Flashpoint

Okay, that's my third kill...

Give me a sonar ping!

On it.

I see you!

You idiot, that was a civilian!

You need to cut that out.

How many civilians have you killed?

They shouldn't just be idling around here.

You're not getting away!

Stop running...

Where'd he go?

Sonar ping him again?

Nah, he's probably hidden already.

Damn it.

You guys're shit.

Watch this.

Wow...

He made that look easy!

Thanks for the win, sucker.

I really am unbeatable.

I embraced the final plotline

though I had no goals and wandered aimlessly

I'm one with my new world

The game has only just begun

These are the eyes of the beginning

Tomorrow will only bring a new game

It's time to learn that pain is gain

Ready? Fight!

Ready? Fight!

To blot out the failures of my past

I sacrificed my future

Until they carry me to the grave

I will fight against the fate that haunts me

I will fight against the fate that haunts me

Yeah, I'll break out and start a revolution

There's only one question I need an answer for

There's only one question I need an answer for

I'm racing with others for the outer limits

I know this is my only chance

I'll overcome the fate I'm burdened with

Woohoo! You kidding me?!

Twenty wins in a row!

That was a piece of cake, eh, Sakamoto?

You're one to talk.

I practically carried the team.

Wow, you have four stars now!

You're ranked tenth in the entire world!

There isn't a Japanese BTOOOM! player who measures up to me.

We'll have to start playing stronger opponents outside Japan, or my rank won't increase.

New challenger!

Looks like someone must've heard you.

Whoa, he's ranked second in the world!

What should we do?

Accept, what else?

Here we go! Let's reach #1!

BTOOOM!

This game's sold over three million copies worldwide.

It doesn't use guns,

only bombs.

An Interview with Tyrannos Japan

An Interview with Tyrannos Japan

You use eight types of bombs, or BIMs, as the situation dictates,

and use sonar to find enemies while remaining out of their sight.

That's how you win this game.

BTOOOM!

Wow, Sakamoto...

We're keeping up with #2!

That's right.

We're going to become #1 in the world.

I'm twenty-two, and I still don't have a job.

I bum around at home all day.

But in the world of BTOOOM!,

My strength is second to none,

my greatness is recognized,

and I am truly peerless.

I even got married.

Only within the game's virtual world, of course.

I was content.

Here, in this wonderful place.

It never dawned on me that I was just using this as an outlet.

Where am I?

My whole body hurts...

Why?

A parachute?

Why?

Crap, I can't get down.

Hello?!

Is anyone there?!

What the hell is this?

Ow...

What is this place?

I don't know.

What am I doing here?

Why can't I remember anything?

Wasn't I... just playing BTOOOM! in my room?

And then...

Blood?

What the hell happened and why can't I remember it?

My phone...

Wha—

The hell is this?

G-Glass?

Is it embedded in my skin?

I can feel it, but it doesn't hurt or feel wrong.

I haven't been abducted by aliens or anything, have I?

My bag!

My wallet's here.

And a change of clothes...

Was I going to spend the night somewhere?

What's this?

A convenience store bag.

A boxed lunch and...

Tons o' Tea

Perfect!

I should probably get my bearings first.

It's hot!

Seems like I'm pretty far south...

I'd better save this.

That was a big-ass bug...

Is this really a tropical forest?

This isn't good...

Give me a break.

What did I do?

What...

O-Ow...

Where am I?

Where the fuck am I?!

Mom!

You sent my résumé to the grocery store, didn't you?

I won't work there.
