[00:02] ---
    So you’re alive.
[00:05] ---
    When that mother ship came,
    I got crushed under a building,
[00:09] ---
    and then I understand that I
    was taken over by an invader ever since.
[00:13] ---
    When he died and I returned to
    myself, eight years had passed.
[00:18] ---
    Do you know?
[00:21] ---
    What happened to Kadode?
[00:23] ---
    This is a device that allows
    you to peek into memories.
[00:26] ---
    I will show you what happened with this.
[00:31] ---
    Please insert your finger in here.
[00:45] ---
    We’ll teach him that human beings
    are actually kind and peaceful.
[00:51] ---
    We are going to protect our Earth.
[00:55] ---
    Got it!
[00:56] ---
    Allow us to be your subordinates!
    We’ll do anything!
[01:00] ---
    Newly formed
[01:00] ---
    The Demons!
[01:00] ---
    We’re the Demons! Yay!
[01:04] ---
    I wonder if I can fly!
[01:13] ---
    Whoever you are,
    I will always be on your side.
[01:18] ---
    No matter what anyone
    says, your life belongs to you.
[01:23] ---
    Change your destiny.
[01:53] ---
    The Asterisks…
[01:54] ---
    Most of them were forced out into space.
[02:00] ---
    Thanks to a good friend.
[02:06] ---
    In a way, you could say
    the world in this timeline
[02:09] ---
    existed for Oran Nakagawa
    to save Kadode.
[02:14] ---
    We were able to
    understand that with this devices.
[02:17] ---
    Episode 17
[02:24] ---
    I met the two in Tokyo,
[02:27] ---
    and although my
    time with them was short,
[02:29] ---
    we played and lived
    together during that time.
[02:31] ---
    Where is Kadode now?
[02:34] ---
    I don’t know.
[02:36] ---
    Just before 8/32,
    I returned from summer camp ahead of her,
[02:40] ---
    and haven’t been able to meet her since.
[02:44] ---
    I’m sorry.
[02:46] ---
    No, it’s not something you
    should be apologizing about.
[02:50] ---
    However, although
    this may be unrelated,
[02:54] ---
    there’s a team of two ace
    pilots on the latest manned Fujins
[02:58] ---
    who have been
    battling to save the people.
[03:02] ---
    From the letter D on the machines,
[03:04] ---
    they have been called the “Demons.”
[03:08] ---
    Demons…
[03:10] ---
    That’s right.
[03:11] ---
    The same name as the
    group created to help people
[03:13] ---
    that Kadode created
    when she was in grade school.
[03:17] ---
    Though it may be a coincidence.
[05:22] ---
    What was that light right now?
[05:23] ---
    An attack launched from Ocean,
[05:26] ---
    carrying government officials
    who had escaped from the atmosphere.
[05:30] ---
    Then Demons…
[05:32] ---
    I don’t know.
[05:38] ---
    Everything seems to be so far from reality.
[05:42] ---
    People were shot and
    killed in front of my eyes.
[05:45] ---
    I do wanna see Kadode again.
[05:47] ---
    Sometimes I think of how
    strange things are as well.
[05:50] ---
    There are these giant
    weapons flying around,
[05:53] ---
    and even rumors that Ocean 2 has been built
    in Nagoya and is about to launch into space.
[05:59] ---
    But I’m a person of this world.
[06:03] ---
    When I think, “It could be me tomorrow…”
[06:06] ---
    I can’t afford to be shaken
    just because someone died.
[06:16] ---
    The Invaders’ Shift Machine is ahead of here.
[06:20] ---
    This area suffered little damage,
    so there’s a high possibility that it’s still there.
[06:28] ---
    Mr. Nobuo, I think you
    should redo your world.
[06:34] ---
    What about you?
[06:35] ---
    I have friends and memories here.
[06:40] ---
    Even if this world were
    to be completely destroyed,
[06:43] ---
    what exists in this
    world is everything to me.
[06:50] ---
    Mr. Nobuo, shall we go?
[06:53] ---
    To the Shift Machine.

    What’s the progress on Ocean 2?
[07:09] ---
    Ninety-eight percent on schedule.
[07:11] ---
    Delays should be caught up within
    the next twenty-four hours, Mom.
[07:15] ---
    Stop calling me Mom.
[07:18] ---
    I’m amazed how they can afford
    to make something this big.
[07:24] ---
    It’s backed by the Japanese government
    currently aboard the orbiting satellite.
