This is an FAQ I compiled years ago,
I hope this is helpful for DIEHARD Getbackers fans. Casual fans may/may not find it boring. This is the Anime version.. as you know Anime differs from the manga in some aspects. So the info here may or may not apply to Manga.
1# What exactly is Maze City(Infinity Fortress)? I can't understand what's going on there.Maze city is a very unique place. You won't find such a place in any Anime or Hollywood movies. You often hear Ban saying "It's a place where reality and virtual-reality collides". What that means is, unlike say in
The Matrix where someone has to get plugged through wires in order to get into the virtual world, in Maze city- as soon you enter it you get automatically plugged into the virtual reality system(built into the Babylon tower) though wireless means(Microwaves). What's happening in Maze city is what happened in one of the episode of
GITSSAC 2nd GIG where the Major while training some new recruits gets accidentally pulled into a Mysterious Virtual World without any wired connections(Episode 11: Grass Labyrinth; AFFECTION). But even then she was rendered immobile in the real world, unlike in Maze city where mobility is possible.
So what's happening in Maze city can be Real or Unreal or both.
Say for example let's consider a simple action- walking.
You could be really walking in Maze city but your mind can be made to think by the system that you are doing something else.
In the same way, you could be really sitting in the 2nd floor in Maze city, but if the virtual reality system(built into the Babylon tower) wants you to think that you're standing in a hallway all alone in the 3rd floor, then you're there.
Compare this to the Movie
The Matrix. The characters in
The Matrix cannot do any action in the real world when they get plugged in. They have just sit/lay on a chair.
I hope whoever reading this is not confused. Virtual Reality is explained in more detail in
FAQ number 8 below.
If you have any questions, even after reading the detailed explanation, then don't hesitate to ask.
2# Why did the creators of Getbackers Imagine such a complex, hard to understand place?I guess that's because the concept of a plain old Virtual Reality is old now. They wanted an innovative place to create a story around it.
Also, another reason behind this idea of someone having mobility in both reality & virtual-reality is, it opens up endless and new possibilities of creating plots & sub-plots. This inturn opens up endless and new possibilities of fighting sequences.
And unlike other Anime where random incoherent stuff(Deus ex machina) is prevalent(like for example in Neon genesis Evangelion or any other psychological & philosophical Anime), in here there is unpredictable yet
completely coherent plots and ending, which is truly amazing.
3# Did the Creators Imagine the "Evil Eye" too?No. Ban's Evil Eye wasn't something which was imagined by the Creators of Getbackers. Evil Eye has a long history in Europe.
In the Middle Ages witches were said to give anyone who crossed them the evil eye. Also they were thought to be able to bewitch their convicting judges with it, and this was why they were made to walk backwards toward the judges.http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/e/evil_eye.html As we all know, Ban's Grandmother is a witch.
4# Wow! I didn't know that Evil Eye has a history. So what else is real in Getbackers?Bombay BloodThe Bombay Blood Group mentioned in Episode 35 really exists. It is one of the rarest blood type in the world.

if you think only Ginji has the power to create thousands of volts then think againMan Generates 30,000 Volts
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — In a case of hot fashion, a man released so much static electricity from his jacket that he left burn marks in the carpet of a business.
Fire officials in Victoria state said Frank Clewer had built up at least 30,000 volts of static electricity in his jacket simply by walking around the city of Warrnambool, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
He received his first shock when he walked into a local business Thursday afternoon.
"It sounded almost like a firecracker or something like that," Clewer said.
Burns less than an inch in diameter were left on the carpet where he had been standing, the report said. It did not say if Clewer was injured.
Fire officials evacuated the building, fearing the incident might trigger electrical problems, but let Clewer go, the report said.
When he got in his car, Clewer's problems continued.
"I actually scorched a piece of plastic I had on the floor of the car," he said.
Fire officials took Clewer's jacket and said it continued to give off voltage.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,169653,00.htmlAnd Emishi's
Loulan Kingdom is also real:
"One of the great mysteries in Chinese history is the disappearance of the ancient city of Loulan. The city was located about 300 km (186.4 miles) northeast of Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and adjacent to another early city, Dunhuang in Gansu Province. Like Pompeii in ancient Rome which drowned in a sea of volcanic ash, Loulan fell victim to an incredible natural disaster that transformed the once beautiful city into a barren and perilous desert landscape. This inexplicable event has whetted the curiosity of archaeologists and other scientists over the years."

