Active Raid

Special Public Security Fifth Division Third Mobile Assault Unit 8

Special Public Security Fifth Division,

Third Mobile Assault Unit 8.

AKA Unit 8.

As you all know,

they are part of the police's ACTIVE project, which allows them to use Willwears.

They're at the project's cutting edge, and they're also the heroes who

saved Japan from the Logos Incident.

Picking up where we left off last week,

I'm here again with Inspector Kuroki, the ace of Unit 8!

I'm Kuroki Takeru.

Thanks for having me.

Old City Hall, Demolition Site

What, this is all you've got?

If you want to date me, get more money!

Who the hell are you, and why are you in a Willwear?

You...

I have a fun job where you can earn more than that.

How about it?

Let me see...

The gym, large-scale bathhouses... And I like cream pound cake,

but the one who bought it for me is gone now.

You're a hero, but you have common tastes!

I never thought I'd see the day when you'd call me a hero, Komieri-chan.

I'm sorry I was always so negative when I was a newscaster.

By the way, I hear you're going to graduate school?

Yes. At the last Diet meeting,

Nagoya City, Hisaya Odori

they reviewed the laws, in particular with respect to our authority

to independently investigate terrorist organizations.

I figured I should dig a little deeper into it.

And...

There aren't enough of us

New City Hall: Hachioji City, Tokyo

to cover the entire country.

I want to learn from people across the country.

The use of civilian police has been authorized, as well.

Well, "civilian police" is the media's name for it.

You mean the use of civilian companies, right?

With the Tokyo Summit coming up,

having more people is a big help.

Oh, I also heard that you know Governor Inagi.

Yeah, I've known him since we were kids.

He was such a wild child!

Come on, now.

But his family home was lost

Tokyo Summit and Related Governmental Meetings General Plan

Tokyo Space Elevator Construction Plan

to the Quicksand Phenomenon.

Since the same thing happened to me, he looked out for me.

I see.

What do you think is in store for Unit 8 after this?

Nothing important will change.

We'll keep protecting you,

so keep supporting us!

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 1: The Man from the West

Unit 8

Oh, yeah, it starts airing today!

Liko-chan, show me Asami-chan's commercial!

Sure thing!

The one from the West Japan Office, right?

Yeah.

I'll look for it right now!

I'd heard people talking, but I guess they really recorded it, huh?

It probably looks like the result of a lost bet.

She said it was a promotional video, but...

Playing it now!

West Japan

When no one else is there,

you can count on Unit 9!

Unit 9

Leave West Japan to us!

Unit 9 is justice!

Please recommend us to your friends.

Uh...

I heard Sena-san made a commercial, too?

Oh, the one from Nagoya, right?

Here it is!

In Nagoya, where the golden shachihoko watches over us,

the Tanaka Tasuku Company

has been reborn as Senars, Inc.

For all your cleaning needs, from home to business,

come to Kodeki in Higashi Ward to find Senars, Inc.

Chinchikochin!

Looks like they're having a good time.

Quitting was probably the right call.

Director Abigail...

What is it, boss?

Be sure to load things into the warehouse according to the rules I—

Don't sweat the small stuff, f**khead!

F**k—

Director, I respect that you've led this company since before I was born.

But it would be a big help if you'd learn some more Japanese...

Boss, there are no f**king Japanese people here but you.

No need for that crap.

Okay... I get it.

Inbox from The Boor

What? That's rare.

Hey, how are you?

We're about to get two new kids.

If they're anything like Baba Mitchie, I'll send you a picture.

Oh, and I saw your CM and ha ha ha!

Delete.

Thanks for waiting, everyone!

Here are our new kids!

I am here as part of an exchange program with the Polska.

I'm Emilia Edelman, and I shall do my best,

so please honor me with your instruction.

Your Japanese is very good.

And the other...

Huh?

Hey, did you leave?

S-Sorry!

I'm here! Nice to meet you al!

Hey, no need to be so nervous.

I-I'm sorry.

I have scopophobia, so I just...

But I'll do my best.

Oh, my name is Marimo. Kaburagi Marimo.

Nice to meet you!

Will this work?

There are ways to deal with it, and Director Kaidou asked us to take her.

Ma'am!

What?

A request for support!

There's an unknown Willwear user at an intersection near Takagi-cho, Shibuya!

Shibuya Station

They're ignoring orders to stop!

At this rate, maybe I'll be able to clear it.

I hope Inagi-kun's worries are misplaced.

What?

There's apparently a chance of indiscriminate terrorist attacks in the city.

He was talking to foreign countries in preparation for the summit,

and one of them shared that with him.

What's the agenda?

We don't know.

Is it another issue with

increased migration and the accompanying discrimination and poverty?

It's a pain that they can't keep it within their own countries.

Requesting

Connection Approved

Hey, Kaburagi, keep your eyes on the monitor.

Uh, um...

Marimo-chan, feel free to put on the data glasses.

Okay!

I'm fine now.

The glasses fix it?

I-I'm sorry. The problem is fixed.

Link the mobile assault command vehicle.

Linking.

Linking.

Tomorrow, between the hours of 9:00 and 14:00,

equip this and flee from the police.

Escape, and I'll give you ten million yen.

What are you talking about?

This is a game played worldwide by celebrities.

The whole thing will be broadcast by a series of fixed and security cameras.

Viewers enjoy themselves by

placing massive bets on whether you can escape or not.

And if I can't?

I haven't worn a Willwear since training class in school.

Then you'll still get three million yen.

And we'll use our connections to have you released.

That's way too good to be true.

It's up to you whether you believe it or not.

At this point, I'm going for the ten million.

Shibuya Station

Is the suspect's Willwear planning to go toward Yoyogi?

It was heading to Daikanyama.

What do you think their goal is?

Haruka-chan, get ready.

We'll launch from Komaba.

Okay!

Huh? Now it's heading to Harajuku.
