[01:31] ---
    May I ask a question?
[01:33] ---
    Queen to F3.
[01:35] ---
    Shoot.
[01:36] ---
    King to G7.
[01:39] ---
    Is it a good idea to send me into battle?
[01:41] ---
    Rook to E4.
[01:43] ---
    If I die, the Deucalion's Aldnoah will shut down.
[01:47] ---
    I'm aware of that.
[01:48] ---
    Rook to D8.
[01:50] ---
    But we'll worry about that
    when we have to.
[01:53] ---
    Do you want to be removed from the
    front lines, Ensign Kaizuka?
[01:57] ---
    No.
[01:58] ---
    I'll go into battle.
[02:00] ---
    Queen to F6, check.
[02:02] ---
    King to F6, king takes queen.
[02:05] ---
    We're in agreement, then.
[02:07] ---
    Bishop to E5, check.
[02:10] ---
    I'll put it on the monitor.
[02:14] ---
    Did you come up with
    that move yourself?
[02:17] ---
    Or is it something that analytical
    engine of yours cooked up?
[02:20] ---
    It's mine, about 70-30.
[02:22] ---
    About 70-30?
[02:23] ---
    I'm assigning tasks to unused brain cells
    to try to optimize its processing.
[02:28] ---
    So it's both the device's suggestion
    and my own idea at the same time.
[02:33] ---
    This ship and her crew
    both owe you our lives.
[02:37] ---
    If you want to fight, I think
    we should support that.
[02:43] ---
    I don't deserve any special treatment.
[02:48] ---
    Did you hear that Aldnoah activation
    tests were conducted
[02:51] ---
    using blood samples that had
    been drawn from the princess?
[02:56] ---
    King to G5.
[02:58] ---
    Result, failure. Blood alone was not
    sufficient for Aldnoah activation.
[03:02] ---
    So you could be considered
    a special case indeed, Ensign.
[03:06] ---
    When you resuscitated the princess,
    the activation factor transferred to...
[03:09] ---
    no, infected you.
[03:11] ---
    Then it was fully activated when you
    came into contact with royal blood.
[03:15] ---
    Over the past ten months or so,
[03:17] ---
    we've obtained plenty of intel on
    Aldnoah and their Kataphrakts.
[03:22] ---
    But they still have the overwhelming
    edge in military strength.
[03:27] ---
    There's no guarantee that we'll
    win if we keep on fighting.
[03:30] ---
    But if we do, Ensign Kaizuka...
    I'll put my money on you.
[03:36] ---
    Bishop to G7.
[03:41] ---
    Do you resign?
[03:43] ---
    Was that move yours?
    Or your left eye's?
[03:46] ---
    I'll leave that to your imagination.
[03:58] ---
    I suppose not even the Tharsis
    can see that far into the future.
[04:17] ---
    See to it.
[04:18] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:29] ---
    Welcome back, Milord Slaine.
[04:31] ---
    I clustered my shots in the region
    that you calculated, Mr. Harklight.
[04:35] ---
    Let us pray that they won't be influenced
    by some unexpected wind.
[04:39] ---
    Ah, I thought I smelled something.
    A dog has snuck aboard.
[04:44] ---
    A rather grubby one, at that.
[04:47] ---
    What are you doing here?
[04:51] ---
    Good day, Count Barouhcruz.
    Count Marylcian.
[04:55] ---
    I rushed here so that I might
    join in the battle as well.
[04:57] ---
    Terran dog...
[04:59] ---
    Mind your tongue!
[05:06] ---
    Count Saazbaum!
[05:08] ---
    Slaine Troyard here is my vassal.
[05:11] ---
    If he has given some offense,
    I offer my apologies.
[05:14] ---
    However, if this treatment is unwarranted,
[05:17] ---
    Count Marylcian,
[05:19] ---
    it will not go well for you.
[05:21] ---
    If this Terran were merely your pet,
    it would be eccentric, but tolerable.
[05:24] ---
    But to appoint him a knight?
[05:26] ---
    Is that not taking
    your game too far?
[05:29] ---
    Count Barouhcruz, it is not your place
    to offer opinions regarding my vassals.
[05:35] ---
    Perhaps, but him fighting alongside us
    is another matter entirely!
[05:38] ---
    One cannot take to
    the field of battle
[05:40] ---
    with someone who might
    turn traitor at any moment!
[05:42] ---
    If that is your concern, please
    strike me down right here.
[05:46] ---
    You are entirely correct.
    If I go into battle with you,
[05:50] ---
    it might very well be me
    who is attacked from behind.
[05:53] ---
    How dare you!
[05:55] ---
    Men!
[05:56] ---
    Hear me, all of you!
[06:00] ---
    By the grace of the emperor of Vers,
[06:03] ---
    I name Slaine Troyard my son
    right here and now.
[06:09] ---
    All of you here are my witnesses!
[06:14] ---
    Milord Count...
[06:15] ---
    Stand, Slaine.
[06:17] ---
    From this day forth,
    you are my son.
[06:21] ---
    Will you raise a hand to him
    even now, Count Marylcian?
[06:27] ---
    If you are prepared to go
    to such lengths, so be it.
[06:31] ---
    But if his behavior is the least bit suspicious,
    I will put him down without mercy.
[06:40] ---
    Forgive me. I have put you
    in an awkward position.
[06:43] ---
    It is fine. I had decided
    to do this long ago.
[06:47] ---
    I, too, take to the field of battle.
    I must have a successor just in case.
[06:52] ---
    From now on, think of me as your father.
[07:05] ---
    Congratulations, Milord Slaine!
[07:08] ---
    The count's heir... This puts you one
    step closer to your dream.
[07:14] ---
    That's enough, Mr. Harklight.
[07:18] ---
    I don't have any dreams.
[07:22] ---
    It's almost time.
[07:23] ---
    Yes...
[07:26] ---
    Who do you think
    will win, Eddelrittuo?
[07:29] ---
    Th-The glorious Vers Imperial Forces
    will emerge victorious, of course!
[07:35] ---
    Oh? Doesn't that trouble you?
[07:38] ---
    You have friends aboard a United
    Earth Forces ship, don't you?
[07:41] ---
    Perish the thought!
    Friends on Earth?
[07:44] ---
    Of course. Let's have a wager, then.
[07:46] ---
    A wager?
[07:48] ---
    If the Vers Empire wins, I bet...
[07:50] ---
    Let me think...
[07:51] ---
    My sister's life, perhaps?
[07:56] ---
    I'm joking.
[08:01] ---
    What are you dreaming
    of right now, sister?
[08:12] ---
    Have you seen Inko?
[08:14] ---
    The electromagnetic catapult, I think?
    She's probably with Rayet.
[08:18] ---
    Thanks.
[08:19] ---
    Don't get lost.
[08:21] ---
    I'll try.
[08:25] ---
    Sweats?!
[08:26] ---
    You're too greedy, Yutaro-chan.
[08:30] ---
    Tharsis. Details of its abilities, unknown.
[08:34] ---
    High rate of attack evasion reported.
[08:38] ---
    Confirmed pilot...
[08:42] ---
    ...Slaine Troyard.
[08:45] ---
    A good luck charm given to me by a dear
    Terran friend when we arrived on Earth.

