Hamatora The Animation (Hamatora)

Boss, is there room at the counter for us?

Are you being a wiseass?

You can tell by looking.

You'd get mad if I'd sat down without asking.

It's been a while.

I think you have me mistaken for someone else.

Is that so?

I must be, then.

Who are you?

Are you Nice-kun's friend?

He's not a friend.

Nice to meet you, Miss.

Miss...

He's such a nice person!

Nope, he probably isn't that nice.

Minimum Owners Loitering in a Park

He's the mastermind behind that.

Huh?

File 11: Flight of the Victor

Why do we have to be discriminated against?

We're bad because we have power?

That can't be true!

We have to fight back against anyone who comes against us!

That's right!

Idiots...

Why is Chiyuu being attacked?

How would I know?

Three!

You scum!

Are you going to use violence?

How can we let adults like you take care of them?

We'll go tell the world which is the better choice for the children's future!

Chiyuu!

Hang in there, Chiyuu!

Chiyuu!

Why...

Why is this happening?

Those bastards!

544...

545...

546...

54... 6...

547.

54... 7...

548, 549.

54...

Hajime-san...

Let's slim down together.

54... 8!

Thank you.

Why?

You're a Minimum Holder, too.

Sorry.

I'm just taking things out on you.

I'm in a bad mood.

Was it a Minimum ability that led you to my apartment?

I know someone who can see ten minutes into the future.

I asked for her help.

The coffee can was still warm.

The one who drank it had only left a short while ago,

five minutes at most.

So I had her look around within a five plus ten,

or fifteen-minute range of the police station.

The Mighty Script is a great

search-and-capture tool once you narrow down the range.

Once you've zeroed in on your target,

you can keep using Mighty every 10 minutes to figure out

where the target lives.

I see.

Scary, right?

If you got stalked by Honey, it'd be hard to shake her tail.

I'd been working under the wrong assumption.

Looking for "Moral" wouldn't have helped me find you

because you weren't wearing his face.

What did you do with Art?

This isn't like you.

Asking a question when you already know the answer...

Are you doing this on purpose?

The Transformation Minimum is quite useful.

Because of it, I could readily infiltrate the police

and disrupt the investigation.

Well...

I suppose half of it was thanks to Inspector Art's face.

I should thank him.

I just decided what I'll do with you.

I see.

I'm looking forward to it.

But before I do, tell me everything.

Gladly.

The substance necessary to develop non-innate Minimum Holders...

I call it "Essence."

Essence can only be extracted from the brain of an innate Minimum Holder.

Still taking out brains?

It hurts, you know? To get your brain taken out.

My current production method allows me

to create twenty-four non-innate Minimum Holders

from every one innate Minimum Holder.

That low efficiency can still use some improvement, and requires further research.

Your goal is to make everyone Minimum Holders, right?

Yes, it is.

You have poor taste.

Thank you.

This is a nice blend.

Thanks loads.

The black hoodie guys who've

been rioting since yesterday were organized by you, right?

That's not exactly accurate.

They sought power.

I merely answered their call.

I embedded a message on a video

and gave guns to young people who heard the message.

Those who wanted guns after watching the video

Do you want a gun?

were those who had an extreme reaction to the word "gun"

and those who sought power.

I see.

So that case was related.

You didn't send guns to every kid who sent you an e-mail.

You kept a couple to use in the current incident.

I do feel a little remorse.

I delayed empowering those poor youths who wanted power.

What are you trying to do?

I merely wish to create a world that is equal.

Wow. So cool.

There are those with power, and those without.

Don't you think such a world is too unfair?

I do.

That is why I decided to empower the tragically weak.

That is how I can bring about a world that is equal—

That's ridiculous!

Because of you, Yokohama is in a crisis!

They are brandishing their newfound powers and feeling more alive than they've ever been.

Isn't it more conducive to their health to vent their frustrations to the outside,

rather than keeping them pent up inside because they are weak?

Could be.

Nice-kun, what are you saying?

There's nothing wrong with wanting power.

People are free to choose how they will use the power they obtained, too.

They should use it at will, with personal responsibility.

That power is their own, after all.

Wonderful.

You are exactly the kind of person I thought you were.

That's no compliment.

Why was she hiding the fact that she was a Minimum Holder?

I don't know.

Are we doing such bad things that we can't be allowed to live?

Are you saying we're in the wrong?!

Don't mess with us!

Don't discriminate against Minimum Holders!

Don't discriminate!

Shouldn't we stop them, Doc?

I don't feel like it right now.

Yeah...

I told you I'm not interested! Bug off!

Cops?

They want us to help contain riots happening all over Yokohama.

That's an important job.

Yes, under normal circumstances.

What should we believe in to keep on living?

And why?

Hey! Stop resisting!

Man, they just keep coming.

It seems there is always at least

one youth wearing a black hoodie on the scene.

It's logical to conclude that they are leading the riots.

Leading the riots?

But that's not what is really going on.

Huh?

The human heart is truly terrifying.

The tragedy of the weak necessitates their salvation.

However, I believe the strong are also deserving of salvation.

Just as the weak are eclipsed by the strong,

the strong lack equals who can stand beside them.

Both are alone in that respect.

That's why I want to save you, Nice-kun.

Oh...?

I am the only one who can understand your isolation.

That is why I decided to become your equal.

I decided I would save you, no matter what I had to do.

I want to become the messiah.

But above all, I want to be the one who saves you.

Nice-kun's lost it...

No one's asking you to, idiot.

They so piss me off!! Totally creepy! I hope they all die lololol TBH they're scary...

Kill him.

Minimum Holders who side with scum should die!

Huh?

Who said anything about siding with these guys?

Hajime!
