**[00:03] Lewis**
* As a kid, I wanted to be a big musclebound*
* man in a skintight red or blue suit.*
**[00:11] Lewis**
* But I always told myself you only ever*
* saw those guys in comics and movies.*
**[00:17] Pilot**
*One minute.*
**[00:18] Lewis**
*Even so, I always wanted to be a hero.*
**[00:25] Lewis**
*A jet pilot?*
**[00:28] Lewis**
*A tank driver?*
**[00:30] Lewis**
*Or a special forces operator?*
**[00:34] Lewis**
*Nah. None of those.*
**[00:35] Pilot**
*Ten seconds.*
**[00:37] Ryoma**
*Listen up, guys.*
**[00:39] Ryoma**
* The outcome of this war depends on*
* how fast you do your jobs after landing.*
**[00:46] Lewis**
*Yes, this is what I wanted to be.*
**[00:51] Ryoma**
*See you on the beach.*
**[00:53] Lewis**
*A Titanostrider pilot.*
**[00:57] Pilot**
*Release.*
**[01:21] Satake**
*This is Daidara-1.*
**[01:23] Satake**
Daidara, Oni-O, and Katannaaba companies,
advance to the breakwater.
**[01:28] Hibiki**
Daidara-6, roger.
**[01:31] Isami**
Daidara-5, roger.
**[01:34] Honoka**
* Daidara-5, Sledgehammer,*
* Singer-11, evasive maneuvers.*
**[01:47] Hibiki**
He never fails to impress.
**[01:50] Honoka**
Daidara-5, be on alert for another barrage.
**[01:53] Isami**
*Roger.*
**[01:54] Control**
Ground unit Bravo is
requesting close air support.
**[01:55] Karen**
So he's the famous guy from the Japan SDF?
**[01:57] Honoka**
Yup. His reaction times are incredible.
**[01:58] Control**
Who's in the air and nearby?
**[01:59] Control**
Hog.
**[02:00] Control**
Hog, got it.
**[02:00] Honoka**
It feels like I'm running ops
for a jet fighter.
**[02:01] Control**
Hog flight, you have a new target.
**[02:03] Control**
Bearing zero-niner-zero.
**[02:05] Control**
Range: five miles.
**[02:05] Karen**
If yours is a jet pilot,
mine's a main battle tank.
**[02:07] Control**
TS Group. Cleared hot.
**[02:10] Karen**
*Titan-2, Mad-11.*
**[02:21] Lewis**
Thanks for the heads-up, Sledgehammer.
**[02:24] Karen**
See?
**[02:24] Control**
Good shot, Hog Flight.
**[02:25] Karen**
You're welcome, cowboy.
**[02:33] Karen**
*Titan-3, Mad-11.*
**[02:38] Lewis**
Hiro!
**[02:46] Lewis**
Damn it!
**[02:50] Lewis**
Wow!
**[02:51] Lewis**
He's moving so fast!
**[02:53] Lewis**
*Is he going into that mess alone?*
**[02:56] Satake**
* Daidara-5, you were only told*
* to advance to the breakwater.*
**[02:59] Isami**
Nobody ordered me *not* to go past it.
**[03:02] Satake**
* Be sure to put that in*
* your disciplinary report.*
**[03:05] Honoka**
* Daidara-5, Titan-2 is following you*
* at a distance of 100 meters.*
**[03:16] Ryoma**
*Titan-2! Smith, get your ass back here!*
**[03:19] Smith**
Yes, sir.
**[03:20] Ryoma**
* Don't just "yes, sir" me.*
* You're not listening, dipshit!*
**[03:22] Lewis**
He and I can end this
right here, Capt. Arakai.
**[03:26] Ryoma**
* You're insane.*
* You'll be totally surrounded.*
**[03:30] Lewis**
The JSDF went on ahead.
**[03:32] Lewis**
We can't just stay behind and—
**[03:34] AI**
*Warning! Warning! Warning!*
**[03:34] Karen**
*Titan-2, Singer-11.*
**[03:39] Lewis**
Damn it!
**[03:40] Karen**
*Titan-2, down.*
**[03:42] Hibiki**
Oh, dear. Not a good showing
from the US Armed Forces.
