[00:36] ---
    Alpha block, all units in position.
[00:39] ---
    Beta block, all units in position.
[00:42] ---
    We've received similar reports
    from the other squads.
[00:44] ---
    We're ready for combat!
[00:48] ---
    Commander...
[00:49] ---
    Mm.
[01:04] ---
    All Asian military troops are in position.
[01:07] ---
    Same goes for the Oceanian military.
[01:10] ---
    Eurasian military, in position.
[01:12] ---
    We're ready.
[01:18] ---
    Fire!
[01:19] ---
    Open fire!
[01:35] ---
    It's started.
[01:36] ---
    Yeah...
[01:53] ---
    "AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
[03:14] ---
    Miller squad, advancing forward!
[03:28] ---
    Louis squad, advancing forward!
[03:40] ---
    The enemy's closing in...
[03:44] ---
    Let's deal with the advance team first.
[03:46] ---
    Light it up.
[03:57] ---
    Those who manage to get past
    the newly-programmed Subbota troops
[04:01] ---
    will be destroyed by me
    and my Rytsar Demon!
[04:12] ---
    If now's not the time to gain fame,
    I don't know when is!
[04:16] ---
    Wilson squad, advancing forward!
[04:21] ---
    As is Byrne squad!
[04:25] ---
    All squads, initiate deployment.
[04:27] ---
    Group 1 is in enemy contact
    on the borderline.
[04:30] ---
    They're engaging.
[04:31] ---
    This is it.
[04:34] ---
    A battle of this magnitude has been
    unheard of in recent years.
[04:37] ---
    How will the tide of the battle turn?
[04:53] ---
    What's this?!
[04:55] ---
    Their movements are different
    from other Asian military units!
[05:05] ---
    Hmm. Seems our units have
    learned each other's quirks.
[05:11] ---
    It also has a variety of
    tactical patterns programmed,
[05:15] ---
    making it possible to flexibly respond
    based on the situation in battle.
[05:19] ---
    I expect nothing less from the brilliant
    woman who created the lion-dog AIs.
[05:32] ---
    Of course, with our incomplete state,
    they have the advantage...
[05:37] ---
    But it's up to the commanders
    to overturn that disadvantage!
[05:48] ---
    Go, go! Offense is
    the best form of defense!
[05:51] ---
    Eurasian attack team 1
    has defeated the enemy units.
[05:55] ---
    Oceanian advance teams 4 and 6
    have broken through the enemy lines.
[05:59] ---
    Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy is remarkable.
[06:01] ---
    Our troops are also doing well, but...
[06:05] ---
    Right...
[06:07] ---
    Looking at the situation overall,
[06:08] ---
    the front lines are
    slowly being pushed back.
[06:11] ---
    But a small group is
    achieving astonishing results...
[06:15] ---
    You mean Yatagarasu's three MAILeS units?
[06:18] ---
    Right.
[06:32] ---
    All units, advance forward!
    Push back the enemy lines!
[06:41] ---
    How are the unmanned units, Kei?
[06:43] ---
    They're good. They move
    exactly the way I tell them to.
[06:47] ---
    Their mobility has improved as well.
[06:50] ---
    I can't complain about
    their strength, either.
[06:52] ---
    That's good...
[07:05] ---
    Can't sleep?
[07:07] ---
    No, I'm just thinking...
[07:10] ---
    If we win tomorrow's battle,
[07:12] ---
    we can get Japan back,
    even if it's just a part.
[07:15] ---
    My dad's dream will come true.
[07:18] ---
    I'd tell you not to put too much pressure
    on yourself, but that'd be impossible.
[07:23] ---
    I understand.
[07:25] ---
    We'll take your condition into account
    and provide support for you.
[07:29] ---
    Thanks.
[07:31] ---
    Enemy fire concentrating
    on your right, SW212!
[07:35] ---
    Roger that. Let's provide backup.
[07:57] ---
    That was perfect, my princess!
[07:58] ---
    Thanks, but it's only possible
    because of you and these guys.
[08:02] ---
    They are your loyal servants.
[08:05] ---
    Servants...?
[08:06] ---
    Enemy squads on
    our lower right rear, 37, 30!
[08:15] ---
    Targets acquired on all units!
[08:16] ---
    Okay!
[08:24] ---
    Good job, Amou. We mostly wiped out
    the enemies around this area!
[08:32] ---
    That movement...
[08:33] ---
    Yeah, I figured it'd show up.
[08:36] ---
    Alerts are going off in my systems!
[08:51] ---
    There's no mistake.
    That unit has Ghost installed.
[08:57] ---
    Gashin! Ghost is here!
[09:00] ---
    It's where Amou is, my princess!
[09:01] ---
    Got it!
[09:04] ---
    During the mission,
    we'll each lead unmanned units
[09:08] ---
    and fight at our designated location.
