TOKYO 16 July 1988

00:00:41,834 --> 00:00:45,354
Written and directed by
Katsuhiro Otomo

00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:44,030
SPRING TREE BAR
4
00:01:58,745 --> 00:02:00,036
The new taxes...
5
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,579
...have caused unemployment
to soar
6
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,290
Everywhere...
7
00:02:05,525 --> 00:02:08,270
...the jobless are rioting
8
00:02:17,576 --> 00:02:18,906
What will it be?
9
00:02:19,666 --> 00:02:21,908
Three fixes
10
00:02:39,274 --> 00:02:42,181
We cornered those Clown guys
11
00:02:43,913 --> 00:02:47,442
You gave me a fright bursting in
like that
12
00:02:47,870 --> 00:02:51,348
That’s because you’ve a guilty
conscience
13
00:02:53,618 --> 00:02:55,260
Serve regular drinks
14
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:59,405
Order some then. This isn’t
a waiting room
15
00:02:59,674 --> 00:03:01,784
Order your dog piss?
16
00:03:05,565 --> 00:03:10,913
Ceramic, double rotor,
two-wheel drive
17
00:03:11,127 --> 00:03:15,129
Computer-controlled anti-lock
brakes
18
00:03:15,561 --> 00:03:17,934
12,000 rpm, 200 horsepower
19
00:03:20,807 --> 00:03:22,923
Want a ride?
20
00:03:23,231 --> 00:03:24,606
Here we go
21
00:03:27,483 --> 00:03:30,857
My bike’s too hot for you
to handle
22
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:35,108
Who wants to ride it anyway?
23
00:03:36,916 --> 00:03:38,049
I can handle it
24
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:41,153
Get one for yourself then
25
00:04:47,898 --> 00:04:48,882
Disgusting
26
00:04:49,139 --> 00:04:51,060
Damned high school kids
27
00:04:57,745 --> 00:05:00,647
They went down that alley.
After them
28
00:05:14,097 --> 00:05:16,873
No time for stunts, kid
29
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:31,950
Patrol car 375. Gang warfare
on Route 14
30
00:06:32,211 --> 00:06:34,450
Request back up
31
00:06:39,009 --> 00:06:40,088
The police
32
00:06:40,509 --> 00:06:43,073
My engine’s only just warmed up
33
00:06:51,523 --> 00:06:53,966
Tetsuo, come on
34
00:07:05,036 --> 00:07:10,692
Riot police have clashed with
students. Injuries are reported
35
00:08:21,991 --> 00:08:26,433
This is a restricted area.
It’s dangerous
36
00:08:26,655 --> 00:08:27,975
Turn back
37
00:08:28,247 --> 00:08:29,235
That’s odd
38
00:08:29,498 --> 00:08:31,778
- Excuse me
- What are you doing?
39
00:08:40,419 --> 00:08:42,249
Look. Blood
40
00:08:43,174 --> 00:08:46,038
Who are they?
41
00:08:46,312 --> 00:08:47,498
Don’t push
42
00:08:51,893 --> 00:08:53,509
Let me through
43
00:08:53,937 --> 00:08:54,927
Ryu!
44
00:08:55,652 --> 00:08:57,547
They’re running away
45
00:09:03,034 --> 00:09:04,394
He’s armed
46
00:09:10,206 --> 00:09:11,191
Fire!
47
00:09:14,172 --> 00:09:15,903
Stop. There’s a kid
48
00:09:26,302 --> 00:09:27,328
Run for it
49
00:09:28,642 --> 00:09:29,957
Hurry
50
00:09:34,728 --> 00:09:36,629
Go to Ryu
51
00:09:36,898 --> 00:09:39,218
He’ll help you
52
00:09:43,693 --> 00:09:45,644
Quick. Run for it
53
00:10:17,916 --> 00:10:19,009
Kay
54
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:24,306
What are you waiting for?
55
00:10:28,001 --> 00:10:29,353
He’s vanished
56
00:10:38,611 --> 00:10:39,861
West?
57
00:10:40,921 --> 00:10:43,782
The old town
58
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:28,333
OLD TOWN. ENTRY PROHIBITED
59
00:11:49,651 --> 00:11:52,271
Ryu, where are you?
60
00:12:45,961 --> 00:12:47,193
Serves you right
61
00:12:57,058 --> 00:12:59,334
Hey, what happened?
62
00:12:59,611 --> 00:13:01,875
It’s okay, it’s not Tetsuo
63
00:13:02,531 --> 00:13:03,883
Let’s go
64
00:13:09,213 --> 00:13:13,686
Damn you. What did you do?
65
00:13:28,273 --> 00:13:30,413
Tetsuo, don’t give up
66
00:13:32,089 --> 00:13:33,167
What is it?
67
00:13:34,172 --> 00:13:35,348
He...
68
00:13:38,463 --> 00:13:40,469
He’s dying
69
00:13:41,515 --> 00:13:43,257
Hey there, wait
70
00:13:46,518 --> 00:13:47,783
Call an ambulance
71
00:13:48,025 --> 00:13:49,910
Don’t move him
72
00:13:59,028 --> 00:14:00,231
What’s that?
73
00:14:15,103 --> 00:14:16,494
You can’t escape
74
00:14:23,513 --> 00:14:25,136
I’ve come for you
75
00:14:31,255 --> 00:14:35,827
We can’t live in the outside world.
Let’s go home
76
00:14:39,316 --> 00:14:40,931
An army helicopter
77
00:15:01,210 --> 00:15:02,713
Get down
78
00:15:04,431 --> 00:15:06,060
We didn’t do anything
79
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:08,553
Flat on your faces.
80
00:15:17,980 --> 00:15:20,272
You’re hurting me
81
00:15:29,546 --> 00:15:33,179
- Who are they?
- Just bikers, sir
82
00:15:48,809 --> 00:15:50,600
Let’s go home
83
00:15:51,470 --> 00:15:53,089
You’re hurting me
84
00:15:53,344 --> 00:15:55,101
My arms don’t bend that way
85
00:15:55,346 --> 00:15:58,043
Take the wounded boy aboard
86
00:15:58,269 --> 00:16:01,784
Tetsuo! Where are taking him?
87
00:16:04,034 --> 00:16:07,934
- You can’t do this
- We’ve done nothing
88
00:16:50,782 --> 00:16:53,752
TOKYO OLYMPICS 147 DAYS TO GO
89
00:16:53,999 --> 00:16:56,024
STUDENT ID
90
00:17:09,176 --> 00:17:15,007
You were riding over to see
your dying mother...
91
00:17:15,475 --> 00:17:19,514
...and just happened to run into
the Clown Gang?
92
00:17:19,771 --> 00:17:23,402
Then, when one of you got hurt,
you went mad...
93
00:17:23,660 --> 00:17:25,650
...hospitalizing eight of them?
94
00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:28,993
Oh, she’s cute
95
00:17:31,455 --> 00:17:32,862
How’s your mother?
96
00:17:33,612 --> 00:17:37,124
She was over the worst last night
97
00:17:37,586 --> 00:17:40,381
Well enough to ride a bike?
98
00:17:46,842 --> 00:17:50,167
- They’re not the ones
- You can’t tell
99
00:17:51,896 --> 00:17:55,192
Sit on the bench and wait
100
00:17:58,723 --> 00:18:00,068
Next five
101
00:18:01,761 --> 00:18:04,026
The cops are helping the army...
102
00:18:04,264 --> 00:18:09,017
...round up anti-government
protesters
103
00:18:22,917 --> 00:18:24,917
To freedom and revolution
104
00:18:45,808 --> 00:18:48,438
That’s enough. Take him away
105
00:18:48,972 --> 00:18:50,909
I’ll work on him later
106
00:18:51,346 --> 00:18:54,824
Die if you want but leave us out
of it
107
00:18:55,077 --> 00:18:58,912
You kids can go. I’ve reported you
to your school
108
00:19:01,218 --> 00:19:03,382
Excuse me, old man
109
00:19:03,956 --> 00:19:04,963
Old man?
110
00:19:05,209 --> 00:19:07,640
There’s another of us
111
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,676
Can he leave too?
112
00:19:17,264 --> 00:19:19,302
Call me old man, would you?
113
00:19:21,303 --> 00:19:26,947
Listen, you. I’m only twenty-five
and I’m single. Watch your mouth
114
00:19:28,153 --> 00:19:29,991
He can go too
115
00:19:33,988 --> 00:19:38,190
The army wants that funny kid
Kaneda saw
116
00:19:38,875 --> 00:19:40,692
I thought I saw him too
117
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,948
More importantly, why won’t they
say where they took Tetsuo?
118
00:19:45,221 --> 00:19:46,594
What did you say?
119
00:19:46,827 --> 00:19:50,013
I said, how about a coffee?
