Year 1969
Kenji and his friends wrote a story.
An evil organization taking over the world.
A giant robot.
Standing up for justice.
The next time we dig this up will be when we protect the world.
Everything was just supposed to be kids' imaginations.
28 years later, Kenji is a convenience store manager
raising his niece Kanna and leading an ordinary life.
But one day it all changes.
The bombing of Haneda Airport.
The destruction of the National Diet Building.
And the mass murders all over the world.
Everything Kenji wrote in "The Book of Prophecy" came true.
"Unknown Virus"
"Bleeding to Death..."
The mastermind behind the catastrophes is a man only known as "Friend".
Is he a childhood friend who knows about "The Book"?
I really enjoyed your doomsday scenario.
It's been my dream to realize your story.
World domination.
In order to stop Friend, Kenji and his friends stood up.
"2000, Bloody New Year's Eve"
Just like we dreamed back then...
We've got to save the world.
Just as Friend planned
a giant deadly virus-spitting robot.
Kenji goes inside to stop its path. But...
3 minutes to detonation.
Kenji...
You're...
Kenji!
There goes Friend.
"Now, 2015 A.D."
See how brave Friend is.
As long as Friend is here, he will protect world peace.
15 years after Bloody New Year's Eve,
It is a new world ruled by Friend.
A world created from Kenji's "The Book of Prophecy."
But there was a sequel.
"The New Book of Prophecy."
The teenager Kanna and former allies
quietly continued to fight.
2015, a savior will rise to uphold justice
but will be assassinated.
To find out the true identity of Friend,
Kanna stands up.
No, it's dangerous.
Uncle Kenji never ran away.
Something is there.
Maybe Friend's secret.
Kanna enters Friend Land,
a facility that brainwashes all,
and witnesses a world like no other.
There was Kenji's childhood world.
Who are you?
And the secret behind Kanna's birth is revealed.
You're the lovely baby I made with Kiriko.
It can't be true.
It'd be fun if the future really turned out like that.
"The New Book of Prophecy" was being followed according to plan.
Somebody please stop them. The world will end.
You're... It's you...
2015,
a savior will rise to uphold justice
but will be assassinated.
"But..."
When a man dies and comes back, people see him as God.
That was just the beginning of another "end".
Friend became God of the world.
Ba-ha-hye.
And just as written in "The New Book of Prophecy,"
he once again led mankind to destruction.
A badge is missing...
Did you finish your homework?
Mostly.
Wow, I've only done the math worksheets.
But, you know, Yamane is weird.
Something about the science magazine, but who cares.
Maybe he'll be an evil scientist that makes Garo in the future.
What's Garo, Keroyon?
Maruo, you don't know?
- You! I caught you! - Let me go!
Konchi, who is that?
Maybe it's Sadakiyo?
What's that on your shirt?
You weren't there so I just left the winning ticket...
What's going on Otcho?
Hey, Kenji.
Looks like a shoplifter.
It's the Global Defense Forces badge.
I'm taking back the badge.
You're a criminal!
Criminals are executed.
Ikegami is mean.
Let's go.
Executed people are invisible, so we can't see you.
You died today!
You should take off that silly mask.
No!
"The New Book of Prophecy"
In 2015, at a church in Shinjuku, a savior will rise to uphold justice
but will be assassinated.
Expo forever!
For the progress and harmony of mankind.
Rrrring, the phone rings
signaling that all is prepared.
The satanic salesmen will destroy the world.
Friend Era, Year 3, on August 20th,
aliens will attack Earth and
the world will end.
Most of mankind will die.
With his friends,
the World President
will live happily ever after.
< 20th Century Boys > -Chapter 3-
We must protect world peace alongside Friend...
Friend Era, Year 3 (2017)
Remember Bloody New Year's Eve...
The giant virus-spitting robot...
We overcame the crisis alongside Friend...
You can do it, manga artist.
Shogun, I can't go any further!
If we make it over this wall, it's Tokyo.
I can't do it!
You want to go back and write manga, right?
We did it! It's Tokyo! It's been 2 years!
What is this?
It looks like Tokyo when we were kids!
Illegal trespassing! Trespassing!
