[03:13] ---
    How can this be?
[03:16] ---
    My granddaughter Asseylum, assassinated,
[03:19] ---
    and we go to war against Earth without
    so much as a declaration?
[03:23] ---
    Surely they knew what would come
    of harming a goodwill ambassador.
[03:28] ---
    Knowing that, why?
[03:31] ---
    What is going on there
[03:32] ---
    without my knowledge?
[03:35] ---
    We are told that the assassination
    was a terrorist act.
[03:38] ---
    But does that not imply no hostile
    intent on the part of the UE?
[03:42] ---
    It is obvious that anti-Vers
    factions exist on Earth.
[03:46] ---
    To allow this assassination
    in spite of that
[03:49] ---
    leads me to believe that her
    security was deliberately lax.
[03:52] ---
    There is also the possibility
    that the assassination
[03:54] ---
    was perpetrated by the UE government under
    the guise of a terrorist attack.
[03:58] ---
    To what end?
[03:59] ---
    Her Highness is of royal blood, one able
    to summon forth the power of Aldnoah.
[04:04] ---
    That bloodline is the very foundation
    of the Vers Empire's might.
[04:08] ---
    This is baffling.
[04:12] ---
    Inform the UE government that we
    are suspending hostilities.
[04:15] ---
    And then uncover
    the truth.
[04:19] ---
    Yes, Majesty.
[04:22] ---
    How goes the war,
    Count Cruhteo?
[04:26] ---
    All goes well.
[04:28] ---
    Tokyo and its surrounding cities
    have been conquered,
[04:31] ---
    and Shinawara, where Princess Asseylum
    fell, is already in our hands.
[04:35] ---
    Well done.
[04:37] ---
    Incidentally, where is
    Sir Trillram?
[04:40] ---
    Is he still out distinguishing himself
    on the battlefield?
[04:44] ---
    As to that... I regret to inform you
    that he has fallen in battle.
[04:48] ---
    Fallen in battle?
[04:50] ---
    Is this true?!
[04:52] ---
    Yes. It is most regrettable.
[04:55] ---
    He was caught in the meteor bombardment
    that some ruffian launched on my territory.
[05:00] ---
    That is not possible...
[05:03] ---
    Odd. I informed him
    of the bombardment.
[05:07] ---
    He should not have been
    caught in it unawares.
[05:09] ---
    Sir Trillram served me well
    as my guest.
[05:13] ---
    To think that he should be taken
    from us in this manner...
[05:16] ---
    We shall pray for the soul
    of our brave warrior.
[05:19] ---
    On that note, did anyone
    witness his end?
[05:32] ---
    What should I do?
[05:34] ---
    They knew Princess Asseylum
    was alive, and yet...
[05:38] ---
    If I do nothing, she really will
    be assassinated sooner or later.
[05:41] ---
    I want it repaired immediately!
[05:43] ---
    Don't just stand there!
[05:47] ---
    The Argyre... Its head!
[05:55] ---
    Thank goodness you
    are unharmed, Sir Vlad!
[05:57] ---
    You call this unharmed?!
[06:00] ---
    My honor has been tarnished!
[06:05] ---
    Was your opponent
    that powerful?
[06:07] ---
    No. I was made a fool of by some
    orange, impudent cur!
[06:13] ---
    What are you doing here?
[06:16] ---
    Should you not be at
    the Count's side?
[06:19] ---
    I was disciplined.
    For speaking out of turn.
[06:23] ---
    Speaking out of turn?
[06:25] ---
    I said that I wished him
    to send me into battle, too.
[06:28] ---
    You're just like them, I see.
[06:31] ---
    You're a Terran. Impudent.
[06:35] ---
    You are that eager to distinguish
    yourself in battle and win favor?
[06:39] ---
    Pathetic.
[06:40] ---
    It's not like that! I just...
[06:44] ---
    Her Highness, I want to...
[06:49] ---
    Pathetic.
[06:58] ---
    Oh, I get it.
    This puts it on autopilot.
[07:01] ---
    What are your names?
[07:03] ---
    Nina Klein.