[07:28] ---
    Although we lost our base in Atami,
[07:30] ---
    with these abundant
    materials and SES technology,
[07:34] ---
    we will change the world
    into a new society from here.
[07:40] ---
    We also have technology from the invaders.
[07:42] ---
    In addition, with Plankton AI, together
    with Hikari Sumaru, the verification key,
[07:49] ---
    we can even control the Japanese
    government up in the skies with this Ocean 2.
[07:55] ---
    Someday, we should even be
    able to transcend time and space.
[08:07] ---
    One combat force of the US Army
    Fujin Unit has arrived in Nagoya.
[08:11] ---
    It doesn’t appear that those
    New D-type units are there this time.
[08:15] ---
    Their defeat has been
    confirmed in the previous attack.
[08:17] ---
    The remains were collected by
    the former Self-Defense Forces.
[08:22] ---
    Very well, eliminate them all.
[08:29] ---
    Ocean output limit reached.

    Found it.
[09:39] ---
    Who are you guys?
[09:46] ---
    Huh?
[09:47] ---
    A person?
[09:51] ---
    Hey, Keita!
[09:53] ---
    You can come out!
[09:55] ---
    They don’t seem to be
    people who will harm you!
[10:09] ---
    It’s Makoto.
[10:11] ---
    Oba!
[10:13] ---
    Lol.
[10:15] ---
    Oba…
[10:18] ---
    Hey!
[10:20] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?!
[10:23] ---
    I was waiting for you the whole time.
[10:24] ---
    Here, because
    there’s no longer anyone
[10:27] ---
    who knows this place
    other than you and me, Makoto.
[10:29] ---
    Y-You’re really smart!
[10:34] ---
    I see you’re friends of Keita
    from when he was in Tokyo.
[10:37] ---
    We thought all of his friends died,
[10:39] ---
    but who would’ve thought
    someone would actually come?
[10:42] ---
    All of them?
[10:44] ---
    In that case...
[10:47] ---
    Yeah.
[10:58] ---
    Mr. Nobuo.
[11:00] ---
    We should probably hurry.
[11:05] ---
    The anchor of this ship
    is set at twelve years ago.
[11:10] ---
    Twelve years ago...
[11:12] ---
    Please step in.
[11:15] ---
    This is only a mental transition.
[11:18] ---
    It’s a relatively imperfect technology,
[11:20] ---
    so how much of your memory
    remains on the other side
[11:24] ---
    is basically a matter of luck.
[11:26] ---
    Research is underway to
[11:28] ---
    develop more advanced
    Shift Machines using invader technology,
[11:32] ---
    but right now,
    this is the best there is.
[11:35] ---
    However…
[11:37] ---
    If you do remember us,
[11:41] ---
    please say “hi” from us to
    Kadode and Oran on the other side.
[11:46] ---
    Tell them that one day,
[11:49] ---
    we will be sure to go and meet them.
[12:43] ---
    Dad.
[12:47] ---
    Dad.
[12:50] ---
    Kadode.
[12:54] ---
    Kadode,
[12:56] ---
    I’m home.
[13:08] ---
    To Kadode,
[13:08] ---
    I’ll be out. Make some toast
    and eggs for breakfast.
[13:08] ---
    (You don’t have to wake
    up your father.)

[13:26] ---
    Your alarm clock is annoying.
[13:29] ---
    Kadode...
[13:31] ---
    I’m gonna get changed,
    so get outta my way.
[13:35] ---
    Hey.
[13:36] ---
    Zundacchi
[13:36] ---
    Kintaro Kate
[13:37] ---
    Where did you put the Isobeyan
    books and doll that were here?
[13:41] ---
    Huh? What is Isobeyan?
[13:44] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:46] ---
    He’s your favorite manga character.
[13:49] ---
    Oh, you mean Zundacchi.
[13:51] ---
    You’re still half asleep, Dad.
[13:54] ---
    Take it easy on the alcohol
    and fighting with mom, okay?
[13:55] ---
    Zundacchi
[13:59] ---
    I’m leaving now.
[14:02] ---
    Wait a minute, Kadode!
[14:04] ---
    What is it?
    I’m gonna be late for school!
[14:07] ---
    Is there a girl named
    Oran Nakagawa in your class?
[14:12] ---
    Miss Nakagawa?
[14:14] ---
    Yeah, there is.
[14:15] ---
    Zundacchi
[14:16] ---
    Have you been able to
    become friends with her?
[14:19] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    I’ve hardly ever spoken with her.
[14:23] ---
    Then talk to her.
[14:26] ---
    I’m sure it’ll change your world.