What should we do?
Go, manga artist. I'll take care of them.
What?
This is good bye.
What? But Shogun...
You have to find your friends, right?
Don't worry about me. Go.
Shogun...
Thanks for your help.
You were really brave.
Don't die.
Live and write good manga.
I'm...
going to write about you.
About a real hero.
Katsuo, watch it!
The Global Defense Forces might catch us.
The curfew hasn't been lifted yet.
I wonder if Raijinsan won. I wanted to watch it.
You cried and said you wanted to watch TV.
We took it to be repaired and now it's this late.
Sis, while the TV programs are still on...
Over there! Go!
Don't let him escape!
It's okay now.
Thanks, you saved me.
"Isono"
Where are your parents?
They were taken by the Global Defense Forces.
My parents said there's something fishy about Friend.
You came from the other side of the wall, right?
Right after the virus spread, I was banned from Tokyo.
Eventually a high wall went up around Tokyo
and it took me 2 years to get back.
What was it like on the other side?
Everyday there were fights over the vaccine.
And many people are dying.
Is Friend a good guy or a bad guy?
What do you think, Sanae?
What he's doing right now is like a childish deception.
That's why I think
I'm going to join the secret group that saves the political rebels.
They're called the Genji Faction.
Like Genji of Yoshitsune Minamoto?
I think so.
Yoshitsune...
But there isn't much time left.
The world is going to end soon.
Every day, Friend says so on TV.
Sis, I want to show it to him, so can I turn on the TV?
Okay.
They always have it at the end of the program.
... Raijinsan defended his title.
Yes!
Please join us again tomorrow. Goodnight.
It's up next.
"Voice of Friend"
The people of Tokyo, at noon on August 20th,
an alien invasion and an unknown virus will end mankind.
Believe in me and you will be saved.
What is this!
Katsuo, turn off the TV.
Late night TV is against the law.
You get arrested if you're caught.
Wait, sis. We might be able to hear it.
No, turn it off!
It's the Ice Queen's message.
The Ice Queen?
The anti-Friend group that's even more radical than the Genji Faction.
They jack the air waves and
call out to the citizens to revolt with arms.
Listen!
Arm yourselves and rise.
Revolt with arms, people of Tokyo.
The alien invasion is a lie made up by Friend.
August 20th, rise with arms.
Katsuo, turn it off!
August 20th is his birthday.
Hey mister, will you listen to this?
I'm in a hurry headed back home
Have you heard this song before?
Yeah, a long time ago.
Who sings it?
We can hear it sometimes from the radio, which doesn't exist.
It's a secret craze in Tokyo right now.
It's so like him.
He wasn't a hit musician,
- but after he died, he became popular. - Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
What's wrong, mister?
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
All provisions and funds impartially belong to all mankind and Friend.
Luxurious living is a terrorist act.
We're here.
That church over there is the one you're looking for, Otcho.
Guts Bowl...
You're going in here?
It doesn't look like they're in business.
Hey sis, what's bowling?
How would I know?
You want to try bowling?
It's fun.
Kamisama.
I had a dream that you would come here.
So, you were safe.
Yeah.
I bought this place with the money I earned with stocks.
I had a dream that a second bowling craze would come.
The lot where our secret childhood base was
turned into a bowling alley one day.
"Bowling alley to be constructed. No trespassing"
It was the same name as this place: Guts Bowl.
My first golden years.
Is the Ice Queen...
Kanna?
The rumor about the armed riot?
I can't believe that Kanna would agitate citizens
and throw away people's lives.
Kanna has changed.
What happened to her?
Where is her hideout?
We asked Yoshitsune to convince her to stop.
So she wouldn't do anything reckless.
No. Yoshitsune and Kanna can't meet.
What do you mean?
At that moment, I remembered...
2 years ago, when I tried killing Friend...
The masked kid who got caught for shoplifting.
Yoshitsune...
might be Friend.
"Director, Yukiji Setoguchi"
Yoshitsune...
With Kanna?
It's even hard for me to get in touch with her now.
Please. We haven't spoken since our difference in opinions.
Are you trying to stop the armed riot?
She may not stop, even if I ask.
