**[00:16] ---**
Fire the Gala Puska!
**[00:23] ---**
51% of enemy fleet has
been immobilized or destroyed!
**[00:26] ---**
We did it... We did it!
**[00:29] ---**
What in the world is going on?
**[00:31] ---**
We are going to mop
up the surviving enemy units!
**[00:34] ---**
Follow my lead!
**[00:44] ---**
Let's go, Hina!
**[00:45] ---**
We're going to kill Aoba Watase!
**[00:47] ---**
Slava Zogilia.
**[00:54] ---**
"Acception"
**[01:02] ---**
Strike team has broken
through the enemy's front lines!
**[01:05] ---**
Gala Puska,
prepare to fire a second round!
**[01:08] ---**
A second round?
**[01:09] ---**
I do not believe that was
in the operation I proposed!
**[01:11] ---**
I am the commanding officer.
**[01:15] ---**
Enemy forces have
broken through our front lines!
**[01:17] ---**
Focus our remaining forces!
**[01:19] ---**
Our forces should still
have the upper hand here!
**[01:22] ---**
Don't let them fire
that cannon ever again!
**[01:26] ---**
Message from the fleet flagship.
**[01:28] ---**
Reserve forces are ordered
to incapacitate the Gorgon.
**[01:31] ---**
They want us to rush the enemy
base under these circumstances?
**[01:34] ---**
What would you like to do?
**[01:37] ---**
Orders are orders.
We have no choice but to do it.
**[01:40] ---**
Roger that, sir.
**[01:42] ---**
Full speed ahead!
**[01:45] ---**
You'll be the ones to determine
the outcome of this battle.
**[01:48] ---**
I'm counting on you, Dio, Aoba.
**[01:50] ---**
But absolutely no conducting
Couplings in these Valiancers.
**[01:54] ---**
I'll send your
adjustment data on ahead.
**[01:57] ---**
They're different Valiancers,
but the cockpits will be the same.
**[02:00] ---**
Good luck.
**[02:01] ---**
Follow me!
**[02:02] ---**
Don't fall behind!
**[02:03] ---**
Roger!
**[02:10] ---**
Fire a second round?
**[02:11] ---**
We have been informed
it will be in fifteen minutes.
**[02:13] ---**
The fool. Has this unfamiliar
success in battle gone to his head?
**[02:16] ---**
But if we can hit them again,
it will decide the course of this battle.
**[02:20] ---**
That weapon can
destroy cities and wipe out fleets.
**[02:23] ---**
You think it can be fired without limit?
**[02:27] ---**
The Gala Puska draws
its energy directly from Nectoribium.
**[02:31] ---**
Just to fire that thing once,
the amount of Nectoribium it expends
**[02:36] ---**
equals the amount
that Zogilia mines in a year.
**[02:38] ---**
Seriously?
**[02:39] ---**
A year's worth? It can't be...
**[02:42] ---**
Winning the war would be
meaningless if there is no country left.
**[02:45] ---**
But the one who urged them to use
that weapon is you, Alfried Gallant.
**[02:51] ---**
Commander?
**[02:52] ---**
Let's go!
**[02:54] ---**
We'll take advantage
of the enemy's confusion
**[02:55] ---**
and we will decide
the outcome of this battle!
**[02:57] ---**
Roger!
Roger.
**[03:14] ---**
Slava Zogilia.
**[03:21] ---**
We've been caught up in the
fighting against Zogilia's vanguard!
**[03:23] ---**
We can forget about
the Gorgon at this rate.
**[03:26] ---**
Valiancer Team, move out!
**[03:28] ---**
Dropping us right
in the thick of it, huh?
**[03:31] ---**
Cut the chitchat, Jarl!
**[03:33] ---**
Here we go!
**[03:33] ---**
Roger.
Yeah, yeah.
**[03:45] ---**
Damn it! I can't move forward!
**[03:47] ---**
There's suddenly
a whole lot more of them!
**[03:49] ---**
I'm going to create
an opening! Follow me!