http://yeschinatour.com/china-guides/china...ent-city-korla/5# I heard that Ginji is Taller than Ban. Is that true?Yup, believe it. It's true.
6# Does Ban have a Dark side? Because in one scene he was really Scary.Yup, Ban has a Dark side. This isn't very clear because the Anime touched this aspect only a few times. But from what I have seen it seems like whatever is responsible for his ability to draw power from Asclepius(his birth star) is the same thing which is responsible for his Dark Side.
7# In one scene Akabane says that Ban is a genius when it comes to keen Battle Instincts. Is Ban really a Genius?You can judge it yourself whether he is a Genius or not. Fact is, Ban's Instincts as well as his Reasoning ability are that of a Detective & a Battle Strategist. He
always watches the people around him and accurately deduces what they are thinking, most of the time. As a result he knows what is about to happen and plans accordingly. Here is an Example... Don't take your eyes off Ban in this video-
http://view.break.com/488608The above video is just a sample. If you watch Getbackers
carefully then you'll see those kinds of scenes in every episode.
8# Who is the strongest in Getbackers? I know that Ban defeated Jackal in Episode 48. But since you said that whatever happens in Maze city is only Half real, who is the strongest in reality(in the real world)? or Who is the strongest outside Maze city?Before I answer that question you need to know what a perfect Virtual Reality really is.
A perfect Virtual Reality(or VR in short) is nothing but a false reality created within the minds/brains of people. Since everything we experience in reality is nothing but an signal sent to our brains by our five senses, a perfect Virtual Reality setup/system
mimics or simulates the five senses perfectly.. or in other words a perfect VR system sends a signal similar to the signal which our 5 senses sends
directly into our brains. So we can see, hear, smell, taste & feel objects, even though those objects don't actually exist. In other words,
a perfect VR system has the ability to create Perfect Illusions within the minds of people.The fight between Ban & Jackal was a virtual fight.. the fight only took place in Virtual Reality(or in other words the fight only took place inside the minds of Ban & Jackal). Here's a hint: Go to Episode 48 & don't take your eyes of Jackal's clothes both during and after Ban defeats him.
How Ban defeated the Lightning Emperor is still not shown explicitly, but he defeated him the same way he defeated Jackal. How did he defeat Jackal? He defeated him because of his "Evil Eye" ability. No he didn't use his Evil Eye on Jackal, but he defeated him because of his Evil Eye.
Ban has an idea of how the Virtual Reality System works side-by-side with Reality, in Maze city. He knows how the VR system works because of his Evil Eye ability.
Evil Eye is an ability of witches to create Perfect Illusions inside the minds of others.. or in other words the "Evil Eye" is
just like a Virtual reality system. Witches who can use the Evil Eye know how illusions are created in the Human Brain more than anybody else. If they didn't know that then they can never make others hallucinate, or make them see illusions, in the first place. So it's safe to say that Ban used his knowledge of Virtual Reality/Illusions to get an edge over Jackal in his fight with him in Episode 48.
MazeCity's Virtual-Reality is nothing but an illusion created within the minds of others. The one who has the power to overcome illusions(which ofcourse cannot be done unless he has the knowledge of
how illusions are created in the human brain) will have the advantage in a virtual fight. Since Ban is a master of creating illusions within the minds of others(because of his Evil Eye ability), & has a lot of experience doing this, naturally he holds the edge in a virtual fight. This was explained in plain terms as "Stronger mind"(or Stronger "will power" as was translated by the fan subbers). People who have the power to
Overcome illusions obviously have a strong mind. This is also how he broke into the illusion and rescued Himiko and scared the shit out of Kagami in Episode 20.
So there you have it.. now you know how Ban defeated Jackal in the virtual fight, inside maze city in Episode 48.
So this means that outside Maze city no one knows who the strongest is. But judging by what's happened so far, I'd say Jackal would emerge as the victor if Ban fights him outside Maze city(the real world). That is of course if Jackal doesn't fall into Ban's Evil Eye. If Ban manages to catch Jackal in his Evil Eye, then the fight's over.