You're right. But we have to stop her.
But instead, we'll stand up.
What?
I want you to gather the Genji Faction.
That day, we'll attack the Friend Party.
Friend took over the world.
Now there's nothing left to do except to end mankind.
Friend is
a monster born from our trivial childhood imagination.
It's our responsibility to destroy him.
Forget it. What will be will be.
What's wrong, Yoshitsune?
I'm tired. I've lead the Genji Faction so far
but I'm not the leading type.
You can't give up now.
You're lucky you're strong.
Don't say that.
I can't do it.
I don't understand...
about myself or Friend.
About Friend?
I think when people accept the gap between how you wanted to be
and the reality of what you are,
that's when you become an adult.
But for Friend
the gap between his ideals and reality was too big.
Probably an unacceptably large gap.
Have you ever walked around with a mask on?
I have.
I wanted to show everyone the badge I won and I had a mask on.
But...
I was mistaken for someone else.
I said "you have the wrong person",
but it was useless.
I understood...
If it was a masked kid,
me, Sadakiyo, or anyone else could be bullied.
Yoshitsune...
You don't understand.
Neither does Kenji nor Otcho.
You don't understand how Friend feels.
Take me to see Kanna.
Here's your order.
You're still not very social.
Oh! It's here, I made it.
Oh, so sorry to keep you waiting.
Ms. Ichihara.
I finally did it!
You found her?
It's her, right?
It's Kiriko, for sure.
Right now, she's with a community in Higashimurayama.
So close by...
Mr. Haru, what's your relationship with Kenji Endo?
That.
That's Kenji...
And that's you?
Because of that, I was saved.
At an early stage, Mr. Haru knew Friend was evil.
I was on drums and Billy here played bass.
You?
Oh, I have to go.
I have my hands full with clients looking for lost family members.
Bye!
Oh, sorry.
I'm going to head out too.
To Higashimurayama where Kiriko is.
Sorry, Billy. For quitting the band for enka.
We were a great band.
When he comes back, let's give it another try.
"Frogdoom"
This is...
Ow!
Ribbit, ribbit! Give up?
Ribbit, ribbit...
Wow!
Stop! Stop it! I don't have any guns with me.
I'm Maruo!
That hurts! Damn Frogdoom!
I'm dead. I'm dead...
Maruo...
Why you and Kiriko?
Don't rush.
Since you're here, try my soba noodles.
Here you go!
It's good!
You've improved so much.
People will line up for this.
I went to America and opened a noodle shop to improve.
But it's too late.
So you met Kiriko in the U.S.
I'm scum.
I turned my back on you and Kenji.
On Bloody New Year's Eve,
you guys were fighting but I was...
just having a good time with girls at a bar.
Keroyon,
the world won't end.
Fight with us.
Want to go see Kiriko?
Kiriko, I brought Maruo.
You two shouldn't take off your safety suits.
If this fails, you could die.
I thoroughly researched Dr. Yamane's new evolved virus
down to the gene level.
Is that...
Mist with the latest virus.
This one isn't airborne but mankind has no immunity.
If you don't inject the vaccine, you will certainly die.
What are you doing Kiriko!
It's okay. I already injected the new vaccine.
So, human testing?
But if you do that...
Friend thinks I won't be able to develop a vaccine.
Now is the time.
But...
It has to be now.
If I die, Friend wins...
If I live, mankind wins!
Incubation period is 12 hours.
Want to keep me company?
Kiriko, I promise I'll protect this girl.
Even if mankind perishes, I'll protect her.
You're so dependable.
Well, I have to go now.
Work?
Club activity.
A club?
The time for destruction and regeneration is upon us.
In 2000, mankind will perish. But...
Those of you who stay with me will be saved.
Friend!
Friend! Friend! Friend!
Please look after Kanna for me!
Who's the father, sis?
I have to protect her no matter what.
The virus that killed 150,000 people on Bloody New Year's Eve...
That was something we developed.
"I am..."
"I am Godzilla I stomped on 150,000 lives."
Being tormented by guilt,
I took the 2015 virus data from Dr. Yamane
and went to the U.S. to get away from Friend.
