Saki and Micchon board the train to go home but Takizawa doesn't. Takizawa is confronted by Mononobe who offers to reveal the truth about the game and himself. Takizawa then receives a call from Saki who reveals that she overheard him when he confronted Kuroha. Takizawa tells Saki to stay on the line and listen to his and Mononobe's conversation. Meanwhile, Eden investigates the theater and receive a large amount of data from Itazu. Takizawa and Mononobe talk about the missing NEETs and Mononobe tells him who he believes Mr. Outside is, a man named Ato Saizo who is the president of the ATO company. Ato Saizo was a great political figure who helped fix Japan but probably died of terminal cancer, though the game still goes on because of the Supporter. Mononobe tells Takizawa that he will become Mr. Outside and take Juiz. Takizawa and Mononobe arrive at a research facility managed by the ATO Institute. Meanwhile, Eden uncovers the data and it shows the Selecaos' spending logs. Eden then looks outside to see a ship full of naked people who they think are the missing NEETs and flee. Mononobe, along with Yuuki and Selecao #2 Tsuji, plan to launch more missiles and tell Takizawa not to get in their way again as they tell him why he erased his memories. Takizawa was in despair after he had been betrayed by the people he attempted to help, and he leaves. A woman then comes in telling the three Selecao that there will not be a winner tonight. Monobe checks his phone to see that Juiz has been moved to a hidden location, and Mononobe says that Selecao #12 is the Supporter or maybe even Mr. Outside. The final scene shows Takizawa sitting on a train and Saki crying on the floor, after realizing that she had betrayed Takizawa by hoping something bigger than Careless Monday would happen.
Compilation: Air Communication
A re-editing of the 11 television episodes of popular anime Higashi no Eden into a feature-length film.
Movie I: The King of Eden
The story continues where it left off from the Eden of the East TV series, and brings Morimi Saki back to the USA in order to find Takizawa Akira. The other Selecao however are actively moving to take part in the game, and a few in particular are making dangerous moves in order to eliminate Takizawa or move towards their picture of a better Japan.
Movie II: Paradise Lost
The second Eden of the East movie. The story of political and subversive intrigue in the series finally reaches endgame. Even as the law enforcement net tightens around Saki and her fellow Eden of the East associates over alleged terrorist activities, the complex web surrounding the mysterious Mr. Outside is finally untangled as the remaining Selecao attempt to outmaneuver one another. Takizawa's memories and identity are also finally revealed including his association with a former Prime Minister and his request to be the King of Eden.
Real Reality, Imaginary Reality
Following Kondo's advice, Akira goes to track down the other Selecao members. He eventually manages to find Selecao number V, Hajime Hiura who is an influential brain surgeon. Hiura at first suspects Akira to be the Supporter, the Selecao tasked to observe the other Selecao members and to punish them if they break any of the rules. After being assured Akira is not the Supporter, Hiura tells him about Selecao. It is an organization run by Mr. Outside, an enigmatic individual who chose twelve individuals, and gave them ten billion yen each with the condition to use the money to save Japan. If the Selecao members refuse, run out of money, or act in a manner unbecoming of a "messiah", then they are to be eliminated by the Supporter. Shortly after Akira leaves, Hiura is murdered by the Supporter since he had run out of money.
Even Though Now Is Not the Time To Think About Things Like That
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. It is implied that the stranger was one of the missing NEETs, since he is angry at Akira for ditching him and his fellows in Dubai. However, grudgingly thanks him since his experiences there helped him reintegrate into society. Realizing that he had forgotten about Saki, Akira asks Juiz to locate her. As he does this, Selecao's No. 1 and 11 take notice of Akira's activities. Meanwhile, after returning home, Saki prepares for her prospective job interview, but she is rudely turned down. She finds Akira waiting for her outside the building and goes with him, venting about how the adults do not care for the younger generation. Akira then kisses Saki and assures her that he will help her. Meanwhile, a heartbroken Ohsugi, who saw Saki leaving with Akira, goes to a restaurant and drowns his sorrow in alcohol. As the drunken Ohsugi leaves the restaurant, Selecao's No. 11 comes across him.
Eden of the East
Saki returns to her friends in Eden of the East, a recycling club at their University, and tells them about Akira. They soon become interested in (and suspicious of) him and decide to go visit him. Akira warmly greets them and informs them that he had found out about their club's special commodity. They have developed a revolutionary image recognition program, but have stalled due to problems at the University. Akira offers to help Eden of the East in their goal, in exchange for having them help him on his duty as a Selecao. Encouraged by Akira, Saki decides to stay in the club. Meanwhile, Hirasawa receives a call from Kasuga, who had been tasked with finding Ohsugi. Kasuga suspects that Ohsugi may have been kidnapped by the "Johnny Hunter", a kidnapper reputed to have almost 20,000 victims, according to a story circulating over the internet.
Black Swan Dances
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 the Hotel Insomnia where he was taken after being kidnapped by the "Johnny Hunter". The hunter is Kuroha Diana Shiratori, Selecao #11. Juiz helps the two counter each other's attempts to stop one another from reaching the hotel, but they both meet in the hotel room. Kuroha explains that she cuts off men's "Johnnies" and murders them as an act of revenge. Takizawa confronts Kuroha and offers to show her the love that she had not received from any man. However, he passes out from wounds he gained trying to reach the hotel. Saki follows Takizawa to the hotel to find Kuroha tending to his wounds. Kuroha reveals that her prisoner is not Ohsugi, but is in fact a wanted rapist, and muses how she could have possibly mistaken one for the other. Then using an elaborate illusion, she escapes.
Search for a Fore-Lost Journey
Takizawa wakes up to find Saki tending to his wounds, and that Kuroha had disappeared. Meanwhile, Ohsugi returns to Eden of the East, telling them that he was invited to a drinking party and had his bag stolen that night, which caused the misunderstanding. He shows his displeasure about them associating with Takizawa and leaves. He then takes a picture of Takizawa and registers to Eden's program, hoping to find out his identity. Takizawa then arrives and asks Eden if they could repair a Selecao phone (which belonged to Kondo). Hirasawa suggests he go visit "Pantsu", a computer prodigy, and sends Saki and Micchon with him to keep and eye on him. While Saki and Micchon go to the convenience store, Takizawa talks to "Pantsu" about Selecao and gets "Pantsu" to let him in. Meanwhile, Ohsugi checks on Takizawa's picture and finds out that the users all identify Takizawa by different names and aliases. Concluding that Takizawa must be some kind of criminal, he calls Hirasawa in a panic to warn Eden.
A Man Too Transient
"Pantsu" manages to recover the complete Selecao transaction history from Kondo's phone, and discovers that the Selecao were indeed responsible for Careless Monday, as well as a series of mysterious evacuations in the targetted areas beforehand that ensured there were no casualties. Takizawa was also apparently responsible for the 20,000 missing NEETs.
