**[00:06] anc**
Father, what kind of store is that?
**[00:11] nao**
Um, I think you might be
a bit too young for that.
**[00:16] mar**
I'm pretty sure this is the place we're
supposed to meet up with Meister Konrad.
**[00:21] kon**
Meister Marie!
**[00:23] mar**
Meister Kon...rad?
**[00:25] kon**
You were safe!
**[00:27] kon**
We were worried, because we suddenly
couldn't get in touch with Akihabara.
**[00:32] kon**
What in the world happened?
**[00:35] mar**
*That's what I want to ask you.*
***SIGN*** Episode 9 Criminal Act
**[02:25] nao**
Whoa!
**[02:27] anc**
What's the matter, Father?
**[02:29] nao**
K-Kids shouldn't look!
**[02:31] anc**
Okay.
**[02:32] mar**
You shouldn't be looking, either!
And, honestly, neither should I!
**[02:37] kon**
Isn't this place great?
**[02:39] kon**
Around here, the automata that I
have adjusted are quite popular.
**[02:45] mar**
*This is corrupt, depraved, immoral...*
**[02:49] kon**
This way, please.
**[02:52] kon**
I can't say this too loudly,
but this is a black market for automata,
**[02:57] kon**
and we even deal with the
authorities under the table.
**[03:01] mar**
Wow, if we have this kind of workshop...
**[03:04] mar**
Put RyuZU onto that hanger there.
**[03:06] mar**
We're going to cool her down slowly.
**[03:08] nao**
R-Roger.
**[03:16] mar**
Meister Konrad, please keep him alive.
**[03:20] mar**
He's magnetized, but if
his brain is still intact...
**[03:23] kon**
So we need a spare body, right?
**[03:26] mar**
If possible, within the next 12 hours.
**[03:29] kon**
That's a tall order.
I will ask around, however.
**[03:34] mar**
That's enough. Thank you.
**[03:41] anc**
Father, my sister is going to be okay, right?
**[03:44] nao**
RyuZU did everything she needed to do.
**[03:48] nao**
Therefore, there's no need to worry!
**[03:52] anc**
Does that hurt, Father?
**[03:55] nao**
Not at all! I'm fine. This is nothing!
**[03:59] mar**
Stop acting tough and get that
treated, before it gets infected.
**[04:02] nao**
Yeah, thanks.
**[04:05] anc**
Mother.
**[04:08] mar**
Don't call me that anymore.
**[04:10] mar**
Now, let me take a look at that.
**[04:12] nao**
Okay.
**[04:16] nao**
Hey, Marie, is there really any
point in waking this dude up now?
**[04:21] ver**
What did you say?
**[04:22] ver**
Hey, how dare you talk about
Vermouth Handsome Face like that?
**[04:34] ver**
What the hell is this?!
**[04:36] mar**
Quiet down.
**[04:38] mar**
All I did was connect your
brain to an automaton.
**[04:41] ver**
And you had to pick this
pleasure automaton?
**[04:45] ver**
Does male dignity mean nothing to you?!
**[04:48] mar**
Why would I care about that?
**[04:50] ver**
* She hooked up a cyborg to an automaton*
* of a completely different make.*
**[04:55] ver**
*That's far beyond genius level.*
**[04:58] ver**
*Is this bitch the devil?*
**[05:02] nao**
You'd better not resist her.
**[05:04] nao**
She's all riled up because
Halter's not waking up.
**[05:08] mar**
He doesn't need to know that.
**[05:10] mar**
Tell us every little detail you found out.
**[05:14] mar**
What is that big thing planning on doing?
**[05:17] ver**
Are you seriously asking?
**[05:19] mar**
Huh?
**[05:21] ver**
All the pieces are in place.
**[05:24] ver**
And you still don't get it?
**[05:28] nao**
Those shitheads "won't do anything," right?
**[05:32] mar**
Huh?
**[05:34] ver**
Hey, now. Who is this cute-faced kid who's
busting out these nasty theories?
**[05:40] mar**
What are you talking about?
**[05:41] ver**
What do you mean?
**[05:43] ver**
The moment that thing appeared before
the government, everything was settled,
**[05:47] ver**
naïve little girl.
***SIGN*** 10:17 Kasumigaseki Grid Prime Minister's Official Residence
**[05:52] pri**
We put in a request with the
International Territory Administration
**[05:56] pri**
for the use of the Tall Wand
on the Akihabara Grid.
**[06:02] kar**
*Are you serious?*
**[06:04] kar**
*The Tall Wand is a weapon of mass destruction*
**[06:07] kar**
* that's dropped from equatorial orbit*
* that can easily erase a city or two.*
**[06:21] pri**
Now that the existence of an
electromagnetic weapon has become public,
**[06:23] pri**
we won't be able to escape reproach and
punishment from the international community.
