"All Sawajiri-Bound Traffic Blocked"
"A Landslide Was the Cause?!"
The number of casualties and missing persons due to this collapse
- That was a landslide? - Is still under investigation, and we have no details.
Scary.
It was a UFO.
Was it really a natural disaster?
If it were, we wouldn't have to stay here to be questioned, right?
It was a UFO crash!
Hey, stop turning this into a joke!
But you gotta admit this is weird!
If there was really no crime, then how come we can't leave?!
There has to be something there that we're not supposed to see!
Oh, please...
He's been watching too much bad TV.
Senkawa?
Oh, I'm just going to take a little walk.
Birdy, what was that?
I don't know yet.
It was definitely no landslide.
But why did you go outside that night?
I felt a strange wave.
A strange wave?
Well, I guess it was what you Earthlings call a "gut feeling."
Huh.
This is awful...
I said no!
Please? Just for a minute!
Pretty please?
Sheesh... How did you even get here?
I'm impressed you got past the police cordon.
But you can't go any further. The village is completely sealed off.
Please? Just for a minute...
No way.
If you keep pushing it, we'll arrest you for obstruction.
Aw, don't be like that...
Go on, get in the car. I'll give you a lift back to the cordon.
Dammit!
Hey!
Tsutomu!
Hey! What the heck?!
- Let me go! - I'm so glad you're alive!
I was so worried when I saw the TV news, I just had to come!
What's wrong with you?!
Will the sky one day grow tired of looking down and lose its blue color?
There's just one blue sky over this world rife with countless emotions
The sound of the battle raging somewhere
And the laughter right nearby
You can never hear it all
Because you have only one story
Only this sky sees all at once the sorrow and smiles
That simultaneously fall in different places around this wide world
Will the sky one day grow tired of looking down and lose its blue color?
How can it stay unchanging after watching innumerable dramas?
Even now everyone heads to his own story without knowing a thing
There's just one blue sky over this world rife with countless emotions
Wordlessly marking out time longer than anyone's...
Man, you saved me. I owe you one.
Yakiniku.
You're going to buy me dinner, got it?!
Settle for a beef bowl.
I could start shouting "This man has nothing to do with me," you know.
Okay, okay. I'll do it.
Anyway, Senkawa, what are you doing here?
Staying at a friend's vacation home.
A friend's vacation home?
What?!
What the heck is Mr. Muroto doing here?!
I bumped into him on my walk.
Hi, guys!
That didn't mean you had to bring him here.
Hayamiya! You don't want to help a graduate of your school in trouble?
Don't you have any school spirit?!
Sure I do! I'd be happy to help Ms. Sanada in any way I could!
Who's that?
Hmm, I remember that he's an old boy...
The name's Muroto. Keisuke Muroto. Of the 23rd graduating class.
Uh-huh...
Please don't pull that "old boy" act on us!
It'll put you out having this guy suddenly foisted on you, right?
Hmm? Well, the more the merrier, right?
Huh?
Maybe it's my good character that attracts such kind juniors.
Ah, I'm in heaven!
You really love baths, huh? You're always nagging me to switch with you.
It feels way nicer than that tune-up tank.
What if someone sees you?
It'll be fine! Everyone's totally into Mr. Muroto's stories.
And this is the photo I took of the UFO!
UFOs really do exist!
Pretty awesome, huh?
- Awesome! - Are those guys stupid? Obviously all those UFO pics are fake.
So you don't believe in them.
Of course not.
Say, Nakasugi, let's go for a walk.
Let's all go once Senkawa gets out of the bath.
Huh?
So in other words, I'm in the way, eh?
No, no, that's not true at all!
Sure, sure, don't worry about it.
Hayamiya...
I'll go get some fresh air by myself.
Honestly...
I can see right through her.
What a cool breeze... more like cold, actually.
Aw, man! I made myself dizzy!
Hey!
Gah! What the heck, Hayamiya?! Don't look! Go away!
S-S-Sorry!
And no more peeking!
That's so weird... Maybe I'm tired or something?
Carelessness is the greatest enemy...
Sayaka!
Grandfather!
You're all right, Sayaka?
Yes, we're all fine.
Sir!
Ah, Yoshie, so you're safe too.
Thank goodness, eh Mr. Chairman?
It's nice to meet you, Sayaka. I'm Satyajit Shyamalan.
I owe your grandfather a great deal.
Mr. Shyamalan?
It's Satyajit Shyamalan!
So Nakasugi's grandpa knows him? That's amazing!
Now, don't treat me like some celebrity.
The press is just soft-soaping me, that's all.
But they'll be panning me soon enough. Count on it.
He's so famous, but he's not stuck up at all.
He's just a weirdo.
I was on my way here for a bit of business
when I ran into your grandfather.
So, I asked him to bring me along.
I see you're as beautiful as I'd heard.
Pleased to meet you.
Come on inside.
Thank you.
Satyajit Shyamalan?
Come in!
Oh, Hayamiya. What's up?
You came to visit your hated senior?
I'm suspicious about why my hated senior suddenly showed up here.
You're here about what happened in Sawajiri, aren't you?
Now that you mention it, that landslide was near here, huh?
I think there's something strange going on.
It seems like the news is covering something up...
So you want to see it with your own eyes?
I want to tell everyone the truth!
There's no guarantee that anyone wants to know the truth.
Human beings only believe in what they want to see or want to know.
I don't think that's true at all!
Well, maybe you're right,
but I want to know the truth, and I want to tell everyone about it.
Jeez... I wonder if I was ever like you?
Huh?
I'm sorting all the newspaper and TV reports into chronological order.
Want to help?
Yes! I'll do it!
It's beautiful... An overwhelming beauty!
