Opening Visuals
Dozens of parasite "eggs" are seen falling down into the city, during the night. Satomi is seen standing next to a flowered bush, followed by Shinichi standing on the opposite side. As the background breaks into shards of glass, Shinichi and Satomi are seen drifting from each other. A close up of Shinichi's face is seen, proceeded by a flash of an eye.

The Parasyte -the maxim- logo appears on the screen, with Migi making an appearance after. Shinichi steps into a puddle of red liquid, reflecting the city, and looks off into the sky.

Multiple civilians are seen walking and quickly freeze, as some of their heads shapeshift into parasites. Tamiya Ryōko and her next identity, Reiko Tamura are seen standing back to back, and morph into attack and defense mode respectively. Shinichi is then seen surrounded by water, as air bubbles float towards the surface. Shinichi is seen with a saddened look on his face, with Hideo Shimada on his left side. With a closer image of Shinichi's face, Gotou can be seen standing on his right side. A quick flash of a parasite's mouth is seen.

Kana is standing still, looking at the moon, an image of her face appears next to her. The image is then changed to Shinichi's mother, Nobuko, who proceeds to gain three slash marks across her face. A naked Satomi is seen falling back into Shinichi's arms, who is also naked.

Shinichi is then seen falling from the sky, with the city and steel beams in the background. As Shinichi continues to fall, quick flashes of Uragami, Yuko, Akiho, Gotou, and Takeshi can be seen. Shinichi then lands and quickly stands upright, revealing a new look, as Migi forms a blade.

TV Version Lyrics
Romaji= You guys do not notice that we are gifted just by being humans We are absolute predators We do not even have any enemies Maybe there are other animals watching us and thinking that someday “we will beat them down”

Oh We have the brains to think hard Wear our favorite clothes We are at no doubt human beings Many small lives They were born [They were born] with the fate [with the fate] of dying for someone [for someone A human baby] A human baby When will they find out [When will they find out the true fact yeah] that at the point they were born, we are [we are winners] (the) winners of Earth

Aa hitori naiteita tonari no kimi ga toikakeru dakara bokura yorisoi ikiru kirameku made

For what have I been living for？ When will I find out the answer？ An answer that is only for you What will myself and... Kanji= You guys do not notice that we are gifted just by being humans We are absolute predators We do not even have any enemies Maybe there are other animals watching us and thinking that someday “we will beat them down”

Oh We have the brains to think hard Wear our favorite clothes We are at no doubt human beings Many small lives They were born [They were born] with the fate [with the fate] of dying for someone [for someone A human baby] A human baby When will they find out [When will they find out the true fact yeah] that at the point they were born, we are [we are winners] (the) winners of Earth

ああ　ひとり泣いていた　となりのきみが問いかける だから僕ら寄り添い生きる　煌めくまで

For what have I been living for？ When will I find out the answer？ An answer that is only for you What will myself and...

Aa mata kimi no me ni itsumo no asa ga utsurikomu nagareru namida ga kiete yuku
