SEPTEMBER 13, 1999
[01:31] ---
This project is a light that will shine
upon the future of the 24th Ward.
[01:36] ---
Twenty years from now, the 24th Ward
will be incorporated into Tokyo.
[01:40] ---
That's when this island
will have no more accidents nor crime.
[01:44] ---
It'll be the model of an ideal city.
A "smart city."
[01:48] ---
That'll be all thanks to your research here.
[01:51] ---
Suido Zaibatsu will back you up.
[01:54] ---
Ms. Kanae Isshiki, please lend us a hand.
[01:58] ---
Oh no, the pleasure is all ours.
[02:04] ---
We can't trust Gori Suido.
[02:07] ---
You think so?
[02:08] ---
He's coming from the mainland
[02:10] ---
to use the 24th Ward as a guinea pig
because of its lax regulations.
[02:13] ---
Verification of autonomous driving
that uses cloud computing in conjunction.
[02:18] ---
He's 10 years ahead of others.
[02:20] ---
I'm glad that we'll have a budget,
but it's too good to be true.
[02:25] ---
Cautiousness is a good trait
that you have, Kuchikiri.
[02:28] ---
I did grow up in Shantytown after all.
[02:31] ---
You can't stop the flow of time.
[02:34] ---
If information technology continues
to advance at the current rate,
[02:37] ---
the world should be a completely different place
20 years from now.
[02:43] ---
Aren't you afraid of change?
[02:47] ---
Even if you're scared, the future will still come.
[03:00] ---
O-Ow...
[03:03] ---
Kuchikiri, are you all right?
[03:05] ---
Someone!
Someone, please call an ambulance!
[03:13] ---
Kuchikiri.
[03:15] ---
This is an accident. It's not your fault.
[03:18] ---
I'm the one who designed the program.
[03:20] ---
My AI calculated the values of life
and chose him as the sacrifice.
[03:26] ---
Oh, no.
[03:28] ---
Mr. Kuchikiri took my place?
[03:45] ---
Kuchikiri?
[03:47] ---
Kanae? Where are we?
[03:50] ---
A hospital. I'll call for someone.
[03:57] ---
What day is it today?
[04:08] ---
You can't read any letters?
[04:11] ---
They said it's a type of dyslexia.
[04:13] ---
It's pretty amusing.
[04:15] ---
Bugs are dancing within my field of vision.
[04:19] ---
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
[04:22] ---
It's nothing to worry about.
[04:24] ---
They said there have been cases
that heal over time.
[04:27] ---
Besides, Sakiko...
[04:29] ---
This may be a gift from god.
[04:33] ---
From god?
[04:35] ---
Until now, I devoted myself to research,
thinking technology will improve the future.
[04:41] ---
But now, I see the world
in a completely different light.
[04:46] ---
Can you lend me a pen?
[04:49] ---
In my eyes right now, the kanji
for my own name, Kuchikiri, looks like this.
[04:55] ---
Does that say 0th?
[04:58] ---
Yes, 0th. That has a wonderful ring to it.
[05:03] ---
Predictions of the future
are based on past data.
[05:07] ---
What was dangerous in the past
will still be dangerous in the future.
[05:10] ---
What was unnecessary in the past
will still be unnecessary in the future.
[05:13] ---
Quantification will fortify preexisting values.
[05:17] ---
However, human society has continued
to change, renovating its own past.
[05:21] ---
How people will live
cannot be decided solely from the past.
[05:25] ---
I have to believe in the possibilities of the future,
from each and every person.
[05:29] ---
But how can I quantify possibilities?
[05:34] ---
Who will be held responsible?
[05:36] ---
To resolve that...
[05:39] ---
But...
[05:41] ---
Come in.
[05:43] ---
Excuse me.
[05:45] ---
Mr. Suido.
[05:47] ---
It's not good to push yourself too hard.
[05:50] ---
I'm sorry.
[05:52] ---
I never want an accident like that
to happen ever again.
[05:59] ---
Ms. Kanae, you are a genius
in information engineering.
[06:03] ---
At a young age,
[06:04] ---
you completed a rudimentary thesis for the Next
Generation Macroscopic Complex Computer.
[06:08] ---
I do not doubt your abilities one bit.
[06:12] ---
However, not even you, after trying this hard,
can find a method to solve this problem.
