Eden of the East Episode 2


Wow!! Akira is filthy rich! How I wish I can have 8,262,307,719 yen in my account now!! I wonder why the mysterious organization has so much money to give to Akira and Kondou. I also wonder what exactly is Akira's mission.

I like the part where they talk about Careless Monday. I can somewhat relate to that. People in my country are very careless too. Most of the time, they don't even bother about fire drills. To be frank, I'm guilty of that too.

Anyway, Akira and Saki look so sweet together. I really hope to see them together! It's been some time since I last felt so strongly for an anime couple.

Mini Summary
Saki and Akira arrived in Tokyo. The airport is extremely crowded because the missile attack also caused a plane to crash, which killed all aboard except for a few survivors. Saki is surprised to hear that people died as there were no victims in the previous Careless Monday incident. Akira asks about the Careless Monday incident, but Saki's friends called and informed her that they are coming to pick her up, even though they are stuck in a traffic jam.

Akira’s own phone also rings. It's a call from Juiz who informs him that he has entered the range of the Selecao System and she wants him to carry out the duty of the Haves, which Akira has no idea about. Juiz remains silent about his lost memory but she does remind him that he has 8,262,307,719 yen at his disposal. Akira eventually realizes that she can grant any request he has. He thus asks her to help him get out of the airport quickly. Within seconds, Juiz arranges for an official to escort Akira and Saki out of the airport.

Since Saki has no plans, she asks Akira out for some tea. However, he finally reveals to her that he doesn’t know his own identity. His priority is to find out his identity, and so he bids farewell and runs off. Saki is disappointed, but a short while later, Akira returns because he has no idea where the address in his passport is. The two thus take the monorail together. Saki notices that Akira’s home, Toyosu, is near the Careless Monday impact zones. There's a chance that his home might be gone. Akira then asks about the Careless Monday incident again. Saki explains that there is a total of 11 missiles attack including the one from the day before. The first 10 happened on November 22nd of the previous year, and no one knows exactly why it happened or where it came from. It's called Careless Monday as the Prime Minister of Japan felt that it happened because Japanese were too careless.

At the station where they alight, a person with the same mobile phone appears. Through his mobile phone, he's able to see all the purchases Akira has made, including the 100,000 yen bribe to the immigration official. He tries to track Akira down but Akira actually finds him first because he notices his mobile phone. The man claims that he’s with the police and checks Akira’s passport before letting Akira go. After that, Akira and Saki waited for the boat to Toyosu. While waiting, they chatted and upon hearing about Saki's past, Akira remembers a little about his own mother. The boat finally arrives and, though it's not planned, Saki decides to go with him.

As the two ride the boat, Akira asks about Saki’s experience in New York, and so she shows him the photos she took. One of the photos shows Ground Zero and they start talking about 9/11. Saki feels that it's an incident that people shouldn’t forget about. As the ferry goes pass the ruins of the missile attack, Akira takes a picture of the two of them in front of it.

Meanwhile, Kondou, who Akira met earlier, is looking through all of Akira’s purchases, including a brainwash program. When he's pursued relentlessly by his debtors, he calls Juiz and orders them to be killed. They are shot in the head in front of him. Unfortunately, a civilian happens to witness everything and Kondou has to order that guy to be killed as well. After being charged almost 1.5 million yen for that, he only has 7,034 yen left in his account. However, he’s not concerned as he’s after Akira and his account.
