Continuing on their journey through time to fix Kazuo's mistakes...
Chuu went back to their hometown of Fukuyama
to convince himself to go for a check-up sooner and extend his life.
Mr Nagata, who went to stop Chuu,
finally confronted his father after years of bad blood.
They might be able to extend your life.
Show me that fate isn't set in stone.
Please.
Live.
Dad.
Show this to your mommy, I'm sure she'll like it.
But as expected, they couldn't change the fate that awaited Chuu.
Chuu!
What's wrong?
You ok?
I'm fine.
I've finally figured out why I'm here.
Present-day
Mr Nagata. Present-day
Mr Nagata.
Inject it.
Okay.
He's going into cardiac arrest!
Defibrillators, 150.
Okay.
Set to 150.
Stand back.
Right.
No change.
Try again.
Doc?
He's back from the brink.
But he's still in a coma.
I honestly can't believe it.
He must have a strong will to live.
Dad's amazing.
But isn't he in pain?
He's waiting.
For Kazuo to get here.
I'll try calling him again.
It's going swimmingly!
That's what a long trip will do to you.
Hey Kazu, join in!
It feels great.
Are you really okay now?
As you can see, I haven't croaked yet.
Maybe the me of the present has gotten better.
Unfortunately, you're still going to die soon.
Don't rain on my parade.
Sorry.
It's cold.
Hey, what was it?
What was what?
You said you figured out why you were really here.
Well, you know...
It's obvious.
I'm young again to make the most out of life before I die.
Drink good booze, eat good food etc.
And make some money from gambling.
That's all?
Yep!
So let's get to the next point in time Hashimoto.
Okay.
No!
What's with you?
I want to see Mommy again one more time.
Huh?
Sumie told me that Mommy would never forget me, since I'm her son.
So I want to see her again, even for a little while, to find out if she does.
Then why'd you run away last time?
You'll do it again, won't you?
Mommy!
Yes?
What's wrong?
Hey, what's wrong?
LET GO!
I won't run away this time.
Please.
Take me to my mommy!
You can't stop me.
I'm definitely going!
Even if I have to go alone.
I'll let you go.
Mr Nagata, Chuu, please help Kenta one last time.
Last?
You understand, right?
Doing this will leave you with no regrets and you'll rest in peace.
You'll forget everything and move on.
Good.
Go see her and say goodbye.
Yep, okay.
So you've made up your mind.
You're okay with this, right?
Yes.
Hey, refill!
You haven't touched your beer.
I told you, I don't drink.
And I haven't been to one of these in ages.
My heart's pounding.
You're such a worrywart.
Because I'm a ghost.
So what?
Um, why'd you want me to join you?
Kazuo could have come while me and Kenta waited.
We'd just get into an argument.
Sometimes-
Here.
Thanks.
- two fathers drinking is just as good.
And it seemed like you wanted to get stuff off your chest.
Huh?
Me?
I have a question.
If Kenta rests in peace,
what happens to you?
What happens to you?
"A beer tastes good when you're thirsty."
So you do drink?
I did.
But now I can't get thirsty, get drunk or even taste.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Hey Hashimoto.
What are you-
No pain or anything.
We can't really feel anything.
You and Kenta?
Yes.
We just think we feel things like being cold or sleepy.
Even so, the pain would be much worse without that.
I think I'd fall into deep despair.
There's no going back once you do.
You'd just have to embrace this numbness for all eternity.
Just thinking about it...
Hashimoto.
Hashi-
That's why you shouldn't hang on to your regrets.
So if resting in peace saves Kenta from all that,
I want to let him go.
You've mastered it, huh?
Yeah, I'm sure Mommy will be surprised.
You're inspirational.
You have the courage to see her again.
You've accepted your fate, right?
Compared to me-
You know, I have to rest in peace or else Daddy can't.
It's not fair that he can't rest in peace because he has to look after me.
Do you like piggyback rides?
I've never had one.
Remember, me and my daddy didn't get along before we died.
Oh yeah.
Did you give Hiroki piggyback rides?
I think I did.
I used to get them a lot.
From Chuu?
Yeah.
I don't remember much from back then, but I do remember his piggyback rides.
That's nice.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Reincarnation?
I don't believe in that childish idealism.
Well I do.
I'm sure a new life awaits us once we rest in peace.