**[03:59] Plumman**
*All units! All units, cease fire!*
**[04:02] Plumman**
*The exercise is over! The exercise is over!*
**[04:05] Plumman**
*Engagement time: 10 minutes, 35 seconds.*
**[04:12] Plumman**
*Blue team wins.*
**[04:14] Plumman**
*I repeat! All units, cease fire!*
**[04:18] Lewis**
*Daidara-5, this is Titan-2.*
**[04:21] Lewis**
The name's Lt. Lewis Smith.
**[04:24] Isami**
JGSDF, Special Mechanized Infantry Group,
Second Lieutenant Isami Ao.
**[04:29] Lewis**
Your Type-24s are supposed
to be less capable than our M2s.
**[04:34] Lewis**
How did you modify yours?
**[04:37] Isami**
*I've got a good mechanic, that's all.*
**[04:39] Isami**
*And anyway, you were declared KIA.*
**[04:43] Isami**
The dead don't talk.
**[04:46] Ryoma**
*He's got you there, Smith.*
**[05:22] Miyu**
Um...
**[05:23] Lewis**
Don't mind me. Continue.
**[05:25] Miyu**
No, you're really bothering me.
**[05:28] Lewis**
He said his TS was good
'cause he had a good mechanic.
**[05:33] Miyu**
"He"? Oh, Lt. Ao?
**[05:37] Miyu**
He just made that up.
**[05:39] Miyu**
I didn't do anything unusual.
**[05:42] Lewis**
But this obsolete rust bucket
shouldn't be able to move like that.
**[05:46] Lewis**
No matter how good the pilot is, there's
a limit to what you can do with this thing.
**[05:50] Lewis**
Unless the mechanic's
given it a special overhaul—
**[05:53] Miyu**
Whaddaya mean "rust bucket"?
**[05:55] Miyu**
The second generation really
improved spec-wise, you know!
**[05:58] Miyu**
It uses power-by-wire,
so we could take out all the plumbing
**[06:01] Miyu**
and use the extra weight for armor!
**[06:03] Lewis**
Um, well...
**[06:05] Miyu**
There's more! The newest plasma
wrists that got added allow for—
**[06:08] Chief**
Hey, Miyu! I don't have
your maintenance report yet!
**[06:11] Miyu**
Oh, crap!
**[06:14] Miyu**
Just know that I didn't make any
special modifications to it, okay?
**[06:19] Miyu**
If you use it right, it's more than
capable of giving you whatever you need.
**[06:23] Miyu**
Goodbye.
**[06:24] Miyu**
Sorry, chief! I'm coming!
**[06:31] Lewis**
"If you use it right," huh?
**[06:38] Hibiki**
I see. Captain Satake's
being pretty harsh, huh?
**[06:42] Hibiki**
But we were only able to win
because you charged in alone, right?
**[06:47] Hibiki**
So why's he...
**[06:49] Isami**
No, Hibiki. There was another TS with me.
**[06:51] Hibiki**
Oh, you're right. There was.
**[06:54] Smith**
You sure you didn't drink too much, Ryoma?
**[06:54] Isami**
An M2 was closing in fast behind me.
**[06:55] Ryoma**
Nah, if anything, I didn't drink enough.
**[06:57] Isami**
The autonomous unit's cannon got him,
but it could just as easily have been me.
**[07:02] Lewis**
Hey, you two.
**[07:03] Sign**
Tricolor
**[07:04] Sign**
Tricolor
**[07:04] Lewis**
Enjoying your night in Waikiki?
**[07:07] Lewis**
Gimme a Kona beer.
**[07:09] Isami**
I guess.
**[07:17] Lewis**
That's great.
**[07:19] Lewis**
Let me join you.
**[07:21] Lewis**
You get a pay cut for violating orders?
**[07:24] Isami**
For three months.
**[07:26] Lewis**
Okay!
**[07:27] Lewis**
Nice work, bro!
**[07:29] Lewis**
I'm stuck on toilet duty for three months.
**[07:38] Lewis**
I think you made the right call.
**[07:42] Lewis**
If you'd waited for your unit,
**[07:44] Lewis**
you would've given the enemy time
to regroup and come up with a plan.
**[07:47] Lewis**
It would've been a bigger
body count in the end.
**[07:50] Lewis**
In a real war, you'd be a hero.
**[07:53] Lewis**
But you need a lot of bravery and
skill to charge into battle alone.
**[07:59] Lewis**
I'm honestly impressed.
**[08:01] Isami**
Thanks.
