[00:01] gen
    In the past, man had made the five
    powers that make up the world his own,
[00:08] gen
    and even reached for the divine.
[00:12] gen
    However, all that was in vain.
[00:16] gen
    That day, Earth was destroyed
    and the universe was rewritten.
[00:22] gen
    This universe was the sandbox of a crazed god,
[00:26] gen
    and it was rubbed in our faces that we're
    nothing more but ignorant, dense infants.
[00:32] gen
    But if this world, which was full
    of ambiguities, uncertainties,
[00:37] gen
    absurdities, and inconsistencies,
    was merely a joke to this god,
[00:44] gen
    then is this world in which we live—
[00:56] gen
    Is this world actually real?

    AnchoR, you're so cute.
[02:36] nao
    The cutest in the world.
[02:41] ryu
    Master Naoto.
[02:42] ryu
    I see you prefer your women young.
[02:45] nao
    N-No, that's not it! RyuZU, you are my wife!
[02:49] nao
    AnchoR is my daughter, I swear!
[02:51] mar
    What are you doing?
[03:05] mar
    A cyborg's head?
[03:08] hal
    Sorry for the wait. We got everybody
    safely out of Akihabara...
[03:13] hal
    What are you doing?
[03:15] mar
    Oh, hey. Thanks for that.
[03:19] mar
    You know, I think it's a
    cyborg from back then.
[03:26] har
    So what are you going to do?
[03:28] mar
    Repair it. I mean, if it's
    dead, I can't kill it.
[03:36] mar
    Hi, are you awake now?
[03:39] ber
    Where am I?
[03:44] ber
    Vainney Halter?
[03:46] hal
    Yeah, so what, boy?
[03:48] ber
    If you're here, that means
    that's Marie Bell Breguet.
[03:53] hal
    I don't know if it was good or bad luck
    that allowed you to survive in such shape.
[03:58] ber
    Life's que sera, sera.
    Just being alive is good enough.
[04:04] hal
    Good one.
[04:06] hal
    Anyway, how does this girl determine
    if she attacks someone or not?
[04:11] nao
    AnchoR is an angel.
[04:14] mar
    What are you on?
[04:15] nao
    You're ready to do anything to
    protect Marie, right, old man?
[04:20] nao
    You were ready to kill your
    soul and be a machine.
[04:23] nao
    Ready to throw away your life.
[04:25] mar
    So you already knew back then?
    That AnchoR can't attack humans?
[04:30] hal
    So basically, I was schooled by
    an automaton on my humanity.
[04:35] hal
    Jeez, she really is quite the angel.
[04:42] nao
    What is this sound?
    It's emanating from the ground.
[04:48] mar
    Is this?
[04:52] mar
    What is happening?
[04:54] nao
    This can't be true.
[04:55] nao
    That giant weapon is tearing through
    the underground and coming up!
[04:59] mar
    Didn't the army destroy that thing?
[05:02] ber
    You set the army on that huge thing?
[05:04] ber
    Why do you think I went out of my way
    to send that radio transmission?
[05:08] mar
    Don't tell me.
[05:09] ber
    Yes, it's electromagnetic!
[05:11] ber
    That's the pinnacle of
    electromagnetic weaponry research!
[05:16] mar
    Why didn't I think of that?
[05:47] mar
    Halter?!
[06:06] mar
    No... way.

    Akihabara have... stopped moving.

    It just appeared, and they

    Hey, control.

    What's up with the capital defense unit?

    Are they jerking off and sleeping?
[07:16] man
    They were wiped out.
[07:17] sak
    What?!
[07:20] man
    Saying the destruction of the
    Akihabara Grid is synonymous
[07:22] man
    with the destruction of Tokyo
    is not too far-fetched.
[07:26] man
    All units, commence attack
    once you have eyes on target.
[07:29] sak
    This is Storm 1 to all units.
[07:30] sak
    Give 'em everything you got

    Those were our country's strongest forces!
    What is happening?!
[08:29] def
    As the Ministry of Defense, we are tasked with
    preventing invasions from other countries.
[08:34] def
    The sudden appearance of a giant weapon
    of mass destruction was unexpected.

    Where is the prime minister
    at a time like this?!
[08:43] def
    As the minister of defense,
    in the prime minister's stead,
[08:45] def
    I request permission to fire the
    Capital Defense Canon at the target.

    Since there are no objections,

    A wonderful result, Your Excellency.
[10:01] gen
    This was to be expected.
[10:04] man
    Now it has been proven that Tokyo's...
[10:05] man
    No, the entire country's weapons are
    ineffective against our Yatsukahagi.

