Hamatora The Animation (Hamatora)

Lord...

...forgive me for the sin of staining these fangs and claws with blood.

I am the Beast.

Now, let us send a beacon of the revolution.

Make all of humanity become strong!

Here's a car key.

You can do whatever you want with it.

You have given me not only power,

but also money to hire mercenaries and a means of transport.

I can't thank you enough.

That's not good.

If you have wants and desires, gratitude is just a subversion.

You should never mention it again.

Besides, you don't need to thank me at all.

You have been quite useful for my purposes.

It can't be stopped now.

Hi, welcome.

This meat and potato stew is good.

Yoshida?

Why're you sporting a black flower on your chest?

So funny.

It can't be stopped.

It can't be stopped.

Oh, it's you.

Been a while.

You still alive?

You could've just died and no one would've cared.

What?!

He just jumped right in front of me!

I couldn't have avoided him!

It can no longer be stopped.

It can't be stopped.

It can't be stopped.

Now... Shall we dance?

File 10: March of the Weak

Okay, we're on a walk.

We're on a walk, so nothing to be worried about, okay?

Is there some point to this?

We're having a major crisis right now.

If you were roaming around, everyone would freak out.

But if you're a pet, everyone will relax.

Good idea, right?

As if that's how I'd react.

They're totally staring at us.

Isn't my pet cute?

He's not yours!

Told you.

He's still causing a racket.

This isn't because of us.

What's with him?

Takahiro?

I thought he was in prison.

Did he escape?

Um... hello.

Sorry I caused you trouble earlier.

Huh?

Isn't your voice kind of high-pitched?

Special Feature What Are Minimum Holders? Cutting Right to the Truth!

...a superhuman power called Minimum.

Those who possess the power are called Minimum Holders.

Shockingly, the government and the police have been aware of their existence,

but hid this fact from the public.

That is so scary.

It's hard to stomach.

Not to mention...

Facultas Academy

There's even a government agency to train Minimum Holders!

This Facultas Academy's registry has been leaked online.

It's causing quite a splash.

The leaked registry is the real deal.

The registry lists everyone, including past graduates and even dropouts.

Of course, our names are on it.

It seems even the Minimum Agency is stumped.

Given how fast the leaked info spread,

a coverup would just backfire.

I'm sorry to come bother you when you're in so much trouble.

Don't be. You're the one in a lot more trouble.

Why don't you take a seat?

The floor must be cold.

Please don't mind me!

The floor's more than good enough for me.

You're way too humble!

Your attitude's way different from your looks.

Sorry!

Here you go.

Oh, can I have milk and sugar?

You have a sweet tooth?!

I'm really sorry about before.

I was in such a bind back then.

You still are, to be honest.

I heard you were out of control and wreaking havoc at the time.

I was really out of my mind back then.

This is so weird.

We're all like, "How nice, you're all back to yourself now."

My mind cleared up about a week after I got caught.

My voice returned to normal.

And now, I'm pretty much the way I was before.

Minimum Detention Facility

Who the hell are you guys?!

Hey, you guys get out!

Rejoice.

You're all free.

They released all the imprisoned Minimum Holders?

That's why I was able to get out, but...

So the black cosmos guys...

They were on the news yesterday.

They're wearing black and making trouble everywhere.

They were called non-innate Minimum Holders.

Um... who is she?

Don't mind her!

She's just a bit curious.

More than just a bit.

So? What're you here for?

A thank-you tour?

A revenge match?

Oh, maybe you'll buy me dinner to say sorry?

I heard Nice-san and Murasaki-san are private investigators called "Hamatora."

Sorry, we're not recruiting mascots.

Even if we were, no thanks.

Our clients would run away.

I have something I'd like Hamatora to look for.

You're looking for something?

Yes.

I want to find out how to get my body back.

Of course you do.

Wanting to go back is only normal.

Yes. I'm still in junior high,

but I can't watch movies on a student ticket while looking like this.

That's what you care about?

I want to have girlfriends and go on dates, too.

I'd like to go to amusement parks, karaoke, and movies together.

If we're going to movies, I want to pay the student ticket price.

Yeah, I'd like that, too. But that's what you care about?

I got my mind and my voice back!

I should be able to get my body back, too.

So... please!

Please find out how I can get my body back.

Sorry, but I pass.

Well, good luck on your own.

Hey, Nice!

Why can't you rent it to us?!

Are you willing to abandon these poor children without a home?!

There's a list going around, you see.

A list?

Yes.

No Lease Agreements with Gang Members

No Lease Agreements with non-Japanese Speakers

No Lease Agreements with Minimum Holders

Hey, can we take another one?

C'mon, let's go.

Aww!

Hey, what're you doing without any camouflage?

Where's the disguise I gave you earlier?

I don't have any right to use that.

Because of me, I'm causing trouble to so many Minimum Holders.

Hello.

Er, hello.

Freaks should leave!!

We're against Minimum Holders!!

People had had kept their abilities hidden,

and were trying to lead quiet lives.

I feel bad for them.

The least I can do is to stand out and absorb the negative attention directed at us.

Your face may look like a beast, but you're a bird-brain.

Do you want me repeat what I already told you?

That's right. Sorry.

Minimum Holders!

Until now, they have been given an unfair advantage in society.

Expel All Minimums

They have been living with no concern for those without their abilities.

They look down on us.

It's now time for those Minimum Holders to face social retribution!

Hey, Nice!

What?

You're not going to take on Takahiro's request?

My sincere hope is for a future where children can live without fear!

The black garb guys...

The non-innate Minimum Holders started running wild

How can we entrust our children to a world

right around the same time Three was shown on air.

where only those with Minimums get special treatment?

This was probably all part of Moral's plan.

I cannot!

Answer the question!

How can I let my children go forth into such an unjust world?

I'm not interested.

Isn't that reason enough?

You know why he wants his body back, right?

How can I let them face the harsh reality of knowing they'll come up short?

He got the power because he wanted it.

We have a duty to protect our children.

And now, he doesn't want it?

I don't get it.

That is why we cannot allow the existence of something as unfair as Minimums!

I'm going to help him.

That's all I came here to say.

Fine.

What should I do?

C'mon, it's just a bite.

I mean, you've become rounder around the edges lately...
