7/25/2017 10:00 Haneda International Airport
July 25th, 2017.
That's when it came.
What is that thing?
Mankind...
I am Yaha-kui zaShunina.
7/26/2017 21:00
July 26th, 9:00 PM Japanese time.
The first meeting was held
between this mysterious being and humanity on a Haneda Airport runway.
First, I wish to rejoice in this meeting.
Our encounter will bring great benefits to the world.
He has the concept of "rejoicing"?
First, Yaha-kui zaShunina wishes
to resolve the information inequality that exists between us.
Information inequality?
Between him and us humans.
Does that mean you're telling us about yourself?
First, I would like to call this world "the universe."
I will use this information as a base in my discussion.
I have come from outside the universe.
From outside...
...the universe?
That is Kado.
A boundary object I have manifested
between this place and the anisotropic.
Beyond Kado is a world between the anisotropic and the universe.
Kado is a boundary object, but at the same time also a transforming mechanism.
Let me ask another question, Yaha-kui zaShunina.
Why did you come to this universe?
To advance the world.
As I said,
Kado is a transforming mechanism between the anisotropic and the universe.
It changes this world into the anisotropic,
and changes the anisotropic into this world.
This is called Wam.
You would feel like there are two of them here, right?
But these two are one.
I don't understand.
What's this?
Batteries?
Wam are a device for drawing electrical power from the anisotropic.
Isn't that really dangerous?
I want you to see this so that you can understand more precisely.
Hey, zaShunina, what are you—
Kado.
Haneda's got an uninterruptable power supply!
It's no good! It's not turning on!
I just used Kado to turn off all the power to this facility.
Presently, the Wam is supplying all energy to this facility.
The Wam is more bread than you could ever eat.
I want to offer this Wam to you.
The Wam: an anisotropic device
for creating electricity without fuel, restrictions, or limits.
Yaha-kui zaShunina offered this new energy source to humanity.
However, this spread great discord throughout human society.
Mankind,
I want you to choose the right answer.
7/29/2017 12:00 Release of Passengers Begins
The first two have been released!
We can see what appears to be a mother with her child!
Yes!
If this continues to go as planned, in 25 days,
all 251 passengers will be released!
That's one big problem getting solved, huh?
There's a lot left to go,
but now that two passengers are out, it feels like we're making progress.
He was accurate down to the second.
Can we trust this "anisotropic being" guy?
Does that thing even have the concept of lying?
That's...
Shindo!
I'll mostly be at Haneda for a while.
Take care of things here.
Just don't work too hard, okay?
That'll be the toughest thing for Shindo, huh?
I'm just lucky I've been running on adrenaline for so long that I don't feel sleepy.
Shindo-san, hurry up!
We've got a lot to do!
I'm on my way!
See you.
Please understand your position and your importance.
I'm sorry.
The situation is changing by the second!
You need to understand exactly where we stand!
You and I are both representing our sides!
No, I mean, I'm one thing,
but you're the only representative for the anisotropic in the world.
But you...
I thought we were short on time?
The results of the latest opinion survey.
We should work with the UN and neighboring countries to deal with this. Yaha-kui zaShunina is hot. I live in the country, so I don't care. We should get closer to the anisotropic. We should get rid of Kado. We should drop a bomb on Kado. I like things as they are. I want to use the Wam. I love the patterns on the side of Kado.
The Japanese government is too slow.
A bomb on Kado?
It probably wouldn't work.
What's your opinion, Tsukai-san?
As someone who spoke with him directly,
I'd like to hear your honest feelings on the anisotropic being.
My impression was that Yaha-kui zaShunina
didn't seem to consider humanity his enemy.
It's unknown if he even possesses the concepts of good and evil.
But for now, there seems to be little intention to harm us.
However, even if he has no evil intentions of his own,
it's too early for humanity to have the Wam.
It's a wonderful thing, yes,
but used wrong, it could be a disaster.
I think we're better off without the Wam.
By the way, Tsukai-san...
What?
At the meeting three days ago...
Yes.
You burst out laughing, didn't you?
I have video.
What is this?!
It was broadcast all over the country.
Delete it! I'm sending a delete request!
Why were you laughing?
It was because you were talking to the anisotropic being like he was normal!
It was funny!
Is that funny?
It is!
There's something funny about you!
The UN Security Council demands that the Wam be turned over,
Um... I'd like to go back.
but the anisotropic wants them spread.
Um, our Wam experiments are just starting to get really good,
Inuzuka Kozo, the prime minister of Japan, is caught between them.
and our research is going super fast!
I can't afford to lose a single second!
I just want to go back right now!
Hello? Um—
Then you should be here.
The anisotropic being!
