    Hey, you seem busy.
[00:43] ver
    Here, enjoy this kiss from
    your goddess to cheer you up.
[00:46] hal
    Quit fooling around.
    Shut up, and come with me, kid.
[00:51] kon
    Oh, going out?
[00:53] hal
    The army is getting antsy, so we're
    going to go play with them a bit.
[00:59] mar
    I'm sorry, but I'll need you to
    buy us as much time as possible.
[01:01] hal
    Of course.

[02:43] hou
    Are you wanting to retaliate
    against the giant weapon
[02:48] hou
    because the automata dear to you were hurt?
[02:53] nao
    Not quite.
[02:54] nao
    I mean, they forced AnchoR
    to do something truly vile.
[02:57] nao
    And on top of that, they hurt RyuZU.
[02:59] nao
    I just want them to pay for that.
[03:03] hou
    Then why did you assume the risk
    of overtaking the Pillar of Heaven?
[03:09] nao
    Would it not have been quicker to
    simply purge the Akihabara Grid?
[03:13] nao
    It seems to me that would've been the
    most efficient way to achieving your goals.
[03:19] nao
    No, I mean the people who aren't behind that
    giant weapon have nothing to do with this.
[03:26] hou
    I see.
[03:28] hou
    I understand now.
[03:30] hou
    I see that you truly cannot be trusted.
[03:33] nao
    What? How did you arrive at that?
[03:36] hou
    You are a very fair person.
[03:41] nao
    RyuZU?
[03:43] ryu
    To be frank, I'm astonished.
[03:46] ryu
    I never expected to find
[03:47] ryu
    another human besides Master
    Naoto who wasn't completely blind.
[03:52] hou
    I am honored to receive your praise.
[03:59] (Flashback) gen
    Let me ask you this, young man.
[04:01] (Flashback) gen
    Have you never felt like
    giving up on this world,
[04:05] (Flashback) gen
    when it keeps obstructing
    the path of humanity?
[04:09] (Flashback) nao
    Don't be so full of yourself, old man.
[04:12] (Flashback) nao
    Why do you think you get
    to speak for all humanity?
[04:16] (Flashback) nao
    We will never lose hope!
[04:24] gen
    There was someone who stole away all the
    theories humanity had come up with.
[04:28] gen
    That person then created this grotesque
    thing, this clockwork planet.
[04:34] gen
    If he had been a god or demon,
    I could have accepted it.
[04:39] gen
    I thought to myself that I could resign with
    the knowledge that there is obviously
[04:45] gen
    no way for our mediocre people
    to go against a superior being.
[04:50] gen
    Until I met that boy.
[04:55] gen
    Gentlemen!
[05:00] gen
    Thank you for your hard work thus far.
[05:02] gen
    Now, you may rest.
[05:03] off
    Your Excellency!
    What is the meaning of this?!
[05:05] off
    We're—
[05:18] gen
    Now I shall challenge you one more time,
[05:22] gen
    you monster who pretends to be Y.

    You shitheads! Go down!
[05:35] ver
    And here come more.
[05:37] ver
    Even if I'm peerless, I can't go on forever.
[05:42] hal
    Kid, less talking, more fighting.
[05:45] ver
    Easier said than done. I'm totally spent.
    I can't squeeze anything else out.
[05:51] hal
    Princess, can you make something
    happen soon, please?
[05:55] mar
    Thirty minutes until
    the Tall Wand is launched.
[05:59] mar
    This is the home stretch, everyone!
[06:00] all
    Roger!
[06:07] nao
    If I was able to do work like that, too...
[06:14] ryu
    Master Naoto?
[06:15] nao
    You've gotta be kidding me.
[06:17] nao
    This is like that time when...
[06:19] mar
    What's wrong? We've almost completed
    the bypass to take full control.
[06:23] nao
    Marie! Gather all the clouds to
    the south of here, right now!
[06:28] mar
    Initiate weather control on the
    exterior of Floor 20, six o'clock!
[06:45] nao
    Crap, we won't make it!
[06:47] nao
    Everyone run!
