My father died
when he was 36.
It was what's called a "sudden death."
Kokkuri, Kokkuri, if you are here,
move the coin towards ‘yes’.
I never believed in ghosts or the afterlife.
Where did you come from?
My father died when I was 1 year old.
I've never seen my father's ghost.
Heaven, ghosts... all that stuff, it's all a lie.
If it was true, my father would have appeared in front of me.
Isn't just that your father hates you?
Ah, sorry, sorry! I'll leave right now.
Ah! Wait! Wait!
It's broken.
What the hell.
Hmm?
- A resurrected! A resurrected! - What?
This, this!
If you spot a resurrected person, first call this number
Please, come immediately!
Yes, a man.
I'm home.
Seems like I fell asleep at the office.
My head hurts.
Do we have any meds for it?
Are you okay?
- Chika... - Don't come closer!
You don't feel well?
Is... is there something you want to tell me?
Mum.
Riku, do you want to sleep in my room with me?
- Water. - Water? Do you want water?
- Okay, okay. - Riku...?
Okay, look this way. Here we go.
- Why? - It's fine, just do it. Wait a moment.
Okay, okay.
Done? Okay, let's sleep.
Okay. Can I even sleep now?
Riku, here it goes!
Ah, he came here!
Resurrected person
Is that kid Riku?
What's going on?
Yes?
My name is Okada, I am from "Mizuo Health Center for the Rehabilitation and Reintegration of the Resurrected."
Is there a Mr. Tsuchiya Tetsuo who has been resurrected there?
Please, come quickly.
Please.
Excuse me, thank you.
- Is this the resurrected person? - Yes.
- Resurrected? - Yes, it means restored to life.
Restored to life? Who?
Me?
No, even for me it is hard to believe...
May I borrow a table?
- Ah, sure... here.
Excuse me, may I have a moment?
Then, this way. Excuse me.
Err... Mr. Tsuchiya,
It's been 3 years since you died, right?
- 3 years? - You died...
3 years ago.
Err... You fell from the roof of the company, didn't you?
- Fell? - Yes.
Ah, this 3:14...
That's the time you died.
Now, please fill in only the areas enclosed by the thick line here.
But I am alive.
Therefore, it means you were brought back to life.
Many resurrected
have no recollection of the time they died or the moments previous to it.
Seems it doesn't feel real.
You remember, right Mr. Tsuchiya?
- Not at all... - They usually remember little by little,
until then, we recommend that you stay at home for a while to rest and recover.
Three years ago, when you passed away,
you were removed from the family register,
So in your current state, if you're involved in an accident or incident
you're not legally protected.
So,
We need a temporary family register. Is that okay with you?
Yes.
Now, please fill in only the area enclosed by the thick line here.
Err... your driver's license from before your death can't be used.
Once a provisional registry is obtained,
the applicant can enroll in health insurance
but cannot reacquire a driver's license.
And also...
Please, have a checkout at the nearest hospital withing 2-3 days.
You can tell the hospital that you are a resurrected person,
show them my business card, and they will know what to do.
Excuse me.
Let me fix this.
Please, stamp your thumb at the fixed mistake.
Resurrected - registration form for a temporary family register Tsuchiya Tetsuo
Here.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, the procedure has now been completed.
Excuse me.
- Then, excuse me... - What? Are you done?
You're leaving him here?
- He's your husband... - Wait, hold on...
How did I fall from the rooftop?
I'd like to know that.
The police seemed to want to call it a suicide....
Suicide?
No way.
They said it must have been so...
- Everybody said so. - I don't get it.
Why would I commit suicide?
That's what I'd like to know!
- Sorry. - What?
Sleep there tonight.
Next up, national news in relation to the resurrected.
Nationwide, five new resurrections were confirmed today.
Three in Tokyo, one in Osaka, and one in Hokkaido.
This brings the total number of resurrected nationwide to 143.
Currently, local governments nationwide have set up consultation services at public health centers,
but today the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has once again
notified prefectures and core cities to accurately grasp the actual situation.
"Resurrected."
"People who died for various reasons but have come back to life."
