Original subtitles

Now please tell me the truth.

What really happened to Mikey? Is he alive?

No idea.

I haven't even seen him since you left.

So he's just been gone?

Missing for over a decade?

I'm sorry I lied. I didn't want it to sour everything else you had going for you.

And don't blame Chifuyu, okay?

I practically had to beg him to play along with this.

But listen.

Yeah?

Don't go trying to look him up or nothing.

Huh?

You won't like it.

Last time I saw him, before he took off...

I don't know. He just wasn't himself anymore.

Sorry to bug you with this.

Please, it's the least I can do.

You know that.

Here's the file on Bonten.

And you were on the right track.

It's almost the same kind of organization that Toman was.

Bonten is Japan's largest active criminal empire.

Gambling, fraud, prostitution, murder.

And that's just what we know about.

They're suspected of more, but there's never enough hard evidence.

Even the police don't have a full picture.

BONTEN

They far surpass Tokyo Manji in both their ruthlessness and sheer scale.

And sitting at the top is a young man with white hair.

White hair? Izana?

Not him. Izana Kurokawa has been dead for over a decade.

No. Their leader is...

the Invincible Mikey.

He jumped from Tokyo Manji to Bonten.

It's Manjiro Sano.

Let these traitors feel Bonten's iron fist!

Shh! Shh! Shh!

Listen, yo. Boss has got something to say.

Execute 'em.

BONTEN NUMBER 2 HARUCHIYO SANZU

If you can't turn with the cogs of Bonten,

you ain't nothin' but junk for the scrapyard!

BONTEN NUMBER 3 KAKUCHO

Clean that before it stains.

BONTEN ADMIN KANJI MOCHIZUKI

We'll freeze the bodies and crush 'em up for fish food.

BONTEN ADMIN RAN HAITANI

BONTEN ADMIN RINDO HAITANI

BONTEN ADMIN HAJIME KOKONOI

Let this be a lesson, gentlemen.

Never betray Bonten.

BONTEN ADVISOR TAKEOMI AKASHI

Either we stand together,

or you die alone.

BONTEN BOSS MANJIRO SANO

No. Are you absolutely sure that it's Mikey?

It's him. There's no question.

Mikey?

Thanks to you, we are now entering an era where we're sitting at the top.

Which is why this is the perfect time to end things.

From this day forward, the Tokyo Manji Gang is disbanded!

FIRST GENERATION LEADER RECKLESS MANJI HOOLIGAN GANG

If we wanna change the future, isn't this is the best way?

The same Mikey who disbanded Toman,

who broke up his family because he thought we were capable of more?

- That Mikey? - Takemitchy.

You don't have to worry.

I promise that until we meet again,

I'll protect everyone in Toman, and I'll keep Hina safe too.

There's no way.

Mikey wouldn't go down that road. He just wouldn't.

Do you somehow have information that I lack?

Better say so.

No, I don't know, but there's just no way...

I understand that you want to believe that.

I'll speak to him myself.

Takemichi, I need you to realize how dangerous that would be.

Listen, you're underestimating the difference a decade makes.

Your Manjiro Sano... that guy doesn't exist anymore.

I don't know. He just wasn't himself anymore.

Give me your hand.

- I need to go back. - Say what?

You can't be serious.

I am. I'll go back before he changed, and I'll find out why.

That's not gonna happen!

My sister is alive.

That's what we set out to do, and we did it, and we're done!

You and Manjiro Sano barely even knew each other in the first place.

You really wanna risk everything for him now?

We all moved on. You can do it too.

Be with my sister and be happy!

Naoto...

You're someone I look up to, Takemitchy.

If it weren't for him...

if I had never known him, I wouldn't be who I am today.

Naoto...

I'll come right back. I swear.

Fine.

But make it quick, all right?

I'm not kidding.

You got it. Thank you.

Yeah, yeah. I just can't win with you.

Okay... so we shook hands, but I didn't Time Leap?

What gives?

I wonder.

What? What is it?

Why would that happen?

I'm not sure,

but it's possible that it's my fault.

- I like things the way they are now. - Huh?

Maybe if there's nothing I particularly want to change,

then I just can't trigger it anymore.

Hard to confirm it, of course,

but it makes enough sense to make me think so.

What if my role is all of this is simply finished?

No.

That can't be.

PET SHOP XJ LAND

Wait, really?

So you can't leap through time anymore at all?

Seems like.

That's wild.

I mean, I guess we did save Hina, so...

I mean, you know, it makes sense.

Chifuyu, do you... do you know how I could get a hold of Mikey?

I just wanna talk to him.

You were here for it. What happened?

Why'd he go off the rails again?

