A NETFLIX ORIGINAL ANIME SERIES
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
THANK YOU TOKYO 2020 ENTIRE RECORD
Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on the seat belt sign.
Please securely fasten your seat belt.
Ms. Mutoh, have you been all right?
Yes. Thanks for asking.
We'll be landing
at Haneda International Airport in about 15 minutes.
Hey! Over here!
Mommy! Look! Birdies!
Oh, you're right. What cute birdies.
-Let's hear your voices! You can do it! -Keep it up!
-You can do it! -You can do it!
"I'll represent my country in four years!"
That needs to be your attitude in practice!
Four years...
That's a long way off.
-Leg two, Sato. -Okay!
-Leg three, Nakayama. -Okay!
-The anchor will be our ace, Mutoh. -Okay.
I plan on winning the 400-meter relay at the next track meet with this team.
Ayumu, I swear I'll be in the lead when I hand you the baton.
Good.
The meet is coming up soon, so no goofing around.
Prepare yourselves by improving your weaknesses
and making sure you're in top...
Is this an earthquake?
Stay calm, everyone!
Is this an earthquake?
-It's really shaking. -Don't worry. It'll be fine.
That was massive.
-Has it stopped? -No, not yet.
It's still shaking!
That's a long one.
You okay up there?
Is anyone hurt down there?
We're fine down here!
I'm okay too!
Are you okay, Mr. Mutoh?
That was pretty scary.
I think I'll give them a call.
Shoot! I left my phone down below.
Don't be a wuss, Mutoh!
That was only about a four, man!
Okay, call it quits today after these lights are installed!
-Roger! -Awesome!
An earthquake just hit Tokyo,
so our landing will be delayed while the runway gets inspected.
An emergency stop button was pressed, so the rails are being checked.
-That was big. -It was.
I wonder where the epicenter was.
Do you think the trains have stopped?
Yes, I wonder.
That's the biggest one I've ever felt.
You're from Shikoku, right?
That's it for today's practice.
First, contact your family, then meet at the front gate
-after you've changed. -Okay!
WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM
That was my first earthquake!
I'm used to them.
I've heard Kanto gets earthquakes often.
That one was weird.
I can still use LINE.
Oh, they read it.
It looks like the trains have stopped. This sucks.
It says it was a weak five in Tokyo. That's pretty big.
No way! It was a seven in Okinawa!
Isn't seven the most powerful?
That's really crazy.
EARTHQUAKE WARNING
AN EARTHQUAKE HAS STRUCK. PREPARE FOR INTENSE SHAKING.
What? Another earthquake?
It's just an aftershock.
What's that sound?
Everything checks out. I think I'll call it quits too.
Help me...
Someone...
Hey, you guys!
If you're on the first floor when a big earthquake hits, run outside.
Understand?
Usually, on days when Mom comes home, we take the car and go out for dinner.
When we go for seafood, we go to the harbor.
If we know about a really good specialty restaurant,
we'll spend hours getting there if we have to.
I'm really fond of fresh, delicious food.
-The plane is damaged. -Lean forward.
-We'll land on the river. -Hands over your head!
Assume brace positions!
God, I hope everyone is safe!
-What's taking so long? -Please stay calm!
-I'm sorry. -Please calm down!
Get in one passenger at a time.
Excuse me.
-Don't push! -I have children!
I do too!
Hurry up and let us leave! Who knows when the plane will explode?
What the heck is that?
-It's a tsunami! -Get to land, everyone!
Daddy!
You'll be fine now.
You're in good hands.
I can't get through.
CAN'T CONNECT TO THE SERVER. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.
Where is everyone?
Pull yourself together!
They will surely all be at home!
My dad put a lot of work into designing our new house.
It gives me a lot of pride.
But since we illuminated the plants in the yard,
we've become famous in our neighborhood. It's embarrassing.
I'm glad I have a big window in my room.
At night, the curtains are lit up by colorful lights.
-Sanae! Miyuki! -Akira!
-Shiori!
-Madoka! -Hey! That's our space!
Is Go Mutoh here?
Go...
-That's ours! -You should share!
-So what? -Hey! That's not cool!
Is Koichiro Mutoh here?
Mommy!
-Is Mari Mutoh here? -Mommy!
Where is everyone?
-Over here! -Why did you...
Get over here!
Aren't those...
-Excuse me. -What?
Can I borrow your phone for--
Are you kidding? Don't be stupid!
What's that?
Those lights...
They're... I'm sure of it!
Dad!
Ayumu!
Ayumu! Thank God, you're all right.
You too, Dad. Have you found Go?
I went home, but he wasn't there.
He wasn't there when I went either.
-He's not at home, right? -Yes.
It's the same as our yard.
That's right. I won't shut them off until everyone gets here.
Good.
That was bigger than the Tohoku earthquake.
If it was this big in Tokyo,
it must be even worse in other prefectures.
Japan could be done for.
Koga...
Ayumu! I knew you'd be here!
Nanami!
Go!
Is that you, Ayumu?
What happened to your eyes?
I don't remember.
When I arrived at your house, he was bleeding from both eyes.
-Where's Mom? -I haven't seen her yet.
They may have turned back.
It's your eyelids that are cut, not your eyes.
Thank goodness.
That's a video gamer for you.
Thanks to your great reflexes,
you avoided what could have easily been worse.
Don't move.
That's cool! They're like piercings!
-Are you nuts? -Ayumu!
Your optimistic way of speaking is just like your mother.
What? I am not like her!
Is being like me such a bad thing?
Mari!
Mom!
Welcome back. Are you all right?
Yes, I'll be fine.
Thank goodness, you're all right.
This is a heck of a homecoming.
Yes.
But we're all together and alive, so I'll count my blessings.
Hey, everyone.
Let's take a photo now that we're together.
Now?
I don't want a picture of me like this.
They're cool! They're like piercings!
Come on, Nanami and Haruo. Join us for the photo.
I'll take it.
Here goes.
Say "cheese"!
Thank you.
Perfect!
This will make for a great family photo.
Thank you.
I should have taken photos with my family too.
Your hometown is Fukuoka, isn't it, Nanami?
That's right.
Nanami and Haruo, I'm sure you'll see your family again.
I guarantee it.
I'm sure we will too.
Hey! We're getting a signal!
-You're right! -Really?
Say, Ayumu.
Do you have a phone?
Sure. Here.
Thank you.
I forgot my smartphone.
Me too.
I don't know how, but I lost that and my coat.
It's too bad you don't have that either.
It's so hot, you don't need one.
-Ayumu? -Are you okay, Ayumu?
What's the matter?
I left behind everyone on my team.
What?
They were all injured,
but I couldn't do anything.
I just ran away.
I did the same.
No, it's not the same!
Even after all that happened,
I still had my smartphone.
Ayumu.
Without it, I couldn't contact anyone!
I knew I'd need it!
I know.
Thanks to that, Nanami could contact her family.
I'm...
so heartless.
No matter what happened,
I'm just happy that you're alive.
What's happening?
It's a helicopter!
Did they fall from that?
Something is hanging off it!
Holy crap!
What the hell is going on?
What's that?