**[06:27] pri**
Let us be sincere now.
**[06:29] def**
Did you say "sincere"?!
**[06:31] def**
All you want to do is avoid taking
responsibility for tolerating
**[06:35] def**
the remains of Shiga and the Yatsukahagi!
**[06:37] pri**
Watch your mouth!
**[06:38] def**
Shut up! The army is now going
to take care of this situation.
**[06:43] ind**
The army?! You couldn't even
scratch the Yatsukahagi!
**[06:47] fin**
Combined with the Kyoto purge,
you're nothing but a useless waste of money!
**[06:51] def**
You bastard! I dare you to say that again!
**[06:56] mar**
Just by being there, both the government
and army are going to destroy themselves?
**[07:01] mar**
That's why it doesn't have to move?
**[07:04] ver**
That's right. This isn't
merely a terrorist attack.
**[07:09] ver**
This is a full-blown coup d'état.
**[07:14] nao**
And there is one more reason that
weapon can't move, at the moment.
**[07:19] mar**
Can't move?
**[07:20] ver**
Hey, brat, how can you even say that?
**[07:22] nao**
That thing's currently engaged its 1,033
clockwork generators to charge its energy.
**[07:30] nao**
It'll be about...
**[07:32] nao**
66.5 hours until it's finished.
**[07:34] mar**
Clockwork? I thought it's
an electromagnetic weapon.
**[07:38] ver**
Hybrid electromagnetic strategic
mobile weapon "Yatsukahagi,"
**[07:42] ver**
a thing that combines clockwork technology
with electromagnetic technology.
**[07:47] mar**
Yatsukahagi, a hybrid of clockwork
and electromagnetic technology.
**[07:51] ver**
Did you see the blueprints?
**[07:53] ver**
No, that wouldn't explain this.
**[07:56] ver**
What in the world are you?
**[07:58] nao**
Which means that they are planning
on doing something after this.
**[08:05] mar**
*What more are they planning?*
**[08:07] mar**
* Any more and it'll stop being*
* just this country's problem.*
**[08:10] mar**
*Are they thinking of starting a world war?*
**[08:13] mar**
*What can we even do in 66.5 hours?*
**[08:22] nao**
All right, AnchoR, it's time for an outing.
**[08:25] anc**
Huh?
**[08:26] mar**
What are you talking about?
**[08:30] mar**
Where are you going?
**[08:33] nao**
To do what we can.
***SIGN*** 11:00 Akihabara Grid
**[08:43] ope**
Energy level at 12%.
**[08:47] ope**
At the current pace, we will not meet
our target time for remobilization.
**[08:50] off**
The chance of another attack
from the army is low.
**[08:54] off**
Lower the energy levels of the weapon systems.
**[08:56] ope**
Roger.
**[08:58] off**
Just 66 hours.
**[09:01] off**
Then our greatest wish will finally
come true, Your Excellency.
**[09:05] gen**
Yeah.
**[09:06] gen**
*It's not over yet, is it, Y?*
**[09:11] gen**
*What's your move?*
***SIGN*** 11:20 Ueno Grid
**[09:17] nao**
All right, AnchoR, let's have a ton of fun!
**[09:33] nao**
What is it?
Did you see something interesting?
**[09:36] anc**
I want permission.
**[09:38] anc**
Can I look at that place?
**[09:40] nao**
Super okay!
**[09:43] nao**
I told you, right?
**[09:44] nao**
You can do everything you want!
**[09:47] anc**
Everything?
**[09:49] nao**
Of course!
**[09:52] anc**
Okay.
**[09:59] nao**
Man, being alive is not hard at all,
because my daughter is so cute!
**[10:05] mar**
Can I ask you again?
What did you come here for?
**[10:10] nao**
Right now, I'm doing what needs to be done.
**[10:12] nao**
All the things AnchoR was
unable to do for the last 1,000 years.
**[10:15] nao**
I'm going to make them come
true, now! With these hands!
**[10:20] mar**
You're just doing that to have fun yourself.
**[10:23] mar**
And that outfit.
**[10:25] nao**
We are wanted, you know?
We gotta put on disguises.
**[10:29] ---**
Huh?
**[10:31] nao**
Wait, could it be that I'm cute?
**[10:34] mar**
Die.
**[10:35] anc**
Father, now I want permission to go there.
**[10:39] nao**
Sure thing.
**[10:40] anc**
Your dad's going to allow everything!
**[10:45] anc**
Oh?
**[10:51] anc**
Mother, come with us?
**[10:56] mar**
I told you to stop calling me that.
**[11:04] mar**
*What am I doing at a time like this?*
**[11:14] anc**
Father, is it okay for me to
think that I want that?
**[11:18] nao**
Of course!
**[11:30] shop**
Welcome.
