[00:07] K
You know,
[00:08] K
I just don't get what Funasaka-san's saying.
[00:12] K
Does he really have to get mad,
just because I put my underwear
[00:15] K
on top of that weird fish-animal?
[00:18] K
I figured it would be rude to put
them on the desk or the chair!
[00:22] K
It's...
[00:24] R
It's?
[00:31] K
A giant monster...
[00:32] R
That's a hologram... Right?
[00:34] S
If it were real, everyone would be screaming.
[00:36] R
Is it an ad for something?
[00:50] S
The way it just moved...
[01:05] S
Uh, what is that an ad for?
[01:08] R
You're an idiot sometimes,
aren't you, Kuroki-kun?
[01:19] Intro
In the future,
[01:21] Intro
when something happens beyond
the normal police's capacity,
[01:24] Intro
they turn to the power of the ACTIVE project.

This is the story of Japan's ACTIVE,
the Third Mobile Assault Unit.
SIGN File 6: Rudra Strikes Back
[02:51] Gu
I'm in front of the old Shinjuku city hall,
where an explosion occurred yesterday.
[02:56] Gu
Police say what happened last night was
a combination of audio equipment,
SIGN Unit 8
[03:00] Gu
several dozen 3-D projectors,
as well as explosive devices.
[03:04] Gu
No one's claimed credit,
and the goal is unknown.
[03:07] Gu
The old city hall was already being dismantled,
[03:07] E
It's amazing, no matter how
many times I see it.
[03:10] E
Giant monsters are one of Japan's
biggest contributions
[03:10] Gu
so miraculously, no one was injured.
[03:13] E
to world culture.
[03:14] M
You're very knowledgeable, Emilia-chan.
[03:16] F
All right, goodbye.
[03:18] F
Boss,
[03:19] F
the Shinjuku PS is requesting
aid for its investigation.
[03:23] F
Witnesses report that a Willwear
assembled the projectors.
[03:27] R
All right.
[03:28] R
After something this big, we need
to arrest the responsible parties!
[03:32] F
No, that's impossible.
[03:35] F
The crime's prime suspect is already dead,
according to the Shinjuku PS.
[03:40] R
They know who it was?
[03:41] F
So it seems.
[03:43] S
Is the man behind it—
[03:45] R
Huh? Was today trash day?
[03:47] S
No. Funasaka-san...
[03:49] F
Yes?
[03:50] S
Was the prime suspect
[03:52] S
the movie director Kadoyama Hiromitsu?
[03:55] F
Oh? How did you know?
[03:57] S
The Kadoyama Growl.
[03:59] Gu
Kadoyama Growl?
[04:01] S
When the monster roared, it moved
in a very unique way, right?
[04:05] M
Oh, you mean this?
[04:07] S
These motions are something
[04:09] S
Director Kadoyama incorporated from kabuki.
[04:12] K
Are you a giant monster fan?
[04:15] S
I don't know much about them.
[04:17] S
I just know a bit about Director Kadoyama.
[04:21] E
That's right...
[04:22] E
Hiromitsu Kadoyama was the last
maestro of giant monster movies
[04:26] E
of the Heisei period.
[04:29] S
I am certain
[04:30] S
that Director Kadoyama created that hologram.
[04:33] S
But his being behind this must be some mistake.
[04:37] F
But the police were sent production
notes by Director Kadoyama
[04:41] F
that could be interpreted as a claim of credit.
[04:44] F
The delivery date was set in advance.
[04:46] R
So he shipped them before he died?
[04:48] R
What did the notes say?
[04:50] F
"Rudra, the giant monster, will burn
the land of my revenge to ash."
[04:55] M
That's pretty nuts.
[04:58] S
No, it must be some mistake!
[05:00] F
But he was arrested before his death.
[05:06] S
Chief, may I get permission to
cooperate with the investigation?
[05:10] R
As a civilian?
[05:12] R
What do we do in these cases, again?