And at a pharmaceutical plant in Michigan,
I succeeded in developing a vaccine.
But Friend got in the way...
What are you doing, Kiriko!
The person who saved me was Keroyon,
who was in the U.S. for his soba training.
Kiriko!
I told you, the side effects are strong.
Anyway, this is everything I know.
Something I can't make up for even with my life.
Is Kanna your and Friend's daughter?
Yes.
Is he our childhood friend?
That's what he said. But I don't remember him.
What's Friend's real name?
He said Masato lkegami,
but who knows if it's true...
That guy, who was the MC at the reunion.
Kiriko!
Maruo...
Yes.
How's Kanna?
Good, almost too energetic.
I see...
If something happens to me,
tell Kanna to do her best to find happiness.
Kiriko!
Open the blinds.
Okay.
It's morning!
12 hours passed.
Mankind won.
Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
Where is the Ice Queen?
Who are you?
Tell the Ice Queen, Otcho is here.
Otcho? Don't lie. Shoot!
Wait!
Just like a real terrorist group.
I never imagined you'd do something like this.
I didn't think you were alive, Uncle Otcho.
Why don't you value your life more?
I can't stand it anymore.
You should know,
after the 2015 resurrection charade,
a third of mankind around the world
died from the virus spread by Friend.
Including people I cared about...
The vaccine I received.
If someone wants it, you can have it.
I won't inject this.
What's this...
mountain of vaccines?
We hit a pharmaceutical delivery truck.
There's lots of it.
They're limiting distribution on purpose.
Let's all inject it.
You're going to fight Friend, right?
You have to live.
Kanna,
did you inject the vaccine?
Live...
for them.
But they took the vaccine too.
We had a discussion...
You have good instincts...
But we found a way to trick you.
The vaccines they took
were fake.
This morning, they...
attacked the Friend Party but...
Kanna
You are our...
daughter...
People who lost their family,
friends and loved ones...
They came to me.
Destroying Friend is their reason for living.
But Friend treated them like trash.
I can't stand it anymore.
I can't believe I'm the only one that survived...
People I loved kept dying.
Because of me...
Now, it's my turn.
Risking many innocent people's lives
is not what your loved ones would want.
Stop your plan. Right now, if you are the leader.
A man once said, if you think you're in danger then run.
That man...
should still be alive in you.
Uncle Kenji died.
No, he may still be alive.
Stop it! I don't want to hear lies.
Hey, does anyone have a radio?
But nothing is playing on the radio.
I found one, but I don't know if it works.
Give it to me.
Please Kenji, don't give up on Kanna.
He died. Forget it!
Please Kenji,
sing!
Kenji!
All over the globe
Everyone in the world hurries back home
I hope those little things that you do everyday
... sing, Kenji.
Last day after day, forever and ever
That... sing that part.
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
This phrase, I've never heard it before.
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la...
Uncle Kenji is alive.
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
Yeah! Everyone listening to the radio!
Did you hear that song!
Send in postcards and call in!
Hey, someone send in a request!
More importantly...
Is anyone out there, Hokkaido!
Oh, sorry. Hey stop!
Officer, what is that?
It's the barrier gate.
Barrier?
It's the entry way to the east.
After the virus spread back in 2015,
Friend built a wall surrounding Tokyo.
He pursued an isolation policy.
This town is filled with people who couldn't make it inside.
Thanks for the explanation.
Hey, where's your entry permit?
Permit?
No one can pass without an entry permit.
In the past 2 years, only one person passed. The other thousand...
They were killed?
Yes.
That's not good. Definitely not good.
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?
The croquettes I used to love at the local deli
Will they still taste the same?
It's nightfall now all over the globe
I'm in a hurry headed back home
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
This song...
Are you Kanna's uncle?
No, that can't be.
Tell me, officer.
You said one person broke the barrier.
How did he do it?
What's your pen name?
I'm Ujiki.
I'm Kaneko.
We're Ujiko Ujio.
This is great, Ujiko Ujio!
A tale of a man saving the world.
Thank you!
So, you guys made forged permits?
So it's about that.
We were asked to make one, but we quit.
One person made it, but that doesn't mean the next one will.
