[00:03] ---
    The enemy's strategy
    is simple in the extreme.
[00:05] ---
    Use the shockwave from the Landing Castle
    impact to clear out the area,
[00:09] ---
    which both eliminates our own forces
    and gives them a beachhead.
[00:15] ---
    However, we have been making plans
    for this attack for the past 15 years!
[00:20] ---
    We will combine
    all our forces
[00:22] ---
    and we will surround and annihilate the enemy
    before they can deploy any ground troops.
[00:32] ---
    Dismissed!
[02:06] ---
    So that's...
[02:10] ---
    a Martian Landing Castle!
[02:18] ---
    Neutralize them!
[02:25] ---
    Dickhead!
[02:26] ---
    Enemy missiles!
[02:27] ---
    Intercept! RAM!
[02:29] ---
    No, hold on...
[02:51] ---
    Undersea cables Southern Cross,
    Concerto 1 severed!
[02:55] ---
    Miami Landing Station
    has gone silent!
[02:57] ---
    What about comm satellites?!
[03:02] ---
    They're under attack from the
    Landing Castles still in orbit!
[03:05] ---
    Comm links to U.E. HQ and
    branch offices are down!
[03:08] ---
    Alpha Leader to all planes.
    Will now begin attack.

[03:17] ---
    What?!
[03:21] ---
    The fighter squadron was...
[03:24] ---
    One enemy reading detected.
[03:26] ---
    Silver 22!
[03:28] ---
    Jamming, huh?
[03:30] ---
    Lead Silver Squad appears to
    have encountered the enemy.

[03:33] ---
    All units, deploy.
    Attack at will.

[03:40] ---
    That's it?
[03:54] ---
    Commander!
[04:00] ---
    Stupid primitives.
[04:02] ---
    Bow down before the
    might of the gods.
[04:16] ---
    Swear allegiance or be annihilated.
[04:19] ---
    You have but two choices.
[04:33] ---
    Pathetic...
[04:53] ---
    How can this be happening?!
[04:55] ---
    Those are Martian Kataphrakts!
[05:02] ---
    We can't possibly beat these guys...
    We're insects to them.
[05:08] ---
    We're no more than insects...
[05:19] ---
    Child's play.
[05:21] ---
    Count Cruhteo.
[05:24] ---
    We should begin our advance
    on Shinawara right away.
[05:27] ---
    If we plant our flag at the scene
    of Her Highness' tragic death,
[05:31] ---
    it will solidify the righteousness
    of Vers' cause.
[05:35] ---
    Indeed. I had intended
    to do so all along.
[05:37] ---
    However, the more pressing matter
    at hand is securing the drop site.
[05:41] ---
    In that case, Count Cruhteo,
    please allow me that honor.
[05:45] ---
    This is the perfect opportunity to repay you for allowing me
    to impose on your hospitality these many years.
[05:52] ---
    Then I shall delegate the
    task to you, Trillram.
[05:54] ---
    Apprehend this area's leaders and learn the
    details surrounding Her Highness' death.
[06:00] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[06:01] ---
    This is a special report.
[06:02] ---
    Moments ago, major cities around the world came
    under attack by Mars' Vers Imperial Forces.

[06:09] ---
    Due to a communication network
    disturbance of unknown origin

[06:12] ---
    the extent of the damage to these
    cities is unclear at this time...

[06:18] ---
    We have more than enough seats.
    Move in an orderly fashion.
[06:25] ---
    1\an8}Citizens of Shinawara City, an
    evacuation advisory is in effect.
[06:30] ---
    1\an8}Is there anyone here
    who has not left yet?

