello. I have solved the equation.
Hello. How long did you take?
In a flash.
Excellent.
Thank you. What kind of test is this? What is your company name?
A questionnaire?
Name: Suzu Hamabe.
Age: 17.
School?
Tokyo Metropolitan Shiyu High School.
Grade 3, Class 1.
Healthy. Love history.
Music. Favorite book?
Mu monthly, Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Azealea pink. Nuwara Eliya tea...
I don’t understand...
It’s alright.
One day, one of the dogs in the village
bit a baby monkey to death.
Poor thing.
From the next day,
a dead dog was found somewhere every morning.
The group of monkeys went around at night
killing dogs one by one.
When over half of the dogs were killed,
the villagers must have finally lost it.
They rose up to fight the monkeys.
What do you think happened next?
The villagers probably handled the situation?
The humans were defeated.
Because the dogs turned on them.
Dogs and monkeys both started attacking the humans.
No one knows why.
But the dogs must be angry at the humans.
After the monkey incident, maybe they began to question being controlled by humans.
No one knows what happened to the dogs and monkeys after that.
The poor dogs...
What is it?
Looks like Amon and Skoll are getting close real fast.
Will the hominins find true love?
Humans are such fools.
Do you have phobias? No.
Do you like yourself? No.
Have a bad day recently?
Yes!
Have someone you hate? Yes!
Last one!
I want to become a new me...
Yes.
I like your reading choices. I love Jules Verne too.
Really? That’s great.
Meet me at 3p.m. tomorrow. See link.
Okay.
I’ve arrived. See you soon.
I just sent the message. Waiting for the target now.
By the way, I haven't been to karaoke since middle school
I’m a little nervous.
Don’t turn around.
Please don’t turn around.
So you haven’t been to karaoke since middle school?
Oops, did my inner voice come out?
Loud and clear.
Have you been hiding all this time?
Sorry.
First, please hand me your phone.
You don’t like karaoke?
I’m a terrible singer, but I like music.
- Who do you listen to? - Ayu.
Ayu?
Ayumi Hamasaki!
- How retro. - It is?
What about you?
- Do you know Muru Muru? - Er... Yeah, I know.
We’ve chatted enough.
Last test.
Okay.
Tell me about your worries.
My cowork-- Er... classmate,
the four-eyes smarty pants makes me sick.
He's not going to get a good death.
That doesn't sound like a worry.
It is. It really bothers me!
Anything else?
I don’t think I’ll ever find someone with mutual understanding.
That scares me.
Well, just a little bit.
“To be alone is the fate of all great minds.”
By Schopenhauer.
Arthur Schopenhauer.
You are welcome to join us.
Hurray!
Don’t move yet. Listen as I read you our statement.
Statement.
We are an activist organization group of members
with rare abilities and righteous ideas.
Our name is still pending.
Omission. Members will share food, clothing and shelter.
We will discuss and better each other to project a wise future for Japan.
Omission. We respect your intelligence and courage,
and approve of your admission.
The end.
Will you come with me?
Okay.
Ouch!
It burns!
This room is rather dry.
What is it?
I haven’t brushed my teeth...
Are you really a high school student?
Of course!
Hey, wait!
Wait!
Shut up! Shut up!
Wait!
Go, go, go!
He really disappeared...
No way...
I just sent the message. Waiting for the target now.
By the way, I haven't been to karaoke since middle school.
I’m a little nervous.
Don’t turn around.
Please don’t turn around.
So you haven’t been to karaoke since middle school?
He didn’t hear you carelessly say “target”
yet he heard the karaoke part.
- Meaning he suddenly appeared. - Like teleportation!
- Sure it was the same guy? - Highly likely.
Why?
He had the same build and running style.
Hunchback, 170 cm. tall and runs with a limp on the left.
Wow.
No wonder you’re Detective Den’s special pupil.
Plus, he tried to grab my hand.
- That means... - He can teleport who he touches?
If so, that's a big problem.
Not it’s not!
Excuse me...
Yes?
How much effort should we devote
to these unsupported arguments?
I’m not doubting you or Hina...
