[00:08] Asami
    Aren't I the odd one out?
[00:11] Asami
    Everyone else is male...
[00:13] Funa
    Now, now.
[00:14] Funa
    It was fate that we ran into
    each other at the station.
[00:16] Funa
    Please stick around a little longer.
[00:18] Asami
    Thanks to you, my first day
    off in a while is ruined.
[00:21] Asami
    You're this close to workplace harassment.
[00:25] Funa
    Kazari-kun...
[00:26] Asami
    What?
[00:27] Funa
    I'm really excited right now. Like a little boy.
[00:31] Asami
    That makes it closer to sexual harassment.
[00:35] Funa
    It's starting.
[00:50] Crowd
    Morgan! Drew! Morgan! Drew!
[00:55] Asami
    What are those?
[01:10] Funa
    Look, Kazari-kun!
[01:12] Funa
    Drew and Morgan.
[01:15] Funa
    They are Japan's world-class giant robots!
[01:19] Asami
    Huh?
[01:28] Asami
    In response to an increase in heinous crimes,
[01:30] Asami
    a new movement is picking up steam in police
    and security forces around the world.
[01:36] ---
    This is the story of the services
    performed by ACTIVE in Japan.
SIGN    File 6: Dreams Beyond the Twilight
[02:56] Funa
    I see...
SIGN    Special Exhibit
    Robots of Legend
    Howls of Steel
[02:58] Funa
    And here I was hoping you'd become a fellow fan.
[03:01] Asami
    When you're from a different generation,
    different things have nostalgic value.
[03:05] Funa
    Nostalgic value?
[03:07] Funa
    Japan used to be at the
    bleeding edge of robotics,
[03:10] Funa
    and their expertise with giant robots,
    in particular, was unparalleled.
[03:16] Funa
    You could say Drew and Morgan symbolize that.
[03:21] Funa
    Actually,
[03:22] Funa
    many years ago, I once rode on Drew's palm.
[03:27] Asami
    You did?
[03:29] Funa
    Aren't you jealous?
[03:30] Asami
    But why was it necessary for them
    to appear out of the water?
[03:35] Funa
    Because that's how it was
[03:37] Funa
    traditionally done in anime.
[03:39] Asami
    Huh? Anime?
[03:41] Funa
    Back in the day, there were lots
    of anime series with robots.
[03:44] Funa
    Kids who loved that stuff grew up
[03:47] Funa
    and worked to make their dreams
    of developing robots come true.
[03:51] Funa
    Their dreams fueled an entire genre's growth.
[03:54] Asami
    Is that seriously true?
[03:56] Funa
    Growing up, my dream was
[03:58] Funa
    to become a robot pilot.
[04:01] Asami
    Huh...
[04:04] Funa
    These are the scientists and small factory
    artisans who devoted their lives
[04:08] Funa
    to giant-robot development.
[04:10] Asami
    Small factories?
[04:11] Funa
    Without their superior technique
[04:13] Funa
    and passion for their work,
[04:17] Funa
    Drew and Morgan would have
    never seen the light of day.
[04:22] Funa
    This was a while ago,
[04:24] Funa
    but I once rode on Drew's palm—
[04:26] Asami
    You already told me that.
[04:28] Funa
    Ah.
SIGN    Twilight Technology
[04:29] Asami
    But in the end, giant robots were...
[04:32] Funa
    Yes.
[04:33] Funa
    Though it was hoped they'd be
    optimal for dangerous work,
[04:35] Funa
    such as construction or excavation,
    or for disaster relief,
[04:40] Funa
    fuel inefficiency was their weakness.
[04:43] Funa
    And the damning strike was...
[04:45] Asami
    Willwears.
[04:46] Funa
    Right. With greater functionality
    and cost effectiveness,
[04:49] Funa
    the Willwears' emergence
    sealed the robots' fate.
[04:53] Funa
    Development of giant humanoid
    robots went rapidly into decline.
[04:56] Funa
    The final blow was the
    Third Quicksand Phenomenon.
SIGN    The Third Quicksand Phenomenon
[05:00] Asami
    The Kanto Bottomless Belt, right?