[05:13] K
The law's been changed, so it's no problem.
[05:16] H
That's right.
[05:18] H
If we want to be sure,
we should also send Emilia-chan.
[05:21] H
We'll say it's part of her training.
SIGN Kadoyama
[05:25] Gu
Kadoyama-san lived alone and had no relatives.
[05:28] Gu
We just started the paperwork to turn
this house over to the government.
[05:33] Gu
He wasn't the kind of guy to...
[05:35] K
No, that's what we're looking into.
[05:38] K
Was there anything different
[05:39] K
or strange about him?
[05:42] Gu
Let me see...
[05:44] E
Sena-san, I found a work contract.
[05:44] Background
He was very active just before his death.
[05:47] E
It's for a New Zealand CG studio.
[05:48] ---
I can't say much about his
activities outside, though...
[05:50] E
And then a German...
[05:51] S
3-D projection mapping?
[05:52] ---
What do you mean by "outside"?
[05:54] E
He paid for the whole amount himself
[05:54] ---
Well, his work, I suppose.
[05:56] ---
He was away from the house all the time.
[05:56] E
to make several minutes of footage.
[05:59] ---
He didn't seem to me like the kind
of guy that people would dislike...
SIGN Project R
[06:01] E
Project R?
[06:04] ---
Still, this house has quite an old-fashioned
design... Or maybe I should say "retro."
[06:04] E
Looks like a scenario document.
[06:09] ---
Yes...
SIGN Great Monster
Rudra
[06:12] S
"Great Monster Rudra."
[06:14] S
Before his death,
[06:16] S
Director Kadoyama was dealing with
former Minister of Economics Mouri Takerou.
[06:22] S
He wanted him to fund a movie project.
[06:25] H
Come to think of it,
[06:26] H
the Economics Ministry just
started a support program...
SIGN Kadoyama Hiromitsu
[06:29] S
It was a typical government
project in the same vein
[06:32] S
as the Cool Japan program decades
ago, which sought to make
[06:35] S
Japan's "coolness" known overseas.
[06:37] E
But many individuals and companies
applied, and no one was approved.
[06:42] E
The only one awarded funding was
[06:44] E
a projection-mapping project
to support restorations,
[06:47] E
run by a company associated
with Minister Mouri.
[06:50] H
The project they tried after Orochi was fixed?
[06:53] H
I heard that didn't go so well.
[06:55] S
It seems that two-thirds of the money
went back into his pockets.
[06:59] K
That happens a lot, but it's still horrible.
SIGN Kadoyama Hiromitsu
[07:02] S
A year before his death, Kadoyama-san
[07:04] S
was told that he had six months to live.
[07:07] S
He planned for this to be his
last, and greatest, work.
[07:11] S
But Minister Mouri's treatment
of him was terrible.
SIGN Minister of Economics and Industry
[07:14] Gu
At least read it.
[07:17] Gu
It's a giant monster movie, but not
like any that have been made before.
[07:20] Gu
It's a new—
[07:21] Gu
I told you already,
[07:23] Gu
we can't trust a freelancer.
[07:26] Gu
Make your request through this company.
[07:30] Gu
Please, Mouri-san...
[07:32] Gu
You yelled at the company I introduced you to.
[07:36] Gu
But they wanted sixty percent of the budget
[07:39] Gu
for their own profit. That's crazy.
[07:41] Gu
It's not crazy!
[07:43] Gu
Every company wants to make a profit.
[07:46] Gu
You're not taking that budget for yourself—
[07:48] Gu
Leave! You're wasting my time!
[07:52] Gu
Mouri-san, what's wrong with it?
[07:55] Gu
I got a trustworthy company to support me.
[07:58] Gu
I will decide whether
[08:00] Gu
it's trustworthy or not, fool.
[08:02] Gu
That's the problem with people into sci-fi and—
[08:05] Gu
What did you say, you ass?!
