**[02:00] ---**
Groups of unemployed workers, who have
grown in number due to the tax reforms
**[02:04] ---**
enacted by the former Prime Minister,
are rioting all across the country.
**[02:07] ---**
And with the confusion among members
of Parliament sparked by the comments of
**[02:11] ---**
Finance Minister Takanashi
during a recent Parliament inquiry,
**[02:14] ---**
there seems to be no compromise in sight
between the government and opposition.
**[02:19] ---**
Hey. What'll it be?
**[02:21] ---**
Give me three peanuts.
**[02:24] ---**
Let's see here...
**[02:41] ---**
We've herded those
Clown bastards onto Route 5.
**[02:46] ---**
Damn it, don't scare me like that!
Open the damn door quietly!
**[02:49] ---**
You wouldn't be so jumpy if
you didn't have something to hide!
**[02:55] ---**
Try selling some normal
drinks sometime, huh?
**[02:57] ---**
How about buying something
for once?! This ain't a hangout!
**[03:00] ---**
And drink that dog piss you sell?!
**[03:06] ---**
Twin ceramic rotor drives on each wheel...
**[03:11] ---**
And these are... Computer
controlled anti-lock brakes...
**[03:16] ---**
200 horsepower at 12,000 rpm...
**[03:22] ---**
You wanna ride it, Tetsuo?
**[03:24] ---**
All right, let's go!
**[03:29] ---**
That bike's been customized just for me.
It's too wild. You couldn't handle it.
**[03:33] ---**
I don't see how you can
ride something like that, man.
**[03:38] ---**
I could!
**[03:40] ---**
If you want one so bad,
steal a big one for yourself.
**[04:49] ---**
Unbelievable.
**[04:50] ---**
School kids these days...
**[04:53] ---**
Wait! Hey, waiter!
**[04:59] ---**
They ran into the alley! After 'em!
**[05:15] ---**
This isn't a game, you idiot!
**[05:21] ---**
Shit...!
**[06:26] ---**
That's--
**[06:28] ---**
This is car 375.
**[06:30] ---**
We've got reports of biker gangs fighting
near the intersection of Highway 14 south!
**[06:35] ---**
Request immediate assistance!
Car 375, en route to the scene!
**[06:40] ---**
It's the cops! What should we do?
**[06:42] ---**
Damn, and my motor coils
were just getting warmed up...
**[06:50] ---**
Bastards...
**[06:52] ---**
Let's go, Tetsuo!
**[06:54] ---**
Right!
**[06:55] ---**
Damn!
**[07:06] ---**
A skirmish has broken out
between student protesters
**[07:09] ---**
and riot police assigned as security.
There appear to be some casualties.
**[07:12] ---**
Furthermore--
**[07:30] ---**
What the--?
**[07:34] ---**
What the hell's going on?!
**[07:36] ---**
Move it, jerk! I'm in a hurry!
**[07:54] ---**
What was that?!
**[07:55] ---**
Call the police!
**[08:03] ---**
Repeal the tax reforms!
**[08:23] ---**
This area is off-limits!
Go back! It's dangerous!
**[08:29] ---**
Something's strange here...
**[08:30] ---**
Let me through! I'm sorry, let me through!
**[08:32] ---**
What's the big idea?
**[08:41] ---**
Look! Blood!
**[08:44] ---**
Who are they?
**[08:45] ---**
--Excuse me.
- -Hey! Don't push!
**[08:47] ---**
Excuse me.
**[08:47] ---**
Hey! Watch it, jerk!
**[08:53] ---**
Pardon me. I'm sorry.
**[08:55] ---**
Ryu!
**[08:57] ---**
Hey! He ran away!
**[09:04] ---**
He's got a gun!
**[09:11] ---**
Fire!
**[09:15] ---**
Hold your fire! There's a kid with him!
**[09:27] ---**
Run...
**[09:29] ---**
Hurry...
**[09:36] ---**
Go to Ryu...
**[09:38] ---**
Ryu will help you now...
**[09:44] ---**
Hurry... Get out of here...
**[10:19] ---**
Kei!
**[10:23] ---**
What are you doing? Hurry!
**[10:29] ---**
He vanished...!
**[10:40] ---**
He's to the west.
**[10:42] ---**
The west? He's in the old city, then.
**[10:56] ---**
Eat this!
**[11:10] ---**
Tetsuo!

"Closed: Beyond this point is
unrepaired, unrestored Old City area."

"Oppose Imperialism"
**[11:51] ---**
Ryu! Ryu, where are you?
**[11:57] ---**
Kei!
**[12:25] ---**
No, that's--!
**[12:47] ---**
How you like that?!
**[12:58] ---**
Well? Who is it?
**[13:01] ---**
It's not him! It's not Tetsuo!
**[13:04] ---**
Okay! Let's go!
**[13:10] ---**
You little... What did you do...?
**[13:28] ---**
Tetsuo! Hang on! Hey!
**[13:33] ---**
Huh? What did you say?
**[13:35] ---**
That kid...
**[13:39] ---**
He's hurt bad!
**[13:42] ---**
Hey! Wait!
**[13:46] ---**
We gotta get him to a hospital!
**[13:47] ---**
--He needs an ambulance!
--We can't move him!
**[14:00] ---**
W-What the hell?!
**[14:16] ---**
There's no escape.
**[14:24] ---**
We've come for you.
**[14:32] ---**
We can't survive on the outside.
Come on, let's go home.
**[14:40] ---**
It's the army! Those are army helicopters!
**[14:50] ---**
Move out!
**[15:02] ---**
Down on your stomachs!
Spread your arms and legs!
**[15:04] ---**
Um... We're just, uh...
**[15:07] ---**
Down on your stomachs!
Spread your arms and legs!
**[15:19] ---**
Ow... Damn it, that hurts!
**[15:21] ---**
Kai!
**[15:28] ---**
Hey!
**[15:29] ---**
Sir?
**[15:30] ---**
Who are they?
**[15:31] ---**
They seem to be an ordinary bike gang, sir.
**[15:49] ---**
We're going back.
**[15:52] ---**
Ow! Hey, wait a minute!
**[15:54] ---**
My arms don't bend that way, damn it!
**[15:56] ---**
Load the wounded onto the helicopter!
**[15:59] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[16:00] ---**
Wait! Where are you taking him?
**[16:03] ---**
Kaneda!
**[16:05] ---**
What the hell? We didn't do anything!
**[16:08] ---**
He's heavy...!

**[17:10] ---**
So you and your friends went out at night
on your bikes to visit your dying mother,
**[17:16] ---**
and a group of hooligans called
the Clowns picked a fight with you.
**[17:20] ---**
They hurt your friend,
so you lost your temper,
**[17:22] ---**
which is why eight Clown
members are now in the hospital.
**[17:26] ---**
That's your story?
**[17:29] ---**
She's cute!
**[17:31] ---**
Hey! You can't look at this!
**[17:33] ---**
And how's your mother doing?!
**[17:34] ---**
Huh? Oh.
**[17:36] ---**
Luckily, she made it
through the worst of it last night.
**[17:38] ---**
And I suppose she's made it over
the mountains on a bike by now?
**[17:48] ---**
It couldn't be these bozos.
**[17:49] ---**
You can tell that just by looking.
**[17:51] ---**
"#8 Interrogation Room"
**[17:53] ---**
Wait on that bench. Understand?
**[17:56] ---**
How much longer are
we gonna have to wait?
**[17:58] ---**
Okay! The next five, come get in here!
**[18:03] ---**
So the army's working with the police to
hunt down anti-government groups now, huh?
**[18:14] ---**
--Wanna put up a fight, huh?
--He's holding something!
**[18:20] ---**
Bastard!
**[18:24] ---**
Long live the freedom revolution!
**[18:30] ---**
He's got a grenade!
**[18:38] ---**
Crazy son of a bitch!
**[18:46] ---**
All right, that's enough! Take him away!
**[18:50] ---**
We'll really teach him a lesson later.
**[18:52] ---**
You dumb bastard! If you wanna die,
just hang yourself or something!
**[18:56] ---**
Hey! You people can go.
We've contacted your school.
**[19:01] ---**
What? You son of a--
**[19:02] ---**
Hey, hold on a minute, pops!
**[19:04] ---**
"Pops"?!
**[19:06] ---**
There was one more of us.
**[19:08] ---**
What?
**[19:09] ---**
Pardon me.
**[19:14] ---**
What're you--
**[19:16] ---**
This is her. Can she leave with us?
**[19:18] ---**
Who are you calling "Pops," you punk?
**[19:21] ---**
Ow!
**[19:22] ---**
Look here, kid! I'm only 25!
I'm not even married!
**[19:27] ---**
So watch your mouth! She can go with you!
**[19:32] ---**
Call a doctor!
**[19:35] ---**
So I think the army was chasing
that weird kid Kaneda saw...
**[19:40] ---**
I think I saw him, too.
**[19:42] ---**
And what about Tetsuo?
**[19:43] ---**
Why the hell wouldn't they
tell us what hospital he's in?
**[19:46] ---**
What did you say?!
**[19:48] ---**
I was just wondering if you wanted to
grab some tea or something over there.
**[19:51] ---**
I figured we could have a nice,
long talk about that "revolution" deal.
