rate". Their motto is: "We get back what shouldn't
be gone".
However, Ban and Ginji are not ordinary human beings. They each
possess mysterious abilities which they use to carry out their many
recovery missions. Ban's powers include the "Snakebite", a skill which
gives his hands a grip of 200 kilograms-force, and the "Evil Eye" , an ability
to induce minute-long hallucinations of Ban's choosing in whomever he
makes direct eye contact with. Ginji,
on the other hand, can generate enormous amounts of electrical energy
in his body for tasks such as attacking opponents, or overloading
electronic systems; this has earned him the moniker of "Lightning Lord".
Despite the simplicity of their job's description, Ban and Ginji's
profession often places them into bizarre and dangerous situations in
order to obtain the objects they must find...
