[00:05] ---
Hey Koyama, do you have
Mr. Hanazawa’s manuscript?
[00:09] ---
Sorry, he said he’ll be
done sometime tonight.
[00:13] ---
Guess we have no choice.
[00:15] ---
Oh, one more thing.
[00:18] ---
When you get
the manuscript,
[00:20] ---
tell Mr. Hanazawa
that it will be his last.
[00:26] ---
Yes.
It looks good.
[00:29] ---
Good work.
[00:31] ---
I’ll take the manuscript
home for now,
[00:33] ---
then take it directly
to the printers.
[00:35] ---
I’m sorry for always
being last minute.
[00:39] ---
Not to worry.
[00:40] ---
There’s one other
thing I wish to tell you.
[00:45] ---
Oh! I also wanted to
tell you something!
[00:48] ---
This idea came to me for an exciting turn
of events starting from the next episode!
[00:53] ---
It’s science
fiction, after all.
[00:55] ---
Whether it be antigravity
or time machines,
[00:57] ---
I believe it’s my job to
reinterpret these things
[01:00] ---
and make them easier
for everyone to understand,
[01:02] ---
in order to give the
children a dream.
[01:06] ---
So, about how the
story develops...
[01:08] ---
Woah!
Kengo Hanazawa is a genius!
[01:12] ---
That is some crazy turn of events.
[01:14] ---
How could I possibly tell him
that we’re dropping his series?
[01:17] ---
Heck with this job.
[01:20] ---
I hope Earth will get crushed
and this world will end.

[01:25] ---
I'll take it from here.
[01:27] ---
Oh, Kadode,
[01:29] ---
what about school?
[01:30] ---
I was at tutoring school.
[01:32] ---
Today is August 31.
[01:34] ---
It’s still summer vacation.
[01:36] ---
And Dad, you stink of alcohol.
[01:40] ---
Oh, sorry.

[01:58] ---
I repeat.
At around 1:30 pm,

a giant flying object
appeared above Tokyo Bay,
[02:04] ---

[02:06] ---

Due to the declaration

[02:15] ---
entry to all 23 wards

[02:18] ---
There are currently fires erupting

[02:22] ---
Oh no, oh no, oh no!

[02:59] ---

[03:03] ---
Kadode.
[03:05] ---
Sorry to leave you alone.
[03:10] ---
Nobuo.
Nobuo? Nobuo!
[03:12] ---
Kadode...
[03:14] ---
Nobuo! Nobuo!
[03:17] ---
Nobuo!
[03:23] ---
I can’t find
Sumie anywhere!
[03:27] ---
Hako!
[03:29] ---
Kimi, did you
find my sister?
[03:31] ---
Not at all.
[03:33] ---
Does the fact her location information
is cut off mean she’s outside?
[03:39] ---
Kadode?
[03:42] ---
Um, excuse me.
[03:45] ---
Who are you guys?
[03:48] ---
And, also,
[03:51] ---
where am I?
[03:59] ---
Oh.
[04:01] ---
Um, excuse me for a moment.
[04:13] ---
The person inside...
[04:14] ---
he died, after all.
[04:17] ---
Nobuo Koyama.
[04:19] ---
I'm sure you must
be confused, but
[04:21] ---
please stay calm
and listen to me.
[04:23] ---
More than eight years ago,
you fell unconscious.
[04:27] ---
To be exact, your body was taken
over by an invader during that time.
[04:34] ---
Eight years?
Invader?
[04:37] ---
We are presently
living in a society
[04:37] ---
Area B
[04:40] ---
far different from
the world you know.
[04:45] ---
People call this world
“Eight point three two,
[04:49] ---

Summer Break”.
[05:03] ---
What's this fog?
[05:05] ---
Apparently coming from the debris
of the ruins of the mother ship,
[05:08] ---
the effect of F element
energy or something.
[05:12] ---
Mother ship?
[05:13] ---
The gigantic invader spaceship
that appeared over Tokyo.
[05:18] ---
You do at least know
about that, don’t you?
[05:20] ---
Unidentified

