Deadman Wonderland (デッドマン・ワンダーランド)

Boy or girl, young or old...

Here, everyone's wildest dreams roam free.

That's the magic, the thrill... of Deadman Wonderland!

Morning, Ganta.

Huh...?

Oh hey, Mimi.

Breakfast in class again, huh?

Where's your shadow?

No idea.

Whatcha lookin' at anyway?

Oh...

I was just kinda digging some stuff up online

about the whole prison-tour field trip thing.

Oh yeah...? Are you as stoked about it as I am?

I mean, the place is supposed to be

tricked out like an amusement park!

I know...

Just cheap they're not taking us somewhere farther.

But Tokyo's nostalgic... Don't you think so?

If you say so, I guess...

It's been ten years since I was there...

I don't really remember much.

He's got a point...

We were all kids...

The place could be totally different and we'd never know.

Hey Yamakatsu, what's up?

Thanks a lot for skippin' out on me, doofus.

It's not my fault if someone sleeps like a freakin' log.

You're killing me...

Yesterday the shoe was on the other foot.

How far you gonna take this?

There wouldn't be a shoe

if the genius hadn't lost my save data.

You weren't even past level seven!

Yeah... So...

The fieldtrip, right...?

Great idea... That'll fly.

Lot of folks think "Tokyo," they still think the Red Hole.

Not everybody who survived it

has Ganta's knack for selective memory.

Oh, come on!

Not this crap again!

Chill out, guys...

Does it matter where they take us?

Seriously...

We're less than two weeks out from entrance exams...

The name of the game is distraction.

Well, I'm down for it if you are...

Anything to get us out of here, I guess.

We lived it up at that lame, old water park last year.

Where we go doesn't matter,

let's just make the best of it okay?

Sure.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS: "Westminster Quarters"]

Huh?

That song...

I've heard it before...

I know I have--

How is he...?

We... We're on the third floor!

Whoa! What the hell?!

What just happened?

Is this a... nightmare?

Hey, Mimi. You okay?

Kishi!

Oh god... Please, no...

Would your name be Ganta Igarashi?

Yeah...

We have a few questions for you.

I'm afraid... you'll need to come with us.

Huh?

Reports indicate that of the thirty

middle school students known to have been in the classroom

at the time of the killing,

a staggering twenty-nine were slain.

"...an inside job."

That's what police are calling it.

And indeed as of this afternoon

the massacre's sole survivor has been formally charged.

This... cannot be real.

Court appointed attorney coming through, gentlemen.

A pleasure.

What...?

No... Listen...

Please, guys... You have to believe me!

I saw him...!

It's the man in red; he's the one you want!

Hold on...

I can prove it; he got me.

Huh?!

Where did it go? It was...

Oh, you poor traumatized child...

You've been through so much.

No one's going to hurt you anymore, son.

Listen... I didn't do this!

Of course not...

And I'm going to do everything within my power

to ensure the judges know that.

Upon careful consideration of the evidence...

Unprecedented though it may be...

...I fear...

...the only recourse that we have...

...is capital punishment.

This isn't real... It can't be...

I'm a kid... I'm innocent...

Why is this happening to me?

Screw all of you!

What the hell's going on?!

Why won't any of you people listen to me?!

Take your fucking hands off me!

Kill him! Kill him!

They were my friends, I wouldn't--

Look, I... Mimi was...

Don't you say her name...

Don't you ever say her name!

...startling new footage.

I'm innocent... I swear it...

'Course I'm gonna walk. Think about it.

No one's gonna buy a middle school kid

being behind something this horrific...

Who's the lawyer here? Shit...

'Sides, I'm just a baby;

they couldn't throw the book at me if they wanted to.

Am I right?

Huh... Who in the hell is that?

It didn't really matter to me who it was...

But it's more fun carving up people

whose faces you gotta look at every day... Heh....

'Specially the stuck-up lil' whores...

I couldn't resist seein' for myself whether

their cunts were as full of shit as their assholes.

Know what I mean?

And... You know...

Figured if I'm gonna do any I might as well do 'em all...

Kinda like passing out handmade birthday party invitations...

Yeah, yeah. The weapon... c'mon...

Thought we've been through this already...

When I hear them say "innocent"

I'll show you where it's hidden...

Heh... Call it my god-given right

for being the cleverest guy in the room.

I treated you like my flesh and blood

for the better part of ten years...

I didn't... do this...

I keep telling you...

Why...?

Why did you take my little girl?!

Listen to me... please...

Let go of me! I have rights!

The little son of a bitch owes me an answer!

Sorry about that...

I really should've been more cautious.

What?

If I'd known someone was filming the two of us,

I would have tried to reign in your gloating.

But... but you know that wasn't me!

Well, there's no point in our filing

for an appeal now, I suppose...

No judge worth their salt would ever grant you one.

No, hold on...! Mr. Tamaki...!

Mr. Tamaki!

Come back!

This is a nightmare... It's got to be.

He's here.

Ganta...

Deadman Wonderland...

Built at the epicenter of the sinkhole

that engulfed Tokyo a decade ago;

an incident popularly known as The Red Hole.

Welcome to the first and only

privately owned corrections facility in Japan,

where inmates pay their debt to society

by lubricating the tourist trade.

I am Makina, the chief warden here.

And you're Ganta Igarashi, aren't you?

You look a lot softer than I'd expect someone like you to...

Don't think sheep's clothing will charm anyone