**[08:04] Lewis**
And so, Isami Ao, I issue you a challenge.
**[08:08] Lewis**
Tomorrow's exercise is mainly with TSes.
**[08:10] Lewis**
It's one of the rare times
America and Japan are on different sides.
**[08:15] Isami**
And you want a one-on-one?
**[08:17] Lewis**
That's right!
**[08:18] Lewis**
It might be tough if it turns into
a big, complicated fight, though.
**[08:21] Lewis**
Or do you not have the courage?
**[08:27] Isami**
Fine. Assuming you don't die
before I reach you, I'm in.
**[08:34] Lewis**
Listen to you.
**[08:36] Lewis**
All right, see you on the training grounds,
Second Lieutenant Isami Ao.
**[08:43] Hibiki**
He's got you locked on.
**[08:45] Isami**
What's his name?
**[08:48] Hibiki**
You two introduced yourselves
to each other, right?
**[09:06] King**
*Attention, all participants in ADRIMPAC.*
**[09:09] King**
*This is joint exercise commander...*
**[09:11] King**
Hal King speaking.
**[09:13] King**
The main participants in today's exercise
are the Titanostrider ground units.
**[09:17] King**
* However, those of you in naval and air units*
* are also expected to give it your all.*
**[09:22] King**
* You will need to work together*
* even more closely than usual.*
**[09:26] King**
* I want to see a solid combined arms*
* effort from the ground, air,*
**[09:29] King**
* and naval forces of every*
* country involved. That is all.*
**[09:45] News**
* The ADRIMPAC military exercises,*
* which began in Hawaii yesterday,*
**[09:50] News**
*involve large numbers of TSes...*
**[09:51] News**
...and are believed to be an attempt to
better integrate TSes into each nation's...
**[09:56] News**
* ...combat doctrine. The result of these*
* exercises will be a massive leap forward*
**[09:57] Commanders**
I only ever thought I'd see something
like this in a cartoon or a movie.
**[10:00] News**
*in technology and military strength.*
**[10:02] Commanders**
I heard there's so many TS volunteers lately,
they can't find enough jet pilots.
**[10:08] Commanders**
Who knows what drives those muscleheads?
You and me are much better off
**[10:11] Commanders**
sitting in an air-conditioned room,
staring at monitors.
**[10:14] Radar**
Signal detected in Sector 1!
**[10:16] Radar**
Unidentified object incoming
from directly overhead!
**[10:19] Radar**
Check with NASA and the Space Force!
**[10:22] Radar**
No match! It's not something
launched from the surface.
**[10:25] Radar**
The unidentified object
is over 10 kilometers long!
**[10:29] Radar**
New signals detected!
**[10:30] Radar**
Two, three...
**[10:32] Radar**
There's more and more of them!
**[10:33] Radar**
They've separated from the larger object and
are changing course to land on the surface!
**[10:37] Radar**
Five minutes until they touch down!
**[10:39] Radar**
Why didn't we detect them sooner?
**[11:06] Hiro**
A mechanical problem?
**[11:09] Hibiki**
Isami! Look!
**[11:13] Comms**
Admiral! Emergency message from
Indo-Pacific Command in Oahu!
**[11:17] King**
What?
**[11:18] Men**
Hey, look.
**[11:20] Men**
What *is* that?
**[11:37] Captain**
Get us upright!
**[11:54] King**
All ships' crews to battle stations!
**[11:56] King**
Launch your planes immediately!
**[11:58] Comms**
Yes, admiral!
**[12:00] Captain**
What's Command saying?
**[12:01] Comms**
We got word they were
attacked, then nothing.
**[12:03] Comms**
Tell Hickam to get every
interceptor into the air,
**[12:06] Comms**
while they can still use their runways.
**[12:08] King**
A force of this size with
no known nationality...
**[12:11] King**
Where could it have come from?
**[12:19] Pilot**
Our guns aren't working! What's going on?
**[12:21] Pilot**
I'm requesting TS support!
**[12:23] Pilot**
I repeat! I'm requesting...
**[12:34] Captain**
* Hickam control tower!*
* Come in, Hickam control tower!*
**[12:37] Captain**
*Damn! We lost the tower! What do we do?*
**[12:38] Control**
Our fighters in the air
are asking for air control!
**[12:41] Karen**
We have multiple surface targets at
vector 2-3-0, 15 miles west from Bullseye.