We have another chance to do all the things we want to do,
make tons of mistakes,
chase after dreams,
fall in love with someone,
live through the tough times and the good times with one's family.
An ordinary...
I'm sure a great ordinary life is awaiting Kenta too.
Wouldn't that be nice?
That's why I believe in reincarnation.
I want Kenta to rest in peace so he can be reincarnated.
I wonder if I'll be reincarnated too.
What?
No, forget it.
If you believe in that, you should be reincarnated as Kenta's father again.
Don't worry.
That bond will make it happen.
Like how I appeared in front of Kazu.
But Kenta isn't my biological son-
Don't quibble!
As long as you consider him your son, he'll be your son for all eternity.
But you can't never get really mad at him forever.
I can't.
I might hurt his feelings if I speak my mind.
I'm always afraid that he'll hate me.
I'm just excess baggage to you!
Kenta!
So what's the problem?
Rest in peace together
and you'll be fine to do so if you're reincarnated as his biological father.
I guess so.
That would be really great.
I feel drunk, sort of.
It's about time we got back.
Get back here by sunset.
I want to go there tonight so you can rest in peace asap.
You're gonna rest in peace too, right?
Yes.
But not until the Nagata's journey is over.
Oh yeah.
Then maybe I should stay-
First and foremost, tell Mommy how you feel.
Yes sir!
I'm off.
My mommy's house was this way, right?
Yeah.
It'll be okay.
Your mom will be happy to see you.
We're going back.
What?
You can't see her again.
Forget it. - What's gotten into you?
No means no.
Let go of me!
Hey, what's with you?
I'm against him seeing his mom again after all.
Why are you only saying this now?
You suggested this!
I changed my mind, now let's go.
You can't do whatever you want!
Kenta's going to talk to his mom and then he can rest in peace!
Hurry up and go.
Wait up brat.
Hey!
Just stop.
Do you know how hard it was for Kenta to come here?
Of course I do!
But I'll feel really sorry for Hashimoto if this happens.
What do you mean?
Be honest.
What are you hiding?
Hey, Hashimoto!
I...
can't move on with Kenta.
Why not?
He won't feel guilty anymore if Kenta goes and then he can rest in peace too.
So why not?
God must be angry at me.
He won't let me rest in peace that easily because I caused that car accident.
I'm probably taking people like you two on time trips to atone for that.
You damn quibbler!
Drop the act.
You're lying.
Aren't you?
You don't have the guts to tell Kenta that you don't want him to rest in peace.
You want to go on more drives with him, right?
What nonsense-
You said that you envied me and Kazu.
You want a houbai-like father-son relationship with Kenta, right?
That's what you really want.
You can't rest in peace until you have that relationship.
So if Kenta sees his mom again and rests in peace,
you'll never be able to rest in peace!
Please, just stop!
I'm pathetic, aren't I?
Of course I'd want Kenta to quickly rest in peace and be reincarnated,
I know that's best for him.
I can't make him stick around because of my selfish reasons.
I have to let him off this never-ending road trip.
Then what are you going to do?
If you never overcome your regrets,
you'll have to roam around alone for all eternity, right?
That would be way, way, too sad for me.
I wouldn't mind.
If it means Kenta can rest in peace, be reborn and have a fresh start...
That sacrifice is the very least, very last, father-like thing I want to do for him.
So that's how it is?
A father and son can't part ways like that!
Kazu, think of something!
I'm at my wits end!
There's nothing we can do.
What?
You're okay with them being separated?
There's no other way!
Kenta will roam around for all eternity if he doesn't do this.
He'll stay eight forever and never have dreams or a future.
Are you okay with that!?
If this is the decision Mr Hashimoto reached,
we just have to accept it!
I don't know if we should.
I don't.
It doesn't make sense to me!
Chuu!
Not home? That's a shame.
Let's go.
Wait a second.
I'm sure God's giving you a sign, telling you it's too early to rest in peace.
Chuu.
Come on, Kenta.
You have Hashimoto.
Isn't he enough?
I really want to see Mommy again.
I really do.
I want to.
I do.
Once more.
Kenta!
Mommy?
Mommy, what's wrong?
Mommy?
Kazu, call an ambulance.
Mommy, what's wrong!?
Are you ok?
Mommy?
Hey!
Mommy!

Lucky she was brought in quickly.
So who called the ambulance?
