**[00:02] ---**
Akihabara, the city of dreams,
**[00:02] ---**
"Akihabara"
**[00:04] ---**
is now under threat from mysterious
monstrosities, known as the Bugged Ones.
**[00:09] ---**
The people of the city formed
vigilante organizations to resist them,
**[00:13] ---**
but the invasion of the
Bugged Ones only grow worse each day.
**[00:17] ---**
This is a story of Tamotsu Denkigai,
**[00:20] ---**
a young man who gained
the power of the Bugged Ones,
**[00:23] ---**
and his merry friends, who stood up
to defend the peace in Akihabara.
**[00:30] ---**
The Akiba Festival...
**[00:31] ---**
I hear they're doing a lot
of really flashy things.
**[00:33] ---**
We are enforcing the Akiba Ban!
**[00:36] ---**
We can't clear Ma's name.
**[00:38] ---**
You can't be...
**[00:40] ---**
Are you okay, Mayo?
**[00:42] ---**
The real battle starts now.
**[00:44] ---**
It's her... It's my imposter again...
**[00:47] ---**
Mayo!
**[00:48] ---**
Come on! Did she do this?! Hey!
**[00:54] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[01:01] ---**
"Akiba Ban Headquarters"
**[01:03] ---**
"Minister's Special Office"
**[01:09] ---**
Making deals with prominent people to let me
become the Minister of Special Discipline,
**[01:13] ---**
providing huge funds for bribing
opponents of the Akiba Ban...
**[01:18] ---**
I can't thank Metrotica
enough for all the help!
**[01:22] ---**
Now we can finally get rid of those
stinky disgusting otaku from Akihabara!
**[01:27] ---**
Anime, manga, games... Those silly things
should be removed from all of Japan,
**[01:30] ---**
not just Akihabara!
**[01:33] ---**
Besides, those otaku are always
criticizing others online,
**[01:36] ---**
but suddenly start yapping about
individual freedom or otaku discrimination
**[01:40] ---**
the moment they become
the target of criticism.
**[01:42] ---**
Allowing such self-centered fools
to have significance in Japan is horrible!
**[01:46] ---**
We must make this world
much more disciplined and moral...
**[01:50] ---**
We have no interest in your beliefs.
**[01:52] ---**
Just do as we say.
**[01:55] ---**
O-Oh, of course!
**[01:59] ---**
Smooch! Oh, lovely money!
**[02:05] ---**
So...
**[02:06] ---**
Do you have a photo of the money transfer?
**[02:09] ---**
Oh, yes, um...
**[02:12] ---**
It's always safe to have multiple leashes,
even for a disposable pawn.
**[02:18] ---**
Anwyay, we should make
the best use out of this ban.
**[02:24] ---**
We need to push more humans out.
**[02:29] ---**
I'll leave you to deal with the traitor.
**[02:32] ---**
I'm counting on you, Urame.
**[02:38] ---**
Playtime is over. Time to
wake up from the messy dream.
**[02:47] ---**
He's awake!
**[02:48] ---**
Oh! Yes! He's alive!
**[02:51] ---**
Welcome back, Big Bro!
**[02:55] ---**
Huh...? I...
**[02:57] ---**
Tamotsu! I'm so glad...
**[03:00] ---**
I thought you were going to die again!
**[03:02] ---**
Huh?
**[03:05] ---**
Oh? Tamotsu...
**[03:06] ---**
Your hair, it's...
**[03:09] ---**
Huh? Hair?
**[04:42] ---**
"TRIP 12 - Electric Mayo's Falling Apart!"
**[04:44] ---**
Eat, eat!
**[04:45] ---**
Wait a sec! I'm full already!
**[04:48] ---**
No! You have to eat more and heal yourself!
**[04:51] ---**
Here you are.
**[04:53] ---**
The best for recovering stamina,
Chinese pit viper garlic juice!
**[04:58] ---**
Oh, Momo!
**[05:00] ---**
Hey, thanks...
**[05:03] ---**
By the way...
**[05:05] ---**
It's gotten pretty quiet, huh?
**[05:08] ---**
It's all because of that Akiba Ban.
**[05:10] ---**
Our place and all of the others
got "administrative guidance."
**[05:13] ---**
We lost a ton of customers,
and look at this horrible apron!
**[05:18] ---**
The Akiba Ban, huh...
**[05:20] ---**
Isn't this another Bugged One plot?
**[05:23] ---**
Well, the law is a law,
so it's a national-level issue.
