**[00:26] ---**
Doctor Fermi...
**[00:33] ---**
What's he doing here?
**[00:37] ---**
Isn't that...
**[00:47] ---**
*Beat your wings*
**[00:49] ---**
* See the light of hope*
* in the sky you have yet to see*
**[00:54] ---**
* And don't ever give in*
* to the weight of sorrow*
**[00:57] ---**
*Echo unto eternity, UNISONIA*
**[01:07] ---**
*That world you see before your eyes*
**[01:12] ---**
*What colors is it made up of?*
**[01:17] ---**
*Measure feeling match*
**[01:20] ---**
*The pain of loss isn't something*
**[01:23] ---**
*You want to get used to, and yet*
**[01:25] ---**
* Even on a night like this,*
* the stars are beautiful*
**[01:31] ---**
* Like a tarnished coin spilling*
* from the palm of your hand*
**[01:37] ---**
*Can't go back*
**[01:39] ---**
*Want to go home*
**[01:40] ---**
*The two, back-to-back*
**[01:43] ---**
*Break through*
**[01:45] ---**
* Turning unfading emotions*
* into a lasting bond*
**[01:50] ---**
*Like painting over a colorless world*
**[01:53] ---**
*Let this sympathy reach*
**[01:56] ---**
*Growing the wing*
**[01:58] ---**
* Let's build the*
* future that we envision*
**[02:02] ---**
*We can change even fate*
**[02:06] ---**
*Transcending time, UNISONIA*
**[02:14] ---**
"Hawaii Base"
**[02:17] ---**
Weinberg. Watase. You two ensigns,
**[02:17] ---**
"Father and Child"
**[02:19] ---**
as well as Petty Officer Nasu,
**[02:21] ---**
will be granted half-watch shore leave.
**[02:21] ---**
as well as Petty Officer Nasu,
**[02:23] ---**
You three are to remain
together as much as possible.
**[02:26] ---**
That is all.
**[02:27] ---**
Yes, ma'am.
**[02:28] ---**
Come on, Doctor Fermi
hates doom and gloom.
**[02:31] ---**
You know it, too, Mayu.
**[02:33] ---**
Yes...
**[02:35] ---**
Okay, then, here's my shopping list.
**[02:37] ---**
What? You, too, Elvira?
**[02:40] ---**
What do you mean "too"?
**[02:44] ---**
I also got one from Anessa.
**[02:47] ---**
I see.
**[02:48] ---**
That's long.
**[02:51] ---**
Say, that was your old man
at the church earlier, right?
**[02:57] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:58] ---**
Was it okay? That you
didn't go say hi or anything?
**[03:01] ---**
It's no big deal. It's fine.
**[03:04] ---**
I heard from Fiona.
**[03:05] ---**
That things aren't so hot
between you and your old man?
**[03:10] ---**
It's none of your business, is it?
**[03:12] ---**
But I mean...
**[03:13] ---**
I am so sorry to keep you waiting!
**[03:19] ---**
I had a hard time deciding what to wear.
**[03:22] ---**
We haven't been waiting at all.
Hurry up and get in.
**[03:24] ---**
Oh, all right.
**[03:26] ---**
A change of outfit makes
you look so different than normal.
**[03:29] ---**
I'm not used to wearing this,
so I wasn't sure about it...
**[03:33] ---**
It looks good on her, doesn't it?
**[03:36] ---**
Sure.
**[03:36] ---**
Don't give such a noncommittal response.
**[03:38] ---**
Nav, take us to Ala Moana.
**[03:40] ---**
Hey, don't ignore me!
**[03:47] ---**
A military exercise?
**[03:49] ---**
The experience of having
**[03:51] ---**
the Coupling System
operating within a task fleet
**[03:54] ---**
will be recorded
in a computer simulation.
**[03:57] ---**
Then, has Joint Command Headquarters
**[03:59] ---**
given their stamp of approval
on its practical application?
**[04:01] ---**
"Rear Admiral Green"
**[04:01] ---**
"1st Navy Special Squadron Commander"
**[04:01] ---**
They're all but there, I'd say.