No one was with her when the ambulance arrived.
[Kaori Sugimoto]
Mommy.
I can swing over the bar now.
Pretty cool, right?
And I can go to sleep by myself.
I have tons of things to tell you,
but I have to go.
Get well soon.
Bye Mommy.
Kenta.
It's you, isn't it?
How?
How can you tell?
It really is you.
It's weird.
I died ages ago.
I'm a ghost.
You should have never seen me again.
So why aren't you shocked?
You should know.
Not a day goes by when I don't think of you.
I didn't care if you were a ghost, I just wanted to see you again.
And now I have.
Mommy.
Kenta.
If this is a dream, I don't want to forget it.
I've gotten to walk hand in hand with you again.
This isn't a dream.
I came to see you.
Could I have died?
Is that why I can be here with you?
Don't worry, you're alive.
I see.
You saved me, didn't you?
Sorry Kenta.
I couldn't save you.
Forgive me.
It couldn't be helped.
It was so sudden.
Is your daddy with you?
Good.
Are you getting along?
Most of the time.
He needs me.
When Daddy's alone in the car,
he accidentally turns on the air-con and can't turn it off.
Trust him to do that.
I know.
It'd be nice if I could join you two soon.
Then I could be with you forever.
You can't!
Of course I'd be really happy if you could be with us,
but then I'd feel sorry for him.
My little brother.
I'm the eldest, so I have to be strong.
Kenta...
What did you name him?
Kenichi.
We took the 'Ken' from your name.
We hoped he could live for you too.
Oh.
So we can both be by your side, right?
Wait right here.
You can have this.
But this is Kenichi's-
I can just buy him another one.
This is all I have to give you.
Thanks.
I'll treasure it.
Hey Mommy.
What?
Let's play.
Sure.
Ready?
Ready.
Whoa!
Hooray!
Wow, Ken.
Here I go.
I have to get going now.
I'm sorry Mommy.
My death made you really upset.
I didn't spend much time with you compared to most kids,
but I'm glad I could spend it with a mom like you.
And I'm glad I could spend it with a son like you.
I won't forget about you.
I'll never forget you.
And I'll always, always, love you.
Kenta.
There, there.
Mommy.
Kaori.
Kaori?
Do you recognize us?
Are you ok Mommy?
I had a dream.
A dream?
A very lovely dream.
Sorry we're back so late.
Don't worry about it.
So you saw her again?
She said she'll never forget about me.
She'll always remember me.
I see, that's good.
Look, look, she gave me this.
Chuu, let's play dodgeball.
Kenta, there's no time to.
Why can't we play a little?
No.
We need to get to the crash scene before dawn.
Or you might miss your chance to rest in peace.
Come on, get in the car.
I still don't want...
to rest in peace.
What do you mean?
You saw Mommy again and overcame all your regrets.
You have to rest in peace now or else-
But I promised her
that I'll always love her.
But I'll forget her if I rest in peace, right?
I don't want to forget her.
She'd want you to rest in peace and be reborn too.
I get it.
If you don't want to worry about me so badly,
just forget about me.
Give it a rest.
Hurry up and get in the car.
No!
Kenta!
C-Chuu, please stop him.
Kenta!
Wait!
Kenta!
KENTA!
Watch where you're going, idiots!
Are you okay Kenta?
You're not hurt anywhere, are you?
Of course I'm okay.
I am dead.
Even if it did hit me, I wouldn't feel a thing.
But you still pushed me out of the way.
You're an idiot.
Really stupid.
Pathetic.
I couldn't just stand by and watch!
It doesn't matter that you're dead.
I never want you to be in an accident again!
Never again!
Huh?
This is weird.
Ghosts shouldn't be able to feel pain,
but it really hurts.
I'm sorry.
This place is as cold as ever.
We're completely fine.
We have matching jackets.
Right, Daddy?
Right.
I just have to go over there?
Yeah.
That's right.
You'll join me once you're done with Kazu and Chuu.
Don't take too long, I'll be waiting on the other side for you.
Sorry Kenta.
I won't be joining you.
Why not?
You know, there's a lot of people like the Nagata's out there.
I have to stay here and drive them to their destinations.
You're okay with staying a ghost?
Well...
I don't mind being a ghost.
It's pretty good, right?
I don't age or get hungry.
And it was so hard to get my driver's license,
if I was reborn, I'd have to go to driving school again.
