Groups of unemployed workers, who have grown in number...
due to tax reforms enacted by the former Prime Minister, are rioting all across the country.
There is confusion among parliament members which was sparked by the comments...
of Finance Minister Takanashi during the recent parliament inquiry.
There seems to be no compromise in sight between the government and opposition.
- Hey, there. Call it.
- Gimme somethin'. Three peanuts.
Let's see......
Now, uh......
The Clown bastards are herded out on route number 5.
Damn it, don't scare me like that. Open that damn door quietly.
You know, you wouldn't be so jumpy if you didn't have anything to hide.
Why don't you sell normal drinks for a change?
How about buyin' somethin' for once?
Yeah, right! Drink your dog piss?
Twin ceramic rotor drives on each wheel.
Let's see. And these are...
computer-controlled antilock brakes.
Huh, 200 horses at 12,000 R.P.M.
You want to ride it, Tetsuo?
All right! Let's hit it!
I customized that bike for myself. It's too wild. You couldn't handle it.
I don't see how you could ride something crazy like that, man.
Huh! I could.
Ha! If you want it so bad then steal one yourself.
- Unbelievable.
- Unbelievable. - Punks!
Hey, waiter! Where are you going?
They ran into the alley! After 'em!

Fuck!
What?
- That's the......
- That's the...... - Huh?
This is unit 375.
We've got reports of biker gangs fighting near the intersection of highway 14 South.
Request immediate assistance. Car 375 en route to the scene......
It's the cops. What should we do?
Damn it. My motor coils were just getting warmed up.
Bastards! Let's go, Tetsuo!
I'm coming!

 - Come on!
A skirmish has broken out between student protesters and riot police.
There appear to be some casualties. Next...

Jerk, I'm in a hurry!
- What was that?
- What was that? - Call the Police!
This area is off limits!
Go back! It's dangerous!
Hey, something strange over there.
Let me through! Sorry.
What're you doing?
It's blood. Look!
Please let me through. Excuse me. Pardon me.
Watch it, jerk!
Pardon me. I'm sorry.
Ryu!
Hey, look! They're running away!
He's got a gun!
Fire!
Wait! He's got a kid!
Run.
You gotta hurry.
Go to Ryu.
Ryu will help you now.
Get out of here... Now!
Kei!
We've gotta get out of here, Kei?
He's gone!
He's to the West.
West? The old city......
Eat this!
Tetsuo!
Ryu! Where are you?
Kei!
No, that's......
How do you like that?
Well? Who is it?
It's not him. It's not Tetsuo.
All right. Move out!
Why you... What'd you do, you weird little......
Tetsuo! Just hang on!
What? What did you say?
That kid......
He's really hurt bad.
Hey! You, there!
We gotta get him to a hospital! He needs an ambulance!
We can't move him!
Wha...What the...!
There's no escape.
We're here to take you back with us.
You know we can't survive outside.
Well, come along.
Army helicopters! It's the army!
Move out!
Kiss the ground! Hands on your heads!
We're, uh, innocent bystanders, that's all.
Kiss the ground! Hands on your heads!
That hurts, damn it.
Kai!
Soldier.
- Sir.
- Sir. - Who are those kids?
They seem to be an ordinary biker gang, sir.
We're returning.
- Ouch! Will you just hold on a minute?
- Ouch! Will you just hold on a minute? - My arms don't bend that way!
Pull the wounded onto the helicopter.
Tetsuo! Hey, wait! You can't take him away like that!
Kaneda!
 We didn't do anything!
Get off!
All right. The story is, you and your friends went out at night...
on your bikes to visit your dying mother, and then...
another bunch of biker hooligans called the Clowns attacked you.
They hurt your friend, you lost your temper, and that's why eight of these Clowns...
your attackers...are all now in the hospital, and that is the truth.
Wow! She sure is hot.
Hmm? This is confidential!

 She cleared the hump.
She cleared the hump, and you left her for cruising, huh?
Wha...?
Ah, these bozos couldn't have anything to do with it.
That goes without saying.
Wait out on that bench.
All right. Send in the next five.
So the army's working with the police...
to hunt down antigovernment groups, or so it seems.

Long live the freedom revolution!
He's got a grenade!
All right, that's enough. Get him back in there.
I'll teach him a lesson. He won't forget.
 If you wanna die, hang yourself!
Listen, you kids are free to leave. We've contacted your schools. See your principle in the morning
Hold on a second, old man!
Wha... "Old man"?
There was someone else with us, you know.
What was that?
Excuse me, please?
Huh? Hey! What are you doing?
Uh, it's this one right here. Can't leave my friend.

That's my foot !
You listen here, kid. I'm only 25 years old. I'm not even married yet.
Watch your mouth. Get out of here and take your friend with you.
- I'm starving!
- I'm starving! - I need a doctor!
I think the army was chasing that weird kid Kaneda saw. That's what I think.
Yeah, you're right. I think I saw him too.
Speaking of Tetsuo, why the hell wouldn't they tell us what hospital they threw him in?
Huh? What was that?
What I meant was maybe we could go for a drink.
I figure we could have a nice, long chat about something you're into...
like the whole revolution thing.
I think you're a skirt chaser who'll try anything he can.
You'll help anyone so long as it's a girl. Right?
You're wrong!
- I have very high standards.
- I have very high standards. - Line 'em up! Come on! Move it!
It's not their looks that count. It's their... I don't know......
A girl's sensitivity that makes me do it.
I suppose I owe you one. Thank you very much, uh......
- I'm Kaneda. It's nice to... Huh?
- I'm Kaneda. It's nice to... Huh? - See you around, Kaneda.
Wait a second! You're leaving just like that?
Hey! Now hold on. I'm the guy that saved you back there.