[05:02] Funa
    Yes.
[05:03] Funa
    The area with a high
    small-factory concentration
[05:06] Funa
    is now an evacuation zone.
[05:08] Asami
    Can they still move?
[05:10] Funa
    Morgan can.
[05:12] Funa
    But they couldn't figure out
    what was wrong with Drew.
[05:16] Funa
    The technology's too old.
[05:17] Guard
    Hey!
[05:18] Guard
    Back away from the railing!
[05:19] Guard
    It's not safe.
[05:21] Guard
    Hey!
[05:22] ---
    Jeez...
[05:23] Guard
    It's that geezer again.
[05:24] Old
    The rivets are crying.
[05:26] Old
    The rivets are crying...
[05:26] Guard
    Are you okay? Are you hurt?
[05:28] Guard
    We've told you many times.
[05:29] Guard
    The rivets are crying...
[05:30] Funa
    What's the matter?
[05:32] Guard
    Oh, he's from a nearby hospice.
[05:35] Funa
    Hospice?
[05:36] Guard
    This isn't his first time here.
[05:38] Guard
    We keep warning him, but...
[05:40] Guard
    Well, he's quite advanced in years.
[05:43] Guard
    Let's go, Grandpa.
[05:44] Funa
    Wait a minute.
[05:46] Funa
    Are you, by chance, Dr. Kasumigaseki?
[05:51] Asami
    You know who this is?
[05:53] Funa
    I'm certain that he's the father
    of Drew and Morgan...
[05:57] Asami
    Huh?
[06:00] Funa
    Dr. Kasumigaseki!
SIGN    Nursing Home
    Light of Musashi
[06:09] Staff
    On good days, he can recall a lot.
[06:12] Staff
    That's when he's absolutely amazing!
[06:15] Staff
    He'll take apart broken TVs and
    vacuum cleaners in a flash,
[06:18] Staff
    and fix them like magic!
[06:20] Asami
    Does he have any family?
[06:22] Staff
    No, he doesn't seem to.
[06:24] Staff
    But I think he has a visitor sometimes,
[06:27] Staff
    one of his old colleagues.
[06:29] Kobayashi
    Yes, that would be me.
[06:31] Kobayashi
    I'm the only one who lives nearby now.
[06:35] Funa
    I thought Dr. Kasumigaseki was still tasked
[06:38] Funa
    with Drew and Morgan's maintenance,
[06:41] Funa
    even after robot development was canceled.
[06:45] Kobayashi
    It was the government.
[06:47] Kobayashi
    When the area around his factory became
    a designated evacuation zone,
[06:51] Kobayashi
    the government confiscated the robots.
[06:55] Kobayashi
    I heard it was some moneymaking
    scheme by the officials.
[06:59] Funa
    Where did the artisans involved
    in robot development go?
[07:04] Kobayashi
    They switched to careers in industries
[07:06] Kobayashi
    where they could still apply their skills,
    like rail transport and aeronautics.
[07:10] Kobayashi
    Just like I did.
[07:12] Kobayashi
    These clocks are becoming bygone artifacts,
[07:15] Kobayashi
    but I do get repair requests once in a while.
[07:17] Funa
    I see.
[07:19] Kobayashi
    We...
[07:21] Kobayashi
    We were all putting our hearts and
    souls into careers we believed in.
[07:25] Kobayashi
    We never thought we'd see
    a whole field disappear.
[07:29] Kobayashi
    Now I wonder what our dreams even were...
[07:38] Funa
    I'm sorry to have kept you so long.
[07:40] Funa
    You can go now, Kazari-kun.
[07:43] Asami
    What about you, Funasaka-san?
[07:44] Funa
    I'll ask around to see if Dr. Kasumigaseki
    can maintain those robots again.
[07:47] Funa
    There's nothing to lose.
[07:49] Asami
    You really want to go that far?
[07:51] Funa
    He is a great scientist and a national treasure.
[07:55] Funa
    That isn't the only reason, though.
[08:04] Funa
    Back then, I was sneaking into the factory
[08:07] Funa
    almost every night because I wanted to see Drew.
