"There seems to be a mantle plume activity under the continent... which is stirring up all the mantles below the Earth." "Expecting another tectonic movement?" "Correct." "Tell me, Professor." "What's happening down there?" "As a reaction to the mantle plume activity... the ocean floor mantle under the Eurasian Plate... rushed right below where the American continent had been." "Therefore, the mantle underneath the Pacific Plate... lost its support and is being pushed all the way..." "Professor." "Enough about below." "What will happen on the surface?"

"Go on, United Nations." "Yeah." "Give Ueno Park to America." "Why?" "Tell us." "Yeah." "There's Ame-Yoko next to Ueno Park." ""Ame" stands for "America", so that should be convenient." "Are you out of your mind?" "That's impossible." "Besides, "Ame" originally means "sugar" not "America"." "It was a place where people sold sugar after the war." "However, during the Korean War, American goods were traded there." "So some called it "American-Yokocho"." "But originally, it means "candy"." "In other words, "sugar"." "You should study harder." "No good at all!" "China and Korea!" "Since when have you both become Japan's slaves?" "Japan invaded your countries!" "So?" "That part of history has sunk and disappeared with our land." "Water under the bridge." "Correct answer!" "Give him a cushion." "Here you are." "Out of my way!" "Here you are, Goto." "You've been to the Professor's press conference." "Yep." "He talked about tectonic movements of the past three years and what's to come." "We all know that the carbon dioxide has built up to a dangerous level." "As a result, the glaciers melted, and the waters began to cover the land." "At the same time, the mantle under the Pacific started to heat up." "The convection current..." "The convection current that lies under the Pacific and the Asian continent... is called the ocean-floor mantle." "This boiling hot mantle traveled its way toward the Japanese islands... and has crashed into the continental mantle underneath." "Boom!" "As the mantle pushed up Japan, the sea level rose rapidly." "Thus damaging the ocean basin at the same time." "With this, the boundary between the crust and the mantle... called the Mohorovicic discontinuity, shattered to pieces." "The mantle had always been moving toward Japan, four centimeters per year." "But all of a sudden, it picked up speed!" "Japan was pushed violently toward the Asian continent... and has now moved onto a sunken land." "Splashing our way on top of the continent of China!" "You mean, Japan is literally on top of China now?" "Whereabouts?" "The North China Plain?" "Not so loud." "The Chinese could be here." "They're busy kissing the Prime Minister's ass." "What did the Professor say about the future?" "Yeah, what did he say?" "Well..." "Just recently..." "I've discovered a connection between the air mass and the convection current." "As a result, Japan will..." "What will happen to Japan?" "He disappeared from the room?" "Sure did." "You just watched him leave?" "Why didn't you go after him and bring him back?" "Oh, shut up!" "Yeah." "Not only the Professor... but the whole country went crazy within a few years." "Excuse me." "I'm getting off here." "Please, let me off." "With the arrival of foreigners, the population grew five times larger." "A dollar dropped to 0.05 yen." ""Stock Exchange"" "A gen dropped to 0.003 yen and a euro minus four yen."

"Jerry." "Hi, Mr. Koga." "That was an outstanding performance by an Oscar winner!" "Thanks." "Four fifths of the population in Japan are foreigners now." "TV shows should star famous actors like you, for better ratings." "You can count on me." "I've got something for your wife Elizabeth, too." "Really?" "Look." "It's a remake of a big hit TV show." "All the producers had the same idea." "They had actors from abroad star in their shows... but against their expectations, they ended up with the lowest ratings." "Why did this happen?" "The foreigners who were expected to watch TV, didn't have TV sets." "Moreover, the Japanese viewers became tired of watching foreigners everyday." "The Present, Year 2014" "Fired?" "What do you mean, fired?" "I'm the Oscar actor, Jerry Cruising." "Fine." "I'll never be on your stupid show." "You'll regret it!" "Elizabeth, please get the door." "My fans are gonna murder you!" "Our landlord's here." "Come on..." "A dollar is worth 0.05 yen, so one of these would be 500 yen." "That's not enough." "I'll give you three minutes." "Think it over." "I won't wait any longer!" "Take it all." "It's still not enough." "Liar!" "I'm not lying!" "You listen up." "I need 966 more of these." "This 966!" "You're crazy!" "No money!" "How can we get it?" "No!" "You crazy!" "You go home!" "Yellow monkey!" "Hamburger prince!" "I beg you, don't walk out on me." "What the hell is going on?" "Oh, that yellow monkey, he said Japanese yen is..." "What?" "Our money doesn't mean a thing in Japan!" "Even in these conditions, some roles were left for foreign actors." "Special-Effects Fantasy "Den Ace"" "Episode 563" ""Beat the Monster!"" "Once, I saw Jerry Cruising on a show where he was being chased by a monster." "This special-effects fantasy became the talk of the country." "The monsters keep stepping on foreigners." "Repeatedly." "Whenever Hajime Den feels good after a sip of beer..." "Hajime Den he changes into the almighty "Den Ace"!" "Den Ace is 53 meters tall, weighs 55 thousand tons... and moves at Mach 20." "Our hero,"Den Ace"!" "Den Ace would often... fall down and squash the foreigners." ""Den Ace" was a special show that lightened the stress of the Japanese... who had become sick of foreigners." "Whale meat is delicious." "Here you are." "Thanks." "They're quite cheap." "Why?" "Because nobody's against whaling anymore." "Whale meat was originally a Japanese delicacy." "We're free to eat them now." "So the fact that the world sinks except Japan wasn't so bad after all." "There are so many weird foods at the supermarket." "All kinds of animals from around the world." "Leg of vultures and sea lions... and meat of migratory birds you've never heard of." "They are edible, aren't they?" "I'll check for things you might like." "I'd better improve my cooking." "I'm counting on you, honey" "Mr. Koga?" "Elizabeth." "Have mine, too." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "I'm sorry about Jerry." "You do understand the situation here in Japan." "I don't care how small it is." "Please give me a role." "What are you saying?" "You're Elizabeth Clift." "Every movie fan's dream." "I can't give you a small part with practically no lines." "I'm an actress." "I can't be anything else." "Mr. Koga, please let me act!" "You're exactly the actress I fell in love with." "Alright Elizabeth." "I'll be your manager." "Really?" "With that kind of determination, all of Japan will love you, too." "Thank you, Mr. Koga." "Another bad dream?" "Sorry." "You should go see a doctor." "There are lots of people like me." "You mean, foreigners." "Not all foreigners were living miserably." "English conversation schools all around Japan went out of business." "Instead, a new school was made by an ex-TV personality." ""Dave's Japanese Conversation School"" "What do you think is the secret to your success?" "Well..." "Japan is an island country with an exclusive society." "So all 400 million foreigners should master Japanese perfectly." "We should try and aim for Rank A." "Only then, will the Japanese treat you like human beings." "Thanks to you all, business is flourishing." "You seem happy." "I went to see Dr. Namiki today." "A doctor?" "You mean..." "I'm three months pregnant." "Wow!" "We did it!" "It was worth the effort." "Cut it out." "One more Japanese will come into this world." "Aren't you glad you'll be born a Japanese?" "That tickles." "I'll fix you a drink." "Kyonan University" "Feels good." "Wonderful." "Alright now." "It's my turn to give you girls a massage!" "Dirty old Professor." "That's a compliment." "Um..." "As you were saying..." "Still here?" "Where was I?" "You were talking about the mantle." "Oh yes." "When energy builds up, it has to erupt at some point." "The same goes with men and women, as well as the Earth." "Is another mantle plume activity on the way?" "Very soon." "In the future." "Which is it?" "What could be 30 minutes global time... could be 3 billion years microbiological time." "Please answer my question." "Why don't you take a bite?" "It's ripe, huh?" "Think of this peach as our Earth." "The plate we're standing on is merely the skin that covers the fruit." "As simple as that." "The skin will peel off ever so easily." "To begin with, a skin never worries about what's happening on the inside." "Not unless you're a doctor performing circumcision." "What's your point, Professor?" "I'm saying, there's no need to worry." "What we should do s enjoy life while we can!" "You're just fooling around." "What will your wife say?" "Listen." "My wife and I haven't had sex in a long long time." "But soon after foreign men came flooding in... she became a sex maniac!" "What's wrong with a short dick?" "Nippon banzai!" "That's why I'm having these blonde girls at my feet." "As the costs of food went up, the prices of foreign women went down." "Honey, I'm only 10 yen." "No thanks." "I'm not gonna pay 10 yen to catch some disease." "Fuck you!" "Short dick!" "How much are you?" "3000 yen." "3000?" "Who's gonna pay that much for a..." "I'll pay." "Now for the foreigner forecast." "Hello, this is Yoshizumi Morita." "Many foreigners were out today, weren't there?" "At Sakomizu Temple in Kyoto, 86 carps worth 500 thousand yen each... were turned into barbeques by homeless foreigners." "The damage amounted to 43 million yen." "People, please be careful of foreigners when you visit Kyoto." "Also, at Hattori Shrine in Kitagawa Town... an offertory box was robbed." "After taking the money, the robbers burned the box to warm themselves." "The homeless foreigners who did this were later arrested." "According to the police, there are as many as 30 million foreigners... staying in Japan illegally, and using the shrines and temples as lodgings." "Isn't it surprising to know that so much shrines and temples existed?" "Be careful not to go near them." "Tomorrow, there's a chance of more foreigners coming in... from the Pacific and the Sea of Japan." "So please be sure to lock all doors and never go out alone." "Look out for the East China Sea." "They may come from the Sea of Okhotsk too, so take extra care." "That's all from me." "We should ship them all out of the country." "The Japanese should try sharing with foreigners than... arresting them." "They'd steal from us anyway." "Do you know how America became such a powerful country?" "They accepted immigrants and gave them freedom and opportunity." "But Japan is very small." "No, your hearts are small." "We're just cautious." "Darling, write an article that calls out to the readers." "Ask the Japanese people to give foreigners more jobs." "Actually, I was doing exactly that." "Here."

