Fm bleeding.

100kmlhour in a truck like this and now this accident.

Got to stop the bleeding.

I'm late.

So late and there's so much road ahead of

Yet I still cam help thinking about "that" time.

"Loved Gun"

Ki... ll...

Katsushi... kill...

Katsushi!

Even if I run...

I still can't make 20km an hour.

This won't do me any good.

Can anybody hear me?!

How did I end up here?

It's easy to say you're going to leave school...

but this is a major life decision!

Even so, I don't have any guardians.

Who is going to pay for my school fees?

There are plenty of students on scholarships.

If you need one, you could get one. Your grades are good enough.

Hey Sensei, do you have anymore grapes?

I do, why?

My mother likes grapes, so...

can I take some back for her?

It's fine,

take as many as you like.

Recently... well...

I've been feeling like now isn't the time to study.

But you still haven't figured out how you really feel about all of this.

Don't push yourself, ok?

Why don't you take a break from school...

and think about it some more before you make a decision.

Thank you.

Sensei, I don't have that kind of time now.

I have to be totally independent.

I have to pay for my own living expenses...

and I can't keep spending the inheritance from my parents...

...although it wasn't very much at all.

I've only got one right? I can't waste it all right now.

I have to work.

Sensei, whatever you say, women have to earn money too.

What?

Thanks for the grapes!

Tastes like ants!

How fast can this go?

60 kilometers.

Ahh, whatever.

Can you lend 'mo me?

Don't touch my "Bobby".

"Bobby"?

I like it.

Please lend it to me.

Let go.

If you lend it to me, I'll let go.

I said, LET Go!

Lend it to me, I beg of you.

Is that thing real?

His name is “Akira”.

I'm a hiinnan.

Lend me “Bobby”.

No.

If you won't lend Mom, he shoot.

I won't.

Fine. HI shoot then.

Go ahead.

Shoot my heart.

Rm stopping-

I'm going 0 km/hour.

What's wrong?

Heel like having a grape.

What?

I want to eat grapes.

Wait here.

Thanks.

Maruyama-san, you look like you're doing pretty well.

I came today...

to bring you some work.

Is it about Katsushi?

For the survival of the Kadowaki gang, Hayamada must be killed.

You're saying you want me to kill him?

We humbly request it.

I don't need an old alcoholic like him.

Who is this guy?

He's "Taneda".

We want you to two to do Hayamada together.

You want me to join up with HIM?

Won't you take him along with you?

What a rude guy.

Your hand, please.

You fuck with me, I'll kill you!

You fuck with ME, I'll kill you.

Hey... wait a sec...

he's got a gun.

It's no fair, I want a gun too!

Let's go!

A bullet's color depends on the emotions of the person who fired it.

A dark metal color for people who have no emotions.

Blue for people who are sad.

Black for people who are caught up in hate.

And then...

there's frightened yellow.

It's the color of piss.

You can't win against Katsushi if you're frightened by a mere sneeze.

God damn it!

Don't you know how to treat a gun?

So how is it going? Have you calmed down a little?

Not at all.

Ahh it didn't seem that way.

Did you check the DNA of my mother and father?

No, not yet.

Well then maybe it wasn't them.

I understand that you don't want to believe this...

but there's no chance of that.

I'm 100% sure it was your parents.

Why? How do you know?

Want some coffee? I'll treat you.

We used their dental records to check.

There were some of your parents teeth left.

Tooth is bone, so it can survive a fire.

Here you go.

Thank you.

After this what will you do?

Who knows.

What about school?

I think I might drop out.

Was it Yokohama where your relatives lived?

Yes.

How about transferring to a school around there?

Nothing but questions from you, huh?

I'm worried about you.

Here you go.

A bullet from "Akira" flies at 400 meters per second.

Faster than a voice but slower than light.

So you can't catch up to it.

What do I do...

now that I've ran away.

Who do I kill?

You guys have got it easy.

You only have to make eggs.

Hey...

just WHO do you think I should hate?

We're not at home right now.

