Now listen, yo!
People put your guns up
First I'll run dat
Run around and shoot them
Brand new sound, yes still survival
Here comes the sound boy, live in this world
Intelligence, strength, and luck are swirling, flow
My swelled mind is candid
One punch to Banner in Savannah
An easy knockout, bam bam bam
One time for your mind, live through this
Around the world
It haunts me, the pain of the past
Around the noble god are borrowed things
When the seed that's sown flowers, whose is it
Live and fire the arrow of faith, more more more
There is no peace where you're going
Come on, stand up, don't give up the fight
Now, yes, this instant, die die die
Big shooter, living fast, blazing
Beat you up, cut it open, break
Shot shooter, he lived fast, crazy
Adjust your sights at point-blank range, break
Big shooter, living fast, blazing
Beat you up, cut it open, break
Shot shooter, he lived fast, crazy
Adjust your sights at point-blank range, break
It's the Beginning of a Brand New Day
If AC equals one, then BC equals the square root of three, and AB equals two.
Also, BA equals DB, and BD equals two.
And since triangle BAD is an isosceles triangle, its base angles are equal.
So BDA equals BAD.
Therefore, BDA equals one hundred eighty degrees minus ABD divided by two,
which equals one hundred eighty degrees...
Ma'am!
Yes?
Kurono's got a hard on!
Kurono, you're such a horndog!
Is that all you can think about?
Shut up! What are you...
I do not!
Then try standing up!
Settle down! We're in the middle of class!
Kurono...
Yes?
Save that for when you get home, will you?
Go sleep somewhere else, you lazy bum!

Oh, man, you have got to be kidding me.
Hey, you, wait!
Damn! That's the third time this has happened! That bastard!
Furuta Books Damn! That's the third time this has happened! That bastard!
Furuta Books Honey, keep an eye on the store for me!
Furuta Books Come back, you!
Furuta Books
The third time?
Your attention please.
Aw, man, how much longer is it gonna keep on raining?
We are currently experiencing major delays due to the heavy precipitation. Aw, man, how much longer is it gonna keep on raining?
We are currently experiencing major delays due to the heavy precipitation. Twenty-three hundred yen? What a rip!
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience. Twenty-three hundred yen? What a rip!
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience. Damn! His office is gonna close at five!
I know he's just gonna lock himself up in there and hide.
What am I going to do? At this rate, my husband will get home before me.
C'mon! You've got to be kidding me! Tonight I'm supposed to score.
Like, bummer! If I don't hurry, Ryosuke'll go home!
That means we won't be able to have sex today either!
Sorry to bother you, young man. May I ask you something?
Is this the right platform for Hinodedai?
Aw, man! Couldn't you ask someone else?
I don't think this is it, but it's too much of a pain to explain.
Yeah, this is it.
I see. Thank you very much.
Oh, jeez, not a wino. Go get a job.
Ewww, gross!
I'd better make sure I'm not stuck in the same car as him.
Stupid bum, boozing in the middle of the day. Ain't that rich.
Jeez, man, you reek! I'll shove you onto the tracks if you're not careful!
What da hell you lookin' at?
I wasn't put here for yer amusement!
Excuse me. This seems to be the wrong platform.
Hey, old lady, you should try figuring it out yourself,
instead of relying on others to do it for you.
I'm sorry.
I may not look the type, but I actually have a low opinion of others.
That guy and lady over there...
Even if they live a long time, they can't be thinking about anything deep.
And these kids? They're even worse.
They're a bunch of airheads. I just know it.
I'd better stay away from someone like him.
I'm not even gonna consider him.
Hey, Kato! You slowpoke!
Kei!
Kei, wait for me!
It's him! Masaru Kato!
I'm pretty sure of it.
He vaguely looks like the kid I knew from elementary school.
I heard he's turned into quite a punk since he switched schools.
I bet he doesn't even remember me.
We used to play together a lot. I probably played with him the most.
But now look at him. He looks like a thug.
Hey, are you all right?
A man's fallen onto the tracks.
Oh, that hurts...
What happened to him? Oh, that hurts...
He was staggering and fell. Oh, that hurts...
C'mon, get up!
Uh-oh, he's in for it now. It's because he's drunk.
The station attendant's not coming, and no one's gonna go down and help him.
The platform's wet because of the rain, and he must've slipped.
Somebody hurry up and call the station attendant!
Oh, no, I wish someone would help him.
He's a lost cause.
Wow, I've never seen someone fall on the tracks before!
I'm gonna e-mail Ryosuke and tell him about it!
Owww...
Helping him would be the humane thing to do, but...
