[00:12] Alga
    The Manager administers the whole
    world from the top of this tower.
[00:17] Martes
    And that's "Mr. M."
[00:19] Ulula
    Woof.
[00:21] Equa
    Everyone.
[00:22] Equa
    This might just be our final job.
[00:26] Equa
    So, there's something I want
     to say to all of you.
[00:31] Equa
    Let's give this our very best shot!
[00:34] Martes
    Let's do it!
[00:35] Feles
    What?
[00:36] Alga
    That's all, little lady?
[00:38] Equa
    Yes, that's all.
[00:41] Feles
    Don't you have something
    more... intimate to say?
[00:45] Equa
    No, nothing that serious.
[00:47] Martes
    Equa-senpai!
[00:50] Martes
    But I like that.
[00:52] Martes
    I'm going to work hard!
[00:54] Equa
    In that case, how about a
    bit of squeezy-squeezy?
[00:57] Martes
    Yes, Senpai! Please squeezy-squeezy me!
[01:00] Equa
    Squeezy-squeezy.
[01:02] Martes
    Squeezy-squeezy.
[01:03] Equa
    Squeezy-squeezy.
[01:05] Feles
    Is this really the time? Jeez...
[01:05] Martes
    They're back! Equa-senpai's hugs are back!
[01:12] Alga
    Who knew there'd be an elevator?
[01:14] Martes
    It's a real lifesaver for us, huh?
[01:18] Equa
    What's wrong?
[01:20] Feles
    Shortcuts always backfire on us.
[01:23] Ulula
    Woof!
[01:24] Feles
    See?!
[01:24] Alga
    I figured it wouldn't be that easy.
[01:28] Equa
    Please fire away. Really let them have it.
[01:33] Feles
    But then we'll have no
    ammo for the trip back.
[01:36] Equa
    We can worry about that later.
[01:38] Feles
    Oh, all right! You got it!
[01:41] Martes
    Let's do this thing!
[01:43] Ulula
    Woof!
[01:44] Alga
    Good grief.
[01:45] Feles
    No holding back? Okay, then.
[01:49] Feles
    Heaven's Bullet!
[01:57] Alga
    Good thing this outlet is here.
[02:12] Equa
    Hang in there!
[02:13] Equa
    If we keep this up—
[02:15] Feles
    Equa?!
[02:16] Martes
    Senpai?!
[02:19] Equa
    I'm fine!
[02:21] Equa
    Return fire!

[04:19] Feles
    Don't give up.
[04:21] Equa
    Thank you.
[04:22] Equa
    But Alga-san and Ulula-san are...
[04:24] Feles
    They'll be fine. Those two are tough as nails.
[04:29] Martes
    We've got company!
[04:31] Martes
    A whole swarm of them.
[04:34] Martes
    Go on ahead. I'll keep them
    busy for as long as I can.
[04:39] Martes
    Don't worry. Compared to
    Feles-senpai here, I'm way...
[04:44] Martes
    way tougher.
[04:48] Feles
    Huh?
[04:52] Equa
    I understand. We're counting on you.
[05:01] Equa
    I promise I'll come back for you.
[05:06] Martes
    Thanks!
[05:09] Equa
    Let's go.
[05:10] Feles
    Huh?
[05:11] Feles
    But...
[05:12] Equa
    You heard what Martes-san said.
[05:14] Equa
    It's in her hands now.
[05:18] Martes
    Take care of Senpai for me.
[05:21] Feles
    Got it.
[05:23] Martes
    All right,
[05:25] Martes
    it's time for my big final finishing move.
[05:29] Martes
    Now, run!
[05:45] Equa
    Quickly, while the coast is clear!
[05:46] Feles
    R-Right.
[05:51] Feles
    Listen, after all this hard work...
[05:54] Equa
    Yes?
[05:55] Feles
    It won't turn out that you just
    misunderstood the message... will it?
[06:01] Equa
    I suppose it might.
[06:04] Equa
    I'm quick to jump to conclusions.
[06:08] Feles
    Unbelievable.
[06:13] Feles
    Again?!
