Akkun...
Akkun!
What are you doing?
The reason I called you here today
is because they're gonna finally let me start cutting hair next month,
and I wanted you to be my hair model.
We made that promise, remember?
I finally understand. I actually changed the present.
It really worked!
A number I don't recognize.
Hello?
You must've succeeded.
Huh? Who's this?
And you just returned from the past.
Naoto?!
Fantastic! You actually did it! Everything changed!
Takemichi-kun...
Let's go see my sister!
Huh?!
Hina's alive?!
The escalating dispute between the Tokyo Manji Gang
Tragedy Unfolds as Large Truck Drives Into Shopping District During Festival
has now claimed innocent victims.
Wait, seriously? That's insane...
Six were injured in this incident. One was sent to the hospital,
Potato Chippuns
but is in cardiopulmonary arrest.
The ones who died at the scene...
...Tachibana-san's older sister, Tachibana Hinata-san, 26.
The MPD is on high alert.
Tachibana... Hinata?
Back then, all I could do was watch the TV.
But now, I can actually go see Hina.
Hina's alive!
After doing some research, it looks like the incident with my sister never even happened.
What? You mean the fighting within Toman?
Yes.
But I must say, I'm surprised that you actually succeeded.
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
Well, you're just such trash, you know?
Seriously, are you trying to pick a fight?
Does it really matter? We get to see my sister.
That's right. I get to see Hina.
Naoto, I'm super excited right now.
Being able to see Hina in the present is like a dream.
We're here.
Huh? Oh...
I wonder if Hina's changed.
Of course she has.
It's been twelve years since you two broke up. She's an adult now.
An adult?
Apparently, she teaches grade school now.
Wow...
Takemichi-kun!
I missed you!
Hey, come on, now, Hina.
Perhaps you two should get a room.
Naoto's watching.
What's wrong with me? Like that'll happen when I see Hina again.
Let's break up.
Naoto...
Yes?
Actually... I'm not going to see her after all.
Huh? What brought this on?
Just think about it. I did save Hina's life,
but Hina doesn't know that.
You can go ahead and see her. You're her little brother,
but I'm just a complete stranger.
Takemichi-kun...
I just want her to be happy.
Twelve years... Twelve years, huh?
Who would remember a guy they went out with twelve years ago?
What the hell am I doing?
I worked so hard, yet nothing's changed.
I'm still a 26-year-old virgin working a part-time job.
How could I face Hina like this?
No matter how much I travel through time, I'm still a failure.
But Hina's alive. That's more than enough. If I ask for any more...
I'll just go back...
Back to my old life.
Oh, I'm sor—
Wait...
Am I dreaming?
Takemichi-kun?
No...
What?
You're...
right in front of me.
You always show up out of the blue, Takemichi-kun.
Did something happen?
No, I'm fine.
Oh, crap. They won't stop.
Your eyes haven't changed at all.
U-Um...
Yes?
Great weather we're having!
Yes!
It's cloudy.
I know it's been a while since you've seen each other, so what's the deal?
I'm sure you have plenty to talk about.
Yet you're talking about the weather?
Well, I'm nervous. I didn't know what to say.
It has been a while.
I'm going home.
Huh?!
W-W-W-W-Wait, Naoto!
I can't bear to be in the same room as you two.
Figure this out on your own. Goodbye.
If I'm left alone with her, my heart will pop outta my chest, and I'll die!
Naoto, are you trying to kill me?!
And you call yourself my best friend?!
I am not your best friend!
That's so mean!
Let go of me.
You fiend! You demon!
You really haven't changed, Takemichi-kun.
Huh?
That necklace...
Is that the one I gave her?
Shall we go for a drive? That'll probably make it easier to talk.
I'll drive.
Huh?
Yeah.
This didn't change anything at all.
What's going on?!
That's definitely the necklace I gave her.
Does that mean Hina also still...
No! She might've just bought a really similar necklace recently.
Yeah, that must be it.
Thank goodness. I was gonna get all giddy for nothing.
But I'm gonna look one more time.
We need your backup right away.
Yes, sir.
Sorry, I got called in to work.
Huh?
I'll come get my car tomorrow.
Okay.
W-W-Wait! Are you just leaving us here?!
You two need to actually talk things out. You're both adults now.
Crap. I totally missed my chance.
I really don't know what to say now.
More importantly, that necklace...
I want to get a closer look, but...
Hey, can we stop here?
Sure!
Why don't we go for a little walk, Takemichi-kun?
Sure!
I haven't been to this park in forever.
Is this a memorable place for you?
I came here with the person I love.
I-I see...
On Christmas Eve.
Why am I getting all giddy? That necklace...
Does she still have feelings for...
Of course. She's 26.
Of course she has a boyfriend.
I'm just the ex-boyfriend she dumped twelve years ago.
I see! So this place is special!
I still can't forget him.
Huh?
It was on Christmas Eve that he broke up with me.
I don't want to hear this!
Wow, someone actually dumped you, Hina?
What the hell am I saying?
Why did I get dumped? I still don't understand.
Please tell me, Takemichi-kun.
Huh? You're crying?
Wait...
The person you love...
The person you can't forget...
Sorry! I-I gotta go to the bathroom!
You go on and head back to the car!
I'm the one who got dumped, right?
Did I end up dumping Hina in this world?
I still can't forget him.
Does she still have feelings for me?
Of course she doesn't.
But...
There's no point in being hesitant about this.
I need to change.
I'm going to ask Hina out!
Of course, it probably won't go well.
But this is a chance to change myself!
Huh?
You're not in the car.
This sucks.
Is he talking to himself? What a weirdo.
I was hoping I could take care of both of you at once.
Punishment
But I'm sorta in charge of Moebius for now.
The name's Hanma.
Hanma?
I have a bad feeling.
You're not in the car.
The car?
And I worked up all that courage, too.
Hina!
Takemichi?
Why... Why aren't you in the car?
No way...
Akkun!
What are you doing here?
I wonder... how things ended up like this.
I wonder how things ended up like this.
I'm one of Kisaki's soldiers now.
Everyone in Toman has to obey Kisaki.
He's saying the same thing he did before?!
Why did you do this to Hina?
You're a hairstylist, right? You've got nothing to do with Toman anymore!
I'm scared. I'm just... terrified of Kisaki.
Stop...
Please save everyone...
Our crybaby hero.
Stop! You said this all before!
This is all the same again! Nothing's changed at all!
Things were supposed to change!
Hina...
Hina!
She's alive.
Hang on, Hina! I'm gonna get you out of there!
Hina, let's get the hell outta here!
Takemichi-kun...
Hina! We don't have time to talk! This thing's gonna blow!
Thank you.
You can tell me that later!
I can't...
Huh?
I can't... feel my legs anymore.
Huh?
In the future... In the past... Always and forever...
I've always loved you!
I'm so happy.
You need to go.
No!
Please.
I don't want someone so important to me... to die, too.
No!
Takemichi-kun!
Huh?
Hina!
I'm going to save you, no matter what!
I don't care how many times I fail! Even if it's over and over again!
Until I reach the future where you're safe...
I'm never going to back down!
I've made up my mind, Hina.
I'm...
gonna be the head of Toman!
