*This may sound sudden,*
**[00:06] Gi**
*but the world was destroyed a long time ago.*
**[00:17] Gi**
* One day, the Earth suddenly*
* reached the end of its life.*
**[00:21] Gi**
* It seemed as if humanity had*
* no choice but to die along with it,*
**[00:27] Gi**
*until a single clocksmith appeared.*
**[00:30] Gi**
*He called himself "Y."*
**[00:33] Gi**
* And he said that he could recreate the*
* destroyed Earth with nothing but gears.*
**[00:39] Gi**
*A thousand years passed...*

**[00:56] N**
They'll be here in nine seconds.
**[00:58] N**
Two silent helicopters,
**[01:00] N**
and one transport helicopter,
**[01:01] N**
loaded with 12 combat automata.
**[01:05] N**
Three, two, one... zero!
**[01:27] N**
Enemy reinforcements from the southeast.
**[01:29] N**
Twelve seconds.
**[01:31] N**
Clean these guys up before then, Marie.
**[01:34] M**
Who said you could boss me around, Naoto?
**[01:37] Gu**
Wasn't this your idea, Princess?
**[01:40] M**
Stay out of this.
**[01:42] M**
You're just my bodyguard!
**[01:46] M**
Oh, my...
**[01:54] M**
This is...
**[01:56] M**
slightly bad.
**[01:58] Gu**
So, what's the plan?
**[02:01] N**
What do we do?
**[02:03] N**
This is the end.
**[02:04] N**
Right, RyuZU?
**[02:06] R**
Indeed, Master Naoto.
**[02:08] R**
If trying to take out my master with these
crude machines is someone's idea of a joke,
**[02:13] R**
it isn't the least bit funny.
**[02:17] R**
Now, become humorless pieces of scrap,
**[02:21] R**
and vanish from my master's sight.
**[02:42] R**
Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Naoto.
**[02:52] N**
That was some top-class RyuZUing, RyuZU!
**[02:55] R**
That was an extremely low-class sentence,
**[02:59] R**
indicative of your own lack
of quality and education.
**[03:05] R**
* Y called this planet, formed from an*
* almost infinite number of gears,*
**[03:12] R**
*the Clockwork Planet.*

**[05:20] N**
I'm back!
**[05:23] N**
Were you lonely, everyone?
**[05:26] N**
I know!
**[05:28] N**
Please, forgive me for being such a failure
**[05:33] N**
that I couldn't even fix a single clock!
**[05:35] N**
But I want you to believe that
my love for you is real!
**[05:42] N**
I'll be a clocksmith who can fix you!
**[05:49] N**
I'm sorry.
**[05:50] N**
You have the right to choose, too, don't you?
**[05:55] N**
They're great, though.
**[05:57] N**
The ultimate clockwork machines, automata.
***SIGN*** Automata Monthly
**[06:02] N**
Some day I want to make my own.
**[06:07] N**
God's not fair!
**[06:09] N**
Make it rain automata,
talent, or at least gears!
**[06:15] N**
Is it seriously raining?
**[06:19] N**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[06:28] N**
My sweet lovers!
**[06:31] N**
What are you doing?
**[06:34] N**
Damn it!
**[06:35] N**
What the hell?
**[07:20] N**
She's pretty...
**[07:23] M**
You dropped a YD-01 container?
**[07:26] Gu**
I-I'm sorry!
**[07:29] M**
That belongs to the Breguet family,
**[07:31] M**
and is a national treasure-class automaton.
**[07:34] Gu**
The person responsible will
be punished immediately!
**[07:45] M**
Halter, send out our own
recovery team immediately!
**[07:49] M**
We can't leave it to those
incompetent shitheads!
**[07:52] Gu**
Roger.
**[07:54] Gu**
But, Meister Marie, a lady needs
to behave more ladylike.
**[07:58] ---**
What?!
**[07:59] Gu**
Especially since this is an official request for aid
**[08:02] Gu**
from the Kyoto Grid to the Meister Guild.
**[08:05] M**
They're just saying,
"We can't handle it anymore,
**[08:08] M**
so save us!" and making us deal with it.
**[08:11] M**
But still, we can't ignore
problems with the Core Tower.
**[08:16] M**
Hurry there.
**[08:18] Gu**
As you wish, Princess.
**[08:27] M**
This looks like it's
gonna be a fun job, huh?
**[08:33] N**
This is... my ideals personified.
**[08:38] N**
No, more than that.
**[08:44] N**
Wow...
**[08:46] N**
The sound of the gears is more perfect
than anything I've ever heard.
**[08:53] N**
No... wait.
**[08:57] N**
It's faint, but there's an
unpleasant noise mixed in.
**[09:01] N**
The gear at the very center is stuck.
**[09:06] N**
Is that why she's not booting up,
even though the power spring is functional?
**[09:12] N**
Seriously?
