Mom!
Run for it!
Call the police!
Attack!
We've failed.
We've failed...
Who's fault is it?
Take responsibility.
OK' my friend?
Don't!
Stay back!
You'll get hurt!
"The 169th Friend Concert"
Love' Rock' Friend!
You and I together.
Hand in hand.
Holding hands.
Love' Rock' Friend!
You and I together.
Hand in hand.
Holding hands.
Love' Rock' Friend!
This is not Rock...
Hold hands' my friends.
Let go!
Thank you.
Friend's the best!
Ouch.
Please don't...
Give it to me.
Your savior Friend has
killed my old friend!
And he burned down my convenience store yesterday!
People all over the world are dying from a virus...
He's responsible for that!
Long time no see' Kenji.
Friend! Friend!
Stop your games! Take that off!
Let me introduce to you the greatest prophet and terrorist...
Kenji.
Kenji! Kenji!
I'm not a terrorist!
Be quite!
Who are you?
Otcho?
Sadakiyo?
I really enjoyed your doomsday scenario.
It's been my dream to realize your story.
Murderer.
You murdered people...
You killed Donkey.
I'll stop you.
How's Kanna?
You can't shoot Kanna's father' can you?
What are you doing? Let go!
Don't hurt him. His part isn't over yet.
My part? What kind of ajoke is this?
What do you want?
Hey! Let go!
Operations are postponed indefinitely at Haneda after the attack 2 days ago.
The terrorism threat has put the country in a state of emergency.
All domestic and international airports will be shut down...
The Osaka and Haneda projects have been carried out.
Our party members have increased by millions.
Now we have an election to win. Right?
Damn it...
"The Book of Prophecies"
I found it.
I buried it here...
Kenji' sorry about your shop.
Where is my guitar?
The one I gave you before.
Where is it?
Give me my guitar back!
Only you can do it.
Save the world.
"The Book of Prophecies"
At the end of this Century'
the Evil Organization commenced its plan to take over the world.
They first targeted San Francisco and London
with their deadly virus weapons.
As the next target for the virus attack
they chose Osaka' the city that hosted the famous Expo '70.
The whole nation froze in terror.
Their next target was Haneda Airport.
The horrified citizens of Tokyo had nowhere to escape.
But that was only the beginning.
There was a smoke signal of further destruction...
December 31' 2000 finally arrived.
With horrifying' earth-shattering footsteps'
the shadow of terror had arrived in Tokyo.
It was an atomic powered robot!
It stomped over Tokyo' spitting out a deadly virus.
Will we survive to see the 21st Century?
Tokyo and the whole world faced doom!
9 heroes emerged to stop the evil.
Would they have a chance against the villains?
Sorry... I'm really sorry.
Only you can do it.
Save the world.
Who did this' Yoshitsune?
Was it Yanbo and Mabo?
Stop!
If you don't destroy it' you'll get a figure-four leglock.
Or ajumping knee kick!
Keroyon sneaked off.
Let me help you.
The Terrible Twins!
I'll kill those fatsos!
What are you doing here all by yourself' Kenji?
You might think you're being brave'
but you're just stupid.
A man's got to do...
What a man's got to do against all odds!
They blamed him for everything that happened.
He was framed and had to go underground.
Is this about the most wanted terrorist in history?
I learned about him in history class.
The truth can't be found in history books nor newspapers.
This is the truth.
Kenji Endo' the terrorist bomber could be hiding anywhere.
Don't be nervous. Take off your clothes and lie down.
You're Professor Shikishima's daughter?
I know you...!
"WANTED"
It wasn't you that Friend was after...
He used you to get to your father.
Because he's an expert in robotic engineering.
Theyjust used you.
Maybe you're right.
Friend said'
"Doomsday will come in December 2000."
"It will rise from the ground... "
What's that?
Its howl thunders across the city. Uuuugh!
What's this thing?
You'd better get your friends now. The game is going to start soon.
Kenji' come play with us!
Get my Friends...
Another dumb Japanese guy needs rescuing...
The mafia's got him in their warehouse by the river.