**[04:04] ---**
The complacent cagey old bastards back home
**[04:08] ---**
are being indecisive and holding
back from taking that final step.
**[04:11] ---**
Then, this military exercise is also...?
**[04:14] ---**
That's right.
**[04:16] ---**
I want you to get them all fired up.
**[04:19] ---**
Especially with the pressure coming
from political and financial circles
**[04:21] ---**
starting to grow more overt.
**[04:24] ---**
We shall fight furiously so as
to live up to your expectations.
**[04:29] ---**
Aw, man, it would've
been nice to go shopping.
**[04:33] ---**
So you're also in
the group staying behind.
**[04:36] ---**
Fromm!
**[04:37] ---**
Here we are in Hawaii, too.
It's too bad, isn't it?
**[04:39] ---**
No way, I'm totally okay with it!
**[04:41] ---**
I asked Mayuka to do my shopping for me.
**[04:44] ---**
Mind if I sit next to you?
**[04:46] ---**
Sure.
**[04:47] ---**
Let's eat together.
**[04:51] ---**
That should do it for Anessa's cosmetics.
**[04:55] ---**
That leaves...
**[04:56] ---**
Say, Dio.
**[04:58] ---**
What is it?
**[04:58] ---**
Want me to try talking
to your old man for you?
**[05:01] ---**
You?! What kind of idiotic talk is this?
**[05:04] ---**
Because, I mean,
he won't listen to you, right?
**[05:07] ---**
Like there's any way he'd
listen to what you have to say!
**[05:10] ---**
But at this rate,
don't you feel bad for Fiona?
**[05:14] ---**
Think of how much she's
worrying about you and your old man.
**[05:17] ---**
I told you that it was
none of your business, didn't I?
**[05:20] ---**
But you...
**[05:21] ---**
Shut up! No more!
**[05:22] ---**
Please stop this, both of you.
**[05:28] ---**
Nav, stop the car.
**[05:32] ---**
H-Hey, what are you doing?
**[05:34] ---**
Wait, Dio?
**[05:35] ---**
I'm going off on my own.
**[05:37] ---**
They told us to stick together, remember?
**[05:39] ---**
"As much as possible," she said.
**[05:40] ---**
Dio!
Hey, come back!
**[05:42] ---**
Dio! Hey!
**[05:44] ---**
Hey!
**[05:46] ---**
The hell is his problem?
**[05:47] ---**
Let's go, Mayuka.
**[05:50] ---**
What? But...
**[05:51] ---**
It's fine. Forget that guy.
**[06:02] ---**
The things you ought to be doing
**[06:04] ---**
should not include frittering
your time away here.
**[06:07] ---**
Even if someone were to blame you,
**[06:10] ---**
I forgive you.
**[06:14] ---**
Could it be that
you are Young Master Dio?
**[06:18] ---**
It is you!
**[06:20] ---**
Paul...
**[06:30] ---**
See, my old man was a firefighter.
**[06:35] ---**
He was a passionate guy
with a strong sense of justice.
**[06:39] ---**
He often told me that it was
the man's job to protect his family.
**[06:45] ---**
So when my old man passed away, I thought,
**[06:48] ---**
from now on, I'm going
to protect my family on my own.
**[06:54] ---**
But you know...
**[06:55] ---**
I got into middle school,
joined the basketball team and stuff,
**[06:58] ---**
and forgot about
ever having those thoughts.
**[07:01] ---**
By the time I'd realized,
it was already...
**[07:04] ---**
It's not like I could've done anything,
**[07:06] ---**
even though I talk
about protecting my family, but...
**[07:09] ---**
If you're both alive
and living in the same era,
**[07:12] ---**
it's a shame to be on bad terms...
**[07:15] ---**
Aoba...
**[07:21] ---**
Isn't that...
**[07:24] ---**
Fiona!
**[07:26] ---**
Aoba!
**[07:31] ---**
What did you want to talk about?
**[07:33] ---**
Considering how Zogilia approached
their last engagement with us,
**[07:36] ---**
I really have to think that
Hahn is seriously becoming involved.
