    -Hey!
    -We get it already!
[00:05] ---
    -Let go!
    -We give up!
[00:07] ---
    Sorry for picking on his dog!
[00:09] ---
    We won't do it again!
[00:11] ---
    Damn it! What the hell? 
    He's just a kid!
[00:14] ---
    Let's get going already!
[00:18] ---
    Thank you, Akira!
[00:27] ---
    The evils of the world
    can't stand up to me!
[00:32] ---
    The Superhero of Justice!
[00:34] ---
    Just leave it to Akiraiger!
[00:59] ---
    35. REMEMBER MY CHILDHOOD DREAM
[01:03] ---
    Hey, Akira, this is really bad.
    All of Japan's like this, for real!
[01:03] ---
    SO MUCH FOR OSAKA 125 LIKES
[01:04] ---
    THIS IS SERIOUSLY BAD. HELP.
[01:08] ---
    I don't think there are
    any urban areas, or rather,
[01:11] ---
    anywhere in the country
    that's safe anymore.
[01:16] ---
    It seems that the Self-Defense Force
    managed to isolate them in Hokkaido!
[01:20] ---
    And a number of villages in the mountains
    were able to seal off access tunnels!
[01:24] ---
    That means my family might still be safe.
[01:27] ---
    They're in Gunma,
    "Kanto's best kept secret"!
[01:36] ---
    So, why did you decide to go blond?
[01:39] ---
    Seeing how you're doing
    what you've always wanted,
[01:41] ---
    I figured I needed to do the same.
[01:44] ---
    Kinda like my way of saying
    I'm exiting the grind.
[01:47] ---
    Besides, if I'm gonna become a comic,
[01:49] ---
    this should make an impact, right?
[01:57] ---
    35. REMEMBER MY CHILDHOOD DREAM
[02:01] ---
    Hey, Kencho...
[02:05] ---
    I'm...
[02:07] ---
    thinking of becoming a superhero.
[02:13] ---
    I said, I want to become a superh--
[02:16] ---
    I heard you the first time.
[02:19] ---
    By superhero do you mean like Spider-Man?
[02:23] ---
    That's right!
[02:24] ---
    This morning, I remembered
    something from my childhood.
[02:28] ---
    And that was...
[02:29] ---
    Go! That's it!
[02:32] ---
    To fight danger and save those in need
    in a kickass costume, without a reward.
[02:39] ---
    That was the kind of hero
    I dreamed of becoming!
[02:43] ---
    Good idea right?
    You only live once, right?
[02:46] ---
    A hero of justice who saves people
    from zombies!
[02:49] ---
    Would it be all right if I do it?
[02:52] ---
    Sure, if you want.
    But you can't fly or shoot webs.
[02:57] ---
    Good point!
[02:59] ---
    I've been doing research
    on ways to fight zombies!
[03:03] ---
    That's how I discovered this!
[03:08] ---
    Now I get it.
[03:09] ---
    35. REMEMBER MY CHILDHOOD DREAM
[03:10] ---
    So that's it.
[03:11] ---
    Come on, let's go, Kencho!
[03:13] ---
    Let's begin preparations!
[03:15] ---
    What? Right now?
[03:17] ---
    Hey, at least let me get something to eat!
[03:17] ---

[03:40] ---
    Metamorphose into a classic life
[03:42] ---
    Once upon a time
    Long, long ago
[03:45] ---
    Humankind merely
    ate, slept, danced, and laughed
[03:48] ---
    Endless suffering and social pressures
    pushing people to their limits
[03:51] ---
    Are portrayed as part of the norm

    Wake up again to a coerced routine

[04:14] ---
    Dancing, dancing
    Morning, morning

    BRED IN CAPTIVITY FOR THE
    FIRST TIME!
[04:55] ---
    I haven't been to one of these
    since I was a kid.
[04:57] ---
    Yeah!
[04:58] ---
    The aquarium, huh?
[05:05] ---
    Whoa.
[05:07] ---
    It's in pretty bad shape, isn't it?
[05:17] ---
    I'd be pissing myself right now
    if this was still day one of the outbreak.
[05:25] ---
    Hey, doesn't it feel strangely exciting
    walking in the backrooms of the aquarium?
[05:30] ---
    I know what you mean!
[05:31] ---
    That feeling you're doing something
    you shouldn't is kind of thrilling.
[05:35] ---
    Is it here?
[05:41] ---
    -This is...
    -Yeah!
