Gatchaman Crowds Season 1 Episode 4
S01 E04 Kitsch
The Crowds are revealed to be strange beings controlled by the GALAX users, which help to stabilise the gondola until help arrives. Meanwhile, Joe fights against the strange alien, known as Berg Katze, but is beaten back when Katze uses a NOTE of their own. As Joe relays this to the others, Paiman and OD remain oddly quiet on the matter. Later, Hajime hears from Utsutsu about her power and how it keeps her from touching others. Meanwhile, it is shown Rui gained the Crowds ability from Berg drawing out his NOTE. The next day, Rui is shocked to witness Berg use another human's form to run down and kill several innocent citizens right in front of him.

03:46CLad in the cast of
03:49Back to the Future
03:59So, I take it you're not from around here
04:04sir
04:06I'm just a tourist here to see the sides
04:09Like watching the whole planet die for example
04:13Go!
04:20How sweet!
04:22Why, you've started the funeral pyre already!
04:28Burning Rage!
04:35Yeah, I was never worried or anything.
04:37I knew we'd be saved.
04:38Luckily, there was a bunch of Galaxters on board with us.
04:41They gave us some play-by-play updates.
04:43This has got to be good press for Galax, right?
04:46Even some of the guys on the rescue team were Galaxters.
04:49So many different people are on it.
04:52Mission complete.
04:53You did a really great job.
04:55Thanks to you, the world has been updated.
05:01Everyone was saved.
05:03There wasn't a single casualty.
05:05It's all thanks to you, Rui, and your quick decision-making.
05:08Rui, is something wrong?
05:11I wasn't the one who saved those people at all.
05:14It was the crowds.
05:16In the end, you stupid humans cannot blame yourselves!
05:19What the hell are you talking about?
05:21You poor little dry-mates, you!
05:23Learning.
05:25B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-burn!
05:27Go!
05:28What the?
05:30GALAXTERS!
05:43My, my, little Messi.
05:44You are too excited today!
05:46See? See? Isn't he the coolest?
05:49You really like changing shapes, don't you, Messi-poo?
05:52Hmm. Something seems a little off about him today, though, huh?
05:55Come on, Itsutsu.
05:56Why don't you try playing with Messi, too?
05:58It's all an illusion.
06:00Oh, this free time!
06:02I really gotta do something with my life!
06:04I can't believe we spent all those days fighting each other,
06:07and here we're playing charades with Messi!
06:09Well, look what the cat dragged in.
06:12But what's with that scary face?
06:17Another weird alien?
06:18Yeah. My powers were useless.
06:21Didn't even scratch him.
06:22He took on the form of a random pedestrian and went on a stabbing spree.
06:26Hold on a second.
06:29Was it the same guy?
06:31Wouldn't surprise me.
06:33He told me the whole planet would die.
06:35That it would burn crimson, and we can only blame ourselves.
06:43That's it.
06:45But what does it all mean?
06:47He was strong and ruthless.
06:49You actually battled him, Joe?
06:51Yeah. But he got away.
06:54Don't worry. I'll finish him off next time.
06:58There's something still bugging me, though.
07:01Remember what JJ said a while back?
07:03A bird with damaged wings has lost its way.
07:06Yeah. I remember, but I didn't give it much thought.
07:09The alien also had a note.
07:12You mean just like ours?
07:14That's right.
07:16You don't think it means he's a gacha man like us?
07:19No idea.
07:21Besides us, are there any other gacha man out there?
07:24Odie, Paimon, you know something, don't you?
07:28He was super tall, wild, magenta-colored hair,
07:31had this diamond-linked tail and sharp teeth.
07:34Who the hell was he?
07:37Hey guys, what's wrong? You're never this quiet.
07:43The crazed bird shall show itself once more.
07:46With a piece of steel, he will make the innocents scatter.
07:51This guy is off-limits, got it?
07:53We can't just sit around here. That thing's on a killing spree.
07:56But we can't say for sure that alien was behind those murders.
08:00But say that he was... as gacha man, it's our duty to handle it.
08:04I don't care who did it. Just stay out of it.