**[07:41] ---**
Hahn?
**[07:42] ---**
You mean, your colleague from
the lab that Doctor Fermi mentioned?
**[07:46] ---**
Yes.
**[07:48] ---**
I suspect he's in a position to have
a say in detailed tactical matters.
**[07:53] ---**
In which case...
**[07:55] ---**
By about our next encounter,
things will get dicey...
**[07:57] ---**
Yes.
**[07:59] ---**
What kind of man is he?
**[08:00] ---**
He's incredibly good at what he does.
**[08:03] ---**
I almost wish I didn't
remember just how good.
**[08:07] ---**
Elvira?
**[08:08] ---**
Oh, she was an excellent engineer.
**[08:11] ---**
Second to me, that is.
**[08:13] ---**
"Wilhelm Hahn"
**[08:13] ---**
"Zogilian Science Academy Test Laboratory 2 Director"
**[08:13] ---**
The magic
key that she created is the cockpit.
**[08:17] ---**
All you have to do is bring that back.
**[08:19] ---**
Because as far as the Valiancer frame goes,
**[08:21] ---**
ours is superior in terms of performance.
**[08:25] ---**
"Vajra"
"Heavy Attack Cruiser Aeroship"
**[08:28] ---**
She's a girl of age that
even I found to be a handful
**[08:32] ---**
and you've tamed her quite nicely.
**[08:33] ---**
"Lieutenant Commander Ryazan"
**[08:34] ---**
You really are something
else, Commander Gallant.
**[08:37] ---**
Her hard work has
been of great help to me.
**[08:41] ---**
Lieutenant Commander Ryazan,
I am most happy to see you looking well.
**[08:44] ---**
And you, Commander,
your skin tone is looking awfully fine.
**[08:47] ---**
You hardly look like the officer
**[08:49] ---**
who failed to safeguard the
Protection Division Commander.
**[08:52] ---**
As scathing as ever.
**[08:57] ---**
Those Confederation Valiancers?
**[09:00] ---**
Yes, we'll infiltrate the
Hawaii Base and seize them.
**[09:04] ---**
Is it possible?
**[09:05] ---**
Of course. That's what we're here for.
**[09:08] ---**
I see.
**[09:10] ---**
How would you like something to drink?
**[09:13] ---**
Milk? Or grape juice?
**[09:16] ---**
Stop that. I'm not a child anymore.
**[09:19] ---**
That is so true.
**[09:21] ---**
You've become all grown up in
the short while we haven't seen you.
**[09:24] ---**
What kind of stupid thing to say is that?
**[09:29] ---**
L-Lieutenant Commander!
**[09:30] ---**
I-I was joking!
**[09:32] ---**
You're going naked
on this upcoming operation.
**[09:35] ---**
Oh, come on!
**[09:36] ---**
Ensign.
**[09:37] ---**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[09:39] ---**
You will be participating in
this operation as well.
**[09:41] ---**
What?
**[09:42] ---**
Commander Alfried suggested it.
**[09:45] ---**
It seems you've laid your hands
**[09:46] ---**
on the interface of one
of these new Valiancers.
**[09:49] ---**
You will be there to help the
operation go smoothly. Understood?
**[09:53] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[09:57] ---**
I hear you're especially
gung-ho about getting that white one,
**[10:01] ---**
so the Commander must have
seen fit to give you this opportunity.
**[10:03] ---**
Lieutenant Commander,
please allow me to participate as well.
**[10:07] ---**
You, too, Lieutenant Junior Grade Gerafil?
**[10:08] ---**
It is my understanding
**[10:09] ---**
that it takes a pair of the new
Valiancers to be an operational unit.
**[10:12] ---**
Having been on a lot of missions with her,
**[10:14] ---**
I believe I would be a
good fit to accompany her.
**[10:16] ---**
Hm, and I could entrust
you to keep Hina safe as well...
**[10:21] ---**
I'll be counting on you, Bizon.
**[10:23] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:25] ---**
I'll propose your inclusion
to the Commander.
**[10:29] ---**
Get one complete outfit for each of them.
