I'm Yoshinaga.
I haven't lived a life with many private events worth discussing,
but ever since I was a child
I've been conducting research to save people.
What about your family or your romantic life?
I had a lover, long ago.
She was the daughter of my mentor
and, well, she was pretty and kind.
I truly loved her from the bottom of my heart.
Why did you two break up, then?
No, I never said we broke up.
Well, that's good enough for my interview.
"Illusory Love"
Look at that!
Scary!
That's Ayame's father!
That's her papa!
Scary!
What's he doing here?
Why won't he leave?
Jeez.
I wish he'd go home.
Children of criminals should stay home!
Take that.
Hey, you brats!
Stop it.
Ayame...
Dad, wake up.
Morning, Ayame.
To think I'd see the day.
Getting woken up by my daughter's voice is pretty nice.
Keep dawdling and there won't be anything left!
Of my breakfast?
Of us!
Huh?
What?!
That's...!
The enemy! It's the enemy!
Gibia are here!
Nothing new there.
Shut it!
Looks like Gibia have appeared.
Yoshinaga,
stay here until things are settled.
Yes, please handle it.
I've nearly completed the vaccine.
Kenroku and I will fight.
Sure.
Guren-dono, Ayame, back us up.
Got it.
Yeah.
If things go south, toss in a bomb.
W-Will do.
Let's go!
The Meteora... is just taking it?
Kenroku!
Don't let it through here!
D-D-D-Did we get it?
It didn't work!
Second floor!
Both of you, get down!
Between the eyes!
Aim between the eyes!
We're not letting you go any further!
Hey!
G-Get away from it!
Just a little more...
And then...
Sakuma!
Hand them over!
Wh-What are you doing?!
Eat this!
Sensui!
It's done!
Now she'll regain human intelligence, at least!
No way!
It can't be!
Doctor.
How could this happen?!
Meteora...
Yoshinaga?
Th-This can't be...
How...
How dare you kill Meteora!
What do you mean?!
Meteora and I are not from this planet.
Yoshinaga, what are you saying?
What do you mean?
On my planet, if you drink the blood of the god, Soma,
you will gain special powers.
However, anyone incompatible with it will become a failure...
a type of monster.
Meteora's father was conducting research to create artificial Soma
to replace the god's blood.
I was his apprentice, and her fiancé.
One day, Meteora mistakenly imbibed the artificial Soma.
My mentor and I placed her in a cryo-capsule
and began searching for a treatment.
Around that same time, the ruler of our planet died.
During the chaotic fighting over Soma,
I collected blood samples from the failures in order to create a vaccine
and fled the planet.
However, I flew too close to the sun and my spaceship was damaged,
separating Meteora's cryo-capsule from the ship.
The vessel containing Meteora and my blood samples from the failures
was cast down unto Europe,
and I spent some time orbiting Earth.
Ultimately, I landed here in Japan and met up with all of you.
No way...
Meteora was now completely a failure,
so I began my research to see if I could at least restore intelligence to Gibia.
Since we both come from the same planet,
Meteora was able to follow my brainwaves and reach us here.
How could this be...
So... you're telling us Meteora has been chasing you this entire time?
Not consciously, but I'm sure she was.
Then...
Now that I can no longer save Meteora,
there's no point to having any treatment.
Everything I've done till now was for naught.
And now...
I no longer have a purpose...
I won't allow you all to live...
What the hell?!
Way to lash out for no reason!
What?!
Ayame?!
What the hell have you done to her?!
As a byproduct of pursuing a treatment,
I completed a virus that transforms humans into an even deadlier type of Gibia.
What?!
Ayame!
Ayame! Ayame!
The sound...
Ayame!
Ayame-san!
Doctor, what is that vial?!
This is the one I'll be using.
What do you mean?!
I said I'll be using this one.
Why would you turn yourself into a Gibia?!
With Meteora gone,
I have no more reason to let you all live!
So, rather than transforming and fighting you all without awareness,
I'm going to kill you all of my own free will and avenge Meteora.
Using this!
This will transform me into a deadlier Gibia with my intelligence still intact.
Perfect for taking you all down.
That's good enough!
Even if she becomes a Gibia,
as long as she's still my daughter...!
Please! Give me that vaccine!
Give me that vaccine!
Please, Doctor!
Stop this already!
You might not be able to save Meteora,
but that doesn't make us enemies!
Damn it!
How dare you! How dare you!
Ayame!
Young lady!
An end like this is just as fitting.
It feels like the cells in my body are exploding.
This is what it feels like to become a Gibia?!
Damn it!
Ayame-san...
Yes!
Wha?!
She can fly?!
Hamuro!
Mikimoto!
Sakuma!
Damn it!
Kenroku, be careful!
Boss!
Ayame, forgive me!
Old man, lend me strength.
Kenroku!
Guren?!
Guren! Guren!
Hey, boss, I'm going on ahead.
I was happy I got to be with you.
I'm sure your daughter feels the same way.
Guren, let me...
let me see your face better.
Dying to protect you is a better death than I could ask for.
I hope I was able to repay you at least a little...
Guren...
You were too good of a subordinate for me.
You stuck with someone like me for over thirty years...
Thank you.
Hatonami-dono,
I'm sorry.
A daughter should never have to kill their parent,
and the reverse shouldn't happen either.
You weren't the one who killed her.
After your family was finally reunited, too...
How could... How could this...
