Akira Page #2

All right. Continue.

Very well, sir. Thank you.

I'm sure he'll turn out to be a

worthy addition to the Numbers.

It may be rough on him,

but I thought we might try starting

him off with level 7 capsules.

Is it safe?

Leave everything to me.

That's not what I meant!

I'm asking that if he turns out to

have power like Akira's like you said,

will we be able to control it?

Well, that's...

Can I leave this to you?

Well, if we use the latest examination

equipment to collect even more data...

...and do a multifaceted

analysis, then surely...

Maybe we shouldn't

touch that power.

The power of God?

A... ki... ra...

But we have to.

We have to touch it and control it.

If it looks like it's too much for us

to handle, terminate him at once!

There can be no hesitation!

Very well, Colonel.

This school is your last chance!

If trash like you that can't keep up with

the academic ability of regular students...

If trash like you that can't keep up with

the academic ability of regular students...

...and can't adapt to living in a group

screw up here, it's the end of the road!

Even if you're under 15, if you get more

than 50 penalty points on your record,

you're sent to the regular courts!

Bite me! Don't mess

with us, you bald goat!

Aren't any of you listening?

You lost me halfway through!

Discipline!

Discipline!

- Discipline!

- OW!

Discipline!

Discipline!

Discipline!

Dismissed!

Thank you very much, sir!

You bastard! You and me are

gonna go at it someday, jack!

We're gonna remember this!

I hope you rot and die!

You sick bastard!

Sh*t...

Yamagata!

What happened to your cheek?

Shut the hell up.

Let me guess, Jaws from P. E?

They say you fought the Clowns

on a highway in the old city!

Yeah.

Why don't you just wipe 'em out?

Those guys are so gross!

And last night...

There were demonstrators,

cops, and even the damn army!

And that idiot Tetsuo

had an accident, too.

What happened to Tetsuo?

He's in the hospital, I guess,

but we don't know where.

The idiot was trying to show off.

That idiot...

What, you mean Tetsuo?

Shut up! I've had enough

of your damn flirting!

What's gotten into you?!

Tetsuo? It's time for your medication.

Doctor! There's a problem!

I can't. The dorm mother throws

a fit if you go out before 10.

Yeah, the one with the face like a goat.

That old bag's such a pain... She's

always yammering on and on and on.

Tomorrow at three?

Sure, that'd be okay.

Hey, what happened to

that girl a while back?

I don't like her much. Her personality

just gets on my nerves.

Kaori...

Tetsuo!

Everyone's been worried about you!

They thought you might be dead.

When I woke up, I was on an

operating table or something.

And that examination...

It's like... they were messing

around inside my head.

I don't want to go back there.

Let's run away...

Where?

Someplace. Someplace far away.

- What's your problem?

- That's mine!

I wanna get laid!

Hey! Today's independent study!

Hey! Today's independent study!

Say what? What about

my burning desire to study?!

Say what? What about

my burning desire to study?!

Drag his butt in here!

Kaneda! Your bike!

My bike?

Look!

Tetsuo!

Are you sure this is okay?

Shut up! Just keep

quiet and hang on!

Huh?

What's wrong?

Sh*t!

Oh, no...

We're stopping...

We stopped.

Oh, okay. The engine can't drop below

Oh, okay. The engine can't drop below

- My butt hurts.

- Okay, I get it...

Look, bikes!

Is that Kaneda and?

It's not them!

Kaori!

Any sign of him?

Kuwata and the others went

to look around Kisarazu.

All that's left now is

the industrial area!

Okay, let's go!

We owe you for the other night!

Shut up!

Kaori! What did they do, Kaori?!

Don't! If you so much as scratch

that bike, I'm gonna kill you!

Run!

Don't let 'em get away!

Wait!

Tetsuo!

That's enough, Tetsuo!

Are you trying to kill him?

Yes! I'm gonna kill him!

I'll split his damn head open!

Knock it off!

This happened because you

took my bike for a joyride.

Enough, already!

Shut up! Don't order me around!

We were worried about you.

Why do you always have

to come and save me?

I could've handled it myself!

I admit I got beat up that one time,

but I won't always be

on the receiving end!

Understand?!

Tetsuo...

Shut up! Stay away from me!

Hey, wait!

Where are you going?

Leave me alone!

Akira!

Tetsuo!

What's wrong?

Akira!

I don't know who that is!

Tetsuo, are you...

Hey!

This is strange.

I'm getting a blue

pattern on scope #3!

Oh, no! Retrieve

the subject! Hurry!

What're you doing to my friend?!

What's with you? You just

come back from a funeral?

Tetsuo!

Kaneda!

Sh*t...

Wait!

Hey, Kaneda...

I see we have some youngsters doing their

thing in spite of the tight checkpoints.

That just means that

they're stupid, don't it?

This is boring.

Hey, let's go home.

But it's still early!

Yeah, but without their bikes they're

just skirt-chasers out of water.

You mean "fish"!

Come on, let's go.

Let's toss these fish back!

Hey, Kaneda, what're we gonna do?

What the?

Look!

That's...

Here we go again... Let's get out of

here before we get involved again.

Huh?

Kaneda?

Hey!

This area is being cordoned off

due to a terrorist bombing.

Those who wish to get through,

line up in single file,

present your I D and go

through the checkpoint.

Get in.

What's wrong? Hurry.

I'll be right behind you.

You know the rendezvous point, right?

- Be careful.

- You too, Ryu.

Stop! Stop, damn it!

She's got a gun!

Okay, that's far enough!

Drop the gun!

Drop it now!

Stop!

I think it came from over here!

- There were two shots!

- No, three!

It's just up ahead!

Hey. Let's get out of here.

Come on!

Kaneda!

So, what's the matter?

Try telling me about it.

I had a dream.

A dream?

The city will be covered by a dark

shadow and start to crumble.

Lots of people died...

...and we met Akira again.

Akira?!

The city will crumble,

and so many people will die...

When?! When will it happen, Kiyoko?!

You mustn't let that boy go.

His power, it...

What did she mean?!

Well, there's nothing

physically wrong with her.

Her medication is normal, too.

There's no sign of any abnormalities

in her ECG or EEG, either.

I think what Number 25 said was

her precognitive power at work.

This must be presented to the supreme

executive council for inquiry, but...

Do you believe her?

I have no doubts regarding

Number 25's abilities.

We have all sorts of data

that substantiate her abilities.

What about you, Colonel?

My job isn't to believe or disbelieve.

It's to act or not to act.

Here, sir.

Cold gear, Colonel.

Please put it on. You, too, Doctor.

The other day, a young

researcher asked me something.

He wondered if their power was the form the

next stage of human evolution was taking,

and perhaps that we'll all

be able to control it some day.

Scientists are a bunch of romantics.

Military men always

consider the risks first.

It's taken thirty long years.
