Ground on the Red Seas"
**[02:19] ---**
How are you feeling, Jo?
**[02:25] ---**
You again?!
**[02:34] ---**
Why do you have Meg?!
**[02:36] ---**
She'll only do what I say now.
**[02:40] ---**
Did *she* say that?!
**[02:42] ---**
She will soon.
**[02:48] ---**
I'm sure of it, once she sees me kill you...
**[02:59] ---**
Don't screw with me.
**[03:01] ---**
You know my location.
I'll be waiting for you.
**[03:08] ---**
I'm coming, Meg!
**[03:14] ---**
I can't wait. Once I tear
her to shreds, you'll be--
**[03:20] ---**
That's not true...
**[03:24] ---**
I can't eat any more...
**[03:28] ---**
This is Jo's food...
**[03:55] ---**
*I'll play with you guys,
too*, *until she gets here.*
**[04:22] ---**
The Guard Cybots onboard have activated.
**[04:26] ---**
Maria is controlling them.
**[04:28] ---**
Professor, why isn't Maria
starting the fight herself?
**[04:34] ---**
Think about why she chose the
Moon Empire for her fight with Jo.
**[04:41] ---**
Most likely, she wants
to recreate that final test.
**[04:47] ---**
Could it be due to memory-related trauma?
**[04:51] ---**
There *is* that...
**[04:53] ---**
...but not only has Jo lost her
memory, but she also possesses
**[04:57] ---**
a hidden and unknown power.
**[05:00] ---**
Having instinctually inferred this,
Maria wants to restore Jo's memory
**[05:06] ---**
and make her remember how strong she is.
**[05:10] ---**
She likely believes that when
she proves her supremacy,
**[05:13] ---**
Jo's mind and body will
be completely destroyed.
**[05:18] ---**
Maria is aware of the danger
of clashing with Jo head-on.
**[05:24] ---**
However, she feels no fear toward anyone.
**[05:29] ---**
She is simply making extremely
calm and strategic decisions.
**[05:34] ---**
Exactly as our Genocide
Angel was designed to do.
**[06:16] ---**
Attention, citizens of Tokyo.
**[06:19] ---**
Should you ever leave the city,
be sure to always carry
**[06:22] ---**
your RAPT-issued Citizen
Registration Card with you.
**[06:26] ---**
Non-citizens of Tokyo
require a City Residence License.
**[06:31] ---**
If asked for your permits, follow
the officer's instructions promptly.
**[06:37] ---**
Evaluations for firearm license
applications have also been revised.
**[06:43] ---**
Those wishing to carry
firearms will be required to pass
**[06:47] ---**
prescribed tests of physical
abilities and intelligence.
**[06:53] ---**
Last night, RAPT mobile units
conducted peace-purification patrols,
**[06:59] ---**
resulting in 198 criminal arrests.
**[07:10] ---**
To increase the results of these patrols,
RAPT's PR section advises against
**[07:14] ---**
going outside or conducting
business at nighttime.
**[07:21] ---**
The Tokyo Reconstruction
Committee plans to begin a list
**[07:24] ---**
of illegal homes, businesses, and groups
with an investigation this month.
**[07:30] ---**
This is meant to sort out and isolate
the UGP, or Underground People,
**[07:36] ---**
who are bent on hindering
the city's development.
**[07:39] ---**
The list will be drawn up as
recommended by international sociologists.
**[07:45] ---**
At a conference today,
the city of Tokyo announced
**[07:48] ---**
an ordinance requiring all
residents, including foreigners,
**[07:52] ---**
to have regular medical checks.
**[07:54] ---**
Violators will be located and punished
**[07:57] ---**
by the RAPT Environmental
Preservation Section.
**[08:06] ---**
We now have 100% control
over all media outlets.
**[08:10] ---**
Broadcast video can also be
modified and edited as we wish.
**[08:16] ---**
Excellent. Then I have
something for you to do right away.
**[08:20] ---**
Maria has stolen control of the Moon Empire.
**[08:23] ---**
Don't let word get out until
the situation is under control.
**[08:27] ---**
Understood. I'll arrange it at once.
**[08:36] ---**
What is the situation?
**[08:38] ---**
Mr. Glenford.
**[08:40] ---**
A change, not even we could predict,
is on the verge of happening.
**[08:47] ---**
Maria, of her own will, has taken
action to obtain something she wants.
**[08:54] ---**
What desires could an Angel
created as a combat life form have?
**[08:59] ---**
They're just weapons in human form.
**[09:04] ---**
We designed their bodies
and programmed each and every cell.
**[09:11] ---**
They have no fear of
death or joy of being alive.
**[09:17] ---**
All they do have is a combat
system to attack and destroy.
**[09:52] ---**
The fusion of machine-like accuracy
and beast-like fighting instincts...
**[09:59] ---**
That's what we intended the Angels to be...
**[10:03] ---**
...but they also couldn't escape
from the fact that they were human.
**[10:12] ---**
The desire to seek out stronger enemies
**[10:15] ---**
and feel happiness by destroying them...
**[10:37] ---**
When she experiences the taste
of victory at its most extreme state,
**[10:41] ---**
Maria may achieve an even greater evolution.
**[10:45] ---**
And if she loses?
**[10:48] ---**
She will likely lose her
identity as a combat life form,
**[10:54] ---**
and choose to take her own life.
**[11:51] ---**
Where are we?
**[11:54] ---**
The ocean?
**[11:56] ---**
Nobody can interfere out here.
**[12:03] ---**
Why did we come here?!
**[12:10] ---**
Where's Jo?!
**[12:14] ---**
Somewhere on board, I guess.
**[12:17] ---**
You guess?!
**[12:18] ---**
I will slaughter her here.
**[12:22] ---**
Once I do that, you'll be mine, right, Meg?
