[00:00] ---
With her death, Asseylum Vers Allusia, loyal
countryman and beloved family member,
[00:08] ---
has revealed the truth to us.
[00:13] ---
Through her pious act,
she has opened our eyes.
[00:18] ---
We are meting out justice. The Earth
has spat upon our good faith,
[00:23] ---
heaped insult upon insult,
and now committed this atrocity!
[00:27] ---
This is divine retribution
brought down upon them!
[00:29] ---
Today, the Vers Empire
declares war against Earth!
[00:41] ---
All clear in Block 63B.
[00:42] ---
All clear in Block 63C.
[00:45] ---
There's no sign that he has
escaped from the castle!
[00:46] ---
Track him down!
[00:48] ---
Yes, sir!
[00:49] ---
Damn that boy... How dare he use the
audience chamber without permission?
[00:53] ---
When he's found,
execute him on the spot!
[00:56] ---
Abide a moment, Count Cruhteo.
[00:59] ---
Milord Saazbaum.
[01:00] ---
He is the son of Dr. Troyard.
[01:04] ---
I wish to question him regarding
his father's Aldnoah research.
[01:08] ---
Might I trouble you
to take him alive?
[01:14] ---
All right... Please tell me
what happened after that.
[01:18] ---
Tell me about the orange Kataphrakt
that Sir Vlad had been pursuing.
[02:58] ---
Grandfather... Why?
[03:02] ---
A formal declaration
of war, huh?
[03:05] ---
Just when we heard there was going
to be a cease-fire, too.
[03:08] ---
The war never stopped.
[03:12] ---
Lt. Marito...
[03:13] ---
We all pretended not to
notice, that's all.
[03:16] ---
Just like the old fart said, that princess'
death opened our eyes to the truth.
[03:22] ---
That isn't true! I...
[03:26] ---
Princess Asseylum has
no desire for war!
[03:29] ---
She tried to act as a bridge of friendship
between Earth and Vers!
[03:34] ---
And she ended up being
the spark that set it off.
[03:39] ---
This is what they've
always dreamed of.
[03:42] ---
Some righteous cause that would
let them pull out all the stops.
[03:44] ---
Are you saying that the Martians
sacrificed their own princess?
[03:48] ---
Everyone, your attention, please!
[03:50] ---
Everyone assemble in
the briefing room!
[03:52] ---
What's up, Yuki?
[03:54] ---
Please address me as
Warrant Officer Kaizuka.
[03:57] ---
We're now officially at war
with them, too.
[04:05] ---
As of right now, you are drafted
into service as soldiers.
[04:09] ---
That means that you are to adhere
to military rules and regulations,
[04:12] ---
and are now obligated to carry out whatever
duties you are ordered to perform.
[04:16] ---
I look forward to seeing you
put all that you have learned to good use,
[04:18] ---
go into battle
with courage in your hearts,
[04:20] ---
and come into your own as warriors who
safeguard the peace and order of Earth.
[04:28] ---
This ship will now resupply and make
repairs at Tanegashima Base.
[04:34] ---
Afterwards, we will most likely
head for United Earth HQ in Russia.
[04:38] ---
All right, everyone, man your
stations immediately.
[04:42] ---
That is all. Dismissed.
[04:45] ---
Soma Yagarai, age 28. My specialties are
surgery and psychosomatic medicine.
[04:50] ---
If you ever need counseling,
my door is always open.
[04:53] ---
Thank you for your help. We can
use all the doctors we can get.
[04:54] ---
So you see, my big sister Seylum has been too
sick to go to school for the longest time.
[04:58] ---
If you'll excuse me, then.
[04:58] ---
Oh, is that so?
[05:00] ---
Isn't that right, Your Highness?
[05:02] ---
Y-Yes!
[05:03] ---
That is why Her Highness never
received any military training.
[05:06] ---
She is far too frail
to be a soldier.
[05:10] ---
Oh...
[05:11] ---
I, on the other hand,
can pilot a Kat!
[05:15] ---
When you're all grown up,
please do, okay?
[05:18] ---
I will! 'Bye, now!
[05:20] ---
Why do you call your sister
"Your Highness"?
[05:26] ---
B-Because to me, Seylum
is my beloved princess!
[05:32] ---
P-Please forgive my
familiar tone, Milady.
[05:34] ---
That's quite all right, thank you.
