Inuyashiki
Tell me, my hero What do we need
To end it all And to never let us bleed
So hit me on the ground Without a sound
Bring it on now Till the day we take the lead
In the middle of the fake game The same proclaims
Made by the liars From the lost age
Try to believe To know what you are
But you are not sure which side you're on From the start
Take a look All the junk we made
The last corner you'll take Will never lead you to the pearly gates
What else did we betray Turn into a machine
We just gave it away To fit into the scene
Are you losing your way Or are you lost?
Where are you going?
Tell me, my hero Where you're going
What do I need to end my war?
Hit me on the ground Hit me on the ground
Believe and rejoice Fulfill and share
Let go of everything And now is the time to stand up
Hit me on the ground Hit me on the ground
You quit Twitter, right?
Man, she's hot.
Yeah, but isn't she, like, a bitch?
Who cares when she's that beautiful? She's got alabaster skin, and look at her face.
When she's that hot, it doesn't matter what her personality is.
You think so? I don't want someone with a horrible personality.
You're always reading those Jump comics.
Don't tell me you prefer those girls in the mangas.
You've got a point.
Nami is way better.
Dude, you're gross.
Hey.
-Ando hasn't shown up to school lately. -He hasn't?
You think it's because he got beat up the other day?
Probably, but who cares?
Were you friends with him?
-I've known him since preschool. -That right?
HIRO SHISHIGAMI
Yes?
Oh, Shishigami.
Yo, Chokko.
I'm coming in.
Hey.
Are you never coming back to school or something?
I bought the latest Jump. Wanna read it?
One Piece is crazy good this week.
Totally gave me the feels, man.
Hey, you know that thing with those middle schoolers?
Was that some sort of broadcast hijack?
How did that work? It was even on satellite.
Hey, have you heard there's this random slasher going around lately?
The slasher's killed around eight people already.
Apparently the killer hasn't been caught yet, and there's no witnesses either.
So?
Isn't that you?
Why me?
You don't make sense.
You've skipped school for the last few days.
So, what have you been doing?
I've just been sleeping.
Something happened with you, didn't it?
What happened?
Dude, I'm just kidding.
The hell, man?
Because you're a total Gantz fanboy.
Always reading that shitty manga about killing.
It's not a shitty manga.
Have you even read it before?
Yeah. I'd always browse through Young Jump.
It made no sense, dude.
Everyone on Amazon and 2chan bashed the hell out of it.
So the Internet is all that matters?
That's what empty people say.
Empty, huh?
I mean, I basically am empty.
I'm not really Hiro Shishigami anymore.
What?
Freaky, right?
That's, like,
some magic trick or something, right?
Right? There's some sort of trick to it?
How'd you do that? That really freaked me out when you did that.
So it did, huh?
I mean, why wouldn't it?
Let's go outside.
Why? Why won't you tell me?
Dude, you gotta tell me.
Look.
Keep looking at those crows.
What? You gonna do something again?
Bang.
I know that one.
Crows are smart, so they think they got shot.
He's not getting away.
Bang.
Did that crow just die?
Wanna go look?
No.
I found this crazy trick from some online magic store.
Let's go to Ikebukuro. I'll show you something crazier.
Hey, by the way,
I saw someone jump in front of a train.
It was on my way home from school at the train station.
What about it?
Nothing, that's pretty much it.
This is getting exciting.
Watch the screen.
Holy crap. For real?
The hell is this?
What's this doing on-screen?
-What's going on here? -We're looking into it.
It's not changing. What the hell is going on?
That was hilarious. I have no idea how you did that.
That was an awesome magic trick.
One more. I've got one more to show you.
I guess here will be fine.
What are you gonna do?
Oh, my God.
I don't know, the cars just started...
There's no magic trick, is there?
What if there's not?
So hilarious.
Hiro...
Are you really...?
You're really not Hiro Shishigami, are you?
Compared to me,
you don't have it very bad at all.
So start coming to school, okay?
But...
I still need to process all this.
How can...?
How can this be real?
What?
Hey.
Yeah?
You wouldn't...
kill me or something, right?
What? Are you serious?
Oh, sorry.
That kind of hurt, ouch.
So your mind is still you, right?
Right, sorry.
Right.
