This work of fiction surrounding the circ- umstances of a massive earthquake
in Tokyo is based on tremendous amounts of research and verification.
Striving for a sense of realism, many simulations
were thought of to create this original story,
however, circumstances may be different to the real thing.
Look at all the smoke.
This...
This isn't a dream, right?
B u r n i n g B r i d g e
Hey, where do you think that lady went?
I don't know...
Don't ask me about every thing that comes to your mind.
Don't worry! We can go home ourselves if we have to.
Okay.
Oh yeah... Maybe the phone will work now.
No Signal Reception.
It doesn't work?
Not a bit.
I hope that mom and dad aren't hurt.
They're okay, right?
Hey, Mirai, do you think mom and dad are...
I don't know! I can't contact them!
I told you not to ask me about every thing!
Well, you two must be hungry, right?
You always get irritated when you're hungry.
Here's some breakfast.
Thank you, miss.
You can call me Mari, Yuuki.
Riceballs!
You should have some too, Mirai.
There are drinks too.
Where'd you get these?
I remembered that convenience stores may give out food in times of crisis, so I went to take a look.
I thought you already went home when I found out you weren't here after I woke up.
So you were lonely while I was gone.
That's not it...
Let's make a promise then.
A promise?
Yeah.
We won't go anywhere by ourselves anymore.
When one of us has to go somewhere, we'll tell the others where we'll be heading.
Yeah!
Why are you doing all this for us?
Well, you have a child waiting at home for you, right?
If we weren't with you, you would have been able to go home quicker.
Well, you have a point...
But our homes are in the same direction, so I just think it's fate.
Let's go as far as we can together.
Okay?
Yeah!
Are you sure? We would just slow you down.
All right, eat this!
You become pessimistic when you're hungry.
Let's gain some energy and do our best!
All right, let's eat up!
Okay!
The sour plum is delicious!
Mine is salmon!
It's really hot, huh?
It's going to be over 30 degrees today.
Maybe even 40.
You sound like an old man.
What? I hear that a lot, but you're being too blunt, Mirai.
S-Stop!
Give up?
Mirai, I'm thirsty.
Here.
Thanks.
It's a good thing you bought one yesterday.
Well, guess I'll check the news.
We'll waste the battery if we watch too long,
so we'll watch it for a bit and then turn it off.
It's on!
We now give you a report of the damage caused by the earthquake on the city.
All transportation facilities are suspended and probably will not be restored soon.
Traffic control has been implemented,
and entry to the interior area
surrounded by the Tamagawa, National Route 246, and the Kanjou No. 7 Line is forbidden.
So far, 843 deaths have been confirmed
with countless people missing and injured. And the numbers are predicted to increase.
So many people have died...
One of the fires still continues to spread.
Those in areas where fires have broken out should evacuate to the shelters immediately.
Many victims are currently walking home.
We will now have Professor Murata Noriaki,
from Kyoto-Osaka University's Disaster Research Institute, explain the current situation.
Due to the near-field earthquake in the capital, the number of people who will face difficulty reaching their homes will be approximately 6.5 million.
How strong and how long do you estimate the aftershocks to continue?
I believe they might continue for three days at magnitude 5.0.
Heading home...
So everyone is walking.
We can't tell when the trains will be moving again.
Hey, Mirai! We should walk too!
We just ate some riceballs, so we have energy.
But our home's in Setagaya, so it's far.
It isn't a distance that we could simply walk.
Are you serious?
Odaiba is isolated?
The bridge burned down, and the roads around here are closed.
We're in serious trouble.
This place is gonna sink.
Don't worry. I'm sure this land won't sink.
But Odaiba's an artificial island, right?
Hey, there's some shade over here!
Papa!
I'm worried. We don't have any food or water.
Don't worry, there are people who live here too.
I'm sure help will come soon.
You're right.
It's good enough that our family's together.
Yeah!
I want to see them...
Mom and dad...
Let's try walking.
You want to go back to your mom and dad as soon as possible, right?