[05:38] ---
And what about you?
[05:40] ---
How old are you? Everyone who had military
training in high school is being drafted.
[05:46] ---
I was kept out of school...
for family reasons.
[05:49] ---
I see. Well, even if you're not
fighting at the front,
[05:51] ---
there are plenty of things
you can help with at the rear.
[05:54] ---
If you like, you could even support
everyone as a volunteer.
[05:59] ---
Don't you want to do your part to
defend Earth from the Martians?
[06:12] ---
Why am I a maintenance worker
instead of a pilot?!
[06:15] ---
You did flunk piloting, Calm..
[06:19] ---
Mechanics are just as crucial to the war.
Without them, the Kats won't work.
[06:23] ---
How am I supposed to waste those
guys if I'm stuck in the hangar?!
[06:27] ---
Hey, don't be so gung-ho.
[06:30] ---
These past 15 years, no one's
seen any real action.
[06:34] ---
Those who did are all dead.
[06:37] ---
On the Martian side, too.
[06:39] ---
Meaning that friend and foe alike
are all virgins, same as you.
[06:44] ---
Not all of us.
[06:46] ---
Inaho, are you saying you-
[06:49] ---
You lived through it, Lt. Marito.
Isn't that right?
[06:53] ---
Oh, you mean that.
[06:55] ---
The scorebook says otherwise.
[06:57] ---
The Tanegashima Report
I wrote got buried.
[07:01] ---
Tanegashima Report?
[07:04] ---
It's where the fragments first fell
when the Moon was destroyed
[07:08] ---
during Heaven's Fall 15 years ago.
[07:10] ---
Yeah... But something came down there
before the Moon did.
[07:17] ---
Martians.
[07:20] ---
We went up against those monster Martian
Kataphrakts in obsolete tanks.
[07:27] ---
We were wiped out.
[07:29] ---
Right after that, the Hyper Gate
went out of control on the Moon,
[07:32] ---
Heaven's Fall was set off
by the spacetime quake,
[07:35] ---
and those Martian bastards
wiped out the entire battlefield.
[07:39] ---
There's no physical evidence.
[07:41] ---
My report was made out to be the ramblings
of a madman written in terror.
[07:46] ---
But it was the truth.
[07:48] ---
Mars' Kataphrakts are way beyond what
Earth's technology can produce.
[07:52] ---
Either way, the end result
will be the same.
[07:55] ---
Because Earth doesn't have
Aldnoah drives.
[07:59] ---
Aldnoah drives...
[08:07] ---
Fugitive located! He's in
the Sky Carrier hangar!
[08:10] ---
Do not let him escape.
[08:21] ---
Damn him... How long is he going to
continue making me look the fool?
[08:29] ---
The basics are the same as the trainer...
Even with the higher output,
[08:33] ---
if gravity and surface hardness
remain the same,
[08:36] ---
its agility will only decrease to
the extent that its weight increases.
[08:42] ---
I'll just have to acclimate.
[08:53] ---
So this is where
you were, Inaho.
[08:56] ---
Yes.
[08:59] ---
It truly is lovely...
[09:03] ---
Is a blue sky
that unusual to you?
[09:05] ---
Yes... Are you studying?
[09:09] ---
I'm brushing up. I'm not sure
how useful it will be, though.
[09:13] ---
Why is that?
[09:14] ---
Because we don't
have Aldnoah.
[09:18] ---
What's this "Aldnoah" thing, anyway?
[09:24] ---
Aldnoah is technology belonging to a supercivilization
that was discovered in ancient ruins on Vers,
[09:31] ---
the world your people call Mars.
[09:34] ---
The first Terran to make
contact and awaken it
[09:39] ---
was Dr. Rayregalia Vers Rayvers,
[09:42] ---
my grandfather
and ruling emperor of Vers.
[09:48] ---
Aldnoah, activated after
so many eons,
[09:52] ---
recognized Grandfather
as its rightful heir
[09:56] ---
and burned the Aldnoah activation
factor into his very genes.
[10:01] ---
Which means that...
[10:03] ---
Yes. The only ones with the innate ability
to activate Aldnoah are grandfather
[10:08] ---
and his descendants.
[10:13] ---
In exchange for the knights
swearing fealty to him,
[10:17] ---
he gave them Aldnoah
and its activation factor.
