<font face="Joan" size="60">Ron</font>
3
00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:06,660
<font face="Joan" size="60">He's never been defeated.
A mahjong player without equal.</font>
4
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:10,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">East/West contest?
It's an underground mahjong East/West battle.</font>
5
00:00:10,180 --> 00:00:14,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">Let me play.
An East team with both Ten AND Akagi.</font>
6
00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:16,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's a tough fight. so be tough.</font>
7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">I hadn't been here a while,
but it was fun.</font>
8
00:00:23,470 --> 00:00:26,470
<font face="Joan" size="60">Three years later</font>
9
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:30,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Mahjong Ultimate Battle
Amateur Player Contest</font>
10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">The game has reached its climax.
South hand 4.</font>
11
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:37,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Igawa has remained on top</font>
12
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:39,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">and Yamashita is following 4100 points behind.</font>
13
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:43,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yeah... as Igawa has a lead of 4100 points...</font>
14
00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:46,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">he can win even without declaring Tenpai.</font>
15
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:49,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yamashita needs an 800/1600 point Tsumo or greater...</font>
16
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">or a 2,300 point direct hit.</font>
17
00:00:51,690 --> 00:00:58,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">Takazawa needs a SanBaiMan Tsumo or greater, or to get a Yakuman direct hit off Igawa.</font>
18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">And Araki needs a Yakuman win.</font>
19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,820
<font face="Joan" size="60">Looks tough for them.
Riichi.</font>
20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ah, Yamashita has declared riichi.</font>
21
00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:10,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">He's aiming for a Pinfu hand.
Waiting on a 1 or 4 Sou (bamboo).</font>
22
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:15,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">If he draws one on the next turn AND gets an Ura-dora
It's a Yamashita upset.</font>
23
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:18,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">All four of the 4 Sou tiles remain undrawn.</font>
24
00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:21,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">3 of the 3 Sou tiles are visible,
as well as 2 of the 5 Sou tiles.</font>
25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">He can see it's an ideal wait.</font>
26
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:29,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ah! If Igawa discards his dora 5 pin tile he'll be in Tenpai.</font>
27
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:33,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">For a 3/6 Man wait.
But can he risk discarding this dora?</font>
28
00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:35,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hmm. He's in a tight spot.</font>
29
00:01:35,850 --> 00:01:38,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">But I think it will work.</font>
30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">If he completes his hand he wins the contest.
But if anyone takes the dora and wins...</font>
31
00:01:42,030 --> 00:01:44,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">he'll lose the championship.</font>
32
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">No.
I absolutely can't deal into anyone's hand.</font>
33
00:01:55,860 --> 00:01:58,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">As one would expect, he couldn't risk discarding that dora.</font>
34
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:01,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">And, Yamashita's draw?</font>
35
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:09,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ah, if Igawa had risked discarding the dora he would have won!</font>
36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">Welp, as I thought, that's mahjong for you, isn't it.</font>
37
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:16,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">Sure is.
This is a tough break for Igawa.</font>
38
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:20,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">Tsumo</font>
39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ah, Yamashita has drawn his winning tile.
And the Ura-Dora is...</font>
40
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:32,610
<font face="Joan" size="60">He got it! It's a complete upset for Yamashita!</font>
41
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:35,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">And the game goes to Yamashita...</font>
42
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:39,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">and he overcame the point difference with Igawa,
who just couldn't pull it off.</font>
43
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">Only for Igawa..</font>
44
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">This has got to be tough.
Indeed.</font>
45
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:45,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">Thank you for playing.</font>
46
00:03:09,170 --> 00:03:10,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">How may I help you?</font>
47
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:12,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Blend coffee please.</font>
48
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:14,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes. Very good sir.</font>

Why?</font>
54
00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:58,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">E-Excuse me...</font>
55
00:04:58,660 --> 00:05:01,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're Mr. Igawa, aren't you?</font>
56
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes.</font>
57
00:05:04,190 --> 00:05:09,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">I mean to say, in a short time a wake for those close to the departed will be held</font>

00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:11,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">You will please attend, won't you?</font>
59
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">A wake?
<font color="#00ffff">Yes.</font></font>
60
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hmph</font>
61
00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:20,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">but usually the wake is held BEFORE the memorial...</font>
62
00:05:20,010 --> 00:05:23,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well, this is an exception.</font>
63
00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:26,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's been arranged to be held after the memorial.</font>
64
00:05:26,450 --> 00:05:28,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">okaaay...</font>
65
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">Please wait a moment.</font>
66
00:06:04,690 --> 00:06:07,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">But that was a terribly strange thing to say.</font>
67
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:12,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">First I've heard of that.
A wake held AFTER the memorial service.</font>
68
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:22,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">My apologies. I've kept you waiting quite some time.</font>
69
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">From here on I hand you over to the guidance of our Chief Mourner</font>
70
00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:29,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">Chief mourner?
<font color="#00ffff">yes.</font></font>
71
00:06:29,850 --> 00:06:33,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">Go with them to your place at the wake.</font>
72
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yo, Hiro.
Been a while.</font>
73
00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:56,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">AKAGI!</font>
74
00:06:56,670 --> 00:07:01,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">What is all this?
The joke has gone too far!</font>
75
00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:04,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is no joke
<font color="#00ffff">It's not a joke?</font></font>
76
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Why on earth would you pretend something so disturbing?</font>
77
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:08,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hey, relax.</font>
78
00:07:12,020 --> 00:07:15,510
<font face="Joan" size="60">But, Akagi. Why are you doing this?</font>
79
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:21,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's just how it is.
Today's my funeral.</font>
80
00:07:21,010 --> 00:07:25,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">You call it a funeral.
Like, one of those held during your lifetime...</font>
81
00:07:25,500 --> 00:07:28,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">doing one while you're still alive,
is it that kind of thing?</font>
82
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Kind of like that, but somewhat different.</font>
83
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:34,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">Different?</font>
84
00:07:34,210 --> 00:07:37,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Those who hold their funerals while they're still alive...</font>
85
00:07:37,250 --> 00:07:40,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Afterwards, they can go on living.</font>

That's a joke, isn't it?</font>
130
00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:52,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just what is going on?</font>
131
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:01,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">Oh, sorry.
I haven't introduced you.</font>
132
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:04,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">Kanemitsu
This kid's Igawa Hiroyuki.</font>
133
00:11:04,190 --> 00:11:08,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">Pleased to meet you.
I am Kanemitsu.</font>
134
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">I am someone who has had a long acquaintance with Akagi.</font>
135
00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:14,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm Igawa.</font>
136
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:24,790
<font face="Joan" size="60">How the hell are YOU people here?</font>
137
00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:27,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">I just happened to be in Tokyo.</font>
138
00:11:27,530 --> 00:11:31,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">After someone told me Akagi died, I thought I'd have a look.
Something like that.</font>
139
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">And you can stop making light of it right now.</font>
140
00:11:34,530 --> 00:11:37,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're Messrs. Harada and Soga, aren't you.</font>
141
00:11:37,370 --> 00:11:40,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm most deeply sorry.</font>
142
00:11:40,020 --> 00:11:43,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">I have been managing this funeral service...</font>
143
00:11:43,410 --> 00:11:45,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm called Kanemitsu.</font>
144
00:11:45,460 --> 00:11:48,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">It was honestly Akagi's hope..</font>
145
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:54,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">to call various members of the East/West mahjong contest to a wake.</font>
146
00:11:56,220 --> 00:12:01,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">On that note,
what's Akagi's condition?</font>
147
00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:08,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">This was taken recently.
It shows the condition of Akagi's brain.</font>
148
00:12:08,530 --> 00:12:12,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">Already an atrophy in his brain has been confirmed.</font>
149
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">The progression of his illness is quite advanced.</font>
150
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">What is it? This illness you mention.</font>
151
00:12:25,220 --> 00:12:27,320
<font face="Joan" size="60">Alzheimer's disease.</font>
152
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">What's more the progress of the disease is accelerating.</font>
153
00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:46,830
<font face="Joan" size="60">Typically, within 3 years
he'll have no memory and be an invalid.</font>
154
00:12:50,690 --> 00:12:55,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">Knowing this, Akagi came to a decision.</font>
155
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">Before he's truly of unsound mind...</font>
156
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">he will end his own life.</font>
157
00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:17,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hiroyuki.</font>
158
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">A man like Akagi Shigeru...</font>
159
00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:27,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">Money, fame, power.
he never once sought those...</font>
160
00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:31,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just to be who he was...</font>
161
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,080
<font face="Joan" size="60">that's all he ever sought.</font>
162
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:44,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">And now all he values
is day by day slipping away.</font>
163
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:50,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">I daresay, from his point of view...</font>
164
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:57,510
<font face="Joan" size="60">he's got nothing left to live for.</font>
165
00:13:57,510 --> 00:14:01,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">But Akagi doesn't seem that strange at all.</font>
166
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">No...
