Active Raid

Tokyo is a target.

Even with the Logos threat gone,

crimes involving Willwear misuse still occur,

and are escalating by the day.

And to make matters worse,

the quicksand zone is now the perfect hiding place for illegal immigrants.

Tokyo... no, our entire country

has been left far too undefended until now.

You haven't changed, Inagi-san.

I'm grateful.

Having the governor's direct support

has enabled us to make development of these enhancement units a reality.

How did you deceive the Diet?

"Deceived" is putting it so crudely...

How did you—

Right, whatever. Let's start the test.

Wait a second...

I'm doing final checks now.

Sure, sure.

Well, it's thanks to Inagi-san that Unit 8 has a lot more freedom to act than before.

We're grateful.

What's with that laugh? It's creepy!

You've sure grown up, huh?

What are you doing? You're the governor!

Stop laughing!

In the future,

when something happens beyond the normal police's capacity,

they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.

This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE, the Third Mobile Assault Unit.

File 2: Endless Avenger

The hit-and-run driver is on Yokosuka Bridge, fleeing toward the Bahori Coast.

An incident in Kanagawa?

But...

We're about to start the test.

If you have complaints, tell Funasaka-san.

Forget this and head to the scene.

Otsuka

Kanagawa

This is Oscar II, heading out first!

I'm too late?

What's that?

This is the seventh incident.

The culprit is committing crimes to draw out the police.

It seems safe to assume that.

And here's the footage we have of them.

What's this Willwear?

Is that a Centaur Unit?

A Centa... What?

I'll explain.

The Willwear is an off-the-shelf, all-purpose model.

But what makes this one special is this part, the Centaur Unit.

By combining, it can bring out the Willwear's full power,

vastly increasing its maneuverability.

It has a spare battery,

so you can use it over a long period of time.

In the future, we hope it can be used

to develop remote areas or for rescue operations in disaster zones.

The Polska police originally

developed this unit to enable the formation of a Willwear cavalry.

In Poland?

Seeing it used for crime this way is extremely disappointing.

Is the criminal someone who has something against Poland?

Or against the police?

Our only clue is this mark left at the scene.

It may be some kind of message, since it's left behind at every crime scene.

To Director Kazama Confidential

Hey, this envelope—

Hi, hi! I figured it out!

I bet this is what the mark is!

I see... It's the Aster Electrical Engineering company badge?

What's a company badge?

Is it like a company logo?

That's right. Ours is...

This.

Of all things, it's the company involved in that incident?

Incident?

It was about eight years ago.

This company manufactures precision Willwear parts,

but it was also involved in the illegal export of devices that could be

converted into weapons of mass destruction.

The media reported

that some of the top brass on the police force may have known,

but covered it up in return for bribes.

Huh...

"Huh," nothing.

You need to know this, right?

The police firmly denied it, of course.

But during the frenzy over the incident, a police officer resigned.

A voluntary resignation, ostensibly.

Name: Raidou Tetsuo Occupation: Unknown Location: Unknown

Sergeant Raidou Tetsuo.

He was 45 years old.

He voluntarily resigned?

Yes.

Naturally, the media wasn't satisfied with that.

They thought he was just being used as a scapegoat.

If that's true,

it would give him plenty of reason to hate the police.

Sounds like another big mess.

Incoming Call

Yes, this is Unit 8.

What?

The driver is only slightly injured.

If it's Raidou who did this,

and he kidnapped the director,

does that mean the director was involved in the case?

I couldn't say for sure...

This is Yamabuki.

After leaving the police force, Raidou went

through several jobs and addresses.

He disappeared from his last known address, a Nerima apartment, last year.

Asami knows Director Kazama pretty well, right?

That's the one who took advantage of Kazari-kun.

Would he tell her anything private?

So I mean...

Is there anyone who hated the director?

She seems to be in a good mood.

Yes, this is Yamabuki.

Boss,

Raidou is still missing,

but I found a storage warehouse rented in his name.

A rented warehouse?

Good work, Polish policewoman!

Asami, that's enough.

You can buy us some bean mochi as a gift.

Bye.

Emilia-chan, you be ready to go, too.

Me, too?

Yes. Isn't Kyoukai-kun with you?

Be ready.

Hey, Kuroki-san...

Huh?

Vitals, all green.

Lock.

Inner unit, begin output.

Oscar VII, set Foundation Omega Unit.

It's been a long time, Inspector Kazama.

Or should I say "Director" now?

Who are you?

You were right. I was a failure as an officer.

But why only me?

Why do the police still employ the others, and why do they still get promotions?

Are you Raidou?

That's right. I'm Raidou.

The man you forced into retirement ten years ago.

Well?

I-I'm not really seeing anything.

Go around to the back. Break in on my signal.

What's wrong?

A-All right.

Raidou, I swear I had nothing to do with that case.

Believe me!

Shut up!

Don't move, Raidou!

Unit 8?

Purge your Willwear!

Slowly.

That's right. Don't try anything funny.

No!

What are you doing, Oscar VII?!

Oscar VII, the director!

R-Right!

Damn it, give it up already!

Take this!

K-Kyoukai-san!

What? The Falcon Unit?

Fire it now!

It's not tested yet—

I'll test it during the fight!

Oh, fine...

There it is!

Okay!

Permission to use burst mode!

Permission confirmed.

Permission confirmed!

Permission confirmed!

Destructive Ram Cannon,

fire!
