[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.
