01x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

With you lot gone,

I'll finally have peace!

Live, you b*stards.

Excuse me.

What is today's date?

It's May 1st, 2026.

MAY 1ST, 2026

20...

26?

2026?

Not 23?

2026...

That's when...

It's the city.

We're back!

We actually

made it back home.

-Thank goodness.
-You're right! We're back in our world!

We did it!

I'm starving.

Yes!

There are buildings!

Found it.

First, we'll have you take showers.

Afterwards, you will receive
a medical health check

including testing for
infectious diseases and radiation.

Immediate treatment will be given
to any who needs it.

Those who clear their health checks

will be asked to debrief.

This way, please.

One at a time.

-Mr. Shugo Akashi.
-Here.

-Mr. Yuto Shirahama.
-Here.

-Mr. Naoya Kayashima.
-Here.

-Mr. Hawlan Son.
-Here.

Mr. Naoya Kayashima.

What's your date of birth?

October 3rd, 1992.

Libra, blood type AB, age 30.

That would make you 33.

Ah... That doesn't seem fair.

The earthquake warning went off,

and a plastic bottle cap
disappeared before my eyes.

After that, the train shook a few times.

The next thing I know, we're in a forest.

Look at this can.

The production date is 2026.

This a plant sample and meteorite
I collected in the future.

Our phones don't seem to work,
even after recharging them.

This describes the coming disaster.

The date is

December 9th, 2026.

This winter.

Please believe us.

You don't believe us, do you?

A bus transporting the victims' family
members is pulling up to the hospital.

The mysterious train car that suddenly
appeared on the tracks,

was one of the two train cars that
mysteriously vanished three years ago.

Fifty-three of the missing
133 people were on board,

and they will be reuniting with their
families after three years apart.

Where have they been all this time?

Koharu!

Koharu!

Dad!

I'm so happy!

Mom.

Yura!

Mom.

Remember me?

What took you so long?

We came all the way from Osaka!

-Miko!
-You haven't changed. Still so handsome.

Be quiet already!

The house was so quiet without you.

You know how worried we were?

Okay, okay.

Be quiet!

Naoya.

Naoya.

Naoya.

-Naoya.
-Hold on!

I wanted to see you!

I wanted to apologize.

Sorry.

Sorry I couldn't pick you up.

I'm sorry.

Welcome home, Naoya.

I'm home.

Welcome home.

I've been waiting all this time.

I'm glad you're alive.

Fireman Shirahama.

Ms. Sae Hatano.

Thank you for everything
you did in the future.

We made it back to the past thanks to you.

I'm so grateful.

Well.

Goodbye.

Take care.

We'll see each other again, Mr. Kayashima.

Call me if you need anything.

I'll rush to you.

Then

we finally made it back.

From the future.

Well...

I guess it'll take some time
to understand.

Yeah.

Here is your beef bowl.

That looks delicious.

-Here is your large bowl.
-Thank you.

-Looks good!
-And yours.

Ah! It looks delicious!

Let's eat.

Oh, crap.

Oh, crap.

It's so good.

So I won't give up.

I will save everyone.

Save them?

Get real.

You can do it!

Don't give up!

I think I learned
what kind of person you are now.

You're kind.

Don't be so hard.

You did all you could,

that's amazing.

Mr. Kayashima.

You're a good hairstylist.

I won't believe it.

I don't think we'll get back.

We've been together this whole time.

We're not strangers,

so don't say you're good alone!

Come with us.

Trust me.

It's so good.

I'm back!

Let me lock up.

I can't believe it.

My beloved home.

My floor. My hallway.

-Nice to meet you.
-Huh?

You must be Naoya?

What?

We live together.

Yes, I'm Naoya. Who're you?

I'm Hazuki Igarashi.

I'm dating Tatsuya.

She's training to be a hairstylist too.

It's good to be back in this space.

Okay.

Ow.

Um... Excuse me.

Is Professor Hasumi in?

I'm sorry, he stepped out.

When will he be back?

Ah, I'm not sure.

