GetBackers (ゲットバッカーズ -奪還屋-)

Let's gather up the tears and give them back to the night sky

Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust

On nights when I've stopped knowing whether or not I'm alive

I get swallowed up by the starless night sky

"Don't disappear, light!" my uncertain heart cries out

I just want to see you!

Sprinting with all my might through illusions, delusions, daydreams

A miracle wakes all throughout my body

Don't forget, you're not alone

We're always just a dreamer

Take love, get all love, get back love in our hands

Scatter only love that never wavers, stardust

What kind of tomorrow shall I dream about tonight?

Mobile Office Hurry We're right over there! Open 24 Hours **If we're asleep, wake us up!

GB Recovery Service Persons with business, THIS is the office. talk to us!

Oh, no, I shouldn't have gone movie hopping!

I wonder if Dad is angry?

I'm sorry.

I'll take a shortcut!

That startled me!

How cute!

Hold on a second, kitty.

Stay just like that and don't move, all right?

I'm going to take a picture now... Okay!

Now to add it to my collection.

Who is it?! Who's there?!

Why is a policeman...

Ouch! Let me go!

What did you see just now?!

What did you take a picture of?!

Please don't assault me!

I... I was seen!

This is just what I heard, What's wrong, Natsumi? You seem kind of down.

but they say those people will get back anything for you. What's wrong, Natsumi? You seem kind of down.

but they say those people will get back anything for you. That's because... It looks like I've lost something important.

That something-or-other service is real, then? That's because... It looks like I've lost something important.

That's "recovery service." It's called Get Backers. That's because... It looks like I've lost something important.

That's "recovery service." It's called Get Backers. Your student lD or something? Did you report it to the police?

Word is there's nothing they can't get back. Your student lD or something? Did you report it to the police?

Their success rate is supposed to be one hundred percent! Well, that's...

Their success rate is supposed to be one hundred percent!

Tell me.

What?

These people, where are they?

If it was taken, get it back!! Sale prices now! Recovery Service

If it was taken, get it back!! Sale prices now! Recovery Service Sheesh!

Sheesh!

I can't take my eyes off those guys for a second, can l?

Excuse me, will I be able to meet those people if I'm here?

One Honky Tonk specialty pizza, on the house.

Help yourself if you'd like to.

Thank you very much.

It looks delicious. I'll be glad to.

Sure.

Well, what kind of people are the recovery service people?

Hmm... Well, they're a strange pair.

It's two people who do it?

Yeah, two people who are a big pain.

They run up a tab and they hang flyers.

Their business doesn't seem to be bringing in much, does it?

That's the truth.

They sure don't seem to be on the money god's good side.

Yo!

Oh, pizza!

That's just like you, Master, you understand!

This is good!

Ban, that salami is mine!

Shut up, the fastest man wins. You drink water or something!

That's going too far!

Ban, that's MEAN!

Wait! Calm down, Gin!

Stop it! You damn electric eel!

You want to electrocute a guy over a slice of pizza?!

Hey, hey, you're in front of a client. You want to electrocute a guy over a slice of pizza?!

Hey, hey, you're in front of a client.

How about minding your manners a little?

Huh?

A client?!

Nice to meet you...

So you two are the recovery service people.

Yup, you bet!

If it was taken, get it back.

The recovery service with a near hundred percent success rate,

the Get Backers.

I'm Ban Midou. This guy is...

Ginji Amano, nice to meet you.

My name is Natsumi Mizuki.

Natsumi? What a cute name.

I came because I heard that you two will get back anything for someone.

That's right.

There's nothing we can't get back.

In that case, please get back my kitty.

Kitty?!

A cat mascot doll?

Yes, the only thing I can think is that I must've dropped it then.

I'm sure that policeman took it with him.

But why would a policeman be with yakuza members?

Probably selling information on an investigation or something.

It happens all the time.

Something like a doll's probably been thrown out already.

Ban, you don't have to put it that way!

Anyway, an assignment like this we'll pass on.

In the first place, we're expensive.

So much so that you could buy dozens of new dolls with the money.

If it's about the money, no matter how expensive it is I'll manage something.

When I think that policeman might have taken it,

I'm so afraid I can't even go to the lost and found.

Please!

Why?

Another one won't do.

That doll is the only one like it in this world.

My mother made it for me. It's the only one.

Natsumi

My mother died the spring I entered high school.

So it's something from that last, precious memory.

Natsumi...

It's okay! Leave it to us. We'll find it for sure, and...

But we'll need money.

Ban!

Advance payment. Come back again after you get the money ready.

You guys have already gotten something in place of an advance.

That pizza, that was something I gave to her.

Wolfed it right down, didn't you?

She was waiting for half a day, you know.

A job like this would be child's play for you two.

True. In this town, there isn't a single thing we don't know.

A recovery service gets back the assignment no matter what it is,

wasn't that what you said?

I get it, I get it!

Guess I've got no choice!

That's my Ban! Okay, then...

Get Backers Recovery Service!

This assignment...

Has been taken on for sure.

Thank you so much.

You too, Mr. Ban...

Thank you for doing this for me.

Yeah.

If a cop is involved, it'll be a teeny bit troublesome.

Nonsense, with your intelligence network, Mr. Jack-of-All-Trades,

it should be a cinch.

I'm going to borrow the space upstairs for awhile.

Shinjuku Station

Shinjuku Station I'll email you the progress reports, all right?

Shinjuku Station Take care getting home.

Shinjuku Station Okay!

Shinjuku Station

Because electromagnetic waves are strictly prohibited around a large number of precision instruments within, electric eel people KEEP OUT

Central Park

Is something the matter, Mr. Ginji?

If you keep making such a gloomy face,

it sets a bad example for the people down the totem pole.

You're the VOLTS leader, after all.

There's no need to worry. You have us.

And you're the emperor of this Limitless Fortress, Mr. Ginji.

You're an invincible being, right?

We're always with you.

Ban?

Were you remembering again?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

No reason to force yourself to forget.

That's a precious memory too.

I got our lead.

Want to go?

Yeah!

Someone saw this tape?!

Who is it?

Someone's got me under surveillance.

Looks like the cop did take that mascot.

On the surveillance camera's tapes, that idiotic face is crystal clear.

What do we do, Ban?

Obviously there's no way but to go to the police station and get it.

So this is what you meant? You're so smart!

Quit gabbing and start looking for him.

There! There he is!

Nothing to do but go in. Go, Ginji!

Okay!

That is... Window locks usually don't open from the outside, do they?

Next plan.

Thank you for your business! I'm here with the pizza you ordered!
