Special Mission
Beans interrupts Cheadle's first meeting as chairman with a broadcast: Kakin's King Nasubi announces the voyage to the Dark Continent, led by Beyond Netero — a son the late chairman never mentioned. Netero left a second DVD for exactly this contingency, but before it plays, Cheadle drops her own news: Ging and Pariston have quit the Zodiacs, and the V5 have ordered the remaining ten to hunt Beyond down.