They're bad' I'll pay you handsomely for this.
Take care of it.
Where are you going?
What's going on?
Hey' you!
Who are you?
Stop or I'll shoot!
Hand it over.
- Wait - You're lucky you're still alive.
My credit card...
You' pedophile scum!
I don't care if you die.
Fujiyama Travel.
It's me' I got the Japanese guy out.
Thanks' Shogun.
Anytime.
Hold on' I've never asked you your real name but
is it Choji Ochiai by any chance?
If not' forget it.
There's someone who wants to reach a man named Ochiai' or Otcho.
Who is he?
He says he's your good friend.
"Oriko Office Equipments"
"We'll get our symbol back. "
I wonder how you can make time to check your mail?
I wouldn't' with lousy sales figures like yours.
"Friendship Democracy Party leader Inshu Manjome"
Go to school.
It's a day off.
Hold on...
"We'll get our symbol back. "
This is him' the super badass terrorist' Kenji Endo.
He's responsible for the Jonan Medical University bombing.
He is also wanted for raiding the F.D.P. headquarters.
Kenji Endo' a terrorist leader.
Kenji' a criminal!
"We're waiting for your tips 24/7."
Say' YES' everyone.
YES to you' YES to me.
YES' F.D.P.
How does present day Japan look to you?
Kenji?
Hey' long time' Otcho.
How did you find me?
Your wife... I mean' your ex-wife said
she gets flowers from Bangkok on the anniversary...
of your son's death.
You've been through a lot.
Wanna work at Papaya Heaven?
This isn't exactly the future we dreamed of.
No' but...
there might be one thing that turns out like we imagined.
In December 2000' mankind will perish.
Mom' I found him.
Choji Ochiai?
Mrs. Endo' how are you?
You've all grown up! It's been so long.
Uncle Kenji.
Uncle Kenji' you're home.
Who are you?
I'm Otcho.
Who's he?
My best friend.
Stop!
Otcho!
Friend is serious.
I don't know about this.
A gigantic robot...?
Can they really build this?
And this passage.
Are we the 9 heroes?
9 heroes...
Kenji.
Yoshitsune and Maruo!
Hello' Choji.
Ouch!
Don't exaggerate! Hey' Otcho.
Mon-chan.
Fukube!
Guten Tag.
You all came for this!
Keroyon didn't make it.
You know' his restaurant's going really well...
There are only 6 of us...
Make that 7.
Yukiji.
Did you leave me out because I'm a girl?
No...
Otcho.
How did you know about this place?
You left the directions to the rendezvous point at home.
That was awfully careless' Maruo.
Sorry.
I was a member of the secret base too.
And I was the toughest. I threw Otcho too' right?
I don't remember...
Me neither.
Right?
Aw!
Yes' that's right.
That was then.
It's OK' Kenji. She's one of us.
Two more to go.
Who else knows about the Book of Prophecies?
I've been thinking...
about contacting two others.
Not them...
Mr. Minamoto?
"Takeshi Minamoto"
Mr. Minamoto...?
My friends used to call me Yoshitsune when we were kids.
Yoshitsune!
I didn't recognize you. You've changed.
You two have changed quite a lot too...
Maybe because we lost a little weight?
Just a little.
- Does it hurt? - I give up.
I give up!
Tell Kenji that he's an old friend of ours.
That he's not alone.
We'd better report this.
Yes' just in case.
Call Mr. Manjome.
2 garlic ramen noodles.
Al dente' extra onions' a few pickles and
an extra piece of BBQ pork!
The usual' right' little missy?
Here're your orders.
Oooh' this is good.
Remember Woodstock?
It was just a rock concert but
400'000 people came and were unstoppable.
If you put all you've got into it' a song can change the world.
Nobody gave us any money again.
That's just how it goes.
Kanna... I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Please try to understand' Kanna.
It's dangerous to be in Tokyo.
Mom' look after her for me.
Kanna's all I have left.
except for my crazy son.
It's time to go.
Uncle Kenji.
See you soon.