**[05:26] ---**
A single Bugged One
certainly shouldn't be able to...
**[05:29] ---**
Maybe a bigger force is at play!
**[05:32] ---**
We can't let them do as they like with Akiba!
**[05:35] ---**
No matter how big they are,
I'll strip them and clobber them!
**[05:39] ---**
You can't, not anymore.
**[05:41] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[05:43] ---**
Like I said...
**[05:44] ---**
If your hair color is back to normal,
that means you're a regular human now.
**[05:49] ---**
You've lost all of your superhuman powers.
**[05:53] ---**
What? Seriously?
**[05:54] ---**
Huh? Why?
**[05:56] ---**
Why is his power gone all of a sudden?
**[05:58] ---**
Tamotsu received a Transcend Providence
from my polar opposite.
**[06:03] ---**
It's like multiplying two
negative numbers. So...
**[06:11] ---**
What does that mean?
**[06:13] ---**
It's like the hard disk drive
got forcefully formatted.
**[06:16] ---**
You don't have super powers anymore,
but now you can undress without dying.
**[06:21] ---**
You can leave Akiba whenever you like, too.
**[06:24] ---**
Huh? I can go home?
**[06:26] ---**
There's no reason for you
to stay here anymore.
**[06:29] ---**
No, no, no. I can't leave Akiba like this!
**[06:33] ---**
Who knows when that
fake Mayo would attack again?!
**[06:35] ---**
I'll handle that.
**[06:37] ---**
To be honest, in your current state,
you'll weigh me down.
**[06:40] ---**
Then give me your power again!
**[06:43] ---**
If I got re-formatted,
I can just overwrite the data, right?!
**[06:46] ---**
You should consider it very fortunate
that you were able to return to being human.
**[06:50] ---**
There's no reason to go back...
**[06:52] ---**
But why not?! Just do it again!
**[06:55] ---**
I thought we were friends!
**[06:58] ---**
Moi-moi, Electric Mayonnaise has me as well!
**[07:02] ---**
I understand your worry,
Tamotsu, but for the time being,
**[07:04] ---**
leave this to me and enjoy
a relaxing home defense job!
**[07:09] ---**
That might be a good, refreshing rest!
**[07:13] ---**
Oh...
**[07:24] ---**
Miss Arisa! Please come back!
**[07:28] ---**
"Miss Arisa"?
**[07:30] ---**
What's going on?
**[07:34] ---**
We are under direct orders
from Goldrich Diamond the 13th,
**[07:36] ---**
CEO of Shangrila Trophy,
to bring you back, Miss Arisa!
**[07:43] ---**
Shangrila Trophy?
**[07:45] ---**
It's one of the largest
conglomerates in the US.
**[07:48] ---**
They say Diamond, the chairperson,
is a god of business management,
**[07:51] ---**
and anything he does, like plucking
his nose hair, can affect stock prices.
**[07:55] ---**
What does he want with Arisa...?
**[07:57] ---**
Moi... I met Mr. Diamond
when I was in the US...
**[08:03] ---**
After getting my MBA,
I was travelling freely in the US
**[08:06] ---**
to wait out my graduation day.
**[08:09] ---**
I happened to join a party full
of finance-industry types,
**[08:12] ---**
and Mr. Diamond liked the taste
of my beetles boiled with avocados.
**[08:18] ---**
He first hired me as his grandson Turquoise's
personal plastic model building tutor,
**[08:23] ---**
but before I knew it, I climbed the ranks
all the way to first external vice president.
**[08:27] ---**
None of the individual story points connect!
**[08:30] ---**
Our chairman speaks very highly
of Miss Arisa's abilities.
**[08:35] ---**
He has always said that Miss Arisa
is the best candidate for the next CEO.
**[08:39] ---**
CEO?
**[08:40] ---**
Moi, but I already told him I am not ready
to do that until I become 20 years old.
**[08:45] ---**
We sent you an email the other
day about the illness, but...
**[08:49] ---**
It's actually very serious.
**[08:51] ---**
What?!
**[08:53] ---**
The company is in chaos now
to fill the replacement position.
**[08:57] ---**
Our company, and the entire US--
no, global economy--is in peril!
**[09:02] ---**
Please save us, save the world,
by returning to the company!
**[09:08] ---**
We beg you, please!
**[09:14] ---**
I owe a huge debt to Mr. Diamond.
**[09:18] ---**
I can't turn away from a serious illness.