Despite appearances that's not true.</font>
167
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">Stuff like today's date...</font>
168
00:14:10,190 --> 00:14:13,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">He already doesn't know anything like that.</font>
169
00:14:13,530 --> 00:14:18,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Pretty soon he won't be able to reckon or even do simple things.</font>
170
00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:21,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">And he's gradually losing his memory too.</font>
171
00:14:21,030 --> 00:14:23,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just somehow...</font>
172
00:14:23,570 --> 00:14:26,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">that Akagi-like way of speaking...</font>
173
00:14:26,710 --> 00:14:29,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">what comes to mind when we think of Akagi...</font>
174
00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:32,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">that intelligence remains.</font>
175
00:14:35,530 --> 00:14:40,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">So, if he's to die
how will he die?</font>
176
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">The manner of his death...</font>
177
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">in 1990, an American Doctor, Jack Kevorkian,</font>
178
00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:50,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">used something to euthanize his patients who sought death...</font>
179
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:57,080
<font face="Joan" size="60">a device based exactly on his "Mercytron" will be used.</font>
180
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:02,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">If Akagi flips a switch...</font>
181
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:06,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Via a syringe placed Akagi's vein...</font>
182
00:15:06,050 --> 00:15:08,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">first, so called Sodium thiopental is injected...</font>
183
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:15,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">a anesthetic which puts a person into a coma state within a few seconds...</font>
184
00:15:15,690 --> 00:15:20,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">One minute later, via the same syringe, but this time to stop the heart...</font>
185
00:15:20,690 --> 00:15:25,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">a potassium chloride and Suxamethonium chloride mixture is injected.</font>
186
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">And with that, within a deep painless coma...</font>
187
00:15:30,870 --> 00:15:34,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">cardiac arrest occurs, and death.</font>
188
00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:41,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">The hell. Going to so much bother.</font>
189
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:48,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">That said, why have we been brought here?</font>
190
00:15:48,350 --> 00:15:51,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">My apologies</font>
191
00:15:51,690 --> 00:15:56,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">I have not told you the most important thing of all.</font>
192
00:15:56,260 --> 00:15:58,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">In the end, Akagi...</font>
193
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:03,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">instructed me that of the 7 people here,</font>
194
00:16:03,020 --> 00:16:06,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">he'd like to speak with each individually.</font>
195
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:08,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">what?</font>
196
00:16:10,980 --> 00:16:13,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi's death...</font>
197
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:18,000
<font face="Joan" size="60">there is the possibility we can stop it.</font>
198
00:17:02,190 --> 00:17:05,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Sure enough, Kanemitsu is first.</font>
199
00:17:05,250 --> 00:17:07,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">May I impose?</font>
200
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">At any rate, knowing a Monk I can talk to...</font>
201
00:17:28,850 --> 00:17:30,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">truly saved me.</font>
202
00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:33,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">You have my thanks for all this.</font>
203
00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:36,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">For heaven's sake.</font>
204
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">That was nothing at all.</font>
205
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">To try be a little too helpful when someone dies...</font>
206
00:17:40,570 --> 00:17:42,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">is all in a day's work for me.</font>
207
00:17:42,870 --> 00:17:44,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's no bother at all.</font>
208
00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:48,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">indeed... But how do I say it...</font>
209
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">I was thinking this is all backwards.
<font color="#00ffff">Backwards?</font></font>
210
00:17:52,710 --> 00:17:55,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">For a wake.</font>
211
00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:57,680
<font face="Joan" size="60">After a death, everyone gathers...</font>
212
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">and the deceased doesn't know know anything about it.</font>
213
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:04,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you're going to the trouble of getting people together, it should be BEFORE you die.</font>
214
00:18:04,340 --> 00:18:11,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you meet before you die
You should have something to say.</font>
215
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">Certainly.</font>
216
00:18:13,850 --> 00:18:18,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">And for me, it's the East/West battle.</font>
217
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">That was the last serious contest I was in.</font>
218
00:18:21,410 --> 00:18:27,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">If I'm to die, that group is who I'd talk to.</font>
219
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">Exchanging a few words with those guys at the end...</font>
220
00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:36,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you're going to die,
there's no better hand to play.</font>
221
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:41,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">And come to think of it, asking this of you has been a bit much.</font>
222
00:18:41,890 --> 00:18:47,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">What are you saying? Pay that no mind.</font>
223
00:18:49,370 --> 00:18:52,000
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hmm?</font>
224
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,380
<font face="Joan" size="60">How do I say it...</font>
225
00:18:57,380 --> 00:19:00,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">Is this really right?</font>
226
00:19:00,410 --> 00:19:03,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">To die like this?</font>
227
00:19:03,230 --> 00:19:06,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Of course it is.</font>
228
00:19:06,050 --> 00:19:08,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is the way...</font>
229
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">I want to die.</font>
230
00:19:15,210 --> 00:19:18,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">I've been of two minds over this all along.</font>
231
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:21,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">Is it truly right to do this?</font>
232
00:19:21,170 --> 00:19:24,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">I've kept a calm appearance all through it.</font>
233
00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:29,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">I suppose that means I'm a cold person, doesn't it.</font>
234
00:19:29,180 --> 00:19:35,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">Could a cold person shoulder such a burden?</font>
235
00:19:35,530 --> 00:19:41,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Cold men are inevitably bystanders.</font>
236
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:52,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're a very warm man.</font>
237
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm truly sorry.
It was an unpleasant thing to ask.</font>
238
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:14,600
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi.
Won't you promise me just one thing?</font>
239
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">Promise?</font>
240
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">I won't go on.</font>
241
00:20:20,530 --> 00:20:25,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">I won't go on, but
the 6 other men...</font>
242
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:30,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">In various ways
I expect they will try to stop you.</font>
243
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:33,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't do anything stupid.</font>
244
00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:38,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">When they do, I don't want you to be stubborn.</font>
245
00:20:38,690 --> 00:20:43,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't want that.</font>
246
00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:47,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you think you want to stop or put this off, even a little bit..</font>
247
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:51,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">do it for me without shame.</font>
248
00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:56,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">Please don't just stubbornly die.</font>
249
00:20:59,530 --> 00:21:08,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you have a change of heart,
throw off this decision...</font>
250
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:12,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">and please turn back, Akagi.</font>
251
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:23,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">Won't you swear just that for me?</font>
252
00:21:28,010 --> 00:21:32,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Agreed. I promise.</font>
253
00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:35,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">I won't just willfully charge in.</font>
254
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:37,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">I when I die...</font>
255
00:21:37,690 --> 00:21:40,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'll die from the heart.</font>
256
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:31,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">So Ken is next?</font>
257
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:37,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">hehe. Amazing.</font>
258
00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:48,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't pity Kanemitsu at all.</font>
259
00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:51,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">He's a monk and he couldn't persuade you.</font>
260
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">And if what that monk said is no good...</font>
261
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:56,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">what I have to say can't change Akagi's mind, can it?</font>
262
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:59,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Okay. So I'll stop this.</font>
263
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">Because you're the one guy better than me at Mahjong</font>
264
00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:05,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">this isn't the most appealing conversation.</font>
265
00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:09,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">And if that's the way it is, I'll say it right out...</font>
266
00:23:09,860 --> 00:23:12,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you gonna die, get it over with.</font>
267
00:23:20,850 --> 00:23:23,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">What?</font>
268
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's not like you at all, Ken.</font>
269
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">Not like me?</font>
270
00:23:29,210 --> 00:23:33,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">If that's how you truly feel, it's fine by me.</font>
271
00:23:39,740 --> 00:23:42,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's how I really feel.
I see.</font>
272
00:23:42,770 --> 00:23:48,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Understood. Then, this is the end.</font>
273
00:23:48,030 --> 00:23:53,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ken. Good health.</font>
274
00:24:04,850 --> 00:24:07,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">I was lying. I'm sorry, I was lying!</font>
275
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:09,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">How can someone I've admired so damn much...</font>
276
00:24:09,850 --> 00:24:13,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">chose to die like this!</font>
277
00:24:13,340 --> 00:24:16,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well, this is a coincidence.</font>
278
00:24:16,670 --> 00:24:20,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">Wha?</font>
279
00:24:20,010 --> 00:24:22,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">I've admired you very much as well.</font>
280
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">What are you saying?</font>
281
00:24:26,850 --> 00:24:31,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">You play directly, without pretense.</font>
282
00:24:31,540 --> 00:24:36,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">I've always thought... it was beautiful.</font>
283
00:24:41,950 --> 00:24:47,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">During their life,
people sometimes try to affect airs.</font>
284
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">But you never did.</font>
285
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:58,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Living free as a breeze is a good way to live
I've always thought.</font>
286
00:24:58,030 --> 00:25:01,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">And I ain't lying.</font>
287
00:25:01,540 --> 00:25:05,190
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just...</font>
288
00:25:05,190 --> 00:25:08,790
<font face="Joan" size="60">Your game is weak</font>
289
00:25:21,540 --> 00:25:24,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't get angry.</font>
290
00:25:24,670 --> 00:25:29,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">Maybe I'm just irritable from something I ate.</font>
291
00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:36,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">Or maybe, you might have just...</font>
292
00:25:36,290 --> 00:25:40,590
<font face="Joan" size="60">lived freer than me all along.</font>
293
00:25:48,010 --> 00:25:51,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is the best, isn't it.</font>
294
00:25:51,870 --> 00:25:55,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">Living like that.</font>
295
00:25:55,540 --> 00:25:58,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't change, even if I die.</font>
296
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'll be watching you. From above.</font>
297
00:26:18,190 --> 00:26:21,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
298
00:26:49,380 --> 00:26:52,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">Oh, Ginji?</font>
299
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:05,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">What's going on, saying you'll die like this?</font>
300
00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:12,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">Okay, okay.