**[11:32] shop**
Are you shopping with your older sister?
**[11:38] shop**
Oh, I'm going to pull out all
the stops for my cute little customer.
**[11:45] nao**
AnchoR, your angelic cuteness is
going to be the death of your daddy.
**[11:51] anc**
Father, you're cute, too.
**[11:55] nao**
Here you go, AnchoR.
**[12:01] anc**
Thank you, Father!
**[12:14] ann**
*After the terrorist attack last night,
the Akihabara Grid has been locked down.*
**[12:19] ann**
*At this point, there is no statement as
to when the lockdown will be lifted.*
**[12:22] ann**
*The number of citizens demanding a
government explanation is steadily increasing.*
**[12:26] mar**
Everybody is so carefree and so
clueless about the impending danger.
**[12:31] ---**
Oh, good job!
**[12:34] mar**
* At least you guys should*
* have some sense about that!*
**[12:41] mar**
* What can I do until that*
* thing starts moving again?*
**[12:46] mar**
*What should I do?*
**[12:53] anc**
It was my first time playing,
but I got this myself.
**[12:59] anc**
So it's for you, Mother.
**[13:06] anc**
It plays this pretty song.
**[13:11] mar**
I see. Thank you.
**[13:14] anc**
The city is so much fun!
I've never done anything like this before.
**[13:18] anc**
So many lights and—
**[13:19] mar**
*We don't even have time to be doing this.*
**[13:23] anc**
So then, finally, on my fifth try...
**[13:27] anc**
Mother?
**[13:29] (Flashback) nao**
Do you understand?
**[13:31] (Flashback) nao**
You are allowed to do anything you want.
**[13:38] anc**
Mother, I want a command.
**[13:42] anc**
Mother, you're crying, asking for help...
**[13:47] mar**
Huh?
**[13:51] anc**
I want a command for helping.
**[13:55] mar**
*What are you talking about?*
**[13:57] mar**
*You're just a doll.*
**[14:01] anc**
Can I not help?
**[14:04] mar**
*This is... This is basically...*
**[14:10] mar**
Then go right now and destroy
that thing, the Yatsukahagi!
**[14:14] mar**
If you're a weapon,
you can do that, can't you?!
**[14:20] anc**
Okay! Then I'll destroy it,
so don't cry, Mother.
**[14:25] mar**
Wh-What are you talking ab—
**[14:29] mar**
Wh-What's wrong?!
**[14:31] nao**
Sorry, could you not yell so much?
**[14:38] mar**
Where are your headphones?!
**[14:41] nao**
They broke back in Akihabara.
**[14:45] mar**
Then that should be the first thing—
**[14:47] nao**
Once I find what I'm looking for,
I'll run and get some.
**[14:51] mar**
What? What are you looking for?
**[14:54] nao**
Isn't it obvious? A chance.
**[14:57] mar**
A chance to beat up the people
who dared to do that to RyuZU.
**[15:08] mar**
* So he was thinking about nothing*
* but that from the beginning.*
**[15:14] nao**
So multiple grids affect each other, right?
**[15:19] mar**
Yes.
**[15:20] mar**
The State Central Territory Control Tower
and the Pillar of Heaven are the center.
**[15:25] nao**
I found a way into Akihabara.
The next thing is...
**[15:30] nao**
Well, finding out what AnchoR
wants to do is important, too!
**[15:40] anc**
I want to destroy that thing.
**[15:42] anc**
Then I can help Mother.
**[15:46] nao**
What did you say to her?!
**[15:48] mar**
Well, if she can destroy it...
**[15:50] nao**
Veto! Veto!
**[15:52] mar**
You're a walking landmine!
What did you think AnchoR is?!
**[15:56] mar**
What do you mean?
**[15:58] mar**
She's the strongest weapon
of the Initial-Y series!
**[16:02] nao**
Don't you even dare! She's my daughter!
**[16:04] nao**
Besides, she's charging right now.
**[16:07] nao**
She couldn't even fight at
full power for a second!
**[16:10] mar**
Huh?
**[16:11] nao**
Besides,
**[16:13] nao**
making a small child shoulder the
burden so you can consider it done?
**[16:16] nao**
Don't you have any pride?!
**[16:24] anc**
I'm... sorry.
**[16:31] mar**
* What the heck? I was getting all worked*
* up alone and getting nowhere. I just...*
**[16:43] mar**
I'm sorry, but I'm going to head back.
**[16:45] mar**
AnchoR, please take care of Naoto.
**[16:49] anc**
A request? Okay.
**[16:53] anc**
That's more important than an order.
**[16:57] mao**
She's actually really amazing.
She's a genius, after all.
**[17:01] anc**
Genius?
**[17:02] nao**
She does always worry about
pointless things, though.
**[17:07] nao**
But when it's time to get things
done, she gets them done.