If someone dies, it's our fault.
What are you doing?
Hey, stop going through our trash.
A partially finished permit.
That means there are more. Make one for everyone.
Don't do it, it won't work.
He's right.
You'll be shot.
I can't stand watching people dying anymore.
If you go, I'll arrest you.
I'm going.
He's gonna die!
Name?
Joe Yabuki.
Joe Yabuki, approval please.
Joe Yabuki, let him through.
Open the gate!
He passed!
What?
Really?
- OK, let's go Ujiki. - Okay.
Hey, guys...
Everyone calm down!
Stop, I'm going too!
We smoothly passed the barrier.
30km until Tokyo.
What's that?
It's called the fort, but it's the office that manages the barrier.
I'm going to go check it out.
No, wait...
As you commanded, we let the man enter
and scattered security.
Is that alright?
It's okay.
It's alright.
It's okay.
I'm impressed you came this far.
You're Kenji Endo, aren't you?
You let me pass on purpose.
It's been a while.
The first time we met was Narita Airport, right?
They're on their way now.
It's me, Manjome.
Well, at the end,
want to hear about how at one point I was at the top
then dismissed by Friend, ended up at this barrier?
The year after the Expo, I was doing street sales.
I met him in your town.
It's just a magic trick. Let's go, Friend.
Hey, do you have a rope?
A rope?
One that won't choke me even if I hang myself.
If I get one, I can become God.
"Manjome Enterprise"
It's been a while, Mr. Manjome.
10 years later, he showed up.
Club activity? What's that?
Mr. Pierre's way will not work.
Even if 100 people are inspired...
"Cult Leader Assassinated" "Pierre Ichimonji"
10,000 will not be inspired.
What are you trying to say?
A miracle has to be more entertaining.
How about this?
We can all become superman.
I thought it would be fun, so I went along.
But don't try to be perfect.
Because if you are perfect, you become the universe.
Who's going to seriously listen to someone in a silly mask.
That's the sign, let's do it.
Friend is...
floating!
How stupid, like a countryside magic show.
Wow, he's floating.
Wait, you just reeled him up.
It's a miracle.
My address in overseas.
Friend needed Dr. Kiriko.
I'll wait for you.
That's why any man interested in her was in his way.
Hello, Dan Moroboshi died in a train accident.
Kiriko Endo is yours.
Kiriko is your sister, right?
But I never thought he'd go this far.
He abducted Professor Shikishima and built a robot.
Then New Year's Eve 2000,
You survived the great explosion because the cockpit was a bomb shelter.
We made sure your time bomb didn't go off.
A troublesome prank.
Created chaos for the police and Defense Forces
and spread the virus to create panic.
2015, at Shinjuku,
he made Yamane assassinate his substitute
and became a tragic leader.
His grand funeral,
with the whole world watching this time he came back to life.
Next, he made his prophecy come true by spreading a deadlier virus.
It killed off 2 billion people.
Then, World President.
He finds it unpleasant that I know everything.
That's why I'm here.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
It just has to stop.
Friend has nothing left to do.
Next time he'll really destroy the world.
I'll give you a chance.
If you kill Friend, I'll let you live.
Gettin' old!
It doesn't sound realistic at all.
What?
"He built a robot." "He spread the virus."
You want to make everything his fault.
Besides the first murder, you think you're not involved?
Admit the fact that you're the partner of the worst man in history.
You just want to escape from the truth.
Running for alcohol won't work.
You're just like me a while ago.
You're right, I'm Kenji!
New Year's Eve 2000...
no, at midnight...
the moment it became the 21 st century...
I barely survived from the sea of flames.
I lost my memory,
didn't even know I was Kenji Endo.
I was afraid of something.
Scared to death, I kept running.
Shibuya and Shinjuku are already in ruins.
Everyone please avoid populated areas.
To keep the virus from spreading further,
please avoid leaving your homes.
The New Year's Eve virus attack by the terrorist Kenji Endo...
But in 2015, I heard the news
that people around the world died from a virus.
... a vaccine has not been found and
the death rate is 100%.
Friend is currently developing a vaccine.
We hope he will once again save mankind.
My memory came back.
