[00:15] ---
    Amou!
[00:24] ---
    Eight months have passed
    since the battle at the Oki Islands.
[00:30] ---
    September 2061
[00:31] ---
    During that time, the borders for each
    nation's territory in Japan had changed.
[00:31] ---
    October 2061
[00:33] ---
    November 2061
[00:34] ---
    December 2061
[00:35] ---
    Simply put, the NAC expanded its
    territory, calling them autonomous cities.
[00:36] ---
    January 2062
[00:37] ---
    February 2062
[00:38] ---
    March 2062
[00:40] ---
    April 2062
[00:41] ---
    May 2062
[00:43] ---
    The reason for their victories is clear.
[00:46] ---
    The North American military
    won the autonomous AI race
[00:53] ---
    and used them to great effect.
[00:56] ---
    They worked well with existing
    manned and unmanned units,
[01:00] ---
    and they had the track record
    to prove their usefulness.
[01:04] ---
    The Asian, Oceanian,
    and Eurasian militaries
[01:08] ---
    all began developing
    units with autonomous AIs,
[01:13] ---
    but the North American military
    were a step or two ahead.
[01:20] ---
    The borderlines of the Japanese
    Archipelago change day to day...
[01:27] ---
    ...regardless of what
    the Japanese citizens want.
[01:38] ---
    In the year 2062,
    this is Japan's current situation.
[01:44] ---
    Episode 14: Eight Months Later
[02:03] ---
    Shion!
[02:04] ---
    I see you! Over here!
[02:08] ---
    My princess, stay on this course!
[02:10] ---
    Okay!
[02:18] ---
    Target locked, ready to open fire!
[02:24] ---
    We are still fighting.
[02:44] ---
    AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline
[02:51] ---
    
[04:06] ---
    I see, so they got away.
[04:08] ---
    Yes.
[04:09] ---
    Everything's going as planned.
[04:11] ---
    Are we really doing this?
[04:13] ---
    Second Lieutenant Knox,
    do you eat your favorite dish first
[04:18] ---
    or save it for last?
[04:21] ---
    Sir?
[04:25] ---
    I prefer to save it for last,
    and eat as much as I want.
[04:30] ---
    Until I tire from it.
[04:32] ---
    Thanks to autonomous AIs,
[04:35] ---
    manned units can go
    to the frontlines more.
[04:40] ---
    Wouldn't you want to savor it
    to your heart's content?
[04:51] ---
    No signs of enemies within a 5km radius.
[04:54] ---
    We shouldn't be attacked
    by anyone anytime soon.
[04:57] ---
    They took some hits, too.
[05:00] ---
    They'll likely come back
    after resupplying themselves.
[05:03] ---
    Resupply, huh? Must be nice
    to have that luxury.
[05:07] ---
    Complaining won't get us anything.
[05:10] ---
    Good work, everyone. What's our status?
[05:12] ---
    We got word that Tsukuyomi
    got through to Fukui prefecture.
[05:16] ---
    Unfortunately, there are other groups
    and refugees nearby,
[05:20] ---
    and we can't get in touch with them.
[05:23] ---
    Your mission is to rescue people
    left behind due to the borderline change.
[05:29] ---
    You'll need to move them
    outside the NAC's territory.
[05:33] ---
    Security in the North American military
[05:38] ---
    is tighter than the Asian's
    and Oceanian's.
[05:41] ---
    The power of each Resistance member
    and refugee is small.
[05:45] ---
    But united, we will become a force
    large enough to win back Japan.
[05:51] ---
    We're counting on you.
[05:52] ---
    --Of course!
    --Roger.
[05:53] ---
    Roger!
[05:54] ---
    Chairman, any word from Brenson Corp?
[05:59] ---
    Nothing yet.
[06:01] ---
    I have no new intel other than
    what Kei and Nayuta found before.
[06:06] ---
    Before we lost contact with Brenson Corp,
[06:09] ---
    there were some incidents
    and accidents overseas.
[06:13] ---
    An industrial building in North Africa,
[06:15] ---
    a gunpowder plant in Mideast,
    a business firm in France...
[06:19] ---
    There are more,
[06:21] ---
    but all these facilities have collapsed
    or exploded around the same time.
[06:26] ---
    Not all of them may be connected,
[06:29] ---
    but since we lost communication
    immediately after these incidents,
[06:32] ---
    it's highly possible that they were
    owned by Brenson Corp,
[06:34] ---
    and someone attacked them.
[06:38] ---
    According to online rumors,
    the North American military is behind it.