**[09:14] N**
I've got two to three hours
before it collapses.
**[09:34] N**
Wow...
**[09:37] N**
So pretty...
**[09:40] N**
I can't even fix a clock...
**[09:44] N**
So what am I trying to do here?
**[09:52] M**
Meister Konrad!
**[09:54] Gu**
It's been a while, Meister Marie.
***SIGN*** 16:55 Kyoto Core Tower Floor 3
**[09:57] M**
Thank you so much for being
our service chief this time.
**[10:02] Gu**
They're with the military, huh?
**[10:04] M**
They're here to tell us to stay
off their turf already, huh?
**[10:07] Gu**
Dr. Breguet?
**[10:09] Gu**
We were ordered to give you
as much help as possible.
**[10:12] M**
That's fine.
**[10:13] M**
Please leave.
**[10:14] Gu**
We know this place better than anyone.
**[10:17] Gu**
Do you think you can fix
it without our help—
**[10:20] M**
We were called here because
you couldn't handle it.
**[10:25] M**
Get lost, amateurs.
**[10:33] N**
This is crazy.
**[10:36] N**
If my hand slips and I put even the
slightest scratch on the main cylinder,
**[10:40] N**
it'll be irreparable.
**[10:44] N**
But I don't like this sound...
**[11:08] N**
I see!
**[11:09] N**
If I can reach this point...
**[11:40] N**
W-Wow!
**[11:42] N**
This is great!
**[11:47] N**
My head feels like it's gonna burst...
**[11:49] N**
I can't move.
**[12:25] R**
I am Unit 1 of the
Initial-Y series, RyuZU.
**[12:31] N**
Naoto Miura.
**[12:34] R**
I am deeply grateful to
you for repairing me.
**[12:40] R**
Still, if it took this long to
repair such a simple malfunction,
**[12:43] R**
that implies that humanity's intelligence
**[12:47] R**
has yet to surpass the
level of a flea, doesn't it?
**[12:52] R**
I would hope that
**[12:54] R**
the person who is to be my master
is at least superior to an insect.
**[13:05] N**
No, my head hurts...
**[13:18] R**
Are you awake, Master Naoto?
**[13:30] R**
Master Naoto, I have a question.
**[13:33] N**
S-Sure...
**[13:35] R**
Do you have my design plans?
**[13:37] N**
No...
**[13:39] R**
Then how many gears is my body comprised of?
**[13:43] N**
Um, 4,207,600,008,643... I think?
**[13:49] R**
Then you really were able to comprehend
and repair me just by the sound?
**[13:54] N**
Were you able to sense
me during the repairs?
**[13:57] R**
Yes.
**[13:58] R**
The whole time.
**[14:00] N**
Sorry for opening you up like that!
**[14:01] N**
But that gear was ruining
that really nice sound...
**[14:06] R**
Master Naoto, you are a pervert.
**[14:10] N**
Yes. I'm sorry.
**[14:13] R**
Then, will you allow me to officially
register you as my master,
**[14:18] R**
and serve by your side?
**[14:22] N**
Huh?
**[14:23] R**
I have come to the conclusion
**[14:25] R**
that you are currently the most
talented clocksmith on this planet.
**[14:28] N**
No, no, no!
**[14:29] N**
That's impossible!
**[14:31] R**
Is there some kind of problem?
**[14:34] R**
Does my perfection and
overwhelming capabilities
**[14:37] R**
damage your mitochondrian-level pride?
**[14:42] N**
No, that's not it...
**[14:47] R**
I see.
**[14:49] R**
I'm not needed, am I?
**[14:55] N**
*Come on, calm down, Naoto Miura.*
**[14:58] N**
*Who is this girl, anyway?*
**[15:01] N**
*She's both high-spec and beautiful.*
**[15:03] N**
* Is she some kind of prototype*
* for a big corporation?*

**[15:17] N**
I'm sorry!
**[15:20] N**
I don't really care about any of that stuff!
**[15:24] N**
I hope you'll be happy to have me!
**[15:29] R**
Then...
**[15:30] R**
Give me your right hand.
**[16:00] R**
Initial-Y series Unit 1.
**[16:03] R**
I am RyuZU, "The One Who Follows."
**[16:06] R**
I swear to stay at the side of Naoto Miura,
**[16:10] R**
and pledge my absolute loyalty and servitude.
**[16:23] M**
It's weirdly quiet, huh?
**[16:25] K**
What is it?
**[16:26] M**
The military people in charge here
have been staying away since then.
**[16:30] K**
You think they're planning something?
**[16:32] K**
I have the perfect man for
situations like this.
**[16:36] K**
Karasawa.
**[16:37] Ka**
What can I do for you?
**[16:39] K**
Can you look and see if the
military's hiding anything here?
**[16:43] Ka**
I had enough of shady business
like that at my last job.