[08:10] Funa
    But...
[08:15] YFuna
    I-It moved!
[08:16] Kasu
    You're trespassing. I'm calling the police.
[08:21] Kasu
    You're the one who's been sneaking into
    the factory every night, aren't you?
[08:24] YFuna
    Well, yeah. The security here sucks.
[08:27] YFuna
    Lemme go, mister.
[08:28] Kasu
    Don't call me "mister."
[08:30] Kasu
    I'm a doctor.
[08:31] Kasu
    Dr. Kasumigaseki.
[08:32] YFuna
    I love robots!
[08:35] YFuna
    Just once in my life, I'd love to pilot one!
[08:37] Kasu
    Hmph. Then you should seriously
    pursue becoming a pilot.
[08:41] YFuna
    A pilot?
[08:42] Kasu
    That's right.
[08:43] Kasu
    You should try to become Drew's pilot.
[08:47] Kasu
    And don't slack off.
[08:49] Kasu
    Study hard and work toward your dreams!
[08:51] YFuna
    Study?
[08:53] Kasu
    If that doesn't appeal to you, I'll report trespass—
[08:55] YFuna
    Um, wait!
[08:56] YFuna
    Not that, please!
[08:57] Kasu
    So will you do it or not?
[08:59] YFuna
    Me, a pilot?
[09:01] YFuna
    Okay, that doesn't sound bad.
[09:05] YFuna
    All right, doc.
[09:06] YFuna
    I'll become Drew's pilot.
[09:09] YFuna
    I promise!
[09:11] Kasu
    I'll be waiting for you, boy.
[09:13] YFuna
    Okay!
[09:15] Funa
    To him, it might have been a trivial lecture.
[09:19] Funa
    But having a dream to work toward
[09:21] Funa
    is a big deal for boys.
[09:24] Funa
    I'm only here today
[09:26] Funa
    because he gave me a dream that day.
[09:30] Funa
    I couldn't fulfill my promise from back then,
[09:33] Funa
    but I'd like to repay him, at least.
[09:35] Funa
    Is that strange?
[09:45] Shimura
    Damn this robot exhibit.
[09:47] Shimura
    They took Morgan from me.
[09:54] Shimura
    Logos?
[09:56] Shimura
    They're the ones who sent
    me a weird e-mail before.
[10:03] Shimura
    Hey! What the hell?!
[10:06] Shimura
    It's on autopilot?
[10:09] Shimura
    Wh-What the...
[10:13] Shimura
    What's this?
[10:16] Shimura
    No way... It was true?
[10:21] Robot
    We open at 10 AM.
[10:24] Robot
    We open at 10 AM.
[10:27] Robot
    We open at—
SIGN    The fuel tank is full. There's an overseas escape route. Come on Morgan.
[10:47] Shimura
    Logos is more hardworking than I thought.
[10:53] Shimura
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Morgan.
SIGN    Mo
    (Fury)
[10:56] Shimura
    Let's launch!
[11:01] U8
    What?
[11:02] U8
    We're up against a giant
    humanoid heavy machine?
[11:05] Sena
    This has to be a joke.
[11:06] Kyou
    It's at least twenty meters tall.
[11:08] Kyou
    Are you sure it's still working?
[11:10] Asami
    Funasaka-san...
[11:13] Funa
    Morgan was stolen?
[11:23] Rin
    The stolen giant humanoid heavy machine
[11:25] Rin
    is moving from Okachimachi to Akihabara
    along the Yamanote Break Water.
[11:30] Rin
    It's not responding to any contact.
[11:33] Funa
    Kazari-kun, do we have any security
    camera footage from the area?
[11:36] Asami
    Putting on main screen.
[11:42] Funa
    It's Morgan!
[11:44] Haruka
    It's about to pass by the Third Anime Center.
[11:46] Sena
    Local authorities seem to have
    placed a cordon, but...
[11:53] Cops
    Stop! Stop! Are you listening to us?
[12:09] Rin
    As soon as we arrive at Akihabara's
    special use platform,
[12:11] Rin
    Kuroki-kun and Sena-kun are
    to suit up, understood?