He comes and goes.

It's no good.

I tried reaching out
to my influential contacts,

but nobody believes me.

There's nobody more trustworthy than you.

Here you go.

I have a friend in the government.

I can reach out to her.

-Could you?
-Sure.

ADACHI POLICE

He's back.

He just won't give up.

Yeah.

Oh! Detectives!

Excuse me.

I forgot to hand you this.

Take a look.

Magnetism broke the compass.

I see.

It should be proof.

Thank you for coming,

but please stop.

Excuse us.

Wait!

None of us believe your story.

I'll come again!

The passengers' testimonies all match.

The day the train disappeared,

communication signals went down
in several locations.

Some passengers experienced decreased
reaction time and increased heart-rate.

Some even claim their
sense of taste was affected.

The only conclusion is
a strong gravitational force.

So this Mr. Kakogawa,

stabbed this man,

and the man we were after

was k*lled by this man.

And it all took place in the future.

They think we'd believe that?

How do we get to the truth?

SURVIVORS CAR FIVE / CAR SIX
MISSING

Tea's ready, Mr. Shirahama.

Thank you.

Hello, it's your boy Yone-chan.

I'm back.

LONG TIME NO SEE!

It's King P!

He remembers me!

Yone-chan, don't forget our meeting.

That's right. Sorry.

I talked to the police,

but they're ignoring me.

I can't believe we haven't reached anyone.

We shouldn't talk to the media?

No, not until we have the evidence.

Yeah.

Koharu, how's your baby?

Doing well, thanks to you.

We're getting married.

They weren't too thrilled when I said
I was going to be a dad.

After how glad they were at first,

they just want things to be normal.

Normal doesn't last.

Huh? It's my sister.

"Daichi, this guy's so hot."

Mr. Kayashima?

Here, take a look.

"One of the passengers from
the missing train was a hot hairstylist."

HIS BROTHER WAS A CRIMINAL?

HIS BROTHER WAS A CRIMINAL?

Even his younger brother?

How awful.

I WAS LOOKING INTO NAOYA KAYASHIMA,
AND HIS BROTHER WAS ARRESTED.

LIKE BROTHER LIKE BROTHER!

Stop reading that crap.

Naoya.

Sorry.

I'm the one who's sorry.

I dragged you into this.

I was prepared for that.

That's mine to carry.

But

I'm ruining your reputation.

Reputation?

That crap doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'm moving out.

No way.

We'll move out.

Just take it easy for now.

I can support...

Stop it.

I don't need you to look after me.

I'll be fine.

Yay!

-I'm not Naoya's girlfriend.
-I'm sorry, I couldn't contact him...

I was worried.

What?

Like I said,

I'm not dating Naoya.

I'm just the owner.

I see...

But this is perfect,

I had some questions.

Yes?

Woah. You're here?

Naoya.

Here.

It's Hatano.

Please call me.

She was just here,
you didn't run into her?

Naoya is having trouble
using his right hand.

Wha...

He's not able to get back to work.

What happened to him over there?

THAT PASSENGER IS SO HOT LOL

SO HOT! I WANT TO MEET HIM.

-HE'S SO HOT.
-I'M HIS FAN NOW!

APPARENTLY THE TRAIN DISAPPEARED
INTO THE FUTURE.

OLDER BROTHER: HOT SCAMMER.
YOUNGER BROTHER: CRIMINAL.

Shirahama.

Mr. Takakura.

You look well.

Yes.

I finally made it back.

I can finally tell you.

I'm

okay now.

So

move forward.

Keep going,

and don't stop.

What's up, boys! You seeing this?

Today we're here to check out
one of the miraculous survivors.

-The hot hairstylist Mr. Kayashima!
-Oh my!

-Yes!
-Let's go!

-Let's go!
-Excuse me, please shave my hair!

Idiot!

Get in, stupid!

Please give this to him!

I was so moved when I saw him on the news!

I'm very sorry.

You're affecting my customers.

What the hell is this?

We went to the future.

The world was in ruin.

