[00:15] ---
    Do you get it?!
[00:17] ---
    You almost got Lieutenant Conrad killed!
[00:21] ---
    All right, careful now.
[00:23] ---
    You'll be fine. You're not going to die.
[00:26] ---
    Lee...
[00:27] ---
    You opened your cockpit during combat
[00:29] ---
    and on top of that, you tried to
    make contact with an enemy pilot?!
[00:32] ---
    What were you thinking?!
[00:33] ---
    Hina was there...
[00:38] ---
    Like hell it matters who was there!
[00:40] ---
    Zogilia is the enemy!
[00:42] ---
    Can't you even tell the difference
[00:43] ---
    between who you should fight
    and who you should protect?!
[00:45] ---
    Hina isn't the enemy! She kept me safe!
[00:48] ---
    You're still saying that?!
[00:50] ---
    Leave it at that, Dio.
[00:52] ---
    You're in rough shape from
    the forcible Decoupling, right?
[00:55] ---
    But...
[00:56] ---
    It isn't like you to get so riled up
    when the guy has no training.
[00:59] ---
    I agree.
[01:00] ---
    He may be able to pilot a Valiancer,
    but he's still a civilian.
[01:05] ---
    You can't go measuring him against
    the pride and discipline of a soldier.
[01:09] ---
    Understood.
[01:11] ---
    Come on.
[01:13] ---
    You saved me from having to go for a swim.
[01:19] ---
    Lee!
[01:28] ---
    There. Go on.
[01:33] ---
    Aoba...
[01:35] ---
    Lee...
[01:37] ---
    Hey, you're okay.
[01:41] ---
    Yes.
[01:42] ---
    Um...
[01:43] ---
    If you hadn't been there, we might've
    wound up dead both of these times.
[01:50] ---
    Ow...
[01:51] ---
    Hey now, lay off the chatter.
[01:54] ---
    You're our savior.
[01:57] ---
    Don't let this get to you.
    Because I'm fine.
[02:02] ---
    I told you not to talk. Come on, off we go.
[02:09] ---
    The Cygnus will now head for the Narashino
    Base for repairs and for supplies.
[02:15] ---
    All hands stay at Patrol Station One
    and keep a strict watch.
[02:24] ---
    "Convertible Interception Carrier, Trident"
[02:27] ---
    Please wait, Madam Special Officer O'Keefe.
[02:30] ---
    I cannot agree with Ensign
    Ryazan being sent to the brig.
[02:30] ---
    "The Time for Resolve"
[02:34] ---
    It was only the enemy pilot who
    recklessly sought contact with her
[02:37] ---
    and I do not believe that was
    due to any oversight on her part.
[02:40] ---
    According to the records,
[02:41] ---
    that enemy pilot called
    out the ensign's name.
[02:45] ---
    How do you explain this fact?
[02:47] ---
    If it is a crime to have your
    name known to the enemy,
[02:51] ---
    then I am also guilty of this.
[02:52] ---
    Her greatest crime
[02:55] ---
    is that she has given
    me cause to doubt her.
[03:00] ---
    Commander.
[03:01] ---
    There is no way that Ryazan...
    that Hina is consorting with the enemy.
[03:05] ---
    I know.
[03:06] ---
    But sir, Hina is currently...
[03:08] ---
    I will do everything I can to get
    her released as soon as possible.
[03:13] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:19] ---
    "Narashino Base"
[03:27] ---
    Are you really sure it was all right to
    grant him permission to disembark?
[03:31] ---
    I don't see why not.
[03:32] ---
    He said he's originally
    from Narashino, right?
[03:35] ---
    That is exactly why.
[03:37] ---
    And it seems he was once acquainted
    with a Zogilian pilot as well.
[03:40] ---
    Considering the need to maintain secrecy...
[03:41] ---
    It'll be fine. I'll be sure to put
    him under surveillance as well.
[03:54] ---
    Come on out, Mayuka.
[03:57] ---
    I already know you're there.
[04:00] ---
    I didn't know I'd been made.
[04:02] ---
    You don't have to worry.
    I won't run away or anything.
[04:05] ---
    Oh, no. This is part of my duties.
[04:07] ---
    Right. You're a soldier, too...
[04:12] ---
    Oh...
[04:14] ---
    Um, where are you trying to get to?
[04:17] ---
    There's no point to me sneaking
    around anymore, so I'll be your guide.
[04:21] ---
    You don't need to do that.
    I've lived in this town since birth.
[04:25] ---
    Though, that was 70 years ago.