120
00:19:50,553 --> 00:19:55,880
I’d like to discuss revolution
with you
121
00:19:56,681 --> 00:19:59,261
A new way to pick up girls
122
00:20:00,092 --> 00:20:02,940
You help any girl and then...
123
00:20:03,181 --> 00:20:06,143
Not any girl. My standards are high
124
00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:10,032
It wasn’t just your looks.
It was something else
125
00:20:10,473 --> 00:20:12,828
Call it a hunch
126
00:20:13,073 --> 00:20:16,783
Well, thanks anyway.
What’s your name?
127
00:20:17,035 --> 00:20:19,793
- Kaneda. Pleased to meet you
- Bye
128
00:20:21,042 --> 00:20:24,194
So soon? That’s not fair
129
00:20:24,459 --> 00:20:28,172
Wait. I helped free you, remember?
130
00:20:32,962 --> 00:20:35,584
At least tell me your name
131
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:43,296
I’ll talk to them but it’s risky.
The government might think...
132
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,765
...you’re shirking your duties.
That could finish you
133
00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:50,572
You think there’s a mole at work?
134
00:20:51,348 --> 00:20:52,581
It’s a fact
135
00:20:52,957 --> 00:20:57,359
Facts don’t count. It’s political
strategy that matters...
136
00:20:57,607 --> 00:20:59,368
...like it or not
137
00:20:59,631 --> 00:21:01,882
That’s not my scene
138
00:21:02,366 --> 00:21:05,872
Anyway, at the next Council
meeting...
139
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:10,838
...you will be questioned about
your duties and involvement
140
00:21:14,213 --> 00:21:15,378
A call, Colonel
141
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,554
You may well be sacked, Colonel
142
00:21:47,292 --> 00:21:49,163
Come this way
143
00:21:49,707 --> 00:21:54,345
Sorry to bother you but I had to
show you this
144
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:05,565
The pattern taken from this boy
is unlike any other
145
00:22:05,810 --> 00:22:08,792
The speed and type of growth
are new
146
00:22:09,494 --> 00:22:13,309
Was it caused by a shock when he met
No 26 or...?
147
00:22:13,948 --> 00:22:16,556
Have you compared it to Akira’s
pattern?
148
00:22:16,819 --> 00:22:18,985
We’re doing that now
149
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:26,236
It’s only a projected image...
150
00:22:26,499 --> 00:22:32,485
..based on accumulated data
but this boy might help solve...
151
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:35,997
...the mystery of Akira’s growth
pattern
152
00:22:36,270 --> 00:22:37,747
Okay. Proceed
153
00:22:38,022 --> 00:22:39,244
Thank you
154
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,756
We won’t let you down
155
00:22:44,612 --> 00:22:49,342
We’re thinking of prescribing
a Level Seven capsule
156
00:22:49,814 --> 00:22:51,010
Is that wise?
157
00:22:51,314 --> 00:22:52,309
Leave it to me
158
00:22:52,857 --> 00:22:59,231
I mean, when he grows as powerful
as Akira...
159
00:22:59,752 --> 00:23:02,645
...will you be able to control him?
160
00:23:05,747 --> 00:23:07,813
Can I trust you with this?
161
00:23:09,133 --> 00:23:13,527
If we collect more data and carry out
various tests...
162
00:23:13,789 --> 00:23:17,166
...we should definitely be able to...
163
00:23:19,230 --> 00:23:22,677
Maybe we shouldn’t touch
that power
164
00:23:23,692 --> 00:23:26,427
You mean it’s divine?
165
00:23:29,101 --> 00:23:31,424
A...ki...ra
166
00:23:32,055 --> 00:23:33,918
But we must touch it
167
00:23:34,188 --> 00:23:37,434
We have to control it
for our own use
168
00:23:37,701 --> 00:23:40,688
If it gets too much, dispose of him
169
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:43,522
Without hesitation
170
00:23:43,782 --> 00:23:45,182
Yes, Colonel
171
00:23:45,454 --> 00:23:50,185
This school is your last chance.
You’re way below average
172
00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:54,291
You’re social misfits. You’re scum
173
00:23:54,550 --> 00:23:58,371
Fail here and there’s nowhere
else for you to go
174
00:23:58,632 --> 00:24:01,379
More than 50 penalty points...
175
00:24:01,641 --> 00:24:04,380
...and it’s prison for you
176
00:24:06,398 --> 00:24:09,479
- Why won’t you listen?
- I was
177
00:24:09,731 --> 00:24:10,934
Then learn!
178
00:24:19,114 --> 00:24:21,947
Thank you, sir
179
00:24:23,753 --> 00:24:26,990
You bastard, one day I’ll get you
180
00:24:28,633 --> 00:24:31,215
- I won’t forget this
- Drop dead
181
00:24:37,719 --> 00:24:38,799
Hey, Yamagata
182
00:24:39,177 --> 00:24:42,642
- What happened to your face?
- It’s nothing
183
00:24:42,885 --> 00:24:47,559
Did the teacher hit you? I hear
you beat up the Clowns
184
00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:51,320
You should kill them next time.
They’re scum
185
00:24:51,556 --> 00:24:56,320
There was a demo last night.
That idiot Tetsuo had an accident
186
00:24:56,913 --> 00:24:58,490
Where is he?
187
00:24:58,739 --> 00:25:00,279
In hospital somewhere
188
00:25:00,531 --> 00:25:03,286
He tried to play the hero
189
00:25:06,082 --> 00:25:09,115
- That idiot...
- Worried about Tetsuo?
190
00:25:09,358 --> 00:25:11,951
Shut up. Stop clinging to me
191
00:25:12,206 --> 00:25:13,729
Why’ve you changed?
192
00:25:29,836 --> 00:25:32,761
Tetsuo, time for your medicine
193
00:25:34,308 --> 00:25:36,784
Doctor, he’s gone
194
00:25:40,772 --> 00:25:45,276
I can’t make it before ten.
Our matron is so strict
195
00:25:45,864 --> 00:25:50,277
The old cow is always
on the watch
196
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:53,415
Tomorrow at three? Okay?
197
00:26:02,928 --> 00:26:03,928
Kaori
198
00:26:08,475 --> 00:26:12,378
We were afraid you were dead
199
00:26:19,142 --> 00:26:23,363
When I woke up, I was on
an operating table
200
00:26:23,597 --> 00:26:29,354
Whatever the test was,
they were fiddling with my brain
201
00:26:30,523 --> 00:26:33,829
l don’t want to go back.
Let’s run away
202
00:26:34,727 --> 00:26:36,023
Where to?
203
00:26:37,535 --> 00:26:38,550
Anywhere
204
00:26:39,787 --> 00:26:41,927
Somewhere far away
205
00:26:47,094 --> 00:26:49,052
No class today
206
00:26:50,019 --> 00:26:55,070
What? No class when I’m all fired up?
207
00:26:55,322 --> 00:26:56,483
It’s outrageous
208
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,015
Kaneda, your bike
209
00:27:00,272 --> 00:27:01,660
My bike?
210
00:27:02,818 --> 00:27:03,809
Look
211
00:27:11,327 --> 00:27:12,822
Is it okay?
212
00:27:13,048 --> 00:27:15,126
Shut up. Just hold on
213
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,723
ENTRY PROHIBITED
214
00:27:27,169 --> 00:27:28,561
What is it?
215
00:27:31,965 --> 00:27:35,194
Oh, no, it’s stopped
216
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:41,142
I see. You really have to rev up
when you change gear
217
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:44,723
My bottom aches. Some bikes
are coming
218
00:27:46,432 --> 00:27:49,041
Kaneda and the others
219
00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:50,680
No, it’s not
220
00:27:58,468 --> 00:28:00,366
You found Tetsuo?
221
00:28:00,626 --> 00:28:06,068
Kawata’s searching Kisarazu.
Let’s try the industrial area
222
00:28:10,105 --> 00:28:12,801
Thanks for the other night
223
00:28:25,912 --> 00:28:28,825
Kaori, are you all right?
224
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:35,469
Stop!
225
00:28:35,740 --> 00:28:39,829
One scratch on that bike and
I’ll kill you
226
00:28:45,822 --> 00:28:46,839
Run
227
00:28:47,462 --> 00:28:49,081
They’re escaping
228
00:28:55,306 --> 00:28:56,358
Wait
229
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:27,088
Stop. Don’t kill him
230
00:29:27,544 --> 00:29:30,100
I will kill him. My head’s splitting
231
00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:34,127
That’s enough. You started
all this...
232
00:29:34,385 --> 00:29:36,647
...by taking my bike
233
00:29:37,063 --> 00:29:39,806
Shut up. Stop ordering me about
234
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:44,772
- I was worried
- Why always come to my rescue?
235
00:29:46,534 --> 00:29:51,080
I can take care of myself.
I was beaten this time...
236
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:54,275
...but I won’t always be beaten
237
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,851
Understand?
238
00:30:03,783 --> 00:30:05,628
Don’t come near me
239
00:30:08,043 --> 00:30:09,973
Where are you going?
