[00:07] ---
    What did you think,
    Second Lieutenant Louis?
[00:10] ---
    Did the captain act suspiciously
    during the op?
[00:14] ---
    No, not really...
[00:16] ---
    He seemed to be a little more
    on the defensive, but...
[00:19] ---
    Just don't get ahead of yourself too much.
[00:22] ---
    Pike Davis' whereabouts
    are still unknown, as well.
[00:25] ---
    You must be patient.
[00:28] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:43] ---
    In the wake of Congressman
    Roy Walker's assassination attempt,
[00:48] ---
    the NAC will be launching a large-scale
    attack on the Hokuriku region.
[00:52] ---
    So far, so good for Deputy Commander
    Spears and Captain Watt, I suppose.
[00:58] ---
    I shall be very busy.
[01:03] ---
    Rats?
[01:04] ---
    It seems I have a trespasser
    looking into my location.
[01:32] ---
    "AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[02:55] ---
    We're glad you're safe,
    Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy.
[02:58] ---
    You too, Amou.
[02:59] ---
    Unfortunately, we cannot
    celebrate just yet...
[03:03] ---
    Misuzu and Gashin
    have just arrived, as well.
[03:09] ---
    Maki Misuzu and Tezuka Gashin,
    reporting for duty.
[03:18] ---
    May I have a moment,
    Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy?
[03:21] ---
    Of course.
[03:22] ---
    You, too, Misuzu.
[03:24] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:25] ---
    You two must be tired. Get some rest.
[03:30] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:31] ---
    Hey, give me a hand.
[03:33] ---
    No, not that one.
[03:34] ---
    --Hey, thanks.
    --Be careful.
[03:37] ---
    Everyone's carrying on like usual.
[03:40] ---
    Of course, they are. We don't know when
    the North American military will attack.
[03:44] ---
    I'm sure they're keeping
    their emotions bottled up...
[03:48] ---
    Just like I am.
[03:52] ---
    You know, back there, I couldn't cry.
[04:00] ---
    Don't get me wrong. I was shocked,
    just like that time with you, Amou.
[04:04] ---
    But there was a part of me that was calm.
[04:08] ---
    My thoughts were running
    all over the place,
[04:10] ---
    but it was like another
    part of me was watching
[04:15] ---
    and thinking "I have to protect them.
    I have to defeat the enemies."
[04:27] ---
    I pushed Mr. Masaki's death
    to the corner of my mind...
[04:32] ---
    How could I?!
[04:36] ---
    Shion...
[04:38] ---
    Mr. Masaki would've kicked our butts
    if we lost it during battle.
[04:44] ---
    He would've said,
    "Now's not the time! Fight back!"
[04:49] ---
    We can grieve after the dust settles.
[04:52] ---
    So you did the right thing.
[05:11] ---
    With this incident, the NAC
    has an excuse to fight us now.
[05:16] ---
    I have no doubt they'll launch
    a large-scale attack on us next time.
[05:20] ---
    I agree.
[05:21] ---
    We'll request reinforcements.
[05:24] ---
    As much as I hate to
    play into the enemy's hands...
[05:27] ---
    Yes...
[05:28] ---
    They'll likely deploy a unit
    with Ghost installed,
[05:30] ---
    as well as units with
    tactical AIs based off of Ghost.
[05:35] ---
    AMAIM with Ghost will be a pain.
[05:38] ---
    That AMAIM, huh?
[05:40] ---
    You know it?
[05:41] ---
    Yes... I've fought it before.
[05:44] ---
    I've asked Misuzu to work on AI
    improvements to level the playing field.
[05:48] ---
    I'll send you the combat data
    from my battle.
[05:51] ---
    Thank you!
[05:52] ---
    Of course. We're on the same team,
    fighting the same threat.
[06:14] ---
    Thank you for coming all the way
    down here, Commander in Chief Freeman.
[06:18] ---
    It wasn't that long of a flight.
[06:21] ---
    Anyway, I reviewed the data of
    the AMAIM with Ghost you had installed.
[06:28] ---
    Not bad.
[06:31] ---
    The development of the new tactical AI
    is coming along as well.
[06:36] ---
    I look forward to its completion.
[06:39] ---
    Yes... You'll be seeing them soon.
[06:54] ---
    Captain.
[06:56] ---
    U-Um, we can do that...
[06:59] ---
    No, I want to do it. Let me do it.
