He was placed in the jars and frozzen.Years later, they found tetsuo, a kid that had teh same basic brain wave patterns as Akira,a nd so they tried again. this time, he did not fifnish the treatment and went on a rampage.  They theorized that if he had finished, he woul be unstoppable- but his powers (like Anikin's) made him arrogance, which led to his downfall.The three wrinkly gnome like things were people that underwent the treatment.  they finished, but since their gift was not as great as tetsuo's, they were no match for him.  Tetsuo's everygtrowing power could not be controled by him or the drugs (as the brainwaves showed when it became rapid and unpredictable, and then ceased) which made him explode into a blob.  Th ethree gnomes then called upon the spirit of Akira to save them and he destroyed tetsuo.That s my take on the story.  great movie- I love the story and animation.  No other anime has come close to the level of Akira- my fav is the bike scene with the tail lights leaving a streak as they sped by...</blockquote>