Yes, I'll try talking with him, but it's risky business.
If they think you're avoiding responsibility, the whole thing could blow up in your face.
I can't believe that there's a mole in the executive council.
Even if there is a mole......
That's not what's important here!
What is are political maneuvers and diplomacy which, apparently, you despise.
I never studied the two subjects in school, it would seem.
In any case, at the next executive council meeting...
your poor management and lack of judgment on this last incident...
will be called into question.
There's a call for the colonel, sir.
Put your affairs in order, if you want my advice.
Yes, it's me. What is it now?
This way, please, Colonel.

Colonel, please look at this.
It's the special pattern I'm getting from that young man.
It doesn't resemble any that I've seen so far...
and I've never seen a developmental speed or configuration like this.
It may have begun with the shock of contact with number 26, or it could be......
Have you finished running the comparison against Akira's pattern?
I'll show you right now.
This projection is made using mixed data, and the results are not quite correct...
so a direct comparison is difficult.
But I believe based on what we see here that this boy's pattern is the key...
to solving the riddle of Akira's growth-pattern process.
- Fine. You may continue.
- Thank you very much, sir.
I'm certain he'll turn out to be a worthy addition to the numbers, don't you?
It may be rough on the boy...
but I thought we might try starting him off with level 7 capsules.
Is it safe, doctor?
I will take care of it.
No! I wasn't talking about the boy at all!
If he turns out to reach a power like Akira's...
are you positive that you are able to control such power?
Uh, well, that's a......
Can you handle this?
Uh, well, then, in my opinion...
if we can use the latest examination equipment to collect even more data...
and also do a multifaceted analysis as we go, then surely......
But maybe we weren't meant to meddle with that ultimate power.
You mean... the power of a god?
"A-ki-ra."
But we have no choice but to grasp that power...
grasp that power and learn to control it.
And if this situation gets out of hand, then he's to be terminated.
- And without hesitation!
- Yes, Colonel.
This school is your last chance!

If you can't live a decent social life, you end up here!
And if you screw up here, it's the end of the road!
Also, even though you're under 15, if you get more than 50 penalty points...
you're sent to the regular court.
Aw, bite me. Don't mess with us, you bald old goat.
Are you listening?
- You lost me halfway through.
- Discipline!
Discipline! Discipline!
Discipline! Dismissed!
Thank you very much, sir.
- You loser!
We're gonna remember this!

- Damn!
Hi, Yamagata!
What happened to your cheek?
- Don't bother me.
I heard you got into a fight.
My friends told me you fought the Clowns on the highway in the old city.
Big deal.
Why didn't you wipe 'em out? Those guys are so gross.

What happened to Tetsuo?
He's in the hospital, but we don't know where.

- You're talking about Tetsuo, right?

Why do you have to be hangin' on my arm every minute?

Tetsuo, it's time for your medicines.
Doctor, hurry! The boy is gone!
No, I can't.
 That woman is such a pain.
She's always complaining about us girls. Huh? Tomorrow at 3:00?
Yeah, that's cool. Hey, what happened to that girl? You know who.
I don't like her at all.
Kaori!
Tetsuo!
Everyone's been worried about you. They thought you were dead.
When I woke up, I was on an operating table or something.
That examination... Ohh!

No, I don't want to go back there again. We'll run away.
Where would we go to?
I don't know. Someplace. Someplace far away.
Self study today!
Where'd the teacher go to?
What about my burning desire to study and learn a vocation?
Drag his butt in here!
- Kaneda! Hurry! Your bike!
What about my bike?
See? Look down there!
Wha... Tetsuo?
- Is this okay?
Aw, quiet!
- Huh? What the......
What's wrong?
- Uuh! Aw, Shit!
Ooh!
Oops, it's...stopping... stopped......
I get it. The engine can't drop below 5,000 R.P.M.S even when you're changing the gears.

I understand now.
Look, some bikes.
Is that Kaneda and... Wha... No, it isn't!
 Kaori!
Any sign of 'em?
Kuwata and the others went to go look around Kisarazu.
The only place we haven't searched now is the industrial area.
Okay! Let's go!
We owe you from the other night. Now it's time for payback.
Whoo-hoo!

Kaori! What happened?
No, don't!

Huh?
Run!
After them!
No, wait.
Tetsuo!
 You want that?
I want him more than dead! I'll split his friggin' head open!
Just knock it off now!
This whole thing happened because you took my bike for a spin. Enough already.
 Don't order me around!
We were just worried.
Why do you always have to try to save me?
I could handle it on my own.
I admit that I've gotten beaten before, but I won't always be on the receiving end.

Tetsuo......
 Go away!
Hey, wait! Where're you going?

"Akira!"
Tetsuo!
Something wrong?
"Akira!"
I don't know who that is!
Tetsuo... What's wrong?
This is really strange. I'm getting a blue pattern on scope number 3.
What? No! Retrieve the subject now! Hurry!
Why don't you guys just leave my friend alone?
What's with the getup, huh? You goin' to a funeral?
Tetsuo!
Kaneda!

No, wait!
Kaneda, what the hell's goin' on?
Well, well. I see we have some real hip youngsters...
doin' their thing in spite of the tight checkpoints they got going around tonight.

This is boring.
Hey, what do you say? Let's go home.
What? But it's still early.
Yeah, but without their bikes, they're just tail chasers outta water.
You mean "fish".
Come on. Let's go and toss these fish back.
Hey, Kaneda. What are we gonna do?
- What the heck?
- Look.
That's......
Here we go again. Look, let's get out of here before we get caught up in it.
- Huh? Kaneda?
- Hey!