# Hold on.. then can Ban always prevail over the illusions in Maze city?Nope.. like I said before Ban has the advantage and that's it. He
cannot completely overcome the illusions, but he can dilute the effects of virtual-reality/illusions to a extent and thus gain an upper hand. This applies to Ginji as well. If Ginji thinks his friends are in danger then he can instinctively manipulate the illusions to a great extent. If there is no such emergency then his ability to manipulate the illusions drops drastically.
9# How does Ginji fits into all this? How can Ginji possess so much power inside Maze city than in the outside world?Ginji can do 2 things in Maze city which he cannot do in the outside world.
First he can absorb the radiation-signals(microwaves) which fill Maze city and converts it into unbelievable amounts electricity & concentrated microwaves, thus becoming more powerful. As you know, Microwaves can be converted into heat or electricity, and vice versa(Physics 101).
The second thing which he can do is the most important. Ginji is very similar to Ban. Ban holds the edge in Maze city because of his experience with illusions. Ginji on the other hand can manipulate the signals of the VR system because of his microwave generating ability.
Ginji can generate electricity & microwaves, which we all know. The VR system in Maze city works by sending signals(in the form of Microwaves) into the brains of others. Ginji can tap into these microwaves and send in his own Microwave signal. The Microwave signal which he sends holds his desires & wishes. If he wishes to become 10,000 times powerful to protect his friends, then he can become just that, If he wishes to win a fight, then he can win it.. since he is generating his own microwave signals, and hence his own illusions reflecting his desires and wishes, into the brains of others. And that's why he can do anything he wants inside Maze city. That's the awesome power of Ginji.
The Microwave signal which he sends is what Ban explained it to others(in Episode 24) in plain & simple language as "Ginji's Aura". And he sends his desires & wishes as microwave signals instinctively, as explained by Ban.
So we have 2 people, one who knows how to cleverly operate in a Virtual environment(Ban Midou) & the other can tap into the Microwave signal network and send his own desires & wishes as his own microwave signal(Ginji Amano). These 2 people, the Getbackers, are unbeatable inside Maze city. The only people who can challenge them are those who can manipulate the virtual space using other means.. like for example- #
Makubex, who hacks into the computer in the Archive(which drives or operates the Microwave machine) and instructs that computer which inturn instructs the Microwave machine to send Makubex's instructed/programmed illusions/Microwave signal, & the #
Brains Trust who are the architect behind this VR place. The Brains Trust are the ones who created this Microwave based VR system in the first place.
In case you didn't know, there are 3 major components which are required to run the Virtual Reality System in Maze city- the Archive(a database which holds all the virtual-reality data), The Main Computer(which runs the data in the Archive & feeds the data to the microwave machine), & the third & the most important component.. The Microwave Machine(built into the building itself). I think the Archive hosts both the data as well as the Main computer. Further explanation regarding this is given in FAQ no: 12.
10# Are there any Differences between the Manga & the Anime?There are many MANY differences between Manga & the Anime of Getbackers. Infact there are many differences in the Anime itself.
Differences in Anime:
The first difference is between the T.V release & the DVD release.In the DVD release, the Animation is more crispier and has very highly detail.

DVD release

DVD release

T.V release
The first pic was taken from Animax. Although Animax is a T.V channel it aired the DVD version of Getbackers from August 2005. Before August 2005 it aired the T.V version.
Since the Animax pic is of low quality I have included a second pic taken from the DVD itself. You can clearly notice the difference between the 2nd & the 3rd pic... the basic Animation difference(face, eyes, shadows, glasses, hair before the eyes.. etc) between the two are clearly visible. Also, you can see clearly that there is no Animation in the edges in the T.V version. But in the DVD version additional Animation was added around the edges.
"So what exactly is a T.V & a DVD version?" will naturally be your next question. T.V releases are the
First aired versions of an Anime in Japan. If you are a downloader and if you downloaded an Anime from fan subbers, it is undoubtdly a T.V version. The Fan subbers record the Anime from Anime channels in Japan and subtitle them for the Anime Community to download. So downloaders will most probably have the T.V releases in their collection.
DVD releases are re-mastered versions which features very high detailed Animation and extremely enhanced Audio.
The second difference is between the various Dubs of Getbackers.Here is the list of Dubs which have been made-
French
German
Portuguese
Spanish
Filipino(Tagalog)
2 English Dubs
& Of course, the Japanese Originals.
