Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume5 Chapter1 (section)

===Between the Lines 2===

The Overhunting prisoner transport train has issued a break alert and the actual jailbreak has been confirmed.

The jailbreak occurred within South District 7 Station.

A tip hotline for civilians is being set up to allow a swift resolution. Anti-Skill and Judgment are to understand their roles, cooperate with the civilian freelancers, and fulfill their duty.

The next section describes the new bounty system and provides tentative values for the escapees.

Directly capturing an escapee earns the full listed bounty and providing information crucial to their capture provides 1/10 of the listed bounty. Bounties will be paid from public funds and will be tax exempt. The bounties will be listed on the public website, but additional rewards may be considered depending on the situation.

The escapees are all from the few survivors of the harsh and unpredictable Operation Handcuffs. Their very survival is proof enough they are extremely dangerous and violent criminals. Be very careful when dealing with them.


Benizome Jellyfish

Bounty: 150 million yen

A freelance paparazzo and a top-level sniper. This journalist will cause moral hazards by firing on her photography target from long distance to inspire confusion and acquire a special scoop. She will not commit crimes herself, but she will manipulate crimes in progress to the point of doubling the damage.

She has developed a unique fighting style that combines photography tools like camera flashes and infrared lights with a sniper rifle. Attempt to engage her in a firefight based on your training and she will mess with your senses and use special targeting devices to counterattack.


Hanatsuyu Youen

Bounty: 300 million yen

Also known as the Carrier. She is an expert at spreading harmful substances and microbes using insects and small animals. When active, she did more than engage in direct combat or attacks. There are signs of other criminals hiring her to dispose of corpses and other evidence. (All of which was destroyed too thoroughly to prove anything in court).

Her twin sister Kaai the Decomposer went missing during Operation Handcuffs and has yet to be found. There is unconfirmed information suggesting she decomposed her own body and escaped into the sewers where she now lives within the sludge, but it is unknown if that is even technologically and biologically possible. The search is still underway.

Her primary weapon is her test tubes full of liquid.

They contain pheromones, nectar, and other substances used to control various lifeforms. Your location might look clean, but she can secure a seemingly endless fighting force from all the pests and vermin living in Academy City.


Rakuoka Houfu

Bounty: 80 million yen

Guilty of aggravated breach of trust and malfeasance for committing crimes while serving as an Anti-Skill officer. His involvement is also suspected in a murder and subsequent hiding of the body from before he joined Anti-Skill. (The body was fully destroyed, so this cannot be proven.)

Belonged to Anti-Skill Aggressor, a group within Anti-Skill whose combat training was increased to bring them closer to the mentality and skill level of the criminals. A digestive enzyme is used to artificially increase the size of his muscles, so his body itself functions as a powerful weapon. His muscular strength is estimated to be over 70 tons in weightlifting terms. He can tear off the side of an armored truck like it was made of clay.


That sums up the personal data on the escapees who have gone missing from the Overhunting after its collision with the Delivery Go Round.

Also, several inexplicable and unanalyzed phenomena have been detected near the crash site, including the cause of the crash. Reports and witness information on Operation Handcuffs suggest the involvement of the Kihara family, an artificial ghost, and an android. A lot about that incident remains unknown, information from those on the scene is extremely confusing, and many questions remain, including whether several of those involved are still alive. Thus, we cannot deny the possibility of this incident being the work of an outside accomplice or someone else entirely.

Carelessness will mean losing your life on the job. Throw out all preconceptions and respond to any threat that presents itself.

Operation Handcuffs has already ended. We cannot allow any further losses now.


This time, we will bring an end to Academy City’s nightmare.

Good luck out there.