[09:10] ---
    That's the most efficient way
    to fight a large-scale battle.
[09:14] ---
    But that changes once Ghost shows up.
[09:21] ---
    If we don't deal with it,
    it'll do major damage against us.
[09:26] ---
    Thus, lowering our chances of winning.
[09:28] ---
    So the three of us will
    engage Ghost together.
[09:32] ---
    Udou, Hou, and the others
    have signed off on this plan.
[09:41] ---
    Get to point 366, 384!
[09:43] ---
    Got it!
[09:47] ---
    We've seen your aerial
    maneuvers multiple times!
[09:50] ---
    You're not getting past us to go help him!
[09:58] ---
    I have no intentions of
    helping the captain,
[10:00] ---
    but it's a soldier's duty
    to see the mission through...!
[10:06] ---
    Kenbu is engaging in battle with
    an AMAIM with Ghost likely installed.
[10:10] ---
    Tezuka squad and Shishibe squad
    are unable to provide backup.
[10:13] ---
    Front lines are still being pushed back!
[10:15] ---
    As expected, they brought Ghost in.
[10:19] ---
    I need to stop it, no matter what...!
[10:37] ---
    It seems we have all the players in place.
[10:40] ---
    My efforts to get this stage ready
    are finally paying off.
[10:46] ---
    A single missile will cost them
    tens of thousands of dollars.
[10:50] ---
    Honestly... It's like a circus show
    put on by idiots.
[10:55] ---
    Would you like to join me and watch?
[10:58] ---
    Although, I don't remember
    inviting you, Mr. Dialo.
[11:05] ---
    Such an outdated gun model...
[11:13] ---
    Keep your guard up, Amou.
[11:15] ---
    I know.
[11:30] ---
    Why is it moving like that?!
    Is it an unmanned unit?!
[11:33] ---
    Watch out!
[11:41] ---
    Gai?!
[11:43] ---
    Can you hear me, Shiiba Amou?
[11:46] ---
    This voice...
[11:47] ---
    Ghost managed to hack into
    our communication line...!
[11:53] ---
    Our fight has just started.
[11:55] ---
    Now, show me the time of my life.
[11:59] ---
    The time of your life?!
[12:01] ---
    Quit fooling around!
    I'm cutting the communication!
[12:03] ---
    Wait!
[12:07] ---
    Is this Captain Brad Watt
    piloting that unit?
[12:11] ---
    That's right.
[12:13] ---
    You obtained Ghost
    by teaming up with German?
[12:17] ---
    That's right.
[12:20] ---
    Did you also order the attack
    on TRYVECTA's backup facility?
[12:29] ---
    So what if I did?
[12:50] ---
    Amou! Your pulse and
    blood pressure are increasing!
[12:53] ---
    Calm down!
[12:55] ---
    I'm going to take you down.
[12:57] ---
    You're going to pay for your sins!
[13:02] ---
    Bring it on.
[13:07] ---
    The enemy has an endless
    supply of reinforcements.
[13:10] ---
    Don't rush and don't get caught off guard.
[13:13] ---
    Yup, I'm good.
[13:15] ---
    After all, I have a promise to keep.
[13:22] ---
    I think you've already heard about it,
[13:24] ---
    but there's likely going to be
    a battle tomorrow. I'll take part in it.
[13:30] ---
    We're going to win this.
[13:32] ---
    We'll get Japan back,
    and bring back Himeno ware.
[13:38] ---
    Hello?
[13:41] ---
    Grandpa?
[13:44] ---
    Shion...
[13:46] ---
    Yes.
[13:47] ---
    Just... Just come back safely...
[13:57] ---
    Okay...
[14:03] ---
    I'm going to make it back
    and see Grandpa and everyone.
[14:07] ---
    I want to live with them again.
[14:09] ---
    Let's do this!
[14:25] ---
    All shots hit their marks!
[14:27] ---
    Release the empty missile containers!
[14:29] ---
    On it!
[14:34] ---
    --We did it!
    --In front of you!
[14:42] ---
    We're not gonna fall for the same attack!
[14:57] ---
    The enemy troops have
    entered the set location!
[14:59] ---
    W27, ready to fire!
[15:02] ---
    Roger that! Let's wipe them out with this!
[15:24] ---
    Heavy armor units, advance forward!
[15:27] ---
    Don't aim for the actual AMAIM,
[15:30] ---
    but its surrounding
    and the slope under it!
[15:34] ---
    Its equipment isn't designed
    for mobility at all.
[15:37] ---
    If it loses its footing,
    we can neutralize it!
[15:40] ---
    Get rid of the Gatling gun!
    We're going to fall all the way down!
[15:43] ---
    Got it!
[15:55] ---
    It's so powerful...
[15:57] ---
    It turned off its limiters again...
