**[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!