"Most of the resurrected don't present any anomaly in their bodies when examined,
and their DNA is a perfect match."
"It is unclear how the resurrected came to be."
Ishizawa Beer!
Give the can one shake and then...
Look at the beautiful foam!
A raw foamy beer you can drink from the can!
Ishizawa Be...
Ishizawa Beer - Sales and planning division: Naoki Sonoda
Fill in the Blanks
subs by LuW | @luwuang
Tsuchiya!
I have legs.
Not funny!
So... What?
You are selling Ishizawa Beer.
Yeah, it's all thanks to your effort.
I read this.
So Sonoda took over.
If you are trying to say that he took the credit, you are wrong.
But why Sonoda?
The guy who spread the rumor that I was paying off a manufacturer's rep to get the job.
He hasn't admitted it.
I haven't bribed anybody.
I know that.
Then, why Sonoda?!
I know that you planned it and that you worked hard for it.
But... you understand that we couldn't mention your name, right?
You too think that I committed suicide, huh?
- That's the only option. - I didn't commit suicide.
Then, why did you fall from such place?
I can't remember it...
Do I look like I'd commit suicide?
You don't, that's why I was blamed!
But that's wrong!
We would like to use this room for a meeting...
Ah, it's fine! It's fine, we'll leave soon.
Shortly before you died, you pushed a security guard.
You probably had a lot in your mind.
That was because Saeki was kicking pigeons to death...
- Saeki? - That security guard!
He was always harassing me.
Didn't he say he didn't do it?
That was a lie...
Is he still working here?
I haven't seen him in a long time.
I see...
Maybe Saeki killed me.
Stop!
Your suicide fiasco has finally calmed down.
Don't cause unnecessary fuss.
No, I just...
I thought about it many times after you died, that it might have been my fault...
Of course not!
I liked you and this job,
and Ishizawa Beer was doing well.
I want to work here again.
Tsuchiya...
Everybody leaves a hole when they are gone.
But we can't leave that hole open there forever.
We all worked very hard to fill it.
You came back just when it was blocked.
Don't try to force your way in.
Sir... you don't want me back, do you?
Frankly, I don't want to rock the boat.
Sorry...
I had a feeling that was the case.
Oh..., is it possible to see the footage from this security camera? From the day I died.
Why...?
The police saw it, and they ruled it out as a suicide.
I want to know why I died.
I think I may remember, if I see myself on the day that I died.
- Excuse me, may I ask you something? - Yes.
Could you show me the security camera footage?
From 3 years ago.
There's nothing left from 3 years ago, it gets overwritten.
Is that so?
Didn't that person die?
That's disgusting... Ah, sorry.
Chika.
Still that shocked?
Sorry, you're right.
Can I talk to Riku today?
I will explain it to him on the way home from daycare.
We always stop by the park, so we'll talk there.
Thank you.
I died.
Well... yes...
Somehow, I don't remember anything.
Chika called us yesterday.
What did she say?
Well... What can I say... I guess she was surprised.
She didn't know what to do.
Was she scared?
Yeah.. yeah...
But well... I said, "anyway, we should be happy that Tetsuo came back...", you know.
I thought she wasn't happy about it, but...
No, no, no... that's not what I meant.
It's a good thing, a good thing...
Chika always said it.
That she felt she saw you among the people walking by...
She's wanted to meet you all this time.
Yeah.
Let's dig in.
Riku, you already eat rice with chopsticks...
Some kids in daycare eat with proper chopsticks, right?
Yeah.
I see...
That's amazing.
So hot! Hot...
Are you okay?
I'm okay, I'm okay.
So hot!
It's so hot! So hot...
- Dad is like a fish, isn't he? - So hot!
This makes me want a beer.
I have beer, want one?
True, you drink beer too, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
To the fact that you are alive.
Thanks.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Ah, let's have a toast too, Riku.
- Then, do you want to toast with mum. - Yeah.
Cheers! Cheers.
Cheers.
- Cheers. - Yes.
He fell asleep with me.
You've become so much like a mother.
Really?
Somehow... to me, it doesn't feel like I've been gone for 3 years,
but I really have, after all.
Yeah...
