# Eden of the East
Akira Takizawa wakes up naked outside the White House with no memories. He’s got a gun and a cell phone. He doesn’t remember the phone gives him access to ten billion yen and a woman who will grant any request. He doesn’t even remember he’s supposed to save Japan and will be murdered if he fails. Whatever he’s tangled up in, Takizawa’s in deep—and that’s not even scratching the surface.

**[00:54] ---**
Saki, thanks for believing in me.
**[00:57] ---**
I'll stay forever in that place I traveled with you.
**[01:56] ---**
Please, is that Grand Central Station?
**[02:00] ---**
Huh?
**[02:03] ---**
You wanna get off here? This ain’t the Sheraton.
**[02:11] ---**
That's the famous Grand Central Station, right?
**[02:26] ---**
All right, fifty-five bucks.
**[02:29] ---**
Huh? But I just asked if this
was Grand Central Station...
**[02:36] ---**
Huh?! Why is he getting out of the car?!
**[02:49] ---**
What?
**[02:57] ---**
Shit!
**[03:00] ---**
What the fuck is this?!
**[03:02] ---**
One, two, three, four, five, six...
**[03:07] ---**
Wh-What?!
**[03:13] ---**
Listen, missy, I don't know what you're thinking!
**[03:16] ---**
Why'd you bring this crap into my car?!
**[03:37] ---**
Wait!
**[03:40] ---**
No way... Why?!
**[03:43] ---**
It's a gun... Somebody call the police!
**[03:47] ---**
Oh my God...
**[03:56] ---**
What?
**[03:58] ---**
What?!
**[04:06] ---**
What? What? What?!
**[04:08] ---**
This is bad! This is really bad!
**[04:22] ---**
What was that?!
**[04:39] ---**
No way... What's with this?!
**[04:44] ---**
What should I do?
**[04:45] ---**
My passport and Takizawa's
cell phone are both in that cab!
**[04:57] ---**
Takizawa...
**[05:01] ---**
But this time, I swear I'll find you.
**[07:40] ---**
Saki!
**[08:12] ---**
*Three days after the missiles
rained down all over Japan,*
**[08:17] ---**
*the police finished questioning me*
**[08:19] ---**
*and I went back to my
sister's house for the time being.*
**[08:41] ---**
This is Juiz. You have one message.
**[08:45] ---**
Saki, thanks for believing in me.
**[08:48] ---**
I'll stay forever in that place I traveled with you.
**[08:53] ---**
Takizawa...
**[09:02] ---**
*Until the uproar over the incident died down,*
**[09:05] ---**
*I basically hid out at home.*
**[09:09] ---**
*All I thought about then was what
might have happened to Takizawa.*
**[09:16] ---**
*But apparently Juiz had erased all
record that he'd ever been arrested,*
**[09:23] ---**
*and he abruptly disappeared from our world.*
**[09:38] ---**
"Become king of this country"?
What does that mean?
**[09:47] ---**
*Still, in the cell phone cameras of
the people on that roof if nowhere else,*
**[09:53] ---**
*he definitely existed.*
**[09:56] ---**
*As the savior who saved
Japan from the missiles...*
**[10:14] ---**
*Based on all the images
published online afterward,*
**[10:18] ---**
*the mass media reported that Takizawa
was key to the terror investigation,*
**[10:22] ---**
*and they searched everywhere for him.*
**[10:27] ---**
*Meanwhile, as the source
of the Takizawa footage,*
**[10:32] ---**
*the Eden site was flooded
with hits from all over the world,*
**[10:35] ---**
*and Eden of the East
became a sensation overnight.*
**[10:53] ---**
*Likewise, the image of
Takizawa intercepting the missiles*
**[10:56] ---**
*became a symbol of revolution,*
**[10:58] ---**
*combining with the logo of the
"Air King," which means "flying ace,"*
**[11:01] ---**
*to draw overwhelming support.*
**[11:05] ---**
*After the missiles, this country
reached a giant turning point.*
**[11:10] ---**
*Once again, there were
miraculously no casualties,*
**[11:13] ---**
*but the domestic situation still became unstable,*
**[11:16] ---**
*and stocks took a nosedive.*
**[11:18] ---**
*The entire administration resigned after
failing to stop another "Careless Monday."*
**[11:23] ---**
*Online, people likened it to
Prime Minister Eda's crazy outburst,*
**[11:27] ---**
*mockingly calling it "the Uncle Dissolution."*
**[11:31] ---**
*This all had a considerable
negative effect on the world economy,*
**[11:35] ---**
*but the U.S. still stayed out of it,
maintaining its noninvolvement policy.*
**[11:41] ---**
*Our global standing plummeted;*
**[11:44] ---**
*other nations satirized us as
"the country that attempted suicide."*
**[11:49] ---**
*The missiles never hit,*
**[11:52] ---**
*but the truth is, Japan took
more damage than if they had.*
**[11:59] ---**
*Still, for the youth who knew nothing
of Japan's economic boom or the bubble,*
**[12:03] ---**
*this was their first time
seeing the problems they faced*
**[12:07] ---**
*talked about all over the world.*
**[12:10] ---**
*So even though they were nervous,*
**[12:12] ---**
*the uncertainty about their nation's
future was actually refreshing in a way.*
**[12:17] ---**
*No one ever said it in so
many words, but after that day,*
**[12:21] ---**
*our vague sense of despair
changed to a sort of hopefulness.*
**[12:26] ---**
--Hi, guys!
--*And in these times of unprecedented crisis,*
**[12:27] ---**
--Welcome to Eden of the East, Osugi!
--*And in these times of unprecedented crisis,*
**[12:30] ---**
--Well, look who's here! Long time no see!
--*Eden of the East took the
plunge and went into business.*
**[12:35] ---**
*I ended up helping, too,
though I can't really do much.*
**[12:38] ---**
Whoa, check out Osugi's business card!
**[12:42] ---**
"Sales Division 3," it says!
**[12:45] ---**
--"Three" doesn't mean "third-best," you know!
--Let me see.
**[12:51] ---**
You become an upstanding
working man too, okay, Kasuga?!
**[12:55] ---**
I'm already a more upstanding
worker than you are.
**[13:46] ---**
I'm really desperate.
**[14:06] ---**
Good night!
**[14:07] ---**
--*It was about six months later*
--Night!
**[14:09] ---**
*that things started happening.*
**[14:13] ---**
*It was summertime.*
**[14:15] ---**
Saki, you just added
Washington to your trip in May,
**[14:19] ---**
and now I hear you've
bought another ticket there.
**[14:22] ---**
Hirasawa, you knew?
**[14:31] ---**
Don't you feel like you can belong here?
**[14:35] ---**
That's... not it...
**[14:39] ---**
You're being a dolt!
**[14:44] ---**
Sis?
**[14:46] ---**
Hirasawa's worried about Takky too, you know.
**[14:52] ---**
He hasn't told you this, but he
had Underpants rig something
**[14:56] ---**
so that all the logs received on Takky's phone
**[15:00] ---**
get automatically forwarded to Eden's server.
**[15:04] ---**
The other Seleção are still playing the game,
**[15:08] ---**
and Japan will be in big trouble if
more missiles come or something, right?
**[15:13] ---**
Sis, it's too early to...
**[15:16] ---**
Isn't it about time you told her?
**[15:19] ---**
The real reason you got Eden
started was to save Takky.
**[15:28] ---**
We owe him big, after all.
**[15:30] ---**
So the way I figure it,
**[15:32] ---**
this time we NEETs have to save
Takizawa and change this country.
**[15:39] ---**
Hirasawa...
**[15:41] ---**
Not that we're actually NEETs anymore.
**[15:46] ---**
Hey! So the new Prime Minister's
collapsed already?!
**[15:54] ---**
You're kidding!
**[15:56] ---**
Didn't the name on Takky's passport
change from "Takizawa" to "Iinuma"?
**[16:02] ---**
Maybe Juiz is trying to
make him Prime Minister!
**[16:10] ---**
Look!
**[16:12] ---**
"Leak existence of illegitimate child"?
**[16:14] ---**
So that means Takky is linuma's son?
**[16:18] ---**
No, it means she's trying to
make him the new PM's successor!
**[16:22] ---**
Changing his passport was part of the setup.
**[16:28] ---**
This is crazy.
**[16:29] ---**
I thought Takizawa was being a
little *too* creative with his requests
**[16:34] ---**
when he erased his memories again,
said, "I'll be king of Japan," and *left*,
**[16:38] ---**
but Juiz has her own issues if she
interprets that as "make him PM"!
**[16:43] ---**
Yeah... But hold on a sec.
**[16:46] ---**
The passport was changed
right after he disappeared,
**[16:52] ---**
so does that mean Juiz
anticipated six months ago
**[16:54] ---**
that Seijiro linuma would be elected,
and that he'd collapse from overwork?
**[17:01] ---**
So Juiz's power really does reach
right to the heart of the government...
**[17:05] ---**
Never underestimate Saizo Ato, huh?
**[17:09] ---**
I knew saving Takizawa wouldn't
be easy, but this confirms it.
**[17:19] ---**
New York?
**[17:21] ---**
I never went to New York with Takizawa.
**[17:24] ---**
From his message about the
place where you two traveled,
**[17:28] ---**
it seems like D.C. is the only foreign possibility.
**[17:33] ---**
What if...
**[17:35] ---**
What is it? Do you have an idea?
**[17:39] ---**
*Two days later, I'd taken off for New York.*
**[17:45] ---**
*I believed that "the place we traveled together"*
**[17:48] ---**
*was a message that only I would understand...*
**[17:53] ---**
So why did things turn out this way?!
**[18:17] ---**
Hello?!
**[18:19] ---**
Saki? Why didn't you call sooner?!
**[18:22] ---**
You had us all worried!
**[18:24] ---**
Sorry. Lots of stuff happened...
**[18:27] ---**
Things took a sudden turn for
the worse during your flight.
**[18:31] ---**
Prime Minister linuma passed away,
and in response to Takizawa's log,
**[18:35] ---**
Number 6 and Number 11
have headed for New York.
**[18:40] ---**
What's more, Number 6 made
a request to rig your luggage.
**[18:45] ---**
Look in your bags first thing!
**[18:46] ---**
Then that was...
**[18:50] ---**
Are you saying something's already happened?!
**[18:53] ---**
There were handguns in my carryon.
**[18:56] ---**
Because of that, I lost my passport
and the Noblesse phone...
**[19:00] ---**
What?! Why didn't you check
the Noblesse phone right away?!
**[19:05] ---**
Sorry, I was thinking about something...
**[19:08] ---**
Honestly...
**[19:11] ---**
Well, I'm sorry to kick you while you're down,
**[19:13] ---**
but Seleção Number 2 sent copies of
Takizawa's passport to all the networks,
**[19:20] ---**
proclaiming him the illegitimate son.
**[19:24] ---**
Which means the whole town is talking
about how linuma's illegitimate son
**[19:28] ---**
is wanted for questioning
in the missile investigation.
**[19:32] ---**
It looks like the movement in Takizawa's log
**[19:35] ---**
has gotten the Seleção game
restarted in earnest.
**[19:40] ---**
In just twelve hours?
**[19:44] ---**
From Number 11's logs, I think
she's the one you met in Roppongi,
**[19:49] ---**
but Number 6 is unidentified.
**[19:51] ---**
He's asked Juiz for Takky's location
a bunch of times and been denied,
**[19:55] ---**
so I think he'll probably try
to make contact with you, Saki.
**[19:58] ---**
Actually, he might already be tailing you.
**[20:01] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:05] ---**
How did Number 6 know about Saki?
**[20:09] ---**
I think because the media was
following her around for a while.
**[20:14] ---**
And maybe because she took
the Noblesse phone overseas?
**[20:19] ---**
That makes sense...
**[20:21] ---**
Anyway, the fact that we don't know what
Number 6 wants just makes him creepier.
**[20:27] ---**
At any rate, you need to adapt
to unforeseen circumstances here
**[20:30] ---**
and evacuate to the
consulate general right now.
**[20:33] ---**
What?! But--
**[20:34] ---**
We've heard that linuma's supporters are
flying to New York to look for Takizawa.
**[20:40] ---**
I'm sorry, but you have
to give up on him for now.
**[20:44] ---**
No!
**[20:46] ---**
If I don't find him now,
**[20:48] ---**
he'll be pilloried by the press when
he doesn't even remember anything!
**[20:53] ---**
He's already shouldered
so many problems for us...
**[20:59] ---**
But we can't expose you to any more danger.
**[21:03] ---**
You can't even get a hotel room
without your passport, you know!
**[21:06] ---**
You go straight to the consulate.
**[21:08] ---**
If you can't get there on your own,
we'll dig up an escort for you.
**[21:13] ---**
Hirasawa...
**[21:16] ---**
There's one thing I really want to check.
**[21:20] ---**
If that message means
the place I think it means,
**[21:24] ---**
I might be able to find him
just ahead of the other Seleção.
**[21:30] ---**
So would you wait just a little bit longer?
**[21:33] ---**
But Saki...
**[21:36] ---**
The consulate general closes at four o'clock.
**[21:41] ---**
Please, Hirasawa.
**[21:46] ---**
Okay. But you be sure you get
to the consulate before four!
**[21:51] ---**
Got it?
**[21:52] ---**
Yeah. Thanks, Hirasawa.
**[22:03] ---**
Hey, watch it, lady!
**[22:09] ---**
Why isn't he here?
**[22:11] ---**
A hero is supposed to show up
when the heroine is in trouble!
**[22:17] ---**
We should have gone with her after all.
**[22:21] ---**
There's no point in regretting that now.
**[22:23] ---**
And I think Saki would've gone alone anyway.
**[22:27] ---**
Good point. Let's have faith that
her hard work will pay off, okay?
**[22:32] ---**
After all, it was Saki's secret plans
**[22:35] ---**
that brought them together in the first place!
**[22:38] ---**
True enough.
**[22:48] ---**
I got your voicemail! Saki is missing?!
**[22:53] ---**
--Kasuga!
--I-It wasn't me!
**[22:56] ---**
I did it.
**[22:58] ---**
I figure he'll just bitch about it
later if we don't tell him now.
**[23:01] ---**
What the hell is this about, Hirasawa?!
**[23:05] ---**
Why did this happen?!
**[23:12] ---**
A simple group of NEETs, turned into
"children of the times" overnight!
**[23:18] ---**
Am I a great producer or what?
**[23:21] ---**
It seems like a fun job.
**[23:23] ---**
So, how exactly do you make money off of it?
**[23:27] ---**
I couldn't care less about
the money. More importantly...
**[23:32] ---**
It sounds like Public Security
has an eye on them.
**[23:36] ---**
Would you know anything
about that, Mr. Mononobe?
**[23:39] ---**
Nope, beats me.
**[23:41] ---**
Oh, really.
**[23:43] ---**
Anyway, it looks like you're still
playing your cards as craftily as ever.
**[23:47] ---**
Especially for someone
who won't join the game.
**[23:50] ---**
And why did *you* suddenly join in?
**[23:54] ---**
You were never interested before.
**[23:58] ---**
Number 9 inspired me.
**[24:01] ---**
Plus, if I don't get a move on,
the Supporter will erase me, right?
**[24:06] ---**
For the record, I'm not the Supporter.
**[24:10] ---**
If the Supporter really exists,
wouldn't you say he's Number 12?
**[24:17] ---**
Somehow I can't quite bring myself to trust you.
**[24:20] ---**
Aren't you manipulating Number 6?
**[24:24] ---**
I haven't done anything this time.
**[24:27] ---**
Making that man go after Number 9
wouldn't be of any benefit to me.
**[24:34] ---**
Well, it's not like I care at this point.
**[24:38] ---**
While you've been "massaging"
the law with your politician friends,
**[24:43] ---**
*I've* found a way to win the game.
**[24:48] ---**
How very interesting.
**[24:50] ---**
Does it have anything to do
with how you leaked the identity
**[24:54] ---**
of the Prime Minister's kid to the media?
**[24:57] ---**
That's my little secret.
**[25:02] ---**
Then I suppose we have
nothing else to talk about.
**[25:17] ---**
And next up is...
**[26:05] ---**
I remember Takizawa saying "Ground Zero"...
**[26:15] ---**
I wonder if I have to ride that thing?
**[26:58] ---**
S-Safe...
**[27:07] ---**
--Whatcha doing?
--I-I-I'm so sorry!
**[27:28] ---**
Is that your gun?
**[27:32] ---**
Okay, I get it! Someone made you carry it, right?
**[27:36] ---**
Sometimes bad guys make
tourists run guns for them.
**[27:41] ---**
Let me see it.
**[27:52] ---**
Run!
**[28:15] ---**
Okay! Nobody saw us.
**[28:21] ---**
See you around.
**[28:24] ---**
Takizawa, wait!
**[28:32] ---**
"Takizawa"? My name is linuma...
**[28:38] ---**
U-Um, Mr. Iinuma... The truth is,
I'm looking for someone.
**[28:45] ---**
Did you get separated?
**[28:46] ---**
Huh?! Er, yes, but I just found him...
**[28:50] ---**
But I lost all our things:
his precious cell phone, the luggage...
**[28:56] ---**
Oh, that really sucks. Do you
want me to help you look, then?
**[29:01] ---**
Where did you lose them?
**[29:03] ---**
I left them in a yellow cab.
**[29:07] ---**
I see. But if you just forgot them
in a cab, there might be hope.
**[29:12] ---**
Do you have a receipt?
**[29:15] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[29:18] ---**
We're in luck!
**[29:26] ---**
Now everybody's finally following the script...
**[29:35] ---**
Isn't it about time we called her?
**[29:49] ---**
There's still time, so hold your horses.
**[29:52] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[29:55] ---**
Hey, Kasuga, I'm gonna call it a day, all right?
**[30:01] ---**
But we just decided to do the
system administration in shifts!
**[30:05] ---**
It's the Bon Festival; everybody's on vacation.
**[30:07] ---**
Plus you guys are here, right?
So I figure maybe it's okay.
**[30:10] ---**
Wh-What are you saying?!
**[30:12] ---**
It's fine, Kasuga!
**[30:14] ---**
Have a good night, everybody. Get some rest.
**[30:18] ---**
--Good night!
--See you!
**[30:21] ---**
Kasuga's got it good, being treated like an exec
**[30:24] ---**
just because he happened to
go to Mr. Hirasawa's school...
**[30:31] ---**
Kasuga...
**[30:36] ---**
They're older than me, so I don't
mind that they don't call me "Mr."
**[30:41] ---**
But they come in late, they don't
want to work the night shift,
**[30:44] ---**
they want raises... they don't get
what it means to be working adults!
**[30:51] ---**
You're right, maybe they
only think of this as a paradise.
**[30:56] ---**
Okay, how about we send them back to college?
**[30:59] ---**
Huh?!
**[31:02] ---**
I'm sorry. I know you're the
one who suffers the most.
**[31:07] ---**
The old guys who take it for
granted they're the winners
**[31:11] ---**
should be our greatest enemies,
but now I understand how they feel...
**[31:15] ---**
That's because you've become a
full-fledged member of society, too!
**[31:23] ---**
What's with all the freakin' donuts?
**[31:29] ---**
If you lose your NEET spirit
the second you go into business,
**[31:32] ---**
you'll end up just like all those
"normal" lamebrains before you know it!
**[31:37] ---**
--Master Underpants!
--Hiya, Kasuga. How're you doin'?
**[31:41] ---**
Micchon!
**[31:45] ---**
What's this?
**[31:47] ---**
I powered up Eden's search engine for ya.
**[31:50] ---**
This sweet little piece of work can
pull up data we couldn't find before:
**[31:56] ---**
the pre- "Akira linuma" image
data that's gotta be lyin' around
**[31:59] ---**
on terminals in public facilities
and private businesses!
**[32:07] ---**
First we gotta find out Vintage Boy's past.
**[32:10] ---**
Once we do that, we can stop
everyone thinkin' he's the PM's kid!
**[32:15] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[32:39] ---**
Um, did I interrupt your job?
**[32:43] ---**
I was on my way to a
coworker's wedding reception.
**[32:48] ---**
Coworker?
**[32:52] ---**
It's okay, you'll find your bags.
**[32:55] ---**
Huh?
**[32:56] ---**
You found the guy you
were looking for, didn't you?
**[32:59] ---**
That "Takizawa" guy.
**[33:01] ---**
Yeah...
**[33:02] ---**
So, is he an old boyfriend or something?
**[33:04] ---**
N-No!
**[33:07] ---**
He wasn't my boyfriend or anything...
**[33:11] ---**
Six months ago, he disappeared all of a sudden.
**[33:14] ---**
But I finally found out that he was in New York...
**[33:17] ---**
But he doesn't remember me at all.
**[33:22] ---**
Wow, that's harsh.
**[33:24] ---**
Yeah, tell me about it...
**[33:52] ---**
I found out who your driver was.
**[34:07] ---**
That's him!
**[34:11] ---**
Yikes, he looks scary.
**[34:19] ---**
Would you stay just like this for me?
**[34:26] ---**
Hi!
**[34:29] ---**
Do you know if anybody happened to
leave a cell phone in your cab today?
**[34:35] ---**
I don't know nothin' about that.
**[34:40] ---**
The thing is, I'm a cop. From Japan.
**[34:46] ---**
A cop?
**[34:48] ---**
Do you recognize that girl, Sir?
**[34:52] ---**
She may not look it, but she's a skilled terrorist!
**[34:57] ---**
She's a terrorist?
**[35:02] ---**
Yes! I finally nabbed her,
**[35:05] ---**
but now I can't find the
bomb she planted in her cab.
**[35:08] ---**
You get me? B-O-M-B, *bomb*!
**[35:12] ---**
Bomb?
**[35:14] ---**
Apparently it's disguised as a cell phone.
**[35:18] ---**
I'll have a big problem on
my hands if I don't find it!
**[35:21] ---**
Are you sure you don't know anything?
**[35:23] ---**
*Kaboom*, you know?
**[35:25] ---**
Well, uh...
**[35:29] ---**
Maybe I've got the wrong place.
Well, I'll keep asking around.
**[35:33] ---**
Okay, good luck!
**[35:35] ---**
Hey, hey, hey, wait up, wait up, wait up!
**[35:40] ---**
Is this what you're lookin' for?
**[35:48] ---**
Oh, thank God we found it in time!
**[35:52] ---**
That was a close call...
**[35:54] ---**
Thanks for your cooperation, Sir!
**[35:59] ---**
I'm back!
**[36:01] ---**
He looked scary...
**[36:03] ---**
Nah, he was actually pretty nice.
**[36:10] ---**
Here you go. Oh, and I don't think
you should take a cab back home.
**[36:17] ---**
Just in case.
**[36:19] ---**
Wait!
**[36:22] ---**
Is there something else?
**[36:24] ---**
Um, remember how I told you I'd
found the person I was looking for?
**[36:30] ---**
I meant you!
**[36:34] ---**
What is that, some new
pickup line? Well, I'm floored...
**[36:53] ---**
This is...
**[36:57] ---**
I've been looking for you
for six months straight.
**[37:12] ---**
Wanna come home with me?
**[37:14] ---**
Huh?
**[37:27] ---**
Stressing out like that isn't going
to help anything, you know.
**[37:31] ---**
But it's almost time...
**[37:37] ---**
Hey, it's an email from Saki!
**[37:40] ---**
"I found Takizawa."
**[37:44] ---**
"Thanks to him, I got the passport
and cell phone back, too."
**[37:50] ---**
It's a tough call who came
to whose rescue here, huh?
**[37:53] ---**
*How* did she find him, though?
**[37:55] ---**
Love brought them together, obviously!
**[38:02] ---**
--What else?
-- "We're going to his apartment for now." That's all.
**[38:07] ---**
Oh, this is so exciting! Don't you think?!
**[38:17] ---**
Someone call Saki and tell
her to use good judgment!
**[38:21] ---**
No, Saki, you can't do that!
**[38:25] ---**
Drive out your evil thoughts, Osugi!
**[38:28] ---**
This is a life we can never have!
**[38:30] ---**
Kasuga, tumblin' in a sea of evil thoughts
**[38:34] ---**
is the default state of NEET youth!
**[38:37] ---**
As his junior, it's your duty to
somewhat-fondly watch over him.
**[38:40] ---**
Right, Micchon?
**[38:42] ---**
I don't think so.
**[39:16] ---**
Hello, this is Juiz.
**[39:19] ---**
Did you get her safely away this morning?
**[39:21] ---**
Yes, I distracted the police by
causing a minor car accident nearby.
**[39:27] ---**
I'd hoped to use a more elegant method, but...
**[39:30] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[39:31] ---**
I know we can't do much outside
the system's effective range.
**[39:35] ---**
You're very kind. Is there
anything else you'd like?
**[39:39] ---**
Hmm, I think that'll do for now, thank you.
**[39:43] ---**
I see...
**[39:46] ---**
What is it?
**[39:47] ---**
It's just that we haven't
done the usual in a while...
**[39:55] ---**
That's true, I haven't cut off
a single johnny since then.
**[39:59] ---**
Have I... done something wrong?
**[40:03] ---**
Not at all. I just have other
business to attend to right now.
**[40:08] ---**
May I ask what?
**[40:20] ---**
Number 1 here, Daiju Mononobe,
**[40:23] ---**
is the four-eyed jerk with the
slicked-back hair who hit me.
**[40:26] ---**
After he quit his job as a bureaucrat,
**[40:28] ---**
he got an executive post at Ato & Company.
**[40:31] ---**
He tried to make himself the new
Mr. Outside, but he screwed up,
**[40:35] ---**
and we don't know what he's been doin' since.
**[40:38] ---**
And we don't know who Number 2 is.
**[40:40] ---**
He's made a lot of
"criminal prankster" -type requests,
**[40:42] ---**
but he's cleverly kept his identity hidden.
**[40:45] ---**
Number 6 is sneakin' around New York right now.
**[40:47] ---**
We don't know who he is either,
but judgin' from his logs,
**[40:51] ---**
he seems like a film producer or something.
**[40:54] ---**
It's highly likely that Seleção
Numbers 1, 2, and 6 here
**[40:57] ---**
are a threat to Vintage Boy.
**[41:00] ---**
I see Number 10, Ryo Yuki,
**[41:02] ---**
has moved from the
"danger" list to the "dropout" one.
**[41:05] ---**
Yeah, ever since the missile incident,
**[41:07] ---**
he's been makin' various
"Number 9 assassination" requests
**[41:11] ---**
and bein' denied every time,
**[41:13] ---**
but three days ago, his icon finally went dark.
**[41:16] ---**
That sounds like what happened with Number 4.
**[41:19] ---**
Yeah. I don't know yet
whether he's alive or dead,
**[41:23] ---**
but considerin' that he had
money left, just like Number 4,
**[41:26] ---**
maybe someone decided
he'd lost his value as a Seleção.
**[41:31] ---**
The bigger surprise is Number 5, Hajime Hiura.
**[41:35] ---**
This guy's got no money left,
but he's actually still alive!
**[41:43] ---**
When I went to see him, he wasn't
runnin' the hospital anymore.
**[41:47] ---**
And guess why? He'd lost
all his recent memories!
**[41:52] ---**
He didn't even really get
that he owned a big hospital.
**[41:58] ---**
He seemed pretty shocked
when I told him my story,
**[42:01] ---**
but he grasped things quicker
than I would've thought.
**[42:05] ---**
It was like when he found
out he'd built the hospital,
**[42:08] ---**
he finally accepted things.
**[42:12] ---**
I guess his beliefs give him
that positive attitude.
**[42:17] ---**
But why wasn't he killed by
the Supporter, do you think?
**[42:21] ---**
If he used up all of his money and
survived, does that mean he won?
**[42:26] ---**
But if someone wins, the other
Seleção get eliminated, right?
**[42:32] ---**
So isn't this weird?
**[42:33] ---**
Maybe when Mr. Outside said "eliminated,"
**[42:37] ---**
he meant he'd snuff out their
*memories*, not their actual lives?
**[42:41] ---**
But he also said that Seleção who
broke the rules would die, right?
**[42:46] ---**
True, but what if No. 12 is actually
both Mr. Outside *and* the Supporter?
**[42:53] ---**
It'd take serious time and effort
to keep tabs on the other Seleção,
**[42:56] ---**
make 'em play by the rules,
and distribute the penalties by himself.
**[43:01] ---**
Juiz helped him, right?
**[43:03] ---**
I didn't find any trace of that in the logs.
**[43:06] ---**
He's the one who organized the game,
**[43:08] ---**
so he could be outside the rules, right?
**[43:11] ---**
Then why would he leave a
record of transportin' Juiz?
**[43:15] ---**
My take is, old Saizo Ato is nuts,
**[43:19] ---**
but he's been runnin' a pretty
consistent game so far.
**[43:24] ---**
So maybe he just made up the "Supporter" rule
**[43:28] ---**
to force everybody into
playin' his life-or-death game?
**[43:34] ---**
So the others mistaking
Takizawa for the Supporter
**[43:37] ---**
is just a case in point?
**[43:39] ---**
It's a wishful-thinkin' scenario, I'll admit.
**[43:42] ---**
Well, it'd be good news for Takky.
He's been using up his balance.
**[43:47] ---**
We can't theorize ahead of the facts.
**[43:49] ---**
She's right. Let's not look
through rose-colored glasses here.
**[43:54] ---**
Yeah...
**[44:15] ---**
Huh, so I'm Number 9 in this "Seleção" group,
**[44:19] ---**
and I'm wanted for questioning
in that big Japanese missile case.
**[44:24] ---**
It's like *The Man Who Stole the Sun*!
**[44:28] ---**
But it's all true, I swear!
**[44:31] ---**
It's okay. It's not like I don't believe you.
**[44:34] ---**
Huh?
**[44:38] ---**
This is my place.
**[44:43] ---**
But isn't this...?
