What happens

City Hunter: Angel Dust, also known as City Hunter The Movie: Angel Dust (Japanese: 劇場版シティーハンター 天使の涙 (エンジェルダスト), Hepburn: Gekijō-ban Shitī Hantā Tenshi no Namida (Enjeru Dasuto)), is a 2023 Japanese animated action film. It is part of the City Hunter franchise and is a follow-up to the 2019 film City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes. It is adapting the first part of the final arc of the City Hunter manga. The film was directed by Kazuyoshi Takeuchi and Kenji Kodama. Like other City Hunter episodes and films, Angel Dust stars Ryo Saeba, a "sweeper" who does dangerous odd jobs as part of "City Hunter", a business partnership with Kaori Makimura. He is contacted by a beautiful foreigner, Angie, and asked for help in retrieving her missing cat. While Ryo contents himself to goofy and lascivious antics at first, Ryo and his other allies eventually find themselves contending against assassins working for an international criminal mercenary outfit who seem to have an interest in Angie. All parties are also searching for "Angel Dust Modified" (ADM), a missing nanomachine serum that might turn those affected by it who survive into super soldiers. The original formulation of Angel Dust is also given a tie to Ryo's own backstory with his former partner Hideyuki Makimura. The returning characters are all played by the same voice actors as when the original anime first aired in 1987, a rarity for such a long-running franchise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