[06:43] ---
    Regardless, we're currently
    without Brenson Corp's support.
[06:47] ---
    We have few AMAIM parts and supplies left.
[06:51] ---
    Times are tough for us, but...
[06:54] ---
    We'll continue to fight!
[06:57] ---
    We'll fight and survive,
    to "protect the people" of tomorrow!
[07:04] ---
    Tezuka...
[07:08] ---
    Yes, you're right.
[07:15] ---
    You're looking sharper
    than usual, Captain.
[07:18] ---
    I look the same.
[07:19] ---
    Seems like you're having fun.
[07:21] ---
    I'm smiling to hide my nervousness.
[07:24] ---
    It's a big task.
[07:26] ---
    Yes, I'm presenting my opinion
    about the units with autonomous AIs
[07:31] ---
    to government officials and the military
    top brass, as a field worker.
[07:35] ---
    In other words,
[07:36] ---
    our future budget depends on
    how well you do.
[07:39] ---
    Charlie asked me to tell you
    to get the biggest budget you can.
[07:45] ---
    I'll do my best to not fail him.
[07:48] ---
    Good luck.
[07:51] ---
    Thanks.
[08:11] ---
    Damn the North American military!
[08:13] ---
    Fall back! Fall back!
[08:15] ---
    This way, hurry!
[08:18] ---
    Hey, wait! Take me with you!
[08:29] ---
    Run! Hide in the forest!
[08:33] ---
    Group One, Group Two,
    head to Point C7 and F5 accordingly.
[08:37] ---
    Group Four is through Point D8.
[08:43] ---
    The meeting's finally adjourned...
[08:44] ---
    You must be tired. It was a long one.
[08:47] ---
    Six hours, nonstop. Really...
[08:50] ---
    Charlie's waiting for you.
[08:52] ---
    Captain, how'd it go?
    Did you get us a huge budget?
[08:56] ---
    I don't know yet.
    There's another one tomorrow.
[08:59] ---
    Anyway, how's the other project going?
[09:02] ---
    Honestly, I wish it'd give me a break.
[09:04] ---
    There's no way I can tame that thing.
[09:07] ---
    I have my faith in the Development Agency.
    Do whatever it takes to succeed.
[09:13] ---
    Creating a robot that can handle
    that thing is the key to future battles.
[09:20] ---
    In that case, please get us that budget.
[09:22] ---
    All right. I'll see you later.
[09:31] ---
    Captain?
[09:32] ---
    Is this what adrenaline feels like?
[09:35] ---
    It feels like the tiredness
    I was feeling is gone.
[09:40] ---
    So far, we're on course.
[09:48] ---
    Ah, there it is.
[09:51] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:53] ---
    I thought I'd do some maintenance, too.
[09:57] ---
    It may not be much, but...
[10:01] ---
    It wouldn't hurt. This is an expedition.
[10:04] ---
    We don't even have enough guards.
[10:10] ---
    I wonder what happened to
    Ms. Misuzu after that day?
[10:14] ---
    Mr. Muramatsu's trying,
    but he can't reach her.
[10:18] ---
    I'm sure she has her reasons.
[10:20] ---
    Like what? Family issues?
[10:24] ---
    Do you think she got sick of us?
[10:27] ---
    How would I know?!
[10:29] ---
    You're right...
[10:30] ---
    Gashin, for the last time...
    You need to learn how to speak to people.
[10:38] ---
    Sorry...
[10:40] ---
    I hope Mr. German and
    Ms. Misuzu are doing fine.
[10:44] ---
    Yeah.
[10:46] ---
    To be honest, I've had
    too much time on my hands.
[10:52] ---
    Too much time to myself.
[10:57] ---
    Ever since that day,
    I've tried to make a pot a few times.
[11:01] ---
    But it never goes well. I can't focus.
[11:06] ---
    I can't get my mind to stay on the clay.
[11:09] ---
    I've never had this issue before...
[11:15] ---
    That's why I came here.
[11:19] ---
    Because I'll overthink if I'm alone,
    about all sorts of things...
[11:30] ---
    You can quit, you know.
[11:32] ---
    You don't have to stay
    just because you're Reiki's pilot.
[11:37] ---
    It's one option--
[11:38] ---
    I'm not quitting!
[11:41] ---
    I want to bring back Himeno wares.
[11:43] ---
    To do that, we need to get Japan back.
[11:47] ---
    So, I won't quit.
[11:48] ---
    That's my princess! You said it!