[07:05] ---
    I'm Yutaro Tsumugi.
[07:06] ---
    Kisaki Matsuribi.
[07:08] ---
    Wait, are we going to
    be sent into battle?
[07:11] ---
    No way. These are just
    supplementary lessons.
[07:15] ---
    Just to cover our bases.
[07:17] ---
    Gotcha.
[07:18] ---
    They're covering their bases...
[07:21] ---
    You're the one who drove off
    the enemy Kataphrakt, Amifumi?
[07:25] ---
    Yes, Capt. Magbaredge!
[07:28] ---
    Actually, it was this boy
    who planned the operation.
[07:31] ---
    Operation?
[07:34] ---
    Go on!
[07:35] ---
    I don't think it was elaborate
    enough to call an "operation."
[07:39] ---
    You were the pilot
    of that trainer?
[07:42] ---
    Yes, ma'am. I'm Inaho Kaizuka.
[07:45] ---
    Kaizuka?
[07:46] ---
    Yes, ma'am. Warrant Officer
    Kaizuka is my sister,
[07:50] ---
    That was fine work, Inaho.
[07:52] ---
    Your efforts saved the lives of many
    of my crew, as well as the civilians.
[07:58] ---
    Your sister must be proud.
[08:00] ---
    If you were enlisted, I'd be tempted
    to put you in for commendations.
[08:07] ---
    Commendations?
[08:09] ---
    Medals.
[08:12] ---
    That's amazing!
    We could get medals!
[08:15] ---
    Amazing? Is it?
[08:17] ---
    Of course it is! I've never
    seen anyone with a medal!
[08:20] ---
    That's only because nobody's seen
    any real fighting for so long.
[08:25] ---
    Instructor Marito!
[08:26] ---
    "Instructor"? Does this look
    like a school to you?
[08:30] ---
    My apologies, Lt. Marito.
[08:33] ---
    Medals are gonna be a whole
    lot more common soon.
[08:37] ---
    We're in a war. Honor is about the
    only reward they can hand out.
[08:41] ---
    Well, dying for honor
    isn't such a bad thing.
[08:45] ---
    Because it's hard to survive
    and live in misery.
[08:48] ---
    Lt. Marito.
[08:50] ---
    Do you have a moment?
[08:53] ---
    Hanging out your shingle
    on a military boat, Doc?
[08:56] ---
    Those who do not work
    do not eat.
[08:59] ---
    I can't say that I appreciate you shattering
    those kids' illusions, Lieutenant.
[09:12] ---
    You aren't hitting
    the bottle, I see.
[09:14] ---
    I'm so touched
    that you trust me.
[09:16] ---
    I thought you might be picking on
    those kids because you were drunk.
[09:19] ---
    Maybe I am under the influence.
    Of my lot in life.
[09:27] ---
    The Tanegashima Report,
    you mean?
[09:30] ---
    Sins you've committed cling to
    your soul and haunt you forever.
[09:34] ---
    And sins that have gone unpunished
    aren't forgiven until you die.
[09:45] ---
    Humeray...
[09:48] ---
    Your hands are clean.
    On the contrary, you saved his life.
[09:55] ---
    Is that what I did?
[10:00] ---
    Hey, what's up?
[10:01] ---
    It's from Mars!
[10:03] ---
    They say they've announced
    an armistice!
[10:06] ---
    Attention, foolish people of Earth.
[10:09] ---
    Rayregalia Vers Rayvers,
    noble emperor of the Vers Empire,
[10:14] ---
    has issued an armistice declaration
    to the United Earth government.
[10:19] ---
    Even as we feel intense shame in
    our common ancestry with you,
[10:19] ---
    We can barely transmit at all... All we get
    are these pirate broadcasts of theirs.
[10:22] ---
    our desire is that this act conveys to
    you, the deeply sinful people of Earth
[10:24] ---
    So what's this mean,
    the war's on hold for now?
[10:27] ---
    who took the life of Her Highness
    Princess Asseylum,
[10:28] ---
    Grandfather must be trying to put a stop
    to the knights' outrageous behavior.
