Akudama Drive (アクダマドライブ)

Yes! Out on time today!

All right! Time for dinner! What should I buy to make?

A cat...?

Uh! Hey! Look out!

Watch it!

Idiot! Got a death wish?

No. I'm super sorry!

Whoa. A takoyaki stand?

Wow, I can't remember the last time I had some.

Maybe we should change that!

One, two, three, four...

Hi, there! One order of takoyaki, please!

Sure thing. It's 500 yen. Here you go.

Uh. Hey, um, I think you may've dropped some money.

Sir? Excuse me, you dropped this coin.

It's bad luck to pick up loose change.

Huh? Hey! You shouldn't litter! There're bins for your garbage.

Wait! What about...?

Your food's ready, dearie!

Here you go.

Ooh! Smells delicious! My seal is...

Read the sign! We only take cash!

In this day and age?

--Huh?! --Uh. I'm kinda...

Don't tell me you're broke!

I have plenty of money!

Then pay up already!

You see, I don't actually have cash on me,

so can you wait a sec? I promise I'll come back.

You were planning to dine and dash!

Think I haven't heard that one before?

I wasn't born yesterday, y'know?

Why? Why me?!

We need it delivered to the Akamaru

fighting over at Nishinari warehouse.

Call it a second wind.

If you don't get there in time, you're a dead man!

We'd do it ourselves,

but no way in hell we're showing our faces there.

It's all on you.

I never fail a job.

Got a package for you.

Thanks?

Real classy way to win.

Guess there's no refusing it.

Please surrender peacefully!

Please surrender peacefully!

Ha! Can't guarantee it'll be peaceful.

But if you want me to surrender,

you'll need about a million more of your friends!

One loud mouth like you ain't worth my time.

Warning! Warning!

Warning! Warning! Warning...

Well, it ain't a mil,

but I think I'm gonna enjoy this.

That's disappointing. Hardly broke a sweat.

-- --Huh?

A message? For me?

Heh!

Like anybody can order me around.

But destroying a police station? I'm down for that!

You wanna test my skills? Let's go!

How should I amuse myself today?

Maybe the Kansai Central Bank?

Its security is ranked third highest in the entire city.

Heh. But with a little bit of hacking,

we should be able to sneak right in.

Access granted.

I have total control over the entire branch's systems.

And now I'm bored again.

Hm? From an unknown sender.

How did they manage to track me down?

So it's a contest to see who can free

the infamous Cutthroat first? You've intrigued me.

Hey, bud. Are you feeling okay? Hey!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everything's gonna be just fine. Step aside.

This man's suffering from a mild heart attack.

Nothing surgery can't fix.

We should get him to a hospital!

Are you a doctor?

You're looking at a walking operating room

in heels, Sweetie.

Nothing beats the feeling of holding

someone else's life in your hands!

Especially after taking a hiatus!

Maybe we should...

Who asked you?!

That was exhilarating!

That's certainly a tall order.

Well, I was looking to kill some time.

Look! I'm telling you I'm innocent!

I was gonna pay her back, honest!

Yet you were arrested with 500 yen

on your person. So why didn't you pay?

Because it's not my money!

And I don't mean I stole it, either!

I found it and have to return it to someone!

That'll learn ya.

Having money and refusing to pay is considered fraud.

It sounds to me like you're a swindler.

Wha-- No! You take that back! I'm not a swindler!

-- --

That's not good.

Didn't realize there was a junkyard

in the middle of the street!

An Akudama? Why is he heading here, though?

What in the world...?

Cats don't belong at police stations! Careful kitty!

That's my competition? Interesting.

Attacking head-on like an idiot.

Still, he'll serve as a distraction.

Now, then. Shall we start?

As long as that fool keeps on rampaging,

I should be able to slip right in.

Shit! Why're Akudama attacking us?

Is it because today's the execution?

Not the smoothest stop, but it is what it is.

Hey, you! Listen!

You better not be cutting ahead of me!

Shithead.

Who are you calling a shithead?!

Bad news, sir!

Cut to the chase! What the hell's going on?

It's Akudama!

A bunch of S-Rank Akudama are attacking the station!

What?

They've managed to break right through our defenses

and are currently heading towards the elevator!

I believe that--

They're after Cutthroat.

What now?

You'd think the police's security protocols

would pose more of a challenge.

From up here, I can keep eyes on every single move

the other Akudama make.

I can't reach anyone in the control room!

Then we'll push up the schedule! Execute Cutthroat immediately!

-- But, sir... --Don't ever question me!

The Execution Hall. This instant!

A sub level.

Damn wimps are a pain in the ass!

I caught up to ya now, asshole.

So, how 'bout you come and play with me?

Go play with yourself.

I've always hated playing alone,

so why don't the two of us have some fun?

Glad I listened to that weird message and came here.

I'm starting to enjoy all this!

Don't bite your tongue.

Nice try! But now it's my turn!

What the... hell?

Poison. It's nothing original,

but that elevator's the only way of reaching Cutthroat,

so I had to get you outta the way somehow.

Looks like all the players have arrived.

Think I'll watch from a safe distance

and let them take each other out.

That reward's as good as mine.

You're gonna need more than that to take me out!

You're joking! That gas could've put down an elephant!

Not a fan of this!

Two for the price of one.

Dammit!

Either one of you move and my drones will fire

a plasma laser that'll reduce both of you to a pile of dust!

Yeah? Try me twerp.
