The Next Generation Patlabor Tokyo War

At the outbreak of the coup d'état in 2002,

turning Tokyo into a battlefield.

The mastermind was of the original SDF personnel,

Yukihito Tsuge.

The case was resolved with the help of Special Vehicle Unit 2.

Tsuge was arrested and is now still in prison.

However, after the event, the two captains of the SV2,

Kiichi Goto and Shinobu Nagumo disappeared.

PATLABOR TOKYO WAR

A Middle Eastern Country

Hey, hey, hey! What do you think you're doing?

Hey, no! What...

What's the problem?

The kid's trying to bring the letter, sir.

Here is sara.

-I'll take it from here. -Yes, sir.

-It's done, you can go now. -Yeah, you can go back.

Nagumo!

Miss Nagumo.

I'll get the one on the left. You get the brown hair on the right.

Oh, but ...

It's okay, this girl will not even pay attention to them. Boom!

Who are you guys?

The Civilian Police.

-No way! -It's true! We're Mobile Police Squadron, you know.

We don't know.

Thank you for your job!

Moron! You asshole!

I'll blow your *** off, you ** idiot!

Metropolitan Police SV2 Chief Gotoda, the police are looking for you.

Metropolitan Police Special Vehicle 2nd Unit Chief, Keiji Gotoda. Patrol Labor Squadron.

Sounds important, huh?

Yes, it's the appendix division.

Appendix?

What does it mean, appendix?

You do not know appendix?

Appendix has a very important role in our body.

What a smart mouth.

I'm glad.

I don't care you took time off for your injury or whatever, but it's causing problem for others.

Whether you have any reason to falsify your identity or to cover up you're policeman.

I agree.

You are called Gotoda-san, right? Even though perhaps you have a reason for this,

but when this happened during emergency time for Tokyo...

Do you really...

do not know anything?

This afternoon around 2:20

Tokyo metropolitan and Odaiba's connector,

known as the "Rainbow Bridge", has exploded.

It's such a mess.

Isn't this a terrorist attack?

I don't know.

This is a terrorist attack, isn't it?

We don't know.

Blocked road between Odaiba and Shibaura No through vehicle

Rainbow Bridge bombing, high possibility of terrorist attack

The two hours before the explosion,

Department of Transportation and dozens of organizations

24h Road Closure by DOT and Local Government

received an anonymous phone call,

claiming the person blew up the Rainbow Bridge.

That's awesome!

This entire building is a non-smoking area.

It's been a long time since that incident in Niigata.

Then, what are you doing here?

I want to give you a recording.

What's in it?

Something very interesting.

Shiobara-kun.

Sorry for interrupting.

Sure enough, this is it.

A private studio was filming aerial footage above the Rainbow Bridge when this happened.

This is where they get the images from.

The next one is the filtered image.

They put a different filter on this frame to see any change.

What's that?

That…

Looks like a missile.

That's not a Maverick from the look of it.

AGM-114 Hellfire

It's been widely used in the 1991 Gulf War combat and Iraqi War in 2003.

It was also used in Afghanistan for the assassination of Osama bin Laden.

But it ended up in failure.

So, they need to launch it from a missile transporter.

Japan-US helicopter gunship for sure. Even the Coast Guard helicopter SH-60K can carry it.

Of course, they can use a UAV instead.

But judging from this image, it's most likely...

This outline looks like a combat helicopter, right?

The US Army has Hell Hunter AH-88. GSDF is also adopting modified versions called AH-88J.

It can also equipped with 20mm cannon and ground rockets, and 8 rounds of Hellfire missiles.

This is not a definite profile. The sea contour messed up the image.

Like it's been masked.

You might say the color data pattern is off.

What's that?

I heard that the GSDF is improving Hell Hunters in a series of tests.

I always felt that it is equipped with a thermo-optic camouflage device.

Thermo-optic camouflage?

It's not radar stealth.