[05:43] ---
    As long as I have this,
    then starting today,
[05:46] ---
    I'm a superhero!
[05:56] ---
    It's no good! We can't go any further!
[05:59] ---
    For now, let's wait until
    the zombies around us go away!
[06:02] ---
    No way!
[06:04] ---
    I don't want to die.
    I don't want to die.
[06:12] ---
    Um, are you...
[06:28] ---
    No!
[06:42] ---
    Someone, help...
[06:50] ---
    I don't want to die,
    I don't want to die.
[06:52] ---
    FIRST GREAT WHITE BRED IN CAPTIVITY 
    SHINAGAWA AQUAWORLD
[06:53] ---
    I don't want to die!
[06:57] ---
    If I can make it over there, I'll be safe!
[06:59] ---
    I'll definitely be safe!
[07:09] ---
    No. I don't want to die.
[07:12] ---
    I don't want to die just yet.
[07:22] ---
    Are you all right, Miss?
[07:25] ---
    Get going, while you still can.
[07:28] ---
    It's the end of the line, zombies!
[07:31] ---
    Akiraiger is here!
[07:36] ---
    How was that, Kencho?
[07:38] ---
    Huh? Well...
[07:40] ---
    I guess you could say,
    you kinda have the look down.
[07:43] ---
    -So, this is what you were talking about?
    -Yeah!
[07:45] ---
    Shark suits are diving suits designed
    to protect your body from shark bites.
[07:50] ---
    They're used when cleaning shark
    or crocodile tanks!
[07:54] ---
    It's made from a mesh of titanium
    and high strength steel fibers
[07:57] ---
    that act like chainmail.
[08:00] ---
    Even large sharks can't bite through it!
[08:02] ---
    I see.
[08:04] ---
    In other words, as long as I have this
    suit, I'm invulnerable to zombie bites!
[08:08] ---
    I've become an invincible superhero!
[08:14] ---
    Invincible, huh?
[08:17] ---
    More people in need of help!
[08:20] ---
    This way!
[08:21] ---
    It's safe inside the aquarium.
[08:25] ---
    It's her.
[08:26] ---
    Miss Risk Analyst!
[08:32] ---
    I didn't think I would
    run into her here. It's a miracle.
[08:35] ---
    This must be fate.
[08:40] ---
    Is he cosplaying?
[08:42] ---
    Akira!
[08:49] ---
    This is the best chance to show off!
[08:51] ---
    I'm going to show her how cool--
[08:54] ---
    That hurts!
[08:58] ---
    Ow ow ow!
[09:00] ---
    -Okay, right this way.
    -Why does it hurt so much!
[09:03] ---
    Ouch! No!
[09:05] ---
    Oh, I get it.
[09:06] ---
    It's puncture proof. It blocks teeth,
    but you'll still feel the bite.
[09:11] ---
    It hurts! Save me, Kencho!
[09:14] ---
    Not happening.
    There's only one suit, after all!
[09:18] ---
    Don't worry about us.
[09:19] ---
    Sorry, but you'll have
    to handle that on your own!
[09:22] ---
    Bye!
[09:23] ---
    No way!
[09:25] ---
    Kencho!
[09:31] ---
    Ow ow ow! Stop struggling!
[09:38] ---
    It's over.
[09:40] ---
    We should be all right for a while.
[09:44] ---
    That look...
[09:45] ---
    She was definitely turned off by that.
[09:50] ---
    Being a superhero is hard work.
[10:01] ---
    I'm safe! I thought it was all over!
[10:06] ---
    We're safe for now.
[10:08] ---
    Kencho.
[10:10] ---
    Hey, well done, hero.
[10:12] ---
    You're horrible.
[10:15] ---
    Aw, don't be like that.
[10:17] ---
    You ended up being a decent hero!
[10:24] ---
    Something going on with her?
[10:26] ---
    Well, I met her once before.
[10:31] ---
    Go talk to her.
[10:33] ---
    What?
[10:42] ---
    Wh-What a coincidence
    running into you again.
[10:51] ---
    Oh, umm!
[10:52] ---
    W-We met at the convenience store before!
[10:55] ---
    Oh yeah. Back then...
[10:57] ---
    Yeah.
[11:01] ---
    Oh!
[11:02] ---
    My name is Akira Tendo.
[11:05] ---
    I feel like this must be fate.
[11:07] ---
    -Maybe we should exchange contact--
    -Akira, was it?
[11:11] ---
    Not that it's my business or anything...
