    In response to an increase in heinous crimes,
[01:02] Rin
    a new movement is picking up steam in police

    So, their flamboyant arrest act
    destroyed the expressway,
[02:47] News
    resulting in partial blockage of Yamate Avenue.

    Let's hear what Manabe Youichi-san, a former

    Manabe-san, Unit 8, Japan's ACTIVE,

[03:00] Manabe
    Well, there are many factors to consider.
[03:02] Manabe
    Given that the criminals
    were armed to the teeth,
[03:05] Manabe
    you're forced to respond
    in kind, to a certain point.

    So you're saying excessive force is necessary.

[03:23] News
    We requested an interview with the police,

[03:28] News
    "Our understanding is that Unit 8 has upheld the
    law with their actions, which were blameless."

[03:32] News
    "We will refrain from publicly commenting

    Good morning.
[03:59] Asami
    Well, if no one's here,
    it's easier to snoop around.
[04:05] Kyou
    Red alert! We have an emergency sortie request
    from Okinawa's Naha Police Department.
[04:10] Kyou
    Please equip Willwear.
[04:11] Asami
    Roger.
[04:12] Asami
    Wait, why is it Kyoukai-san?
[04:20] Kyou
    Please hurry!
[04:21] Asami
    I know.
[04:24] Kyou
    Your Willwear is ready.
[04:26] Asami
    Brief me on the case while I change.
[04:28] Kyou
    Huh?
[04:29] Kyou
    Oh, uh, right...
[04:30] Kyou
    The famous aquarium was attacked.
[04:34] Asami
    Churaumi?
[04:36] Asami
    That isn't Naha's jurisdiction. It's Ishikawa's.
[04:39] Kyou
    Huh?
[04:40] Kyou
    Uh, the attackers fled to Naha Airport by sea...
[04:44] Asami
    The emergency sortie request is a lie, isn't it?
[04:47] Kyou
    Oops, you got me.
[04:50] Asami
    Why are you barging in here?!
[04:52] Kyou
    Oh, don't worry.
[04:54] Kyou
    I don't get turned on by that kind of "inner" suit.
[04:57] Asami
    That's not the issue here!
[04:59] Kyou
    I thought we should customize
    your new Wear, that's all.
[05:02] Asami
    Thanks, but no thanks!
[05:04] Kyou
    Oh, but...
[05:05] Asami
    Even without your unwanted help,
[05:07] Asami
    I've already memorized the manual!
[05:10] Kyou
    But your Wear is from the Wakaba Group—
[05:12] Asami
    I don't need you to explain it to me!
[05:14] Kyou
    Hey!
[05:15] Kyou
    Let me at least do the Wear's data graph—
[05:18] Asami
    I understand why you need the data,
[05:21] Asami
    given that you're from the Willwear association.
[05:25] Asami
    But if you're looking to customize mine,
    please take care of the battery first.
[05:29] Asami
    I don't want to go through what Sena-san did!
[05:35] Kyou
    I guess trying to force customization
    was the wrong move...

    You're here early, Asami-chan.

    morning, so I just had to rush over!
[07:23] Haruka
    Good job, Liko-chan.
[07:26] Asami
    That's the reason you're late?
[07:29] Haruka
    I got permission from the section chief.
[07:31] Haruka
    He said everyone except you would be late.

SIGN    Saitama Prefecture Oomiya Police Station
[07:38] Rin
    I'm so sorry.
[07:41] Cop
    We did request backup, so I don't want
    to make an issue of it, but...
[07:46] Rin
    Go ahead.
[07:46] Cop
    Will it always be on us to
    write the letter of apology?
[07:51] Rin
    I apologize.
[07:52] Rin
    Regulations stipulate that we always
    operate by official request, so...
[07:57] Cop
    We have a bunch of quicksand refugees
    from Tokyo, you know.
[08:01] Cop
    We're in a crunch here.
[08:02] Rin
    I am well aware of that.
[08:05] Cop2
    I believe we've previously made a point
[08:07] Cop2
    of requesting speedier arrests.
[08:10] Rin
    I apologize. The perpetrators' Willwear units
[08:13] Rin
    were modified beyond what could be foreseen.
[08:16] Cop2
    I'm not asking for excuses.
[08:18] Rin
    I am truly, truly sorry...
[08:21] Kaidou
    I chose you because
[08:23] Kaidou
    you remain calm and collected.
[08:27] Kaidou
    You don't rashly pursue justice.
[08:29] Kaidou
    You apprehend criminals within the
    bounds prescribed by the law.
[08:33] Kaidou
    That's how I'd assessed you, at least.
[08:37] Kaidou
    I understand there can be many
    unforeseen circumstances,
[08:40] Kaidou
    but I'd like you to endeavor to
    minimize collateral damage.
[08:45] Kaidou
    Our relations with the Defense Ministry
    already require a delicate touch.
[08:50] Rin
    Excuse me.
[08:57] Rin
    To hell with the lot of them...
[09:00] Ina
    Rin?
[09:02] Rin
    Oh, hey!
[09:04] Ina
    Here for the usual ritual?
[09:06] Rin
    Yeah, doing the apology circuit.
[09:08] Rin
    What about you, Inagi-kun?
[09:09] Ina
    Off to the election committee office
    for various application forms.
[09:14] Ina
    My boss might run for office.
[09:16] Rin
    Right, it's almost time for gubernatorial
    candidacy announcements.
[09:20] Ina
    Hey, do you have some free time?
[09:30] Misaki
    That's what he said I'd find...
[09:57] Benut
    There are enemies. Enemies trying to kill you.

