**[00:04] ---**
I never imagined there'd be a day
when I'd see you all like this.
**[00:10] ---**
Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy
of the Federation of Great Eurasia.
**[00:13] ---**
Temporary Captain Ho Guang
of the Asian Free Trade Entente.
**[00:18] ---**
Second Lieutenant Oliver Martin
of the Confederation of Oceania.
**[00:20] ---**
Likewise, Chairman Udou Kiryu.
**[00:24] ---**
I'll cut to the chase. We're prepared
to support Yatagarasu--
**[00:28] ---**
no, the people of Japan.
**[00:32] ---**
Historians of future generations
will note that
**[00:36] ---**
this was the day when we all took
the first step to change the world.
**[00:58] ---**
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
**[02:13] ---**
You're clear to unload!
Be careful, though!
**[02:18] ---**
Where could Chief and the others be
when we've got something so cool here?
**[02:26] ---**
Are you serious...?
**[02:28] ---**
Yes. The Asian, Oceanian,
and Eurasian blocs
**[02:31] ---**
will form a cooperation organization
in a specific Japanese region.
**[02:35] ---**
They approached us to see if we,
Yatagarasu, could join.
**[02:40] ---**
In return, they'll liberate the Hokuriku
region, an enclave of the AFTE.
**[02:47] ---**
The three blocs will treat it as Japanese
land and allow autonomy there.
**[02:52] ---**
Wow...
**[02:53] ---**
In other words, we'll be
taking back a part of Japan.
**[02:58] ---**
Wow, that's great!
**[02:59] ---**
That's mighty generous of them.
**[03:02] ---**
It shows how alarmed they are of the NAC.
**[03:06] ---**
They'll "liberate" and return our land?
**[03:09] ---**
They should be returning *all* of our land.
**[03:11] ---**
Tezuka...
**[03:14] ---**
Anyway, can they be trusted?
**[03:16] ---**
The Japanese government became a puppet
of the NAC. We may end up that way, too..
**[03:21] ---**
I don't disagree, but I think
this is still worth considering.
**[03:27] ---**
The land they plan on returning
includes Eurasian and NAC territories.
**[03:32] ---**
The Federation of Great Eurasia
has already agreed to it,
**[03:35] ---**
and we plan on negotiating with the NAC
after Japan's autonomy is restored.
**[03:41] ---**
The three blocs will back us up
when the time comes.
**[03:44] ---**
It includes Mr. Cyril's area, too.
**[03:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:48] ---**
It doesn't sound like a bad deal...
**[03:51] ---**
...but it's not as simple as that.
**[03:52] ---**
Isn't that right, Chairman?
**[03:54] ---**
That's correct.
There are two major issues.
**[03:58] ---**
Location is one.
**[04:00] ---**
Just like we mainly operate
in the Chugoku region,
**[04:03] ---**
there are others that operate
mainly in the Hokuriku region.
**[04:08] ---**
Resistance organizations have
strong horizontal relationships,
**[04:10] ---**
but not a hierarchical one.
**[04:13] ---**
If we, Yatagarasu,
act like representatives of Japan,
**[04:16] ---**
those that fought to protect
that region wouldn't be amused.
**[04:20] ---**
'Cause they'd lose face...
**[04:22] ---**
The other problem would be with the NAC?
**[04:25] ---**
The Japanese government may exist only
in name, but they're under NAC's thumb.
**[04:30] ---**
"To protect Japan," the NAC is able to
take aggressive military actions.
**[04:36] ---**
Obviously, the three blocs would
welcome the Japanese government,
**[04:40] ---**
but the NAC would never allow it.
**[04:45] ---**
There's no reason for them to
give the enemy an advantage.
**[04:49] ---**
If they *do* allow it, then *they*
become the enemy of Japan.
**[04:54] ---**
And then *they'd* lose face.
**[04:57] ---**
Which means there's a long road ahead
before we could negotiate with the NAC.
**[05:03] ---**
Why are you telling us this?
**[05:07] ---**
It was a request from
Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy.
**[05:11] ---**
We have high expectations for the three
original AMAIMs' combat ability.