Please leave your name and number...

after the tone.

Umm... this is Nishizono.

Sorry to bother you.

1 know that ifs probably impossible...

but! Would like to meet with you once.

Please.

How many people have you killed up to now?

'Wham

How many people have you killed?

Two men!

How did you kill them?

Stab stab! Stab stab!

I shanked 'em.

That's not very professional.

Huh?

Only an amateur would use a knife.

Why don't you go to a fish store...

and see how a knife is really supposed to be used.

Shut the fuck up.

It's none of your business.

It's because you have so much fear and hate...

that so much adrenaline comes out from your glands.

That's why you choose to kill people in such an unbecoming manner.

If you open fire feeling like that...

the bullet will definitely be a mix of yellow and black.

That's the color of shit.

I said, shut the fuck up!

That wasn't work... it was private!

Is that bad? Have I done something to offend you?

As long as I'm paid, I'll kill anyone.

Do it.

Go ahead and try!

Ouch!

Hit the breaks.

Blue, black, yellow.

Even a primary school student...

can connect the emotions to the colors.

When you're a hit man...

it doesn't matter when or who you're shooting...

it's always these same three types.

I don't know if I believe that.

If you hate the enemy, you should kill him hatefully, right?

Katsushi, that's too amateur.

No, no, no, this has nothing to do with pros or amateurs.

Uncle, did you know that there's a red bullet?

1 wonder what kind of feelings you have to have...

to shoot one like that.

I guess Katsushi is an exception.

You and Hayamada... I'll kill you both!

Alright you're good to go.

Can I take "him" along? It's a keepsake from my father.

Take the bullets out and give it to him.

Without this... I can't even walk straight.

Kaisushis father was my younger brother.

After he became an orphan, {took him in.

Because of the shock from his parents dying, he developed a kind of disorder...

with very unusual symptoms.

He began to eat everything and anything around him.

Prayer heads, candles, and incense.

He even swallowed bullets... four of 'em.

What': even more strange though...

is that the things he swallowed wouldn't show up on X-Rays.

And then, when he was 14...

he killed a person for the first time.

With his father's gun in hand, he killed three punks from the Kadowaki gang.

The bullets were all black from hate.

He's a real hit man genius.

You're an alcoholic.

The first person I killed...

was a teacher I had.

The second was my mother's man...

a violent drunkard.

So the stray dog was being beaten?

Damn you insulting me like this...

that fuckin pisses me off!

Those bullets that stink of urine can't kill me.

I'll be the one to kill Hayamada.

Miyuki-chan!

You've been a little strange since noon.

Can you give me your hand?

Go home.

It's ok.

Everything will be fine.

Let go!

I'm sorry.

Miyuki-chan, you're sick.

Sick from love.

So I'll give you some loving.

Miyuki-chan, it's no good!

I've waited for so long.

I'll cure you.

I will cure you.

Everything's fine.

It's going well.

My love has started to spread through you.

Who the hell are you?

Did you take my "Akira"?

Don't interrupt my treatment!

Thanks.

Return it to me.

"After killing his wife, the husband committed suicide in his car."

You Pig!

It's empty-

About two days ago it was...

a small truck was stolen around here.

And well, the thief looked a lot like Hayamada.

And?

And what?

Where did he go?

Where indeed.

You bastard.

I'll kill you.

What now, bro?

What's wrong, Taneda?

Ah! Maruyama-san!

You lived?

The liquor is all gone from my flask.

You're still nothing compared to Katsushi, but at least the piss color is gone.

So, have you found out where Katsushi is?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Wow, you still don't know?

Ahh that's right, why don't you ask this guy.

Call him "Rat".

This guy right here.

Maruyama-san?

You're fucking with me.

Yeah. People who I fuck with...

quickly change their tune.

We have to teach him a lesson, right?

I'll tell you!

A-a-about th-three hund-dred km north of here...

...Hayamada's s-stolen t-t-truck is crashed by the road.

Oh so you were there, "Rat"?

Sorry!

You don't have to apologize.