Everyone. On December, 2026,

the world will change.

Nobody is safe.

Humanity will be culled, only the strong...

Those car six idiots are crazy.

What're they doing?

We should've left them.

People have started looking into
all of us after this interview.

I SUMMARIZED THE INFORMATION SITES FOR
EACH OF THE OTHER PASSENGERS

KAYOKO TERASAKI

MISSING PASSENGER PROFILE
KAYOKO TERASAKI

Ms. Terasaki.

THIS TRAIN THING IS A HUGE FARCE.

Yura.

The lasagna is done, come eat.

Yura.

Mom.

Did you really see the future?

Everyone thinks you're crazy.

It's time

I tell you the truth.

SHIRAHAMA IS SO HOT!
A BACKGROUND SUMMARY WITH PICTURES!

YUTO SHIRAHAMA
FIREMAN

Why?

"I'm a fan."

"Hot fireman."

"Yuto Shirahama will save the world."

"He's radiant."

Looks like you got loads of fans already.

Look.

It's Ms. Hatano.

I FOUND A PICTURE! SHE WAS A GYM TEACHER!

I actually quit my job at the school.

You quit?

I wanted to return,

but for the sake of the students
and parents...

Whoa.

What's this post?

Look at this.

Welcome, Ms. Akashi.

Hello!

I hear you got cozy
with my husband in the future!

Husband?

I'm Akashi's wife!

Wife?

-Don't play dumb!
-Wai...

I don't know where you were,

but you need to keep your hands
to your damn self!

What! Get away you crazy b*tch!

-What?!
-That's right!

We were in the future together!

The hell you looking at?

We're all gonna die anyway.

All because you don't listen to us!
Calling me crazy are you dum...

Are you for real?

-You come off horribly!
-It's Akashi's fault!

To think that he was married.

That lying b*stard!

Hey, isn't this all a mess already?

The amount of data modern people
consume in a day

took people in the past
a whole lifetime to accumulate.

Everyone is continually looking
for something new.

And irresponsibly create

a narrative that's most convenient.

They experience unity
through outrage and praise.

Look, Naoya.

Is this...

-Mom?
-He was a good boy.

And

it was just the three of us.

So life was hard,

but the three of us made
it through together somehow.

How brave.

Is it really Mom?

But when he became a hairstylist,

the three of us celebrated together.

I'm just so relieved and happy
that he made it back safely.

What would you like to say to Naoya now?

Well,

Naoya.

Thank you for becoming such
an upstanding man.

I am

so proud of you, son.

Actually,

I went by Mr. Tanaka's house.

I met his daughter.

My father's in the future?

You may not believe me.

But

he's still there.

He regrets not being able
to do anything for his family.

What?

At first,

I thought he was dangerous.

He'd have crazy outbursts,
and even pulled out his tooth.

And he named some weird doll "Meepo."

A complete psycho.

Meepo?

That was my nickname as a kid.

What?

Because

my name is Miho.

If

my father is still alive somewhere,

Please don't forget
what he entrusted you to do.

Hey, happy-go-lucky kid.

Don't you die!

TANAKA

So we have to save them.

We were entrusted to do this.

We

need to raise our voices.

For the people left behind.

I went to see Professor Hasumi
again today.

-Huh?
-And?

His assistant informed me.

If they run the plant sample

through lead and cesium-137 dating tests
and perform a genetic analysis,

they can determine how old it is.

And if we compare our meteorites with ones
here using cosmic-ray exposure testing,

we might be able to prove
that one is from the future.

Then once we have that data,

we can take it to the people in charge.

We might be able to make something happen!

We'd turn everything around!

OKONOMIYAKI

Thank you for bringing me.

I promised, after all.

You have the place to yourselves.

Take your time.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

I'll clean up front.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

-I'll do this too.
-Thanks.

Okay!

-Just holler anytime.
-Okay.

Okay.

I'm glad she's happy.

Are you though?

I am!

I guess when I first heard,

it was a bit painful.