    this side of things, anyway.

[10:47] Ina
    So, what I wanted to talk to you about—
[10:50] Rin
    Hang on, sorry.
[10:52] Rin
    Hello?
[10:52] Funa
    We have a sortie request from the Shinagawa PS.
[10:56] Funa
    The location is the Kouki Education Academy.
[10:58] Rin
    Huh?
[10:59] Funa
    Apparently, a firefighter Willwear
    is destroying the campus.
[11:07] Hachi
    This way!
[11:08] Hachi
    This way, everyone!
[11:10] Hachi
    I'm going to lower the shutters, okay?
[11:13] Teach
    O-Okay.
[11:14] Hachi
    Everyone to the gym! Hurry!
[11:16] H
    President?
[11:17] Hachi
    I'll make sure there are no
    underclassmen left behind.
[11:20] Hachi
    Yamabuki-kun, stay with the others!
[11:24] H
    President...
[11:32] Haruka
    The Willwear is Dainippon Textiles' DSE-4800.
[11:36] Haruka
    It seems to be jury-rigged with
    the Iwasaki ISR-20 module
[11:40] Haruka
    that was outlawed two years ago.
[11:44] Rin
    The Iwasaki?
[11:45] Rin
    Wasn't that developed for personnel
    working to restore quicksand districts?
[11:49] Haruka
    Yes, it was a refresher option module
    for construction-engineering Willwear.
[11:53] Haruka
    Those types typically provide
    high-oxygen air or aromatherapy,
[11:57] Haruka
    but this one utilized gray-zone narcotics
[11:59] Haruka
    to help users endure harsh working conditions.
[12:01] Rin
    I remember now.
[12:02] Rin
    I'll be there ASAP.
[12:04] Rin
    I'm close, so it should be soon.
[12:06] Rin
    Of all places, why is it at Hinata's school?
[12:09] Ina
    Tokyo might soon find
    itself in a difficult position.
[12:12] Rin
    Huh?
[12:13] Ina
    I am the secretary to a politician, after all.
[12:15] Ina
    I hear a lot of things.
[12:18] Ina
    Many factions are starting to make their moves...
[12:20] Ina
    Each with their own ideas of justice.
[12:23] Rin
    Then, all we have to do is...
[12:30] H
    President!
[12:31] H
    What are you doing here?
[12:33] Hachi
    Yamabuki-kun, you followed me?
[12:35] Hachi
    I thought I might be able to figure
    out the attacker's destination
[12:37] Hachi
    if I accessed the school's security cameras.
[12:46] Asami
    Obtained access to the security cameras.
[12:48] Asami
    Sending feed to main screen.
[12:50] Kuro
    I see someone.
[12:51] Kuro
    A hostage?
[12:52] Kuro
    Let's zoom in on a still.
[12:57] Asami
    The boss?!
[12:59] Asami
    But she's wearing...
[13:01] Kuro
    I think she mentioned being proud of having
    a much younger sister at this school.
[13:05] Kyou
    She must be real smart.
[13:07] Kyou
    It's a super elite school.
[13:10] Haruka
    The protective capsule's closing.
[13:11] Haruka
    The girl's been taken hostage!
[13:14] Funa
    To secure an optimal ejection angle,
[13:16] Funa
    the command vehicle will move to Beta 08.
[13:19] Funa
    Everyone, prepare to sortie.
[13:22] All
    Roger!
[13:36] Rin
    Hinata?
[13:37] Funa
    Yes.
[13:38] Funa
    She's trapped in the protective capsule
    attached to the attacker's Willwear.
[13:41] Rin
    What's the capsule's durability?
[13:43] Funa
    IARC rating is level 2.
[13:46] Rin
    Is there anyone else we need to rescue?
    Whatever intel you have is fine.
[13:48] Funa
    It seems most of the civilians
    have evacuated to the gym,
[13:52] Funa
    but they said they lost contact
    with a student named Hachijou.
[13:58] Rin
    Here's our strategy.
[13:59] Rin
    After incapacitating the target,
    we gain direct access
[14:03] Rin
    to the Willwear and force a system shutdown.
[14:05] Rin
    Haruka-chan, Kuroki-kun—
[14:07] Asami
    Wait!
[14:08] Rin
    What?
[14:09] Asami
    The target's Wear has an MTQ
    1.3 times that of Oscar II's.
[14:14] Asami
    There's no guarantee that
    Kuroki-san can incapacitate it.
[14:16] Rin
    We'll lure the target to the partially
    collapsed second campus building,
[14:20] Rin
    then destroy the building, burying it.
[14:22] Asami
    Not another reckless plan!
[14:23] Asami
    Your methods are too crude!
[14:25] Asami
    Besides, if you force a shutdown,
[14:29] Asami
    it'll mean cutting off the oxygen
    to the capsule's occupant!
[14:33] Asami
    If the rubble isn't cleared
    fast enough, your sister—
[14:36] Rin
    We cannot give my sister special treatment.
[14:38] Rin
    Minimizing collateral damage is our prio—
[14:42] Asami
    My Fine Familia is capable of
    incapacitating that Wear.
[14:46] Asami
    With my cutting-edge, advanced Wear unit,
[14:50] Asami
    it's possible to minimize collateral damage
    and prioritize civilian safety.
[14:55] Kyou
    Sure, it's possible.
[14:58] Asami
    I am able to maximize that possibility!
[15:01] Kuro
    Hey, it's not so easy when you're
    out there in the real world.
[15:04] Asami
    That's no problem!
[15:06] Asami
    I've cleared SS-rated simulations!
[15:11] Rin
    Fine.
[15:12] Rin
    I hereby order you, Kazari Asami,
    to sortie as Oscar VI.