[11:51] ---
    I, Angelo, will always stick by
    your side, my princess!
[12:07] ---
    Gashin, wake up! We have company!
[12:10] ---
    What?
[12:11] ---
    --My princess, you need to wake up, now!
[12:12] ---
    --Mmm, what? What is it?
    --My princess, you need to wake up, now!
[12:14] ---
    Just wake up! You'll understand
    when you go outside!
[12:22] ---
    Huh? All these people? Why?!
[12:32] ---
    This isn't good...
[12:36] ---
    We can still fight!
    Just give us some ammo!
[12:39] ---
    We would if we weren't short ourselves.
[12:42] ---
    Do you have any nursing covers?
[12:44] ---
    And something that
    can be used as a diaper?
[12:46] ---
    I'll go look.
[12:48] ---
    Please wait here.
    I'll go talk to our leader.
[12:53] ---
    I see, the nearby populace
    has gathered there...
[12:56] ---
    Enemy front lines were
    scattered until today.
[12:59] ---
    Now, they have us surrounded.
[13:02] ---
    That's why there are more people now.
[13:06] ---
    Right.
[13:06] ---
    The enemy likely corralled them here.
[13:09] ---
    Probably. By doing so,
    they can focus on one target.
[13:15] ---
    We'll also grow in size,
    making it difficult to move.
[13:20] ---
    How many people are gathered at your site?
[13:23] ---
    35 resistance members
    and 86 refugees. 121 in total.
[13:30] ---
    Hmm...
[13:31] ---
    There are elders and children
    among the refugees.
[13:35] ---
    Even if we did move, it wouldn't be fast.
[13:37] ---
    We're low on food and
    I don't know how long it'll last.
[13:41] ---
    I see.
[13:43] ---
    I'm sorry, the enemies were on our tail,
    and we found ourselves here...
[13:48] ---
    We fell into their trap.
[13:50] ---
    Our combat vehicle's destroyed
    and we ran out of ammo.
[13:54] ---
    But we don't want to hold you down!
[13:57] ---
    If push comes to shove, we can be decoys!
[14:00] ---
    If you could break out of their
    encirclement with the refugees, then--
[14:04] ---
    No, that's not an option!
[14:05] ---
    We're better suited as decoys!
[14:08] ---
    With our AMAIMs, we can fight
    the enemy AMAIMs, and--
[14:11] ---
    It's no good.
[14:13] ---
    Jogan and Reiki aren't super-machines.
[14:16] ---
    There's a limit to how fast we can move
    with so many refugees.
[14:21] ---
    It's almost impossible for just
    the two of us to handle an entire army.
[14:27] ---
    Worst case, we'll be
    flanked and taken down.
[14:32] ---
    But, then, what do we do?
[14:36] ---
    We won't be leaving anyone behind.
[14:39] ---
    Let's think of a way to get through this.
[14:43] ---
    That's what we're here for.
[14:45] ---
    Yup, that's right.
[14:52] ---
    We don't have much time.
[14:54] ---
    Troops are moving in from Point 7.
[14:57] ---
    They triggered the sensor in
    south-southeast, 12.5 klicks from here.
[15:00] ---
    They're here.
[15:02] ---
    Since they're regular military forces,
    they can't attack civilians.
[15:06] ---
    Maybe we can use that to our advantage.
[15:23] ---
    They're surrendering? How boring.
[15:28] ---
    This is Captain Tony Blanc from Point 7,
    Unit 23 of the North American military!
[15:35] ---
    Does that white flag mean
    you are surrendering?!
[15:39] ---
    We will not surrender.
[15:41] ---
    However, we have
    unarmed civilians with us.
[15:45] ---
    Take them in as refugees,
    or let us take them to safety first.
[15:51] ---
    Under military law,
    this negotiation is valid.
[15:54] ---
    I know, but there's no guarantee that
    they're not terrorists themselves.
[16:00] ---
    They won't be armed. You can even
    check their identities and belongings.
[16:07] ---
    Hey, where are you going?! Come back!
[16:10] ---
    In return, we ask for you
    to guarantee their safety.
[16:14] ---
    Captain!
[16:15] ---
    Quit pestering me. You want me to
    reach out to HQ for instructions, yes?
[16:20] ---
    But under emergency situations,
    judgments made on the field take priority.
[16:25] ---
    That's why we deploy manned units!
[16:29] ---
    Don't be afraid.
[16:31] ---
    I have a little job for you.
[16:35] ---
    If you succeed,
    I'll grant you NAC citizenship.