**[03:52] ---**
There's no need for that, Commander.
**[03:54] ---**
Bizon?
**[03:55] ---**
Hina and I will do away with the enemy.
**[03:58] ---**
Hina, come, let's conduct a Coupling.
**[04:01] ---**
Roger.
**[04:02] ---**
Doctor, if you please.
**[04:04] ---**
All processes are green.
**[04:08] ---**
Connective, Hina!
**[04:09] ---**
Acce...
**[04:12] ---**
What are you doing, Hina? "Accept," right?
**[04:17] ---**
What a troublesome child.
**[04:22] ---**
I'm sorry. It looks like there
was an oversight on my part.
**[04:25] ---**
I've removed the impediment.
It should be fine now.
**[04:29] ---**
Be careful! What if something
were to happen to my Hina?!
**[04:33] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[04:34] ---**
Here we go!
**[04:35] ---**
Connective, Hina!
**[04:43] ---**
Hina!
**[04:59] ---**
Now, go show them.
**[05:03] ---**
Slava Zogilia.
**[05:20] ---**
Indefatigable and Inflexible's
Valiancer teams have been wiped out!
**[05:24] ---**
Codewave detected from
the two enemy Valiancers!
**[05:27] ---**
They're Coupling Valiancers!
**[05:28] ---**
What?!
**[05:29] ---**
I had no idea they
had Couplers over there...
**[05:34] ---**
Look, Hina!
**[05:36] ---**
This is what the
two of us are capable of!
**[05:40] ---**
What's gotten into Bizon?
**[05:42] ---**
But this is amazing...
**[05:44] ---**
Don't let this chance slip by! Let's go!
**[05:51] ---**
There's the Swan, Hina!
**[05:52] ---**
Aoba's come all this way for us!
**[05:57] ---**
You're in my way! Move it!
**[06:00] ---**
They're too fast!
**[06:02] ---**
There's no way we can go
up against Coupling Valiancers!
**[06:04] ---**
Oh, no! The Cygnus!
**[06:09] ---**
Left NECTTAR Gun has been hit!
**[06:16] ---**
Right engine nacelle has been hit!
**[06:18] ---**
Output down by 40%!
**[06:20] ---**
T-minus thirty seconds until
NECTTAR Curtain is charged up again!
**[06:23] ---**
Be gone!
**[06:31] ---**
What the?!
**[06:36] ---**
It's the Luxon Next and the Bradyon Next!
**[06:39] ---**
Aoba!
**[06:40] ---**
Good grief. Finally!
**[06:42] ---**
A NECTTAR Rifle?!
**[06:44] ---**
We cannot ID those Valiancers.
**[06:46] ---**
A new model, then?
**[06:47] ---**
Let's do this, Dio!
**[06:48] ---**
Don't order me around!
**[06:50] ---**
Connective, Dio!
**[06:52] ---**
Acception.
**[07:01] ---**
Enter the heroes.
**[07:03] ---**
You two took forever!
**[07:05] ---**
No kidding.
**[07:17] ---**
Coupling Valiancers?
**[07:18] ---**
They're the Confederation's
new Coupling Valiancers.
**[07:21] ---**
The pilot is probably...
**[07:24] ---**
Aoba Watase!
**[07:26] ---**
Aoba...
**[07:30] ---**
Those Valiancers...
**[07:32] ---**
Are they the ones you saw in the past?
**[07:34] ---**
Yeah, the one that came to
kill me and the one Hina was on...
**[07:38] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[07:39] ---**
Here we go, Hina!
**[07:43] ---**
Is it Hina piloting that one?!
**[07:45] ---**
Here they come!
**[07:53] ---**
What's with those new Valiancers?!
**[07:54] ---**
Amazing...
**[07:56] ---**
So that's what combat looks
like between Coupling Valiancers...
**[08:00] ---**
Emphatier Level at 90%!
**[08:02] ---**
It's the greatest Match we've ever seen!
**[08:04] ---**
I never imagined
**[08:05] ---**
that we'd be seeing combat
between Coupling Valiancers so soon...