[19:44] Comm
    DSE system shutoff confirmed.
[19:47] Comm
    The attacker is still alive!
[19:48] Comm
    Contact JR! There may be blackouts!
[19:51] Asami
    I... did this?
[19:51] Comm
    Urgent message from Takawa 05 to Takawa HQ.
[19:54] Comm
    Takawa HQ, acknowledged.
[19:55] Sena
    I admit I'd started to get my hopes up,
    but I guess I'll have to reassess.
[19:56] Comm
    The Saitou Building has collapsed due
    to Unit 8 action for Directive 153.
[19:59] Comm
    Backup requested.
[19:59] Kuro
    She passed, right?
[20:01] ---
    Takawa HQ to all units, cordon off the
    Saitou Building and minimize access.
[20:01] Kuro
    She adapted to unforeseen circumstances,
[20:04] Kuro
    and produced results.
[20:06] ---
    We repeat, cordon off the Saitou Building...
[20:06] Sena
    Well...
[20:11] Hachi
    Um, are you okay?
[20:15] Asami
    Oh, yes...
[20:17] H
    Thank you.
[20:19] H
    You saved me.
[20:20] Asami
    N-No problem.
[20:22] Hachi
    I'll take her to the hospital, just in case.
[20:26] Hachi
    Keep up the good work.
[20:34] Asami
    Oh, is it okay for you to be here?
[20:39] Rin
    Keep your chin up, Oscar VI.
[20:41] Rin
    That building had been evacuated.
[20:44] ---
    I see...
[20:45] Rin
    Let's go home.
[20:48] Asami
    I failed, didn't I?
[20:50] Rin
    Why?
[20:52] Asami
    Why?
[20:54] Asami
    As a police officer of justice,
    my actions were inexcusable!
[21:00] Rin
    Don't worry.
[21:02] Rin
    Police officers aren't just.
[21:04] Asami
    Huh?
[21:05] Rin
    It's fine for you to be just.
[21:07] Rin
    But what we should protect is the law.
[21:11] Rin
    Don't bring personal justice into the workplace.
[21:17] Rin
    You'll be disciplined in due course.
[21:25] Mutos
    That proved more fruitful than anticipated.
[21:28] Mutos
    Perhaps we'll throw more obstacles at Unit 8.
[21:31] Mutos
    Perhaps they will become our enemies...
[21:34] Mutos
    Enemies?
[21:36] Mutos
    Enemies of Logos?
[21:40] Mutos
    Talk about clichéd.
[21:47] Rin
    Hinata, are you okay?
[21:49] H
    Oh, Sis...
[21:51] H
    Sorry for the scare.
[21:52] Rin
    I was so shocked to get a call
    from the police station.
[21:56] H
    I'm sorry.
[21:58] H
    But I'm okay.
[22:00] H
    Oh, there is one thing I'm worried about.
[22:02] Rin
    What?
[22:04] H
    Who's going to make you breakfast tomorrow?
[22:09] Rin
    Silly!
