Chuu-san's...
time...
is already up
so Chuu-san's disappearance means dad in the present world is already dead?
no
actually he...
...hasn't passed away yet
dad hasn't conscious yet
(Present Day)
is that so
everyone,
please let out your voice
cause Tadao likes the bustling sounds
dad,
do you hear me?
everyone is here!
director!
can you hear us?
director!
what on earth is onii-chan* doing right now? (*older brother)
as I thought, this what's destiny probably like
it's never going on well
either for dad or onii-chan
Tadao-san's condition is really on the edge
I think,
that's the reason why Chuu-san's existence has been gone
such thing...
to help you overcome your hardships,
and then,
to fix the father-son broken relationship
those were Chuu-san's...
Tadao-san's...
unfulfilled wishes in the present world
he regrets over those things enormously
but our relationship has not completely fixed yet
is there something that I should do?
can I meet Chuu-san once again?
Kazuo-san,
you're also gonna die soon, remember
I'm okay with that
since I have prepared myself
but now, Chuu-san...
Fukuyama!
Chuu-san is definitely right there!
you can see that?
no
but he's a person that won't give up and die easily
he's gotta be at the hospital seeing his own critical condition
that means,
he's in the present world, that is 6 months from we are now?
Hashimoto-san
can we go there?
to the present day in Fukuyama
eh?
it's not that easy...
it's fine!
that is the place where I had gone once
we definitely can go there
please!
Hashimoto-san
I can't guarantee whether or not we can get there
but,
let's try to believe that we're actually can!
yes!
do your best, papa!
life is...
...a series of crossroads
but,
we never realize about it
and when things unexpectedly happened,
we're only aware when we got confronted by the result
"if only I'd chosen a different path at that time..."
by the time we started to realize,
it's already too late
by the time he's questioning that matter
and sitting on that bench, resenting his own life
Nagata-san had ready to die
at that moment,
my wagon appears
and Nagata-san started his journey
but,
soon it will come to an end
by the time it ends,
Nagata-san is...
since there are such things as ghost and wraith
God's existence is definitely unquestionable
if You're really there, God,
please help us
please allow Kazuo-san and Chuu-san to meet again one more time
please,
let this wagon reach Chuu-san's place
this is...
this is the place!
this is where I hid together with Chuu-san
but...
it's January 14th 2015
it's half a year later!
yay!
(Present Day)
see, I told you
Papa, you can do it if you want to
but, is Chuu-san really here?
anyway, let's try find him!
what a great place,
so calming and beautiful
Nagata-san, this is your hometown like
though you may call it that way,
it's been 19 years since I moved to Tokyo
you can count with one hand how many times I come to visit here
and before I knew it,
my months and years staying in Tokyo have become permanent
here it is!
this is uncle Kazu's house
right?!
although I could picture it in my head
but in reality, it's much more historical than I thought
you mean it's old and clunker, right?
hush Kenta!
I'm sorry
no, it's fine
what Kenta said is true
but, it's really weird if you asked me
the company offices are new buildings that were built from scratch
and father is always so flashy with money and investment
but why he only let this house to stay the same?
perhaps,
it's all because of you
eh?
actually,
Tadao-san had once thought to rebuild this house 20 years ago
now I'm gonna talk to you about the most important spot
so clean your earwax and listen carefully!
listen!
Kazu's room must be the most gorgeous part of the house
so it won't be an embarrasment when other people come here
Kazu?
that's my son
the next president director of Maruchuu Corporation
soon, he'll graduate from the university,
become a splendid man,
and coming back here from Tokyo
that's why Kazu's room must be top-notch and suits a fine man taste
you gotta do your best!
we will!
one more thing,
don't tell this to anybody
keep it a secret
it's a surprise
when Kazu return home, I can picture his shocked face, like...
I totally can picture that look!
"ah...papa?!"
I'm so totally can't wait!
what do you mean you won't come back?