[10:49] (Flashback) gen
    A thousand years ago, Y reconstructed
    this planet using nothing but gears.
[10:58] (Flashback) gen
    Many scientists sacrificed their lives
[11:01] (Flashback) gen
    trying to understand the workings
    of this planet and failed.
[11:07] (Flashback) gen
    Including myself.
[11:10] (Flashback) gen
    This Y, who cast us into
    this random, absurd world...
[11:16] (Flashback) gen
    What kind of arrogant and
    proud genius must he be?
[11:21] (Flashback) gen
    Let me ask you this, young man.
[11:24] (Flashback) gen
    Have you never felt like
    giving up on this world,
[11:32] (Flashback) gen
    when all it does is breed doubt and
    keep obstructing the path of humanity?
[11:39] (Flashback) nao
    We will never lose hope!

    Hot!
[12:02] nao
    Damn it.

[12:12] nao
    Hey, Marie!
[12:13] nao
    What's going on?
[12:21] mar
    Everything... literally...
[12:25] mar
    Everything has been destroyed.
[12:33] pri
    Terrorists in the night, giant weapons...
    What is happening?
[12:37] man
    Prime Minister, the situation is dire.
[12:41] pri
    Were civilians harmed?
[12:44] pri
    Our approval rating just took a hit after
    the ruckus about the purge of the Kyoto Grid.
[12:47] man
    Please listen to his explanation first.
[12:50] kar
    My name is Karasawa.
[12:52] kar
    I'm a civilian meister, but I'm here as a
    consultant to the Ministry of Technology.
[13:04] nao
    What do you mean,
    everything has been destroyed?
[13:09] mar
    That powerful electromagnetic
    pulse magnetized everything.
[13:15] mar
    Do you get it now?
[13:17] mar
    It's impossible for a magnetized
    gear to function properly.
[13:24] nao
    RyuZU!
[13:30] nao
    RyuZU!
[13:37] mar
    I told you, everything has been destroyed.
[13:44] kar
    Bringing down the Yatsukahagi with the
    forces we currently have is impossible.
[13:49] pri
    You can't be serious! Isn't there a way?!
[13:52] kar
    As you can see, conventional weapons
    have absolutely no effect.
[13:58] ---
    Well, do something about it!
[14:00] def
    The only thing we can do is purge!
[14:02] pri
    What?
[14:04] def
    Luckily, the evacuation of the
    Akihabara Grid is already complete.
[14:08] def
    We ought to quickly purge the Akihabara
    Grid, along with that giant weapon!
[14:12] fin
    Wait a minute! Tokyo is a multiple grid.
[14:16] fin
    All the grids are connected
    in complicated ways.
[14:19] wom
    Purging could cause serious damage
    to Japan, or even all of eastern Asia!
[14:26] def
    If we quickly bring the situation under
    control, we can explain away anything!
[14:31] wom
    For maintaining the peace in Asia—
[14:33] def
    That sort of cowardice is why we're being
    taken advantage of by the other countries!
[14:37] kar
    I came here to gather
    information for Meister Marie,
[14:41] kar
    but I didn't think it'd be this bad.
[14:42] fin
    Hey, you!
[14:43] kar
    Yes?
[14:44] din
    What is that giant weapon, anyway?
[14:47] kar
    If a theory will suffice,
    I'd be happy to answer.
[14:50] fin
    A theory?! What kind of consultant are you?!
[14:53] kar
    Unfortunately, I am a clocksmith,
[14:57] kar
    so I'm not very well-versed in
    electromagnetic technology.
[15:00] pri
    Electromagnetic technology?
[15:03] pri
    That weapon?
[15:04] kar
    Yes.
[15:05] kar
    Since it was able to disable
    the entire grid itself,
[15:09] kar
    and since it's able to vastly
    outperform our weapons,
[15:12] kar
    that is the only feasible explanation.
[15:14] kar
    Electromagnetic technology
    is a violation of the Treaty
[15:17] kar
    of the International Territory
    Administration, isn't it?
[15:19] kar
    Why is something like that
    even in this country?
[15:23] kar
    Something of that scale would be
[15:24] kar
    nearly impossible to build
    unless the entire nation is behind it.
[15:28] guy
    Do you have any proof?!
[15:30] guy
    I won't tolerate any statements
    based on unfounded speculation!
[15:33] kar
    My apologies.
[15:36] kar
    Well, I guess that means that every country
[15:38] kar
    is doing research on
    electromagnetic technology.
[15:42] ---
    Oh, so that's it.
[15:45] kar
    Meister Marie, please be safe.
[15:51] nao
    Everything has been destroyed?
[15:53] nao
    That's ridiculous.
[15:55] nao
    We have to get to the repairs.
[15:57] nao
    You can do it, can't you?
[15:59] mar
    Yes, demagnetization.
    If we demagnetize the gears...
[16:04] nao
    Then wake up and get to it!
[16:08] mar
    How? That pulse magnetized
    every gear in Akihabara.
[16:14] mar
    The entire city broke!
[16:16] mar
    And we can't even get out of this room!
[16:32] nao
    All right.
[16:33] nao
    What floor is this?
[16:34] nao
    Well, we can make it if we
    use some random cables.
[16:38] mar
    What are you...
[16:40] nao
    Isn't it obvious? Getting out of here.
[16:43] mar
    What?
[16:46] nao
    RyuZU,
[16:52] nao
    hang in there just a bit longer.
[17:00] mar
    Hey!
[17:01] mar
    You...
[17:04] mar
    What are you thinking?
[17:06] nao
    I don't know, but I can't
    leave RyuZU like this!
[17:12] nao
    We have to get out of here first.
[17:14] nao
    Then we find a way to do
    that demagnetization.
[17:17] nao
    Then we repair everyone.
[17:19] nao
    After that, I'm going to stuff the ones who
    dared to do this to my wife and daughter
[17:24] nao
    into a pot and boil them!
[17:28] nao
    Do you understand?
[17:30] nao
    Then keep your mouth shut and stay put!
[17:33] mar
    How?
[17:35] mar
    How can you refuse even the tiniest
    sliver of despair in this situation?
[17:45] mar
    Halter...
[17:49] nao
    You got a little lighter.
[17:52] nao
    I'll fix you right away.
[17:54] mar
    Wait. I'm coming, too.
[18:27] (Flashback) mar
    Oh, thank you for your 
    valuable opinion, Big Brother.
[18:31] (Flashback) hal
    Can we not do that, please?
[18:34] (Flashback) mar
    Would you prefer this cover, then?
[18:38] (Flashback) mar
    Daddy?
[18:42] mar
    Sorry. I promise I'll fix you.
[18:50] mar
    I'm ready now.
[18:52] nao
    Sure. H-Hey!
[18:56] mar
    Halter's body is the pinnacle of the
    Breguets' cutting edge technology.
[19:01] mar
    I took part in the design phase, as well.
[19:05] mar
    I won't let anyone touch it!
[19:08] mar
    What?
[19:09] nao
    It's nothing.

