Eden of the East

- Season 1

(2009)

Saki's visit to the U.S. takes an odd turn when she meets Takizawa in front of the White House. He's naked and armed with a gun. He has no memory and may be a terrorist. And he's joining her on a flight to Japan.

Takizawa learns some unusual facts from Juiz: if he calls with a request, she'll make it happen - quickly. She also reveals that billions of yen are credited to the device - and Takizawa has to spend it.

At the shopping mall he calls home, Takizawa receives a violent visit from Kondo. Their next meeting goes just as poorly - the detective, bleeding in the street, reveals monstrous actions from Takizawa's past.

During a visit with the respected Dr. Hiura, Takizawa finally learns the rules, expectations, and penalties that come with the role of a Sele̤̣o. He also learns how impossibly difficult it's going to be to survive.

As Akira contemplates the power he has as a Selecao, he is confronted by a stranger who had known him before he had erased his memories. Saki prepares for her prospective job interview, but she is rudely turned down.

Saki returns to her friends in Eden of the East, a recycling club at their University, and tells them about Akira. Akira offers to help Eden of the East in their goal, in exchange for having them help him on his duty as a Selecao.

The Eden of the East members begin to receive pictures from Ohsugi. Takizawa uses his phone to find him. Juiz is able to locate him in a hotel.

Takizawa wakes up to find Saki tending to his wounds.Ohsugi returns to Eden of the East, takes a picture of Takizawa and registers to Eden's program. He finds out that Takizawa has different aliases. He calls Hirasawa to warn Eden.

"Pantsu" manages to recover the complete Selecao history from Kondo's phone, and discovers that the Selecao were responsible for Careless Monday.

After finding out Mr. Outside's true identity, Takizawa learns that those responsible for Careless Monday are planning an even greater attack - but the most disturbing revelation concerns his missing memories.

Saki explains to Eden that Takizawa recruited the NEET to help evacuate citizens. Takizawa took responsibility for Careless Monday and shipped the NEETs to Dubai. Out of guilt and despair for what had happened, Takizawa erased his memories.
