[00:06] ---
Is that Kenbu?
[00:08] ---
Amou...?
[00:10] ---
Tezuka, Shion, can you move?
[00:12] ---
Y-Yeah...
[00:14] ---
Yup!
[00:15] ---
I'll dive straight into the enemy lines.
[00:17] ---
I'll create chaos and
you two can cover me.
[00:20] ---
Roger that.
[00:21] ---
You got it.
[00:22] ---
We defeated the rear echelon troops!
I'm sending you the route.
[00:26] ---
Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki,
please evacuate everyone.
[00:29] ---
--Copy that!
--All right!
[00:35] ---
Let's go!
[00:52] ---
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[02:14] ---
Minor damage to one unmanned AMAIM;
11 are completely destroyed.
[02:17] ---
Other damage to the combat vehicles
have been reported.
[02:20] ---
This is a catastrophic defeat.
[02:21] ---
Dammit! Can we resupply?
[02:24] ---
Reinforcements will be available
in 12 hours. We can regroup then.
[02:28] ---
We won't let them escape!
We'll crush them!
[02:35] ---
If you're unwell or in pain,
please let us know.
[02:39] ---
We also have a little bit
of food and beverages!
[02:47] ---
Amou!
[02:48] ---
You're alive!
[02:52] ---
It's been a while.
[03:06] ---
Idiot.
[03:07] ---
Sorry... To you, too, Shion.
[03:10] ---
--U-Um, I-I'm--
[03:12] ---
--Shion!
--U-Um, I-I'm--
[03:16] ---
Long time no see! How've you been?!
[03:20] ---
M-Ms. Misuzu!
[03:22] ---
Aw, what's this?
Are you that happy to see me?
[03:25] ---
I'm just kidding. Sorry.
[03:28] ---
Maki...
[03:29] ---
Captain Kumai, Lieutenant Masaki,
I apologize for my sudden disappearance.
[03:34] ---
I'd like to explain what happened
over the past eight months.
[03:40] ---
But before I do...
[03:42] ---
We've brought plenty of supplies,
so you can relax a bit!
[03:47] ---
We have food, ammo,
even AMAIM replacement parts!
[03:52] ---
Chief!
[03:54] ---
I'm not comfortable with
hugging it out with you.
[03:56] ---
How could you say that?!
[03:57] ---
We've worked together for so long!
[04:07] ---
It's been so long since--
[04:09] ---
Thank you.
[04:22] ---
Amou...
[04:24] ---
Hey, we're moving to
a different spot. Let's go.
[04:26] ---
Um, I'm good. I'm just gonna
go check on Kenbu.
[04:31] ---
Huh?
[04:33] ---
I'm gonna talk to Amou. Brief me
on what Ms. Misuzu tells you later.
[04:38] ---
Tezuka...
[04:40] ---
I see. I was hoping to
hear from Amou, but...
[04:44] ---
Let's leave it to Gashin.
[04:46] ---
By the way, who's this?
[04:48] ---
This is Collin Dialo,
[04:50] ---
team leader of ARES,
a private military company.
[04:53] ---
The development organization
I'm with has a contract with them.
[04:56] ---
We've asked them to transport supplies
and provide escorts for us.
[05:01] ---
Development organization?
[05:03] ---
What are you talking about?
[05:04] ---
My full name is Maki Misuzu Annette.
[05:08] ---
I'm the president and
chief developer of TRYVECTA,
[05:11] ---
an AI development organization
affiliated with Brenson Corp.
[05:15] ---
What?!
[05:16] ---
I'm the one who developed the autonomous
AI everyone calls "Ghost."
[05:24] ---
Only when you give the autonomous AI
control does it reach its full potential.
[05:31] ---
However, if it has control over all units
and is allowed to do what it wants,
[05:36] ---
troop discipline will be lost.
[05:39] ---
That's why, in the field and depending on
the scale of the battle,
[05:43] ---
company and battalion commanders would
pilot manned units with autonomous AI,
[05:48] ---
while the actual troops would consist of
unmanned units with tactical AIs.
[05:53] ---
This is the most efficient
and proven method.
[05:56] ---
With constraints like that,
further development of AI units is useless.
[06:05] ---
Be careful with Congressman Roy Walker.
[06:08] ---
He's garnered support by cutting down
military and government budgets.
[06:13] ---
He's bound to criticize
everything you say.
[06:16] ---
You'll need to show
good results to shut him up.
[06:21] ---
I understand.
[06:24] ---
Japan is the front line of the world.
[06:27] ---
A victory here will directly
impact global trends.
