There are no answers to be found anymore
In this world, where storylines and rules no longer exist
Tomorrow and today are the same future
All I hope for now are unchanging days and something to look forward to...
And maybe just a hint of the future
Our two shadows sway together
As time goes by...
As the edges of the night start to unravel
Right now I'm casting all the words that come to my mind into the distance
I'm sending all the feelings I want to express from my heart to you
As long as my voice keeps pouring out, I swear to you
Tsuchigumo
Those jerks are still chasing us!
It's your fault for telling them they had to gang up on us to do anything!
But I was only stating a fact!
Hikaru! Hurry!
Hang on tight, now!
You bet I will!
TOKYO
Due to the unseasonal heat wave sweeping the Tokyo area...
...energy reserves in the metropolitan area have reached critical levels.
For this reason, a series of rolling blackouts...
...has been ordered for one week starting today.
Power will be shut off every night from 1 AM until 4 AM.
According to the Ministry of Economic Trade and lndustry...
...this is a temporary measure to cut back on power consumption as...
...the power plants serving the Tokyo area attempt to resume operations.
Hospitals will be exempt from the rolling blackouts, which will affect...
...only the private sector and factories...
...public transportation will be partially affected as well.
The time has come.
So hot...
OCT 12 (TUE) 98.6 F
Ookubo
Villa Minamoto
Because of the winter-like barometric pressure...
...we can expect snow in the northern Tohoku area...
...and along the coast of Hokkaido, by the Sea of Japan.
Here in Nikkoh, you can see the autumn foliage in all its glory.
This weekend will be a good time to enjoy the beauty of the autumn leaves.
Man, how come it's only Tokyo getting this heat wave?
Hikaru, you're not supposed to run the AC lower than 82 degrees.
Oh, come on, who cares?
Even if we try to save energy...
...you know the AC's on full blast at the big department stores.
What difference does it make?
You don't have to be so unabashed about it...
Really!
You'd think you were my dad.
I am reprimanding you as an adult.
You'd better shape up, or Raikou will be very disappointed in you...
...when he comes home!
Brother...
Sorry.
That's okay.
I've gotten used to him not being around.
Come to think of it, it was exactly a year ago today...
I wonder what my brother's doing now, I hope he's not...
I know Raikou, I'm sure he's alive and well somewhere!
You're right.
Of course, you're right.
I guess I'm going to have to be strong until Raikou comes home...
I have to take charge around here, as well.
Tsuna, you're going to pay all the back rent you owe me, I hope?
Uh, um...
Come back here!
I know you got paid for that job you did yesterday!
Sorry, I had to pay my tab at the bar!
Excuse me?
It doesn't matter if you're my brother's friend....
...if you're renting an apartment here...
...I expect you to pay the rent to me, your landlady, as you should!
I agree with what you say!
However, if no jobs ever come in...
See?
"Find Out the T ruth About Supernatural Phenomenon on the Yamanote Line!"
There's a job right there!
But that kind of work is really beneath me, see...
As if you can afford to be picky about what jobs you take!
Come on, I'll help you.
Go get ready!
I'm just going to change. All right?
Shin-Ookubo Station
So what's this place we're investigating?
Komagome.
Komagome?
I've never been there before.
It's not really the kind of place you'd go to unless you had a reason.
The only famous spots are...
...Rikugien and the Former Furukawa Mansion, I guess...
But supernatural stuff has been happening there?
No, it's the railroad crossing we're investigating.
Railroad crossing?
I thought the whole Yamanote line ran on elevated tracks.
There are just two railroad crossings left on the Yamanote line.
They say that at one of the crossings, the warning signal goes off...
...even though no train has passed.
Yeah?
All I have to do is stand there in the evening until the last train...
...take pictures of the crossing at one hour intervals...
...write up a four page article and then I'm done.
It's gonna take six hours?
You're the one who told me to take the job!
Tsuna, you weren't avoiding these kinds of jobs because you were afraid, huh?
Are you kidding?
If I had my way, I'd be pursuing something more substantive...
...something of social consequence.
But you insisted I take this job, so I had no choice...
Well, Hikaru and Watanabe!
Oh Urabe, are you on your way home now?
Yes, I finished up early today.
You do work hard.
Yes.
I can see a yin-yang symbol...
Hikaru, perhaps you will be seeing your brother soon...
Um, wait a minute...
Hey!
What's the matter?
Aren't you going to sit down?
What did she have to say...
Your 2nd-floor tenant?
Those fortune-tellers are just so shady, you know?
She said something to you, didn't she?
No. It was nothing.
I don't see what's so unusual about this railroad crossing.
This is just a rumor I'm investigating.
Of course there's nothing to it.
10/13 Wed 00:46 AM
The next one that passes is the last train.
10/13 Wed 01 :04 AM
What's going on?
It must be the rolling blackout to save energy.
So this is it!
Brother!
Turns out there was nothing to the rumor after all.
The warning signal probably just went off as part of a routine test.
Tsuna, didn't you see that train go by just now?
What? So now you're trying to scare me?
You think I was born yesterday or something?
We're heading back so we can get this article out of the way.
How can that be?
Think we can get a cab?
Was it just my imagination?