<font color="#00ffff">But aren't you worried Akagi?</font></font>
301
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">You'll die, in just a little while.</font>
302
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well, if I die, then everything disappears.</font>
303
00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:25,810
<font face="Joan" size="60">and with that, there's absolutely zero...</font>
304
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:27,830
<font face="Joan" size="60">things to worry about.</font>
305
00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:32,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">Either that, or in death there is something...</font>
306
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:36,110
<font face="Joan" size="60">A soul, so to speak, or some kind of consciousness...</font>
307
00:27:36,110 --> 00:27:38,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">And if life continues on...</font>
308
00:27:38,270 --> 00:27:40,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">in that case it's not connected to this burdonsome body...</font>
309
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">or our brain or nerves that pain and itch.</font>
310
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">That would be better than my current body.</font>
311
00:27:48,270 --> 00:27:54,470
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is to say, whether consciousness disappears or continues on, it's fine either way.</font>
312
00:27:57,090 --> 00:27:59,610
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi
Hmm?</font>
313
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:06,600
<font face="Joan" size="60">Do you suppose this soul or consciousness remains?</font>
314
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">You can't definitively say it doesn't remain.</font>
315
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">I see.</font>
316
00:28:15,980 --> 00:28:17,680
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's true, isn't it.</font>
317
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">Can you speak to me about that a little more?</font>
318
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Are you okay?</font>
319
00:28:32,260 --> 00:28:36,470
<font face="Joan" size="60">Recently my cancer came back and metastasized.</font>
320
00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:42,320
<font face="Joan" size="60">This time in my lymph nodes.
Surgery is no longer effective.</font>
321
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:48,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">and chemotherapy
isn't working.</font>
322
00:28:48,950 --> 00:28:51,610
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
323
00:28:51,610 --> 00:28:55,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm scared.</font>
324
00:28:55,020 --> 00:28:58,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">I think I might die soon.</font>
325
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:12,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ginji, originally we were inanimate matter.</font>
326
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">back long before man...</font>
327
00:29:17,540 --> 00:29:23,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">Grains of sand, dust subsumed in the sea
merely dirt...</font>
328
00:29:23,450 --> 00:29:26,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">dead, stagnant things.</font>
329
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">And from that primitive life was born...</font>
330
00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:32,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">and through successive evolution, became man.</font>
331
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:36,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">that is to say, within what is lifeless...</font>
332
00:29:36,260 --> 00:29:38,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">is the seed of that which can produce life.</font>
333
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:42,320
<font face="Joan" size="60">and within that seed exists a certain "will"</font>
334
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,600
<font face="Joan" size="60">maybe it's like consciousness.</font>
335
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:49,800
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is to say, within lifeless matter exists some "desire" to become animate.</font>
336
00:29:53,780 --> 00:29:59,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">I think it's more than an equal chance, that's what our life is.</font>
337
00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:04,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">To die, and return to life.</font>
338
00:30:04,750 --> 00:30:07,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">It can't be extinguished.</font>
339
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:12,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">That which is alive is CONTINUING its existence, its form changed.</font>
340
00:30:12,450 --> 00:30:16,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">In that sense, we're immortal.</font>
341
00:30:20,270 --> 00:30:24,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">You can never really truly die.</font>
342
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">Be at peace.</font>
343
00:30:30,210 --> 00:30:34,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">I...
I'll die first.</font>
344
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">And I'll die well.</font>
345
00:30:38,290 --> 00:30:42,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">Therefore accept it. Death.</font>
346
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">Welcome it as warmly as you can.</font>
347
00:30:51,620 --> 00:30:55,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">I sense
death itself just ain't so bad.</font>
348
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:59,510
<font face="Joan" size="60">I can do it, and so can you.</font>
349
00:30:59,510 --> 00:31:05,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">As far as I can tell,
warm people</font>
350
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:07,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">can die warmly.</font>
351
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:15,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't be afraid,
Ginji</font>
352
00:31:20,330 --> 00:31:22,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
353
00:31:47,260 --> 00:31:49,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yo.</font>
354
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,790
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well, you're looking spry as ever.</font>
355
00:32:00,790 --> 00:32:05,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">No. Not really.</font>
356
00:32:05,290 --> 00:32:11,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">These days I need help to get anywhere.</font>
357
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:20,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi, I don't understand your condition...</font>
358
00:32:20,860 --> 00:32:23,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">But this is no joke.</font>
359
00:32:23,460 --> 00:32:27,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">I won't let you just die as you please.</font>
360
00:32:27,100 --> 00:32:34,640
<font face="Joan" size="60">But you've decided on it.</font>
361
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,640
<font face="Joan" size="60">And if you're really going to die...</font>
362
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">do it after we settle things.</font>
363
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Good grief. You brought that with you?</font>
364
00:32:47,950 --> 00:32:50,970
<font face="Joan" size="60">We play a game...</font>
365
00:32:50,970 --> 00:32:55,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">and If I lose, I die.</font>
366
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">Cut my belly open!</font>
367
00:33:02,260 --> 00:33:07,420
<font face="Joan" size="60">And in reverse, if I win...</font>
368
00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:11,590
<font face="Joan" size="60">You live.</font>
369
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:13,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">That seems like fun.</font>
370
00:33:13,930 --> 00:33:16,080
<font face="Joan" size="60">I won't belabor the point...</font>
371
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">as it's depressing</font>
372
00:33:19,270 --> 00:33:21,420
<font face="Joan" size="60">so I'll cut it short...</font>
373
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:24,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'd much prefer entering into a game with you</font>
374
00:33:24,770 --> 00:33:28,590
<font face="Joan" size="60">and would therefore really like to accept, but...</font>
375
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:30,780
<font face="Joan" size="60">it's just a little bit impossible.</font>
376
00:33:30,780 --> 00:33:32,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hunh?</font>
377
00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:38,750
<font face="Joan" size="60">Soga, I don't understand that stuff so well anymore.</font>
378
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:02,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">Who said we'd play Mahjong?</font>
379
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">We use the tiles in a different way.</font>
380
00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Different way?
<font color="#00ffff">NINE.</font></font>
381
00:34:09,950 --> 00:34:12,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Nine?</font>
382
00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:25,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">Any tiles are fine but this time we'll use Pin tiles.</font>
383
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">First, we both...</font>
384
00:34:29,690 --> 00:34:32,960
<font face="Joan" size="60">gather tiles from 1 Pin to 9 Pin.</font>
385
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">these are our available pieces.</font>
386
00:34:37,330 --> 00:34:44,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">Then we each arrange our hand so the opponent can't see it.</font>
387
00:34:44,450 --> 00:34:50,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Place any tile upside down.</font>
388
00:34:54,280 --> 00:35:01,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Turn the tiles over and the highest value wins. It's that sort of game.</font>
389
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">The winning side takes the losing side's tile.</font>
390
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">Each side's points are tiles they've won.</font>
391
00:35:11,330 --> 00:35:14,110
<font face="Joan" size="60">For example this is 9 points.</font>
392
00:35:14,110 --> 00:35:17,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">If there's a tie...</font>
393
00:35:17,770 --> 00:35:22,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">the tiles remain on the table, and neither side gets them.</font>
394
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,780
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's all there is to it.</font>
395
00:35:25,780 --> 00:35:29,800
<font face="Joan" size="60">Play this 9 times, and in the end...</font>
396
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">The side with more total points
takes the game.</font>
397
00:35:34,930 --> 00:35:37,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">Okay.</font>
398
00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:40,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">This tile game seems like fun.</font>
399
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">Shall we?</font>
400
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,780
<font face="Joan" size="60">How...</font>
401
00:38:38,780 --> 00:38:41,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">I chose my tiles almost entirely at random...</font>
402
00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:45,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">how did he know them?</font>
403
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just what's going on?</font>
404
00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:17,790
<font face="Joan" size="60">5 in a row.</font>
405
00:39:17,790 --> 00:39:22,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is crazy. How can this happen?</font>
406
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,430
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is like a bad dream or something.</font>
407
00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:29,610
<font face="Joan" size="60">Soga...</font>
408
00:39:29,610 --> 00:39:33,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't want to ask this but
if we play all tied hands...</font>
409
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">There's no victor. No rematch.</font>
410
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:39,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">We go back to before this bet was proposed.</font>
411
00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:44,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is to say: You live. I die.</font>
412
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">We pay this no mind.</font>
413
00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:50,420
<font face="Joan" size="60">Oh...</font>
414
00:39:50,420 --> 00:39:54,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">If we tie, I'll let you die.</font>
415
00:39:54,090 --> 00:39:57,110
<font face="Joan" size="60">Do as you like!</font>
416
00:39:57,110 --> 00:40:00,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">Agreed.</font>
417
00:41:02,270 --> 00:41:06,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">My god. How the hell did this happen?</font>
418
00:41:06,930 --> 00:41:09,430
<font face="Joan" size="60">You freak!</font>
419
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:20,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">But facing you one on one like this...</font>
420
00:41:20,540 --> 00:41:24,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">makes me happy.</font>
421
00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:31,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">I suspect I won't again meet...</font>
422
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">a man quite like you.</font>
423
00:41:37,460 --> 00:41:40,110
<font face="Joan" size="60">There's no real reason for it...</font>
424
00:41:40,110 --> 00:41:43,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">No reason for you to die.</font>
425
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,430
<font face="Joan" size="60">Why not just get old and feeble?</font>
426
00:41:46,430 --> 00:41:53,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">Enjoy your life with what little awareness you have left.</font>
427
00:41:53,310 --> 00:41:55,430
<font face="Joan" size="60">What, drinking tea?</font>
428
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:59,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes. There is some happiness in that.</font>
429
00:41:59,260 --> 00:42:01,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't need happiness like that.</font>
430
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:07,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">Without the Game, It's meaningless.</font>
431
00:42:07,770 --> 00:42:09,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">Meaningless?</font>
432
00:42:09,770 --> 00:42:14,610
<font face="Joan" size="60">For me, the Game is all.</font>
433
00:42:14,610 --> 00:42:19,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">Oh come on. Just what are you saying?</font>
434
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:21,470
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's nonsense.</font>
435
00:42:21,470 --> 00:42:23,420
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's not EVERYTHING.</font>
436
00:42:23,420 --> 00:42:27,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">There's other things. Drinking and women and the like.</font>
437
00:42:27,340 --> 00:42:29,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">Those things are just filler.</font>
438
00:42:29,930 --> 00:42:32,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">A mere respite.</font>
439
00:42:32,950 --> 00:42:38,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just a breather between one Game and the next.</font>
440
00:42:38,290 --> 00:42:41,110
<font face="Joan" size="60">Come on now Akagi.</font>
441
00:42:41,110 --> 00:42:44,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's wrong.</font>
442
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's a very twisted way of thinking.</font>
443
00:42:46,950 --> 00:42:48,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Indeed it is.</font>
444
00:42:48,950 --> 00:42:51,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm twisted.</font>
445
00:42:51,450 --> 00:42:54,750
<font face="Joan" size="60">I take pride in having lived my whole life like that.</font>
446
00:42:57,940 --> 00:43:01,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Soga, that's what I mean.</font>
447
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,600
<font face="Joan" size="60">And without it, let me die.</font>
448
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:10,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's all that's left for me.