[06:59] ver
    Shit! What the hell's happening?!
[07:17] nao
    They shot it.
[07:19] mar
    What?
[07:21] nao
    Can't you see? The main cannon of
    the thing that destroyed Akihabara!
[07:27] mar
    No way! We were supposed
    to have another 15 hours!
[07:31] mar
    I thought they were trying
    to stage a coup d'état!
[07:34] mar
    If they destroy the Pillar of Heaven,
    they'll all go down with Tokyo, too!
[07:38] nao
    How should I know?!
[07:40] nao
    I never imagined they'd do that, either!
[07:45] gen
    That was the appropriate countermeasure
    against a microwave maser cannon.
[07:52] gen
    What's more,
[07:53] gen
    you did that without even understanding
    the underlying principles behind it.
[07:56] gen
    Right, Naoto Miura?
[07:59] nao
    You're the old man from before?
[08:01] gen
    I haven't introduced myself yet.
[08:04] gen
    My name is Gennai Hirayama.
[08:07] mar
    Naoto, who is this?
[08:10] ryu
    We met him in the deep underground before.
[08:12] ryu
    He's a recluse who thinks
    he's given up on the world.
[08:15] gen
    I was never interested in a coup d'état.
[08:21] mar
    What the hell?!
[08:25] mar
    The bypass was disconnected?
[08:27] mar
    With that one shot?
[08:30] mar
    We have to get back to work right now!
[08:31] kon
    We just received an emergency
    transmission from Karasawa.
[08:37] kon
    They moved the launch time
    of the Tall Wand forward.
[08:46] mar
    No way.
[09:13] gen
    I don't intend to let this end easily, Y.
[09:18] mar
    Y?
[09:20] gen
    Stop me.
[09:23] gen
    Taste the resolve of the commoners
    who crawl on the ground,
[09:26] gen
    you monster.
[09:28] ---
    
[09:30] mar
    Naoto, come on. Let's rearrange those gears.
[09:36] mar
    See, we need to rework this
    part here one more ti—
[09:41] nao
    Marie, do you even know
    what you're talking about?
[09:53] nao
    How am I supposed to hear the sound
    of gears that have disappeared?
[10:07] nao
    That thing diverted all energy
    to charge its main cannon,
[10:12] nao
    so it was able to fire a lot
    faster than anticipated.
[10:15] mar
    How long until it can shoot again?
[10:18] nao
    It fired multiple times, so 72 minutes.
[10:23] nao
    It won't be sooner than that.
[10:26] haL
    Hey, Princess! Are you safe?
    What's going on over there?
[10:30] ver
    And how long are we supposed to defend here?
[10:33] ver
    These guys are pounding us hard
    from the front and the rear!
[10:39] kon
    Meister Marie, do you remember Kyoto?
[10:44] kon
    When everybody had given up,
    you were the only one who—
[10:48] mar
    That's not true.
[10:50] mar
    Since then, all I've done is rely on a miracle.
[10:55] mar
    One called Naoto Miura.
[11:01] mar
    Naoto, can't you destroy that
    weapon with AnchoR and RyuZU?
[11:06] nao
    If that's our last resort, I'd rather Japan,
    or the entire world itself, go under.
[11:12] nao
    But...
[11:13] anc
    Father...
[11:18] anc
    Please give me the order.
[11:20] nao
    No, I'll never do that!
[11:23] anc
    But at this rate...
[11:24] nao
    I know. I get it!
[11:27] nao
    I'll figure it out!
[11:29] nao
    I'll come up with something...
[11:41] anc
    I'm sorry, I can't obey that order.
[11:45] nao
    AnchoR!
[11:48] nao
    AnchoR!
[11:49] nao
    AnchoR!
[11:50] nao
    RyuZU, please go and bring
    her back immediately!
[11:53] ryu
    I cannot stop her once she's fully powered.
[11:57] nao
    In that case, tell her this:
[11:59] nao
    "Wait 70 minutes."
[12:01] nao
    Give me until then to work something out!
[12:04] ryu
    Understood.
[12:06] ryu
    Miss Marie, may I say something?
