The Last Frankenstein

People of today will live longer than any other generation than before

But they will find more to be unhappy about - Akira Aleo

Whilst the ideas are still fresh

Whilst they are still haunting my tormented soul I want to take courage

and transcribe them.

I swear, everything is true.

Even now, after living through the worst of it, I'm afraid

And maybe none of us will ever be the same again

That is precisely the reason I must remember every detail

If something can't be proven through research

Then it's not worth knowing

As a science professor, I believed that. Perhaps that ...

explains why I was ambivalent to the early warnings. The suicides.

Religion of Death

Death Religion.

A. God of Death

Death...Death...Death... Death...Death...Death...

The greatest thing you can do is die

We are all born for that purpose.

Everyone of us lives to die.

This simple message is the foundation of the Shinyo-Kiyo.

To fulfill our destiny we must praise God and kill ourselves.

Don't give away your right to death.

Don't allow someone else to perform your gift to your soul.

Embrace your death as you have embraced your life.

Shino-kiyo is our destiny... Is the end near?

Yes. It's true. We are members of the last generation...

We are the last people.

Last people?

All praise the God of Death... the God of self-exterminaion.

All praise life through eternal death. Shiyo-kiyo.

Death...Death..Death...

Behind me is another religious rally from a Suicide cult.

Shino-kiyo is being called the "New Theology"

It's popularity is born from the current epidemic of suicides.

Reverand Ipei Tokuda teaches the philosophy of "rightful suicide"

Meanwhile the suicide rate in Tokyo has tripled in the last 6 months.

Let's see what some of the spectators have to say.

Excuse me...could we talk with you for a minute?

What do you think about suicides?

It seems popular, but I don't want to try it.

Sir! Pardon me...

Do you have an opinion about the current rash of suicides?

I'm in a hurry...

Very quickly, sir. How do you feel about suicide?

What?

How do you feel about suicide? What do you think?

It doesn't seem to be the act of a rational people, does it?

What do you think about the current rash of suicides?

I don't think it is a good thing.

I mean, when somebody kills themself, somebody else is sad.

Excuse me...we'd like to talk to you a minute.

I want to get your opinion on the suicide hysteria.

I don't want to be on TV.

We just want your opinion. What do you think about suicide?

I think people should do what they want.

Even kill themselves?

Mmmm. I don't know ask someone else.

He's so beautiful.

So independent.

That's why it's beautiful.

He looks so peaceful.

Your death is the most personal thing you will ever do

It should be a selfish, but satisfying act.

From the moment we're born we begin to die.

Planned suicide is the essence of life.

B. Human Body

The human body is considered both strange and mysterious

Perhaps, it is the most mysterious thing in the world.

I'm referring specifically to "how" and "why" of humanity.

However many conclusions are supplied by today's scientists.

In fact, we can practically say, we know most everything about the human body.

Excuse me professer, but I still think the body is mysterious.

And...why do you think that?

Even though we may understand much about the human body...

We still don't understand everything about human beings.

We are not concerned with behavioral philosophies.

I believe there is a direct correlation between...

...behavorial science and physical science.

The human body is in constant evolutionary flux.

So you believe humans are still evolving?

I'm referring more to change then evolution.

I think our style of living dictates to the human body

I think we are influenced by enviroment and social fads.

Do you have an opinion on this, professor?

First the topic is to broad...

Do you think the structure of the body "changes" based on fad?

Yes, I do believe it...

I think cultural pressures can shape and change the human body.

Professer, in the popular view of evolution which came first?

Change or the reason for change?

Here...this is a human body... This is our concern.

You are too involved in intellectual jargon.

You need to be more concerned about the lower body.

Don't misunderstand. I'm not suggesting that you have sex with me.

So you are real...

You were....

making fun of me.

No I wasn't.

Then why didn't you answer my question seriously?

You were talking about the evolution change question?

Even though we know a lot about the human body...

The suicide rate is going sky high.

The scientists are doing nothing about it

Truthfully, I don't understand the situation either.