The only path left for me to take.</font>
449
00:43:15,940 --> 00:43:17,960
<font face="Joan" size="60">He's twisted...</font>
450
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,110
<font face="Joan" size="60">But that above all is why Akagi...</font>
451
00:43:21,110 --> 00:43:27,990
<font face="Joan" size="60">has these superhuman abilities.</font>
452
00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:33,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">If we tie this next hand, there are two remaining.</font>
453
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:38,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is to say this 7th hand effectively decides the game.</font>
454
00:43:56,300 --> 00:43:59,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">What's wrong. Hurry up and out with it.</font>
455
00:44:46,300 --> 00:44:48,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's over.</font>
456
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
457
00:45:05,650 --> 00:45:07,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">What's he doing?</font>
458
00:45:07,950 --> 00:45:10,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">There's no need to play further.</font>
459
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:16,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">A tied game is already guaranteed.</font>
460
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">Does he not understand that?</font>
461
00:45:18,930 --> 00:45:22,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">That at 7 hands a tie is guaranteed?</font>
462
00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:30,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Or even which tile has the higher value?</font>
463
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:35,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">No he doesn't. Except...</font>
464
00:45:35,450 --> 00:45:39,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">I see. It's Instinct.</font>
465
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi's gambling instinct...</font>
466
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">For Akagi, this tie is the best possible outcome.</font>
467
00:45:47,460 --> 00:45:53,960
<font face="Joan" size="60">Did he just decide to complete the game as a perfect draw?</font>
468
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">What?</font>
469
00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:05,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">Nothing...</font>
470
00:46:36,270 --> 00:46:41,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">With that all 9 hands are tied.</font>
471
00:46:41,130 --> 00:46:43,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">Look at it.</font>
472
00:46:43,770 --> 00:46:48,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">Has something like this ever happened before?</font>
473
00:46:48,090 --> 00:46:54,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">This can't happen by even remote chance.</font>
474
00:46:54,090 --> 00:46:59,530
<font face="Joan" size="60">No one in the world could understand such a thing...</font>
475
00:46:59,530 --> 00:47:02,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">No one in the world, but you.
Soga.</font>
476
00:47:04,770 --> 00:47:06,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're wrong.</font>
477
00:47:11,190 --> 00:47:15,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">It was my playing against YOU that made this happen.</font>
478
00:47:24,770 --> 00:47:30,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi. Enough.</font>
479
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes. Enough.</font>
480
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:37,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Surely a lingering death doesn't suit a man like you.</font>
481
00:47:37,950 --> 00:47:44,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're someone who has lived beyond what we normal people</font>
482
00:47:44,130 --> 00:47:48,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">can feel or understand.</font>
483
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Someone beyond humanity.</font>
484
00:47:50,950 --> 00:48:01,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">And someone beyond humanity deserves to die beyond humanity.</font>
485
00:48:01,460 --> 00:48:04,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">I admit it.</font>
486
00:48:04,260 --> 00:48:11,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is the true nature of Akagi Shigeru.</font>
487
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,270
<font face="Joan" size="60">Are you alright, sir?</font>
488
00:48:32,270 --> 00:48:40,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">I think probably no one will be able to stop him.
Such willful stubbornness.</font>
489
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">I see.</font>
490
00:48:51,930 --> 00:48:54,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">It troubles me.</font>
491
00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:59,000
<font face="Joan" size="60">That an old man like me should live</font>
492
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:08,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">and Akagi, so full of life as to do something like that, should die.</font>
493
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">But it was beautiful, what he showed me.</font>
494
00:49:11,950 --> 00:49:13,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hunh?</font>
495
00:49:13,930 --> 00:49:23,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">A string of dazzling lights.
It was like the Milky Way.</font>
496
00:49:26,940 --> 00:49:32,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">He showed me a miracle, just now.</font>
497
00:49:32,580 --> 00:49:36,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">A miracle?</font>
498
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,590
<font face="Joan" size="60">Could you believe it?</font>
499
00:49:39,590 --> 00:49:45,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">Playing a game of Nine, and tying all hands.</font>
500
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:49,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">T-That's...</font>
501
00:49:49,950 --> 00:49:52,620
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is for the best.</font>
502
00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:57,620
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is a suitable way for Akagi to die.</font>
503
00:50:00,030 --> 00:50:04,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi was most certainly a great genius...</font>
504
00:50:04,950 --> 00:50:12,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">but at the same time he was a failure at human relationships.</font>
505
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:25,600
<font face="Joan" size="60">And he survived his entire life relying on only his own abilities.</font>
506
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:33,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">So if he loses them, he can but die.</font>
507
00:50:35,930 --> 00:50:43,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's okay. It's okay if you decide you don't need it.</font>
508
00:50:43,940 --> 00:50:52,260
<font face="Joan" size="60">You don't have to go on living forever.
<font color="#00ffff">Yessir.</font></font>
509
00:50:52,260 --> 00:51:02,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">How many people has that misconception hurt?</font>
510
00:51:02,710 --> 00:51:05,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">As much as possible...</font>
511
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:12,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">people want to live freely, and die just as freely.</font>
512
00:51:16,270 --> 00:51:22,940
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's all Akagi wants to do.</font>
513
00:51:22,940 --> 00:51:28,320
<font face="Joan" size="60">Not a difficult thing to say at all.</font>
514
00:51:30,950 --> 00:51:33,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's a relief.</font>
515
00:51:36,290 --> 00:51:41,650
<font face="Joan" size="60">Feels like a gentle breeze blowing through your heart.</font>
516
00:51:41,650 --> 00:51:45,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">No reason to feel ashamed.</font>
517
00:51:45,950 --> 00:51:50,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's okay for us to die.</font>
518
00:51:53,610 --> 00:51:59,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">when our time is up.</font>
519
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:34,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">All things considered, I've been thinking.</font>
520
00:52:34,030 --> 00:52:38,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">Maybe it's a crass reminder...</font>
521
00:52:38,010 --> 00:52:44,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">But do you not have even 1% of a desire to live?</font>
522
00:52:47,690 --> 00:52:52,680
<font face="Joan" size="60">Is it zero? Tell me straight.</font>
523
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">Somewhere between 1 and 3%.</font>
524
00:52:56,860 --> 00:53:02,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">
<font color="#00ffff">Hunh?
<font color="#ffff00">3% of me wants to live.
You can't but have a lingering attachment.</font></font></font>
525
00:53:02,020 --> 00:53:03,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hey! And if you do it...</font>
526
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,680
<font face="Joan" size="60"><font color="#00ffff">Harada. That 3% can't be helped.</font></font>
527
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">What do you mean?</font>
528
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:15,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">The desire to go on living can never be entirely extinguished.</font>
529
00:53:15,350 --> 00:53:19,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">There's an admixture of about 3%
No matter how hard you try.</font>
530
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">Consequently I can only just accept it.</font>
531
00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:30,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's just not that easy to die,
so you can only resign yourself to that taste of death.</font>
532
00:53:30,450 --> 00:53:32,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">Now, this machine...</font>
533
00:53:32,350 --> 00:53:36,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">It can be switched on and off with 100% surety...</font>
534
00:53:36,020 --> 00:53:38,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">people are a little more troublesome.</font>
535
00:53:38,690 --> 00:53:41,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">Or in reverse...</font>
536
00:53:41,060 --> 00:53:46,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">Normal life always has some percentage of a desire to die mixed in.</font>
537
00:53:46,350 --> 00:53:49,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">Desire to die?</font>
538
00:53:49,340 --> 00:53:54,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well, I had it at any rate.
