**[00:00] ---**
**[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.

**[07:05] ---**
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.
**[08:31] ---**
Green Ray is ready to be fired.
**[08:34] ---**

**[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.)
**[13:08] ---**

**[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.

**[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.

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] ---**
Huh?
**[23:27] ---**
Sorry, I wasn’t looking.
**[23:31] ---**
Hm?
**[23:33] ---**
What’s this?
**[23:34] ---**
Isobeyan
**[23:38] ---**
Yes. And still…
**[23:40] ---**
Isobeyan
**[23:44] ---**
We will continue living.
**[24:00] ---**
So long as you remain by my side.