**[05:17] ---**
To be completely honest,
that's all we care about.
**[05:20] ---**
We know there's another one in Hokkaido,
but it's out of my jurisdiction.
**[05:25] ---**
So my hands are tied.
**[05:27] ---**
We think highly of
the original AMAIMs you have.
**[05:32] ---**
However, that doesn't mean we'll
steal or seize your technology by force.
**[05:36] ---**
Doing so would upset the military balance
and trust between us.
**[05:42] ---**
Doubts and fear would tear us apart,
which goes against our initial goal.
**[05:48] ---**
How the original AMAIMs will be handled
will be written in the document.
**[05:53] ---**
This will be based on legal grounds.
**[05:56] ---**
We three economic blocs are open
to the cooperation organization.
**[06:01] ---**
You can take it or leave it.
We hope you'll make the smart decision.
**[06:08] ---**
You're MAILeS pilots.
**[06:11] ---**
That's why I thought you should know.
**[06:15] ---**
--Um...
--Hmm?
**[06:17] ---**
What about me?
**[06:18] ---**
Well, you're one of us, and the president
and chief developer of TRYVECTA.
**[06:24] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:25] ---**
Would you all think about it?
**[06:31] ---**
What do you think?
**[06:33] ---**
Well, I don't think it's a bad idea.
**[06:38] ---**
Yeah, but I'm sure
there'd be lots of issues.
**[06:42] ---**
More than what Mr. Udou mentioned.
**[06:44] ---**
We'll even have to go head-to-head
with the North American military.
**[06:47] ---**
They've always been our enemy.
**[06:50] ---**
Sure, but...
**[06:52] ---**
Hey, now. Don't be so down, Amou!
**[06:55] ---**
It's normal to feel nervous when you're
about to start something new.
**[06:59] ---**
It's also unprecedented.
**[07:01] ---**
Once the ball starts rolling,
the consequences will impact the future.
**[07:04] ---**
That's likely why Udou
hasn't come to a decision.
**[07:08] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:11] ---**
You all talking about that?
**[07:13] ---**
Try not to talk about it
in places like this.
**[07:16] ---**
You never know who's listening.
**[07:17] ---**
--Seriously, there's nothing better
than shiny new parts!
--If this gets out to the public, the whole plan could fall apart.
**[07:21] ---**
--The smell of fresh oil and everything
--If this gets out to the public,
the whole plan could fall apart.
**[07:24] ---**
--really gets my appetite going!
--If this gets out to the public,
the whole plan could fall apart.
**[07:24] ---**
--really gets my appetite going!
--These are sensitive topics.
**[07:26] ---**
--really gets my appetite going!
--Understood.
**[07:29] ---**
Gashin, Amou, and Shion
were discussing it, huh?
**[07:32] ---**
Yes...
**[07:33] ---**
What did the organization in Niigata say?
**[07:35] ---**
They were confounded.
**[07:38] ---**
Your initial assessment?
**[07:39] ---**
A ratio of six to four,
with more opposers than supporters.
**[07:42] ---**
I guess they aren't fond of the idea
that we'd be the new face of Japan...
**[07:47] ---**
I'm sure that's not
the only reason, but...
**[07:49] ---**
What do you plan to do if
Gashin and the other two oppose?
**[07:53] ---**
We can't simply dismiss
the three pilots' opinions.
**[07:57] ---**
So you're leaving it up to them?
**[07:59] ---**
No, it's us adults that'll
make the final call.
**[08:06] ---**
It's ours and the prior generations' fault
**[08:09] ---**
that Japan is currently divided
and ruled by strangers.
**[08:15] ---**
We mustn't leave this painful legacy
to the next generation.
**[08:23] ---**
We, the adults, must take responsibility,
so that the children can live freely.
**[08:29] ---**
That's my goal, at least.
**[08:32] ---**
Of course.
**[08:38] ---**
We should go for it.
**[08:42] ---**
I thought it over.
**[08:44] ---**
It's maddening to be in their debt,
but we'd still be getting Japan back.
**[08:50] ---**
Even if it's just one area,
it's a big step forward.
**[08:53] ---**
I choose to move forward
rather than waiting at a standstill.