240
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:12,631
Let me be
241
00:30:15,182 --> 00:30:16,760
Akira
242
00:30:25,154 --> 00:30:26,355
What’s wrong?
243
00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:28,225
Akira
244
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,398
I don’t know him
245
00:31:01,712 --> 00:31:04,975
Something’s wrong. See the blue
in the scanner?
246
00:31:05,947 --> 00:31:08,490
Get him back quick
247
00:31:22,573 --> 00:31:24,880
What are you doing to him?
248
00:31:28,623 --> 00:31:32,911
Have you just been to a funeral?
249
00:31:54,529 --> 00:31:55,523
Wait
250
00:32:17,628 --> 00:32:20,863
Some kids never give up
despite the heavy security
251
00:32:21,337 --> 00:32:24,399
Because they’re stupid
252
00:32:27,111 --> 00:32:29,154
This is boring
253
00:32:29,595 --> 00:32:32,122
Let’s go home
254
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:34,154
It’s too early
255
00:32:34,392 --> 00:32:38,154
Without their bikes, the boys
are like fish out of water
256
00:32:38,399 --> 00:32:39,613
We’re ’kappa’
257
00:32:39,874 --> 00:32:42,647
Who cares what fish you are?
258
00:32:43,192 --> 00:32:46,154
Kaneda, what shall we do?
259
00:33:17,727 --> 00:33:18,981
It’s that girl
260
00:33:19,809 --> 00:33:22,437
Not again. Let’s not get caught
261
00:33:29,081 --> 00:33:31,075
Owing to terrorist action...
262
00:33:31,326 --> 00:33:33,584
...this area is being closed
263
00:33:35,754 --> 00:33:38,499
Please have your ID cards ready
264
00:33:49,459 --> 00:33:50,725
Get in
265
00:33:51,070 --> 00:33:54,030
Go on. I’ll come later
266
00:33:55,017 --> 00:33:56,403
Know where to meet?
267
00:33:58,112 --> 00:34:00,979
- Take care
- You too, Ryu
268
00:34:14,552 --> 00:34:15,802
Stop
269
00:34:18,825 --> 00:34:20,370
She’s armed
270
00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:33,934
Drop your gun
271
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,331
Quick, drop it
272
00:35:05,747 --> 00:35:07,406
The shots came from here
273
00:35:07,678 --> 00:35:09,844
- Two shots
- No, three
274
00:35:11,331 --> 00:35:12,850
Let’s run
275
00:36:21,247 --> 00:36:22,242
Kaneda
276
00:36:48,815 --> 00:36:51,934
Have you something to tell me?
277
00:36:52,824 --> 00:36:54,907
I had a dream
278
00:36:55,664 --> 00:36:57,357
A dream?
279
00:36:58,710 --> 00:37:03,464
A black shadow fell over the city
and it was destroyed
280
00:37:04,286 --> 00:37:09,726
Many people died and
we met Akira again
281
00:37:10,465 --> 00:37:11,519
Akira?
282
00:37:12,249 --> 00:37:18,259
The city is going to be destroyed.
Thousands of people will die
283
00:37:19,468 --> 00:37:23,017
When will it happen? When?
284
00:37:23,472 --> 00:37:29,357
Don’t let the boy go.
It’s his power...
285
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,251
- Trouble?
- No
286
00:37:38,490 --> 00:37:42,801
Physically speaking, everything is
normal
287
00:37:42,991 --> 00:37:45,322
Normal cardiograph....
288
00:37:45,571 --> 00:37:48,850
...and brain waves
289
00:37:49,579 --> 00:37:54,916
What she said was based
on precognition and foresight
290
00:37:55,147 --> 00:38:00,838
- We must report it to the Council
- Do you believe her?
291
00:38:01,612 --> 00:38:06,109
There’s no doubting her ability.
Various data prove it
292
00:38:06,325 --> 00:38:08,597
Do you believe her?
293
00:38:09,161 --> 00:38:14,115
That’s not my job. I just have to
decide whether to take action
294
00:38:26,867 --> 00:38:28,727
Here, sir
295
00:38:29,009 --> 00:38:31,624
Your arctic suit, Colonel.
And yours, Doctor
296
00:38:43,756 --> 00:38:48,142
The other day a researcher
asked me if the power...
297
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:52,662
...of these beings was a new
human evolutionary form
298
00:38:52,913 --> 00:38:56,958
Would we be able to control it
some day?
299
00:38:58,252 --> 00:39:04,293
You scientists are romantics.
We consider the risks first
300
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:06,665
It took thirty years...
301
00:39:06,911 --> 00:39:12,665
...to rebuild this city.
How can we take the risk?
302
00:39:13,350 --> 00:39:17,928
I thought you hated this city
303
00:39:18,147 --> 00:39:22,748
Gone are the passion and joy
of reconstruction
304
00:39:23,022 --> 00:39:26,675
Now it’s a junkyard of desire-driven
idiots
305
00:39:27,448 --> 00:39:30,679
Yet you’re trying to save it
306
00:39:31,225 --> 00:39:35,443
That’s a soldier for you.
Scientists never understand
307
00:39:38,402 --> 00:39:39,950
Colonel, we’re here
308
00:40:02,399 --> 00:40:05,521
Room 10, 148k
309
00:40:06,068 --> 00:40:08,562
Vertical tolerance range checked
310
00:40:08,810 --> 00:40:12,026
Room 9, 118K, tolerance range
checked
311
00:40:12,265 --> 00:40:15,023
Emergency generator checked
312
00:40:16,436 --> 00:40:18,671
- Open it
- Sir?
313
00:40:18,855 --> 00:40:21,032
Open the control room
314
00:40:38,602 --> 00:40:40,067
Room One
315
00:40:40,335 --> 00:40:46,600
Within the tolerance range.
No fault either in the walls...
316
00:40:46,836 --> 00:40:49,099
...or in the defence system
317
00:40:49,511 --> 00:40:53,065
No reaction to alien energy
318
00:40:53,271 --> 00:40:55,567
Everything normal
319
00:41:05,193 --> 00:41:06,712
See how confused...
320
00:41:06,956 --> 00:41:10,782
...and scared beyond endurance
they were by this
321
00:41:11,023 --> 00:41:16,977
To their shame, they threw away
their civilization and science
322
00:41:17,742 --> 00:41:23,005
They sealed off this chamber of fear
they themselves had opened
323
00:41:26,836 --> 00:41:27,839
Ryu?
324
00:41:28,068 --> 00:41:32,425
We’re young. We can start again.
I’ll go with you
325
00:41:32,678 --> 00:41:34,021
Give yourself up
326
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:39,061
It was your first offence.
Did you kill him?
327
00:41:39,915 --> 00:41:44,402
When it’s all blown over, we
can go for a coffee or something
328
00:41:45,502 --> 00:41:51,523
Don’t worry. It’s over, there’s nothing
you can do about it
329
00:41:58,348 --> 00:41:59,672
Who’s that?
330
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,177
Ryu, you’re safe
331
00:42:06,522 --> 00:42:07,567
Who are you?
332
00:42:09,217 --> 00:42:10,766
Me? Well...
333
00:42:11,013 --> 00:42:15,848
...let’s say I’m Kay’s boyfriend.
That’s probably exaggerating
334
00:42:16,283 --> 00:42:19,327
I mean, it’s not a deep relationship
yet
335
00:42:19,683 --> 00:42:20,943
- A spy
- No
336
00:42:21,204 --> 00:42:22,246
Liar
337
00:42:26,668 --> 00:42:28,608
You can vouch for him?
338
00:42:28,837 --> 00:42:31,229
At least he’s not a spy
339
00:42:35,236 --> 00:42:37,122
Sneak into the lab?
340
00:42:37,750 --> 00:42:39,930
Think we can do it?
341
00:42:40,182 --> 00:42:43,303
It’s an emergency and the plan is good
342
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:49,096
A weekly pass to the lab
343
00:42:49,764 --> 00:42:51,219
From Mr Nezu?
344
00:42:52,518 --> 00:42:55,724
- The target?
- Data on the new test subject
345
00:42:55,984 --> 00:42:57,888
The new test subject?
346
00:42:58,143 --> 00:43:03,740
Yes. When we tried to kidnap No 26
last week...
347
00:43:04,661 --> 00:43:09,675
...a boy had an accident on
the motorway and was sent to the lab
348
00:43:09,962 --> 00:43:14,696
A student from training school.
He’s the new test subject
349
00:43:22,307 --> 00:43:24,158
You’re hurting me
350
00:43:25,419 --> 00:43:27,343
He heard us. Eliminate him
351
00:43:27,919 --> 00:43:31,673
Wait. Listen. Listen to me
352
00:43:31,918 --> 00:43:34,224
- He saved my life
- Twice
353
00:43:34,466 --> 00:43:36,178
Maybe to reach us
354
00:43:36,432 --> 00:43:39,677
The boy who had that accident
is my friend
355
00:43:39,925 --> 00:43:44,942
It sounds crazy but I was
with him when it happened
356
00:43:46,179 --> 00:43:52,370
Believe me for once. Hearing
is believing, isn’t it?