[08:50] ---
    Animals that fly through the air...
[08:52] ---
    It is just as you said, Slaine!
[08:55] ---
    Is he equipped with a neuro-linked
    analytical engine too?
[09:01] ---
    Indeed. But I don't
    have enough data.
[09:05] ---
    It dodged my attacks as though
     it could see the future.
[09:10] ---
    If that's true...
    it could be a problem.
[09:13] ---
    You monologuing?
[09:17] ---
    I was talking to myself.
[09:18] ---
    That's what monologuing means.
[09:23] ---
    The warrior god Odin, rider of the
    mythological, eight-legged Sleipnir,
[09:28] ---
    drank of the waters of Mímisbrunnr
    and was granted vast wisdom.
[09:32] ---
    But the price he paid for that
    wisdom was his left eye.
[09:38] ---
    Norse mythology.
[09:39] ---
    Know-it-all.
[09:40] ---
    Don't make fun of me!
[09:45] ---
    After the battle in Russia,
    I wanted off the ship.
[09:51] ---
    I was terrified.
[09:53] ---
    But then it hit me that if I did, I'd never be
    able to look Okojo in the eye when I do die.
[09:59] ---
    If your steed is ever acting up,
    come see me day or night.
[10:02] ---
    I'll fix it up in a flash.
[10:04] ---
    I'll hold you to that.
[10:06] ---
    Okay, why don't we grab a bite before
    the battle? There's still some time.
[10:11] ---
    I'll pass.
[10:12] ---
    When I was shot, my stomach
    was empty, apparently.
[10:16] ---
    They say I would've died if my organs had
    been contaminated by stomach contents.
[10:20] ---
    Oh. Sure.
[10:23] ---
    But I might not get another
    chance, so maybe some tea.
[10:28] ---
    What are his reel selections?
[10:29] ---
    He's got a #1 through #3, a #10 for
    emergencies, and one on the left and right.
[10:35] ---
    It's specced out for high-G pivots.
[10:37] ---
    Long, thin wires aren't cut out for that.
[10:39] ---
    Found you!
[10:40] ---
    Hey, it's Team Deucalion.
[10:42] ---
    So you're the Aldnoah unit that
    everybody's talking about, huh?
[10:45] ---
    I hear one of you is a Martian.
[10:46] ---
    Don't get in our way on
    the battlefield, little ladies.
[10:52] ---
    What was their problem?
    Bunch of jerks!
[10:55] ---
    They're not wrong, though.
[10:57] ---
    All Martians are the enemy.
[11:01] ---
    I know that better than anyone.
[11:07] ---
    You're so adorable, Rayet.
[11:09] ---
    You've got the "tsun" part down pat.
[11:11] ---
    Huh?
[11:12] ---
    I wish you'd show a little
    more "dere," though.
[11:14] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:15] ---
    Want some candy?
[11:16] ---
    I'm gonna deck you.
[11:18] ---
    We will enter defense airspace in 30 minutes.
[11:21] ---
    Please launch.
[11:22] ---
    Good hunting!
[11:28] ---
    Is my steed ready?
[11:29] ---
    The fine-tuning has been completed!
[11:31] ---
    Good!
[11:34] ---
    Dioscuria II, launching!
[11:41] ---
    Slaine Troyard, launching in the Tharsis.
[11:46] ---
    Stygis Squadron, launching!
[12:00] ---
    Martian Kataphrakt squadron approaching!
[12:03] ---
    Calling all forces!
    Commence operation!
[12:05] ---
    Message from HQ!
    Commence operation!
[12:09] ---
    Deucalion, launch!
[12:11] ---
    We will provide support for the attack
    platoons as a guerrilla force.
[12:14] ---
    All hands to battle stations.
[12:16] ---
    Our shipboard Kataphrakts are
    launching from Trident Base.
[12:22] ---
    Mustang 11, cleared for launch!
[12:25] ---
    Roger. Mustang 11, cleared for launch!
[12:28] ---
    Blastoff!
[12:36] ---
    Blastoff.
[12:52] ---
    Target merge. Commencing attack.
[13:03] ---
    Attack incoming!
[13:04] ---
    Hold your fire! They can't hit us
    in this wind, anyway!
[13:08] ---
    Hit them when they get in close!
[13:09] ---
    Hit them when they get in close...
    Hit them when they get in close...
[13:15] ---
    My umbrella's been hit!
[13:17] ---
    Mustang 11!
[13:19] ---
    I'm fine, but the debris is not! I can't
    get a clear shot with all this shaking!
[13:24] ---
    Mustang 00, moving to assist.
[13:32] ---
    Inaho!
[13:37] ---
    Hey, what about your umbrella?!
[13:38] ---
    It's just a drizzle. I don't need it.
[13:41] ---
    Stop pulling crazy stunts, darn it!
[13:42] ---
    I wouldn't be able to use it
    in a dogfight anyway.
[13:45] ---
    Inferring gravitational shifts.
    Data compensation, ready.
[13:49] ---
    Fire.
[13:51] ---
    Commence attack!
[13:55] ---
    Why you!
[14:04] ---
    Pivoting via wire swing-by.
    Returning to combat airspace.
[14:07] ---
    #3, shoot.
[14:17] ---
    Pivot complete in 4, 3, 2, 1... Release.
[14:36] ---
    Inaho Kaizuka...
[14:38] ---
    Slaine Troyard...
[14:44] ---
    Marineros Base will make
    next approach in 30 seconds!
[14:47] ---
    Main guns ready to fire.
[14:49] ---
    Attention, all platoons!
    Get clear of our line of fire!
[14:53] ---
    Rayet!
[14:54] ---
    This is Rhinelander 22!
    Crap, I've got one on my six!

