009 Re:Cyborg 2012

Global threat and disbanded 00 Cyborg era

The year is 2013, as skyscraper bombings around the world are tied to a mysterious force called His Voice. The 00 Cyborg team has long since disbanded, and 007 now works for the British SIS while 002 serves the NSA after a falling out with Joe. Intelligence agencies worldwide whisper that His Voice is orchestrating the attacks through operatives, linking the crises to a larger conspiracy.

NYC bar intel exchange

In New York City, 007 and 002 meet at a bar to swap information about His Voice and its network. Pyunma's fossil discovery—a bone resembling an angel's skeleton—suggests a possible link to the mystery. The scene underscores how global intelligence communities are converging on the same threat.

Joe Shimamura's cybernetic burden

Joe Shimamura lives as a high school student with memories blocked and reset every three years by Professor Gilmore. He constantly hears His Voice through his cybernetic brain, while falsely believing he has an unseen circle of family and friends. His girlfriend Tomoe feels oddly familiar to him, hinting at a deeper connection.

Memory override at Roppongi Hills

Joe is about to plant a bomb at the Roppongi Hills Tower when 005 and 003 intervene to reactivate his memories. Dr. Gilmore suspects the scheme is engineered by the United States' NSA to reassert global power. The event reveals a manipulative conspiracy that entwines personal fate with geopolitical stakes.

Dubai attack under His Voice control

In Dubai, a B-2 bomber controlled by His Voice launches missiles toward the city. 002 pursues while 009 uses his Acceleration mode to shoot them down. During the confrontation, 009 is knocked off the plane by 002, and the pilot detonates a nuclear bomb that obliterates Dubai. 009 escapes through speed but is left unconscious on a beach as the EMP disables communications.

Communications blackout and Joe's presumed death

The EMP from the Dubai explosion cuts all communications, leaving the team to believe Joe is dead. The world lurches into uncertainty as responders scramble to respond to a sudden collapse in information. The personal stakes rise as the remaining cyborgs confront a mission without their teammate.

Intercept and space disarmament plan

003 fires interceptors to stop the nuclear missiles and disables all but one. Joe asks 001 to teleport him into space to disarm the final missile, hoping to avert catastrophe. 001 agrees but warns that returning Joe to Earth from such distance would exhaust Ivan's power and make recovery impossible.

002 sacrifices to reach 009; crash to Earth

002 flies to aid 009 in space but his rockets burn out and his stabilizers are damaged, causing him to plummet back toward Earth. The failed rescue underscores the cost of their fractured alliance. The moment leaves both heroes teetering between survival and further mission failure.

Joe's prayer and the space detonation

Joe speaks to God, acknowledging humanity's folly yet expressing belief in their potential. He pleads for the Earth to be spared as the last missile detonates in space with him on top of it, and the light forms a cross. Francoise watches two falling stars and silently prays for both, signaling a sacrifice that transcends mortal bounds.

Venice-like safe house and reunions

Some time later, Joe wakes up in an apartment that resembles Venice and sees Francoise walking across a canal. She explains that this is her 'safe house', a zone created by His Voice. Jet, Great Britain, and Pyunma also materialize there as Dr. Gilmore explains this world is a construction born of His Voice.

Angel skeleton motif in the safe house

In the safe house, Joe and Fran discuss God, and the camera reveals that one angel skeleton sits in Fran's living room as a decoration. The skeleton connects back to Pyunma's fossil and the broader enigma surrounding His Voice. The scene hints at a mythic layer overlaying the science-fiction conflict.
