Big Brother, let me out quickly!

Wait. I'll let you out now!

Big Brother! Hurry, hurry!

It's hot!

It hurts!

Big Brother! Mom!

Please, Gen.

No!

Mom will die with you!

It's hot! It's hot!

It's hot!

Shinji! Eiko!

Dear!

Big Brother!

Dad is burning...

Eiko is burning...

Mom! Mom!

Shinji is... Mom! Mom!

Hang on!

What are you doing? Run quickly!

Gen!

The nightmare of three years ago again...

Mister, give me food!

Give me food to fill my tummy!

Hey, Ryuta, get up.

I said get up.

Big Brother, stop that!

Be quiet!

Today we're going to get a good, nutritious meal.

Did you forget?

Oh, that's right...

Big Brother. Let's go. Let's hurry up and go.

Good. Good.

There...

Good!

Hey, Ryuta, you all right?

Here they are! I found some!

Big Brother, over here too.

Thank you for this food!

Wow! It's delicious!

It's delicious!

Thank you, Mrs. Pigeon and Mrs. Sparrow. Right, Big Brother?

They’ll lay eggs again when we come back in a week.

Don't let anyone find this secret place.

I know. I don't want other people to steal them.

It's delicious.

They are gone already.

I sometimes want to eat till I can't anymore...

Is there a way to make them lay more eggs?

What are you saying? I'm happy we can eat this much.

Barefoot Gen 2 For the night I want to forget...

...the morning sings a lullaby.

Sorrow, go to sleep...

Love, wake up.

The morning expands the dim light softly.

To the corner of my heart...

it shines brightly.

Morning, you are the hometown of lives.

When I notice the new wind...

...your smile is always there.

Is there anything?

Is there anything? Is there anything?

There's nothing decent...

It's hot. Too hot.

Big Brother! Look! Look!

Darn, even the faucet makes fun of me! You junk faucet!

It's upsetting.

Big Brother.

Isn't this an old faucet? It looks out of service now.

If so...

We can sell it at a high price!

Ail right.

Run!

Hey, Ryuta. Come on!

Hurry! Hurry!

Realty. The old man at the scrap shop makes me so mad.

He took advantage of us.

I thought I could get more for them.

I'll never go back there!

I'm hungry.

It smells so delicious.

What are you doing? If you can't buy it, go away!

Cheapskate.

Big Brother, I wanna play that!

It's pachinko!

If you lose, it'll be a total loss.

But this won't buy us anything decent.

Leave it to me. I’ll buy ten candies.

Lady, give me balls.

Sure.

What? Only five balls? Sure.

One yen per ball... The price went up again.

Well, it's all right.

Are you sure? Well, it's all right.

Okay, I'll take this machine.

Oh, I just missed my mark.

All right, this time for sure!

Go in! Next time for sure!

Go in! Go in! Go in! Go in! Next time for sure!

It didn't go in...

There's only one left.

All right, this time for sure!

Wait! Wait!

I have the right to play too. Here.

Go in! Go in! Go in!

That piece of junk.

There's nothing we can do... Luck decides the outcome...

All right, I’ll get some too!

Hey, Ryuta. Don't disgrace yourself!

What are you saying? Come on, Big Brother.

Dad and Mom dead by pikadon. Hungry, hungry!

Hey, service chewing gum! Service chocolate!

Got it!

Ouch, you...

I got one!

Idiot, how can you kiss the asses of those Yankees who dropped pika.

Ryuta, how many times do I have to tell you?

Sorry, today's the last time.

Hey, don't tell ma'am.

Here.

This one too.

If you smoke cigarettes, you won't grow taller.

What is she doing?

A, i, u, e, o...

Ka, ki, ku, ke, ko...

Hey, you're wrong. The o and ki are facing the wrong way.

That's right.

You're older than me. Don't you know your letters?

Ow...

You! Why'd you hit us?

If I see you again, I'll beat you up!

That's right! We really look like fools.

Oh, it hurts.

Tokyo green onion rice, countryside white rice, munch munch.

Tokyo green onion rice, hey!

Good bath.

I agree!