[07:07] ---
    I understand. I'll leave you to it then.
[07:14] ---
    "Masaki"
[07:20] ---
    Is that Masaki's belongings?
[07:25] ---
    If it's all right,
    could you add this, too?
[07:27] ---
    I heard it was his favorite...
[07:30] ---
    Sweet olives...?
[07:32] ---
    They're not in season...
    It must've been hard to find.
[07:57] ---
    Pike Davis?
[08:11] ---
    Wh-Who are you people?!
[08:25] ---
    Hey, bring the cables over here!
[08:28] ---
    Chief's got her hands full
    with AI development!
[08:30] ---
    That means we have to step up
    and do a thorough job!
[08:33] ---
    Right!
[08:34] ---
    Don't worry! We'll ask Chief
    to check our work if we're unsure!
[08:40] ---
    He just ruined the moment...
[08:49] ---
    Hello, this is Maki.
[08:51] ---
    I'm sorry to bother you,
    but do you have a moment?
[08:56] ---
    You want ARES' help?
[08:58] ---
    I was hoping they'd join us
    in the upcoming battle.
[09:03] ---
    Where are they now?
[09:05] ---
    Our contract expired a while ago,
    so I'm not sure...
[09:11] ---
    What? Right now?
[09:12] ---
    I'm sorry. There's somewhere I have to be.
[09:16] ---
    Of course, I'll pay the fee
    for breaking the contract...
[09:19] ---
    That's fine, but where are you going?
[09:23] ---
    I need to set some things right.
[09:29] ---
    I see. All right, then.
[09:32] ---
    Would you be able to provide me with
    their contact info so I can contact them?
[09:36] ---
    Yes, I'll send it to you via email later.
[09:40] ---
    Thank you.
[09:54] ---
    We're in position!
[09:55] ---
    Roger that. Everyone, prepare for combat.
[09:57] ---
    Locks deactivated.
    Are we sure he's in there?
[10:01] ---
    We've checked all the cameras.
    He hasn't moved in the last six hours.
[10:05] ---
    Move in!
[10:11] ---
    Clear!
[10:20] ---
    Clear!
[10:34] ---
    It's so easy to control
    security camera feeds.
[10:38] ---
    Surely you must know that?
[10:57] ---
    Captain.
[10:59] ---
    An explosion?
[11:01] ---
    According to the Intelligence Agency,
    we don't know who owned that room.
[11:05] ---
    The bomb type suggests
    the work of a professional.
[11:09] ---
    What's he got himself into?
[11:14] ---
    Where is he now?
[11:15] ---
    Unknown. Since none of
    the bodies match his description,
[11:21] ---
    we believe he escaped.
[11:27] ---
    I'm with the Public Safety Department.
[11:30] ---
    We're going after Brad Watt.
[11:32] ---
    He's a cunning man.
[11:34] ---
    We don't want to spook him,
    so you need to stop snooping around.
[11:40] ---
    One wrong move,
    and we'll charge you as well.
[11:44] ---
    You've been warned.
[11:53] ---
    Have you heard that
    the Commander in Chief has arrived?
[11:57] ---
    This is really happening.
[11:59] ---
    We're going to be busy. Let's get ready.
[12:05] ---
    I trust you've read through the files?
[12:09] ---
    Primary witnesses to Congressman
    Roy Walker's sniper incident have escaped,
[12:13] ---
    exchanging fire with our pursuit group.
[12:17] ---
    These terrorists claiming to be New Japan
[12:20] ---
    have occupied the Hokuriku region,
    gathering forces there.
[12:24] ---
    We cannot allow this.
[12:26] ---
    The Confederation has
    given us the green light.
[12:29] ---
    We will launch a large-scale attack
    to liberate the Hokuriku region.
[12:41] ---
    Here in Yokosuka harbor, a plethora of
    AMAIMs and combat vehicles are being sent
[12:45] ---
    from the North Pacific North American
    military base to join this military operation.
[12:49] ---
    The South Pacific and
    the Indian Ocean fleets
[12:53] ---
    are also deploying their troops.
[12:57] ---
    Commander in Chief Freeman is--
[12:59] ---
    This is it.
[13:01] ---
    So far, things are going as expected.
[13:03] ---
    The second batch of troops from our
    surface fleet will be here in three hours.
[13:08] ---
    Same goes for us.