[14:59] ---
    Roger. Mustang 22, moving to assist.
[15:08] ---
    The Martian!
[15:09] ---
    Marineros Base now in firing range.
    No friendly units in line of fire!
[15:14] ---
    Main guns, fire!
[15:22] ---
    Marineros Base beginning to move away.
[15:25] ---
    Issue disengage order to attack platoons
    and guerrilla unit! Put them on defense!
[15:29] ---
    Inaho, we've been ordered
    to disengage! Come back!
[15:33] ---
    Inaho!
[15:40] ---
    That's some accurate shooting.
[15:46] ---
    I knew it, he's using predictions, too.
[15:49] ---
    #1, pivot.
[15:59] ---
    I'll wait until the instant
    he comes out of the rocks.
[16:02] ---
    He'll attack the instant
    I come out from the rocks.
[16:06] ---
    Coordinates confirmed.
    Two minutes to impact.
[16:10] ---
    Let's do this.
[16:12] ---
    Fire.
[16:23] ---
    I hit him?
[16:26] ---
    That's—
[16:28] ---
    Are you all right, Slaine? Fall back.
[16:30] ---
    No, I can still fight!
[16:32] ---
    Don't overdo it.
[16:34] ---
    The orange Kataphrakt...
    I owe him some payback!
[16:47] ---
    Looking for the gap in my barrier?
[16:49] ---
    I took the liberty of
    changing its location.
[16:55] ---
    Fly, my servants!
[17:20] ---
    Energy joints, linked.
    Blade field, engaged.
[17:29] ---
    Sword drawn.
[17:38] ---
    There's no escape.
[17:41] ---
    Inaho!
[17:42] ---
    I'll cover you! Get away, Inaho!
[17:44] ---
    Stay back, Inko!
[17:46] ---
    No!
[17:46] ---
    Stay there!
[17:48] ---
    Right at that position!
[17:49] ---
    Prepare to meet your maker, Terran!
[17:53] ---
    Right kick thruster jettisoned.
[17:55] ---
    Fire!
[18:03] ---
    The flames aren't being sucked in!
[18:05] ---
    The barrier gap!
[18:15] ---
    You won't get away! Slaine!
[18:26] ---
    What's that?
[18:27] ---
    A high-speed debris cluster.
[18:30] ---
    I picked up a debris cloud closing in
    at high speed on my 3D Doppler radar.