The ADV dub is from the Distributor AD Vision inc and was released on DVDs. The Animax Dub is from Sony Pictures and was aired in South Asia & South East Asia on the Animax Channel from Dec 2004 to Aug 2007. The English Dub by the Distributor(ADV) is a copy of the Japanese Originals, while the English Dub by Sony Pictures(Animax) is a copy of both the Japanese Originals and the Manga. This is because the Scriptwriter(Mike Quinn) used both Manga and the Japanese voiced Anime as his reference while writing the dialogues for the Animax version. As a result his dialogues bear a trait similar to the Manga. The dialogs in ADV/Japanese Originals are often stiff & formal while Animax often features Slangy dialogs similar to the Manga. The manga was meant for late teens & Adult Audience, and hence has a more Informal/Slangy tinge than the Anime. As a result, Ban is more bad ass & cocky in the Animax version than in the ADV version. Ginji is a lot dumber & funny in Animax version than in the ADV version. Jackal sports a British accent in the ADV version while in the Animax version he has a neutral Accent. There are also some use of 'foul' words in dialogues of the Animax version.
-------
Differences between the Manga & the AnimeThere are many differences between Anime & Manga/Comics. In General, The Manga is targeted at the 18+ Age group but the Anime is only for the 15+ Age group. So there is no Blood at all in Anime. They have almost completely removed Blood resulting from Battles. Also, Jackal kills his opponents by cutting off the Arms & the head from the torso/body.. but in the Anime he just cuts a Zorro Style "J" mark on the back of the opponents.
Here are 2 more differences: The first difference is in Episode 2(which I have explained in the next question). The second difference is in Episode 48.. which I don't want to spoil it for Manga readers.
The Miroku Brothers are only 2 personalities in the Anime. In the Manga, they have 7 personalities. Oh.. and they are NOT split personalities, they are actually 7(or 2 in the Anime) different souls. Those 7 souls cannot appear together and have to share a single place & time.
There are still many MANY more differences.. If I had the time I could list them all.. but unfortunately I don't. So Grab the Manga and see for yourself. : )
11# What actually happened at the end of episode 2?In the Manga-
Only the Old Man gets the Evil Eye.
In the Anime-

Only Ginji gets the Evil Eye. Ban after inquiring about the state of the Old Man(with the ambulance doctor) gives Ginji the Evil eye so that he shouldn't feel bad about the daughter not coming to see her father. As you know, Ginji is a soft type and was very interested & emotionally attached to this case even after Ban rejected it.
Point to note: The Old man's eyes and Ban's eye never met. The Old man just laid lifeless looking at the sky, he didn't look into Ban's eye. It's possible that he died after opening his eyes.
There is a second version... In it Ginji accidentally gets hit by the Evil Eye when Ban was busy giving his Evil Eye to the old man. Or in other words, both Ginji as well as the Old Man get the Evil Eye. But I don't know how the old man can get it without looking at Ban. So there is a serious flaw in this version.
Taking all these facts into perspective, I would go for version 1.
Last few seconds in the Anime(ADV version)- Ginji suspects that it was Ban's Evil Eye. But he still isn't sure about it.
Last few seconds in the Anime(Animax version)- Ginji doesn't suspects anything. He still believes that the Daughter really came.
12# What happened at the end of Episode 49(last episode)? They said that Makubex & all virtual people were free. So does that mean that they can leave Maze city?Nope. Those people can never leave Maze city. What happened was... hmm... before I explain it you need to know how Maze city works.
There are 3 major components which are required to run the Virtual part of Maze city(lower town)- the Archive(a database which holds all the virtual data of Lower Town), The Main Computer(which runs the data in the Archive & feeds the data into the Microwave machine), & the third & the most important component.. The Microwave Machine(built into the building itself). I think the Archive hosts both the data as well as the Main computer, but we'll consider them as separate entities for now.
The Archive & the Main computer are under the complete control of the Brain trust(Complete control in the sense the Brain trust can delete or Modify any data which they please). So what the GB team did was they copied the data from the Archive to the Paul's computer. Now with the Data in Paul's computer, they can run it in the same computer and use the Microwave machine built into Maze city to bring the Virtual things & Virtual people to life. After they copied the data, they destroyed the original(Archive). Now the data is completely separate from the Brain trust. The Brain trust can no longer modify or delete the data of the Virtual people as well as all the other virtual data concerned with Maze city(lower town).