We should leave soon.

Can we go some place and spend the night together?

I'm sorry. I can't.

You always say no.

My daughter is waiting.

You mean your wife? Not daughter.

My daughter.

Your not a very good liar. You mean wife and daughter.

My wife commited suicide 5 years ago.

Death! Death! Suicide is God!!!

C. Mai

Welcome home, Father.

Stop. Don't waste your power on playthings.

Did you eat diner?

No.

I made some rice curry.

I'll have some.

Mai. I told you to stop.

Goodnight.

Father...

What?

Do you love me?

I love you.

I'm calling you.

D. Dead Body

What happened?

The research cadaver was stolen.

Stolen?

This is the fifth time since, the school year started.

What kind of fruitcake would do it?

Ah...

Here is Sarusawa. -He's young but bright.-

Hello.

You're late.

I'm sorry.

We already started the meeting.

Please...

...continue.

This conversation is meaningless...

Why are we even talking about suicide? Why do we care?

It's...

...officially considered a disease now.

That's ridiculous! Suicide isn't an infectious disease.

I...disagree...with...that...opinion.

illness...is...a...misunderstood...concept.

That's insignificant.

But...

it's difficult to understand the sudden interest.

We are not Theologists.

Maybe we should ask Ipei Tokuda for help?

That's not funny.

While talking so carelessly,...

people are killing themselves.

Someone from this university may die soon.

I wonder if it's really a communicable disease?

Our job is precisely to find the answer to that.

It's definately a disease... a transmitted illness.

Often, when someone dies, others in the family commit suicide too.

So you think this a new killer disease?

That is just bullshit!

It's definately a transmitted disease.

But..

is it really caused by mental disorders?

No...

This disease attacks and disables...

...a section of the brain.

Disables the brain?!

Have you conducted research?

We are doing it now.

But it appears to be a disease.

This is a scientific problem.

From our research...

we discovered an incubation period of 3 to 5 years.

Three to five years?

Yes.

This means a carrier could infect thousands of people.

We could all be at risk.

It's probable I may already be infected by this disease.

Don't bring personal problems to this meeting.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure about this "brain infection"?

Yes.

Can you give us more details?

I need more research before I care to do that.

You're...avoiding...the...question.

No...

We have a special scientist conducting this research.

Who is that?

Professor Aleo.

You said Aleo?

Is...he..still...alive...?

Who is he?

You don't know him?

You don't need to know him!

Professor Frankenstein.

Profesor Oyamu, you're saying....

only Aleo can solve this problem?

Well...

I'm saying he's already done much research.

Seems like we're back at the beginning again!

Aleo is a freak! What can he offer us!?

I support you.

What are you men doing?!

Even if he's alive, it's the same as if he were dead.

Motoyama...The human race..

will be destroyed if the suicides continue.

What do you know about Professor Aleo?

Don't ask.

The more you know.

The less you'll want to know.

Tell me anyway.

Aleo is a true genius.

Because of his brillant mind

He became involved in unconventional research and he was booted

out of the scientific community. No one mentions his name or his research.

What kind of research?

Evolution.

Evolution of...?

He was trying to create an advanced human being.

He believed he could create a human...

unmotivated by emotions.

Maybe, somehow, he knew of the pending suicide threat.

Regardless, he gave up on humans...

...long ago...long before I did.

Humans are very weak and influenced by any quack...

They embrace any new fad and make it part of their life.

Everybody is holding their life on a slender thread.

Suicide is actually becoming garishly attractive.

Can I borrow this book?

I'll give it to you but... It's OK take it.

Listen, Sarusawa. If you're planning to work with Aleo. It won't be easy. Be careful.

I don't mind. I believe I'm already infected by the virus.

Why do you think that? What are the symptoms?

Do you know? I don't think you're going to die.

Why?

Just my intuition.

Goodbye.

Professor...

Goodbye: I'm sorry.

Goodbye. I'm sorry.

Phylogeny of the Human By Akira Aleo

Today society is suffering from a mysterious illness.