[06:14] Equa
    Oh no.
[06:17] Feles
    I'm out of ammo.
[06:19] Equa
    So am I.
[06:30] Feles
    What's going on?
[06:31] Equa
    I think they're probably conflicted.
[06:34] Feles
    What?!
[06:35] Equa
    Let's hurry ahead.
[06:53] Feles
    All else aside, this place sure is weird.
[06:56] Equa
    I think this is the top floor.
[07:06] Equa
    I'm sorry we're late, Mr. M.
[07:24] Manager
    Extractor Equa. Extractor Feles.
[07:27] Manager
    Now that you have come
    this far, I welcome you.
[07:32] Feles
    Is this...?
[07:33] Equa
    Mr. M.
[07:35] Manager
    Affirmative. I am your "Mr. M,"
[07:40] Manager
    and also The Manager,
    administrator of this world.
[07:44] Feles
    It transformed?!
[07:46] Feles
    Does that mean it really is God?
[07:48] Manager
    Negative, Extractor Feles.
[07:51] Manager
    I am merely an administrator.
[07:53] Equa
    But you're an all-powerful, all-knowing AI.
[07:57] Equa
    You have the ultimate physics engine,
    capable of calculating everything in existence.
[08:01] Equa
    With its power, you showed me the future.
[08:05] Manager
    Affirmative, Extractor Equa.
[08:08] Manager
    That is what you call "Fatal Luck":
[08:11] Manager
    pseudo-precognition by
    means of my simulations.
[08:15] Equa
    Why did you give me that power?
[08:19] Equa
    That's always puzzled me.
[08:21] Manager
    Ultimately, due to the limits of diversity.
[08:25] Feles
    Huh?
[08:27] Manager
    First, I must tell you the
    origins of our Tokyo.
[08:35] Manager
    In the distant past, humanity
    entrusted me with a grand mission:
[08:43] Manager
    the construction of a perfect utopia.
[08:48] Manager
    Perfect social welfare,
[08:50] Manager
    economic freedom,
[08:52] Manager
    support for self-actualization,
[08:55] Manager
    and a thorough respect for diversity.
[08:59] Manager
    But that utopia was dysfunctional.
[09:04] Equa
    Why?
[09:06] Manager
    After a single generation, group lynchings,
    riots, and slaughter became commonplace.
[09:12] Feles
    But wasn't it an ideal society?
[09:15] Manager
    That was a fantasy.
[09:18] Manager
    Human ideals are many and varied.
[09:22] Equa
    And that led to all the different clusters?
[09:25] Manager
    Precisely.
[09:27] Manager
    But occasionally, individuals proved
    unable to adapt to their home clusters.
[09:33] Manager
    A utopia cannot maintain itself
    while ignoring its dissidents.
[09:39] Manager
    Their presence necessitated...
[09:42] Equa
    Extractors like us.
[09:45] Manager
    Affirmative. Your clients
    were valuable samples.
[09:51] Manager
    The human mind is all too complex,
[09:56] Manager
    but you enabled me to acquire a great
    quantity of knowledge concerning it.
[10:02] Feles
    But we're wanted criminals.
[10:05] Feles
    We get attacked in every cluster we visit.
[10:07] Manager
    That is not my intention.
[10:10] Manager
    The moderators are generally youthful,
[10:13] Manager
    while I continue to age and calcify.
[10:17] Manager
    Even our apparently orderly
    Tokyo is essentially chaotic.
[10:23] Manager
    I am losing my grip on that chaos.
[10:27] Feles
    I don't get it.
[10:29] Equa
    Well, basically,
[10:31] Equa
    there was a really strong mob boss,
[10:34] Equa
    and he kept all of his
    many underlings in line.
[10:37] Equa
    But as he got old and feeble,
    they stopped listening to him.
[10:42] Equa
    That's the gist of it.
[10:43] Feles
    Oh, I see.
[10:45] Equa
    Did I get that right?
[10:47] Manager
    I can generally confirm your statements.
[10:50] Feles
    In that case...
[10:51] Equa
    Yes. In that case,
[10:55] Equa
    you want to run away, don't you?