[04:30] ---
    You're still sticking to that story?
[04:32] ---
    Because, it's the truth.
[04:34] ---
    If that's the case,
    you'll need me even more.
[04:37] ---
    Because the city has changed an awful lot.
[04:40] ---
    Right...
[04:41] ---
    That's right!
[04:43] ---
    I wonder if Mayuka will be okay.
[04:45] ---
    I never imagined that
    she'd volunteer for the duty.
[04:49] ---
    I was a little surprised that
    her tastes ran in that direction.
[04:52] ---
    Is that what this is about?
[04:53] ---
    What? But...
[04:55] ---
    I am going to be stepping out,
    so I will leave the rest to you.
[04:59] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:07] ---
    This... is my house?
[05:10] ---
    Yes, if the address you gave me
    is correct, this is definitely it.
[05:15] ---
    This area was appropriated
    in order to expand the Narashino Base,
[05:20] ---
    but due to subsequent changes
    in the military situation,
[05:23] ---
    it seems the land has remained unused.
[05:26] ---
    What happened to my family?
[05:29] ---
    Tsubasa should at least...
[05:31] ---
    Tsubasa?
[05:32] ---
    My little sister. Even if this is
    the world 74 years later, she'd still...
[05:39] ---
    I guess she'd be 88 years old...
[05:41] ---
    Unfortunately,
[05:43] ---
    I don't see any data on a resident
    by the name of Ms. Tsubasa Watase.
[05:47] ---
    There are a lot of holes in the
    database due to the chaos of war.
[05:50] ---
    I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
[05:54] ---
    How about we get going?
[05:56] ---
    All right.
[06:16] ---
    "For Pedestrians and Bicyclists"
[06:23] ---
    It's like a completely different city.
[06:25] ---
    I guess it's been 70 years.
[06:29] ---
    "Seio Tokyo Metropolitan"
[06:31] ---
    Thank you very much.
[06:33] ---
    "Do Not Enter"
[06:33] ---
    lt looks like this place has changed, too.
[06:37] ---
    Oh, please wait for me!
[06:57] ---
    Here.
    What?
[06:58] ---
    Grab on.
[06:59] ---
    Oh, okay.
[07:03] ---
    Up we go. Be careful there.
[07:05] ---
    You okay?
[07:06] ---
    Y-Yes.
[07:10] ---
    Thank you very much.
[07:20] ---
    The Second Far Eastern War
    started eight years ago
[07:22] ---
    and that seems to be when
    it sustained this damage.
[07:25] ---
    It looks like it's been closed ever since.
[07:29] ---
    I see.
[07:37] ---
    War...
[07:39] ---
    That's...
[07:40] ---
    Aoba?
[07:52] ---
    So, I guess this place survived...
[07:58] ---
    Do you know? That thing's
    called a basketball.
[08:02] ---
    Sure, I know. Because I used
    to be on the basketball team.
[08:05] ---
    What? Basketball's been
    around since that long ago?
[08:10] ---
    Long ago, huh?
[08:11] ---
    Oh...
[08:13] ---
    Oh, it's fine. It's the truth.
[08:20] ---
    Yes!
[08:21] ---
    Damn it! You got me!
[08:22] ---
    You seriously show no mercy.
[08:30] ---
    Yumihara...
[08:32] ---
    It's Hina.
[08:34] ---
    Hina?
[08:36] ---
    Aoba, trust me.
[08:40] ---
    Stay away!
[08:41] ---
    You are a foe of Zogilia!
[08:45] ---
    It was like she was a different person.
[08:48] ---
    But that was definitely Hina.
[08:54] ---
    Both my home and my school are gone.
[08:56] ---
    What's a guy to do?
[08:58] ---
    Aoba...
[09:00] ---
    There's no swirl of light.
[09:03] ---
    Swirl of light?
[09:04] ---
    Yup. When we went into it,
    there was this flash of light
[09:08] ---
    and before I knew it, I
    was here in this world.
[09:11] ---
    But the thing isn't here.
[09:14] ---
    I wonder why it was there...
[09:22] ---
    Not many cars passing by, are there?
[09:24] ---
    There should still be a decent number
    of people left around here, though.
[09:30] ---
    You're going to the future now.
[09:33] ---
    Dio is waiting.
[09:36] ---
    Mayuka.
[09:37] ---
    Yes?
[09:38] ---
    Zogilia is far, right?
[09:40] ---
    What?