**[10:30] ---**
Roger.
**[10:31] ---**
And also, a teddy bear for Hina.
**[10:42] ---**
Wow, so you guys have
a vacation home over here.
**[10:45] ---**
Yes. I had no idea
all of you were here as well.
**[10:49] ---**
How is Dio doing?
**[10:51] ---**
What?
**[10:51] ---**
Oh... Oh, he's doing well.
**[10:54] ---**
I see.
**[11:00] ---**
With your father?
**[11:03] ---**
Yes.
**[11:04] ---**
We were in the middle of lunch, but...
**[11:07] ---**
I have been telling my father that
he should have a good long talk with Dio,
**[11:13] ---**
but he was having none of it...
**[11:16] ---**
It made me so unbearably sad...
**[11:19] ---**
So you ended up leaving the
restaurant without even meaning to.
**[11:22] ---**
Yes.
**[11:23] ---**
I swear! Father and
son are both so stubborn!
**[11:26] ---**
Aoba!
**[11:27] ---**
Did something happen with Dio?
**[11:29] ---**
What? Oh, no, nothing happened.
**[11:33] ---**
All right! Let's go back!
**[11:34] ---**
What?
**[11:35] ---**
I'll talk to your old man, after all.
**[11:37] ---**
I'll give it to him good!
**[11:39] ---**
What?!
**[11:40] ---**
Uh, um, I don't think that will work.
**[11:42] ---**
Why not?
**[11:43] ---**
I hardly think my father will listen
to someone he has only just met
**[11:47] ---**
and besides, I don't even know
if he'll see you based on my word...
**[11:51] ---**
But I mean...
**[11:52] ---**
I appreciate the thought, but I'm sorry.
**[11:58] ---**
Then, do you want to come shopping
with us to take your mind off things?
**[12:02] ---**
What? You wouldn't mind my coming along?
**[12:06] ---**
Of course not.
**[12:07] ---**
But aren't you in the middle of a date?
**[12:09] ---**
What?
**[12:10] ---**
No, no, it's nothing like that at all.
**[12:13] ---**
Right?
**[12:14] ---**
What?
**[12:15] ---**
R-Right.
**[12:16] ---**
Then I would love to!
**[12:17] ---**
Okay, it's settled!
**[12:19] ---**
On a date...
**[12:19] ---**
Is there anywhere you want to go?
**[12:20] ---**
Let me think...
**[12:23] ---**
You came along at the perfect time.
**[12:26] ---**
Mistress Fiona was
here as well just earlier, but...
**[12:29] ---**
Fiona was?
**[12:33] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[12:46] ---**
But at this rate,
don't you feel bad for Fiona?
**[13:58] ---**
I've heard that you live
next to each other?
**[14:00] ---**
They moved in next door
when I was about ten years old.
**[14:03] ---**
Back then, I'd never even dreamed
**[14:05] ---**
that the brave and famous
Lieutenant Commander Ryazan
**[14:07] ---**
would move in next door.
**[14:09] ---**
Come to think of it,
where were you before you moved there?
**[14:12] ---**
Hm? Well, various places.
**[14:15] ---**
With Hina?
**[14:17] ---**
That would be the case.
**[14:19] ---**
Come to think of it,
until we moved in next to Bizon, I...
**[14:24] ---**
Here we are! I've brought it!
**[14:27] ---**
I've been waiting for this!
**[14:29] ---**
All right! Pass out the glasses.
**[14:34] ---**
A toast to the success of our operation
**[14:36] ---**
and ever greater prosperity
for our motherland.
**[14:39] ---**
Here you are.
**[14:41] ---**
I'm still...
**[14:42] ---**
You're all grown up, right?
**[14:46] ---**
To the goddess of luck in battle.
**[14:49] ---**
Slava Zogilia!
**[14:51] ---**
Slava Zogilia!
**[15:02] ---**
Grape juice?!
**[15:25] ---**
You were of assistance to us in Chitose.
**[15:28] ---**
My thanks.
**[15:29] ---**
Please. It was my duty.