They are invisible armed helicopters.

Wow, they're really powerful then?

They changed the designation to AH-88J2,

Grey Ghost.

I'm really surprised.

I'm impressed.

Captain Goto, although you have good subordinates,

but now it's time for the adults.

The bridge was attacked three days ago.

On the way from a military base to Gotemba, there is a helicopter gunship missing.

It's not being stolen.

Is it just gone?

The gunship didn't even land from its test flight.

Like that boy said, it's an invisible helicopter.

But that video captured the invisible helicopter.

Although the military refused to acknowledge anything,

once people saw this invisible shadow, Japan will panic.

Ironic, isn't it?

Anyway the military will bury this along with their secrets.

The Army and Intelligence chiefs keep their silence.

But all Intelligence Agencies are in full swing searching for the missing helicopter.

It's really an elegant hobby, isn't it?

Caring for these fishes causes a lot of trouble.

You cannot take out the plants and you need to change the water regularly.

Six troublesome fishes.

The Ghost appeared in broad daylight on the bridge.

What's the purpose?

Is it to showcase the latest helicopter technology and drag this country to war?

The Ministry of Defense secretly investigated an organization about a year ago.

Could it be?

Yes, that Yukihito Tsuge's trial.

13 years ago, he orchestrated a coup with his charismatic leadership.

Now he's in prison.

There are students of that Yukihito Tsuge.

This is a no-smoking area.

You've met Tsuge.

What do you think?

Special prisoners has been monitored continuously, you know?

"Do you still believe in righteousness?"

I only heard this once.

What then?

"I'm here because I believe."

It's really what that man said.

Has the Police Department seen him?

I'm thirsty.

Do you want a cup of tea?

Do you have movies or drama series?

I cannot seem to kick the habit away.

Fortunately I don't smoke nor drink.

You're the first one who doesn't get addicted.

What do you really want me to do?

Just do what you've been doing with SV2.

I don't know if it's a tradition, but Goto-senpai is different.

He is a decent civil servant.

How can someone stole the the helicopter and just vanished?

It's extremely hard to transport a big machine like that within the main island.

And how did he hide from strict government surveillance?

As well as supplying fuel and ammunition to Grey Ghost.

There's a military organization backing them.

When Grey Ghost went missing on training exercise, it's only equipped with blank bombs.

But the explosion means the missile is the real thing.

Only a genuine military organization can do it. This is the best proof.

If so, what is their next objective?

In any case, before they're caught,

I need your help.

Now that I know everything, I don't think I can get away from it.

What is Tsuge's opinion of justice?

For him it's ideological and political token to support his principle.

That's his morality.

That meant something to us half a century ago.

Officer Haibara, 30 years old.

Pilot of the stolen Grey Ghost.

This is her first time flying combat helicopter.

She has a superior talent as a pilot, but she's difficult to work with.

She was warned repeatedly from contradicting her superiors and breach of discipline.

Why do they let that kind of pilot to fly the latest gunship?

She's a genius in flying helicopters.

She's a celebrity in her camp.

One thing eludes me.

A gunship has two seats.

If Haibara stole the helicopter, why didn't her co-pilot do anything?

His body was found in Fuji's forest.

Headshot wound.

We recovered this photo from her locker.

This is all that Haibara has left.

We tried to clear it up through image processing,

but we have no idea what that tower is.

I was really surprised.

Are you talking about the video just now?

A lightning fast helicopter with a thermo-optic camouflage.

But you can still see it with the radar.

Because it's just the prototype of AH-88.

But in actual combat, this wouldn't be a problem.

What do you mean?

Imagine in some hill terrain, you take a defensive position.

Rather than being undetected by a radar, it's more important to be unrecognized by the air defense system.

Who can think so?

I'm guessing it's the military R&D division.

That's just a guess.

How should I know?

But there are jet fighters with stealth ability.

Although the radar cannot detect it, you can still see it with your eyes.