So-
So...
don't worry about me.
Don't make that face.
Oh yeah.
Do you know about memories from a previous life?
From a previous life?
People can be reincarnated, but they seem to still remember their past life.
So don't worry.
You'll never forget about Mommy.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm sure of it.
Okay.
That's good.
So I won't forget you either?
You can forget about me.
I hope you have a proper dad instead of someone like me in the next life.
Someone more suitable for the job.
A biological father.
I'll always remember about you two.
That my mommy was the best and that my daddy was the worst.
I'll never forget that.
Now...
just go already.
It's a bit dark, so watch your step.
You don't have forever.
Kenta.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
I killed you.
I took you away from your mom.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
You ruined my life!
Hey, Kenta!
DON'T STOP HIM!
Let him go.
I'm begging you.
Thank you so much.
Without your help, I'm sure Kenta wouldn't have been able to move on.
We didn't do anything...
Chuu.
Thank you.
Let's go Chuu.
That was a terrible goodbye.
It wasn't up to you.
This is how Mr Hashimoto and Kenta chose to-
Terrible!
You can't deny it!
So what?
Our goodbye will be far worse.
We both despise each other.
But we keep it bottled up inside.
Cold and distant.
Not even able to face each other.
That's our goodbye.
Compared to that...
Wasn't this really a good goodbye?
Those two parted ways happily.
Ka-Kazu!
Kazuo!
Kazuo! Hashimoto!
Hashimoto!
I wonder why.
He's...
an idiot, isn't he?
Kenta!
Daddy!
Kenta!
How's that!?
You really are father and son, see?
It's not just a theory anymore!
Right?
A parent and their child can never really part ways, see?
I really am a bad father.
This shouldn't make me happy,
but it does.
Kenta, why did you come back?
Resting in peace is nice.
I saw the other side.
It was very warm and comforting.
A very nice place.
Then why?
I really wanted to stay with you.
But now you'll-
It'll be okay.
I can't say for sure.
But he managed to swing over the bar.
Kenta can defy fate itself.
Mr Nagata.
Well said!
That's how it is, Hashimoto!
Kenta's a tough kid.
Hey Kenta, put this back on.
It really suits you.
And I forgot about another regret I had.
Give me a piggyback ride.
Sure.
Heave-ho!
Cool!
It's like I'm flying!
You're the best!
Hey Hashimoto, it's my turn!
Changeover!
I'll show you what a real piggyback ride is!
How's this? How's this?
Huh?
This is a real piggyback ride!
How's that different from mine?
Because it's not me?
Am I wrong?
Not just that!
I wonder what Dad, no, Chuu, wanted to show me back then.
I wonder if we can enjoy that view again now, together.
Yes, hello?
Mrs Nagata,
what happened to this month's repayment?
I told you to wait a bit longer.
Do you know what time it is?
Then hurry up and pay.
Or I'll come to your home.
Your majesty, Hiroki,
10 x Large Cheeseburgers 10 x Large Fries A Variety of Drinks =Comics= 'Pirate Master Musashi' vol.14 'The Daily Life of the Genius Grandpa' vol. 20 'Baseball Boy' vol. 5 'Mega Pantsu' vol. 22 Your majesty, Hiroki,
could you bring these to the pool tomorrow morning? 10 x Large Cheeseburgers 10 x Large Fries A Variety of Drinks =Comics= 'Pirate Master Musashi' vol.14 'The Daily Life of the Genius Grandpa' vol. 20 'Baseball Boy' vol. 5 'Mega Pantsu' vol. 22
Everyone's really excited. 10 x Large Cheeseburgers 10 x Large Fries A Variety of Drinks =Comics= 'Pirate Master Musashi' vol.14 'The Daily Life of the Genius Grandpa' vol. 20 'Baseball Boy' vol. 5 'Mega Pantsu' vol. 22
Everyone's really excited.
If you don't buy this stuff, you know what will happen.
We won't accept any excuses!
You don't know where we're going, right?
Right.
Just that it's somewhere important to you.
That again?
But from experience, I have a rough idea this time.
You do?
Since I caused you some trouble today, I'll tell you.
Don't build suspense, just tell us!
The next point is probably your final destination.
So if we fix what we need to there,
this will be all over?
Can you tell me one other thing?
What?
I'll die, right?
