[00:10] ---
    There's a sniper!
[00:11] ---
    Wh-Who is it?!
[00:15] ---
    Locked on to all targets.
    Launching a seeker.
[00:24] ---
    All units are offline!
[00:27] ---
    All enemies obliterated.
[00:31] ---
    A-Amazing...
[00:33] ---
    You there. Can your AMAIM still move?
[00:36] ---
    I sent you some map data.
    Security code A7C2.
[00:40] ---
    A7C2...
[00:42] ---
    Come with me. I'll cover you.
[00:47] ---
    N-Now what?
[00:48] ---
    It's a smoke screen with chaff.
[00:50] ---
    Radar and radio waves are disabled.
    We've lost the enemy units.
[00:54] ---
    Dammit!
[00:57] ---
    U-Um, thank you. You saved my life.
[01:03] ---
    Oh, I'm Shiiba Amou. This AMAIM is Kenbu,
    and the AI's name is Gai--
[01:09] ---
    --Stop it.
    --Huh?
[01:11] ---
    Don't touch me!
[01:14] ---
    But you're also trying to use
    my connection against me to gather intel.
[01:18] ---
    You're pretty good.
[01:20] ---
    A female voice?
[01:23] ---
    You won't believe this, Amou.
[01:25] ---
    There's another autonomous AI
    on that robot.
[03:05] ---
    I apologize for earlier.
[03:08] ---
    I'm Kei. This AMAIM is called Jogan.
[03:11] ---
    And this is Tezuka Gashin.
    It's nice to meet you.
[03:14] ---
    O-Oh, the pleasure is ours.
[03:16] ---
    What's this underground tunnel for?
    It's not in my data.
[03:20] ---
    A high-speed railway system that
    fell through before the Borderline War.
[03:24] ---
    Private-sectors were working on it,
[03:26] ---
    but abandoned the plan
    before going public.
[03:28] ---
    It's the reason why we can
    safely travel without detection.
[03:32] ---
    So they basically realized
    it'd cost too much and gave up.
[03:36] ---
    Most likely.
[03:37] ---
    U-Um, Mr. Tezuka.
[03:39] ---
    Drop the mister. It makes me cringe.
[03:42] ---
    O-Okay. Um, who are you guys?
    How did you get that AMAIM--
[03:48] ---
    Are you an idiot?
[03:50] ---
    Gashin.
[03:51] ---
    A Japanese person piloting an AMAIM
    and fighting the military.
[03:54] ---
    We are members of "Yatagarasu,"
    fighting to reclaim Japan.
[03:58] ---
    Ah, an encounter with
    a real terrorist, then.
[04:01] ---
    Wh-Where are you taking us?
[04:06] ---
    To our base camp.
[04:13] ---
    This is the terrorists' lair...
[04:15] ---
    Hey, you're back, Gashin!
[04:17] ---
    --Looks like everything worked out.
    --Yeah.
[04:19] ---
    Is he the kid everyone's talking about?
[04:22] ---
    Doesn't look like he's got much spunk.
[04:25] ---
    Okay then. I'm going to
    take these to maintenance.
[04:28] ---
    Thank you!
[04:29] ---
    Wait...
[04:30] ---
    You don't have a say in this.
[04:31] ---
    Welcome back, Gashin! Is he Shiiba Amou?
[04:35] ---
    Oh, yes, I am.
[04:37] ---
    Hello. I'm Kozaki Risa. Nice to meet you.
[04:41] ---
    Ah, nice to meet you, too.
[04:43] ---
    You're blushing.
[04:44] ---
    Shut it.
[04:46] ---
    Come with me. Boss wants to talk to you.
[04:51] ---
    I'm the leader of Yatagarasu's
    Special Forces Group Two, Kumai Goken.
[04:56] ---
    I-I'm Shiiba Amou.
[04:59] ---
    May I ask a few questions?
[05:02] ---
    Of course.
[05:03] ---
    First of all, do you have any accomplices?
[05:06] ---
    Secondly, how did you come across
    that AMAIM and assemble it?
[05:10] ---
    What is the code name of the autonomous
    AI connected to that AMAIM?
[05:14] ---
    It's Gai.
[05:15] ---
    Are you the creator of Gai?
[05:17] ---
    N-No, I'm not.
[05:19] ---
    I found that AMAIM in an abandoned
    facility deep inside the mountains.
[05:24] ---
    I assembled it using manipulators
    and winches already there.
[05:27] ---
    For parts that were out of commission,
    I went to find alternative ones.
[05:34] ---
    I don't have an accomplice.
[05:36] ---
    I found Gai inside the woods.
[05:38] ---
    Inside the woods?
[05:40] ---
    It's the truth. Apparently, Gai modified
    the cockpit so it could get in...
[05:45] ---
    Thanks to my foresight.