[06:31] ---
Even so, the cost is too high.
[06:35] ---
We're currently ahead of
the rest of the world.
[06:38] ---
It isn't in our best interest to lose
our momentum in development.
[06:42] ---
Some in the media are questioning
the purpose of this war.
[06:46] ---
They're growing tired of it.
[06:49] ---
Continuing our development is the best
and quickest way to solve that problem.
[06:54] ---
Just stop. This is a wasted effort!
[07:00] ---
Roy Walker...
[07:04] ---
In partnership with Brenson Corp,
we, TRYVECTA,
[07:08] ---
began the development of "I-LeS,"
[07:10] ---
an autonomous AI
that can work with humans.
[07:13] ---
The first autonomous AI we created
was code-named "Prototype Zero."
[07:19] ---
Or, as you call it, "Ghost."
[07:25] ---
To keep our partnership with
Brenson Corp, we loaned it to them,
[07:30] ---
even though we knew the control mechanism
was still a work in progress.
[07:34] ---
After an accident during a unit test,
Prototype Zero disappeared.
[07:41] ---
After some time, it reappeared as Ghost.
[07:45] ---
Brenson Corp has
admitted their fault in this,
[07:48] ---
and offered to keep the partnership.
[07:50] ---
After that, we created Gai, Kei,
and Nayuta based on Prototype Zero.
[07:57] ---
Which means...
[07:59] ---
We're the same as Ghost...
[08:04] ---
Amou!
[08:06] ---
What happened after
the battle at the Oki Islands?
[08:09] ---
Where were you? What have you been doing?!
[08:13] ---
Sorry, I gotta go check on Kenbu...
[08:15] ---
Hey, Amou!
[08:19] ---
He doesn't seem to be in
a talkative mood right now.
[08:22] ---
Hold on! That makes you
a big shot at the company!
[08:25] ---
What are you doing on
our maintenance team?!
[08:27] ---
I wanted to see my AIs' growth up close.
[08:30] ---
An engineer's passion, if you will.
[08:33] ---
"Engineer's passion"...?
[08:34] ---
I can relate to that.
[08:37] ---
I also wanted to stop Ghost
from wreaking any more havoc.
[08:43] ---
After the battle at the Oki Islands
eight months ago,
[08:45] ---
I thought we had a real chance
to get Ghost back.
[08:50] ---
I'm sorry for taking advantage
of you all like that.
[08:54] ---
Aren't I terrible?
[09:00] ---
That night, with the help of
Mr. Collin and ARES,
[09:04] ---
we got on a boat and waited. But...
[09:13] ---
We prioritized saving
Amou and Gai instead.
[09:19] ---
I couldn't let them die.
[09:23] ---
We quickly covered our tracks and
left before the Asian military came.
[09:28] ---
What about Ghost?
[09:31] ---
So it's still out there somewhere?!
[09:33] ---
No, we know where it is.
[09:36] ---
What?!
[09:37] ---
The North American military's
Development Agency in Kanto has it.
[09:39] ---
German Gobert arranged everything.
[09:42] ---
A long day at work, Captain?
[09:45] ---
I hear you had quite an argument.
[09:48] ---
German, I told you not to
come here unless asked.
[09:51] ---
It's just that I heard a rumor,
[09:54] ---
and I wanted to see it for myself--
the slip-up I caused.
[09:59] ---
Word travels fast.
[10:07] ---
Also...
[10:10] ---
Congressman Roy Walker.
[10:18] ---
Consider it done. Afterall,
I'm very good at doing the dirty work.
[10:24] ---
Why would the captain
work with a man like that...?
[10:26] ---
We need to trust him. He must have a plan.
[10:31] ---
If things fall apart,
we'll be there to stop it.
[10:39] ---
After German founded his own organization,
[10:42] ---
he weaseled himself into the North American
military, the largest in the world,
[10:45] ---
by offering up Ghost.
[10:47] ---
Camouflaging them as accidents,
[10:49] ---
he then attacked Brenson Corp
and the TRYVECTA facilities.
[10:53] ---
Most likely with the goal of
monopolizing the technology.
[10:56] ---
So those incidents
and accidents overseas...
[10:59] ---
Yes. Fortunately, the nerve center of
the organization was able to escape.
[11:04] ---
After that, we spent the next eight months
completing the new Kenbu.
[11:08] ---
No wonder I couldn't get a hold of you.
[11:11] ---
And German sounds like
a horrible industrial spy!
[11:14] ---
He's nefarious.
[11:16] ---
After investigating
Ghost's disappearance
[11:21] ---
and the time when Gai
was found on the ground,
[11:24] ---
we found out that he was the one
pulling the strings all along.