**[19:58] ---**
Skirt-chasers will try anything these days...
**[20:01] ---**
You'll help anyone so
long as they're a girl, won't you?
**[20:04] ---**
No way! I have high standards!
**[20:07] ---**
It's not their looks that count.
**[20:10] ---**
It's their... I dunno, their
sensitivity that moves me.
**[20:14] ---**
I suppose I owe you one.
Thank you very much, uh...
**[20:18] ---**
I'm Kaneda. Nice to meet you.
**[20:19] ---**
See you around, Kaneda.
**[20:22] ---**
You're leaving already? Don't be like that!
**[20:25] ---**
Hey, come on! I did save you and all!
**[20:34] ---**
At least tell me your name, you bitch!
**[20:39] ---**
I'll try talking with them for
the time being, but it's risky.
**[20:43] ---**
If they think you're trying to avoid taking
responsibility, it'll blow up in your face.
**[20:48] ---**
I can't believe that there's a
mole on the executive council.
**[20:52] ---**
Even if that's true...
**[20:54] ---**
That isn't important.
**[20:56] ---**
What's important is diplomacy and political
maneuvering, which you seem to despise.
**[21:00] ---**
I never studied them in school, you see.
**[21:03] ---**
In any case, at the next
executive council meeting,
**[21:06] ---**
your poor management of this last
incident will be called into question.
**[21:15] ---**
There's a phone call for the Colonel.
**[21:19] ---**
You should put your affairs in order.
**[21:25] ---**
It's me.
**[21:48] ---**
This way, Colonel.
**[21:50] ---**
I'm terribly sorry to call you here,
**[21:53] ---**
but there's something you really must see.
**[22:00] ---**
Please observe.
**[22:02] ---**
It's the special pattern from that young boy.
**[22:05] ---**
It doesn't resemble any I've seen so far,
**[22:07] ---**
and I've never seen a developmental
speed or configuration like this.
**[22:10] ---**
It may have begun with the shock of
contact with Number 26, or possibly...
**[22:15] ---**
Have you finished running a
comparison with Akira's pattern?
**[22:17] ---**
I'll superimpose it over this one.
**[22:24] ---**
This projection was constructed using
mixed data, so a comparison is difficult,
**[22:30] ---**
but I believe this boy's
pattern is the key to solving
**[22:34] ---**
the riddle of Akira's pattern growth process.
**[22:37] ---**
All right. Continue.
**[22:39] ---**
Very well, sir. Thank you.
**[22:40] ---**
I'm sure he'll turn out to be a
worthy addition to the Numbers.
**[22:45] ---**
It may be rough on him,
**[22:47] ---**
but I thought we might try
starting him off with level 7 capsules.
**[22:51] ---**
Is it safe?
**[22:52] ---**
Leave everything to me.
**[22:53] ---**
That's not what I meant!
**[22:56] ---**
I'm asking that if he turns out to
have power like Akira's like you said,
**[23:01] ---**
will we be able to control it?
**[23:04] ---**
Well, that's--
**[23:06] ---**
Can I leave this to you?
**[23:08] ---**
Well, if we use the latest examination
equipment to collect even more data
**[23:14] ---**
and do a multifaceted
analysis, then surely...
**[23:20] ---**
Maybe we shouldn't touch that power.
**[23:24] ---**
The power of God?
**[23:30] ---**
A... ki... ra...
**[23:33] ---**
But we have to. We have
to touch it and control it.
**[23:39] ---**
If it looks like it's too much for us
to handle, terminate him at once!
**[23:42] ---**
There can be no hesitation!
**[23:44] ---**
Very well, Colonel.
**[23:46] ---**
"Ward 8 Vocational Training School"
**[23:47] ---**
his school is your last chance!
**[23:50] ---**
If trash like you that can't keep up with
the academic ability of regular students
**[23:54] ---**
and can't adapt to living in a group
screw up here, it's the end of the road!
**[23:58] ---**
Even if you're under 15, if you get more
than 50 penalty points on your record,
**[24:02] ---**
you're sent to the regular courts!
**[24:05] ---**
Bite me! Don't mess with us, you bald goat!
**[24:07] ---**
Aren't any of you listening?
**[24:09] ---**
--You lost me halfway through!
--Discipline!
**[24:11] ---**
Discipline!
**[24:12] ---**
--Discipline!
- -Ow!
**[24:14] ---**
Discipline! Discipline!
**[24:17] ---**
Discipline!
**[24:18] ---**
Dismissed!
**[24:20] ---**
Thank you very much, sir!
**[24:24] ---**
You bastard! You and me are
gonna go at it someday, jack!
**[24:28] ---**
We're gonna remember this!
**[24:29] ---**
I hope you rot and die!
**[24:30] ---**
You sick bastard!
**[24:32] ---**
Shit...
**[24:39] ---**
Yamagata!
**[24:40] ---**
What happened to your cheek?
**[24:42] ---**
Shut the hell up.
**[24:44] ---**
Let me guess, Jaws from P.E.?
**[24:46] ---**
They say you fought the
Clowns on a highway in the old city!
**[24:48] ---**
Yeah.
**[24:49] ---**
Why don't you just wipe 'em out?
Those guys are so gross!
**[24:52] ---**
And last night...
**[24:54] ---**
There were demonstrators,
cops, and even the damn army!
**[24:56] ---**
And that idiot Tetsuo had an accident, too.
**[24:58] ---**
What happened to Tetsuo?
**[25:00] ---**
He's in the hospital.
I guess, but we don't know where.
**[25:02] ---**
The idiot was trying to show off.
**[25:07] ---**
That idiot...
**[25:08] ---**
What, you mean Tetsuo?
**[25:10] ---**
Shut up! I've had enough
of your damn flirting!
**[25:13] ---**
What's gotten into you?!
**[25:30] ---**
Tetsuo? It's time for your medication.
**[25:35] ---**
Doctor! There's a problem!
**[25:42] ---**
I can't. The dorm mother
throws a fit if you go out before 10.
**[25:47] ---**
Yeah, the one with the face like a goat.
**[25:49] ---**
That old bag's such a pain...
She's always yammering on and on and on.
**[25:54] ---**
Tomorrow at three? Sure, that'd be okay.
**[25:56] ---**
Hey, what happened
to that girl a while back?
**[26:00] ---**
I don't like her much.
Her personality just gets on my nerves.
**[26:04] ---**
Kaori...
**[26:07] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[26:09] ---**
Everyone's been worried about you!
They thought you might be dead.
**[26:20] ---**
When I woke up, I was on an
operating table or something.
**[26:24] ---**
And that examination...
**[26:27] ---**
It's like... they were messing
around inside my head.
**[26:31] ---**
I don't want to go back there.
**[26:34] ---**
Let's run away...
**[26:36] ---**
Where?
**[26:38] ---**
Someplace. Someplace far away.
**[26:46] ---**
--What's your problem?
--That's mine!
**[26:48] ---**
I wanna get laid!
**[26:49] ---**
Hey! Today's independent study!
**[26:51] ---**
Say what? What about
my burning desire to study?!
**[26:56] ---**
Drag his butt in here!
**[26:59] ---**
Kaneda! Your bike!
**[27:01] ---**
My bike?
**[27:04] ---**
Look!
**[27:09] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[27:12] ---**
Are you sure this is okay?
**[27:13] ---**
Shut up! Just keep quiet and hang on!
**[27:19] ---**
"Off Limits"
**[27:27] ---**
Huh?
**[27:28] ---**
What's wrong?
**[27:32] ---**
Shit!
**[27:33] ---**
Oh, no...
**[27:33] ---**
"End the Shimamoto
Labor Union's Illegal Strike!!"
**[27:34] ---**
We're stopping... We stopped.
**[27:37] ---**
Oh, okay. The engine can't drop below
5,000 even when you're changing gears.
**[27:42] ---**
--My butt hurts.
--Okay, I get it...
**[27:45] ---**
Look, bikes!
**[27:47] ---**
Is that Kaneda and...?
**[27:49] ---**
It's not them!
**[27:54] ---**
Kaori!
**[27:59] ---**
Any sign of him?
**[28:01] ---**
Kuwata and the others
went to look around Kisarazu.
**[28:03] ---**
All that's left now is the industrial area!
**[28:06] ---**
Okay, let's go!
**[28:11] ---**
We owe you for the other night!
**[28:22] ---**
Shut up!
**[28:27] ---**
Kaori! What did they do, Kaori?!
**[28:36] ---**
Don't! If you so much as scratch
that bike, I'm gonna kill you!
**[28:47] ---**
Run!
**[28:48] ---**
Don't let 'em get away!
**[28:56] ---**
Wait!
**[29:07] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[29:15] ---**
"Smash the Strike!!"
**[29:26] ---**
That's enough, Tetsuo!
Are you trying to kill him?
**[29:28] ---**
Yes! I'm gonna kill him!
I'll split his damn head open!
**[29:31] ---**
Knock it off!
**[29:33] ---**
This happened because
you took my bike for a joyride.
**[29:37] ---**
Enough, already!
**[29:38] ---**
Shut up! Don't order me around!
**[29:42] ---**
We were worried about you.
**[29:44] ---**
Why do you always have
to come and save me?
**[29:47] ---**
I could 've handled it myself!
