Akira

Groups of unemployed workers, who have

grown in number due to the tax reforms...

... enacted by the former Prime Minister,

are rioting all across the country.

And with the confusion among members of

Parliament sparked by the comments of...

... Finance Minister Takanashi

during a recent Parliament inquiry,

there seems to be no compromise in sight

between the government and opposition.

Hey. What'll it be?

Give me three peanuts.

Let's see here...

We've herded those Clown

bastards onto Route 5.

Damn it, don't scare me like that!

Open the damn door quietly!

You wouldn't be so jumpy if you

didn't have something to hide!

Try selling some normal

drinks sometime, huh?

How about buying something for once?!

This ain't a hangout!

And drink that dog piss you sell?!

Twin ceramic rotor

drives on each wheel...

And these are... Computer

controlled anti-lock brakes...

You wanna ride it, Tetsuo?

All right, let's go!

That bike's been customized just for me.

It's too wild. You couldn't handle it.

I don't see how you can ride

something like that, man.

I could!

If you want one so bad,

steal a big one for yourself.

Unbelievable.

School kids these days...

Wait! Hey, waiter!

They ran into the alley! After 'em!

This isn't a game, you idiot!

Sh*t!

That's...

This is car 375.

We've got reports of biker gangs fighting

near the intersection of Highway 14 south!

Request immediate assistance!

Car 375, en route to the scene!

It's the cops! What should we do?

Damn, and my motor coils

were just getting warmed up...

Bastards...

Let's go, Tetsuo!

Right!

Damn!

A skirmish has broken out

between student protesters...

... and riot police assigned as security.

There appear to be some casualties.

Furthermore...

What the?

What the hell's going on?!

Move it, jerk!

I'm in a hurry!

What was that?!

Call the police!

Repeal the tax reforms!

This area is off-limits!

Go back! It's dangerous!

Something's strange here...

Let me through!

I'm sorry, let me through!

What's the big idea?

Look! Blood!

Who are they?

- Excuse me.

- Hey! Don't push!

Excuse me.

Hey! Watch it, jerk!

Pardon me. I'm sorry.

Ryu!

Hey! He ran away!

He's got a gun!

Fire!

Hold your fire!

There's a kid with him!

Run...

Hurry...

Go to Ryu...

Ryu will help you now...

Hurry... Get out of here...

Kei!

What are you doing? Hurry!

He vanished!

He's to the west.

The west? He's in

the old city, then.

Eat this!

Tetsuo!

Ryu! Ryu, where are you?

Kei!

No, that's!

How you like that?!

Well? Who is it?

It's not him!

It's not Tetsuo!

Okay! Let's go!

You little...

What did you do?

Tetsuo!

Hang on! Hey!

Huh? What did you say?

That kid...

He's hurt bad!

Hey! Wait!

We gotta get him to a hospital!

- He needs an ambulance!

- We can't move him!

W-What the hell?!

There's no escape.

We've come for you.

We can't survive on the outside.

Come on, let's go home.

It's the army!

Those are army helicopters!

Move out!

Down on your stomachs!

Spread your arms and legs!

Um... We're just, uh...

Down on your stomachs!

Spread your arms and legs!

Ow... Damn it, that hurts!

Kai!

Hey!

Sir?

Who are they?

They seem to be an

ordinary bike gang, sir.

We're going back.

Ow! Hey, wait a minute!

My arms don't bend that way, damn it!

Load the wounded onto the helicopter!

Tetsuo!

Wait! Where are you taking him?

Kaneda!

What the hell?

We didn't do anything!

He's heavy!

So you and your friends went out at night

on your bikes to visit your dying mother,

and a group of hooligans called the

Clowns picked a fight with you.

They hurt your friend,

so you lost your temper,

which is why eight Clown

members are now in the hospital.

That's your story?

She's cute!

Hey! You can't look at this!

And how's your mother doing?!

Huh? Oh.

Luckily, she made it through

the worst of it last night.

And I suppose she's made it over

the mountains on a bike by now?

It couldn't be these bozos.

You can tell that just by looking.

Wait on that bench. Understand?

How much longer are we

gonna have to wait?

Okay! The next five,

come get in here!

So the army's working

with the police...

...to hunt down anti-government

groups now, huh?

- Wanna put up a fight, huh?

- He's holding something!

Bastard!

Long live the freedom revolution!

He's got a grenade!

Crazy son of a b*tch!

All right, that's enough!

Take him away!

We'll really teach him a lesson later.

You dumb bastard! If you wanna die,

just hang yourself or something!

Hey! You people can go.

We've contacted your school.

What? You son of a...

Hey, hold on a minute, pops!

"Pops"?!

There was one more of us.

What?

Pardon me.

What're you...

This is her.

Can she leave with us?

Who are you calling "Pops," you punk?

Ow!

Look here, kid! I'm only 25!

I'm not even married!

So watch your mouth!

She can go with you!

Call a doctor!

So I think the army was chasing

that weird kid Kaneda saw...

I think I saw him, too.

And what about Tetsuo?

Why the hell wouldn't they

tell us what hospital he's in?

What did you say?!

I was just wondering if you wanted to

grab some tea or something over there.

I figured we could have a nice,

long talk about that "revolution" deal.

Skirt-chasers will try

anything these days...

You'll help anyone so long

as it's a girl, won't you?

No way! I have high standards!

Line up!

No way! I have high standards!

It's not their looks that count.

It's their... I dunno, their

sensitivity that makes me do it.

I suppose I owe you one.

Thank you very much, uh...

I'm Kaneda.

Nice to meet you.

See you around, Kaneda.

You're leaving already?

Don't be like that!

Hey, come on!

I did save you and all!

At least tell me your

name, you b*tch!

I'll try talking with them for

the time being, but it's risky.

If they think you're trying to avoid taking

responsibility, it'll blow up in your face.

I can't believe that there's a

mole on the executive council.

Even if that's true...

That isn't important.

What's important is diplomacy and political

maneuvering, which you seem to despise.

I never studied them in school, you see.

In any case, at the next

executive council meeting,

your poor management of this last

incident will be called into question.

There's a phone call for the Colonel.

You should put your affairs in order.

It's me.

This way, Colonel.

I'm terribly sorry to call you here,

but there's something

you really must see.

Please observe.

It's the special pattern

from that young boy.

It doesn't resemble

any I've seen so far,

and I've never seen a developmental

speed or configuration like this.

It may have begun with the shock of

contact with Number 26, or possibly...

Have you finished running a

comparison with Akira's pattern?

I'll superimpose it over this one.

This projection was constructed using

mixed data, so a comparison is difficult,

but I believe this boy's

pattern is the key to solving...

...the riddle of Akira's

pattern growth process.
