The sunrises on another day, Tokuma and I head for J-World where the world of Shonen Jump awaits. The cast of Naruto welcomes us on screen and I feel at home. In the center of the room lied a panel where you can tap a character and he/she will say something. After five minutes of playing with it, we are left with a few choices: One Piece, Naruto, or DBZ.
"Konoha here I come!" I said heading to their doors.
Tokuma follows me there and so many memories of Naruto flash back. I was a little kid at Disney World! When I see someone use summoning jutsu, I head to the rock and do the same. I end up getting Katsuyu and I yell, "Shannaro!" That is Sakura's catchphrase for those who don't know. When we come across a Naruto mascot, I get a picture taken with him and boy it felt amazing.
"I think I died and went to heaven." I said about to tear up.
"Me too." Tokuma agreed.
After we finished exploring Konoha, we head to the DBZ area. Some props from the anime were displayed and even a temple with halls of cells from the show was there. Tokuma couldn't process it all! I didn't quite grasp it because I'm not a DBZ fan, but it was cool nonetheless.
Walking down the temple, Tokuma geeks out at every animation cell displaying an important scene from the anime. Once we reach the bottom, a cloud to pose on for a photo lied in front of us. Tokuma got on and I had the camera ready.
The One Piece area was cool too, but none of us had seen the anime. The skeleton playing the guitar cracked me up and I couldn't resist filming it. A Luffy mascot waved at the camera and gave us a high five. The whole setup there was amazing, if I watched the anime I'd be geeking out.
Around 12:00 PM I was getting hungry so we got some lunch there. I get Raman Naruto style minus the egg because like Mario I don't like eggs. Boy it was tasty with the pork, broth, and spices. Tokuma got the same order only with a different drink than mine. Once we were done, we got a few Gachapon items, played a few games, and left.
"Tokuma, look!" I gasped. Just outside J-World stood the SOS Brigade and they sounded like them too. Their voices were dead on along with their costumes. These guys must be serious cosplayers, or are they?
"Hey there!" I yelled.
"What do you want?" Haruhi asked rather mad.
"Oh, uh I just wanted to say you guys are amazing cosplayers."
Everyone looked confused: they didn't know what I was talking about. "Pardon me, but we aren't cosplayers: unless you count Mikuru." Kyon said. This blew my mind! Either they are trying to trick me or they are the real deal.
"You guys are pulling my leg! There's no way you guys are the SOS Brigade." I laughed.
"Is that an insult?" Harui asked raising her voice.
"Calm down, I'm sure there's a reason." Mikuru said.
"From where we come from, you guys are part of an anime called 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'." Tokuma added.
The gang was stunned to hear such words: in fact Haruhi began to look happy.
"You mean in your country they made an anime about us?" Haruhi asked.
"Well, it's here too. This is where anime originates right?" I asked.
"Are you trying to tell us you guys are really the SOS Brigade?" Tokuma asked.
"Yes!"
Tokuma and I were lost for words. How did they get here into the real world? Maybe we're in their world or vise versus. If so, how did we get here and why?
"Since you guys are real, how did Tokuma and I get here?" I asked.
"Good question, this is a strange phenomenon." Haruhi pondered.
"You could have walked through a dimensional portal without knowing." Koizumi thought.
"Perhaps, the best way to know is your latest technology."
By the looks of Akihabara, it's got old signs from 2009. This can conclude that we are in Haruhi's time, but I must find more evidence. On our way there, Tokuma and I introduced ourselves. It would be rude to not do so. When we arrive at their club room, the old computer stands right before my eyes along with five laptops from the computer club. Not to mention the flip phones kids are carrying around. Around this time the iPhones are really expensive and not many can afford it.
"I think we traveled through time and space." I gasped.