**[08:09] ---**
This should yield some valuable data.
**[08:11] ---**
This is...
**[08:13] ---**
Elvira, please look.
**[08:15] ---**
What is this?
**[08:16] ---**
At any rate, this means the enemy's
overwhelming advantage is gone.
**[08:21] ---**
Attack with everything we've got!
**[08:23] ---**
This is the crucial turning point!
**[08:31] ---**
Our troops are taking losses.
**[08:33] ---**
So we've lost the advantage of surprise.
**[08:36] ---**
To think we've been reduced to
relying on Coupling Valiancers, too.
**[08:40] ---**
Damn it! They're strong!
**[08:42] ---**
Aoba, if you don't fight like
you're going to take them down,
**[08:44] ---**
you're going to get killed!
**[08:46] ---**
I know that, but...
**[08:48] ---**
Both of you, listen!
**[08:49] ---**
There was some weird
signal noise, so we analyzed it.
**[08:52] ---**
There's something strained
about the Coupling on the enemy side.
**[08:55] ---**
They might be
forcing something somewhere.
**[08:58] ---**
If that's true, it's an opening
we can take advantage of.
**[09:01] ---**
So I have an idea.
**[09:06] ---**
I see.
**[09:07] ---**
This is a gamble. And one
with pretty bad odds at that.
**[09:10] ---**
Let me do it. I'm sure
Hina's got to be on that thing.
**[09:13] ---**
All right.
**[09:19] ---**
Here we go, Aoba!
**[09:20] ---**
Right!
**[09:21] ---**
Decoupling!
**[09:25] ---**
They dissolved their Coupling?!
**[09:36] ---**
Hina, can you hear me?!
**[09:38] ---**
It's me!
**[09:39] ---**
What?
**[09:40] ---**
What the?! Damn it!
**[09:42] ---**
The cockpit had this
kind of functionality?!
**[09:46] ---**
Wh... at?
**[09:48] ---**
Hina! It's Aoba!
**[09:51] ---**
Ao... ba...
**[09:52] ---**
That's right! Aoba!
**[09:57] ---**
Aoba...
**[09:59] ---**
It's me! It's Aoba Watase!
**[10:01] ---**
You're you, right?
**[10:09] ---**
Aoba!
**[10:11] ---**
Hina!
**[10:22] ---**
There's the forcible Decoupling!
**[10:23] ---**
Now!
**[10:24] ---**
All right!
**[10:34] ---**
Why you! What did you do, Aoba?!
**[10:40] ---**
Dio. Aoba.
**[10:42] ---**
It looks like the Gorgon has begun
to power up to fire a second time.
**[10:45] ---**
T-minus four minutes until
estimated time of firing.
**[10:47] ---**
There's no time.
**[10:48] ---**
Understood.
**[10:49] ---**
Let's go, Aoba!
**[10:51] ---**
Roger!
**[10:57] ---**
T-minus three minutes to firing.
**[10:59] ---**
Please wait! We still have
friendlies on the battlefield!
**[11:01] ---**
They have all been notified.
We will fire as planned.
**[11:06] ---**
Understood.
**[11:08] ---**
Three Valiancers rapidly approaching!
**[11:15] ---**
Are you awake, Hina?
**[11:17] ---**
Aoba...
**[11:19] ---**
I had no idea that you were a Coupler.
**[11:22] ---**
I don't really understand.
**[11:23] ---**
I thought I declined Doctor Hahn's
request that I be a pilot...
**[11:27] ---**
What do you mean?
**[11:29] ---**
I couldn't speak to the details,
**[11:31] ---**
but knowing him,
I imagine he'd use any means.
**[11:34] ---**
That's my Hina!
**[11:42] ---**
Hina! You okay?!
**[11:44] ---**
Let's conduct a
Coupling one more time!
**[11:45] ---**
Stop it, Bizon!
**[11:47] ---**
They're coming! We have to hurry!
**[11:50] ---**
Connective, Hina!