**[17:10] nao**
Unlike someone like me.
**[17:33] ver**
Hey, kiddo, I thought you'd be
coming home in the morning.
**[17:37] ver**
This is some kind of sick joke.
**[17:39] ver**
She did that in just four hours.
**[17:42] ver**
Is she really a human,
made of flesh and bone?
**[17:47] anc**
Father, is this that "genius" you mentioned?
**[17:50] nao**
Yes.
**[17:52] nao**
*Why?*
**[17:55] nao**
*Why...*
**[17:59] nao**
*isn't that me?*
**[18:03] nao**
*Damn it.*
**[18:08] mar**
Argh!
**[18:12] mar**
I'm out of sugar.
**[18:14] mar**
Chocolate.
**[18:16] mar**
Chocolate.
**[18:21] mar**
Thank you.
**[18:25] mar**
I feel better.
**[18:27] mar**
Oh, you're back?
**[18:29] nao**
Yeah.
**[18:30] mar**
I see you found what you were looking for.
**[18:33] mar**
Can you help me, then?
**[18:35] mar**
I need three resonance movement connectors.
**[18:38] nao**
I'm sorry. I can't make those.
**[18:41] mar**
Then, just the circuits.
**[18:43] nao**
No can do.
**[18:45] mar**
What? That's middle school level stuff.
**[18:49] mar**
How did you repair RyuZU?!
**[18:51] nao**
By feeling.
**[18:52] mar**
What?
**[18:53] nao**
I was trying all sorts of things, not this,
not that, until I heard a good sound.
**[19:00] nao**
Then she woke up.
**[19:03] mar**
No way. No one could repair
something as ridiculous as RyuZU
**[19:07] mar**
without having acquired
any theoretical knowledge.
**[19:11] nao**
Whatever. I was able to fix her.
**[19:14] mar**
*What is this idiot talking about?*
**[19:17] mar**
* Wait. Maybe we, who think that we know*
* things, are missing something fundamental.*
**[19:24] nao**
Hey, Marie.
**[19:27] nao**
The Pillar of Heaven is the center
of all the grids in Japan, right?
**[19:31] mar**
*Naoto, what are you planning?*
**[19:38] nao**
We're going to take over
the Pillar of Heaven.
**[19:43] ver**
You're seriously funny! I want to kiss you!
**[19:48] anc**
Father, you're amazing!
**[19:49] mar**
You're insane.
**[19:52] nao**
Who was it that claimed
responsibility for that crime?
**[19:55] nao**
We did.
**[19:57] nao**
Who are the ones considered to be
the perpetrators of this event?
**[20:00] nao**
We are.
**[20:01] nao**
Then why don't we act accordingly?
**[20:05] nao**
Coup d'état?
**[20:06] nao**
Conspiracy?
**[20:08] nao**
There was nothing of that sort.
**[20:10] nao**
What happens if we make it so that
everything was the work of us evil villains?
**[20:17] nao**
This is how we throw those
people into the fire pit.
**[20:20] nao**
The fire pit is Akihabara.
The Pillar of Heaven is the fuel.
**[20:25] mar**
Wait, we're talking about
the center of the nation.
**[20:28] mar**
We really don't have enough people.
**[20:31] nao**
I have an idea where to get
a spare body for Halter.
**[20:34] ver**
If we need people, let me do my part, too.
**[20:38] mar**
With this thing, we're going to be
criminals on an unprecedented scale.
**[20:43] mar**
What benefit could this have for you?
**[20:51] ver**
It's fun. What other reason does a man need?
**[20:58] anc**
Mother, are you scared?
**[21:01] anc**
I promise I'll protect you.
**[21:06] nao**
Hey, Marie.
**[21:07] nao**
Haven't you ever thought it would be
incredibly fun to kick the sandcastle
**[21:12] nao**
that people are so desperately trying to build?
**[21:18] (Flashback) mar**
I bet it will feel amazing.
**[21:23] mar**
* I was too caught up in being harried*
* and forgot what's important.*
**[21:28] mar**
*We're not the defenders of justice or anything.*
**[21:33] mar**
You're right. I bet it would
be the best thing ever!

It is out of our control.
**[21:48] wom**
We cannot come up with a single
countermeasure against the threat

that lies deep beneath Tokyo.
**[21:55] wom**
With that said, I am but

If only you were here.
**[23:41] ver**
The occupation of the Pillar of Heaven.
**[23:43] ver**
In order to do that, it was
necessary to revive Halter.
**[23:48] ver**
On the battlefield,
**[23:49] ver**
Marie sets the plan of connecting Halter's
brain to an automaton in motion.
**[23:55] ver**
Next time, "Progressor."
**[23:58] ver**
Knowing that old man Halter,
**[24:00] ver**
even if he's dead, smelling the scent