**[44:48] ---**
Hey, Air King!
**[44:50] ---**
Hi!
**[44:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[44:59] ---**
People call you "Air King"?
**[45:01] ---**
Yup. People I've never even met
walk up to me on the street.
**[45:05] ---**
That's why I figured I couldn't
dismiss your story out of hand.
**[45:10] ---**
Plus, I do remember that
I don't have my memories.
**[45:14] ---**
Damn, I guess I'm not just a
lookalike-- I'm the real thing.
**[45:21] ---**
They're in room 801 of the Gramercy, got it?
**[45:25] ---**
Make them take a shower,
using any means necessary.
**[45:28] ---**
Then do just like I told you--
**[45:29] ---**
Excuse me, but I don't understand
the point of your request at all.
**[45:34] ---**
Look, the great movies throughout the ages
**[45:38] ---**
have always had couples on the run
taking showers wherever they end up!
**[45:43] ---**
It's the classic pattern!
**[45:46] ---**
Be that as it may,
**[45:47] ---**
not even the Seleção system
can control the human will.
**[45:52] ---**
You're now outside the
effective range in any case,
**[45:55] ---**
so these things are not so simple.
**[45:57] ---**
Now hold on a second! I know for a fact
**[46:00] ---**
that you're supplying Number 9 with
cash from a bank account you made!
**[46:04] ---**
That's totally breaking the rules.
So bend them a little for me, too!
**[46:09] ---**
That is a part of Number 9's
request to become king,
**[46:14] ---**
and thus is not against the rules.
**[46:17] ---**
Fine, I get it. Make me a king too, then!
**[46:21] ---**
I'm afraid the process of becoming
king is different for each Seleção.
**[46:25] ---**
Please wait while I confirm whether
it is possible to make you king at all.
**[46:32] ---**
Hey, what's with that attitude?!
**[46:34] ---**
So you don't want me to?
**[46:36] ---**
Fricking hell! Just shut up
and do what I told you to before!
**[46:40] ---**
Accepted.
**[46:42] ---**
However, I pray you shall be a savior
who watches his mouth a little better.
**[46:49] ---**
Dammit, she's getting cheekier every day...
**[47:01] ---**
Are you paying for this room, Mr. Iinuma?
**[47:07] ---**
No... Oh, you can just call me
"Takizawa" if you want.
**[47:12] ---**
Okay. So, what's happened since
you noticed your memory loss?
**[47:17] ---**
The police up and released me all of a sudden,
**[47:20] ---**
and they gave me cards and a
passport in Akira linuma's name,
**[47:23] ---**
and these.
**[47:26] ---**
Then I got a phone call
**[47:27] ---**
saying to come to the theater
where I first saw *Dumbo*.
**[47:31] ---**
After that, I found the theater by myself,
**[47:34] ---**
and I've been waiting here for my mom to come.
**[47:36] ---**
Your mom?
**[47:38] ---**
People usually watch *Dumbo*
with their moms, right?
**[47:41] ---**
So I figured that call must've been from Mom.
**[47:45] ---**
But you said I haven't seen
my mom since I was five, right?
**[47:53] ---**
So I guess that "concierge"
got this room for me, then?
**[47:57] ---**
But I don't remember
anything like that in your log.
**[48:01] ---**
Really?
**[48:09] ---**
"It's too dangerous to come back to Japan now.
**[48:12] ---**
Both of you hide out in the U.S. until the
dust settles. We'll back you up from here.
**[48:18] ---**
Wait for us to call."
**[48:20] ---**
What do they mean?
**[48:21] ---**
If your king request keeps moving forward,
**[48:24] ---**
you'll end up going back not just
as the illegitimate son of the PM,
**[48:29] ---**
but as the prime suspect
in the missile terrorism, too.
**[48:31] ---**
Hey, do you think maybe
I could cancel that order?
**[48:35] ---**
Let's try asking.
**[48:37] ---**
Huh?
**[48:40] ---**
Hello, this is Juiz!
**[48:41] ---**
--Hello?
--It's been so long!
**[48:44] ---**
I haven't heard from you
**[48:46] ---**
since I called the police station
while I was having you released!
**[48:48] ---**
Oh, that was you! I totally
thought you were my mom.
**[48:54] ---**
Since you're contacting me,
I take it everything is going well?
**[48:58] ---**
What a relief!
**[49:00] ---**
I guess. Um, about that...
**[49:03] ---**
I don't suppose I could cancel
that request to become king?
**[49:08] ---**
What?
**[49:09] ---**
But I thought you'd make a splendid king...
**[49:13] ---**
I'm a wee bit disappointed.
**[49:16] ---**
Was it that big a deal?
**[49:18] ---**
It is technically possible to cancel,
**[49:21] ---**
but if you do so, all matters
will be left as they are right now.
**[49:25] ---**
Is that all right?
**[49:27] ---**
Oh, I see. Well, that's no good...
**[49:32] ---**
I still think you should do it.
**[49:38] ---**
--Let me think it over.
--Huh?
**[49:40] ---**
Understood. Noblesse oblige.
**[49:43] ---**
I pray you shall continue to be a
splendid prince-- or rather, a savior.
**[49:49] ---**
Why?
**[49:51] ---**
Eh, I thought maybe I might as
well go the distance at this point.
**[49:56] ---**
"Maybe"...?
**[50:07] ---**
I suppose it's only natural
that Mrs. Iinuma feels this way...
**[50:21] ---**
Number 6's requests are as strange as ever.
**[50:31] ---**
I wonder if Number 9 realizes?
**[50:39] ---**
We don't have to eat cup ramen!
**[50:42] ---**
You guys forget the whole NEET spirit
the second I take my eyes off you.
**[50:47] ---**
Says the man who could only
live for two years as a shut-in
**[50:52] ---**
because his parents gave him an allowance!
**[50:54] ---**
That's what true NEET-ism is all about, duh.
**[51:01] ---**
Pretty soon it won't be so easy
to make it as a NEET anymore
**[51:03] ---**
just because your parents are well-off.
**[51:07] ---**
It sounds like that change in the
tax laws is close to going through.
**[51:13] ---**
You mean the one that's supposed
to make the death tax 100%?
**[51:17] ---**
We're gettin' hit with the fallout
**[51:18] ---**
of the country's value goin'
down after the missile incident.
**[51:21] ---**
But can such a crazy bill really pass easily?
**[51:25] ---**
It's only the young people
who aren't taking it seriously.
**[51:29] ---**
Lots of people are fooled,
**[51:31] ---**
since at first glance it seems like
they're getting rid of vested rights,
**[51:34] ---**
but the older generation's already
started spending their savings.
**[51:37] ---**
Indeed. My old man's doing his best
to make sure he doesn't leave me any.
**[51:44] ---**
Its supporters are saying
**[51:46] ---**
it'll increase consumption and
speed the economy's recovery,
**[51:49] ---**
but ultimately they just want
to put the screws on the NEETs.
**[51:53] ---**
Kazuomi's dad is playing right into their hands.
**[51:57] ---**
Isn't that just going to burden
the taxpayers in the end, anyway?!
**[52:01] ---**
I'm telling you, they've got no love!
**[52:08] ---**
Hey, Kasuga, your phone never hung up.
**[52:11] ---**
Huh? That doesn't make sense.
**[52:13] ---**
I'm ending the call.
**[52:20] ---**
Number 6 made a move!
**[52:31] ---**
Aw, man!
**[52:36] ---**
Ow, hot! Why did this thing turn itself on?
**[52:47] ---**
Hello?
**[52:49] ---**
Number 9?
**[52:52] ---**
Who are you?
**[52:54] ---**
You really don't remember me, then.
**[52:56] ---**
Huh?
**[52:57] ---**
More importantly, are you
in the shower right now?
**[53:00] ---**
Huh?! Where did *that* come from?
**[53:03] ---**
Just tell me.
**[53:06] ---**
No... not at the moment...
**[53:10] ---**
Then check your cell phone right now.
**[53:17] ---**
Who was that?
**[53:19] ---**
Beats me.
**[53:31] ---**
Rock on...
**[53:32] ---**
It's the subdued explosions that
actually seem the most real, huh?
**[53:36] ---**
This is right up there with Spielberg's *Munich*!
**[53:48] ---**
What are they doing there?!
**[53:51] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[53:53] ---**
I told you, the great movies throughout--
**[53:55] ---**
Not one great film has ever ended
**[53:57] ---**
with a shot of the leads getting
blown up in the bathroom.
**[54:01] ---**
That was my original touch.
**[54:04] ---**
Fine, I'll forgive you this
one time. Just tail them.
**[54:08] ---**
Not accepted. You are outside
of the effective range,
**[54:11] ---**
so I cannot pursue them in a timely manner.
**[54:15] ---**
Why, you...
**[54:24] ---**
Yeah, we're both fine.
**[54:27] ---**
I don't really get what happened, but
someone warned him about the bomb.
**[54:31] ---**
What? Who?
**[54:33] ---**
I don't know...
**[54:37] ---**
Anyway, we'll think up a way
to wire you money by tomorrow.
**[54:41] ---**
Use it to get out of New York.
**[54:43] ---**
Okay.
**[54:45] ---**
First things first: do you have
someplace to hide today?
**[54:48] ---**
We'll try going where Takizawa works for now.
**[54:51] ---**
He says he has a key.
**[55:21] ---**
This is the theater where I first saw *Dumbo*.
**[55:25] ---**
I'm impressed you made it
here on just that one clue!
**[55:29] ---**
Yeah, well...
**[55:31] ---**
Take this. Sometimes they turn
the AC up too high in here.
**[55:35] ---**
What about you?
**[55:36] ---**
We're in trouble if someone finds us,
so I'll keep watch in the lobby.
**[55:39] ---**
Holler if you need anything.
**[55:41] ---**
Wait.
**[55:46] ---**
Are you going to leave again?
**[55:58] ---**
Why do you think I was in Brooklyn today?
**[56:04] ---**
I've got no memories, yet I
have this weird "movie recall."
**[56:09] ---**
You said so too, right?
**[56:11] ---**
That's probably why I
managed to find this place.
**[56:13] ---**
But there was just one movie I couldn't
remember no matter how hard I tried.
**[56:18] ---**
A couple is temporarily separated, see.
**[56:21] ---**
But they'd photographed themselves
right in the middle of 9/11
**[56:24] ---**
with Ground Zero in the background.
**[56:26] ---**
The picture becomes the clue
that brings them back together.
**[56:32] ---**
I wanted so bad to remember
the title of that movie,
**[56:34] ---**
I went to Ground Zero every day.
**[56:37] ---**
But it turns out that wasn't
a scene in a movie, after all.
**[57:09] ---**
Wow, you're actually hacking
into people's local networks.
**[57:13] ---**
Won't you get in trouble for peeping
into business and school records?
**[57:17] ---**
It's a little late to be sayin' that!
**[57:20] ---**
We gotta go at this all-out,
**[57:22] ---**
and find everything down
to his graduation photos!
**[57:24] ---**
I found something!
**[57:33] ---**
Now I know why we couldn't find anything!
**[57:36] ---**
That damn Juiz!
**[57:38] ---**
Whenever she sees pre- "Akira linuma"
data on the net about him,
**[57:41] ---**
she changes it to Akira linuma!
**[57:44] ---**
Micchon! What's in Number 9's detail log?
**[57:48] ---**
Nothing like that...
**[57:53] ---**
It's gone?!
**[57:54] ---**
So while she erases Akira Takizawa's history,
**[57:57] ---**
she also erases the names in his detail log?
**[58:00] ---**
What, so data's been disappearing
without us knowing it all this time?!
**[58:05] ---**
Eh, chill out. I planned for this kind of thing.
**[58:09] ---**
I set things up so the phone
activity's transferred to my PC too,
**[58:12] ---**
and it gets instantly saved there!
**[58:15] ---**
And that's why we call you the master!
**[58:17] ---**
Stop it, you'll make me blush.
**[58:24] ---**
What?! A protection system
with attack capabilities?!
**[58:28] ---**
Have you ever seen anything like this, Micchon?!
**[58:30] ---**
Nuh-uh...
**[58:31] ---**
Micchon, try scrolling
back down Takky's detail log.
**[58:36] ---**
Look here.
**[58:38] ---**
"Hack into Eden of the East and
use the image search system"...
**[58:43] ---**
Underpants, Juiz is using the
Eden System to her own advantage
**[58:47] ---**
because *you* beefed up the search engine!
**[58:49] ---**
What?! That bitch!
**[58:51] ---**
At this rate, Akira linuma will
supplant Akira Takizawa completely.
**[59:22] ---**
This is called a "rovin' bug."
**[59:24] ---**
It's a way to remotely control cell phones
**[59:26] ---**
and listen to the surroundin' conversation.
**[59:30] ---**
I hear FBI types use 'em all the time.
**[59:33] ---**
Is a Seleção behind this?
**[59:36] ---**
No idea.
**[59:38] ---**
Well, Micchon? Anything left?
**[59:41] ---**
Yeah! Number 1's log says,
**[59:43] ---**
"Ask the MPD's Public Security division
**[59:45] ---**
to secretly investigate Eden of the East."
**[59:47] ---**
What?!
**[59:50] ---**
Just what does he want with Eden?
**[1:00:13] ---**
Takizawa?!
**[1:00:21] ---**
What's wrong?
**[1:00:26] ---**
Did you think I'd left?
**[1:00:39] ---**
You had this poster hanging
up in your theater, too.
**[1:00:44] ---**
I guess this is the formative imagery
for my memories about movies.
**[1:00:51] ---**
So, what now?
**[1:00:53] ---**
I think it'll still be a bit before the
money comes in from your friends.
**[1:00:57] ---**
I have enough cash for the Chinatown bus, but...
**[1:01:01] ---**
Want to take a little stroll
around New York, then?
**[1:01:05] ---**
But...
**[1:01:06] ---**
I get the feeling I lived in
this neighborhood as a kid.
**[1:01:11] ---**
And I'm curious about that room...
**[1:01:13] ---**
I want to find proof.
**[1:01:17] ---**
Before my past disappears.
**[1:01:22] ---**
Come to think of it, back then you
said there was no "gold ring," right?
**[1:01:27] ---**
Maybe that was...
**[1:01:35] ---**
This is Juiz.
**[1:01:37] ---**
Yo, no-obli.
**[1:01:39] ---**
I'm about to start something
interesting. Wanna hear about it?
**[1:01:41] ---**
By all means!
**[1:01:43] ---**
"The son of that hawkish PM
is the missile terrorist."
**[1:01:47] ---**
That's enough to cause a big stir, right?
**[1:01:50] ---**
But that alone can't save this country.
**[1:01:54] ---**
To save Japan, we just gotta
make victims of all its citizens
**[1:01:57] ---**
and give the whole nation an
excuse to bitch at other countries.
**[1:02:03] ---**
You get me, Juiz?
**[1:02:04] ---**
Yes, I get you, 2G.
**[1:02:07] ---**
These days, the victim has
all the power, am I right?
**[1:02:10] ---**
We live in an age where all you
gotta do is spill coffee in your lap
**[1:02:13] ---**
and you can sue for damages.
**[1:02:15] ---**
So we'll buy us a victim ticket and
get on that last train to popularity.
**[1:02:20] ---**
It'd be a shame to waste the NEETs' sit-in.
**[1:02:23] ---**
Let's have a nice, painless destruction.
**[1:02:25] ---**
Magnificent, 2G. I'm getting chills!
**[1:02:28] ---**
I know, right? The PM's son will
return to Japan in an Air King t-shirt.
**[1:02:34] ---**
The rest of Asia will totally blow a gasket
**[1:02:36] ---**
because they'll be afraid
of us turning militaristic.
**[1:02:40] ---**
Then if he's shot by a foreigner
right after he gets home,
**[1:02:44] ---**
it'll be a done deal.
**[1:02:46] ---**
Yes, 2G. I pray you'll always
be a cutting-edge savior.
**[1:02:52] ---**
By the way, how shall we
get him to wear the t-shirt?
**[1:03:18] ---**
I think that must be the
"gold ring" you were talking about!
**[1:03:24] ---**
I did a bunch of research afterward,
**[1:03:28] ---**
and found out that Japanese
merry-go-rounds don't have them.
**[1:03:34] ---**
Apparently, most of the U.S.
ones don't anymore, either,
**[1:03:38] ---**
but they did up until the late 80s.
**[1:03:47] ---**
If you grab that ring, you can
ride the merry-go-round again.
**[1:04:00] ---**
I get it...
**[1:04:02] ---**
So if I was here as a kid,
I'd probably know about that.
**[1:04:12] ---**
You couldn't get it?
**[1:04:25] ---**
Aw, it's over already?
**[1:04:28] ---**
You take another spin.
I'll watch you from over there.
**[1:04:32] ---**
When did you...?!
**[1:04:44] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[1:04:46] ---**
she had me doing nothing but watching
movies all by myself back then...
**[1:04:51] ---**
So I was really happy when she took me
to the park instead of the movie theater.
**[1:04:55] ---**
I reached for that ring with everything I had,
**[1:04:58] ---**
so that I'd never have to
get off the merry-go-round.
**[1:05:01] ---**
Then when I caught it, I shouted,
"I did it, Mom!" and waved to her...
**[1:05:13] ---**
Yeah, I remember my mom
was watching me from here.
**[1:05:19] ---**
But she hated movies, so the only one
she watched with me was *Dumbo*.
**[1:05:28] ---**
Takizawa, you're going to get wet!
**[1:05:31] ---**
It's okay, I want to keep watching you from here.
**[1:05:40] ---**
Target sighted. He's in front of the carousel.
**[1:05:52] ---**
I finally found you! Damn you,
getting friendly all by yourselves...
**[1:06:08] ---**
Is this...?
**[1:06:14] ---**
I remembered stuff from my life
in New York, thanks to you.
**[1:06:19] ---**
What?
**[1:06:44] ---**
Hurry up and get in!
**[1:07:07] ---**
Are you the one who called me yesterday, too?
**[1:07:10] ---**
Yes. Prime Minister linuma's
wife sent me to fetch you
**[1:07:14] ---**
in the utmost secrecy.
**[1:07:16] ---**
Huh?
**[1:07:18] ---**
The Seleção aren't the only ones
displeased about your "king" request.
**[1:07:23] ---**
Both her husband's good name
and her own pride have been sullied,
**[1:07:28] ---**
and she hates you passionately for that.
**[1:07:31] ---**
Then why take Takizawa to her?
**[1:07:34] ---**
Mrs. Iinuma wishes to ask
your intentions in person.
**[1:07:41] ---**
And I'd like to see what sort of king you make.
**[1:07:58] ---**
What now? I erased the new search engine, but...
**[1:08:05] ---**
Let's shut the Eden of the East system down.
**[1:08:08] ---**
That should buy us a little time.
**[1:08:10] ---**
Huh?!
**[1:08:12] ---**
How much longer will that get us?
**[1:08:20] ---**
We should have about 48 hours.
**[1:08:24] ---**
I guess this proves how brilliant our system is.
**[1:08:40] ---**
Hirasawa, at this point,
the Eden of the East system
**[1:08:43] ---**
is essential public infrastructure,
**[1:08:46] ---**
not just something for the 20,000
idle intelligentsia living in Toyosu!
**[1:08:50] ---**
We have no choice. Micchon!
**[1:08:53] ---**
I switched over to wireless LAN.
**[1:09:01] ---**
Farewell, Eden of the East.
**[1:09:13] ---**
Hirasawa...
**[1:09:15] ---**
Kasuga, I'm sure you'll get a flood
of complaints about the downtime,
**[1:09:18] ---**
but it's just a temporary measure.
Don't let it get to you.
**[1:09:22] ---**
But Hirasawa poured his blood and
sweat and snot into Eden of the East!
**[1:09:28] ---**
You could've left the "snot" part out!
**[1:09:31] ---**
Kazuomi, we can't support Saki and
Takky this way. What should we do?
**[1:09:37] ---**
I have a proposal!
**[1:09:39] ---**
Given that we're under police surveillance here,
**[1:09:41] ---**
why not relocate our headquarters entirely?
**[1:09:46] ---**
Relocate it *where*?
**[1:09:47] ---**
Sir, I secured our college club
room for just such an occasion!
**[1:09:52] ---**
And the old Eden system is still there, after all!
**[1:09:56] ---**
That settles it. It's the perfect
place to help Vintage Boy from.
**[1:10:03] ---**
So it would seem.
**[1:10:06] ---**
We've got an email from Saki.
**[1:10:08] ---**
"We're heading for the airport.
**[1:10:11] ---**
Sorry for the sudden notice,
but Takizawa is coming back to Japan."
**[1:10:15] ---**
What the heck?!
**[1:10:25] ---**
I'm afraid this is as far as you come.
**[1:10:38] ---**
Hey, what does this mean?
**[1:10:41] ---**
Number 1 is launching a missile...
**[1:10:46] ---**
Juiz? Tell me what's going on at
the place in Number 1's detail log.
**[1:11:30] ---**
Juiz, launch the other two missiles for me.
**[1:11:35] ---**
Accepted. Noblesse oblige.
**[1:11:38] ---**
I pray you shall be an unbeatable
"raze and rebuild" savior.
**[1:12:03] ---**
My number's gone dark, too!
**[1:12:07] ---**
Hey, Juiz? Juiz!
**[1:12:14] ---**
Did Mr. Mononobe find Juiz
and destroy her with that missile?
**[1:12:22] ---**
But my request has already been
half accepted too, Mr. Mononobe.
**[1:12:27] ---**
Your ideal isn't the way this nation wants to be.
**[1:12:40] ---**
Yuki! Weren't you eliminated by the Supporter?!
**[1:12:45] ---**
I "eliminated" myself by
breaking my Noblesse phone,
**[1:12:50] ---**
so I could get my revenge.
**[1:13:15] ---**
Juiz, there's something urgent
I'd like you to do for me.
**[1:13:19] ---**
What might that be?
**[1:13:23] ---**
Could you move the third trailer
in the convoy to the front?
**[1:13:26] ---**
Yes, of course!
**[1:13:28] ---**
Then please do.
**[1:13:30] ---**
Accepted! Noblesse oblige.
**[1:13:33] ---**
I pray you shall still be my
splendid savior tomorrow.
**[1:13:53] ---**
Hurry, Juiz...
**[1:14:15] ---**
Juiz, you were far and away the
most brilliant assistant I ever had.
**[1:14:23] ---**
Number 9! I can't be your
guardian angel anymore.
**[1:14:30] ---**
Number 1 is wrapping up the game.
**[1:14:33] ---**
But I've placed my bet on you.
**[1:14:38] ---**
Keep your promise, won't you?
**[1:14:41] ---**
Promise?
**[1:14:43] ---**
I pray you shall be a king who
likes to lend a helping hand.
**[1:14:48] ---**
--Go.
--Huh?
**[1:14:50] ---**
Go do something to help him!
**[1:15:01] ---**
Kuroha...
**[1:15:08] ---**
Saki, I'm going home to Japan.
**[1:15:11] ---**
What?
**[1:15:34] ---**
Ato is such trouble.
**[1:15:36] ---**
If the public finds out about *it*,
**[1:15:38] ---**
the political fuss will be the least of our worries.
**[1:15:42] ---**
That's one reason we need to
sacrifice Mr. Iinuma's son, Sir.
**[1:15:47] ---**
Well, you're the man who
stopped the sixty missiles.
**[1:15:51] ---**
I'm confident you'll bring the
situation under control nicely.
**[1:15:55] ---**
For the 65 years since the war,
**[1:15:57] ---**
we've let other countries
do our decision-making.
**[1:15:59] ---**
I swear to break us free from
this culture of dependence.
**[1:16:03] ---**
You have an outstanding
ability to gather information
**[1:16:05] ---**
and intimate knowledge
of the bureaucratic machine.
**[1:16:09] ---**
I can see the old Home Ministry
rising to power again before my eyes.
**[1:16:12] ---**
I'll even say "Uncle" again if need be.
**[1:16:46] ---**
*Break through the writhing darkness*
**[1:16:56] ---**
*And strike the stagnation within it*
**[1:17:07] ---**
*Calculations, conservatism, arbitrary rules*
**[1:17:12] ---**
*Warped facts, expectations-- delete it all*
**[1:17:16] ---**
*Track down what's nipping
our proper future in the bud*
**[1:17:26] ---**
*I'll take your hand and set
out for a bright tomorrow*
**[1:17:33] ---**
*Bringing the shadows along, too*
**[1:17:36] ---**
*Because I'm sure even the cold, dark rain*
**[1:17:43] ---**
*Means salvation to someone*
**[1:17:47] ---**
*If we bring parallel lines
together, they'll form a circle*
**[1:17:54] ---**
*Change it all to light*
**[1:17:57] ---**
*In this world audibly veering off course*
**[1:18:07] ---**
*The swarm of SOS calls drains me*
**[1:18:19] ---**
*Reality and the future
are too close to see in focus*
**[1:18:24] ---**
*We can still reach out our
hands in search of the answer*
**[1:18:29] ---**
*I listen closely among the
buds of our proper future*
**[1:18:39] ---**
*And wait, praying to the
yet-unseen world for light*
**[1:18:46] ---**
*While privately feeling a little unease*
**[1:18:49] ---**
*I'm sure even if one day I get tired
and want to just wipe out everything*
**[1:18:59] ---**
*Your voice will call me back from the edge*
**[1:19:47] ---**
*There, take a good look:*
**[1:19:52] ---**
*A little change in the wind
blows all the clouds away*
**[1:19:58] ---**
*I may falter, but I can make my
way to where the arrows point*
**[1:20:04] ---**
*To the tomorrow they point out*
**[1:20:08] ---**
*I'm sure that beyond this
twisted world lies a tiny light*
**[1:20:18] ---**
*Even if it's not a paradise
where all dreams come true*
**[1:20:24] ---**
*You're here*
**[1:20:28] ---**
*The wind is gently nudging me forward
(The self I was before today
is nudging me forward)*
**[1:20:38] ---**
*Yes, if you've joined up
the ends of the parallel lines*
**[1:20:46] ---**
*They'll form a circle of light*

**[00:57] ---**
J-Johnny?!
**[01:09] ---**
Stop it...
**[01:14] ---**
Stop it!
**[01:25] ---**
Takizawa... what's wrong?
**[01:37] ---**
I'm gonna punch you out for sure.
**[01:44] ---**
What's the matter, Sir?
**[02:15] ---**
*I'm getting swept up in the crowd*
**[02:18] ---**
*My senses are unraveling*
**[02:22] ---**
*Within this transparent darkness*
**[02:25] ---**
*I am free and unfree*
**[02:27] ---**
*I can't end like this*
**[02:30] ---**
*I haven't gotten hold of the future
I've been waiting so longingly for*
**[02:35] ---**
*Escape routes are beckoning me*
**[02:38] ---**
*I shake my head and start running*
**[02:41] ---**
*Spin the roulette wheel this instant, that's right*
**[02:45] ---**
*I'll bet on the future yet unseen*
**[02:49] ---**
*Taking a big breath and changing
which way the wind blows*
**[02:56] ---**
*A dream almost too elaborate to wake from*
**[03:03] ---**
*A tomorrow almost too exciting to wait for*
**[03:11] ---**
*If the game isn't over yet*
**[03:14] ---**
*I can give it as many shots as I want*
**[03:18] ---**
*Be reborn and head for the future I desire*
**[03:21] ---**
*I'll wave goodbye to yesterday right now*
**[03:25] ---**
*The victor of repeated self-questioning*
**[03:29] ---**
*Peered into the distance*
**[03:32] ---**
*And beyond the darkness
of an undirected tomorrow*
**[03:35] ---**
*Saw a ring of light*
**[03:38] ---**
*The future about to begin is bound to be fragile*
**[03:42] ---**
*I know sometimes it'll run empty and snap*
**[03:45] ---**
*But when that happens,
I'll just cut a new deck of cards*
**[03:50] ---**
*And grab hold of it*
**[04:13] ---**
I don't think you should wear that t-shirt...
**[04:17] ---**
Nah, it's okay.
**[04:18] ---**
I think I kind of get why Seleção
Number 2 wanted me to wear it.
**[04:40] ---**
You're Akira linuma?
**[04:44] ---**
Yeah...
**[04:54] ---**
My name is Chigusa linuma.
I am Seijiro linuma's wife.
**[05:23] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:26] ---**
What do you have to do with
the missile incident yesterday?
**[05:29] ---**
"Missile incident"?
**[05:31] ---**
Oh, *that*! Apparently, I was
supposed to be one of the targets.
**[05:36] ---**
I see.
**[05:38] ---**
So you admit you're with the terrorists.
**[05:42] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:44] ---**
The government has announced
that the episode last night
**[05:47] ---**
was their preemptive attack against
the terrorists behind Careless Monday.
**[05:53] ---**
But... why would they say that?
**[05:56] ---**
Is this another part of Mr. Mononobe's request?
**[05:59] ---**
In any event, you are nothing but
a blasphemy against Seijiro linuma.
**[06:07] ---**
Japan is falling from grace
at an unheard-of speed,
**[06:11] ---**
and he stood up to help
this country out of its plight.
**[06:14] ---**
He died as an honored patriot.
**[06:17] ---**
And you chose that time to
declare yourself his illegitimate son!
**[06:22] ---**
I'll expose the truth about that
and all your other crimes,
**[06:24] ---**
so prepare yourself!
**[06:27] ---**
Have this DNA tested.
**[06:45] ---**
I'm sorry. It looks like I can't
go the rest of the way with you.
**[06:50] ---**
So, I have a favor to ask you...
**[06:56] ---**
I want you to look for my mom.
**[06:59] ---**
What?
**[07:00] ---**
I saw her on Careless Monday!
**[07:04] ---**
I'm pretty sure it was at Aomonoyokocho.
**[07:08] ---**
There was this woman among the people
we were evacuating who had a mini Shiba.