I admit I got beat up that one time,
**[29:52] ---**
but I won't always be on the receiving end!
**[29:56] ---**
Understand?!
**[30:02] ---**
Tetsuo...
**[30:05] ---**
Shut up! Stay away from me!
**[30:09] ---**
Hey, wait! Where are you going?
**[30:13] ---**
Leave me alone!
**[30:16] ---**
Akira!
**[30:22] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[30:26] ---**
What's wrong?
**[30:28] ---**
Akira!
**[30:29] ---**
I don't know who that is!
**[30:54] ---**
Tetsuo, are you...
**[30:56] ---**
Hey!
**[31:02] ---**
This is strange.
**[31:03] ---**
I'm getting a blue pattern on scope #3!
**[31:07] ---**
Oh, no! Retrieve the subject! Hurry!
**[31:23] ---**
What're you doing to my friend?!
**[31:29] ---**
What's with you?
You just come back from a funeral?
**[31:40] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[31:42] ---**
Kaneda!
**[31:44] ---**
Shit...
**[31:55] ---**
Wait!
**[32:03] ---**
Hey, Kaneda...
**[32:17] ---**
I see we have some youngsters doing
their thing in spite of the tight checkpoints.
**[32:22] ---**
That just means that
they're stupid, don't it?
**[32:29] ---**
This is boring. Hey, let's go home.
**[32:34] ---**
But it's still early!
**[32:35] ---**
Yeah, but without their bikes
they're just skirt-chasers out of water.
**[32:39] ---**
You mean "fish"!
**[32:41] ---**
Come on, let's go. Let's
toss these fish back!
**[32:44] ---**
Hey, Kaneda, what're we gonna do?
**[32:50] ---**
What the--?
**[32:52] ---**
Look!
**[33:19] ---**
That's...
**[33:21] ---**
Here we go again... Let's get out
of here before we get involved again.
**[33:24] ---**
Huh?
**[33:26] ---**
Kaneda?
**[33:28] ---**
Hey!
**[33:30] ---**
This area is being cordoned
off due to a terrorist bombing.
**[33:34] ---**
Those who wish to get
through, line up in single file,
**[33:37] ---**
present your ID and go
through the checkpoint.
**[33:50] ---**
Get in.
**[33:52] ---**
What's wrong? Hurry. I'll
be right behind you.
**[33:56] ---**
You know the rendezvous point, right?
**[33:59] ---**
--Be careful.
- -You too, Ryu.
**[34:09] ---**
"We're the Clowns"
**[34:15] ---**
Stop! Stop, damn it!
**[34:20] ---**
She's got a gun!
**[34:33] ---**
Okay, that's far enough!
**[34:35] ---**
Drop the gun!
**[34:44] ---**
Drop it now!
**[34:51] ---**
Stop!
**[35:06] ---**
I think it came from over here!
**[35:08] ---**
--There were two shots!
--No, three!
**[35:10] ---**
It's just up ahead!
**[35:12] ---**
Hey. Let's get out of here.
**[35:15] ---**
Come on!
**[35:44] ---**
"Idiot | Moron | Fool | No. 1"
**[36:22] ---**
Kaneda!
**[36:50] ---**
So, what's the matter?
Try telling me about it.
**[36:54] ---**
I had a dream.
**[36:56] ---**
A dream?
**[37:00] ---**
The city will be covered by a
dark shadow and start to crumble.
**[37:05] ---**
Lots of people died...
**[37:07] ---**
...and we met Akira again.
**[37:12] ---**
Akira?!
**[37:13] ---**
The city will crumble,
and so many people will die...
**[37:20] ---**
When?! When will it happen, Kiyoko?!
**[37:24] ---**
You mustn't let that boy go.
**[37:27] ---**
His power, it...
**[37:37] ---**
What did she mean?!
**[37:38] ---**
Well, there's nothing
physically wrong with her.
**[37:44] ---**
Her medication is normal. too.
**[37:45] ---**
There's no sign of any abnormalities
in her ECG or EEG, either.
**[37:50] ---**
I think what Number 25 said
was her precognitive power at work.
**[37:56] ---**
This must be presented to the
supreme executive council for inquiry, but...
**[38:01] ---**
Do you believe her?
**[38:03] ---**
I have no doubts
regarding Number 25's abilities.
**[38:05] ---**
We have all sorts of data
that substantiate her abilities.
**[38:08] ---**
What about you, Colonel?
**[38:11] ---**
My job isn't to believe or disbelieve.
It's to act or not to act.
**[38:28] ---**
Here, sir.
**[38:29] ---**
Cold gear, Colonel.
Please put it on. You, too, Doctor.
**[38:44] ---**
The other day, a young
researcher asked me something.
**[38:49] ---**
He wondered if their power was the form
the next stage of human evolution was taking,
**[38:53] ---**
and perhaps that we'll all
be able to control it someday.
**[38:59] ---**
Scientists are a bunch of romantics.
**[39:02] ---**
Military men always consider the risks first.
**[39:05] ---**
It's taken thirty long years.
**[39:08] ---**
We've come so far from the rubble.
**[39:12] ---**
We can't just trade one for the other.
**[39:14] ---**
I've always thought that
you hated this city, Colonel.
**[39:19] ---**
The passion to build has cooled
and the joy of reconstruction forgotten,
**[39:24] ---**
and now it's just a garbage heap
made up of hedonistic fools.
**[39:28] ---**
So you're trying to save the city, then.
**[39:32] ---**
It's how a soldier thinks.
A scientist wouldn't understand.
**[39:39] ---**
Colonel, we're here.
**[39:41] ---**
This way, sir.
**[40:03] ---**
Room 10, 148 degrees Kelvin.
**[40:07] ---**
Fluctuation tolerance range, check.
**[40:09] ---**
Room 9, 118 degrees Kelvin.
Fluctuation tolerance, check.
**[40:14] ---**
Emergency power generator, check.
**[40:17] ---**
Open it.
**[40:18] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[40:20] ---**
Uh...
**[40:20] ---**
Go to the Control Room!
**[40:21] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[40:39] ---**
Room 1 is at 0.0005 degrees Kelvin.
It's within tolerances.
**[40:45] ---**
No abnormalities detected in any of the
rooms' Dewar Walls or in the defense system.
**[40:51] ---**
No abnormal atmospheric
concentrations or reactions recorded.
**[40:54] ---**
All systems nominal, then?
**[41:06] ---**
Look at what they abandoned
in their panic. They were afraid!
**[41:10] ---**
They were too scared,
so they hid it away from the public.
**[41:12] ---**
They forgot all shame and honor
**[41:14] ---**
and cast off the civilization
and science we had created,
**[41:19] ---**
and shut the lid of the Pandora's Box
they themselves had opened.
**[41:28] ---**
Ryu!
**[41:29] ---**
Hey, we're still young.
**[41:31] ---**
I think we can start over.
**[41:34] ---**
I'll go with you to the police.
**[41:35] ---**
Ryu!
**[41:36] ---**
Come on, turn yourself in!
**[41:38] ---**
That was the first time you
ever killed somebody, right?
**[41:40] ---**
Ryu!
**[41:41] ---**
Anyway, once you've
purified your body and soul,
**[41:44] ---**
let's go out for tea or something.
**[41:46] ---**
Don't kick yourself over it, okay?
**[41:48] ---**
What's done is done. The guy's dead.
**[41:59] ---**
Who're you?!
**[42:02] ---**
Ryu! You're okay!
**[42:04] ---**
--Kei, is that you?
- -Ryu!
**[42:07] ---**
Who's this?
**[42:09] ---**
Who, me?
**[42:11] ---**
Well, I guess saying I'm Kei's
boyfriend might be stretching it a bit.
**[42:17] ---**
But we haven't gotten physical
or anything yet, understand?
**[42:21] ---**
--Are you a spy?!
- -No!
**[42:22] ---**
Liar!
**[42:28] ---**
Is he really okay?
**[42:29] ---**
All I know for sure is that he's not a spy.
**[42:33] ---**
Ow...
**[42:36] ---**
Sneak into their lab?!
**[42:38] ---**
Are you serious? Don't you
remember the fiasco with that kid?!
**[42:41] ---**
Last-minute orders.
Besides, the plan's already in place.
**[42:48] ---**
The lab passes they issue once a week...
**[42:51] ---**
They're from Mr. Nezu?
**[42:53] ---**
What's the objective?
**[42:54] ---**
Detailed data on the new subject.
**[42:57] ---**
New subject?
**[42:59] ---**
Yes. Last week, on the night we tried
to abduct the subject called Number 26,
**[43:06] ---**
a boy who was in an accident on an
old city highway was brought to the lab.
**[43:11] ---**
Looks like he's a student
at a vocational training school.
**[43:13] ---**
but he's now their new subject
for human experimentation.
**[43:20] ---**
Ow!
**[43:22] ---**
Ow! What's the big idea?!
**[43:25] ---**
You!
**[43:26] ---**
He heard us! Let's kill him!
**[43:28] ---**
Ryu!
**[43:29] ---**
W-Wait a minute! Listen to me!
Listen to what I have to say!
**[43:33] ---**
He saved me!
**[43:34] ---**
Twice!
**[43:35] ---**
Maybe it was just to get close to us.
**[43:37] ---**
The guy who was in that accident
in the old city is a friend of mine!