And right after I left to come back, no less.

Bet that's pretty weird.

From your perspective, he was regular old Mikey just yesterday, wasn't he?

And at the time, I didn't get the sense he'd just...

I can't tell you much more than you already know.

He took off, and we all looked for him.

But it really felt like he didn't want anyone to find him.

Just ready to be free, I guess.

And if I know Mikey, I know he must have found his own path.

He made his own choice.

So, to honor that, I decided that I was gonna do the same.

Chifuyu...

We're not little kids anymore, you know?

We're all grown-ass men,

and your path is about to lead you straight down the aisle with Hina,

so lock in, partner. You got it?

Maybe Chifuyu's right.

If I can't Time Leap anymore,

there's really nothing I can do about it anyway.

And even if I could go back, there's no way I can guarantee

that I wouldn't accidentally screw up

everyone else's happy ending here in the present.

Yeah. Lock in.

We're both adults now.

What he does is none of my business.

And yet...

I can't turn my back on him.

Oh... Kazutora?

When you're stuck in prison,

time freezes for you the instant you arrive there.

I came back to a world without Toman, without Mikey.

And everyone is acting like that's normal.

I'm like Rip Van Winkle.

Of course, that's also how I can tell you

that Mikey hasn't changed.

I've never known him to be the kind of guy to reach out for help.

He tries to carry everything alone.

True. He does.

Which is why I get the impression this isn't something he chose.

So if you want a hand, I'm ready to roll.

Hell yeah! We can track him down ourselves.

Where do you wanna start? Find the old crew?

Sounds good.

Yeah. So what if I can't go back?

We can just look for Mikey here, in the present.

If nothing else, be nice to see him.

No matter how long it takes...

Let's do this!

JUNE 18, 2018

Still haven't heard a single word.

It's been two and a half months.

I'm starting to wonder if he's even alive.

But we're not exactly flush with leads on the other members either.

I know. It's probably too risky to keep pushing.

Please tell the other Mizo Mids the same.

Nah. Don't worry. Yamagishi's doing this 'cause he wants to.

Wait. You're not giving up, are you?

No.

I don't care how long it takes me, I'll find him if it's the last thing I do.

After everything I've been through, I know one thing for sure.

As long as I don't give up, it'll all work out somehow.

HAKKAI

What's up, what's up? I just landed in Tokyo.

Oh, cool. Welcome back.

The day is finally here.

What? What day?

- Come on! Tomorrow's June 19th, buddy. - Okay.

It's time capsule day. Did you forget?

MARCH 15, 2006

So, what'd you bury?

If I told you, then it would ruin the fun, idiot.

Twelve years, huh? That's a long way off.

I feel like we'll forget what we put in today.

Yeah, exactly. That's the best part of a time capsule.

Mark it on your calendars.

Twelve years from now on June 19th, on Toman's founding day,

I wanna see you all back here.

JUNE 19, 2018

We waited for hours, but Mikey never showed.

Not that it was any big surprise.

Well, nothing for it then.

How about we get digging?

Man, talk about cold-blooded, right?

Not a word from him in ten years,

and he can't even bother to come to the reunion he set up.

Quit yappin' and grab that shovel.

Come on, I wanna see what all you guys put in there.

Yeah, I don't have a clue.

- Do you remember, Taka? - Kinda.

No way! My boy's mind's like a steel trap!

Okay, let's do this.

Whoa! Blast from the past.

Huh. A book on planes.

Yeah, I used to want to be a pilot. Dreamt about it all the time.

Li'l boy wanna fly?

You dick! What do you want from me? We were literally children.

Like you were so cool and suave and realistic at 14!

Look, man, all I'm saying is, don't be surprised.

HAKKAI SHIBA IN 12 YEARS WILL YOU BE AN ASTRONAUT?

Are you for real? And you thought mine was childish.

I mean, best path to outer space is to not even try.

Well, then why don't we open yours up, Taka?

Because you were so uncringe, let's see it.

This was in mine.

Oh, no frickin' way, dude.

How far into high school did you have to sleep with a stuffy?

Shut your mouth!

"To future me, don't forget where you started." Huh.

We were really poor growing up,

so I couldn't buy Luna and Mana the toys I though they deserved.

This is the first stuffed animal I ever made for them.

Wow.

This is what got me into sewing, and before too long,

I got it into my head somehow

that it might be fun to make a living making clothes.

Nice to see that I've improved.

You know, I used to resent it, but being poor made me who I am.

The learning, the growth...

PROFESSIONAL SILKY HAIR - STRAIGHT

Hey, listen to this, "Hey, chick magnet,

here's to keep your hair flowing all silky while you pump it at the hose club."