**[15:35] ---**
Why were you at Doctor Fermi's funeral?
**[15:38] ---**
I was well acquainted with the Doctor.
**[15:41] ---**
My company was one
**[15:43] ---**
that had the privilege of supporting
his research in no small way.
**[15:47] ---**
I didn't know.
**[15:49] ---**
Thanks to that, all kinds
of information comes my way...
**[15:52] ---**
It seems you're paired
up with quite a unique Buddy.
**[15:56] ---**
Someone named Aoba Watase, is it?
**[15:59] ---**
Yes.
**[16:01] ---**
I hear that when you
conduct Couplings with him,
**[16:03] ---**
it causes your Emphatier
Waveform to diverge
**[16:05] ---**
and makes you unable to conduct
Couplings with other Couplers.
**[16:09] ---**
If I go through training again,
**[16:11] ---**
there is the possibility that it
will restore my original waveform.
**[16:14] ---**
Is that confirmed?
**[16:16] ---**
No.
**[16:20] ---**
What did you say
when you joined the military?
**[16:24] ---**
That I wanted to protect
our family... to protect everyone.
**[16:27] ---**
Is becoming a Coupler
who cannot choose his Buddy
**[16:31] ---**
your idea of being a soldier?
**[16:35] ---**
This man was a
civilian until just recently.
**[16:38] ---**
He'll likely be shot down in no time.
**[16:41] ---**
Once that happens, all that
will be left is one good-for-nothing.
**[16:45] ---**
One soldier, who couldn't
even protect his family.
**[16:50] ---**
It's still not too late.
**[16:52] ---**
Quit the military.
**[16:54] ---**
Going to the front line isn't the
only way to protect your country.
**[17:00] ---**
That guy...
**[17:02] ---**
is not a man who
will be shot down so easily.
**[17:04] ---**
How can you possibly assert that?!
**[17:06] ---**
This is war!
**[17:08] ---**
You know well how unforgiving it is!
**[17:11] ---**
It's true that he's lacking
in resolve as a soldier
**[17:16] ---**
and he's the sort of person who
easily makes contact with the enemy...
**[17:20] ---**
And he's stupid and
insensitive and irresponsible,
**[17:24] ---**
and an annoying busybody
**[17:27] ---**
who doesn't think twice about
getting personal with you, but...
**[17:33] ---**
But him...
**[17:34] ---**
Knowing him...
**[17:35] ---**
What are you saying
that man is capable of?!
**[17:38] ---**
Your words are nothing more than
an admission of your own inadequacy!
**[17:44] ---**
That's enough. I understand.
**[17:47] ---**
Go back.
**[17:54] ---**
I'm glad that we
were able to talk today.
**[17:57] ---**
Your show of concern for me made me happy.
**[18:02] ---**
Please excuse me now.
**[18:09] ---**
You've changed.
**[18:12] ---**
Come home once in a while.
**[18:15] ---**
It'll make Fiona happy.
**[18:18] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[18:25] ---**
Man, that sure was fun!
**[18:28] ---**
Yes, it was!
**[18:29] ---**
Feel better?
**[18:31] ---**
Yes.
**[18:31] ---**
Then, shall we head back soon?
**[18:34] ---**
What?
**[18:35] ---**
Your father must be worried, right?
**[18:37] ---**
I think it'd be better
if you went back now.
**[18:40] ---**
Don't worry! I won't let your
old man say one word against you!
**[18:44] ---**
Aoba!
**[18:47] ---**
You're right. I'll go back.
**[18:53] ---**
Is it this restaurant?
**[18:54] ---**
Yes.
**[18:56] ---**
Isn't this right around where Dio got off?
**[19:00] ---**
What? He was with you?
**[19:02] ---**
H-He was. I'm sorry we didn't tell you.
**[19:06] ---**
Oh, it's Dio.
**[19:10] ---**
So he went to eat.
**[19:13] ---**
Don't tell me!
**[19:15] ---**
Fiona?
**[19:17] ---**
What are you doing with Aoba and her?
**[19:19] ---**
I ran into them and they
invited me to go shopping with them.
