All our lives were saved thanks to you.
Thank you very much.
What's with the cosplay?
He's the hero of justice.
Nii-chan, are you OK?
Yeah, thanks.
What's your name?
Kanzaki Jin.
Let's get something to eat some time.
Your girlfriend can come, too.
One of these days, sure.
What's up with you?
He said I'm your girlfriend...
Huh?
So what?
What?
You're the real hero, Jin.
The chairman is waiting for you, Kouga-sama.
Jin.
And your girlfriend, too!
Episode 8: A Normal Family
I never thought you'd learn about things like this.
Please tell me everything.
Ojii-sama, you know about it too, don't you?
About these monsters...
And on top of that, you know what Jin is..
It'll be a long story...
I want to hear that long story.
My headaches just wouldn't stop,
and I passed out before I knew it.
I can hardly remember anything about what happened last night.
So you didn't see anything?
I saw some kind of weird bugs.
Like giant roaches,
so I got scared and kept my eyes shut the whole time.
It might be a hallucination brought on by your headache.
You should take it easy for the rest of the day.
There's nothing wrong with your body,
and I'll prescribe some medicine for your headaches.
Yes, thanks...
Stay here until I fall asleep.
I went to stop the Isono brothers!
Who said I went to stir things up?
Then why didn't you stop them?
Because Red Zet's scary.
I don't want to die just yet.
Those guys brought it on themselves.
Isn't that so?
The rules of EVOL say to not trouble humans.
They broke the rules.
Quite troublesome, right?
Did you see Red Zet's abilities?
No.
Is that so?
Can I get you to leave the matter of Zet in my hands?
I want to take good care of him.
I think of Zet as one of us.
One of us, huh?
How have you dealt with Konoha's friend?
Luckily, she had only minor injuries,
so I let her go after erasing all of her memories of last night!
A proper solution.
But Alphas is the problem.
Where did the funds to make Alphas come from?
From money entrusted to me by the president for developing a strength suit.
I don't think I put it to poor use.
The company's expansion and Kouga-kun's dreams...
I think the Alphas project thoroughly satisfies both of these things.
I'm disappointed, Hayami-kun.
Hand over all the data from the Alphas project.
Got it?
Y-Yes.
Mr. President!
How should we deal with the homeless who witnessed the Players?
We don't need to pile up bodies unnecessarily.
No one's going to believe what those lowlifes have to say.
Too many things happened that were unplanned for...
It's not just Kouga-kun.
Konoha-kun as well.
We need to change our course of action.
Yes, but I wish you would have at least told me about Alphas.
Kabe-san, you're too close to the president.
You could say that the Amagi Corporation...
...is one of the main supporting forces of society now,
and sooner or later Kouga-kun's going to be the head of it.
When that time comes, I want him to stay an ally of justice...
...to protect Amagi!
Don't overdo it.
Okaa-san...
Konoha!
Where's Jin-kun?
You were called here by Konoha, too?
Yeah.
I heard from my grandfather...
About you and the Players... everything.
I see.
I haven't sorted it all out for myself yet,
but I'm going to fight!
It's my mission as an Amagi.
If this is a mission, it's mine as well.
Will you fight together with me?
Like when we were kids!
I don't recall ever joining up with you.
Please wait.
Why you were born, and your form...
I'm really moved by everything about you!
What?
Please look at this.
Idiot!
Put it back!
Sorry.
But you've seen this, too, haven't you?
I was told that this form of yours was based on a design...
...from an animation company that my grandfather had as part of Amagi Group.
A form like a devil that would be feared by Players...
Apparently Alphas was designed by the same person.
So we're brothers!
Our meeting has to be fate!
Cut it out!
Fighting with the Players isn't a game.
Right, it's not.
With me as Alphas, and you as Zetman-
Hold on a sec.
What do you mean, "Zetman"?
It's your name as a hero!
What's a "Player"?
I heard it loud and clear.
He said that our family had created them.
What did he mean?
Why don't we talk about this later?
No, I want to talk about it now.
Jin-kun and Nii-chan saved me, right?
How did you fight with that monster?
Is there something that you guys know?
Konoha...
The truth is we don't really understand it ourselves.
We're still in the middle of looking into it.
I see... I understand.
Why did you stop me?
If you told her, then what?
This is a problem for the Amagis!
Shouldn't the family face it together?
There are some things you're better not knowing.
Konoha's doubting your story!
There may be more victims of the Players out there right now.
When I think about that, I can't just sit back and do nothing.
What is it?
Got it.
I'm on my way.
Tanaka called.
She's being discharged from the hospital.
Go see her.
Right.
Kaa-san?
What do you plan on doing next?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm going to fight.