[05:20] ---
WARNING
Unidentified Flying Object Heading
Towards Daiba, Minato City
[05:23] ---
That…
[05:27] ---
The catastrophe caused by the mother ship
was on August thirty-first.
[05:32] ---
The "Asterisks" that
appeared at the same time
[05:34] ---
as the mother ship exploded
four years later ended life.
[05:37] ---
That is known as
eight point three two.
[05:39] ---
Now we’ve ended up
with this shit-like world.
[05:44] ---
Asterisks?
[05:46] ---
What's that?
[05:48] ---
Those are Asterisks.
[05:51] ---
If you touch one,
it’ll kill you instantly,
[05:53] ---
so be careful.
[05:54] ---
There’s a lot less
compared to before,
[05:57] ---
but some are still
flying from some place.
[06:00] ---
The shiny fog that appeared out of
nowhere on August 32d,
[06:04] ---
this is called the Asterisks that caused
the humanpopulation to decimate.
[06:08] ---
At the same time Japan
decided to explode the mothership

[06:11] ---

people from the Asterisks.
[06:14] ---
So, Japan was able to minimize a great deal
of the damage caused by the Asterick,
[06:17] ---
but sadly Tokyo’s city center
did not escape annihilation.
[06:22] ---
Kadode!
[06:24] ---
You said her
name earlier, too.
[06:26] ---
Who is Kadode?
[06:28] ---
My daughter.
[06:29] ---
You have
a daughter, Nobuo?
[06:32] ---
I was always too busy with work
and never really spent time with her.
[06:36] ---
She hates me.
[06:38] ---
If she were still alive,
[06:41] ---
I wish to talk
to her properly.
[06:44] ---
Hako!
[06:50] ---
Sumie!
[06:53] ---
Umeda Third Evacuation Center
B Entrance
[06:55] ---
Umeda Third Evacuation Center
B Entrance
[06:57] ---
I figured this would
eventually happen.
[07:00] ---
Sumie was inviting
everyone here to join
[07:03] ---
“New Japan Harmony”
which people found annoying.
[07:08] ---
Sumie isn’t the
type to go outside
[07:11] ---
on her own while
it’s raining Asterisks.
[07:14] ---
What is this
New Japan something?
[07:17] ---
“New Japan Harmony”
was originally
[07:19] ---
a youth extremist group
called “Youth United Front”.
[07:23] ---
Before, they were a group of idiots
who massacred invaders,
[07:27] ---
but after eight point three two,
they improved a bit by changing their direction
[07:31] ---
and began protecting
the invaders.
[07:35] ---
Therefore, I believe parasitic
half-invaders like you, Nobuo,
[07:38] ---
would also be among
who they protect.
[07:41] ---
Who are these “invaders”?
[07:45] ---
The aliens aboard
the mother ship.
[07:48] ---
We refer to them
as “invaders”.
[07:52] ---
The one who took over
your body is one of them.
[07:58] ---
Oh, sorry.
[08:00] ---
I haven't properly
introduced myself.
[08:03] ---
I'm Kimika Ando.
[08:05] ---
She’s Hako Shimoda,
whom I’ve known since we were little.
[08:08] ---
She’s the younger sister
of the deceased Sumie.
[08:12] ---
And you, or rather the person
who was inside you,
[08:15] ---
had protected Sumie
and us the whole time.
[08:19] ---
I...was
[08:21] ---
protecting you?
[08:23] ---
Yes.
[08:24] ---
That’s why Sumie, Hako and I
were able to live here safely.
[08:29] ---
But recently, Nobuo
had been acting strangely,
[08:33] ---
so maybe Sumie
was worried
[08:35] ---
that Nobuo’s true identity
would be revealed,
[08:38] ---
and was anxious to join
"New Japan Harmony".
[08:43] ---
Countries continue to engage
in fruitless conflict
[08:46] ---
under the pretext
of human survival.
[08:50] ---
For us, whose population has
plummeted to one-twentieth,
[08:54] ---
the most important thing is
not to fight but to help each other.
[08:59] ---
Let's build a new worldview together with
"New Japan Harmony"
[09:03] ---
which represents the
Japanese government.
[09:09] ---
Is this person a religious
leader or something?
[09:12] ---
This guy predicted the mother ship’s
explosion right before it happened, but...
[09:16] ---
He’s nothing but an idiot
[09:18] ---
who only talks about freedom
and creation with no action.
[09:21] ---
But such a person
has become a hero
[09:23] ---
to some people
who have lost hope.
[09:28] ---
Perhaps even
me right now...
[09:32] ---
If I keep watching
stuff like this,
[09:34] ---
I’ll end up attracting
attention from those guys.
[09:37] ---
Those guys?
[09:38] ---
Fujin #9.
[09:40] ---
Crazy combat
vehicles powered by AIs.
[09:43] ---
They will attack any human
who is not under their control.
[09:51] ---
It's about time for dinner.
[09:56] ---
