Within these last few days,

those with the surname "Satou"

have died nationwide.

The deceased did not share anything

else in common except for the surname,

and they all died from...

...various causes, such as

suicide, etc.

It's become a big mystery.

What does this mean?

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Are you all right?

Stand up.

You're such a pain.

Hiroshi, why are you dressed like that?

Just like a low-level yakuza, huh?

I'm not a little kid anymore.

You can call me a kid, but I

don't intend on becoming a yakuza.

This is my domain.

I won't let you make trouble here.

I don't want to be under your control.

Then you'd better listen to me!

Makoto Gouji

Run!

Hey.

Go that way.

Let's split up.

What?

I won't let anyone catch me.

Riaru Onigokko aka The Real Monster Game

aka The Chasing World

Are you all right? You didn't get caught.

Tsubasa, you're so fast.

Of course he is, he's always

been a master fugitive!

That guy is a troublemaker.

They're just trying to

collect some debts.

One day, you're gonna get killed.

You've always been good friends,

ever since we were young.

Now we're no longer friends.

Both you and Hiroshi share the

same last surname - "Satou".

What a good name.

Don't say it again.

Yeah, it seems like "Satou's" are

dying off everywhere.

I've heard about that.

They just suddenly faint.

Tsubasa, are you okay?

This is the most popular surname

in Japan. Surely most of them have died.

Almost all of the "Satou's" have died.

Do you want to kill me?

Okay.

Stop, he's hurt!

Hey, wait up.

Dad, you're gonna get sick.

Oh, Tsubasa

Oh, it's the alcohol.

This is for you.

I don't want that.

Gotcha!

Go to sleep.

Ai.

I've come to take your temperature.

Someone already take your temperature?

Okay, it's normal.

How are you?

Ai, what was our mom like?

If mom was still alive, dad

would surely stop drinking.

As for you,

maybe you wouldn't be like this.

Oh God!

Damn!

You brought so many people just for me.

You won't escape this time!

Hiroshi, that's enough for you!

I want you to disappear.

Get lost.

What?

Where'd they go?

Hey guys!

Hiroshi found me.

He's dangerous.

Who's that?

Who're you?

Don't screw around.

Why were you holding hands?

Are you mistaking us for

someone else?

Are you Suzuki Makoto

and Takahashi Gou?

That's right.

How do you know us?

I'm Satou Tsubasa.

Your surname's "Satou".

Satou?

Let's go.

Hang on.

We don't associate ourselves with

anyone playing The Monster Game.

Monster Game? Run.

Why?

He's crazy.

Really, poor thing.

What's the matter?

Sh*t!

Hey, hey.

Stop.

Where's the monster?

Where's the monster? Where is it?

Are you Hiroshi?

Who are you?

I'm Satou Tsubasa.

Have we met before? You better be

careful. There's a monster.

Let me ask you, what's The Monster Game.

- What're you talking about?

- I didn't know so I'm asking you.

You're Satou, right?

Everyone keeps talking about "Satou".

What happens to the "Satou's"?

Are you serious?

Why would I be joking with you?

You don't know about The Real Monster Game?

"Satou's" are being hunted nationwide.

Once caught, they'll be killed.

What kind of game is that?

Don't you know? Where have you been?

I'm right here.

The Monster Game has been going

on this week. Its an Imperial order.

Imperial? Imperial what?

- What's "Imperial"?

- That's Nippon Mikado.

You don't even know about the Imperial.

They got caught.

Many "Satou's" have gradually

disppeared in the last 4 days.

A Monster?

That's the Monster?

Idiot, get over here!

Please, save me!

Let me go, I don't want to die.

I don't want to die, I don't want to die.

What are you doing? Let's go!

What's happening? That thing just now.

That's an iron wire knife.

If you're caught,

you're killed upon arrest.

Those who run away...

They're caught and sent

to the gas room.

They're hunting those with the

surname of "Satou".

- Yes. - Just

"Satou's"? - Yes. - Why?

The Imperial won't allow too

many people of the same surname.

That's illogical.

Can't use cell phones;

there's no signals.

Be quiet.

Hey, hey.

I said "be quiet".

The Monster Game ends on the 5th day.

Calling all monsters - please go

back to the nearest Game Centre.

The 5th day

End of The Monster Game.

So dangerous. We're lucky it ended

before we were killed.

If one doesn't follow the rules of the

game, they can be killed anytime.

The "Monsters" are chosen from

a lot of criminals.

Depending on the amount of

"Satou's" being arrested...

...they'll decide whether to

issue a penalty or a release.

Nothing happened today.

Besides The Monster Game,

everything is normal.

Attend school, play outside.

How do they know that

who's a "Satou"?

The Monsters use GPS to track us.

How did they know that we were "Satou's"?

ID.

ID? I won't carry any now.

That won't help. It's already

been filed with the Imperial.

At birth, our ID has

been entered into the database.

Unbelievable!

What's this?

Impossible, what happened?

Dad.

Damn! What's going on? My house

and sister are both gone.

What about The Monster

Game's Imperial. Who is it?

No one knows the real

face of the Imperial.

He's only known as "Satou".

Live telecast of a report

from the Imperial now.

Your Highness, please

watch over us today!

Here is someone who broke the

rules of The Game...

...and will be punished for

the first time today.

He used a car to run away.

Save me!

Like this!

Attention:
those who use transportation

or weapons to break the rules

will get a severe or painful

punishment!

Let's review the results today.

Your Highness, how is it so far?

That's the "Satou's" distribution map

before The Monster Game started.

After The Monster Game began,

the 1st and 2nd day ended.

That's the 5th day.

The amount of Monsters have

gradually increased.

It'd be much more difficult

to escape from this point onward.

But to the one who survives

on behalf of the fallen,

fulfill your wishes and work harder.

That's a report from

the Imperial, thank you.

- Good work.

- Good night.

- You did well tonight.

- You did well, too.

It's always a live telecast.

- Kaori, watch what you say.

- You've warned me before.

And asking us to take the

photo of that idiot's face.

Don't do that again, don't ever

make the Imperial angry.

He's not human.

Yes.

The ratings are good.

The dictatorship of the Imperial

has been going on for 18 years.

The citizens have never

seen his real face before.

I've told you before that you'd

be the one to screw it up.

Just kidding. If we go against the Imperial,

it means taking the road to doom.

Am I mischievous?

The Hiroshi I know is

the brother of a Yakuza.

So, you're another Hiroshi.

I don't know what's going on...

Makoto and Gouji are now gay.

They look the same.

It seems to be the same, but there's

a big difference.
