[00:02] Delinquent A
    Can you believe this picture?
[00:05] Delinquent C
    Yo, holy shit! Are you for real?!
[00:07] Delinquent B
    Shit, that's insane!
[00:08] Delinquent C
    That's hilarious!
[00:09] Delinquent A
    Right?
[00:11] Takemichi
    God, they're loud.
[00:15] Hinata
    Hey!
[00:19] Takemichi
    H-Hina?
[00:21] Hinata
    You're taking up way too much space!
[00:23] Hinata
    It's fine when there aren't
    that many people on,
[00:25] Hinata
    but that old lady is having to stand.
[00:27] Hinata
    Why not make some room for her?
[00:30] Delinquent A
    Yeah...
[00:31] Delinquent B
    Sure.
[00:31] Delinquent C
    Hey, scooch over.
[00:34] Hinata
    Thanks!
[00:35] Delilnquent A
    S-Sure.
[00:36] Delinquent B
    Yeah.
[00:36] Delinquent C
    You're cute...
[00:37] Hinata
    Ma'am, there's a seat open.
[00:40] Grandma
    Why, thank you so much, young lady.
[00:43] Takemichi
    Hina's amazing.
[02:18] Hinata
    Thanks for coming shopping with me.
[02:21] Takemichi
    Sure, no problem.
[02:23] Hinata
    How'd your finals go?
[02:24] Takemichi
    Wow, I haven't thought about finals in forever!
[02:28] Hinata
    Forever? We just took them.
[02:30] Takemichi
    Oh, yeah, we did!
[02:33] Takemichi
    Shit. I was thinking out loud.
[02:35] Hinata
    Make sure you study.
    You have a dream, don't you?
[02:40] Takemichi
    A dream?
[02:41] Takemichi
    Did I actually have dreams and aspirations?
[02:46] Hinata
    Well, that settles it.
[02:50] Hinata
    I'm going to help you study!
[02:58] Hinata
    What's wrong?
[02:59] Takemichi
    I've just never been in a girl's room before!
[03:03] Hinata
    Would you stop gawking?
[03:05] Takemichi
    Sowwy.
[03:07] Hinata
    You could be a little less obvious.
[03:09] Hinata's mom
    I'm so sorry. This was so sudden,
    I couldn't prepare anything.
[03:13] Hinata's mom
    It's a shame, because this is the
    first time Hina's brought a boy home.
[03:17] Hinata
    Mom!
[03:18] Takemichi
    Oh, don't worry about me.
[03:20] Hinata's mom
    He's a cutie. How long
    have you two been close?
[03:22] Hinata's mom
    Are you in the same class?
[03:23] Hinata
    That's enough, Mom! Get out!
[03:25] Hinata's mom
    Aw...
[03:27] Hinata's mom
    Is he your boyfriend?
[03:28] Hinata
    Mom!
[03:30] Takemichi
    Yeah, I don't get this at all.
[03:33] Hinata
    Oh, yeah. Thanks for
    looking after my brother.
[03:36] Takemichi
    Huh?
[03:37] Hinata
    He said you saved him from some delinquents.
[03:40] Takemichi
    Ah...
[03:41] Hinata
    My dad's so busy that he
    rarely has time to come home.
[03:45] Hinata
    Naoto doesn't really like our dad,
[03:48] Hinata
    but he suddenly started saying
    he wants to be like him.
[03:54] Hinata
    Our dad's a police officer.
[03:57] Takemichi
    So that's why Naoto became a police officer!
[04:00] Hinata
    Huh?
[04:01] Hinata
    I mean, he's not yet. He's too young.
[04:03] Hinata
    R-R-R-R-Right! What am I even saying?
[04:08] Takemichi
    But...
[04:10] Takemichi
    Honestly, he might've saved me.
[04:13] Takemichi
    I think he'll make a great police officer.
[04:17] Takemichi
    Though he might turn out a bit loopy.
[04:21] Hinata
    You've changed, Takemichi-kun.
[04:23] Takemichi
    Y-You think so? Like how?
[04:26] Hinata
    Hm... You seem nicer than before.
     And maybe more mature.
[04:33] Hinata
    I feel like I'm talking
    to someone much older!
[04:36] Takemichi
    No way!
[04:37] Takemichi
    She's sharp! I'm twelve years older!
[04:39] Hinata
    Or maybe that's just a
    side of you I never knew.
[04:44] Takemichi
    Huh?
[04:46] Hinata
    I'd love to know more about you.
[04:55] Hinata
    Oh, fireworks!
[04:57] Hinata
    That's right! Today's the fireworks show!