Just tell me one more time.

This morning...

300 km north of here, it seems that Hayamada's stolen truck was crashed.

I see.

Hey!

You're just gonna leave?

Do you want me to do something for you?

Ahh "Rat" I have one more thing I want to ask.

Do you know anything about a "red bullet"?

Just rumors.

What kind of feelings would make it that color?

I don't know that much.

I see.

I wonder... could you look at my bullet for me?

Hey hey - w-wait!

Maybe it will be red.

It's black!

Father, I'll become a donor too.

Father, I'll become a donor too.

Father, I'll become a donor too.

Father, I'll become a donor too.

Father, I'll become a donor too.

Father, I'll become a donor too.

Are you really a hit man?

Yeah.

If I made a request of you...

would you do it?

Nope.

You still haven't paid me back for those grapes.

Grapes?

What are you talking about?

I gave you grapes today at noon, right?

I don't remember that.

You were crying.

You were crying while you slept.

Who do you want me to kill?

If I kill that person...

it will be as payback for the grapes.

Who is it?

My father...

had a lover.

My father...

kept it secret all along...

but this year...

my mother found out.

So...

because of that...

he fought with my mother.

Father...

killed my mother.

Father...

put mother's body in the trunk of his car...

and drove out to the forest.

Then...

he set fire to the car...

and comitted suicide.

Father is the one at fault.

I understand that.

But...

please kill my father's lover.

Doing all that unnecessary stuff.

No one came to help me because I didn't ask for it, ok?

That was really a beautiful pose he had you in, huh?

Here are the dishes you ordered, enjoy.

Put some on the grill.

Hey, I thought you didn't do jobs for free.

You bastard.

My drink's not good enough for ya?

I'll kill you!

Ahh! It's hot!

Wipe it off.

Two years ago, me and Katsushi were tricked by "Rat".

We were attacked by seven people...

and managed to kill of! Five of them but we were being shot at by the last two.

Damn these bastards.

Katsushi, I've run out of bullets.

I already ran out a long time ago.

What are we gonna do?

What are you doing?

Give me that one too.

Hit my stomach.

What is that?

A bullet I swallowed when I was a kid.

I've still got three left...

but one should be enough for them.

Jeez... this is like straight out of a comic book.

Hey wait a second.

I've never heard of anything like that.

There's a lot of stuff you've never heard of before.

What the hell are you saying?

You'd need superpowers for something like that.

Hah, superpowers.

Don't mess with me, bastard!

What a bullshit story.

The flowers are nice, huh?

If you're reborn, be a flower.

Yes, Katsushi, you should do that.

Doesn't sound too bad.

SQ?

What is it today?

I came to ask you something, Kadowaki-san.

Alright, I'll listen.

I'll be frank.

Was it you who killed my parents?

Haven't we talked enough about this?

It's rude and disrespectful to ask me that.

Please forgive me.

It's ok.

If you really do want to know...

I'll tell you.

Kadowaki-san...

the scent of a revolver is quite strong.

I only killed your mother.

I didn't do your father.

Is that so?

Thank you very much.

You bastard.

Can you really kill Hayamada if your hands are shaking like that?

Don't worry about it.

Hey, mister.

I don't want this beer anymore.

Sir, you already drank some.

Shut up and take it away!

I can't do that. Take it away, you dumb-ass.

Hey, what're you gonna do after this job is done?

Maybe I'll become a hit man?

It's not as easy as you think.

You just kill people, right?

That's the diff cult pan.

Earlier when you shot "Rat" your bullet was black, right?

If my feelings aren't strong, I can't hope to win against Katsushi.

Hey!

What the fuck are you doing?

You really are a dirty bastard.

Hey!

Are you alright?

He)' are you ok?

Water, give me water! Water? Did you say water?

Wait a second!

I can hack again.

3:00pm

Umm... this is Nishizono.

Sorry to bother you.

I know that it's probably impossible...

but! Would like to meet with you once.

Please.

H! Ca“ hack again.

3:25pm

Umm... this is Nishizono.