[06:33] ---
    Tell me...
[06:34] ---
    1\an8}We will be happy to take the infirm
    or elderly to the ferry pier.*
[06:36] ---
    Why were we roped
    into doing this?
[06:39] ---
    We had to, they're shorthanded.
[06:42] ---
    And I can't say no to Inko.
[06:44] ---
    I'll take helping out the
    student council any day.
[06:47] ---
    The fighting's ramping up.
    Are we gonna get drafted someday?
[06:52] ---
    No way. You're not put in the Reserves
    until after you graduate high school, right?
[06:56] ---
    Well, maybe if the fighting drags on
    and there's a shortage of troops...
[07:02] ---
    Inko. Family spotted
    at 10 o'clock.
[07:06] ---
    Dude, seriously?
    Fucking Martians...
[07:12] ---
    Like I said, we got put on standby,
    so I can't leave.

[07:18] ---
    I thought the plan was to
    leave town in your car, Yuki.
[07:21] ---
    Wait, don't tell me you're
    still at our house, Nao!

[07:24] ---
    Why didn't you evacuate
    with everyone else?

[07:27] ---
    Oh, right, I could have
    done that...

[07:29] ---
    Make decisions as circumstances dictate!
    If you have to, trust your gut and make the call!
[07:34] ---
    Isn't that always
    my advice to you?
[07:37] ---
    Penivia...
[07:38] ---
    What?
[07:39] ---
    Never mind. I'll get a lift from one of
    the transports that are patrolling the area.

[07:45] ---
    Be careful.
[07:46] ---
    You, too.
[08:06] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:08] ---
    You really should
    flee the area.
[08:10] ---
    An evacuation advisory is in effect
    for the entire Shinawara area.
[08:14] ---
    Are you tourists?
[08:17] ---
    Do you speak—
[08:20] ---
    My apologies.
[08:28] ---
    Ah, you do understand me.
[08:30] ---
    Yes, thank you for
    your kindness.
[08:33] ---
    Meaning no disrespect, of course, but might I
    ask you a few questions while I have you like this?
[08:39] ---
    Be my guest.
[08:41] ---
    What is this
    "evacuation advisory"?
[08:42] ---
    They say that Tokyo has fallen
    because of the Martian attack.
[08:47] ---
    This area is in danger, too.
[08:48] ---
    We wish to go to the proper authorities
    and inform our people that we are safe.
[08:54] ---
    Your embassy, you mean?
[08:55] ---
    Given the situation,
    I don't think they're open.
[08:58] ---
    Ever since the assassination of the Vers
    crown princess yesterday, the U.E. has—
[09:01] ---
    Princess Asseylum is—
[09:04] ---
    She is alive. She did not
    take part in the parade.
[09:09] ---
    The unaccustomed gravity
    of Earth made her feel ill,
[09:13] ---
    and so a double
    took her place...
[09:17] ---
    I know how she feels...
[09:20] ---
    That's a novel hypothesis.
[09:24] ---
    A transport will be here soon.
    I texted Inko earlier.
[09:30] ---
    You're welcome to join me.
[09:38] ---
    Slaine Troyard... To think that
    you will be acting as my pilot.

[09:46] ---
    I was ordered to do so
    by Count Cruhteo.
[09:49] ---
    No matter. Just don't
    get underfoot, Terran.

[10:00] ---
    You're a lifesaver! I can't believe my
    car picked now to run out of gas.
[10:05] ---
    I expect some gratitude, Doctor.
[10:07] ---
    You, too, Inaho.
[10:09] ---
    Sure.
[10:10] ---
    Don't casually
    ditch us like that.
[10:13] ---
    Still...
[10:16] ---
    Are they Russian? Northern European?
    Don't see many of those in Shinawara.
[10:21] ---
    I don't mind one bit!
    Always happy to see a babe! She's a 10!
[10:28] ---
    Thanks.
[10:30] ---
    Boys...
[10:38] ---
    A KG-7 Areion!
[10:40] ---
    What are you people doing?!
    The evacuation here is supposed to be finished!

[10:44] ---
    That voice...
    Is that you, Yuki?

[10:46] ---
    Inko?! If you're here,
    does that mean Nao is, too?
[10:51] ---
    Oh, for the love of... Why?
[10:53] ---
    Hey, if the Kataphrakt squad
    has been mobilized,

[10:56] ---
    does that mean the enemy's
    on its way to Shinawara?