Your washed underwear is there. I agree!

What? You haven't made the bed yet?

What are you saying?

Aren't you a fourth grader now? Make your own bed.

Okay.

Jump!

What are you doing? Hey!

Now does that hurt? Does that hurt?

Let's see. Before the hot water gets cold...

W-What's wrong? Mom.

I'm all right. I just felt dizzy.

Here. Here. There. Try and catch me.

Shut up, Big Brother.

A-Are you all right, Mom?

Why don't you take a day off from work?

You don't look so good.

That's right. We'll work and get money somehow...

It's ail right. You don't have to worry.

The second term starts today. You two study hard, all right?

Here, Mom.

I’ll carry you on my back. Hurry and get on.

What are you saying? You can't.

Besides, it's embarrassing for a mom to be carried by her child...

Don't be modest. Here, Mom.

Now, now, ma'am.

Hurry, hurry. Now, now, ma'am.

Ryuta...

Then just for a minute.

What's the matter, Big Brother?

Now net’s go.

How is it? See, Mom?

I'm ail right.

Gen, enough.

That's enough. Put me down.

Mom, I'll take you to work.

No.

You two have to go to school.

No choice, huh?

Thank you, Gen, Ryuta.

Now, hurry and go to school.

What's the matter, Big Brother?

Light...

Light?

Mom was too light.

She should be so heavy that I can't carry her, but...

Good morning.

Ryuta, hurry.

Yeah.

Bye, Ryuta.

Pretend to go to class...

The black market is more interesting than school.

What are you doing?

Incendiary bombs!

The war is over!

Damn!

Listen. That's why Article Two in the new constitution...

...renounces war and denies arms and the right of warfare.

Article Nine. One...

The Japanese desire international peace based on justice and order...

...and the state's right to exercise war...

Ouch. ...and the state's right to exercise war...

...and the state's right to exercise war...

...to threaten by force...

...or to resort to arms as a means of resolving international disputes...

Whoa. ...or to resort to arms as a means of resolving international disputes...

...is renounced forever.

Nakaoka!

Two. In order to carry out the preceding clause...

...we will not maintain an army, air force, or other potential for war.

The nation's right to wage war is not approved.

Professor!

What is it? Professor!

I don't understand. It's like listening to a prayer to Buddha.

That's right. Me too.

Me too.

In other words...

...Japan was burned everywhere.

Hiroshima was also scorched by pika.

Since several million people suffered and died...

...Japan will never fight again and will never hold arms.

We must uphold this constitution at all costs.

Ail right?

If it keeps raining, class'll be over. We can go home.

That's right. Rain, rain!

Dummies, this is a sun shower. It'll stop soon.

See? I told you.

Everyone, take your seats.

She's the one who hit me and ran away the other day!

The homeless children hang out at the school. It's trouble...

Hey, this is not the place for you homeless children! Go away!

You remember me, don't you? Shall I settle the matter?

Interesting. Settle the matter.

Hey! What did you come here for?

Go away!

Don't you know that school isn't for homeless children?

You idiots!

Hey, Nishiyama.

Sorry for being homeless. Sorry for hanging around school.

You! Nishiyama! Say it again! I’ll beat you up!

Nishiyama, it wasn't our choice to become homeless.

Damn you, Nishiyama. Die!

You! What are you doing to our teacher?

You won't get away with more!

You've got guts going against me...

I like you.

Shut up! Leave now!

That's right! That's right! Leave now!

I understand.

Hey, what's your name?

I'm Gen Nakaoka. Why?

Gen Nakaoka... I'll remember it...

if you're ever in trouble, come to me anytime.

I’ll give you a hand. I like brave guys like you.

At the black market, ask for Masa the Enko.

They'll know...

I hate you.

Go home.

No.

N-No. I don't want to.

What's up with them?

It's awful! It's awful! It's awful!

Mom... Mom collapsed...

I see... I didn't know she received pika...

The radioactivity of pika is a problem...

It's been three years since pika was dropped.

Even now, people are dying from unknown illnesses.

How long will it continue...

Well, give her nutritious food and have her rest in bed.