[05:04] Hinata
    Hey! Let's go up to the roof and watch!
[05:07] ---
    Oh, look!
[05:08] ---
    Wow!
[05:09] ---
    Awesome!
[05:09] Hinata
    Wow! It's so pretty!
[05:13] Hinata
    Hurry up, Takemichi-kun!
[05:18] Takemichi
    Crap... This is really fun.
[05:22] Takemichi
    This never happened in my old life.
[05:27] Hinata
    Wow! A heart!
[05:29] Hinata
    Hey, did you see that one?
[05:31] Takemichi
    I want to stay here forever.
[05:34] Takemichi
    I don't want to go back to the future.
[05:36] Takemichi
    Because in the future, Hina...
[05:40] Takemichi
    is gone.
[05:44] Takemichi
    It wouldn't hurt to hold her hand, right?
[05:53] Takemichi
    It's warm.
[05:59] Takemichi
    Hina...
[06:03] Takemichi
    Hm?
[06:05] Naoto
    H-Hi...
[06:07] Takemichi
    Naoto?
[06:10] (Flashback) Naoto
    The handshake is the trigger.
[06:13] Takemichi
    N-Naoto?!
[06:16] Hinata
    Oh, you were up here too, Naoto?
[06:18] ---
    Yeah.
[06:19] Takemichi
    You've gotta be kidding me!
[06:26] Naoto
    Takemichi-kun!
[06:28] Takemichi
    Damn it, I came back!
[06:30] Naoto
    Huh? Does that mean you were
    able to go back to the past?
[06:34] Naoto
    So shaking hands really is the trigger.
[06:36] Takemichi
    What the hell were you doing there, man?!
[06:40] Naoto
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[06:43] Naoto
    Anyway, that means my
    hypothesis wasn't wrong!
[06:46] Takemichi
    Yeah, good for you, I guess.
[06:48] Naoto
    And now you're back.
[06:51] Naoto
    I now understand everything.
    So how'd things go?
[06:55] Naoto
    You came back because
    something changed, right?
[06:59] Takemichi
    Well...
[07:01] Naoto
    You shook my hand by mistake?!
[07:04] Naoto
    You need to take this seriously!
[07:07] Naoto
    There's something we know now because
    of your second trip into the past.
[07:10] Takemichi
    Oh?

[07:18] Naoto
    For example, today,
[07:19] Naoto
    if you were to go back into the past,
[07:21] Naoto
    you'd go back to today twelve years ago,
[07:23] Naoto
    and if you come back here
    after spending a week there,
SIGN    Present Time Axis

[07:27] Naoto
    a week would've also passed here.

[07:30] Naoto
    And while you were back in the past,
    your body was in suspended animation.
SIGN    Present Time Axis
SIGN    Today
[07:36] Takemichi
    Wait, so I was dead?
[07:39] Naoto
    It means that only your empty
    shell remained here in the present.
[07:42] Takemichi
    Ah, so that's how I was
    in suspended animation.
[07:45] Naoto
    It's very dangerous, so whenever
    you're going to time travel again,
[07:49] Naoto
    we'll make sure you're in my room.
[07:50] Naoto
    So how did the mission to keep Sano
    and Kisaki from ever meeting go?
[07:55] Takemichi
    Well... I met Mikey-kun.
[07:58] Naoto
    Mikey? Oh, you mean Sano.
[08:01] Takemichi
    But listen to this, Naoto! Mikey is a
    delinquent, but he's a really good guy!
[08:05] Naoto
    What? Why didn't you kill him?
[08:08] Takemichi
    Wha? Kill?
[08:09] Naoto
    The guy who killed my
    sister is a good person?
[08:12] Naoto
    Did he put one over on you in the past?!
[08:14] Takemichi
    No!
[08:14] Naoto
    Listen!
[08:16] Naoto
    That "Mikey" is now so involved
    in various crimes
[08:19] ---
    that the police can't even handle him!
[08:21] Naoto
    If I could...
[08:23] Naoto
    I'd kill him with my own two hands.
[08:34] Takemichi
    Naoto...
[08:36] Naoto
    Let's go talk to Mikey-kun.
[08:38] Naoto
    It's too dangerous!
[08:39] Takemichi
    I want to see him and talk to him in person.
[08:42] Naoto
    There's no point in talking to him!
[08:45] Takemichi
    Mikey-kun's someone we can trust.
[08:48] Takemichi
    I want to hear from Mikey-kun
    himself about why Toman changed.
[08:53] Takemichi
    I want to know before I go
    back into the past again.
[08:59] Takemichi
    Help me find Mikey-kun.
[09:02] Takemichi
    Please, Naoto.
