**[00:18] ---**
I'm sorry I just started
crying back there.
**[00:22] ---**
I'm so embarrassed...
**[00:23] ---**
Don't worry about it.
We actually owe you, so thanks.
**[00:28] ---**
They sent me to help with the fighting
that erupted nearby. I'm glad I did okay.
**[00:34] ---**
Oh! I never introduced myself!
I'm Shishibe Shion. Nice to meet you.
**[00:40] ---**
N-Nice to meet you.
**[00:42] ---**
Um...
**[00:44] ---**
Gashin, say something!
**[00:47] ---**
This isn't important.
**[00:50] ---**
Anyway, that move you did
back there was so cool!
**[00:54] ---**
I used to take *naginata* lessons
when I was a kid,
**[00:58] ---**
and thanks to our AMAIM, I'm able to fly.
**[01:02] ---**
I was just a bit scared since
this was my first actual fight.
**[01:06] ---**
Your first?
**[01:08] ---**
I used to be Yatagarasu's helper
to support their movement.
**[01:13] ---**
But this one told me I'd be a good pilot.
**[01:16] ---**
I have good foresight.
**[01:18] ---**
I bet she was just your type.
**[01:20] ---**
I think you're right.
**[01:21] ---**
Sure, that accounts for
100% of my reasoning.
**[01:25] ---**
That was your *only* reason?!
**[01:26] ---**
Who cries just because
it's their first fight?
**[01:29] ---**
Tezuka!
**[01:30] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[01:31] ---**
Unlike you, my princess is
a delicate flower, you dumbass!
**[01:34] ---**
What?
**[01:35] ---**
Stop it, Nayuta.
**[01:37] ---**
Nayuta?
**[01:38] ---**
I thought you said your name's Angelo.
**[01:40] ---**
Nayuta is an alias I use to keep
a low profile. Angelo is my soul's name.
**[01:46] ---**
Do you get it?
**[01:47] ---**
Not at all...
**[01:48] ---**
I don't expect a simple AI to
comprehend my logic algorithm.
**[01:52] ---**
That's it, you're going down!
**[01:53] ---**
Bring it!
**[02:08] ---**
This is Captain Brad Watt and Warrant
Officer Raymond Hardy, reporting for duty.
**[02:31] ---**
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
**[03:48] ---**
I specifically called you here because
our intelligence team has located Ghost.
**[03:54] ---**
Take a look.
**[03:56] ---**
Past records prove that
**[03:57] ---**
Ghost is an unmanned unit
with an autonomous AI.
**[04:04] ---**
The Japanese terrorists seem to
also possess similar Als,
**[04:08] ---**
but their procurement method is unknown.
**[04:10] ---**
However, its combat ability
is extremely impressive.
**[04:14] ---**
No one, including the North American,
Asian, Eurasian, and Oceanian military,
**[04:19] ---**
has succeeded in the practical
applications of an autonomous AI.
**[04:24] ---**
To gain the upper hand, the top brass
wants to obtain it at any cost.
**[04:30] ---**
We need you to capture or destroy Ghost.
**[04:36] ---**
Destroy, sir?
**[04:38] ---**
To stop others from obtaining it instead.
**[04:42] ---**
Ghost is currently
hiding in Asian territory.
**[04:45] ---**
But the Asian military has their hands
full with the Oceanians, leaving us open.
**[04:50] ---**
This is our chance. Pick your own team
and figure out a plan. Got it?
**[04:57] ---**
Understood, sir!
**[05:00] ---**
It's been a while, Brad.
**[05:02] ---**
You should consider going home
during your next leave.
**[05:05] ---**
Your mother wants to see you.
**[05:07] ---**
I understand, Father.
**[05:13] ---**
You're going to cram every job there is
into your schedule, aren't you?
**[05:17] ---**
During your next leave.
**[05:19] ---**
By the time I'm done with one mission,
another takes its place.
**[05:24] ---**
It is what it is.
**[05:27] ---**
I still can't get used to this.
