Rainbow (ＲＡＩＮＢＯＷ 二舎六房の七人)

I wonder...

what they're doing right now.

There were seven men who survived through rather grand days...

at the bottom of the cauldron of Hell, inside a cell, fifty years ago.

The things that supported them...

were courage, guts, and their bond.

They placed their hopes upon the seven-colored rainbow and swore to survive.

You can't make out the text anymore,

but the dream which they held

was undoubtedly carved in this tree.

July, 1955

How is it?

Does it taste good?

Really?

She likes it!

Pardon us!

Aren't they criminals?

They're criminals!

This is blasphemy.

This is a public bus for God's sake.

Look away, Hana.

My doll!

He even tried to steal from a kid?!

Have they no shame?

Really...

Thank you very much!

Hey, you!

What the hell were you thinking?

You bastards have no right even to touch another person's belongings!

Ten years after Japan lost the war, the nation was still in poverty,

and the ones who were affected the most by the war the adults waged...

Sign: Shonan Special Disciplinary School

were those without power, like seniors, women, and children.

With empty stomachs and scarred hearts, the six youngsters were placed in a special disciplinary school.

The sight was as though...

fallen leaves were being swallowed up into a whirlpool.

Take a bow!

These are the six new guys.

Dr. Sasaki, if you will!

I'm Sasaki, the doctor in charge.

First and foremost, you must be wary of your health here.

I'll be performing an inspection right now...

to see if you have hemorrhoids or parasites, not to mention if you're hiding any weapons.

Is that okay?

Don't worry.

It won't take long.

Now...

Let's start with you, big guy.

Wow, I'm quite surprised.

I didn't know you maggots could actually feel shame.

Hey!

Move! You fucking fat-ass!

Please, that's enough, Inspector Ishihara.

I cannot allow you to harm these precious children.

Now, next...

You, with the blue eyes.

You're next.

Subjected to a sham inspection, the youngsters had no way to refuse,

and had a glass rod driven up their anuses.

After such treatment, none of them could maintain their resolve,

and they were stripped of the will to resist.

At the time, they must have been going through something unfathomable.

However...

this was only their beginning at the bottom of the cauldron of Hell.

COMPOUND TWO, CELL SIX

Ask the guy already in there about what will happen now.

Got it?

So...

what do we need to do?

Hey, old-timer.

Why don't you introduce yourself instead of showing us your back?

I don't speak with kids or monkeys.

Say that again?!

You're all just fucking kids full of pride, even though you've already fallen so low.

Or...

are you indeed just monkeys?

You better shut that mouth.

What about you?

Aren't you also a shithead who's fallen so low?

Well?

Then as fellow shitheads, no one would mind any of us killing each other, right?

Do you even realize the situation, old-timer?

There's no way in hell you could win against the six of us!

What's so funny, bastard?!

True.

No matter how many of you shitheads die, no one's gonna give a damn.

Dammit...

You morons...

seem to need a good fight to learn a thing or two.

Come and get me.

Is he... a boxer?

A boxer?

So what?

I won't...

by any means...

be underestimated anymore!

What's wrong?

You scared?

I'll fucking kill you!