[05:47] ---
    Shut it.
[05:49] ---
    Amou.
[05:50] ---
    Y-Yes?
[05:51] ---
    Let me be straight with you.
    That AMAIM belongs to us.
[05:57] ---
    One of our backers provided us
    with that AMAIM.
[06:00] ---
    While the dev concept is different,
    it's the same series as Gashin's "Jogan."
[06:09] ---
    MAILeS...
[06:10] ---
    Yes, MAILeS. We shipped the parts for
    MAILeS: KENBU to our Shikoku branch.
[06:16] ---
    The plan was to send out a pilot along
    with a combat AI after its completion.
[06:20] ---
    But the Shikoku branch fell before that.
[06:23] ---
    We lost all communication
    and had no clue where it was.
[06:27] ---
    That's when you assembled
    and activated it.
[06:29] ---
    What's your point?
    You gonna claim ownership?
[06:32] ---
    Gai!
[06:34] ---
    Not a bad idea, but that just
    isn't fair for you guys.
[06:39] ---
    So, Shiiba Amou.
[06:42] ---
    Y-Yes?
[06:43] ---
    What do you think about joining us?
[06:46] ---
    Join a terrorist group?
[06:49] ---
    We're not terrorists.
    We're the Resistance.
[06:53] ---
    We don't harm anyone who's unarmed.
[06:56] ---
    I-I'm sorry.
[06:59] ---
    With just the two of you, you assembled
    Kenbu and won two battles.
[07:04] ---
    We find your strengths very interesting.
[07:08] ---
    What do you say?
[07:09] ---
    But...
[07:11] ---
    You're against it?
[07:13] ---
    Right now, I'm just fighting drones,
    but I'll eventually have to kill, right?
[07:19] ---
    What about it?!
[07:21] ---
    That AMAIM isn't a toy!
    It's a weapon used for battles!
[07:24] ---
    Take a look at this!
[07:26] ---
    Japanese people are treated this way
    all over Japan as we speak!
[07:29] ---
    Yet, you'd hesitate even when you have
    the power to save them?!
[07:35] ---
    B-But...
[07:43] ---
    I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse him.
[07:46] ---
    It was his father's dream
    to restore Japan,
[07:49] ---
    but he died before he could realize it.
[07:53] ---
    He was the previous pilot of Jogan,
    the AMAIM that saved you.
[07:58] ---
    Gashin has taken on his father's will.
[08:03] ---
    If you really are opposed to it,
[08:05] ---
    we'll help you get back
    to the civilian life.
[08:07] ---
    You'll change your name
    and live elsewhere.
[08:10] ---
    We have connections
    with other organizations
[08:11] ---
    throughout the country to do that.
[08:15] ---
    Of course, you'll have to
    return the AMAIM in that case.
[08:21] ---
    Just think about it.
[08:25] ---
    Will do.
[08:31] ---
    Gashin...
[08:38] ---
    What's up?
[08:40] ---
    Ms. Kozaki...
[08:42] ---
    You can talk to me
    if something's on your mind.
[08:48] ---
    Ms. Kozaki, why did you
    join the Resistance?
[08:53] ---
    I used to have a family.
    My dad, mom, and a little brother.
[09:00] ---
    They all died in a car crash.
[09:08] ---
    The other vehicle belonged
    to the Asian military.
[09:11] ---
    It was 90 to 100% their fault.
[09:15] ---
    But in this day and age...
[09:18] ---
    They used their extraterritorial rights
    and ended up getting away with it.
[09:21] ---
    Somehow, they made it our fault.
[09:24] ---
    They even charged me for the damage
    caused to the military vehicle.
[09:29] ---
    I was just in high school at the time.
[09:32] ---
    That's awful...
[09:34] ---
    I was left all alone.
[09:39] ---
    To this day, I still feel pain,
    sadness, and hatred.
[09:43] ---
    There must be many others
    who are going through what I did.
[09:47] ---
    That's why I joined the movement
    to take back Japan.
[09:51] ---
    Everyone here probably has
    more or less similar reasons.
[09:56] ---
    I don't have a reason
    like you or Tezuka have.
[10:02] ---
    My parents died from illness.
    It had nothing to do with the military.
[10:08] ---
    A sudden illness claimed Dad,
[10:10] ---
    and Mom relied on Dad for everything,
    so she quickly worked herself to death.
[10:15] ---
    Sure, it was sad and there was
    a sense of loss, but that's it.
[10:21] ---
    Amou?
[10:23] ---
    When I assembled that AMAIM,
    it was just to entertain myself.
[10:28] ---
    During the first battle,
    being able to move the robot I made,
[10:32] ---
    feeling its impact and vibration
    got my heart pumping and it was fun.
[10:38] ---
    But in the second battle, I almost died.