**[07:12] ---**
And I think that was my mom.
**[07:15] ---**
Then that mini Shiba is...?
**[07:19] ---**
I think she recognized me,
**[07:21] ---**
and that's why she panicked
and ran away without her dog.
**[07:25] ---**
Because I looked around the shelters
for her later, but she wasn't there.
**[07:30] ---**
Takizawa, did you get your memories back?!
**[07:33] ---**
Hmm? Well, the "Akira Takizawa" part, anyway.
**[07:38] ---**
So, would you do that for me?
**[07:42] ---**
I'll try.
**[07:44] ---**
Thanks. Okay, I'm counting on you!
**[07:46] ---**
Whoops. I almost forgot.
**[07:54] ---**
This is...
**[07:56] ---**
A memento of our time together in New York.
**[08:02] ---**
I'll be in touch!
**[08:29] ---**
Saki!
**[08:33] ---**
Where's Takizawa?
**[08:35] ---**
Prime Minister linuma's supporters
dragged him off somewhere.
**[08:39] ---**
Huh?
**[08:40] ---**
Thanks to that, it looks like the
media hasn't found him, but...
**[08:44] ---**
They're sure a big crowd, huh?
**[08:47] ---**
It sounds like some of them have been
**[08:49] ---**
staking out the place since
word got out two days ago.
**[08:52] ---**
For now, let's just get out of here.
**[08:54] ---**
You've got some fame of your own, after all.
**[09:03] ---**
I have to tell Hirasawa
about Takizawa's mother!
**[09:07] ---**
Oh, hold on. If you're going to use
your cell, download Airship first.
**[09:13] ---**
This is an IP phone Itazu made.
**[09:16] ---**
See, their phones are all being
tapped by Public Security,
**[09:20] ---**
so they said to use this thing
whenever we need to contact them.
**[09:22] ---**
Tapped?!
**[09:24] ---**
It looks like the police want
to frame Eden of the East itself
**[09:27] ---**
as a terrorist group involved
in the missile attacks.
**[09:31] ---**
What?
**[09:34] ---**
Okay, I'll go get the car!
**[09:45] ---**
Hello. Is this Saki?
**[09:48] ---**
Ah, I see. You were running late,
so I was worried.
**[09:53] ---**
So, how's Takizawa?
**[09:59] ---**
I see.
**[10:00] ---**
Got it. As things stand, though,
we can't use the Eden System.
**[10:05] ---**
We'll have to use the old system
preserved in our college club room...
**[10:11] ---**
Yeah. We'll send you a
password so you can get into it.
**[10:15] ---**
Okay. Thanks. I'll call you later.
**[10:18] ---**
Let's see... next is...
**[10:31] ---**
Yes, hello?
**[10:33] ---**
Saki?! What's wrong?
**[10:37] ---**
What? You're back already?
**[10:43] ---**
What, *now*? I can't believe you!
**[10:47] ---**
What did she say?
**[10:48] ---**
She's asking us to bring her the mini Shiba.
**[10:52] ---**
Saki, you know how early
bakers have to get up!
**[11:00] ---**
Yeah. I'm sorry. Okay, I'll be waiting.
**[11:04] ---**
They're going to bring the dog?
**[11:06] ---**
--Yeah.
--Oh, good.
**[11:09] ---**
So, I just tried doing an image search.
**[11:13] ---**
Look at this.
**[11:20] ---**
"Ask Public Security to secretly
investigate Eden of the East"?!
**[11:24] ---**
This is not good...
**[11:26] ---**
And Mr. Mononobe will
probably attack Juiz again, too...
**[11:34] ---**
Kuroha protected me once,
**[11:38] ---**
but if I don't pull off this one on my own,
I won't be able to save everyone.
**[11:48] ---**
What should I do? If I use Juiz,
everyone'll know where I am...
**[12:03] ---**
O-Okada...!
**[12:05] ---**
No, *Takizawa*!
**[12:07] ---**
Found you!
**[12:10] ---**
Actually, I'm Akira linuma right now...
**[12:13] ---**
I know! And what's the deal?!
First you're the Air King, then the PM's son?!
**[12:18] ---**
And to top it off, you call *us* to the airport, too!
**[12:21] ---**
What are you up to this time, eh?!
It better not be another nudefest!
**[12:27] ---**
Wait, are you one of the 20,000 NEETs?
**[12:30] ---**
So does that mean Number 2
assembled you guys here?
**[12:34] ---**
What are you talking about?
We're up shit creek thanks to you!
**[12:39] ---**
One second people were calling us
"AKX20000" and showering us with attention,
**[12:42] ---**
and then in no time everybody was
saying we were "so five minutes ago"!
**[12:45] ---**
I would've been better off just staying a NEET.
**[12:48] ---**
You better take responsibility!
**[12:50] ---**
Actually, I kind of don't think that's my fault...
**[12:54] ---**
Oh, it is too your fault!
**[12:56] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[12:58] ---**
In that case, would you do me one more favor?
**[13:04] ---**
Things had better get interesting again.
**[13:07] ---**
Y-Yeah, I think they will...
**[13:14] ---**
How long are you gonna make me wait?
**[13:16] ---**
The press and the NEETs are
on our trail, so hurry it up!
**[13:27] ---**
That's right, keep your face hidden.
**[13:47] ---**
I sent Takizawa the Airship file.
**[13:50] ---**
Oh, and I'm seeing some activity in his log!
**[13:55] ---**
What is this? He's ordering
business cards and leasing an office?
**[13:59] ---**
Wait, "Request campaign strategy
from advertising agency"?
**[14:03] ---**
And that's not all.
**[14:05] ---**
He's buying up tickets to fundraisers
for the ruling *and* opposition parties,
**[14:07] ---**
and he's throwing money at the
leading figures in politics and business.
**[14:11] ---**
It's what they call "buying votes."
**[14:13] ---**
So now he's preparing for his debut
as a second-generation politician, eh?
**[14:19] ---**
Oh, it's Takizawa.
**[14:21] ---**
Hello.
**[14:23] ---**
Yes, I know. Saki contacted us.
**[14:26] ---**
Then maybe it's safe to assume you
know more about my situation than I do.
**[14:31] ---**
Like yesterday's missiles, for instance?
**[14:34] ---**
Right. If Number 11 hadn't taken my place,
**[14:38] ---**
it'd be game over by now.
**[14:41] ---**
But I can't let this game end yet.
**[14:44] ---**
So I want to secure my Juiz somehow.
**[14:47] ---**
I know. We've already cast
our lot in with yours, after all.
**[14:53] ---**
All right, I'm turning you over to the
man closest to the answers you want.
**[15:01] ---**
It's me, Vintage Boy. So you're okay?
**[15:04] ---**
Itazu! Long time no see!
**[15:07] ---**
Skip the small talk. I've been
investigatin' Number 12's history,
**[15:12] ---**
so I knew he'd ordered gasoline and drivers,
**[15:17] ---**
but I didn't realize he was havin' 'em
drive forever on the expressway.
**[15:21] ---**
So I ended up lettin' that slick-haired
scum Number 1 steal a march on me...
**[15:26] ---**
But after checkin' the footage
**[15:28] ---**
of every single camera on the
Chuo Expressway, startin' last night,
**[15:31] ---**
I confirmed that the trailers, which
were just wanderin' around at first,
**[15:35] ---**
formed a caravan along
the up route a few hours ago.
**[15:39] ---**
Wow, you really are good!
**[15:41] ---**
You flatter me, but it's true.
**[15:43] ---**
Anyway, Trailer Number 9 just passed
through the exit at Kawasaki-Ukishima.
**[15:49] ---**
Considerin' the distance and
time they've traveled so far,
**[15:52] ---**
I reckon they'll fuel up and
switch drivers pretty soon.
**[15:56] ---**
Which means...?
**[15:58] ---**
It's a good bet the Juizes
are headin' to Umihotaru next!
**[16:01] ---**
"Umihotaru"?
**[16:04] ---**
There you have it.
**[16:05] ---**
Well? What will you do now?
**[16:09] ---**
I'll try making my way to Umihotaru.
**[16:11] ---**
I mean, without Juiz,
I'm just a man with no memory.
**[16:17] ---**
If you're "just a man," what are we?
**[16:21] ---**
Public Security coming after us
made me realize this all over again:
**[16:23] ---**
you're really something.
**[16:26] ---**
Because even after getting mixed up in all this,
**[16:28] ---**
you're still out there on
your own fighting like hell.
**[16:31] ---**
But *this* time, we'll all sink or swim together.
**[16:34] ---**
We're prepared to share
your fate, whatever it is.
**[16:36] ---**
I'll head to Umihotaru now.
Let's meet up there.
**[16:40] ---**
Are you sure? If you guys
get involved any further,
**[16:43] ---**
you won't be able to go
back to your normal lives.
**[16:46] ---**
That ought to be my line.
**[16:48] ---**
And what's more, NEETs don't
*have* normal everyday lives.
**[16:55] ---**
Okay, then. Let's meet at Umihotaru.
**[17:15] ---**
Hiya!
**[17:25] ---**
You can uncover your face now.
**[17:31] ---**
Ta-da!
**[17:37] ---**
--Wh-Who are you?!
--Total success!
**[17:39] ---**
Did you see that?! Yeah, I'm that good!
**[17:51] ---**
It's a little too late to turn back--
you'll never find him now!
**[17:54] ---**
Suck on that!
**[18:15] ---**
Hey there!
**[18:21] ---**
Sorry, traffic was bad...
**[18:24] ---**
You seem busy, but you should still
show your face at home once in a while.
**[18:28] ---**
--Yeah...
--Here's the dog.
**[18:36] ---**
I'll explain what happened today when I can.
**[18:40] ---**
Don't you worry about us.
**[18:44] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:49] ---**
So she's finally found something
she can really devote herself to, eh?
**[18:58] ---**
Well, well, you work as fast as ever.
**[19:01] ---**
Okay, the guy I told you about is on his way,
**[19:04] ---**
so be ready with a nice lukewarm welcome.
**[19:07] ---**
Right, he looks like a madman,
but he's a good guy at heart.
**[19:12] ---**
Go ahead and give him the goods.
**[19:16] ---**
Right, exactly! That's totally okay.
**[19:19] ---**
All right, I'll leave it to you.
**[19:30] ---**
"That lettering on his back saying,
'Hey Outside, shoot some more!'
**[19:34] ---**
might as well have read,
'The missiles were launched from abroad.'"
**[19:39] ---**
"That linuma-ism we remember from
'the rightist PM' is alive and well here," eh?
**[19:44] ---**
Not bad! Things are sizzling now.
**[19:46] ---**
Number 9 probably thinks he's
directing that t-shirt at Outside,
**[19:52] ---**
but that's not what the world thinks.
**[19:59] ---**
Give me a break, man!
I thought you were asleep.
**[20:03] ---**
You're going to keep playing even
though your Juiz was destroyed?
**[20:07] ---**
My pride is on the line in this battle.
**[20:11] ---**
I see...
**[20:14] ---**
I've got it ready for you, so get going.
**[20:19] ---**
That's enough money for the moment
and the address you're going to.
**[20:24] ---**
Thanks. I'll return the favor one day.
**[20:27] ---**
Nah... don't sweat it.
**[20:37] ---**
What now?
**[20:56] ---**
Annie?!
**[21:00] ---**
I'm so glad you're back!
**[21:09] ---**
So your dog's name is "Angelika"?
**[21:14] ---**
Yeah. A good name, right?
**[21:20] ---**
And? You think I'm the
missile terrorist's mother?
**[21:25] ---**
Not a chance.
**[21:28] ---**
Think about it for a second.
**[21:30] ---**
He only lived with his mother in
New York until he was five, right?
**[21:35] ---**
There's nothing more unreliable
than childhood memories.
**[21:39] ---**
Then why did you leave your dog
behind and run on Careless Monday?
**[21:45] ---**
I ran away because they told me to.
**[21:48] ---**
It saved my life, but let me tell you,
the apartment I lived in was trashed.
**[21:55] ---**
Have you ever been to New York?
**[21:57] ---**
Yep. On one long vacation.
**[22:01] ---**
Did you stay at the Gramercy?
**[22:04] ---**
Yes.
**[22:05] ---**
There's a movie theater
near there called the Angelika.
**[22:08] ---**
That's the same as your dog's name.
Is that a coincidence?
**[22:13] ---**
Probably.
**[22:17] ---**
Well then, do you have any children?
**[22:22] ---**
I suppose I did, once.
**[22:24] ---**
When was that?
**[22:34] ---**
He told me that when he was five,
his mother abandoned him in Japan.
**[22:39] ---**
What?
**[22:42] ---**
She gave him just a little bit of money,
**[22:44] ---**
and by the time he looked back from
the register of the department store,
**[22:47] ---**
she was gone.
**[23:06] ---**
Excuse me, but I'd like to use your restroom...
**[23:10] ---**
Over there.
**[23:18] ---**
Ouch!
**[23:28] ---**
Hey, this is her. What a looker...
**[23:32] ---**
That guy behind her is--?!
**[23:41] ---**
Saki, look.
**[23:46] ---**
This is...!
**[23:47] ---**
Yeah. I think it's her from her younger days.
**[23:50] ---**
Now take a look at who's behind her.
**[23:54] ---**
Prime Minister linuma?
**[23:57] ---**
Then I'm not wrong, huh?
**[23:59] ---**
What does this mean?
**[24:01] ---**
Basically, the thing about Takizawa
being linuma's illegitimate son
**[24:07] ---**
might not be something Juiz
cooked up-- it might be true!
**[24:18] ---**
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but wasn't the original plan
**[24:21] ---**
for Public Security to arrest the man
who launched the missiles and his cohorts,
**[24:24] ---**
and tie this whole thing up nice and neat?
**[24:29] ---**
Yes.
**[24:31] ---**
And didn't you set that up
with Mr. Ato's little phone?
**[24:36] ---**
And yet, I'm now starting to hear
rumors that he really is linuma's son.
**[24:44] ---**
You don't say.
**[24:45] ---**
What's more, thanks to that t-shirt,
**[24:48] ---**
neighboring countries are
beginning to reproach us,
**[24:51] ---**
saying the son of a hawkish PM is
blustering about that being a foreign attack.
**[24:57] ---**
I'll look into all of those things.
No need to worry, Sir.
**[25:01] ---**
Mononobe...
**[25:04] ---**
I believe I've put quite a bit of work
**[25:06] ---**
into the 100% inheritance tax bill and
the reestablishment of the Home Ministry.
**[25:12] ---**
I know, Sir.
**[25:14] ---**
Then perhaps it's time for
slightly more extreme measures.
**[25:23] ---**
That must be it!
**[25:29] ---**
Yes, hello, this is Mononobe.
**[25:32] ---**
It turns out there's a possibility
that Mr. Seijiro linuma
**[25:35] ---**
had a lover about twenty years ago.
**[25:38] ---**
Could you investigate?
**[25:46] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[25:47] ---**
Is that something you learned during
your recent investigation in New York?
**[25:53] ---**
Yes.
**[25:55] ---**
Yes. So it was Mr. Iinuma himself who
kept that hotel room reserved, then.
**[26:01] ---**
It was empty until *he* came six months ago,
but it was paid for all along.
**[26:07] ---**
Understood. I'll leave it to you.
**[26:13] ---**
Juiz, I'd like to place a call to the Regional
Tax Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division...
**[26:22] ---**
Umihotaru?
**[26:30] ---**
Oh, it's from Grandfather.
**[26:35] ---**
Where are the trailer drivers?
**[26:38] ---**
I'm having them take a break in the rest area.
**[26:40] ---**
They did drive nonstop from Yamanashi.
**[26:43] ---**
So did we, you know.
**[26:46] ---**
What did Grandfather say?
**[26:49] ---**
That we're taking these measures
only to keep the game progressing,
**[26:54] ---**
so we're supposed to behave
just like we always have:
**[26:57] ---**
never interfering with any request.
**[26:59] ---**
We know that already! After all,
we aren't Seleção or Juiz.
**[27:04] ---**
"Just the kids who shag the baseballs."
**[27:06] ---**
Right?
**[27:08] ---**
But what if Number 1 orders
another missile attack right now?
**[27:13] ---**
We'll be dead meat!
**[27:15] ---**
Wanna just hide them somewhere on our own?
**[27:22] ---**
We can't. We'd be violating
Grandfather's orders.
**[27:26] ---**
Plus, I doubt Number 1
can launch a missile *here*.
**[27:40] ---**
Say, isn't that Seleção Number 9?
**[27:45] ---**
You're right!
**[28:01] ---**
This is Juiz. Number 9, you seem to be
within the system's effective range!
**[28:08] ---**
Yep.
**[28:14] ---**
Actually, I'm right next to you. Can't you tell?
**[28:18] ---**
What?
**[28:20] ---**
I'm afraid I'm not equipped
with a sense of touch,
**[28:23] ---**
so that's a bit beyond me.
**[28:26] ---**
Oh. Sheesh, and I was planning
on surprising you, too!
**[28:30] ---**
It's a shame.
**[28:31] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[28:33] ---**
Nothing to apologize for!
**[28:35] ---**
But... I finally got to meet you.
**[28:38] ---**
Number 9, what brought you here to see me?
**[28:41] ---**
Well, there was a missile attack on
you guys, so I came to rescue you.
**[28:47] ---**
You didn't know that, either?
**[28:48] ---**
No, I didn't. So, how will you
protect me from more missiles?
**[28:53] ---**
Good question. I haven't actually
thought through any strategies.
**[29:02] ---**
Hey, Number 1 just asked
for his trailer to be moved!
**[29:08] ---**
So this time, he plans to steal just his own Juiz?
**[29:17] ---**
Juiz, would you make it so I can
drive a trailer? Like in *The Matrix*!
**[29:23] ---**
Pardon?
**[29:25] ---**
Number 9, you're already
licensed to drive all vehicle classes,
**[29:28] ---**
from Heavy down to Motorcycle.
**[29:31] ---**
Huh? I am?!
**[29:36] ---**
It's true!
**[29:38] ---**
Okay, Juiz, I just had a great idea.
**[29:49] ---**
Now Number 9 is doing it?
**[29:51] ---**
But it's not in his activity log.
**[29:54] ---**
Does that mean he's driving it himself?
**[29:56] ---**
Oh, I get it-- to keep from getting blown up,
**[29:59] ---**
he just has to stick with Number 1's trailer!
**[30:02] ---**
That's my Number 9!
**[30:07] ---**
Should we tell Grandfather about this?
**[30:11] ---**
Hmm... that's a violation of the rules, too.
**[30:14] ---**
Because it's something he's
doing without Juiz's help.
**[30:17] ---**
So the other Seleção have no way of knowing--
**[30:21] ---**
and that goes for Grandfather, too.
**[30:25] ---**
Good point.
**[30:30] ---**
Huh?! He says he's driving Juiz!
**[30:33] ---**
Yep. It looks like that Number 1
guy is headed into town...
**[30:38] ---**
Where are you guys right now?
**[30:42] ---**
We're in the tunnel.
**[30:45] ---**
For real? I am, too!
**[30:49] ---**
So are you driving through the
tunnel right next to ours, then?
**[30:56] ---**
Tell him we'll contact him again
after we U-turn at Umihotaru.
**[31:01] ---**
You heard him.
**[31:04] ---**
Hijacking Juiz, eh? He never changes.
**[31:07] ---**
Number 3?
**[31:09] ---**
"Sweets for Saizo"?
**[31:12] ---**
"Saizo"... as in Saizo Ato?
**[31:29] ---**
If I had Yuki, I could send him
to pay a visit in advance...
**[31:38] ---**
Juiz, I'd like you to pass on a
message to this sweets parlor.
**[31:55] ---**
So I'm not Japanese anymore.
**[32:01] ---**
Are you two going to pack it in
anytime soon? I want to close up shop.
**[32:06] ---**
U-Um...
**[32:07] ---**
Two more mango lassis, please.
**[32:16] ---**
Great, it sounds like you've
brought me some unwanted guests.
**[32:22] ---**
No way will the tab for
your drinks be worth this.
**[32:30] ---**
Right. Right. Yep, I was just
lookin' at the same entry.
**[32:39] ---**
According to the detail log, he's in Tokyo,
**[32:43] ---**
but doesn't Number 3 live in Fukuoka?
**[32:48] ---**
What's the problem, Kasuga?
**[32:51] ---**
Master, I think Public Security
may have had us all along.
**[32:58] ---**
Until a few years ago,
this room was the stronghold
**[33:00] ---**
for a group of extremist students called
the "Eastern Federation of Revolutionaries."
**[33:04] ---**
Putting that together
with our current situation...
**[33:07] ---**
It would be a cinch to frame Eden of
the East as a terrorist organization.
**[33:16] ---**
You're wanted for trespassing
**[33:19] ---**
and aiding and abetting subversive activities!
**[33:21] ---**
Come out of there right now!
**[33:26] ---**
What is it, Underpants?
**[33:28] ---**
Hey, Underpa--
**[33:32] ---**
I have a hiding place ready
for just this sort of occasion.
**[33:39] ---**
This way.
**[33:42] ---**
Looks pretty cramped for two people.
**[33:51] ---**
Hey.
**[34:30] ---**
Kasuga, did you dig this tunnel?
**[34:35] ---**
It's a magic trick!
**[34:38] ---**
All right, actually, during the
All-Campus Joint Struggle Committee era,
**[34:42] ---**
the Eastern Federation of Revolutionaries
dug this tunnel on sect orders,
**[34:46] ---**
aiming far to the east in an effort
to join the Narita Airport protests.
**[34:52] ---**
I see. To think some tunnel built
for baby boomers to play militant in
**[34:57] ---**
is savin' my ass...
**[35:00] ---**
We're using the legacy of
that despicable generation
**[35:02] ---**
to outwit our enemies.
**[35:04] ---**
I'm getting a big kick out of this!
**[35:07] ---**
Still, I dunno if we had to go
actively acceptin' this inheritance...
**[35:30] ---**
Glad to see you back, Takizawa!
**[35:33] ---**
Takky!
**[35:34] ---**
Hey, long time no see.
**[35:36] ---**
How've you been, Mittan?
**[35:39] ---**
I'm not "Mittan."
**[35:41] ---**
You guys haven't changed a bit.
**[35:44] ---**
Okay, I'll jump right into it:
that driver's taking a break.
**[35:48] ---**
So Hirasawa, you snag Trailer 1 and drive it.
**[35:52] ---**
See, even on the off chance more
missiles get launched, Trailer 1 is safe.
**[35:55] ---**
H-Hey! I can't drive Heavy-class vehicles!
**[35:59] ---**
I managed it, so you'll be fine!
**[36:02] ---**
I don't know about this...
**[36:05] ---**
I just remembered:
I have a Heavy-class license.
**[36:09] ---**
What?!
**[36:20] ---**
Woo-hoo! Hang on tight!
**[36:30] ---**
Here we go! You be sure to keep up!
**[36:33] ---**
Hey, where are we going, anyway?!
**[36:44] ---**
Here you go.
**[36:47] ---**
Take a look out front,
but don't make it obvious.
**[36:51] ---**
There's a window in the
storage closet by the bathroom.
**[36:54] ---**
You can escape that way.
**[36:57] ---**
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going first.
**[37:54] ---**
Saki, I'll hold them off here. You go after her.
**[38:00] ---**
If Takizawa really is Seijiro linuma's son,
**[38:03] ---**
he might be able to turn
this whole thing around.
**[38:07] ---**
So you do whatever you have
to do to get the truth from her.
**[38:10] ---**
But--!
**[38:12] ---**
Osugi!
**[38:14] ---**
Go, Saki!
**[38:21] ---**
Thanks, Osugi.
**[38:34] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry, gentlemen,
but we're closed for the night!
**[38:46] ---**
It looks like tomorrow's summons
will turn pretty interesting.
**[38:53] ---**
Mr. Mononobe, I'm getting close to
a checkmate even without my phone.
**[39:00] ---**
The Regional Tax Bureau?!
**[39:03] ---**
2G, we've got problems!
**[39:06] ---**
The tax inspectors are storming us!
**[39:13] ---**
Not bad, you bastard.
**[39:21] ---**
So you're okay.
**[39:23] ---**
Well? Have you figured out the connection
between Number 3 and Mr. Outside?
**[39:27] ---**
Not yet. But lookin' at Number 3's log,
**[39:33] ---**
she placed an order with a sweets
parlor in Shinbashi called "Odafuji"...
**[39:38] ---**
...and Number 1 just put in a request to
send a message along with the sweets.
**[39:46] ---**
And get a load of the message...
**[39:58] ---**
I see. Takizawa has his hands full right now.
**[40:02] ---**
I'll go. Send me the detail log.
**[40:05] ---**
Hey, hold it! It's too dangerous to go alone!
**[40:08] ---**
Anythin' could happen!
**[40:11] ---**
If something does, I'll leave the rest to you.
**[40:14] ---**
I know Eden will be safe in your hands.
**[40:17] ---**
Don't even joke about that, ya dipshit!
**[40:19] ---**
Be nice to Micchon, okay?
**[40:22] ---**
She was mad when you hung up on her earlier.
**[40:40] ---**
Wait, please!
**[40:46] ---**
I'm sorry, but I borrowed this without asking.
**[40:51] ---**
This photo is of you and
Prime Minister linuma, isn't it?
**[40:58] ---**
And... you're pregnant in it.
**[41:03] ---**
Wasn't that child Takizawa?
**[41:18] ---**
Takizawa's past is
disappearing even as we speak.
**[41:22] ---**
But if he found out about his past with you,
I think it would really help him.
**[41:28] ---**
Even if the public ends up
reviling him as a terrorist,
**[41:34] ---**
if he's really Prime Minister linuma's son,
**[41:38] ---**
he might be able to do
something about this situation.
**[41:42] ---**
Please tell me.
**[41:44] ---**
You're his mother, aren't you?
**[41:56] ---**
This picture really takes me back.
**[42:00] ---**
Here's what I believe:
money's the great equalizer.
**[42:04] ---**
If you have it, age and status mean nothing.
**[42:09] ---**
To put it coarsely, I'm the type of person
who thinks money is everything.
**[42:16] ---**
So if I were to tell my son
anything, it would be that.
**[42:24] ---**
So, what does he think now about
being given 500 yen and abandoned?
**[42:32] ---**
How does he feel about money?
**[42:38] ---**
It's a long story, but Takizawa
was put in a position
**[42:41] ---**
where he could use ten billion
yen however he wanted.
**[42:44] ---**
But he never spent a single yen on himself.
**[42:49] ---**
That's the kind of person he is.
**[42:52] ---**
I see...
**[42:55] ---**
He's not my son, then.
**[43:17] ---**
Manage the rest of this on your own.
**[43:33] ---**
Saki!
**[43:37] ---**
Wasn't Aya Takizawa's mother?
**[43:40] ---**
Yeah, she was his mother.
**[43:46] ---**
I mean, she said she'd given him 500 yen...
**[44:40] ---**
I should just call Takizawa, right?
**[44:44] ---**
And say, "I found your mother."
**[44:47] ---**
"She really was your mother."
**[44:51] ---**
Why are you hesitating, then?
**[44:54] ---**
Because if I tell him that... if I tell him...
**[44:59] ---**
...I don't think he'll ever
come back to me again!
**[45:08] ---**
Saki...
**[45:13] ---**
No! You can't give up!
**[45:17] ---**
Let's go see Takizawa. We'll go
see him, and talk to him in person.
**[45:21] ---**
I'm sure he's waiting for
you to come to him, Saki.
**[45:36] ---**
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
**[45:44] ---**
Sit.
**[45:51] ---**
First you disappear from the airport,
then you come back in a trailer truck.
**[45:57] ---**
Moreover, I'm told it's the same trailer
**[45:59] ---**
that the government launched
an attack on last night.
**[46:03] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[46:06] ---**
Well, you see, without that truck,
I can't salvage this situation,
**[46:11] ---**
so that's why I brought it with me...
**[46:14] ---**
But I guess it's an inconvenience, huh?
**[46:17] ---**
Very bold. As a terrorist, you're first-rate.
**[46:22] ---**
I'm not a terrorist!
**[46:24] ---**
Then what are you?
**[46:29] ---**
It's hard to explain, but to
make a long story short,
**[46:33] ---**
I'm one of the people chosen
to make this country better...
**[46:37] ---**
All terrorists say that.
**[46:40] ---**
Uh, well, but you see...
Aw, man. How should I phrase this?
**[46:47] ---**
I'm not interested in hearing
any more about that.
**[46:50] ---**
I have no intention of arguing
about your position right now.
**[46:55] ---**
What I want clarified, right here
and now, is what you're after.
**[47:00] ---**
I want to know why
**[47:03] ---**
you appeared here calling
yourself linuma's illegitimate son.
**[47:07] ---**
Was it money? Or is this one of
the terrorist acts you thought up?
**[47:13] ---**
Of course not! I never intended
to become linuma's son...
**[47:19] ---**
I can't really put it very well,
**[47:21] ---**
but I just wanted to become
king of this country
**[47:25] ---**
so I'd be someone who could support
people who are having a rough time.
**[47:30] ---**
And then somewhere along the way
that got turned into "prime minister"...
**[47:35] ---**
Do you understand what you're saying to me?
**[47:39] ---**
Yes. And I know it sounds crazy, too.
**[47:45] ---**
But it's true.
**[47:50] ---**
I'd honestly rather not
become king if I can avoid it.
**[47:54] ---**
If I do, I'm sure people will dump
all the responsibility on me,
**[47:59] ---**
and everyone will complain about me.
**[48:02] ---**
I think I probably won't be able to
stick it out unless I erase my memories.
**[48:09] ---**
But my request was accepted, and that
must mean there's something I can do.
**[48:16] ---**
Your request to become king was "accepted"...?