(6 months later)
you choose to work for that meaningless company in Tokyo over mine...
it's not a meaningless company!
the annual sales is 20 billion, and it's properly listed at the stock exchange
rather than your countryside loanshark office,
this company has more promising future
stop preaching at me!
didn't I tell you that I did all of this for your sake?
you little spoilt wretch
you're throwing away the great thing that you can have as hard as possible
in my company, you can just straightly sit on the grand position that you can brag about...
I told you I don't want that
you will never understand how I feel until you die
I decides my own life
fine!
I totally understood
ungrateful wretch like you,
from this moment on, we're no longer father and son!
now get outta my house!
Kazuo!
ever since then,
Tadao-san had decided to not rebuild the house, no matter what
never mind how big his company has become,
perhaps,
his decision to rebuild the house...
...was only made because of your homecoming at that time
no way...
his effort to expand the company too,
actually, has been done because he really wanted you to come back
he wants to make you regret your decision for throwing away his finely established company
though he's been saying a lot of rude things,
he actually still wants you to follow his footsteps
isn't that reverse psychology?!
the proof is,
before admitted to the hospital, Tadao-san had planned to open a new company
it engaged in the same field that you've been working in, Nagata-san
the electronic components
someone's coming!
Chuu-san!
you guys are so late, I was tired of waiting
what are you doing at this place?
this is my house, I can do whatever I want
you're not feeling any hurt?
what a kind-hearted chap, you little Kenta
right now, I'm all good
I'm all good
why are you still standing here?
hurry up come in,
I'm done with the preparation
preparation?
you stupid!
do it more carefully!
this is Chuu-san's okonomiyaki dough,
do it like you're dealing with a baby, now mix it gently!
like this?
no! no!
you're so insensitive
stop ordering me around
I didn't come looking for you just for doing this stuff
what do you mean by 'this stuff'?
I'm passing my skill directly to you to take over
this is a privilege, be grateful
but I'm also gonna die soon
next one is the cabbage!
your hand, your hand
your hand gotta move faster
it's shredded cut!
hurry up!
Hashimoto and Kenta will die of hunger
please proceed, don't worry about us
we'll be okay, since we're already dead
I'm hungry
he said he's hungry right?!
cut it more thinly! thinly!
it's a thousand shreds, no, make it two thousands
it's finished!
it's delicious!
it really is!
though I have no more tasting sense, but I can feel it's delicious
pass
I'm glad, Kazu
back then you kept failing no matter how many times I had taught you
that was because I still a kid
but now I'm an adult...
you have changed the reality
what are you talking about?!
that's not making...
I was thinking the same thing,
but when you can't change something that had happened before,
you can change something right from this moment now
right now, you're alive
you're not dead yet
the battle starts now!
but I...
hey, uncle Kazu
what if you're not gonna die
and you go back to your original place and time
where the reality is more cruel and worse than ever
do you still wanna go back?
that's only a 'what if'
don't talk about regretful things like that anymore
I have already...
...fully prepared to die
Chuu-san!
I'm okay, I'm okay
you had reached your limit
no way
take me...
take me to the hospital where I was treated
and then
can I have a little more time there?
I understood
so that is the place where I'm in?
yes
this is really the last
why don't you two take a little walk?
you're right
Hashimoto
thank you for everything
same here
someday...
I'm gonna try to be a strong father like Chuu-san...
are you stupid?!
you already are
yes
Chuu-san, please don't go!
Kenta
thank you for liking an old man like me
but, Kenta
I'm the winner
cos I like you much more!
let's go, Kazu!
Chuu-san!
Kenta
let's put our trust...