**[19:22] ---**
Were you eating here, Dio?
**[19:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:25] ---**
By any chance...
**[19:28] ---**
With Dad.
**[19:29] ---**
What?
**[19:29] ---**
You did!
**[19:38] ---**
What's with him? It looks like he
was able to have a proper conversation.
**[19:42] ---**
Look what he can do
when he puts his mind to it.
**[19:44] ---**
I'm sure your words pushed
him in the right direction.
**[19:49] ---**
After he was so against it, too.
He's so not honest with himself.
**[20:06] ---**
Aoba.
**[20:09] ---**
Do you want to go back?
**[20:12] ---**
To your own time?
**[20:13] ---**
What?
**[20:15] ---**
Will this time not do?
**[20:22] ---**
I'm sorry. I don't know.
**[20:25] ---**
I see.
**[20:28] ---**
Petty Officer Nasu.
**[20:30] ---**
Thank you for all you did for Fiona.
**[20:32] ---**
Oh, no, please.
**[20:33] ---**
Fiona, you'll catch his stupidity
if you hang out with him,
**[20:36] ---**
so stay away from now on.
**[20:37] ---**
The hell was that, you bastard?
**[20:40] ---**
I understand, Dio.
**[20:42] ---**
Oh, hey! You, too, Fiona?!
**[20:44] ---**
Man, that's so mean.
**[20:47] ---**
I bet you told her some
messed up story, didn't you?!
**[20:49] ---**
Maybe, maybe not.
**[20:52] ---**
We will now begin
the military exercise.
**[20:55] ---**
Activating Coupling Mode.
Duration is 300 seconds.
**[20:59] ---**
Hostiles entering effective range.
Commencing to intercept Group One.
**[21:00] ---**
Target Alpha One, firing NECTTAR Guns.
Luxon and Bradyon countering enemy fire.
**[21:03] ---**
Group One, Group Two,
destruction of all units confirmed.
**[21:05] ---**
Target Alpha One,
taking more and more damage.
**[21:07] ---**
Twenty Valiancers

**[21:09] ---**
"Vice Admiral Richardson,
Pacific Fleet Acting Commander"
**[21:12] ---**
So this is the Coupling System...
**[21:15] ---**
Mission objective has been achieved.
**[21:17] ---**
Units on this side will immediately...
**[21:18] ---**
"Maintenance Building 7, Hawaii Base"
**[21:27] ---**
Aoba! Dio! Thanks for your hard work!
**[21:30] ---**
Elvira says the military
exercise went beautifully!
**[21:34] ---**
You're rushing the start of
Code T2Rise by about 0.2!
**[21:37] ---**
You're the one who's slow, right?!
Maybe you're not fired up enough!
**[21:41] ---**
Thanks to you pushing too far ahead,
**[21:43] ---**
we missed at least three
that we could've shot down!
**[21:45] ---**
That's not true!
Don't exaggerate things!
**[21:48] ---**
I wasn't exaggerating!
**[21:48] ---**
Honestly...
**[21:49] ---**
It's your idiocy that...
**[21:58] ---**
Commencing operation.
**[22:27] ---**
*With my heart, I call out*
**[22:31] ---**
*To the far side, mutually drawn*
**[22:35] ---**
*Forgetting even the reason I ache*
**[22:40] ---**
*Just for now, please*
**[22:44] ---**
*I know you*
**[22:49] ---**
*I'm looking for you*
**[22:53] ---**
* Softly pressing my lips to the bright*
* afterimage I can't keep from leaving*
**[23:02] ---**
* If hesitation is what gives way*
* to the slightest of hopes*
**[23:11] ---**
* To as many gentle mornings*
* as the times I have wandered*
**[23:20] ---**
* In the future that*
* leads back to that sky,*
**[23:24] ---**
* I want to save you,*
* I want to protect you*
**[23:29] ---**
*In the future that arrives at that dream*
**[23:33] ---**
*Wait for me*
**[23:36] ---**
*The love we'll surely find*
**[23:41] ---**
*I want you to reach out for it*
**[23:48] ---**