**[48:23] ---**
My husband retired from politics and
went back to being a private citizen.
**[48:27] ---**
He was finally about to spend
the remainder of his life carefree,
**[48:31] ---**
and then he became Prime Minister
again at the urging of his supporters.
**[48:35] ---**
But in the end, he passed away
before he was able to do anything.
**[48:41] ---**
Even if you achieve the status of "Iinuma's son,"
**[48:46] ---**
your path won't be easy.
**[48:50] ---**
You'll have even less power than a terrorist.
**[48:54] ---**
I know. But if nothing else, I can't
quit until I punch out the man
**[48:58] ---**
who dumped everything into my lap.
**[49:30] ---**
Mr. Mononobe? But how
did he know to look here?
**[49:37] ---**
"Mr. Mononobe"...? Hey, did he
come here to see me, by any chance?
**[49:43] ---**
Yes, he did say he'd come to see you...
**[49:49] ---**
I just don't know what to think anymore.
**[49:53] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[49:55] ---**
Very well. Use the study.
**[49:59] ---**
However, I'm to be summoned before
the Diet as an unsworn witness tomorrow.
**[50:07] ---**
I may have temporarily harbored you here
**[50:10] ---**
in light of the possibility that
you were my husband's son,
**[50:13] ---**
but ultimately, I will have
to report you as a terrorist.
**[50:18] ---**
Understood. That's fine with me.
**[50:49] ---**
So it's been a full thirty years
since anyone's seen him...
**[51:05] ---**
I have to hand it to you:
you even got Juiz to like you.
**[51:11] ---**
Not only that, you just kept
making out-of-nowhere requests
**[51:16] ---**
that surpassed mine,
and neatly turned the tables.
**[51:19] ---**
You've completely trounced me in this game.
**[51:23] ---**
You came here to tell me that?
**[51:25] ---**
Yes. And to ask you for a favor.
**[51:29] ---**
Would you be willing to
withdraw from the game?
**[51:36] ---**
I've wanted to change this country
since before I became a bureaucrat.
**[51:41] ---**
But the reality was that far too
many problems had accumulated,
**[51:46] ---**
and becoming a bureaucrat wasn't
enough to solve them by honest means.
**[51:52] ---**
Still, time was too precious to waste
waiting for the government to collapse.
**[51:56] ---**
That was when I got this phone.
**[52:40] ---**
Excuse me, are you... Mr. Saizo Ato?
**[52:50] ---**
Who are you?
**[52:53] ---**
I'm Kazuomi Hirasawa, a friend of Number 9's.
**[52:58] ---**
I came here to ask you something, if I may.
**[53:20] ---**
Sir...
**[53:21] ---**
If someone gave you ten billion yen
and told you to improve this country,
**[53:26] ---**
how would you use that money?
**[53:34] ---**
Did you use that question to select the
Seleção from among your passengers?
**[53:42] ---**
What am I going to do about that Toshiko?
**[53:47] ---**
Well? What do you want?
**[53:52] ---**
It seems you don't intend to stop the game,
**[53:55] ---**
no matter what kind of requests are made...
**[53:58] ---**
But what exactly is the name of the game here?
**[54:03] ---**
When Ato asked me how I
would spend ten billion yen,
**[54:08] ---**
I told him the first thing
that this country ought to do
**[54:10] ---**
was go on a diet, on a nationwide scale.
**[54:14] ---**
A government-led redistribution
of useful human resources
**[54:17] ---**
where the only priority is
the effective functioning
**[54:19] ---**
of those sectors with global currency.
**[54:22] ---**
I said we had to make Japan
small and light on its feet like that.
**[54:30] ---**
To get it done fast, I had to
temporarily emasculate the government.
**[54:36] ---**
And that's what those missiles were for...!
**[54:38] ---**
Quite. But really, it needn't have been missiles.
**[54:43] ---**
Anything that put a lot of pressure on
the nation would have done for a start.
**[54:48] ---**
Because after that, the magic cell
phone would no longer be necessary;
**[54:52] ---**
I could take my time getting the rest
done by working my connections.
**[54:58] ---**
So everything I did was...
**[55:00] ---**
I got you and Yuki to help
me with the dirty work.
**[55:06] ---**
I am grateful, you know.
**[55:12] ---**
If that was the plan, you should
have just told me in the first place.
**[55:16] ---**
I've done a bunch of stuff
because they say we'll get killed
**[55:18] ---**
if we don't make an effort to win,
**[55:20] ---**
but if I'd been able to
team up with other Seleção,
**[55:23] ---**
maybe we could've come up
with even better ideas.
**[55:27] ---**
There's just one problem there: I hate losing.
**[55:32] ---**
Then you should be
Prime Minister, Mr. Mononobe.
**[55:35] ---**
You're way better for the part than I am!
**[55:44] ---**
I'll open the gate right now.
It's okay, nobody's looking.
**[55:51] ---**
Where's Takizawa?
**[55:53] ---**
He still hasn't come out of the mansion.
**[55:55] ---**
So, did you find his mom?
**[55:58] ---**
Yeah. There's something I need
to tell him about that directly...
**[56:05] ---**
I'll happily bow out of the game
if you'll be the Prime Minister.
**[56:11] ---**
I'll even support you.
**[56:14] ---**
I'm afraid I'll pass on the
"prime minister" and "king" stuff.
**[56:19] ---**
The Japanese citizenry is a pack
of a hundred million egoists.
**[56:23] ---**
You know that painfully well, don't you?
**[56:28] ---**
I guess...
**[56:30] ---**
In this day and age, the Prime
Minister is just a sacrificial lamb.
**[56:34] ---**
You could say he's an outlet
for the stress of Japan's citizens,
**[56:37] ---**
who gained their freedom and became unfree.
**[56:40] ---**
After all, even Seijiro linuma died
without managing to help anything.
**[56:46] ---**
How do you mean to make this
country light on its feet, then?
**[56:52] ---**
First of all, I'll steal the citizens'
freedom without their noticing.
**[56:58] ---**
You see, they're an irresponsible lot
who can't decide anything for themselves,
**[57:02] ---**
but they still hate having to go
along with what other people want.
**[57:05] ---**
So my plan is to reestablish the Home Ministry
**[57:08] ---**
and change Japan from there.
**[57:12] ---**
What's the "Home Ministry"?
**[57:14] ---**
You don't even know that,
and you wanted to be Prime Minister?
**[57:29] ---**
Yes?
**[57:31] ---**
Hello, Takizawa?
**[57:33] ---**
Saki?
**[57:34] ---**
I'm sorry, I couldn't contact you before.
**[57:37] ---**
It's okay. So, about your mother...
**[57:43] ---**
How did it go?
**[57:44] ---**
I found her. That woman you told
me about really was your mother.
**[57:52] ---**
She's operating a bar in Mishuku.
**[57:54] ---**
Really?
**[57:56] ---**
Yeah. Her name is Aya Iwashita,
**[58:02] ---**
and apparently she was linuma's lover
while he was still a Diet member.
**[58:06] ---**
Remember when you told me
**[58:08] ---**
the rent on that hotel room in
New York had been paid all along?
**[58:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[58:14] ---**
I think Aya was living there twenty years ago.
**[58:19] ---**
Because we saw a picture of
her and Prime Minister linuma
**[58:22] ---**
that was taken while she
was pregnant in New York.
**[58:25] ---**
So you really are his son, Takizawa.
**[59:02] ---**
So that's what happened...
**[59:07] ---**
I guess that's why I had
memories of New York, too.
**[59:12] ---**
Saki, where are you right now?
**[59:15] ---**
In front of the mansion.
I'm with Micchon and the others.
**[59:25] ---**
I see you now, Saki.
**[59:30] ---**
Takizawa...
**[59:32] ---**
I feel better now, knowing I've
got a past just like anyone else.
**[59:35] ---**
And now I've kind of got a feel
for what my mother is like.
**[59:40] ---**
Thanks, Saki.
**[59:52] ---**
It looks like you've managed
to get back your past.
**[59:55] ---**
So, how does it feel to become
the Prime Minister's son?
**[59:59] ---**
You knew, Mr. Mononobe?
**[1:00:03] ---**
Eh, it doesn't feel real, somehow.
**[1:00:06] ---**
Let's get back to business, shall we?
**[1:00:10] ---**
I'll match the remaining balance on
your phone in cash as getaway money.
**[1:00:17] ---**
From now on, you won't have
to worry about the Supporter.
**[1:00:19] ---**
I'm willing to clear your
compatriots of suspicion as well.
**[1:00:22] ---**
Given those terms, would you agree to
disappear? You can go anywhere you like.
**[1:00:28] ---**
That might not be so bad.
**[1:00:33] ---**
I do have one question.
**[1:00:35] ---**
These "citizens" you've been
talking about-- what are they, to you?
**[1:00:41] ---**
Foolish question.
**[1:00:43] ---**
The "citizens" are nothing more than a
collection of parts forming the nation.
**[1:00:48] ---**
Not anything to have personal emotions about.
**[1:00:52] ---**
But each one is an individual *person*
who wants to be somebody, right?
**[1:00:57] ---**
That's a nuisance.
**[1:01:00] ---**
It's not even possible for *all*
of them to become "somebody."
**[1:01:05] ---**
True, but I think respecting
the individual a little more
**[1:01:09] ---**
would give you more energy to work with.
**[1:01:14] ---**
I mean, if nobody had told me I was
one of the people chosen to save Japan,
**[1:01:19] ---**
I doubt I could've accomplished this much.
**[1:01:23] ---**
I think your way of doing things
hasn't got quite enough love.
**[1:01:29] ---**
Does that mean you're
turning down my proposal?
**[1:01:33] ---**
There is that, but I'm also thinking of
making a formal demand of this country,
**[1:01:38] ---**
as a terrorist.
**[1:01:43] ---**
At first I thought I'd become king
and do something for people,
**[1:01:47] ---**
but it doesn't look like
there's even time for that...
**[1:01:51] ---**
I'll act as the me who's "nobody,"
just like at the White House.
**[1:01:59] ---**
Yes, this is Juiz.
**[1:02:00] ---**
Juiz, I'd like to get all of Japan's
citizens on the phone right away.
**[1:02:05] ---**
Is that something you can do?
**[1:02:07] ---**
I believe the communications
fee would be immense.
**[1:02:11] ---**
It's possible your balance will
reach zero before you're finished...
**[1:02:16] ---**
Is that all right with you?
**[1:02:18] ---**
Nah, that's no good...
**[1:02:21] ---**
I want to leave at least a
hundred million in the account.
**[1:02:24] ---**
In that case, it's a tall order.
**[1:02:28] ---**
Oh...
**[1:02:32] ---**
I know, let's use *that*!
**[1:02:37] ---**
Please tell me one thing.
**[1:02:39] ---**
When you asked Takizawa
how he'd spend ten billion yen,
**[1:02:42] ---**
what did he say?
**[1:02:45] ---**
I never asked that boy that question.
**[1:02:56] ---**
Could I have one of your newspapers?
**[1:03:01] ---**
Sure.
**[1:03:09] ---**
You don't have to pay me.
**[1:03:10] ---**
The people who only want one copy
are the ones who really want to read it.
**[1:03:16] ---**
It's still one of your wares, isn't it?
**[1:03:19] ---**
It's okay, I'll get money from the people
**[1:03:20] ---**
who subscribe to the paper
even though they never read it.
**[1:03:22] ---**
Although, those are the ones
who always try to avoid paying...
**[1:03:27] ---**
Very true.
**[1:03:33] ---**
By the way, boy,
**[1:03:34] ---**
why are you delivering
papers in this day and age?
**[1:03:41] ---**
Maybe I'm practicing receiving money.
**[1:03:48] ---**
People are funny. Even a five-year-old
kid knows how to pay money,
**[1:03:53] ---**
but sometimes even adults
don't know how to receive it.
**[1:03:57] ---**
Because using money is a nicer feeling
**[1:03:59] ---**
than bowing down to someone to receive it...
**[1:04:02] ---**
People tend to claim that the
consumer has the most power,
**[1:04:04] ---**
saying "the customer is king,"
**[1:04:07] ---**
but really, that's just how
the *seller* feels, right?
**[1:04:11] ---**
True...
**[1:04:13] ---**
But if we all became buyers,
**[1:04:16] ---**
who'd provide the services?
That's the question, huh?
**[1:04:21] ---**
Me, I think it's probably
healthier for a society to think
**[1:04:24] ---**
that receiving money is
more fun than paying it.
**[1:04:31] ---**
Is that the reason you chose him as a Seleção?
**[1:04:37] ---**
No... you were more interested in
how he came to that conclusion!
**[1:04:46] ---**
It looks like our opinions
never did mesh in the end.
**[1:04:50] ---**
Really? To me it seems like we're
looking in the same direction.
**[1:04:56] ---**
Do as you like.
**[1:05:07] ---**
Hello?
**[1:05:12] ---**
M-M-Master, it's a direct call from Juiz!
**[1:05:15] ---**
What?!
**[1:05:18] ---**
I'm calling at Number 9's request.
**[1:05:21] ---**
Vintage Boy's?
**[1:05:22] ---**
Yes. He'd like to borrow the
Airship phone you created
**[1:05:26] ---**
to connect all the cell phones
in Japan to Eden of the East.
**[1:05:30] ---**
What the heck is he up to this time?!
**[1:06:01] ---**
It's from Takky.
**[1:06:03] ---**
Here he is, Master!
**[1:07:01] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[1:07:03] ---**
I'm the man behind Careless Monday
and the other terrorist attacks:
**[1:07:08] ---**
Akira Takizawa, a.k.a. the Air King.
**[1:07:12] ---**
Bang!
**[1:07:14] ---**
I came home as Prime Minister
Iinuma's son yesterday
**[1:07:17] ---**
to capture your attention,
**[1:07:21] ---**
but in actuality, I have no relation
to our late Prime Minister.
**[1:07:27] ---**
Before I do anything else, I'd like
to offer my heartfelt apologies
**[1:07:30] ---**
for all the trouble I caused
his family and friends.
**[1:07:36] ---**
Takky, what are you doing?!
You're wasting all of Saki's hard work!
**[1:07:44] ---**
Now, to get down to business...
**[1:07:47] ---**
Everybody listen up, because I'm about
to announce a new terrorist attack.
**[1:07:53] ---**
I'm planning to once again assemble
a giant crowd of young people
**[1:07:57] ---**
and leave here for Paradise with them.
**[1:08:00] ---**
This time, I'm anticipating far more than
the mere 20,000 from six months ago.
**[1:08:06] ---**
What this means is that Japan will
lose the workforce vital to its future!
**[1:08:13] ---**
If you want to avoid that, your only
choice is to meet my demands.
**[1:08:20] ---**
What's the point of you becoming
the Pied Piper of Hamelin again?
**[1:08:25] ---**
There is only one way to do that!
**[1:08:29] ---**
I want all you old guys who take
it for granted you're the winners
**[1:08:32] ---**
to resolve to give up everything
you've so eagerly hoarded
**[1:08:36] ---**
and set out for a new Paradise with us.
**[1:08:42] ---**
That's my demand.
**[1:08:46] ---**
If you don't meet it, then soon our
world's existing values will be lost,
**[1:08:51] ---**
and the paradise you
envisioned will be lost as well.
**[1:08:55] ---**
My previous missile attacks were
just exercises to prepare for today.
**[1:09:01] ---**
If you ignore my demand, something even
more fearsome will befall this country.
**[1:09:07] ---**
But if you do what I've said, even a little,
**[1:09:12] ---**
I'm sure great things lie in store!
**[1:09:18] ---**
So, for right now, I'll be sending you
each one yen in electronic funds.
**[1:09:25] ---**
This is my parting gift to you,
**[1:09:29] ---**
as well as a promissory note proving
that what I've said *will* come true.
**[1:09:38] ---**
Juiz, send one yen each to all the
cell phones we're connected to for me.
**[1:09:47] ---**
Accepted. I sincerely pray you shall
continue to be a king full of love
**[1:09:53] ---**
who gives fear and hope to all his citizens.
**[1:10:16] ---**
And now, to all you NEETs
holding sit-ins in your homes!
**[1:10:21] ---**
It's your turn now.
**[1:10:24] ---**
Gather in the promised land,
Eden of the East, using the Airship!
**[1:10:29] ---**
I'll be waiting.
**[1:10:35] ---**
What is he playing at?
**[1:10:38] ---**
No matter how witty you are,
reason won't get people to do anything.
**[1:10:42] ---**
Once, we worked like hell to
do something for this country.
**[1:10:49] ---**
But now people call it a
"blemish on our history," a "mistake."
**[1:10:57] ---**
Then again, at the time we were novices
who didn't know left from right.
**[1:11:05] ---**
If everything we built up was wrong,
then what would have been right?
**[1:11:15] ---**
What's more, just when we thought
we'd finally achieved something,
**[1:11:19] ---**
the world's rules all changed on us.
**[1:11:23] ---**
New ideas arose and became dominant
**[1:11:26] ---**
before our country gained more depth.
**[1:11:32] ---**
It's harsh to tell the elderly to accept that,
**[1:11:36] ---**
but he wants us to transfer
our authority to them
**[1:11:39] ---**
and try giving them responsibility, eh?
**[1:11:44] ---**
The truth is that the only reason
Ryoma Sakamoto and Jiro Shirasu,
**[1:11:47] ---**
both so beloved by the Japanese,
**[1:11:49] ---**
escaped with their finery unsullied
**[1:11:52] ---**
is because they chose to play their cards
in ways that kept their noses clean.
**[1:11:56] ---**
But the true saviors of this
country are history's losers:
**[1:12:00] ---**
the nameless masses who
toiled steadily every day
**[1:12:03] ---**
and left this world tainted
by crushing losses as a result.
**[1:12:08] ---**
In a time when unconscious hatred
of that truth is often tolerated,
**[1:12:13] ---**
Number 9 has decided to go out on a
limb for them and become a scapegoat...
**[1:12:19] ---**
Fascinating.
**[1:12:22] ---**
I'll close the curtain on
this game for the time being.
**[1:12:26] ---**
The winner has been decided!
**[1:12:36] ---**
Did that phone call really
go out to everyone in Japan?
**[1:12:41] ---**
Yeah, I think so.
**[1:12:44] ---**
I know I caused you trouble.
**[1:12:46] ---**
I guess I'll flee as a terrorist.
I'll leave the witness summons to you.
**[1:12:53] ---**
Very well. Go, then.
**[1:13:03] ---**
Oh, and take this.
**[1:13:07] ---**
I don't believe I need to look at it now.
**[1:13:17] ---**
He reminds me a bit of Mr. Iinuma, in a way.
**[1:13:22] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[1:13:25] ---**
It's fine. If that's what you think, I don't mind...
**[1:13:35] ---**
Your methods are as drastic as ever.
**[1:13:39] ---**
However, the people of Japan
are astonishingly cynical.
**[1:13:44] ---**
You'd be wise not to expect to get
what you want from them so easily.
**[1:13:48] ---**
That's a sad way of thinking.
**[1:13:51] ---**
But it's reality.
**[1:14:01] ---**
Mr. Mononobe!
**[1:14:07] ---**
Good day, Seleção. This is Mr. Outside.
**[1:14:13] ---**
I realize this is sudden, but I've decided
**[1:14:16] ---**
to end our current game as of this phone call.
**[1:14:19] ---**
I'm satisfied with your actions overall.
**[1:14:24] ---**
Therefore, I have decided
to declare you all victors.
**[1:14:28] ---**
I count on you to continue to be people
who steer Japan in a better direction.
**[1:14:35] ---**
Whatever, I've always done that.
**[1:14:42] ---**
Finally, as a token of my
thanks for your participation,
**[1:14:46] ---**
I offer you the greatest of gifts.
**[1:14:50] ---**
I very much want you to have it.
**[1:14:53] ---**
It's something I've had
prepared from the beginning,
**[1:14:57] ---**
as an exclusive bonus for the Seleção.
**[1:15:01] ---**
Noblesse oblige.
**[1:15:06] ---**
I sincerely pray you shall continue
to be this country's latent saviors.
**[1:15:12] ---**
"Latent"?
**[1:15:26] ---**
Hey there, beautiful, why're
you shaking? Are you hungry?
**[1:15:32] ---**
Would you like to lick on my lollipop?
**[1:15:39] ---**
Stop it! Wait, who am I, again?!
**[1:16:01] ---**
Thank you, Saizo.
**[1:16:05] ---**
Take care.
**[1:16:23] ---**
What present did you give them?
**[1:16:27] ---**
When I delivered the cell phones,
I planted a little something in here.
**[1:16:33] ---**
Now they'll be completely
released from the game.
**[1:16:40] ---**
Why, you...!
**[1:16:41] ---**
How much do you have to manipulate
people's lives before you're satisfied?!
**[1:16:46] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[1:16:48] ---**
I'm not so far gone I'd lose to the likes of you!
**[1:17:37] ---**
Takky!
**[1:17:38] ---**
Takizawa!
**[1:17:43] ---**
What's the matter, Takizawa?
**[1:18:03] ---**
Excuse me, I was told I could find
a man named Takizawa here...
**[1:18:11] ---**
Mr. Mononobe!
**[1:18:13] ---**
Who are you? You're in my way, you know.
**[1:18:18] ---**
You don't even remember me,
after using me like you did?!
**[1:18:36] ---**
Damn it!
**[1:18:50] ---**
So did I get away without hearing that noise
**[1:18:54] ---**
because I'd erased my memories before?
**[1:18:58] ---**
Whatever, Takky, what are you going to do
**[1:19:00] ---**
now that you've said *that* to all of Japan?
**[1:19:04] ---**
Don't worry, I'm sure it'll all work out fine!
**[1:19:10] ---**
I know your message will get through to them.
**[1:19:15] ---**
Thank you, Saki.
**[1:19:17] ---**
Sure.
**[1:19:23] ---**
I wonder if Mom was listening, too...
**[1:19:40] ---**
You've gotta be kidding! Man, what a mom...
**[1:19:44] ---**
How much crazy stuff has she pulled?
**[1:19:52] ---**
What, so you're not even the PM's bastard kid?!
**[1:19:57] ---**
Guess not.
**[1:19:59] ---**
But I guess that's okay.
It's less trouble for Chigusa.
**[1:20:03] ---**
That's nice, but Takky,
this means you're just a terrorist!
**[1:20:08] ---**
Seems to me you're in trouble now.
**[1:20:10] ---**
She's right! I bet the whole
country's freaking out!
**[1:20:14] ---**
Good point...
**[1:20:20] ---**
Well, anyway, I'm going.
**[1:20:23] ---**
Going where? Do you understand
how Saki felt coming here?!
**[1:20:31] ---**
Takizawa... I...
**[1:20:35] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[1:20:37] ---**
But I remembered one last
thing I really have to do.
**[1:20:43] ---**
After I've finished that,
I'll come back to you for sure.
**[1:20:51] ---**
I'll see you.
**[1:20:53] ---**
Tell Hirasawa and Itazu and Kasuga thanks, too!
**[1:21:34] ---**
You'd better come back. You promised me.
**[1:21:39] ---**
Yeah. I'll come back for sure.
**[1:22:02] ---**
*So far, that's the last we've seen of Takizawa.*
**[1:22:09] ---**
*Apparently, after his terrorist threat,
the Seleção game ended,*
**[1:22:15] ---**
*and his request to become king was canceled.*
**[1:22:21] ---**
*So he's still a man shrouded in mystery...*
**[1:22:28] ---**
*But there were more than a few people*
**[1:22:32] ---**
*who'd be happy to see him crowned king anyway.*
**[1:22:35] ---**
*Take Chigusa.*
**[1:22:37] ---**
*Takizawa and the Prime Minister
weren't related by blood,*
**[1:22:41] ---**
*but in the course of her short
yet intense involvement with him,*
**[1:22:44] ---**
*she sensed the same fire in his blood
that had burned in her husband's.*
**[1:22:52] ---**
*And Aya, who'd tacitly
admitted Takizawa was her son,*
**[1:22:58] ---**
*has disappeared again,
along with the mini Shiba.*
**[1:23:02] ---**
*I think she must have circumstances
she can't tell anyone about,*
**[1:23:05] ---**
*and she intends to keep the secrets
of Takizawa's birth for life.*
**[1:23:22] ---**
*The NEETs that gathered at Takizawa's call*
**[1:23:26] ---**
*joined the AKX20000 in the mall,
which is practically a holy land by now,*
**[1:23:31] ---**
*and have started up a communal life
operating a daily flea market.*
**[1:23:36] ---**
*Unfortunately, Takizawa never came,*
**[1:23:41] ---**
*but even though they're furious at the Air King,*
**[1:23:44] ---**
*at the same time, they're eagerly
waiting for his Second Coming.*
**[1:23:48] ---**
*And as for the old guys who
were given that ultimatum...*
**[1:23:53] ---**
*At first some companies came for the NEETs,
obeying Takizawa's demand,*
**[1:23:58] ---**
*and announced that they'd be taking
a fresh look at their hiring systems--*
**[1:24:02] ---**
*but that didn't last long.*
**[1:24:05] ---**
*Even so, most of the NEETs
installed themselves in Toyosu,*
**[1:24:09] ---**
*made it their "Paradise,"*
**[1:24:11] ---**
*started up new economic activities,*
**[1:24:13] ---**
*and are helping Japan recover little by little.*
**[1:24:18] ---**
*And if you're wondering
what happened to us, well,*
**[1:24:22] ---**
*the public reaction to us was too much,*
**[1:24:25] ---**
*so Eden as a company closed
its doors for the time being.*
**[1:24:30] ---**
*Since then, at Hirasawa and Itazu's suggestion,*
**[1:24:34] ---**
*we've relocated to Toyosu and begun
pursuing a communal life with them*
**[1:24:39] ---**
*in order to create a more user-friendly system.*
**[1:24:46] ---**
*It's been six months since that day...*
**[1:24:49] ---**
*As far as I can tell, Japan doesn't
seem to have changed that much.*
**[1:24:55] ---**
*But someplace we can't see it,
some change must be underway.*
**[1:25:02] ---**
*I believe that.*
**[1:25:13] ---**
*And I know Takizawa must be dashing
around this city alone right now,*
**[1:25:17] ---**
*believing the same thing.*
**[1:25:29] ---**
*Carrying the burden of everyone's
hopes on his shoulders...*
**[1:25:47] ---**
*I dreamed that with a soft clap of my hands*
**[1:25:51] ---**
*All of my mysteries were solved*
**[1:25:58] ---**
*Reality doesn't go so smoothly*
**[1:26:01] ---**
*I know that all too well--
the whole world knows it*
**[1:26:08] ---**
*I dared to surrender myself
to the windy morning*
**[1:26:15] ---**
*When you laughed and said "attagirl"*
**[1:26:20] ---**
*Your breath gave me wings*
**[1:26:24] ---**
*I said I couldn't believe so easily
that tomorrow would come*
**[1:26:29] ---**
*And the sun would follow after the rain*
**[1:26:32] ---**
*As I lowered my lashes*
**[1:26:35] ---**
*I was making more rainclouds*
**[1:26:43] ---**
*And yet...*
**[1:26:46] ---**
*You said let's call tomorrow to us,
we'll have sun followed by more sun*
**[1:26:51] ---**
*Your face in profile
dispelled the clouds with ease*
**[1:26:57] ---**
*The future is so dazzling it entrances me*
**[1:27:04] ---**
*Ah, the world will change*
**[1:27:18] ---**
*I peered intently for so long*
**[1:27:21] ---**
*Wanting to know what color the world you see is*
**[1:27:29] ---**
*I can believe now*
**[1:27:32] ---**
*In the me that you believed in,
even in the dark of night*
**[1:28:00] ---**
*So that should these days of
chasing after you come to an end*
**[1:28:05] ---**
*I can keep holding your invisible hand*
**[1:28:10] ---**
*Carrying your light within*
**[1:28:14] ---**
*A new morning comes,
the world continues on today*
**[1:28:22] ---**
*The two of us peeked beyond tomorrow*
**[1:28:27] ---**
*Before I knew it, our smiles started looking alike*
**[1:28:32] ---**
*Somewhere in this town, a miracle's happening*
**[1:28:37] ---**
*Next to me, your face in profile is just grinning*
**[1:28:43] ---**
*If we've joined these hands
more certain than magic*
**[1:28:56] ---**
*I said I couldn't believe so easily
that tomorrow would come*
**[1:29:01] ---**
*And the sun would follow after the rain*
**[1:29:04] ---**
*As I lowered my lashes*
**[1:29:07] ---**
*I was making more rainclouds*
**[1:29:15] ---**
*Goodbye to that*
**[1:29:18] ---**
*You said let's call tomorrow to us,
we'll have sun followed by more sun*
**[1:29:23] ---**
*Your face in profile
dispelled the clouds with ease*
**[1:29:29] ---**
*The future is so dazzling it entrances me*
**[1:29:36] ---**
*Ah, the world will change*
**[1:29:42] ---**
*I'm certain it can change*
**[1:30:24] ---**
Sir.
**[1:30:25] ---**
If someone gave you ten billion yen
and told you to improve this country,
**[1:30:30] ---**
how would you use that money?
**[1:30:34] ---**
You're still doing that?
**[1:30:39] ---**
I finally found you, Mr. Outside!
**[1:30:52] ---**
Who are you?
**[1:30:55] ---**
Excuse me?! Don't you dare go senile on me!
**[1:30:59] ---**
You said if I won,
I'd automatically get to see you.
**[1:31:03] ---**
At least keep your promises!
**[1:31:18] ---**
Ah, now I feel better! All right,
let's say that makes things even.
**[1:31:23] ---**
So! I've got a lot of favors to ask you, old man.
**[1:31:29] ---**
For now, could you turn right
at the next intersection?
**[1:31:35] ---**
We still have a hell of a lot
more work we gotta do.
**[1:31:39] ---**
There's no time for fake senility, got it?!
