Easy, little guy.

What's he doing?

You wanna live?

I'm just

I wanna die in here.

Yeah?

I get it.

Thank you for this meal.

LIFE IN THE WOODS

BY HENRY DAVID THOREAU

It's so beautiful.

Yes.

Dad

Let's say there really was a God.

What would you ask for?

Aah

Hmm

That there would be

more mountains for us to climb!

Where no human being has ever been.

Please, dear God!

You're crazy.

Mountains like that don't exist

in the world today, Yuzuha.

Your turn, now.

I want this moment to last forever!

A mountaintop

is where I

A mountaintop is

where I can really be myself.

Dad, you are the only one

who makes me believe

that I have a place in this world.

I wanna live this moment forever.

You'd get bored.

That's his daughter!

- There she is!

- Ms. Usagi! Ms. Usagi!

- I just wanna ask you

- Did he actually climb Mount Everest?

Is it true that your father didn't

actually make the climb

that he said he did?

Please Ms. Usagi, Ms. Usagi, over here!

Please comment, please!

Welcome home.

Dad.

Don't you worry.

I don't know who's spreading these lies,

but I've always told you the truth.

Where are you going?

To the mountain.

Dad, wait.

The mountain

is where I can really be myself.

STAGED?

SOLO NO-OXYGEN MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

SUSPECTED TO BE STAGED

HE USED AN OXYGEN SUPPLEMEN

IT WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE

IN THE FIRST PLACE

DID USAGI STAGE THE ENTIRE EVENT?

550-STRONG SEARCH PARTY

WORLD-FAMOUS MOUNTAINEER MISSING

COMMIT su1c1de

DUE TO SUSPICIONS

ON STAGED MOUNTAIN CLIMBING?

su1c1de

Thank you for the meal.

Why did you save me?

Your body says, "I want to live."

My body?

Might say it wants to live

But I don't deserve to live anymore.

They're all dead.

And I'm the only one still alive.

They all had to die so I could survive.

I might as well have been the one

who k*lled them all.

I k*lled them all.

I don't deserve to live.

Not after I let them all die.

I have to die.

I have to die.

I have to die!

I have to die to be with them.

I need to die!

I need to make it up to all of them!

I need to make amends

for everything I've done!

Why?

Why?

I

I'm hungry.

I understand.

There was a time I wanted to die too.

Just like you do.

I was just laying on the ground.

And I started feeling hungry.

I know one day, I will die.

And it could be

when we're playing the game tomorrow

or when my visa expires.

But for now, I made that food.

So eat it while you're still alive.

Get ready.

You've got a game to play.

Are you planning to die

by having your visa expire?

That time you screamed at all of us.

During the tag game

You risked your life

trying to save everyone.

- Everyone!

- Hey!

He's up here! Over here,

he's on the second level!

Tell us where he is if you see him!

And let's all look for the symbol!

I didn't wanna die then.

And I didn't want anyone else too, either.

I know what you're saying.

And I don't want you to die now.

If you hadn't screamed back there,

I'd be dead now.

Let me repay you.

THIS WAY TO THE GAME ARENA

THIS WAY TO THE GAME ARENA

THE GAME ARENA IS UP AHEAD

THIS WAY TO THE GAME ARENA

1 PER PERSON

FACE RECOGNITION IN PROGRESS

PLEASE WAIT FOR A MOMEN

You're not newbies.

And who are you?

We're the guys

who cleared four games together.

We met at the first game

and now we work together as a team.

But we might need more

if we're gonna clear this one.

And your leg? Are you hurt?

Ah I tweaked it a bit.

In the game?

Yeah.

Okay, the game's starting.

Registration is now closed.

The game is about to commence.

Difficulty, Four of Clubs.

There are a total of five participants.

Game, "Distance".

"Distance"?

Rule. Endure the trial

while striving for the goal

within the time limit.

Clear condition.

Safely attain the goal.

What is this?

The game will now commence.

120 minutes remaining.

Does this mean we have to run?

What do you think, Seizan?

"Distance"?

Zero.

We have to run? On the highway?

Uh, run?

Takuma. Just relax.

Sit down, sit down.

I think these old buses

from the '70s all have V8 engines.