**[43:41] ---**
I know it's hard to believe,
but it's the truth!
**[43:44] ---**
I was there when it happened!
**[43:47] ---**
Don't they say the only foolish
questions are unasked ones?
**[43:51] ---**
Huh? They don't?
**[43:55] ---**
That's an intriguing story.
**[43:58] ---**
Will you be taking the boy with you?
**[44:01] ---**
He knows the subject, and I think
we can use him as a decoy if necessary.
**[44:06] ---**
Neo Tokyo is going to change.
**[44:10] ---**
In all respects, this city is
saturated. It's like an overripe fruit.
**[44:15] ---**
And within it is a new seed.
**[44:18] ---**
We only need to wait for
the wind which will make it fall.
**[44:22] ---**
The wind called Akira!
**[44:25] ---**
Ryu, look!
**[44:29] ---**
What is it?
**[44:30] ---**
We aren't the ones who will change it,
**[44:33] ---**
but rather, those citizens
who hope for Akira will.
**[44:37] ---**
That which is called
science perverts providence!
**[44:41] ---**
That which is called progress
encourages extravagance!
**[44:43] ---**
"The Day of Awakening is
Near!" "Pamphlets 500 yen"
**[44:44] ---**
That which is called civilization
devastates the spirit of man!
**[44:46] ---**
That which is called civilization
devastates the spirit of man!
**[44:49] ---**
The time of atonement is upon us!
**[44:53] ---**
The time of his awakening is nigh!
**[44:53] ---**
"Lord Akira the Enlightened"
The time of his awakening is nigh!
**[44:55] ---**
The time of Lord Akira's
awakening draws near!
**[44:58] ---**
--Are your hearts prepared?!
--All right, break it up!
**[45:02] ---**
Holding meetings here is prohibited!
**[45:04] ---**
Break up this illegal gathering!
**[45:07] ---**
Terrorist activities carried out by
**[45:09] ---**
anti-government elements
have skyrocketed this month.
**[45:13] ---**
The army, riot police, and even
traffic police have been fully mobilized.
**[45:17] ---**
The overtime costs alone have
used up the public safety budget.
**[45:21] ---**
And then there's the abduction of Number 26!
**[45:23] ---**
Isn't their existence supposed
to be highest of state secrets?
**[45:26] ---**
No one's ever heard of "Peace
and Order" here in Neo Tokyo, then?
**[45:30] ---**
And then there's this request of yours
**[45:34] ---**
for further funding because
of subject Number 25's prediction.
**[45:39] ---**
You must be joking!
**[45:40] ---**
We Parliament members have been
begging the public to bear with us
**[45:45] ---**
while we straighten out the former
Prime Minister's historic tax reform blunders,
**[45:51] ---**
so where, exactly, are we
supposed to get that kind of money?!
**[45:54] ---**
You've spent a fortune, and all we have to
show for it is that grotesque kindergarten!
**[45:59] ---**
The Olympics are next year.
The postwar period is over.
**[46:01] ---**
How much longer will you keep
spending money on some ghost?!
**[46:05] ---**
I always said that we should've put
that money into the welfare program!
**[46:08] ---**
Shut up, old man!
**[46:09] ---**
What?!
**[46:10] ---**
That power is starting to
walk around free as we speak.
**[46:14] ---**
--Unless we control it now, we'll lose everything!
--Who do you think you're talking to, youngster?
**[46:20] ---**
It was your lack of policy that
started this mess in the first place!
**[46:23] ---**
There's still no proof that the
last World War was caused by Akira!
**[46:27] ---**
Won't you even try to
understand anything at all
**[46:32] ---**
unless an Akira disaster actually happens?!
**[46:34] ---**
Has anyone actually seen this "Akira"?
**[46:36] ---**
Wasn't Akira Number 25?
**[46:38] ---**
No, I think he was Number 21...
**[46:41] ---**
The Colonel has lost
sight of his duty as a soldier.
**[46:45] ---**
I've had reports that
anti-government elements are using
**[46:47] ---**
this "Akira" madness of yours as an
excuse to whip up their terrorist fervor!
**[46:53] ---**
No! That's untrue!
**[46:55] ---**
Then what about that
Akira world renewal movement?
**[46:58] ---**
Wouldn't you say that
information's being leaked?
**[47:00] ---**
World renewal movement?
End of the world, more like!
**[47:03] ---**
Aren't you just using Akira as
camouflage to cover up your misconduct?
**[47:07] ---**
What are you getting at?
**[47:09] ---**
Colonel, we can no longer leave the
peace of Neo Tokyo to your sole discretion.
**[47:18] ---**
Right!
**[47:19] ---**
You are to be put before
an inquiry committee.
**[47:22] ---**
I agree!
**[47:27] ---**
Excuse me!
**[47:29] ---**
Colonel! Colonel, where are you--
**[47:31] ---**
Wait! This discussion isn't over yet!
**[47:34] ---**
Explain yourself!
**[47:35] ---**
Are you trying to insult the
supreme executive council?!
**[47:38] ---**
Colonel...!
**[47:39] ---**
Wait, Colonel!
**[48:03] ---**
W-Water...
**[48:37] ---**
Hey, wait a minute...
**[48:40] ---**
Isn't that cable replacement
scheduled for next week?
**[48:43] ---**
The cable they ordered came in early.
**[48:47] ---**
Besides, I'm going on vacation
at the end of the week.
**[48:51] ---**
I've brought some workers with me, too.
**[48:55] ---**
I could take it back, but the
work's gonna be done sooner or later.
**[49:04] ---**
Okay, let's go.
**[50:36] ---**
What the--?
**[51:07] ---**
Milk?
**[51:17] ---**
Stay away!
**[51:31] ---**
Blood!
**[51:32] ---**
I'm scared!
**[51:42] ---**
Jerk!
**[51:44] ---**
W-Who the hell are they?
**[52:42] ---**
Room 887, Tetsuo Shima...
**[52:46] ---**
A problem with the automatic lock?
**[52:53] ---**
Hey! You can't just walk off from your room!
**[53:01] ---**
Come on, let's go back.
**[53:03] ---**
What the hell happened? What a mess!
**[53:28] ---**
There are 58 blocks with circuits
that the computer won't display.
**[53:32] ---**
Of those, nearly 40 are concentrated
on underground levels 7 and 8.
**[53:37] ---**
That's probably the place.
**[53:40] ---**
The central wiring shaft should be up ahead.
**[53:43] ---**
We should be able to use it
to go straight to the sublevels.
**[53:47] ---**
Be careful. it's deeper in the middle.
**[53:50] ---**
What a stink!
**[53:52] ---**
Quiet!
**[53:53] ---**
What? I said it stinks because it stinks!
**[53:56] ---**
--Is your nose busted?
--Hurry up and stay quiet!
**[54:00] ---**
Damn! Hide!
**[54:03] ---**
Huh? Where?
**[54:05] ---**
What're you doing, you idiot?!
**[54:20] ---**
They left?
**[54:22] ---**
Looks like they've beefed up security.
**[54:24] ---**
Must be that siren we heard.
**[54:26] ---**
What should we do? Scout around some?
**[54:27] ---**
No.
**[54:29] ---**
--Are you okay?
--Let's keep going.
**[54:30] ---**
I want to check out their
security at the very least.
**[54:32] ---**
All right.
**[54:33] ---**
We've been spotted! Run!
**[54:36] ---**
Shit!
**[54:38] ---**
Don't! Don't shoot!
**[54:43] ---**
Shimazaki! Shit!
**[54:47] ---**
Forget about him! Run!
**[54:53] ---**
What the hell is that?
**[54:56] ---**
Here it comes!
**[54:58] ---**
Forget it! You can't do any good!
**[55:05] ---**
Die!
**[55:08] ---**
This is Unit 304, Shaft H!
**[55:09] ---**
I have encountered intruders
and am engaging! Request backup!
**[55:14] ---**
Here it comes!
**[55:41] ---**
Kei!
**[55:45] ---**
Where's that gun?!
**[55:47] ---**
Damn it...!
**[55:51] ---**
Kaneda!
**[56:03] ---**
Kei, this way!
**[56:06] ---**
Hurry!
**[56:09] ---**
Kaneda, hurry!
**[56:26] ---**
Kaneda!
**[56:41] ---**
The brakes! Where are the brakes?!
**[56:43] ---**
That's not it?
**[56:44] ---**
This is the central wiring shaft!
**[56:46] ---**
It's gotta be this one, then!
**[56:54] ---**
Okay, I'm getting the hang of this!
**[56:57] ---**
Ask the Colonel for clearance to fire!
**[56:59] ---**
Turn that up!
**[57:01] ---**
There must be some mistake.
**[57:03] ---**
That boy looks like the
patient they admitted to the lab.
**[57:06] ---**
The boy, the subject named
Tetsuo Shima, broke out of his room.
**[57:09] ---**
I think he's headed for the Baby Room.
**[57:11] ---**
Tetsuo?!
**[57:12] ---**
He is in an extremely dangerous
state! Don't let him through!
**[57:15] ---**
I repeat, do not let him through!
**[57:46] ---**
What the--?
**[57:55] ---**
It's no use hiding.
**[57:56] ---**
We have no choice, then. Use your guns!