[10:42] ---
    I'm scared. I'm scared to fight.
[10:49] ---
    To tell you the truth, they told me
    to convince you to join.
[10:56] ---
    But I'm having second thoughts.
[11:00] ---
    If this was my brother,
    I'm not sure if I'd ask him to join.
[11:07] ---
    I think I'd want him to run off somewhere
    and live a peaceful life.
[11:13] ---
    I told you all this
    because it's my mission,
[11:15] ---
    but please take care of yourself.
[11:19] ---
    People can't be happy all alone...
[11:31] ---
    You're right...
[11:34] ---
    HQ notified us that the Asian military's
    been on high alert since we rescued Kenbu.
[11:41] ---
    We're going to abort our plan
    to cut the enemy's supply route.
[11:43] ---
    Once ready, all members
    will head back to HQ.
[11:47] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:48] ---
    Do you think Amou will join us?
[11:51] ---
    I'm not sure.
[11:53] ---
    What a weakling...
[11:55] ---
    We can always change out the pilots.
    It's the AMAIMs we need.
[11:59] ---
    That's true, but...
[12:02] ---
    If push comes to shove, I'll be the pilot.
[12:04] ---
    Useless pilots only hold us back.
[12:13] ---
    Shiiba Amou!
[12:15] ---
    Huh?
[12:16] ---
    Come with me!
[12:18] ---
    I'll train you.
[12:22] ---
    Um, what's this?
[12:25] ---
    Pilots need stamina, too.
[12:27] ---
    It won't hurt to have it,
    like in cases when you need to run.
[12:30] ---
    You do have a point...
[12:33] ---
    "Training Regiment"
[12:33] ---
    "Training Regiment"
    Running, 50m sprint, crunches,
    back extensions, pushups, squats...
[12:38] ---
    Running, 50m sprint, crunches,
    back extensions, pushups, squats...
[12:39] ---
    What's this?
[12:40] ---
    It's a light training regiment.
[12:42] ---
    --This is light?!
    --We'll do three sets.
[12:44] ---
    --What?!
    --Come on. We don't have all day.
[12:46] ---
    Uh, but...!
[12:50] ---
    What are they up to?
[12:51] ---
    Gashin's dragging Amou around
    for something.
[12:54] ---
    What's wrong with that? He finally has
    a friend his age. Let them be.
[13:07] ---
    What's this?
[13:09] ---
    We brought these as
    spare parts for "Jogan,"
[13:13] ---
    but since they seem to be parts for
    your AMAIM, I'm gonna install them.
[13:20] ---
    Oh!
[13:25] ---
    Let's call it a day.
[13:39] ---
    It's amazing! Seriously!
    You should go see!
[13:43] ---
    Sorry, I just can't right now.
[13:50] ---
    Let's go!
[14:13] ---
    I heard Gashin's dragging
    you around every day.
[14:16] ---
    You haven't touched your food.
[14:18] ---
    You can have mine if that's not enough.
[14:20] ---
    Take some of mine, too.
[14:21] ---
    Ah, no, that's not it...
[14:24] ---
    I'm too tired to even have an appetite...
[14:26] ---
    You should try this, then!
[14:30] ---
    My special blend.
[14:33] ---
    Uh...
[14:44] ---
    Ah, perfection!
[14:46] ---
    Let's move on then and
    connect the weapons unit.
[14:49] ---
    On it!
[14:54] ---
    Thirty!
[14:57] ---
    We're done for the day.
[15:12] ---
    Shiiba Amou.
[15:14] ---
    I finished assembling the armor
    that never made it to Shikoku.
[15:18] ---
    Come take a look!
[15:21] ---
    YM-02 Kenbu.
[15:23] ---
    This is Yatagarasu's latest
    humanoid robot weapon.
[15:26] ---
    It has a combat sword
    with super thermal vibration
[15:29] ---
    and a 60mm heavy-caliber machine gun.
[15:31] ---
    This is the final form of
    the MAILeS you assembled.
[15:35] ---
    What do you think? Cool, right?
[15:38] ---
    Or are you sour because
    you didn't get to work on it yourself?
[15:41] ---
    No, that's not it. I'm blown away
    by such professional work.
[15:46] ---
    Even the final touch-ups are
    much better than how I did it.
[15:59] ---
    I didn't know there was a river here.
[16:02] ---
    Since there's not enough bathtubs
    to go around at the camp,
[16:05] ---
    I sometimes come here
    to wash the sweat away.
[16:08] ---
    I see.
[16:13] ---
    Whoa!
[16:14] ---
    Come on, what are you waiting for?
    Take your clothes off, Amou.
[16:18] ---
    Uh, well, I...
[16:20] ---
    You wanna keep your clothes on?
[16:22] ---
    It's not that, but...