    Kadode Koyama
[15:09] ---
    I don’t know if the world changed.
[15:15] ---
    But I had new encounters
    and made new friends.
[15:23] ---
    16 years later
[15:26] ---
    I’m Kadode Koyama, your new manager.
[15:29] ---
    Um, I’ve been a big fan of yours, Mr. Hanazawa,
    for a long time, so I am so honored.
[15:35] ---
    Oh, boy.
[15:37] ---
    I hate flattery.
[15:40] ---
    Well, nice to meet you.
[15:42] ---
    Your father helped
    me a great deal, after all.
[15:45] ---
    Although the manga we
    did together didn’t sell at all.
[15:49] ---
    Thank you for the guidance
    you gave my father back then.
[15:53] ---
    Well, enough small talk.
[15:56] ---
    Let’s hear the outline you’ve
    come up with for a new series.
[16:00] ---
    What would you like
    Genius Kengo Hanazawa to create?
[16:04] ---
    None other than science fiction!
[16:06] ---
    Zundacchi
[16:07] ---
    Let’s reinterpret “Zundacchi” for adults
    and start another science fiction manga boom!
[16:14] ---
    Fly in the sky,
    or have flying saucers appear,
[16:16] ---
    or introduce robots, or use a
    time machine to visit the past…
[16:21] ---
    Don’t you find it so romantic?
[16:23] ---
    Science fiction doesn’t sell.
[16:28] ---
    Can you think of something else?
[16:33] ---
    He won’t even give it a chance, that bastard.
[16:36] ---
    He’s gotten cocky after
    making it big with his zombie manga.
[16:40] ---
    That was total moral harassment.
[16:44] ---
    Should I sue him?
[16:47] ---
    I hope this world would
    completely get destroyed and end.
[16:54] ---
    You’re home.
[16:55] ---
    Then you could’ve replied to my message.
[16:59] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[17:01] ---
    I fell asleep after
    a rough day with my work.
[17:04] ---
    We just decided the other day that,
    until twelve midnight on weekdays,
[17:09] ---
    you’d reply within thirty minutes
    to any messages I send you.
[17:14] ---
    Hey Watarase.
[17:15] ---
    How many years have we been dating?
[17:19] ---
    Dating for four years.
    Living together for six months.
[17:23] ---
    If we continue dating casually like this,
[17:26] ---
    do you think a happy future is possible?
[17:32] ---
    Don’t fall asleep, Watarase!
[17:37] ---
    Hi, Hiroshi.
[17:40] ---
    You were able to leave work.
[17:43] ---
    Naturally.
[17:44] ---
    It’s my little sister’s big moment.
[17:46] ---
    Made a few billion dollars
    in seconds and dashed over.
[17:50] ---
    Wow, impressive.
[17:52] ---
    I’m totally exhausted.
[17:55] ---
    Society is cruel and life is hell.
[17:58] ---
    It’s like, “be destroyed, you shit world!”
[18:01] ---
    What an array of foul language.
[18:04] ---
    You’ve become quite
    the vulgar adult, Kadode.
[18:07] ---
    New Product Media Conference
[18:07] ---
    Fine, but I think you’ve
    gained a little weight, Hiroshi.
[18:10] ---
    No way.
[18:11] ---
    If I get fat, that will
    be the end of the world.

[18:16] ---
    Name
[18:16] ---
    Kadode Koyama
[18:16] ---
    Is she gonna be all right?
[18:19] ---
    She gets nervous, so I really don’t
    think she’s cut out to speak in front of people.
[18:24] ---
    She’s a grown adult.
[18:26] ---
    I’m sure she’ll get the job done.
[18:28] ---
    Well, why don’t we watch
    over her with a warm heart?
[18:33] ---
    Long time no see, Kadode!
[18:36] ---
    First time since graduation.
[18:39] ---
    Now, the history of “Fujin”
    dates back more than twenty years,
[18:43] ---
    beginning with “Buddy,” an
    entertainment robot released in 1999.
[18:50] ---
    Right here, a new “Fujin” is born.
[18:54] ---
    Now, let’s have our public relations
    representative explain this in further detail.
[19:05] ---
    I’m Oran Nakagawa, a member
    of the SES marketing department.
[19:10] ---
    Today, I’m pleased to be given the
    opportunity to introduce this “Fujin” to you all.
[19:16] ---
    Fujin is the latest embodiment
    of the artificial intelligence
[19:21] ---
    and robotics technology at SES
    and is your friend from the future.