Those who wish to get through, line up in single file...
present your I.D. and proceed through the checkpoint.
Get in. What's wrong? Hurry.
I'll meet you shortly.
You know the rendezvous point, right?
- Be careful.
- You too. You be careful.
Hey! Hold it right there!
She's got a gun!
Okay, that's far enough! All right, drop it!
Drop it!
Don't do it!
- I think it came from over here.
There were two shots.
No, three. It's just up ahead!
Hey! Let's get out of here. Come on!
Kaneda!
There. Now what's the matter? Talk about it.
It was a dream that I saw.
A dream?
The city started to crumble apart, covered by a big shadow.
Lots of people died. And the three of us...
we get to meet Akira again.
Wha... Akira?
The city will crumble......
So many people...
When will it happen? Do you know when? Kiyoko!
You mustn't let that boy go.
His power, it......
- What's she talking about?
Well, there's, uh......
There seems to be nothing physically wrong with her.
Her medication looks accurate. There's no sign of any abnormalities...
in her EKG or her EEG either.
I think number 25's statement is probably her precognitive power at work.
You know, this needs to be brought before the supreme council for inquiry.
Do you believe her?
I have no doubts regarding number 25's abilities.
We have lots of data that substantiate it.
What do you believe, Colonel?
I'll tell you, my job isn't to believe or disbelieve. It's to act or not act!
Here, sir. Cold gear, Colonel. Please put it on. You too, doctor.
The other day, a young researcher came to me and asked me something.
He wondered if their power was the form of the next stage...
that human evolution was taking, and perhaps we would all be able to control it some day.

Military men, on the other hand, always consider the risks first.
Over 30 years it's taken.
We've come so far crawling up from the rubble.
We can't just trade one for the other.
But I've always thought that you held a resentment...
even a hatred for this city, Colonel.
The passion to build has cooled, and the joy of reconstruction forgotten.
Now...
But in spite of that, you're trying to save the city.
I'm not a scientist. I think like a soldier.
Colonel, we're here, sir.
This way, please.
Room 10, 148 degrees Kelvin.
Fluctuation tolerance range, check.
Room 9, 118 degrees Kelvin.
Fluctuation tolerance, check.
Emergency power generator, check.
- Open the door.
- Sir. Um...
- The control room. Do it!
- Yes, sir!
Room 1 is at 0.0005 degrees Kelvin.
It's within tolerance range. No abnormalities detected in any of the rooms...
dewar walls or defense system.
No abnormal atmospheric concentrations or reactions recorded.
So then all systems are normal.
Look at what they abandoned in their panic.
They were afraid. They were too scared, so they hid it away from the public...
losing all sense of shame and honor, casting aside the civilization...
and abandoning the science that created it.
Shutting the lid of the Pandora's box they, themselves, had opened!
- Ryu!
- Hey, we're still young.
- Ryu!
- We could start over again.
- I'll go with you.
- Ryu!
Turn yourself in!
This was the first time you killed a man, right?
- Ryu!
!- Anyway, when you get out...
let's go out for drinks. Don't kick yourself over it.
What's done is done. You've heard that.
Identify yourselves!
Ryu! Oh, are you all right?
- Kei, it's you!
- Ryu!
Who's this?
Who? Me?
Well, I guess if I say that I'm Kei's boyfriend, it's stretching it a bit.
It depends on your point of view.
But we haven't gotten physical or anything.
- You understand, don't you?
- Are you a spy?
- No, I'm not!
- You're lying!
- Well, is he a spy or not?
- Whatever he is, he's certainly not a spy.
Ow!
Sneak into their lab?
Ridiculous! Remember the fiasco with that kid?
They're last-minute orders, and the plan is in place already.
These are the lab passes they issue once a week.
From Mr. Nezu, right?
What's the objective?
We're to gather detailed data on the new subject.
- A new subject?
- Yes.
Last week, on the same night we tried to abduct the experimental subject called number 26...
a boy who was in an accident on an old city highway was brought to the lab.
It seems that he's a student at a vocational training school...
but now he's their new subject for human experimentation.
Huh?
Ow, ouch!!
Hey, hey, hey! What's the big idea?
You!
 He heard us.
- Ryu?
Wait! Now just hold on a minute! Hear me out. Please listen to me!
Ryu, he did save me.
- Yeah! Twice!
- Maybe he did it just to get close to us.
The guy who was in that accident in the old city is my friend.
I know it's hard for you to believe what I'm saying, but it's the truth.
I was right there when it happened!
Come on! Don't they say the only foolish questions are unasked ones?
They don't?
That's an intriguing story, isn't it?
Well, will you be taking the boy with you?
He knows the subject and I think we can use him as a decoy if we find it necessary.
Neo Tokyo is going to change soon.
In all respects, this city is saturated.
It's like an overripe fruit.
Buried within it is a new seed.
We need only wait for the wind which will make it fall to fruition......
The wind called "Akira".
Ryu, look over here.
What is it?
We aren't the ones who will change it...
but rather, those citizens who hope for Akira that will.
That which is called science perverts providence!
That which is called progress encourages extravagance!
That which is called civilization devastates the spirit of man!
The time of atonement is upon us! Are your hearts prepared?
The time is nigh! The time of his awakening is nigh!
The moment of lord Akira's awakening is drawing closer!
- Are your minds prepared?
- Break it up!
Holding meetings here is prohibited.
This gathering is illegal!
Terrorist activities carried out by antigovernment elements...
have skyrocketed this month.
The army, riot squad and even the traffic police have been fully mobilized.
The overtime costs alone have used up the public safety budget.
And then there's the abduction of number 26.
Isn't their existence supposed to be the highest of state secrets, Colonel?
No one's ever heard of peace and order in Neo Tokyo then?
And this, this request of yours for further... Ah, yes...
for further funding because of subject number 25's prediction.
You must be joking! While straightening out the historic tax-reform blunders...
of our former Prime Minister, we parliament members have been bowing our heads down...
and begging the public to bear with us.
And what does he ask for? Money! Where, exactly, do we get that kind of money?
You've already spent a fortune here...
and all we have to show for it is that grotesque kindergarten!
The Olympics is next year, and the postwar period is over.
How much longer will you keep throwing away money on these worthless ghosts?
I always said we should put that money into the welfare program!