[09:41] ---
    W-Well, yes, it's far. It's on the
    other side of the ocean, after all.
[09:46] ---
    Why do you ask?
[09:47] ---
    I'm thinking that I have no choice
    but to see Hina and ask her in person.
[09:50] ---
    Hina? As in...
[09:53] ---
    You're talking about going to Zogilia?!
[09:55] ---
    Would that be impossible?
    I guess it'd be dangerous?
[09:57] ---
    Of course, it would!
[09:59] ---
    Zogilia is an enemy nation!
[10:01] ---
    Besides, they may have seen your face
    during the previous engagement.
[10:06] ---
    If they know your face, you may
    be detained and killed, you know.
[10:10] ---
    I see... You're right.
    There's a war going on, after all.
[10:15] ---
    Of course.
[10:17] ---
    What the heck am I saying?
[10:20] ---
    Aoba...
[10:29] ---
    Thank you very much.
[10:49] ---
    What's the matter?
[10:52] ---
    Would it be all right if I didn't
    pilot the Valiancer anymore?
[10:56] ---
    What?
[10:57] ---
    Right now, the Cygnus is the
    only place I have to go back to,
[11:02] ---
    but if I go back there,
[11:04] ---
    that means I might be piloting
    the Valiancer again, right?
[11:08] ---
    But if I do,
[11:11] ---
    I wonder if someone might get
    hurt again because of me...
[11:15] ---
    Like Lee...
[11:17] ---
    That's not...
[11:18] ---
    That's not something I...
[11:25] ---
    Aoba.
[11:27] ---
    I'm really glad that you appeared, Aoba.
[11:32] ---
    What?
[11:33] ---
    You had that Matching with Dio out of the
    blue, and even though it was your first time,
[11:37] ---
    the Emphatier Level of that
    Coupling was unbelievable,
[11:40] ---
    and you saved us. Twice.
[11:45] ---
    You are...
[11:47] ---
    I think that you... might be our savior!
[11:53] ---
    Mayuka...
[11:54] ---
    I feel wrong asking you this
    when you're not a soldier,
[12:00] ---
    but won't you please come with us?
[12:02] ---
    Please pilot the Valiancer again.
[12:04] ---
    We need you, Aoba!
[12:08] ---
    We have no choice but
    to send you into combat.
[12:10] ---
    You saved me from having to go for a swim.
[12:12] ---
    You're our savior.
[12:22] ---
    All right.
[12:24] ---
    Let's go back to the Cygnus.
[12:28] ---
    Okay!
[12:31] ---
    You want to continue to fight on the Luxon?
[12:33] ---
    Yes.
[12:35] ---
    I can't go back to the past, and both
    my home and my family are gone,
[12:38] ---
    but there are people here
    who make me feel needed.
[12:42] ---
    I'd like to help out here.
[12:44] ---
    I see.
[12:45] ---
    And besides...
[12:47] ---
    By piloting the Luxon and fighting,
    I may get to see Hina again.
[12:51] ---
    I want to see her and ask her for
    the truth about various things.
[12:54] ---
    If she stands in your way as your enemy,
[12:57] ---
    what do you intend to do?
[12:59] ---
    I don't know.
[13:00] ---
    Wha?!
[13:01] ---
    But I will trust Hina!
[13:05] ---
    Well, I think that's fine.
[13:07] ---
    Captain?!
[13:09] ---
    A bastard like that... No...
[13:11] ---
    Nothing, sir.
[13:13] ---
    "The boy from the past."
    Kind of has a nice ring to it.
[13:17] ---
    Elvira, as the Special Duty Officer
    in charge of the Coupling System,
[13:21] ---
    what's your opinion?
[13:25] ---
    His Emphatier Level with
    Dio is outstanding.
[13:29] ---
    I believe there is no one else as
    qualified as he to pilot the Luxon.
[13:40] ---
    In that case, with regards
    to your position...
[13:44] ---
    Hey, that looks pretty good on you.
[13:47] ---
    But to think... you, an ensign, huh?
[13:50] ---
    Accurately speaking,
    I'm called a reserve ensign
[13:52] ---
    and it's a wartime something or other.
[13:54] ---
    Um, forget about me. How are you?
[13:57] ---
    Oh, nothing wrong with
    my bones or my brain.
[14:00] ---
    I'm told that I'll get better
    with some bed rest.
[14:02] ---
    Ruggedly built, aren't I?
[14:04] ---
    I'm glad...
[14:05] ---
    But!
[14:07] ---
    Just don't forget this one thing.