...upon them both
Ryuusei Wagon: Final Episode subbed and timed by: minipipami
I finally understand,
the reason why the 43-years old me appeared right in front of you
I...
in each and every time you're growing up,
have always seen you as a person who has the same age as me
that's why I always being so strict at you
cos I don't want you to be a helpless weakling houbai
that's what I've always thought
but,
perhaps now, you only think of me as a shitty old man at a hospital, right
what do you mean?
back then, you said it yourself to this shitty old man,
that you come visit just because you want to take your paycheck
yeah
that time I realized your perspective towards me
but still,
I pretend that I didn't know and gave you the money away,
because I was really happy
that you came to visit me, and I can see your face,
and you reminded me of myself when I was your age
and even though as father and son, we never get along well
but who knows, we might be great as a houbai
that is I, the shitty old man, always think
and unconsciously I was brought back as the younger me
and met you at that time
I guess you can call that miracle or magic
Chuu-san
houbai is a half and a half, right?!
yes it is
if that's the case,
this time, it's my turn to help
please tell me,
what should I do for you?
what should I do for Chuu-san...
...for father, so he has no more regret?
Kazu
what I really wanted...
...is just for you to be strong
that's why I always very strict in teaching you not to lose in a competition,
I want to give more and more luxury for you and Tomoko
so I worked hard to make a name for my money-lending company,
expand it more and growing it bigger
Kazu
in this world,
in this world, the only person who think the best for you, is me
that's the only thing...
...the only thing I can confidently say!
however,
this is probably also...
...just my self-importance speech
as this kind of old man,
if for all these years you had been suffered...
...or ended up in a misery,
the main cause for all your problem...
...is this Chuu-san and no other
there's no doubt about it
there's no doubt that I cause it
Kazu...
...for making you to feel unhappy,
I'm really sorry
Chuu-san...
ahhh, that felt great!
I feel so refreshed! refreshed! refreshed!
ah!
one more thing, Kazu
one last thing that I wanna do
Kazu
come with me!
ever since you were born,
I've always thought about this
that time, when they brought you in
you were just this little squirt
but when I looked at you,
I couldn't be more happier
and I decided that one day, when you become an adult,
I'm definitely gonna take you for a piss together
though I do cherish Sumie and Tomoko greatly
but this is the only thing that women can't do no matter what
so let's have a fellow piss session
Kazu!
hurry up!
over here!
this is our last chance!
c'mon, let's do this!
how does it feel?!
it feels awesome right?!
hey, Kazu
it was fun
ahhhh, that hurts!
Kenta, please stop it!
shut your mouth!
the mold smell is unbearable!
papa!
we are houbai! a half and a half!
ahhh!
it's flying! it's flying!
I got hit by a flying piss!
your piss is flying at me, you idiot!
you idiot!
my bad, my bad
it's wetting my hair
look at them
finally
you just don't understand how to piss standing up
I had a good laugh
well, this is it
I have no regret anymore
are you sure this is enough?
just by doing this...
hey, Kazu
you said that your journey with that wagon up until now...
hasn't changed anything in reality,
but, I don't think so
there is one thing...
that definitely has changed from this whole journey
...it is your confidence!
Kazu
you have to live!
don't give up!
listen,
the only important thing is right now
what's piling up from your past is nothing but an expired problem
your original life is just a past that's already rotten
however,
when you ride along in Hashimoto's car,
you had given your best to change your rotten past, even only for a little outcome
you'd become distressed, you'd become desperate
and although as a result, the reality of your past hasn't changed at all,
it doesn't matter
all of your effort, determination, and desperation in try to change it,
that's...
that's what really piling up and changing you to become someone new
that is...
the real moral of the journey
right now the new you definitely can change the future
thank you
thank you...
...Chuu-san
I'm thankful to you too, Kazu
well...
I gotta go now
Kazu!
either in the past, or in the future
either in life, or death
you and I will forever be...
...a houbai!
Nagata-san
now it's your turn
by the time you went back to reality,
you're gonna die
but you already prepared, right?
before that,
I haven't answered the last night's question
ah, that one
"what if you're not gonna die,
but your original place and time is the worst and the cruelest reality
do you still wanna go back there?"
yes
yes, I do
eh, really?
it's really the worst and the cruelest,
both Hiroki-kun and Hiroki-kun's mama also haven't changed a bit as well
and they might go crazier and rougher
or even hate you more than before
so why don't you just forget all that painful thing,
and reincarnate yourself
isn't that better?
but I wanna live
in the worst,
and the cruelest...