[10:30] ---
    the profound compassion
    of His Imperial Majesty Rayregalia.
[10:34] ---
    The emperor of Mars?
[10:34] ---
    I repeat, Rayregalia Vers Ravers,
    noble emperor of the Vers Empire...
[10:36] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
[10:37] ---
    They say that His Imperial Majesty has issued
    an armistice declaration to the UE government.
[10:42] ---
    Over our heads?! Without so much
    as a word to the Orbital Knights?
[10:49] ---
    I must offer counsel
    to His Majesty...
[10:53] ---
    I shall use the
    audience chamber!
[10:55] ---
    Call the moon base!
[10:56] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[11:00] ---
    He was not killed in the
    meteor bombardment, then?
[11:04] ---
    No, Milord.
[11:05] ---
    The Nilokeras appears to have been
    damaged in battle and then deserted.
[11:11] ---
    There is someone whose actions
    I wish to look into.
[11:13] ---
    Infiltrate Castle Cruhteo
    and continue your investigation.
[11:17] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[11:39] ---
    They open hostilities without warning
    and then stop just as abruptly.
[11:43] ---
    This whole thing doesn't
    make any sense.
[11:45] ---
    Do you suppose that means the enemy
    isn't monolithic, either?
[11:48] ---
    Has anyone tried
    to contact us?
[11:50] ---
    No, ma'am. The jamming
    is still too strong.
[11:57] ---
    Where are you going, Milady?
[12:00] ---
    To speak with
    this ship's master.
[12:03] ---
    I shall tell her
    who I really am.
[12:06] ---
    Princess, you-
[12:10] ---
    And then I shall have her
    inform Vers of my safety.
[12:14] ---
    Doing so will end this war.
[12:17] ---
    It's too dangerous! The rebels will come
    for you before word reaches His Majesty!
[12:21] ---
    Which is exactly why this armistice
    provides us with the perfect opportunity.
[12:25] ---
    Don't underestimate them.
[12:30] ---
    They aren't the sort to obey
    the terms of an armistice.
[12:33] ---
    You'll just get yourself crushed.
[12:35] ---
    But the longer this war drags on,
    the more casualties there will be.
[12:39] ---
    If you want to die,
    that's your decision.
[12:42] ---
    But leave me out of it.
[12:51] ---
    An attack?
[12:52] ---
    But there's an armistice!
[13:01] ---
    It simply won't do
    for the war to end
[13:04] ---
    without me having a chance
    to redeem my honor!
[13:06] ---
    Bastard... He wants revenge?
[13:10] ---
    Lieutenant! Where are you going?!
[13:11] ---
    Launch Kataphrakts! Intercept!
[13:15] ---
    Captain, I suggest
    relocating to CIC.
[13:17] ---
    I'm fine here.
[13:22] ---
    Unacceptable!
[13:24] ---
    What is His Majesty thinking?!
[13:27] ---
    His own flesh and blood
    was killed!
[13:32] ---
    Assemble a fact-finding mission.
[13:34] ---
    As per His Majesty's orders, we shall uncover
    the details of the Princess' assassination!
[13:38] ---
    Yes, Milord!
[13:50] ---
    I can... I can use this
    to speak to His Majesty!
[14:09] ---
    I'm back on-
[14:10] ---
    Come! Let us pick up
    where we left off!
[14:16] ---
    Draw sword!
[14:34] ---
    Aldaniti Platoon, prepare for launch.
    Raising elevator #2.
[14:40] ---
    All units, don't use HE rounds.
    Engage using AP rounds.
[15:23] ---
    Bastard!
[15:24] ---
    Wait!
[15:28] ---
    He's using the bridge
    as a shield!
[15:32] ---
    Nao!
[15:36] ---
    Draw sword.
[15:38] ---
    What are you doing?
    Come down from there!
[15:40] ---
    I could say the same to you, Yuki.
    You're injured.
[15:42] ---
    We're short on pilots!
[15:44] ---
    Then it'll be just as good
    if I go out instead.
[15:47] ---
    Where are my pajamas?
[15:49] ---
    The ones with the patches.