[11:27] ---
We think he started to
enact his plan that far back.
[11:32] ---
At the time, the people from
the development organization
[11:35] ---
were transporting Gai.
[11:38] ---
Because of his position, German knew
where Kenbu would be assembled,
[11:43] ---
so he made sure Kenbu's parts
would be hard to transport.
[11:47] ---
At the same time,
German sent his men to recover Gai.
[11:52] ---
Sensing she was in danger, she escaped.
[11:57] ---
She hid Gai where no one would find it.
[12:00] ---
As she was contacting us to tell us
the hiding spot, German's men got to her.
[12:08] ---
But eventually, Gai found its way back.
[12:14] ---
She can rest in peace.
[12:19] ---
Um, so what was Amou doing
during the past eight months?
[12:25] ---
Nayuta, did Amou say anything?
[12:28] ---
No, he wasn't in the mood.
[12:31] ---
Well then, it's probably best
if I keep my mouth shut.
[12:35] ---
It's his story to tell.
[12:37] ---
What?
[12:55] ---
Thank you...
[12:57] ---
And so, we went on an expedition
to Shikoku and Kyushu. Right?
[13:03] ---
Yeah.
[13:03] ---
Where were you, Amou?
[13:05] ---
Uh, I was overseas...
With Ms. Misuzu's organization...
[13:11] ---
What was it like? Was it fun?
[13:14] ---
Um, yeah, I guess...
[13:17] ---
I'm so jealous. I'd love to go abroad.
[13:20] ---
I'll be by your side, my princess!
[13:23] ---
Yup, of course!
[13:25] ---
Thank you for the food.
[13:27] ---
You're done? You've barely
touched your food.
[13:31] ---
I'm not hungry...
[13:33] ---
I'll see you later.
[13:36] ---
He's changed, hasn't he?
[13:40] ---
It feels like he's back to
how he was when we first met.
[14:02] ---
I think it's about time you tell us
what happened in the last eight months.
[14:07] ---
You heard Misuzu.
[14:09] ---
Only stuff related to Brenson Corp,
and nothing about you or Amou.
[14:14] ---
I can't be the one to tell you.
We have a code.
[14:17] ---
A code?!
[14:18] ---
Or are you gonna take a look
at my memory data?
[14:21] ---
That's something you could do!
[14:24] ---
No, we wouldn't do that.
It'll go against what we are.
[14:28] ---
We're not just machines
that process and store data.
[14:33] ---
--Right.
--Sorry...
[14:48] ---
All units are in position and ready to go.
[14:50] ---
We're waiting for your orders,
Captain Blanc.
[14:52] ---
All right! We have 1.5 times
more units than before!
[14:57] ---
Let's go wipe them out!
[15:04] ---
I'm picking up enemy movement.
[15:06] ---
They'll be within combat range
in 8 minutes and 40 seconds.
[15:09] ---
Got it.
[15:10] ---
Boss, how's the civilian evacuation going?
[15:13] ---
It's going smooth, but we're
surrounded by mountains.
[15:17] ---
It'll take them some time
for them to cross the border.
[15:19] ---
We need you to hold them off.
[15:21] ---
Roger that!
[15:22] ---
Judging from the distance to
the safe zone, we have three options.
[15:28] ---
To force the enemy to retreat,
to destroy them all,
[15:31] ---
or stop the unmanned units by defeating
the commander and the commander unit.
[15:35] ---
Right.
[15:36] ---
We found this video recording
from yesterday's battle.
[15:43] ---
This man opened fire on the enemy,
triggering the battle.
[15:46] ---
When he approached the commander unit,
he was shot dead.
[15:50] ---
We can infer that this man made some
type of deal with the enemy commander,
[15:54] ---
but was betrayed.
[15:57] ---
This is what the enemy is capable of.
[15:59] ---
They aren't planning on letting anyone,
including the civilians, go.
[16:02] ---
There's no going back.
[16:05] ---
They'll have manned units for sure.
Are you ready, Amou?
[16:09] ---
Yeah, I'll be fine.
[16:15] ---
Captain, we'll be entering
the combat zone soon.
[16:19] ---
Finally! All units, prepare to fire!
[16:22] ---
As soon as you see
the enemies, open fire--
[16:31] ---
Even from this distance...?
[16:32] ---
It might look the same,
but I tinkered with it a little!
[16:36] ---
You're set up to do some
super-long-range sniping!
[16:38] ---
Dammit! Heavy armor units, move forward!