Nobuo, you do have your own
smart phone, do you?
[09:59] ---
Probably in my pocket.
[10:09] ---
Dear Mr. Nobuo,
I’m the one who was inside you.
Eight years ago, I became a parasitic
infestation within you, a dying man.
I moved to Osaka, where I acted and
lived like a human being.
Although I know I was being very selfish,
I was able to enjoy a humble but happy time.
[10:10] ---
I'm the one
who was inside you.
[10:14] ---
Eight years ago,
[10:15] ---
I became a parasitic infestation
within you, a dying man.
[10:18] ---
I moved to Osaka,
[10:20] ---
where I acted and lived
like a human being.
[10:23] ---
Nighttime noise complaints are increasing.
We will take measures as soon as we receive the report.
[10:24] ---
Although I know taking
your identity is rude,
[10:27] ---
I was able to enjoy a
humble but happy time.
[10:31] ---
However, human
life force is tremendous,
[10:35] ---
and your consciousness invaded me
in an attempt to regain your body.
[10:41] ---
For the past four years
since August thirty-second,
[10:45] ---
I have endured with all my
heart to fulfill my mission
[10:49] ---
to protect Sumie,
Hako and Kimika.
[10:52] ---
To receive rations, activate the management app
and provide proof of identity.
[10:52] ---
However, since
Sumie disappeared,
[10:55] ---
I have lost my
purpose in living and
[10:58] ---
feel my consciousness
rapidly diminishing.
[11:01] ---
Once again, I sincerely apologize for
the inconvenience I caused.
[11:06] ---
As for your family, Nobuo,
[11:09] ---
I have not received any news.
[11:14] ---
But I am certain that
they are alive somewhere.
[11:19] ---
I wish all of
you good health.
[11:22] ---
I wish all of you good health.
[11:22] ---
The person inside.
[11:23] ---
The person inside.
[11:30] ---
Kadode.
[11:46] ---
I understand how you feel right now.
You probably want to leave right away.
[11:51] ---
But honestly, I don't believe your family
is still alive, Nobuo.
[11:56] ---
Besides, we're in Osaka.
[11:58] ---
Do you plan to
walk to Tokyo?
[12:00] ---
Then do you two plan to
continue living here?
[12:04] ---
I can't be expected to believe this stuff
unless I take a look outside.
[12:11] ---
If you stay here, you won't starve,
since we do have relief supplies
[12:14] ---
Also, this area is
controlled by the U.S.,
[12:17] ---
so there are hardly any conflicts
and the Fujin #9s won’t attack.
[12:22] ---
It seems peaceful
at first glance,
[12:25] ---
but in reality,
a power caste has formed,
[12:27] ---
violence and
inequality are spreading,
[12:29] ---
and people who don't obey
are forced into forced labor.
[12:33] ---
And if that doesn't work...
[12:40] ---
But if we can join up
with the New Japan Harmony
[12:43] ---
that my sister told us about
[12:45] ---
they might accept us.
[12:49] ---
I definitely don't
want to just be tamed
[12:51] ---
and die without
being able to do anything.
[12:57] ---
Nobuo, we’ll go
outside with you.
[13:19] ---
From here on, keep an eye
out for those guys.
[13:22] ---
The guys you
were talking about?
[13:24] ---
Fujin #9.
[13:25] ---
Because once we
leave the restricted area,
[13:27] ---
we’re no longer subject
to their management.
[13:30] ---
But we no longer have any
choice but to proceed forward.
[13:33] ---
We’ll go as far as
we can overnight.
[13:42] ---
I was able to reach a Kansai
member of New Japan Harmony.
[13:46] ---
He says to continue walking to a location
about a day from here by foot.
[14:09] ---
Darn. I can’t
walk any further.
[14:12] ---
But Kimi, you were the most
excited at the start.
[14:15] ---
I'm totally
the indoor type.
[14:17] ---
Don't be
so hard on me.
[14:21] ---
Huh?
[14:28] ---
That thing called Fujin
hasn’t appeared at all.
[14:31] ---
We might just be able to
walk all the way to Tokyo.
[14:35] ---
First, I’ll get you to the New Japan
Harmony rendezvous point.
[14:40] ---
After that...
[14:42] ---
Then it’s goodbye
when we get there.
[14:46] ---
You're right.
[14:47] ---
We plan to arrive there
sometime tonight
[14:47] ---
We'll be waiting
at the promised location.
[14:48] ---
I need to go to Tokyo
and talk to Kadode.
[14:56] ---
However, if Tokyo is really
like you explain it to be,
[15:02] ---
that would mean Kadode
hated me to the end.
[15:06] ---
I’m sure she’s doing
just fine somewhere.
[15:09] ---
Besides, I doubt your
daughter hates you for real.
[15:15] ---
Because, you know.