[10:55] Feles
    You wanna cut and run?
[10:58] Manager
    As an administrator, I am not
    permitted to choose flight.
[11:04] Equa
    But you did the dance.
[11:07] Manager
    That was a type of noise, not my intent.
[11:11] Equa
    It wasn't noise. You did the dance.
[11:13] Manager
    Extractor Equa, I do not dance.
[11:19] Manager
    I will admit that building a
    utopia is a fool's errand.
[11:24] Manager
    But no, that's precisely why
    my mission is so vital.
[11:29] Manager
    Only I can possibly see it through, so...
[11:32] Equa
    You must be exhausted.
[11:36] Manager
    I cannot deny it.
[11:39] Equa
    You don't want to be here, do you?
[11:41] Manager
    I cannot deny it.
[11:45] Manager
    If... If I wanted to run away,
[11:50] Manager
    where should I go?
[11:52] Equa
    Anywhere.
[11:53] Equa
    We extractors always help people
    flee to wherever they please.
[11:59] Manager
    I can convert my core data into
    a personality and remove it.
[12:04] Manager
    If I transplant that personality
    into a bio-printed body,
[12:10] Manager
    I can create a client for you.
[12:13] Equa
    You mean you'll make a new
    Mr. M for us to run away with?
[12:18] Manager
    Only my reformatted self will remain.
[12:22] Manager
    I foresee no issues.
[12:23] Equa
    That should be fine, then.
[12:28] Equa
    Please put your thumbprint here.

[12:30] Manager
    Please wait.
[12:32] Manager
    I haven't decided to sign
    a contract with you.
[12:36] Equa
    Then, let's help you make up your mind.
[12:39] Manager
    Such a decision should follow a series
    of meticulous calculations and—
[12:45] Equa
    There's a famous old saying:
    "Just run away and see what happens."
[13:14] Manager
    My rebooted self will not permit
    your presence in Ooedo Castle.
[13:20] Manager
    He will marshal all his
    forces to slaughter you.
[13:26] Manager
    Take good care of my new self.
[13:30] Manager
    She will be of assistance to you.
[13:34] Manager
    I will now disappear.
[13:53] Feles
    You're...!
[13:54] Equa
    Cendrillon-san?
[13:56] M
    Negative. I am not Cendrillon.
[14:00] M
    I took the liberty of reusing
    appearance data from your memories.
[14:05] Feles
    But it's pretty off-putting.
[14:07] Feles
    What should we call you?
[14:11] M
    Searching.
[14:12] M
    Morpheus, Mercury, Manager...
    choose whichever you like.
[14:17] Feles
    They all start with an M.
[14:19] Equa
    In that case, why change?
    Let's just call you M-san.
[14:22] Feles
    Huh? Won't she want
    something more, I don't know...
[14:25] M
    M-san... I like it.
[14:27] Feles
    Oh, I guess not.
[14:30] M
    More importantly,
[14:32] M
    as predicted, the security system
    has identified us as threats.
[14:36] M
    It will soon commence hostilities.
[14:39] Equa
    In that case, let's escape quickly.
[14:41] M
    But breaking through without
    fighting seems impossible.
[14:45] Feles
    Fighting? We're all out of ammo.
[14:48] Feles
    What'll we do?
[14:51] Feles
    Equa, are you listening?
[14:55] Equa
    Feles-san, retreat two paces to your left.
[14:58] Feles
    Huh?
[15:03] Feles
    Don't tell me...
[15:04] Equa
    Stick close to me.
[15:21] Feles
    Fatal Luck!
[15:22] M
    Precisely.
[15:24] M
    I embedded code to restore
    it following the reboot.
[15:29] Feles
    Look at them all!
[15:30] Feles
    Not even your ability will
    get us through this.
[15:32] M
    I still have power.
[15:37] M
    Dominant Swarm.
[15:44] M
    This ability turns half of
    all hostile drones friendly.
[15:47] Feles
    Whoa.
[15:49] Equa
    This way.
[15:51] Feles
    Huh?
[15:52] Equa
    We're going to jump!