**[57:59] ---**
We can't let him go any
farther, no matter what it takes!
**[58:03] ---**
Fire!
**[58:44] ---**
So, here you are...
**[58:52] ---**
Stop it!
**[58:55] ---**
How long are you
gonna keep playing around?!
**[59:05] ---**
Where'd the other one go?
**[59:08] ---**
Why, you...
**[59:11] ---**
Die!
**[59:15] ---**
Takashi!
**[59:27] ---**
What the hell is going on?
Am I dreaming or something?
**[59:32] ---**
I never knew I had powers like this!
**[59:43] ---**
Damn it, which way should I go?!
**[59:45] ---**
Straight. Straight ahead...
**[59:49] ---**
Huh?
**[59:50] ---**
There's a freight elevator.
**[59:54] ---**
We can take it to sublevel 8.
**[1:00:05] ---**
Good, you're all together.
**[1:00:09] ---**
You thought you could kill me?
**[1:00:13] ---**
You tried to mess with me...
I'm gonna kill you!
**[1:00:23] ---**
That was you--
**[1:00:25] ---**
Takashi!
**[1:00:27] ---**
Attack him together!
**[1:00:29] ---**
O-Okay.
**[1:00:35] ---**
You little twerps!
**[1:00:54] ---**
That's enough! All of you!
**[1:01:04] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[1:01:09] ---**
What's the matter?
Does your head hurt, Tetsuo Shima?
**[1:01:12] ---**
Your power isn't fully matured.
**[1:01:14] ---**
If you push yourself,
you might do irreparable damage.
**[1:01:17] ---**
Just do as we tell you.
**[1:01:19] ---**
What the hell did you people do to my head?!
**[1:01:32] ---**
Calm yourself, Tetsuo Shima!
**[1:01:34] ---**
He can't control it.
**[1:01:41] ---**
What?!
**[1:01:43] ---**
She said that big people like you
should never use the power like that.
**[1:01:48] ---**
She says something horrible will happen.
**[1:01:51] ---**
Mind your own business.
**[1:01:55] ---**
What? More powerful than me?
**[1:02:01] ---**
He's the one! He's been popping
in and out of my head lately!
**[1:02:06] ---**
Where is he?! Where's this "Akira"?!
**[1:02:09] ---**
What?!
**[1:02:10] ---**
Kiyoko said that you'll awaken Akira.
**[1:02:14] ---**
If that happens, no one
will be able to stop him.
**[1:02:17] ---**
So before that can happen,
we have to stop you.
**[1:02:19] ---**
Impossible! Akira's already--
**[1:02:21] ---**
Where is he?!
**[1:02:25] ---**
Stop it!
**[1:02:26] ---**
Shut up!
**[1:02:33] ---**
Threat level to facility
integrity has passed level 7.
**[1:02:37] ---**
Enacting disaster protocols.
**[1:02:41] ---**
Threat level to facility
integrity has passed level 7.
**[1:02:45] ---**
Enacting disaster protocols.
**[1:02:48] ---**
What the--?!
**[1:02:57] ---**
Hands up!
**[1:03:02] ---**
Where the hell is the "Baby Room"?!
**[1:03:16] ---**
Oh, no! Run!
**[1:03:22] ---**
Gangway, coming through! Coming through!
**[1:03:25] ---**
Damn it, move!
**[1:03:28] ---**
Kiyoko...
**[1:03:50] ---**
Damn, that hurt...
**[1:03:51] ---**
Kaneda? What're you doing here?
**[1:03:58] ---**
Tetsuo! Are you okay?
I'm here to rescue you!
**[1:04:03] ---**
Hurry up, you moron! If we don't get
out of here, those guys outside are gonna--
**[1:04:09] ---**
There he is! Catch him!
**[1:04:14] ---**
Stay away from me!
**[1:04:20] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:04:24] ---**
Oh, right. I forgot you were there, Kaneda.
**[1:04:28] ---**
That's okay, Kaneda.
**[1:04:30] ---**
I won't be needing you to save me anymore.
**[1:04:35] ---**
From now on, I'll be saving you.
**[1:04:38] ---**
All you have to do is ask, Kanny.
**[1:04:41] ---**
Say what? Who the hell do
you think you're talking to?!
**[1:04:47] ---**
You don't like the way I talk?
**[1:04:50] ---**
Does it make you mad?
**[1:04:51] ---**
Well, what're you gonna do about it?!
**[1:04:53] ---**
Huh, Kaneda?! What're
you gonna do about it?!
**[1:05:06] ---**
That's enough! Don't hurt anyone else!
**[1:05:13] ---**
Where's this "Akira" guy?!
**[1:05:16] ---**
He...
**[1:05:18] ---**
The Olympic stadium...?
In an underground facility?
**[1:05:21] ---**
No! You're wrong! Akira is--
**[1:05:27] ---**
Wait!
**[1:05:38] ---**
What the hell? I can do this, too?!
**[1:05:48] ---**
Kiyoko, are you okay?
**[1:05:50] ---**
It doesn't look like she's hurt.
**[1:05:52] ---**
What about you, Masaru? You're bleeding.
**[1:05:55] ---**
What happened to him?
**[1:05:57] ---**
He flew away.
**[1:05:59] ---**
How can he have so much power...?
**[1:06:03] ---**
How could this have
happened? Is anyone here?
**[1:06:07] ---**
He's developed so much
power in such a short time...
**[1:06:11] ---**
Find him! Find Tetsuo!
**[1:06:13] ---**
--Find him! Go after him!
--Kaneda! Hang on, Kaneda!
**[1:06:17] ---**
Hurry up! Get that rubble cleared!
**[1:06:22] ---**
He went to where Akira is.
**[1:06:24] ---**
What? You're all safe!
**[1:06:28] ---**
He's heading for the facility
below the Olympic construction site.
**[1:06:32] ---**
How did Tetsuo find out about that?!
**[1:06:37] ---**
You mean he's gone outside?
**[1:06:43] ---**
Damn it! We'll follow
him! Prepare for pursuit!
**[1:06:47] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--He's heading west!
**[1:06:48] ---**
He's heading for the
Olympic construction site!
**[1:06:51] ---**
Tell them to beef up their security!
**[1:06:54] ---**
--You...!
--Set up checkpoints on all...
**[1:07:02] ---**
According to the defense team, intruders
were encountered in the wiring shaft.
**[1:07:07] ---**
--Two disguised as workers resisted
**[1:07:09] ---**
--He has to be stopped before his powers mature...
--and were shot, and the rest are at large.
**[1:07:14] ---**
Your objective is the boy Tetsuo Shima.
**[1:07:17] ---**
If we are unable to capture him, you will
lure him out to the old city and attack.
**[1:07:20] ---**
Request assistance from
the Eastern District Battalion.
**[1:07:23] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:07:23] ---**
Tell them there isn't a moment to lose!
**[1:07:28] ---**
I've been waiting for you, Colonel.
**[1:07:31] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[1:07:34] ---**
I'm here to inform you of the
supreme executive council's decision.
**[1:07:40] ---**
At 2400 hours today, the Colonel is
hereby stripped of his command and rank,
**[1:07:45] ---**
and will be placed under arrest.
**[1:07:47] ---**
What?!
**[1:07:49] ---**
Please come with us.
**[1:07:52] ---**
You expect me to hand Neo Tokyo
over to those fools at a time like this?
**[1:07:59] ---**
--Shoot him.
- -Yes, sir!
**[1:08:00] ---**
What?
**[1:08:02] ---**
W-Wait!
**[1:08:05] ---**
Enough! Open your eyes
and look at the big picture!
**[1:08:09] ---**
We can't dance to the tune of
corrupt politicians and capitalists!
**[1:08:17] ---**
Don't you understand?!
It's pointless to fight anymore!
**[1:08:24] ---**
Announce a state of emergency,
arrest all members of the executive council
**[1:08:29] ---**
and remove them from
the chain of command!
**[1:08:32] ---**
We're going after Tetsuo!
**[1:08:34] ---**
Urgent message to all
district battalion commanders!
**[1:08:43] ---**
"Haruki-ya"
**[1:08:47] ---**
Hey, what's up? You by yourself?
**[1:08:53] ---**
Weren't you in an accident or something?
**[1:08:56] ---**
Everybody's been worried.
So, you feeling better?
**[1:08:59] ---**
Gimme some... capsules.
**[1:09:03] ---**
Hey, are you sure about that?
You don't look so hot.
**[1:09:07] ---**
Just hand 'em over!
**[1:09:10] ---**
All right, if you say so.
**[1:09:12] ---**
But with all those demonstrations and
terrorist attacks lately, things are rough.
**[1:09:17] ---**
They're hard to come by,
so they're pretty expensive.
**[1:09:27] ---**
Tetsuo's run off, Kaneda's disappeared...
I guess the team's finished.
**[1:09:31] ---**
And the checkpoints are so strict,
even the Clowns are staying put.
**[1:09:46] ---**
What's wrong?
**[1:09:48] ---**
"This End Up"
**[1:09:51] ---**
He's dead!
**[1:09:52] ---**
What?!
**[1:09:56] ---**
What the--?
**[1:10:03] ---**
Tetsuo?
**[1:10:04] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[1:10:09] ---**
You want some, too?
**[1:10:12] ---**
What are you talking about, damn it?!
