Tank Chair (2026) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
ROAD CLOSED
Were they doing construction here?
Dunno.
Who the hell are they?!
Goro Arashiyama.
He's the boss of a robbery gang.
This is the third time
our trucks have been attacked.
I want you to get rid of this guy.
The police are no help.
In this town,
you have to put out your own fires.
Hm
So just how strong is this gorilla?
Huh? Ah
Repeated genetic doping makes him
ten times stronger than a regular gorilla.
He can crush steel trucks
with his bare hands,
and he's killed over 50 people
from our gang alone.
Wow!
Hm That's pretty impressive.
'Kay then, we'll take him on.
Uh, er
R Really? Good to hear.
I'll need the full payment
up front, as usual.
You come across
any other dangerous dudes, let me know!
Bye!
Who the hell is that girl?
Shizuka Taira. She's an assassin broker.
That's all I know about her.
For some reason,
she only takes on the most dangerous jobs.
CROAKEBUKURO CLINIC
It's best not to dig too deep into it.
I don't know who's backing her
But they're not exactly normal.
NURSING DEPARTMENT BULLETIN BOARD
Hey, that girl's here
visiting her brother again.
Oh, the guy in Room 13?
SALINE
They say he's been completely unresponsive
since the accident.
She's so devoted.
Nagi.
Hey, Nagi.
Your adorable lil sis is here!
Dummy. Dummy.
'Kay then
Guess there's no other way.
I'm gonna kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
I'm gonna kill you!
Die!
KILL
Good morning, Shizuka.
Nagi
It's time to get to work.
ARASHIYAMA
NO ENTRY
Ugh, what a pain in the ass.
Hey, quit slacking.
I'm off to buy some smokes.
Don't be gone too long.
If we don't get this cash counted
by morning, the boss'll give us hell.
Wh Who the hell is he?!
An assassin?!
In a wheelchair?!
It figures the gorilla's lackeys
would all look like dumb monkeys!
SNAP
Die!
KILL KILL KILL
Eat this!
What's with those moves?!
A Anyway, he can't get up here
in a wheelchair.
Keep shooting!
You think you can run?
You're heading for a wall!
Huh?!
A wheelchair, climbing a wall?!
Just how strong are his arms?!
Whoa! Ha, ha, you're killing it!
Your upper-body moves are even sharper
than when you were on active duty.
But your opponents are way too weak
This probably won't really count as rehab.
THREE YEARS AGO
The bullet made mincemeat of his brain.
It's a wonder he's even alive.
Forget standing or walking again.
The odds of him ever
regaining consciousness are slim to none.
For real?
My brother
Nagi Taira
He was the strongest assassin in the city.
But one day, I was taken hostage
Nagi killed them all, but
It's my fault
I'm sorry
An assassin
who can't even kill a mosquito, huh.
Die.
KILL
Shizuka Where are we?
Was it his instinct as an assassin?
When I focused my killing intent
in his direction,
his body came back to life
for a brief time.
That's why I believe
When he's exposed
to extreme killing intent
Nagi will become his old self again.
Okay, next up is our real target.
Let's go for Goro!
Let's hope he doesn't disappoint us.
Here we go!
Amazing
Your tough physique more than makes up
for you being in a wheelchair.
And the way you move
It's truly commendable.
I'll add you to the collection
around my neck!
How is he?
That gorilla sure talks a lot.
Underwhelming.
What?!
He's playing with me.
He's not really trying to kill me.
Oh that's what you mean
His lackeys get killed, and he doesn't
even care? What a piece of work.
I guess it's time to bring "that" out.
"That," huh? It wears me out, though.
If you don't do it properly,
you won't get better.
Alright.
Huh?
Huh?
Get back here!
Where'd he go?
Wh What's that?
Sorry to bother you.
What's that noise?
Tank Chair Mark VII.
"The Heavy."
TANK CHAIR MARK VII: "THE HEAVY"
This is a wheelchair?!
What the hell is this thing?!
H He's pushing me back
Just with his arms
No way! How's he pushing me?!
Come on. Get serious, or get splattered.
- You bastard!
I'll kill you.
Hah? Can't hear ya! Speak up!
I'll kill you!
Put some feeling into it!
That's all ya got?!
More! More!
See, you can do it if you try!
Come on, try harder!
Come on, I believe in you, oog oog!
I I'll kill youuu!
KILL KILL KILL
KILL
Thank you That's some good medicine.
He's upping the power?
Nice work.
Oh, yeah.
I heard that game is getting a remake.
Really? Hang on, which one?
Um, you know, that one
where you wipe out your enemies.
Huh? That's not much to go on.
More importantly,
how are your grades lately?
Huh?
Don't "huh?" me.
Don't worry about me.
Just make sure you go to school.
Ugh
Live a normal life, at least.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh! By the way, lately, I
I guess time's up.
I just
want us to be able to talk normally again
like siblings do.
I'll keep finding people to kill
until the day Nagi gets back to normal.
