Active Raid

3:38 PM, Itabashi Ward

3:38 PM, Komae City

Wait, is he causing the traffic jam?

3:38 PM, Chiyoda Ward

3:38 PM, Shinagawa Ward

The Willwear that broke the Itabashi Ward's convenience store windows

is on the move near Nishi-Takashimadaira Station.

And Chiyoda and Shinagawa Wards?

Wait.

I just got word from Funabashi and Matsudo.

Um, we're getting requests for help from

Higashiyamato and Warabi, too.

Why is all this happening at once?

They're appearing in different spots and doing different things.

Where's the video?

We don't have video from anywhere yet?

Everyone's in a panic.

Is this crime being done by a team?

Boss?

Which track should the command vehicle use?

Um...

We'll start by going to the special standby platform in Kichijouji.

We'll all head out at once.

But...

We don't have enough people, do we?

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 5: Who Benefits?

I never expected to see multiple Willwear crimes at once.

Requesting

What shall we do?

Connection Approved

Take them in the order they came in?

Yes.

We'll just have to let the local police handle it until we arrive.

Let's just have everyone prepare to launch, starting with Oscar I.

Understood.

Kenzou-san, start heading back.

Unit 8 is coming.

Kogure-kun, get out of there in three minutes.

And...

Where's the criminal?

You're late!

What are you doing?

He already ran!

H-He ran?

Oscar II, is your criminal still there?

Wait, you too, Oscar V?

Yeah.

It's the same with everyone.

We all missed them.

Damn!

It's like they knew when we'd get here!

That's from the incident before, right?

What did they want to accomplish?

Who cares? Let's go.

Chiiko's concert is going to start!

What is this?

Are live clubs usually like this?

Chiiko's might be a little special.

The children die with their guts ripped out.

Once again, the world is covered in blood, beneath the blue sky.

Is that Chiiko?

Yeah, her name's Mibu Chiiko, so her stage name is Mivv.

But you useless pigs just do

what those bastards in the system tell you to.

Crazy, isn't it?

Nothing like when she was in school!

Kiss my ass.

The world is full of shit,

but at least I can wrap myself in your intestines!

Just slice your belly open, yank out your organs, and throw them away.

Slice it open!

Throw them away!

You can be the real you.

Hinata?

Hinata?!

There were more simultaneous Willwear crimes

Simultaneous Willwear Crimes Citizens fed up with useless police

Your Morning Show

just a while ago, I heard.

Yes, a Willwear carrying a fire extinguisher

sprayed foam everywhere, for instance.

Well, I hate to say it,

but these are all small-scale crimes.

In one Machida case, they rang a doorbell and ran away.

The problem is how useless Unit 8 is, though.

They've always arrived too late, and haven't caught a single one.

Damn them!

They don't have a clue.

But it's not as if they're giving false information.

What are they after?

Maybe society-wide unrest.

It's like they just want to shake up the system.

If we could capture even one, we might get somewhere.

If only we could get there first and set an ambush...

That's it!

Huh? I...

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

Chiiko?

That's...

Was that a little too much?

Well, I mean, it...

It was great!

Just like Hell.

Well, this is normal.

Many people do extreme performance art.

You can join the Sabbath, too!

I'm really happy, though!

Hardly any of my old classmates come to my performances!

Yes?

Are you done? Other people are waiting.

Pardon us. We'll be going.

Sorry I can't talk more!

Don't worry.

I see...

So this is what you wanted to do.

This has my concert schedule.

Come see me again?

Um, it looks like the ambush isn't going to work.

Unit 8

The Tokyo government isn't interested in anything without precedent.

No way!

Man, that's bureaucrats for you.

Fine, I guess we'll talk to Inagi-kun.

It's pretty handy to have the governor on speed dial.

U-Um, he's the one against it, supposedly.

Inagi-san is? Why?

I wasn't told why.

I remember now. That guy...

Wasn't he Mivv's manager?

Do you know him?

His name's Kondou-san, I think.

He's two years older.

He was famous for extreme political actions.

He was a student at our school?

Yeah.

Trying to reach Inagi-san?

He's not picking up.

Well, he's the governor.

He must be busy.

I'm sure.

But I wonder if there's some reason.

He probably isn't opposed to the idea for personal reasons.

We don't know that.

Haven't you heard people say that the Tokyo government does too much,

and the opposing factions are starting to come together?

So he's opposed out of self-preservation?

No way. Not Inagi-san.

You really trust Inagi-kun, huh?

Honestly, I owe him a lot.

Why must I take out the trash for people who are too lazy to do it themselves?

You really like Inagi-kun.

Did something happen a long time ago?

Well...

I got involved in something really stupid once.

What is this, Kuroki?

I thought you were joining our gang.

So what are you doing with them?

You said you were going to hurt them.

They snitched to the cops on us.

Because you were causing a ruckus near them.

They're orphans! They don't have the right to complain.

Our tax money feeds them!

This isn't cool.

You guys...

You don't even pay taxes, do you?

What are you trying to say?

That your gang is shit,

and I'm glad I didn't join it!

You bastard!

Jackass!

Take this!

Don't move, Kuroki!

Think you can get away with that?

Get him!

You're dead!

Show us how cool you can be.

I wonder how much you can take.

What's with those eyes?

Don't screw with me!

I wasn't a good kid back then.

Even so, I couldn't stand bullying.

But I didn't really think things through.

Huh?

Who the hell are you?

And then he came.

Who are you?

He was teaching a lesson

to people who dearly needed one.

But he was naturally so brutal.

To be honest, I was scared.

Um—
