MPD Psycho (多重人格探偵サイコ)

No...

No...

You aren't Shin-chan.

Who are you?

Yosuke Kobayashi?

Kazuhiko Amamiya?

Or Shinji Nishizono?

Let's talk about Kazuhiko Amamiya.

Stop!

Stop, Amamiya! Don't shoot him!

Don't shoot, Amamiya-san! Let me get a good shot!

Stop it, Amamiya! You can't kill that guy!

You can't do whatever you please! You know the regulations!

Are you sure it's alright?

Skipping work, hanging out at a place like this.

You're a chief of sorts, aren't you Sasayama-san?

Yup, of a sort.

It'd be problematic if there was an incident while the chief is hanging out here.

The safety of this New Town depends on you.

Flattering doesn't work with me, Chizuko.

There won't be any incidents.

But there was a series of bizarre murders just recently, wasn't there?

You know, the kind of stuff you see in TV dramas.

Those kind of extraordinary incidents only happen on TV... got it?

Is that so?

That is so.

Plus, in an emergency like this, TV stations are restricting themselves from reporting murders.

The police and criminals have no choice but to restrict themselves, too.

How come?

How come? 'Cause the Showa era might be coming to an end, that's why.

Amamiya Kazuhiko.

Let's talk about him.

Stop it, Amamiya what're you thinking!? You fool!

Amamiya!

Amamiya!

You run fast, don't you?

Chizuko...

Bang! For real?

Aren't the comics you're reading in pretty bad taste?

You know, when you're a police chief, you need to study youth subcultures so that you can prevent delinquency.

How about regulating those kinds of comics?

Kids who read those end up killing people and stuff, don't they?

But there's such a thing as freedom of expression, you know.

It's true, when we were kids comics weren't like this, were they?

They gave us dreams and stuff.

Are we gonna talk about Kazuhiko Amamiya?

And not Shinji Nishizono?

Doesn't matter who.

Just like blowing away cherry blossom petals.

Like blowing away cherry blossom petals.

Let's talk about the truth.

Why did you kill her?

She wasn't pregnant at all.

There was nothing in her stomach.

There was nothing in her shit, either.

Don't you think it was an imaginary preg...

Don't be so mad, Mr. Detective.

You'd better tell me.

About what?

Don't feign ignorance!

Why'd you kill pregnant women and take away their embryos?

And I was sure this was what you were talking about.

This is a sacred sign of the ones chosen by Lucy Monostone.

You've got one, too, don't you?

I know we're of the same kind.

The same kind?

You'd have killed her if I didn't.

Mr. Barcode of the same kind.

I'm not!

I'm gonna kill you.

Can you kill me?

Sure, I can, Shinji Nishizono.

Try and kill me, Kazuhiko Amamiya!

Hello? Hello?

I see you can do it.

Hello?

Oh it's me, I'm about to die.

What? Who are you?

Die.

I'll kill you and disappear myself.

Don't worry, I'll hush up this case.

Alright, Amamiya?

Amamiya?

Who on earth is Amamiya?

I'm not Amamiya.

Who...

...am I?

You're Kobayashi.

Yosuke Kobayashi.

Could it be...

...you returned to being Yosuke Kobayashi?

I've got a great shot of the very moment Kazuhiko Amamiya killed Shinji Nishizono.

The Return of the Multiple Personality Detective Kazuhiko Amamiya

The Memory of a Sin and Floating Flowers

Ah! Here he comes.

Hello!

Oh, you're back again already, Sasayama-san.

Hey, don't say it like that, it hurts.

You're the only friend I've got in this town, so don't be so cold with me.

So dramatic.

I'm not being dramatic.

I was a career guy of sorts and now I've been transferred to be the chief in a burb like this.

The only person I know around here is you, my ex subordinate.

I'm not the kind to make many friends to begin with.

So be nice to me.

He's right, be nice.

Thanks.

Plus, being friendly with the state authority could be advantageous in many ways.

How?

Well, for instance...

...to have them escort us when we need to make a fast delivery.

Ah, so I wouldn't have to get wet on a rainy day like this.

I know you don't like rain.

Yeah, I'd be happy to help you in any way you like.

'Cause we're friends, right?

Yeah, we're friends.

But you two are really close with each other.

He's my precious husband.

Newly weds...

It was an arranged marriage, wasn't it?

Oh, let me tell you something in case you didn't know.

With an arranged marriage, the romance starts after the wedding.

Right? Did you know?

I didn't have the slightest idea!

It's murder!

Give me the change next time.

Excuse us!

The crime scene investigation is going on...

...the body of the second female victim was found here at...

For Real?

So I'm on TV?

I knew this was a live broadcast! Misuzu!

I'm first.

So I look pretty on TV?

What? I look fat?

What's that?

Has the battery run out?

Let me see it, too!

No, no! You can't!

Another body's been found!

What!?

I see, so you wanna be a flower...

...said the man.

Why did the guys from the metropolitan police have to come out?

You're asking the wrong person.

First, Officer Manabe who performed the autopsy will report on the condition of the corpses.

Now, let us deliver the report.

I'm in your way, so I'll leave the rest to you.

Yes, sir.

Well, the victim's skull was cut off with a sharp knife, like this.

It left the brain exposed, with a beautiful flower growing in it.

Officer! What on earth is that!?

Well, this is a full scratch figure.

The prototype was made with pound... ah, pound means fine paper clay.

That wasn't my question!

Well, well, I apologize.

He's a so-called mania.

Aaghh! You just called me a mania!

A mania... that's a prejudicial term!

It's a decent art today, the figure making!

So what if it's art you big fool!

I sincerely apologize.

Isono... Machi.

Why did you return?

What are you scheming this time?

So Amamiya's been married.

His new girl looks like his ex, doesn't she?

What's her name?

Chizuko.

Hmm, the same name, too.

So how about him?

Is he aware at all?

Doesn't remember a thing.

From the day he found Chizuko's dead body in her Honda...

...and turned into Kazuhiko Amamiya...

...up until the day he killed Shinji Nishizono...

...and returned to being Yosuke Kobayashi, everything is missing.

He probably doesn't remember you either.

I'm sorry.

That's fine.

I have no intention of discussing the good old days with him.

You mean to say you were never attracted to him as a man?

I am, and always have been, only interested in his ability as a profiler.

Machi...

Could it be...

Yes, Shinji Nishizono is at work again.

That's a lie.

I wouldn't come all the way out here to tell you a lie.

I know you're aware of it too.

Stop it!

Don't go near him.

If you go near Yosuke Kobayashi...

...I'll kill you

Ooh, I'm scared.

He's my best friend.

I want him to find happiness this time around.

So stay out of his way.

His happiness is none of my business.

I just need him.

His skills, that is.