...world where Miyoko and Hiroki exist
even if it's just a dream,
or a fantasy,
a miracle or a magic,
anything is fine!
I'm gonna live
I will!
we've been waiting for that word!
what do you mean?
am I allowed to be alive?
from the very beginning,
uncle Kazu wasn't going to die, right?!
sorry for keping it quiet
but,
we've always wanted to hear that determination from your own mouth
actually,
up until now, I have seen many people
who couldn't stand their own reality once they went back from this journey
and they're ended up taking their own life
I just didn't want that to happen to you, Nagata-san
because both you...
...and Chuu-san
are our supportive friends
I don't want you to be defeated by your fate,
I want you to have the happiness
Hashimoto-san
moreover,
there's certainly one person...
who want to hear that words of yours more than anyone
Chuu-san...
turns out,
we've been fairly fooled by Hashimoto-san's and Kenta's white lies
so,
shall we go back...
...to the cruelest,
and the worst...
...reality that you live in?
yes
I...
was really enjoying the journey...
...together with uncle Kazu and Chuu-san
me too, Kenta
someday, you have to reincarnate together with your papa
yes
when that time comes,
I will definitely remember about us
and come to look for you
I'll look forward to it
well, I'm gonna give you a special present
present?
I'll look forward for the hereafter
Nagata-san
though Chuu-san had already gone,
the real Tadao-san...
...is still hanging on between life and death
somehow,
I pray for you to make it in time
yes
for this long journey,
I've been really thankful
and then,
take care
I'm leaving now
have I...
...been seeing a dream?
there's no way, right
for that to be real...
(16 missed calls from Tomoko)
hello, onii-chan?
dad's condition suddenly change
tonight is the critical point
if dad has one more seizure,
he's probably not gonna make it
onii-chan, what've you been doing?
hurry up come back here!
Hiroki
you're in there right?
please come out
it's only morning, so shut up!
what?
don't come in here inconsiderately...
we're gonna go out now, so get ready
to where?
to your granddad's place in Fukuyama
why don't you go alone...
stop it! you're coming with me!
just get ready
how's dad?
he's still here
Kazuo
onii-chan
Tadao, Kazuo is finally here
Kazuo
here
can you hear me?
he's been asleep due to pain reliever
they say he won't gain consciousness anymore
dad,
I'm sorry for being late
I've been seeing a weird dream
about that words of mine...
...I wanted you to hear it more than anyone
today, I'm taking Hiroki with me
you haven't seen him for a very long time, right
he already became this big
actually,
you wanted to see Hiroki more, weren't you?
even so, I...
...let myself to be hold back by my own stubbornness
I had taken away...
...your one happiness
I'm sorry, dad
the dad that I saw in my dream,
was full of affection towards Hiroki,
and gave him lots of love
but still, what he did with me is only fighting
and beat me for many times
truthfully,
it was a very horrible dream
but now I'm thinking,
that even in this reality,
...if we're gonna fight more and more, I'd be very grateful for all of it
that way,
I probably could understand a lil bit more about your feeling
I'm really sorry
please say something
in my dream, you always wanted to talk about lot of things
you want us to drink alcohol together,
and taking a piss together, right?!
dad!
dad?!
it's me!
do you understand?
it's me!
K-Kazu...
you're alive...
y-you're alive...
Kazu...
yes I am
cos I will keep on living
I''m gonna live
cos I will keep on living
as expected...
you are my...
...h-houbai
dad...
it's Chuu-san...
dad...
...has been seeing the same dream as me
hey
Chuu-san!
hey!
dad!
Tadao!
dad!
Tadao!
he has such a good expression here
this is the first time I ever saw a photo of dad's smiling
onii-chan, you did a great job getting this
by the time I took my mourning clothes,
I accidentally found it
so this is the only one...