I could remember everything so clearly.
Everything...
I ran away. To the far north... far north...
When I hit the end, I couldn't go any further.
Since I couldn't escape,
I went into the mountains for 3 days and 3 nights.
I cried and cried, 3 days and 3 nights.
Taste good?
What's your name?
Kenji... Endo...
That moment I decided.
I won't run away.
I won't look away from the truth.
Then...
Yeah! If you liked CCR, send in requests!
To our Pekanbe Rock 'n' Roll Studio with a kickin antenna
right in the middle of Hokkaido farmland!
Stay tuned!
"Pekanbe Rock 'n' Roll Studio"
I'm not here for revenge.
I'm here to save mankind.
Do not lose anymore loved ones!
Don't die like that, it's cheap.
It's tough being a villain.
It's so much easier being a hero.
You're alive!
Glad you're okay.
Hey, did Kanna grow up to be a good kid?
What?
Yes. So you are Kenji.
Why do you want to go back to Tokyo?
There's something I have to do in Tokyo.
Then I'm going for a visit.
Who are you seeing?
Kanna.
Wait, Kenji!
Aliens might come on August 20th.
Where can we go to escape?
A horrifying prophecy.
August 20th, mankind will perish.
What's the unknown virus?
Only those who believe in me,
and are with me will be saved.
The August 20th attack
will be put off.
I'm sorry everyone.
Don't be sorry.
You're our leader.
Yeah, the leader says it's on hold, so we'll wait.
Everyone...
It's an intruder! Intruder!
Kanna, it's the Global Defense Forces.
Kanna, let's fight. Let's go!
Listen, Ice Queen Faction.
If you don't resist, we will not attack
as long as you accept our terms.
Terms?
The Ice Queen must surrender.
Then the others will be freed.
We can't let them take Kanna!
Wait!
Everyone leave through the escape route.
I'll buy some time.
Onward, men!
You're...
Otcho!
Secured the Ice Queen and Otcho the terrorist.
All the other terrorists inside,
leave none alive!
That's what I thought.
I have massive explosives here.
If you try something funny, you'll all die too.
Luxurious living is a terrorist act.
Take him underground.
I'll be fine.
Release the handcuffs.
Yes, sir!
Chief Secretary Takasu.
Long time, no see, Ms. Endo.
If you had worked hard,
you wouldn't have ended up like this.
See you later, ba-ha-hye!
Really?
Kanna got caught?
According to the Ice Queen Faction members that escaped,
Kanna voluntarily surrendered along with "Uncle Otcho".
Otcho...
He was alive.
We have to save them.
I know.
You go that way.
I'll go this way.
If you go as I told you,
you'll end up in the underground parking of Friend Tower.
There, he should be waiting.
Can we trust him?
It'll be okay.
Where are you going?
To the core of the tower to shut down electricity.
Wait for the blackout, then get out.
Don't worry about me.
Where are you taking him?
Secretary of Technology.
I want to use him for an experiment so hand him over.
But he is a dangerous terrorist.
Just do as I say!
Yanbo Mabo...
I missed you, Kanna.
Your favorite.
Go ahead and eat.
How many people did you interrogate to find this out?
I didn't have to do that to know.
I know everything.
Even that mankind will perish soon.
You should know too.
You're God's child.
Mankind won't perish.
Never!
You doubt my prophecy?
Prophecies are a bunch of lies.
You don't have special powers.
Like to sing from your heart and move people.
That is a greater power.
God's child?
You must be kidding.
Uncle Kenji loved me like a real daughter.
So did Auntie Yukiji, Uncle Otcho, and Uncle Yoshitsune.
How badly I wish I was their daughter.
I...
I'm not God's child.
I'm the daughter of the most horrible person known to man!
Where are you going to spread the virus?
I don't know.
Where can everyone go to escape?
I don't know.
This time, I don't know how powerful this virus is.
Look, there might be some places that are left harmless by chance, like this.
That's enough!
No! Stop it! You know I've always hated violence.
In 2000, you ratted us out.
I'm sorry about that.
We didn't think things would turn out this way.
Even now, you have an important position in the Friend administration.
That's why I'm atoning now.