I'm sure someone else will do it. I've got my mortgage to pay back.
Lf...
no one helps him...
we'll...
probably get to see a human body...
get torn apart.
Outside of the movies, I've never seen a man get torn apart before.
I guess even a punk like him gets scared to see people die.
Come to think of it, even back then, he was such a chicken.
All right, that does it!
What the...
You've gotta be out of your mind!
Trying to act cool, huh? What an idiot!
What do you think you can do on your own?
A kid's on the tracks.
What the hell is he doing? He's gonna die!
Oh, gosh! Both of them could get ripped to shreds!
That boy who went to save him is kind of cute.
Come on, man! Get up!
Somebody! Come down here and give me a hand!
Where the hell is the station attendant?! Didn't somebody get him?
Somebody ran to get him. He should be here any second.
Come on, people! Are you just gonna watch us get killed?
Gimme a break, he's just a bum!
Who the hell's gonna help you, stupid?!
Hey, come on, you're the one who's crazy here.
Kei?
Hey, come on now! You expect ME to go?
Kei, it's you, right?
Hey, no fair! Wait a minute! What are you all staring at me for?
One of you go!
What are you waiting for? Get going!
Go on, he's your friend!
Hurry up!
Jeez, why am I down here? What am I doing this for?
Am I happy he remembered me?
Get down.
I said, get down!
Good, looks like I don't have to go down there.
You've just signed your death sentences, kids.
He reeks!
This is NOT good!
Hurry!
Where the hell's the station attendant?
The next train is arriving at platform two shortly.
Please step behind the white line.
Come on, stand up!
I know, I know!
I feel so sick I can't muster up the strength.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Pull him up, Kato!
That's what I'm doing, so stand up! Now!
Oh, shit! The train's coming!
I'm gonna puke...
Come on, you two! Climb up! Now!
Hey, run!
We're done for!
How's running gonna help?
Trains slow down as they reach the station!
Just run beyond the point where the first car stops!
Oh, yeah! I didn't think of that!
Good luck!
We still have a chance! We'll be okay! Good luck!
We still have a chance! We'll be okay!
Kato! Lose the bag!
Drop your belongings!
I have to take this umbrella with me!
What?! This isn't the time to be worrying about that!
It's my kid brother. He doesn't have an umbrella at school!
I have to bring this to him!
Well, anyway, lose the bag! We're gonna die!
All right already!
The express train bound for Hinodedai will be passing shortly.
For your safety, please stay behind the white line.
Express?! Only local trains...
Stop at this station!
Oh jeez, I can't believe it! The last thing I bought was a girlie mag!
I'll make sure you get your umbrella, Ayumu!
Kei, are you all right?
Hell no!
I'm gonna die!
I'm scared! I'm scared to die!
An opening! Look for an opening! There's gotta be one!
I don't see one, man!
No way! I know, I'll take a picture!
They're not gonna make it!
What's going on?
Kato...
What is that?!
Gross!
That's what you get for helping a bum!
Oh, come on! Quit taking pictures!
What the hell are you looking at?
This isn't a show!
Just shut up already! There's nothing to scream about!
Well, if this is the way it's gotta be...
Here are some more.
Did you see that?! Their heads flew off!
Their heads?!
No way! Their heads?!
No way!
Get outta here!
Hey, you! Those two high school boys are dead! They died to save you!
Aw, man! What a mess!
Did you two almost die too?
What the hell is going on here?
I don't know how, but... Look! We made it!
What do you mean, look?!
You didn't make it.
Just shut up.
This is Heaven. We're all dead.
Speak for yourself, geezer!
Well, that's one possible theory.
Until only a moment ago, I was in the hospital, fighting with cancer.
Now it doesn't even hurt anymore. How do you explain that?
Dead? That can't be.
My heart's beating! And I'm breathing too!
Hey, wait.
Wait a sec! Look!
That's Tokyo Tower!
Tokyo? We're in Tokyo?!
I can't touch it!
What do you mean, you can't touch it?
No way! What's going on?!
It won't open, or rather, we can't even touch the wall.
If we could leave this room, we wouldn't be sitting here like this.
Even our cell phones don't work.
You've gotta be kidding!
What about making noise? So the neighbors can hear us?
There was no response.
The front door's no good either!
Where are they? I don't see anything.
Well, over there somewhere.
There isn't even any blood.
But their heads flew clean off, right?
I even took pictures of their heads flying off, but they don't show up.
But both their bags are here.
This is...
Everyone, may I have your attention?
Let's all introduce ourselves.
Start with your name and occupation, and how you died.