[10:21] ---
Using that power,
the knights created
[10:24] ---
mighty castles and Kataphrakts
and ruled over the colonies.
[10:32] ---
And now, those who settled the desolate
lands of Mars have set their eyes...
[10:39] ---
on Earth.
[10:40] ---
The cradle of all humanity, a land blessed
with water and air in such abundance
[10:44] ---
that they refract light to make
the sea and sky appear blue.
[10:49] ---
That isn't true.
[10:52] ---
The blue sky isn't caused by diffraction, but
through the effects of Rayleigh scattering.
[10:57] ---
But Slaine said it was caused
by light diffraction...
[11:00] ---
The sky is blue from Rayleigh scattering,
clouds are white from Mie scattering.
[11:06] ---
Your friend was mistaken.
[11:19] ---
Excuse me!
[11:21] ---
Would it be okay if I took over?
[11:23] ---
You're a real go-getter, aren't you?
[11:25] ---
I just want to
get a feel for it.
[11:27] ---
What did you get in Docking?
[11:30] ---
Um, A-minus... sir.
[11:33] ---
When we come into port,
stand next to me and watch.
[11:35] ---
Also, take your hands
out of your sleeves.
[11:37] ---
Y-Yes, sir! Sorry, sir.
Thank you, sir.
[11:42] ---
Aren't we going to get uniforms?
[11:44] ---
We don't have enough. I'm hoping
we can stock up at the next port.
[11:53] ---
It doesn't really feel right...
[11:55] ---
Why go to Tanegashima, though?
[11:58] ---
I thought this area
had been sealed off.
[12:00] ---
With our intel on their
Landing Castles so spotty now,
[12:03] ---
we'd like to avoid any areas
that are likely invasion targets.
[12:06] ---
Tanegashima is an area that was devastated so
badly that the very landscape was altered.
[12:12] ---
Even now, there is no
civilian population here.
[12:15] ---
So you think the Martians
that came down in Tokyo
[12:17] ---
won't bother attacking
anything this far out?
[12:31] ---
I never thought I'd come
back here like this.
[12:38] ---
Isn't it a bit early for that?
[12:41] ---
This isn't for me. It's for the ones
who can't drink anymore.
[12:49] ---
Like John Humeray?
[12:58] ---
And...
[13:00] ---
This one is for me.
[13:02] ---
I'm jumping off the wagon.
Want a belt, Doc?
[13:07] ---
I think I will.
[13:08] ---
Mind if I join you?
[13:11] ---
Capt. Magbaredge.
[13:17] ---
The Tanegashima Report. I've heard
rumors about it, of course.
[13:23] ---
But I never once believed
it was a fabrication.
[13:27] ---
And that's exactly why, Lt. Marito...
[13:31] ---
That's why I have a particular
dislike for you.
[13:37] ---
That battle on Tanegashima...
My big brother fought in it, too.
[13:43] ---
He was killed in action.
Murdered, rather. By you.
[13:50] ---
Magbaredge is the name of
the family that adopted me.
[13:54] ---
My birth name was Humeray.
[13:58] ---
Your best friend was my brother.
[14:22] ---
Enemy craft above Tanegashima!
[14:23] ---
Anti-air combat! Take us out
to open water!
[14:26] ---
Maximum combat speed,
[14:27] ---
hard right rudder!
[14:29] ---
M-Me, ma'am?!
[14:30] ---
Damage report!
[14:32] ---
Missile impact, Block 18!
No detonation!
[14:35] ---
Appears to be a dud-
No, wait!
[14:38] ---
What is it?!
[14:39] ---
It's moving... It's alive!
[14:50] ---
What the hell was that?!
[14:52] ---
It's coming back!
[15:00] ---
Helm not responding!
[15:02] ---
We're going to collide!
[15:03] ---
All hands, brace for impact!
[15:33] ---
Entering my territory without
so much as a by your leave?
[15:37] ---
Such atrocious manners.
[15:40] ---
I must rake you over the coals.
Rather hot ones.
[15:46] ---
What is it doing
this far out?
[15:48] ---
This must be a different Martian
than the one in Tokyo.
[15:51] ---
Order the shipboard Kats to launch.
[15:54] ---
Friesian Platoon, launch!
[15:56] ---
Raising elevator 1.
[16:01] ---
Calm!
[16:03] ---
This one isn't powering up.