Yukiji! Help me!
Otcho.
Right now we have to trust the twins.
Yukiji.
What's that?
The improved version of the Bloody New Year's Eve one.
This one actually walks on 2 legs.
And this one?
The robot and disks are a set.
This time, the story is that an alien invasion destroys mankind.
You!
They called you Secretary of Technology, did you make this?
If we didn't, they would've killed us.
Don't blame us.
But first, we need to get out of here.
It's Yoshitsune. He shut down the power.
In 5 minutes it'll switch to the generator.
Now's the time to escape.
I'm going after Kanna.
You two know what to do.
Where is Uncle Otcho?
Where is he?
Kanna, did you go to the Expo?
What?
It's a fun place.
I'll at least save that place.
Forever and ever, even if mankind perishes.
Don't you feel anything?
Slaughtering mankind...
Do you know the story that our genes,
at the very beginning, came from one woman?
When she was here, mankind was an endangered species.
But I think back then everyone was close and happy.
No bullies or being picked on.
Mankind overpopulated.
You're insane!
If I didn't do it, someone else would have.
I'm their representative.
A representative of what?
Of the 20th Century.
The best and worst time period.
Ms. Endo, drop the gun.
Move.
I won't regret killing him.
Go ahead and shoot.
Not going to shoot?
You're correct, the gun isn't loaded.
Let her go. We gave her a gun and she pointed it at me.
Reject her.
She will be the star of August 20th.
Kenji's niece, the worst female terrorist in history
that leads mankind to destruction.
I see.
Then you're free to go Ms. Endo.
Go ahead.
Kanna.
Do you understand?
I'm the true 20th Century boy.
"Shikishima Factory"
Let me introduce him, Professor Shikishima.
Professor, what made you take Friend's side?
To save my abducted daughter.
Eventually I got to do whatever I wanted
and it was fun.
My daughter was killed last year.
It opened my eyes.
In 2000, you killed many people.
What killed them was the virus.
I just provided the means of transportation.
And please forget about that robot.
That year, there was no time
and I could only do a half-assed job.
But this time, it's great.
This new model won't spread the virus.
The flying saucers will do that.
The robot will carry a neutron bomb inside.
The bomb will have an impact 50 times greater than Bloody New Year's Eve.
This bomb can only be set off by Friend's remote control.
This is the plan of the August 20th prophecy.
This time, the 2 disks will spray the virus over Tokyo.
They'll be on auto-pilot and follow a set route.
As Friend prophesized, it's an alien invasion.
First, Tokyo is annihilated.
Then Japan.
Finally, the world will die out.
Then Friend will reign over people worldwide who are in danger of extinction
and live happily ever after.
But we, the heroes, put an end to Friend's ambitions.
Using the high-powered missile launcher secretly developed by the professor,
we will take down the disks.
Target pursuing...
Target pursuing apparatus.
Infrared Sensor.
Infrared camera with high-powered finder and Carl Zeiss Lens.
Even an amateur can't miss with this.
- Really, - Anyone can use it.
How about it Otcho?
You're the one that should do it.
Otcho.
Alright.
I'll do it.
"My dream"
My dream is not a dream.
"Dream"
It will really happen, so it's not a dream.
Next summer break, I'm going to the E... Es...
Espo... going to the Espo.
I have relatives in O... Osaka,
so I'll be able to go to the Espo every day.
Hey, what's an Espo?
Kenji, you don't know.
Progress and harmony of mankind,
the real future is here.
Countries from around the world will come to Japan
and build the city of the future.
The city of the future?
Hey, know about the Espo?
Even Kenji is hooked on my story.
Even that Kenji...
Expo forever!
Hey, tell us more!
The Expo will open next March in Osaka.
Osaka!
I have relatives in Osaka, so next summer
I'm going to the Expo every day.
Wow!
First, we have to go to the U.S. Pavilion.
Right, Friend?
When should we go?
As soon as summer break starts?
I'm not going.
What happened?
Shut up!
When did you start talking to me like that, Sadakiyo?
Also, let me borrow your mask.
What?
I'm supposed to be at the Expo all summer.
But...
what are you gonna do with the mask?