[08:06] Gu
Got a problem, old man?
[08:07] Gu
Arrest him! Arrest him!
[08:09] Gu
Stop!
[08:10] Gu
Let me go!
[08:11] Gu
Mouri!
[08:15] Gu
In the end, not only was his request denied,
[08:18] Gu
but the basic idea was stolen and used
for a restoration-support event.
[08:23] H
So it was ripped off?!
SIGN Project R
[08:25] S
The idea was.
[08:26] S
The actual event was garbage.
[08:28] S
He said in his diary that it made him angry.
[08:31] M
Was that his motive?
[08:32] M
Revenge on Tokyo for stealing his work?
[08:35] H
Then he'd target the former minister directly.
[08:38] M
That's true...
SIGN Professor: The real destruction is yet to come.
[08:41] E
"The real destruction is yet to come."
[08:46] E
In the scenario that Director
Kadoyama wrote himself,
[08:49] E
a biologist looks at the destroyed
city hall and says this:
[08:54] E
"The real destruction is yet to come.
[08:57] E
A destruction sufficient to crush a great city."
[09:00] E
And three days later,
this is what the scenario says.
[09:04] E
"Commander! Rudra appeared again!"
[09:07] M
Where?
[09:08] H
Where?
[09:09] E
The data in the scenario ends there.
[09:13] K
It ends?
SIGN Soldier: Commander! Commander: Where?! Continued in Other File
[09:14] E
It seems he kept the climax
in another, top-secret file.
[09:19] Gu
If his real revenge is just about to begin...
[09:23] F
Bad news, everyone.
[09:26] R
What is it, Funasaka-san?
[09:28] F
We've found where the explosives
at the old city hall came from.
[09:33] F
The brand name is "Image Master."
[09:35] Gu
Those got into Japan?!
[09:37] F
I'm told the mafia smuggled them in
[09:39] F
and hid them in an abandoned building
in the quicksand district.
[09:42] K
So they were stolen?
[09:44] F
Yes, last month.
[09:46] F
And the real problem is the amount.
[09:48] F
The last explosion used 0.2 tons.
[09:52] F
But 400 tons were stolen!
[09:55] R
Two thousand times the last one?
[09:56] Gu
If they were all used...
[09:59] S
Tokyo would be annihilated.
[10:03] K
Let's go talk to the film crew!
[10:05] K
There might be a hint to the next location!
[10:07] E
Impossible.
[10:07] K
Why?
[10:08] E
If this follows the scenario, the real
explosion takes place in two days.
[10:12] E
We can't reach the staff scattered
around the world that quickly.
[10:17] R
Assuming he's out for revenge,
[10:19] R
we can check places associated
with Mouri Takerou,
[10:21] R
like his hometown or election district.
[10:26] S
Nagoya!
[10:27] S
He said he was going home
to prepare for the next election.
[10:31] R
Asami-chan is already in Nagoya,
[10:33] R
looking for projectors and explosives.
[10:35] R
If she finds anything, she'll call us at once.
SIGN Kazari Asami
[10:39] A
This is Unit 9, Oscar VI.
[10:41] Gu
That was fast!
[10:42] A
I've engaged an unidentified
Willwear in combat.
[10:45] K
There really was someone behind this!
[10:46] R
Oscar VI, can you send video?
[10:48] A
I'll try.
[10:51] K
That's the one from the suicide bombing!
[10:53] H
What is that? It's disgusting!
[10:56] F
The person inside is way too flexible.
[10:59] K
Be careful, Oscar VI!
[11:01] K
He's tough!
[11:02] A
No problem.
[11:03] A
Fingers!
[11:04] All
Yes, Brain!

You're under arrest!
[11:07] Gu
You're under arrest!

Perfect Charge: Digamma!
[11:21] E
Didn't she just hit her own subordinates, too?
[11:25] K
Poor guys.
[11:26] Gu
Kyoukai-kun, are you there?