**[05:29] ---**
I haven't been to Tokyo in two years,
but it's changed so much.
**[05:36] ---**
Hey, since we're here,
why don't we stop by somewhere?
**[05:45] ---**
"Taiyaki"
**[05:45] ---**
"Taiyaki" A *taiyaki* shop?
**[05:47] ---**
"Taiyaki"
I guarantee you it's the best
in the country. It's delicious.
**[05:52] ---**
"Taiyaki" Thank you for waiting.
**[05:58] ---**
I think you gave me too much.
**[06:00] ---**
It's our way of saying thank you
to the North American Confederation.
**[06:06] ---**
This is nothing compared to the hard work
you do to restore our country.
**[06:13] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:15] ---**
"Restoration of Japan"
sounds nice, but in reality,
**[06:18] ---**
most of Tokyo,
including the land and buildings,
**[06:20] ---**
is under the control of
our military, government,
**[06:23] ---**
or companies associated to NAC.
**[06:28] ---**
Even Japan's defense system
is under our command.
**[06:32] ---**
Gaining back autonomy while its capital
is still under the controls of NAC...
**[06:38] ---**
It will slowly but surely result in
the colonization of Japan.
**[06:41] ---**
Captain, keep your voice down.
**[06:43] ---**
Do they not understand this,
or are they turning a blind eye?
**[06:48] ---**
It's even possible that Japan
would become a new state.
**[06:53] ---**
Are you against that?
**[06:57] ---**
I suppose, if it means not being able
to eat these treats anymore.
**[07:04] ---**
Yes, they're certainly delicious.
**[07:07] ---**
What did I tell you?
**[07:12] ---**
It's not that I don't want to go home.
**[07:16] ---**
As you're aware, I'm an adopted son
of Deputy Commander Spears.
**[07:21] ---**
There were other children
like me in his household.
**[07:25] ---**
But I was never able to
fit in like they were able to.
**[07:30] ---**
I've had many sleepless nights.
**[07:33] ---**
One day, Father took me to the base
**[07:38] ---**
and I saw an AMAIM for the first time.
**[07:42] ---**
I couldn't help but admire it.
**[07:45] ---**
I snuck into the cockpit
**[07:50] ---**
and was finally able to sleep soundly.
**[07:53] ---**
That was the first time since the day
I was adopted by the Spears family.
**[07:58] ---**
Is that why you prefer manned AMAIMs?
**[08:00] ---**
I'm not sure, but it certainly makes up
a core part of who I am as a soldier.
**[08:09] ---**
All right, let's get to work.
**[08:15] ---**
Why do we have to stay at a hotel?
**[08:19] ---**
We can't let my princess camp out.
Besides, this is perfect for her.
**[08:24] ---**
It's a waste of money.
**[08:25] ---**
I'm sorry...
**[08:26] ---**
Gashin, you should learn
a thing or two about empathy.
**[08:30] ---**
What?
**[08:32] ---**
Now that there are three AMAIMs, it's got
me wondering where they come from.
**[08:38] ---**
No other militaries
have anything like them.
**[08:41] ---**
A company called Brenson Corp provides
goods and services to the Resistance.
**[08:46] ---**
Apparently, their HQ's in Europe,
but who knows?
**[08:51] ---**
It's an off-the-record company.
**[08:54] ---**
Can they be trusted?
**[08:55] ---**
So far, we've never had any problems.
They've been extremely cooperative.
**[09:00] ---**
Is that where you two were developed, too?
**[09:02] ---**
No, we, I-LeS, were developed
by a different institution.
**[09:06] ---**
I-LeS?
**[09:07] ---**
Intelligence Learning System.
**[09:10] ---**
An AI system capable of
learning on its own.
**[09:13] ---**
"Autonomous AI" is close enough.
**[09:17] ---**
"MAILeS" is what Yatagarasu and
Brenson Corp call AMAIMs with I-LeS.
**[09:24] ---**
I see...
**[09:26] ---**
I took a look at Gai's source code,
and I saw a few similarities with ours.