**[09:21] ---**
Don't worry, just leave it to me--
**[09:24] ---**
Oh...
**[09:25] ---**
I'll be fine. Not only do I still have
the professor, I used to do this all by myself.
**[09:31] ---**
Ma...
**[09:33] ---**
I will never forget you!
**[09:35] ---**
Never, never, never!
**[09:38] ---**
Arisa... Take this.
**[09:41] ---**
What...?
**[09:42] ---**
Is this...?
**[09:49] ---**
I have been all over the world,
but Akiba was the best!
**[10:09] ---**
Well, Akiba is pretty desolate now.
**[10:11] ---**
All of the interesting things are gone now.
**[10:16] ---**
I thought we were protecting
the city from the Bugged Ones.
**[10:19] ---**
I never expected this outcome.
**[10:22] ---**
We couldn't even protect
the one thing we love.
**[10:24] ---**
What was the point of everything we did?
**[10:29] ---**
Tamotsu, you battle ends here.
**[10:32] ---**
Still on that discussion?
**[10:34] ---**
Why are you so eager to get rid of me?!
**[10:37] ---**
With Arisa gone, you're all alone now!
**[10:41] ---**
You can't do this!
**[10:42] ---**
I'll be fine; I can do this alone.
**[10:45] ---**
Thanks for everything, Tamotsu.
**[10:47] ---**
You--
**[10:48] ---**
Wait! You lost your powers, what can you do?
**[10:51] ---**
Shut up! I know!
**[10:53] ---**
I know I can't do anything to help anymore!
**[10:58] ---**
I know that... But... still...
**[11:03] ---**
Now that I'm just human,
she wants to throw me out?
**[11:06] ---**
Big Bro...
**[11:07] ---**
There you are, we've been looking for you!
**[11:12] ---**
We're staging a protest!
We're protesting the Akiba Ban!
**[11:16] ---**
We've got the other vigilantes to join,
and many others, too!
**[11:20] ---**
We got Kage-san, Lord of Akiba, to help, too.
**[11:23] ---**
He had some incredible connections and
was able to bring the government officials
**[11:27] ---**
out to a town hall discussion.
**[11:30] ---**

**[11:30] ---**

You're coming, right? And Mayo?
**[11:40] ---**
Let's all fight to get Akiba back!
**[11:43] ---**
Hmm? What's wrong?
**[11:46] ---**
Right now, I'm just a failed student otaku.
**[11:49] ---**
I can't do anything. I have no powers.
**[11:52] ---**
I can't help you.
**[11:54] ---**
"Chuo Dori Vigilantes"
**[11:55] ---**
What are you talking about?
This isn't like you.
**[11:58] ---**
Good luck, guys. I'm counting on you.
**[12:01] ---**
Wh-What...
**[12:03] ---**
Later...
**[12:04] ---**
Wait... Wait! I didn't know you were so cold!
**[12:08] ---**
Hey! Tamotsu! Hey!
**[12:11] ---**
What's his problem?
**[12:12] ---**
Oh, u-um, Big Bro is a bit
seriously sick right now!
**[12:15] ---**
What?
**[12:16] ---**
H-He simultaneous contracted, uh,
influenza, Zica, and powdery mildew!
**[12:41] ---**
I got through...
**[12:57] ---**
"Big Bro's Room"
**[13:01] ---**
Big Bro, Kage-san is calling.
Don't you want to get this?
**[13:06] ---**
Hey, Big Bro!
**[13:08] ---**
Next item on the news.
**[13:10] ---**
The Akiba Ban has been received
with mixed reactions so far.
**[13:13] ---**
A discussion was held today with
the citizens who oppose this law.
**[13:17] ---**
"Akiba Ban Opinion Exchange Meeting"
**[13:18] ---**
The citizen groups proclaimed that they cannot
accept the law without proper explanations.
**[13:23] ---**
The government side brought
the minister to the meeting.
**[13:27] ---**
The minister asked for the citizens'
understanding, but no agreement was reached.
**[13:30] ---**
Opponents of the law say that
this law is much too aggressive,
**[13:33] ---**
but given how most juvenile crimes
are committed by figurine lovers--
**[13:39] ---**
Big Bro, what's going to happen to Akiba?
**[13:53] ---**
"Akihabara Purification"
**[14:01] ---**
No, stop!
**[14:15] ---**
Isn't this taking it too far?
**[14:22] ---**
There is no time to waste.
