Human Vapor (ガス人間)

Mr. Governor!

- Good to see you. - Thank you. Go ahead, sir.

- Welcome back. - The governor's here?

- Mr. Governor! -

Congratulations!

You work so hard. Thank you all very much.

Thank you.

As you know, the most important speech is the one I'll give tomorrow.

Let's make it count!

The election is upon us. Two more days.

It's the final push.

Let's keep it up and put on a show!

- - Yeah!

Kaho, hey!

Hey! You okay? Are you hurt?

But just look over there. Look.

- - Go check inside!

I'm fine! Go check inside!

Right away!

- - You okay?

- -

We should get out of here. Come on, let's go.

Breaking news.

The Metropolitan Police Department is reporting

that the Human Vapor has attacked Governor Miura's campaign office in Tokyo.

Three have been reported dead in the attack,

with multiple others injured, some in critical condition.

Governor Miura was in the headquarters at the time and was injured in the attack…

Miura ordered the Human Vapor to attack us.

He's the reason my brother's dead.

I just don't…

Why would he do that?

I don't get it.

…five more dead…

He was ordering the Human Vapor's attacks.

So then, who put the hit out on him?

Wait. Fujita's camera is still…

We were trying to find out the Human Vapor's identity.

He set up a camera!

It would still be there, and it should still be working.

It might've caught the person who ordered the attack on Miura.

- -

- Is he okay? - What's going on?

I don't like this.

- -

What now?

Gimme a second.

Huh?

- Hey. - What do you want, huh?

- You fuckin' deaf? - Get outta here!

- - Where you goin'?

Hey. I asked you a question, brother!

- -

Through here.

The coast is clear.

He'll be back soon. We have to hurry.

Where'd Fujita put the camera?

This way, I think.

In about two hours' time, I need you for something.

There will be a number of volunteers at Takeshi Miura's campaign headquarters.

That's your target.

Kill three people there.

After that,

I need you to kill all the homeless people in front of the station.

Leave none of them alive.

And one more thing.

Don't kill me.

This guy is just the worst.

This station insists on reporting about Human Vapor,

all day, every day.

You are terrifying all the voters,

so now more and more of them are calling for Miura to be reelected.

An attack in downtown Tokyo,

and yet Miura's approval rating is just gonna keep going up.

What?

In the wake of an attack or a tragedy, we all hope for stability.

The governor only stands to benefit from this.

Wait, what are you saying?

People are afraid.

An unstoppable force kills again,

and no one knows what to do.

But if Miura stands strong and leads,

he'll be seen as a hero. He'll win by a landslide.

So you're saying in order to win the election,

he condemned his own staff to die?

Is that really surprising though?

We know he doesn't value life, don't we?

People are worthless to him.

We're nothing but human fuel.

Hey. Hey!

There's someone inside.

Hmm?

Let's go.

Wait, wait!

I have an idea.

You.

What do you think you're doing?

What was that? Get him!

Kaito, get me some chain.

Get him! He's just one guy!

- Hurry, Kaho. - Okay.

- -

What the hell did you do?

Is he dead? Oh shit.

The world will soon know my true power.

The world will soon know my true power.

- The world will soon know my true power. -

Hello?

Hey. Um, we've run into a complication.

What happened? Where are you?

The abandoned warehouse.

We think they taped the whole thing.

What? What thing?

You gave an order to the Vapor guy.

You did, right?

And while you were doing that, you were secretly being recorded.

- -

Where's the footage?

Don't know.

A detective called Okamoto was here with the video camera.

We caught him. He's with us.

I need to know where that recording went.

Ask him, but keep him alive.

Will do. We'll get the info. Leave it to us.

And don't do anything…

- -

You don't have to worry about that at least.

You've pulled ahead of Kirishima. Up 7%.

We've got this in the bag, sir.

Be that as it may, it's not over.

We'll cement our lead tomorrow any way we can.

You wanna talk yet?

Just tell us where the recording ended up.

- - Where did you put it?

You really need to start talking.

I promised I'd keep you alive,

but I've never been keen on promises.

- Where's the fun in that? -

- -

Just fuckin' tell us!

- - You listening?

- Where is the recording? - Hey!

Let's all just take a breath. You've gone too far.

Look what you did.

You're just like your father. The spitting image.

Huh? Down to your fat little baby cheeks.

- So what did you find out? - Nothing.

- Gimme that. - Huh?

- - What the hell?

Sada.

- Sada? -

Okamoto? Am I saying that right?

Great to meet you.

I'm Miura, governor of Tokyo.

I thought

you were with Mufu.

Such a pathetic organization.

Very well.

I wanna tell you a story I heard once in Romania.

Miguel was a lovely, carefree young man…

whose life's work was running a bee farm.

The hell are you talking about?

Every bee

has its own role in the colony.

The bees who defend the hive

and those who make honey.

But every single one…

works, lives, and gives its life to the queen bee.

The queen has a big task.
