Original subtitles

Tokyo.

Its people, its colors,

its contours

are now just a hazy memory.

How could I remember

what I took for granted?

I could always see it with my own eyes.

Dragon Head

Teru, catch!

Discipline, young man!

Open up!

Hello?

Hey!

Anybody?

Hey!

Hey!

Somebody!

Am I the only one?

They're all dead?

You're alive.

Thank God!

I'm Aoki Teru from Class Five.

You are?

What happened?

I'm totally confused.

The "end".

Eh? What is?

I said it's the end.

End of what?

Morikawa, Kato and Hirata.

Serves them right.

All of them killed by the red light.

Everything's changed.

I'll have you know that I've changed too.

What are you talking about?

Did anyone else survive?

What do you think?

Take a good look around.

That's stupid.

Seconds ago, you were whining.

So don't give me any crap.

The dining car?

Do you think they'll come soon?

Who?

Help. The rescue squad.

They won't come.

Of course they will!

If they don't, we won't make it!

The food will spoil in this heat!

Stop being so damn negative!

But it's true.

Get out!

I said get the hell out!

Now, take it easy.

Don't think you can push me around!

Okay, just take it easy.

Get out!

Beat it!

That guy's nuts!

Who's there?

You're hurt?

He's... he's crazy!

What?

Nobuo. You saw him, didn't you?

I had to get away from him.

Hey, listen?

Did anyone else survive?

Do you know what happened?

As soon as we entered the tunnel, there was a huge boom.

Right before that, some guys had locked Nobuo up in the toilet.

It saved his life!

Takahashi?

Teacher!

Teacher, help me!

Help me, please!

Nobuo? Help...

It hurts.

Please!

I need help!

You're the adult here?

You're in charge, arent you?

You're supposed to help me!

Please... help.

Help you?

Why should I?

You sat there doing nothing

while they beat me!

So shut your trap!

You're supposed to help me! Help me!!

You don't know this, but

I can dish it out too.

It's time for a little payback!

Take that!

Who's pathetic now?

You're normal, right?

Yeah.

Well?

You are? Really?!

I think so.

Thanks!

That guy's nuts

going on about red lights.

Red lights?

Yeah.

What in God's name happened?

An earthquake?

Outside, they should be searching for us by now.

Right? Don't you think?

We need to treat that wound.

Where're you going?

To find some disinfectant.

We have to hang on until help comes.

This is madness!

Seto Ako?

You're alive.

Come here!

I'm sorry, Nobuo. I am!

This way!

Please!

Come see my new home?

Stop! You're hurting me!

We've got to get along.

We're all friends here!

What're you doing?

Well?

We've got to embrace the darkness.

Stop babbling nonsense!

You saw them too? The red lights...

What's with you and red lights?

You didn't see them, then?

The red flash in the windows?

Bright red?

No.

It's not just the tunnel.

We're the only survivors

anywhere.

We're all that's left.

Our only choice is to live here!

We can't survive in here!

It's too hot!

The food will rot! What about water?

No problem.

What do you mean?

It is a problem!

It's a very big problem!

You've totally flipped!

Go ahead and live here then!

When help arrives, go hide!

I told you, nobody's coming.

You don't know shit, do you?

Shut up!

Hey! The radio!

I heard a voice!

It's all over!

Stop it! Please!

I'm a lot stronger now.

Shut up!

I'm not listening to you!

You're a fool! A weak fool!

He'll be all right.

Hey, get up. Hurry!

In here! Quick!

We're leaving!

We can't wait for help to arrive.

I warned you.

I'm not a pushover anymore.

What'll we do?

The roof!

What?

We'll climb up to it.

How?

Hurry!!

You okay?

Let's go.

Wait!

Are you serious?

We have no choice!

But my knee hurts!

I'll pull you up!

I'm too scared!

Stay behind with him, then! See if I care!

I'm going home.

Wait! Stop!

We found an exit!

Stop it!

Teru!

Stop it!

Teru, don't!

Wow, you almost had me there!

Let go! I made this myself!

Who cares about that?

Stop it!

Shut up and get moving!

Don't go! This is the only safe haven left!

What's safe about it? Open your damn eyes!

Please stop!

Let's go!

Hurry up!

No, I'm scared!

Teru?

I can't. I can't!

Hurry up!

I'm scared!

I said hurry up!

Nobuo!

Come on! Come on!

