**[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*
