The year is 2013. Skyscraper bombings are happening all over the world, by the direction of a force called “His Voice”. 27 years after the 00 Cyborg team disbanded, 007 now works for the British SIS and 002 now works for The USA’s NSA after a falling out with the team and Joe. The two agents meet at a bar in New York City to exchange intel about “His Voice” and Pyunma’s findings of a fossil which resembles an angel’s skeleton possibly being related to it. The intelligence agencies of the world are all whispering about the incidents being related to His Voice, the unknown entity that is controlling operatives of the bombings.

In Dubai, a B-2 bomber flown by a US Air Force pilot under the control of His Voice launches missiles at the city, with 002 in pursuit to intercept. 009 appears and uses his Acceleration mode to destroy the missiles. After 009 gets knocked off the plane by 002 in a fight, the pilot fires a nuclear bomb which destroys the entire city and kills the population of Dubai. 009 uses his Acceleration Mode to outrun the blast, but is left unconscious and lying on the beach. In his mind, he pictures himself in the burned out city, despondent over his failure. Tomoe appears to comfort him, and remind him of his purpose. Due to the EMP effects of the nuclear blast, communications are down and the team thinks Joe is dead.

002 flies up to try to help 009 but ends up burning out his rockets and damaging his stabilizers, causing him to plummet towards Earth. Joe then speaks to God and says that while humanity is foolish and causes suffering towards each other, he believes in them because they have such great potential to go beyond those vices and make their dreams become reality. He then pleads to him that the earth be spared, only for the bomb to detonate in space with Joe on top of it, the light of the explosion forming a cross. Francoise watches two falling stars, and silently prays upon both.

In re-imagining Cyborg 009 for the year 2012, “RE:” was included in the title, indicating the movie as a sequel to the original manga (taking place 27 years after Ishinomori’s last arc in 1986) as well as symbolizing a “restart” for the franchise.

Originally, Mamoru Oshii was assigned to the project in 2009, and would later create a short CGI demo film that was screened in September 2010, titled “Cyborg 009: The REopening”. In Oshii’s first vision of RE: (prior to the demo film), all the 00 cyborgs except 009, 003, and 001 had passed away in the ensuing years, and 009 was holed up in an apartment in retirement while 003 and 001 had taken to traveling the world. 001 was said to be in the form of a dog, rather than a baby, and 003 had aged to her fifties while 009 remained physically in his teens

After Kamiyama had joined the project as screenwriter, the above setting was thrown out and tweaked to 009 living as a high school student with amnesia, while 003 would have to re-awaken his memories. 002 was also depicted as alive in the finalized concept film, although the fates of the others were not mentioned. Oshii stepped down from the full film project, leaving Kamiyama to take over as the director, and to also throw out Oshii’s initial setting of 003 being 58 years old in the year 2013.