The god of destruction has descended onto this land!
This is the power of the Ryunka!
It came to Earth to select the fittest of the human race!
This is the best feeling! The best!
Mr. Shyamalan, we need you to wear a hazmat suit.
If something should happen...
I'm one of the chosen ones.
A survivor?!
Behold! This child was chosen out of the Ryunka's destruction!
He is the very proof of the Ryunka's power!
I'll raise this boy.
Arrange for his adoption.
Mr. Shyamalan?!
Find a clue to the Ryunka as fast as you can.
I'll keep the press and the police quiet for a while.
Ondine...
What is it, Birdy?
I got a little concerned.
Wait, what are they doing?
They don't look like the police or rescue workers.
Huh?
They must be investigating the Ryunka.
The Ryunka?
Yes.
But we don't know if it was the Ryunka or not, right?
And who would do this?
The invisible death, huh?
An abnormal incident on the planet someone smuggled an abnormal weapon to.
We'd be crazy not to draw a connection.
You've got a point...
We have to find out who has the Ryunka.
Who's there?!
Found you!
Huh?
Dammit!
Mr. Muroto!
Muroto, are you all right?
Muroto?
- Run. - What?
Just run, fast!
Muroto!
There they are!
Over there!
Get out of here, Hayamiya!
- But... - Just get going!
Hey! Over here! Okay, go!
Don't let him go!
Did I get him?
I'm not sure. Let's go check.
Why do those guys have guns? This is not funny!
Muroto!
There she is!
Get rid of her.
What's with that thing?
Don't point your toy guns at me!
What the?
An alien?!
Those weapons won't work on me. But they do kind of hurt!
Quick, shoot her!
I can't believe I took a high school girl to such a hairy scene...
I'm a careless bastard!
Y-You're...
Take this girl and get out of here. I'll draw them away from you.
Shion Arita...
Hey! It's that chick from the bath!
Where did they go?
Find them!
Maybe we're okay now.
I think Hayamiya and Muroto probably got away.
Yeah. In that case, we'll nab one of them and...
What was that?
Birdy Cephon, I won't let you interfere.
Who is this?!
Dammit!
Take this!
You're...
I am Ondine. I will kill you, Birdy Cephon.
She's...
Ow!
Who is that?!
I think she's...
You won't get away.
Here she comes!
Ow!
Are you okay, Birdy? She's crazy strong!
She's a genuine battle marionette. That's not Earth technology.
- You mean... - She's coming!
Even your Ixioran biodefense shield can't defend against this.
Die.
Birdy!
That's... enough!
Birdy, are you okay?
Ouch... She pulled out a bunch of my hair!
Birdy Cephon...
I see the quality of Federation inspectors has really gone down.
Where's your Marker?
Marker?
Don't play dumb! You're that Altan!
I have no idea what you mean.
That's my evidence!
What you need to do isn't to fight marionettes, it's to find the Ryunka.
I knew you were...
It looks like you don't even know what the Ryunka is.
As your compatriot, I'll give you one hint:
The Ryunka possesses people. It matures with people.
Shit... That hurts!
I won't let him go!
Give it up, Birdy. Your body's totally banged up!
And he seems tough.
Next time I see him, I'm gonna cream him!
She took down Ondine?
That bastard Gomez was talking a big game about her...
It wasn't her fault. Her opponent was too strong.
Oh, is she your friend? The "Federation investigator"?
Birdy the Berserker Killer? She's no friend of mine.
You're my only friend.
It's almost time. Before long, I'll be giving you the Ryunka.
Someone like you might be able to make full use of it.
You'd better believe I can.
What's she's doing here?
Birdy, switch with me.
Are you sure?
Hurry!
Ouch!
I told you it hurt.
That was an understatement!
Senkawa?
Nakasugi!
What's wrong?
Actually, what are you doing out here?
Where am I?!
On the mountain.
But I remember falling asleep in my room...
Why am I out on the mountain?
That's what I'd like to know.
Wait... did you come looking for me?
U-Um, something like that.
And you got hurt?!
Oh, this is nothing...
I'm sorry.
Anyway, let's go home. Everyone will be worried.
Yeah.
Just a little further. Hang in there.
I can't go on...
Must be nice to be young.
Yes. I apologize. Ondine was...
Yes.
There's no longer any need to leave her with Shyamalan.
Let's go! Have a good time!
A peaceful, happy cheek-to-cheek time for everybody
Put your hands, let's become one now
Come on, make some noise, clap your hands, slap slap!
Lift your hands, clap your hands, slap slap!
Everyone has their worries
Given they're neverending, what'll you do from here on out?
Live out the tight days without getting upset about it
Am I right, or am I right?
Everybody in the audience, lift your hands
Don't cry anymore; come on, lift your head
And show us your smile, okay?
Right now we're gonna forget all about the hard, painful, and sad stuff
C'mon baby, c'mon baby, everybody yeah yeah
Let's go! Have a new time!
Everybody give your best good smile with all you've got
Happy smile, everything'll become one now
Let's go! Have a new world!
Don't worry, I won't let go of your hand
I know it'll help you get through the future
Let's go! Have a good time!
A peaceful, happy cheek-to-cheek time for everybody
Put your hands, let's become one now
Let's go! Have a good time!
A peaceful, happy cheek-to-cheek time for everybody
Put your hands, let's become one now
Shion Arita here, yessiree!
There was a lot of trouble at Nakasugi's vacation house!
Plus, now Tsutomu and Birdy are worried about Nakasugi, yessiree!
So, would you believe it?
On the last day of summer break, Tsutomu's going on a date with her!
Whoa-ho-ho!
Tsutomu's filled with happiness.
And yet, and yet, what should happen next but...
Yessiree!