[12:14] Sena
    Roger.
[12:15] Kuro
    You can count on us!
[12:17] Funa
    Boss...
[12:20] Funa
    I have a request.
[12:26] Madoka
    Vitals, all green.
[12:28] Madoka
    Lock.
[12:34] Haruka
    Inner unit, begin output.
[12:36] Kyou
    Oscar II, set strike interceptor unit.
[12:52] Rin
    Understood. You are free to act as you wish.
[12:55] Rin
    Asami-chan, please provide backup support.
[12:57] Asami
    Huh?
[13:01] Kuro
    Okay, going ahead.
[13:09] Kuro
    Heh.
[13:10] Kuro
    So what if it's a giant humanoid machine?
[13:12] Kuro
    It's just an antique with nothing but sheer size.
[13:15] Kuro
    It's no match for us.
[13:17] Sena
    Though I hate to admit it, I agree.
[13:19] Sena
    But its sheer mass is a problem.
[13:21] Sena
    Let's deal with it before there's
    any more collateral damage.
[13:24] Kuro
    Got it!
[13:25] Sena
    This is the police. Power down the
    humanoid machine immediately.
[13:28] Shimura
    There you are, Willwear.
[13:30] Shimura
    Pests!
[13:40] Sena
    Wh-Why am I so sleepy?
[13:47] Sena
    Oscar II!
[13:48] Kyou
    Oscar I, cut external monitors,
[13:50] Kyou
    and put some distance between
    you and the machine!
[13:52] Sena
    What?
[13:53] Kyou
    The humanoid machine has
    a sleep-induction device
[13:56] Kyou
    developed by Nemuron.
[13:58] Sena
    A sleep-induction device?
[13:59] Kyou
    It works by using vibrations
    at a specific wavelength
[14:03] Kyou
    to deliver sleep-inducers to the brain.
[14:04] Kyou
    It's limiter's been removed. It's very dangerous.
[14:07] Sena
    Wake up, Oscar II!
[14:09] Sena
    Oscar II!
[14:12] Sena
    Even asleep, you lack class!
[14:19] Kyou
    The vibration's effective range
    is approximately fifty meters.
[14:24] Sena
    Then I'll just maintain range and attack.
[14:28] Kyou
    I think that'd be a bad idea.
[14:31] Sena
    What?
[14:32] Haruka
    Why?
[14:33] Kyou
    That machine's heavily armored to the extreme.
[14:36] Kyou
    With no data on it, it's impossible
    to deduce good targets.
[14:38] Kyou
    A mistake could lead to collateral damage
    to the city from ricochets.
[14:44] Funa
    Using civilians as hostages...
[14:47] Rin
    Funasaka-san, Madoka-chan found
    what you requested.
[14:50] Rin
    This is the suspect.
    We're pretty sure he's the perp.
[14:54] Rin
    Shimura Makoto, age fifty-two.
[14:56] Rin
    He received official pilot training back then.
[14:59] Rin
    He was supposed to be Morgan's pilot.
[15:02] Funa
    Morgan's official pilot...
[15:06] Rin
    But the project was canceled,
SIGN    Name: Shimura Makoto
    Place of Birth: Bunkyou Ward, Tokyo Prefecture
    Profession: Unemployed
    
    You're throwing the word "legend" around, but what
    is the legend exactly? Legends are only born once
    robot and pilot become one. If you're going to trot
    out Morgan, you should let me, the official pilot, on it.
    Otherwise, the legend is a big fat lie! I'm the best pilot
    for Morgan! You're desecrating Morgan by removing
    me and activating Morgan. You should stop
    this exhibit immediately.
[15:08] Rin
    and his life thereafter is the
    picture of a downward spiral.
[15:11] Rin
    He's also suspected of sending
    numerous harassing e-mails
[15:15] Rin
    intended to prevent the robot exhibit.
[15:19] Asami
    What's this?
[15:21] Haruka
    Shimura's apartment.
[15:22] Haruka
    I had local authorities stream their feed.
[15:31] Kyou
    An unforgotten dream, huh?
