Get Backers

Ginji and Ban take on a new case-rescue a toy kitten from a crooked policeman! The client is Natsumi Mizuki, and the kitten is her last remaining scrap of her mother.

Ban and Ginji are out on the streets trying to raise money to pay off their tab at the Honky Tonk when a sickly old homeless man takes pity on them and shares his food.

Ginji and Ban's new case involves recovering a box for their client. They agree on the condition that they are to receive 1/10th of the contents as payment.

While still trying to recover the box, Ginji is kidnapped. While captive, Ginji learns that Ban killed Himiko's older brother a couple of years ago.

This is the final showdown as the transport service shows up to fight for the box. Ginji wears himself out fight Dr. Jackal.

Madoka Otowa's violin has been stolen, and she asks the Get Backers to help her get it back before her concert the next day.

Ban and Shido fight it out, and we see Shido's animal transformations for the first time as he goes on to battle former co-worker Kurobe after Akutsu decides to change his plans and destroy the violin and Madoka.

All of Akutsu's men are vanquished but the violin is still missing. Shido has ordered Madoka's dog to bring it to him as an act of anger against Ban.

The Get Backers are approached by an art appraiser and asked to retrieve a stolen painting - a newly discovered Van Gogh.

Ban and Ginji begin working for Clayman, and return all the stolen paintings to Hachisu in front of his insurance company, destroying his reputation forever.

Hevn calls in Ban, Ginji, Himiko, Kazuki, Shido, and Akabane to do a big job in the Limitless Fortress, recovering something called ÒILÓ for a mysterious group of men.

The group has been split off into pairs after the incident with the poisoned smoke. Ban and Shido are attacked by a pair of assassins.

An imposter who studied the same martial art as Kazuki impersonates him and then attacks Himiko.

Himiko and Hevn escape from captivity. Kazuki is found alive and treated by a pair of pharmacists. Elsewhere, an old rival of Ban's named Takuma Fudou attacks Ban and Shido.

Fudou is extremely angry that Makubex sent Emishi in. However, Makubex has another plan for Ban and Shido. At this point Ban and Kazuki independently come to a realization.

Ginji is beginning to come unglued as Akabane starts to kill more people. Ginji's powers have begun to increase as he gets angrier. When Akabane and Ginji get too close to Makubex too soon, Juubei and Kagami go to fight them.

Fudou is angry at Makubex and says he will only wait 20 minutes for Makubex to get all the recovery team in place before going out to kill Ban without orders.

Emishi fights Shido in a battlefield that looks like the Grand Canyon. The organization behind the construction of the Limitless Fortress is revealed.

Kazuki and Juubei's battler is interspersed with scenes from their childhood friendship.

Akabane meets up with Makubex with the plutonium he has been hired to transport. Makubex convinces him to watch a fight between Himiko and Kagami before completing the job.

Ban and Fudou's showdown is once again cutshort when Ban senses that Ginji is in trouble.

Ginji is so far gone that Natsumi and Paul can see lightning hitting the Limitless Fortress from their cafe. He's destroyed the fake Teshimine, and now injures Sakura, whom he suspects of being a fake also.

Shido saves Ban from Fudou and tells him to go after Makubex. Meanwhile, Makubex has started up an intruder interception program which makes virtual armies go after Shido and the Akabane-Ginji team.

The recovery team tries in vain to reason with Makubex. When that doesn't work, Ginji fights him in a virtual space of Makubex's own making. Ban figures out one of the secrets of the Limitless Fortress and reveals it.