"Alright then, we'll hire some foreign maids." "That's not my point." "I could do that for you." "I'm trying to help." "They can stay at our house and eat our leftovers." "They're not stray animals!" "You want to help them or not?" "Make up your mind." "You want foreign maids?" "Well... they make you look better." "You're just like the rest of them." "I was only trying to help." "That's mine!"

"What's that tone?" "You have time for facials but no time to go shopping?" "Don't nag at me!" "Alright." "I'm going." "With that face?" "I'm going." "Alright, I'll order something." "I'm going anyway!" "What's wrong with you?" "Can't you be more obedient?" "You should be thankful that you're married to a Japanese!" "Shut up!" "I'm American!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Hey..." "Wait, will you?" "Going out?" "I'm leaving." "You can have all my clothes." "No, you can't!" "That was how my wife, Catherine left me." "A picture book?" "I'm reading it to my baby." "Isn't it a little too soon?" "What's it about?" ""Once upon a time, there lived a mouse inside a mitten."" ""One day, a frog came along and they shared the mitten."" ""Then came a rabbit, a fox, a wolf, and a wild boar..."" ""until finally, a bear joined in..."" ""and the mitten swelled up."" "But it's impossible to live inside something as small." "That's the fun of it." "Besides, the bear and the wolf would eat the others up." "But they all live happily ever after inside the mitten." "The Yasuki dance..." "That's all he ever does." "But never mind." "Remember the girl in the movie, "Stevie's Angels"?" "Ever since I saw her dance, I've fantasized about her." "She's now a porn star." "Watch her movie." "I came seven times." "Wow." "Alright then." "Let's watch it with my maids tonight." "Better not." "Foreign women will suck the life out of you." "Dry as a mummy." "What did I miss?" "Hollywood actresses in dirty movies." "Oh." "Don't you watch them with your wife?" "We don't do that kind of stuff." "Which actress are you talking about?" "Sophie Kristel, Olivia Cotton..." "Susan Percy... and Joanna O'Neal." "Talking of Hollywood actresses, what about Elizabeth Clift?" "Haven't seen her yet." "You haven't?" "Actually, she once came to me asking for a job." "I went to visit her yesterday, but they told me she'd already moved." "I slept with Elizabeth the other day." "She got so excited when I gave her a Yummy Snack, you know what I mean?" "Hey, weren't you her fan?" "Sorry." "Forget I ever said that." "How was she?" "She may be a first-class actress but was second-class in bed." "She'd never take you seriously!" "You wanted to share her with Jerry?" "Just because she's left him... 10 days after Catherine left..." "I came across her quite unexpectedly." "I said I'm paying for it!" "Catherine, go home." "Let her go." "She's my wife!" "What happened?" "I'm the leader of GAT leader." "This foreigner was caught stealing a Yummy Snack." "Oscar Award winner, Jerry Cruising was caught shoplifting a Yummy Snack." "A single Yummy Snack was now 100 thousand yen." "I had no idea how Catherine met Jerry." "She was begging the leader for Jerry's release in exchange for money." "You ask him." "How much for his release?" "Foreigners aren't allowed to be bailed out." "He's to be deported instantly." "But I'm asking you." "I'm Japanese." "We have orders from the top leader." "You're all crazy!" "He's the award winning actor, Jerry Cruising." "Haven't you seen his movies?" "How could you do such a thing to him?" "He's a criminal nevertheless." "Make an exception." "No way." "Stupid bureaucrats!" "You know what?" "I could get you arrested for insulting me!" "Let's go home for now." "My sub-editor may know some way to help Jerry." "I'm going with him." "Are you serious?" "If you can help Jerry, you can help me, too." "I'll join him." "A voluntary departure?" "Fine." "Hey, you can't do that." "Catherine, you're married to me." "Come back home." "I'd rather be deported than to go back to you!" "Still angry at me?" "No... it's the maids." "I'll