[19:20] anc
    Initiating regular sequence.
[19:28] anc
    That was scary.
[19:31] nao
    AnchoR!
[19:34] anc
    Father, what's the matter?
[19:36] anc
    I'm so glad!
[19:38] anc
    My heart almost stopped,
    thinking you might not wake up.
[19:43] anch
    Father, you can't die!
[19:46] nao
    I won't die now, so no worries!
[19:48] nao
    Even if RyuZU is fine,
    if you weren't moving...
[19:53] ---
    Sorry.
[19:54] mar
    Did you just say that she was moving?
[19:58] nao
    Yeah, the entire time.
[20:00] nao
    That's why there must be a
    reason that RyuZU got so hot.

[20:07] nao
    Zappy?
[20:08] anc
    Um, I went into a emergency
    heating sequence.
[20:14] mar
    Heating?
[20:16] mar
    Did you eliminate the magnetic field
    with the Curie Temperature?!
[20:19] nao
    Curie what?
[20:21] mar
    Magnetic materials lose
    their magnetic properties
[20:23] mar
    when they are heated to a certain temperature.
[20:26] mar
    Essentially, you can demagnetize
    things by heating them.
[20:30] nao
    Ah, I see.
[20:32] anc
    But my sister can't cool herself down.
[20:35] nao
    Don't worry. I had a feeling, so I
    already moved RyuZU to the cold floor.
[20:41] anc
    Father, you're amazing!
[20:44] anc
    But don't your wounds hurt?
[20:49] nao
    If it's for my wife and daughter,
    I don't even consider this a wound!
[20:55] mar
    That idiot knew from the beginning
    that RyuZU and AnchoR were fine.
[21:01] mar
    Even then, he didn't care
    that he would get burned
[21:04] mar
    and moved RyuZU so she could cool down.
[21:07] mar
    Everything he did was out of instinct,
    without hesitation, and the optimal action.
[21:13] mar
    If it's necessary, he will even
    sacrifice his own extremities for it.
[21:19] mar
    Naoto, you're totally crazy.
[21:24] mar
    And yet, I...
[21:27] nao
    Marie.
[21:29] nao
    Now that AnchoR is up, let's get going.
[21:33] nao
    Mother, let's go.
[21:34] mar
    Go? But where?
[21:36] nao
    To a place where we can repair RyuZU.
[21:38] anc
    To a place where we can repair my sister!
[21:40] mar
    You're too random!
[21:44] mar
    Anyway, let's get out
    of here and go to Ueno.
[21:46] mar
    Meister Konrad should be
    waiting for us there.
[21:49] nao
    That's it!
[21:50] nao
    Okay!
[21:51] mar
    Naoto, right now, I'll allow
    you to pull me around.
[23:41] anc
    After escaping Akihabara, the party
    meets up with Konrad in Ueno.
[23:46] anc
    That city was defenseless against the
    impending threat of the Yatsukahagi.
[23:51] anc
    Marie's exasperated with impatience.
[23:54] anc
    But Naoto leaves to go on a shopping date
    with AnchoR to "do what can still be done."
[24:01] anc
    Next time, "Criminal Act."
[24:04] anc
    Then I'll destroy it, 
    so don't cry, Mother.