That sensibility.</font>
539
00:53:54,020 --> 00:53:59,430
<font face="Joan" size="60">Such that at a critical moment,
to die rather than be saved...</font>
540
00:53:59,430 --> 00:54:02,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">The possibility of that choice is mixed in.</font>
541
00:54:02,030 --> 00:54:06,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">At the critical juncture, to at one stroke turn towards death.</font>
542
00:54:06,340 --> 00:54:11,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">I see. That can't be matched.</font>
543
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">Even if you can read a person who wants to live...</font>
544
00:54:15,410 --> 00:54:18,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">People willing to die...</font>
545
00:54:18,010 --> 00:54:25,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">Turning towards death
They can't be understood. Can't be read.</font>
546
00:54:29,190 --> 00:54:32,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">I can't understand this talk of half dead men.</font>
547
00:54:32,030 --> 00:54:35,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ha ha ha.</font>
548
00:54:35,350 --> 00:54:37,680
<font face="Joan" size="60">Okay, enough.</font>
549
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:45,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">If just a little bit of you wants to live
then live dammit!</font>
550
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:51,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't want to repeat it ad nauseam.
but that's how anyone would see it.</font>
551
00:54:51,730 --> 00:54:55,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">You don't get it, do you.</font>
552
00:54:55,020 --> 00:54:58,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're an acquisitive man
so you can't understand.</font>
553
00:54:58,350 --> 00:55:01,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">Acquisitive?
<font color="#00ffff">It's that simple.</font></font>
554
00:55:01,690 --> 00:55:05,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">You might have noticed it too, however faintly.</font>
555
00:55:05,210 --> 00:55:09,990
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're barely alive yourself</font>
556
00:55:09,990 --> 00:55:12,200
<font face="Joan" size="60">What?</font>
557
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:18,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're suffering, and therefore
on the very edge, the precipice of death.</font>
558
00:55:20,780 --> 00:55:25,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">The hell are you talking about?
I don't understand you at all.</font>
559
00:55:25,030 --> 00:55:28,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's because you've acquired far too much.</font>
560
00:55:28,700 --> 00:55:33,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">You've piled up too much success.</font>
561
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:38,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">Okay now.
Just what is it you're trying to say?</font>
562
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">You can't move, can you?</font>
563
00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:46,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">Right now you can't move can you? To your satisfaction.</font>
564
00:55:50,690 --> 00:55:55,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well, at first your success was necessary, meaningful.</font>
565
00:55:55,710 --> 00:56:00,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">People's lives are brightened by winning.</font>
566
00:56:00,130 --> 00:56:04,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">And you linked that brilliance in life with first success.</font>
567
00:56:04,370 --> 00:56:06,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">But for some reason...</font>
568
00:56:06,370 --> 00:56:11,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">When piled atop itself, at a certain point its nature changes</font>
569
00:56:11,340 --> 00:56:18,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">Success doesn't make your life shine out, but rather becomes a shackle.</font>
570
00:56:18,020 --> 00:56:25,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">At some time it comes to dominate us
Take us over.</font>
571
00:56:25,710 --> 00:56:31,080
<font face="Joan" size="60">Success comes to demand a life of continued success.</font>
572
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">Truly, to venture failing...</font>
573
00:56:34,130 --> 00:56:36,020
<font face="Joan" size="60">or to take it slow...</font>
574
00:56:36,020 --> 00:56:38,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">people should have those choices...</font>
575
00:56:38,700 --> 00:56:42,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">but success piled on success won't allow that.</font>
576
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:48,360
<font face="Joan" size="60">Thus you're a Yakuza boss who can do anything he wishes...</font>
577
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">but that's not the half of it!</font>
578
00:56:50,370 --> 00:56:55,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">Competing among the Kansai 12,
The head of a giant organization...</font>
579
00:56:55,350 --> 00:57:00,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">And Harada Katsumi himself can't change.</font>
580
00:57:03,450 --> 00:57:08,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Harada, I'll try to say it straight out.</font>
581
00:57:08,030 --> 00:57:12,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's driving you mad, isn't it.</font>
582
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:20,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">All in the glorified name of success...</font>
583
00:57:20,010 --> 00:57:24,370
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're in a coffin.</font>
584
00:57:24,370 --> 00:57:28,690
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're confined beyond bearing.</font>
585
00:57:28,690 --> 00:57:33,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">A life like death.</font>
586
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:55,680
<font face="Joan" size="60">So. I see.</font>
587
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:00,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">While alive, I'm half dead.</font>
588
00:58:00,090 --> 00:58:03,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">At any rate, not alive enough.</font>
589
00:58:03,670 --> 00:58:06,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">I didn't notice.</font>
590
00:58:06,730 --> 00:58:11,800
<font face="Joan" size="60">Such an observation, an intuition.</font>
591
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:17,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">It just may be true, Akagi.</font>
592
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:31,000
<font face="Joan" size="60">The next guest, if you please.</font>
593
00:58:38,340 --> 00:58:40,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm off.</font>
594
00:58:53,490 --> 00:59:00,160
<font face="Joan" size="60">There are here 18 tiles, 2 of each between 1 Pin and 9 Pin.</font>
595
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is, there are two 1 Pin tiles...</font>
596
00:59:04,550 --> 00:59:08,820
<font face="Joan" size="60">and if you can draw those two 1 Pin tiles one after the other...</font>
597
00:59:08,820 --> 00:59:13,810
<font face="Joan" size="60">I will, in respect of that miracle, choose to live.</font>
598
00:59:13,810 --> 00:59:17,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">I will have a change of heart, and survive.</font>
599
00:59:17,210 --> 00:59:18,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">Really?</font>
600
00:59:18,710 --> 00:59:20,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Correct.</font>
601
00:59:20,250 --> 00:59:23,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">But if you don't draw them consecutively...</font>
602
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">I take an arm.</font>
603
00:59:36,830 --> 00:59:39,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">What will you do?</font>
604
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:46,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">Two tiles among 18
the first draw probability is 2 in 18.</font>
605
00:59:46,890 --> 00:59:49,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">The second draw is 1 in 17.</font>
606
00:59:49,490 --> 00:59:53,160
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is to say, it's 153 to 1.</font>
607
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">a terrible probability.</font>
608
00:59:56,580 --> 01:00:01,140
<font face="Joan" size="60">He's thinking it over!</font>
609
01:00:01,140 --> 01:00:03,160
<font face="Joan" size="60">Enough, Hiro.</font>
610
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:10,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you want me to live, just do it.</font>
611
01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:15,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't think about the possibility of losing.
Hunh?</font>
612
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:20,140
<font face="Joan" size="60">In a situation like this
bet on winning.</font>
613
01:00:20,140 --> 01:00:23,140
<font face="Joan" size="60">But the likelihood is too...</font>
614
01:00:23,140 --> 01:00:26,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you lose, just squeeze out of it.</font>
615
01:00:26,580 --> 01:00:30,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">One arm. You shouldn't honor such a stupid bet.</font>
616
01:00:30,150 --> 01:00:34,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">Some moron who's going to die won't know if you kept your promise or not.</font>
617
01:00:34,170 --> 01:00:36,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's...</font>
618
01:00:38,260 --> 01:00:45,660
<font face="Joan" size="60">You don't have any of that slyness or irresponsibility.</font>
619
01:00:48,170 --> 01:00:52,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ah. Why do you have that tile...</font>
620
01:00:52,170 --> 01:00:54,170
<font face="Joan" size="60">dear god</font>
621
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:05,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">Playing by the rules
is just run-of-the mill playing.</font>
622
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:09,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">Your honesty won't get you far.</font>
623
01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:12,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">Lose your footing and it's all over.</font>
624
01:01:12,490 --> 01:01:15,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is, it's okay to be more irresponsible.</font>
625
01:01:15,180 --> 01:01:20,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">In a game, being too careful...</font>
626
01:01:20,150 --> 01:01:22,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">is a bad habit.</font>
627
01:01:24,150 --> 01:01:27,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
628
01:01:27,490 --> 01:01:32,790
<font face="Joan" size="60">I dare say, this has hindered you.</font>
629
01:01:42,150 --> 01:01:44,520
<font face="Joan" size="60">How did you...</font>
630
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">You entire body gives of a sense of being clouded.</font>
631
01:01:47,950 --> 01:01:49,830
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hunh?</font>
632
01:01:49,830 --> 01:01:52,830
<font face="Joan" size="60">Life itself is brilliance.</font>
633
01:01:52,830 --> 01:01:58,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">Those from which you feel no brilliance,
take no joy in life.</font>
634
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,140
<font face="Joan" size="60">Why do they take no joy in life...</font>
635
01:02:01,140 --> 01:02:04,490
<font face="Joan" size="60">That can be said terribly simply.</font>
636
01:02:04,490 --> 01:02:08,160
<font face="Joan" size="60">They're not moving forward.</font>
637
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:16,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">You understand that, don't you
These past three years, what have you done?</font>
638
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:26,160
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't understand.