What was that?
Now listen here! That power is starting to walk around free as we speak.
Unless we control that power now, we'll lose everything we tried so hard to achieve.
- Take that "old man" comment back! - Your lack of policy started this mess!
There's still no proof that the last world war was caused by Akira, in my opinion.

Unless an Akira disaster actually happens... Don't you people understand anything?
Has anyone ever seen the "Akira"...?
Akira was number 25, wasn't he?
He should be number 21.
I say that the colonel has lost sight of his duty as a soldier!
And I have had several reports on antigovernment elements...
how they're using your Akira madness to whip up their terrorist fervor.
It's not true. It's just not!
Then what about that Akira world renewal movement?
Wouldn't you say that information's being leaked?
World renewal movement? It's more like the end of the world.
Aren't you just using Akira as camouflage to cover up your misconduct? Admit it!
What are you getting at?
Colonel......
Understand that we can no longer leave the peace of Neo Tokyo to your sole discretion.
Get rid of him!
I'm sorry, but you are to be put before an inquiry committee.
He should be suspended!
Excuse me!
What?
This discussion isn't over!
- This is an outrage!
- You should explain yourself!
Are you trying to insult the supreme executive council?
Water.
Hey. Wait a minute.
Let's see. Isn't that cable replacement due for next week?
Well, the cable they ordered came in a whole week early.
And besides, I've got vacation time coming, and I'm leaving this weekend.

I could leave now and come back, but the work's gotta be done sooner or later.
All right, guys. Let's go.
What the...!
It's milk.
Stay away!
- Whaa! - Whoa!
- It's blood!
-I'm scared.
Weirdo!
What? Those kids......
"Patient, Room 887. Shima, Tetsuo."
Oh. The automatic lock's off?
Hey, you! You're not allowed to leave your room!
Let's go back into your room.
- What happened?
- Looks terrible.
There are 58 blocks with circuits that the computer won't display.
Of those, nearly 40 are concentrated on underground levels 7 and 8.
That's probably the place.
The central wiring shaft should be straight up ahead.
We'll be able to use that to go straight down to the sublevels.
Be careful. It's deeper in the middle.
Whew.

 Is your nose busted?
Keep up and be quiet!
Damn! Hug the walls!
Huh? What are you guys doing?

Looks like they beefed up security, doesn't it?
- Must be that siren we heard.
- Should we scout a way around it?
- No. Let's keep going.
- Hey. Are you okay?
I want to check their security at the very least.
Damn! They spotted us! Run for it!
Don't shoot! Hold your fire!
Shimazaki!
- You assholes!
- Forget it! Run!

It's coming back!
Don't shoot!
This is unit 304, Shaft "H".
I have encountered intruders. Requesting backup. Now engaging.
Here it comes!
Oh! Kei!
The gun!

Kaneda!
Kei! Over here!
Now!
Kaneda, come on! Hurry!
Kaneda, no!
What the hell... Where are the brakes?
- That's not it.
- This is the central wiring shaft, I think.
- I can't figure it out!
- What the......
There now. That's right. Behave.
Ask the colonel for clearance on the use of firearms.
Hey. Turn the radio up.
There must be some mistake here.
That boy looks like the patient admitted in the lab.
Correct. Tetsuo Shima. He broke out of his ward.
- He's headed for "the baby room".
-It's Tetsuo?
He's extremely dangerous. Do not let him through!
Huh? What...?
It's no use hiding anymore.
We have no choice, then. Use your guns!
We can't let him go any further, no matter what it takes!
Fire!
Good. All here, are you?
Stop it!
So how long are you gonna keep playing around?
Where's the other one hiding, huh?
Hey, you!
Huh?
Die!
Takashi!
 Am I dreaming?
These powers, are they real or just a hallucination?
 Where the hell am I going?
Proceed straight. Proceed straight ahead.
Huh?
You'll find a freight elevator just ahead.
You can take it down to sublevel 8.
That's good.
You thought you could kill me?
I'm through with it.

Huh?
You were there. I remember.
Takashi!
- Huh?
- Together, let's attack him.
O...Okay.

All of you, that is enough!

What's the matter? Is your head hurting?
Tetsuo Shima, your power isn't fully matured yet.
If you push yourself, you might do irreparable damage. We can help.
 What...did you people do?
You messed with my head!
Tetsuo Shima, calm yourself.
But he can't control it, sir.
What'd you say?
She said that big people like you...
should never use the power in the way that you are.
And bad things will come of it.
Mind your own business, will you?
What? More powerful than I am now?
He's the one! He's the one who's been invading my head all along!
Where is he?
Where's this "Akira"? Tell me now!
What?
Kiyoko says you'll wake him up and if you awaken Akira like that...
when that happens, no one will be able to stop him.
To prevent it, we have to stop you.
Ridiculous. Akira's already...!
Where is he?
- No! Don't!
- Stay back!
Red level to facility integrity has passed level 7.
Enacting disaster protocol.
Red level to facility integrity has passed level 7.
Enacting disaster protocol.
Wha...?!
Hands up! Now!
Where in the hell's the friggin' baby room?
Heads up!
Coming through!
Kiyoko.
That hurt.
Kaneda.
What are you doing in here?
Tetsuo! You okay? I'm here to rescue you.
Hurry up!
If we don't get out of here, those...
Huh?
There he is! Capture him!
You keep away!
Kaneda!
Oh, that's right. I forgot you were there.
There. Do you see, Kaneda?
I won't be needing you to come to the rescue ever again, okay?
From now on, I'll be in charge of the heroics...
so if you need any saving, just ask, Kanny.
Damn it, Tetsuo.
Ha! You don't like what you're hearing, do you?
Makes you angry. So what are you gonna do now?
Well, Kaneda? What are you gonna do now?
That's enough!
Stop it! Don't hurt anyone else!
Where's this Akira?
I won't tell.
Olympic stadium... Underground.
No! Don't! What you're thinking is wrong! Akira is......
Oh! Wait!