[06:19] ---
Can that be because this system has a flaw
that cannot be overcome by principle?
[06:26] ---
Even if that's the case, it doesn't matter.
[06:29] ---
I destroyed Kuchikiri's future.
[06:32] ---
So that something like this never happens again,
I must complete this system.
[06:37] ---
Something can be born
from mistakes as well. See?
[06:42] ---
Ms. Kanae!
[06:43] ---
Ms. Kanae!
[06:46] ---
Hey!
[06:47] ---
Sakiko?
[06:51] ---
It's done!
[06:57] ---
Amazing.
[06:58] ---
I feel a strong assertion coming from the art.
[07:01] ---
Kuchikiri drew that?
[07:03] ---
I hear he goes by the name "0th" lately.
He seems to have become quite the celebrity now.
[07:08] ---
I didn't know that.
[07:10] ---
He doesn't regret the past,
nor does he have a grudge against you.
[07:15] ---
He's looking into his own future.
[07:18] ---
Ms. Kanae, you shouldn't be trapped
in the past, either.
[07:22] ---
That should be how you atone for your sin.
[07:29] ---
All right.
[07:33] ---
MARCH 23, 2004
[07:37] ---
Mrs. Suido.
[07:39] ---
Sakiko.
[07:41] ---
It's been a while.
[07:42] ---
Time passes by so quickly.
Congratulations on your graduation.
[07:46] ---
Thank you so much.
[07:48] ---
With your help, I made it into Kokugou University
and was able to become one of your juniors.
[07:53] ---
I will make sure to inherit all of your research.
[07:58] ---
I said this many times, Sakiko,
but that accident was merely a catalyst.
[08:03] ---
You don't have to feel responsible
for me quitting my research.
[08:07] ---
No way.
[08:08] ---
Without your research, I would not be alive.
[08:13] ---
I want to repay everyone who I owe a debt to.
[08:18] ---
I see.
[08:20] ---
Ideally, I wanted to do the research
together with you.
[08:25] ---
Why did you become a schoolteacher?
[08:28] ---
I mean, it was so sudden.
[08:30] ---
Did Mr. Gori influence you?
[08:33] ---
Well, I guess that's part of it.
[08:35] ---
Gori was always interested in education.
[08:40] ---
He says he's going to create
a comprehensive K-12 school,
[08:43] ---
and is currently making appeals
to various places.
[08:46] ---
But that's not all.
[08:49] ---
I thought about something
while looking at 0th's graffiti.
[08:52] ---
Sowing and reaping
are both very important jobs.
[08:57] ---
My current job is to sow.
[08:59] ---
I'll leave the reaping to you.
[09:05] ---
INFORMATION ENGINEERING
PROF. MAKOTO KASUGA
[09:06] ---
Good morning.
[09:07] ---
I will be working here starting today.
My name is Sakiko Tsuzura—
[09:11] ---
Huh?
[09:14] ---
Was I too early?
[09:20] ---
You're the new girl?
[09:22] ---
I'm sorry,
I must have entered the wrong room.
[09:25] ---
Wait, hold on!
You probably came to the right place.
[09:28] ---
You definitely did. I'm sure of it.
[09:30] ---
I have no interest in clubs
with strange activities.
[09:32] ---
This isn't part of my club activities.
It's just what I do for my part-time job.
[09:37] ---
The lab has really bright fluorescent lights
so I couldn't sleep.
[09:41] ---
I'm Wataru Chikushi.
[09:43] ---
Nice to meet you, Satchan.
[09:44] ---
Please call me Tsuzuragawa.
[09:45] ---
So fast to reply.
[09:47] ---
Well, why don't you sit there for now?
[09:49] ---
You want some coffee?
[09:51] ---
Yes, please.
[09:52] ---
Satchan, you want it black?
[09:54] ---
"Tsuzuragawa" would like some milk as well.
[10:00] ---
Concerned about this?
[10:01] ---
- Did you make it yourself?
- Yep!
[10:03] ---
I burned the midnight oil to make it.
[10:05] ---
Our local hero, Mr. 24.
[10:08] ---
He'll protect the peace of 24th Ward,
24 hours a day.
[10:13] ---
Your finishing touches are sloppy.
[10:15] ---
I worked really hard on this, you know.
[10:17] ---
Someone I know
would be able to make it more properly.
[10:21] ---
What? You know a sculptor or something?