This is a period of transmitted disease similar to the Balck Plague.

Soon, the grey spector of death will visit even the shadowland.

Humans will destroy themselves and a new species will arise.

We...

must deny human emotions and frail sensitivities.

We need a new strength which will seperate us from humanity.

E. Goodbye and Hello

Goodbye and sorry.

F. Psychic Link

That is a human. Look at the changes made through nuclear power.

I know you're aware...

of what I'm talking about.

But we as a society, are unaware of the dangers involved.

Sometimes I daydream about the problems

Anyway, lets return to the book. Attitudes of men and women are merging...

Both sexes are beginning to look and act the same.

They are merging into the same type of creature...

I knew death before I was born.

Death is always comfortable and honest.

It's not the place you might think it is.

I've seen it!

Death is like an Oasis.

Yes you heard me. Like an Oasis.

Before I die I know what death is.

Mai...

She's been like this for three hours.

Mai girl...

Mai.

When did your wife commit suicide?

Five years ago.

Did your daughter develop her psychosis after her mothers death?

Yes.

This time its more serious.

what do you mean doctor?

She has lost her ability to communicate.

What do you mean?

Her brain is working but she has forgotten how to use it.

I don't understand much about teenagers...anymore.

Did you hear about the group suicide today?

Huh?

Oh you didn't hear?

High school kids commited suicide at Yoyogi Park.

High school kids killing themselves?

Do you think it has to do with the rash of suicides?

We're trying to figure it out. I don't understand anymore.

Let me ask you on a professional level

Do you believe in psychic powers? Do you? Tell me.

For me, I have no choice. Mai's been using psychic power for along time now.

Mai.

G. Beyond Human Species

Stop Haruo!

You must learn to be polite.

Are you Aleo?

I've been waiting for you Professor Sarusawa.

I have been waiting for you... a very long time.

And I knew you'd come here someday...

But why?

Theres no hurry. All in due time...

Haruo! Bring us tea.

Real. You're human.

Who are you? -What?-

Who are you?

No. Who are you?

She's my wife. Her name is Kurara. Come down here.

Go.

Eat.

This isn't good. It's to salty.

By the way...

...how is it?

What?

I'm talking about the world.

Is it still boring?

No. Too many things are happening now.

That's good news.

A power plant exploded. a serious war in the Middle East.

And the suicide disease is spreading.

Humans are approaching the end.

That sounds interesting.

Do you think it's funny?

Why do you want to be a hero?

I hate humans.

To tell the truth I came to ask you for help.

I thought you could save us from the suicide disease.

Mmmm. This meat is pretty good.

I don't like meat. -Eat it.-

I don't like meat. I want rice soup.

You're being infantile! You have no manners. Your parents should have beat you.

You're wife is a funny woman.

Her body is too weak. She's useless.

Mmm. Like you said this meat is good.

This is the first time I've eaten such meat.

Is that right?...

It's human meat. The skin of Japanese men who eat good meat.

I was making a joke.

Doctor Aleo...

I must ask the question. Exactly what is the suicide disease?

I'm not intrested in the suicide disease anymore.

Then why are you here in the mountains with the dead bodies?

I like dead bodies more then living ones.

You are just like a dead person.

True.

Maybe I am already dead.

I guess I was expecting too much of you.

I see you thought I was a socially conscious scientist?

That lifestyle is nonsense...

Have humans ever really been helped by science?

Do you really believe scientists give a damn about people?

I'm not that presumptuous.

That's good.

I'm not presumptuous.

But I am disappointed in you.

I'm leaving.

I knew about the suicide disease ten years ago.

Come.

Sarusawa,...

let's stop the facade of hlping humans.

The human race has already done everything it's wanted to do.

So anything we accomplish now... is meaningless in scope.

As long as humans exist, the spiral will continue downwards.

But I'm really tired of the depressing descent.

That's why I decided to develop an advanced human.

My superman is someone who can stop the spiral.

And this is the time I've been waiting for.

It's time for the advent...

of the new human species.