[09:09] Naoto
    I don't know what happened in the past,
[09:11] Naoto
    but you've changed, Takemichi-kun.
[09:13] Takemichi
    Huh? You think so?
[09:15] Takemichi
    Like how?
[09:17] Naoto
    Your weak side seems to be gone now.
[09:20] Naoto
    Well, at least a little of it.
[09:22] Takemichi
    D-Does that mean I'm cooler now?
[09:24] Naoto
    Right, let's try to figure out
    how to meet with Mikey.
[09:27] Takemichi
    Hey, hello? Or do you mean
    I'm super awesome now?
[09:30] Takemichi
    Hey, come on. Don't stop there.
[09:31] Naoto
    You get carried away far too easily.
[09:33] Naoto
    I need you to organize these documents.
[09:37] Takemichi
    The Tokyo Manji Gang is crazy.
[09:41] Naoto
    Mikey is extremely careful.
[09:43] Naoto
    Even the police can't track him down.
[09:46] naoto
    His phone is also probably a burner
    that he got under a fake name.
[09:51] Naoto
    Wait, who is this?
[09:56] Takemichi
    "Sendo Atsushi, part of Toman's upper echelon"?
[09:59] Takemichi
    That's Akkun!
[10:03] Naoto
    Akkun? You mean your friend?
[10:06] Takemichi
    Yeah.
[10:07] Naoto
    Something's not right here.
[10:10] Naoto
    When he was sixteen, he was arrested after
    stabbing Kiyomizu Takamasa from Toman.
[10:15] Naoto
    After his release, he was nothing
    more than some no-name punk.
[10:20] (Flashback) Akkun
    I was thinking about stabbing Kiyomasa-kun.
[10:23] Takemichi
    Yeah, he said he was planning to.
[10:25] Takemichi
    But he didn't, because...
[10:27] Takemichi and Naoto
    ...the past has changed?!
[10:29] Takemichi
    Akkun never stabbed Kiyomasa-kun,
    so he was never arrested.
[10:34] Naoto
    You became friends with Mikey,
    which could mean that Sendo also...
[10:38] Takemichi
    Akkun's part of Toman's upper echelon...
[10:43] Naoto
    I've got it. Are you able
    to get a hold of Sendo?
[10:46] Takemichi
    Huh? Yeah... as long as
    his number hasn't changed.
[10:49] Naoto
    Since Sendo Atsushi's in
    the upper echelon now,
[10:52] Naoto
    you'll be able to get through to Mikey!
[10:58] Takemichi
    Just be warned that my
    place is a disaster area.
[11:00] Naoto
    I figured as much.
[11:03] Naoto
    Oh, God! It's so dirty!
[11:05] Takemichi
    I warned you, didn't I?!
[11:07] Naoto
    No one should live like this!
[11:09] Takemichi
    Hang on one sec.
[11:13] Takemichi
    Let me find my old notebook.
[11:16] Takemichi
    Ow...
[11:18] Naoto
    I'm going to break out in hives...
     This dust is just...
[11:20] Naoto
    I'm going to buy some masks!
[11:22] Takemichi
    Yeah, and be quick about it!
[11:29] Sign
    Top Secret
[11:30] Takemichi
    Found it!
[11:31] Takemichi
    Here it is! Whoa! This takes me back!
[11:35] Takemichi
    Talk about a trip down memory lane!
[11:38] Takemichi
    Whoa, what's this?! Oh, hey!
[11:41] Naoto
    Do you mind picking up the pace a little?
[11:44] Takemichi
    Oh, right... Akkun.
[11:47] Takemichi
    Got it.
SIGN    Akkun
[11:49] Takemichi
    Found it!
[11:51] Takemichi
    Hopefully his number hasn't changed.
[12:00] Takemichi
    Akkun...
[12:03] (Flashback) Akkun
    See you tomorrow.
[12:04] (Flashback) Takemichi
    See ya!
[12:08] (Flashback) Takemichi
    God, my whole body hurts.
[12:12] (Flashback) Takemichi
    Hey, Akkun.
[12:15] (Flashback) Takemichi
    If we all graduated and went our separate ways,
[12:20] (Flashback) Takemichi
    and totally stopped seeing each other...
[12:22] (Flashback) Takemichi
    I wonder what we'd all talk
    about after we became adults.
[12:26] (Flashback) Akkun
    You dumbass. Nothing would change.
[12:29] (Flashback) Akkun
    We're friends for life.
[12:40] Naoto
    This is where Sendo is?
[12:42] Takemichi
    Yeah. Apparently he's
    running this hostess bar.
