In the bustling city of Shinjuku, an underground organization called the Get Backers is renowned for their ability to retrieve any lost or stolen item, no matter how difficult or dangerous the task may be. Their reputation precedes them, making them the go-to team for clients unable to rely on traditional methods.

Episode one, "The Initials are G & B," introduces us to the two main protagonists of the series – Ginji Amano, the Lightning Emperor, and Ban Mido, the Man with the Evil Eye. Ginji, with his electric powers, and Ban, with his uncanny ability to bend the perceptions of others, form an unlikely duo, each harboring their own reasons for joining forces.

The episode opens with Ginji and Ban meeting their prospective client, Yamato Kisaragi, who seeks their help in recovering a valuable item that was stolen from him. Having heard of the Get Backers' legendary status, Yamato hopes that they can retrieve his belonging despite a tight deadline.

As the duo accepts the case, we get a glimpse into their personalities and abilities. Ginji, with his cheerful and carefree demeanor, possesses incredible electricity manipulation powers that grant him superhuman strength. Ban, on the other hand, exudes an air of aloofness and sarcasm, often seen smoking a cigarette and flaunting his presence.

The Get Backers quickly dive into their investigation, starting with a visit to the first person who Yamato suspects might be familiar with the stolen item. Through their street-smart and relentless pursuit, Ginji and Ban gather information that leads them to a dance club called Babylon City, infamous for attracting an array of Tokyo's underworld characters.

Inside the club, they stumble upon a beautiful woman named Hevn, who happens to know about the stolen item. She agrees to help the Get Backers, but only if they complete a mission for her first – retrieve a briefcase from a wealthy and influential businessman.

With their reputation on the line and eager to get closer to Yamato's stolen belonging, Ginji and Ban devise a plan to infiltrate the businessman's mansion. Utilizing Ban's "Evil Eye," they deceive the mansion's security personnel with illusions, deeming themselves invisibility. Their quick thinking and coordinated teamwork allow them to make their way past the guards undetected and reach the coveted briefcase.

However, nothing is as simple as it seems. Unbeknownst to Ginji and Ban, their mission was a test set up by Hevn to evaluate their skills. Proving their worth, they pass her test, and as a reward, Hevn provides them with crucial information about Yamato's stolen item, leading to a new location where it might be hidden.

Motivated by the promise of finding the stolen belonging, Ginji and Ban make their way to the designated area. Upon arrival, they encounter Akutsu, a formidable foe capable of manipulating gravity. The episode concludes with an intense battle between the Get Backers and Akutsu, showcasing their resourcefulness and determination to overcome any obstacle.

"The Initials are G & B" sets the stage for the thrilling adventures that await Ginji and Ban as they embark on their path as the Get Backers. Their unique powers, complemented by their wit and sharp instincts, make for an intriguing combination as they navigate through Shinjuku's underground, all in the pursuit of retrieving that which has been lost.
