[00:02] ---
    This is justice!
[00:04] ---
    In response to the cowardly act of the Terrans
    who turned on Princess Asseylum,
[00:08] ---
    who came down to Earth in order to
    make herself a bridge of peace,
[00:12] ---
    we Orbital Knights must
    deal them a crushing blow!
[00:16] ---
    The Terrans' spilled blood will be
    our tribute to Her Highness!
[00:49] ---
    Okay, keep it coming!
[00:53] ---
    I was a nervous wreck! I thought I was
    going to step on you, Matsuribi-senpai!
[00:57] ---
    If you had, you'd get hit with a
    lot worse than point deductions.

[01:02] ---
    That ain't even funny,
    right, Yutaro-chan?
[01:05] ---
    I wish you'd stop
    calling me that...
[01:13] ---
    Can you climb down?
[01:14] ---
    Yes.
[01:15] ---
    Thank you for your concern.
[03:25] ---
    What's going on?
[03:26] ---
    The landing craft's radar has picked up
    multiple massive bodies above Shinawara.
[03:33] ---
    A meteor bombardment...
[03:35] ---
    Freaking Martians!
[03:40] ---
    We made it out just in time.
[03:51] ---
    You're safe!
[03:52] ---
    Yes. Thank you, Eddelrittuo.
    How go things here?
[03:56] ---
    No change, Milady.
[03:59] ---
    I see. Thank goodness.
[04:04] ---
    Good work out there, Nao.
[04:07] ---
    Yuki...
[04:08] ---
    I mean it, good job.
[04:11] ---
    It's due entirely to the guidance of your
    good-natured, beautiful instructor, I'm sure.
[04:19] ---
    You did good.
[04:22] ---
    You, too.
[04:27] ---
    Nina!
[04:30] ---
    Inko!
[04:31] ---
    You came to rescue us!
[04:33] ---
    Yeah. When I didn't see your names on
    the ferries' passenger manifests, I...
[04:39] ---
    It's a relief, huh?
[04:41] ---
    Yeah.
[04:42] ---
    She's my favorite.
[04:46] ---
    The city is gone, isn't it?
[04:48] ---
    Yeah...
[04:50] ---
    It's only a matter of time
    before we...
[04:52] ---
    No way. We're gonna survive this,
    mark my words.
[04:57] ---
    If that's your plan,
[05:01] ---
    then maybe you should start
    by dodging that?
[05:03] ---
    Right? Right? Left?
    Right? Right? Left?
[05:05] ---
    Quick exhaust.
[05:13] ---
    Sheesh, what's the helmsman doing?
[05:17] ---
    Um...
[05:19] ---
    Sure.
[05:20] ---
    Thank you for earlier, er...
[05:23] ---
    Inaho. Inaho Kaizuka.
[05:28] ---
    Thank you so much, Inaho. I am-
[05:33] ---
    Please, call me Seylum.
[05:38] ---
    I'll do that, Seylum.
[05:41] ---
    If it is not too much trouble, perhaps
    you could show me around the ship?
[05:49] ---
    Inaho?
[05:56] ---
    But Milady, you-
[05:57] ---
    It's all right.
[06:04] ---
    Let us try that again. I am
    Asseylum Vers Allusia.
[06:09] ---
    Emperor Vers' granddaughter.
[06:13] ---
    That's the real you?
[06:15] ---
    My earlier appearance is the
    result of what I am told
[06:18] ---
    is a form of optical camouflage
    that employs holography.
[06:21] ---
    The princess was assassinated on the day
    of the parade. I saw the whole thing.
[06:26] ---
    She was-
[06:27] ---
    A double.
[06:29] ---
    Her Highness was not
    feeling well that day.
[06:33] ---
    For that reason, the skeptical security detail
    leader insisted that a double be used.
[06:38] ---
    So that wasn't a hypothesis.
[06:40] ---
    When my grandfather the emperor
    learns that I am alive and well,
[06:43] ---
    this war will come to
    an end immediately.
[06:46] ---
    I wish to get in touch with
    Vers as soon as possible.
[06:50] ---
    How?
[06:52] ---
    At the very least, it would be
    difficult to do from here.
[06:54] ---
    Their jamming makes long-range
    communications impossible.
[06:57] ---
    And our telecommunications bases have been
    destroyed, so we can't use the Net, either.
[07:02] ---
    But we can take you to a facility that
    can contact the Vers government.
[07:08] ---
    I'll talk to my sister Yuki
    and the others about it.
[07:10] ---
    You mustn't do that!
[07:11] ---
    There is a Vers spy hidden
    amongst the Terrans!