**[09:32] ---**
Huh?
**[09:32] ---**
Each developer has their own
particular way of writing code,
**[09:35] ---**
so it's safe to say we were
created by the same person.
**[09:41] ---**
But I don't know why Gai was
discarded in Oceanian territory.
**[09:46] ---**
So you're like siblings?
**[09:47] ---**
Right you are.
**[09:49] ---**
That's so depressing.
**[09:50] ---**
--Hey, that's my line!
--Ow! You're dead meat!
**[09:53] ---**
Stop fighting in such a tight space.
**[09:56] ---**
Play nice.
**[09:57] ---**
Jeez...
**[10:00] ---**
I wonder if Gai wants to know
how it ended up in that place?
**[10:06] ---**
Not really. It's not like knowing
the reason will change anything.
**[10:11] ---**
Besides, I like the situation
I found myself in.
**[10:14] ---**
We're besties, after all!
**[10:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:28] ---**
First Lieutenant Roger Young
and Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis,
**[10:31] ---**
reporting for duty!
**[10:33] ---**
Thank you for coming.
**[10:37] ---**
Frankly, I'm not happy
with this mission, sir.
**[10:40] ---**
Second Lieutenant...
**[10:41] ---**
Ghost is dangerous, so why risk lives
by sending in manned AMAIMs?
**[10:47] ---**
Wouldn't unmanned AMAIMs be sufficient?
**[10:49] ---**
That would require an entire troop.
**[10:52] ---**
Even with their hands full,
the Asian military won't let us slip by.
**[10:58] ---**
That's why I picked just two of our
best pilots. Only a select few are going.
**[11:04] ---**
I can make it work!
**[11:05] ---**
Second Lieutenant!
**[11:08] ---**
I know you're good.
**[11:11] ---**
You won the Tactical Simulation
Match twice in a row, yes?
**[11:15] ---**
But you can prove your worth later.
**[11:19] ---**
Follow my lead on this one.
**[11:22] ---**
If you can't, there may never
be a next time.
**[11:28] ---**
This way. Let's start
our strategy meeting.
**[11:41] ---**
Let's go. We need to get to HQ by today.
**[11:44] ---**
Okay.
**[11:51] ---**
The interference around here is strong,
so the Asian military won't find us.
**[11:56] ---**
Are you two nervous?
**[11:59] ---**
Just a little.
**[12:00] ---**
Absolutely not.
**[12:03] ---**
That's reassuring, but keep your guard up.
We're up against a formidable enemy.
**[12:28] ---**
Our operatives will cut off the power
to the cave where Ghost is hiding.
**[12:34] ---**
At the same time, we'll blow up
all the exits except one.
**[12:40] ---**
It's time.
**[12:46] ---**
Without power, it'll eventually run out
of energy if it tries to wait us out.
**[12:52] ---**
It'll have no choice but to come out
from the only remaining exit.
**[12:57] ---**
Even if it knows it's a trap.
**[12:59] ---**
Do you think this'll work?
**[13:01] ---**
Yes. Ghost is extremely violent
and aggressive. It won't think twice.
**[13:11] ---**
We're in place.
**[13:13] ---**
Activate!
**[13:17] ---**
Dropping off the AMAIMs.
**[13:33] ---**
Nice to meet you, Ghost.
I'm here for your head.
**[13:40] ---**
Stick to the script! Fan out!
**[14:00] ---**
Its armor's tough!
**[14:08] ---**
Don't think we're playing dirty
by ganging up on you, Ghost.
**[14:11] ---**
Numbers have always been
important in wars.
**[14:16] ---**
It's hesitating.
**[14:18] ---**
It probably doesn't have much combat
experience against manned AMAIMs.
**[14:21] ---**
It hasn't formulated combat patterns
for this kind of battle.
**[14:24] ---**
Now's our chance!
**[14:26] ---**
Roger that!
**[14:37] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[14:49] ---**
Warrant Officer Hardy!
**[14:53] ---**
--What?!
--Second Lieutenant!
