Title: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: gamogamo on August 09, 2010, 11:15:16 am
Who do you think the 2nd generation GetBackers are? I haven't read any solid evidence of who they are. If anyone does though, please point me in the direction of said evidence.

This is something that is dealt with in recent releases -- fairly clearly, if I remember correctly -- so I won't mention it here, as it would be a spoiler for those who aren't quite up on their reading yet.  You'll be able to read all about it as soon as you get your 15 posts and can access the Releases section!   :D

Awesome! 2nd generation, it's worth trying to figure this out! ;D

When I replied to this earlier, I was thinking that the Second Gen was someone else -- now that I have done some research, I have discovered otherwise.

This still may constitute a spoiler, though it has been revealed in previous manga volumes -- but I'm still going to mark it as a spoiler (and practice the new method while I'm at it), since some may not have read that far yet.  ;)  If you want to risk being spoiled, or want to know what I discovered no matter what, then click on the spoiler!

[spoiler]I have discovered we don't really know who the second generation is.  They are only presented in shadow -- a trio of people who gave to Ban and Ginji their Subaru 360 and the "last puzzle piece" analogy.

I found this info at a Getbacker info site:

Quote
Second Gen

As their title suggests, they are the second generation of the Get Backers. Upon Paul's return to Ura Shinjuku, he handed over the name of the Get Backers to 3 youths. Little of them is actually seen in the manga but their influence on Ban and Ginji can be seen in many ways.

- Ban's "Urchin Head" hairstyle is based on one of them. (In the "Early Days" arcs, his hairstyle is that of his childhood days, and bears a resemblance to his father's.)

- The duo's Subaru is also inherited from them (along with the parking fines).

- In the manga, a young Natsumi was prompted by them to go to the Honky Tonk to look for Ban and Ginji.

- Ginji learned his "jigsaw" analogy of their job scope from them as well.

The "jigsaw" analogy is as follows (taken from the second gen's speech upon handing over to Ban and Ginji): "If you accept a job, you must then follow it to the very end, for before you put in the last piece of the jigsaw, you wouldn't know what the true picture will look like."

Given their speech, they may know some of Infinity Fortress's secrets, but what Paul had told them is as of now unknown.
[/spoiler]

Hope this helps -- I'm not sure which manga chapter they appear in, but I remember seeing it now, so what we know of them so far has been revealed.  And that may be all we ever know -- unless there are more revelations to come in untranslated chapters!

Hi! Im new here, I wonder if the 2nd generation is cool... My opinion, the first generation are still alive and they are not far from the third generation. I mean if they were strong how come we have the third generation already. Tnx!

2nd generation? wow, i must have left out a lot


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: BR Der Kaiser on September 07, 2010, 06:38:42 pm
How come we are closer to know the whole truth about the first generation and not the second?
Why the hell the sec. g. is a trio? Where did Paul find them? How did they met Ban and Ginji?
A lot of questions but no answers. Another mistery.

I too am left wondering...

Of course I think I can just read the spoilers that Lin wrote... it's tempting but I really don't want to ruin the good stuff!  :)

i think they were a trio because they weren't so powerful

if the autor has made them a duo they should be as poweful as Der Kaiser and Paul, or Ginji and Ban,

as a trio they could be less powerful, i don't know, maybe the autor didn't want to full the story with a lot of superstrong characters


when i've finished reading the manga i hope i'll have the answer :P

That spoiler I wrote doesn't actually need to be a spoiler -- I was just playing it safe in case there were people looking here who hadn't read the earlier parts of the manga.

I believe what we know about the 2nd Generation has been revealed already, and that's what I've included under the spoiler tag.  I'm not sure there is any more -- but I could be wrong!

i don't think it ever gets revealed, since they failed their goal hence are unimportant


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: george20 on November 19, 2010, 07:51:27 pm
I think that teshimine takeru is part of the 2nd generation

Post by: hairysl on November 22, 2010, 09:00:35 am
I think that teshimine takeru is part of the 2nd generation

Actually I quite agree since he doesn't seem to fit in any other groups (e.g. 1st gen, Voodoo King's minions, past Volts etc.). And he fights alongside paul against those in babylon city by giving him the virus

Post by: banmido on November 24, 2010, 10:07:56 am
Nope Teshimine is not 2nd gen guys it doesn't amke sense... Teshimine is an independent!from what we've seen so far!!!
I think he Left Ginji after Thunder Emperor happened to learn the truth. Coz once Ginji went Lightening Lord did he need any more babysitting. Aoll Takeru seems to want it to make up for the time he had to leave Ginji behing, to take them all ahead; to the top

Hm.. That man looked more like the one the Drug queen wanted to find. The first job of Ban and Ginji.

Its quite sad the getbackers is coming close to the end , I would like to know more about the 2nd geenration and what they did. Did they suceed in doing anything important or did they just exist to gather Ban and Gingi


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: wearenotone on January 27, 2011, 10:32:37 pm
the later parts of the manga deal with it, but they take less place than the first gen lol


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: kougananqi on February 03, 2011, 07:01:03 am
i think there is something behind a 3 man's group isn't it? because the first and third gen do all the jobs with just two people
i dont know what's the last chapter anyway, i've been reading up to vol 35 the first chapter, so i guess that i have to wait for more:D

Post by: ris2099 on May 20, 2011, 11:31:58 pm
I don't think there's enough info to point out who are the 2nd gen GBs. I think the author left it at that... But it might have been cool if they have their own arc/back story or something...


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: V.H. on May 21, 2011, 11:47:47 pm
I didn't find anything about the 2nd gen even in the GB wikia!? :o

I've been hoping they appear, there are still a few questions that havent been answered yet.

Post by: ginjiisawesome on July 10, 2011, 11:33:56 am
I really hope the second generation is explored more thoroughly, the first and third are both really badass, so i'd think they'd be pretty awesome too.

Hi,

One of my guess (since I haven't read the whole manga yet) is Tekishima, and the one who drunk coffee on Paul Wan's coffee shop.. :) I dunnow... just a wild guess..hehe they seem to know Paul so well.. ^_^ and maybe the third member could be Akabane.. :))


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers
Post by: clandestined on September 19, 2011, 11:56:06 pm
Oh I was wondering too!! I thought it was Ban, Himiko's bro, Himiko cause they went around getting back(more like stealing?) stuff. But now I'm leaning more towards characters that haven't been revealed. But the getbackers plot is so heavy and mysterious...wonder what their powers are too ???


Title: Re: The 2nd Generation GetBackers

hmm, i don't think they appear in the manga up until now

Post by: ahmadmud on March 21, 2012, 02:59:16 pm
is it possible that Kudou Yamato is one of the 2nd Gen GB ?  ( he does have the "Urchin Head" hairstyle that inspired ban and he does look up to him...)

I just finished the last chapter and I am wondering about 2nd Gen since they weren't covered ?