[14:08] ---
    I was able to come back alive
    this time because I was lucky.
[14:12] ---
    So don't ever do something like that again.
[14:14] ---
    Like hell I'm ever going
    through this again!
[14:18] ---
    I won't! I am so sorry about this!
[14:20] ---
    Also, no more forcibly
    severing the Coupling.
[14:24] ---
    What?
[14:26] ---
    In order to dramatically improve
    the abilities of the Linked Buddies,
[14:29] ---
    the Coupling System makes your minds
    resonate to amplify one another.
[14:33] ---
    Forcibly severing that connection
    is an incredibly dangerous act
[14:36] ---
    that could very well cause
    a mental breakdown!
[14:42] ---
    Why don't you say something?
[14:44] ---
    Elvira, are you saying this
    out of concern for me?
[14:47] ---
    Of course!
[14:49] ---
    Honestly! You pilots!
[14:52] ---
    I guess the newly appointed
    ensign still can't understand
[14:55] ---
    the workings of a woman's mind.
[14:56] ---
    That includes you!
[14:58] ---
    You're killing me!
[14:58] ---
    I swear!
[14:59] ---
    Ow, that hurt. You're totally killing me.
[15:00] ---
    See if I care anymore!
[15:04] ---
    I'm glad our classified
    information was kept safe.
[15:07] ---
    If it's thanks, please
    say it to Aoba Watase.
[15:10] ---
    He's the one who resolved to return.
[15:13] ---
    That's true.
[15:15] ---
    Thanks to that, we didn't have to
    see a demonstration of your skills.
[15:20] ---
    If he had plotted to make his escape,
    would you have shot him?
[15:24] ---
    You are the one who ordered me to do so.
[15:27] ---
    Well, that's true, but...
[15:29] ---
    How are things with the ship?
[15:31] ---
    As we suspected, the left wing engine
    nacelle will require serious repairs.
[15:36] ---
    Oh, dear.
[15:37] ---
    We have received word that the
    Chitose Base could accommodate us.
[15:40] ---
    Chitose, huh?
[15:42] ---
    That's out of our way,
    but there's no helping it.
[15:44] ---
    Let's depart as soon as the
    emergency repairs are done.
[15:47] ---
    Roger that, sir.
[16:06] ---
    What's going on?
[16:08] ---
    We have received an SOS
    from a civilian vessel.
[16:10] ---
    Accident?
[16:11] ---
    No, they say they are
    surrounded by Zogilian forces.
[16:14] ---
    Currently, for the enemy forces,
[16:17] ---
    we have one Flamberg
    and eight Kugels confirmed.
[16:19] ---
    Dio, Aoba, can you hear me?
[16:22] ---
    Yeah, I hear you.
[16:24] ---
    Please conduct the Coupling just
    before you enter combat airspace.
[16:28] ---
    We will direct the timing on our end.
[16:30] ---
    What? Why?
[16:31] ---
    Because currently,
[16:33] ---
    the two of you can only maintain the
    Coupling for a maximum of 300 seconds.
[16:36] ---
    Do you understand?
[16:37] ---
    Got it.
[16:39] ---
    Dio?
[16:41] ---
    Roger.
[16:48] ---
    I never imagined we'd run
    across such big game out here.
[16:52] ---
    Bogeys approaching, 8 o'clock!
[16:55] ---
    "666th Independent Hybrid Battalion"
    
[16:55] ---
    IDed as Confederation.
[16:56] ---
    "Lieutenant Commander Bonner"
[16:56] ---
    They're enemy Valiancers!
[16:57] ---
    They're enemy Valiancers!
[16:57] ---
    From the south?
[16:59] ---
    Identify the units.
[17:00] ---
    One is a Beryl, but the
    remaining two are unknown.
[17:03] ---
    New models?
[17:05] ---
    Valiancer Team, prepare to intercept them.
[17:07] ---
    You will shortly be arriving in
    combat air space. Are you ready?
[17:11] ---
    Yeah!
[17:11] ---
    Commencing Coupling in 3, 2, 1...
[17:16] ---
    Proposing!
[17:17] ---
    Connective, Dio!
[17:19] ---
    Acception!
[17:24] ---
    Approach Ring, deployed!
[17:26] ---
    Estifitguide, commencing navigation.
[17:29] ---
    Approach Ring, accepted.
    Commencing Linkage.
[17:32] ---
    Forceveil, open.
[17:34] ---
    Emphatier Level increasing...
[17:36] ---
    No, it won't stabilize!