We doctors don't know what to do...

Isn't it frustrating, Big Brother?

We can't find a job no matter how hard we look.

Picking up scrap iron is all we have, after all...

What are you saying?

You're the one who said finding scrap iron wasn't enough...

...to get nutritious food.

At this rate, it won't be malnutrition.

The three of us will starve to death.

Money, money, money. I want money.

If we had all this, she would be cured...

Since things are like this now, we have to start our own business.

Start our own business?

Right, we’ll start a business that doesn't need capital.

Mister, why don't you have your shoes shined?

I'll give you a special price. Hey, mister!

Mister! Hey, mister! Hey!

Maybe it was too straightforward...

All right, this time!

Hey, mister. You're good-looking.

You're going out on a date, right? I'm jealous!

You lover-boy! Lady-kilter!

But if your shoes are dirty, they'll ruin your good looks.

Now come, come, come!

Welcome!

I don't have time for this! idiots...

We were so close!

Who authorized you to do business here?

Authorization? I don't need it. It's a public street!

That's right. You have no right to complain to us!

Shut up! This is our turf. No one except us can shine shoes here!

Move! Now!

You kicked my stuff!

Wait!

Big Bro Enko!

You'd better stop. You can't handier him.

You're...

We meet again...

Wait!

They went over there!

You!

Run! They're hunting homeless children!

- Darn! - Hey!

We don't have parents. If we're caught, we’ll be put in a detention camp!

Darn!

Let go! Darn!

How cruel! This is too much!

What should I do with her?

Leave her! Even if we take her in, she’ll just die.

Stupid jerks!

Stop! They're not dogs!

That's right! Jerks!

Stupid! Damn you!

Everyone, escape now!

Big Brother!

Let go!

What are you doing?

Darn it! What are you doing?

Big Brother!

Darn it!

Hey, Ryuta! Come on!

Right! Hey, Ryuta! Come on!

Dummies!

Wait. Hey!

Dummy! Catch me if you can.

Ryuta, hurry!

Wait!

This way.

Now this way.

Wait! Hey!

This way!

Let's go. This way!

Where did he go?

Damn!

They're quick! Search over there!

Yes, sir!

The black market is like our backyard.

I see... Your mom is sick...

But you're lucky for having a mom.

We...

We were... On that day...

We skipped school and were swimming in the river.

It's our teacher! Dive!

We couldn’t hold our breath, so we stuck out our heads...

We ran back home in a flash...

But our parents, brothers, sisters, and everyone...

I see...

From that day, we started living together.

We can survive like this thanks to Big Bro.

If it weren't for him, we would all be in the detention camp by now.

We would all be suffering hellish days.

Is the detention camp so horrible?

But you'd get three meals a day and a place to sleep.

Don't be ridiculous.

In that place, I would be subject to strict rules, and I would suffocate.

We don't fit well in there.

Anyhow, Big Bro escaped from there!

In short...

We just want to live freely and happily...

With everyone, without anyone telling us what to do.

That's right.

This is Katsuko.

What horrible burns...

Well, drink.

It's American coffee and biscuits.

Awesome.

Sweet! My cheeks are about to drop!

I'm about to pee in my pants and go crazy!

Oh, can I take some of these? I want Mrs. Nakaoka to have some.

Polishing shoes doesn't make money.

We can't live in this luxury just by polishing shoes.

Then what else do you do on the side?

Watchmen for yakuza gambllng.

And...

Charinko? What is that?

Don't you know? You spoil my tempo.

See if you're missing anything.

My study tools? it's odd. I'm sure I put them here...

W-When did you take them?

You pick pockets too?

You'll end up in trouble if you keep doing these things!

You can say whatever you want. But we have no one to rely on.

Every day is a battle for survival.

We don't have the time for high-sounding ideas.

Ryuta. You dummy.

Ouch!

I'm sorry.

What are you doing to my important text book!

You dummy!

You ruined it...

I hate you. Go home!

Go home! Go home! Go home!

What? Go home! Go home! Go home!

Katsuko...

I... I...

What's with her?

Forgive her, Gen. She's envious of you. Because you go to school.