[11:13] ---
    But in what way do you benefit
    from saving people?
[11:17] ---
    B-Bene...
[11:19] ---
    That get-up... Yes...
[11:22] ---
    Psychologists call it identification.
[11:24] ---
    An inferiority complex or low self-esteem
[11:26] ---
    often causes people to adopt the look
    and mannerisms of their heroes.
[11:30] ---
    It's a psychological defense mechanism.
[11:34] ---
    In short...
[11:35] ---
    It's what makes men,
    who are typically unvalued
[11:38] ---
    by society and lack self-worth,
    wish they could become heroes.
[11:42] ---
    Harsh.
[11:43] ---
    Hold on, how could you say such a thing?
[11:46] ---
    Akira saved everyone here
    from those zombies.
[11:48] ---
    He "managed" to save "complete strangers"
    from zombies this time.
[11:54] ---
    I don't intend to deny the fact
    that he saved people.
[11:58] ---
    But...
[11:59] ---
    Did you consider the danger
    to those truly important to you
[12:05] ---
    when you leaped into action
    to mollify your low self-esteem?
[12:11] ---
    Additionally, hero isn't a title
    you can claim for yourself.
[12:15] ---
    -What one person considers justice...
    -Wh...
[12:17] ---
    Wh-What...
[12:19] ---
    -She's super argumentative
    -She's super argumentative
[12:21] ---
    -and difficult to please!
    -and difficult to please!
[12:23] ---
    -What's your problem?
    -But, she's right.
[12:24] ---
    -The outfit's got nothing to do with-
    -But, she's right.
[12:26] ---
    -We're just trying our best here!
    -Being a hero will put Kencho in danger.
[12:33] ---
    What exactly is a hero?
[12:36] ---
    What is a hero?
[12:37] ---
    Anyway...
[12:38] ---
    If you still can't analyze risk,
    you'll only lower my survivability.
[12:45] ---
    I'm afraid I must decline your request
    to exchange contact info yet again.
[12:52] ---
    What's that noise?
[12:54] ---
    I'll go check it out!
[12:56] ---
    -Kencho!
    -What?! Me too?
[13:00] ---
    I guess I have no choice!
[13:03] ---
    What I should be doing now is...
[13:09] ---
    What is this? The water's...
[13:10] ---
    Hey, Akira!
[13:12] ---
    Over there...
[13:26] ---
    -Huh?
    -Huh?
[13:28] ---
    A sh-shark?
[13:31] ---
    Wait, but it has legs.
[13:34] ---
    Oh, I see.
[13:37] ---
    In that case...
[13:38] ---
    What is it?
[13:43] ---
    What's that?
[13:44] ---
    What's that noise?
[13:49] ---
    Everyone, run away!
[13:51] ---
    It's a shark!
[13:54] ---
    No!
[13:58] ---
    What should I do?
[13:59] ---
    What should I do?
[14:00] ---
    What would a hero do at a time like this?
[14:05] ---
    At a time like this...
[14:09] ---
    What?
[14:13] ---
    For now, we just need
    to make a tactical retreat, right?
[14:16] ---
    What the hell is that?
[14:18] ---
    It's a Great White Shark.
    Lamniformes Lamnidae!
[14:21] ---
    That's not what I'm asking!
[14:22] ---
    Why is it walking on human legs?
[14:25] ---
    The divers it ate probably turned
    into zombies and are moving it.
[14:28] ---
    Hold on now!
    How does that make any sense?
[14:31] ---
    Huh? How am I supposed to know?
[14:35] ---
    What's that?
[14:36] ---
    Why aren't we running?
[14:38] ---
    Zombies?
    There are some inside as well?
[14:41] ---
    We can't go this way!
[14:43] ---
    I'm pretty sure there was a different
    emergency exit...
[14:50] ---
    You're joking, right?
[14:53] ---
    This way!
[14:54] ---
    Hurry!
[14:58] ---
    -Everyone, this way!
    -Hurry!
[15:01] ---
    I don't want to die!
    I don't want to die!
[15:03] ---
    I don't want to die!
[15:05] ---
    H-Hey! Calm down!
[15:08] ---
    I can't take it anymore!
[15:10] ---
    Hurry, hurry!
[15:20] ---
    We're safe somehow.
[15:24] ---
    Huh?
[15:25] ---
    Where's Miss Risk Analyst?
[15:27] ---
    It's not my fault, it's not my fault...
[15:31] ---
    It's not my...
[15:34] ---
    No way, is she still out there?