But

having someone with you to overcome
the bad times and share the good times,

I think that's

true happiness.

I hope a future like that
is in store for us.

A future where

you can overcome anything

together.

It's just

I'm worried about Mr. Kayashima.

Welcome.

How am I supposed to choose?

M-Mr. Kayashima?

Huh?

Whoa.

I was just heading to
the salon to see you.

Oh!

There's something I want to see.

Huh...

So that's Bloom Tower.

I wanted to check it out.

Mr. Kayashima. How's your hand?

Looks like

my career days are over.

Come join our cause.

What?

We're going to make some moves soon.

We'd like your help.

With what?

We gonna march?

Like shout "let's change the future!"

It's pointless.

Say what you want.

You know what they're
posting online about us.

We have the responsibility.

Responsibility?

For what?

To save everyone.

We can't.

-That's why we need to raise our voices...
-We can't save them.

There's still time until December. If we...

It won't matter.

At the very least,

I won't.

Ever since we returned here,

I just wanna go back.

Back there.

I'm jealous of that old guy Tanaka.

Why would you say that?

Because

this place...

This whole world...

It's a damn cesspool!

It sucks.

This damn place.

Why?

We finally made it back.

Why are your eyes already dead?

See,

you get it now?

We may be alive,

but we can't be saved.

Then

I'll protect Ms. Hatano.

Support her until the day comes.

You're okay with that?

Are you really okay with that?

Such

a hero.

Best of luck to you.

Hey, Naoya.

You're really leaving?

Just laying low for a while.

Excuse me.

Bye.

It's a damn cesspool!

Fire reported.

Location: Ueno...

-Persons unconfirmed.
-Copy that.

Copy.

Gearing up.

Gearing up.

Buttoned up.

Zipped up.

Zipped up.

Jacket good.

It's in a residential area.

Copy that!

Mr. Kayashima?

It's Hatano.

Your boss gave me your number.

She told me you moved out.

Get in position.

Copy that.

You're with me.

-Yes, sir.
-He went back for...

You can save my husband, can't you?

-We'll do our best.
-Thank you.

Persons reported!

One male, age 75, second floor.

Rescue team will go in

and grab the victim.

Pump team, back up rescue.

Emergency, prepare transport!

Over!

Copy!

-Shirahama, extend lifeline.
-Copy!

Takeda, get rope!

Please stand back!

There he is!

Come on!

It's the hot fireman Yuto Shirahama!

-We love you!
-Hug me! Hug me!

Please get back!

He's so cool!

Extending hose!

You got this, Yuto!

He's so cool!

Locked in!

We love you, Yuto!
You're the hottest fireman right now!

Look over here!

After coming back,

there's one thing I've realized.

Mr. Kayashima.

I'm interested in you.

You can be harsh,

but deep down you're in pain
and have a hard time fitting in.

I'm finding myself always

thinking

about you.

Sorry.

I've forgotten about you.

The train,

the future,

I don't care anymore.

Please stand back!

Get back!

People's lives are at stake!

-It's fine! Let's get a selfie!
-Stop!

Ah! Hold up!

Yuto Shirahama just pushed down
innocent bystanders!

Did you all see that?
An incident just happened!

Get back!

I'm sorry.

Look at all the comments!

Stand down, Shirahama.

Coming through!

Holy crap.

It's Yuto Shirahama.

He's that fireman who
came back from the future.

He's getting flamed.

He punched him? Hey!

No way!

-When?
-Just now.

Oh, this isn't good.

Stop!

Yo.

Mr. Cancelled Fireman.

They really dragged you.

You get it now?

You see what I was saying?

You still gonna fight for them?

Well, I know how naive you are.

You'll just...

Fine.

You're right.

This place

sucks.

It can

burn in hell.

UENO FIRE STATION

A world like this...

Can burn in hell.

Yeah.

This place is trash.

But you can't say that.

You can't be like this.

FINAL EPISODE
THE FINAL DAY ARRIVES

My world changed after meeting them.

Take care of everyone for me.

How will we live until
the final day comes.