**[14:25] ---**
Everything related to Akiba
is being cast out of the cities.
**[14:29] ---**
Why won't the public
protest this abuse of power?
**[14:33] ---**
It seems like none of the TV
or online news sources are covering this.
**[14:37] ---**
It's as if they are trying to pretend
none of this is happening...
**[14:39] ---**
Is there nothing we can do...?
**[14:44] ---**
T-This is why we must work together and--
**[14:47] ---**
A little too late, don't you think?
**[14:49] ---**
When the bill was proposed,
who stood up to support us seriously?
**[14:54] ---**
It took the Festival shutdown and the
destruction of Akiba to get you on your feet.
**[15:00] ---**
Mr. Taiyo, why say those things now?
You volunteered to be on the vanguard.
**[15:05] ---**
I mean, just because we are late,
doesn't mean we have to give up.
**[15:09] ---**
It's always the ones that
persist that win in the end!
**[15:15] ---**
Yes. There must be something we can still do.
**[15:18] ---**
By the way, who are you?
**[15:20] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[15:22] ---**
We're from Studio G3. I'm Tenkawa.--
**[15:29] ---**
We must let our leader escape...
**[15:31] ---**
Kage-san! Run!
**[15:35] ---**
He's getting away! After him!
**[15:45] ---**
There you are.
**[15:47] ---**
Here I am.
**[15:51] ---**
"Akiba Festival 2017"
**[15:52] ---**
"The URL you specified could not be found."
**[15:54] ---**
I can't connect to any
Akiba-related web site.
**[15:58] ---**
Big Bro, are you sure
you just want to stay in bed?
**[16:01] ---**
Shut up.
**[16:03] ---**
Bah! How long are you going to
be like that, you incompetent?!
**[16:07] ---**
Shut up! I'm just a piece of trash now!
**[16:09] ---**
Aren't you worried about Mayo?!
**[16:16] ---**
Fine! If you're not going, I am!
**[16:20] ---**
What?! Hey! Wait!
**[16:22] ---**
Don't be reckless--
**[16:24] ---**
Hey! Pervert!
**[16:27] ---**
How is it looking in Akihabara now?
**[16:30] ---**
"Akihabara Lively Cleanup Activity"
**[16:31] ---**
Yes, the area is completely sealed off now,
**[16:35] ---**
and volunteer workers are
working hard to beautify the area.
**[16:39] ---**
I'm looking forward to
a clean and pretty Akihabara...
**[16:47] ---**
I... I...
**[16:54] ---**
Traitor!
**[16:56] ---**
Why did you leave Grandma?!
**[17:00] ---**
Grandma...
**[17:03] ---**
We have enslaved the humans,
created Bugged Ones,
**[17:08] ---**
and governed Akihabara for hundreds of years.
**[17:11] ---**
Using the Metrotica facade,
we have controlled human decision-makers
**[17:17] ---**
to maintain peace and order.
**[17:20] ---**
But you! You have betrayed
our people, and escaped!
**[17:24] ---**
I...
**[17:25] ---**
I will never forgive you!
**[17:34] ---**
Why? Why?
**[17:36] ---**
Why did you betray Grandma?!
**[17:39] ---**
Akihabara isn't just for the Hazoku!
**[17:41] ---**
It belongs to everyone... That's why!
**[17:43] ---**
Why can't you see that this "everyone"
is breaking Grandma's heart?!
**[18:06] ---**
Big Sis, do you even think about how
I felt when you left the clan?
**[18:12] ---**
How I felt about being forced to
stay in the clan, to protect Grandma?!
**[18:21] ---**
Tamotsu?!
**[18:23] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[18:25] ---**
I would have died, were
it not for my helmet...
**[18:27] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[18:28] ---**
Why did you think I wouldn't come?!
**[18:30] ---**
I'm not running anymore!
**[18:32] ---**
I'm fighting by your side, no matter what!
**[18:35] ---**
No!
**[18:37] ---**
No...
**[18:39] ---**
Akihabara is... It's not
like it used to be...
**[18:43] ---**
Grand-- I mean, Metrotica is seriously trying
to eliminate us using the government...
**[18:49] ---**
You're going to get killed!
This is not like the others that we fought!
**[18:54] ---**
No matter what power we have,
there's nothing we can do...
**[18:56] ---**
I can't let you die again--
**[19:05] ---**
Dammit! I don't believe...
**[19:08] ---**
What?! It can't be!
**[19:17] ---**
Stay out of this!