[15:37] ---
    Are you serious? Damn it!
[15:40] ---
    It's no good!
    It's warped and won't open!
[15:42] ---
    Akira! Help me out...
[15:46] ---
    Akira?
[15:51] ---
    Honestly...
[15:52] ---
    This is why I hate working in big groups.
[15:56] ---
    Panic spreads like wildfire. I should've
    thought this through more.
[16:08] ---
    Incoming!
[16:16] ---
    Why you... Stop struggling!
[16:23] ---
    A-Akira?
[16:25] ---
    Why?
[16:27] ---
    What are you doing here?
[16:28] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[16:30] ---
    I'm here to save you.
[16:32] ---
    Huh?
[16:34] ---
    There's really something wrong with you!
    Why would you go so far to do that?
[16:37] ---
    Enough with all the reasons!
[16:41] ---
    When you're hungry,
    you want to eat your fill.
[16:45] ---
    If you see a cute girl,
    you try to get to know her.
[16:50] ---
    If I see someone who needs help,
    I want to be a hero!
[16:55] ---
    Do I need a reason for everything?!
[17:01] ---
    Even so...
[17:02] ---
    If you die, it's all over.
[17:05] ---
    Why do you go so far to go straight
    for the things you want to do?
[17:18] ---
    What's your strategy?
[17:20] ---
    Oh. I don't have one in particular!
[17:22] ---
    I thought so.
[17:27] ---
    -It's coming!
    -Oh, okay!
[17:30] ---
    This is bad!
[17:31] ---
    I came here without thinking, but
    we're not getting any opportunities!
[17:34] ---
    What should we do? What should--
[17:35] ---
    Akira!
[17:37] ---
    I have a plan!
[17:40] ---
    This is such a ridiculous idea,
    that I can't believe it myself.
[17:46] ---
    Do you want to risk it?
[17:49] ---
    Sure!
[17:50] ---
    Hold on. What are they doing?
[17:54] ---
    I need to save them.
[17:56] ---
    I need to do something.
[18:02] ---
    Damn it.
[18:03] ---
    I...
[18:06] ---
    I knew it. It's not here. Akira...
[18:09] ---
    Okay!
[18:10] ---
    You want me to buy some time, right?
[18:12] ---
    Come at me!
[18:23] ---
    That was close.
[18:26] ---
    The Ampullae of Lorenzini?
[18:27] ---
    AMPULLAE OF LORENZINI
[18:28] ---
    That's right! Sharks have
    sensory organs in their heads
[18:30] ---
    capable of detecting electrical charges
    as small as millionth of a volt.
[18:34] ---
    They use it to capture smaller fish
    based on the electrical field
[18:37] ---
    that their muscles generate.
[18:40] ---
    A jolt of current to that sensitive organ
[18:42] ---
    from direct contact with a human's muscles
    should confuse them enough to take it out!
[18:46] ---
    So, if we focus an attack there...?
[18:49] ---
    Yes! But it's still a bit unreliable.
[18:51] ---
    I'd prefer to have something that can
    deliver a stronger electrical current.
[18:55] ---
    All right!
[19:06] ---
    I still need to buy more time.
[19:12] ---
    Damn it.
[19:13] ---
    My body can't...
[19:14] ---
    Hey!
[19:17] ---
    Look over here, sharky bastard!
[19:22] ---
    Does this ass look tasty or what?!
[19:25] ---
    Grab a bite, if you can!
[19:28] ---
    Kencho.
[19:30] ---
    H-H-Hey. Whoa!
[19:33] ---
    No! On second thought, don't eat me!
[19:39] ---
    What is a hero?
[19:44] ---
    What is...
[19:47] ---
    a hero?
[19:50] ---
    A hero is...
[19:53] ---
    A hero is...
[20:00] ---
    Akira!
[20:03] ---
    My target is the Ampullae of Lorenzini!
[20:06] ---
    Discharging a battery
    for maximum effect!
[20:10] ---
    Will it work on a zombified shark?
[20:13] ---
    I have no idea, but...
[20:16] ---
    We just have to test it out!
[20:20] ---
    Crackle Thunder...
[20:22] ---
    Punch!
[20:41] ---
    How was that? Miss! Kencho!
[20:45] ---
    You nailed it! You're a total superhero!
[20:50] ---
    Not that it's my business or anything...
[20:53] ---
    But you've got bad taste in names.
[21:00] ---
    Why are you leaving
    without saying anything?
[21:02] ---
    Today, you were a real hero.