Can you believe that? What's with the perm solution?

Really? You always wanted silky straight hair, didn't you?

I HOPE SMILEY AND I ARE DOING HONEST, GOOD WORK TOGETHER.

SOUYA

Whoa, Angry just cracked a smile!

"To Pah-chin.

You've been in juvie six months, half a year,

and I've had a hole in my heart every day you've been gone.

Please get out soon so we can go raise hell again.

Ryohei Hayashi."

"PS, I'm also throwing in that nudie mag you love so much."

This is the best day of my life!

Well, let's not let your wife hear you say that, okay, buddy?

I'm the luckiest SOB on earth.

Oh...

Draken, what did you put in yours?

FIRST GENERATION TOKYO MANJI

- This. - The day Toman disbanded?

"To my future self.

Ken Ryuguji.

You doing okay?

You still love bikes?

Are you married yet?

Do you have any kids?

How's Mikey? Still dragging you around everywhere?

It hit me that I'm at a crossroads.

Toman is disbanding.

I said in front of my friends, my brothers,

that I had no objection to that decision.

I wish I hadn't.

Toman was everything to me,

and I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I raged.

I cried.

And... I know for a fact that Mikey suffered more."

"So I'm leaving all my regrets behind, here and now, forever.

When you're old and on the straight and narrow,

you can forget everything else about who you were as a kid.

But don't you dare forget

you had Emma by your side.

Always did.

And still do."

All right, if he's not gonna do it himself...

TO ME MANJIRO SANO

...I say we open his too.

We should write letters to our future selves.

Moment of truth.

Maybe Mikey left a clue about where he is now.

Or what he was really thinking when he said what he said that day.

"To my future self, Manjiro Sano.

Twelve years from now,

I wonder what I'll be doing.

I can't even imagine it."

I figure Mitsuya's gone into fashion.

I'll be stunned if he hasn't.

He's probably working in some stylish boutique

cranking out a bunch of sick clothes.

And I'm sure Hakkai's doing something in a similar industry.

He loves Mitsuya way too much not to.

Pah-chin's definitely taken over his old man's real estate business.

- Whoa... - Yeah, he always looked up to him.

And Peh-yan's gonna be right there with him.

Can't have one of them without the other.

As for Smiley, man, he's a bit out there,

so he's gonna be up to something crazy.

But as long as Angry's got his back, he'll be fine.

I'm the only one who gets roasted?

Only one fate for Kenny. A bike shop.

I would bet my life on it.

I know that dude better than anyone.

- Chifuyu will honor Baji. - Hmm?

I don't know how, but I know he'll do something to remember him by.

"Takemitchy.

If you haven't made Hina happy yet, I'm gonna kill you myself.

But I'm not folding Toman just for the two of you.

It's for all of us.

It's time for us to grow up, and the things we need to do that

won't be found here, so get out there, find what's waiting for you.

I'm heading out on that same search myself,

and we may never see each other again."

You sure? Today's June 19th. You have time.

No. It's fine.

"But remember, that doesn't really matter,

because no matter how far apart we are, we're still connected."

You know, I kinda like that idea.

Guess that's a normal part of growing up in the end.

"Get out there and find what's waiting for you."

Yeah. and that's one journey that'll last the rest of your life.

You know, I'm really glad I came today.

I almost skipped out 'cause of Mikey.

Been feeling weird about it.

But it's good to know that, even apart,

he's definitely thinking about us somewhere.

Yeah. That's a good point.

And as long as we're thinking of him, we can all stay connected.

Maybe forcing a search for Mikey was kind of pointless after all.

Even if we are all scattered, our hearts are still one.

All right, onward and upward!

TAKEMICHI HANAGAKI

Did you seriously all take off before I opened mine?

You guys suck! I forgot too, whatever.

Let's see here.

"May everyone find happiness."

That's it?

Maybe it's better no one was here for that.

Heck is this? A videotape?

Did I put this in here?

PETIT - #3 "THE GREAT DOG AND CAT ESCAPE PLAN!"

Fairy Tale Revengers.

Hey, hanging in there?

Those jerks. Languishing in luxury while they make us do all the hard labor.

Hey.

You two, go into town and don't come back without some dough.

Wait a second...

A chance to escape?

Chopping wood is fine, but it doesn't bring in all that much,

so try to think of something else to do while you're at it.

- Are you sure? - But that's our speciality!

And I'm itching to get started.

Oh, yeah, so am I.

Good then. Put these on.

Huh?

These are long enough to reach all the way into town, no problem.

How long is this thing?

Can't have you disappearing on me. Not that you would, huh?

No, you wouldn't dare.

HIYAH! TO BE CONTINUED