[16:44] ---
Swap out your ammo!
[16:46] ---
There's only a few, but the new
armor-piercing grenades will do the trick!
[16:54] ---
Three heavy armor units
have been destroyed!
[16:57] ---
Impossible!
[16:59] ---
A durable shield like that has to weigh
a lot, decreasing the unit's mobility.
[17:03] ---
Shion!
[17:06] ---
Wow! It feels so light!
[17:09] ---
It's lighter in weight
while maintaining its durability!
[17:12] ---
The thruster output has increased as well,
so you can fly longer and faster!
[17:17] ---
My princess!
[17:17] ---
Right!
[17:28] ---
Shion's drawing the enemy's attention.
[17:31] ---
Let's go!
[17:33] ---
With the new model spec,
you can go toe-to-toe
[17:37] ---
with the North American military
even if you're outnumbered!
[17:41] ---
We've spotted three enemy AMAIMs!
We're taking more damage!
[17:44] ---
What should we do, Captain?!
[17:46] ---
Keep it together.
They just got the first strike.
[17:49] ---
It's only the three of them!
[17:51] ---
Break up our troops into three groups!
Attack them individually!
[17:54] ---
Our military's AI is
capable of handling this!
[18:05] ---
They're changing formation.
[18:10] ---
This attack's a bit tricky.
[18:13] ---
We need to get some distance between us.
[18:18] ---
It's started.
[18:19] ---
What's your read?
[18:20] ---
Overwhelming the enemy in numbers
is an obvious strategy.
[18:23] ---
However, Captain Blanc
made a wrong assumption.
[18:27] ---
What do you mean?
[18:28] ---
Until yesterday, the terrorists
were fighting without supplies.
[18:34] ---
But now, they have that
white original AMAIM with them.
[18:38] ---
He's also given them time.
[18:40] ---
It's safe to assume they were able to
resupply and conduct maintenance.
[18:47] ---
They're completely different.
[18:49] ---
That's true. The unit specs
are higher than yesterday's.
[18:55] ---
Are you saying they should've
taken them on last night?
[18:58] ---
Either that, or doubled their forces.
[19:02] ---
One more thing. I actually
respect their teamwork.
[19:10] ---
One unit attracts the enemy
while the second attacks it.
[19:16] ---
When the enemy targets the second unit,
the third strikes them down.
[19:20] ---
It's simple, but once you find yourself
in that loop, it's hard to get out.
[19:25] ---
If this situation continues,
the casualties will...
[19:29] ---
Yes, I feel the burden on
my shoulders getting heavier.
[19:33] ---
I suppose replicas
can't beat the originals.
[19:38] ---
Not yet, anyway.
[19:47] ---
Captain! If we continue taking damage,
we won't be able to maintain our troops!
[19:51] ---
What are your orders, Captain?!
[19:54] ---
This is ridiculous. How can this be?
[19:57] ---
Me, running from the terrorists
with my tail between my legs? No!
[20:04] ---
Brad Watt.
[20:07] ---
Captain Blanc, I suggest you put
a stop to this battle now.
[20:11] ---
There's no point in losing
our units unnecessarily.
[20:13] ---
If you stop now,
[20:15] ---
you can still get out of this
relatively unscathed.
[20:17] ---
I appreciate your advice.
[20:21] ---
He rides on Deputy Commander
Spears' coattail! The nerve of him!
[20:25] ---
Captain!
[20:30] ---
That's the commander unit!
[20:31] ---
Yeah!
[20:40] ---
Don't underestimate me!
[21:08] ---
Please retreat.
[21:09] ---
What?!
[21:11] ---
If you promise not to come after us,
we won't attack anymore.
[21:16] ---
Amou...
[21:18] ---
Are you ordering me?
[21:20] ---
We know you deceived
a Japanese man for your own gain.
[21:24] ---
Promise us that you'll never
hurt the Japanese people ever again.
[21:28] ---
If you do, then--
[21:30] ---
Why would I stop?! You all belong
on the ground, cowering at my feet!
[21:36] ---
I'd do it again and again!
[21:40] ---
You're nothing but terrorists!
[21:59] ---
Amou...
[22:17] ---
"Episode 15: Reunion"
[23:49] ---
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[23:51] ---
What do you think, Captain?
[23:53] ---
How did the white original AMAIM do?
[23:55] ---
I can sense its determination,
but there's grim atmosphere.
[23:58] ---
Captain, we have our new orders.
[24:00] ---
We're up against Major Alexei Zelenoy
from the Eurasia military, huh?
[24:04] ---
Bring it on. It's time
to test that unit out!