Sorry to bother you.

I know that it's probably impossible...

but! Would like to meet with you once.

Please.

H! Ca“ hack again.

3:56pm, Thursday

Hello, this is Nishizono.

Hello?

This is (Miyuki) Komoro.

Company President Komoro's daughter.

Thank you.

So sorry to bother you.

We can meet.

Let's meet... today.

I bought you one.

What did Hayamada come all the way out here to do?

Are you Komoro-san?

That child, how old is he?

Three years old.

His name is "Toru".

You had been with father for quite a long time, huh?

I'm sorry.

Did father approach you first?

Mama!

Let's go!

Wait a little bit more, ok?

I'll look after Toru for a bit.

What?

Tom, come here.

Where are you off to?

He's a relative.

He's worried because I'm all alone now.

I'm very sorry.

So what is it that you want?

Well...

because of me...

...your family became like this.

I thought for a long time on how I could make up for this.

I can only give you this.

This.

Please, I beg of you, take it.

Don't mess with me.

What?

Don't MESS with me!

What the hell can you do?

Whose fault is it that my family died?

If you weren't here...

my parents wouldn't have died!

YOU die!

You're the one who should die!

Don't tease mommy!

You running away?

See it through to the end!

Can you give me one too?

It was blue.

A sad bullet that didn't kill anyone.

I'm... so sick of all of this.

I wonder what color H! be shot with.

I...

want to disappear.

I wish the people who hate me would kill me already.

Inna

want to go to the place where my parents died.

Watching you eat makes me disgusted.

Don't.

The one who killed Katsushi's father...

was me.

[Hex] Mam-saw.

Hey, Akira.

Uncle!

Yo, Katsushi.

You've become quite heavy.

Long time no see, Seiko.

Maruyama-san, you look young as usual.

Ahh I like to eat ears.

Akira, could you give me Katsushi to eat?

Please, go right ahead!

Seiko-san...

why don't you take Katsushi and go on ahead.

Alright.

Maru-san...

why don't we go for a drink?

Katsushi, shall we go home?

That sounds good.

Why don't you call a taxi?

Bye bye!

Alright then Maruyama-san.

Be careful, alright?

See you later, Akira.

I wanna eat fish!

Alright, let's have some!

But don't you really want to sleep instead?

Where shall we go?

A place where no one else is.

Akira is dead.

Kadowaki, do it!

Does Hayamada know?

Probably, I guess.

He ran away without hating me.

I don't feel like killing Hayamada.

That's fine.

But...

if I die...

who can shoot him?

I'm the only one who can take him out.

Have some meat, meat!

See, it's coming closer!

Eat eat!

"Entrance is Forbidden"

Don't

You'll die too, Hayamada-san.

Don't go there.

We've already done enough.

It's not like my parents will be there anyway.

Inna

about my parents...

I had been thinking that I'd never forget.

At that time, I felt like...

my anger, and sadness...

and hate...

would never be forgotten until the day I die.

But...

it's alright for me to forget, right?

Forcing myself to remember like that...

is only causing me more pain.

Hayamada...

you said you wanted to be killed by those who hate you, right?

Yeah.

Well I'm different.

SQ?

If you were going to be killed by someone...

what kind of person would you want it to be?

Inna

thought that my mother was happy.

I mean...

my parents were so close.

My mother really loved my father.

Mother was killed by someone who she loved.

So...

I don't think that's too bad.

If I'm gonna be killed by someone...

being killed by someone I like would be the best.

Inna

want to be killed by someone I like.

What's wrong?

Hayamada-san.

Hey... what do you think?

Do you want to be killed by someone you like?

I wonder...

if it was good that my father was killed by my uncle.

Maruyama-san is gonna decide tomorrow, ok?

Huh?

Hey, wait a sec!

Maruyama-san's physical condition is the most important thing here.

OK then...

maybe tomorrow it will get better.

I won't forget.

I will NOT forget.

I'll get in touch later.

Are you sure you're 0k, acting like that?