**[12:41] Control**
We've lost our AWACS!
They'll have to figure it out on their own!
**[12:45] Karen**
They're moving at 30 miles per hour.
**[12:45] Control**
With so many planes in the sky,
we can't launch any anti-surface attacks!
**[12:48] Honoka**
Daidara company, come in!
I repeat! Come in!
**[12:51] Honoka**
Come in!
**[12:51] Newscaster**
* We're receiving reports of mass casualties*
* in Washington, D.C., New York,*
**[12:55] Newscaster**
*and Los Angeles, California.*
**[12:58] Newscaster**
* The president has declared*
* a state of emergency.*
**[13:01] Newscaster**
* It is still not clear where*
* this attack is coming from.*
**[13:05] Satake**
*OP, this is Daidara-1. Do you read me?*
**[13:09] Satake**
OP, this is Daidara-1. Do you read me?
**[13:11] Wireless**
*We can't hold this position!*
**[13:12] Wireless**
*Retreat! Retreat!*
**[13:13] Wireless**
*What the hell is that?*
**[13:14] Hibiki**
What are they all fighting?
**[13:17] Ryoma**
*Daidara-1, this is Titan-1.*
**[13:20] Ryoma**
* The base is clearly under attack.*
* We all need to head there and join the fight.*
**[13:26] Satake**
*Titan-1, this is Daidara-1. Copy.*
**[13:28] Satake**
All units, we will now advance
towards Wheeler Airfield.
**[13:31] All**
*Roger!*
**[13:32] Hibiki**
No way. Is this a real battle?
**[13:47] Lewis**
* Daidara company, Titan-2,*
* Titan company will take the lead.*
**[13:51] Satake**
Understood. You have our gratitude.
**[13:53] Wireless**
* The enemy has shields.*
* Our attacks do nothing!*
**[13:55] Wireless**
*Neither HE nor AP rounds work!*
**[13:55] Wireless**
* Watch out for those weird lasers!*
* They rip right through your composite armor!*
**[13:57] Wireless**
*We can't hold position!*
**[13:59] Wireless**
*Retreat! Retreat!*
**[14:00] Ryoma**
All units, Master Arm, on.
**[14:03] Lewis**
Roger. Master Arm, on.
**[14:08] Satake**
*All Daidara units, safeties off.*
**[14:10] All**
*Roger!*
**[14:12] Isami**
Roger.
**[14:13] Isami**
Safety off.
**[14:16] Isami**
Real bullets...
**[14:36] Soldier**
Medic!
**[14:37] Nina**
Give him morphine.
We've already infused two bags of saline.
**[14:41] Soldier**
Hey, doc.
**[14:43] Nina**
Hey, you'll be fine. I'm just...
**[14:45] Soldier**
Listen, doc. Am I gonna survive?
**[14:49] Soldier**
Mike died, and...
**[14:53] Nina**
Yeah, you'll be fine. Just hang in there.
**[15:14] Joshua**
Lt. Nina!
**[15:21] Lewis**
*Okay!*
**[15:22] Lewis**
We can hurt 'em up close.
**[15:24] Lewis**
But what are these things?
**[15:26] Ryoma**
*All units! Weapons free!*
**[15:28] Lewis**
Roger! Going hot!
**[15:30] Hiro**
*Roger! Going hot!*
**[15:31] Ryoma**
* Focus your fire on one spot! See if you*
* can push through their damned shields!*
**[15:42] Satake**
*Where are the mechanics?*
**[15:44] Hibiki**
*I'm told they've all evacuated!*
**[15:47] Plumman**
*Lt. Colonel Satake!*
**[15:49] Satake**
* Sergeant Major Plumman.*
* Who's in charge here?*
**[15:52] Plumman**
The TS Commanders
from every nation are KIA.
**[15:57] Plumman**
You're the highest-ranking officer here, sir!
**[16:00] Satake**
* Sergeant Major, take the casualties*
* that can move and get out of here.*
**[16:04] Plumman**
Sir!
**[16:06] Hibiki**
The captain knows him?
**[16:08] Satake**
* All Daidara units, we will support*
* the evacuation of the wounded.*
**[16:11] Satake**
*You may fire at will.*
**[16:13] Hibiki**
Daidara-1, this is 6!
**[16:15] Hibiki**
What's our target?
