    It's used primarily for dubbing

    The criminals have taken it over
[10:11] F
    and issued a series of demands to
    all video production companies.
SIGN    Our Souls Cry Out
    
    A voice actor is, as the name implies, an actor who performs with
    their voice. In other words, they are professionals whose entire value
    depends on their speaking skill. But lately, it's been popular to use
    celebrities as voice actors, due to their names or looks. This is a serious
    matter. True cinema fans don't want to hear crappy voice acting!
    Companies attempt to appeal to the masses, based on name alone.
    I demand an end to casting that ruins work in the name of profit.
[10:19] A
    Huh?
[10:20] F
    You know how long it's been common
[10:23] F
    for movies to suddenly switch to using
    famous celebrities for Japanese dubs?
[10:27] F
    This is probably for PR purposes,
[10:30] F
    but popularity doesn't necessarily
    equal acting talent,
[10:35] F
    so I suppose they just can't accept it.
[10:38] H
    Well, I do understand how they feel.
[10:41] A
    Th-They're holed up over that?
[10:45] F
    I don't know if they're confident
[10:47] F
    that they can escape, or don't
    care if they're captured.
[10:50] F
    But the criminals are more
    serious than we'd thought.
[11:16] F
    In addition to the Willwear on the roof,
[11:18] F
    many bombs that respond to sound
    are around the building.
[11:23] F
    All citizens in a one-kilometer
    radius have been evacuated,
[11:27] F
    but the police can't get close.
[11:30] S
    We'll try to ID the criminals,
[11:31] S
    as well as where they got their weapons, but—
[11:35] A
    No, there's no need!
[11:37] A
    President, you're a civilian now,
    so don't force yourself.
[11:41] A
    I will stand in for the chief and
    handle the investigation.

    I'll teach them a lesson later.
[13:16] S
    So in the end, she tried all of their plans?
[13:20] F
    All were bold plans, and quite interesting, but...
[13:25] S
    But?
[13:27] Gu
    Ultra long-range sniping failed
[13:30] Gu
    when they shot the sniper first.
[13:32] Gu
    The air assault above the building
[13:35] Gu
    was noticed and shot down.
[13:38] Gu
    They tried to enter from below,
[13:41] Gu
    but there were bombs there, too.
[13:44] Gu
    So they tried to silently sneak up, but...
[13:49] Gu
    Of course, they couldn't beat
    a criminal in Willwear.
[13:53] Gu
    The plot to psychologically damage
    them with laser sights
[13:57] Gu
    just barely succeeded, but...
[14:00] Gu
    That's just being a jerk, isn't it?
[14:05] A
    I'm sorry!
[14:07] A
    All these failures are

    This is a residential district.
[18:34] Gu
    Who has to pay for this?
[18:36] K
    Has she gotten worse?
[18:38] S
    I think this is who she always really was.
[18:42] F
    My song is destroying everyone's city...
[18:46] Gu
    That got rid of all the bombs, right?
[18:50] A
    That's why you're a failure of a human.
[18:52] A
    Just in case, everyone change your voice mode.
[18:55] All
    Yes, Brain.

    Security Bureau HQ, Special
    Public Safety Fifth Section,
[19:00] Gi
    Third Mobile Assault Unit 9, heading out!
[19:04] Gi
    Heading out!
[19:08] Gi
    You can't screw with us!
[19:16] Gi
    Wh-Where did they go?
[19:19] Gi
    Too slow!
[19:26] Gi
    Formation 9!
[19:28] Gi
    Roger!
[19:31] Gi
    Take this!
[19:38] Gi
    Gotcha!
[19:39] Gi
    N-No...
[19:41] Gi
    They just ran in without thinking of the damage...
SIGN    Activate?
[19:45] Gi
    In the end, I want to hear your voice!
[19:57] Gi
    I told you there was a chance the criminal
[20:00] Gi
    would self-destruct and that you
    need to be prepared for it.
[20:04] Gi
    You're slacking off.
[20:05] K
    Splendid.
[20:07] R
    That was a little too flashy, though.
[20:11] F
    Well, as long as they were able
[20:13] F
    to protect the town.
[20:18] Gi
    Get inside the police's patrol car.
[20:21] Gi
    Everyone's waiting.
[20:22] Gu
    That voice... A-Amu-chan?
[20:24] Gi
    I changed my voice, just like you did.
[20:27] Gi
    Brain, since we all have this voice,
    let's do that thing to finish it!
[20:31] Gi
    Yeah, we all talked about it.
[20:34] Gi
    That thing?
[20:35] Gi
    That thing!
[20:37] Gi
    Well, okay.
[20:39] Gi
    All right, let's go.
[20:40] Gi
    Everyone...
[20:42] Gi
    No...
[20:43] Gi
    Don't.
[20:43] Gi
    Miracle!
[20:51] E
    I see...
[20:53] E
    I can see why she's nicknamed
    the "God of Destruction."
[20:55] M
    She truly is a legendary police officer.
[20:58] K
    Yes, she's the officer who's written the most
[21:01] K
    letters of apology in police force history.
[21:04] K
    I don't come even close.
[21:07] K
    She truly is great.
[21:08] S
    You don't think she's just getting worse?
[21:11] H
    She really did get the worst parts
    of both Kuroki-san and Sena-san.
[21:15] Both
    She did not!
[21:20] F
    We had no idea that Shinmei Amu's catchphrase
[21:23] F
    was the bomb's activation frequency.
[21:26] A
    I'm sorry.
[21:28] Gu
    Did you know that
[21:30] Gu
    Shinmei Amu left the show not because
    the company asked her to,
[21:34] Gu
    but for her own reasons?
[21:36] F
    Yes, I saw the story in the media this morning.

    Shinmei Amu Requested Release from Production Company
[21:41] Gu
    I have a high opinion of you,
[21:43] Gu
    but I want you to understand that
    I can't cover for you forever.
[21:47] F
    Yes, I'm terribly sorry.
[21:50] Gu
    And about what Yamabuki-kun
    and Kuroki-kun said to me...
[21:56] Gu
    Permission should be granted.
[21:57] F
    Thank you.
[21:59] Gu
    And with this incident, too?
[22:00] F
    Yes, they may be involved.
[22:04] Gu
    He is a permanent surveillance target.
[22:06] Gu
    If Kuroki-kun becomes his guardian,
[22:09] Gu
    then if something happens,
[22:10] Gu
    I want you to be aware that it will
    be a problem for all of Unit 8.
[22:14] F
    We're aware.

    Except it's actually Kazari Asami.
[23:55] F
    Not bad, Kazari-kun. That was identical.

    Really? That makes me happy.

    More importantly, what's next?

    The next episode is, um... Jirou-kun does a lot!