If my parents didn't die in pika... She'd be a fourth grader now.

I'd be a seventh grader. Donguri, a fifth grader...

Musubi and Kacchin would be third graders.

That's why I understand how much she wants to go to school.

I see. That's why she was at the school the other day...

Bye.

See you. Bye.

Wasn't that coffee delicious?

Yup! So good!

Hi, I'm sorry about today. Forgive me.

Gen!

This is from Big Bro Masa. He said to give it to your mom.

Here.

What's this?

Big Brother, it's beef! What's this?

It's American beef! This is great!

It's really great! Thanks, thanks.

Take good care of her for us.

Our moms are gone, so for us too.

Got it. Thanks.

Mrs. Nakaoka will be surprised to see this!

Come on! Let's hurry home and feed her.

Yeah.

Let's race!

Hey, Ryuta. You're sneaky!

Mom.

Mom?

Mom!

Ma'am!

Where did she go in her condition...

It's her!

Mom!

Mom, where did you go? Are you okay to go outside?

I went to see the owner of the factory.

Factory?

I took off for four days. I thought I needed to work soon.

Don't be ridiculous. In your condition...

What are you saying?

If I don't work, you can't go to school without worrying.

But what are you going to do if your condition worsens?

That's right. Don't worry about us. You can stay in bed.

I'm all right. I won't overwork.

For the time being, I can go in only when I feel better.

Now, don't look so worried. Let's go inside.

M-Mom!

I'm all right. Don't worry.

Mom won't listen to anyone once she makes up her mind...

Big Brother, the school’s also closed because of the typhoon.

I wonder how long it’ll last...

I think it’ll stop raining this afternoon.

Where are you going, Mom?

To work, of course.

You should take a day like this off.

That's right. What if you get wet in the rain and catch a cold?

If I take off every time there's a typhoon, we won't survive.

Then I'll carry you on my back.

Gen...

Come on, Mom.

That's enough, Gen. You must be tired.

I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry.

I'm 100% fine.

See, see, see?

One, two...

I see... Mrs. Nakaoka got tighter again...

What are you doing, gramps?

As you see, I'm doing nothing. No, I don't want to do anything.

But if you stay there, you'll catch a cold and die.

That's right.

Thank you...

Strange gramps...

Yeah...

Darn! Not yet?

Hey, what happened?

Here.

This is terrible...

Yeah, as you can see...

It keeps coming in no matter how many times we ball it out.

It's no good. It's out of our control.

Big Bro, how long until it's livable again?

Two months... No, three months...

It could take more...

Hey!

How are the other air raid shelter ruins?

They're the same as here.

Darn!

We're back where we started. We're homeless again.

My house... is small...

A house! Let's ail build a house!

A house?

A house... You mean our house?

But what about materials?

That's right. We don't have posts, panels, nails, or anything.

Don't worry. I know where the materials are. They're free.

What about land?

There's lots of land lying around my neighborhood.

If that's the case... Big Bro!

I have no reason to object if you guys are willing...

Ali right, let's do it!

It's morning. It's 4:30. With lunch box...

...my dad leaves the house.

Leech rice or worm noodles...

The weird gramps from this morning.

Gramps, if you stay there, you'll catch a cold and die.

I'm just waiting to die.

What do you mean?

My wife, sons, grandchildren, and everyone died in pika.

Only I was spared.

I feel sluggish since pika fell, and I don't want to do a thing.

I go to my relatives...

...and they hate me and kick me out since I do nothing.

I heard people like me have atomic bomb lethargy illness.

I don't want to do a thing after the exposure to pika's radioactivity.

I have nowhere to go and nothing to do.

So I want to die and go to the next world.

Yet no one comes to take me to the next world.

Thanks to pika's radioactivity, all my friends are dying.

I want to die soon...

We're ail going to build a house.

If you want to, why not live with us?

That's right.

Is it okay?

You'd better not get involved with me since I cause trouble.

What are you saying? We can't leave you alone!

T-Thank you...

You're kind. I'm happy.

Don't cry, gramps. You're making a fool of yourself.

You're right.

I can still shed tears.

