(October, the 14th of Shinka Era Indian Ocean)
Maria!
Move, Maria.
I have orders from the Imperial Government.
GaGon!
GaGon.
That's the islanders' word for "big human."
It has the characteristics of a Gigantopithecus giganteus.
(August, the 17th of Shinka Era U.S. Joint Staff Pacific Headquarters)
Now you know.
Why we have to throw the superhuman in the frontline.
(November, the 29th of Shinka Era Tokyo)
We saw it, a huge beast!
We all saw it.
A beast? But where?
Jiro!
Emi! What did you do?
Nothing.
You brought him out here.
Come down and help.
What are you doing at a time like this?
I like this.
Concrete Revolutio ~Superhuman Phantasmagoria~
I heard it A voice cursing fate
I found it A way to use my power
What you want are not words, are they?
That love inside I want to send it on
Justice is not on my side
The only thing absolute for me is myself
Come on Wakers. Ready, go!
Protecting the illusions that somebody dreamed of
will liberate the stagnant sky
We hurl our unanswerable cries at each other
And they become the reason we live
What can I do in this hopeless world we live in?
Only those that keep searching
can become the future
Start the revolution!
(January, the 41st of Shinka Era Superhuman Bureau)
Hello.
What? A huge creature in the lake?
It's in Fukushima. A little far, but can you go?
If I can use my car.
Don't get found out.
The little boy's car still needs a little tuning.
Sorry.
A beast.
If damage might spread, may I attack?
Our job is solely to protect and control superhumans.
Don't forget that and get hotheaded.
That's hot!
This is a monster too, right?
That's right. Monsters are on the human's side.
And that...
The bad beast.
I can't let it run free.
What's wrong? Getting worked up like that.
Let's attack. Lend me a hand.
That's only a last resort.
We don't know if it's evil yet.
Impossible. All beasts are evil.
You mean, for humans.
You're so cute.
What? There was another one?
No, I don't think so.
What's going on?
Those two are close by.
But we can't see them.
It's the Fred and Hoyle effect.
They transitioned to an adjacent dimension.
What should we do?
The second one is an unidentified superhuman.
We can't do anything.
We don't need science but magic.
How about we call it Grosse Augen?
That means "big eye," right?
He has a huge eye in the middle of his body.
And so, Grosse Augen debuted on Earth as a beast-eradicating superhuman.
But as you know, he couldn't stay on Earth and left.
And that was how I, Kikko Hoshino, joined the Superhuman Bureau.
It's been a month since Grosse Augen vanished from Earth.
He won't come back.
Will he?
He abandoned his host's body and returned to his planet.
He'll never come back.
The problem is how to handle beasts from now on.
There are hardly any other huge superhumans like Grosse Augen.
I have Equus.
The Bureau's goal isn't to fight.
It's to secretly manage superhumans.
And protect them.
- Excuse me. - Yes Kikko?
I have a question after hearing all this.
Why are beasts killed without question?
I'm coming.
Hello?
What? A beast appeared?
I'm scared.
Somebody, do something!
This is why.
Their very existence is dangerous.
But there must be a reason they were born.
Like losing their habitat or falling from space.
Many Japanese fishing ships were wrecked in last year's Typhoon No. 29.
Over 200 people are still missing.
If that typhoon was caused by a beast,
you'd say we should've killed it earlier.
So beasts are the same as typhoons and earthquakes?
- Should I lock it? - Yeah.
I'll get rid of that beast.
We can't use your machine with all these people watching.
There's a limit to media censoring.
Aren't there other superhumans like Grosse Augen that'll fight beasts?
Each superhuman has its own evil to fight.
- Not just beasts... - It's Earth-chan!
- Where? - Over there!
A superhuman that's been around over 10 years.
One of the oldies.
Is it a robot?
I told you it was too early to use it.
But it's just started.
You'll still help out, won't you?
The robbers that Earth-chan was after were controlling the beast.
Everybody knows about Earth-chan.
But it's not in the papers or news.
It's against the law to report about superhumans.
So that's why it's only in tabloids.
But this is all lies, too.
We make them do that.
That's the Superhuman Bureau's job too?
Superhumans are easily misunderstood.
That's why we have to hide and protect them.
But...
So that they don't have to hide forever,
a Bureau like ours is made.
Hoshinoko. We might've been a little hasty in joining them.
By the way, Miss Emi. Where were you yesterday?
I'm Prof. Hitoyoshi's assistant too.
Hitoyoshi...?
My foster father.
As if they'd been waiting for Grosse Augen to disappear,
the number of rampaging beasts rose rapidly around that time.
(Another monster!)
(Countermeasure talks started)
(Protests demanding action)
But none of the beasts really caused much damage.
Because...
Fight, Gigander Seven!
As the number of beasts increased,
Superhumans that had been laying low and new superhumans
stood up and came to the rescue.
Plus, there were rumors of a certain superhuman.
Climbers claimed that what killed two beasts was a huge superhuman.
(November, the 41st of Shinka Era Kamata)
Gross Augen went back to space.
You saw it too.
But this rapid increase of beasts.