I don't understand what you're saying, Akagi.</font>
639
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't you?</font>
640
01:02:28,150 --> 01:02:31,820
<font face="Joan" size="60">Even If I think I can do something, my desire vanishes at the start.</font>
641
01:02:31,820 --> 01:02:35,510
<font face="Joan" size="60">I just don't understand people who feel as you.</font>
642
01:02:35,510 --> 01:02:40,510
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's because
you're someone who can do anything.</font>
643
01:02:40,510 --> 01:02:42,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">Is that so?</font>
644
01:02:42,540 --> 01:02:45,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes, it is.</font>
645
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:51,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">But even if that were the case...</font>
646
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:56,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">such a talent has no bearing on life itself.</font>
647
01:02:56,500 --> 01:03:05,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">Among so called "normal" people
there are many who live their life fully, aren't there?</font>
648
01:03:05,150 --> 01:03:10,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't decide.
Don't decide you're not going to win.</font>
649
01:03:12,660 --> 01:03:16,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">But...
It's not about knowing or understanding...</font>
650
01:03:18,330 --> 01:03:23,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't even know whether you win or lose.</font>
651
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's the crux isn't it?
Even if you lose.</font>
652
01:03:27,340 --> 01:03:29,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">Eh?</font>
653
01:03:32,650 --> 01:03:37,650
<font face="Joan" size="60">If you do something, it's okay if it ends in failure.</font>
654
01:03:37,650 --> 01:03:42,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">In that regard small, trivial failures are fine, certainly.</font>
655
01:03:42,670 --> 01:03:47,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">But large failures with a great bearing on your life...</font>
656
01:03:47,010 --> 01:03:49,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">Those are fine too.</font>
657
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:57,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">What the world considers a failed life is fine too.</font>
658
01:03:57,010 --> 01:04:00,330
<font face="Joan" size="60">Oh, no.
That's nonsense.</font>
659
01:04:00,330 --> 01:04:02,660
<font face="Joan" size="60">How can you say that's fine?
A life like that.</font>
660
01:04:02,660 --> 01:04:05,510
<font face="Joan" size="60">A failed life, that's like saying...</font>
661
01:04:05,510 --> 01:04:09,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're not recognized by anyone, disrespected, disliked</font>
662
01:04:09,450 --> 01:04:13,650
<font face="Joan" size="60">being despised and in poverty,
Is that the life you're talking about?</font>
663
01:04:17,180 --> 01:04:18,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">That guy's a mess.</font>
664
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:24,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">Right?
Rather than falling into such... such a state..</font>
665
01:04:24,460 --> 01:04:27,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">even how I am now is more respectable!</font>
666
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,640
<font face="Joan" size="60">Do you see what I'm saying?</font>
667
01:04:35,340 --> 01:04:37,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">There it is. Just as I thought.</font>
668
01:04:37,350 --> 01:04:39,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">What?</font>
669
01:04:40,860 --> 01:04:44,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">You said it just now.
"Even how I am now is more respectable"</font>
670
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,840
<font face="Joan" size="60">And what is that "respectable"?</font>
671
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">Average, ordinary behavior?</font>
672
01:04:51,870 --> 01:04:54,500
<font face="Joan" size="60">Simply living without shame?</font>
673
01:04:54,500 --> 01:04:56,460
<font face="Joan" size="60">No, it's...</font>
674
01:04:56,460 --> 01:04:58,400
<font face="Joan" size="60">No, that's it!</font>
675
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,780
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's the heart of what's afflicting you.</font>
676
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">Wanting to be normal in your values and thoughts.</font>
677
01:05:09,890 --> 01:05:12,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">Caught between ambitions...</font>
678
01:05:12,220 --> 01:05:18,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">that sleep withing your heart.
that's suffering.</font>
679
01:05:22,580 --> 01:05:30,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">It feels wrong, doesn't it?
A "proper" person. A "proper" life.</font>
680
01:05:30,670 --> 01:05:35,070
<font face="Joan" size="60">There aren't any such things. Never were.</font>
681
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">Today that's all...</font>
682
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:44,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">I really wanted to say.</font>
683
01:05:44,930 --> 01:05:47,350
<font face="Joan" size="60">You surely...</font>
684
01:05:47,350 --> 01:05:49,850
<font face="Joan" size="60">seemed caught up in that trap.</font>
685
01:05:51,900 --> 01:05:53,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
686
01:05:53,930 --> 01:05:56,320
<font face="Joan" size="60">Of course I understand your feelings.</font>
687
01:05:56,320 --> 01:05:58,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">Everyone wants success.</font>
688
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:03,620
<font face="Joan" size="60">Money, rank, fame.
People long for those things.</font>
689
01:06:03,940 --> 01:06:06,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">But
They aren't life.</font>
690
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">Those things are mere decorations.</font>
691
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,320
<font face="Joan" size="60">But what you DO for that success...</font>
692
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:18,960
<font face="Joan" size="60">living for that passion.</font>
693
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,440
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's what's real.</font>
694
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,780
<font face="Joan" size="60">Do you understand?</font>
695
01:06:28,380 --> 01:06:31,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm not saying you shouldn't aim for success.</font>
696
01:06:31,860 --> 01:06:38,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">Regard it,
but stop being vexed by it.</font>
697
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,980
<font face="Joan" size="60">without losing your zeal.</font>
698
01:06:40,980 --> 01:06:43,820
<font face="Joan" size="60">There's the rub.</font>
699
01:06:47,340 --> 01:06:51,990
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's fine you know, being third-rate.</font>
700
01:06:51,990 --> 01:06:56,000
<font face="Joan" size="60">a third-rate person with that spark is best of all.</font>
701
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Pay it no mind.</font>
702
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:04,380
<font face="Joan" size="60">Like some story that doesn't matter.</font>
703
01:07:04,380 --> 01:07:07,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">And don't fear it.</font>
704
01:07:07,010 --> 01:07:13,680
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't fear failure.</font>
705
01:07:16,020 --> 01:07:26,340
<font face="Joan" size="60">So, set off already
towards a life far away from that propriety.</font>
706
01:07:34,030 --> 01:07:37,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
707
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">When I came here, and heard your story...</font>
708
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">at first I thought, " well, that can't be helped."</font>
709
01:08:43,710 --> 01:08:47,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">You know,
because a man like Akagi Shigeru made up his mind.</font>
710
01:08:47,550 --> 01:08:51,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">We should all just nod and say this and that.</font>
711
01:08:51,550 --> 01:08:53,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's what I thought.</font>
712
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">That is to say, as long as you're still of sound mind...</font>
713
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:05,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">I shouldn't interfere.</font>
714
01:09:05,230 --> 01:09:13,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just shut up, and see him off.
That's what I thought.</font>
715
01:09:13,050 --> 01:09:15,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">HOWEVER</font>
716
01:09:18,410 --> 01:09:21,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">I changed my mind.</font>
717
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:28,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi, you can't die.</font>
718
01:09:28,740 --> 01:09:31,480
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're not done here.</font>
719
01:09:32,150 --> 01:09:34,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">What?</font>
720
01:09:38,380 --> 01:09:41,280
<font face="Joan" size="60">It was certainly unlucky.</font>
721
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,400
<font face="Joan" size="60">Getting Alzheimer's of all things...</font>
722
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:47,070
<font face="Joan" size="60">the most incurable of diseases to modern medicine...</font>
723
01:09:47,070 --> 01:09:49,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">The ultimate misfortune.</font>
724
01:09:51,940 --> 01:09:55,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">But that misfortune...</font>
725
01:09:55,560 --> 01:10:01,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">Even with that disease, it's still the life of Akagi Shigeru we're talking about.</font>
726
01:10:05,370 --> 01:10:09,390
<font face="Joan" size="60">And supposing the disease progresses, and you forget yourself...</font>
727
01:10:09,390 --> 01:10:11,900
<font face="Joan" size="60">making all kinds of errors and mistakes...</font>
728
01:10:11,900 --> 01:10:14,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">even with those, you're still Akagi Shigeru.</font>
729
01:10:14,300 --> 01:10:19,700
<font face="Joan" size="60">That remains until the end of Akagi Shigeru's life.</font>
730
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:21,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">I see.</font>
731
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's not that I can't understand what you're saying.</font>
732
01:10:24,710 --> 01:10:26,900
<font face="Joan" size="60">I respect it, be that as it may.</font>
733
01:10:26,900 --> 01:10:28,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">but that only applies...</font>
734
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">to those that want that.</font>
735
01:10:31,050 --> 01:10:34,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">But for me? Sorry.</font>
736
01:10:34,050 --> 01:10:36,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">that's cherry picking.</font>
737
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just listen.</font>
738
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">However much people wish to avoid it
it's only natural to die.</font>
739
01:10:43,550 --> 01:10:46,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ordinarily I'd leave it at that.</font>
740
01:10:46,230 --> 01:10:48,620
<font face="Joan" size="60">But in this particular situation...</font>
741
01:10:48,620 --> 01:10:54,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'd be on the brink of death within a few years.</font>
742
01:10:54,210 --> 01:10:58,790
<font face="Joan" size="60">And I would certainly become dependent on someone for help.</font>
743
01:10:58,790 --> 01:11:01,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's unacceptable.</font>
744
01:11:01,230 --> 01:11:04,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">If I can't maintain my independence...</font>
745
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">I choose death, come what may.</font>
746
01:11:10,890 --> 01:11:16,590
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ten, is what I'm saying really so strange?</font>
747
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">When this sort of thing happens, for some reason...</font>
748
01:11:22,450 --> 01:11:25,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">everyone shouts out like a chorus, "Live! Live!".</font>
749
01:11:25,570 --> 01:11:28,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">they say you inarguably must live...</font>
750
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:32,590
<font face="Joan" size="60">but in the end, is that really true?</font>
751
01:11:32,590 --> 01:11:37,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just medical treatments solely to keep one alive...</font>
752
01:11:37,150 --> 01:11:41,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just doctors who are eager to prolong the life of patients...</font>
753
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:46,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">What the Chorus says is all basically the same isn't it?</font>
754
01:11:46,910 --> 01:11:50,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">And it never includes the patient's wishes.</font>
755
01:11:50,230 --> 01:11:53,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">Just keep them alive another minute, another second.
