SAKAMOTO DAYS

You know,

they say that torii gates are the front door of a god's home.

Imagine you get home after a mission

and find your front door in shambles.

How sad would that be?

But you were busy eating katsudon.

Because I was finishing your leftovers.

Hello?

Hey. How's it going, Shishiba?

Nagumo. Are you eating something?

I'm at work. It's my break.

You've got a side-gig?

Did you see the list the inmates had?

Check out the last page.

One moment.

So this was Slur's plan all along...

DUMP SAW

He meant to have the inmates kill each other in the end.

MINIMALIST

Now that's twisted... And practical, I suppose.

Actually,

I think they were meant to drag it out.

What are you saying?

This is turning out to be a real pain.

MIKAN

ROUND AND ROUND THE TOWER

What's that?

Incredible...

This is the longest connection I've had!

You're the first...

Will you...

listen to what I have to say?

Sorry.

I don't have the time to listen to you blabber.

What a cold-blooded man.

Got it wound up.

Hey.

Do you remember the first time you connected with the world?

What are you talking about?

You know, the first time you felt like you weren't alone in this world.

I remember it clearly.

I didn't get along well with the other kids.

I got it!

You suck.

I'm home.

My mom didn't care about me.

We barely ever talked to each other.

I don't even remember her voice.

But...

Hey, now, Apart!

What's the matter? You're all down in the dumps.

Did you eat a pickle by accident?

My dad was the only one who was kind to me.

He was always busy with work, so I didn't see him much,

but I liked my dad.

Listen to me, Apart.

With people, it's what's on the inside that matters.

Just be honest and kind to your friends.

I'm sure everyone will realize how great you are.

You're a good kid, Apart.

But first, you need some practice!

Here. I got you something.

Hi, Apart!

Will you be my friend?

Um...

Can I play with...

Who the heck are you?

What a creep.

I don't get it.

Why won't they play with me?

Who the heck are you?

Dad! Welcome home.

Dad, guess what! I...

I'm sorry, Apart.

It's gonna be okay.

Tomorrow, we'll go to the doctor together.

There's nothing wrong with him. He's the picture of health.

We didn't find any tumors or anything.

Nothing... wrong...?

That can't be true.

So, what?

Are you telling me

that there's nothing wrong with my son,

that he just tore an animal apart because he wanted to?

Well, uh...

Are you insinuating

that he was born a monster?!

Dad!

Get away from me!

You creep me out.

What the hell are you?

I'm...

I'm not a monster!

Wow...

Look, Dad! Your brain looks just like mine!

We're just the same on the inside!

Thank goodness.

I'm...

connected with everyone after all.

That was the first time I ever thought,

"Oh, I'm not alone."

"I'm human, just like everyone else."

This is how I confirm my connection with others.

So if you don't mind, I'd like to see inside you too.

You're wrong.

When you kill someone, all you're doing is severing that connection.

You need to stop hurting people.

How dare you. You can't dismiss my way of life.

I can't believe how inconsiderate you are.

Hey, is the tower tipping over?

Hey, we're tipping over!

Wow!

It's like a slide!

That does it.

After I kill you and take you apart,

I'll leave your body parts unorganized.

You don't have the right to talk about human connection.

This ends here.

What?

Wait a second...

Does the tower look like it's leaning?

That can't be good, right?

This is not good, Taro!

This is bad.

I'm so excited.

I'll get to connect with all these people!

I bet my dad would be so proud if he found out about this.

Power lines...

Good thing I'm heavy.

It stopped...

Should we head down while we can?

My head is spinning.

I was in the middle of talking.

It's rude to walk away.

Time for you to show me what's on the inside.

What do I do?

What's that?

What is going on?!

It looked like it was going to fall down, but did it stop?

It did stop, but... it looks kind of weird now.

Did Taro do that?!

Why?

That threatening aura... Could it be?

Hey, Gramps! You done in the bathroom already?

Did you hear that huge noise just now?

Anyway, this is my chance.

I'll make him feel my weight.

So heavy!

Damn you!

Why won't you let me connect with you?!

Why am I the only one...

I'm human, just like everyone else!

So why?!

Why is it so hard for me to live in this world?!

You have the choice to change how you live your life.

So...
