- November 30, 2002
Rising opera star, Yutaka Shirogane, entrusts the Getbackers with the task of retrieving a prized possession: a bouquet of rare, phantom sunflowers. The sunflowers are said to be cursed, bringing misfortune to anyone who possesses them. However, Yutaka is determined to give the bouquet to his beloved, even if it means risking his own life.
Ban and Ginji, with the addition of new team member Shido, set out to retrieve the flowers from the wealthy and influential Marouka family, who currently holds possession of them. After infiltrating the Marouka mansion, the trio soon realizes that the job will not be as easy as they had hoped. They are met with fierce resistance from the family's array of supernatural guards, each with unique and deadly abilities.
As they navigate the treacherous mansion grounds, Ban discovers that something is amiss with the mission. He suspects that Yutaka may not have been entirely truthful about his reasons for wanting the sunflowers. Meanwhile, Ginji is drawn to a mysterious young girl who seems to have a connection to the cursed flowers.
The stakes continue to rise as the Getbackers face off against their toughest opponents yet and the true intentions behind the mission are revealed. Will they be able to retrieve the sunflowers and protect themselves from the curse, or will they fall victim to the deadly flowers themselves? The episode ends on a cliffhanger, setting the stage for part two of the thrilling two-part arc.