fire them, so come home with me." "I love Jerry." "I've chosen Jerry, not you." "Catherine..." "You'll die!" "Even if you're lucky enough to reach Tibet or Pairs... you'll be raped by savages!" "What's the difference, if I stayed here in Japan?" "Don't go, Catherine." "No, you're coming with me." "Mister..." "Come back!" "Mister." "I'm starting to wonder which one of us is getting deported." "Mister." "If you still love Catherine at all, if you truly love her... you must let her do as she pleases." "Catherine, I wish you have this." "Baby, you make me so happy." "Thank you." "Here you are!" "The extra spin!" "Oh, what fun!" "Excellent." "Stand up." "Move." "I knew it." "You're..." "Too late!" "Thank you very much for bullying my country, Mr. President." "Listen, ignorant people." "As of now, this island is mine!" "We're in big trouble." "Japan will never give in to terrorism." "You'll be our hostages for now." "Until all of Japan is at my feet." "GAT will stop you." "GAT is working for me now." "What?" "We've picked up 13 homeless foreigners." "The search at Asahikawa Zoo went smoothly today... and we're expecting to find approximately 300 more." "Excuse me." "Nice work." "Freeze!" "Put your hands behind your backs." "Mr. Ishiyama." "As of now, you will be our hostage." "By now, our General Secretary should have Yasuizumi by the neck." "You!" "I said, hands behind your back!" "I've made this special bomb, Spiner Z for such an occasion." "With a push of this button, the whole building will blow to pieces." "You can't fool me." "I know it's a fake." "Find out for yourselves." "I've worked hard to serve and protect my country." "I've done so... because I love the beautiful nature and culture of Japan." "Japan..." "Japan is forever ours." "We'll never let the foreigners touch us." "Who gives a damn about the Continent of China" "My guts will spill out but I'll pretend it's pneumonia" "Hooray to our General Secretary Kim!" "Hooray, hooray..." "Tadokoro!" "My friends." "Before long, Japan will sink." "Do not fuss." "The Earth along with mankind have come to an end." "I've discovered a connection between the air mass and the convection current." "It seems that Japan will be on top of China only temporarily." "Merely a one-time transitional phenomenon." "Drink and have fun while it lasts... and remember to take a leak in between." "The mantle's layers under the Pacific are changing rapidly... which means that the pressure from the Pacific is low." "Then what happens?" "The continent will start tilting toward the Pacific." "However, Japan is on top of this continent." "So naturally, the island of Japan will tilt over with the continent... and sink into the Pacific." "Won't we float back?" "Fool." "Not a chance." "We're like a seesaw." "Or a swing." "Exactly." "From the beginning, land on Earth has... always been like seesaws and swings." "Humans living on this unstable planet... are just insecure beings, always running out of time." "That's all folks." "Good bye..." "Professor!" "We're trapped!" "There!" "Professor..." "We must escape." "Don't move!" "It's all your fault!" "We're dying anyway!" "You stuck up old bastard!" "Let me go!" "Truce, everyone!" "Someone have a light?" "Here's a flashlight." "Shit, the battery's gone." "Wait, I thought I saw a candle somewhere." "Beautiful." "This could be the last light we'll see." "Did something hit my head?" "What's happened?" "Hey, what are you all doing?" "There was an earthquake." "An earthquake occurred and something fell on your head." "It's all the earthquake's fault." "Yes." "This world was born with earthquakes and will disappear with them." "This is the end of humanity." "However... the end could be a beginning of another story." "Akiko..." ""Once upon a time, there lived a mouse inside a mitten."" ""One day, a frog came along and they shared the mitten."" ""Then came a rabbit, a fox, a wolf, and a wild boar..."" ""until finally, a bear joined in and the mitten swelled up."" "Just as the world was about to end, there came a moment of peace."