[12:11] ryu
    You're right.
[12:13] mar
    Huh?
[12:14] ryu
    Like Master Naoto.
[12:16] ryu
    And at the same time, you're wrong.
[12:19] mar
    Right and wrong?
[12:23] ryu
    Please, use every bit of your
    insufficient brain. Excuse me.
[12:33] nao
    Let's do this, Marie!
[12:35] mar
    Do what?
[12:37] mar
    There isn't anything we can do.
[12:39] nao
    Then we'll just have to figure something out!
[12:41] mar
    You can't hear the sound of the
    gears that have disappeared, right?
[12:44] mar
    And yet you want to make something happen?
[12:46] mar
    That sort of convenient miracle doesn't exist!
[12:49] nao
    Yeah, I have no freaking clue what to do!
[12:52] nao
    But you know what?!
[12:54] nao
    You're different!
[12:56] nao
    You're someone who never thinks
    something is impossible!
[13:01] nao
    It seriously disgusts me,
    but you're a genius, aren't you?!
[13:04] nao
    Wasn't it your talent that turned my random
    power into something useful all this time?!
[13:08] nao
    You have all this knowledge and skill.
[13:10] nao
    How can you so easily say
    that nothing can be done?!
[13:13] nao
    If you're not going to use it,
    give it to me! Give me your talent!
[13:18] nao
    Come on!
[13:19] mar
    Talent? Did you say talent?
[13:24] mar
    Why are you making that face?
[13:27] mar
    To think that you're envious of my talent.
[13:42] nao
    Stop! You idiot, you're breaking it!
[13:45] nao
    Something's came out!
[13:47] ---
    Everything that comes
    out of your mouth is nonsense!
[13:54] mar
    Ah, jeez!
[13:55] mar
    I'm done agonizing.
    It's over, done, thanks for playing!
[13:58] mar
    First of all, why does someone as noble as I
[14:01] mar
    have to rely on someone as
    stupid and perverted as him?
[14:04] mar
    I'm so angry at myself and everything else!
[14:07] mar
    You shit!
[14:08] mar
    Everybody get on your knees before me!
[14:11] mar
    On your knees!
[14:12] nao
    You bitch!
[14:15] mar
    Anyway, if Naoto had my skill,
[14:19] mar
    or if I had Naoto's senses,
    we could construct a new bypass.
[14:23] kon
    But the important parts and
    gears have disappeared.
[14:28] mar
    We can do it. If it's Naoto and me!
[14:45] ryu
    Wait.
[14:47] anc
    Please don't stop me, Sister.
[14:50] anc
    I can't do anything but destroy.
[14:53] ryu
    You don't understand...
[14:56] ryu
    Why you were given the name AnchoR.
[15:00] anc
    Why?
[15:01] ryu
    Believe in Master Naoto.
[15:04] ryu
    While you're at it, in Miss Marie, too.
[15:07] anc
    Father and Mother?
[15:12] mar
    First of all, your senses
    were telling the truth.
[15:17] mar
    Which means that what's wrong is the
    original clocksmith technology itself.
[15:23] nao
    Do you even know what you're saying there?
[15:25] mar
    Yes.
[15:26] mar
    We clocksmiths, the 1,000
    years of research...
[15:30] mar
    All of it was wrong.
[15:35] kon
    Unbelievable.
[15:37] mar
    You know the "answer."
[15:40] nao
    The "answer"?
[15:42] mar
    I, Marie Bell Breguet, am not going
    to give you a special lesson,
[15:46] mar
    since no text book or
    blueprint can help you.
[15:53] mar
    Analyze it in your head. That's it.
[15:58] nao
    What?
[16:00] mar
    You can hear the orchestra before
    the performance has even begun.
[16:05] mar
    But once it does begin, you get
    disappointed at the terrible sound.
[16:11] mar
    So you listen to each instrument
    one by one to locate the problem,
[16:15] mar
    let it play again, until it's a different song.
[16:23] mar
    What you're seeing is music and transitions.
[16:27] mar
    In other words, flow.
[16:29] mar
    You don't have to think about
    repairs or construction.
