Gadou: Incredible! I can't believe you have managed to reach this place without any combat training. It seems you have inherited a lot of your father's natural and unnatural abilities. / Yūgo: Gadou?! Why are you here? / Gadou: Like you, Yūgo. I am searching for Yūji Ōgami, your father and my best friend. I'm sure our answer lies behind this door! / Yūgo: What are they? / Gadou: They are Beast Soldiers. This is where they kept the soldiers who fought against the mind control experiments and the conversion process. The Tyron Corporation keeps this laboratory a secret from the world. / Yūgo: But, if this is where my father is being held.. Where is he?! / Gadou: I am sorry Yūgo.. I could not save him.. / Yūgo: Father.. I know you will never be able to rest while our enemies live.. I promise you from this day forth, with all the powers I have inherited from you, I vow to destroy them all. This battle will never end..
Gadou: Ha! The destruction of the Tyron building is almost complete. Only a few people are still trapped in the basement area. My mission is complete. Yūji, my friend, I have exacted revenge for you. I know you would not have agreed with my methods but this is my way. / Text: Following the arrest of Gadou who allegedly destroyed the Tyron Corporation building, police investigators at the scene uncovered the secret experimental lab Gadou claimed the company was using for illegal genetic experiments on humans. Police sources have now confirmed they have accumulated enough evidence against the Tyron Corporation to drop all charges against Gadou. / Gadou: Why do I feel so.. strange? Is it because I am no longer being hunted by my enemies? All my life I have known the thrill of the hunt. The lure of danger and excitement have been with me for as long as I can remember. Yūji, our enemies are gone, but I cannot live a quiet life, not after all the war and bloodshed I have seen and caused.. It is my true nature to fight! (later) And now I find myself back on the battlefield. The smell of blood and the dancing of flames is where I feel truly alive! Every organ, nerve and cell in my body cries out for the thrill of battle! Death follows me like a shadow. And even though my next battle could be my last, this is the life I was destined to lead. Yūji, the battlefield is our true home. When we meet in the heavens, we will have many tales to share and we shall laugh and celebrate together!
Bakuryū: Did you really think YOU could defeat ME?! How dare you challenge me! Your defeat was inevitable! My fighting skills are nearly perfect! I have thousands of fighting techniques at me disposal. I HAVE ASCENDED TO THE RANK OF THE 'ULTIMATE SOLDIER'! AAARGH!! WHA.. WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?! THE METAMORPHOSIS IS FAILING!! I don't understand! The conversion cells should be stabilized! THEY'VE USED ME! THEY LIED! I was just a guinea pig for the Tyron Corporation's scientists! It can't end this way! I do not want to die! H.. H.. Help.. / Scientist #A: Experiment B-0755 molecular destabilization has reached critical point. Nervous system and muscle tissue have completely decomposed. / Scientist #B: Hmm.. Interesting. Were the results from the simulation as we expected? / Scientist #A: Yes they were. Was that the last of the series B-0755 class type? / Scientist #B: Correct! This final round has proven conclusively we cannot continue using this model. We must concentrate our efforts on the latest prototype conversion process. / Scientist #A: Sigh! It's going to be a very busy year.
Uriko: Mother? / Mitsuko: Uriko! It is you! I finally have found you. Are you okay, Uriko? I love you so much. We will never be apart again. / Uriko: Mom.. / Mitsuko: Hush now, don't cry my child. Let's go home now. Everybody is waiting to see you. (later) Uriko.. Are you dressed yet? Uriko! Wake up or you'll be late for school!
Long: RELEASE ME FROM THIS CURSE! I have never asked for these powers and I do not need them! / Tiger Spirit: You do not need them? Are you sure of that, Long? By learning to control your abilities, you can achieve so much. I know and understand so much of your deep torment because I am you! / Long: STOP! I will not listen to you, EVER! / Tiger Spirit: That is your decision.. but understand me when I tell you that the powers bestowed upon you are what separates you from mere mortals. With the abilities you have, your destiny is still undecided. / Long: No, you are wrong. I have decided what my destiny will be! I, Jin Long, will seal myself away from the world as long as the blood of the beast courses through me. The world shall no longer have to live in fear of my existence.
Alice: Uhmm..? I'm so tired..? I want another five minutes of sleep.. OH NO! I overslept! I need to hurry or I will be late for school! / Uriko: What's taking you so long, sis? You're late. I'm meeting some friends and I need to leave now. / Alice: Wait for me, Uriko! Why didn't you wake me up?! See you later, Aunt Mitsuko. Don't be so mean, Uriko. Wait for me!
Greg: Oh yes! I can see it now! You will be the future star of our circus!! You are the only one that can save us from closure. / Yūgo: I wish you would shut up! I don't care about your stupid circus. / Greg: Trust me. My instincts are never wrong. You will be a HUGE star. / Yūgo: You have GOT to be kidding! / Greg: I know real talent when I see it! You have quick reflexes and swift motion. Besides, when you transform into your beast form, your physique and strength are awesome! Well, what do you say? I am 100% sure that you will be the most talented performer at my circus! / Yūgo: NO! And please stop asking me! If you want someone to play the role of a beast to star in your show, why don't you do it yourself. / Greg: .. / Yūgo: Why are you so quiet? Now what's the matter? / Greg: I think it's a great idea. / Yūgo: What?! YOU the star of the show? / Greg: Yes, I think it is a very good idea! / Yūgo: You are not serious.. are you?
Fox: Ugly beasts must be weeded out of this world! I can smell the beast power within you.. You are a beast.. Show me your true figure! I will enjoy killing you more if you try to fight back. What? You will not even try? You anger me! I will give you one last chance to fight! No? I am growing bored. You must die! / Old Lady: Uh.. Hans.. / Fox: How do you know my name?! / Old Lady: Forgive me, Hans. I was not a good mother.. / Fox: You are my mother?! It can't be! I.. I am.. I killed.. No.. Ha.. Ha.. Uwaha.. Ha, ha.. Hyaha, ha, ha, YAAAAHHHH!!