357
00:43:55,629 --> 00:43:58,382
Will you hold on to him?
358
00:43:59,957 --> 00:44:04,384
He knows the test subject.
We can use him as a hostage
359
00:44:04,848 --> 00:44:07,962
Neo Tokyo is going to change
360
00:44:08,644 --> 00:44:13,972
This city has reached saturation point.
It’s like an overripe fruit
361
00:44:14,221 --> 00:44:20,474
Be patient. The fruit and its new seed
will be blown down by a wind
362
00:44:21,098 --> 00:44:23,827
A wind called Akira
363
00:44:24,507 --> 00:44:26,550
Ryu, look at that
364
00:44:27,982 --> 00:44:29,060
What is it?
365
00:44:29,326 --> 00:44:31,494
We won’t change that...
366
00:44:31,728 --> 00:44:34,625
...but the people who want Akira will
367
00:44:36,112 --> 00:44:38,142
Distortion of the truth...
368
00:44:38,409 --> 00:44:42,172
...in the name of science
369
00:44:42,429 --> 00:44:44,668
Waste upon waste
370
00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:49,502
Desolation of people’s hearts
in the name of culture
371
00:44:49,758 --> 00:44:52,021
The time to awake is near
372
00:44:52,273 --> 00:44:57,965
Atone for your sins. The great Akira’s
awakening is nigh
373
00:44:59,363 --> 00:45:05,201
Disperse. Holding meetings here
is prohibited
374
00:45:06,376 --> 00:45:11,694
Anti-government demonstrations are
on the increase
375
00:45:11,952 --> 00:45:15,358
Soldiers, riot police and even
traffic police...
376
00:45:15,629 --> 00:45:19,473
...have been mobilized
at enormous cost
377
00:45:19,749 --> 00:45:25,444
Yet it didn’t stop the attempted
kidnap of our biggest state secret
378
00:45:25,723 --> 00:45:28,616
Neo Tokyo is out of control
379
00:45:28,893 --> 00:45:33,664
And then, what about No 25’s
predictions...
380
00:45:33,939 --> 00:45:37,521
...for which you requested
additional funds?
381
00:45:37,763 --> 00:45:41,022
It’s no joke. Especially when all
of us...
382
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,345
...have to face a public...
383
00:45:44,610 --> 00:45:49,662
...suffering under the former premier’s
crazy tax policy
384
00:45:49,914 --> 00:45:52,540
Where’s the cash to come from?
385
00:45:52,792 --> 00:45:57,170
You’ve appropriated huge sums
for that grotesque kindergarten
386
00:45:57,671 --> 00:46:00,089
It’s the Olympics next year
387
00:46:00,341 --> 00:46:04,106
How long must we squander money
on those zombies?
388
00:46:04,374 --> 00:46:07,278
We need that money for welfare
389
00:46:09,168 --> 00:46:14,917
Unless we manage to control Akira,
we’ll lose everything
390
00:46:16,023 --> 00:46:18,762
You’re too young to understand
391
00:46:19,012 --> 00:46:21,611
Your lack of policy has created
confusion
392
00:46:21,862 --> 00:46:26,102
There’s no evidence that Akira
caused the last war
393
00:46:26,362 --> 00:46:32,240
Do we have to have another disaster
before you’ll understand?
394
00:46:32,491 --> 00:46:34,999
Did anyone ever see this Akira?
395
00:46:35,251 --> 00:46:37,433
It’s No 25, isn’t it?
396
00:46:37,825 --> 00:46:39,369
No, it’s No 21
397
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:42,609
The Colonel forgets he’s a soldier
398
00:46:43,652 --> 00:46:49,532
Anti-government protesters are using
this Akira madness...
399
00:46:49,798 --> 00:46:51,963
...to incite demonstrations
400
00:46:52,194 --> 00:46:53,528
That’s not true
401
00:46:53,986 --> 00:46:58,287
There’s a leak about the Akira
reform movement
402
00:46:58,552 --> 00:47:01,793
Reform movement! We’re doomed
403
00:47:02,111 --> 00:47:05,864
Akira is an excuse to shirk your duties
404
00:47:06,341 --> 00:47:07,762
Repeat that
405
00:47:08,025 --> 00:47:13,246
We can’t allow your arbitrary actions
to decide...
406
00:47:13,529 --> 00:47:17,021
...the safety of Neo Tokyo
any longer
407
00:47:17,654 --> 00:47:21,011
You’ll be questioned by
the Committee
408
00:47:26,366 --> 00:47:27,615
Excuse me
409
00:47:31,297 --> 00:47:34,035
We haven’t finished yet
410
00:47:34,810 --> 00:47:37,183
You’re slighting the Council
411
00:48:02,116 --> 00:48:03,230
Water
412
00:48:36,704 --> 00:48:38,297
One moment
413
00:48:38,578 --> 00:48:42,080
Wasn’t the cable due to be changed
next week?
414
00:48:42,652 --> 00:48:48,064
It arrived early. Besides, my holiday
starts this weekend
415
00:48:48,334 --> 00:48:52,607
I’ve brought my men too.
We could take the stuff back...
416
00:48:53,883 --> 00:48:57,620
...but this would save a lot of time
and trouble
417
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,898
Let’s go
418
00:50:35,741 --> 00:50:37,223
What are you?
419
00:51:06,351 --> 00:51:07,373
Milk?
420
00:51:15,582 --> 00:51:16,594
Go away
421
00:51:23,173 --> 00:51:24,173
Blood
422
00:51:30,577 --> 00:51:32,894
- Blood
- I’m scared
423
00:51:41,241 --> 00:51:42,239
Disgusting
424
00:51:43,451 --> 00:51:45,359
What are they?
425
00:52:40,896 --> 00:52:46,600
No 887 Tetsuo Shima.
Lock malfunction
426
00:52:52,103 --> 00:52:54,812
You mustn’t leave your room
427
00:53:00,622 --> 00:53:02,861
- Go back in
- What a mess
428
00:53:27,514 --> 00:53:31,644
Fifty-eight units don’t answer
to the computer
429
00:53:31,893 --> 00:53:36,647
Forty of them are located on
the seventh and eighth floors
430
00:53:39,421 --> 00:53:41,647
The central tunnel is ahead
431
00:53:42,497 --> 00:53:45,654
We can go direct to the basement
from there
432
00:53:46,375 --> 00:53:49,558
Careful. It’s deeper near the centre
433
00:53:49,808 --> 00:53:52,077
- It stinks
- Shut up
434
00:53:52,340 --> 00:53:56,282
What’s wrong with your nose?
435
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:57,661
Hurry up
436
00:54:00,721 --> 00:54:01,868
Take cover
437
00:54:03,103 --> 00:54:05,241
- Where?
- Idiot. Where do you think?
438
00:54:21,366 --> 00:54:25,780
- They’ve tightened security
- Shall we make a check?
439
00:54:26,412 --> 00:54:31,783
Yes. Let’s look at their security set-up
440
00:54:32,340 --> 00:54:33,577
They’ve seen us
441
00:54:33,851 --> 00:54:34,862
Run
442
00:54:36,848 --> 00:54:38,042
Don’t shoot
443
00:54:46,725 --> 00:54:48,596
Run for it
444
00:54:54,912 --> 00:54:56,185
They’re coming
445
00:54:56,870 --> 00:54:58,194
It won’t work
446
00:55:04,117 --> 00:55:05,187
Die!
447
00:55:06,636 --> 00:55:08,197
Contact with intruders...
448
00:55:08,473 --> 00:55:11,620
...in Tunnel 304H. Request help
449
00:55:13,044 --> 00:55:14,453
They’re coming
450
00:55:44,328 --> 00:55:45,643
My gun
451
00:56:01,808 --> 00:56:04,199
Kay, this way
452
00:56:04,633 --> 00:56:05,707
Hurry
453
00:56:07,598 --> 00:56:08,822
Kaneda. Hurry
454
00:56:39,770 --> 00:56:41,417
Where’s the brake?
455
00:56:42,428 --> 00:56:46,414
- It’s not that switch
- This is the central tunnel
456
00:56:53,235 --> 00:56:55,932
That’s the brake. I’m starting to
understand
457
00:56:56,195 --> 00:56:57,937
May we use guns
458
00:56:58,451 --> 00:56:59,517
Louder
459
00:57:00,276 --> 00:57:02,431
There’s no mistake
460
00:57:02,693 --> 00:57:07,692
That boy is a patient, Tetsuo Shima,
the test subject
461
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:11,154
- He’s heading for the Baby Unit
- Tetsuo?
462
00:57:11,617 --> 00:57:16,699
This is extremely dangerous.