[15:59] ---
    Not according to the detection data.
[16:03] ---
    Cutting off the limiters
    is a double-edged sword.
[16:05] ---
    It gives you explosive power,
    but your energy depletes quicker.
[16:10] ---
    It's not fit for a large-scale
    battle like this one!
[16:13] ---
    Then, how?!
[16:14] ---
    I think the pilot's set the safety
    mechanisms down to the bare minimum.
[16:18] ---
    Things like shock absorber
    and counter cushion...
[16:21] ---
    And he's re-allocating everything to
    computer resources and control output!
[16:26] ---
    But that means the pilot inside will...!
[16:28] ---
    He's either not afraid to die,
    or a maniac.
[16:32] ---
    Either way, he won't make it
    through this unharmed!
[16:37] ---
    Think they figured it out by now?
[16:40] ---
    Delivering one attack drains me
    physically and mentally.
[16:46] ---
    But I'm still going to ride this AMAIM.
[16:49] ---
    I'm going to fight in this AMAIM!
[16:51] ---
    I've been waiting for this moment!
[16:55] ---
    Putting my life on the line!
[17:09] ---
    Gai!
[17:11] ---
    D-Don't worry...
[17:14] ---
    Just a little power surge on the unit...
[17:20] ---
    Gai, turn off the safety
    mechanism for the cockpit.
[17:24] ---
    What?!
[17:24] ---
    This is the only way!
[17:26] ---
    Don't be stupid!
[17:27] ---
    It's not even designed to be
    turned off! It can't be done!
[17:30] ---
    But then what?!
[17:30] ---
    I'm not gonna go through
    what I did at the Oki Islands!
[17:41] ---
    At the time, I was willing
    to die with you.
[17:46] ---
    But when I found out
    that you were alive...
[17:51] ---
    ...I was happy.
[17:55] ---
    That's why...
[17:58] ---
    That's why I'm going to protect you,
    no matter what!
[18:07] ---
    Gai...
[18:09] ---
    Jogan and Reiki are both unable to pull
    themselves away from the enemy squads!
[18:13] ---
    Kenbu is still fighting Ghost,
    accumulating heavy damage!
[18:17] ---
    Send in nearby troops as backup!
[18:19] ---
    We can't! All squads are
    struggling to hold on as is!
[18:23] ---
    I never thought things would
    get this hairy without the MAILeS.
[18:28] ---
    Ms. Misuzu is doing her best
    to send out version updates, but...
[18:46] ---
    Stand strong! This is a critical moment!
[18:49] ---
    If they break through the front lines,
    there'll be no stopping them!
[19:00] ---
    I'm not done, I can still fight--
[19:05] ---
    The Agano River defense line
    has been breached.
[19:10] ---
    Second Lieutenant Byrne, can you hear me?!
[19:12] ---
    Yes, I can!
[19:14] ---
    The unmanned units in my squad
    have all been destroyed!
[19:16] ---
    Let's retreat! We'll join
    the rear echelon troops!
[19:19] ---
    Copy that. Headed to
    the rendezvous point--
[19:23] ---
    Second Lieutenant Byrne?!
[19:28] ---
    Port defense units are wiped out!
[19:30] ---
    The enemy has taken over the port!
[19:33] ---
    We lost contact with Oceanian squad 4, 6,
    and the advance team!
[19:36] ---
    Enemy forces have
    broken through the front line!
[19:38] ---
    The North American military has cut off
    our Tohoku and Eurasia supply lines.
[19:44] ---
    Those were two major supply lines...
[19:46] ---
    This is bad. Supplies are still being
    transported by sea, but it won't be quick.
[19:53] ---
    Kenbu's still fighting and taking on
    significantly more damage!
[20:03] ---
    Amou, to your left!
[20:07] ---
    Dammit!
[20:26] ---
    A pilot is in there!
[20:31] ---
    He's ignoring the damage to himself!
[20:33] ---
    He's willing to pay the price
    to win the war.
[20:38] ---
    We may have incurred
    more damage to our AMAIM,
[20:41] ---
    but pilot-to-pilot,
    he's more exhausted than us!
[20:44] ---
    Which means the situation itself is even!
[20:49] ---
    Every move I make, I feel like my bones
    are screaming and I'm being gutted...
[20:56] ---
    But I'm not done... Not yet!
[21:12] ---
    For every hit I get in,
    he hits back two or three times!
[21:47] ---
    That was close! I'm going again!
[21:49] ---
    Go for it!
[21:53] ---
    Huh?
[22:00] ---
    Gai? Gai?!
[22:06] ---
    Gai!

    Gai, I'm where I am today thanks to you.
[23:57] ---
    You were always by my side,
    and I'm grateful. You helped me so much.
[24:03] ---
    So let's fight till the end,
    with just me, Kenbu, and you, Gai!
