Tetsuwan Birdy Decode:02

Birdy and Tsutomu are still co-existing in the same body, as Birdy continues her duties as Federation Investigator and celebrity persona, and Tsutomu seeks to balance them with his normal everyday life.

When a criminal group connected to the Ryunka incident escape from custody, hiding themselves and their alien identities on Earth, Birdy and Tsutomu are thrown back into action.

It seems, however, that there are other forces involved, as well as old faces, which give Birdy time to reflect on the past, and the people that influenced her.

EP1 - After All

Birdy is informed of a break-out from an intergalactic prison, and manages to track down one of the rogue prisoners. Although she is ordered to apprehend the criminals alive, he was killed by the time she arrived on the scene. The only clue is a disguise chip, which dissolved the body.

Senkawa and the journalism club go investigate a refugee camp. While Hayasumi is just trying to get a good story, Birdy is hoping to get a lead on another alien living in the camp. Two young children, Takumi and Marina, give the club a tour of the camp. They run away into the ruins so that they don't have to be separated, but get attacked by a group of thugs. Nataru, volunteering at the camp, goes after the children, but isn't strong enough on his own. Birdy arrives to rescue him.

Birdy tracks down the illegal Virtual Reactor Chips purchaser, who is Nataru's father, Mr. Dusk. Dusk reveals he is a member of an Alterian freedom group, and that he helped disguise the escapees. Birdy goes after the nearest, but the escapees kidnap Dusk and interrogate him on the attacks on their number. He is murdered, which angers Nataru and upsets Birdy.

Iruma, Birdy's contact on Earth for information, is kidnapped by the escapees to lure her into a trap. She escapes being nearly killed by a long-range gun and fights to a draw. She collapses before she enters the portal to her ship, however. Tsutomu has a weird dream, a blend between his own memories and Birdy's. This is when he discovers he is trapped in Birdy's body. He is thus forced to follow her schedule, including a signing some of his classmates attend, a photo shoot and a reality contest where he has to eat bugs. At the end, he learns that personality merging has begun.

She uses the injury to gain entrance to where Nataru works in the hospital, again trying to kill him.

Nataru relents and jumps back in time to the moment of the tower attack becoming the man who saves a young Birdy via a time-loop.