**[19:21] ---**
What?!
**[19:25] ---**
This is the way it's meant to be!
**[19:27] ---**
Leave this to me!
**[19:32] ---**
Bring it on, fake Mayo! Let's end this.
**[19:36] ---**
You... Get away...
**[19:39] ---**
Stay out of my family!
**[19:47] ---**
He's more powerful than before...
**[19:50] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:03] ---**
No!
**[20:10] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[20:13] ---**
Mayo...
**[20:15] ---**
Tamotsu...
**[20:18] ---**
H-Hey...
**[20:20] ---**
Thank you, Tamotsu...
**[20:31] ---**
Unforgivable... I will never...
**[20:36] ---**
Huh?
**[20:37] ---**
Tamotsu!
**[20:39] ---**
Huh? Arisa?
**[20:41] ---**
I'm home!
**[20:43] ---**
Hey, weren't you going to become CEO?
**[20:45] ---**
Oh, no, I turned that down, as usual.
**[20:48] ---**
What about the chairman's illness?
**[20:51] ---**
No, no.
**[20:52] ---**
It wasn't him, but his overweight pet
giant panda, Billi Billi, who was sick.
**[20:58] ---**
There was a huge battle over
who would replace him as the pet.
**[21:01] ---**
I concocted a special ultra-medical
Chinese medicine, and he's fine now.
**[21:06] ---**
They're both on a trip to Antarctica now.
**[21:09] ---**
What does that even mean?!
**[21:12] ---**
Arisa Ahokainen, returning for duty!
**[21:16] ---**
Thank you for coming back, Arisa.
**[21:18] ---**
Great! Electric Mayonnaise
is back in business!
**[21:20] ---**
Don't forget me!
**[21:22] ---**
--Niwaka!
--I'm here, too.
**[21:23] ---**
Professor?!
**[21:24] ---**
Okay, once again...
**[21:27] ---**
...Electric Mayonnaise is back in business!
**[21:29] ---**
Yay!
**[21:34] ---**
Where...? Who?
**[21:38] ---**
I didn't expect Urame to fail
to get rid of Matome...
**[21:41] ---**
Is that man the root of the problem?
**[21:45] ---**
Akihabara is ours...
**[21:48] ---**
None shall have it!
**[21:52] ---**
"Next, final episode!!"
**[22:07] ---**
To the Electric Town Exit,
on our way to Chuo Dori Ave
**[22:10] ---**
Lucky us if cars aren't allowed -
let's patrol around
**[22:13] ---**
Loud colors everywhere,
and fans of all persuasions
**[22:15] ---**
A town bewitched and blazing
with dreams and desires: AKIBA!
**[22:18] ---**
Push our way through the maids,
and dash up the Kanda Shrine stairway
**[22:21] ---**
If you're hungry hide your cell and
gulp down a beef bowl, with curry as a snack
**[22:24] ---**
Let's go around to junk shops,
searching for future gadgets
**[22:27] ---**
Are the Artliens all gone?
**[22:29] ---**
The murmuring smiling Kanda River
**[22:35] ---**
I clench my fist and vow
**[22:41] ---**
The one thing I dream of doing:
**[22:42] ---**
Be featured on an AKIBA billboard!
**[22:44] ---**
Alight with 100,000,000 penlights
**[22:46] ---**
Okay, here we go!
**[22:48] ---**
Make a name for yourself
on this crowded battlefield
**[22:51] ---**
Sometimes the carrot, sometimes the stick
**[22:53] ---**
Come ye groupies, newbies,
vets, and all-around Wotas
**[22:56] ---**
Worship your idols with the Kecak pose!
**[22:59] ---**
Hear this voice, and even if there's no
scientific basis let your soul shout at 192kHz
**[23:04] ---**
Even if you attend alone, give us the Romance
pose and we three can stand against a thousand!
**[23:26] ---**
I have an important
announcement for our fans.
**[23:27] ---**
No, stop. That's the worst line
to see on an idol's blog!
**[23:30] ---**
Akiba's Trip the Animation
has now reached its final--
**[23:32] ---**
No! Stop! Don't say anymore!
**[23:33] ---**
Tamotsu! You have to face reality!
**[23:34] ---**
Akiba's Trip the Animation! Final episode,
**[23:36] ---**
"TRIP 13 - Akiba's Last Trip"
**[23:36] ---**

**[23:38] ---**
Always, at your friendly
neighborhood Akihabara.