[13:09] ---
    Troops are in position
    near the northeastern border
[13:13] ---
    to open a supply route.
[13:15] ---
    We're quickly arranging
    the troops that have arrived.
[13:18] ---
    We should be done by 1800.
[13:29] ---
    I never imagined
    a day like this would come.
[13:31] ---
    Me either.
[13:32] ---
    We, the New Japan military--
[13:36] ---
    That's what I'd like to call ourselves,
    if that's okay?
[13:40] ---
    I have no objection.
[13:42] ---
    No issues here.
[13:44] ---
    We, the New Japan military,
    are just a ragtag team.
[13:47] ---
    At least, that's how
    the North American military sees us.
[13:50] ---
    Let's prove them wrong.
[13:57] ---
    Are they still inside the simulation?
[14:00] ---
    Just let them be.
[14:03] ---
    They're risking their lives
    a lot more than we are.
[14:15] ---
    Not bad.
[14:17] ---
    Yeah, but I still want to
    improve a little more.
[14:20] ---
    You gain experience by practicing more,
    thereby improving your accuracy.
[14:24] ---
    In live combat, there'll always be
    uncertainties, but we've got you covered.
[14:29] ---
    All the more reason for us
    to improve. Let's keep at it!
[14:32] ---
    There's no guarantee
    our hard work will pay off,
[14:35] ---
    but that's no excuse to not try.
[14:38] ---
    Yup, you're right.
[14:40] ---
    You know the saying,
    "do your best and leave the rest to fate."
[14:43] ---
    That's it!
[14:44] ---
    Hear me out.
[14:46] ---
    We may not be able to control fate,
    but we can try improving our luck!
[14:46] ---
    "Hachiman Shrine"
[14:52] ---
    Ooh, sweet dumplings!
[14:52] ---
    "Candy Apple" "Skewered Chicken"
    "Sweet Dumplings"
[14:53] ---
    "Bubble Tea" "Octopus Balls"
[14:54] ---
    Octopus balls!
[14:57] ---
    They all look so delicious!
[15:00] ---
    Well, this got her spirit up.
[15:02] ---
    Yeah.
[15:03] ---
    Ohh.
[15:05] ---
    So this is the torii gate. This is my
    first time getting to actually see one.
[15:20] ---
    It smells like a shrine.
[15:21] ---
    This is kind of comforting.
[15:23] ---
    Yeah.
[15:27] ---
    Hey, look, look! It's me!
[15:29] ---
    Hmm... You don't really look like them.
[15:32] ---
    Yes, I do! I look exactly like them!
[15:35] ---
    I thought you were a racoon.
[15:36] ---
    --Huh?!
    --What?!
[15:38] ---
    Now, now...
[15:39] ---
    "Fortune Slip"
[15:41] ---
    Hey, my fortune is "great blessing."
[15:42] ---
    That's great! Way to go, my princess!
[15:45] ---
    I got "great blessing," too.
[15:46] ---
    Things are looking good.
[15:48] ---
    Mine is "small blessing."
    Not bad but not that good...
[15:51] ---
    What are you talking about?
    It just means things are gonna look up!
[16:15] ---
    How's it going, Charlie?
[16:16] ---
    I've incorporated all the combat data.
[16:19] ---
    It's going through it right now.
[16:21] ---
    I've completely deleted all of
    Ghost's backup, as requested.
[16:26] ---
    The only copy is installed on that unit.
[16:28] ---
    Yes, thank you.
[16:33] ---
    This is Brad.
[16:34] ---
    This is Raymond. We have the dates
    for our next mission.
[16:38] ---
    I see.
[16:48] ---
    We have intel that the NAC is assembling
    troops at their base near Hokuriku.
[16:54] ---
    By dawn tomorrow,
    they'll be ready to deploy.
[16:57] ---
    Tomorrow, huh?
[16:59] ---
    According to our PFP computer,
    Murakumo, our odds of winning are 45%.
[17:05] ---
    It's far lower than expected,
    and we're at a disadvantage.
[17:09] ---
    This is the trend over time.
[17:13] ---
    Our odds of winning decreases
    as the time goes by.
[17:16] ---
    They have slightly more resources than us,
[17:19] ---
    but it isn't only because of
    a difference in numbers.
[17:22] ---
    It also means their tactical AI units
    shouldn't be underestimated.
[17:28] ---
    However, this is just a forecast.
[17:30] ---
    That's right. It's up to
    us commanders to change that.