[10:58] ---
    That's right. High-temperature thermal signatures
    are headed this way from Tokyo.

[11:01] ---
    This area is a projected
    combat zone! Turn around!

[11:04] ---
    But we have to go through here
    to reach the ferry pier!
[11:06] ---
    Whatever! Just find a safe place
    and hunker down!

[11:09] ---
    We'll hold them off!
[11:13] ---
    Inaho...
[11:24] ---
    Enemy fighter formation
    approaching from 1 o'clock!

[11:27] ---
    So, they've turned up
    to die for nothing.
[11:30] ---
    As they wish.
    First, a warning.
[11:35] ---
    Target merge.
    Now attacking.

[11:45] ---
    All missiles, direct hit!
[11:49] ---
    E-Enemy is intact!
[11:51] ---
    It's unscathed!
[11:54] ---
    Scum...
[11:56] ---
    Slaine.
[11:57] ---
    Milord?
[12:05] ---
    Oh, dear... This boy's upbringing
    is sorely lacking, Count Cruhteo!
[12:13] ---
    No matter. I shall take it upon myself
    to educate you in the joys of the battlefield!
[12:22] ---
    It's started...
[12:24] ---
    Message from HQ!
[12:25] ---
    Fighter squadron has encountered
    enemy flying vehicle!
[12:27] ---
    Currently engaging!
[12:29] ---
    What's wrong?
    Our comms reception is bad.
[12:32] ---
    We're being jammed.
[12:33] ---
    They're using powerful EM waves
    to disrupt our chain of command.
[12:36] ---
    Just like 15 years ago.
    It's one of their tricks.
[12:40] ---
    Like you saw anything
    15 years ago, you fraud...
[12:57] ---
    Crap! He's on my 6!
[12:59] ---
    Moving to assist!
[13:07] ---
    What the—?
[13:24] ---
    There is no beauty in the struggle if one
    is unaware that one is about to die.
[13:40] ---
    Well, Slaine?
[13:42] ---
    How does it feel to watch from on high
    as your former countrymen die so pathetically?
[13:49] ---
    Fighter squadron... wiped out.
[13:51] ---
    Enemy flying vehicle is continuing
    its advance towards Shinawara.

[13:56] ---
    Let's hurry.
[13:58] ---
    That's our ride.
[13:59] ---
    Yeah.
[14:00] ---
    And now, as per our agreement, we'll return home
    to our motherland of Vers and be knighted.
[14:08] ---
    It's been a difficult mission,
    hasn't it, Rayet?
[14:12] ---
    No, Father.
[14:14] ---
    We are above the target area.
[14:16] ---
    All right, set me down.
[14:17] ---
    Yes, Milord.
    Nilokeras, disconnect.

[14:25] ---
    Here he comes.
[14:35] ---
    Sir Trillram! We have
    awaited your arrival!
[14:38] ---
    Congratulations on completing
    this important mission.
[14:50] ---
    It's... the light of Aldnoah!
[14:59] ---
    And now, farewell,
    my good rats!
[15:07] ---
    We mustn't have you squeaking at an
    inopportune time in the future, you see.
[15:16] ---
    What have we here?
    If it isn't an adorable baby rat!
[15:24] ---
    You won't escape me!
[15:35] ---
    Enemy Kataphrakt spotted!
[15:38] ---
    Bastard... It's attacking a civilian!
[15:40] ---
    Commence attack.
    We'll make quick work of him.
[15:43] ---
    Keep laser comms open.
    Maintain coordination.
[15:46] ---
    But, sir!
[15:46] ---
    I said, commence attack! Fire!
[15:49] ---
    Cease fire! Assisting the
    civilian has priority!
[15:54] ---
    What the hell?
    Our shells, they aren't—
[15:55] ---
    Warrant Officer Kaizuka!
    Secure the survivor. I'll cover you!