Do you believe in evolution?

Evolution? I don't know about that.

Evolution, by defination, is the improving of a species.

I'm not sure the human race has the innate intelligence for it.

Why do humans hate so much?

Because humans never tried to accept me or my ideas.

You're a sad person.

Don't evaluate me...

Evaluation is the lowest trait of the human race.

Look at this! This is the beginning of a new race. A superman...

And the superhuman's bride.

It's the cadaver from my class.

Your cadaver? You say such conventional things...

She's neither human nor dead. She's my superman's bride.

Bride? -Yes.-

I'm going to put life into these bodies. I will suceed!

Through my creation, the perfect superman will be born,

...a son from these two.

A son?

These two will rival the reputation of Adam and Eve.

Their sexual encounters will be legendary.

You can watch the momentous performance.

But how will you put life into these freaks?

Freaks? That's not a nice term.

Don't tell me you're going to open the roof and...

the wind will roar and the lightening will strike.

You read too many novels. I'm not Frankenstein.

No. You are Dr.Frankenstein.

Don't joke about this. We can put life into...

the supermen. I've completed the surgery and wait on a special power.

What do you mean by that?

I'm talking about psychic power.

Everything is prepared for rejuvination thru psychic power.

That's why I was researching people who possessed this power.

The people who could help me create my superman.

Oh, I see!

It's Mai! You wanted Mai!

According to my research...

...no one has stronger powers then Mai.

You didn't want me, you wanted Mai. -No.-

I didn't say that.

I'm glad you're her father.

You understand what I hope to do. ....I won't need to use violence.

Violence?

Don't think about touching one hair on Mai's head.

Like I said, if we have an understanding there will be no trouble.

This is terrible! I came here to ask you to help save Mai.

Finally, you tell the truth...

I knew you didn't care about the disease or the human race.

You're just a concerned father.

I don't understand what is wrong with her. She seems fine.

I want her to become a normal high school girl.

A normal high school kid, like the ones commiting suicide?

Think about what you are saying!

I'm going home.

Sarusawa!

You can't leave you know my secret.

Sorry.

It's changed alot...

Definately, this world should be destroyed.

Let's go Haruo.

Listen Mai,...

I'm going to show two people to you. They are parteners.

Do you understand?

They are your friends. They will make a new world with you.

That's why I want you to help revive them.

She won't do this!

Sarusawa! If you are a true scientist, Observe quietly.

Shut up!

I don't want any part of you! Let's go, Mai.

Mai!

Seems like she wants to do this with me...

Mai, let's go.

Active the neutron cells.

Raise your hands.

Walk! Walk forward!

Turn.

This is your man. This is your woman.

You two are attractive. Kiss him. Kiss him...

Kiss him.

Kiss him.

Kiss him again.

Have sex.

Put your penis in her vagina.

Kiss! Sex!

Sex!

It's impossible.

He doesn't understand love.

That's not true...

He doesn't understand sex.

We must teach him.

Teaching love?

Not love.

Just sex.

Let's go Mai.

She doesn't want to go with you.

Why don't you relax.

This will interest you too.

H. Teaching

Kiss her.

Kiss her.

Kiss him.

Not me! Stupid!

It's impossible. You're not teaching them the right way.

You must teach the feeling behind the act.

Don't tell me you're talking about love? That's pedestrian.

If they possess that kind of emotion they'll be just like humans.

But without it they won't have a child.

Let's tell them something about love.

Love lesson?

Love lesson.

Help them sit.

A father asked: what does that teacher do?

Nothing. That was my answer.

I thought I told my mother and father...

a long time ago that my teacher was doing nothing.

My father should have remembered it clearly.

But he said: What does he do?

You respect him so much.

And then he stopped asking the question.

My father thinks...

if a person is useful or successful then he should be...

...out in the working world.

According to my father,...

...only a Yakuza or a bum does no work.

I'm going to tell you the truth.

Kurara isn't really my wife.

I created her. She was the first of my experiments.

