Okay, that's my third kill...
Give me a sonar ping!
On it.
I see you!
You idiot, that was a civilian!
You need to cut that out.
How many civilians have you killed?
They shouldn't just be idling around here.
You're not getting away!
Stop running...
Where'd he go?
Sonar ping him again?
Nah, he's probably hidden already.
Damn it.
You guys're shit.
Watch this.
Wow...
He made that look easy!
Thanks for the win, sucker.
I really am unbeatable.
Woohoo! You kidding me?!
Twenty wins in a row!
That was a piece of cake, eh, Sakamoto?
You're one to talk.
I practically carried the team.
Wow, you have four stars now!
You're ranked tenth in the entire world!
There isn't a Japanese BTOOOM! player who measures up to me.
We'll have to start playing stronger opponents outside Japan, or my rank won't increase.
New challenger!
Looks like someone must've heard you.
Whoa, he's ranked second in the world!
What should we do?
Accept, what else?
Here we go! Let's reach #1!
BTOOOM!
This game's sold over three million copies worldwide.
It doesn't use guns,
only bombs.
You use eight types of bombs, or BIMs, as the situation dictates,
and use sonar to find enemies while remaining out of their sight.
That's how you win this game.
BTOOOM!
Wow, Sakamoto...
We're keeping up with #2!
That's right.
We're going to become #1 in the world.
I'm twenty-two, and I still don't have a job.
I bum around at home all day.
But in the world of BTOOOM!,
My strength is second to none,
my greatness is recognized,
and I am truly peerless.
I even got married.
Only within the game's virtual world, of course.
I was content.
Here, in this wonderful place.
It never dawned on me that I was just using this as an outlet.
Where am I?
My whole body hurts...
Why?
A parachute?
Why?
Crap, I can't get down.
Hello?!
Is anyone there?!
What the hell is this?
Ow...
What is this place?
I don't know.
What am I doing here?
Why can't I remember anything?
Wasn't I... just playing BTOOOM! in my room?
And then...
Blood?
What the hell happened and why can't I remember it?
My phone...
No service?
Damn it.
Wha—
The hell is this?
G-Glass?
Is it embedded in my skin?
I can feel it, but it doesn't hurt or feel wrong.
I haven't been abducted by aliens or anything, have I?
My bag!
My wallet's here.
And a change of clothes...
Was I going to spend the night somewhere?
What's this?
A convenience store bag.
A boxed lunch and...
Perfect!
I should probably get my bearings first.
It's hot!
Seems like I'm pretty far south...
I'd better save this.
That was a big-ass bug...
Is this really a tropical forest?
This isn't good...
Give me a break.
What did I do?
What...
O-Ow...
Where am I?
Where the fuck am I?!
Mom!
You sent my résumé to the grocery store, didn't you?
I won't work there.
I have a job in mind already.
Stay out of my business!
Maybe I'll go to Satoru's.
You, there...
Are you Sakamoto Ryouta?
It's starting to come back to me.
I ran into those men as I was leaving the store.
Forcing myself to remember just makes my head hurt.
Good thing I bought some food.
But what will I do for tomorrow?
I don't recognize this pouch...
It probably isn't mine.
Did someone put it in my bag?
What is this?
Oops, I pressed something...
This doesn't feel right.
You're kiddi—
What?
What the hell was that?
Are all of these bombs?
What are they doing in my bag?
I...
I don't want anything to do with them!
Someone's over there.
Excuse me!
Could you help me?
What?
What's his problem?
This is just like...
...the game!
No way.
No way!
I'm supposed to play BTOOOM! for real now?
I'm supposed to play BTOOOM! for real?
You've gotta be kidding!
I can't do that!
He's seriously trying to kill me.
Quit running around, coward!
You piece of shit!
Did I lose him?
The most important part of BTOOOM! is hiding from the enemy.
You have to stay mobi—
He's here?!
How'd he know where I was?
Do I have to fight him?
But if one of these hits him,
I'll kill him for sure!
Hot!
He's not leaving me much choice.
Why isn't he fighting back?
Is he still against the whole survival shit?
What? It didn't explode?
The last one did!
Oh, right. There's a switch...
Okay.
That was close.
He's got good range.
I'd better back up a bit.
Another dud?
You've gotta be kidding me!
Why would it only explode now?
That moron doesn't even know how to use his bombs?
How do I use these?
Isn't there a manual somewhere?
Damn, where did he go?
Don't move!
Answer me.
Why are you attacking me?
Where are we?
And these bombs,
this glass crystal on my hand...
Have you ever heard of the online game called BTOOOM!?
Wow, you really are a moron!
You don't remember anything?
You don't even know how to use a bomb,
but you think you've cornered me?
Don't make me laugh.
I'm not telling you anything before you die!
Die!
I missed again?
Why is this happening to me?
What did I do?
He's just a normal Japanese guy, right?
I spoke to him.
There's no reason for him to kill me.
I give up.
I surrender!
Please don't kill me...
That was so stupid.
Am I going to die here?
Where did you go?!
I know you aren't dead yet...
Come out, wuss!
No, I don't want to die...
Wh-What's this?
I can feel it.
I can tell he's near me.
Could this be...
...just like the BTOOOM! radar?
Then hiding won't help.
Another miss?
But I'm certain he's holed up nearby.
I'm sure of it...
If he has radar, then hiding is pointless.
But why won't my bombs...
There were numbers!
It's on a timer?
Damn it!
Why didn't I notice earlier?
In BTOOOM!, his are cracker bombs.
They explode upon impact.
Mine runs on a timer.
You press the switch, and it explodes when the timer reaches zero.
So it's just like
Calm down...
Relax.
I'm the ace of the world's #10 team.
I can use timed bombs!
I can't move...
I can't see him.
Damn it!
If this were the game... If this were the game...!
Then this is for real, huh?
Tenth best in the world?
It's just a rank in a game.
Hey, coward!
I know you're hiding in that crack between the rocks!
He doesn't know where I am?
This is my chance.
Hang on.
If he's in those bushes,
couldn't he blow me up from the rear?
Don't figure that out, damn it!
Well, it doesn't matter...
...if I throw bombs at both spots.
I...
Farewell, coward.
...have no choice.
Idiot!
Can you stay underwater forever?
I'll nail you in the head when you surface for air!
7... 6... 5...
4... 3...
He left me with no alternative...
It was either me or him.
This was self-defense.
I didn't do anything wrong.
It's not my fault.
It's not...
His bombs.
So I'm supposed to take them to survive?
This is as murderous as the game.
And...
I have to play it in real life?
Excuse me,
Mr. Iida...
About what we discussed earlier.
About hiring me...
Oh, that.
Would you wait just a little longer?
The company isn't looking to expand its staff at the moment.
Ryouta?
You're playing that game again.
Hey...
Don't open my door without knocking!
I did knock,
but you had those things on.
What, Sakamoto?
You're fighting with your mom again?
Lame...
Don't be such a killjoy.
I'm online now. Leave me alone...
We need to talk.
About your job, or lack thereof.
I spoke with a relative of mine, Uncle Kazu,
to see if he could help out.
You remember Uncle Kazu, right?
He currently runs an udon restaurant.
Leave me alone.
There's a job I already want.
You've been saying that for two years, and you're still unemployed.
It's time to stop dreaming about working for a video game company.
Go out, and find a real job!
Can't I do that later?
I'm thinking about your future here!
Just get out!
A dream?
Oh, right.
This is the real world.
I'm hungry...
Come to think of it, I threw up everything I ate yesterday.
There's a reason I ended up on this island.
There's a reason I can't go back.
This is my punishment.
The punishment for my betrayal.
But I still...