[15:35] Funa
    Boss, can you get permission
    to launch Drew, stat?
[15:39] Rin
    Okay, got it.
[15:41] Asami
    Why Drew?
[15:43] Funa
    Because only Drew can stop Morgan now.
[15:46] Asami
    But Drew's broken.
[15:48] Asami
    Even if it could start up,
[15:50] Asami
    once it gets close to Morgan,
    the sleep-induction will...
[15:53] Funa
    That won't happen.
[15:55] Funa
    If I were him,
[15:56] Funa
    I wouldn't turn down a
    chance at a robot battle.
[15:59] Funa
    Ever!
[16:00] Asami
    You're sure confident!
[16:05] Funa
    Please, doctor...
[16:07] Funa
    The Morgan you created
[16:09] Funa
    is being used for evil by
    a thoughtless individual!
[16:13] Funa
    Only Drew can save us from this crisis.
[16:16] Funa
    You can do this...
[16:17] Funa
    No, only you can do this,
[16:19] Funa
    Dr. Kasumigaseki!
[16:25] Funa
    Please!
[16:26] Voice
    Doc!
[16:28] Asami
    You're the one from the clock shop.
[16:29] Kobayashi
    I've gathered the old crew.
[16:31] Kobayashi
    We'll help, doc!
[16:33] Crew
    Let's do this, doc!
[16:36] Crew
    Let's bring Drew back to life!
[16:40] Funa
    Thank you all for your help!
[16:44] Kasu
    My lab coat.
[16:49] Kasu
    My lab coat! Hurry up!
[16:52] Funa
    Dr. Kasumigaseki!
[16:54] All
    Doc!
[16:56] Kasu
    First, remove the rusted rivets.
[16:58] All
    Yes, sir!
[16:59] Kasu
    I have a pretty good idea what the issue is.
[17:01] Kasu
    It's just one part. Don't dawdle! Hurry!
[17:05] Kuro
    Oscar II to command vehicle.
[17:07] Kuro
    Good morning.
[17:08] Rin
    Oscar II, your priority is to minimize damage.
[17:12] Rin
    Lure the target to the mud zone as best you can.
[17:15] Kuro
    Roger!
[17:15] Sena
    We'll do our best.
[17:17] Crew
    Carry it!
[17:18] Crew
    Hurry up and link it up!
[17:25] Asami
    Funasaka-san?
[17:27] Asami
    By the way, who's going to pilot Drew?
[17:30] Funa
    I will, of course.
[17:32] Asami
    You?
[17:34] Funa
    When I was a boy, I wanted to be a pilot.
[17:37] Funa
    I still remember how to pilot it as clear as day.
[17:40] Funa
    It was just an online course, though.
[17:41] Asami
    An online course?
[17:44] Kasu
    I'm counting on you, young Funasaka!
[17:46] Funa
    Yes,
[17:47] Funa
    doc!
[17:53] Funa
    It activated.
[17:55] Kasu
    Good.
[18:07] Funa
    Drew,
[18:09] Funa
    launch!
[18:34] Shimura
    Now that I've wreaked havoc,
    I have no regrets.
[18:37] Shimura
    All I have to do now is reach the
    location Logos designated and escape.
[18:40] Funa
    Stop right there, Morgan!
[18:45] Kuro
    Hey, that voice...
[18:46] Sena
    Funasaka-san?
[18:47] Funa
    I won't let you have your way any longer!
[18:50] Shimura
    Drew! Great idea!
[19:14] Asami
    Command vehicle, sending live footage.
[19:18] Haruka
    Funasaka-san, are you okay?
[19:20] Kuro
    Command vehicle, we think we
    can apprehend the perp now.
[19:23] Rin
    Let Funasaka-san handle it.
[19:25] Rin
    Don't make any rash moves.
[19:27] Funa
    I will not let anyone use robots for evil!
[19:31] Funa
    Drew Drill Punch!
[19:34] Shimura
    Get off your high horse!
[19:37] Shimura
    Morgan Shovel!

    Full action, huh?
[19:58] Asami
    This isn't good. If we don't do something...