Must have been hard for you alone.
Riku is a good boy.
Somehow, being suddenly told that I was dead, I couldn't comprehend...
But Riku too has really grown up...
And you raised him up all by yourself.
I'm really thankful.
I should have said that first.
My tears won't come out anymore.
I am crying right now.
But... no tear will come out. Not even one.
I didn't know why you died....
I cried every day...
Sorry...
I still can't do it.
Somehow...
It was unthinkable that you would come back like this,
I thought that I would be happy and we'd go back to normal, you know?
But I still can't do it.... sorry....
I haven't changed at all.
You and Riku are the most important things in the world for me.
You really don't remember when you died?
Yeah...
And a little before that... it's a complete blank.
But before that?
You must have been worrying for a while.
You were in so much pain that you wanted to die, weren't you?
To the point you couldn't even tell me?
Or is it because it was me, that you couldn't tell me?
Why should I have killed myself?
I remember...
As usual, we were selling plum manju and yokan at the souvenir shop.
I got a call on my cell phone and when I answered it, it was the police...
The wanted me to go to Mizuo Station immediately...
You died instantly, so you weren't even transported to the hospital...
I was incredibly mad at that...
Not even in my dreams I expected that to ever happen.
But in reality, they told me you were dead...
They told me you died because you fell from a place where you couldn't possibly have fallen by mistake.
I had to accept it.
Trust me.
I'm not the kind of person that would commit suicide, leaving you and Riku behind!
For 3 years, I...
I kept thinking "why Tetsuo? why did he?"
"Why didn't I notice?"
I've been told by many people in many different ways.
It's not your fault that I died.
Absolutely not!
You don't have to blame yourself.
I will be my deceased father's age soon.
I was still 1 year old when he died,
we struggled financially, and it was lonely...
I didn't want Riku to go through that,
it was my dream to provide him a normal, happy family with two parents...
Yours too, right?
Yeah...
It's been always like that for me.
It may be difficult for a while... but,
I want you to start over with me again.
This time, I will never leave you and Riku.
I want to live with you forever.
I hope you do.
Thanks.
After all... it may sound unbelievable...
But it wasn't suicide.
If it couldn't have been an accident either....
The only option is murder.
Do you have any idea who could have done it?
Yes. There's just one person.
I think that I may have been murdered.
Murdered... meaning, you were brought back to life?
- Yes. - Ah, I see.
Mr. Tsuchiya Tetsuo... huh? It was an accidental death, right?
So does it say on the records,
but it's been considered that I committed suicide, right? Based on the situation.
Based on the situation...?
Oh, I see!
But I would never commit suicide.
Our family was doing well... right?
I also had a good job, so it an accident is ruled out,
it wouldn't be surprising to think I was murdered.
Hmm, well, that's indeed true.
Excuse me.
I would like to talk to you, ma'am.
Your husband says that he was murdered, right?
Do you agree with that?
I hadn't heard of that possibility before so I'm not sure...
I see.
But please don't deny it too strongly.
Pardon?
It seems like there are similar cases among the resurrected around the country.
Well, I guess they can't accept that they died.
Seems that if you deny or ignore them strongly,
they will harm the person they think is the culprit
or do something similar to stalking,
so we would like the family to moderate the reaction.
If you have any difficulties, please come to the police station and I will take care of it.
Ah, yes...
Why do you think that man killed you?
I was being resented.
This happened a bit before I died,
a security guard at our company was kicking pigeons to death.
I admonished him about that.
Come on.
Stop!
What are you doing?!
My job.
You're a terrible person.
Resorting to violence without asking why.
I'll report you to the company.
Do it.
The next day, I received a complaint
from the security company about a violent attack.
I understand your frustration because of the kickback rumors,
but right now you need to focus on Ishizawa Beer.
No, I told you that's not it, boss!
That security guard has a lose screw...
Calm down, calm down.
My boss understood, but...
But there were people in the company that believed the kickback rumors,
and everybody avoided me.
Sonoda, what you told me the other day...
How nice.
Getting a lunchbox like that prepared for you.
You forgot your own faults,
and said that I have a lose screw, didn't you?
