Demon City Shinjuku (魔界都市＜新宿＞)

So... What do you think of my incredible power?

The demon void is blessing me... I am their chosen one!

I have exceeded you, Genichirou.

DIE!

My lord! Wait for me 10 years...

I shall prepare a suitable hell for you to claim...

A hell upon this very earth! Wait for it with pleasure!

In 10 years time, we shall meet again!

The mysterious earthquake, dubbed the "Devil Shake"...

...which destroyed the Shinjuku area of central Tokyo...

...while leaving the surrounding neighborhoods untouched...

...continues to baffle the world's seismologists.

But since that disaster...

...unusual incidents in that area have become the order of the day.

"DEMON CITY SHINJUKU"

"10 Years Later"

And history is about to be made, ladies and gentlemen.

The man who, upon taking office as World Federation president...

...5 years ago at the age of 35 almost immediately achieved a...

...total ban on nuclear weapons between the East and West...

...and then repeated that success by realizing a working...

...peace plan between Israel and the New Arab League.

President Kozumi Rama, called by many the modern messiah...

...is arriving in Tokyo!

Touchdown! The president has landed safely.

History is made!

Touchdown...

Ow!

Pervert!

The crowd that's showed up here is wild with enthusiasm.

What a fuss. He someone important?

A little more important than you, Kyoya.

We should be seeing him any minute now.

This modern saint who's brought happiness to all humanity.

I'd be satisfied just bringing happiness to one girl at a time.

There he is! He's descending the stairs with his daughter, Sayaka.

Her coming with him for his first visit here is an additional honor.

Whatta babe!

A good-looking girl always gets your interest, doesn't it?

Oh well, that's one girl you won't be bringing any happiness to.

And now Miss Universe is presenting him with a bouquet...

Don't take it...

DON'T TAKE IT!

Okay, that's all!

You lack sophistication, Kyoya Izayoi.

You're hotheaded as well. Be more observant!

I think you're haunting the wrong guy, spook.

The art of Nempo teaches you to study human thought.

It allows you to tap your own spiritual energy to use as...

...an almost miraculous power.

The power comes from the life energy which flows...

...between all living things in the cosmos.

Know that as the source of the flow.

Who are you?!

I assumed your father had taught you this.

You are far behind in your studies.

I am Ag'ni Rai. I was trainer to your father, Genichirou.

My father's...

Genichirou pursued his quest for Nempo with me.

I was led to believe he would pass the art to his son.

Well, he couldn't. He disappeared before he could teach me much.

I've been studying it on my own since then.

I see. If Genichirou were still alive, then perhaps you...

He's dead? My father?

He died 10 years ago, trying to save this world.

Stop rambling and start talking sense!

I speak the truth. His opponent was a man named Rebi Ra.

He and Genichirou were both students of mine.

They eventually exceeded even my command of Nempo.

I believe they finally achieved a unification...

...of their spirits with the cosmic flow.

But Rebi Ra was jealous of your father's superior skills...

...and sold his soul to the forces of evil in order to surpass him.

He then took on the powers of darkness.

It was a foolish act.

The creature who possessed Ra has a horrible plan...

...to destroy our entire world.

Your father fought to stop him.

He couldn't completely defeat Ra's dark powers...

And so, a single city fell into his power.

Demon City... Shinjuku!

Exactly.

God, to think Dad was involved in something like that.

In 3 days, Rebi Ra will again try to summon the evil to this world.

Look for him in Demon City.

You are the only one who can possibly defeat him!

Kyoya Izayoi, follow your father's path and fulfill his dying wish!

And why should I believe any of what you've just told me?

You little--!

I'm not actually here.

My body is elsewhere, protecting the Federation president.

There I must remain.

I saw him on TV. Is he still alive?

Rebi Ra did it to restrict my movements.

I had no other choice but to come to you.

I think I believe you...

You may equal Genichirou's raw skill in Nempo.

No kidding? You're pretty observant, Pops.

But you still don't know how to use it.

I see nothing but defeat for you if you challenge Ra.

Wh- WHAT?!

How can you fight a stronger opponent?

How do we know he's stronger unless I try?

No. As you are now, I cannot see victory.

You're pretty frank, suddenly. That's not how you ask for favors.

I merely speak the truth.

Have your way. Offer refused.

I'm just not the world-saving type. I'm not my father!

I can see that. A true hero doesn't abandon a person in need.

Genichirou was a true hero, and you definitely aren't him!

Fine. If you see this Ra guy, tell him to come here.

I'll take him on anytime he wants.

Kyoya Izayoi?

You are Kyoya Izayoi? I'm Sayaka Rama.

Please, help save my father.

You're even prettier in person.

Master Rai says you're the only one who can fight Rebi Ra.

Please, help us!

But he said I couldn't do it.

Rebi Ra will destroy everyone. Somebody has to stop him!

Oh man...

Go to Demon City... You're our last hope.

Hold on! I'm just an ordinary high school student.

But he said you know Nempo...

I barely know it.

If my dad couldn't beat him, I sure as hell can't.

I'll go with you.

Oh, get real.

If you go into Demon City, you won't be coming back alive.

Jesus, don't you know anything?

I know how bad they say it is, but... but...

I can be brave!

Just stop it. I know how you want to help your dad...

...but this guy Ra is just too much!

I'm begging you! Try to be brave!

You can't beat him with just guts and bravery. Sorry...

Forgive me. I shouldn't have come to you like this.

Good-bye.

Hey! Wait a minute!

You're not going in there alone, are you?

Don't concern yourself with me. I'm fast on my feet.

Fast on your...?

Good-bye.

I don't believe this...

"COMMONWEALTH OFFICE, JAPAN BRANCH"

Master...

Forget me and go to Demon City.

I can't allow you to die. My only concern is to protect you.

But you're the only one who can stop Rebi Ra's plans.

Perhaps. But you, the man who is leading the world to true peace...

...must not be allowed to die.

Even if Ra is somehow defeated, losing you would...

...doom the world to repeat it's miserable past.

There is one we may hope in.

I'm gambling he can pull it off.

He's still young and unsure of himself, but...

He may yet fulfill the destiny to which he was born.

"YOTSUYA"

Excuse me?

Excuse me, do you know where I can find a man named Rebi Ra?

Never mind...

I know 'im.

I wish to see him.

Follow me.

You really know Rebi Ra?

Sure. He's my little brother. I'll call him for you.

What's wrong?

Stupid girl...

Stay back, or else I'll have to hurt you.

Dangerous little gadget you've got there.

But it won't be much use against me.

Stop it!

Leave her alone!

Kyoya!

Whaddaya know, a knight in shining armor.

Hope my trembling doesn't make me look too bad.

Trembling? That's just from your drinking too much, buddy.

Take him!

That Magnum won't be much use against me.

Sobered up yet, pal?

So tell us where to find Rebi Ra.

I dunno...

Wait! There's an old woman who sells info at the Kabuki theater.

Anything that happens in this town, she'll know about it.

Thank you.

Thank you. I knew you'd come.

Oh, spare me! Do you realize you almost got yourself killed?!

I'm sorry.

I told you this was no place for you.

Help me!

Rebi Ra?

I hear you know what's up in this town.

For a price. You got cash?

Yes...

This is all we have.

Put it in.

Come on, put it in! All of it!

Hold on a minute, I'll bring you a map.

Now go home and let me handle it from here.

I can't. Please let me help save my father!
