Most of the Japanese cults such as Aum Shinrikyo emerged with the rapid rise of Japan's economy in the last century. It is worth noting that most of their followers are above the middle class of society. In other words, believers are rich and have a higher level of education. Take, for example, the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995. "Hideo Murai" is the chief graduate of the Department of Physics of Osaka University and a scientist among the main prisoners. "Seiichi Endo" is a doctoral student at Kyoto University School of Medicine, focusing on virology and genetics.

Akira quotes

  • Tetsuo (2001 Pioneer dub): Kaneda? What are you doing in here?

    Kaneda (2001 Pioneer dub): Tetsuo! Are you okay? I'm here for the rescue! Hurry up! What are you? Stupid? If we don't get outta here, those...

    [several army soldiers enter the room]

    Soldier: There he is! Capture him!

    Tetsuo (2001 Pioneer dub): You keep away!

    [Tetsuo uses his telekinetic powers to forcibly blast the soldiers away by lifting the floor, which also throws Kaneda hurtfully]

    Kei (2001 Pioneer dub): Kaneda!

    Tetsuo (2001 Pioneer dub): Oh, that's right! I forgot you were there. There, do you see, Kaneda? I won't be needing you to come to the rescue me ever again, okay? From now on, I'll be in charge of the heroics. So, if you need any saving, just ask, Kanny.

    Kaneda (2001 Pioneer dub): Damn it, Tetsuo! Who the hell do you think you're talking to, ya moron?

    Tetsuo (2001 Pioneer dub): Ha! You don't like what you're hearing, do ya? Makes you angry? So what are you gonna do now? Well, Kaneda? What are you gonna do now?

  • Kai (2001 Pioneer dub): Something seemed strange the second I saw his face. It's odd. He was wearing what looked like a white hospital gown. He acted like a different person. Yamagata asked him if he was really Tetsuo or if he was someone else.