**[11:55] ---**
No!
**[11:57] ---**
What's wrong, Hina?! Are you okay?!
**[11:59] ---**
Answer me, Hina!
**[12:00] ---**
Hina!
**[12:01] ---**
Stop!
**[12:04] ---**
The enemy Valiancer
is emitting Force Consultors!
**[12:06] ---**
I knew it...
**[12:07] ---**
Hahn, you've made it
possible to conduct Couplings
**[12:10] ---**
that ignore the will of
the Couplers, haven't you?!
**[12:12] ---**
The mistake lies in being
shackled by preconceptions.
**[12:16] ---**
At this rate, the enemy
will forcibly conduct a Coupling!
**[12:22] ---**
Hina, the two of us are
going to conduct a Coupling now!
**[12:26] ---**
What?
**[12:26] ---**
It'll be fine, Hina! Trust me!
**[12:30] ---**
Aoba...
**[12:32] ---**
Hina!
**[12:33] ---**
Connective, Hina!
**[12:35] ---**
Do it, Aoba!
**[12:38] ---**
Connective, Hina!
**[12:47] ---**
Emphatier Level is rising!
**[12:49] ---**
It's still going up and up and up!
**[12:50] ---**
What's going on, Aoba?!
**[12:53] ---**
Ensign Ryazan...
**[13:06] ---**
Aoba.
**[13:08] ---**
Hina.
**[13:11] ---**
In the beginning, I hated you.
**[13:15] ---**
That's true.
**[13:17] ---**
But you continued to
place your trust in me all this time.
**[13:25] ---**
This time, I'll place
my trust in you, Aoba.
**[13:32] ---**
Acception.
**[13:45] ---**
Aoba...
**[13:49] ---**
Why, Hina?! Tell me why!
**[13:54] ---**
What's going on? What is that light?!
**[13:57] ---**
U-Unknown!
**[13:59] ---**
Darn it! Fire the Gala Puska!
**[14:35] ---**
Singularity of unknown origin
has appeared at coordinates 125, -979.
**[14:40] ---**
It is beginning to expand.
**[14:41] ---**
Gravitational anomaly detected.
**[14:42] ---**
Internal mass increasing
at a geometric rate.
**[14:44] ---**
Retreat! Retreat!
**[14:47] ---**
Propulsion problem
on Proto-Valiancer Unit 2.
**[14:49] ---**
He will get pulled in at
his current rate of acceleration.
**[14:53] ---**
What's wrong, Unit 2?! Accelerate!
**[14:55] ---**
D-Damn it!
**[15:10] ---**
Bizon...
**[15:11] ---**
I'm pretty sure that's
the thing from when...
**[15:13] ---**
What is it?
**[15:14] ---**
I told you before, remember?
**[15:15] ---**
I went into that thing
and came to this era.
**[15:20] ---**
A time tunnel...
**[15:22] ---**
A time tunnel?!
**[15:23] ---**
I see, so that's the
thing you were talking about...
**[15:26] ---**
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it looked like that.
**[15:29] ---**
It can't be...
**[15:31] ---**
Why you!
**[15:33] ---**
You won't get away with this,
**[15:35] ---**
Aoba Watase!
**[15:38] ---**
Because you brought me here.
**[15:40] ---**
A Valiancer suddenly
came after me at school
**[15:44] ---**
and you saved me, remember?
**[15:48] ---**
Aoba will be... attacked...?
**[15:53] ---**
A time... tunnel...
**[16:00] ---**
I get it now!
**[16:02] ---**
Hina!
**[16:03] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[16:04] ---**
Aoba, it's exactly like you said.
**[16:07] ---**
What?
**[16:08] ---**
This time, I'll be the one to save you!
**[16:13] ---**
Wait, Hina!
**[16:15] ---**
Don't, Aoba! It's dangerous!
**[16:17] ---**
Out of my way, Dio! If I don't go now...!
**[16:20] ---**
Hina!
**[16:26] ---**
Accelerate, damn you!