Congratulations!</font>
756
01:11:53,100 --> 01:11:56,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't you think that's strange?</font>
757
01:11:56,220 --> 01:11:58,400
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's okay for people to die.</font>
758
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:00,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">I will die.</font>
759
01:12:00,740 --> 01:12:07,640
<font face="Joan" size="60">Life comes second.
Who I am is more important.</font>
760
01:12:09,550 --> 01:12:11,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi, you're wrong.</font>
761
01:12:11,550 --> 01:12:18,150
<font face="Joan" size="60">What meaning is there in a life where my Essential Self is gone?</font>
762
01:12:20,210 --> 01:12:22,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's completely wrong.</font>
763
01:12:22,210 --> 01:12:24,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">You can't lose that
No matter what you're still Akagi Shigeru.</font>
764
01:12:24,710 --> 01:12:28,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">You're repeating yourself.</font>
765
01:12:28,130 --> 01:12:31,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Certainly, who I am can't entirely disappear...</font>
766
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">something will likely remain, but I don't need that.</font>
767
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">that self...</font>
768
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">Isn't that just too narrow minded?</font>
769
01:12:40,310 --> 01:12:43,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">How can you decide on something so arbitrarily? That it's "meaningless"</font>
770
01:12:56,410 --> 01:12:58,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">How 'bout a drink?</font>
771
01:13:18,750 --> 01:13:22,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Drink with me. One last drink.</font>
772
01:13:39,070 --> 01:13:42,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't make that face.</font>
773
01:13:42,740 --> 01:13:45,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">This really isn't so bad I think.</font>
774
01:13:45,230 --> 01:13:49,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">You could say
I've lived over 50 years like this.</font>
775
01:13:49,100 --> 01:13:53,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">of course, getting sick was a bad stroke of luck.</font>
776
01:13:53,550 --> 01:13:55,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">The worst.</font>
777
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">The worst, but
Somehow...</font>
778
01:13:59,410 --> 01:14:03,750
<font face="Joan" size="60">I can die as who I am.</font>
779
01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:05,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">And that's enough.</font>
780
01:14:12,220 --> 01:14:16,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hey. Raise your glass.</font>
781
01:14:16,570 --> 01:14:18,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">Won't you drink with me?</font>
782
01:14:21,660 --> 01:14:23,960
<font face="Joan" size="60">My last drink.</font>
783
01:14:57,170 --> 01:15:00,970
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's about time, don't you think?</font>
784
01:15:04,540 --> 01:15:06,540
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
785
01:15:06,540 --> 01:15:12,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">Thank you Ten.</font>
786
01:15:12,230 --> 01:15:14,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">This is goodbye.</font>
787
01:15:21,220 --> 01:15:23,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">No.</font>
788
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:26,380
<font face="Joan" size="60">A thousand times no.
I can't let it end like this.</font>
789
01:15:26,380 --> 01:15:30,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">After all
there's still something you haven't done.</font>
790
01:15:30,210 --> 01:15:32,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hunh?</font>
791
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Something the mass of humanity...</font>
792
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">achieve in this world before they die...</font>
793
01:15:37,220 --> 01:15:40,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">but for some reason Akagi hasn't.</font>
794
01:15:43,540 --> 01:15:48,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">You've been preoccupied, haven't you.</font>
795
01:15:48,050 --> 01:15:52,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">Preoccupied with Gambling
Living too much like a Yakuza.</font>
796
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:58,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">And living as a Yakuza, in that dissipation...</font>
797
01:15:58,730 --> 01:16:04,130
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi Shigeru lost his chance... at a family.</font>
798
01:16:09,890 --> 01:16:12,290
<font face="Joan" size="60">I've never heard anything...</font>
799
01:16:12,290 --> 01:16:17,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">having to do with Akagi Shigeru's family.</font>
800
01:16:17,550 --> 01:16:22,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">Perhaps he doesn't have any.</font>
801
01:16:22,220 --> 01:16:25,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yeah, that must be the case..</font>
802
01:16:25,220 --> 01:16:28,140
<font face="Joan" size="60">Because now that he's dying
none of them are here.</font>
803
01:16:28,140 --> 01:16:30,390
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yeah. so he doesn't have any.</font>
804
01:16:30,390 --> 01:16:32,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">Since we first met...</font>
805
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">I can't recall you ever hanging out with someone...</font>
806
01:16:35,710 --> 01:16:39,380
<font face="Joan" size="60">or talking with anyone...</font>
807
01:16:39,380 --> 01:16:43,040
<font face="Joan" size="60">You always kept your distance.</font>
808
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:45,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">and never made deep connections with anyone.</font>
809
01:16:45,890 --> 01:16:49,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">Now that I think of it...</font>
810
01:16:49,930 --> 01:16:51,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">You shunned them.</font>
811
01:16:54,980 --> 01:16:57,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's weakening isn't it.</font>
812
01:16:57,890 --> 01:17:02,090
<font face="Joan" size="60">So then, what if someone who didn't care if they died,
just didn't.</font>
813
01:17:10,230 --> 01:17:15,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">But that would be fine.
You'll simply retire.</font>
814
01:17:15,890 --> 01:17:18,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">With your sickness
it's to be expected Akagi Shigeru...</font>
815
01:17:18,060 --> 01:17:20,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">would retire from competition.</font>
816
01:17:20,220 --> 01:17:25,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">That said,
there's nothing really to be down about.</font>
817
01:17:25,210 --> 01:17:29,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">And what comes next?</font>
818
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">The family that Akagi Shigeru never had.</font>
819
01:17:31,890 --> 01:17:35,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">We can make one.</font>
820
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:41,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">You know, I got married.</font>
821
01:17:41,930 --> 01:17:46,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">So you could make yourself at home
and move in with us.</font>
822
01:17:46,720 --> 01:17:48,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">Shall we do this?</font>
823
01:17:50,890 --> 01:17:58,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">Little by little, becoming close.</font>
824
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:06,550
<font face="Joan" size="60">3 years, 5 years, 10 years...</font>
825
01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:15,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">Uneventful days living together...</font>
826
01:18:15,730 --> 01:18:21,650
<font face="Joan" size="60">sometimes getting angry,
and being bored with each other</font>
827
01:18:21,650 --> 01:18:24,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">Doing that, it gradually comes.</font>
828
01:18:24,060 --> 01:18:28,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">A family. It surely takes time.</font>
829
01:18:28,730 --> 01:18:31,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">Surely that can't be helped.</font>
830
01:18:31,060 --> 01:18:33,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">But...</font>
831
01:18:38,170 --> 01:18:42,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">We can finally get there by the time you die.</font>
832
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:57,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">Me, my little wife, and Akagi.</font>
833
01:18:57,740 --> 01:19:02,140
<font face="Joan" size="60">Not related by blood, but becoming a family.</font>
834
01:19:09,070 --> 01:19:13,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">Do that, then die.</font>
835
01:19:13,220 --> 01:19:15,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">Do this thing, then die.</font>
836
01:19:15,910 --> 01:19:24,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">Or else, I won't be able to die myself.</font>
837
01:19:29,700 --> 01:19:37,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">It will haunt me.</font>
838
01:19:37,230 --> 01:19:42,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">Letting Akagi Shigeru...</font>
839
01:19:42,730 --> 01:19:48,890
<font face="Joan" size="60">die all alone.</font>
840
01:19:48,890 --> 01:19:54,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">I couldn't bear it.</font>
841
01:20:05,890 --> 01:20:13,060
<font face="Joan" size="60">Thank you for those words, but...</font>
842
01:20:13,060 --> 01:20:15,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Let's stop this, shall we?</font>
843
01:20:15,050 --> 01:20:19,050
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
844
01:20:19,050 --> 01:20:21,990
<font face="Joan" size="60">You said it yourself, Ten.</font>
845
01:20:21,990 --> 01:20:27,390
<font face="Joan" size="60">My isolation
is not because no one asked.</font>
846
01:20:27,390 --> 01:20:30,750
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's because I did what I liked.</font>
847
01:20:30,750 --> 01:20:33,770
<font face="Joan" size="60">And if now the bill comes due...</font>
848
01:20:33,770 --> 01:20:37,300
<font face="Joan" size="60">and If I'm more or less alone at the end...</font>
849
01:20:37,300 --> 01:20:40,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">well, that can't be much helped.</font>
850
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,180
<font face="Joan" size="60">You might even say I deserve it.</font>
851
01:20:45,230 --> 01:20:47,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">No!</font>
852
01:20:47,570 --> 01:20:51,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's ME!</font>
853
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,720
<font face="Joan" size="60">I don't want to let you die!</font>
854
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,870
<font face="Joan" size="60">Me!</font>
855
01:20:56,870 --> 01:20:59,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's for ME...</font>
856
01:20:59,910 --> 01:21:03,210
<font face="Joan" size="60">I'm saying live for MY sake!</font>
857
01:21:13,580 --> 01:21:18,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">I never could beat you, could I.</font>
858
01:21:35,060 --> 01:21:37,880
<font face="Joan" size="60">A-Akagi...</font>
859
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">Thank you, Ten.</font>
860
01:21:41,220 --> 01:21:43,900
<font face="Joan" size="60">For those last, warm words.</font>
861
01:21:43,900 --> 01:21:46,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">You saved me.</font>
862
01:21:46,910 --> 01:21:49,810
<font face="Joan" size="60">I may have no family...</font>
863
01:21:49,810 --> 01:21:53,010
<font face="Joan" size="60">but I had friends.</font>
864
01:21:59,750 --> 01:22:02,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
865
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:06,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Later.</font>
866
01:22:12,900 --> 01:22:15,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hey! Hey, Akagi!</font>
867
01:22:15,250 --> 01:22:17,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hey!</font>
868
01:22:17,570 --> 01:22:19,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">How...</font>
869
01:22:19,740 --> 01:22:22,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">How can I make you understand!</font>
870
01:22:22,910 --> 01:22:28,070
<font face="Joan" size="60">You still have it don't you?