[07:15] ---
    In league with those assassins, no doubt!
[07:17] ---
    The spy wishes to see
    Her Highness dead!
[07:21] ---
    I do apologize for dragging you
    into our problems.
[07:27] ---
    I beg you, keep this
    matter between us.
[07:35] ---
    I'm really glad that we
    have you here, Dr. Yagarai.
[07:38] ---
    I haven't used exoskeleton
    therapy in a long time.
[07:41] ---
    Please refrain from doing anything crazy.
    This is only temporary.
[07:45] ---
    It'll do, it'll do!
[07:47] ---
    Just because you aren't in pain doesn't mean
    there isn't any strain on your system.
[07:50] ---
    When that anesthetic wears off,
    it's going to be unpleasant.
[07:53] ---
    I've got it, don't worry. I'll come in
    for fine-tuning later, okay?
[07:59] ---
    Or maybe I should have you make a few
    more adjustments while you're here...
[08:06] ---
    Oh, so Okisuke was...
[08:09] ---
    Man, he was a moron
    up to the very end...
[08:12] ---
    A moron and a perv
    and a slacker.
[08:15] ---
    Poor bastard, dying and then
    getting chewed out like this...
[08:20] ---
    He shouldn't have
    gotten himself killed, then.
[08:24] ---
    Inko...
[08:25] ---
    They started a war
    and destroyed the Moon.
[08:28] ---
    Heaven's Fall wrecked the Earth.
[08:31] ---
    They've been up there in the Satellite Belt
    looking down on us ever since!
[08:35] ---
    I'll make them pay! For Okojo and
    every other Terran who was killed!
[08:40] ---
    Martian sons of bitches...
[08:43] ---
    About earlier...
[08:45] ---
    What will you do?
    Keep her secret?
[08:48] ---
    In an extreme situation where there's
    no telling when an enemy will come,
[08:51] ---
    human beings aren't known for
    remaining calm and rational.
[08:55] ---
    If they found out that she's a Martian, there's
    no telling what might happen to her.
[09:00] ---
    You're a real softie, aren't you?
    Showing concern for the enemy?
[09:04] ---
    She isn't the enemy.
[09:07] ---
    The enemy is the people who
    tried to assassinate her.
[09:11] ---
    If what she says is true, we need to deliver
    her... Seylum, safely to United Earth HQ.
[09:19] ---
    And you?
[09:20] ---
    Rayet.
[09:21] ---
    My name.
    It's Rayet Areash.
[09:24] ---
    What about you, Rayet?
[09:26] ---
    I'll make no guarantees.
[09:29] ---
    If I think we're in danger,
    I'll spill everything.
[09:32] ---
    Martians are all the enemy.
[09:41] ---
    Sir Trillram... is dead, you say?
[09:43] ---
    Yes, Milord. He was caught
    in the meteor bombardment.
[09:46] ---
    Swine... To think one of us would target my
    occupied territory under the cover of the battle!
[09:51] ---
    Have they no honor as a fellow
    Orbital Knight with a common goal?
[10:00] ---
    Very well. Sooner or later, I shall uncover
    his identity and mete out his punishment.
[10:05] ---
    Summon Vlad!
[10:06] ---
    Hunt down the remnant Terrans
    and burn this place to ashes!
[10:09] ---
    We shall avenge
    Her Highness!
[10:11] ---
    Milord Count.
[10:14] ---
    About Princess Asseylum...
[10:15] ---
    That's why I'm going to kill her
    and make certain this time!

[10:21] ---
    What?
[10:23] ---
    Nothing, Milord. Inflicting further devastation
    upon a previously conquered area...
[10:28] ---
    Given Princess Asseylum's sentiments,
    might that not be...
[10:30] ---
    Oh. You imply that you wish to
    have some say in avenging her?
[10:38] ---
    Know your place, Terran!
[10:40] ---
    You think yourself worthy of
    doing battle at Vers' side?
[10:43] ---
    For 15 long years, we Orbital Knights
    ingloriously looked out at the Earth
[10:47] ---
    from the shattered Moon, yearning for the
    day we would reach out and take it!
[10:54] ---
    With her death, the Princess has made
    that cherished dream a reality!
[10:57] ---
    This battle belongs to the Orbital Knights.
    It is no concern of yours!
[11:06] ---
    He's trying to exploit
    the Princess' death, too.

