Bank

From Bible Black Wiki

The bank is a location featured in the Bible Black: New Testament anime series. Its entrance is located on the ground floor of a high-rise downtown area.

The building contains numerous counters and seats for customers. The basement houses a room secured by a thick vault door. Inside are several dozen safety deposit boxes and other secure storage lockers.

History

Using his son's name, the famous archaeologist Souji Yoshitani rents one of the bank's safety deposit boxes to store the Spear of Longinus, an artifact he recently discovered.

Sometime later, the mysterious magic user and Academy student Jody Crowley discovers the whereabouts of the artifact and sends a group of robbers to retrieve it from the bank safe. Armed with shotguns and wearing yellow face masks, the five men take the customers and bank staff hostage. During the heist, just before the bank's closing time, Tokken investigators Kurumi Imari and Aki Ichikawa arrive and are taken captive as well. The leader of the robbers gropes Imari and then forces the bound and blindfolded clerks and customers to have sex with each other.

The leader then takes Aki and Imari and two female employees to the ladies restroom, brutally raping both clerks before violently killing one of them with his weapon. He knocks out Aki, and engages into a mysterious ceremony with a bound Imari, reviving the soul of the evil witch Reika Kitami that was embedded within her. The woman quickly kills the leader and then rapes the remaining bank clerk as well.

Imari collects the artifact from the safe.

Meanwhile, a large police force has assembled outside the building. While Imari - now controlled by Kitami - makes her way to the bank's vault and takes the Spear of Longinus, the officers storm the building using teargas, killing the remaining four robbers.

Soon after, Tokken chief Toru Yuge wakes up Aki in the bathroom. They later use the bank's records and surveillance tapes to aid them in their investigation of the incident.

Trivia

  • The Spear of Longinus is located in safety deposit box number 3079.
  • The opening hours on the bank's entrance indicate it is opened from 9.00 AM to 4.00 PM. The ATM machine appears to be open from 8.00 AM to 8.00 PM.
  • Aki and Imari enter the bank at around 2.55 PM, indicated by Imari checking her watch. Although she claims the bank is about to close, the opening times seem to suggest they have over an hour left. This could however simply be a translation issue.
  • There is a camera visible in the bank's deposit box room when Imari/Kitami takes the Spear of Longinus. However, unlike other records later retrieved from the bank, the footage from this device is never seen. It is possible Imari/Kitami disabled the camera beforehand or destroyed any recordings.