08:06That's a direct order from your leader.
08:08Especially you, newbie. Don't even think about trying anything.
08:12Sugene, Utsutsu, you're in charge of babysitting her.
08:20Case closed. End of discussion.
08:22Don't tell me you're scared too. Pretty pathetic for our leader.
08:27Look, he's still out there. We should at least split up and keep tabs on him.
08:31Seriously, don't guys.
08:33Hajime, sweetie, just listen to Pai-Pai this time.
08:41Ruki.
08:42Hajime, yo!
08:43What's on your mind?
08:45Well, I'm obviously trying to think of a plan so we can deal with this super bad guy.
08:49We can't just leave him loose out there.
08:51So, like, if that Mimi gacha man says people are dying because it's all our fault,
08:55then don't that mean something super bad and evil is going on?
08:58Yo!
08:59If he's just roaming around out there...
09:00Listen, Missy, just relax.
09:02I'll clip that crazy bird's wings if it's the last thing I do.
09:06No, man! That's not what I'm talking about at all!
09:11This can't be happening.
09:15Gacha.
09:18Gacha.
09:22Don't let it bother you, Pai-Pai.
09:24Sometimes you just gotta be stern with him.
09:26I know it's hard, but at least I know where you're coming from, boss.
09:31Oh, man! We're totally screwed!
09:34If he's really here, then this planet doesn't stand a chance!
09:38Just relax, Pai-Pai.
09:40How can I relax at a time like this?
09:42You know who we're talking about!
09:44Every single planet that wretched demon has landed on was completely obliterated!
09:48What he does is even worse than killing.
09:50In the end, he hardly lifts a finger and has people killing each other!
09:53Once he worms his way into people's minds, the planet's as good as doomed!
09:57There's not a thing we can do!
09:58I regret never finishing him back there.
10:01Don't do anything crazy, OD.
10:03If you spread your wings, we both know what'll happen, right?
10:06Yes, I know.
10:08I could bring everything crashing down.
10:10I understand this too well.
10:12That bastard took my closest friend away from me.
10:16I don't ever want to go through that again.
10:20Why is he here?
10:21Why would he come to the one planet we're protecting?
10:24He probably found something.
10:26What do you mean?
10:27The key to unlock whatever will make the Earthlings destroy each other.
10:31He said that it would burn Crimson.
10:33I imagine that's some sort of hint.
10:35And from here on out, he's going to gradually guide this planet toward its own destruction.
10:40This sort of thing fills Bergkaze's heart with glee like none other.
10:51I'm going through with it, Tsugune.
10:54Next time I see that freak, I'm going to make him wish he was never born.
10:58Sounds great. I'll accompany you.
11:01The fact that I can be a gotcha man at all is all thanks to you, Joe.
11:05Don't you get sick of saying that?
11:08Oh, by the way, want a drink?
11:11Not really. Besides, I'm underage.
11:14Yeah, that's true.
11:16Well, I still want one.
11:18You see, you never know how much longer life will let you enjoy your booze.
11:22See you around.
11:25I wonder why it's our fault someone's going around slashing people.
11:28Something just doesn't seem right about that.
11:30And both Pie Pie and Dee weren't their normal selves today.
11:33Hmm, strange, strange. I've never seen Dee act so serious before.
11:37What could the deal be?
11:39Oh, this neighborhood's crazy!
11:41There's a police station!
11:43Oh, this neighborhood's crazy!
11:45There's a police department!
11:47And the JSDF's base is across the street!
11:50The riot police are over there, and the fire department's over there, and there's the city hall.
11:54Even if something did happen, I bet Tachikawa would be fine.
11:57Don't you think, Utsutsu?
12:00Utsutsu, are you always this quiet?
12:02It's like, even though you're here with me, your mind's far, far away.
12:07That's how...
12:08Huh? What? What'd you say?
12:10Oh, oh, sorry.
12:12That's how my body works.
12:14Huh? What do you mean by that?
12:16This body is a clone.
12:19Whoa, you can make clones of yourself?
12:21I can make multiple copies at once.
12:24You're like a ninja! Could you teach me to do that?