**[08:59] ---**
We can deal with the problems as we go.
**[09:03] ---**
Better than fretting over it
right now, huh?
**[09:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:07] ---**
Yeah, I agree with you.
**[09:08] ---**
It makes me happy to think that
our actions are finally bearing fruit.
**[09:13] ---**
All thanks to you, my princess!
**[09:15] ---**
It was a team effort, silly.
**[09:18] ---**
If it means the Japanese people
can live like Japanese people...
**[09:22] ---**
If it's going to help those
who live in Japan, I'm in.
**[09:27] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:28] ---**
Exactly!
**[09:33] ---**
Ah, are they the original AMAIM pilots?
**[09:38] ---**
They're young but talented.
**[09:40] ---**
Yes, I know from experience.
**[09:48] ---**
I'd like to start, since we're all here.
**[09:52] ---**
First off, Chairman Udo, what's your
answer to yesterday's proposal?
**[09:56] ---**
We'd like to officially accept
**[09:59] ---**
and join the cooperation organization.
**[10:05] ---**
How are things going with
the organizations in Hokuriku?
**[10:08] ---**
We're still working on it,
but they're all lending their ears.
**[10:13] ---**
I believe we can get everyone on board
within a few days' time.
**[10:17] ---**
He's making it sound easy,
but this was only possible
**[10:20] ---**
because of his tenacious persuasion
during numerous meetings.
**[10:25] ---**
That said, I'd like to verify one thing.
**[10:27] ---**
Will you really enact laws to protect
the rights of the Japanese people?
**[10:33] ---**
We'll include that
in the document as well.
**[10:36] ---**
However, we will not allow immigration
to New Japan from other territories.
**[10:42] ---**
Understand?
**[10:44] ---**
--Yes.
--What...? But that's...
**[10:47] ---**
They're not saying this out of malice.
**[10:51] ---**
If the Japanese people can
live as Japanese people,
**[10:54] ---**
many would rush over to New Japan.
**[10:57] ---**
But at the start of restoration, we'll have
no economic base to support them.
**[11:03] ---**
We need to avoid New Japan from falling.
**[11:06] ---**
Of course, once it takes off...
**[11:11] ---**
We'll let the wind decide
what the future will hold.
**[11:15] ---**
Anyway, now that everyone's in agreement,
**[11:19] ---**
let's kick off the signing ceremony.
**[11:22] ---**
We'll leave immediately to assemble
in what will become New Japan!
**[11:38] ---**
I'm temporary First Lieutenant
Sun Qiong from the AFTE.
**[11:42] ---**
This hangar is for your exclusive use.
**[11:47] ---**
Please make yourselves at home.
**[11:49] ---**
Let me know if you need anything.
**[11:51] ---**
Thank you.
**[11:53] ---**
I'll excuse myself.
**[11:56] ---**
This is great. We'll be able to
work a lot more efficiently.
**[12:00] ---**
Reiki and Kenbu were sent to Hokuriku
yesterday, ready for final adjustments.
**[12:04] ---**
With all this equipment, we can assemble
Jogan's new armor and weapon sooner.
**[12:10] ---**
Don't worry, you'll catch up
to them in no time.
**[12:13] ---**
Right.
**[12:19] ---**
I've never been on a plane before.
**[12:22] ---**
Me neither.
**[12:23] ---**
We're flying between
Asian territories, so no red flags.
**[12:28] ---**
We don't need fake IDs. This is a breeze!
**[12:36] ---**
I'm Alexei Zelenoy.
**[12:38] ---**
Udou Kiryu.
**[12:40] ---**
Nice to meet you all.
**[12:43] ---**
I'd love to sit and chat,
but the signing ceremony is starting.
**[12:47] ---**
This way.
**[12:54] ---**
W-Wow...
**[12:56] ---**
Remember this moment well.
**[13:00] ---**
This will be a turning point in history!
**[13:04] ---**
"Streaming live from the signing ceremony"
"New government founded: part of Japan liberated by the AFTE"
**[13:04] ---**
Just now, the representatives of
the Eurasia, the AFTE, and the Oceania
**[13:08] ---**
have signed the document agreeing
to the cooperation organization.
