It's a fun place.
I'll at least save that place.
The Expo venue.
By noon August 20th,
get everyone to go there.
How?
We'll host a festival... a music festival.
If that's the case, let's ask Haru.
Good idea.
But isn't he on Friend's side?
He'll understand.
Everyone, give it your all.
This is the Ice Queen.
We will halt the attack on August 20th.
Instead, please come to the Expo
for a festival, a music festival.
To listen to that mystery song
and to protect yourself from the virus attack,
join us at the festival.
I repeat.
Come to the Expo.
We will host a music festival.
To listen to that mystery song...
Finished packing the vaccine.
Well, Kiriko, we'll be going now.
Thank you for your help.
Hey, what's this!
This flag will bring bad luck.
It's not bad luck.
It was originally our symbol.
Let's take back our symbol.
Today is the day.
Will people show up?
Thanks to Mr. Haru, we easily rented the venue.
The stage is ready.
But I'm not sure if everyone knows about this.
Now it's up to Kenji's power to inspire.
Kanna,
Oh my gosh... Look! Look!
Starting time is at noon
and already...
Kanna, the radio DJ guy wants to help.
Hey, hey, everybody!
The song I played on the radio, it's Kenji's song?
On top of that, he's coming here. Really?
According to our plan.
He'll come.
I know Uncle Kenji will.
It's noon.
Thank you.
Today, Tokyo. Tomorrow, Japan.
Finally, the world.
And what about us?
Only those who believe in me will be saved.
Yes.
Lift off!
Yay! Everyone having fun?
Let's get started.
Forget about the doomsday,
it's the greatest festival of the century!
Up first is...
The star of enka, Namio Haru!
Hello-hello, everybody
All over the world
Hello-hello, everybody
Every lady and every gentleman
It's 2015, you've got hello-hello
Dance, it's a celebration
Hello-hello, everybody
Every lady and every gentleman
Everyone, everyone
Dance, everything living form a circle
Dance, anything alive form a circle
We're too late, there's a line.
Everyone form a line.
Vaccine over here.
I'm the neighborhood assoc. head,
Save my son first, hurry!
Calm down.
- Save him. - You'll all be fine.
Hurry!
Friend is not God.
Stop protecting Friend.
Back off.
We'll shoot, Genji Faction.
Here we go!
Wait, don't shoot.
Who are you?
We will protect Friend until the end.
You heard Friend's message.
Just lower your weapons.
Chief Secretary Takasu, orders please.
It's okay now.
I know it was tough.
It's okay.
Chief Secretary.
Deep down you all thought this was a childish joke.
Yukiji.
We have control of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor.
5th through 99th floors are nonresistant.
Underground, nonresistant.
Where's Yoshitsune?
Where is he?
Everything is going according to plan.
Give me your gun.
I don't want any more victims.
Please.
Are you saying
everything we did with Friend was a mistake?
You heard the announcement, right?
I'm...
becoming one with the universe.
With the universe.
Everyone, don't shoot.
Where's Yoshitsune?
Want me to tell you?
Everyone is a coward.
No one is going to help me.
Then I have to make it head for Shinjuku again.
Take it out!
Take it out, Otcho!
Take it out! Otcho!
Aim for it!
Otcho, focus!
- Otcho! - There it is!
I don't want to see any more people die.
Shota wanted to play with you.
That's it. Hold there.
Lock, lock!
Dad!
You killed him!
I love you, Dad!
I see it.
Caught it.
Shoot, shoot.
Yes!
Good.
- You did it. - Shoot the other one.
Shit, I can't see the other one.
Number 13?
I'm becoming one with the universe.
What's he doing?
I'm not Number 13.
I'm Masao Tamura!
This is what it means...
to be one with the universe.
Now, what you've been waiting for Namio Haru Show Part 3!
A dream collaboration with
Eloim Essaims!
Enough of Namio Haru!
Yeah!
Bring out that singer!
Yeah!
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
Ero, ero, ero, we're Eloim Essaims
Robot...
It's so much faster than the old one.
Where's it headed?
This is like a recreation of our town.
Jijibaba's shop...
San Fran...
My house!
Looks like I need to climb it.
Just stop for a second!
Hey!
You!
Headed for Shinjuku again?
Must switch to manual control.
It's speeding up!
How can I stop it?
Hey!
You can beat a big guy if you get him off balance.
Let go!
No!
That's right, it's about balance.
Not that way!
Yes! It's going to fall.
Lift up your leg!
Damn it! Don't stop!
Don't stop!
Must do something about the neutron bomb.
You!
It was you after all.
I was just trying to stop the robot.
I knew it was too late, but...
I had to stop his recklessness.
Who?