Stuff it! You sound like a teacher or something.
That's because I am a teacher.
I'm Masashi Yamada. I teach first grade at Nerima Higashi Elementary.
I was riding my scooter when I got into an accident.
Okay, let's start with you.
Why me?
Kei Kurono, tenth grader. I died...
Even though I don't think I'm actually dead!
Because of him.
That's right. It's all his fault.
Yeah, you're right, Kei. I'm sorry.
I thought you helped me because you wanted to.
Who would want to?
Your introduction...
Masaru Kato, a train ran me over.
A train ran you over, my ass.
Are you even sorry for what you did? You really piss me off!
Hey, I think I know this guy.
Next.
Please. Next.
Please.
Goro Suzuki.
He's a politician or something. I've seen him on TV.
You may have heard of me.
Okay, next.
I pass. Go on to the next person.
C'mon, introduce yourself!
You're making me look like an idiot for behaving myself!
Can I bum some smokes off anyone?
You look like a girl!
Joichiro Nishi, eighth grader. I fell.
Oh, this kid's spooky.
Why is he staring at me? Creepy.
So, no one's got any cigarettes?
Okay, next...
Er, next... please.
He's a yakuza, and so am I. Enough said.
Okay, anyone else?
I guess that's it.
Hey, Kei, there's something different about you.
Yeah?
I could say the same about you.
You used to be more aggressive.
Sharp, like you were afraid of nothing. You were our leader.
Oh, really?
When was this?
Oh, man, this is embarrassing! Cut it out!
Did something happen?
You're different too, you know.
Remember how we used to play tag all the time?
Yeah.
You ran so fast.
Whether you were running away or chasing us, you were amazing!
You'd jump down an entire flight of stairs.
Enough already!
There was this one time...
It was so cool. I don't remember why, but...
You were being chased by all the tough kids from school.
You jumped off the footbridge and actually landed on the roof of a passing truck.
I remember thinking then...
I want to be like you.
See, I'm not so smart, so I go to the school all the punks go to.
So I tried to be like you.
Gimme a break!
So you're telling me it's my fault you turned out like this?
Hey, Kei, what's that?
What the hell is that?
Here comes another one!
A girl?
Maybe.
Did we come here this way too?
Kei?
Shut up!
This is NOT good! Now I've got a hard on.
I think I might post these on the net later.
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
I don't think you should be doing that.
No... I just...
You just what, stupid?!
Kei!
Look. There's blood on her wrists, but there are no cuts.
A bathtub suicide...
Is she alive?
I think she is.
Hey, you don't have to listen to her heartbeat!
You could check her pulse at her wrist!
You're right.
Anyway, we should get her off him.
What? But I didn't... I mean...
Yoo-hoo!
What? What's going on?
What's with her? Does she think this is a dream?
All of you stay here!
Stay here? What are you doing?
I have a pretty good idea, but...
You're shitting me.
He never ceases to amaze me.
So you had cigarettes after all.
Just because I know I should doesn't mean I could help her.
I want to, but...
Who could possibly do that?
Oh yeah, one of them's right here.
Right!
Hey, you better not...
It's hard to find such a brave young man these days.
So why don't you help her?
I have cancer. I couldn't possibly fight a yakuza.
Stop it!
What the... I'll fucking kill you!
Let go!
Stop it!
I'll fucking kill you! Stop it!
I'll fucking kill you!
You fucking idiot!
Stop... please...
Outta my way!
Stop it!
If you stop, I'll let you go!
If not, I'll just keep you here like this!
Hey! You're gonna kill him if you keep that up!
Say it! Say, "I won't do this again!"
Say it, I said!
Man, he's scary.
What's that?
It's the beginning of a brand new day
A day filled with hope
Open your heart to happiness
Outta my way! Open your heart to happiness
Outta my way! And look up at the big, blue sky
Listen to the voice on the radio
And fill your lungs
With the fragrant air
What's that? With the fragrant air
What's that? One! Two! Three! Let's go!
Your lives are now over, you bastards.
What you do with your new lives is for me to decide.
So there you have it.
We all start out as pure and innocent babes
Even if you taste the bitter fruit, don't be discouraged, walk straight
I know it's in the past, but the rain still stings
I'm lonely as floating ice
I kiss your thin finger
And remember you crying
Even if this is the end
I won't forget your last kiss
I won't forget
I won't forget his kiss
Do you remember who you once were?
The Green onions Do you remember who you once were?
The Green onions When the darkness spawns monsters on a residential street,
the people they're after snarl at them, shout, fight, and get deeply wounded.
Would your old self have been able to face the fangs of darkness?