I thought I was tired of crying, and tears wouldn't come out.

Tears are strange...

Well, net’s go! it's the start!

It's the army hospital ruin. If we take the materials...

...we can build a good house.

Let's begin the operation now!

Quick, straighten the nails! We're out!

Yes, yes, yes!

It's almost done.

Yeah, almost.

We did it!

It's done! Finally, it's done.

I'm happy.

I'm happy too.

Banzai!

Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!

Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!

Oh, realty?

Well, she said he came home, but who knows?

If he really came home, that's a good thing.

You never know what happened...

Hey, that's the girl that moved in the other day.

I hope the water doesn't get pika's poison.

That's right.

Hey! Ghost, ghost!

A ghost has come!

Hey! Hey!

Ghost, ghost.

What are you doing to my son?

I... I...

There!

I won again!

You're good, Ryuta.

This is different. This...

What's wrong, Katsuko?

I... I'll never go outside during the day again.

Never.

Someone bullied you again because of your face?

Don't mind those burns. Hold your head high.

Y-You can say those things because you don't have burns.

Wherever I go, everyone hates me.

I can't get married when I become an adult. I'm alone forever.

W-What are you doing?

To hell with this burn! I saw more horrible people on the day of pika!

S-Stop!

This is clean!

Ail right, don't get beaten by pika. We're with you.

Katsuko, shut up and don't cry.

I-I'm happy.

He's the first person who ticked my burn.

Oh, you're crying with joy? If you're so happy, I'll lick more.

S-Stop! It tickles!

Hey, it's about time for work. We're going out.

Huh? What's with you?

You're working, gramps.

I hope it doesn't rain.

An old acquaintance gave me these wheat seeds.

I need to plant them now, or they'll be a useless treasure.

Ail right, I’ll help.

Leave the sowing to me!

Thank you.

You're good.

It's very easy.

Every November, I used to plant seeds...

...with my dad and Shinji, who died in pika.

Wheat sprouts up in cold, harsh winters...

...is stepped on often, and is rooted deep in the earth.

It resists frost, wind, and snow, grows straight...

...and makes splendid ears.

Become strong like wheat, boys.

Right?

I'm tired of that, Dad.

You boys!

Yay! Run!

Yay! Yay! Run!

We can look forward to next year.

Hi.

What are you studying?

Gramps is teaching me kanji.

He was a newspaper writer.

A man shouldn’t be judged by his looks.

What are you talking about?

For the last two days, business is slow, and we've only drunk water.

We're having a meeting about collecting food.

A loud chorus of stomach bugs!

Wow! Lots of food!

Go!

Everyone, hurry up!

Yeah!

Darn!

Oh no! Darn!

You bastard thieves! I won't let you go!

Run!

Wait. Hey!

You bastards!

Brats!

Ryuta, hurry! Brats!

Get rid of it! Come on!

Masa!

Bastard, I'll teach you a lesson!

Stupid!

Masa, come quickly!

Now!

Masa, are you all right?

Yeah.

Big Bro, Kacchin is missing!

What?

Darn!

Wait, you brat!

We have nothing to give you!

Kacchin!

Homeless brat! Our lives depend on that!

Kacchin's Grave

Kacchin, the house where you were born was here.

This is where your dad, mom, and tittie sister died in pika.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Cheap cigarettes! Just ten or five is all right!

I have smoked ones too!

All done.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's cold!

I told you to go away. Didn't you understand?

Now go away, you brat!

Mister, why'd you chase him off?

Did he do something bad?

It’ll be trouble if he dies in front of the shop.

Die?

Right, the number of kids dying from the cold grows at year-end.

This morning, one died next door. I swear.

It's horrible...

it's cold!

Hey, Big Brother, I wonder if next year will be a good one...

Mom seems to be doing well. I'm sure it will be a good year.

What about the year after?

The year after will be a much better year.

Then the year after that will be a much, much better year.

That's right.

It's spinning. It's spinning!

One.

Two.

I eat rice cakes at the beginning of the year.

I had diarrhea in the endless world.

I toppled the new year decoration over and created a great uproar.

