on underground levels 7 and 8.

That's probably the place.

The central wiring shaft

should be up ahead.

We should be able to use it to

go straight to the sublevels.

Be careful, it's deeper in the middle.

What a stink!

Quiet!

What? I said it stinks

because it stinks!

- Is your nose busted?

- Hurry up and stay quiet!

Damn! Hide!

Huh? Where?

What're you doing, you idiot?!

They left?

Looks like they've beefed up security.

Must be that siren we heard.

What should we do?

Scout around some?

No.

- Are you okay?

- Let's keep going.

I want to check out their

security at the very least.

All right.

We've been spotted! Run!

Sh*t!

Don't! Don't shoot!

Shimazaki! Sh*t!

Forget about him! Run!

What the hell is that?

Here it comes!

Forget it! You can't do any good!

Die!

This is Unit 304, Shaft H!

Have encountered intruders and

am engaging! Request backup!

Here it comes!

Kei!

Where's that gun?!

Damn it!

Kaneda!

Kei, this way!

Hurry!

Kaneda, hurry!

Kaneda!

The brakes!

Where are the brakes?!

That's not it?

This is the central wiring shaft!

It's gotta be this one, then!

Okay, I'm getting the hang of this!

Ask the Colonel for

clearance to fire!

Turn that up!

There must be some mistake.

That boy looks like the patient

they admitted to the lab.

The boy, the subject named

Tetsuo Shima, broke out of his room.

I think he's headed for the Baby Room.

Tetsuo?!

He is an extremely dangerous state!

Don't let him through!

I repeat, do not let him through!

What the?

It's no use hiding.

We have no choice, then.

Use your guns!

We can't let him go any farther,

no matter what it takes!

Fire!

So, here you are...

Stop it!

How long are you gonna

keep playing around?!

Where'd the other one go?

Why, you...

Die!

Takashi!

What the hell is going on?

Am I dreaming or something?

I never knew I had powers like this!

Damn it, which way should I go?!

Straight. Straight ahead...

Huh?

There's a freight elevator.

We can take it to sublevel 8.

Good, you're all together.

You thought you could kill me?

You tried to mess with me...

I'm gonna kill you!

That was you...

Takashi!

Attack him together!

O-Okay.

You little twerps!

That's enough!

All of you!

Who the hell are you?!

What's the matter? Does your

head hurt, Tetsuo Shima?

Your power isn't fully matured.

If you push yourself, you might

do irreparable damage.

Just do as we tell you.

What the hell did you

people do to my head?!

Calm yourself, Tetsuo Shima!

He can't control it.

What?!

She said that big people like you

should never use the power like that.

She says something

horrible will happen.

Mind your own business.

What? More powerful than me?

He's the one! He's been popping

in and out of my head lately!

Where is he?!

Where's this "Akira"?!

What?!

Kiyoko said that

you'll awaken Akira.

If that happens, no one will

be able to stop him.

So before that can happen,

we have to stop you.

Impossible! Akira's already...

WHERE IS HE?!

Stop it!

Shut up!

Threat level to facility

integrity has passed level 7.

Enacting disaster protocols.

Threat level to facility

integrity has passed level 7.

Enacting disaster protocols.

What the?!

Hands up!

Where the hell is the "Baby Room"?!

Oh, no! Run!

Gangway, coming through!

Coming through!

Damn it, move!

Kiyoko...

Damn, that hurt...

Kaneda? What're you doing here?

Tetsuo! Are you okay?

I'm here to rescue you!

Hurry up, you moron! If we don't get out

of here, those guys outside are gonna...

There he is! Catch him!

Stay away from me!

Kaneda!

Oh, right. I forgot you

were there, Kaneda.

That's okay, Kaneda.

I won't be needing you

to save me anymore.

From now on,

I'll be saving you.

All you have to do is ask, Kanny.

Say what? Who the hell do

you think you're talking to?!

You don't like the way I talk?

Does it make you mad?

Well, what're you

gonna do about it?!

Huh, Kaneda?! What're

you gonna do about it?!

That's enough!

Don't hurt anyone else!

Where's this "Akira" guy?!

He...

The Olympic stadium?

In an underground facility?

No! You're wrong! Akira is...

Wait!

What the hell?

I can do this, too?!

Kiyoko, are you okay?

It doesn't look like she's hurt.

What about you, Masaru?

You're bleeding.

What happened to him?

He flew away.

How can he have so much power?

How could this have happened?

Is anyone here?

He's developed so much

power in such a short time...

Find him! Find Tetsuo!

- Find him! Go after him!

- Kaneda! Hang on, Kaneda!

Hurry up!

Get that rubble cleared!

He went to where Akira is.

What?

You're all safe!

He's heading for the facility below

the Olympic construction site.

How did Tetsuo find out about that?!

You mean he's gone outside?

Damn it! We'll follow him!

Prepare for pursuit!

- Yes sir!

- He's heading west!

He's heading for the

Olympic construction site!

Tell them to beef up their security!

- You!

- Set up checkpoints on all...

According to the defense team, intruders

were encountered in the wiring shaft.

Two disguised as workers resisted

and were shot, and the rest are at large.

He has to be stopped

before his powers mature...

Your objective is the boy Tetsuo Shima.

If we are unable to capture him, you will

lure him out to the old city and attack.

Request assistance from the

Eastern District Battalion.

Yes sir!

Tell them there isn't a moment to lose!

I've been waiting for you, Colonel.

Who the hell are you?!

I'm here to inform you of the supreme

executive council's decision.

At 2400 hours today, the Colonel is hereby

stripped of his command and rank,

and will be placed under arrest.

What?!

Please come with us.

You expect me to hand Neo Tokyo

over to those fools at a time like this?

- Shoot him.

- Yes sir!

What?

W-Wait!

Enough! Open your eyes and

look at the big picture!

We can't dance to the tune of

corrupt politicians and capitalists!

Don't you understand?!

It's pointless to fight anymore!

Announce a state of emergency, arrest

all members of the executive council...

...and remove them from

the chain of command!

We're going after Tetsuo!

Urgent message to all district

battalion commanders!

Hey, what's up?

You by yourself?

Weren't you in an

accident or something?

Everybody's been worried.

So, you feeling better?

Gimme some... capsules.

Hey, are you sure about that?

You don't look so hot.

Just hand 'em over!

All right, if you say so.

But with all those demonstrations and

terrorist attacks lately, things are rough.

They're hard to come by,

so they're pretty expensive.

Tetsuo's run off, Kaneda's disappeared...

I guess the team's finished.

And the checkpoints are so strict,

even the Clowns are staying put.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

He's dead!

What?!

What the?

Tetsuo?

What are you doing here?

You want some, too?

What are you talking about, damn it?!

What the hell happened here?!

The barkeep's dead!

A fish out of water dies, huh?

You are Tetsuo... Aren't you?