Well, it's been so hot lately, l haven't been getting much sleep...
Brother...
Torakuma!
Hey! You stop that!
Tsuna!
What is it?
You found these in Raikou's room?
Right, on top of the bookshelf.
You mean Raikou was hiding them?
I'll bet these pictures have something to do with his disappearance.
Don't you think that's a little too simplistic?
But this train in the picture is the...
...same one I saw last night at the railroad crossing!
Well, even if it is...
Oh, never mind! I'll just look for it myself.
What a troublemaker.
This isn't it, either.
Oh, it's you, Kintaro.
What are you doing, Hikaru?
Looking for something.
I know where this is!
Where?
This way.
Station
See?
Manseibashi Station?
It's between Kanda and Ochanomizu...
A now-defunct phantom train station...
There's Sadamitsu!
I didn't know you were here, too, Kintaro.
I found your school backpack tossed by the front door.
Sadamitsu...
What are you doing here?
I got a call from Tsuna...
...that you were looking for something.
I don't normally work for free, but...
...I'm not so cold-hearted that I'd look the other way...
...if my teenaged landlady was in distress!
In return, just cut me a little slack on this month's rent, will you?
Please?
I guess I have no choice.
It's a deal!
All right, so is it Manseibashi Station you're looking for?
No, I'm looking for this.
Right, this is where Manseibashi Station used to be.
It's the Transportation Museum now...
I have no idea what this ring-thing is, but...
...we might be able to find out something if we ask...
...someone who's an expert on trains.
An expert on trains?
That's right.
His head is crammed with more knowledge than any book you'll find...
...he's like a walking encyclopedia!
Come with me.
Me too!
You're staying at home, kid. Got that?
Come on, I'll buy you a donut later.
A donut?
You're on!
I'll be waiting at home!
Now then, shall we?
Whoa...
So where do we get off to see this train expert of yours?
No need to get off.
This ain't it.
What are you talking about?
Listen, where the heck are you taking me, anyway?
Chill out, don't be so impatient.
Well, I am impatient!
For your safety, please step back behind the yellow line.
Aha, this is it.
Hey.
So what is this, a mobile library complete with air-conditioning?
Mind your own business!
Don't interrupt my valuable reading time.
Hey, Mr. Highbrow, I came here to ask you something.
You still owe me for that mah-jongg game we played, remember?
Otogi Zoshi
If we're talking about debts, it's mutual.
Man, I can't get anything by you.
Belani Man, I can't get anything by you.
This I don't need, but I suppose it'll do.
What was it you wanted to ask me?
It's me, I'm looking for a train.
Well it's the 73 Series, haven't seen that one in years.
Last night, I saw that same train running on the tracks of the Yamanote Line.
This model was in use from the postwar period until 1 963...
...but it's no longer in service anywhere today.
Is that right?
There's just one thing...
There are no historical records of that train, but I've seen it myself, too!
Where?
At Manseibashi Station.
Manseibashi?
In the old days, the Yamanote Line didn't actually run in a loop.
One of the stations that served the line back then was Manseibashi.
About a year ago, I was on the platform after the last train had gone...
...mesmerized by the sight of the moon...
...and that was when I saw that train go by.
Then if I go to the old platform at Manseibashi Station, I might...
Don't know about that.
I could have just been drunk when I saw it that night...
Thank you.
Are you sure we can believe him?
What that old man said?
Well, it's the only clue we have, so it's not like I have a choice!
Manseibashi Station, huh?
How are we supposed to get up there?
We're going to look for a way now.
What do you think you're doing here?
We're here to write an article called "Akihabara After Dark".
An article?
The rolling blackout's about to start.
Don't you know you're not supposed to be roaming the streets?
Go on home, you two.
Yes, sir!
There are more patrolmen than usual because of the blackouts.
They'll be ending the blackouts by next week.
We'll come back here then.
No, we can't wait!
I can't explain why, but it's no coincidence that...
...I saw my brother exactly a year after he disappeared.
And don't forget I found those pictures today, of all days.
There's got to be some kind of connection!
I'm telling you, we have to do it today.
The blackout just started.
I hear a train...
It's coming!
Come on, we've got to get up there!
What the hell?
Tsuna, help me over!
Isn't this trespassing?
Hurry up!
Hikaru!
Hey, you!
Hikaru, make a run for it!
Come back here!
Tsuna, I'm sorry...
Brother...
Brother!
I knew it wasn't just my imagination!
Brother, look over here!
Hikaru, is it you?
Go home.
This is no place for you.
Brother!
The world is faltering, and it's on the brink of oblivion.
Brother!
Brother...
To be continued...
You were the only one who knew the real me
This is who I really am
Maybe being alone has made it worse?
Please don 't cry anymore
Even if I can 't see you, I can still hear your voice
All these memories we share
I don 't want to shed even a single tear
Cry baby cry...
I hadn't seen my missing brother in a year...
...until one day I caught sight of him in the city.
Tsuna was with me, but he didn't seem to notice.
The mysterious photographs my brother left behind...
I went to the place shown in the picture to look for clues...
But who did I find there but that strange man in an overcoat!
Act Fifteen, Shinjuku.
Don't miss it!
