The cue numbers reveal enormous density — some scenes compile over a dozen individual music cues. "Zenigata and Mariya" alone spans nine cues (M-10 through 18) — the inspector's romantic subplot gets substantial musical investment.

"Heart Station" provides an emotional center. "Mariya's memory" adds romantic retrospection. The Tokyo Crisis special is remembered as one of the franchise's best, and the soundtrack's scale — dozens of cues organized into thematic suites — shows why.
Ohno's jazz-fusion scoring at its most productive.