Hurry up!

Teru!

Sato-san! Sato-san!

Move it!

Where's my souvenir?

How was the trip?

Did you like Kyoto?

Hey!

Look!

An exit?

What is this? What's all this white stuff?

That isn't the sky, is it?

Is that the sky?

Teru! Wait up!

Wait!

Where are we?

What is this place?

Shut up! Don't ask so many damn questions.

If you don't know, how in the hell should l?

You don't have to be such a jerk about it!

I'm just confused, all right?

My knee and throat are killing me!

Damn it! What's happened?

Somebody tell me; what the hell do we do now?

I need a doctor for this.

And some water, and food

And a bath!

Why do we have to go through this?

Maybe Nobuo was right after all!

Then maybe you should've listened to him!

Whatire you doing?

Going to look for food and water

And survivors.

But?

You heard the radio, right?

It could've been just static.

We can't stay here!

Just leave me alone! Forget about me!

We walked for days through the white ash.

Days.

Hello!

Anyone?

Hello!

Sato-san.

There's no water, is there?

We've got to embrace the darkness.

Here!

Sato-san! Here's some tea!

Thank you.

A town.

Huh?

I wonder what's become of Tokyo?

If we return

and there's nobody?

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Teru, what's wrong?

Are you alright?

Oh, hello. Excuse us, but?

We were, um?

On a train in a tunnel when

We had an accident!

When did all this happen?

We don't know anything!

What happened here?

How unlucky.

You should've come a few days later.

Just think of it

as bad luck.

What are you doing?

Let go!

We decided to end it all!

We had no choice!

The young ones resisted.

What else could we do

Except pretend that none of it ever happened?

It'll hurt more if you move.

Well are you going to attack or what?!

You two, get out of here!

Kill them!

What? What is all this?

How did things come to this?

People killing each other?

Saying it had to be.

Everyone went mad.

Pretend it never happened, they said.

Pretend it never happened.

Pretend it never happened.

Pretend it never...

What happened here?

Hell if I know!

Just as I thought. The dragon's pulse is irregular.

Dragon's pulse?

What does that mean?

I'll tell you!

It's an underground artery for magma

disrupted by tectonic activity!

Volcanoes?

What the hell else could it be?

It screwed up the magnetic field!

What?

Okay, look.

The Earth is like one big monster magnet!

A shift in the earth's crust

upsets the Earth's magnetic balance.

Oddly enough, one result is that it wreaks neurological havoc

on all living things!

Screw that!

You mean?

It drives people mad?

Uh-huh!

Affirmative!

He's borderline, too?

Your problem is you don't listen!

Look what they did to our comrades,

Massacred for no reason whatsoever!

It pisses the hell out of me!

Average citizens attacking the peacekeepers there to protect them.

We're all that's left!

You enjoyed using this, though?

Screw you!

Insanity everywhere!

Everywhere?!

It's like this everywhere?

Tokyo too?

The more people there are, the faster panic spreads.

Blame magnetism if you like.

Up yours!

It's all Nature's fault!

You can't blame people for that.

I've heard many rumors.

An earthquake set off a few nukes?

A huge meteor hit?

A fiery dragon?

Judgement Day?

You don't buy that?

Too preposterous?

Damn right!

So mankind was mad even before the magnetic field went haywire?

For millennia!

This much is certain!

The world is a much different place than you thought.

That's it.

Nature's mystery runs deeper than you could ever imagine!

Vanished!

Very odd!

All this work for nothing.

Where are we?

Her husband did this!

What did he do?

He was scared...

so he...

Your husband?

He wanted to protect...

the children's minds...

by removing their fear...

surgically.

Jesus!

Isn't anyone sane?

Anyone at all?

So he was a doctor.

I've heard of him.

Said he could remove the lobe that controls fear.

Please!

Those children won't mourn my passing.

Please ease my pain!

Don't!

It'll piss him off if I do it.

Do it!

She wants you to.

Kill me.

Do as she says!

Medicine! Find medicine!

Where you going?

Saved by the bell.

Why?

Your mother just died, you know?

You act like nothing happened!

Cry for her!

Your mother's gone!

Damn it! Say something!

Circumstance...

brought you two together?

So you stayed together, right?

But why?

You thought we would just save you for nothing?

Then why did you save us?

Because I saw some value in it.

What is this?

Stick out your tongue!

Suck on this!

Hold it!