Isn't it related to Grosse Augen leaving?
I don't know.
Are we there yet, Fuurouta?
Think he'll eat it?
He'll eat anything.
That's amazing.
Hey, if you let him eat that, it'll make GaGon stupid.
Hey!
Oh, it's Fuurouta.
Hiroyuki, let me see that thing you told me about.
You're a ghost and want to see a beast?
Ghosts are so yesterday.
It's so cute!
This is the beast?
Who are they?
They're good guys.
They're pros at this stuff.
Wow, a beast professor?
What are you going to do? You can't just step on him with Equus.
Excuse me. Are you from the Superhuman Bureau?
I've heard rumors.
An institution solely for superhuman cases.
Um, what is this company?
We want to do a late night broadcast.
Radio DJs are popular these days.
So I want to do a show that specializes on beasts.
That's why it's "Radio Wave."
I'm the president, Matsumoto.
Beasts are popular.
Not just with kids, but with young people like me.
So if a beast appears, I want to report it live.
I'm consulting ad agencies about making a program like that.
And this factory?
All my father left me was this and some debt.
I couldn't go to college and had to make a living like this.
So make it big with the beast radio?
Well, that too.
But I feel sorry for the beasts.
Feel sorry?
Humans are what created beasts.
They're born from wars, experiments, and even industrial waste.
Humans made them, so humans should think about coexisting.
No, beasts were created from nature.
Can humans coexist with volcanoes and earthquakes?
We already do.
We live on volcanic islands,
and can't run from earthquakes or typhoons.
And what about the little beast?
GaGon is Hiroyuki's little brother.
Little brother?
7 years ago, when a beast appeared in Tokyo and caused great damage...
(January, the 34th of Shinka Era Tokyo)
Darn it... Darn it!
The beast Giganto Gon was controlled by an international conspiracy ring.
It was killed by the superhuman Rainbow Knight.
The homeless Hiroyuki had a brother who died from malnutrition.
To him, the baby beast was like a reincarnation of his brother.
He's really gentle and hasn't grown in years.
Seeing them, I know humans and beasts can get along.
Winner, GaGon!
I believe it too. Right, Senpai?
Let me consult my superiors once.
Why are you here?
And you, Mr. Detective?
The crime lab analyzed the dead bodies of the recurring beasts.
It's not clear, but the cells are similar.
What do you mean?
Meaning somebody could be breeding the beasts,
and selling them to crime syndicates all over.
There was a report that there were beast lovers here.
See for yourself.
You can't breed beasts here.
They're just a bunch of beast groupies.
There are lots of superhumans battling beasts these days.
What are you conspiring?
Conspire? Are you really a detective?
Yeah, I am.
Specializing in superhuman crimes.
Somebody's making beasts appear to make superhumans look good.
Or that's what rumor says.
Are you being serious?
Thank you for keeping GaGon a secret.
It's nothing.
So you didn't hate beasts after all.
I just hate that detective even more.
He may be harmless now, but I'll come check occasionally.
So we'll meet again.
What, you like him GaGon?
He's hardly ever like this.
Let go. I said, let go!
The beasts kept appearing. And so did the superhumans.
Around that time, shocking news reached us from overseas.
(Master Ultima back from Mars)
(Tomorrow, press conference broadcast live across the globe)
President Uchihata. And Shimazu is here too.
We three haven't met in a while.
Is it about Master Ultima?
Things are about to get messy.
Talking like this is too sluggish.
Let's be open.
Military use of beasts?
They've captured this space beast.
The White House's ace against the Soviet.
It's a weapon of justice.
Our government wouldn't follow suit.
But stop the heroic superhumans beating evil beasts act.
We don't want the US army coming.
The police are investigating the beast trade.
I can't stop them unless you cut ties.
I thought it was a good idea though.
To make society learn of superhumans,
we need a clear-cut evil force.
Companies and countries can be good and evil.
But beasts are evil to everyone.
Strangely, some people of this planet tend to love these harmful beasts.
Seems like there's a beast craze going on.
13 beasts that have appeared since last autumn
have all been sold to each organization by the same maker.
So Detective Shiba's guess was right.
They've been supplying enemies for the superhumans.
We'll make it so none of it had happened. The ministry has agreed.
The broker was Beastly Radio Wave Japan Inc.
Senpai!
That can't be.
Senpai!
Ms. Ukyo!
- What have you guys done? - I'm sorry.
We've done something beyond repair.
We cultivated real beasts using bits of GaGon.
The president...
There's a path to the basement. Here's the key.
Hurry up, Ms. Ukyo.
Matsumoto!
What have you been doing here?
The Superhuman Bureau! Why?
What are you doing?
What? Beasts are anger. Mine. Human's.
Go, Big GaGon!
Beast...
Lock one.
Lock two.
Lock three.
Miss Emi.
It's okay, Jiro. It's okay.
Big Sis Ukyo...
Emi...
You all know that beasts aren't just big and scary, right?
The jolly beast GaGon will come to your town soon.
He'll be happy after eating dumplings and rice.
GaGon is your little brother.