It's my responsibility to stop him.
Back then, we were friends.
Who are you?
I'm Yoshitsune.
I wore a mask like you
and I was beaten up.
But now I know how you feel.
Who are you?
You said you know how I feel.
I was drugged,
then I was wearing this.
We're the ones who created Friend.
No, Otcho.
Yoshitsune isn't Friend.
Kenji.
Kenji,
let's play!
It's our good old town.
Our secret base.
And at the end, I let you be the good guy.
But it's okay that I'm the bad guy.
But I began to hate you.
So I started hating everyone.
Someone starts hating another...
If you think about it,
it's easy to destroy all mankind.
That's what I found out.
All I wanted was to play with you.
I've always wanted to play.
You promised.
You promised...
That's why...
It's okay I'm the bad guy.
You saved me back then.
So save me again now!
Will the hero not save the bad guy?
It's me.
I'm Friend.
Fukube!
The true identity of Friend...
It's me.
Fukube!
Fukube died on Bloody New Year's Eve.
Forget it.
Just stop.
Stop pretending to be Fukube.
Pretend?
It's true, right?
It's the end of play time.
I'm sorry.
Stop it.
It was my fault.
Stop apologizing!
Everything will be over!
I'm sorry.
Stop it!
Kenji, does this make me a hero now?
It won't end yet, right?
No, it's over.
But... still...
It's the end.
Kenji, you know who he is?
I don't know,
I don't know but I...
Let's start Namio Haru Show Part 4!
We've had enough of Haru.
We're here for Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la.
That song helped us overcome the tough days.
Let's leave, everyone.
Let's go, let's go.
Everyone!
I'm...
the Ice Queen.
The singer who sings that song exists.
I believed that he'd come here and sing.
You tricked us.
He isn't here.
Does he really exist?
Yeah!
We can't wait any longer!
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't mean to trick you.
He's...
Hey!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Yeah!
Ladies and gentlemen.
The man of the hour is here!
Ow.
Ouch.
I'm a bit rusty.
I'm...
not the kind of man...
everyone thinks I am.
Friend is dead.
Mankind will not perish.

I told you I'd come back.
Oh, wow.
It still works.
But I didn't want to come back, ever.
You're really going?
There's something that needs to be settled.
Um, I'll say it again but
it's really dangerous.
But I can't run away.
Why? What happened?
Yoshitsune said...
We're the ones that might have created Friend.
What he said is close to the truth.
But we're not the ones who created him.
I did.
What do you mean?
And we were wrong.
Fukube isn't Friend.
At the reunion, everyone called him Fukube.
He didn't deny it either. But he isn't Fukube.
During 5th grade, Fukube died.
Here we go!
Go for it.
Switch on.
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.
Okay, that's it.
You died today!
Is that mean guy lkegami and the one next to him Fukube?
They're picking on the weak.
You should take off that silly mask.
Kenji,
you don't have the right to say that.
You have something to take care of.
What?
If you don't do it now, you'll regret it forever.
Excuse me.
I brought the winning ticket.
I'll leave it here.
Excuse me.
That's right, you can do it.
It was me. I took the badge.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Is our world needed?
Not needed?
Am I needed?
Not needed?
Needed?
Is our world needed?
Am I...
not needed?
It's Rock.
It's T-Rex.
But at the end, nothing changed.
Kenji, did you hear that song?
Heard it? I'm the one who played it.
I didn't have any plans for life after tomorrow.
Will you be my friend?
Sure. So take off that funny mask.
Huh?
Hey.
Take off your mask.
Then go back up there.
I'm sorry.
After being suspected of shoplifting,
everyone ignored you and said
"you're dead, you're dead."
Look, the dead person is here.
Let's go, Fukube.
"Die" "Shoplifter" "Execution"
The one that was buddies with lkegami
and suddenly died was...
"To Fukube in heaven"
Fukube.
You're the one who loves science and is still alive...
But you couldn't come to school anymore.
"Absent, Absent, Absent..."
Eventually, everyone thought you were really dead.
I'm really sorry,
Katsumata.
The science loving Katsumata.
Died the day before we dissected carp.
Remember Katsumata?
"Tadanobu Katsumata"
The one who died when we were kids?
"My Dream"
He loved science experiments.
"Tadanobu Katsumata"
But he died the night before we dissected carp.
His ghost appeared every night in the science lab.
Hey.
I actually wrote a song.
I think it's good, but I don't have lyrics.
Goo...
How about "Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la"?
Hey, that's good. You're a genius.
Let's form a band and make it big.
Like Lennon and McCartney.
Goo ta-la-la, Soo da-la-la
That day Rock took over the junior high school,
I made my first friend.