[17:37] ---
    Wh-What's happening?!
[17:39] ---
    Damn it!
[17:40] ---
    What's going on?
[17:42] ---
    Coupling requires the
    two to be of one mind.
[17:45] ---
    In order for that to happen,
    they must trust and accept one another,
[17:50] ---
    but there are many factors
    that can hinder that process.
[17:53] ---
    The greatest of which is emotion.
[17:55] ---
    Did something happen?
[17:57] ---
    I reported this to you, remember?
[17:58] ---
    They're still at odds with each other?
[18:00] ---
    It appears so.
[18:03] ---
    Valiancer Team entering combat air space!
[18:05] ---
    No choice. We'll go in as is.
[18:08] ---
    All right, me, too.
[18:10] ---
    For real?!
[18:30] ---
    Enemy ship closing in on civilian vessel!
[18:35] ---
    Don't tell me they plan to board?!
[18:37] ---
    How barbaric...
[18:39] ---
    Can we target only the Flamberg?!
[18:40] ---
    Impossible!
[18:41] ---
    Stuck together like that, the civilian
    vessel will take damage, too!
[18:52] ---
    That crest!
[18:54] ---
    I see. No wonder the enemy
    is so intent on getting them.
[18:58] ---
    What do you think you're doing, Dio?!
[19:00] ---
    You're crazy to be
    charging in there by yourself!
[19:05] ---
    Damn it!
[19:06] ---
    Dio?
[19:07] ---
    Aoba, can you hear me?
[19:09] ---
    Oh, yes.
[19:10] ---
    About that ship. It seems it's a ship
    that belongs to Dio's family.
[19:14] ---
    Dio's?! Then...
[19:16] ---
    Yeah, there's a possibility
    that Dio's family is on board.
[19:20] ---
    No, they probably are.
[19:22] ---
    Even within the Confederation,
    the Weinbergs are an illustrious family.
[19:25] ---
    Taking them hostage would open
    the door to all kinds of negotiations.
[19:28] ---
    That's what the enemy's after.
[19:30] ---
    So that's it.
[19:31] ---
    But even for Dio, they're not
    an opponent he can handle alone.
[19:37] ---
    I understand.
[19:43] ---
    Dio, are you listening?
[19:46] ---
    I may never get to see my family again.
[19:49] ---
    Being in that position now,
[19:50] ---
    I can really understand how
    desperate you must feel!
[19:53] ---
    Your family... people we should
    protect are in there, right?!
[19:57] ---
    Let me help you protect them!
[19:59] ---
    Dio, let's conduct the
    Coupling one more time!
[20:03] ---
    Roger that.
[20:06] ---
    Connective, Dio!
[20:09] ---
    Acception.
[20:12] ---
    Emphatier Level increasing!
[20:14] ---
    Level has reached a point
    where Coupling is possible!
[20:20] ---
    Coupling, complete!
[20:22] ---
    Ah, to be young.
[20:34] ---
    Wow...
[20:35] ---
    Impossible! What was
    that movement just now?!
[20:38] ---
    Civilian vessel is breaking away!
[20:40] ---
    R-Retreat!
[20:43] ---
    You're not getting away!
[20:48] ---
    I'm coming, too!
[20:54] ---
    Civilian vessel breaking away!
    Moving outside blast range!
[20:57] ---
    Fire!
[21:10] ---
    Dio. Aoba. Can you hear me?
[21:13] ---
    Oh, yes.
    Yes, sir.
[21:14] ---
    You guys stay out there to
    escort the civilian vessel
[21:17] ---
    and make port at Chitose.
[21:20] ---
    I understand.
[21:21] ---
    Roger.
[21:28] ---
    So that's the Chitose Base.
[21:36] ---
    That's...
[21:40] ---
    "Chitose Base"
[21:47] ---
    Hey, Dio.
[21:53] ---
    Stand back! Have you forgotten
    the face of Dio Weinberg?!
[22:02] ---
    Dio!
[22:03] ---
    Fiona! You're all right!
[22:05] ---
    So that Valiancer really was you, Dio!
[22:09] ---
    Yeah!
[22:09] ---
    Younger sister?
[22:11] ---
    What are you doing, Dio?
[22:14] ---
    Father...
[22:16] ---
    The things you ought to be doing
[22:18] ---
    should not include frittering
    your time away here.
[22:25] ---
    His father?
[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] ---
    Next time on Buddy Complex.
[23:48] ---
    "Next Time 'Scars'"
[23:48] ---