Don’t let him through!
463
00:57:53,670 --> 00:57:55,237
You can’t hide them
464
00:57:55,762 --> 00:57:58,241
Shoot. There’s no other way
465
00:57:58,506 --> 00:58:01,227
He mustn’t get any closer
466
00:58:02,178 --> 00:58:03,164
Fire
467
00:58:43,311 --> 00:58:45,623
There you are
468
00:58:50,768 --> 00:58:51,748
Stop
469
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:56,746
Haven’t you had enough?
470
00:59:03,874 --> 00:59:05,508
Where’s the other one?
471
00:59:07,326 --> 00:59:08,854
What are you doing?
472
00:59:14,342 --> 00:59:15,495
Takashi
473
00:59:25,894 --> 00:59:30,691
What’s the matter with me?
Am I dreaming?
474
00:59:31,269 --> 00:59:35,256
Do I have that much power?
475
00:59:41,703 --> 00:59:43,684
Which way now?
476
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:47,177
Straight. Just go straight
477
00:59:49,003 --> 00:59:50,688
There’s a lift
478
00:59:53,423 --> 00:59:56,311
It’ll take us to Basement 8
479
01:00:04,267 --> 01:00:06,649
There you are
480
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:13,372
Is wanting to kill me
part of the game?
481
01:00:14,611 --> 01:00:16,408
I’ll kill you
482
01:00:21,935 --> 01:00:23,767
You’re the boy I saw
483
01:00:25,914 --> 01:00:27,711
Let’s get him
484
01:00:34,494 --> 01:00:35,897
Damned brats
485
01:00:52,607 --> 01:00:53,845
Stop that
486
01:01:02,742 --> 01:01:04,344
Who are you?
487
01:01:08,197 --> 01:01:10,932
You have a headache?
488
01:01:11,167 --> 01:01:17,232
Your power isn’t perfected yet.
Don’t use it too much. Do as I say
489
01:01:18,119 --> 01:01:22,488
You! What did you do to my brain?
490
01:01:31,144 --> 01:01:35,023
- Take it easy, Tetsuo
- He can’t control it
491
01:01:40,405 --> 01:01:41,423
What?
492
01:01:41,906 --> 01:01:47,202
A big boy like you shouldn’t use
the power like that
493
01:01:47,405 --> 01:01:48,632
It’ll end badly
494
01:01:49,478 --> 01:01:51,431
Mind your own business
495
01:01:54,485 --> 01:01:57,437
What? Greater power than mine?
496
01:02:01,623 --> 01:02:07,946
So that’s what been giving me
a headache! Where’s this Akira guy?
497
01:02:08,971 --> 01:02:12,991
Kiyoko said you’d be the one
to reactivate Akira
498
01:02:13,253 --> 01:02:17,577
If he’s reactivated, no one can
stop him. So, before you act...
499
01:02:17,853 --> 01:02:19,586
Fool, Akira is already...
500
01:02:19,819 --> 01:02:21,210
Where is he?
501
01:02:25,562 --> 01:02:26,757
Shut up
502
01:02:35,329 --> 01:02:40,301
Emergency standby on Level 7.
We’re on disaster alert
503
01:02:40,576 --> 01:02:43,641
Emergency standby on Level 7
504
01:02:55,849 --> 01:02:56,874
Hands up
505
01:03:00,401 --> 01:03:02,246
Where’s the Baby Unit?
506
01:03:15,702 --> 01:03:16,763
Run
507
01:03:22,424 --> 01:03:23,648
Out of my way
508
01:03:27,748 --> 01:03:28,823
Kiyoko
509
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:53,890
Kaneda? What are you doing here?
510
01:03:57,209 --> 01:03:59,438
We came to help you
511
01:04:02,505 --> 01:04:06,190
Come on, idiot, or they’ll catch us
512
01:04:08,585 --> 01:04:11,026
There he is. Nail him
513
01:04:13,049 --> 01:04:14,370
Stay away
514
01:04:22,972 --> 01:04:25,045
I forgot you were there
515
01:04:27,437 --> 01:04:33,094
Leave me alone. I don’t need your help
any more
516
01:04:34,531 --> 01:04:40,105
From now on, I rescue you.
Just tip me the wink
517
01:04:40,365 --> 01:04:44,440
Who do you think you’re talking to?
518
01:04:46,590 --> 01:04:52,191
So you don’t like the way I talk?
What if you are offended?
519
01:04:52,513 --> 01:04:55,490
What are you going to do about it?
520
01:05:05,859 --> 01:05:07,125
Stop it
521
01:05:08,191 --> 01:05:10,655
Don’t hurt anyone any more
522
01:05:12,533 --> 01:05:13,970
Where’s Akira?
523
01:05:15,112 --> 01:05:16,175
He’s...
524
01:05:16,867 --> 01:05:19,887
In the Olympic Stadium basement?
525
01:05:20,954 --> 01:05:23,347
No, Akira isn’t there
526
01:05:26,714 --> 01:05:27,692
Wait
527
01:05:38,852 --> 01:05:41,770
Is this another talent of mine?
528
01:05:47,755 --> 01:05:49,368
Are you all right?
529
01:05:49,895 --> 01:05:51,547
She’s not hurt
530
01:05:51,817 --> 01:05:54,054
Masaru, you’re bleeding
531
01:05:54,576 --> 01:05:57,970
- What happened to him?
- He flew away
532
01:05:58,237 --> 01:06:00,845
So he has that much power
533
01:06:02,786 --> 01:06:06,432
What is all this? Is anyone still here?
534
01:06:06,695 --> 01:06:09,806
He’s gained so much power
in so little time
535
01:06:10,581 --> 01:06:12,342
Find Tetsuo
536
01:06:13,879 --> 01:06:15,109
Come on
537
01:06:21,060 --> 01:06:22,869
He went to Akira
538
01:06:23,140 --> 01:06:26,481
What? So you three are safe
539
01:06:26,978 --> 01:06:30,215
He went to the Olympic Stadium
basement
540
01:06:30,973 --> 01:06:32,549
How did he know?
541
01:06:36,602 --> 01:06:40,217
He can read thoughts now?
542
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,602
After him. Prepare for pursuit
543
01:06:48,337 --> 01:06:51,610
He’s heading tor the stadium
544
01:06:53,509 --> 01:06:54,728
It’s you
545
01:07:01,017 --> 01:07:07,493
The guards in the tunnel killed
two intruders. The others escaped
546
01:07:07,773 --> 01:07:10,620
Before the power is activated...
547
01:07:13,016 --> 01:07:14,623
Catch Tetsuo
548
01:07:16,148 --> 01:07:21,847
If you can’t catch him, lure him
into the old city
549
01:07:22,483 --> 01:07:24,676
It’s of the utmost urgency
550
01:07:26,618 --> 01:07:28,689
We’ve been waiting for you
551
01:07:30,288 --> 01:07:31,813
Who are you?
552
01:07:33,790 --> 01:07:37,719
The Council sent us here
to read you this
553
01:07:39,472 --> 01:07:45,826
At 2400 hours tonight, you will
relinquish your command and rank
554
01:07:48,343 --> 01:07:50,500
You are to come with us
555
01:07:50,930 --> 01:07:55,927
You want me to hand over
Neo Tokyo to those idiots?
556
01:07:57,942 --> 01:07:59,175
Kill them
557
01:08:01,649 --> 01:08:02,926
Wait
558
01:08:04,483 --> 01:08:05,475
Stop
559
01:08:05,873 --> 01:08:10,502
Face reality. Don’t let corrupt
politicians fool you
560
01:08:15,549 --> 01:08:16,735
Don’t you see?
561
01:08:17,009 --> 01:08:19,719
Fighting is useless
562
01:08:23,670 --> 01:08:26,249
Issue an emergency decree
563
01:08:26,508 --> 01:08:32,242
Arrest all the Council members
while we catch Tetsuo
564
01:08:32,799 --> 01:08:36,254
Calling all units. Emergency
565
01:08:48,146 --> 01:08:50,305
Are you alone?
566
01:08:53,197 --> 01:08:57,776
I heard you had an accident.
Are you okay now?
567
01:08:58,460 --> 01:09:00,552
Give me some capsules
568
01:09:02,203 --> 01:09:05,640
You sure you’re all right?
You’re very pale
569
01:09:05,965 --> 01:09:07,653
Give me some
570
01:09:08,302 --> 01:09:14,668
Okay. But owing to demos and
terrorism, they’re hard to come by
571
01:09:15,693 --> 01:09:19,453
Supplies are short
so the price is high
572
01:09:25,953 --> 01:09:30,638
With Tetsuo and Kaneda gone,
we’re the last of our gang
573
01:09:30,875 --> 01:09:33,478
And because of the police traps...
574
01:09:33,743 --> 01:09:36,171
...we don’t see the Clowns
575
01:09:50,421 --> 01:09:51,621
He’s dead
576
01:09:54,511 --> 01:09:55,959
Who’s that?