[16:40] ---
    Don't you want to escape poverty?
[16:43] ---
    Wh-What's the job?
[16:45] ---
    Oh, it's just a simple one.
[16:47] ---
    When it's the right time,
    I just want you to cause a little ruckus.
[16:52] ---
    That's all.
[16:54] ---
    Your future depends on this one choice.
[16:58] ---
    Live out the rest of
    your days in subjugation,
[17:01] ---
    or switch sides and
    join those who take charge.
[17:12] ---
    Let me contact HQ.
    Wait until I hear back from them.
[17:16] ---
    All right.
[17:21] ---
    What?
[17:23] ---
    I'm not gonna fall for your lies!
[17:27] ---
    A gun?!
[17:30] ---
    They've opened fire! The enemy is hostile!
    Negotiations have fallen through!
[17:34] ---
    All units, open fire!
[17:36] ---
    Wait, we didn't--
[17:42] ---
    It's no use, Mr. Kumai! We have to fight!
[17:44] ---
    We need to run! Now!
[17:47] ---
    Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki,
    please get the refugees out of here!
[17:50] ---
    We'll draw the enemies' attention!
[17:52] ---
    We owe you!
[17:54] ---
    Enemy units are moving to the left!
[17:56] ---
    Not if I can help it!
[18:00] ---
    Please follow our instructions
    and evacuate, now!
[18:05] ---
    This is a nightmare! It's chaos!
[18:10] ---
    I did it... I did it, sir!
[18:16] ---
    Huh?
[18:18] ---
    Hmph.
[18:21] ---
    Captain, that man...
[18:23] ---
    Was a terrorist. So, I killed him.
    Is there a problem?
[18:29] ---
    Elliot, you let this happen,
    so you've got blood on your hands, too.
[18:35] ---
    Do you want to go to
    military prison with me?
[18:39] ---
    I think you and I will be good friends.
    Very good friends.
[18:44] ---
    Point I5 and I6 are under control.
[18:47] ---
    Point Q9 is under control as well.
[18:49] ---
    Alpha Unit is attacking Point M8.
[18:52] ---
    Beta Unit has Point O6 under control.
[18:57] ---
    How did this happen...?
[18:59] ---
    We need to get to safety somehow...
[19:14] ---
    I found the command unit!
    Is the data linked?!
[19:16] ---
    Yes. We're taking it down now!
[19:30] ---
    Going after the command unit
    is a common tactic.
[19:33] ---
    Of course, we have countermeasures.
[19:35] ---
    What's more, our military's autonomous AI
[19:40] ---
    knows how to deal with
    small numbers of enemies.
[19:46] ---
    It's accurate cover fire is
    preventing us from returning fire!
[19:57] ---
    Don't push yourself, my princess!
[19:59] ---
    The durability of armor
    and joints are decreasing!
[20:02] ---
    But...
[20:05] ---
    This deployment of units,
    and precision shooting...
[20:08] ---
    This isn't the usual combat AI
    the North American military's been using.
[20:13] ---
    Our location isn't helping, either.
[20:14] ---
    We need to temporary
    fall back and regroup!
[20:17] ---
    Boss! Are the civilians evacuated?!
[20:19] ---
    Not yet! They're panicking
    from all the chaos!
[20:28] ---
    Shion!
[20:31] ---
    Crap!
[20:33] ---
    From behind?!
[20:36] ---
    Masaki?!
[20:41] ---
    Dammit!
[20:46] ---
    Can't we do anything?
[20:50] ---
    Is there really nothing we can do?!
[20:53] ---
    This signal...
[20:54] ---
    Could it be...?
[21:14] ---
    What is it?!
[21:15] ---
    We're picking up a different signal!
    It's an unknown AMAIM!
[21:21] ---
    What?!
[21:26] ---
    A black AMAIM?
[21:28] ---
    Is that...?
[21:40] ---
    Impossible... It took down
    all those units in a split second...
[21:59] ---
    Is that Kenbu?
[22:01] ---
    Amou...?
[23:49] ---
    Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline
[23:52] ---
    Is that AMAIM Kenbu?
[23:53] ---
    Yes, there's no mistake.
[23:55] ---
    We're picking up Gai's signal, too.
[23:57] ---
    I'm so glad... Amou's alive!
[23:59] ---
    But we're not out of the woods yet.
    Keep your guard up.
[24:03] ---
    There's something different
    about Gai and Amou, too...
[24:08] ---
    Episode 15: Reunion
[24:09] ---
    See you in the next episode!
[24:15] ---