To be more direct,
does supernatural power exist?
It’s so wordy.
Let’s just call it a psychic.
Psychic?
- Sidekick? - Be quiet!
Yes, psychics do exist.
What do our bosses think?
Are you that concerned about them?
I am a public servant.
The very top acknowledges their existence.
- Wow-- - What’s more...
They want Marucho alone to take care of it.
Forty thousand years ago,
the Neanderthals, who were unable to increase their population
quietly became extinct.
Why is that?
With physique superior to that of Homo sapiens
and brain volume not much inferior.
Why did the Neanderthals become extinct?
You guys have it nice.
Sleeping obliviously.
Emergency alert on new case.
An incident has occured at Tosou University in Inamu City.
Multiple individuals are suffering from unclear health problems.
First Investigation Division are heading to the scene.
Thank you for your cooperation.
- Has everyone come to. - Are they alright?
Seems so.
- Any signs of a chemical terrorist attack? - For now, it’s hard to say.
Professor, may we have a word?
Well, I fell asleep too...
I don’t want to admit it but...
it must have been really boring for them to be sleeping so peacefully.
I’m used to them
snoozing without any hesitation.
Did you notice anything unusual during the lecture?
Smoke or smells?
Nothing in particular.
But really, the Neanderthals were--
We'll continue when you're fully recovered.
Today’s hot topic!
The college students deep sleep in lecture case!
Word on the street says they lack oxygen or inhaled hypnotic gas and all that.
They’re all lies! Lies, lies, lies!
I'm convinced it was group hypnosis.
Once at a hypnosis show,
where a dozen or so spectators got totally hypnotized!
I hear the hypnotist was a good-looking fella.
This time the speaker was this guy!
Boom!
Lemme see. Is he hot? Is he good-looking?
I think Urban Legend Goro here is better looking!
Boom!
Therefore, I doubt there was a hypnosis.
Looks like this Bearded-Four-Eyes just bored everyone to death!
Kids, be good and go to bed! Good night!
It’s just a hunch but I think the group hypnosis case,
the goldfish murders and the missing high school kids case are all connected.
I’ll go undercover as a college student!
- So you’re a college student this time? - Yep.
Is making people fall asleep even a superpower?
I am embarrassed to admit I’ve never been hypnotized.
Or tried aikido.
- How is that embarrassing? - Of course it is!
That’s why I’m looking forward to it.
Be careful, you idiot!
I can’t have another buddy die again.
It could stand in the way of my career...
You self-serving four-eyes!
And Den would get angry at me too...
Stop dropping crumbs!
I’m a superhuman.
Professor? I have some questions about your paper.
I'm Kanna Arimura, a sophomore.
Kanna Arimura?
It’s an honor to meet you.
I thought students like you were extinct.
I would like to hear your theories,
especially on the Neanderthal gene!
I’m glad you’re interested.
Neanderthals and modern humans have
engaged in accidental and planned interbreeding.
Planned interbreeding?
Time and time again across the continents
descendants of archaic humans, including Neanderthals and Homo sapiens were born.
However, many of them were frail so their prosperity was low.
But in Japan, we have Nean Oriensis,
the situation is a slightly different.
I thought there are no Neanderthals in Asia...
Do you know about the relics excavated by Professor Yamada?
Ah, yes!
In their quest for an utopia in the East,
the Neanderthal clan left Europe to become Nean Oriensis.
After thousands of years of this rigorous journeys,
they have undergone a strange evolution.
Despite its rarity,
superhuman individuals came into existence.
Some endure the extreme cold of minus 50 degrees,
others live for a hundred years,
and some are skilled manipulators of animals.
...the dogs turned on them.
They are the shield, sword,
and intelligence of the Nean Oriensis.
Either way, the group was led to the far east.
So where do you think they ended up?
- Japan! - Bingo!
People often call the Japanese a single race,
Who would have thought the ancient Yamatanians
are a mixture of Nean Oriensis and Homo sapiens.
By the way, individuals selected for superhuman Nean blood
is called Homo Ishtar.
Take note of that.