What the hell happened here?!
**[1:10:15] ---**
The barkeep's dead!
**[1:10:21] ---**
A fish out of water dies, huh?
**[1:10:24] ---**
You are Tetsuo... Aren't you?
**[1:10:30] ---**
Kaneda sends his regards.
**[1:10:32] ---**
You saw Kaneda?!
**[1:10:34] ---**
He's probably dead by now...
**[1:10:40] ---**
You did this, Tetsuo?
**[1:10:43] ---**
So anyway... Where's Kaneda's bike?
**[1:10:48] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:10:50] ---**
I don't need a piece of
junk like that anymore...
**[1:10:52] ---**
You son of a...
**[1:10:59] ---**
Yamagata!
**[1:11:07] ---**
Shit...
**[1:11:16] ---**
He went to where Akira is?
**[1:11:18] ---**
That's what that girl said.
**[1:11:20] ---**
The army, you, and Ryu are
all looking for this "Akira" guy,
**[1:11:25] ---**
so that's why you're chasing after Tetsuo.
**[1:11:27] ---**
It has something to do with
that power of Tetsuo's, right?
**[1:11:31] ---**
What the hell is this "Akira"
thing you keep talking about?
**[1:11:36] ---**
Ryu told me about it once.
He said that Akira is absolute energy.
**[1:11:41] ---**
Absolute energy?
**[1:11:44] ---**
Humans do all kinds of
things during their lifetime, right?
**[1:11:48] ---**
Discovering things, building things...
**[1:11:52] ---**
Things like houses, motorcycles,
bridges, cities, and rockets...
**[1:12:00] ---**
All that knowledge and energy...
Where do you suppose it comes from?
**[1:12:05] ---**
Humans were like monkeys once, right?
**[1:12:09] ---**
And before that, like reptiles and fish.
**[1:12:13] ---**
And before that, plankton and amoebas.
**[1:12:17] ---**
Even creatures like those have
incredible energy inside them.
**[1:12:21] ---**
Because of genes, I guess.
**[1:12:24] ---**
And even before that, maybe
there were genes in the water and air.
**[1:12:30] ---**
Even in space dust, too, I bet.
**[1:12:32] ---**
If that's true, what
memories are hidden in it?
**[1:12:37] ---**
The beginning of the universe, maybe.
Or maybe even before that.
**[1:12:41] ---**
Hey, what's the matter? Are you okay?
**[1:12:45] ---**
Did you get hit on the head back there?
**[1:12:47] ---**
Maybe everyone has those memories.
**[1:12:51] ---**
What if there were some mistake
and the progression went wrong,
**[1:12:54] ---**
and something like an amoeba
were given power like a human's?
**[1:13:00] ---**
That's what Akira is?
**[1:13:03] ---**
Amoebas don't build houses and bridges.
**[1:13:06] ---**
They just devour all the food around them.
**[1:13:09] ---**
That's what Tetsuo's doing?
You're saying he has that kind of energy?!
**[1:13:14] ---**
A long time ago, there were people
who tried to control that power.
**[1:13:18] ---**
At the government's request, you see.
**[1:13:21] ---**
They failed, and it triggered
the Fall of Tokyo.
**[1:13:26] ---**
That power is still too much for--
**[1:13:33] ---**
What?!
**[1:13:34] ---**
The door's unlocked.
**[1:13:39] ---**
Huh?
**[1:13:46] ---**
This has got to be a trap.
**[1:13:49] ---**
Go back, then.
**[1:13:50] ---**
No, we ought to find out
how much of it is a trap...
**[1:13:56] ---**
By the way, what's
with you and that Ryu guy?
**[1:14:01] ---**
--What do you mean?
--You're always together.
**[1:14:03] ---**
That's none of your business!
**[1:14:06] ---**
What I'm saying is, he doesn't
know about us, does he?
**[1:14:11] ---**
"Us"?
**[1:14:12] ---**
Hey, wait a minute!
What's that supposed to mean?
**[1:14:15] ---**
Do you think this will work?
**[1:14:17] ---**
It can't be helped. At this point,
our only option is to use her.
**[1:14:23] ---**
The fact that she turned up right
under our noses says as much, I think.
**[1:14:30] ---**
I guess...
**[1:14:45] ---**
Have arrived at Ward 13,
East Ginza intersection. Over.
**[1:14:50] ---**
Northern District battalion has not
responded to mobilization request.
**[1:14:53] ---**
Special search team to HQ!
Special search team to HQ!
**[1:14:56] ---**
We're at the Haruki-ya snack bar
near the highway interchange in Ward 8.
**[1:15:00] ---**
It doesn't look like a bomb
explosion, so we think it was him.
**[1:15:06] ---**
It was almost certainly the work of
the subject that escaped from the lab.
**[1:15:10] ---**
Yes, sir! Yes, sir! Understood!
**[1:15:19] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:15:22] ---**
What?! Yamagata's dead?!
**[1:15:24] ---**
Something seemed strange
about him from the second I saw him.
**[1:15:27] ---**
He was wearing what looked
like a white hospital gown.
**[1:15:30] ---**
It was like he was a different person.
**[1:15:33] ---**
Yamagata asked him
if he was really Tetsuo.
**[1:15:38] ---**
And then... Yamagata, he...
**[1:15:45] ---**
We've always been together.
**[1:15:48] ---**
I've known everything about him
**[1:15:52] ---**
since we were in the children's home.
**[1:15:54] ---**
He was a klutz, and
everybody made him cry.
**[1:15:59] ---**
Oh, right... He wanted to
know where your bike was.
**[1:16:04] ---**
My bike...?
**[1:16:14] ---**
What're you gonna do?
**[1:16:17] ---**
I'm gonna send Yamagata his bike.
**[1:16:24] ---**
You dumb bastard!
**[1:16:29] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:16:47] ---**
Kei!
**[1:16:49] ---**
What's wrong?
**[1:16:54] ---**
You! You were there that night...
**[1:17:01] ---**
Wait!
**[1:17:08] ---**
Kei!
**[1:17:13] ---**
They disappeared!
**[1:17:16] ---**
You were the ones who
changed Tetsuo too, weren't you?
**[1:17:20] ---**
Akira's power exists within everyone.
**[1:17:24] ---**
Who's there?!
**[1:17:27] ---**
But when that power is awakened,
even if you weren't prepared for it,
**[1:17:34] ---**
you must choose how to use it.
**[1:17:39] ---**
And he has made his choice.
**[1:17:44] ---**
Tetsuo is our newest companion.
**[1:17:49] ---**
We're partly to blame for his actions.
**[1:17:53] ---**
Why did you take Kei, then?!
**[1:17:57] ---**
We want her to help us.
**[1:17:59] ---**
You can't just use people
like that! Bring Kei back!
**[1:18:03] ---**
Tetsuo's our friend! If anyone's
gonna kill him, it should be us!
**[1:18:10] ---**
Hey!
**[1:18:12] ---**
Damn it!
**[1:18:14] ---**
Mr. Omi and the other executives
have been arrested by the coup...?
**[1:18:18] ---**
Y-Yes, that's right.
**[1:18:19] ---**
The house guards are
fighting them right now.
**[1:18:22] ---**
Yes.
**[1:18:23] ---**
I'd like to have a helicopter
waiting at West Haneda.
**[1:18:26] ---**
Yes.
**[1:18:28] ---**
That damned Colonel...
I can't believe he's taken up arms.
**[1:18:34] ---**
I underestimated him.
**[1:18:40] ---**
Hold them here! Damn!
**[1:19:13] ---**
Mr. Nezu...
**[1:19:15] ---**
R-Ryu?! Is that you?
**[1:19:18] ---**
I'm sorry, sir...
**[1:19:20] ---**
The mission was a failure.
**[1:19:23] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[1:19:24] ---**
I've told you, you can't be seen here!
**[1:19:28] ---**
All of my men...
**[1:19:30] ---**
They've all been killed.
**[1:19:32] ---**
Y-You sold me out,
didn't you, you bastard?!
**[1:19:36] ---**
What? You can't be--
**[1:19:41] ---**
Kei...
**[1:19:48] ---**
I got fresh fish in here, buddy!
I'm gonna get compensated for 'em, right?
**[1:19:51] ---**
Please, I have to catch a flight at noon!
**[1:19:55] ---**
What?
**[1:19:57] ---**
7th Avenue is just ahead!
**[1:19:59] ---**
It intersects this road 100 meters from here!
**[1:20:05] ---**
Prepare for battle!
**[1:20:16] ---**
Right, we've spotted the subject.
**[1:20:19] ---**
What? Attack?!
**[1:20:22] ---**
But he's just a... We're attacking a boy?!
**[1:20:30] ---**
Look! There he is!
**[1:20:31] ---**
Impossible!
**[1:20:32] ---**
Is this for real?
**[1:20:41] ---**
"Samurai Spirit"
**[1:20:45] ---**
Firing preparations complete.
**[1:20:49] ---**
Damn it! Fire!
**[1:21:05] ---**
--Akira!
- -It's Lord Akira!
**[1:21:07] ---**
It's the advent of Lord Akira!
**[1:21:10] ---**
That's not him! Don't be fooled!
**[1:21:11] ---**
That's not Lord Akira!
**[1:21:13] ---**
Shut up!