I'm supposed to celebrate today, but it's a sad day.

It's puffing up! It smells good!

No, not yet.

How many years has it been since I ate rice cakes in the new year?

I eat rice cakes at the beginning of the year.

I'm home.

Welcome back.

It smelts good.

Yeah.

Mom, how about yours?

I'm sorry, but I already ate. Now eat these too.

I'm fine.

We bought them for you. You can eat it for tomorrow's breakfast.

Thank you for the food!

Here! More!

Mom?

Blood! Are you ail right, Mom?

Hang in there! What should I do?

Ryuta, put her on my back!

Right!

Come on!

Doctor, how is she?

It can't be...

It's a lie! It's a lie!

Mom has only four months to live at most?

Your mom has atomic illness.

The intestines are damaged, not just the stomach.

I can't do anything.

Her body won't accept food anymore.

It's a lie! It's a lie! It's a lie!

You're teasing me, Doctor.

Don't make fun of me! If you say more, I'll hit you!

Damn it...

Damn it!

It's a lie...

Damn it...

Damn it!

Mom!

Mom! Mom! Mom!

You've gotten lighter again, Mom...

You were pretending to eat so that you wouldn't make us worry...

We're dummies since we didn't notice...

...but you're a bigger dummy!

You're a dummy! A big dummy!

Nakaoka Family Grave Dad, Eiko, Shinji, Tomoko...

Nakaoka Family Grave Give me a hand. Please give me the power.

Give me a hand. Please give me the power.

I don't want to put Mom here yet. I want her to live forever!

Dad, tell Mom not to come here!

Make a miracle happen and cure Mom's disease!

Please! Please!

Dad, Eiko, Shinji, Tomoko...

Please!

I heard from Ryuta. Your mom seems to be bad.

I heard the black market...

...has a brand-new medicine catted penicillin.

Penicillin?

It has a good reputation since it works on all kinds of diseases.

But it's so expensive that your eyeballs will pop out.

How much is it?

In the black market, it's said to cost several thousand yen.

That's too much.

We can't get it no matter what we do.

Gen.

I can't stand still. Gen.

I have to earn as much as possible.

I'm home...

M-Mom?

Welcome back.

There are steamed potatoes in the pantry.

What are you doing, Mom?

I told you that you need to lie down.

What'll you do if your disease gets worse?

That's right! Big Brother is right!

I'm ail right. I've rested for three weeks.

See? Like this.

The factory owner visited me today.

I asked if I can stay home and work.

Why do you always think of working?

Somehow, Ryuta and I will earn money.

Please stop, Mom!

I like this work very much.

Why?

When I work, I feel relaxed.

Since I feel like I'm working with Dad, who died in pika.

We just have to work hard.

I want the children to eat as much as they want.

Yeah.

Mom, teach me the work.

I want to learn the work that you and Dad were doing.

I want my body to remember it forever.

Ma'am, teach me too.

Then we can help when we come home at night, ma'am!

Ail right.

Mom.

What?

Can I sleep with you?

You're a baby, Big Brother!

I guess I have no choice.

All right, you can.

Mom, realty?

Hurry up and go to sleep.

Ma'am, can I sleep together too?

Ail right.

All right!

Mom is warm... Mom smells good...

Gen, you can't be a baby forever.

M-Mom!

Gen, when I eventually die, you'll live on your own.

I know.

I know, but...

Listen, Gen.

Just as Dad said, live strongly like the wheat that sprouts up...

...no matter how much it gets stepped on, Gen.

Hey, you're catching the river shrimp?

All right, I’ll help too.

It's cold!

Give me that.

Oh! Food!

It's cold!

I didn't know there were so many from pika in here...

Come quickly!

You help too! Come quickly!

I'm home.

Mom, the money for the goods today!

It's more than I expected!

Let's work more before dinner.

Thank you so much for helping.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

Yeah.

Even if the doctor says it's no use, I won't let mom die!

I'll save her at any cost!

Daido Shipyard?

I heard a rumor that people went to steal stuff using boats.

I heard there's lots of copper and lead there.

Daido Shipyard is the company that made money during the war.