[11:28] Gu
What is it, Kyoukai-sama?
[11:30] Gu
Something about the Willwear was
bothering me, so I looked into it.
[11:35] Gu
And I was right.
[11:38] R
A robot?
[11:39] K
That explains it!
[11:41] Gu
I think this
[11:42] Gu
might have been developed
by the Carupanuba Junta.
[11:45] Gu
Yes...
[11:46] Gu
It's entered the production stage, hasn't it?
[11:50] Gu
Kyoukai-sama!
[11:54] A
Don't worry.
[11:55] A
All our members are safe.
[11:57] A
And we also found a trailer that contained
a fog machine and 3-D projectors.
[12:04] A
But it caught fire and burned
before we could secure it.
[12:06] K
They covered up the evidence?
[12:08] K
Probably.
[12:09] K
Great, what do we do now?
[12:12] R
I'll leave you to decide.
[12:14] K
Roger.
[12:16] R
We'll have them keep
searching Aichi Prefecture.
[12:20] R
For now, Sena-kun...
[12:21] S
Yes?
[12:22] R
Tell me where to find the best
restaurants in Nagoya!
[12:25] ---
Huh?
[12:26] H
Because...
[12:27] F
We're almost at Nagoya.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[12:39] Gi
Eat this so you can work
your aes off tomorrow,
[12:42] Gi**
you scumwad dks!
[12:44] All**
Thank you, ma'am!
[12:46] S
I'm sorry, everyone.
[12:48] S
I asked her, and she said
to have you eat here.
[12:50] F
But you have both doteni and Ise udon.
[12:53] F
That's plenty.
[12:54] E
I wish Unit 9 could have joined us...
[12:58] K
Even if it was to solve the case,
[13:00] K
they let everything get way out of hand.
[13:03] S
More letters of apology?
[13:04] F
Still, it's just like you to prioritize
the hiring of immigrants.
[13:09] S
No, that's not what I'm doing at all.
[13:11] H
You're so humble!
[13:13] Gu
Stop sitting around, CEO Bnerface!
[13:17] All
Yes, ma'am!
[13:18] All
Scumbags!
[13:20] ---
Glry h*le!
[13:23] S
But I'm glad we managed to stop Rudra
from causing problems here.
[13:27] M
It's rare for you to be so attached to something.
[13:31] S
I may be the person I am
[13:33] S
because of Kadoyama-san.
[13:36] M
What happened?
[13:37] S
Right after I joined the force,
[13:39] S
I was in Division 5's anti-gang task force.
[13:41] K
What, you're proud of that?
[13:44] S
I went after the son of a certain
powerful figure too hard,
[13:48] S
so they pulled strings to get me transferred.
[13:52] S
I was sent to Unit 8.
[13:54] R
Yeah, I heard the stories.
[13:56] S
I'm sorry to say this,
but I was sulking over that.
[14:00] S
And then,
[14:01] S
I happened to visit Kadoyama-san's
studio during an investigation.
[14:06] Gu
Oh, you're the detective who's
here over the drug case?
[14:11] S
I'm sorry.
[14:13] S
We're aware this place has nothing to do
with the case, but I must be sure.
SIGN Fragile
Don't Touch
[14:18] Gu
It's fine.
[14:19] S
These buildings are so well-made, though.
[14:23] S
And this, too.
[14:24] Gu
Do you know what they're made from?
[14:27] S
Plaster or something?
[14:29] Gu
They're actually wafers from a
place called Altea, in Setogaya.
[14:34] S
Wafers?
[14:35] Gu
Yes, the candy.
[14:37] Gu
We tried many different things,
[14:40] Gu
and these break the best.
[14:42] ---
Oh...
[14:43] Gu
Are you disappointed that we use
something so old-fashioned?
[14:46] S
Oh, no.
[14:47] Gu
Director, the set's finished.
[14:49] Gu
Watch if you like.
[14:51] S
Okay.