[21:03] ---
    36. BECOME A SUPERHERO
[21:06] ---
    It's fine. Heroes don't need rewards.
[21:11] ---
    What about you?
[21:12] ---
    You okay not going with them?
[21:14] ---
    We were only sharing a bus to the harbor.
[21:19] ---
    Besides, I'm done with big groups.
[21:22] ---
    What? You made a great team with Akira.
[21:27] ---
    What will you do?
    Will you take this opportunity...
[21:29] ---
    Out of the question.
[21:30] ---
    I-I figured not!
[21:32] ---
    You idiot! Why are you pulling back?
[21:35] ---
    Listen, the real attempts
    come after you're rejected.

    100 THINGS I WANT TO DO
    BEFORE BECOMING A ZOMBIE
[21:38] ---
    It's just like doing sales!
[21:40] ---
    I was never in sales...
[21:42] ---
    That's not what I meant.
[21:44] ---
    Huh? What's the matter?
[21:46] ---
    Did you forget something?
[21:47] ---
    100 THINGS I WANT TO DO
    BEFORE BECOMING A ZOMBIE
[21:48] ---
    My top priority is to do things
    to avoid becoming a zombie.
[21:54] ---
    But you two just want to do things
    before becoming a zombie.
[21:59] ---
    Our methods are incompatible.
[22:03] ---
    One more thing.
[22:04] ---
    Despite all my warnings,
[22:06] ---
    you still risked those precious to you
    to save a stranger like myself.
[22:13] ---
    I don't have enough lives
    to work together with--
[22:16] ---
    Yeah, but...
[22:19] ---
    You're someone
    precious to me now, Miss.
[22:22] ---
    I'd save you even if
    I wasn't trying to be a hero.
[22:35] ---
    Hey, Miss?
[22:36] ---
    Being bored
[22:37] ---
    Wh-What's the matter?
[22:38] ---
    With nothing but efficient days
[22:41] ---
    Sure that's fine
[22:42] ---
    But it's kind of a waste, right?
[22:43] ---
    Where will you be going now?
[22:45] ---
    When I think today could be my last
[22:45] ---
    Let's see...
[22:46] ---
    Wherever I can find a place
    that's safe and sustainable.
[22:48] ---
    Steve would start to make a bitter smile;
    Let's start something
[22:51] ---
    Who knows if a safe place really exists.
[22:53] ---
    Life & Death
[22:54] ---
    How many times has it been already?
    And yet...
[22:54] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot.
[22:57] ---
    I can't stop; like a junkie
[22:57] ---
    Here, this is my QR code.
[23:01] ---
    One more time, c'mon, one more time
[23:02] ---
    I'm sure we'll never meet again.
[23:04] ---
    Let's go all the way
    to the end of the world, yeah
[23:08] ---
    There isn't much risk in sharing
    contact information with you.
[23:09] ---
    C'mon, I want to find happiness
[23:12] ---
    You can leave the key behind
[23:15] ---
    If I can live and laugh,
    that's good enough
[23:17] ---
    C'mon, even a place that has nothing
[23:18] ---
    Shizuka Mikazuki.
[23:20] ---
    Has to have something
[23:21] ---
    I hope I can see her again!
[23:22] ---
    How about it? All right!
[23:23] ---
    So what will we do now?
[23:24] ---
    Let's get excited about today!
[23:26] ---
    C'mon, here in this hell, the earth
[23:26] ---
    Let's see...
[23:28] ---
    Before I realized it, it's been
    seven years since I moved here.
[23:28] ---
    I want to keep laughing with you
[23:30] ---
    I met Kencho in college,
[23:31] ---
    Living on a whim
[23:32] ---
    and tasted the depths of despair
    working at an exploitative company.
[23:34] ---
    C'mon, everything is coming undone
[23:35] ---
    I came here, awed by the glitz
    and glamor of the big city, but...
[23:36] ---
    So c'mon, let's start anew
[23:39] ---
    All right! Let's enjoy today
[23:40] ---
    Yeah!
    I think I've had my fill of Tokyo.
[23:42] ---
    We can take detours
[23:43] ---
    I want my parents
    to see that I'm doing okay.
[23:45] ---
    If you feel like singing, that's fine
[23:47] ---
    Well then, let's go!
[23:47] ---
    Until the day everything ends
[23:49] ---
    Yeah! To Kanto's best-kept secret!
    Gunma!
[24:01] ---
    Next time: RV of the Dead.