Now since the Microwave machine is built into Maze city, those people can only exist inside Maze city. That's why I said those people can never leave.
13# In the Il arc(Episode 11 to 25) Makubex always says that it's all according to plan. But how can anyone plan all that? Did makubex knew Kazuki would escape and Ban would rescue Himiko?Nope he didn't. The plan which he keeps on saying is not the plan which you're thinking of. It's a logical step plan.. or in otherwords it's like a computer algorithm. He expects every possibility which could happen and then writes down a flow chart/algorithm to always have the upper hand, and thus accomplishing his goal of completing the nuclear weapon.
Let's consider the scene in Episode 20 in which Himiko is captured by Kagami. Now if Himiko is killed, then these set of instructions should be executed by his gang, OR if Himiko survives on her own and escapes then these set of instructions should be carried out by his people. OR if Ban saves Himiko then another set of instructions should be executed by the people under his command, OR fourth possibility, Or fifth possibility... Get it? Now since Ban saved Himiko then the instruction is for Kagami to kill them both failing which he is to retreat, and if possible make Ban waste one of his Evil Eye. Kagami accomplished the task of making Ban waste one of his Evil Eye, but he didn't accomplish the task of killing them both. If Kagami had succeeded in killing both of them then another set of instructions listed in the algorithm/plan should be carried out. Since Kagami only managed to waste Ban's evil eye a single time, then alternate set of plan/instructions are carried out. All the
possibilities are
pre-written, hence the usage of the word- Plan. Only one possibility was not taken into account by his plan, and that was Ginji Amano getting to the basement first.
14# What was Makubex doing in the Il arc? I can't understand anything.Makubex wanted to know if he really existed. He wanted to know whether his existence/being(which is a computer program) is capable of independent thought and actions, and not which is controlled by the Gods of Babylon city. To prove that, he has to show that he can challenge the Gods of Maze city.. since Gods(or the people incharge) cannot be in-control of a program which challenges or blackmails them. So he decides to build a nuclear weapon.
He was constructing a nuclear weapon to Blackmail the Gods of Babylon city. The Gods of Babylon city, who control the entire complex(Lower Town, the Beltline and the Babylon city) can change entire scenario in Maze city if they wish to. It's kinda like an administrator having overall control of a computer server. He wanted the administrators/Gods to change the way Maze city is currently in. He wanted the old days of the volts to come back, and for that to happen the Gods should change the Virtual Reality system to that period of Maze city(Maze City is also known as Infinity Fortress or Limitless Fortress). That was his plan.
Il plays 2 parts in this plan, first and the most important part is to
force or blackmail the Gods thereby proving that he exists, and the second is to summon Ginji and the others into maze city in order to create the old days of Maze city where the volts were present. That's because without Ginji there would be no volts.
The first part of his plan was extremely risky because the Administrator/Gods would just treat Makubex and the others as out-of-control programs and just erase them completely, just like resetting a video game.
The second part was also risky because Kazuki, Shido and even Ginji could have died in this scheme. Also his dream wouldn't have been complete because the fourth god(Masaki) isn't present.
But still Makubex continued his megalomaniacal plan because of his unwavering & firm obsession to know if he is capable of independent thought and actions(or in other words, if he
truly exists). Thankfully Kazuki, Shido and Ginji were all alive.. and when he was just about force the Gods, Ban stopped him using his evil eye. If he didn't stop Makubex, then either the Gods would have granted his wish and changed Maze city to the old days of the volts(without Masaki), OR they would have just killed all the virtual people(including makubex) by erasing all the data. Most probably they would have chosen the second option, so Ban did the right thing stopping Makubex.
15# What was Masaki doing during the second Maze city arc?The fear that everyone had during the first Maze city arc(Il retrieval), that there is the possibility the Gods would delete all the data and kill everyone, becomes a reality now. The Gods decide to erase all the data which forms the virtual part of Maze city because Makubex was becoming more and more powerful because of his increasing knowledge of how Maze city works, and the Gods(or the Brains Trust as they are called) were a bit fearful of that. They were planning to erase not just Makubex's data but all the Virtual Reality data and start afresh. But Masaki jumps in to save all the virtual people and also Makubex by striking a deal with the Gods. He says that he can imprison him permanently and thus remove the threat from Makubex. And after that he takes Makubex's place and rules over the lower town.