**[1:31:46] ---**
*This is the story of Takizawa and me...

**[00:54] ---**
Saki, thanks for believing in me.
**[00:57] ---**
I'll stay forever in that place I traveled with you.
**[01:56] ---**
Please, is that Grand Central Station?
**[02:00] ---**
Huh?
**[02:03] ---**
You wanna get off here? This ain’t the Sheraton.
**[02:11] ---**
That's the famous Grand Central Station, right?
**[02:26] ---**
All right, fifty-five bucks.
**[02:29] ---**
Huh? But I just asked if this
was Grand Central Station...
**[02:36] ---**
Huh?! Why is he getting out of the car?!
**[02:49] ---**
What?
**[02:57] ---**
Shit!
**[03:00] ---**
What the fuck is this?!
**[03:02] ---**
One, two, three, four, five, six...
**[03:07] ---**
Wh-What?!
**[03:13] ---**
Listen, missy, I don't know what you're thinking!
**[03:16] ---**
Why'd you bring this crap into my car?!
**[03:37] ---**
Wait!
**[03:40] ---**
No way... Why?!
**[03:43] ---**
It's a gun... Somebody call the police!
**[03:47] ---**
Oh my God...
**[03:56] ---**
What?
**[03:58] ---**
What?!
**[04:06] ---**
What? What? What?!
**[04:08] ---**
This is bad! This is really bad!
**[04:22] ---**
What was that?!
**[04:39] ---**
No way... What's with this?!
**[04:44] ---**
What should I do?
**[04:45] ---**
My passport and Takizawa's
cell phone are both in that cab!
**[04:57] ---**
Takizawa...
**[05:01] ---**
But this time, I swear I'll find you.
**[07:40] ---**
Saki!
**[08:12] ---**
*Three days after the missiles
rained down all over Japan,*
**[08:17] ---**
*the police finished questioning me*
**[08:19] ---**
*and I went back to my
sister's house for the time being.*
**[08:41] ---**
This is Juiz. You have one message.
**[08:45] ---**
Saki, thanks for believing in me.
**[08:48] ---**
I'll stay forever in that place I traveled with you.
**[08:53] ---**
Takizawa...
**[09:02] ---**
*Until the uproar over the incident died down,*
**[09:05] ---**
*I basically hid out at home.*
**[09:09] ---**
*All I thought about then was what
might have happened to Takizawa.*
**[09:16] ---**
*But apparently Juiz had erased all
record that he'd ever been arrested,*
**[09:23] ---**
*and he abruptly disappeared from our world.*
**[09:38] ---**
"Become king of this country"?
What does that mean?
**[09:47] ---**
*Still, in the cell phone cameras of
the people on that roof if nowhere else,*
**[09:53] ---**
*he definitely existed.*
**[09:56] ---**
*As the savior who saved
Japan from the missiles...*
**[10:14] ---**
*Based on all the images
published online afterward,*
**[10:18] ---**
*the mass media reported that Takizawa
was key to the terror investigation,*
**[10:22] ---**
*and they searched everywhere for him.*
**[10:27] ---**
*Meanwhile, as the source
of the Takizawa footage,*
**[10:32] ---**
*the Eden site was flooded
with hits from all over the world,*
**[10:35] ---**
*and Eden of the East
became a sensation overnight.*
**[10:53] ---**
*Likewise, the image of
Takizawa intercepting the missiles*
**[10:56] ---**
*became a symbol of revolution,*
**[10:58] ---**
*combining with the logo of the
"Air King," which means "flying ace,"*
**[11:01] ---**
*to draw overwhelming support.*
**[11:05] ---**
*After the missiles, this country
reached a giant turning point.*
**[11:10] ---**
*Once again, there were
miraculously no casualties,*
**[11:13] ---**
*but the domestic situation still became unstable,*
**[11:16] ---**
*and stocks took a nosedive.*
**[11:18] ---**
*The entire administration resigned after
failing to stop another "Careless Monday."*
**[11:23] ---**
*Online, people likened it to
Prime Minister Eda's crazy outburst,*
**[11:27] ---**
*mockingly calling it "the Uncle Dissolution."*
**[11:31] ---**
*This all had a considerable
negative effect on the world economy,*
**[11:35] ---**
*but the U.S. still stayed out of it,
maintaining its noninvolvement policy.*
**[11:41] ---**
*Our global standing plummeted;*
**[11:44] ---**
*other nations satirized us as
"the country that attempted suicide."*
**[11:49] ---**
*The missiles never hit,*
**[11:52] ---**
*but the truth is, Japan took
more damage than if they had.*
**[11:59] ---**
*Still, for the youth who knew nothing
of Japan's economic boom or the bubble,*
**[12:03] ---**
*this was their first time
seeing the problems they faced*
**[12:07] ---**
*talked about all over the world.*
**[12:10] ---**
*So even though they were nervous,*
**[12:12] ---**
*the uncertainty about their nation's
future was actually refreshing in a way.*
**[12:17] ---**
*No one ever said it in so
many words, but after that day,*
**[12:21] ---**
*our vague sense of despair
changed to a sort of hopefulness.*
**[12:26] ---**
--Hi, guys!
--*And in these times of unprecedented crisis,*
**[12:27] ---**
--Welcome to Eden of the East, Osugi!
--*And in these times of unprecedented crisis,*
**[12:30] ---**
--Well, look who's here! Long time no see!
--*Eden of the East took the
plunge and went into business.*
**[12:35] ---**
*I ended up helping, too,
though I can't really do much.*
**[12:38] ---**
Whoa, check out Osugi's business card!
**[12:42] ---**
"Sales Division 3," it says!
**[12:45] ---**
--"Three" doesn't mean "third-best," you know!
--Let me see.
**[12:51] ---**
You become an upstanding
working man too, okay, Kasuga?!
**[12:55] ---**
I'm already a more upstanding
worker than you are.
**[13:46] ---**
I'm really desperate.
**[14:06] ---**
Good night!
**[14:07] ---**
--*It was about six months later*
--Night!
**[14:09] ---**
*that things started happening.*
**[14:13] ---**
*It was summertime.*
**[14:15] ---**
Saki, you just added
Washington to your trip in May,
**[14:19] ---**
and now I hear you've
bought another ticket there.
**[14:22] ---**
Hirasawa, you knew?
**[14:31] ---**
Don't you feel like you can belong here?
**[14:35] ---**
That's... not it...
**[14:39] ---**
You're being a dolt!
**[14:44] ---**
Sis?
**[14:46] ---**
Hirasawa's worried about Takky too, you know.
**[14:52] ---**
He hasn't told you this, but he
had Underpants rig something
**[14:56] ---**
so that all the logs received on Takky's phone
**[15:00] ---**
get automatically forwarded to Eden's server.
**[15:04] ---**
The other Seleção are still playing the game,
**[15:08] ---**
and Japan will be in big trouble if
more missiles come or something, right?
**[15:13] ---**
Sis, it's too early to...
**[15:16] ---**
Isn't it about time you told her?
**[15:19] ---**
The real reason you got Eden
started was to save Takky.
**[15:28] ---**
We owe him big, after all.
**[15:30] ---**
So the way I figure it,
**[15:32] ---**
this time we NEETs have to save
Takizawa and change this country.
**[15:39] ---**
Hirasawa...
**[15:41] ---**
Not that we're actually NEETs anymore.
**[15:46] ---**
Hey! So the new Prime Minister's
collapsed already?!
**[15:54] ---**
You're kidding!
**[15:56] ---**
Didn't the name on Takky's passport
change from "Takizawa" to "Iinuma"?
**[16:02] ---**
Maybe Juiz is trying to
make him Prime Minister!
**[16:10] ---**
Look!
**[16:12] ---**
"Leak existence of illegitimate child"?
**[16:14] ---**
So that means Takky is linuma's son?
**[16:18] ---**
No, it means she's trying to
make him the new PM's successor!
**[16:22] ---**
Changing his passport was part of the setup.
**[16:28] ---**
This is crazy.
**[16:29] ---**
I thought Takizawa was being a
little *too* creative with his requests
**[16:34] ---**
when he erased his memories again,
said, "I'll be king of Japan," and *left*,
**[16:38] ---**
but Juiz has her own issues if she
interprets that as "make him PM"!
**[16:43] ---**
Yeah... But hold on a sec.
**[16:46] ---**
The passport was changed
right after he disappeared,
**[16:52] ---**
so does that mean Juiz
anticipated six months ago
**[16:54] ---**
that Seijiro linuma would be elected,
and that he'd collapse from overwork?
**[17:01] ---**
So Juiz's power really does reach
right to the heart of the government...
**[17:05] ---**
Never underestimate Saizo Ato, huh?
**[17:09] ---**
I knew saving Takizawa wouldn't
be easy, but this confirms it.
**[17:19] ---**
New York?
**[17:21] ---**
I never went to New York with Takizawa.
**[17:24] ---**
From his message about the
place where you two traveled,
**[17:28] ---**
it seems like D.C. is the only foreign possibility.
**[17:33] ---**
What if...
**[17:35] ---**
What is it? Do you have an idea?
**[17:39] ---**
*Two days later, I'd taken off for New York.*
**[17:45] ---**
*I believed that "the place we traveled together"*
**[17:48] ---**
*was a message that only I would understand...*
**[17:53] ---**
So why did things turn out this way?!
**[18:17] ---**
Hello?!
**[18:19] ---**
Saki? Why didn't you call sooner?!
**[18:22] ---**
You had us all worried!
**[18:24] ---**
Sorry. Lots of stuff happened...
**[18:27] ---**
Things took a sudden turn for
the worse during your flight.
**[18:31] ---**
Prime Minister linuma passed away,
and in response to Takizawa's log,
**[18:35] ---**
Number 6 and Number 11
have headed for New York.
**[18:40] ---**
What's more, Number 6 made
a request to rig your luggage.
**[18:45] ---**
Look in your bags first thing!
**[18:46] ---**
Then that was...
**[18:50] ---**
Are you saying something's already happened?!
**[18:53] ---**
There were handguns in my carryon.
**[18:56] ---**
Because of that, I lost my passport
and the Noblesse phone...
**[19:00] ---**
What?! Why didn't you check
the Noblesse phone right away?!
**[19:05] ---**
Sorry, I was thinking about something...
**[19:08] ---**
Honestly...
**[19:11] ---**
Well, I'm sorry to kick you while you're down,
**[19:13] ---**
but Seleção Number 2 sent copies of
Takizawa's passport to all the networks,
**[19:20] ---**
proclaiming him the illegitimate son.
**[19:24] ---**
Which means the whole town is talking
about how linuma's illegitimate son
**[19:28] ---**
is wanted for questioning
in the missile investigation.
**[19:32] ---**
It looks like the movement in Takizawa's log
**[19:35] ---**
has gotten the Seleção game
restarted in earnest.
**[19:40] ---**
In just twelve hours?
**[19:44] ---**
From Number 11's logs, I think
she's the one you met in Roppongi,
**[19:49] ---**
but Number 6 is unidentified.
**[19:51] ---**
He's asked Juiz for Takky's location
a bunch of times and been denied,
**[19:55] ---**
so I think he'll probably try
to make contact with you, Saki.
**[19:58] ---**
Actually, he might already be tailing you.
**[20:01] ---**
Huh?!
**[20:05] ---**
How did Number 6 know about Saki?
**[20:09] ---**
I think because the media was
following her around for a while.
**[20:14] ---**
And maybe because she took
the Noblesse phone overseas?
**[20:19] ---**
That makes sense...
**[20:21] ---**
Anyway, the fact that we don't know what
Number 6 wants just makes him creepier.
**[20:27] ---**
At any rate, you need to adapt
to unforeseen circumstances here
**[20:30] ---**
and evacuate to the
consulate general right now.
**[20:33] ---**
What?! But--
**[20:34] ---**
We've heard that linuma's supporters are
flying to New York to look for Takizawa.
**[20:40] ---**
I'm sorry, but you have
to give up on him for now.
**[20:44] ---**
No!
**[20:46] ---**
If I don't find him now,
**[20:48] ---**
he'll be pilloried by the press when
he doesn't even remember anything!
**[20:53] ---**
He's already shouldered
so many problems for us...
**[20:59] ---**
But we can't expose you to any more danger.
**[21:03] ---**
You can't even get a hotel room
without your passport, you know!
**[21:06] ---**
You go straight to the consulate.
**[21:08] ---**
If you can't get there on your own,
we'll dig up an escort for you.
**[21:13] ---**
Hirasawa...
**[21:16] ---**
There's one thing I really want to check.
**[21:20] ---**
If that message means
the place I think it means,
**[21:24] ---**
I might be able to find him
just ahead of the other Seleção.
**[21:30] ---**
So would you wait just a little bit longer?
**[21:33] ---**
But Saki...
**[21:36] ---**
The consulate general closes at four o'clock.
**[21:41] ---**
Please, Hirasawa.
**[21:46] ---**
Okay. But you be sure you get
to the consulate before four!
**[21:51] ---**
Got it?
**[21:52] ---**
Yeah. Thanks, Hirasawa.
**[22:03] ---**
Hey, watch it, lady!
**[22:09] ---**
Why isn't he here?
**[22:11] ---**
A hero is supposed to show up
when the heroine is in trouble!
**[22:17] ---**
We should have gone with her after all.
**[22:21] ---**
There's no point in regretting that now.
**[22:23] ---**
And I think Saki would've gone alone anyway.
**[22:27] ---**
Good point. Let's have faith that
her hard work will pay off, okay?
**[22:32] ---**
After all, it was Saki's secret plans
**[22:35] ---**
that brought them together in the first place!
**[22:38] ---**
True enough.
**[22:48] ---**
I got your voicemail! Saki is missing?!
**[22:53] ---**
--Kasuga!
--I-It wasn't me!
**[22:56] ---**
I did it.
**[22:58] ---**
I figure he'll just bitch about it
later if we don't tell him now.
**[23:01] ---**
What the hell is this about, Hirasawa?!
**[23:05] ---**
Why did this happen?!
**[23:12] ---**
A simple group of NEETs, turned into
"children of the times" overnight!
**[23:18] ---**
Am I a great producer or what?
**[23:21] ---**
It seems like a fun job.
**[23:23] ---**
So, how exactly do you make money off of it?
**[23:27] ---**
I couldn't care less about
the money. More importantly...
**[23:32] ---**
It sounds like Public Security
has an eye on them.
**[23:36] ---**
Would you know anything
about that, Mr. Mononobe?
**[23:39] ---**
Nope, beats me.
**[23:41] ---**
Oh, really.
**[23:43] ---**
Anyway, it looks like you're still
playing your cards as craftily as ever.
**[23:47] ---**
Especially for someone
who won't join the game.
**[23:50] ---**
And why did *you* suddenly join in?
**[23:54] ---**
You were never interested before.
**[23:58] ---**
Number 9 inspired me.
**[24:01] ---**
Plus, if I don't get a move on,
the Supporter will erase me, right?
**[24:06] ---**
For the record, I'm not the Supporter.
**[24:10] ---**
If the Supporter really exists,
wouldn't you say he's Number 12?
**[24:17] ---**
Somehow I can't quite bring myself to trust you.
**[24:20] ---**
Aren't you manipulating Number 6?
**[24:24] ---**
I haven't done anything this time.
**[24:27] ---**
Making that man go after Number 9
wouldn't be of any benefit to me.
**[24:34] ---**
Well, it's not like I care at this point.
**[24:38] ---**
While you've been "massaging"
the law with your politician friends,
**[24:43] ---**
*I've* found a way to win the game.
**[24:48] ---**
How very interesting.
**[24:50] ---**
Does it have anything to do
with how you leaked the identity
**[24:54] ---**
of the Prime Minister's kid to the media?
**[24:57] ---**
That's my little secret.
**[25:02] ---**
Then I suppose we have
nothing else to talk about.
**[25:17] ---**
And next up is...
**[26:05] ---**
I remember Takizawa saying "Ground Zero"...
**[26:15] ---**
I wonder if I have to ride that thing?
**[26:58] ---**
S-Safe...
**[27:07] ---**
--Whatcha doing?
--I-I-I'm so sorry!
**[27:28] ---**
Is that your gun?
**[27:32] ---**
Okay, I get it! Someone made you carry it, right?
**[27:36] ---**
Sometimes bad guys make
tourists run guns for them.
**[27:41] ---**
Let me see it.
**[27:52] ---**
Run!
**[28:15] ---**
Okay! Nobody saw us.
**[28:21] ---**
See you around.
**[28:24] ---**
Takizawa, wait!
**[28:32] ---**
"Takizawa"? My name is linuma...
**[28:38] ---**
U-Um, Mr. Iinuma... The truth is,
I'm looking for someone.
**[28:45] ---**
Did you get separated?
**[28:46] ---**
Huh?! Er, yes, but I just found him...
**[28:50] ---**
But I lost all our things:
his precious cell phone, the luggage...
**[28:56] ---**
Oh, that really sucks. Do you
want me to help you look, then?
**[29:01] ---**
Where did you lose them?
**[29:03] ---**
I left them in a yellow cab.
**[29:07] ---**
I see. But if you just forgot them
in a cab, there might be hope.
**[29:12] ---**
Do you have a receipt?
**[29:15] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[29:18] ---**
We're in luck!
**[29:26] ---**
Now everybody's finally following the script...
**[29:35] ---**
Isn't it about time we called her?
**[29:49] ---**
There's still time, so hold your horses.
**[29:52] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[29:55] ---**
Hey, Kasuga, I'm gonna call it a day, all right?
**[30:01] ---**
But we just decided to do the
system administration in shifts!
**[30:05] ---**
It's the Bon Festival; everybody's on vacation.
**[30:07] ---**
Plus you guys are here, right?
So I figure maybe it's okay.
**[30:10] ---**
Wh-What are you saying?!
**[30:12] ---**
It's fine, Kasuga!
**[30:14] ---**
Have a good night, everybody. Get some rest.
**[30:18] ---**
--Good night!
--See you!
**[30:21] ---**
Kasuga's got it good, being treated like an exec
**[30:24] ---**
just because he happened to
go to Mr. Hirasawa's school...
**[30:31] ---**
Kasuga...
**[30:36] ---**
They're older than me, so I don't
mind that they don't call me "Mr."
**[30:41] ---**
But they come in late, they don't
want to work the night shift,
**[30:44] ---**
they want raises... they don't get
what it means to be working adults!
**[30:51] ---**
You're right, maybe they
only think of this as a paradise.
**[30:56] ---**
Okay, how about we send them back to college?
**[30:59] ---**
Huh?!
**[31:02] ---**
I'm sorry. I know you're the
one who suffers the most.
**[31:07] ---**
The old guys who take it for
granted they're the winners
**[31:11] ---**
should be our greatest enemies,
but now I understand how they feel...
**[31:15] ---**
That's because you've become a
full-fledged member of society, too!
**[31:23] ---**
What's with all the freakin' donuts?
**[31:29] ---**
If you lose your NEET spirit
the second you go into business,
**[31:32] ---**
you'll end up just like all those
"normal" lamebrains before you know it!
**[31:37] ---**
--Master Underpants!
--Hiya, Kasuga. How're you doin'?
**[31:41] ---**
Micchon!
**[31:45] ---**
What's this?
**[31:47] ---**
I powered up Eden's search engine for ya.
**[31:50] ---**
This sweet little piece of work can
pull up data we couldn't find before:
**[31:56] ---**
the pre- "Akira linuma" image
data that's gotta be lyin' around
**[31:59] ---**
on terminals in public facilities
and private businesses!
**[32:07] ---**
First we gotta find out Vintage Boy's past.
**[32:10] ---**
Once we do that, we can stop
everyone thinkin' he's the PM's kid!
**[32:15] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[32:39] ---**
Um, did I interrupt your job?
**[32:43] ---**
I was on my way to a
coworker's wedding reception.
**[32:48] ---**
Coworker?
**[32:52] ---**
It's okay, you'll find your bags.
**[32:55] ---**
Huh?
**[32:56] ---**
You found the guy you
were looking for, didn't you?
**[32:59] ---**
That "Takizawa" guy.
**[33:01] ---**
Yeah...
**[33:02] ---**
So, is he an old boyfriend or something?
**[33:04] ---**
N-No!
**[33:07] ---**
He wasn't my boyfriend or anything...
**[33:11] ---**
Six months ago, he disappeared all of a sudden.
**[33:14] ---**
But I finally found out that he was in New York...
**[33:17] ---**
But he doesn't remember me at all.
**[33:22] ---**
Wow, that's harsh.
**[33:24] ---**
Yeah, tell me about it...
**[33:52] ---**
I found out who your driver was.
**[34:07] ---**
That's him!
**[34:11] ---**
Yikes, he looks scary.
**[34:19] ---**
Would you stay just like this for me?
**[34:26] ---**
Hi!
**[34:29] ---**
Do you know if anybody happened to
leave a cell phone in your cab today?
**[34:35] ---**
I don't know nothin' about that.
**[34:40] ---**
The thing is, I'm a cop. From Japan.
**[34:46] ---**
A cop?
**[34:48] ---**
Do you recognize that girl, Sir?
**[34:52] ---**
She may not look it, but she's a skilled terrorist!
**[34:57] ---**
She's a terrorist?
**[35:02] ---**
Yes! I finally nabbed her,
**[35:05] ---**
but now I can't find the
bomb she planted in her cab.
**[35:08] ---**
You get me? B-O-M-B, *bomb*!
**[35:12] ---**
Bomb?
**[35:14] ---**
Apparently it's disguised as a cell phone.
**[35:18] ---**
I'll have a big problem on
my hands if I don't find it!
**[35:21] ---**
Are you sure you don't know anything?
**[35:23] ---**
*Kaboom*, you know?
**[35:25] ---**
Well, uh...
**[35:29] ---**
Maybe I've got the wrong place.
Well, I'll keep asking around.
**[35:33] ---**
Okay, good luck!
**[35:35] ---**
Hey, hey, hey, wait up, wait up, wait up!
**[35:40] ---**
Is this what you're lookin' for?
**[35:48] ---**
Oh, thank God we found it in time!
**[35:52] ---**
That was a close call...
**[35:54] ---**
Thanks for your cooperation, Sir!
**[35:59] ---**
I'm back!
**[36:01] ---**
He looked scary...
**[36:03] ---**
Nah, he was actually pretty nice.
**[36:10] ---**
Here you go. Oh, and I don't think
you should take a cab back home.
**[36:17] ---**
Just in case.
**[36:19] ---**
Wait!
**[36:22] ---**
Is there something else?
**[36:24] ---**
Um, remember how I told you I'd
found the person I was looking for?
**[36:30] ---**
I meant you!
**[36:34] ---**
What is that, some new
pickup line? Well, I'm floored...
**[36:53] ---**
This is...
**[36:57] ---**
I've been looking for you
for six months straight.
**[37:12] ---**
Wanna come home with me?
**[37:14] ---**
Huh?
**[37:27] ---**
Stressing out like that isn't going
to help anything, you know.
**[37:31] ---**
But it's almost time...
**[37:37] ---**
Hey, it's an email from Saki!
**[37:40] ---**
"I found Takizawa."
**[37:44] ---**
"Thanks to him, I got the passport
and cell phone back, too."
**[37:50] ---**
It's a tough call who came
to whose rescue here, huh?
**[37:53] ---**
*How* did she find him, though?
**[37:55] ---**
Love brought them together, obviously!
**[38:02] ---**
--What else?
-- "We're going to his apartment for now." That's all.
**[38:07] ---**
Oh, this is so exciting! Don't you think?!
**[38:17] ---**
Someone call Saki and tell
her to use good judgment!
**[38:21] ---**
No, Saki, you can't do that!
**[38:25] ---**
Drive out your evil thoughts, Osugi!
**[38:28] ---**
This is a life we can never have!
**[38:30] ---**
Kasuga, tumblin' in a sea of evil thoughts
**[38:34] ---**
is the default state of NEET youth!
**[38:37] ---**
As his junior, it's your duty to
somewhat-fondly watch over him.
**[38:40] ---**
Right, Micchon?
**[38:42] ---**
I don't think so.
**[39:16] ---**
Hello, this is Juiz.
**[39:19] ---**
Did you get her safely away this morning?
**[39:21] ---**
Yes, I distracted the police by
causing a minor car accident nearby.
**[39:27] ---**
I'd hoped to use a more elegant method, but...
**[39:30] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[39:31] ---**
I know we can't do much outside
the system's effective range.
**[39:35] ---**
You're very kind. Is there
anything else you'd like?
**[39:39] ---**
Hmm, I think that'll do for now, thank you.
**[39:43] ---**
I see...
**[39:46] ---**
What is it?
**[39:47] ---**
It's just that we haven't
done the usual in a while...
**[39:55] ---**
That's true, I haven't cut off
a single johnny since then.
**[39:59] ---**
Have I... done something wrong?
**[40:03] ---**
Not at all. I just have other
business to attend to right now.
**[40:08] ---**
May I ask what?
**[40:20] ---**
Number 1 here, Daiju Mononobe,
**[40:23] ---**
is the four-eyed jerk with the
slicked-back hair who hit me.
**[40:26] ---**
After he quit his job as a bureaucrat,
**[40:28] ---**
he got an executive post at Ato & Company.
**[40:31] ---**
He tried to make himself the new
Mr. Outside, but he screwed up,
**[40:35] ---**
and we don't know what he's been doin' since.
**[40:38] ---**
And we don't know who Number 2 is.
**[40:40] ---**
He's made a lot of
"criminal prankster" -type requests,
**[40:42] ---**
but he's cleverly kept his identity hidden.
**[40:45] ---**
Number 6 is sneakin' around New York right now.
**[40:47] ---**
We don't know who he is either,
but judgin' from his logs,
**[40:51] ---**
he seems like a film producer or something.
**[40:54] ---**
It's highly likely that Seleção
Numbers 1, 2, and 6 here
**[40:57] ---**
are a threat to Vintage Boy.
**[41:00] ---**
I see Number 10, Ryo Yuki,
**[41:02] ---**
has moved from the
"danger" list to the "dropout" one.
**[41:05] ---**
Yeah, ever since the missile incident,
**[41:07] ---**
he's been makin' various
"Number 9 assassination" requests
**[41:11] ---**
and bein' denied every time,
**[41:13] ---**
but three days ago, his icon finally went dark.
**[41:16] ---**
That sounds like what happened with Number 4.
**[41:19] ---**
Yeah. I don't know yet
whether he's alive or dead,
**[41:23] ---**
but considerin' that he had
money left, just like Number 4,
**[41:26] ---**
maybe someone decided
he'd lost his value as a Seleção.
**[41:31] ---**
The bigger surprise is Number 5, Hajime Hiura.
**[41:35] ---**
This guy's got no money left,
but he's actually still alive!
**[41:43] ---**
When I went to see him, he wasn't
runnin' the hospital anymore.
**[41:47] ---**
And guess why? He'd lost
all his recent memories!
**[41:52] ---**
He didn't even really get
that he owned a big hospital.
**[41:58] ---**
He seemed pretty shocked
when I told him my story,
**[42:01] ---**
but he grasped things quicker
than I would've thought.
**[42:05] ---**
It was like when he found
out he'd built the hospital,
**[42:08] ---**
he finally accepted things.
**[42:12] ---**
I guess his beliefs give him
that positive attitude.
**[42:17] ---**
But why wasn't he killed by
the Supporter, do you think?
**[42:21] ---**
If he used up all of his money and
survived, does that mean he won?
**[42:26] ---**
But if someone wins, the other
Seleção get eliminated, right?
**[42:32] ---**
So isn't this weird?
**[42:33] ---**
Maybe when Mr. Outside said "eliminated,"
**[42:37] ---**
he meant he'd snuff out their
*memories*, not their actual lives?
**[42:41] ---**
But he also said that Seleção who
broke the rules would die, right?
**[42:46] ---**
True, but what if No. 12 is actually
both Mr. Outside *and* the Supporter?
**[42:53] ---**
It'd take serious time and effort
to keep tabs on the other Seleção,
**[42:56] ---**
make 'em play by the rules,
and distribute the penalties by himself.
**[43:01] ---**
Juiz helped him, right?
**[43:03] ---**
I didn't find any trace of that in the logs.
**[43:06] ---**
He's the one who organized the game,
**[43:08] ---**
so he could be outside the rules, right?
**[43:11] ---**
Then why would he leave a
record of transportin' Juiz?
**[43:15] ---**
My take is, old Saizo Ato is nuts,
**[43:19] ---**
but he's been runnin' a pretty
consistent game so far.
**[43:24] ---**
So maybe he just made up the "Supporter" rule
**[43:28] ---**
to force everybody into
playin' his life-or-death game?
**[43:34] ---**
So the others mistaking
Takizawa for the Supporter
**[43:37] ---**
is just a case in point?
**[43:39] ---**
It's a wishful-thinkin' scenario, I'll admit.
**[43:42] ---**
Well, it'd be good news for Takky.
He's been using up his balance.
**[43:47] ---**
We can't theorize ahead of the facts.
**[43:49] ---**
She's right. Let's not look
through rose-colored glasses here.
**[43:54] ---**
Yeah...
**[44:15] ---**
Huh, so I'm Number 9 in this "Seleção" group,
**[44:19] ---**
and I'm wanted for questioning
in that big Japanese missile case.
**[44:24] ---**
It's like *The Man Who Stole the Sun*!
**[44:28] ---**
But it's all true, I swear!
**[44:31] ---**
It's okay. It's not like I don't believe you.
**[44:34] ---**
Huh?
**[44:38] ---**
This is my place.
**[44:43] ---**
But isn't this...?
**[44:48] ---**
Hey, Air King!
**[44:50] ---**
Hi!
**[44:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[44:59] ---**
People call you "Air King"?
**[45:01] ---**
Yup. People I've never even met
walk up to me on the street.