**[16:16] Satake**
*Anything that tries to attack us.*
**[16:21] Isami**
We have to fight *them?*
**[16:22] Satake**
*I don't want any more casualties!*
**[16:24] Satake**
* Provide support while we link up with*
* Titan company, then we retreat, too.*
**[16:28] All**
*Roger!*
**[16:29] Satake**
*Do you copy, 5?*
**[16:31] Satake**
*Daidara-5!*
**[16:33] Isami**
This is 5. Copy.
**[16:37] Voice**
*Launching missiles.*
**[16:44] Satake**
* You don't need to try to defeat them!*
* Just don't give them time to fire!*
**[16:48] All**
*Roger!*
**[16:49] Isami**
Roger.
**[16:52] Satake**
We can't hold them back.
**[16:56] Lewis**
Huh. So he can play well with a group.
**[17:00] Ryoma**
*Smith, you know what to do, right?*
**[17:02] Lewis**
Yeah.
**[17:02] Lewis**
* We'll protect the wounded*
* and get out of here.*
**[17:05] Ryoma**
That's right.
**[17:06] Ryoma**
We'll save as many as we can—
**[17:07] Voice**
*Warning! Warning!*
**[17:09] Lewis**
Ryoma!
**[17:33] Lewis**
What *is* that thing? It's huge.
**[17:37] Satake**
*All units retreat.*
**[17:40] Satake**
*Get as far from the base as you can.*
**[17:44] Hibiki**
Isami, just forget me.
**[17:46] Hibiki**
They're going to fire again.
Just get out of here.
**[17:50] Satake**
*You are ordered to retreat, Lt. Ao!*
**[17:52] Isami**
Lt. Rio is trapped!
**[17:55] Hibiki**
Just go! Isami, go!
**[17:57] Hibiki**
You need to hurry.
**[18:00] Hibiki**
Isami!
**[18:01] Hibiki**
Get out of here!
**[18:03] Hibiki**
Isami!
**[18:06] Satake**
*That's an order.*
**[18:07] Satake**
It's the last order I'll ever give,
so follow it, damn it!
**[18:10] Hibiki**
Run, Isami!
**[18:36] Bravern**
*The wait's over, Isami.*
**[18:40] Bravern**
*I came to save you.*
**[18:45] Bravern**
*Now, climb inside me.*
**[18:52] Bravern**
*Who else could I be talking to?*
**[18:54] Bravern**
*There's no reason to hesitate.*
**[19:01] Bravern**
*Climb inside...*
**[19:03] Bravern**
*Climb inside me right now!*
**[19:16] Lewis**
What?
**[19:18] Lewis**
Lt. Ao?
**[19:28] Bravern**
*No!*
**[19:29] Bravern**
*It's too soon for you to use that.*
**[19:42] Bravern**
*Now, let's go!*
**[19:53] Bravern**
*Jump!*
**[20:15] Isami**
What's my equipment? Don't I have
anything that can intercept them?!
**[20:19] Bravern**
*Burn Blade!*
**[20:25] Bravern**
*Right!*
**[20:28] Bravern**
*Zu-ba-ba Burn!*
**[20:30] Bravern**
*Zu-ba-ba-ba-ba Burn!*
**[20:33] Isami**
What the hell is that song that's playing?!
**[20:42] Bravern**
*Burn Blade! Blaze up!*
**[20:49] Bravern**
* Now, shout it with me!*
* The name of our special attack!*
**[20:53] Isami**
Wait, special—
**[20:56] Brave**
*Courage Single Blade-Style Special Attack!*
**[20:59] Isami**
Courage Single Blade-Style...
**[21:01] Bravern**
*Brave Slash!*
**[21:05] Bravern**
*Bravern!*
**[21:30] Lewis**
*Like I said, I always wanted to be a hero.*
**[21:37] Lewis**
* Not a jet pilot, or a helicopter*
* pilot, or a tank driver,*
**[21:41] Lewis**
*or even a Titanostrider pilot.*
**[21:45] Lewis**
*A real hero.*
**[21:49] Lewis**
*An honest-to-goodness hero.*
**[21:53] Lewis**
*Like him.*
**[21:56] Bravern**
*Lookin' forward to working with you, Isami.*
**[22:01] Isami**
How do you know my name?
**[22:05] Bravern**
*Oh, right. I haven't told you my name yet.*
**[22:10] Isami**