[16:24] ---
    Okay!
[16:25] ---
    Cannon ball!
[16:33] ---
    See? It's so cool and refreshing, right?
[16:38] ---
    Huh? What? Did I say something funny?
[16:41] ---
    Oh, no, it's just that this situation...
[16:49] ---
    Boss said we're ready to leave, so we'll
    be headed to Hiroshima tomorrow.
[16:56] ---
    Have you come to a decision?
[16:58] ---
    I'm still afraid to fight.
[17:01] ---
    But after a few days with everyone,
    I realize that you're all good people.
[17:08] ---
    I'll come with you.
[17:11] ---
    I also don't want to part ways with Kenbu,
    now that it's in its final form.
[17:16] ---
    And there's much to learn, so, um...
[17:23] ---
    I see! I'm glad to hear that.
[17:26] ---
    Thank you. We're counting on you.
[17:29] ---
    I'll do my best.
[17:31] ---
    Are you okay with that?
    I didn't really consult with you.
[17:35] ---
    It's totally fine.
[17:36] ---
    Like I said before. I'll stick with you
    no matter where you go.
[17:41] ---
    Gai...
[17:42] ---
    That's great! So he'll join us?
[17:44] ---
    Yes, though it's a little complicated...
[17:54] ---
    Are you ready, Amou?
[17:55] ---
    Yeah.
[17:56] ---
    Go!
[18:00] ---
    Wow...
[18:01] ---
    Let me adjust the anti-G.
    Do a turn and a jump next!
[18:05] ---
    I'll try!
[18:10] ---
    The movement is far better than before.
[18:13] ---
    They did a complete overhaul.
[18:15] ---
    Even the parts we made do with have been
    upgraded to the most recent models.
[18:22] ---
    Gai! I'm going to test out the sword next.
[18:25] ---
    You got it!
[18:36] ---
    I-It's incredible.
[18:39] ---
    This is the true power of Kenbu...
[18:49] ---
    How'd it go? Did you finish your test run?
[18:53] ---
    Y-Yeah. I'm actually shocked.
[18:56] ---
    It felt about 20% faster
    than the data being displayed.
[19:00] ---
    But are we allowed to do this?
[19:03] ---
    We've got the green light,
    and it won't take long.
[19:06] ---
    Under emergency situations,
    we may have to swap our AMAIMs.
[19:09] ---
    We need to be prepared.
[19:11] ---
    Hopefully, there won't be
    any emergency situations.
[19:14] ---
    Oh, wait, wouldn't the Asian military
    find us if we do this?
[19:17] ---
    Are you an idiot?
[19:20] ---
    We're engaged in high-level info warfare
    to deny satellite and radar usage.
[19:24] ---
    Without it, our base camp
    would've been spotted ages ago.
[19:27] ---
    Oh, I see.
[19:29] ---
    Anyway, let's get started.
[19:39] ---
    Yo! Nice to work with you!
[19:40] ---
    Yeah.
[19:42] ---
    If he turns out to be useless,
    I may have to pilot this AMAIM.
[19:51] ---
    Go easy on me.
[19:53] ---
    Y-You, too.
[19:55] ---
    This is mock battle. We have a fake sword,
[19:58] ---
    and you have paintballs
    that evaporate quickly. You good?
[20:01] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[20:04] ---
    Let's go!
[20:06] ---
    Your dash timing was off!
[20:08] ---
    I know!
[20:13] ---
    Gunfights can end in an instant.
    Always watch your line of fire and ammo.
[20:17] ---
    Okay!
[20:27] ---
    You need to step into it! Give it more
    oomph, and then blam! Get fired up!
[20:32] ---
    Shut it! Your job is to just
    give me data and analysis results!
[20:35] ---
    What?!
[20:38] ---
    Take good aim at them.
    Those paintballs won't do any damage.
[20:42] ---
    B-But it's all spick-and-span.
    I don't want to ruin it...
[20:46] ---
    What?!
[20:48] ---
    Yes! That's what I'm talking about!
[20:51] ---
    What an amateur!
    You think this is a game?!
[20:57] ---
    He's closing in! Change your weapon!
[20:59] ---
    Got it!
[21:29] ---
    A tie, then?
[21:34] ---
    Good, there aren't any big scratches.
[21:38] ---
    Als in MAILeS study the pilot's habits
    to improve AMAIM controls.
[21:42] ---
    This one seems to know your habits
    by heart with only two battles in,
[21:49] ---
    allowing you to move like it's your own.
[21:52] ---
    Like my own...
[21:53] ---
    What'd you expect? We're best friends!
[21:57] ---
    Best friends?
[21:58] ---
    What? I'm right, aren't I?
[22:01] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
    Best friends, huh? I like that.
[22:08] ---
    An explosion?
[22:09] ---