I can do this too?
Kiyoko, are you all right?
It doesn't look like she's hurt.
What about you, Masaru? You're bleeding.
Where'd he go to?
He flew away.
How can he have so much power?
How could this have happened?
 Where are my men at?
He's developed so much power in such a short time, it's unbelievable.
Find him! Start searching for Tetsuo.
- Find him!
- Kaneda, come on!
Somebody, help me with this rock.
- Tetsuo went to where Akira is.
- What?
That's good. You're all safe.
He's heading for the facility below the Olympic construction site.
How'd he find out about it?
 You're saying that he's managed to escape?
Then we'll follow him. Prepare for pursuit!
- He's heading west toward the stadium.
- He's heading west toward the stadium. - Come on! Move!
I want additional checkpoints on all outbound streets leading to the construction site.
It was you.
According to the security team...
reviews of tapes showed five intruders disguised as workers...
entering the wiring shaft.
I have to stop him before his powers mature.
Your objective is the boy, Tetsuo Shima.
If we are unable to capture him, we'll lure him out to the old city and attack.
Request assistance from the Eastern district battalion.
- Yes, sir.
- Tell them there isn't a moment to lose here.
I've been waiting here a long time, Colonel.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to inform you of the supreme executive council's decision.
"At 2400 hours today, the colonel is hereby..."
"stripped of his command and rank..."
"and shall be placed under arrest."

Kindly accompany us now.
You really expect me to hand Neo Tokyo over to those fools at a time like this?
- Shoot him.
- Yes, sir.
What? No! Wait! Hold on! No!
Enough! Open your eyes and look at the big picture!

 It's utterly pointless to fight each other.
Announce a state of emergency, and arrest all members of the executive council.
Break their chain of command.
Lift off! We're going after Tetsuo.
Urgent message. Repeat, urgent.
To all district battalion commanders.
Yo! What's up? You're alone?
That's right. Weren't you in an accident?
Your friends have been really worried. You okay?
Give me some...capsules.
Huh? You sure you want capsules, son?
You look kinda woozy.
You better get 'em now.
All right.

In fact, they're hard to come by, so the price is pretty expensive, right?
Tetsuo's run off somewhere, Kaneda's disappeared.
Damn, I guess the team is finished.
And the checkpoints are so strict these days.
Even the Clowns are laying low.
Look!
He's dead!
What?
Who's that?
It's Tetsuo.
Why... Why are you here?
Look who's here. Wanna pop one?

What happened here?
Did you notice that the owner's dead?
An octopus out of water dies, huh?
Are you...Tetsuo...
- or someone else?
- Huh?
Kaneda sends his warmest regards.
You saw Kaneda?
He's probably dead by now.
You did this, didn't you?
All you're good for now is telling me where Kaneda's bike is.
Tetsuo!

Yamagata!
Goddamn it!
So is he off to find Akira?
Yes, that's what that girl was saying.
Now, the army, Ryu and yourself...
are all trying at once to find this Akira guy...
and that's also why you're chasing after Tetsuo.
It must have to do with the powers he's got.

I asked Ryu one time.
He told me that Akira is ultimate energy.
"Ultimate energy"?
Humans do all kinds of things during their lifetime, right?
Discover things......
Build things......
Things like houses, motorcycles...
bridges and cities, rockets......
So where do you suppose all that knowledge and energy comes from?
Humans were once like monkeys, right?
And before that, like reptiles...
and fish...
and even before that, plankton and amoebas.
Even little creatures like those have incredible amount of energy inside them.
Oh, yes... It's in the genes, right?
And even before that.
Maybe there was genetic material in the air and water...
even in the particles of dust in space.
And if that's the truth, then what sort of memories are hidden within them?
The beginning of the universe? Or maybe even before that.
 Are you sure you're okay?
Listen to yourself. Did you get bonked on the head back there?
And what if everyone shares those ancient memories?
What if there were some mistakes in the progression?
Then something goes wrong, like an amoeba is suddenly given...
the higher powers that a human has.
Akira is an amoeba then?
Amoebas don't build their own houses and bridges, do they?
They just devour all the food they can find around them.
Is that what Tetsuo's doing?
Are you saying he has that kind of energy?
Long ago...
there were people who tried to gain control of that power.
That is, all of the government's requests.
But they failed in their attempt, and it triggered the fall of Tokyo.
And that power is...
something that is totally beyond our......
Wha...!
The door's unlocked.
Huh?
It's a trap. This is just too good of a setup.
- Go back, then.
- No way.
I wanna find out how much of a trap it is, don't you?
By the way...
what's going on with you and that Ryu guy?
What in the world are you talking about?
- You're always together.
- That's none of your business.
No, wait. Hear me out.
What I'm saying is, he doesn't know about us, does he?
"About us"? Hey, wait a minute. What's that supposed to mean?
- Do you think it'll work?
- It can't be helped.
At this point in time, our only option left is to use her.
Well, the fact that, without us even looking...
she turned up right under our noses, says as much.
- What do you think?
- I guess so.
We have arrived at ward 13, East Ginza intersection. Over.
Northern district battalion has not responded to mobilization request!
Special search team to H.Q. Special search team to H.Q.
We're at the Harukiya bar near the highway interchange at ward 8.
It doesn't look like a bomb explosion to us, so we think it was him.
No, sir, it wasn't a gas explosion either.
It was almost certainly the work of the subject that escaped from the lab.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Understood.
Kaneda, wait!
What? Yamagata's dead?
Something seemed strange about him the second I saw his face.
It's odd. He was wearing what looked like a white hospital gown.
He acted like a different person.
Yamagata asked him if he was really Tetsuo...
or if he was someone else.
And then he... Yamagata! Why?
We've always been together.
I've known everything about him ever...
ever since we were in the children's home together.
They tease... Everybody tried to make him cry.
Oh. He really wanted to know where your bike was at.
Where my bike was?
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna go send Yamagata his wheels.