[12:46] Naoto
    Are you sure it's okay for
    us to just show up here?
[12:49] Naoto
    Sendo's one of the higher-ups at Toman now.
[12:52] Takemichi
    And none of that matters
    because Akkun is just Akkun.
[12:57] Takemichi
    I mean, he sounded a little
    older over the phone,
[13:00] Takemichi
    but otherwise, he hadn't changed.
[13:02] Naoto
    I'm concerned that you just came out
    and told him you wanted to see Mikey.
[13:07] Takemichi
    Why?
[13:08] Naoto
    You're being too frank. He's someone
    the police can't get close to.
[13:12] Naoto
    We might've come here just to get killed.
[13:15] Takemichi
    Wow, you're dumb, Naoto!
[13:17] Takemichi
    It takes more than that
    to change a friendship!
[13:20] Takemichi
    Come on and just follow me!
[13:27] Suit
    Welcome! Who will it be?
[13:30] Takemichi
    Huh? U-Um...
[13:32] Naoto
    Can you handle this?
[13:34] Takemichi
    I-I've got an appointment with Sendo-san.
[13:37] Suit
    What? You? With our boss?
[13:40] Suit
    Hey, some twerp is here.
[13:44] Suit
    Does the boss have any appointments?
[13:47] Suit
    Goodness! You should've just
    told me earlier, Hanagaki-san!
[13:50] Suit
    I would've let you right in if you'd just
    told me you were the boss's friend!
[13:53] Suit
    Two VIP coming through!
[13:56] Takemichi
    He's totally mocking me, isn't he?!
[13:58] Naoto
    Nah, of course not.
[14:04] Naoto
    Your hand is shaking, Takemichi-kun.
[14:07] Takemichi
    I ain't scared!
[14:09] Takemichi
    It's okay. No matter how
    different he looks...
[14:13] Takemichi
    No matter how important he is now...
[14:16] Takemichi
    Akkun will always be Akkun!
[14:19] Akkun
    Takemichi...
[14:22] Akkun
    Behind you, genius.
[14:28] Akkun
    You haven't changed a bit, Takemichi.
SIGN    Upper Echelon
    Sendo Atsushi
[14:32] Takemichi
    Akkun?
[14:35] Akkun
    You didn't recognize me
    without my pompadour?
[14:37] Takemichi
    Uh, yeah...
[14:39] Akkun
    I was gonna say something earlier,
     but it's been so long.
[14:46] Takemichi
    It's Akkun. He looks totally different,
[14:49] Takemichi
    but it's definitely Akkun!
[14:51] Akkun
    So you wanna see Mikey-san, right?
[14:54] Akkun
    I've been waiting all this time
    for you to show up, Takemichi.
[15:00] Takemichi
    What do you mean?
[15:04] Akkun
    Let's go talk outside.
[15:08] Akkun
    Just the two of us. You good with that?
[15:13] Naoto
    I'll wait here.
[15:16] Naoto
    Be careful.
[15:17] Takemichi
    It's all good.
[15:19] Takemichi
    There's nothing to worry about.
[15:29] Akkun
    How've you been, Takemichi?!
[15:32] Takemichi
    Ow, ow, ow! That hurts, Akkun!
[15:35] Akkun
    I'm just so happy to see you after so long!
[15:38] Akkun
    It's been years!
[15:41] Akkun
    Then at a pivotal moment, Yamagishi...
[15:43] Takemichi
    The time when he farted
    and ruined everything?
[15:45] Akkun
    Yeah! And when I looked so awesome, too.
[15:49] Takemichi
    Akkun, you were so lame.
[15:53] Akkun
    It's really been since middle school, huh?
[15:55] Takemichi
    Yeah.
[15:56] Takemichi
    I guess for you, it's been about ten years.
[16:02] Takemichi
    But wow, Akkun.
[16:04] Takemichi
    You own this huge hostess bar,
[16:06] Takemichi
    and you're in Toman's upper echelon?
[16:09] Akkun
    Yeah.
[16:10] Takemichi
    You've got an expensive car, expensive clothes,
[16:13] Takemichi
    and you're sleeping with some fine ladies.
[16:14] Takemichi
    You're basically on a
    different planet than me.
[16:17] Akkun
    You can't buy everything with money.
[16:20] Takemichi
    Man, I hope I can say
    something like that someday.
[16:24] Akkun
    So the guy you were with is a cop, right?
[16:27] Takemichi
    Huh?
[16:28] Takemichi
    Uh, um...
[16:29] Akkun
    You don't have to hide it.
    It's completely obvious.
[16:33] Akkun
    He's Tachibana Hinata's
    younger brother, isn't he?