Yeah!
This is the Japan Coast Guard!
We will be operating a sea bus to transport victims.
Those wishing to embark from Odaiba to Hinode Pier,
please gather at the pier near Rainbow Park.
Those wishing to embark towards Chiba...
All right! It looks like we can head to Hinode Pier by boat.
Are you all right?
I shouldn't have worn my sandals.
My feet are all sore now.
Let me see.
Ah, that looks painful!
Hold on.
I have a child, so band-aids are a necessity.
They're frogs, Mirai!
Mirai's a frog alien.
Frog alien?
H-Hey, you don't need to tell her that!
Thank you for letting me use them.
You're welcome!
That's great!
Think you can walk?
Yeah.
I see... Well, I'll give you a piggy back ride if I have to.
A piggy back ride!
Idiot! I'm not a kid!
But you know, just tell me when it gets tough.
I'll really give you a piggy back ride.
I've got confidence in my legs!
I can walk by myself.
Okay, that's the spirit!
Let's go then.
Do your feet hurt?
No need to rush.
Just take it easy.
Are we even going to be able to get on the boat?
There are so many people who want to ride it.
We can't get on?
Anyway, let's just go take a look.
I'm sure it'll work out.
You're so optimistic, Mari.
Oh? Call it positive thinking.
Oh, it looks like they're in trouble.
I'll give you a hand.
Thank you!
Okay! One, two...!
Thank you! You were a great help!
It was nothing.
Okay, you too!
Don't lose sight of your mom.
Good boy.
Thank you very much.
The harbor's really close.
Thanks.
Mari's so kind.
You could say she's nosy too.
Sorry! Sorry!
Didn't you just promise to tell us where you'd be going if you left us?
Oh, right! I'm really sorry.
No, it's okay!
You did something good!
Those heading to Big Sight, go straight!
Those embarking to Hamamatsu, turn left at the upcoming intersection!
Look at all these people!
Everyone who wants to go home has to come this way.
I can't let you get lost.
Yeah.
Let's hold hands, Mirai.
I'll be fine!
I'm not a kid.
Make sure you keep up so you don't get lost then.
Wait...!
Mari...!
Yuuki!
You're in the way! Get moving already!
Yuuki! Mari!
Where are you?
Hey! Don't just stand there!
No!
Mirai!
Mari!
Mirai!
Yuuki!
We should hold hands.
Don't let go of your hands.
Yeah.
Again?
It'll be okay.
It was like an explosion.
I can't believe the highway fell...
What's wrong? Are you okay?
This is bad! We can't use the bridge!
We'll have to go by boat.
Let's go!
Are you hurt?
No.
Think you can move?
Yeah.
Let's go!
This ship will now be rescuing those who fell into the water!
Please head towards the sea bus!
Do not board this ship!
Make sure you don't let go of your hand.
Okay.
You too, Mirai.
Yeah.
Yuuki!
Mari!
Yuuki!
Mirai! Mirai!
Yuuki!
Yuu...!
Yuuki!
Mirai?
Mirai!
Mirai?
Yuuki!
Mirai!
This ship will be departing soon!
Please give priority to the weaker people!
There are so many people.
We should go on the next ship.
We should at least try.
Those wishing to board, please wait for the next ship!
Guess not.
You kids there! Get on quickly!
You too, mom!
O-Okay!
Are you okay?
Please wait for the next ship!
Calm down! It's dangerous!
This is the worst.
Yeah. It's not the best situation either.
But, well, we did get on the boat.
You really are shrewd.
He called you "mom" and you replied.
Well, it's true that I've become stronger ever since my husband died.
I just thought I had to raise Hina well by myself.
Hey, the bridge has been burning this whole time.
A tanker truck supposedly caught on fire.
What's going on?
This is bad.
No...!
Mom! People fell off!
If we were a second later and rode that one...
No! It's heading this way too!
If we had gotten on that boat...
Mari?
I'm sorry I put you in danger.
No.
Thank you, Mari.