**[1:21:15] ---**
Long live Lord Akira!
**[1:21:18] ---**
Fire!
**[1:21:20] ---**
Huh?
**[1:21:22] ---**
What's wrong?
**[1:22:50] ---**
Neo Tokyo Broadcasting is
exclusively covering the news
**[1:22:53] ---**
in spite of martial law in the
name of freedom of the press!
**[1:22:56] ---**
What in the world is
happening here in Neo Tokyo?
**[1:23:00] ---**
What you see here seems to
be fires caused by tank cannons.
**[1:23:03] ---**
But who is this young boy?
**[1:23:06] ---**
Is he fighting the coup
forces all by himself?
**[1:23:09] ---**
Viewers, the army has just
illegally ordered us to land!
**[1:23:16] ---**
Freedom of the press is now in jeopardy!
**[1:23:18] ---**
What happened? Were they cut off?
**[1:23:21] ---**
The bridge! He's heading for the bridge!
**[1:23:24] ---**
Let's go see!
**[1:23:42] ---**
Are you really going alone?
**[1:23:45] ---**
He wants this, doesn't he?
**[1:23:48] ---**
We should call the gang together.
**[1:23:52] ---**
Hey!
**[1:23:53] ---**
I wouldn't want to keep him waiting.
**[1:23:57] ---**
Hey, Kaneda! Wait!
**[1:24:06] ---**
Half seem to be
anti-government demonstrators.
**[1:24:09] ---**
The rest are... Well, they're more
like some crazy cult than onlookers.
**[1:24:13] ---**
They're following after the subject,
and more and more keep coming.
**[1:24:20] ---**
Oh, flames of purity,
**[1:24:24] ---**
raze this corrupt city!
**[1:24:26] ---**
"We Worship the Great Lord Akira"
raze this corrupt city!
**[1:24:27] ---**
"We Worship the Great Lord Akira"
Consume our unclean hearts!
**[1:24:32] ---**
Fear not!
**[1:24:35] ---**
Your bodies will be purified in the flames!
**[1:24:41] ---**
Ready!
**[1:24:45] ---**
Fire!
**[1:24:51] ---**
Set the switch to hold for three
seconds and converge your beams!
**[1:24:55] ---**
Aim!
**[1:24:56] ---**
Fire!
**[1:25:03] ---**
Watch this!
**[1:25:11] ---**
Look out! Let's get out of here!
**[1:25:24] ---**
Help me!
**[1:25:33] ---**
Ground forces! Ground forces, come in!
**[1:25:35] ---**
Report! What is the subject's status?!
**[1:25:37] ---**
Ground forces!
**[1:25:41] ---**
Call the Doctor.
**[1:25:43] ---**
We have confirmation of his
recent movements and are in pursuit.
**[1:25:46] ---**
His present position is... Let's see...
**[1:25:48] ---**
Coordinates 99871 by 4332.
**[1:25:54] ---**
That's about 2 km south of the
Olympics construction site in the old city.
**[1:25:57] ---**
What?!
**[1:26:04] ---**
What was that?
**[1:26:06] ---**
Look!
**[1:26:08] ---**
That's near the toll booth that's
being guarded by the 2nd platoon.
**[1:26:12] ---**
Wha--?
**[1:26:14] ---**
Huh?
**[1:26:18] ---**
Please turn around!
This area's off limits to civilians!
**[1:26:22] ---**
What? That's the subject?!
**[1:26:25] ---**
S-Stop!
**[1:26:26] ---**
Stop, damn it!
**[1:27:33] ---**
Nice place you have here.
**[1:27:43] ---**
Wait, you were with Kaneda.
**[1:27:46] ---**
You shouldn't use your power this way.
**[1:27:51] ---**
What?
**[1:27:52] ---**
In the end, you won't be able to control it.
**[1:27:57] ---**
The kids...
**[1:27:58] ---**
You're those brats, aren't you?!
**[1:28:18] ---**
Okay, then...!
**[1:28:42] ---**
What the--?
**[1:28:55] ---**
It's not safe here, Colonel!
**[1:29:37] ---**
Well, what're you gonna do?
**[1:31:06] ---**
Open up!
**[1:31:19] ---**
What the hell?
**[1:31:21] ---**
That's Akira, Tetsuo!
**[1:31:24] ---**
That's the "Akira" you wanted to meet.
**[1:31:27] ---**
There's your Messiah!
**[1:31:30] ---**
After his transcendental awakening,
**[1:31:33] ---**
his body was subjected to
every test known to science.
**[1:31:37] ---**
And that's what was left of it.
**[1:31:49] ---**
"Cranial Nerve"
**[1:31:50] ---**
The scientists back then
were unable to solve the mystery,
**[1:31:55] ---**
so they decided to entrust their
collected data and test samples
**[1:31:59] ---**
to future generations by
preserving them in a frozen capsule.
**[1:32:04] ---**
SOL... We'll use SOL!
**[1:32:06] ---**
Sir?
**[1:32:09] ---**
Akira is already dead!
**[1:32:12] ---**
Well? Are you satisfied now, Tetsuo?
**[1:32:20] ---**
So come back with us!
**[1:32:23] ---**
Like hell!
**[1:32:25] ---**
Contact the central defense center
**[1:32:27] ---**
and tell them to patch us
through to SOL's control circuits!
**[1:32:31] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:32:48] ---**
Hey, watch it!
**[1:32:50] ---**
Damn it, move! Get out of the way!
**[1:33:11] ---**
What is this, science class?
**[1:33:30] ---**
What's wrong? Have some trouble?
**[1:33:34] ---**
Yeah, but I already took care of it.
**[1:33:37] ---**
If you were here earlier,
you could've watched the show.
**[1:33:39] ---**
You had me worried again.
**[1:33:42] ---**
I figured you'd be standing here,
sobbing like a little baby.
**[1:33:46] ---**
Kaneda, you've always
been a pain in the ass.
**[1:33:50] ---**
You've been telling me what
to do ever since we were kids.
**[1:33:55] ---**
You always treat me like a kid.
**[1:33:57] ---**
You always show up and
start bossing me around!
**[1:34:00] ---**
And now you're a boss, too...
**[1:34:02] ---**
Of this pile of rubble.
**[1:34:04] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:34:06] ---**
That's Mister Kaneda to you, punk!
**[1:34:08] ---**
Die!
**[1:34:20] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:34:45] ---**
Son of a...
**[1:35:01] ---**
Kei!
**[1:35:04] ---**
Oh, hell!
**[1:35:09] ---**
Let's do it!
**[1:35:22] ---**
Got him!
**[1:35:25] ---**
Huh?
**[1:35:31] ---**
The battery?!
**[1:35:32] ---**
What's the matter, Kaneda?
**[1:35:36] ---**
God damn it! This ain't fair, Tetsuo!
**[1:35:38] ---**
Fight with your bare hands!
**[1:35:43] ---**
Oh, this is funny...
**[1:35:46] ---**
Feeling frustrated, Kaneda?
**[1:35:49] ---**
Now do you understand how it feels?
**[1:35:58] ---**
What's this light?
**[1:36:11] ---**
Well, did you hit him?
**[1:36:12] ---**
We're too close to the impact point.
There's too much electrical interference.
**[1:36:15] ---**
Prepare a second volley!
**[1:36:40] ---**
Hey! Kaneda!
**[1:37:03] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:37:21] ---**
Shit...
**[1:37:23] ---**
Huh?
**[1:37:24] ---**
What the--?
**[1:38:01] ---**
Correcting for tracking system error.
**[1:38:03] ---**
T-minus-20 to energy alteration.
**[1:38:05] ---**
--Fire extinguishers!
--Are you okay?
**[1:38:06] ---**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[1:38:07] ---**
What happened? What's going on?
**[1:38:19] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:38:22] ---**
Kai! Kei!
**[1:38:23] ---**
--Kaneda!
- -Kaneda!
**[1:38:25] ---**
Get on!
**[1:38:26] ---**
Get on? Where?
**[1:38:27] ---**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[1:38:51] ---**
What's that?
**[1:39:06] ---**
They say it's SOL.
**[1:39:19] ---**
Magnificent...
**[1:39:31] ---**
When Tetsuo's power reaches its peak?
**[1:39:35] ---**
That's when we do it.
**[1:39:37] ---**
But will it work?
**[1:39:40] ---**
The future doesn't
proceed along a single course.
**[1:39:45] ---**
There ought to be a future we can choose.
**[1:39:59] ---**
What's Tetsuo's status?
**[1:40:01] ---**
Ah, Colonel...
**[1:40:03] ---**
We set up a camera in
the stadium a while ago.
**[1:40:06] ---**
We have him under observation.
**[1:40:09] ---**
Colonel, you must take a look at this data!
**[1:40:14] ---**
We're still analyzing the energy
given off by the subject, but...
**[1:40:17] ---**
It's magnificent. Absolutely magnificent.
**[1:40:20] ---**
This is clearly a proton collapse.
**[1:40:23] ---**
We're also detecting a fair number of
what we believe to be unknown particles.
**[1:40:27] ---**
If we can put this into a
theoretical framework, physics--
**[1:40:30] ---**
No, science...
**[1:40:31] ---**
Humanity itself could touch the
fundamental truths of the universe!
**[1:40:37] ---**
Oh. That's...