**[16:47] M**
Can you help?
**[16:50] Ka**
I can't turn down a request
from Meister Marie.
**[16:55] N**
You saved me.
**[16:57] N**
If you hadn't gone to get my
things, I'd be penniless.
**[17:01] N**
But I'm sorry to make you
go someplace dangerous.
**[17:05] R**
Unlike your frail and weak self, Master Naoto,
**[17:08] R**
I am capable and versatile.
**[17:10] R**
How was I in danger?
**[17:12] N**
I've been wondering...
**[17:13] N**
Are you supposed to be so sharp-tongued?
**[17:16] R**
Sharp-tongued?
**[17:17] R**
Me?
**[17:18] N**
You don't even realize it...
**[17:21] R**
Now then, Master Naoto,
**[17:23] R**
how about we stay there for the night?
**[17:30] N**
That's a love hotel!
**[17:32] R**
Yes. It's the most reasonably priced hotel,
**[17:35] R**
and the one most well-equipped
with amenities in the area.
**[17:38] N**
B-But...
**[17:39] R**
In addition, no matter how indecent
and unusual your desires,
**[17:45] R**
it is my job as your servant
to accept them all.
**[17:48] N**
What do you think I am?
**[17:51] N**
No! No! No!
**[17:53] N**
Anyway, tonight we can go to
a manga cafe or something.
**[17:56] Gu**
Hey, you're really pretty!
**[17:59] R**
Yes, I'm aware.
**[18:02] Gu**
Good stuff.
**[18:03] Gu**
Want to go have some fun?
**[18:05] Gu**
We can go right over there.
**[18:12] Gu**
Ow.
**[18:13] Gu**
What are you doing?
**[18:16] N**
Shut up!
**[18:17] N**
She's not someone people like you can touch!
**[18:21] Gu**
What did you say, you stupid brat?
**[18:23] Gu**
Do you want to die?
**[18:24] Gu**
You bastard!
**[18:25] N**
RyuZU, run!
**[18:29] R**
This is the first time you
called me RyuZU, isn't it?
**[18:33] R**
I will now enhance your
knowledge, Master Naoto.
**[18:43] R**
Did I go a little too far?
**[18:46] R**
I was rather upset at the way
you treated Master Naoto.
**[18:57] R**
I see.
**[18:58] R**
Instead of the big bed in a love hotel,
**[19:00] R**
you wanted to get close to
me in a narrow seat, huh?
**[19:03] N**
No!
**[19:05] N**
This is the only place that was open!
**[19:08] N**
I'm just tired...
**[19:11] N**
You get some rest, too, RyuZU.
**[19:12] N**
Thanks for everything today.
**[19:19] R**
Are you going to ignore it?
**[19:21] ---**
What?
**[19:21] R**
Are you going to ignore the
opportunity to sleep on my lap?
**[19:25] N**
But... can I?
**[19:27] R**
Were you dissatisfied with my
lap back there on the bench?
**[19:30] N**
Not at all!
**[19:36] R**
Master Naoto.
**[19:40] R**
I am an automaton.
**[19:42] R**
A clockwork doll.
**[19:45] N**
Yeah.
**[19:47] N**
That's right.
**[19:48] R**
So why are you treating
me like a human girl?
**[20:00] R**
What does Master Naoto think about me?
***SIGN*** January 12 03:18
**[20:23] N**
Be quiet.
**[20:29] H**
What's wrong, Princess?
**[20:31] H**
Have a scary dream?
**[20:32] M**
You want to get killed?
**[20:34] M**
Get the team chiefs together, now.
**[20:37] H**
Okay.
**[20:37] H**
But first...
**[20:39] M**
What?
**[20:41] H**
At least put something on down there.
**[20:49] M**
You dummy!
**[20:53] M**
We just experienced a gravity
irregularity, didn't we?
**[20:55] Gu**
I'm amazed you could tell.
**[20:58] Gu**
It didn't shake enough that your
body should be able to sense it.
**[21:01] M**
But if it continues...
**[21:05] M**
It could cause the entire Kyoto Grid to fall.
**[21:09] M**
There's no time to waste.
**[21:11] M**
We need to find the point that's
causing the problem now!
**[21:15] Ka**
It would seem that the military
has chosen a different method.
**[21:18] Gu**
Karasawa.
**[21:20] Ka**
The information I received shows it will
be put into effect in the next few days.
**[21:25] M**
You don't mean...
**[21:27] Gu**
A forced purge of the Kyoto Grid?
**[21:31] M**
Impossible!
**[21:32] M**
There's not enough time
to evacuate everyone...
**[21:34] Ka**
They're well aware.
**[21:39] Gu**
They plan to let Kyoto and
its 20 million people fall?
**[21:46] Gu**
* Even the greatest genius,*
* possessing the greatest skills,*

*Just as Y once did.*