[16:04] ---
Sorry! We're running
a systems check on that!
[16:06] ---
Give us a minute!
[16:15] ---
It's kinda cramped in here...
[16:19] ---
Inaho?
[16:22] ---
Force feedback
checking program, start.
[16:25] ---
Ejection seat functional.
IFF confirmed.
[16:29] ---
Tactical datalink, activated.
[16:31] ---
All systems green.
[16:39] ---
Mustang Leader to Mustang 22.
[16:41] ---
Nao, you're in a trainer,
so you be our marksman.
[16:44] ---
Yuki? But your arm is still-
[16:46] ---
If my newbie is fighting,
I can't sit this out, can I?
[16:49] ---
Warrant Officer Kaizuka!
[16:50] ---
"Yuki" is fine.
[16:52] ---
Over and out!
[16:58] ---
Unbelievable.
[17:02] ---
Mustang Leader, Warrant Officer
Yuki Kaizuka, now launching!
[17:06] ---
Raising elevator 2
and vehicle elevator.
[17:09] ---
Friesian Platoon, deploy on the bow.
Mustang Platoon, you're on the stern.
[17:13] ---
All units, intercept airborne
flying weapons!
[17:19] ---
I almost feel sorry for you,
[17:22] ---
you inferior race that does not
possess the Aldnoah drive.
[17:26] ---
Cower before my power,
bow down before me,
[17:29] ---
and then despair and die!
[17:35] ---
Fly, my messengers!
[17:52] ---
Spread out! If you're clustered
too tight, you'll be sitting ducks!
[18:00] ---
Damn, they're tough!
[18:01] ---
My fists are transformed into a single molecule.
Your bullets are useless against them.
[18:06] ---
Mustang Leader to all units! AP rounds
ineffective against enemy's armor!
[18:09] ---
All units, switch over
to HE rounds and attack!
[18:12] ---
- R-Roger!
- Roger.
[18:14] ---
Crap!
[18:16] ---
Lt. Marito!
Where are you going?
[18:18] ---
I'm playing my home field again!
I can take to the field, right?
[18:27] ---
Or maybe this is
an away game...
[18:38] ---
Inko, watch our back!
[18:40] ---
Roger!
[18:51] ---
On your feet!
You're a sitting duck there!
[18:54] ---
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Sorry, Inaho! Are you okay?
[18:57] ---
I'm fine.
[18:59] ---
Is this one good to go?
[19:01] ---
Lt. Marito? No, that one's
still being tuned!
[19:05] ---
But it runs, right? I just
need it to fire one shot.
[19:08] ---
Get a heavy barrel ready for it!
[19:13] ---
Damn... it....
[19:25] ---
Oh, come on! What the hell?!
[19:34] ---
Block 24 hit! Blocks 23, 24,
and 25 taking on water!
[19:39] ---
Evacuate the affected
blocks immediately.
[19:42] ---
But if we don't seal
the bulkheads, we-
[19:44] ---
It's all right.
[19:45] ---
The ship is done for, anyway.
[19:48] ---
Abandon ship,
noncombatants first!
[19:51] ---
Get the landing craft
prepped for launch ASAP!
[20:00] ---
What?
[20:03] ---
This way, everyone!
[20:05] ---
Please be careful, Milady!
[20:07] ---
Thank you.
[20:13] ---
Enemy unit overhead
is in a nosedive!
[20:15] ---
Three others closing in
from our flanks!
[20:18] ---
They appear to be accelerating from
a distance to build up speed!
[20:22] ---
It's on a collision course
with the bridge!
[20:23] ---
I have toyed with you for
long enough. Now, die!
[20:29] ---
Here it comes!
[20:46] ---
What happened?
[20:48] ---
Direct hit!
Next, 3 mil right!
[20:51] ---
Not even HE rounds can destroy
those things' armor plating.
[20:56] ---
But...
[21:02] ---
...from this range, we can use the
blast pressure to throw it off course.
[21:05] ---
No sign of movement in
primary enemy craft!
[21:07] ---
Next! Left 7 mil!
[21:12] ---
Direct hit! Last!
[21:23] ---
We won't make it...
[21:30] ---
Out of ammo?
[21:31] ---
Captain...
[21:33] ---
This is the end.
[21:41] ---
What was that?!
[21:45] ---
Huh? We're alive?
[21:59] ---
That's...