...that left from everything
mom, how old was dad in here?
let's see...
probably the same age as your brother now
"to uncle Kazu and Chuu-san"
thank you, Kenta
your present had definitely been received
thank you, Hiro
for willing to visit your granddad
I didn't have any choice, right
since you're taking me along by force
you're right
so,
how long we're gonna stay here?
hey, Hiro
what now?
do you want to run away with me?
about Hiroki,
has he been doing well?
yes
you have given Hiroki your new contact address, right?
sorry I didn't tell you
it's okay
I was happy about it
cause it made me understand how you're always really care for him
of course I do
actually, we...
...have moved out
to my family's home in Fukuyama
I restart my life from zero there
eh?
today,
I thought to bring this anyway while I came here
you can decide whatever you want as the next step,
but,
I'll wait for you
I'll always waiting
if I...
...told you that I want to get Hiroki back,
what are you gonna do?
I'm sorry
that's the only thing that I can't compromise
from now on too, I want to keep being Hiroki's father
I wanna live together...
...with you and Hiroki again
hey,
have you ever said that before?
in this place,
when I was here with you
I've had enough...
...with the past
so you moved out?
yes
you're running away, aren't you?
say something!
you loser!
that's right
I'm running away
but I'm not a loser!
I'm sorry!
I can't never forgive what you guys did to me all this time
but from the very first time I was at fault too by giving you a snob attitude
I'm really sorry
the place where I live now is a very beautiful town
you should come visit someday
bye!
it's been half a year passed ever since then
hey newbie!
when you finished there, go help over here
don't slack off!
yes!
the Maruchuu Corporation that was built up by dad for all his life....
...is taken over by his adopted son in law, Nobuyuki
he had told me beforehand that he wanted me to takeover dad's position
but,
I don't feel qualified for it
dad!
grandma said you should come home early cos we'll have nabe for dinner
okay, I got it!
later!
Hiroki...
...has completely adapted with the lifestyle in here
and I don't know since when...
...he's been calling me with 'dad' (oyaji)
hey, newbie!
it's sunset already!
if you keep doing nothing you will be knocked down by the sea
(Senior Fisherman: Kitabeppu Manabu)
I'm sorry!
since I moved here 6 months ago,
Miyoko had never once contacted me
that is the fact
but I won't be defeated by it
this cruel and ugly reality...
...will be changed by my own power
I don't know how much time it'll take, but I got plenty
just like dad who always waited for my return
I also have my faith in Miyoko
what are you doing!
where are you going?
Miyoko!
do you believe in magic?
if you do believe it,
then maybe,
you can meet Hashimoto-san and the others
when you feel so fed up with the cruel and ugly reality,
and you're thinking that you better off dead,
when a wagon unexpectedly appear right on front of you,
that's gotta be Hashimoto-san's car
eh?!
ah!
Chuu-san!
didn't you already rest in peace?!
compare to you two that just here recently,
I've been wandering here for around 6 months already
eh?
long time no see, huh
how you've been doing?
we've been very busy with lots of journey
but,
we're really glad to see Kazuo-san's braveness in changing his future around
you said he's changing his future, but you see what he's been doing?!
I had put all my effort in my business for seeing Kazu taking it over
and I'm waiting, waiting, and waiting for half a year
until I feel numb of it already
I don't know how to say it,
life is not always going well
well, about that...
you're there for the sake of us who have the 'not-going well' life
you, and your son is always there too
there are still many other people who haven't ride in this car yet
so you still have to do your best for them too
thank you very much
Chuu-san, you too...
have been doing well?
what I mean,
I'll give you my pray for your soul
same here
nanmandabu, nanmandabu
so,
Kenta, shall we leave?
yeah
bye, Chuu-san
nanmandabu, nanmandabu
see you later!
yeah
take care, okay
okay
when I meet them again,
I want to tell them
that I...
somehow managed to be doing fine
Kazu,
the battle starts now
go win over the future!
thanks for watching! see you on the next project! (maybe)