I didn't send you the message...
because I wanted you to be Kanna's guardian.
Now I'm your guardian.
I have to protect you for Kanna.
Tokalevs' Berrettas' Smith & Wessons...
All bought in Shinjuku at premier prices.
Meine Gute!
They're real!
Is it really necessary?
This isn't child play.
Reality demands that we're armed.
Right. I don't want to even look at these but...
Dyno-might!
No' dynamite.
Friend has a plan for the last day of the 20th Century.
We'll stop him before that.
I don't know if I'll be able to pull the trigger...
They're not exactly BB guns...
I'm afraid you have to learn.
We'll use arms to abduct Friend or Manjome' that's our only chance.
Listen.
Leave now if you want to.
You look like you want to leave.
Break it up!
It's a police raid! Somebody must have informed on us.
Run for it! Quick!
Live from Kenji's hideout.
The police are still looking for clues.
Their involvement in the Medical University bombing and...
It's possible that they are disguised to elude detection...
That's cool.
Good going.
Finish your dinner.
Hand in hand' F.D.P. for you.
YES' F.D.P.
They're great.
As the F.D.P. led in July's nationwide election'
it's now the majority party of the Lower House.
Way to go' F.D.P.
They're cool.
Finish your food!
Mr. Manjome hasn't gone public'
but judging from the positive response to his party overseas...
Now the news' Kenji's terrorist group are being investigated.
The police have announced their findings in November's raid.
Arms confiscated include' crates of TNT explosives' 22 automatic rifles'
30 automatic handguns'
50 hand grenades' 5000 bullets and...
Bullshit!
Oh' you're back.
They want to make us out to be horrible criminals.
Neither Friend nor Manjome showed up at the Party congregation.
It's so cold.
Here' pork dumplings.
It's hot.
Aw' it's hot.
Still studying those sketches?
I just can't remember what this is...
Hello?
No sign of Friend going in or out of the Headquarters.
Otcho' want a ride?
"A smoke signal of destruction... "
Oh' no.
I remember now!
"It was the beginning. "
"The countdown to the end of the world. "
The terrorist attack on the Diet Building resulted in 32 deaths
with 91 injured.
Only F.D.P. members escaped injury as they were out of the building.
We've come to this page now.
It's today.
"9 heroes emerged to stop the evil. "
"Would they have a chance against the villains?"
How will we fight them?
I don't know.
But there's nobody else to do it.
That was nice.
Yeah' the song's kind of weird but I liked it.
Thank you.
Are you finished?
It's time you two went home too.
Yeah' but I have this feeling of dread.
Why?
I wonder how long we can go on like this.
It's almost the 21st Century...
But it's reassuring seeing you do this at your age.
The time will come that you'll have things to do.
Happy New Year.
Happy... New Year.
Uncle Kenji.
Kanna! Why are you here?
I came here by myself by train.
By yourself?
Everybody is here now.
Kenji.
It's time to play.
Let's pick up some girls in kimono!
There's no one.
Oh' but kimonos are really difficult to put on...
You haven't even taken one off yet!
Right' I should be positive.
Onto the new century!
Is that rain?
What the...?
We are interrupting the regular program for a newsflash.
At 8 pm. An unidentified large object appeared in the Jimbo-cho area
and it's on the move now.
Newest reports coming in on the devastation on the Tube.
An unknown virus is causing the deaths.
Panic struck Paris at noon as many citizens
fell bleeding on the pavements.
Many fell unconscious in the Square'
but there hasn't been an official report.
I'm Jessie Mayfield reporting form Times Square.
The Square has turned into hell on Earth.
I can't even begin to count the numbers of bodies strewn around me.
Now I'm being covered by some sort of mist...
Steve?
That's awesome!
Oh' my God! We have to evacuate.
It's coming!
No heroics' OK?
If you know you're screwed' run for your life.
I beg you...
Don't waste your lives.
Kenji.
You too.
I don't plan to die today.
Somebody told me this once.
Rock singers die at the age of 27.
Like Brain Jones' Janis Joplin'
Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix...
I figured I'd die at 27 too.