12:27You can't. Only I can because my body is all messed up.
12:31Wow, that is so cool!
12:34It's not cool.
12:35I see. You don't like it, huh?
12:38No. I can't let myself touch anyone.
12:41I might hurt them if I do.
12:43Because of the way I was born, even when I'm having fun,
12:47I'll suddenly want to start crying or wish I could just disappear forever.
12:51Or get the urge to hurt somebody?
12:55I'm scary, aren't I?
12:58Hey! Utsutsu!
13:00What does this streetlight remind you of?
13:04It reminds me of a streetlight.
13:06If you ask me, I think it looks happy and fat like a balloon!
13:11Utsutsu, you're fine just the way you are.
13:15That's how I feel anyway.
13:17After all, you're super duper fun and cute!
13:20No matter what happens, I'll always be your buddy!
13:23I'll never decide to bail out on you, I promise!
13:26So everything will be just fine!
13:28Liar.
13:31One of these days, I hope that I can finally talk to the real Utsutsu!
13:37What's wrong?
13:38My head really hurts.
13:40Was it Hajime? She does that.
13:43I just... I hate making copies of myself.
13:46I understand. But it's the same for all of us.
13:50Having special powers is both something to be happy and sad about.
13:56My dear Rui Ninomiya.
13:58How's it feel?
13:59You've just obtained the amazing power to materialize.
14:03You've just obtained the amazing power to materialize people's souls!
14:12Is that... thing my soul?
14:15Yep! And isn't it lovely?
14:17With this new power, you can make all your dreams become a reality!
14:21All my dreams?
14:28Good morning, Rui Rui.
14:30Why, you've worked up quite the sweat, haven't you?
14:32Were you having a bad dream?
14:34You're trembling like a little kitten.
14:38No, I'm fine.
14:39I saw what you did there.
14:41It looks like you put the powers that I gave you to good use yesterday, didn't ya?
14:46I did.
14:47I betcha that everyone's gonna be totally flipping out about how great it was now.
14:52Think you'll be able to update the world?
14:55Perhaps so.
14:56You have my gratitude, alien.
14:58Why, you're very welcome, Mr. Pivot of Lifeform.
15:00Let's just say you owe me one, okay?
15:02Though I can't help but wonder about what everyone would think if they knew that Galax...
15:06Their new star of hope!
15:07...was somehow tied to a real flesh-and-blood alien, let alone little ol' me.
15:12Biometrics authentication.
15:20Good morning, X.
15:24Good evening, Rui.
15:25All of the suspects are still denying that they had any part in the incidents.
15:30None of them remember killing anyone.
15:32However, each claims that something took control over their body.
15:37What's up, Rui Rui? Huh?
15:39Nothing.
15:40People across the internet have been crying out to Galax to assist in preventing further deaths from happening.
15:46This is too much for Galax, though! Right, Rui Rui?
15:50Do you wanna know who the real culprit is?
15:52Well, you see, it's your heart.
15:55My heart?
15:56That's right! Because you humans have such ugly little tickers pumping out so much hate.
16:01And when all that ugly hate overflows and pours out, it turns into violence.
16:05That's why these murders will never come to an end, no matter what I do.
16:09Nasty stuff, huh? Scary, huh? And fun, don't you think?
16:13Let's start a revolution together, shall we?
16:16Well, you just sit on that. In the meantime, I'm gonna run out and get some exercise.
16:20Adios, amigo!
16:23Unfortunately, I'm still unable to find any information on that alien.
16:28As for the Gatchaman, the surveillance cameras haven't picked up any.
16:32Forget it. They probably aren't real anyway.
16:35I don't need heroes to help me. I'll destroy him myself.
16:39You said that you were striving for a revolution without bloodshed. Is that no longer true?
16:44It is. But I can't let that monster run wild any longer.
16:48X, you know why I created the Hundred, don't you? Why I'm doing this?
16:53It's so that I can update the world with everyone's help.
16:57You, me, and the Hundred. We have the power to change this planet.
17:01We have the power to make it move forward.
17:08Hey, Hajime! You actually do work here.
17:10Oh, Hinata! Kaede!