**[45:05] ---**
That's why I figured I couldn't
dismiss your story out of hand.
**[45:10] ---**
Plus, I do remember that
I don't have my memories.
**[45:14] ---**
Damn, I guess I'm not just a
lookalike-- I'm the real thing.
**[45:21] ---**
They're in room 801 of the Gramercy, got it?
**[45:25] ---**
Make them take a shower,
using any means necessary.
**[45:28] ---**
Then do just like I told you--
**[45:29] ---**
Excuse me, but I don't understand
the point of your request at all.
**[45:34] ---**
Look, the great movies throughout the ages
**[45:38] ---**
have always had couples on the run
taking showers wherever they end up!
**[45:43] ---**
It's the classic pattern!
**[45:46] ---**
Be that as it may,
**[45:47] ---**
not even the Seleção system
can control the human will.
**[45:52] ---**
You're now outside the
effective range in any case,
**[45:55] ---**
so these things are not so simple.
**[45:57] ---**
Now hold on a second! I know for a fact
**[46:00] ---**
that you're supplying Number 9 with
cash from a bank account you made!
**[46:04] ---**
That's totally breaking the rules.
So bend them a little for me, too!
**[46:09] ---**
That is a part of Number 9's
request to become king,
**[46:14] ---**
and thus is not against the rules.
**[46:17] ---**
Fine, I get it. Make me a king too, then!
**[46:21] ---**
I'm afraid the process of becoming
king is different for each Seleção.
**[46:25] ---**
Please wait while I confirm whether
it is possible to make you king at all.
**[46:32] ---**
Hey, what's with that attitude?!
**[46:34] ---**
So you don't want me to?
**[46:36] ---**
Fricking hell! Just shut up
and do what I told you to before!
**[46:40] ---**
Accepted.
**[46:42] ---**
However, I pray you shall be a savior
who watches his mouth a little better.
**[46:49] ---**
Dammit, she's getting cheekier every day...
**[47:01] ---**
Are you paying for this room, Mr. Iinuma?
**[47:07] ---**
No... Oh, you can just call me
"Takizawa" if you want.
**[47:12] ---**
Okay. So, what's happened since
you noticed your memory loss?
**[47:17] ---**
The police up and released me all of a sudden,
**[47:20] ---**
and they gave me cards and a
passport in Akira linuma's name,
**[47:23] ---**
and these.
**[47:26] ---**
Then I got a phone call
**[47:27] ---**
saying to come to the theater
where I first saw *Dumbo*.
**[47:31] ---**
After that, I found the theater by myself,
**[47:34] ---**
and I've been waiting here for my mom to come.
**[47:36] ---**
Your mom?
**[47:38] ---**
People usually watch *Dumbo*
with their moms, right?
**[47:41] ---**
So I figured that call must've been from Mom.
**[47:45] ---**
But you said I haven't seen
my mom since I was five, right?
**[47:53] ---**
So I guess that "concierge"
got this room for me, then?
**[47:57] ---**
But I don't remember
anything like that in your log.
**[48:01] ---**
Really?
**[48:09] ---**
"It's too dangerous to come back to Japan now.
**[48:12] ---**
Both of you hide out in the U.S. until the
dust settles. We'll back you up from here.
**[48:18] ---**
Wait for us to call."
**[48:20] ---**
What do they mean?
**[48:21] ---**
If your king request keeps moving forward,
**[48:24] ---**
you'll end up going back not just
as the illegitimate son of the PM,
**[48:29] ---**
but as the prime suspect
in the missile terrorism, too.
**[48:31] ---**
Hey, do you think maybe
I could cancel that order?
**[48:35] ---**
Let's try asking.
**[48:37] ---**
Huh?
**[48:40] ---**
Hello, this is Juiz!
**[48:41] ---**
--Hello?
--It's been so long!
**[48:44] ---**
I haven't heard from you
**[48:46] ---**
since I called the police station
while I was having you released!
**[48:48] ---**
Oh, that was you! I totally
thought you were my mom.
**[48:54] ---**
Since you're contacting me,
I take it everything is going well?
**[48:58] ---**
What a relief!
**[49:00] ---**
I guess. Um, about that...
**[49:03] ---**
I don't suppose I could cancel
that request to become king?
**[49:08] ---**
What?
**[49:09] ---**
But I thought you'd make a splendid king...
**[49:13] ---**
I'm a wee bit disappointed.
**[49:16] ---**
Was it that big a deal?
**[49:18] ---**
It is technically possible to cancel,
**[49:21] ---**
but if you do so, all matters
will be left as they are right now.
**[49:25] ---**
Is that all right?
**[49:27] ---**
Oh, I see. Well, that's no good...
**[49:32] ---**
I still think you should do it.
**[49:38] ---**
--Let me think it over.
--Huh?
**[49:40] ---**
Understood. Noblesse oblige.
**[49:43] ---**
I pray you shall continue to be a
splendid prince-- or rather, a savior.
**[49:49] ---**
Why?
**[49:51] ---**
Eh, I thought maybe I might as
well go the distance at this point.
**[49:56] ---**
"Maybe"...?
**[50:07] ---**
I suppose it's only natural
that Mrs. Iinuma feels this way...
**[50:21] ---**
Number 6's requests are as strange as ever.
**[50:31] ---**
I wonder if Number 9 realizes?
**[50:39] ---**
We don't have to eat cup ramen!
**[50:42] ---**
You guys forget the whole NEET spirit
the second I take my eyes off you.
**[50:47] ---**
Says the man who could only
live for two years as a shut-in
**[50:52] ---**
because his parents gave him an allowance!
**[50:54] ---**
That's what true NEET-ism is all about, duh.
**[51:01] ---**
Pretty soon it won't be so easy
to make it as a NEET anymore
**[51:03] ---**
just because your parents are well-off.
**[51:07] ---**
It sounds like that change in the
tax laws is close to going through.
**[51:13] ---**
You mean the one that's supposed
to make the death tax 100%?
**[51:17] ---**
We're gettin' hit with the fallout
**[51:18] ---**
of the country's value goin'
down after the missile incident.
**[51:21] ---**
But can such a crazy bill really pass easily?
**[51:25] ---**
It's only the young people
who aren't taking it seriously.
**[51:29] ---**
Lots of people are fooled,
**[51:31] ---**
since at first glance it seems like
they're getting rid of vested rights,
**[51:34] ---**
but the older generation's already
started spending their savings.
**[51:37] ---**
Indeed. My old man's doing his best
to make sure he doesn't leave me any.
**[51:44] ---**
Its supporters are saying
**[51:46] ---**
it'll increase consumption and
speed the economy's recovery,
**[51:49] ---**
but ultimately they just want
to put the screws on the NEETs.
**[51:53] ---**
Kazuomi's dad is playing right into their hands.
**[51:57] ---**
Isn't that just going to burden
the taxpayers in the end, anyway?!
**[52:01] ---**
I'm telling you, they've got no love!
**[52:08] ---**
Hey, Kasuga, your phone never hung up.
**[52:11] ---**
Huh? That doesn't make sense.
**[52:13] ---**
I'm ending the call.
**[52:20] ---**
Number 6 made a move!
**[52:31] ---**
Aw, man!
**[52:36] ---**
Ow, hot! Why did this thing turn itself on?
**[52:47] ---**
Hello?
**[52:49] ---**
Number 9?
**[52:52] ---**
Who are you?
**[52:54] ---**
You really don't remember me, then.
**[52:56] ---**
Huh?
**[52:57] ---**
More importantly, are you
in the shower right now?
**[53:00] ---**
Huh?! Where did *that* come from?
**[53:03] ---**
Just tell me.
**[53:06] ---**
No... not at the moment...
**[53:10] ---**
Then check your cell phone right now.
**[53:17] ---**
Who was that?
**[53:19] ---**
Beats me.
**[53:31] ---**
Rock on...
**[53:32] ---**
It's the subdued explosions that
actually seem the most real, huh?
**[53:36] ---**
This is right up there with Spielberg's *Munich*!
**[53:48] ---**
What are they doing there?!
**[53:51] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[53:53] ---**
I told you, the great movies throughout--
**[53:55] ---**
Not one great film has ever ended
**[53:57] ---**
with a shot of the leads getting
blown up in the bathroom.
**[54:01] ---**
That was my original touch.
**[54:04] ---**
Fine, I'll forgive you this
one time. Just tail them.
**[54:08] ---**
Not accepted. You are outside
of the effective range,
**[54:11] ---**
so I cannot pursue them in a timely manner.
**[54:15] ---**
Why, you...
**[54:24] ---**
Yeah, we're both fine.
**[54:27] ---**
I don't really get what happened, but
someone warned him about the bomb.
**[54:31] ---**
What? Who?
**[54:33] ---**
I don't know...
**[54:37] ---**
Anyway, we'll think up a way
to wire you money by tomorrow.
**[54:41] ---**
Use it to get out of New York.
**[54:43] ---**
Okay.
**[54:45] ---**
First things first: do you have
someplace to hide today?
**[54:48] ---**
We'll try going where Takizawa works for now.
**[54:51] ---**
He says he has a key.
**[55:21] ---**
This is the theater where I first saw *Dumbo*.
**[55:25] ---**
I'm impressed you made it
here on just that one clue!
**[55:29] ---**
Yeah, well...
**[55:31] ---**
Take this. Sometimes they turn
the AC up too high in here.
**[55:35] ---**
What about you?
**[55:36] ---**
We're in trouble if someone finds us,
so I'll keep watch in the lobby.
**[55:39] ---**
Holler if you need anything.
**[55:41] ---**
Wait.
**[55:46] ---**
Are you going to leave again?
**[55:58] ---**
Why do you think I was in Brooklyn today?
**[56:04] ---**
I've got no memories, yet I
have this weird "movie recall."
**[56:09] ---**
You said so too, right?
**[56:11] ---**
That's probably why I
managed to find this place.
**[56:13] ---**
But there was just one movie I couldn't
remember no matter how hard I tried.
**[56:18] ---**
A couple is temporarily separated, see.
**[56:21] ---**
But they'd photographed themselves
right in the middle of 9/11
**[56:24] ---**
with Ground Zero in the background.
**[56:26] ---**
The picture becomes the clue
that brings them back together.
**[56:32] ---**
I wanted so bad to remember
the title of that movie,
**[56:34] ---**
I went to Ground Zero every day.
**[56:37] ---**
But it turns out that wasn't
a scene in a movie, after all.
**[57:09] ---**
Wow, you're actually hacking
into people's local networks.
**[57:13] ---**
Won't you get in trouble for peeping
into business and school records?
**[57:17] ---**
It's a little late to be sayin' that!
**[57:20] ---**
We gotta go at this all-out,
**[57:22] ---**
and find everything down
to his graduation photos!
**[57:24] ---**
I found something!
**[57:33] ---**
Now I know why we couldn't find anything!
**[57:36] ---**
That damn Juiz!
**[57:38] ---**
Whenever she sees pre- "Akira linuma"
data on the net about him,
**[57:41] ---**
she changes it to Akira linuma!
**[57:44] ---**
Micchon! What's in Number 9's detail log?
**[57:48] ---**
Nothing like that...
**[57:53] ---**
It's gone?!
**[57:54] ---**
So while she erases Akira Takizawa's history,
**[57:57] ---**
she also erases the names in his detail log?
**[58:00] ---**
What, so data's been disappearing
without us knowing it all this time?!
**[58:05] ---**
Eh, chill out. I planned for this kind of thing.
**[58:09] ---**
I set things up so the phone
activity's transferred to my PC too,
**[58:12] ---**
and it gets instantly saved there!
**[58:15] ---**
And that's why we call you the master!
**[58:17] ---**
Stop it, you'll make me blush.
**[58:24] ---**
What?! A protection system
with attack capabilities?!
**[58:28] ---**
Have you ever seen anything like this, Micchon?!
**[58:30] ---**
Nuh-uh...
**[58:31] ---**
Micchon, try scrolling
back down Takky's detail log.
**[58:36] ---**
Look here.
**[58:38] ---**
"Hack into Eden of the East and
use the image search system"...
**[58:43] ---**
Underpants, Juiz is using the
Eden System to her own advantage
**[58:47] ---**
because *you* beefed up the search engine!
**[58:49] ---**
What?! That bitch!
**[58:51] ---**
At this rate, Akira linuma will
supplant Akira Takizawa completely.
**[59:22] ---**
This is called a "rovin' bug."
**[59:24] ---**
It's a way to remotely control cell phones
**[59:26] ---**
and listen to the surroundin' conversation.
**[59:30] ---**
I hear FBI types use 'em all the time.
**[59:33] ---**
Is a Seleção behind this?
**[59:36] ---**
No idea.
**[59:38] ---**
Well, Micchon? Anything left?
**[59:41] ---**
Yeah! Number 1's log says,
**[59:43] ---**
"Ask the MPD's Public Security division
**[59:45] ---**
to secretly investigate Eden of the East."
**[59:47] ---**
What?!
**[59:50] ---**
Just what does he want with Eden?
**[1:00:13] ---**
Takizawa?!
**[1:00:21] ---**
What's wrong?
**[1:00:26] ---**
Did you think I'd left?
**[1:00:39] ---**
You had this poster hanging
up in your theater, too.
**[1:00:44] ---**
I guess this is the formative imagery
for my memories about movies.
**[1:00:51] ---**
So, what now?
**[1:00:53] ---**
I think it'll still be a bit before the
money comes in from your friends.
**[1:00:57] ---**
I have enough cash for the Chinatown bus, but...
**[1:01:01] ---**
Want to take a little stroll
around New York, then?
**[1:01:05] ---**
But...
**[1:01:06] ---**
I get the feeling I lived in
this neighborhood as a kid.
**[1:01:11] ---**
And I'm curious about that room...
**[1:01:13] ---**
I want to find proof.
**[1:01:17] ---**
Before my past disappears.
**[1:01:22] ---**
Come to think of it, back then you
said there was no "gold ring," right?
**[1:01:27] ---**
Maybe that was...
**[1:01:35] ---**
This is Juiz.
**[1:01:37] ---**
Yo, no-obli.
**[1:01:39] ---**
I'm about to start something
interesting. Wanna hear about it?
**[1:01:41] ---**
By all means!
**[1:01:43] ---**
"The son of that hawkish PM
is the missile terrorist."
**[1:01:47] ---**
That's enough to cause a big stir, right?
**[1:01:50] ---**
But that alone can't save this country.
**[1:01:54] ---**
To save Japan, we just gotta
make victims of all its citizens
**[1:01:57] ---**
and give the whole nation an
excuse to bitch at other countries.
**[1:02:03] ---**
You get me, Juiz?
**[1:02:04] ---**
Yes, I get you, 2G.
**[1:02:07] ---**
These days, the victim has
all the power, am I right?
**[1:02:10] ---**
We live in an age where all you
gotta do is spill coffee in your lap
**[1:02:13] ---**
and you can sue for damages.
**[1:02:15] ---**
So we'll buy us a victim ticket and
get on that last train to popularity.
**[1:02:20] ---**
It'd be a shame to waste the NEETs' sit-in.
**[1:02:23] ---**
Let's have a nice, painless destruction.
**[1:02:25] ---**
Magnificent, 2G. I'm getting chills!
**[1:02:28] ---**
I know, right? The PM's son will
return to Japan in an Air King t-shirt.
**[1:02:34] ---**
The rest of Asia will totally blow a gasket
**[1:02:36] ---**
because they'll be afraid
of us turning militaristic.
**[1:02:40] ---**
Then if he's shot by a foreigner
right after he gets home,
**[1:02:44] ---**
it'll be a done deal.
**[1:02:46] ---**
Yes, 2G. I pray you'll always
be a cutting-edge savior.
**[1:02:52] ---**
By the way, how shall we
get him to wear the t-shirt?
**[1:03:18] ---**
I think that must be the
"gold ring" you were talking about!
**[1:03:24] ---**
I did a bunch of research afterward,
**[1:03:28] ---**
and found out that Japanese
merry-go-rounds don't have them.
**[1:03:34] ---**
Apparently, most of the U.S.
ones don't anymore, either,
**[1:03:38] ---**
but they did up until the late 80s.
**[1:03:47] ---**
If you grab that ring, you can
ride the merry-go-round again.
**[1:04:00] ---**
I get it...
**[1:04:02] ---**
So if I was here as a kid,
I'd probably know about that.
**[1:04:12] ---**
You couldn't get it?
**[1:04:25] ---**
Aw, it's over already?
**[1:04:28] ---**
You take another spin.
I'll watch you from over there.
**[1:04:32] ---**
When did you...?!
**[1:04:44] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[1:04:46] ---**
she had me doing nothing but watching
movies all by myself back then...
**[1:04:51] ---**
So I was really happy when she took me
to the park instead of the movie theater.
**[1:04:55] ---**
I reached for that ring with everything I had,
**[1:04:58] ---**
so that I'd never have to
get off the merry-go-round.
**[1:05:01] ---**
Then when I caught it, I shouted,
"I did it, Mom!" and waved to her...
**[1:05:13] ---**
Yeah, I remember my mom
was watching me from here.
**[1:05:19] ---**
But she hated movies, so the only one
she watched with me was *Dumbo*.
**[1:05:28] ---**
Takizawa, you're going to get wet!
**[1:05:31] ---**
It's okay, I want to keep watching you from here.
**[1:05:40] ---**
Target sighted. He's in front of the carousel.
**[1:05:52] ---**
I finally found you! Damn you,
getting friendly all by yourselves...
**[1:06:08] ---**
Is this...?
**[1:06:14] ---**
I remembered stuff from my life
in New York, thanks to you.
**[1:06:19] ---**
What?
**[1:06:44] ---**
Hurry up and get in!
**[1:07:07] ---**
Are you the one who called me yesterday, too?
**[1:07:10] ---**
Yes. Prime Minister linuma's
wife sent me to fetch you
**[1:07:14] ---**
in the utmost secrecy.
**[1:07:16] ---**
Huh?
**[1:07:18] ---**
The Seleção aren't the only ones
displeased about your "king" request.
**[1:07:23] ---**
Both her husband's good name
and her own pride have been sullied,
**[1:07:28] ---**
and she hates you passionately for that.
**[1:07:31] ---**
Then why take Takizawa to her?
**[1:07:34] ---**
Mrs. Iinuma wishes to ask
your intentions in person.
**[1:07:41] ---**
And I'd like to see what sort of king you make.
**[1:07:58] ---**
What now? I erased the new search engine, but...
**[1:08:05] ---**
Let's shut the Eden of the East system down.
**[1:08:08] ---**
That should buy us a little time.
**[1:08:10] ---**
Huh?!
**[1:08:12] ---**
How much longer will that get us?
**[1:08:20] ---**
We should have about 48 hours.
**[1:08:24] ---**
I guess this proves how brilliant our system is.
**[1:08:40] ---**
Hirasawa, at this point,
the Eden of the East system
**[1:08:43] ---**
is essential public infrastructure,
**[1:08:46] ---**
not just something for the 20,000
idle intelligentsia living in Toyosu!
**[1:08:50] ---**
We have no choice. Micchon!
**[1:08:53] ---**
I switched over to wireless LAN.
**[1:09:01] ---**
Farewell, Eden of the East.
**[1:09:13] ---**
Hirasawa...
**[1:09:15] ---**
Kasuga, I'm sure you'll get a flood
of complaints about the downtime,
**[1:09:18] ---**
but it's just a temporary measure.
Don't let it get to you.
**[1:09:22] ---**
But Hirasawa poured his blood and
sweat and snot into Eden of the East!
**[1:09:28] ---**
You could've left the "snot" part out!
**[1:09:31] ---**
Kazuomi, we can't support Saki and
Takky this way. What should we do?
**[1:09:37] ---**
I have a proposal!
**[1:09:39] ---**
Given that we're under police surveillance here,
**[1:09:41] ---**
why not relocate our headquarters entirely?
**[1:09:46] ---**
Relocate it *where*?
**[1:09:47] ---**
Sir, I secured our college club
room for just such an occasion!
**[1:09:52] ---**
And the old Eden system is still there, after all!
**[1:09:56] ---**
That settles it. It's the perfect
place to help Vintage Boy from.
**[1:10:03] ---**
So it would seem.
**[1:10:06] ---**
We've got an email from Saki.
**[1:10:08] ---**
"We're heading for the airport.
**[1:10:11] ---**
Sorry for the sudden notice,
but Takizawa is coming back to Japan."
**[1:10:15] ---**
What the heck?!
**[1:10:25] ---**
I'm afraid this is as far as you come.
**[1:10:38] ---**
Hey, what does this mean?
**[1:10:41] ---**
Number 1 is launching a missile...
**[1:10:46] ---**
Juiz? Tell me what's going on at
the place in Number 1's detail log.
**[1:11:30] ---**
Juiz, launch the other two missiles for me.
**[1:11:35] ---**
Accepted. Noblesse oblige.
**[1:11:38] ---**
I pray you shall be an unbeatable
"raze and rebuild" savior.
**[1:12:03] ---**
My number's gone dark, too!
**[1:12:07] ---**
Hey, Juiz? Juiz!
**[1:12:14] ---**
Did Mr. Mononobe find Juiz
and destroy her with that missile?
**[1:12:22] ---**
But my request has already been
half accepted too, Mr. Mononobe.
**[1:12:27] ---**
Your ideal isn't the way this nation wants to be.
**[1:12:40] ---**
Yuki! Weren't you eliminated by the Supporter?!
**[1:12:45] ---**
I "eliminated" myself by
breaking my Noblesse phone,
**[1:12:50] ---**
so I could get my revenge.
**[1:13:15] ---**
Juiz, there's something urgent
I'd like you to do for me.
**[1:13:19] ---**
What might that be?
**[1:13:23] ---**
Could you move the third trailer
in the convoy to the front?
**[1:13:26] ---**
Yes, of course!
**[1:13:28] ---**
Then please do.
**[1:13:30] ---**
Accepted! Noblesse oblige.
**[1:13:33] ---**
I pray you shall still be my
splendid savior tomorrow.
**[1:13:53] ---**
Hurry, Juiz...
**[1:14:15] ---**
Juiz, you were far and away the
most brilliant assistant I ever had.
**[1:14:23] ---**
Number 9! I can't be your
guardian angel anymore.
**[1:14:30] ---**
Number 1 is wrapping up the game.
**[1:14:33] ---**
But I've placed my bet on you.
**[1:14:38] ---**
Keep your promise, won't you?
**[1:14:41] ---**
Promise?
**[1:14:43] ---**
I pray you shall be a king who
likes to lend a helping hand.
**[1:14:48] ---**
--Go.
--Huh?
**[1:14:50] ---**
Go do something to help him!
**[1:15:01] ---**
Kuroha...
**[1:15:08] ---**
Saki, I'm going home to Japan.
**[1:15:11] ---**
What?
**[1:15:34] ---**
Ato is such trouble.
**[1:15:36] ---**
If the public finds out about *it*,
**[1:15:38] ---**
the political fuss will be the least of our worries.
**[1:15:42] ---**
That's one reason we need to
sacrifice Mr. Iinuma's son, Sir.
**[1:15:47] ---**
Well, you're the man who
stopped the sixty missiles.
**[1:15:51] ---**
I'm confident you'll bring the
situation under control nicely.
**[1:15:55] ---**
For the 65 years since the war,
**[1:15:57] ---**
we've let other countries
do our decision-making.
**[1:15:59] ---**
I swear to break us free from
this culture of dependence.
**[1:16:03] ---**
You have an outstanding
ability to gather information
**[1:16:05] ---**
and intimate knowledge
of the bureaucratic machine.
**[1:16:09] ---**
I can see the old Home Ministry
rising to power again before my eyes.
**[1:16:12] ---**
I'll even say "Uncle" again if need be.
**[1:16:46] ---**
*Break through the writhing darkness*
**[1:16:56] ---**
*And strike the stagnation within it*
**[1:17:07] ---**
*Calculations, conservatism, arbitrary rules*
**[1:17:12] ---**
*Warped facts, expectations-- delete it all*
**[1:17:16] ---**
*Track down what's nipping
our proper future in the bud*
**[1:17:26] ---**
*I'll take your hand and set
out for a bright tomorrow*
**[1:17:33] ---**
*Bringing the shadows along, too*
**[1:17:36] ---**
*Because I'm sure even the cold, dark rain*
**[1:17:43] ---**
*Means salvation to someone*
**[1:17:47] ---**
*If we bring parallel lines
together, they'll form a circle*
**[1:17:54] ---**
*Change it all to light*
**[1:17:57] ---**
*In this world audibly veering off course*
**[1:18:07] ---**
*The swarm of SOS calls drains me*
**[1:18:19] ---**
*Reality and the future
are too close to see in focus*
**[1:18:24] ---**
*We can still reach out our
hands in search of the answer*
**[1:18:29] ---**
*I listen closely among the
buds of our proper future*
**[1:18:39] ---**
*And wait, praying to the
yet-unseen world for light*
**[1:18:46] ---**
*While privately feeling a little unease*
**[1:18:49] ---**
*I'm sure even if one day I get tired
and want to just wipe out everything*
**[1:18:59] ---**
*Your voice will call me back from the edge*
**[1:19:47] ---**
*There, take a good look:*
**[1:19:52] ---**
*A little change in the wind
blows all the clouds away*
**[1:19:58] ---**
*I may falter, but I can make my
way to where the arrows point*
**[1:20:04] ---**
*To the tomorrow they point out*
**[1:20:08] ---**
*I'm sure that beyond this
twisted world lies a tiny light*
**[1:20:18] ---**
*Even if it's not a paradise
where all dreams come true*
**[1:20:24] ---**
*You're here*
**[1:20:28] ---**
*The wind is gently nudging me forward
(The self I was before today
is nudging me forward)*
**[1:20:38] ---**
*Yes, if you've joined up
the ends of the parallel lines*
**[1:20:46] ---**
*They'll form a circle of light*

**[00:57] ---**
J-Johnny?!
**[01:09] ---**
Stop it...
**[01:14] ---**
Stop it!
**[01:25] ---**
Takizawa... what's wrong?
**[01:37] ---**
I'm gonna punch you out for sure.
**[01:44] ---**
What's the matter, Sir?
**[02:15] ---**
*I'm getting swept up in the crowd*
**[02:18] ---**
*My senses are unraveling*
**[02:22] ---**
*Within this transparent darkness*
**[02:25] ---**
*I am free and unfree*
**[02:27] ---**
*I can't end like this*
**[02:30] ---**
*I haven't gotten hold of the future
I've been waiting so longingly for*
**[02:35] ---**
*Escape routes are beckoning me*
**[02:38] ---**
*I shake my head and start running*
**[02:41] ---**
*Spin the roulette wheel this instant, that's right*
**[02:45] ---**
*I'll bet on the future yet unseen*
**[02:49] ---**
*Taking a big breath and changing
which way the wind blows*
**[02:56] ---**
*A dream almost too elaborate to wake from*
**[03:03] ---**
*A tomorrow almost too exciting to wait for*
**[03:11] ---**
*If the game isn't over yet*
**[03:14] ---**
*I can give it as many shots as I want*
**[03:18] ---**
*Be reborn and head for the future I desire*
**[03:21] ---**
*I'll wave goodbye to yesterday right now*
**[03:25] ---**
*The victor of repeated self-questioning*
**[03:29] ---**
*Peered into the distance*
**[03:32] ---**
*And beyond the darkness
of an undirected tomorrow*
**[03:35] ---**
*Saw a ring of light*
**[03:38] ---**
*The future about to begin is bound to be fragile*
**[03:42] ---**
*I know sometimes it'll run empty and snap*
**[03:45] ---**
*But when that happens,
I'll just cut a new deck of cards*
**[03:50] ---**
*And grab hold of it*
**[04:13] ---**
I don't think you should wear that t-shirt...
**[04:17] ---**
Nah, it's okay.
**[04:18] ---**
I think I kind of get why Seleção
Number 2 wanted me to wear it.
**[04:40] ---**
You're Akira linuma?
**[04:44] ---**
Yeah...
**[04:54] ---**
My name is Chigusa linuma.
I am Seijiro linuma's wife.
**[05:23] ---**
Who are you?
**[05:26] ---**
What do you have to do with
the missile incident yesterday?
**[05:29] ---**
"Missile incident"?
**[05:31] ---**
Oh, *that*! Apparently, I was
supposed to be one of the targets.
**[05:36] ---**
I see.
**[05:38] ---**
So you admit you're with the terrorists.
**[05:42] ---**
Huh?!
**[05:44] ---**
The government has announced
that the episode last night
**[05:47] ---**
was their preemptive attack against
the terrorists behind Careless Monday.
**[05:53] ---**
But... why would they say that?
**[05:56] ---**
Is this another part of Mr. Mononobe's request?
**[05:59] ---**
In any event, you are nothing but
a blasphemy against Seijiro linuma.
**[06:07] ---**
Japan is falling from grace
at an unheard-of speed,
**[06:11] ---**
and he stood up to help
this country out of its plight.
**[06:14] ---**
He died as an honored patriot.
**[06:17] ---**
And you chose that time to
declare yourself his illegitimate son!
**[06:22] ---**
I'll expose the truth about that
and all your other crimes,
**[06:24] ---**
so prepare yourself!
**[06:27] ---**
Have this DNA tested.
**[06:45] ---**
I'm sorry. It looks like I can't
go the rest of the way with you.
**[06:50] ---**
So, I have a favor to ask you...
**[06:56] ---**
I want you to look for my mom.
**[06:59] ---**
What?
**[07:00] ---**
I saw her on Careless Monday!
**[07:04] ---**
I'm pretty sure it was at Aomonoyokocho.
**[07:08] ---**
There was this woman among the people
we were evacuating who had a mini Shiba.
**[07:12] ---**
And I think that was my mom.
**[07:15] ---**
Then that mini Shiba is...?