[10:24] ---
But aren't place like that
ridiculously expensive, Satchan?
[10:27] ---
I'm Tsuzuragawa.
[10:28] ---
The person I know doesn't decide from price,
but by whether or not it's worth doing.
[10:33] ---
If he resonates with how you really feel,
I'm sure he'll make it, even for free.
[10:39] ---
Amazing.
[10:41] ---
You made all these, 0th?
[10:44] ---
My main art medium is graffiti, though.
[10:46] ---
All right, done.
[10:49] ---
What do you think of this design?
[10:54] ---
Looks good.
[10:55] ---
It feels like someone
who would fight evil 24 hours in a row.
[10:58] ---
Right?
[10:59] ---
Is the area around this horn
respect to Muscle Boy?
[11:03] ---
Oh, you noticed? I wanted to put in
a bit of Japanese hero designs.
[11:06] ---
I can't keep up when guys branch off like this.
[11:09] ---
Huh? What's this?
[11:11] ---
That's Carneades.
[11:13] ---
I set him up to be a villain that mercilessly
demands the hero to make a decision.
[11:17] ---
I see, that's pretty dramatic.
[11:21] ---
All right, I'll use that too.
[11:23] ---
Man, you've really helped me so much, 0th.
[11:27] ---
Can you also make 3D versions as well?
[11:29] ---
It's for the sake of a fellow Kasuga Lab alum.
[11:31] ---
In return, it'd help me a lot if you take care
of Sakiko while I'm away from Japan.
[11:37] ---
Going on a trip abroad?
[11:39] ---
I want to touch upon real graffiti in New York.
[11:43] ---
Fortunately, it looks like
I'll have financial support.
[11:46] ---
New Yorker.
[11:47] ---
Will you be all right by yourself?
[11:50] ---
I can read simple letters now.
[11:52] ---
- I can make do with daily life things.
- But...
[11:55] ---
This is something I need.
[11:57] ---
I stopped my research
because there was a revelation from god.
[12:01] ---
Just like how you're trying
to change the world with programs,
[12:04] ---
I'm going to change the world through art.
[12:09] ---
Change the world through art.
I've never thought of things like that.
[12:14] ---
But when I look at the pieces here,
I started to feel like you can do it.
[12:18] ---
What will you do, Mr. Chikushi?
[12:20] ---
Huh? Me?
[12:22] ---
I will... Let's see.
[12:25] ---
I might still be doing hero stuff
even after graduating from college.
[12:29] ---
What? Will you be able to graduate?
[12:36] ---
Golden Sunshine!
[12:37] ---
OCTOBER 3, 2012
[12:41] ---
It's been almost two years
since we started Takara Food Bank.
[12:44] ---
It's been on the news as a model case
for regional interactions and volunteering.
[12:49] ---
It's definitely becoming more prevalent.
[12:51] ---
It's all thanks to everyone
on the shopping street.
[12:53] ---
Mom!
[12:55] ---
I got some Golden Sunrise. Here.
[12:58] ---
Oh, thank you.
[13:00] ---
You too, Dad. It's delicious.
[13:03] ---
Yeah, thank you.
[13:06] ---
Delicious.
[13:08] ---
Right?
[13:09] ---
Hey, Asumi, let's go.
[13:12] ---
If you're dilly-dallying, we'll leave you behind.
[13:14] ---
Oh, wait.
[13:16] ---
Don't worry. We won't leave you behind.
[13:17] ---
I'm glad.
[13:18] ---
Huh? About what?
[13:20] ---
Well, if I was still a researcher,
I'm sure I'd still be trapped in a distant ideal,
[13:25] ---
unable to notice
all the people reaching out to me.
[13:29] ---
Gori, thank you for giving me
encouragement back then.
[13:34] ---
No, I have to thank you.
[13:36] ---
I created Suido Academy
because of your decision, Kanae.
[13:41] ---
But we still have so much to do.
[13:44] ---
Yes, you're right. Things we need to do...
Huh?
[13:49] ---
Kanae?
[13:50] ---
Dear, I just remembered
I had to do something.
[13:53] ---
Can you help with the cleanup without me?
[13:55] ---
Huh? Sure.
[13:59] ---
Hot. So hot.
[14:00] ---
Good job out there.
[14:02] ---
Is there anything else to carry?
[14:04] ---
Sorry to make you help us out.