Kaneda!
Kei!
What's wrong?
That night. You were there.
Wait!
Kei!
They're gone!
You're the one, right? You changed my friend, didn't you?
The thing about Akira's power is...
it exists within everyone from the start.
Hey, who is that?
But when that power is awakened inside...
it is important to wisely choose how to use it.
When the time comes, you might not know it...
let alone be prepared for it.
Your friend has already made his choice.
Tetsuo is our newest companion.
He's our friend also.
His actions are out of control...
and for that we're partly to blame too.
Great! Then what in the hell did you take Kei for?
We're hoping she'll be able to help us in some way.
They're people, not toys! Bring her back to me!
And Tetsuo's our friend, not yours!

Hey!
Are you sure? Mr. Omi and the others have been arrested in the coup d'etat?
Yes, that's right. The house guards are fighting them right now.
Yes. I'd like to have a helicopter waiting. Yes.
 I can't believe he's taken up arms.
I've underestimated him.
Hold them here!
Mr. Nezu, I......
Oh! Ryu, is that you?
I came to apologize, sir.
The mission was a failure.
 I told you, you can't be seen here!
My two best men, they're dead.
Everyone was killed.
You bastard!
What?
Kei!
What?
Yeah, 7th avenue is just up ahead.
It intersects this road a hundred meters from here.
Battle stations!
Right! The subject has been spotted.
What? Attack the kid?
But, sir, he's just a boy! We can't attack him!
- Look! There he is!
- It's impossible.
Is this for real?
Fire range preparations are complete.
 Fire!
Is it Akira?
Look, it's Lord Akira!
Don't be fooled! This isn't the rapture!
He's a false messiah!
Long live Akira!
Fire!
- What the......
- What's wrong?
Coming to you live aboard news chopper 1 high over downtown.
Neo Tokyo broadcasting is exclusively covering the news today...
in spite of martial law, in the name of freedom of the press.
What in the world is happening here in Neo Tokyo?
What you see here seem to be fires caused by tank cannons.
But who is this boy standing alone? Is he fighting the coup d'etat forces by himself?
I'm sorry. We've been ordered to land.
The army has just illegally ordered us to land!
What is at stake here is freedom of the press! We've been ordered to...
- Did they just get cut off?
- Did they just get cut off? - What was that?
The bridge! He's heading for the bridge!
Are you sure you want to do this alone?
This is what he wants, isn't it?
At least give me time to get the gang together.
Hey, wait!
I wouldn't want to keep him waiting now, would I?
Hey, Kaneda, hold on!
Half of them seem to be antigovernment demonstrators. Thgie rest are......
They're more like some crazy cult than onlookers.
They're following after the subject, and more and more keep coming.
Flames of supreme purity...
rain down and raze the corrupt city...
and drown forever all the unclean believers of our time!
Give yourselves into the flame, children...
and all of you shall be reborn again!
Now consume our heart.
Wash our unclean hearts in the eternal fire!
Your body is going to be purified in the flames!
Ready!
- What?
- Fire!
Set the switch to hold for 3 seconds. Then converge your beams.
Aim, fire!
Watch this!
Look out! Let's get out of here!
Save me!
Ground forces. Ground forces, come in.
Report immediately. What is the subject's status?
Do you read?
Line to the doctor.
We have confirmation of his recent movements and are in pursuit.
His present position is...
coordinates 99871 by 4332.
That's about 2 kilometers south of the Olympic construction site...
in the old city.
What?
Where did that blast come from?
- Look!
- Huh?
That must be out over at the tollbooth being guarded by the second platoon.

Please turn around now. This area is off-limits to civilians.
Huh? What? That's the escaped subject? Stop!
Don't come any closer!
Nice place you have here, isn't it?

You shouldn't use your power in this way, for it is not correct.
What's that?
Because in the end, you won't be able to control it, and it will control you.
It's the kids talking. You're those brats, right?
Nice one!
What's going on?
It's not safe here, Colonel!
All right now. Next move.
Open now!

That is Akira before you, Tetsuo.
That's the Akira you wanted to meet!
There is your messiah, the chosen one that you've been looking for.
Not long after his transcendental awakening...
his organs and tissues were subjected to every test known to modern science.
He's dead. That's it.
What you see there is all that's left of him.
And all of the scientists back then...
were unable to solve the mystery...
so they decided to entrust all of their collected data and test samples...
to future generations by preserving them in frozen capsules and locking them away.
- SOL. We will use SOL.
- Huh?
Akira has been dead all this time.
Well, are you satisfied now, Tetsuo?
Now will you return with us?
Like hell!
Contact the central defense center...
and tell them to patch us through into SOL's main control circuits right away!
Hey, watch it, you jerk!
Move! Get out of the way! Move it!
What is this, a science classroom?
Huh?
What's wrong? Have some trouble?
Yeah, but I already took care of it.
 You missed the show.
Tetsuo, you had me worried again.

Kaneda.
You've been telling me what to do since we were kids!
You always treat me like a kid.
You always show up and start bossing me around, and don't you deny it!

- Kaneda!
- That's "Mister" Kaneda to you, punk!
Die!
Tetsuo!

Kei!

Let's do it!
Gotcha!
What?
Huh?
The damn battery's dead!
What's the matter now, Kaneda?