[15:58] ---
    Roger!
[15:59] ---
    Lt. Marito!
    This is my platoon!
[16:01] ---
    Don't go around
    issuing orders!

[16:10] ---
    What are they playing at?
[16:14] ---
    Go!
[16:29] ---
    Get in!
[16:33] ---
    Civilian secured!
[16:34] ---
    Grenades!
[16:35] ---
    I told you not to give orders!
[16:41] ---
    What the hell is the deal
    with that thing's body?!
[16:43] ---
    Stay calm!
[16:46] ---
    Cut loose with
    everything you have!

[17:12] ---
    What in the world?
[17:14] ---
    The meddlers have been dealt with.
    Now, back to my rat problem...
[17:18] ---
    Run, Kaizuka!
[17:30] ---
    Lt. Marito!
[17:31] ---
    Die with cowardice,
    or die with foolhardy valor?
[17:35] ---
    Do you think you are making
    a noble choice here?
[17:55] ---
    A pity.
[17:57] ---
    Lt. Marito!
[18:07] ---
    HQ, come in! HQ!
[18:11] ---
    Is it just me, or have we been
    driving around in circles?
[18:14] ---
    What else do you
    expect me to do?!
[18:15] ---
    This is Warrant Officer Kaizuka.
    Do you copy?

[18:18] ---
    Yuki?!
[18:24] ---
    Take this girl aboard
    and gun it!
[18:26] ---
    Warrant Kaizuka! What's going on?!
[18:29] ---
    Hop to it!
[18:38] ---
    Sergeant!
[18:43] ---
    Old man!
[18:48] ---
    Don't give me any
    more trouble, little rat!
[19:03] ---
    Inko! Go faster!
[19:05] ---
    I'm trying!
[19:06] ---
    He's gonna catch up!
[19:08] ---
    We're too heavy!
[19:10] ---
    Brake.
[19:12] ---
    Slam on the brakes.
[19:14] ---
    Come again?
[19:15] ---
    Hurry. Brake!
[19:22] ---
    Now hit the gas!
[19:24] ---
    Right!
[19:34] ---
    Stand still!
[19:36] ---
    Okojo!
[19:37] ---
    We have to save Yuki!
[19:39] ---
    Damn it, it's too dangerous!
[19:45] ---
    Sorry!
[19:46] ---
    I'm fine!
[19:48] ---
    Now leave him in the dust!
[20:02] ---
    Inaho!
[20:09] ---
    Inaho...
[20:12] ---
    Need a hand?
[20:22] ---
    Okisuke...
[20:34] ---
    I toyed with them too long, eh?
[20:42] ---
    Good job.
[20:45] ---
    We're safe now, you two!
    He isn't follow—
[20:54] ---
    Hey, Inaho.
    Where's Okojo?
[21:03] ---
    No way...
[21:08] ---
    Warrant Officer Kaizuka,
    this is Marito.

[21:11] ---
    Do you copy?
[21:13] ---
    Instructor Marito...
[21:14] ---
    Kaizuka!
[21:15] ---
    Listen close. That Martian
    is following you.

[21:18] ---
    He hasn't attacked
    the ferry pier yet.

[21:20] ---
    Draw him away as best you can.
    But don't be a hero.

[21:24] ---
    Make it back in one piece.
[21:29] ---
    Inaho?
[21:30] ---
    He says that that guy
    is still following us.
[21:34] ---
    But we might be able to buy time for
    the ferry with the refugees to leave port.
[21:40] ---
    If we act as decoys.
[21:42] ---
    Whoa, what are you saying?
[21:44] ---
    If we take the utility tunnels,
    we can reach the school from here.
[21:47] ---
    And do what?!
[21:49] ---
    There are trainers in the hangar.
    And live-fire training rounds.
[21:54] ---
    Come on, man...
[21:56] ---
    Let's fight. Yuki and the
    others tried, now it's our turn.
[22:04] ---
    Let's fight that
    Martian Kataphrakt.
