Character Synopsis
Murasaki opens the cage and number 8 comes out as Murasaki laughs at how strong he is. He tells #8 to kick the brat and beat him to death, but #8 refuses. Murasaki yells at him, but #8 still refuses. Murasaki says he was created by the Red Ribbon Army and can’t believe he would refuse to obey his parents. #8 insists that he can’t, so Murasaki prepares to listen to him. He pulls a remote control out of his shirt and says he has a bomb in his body, just for an example like this. Just press the switch and the number 8 explodes. Still, #8 insists he can do no wrong. Believing him to be a traitor and a failed creature, White yells at Murasaki to blow him up. So Murasaki distances himself and prepares to hit the switch. But then Goku swoops in and rips the controller out of his hand, smashing it. Goku then hits Murasaki with Janken Gū and Murasaki goes flying into the wall, knocked out.
Goku balances along the railing towards #8 who thanks Goku. Goku tells him that you have to fight the bad guys even though it’s not good to kill them. No. 8 admits that he is afraid of fighting. No. 8 then asks him his name. “I’m Son Goku. You?” “My name is Artificial Human #8. Goku thinks whatever-No. 8 is a strange name. Number 8 asks if he is here to help the village elder. Goku says yes and there is no time to waste. No. 8 offers to lead the way to the top floor as a thank you.
