GetBackers

Sep 20, 2003

Ginji defeats Masaki, and then questions his actions. Kanou interrogates Ren, realizing than she is assisting in rescuing Makubex. Kanou, however, is stopped by Shido and Emishi. Masaki says to Ginji that he was sent by The Brain Trust to erase the existence of Makubex, noting that he is an illusion, but he was against it. Masaki goes with Ginji and Ban to the Archive, only to find out that Makubex himself is erasing his own existence. Ginji uses his lightning to destroy the Archive, creating a power outage in the Limitless Fortress. After the emergency power activates, Makubex is restored. It is revealed that all of the data of Makubex was transferred out of the Archive before Ginji restored him. Therefore, the residents of Lower Town will be free from the experiments of The Brain Trust. Teshimine returns, bringing gladness to Ginji. Back at the Honky Tonk cafe, Kaoru appears and removes the seal from Sakura's arm, rejuvenating her. Ren returns to Gen in the pharmacy. In the Honky Tonk cafe, Ban and Ginji continue on with their lives as a recovery service.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The anime covers only 12 of 39 manga volumes, ending with an original conclusion that frustrated fans waiting for the Divine Design and Beltline arcs to receive animated closure.

Cultural

GetBackers epitomizes early-2000s shounen anime's obsession with pretty-boy duos trading homoerotic tension while aggressively pursuing heterosexual subplots—see also: Saiyuki, Weiss Kreuz.
