It's super creepy because in the movie, Tetsuo gains increasingly god-like powers and kills many people in a fit of petty, vengeful wrath. Then, he essentially becomes a god and is taken to another reality by Akira, which he creates a universe for.

comics aren't real

i can't find the company's website, but they are an advertising company apparently. that would make sense for "tidings"

But Black Tidings is real. When I mentioned 2020 Olympics and Takeda and Japan's expenditure, I am referring to real life events. Japan really did give a huge sum of money to a secretive organization known as Black Tidings.

Then, it was announced the Olympics would be held in Tokyo in 2020.

No one has any theories on this?

Thanks for sharing

I did Google this - agreed it's a weird name and it looks like the company is into a lot of shady stuff on the sports side of things.

But I think it's a mistake to connect this with Akira in any way yet. That said, I wouldn't mind knowing a little more about this company and what else they've been involved in.

Maybe it's a type of propaganda, like making Mario the mascot for the Olympics, I don't believe they're planning a vengeance against the world, maybe it's just making references to a world known anime film

it may be a communication technology organization, with the tech and algorithms neeeded to sanitize and reditec flow of imformation coming in and out of japan.
its to be expected. just my theory.

None of my friends have ever heard of akira, even the anime kids. It seems like it was a 90's kids blockbuster anime section thing.

So I doubt most of the world would get the joke if japan. Blew, itself, up?

Who makes the universe?

Tetsuo I believe, I believe Akira just brings him to the alternate reality and kinda guides him

The movie and the manga were made by the same guy so you can't really say which is canon

A movie set in a dystopian 2019 where the 2020 Olympics is held in Tokyo and a company with a ominous name like black tidings being investigated in bribing to ensure the Olympics is held in Tokyo.

Some good conspiracy shit going on here

This is quite unsettling to be honest.

Are you fucking retarded? The manga is canon, the movie is a super shortened version of the manga with shitty changes, the fucking writer himself said that the manga is absolute canon you bumbling fuck.