577
01:10:02,948 --> 01:10:06,939
What are you doing here?
578
01:10:07,912 --> 01:10:10,443
Want a fix?
579
01:10:10,900 --> 01:10:13,768
Cut it out. What happened?
580
01:10:14,593 --> 01:10:16,836
The barman is dead
581
01:10:20,216 --> 01:10:21,787
Dead, is he?
582
01:10:23,135 --> 01:10:28,033
You are Tetsuo, aren’t you?
583
01:10:28,849 --> 01:10:31,027
Kaneda sends his greetings
584
01:10:31,519 --> 01:10:33,029
You saw him?
585
01:10:33,270 --> 01:10:35,146
He must be dead by now
586
01:10:38,734 --> 01:10:42,088
Did you kill him?
587
01:10:42,363 --> 01:10:46,624
He doesn’t need his bike now.
Where is it?
588
01:10:48,786 --> 01:10:51,019
I don’t want it any more
589
01:10:51,872 --> 01:10:52,956
Bastard
590
01:11:07,179 --> 01:11:08,410
You bastard
591
01:11:15,104 --> 01:11:16,919
He went to Akira?
592
01:11:17,189 --> 01:11:19,294
So the girl said
593
01:11:19,533 --> 01:11:25,917
Because they’re after Akira, the army
and Ryu are following Tetsuo
594
01:11:26,323 --> 01:11:32,207
It has something to do with
Tetsuo’s power. Who is this Akira?
595
01:11:35,750 --> 01:11:40,503
Ryu told me. Akira is absolute energy
596
01:11:40,839 --> 01:11:42,589
Absolute energy?
597
01:11:42,798 --> 01:11:45,466
A human being...
598
01:11:45,718 --> 01:11:51,263
...does many things in his life.
He discovers things, builds things
599
01:11:51,850 --> 01:11:58,147
Houses, bikes, bridges, streets,
rockets
600
01:11:59,380 --> 01:12:02,151
Where does that knowledge and
energy come from?
601
01:12:04,612 --> 01:12:09,878
Once he was no better than a monkey.
Before that, an insect...
602
01:12:10,147 --> 01:12:15,173
...and a fish. Earlier, plankton
and earlier still an amoeba
603
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,835
Even those life forms had great energy
604
01:12:20,420 --> 01:12:23,362
It all depends on genes
605
01:12:24,132 --> 01:12:28,797
Were there genes in the water
and the atmosphere?
606
01:12:29,021 --> 01:12:30,848
Even in space dust?
607
01:12:31,537 --> 01:12:35,555
If they had genes, I wonder
what memory they had...
608
01:12:36,153 --> 01:12:39,564
...at the beginning of the
universe and even further back?
609
01:12:39,856 --> 01:12:46,010
What’s the matter with you? Did you
hit your head back there?
610
01:12:46,321 --> 01:12:49,615
Maybe everyone has a memory
like that
611
01:12:49,882 --> 01:12:53,189
If something went wrong
in the evolutionary order...
612
01:12:53,441 --> 01:12:57,889
...and an amoeba had the power
of a human being...
613
01:12:59,434 --> 01:13:00,912
You mean Akira?
614
01:13:02,103 --> 01:13:07,901
An amoeba doesn’t build bridges.
It only eats what’s around it
615
01:13:08,157 --> 01:13:12,410
You mean it’ll absorb Tetsuo?
It has the energy to do that?
616
01:13:13,050 --> 01:13:19,411
Long ago, men tried to harness
that power for our government
617
01:13:20,210 --> 01:13:24,429
They failed and so
Tokyo was destroyed
618
01:13:25,571 --> 01:13:29,947
We can’t harness that power yet
619
01:13:31,436 --> 01:13:32,436
What’s that?
620
01:13:33,302 --> 01:13:34,446
There’s a key
621
01:13:44,770 --> 01:13:48,988
- I’m sure it’s a trap
- Go back then
622
01:13:49,239 --> 01:13:52,575
I must find out what kind of trap it is
623
01:13:55,826 --> 01:14:01,096
- What are your relations with Ryu?
- Why do you ask?
624
01:14:01,396 --> 01:14:05,102
- You’re always together
- We’ve no relationship
625
01:14:05,330 --> 01:14:08,818
Does he know about us?
626
01:14:10,071 --> 01:14:13,615
’Us’? Just a minute.
What do you mean?
627
01:14:14,576 --> 01:14:16,034
Will it be okay?
628
01:14:16,244 --> 01:14:22,499
We have to use her, like it or not.
There’s no other way
629
01:14:22,667 --> 01:14:29,131
She appeared just when we needed
someone
630
01:14:44,731 --> 01:14:47,645
We’re in East Ginza. Over
631
01:14:48,985 --> 01:14:50,969
Calling headquarters
632
01:14:55,177 --> 01:14:58,160
We’ve arrived at the bar
633
01:14:59,078 --> 01:15:02,137
No trace of explosives
634
01:15:02,404 --> 01:15:06,027
It must have been the work...
635
01:15:06,294 --> 01:15:08,986
...of the escaped patient
636
01:15:20,692 --> 01:15:23,080
So Tetsuo killed Yamagata?
637
01:15:23,511 --> 01:15:28,841
The moment I saw him I knew something
was wrong
638
01:15:29,100 --> 01:15:32,088
It was as if he were someone else
639
01:15:32,306 --> 01:15:36,484
Yamagata asked him if he were
really Tetsuo
640
01:15:37,522 --> 01:15:41,347
And then he killed him
641
01:15:44,768 --> 01:15:46,733
We’ve been together...
642
01:15:47,001 --> 01:15:50,002
...since we were in the orphanage
643
01:15:50,963 --> 01:15:57,241
I know everything about him.
How he was bullied and cried
644
01:15:58,888 --> 01:16:02,116
He asked where your bike was
645
01:16:03,413 --> 01:16:04,880
My bike?
646
01:16:13,517 --> 01:16:15,134
What now?
647
01:16:15,914 --> 01:16:18,130
I’ll give him this
648
01:16:23,037 --> 01:16:24,109
You fool!
649
01:16:47,728 --> 01:16:48,713
What’s up?
650
01:16:53,192 --> 01:16:55,452
I saw you that night
651
01:16:59,698 --> 01:17:00,887
Wait
652
01:17:12,419 --> 01:17:14,295
They’ve vanished
653
01:17:15,214 --> 01:17:18,086
So you changed Tetsuo
654
01:17:18,801 --> 01:17:23,369
The power of Akira
exists in everyone
655
01:17:23,622 --> 01:17:24,832
Who’s that?
656
01:17:26,100 --> 01:17:32,092
But when someone awakes to that power,
even if he isn’t ready...
657
01:17:32,773 --> 01:17:37,527
...he must choose how to use it
658
01:17:38,571 --> 01:17:41,098
Tetsuo made his choice
659
01:17:42,884 --> 01:17:46,729
He’s a new member of our group
660
01:17:48,061 --> 01:17:52,114
What he’s doing is partly
our responsibility
661
01:17:52,609 --> 01:17:55,117
But why take Kay away?
662
01:17:55,652 --> 01:17:58,214
We need her help
663
01:17:58,813 --> 01:18:01,593
Cut it out. Give her back
664
01:18:01,844 --> 01:18:05,597
Tetsuo is my friend.
Let me take care of him
665
01:18:12,707 --> 01:18:16,639
The soldiers rebelled and arrested
the councillors?
666
01:18:17,151 --> 01:18:23,140
Yes. We’re preparing our escape.
Send us a helicopter
667
01:18:27,236 --> 01:18:31,118
That damn Colonel. How dare he
turn against us?
668
01:18:33,084 --> 01:18:34,960
I underestimated him
669
01:18:39,631 --> 01:18:40,838
Stop them
670
01:19:12,121 --> 01:19:13,951
Mr Nezu
671
01:19:14,707 --> 01:19:16,943
Is that you, Ryu?
672
01:19:17,501 --> 01:19:21,578
I’m sorry. We failed
673
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,286
What do you want?
674
01:19:24,550 --> 01:19:26,761
You mustn’t come here
675
01:19:27,372 --> 01:19:29,763
My friends are all dead
676
01:19:32,217 --> 01:19:34,519
You bloody fool. You traitor
677
01:19:39,458 --> 01:19:40,482
Kay
678
01:19:47,698 --> 01:19:52,847
I’m carrying fresh fish. I must
get to the airport
679
01:19:55,888 --> 01:19:58,374
7th Avenue is just ahead
680
01:19:58,606 --> 01:20:00,667
The intersection is 100 metres away
681
01:20:04,449 --> 01:20:06,245
Ready for combat
682
01:20:15,246 --> 01:20:18,144
We’ve sighted the test subject
683
01:20:18,379 --> 01:20:20,228
Attack him?