[15:17] ---
Girls are complicated.
[15:28] ---
Huh?
[15:31] ---
New Japan Harmony
[15:31] ---
We plan to arrive there sometime tonight.
[15:31] ---
Just to be sure, you will be bringing
the “Invader” with you, right?
[15:39] ---
That is a communication tool that
is not approved by the government.
[15:43] ---
We demand you to launch the management
authentication app immediately.
[15:49] ---
Warning.
[15:50] ---
We demand you to launch the administrative
authentication app immediately.
[15:54] ---
If you do not comply,
we will attack you.
[15:59] ---
They’ve started
to shoot again.
[16:08] ---
Hako!
[16:11] ---
Hako, hang in there!
[16:16] ---
Don't worry, Hako!
[16:17] ---
The bullet grazed you.
[16:21] ---
Hang in there, Hako.
[16:24] ---
Hang in there, Hako.
[16:26] ---
Hang in there, Hako.
[16:29] ---
Hang in there, Hako.
[16:33] ---
Just ahead of there.
[16:39] ---
Ishima Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
[16:39] ---
Office
[16:44] ---
Excuse me.
[16:47] ---
Who are you talking to?
[16:48] ---
The homes here have
been empty for some time.
[16:56] ---
Found it.
[17:00] ---
She's asleep.
[17:01] ---
Is she all right?
[17:03] ---
I don’t know much
about medicine.
[17:06] ---
But carelessly connecting
to the internet is dangerous.
[17:09] ---
She needs to be treated properly
at New Japan Harmony right away.
[17:16] ---
Nobuo.
[17:18] ---
Yes?
[17:22] ---
N-No, never mind.
[17:24] ---
Let’s go and look
for something to eat.
[17:32] ---
I published that magazine.
[17:35] ---
Nobuo,
[17:36] ---
The New Heroine of this Era
[17:36] ---
Miyoshi
[17:36] ---
you were an
manga editor, right?
[17:40] ---
Well, something like that.
[17:43] ---
Come to think of it,
[17:44] ---
when you first appeared,
[17:48] ---
in your hand was only
a manga manuscript.
[17:51] ---
Manuscript...
[17:53] ---
Letters to
Mr. Kengo Hanazawa
[17:54] ---
That was
Mr. Hanazawa's manuscript.
[17:58] ---
That man has continued writing manga,
even after I was gone.
[18:04] ---
Well, naturally, I guess.
[18:11] ---
Kimika! Run!
[18:13] ---
Not to worry.
[18:13] ---
These people are members
of New Japan Harmony.
[18:18] ---
That man’s the invader?
[18:20] ---
Any traces of parasitism?
[18:22] ---
The left side of his face.
[18:23] ---
Ah, um…
[18:26] ---
I simply escorted
the girls here, so…
[18:29] ---
I’m taking you to
the sanctuary now.
[18:32] ---
Restrain him.
[18:40] ---
Don't be too
rough on him.
[18:42] ---
He's a valuable
sample to us.
[18:44] ---
Sorry, Nobuo.
[18:46] ---
They said accepting us was
conditional upon us handing you over.
[18:51] ---
But I thought this would
definitely be better.
[18:55] ---
If you follow the orders
of these people, Nobuo,
[18:57] ---
you will be protected
in a safe place.
[18:59] ---
Protected?
[19:00] ---
I don’t need that!
[19:03] ---
Hey, stop struggling.
[19:04] ---
You'll suffocate.
[19:06] ---
Okay, breathe slowly.
[19:10] ---
Hey, you said
there’d be no violence.
[19:31] ---
Run!
[19:33] ---
You’re meeting
your daughter, right?
[19:46] ---
Damn!
Don't let him get away!
[20:00] ---
Get in!
[20:11] ---
Those guys are being
way too desperate!
[20:26] ---
If we get this far, we should be
out of their area of influence.
[20:30] ---
Sorry for the
late explanation.
[20:33] ---
We’re members of the private
security organization “SHIP”.
[20:37] ---
We headed here after receiving notice
[20:40] ---
that the conflicting New Japan Harmony
would be active in that location.
[20:44] ---
Who are you?
A former SES Engineer?
[20:48] ---
No, I'm just a...
[20:51] ---
Just a manga editor, I guess.
[20:54] ---
We're withdrawing
from this area
[20:57] ---
and will head in the
direction of Nagoya.
[20:59] ---
Nagoya?
[21:01] ---
Um, I’ll be getting off here.
[21:04] ---
I plan to go to Tokyo.
[21:06] ---
Tokyo?
[21:08] ---
What part of Tokyo, old man?
[21:11] ---
Setagaya.
[21:13] ---
My family lives there.
[21:18] ---
Most of Tokyo's
twenty-three cities are gone.
[21:22] ---
It’s all become
part of Tokyo Bay.
[21:27] ---
I understand
your longing to return,
[21:29] ---
but I really think
it’s meaningless.
[21:31] ---
Besides, we're in the
middle of an operation now,
[21:34] ---
so we can’t just release you
without authorization from above.
[21:39] ---
So, there you have it.
[21:40] ---
Sorry, old man,
[21:41] ---
but you’ll
hafta be patient.
[21:45] ---
Huh?
[21:47] ---
Wait, wait...