Ginji and the others say to Masaki that he shouldn't follow orders from the Gods just because they are powerful. They give confidence to him by saying that the Getbackers would take on the Gods and win.
16# How did Ginji defeat Masaki in Episode 49? How could he see Masaki after he has closed his eyes?That's because of Ginji's "Aura". Ginji can tap into the microwave-signal network.. or in other words he can feel, read and even send microwaves. The virtual reality system works by Radiation(most probably Microwave Radiation), which we all know. Ginji can read Masaki's actions(which is Virtual, remember this is a virtual fight) because Masaki's actions are nothing but microwaves impacting the brain to create the illusion that a fight is taking place. Since Ginji has the capability to feel, read and even send his own microwaves by instinct, he knows what Masaki is doing by reading the microwaves responsible for creating the illusion that Masaki is throwing a punch. That's why he counters his moves successfully even with his eyes closed. The previous injury given to Masaki by Teshimine makes him to lose his concentration, thereby helping Ginji to land a powerful volt packed punch to immobilise Masaki completely.
17# I came to know from some people that Getbackers is a Yaoi Anime, and that Ban & Ginji are Gay. Is that true?Nope.. it's just a wish of some yaoi fans. Getbackers are anything but Gay or Bisexual.. and that goes for every other character in Getbackers, including Kazuki and Jubei. Infact there is a story behind it.. when more and more fangirls started liking Getbackers, the person responsible for Art, Rando Ayamine responded positively to the idea of Kazuki and Juubei being gay when the Getbackers manga was close to completion. Another person responsible for animation released a fan service album in which the characters were implied as Homosexuals. Rando Ayamine asked Yuya Aoki(the main man - a.k.a the story writer) to make Kazuki and Jubei a Gay couple when the manga ends.
But ( -Possible Spoilers ahead, I suggest you don't read it- Highlight it if you want to read )
he(Yuya Aoki) refused his request, And for good reasons too.. Kazuki already has a girl, Ren who is in the pharmacy. Kazuki who gets confused by others of being a girl, gets paired up with the pharmacy girl Ren who gets confused by others of being a boy, makes perfect sense.18# I often hear Ban say that the Getbackers have a near 100% success rate. But they have failed in a lot of missions. How can they have a near 100% success rate if they fail in their missions?That's a lie ofcourse. You can call it one of Ban's Marketing ideas to get some customers. Infact, in manga he often tells Ginji to even drop the "near" word.
19# So that's a Lie??Yup. BTW, this isn't the only time he lied or tricked someone. If you watch GB carefully you can guess which are lies/tricks and which aren't. For example-
In Episode 33, Ban lied to Jackal that he used the Evil Eye on him, but actually he didn't. It was actually this thing he is carrying on his back-



We all know what happened in Episode 2. So I'll skip it.
Another incident is the Evil Eye on Shido in Episode 6 & 7. Ofcourse he explains it in the end but he still doesn't say how long the Evil Eye lasted. But I figured it out: The Evil Eye ended after Shido sees the illusion of Ban falling to the Ground when all the animals jump on him.
In Episode 34, Ban says to that Old Man that it was all part of the plan and he finally managed to trick him. But actually it was a lie(He really got his butt kicked and got captured. Ofcourse, the reason he lost the fight was because the enemy had surprised him). He lied to get even with the old man and thereby get his pride back.
Even Ginji gets pulled into that lie and thinks that everything happening there was part of the plan. As a result they lose the Diamond.
The real plan was the one which is a shown as a flash-back just before Ginji entered the Mansion.
I was able to figure out Ban's lie in Episode 33 without any difficulty because of several clues. But Episode 34 was a little tough because the clues were hard to figure.
20# So let me get this straight, Ban plays tricks and never explains it? We have to figure it out?Yup!! He lies and plays tricks and only explains it sometimes. Half of the time we have to figure it out.
Also lies aren't the only thing in Getbackers which are not explained. Like I mentioned before, Ban always watches the people around him, so watch out for those & get some hints from there. Also there is the complex nature of Maze city which we have to figure out ourselves.
I'd like to explain more Hidden & Complex stuff in GB but I'm pretty much exhausted writing all this. If you want to understand everything which are Subtle & Complex in GB, then do what I always do when watching GB... think like Ban.