17:12How about that ropeway rescue yesterday?
17:15Was that some incredible stuff or what?
17:17You can stop talking about GALAX now.
17:20Yep! That was 100% certified awesome for sure!
17:23Uh-huh! All right, if GALAX is so amazing, why don't we let them run the police?
17:27Or the whole government, for that matter.
17:29Whoa! That's crazy talk!
17:31But why not? I mean, they got there before everyone else did.
17:34They've got it together.
17:35Maybe so, but that won't work.
17:37Oh? Why not?
17:39Cause it'd be sad if that's all we had to rely on.
17:42Oh, yeah! I guess I could ask him!
17:45Hajime!
17:47Hey, Fireman Man!
17:49Hmm? Fireman Man?
17:51This is Kuwabara, chief of the Tachikawa Fire Department.
17:55Huh?
17:56You'd save me if I was on fire, right, Fireman Man?
17:59Me?
18:00Even if the whole world was on fire, you'd come running to save me, wouldn't you?
18:04Uh, yeah! You bet!
18:08See?
18:12You know what? I am just done.
18:14You can stay there and cry forever.
18:31No, he can't!
18:34Huh?
18:40No, stop it!
18:43There was an accident near Toyosu Station. Commence rescue procedures now!
18:47As you wish.
18:52Someone help me!
18:57Eight Galaxters in the area have agreed to participate in the rescue procedure.
19:04Can you hear me? Please hang in there!
19:11Why? What does he want?
19:17Look out!
19:20There she is!
19:22It wasn't me! I don't know anything about this!
19:24Got it!
19:25Amnesia effect, go!
19:28O-M-G! L-O-L! R-O-M-L!
19:31Are you gonna cry about it?
19:33Sucks to be you, huh?
19:35You gave it your best, but you're just not cut out to be a hero, are ya?
19:40But it's finally getting started, Rui Rui.
19:42It's a festival! A festival! A festival!
19:49Rui, I regret to inform you that there were a total of 17 victims.
19:54It's all my fault! Dammit!
19:57Why did I take that monster's power?
19:59All I cared about was my dream!
20:01I should have known better, but I let this happen!
20:04Why?!
20:07Seems like you're in a good mood today, Joe.
20:09Something awesome happen or what?
20:11Nah, same old, same old.
20:13I hate to jinx it, but it's like having the old Joe back.
20:16You're nuts. You know I haven't changed a bit since you met me, Alan.
20:20The housewife was taken into custody as a suspect, but she denies the allegations,
20:25claiming that she, quote, did not remember the incident or even getting in a car.
20:29However, there are eyewitness reports saying that just before the incident,
20:32she seemed frustrated and was bullying her child.
20:34It's him.
20:35Everyone's lives are too stressful these days. That's how this stuff happens.
20:39Some people are saying it's because everyone relies on GALAX too much,
20:43which is ironic, because GALAX users tend to help with disasters.
20:46Well, if they start causing problems, at least we'll keep our jobs.
20:50Don't hold it against them. The enemy's too strong.
20:53What enemy? What are you talking about, Joe?
20:56Oh, sorry. I was just lamenting how powerless public employees like us are at times like these.
21:02Sure is a scary day and age we live in.
21:09What? You're leaving already, Joe?
21:11What's wrong, Joe? Are you serious?
21:13Cuba was a game of darts, remember? Don't run away.
21:17Me, run away? Couldn't be further from the truth.
21:20I just have some business to attend to, that's all.
21:22Hold on, Joe! Get back here!
21:29You want someone to stand up for justice, you got it.
21:32Your hero is right here.
21:52What is the truth and what is the lie?
21:56This world is being manipulated.
22:01My notebook is filled with feelings I can't tell you.
22:09My innocent heart repeats itself.
22:12Because the voice that calls out to me calls out to me.
22:16Everyone is a lonely creature when they're alone.
22:21I want to be connected to you.
22:24A wish to protect you, who is precious to me,
22:29will now turn into strength.
22:32Even if time and space are far apart,
22:37even if we're connected by hand in hand,
22:40we know that our feelings for each other
22:45can change even fate.