We can steal freely.

Big Brother, if it works, we can buy Mrs. Nakaoka the penicillin.

Gen, I’ll help too.

All right, for penicillin! Penicillin!

Gen, I can see it. It's over there!

Yeah, net’s load up a lot and come back.

Listen. Watch closely.

Steel theft is increasing.

They'll fire me if I don't catch them.

Oh, there they are!

It's true!

Who's there!

The steel thieves!

Damn, I won't let them escape today!

They've taken a lot! I’ll catch them and beat them to death!

That's ridiculous. It's our first time stealing.

I can't take blame for what the other thieves did and get kitted!

Big Brother, what now?

No choice but to run.

Darn, things aren't going well. A mountain of copper in front of us...

Run to shore and jump in the sea. Ali right, let's go!

Yeah!

There they are!

Wait!

They escaped into the sea.

I don't see them!

Damn, annoying bastards!

Dummies, a splash doesn't mean we jumped.

Ninja sound trick.

You're pretty smart.

Well, net’s try again.

Here come, here come the pirates.

Carrying a long, long spear.

They stole lots of iron.

It went well, Big Brother.

We can make a lot of money with this much.

I can finally buy Mom's penicillin.

It's awful, Big Brother! Water, water!

What?

Darn, you junk boat!

H-Hurry, ball it out! If we sink, everything will be lost.

Big Brother!

Darn, I can't give up like this!

I’ll bring this back no matter what happens!

Ryuta, we're almost at the Eba coast! Hang in there!

How unlucky. Victory was close when the boat sank...

The world doesn't turn the way you want it to... Darn it!

Darn it! All that trouble for nothing!

Darn it!

Darn it!

Darn it!

I'm hungry... I don't want to walk...

Hey, Big Brother, where are we?

These are the ruins of the army's shooting range...

Let's check it out!

Yankee bastards. What a horrible thing to do...

Burying bones with machines...

Really, there have to be better ways. Burying bones with machines...

Those skeletons were people that suffered and died by pika.

The deceased can't rest in peace like that.

Darn it, stop it, stop it, stop it!

That's right! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it! That's right! Stop it!

Why'd America drop the atomic bombs? Dummies!

Bring back my dad! Bring back Eiko! Bring back Shinji!

Dummies!

Bullets from guns.

I see. This is the army practice shooting range.

So many bullets.

Hey, these are copper.

We can collect and sell them, Gen!

That's right! That's right!

Ali right, Ryuta, hurry back and get everyone!

Masa and I will dig here!

All right, leave it to me!

There's a lot! We're rotting in copper!

Tokyo boogie-woogie, money cache, cache.

My heart throbs, throbs.

Tokyo boogie-woogie, hey!

Tokyo boogie-woogie, money cache, cache.

My heart throbs, throbs.

Tokyo boogie-woogie, hey!

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Hang in there. Hang in there, Mom!

Hurry!

Mom!

Hang in there! I'll take you to a good hospital!

Thank you, Gen.

Your back is warm...

Just like Dad's back...

Even when you're alone, use your legs...

...and stand firmly, firmly on the ground.

And live.

Ail right, Gen?

What are you saying, Mom?

Almost there! Hang on!

Ail right? Ail right, Mom?

Mom...

Ma'am!

Mom, you've gotten light.

You've really gotten light...

Gen.

If I die, and you're left alone, live strongly like the wheat.

Like wheat that sprouts no matter how many times it's stepped on.

All right?

I can't be the only one crying forever.

Ail right.

Ryuta, everyone, net’s race!

Here I go!

Big Brother!

Ali right, I won't lose!

Gen!

Big Brother, wait!

Hey, I’ll catch up with you!

I'm the wheat!

I'll be the wheat!

The wheat that sprouts in harsh winters, gets stepped on often...

...grows straight and makes ears!

And I'll stand firmly on the ground and keep walking.

Dad...

Mom...

I won't lose.

I'll live with all my strength!

I'll do my best!

I'll do my best!

Run barefoot and the heels hurt.

The pebbles I bump usually hurt.

Yet I kick the dirt with bare feet.