[14:06] ---
It was Mrs. Kanae's request.
[14:09] ---
You don't have to blush so much.
[14:19] ---
Excuse me. You're here to see
the Food Bank, right? If you'd like...
[14:23] ---
Wallet.
[14:27] ---
Wallet.
[14:30] ---
Um, how about we chat for a bit?
[14:33] ---
Just shut up and give me your wallet!
[14:43] ---
Chikushi? Are you okay?
[14:50] ---
Kanae?
[14:52] ---
Oh, no.
[14:54] ---
Mr. Chikushi!
[14:55] ---
Ms. Kanae is collapsed. What happened—
[14:58] ---
Satchan, please, hurry and get an ambulance.
[15:01] ---
You were here with her. What were you doing?
[15:03] ---
The hospital is right there, so I'll take her.
[15:07] ---
I'm trusting you, Satchan.
[15:08] ---
- Mr. Chikushi, please go let Mr. Gori know.
- Yeah.
[15:19] ---
Sakiko.
[15:20] ---
It's all right. We'll be at a hospital soon.
[15:22] ---
If I don't make it...
[15:26] ---
Please take care of Koki and Asumi.
[15:31] ---
OPERATING ROOM
[15:36] ---
How is Ms. Kanae?
[15:37] ---
- Are you a family member?
- No.
[15:39] ---
- Kanae!
- Mr. Gori.
[15:41] ---
Are you the husband?
[15:43] ---
Please calm down and listen.
[15:45] ---
Unfortunately, your wife
passed away moments ago.
[15:49] ---
We did our best,
but she fell into shock due to blood loss.
[16:11] ---
Interaction overcoming circumstances.
[16:13] ---
A bridge to the future
built by people helping each other.
[16:18] ---
The world that Kanae sought...
[16:20] ---
The future I sought...
[16:23] ---
was not supposed to be this.
[16:26] ---
It definitely was not.
[16:30] ---
I see, what Kanae tried to achieve was...
[16:33] ---
If that system can be finished,
all crimes will be prevented beforehand,
[16:38] ---
and incidents like this
won't have to happen at all.
[16:40] ---
Tsuzuragawa, you took over
Kanae's research, didn't you?
[16:45] ---
I beg you. I don't care how much it costs.
[16:47] ---
I will take any blame that comes our way.
[16:49] ---
So please finish Kanae's system.
[16:53] ---
So that a tragedy like this
won't happen ever again.
[16:59] ---
That's what I've always intended on doing.
[17:02] ---
I have a request to make as well.
[17:05] ---
Ms. Kanae asked me
to take care of Koki and Asumi.
[17:10] ---
I would like to request permission
to periodically check how they're doing.
[17:15] ---
SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION GUARD
[17:16] ---
APRIL 1, 2013
[17:19] ---
Yo.
[17:21] ---
Oh, sorry to surprise you.
[17:25] ---
Why are you here?
[17:26] ---
Employment. A job. Satchan, you were the one
who said I shouldn't loiter around forever.
[17:32] ---
It's "Tsuzuragawa."
How long will you act like a college student?
[17:36] ---
By chance, are we coworkers?
[17:38] ---
We are not coworkers.
[17:40] ---
We're just borrowing space for now.
I work for the Information Center.
[17:45] ---
You're so cold.
[17:50] ---
What's this?
[17:51] ---
Please give that back.
[17:55] ---
If I recall, that was...
[17:59] ---
Oh hey, it's been a while.
[18:02] ---
Oh, right. I'm doing well.
[18:05] ---
I work at SARG now.
[18:08] ---
SARG? You quit being a hero?
[18:11] ---
I couldn't protect an important person who was
right in front of me. I'm nowhere near a hero.
[18:16] ---
If I seriously want to protect others,
[18:18] ---
I have to grow up.
[18:20] ---
I see.
[18:22] ---
When I get back, I need to be careful so I don't
get arrested for destruction of property.
[18:27] ---
I'll be waiting for you, cuffs at the ready.
[18:29] ---
By the way, is Sakiko doing well?
[18:31] ---
Yeah. It looks like she somehow got over it.
[18:35] ---
Right now, she's going to the ward's
Central Information Center from college.
[18:40] ---
What's up?
[18:42] ---
She seems to be planning something
with Mr. Gori.
[18:45] ---
The blueprints for Cornucopia
that was in the lab...