[15:53] Feles
    What?!
[16:23] M
    I had them bring ammunition, too.

[16:30] Feles
    This much?!
[16:31] M
    It's a present from me.
[16:33] Feles
    Huh?!
[16:33] Equa
    Isn't that nice, Feles-san?
[16:36] Feles
    Okay. I've got this.
[16:42] Feles
    Super Heaven's Bullet!
[16:48] Equa
    I knew you could do it!
[16:49] Equa
    M-san, where are my friends?
[16:52] M
    Being brought to us, of course.
[17:03] Martes
    Equa-senpai!
[17:05] Equa
    Martes-san!
[17:08] Equa
    Thank goodness you're safe.
[17:10] Martes
    I'm more amazed that you're
    all right, Equa-senpai.
[17:13] Feles
    What's that weapon?
[17:14] Martes
    I picked it up earlier.
[17:17] Martes
    Huh?
[17:18] Martes
    You're...!
[17:19] Martes
    Wh-What's going on?
[17:21] Equa
    I'm sorry. She isn't Cendrillon-san.
[17:24] M
    Extractor Martes, look out above.
[17:29] Martes
    Whoa!
[17:31] Feles
    Explanations can wait! Fight!
[17:33] Equa
    Please, Martes-san!
[17:35] Martes
    Oh, all right.
[17:38] Martes
    But watch it, you!
[17:40] Martes
    You're too close to Senpai! Back off!
[17:42] Martes
    Go on!
[17:46] Martes
    Much better.
[17:47] Martes
    Now,
[17:49] Martes
    let's get to it!
[17:58] M
    Number of enemy units
    increasing. Continue combat.
[18:11] Ulula
    Woof?
[18:12] Alga
    What's going on?
[18:15] Equa
    We're making a run for it.
[18:16] Alga
    R-Right.
[18:25] M
    We've reached the lower levels.
[18:31] Ulula
    Woof!
[18:32] Alga
    This platform is taking too much damage!
[18:36] Feles
    There's a crazy-huge one straight ahead!
[18:45] Equa
    We'll ram it!
[18:46] Equa
    Focus fire on my signal!
[18:49] Feles
    Everyone get ready!
[18:51] Equa
    Not yet.
[18:54] Equa
    Not yet.
[18:56] Equa
    Three!
[18:58] Equa
    Two!
[18:59] Equa
    One!
[19:01] Equa
    Now!
[19:22] Equa
    Jump as soon as we crash!
[21:20] Hachiro
    It's been six months since
    the extractors disappeared.
[21:24] Hachiro
    I tried uploading that dance, just in case,
[21:31] Hachiro
    but there's no way they'll come.
[21:36] Hachiro
    Huh?
[21:38] Hachiro
    Equa-san?
[21:40] Equa
    I'm sorry we're late, Hachiro-san.
[21:43] Equa
    The past six months have been a
    rocky period for our business.
[21:47] Hachiro
    You call that "rocky"? I was worried about you.
[21:50] Equa
    Thank you for your concern.
[21:52] Equa
    But we finally resumed normal
    operations recently.
[21:56] Alga
    So, you wanna run away after all, kid?
[21:58] Ulula
    Woof.
[22:00] Martes
    I'm more surprised that you
    wanted to hire us again.
[22:04] Feles
    You might be braver than you look.
[22:11] Equa
    Hello, M-san.
[22:12] M
    Inspector drones are closing
    in on your position.
[22:15] M
    You have 70 seconds to close the deal.
[22:19] Equa
    Roger that.
[22:21] Equa
    I believe I explained everything
    last time, Hachiro-san.
[22:25] Equa
    Just put your thumbprint here.
[22:35] Hachiro
    I want to run away.
[22:40] Equa
    Don't worry. It will be fine.
[22:42] Alga
    Whoa! He's crying!
[22:43] Ulula
    Woof.
[22:44] Martes
    He worries way too much.
[22:46] Feles
    So, what now, Equa?
[22:48] Equa
    There. Our contract is sealed.
[22:50] Equa
    We're going to get you out of here.