[17:35] ---
    How's the tactical AI situation
    on our side looking?
[17:38] ---
    Misuzu has completed
    the early version of it,
[17:41] ---
    and has started the installation process.
[17:45] ---
    She said she'll collect all data
    from past and present combat,
[17:49] ---
    giving it another update.
[17:51] ---
    Understood.
[17:52] ---
    How does the saying go?
    "Different approach, excellent method,
[17:55] ---
    the result crowns the work"?
[17:58] ---
    I'm impressed, although the saying
    goes a little different.
[18:02] ---
    Is that so? Well, no matter.
[18:08] ---
    Tomorrow's going to be a long day.
[18:23] ---
    We're finally doing this tomorrow.
[18:25] ---
    Yup.
[18:30] ---
    What do you wanna do after we beat
    the North American army and come back?
[18:34] ---
    Huh? Hmm... I can't think of anything.
[18:39] ---
    What about you, Gai?
[18:40] ---
    First, I gotta have
    that drink with Alexei.
[18:43] ---
    I'm an AI of my word!
[18:47] ---
    I'll study up on MR technology.
[18:51] ---
    I wanna travel, too!
    Travel all over Japan, no, the world!
[18:56] ---
    We promised, remember?
[18:57] ---
    Our great adventure.
[18:58] ---
    Yup!
[19:00] ---
    But, Gai, you can see the world digitally.
[19:03] ---
    Oh, you just don't get it!
[19:05] ---
    The point is that we go together!
[19:12] ---
    Right. Then, where do you
    want to go to the most?
[19:15] ---
    Let's see... First, the North Pole.
[19:18] ---
    That's far.
[19:19] ---
    It'll be a piece of cake!
    Just leave it to me!
[19:22] ---
    Seriously?
[19:23] ---
    Yeah!
[19:27] ---
    This is the most recent
    tactical AI based off of Ghost.
[19:32] ---
    These units are going to be
    completely different.
[19:48] ---
    I'm being transferred? Now?
[19:50] ---
    "As of today, you are being transferred
    to an independent force"?
[19:55] ---
    Why? Now, of all times?
[19:59] ---
    Brave and loyal soldiers
    of the North American military.
[20:03] ---
    The time has come for a decisive battle.
[20:05] ---
    We, the Confederation, have been fighting
    hard to protect the autonomy of Japan,
[20:09] ---
    and we must protect it again
    from other nations and terrorists!
[20:14] ---
    First of all, I'd like to extend
    my gratitude to everyone here today.
[20:19] ---
    Because of you, we have gotten this close
    to realizing our vision of New Japan.
[20:25] ---
    This battle marks our first obstacle
    in founding New Japan.
[20:32] ---
    The NJCO's blatant lie of peace
    and their use of violence are,
[20:37] ---
    without doubt, acts of aggression
    that disrupt world peace.
[20:42] ---
    But we can... no, we're the only ones
    who can stop them.
[20:48] ---
    Each one of you has the strength.
[20:52] ---
    However, we're currently weak.
[20:56] ---
    We must ask for your help.
[21:00] ---
    Yesterday, we were pointing
    our guns at each other.
[21:04] ---
    But today, we are one army.
[21:07] ---
    We are comrades
    who have each other's backs.
[21:10] ---
    In Japan, we call this "enishi,"
    a destined encounter.
[21:14] ---
    Become heroes. Prove to them
    that justice is on our side!
[21:21] ---
    We're counting on you to give it your all!
[21:24] ---
    Today, we stand here, side by side.
[21:27] ---
    Who do you see next to you?
[21:35] ---
    I hope for this friendship
    to last forever,
[21:39] ---
    for the day when we can smile from
    the bottom of our hearts, together.
[21:46] ---
    Godspeed.
[22:18] ---
    "Episode 23: Outbreak of War"
[23:50] ---
    "Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[23:51] ---
    It's finally starting...
[23:52] ---
    Are you nervous, Amou?
[23:54] ---
    Yeah, I am. My hands are shaking.
[23:57] ---
    Don't worry, I'll do my best
    to support you!
[24:01] ---
    Finally, our time has come, Ghost!
[24:04] ---
    Let's show them what we
    can do on the battlefield!

    "Episode 24: Hokuriku Frontline (Part 1)"
[24:09] ---
    
[24:10] ---
    "See you in the next episode!"
[24:11] ---
