"Kansai"

"Clock Out"

"No Entry"

Nice! Out on time today!

"Kansai"
"Seal Center"

"South Ward"
"Dotonbori"

Huh? A cat?

Hey, look out!

"Danger"

You got a death wish?!

S-Sorry!

"Cutthroat Public Execution Today"

"South Ward"
"Back Alley"
"Cutthroat Public Execution Today"

"Cutthroat Public Execution Today"

Hmm? Takoyaki?

Haven't had that in forever...

Maybe I should!

--One, two, three, four...

--Excuse me! One takoyaki, please!
--One, two, three, four...

Here ya go! That'll be 500 yen, please!

You too, dear!

--Here!
--Come again!

"Akudama Drive"

Um... What happened to the Akudama
and the people on the Shinkansen?

They left for Kanto. That's all I know.

I see...

And the uprising?

Check the Akudama list.

Huh?

"Akudama List"
"Count: 5625"
"In 13hr 16min: 1852 ex*cuted"

"Akudama List"
"Count: 5625"
"In 13hr 16min: 1852 ex*cuted"

There're so many!

There're so many!

All k*lled yesterday.

Huh?

The rioters were declared Akudama and ex*cuted.

You're kidding! They were just regular people!

People we have a duty to protect!

Those "regular people" started an uprising.

They caused damage, and that's a fact.

As a result, they were declared Akudama.

But--!

Executing the rioters
brought back peace to the city.

Kansai would have collapsed if nothing
was done, but Boss took action.

But to k*ll them?!

Senpai...

What makes someone an Akudama?

"Kansai Special Communication Room"
"Sky Hall"

Good job suppressing the uprising.

Thank you.

This will be reported to Kanto,
along with how well you handled it.

I'm honored.

Feels like forever since I laid in bed!

Huh?

"Boss" "Calling"
"Decline" "Accept"

Dude, leave me alone!
Go and spend time with your wife and kids!

I wanna forget about work
and go home on time every day!

That's the best way to live!

Now then! Time to get started
making dinner for toni--

Gah, that hurt!

Hmm?

What's this?

Did someone mistake my bag for theirs?

Huh?! What the heck?! Get back--!

What?!

"Takoyaki"

What?!

"Takoyaki"

Huh? What's going on?

Five hundred yen?

It checks out.

He's just a kid, but I guess the legendary
Courier gets the job done.

Courier never fails.

We sent the money.

Courier has confirmed the payment.

Good work.

Here's your tip.

Go buy candy or something.

Here ya go.

Five hundred yen?

Hello! Bunny here!

Huh?

'Sup?! It's Shark here!

Hey, Shark! You know about
the "Butterfly Dream"?

Of course I do!

Did you dream you're a butterfly,
or are you a butterfly dreaming you?

You knew something for once!

Everyone knows it! So you don't
know which you are, right?

I'm... trying to give 500 yen back... Wait, huh?

See? You're not even sure!
Like you're inside a dream!

You can't tell what's real and
what's a dream anymore, right?

But from now on, everything is real!

This nowhere place! This timeless now!
This is where you truly belong!

Lots of bad things happened
and a lot of things you regret!

But here, none of it is true!
The only thing that's real is happiness!

Only happiness?

Yup! Only happiness!

You can be the happiest
you've ever been--forever!

You can soak in happy feelings all day long!

Bed feels amazing!

Relive the good times, over and over!

Time to make okonomiyaki!

Enjoy your fondest memories
whenever you want! That's--

Whoa!

Hmm?

Here ya go. Come again.

Um, did you drop this coin?

Why, thank you!

Huh?

Courier!

I've been trying to give you
this money back for so long!

I'm so glad you finally took it!

Lemme tell you something.

Lemme tell you something.

She...

Courier...

...has a rotten mouth!

Huh?

What... the... heck?!

Huh?! What's happening?!

It's... the Shinkansen?!

Courier!

--Whoa!
--I finally linked up to your channel.

--I finally linked up to your channel.

It's a good thing you guys
had that coin in common.

That voice! Is that you, Hacker?!

It's not very nice to point your g*n at me.
Not when I saved your asses.

I'm glad to hear you're okay!

Where are you? Are you
watching us from somewhere?

You're half right and half wrong.

You're right that I've been watching you,
and wrong because I'm nowhere.

What's that mean?

How it sounds.

Anyways, can you explain what's going on?

Wasn't I in Kansai?
And I just saw Bunny and Shark!

The ones from that educational program thing!
And where's everyone else?!

That program was made for brainwashing.

It's a way to separate the body
and mind of those coming to Kanto.

It's the truth behind the Decontamination Zone.

Huh? The program is the Decontamination Zone?
What do you mean by "truth"?

You two were inside it just now.

If I hadn't helped, you would've been
trapped in Kanto with the others.

Huh? Trapped in Kanto?

Sister? Where's Sister?! And Brother!

The vault!

What'd you expect?
Those kids are what Kanto wanted.

More importantly, why don't you look outside?

Whoa...

This is Kanto?

This is?!

You're not wrong, but you're not right.

I'll show you the true form of Kanto.

Huh?! Does it work like that?!

Did he just do that like it's nothing?

What's that?

What is it?

This here... is Kanto.

This here? Kanto?

Hold up! What about this
weird place? I'm totally lost!

After the w*r, the people of Kanto
began converting their minds into data.

Storing and preserving that
much data proved challenging,

so they created this vessel to hold it.

This... is a quantum supercomputer.

Quantum?