[11:10] ---
    Trillram was an invited guest
    at Castle Cruhteo...

[11:15] ---
    If we let her live, my entire clan and its
    followers will be branded as traitors!

[11:20] ---
    "We"... This assassination
    conspiracy has a ringleader.

[11:25] ---
    Count Cruhteo?
    No, it couldn't be...

[11:29] ---
    What should I do?
[11:47] ---
    Power down engines!
[11:48] ---
    Power down engines!
[11:53] ---
    Captain Magbaredge!
[11:55] ---
    I'm glad you're safe!
    We've been waiting for you!
[11:57] ---
    Commander Nakabayashi. Good work.
    Where's everyone else?
[12:01] ---
    The amphibious assault craft Wadatsumi is
    currently taking a longer, safer route.
[12:05] ---
    The seas are a mess thanks
    to that meteor bombardment.
[12:10] ---
    On XO Mizusaki's orders, we went ahead
    in Craft #1 with Appaloosa Platoon.
[12:15] ---
    We are here to support you and defend the
    refugees until the Wadatsumi arrives.
[12:20] ---
    That's a big help.
[12:22] ---
    Still... this place was
    abandoned, wasn't it?
[12:26] ---
    Even though there's been no
    damage to this area yet.
[12:29] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[12:30] ---
    It's a wise decision.
[12:32] ---
    Digging in only makes the damage worse.
    The best thing is to bug out.
[12:38] ---
    Exactly the opinion I'd expect from someone
    who lived through the war 15 years ago.
[12:43] ---
    We'll wait for the Wadatsumi to arrive.
[12:46] ---
    Have anyone who isn't busy help with
    resupplying the landing craft.
[12:49] ---
    Understood.
[13:00] ---
    We'll leave your rations here!
[13:02] ---
    Thanks.
[13:03] ---
    It's unusual for you
    to offer to help out, Calm.
[13:06] ---
    Yeah, you always played hooky
    from military drills.
[13:09] ---
    That was then.
[13:11] ---
    Now, I'll do anything if it means
    wiping out the Martians.
[13:14] ---
    I've set up a three-shift
    perimeter watch.
[13:17] ---
    Any word from
    the Wadatsumi?
[13:19] ---
    No, the jamming's too intense.
[13:22] ---
    I can't believe a signal can't
    cross a few dozen miles.
[13:24] ---
    We'll continue scanning.
[13:36] ---
    Appaloosa Leader,
    this is Appaloosa 33.
[13:39] ---
    Have located friendly unit.
    Appears to be damaged.
[13:44] ---
    What's the matter,
    Appaloosa 33?

[13:47] ---
    What's that?
[13:58] ---
    We're under attack!
[14:04] ---
    What the hell?
[14:09] ---
    All hands to battle stations.
[14:10] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
    Prep Craft #1 for liftoff ASAP!
[14:13] ---
    Get inside, everyone!
[14:18] ---
    Appaloosa 33, sitrep!
[14:21] ---
    Enemy Kataphrakts, 1.
[14:23] ---
    Hiding behind building.
    Currently engaging.

[14:26] ---
    Surround it and fire at will.
    All units, spread out.

[14:32] ---
    Projectile weapons?
    How crude.
[14:34] ---
    Witness the power of my
    customized Kataphrakt, the Argyre!
[14:40] ---
    Aldnoah output climbing.
    Connecting to energy joints.
[14:45] ---
    Deploying blade field.
[14:49] ---
    Aldnoah drive output at maximum.
    Plasma generator startup preparations complete.
[15:13] ---
    Sword drawn.
[15:14] ---
    Open fire!
[15:23] ---
    Some kind of laser weapon?
    No... It's a katana?
[15:48] ---
    Appaloosa 33!
[15:52] ---
    Message from Craft #1.
[15:53] ---
    Put it on speaker.
[15:55] ---
    Captain Magbaredge!
[15:56] ---
    Status?
[15:57] ---
    Not good, ma'am.
    How about on your end?