684
01:20:21,190 --> 01:20:24,108
You mean attack that kid?
685
01:20:28,681 --> 01:20:29,823
What, that boy?
686
01:20:30,631 --> 01:20:31,658
Really?
687
01:20:43,949 --> 01:20:45,326
Take aim
688
01:20:48,717 --> 01:20:49,841
Fire
689
01:21:05,943 --> 01:21:07,561
It’s Akira descending
690
01:21:08,571 --> 01:21:11,440
Don’t be conned, it’s not Akira
691
01:21:11,699 --> 01:21:12,907
Shut up
692
01:21:13,801 --> 01:21:16,743
Hurray for Akira!
693
01:21:16,980 --> 01:21:18,079
Fire
694
01:21:20,624 --> 01:21:21,790
What’s wrong?
695
01:22:49,380 --> 01:22:53,424
Neo Tokyo Radio brings you
this independent report
696
01:22:53,666 --> 01:22:57,129
What has been happening...
697
01:22:57,378 --> 01:22:59,001
...in Neo Tokyo?
698
01:22:59,241 --> 01:23:03,142
This fire seems to have been
caused by bombardment
699
01:23:03,363 --> 01:23:05,132
Who is this boy?
700
01:23:05,396 --> 01:23:08,090
Is he a lone fighter?
701
01:23:08,732 --> 01:23:11,818
We’re being fired on by the military
702
01:23:12,069 --> 01:23:15,856
Freedom of information...
We’re being cut off
703
01:23:17,227 --> 01:23:18,908
What’s happened?
704
01:23:19,927 --> 01:23:22,363
It’s the bridge. Let’s go
705
01:23:41,581 --> 01:23:43,391
Are you going alone?
706
01:23:44,643 --> 01:23:46,602
He wants this bike
707
01:23:47,875 --> 01:23:50,063
Shouldn’t we call the others?
708
01:23:52,010 --> 01:23:54,181
I can’t keep him waiting
709
01:23:56,499 --> 01:23:58,179
Kaneda, wait
710
01:24:05,247 --> 01:24:07,999
Half of them are demonstrators
711
01:24:08,230 --> 01:24:11,502
The others are religious fanatics...
712
01:24:11,734 --> 01:24:14,489
...following the test subject
713
01:24:19,219 --> 01:24:23,347
Oh, fire of purification
714
01:24:23,599 --> 01:24:29,020
Burn this corrupt city
715
01:24:29,271 --> 01:24:33,941
With your sacred flames,
consume our impure hearts
716
01:24:34,193 --> 01:24:36,031
Fear not
717
01:24:36,236 --> 01:24:39,696
Let the fire cleanse our bodies
718
01:24:40,532 --> 01:24:41,656
Aim
719
01:24:43,928 --> 01:24:44,952
Fire
720
01:24:50,751 --> 01:24:54,544
Stop a moment and centre your beam
721
01:24:54,739 --> 01:24:56,498
Aim. Fire
722
01:25:03,087 --> 01:25:04,250
Look
723
01:25:22,258 --> 01:25:23,407
Help
724
01:25:31,865 --> 01:25:34,078
Ground troops, come in
725
01:25:34,484 --> 01:25:36,954
Report on the test subject
726
01:25:40,083 --> 01:25:41,336
Call up the doctor
727
01:25:41,575 --> 01:25:45,198
We’ve confirmed his position
and we’re in pursuit
728
01:25:45,463 --> 01:25:50,843
His coordinates are 99871
729
01:25:51,094 --> 01:25:56,726
Two kilometres south
of the Olympic Stadium
730
01:26:03,314 --> 01:26:04,859
What’s that?
731
01:26:05,271 --> 01:26:06,277
Look
732
01:26:06,943 --> 01:26:11,023
It’s near the motorway tollgate
manned by the 2nd Platoon
733
01:26:17,109 --> 01:26:22,157
Halt. This area is off limits
to unauthorized persons
734
01:26:23,877 --> 01:26:26,381
Stop. Stop, I say
735
01:27:33,395 --> 01:27:36,790
So this is the place, is it?
736
01:27:42,399 --> 01:27:45,043
You were with Kaneda
737
01:27:45,271 --> 01:27:49,094
You shouldn’t use your power
738
01:27:49,831 --> 01:27:50,749
What?
739
01:27:51,099 --> 01:27:55,587
Eventually, you won’t be able
to control it
740
01:27:55,853 --> 01:27:58,639
You’re one of those brats!
741
01:28:17,444 --> 01:28:18,534
Okay
742
01:28:53,278 --> 01:28:54,439
It’s dangerous
743
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,032
What are you going to do?
744
01:31:05,501 --> 01:31:06,572
Open up
745
01:31:17,722 --> 01:31:19,795
What are those?
746
01:31:20,016 --> 01:31:22,377
That’s Akira, Tetsuo
747
01:31:23,097 --> 01:31:25,932
The Akira you wanted to see
748
01:31:26,147 --> 01:31:28,435
Your Saviour
749
01:31:28,672 --> 01:31:31,742
After waking from
a transcendental past...
750
01:31:31,964 --> 01:31:35,685
...Akira’s body was subjected to
many experiments
751
01:31:36,574 --> 01:31:40,186
That’s the result of our studies
752
01:31:49,545 --> 01:31:51,324
Scientists in the past...
753
01:31:51,547 --> 01:31:56,087
...couldn’t solve its mystery
so they put Akira samples...
754
01:31:56,344 --> 01:32:01,040
...into cold-storage
for future generations
755
01:32:03,726 --> 01:32:05,545
We must use SOL
756
01:32:09,787 --> 01:32:14,010
Akira is already dead. Are you
satisfied, Tetsuo?
757
01:32:19,714 --> 01:32:21,314
Let’s go home
758
01:32:21,972 --> 01:32:23,052
Shut up
759
01:32:24,664 --> 01:32:30,418
Tell the Defence Centre to connect us
to the satellite weapon SOL
760
01:32:49,272 --> 01:32:52,871
Move along. Out of my way
761
01:33:09,519 --> 01:33:12,451
This is some chemistry lesson!
762
01:33:29,394 --> 01:33:32,132
What is it? Trouble again?
763
01:33:33,554 --> 01:33:38,132
It’s all over now. You should have come
sooner
764
01:33:38,684 --> 01:33:43,936
I was worried. I thought you were crying
and asking for help
765
01:33:44,742 --> 01:33:49,939
Kaneda, you’ve always got in my way.
Ever since I was a kid...
766
01:33:50,185 --> 01:33:53,893
...you’ve been telling me
what to do
767
01:33:54,127 --> 01:33:55,959
Treating me like a kid
768
01:33:56,212 --> 01:33:58,943
You always acted the big boss
769
01:33:59,213 --> 01:34:02,949
You’ve become a boss too -
on this rubbish tip
770
01:34:04,794 --> 01:34:06,867
Mister Kaneda to you
771
01:34:07,724 --> 01:34:08,879
Die
772
01:35:02,528 --> 01:35:03,554
Oh, no
773
01:35:16,234 --> 01:35:17,602
Take this
774
01:35:20,838 --> 01:35:22,334
I hit him
775
01:35:27,963 --> 01:35:30,273
The battery is dead
776
01:35:31,224 --> 01:35:32,836
Something wrong?
777
01:35:35,061 --> 01:35:38,336
No dirty tricks. Let’s fight with
our fists
778
01:35:40,984 --> 01:35:42,879
This is great
779
01:35:45,113 --> 01:35:50,596
Frustrated, Kaneda? I know
just how you feel
780
01:35:57,292 --> 01:35:59,062
What’s this light?
781
01:36:10,002 --> 01:36:11,035
A direct hit?
782
01:36:11,293 --> 01:36:14,036
I can’t say. The monitor failed
783
01:36:14,267 --> 01:36:15,493
Let’s try again
784
01:37:59,734 --> 01:38:02,519
- Correcting error
- Energy change
785
01:38:06,204 --> 01:38:07,991
What’s going on?
786
01:38:23,938 --> 01:38:25,947
- Climb on
- Where?
787
01:38:26,232 --> 01:38:27,288
Hurry
788
01:39:05,771 --> 01:39:07,753
It’s SOL
789
01:39:18,451 --> 01:39:19,618
Wonderful
790
01:39:29,737 --> 01:39:34,021
When Tetsuo’s power
reaches its peak...
791
01:39:34,300 --> 01:39:38,756
That’s the time to do it!
But will it work?
792
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:44,390
The future isn’t heading
in one particular direction
793
01:39:44,630 --> 01:39:47,543
We should be able to choose
794
01:39:57,740 --> 01:39:58,843
How’s Tetsuo?
795
01:40:00,409 --> 01:40:04,360
We’ve set up a camera
at the stadium
796
01:40:05,331 --> 01:40:07,082
He’s under surveillance
797
01:40:08,626 --> 01:40:13,088
Look at this. Data from the test subject
798
01:40:13,297 --> 01:40:19,066
We’re analysing the generated energy.