It ain't fair, Tetsuo! Fight with your bare hands!
Oh, this is funny!
Feeling frustrated, Kaneda?
Now do you understand how it feels being little and helpless?
Oh?
Where's this light coming from?
- Were we on target?
- Hard to tell. Too close to the impact point.
- The monitors are getting too much electrical...
- Prepare a second volley, now!
Hey!
Kaneda!
Tetsuo!
Shit!
What the......
Wh...!
Correcting error now on tracking system.
T minus 20...
 Are you okay?

- What's going on?
Kaneda!
Kai! Kei!
- Kaneda!
- Kaneda!
Get on!
- Where?
- Where? - Hurry!
What is that?
Reports say it's SOL.
Magnificent.
When Tetsuo's power reaches its peak...
is that what you're thinking?
That's when we do it. But will it really work?
We know the future doesn't necessarily proceed along a single course.
There ought to be a future we can choose. It's up to us to find it.
- What's Tetsuo's status, doctor?
- Colonel.
We set up a camera in the stadium if you want to check.
We have him under observation.
Colonel, you must take a look at this data. It's phenomenal!
We're still analyzing the energy given off by the subject, but it's just magnificent.
Oh, yes, wonderful.
Of course, this is clearly a proton collapse.
We're also detecting a fair number of what we believe to be unknown particles to science.
If we can put this into a theoretical framework...
then physics... quantum physics...
humanity itself could know the fundamental truths.
Uh... Uh... Well, you see...
we still haven't finished making our adjustments.
Wait, Colonel.
What the... The pattern!
You bastard! What did I tell you?
But, Colonel...
I couldn't throw away such a magnificent subject.

Oh! Oh, oh!
Quick! The battery!
Come on!
Hey, what's losing a bike or two, huh?
What? Then there's nothing wrong with using yours, right?
- I said that out loud, did I?
- Yeah, you did.
By the way, your bike's still on fire.
Huh? Oh, man! Oh!
Tetsuo?
Tetsuo, why is everyone calling you Akira? What does it mean?
It means nothing.
He never existed.
It doesn't matter who he is. They don't care.
Just so long as he destroys things.
What's that? Your arm! Look at it!
Well, it doesn't look like much, but it still works pretty good.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
It's nothing!
- Tetsuo, I just......
 Just go away!
Medicine.
What's wrong, Tetsuo? Are you in pain? Huh?
Go back to the lab and get that medicine.
Doctor, did you hear that?
- I did, Colonel.
-Well, any signs of it?
I can't be entirely certain here...
but it seems that the power which had been held back by the drugs is breaking free.
He may not be able to control the power that has awakened so suddenly!
He's in an extremely critical condition!
Come back to the lab and receive proper treatment.
If you don't, you may die.
You want me to enroll in your kindergarten and live happily ever after, huh?
Be quiet and do what you're told.
Take your medicine every day and end up all shriveled like those kids!
Kaori.
Fetch medicine, please.
No.
Stop, Tetsuo!
Tetsuo!
No, Tetsu...!
Kaneda!
Huh?
Son of a... Huh?
What are you three...doing here?
You didn't learn your lesson, did you?
Heads up, Tetsuo!
Takashi.
Akira's here.
Help, Kaneda! Help, please!
Kaori!
Please, help me!
Help me!
Let her go!
Kaori. Kaori. Kaori!
Tetsuo, are you there?
Kaori!
What? What did you say?
My body's not doing what I tell it to.
My power's acting on its own. Kaori!
Kaori's dying.
Kaneda, help me!
Stop this, Tetsuo! Stop it now!
Kaori's pain is coming into me.
Tetsuo!
Kaneda, run away!
Tetsuo!
Kiyoko, Takashi, Masaru! Hurry! Get away from here!
Come on!
I can't believe it. It's as if......
Kiyoko! Taka......
Hi.
Akira.
Oh, no! That's the......
But that's impossible!
Where am I?
Hurry. Get into the tunnel. You'll be safe in there.
Kiyoko, where are you?
Oh......
Tetsuo!
Kaneda!
Hang on!
- Hurry! You've got to get out of here!
- Out of the way!
- Tetsuo!
- Don't go near it!
No, don't! Wait, Takashi!
If you went in now, you'd be trapped along with him.
But he... None of this is his fault at all.
- Takashi!
- Takashi!
If we went in there...
we wouldn't be strong enough to come back out again.
But if the three of us tried...
maybe we could save that boy.
You're right. Us three together.
Look at that. We should get out of here now! Hey!
Kaneda's in there.
You see that? You're not revving your engine enough already.
When you go into a corner, lean in suicidally. Got it? Now watch.

- Cornering, man.
You got it, Tetsuo?
Hey, look! They brought another kid! Is he a transfer student?
- His mom and dad left him.
- You can see it in his face.
Are these... Are these all of your dreams and memories, Tetsuo?
Uh, wait.
Is this Akira?
Yes. We called him here to the three of us.
He's going to take Tetsuo with him.
Take him where? Where?
It's too much for Tetsuo...
and for the three of us also and for Akira too.
It's way too big for us, as we are now.
But someday we ought to be able to......
Because it has already begun.
Your friend, she's......
My friend?
Kei! It's Kei you're talking about!
Tetsuo.
This is yours, right?
They're always like that with the new kids.
Hey, you came today, right?
They beat me up too, but the truth is, those guys are wimps.
My name is... Tetsuo.
Tetsuo Shima.
The truth is, I just got here myself.
My name is......
Kaneda. Kaneda.
- Kaneda!
- Kei.
What in the world is happening? What's this?
No, this isn't......
If this is correct, it's showing that this is the birth of the universe.
Kei!
What's going on here?
Disappearing. It's disappearing.
Kaneda, can you hear me?
Tetsuo.
Kaneda, what is it?
Thank you.
Huh?
You called me, didn't you, and I heard you.
Kaneda! Oh, my!
Where's Tetsuo?
He just left.
Those kids did too. Akira also.
Kaneda, back then... Oh, did you just...
Kaneda!
You're alive!
I thought...
I thought you were in there for sure.
Tetsuo! What happened to Tetsuo?
Is he dead?
I'm not sure.
Something... Oh!
But someday we ought to be able to......
Because it has already begun.

