[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] ---
    Send to
    Shogakukan
    Editorial Department
    Nobuo Koyama
[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.
[01:45] ---

    We interrupt the regular program
    to bring you a newsflash.
[01:49] ---
    At around 1:30 pm,
[01:51] ---
    a giant flying object
    appeared above Tokyo Bay,
[01:54] ---
    and currently appears
    to be heading north
[01:56] ---
    at a speed of thirty
    kilometers an hour.
[01:58] ---
    Unidentified
    Phenomenon
[01:58] ---
    WARNING
    Unidentified Flying Object Heading
    Towards Daiba, Minato City
[01:58] ---
    I repeat.
    At around 1:30 pm,
[02:01] ---
    a giant flying object
    appeared above Tokyo Bay,
[02:04] ---
    and currently appears
    to be heading north
[02:06] ---
    at a speed of thirty
    kilometers an hour.
[02:07] ---
    Smaller flying objects
    have just exited the saucer!
[02:12] ---
    Due to the declaration
    of a state of emergency,
[02:15] ---
    entry to all 23 wards
    of Tokyo is prohibited.
[02:18] ---
    There are currently fires erupting
    in various parts of the city,
[02:20] ---
    -Sir...
    -and the situation is very chaotic.
[02:22] ---
    Oh no, oh no, oh no!

[02:47] ---
    Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
[02:59] ---
    Daddy!
[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] ---
    Show your ID
    when leaving
[04:49] ---
    Third Evacuation Center
    B Entrance
[04:50] ---
    the Never-ending
    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
    Phenomenon
[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
[06:08] ---
    All you need to know about “8.32” in 10 minutes
[06:08] ---
    Asterisks from
    Mainland China arrive
    on the westerly winds
[06:08] ---
    Many evacuees on the Sea
    of Japan side are killed
[06:08] ---
    F Energy from explosion
[06:08] ---
    Concerns about health damage
[06:08] ---
    Asterisks
[06:08] ---
    Move to Sea of Japan side
[06:08] ---
    America’s new F element weapon
[06:08] ---
    What is GUFU?
[06:08] ---
    Damage range following
    “Mothership” explosion
[06:11] ---
    in order to save the
    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...
[21:48] ---
    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
[23:49] ---