**[1:40:39] ---**
We still haven't finished
making our adjustments.
**[1:40:41] ---**
Uh, Colonel!
**[1:40:48] ---**
T-That's...!
**[1:40:53] ---**
You bastard! What did I tell you?!
**[1:40:56] ---**
B-But, Colonel!
**[1:40:58] ---**
I couldn't throw away
such a magnificent subject!
**[1:41:02] ---**
Shut up!
**[1:41:26] ---**
Shit! It's on fire!
**[1:41:28] ---**
The battery! The battery!
**[1:41:29] ---**
My bike! It's burning up!
**[1:41:33] ---**
Hey, what's a bike or two?
**[1:41:35] ---**
What? Then there's nothing
wrong with using yours, right?
**[1:41:39] ---**
You heard that?
**[1:41:41] ---**
Yeah, I did!
**[1:41:42] ---**
Hey, your bike's still on fire.
**[1:42:25] ---**
Tetsuo?
**[1:42:39] ---**
Tetsuo, why does
everyone call you "Akira"?
**[1:42:43] ---**
He never existed in the first place.
**[1:42:47] ---**
They didn't care who it was.
**[1:42:52] ---**
Just so long as he destroyed things.
**[1:42:55] ---**
Your arm!
**[1:42:58] ---**
It doesn't look like much,
but it works pretty good.
**[1:43:04] ---**
What's wrong? Are you okay?
**[1:43:09] ---**
It's nothing!
**[1:43:11] ---**
Tetsuo...
**[1:43:12] ---**
Shut up! Just go away!
**[1:43:22] ---**
Medicine...
**[1:43:24] ---**
What's wrong, Tetsuo? Are you in pain?
**[1:43:27] ---**
Go back to the lab and
get me some of that medicine!
**[1:43:31] ---**
Did you hear that, Doctor?
**[1:43:33] ---**
Yes, Colonel.
**[1:43:34] ---**
Well? Can you see any signs of it?
**[1:43:37] ---**
I'm not entirely certain,
**[1:43:39] ---**
but it seems that the power that had
been held back by the drugs is breaking free.
**[1:43:44] ---**
He may not be able to control
power that has awakened so suddenly.
**[1:43:47] ---**
At any rate, he's in an
extremely dangerous condition!
**[1:43:51] ---**
If you don't go back to the lab and
receive proper treatment, you may die.
**[1:43:58] ---**
You want me to enroll in that
kindergarten and live happily ever after?
**[1:44:02] ---**
Take my medicine every day
and shrivel up like those kids?!
**[1:44:13] ---**
Kaori... Kaori...
**[1:44:17] ---**
Please... I need that medicine...
**[1:44:21] ---**
No...!
**[1:44:23] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:44:26] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:44:29] ---**
Tetsuo--
**[1:45:02] ---**
Kaneda?!
**[1:45:42] ---**
Huh?
**[1:45:50] ---**
Son of a...
**[1:45:56] ---**
You kids... What are you doing here?
**[1:46:04] ---**
You never learn, do you?
**[1:46:09] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:46:25] ---**
Takashi...
**[1:46:29] ---**
Akira...
**[1:46:30] ---**
"Optic Nerve"
**[1:46:44] ---**
Kaneda...? H-Help me...!
**[1:46:57] ---**
Kaori...
**[1:47:02] ---**
Help me...!
**[1:47:16] ---**
Help me!
**[1:47:18] ---**
Stop it!
**[1:47:37] ---**
Kaori?
**[1:47:38] ---**
Kaori! Kaori!
**[1:47:41] ---**
Tetsuo? Is that you, Tetsuo?!
**[1:47:44] ---**
Kaori! Kaori's gonna die!
**[1:47:47] ---**
What?! What did you say?!
**[1:47:50] ---**
My body's not doing what I tell it to!
**[1:47:52] ---**
My power's acting on its own...!
**[1:47:55] ---**
Kaori!
**[1:47:57] ---**
Kaori's dying!
**[1:48:00] ---**
Kaneda, help me!
**[1:48:02] ---**
Stop, Tetsuo!
**[1:48:04] ---**
Stop it!
**[1:48:06] ---**
Kaori's pain is coming into me...!
**[1:48:12] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:48:14] ---**
Kaneda! Run away!
**[1:48:31] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:48:45] ---**
Kiyoko! Takashi! Masaru! Get away from here!
**[1:48:53] ---**
Come on!
**[1:49:01] ---**
I can't believe it. It's as if--
**[1:49:16] ---**
Kiyoko! Taka--
**[1:49:54] ---**
Hi,
**[1:49:56] ---**
Akira.
**[1:50:06] ---**
Th-This is...
**[1:50:09] ---**
But that's--Oh, no!
**[1:50:21] ---**
W-Where am I?
**[1:50:24] ---**
Hurry! Get into the tunnel!
**[1:50:26] ---**
You'll be safe in there.
**[1:50:27] ---**
Kiyoko! Where are you?
**[1:50:44] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:50:46] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:50:49] ---**
Hang on!
**[1:50:52] ---**
If you don't get out of here now, you'll--
**[1:50:53] ---**
Out of the way!
**[1:50:55] ---**
Tetsuo!
**[1:50:56] ---**
Don't go!
**[1:51:05] ---**
No, Takashi!
**[1:51:07] ---**
If you went in now, you'd be trapped, too.
**[1:51:11] ---**
But none of this is his fault!
**[1:51:22] ---**
--Takashi!
- -Takashi!
**[1:51:31] ---**
If we went in, we wouldn't be
strong enough to come back out.
**[1:51:38] ---**
But if the three of us worked together,
maybe we could at least save that boy.
**[1:51:43] ---**
You're right.
**[1:51:44] ---**
Together, the three of us could...
**[1:51:55] ---**
Oh, man...!
**[1:51:57] ---**
We should get out of here. Hey!
**[1:52:01] ---**
Kaneda...
**[1:52:35] ---**
Look, you're not revving your engine enough.
**[1:52:39] ---**
When you go into a corner, lean like
you're trying to kill yourself. Watch!
**[1:52:42] ---**
What're you doing?
**[1:52:44] ---**
Cornering, man.
**[1:52:47] ---**
Got it, Tetsuo...?
**[1:52:56] ---**
Look, there's another one!
**[1:52:57] ---**
--Another transfer student?
--He was abandoned.
**[1:53:00] ---**
You can see it in his face.
**[1:53:06] ---**
Are... Are these your dreams, Tetsuo?
**[1:53:12] ---**
Wait!
**[1:54:31] ---**
This is Akira...?
**[1:54:34] ---**
Yes. We called him.
**[1:54:37] ---**
To have him take Tetsuo away.
**[1:54:40] ---**
Take him away? Take him where?
**[1:54:43] ---**
It's too much for Tetsuo.
**[1:54:45] ---**
And for us. And for Akira.
**[1:54:49] ---**
It's too big for us as we are now.
**[1:54:53] ---**
But someday, we'll also be able to...
**[1:54:57] ---**
You see, it's already begun.
**[1:55:00] ---**
Your friend's--
**[1:55:02] ---**
My friend?
**[1:55:05] ---**
Kei! You mean Kei, don't you?
**[1:55:34] ---**
Tetsuo...
**[1:55:40] ---**
This is yours, right?
**[1:55:48] ---**
They're always like that with the
new kids. You came today, right?
**[1:55:52] ---**
They beat me up, too.
**[1:55:54] ---**
But the truth is, those guys are wimps.
**[1:55:57] ---**
I'm Tetsuo. Tetsuo Shima.
**[1:56:03] ---**
To tell you the truth,
I just got here myself.
**[1:56:06] ---**
I'm--
**[1:56:08] ---**
Kaneda...
**[1:56:11] ---**
Kaneda?
**[1:56:13] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:56:14] ---**
Kei?
**[1:56:41] ---**
W-What's happening?
What in the world is happening?
**[1:56:47] ---**
B-But this isn't...
**[1:56:49] ---**
If this is correct, it's almost as if...
Is this the birth of a universe?!
**[1:57:00] ---**
Kei!
**[1:57:09] ---**
What happened?
**[1:57:13] ---**
It's disappearing...! It's disappearing!
**[1:58:26] ---**
Kaneda!
**[1:58:52] ---**
Tetsuo...
**[1:58:56] ---**
Kaneda...
**[1:58:59] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:59:02] ---**
You called to me, right? I heard you.
**[1:59:12] ---**
Kaneda, don't tell me you're...
**[1:59:15] ---**
What about Tetsuo?
**[1:59:18] ---**
He left.
**[1:59:21] ---**
So did those three kids.
**[1:59:23] ---**
Akira, too.
**[1:59:24] ---**
Kaneda, back then, you...
**[1:59:28] ---**
Kaneda! You're alive?!
**[1:59:33] ---**
I thought you were in there for sure!
**[1:59:40] ---**
Tetsuo...
**[1:59:41] ---**
What happened to Tetsuo?
**[1:59:44] ---**
Is he dead?!
**[1:59:45] ---**
I'm not so sure. But he's probably...
**[2:00:14] ---**
But someday, we'll also be able to...
**[2:00:18] ---**
You see, it's already begun.
**[2:00:40] ---**
I am... Tetsuo.
**[2:00:43] ---**