It's true!
It was the director here who told me to do something about those pigeons.
So who is the crazy one?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Isn't it fine?
People whose only pleasure is to abuse animals,
endure life while huffing and puffing.
Pest birds that can do nothing more than spread germs
or the life of a single human being... which do you think is more important?
For someone like me, who is completely shunned by society,
what's wrong with kicking and killing pigeons, which are also frowned upon, for a living?
I was so energized that I am ready to go on living tomorrow.
Poetic, don't you think?
It's a poem.
Then he started following me around...
Why are you working so hard?
Is it for your family?
I guess your wife doesn't know.
She wouldn't believe that you ate the lunchbox she made with so much love, at such a dark place.
Mr. Gonda! Please let us move up the first mass production of Ishizawa Beer!
Do you understand the situation at the factory?
Why are you working so hard?
Boss!
What's the point?
I know that you are disappointed with your life, too.
- Now it's time for mass production! - It cost 100 million for development.
It can't fail!
Why are you working so hard?
Did you actually work that hard?
Yes, I was working on a new product, so I was exhausted every day.
But it was fulfilling.
- Good job, everybody! - Good job!
With Ishizawa Beer finally on the market,
it felt that we had done a good job.
I also went on a family vacation to Bali.
Tetsuo! Tetsuo!
Still, Saeki's harassment continued.
Why do you work like such an idiot?
Hey... what are you doing in my car? Get out!
You see, I hate people like you.
I can't tell you how refreshing it would be if you were gone.
If you won't get off, stay there. I'll call the police.
What are you doing? Let go!
This one area called Japan is perishing.
The old people are devouring the young people's food.
Those pigs will die happy and full,
leaving the ones coming after them to bear the consequences.
Compared to that, aren't you struggling to death?
You are so exhausted that you can hardly think.
On top of that, they are jealous of you, they spread rumors and harass you, having to eat your lunchbox alone.
There is nothing good about it.
I have a family.
So what? Are you trying to say that you are happy?
Exactly. Working for my family is happiness!
Happiness? What's that?
In a world where you have to work until
dying of exhaustion just to barely live like an average human,
supporting your family means happiness?
That's just something we're conditioned to believe
so we don't get unnecessary ideas.
Then, what do you think happiness is?
Huh? Do I look happy?
Are you an idiot?
Everybody despises me,
but frankly, I am a much better person than you people
who work for such a third-rate company.
Then why working here?
It's because of people's preferences.
Everyone hates me, saying that I am disagreeable.
So, I understand your feelings, Mr. Tsuchiya.
Why am I working so hard, exhausted,
grinding myself to death for nothing much in return?
No, I shouldn't think that.
I'm just happy to work.
Some people are more unfortunate.
But I've worked hard and tried my best,
and now everyone hates me because of one trivial lie.
Why the hell?!
In such time, you should just hate.
We just have to be honest about our preferences.
It's okay to hate Sonoda, it's okay to hate your bosses, to hate your company,
your parents, your family, and even yourself.
I don't hold that view.
You are a kind person, huh? Liked by everybody.
Get out!
I am a solitary person.
I don't have any money.
My personality is also gloomy.
I'm already over 40.
I have zero prospects.
At night, all the genes in my body start to cry.
You see... even now, you see, don't you hear it?
I don't care who, just get me merged with some woman's genes as soon as possible.
Ah, I don't want to perish in a place like this...
I only soothe them in vain.
Ah, poor things, that's impossible....
Hey, share your happiness with me.
Please, let me combine my genes with your wife's.
What are you saying...?
It's enough to let me leave my genes behind.
A connection at a genetic level.
Shut up...
Even genes like these have been passed down from generation to generation since the time of monkeys.
Through reproduction.
Does this mean my genes have to be weeded out?
Please.
Please, let me combine my genes with your wife's.
Mr. Tsuchiya!
So you are saying that this Saeki person killed you.
Yes...
Huh? Where's Chika...?
She left quite a long time ago, saying it was time for work.
Please.
Please, let me combine my genes with your wife's.
Shut up!
Did you tell Tetsuo about Saeki?
What happened between Saeki and you.