You mean, the people of Kanto are inside this?

It's a utopia compared to Kansai, right?

Were you trapped by Kanto, too?

Being a genius, I protected my mind data
before getting taken by Kanto.

As you can see, I haven't forgot my appearance.

Anyways, what a crazy twist, right?

A world inside a quantum supercomputer.

Who would've thought Kanto
would be some overused sci-fi trope?

Kanto wasn't all that you'd hoped it would be.

Enough about this crazy Kanto stuff!
We've gotta find the children!

What are you talking about?
They've been up there the whole time.

Huh?

Sister! Brother!

What's happening?

What's it doing to them? What are they
to Kanto?! Answer me, Hacker!

No matter how amazing their technology,
there's something even Kanto can't escape.

And that's deterioration
over the span of many years.

So they researched and built an ideal housing.

You don't mean...

Kanto is gonna get put... inside them?!

Correct. As we speak, all of Kanto's data
is being transferred to their minds.

When that circle turns white...
Kanto's transfer will be complete.

With this, Kanto will be the perfect
utopia they always yearned for.

It's impossible.

There's a gravitational wave defense program
around the cube and children.

It's impossible to save 'em from here.

You've gotta be kidding me!

So the only reason they were born
was to be used by Kanto?!

They're parts needed for Kanto to last forever.

Those kids have fought against
all odds running away from Kanto.

Struggling to find a place where they belong.

This is where they belong more than anywhere.
Maybe you're overthinking--

This?!

This...? This is where they belong?!

Being used like objects...

Suffering so much...

Terrified of the place "they belong"?

Those kids... All they want is to be together.

It's the only thing they want in their lives!

Is it wrong of them to wanna make
that little dream come true?!

Why can't they decide where
they belong on their own?!

If that's the case, I'm not gonna stand for it!

You talk big for someone
who happily dove into bed.

Didn't Kanto let you be with
someone you can't forget?

That's revolting.

My memories are mine alone.

Wait for me... I'm coming...

I'm going to save you guys, even if it kills me!

You're gonna be so damn free...

...that you can tell this shitty world
"Serves you right!" and laugh in its face!

I've already made up my mind!

And nobody--nobody--is gonna stop me!

I said it's impossible to save the kids
from here. You got ears?

Hacker?

Interesting, isn't it?

Monitoring you guys, I realized something.

Huh?

You're all stupid, selfish, and egotistical.

Hacker? What are you...?

This is thanks for returning
my drone as promised.

Huh?

It'll be perfect to stave the boredom.

Hacker?! Where did you go?!

Didn't you hear? You can't
save the kids from there.

And?

But for me inside Kanto, I've got a chance.

Damn close to zero though.

Why do it? What's in it for you?

I'm just thanking Swindler.

Besides, this might finally
be a game that satisfies me.

Hacker.

I believe in you!

Sure you're not swindling me?

Let's do this! It's game time!

This goes deeper than I thought!

Talk about a firewall!

Found 'em!

Surf's up!

To think--me, getting my a*s kicked!

Now this is freakin' exciting!

Game... over, huh?

That's...

Those Kanto idiots.

You shouldn't have made the kids self-aware!

Did you enjoy your game?

Wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes!

Big Sis...

You idiot! Why didn't you run away?!

Because nothing matters if I'm not with you.

Brother, here!

You really looked after it for me!

Guess it went well.

Yup! You okay, Hacker?

Yeah.

Just fine.

Hurry up and get on the Shinkansen.
I'll send it back to Kansai.

What about you?

"Sender: Hacker"
"Subject: Gift for the Afterlife"

What's this?

"Sender: Hacker"
"Subject: Gift for the Afterlife"

A gift for the afterlife.

I found it in some pre-w*r literature.

It's a mystical place nobody's
heard about, let alone been to.

A perfect place for you guys.

Hacker, you give gifts for the
afterlife to people passing away.

But thank you.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Right.

"Shinkansen"
"Carriage 1: Vault Car"

Without solid ground,
bikes are just a pretty toy.

We can hear your heart talking.

Brother.

I guess your job is over now?

Yeah.

Thanks for everything.
It was worth every last penny of mine.

It's chump change.

Not even the richest person would say that!

What's your plan now?

This time, I'll protect you!

--No! I promised to protect you first!

--I think I'll take a gamble and head to this place.
--No! I promised to protect you first!

--But you were sh*t at protecting me!
If Executioners come, I'll beat their asses!

--Kinda all or nothing though.
--But you were sh*t at protecting me!
If Executioners come, I'll beat their asses!

--I'm making sure these kids escape.
--But you were sh*t at protecting me!
If Executioners come, I'll beat their asses!

--I'm making sure these kids escape.
--Since when were you so vulgar?

And you talk so much now!

--Girls mature while boys
are out playing with dirt!

--Hmm?
--Girls mature while boys
are out playing with dirt!

--Girls mature while boys
are out playing with dirt!

--What's this?
--Who taught you that?!

Hey, Brother! Big Sis and I
went on an adventure!

Adventure?! Swindler! What'd you do with my--?

Oh? Just a little adventure into adulthood.

--Right?
--Right?

--Huh?! Sister's too young
for that sort of thing!
--You can stay a kid, but I'm ready to grow up!

"Lock On"

Shields down. Preparing to attack.

Particle cannon, direct hit!
The Shinkansen was blown off the rails.

No response from the target as of yet.

"AKUDAMA DRIVE"

"AKUDAMA DRIVE"

Serves you right.