**[16:33] ---**
See you later, Aoba.
**[16:43] ---**
Hina!
**[17:05] ---**
I...
**[17:17] ---**
I wonder when this is...
**[17:26] ---**
It'll be fine.
**[17:28] ---**
I have time. I'm sure of it.
**[17:44] ---**
Wait for me, Aoba.
**[17:49] ---**
I see, so Hina...
**[17:52] ---**
Hina alone...
**[17:55] ---**
has been going back and
forth across the same time all along...
**[17:58] ---**
to make sure I...
**[18:11] ---**
I...
**[18:14] ---**
Who... am I?
**[18:18] ---**
Hina has been doing the
same thing over and over again,
**[18:22] ---**
and I've never been able to stop her...
**[18:26] ---**
Hina...
**[18:28] ---**
Hina!
**[18:34] ---**
Aoba, it's exactly like you said.
**[18:37] ---**
What?
**[18:38] ---**
This time, I'll be the one to save you!
**[18:40] ---**
Wait, Hina!
**[18:50] ---**
Aoba, hurry!
**[18:51] ---**
What?
**[18:52] ---**
What's wrong?
**[18:53] ---**
You're not going to stop me?
**[18:55] ---**
Why would I stop you? She's Hina, right?
**[18:57] ---**
The one who saved your life?
**[19:00] ---**
Oh, yeah, that's right.
**[19:03] ---**
You know, don't you?
**[19:09] ---**
See you later, Aoba.
**[19:13] ---**
Hina, don't go!
**[19:15] ---**
Aoba?! Why?!
**[19:17] ---**
It's time to put an end to
doing this over and over again!
**[19:19] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[19:20] ---**
If I don't go, Bizon will come to kill you!
**[19:23] ---**
I know!
**[19:26] ---**
It's no use saying
anything to him right now.
**[19:28] ---**
You got this, Aoba? Don't miss!
**[19:31] ---**
Right.
**[19:34] ---**
What are you bastards doing?
**[19:38] ---**
So long.
**[19:44] ---**
Why you!
**[19:46] ---**
Aoba!
**[19:47] ---**
Hina!
**[20:13] ---**
Evacuate! Evacuate!
**[20:20] ---**
What happened to Bizon?
**[20:22] ---**
The Alaska Base...
**[20:23] ---**
It's not as if this war is over.
**[20:26] ---**
Is this the punishment meted
out to those who have succumbed
**[20:29] ---**
to the siren song of Nectoribium?
**[20:32] ---**
The Zogilian forces are withdrawing!
**[20:37] ---**
So, we managed
to survive somehow.
**[20:39] ---**
This is Dio. Rendezvousing shortly.
**[20:42] ---**
Aoba, likewise.
**[20:43] ---**
Aoba!
**[20:46] ---**
The heroes return.
**[20:50] ---**
Aoba, why did you stop me?
**[20:54] ---**
Why? Because...
**[20:56] ---**
I didn't want to let you go. That's all.
**[20:59] ---**
That was your chance
to go back to the past. So why...
**[21:04] ---**
That's...
**[21:06] ---**
This guy doesn't think.
**[21:08] ---**
The hell was that?!
**[21:09] ---**
There might still be other chances, right?!
**[21:12] ---**
Talk about optimistic.
**[21:13] ---**
But it's true, isn't it?
**[21:15] ---**
No one knows the future, after all.
**[21:18] ---**
Aoba...
**[21:20] ---**
Besides, there's a
guy who'd miss me if I left.
**[21:26] ---**
Are you talking about me?!
**[21:27] ---**
Who else would I be talking about?
**[21:29] ---**
You're more dense than I thought.
**[21:31] ---**
Dense...! I don't want
to hear that from you!
**[21:32] ---**
You're right. No one can know the future.
**[21:33] ---**
And like there's any way I'd miss you!
**[21:40] ---**
Bradyon Next. Luxon Next.
Plus one captured Valiancer.
**[21:44] ---**
Coming in for landing shortly.