It’s incredible
799
01:40:19,323 --> 01:40:25,581
Protons have been destroyed and
unknown molecules detected
800
01:40:25,851 --> 01:40:29,163
Once we understand the theory...
801
01:40:29,397 --> 01:40:34,210
...we may uncover the truth
about the universe
802
01:40:37,738 --> 01:40:40,341
Well, we haven’t finished yet
803
01:40:40,575 --> 01:40:41,764
Colonel
804
01:40:48,199 --> 01:40:49,895
Is this Tetsuo?
805
01:40:52,754 --> 01:40:54,860
Didn’t I tell you...?
806
01:40:55,112 --> 01:40:59,406
But he’s too good a test subject to kill
807
01:40:59,666 --> 01:41:00,994
Shut up
808
01:41:24,785 --> 01:41:27,013
Damn. Overload
809
01:41:27,246 --> 01:41:28,371
The battery
810
01:41:28,606 --> 01:41:31,483
My bike. It’s burning
811
01:41:31,748 --> 01:41:37,213
- What’s a bike or two?
- Why don’t you use your own?
812
01:41:37,704 --> 01:41:40,208
Did you hear me?
813
01:41:40,885 --> 01:41:42,619
It’s still burning
814
01:42:24,136 --> 01:42:25,165
Tetsuo
815
01:42:37,553 --> 01:42:41,423
Why do they call you Akira?
816
01:42:42,394 --> 01:42:48,201
The guy didn’t even exist.
It could have been anyone...
817
01:42:50,733 --> 01:42:52,934
...who destroyed this city
818
01:42:54,458 --> 01:42:55,750
Your arm!
819
01:42:56,777 --> 01:43:00,367
It doesn’t look good but it works well
820
01:43:03,509 --> 01:43:05,694
What’s the matter?
821
01:43:08,222 --> 01:43:09,202
Nothing
822
01:43:11,203 --> 01:43:13,248
Shut up. Go away
823
01:43:20,846 --> 01:43:22,336
My medicine
824
01:43:22,570 --> 01:43:25,803
What’s the matter? You’re in pain?
825
01:43:26,263 --> 01:43:29,221
Fetch my medicine from the lab
826
01:43:29,935 --> 01:43:31,515
Doctor, you hear me?
827
01:43:33,476 --> 01:43:35,190
Can you see?
828
01:43:35,770 --> 01:43:37,476
It seems...
829
01:43:38,322 --> 01:43:42,445
...the power suppressed by the drugs
is being released
830
01:43:42,682 --> 01:43:48,526
He can’t control it. It’s an extremely
dangerous situation
831
01:43:49,889 --> 01:43:54,706
Go back to the lab for treatment
or you’ll die
832
01:43:57,229 --> 01:44:01,079
Back to the kindergarten
to live happily ever after?
833
01:44:01,358 --> 01:44:06,341
Being fed on drugs and withering up
like those brats?
834
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:19,740
Fetch my drugs
835
01:45:54,997 --> 01:45:56,798
What are you doing here?
836
01:46:03,230 --> 01:46:04,981
Won’t you ever learn?
837
01:46:27,905 --> 01:46:28,963
Akira
838
01:46:42,964 --> 01:46:45,872
Kaneda, help me. Please
839
01:47:17,038 --> 01:47:18,102
Stop
840
01:47:40,098 --> 01:47:41,091
Tetsuo
841
01:47:43,854 --> 01:47:45,522
Kaori is going to die
842
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:52,907
I can’t control my power.
I can’t stop it
843
01:47:56,747 --> 01:48:00,828
She’s going to die. Kaneda, help her
844
01:48:01,085 --> 01:48:05,038
Stop it, Tetsuo. Stop it
845
01:48:05,442 --> 01:48:09,320
Kaori’s pain is coming into me
846
01:48:15,886 --> 01:48:17,095
Run for it
847
01:48:43,997 --> 01:48:47,750
Kiyoko, Takashi, Masaru, run
848
01:48:52,222 --> 01:48:53,239
Come on
849
01:49:00,066 --> 01:49:02,823
I can’t believe it. It’s...
850
01:49:55,455 --> 01:49:56,538
Akira
851
01:50:08,668 --> 01:50:10,219
It can’t be!
852
01:50:20,197 --> 01:50:21,758
Where am I?
853
01:50:22,866 --> 01:50:26,410
Go into the tunnel. It’s safe in there
854
01:50:26,620 --> 01:50:29,151
Kiyoko, where are you?
855
01:50:47,974 --> 01:50:48,953
Wait
856
01:50:51,173 --> 01:50:52,542
Go away
857
01:50:52,812 --> 01:50:54,247
Out of my way
858
01:50:55,440 --> 01:50:56,754
Don’t go there
859
01:51:03,990 --> 01:51:06,008
Stop. Takashi!
860
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:09,432
If you go in, you won’t come out
861
01:51:11,456 --> 01:51:13,524
But it’s not his problem
862
01:51:30,379 --> 01:51:36,743
If we go in, we won’t be able
to come out by ourselves
863
01:51:37,507 --> 01:51:41,693
But if the three of us are together...
864
01:51:41,937 --> 01:51:44,725
Maybe we can save him
865
01:51:54,332 --> 01:51:56,692
It’s dangerous
866
01:51:56,885 --> 01:51:59,695
We’d better leave this place
867
01:52:34,247 --> 01:52:37,566
Tetsuo, show a bit more courage
868
01:52:37,817 --> 01:52:41,565
Risk your life on the corners.
Watch me
869
01:52:41,796 --> 01:52:43,572
What are you doing?
870
01:52:43,798 --> 01:52:44,899
Cornering
871
01:52:46,593 --> 01:52:48,363
See, Tetsuo?
872
01:52:54,726 --> 01:52:57,408
Look, a new boy
873
01:52:57,645 --> 01:52:59,012
Transferred?
874
01:52:59,272 --> 01:53:01,598
No, abandoned
875
01:53:04,777 --> 01:53:06,403
He looks unhappy
876
01:53:06,571 --> 01:53:09,886
Is this your dream, Tetsuo?
877
01:53:11,305 --> 01:53:12,352
Wait
878
01:54:29,976 --> 01:54:32,364
I’m Akira
879
01:54:33,059 --> 01:54:38,766
Yes. We asked him to take Tetsuo away
880
01:54:39,024 --> 01:54:42,098
Take him away? Where to?
881
01:54:42,404 --> 01:54:47,640
It was too much for Tetsuo.
And too much for us and Akira too
882
01:54:47,922 --> 01:54:51,838
The power is too big for us
to control at present
883
01:54:52,051 --> 01:54:55,758
But some day we’ll manage it
884
01:54:56,055 --> 01:54:58,826
It’s already begun
885
01:54:59,100 --> 01:55:01,309
Your friend...
886
01:55:01,807 --> 01:55:03,339
My friend?
887
01:55:04,382 --> 01:55:07,175
Kay? You mean Kay?
888
01:55:32,908 --> 01:55:34,008
Tetsuo
889
01:55:39,223 --> 01:55:40,715
Is this yours?
890
01:55:46,797 --> 01:55:50,634
They always bully new boys.
It’s your first day?
891
01:55:50,971 --> 01:55:55,516
They bullied me too but
they’re cowards really
892
01:55:56,184 --> 01:56:00,276
My name is Tetsuo. Tetsuo Shima
893
01:56:02,323 --> 01:56:06,750
To tell you the truth, I’m new too.
My name is...
894
01:56:40,308 --> 01:56:42,320
What’s happening?
895
01:56:48,709 --> 01:56:52,537
Unbelievable. It’s like...
896
01:57:08,175 --> 01:57:13,498
It’s like the birth of the universe.
It’s vanishing
897
01:58:50,948 --> 01:58:51,948
Tetsuo
898
01:58:58,505 --> 01:58:59,589
Thanks
899
01:59:01,041 --> 01:59:04,794
You called me. I heard you
900
01:59:11,424 --> 01:59:13,516
Kaneda, you must be dead
901
01:59:14,554 --> 01:59:16,474
Tetsuo?
902
01:59:17,349 --> 01:59:22,509
Gone. And those three kids.
And Akira, too
903
01:59:23,311 --> 01:59:25,296
A little while ago...
904
01:59:29,779 --> 01:59:31,769
You’re alive
905
01:59:32,445 --> 01:59:37,352
I thought you were dead in that thing
906
01:59:39,705 --> 01:59:43,833
What happened to Tetsuo?
Is he dead?
907
01:59:44,094 --> 01:59:46,742
I don’t know. Maybe
908
02:00:13,358 --> 02:00:16,959
But someday, we’ll manage it
909
02:00:17,210 --> 02:00:20,587
It’s already begun
910
02:00:38,356 --> 02:00:42,234
My name is Tetsuo