[18:52] ---
Hey, 0th?
[18:54] ---
GORI SUIDO SUPPORTERS GROUP FORMATION PARTY
[18:54] ---
All teachers here at Suido Academy
will be fully supporting Chairman Suido.
[19:01] ---
Chairman Suido, who is running for the next
mayoral election, will like to say a few...
[19:08] ---
Who are you? What do you want?
[19:11] ---
Are you going to waste Kanae's will?
[19:14] ---
Do you really think
that's for the better of the world?
[19:17] ---
That system has a major flaw—
[19:19] ---
You think I don't know that?
[19:22] ---
I watched Kanae
from a place closer than anyone else.
[19:25] ---
She agonized about abandoning her research
because it was a valuable system.
[19:30] ---
Are you going to step off the path of humanity?
[19:33] ---
I will always strive to do my best.
[19:35] ---
Any faults can be overcome
with advances in technology.
[19:38] ---
Tsuzuragawa is advancing the project
with the same intent.
[19:42] ---
I have never believed you to begin with.
[19:44] ---
You'll someday lie that this is for everyone's
happiness, and sell your soul to the devil.
[19:52] ---
SEPTEMBER 18, 2019
[19:53] ---
Is the KANAE System doing well?
[19:55] ---
It was a rush job, but the underground
Information Center will soon begin construction.
[20:00] ---
Any alternate methods for the biological brain?
[20:03] ---
We still have no prospects.
[20:05] ---
So it was no good after all.
[20:08] ---
Only a human brain can act
as the core of the KANAE System.
[20:14] ---
It is my responsibility
that we could not create an alternative brain.
[20:17] ---
If push comes to shove...
[20:19] ---
Don't think of anything foolish.
[20:21] ---
If I could do that,
I would have done so long ago.
[20:24] ---
But Kanae will not wish for that.
[20:28] ---
She shouldn't be wishing for that.
[20:31] ---
OFFICE ROOM
[20:33] ---
Please.
[20:34] ---
It's about the Takara Elementary School case.
[20:38] ---
I told you before. An abandoned school
not under management is a dangerous place.
[20:42] ---
Look at this.
[20:43] ---
We all drew it together.
[20:45] ---
This is...
[20:46] ---
Everyone is amazing.
[20:48] ---
They're coming up with all sorts of ideas
to preserve and reuse Takara Elementary School.
[20:53] ---
I want you to support the Elementary School
Preservation movement as the mayor.
[20:57] ---
However—
[20:57] ---
Please. I'm sure this is something we need
for the 24th Ward.
[21:04] ---
All right.
[21:05] ---
Mr. Shirakaba has asked me, too.
[21:08] ---
I will bring it up as an agenda.
[21:09] ---
But I can't be responsible
for getting everyone to agree with it.
[21:15] ---
Thank you, Dad.
[21:18] ---
Is it all right?
[21:20] ---
Weren't the redevelopment plans
already under way?
[21:23] ---
Back when 0th was starting up
and SARG was chasing him around,
[21:27] ---
there was a time when Kanae
strongly covered for him.
[21:30] ---
I was reminded of that.
[21:32] ---
She's like her mother,
and grew up to be a kind person.
[21:36] ---
Yes. Perhaps she's the hope
for the 24th Ward.

Asumi!

Due to prolonged impaired consciousness,
a large portion of her brain remains inactive.
[22:03] ---
Furthermore, with extensive physical injuries,
[22:05] ---
all biological activities
may cease as early as tomorrow.
[22:10] ---
Please brace yourself for the worst.
[22:11] ---
Is there any way you can save her?
[22:15] ---
Unfortunately,
not with our current medicine.
[22:24] ---
This is a revelation.
[22:26] ---
For the happiness of the people,
[22:29] ---
I will turn Asumi
into the 24th Ward's guardian angel.
[22:33] ---
Please forgive me, Kanae.
[22:39] ---
This is my belief.
[22:42] ---
We have to have
a better future, Mrs. Kanae.
[22:47] ---
No, Lady Kanae.
[22:49] ---
Please forgive my sinful self.

No... Mari...
[23:40] ---
But no matter which one you choose,
someone will not be saved.
[23:45] ---
I can't make the choice.
[23:47] ---
Help me.
[23:48] ---
RGB.
[23:50] ---
Help me, Shuta.