[18:35] ---
    Thanks, Inko. A split second later,
[18:39] ---
    and I'd have been caught in it, too.
[18:44] ---
    Impossible! My Dioscuria,
    brought low by mere debris?!
[18:49] ---
    That wasn't debris.
[18:51] ---
    It was bullets.
[18:52] ---
    I fired them off before the battle began.
[18:55] ---
    They were aimed so that they
    would swing around the Earth

[18:59] ---
    and land at that spot right now.
[19:02] ---
    Slaine?
[19:04] ---
    I had originally meant it as a
    trap to defeat Inaho Kaizuka.

[19:08] ---
    The trick was to disable
    your dimensional barrier,

[19:11] ---
    but I thought that if anyone
    could manage it, it was him.
[19:13] ---
    Slaine...
[19:14] ---
    Shut up!
[19:17] ---
    Did you honestly believe that
    I would swear fealty to you?

[19:25] ---
    To the man who pulled the trigger
    against Princess Asseylum?!
[19:29] ---
    Did you think I would forgive you?!
[19:35] ---
    My second volley will arrive soon.
[19:38] ---
    Goodbye...
[19:43] ---
    ...Father.
[19:50] ---
    Not too shabby.
[20:10] ---
    On this day, I have lost
    my second father.
[20:16] ---
    He was also a great man
    who devoted his life
[20:19] ---
    to the prosperity
    of the Vers Empire.
[20:22] ---
    I hereby announce my resolve
    to carry on both my fathers' legacy
[20:26] ---
    and fight for the even greater
    prosperity of the Vers Empire.
[20:31] ---
    Lords of the Vers Orbital Knights.
[20:34] ---
    This is no time to be squabbling
    amongst each other.

[20:37] ---
    As knights of the noble Vers Empire,
    should we not work

[20:41] ---
    hand in hand to eradicate
    Earth's resistance forces?

[20:44] ---
    In the name of Her Imperial Highness
    Asseylum Vers Allusia!

[20:48] ---
    Let us punish the Terrans who
    dare defy the Vers Empire!

[20:49] ---
    He isn't lying...
[20:52] ---
    Her Highness Asseylum is biding
    her time at our lunar base!

[20:55] ---
    I knew it... She's alive.
[20:56] ---
    In hopes that she may remain—
[21:03] ---
    Milord, you must be exhausted.
[21:10] ---
    Mr. Harklight, you were born into
    the third class, weren't you?
[21:14] ---
    I was.
[21:15] ---
    Though they were poor
    and of a low class,
[21:18] ---
    my father and mother
    worked hard to raise me
[21:20] ---
    and used every means at their disposal
    so that I could serve the Orbital Knights.
[21:25] ---
    Milord Slaine, it is for that reason that
    I have the utmost respect for you.
[21:32] ---
    You, who have attained the rank of
    count even though you are a Terran.
[21:45] ---
    This new era will be
    for people like us.
[21:49] ---
    Let's begin, Harklight.
[21:53] ---
    Yes...
[21:56] ---
    ...Count Slaine Saazbaum Troyard.
SIGN    Pivoting Trap