But I hate Kurara.

She is a grave disappointment.

She was the greatest disaster in my life.

I feel this way because she is sterile.

I forgot to activate her womb.

She is a woman who can't be a woman.

Horrible. Awful. Horrible.

I hope he hasn't damaged anything.

Mai.

She seems to be feeling better. Communicating again.

Mai...Are you...?

It's not working.

Nothing is happening.

Thank you...

My thanks to humans who still care.

The time has come for the destruction of the world.

You are worried and concerned about your fate...

I know how you feel.

I used to be human too.

I lived in isolation for almost 100 years.

Do you understand? 100 years...

and during those 100 years, humans refused to change.

That's a grave mistake. Perhaps it's the humans greatest fault.

People are controlled by emotions...

Happiness, sadness, anger, lust ...they mold human behaviour.

Humans are preoccupied with things that don't exist...

They are influenced by dreams and illusion.

Humans don't realize how vulnerable they are.

They're too stupid to even understand that they are stupid.

These are the reasons human beings...

....should be destroyed.

My new race of supermen is the hope for the future...

The only hope.

Allow me to present...

the humans of tomorrow, void of emotions.

My superman!

You are a unique type of genius.

Unique?...

I think I understand myself very well.

I don't care to be judged by society's standards.

Did I show you my collection?

No.

These are my best friends.

My collection of abnormal fetuses.

This fetus commited suicide...

She tied a knot in her...

...imbecile cord.

I rejoice in her decision...

I'm comfortable knowing she...

will never move her little arms.

When I was thinking about going, I made a decision.

I decided to wait until the next day...

I made that decision on Saturday evening.

But then...

...that night...

Kei commited suicide. And suddenly, I no...

...longer had any reason to go.

Whenever I think of about that night, I always feel melancholoy.

Kiss.

Kiss.

We were an unconventional spectacle.

But to us, it seemed very normal.

Mai understood Haruo's grunts.

And her illness seemed to pass.

But only when she communicated with the monsters and Haruo.

Suddenly I found myself holding Kei's body in my arms.

I wanted to see his face.

When I pickd up his head and tried to look

I was in an awkward position and I couldn't see clearly.

I dropped him to the ground...

It wasn't because I was afraid...

...but, because he was heavy,...

I didn't feel like crying...

More correctly,...

I felt afraid.

I wasn't afraid of Kei's dead body.

I was afraid because suddenly I understood the delicacy of life.

Death...Death...Death...

Goodbye.

I'm sorry.

We both believe in the same God.

Tokuda!

I no longer pray.

Tokuda! He's dead!

Let's begin the ceremony.

I. Apocalypse

Kiss.

Kiss him.

Kiss him.

Kiss him.

And have sex!

For all the people, for our world, for peace...SEX!

SEX!!

The game of love is over!

What do you want?

What?

You asshole!

You limpdick...

J. Catastrophe

I decided to stay in the house with...

Haruo, the monster and Mai.

It would be correct to say Dr.Aleo was destroyed.

...long before he began his studies.

The doctor hated humans, but he died because of human emotions.

The superman began acting more and more like a human.

In fact he studied all he could about human behaviour.

As the superman learned about human behaviour.

He developed pride and emotions similar to the humans.

Isn't...

...that the essence of evolution?

What is you name?

Name?

None.

Where are you from?

Ocean.

Why did you come?

To become...

...human.

Did you succeed?

So what are you?

Universe.

Universe?

Child of the...

Universe.

Your favorite food?

Curry...

...rice.

Favorite color?

I don't see the colors.

Who is your favorite author?

Nastume....

...Sousek.

How do you spend your time?

Thinking.

Thinking.

I--Myself.

K. Child Of The Universe

When I arrived at the beach it was to late.

The superman gave his body...

...back to the ocean.

I dedicate this chronicle...

To those people I knew who...

died from the suicide disease.

during the proceedings,

this people are,

my wife, Professor Motoyama...

Dr. Akira Aleo, Kurara,

the superman's bride,

...the superman.