[16:37] Akkun
    I had no idea she had a brother.
[16:40] Takemichi
    How do you know that?
[16:44] Akkun
    That's just the kind of organization
    the Tokyo Manji Gang is.
[16:51] Akkun
    Hey, do you remember the summer
    of our second year in middle school?
[16:54] Akkun
    The day you defied Kiyomasa-kun.
[16:57] Akkun
    After everyone went home, you asked me this...
[17:01] Akkun
    What would we talk about after
    we all went our separate ways,
[17:06] Akkun
    and then met up again as adults?
[17:09] Takemichi
    Yeah, I remember that!
[17:13] Akkun
    How about we talk about this?
[17:16] Akkun
    The person who pushed you onto the tracks...
[17:20] Akkun
    was me.
[17:27] Takemichi
    What?
[17:29] Akkun
    It should've killed you.
[17:32] Akkun
    But someone saved you.
[17:35] Akkun
    It was Tachibana Naoto!
[17:37] Akkun
    When it happened, it looked like he knew
    you were gonna fall onto the tracks.
[17:43] Akkun
    This probably sounds insane...
[17:46] Akkun
    But you can go back into the past, can't you?
[17:50] Akkun
    Didn't you ask Tachibana Naoto
    from the past to help you?
[17:54] Akkun
    That's it, right? Otherwise it
     just doesn't make sense!
[17:57] Akkun
    There's no way anyone could've saved you
    without knowing that was going to happen!
[18:01] Akkun
    Hey, that's insane, right?! Isn't it?!
[18:03] Takemichi
    Stop!
[18:04] Takemichi
    Who's the crazy one here?!
[18:06] Takemichi
    The hell are you talking about, Akkun?!
[18:08] Takemichi
    This isn't like you, man!
[18:11] Takemichi
    You were always calm and collected.
[18:15] Takemichi
    You were always able to sacrifice
    yourself for your friends.
[18:19] Takemichi
    You were kind... reliable...
[18:23] Takemichi
    So... So...
[18:26] Takemichi
    It has to be a lie!
[18:29] Takemichi
    There's no way you would kill me!
[18:32] Takemichi
    You're my friend!
[18:42] Akkun
    Takemichi...
[18:46] Akkun
    I wonder how things ended up like this.
[18:51] Akkun
    I'm one of Kisaki's soldiers now.
[18:54] Takemichi
    Kisaki? You mean Kisaki Tetta?
[18:56] Akkun
    Everyone in Toman has to obey Kisaki.
[19:00] Akkun
    I haven't even seen Mikey-kun in years.
[19:05] Takemichi
    Akkun... It's not too late!
[19:08] Takemichi
    Just leave Toman!
[19:12] Akkun
    I can't.
[19:14] Akkun
    I'm scared. I'm terrified of Kisaki.
[19:20] Takemichi
    Akkun...
[19:26] Akkun
    Takemichi...
[19:29] Akkun
    Mikey changed after Draken died.
[19:32] Takemichi
    What?
[19:34] Takemichi
    Draken died?!
[19:36] Akkun
    He wasn't supposed to die.
[19:39] Akkun
    Draken shouldn't have died, but he bit it,
[19:42] Akkun
    and now I'm thriving off of dirty money.
[19:47] Akkun
    I always looked up to you. The way
    you'd be crying, but hold your ground.
[19:52] Takemichi
    Akkun?
[19:55] Akkun
    Is the one you want to go back
    into the past and save... him?
[20:00] Takemichi
    It's dangerous up there. Get down.
[20:03] Akkun
    That's some real love right there.
[20:07] Akkun
    I'm rooting for you, Takemichi.
[20:12] Akkun
    Please save everyone...
[20:15] Takemichi
    Akkun!
[20:17] Akkun
    Our crybaby hero.
[20:18] Takemichi
    Don't do it, Akkun!
[20:20] Takemichi
    Akkun!
[21:18] Naoto
    I'm sorry, but could you give him some time?
[21:23] Takemichi
    It's fine. They want to
    talk to me, don't they?
[21:32] Naoto
    Please don't push yourself.
[21:34] Naoto
    You should get some rest.
[21:37] Takemichi
    Naoto...
[21:39] Takemichi
    I need you to find out about
    the day Ryuguji Ken died.
[21:42] Naoto
    What?
[21:45] Takemichi
    The one who turned Toman
    evil is Kisaki Tetta.
[21:50] Takemichi
    Naoto, I...
[21:53] Takemichi
    Draken, Akkun...
[21:59] Takemichi
    and Hina!
[22:04] Takemichi
    I want to save all of them!