**[13:15] ---**
"New government founded:
part of Japan liberated by the AFTE"
**[13:15] ---**
"Area that will be returned
to the new government"
**[13:15] ---**
The AFTE territory centering
around Hokuriku will be liberated,
**[13:20] ---**
transferring full sovereignty to the
newly established government there.
**[13:24] ---**
What are they thinking?! They just
created a country within a country!
**[13:28] ---**
Are they doing this out of spite?
**[13:30] ---**
This will shift the political
climate drastically.
**[13:45] ---**
Thank you all for your hard work.
**[13:48] ---**
Follow me, please.
**[13:54] ---**
She's pretty.
**[13:55] ---**
What?
**[13:57] ---**
Wh-Why are you making that face? Stop it.
**[14:00] ---**
Shion!
**[14:01] ---**
Anna! What are you doing here?
**[14:04] ---**
Getting some stuff done, since Brother's
sanctuary is now a part of New Japan.
**[14:10] ---**
I'm representing him.
**[14:11] ---**
He still needs to take care
of his newborn baby.
**[14:14] ---**
I see!
**[14:16] ---**
This is so exciting.
**[14:17] ---**
Yeah, it really is.
**[14:19] ---**
Hey, are you free tonight? Let's catch up.
**[14:22] ---**
Yes, of course!
**[14:27] ---**
Seems you and Major Cyril Zhirkov
know each other well.
**[14:32] ---**
I proposed we include them in New Japan.
**[14:36] ---**
Figured that'd make it easier
for you guys to join.
**[14:40] ---**
Was I wrong?
**[14:41] ---**
Um, no, I mean...
**[14:43] ---**
He knows.
**[14:46] ---**
Hmm? Who are you talking to?
**[14:49] ---**
It's bad manners to eavesdrop
on a private conversation.
**[14:52] ---**
Th-That's not what this is!
**[14:53] ---**
Amou, just show him!
He'll find out sooner or later.
**[14:56] ---**
O-Okay...
**[15:01] ---**
A sheep?
**[15:02] ---**
No! I'm a lion-dog!
**[15:04] ---**
Did you design this?
**[15:06] ---**
N-No, Gai came up with it.
**[15:08] ---**
I'm Gai, the autonomous AI in Kenbu!
Nice to meet you!
**[15:13] ---**
Hm, it speaks smoothly.
How high is its IQ?
**[15:18] ---**
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's super-duper high!
Don't take me for an idiot!
**[15:22] ---**
You certainly talk like one.
**[15:24] ---**
What?!
**[15:26] ---**
I had Major Zhirkov secretly
send me your combat data.
**[15:31] ---**
You urged the enemy
commander to retreat. Why?
**[15:36] ---**
Why?
**[15:37] ---**
Why didn't you kill him?
**[15:39] ---**
Because I didn't think it was necessary.
**[15:42] ---**
Did the AI tell you that?
**[15:43] ---**
No, it was my choice.
**[15:46] ---**
Hmm.
**[15:48] ---**
Is that a problem?
**[15:49] ---**
I'm not talking about right and wrong.
**[15:53] ---**
I'm asking if you're prepared to kill
your enemies when push comes to shove.
**[16:04] ---**
Yes.
**[16:06] ---**
You need to, in a war.
**[16:09] ---**
You aren't in the wrong at all.
**[16:12] ---**
I believe we can be good friends.
**[16:18] ---**
I'd like to have a drink with you one day.
**[16:21] ---**
Grow up into an adult sooner.
**[16:23] ---**
That's...
**[16:24] ---**
I'll be there, too!
**[16:27] ---**
But you can't drink.
**[16:28] ---**
Sorry to disappoint, but there's this
MR technology that we used before!
**[16:33] ---**
Oh?
**[16:34] ---**
I never imagined I'd
see you again like this.
**[16:39] ---**
Me neither.
**[16:43] ---**
Looks like the AFTE
gave up a lot of land for this.
**[16:46] ---**
Got stuck with the short end of the stick?
**[16:50] ---**
The enclaves were difficult to manage
since the NAC expanded its territory.