[16:00] ---
    Fueling complete!
[16:01] ---
    Refugee boarding complete!
[16:03] ---
    We'll lift off, too.
[16:04] ---
    We'll get some distance and
    finish this with SSMs.
[16:07] ---
    Let's regroup out at sea!
[16:24] ---
    A Mars Knight...
[16:35] ---
    Sitrep!
[16:37] ---
    Damage to hull! Negligible!
[16:38] ---
    Will not affect seaworthiness!
[16:41] ---
    APU shutting down!
[16:43] ---
    Unable to power up engines!
[16:44] ---
    I'll go look.
[16:45] ---
    I'll go, too!
[16:47] ---
    What the hell?!
[16:48] ---
    Hey! Calm!
[16:52] ---
    The main engine looks okay.
[16:54] ---
    Make temporary repairs!
[17:00] ---
    That isn't the same type
    as the one this afternoon.
[17:02] ---
    That thing in its hand...
    Is that a beam katana?
[17:06] ---
    Like I care.
[17:08] ---
    I shall speak with
    that knight.
[17:09] ---
    Mila-
[17:11] ---
    It's too dangerous! What if he is
    in league with the assassins?
[17:15] ---
    I am aware of the risk. But that is
    the only way to keep everyone safe.
[17:21] ---
    No! You were lucky
    this afternoon, nothing more!
[17:25] ---
    You must never do something
    so reckless again!
[17:27] ---
    Please stay here.
[17:30] ---
    Stay here.
[17:36] ---
    Inaho?!
[17:37] ---
    I'll buy us some time.
    You two get inside.
[17:41] ---
    We're your friends, aren't we?
    We'll help!
[17:44] ---
    Thanks.
[17:45] ---
    Hey, you two!
[17:46] ---
    Inko, I need you up there.
[17:51] ---
    Up where?
[18:17] ---
    Trainers?
[18:18] ---
    Inaho?
[18:19] ---
    Engine room!
[18:21] ---
    We're patching straight
    into the pressure tank!
[18:30] ---
    No luck with HE rounds, huh?
    Then let's try AP rounds.

[18:37] ---
    Clever. Rounds that contain no
    explosives won't detonate in midair.
[18:43] ---
    Nevertheless!
[18:49] ---
    The tips are evaporating and throwing
    off the bullets' trajectory...
[18:53] ---
    The Leidenfrost effect, huh?
    The heat it's putting out is incredible...
[19:00] ---
    A pincer attack, eh?
[19:15] ---
    What?!
[19:21] ---
    How amusing. But how long can
    you last in that Kataphrakt?
[19:31] ---
    Damn it!
[19:32] ---
    This is the end.
[19:34] ---
    Maybe a little more
    to the right...
[19:40] ---
    Bingo.
[19:47] ---
    My main monitor!
[19:49] ---
    Calm.
[19:49] ---
    Finally!
[19:50] ---
    One more time!
[19:53] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[19:54] ---
    I guess not!
[20:02] ---
    Who do you insects
    think you are?!
[20:10] ---
    Sorry we're late,
    Captain Magbaredge.

[20:13] ---
    It took a long time to
    find a safe route.
[20:15] ---
    Mizusaki, would you like to know
    why you can't get a date?
[20:20] ---
    I thought you were supposed to
    arrive fashionably late, ma'am.

[20:22] ---
    That's a tactic that you use
    after you've landed a date.

[20:25] ---
    The smoke's cleared!
    Now able to target!
[20:28] ---
    Disable fuses on rounds.
[20:30] ---
    Kataphrakt Platoon, take aim!
[20:37] ---
    Fire!
[20:44] ---
    Come on!
[20:48] ---
    We have pressure!
    Turbine RPMs climbing!
[20:51] ---
    Ignition!
[20:53] ---
    Let's withdraw.
[20:54] ---
    Roger!
[21:01] ---
    You think you can get away?!
[21:10] ---
    You're not worth my time!
[21:15] ---
    Exactly as planned, huh?
[21:17] ---
    What plan?! That was really
    close back there!
[21:20] ---
    It's not like you to be
    so reckless, Inaho.
[21:24] ---
    I suppose it isn't.
[21:29] ---
    Maybe you're right.
[21:40] ---
    What is it, Slaine?
[21:42] ---
    Please allow me to avenge
    Princess Asseylum!
[21:47] ---
    As I recall, I told you
    that you are not worthy.
[21:53] ---
    Begone, Terran.
[21:56] ---
    Let me...
[21:59] ---
    ...go into battle!