**[07:19] ---**
I think she recognized me,
**[07:21] ---**
and that's why she panicked
and ran away without her dog.
**[07:25] ---**
Because I looked around the shelters
for her later, but she wasn't there.
**[07:30] ---**
Takizawa, did you get your memories back?!
**[07:33] ---**
Hmm? Well, the "Akira Takizawa" part, anyway.
**[07:38] ---**
So, would you do that for me?
**[07:42] ---**
I'll try.
**[07:44] ---**
Thanks. Okay, I'm counting on you!
**[07:46] ---**
Whoops. I almost forgot.
**[07:54] ---**
This is...
**[07:56] ---**
A memento of our time together in New York.
**[08:02] ---**
I'll be in touch!
**[08:29] ---**
Saki!
**[08:33] ---**
Where's Takizawa?
**[08:35] ---**
Prime Minister linuma's supporters
dragged him off somewhere.
**[08:39] ---**
Huh?
**[08:40] ---**
Thanks to that, it looks like the
media hasn't found him, but...
**[08:44] ---**
They're sure a big crowd, huh?
**[08:47] ---**
It sounds like some of them have been
**[08:49] ---**
staking out the place since
word got out two days ago.
**[08:52] ---**
For now, let's just get out of here.
**[08:54] ---**
You've got some fame of your own, after all.
**[09:03] ---**
I have to tell Hirasawa
about Takizawa's mother!
**[09:07] ---**
Oh, hold on. If you're going to use
your cell, download Airship first.
**[09:13] ---**
This is an IP phone Itazu made.
**[09:16] ---**
See, their phones are all being
tapped by Public Security,
**[09:20] ---**
so they said to use this thing
whenever we need to contact them.
**[09:22] ---**
Tapped?!
**[09:24] ---**
It looks like the police want
to frame Eden of the East itself
**[09:27] ---**
as a terrorist group involved
in the missile attacks.
**[09:31] ---**
What?
**[09:34] ---**
Okay, I'll go get the car!
**[09:45] ---**
Hello. Is this Saki?
**[09:48] ---**
Ah, I see. You were running late,
so I was worried.
**[09:53] ---**
So, how's Takizawa?
**[09:59] ---**
I see.
**[10:00] ---**
Got it. As things stand, though,
we can't use the Eden System.
**[10:05] ---**
We'll have to use the old system
preserved in our college club room...
**[10:11] ---**
Yeah. We'll send you a
password so you can get into it.
**[10:15] ---**
Okay. Thanks. I'll call you later.
**[10:18] ---**
Let's see... next is...
**[10:31] ---**
Yes, hello?
**[10:33] ---**
Saki?! What's wrong?
**[10:37] ---**
What? You're back already?
**[10:43] ---**
What, *now*? I can't believe you!
**[10:47] ---**
What did she say?
**[10:48] ---**
She's asking us to bring her the mini Shiba.
**[10:52] ---**
Saki, you know how early
bakers have to get up!
**[11:00] ---**
Yeah. I'm sorry. Okay, I'll be waiting.
**[11:04] ---**
They're going to bring the dog?
**[11:06] ---**
--Yeah.
--Oh, good.
**[11:09] ---**
So, I just tried doing an image search.
**[11:13] ---**
Look at this.
**[11:20] ---**
"Ask Public Security to secretly
investigate Eden of the East"?!
**[11:24] ---**
This is not good...
**[11:26] ---**
And Mr. Mononobe will
probably attack Juiz again, too...
**[11:34] ---**
Kuroha protected me once,
**[11:38] ---**
but if I don't pull off this one on my own,
I won't be able to save everyone.
**[11:48] ---**
What should I do? If I use Juiz,
everyone'll know where I am...
**[12:03] ---**
O-Okada...!
**[12:05] ---**
No, *Takizawa*!
**[12:07] ---**
Found you!
**[12:10] ---**
Actually, I'm Akira linuma right now...
**[12:13] ---**
I know! And what's the deal?!
First you're the Air King, then the PM's son?!
**[12:18] ---**
And to top it off, you call *us* to the airport, too!
**[12:21] ---**
What are you up to this time, eh?!
It better not be another nudefest!
**[12:27] ---**
Wait, are you one of the 20,000 NEETs?
**[12:30] ---**
So does that mean Number 2
assembled you guys here?
**[12:34] ---**
What are you talking about?
We're up shit creek thanks to you!
**[12:39] ---**
One second people were calling us
"AKX20000" and showering us with attention,
**[12:42] ---**
and then in no time everybody was
saying we were "so five minutes ago"!
**[12:45] ---**
I would've been better off just staying a NEET.
**[12:48] ---**
You better take responsibility!
**[12:50] ---**
Actually, I kind of don't think that's my fault...
**[12:54] ---**
Oh, it is too your fault!
**[12:56] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[12:58] ---**
In that case, would you do me one more favor?
**[13:04] ---**
Things had better get interesting again.
**[13:07] ---**
Y-Yeah, I think they will...
**[13:14] ---**
How long are you gonna make me wait?
**[13:16] ---**
The press and the NEETs are
on our trail, so hurry it up!
**[13:27] ---**
That's right, keep your face hidden.
**[13:47] ---**
I sent Takizawa the Airship file.
**[13:50] ---**
Oh, and I'm seeing some activity in his log!
**[13:55] ---**
What is this? He's ordering
business cards and leasing an office?
**[13:59] ---**
Wait, "Request campaign strategy
from advertising agency"?
**[14:03] ---**
And that's not all.
**[14:05] ---**
He's buying up tickets to fundraisers
for the ruling *and* opposition parties,
**[14:07] ---**
and he's throwing money at the
leading figures in politics and business.
**[14:11] ---**
It's what they call "buying votes."
**[14:13] ---**
So now he's preparing for his debut
as a second-generation politician, eh?
**[14:19] ---**
Oh, it's Takizawa.
**[14:21] ---**
Hello.
**[14:23] ---**
Yes, I know. Saki contacted us.
**[14:26] ---**
Then maybe it's safe to assume you
know more about my situation than I do.
**[14:31] ---**
Like yesterday's missiles, for instance?
**[14:34] ---**
Right. If Number 11 hadn't taken my place,
**[14:38] ---**
it'd be game over by now.
**[14:41] ---**
But I can't let this game end yet.
**[14:44] ---**
So I want to secure my Juiz somehow.
**[14:47] ---**
I know. We've already cast
our lot in with yours, after all.
**[14:53] ---**
All right, I'm turning you over to the
man closest to the answers you want.
**[15:01] ---**
It's me, Vintage Boy. So you're okay?
**[15:04] ---**
Itazu! Long time no see!
**[15:07] ---**
Skip the small talk. I've been
investigatin' Number 12's history,
**[15:12] ---**
so I knew he'd ordered gasoline and drivers,
**[15:17] ---**
but I didn't realize he was havin' 'em
drive forever on the expressway.
**[15:21] ---**
So I ended up lettin' that slick-haired
scum Number 1 steal a march on me...
**[15:26] ---**
But after checkin' the footage
**[15:28] ---**
of every single camera on the
Chuo Expressway, startin' last night,
**[15:31] ---**
I confirmed that the trailers, which
were just wanderin' around at first,
**[15:35] ---**
formed a caravan along
the up route a few hours ago.
**[15:39] ---**
Wow, you really are good!
**[15:41] ---**
You flatter me, but it's true.
**[15:43] ---**
Anyway, Trailer Number 9 just passed
through the exit at Kawasaki-Ukishima.
**[15:49] ---**
Considerin' the distance and
time they've traveled so far,
**[15:52] ---**
I reckon they'll fuel up and
switch drivers pretty soon.
**[15:56] ---**
Which means...?
**[15:58] ---**
It's a good bet the Juizes
are headin' to Umihotaru next!
**[16:01] ---**
"Umihotaru"?
**[16:04] ---**
There you have it.
**[16:05] ---**
Well? What will you do now?
**[16:09] ---**
I'll try making my way to Umihotaru.
**[16:11] ---**
I mean, without Juiz,
I'm just a man with no memory.
**[16:17] ---**
If you're "just a man," what are we?
**[16:21] ---**
Public Security coming after us
made me realize this all over again:
**[16:23] ---**
you're really something.
**[16:26] ---**
Because even after getting mixed up in all this,
**[16:28] ---**
you're still out there on
your own fighting like hell.
**[16:31] ---**
But *this* time, we'll all sink or swim together.
**[16:34] ---**
We're prepared to share
your fate, whatever it is.
**[16:36] ---**
I'll head to Umihotaru now.
Let's meet up there.
**[16:40] ---**
Are you sure? If you guys
get involved any further,
**[16:43] ---**
you won't be able to go
back to your normal lives.
**[16:46] ---**
That ought to be my line.
**[16:48] ---**
And what's more, NEETs don't
*have* normal everyday lives.
**[16:55] ---**
Okay, then. Let's meet at Umihotaru.
**[17:15] ---**
Hiya!
**[17:25] ---**
You can uncover your face now.
**[17:31] ---**
Ta-da!
**[17:37] ---**
--Wh-Who are you?!
--Total success!
**[17:39] ---**
Did you see that?! Yeah, I'm that good!
**[17:51] ---**
It's a little too late to turn back--
you'll never find him now!
**[17:54] ---**
Suck on that!
**[18:15] ---**
Hey there!
**[18:21] ---**
Sorry, traffic was bad...
**[18:24] ---**
You seem busy, but you should still
show your face at home once in a while.
**[18:28] ---**
--Yeah...
--Here's the dog.
**[18:36] ---**
I'll explain what happened today when I can.
**[18:40] ---**
Don't you worry about us.
**[18:44] ---**
Thanks.
**[18:49] ---**
So she's finally found something
she can really devote herself to, eh?
**[18:58] ---**
Well, well, you work as fast as ever.
**[19:01] ---**
Okay, the guy I told you about is on his way,
**[19:04] ---**
so be ready with a nice lukewarm welcome.
**[19:07] ---**
Right, he looks like a madman,
but he's a good guy at heart.
**[19:12] ---**
Go ahead and give him the goods.
**[19:16] ---**
Right, exactly! That's totally okay.
**[19:19] ---**
All right, I'll leave it to you.
**[19:30] ---**
"That lettering on his back saying,
'Hey Outside, shoot some more!'
**[19:34] ---**
might as well have read,
'The missiles were launched from abroad.'"
**[19:39] ---**
"That linuma-ism we remember from
'the rightist PM' is alive and well here," eh?
**[19:44] ---**
Not bad! Things are sizzling now.
**[19:46] ---**
Number 9 probably thinks he's
directing that t-shirt at Outside,
**[19:52] ---**
but that's not what the world thinks.
**[19:59] ---**
Give me a break, man!
I thought you were asleep.
**[20:03] ---**
You're going to keep playing even
though your Juiz was destroyed?
**[20:07] ---**
My pride is on the line in this battle.
**[20:11] ---**
I see...
**[20:14] ---**
I've got it ready for you, so get going.
**[20:19] ---**
That's enough money for the moment
and the address you're going to.
**[20:24] ---**
Thanks. I'll return the favor one day.
**[20:27] ---**
Nah... don't sweat it.
**[20:37] ---**
What now?
**[20:56] ---**
Annie?!
**[21:00] ---**
I'm so glad you're back!
**[21:09] ---**
So your dog's name is "Angelika"?
**[21:14] ---**
Yeah. A good name, right?
**[21:20] ---**
And? You think I'm the
missile terrorist's mother?
**[21:25] ---**
Not a chance.
**[21:28] ---**
Think about it for a second.
**[21:30] ---**
He only lived with his mother in
New York until he was five, right?
**[21:35] ---**
There's nothing more unreliable
than childhood memories.
**[21:39] ---**
Then why did you leave your dog
behind and run on Careless Monday?
**[21:45] ---**
I ran away because they told me to.
**[21:48] ---**
It saved my life, but let me tell you,
the apartment I lived in was trashed.
**[21:55] ---**
Have you ever been to New York?
**[21:57] ---**
Yep. On one long vacation.
**[22:01] ---**
Did you stay at the Gramercy?
**[22:04] ---**
Yes.
**[22:05] ---**
There's a movie theater
near there called the Angelika.
**[22:08] ---**
That's the same as your dog's name.
Is that a coincidence?
**[22:13] ---**
Probably.
**[22:17] ---**
Well then, do you have any children?
**[22:22] ---**
I suppose I did, once.
**[22:24] ---**
When was that?
**[22:34] ---**
He told me that when he was five,
his mother abandoned him in Japan.
**[22:39] ---**
What?
**[22:42] ---**
She gave him just a little bit of money,
**[22:44] ---**
and by the time he looked back from
the register of the department store,
**[22:47] ---**
she was gone.
**[23:06] ---**
Excuse me, but I'd like to use your restroom...
**[23:10] ---**
Over there.
**[23:18] ---**
Ouch!
**[23:28] ---**
Hey, this is her. What a looker...
**[23:32] ---**
That guy behind her is--?!
**[23:41] ---**
Saki, look.
**[23:46] ---**
This is...!
**[23:47] ---**
Yeah. I think it's her from her younger days.
**[23:50] ---**
Now take a look at who's behind her.
**[23:54] ---**
Prime Minister linuma?
**[23:57] ---**
Then I'm not wrong, huh?
**[23:59] ---**
What does this mean?
**[24:01] ---**
Basically, the thing about Takizawa
being linuma's illegitimate son
**[24:07] ---**
might not be something Juiz
cooked up-- it might be true!
**[24:18] ---**
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but wasn't the original plan
**[24:21] ---**
for Public Security to arrest the man
who launched the missiles and his cohorts,
**[24:24] ---**
and tie this whole thing up nice and neat?
**[24:29] ---**
Yes.
**[24:31] ---**
And didn't you set that up
with Mr. Ato's little phone?
**[24:36] ---**
And yet, I'm now starting to hear
rumors that he really is linuma's son.
**[24:44] ---**
You don't say.
**[24:45] ---**
What's more, thanks to that t-shirt,
**[24:48] ---**
neighboring countries are
beginning to reproach us,
**[24:51] ---**
saying the son of a hawkish PM is
blustering about that being a foreign attack.
**[24:57] ---**
I'll look into all of those things.
No need to worry, Sir.
**[25:01] ---**
Mononobe...
**[25:04] ---**
I believe I've put quite a bit of work
**[25:06] ---**
into the 100% inheritance tax bill and
the reestablishment of the Home Ministry.
**[25:12] ---**
I know, Sir.
**[25:14] ---**
Then perhaps it's time for
slightly more extreme measures.
**[25:23] ---**
That must be it!
**[25:29] ---**
Yes, hello, this is Mononobe.
**[25:32] ---**
It turns out there's a possibility
that Mr. Seijiro linuma
**[25:35] ---**
had a lover about twenty years ago.
**[25:38] ---**
Could you investigate?
**[25:46] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[25:47] ---**
Is that something you learned during
your recent investigation in New York?
**[25:53] ---**
Yes.
**[25:55] ---**
Yes. So it was Mr. Iinuma himself who
kept that hotel room reserved, then.
**[26:01] ---**
It was empty until *he* came six months ago,
but it was paid for all along.
**[26:07] ---**
Understood. I'll leave it to you.
**[26:13] ---**
Juiz, I'd like to place a call to the Regional
Tax Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division...
**[26:22] ---**
Umihotaru?
**[26:30] ---**
Oh, it's from Grandfather.
**[26:35] ---**
Where are the trailer drivers?
**[26:38] ---**
I'm having them take a break in the rest area.
**[26:40] ---**
They did drive nonstop from Yamanashi.
**[26:43] ---**
So did we, you know.
**[26:46] ---**
What did Grandfather say?
**[26:49] ---**
That we're taking these measures
only to keep the game progressing,
**[26:54] ---**
so we're supposed to behave
just like we always have:
**[26:57] ---**
never interfering with any request.
**[26:59] ---**
We know that already! After all,
we aren't Seleção or Juiz.
**[27:04] ---**
"Just the kids who shag the baseballs."
**[27:06] ---**
Right?
**[27:08] ---**
But what if Number 1 orders
another missile attack right now?
**[27:13] ---**
We'll be dead meat!
**[27:15] ---**
Wanna just hide them somewhere on our own?
**[27:22] ---**
We can't. We'd be violating
Grandfather's orders.
**[27:26] ---**
Plus, I doubt Number 1
can launch a missile *here*.
**[27:40] ---**
Say, isn't that Seleção Number 9?
**[27:45] ---**
You're right!
**[28:01] ---**
This is Juiz. Number 9, you seem to be
within the system's effective range!
**[28:08] ---**
Yep.
**[28:14] ---**
Actually, I'm right next to you. Can't you tell?
**[28:18] ---**
What?
**[28:20] ---**
I'm afraid I'm not equipped
with a sense of touch,
**[28:23] ---**
so that's a bit beyond me.
**[28:26] ---**
Oh. Sheesh, and I was planning
on surprising you, too!
**[28:30] ---**
It's a shame.
**[28:31] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[28:33] ---**
Nothing to apologize for!
**[28:35] ---**
But... I finally got to meet you.
**[28:38] ---**
Number 9, what brought you here to see me?
**[28:41] ---**
Well, there was a missile attack on
you guys, so I came to rescue you.
**[28:47] ---**
You didn't know that, either?
**[28:48] ---**
No, I didn't. So, how will you
protect me from more missiles?
**[28:53] ---**
Good question. I haven't actually
thought through any strategies.
**[29:02] ---**
Hey, Number 1 just asked
for his trailer to be moved!
**[29:08] ---**
So this time, he plans to steal just his own Juiz?
**[29:17] ---**
Juiz, would you make it so I can
drive a trailer? Like in *The Matrix*!
**[29:23] ---**
Pardon?
**[29:25] ---**
Number 9, you're already
licensed to drive all vehicle classes,
**[29:28] ---**
from Heavy down to Motorcycle.
**[29:31] ---**
Huh? I am?!
**[29:36] ---**
It's true!
**[29:38] ---**
Okay, Juiz, I just had a great idea.
**[29:49] ---**
Now Number 9 is doing it?
**[29:51] ---**
But it's not in his activity log.
**[29:54] ---**
Does that mean he's driving it himself?
**[29:56] ---**
Oh, I get it-- to keep from getting blown up,
**[29:59] ---**
he just has to stick with Number 1's trailer!
**[30:02] ---**
That's my Number 9!
**[30:07] ---**
Should we tell Grandfather about this?
**[30:11] ---**
Hmm... that's a violation of the rules, too.
**[30:14] ---**
Because it's something he's
doing without Juiz's help.
**[30:17] ---**
So the other Seleção have no way of knowing--
**[30:21] ---**
and that goes for Grandfather, too.
**[30:25] ---**
Good point.
**[30:30] ---**
Huh?! He says he's driving Juiz!
**[30:33] ---**
Yep. It looks like that Number 1
guy is headed into town...
**[30:38] ---**
Where are you guys right now?
**[30:42] ---**
We're in the tunnel.
**[30:45] ---**
For real? I am, too!
**[30:49] ---**
So are you driving through the
tunnel right next to ours, then?
**[30:56] ---**
Tell him we'll contact him again
after we U-turn at Umihotaru.
**[31:01] ---**
You heard him.
**[31:04] ---**
Hijacking Juiz, eh? He never changes.
**[31:07] ---**
Number 3?
**[31:09] ---**
"Sweets for Saizo"?
**[31:12] ---**
"Saizo"... as in Saizo Ato?
**[31:29] ---**
If I had Yuki, I could send him
to pay a visit in advance...
**[31:38] ---**
Juiz, I'd like you to pass on a
message to this sweets parlor.
**[31:55] ---**
So I'm not Japanese anymore.
**[32:01] ---**
Are you two going to pack it in
anytime soon? I want to close up shop.
**[32:06] ---**
U-Um...
**[32:07] ---**
Two more mango lassis, please.
**[32:16] ---**
Great, it sounds like you've
brought me some unwanted guests.
**[32:22] ---**
No way will the tab for
your drinks be worth this.
**[32:30] ---**
Right. Right. Yep, I was just
lookin' at the same entry.
**[32:39] ---**
According to the detail log, he's in Tokyo,
**[32:43] ---**
but doesn't Number 3 live in Fukuoka?
**[32:48] ---**
What's the problem, Kasuga?
**[32:51] ---**
Master, I think Public Security
may have had us all along.
**[32:58] ---**
Until a few years ago,
this room was the stronghold
**[33:00] ---**
for a group of extremist students called
the "Eastern Federation of Revolutionaries."
**[33:04] ---**
Putting that together
with our current situation...
**[33:07] ---**
It would be a cinch to frame Eden of
the East as a terrorist organization.
**[33:16] ---**
You're wanted for trespassing
**[33:19] ---**
and aiding and abetting subversive activities!
**[33:21] ---**
Come out of there right now!
**[33:26] ---**
What is it, Underpants?
**[33:28] ---**
Hey, Underpa--
**[33:32] ---**
I have a hiding place ready
for just this sort of occasion.
**[33:39] ---**
This way.
**[33:42] ---**
Looks pretty cramped for two people.
**[33:51] ---**
Hey.
**[34:30] ---**
Kasuga, did you dig this tunnel?
**[34:35] ---**
It's a magic trick!
**[34:38] ---**
All right, actually, during the
All-Campus Joint Struggle Committee era,
**[34:42] ---**
the Eastern Federation of Revolutionaries
dug this tunnel on sect orders,
**[34:46] ---**
aiming far to the east in an effort
to join the Narita Airport protests.
**[34:52] ---**
I see. To think some tunnel built
for baby boomers to play militant in
**[34:57] ---**
is savin' my ass...
**[35:00] ---**
We're using the legacy of
that despicable generation
**[35:02] ---**
to outwit our enemies.
**[35:04] ---**
I'm getting a big kick out of this!
**[35:07] ---**
Still, I dunno if we had to go
actively acceptin' this inheritance...
**[35:30] ---**
Glad to see you back, Takizawa!
**[35:33] ---**
Takky!
**[35:34] ---**
Hey, long time no see.
**[35:36] ---**
How've you been, Mittan?
**[35:39] ---**
I'm not "Mittan."
**[35:41] ---**
You guys haven't changed a bit.
**[35:44] ---**
Okay, I'll jump right into it:
that driver's taking a break.
**[35:48] ---**
So Hirasawa, you snag Trailer 1 and drive it.
**[35:52] ---**
See, even on the off chance more
missiles get launched, Trailer 1 is safe.
**[35:55] ---**
H-Hey! I can't drive Heavy-class vehicles!
**[35:59] ---**
I managed it, so you'll be fine!
**[36:02] ---**
I don't know about this...
**[36:05] ---**
I just remembered:
I have a Heavy-class license.
**[36:09] ---**
What?!
**[36:20] ---**
Woo-hoo! Hang on tight!
**[36:30] ---**
Here we go! You be sure to keep up!
**[36:33] ---**
Hey, where are we going, anyway?!
**[36:44] ---**
Here you go.
**[36:47] ---**
Take a look out front,
but don't make it obvious.
**[36:51] ---**
There's a window in the
storage closet by the bathroom.
**[36:54] ---**
You can escape that way.
**[36:57] ---**
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going first.
**[37:54] ---**
Saki, I'll hold them off here. You go after her.
**[38:00] ---**
If Takizawa really is Seijiro linuma's son,
**[38:03] ---**
he might be able to turn
this whole thing around.
**[38:07] ---**
So you do whatever you have
to do to get the truth from her.
**[38:10] ---**
But--!
**[38:12] ---**
Osugi!
**[38:14] ---**
Go, Saki!
**[38:21] ---**
Thanks, Osugi.
**[38:34] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry, gentlemen,
but we're closed for the night!
**[38:46] ---**
It looks like tomorrow's summons
will turn pretty interesting.
**[38:53] ---**
Mr. Mononobe, I'm getting close to
a checkmate even without my phone.
**[39:00] ---**
The Regional Tax Bureau?!
**[39:03] ---**
2G, we've got problems!
**[39:06] ---**
The tax inspectors are storming us!
**[39:13] ---**
Not bad, you bastard.
**[39:21] ---**
So you're okay.
**[39:23] ---**
Well? Have you figured out the connection
between Number 3 and Mr. Outside?
**[39:27] ---**
Not yet. But lookin' at Number 3's log,
**[39:33] ---**
she placed an order with a sweets
parlor in Shinbashi called "Odafuji"...
**[39:38] ---**
...and Number 1 just put in a request to
send a message along with the sweets.
**[39:46] ---**
And get a load of the message...
**[39:58] ---**
I see. Takizawa has his hands full right now.
**[40:02] ---**
I'll go. Send me the detail log.
**[40:05] ---**
Hey, hold it! It's too dangerous to go alone!
**[40:08] ---**
Anythin' could happen!
**[40:11] ---**
If something does, I'll leave the rest to you.
**[40:14] ---**
I know Eden will be safe in your hands.
**[40:17] ---**
Don't even joke about that, ya dipshit!
**[40:19] ---**
Be nice to Micchon, okay?
**[40:22] ---**
She was mad when you hung up on her earlier.
**[40:40] ---**
Wait, please!
**[40:46] ---**
I'm sorry, but I borrowed this without asking.
**[40:51] ---**
This photo is of you and
Prime Minister linuma, isn't it?
**[40:58] ---**
And... you're pregnant in it.
**[41:03] ---**
Wasn't that child Takizawa?
**[41:18] ---**
Takizawa's past is
disappearing even as we speak.
**[41:22] ---**
But if he found out about his past with you,
I think it would really help him.
**[41:28] ---**
Even if the public ends up
reviling him as a terrorist,
**[41:34] ---**
if he's really Prime Minister linuma's son,
**[41:38] ---**
he might be able to do
something about this situation.
**[41:42] ---**
Please tell me.
**[41:44] ---**
You're his mother, aren't you?
**[41:56] ---**
This picture really takes me back.
**[42:00] ---**
Here's what I believe:
money's the great equalizer.
**[42:04] ---**
If you have it, age and status mean nothing.
**[42:09] ---**
To put it coarsely, I'm the type of person
who thinks money is everything.
**[42:16] ---**
So if I were to tell my son
anything, it would be that.
**[42:24] ---**
So, what does he think now about
being given 500 yen and abandoned?
**[42:32] ---**
How does he feel about money?
**[42:38] ---**
It's a long story, but Takizawa
was put in a position
**[42:41] ---**
where he could use ten billion
yen however he wanted.
**[42:44] ---**
But he never spent a single yen on himself.
**[42:49] ---**
That's the kind of person he is.
**[42:52] ---**
I see...
**[42:55] ---**
He's not my son, then.
**[43:17] ---**
Manage the rest of this on your own.
**[43:33] ---**
Saki!
**[43:37] ---**
Wasn't Aya Takizawa's mother?
**[43:40] ---**
Yeah, she was his mother.
**[43:46] ---**
I mean, she said she'd given him 500 yen...
**[44:40] ---**
I should just call Takizawa, right?
**[44:44] ---**
And say, "I found your mother."
**[44:47] ---**
"She really was your mother."
**[44:51] ---**
Why are you hesitating, then?
**[44:54] ---**
Because if I tell him that... if I tell him...
**[44:59] ---**
...I don't think he'll ever
come back to me again!
**[45:08] ---**
Saki...
**[45:13] ---**
No! You can't give up!
**[45:17] ---**
Let's go see Takizawa. We'll go
see him, and talk to him in person.
**[45:21] ---**
I'm sure he's waiting for
you to come to him, Saki.
**[45:36] ---**
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
**[45:44] ---**
Sit.
**[45:51] ---**
First you disappear from the airport,
then you come back in a trailer truck.
**[45:57] ---**
Moreover, I'm told it's the same trailer
**[45:59] ---**
that the government launched
an attack on last night.
**[46:03] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[46:06] ---**
Well, you see, without that truck,
I can't salvage this situation,
**[46:11] ---**
so that's why I brought it with me...
**[46:14] ---**
But I guess it's an inconvenience, huh?
**[46:17] ---**
Very bold. As a terrorist, you're first-rate.
**[46:22] ---**
I'm not a terrorist!
**[46:24] ---**
Then what are you?
**[46:29] ---**
It's hard to explain, but to
make a long story short,
**[46:33] ---**
I'm one of the people chosen
to make this country better...
**[46:37] ---**
All terrorists say that.
**[46:40] ---**
Uh, well, but you see...
Aw, man. How should I phrase this?
**[46:47] ---**
I'm not interested in hearing
any more about that.
**[46:50] ---**
I have no intention of arguing
about your position right now.
**[46:55] ---**
What I want clarified, right here
and now, is what you're after.
**[47:00] ---**
I want to know why
**[47:03] ---**
you appeared here calling
yourself linuma's illegitimate son.
**[47:07] ---**
Was it money? Or is this one of
the terrorist acts you thought up?
**[47:13] ---**
Of course not! I never intended
to become linuma's son...
**[47:19] ---**
I can't really put it very well,
**[47:21] ---**
but I just wanted to become
king of this country
**[47:25] ---**
so I'd be someone who could support
people who are having a rough time.
**[47:30] ---**
And then somewhere along the way
that got turned into "prime minister"...
**[47:35] ---**
Do you understand what you're saying to me?
**[47:39] ---**
Yes. And I know it sounds crazy, too.
**[47:45] ---**
But it's true.
**[47:50] ---**
I'd honestly rather not
become king if I can avoid it.
**[47:54] ---**
If I do, I'm sure people will dump
all the responsibility on me,
**[47:59] ---**
and everyone will complain about me.
**[48:02] ---**
I think I probably won't be able to
stick it out unless I erase my memories.
**[48:09] ---**
But my request was accepted, and that
must mean there's something I can do.
**[48:16] ---**
Your request to become king was "accepted"...?
**[48:23] ---**
My husband retired from politics and
went back to being a private citizen.
**[48:27] ---**
He was finally about to spend
the remainder of his life carefree,
**[48:31] ---**
and then he became Prime Minister
again at the urging of his supporters.