**[16:56] ---**
Communication, transportation of human
resources and supplies, supply lines...
**[17:01] ---**
The NAC interfered with us
on many occasions.
**[17:05] ---**
Some were glad to get rid of
the thorn in their side,
**[17:07] ---**
allowing the consolidation of forces.
**[17:12] ---**
I see.
**[17:13] ---**
We're giving up the land,
**[17:15] ---**
but Eurasia and Oceania are responsible
for the manpower and budget.
**[17:19] ---**
So it evens out.
**[17:22] ---**
That's good.
**[17:24] ---**
I was relieved when I
heard about this proposal.
**[17:28] ---**
I didn't want to point our guns at you.
**[17:33] ---**
You and me both.
**[17:35] ---**
Did you get an email from Yuusei?
**[17:37] ---**
Yeah, he said I beat him to it,
**[17:40] ---**
but he sounds happy for us.
**[17:42] ---**
The framework of New Japan
was largely based on
**[17:45] ---**
Yuusei's autonomous city
and Zhirkov's sanctuary.
**[17:49] ---**
--You should share that with him!
--Yeah.
**[17:51] ---**
Gashin, give me a hand, will ya?!
**[17:54] ---**
On it!
**[17:59] ---**
Have you lost your mind?
**[18:01] ---**
Former soldier of an infantry battalion
in the First Area Army.
**[18:05] ---**
Once chosen as a candidate for
a world shooting championship.
**[18:08] ---**
You had a brilliant career,
but now you live in the underworld.
**[18:13] ---**
But I can wipe your slate clean,
give you a new life.
**[18:19] ---**
You think I'd trust you?
**[18:22] ---**
I'm crossing a dangerous bridge myself.
**[18:26] ---**
Or would you rather take me down with you?
**[18:31] ---**
Your only choice is to
follow my orders or die.
**[18:40] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:52] ---**
You need to work on your tailing skills,
Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis.
**[18:58] ---**
I could write a letter of recommendation
for the Intelligence Agency's
**[19:03] ---**
special training program, if you'd like?
**[19:05] ---**
Have you really not noticed?
**[19:08] ---**
The Public Safety Department
is making their move.
**[19:14] ---**
You *do* know... Why are you doing this?!
**[19:20] ---**
You've changed since we acquired Ghost!
**[19:25] ---**
Request for your discharge,
Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis.
**[19:29] ---**
Before you get in my way.
**[19:33] ---**
A cooperation organization
founded by the three blocs?
**[19:37] ---**
New Japan? This is absurd!
**[19:40] ---**
Meaning, the NAC will not accept it?
**[19:45] ---**
Of course not. We have
the Japanese government.
**[19:49] ---**
What they're doing is
supporting terrorist organizations.
**[19:52] ---**
To accept it is to give in to terrorism!
**[19:56] ---**
But it's the politicians that have
stepped into the spotlight.
**[20:00] ---**
Scheming bastards...
**[20:01] ---**
The nerve of them to say they'll
welcome the Japanese government.
**[20:06] ---**
You won too hard.
**[20:09] ---**
And you pushed the three blocs to unite.
**[20:14] ---**
I told you,
**[20:15] ---**
you must win a little and lose a little,
maintaining the balance.
**[20:22] ---**
I don't need a lecture from you.
**[20:24] ---**
My apologies.
**[20:28] ---**
Your orders are to dismantle this
cooperation organization, correct?
**[20:34] ---**
We'll provide anything you need.
**[20:37] ---**
Am I free to use any means necessary?
**[20:40] ---**
I didn't say anything
or hear anything. And you'll--
**[20:45] ---**
...delete our communication records.
**[20:57] ---**
The NAC just contacted us, letting us know
that they'd like to hold a meeting.
**[21:04] ---**
Not to negotiate about the Japanese
government or the territory,
**[21:08] ---**
but as a preliminary step forward.
**[21:11] ---**
Therefore, each bloc's representatives
will not be attending this meeting.
**[21:15] ---**
The meeting in Tokyo will be
attended by me, three assistants,
**[21:20] ---**
and you, Shiiba Amou.
**[21:25] ---**