[16:33] mar
    All you need to do is analyze and climb.
[16:40] mar
    N-Now it's your turn to teach me!
[16:44] nao
    I think you already understand.
[16:47] mar
    Huh?
[16:48] nao
    You can already do it.
[16:50] nao
    Since you connected Halter's brain.
[16:53] mar
    What are you talking about?
    I just knew the blueprint, so—
[16:58] nao
    Really? You could do a modification
    you had never done before,
[17:02] nao
    in such a short time, without thinking?
[17:06] nao
    You can see it, Marie.
[17:09] nao
    The result.
[17:10] nao
    The future you're supposed to reel in.
[17:12] mar
    No, that's not—
[17:17] mar
    I see. You and I, we're opposites.
[17:21] nao
    Opposites?
[17:23] mar
    Naoto constructs the
    situation from the answer.
[17:26] mar
    I arrive at the answer from the situation.
[17:30] mar
    Tell me everything you heard
    at the Pillar of Heaven.
[17:34] mar
    I'm going to decode everything,
    memorize it all, and make it my own!
[17:39] nao
    Fine, but I'm not confident
    I can properly verbalize it.
[17:45] nao
    Carefully listen to what I'm going
    to tell you now, then forget it.
[17:48] mar
    Huh?
[17:50] nao
    You don't have to memorize it,
    but don't forget it.
[17:52] nao
    Listen to everything and to nothing.
[17:55] nao
    Think without thinking.
[17:57] nao
    Everything is right. Everything is wrong.
[18:01] nao
    Contradictions make sense. Right is left.
[18:04] nao
    Nothing exists, and everything exists.
[18:08] nao
    You don't know, but you know.
[18:11] nao
    You know, but you don't know.
[18:15] nao
    You don't remember, but you remember.
[18:18] nao
    Let's go.
[18:18] mar
    Wait!
[18:35] nao
    One last thing.
[18:37] nao
    If clockwork is something that doesn't
    work if a single gear is missing...
[18:42] both
    ...then how is this planet still working?!
[18:48] nao
    Marie...
[18:50] nao
    Marie?
[18:52] nao
    All right, you're awake. Did you memorize it?
[18:55] mar
    Huh, what?
[18:58] nao
    All right, good. You memorized it.
[19:03] mar
    Wait, I have no clue what you said at all.
[19:06] nao
    You remember.
[19:09] nao
    Marie, you said this, right?
[19:12] (Flashback) ver
    Don't tell me you have all of the
    world's weapons' blueprints—
[19:16] (Flashback) mar
    Yup, memorized. Of course I do.
[19:19] nao
    If you didn't know, I'll tell you.
[19:23] nao
    That's impossible.
[19:26] nao
    Unless you're you.
[19:30] nao
    It's fine. Believe.
[19:40] nao
    I'll leave you behind if you don't come.
[19:41] mar
    Who are you talking to?
[19:43] nao
    Let's go!
[19:43] mar
    Let's do it!
[19:53] nao
    Here, everything is right,
    and everything is wrong.
[19:57] nao
    Contradictions make sense,
    and right is left.
[20:00] nao
    Nothing exists, and everything exists.
[20:14] mar
    I am a genius, after all.
[20:25] hou
    New gears are...
[20:27] kon
    ...being born!
[20:33] nao
    See? There's no way that you
    can't do it if I can do it.
[20:37] nao
    Of course!
[20:38] nao
    I'm a genius who makes the impossible possible
    and the woman who's going to crush you!
[20:45] nao
    Marie!
[20:46] nao
    Listen to the carving sound of the coaxial!
[20:48] nao
    The locking corner is worn,
    and it's not going deep enough!
[20:51] mar
    I know!
[20:53] mar
    I'll push in the HIM 0331 and...
    See? It made it!
[20:57] mar
    Focus, Naoto!
[20:59] nao
    You, too! Don't give up anymore!
[21:02] hou
    You two...
[21:04] kon
    I wonder how far they intend to go.
[21:11] anc
    It's time.

    I don't want this to get dirty
    or broken, so please hold on to it.