But I turned 28 and I was still alive.
I felt disappointed.
I thought' "Hey' I'm not a rocker. ".
But there are many great guys playing Rock in their old age.
I used to think that dying young is great.
I don't any more.
Do you know who told you that?
I did.
Back then' 27 seemed so far off...
Kanna.
I have to go now.
A man's got to do what a man's got to do.
But I'm coming back.
So don't cry.
I'll sing your songs while I'm waiting.
I know all your songs' Uncle Kenji.
In my dreams'
you don't die.
Take care of Kanna.
Let's go' guys.
We have ajob to do.
One thing before we go...
What does this symbol mean' Otcho?
It's the page-turning symbol from "Sunday".
The pointing finger.
And' remember what you used to call me then?
You called me Bug-eyed Otcho.
Is that all?
That's what it was!
Alright.
Just like we dreamed back then...
We've got to save the world.
Identify yourself! Stop your destruction.
Ready to open fire!
The robot just passed the Self Defense Force Camp.
It's headed for Shinjuku.
Find out who's controlling it.
We'll check here.
Check the roof!
We're looking now.
Yukiji's trying to get into the F.D.P. Headquarters.
Damn' it's locked.
Open it! Come out and open it!
There's nobody here.
Open it!
Otcho' I found him!
Give me that thing.
Fukube' watch out!
Who are you? Stop the robot.
Take off that mask!
Fukube!
Fukube fell off the building with a man who had a controller.
But the robot is...
still moving.
Fukube... Damn!
OK' let's rock.
What's this thing?
It's a big balloon' that's all!
Just wait' I'm going to stop you!
Be careful!
Good' son of a gun!
Kenji's climbed up the robot.
Kenji.
You! Stop this thing!
"Kenji"
Damn! I'm going to blow you up.
3 minutes to detonation.
This will finish it off.
It's not moving...
Play with me.
Kenji.
Play with me.
Kenji.
Come out! You sneaky bastard.
I'm not hiding.
I'm in front of you.
What is that?
I'm here.
I'm right here.
You'd better run' or your time bomb will go off.
Take off your mask.
You can't see what's going on with that thing on!
You're hiding behind that mask!
Take it off and face the horrible things you've committed!
That symbol is ours!
You don't deserve to use it.
You're always lots of fun'
Kenji.
You are...
Kenji' come in. Who is he?
It's almost 3 minutes. What's he doing?
Let me go!
Stay here!
Kenji.
It's midnight.
Kenji.
It's the 21st Century.
Uncle Kenji.
Kenji.
He never gave up hope.
I won't either.
I won't give up.
Because...
We still have hope.
"F.D.P."
Our hope...
It's Kanna!
You're violating the law by removing that poster.
Stop!
As evening shadows fall' there's the smell of curry in the alley.
How much more do I have to walk before I get back home?
Thinking about the croquettes I used to love at the local deli.
Will they still taste the same? When I finally make it home.
It's nightfall now. All over the globe.
I'm in a hurry headed back home.
Some say the Devil laughs if you talk about the future.
Let him laugh as much as he wants because I don't really care.
I'll talk about the future about 5 or 10 years from now.
I'll still be with you even 50 years from now.
It's nightfall now. All over the globe.
I'm in a hurry headed back home.
Through the pouring rain.
Even in a thunderstorm.
Even if it started to rain in spears.
Let's go home. Nobody will stop us.
Nobody has the right to stop us at all.
It's nightfall now. All over the globe.
I'm in a hurry headed back home.
It's nightfall now. All across the world.
Everyone in the world hurries back home.
I wish those little things that you do everyday.
Last day after day' forever and ever.
Don't tell me you're...
I'm...
Shogun.
< 20th Century Boys > Chapter 2
The New Book of Prophecies?
There's more.
Who wrote it?
Not Kenji. Someone else.
She's the chosen one.
God's Child.
Who are you?
Yamane is calling me.
Stop them or the world will end in 2015.
Friend will become God
and Mankind will perish...
I know what this means.
You...!
I remember you!