**[12:27] ---**
"M-M-Meg?!"
**[12:29] ---**
How dare you leave off my name suffix!
**[12:32] ---**
And besides, Jo'd never lose to you!
**[12:37] ---**
What're you doing?
**[12:44] ---**
*You* may think you've got me hostage,
**[12:47] ---**
but that won't work on Jo!
**[12:50] ---**
You're the one who's gonna get slaughtered!
**[12:53] ---**
Why? I'm stronger than she is, and yet...
**[12:59] ---**
...I don't understand why...
**[13:05] ---**
...you rely on Jo!
**[13:09] ---**
Eep!
**[13:11] ---**
Ow!
**[13:13] ---**
Let go of me!
**[13:15] ---**
I've changed my mind.
**[13:17] ---**
I will kill Jo right now!
**[13:22] ---**
And then you, too.
**[13:30] ---**
What did you--
**[13:32] ---**
You're weak and adorable... But...
**[13:37] ---**
...if you'll only ever be hers...
**[13:40] ---**
...then I don't need you.
**[13:42] ---**
*I can't move...*
**[13:46] ---**
Be a good little girl for a while.
**[14:10] ---**
She's coming!
**[14:20] ---**
The two are converging in Hangar ♪1!
**[14:24] ---**
Maria! You mustn't fight there!
**[14:44] ---**
These are all..
**[14:49] ---**
She's here!
**[15:31] ---**
Couldn't wait anymore, huh?
**[15:33] ---**
I'll kill you!
**[15:35] ---**
Right now!
**[15:43] ---**
Maria's Combat Neuron Activation
Index is increasing abnormally!
**[15:48] ---**
Her synapses won't hold if this keeps up!
**[15:52] ---**
No wonder Angels were
forbidden from fighting each other.
**[16:04] ---**
It's no use!
**[16:06] ---**
Yeah! I know!
**[16:17] ---**
Can't we stop them from fighting somehow?
**[16:22] ---**
Even our enforcement
program is being blocked.
**[16:26] ---**
There is no way to stop
them until they finish.
**[16:30] ---**
Can't we regain control of the Moon Empire?
**[16:34] ---**
The Moon Empire is a Metal
Brain-based, unmanned aircraft carrier.
**[16:39] ---**
It's presently under
Maria's complete control.
**[16:42] ---**
That doesn't include the new-model
cybots on board, though...
**[17:02] ---**
*I win!*
**[17:43] ---**
What on earth?!
**[17:45] ---**
Maria's Combat Neurons have disappeared!
**[17:57] ---**
What's happened to me?
**[18:01] ---**
I don't know why... but I don't
want to fight you anymore.
**[18:06] ---**
Same here... I'm at my limit...
**[18:10] ---**
Wait! Why are *you* stopping?!
**[18:15] ---**
Because you don't want to fight.
**[18:18] ---**
This doesn't make sense...
**[18:21] ---**
I can't comprehend why
I don't want to fight...
**[18:24] ---**
This never happened before!
**[18:27] ---**
What do I do?!
**[18:38] ---**
Jo!
**[18:41] ---**
A perfect being that feels no fear...
**[18:44] ---**
Wasn't that what a
Genocide Angel was to be?
**[18:47] ---**
No matter the circumstances,
those born as humans
**[18:51] ---**
cannot overcome their humanity.
**[18:53] ---**
At least, the gods didn't allow it this time.
**[18:59] ---**
Professor! It's too early for conclusions!
**[19:02] ---**
Most surprising of all is the
level of Jo's latent abilities,
**[19:07] ---**
which surpassed even Maria's programming.
**[19:11] ---**
The more Jo fights, the more
her combat abilities are drawn out.
**[19:16] ---**
All to save that girl partner of hers...
**[19:27] ---**
*Jo... Don't lose...*
**[19:38] ---**
Jo... lost?!
**[19:41] ---**
T-That's not possible!
**[19:48] ---**
Jo! Come on, now!
**[19:51] ---**
Don't die, Jo! Say something!
**[19:55] ---**
Jo isn't dead.
**[19:56] ---**
Damn you!
**[19:58] ---**
How could you! Give her back!
**[20:02] ---**
It's all right, Meg.
**[20:04] ---**
She used too much energy
fighting me. But don't worry.
**[20:10] ---**
Her neuro-program reset has begun.
**[20:15] ---**
I thought you were Jo's enemy?
**[20:19] ---**
Not anymore.
**[20:21] ---**
I want Jo to live.
**[20:25] ---**
Because I like her.
**[20:27] ---**
Huh?
**[20:31] ---**
Maria! Obey our orders
and undergo reprogramming!
**[20:37] ---**
Continue to ignore them
and you will be disposed of!
**[20:41] ---**
Respond! Maria!
**[20:45] ---**
No! I won't be reprogrammed!
**[20:50] ---**
By saying that, you've asked to be executed!
**[20:58] ---**
Do it!
**[21:27] ---**
Meg! Take Jo and jump into the ocean! Hurry!
**[21:41] ---**
Maria!
**[22:10] ---**
*I remained motionless within the crowd*
**[22:18] ---**
*Not even the voice of my
tears carried on this street*
**[22:25] ---**
*as my feelings of lonesomeness joined it*
**[22:33] ---**
*In truth, everyone wants
to smile with each other,*
**[22:42] ---**
*yet they get hurt when
they can't do it very well*
**[22:49] ---**
*But someone will always be there to watch,*
**[22:58] ---**
*so let's walk together beneath this sky*
**[23:25] ---**
*The angels' last mission
begins in this world's Hell,*
**[23:28] ---**
*which is controlled by an immense evil!*
**[23:32] ---**
*On the final Burst Angel, "Burst, Angels!"*
**[23:36] ---**
"Burst, Angels!"