[16:08] ---
    Majesty!
[16:14] ---
    Who are you?
[16:16] ---
    Slaine Troyard, Majesty.
[16:19] ---
    Slaine? Ah, it has been
    a long time.
[16:24] ---
    It has, Majesty.
[16:26] ---
    What is the purpose
    of this visit?
[16:29] ---
    There is a matter that I must
    inform you of, Majesty.
[16:33] ---
    The truth is, Princess
    Asseylum is alive.
[16:39] ---
    I have seen her
    with my own two eyes.
[16:43] ---
    It was the Orbital Knights who made the attempt
    on her life in their lust for war with Earth.
[16:49] ---
    But their attempt failed,
[16:53] ---
    and Princess Asseylum is alive
    somewhere on Earth!
[17:03] ---
    So, you show yourself,
[17:05] ---
    my nemesis.
[17:16] ---
    A trainer?
[17:18] ---
    I don't believe it, is that-
[17:19] ---
    Inaho?!
[17:20] ---
    A tactical suit isn't gonna
    protect you against that!
[17:25] ---
    There is no armor my blades
    cannot slice through!
[17:28] ---
    This will be over
    in an instant!
[17:40] ---
    Inaho!
[17:52] ---
    Yeah!
[17:56] ---
    Reactive armor. Armor plates
    that are made of explosives.
[18:00] ---
    They were originally designed to detonate
    and deflect incoming enemy fire.
[18:04] ---
    Damn you!
[18:08] ---
    He's using the blasts to disperse
    the blade's plasma?!
[18:14] ---
    Control! Tilt the ship!
[18:17] ---
    Mizusaki!
[18:18] ---
    Flood ballast!
    Open well dock hatch!
[18:31] ---
    Unhand me!
[18:36] ---
    I'd be glad to.
[18:44] ---
    Backpack dumped.
    Bailing out.
[18:50] ---
    What the-
[19:03] ---
    Inaho!
[19:04] ---
    What just happened?!
[19:06] ---
    Steam explosion.
[19:08] ---
    The massive amount of thermal energy in those
    blades flashed the seawater to steam
[19:14] ---
    and the impact from the high
    pressure steam destroyed him.
[19:21] ---
    Inaho Kaizuka... He hardly
    seems like a student, does he?
[19:26] ---
    No, ma'am. He's a surprisingly
    useful boy.
[19:30] ---
    Mizusaki. Shall I tell you
    why you can't get a date?
[19:35] ---
    Don't partners prefer
    a forthright personality?
[19:38] ---
    Yours isn't forthright.
    It's unfiltered.
[19:47] ---
    Let's go pick him up!
[20:19] ---
    If what you say is true,
[20:22] ---
    it is most regrettable indeed.
[20:25] ---
    I beg you, Majesty, please stop
    this war without delay.
[20:28] ---
    And please rescue
    Princess Asseylum.
[20:32] ---
    I shall see to it at once.
[20:35] ---
    Thank you, Your Majesty.
    I shall take my leave.
[20:44] ---
    It is exactly as you said,
    Count Saazbaum.
[20:52] ---
    The Terrans are not
    to be trusted.
[20:55] ---
    They have spies everywhere,
[20:57] ---
    and are scheming to overthrow Vers if
    the opportunity should present itself.
[21:01] ---
    It is scandalous that they would try
    to deceive Your Majesty with lies!
[21:05] ---
    You, whose heart is grieving the
    loss of your beloved princess!
[21:09] ---
    My Emperor.
[21:11] ---
    I ask that you smite this foul race
    with the iron fist of justice.
[21:26] ---
    In the name of Rayregalia Vers
    Rayvers, Emperor of Vers,
[21:32] ---
    I hereby renew my
    declaration of war.
[21:35] ---
    Attack the Earth!
[21:38] ---
    Those who would do harm
    to my flesh and blood...
[21:41] ---
    ...must burn!
[21:48] ---
    Slaine Troyard, you mean
    harm to our cause...
[21:56] ---
    How ironic...
[22:01] ---
    Is it not, Dr. Troyard?