SIGN Kadoyama Team
[14:52] Gu
Ready... Action!
[14:54] Gu
Rolling!
[15:04] Gu
And cut!
[15:05] Gu
Cut!
[15:05] ---
Cut!
[15:06] Gu
Douse the fires!
[15:07] K
I was amazed at how much punch it had.
[15:10] Gu
They tell me that these days, it's old-fashioned.
[15:14] S
Then, why?
[15:15] Gu
I went to see a movie by one
of the younger generation.
[15:19] Gu
The kids there seemed strangely disinterested.
[15:23] Gu
The CG people had worked really hard,
[15:26] Gu
but the kids didn't care.
[15:28] Gu
So I asked if they didn't like it.
[15:32] Gu
And one of the kids said that it looked cheap.
[15:37] Gu
I thought they'd worked hard,
[15:39] Gu
but even if I cared, the customers didn't.
[15:43] Gu
Yes...
[15:43] Gu
You can't just try to satisfy yourself.
[15:46] Gu
So I made my decision.
[15:49] Gu
If I don't have any money,
[15:50] Gu
I'd rather use old-fashioned special
effects than some lousy CG.
[15:55] S
I understand.
[15:56] Gu
The old ways have their own advantages.
[15:59] Gu
I believe that if you don't cut corners,
the audience can tell how you feel.
[16:02] S
How you feel?
[16:06] S
If you sulk, you lose.
[16:08] S
The world's full of things that aren't fair.
[16:11] S
But that doesn't mean you can
shut down, or that it's over for you.
[16:15] S
I'll be 74 this year,
[16:17] S
and I want to make a movie that combines
CG and old-fashioned special effects.
[16:21] S
Please do. Make something amazing.
[16:24] Gu
I will! Something that'll amaze everyone!
[16:31] S
That's what helped me get over everything
and accept the transfer to Section 8.
[16:35] K
You quit in the end, though.
[16:36] S
That's all right because I'm
satisfied with my life.
[16:39] M
Now, now...
[16:40] S
So I owe Kadoyama-san a lot.
[16:42] R
Why would such a good person do this?
[16:44] S
No.
[16:46] S
I think someone is using him.
[16:50] S
If you sulk, you lose.
[16:52] S
If you stop just because things
aren't fair, it's all over, he said.
[16:55] S
He wouldn't...
[16:57] S
I want to apprehend whoever is
doing this, and learn the truth.
[17:01] S
So that I can keep believing in
the man who kept me going.
[17:05] F
Thanks.
[17:06] F
No explosives were found in
Minister Mouri's hometown.
[17:11] R
Then Nagoya wasn't the target?
[17:13] E
There is a chance you're right.
[17:16] E
I found a video taken before
Director Kadoyama's death.
[17:20] Gu
Skyscrapers these days
[17:22] Gu
don't really work with giant monsters.
[17:24] Gu
They're too tall.
[17:26] E
Would someone like that
[17:27] E
choose the area in front of Nagoya
Station for a giant monster attack?
[17:33] M
It's true, you wouldn't be able
to see the monster at all.
[17:37] E
So I looked into it,
[17:38] E
and Minister Mouri was born in Nagoya,
[17:41] E
but grew up mostly in Bunkyou Ward.
[17:43] E
He only ran from Nagoya for
internal political reasons.
[17:47] E
Isn't Bunkyou Ward...
[17:49] R
Yes, a priority redevelopment area.
[17:52] F
Many small-story buildings in that area
[17:54] F
are perfect for a monster attack.
[17:56] K
So this was a decoy?
[17:59] R
We're heading back to Tokyo.
[18:01] R
Everyone, get ready!
[18:02] All
Right!
[18:07] H
They found explosives in the ward.
[18:10] H
But only some of them.
[18:13] H
The evacuation's complete in
a one-kilometer radius.

we'll need more than that.
[18:21] R
Someone has to get there first... and...
[18:25] R
Kuroki-kun!