Knock if off, will ya?

Get a grip, man!

You prefer him, don't you?

I suppose he's more your type?

Enough!

Have it your way!

We dont wan't your sorry DNA for posterity anyway.

Don't move!

Don't be embarrassed!

Shut up! One more move and l'll...

Why'd you shoot him?

Magnetic field.

You're right! This won't do!

Why add to the destruction?

We must strengthen our species!

Please, no!

Stop it! Please!

I beg of you!

Please don't kill me!

Please!

I'll shoot!

I will!

I'll shoot you!

I will!

Teru!

Teru!

Teru!

Stop the car! Stop it!

Thank God?

Sato-san!

Sato-san! Sato-san!

Sato-san!

Teru?

Thank God.

Are we still alive?

I think so.

Why?

Not him, too?

I didn't figure this guy would be one to die.

How funny!

Serves him right, but why?

Why am I still alive?

I can't bear it!

Food distribution has begun

in certain parts of Tokyo.

Welcome, everyone...

to wonderful Tokyo.

Welcome.

How much further is it to Tokyo, do you think?

Not that there's anyone to see.

Nobody.

They died when I was in junior high.

My parents, that is.

It was a car accident.

When I look at him

I can't believe he feels nothing.

No sense of loss?

It's unforgivable.

But,

I suppose when you think about it,

with all that's happened,

he's really

better off?

The way he is?

I'm sorry.

I'm so pathetic!

And weak!

And useless!

Just alive.

But I promise,

I promise we'll make it home together!

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Why did you save us?

I said why did you save us?

We were flying low to avoid the ash higher up in the air.

You were just lucky we saw you.

But you could've flown on?

It's his penance for killing so many!

I was just trying to survive!

Right on!

You said it, man!

Do you know

anything about Tokyo?

What's become of it?

Haven't you heard the radio?

They say there's order there.

And food!

Lots of emergency rations underground!

Someone found them.

In Tokyo, we can survive.

Really?

See for yourself.

We'll be there in 20 minutes.

What's going on?

Ash in the engine!

It's stalling!

I'll fly lower! We must get there!

Let me off!

Let me off!

Keep it together!

Let me off!

Close the door!

Yuriko!

Don't move!

Hurry up and close the door!

Someone, close the door!

Teru!

Teru!

Stabilize the chopper!

I'm trying!

Sato-san!

Teru!

Teru! No!

Teru! Teru!

Sato-san.

Nobuo.

Perhaps it's easier to be consumed by the darkness...

to not feel anything...

remember nothing.

I'm home.

At least I think it is?

I'm home, right?

Where's my souvenir?

How was the trip?

The faster panic spreads...

The dragon's pulse is irregular.

A huge meteor?

A fiery dragon? Judgement Day?

A shift in the earth's crust

upsets the Earth's magnetic balance.

So mankind was mad even before the magnetic field went haywire.

For millennia!

Embrace the darkness.

We've got to emmbrace the darkness.

Wait!

Hey?

You're alive.

It's me!

I saw the crashed chopper so I thought everyone had died!

What about Sato-san? Is she still alive?

You're wasting your time.

It's not just them, everyone's like that.

I take it you saw the streets

And the butchering that took place there?

Must've been horrific.

Then they found this stored here, underground.

Just for such an occasion.

Eat this food and

you'll become like that child.

Liberated from fear!

You feel nothing?

Pathetic, isn't it?

Right, Yuriko?

Hey, when did you die.

Here. It tastes pretty good.

Sample

Sato-san?

Sato-san!

Sato-san!

Sato-san!

Sato-san?

Not you too, Sato-san?

Damn it!

Why?

Sato-san?

Teru?

Sato-san.

Teru?

Your family?

I'm sorry.

You didn't eat it?

No.

I didn't want

to be like that child.

If I can't cry,

or laugh,

then what's the point?

I wanted to be able to cry, to think about you.

You're all I have left.

If you had died

and left me all alone,

I would have been able to cry!

Sato-san.

Teru.

I was frightened.

Sato-san was the only person crying in that place.

Who would invent such a thing?

Food to numb your senses.

What kind of world had they foreseen

for those without it?

Let's go!

Quickly!

Get out of here!

You came here to live!

You alright?

I'm fine.

You can't kill us!

We're going to survive!

What remains ahead is either hope or despair.

Nobody can say which it'll be.

It's a question for the future.

Our future.
