[04:56] Kanie
    You think so?
[04:57] Kanie
    Oh, Tajima-chan! Hello!
[05:00] Okino
    Good morning!
[05:02] Tajima
    Thank you so much for coming.
[05:04] Tajima
    President Kanie, you came personally?

    Get that straight, you hear?
[05:21] Okino
    Sorry.
[05:23] Miyuki
    So you can drive trailers,
    too, President Kanie?
[05:26] Kanie
    If it's got tires, I can drive it.
[05:30] Kanie
    Though with these things, I can't even—
[05:32] Okino
    Just leave the running of this one to me!
[05:35] Okino
    Oh, is this our first time meeting?
[05:37] Miyuki
    Yes, though we've talked
    on the phone a few times.
[05:40] Okino
    Then, let's do this properly. I'm your new

    I handled its development myself.
[06:34] Okino
    My very first robot!
[06:40] Okino
    For safety, I made the cockpit out of an airtight,
    pressure-resistant titanium alloy frame.
[06:45] Okino
    and the main hatch uses
    composite laminate armor.

    I'm sorry, Mr. Kataoka.
    It was an emergency situation.
[11:12] Kataoka
    It may be a residential area, but no one
    lives there now. It's not urgent at all.
[11:17] Tajima
    Kataoka-san, you've got it all wrong.
[11:20] Tajima
    Our job is to preserve the island
    so that its residents can return at any time.

    to get Okino-kun's contract of
    employment properly signed and sealed.
[11:32] Kanie
    That's right! It would be simply awful

[12:05] Kataoka
    I told you, we need to get
    this squared away properly!
[12:09] Kataoka
    If Okino-kun gets injured, who takes
    responsibility? Us or Kanie-san?
[12:17] Okino
    Seriously, I'll be fine.
[12:19] Okino
    I basically never get hurt—
[12:21] Kataoka
    That's not the point! This is a business!
    And we need to act like it!

    I've got impact resistance
    and an auto-balance mode.
[18:35] Okino
    I'm okay. I'll be okay.
[18:38] Okino
    The robot I designed to
    take on any opponent...
[18:43] Okino
    Bullbuster can do this.
[18:48] Okino
    Take this!
[18:51] Okino
    Yes!
[18:54] Okino
    It didn't do any damage?
[18:57] Okino
    No, it did work.
[18:59] Okino
    In that case...
[19:12] Muto
    See that?
[19:13] Muto
    Bipedal robots won't do the trick!
[19:17] Muto
    Hey, Arumi! Don't be crazy!
[19:20] Muto
    Damn it.
[19:25] Arumi
    Please turn over.
[19:36] Okino
    Damn it!
[19:37] Okino
    In that case...
[19:48] Okino
    It's gonna tear me apart.
[19:51] Okino
    Not good, not good, not good.
[19:53] Okino
    What do I do?
[19:55] Okino
    What now?
[20:05] Muto
    I wasn't sure that'd actually work.
[20:07] Muto
    And I can't believe it did!
[20:10] Arumi
    Get out of there, fast!
[20:16] Arumi
    Out of ammo?
[20:20] Muto
    Arumi!
[20:25] Muto
    Arumi! Run!
[20:28] Muto
    Over here! Look at me!
[20:39] Okino
    The bigger the enemy, the bigger the target.
[20:42] Okino
    Which means I've got the upper hand.
[20:44] Okino
    The advantages of bipedal movement
[20:46] Okino
    are mobility and effortless
    navigation of uneven terrain!
[20:54] Muto
    New Model! It's charging again!
[20:58] Okino
    I can...
[21:01] Okino
    ...take it!
[21:07] Okino
    Auto balance, activate.
[21:21] Okino
    Finally!
[21:23] Okino
    Take this!
[21:40] Okino
    Yes!
[21:43] Okino
    This is the power of the new model
     I created. The power of Bullbuster!
[21:52] Muto
    You saved our butts.
[21:54] Arumi
    Were you hurt?
[21:56] Muto
    I'm fine.
[21:58] Muto
    Muto on Ryugan Island here.

    Time is 11:36 a.m.

    Extermination complete.

    This is...
[22:54] Muto
    We call them Giant Beasts.
[22:56] Miyuki
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[22:58] Tajima
    That's it!
[22:59] Okino
    I put everything I am into that robot!
[23:01] Arumi
    Our work isn't all fun and
    games like you think it is.
[23:05] Arumi
    Don't treat it like a video game.
[23:07] Kataoka
    That's what it means...
[23:09] Kataoka
    to be a company!