**[15:04] ---**
Launching seekers!
**[15:16] ---**
A jamming feature?!
**[15:22] ---**
Tech!
**[15:25] ---**
I'm going to borrow this!
**[15:40] ---**
What?!
**[15:49] ---**
Purge left arm!
**[15:54] ---**
First Lieutenant!
**[15:55] ---**
I'm fine!
**[16:05] ---**
Wh-What kind of robot is that?! Our intel
never said anything about that feature!
**[16:10] ---**
Even its movements are insane!
It pretended to target me, but--
**[16:15] ---**
It was actually trying to lure me out?
**[16:17] ---**
Is it already learning how to combat
people and play mind games?
**[16:24] ---**
If that's true,
this is going to be tricky.
**[16:33] ---**
What is it?
**[16:34] ---**
I don't know. I thought I heard something.
**[16:38] ---**
Me, too. Did anyone else hear it?
**[16:41] ---**
--No.
--Nope.
**[16:43] ---**
No.
**[16:44] ---**
I didn't detect any suspicious audio data.
**[16:47] ---**
Did we imagine it?
**[16:49] ---**
Okay, we'll switch at the next block.
**[16:52] ---**
R-Right.
**[17:00] ---**
This is crazy!
**[17:02] ---**
It's impervious to our attacks.
**[17:04] ---**
It's improving.
**[17:06] ---**
It's growing stronger
as time goes on... What a monster!
**[17:10] ---**
Let's go! We need to create
an opening for them!
**[17:18] ---**
No, don't get too close!
**[17:23] ---**
Did we do it?!
**[17:34] ---**
It highjacked them?!
**[17:35] ---**
Dammit, how is it doing that?!
**[17:37] ---**
Roger!
**[17:46] ---**
First Lieutenant!
**[17:54] ---**
Ray, Sofia, can you grant me
access to your AMAIMs?
**[18:01] ---**
It's not that I don't believe
in your ability, but...
**[18:05] ---**
I understand. It's just like old times.
**[18:10] ---**
We'll do as you say. I owe you my life.
**[18:16] ---**
Thank you. We're going all-in
to win this fight!
**[18:45] ---**
Amazing... He's evading the enemy's
attacks with such precision...
**[18:49] ---**
This is how he commands.
**[18:55] ---**
Depending on the situation,
the pilot's judgement is prioritized.
**[18:59] ---**
I bet the combat Als wouldn't
think to use guns like this.
**[19:12] ---**
Charge in!
**[19:13] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[19:24] ---**
You're mine!
**[19:27] ---**
Second Lieutenant!
**[19:28] ---**
What?! From the ground?!
**[19:34] ---**
Ghost!
**[20:00] ---**
Roger...
**[20:03] ---**
His AI was just barely functioning.
It was only enough for one shot, but...
**[20:08] ---**
I'm sorry, Roger. I may have
tarnished your death, but...
**[20:19] ---**
I swear on your honor...
**[20:25] ---**
...that I'm going to kill Ghost!
**[20:50] ---**
What?!
**[20:53] ---**
It's using the last aircraft!
**[21:05] ---**
Damn you, Ghost!
**[21:09] ---**
I promise to beat you
and capture you!
**[21:13] ---**
Remember my name, Brad Watt!
**[21:28] ---**
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Udou Kiryu,
the head of Yatagarasu.
**[21:37] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[21:38] ---**
Thank you for coming.
**[21:41] ---**
Gashin, Shion,
we appreciate your hard work.
**[21:43] ---**
It was no problem...
**[21:46] ---**
Sorry to immediately get down to business,
but I'd like you to meet someone.
**[21:52] ---**
He is our liaison to Brenson Corp.
**[21:58] ---**
I'm just a salesperson.
**[22:03] ---**
Hello, it's great to meet
the young pilots of Yatagarasu.
**[22:07] ---**
I'm German Gobert.
**[22:10] ---**
I'd like to establish
a good relationship with you.
**[22:18] ---**
Let's keep this business
of war thriving, shall we?
