Tokyo District Court— We will first establish the identity of the defendant.
The public hearing will now begin.
CLACK Defendant, state your name‌
Defendant, step forward.
Ma… Maehata…
… Shinnosuke.
10 June, 1904.
What is your date of birth?
Your residence? Setagaya-ku, Tokyo…
Your profession? I deal with real estate…
I will read out the indictment.
Now then, prosecutor, please read your indictment…
CLACK
Yes.
The defendant, Maehata Shinnosuke, in August 1955…
…From the welfare institution, Yokohama House of Hope…
Now then…
…Yeah.
It's about time we head back…
clatter
What's wrong, you lot‌
We are in the middle of the trial.
Judge, the defendant, this shitty old man, is sure to be convicted, so‌
We're leaving the court now.
Hey, that hurts! Don't pull me.
We would have left even if you hadn't said that!
...security, throw them out quickly.
When we exchanged looks with Megu, we realized we no longer had to be there in court. Megu‌ Do as you please.
If it's you, Megu, you can surely overcome even this event.
Hey, everyone.
Oh, Cabbage, sorry to make you come all the way here.
Nah. Anyway, today, I got discharged from hospital. I'm all better now.
Just for that, Megu has to take the witness stand, in front of such a large crowd…
That old guy, even if he's found guilty, it'd be hard to get him a jail sentence, right.
But… is this really okay, doing that trial… Why?
This is what Megu decided.
No matter how tough it is, she'll keep at it… that's what she decided.
Leave it, Mario…
Anyway, we have something we have to take care of!
It's as Soldier said.
Yeah… You're right.
Right then…
Let's go!
Now then, we will move on to the crossexamination of the witness.
Yes… As the witness is a minor, normally this case would be kept private, but… As the witness herself strongly requested it, I will continue as it is.
Prosecutor…
Now then, can the witness step forward…
He-hey, such a sweet young girl fell victim to that guy…
STEP Even though she's so pretty… How pitiful…
Dammit!
! I can't win at gambling…
This isn’t going well...
Yo!
Big dude… You took care of me last time
BANG
Sorry to interrupt while you're in the middle of something but‌ Can I borrow you for a bit.
Directing your hatred towards me is unreasonable. Thanks to that, the money ain't coming in‌
Hey hey, I don't know what's going on but, that old guy already got arrested.
That's just your reasoning… For me, I can't end it if I'm on the losing side.
To be able to watch a fight of An-chan's so cheaply…
I can't wait…
To protect what's precious to us…
We'll always fight.
Isn’t that right...
Megu…!!
Joe and his sister are fighting a battle in the courtroom together. We are engaging in a battle of life and death with the monsters. Though the locations are different, the boys of block 2 room 6 are each fighting in An-chan's style.
Having suffered damage, we can't just end it like this. That's what it means to protect something‌