Tuscany RDB DAS Database Setup Utility
This utility provides a jar file to be used by RDB DAS sample
applications (web or standalone) to do database setup. So far the
samples provided canned pre-created Derby database with tables and data.
There was no convenient way to refresh table data during the samples
execution. This utility supports Derby database at present and uses a
config file to get the setup information.
APIs
public DBInitializer() – uses default provided ConfigFile CannedSampleDBConfig.xml
public DBInitializer(String ConfigFileLocation)
public DBInitializer (InputStream ConfigFileStream)
public void initializeDatabase(boolean clean) - Create database tables and fill data. If clean=true, all tables will be dropped and recreated.
public void initializeDatabaseData(boolean clean) - create database data (with clean=true, if a table has pre-existing data, it will be deleted first)
public void refreshDatabaseData() – calls initializeDatabase(clean=true)
public boolean isDatabaseReady() - will return true, if the tables exist in the database
public boolean isDatabasePopulated() - will return true, if the tables have data
Assumptions:

 element lists tables in proper sequence, i.e. parent tables
first and then child tables. This sequence will be used in
create,insert,delete,drop to take care of referential integrity. The
config file required by utility supports the following features through
different attributes and elements. Sample xml file is shown at the end.
<ConnectionInfo>
This element provides connection specific information - like vendor
specific database URL, user name, password etc. If the DataSource is
provided by the web container, user needs to only fill dataSource
attribute in this. In case of standalone J2SE samples, user needs to
fill ConnectionProperties element inside ConnectionInfo. These two ways
of connection specification are mutually exclusive.

This element needs to specify the table names required by the
sample. Only these tables will be considered for creation, data

'Five Easy Pieces' (1970)
A retrospective movie review by Walter Frith
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Member of the ‘Online Film Critics Society' http://ofcs.org/ofcs/
I guess Jack Nicholson must be good friends with director Bob Rafelson. As a director, Rafelson has made only 12 movies in 31 years and six of them have been with Jack and with the exception of 1997's 'Blood and Wine', I never really liked anything made by Rafelson and his films with Jack, aside from 'Blood and Wine' are 'Head' (1968), 'The King of Marvin Gardens' (1972), the remake of 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' (1981), 'Man Trouble' (1992) and, alas, 'Five Easy Pieces'.
I know this film has been hailed by people everywhere since it came out but the film just flat out did not draw me in. I didn't care about the people involved. It's clearly the type of film that needs a good music score and hardly has any score at all and no one in the cast seems to stand out besides Nicholson. What is remarkably disappointing about 'Five Easy Pieces' is the fact that the film is alarmingly flat. It has no zest and its only good point, as mentioned, is the commendable performance by Nicholson. As a confused young man with the gift of musical genius bottled up inside him, Nicholson gives a commanding performance that brought him his first Best Actor Oscar nomination. He lost the award to George C. Scott in 'Patton' but it remains the film that launched Nicholson's career and he would receive two other Oscar nominations ('The Last Detail', and 'Chinatown') before winning the prize in 1975 for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.
'Five Easy Pieces' is an enigma in the way it displays Nicholson's character and I did enjoy, somewhat, the way the film built itself up by revealing many traits of Nicholson's genius before we discover the family from hell that he left behind a long time ago. A recent survey of people across America in 1998 revealed that 71 per cent of them had started a new job within the last three years. The average person will change careers 10 times in their life and that number will probably grow as the faster the world will continue to turn faster and faster.
Nicholson's character is one with no focus. He resides with his live-in girlfriend (Karen Black), and their relationship is rather rocky and Nicholson wants to abandon the responsibility of marrying her like many of the other responsibilities he ran away from in his life. We discover that Nicholson had a gift for being a great pianist but gave it all up to work on an oil rig where he hates his boss and spars with his friend who is later dragged off by the authorities on suspicion of robbery.  The most powerful scene in the film is the one where Nicholson explains to his father, who is confined to a wheelchair and can't speak, that he regretted abandoning the family after seeing how his father ended up.
In many ways 'Five Easy Pieces' reminded me more of a television movie than a big screen motion picture. This is the film that made Jack famous with his infamous "chicken salad sandwich speech" where he puts a waitress in her place when she refuses to bring him what he wants as she quips that it isn't on the menu. I think this is another example of a potentially great film made only average by an average director and while I feel it is only average, I can understand why others hail it as great---especially those fond of character studies.

Entropass generates site passwords on the fly using a hashing algorithm based on your master passphrase, private key file, and the domain of the site. The private key is saved in your browser, and the domain is automatically populated, so all you have to do is type in your master passphrase each time you login to a site.
Everyone is free to use the Entropass password generation algorithm in their commercial or non-commercial software. It is based entirely on standardized cryptographic technologies that are commonly available in libraries across many languages. This is the pseudocode for the core algorithm:
secret = passphrase + resetCount + sha512(privateKey)
password = b85encode(pbkdf2_hmac('sha512', secret, salt=domain, rounds=100))
The full Python implemenation is just 13 lines of code with no dependencies and is available here.
You can increment the reset count to generate a new password for that site.
You can use any file as a private key, as long as it has never been sent over the internet or shared with anyone else. For example, you could take a picture of yourself or just type a lot of random characters into a text document. Another option is to write a simple program and use the program's output as your private key. The advantage of this is that you can reconstruct your private key if you ever lose all copies of it, as long as you remember how to write the program.