**[48:35] ---**
But in the end, he passed away
before he was able to do anything.
**[48:41] ---**
Even if you achieve the status of "Iinuma's son,"
**[48:46] ---**
your path won't be easy.
**[48:50] ---**
You'll have even less power than a terrorist.
**[48:54] ---**
I know. But if nothing else, I can't
quit until I punch out the man
**[48:58] ---**
who dumped everything into my lap.
**[49:30] ---**
Mr. Mononobe? But how
did he know to look here?
**[49:37] ---**
"Mr. Mononobe"...? Hey, did he
come here to see me, by any chance?
**[49:43] ---**
Yes, he did say he'd come to see you...
**[49:49] ---**
I just don't know what to think anymore.
**[49:53] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[49:55] ---**
Very well. Use the study.
**[49:59] ---**
However, I'm to be summoned before
the Diet as an unsworn witness tomorrow.
**[50:07] ---**
I may have temporarily harbored you here
**[50:10] ---**
in light of the possibility that
you were my husband's son,
**[50:13] ---**
but ultimately, I will have
to report you as a terrorist.
**[50:18] ---**
Understood. That's fine with me.
**[50:49] ---**
So it's been a full thirty years
since anyone's seen him...
**[51:05] ---**
I have to hand it to you:
you even got Juiz to like you.
**[51:11] ---**
Not only that, you just kept
making out-of-nowhere requests
**[51:16] ---**
that surpassed mine,
and neatly turned the tables.
**[51:19] ---**
You've completely trounced me in this game.
**[51:23] ---**
You came here to tell me that?
**[51:25] ---**
Yes. And to ask you for a favor.
**[51:29] ---**
Would you be willing to
withdraw from the game?
**[51:36] ---**
I've wanted to change this country
since before I became a bureaucrat.
**[51:41] ---**
But the reality was that far too
many problems had accumulated,
**[51:46] ---**
and becoming a bureaucrat wasn't
enough to solve them by honest means.
**[51:52] ---**
Still, time was too precious to waste
waiting for the government to collapse.
**[51:56] ---**
That was when I got this phone.
**[52:40] ---**
Excuse me, are you... Mr. Saizo Ato?
**[52:50] ---**
Who are you?
**[52:53] ---**
I'm Kazuomi Hirasawa, a friend of Number 9's.
**[52:58] ---**
I came here to ask you something, if I may.
**[53:20] ---**
Sir...
**[53:21] ---**
If someone gave you ten billion yen
and told you to improve this country,
**[53:26] ---**
how would you use that money?
**[53:34] ---**
Did you use that question to select the
Seleção from among your passengers?
**[53:42] ---**
What am I going to do about that Toshiko?
**[53:47] ---**
Well? What do you want?
**[53:52] ---**
It seems you don't intend to stop the game,
**[53:55] ---**
no matter what kind of requests are made...
**[53:58] ---**
But what exactly is the name of the game here?
**[54:03] ---**
When Ato asked me how I
would spend ten billion yen,
**[54:08] ---**
I told him the first thing
that this country ought to do
**[54:10] ---**
was go on a diet, on a nationwide scale.
**[54:14] ---**
A government-led redistribution
of useful human resources
**[54:17] ---**
where the only priority is
the effective functioning
**[54:19] ---**
of those sectors with global currency.
**[54:22] ---**
I said we had to make Japan
small and light on its feet like that.
**[54:30] ---**
To get it done fast, I had to
temporarily emasculate the government.
**[54:36] ---**
And that's what those missiles were for...!
**[54:38] ---**
Quite. But really, it needn't have been missiles.
**[54:43] ---**
Anything that put a lot of pressure on
the nation would have done for a start.
**[54:48] ---**
Because after that, the magic cell
phone would no longer be necessary;
**[54:52] ---**
I could take my time getting the rest
done by working my connections.
**[54:58] ---**
So everything I did was...
**[55:00] ---**
I got you and Yuki to help
me with the dirty work.
**[55:06] ---**
I am grateful, you know.
**[55:12] ---**
If that was the plan, you should
have just told me in the first place.
**[55:16] ---**
I've done a bunch of stuff
because they say we'll get killed
**[55:18] ---**
if we don't make an effort to win,
**[55:20] ---**
but if I'd been able to
team up with other Seleção,
**[55:23] ---**
maybe we could've come up
with even better ideas.
**[55:27] ---**
There's just one problem there: I hate losing.
**[55:32] ---**
Then you should be
Prime Minister, Mr. Mononobe.
**[55:35] ---**
You're way better for the part than I am!
**[55:44] ---**
I'll open the gate right now.
It's okay, nobody's looking.
**[55:51] ---**
Where's Takizawa?
**[55:53] ---**
He still hasn't come out of the mansion.
**[55:55] ---**
So, did you find his mom?
**[55:58] ---**
Yeah. There's something I need
to tell him about that directly...
**[56:05] ---**
I'll happily bow out of the game
if you'll be the Prime Minister.
**[56:11] ---**
I'll even support you.
**[56:14] ---**
I'm afraid I'll pass on the
"prime minister" and "king" stuff.
**[56:19] ---**
The Japanese citizenry is a pack
of a hundred million egoists.
**[56:23] ---**
You know that painfully well, don't you?
**[56:28] ---**
I guess...
**[56:30] ---**
In this day and age, the Prime
Minister is just a sacrificial lamb.
**[56:34] ---**
You could say he's an outlet
for the stress of Japan's citizens,
**[56:37] ---**
who gained their freedom and became unfree.
**[56:40] ---**
After all, even Seijiro linuma died
without managing to help anything.
**[56:46] ---**
How do you mean to make this
country light on its feet, then?
**[56:52] ---**
First of all, I'll steal the citizens'
freedom without their noticing.
**[56:58] ---**
You see, they're an irresponsible lot
who can't decide anything for themselves,
**[57:02] ---**
but they still hate having to go
along with what other people want.
**[57:05] ---**
So my plan is to reestablish the Home Ministry
**[57:08] ---**
and change Japan from there.
**[57:12] ---**
What's the "Home Ministry"?
**[57:14] ---**
You don't even know that,
and you wanted to be Prime Minister?
**[57:29] ---**
Yes?
**[57:31] ---**
Hello, Takizawa?
**[57:33] ---**
Saki?
**[57:34] ---**
I'm sorry, I couldn't contact you before.
**[57:37] ---**
It's okay. So, about your mother...
**[57:43] ---**
How did it go?
**[57:44] ---**
I found her. That woman you told
me about really was your mother.
**[57:52] ---**
She's operating a bar in Mishuku.
**[57:54] ---**
Really?
**[57:56] ---**
Yeah. Her name is Aya Iwashita,
**[58:02] ---**
and apparently she was linuma's lover
while he was still a Diet member.
**[58:06] ---**
Remember when you told me
**[58:08] ---**
the rent on that hotel room in
New York had been paid all along?
**[58:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[58:14] ---**
I think Aya was living there twenty years ago.
**[58:19] ---**
Because we saw a picture of
her and Prime Minister linuma
**[58:22] ---**
that was taken while she
was pregnant in New York.
**[58:25] ---**
So you really are his son, Takizawa.
**[59:02] ---**
So that's what happened...
**[59:07] ---**
I guess that's why I had
memories of New York, too.
**[59:12] ---**
Saki, where are you right now?
**[59:15] ---**
In front of the mansion.
I'm with Micchon and the others.
**[59:25] ---**
I see you now, Saki.
**[59:30] ---**
Takizawa...
**[59:32] ---**
I feel better now, knowing I've
got a past just like anyone else.
**[59:35] ---**
And now I've kind of got a feel
for what my mother is like.
**[59:40] ---**
Thanks, Saki.
**[59:52] ---**
It looks like you've managed
to get back your past.
**[59:55] ---**
So, how does it feel to become
the Prime Minister's son?
**[59:59] ---**
You knew, Mr. Mononobe?
**[1:00:03] ---**
Eh, it doesn't feel real, somehow.
**[1:00:06] ---**
Let's get back to business, shall we?
**[1:00:10] ---**
I'll match the remaining balance on
your phone in cash as getaway money.
**[1:00:17] ---**
From now on, you won't have
to worry about the Supporter.
**[1:00:19] ---**
I'm willing to clear your
compatriots of suspicion as well.
**[1:00:22] ---**
Given those terms, would you agree to
disappear? You can go anywhere you like.
**[1:00:28] ---**
That might not be so bad.
**[1:00:33] ---**
I do have one question.
**[1:00:35] ---**
These "citizens" you've been
talking about-- what are they, to you?
**[1:00:41] ---**
Foolish question.
**[1:00:43] ---**
The "citizens" are nothing more than a
collection of parts forming the nation.
**[1:00:48] ---**
Not anything to have personal emotions about.
**[1:00:52] ---**
But each one is an individual *person*
who wants to be somebody, right?
**[1:00:57] ---**
That's a nuisance.
**[1:01:00] ---**
It's not even possible for *all*
of them to become "somebody."
**[1:01:05] ---**
True, but I think respecting
the individual a little more
**[1:01:09] ---**
would give you more energy to work with.
**[1:01:14] ---**
I mean, if nobody had told me I was
one of the people chosen to save Japan,
**[1:01:19] ---**
I doubt I could've accomplished this much.
**[1:01:23] ---**
I think your way of doing things
hasn't got quite enough love.
**[1:01:29] ---**
Does that mean you're
turning down my proposal?
**[1:01:33] ---**
There is that, but I'm also thinking of
making a formal demand of this country,
**[1:01:38] ---**
as a terrorist.
**[1:01:43] ---**
At first I thought I'd become king
and do something for people,
**[1:01:47] ---**
but it doesn't look like
there's even time for that...
**[1:01:51] ---**
I'll act as the me who's "nobody,"
just like at the White House.
**[1:01:59] ---**
Yes, this is Juiz.
**[1:02:00] ---**
Juiz, I'd like to get all of Japan's
citizens on the phone right away.
**[1:02:05] ---**
Is that something you can do?
**[1:02:07] ---**
I believe the communications
fee would be immense.
**[1:02:11] ---**
It's possible your balance will
reach zero before you're finished...
**[1:02:16] ---**
Is that all right with you?
**[1:02:18] ---**
Nah, that's no good...
**[1:02:21] ---**
I want to leave at least a
hundred million in the account.
**[1:02:24] ---**
In that case, it's a tall order.
**[1:02:28] ---**
Oh...
**[1:02:32] ---**
I know, let's use *that*!
**[1:02:37] ---**
Please tell me one thing.
**[1:02:39] ---**
When you asked Takizawa
how he'd spend ten billion yen,
**[1:02:42] ---**
what did he say?
**[1:02:45] ---**
I never asked that boy that question.
**[1:02:56] ---**
Could I have one of your newspapers?
**[1:03:01] ---**
Sure.
**[1:03:09] ---**
You don't have to pay me.
**[1:03:10] ---**
The people who only want one copy
are the ones who really want to read it.
**[1:03:16] ---**
It's still one of your wares, isn't it?
**[1:03:19] ---**
It's okay, I'll get money from the people
**[1:03:20] ---**
who subscribe to the paper
even though they never read it.
**[1:03:22] ---**
Although, those are the ones
who always try to avoid paying...
**[1:03:27] ---**
Very true.
**[1:03:33] ---**
By the way, boy,
**[1:03:34] ---**
why are you delivering
papers in this day and age?
**[1:03:41] ---**
Maybe I'm practicing receiving money.
**[1:03:48] ---**
People are funny. Even a five-year-old
kid knows how to pay money,
**[1:03:53] ---**
but sometimes even adults
don't know how to receive it.
**[1:03:57] ---**
Because using money is a nicer feeling
**[1:03:59] ---**
than bowing down to someone to receive it...
**[1:04:02] ---**
People tend to claim that the
consumer has the most power,
**[1:04:04] ---**
saying "the customer is king,"
**[1:04:07] ---**
but really, that's just how
the *seller* feels, right?
**[1:04:11] ---**
True...
**[1:04:13] ---**
But if we all became buyers,
**[1:04:16] ---**
who'd provide the services?
That's the question, huh?
**[1:04:21] ---**
Me, I think it's probably
healthier for a society to think
**[1:04:24] ---**
that receiving money is
more fun than paying it.
**[1:04:31] ---**
Is that the reason you chose him as a Seleção?
**[1:04:37] ---**
No... you were more interested in
how he came to that conclusion!
**[1:04:46] ---**
It looks like our opinions
never did mesh in the end.
**[1:04:50] ---**
Really? To me it seems like we're
looking in the same direction.
**[1:04:56] ---**
Do as you like.
**[1:05:07] ---**
Hello?
**[1:05:12] ---**
M-M-Master, it's a direct call from Juiz!
**[1:05:15] ---**
What?!
**[1:05:18] ---**
I'm calling at Number 9's request.
**[1:05:21] ---**
Vintage Boy's?
**[1:05:22] ---**
Yes. He'd like to borrow the
Airship phone you created
**[1:05:26] ---**
to connect all the cell phones
in Japan to Eden of the East.
**[1:05:30] ---**
What the heck is he up to this time?!
**[1:06:01] ---**
It's from Takky.
**[1:06:03] ---**
Here he is, Master!
**[1:07:01] ---**
Good morning, everyone.
**[1:07:03] ---**
I'm the man behind Careless Monday
and the other terrorist attacks:
**[1:07:08] ---**
Akira Takizawa, a.k.a. the Air King.
**[1:07:12] ---**
Bang!
**[1:07:14] ---**
I came home as Prime Minister
Iinuma's son yesterday
**[1:07:17] ---**
to capture your attention,
**[1:07:21] ---**
but in actuality, I have no relation
to our late Prime Minister.
**[1:07:27] ---**
Before I do anything else, I'd like
to offer my heartfelt apologies
**[1:07:30] ---**
for all the trouble I caused
his family and friends.
**[1:07:36] ---**
Takky, what are you doing?!
You're wasting all of Saki's hard work!
**[1:07:44] ---**
Now, to get down to business...
**[1:07:47] ---**
Everybody listen up, because I'm about
to announce a new terrorist attack.
**[1:07:53] ---**
I'm planning to once again assemble
a giant crowd of young people
**[1:07:57] ---**
and leave here for Paradise with them.
**[1:08:00] ---**
This time, I'm anticipating far more than
the mere 20,000 from six months ago.
**[1:08:06] ---**
What this means is that Japan will
lose the workforce vital to its future!
**[1:08:13] ---**
If you want to avoid that, your only
choice is to meet my demands.
**[1:08:20] ---**
What's the point of you becoming
the Pied Piper of Hamelin again?
**[1:08:25] ---**
There is only one way to do that!
**[1:08:29] ---**
I want all you old guys who take
it for granted you're the winners
**[1:08:32] ---**
to resolve to give up everything
you've so eagerly hoarded
**[1:08:36] ---**
and set out for a new Paradise with us.
**[1:08:42] ---**
That's my demand.
**[1:08:46] ---**
If you don't meet it, then soon our
world's existing values will be lost,
**[1:08:51] ---**
and the paradise you
envisioned will be lost as well.
**[1:08:55] ---**
My previous missile attacks were
just exercises to prepare for today.
**[1:09:01] ---**
If you ignore my demand, something even
more fearsome will befall this country.
**[1:09:07] ---**
But if you do what I've said, even a little,
**[1:09:12] ---**
I'm sure great things lie in store!
**[1:09:18] ---**
So, for right now, I'll be sending you
each one yen in electronic funds.
**[1:09:25] ---**
This is my parting gift to you,
**[1:09:29] ---**
as well as a promissory note proving
that what I've said *will* come true.
**[1:09:38] ---**
Juiz, send one yen each to all the
cell phones we're connected to for me.
**[1:09:47] ---**
Accepted. I sincerely pray you shall
continue to be a king full of love
**[1:09:53] ---**
who gives fear and hope to all his citizens.
**[1:10:16] ---**
And now, to all you NEETs
holding sit-ins in your homes!
**[1:10:21] ---**
It's your turn now.
**[1:10:24] ---**
Gather in the promised land,
Eden of the East, using the Airship!
**[1:10:29] ---**
I'll be waiting.
**[1:10:35] ---**
What is he playing at?
**[1:10:38] ---**
No matter how witty you are,
reason won't get people to do anything.
**[1:10:42] ---**
Once, we worked like hell to
do something for this country.
**[1:10:49] ---**
But now people call it a
"blemish on our history," a "mistake."
**[1:10:57] ---**
Then again, at the time we were novices
who didn't know left from right.
**[1:11:05] ---**
If everything we built up was wrong,
then what would have been right?
**[1:11:15] ---**
What's more, just when we thought
we'd finally achieved something,
**[1:11:19] ---**
the world's rules all changed on us.
**[1:11:23] ---**
New ideas arose and became dominant
**[1:11:26] ---**
before our country gained more depth.
**[1:11:32] ---**
It's harsh to tell the elderly to accept that,
**[1:11:36] ---**
but he wants us to transfer
our authority to them
**[1:11:39] ---**
and try giving them responsibility, eh?
**[1:11:44] ---**
The truth is that the only reason
Ryoma Sakamoto and Jiro Shirasu,
**[1:11:47] ---**
both so beloved by the Japanese,
**[1:11:49] ---**
escaped with their finery unsullied
**[1:11:52] ---**
is because they chose to play their cards
in ways that kept their noses clean.
**[1:11:56] ---**
But the true saviors of this
country are history's losers:
**[1:12:00] ---**
the nameless masses who
toiled steadily every day
**[1:12:03] ---**
and left this world tainted
by crushing losses as a result.
**[1:12:08] ---**
In a time when unconscious hatred
of that truth is often tolerated,
**[1:12:13] ---**
Number 9 has decided to go out on a
limb for them and become a scapegoat...
**[1:12:19] ---**
Fascinating.
**[1:12:22] ---**
I'll close the curtain on
this game for the time being.
**[1:12:26] ---**
The winner has been decided!
**[1:12:36] ---**
Did that phone call really
go out to everyone in Japan?
**[1:12:41] ---**
Yeah, I think so.
**[1:12:44] ---**
I know I caused you trouble.
**[1:12:46] ---**
I guess I'll flee as a terrorist.
I'll leave the witness summons to you.
**[1:12:53] ---**
Very well. Go, then.
**[1:13:03] ---**
Oh, and take this.
**[1:13:07] ---**
I don't believe I need to look at it now.
**[1:13:17] ---**
He reminds me a bit of Mr. Iinuma, in a way.
**[1:13:22] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[1:13:25] ---**
It's fine. If that's what you think, I don't mind...
**[1:13:35] ---**
Your methods are as drastic as ever.
**[1:13:39] ---**
However, the people of Japan
are astonishingly cynical.
**[1:13:44] ---**
You'd be wise not to expect to get
what you want from them so easily.
**[1:13:48] ---**
That's a sad way of thinking.
**[1:13:51] ---**
But it's reality.
**[1:14:01] ---**
Mr. Mononobe!
**[1:14:07] ---**
Good day, Seleção. This is Mr. Outside.
**[1:14:13] ---**
I realize this is sudden, but I've decided
**[1:14:16] ---**
to end our current game as of this phone call.
**[1:14:19] ---**
I'm satisfied with your actions overall.
**[1:14:24] ---**
Therefore, I have decided
to declare you all victors.
**[1:14:28] ---**
I count on you to continue to be people
who steer Japan in a better direction.
**[1:14:35] ---**
Whatever, I've always done that.
**[1:14:42] ---**
Finally, as a token of my
thanks for your participation,
**[1:14:46] ---**
I offer you the greatest of gifts.
**[1:14:50] ---**
I very much want you to have it.
**[1:14:53] ---**
It's something I've had
prepared from the beginning,
**[1:14:57] ---**
as an exclusive bonus for the Seleção.
**[1:15:01] ---**
Noblesse oblige.
**[1:15:06] ---**
I sincerely pray you shall continue
to be this country's latent saviors.
**[1:15:12] ---**
"Latent"?
**[1:15:26] ---**
Hey there, beautiful, why're
you shaking? Are you hungry?
**[1:15:32] ---**
Would you like to lick on my lollipop?
**[1:15:39] ---**
Stop it! Wait, who am I, again?!
**[1:16:01] ---**
Thank you, Saizo.
**[1:16:05] ---**
Take care.
**[1:16:23] ---**
What present did you give them?
**[1:16:27] ---**
When I delivered the cell phones,
I planted a little something in here.
**[1:16:33] ---**
Now they'll be completely
released from the game.
**[1:16:40] ---**
Why, you...!
**[1:16:41] ---**
How much do you have to manipulate
people's lives before you're satisfied?!
**[1:16:46] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[1:16:48] ---**
I'm not so far gone I'd lose to the likes of you!
**[1:17:37] ---**
Takky!
**[1:17:38] ---**
Takizawa!
**[1:17:43] ---**
What's the matter, Takizawa?
**[1:18:03] ---**
Excuse me, I was told I could find
a man named Takizawa here...
**[1:18:11] ---**
Mr. Mononobe!
**[1:18:13] ---**
Who are you? You're in my way, you know.
**[1:18:18] ---**
You don't even remember me,
after using me like you did?!
**[1:18:36] ---**
Damn it!
**[1:18:50] ---**
So did I get away without hearing that noise
**[1:18:54] ---**
because I'd erased my memories before?
**[1:18:58] ---**
Whatever, Takky, what are you going to do
**[1:19:00] ---**
now that you've said *that* to all of Japan?
**[1:19:04] ---**
Don't worry, I'm sure it'll all work out fine!
**[1:19:10] ---**
I know your message will get through to them.
**[1:19:15] ---**
Thank you, Saki.
**[1:19:17] ---**
Sure.
**[1:19:23] ---**
I wonder if Mom was listening, too...
**[1:19:40] ---**
You've gotta be kidding! Man, what a mom...
**[1:19:44] ---**
How much crazy stuff has she pulled?
**[1:19:52] ---**
What, so you're not even the PM's bastard kid?!
**[1:19:57] ---**
Guess not.
**[1:19:59] ---**
But I guess that's okay.
It's less trouble for Chigusa.
**[1:20:03] ---**
That's nice, but Takky,
this means you're just a terrorist!
**[1:20:08] ---**
Seems to me you're in trouble now.
**[1:20:10] ---**
She's right! I bet the whole
country's freaking out!
**[1:20:14] ---**
Good point...
**[1:20:20] ---**
Well, anyway, I'm going.
**[1:20:23] ---**
Going where? Do you understand
how Saki felt coming here?!
**[1:20:31] ---**
Takizawa... I...
**[1:20:35] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[1:20:37] ---**
But I remembered one last
thing I really have to do.
**[1:20:43] ---**
After I've finished that,
I'll come back to you for sure.
**[1:20:51] ---**
I'll see you.
**[1:20:53] ---**
Tell Hirasawa and Itazu and Kasuga thanks, too!
**[1:21:34] ---**
You'd better come back. You promised me.
**[1:21:39] ---**
Yeah. I'll come back for sure.
**[1:22:02] ---**
*So far, that's the last we've seen of Takizawa.*
**[1:22:09] ---**
*Apparently, after his terrorist threat,
the Seleção game ended,*
**[1:22:15] ---**
*and his request to become king was canceled.*
**[1:22:21] ---**
*So he's still a man shrouded in mystery...*
**[1:22:28] ---**
*But there were more than a few people*
**[1:22:32] ---**
*who'd be happy to see him crowned king anyway.*
**[1:22:35] ---**
*Take Chigusa.*
**[1:22:37] ---**
*Takizawa and the Prime Minister
weren't related by blood,*
**[1:22:41] ---**
*but in the course of her short
yet intense involvement with him,*
**[1:22:44] ---**
*she sensed the same fire in his blood
that had burned in her husband's.*
**[1:22:52] ---**
*And Aya, who'd tacitly
admitted Takizawa was her son,*
**[1:22:58] ---**
*has disappeared again,
along with the mini Shiba.*
**[1:23:02] ---**
*I think she must have circumstances
she can't tell anyone about,*
**[1:23:05] ---**
*and she intends to keep the secrets
of Takizawa's birth for life.*
**[1:23:22] ---**
*The NEETs that gathered at Takizawa's call*
**[1:23:26] ---**
*joined the AKX20000 in the mall,
which is practically a holy land by now,*
**[1:23:31] ---**
*and have started up a communal life
operating a daily flea market.*
**[1:23:36] ---**
*Unfortunately, Takizawa never came,*
**[1:23:41] ---**
*but even though they're furious at the Air King,*
**[1:23:44] ---**
*at the same time, they're eagerly
waiting for his Second Coming.*
**[1:23:48] ---**
*And as for the old guys who
were given that ultimatum...*
**[1:23:53] ---**
*At first some companies came for the NEETs,
obeying Takizawa's demand,*
**[1:23:58] ---**
*and announced that they'd be taking
a fresh look at their hiring systems--*
**[1:24:02] ---**
*but that didn't last long.*
**[1:24:05] ---**
*Even so, most of the NEETs
installed themselves in Toyosu,*
**[1:24:09] ---**
*made it their "Paradise,"*
**[1:24:11] ---**
*started up new economic activities,*
**[1:24:13] ---**
*and are helping Japan recover little by little.*
**[1:24:18] ---**
*And if you're wondering
what happened to us, well,*
**[1:24:22] ---**
*the public reaction to us was too much,*
**[1:24:25] ---**
*so Eden as a company closed
its doors for the time being.*
**[1:24:30] ---**
*Since then, at Hirasawa and Itazu's suggestion,*
**[1:24:34] ---**
*we've relocated to Toyosu and begun
pursuing a communal life with them*
**[1:24:39] ---**
*in order to create a more user-friendly system.*
**[1:24:46] ---**
*It's been six months since that day...*
**[1:24:49] ---**
*As far as I can tell, Japan doesn't
seem to have changed that much.*
**[1:24:55] ---**
*But someplace we can't see it,
some change must be underway.*
**[1:25:02] ---**
*I believe that.*
**[1:25:13] ---**
*And I know Takizawa must be dashing
around this city alone right now,*
**[1:25:17] ---**
*believing the same thing.*
**[1:25:29] ---**
*Carrying the burden of everyone's
hopes on his shoulders...*
**[1:25:47] ---**
*I dreamed that with a soft clap of my hands*
**[1:25:51] ---**
*All of my mysteries were solved*
**[1:25:58] ---**
*Reality doesn't go so smoothly*
**[1:26:01] ---**
*I know that all too well--
the whole world knows it*
**[1:26:08] ---**
*I dared to surrender myself
to the windy morning*
**[1:26:15] ---**
*When you laughed and said "attagirl"*
**[1:26:20] ---**
*Your breath gave me wings*
**[1:26:24] ---**
*I said I couldn't believe so easily
that tomorrow would come*
**[1:26:29] ---**
*And the sun would follow after the rain*
**[1:26:32] ---**
*As I lowered my lashes*
**[1:26:35] ---**
*I was making more rainclouds*
**[1:26:43] ---**
*And yet...*
**[1:26:46] ---**
*You said let's call tomorrow to us,
we'll have sun followed by more sun*
**[1:26:51] ---**
*Your face in profile
dispelled the clouds with ease*
**[1:26:57] ---**
*The future is so dazzling it entrances me*
**[1:27:04] ---**
*Ah, the world will change*
**[1:27:18] ---**
*I peered intently for so long*
**[1:27:21] ---**
*Wanting to know what color the world you see is*
**[1:27:29] ---**
*I can believe now*
**[1:27:32] ---**
*In the me that you believed in,
even in the dark of night*
**[1:28:00] ---**
*So that should these days of
chasing after you come to an end*
**[1:28:05] ---**
*I can keep holding your invisible hand*
**[1:28:10] ---**
*Carrying your light within*
**[1:28:14] ---**
*A new morning comes,
the world continues on today*
**[1:28:22] ---**
*The two of us peeked beyond tomorrow*
**[1:28:27] ---**
*Before I knew it, our smiles started looking alike*
**[1:28:32] ---**
*Somewhere in this town, a miracle's happening*
**[1:28:37] ---**
*Next to me, your face in profile is just grinning*
**[1:28:43] ---**
*If we've joined these hands
more certain than magic*
**[1:28:56] ---**
*I said I couldn't believe so easily
that tomorrow would come*
**[1:29:01] ---**
*And the sun would follow after the rain*
**[1:29:04] ---**
*As I lowered my lashes*
**[1:29:07] ---**
*I was making more rainclouds*
**[1:29:15] ---**
*Goodbye to that*
**[1:29:18] ---**
*You said let's call tomorrow to us,
we'll have sun followed by more sun*
**[1:29:23] ---**
*Your face in profile
dispelled the clouds with ease*
**[1:29:29] ---**
*The future is so dazzling it entrances me*
**[1:29:36] ---**
*Ah, the world will change*
**[1:29:42] ---**
*I'm certain it can change*
**[1:30:24] ---**
Sir.
**[1:30:25] ---**
If someone gave you ten billion yen
and told you to improve this country,
**[1:30:30] ---**
how would you use that money?
**[1:30:34] ---**
You're still doing that?
**[1:30:39] ---**
I finally found you, Mr. Outside!
**[1:30:52] ---**
Who are you?
**[1:30:55] ---**
Excuse me?! Don't you dare go senile on me!
**[1:30:59] ---**
You said if I won,
I'd automatically get to see you.
**[1:31:03] ---**
At least keep your promises!
**[1:31:18] ---**
Ah, now I feel better! All right,
let's say that makes things even.
**[1:31:23] ---**
So! I've got a lot of favors to ask you, old man.
**[1:31:29] ---**
For now, could you turn right
at the next intersection?
**[1:31:35] ---**
We still have a hell of a lot
more work we gotta do.
**[1:31:39] ---**
There's no time for fake senility, got it?!
**[1:31:46] ---**
*This is the story of Takizawa and me...
The story of just eleven days.*