She is appropriate.
97% of all the Wam produced are right here.
My first time touching one with my bare hands!
Shindo, I'll put you in charge here.
I'm going to the next place.
Tsukai-san will stay with you while I'm here.
Don't do anything too crazy.
Crazy?
If you don't know, that's fine.
I didn't understand anything...
7/31/2017 18:00 Emergency Conference by the Prime Minister
July 31, 2017.
There they are.
Shindo Kojiro, the representative of the anisotropic, and...
Who's that?
I would like to share a message from Japan to the United Nations Security Council,
as well as all the peoples of the world.
Five days ago, our nation was given the Wam,
a new energy source, by Yaha-kui zaShunina, a visitor from the anisotropic.
We tried to find a way to share the Wam's benefits with all the world's people,
regardless of nationality.
Prime Minister Inuzuka Emergency Press Conference
But yesterday we received a resolution
from the UN Security Council that included sanctions.
As the Prime Minister of Japan, this situation gravely concerns me.
I am here to tell you that we will accept all the Security Council's demands
and hand over all 196 Wam that Japan possesses.
Well, it's not like they had a choice.
We will work with the United Nations to turn them over
So the Wam are on their way to the UN, huh?
immediately, as soon as both parties are ready.
So the Wam are passing right out of Japan's hands
and right into those of the major powers...
And now...
In addition to handing over the Wam,
I would also like to publicize the results of our national lab's research into the Wam.
Research?
I am here as the representative of the anisotropic being Yaha-kui zaShunina.
My name is Shindo Kojiro.
Dr. Shinawa of the Unified Science Research Lab's Wam Research and Analysis Unit
will now announce her findings.
Okay!
I would appreciate it if all media would move their cameras to record her hands.
Okay, I'll make this simple...
So, as you all know, the Wam are a source of energy from the anisotropic.
As for how they generate that energy...
It's their form.
Their shape.
The Wam have an anisotropic form,
which is why they can access anisotropic energy.
It's like they're an anisotropically shaped hole that energy flows out from.
In other words, what's important is the shape, not so much what they're made of.
There's a trick to it,
but once you know the trick...
There you go.
That's how you make a Wam!
What did she say? Make a Wam?
Hey!
The Japanese government has just made an important announcement!
The Japanese government has publicized their investigations into how to make a Wam!
The media has just now shared this information with the whole world!
On that day, the Wam creation method was publicized to the whole world.
8/5/2017
The energy resource problem that humanity had dealt with for all of recorded history
They were only successful once, and haven't been able to reproduce it.
No, no, Doctor, anyone can do it.
was about to be immediately solved by the overwhelming energy of the Wam.
I mean, maybe it takes a little practice...
Your idea of "a little" doesn't apply to anyone else.
Would this bring happiness, or...
Well, because it's so hard to make, the world's avoided falling into chaos.
What the Anisotropic Wants
New Energy Source, Wam Less Than 0.1% Successful Creation Rate Unknown Factor Involved?
Anisotropic being, Yaha-kui zaShunina,
if you want to improve relations between humanity and the anisotropic,
there are many problems that must be solved.
Presently Released: 72/251 People
The release of the passengers is going well.
So, next is...
This.
Moving Kado From Its Present Position
Presently Released: 250/251 People
I'm finally... I'm finally out, Shindo-san!
You hung in there a long time, Hanamori.
Shindo-san!
Kado Movement Project Moving Day Process List

Kado was moved.
This is Haneda start point.
Roger.
Shindo, sections 1 through 3 are evacuated.
They're ready to go.
How are we defending the car?
A barrier that tank rounds can't penetrate, huh?
Nothing could make me feel safer.
Kado, begin movement!
Kado.
Section 1, shift position.
Kado.
4!

Sayama final point.
Begin contact.
Kado.
Sayama final point.
Contact confirmed.
Kado's move is complete!
Shindo.
I want to express my gratitude for your negotiations in this matter.
You're welcome.
But more will appear.
A real revolution will come.
Before that happens, I want to exchange
as much information as possible with the anisotropic.
Shindo.
Next.
Next?
Energy is the basis of the phenomenon of life.
Providing enough was the first problem.
Humanity, thanks to the Wam, now has more energy that it needs.
There's no need to worry about it further.
Now humanity can take the next step.
Shindo.
How long has it been since you slept?
Humanity will no longer
need to sleep.
Mankind,
I want you to choose the right answer.
Where are we going?
We are...
SETTEN? That SETTEN?
There's something inside that was also
given to us by the anisotropic, separate from the Wam.
I'm a negotiator! Why must I do something like this that doesn't suit me at all?
What you think is everything you are
is but one aspect.
