**[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.*