[18:26] E
He can't go. That would be drunk Willwearing.
[18:29] F
He was drinking at a fast pace...
[18:32] S
If they're following the scenario,
Rudra will appear at midnight.
[18:36] S
Kyoukai-san, any options for us?
[18:38] Gu
If we fill the sky with chaff, we might
be able to stop the detonation.
[18:41] S
But where can we get all that chaff?
[18:44] Gu
The Unified SDF should keep a stock
[18:46] Gu
at the Fuchuuhon-machi factory.
[18:49] S
The Unified SDF...
[18:50] Gi
He blew off our meeting two
and a half months ago!
[18:53] F
Yes.
[18:54] F
I understand how you feel.
[18:57] Gi
He answers my messages at a 4.3% rate.
[19:01] F
I am very sorry.
[19:03] Gi
He went to Nagoya without even telling me.
[19:05] Gi
And if he hates the USDF so much, he shouldn't be asking for help!
[19:09] F
You are absolutely right, yes.
[19:12] F
But we need your help to protect
the lives of our citizens!
[19:17] Gi
I understand.
[19:18] F
Thank you!
[19:20] Gi
Funasaka-san, could you give a
message to Souichirou for me?
[19:23] F
Ah, of course.
[19:25] Gi
Tell him this will cost him.
[19:45] Gu
Rudra has appeared in Bunkyou Ward.
[19:47] Gi
Where's Oscar I?
SIGN Nagoya
[19:48] Gu
Maintaining planned altitude and speed.
[19:51] Gi
Roger.
[19:52] Gi
Let's get ready, too.
[19:56] S
I won't let you
[19:57] S
use Kadoyama-san's Rudra for this anymore.
[20:01] Gu
Ultra-long-range sniper rifle
[20:03] Gu
Shiden Seisou Custom ready to launch!
[20:06] Gi
Launch!
[20:08] Gi
Souichirou,
[20:10] Gi
I look forward to your thanking me.
[20:14] S
There it is.
[20:17] S
Oscar I, I'm sending data on the firing point.
[20:20] S
The flight structure is unstable,
[20:22] S
so be careful when you use it.
[20:24] S
Roger!
[20:29] Gi
We're above Bunkyou Ward.
[20:30] Gi
The monster has appeared again.
[20:32] Gi
Police say that evacuation is complete.
[20:39] H
It's firing its beam!
[20:41] R
Oscar I!
[20:41] S
Kadoyama-san...
[20:49] Gi
Rudra has fired its beam!
[20:51] Gi
The city has turned into a sea of flame!
[20:55] Gi
Or... it hasn't?
[20:59] Gi
It's Unit 8!
[21:00] Gi
Unit 8 did it!
[21:02] Gi
Our sources tell us they've deployed
[21:05] Gi
a jamming material, which stopped
the remote detonation.
[21:09] Gi
Which means...
[21:10] Gi
My broadcast cut out?
[21:13] Gi
If that's the case, I'm sorry, everyone!
[21:19] S
I'm glad Rudra didn't have to destroy the city.
[21:23] S
Kadoyama-san, everyone will
know how you felt—
[21:29] S
You!
[21:36] S
H-How?
[21:41] S
Wired detonators?
[21:42] K
Yeah.
[21:43] K
We discovered them from the recovered
explosives and Willwear.
[21:46] S
I see.
[21:47] K
And at the police conference
today, it was decided that
[21:51] K
your savior, Kadoyama-san, wasn't involved.
[21:54] K
They said his footage was probably just used.
[21:58] K
Jirou says there's a chance he's involved.
[22:02] S
Hachijou?
[22:03] K
Yeah.
[22:04] K
He probably used Kadoyama-san's
work for his games.
[22:09] S
Games?
[22:10] S
Then I will never forgive him!
[22:13] S
I will catch him!
[22:18] Gu
I never thought
[22:20] Gu
I'd be able to play a game in this country.
