Movie
Description
Akira Takizawa awakens naked outside the White House with complete amnesia, possessing only a gun and a unique cell phone. This phone belongs to Seleção No. 9, holding 8.2 billion yen in digital currency and connecting to a concierge service named Juiz, who fulfills requests for a fee. The phrase "noblesse oblige" is printed on the device. His passport identifies him as Akira Takizawa, born January 7, 1989, residing in Tokyo's Toyosu district, making him 21 years old.
Initially suspecting he might be a terrorist due to weapons and fake passports found in his Washington D.C. apartment, he learns he is part of a game orchestrated by Mr. Outside. Twelve individuals, the Seleção, each receive 10 billion yen to "save Japan." If a Seleção exhausts their funds or uses them selfishly, the anonymous Supporter eliminates them. His remaining balance of 8.2 billion yen indicates prior spending before his amnesia.
He grew up in Manhattan, where his mother, Aya Iwashita, frequently sent him to movies alone, fostering a deep love for cinema. They moved back to Japan, but his mother disappeared while shopping, abandoning him. He became a newspaper delivery boy using a moped, encountering Saizo Ato (later revealed as Mr. Outside), who deemed him worthy of becoming a Seleção and gave him the Noblesse phone.
As Seleção No. 9, he played a pivotal role in the "Careless Monday" incident where ten missiles struck Japan without casualties. Discovering fellow Seleção Ryo Yuki's plan via the phone's tracker, he mobilized 20,000 NEETs online, disguising them as emergency workers to evacuate targets. To protect the NEETs from backlash after looting occurred, he falsely claimed responsibility as the terrorist. He used Juiz to transport the NEETs to Dubai and relocated to Washington D.C., staging his apartment to fit the terrorist profile before erasing his own memories via Juiz as part of his sacrifice.
In Washington D.C., he meets Saki Morimi during a White House security incident. She provides him with her coat, scarf, and hat, and they return to Japan together. He exhibits kindness, charisma, and perceptiveness, though his eccentric behavior and occasional manic episodes unsettle others. He demonstrates high intelligence, evading police by burning passports and obtaining new ones. His primary residence is an abandoned, camera-monitored shopping mall in Toyosu, purchased via Juiz.
He encounters several Seleção while regaining his memories. Seleção No. 4, Yūsei Kondō, beats him severely and steals his phone, but Takizawa retrieves it after Kondō is fatally stabbed by his wife. Before dying, Kondō warns him about the game's dangers. Seleção No. 5, Dr. Hajime Hiura, poisons him. After recovering, Takizawa offers half his remaining funds to support Hiura's hospital for the elderly, but Hiura is later eliminated by the Supporter. Takizawa confronts Seleção No. 1 (Daiju Mononobe) and No. 10 (Ryō Yūki), who reveal his past self-sacrifice and confirm Mr. Outside as Saizo Ato. Juiz is revealed to be an AI housed across twelve supercomputers.
When 60 additional missiles threaten Japan, he rallies Saki and her friends ("Eden") to intercept them via Juiz and the JSDF. Knowing his false terrorist identity is unsustainable, he requests Juiz make him the "King of Japan," triggering another memory erasure. Before this, he slips his phone to Saki. Six months later, Saki searches for him while he is mythologized as the "Air King." He reappears in New York, amnesiac again, but recovers his identity after reuniting with Saki. They return to Japan to confront rumors orchestrated by Seleção No. 2 (Jintaro Tsuji) alleging Takizawa is the illegitimate son of the deceased Prime Minister Iinuma.
In Japan, he finds his mother, Aya, running a bar. She acknowledges a past relationship with Iinuma but does not confirm Takizawa's paternity. Mononobe targets the Juiz supercomputers, destroying several, including the Supporter's. Seleção No. 11, Kuroha Diana Shiratori, sacrifices her Juiz unit to protect Takizawa. He ultimately addresses Japan via the "Airship" app, roleplaying as a terrorist to encourage societal self-reliance. His birth name remains unrevealed, though he temporarily adopts "Akira Iinuma."
Physically, he has brown eyes, black hair, and stands 172 cm tall. He initially wears a khaki green M-1965 field jacket, jeans, and boots, later switching to a hooded green coat in winter. In the films, he wears a suit and later a light grey tracksuit, reverting to his original outfit during the final confrontation.