Don't worry about it.

Ahh, it's mine.

0h, uncle?

It's Katsushi.

You doin' alright?

I see.

So, umm, why don't we meet tomorrow?

Yeah.

Tomorrow morning.

Yeah.

Where?

I don't know it...

but it's alright.

I'll check the map before I go.

Yes?

Yeah you too.

Yeah.

Later then.

Was that Hayamada?

Yep.

We'll meet tomorrow morning.

Why don't we rest now.

You ok?

Hey! Are you ok?

Hey!

Again?

No way.

I'm fine.

Let's go.

You are NOT ok!

My bad.

Tomorrow, you'll be the witness.

Understood.

Also, you have to survive this...

that's orders from the top!

My body is worn out.

I wouldn't even care if you shoot me.

Hayamada-san.

Lend me "Akira".

Hayamada-san...

what did you come out here to do?

Did you come to kill someone?

No.

So...

Did you come to be killed by someone?

When I...

first met you here...

I really felt like it didn't matter...

whether you killed me or not.

Will you give me "Akira" back?

Won't you hold my hand?

We'll meet again, right?

Come see Bobby, ok?

That sounds good.

I'll come see you again.

Thank you.

It doesn't matter if you're a hit man...

be with the person you love.

Uncle, how about laying off the sake, huh?

That's like when you told me you were going to quit being a hit man.

I never said that.

Dumbass.

Year after year goes by and you're still not grown up, but I'm going on strong!

Haha no way, look at this leg!

It's not the outside...

but the inside that counts! Heavy!

H-hey!

What are you doing? My leg's been shot!

Haha what the hell are you doing?

Well then, I wonder when I'll be grown up.

The day you come of age is the day I feel like dying.

Jeez!

Well I guess I'll never grow up then.

Katsushi...

I'll be waiting for that day!

You're too heavy!

Katsushi...

I wonder if I've ever told you this story...

about your revolver.

What about it?

That revolver, I used it in the past.

Then I gave it to your father as a present...

when he came of age.

Yeah?

I wonder when it was that my father came of age.

I think it was when he was just this guy's age.

He's arm'-!

What's so funny, huh?!

Ouch!

Uncle...

finally, huh?

You gonna retire, right, uncle?

You ok?

I think you know this already but...

I was the one who killed your father.

I won't make excuses...

and I won't try to apologize.

The bullet I reluctantly shot him with was blue.

Since then... I've become an alcoholic.

If I don't drink any, I can't control my feelings...

but I've stopped drinking now.

There's no help for it.

We're hit man.

Uncle...

don't you think this shell of a car resembles us?

It has no future.

Only a worthless past.

I wonder if it's punishment for burning the surrounding plants...

is not being allowed to rot away...

remaining here forever.

You don't think we resemble it?

Not at all.

Hayamada!

I told you what to do, right?

Katsushi.

Taneda will be the witness today.

I see.

That's good.

This is my last shot.

Uncle...

if you were reborn, what would you want to be?

I've never thought about that before.

I... I want to be a grape vine.

And...

grow lots of big, sweet grapes.

I would want to be that grape vine.

Uncle's bullets really are warm, huh.

Just as I thought...

you're the only one who I would want to kill me.

Katsushi.

Maruyama-san.

Maruyama-san!

Maruyama-san!

Taneda... I beg of you.

I can't do it.

You're going to let him die first?

Do it!

Uncle.

Taneda-san.

Please...

do something for me.

My "Akira".

Won't you take it?

Huh?

You...

have the potential like my uncle...

to shoot...

the red bullets.

Hayamada-san.

Sorry for being so abrupt...

but could you lend me this bike?

If I say no, then what?

This gun... it's name is "Akira" right?

No.

"Akira" was it's old name.

It's name is now "Maruyama Katsushi".

The names of two hit man I respect.

You're also a hit man.

Yes, I'm a hit man.

Taneda! Bastard!

What the fuck are you doing!

I'm borrowing it.

Take this.

Taneda, you bastard!

Hold on tight!