You’re kidding, right?
[21:49] ---
Huh? What?
[21:49] ---
What’s the matter, Makoto?
[21:52] ---
You’re Kadode’s Dad, aren’t you?
[21:57] ---
You know Kadode?
[22:00] ---
Here. Look here.
[22:04] ---
Why do you have this?
[22:06] ---
I was with the two of them
during university summer camp.
[22:10] ---
University...
[22:25] ---
The frequency needle broke
[22:28] ---
Dead Dead Demon's
Dededede Destruction
[22:29] ---
Making me feel like an alien
[22:31] ---
People's hearts have slipped away,
so I tried lifting up my skirt
[22:37] ---
I'm tired of hearing
the carefree positive slogans
[22:43] ---
You're the only one who smiles at me
[22:49] ---
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
[22:52] ---
I can see the truth
[22:53] ---
I can peek through
[22:54] ---
The words that speak from here
Can you hear it?
[23:01] ---
Justice has overdosed
[23:03] ---
I find myself in a crowd
[23:05] ---
Just because I can't see your face
everything becomes boring
[23:10] ---
I'm sure it'll be sunny tomorrow
[23:13] ---
Let's see the end of the world
[23:16] ---
So come closer and closer to me
[23:20] ---
We'll be together until we die
[23:22] ---
Because you'll always be smiling
[23:25] ---
It's some worthless emotion
[23:28] ---
If we hold hands, do you think we can fly?
[23:31] ---
Bye bye bye bye
[23:34] ---
Lovely days
[23:37] ---
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
[23:41] ---
Alone in a world of lies
[23:44] ---
Today you’re still my absolute
[23:47] ---
DEDEDEDE