Let's hope it starts.

Come on, baby!

sh*t! It's out of gas.

Looks like we have to run.

Go on. Leave me here.

- Takuma!

- Listen to me.

I don't plan to just sit on my ass here,

roll over, and die.

I'm gonna try to find a way to survive.

But you gotta go.

- We're not leaving you behind!

- Yamane!

You gotta survive, so go now!

You wanna see your wife again, right?

And what about that baby she's carrying?

What the hell are they supposed to do

without you?

Don't worry about me. I got this.

Yamane.

Let's go.

Go on.

Now.

You can do this.

Let's go.

Let's go.

He made the right choice.

110 minutes remaining.

Arisu.

Live for us.

Thank you.

Distance, 1,000.

90 minutes remaining.

To reach the goal,

how much further do we have to run?

Distance, 5,000.

Hey.

What's that?

REPLENISHMENT STATION

We made it.

Wait.

- Hang on a sec.

- Eh?

You're waiting for us to drink it,

aren't you?

No, we're not.

Drink this.

Thank you.

That was great.

Are you sure?

Uh-huh.

Distance, 6,000.

Man, it's dark in here.

sh*t, this isn't Clubs.

It's gotta be a game of Spades.

Something's over there.

I don't see anything.

Yeah. Right there.

Run!

Oh my god, oh my god. Help me!

Help!

No! Get off!

Seizan!

- Let's go!

- Come on!

Get off!

Seizan! Seizan!

- I can't run anymore.

- Come on!

I'm done.

I can't.

I'd only been with them

for about a week, but

it's like I knew them both

for my entire life.

You gotta live.

So you can tell your wife about them.

You're right.

Distance, 8,000.

What are you doing?

A motorcycle.

Royal Enfield.

You know bikes?

Diesel engines like that are pretty rare.

But old stuff like this still works

since none of it has any IC chips.

Hang on.

Electronics.

All electrical circuits

have been destroyed.

So?

Analog stuff

with no electrical circuitry still works.

All motorcycles and all the cars

still work.

Like this bike, or that bus back there!

Damn it, no battery.

This bike, you said it's got

an old diesel engine, right?

Uh-huh.

So it doesn't run on regular gas,

but diesel.

- So does the bus, nice!

- Uh-huh.

Wait, so

You want to carry that bike

all the way back with you?

If we get this fuel back there,

we can use the bus and save Takuma.

You wanna save Takuma?

- Uh-huh.

- But if we go back,

then the game can't be cleared!

Yes it can. There's still enough time.

But just in case, you two keep going.

If I can start that bus,

I'll catch up real fast.

No more surviving

by letting other people die.

I'm done with it.

Distance, 7,000.

Distance, 10,000.

Distance, 6,000.

Distance, 12,000.

Distance, 4,000.

What?

That's the goal.

All right, let's wait for them.

Distance, 1,000.

15 minutes remaining.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

ENTRY PROHIBITED

Your wife?

This autumn, we're expecting a baby.

I'm sure

they're waiting for you somewhere.

Somewhere

they're waiting.

Everyone's waiting.

They're all out there somewhere.

So you have to stay alive to see them.

Five minutes remaining.

Doesn't look like they made it.

What the hell was that?

What is that?

Water?

I can't run anymore!

Yes, you can! Don't look back!

Ah!

Usagi!

Arisu!

Arisu.

Oh, it hurts.

Are you all right?

Thank you. Thanks.

Goal.

So this whole time

I was at the goal?

It was right there for us to see.

The bus was the goal from the very start.

Then what were all those numbers about?

The distance to the goal.

We were safe at zero.

Game cleared.

Congratulations.

I got you.

Hey, wait! Where are you going?

I, uh

I have no idea.

But I hope that

we'll meet again.

The Beach?

Maybe the people

who disappeared are there.

Could it be

some kind of evacuation shelter?

Yeah, maybe.

But there's an answer out there.

And I wanna remember Karube's words.

I'm gonna do it for everyone.

I'm gonna find the mastermind

of this sick game.

And get this world back to the way it was.

I swear it.

But to do that,

I have to head to the Beach.

You really don't know how to ride a bike?

I never learned how.

That's pretty hard to believe.

But this feels nice.
