Second issue is even better, Dad.

(dramatic music)
- Hey! - Hey!
(children giggling)
(dramatic music)
(speaking in foreign language)
- Okay, hold on, let's see.
See, this is the first issue.
I need the second issue.
Do you have the second issue?
(speaking in foreign language)
- Okay.
(dramatic music)
Damn, you guys got everything here.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Do you have it?
- Sorry.
- Okay, so you don't have it.

- Hello, my name is Yuki.
(speaking in foreign language)
- My English is perfect.
(speaking in foreign language)
(bouncy music)
- Hi, my name is Yuki.
- What's up Yuki?
- I have a question.
Where are you from? - Where am I from?
- Yes.
- I'm from Los Angeles. - Los Angeles, I love LA!
Wow, great, great!
- Where are you from?
- Where I'm from? - Yeah.
- Downstairs. - Downstairs?
- Yeah, what's your name? - I'm Rob.
- Lob, Lob, Lob?
- Almost, Rob, like R-O-B, Rob.
- Lob, Lob, Lob - Just R-O-B, Rob.
- Lob. - All right man, close enough.
- Lob, Lob. - Okay.
- Do you like manga? - I love manga.
Our hero walks through an ancient gate up a long set
of stone stairs.
There it is, The Lost Temple,
half destroyed from the robot battle years ago.
And now, standing before the doorway,
he faces the ultimate decision.
So, what would you do?
- You go in.
You must go in Rob, Rob, Rob!
(patrons cheering)
- Well listen, he goes in, but that's 'cause he's brave.
And look, inside it's super dingy and dark and scary.
(speaking in foreign language)
- [Rob] But there's something about it.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Something special and it feels like he just has
to go in there, so he does.
- And next, what happens?
- Then it ends.
- End, but hero, what does he do?
- I don't know.
I mean, I really have no clue.
- No clue? - No clue.
- No clue. - No clue.
- I have four days left in Tokyo.
So I have to find that second issue.
I have to find out what happens.
- You came to Japan just to find a manga?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, wow, yeah, rock and roll, rock and roll, wow!
(speaking in foreign language)
(patrons cheering)
- What am I doing?
What am I doing?
(speaking in foreign language)
You need second issue, man.
- I'm gonna find the second issue!
- [Patrons] Yeah!
(dramatic music)
- Osamu Tezuka, the first time I saw
that name was on my dad's bookshelf.
I was really young and I snuck into his office.
And there were probably over 100 inches of "Astro boy"
and Tezuka's name was everywhere.
I mean, everywhere.
One, I need two, just two, anywhere please?
(speaking in foreign language)
- See, my dad was making these trips out
to Japan every two years and we thought it was for work,
but actually he's just buying mangas.
- No.
- And I know that now.
Damn, he never told me.
(speaking in foreign language)
- And I'd like to think that this was his favorite.
And maybe this was my "Astro Boy."
This is just a dead end.
It goes nowhere.
There's no what comes next
because there is no next.
I mean, it's pointless.
(speaking in foreign language)
- I looked everywhere.
I mean, everywhere.
All over LA, the internet,
every damn shop in Tokyo.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Just give me a sign.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Am I an idiot?
(speaking in foreign language)
- I mean, really am I?
- No clue. - No clue.
- Yeah, no clue.
- Hey, Rob!
What time is your flight?
- 1:00 AM.
- You got to visit Japan.
Not so bad.
- Yeah well, I didn't come to sight see Yuki.
- I think your father would be happy with you.
- Yeah well, you didn't know my father.
Neither did I, so
- I think I know what happens in second issue.
- Oh yeah, what's that?
- I think the hero takes Rob back to Los Angeles.
- Back, well, he's never been to LA Yuki.
- I think maybe the hero is from an LA.
(dramatic music)
(speaking in foreign language)
- [Man] Needle haystack.
- What?
- Needle haystack.
(speaking in foreign language)
- I don't, I don't.
- Needle haystack.
- Needle in a haystack,
like you don't have it.
- Needle hay stack.
- Yeah, okay. (somber music)
(speaking in foreign language)

(mid tempo music)
- [Rob] Our hero walks through an ancient gate.
(dramatic music)
Half destroyed from the robot battle years ago.
(speaking in foreign language)
- Earthquake.
(speaking in foreign language)
(dramatic music)
- [Woman] Why did you come to Japan Rob?
- It's something my dad wanted me to do.
- Do you have the manga?
- I've been looking for the next one.
You don't know where I could find it do you?
- I do. - [Rob] Where?
- He wait for you inside.
- Who?
(dramatic music)
- What happens?
- Then it ends. (mid tempo music)
(trap door creaks open)
(trap door creaks shut)
(engine roaring)
(speaking in foreign language)
- Woo hoo!
- [Rob's Dad] Second issue is even better, Dad.
(upbeat music)