Make myself invisible.
Sadakiyo!
Stop wearing that weird mask.
- Stop! - I'm not Sadakiyo!
Stop it!
There aren't any aliens, stupid.
But I'm not Sadakiyo...
Ow.
I can't breathe.
I'm sick of everything.
I wish the world would end.
All humans should just die.
Hello, everyone around the world.
Does everyone remember?
Bloody New Year's Eve 2000,
then in 2015, Many people died from the virus.
Just like I prophesized.
My prophecies were a lie.
I was behind all of it.
The world never acknowledged my abilities.
I'm needed, but the world is not.
God created the world in 7 days.
That's why I will end it in 7 days.
I will spread the deadly virus worldwide.
Goodbye, everyone.
Friend was trying to destroy the world.
There's no way.
He just said so himself.
There must be a good reason for it.
Have faith in Friend.
I'm glad you're okay.
I saw Friend.
I thought if I killed him everything would end.
That's why I encouraged people to revolt.
I stuck a gun to his head.
But couldn't pull the trigger.
I couldn't shoot, even though he is the devil...
Because he is my father?
Or because I'm the devil's child?
No.
You are not an Ice Queen.
You can't shoot someone.
If you pull the trigger and kill him,
that's the same thing he is doing.
You're our child.
The precious child of Kenji.
If something happened to you,
I won't be able to face Kenji.
I heard Uncle Kenji's song on the radio.
I heard from Otcho.
I thought he was dead.
But, I'm sure he's alive.
Auntie Yukiji, where are you going?
Don't call me Auntie.
We both have things that we must do.
"White Sonata"
Oh!
Found a box of provisions.
It was worth the long trip.
Can't care about expiration dates now.
Who's there?
You're the one who played "Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la" on the radio.
You heard it.
What's going on out there?
Out here, there's fresh air and it's peaceful.
What about the virus?
Many died. But I think it's okay now.
And the enemy?
Enemy? Are you fighting someone?
Yeah, I fought. Tricked by Friend...
I see.
He was my first friend.
I transferred schools in the 7th grade
so I didn't have friends.
Back in Tokyo, I had friends though.
We had the same taste in music.
CCR is short for Creedence Clearwater Revival.
C... C... Cre...
This song you heard, sounds like a song he'd like.
One day a cassette was tossed in the mailbox.
Great song, right?
What's Friend doing now?
By Friend, you mean...
Are you talking about the "Friend" who messed up our world?
My old friend was labeled as a terrorist.
But he still tried saving the world from Friend.
"Let's take back our symbol"
I feel bad for not believing him back then.
Be a man and come out of there.
Come out and think about what you can do.
I'm Number 13.
And you?
I'm Konchi, the DJ.
Haven't used it in 2 years, hope it works.
It works.
Wait.
Take me with you.
Thank you very much.
From this day on,
the dojo will close.
What?
Why, Director?
Silence!
Gendokan is the name I took from my grandfather's dojo.
He was strict.
Losing my parents early on,
he taught me strength for living.
I wanted to pass on his teachings,
the strength to survive this world.
Today, I will pass on the final word of wisdom.
For me, there is another hero besides my grandfather.
He said...
"If you think you are in danger, run for your life.
Please don't die."
I want to tell you all the same thing.
"Yamazaki"
It's been 2 and a half years.
Sho-chan, you came back from your new post?
There's something I need to ask you, Chief Yamazaki.
I'm retired now.
Call me Uncle Yama.
Are you the one that...
killed my grandfather?
As an officer and a person, I couldn't win.
Then I met Friend.
By idolizing him, I tried forgetting about Cho-san.
If you can't overcome the wall...
Reject it, he said.
I'm arresting you.
It's too late.
Noon on the 20th, mankind will perish.
We won't. A savior will rise to save mankind.
That's why I'm arresting you.
I'm glad everyone made it.
It's true that Friend will spread the virus on August 20th.
I thought about what we could do.
Something more important than destroying Friend.
What is it? We'll do anything.
To save the lives of everyone we can.
But how?
There is no vaccine for this virus.
That's why Friend won't spray that place.
Where is that place?
Did you go to the Expo?