I'll be fine.
Don't worry, Kaa-san.
Is this something you have to do?
It's the same as volunteer work.
It's saving others.
I think it's my responsibility to take this on as an Amagi!
Break up with that girl.
I believe I told you not to get close to any humans.
I just can't leave her be.
I want to investigate what happened to your body.
We're going to the research lab.
Let's go home together.
Sorry, there's somewhere I have to be.
I can't come along?
You can't.
I don't want to be alone!
You have a proper home, don't you?
I feel even more alone there.
No way.
You have a family, right?
Being with my parents is even worse.
I seriously hate it.
Don't say things like that.
I hate people who can't get along with their families.
I'll come get you later.
I'll be waiting, then.
It's nice to have people waiting for you.
You better come for me!
OK, I promise you.
When I get back, want to try being a family?
Huh?
But for now I have to go to some place.
So if you go home for a bit while I'm gone,
I'll be able to go without worrying.
I understand.
So she's Hanako?
It's a nice name.
I'm coming, too.
I want to know about everything for the sake of what's to come.
Are you fine with that?
It's unavoidable.
Let's go!
Was Jin born here?
No.
The place where Jin was born has already been destroyed.
I told you at an earlier time that the...
...Amagi Corporation was engaging in research on...
...the creation of "Net", an earthling completely different from humans.
Zet was born out of pure coincidence during that research.
In an error in Net, the N's changed into Z's.
Surprisingly, this is the completed form.
Completed?
Then we should call this creature Zet.
Zet...
We thought of using Zet as an anti-Player weapon.
Mr. Chairman!
Kanzaki...
It's just as I predicted.
When we sent Jin's data out to Kanzaki,
there was a response!
For the first time in two years...
Two years?
The first time Jin came here,
his Zet factors were quite small in number,
and he was living almost the same life as a human.
Kanzaki, who wanted to make Jin a human,
has been silent for these past two years since he was satisfied with the outcome.
Kanzaki...
The surge in Zet factors is calming down.
This is the result of taking in that fragment of the Ring of Exposure.
But he's not complete even with that?
Unfortunately not.
What do you think of Zet yourself?
Why ask that?
It's hard to say this,
but I heard about you from my grandfather and thought this:
You're just being abused by those around you.
It's not like that.
I chose to live as Zet.
I don't think I can fight unless I achieve the complete form.
Is Jin there?
That's right.
He's here.
Hold it!
What is this?
It's Kanzaki.
I want you to ask him:
What should you do to achieve the complete form?
What do you mean, ask him?
You momentarily obtained the final form with the Ring of Exposure.
I get the feeling that this man, Haitani,
has far more knowledge about you than we do.
I don't care about any of that!
Is Jii-chan alive?!
Have you made it to the Ring of Exposure?
Jii-chan!
But that's still not enough.
Where are you, Jii-chan?!
If he's alive, let me see him!
Let go of him, Jin!
Jin!
The chairman's taking a gamble, too.
Do you think Jin will be able to stay calm after seeing Kanzaki that way?
We should prepare ourselves for the unexpected.
No!
I think the chairman wants Jin to meet Kanzaki specifically because of how Jin is now.
Now that Jin has something he wants to protect...
Kanzaki's in there.
Hurry and let me see him!
W-What is that?
It's Kanzaki.
Don't mess with me!
What did you do to Jii-chan?
Jii-chan!
You can't!
There's a wall of air here.
It's to keep Kanzaki adequately preserved and to quarantine him from any bacteria.
Jii-sama, what is this...?
Only his brain remains alive.
He should've been started up again as a mere databank,
but he has his own will.
So go ahead and ask him with your own words!
What do you need to become complete?
Why show me something so awful?
A Player is the one who killed Kanzaki.
You were born to hunt the Players,
and you also agreed to become Zet.
This isn't the human path that Kanzaki wanted you to have,
but now you have something you love and strongly want to protect.
You need power to protect things.
Convey that to Kanzaki!
Tell him you want to be Zet to protect what's important to you!
Red stone?
Got it.
Jin!
Stop it!
You idiot!
Let Jii-chan die in peace.
I'll go meet Haitani.
You're a demon.
These are Dr. Kanzaki's last words to you.
Yeah... I'm eating.
These aren't his only words!
He asked if you had the red stone.
The red stone...
Does that ring any bells?
Stone...
Kaa-san, where are you now?
I just got home.
Konoha said she really wanted to return home.
Then, please ask Konoha if she still has the pendant.
Pendant?
The pendant with a red stone in it.
Tomomi-san returned it to her, so she should have it.
She's already asleep.
Can this wait until tomorrow?
Tomorrow's too late.
Want to try being a family?