But so,
you're still just going to go to school?
I mean, you don't have to study or work anymore, right?
You could, you know, instead of pranks...
You could rescue people like a superhero.
Superhero? Superhero, huh?
That sounds like a pain.
Oh, yeah.
That's true.
Like, how can Spider-Man be saving people for free all the time?
I know, you could start a business--
Dude, enough about me.
I came here today to get you to come back to school.
If you tell me who beat you up,
I'll kill them for you.
No, I mean, you can't actually kill them.
Why not?
Are you being serious?
Dead serious.
I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning.
I didn't just dream all this up, right?
Hey, Mom.
But his back really did open up...
God, I need to tell someone.
But I'm kind of scared.
I'm just leaving Chokko's place.
But he came all this way just to get me to go back to school.
That's the Hiro I've known all my life.
I'm sure of that.
Chokko was feeling down,
but I'm not giving up on him.
He'll go crazy.
But he said he was going to kill them for me.
What? Dad wants to go fishing Sunday?
I totally want to go. Sweet.
But he's the same guy who cried like a baby when his pet dog died.
There's no way he could kill someone.
God, I'm going crazy.
Wait, I remember something he said when we were younger.
But, you know, it's like if they aren't friends or family, who cares?
-I don't really care if they die. -What do you mean?
I mean just that.
I think Hiro's saying that
he won't feel sad or anything if someone he doesn't know dies.
Yeah. I might feel more for manga and anime characters when they die.
I think that's pretty normal.
You're it.
-I'm home. -Hi, honey.
Who are you?
Bang.
Bang. Bang.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
I panicked and killed her right away.
What's wrong with me? That misses the whole point.
Daddy, do the ducky.
Okay. Here's the ducky.
-Quack, quack, quack. -Yay, yay!
Daddy. Do the froggy next, Daddy.
Daddy, one more time.
Who are you?
This is a real gun.
So say something.
What are you doing?
Honey. Honey, call the police.
Bang.
Say something.
Hey, who's that? Daddy, what is he doing here?
I told you to say something.
What is it that you want? Who are you?
Bang.
What are you thinking right now?
My wife... Is my wife...dead?
Yeah.
Hold on.
I'm feeling it a little bit now.
Daddy?
Please, just spare my son.
I'm begging you, just, please, spare my son.
Nope, I'm killing the kid too.
Don't!
Bang.
I'm alive.
I feel alive.
I'm home.
Mom, I'm hungry.
Mom?
Why don't you take a seat and we'll talk?
Call an ambulance.
My mother's...
She's already dead.
I shot her in the head.
No. No. No.
Bang.
Money?
What do you want?
-What kind of manga do you read? -What?
Manga. What kind of manga do you read?
One Piece and Attack on Titan--
One Piece? For real? Who's your favorite character?
-Zoro. -Nice choice. Really?
Are my father and little brother dead too?
What does that matter?
We were talking about One Piece.
So you like One Piece for real, huh?
Don't kill me.
I don't want to die.
Please.
-That's nice. -Please.
I don't want to die. I don't want to die.
No.
You like Funky Monkey Babys?
I'm home, Hanako.
Don't kill me!
Please! Please!
Stop crying.
Or I'll kill you.
No!
Stop crying.
If you like One Piece, you like Funky Monkey Babys too, right?
I don't want to die. I don't want to die.
Someone!
No, help me!
Someone, please, help me...
-What? -Please...
No!
Okay, I got it.
I had fun.
-I'm glad we did this. -Don't.
Don't...
-Stop. -Bang.
No.
My God.
I wasn't...
I wasn't any help at all.
You poor thing.
Who would do this?
For what purpose?
This is unforgivable.
What?
There was still a grandpa left?
Is there a grandma too?
Bang.
I guess I had enough.
Time to go home.
What...?
What the hell are you?
This is my voice Can you hear me?
Is there a special person in your life?
They're closer to you than you think
But you probably don't see me
"Don't forget about me" You'd get worried
"Forget about me" So I pretended to be tough
And if I said I wanted you to notice
You'd put on that uneasy smile
Don't say that you love the present days
Can't you see I'm not there with you?
You said the small things made you happy
They always will
If wishes came true
If you could smile next to me
I want to see you again
You The one who taught me love