the spark of life!</font>
871
01:22:28,070 --> 01:22:30,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">It hasn't gone out yet, has it?</font>
872
01:22:30,570 --> 01:22:32,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">If it hasn't gone out...</font>
873
01:22:32,570 --> 01:22:34,670
<font face="Joan" size="60">some miracle might happen, you can't know!</font>
874
01:22:37,260 --> 01:22:39,630
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ten...</font>
875
01:22:39,630 --> 01:22:43,430
<font face="Joan" size="60">Of course I've thought of that...</font>
876
01:22:47,250 --> 01:22:52,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">but it's just a little late.</font>
877
01:22:52,410 --> 01:22:54,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">What?</font>
878
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:59,860
<font face="Joan" size="60">My mind is full of holes.</font>
879
01:23:04,550 --> 01:23:06,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">I've had a premonition.</font>
880
01:23:06,570 --> 01:23:09,120
<font face="Joan" size="60">in 2 or 3 days...</font>
881
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">no, perhaps even tomorrow...</font>
882
01:23:11,740 --> 01:23:18,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">within the next few days I'll lose the greater part of it.</font>
883
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,420
<font face="Joan" size="60">And if that happens...</font>
884
01:23:23,420 --> 01:23:37,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">Who I am now, that consciousness, that sentiment,
just might blow away.</font>
885
01:23:37,580 --> 01:23:39,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">That above all is why...</font>
886
01:23:45,410 --> 01:23:47,710
<font face="Joan" size="60">I must die.</font>
887
01:24:03,980 --> 01:24:09,400
<font face="Joan" size="60">How... how...</font>
888
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:13,100
<font face="Joan" size="60">Don't you regret what you've done Akagi?</font>
889
01:24:25,450 --> 01:24:31,950
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes. I regret it.</font>
890
01:24:36,730 --> 01:24:45,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">I regret dying.</font>
891
01:24:45,250 --> 01:24:53,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">But there was nothing else to be done.</font>
892
01:24:53,560 --> 01:25:00,160
<font face="Joan" size="60">Having regrets
is proof you're still alive.</font>
893
01:25:05,910 --> 01:25:12,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">Being alive
is a series of disappointments.</font>
894
01:25:12,910 --> 01:25:21,610
<font face="Joan" size="60">but maybe that's okay.</font>
895
01:25:21,610 --> 01:25:27,910
<font face="Joan" size="60">Regret makes your hopes shine out the more.</font>
896
01:25:36,150 --> 01:25:39,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">I didn't hate it.</font>
897
01:25:39,410 --> 01:25:45,080
<font face="Joan" size="60">Having hopes...</font>
898
01:25:45,080 --> 01:26:00,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">and also being at peace with how things are...</font>
899
01:26:00,930 --> 01:26:03,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">That's the way I liked to live.</font>
900
01:26:13,070 --> 01:26:27,070
<font face="Joan" size="60">Perhaps... I loved regret.</font>
901
01:26:33,230 --> 01:26:42,390
<font face="Joan" size="60">So...</font>
902
01:26:42,390 --> 01:26:50,760
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's okay like this.</font>
903
01:27:02,070 --> 01:27:04,070
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi...</font>
904
01:27:08,250 --> 01:27:11,580
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi!
Akagi-han
Akagi san!</font>
905
01:27:11,580 --> 01:27:14,640
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ten! What happened?</font>
906
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:20,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Akagi flipped the switch.</font>
907
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:33,740
<font face="Joan" size="60">So, they're here.</font>
908
01:27:33,740 --> 01:27:38,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">They've got good intuition, these guys.</font>
909
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,650
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's more than I deserve.</font>
910
01:27:41,650 --> 01:27:46,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">Ahh. My consciousness is far off..</font>
911
01:27:46,570 --> 01:27:50,920
<font face="Joan" size="60">Far off..</font>
912
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:55,030
<font face="Joan" size="60">Hmph. So this is death.</font>
913
01:27:55,030 --> 01:28:01,250
<font face="Joan" size="60">Well. It's not that scary.</font>
914
01:28:01,250 --> 01:28:03,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">for the most part...</font>
915
01:28:09,220 --> 01:28:13,410
<font face="Joan" size="60">Let it go.</font>
916
01:28:13,410 --> 01:28:17,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">What I noticed I held when I was born...</font>
917
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:24,450
<font face="Joan" size="60">This illusion, this consciousness of being Akagi Shigeru.</font>
918
01:28:24,450 --> 01:28:28,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Let it go, I'm done with it.</font>
919
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:33,650
<font face="Joan" size="60">Your last farewell from life isn't what you tell others...</font>
920
01:28:33,650 --> 01:28:36,420
<font face="Joan" size="60">and it isn't even what they tell you...</font>
921
01:28:36,420 --> 01:28:40,900
<font face="Joan" size="60">It's what I tell myself...</font>
922
01:28:40,900 --> 01:28:43,220
<font face="Joan" size="60">one last word.</font>
923
01:28:43,220 --> 01:28:50,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes. It's complete.</font>
924
01:28:50,730 --> 01:28:56,930
<font face="Joan" size="60">Perhaps death completes us.</font>
925
01:29:02,410 --> 01:29:05,560
<font face="Joan" size="60">The wind.</font>
926
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,570
<font face="Joan" size="60">What a gentle breeze.</font>
927
01:29:08,570 --> 01:29:12,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Scatter it.</font>
928
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,240
<font face="Joan" size="60">Myself, and that leaf both...</font>
929
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:20,230
<font face="Joan" size="60">So. So this is death.</font>
930
01:29:20,230 --> 01:29:26,730
<font face="Joan" size="60">Yes. Let it go.</font>
931
01:29:26,730 --> 01:29:31,310
<font face="Joan" size="60">Scatter Akagi Shigeru!</font>
932
01:30:17,100 --> 01:30:19,400
<font face="Joan" size="60">Fucking idiot.</font>
933
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:37,220
<font face="Joan" size="48">On September 26th (1999)
At age 53
Akagi Shigeru Passed On</font>
934
01:30:57,440 --> 01:30:59,060
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}Hey, Taguchi!</font>
935
01:30:59,060 --> 01:31:01,660
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}Uhh... No! No!</font>
936
01:31:01,440 --> 01:31:02,440
<font face="Joan" size="64" color="#00ffff">{\an8}You little prick</font>
937
01:31:02,440 --> 01:31:04,880
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}No, No, I didn't!</font>
938
01:31:05,220 --> 01:31:07,750
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}Fuck's sake. That rat bastard.</font>
939
01:31:07,750 --> 01:31:09,790
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}Can't anything be done about this?</font>
940
01:31:09,790 --> 01:31:12,320
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}Wow, it's all chipped away.</font>
941
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:16,540
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}There seems to be no end to the assholes chipping away at it for lucky charms.</font>
942
01:31:16,540 --> 01:31:18,910
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}God. It won't help them at all.</font>
943
01:31:18,910 --> 01:31:22,570
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}You're not going to win if you carry one of these.</font>
944
01:31:22,570 --> 01:31:25,220
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}And who's trying to cool off a grave?</font>
945
01:31:26,470 --> 01:31:30,470
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}He always was cool headed.</font>
946
01:31:33,890 --> 01:31:39,580
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}But they must be happy, each and every one of them.</font>
947
01:31:39,580 --> 01:31:43,740
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}I didn't know...</font>
948
01:31:43,740 --> 01:31:47,240
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}that after he died, he'd be so beloved.</font>
949
01:31:51,860 --> 01:31:55,120
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}Everyone has a fragment of Akagi.</font>
950
01:31:55,490 --> 01:31:58,500
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}It's like gambling alongside Akagi...</font>
951
01:31:58,500 --> 01:32:01,180
<font face="Joan" size="64">{\an8}like he's still alive...</font>
952