[19:24] ---
    Fujin will share joy, painful moments, and
    sorrow with you, and always by your side.
[19:30] ---
    Please give Fujin lots of love.
[19:35] ---
    I’m sure he’ll give you the
    same amount of love in return.
[19:53] ---
    But you know what?
[19:55] ---
    I must say, Oran hasn’t changed one bit.
[19:58] ---
    Hmm...
[19:59] ---
    She was surprisingly acting
    a lot more proper than I thought.
[20:02] ---
    But she had me sweating when
    she made that strange peace sigh
[20:05] ---
    towards me from the stage.
[20:07] ---
    A bold move for sure.
[20:10] ---
    She always has a way of doing what
    she shouldn’t at the most important time.
[20:17] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[20:20] ---
    Good work, Oran.
[20:22] ---
    Kadode!
[20:24] ---
    What did you think?
[20:25] ---
    Well, I hate those things.
[20:28] ---
    Why must everything
    be digitally converted?
[20:31] ---
    What’s wrong with
    making friends the normal way?
[20:35] ---
    She won’t even give it a chance.
[20:36] ---
    Don’t tell me.
    Tell that to the company.
[20:40] ---
    Not to mention that
    strange name, Fujin.
[20:42] ---
    You need a name that’s catchy.
[20:45] ---
    Then you come up
    with an idea, Kadode.
[20:47] ---
    Oh, sure. I’ll think of something.
[20:49] ---
    Hiroshi, can you
    pass me a paper napkin?
[20:52] ---
    Here.
[20:53] ---
    Kadode… Oran…
[20:54] ---
    By the way, Oran, you said something
    about a younger colleague at work being cute?
[20:56] ---
    Oran… Kadode…
[20:58] ---
    Actually, right now I’m having
    so much fun with my work, so...
[20:59] ---
    Kadode… Demon…
[21:01] ---
    Oran… Demon…
[21:04] ---
    Oh, right, Kadode!
[21:05] ---
    Did you notice that I sent
    you a crab-crab sign message?
[21:09] ---
    Crab-crab?
[21:10] ---
    Oh, that peace sign.
[21:12] ---
    My, that’s a message
    game we used to play ages ago.
[21:16] ---
    You can’t expect
    me to remember that.
[21:19] ---
    What’s the message you sent?
[21:21] ---
    “I love you.”
[21:27] ---
    What’s this?
[21:31] ---
    What would you do
    if you could fly the skies freely?
[21:34] ---
    It would help a great deal because then
    I won’t have to commute in packed trains.
[21:37] ---
    I know the feeling.
[21:38] ---
    We’re stuck in this corporate world.
[21:42] ---
    And still, we continue to live!
[21:46] ---
    You’re a tough girl.
[21:49] ---
    Oh, Kadode.
[21:50] ---
    Aren’t things going
    well with Mr. Watarase?
[21:54] ---
    You could say that.
[21:56] ---
    He’s a total jerk.
[22:00] ---
    Maybe he was just getting high on
    the idea of a teacher-student relationship.
[22:04] ---
    You say that, but your
    relationship has lasted a long time.
[22:07] ---
    I simply love his looks.
[22:11] ---
    So in the end, he gets away with
    taking advantage of me,
[22:13] ---
    and I’ve got no means to fight back.
[22:17] ---
    Okay, then Kadode…
[22:20] ---
    If you can’t fight back,
    show him your boobs!
[22:23] ---
    You’re missing the point.
[22:26] ---
    I guess you’re right.
[22:31] ---
    While I’m absent-mindedly passing the days,
    I’m becoming more and more adult.
[22:35] ---
    Kadode!
[22:36] ---
    I’m sure you’ll
    find a great guy soon.
[22:39] ---
    Is there a convenient, sexy guy
    out there who will always listen to me?!
[22:45] ---
    Kadode! Look there!
[22:47] ---
    Where? Where?
[22:48] ---
    But on the condition
    that he’s handsome!
[22:51] ---
    Uh, no, no! A UFO!
[22:57] ---
    Stop! Mes-sing! With! Me!
[23:02] ---
    Hey, Ontan! If you get any
    closer, space-time will break!
[23:05] ---
    Hanyanya fuwa!
[23:08] ---
    Huh?
[23:09] ---
    Hanya… what?
[23:17] ---
    Wasn’t that your voice, Oran?
[23:20] ---
    I heard your voice, too, Kadode.
[23:23] ---
    Kiho.
[23:24] ---
    Was someone there right now?
[23:26] ---