It's a very innovative theory!
Sorry, we must stop here. I’m expecting visitors.
Round up and leave.
About that theory...
Are there any physical evidence?
Like fossils or DNA.
Unfortunately, no.
- Then how did you come up with it? - Because I read it.
- LIke on ancient documents? - You want to see?
Yes, very much.
Here it is.
It’s called the Homo Ishtar sign.
The moment I saw this,
everything flowed into me.
I put it in words in my own way
and thus my theory.
I don’t feel anything.
Well, it’s time for you to leave.
Get out.
One last question!
Do those supernatural beings exist today?
It’s my dream to meet them.
Alright, listen and don't interrupt.
Of course!
As mentioned earlier.
The descendants of superhuman Nean
in other words Homo Ishtar eggs,
are thought to account for 2% of the Japanese population.
However, today, no one is aware of this fact.
In principle, it is impossible to manifest their abilities on their own.
Is that some trigger?
Ozunu.
Seimei.
Michizane.
Masakado.
Yoshitsune.
Mishima.
Okamoto.
They were awakened by the Homo Ishtar sign.
I am truly jealous they have been touched by a higher sign!
I deserve that honor too!
I can never get used to this!
Long time no see.
Who is that?
She’s a comrade. I’ll introduce you later.
Why did you do that?
Huh?
Oh that... I just wanted to try it out.
To show off your power?
- No. - How childish!
And you aren’t?
Let’s all calm down.
- You’re right-- - I want to be young.
Excuse me. You have a visitor.
Shut up! Four-eyes elite!
Who’s there?
Shumi-tan, I want to be young again...
Oh, who’s that?
You scum!
You shouldn’t abuse your powers--
No! I-it’s a misunderstanding!
She just happened to--
Are you okay?
What’s wrong?
This person is
a police...
- You... - What? A police?!
Peko, wait!
I’m coming in!
The ancient pure Yamatanians
hated farming and raising livestock.
Some say they are the ones
who changed present-day boars into pigs.
This is domestication--
Peko!
Is she really a police?
She was the Suzu Hamabe from karaoke.
Suzu Hamabe!
Don’t move!
Move and I’ll shoot!
Erika!
- Kyuko, call an ambulance! - Got it!
Hello? Send an ambulance now!
I have a female bleeding from the abdomen.
Tosou University, Inamu campus, Nakata Research Lab!
She’s in a critical condition! This is an emergency!
Please hurry!
God damnit!
Yukine Tachibana?
I heard you protected Erika-tan until the end...
Thank you so much.
- You are-- - But you couldn't save her!
I want to curse you all to death!
My apologies, I'm not myself.
Feel free to curse me if you wish.
It’s okay.
I just returned from Hokkaido today.
Shumi Sasashiro. I’m the head of Public Security Special Unit: Extraordinary Unit.
I will lead the case from here--
Who might you be?
Watch it!
Shumi-tan.
Shumi-tan--
Calm down!
Let go, you piece of shit!

You’re not surprised?
I’ve lost all sense of feeling.
I’m so happy you’re back...
But...
Look what I’ve become…
Let’s make the most of it.
Shumi-tan...
Erika-tan...
- Shumi-tan. - Erika-tan.
Shumi-tan...
- Seeya! - Bye!
- Please be my girlfriend! - I’m sorry...
Youth is an experiment.
If we follow that statement,
then our youth has been a success.
Sensei, until I met you...
I was the most detestable.
An apathetic, irresponsible and unaware
horrible idiot.
I called you “Sensei” again.
Teacher.
For giving us the opportunity to learn,
we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
A teacher is but a teacher.
We are aware of our responsibilities.
We hope to meet new comrades,
and will work hard in our activities.
We will use Sensei's gift
more effectively than anyone else.
There...
you called me Sensei again.
Sorry.
Well...
It’s alright.
For everything you’ve done for us...
- Thank you very much.
If I can be of help to my dear students,
think nothing of it.
Someday, I hope we can
eat cotton candy together.
Now...
Let’s begin.
We will do our very best!
So...
So Teacher, please give it your all!
