    Even if it were some sort of an
    aftereffect of the Nirvash's gun,
[01:50] ---
    how probable is it that it still hasn't
    gone away after a whole week?
[01:53] ---
    The Quartz Gun. That's what we're calling it.
[01:56] ---
    You heard him.
[01:57] ---
    But don't you all think it's odd?
[02:04] ---
    In the Arctic Circle, this light has been sighted
[02:05] ---
    off the coast of Norway's
    Vesterålen Islands since the olden days.
[02:10] ---
    It's what people call the North Pole Light.
[02:13] ---
    According to legends,
[02:15] ---
    this has been a known phenomenon
    since the era of the Vikings.
[02:17] ---
    What are you saying is the problem here?
[02:20] ---
    Isn't it conceivable that the Quartz Gun
    has not only touched the present,
[02:25] ---
    but also made its mark on the past?
[02:28] ---
    What are you saying?
[02:29] ---
    If it had also affected the past,
[02:31] ---
    then some kind of change
    should have befallen us as well.
[02:34] ---
    Perhaps we are seeing the effects of it already.
[02:37] ---
    But everything we have now,
    including our memories,
[02:40] ---
    is an extension of the altered past.
[02:43] ---
    There's no way for us to
    confirm what was altered.
[02:49] ---
    Ao, what are you doing?
[02:52] ---
    Uh, um, about what you just said...
[02:55] ---
    This discussion is not for children.
[02:57] ---
    Ao, it's nothing to worry about.
[03:00] ---
    I never imagined that it
    would transform like that,
[03:03] ---
    but you made the right call
    when you used it as a weapon.
[03:07] ---
    A weapon...
[03:16] ---
    Also, the staff members whose health
    screenings turned up anomalies the other day...
[03:19] ---
    Are we making progress on quarantining them?
[03:31] ---
    According to Mom Hannah,
[03:32] ---
    it looks like an increase in white blood cells,
[03:34] ---
    but their make-up differs.
[03:36] ---
    Also, the x-ray scans
[03:39] ---
    show infestations composed of
    the same material as Scub Corals.
[03:42] ---
    It has been known for several decades
[03:44] ---
    that allergic reactions can be
    triggered by trapar intake.
[03:46] ---
    This is completely different from that.
[03:49] ---
    Additionally, since the
    recent outbreak of Secrets,
[03:51] ---
    there have been similar cases all over the world.
[03:53] ---
    All right.
[03:54] ---
    I'll start by contacting the US government
    and the WHO for their opinions.
[03:58] ---
    I trust that's satisfactory?
[04:07] ---
    I believe the first case
    of this that the world saw
[04:10] ---
    will likely be the girl from
    the Okinawan island of Iwato.
[04:14] ---
    Her, huh?
[04:16] ---
    The Scub Corals are the enemy
    of mankind and of Earth!
[04:19] ---
    Trapars invade our bodies!
    They are trying to destroy mankind!
[04:23] ---
    Yeah!
[04:25] ---
    The root of all evils
[04:26] ---
    --is none other than the Scub Corals!
    --We're starting to see them more again lately.
[04:29] ---
    --Now is the time for us to pay heed to Johansson's teachings
    --Those aren't folks from Okinawa.
[04:31] ---
    --and we must correct the wrong in this world!
    --Huh? They're not here to demand
[04:34] ---
    --Yeah!
    --the mineral rights to the trapars?
[04:35] ---
    --We of Clean Gaea cannot overlook the Coral plants!
    --They're saying the G-Mons
[04:38] ---
    --We of Clean Gaea cannot overlook the Coral plants!
    --are gods that came to save this world.
[04:39] ---
    --Yeah!
    --And apparently,
[04:40] ---
    --The Secrets are the true saviors
    --the Scub Corals are not good.
[04:43] ---
    --of mankind and of our universe!
    --Huh. So the G-Monsters are gods?
[04:46] ---
    Yeah!
[04:48] ---
    This world never had trapars
    or Coral plants to begin with!
[04:52] ---
    That's what Johansson said!
[04:54] ---
    Yeah!
[05:03] ---
    Calm down! It's just smoke!
[05:05] ---
    It's just a scare tacti--
[05:20] ---
    Damn it! Those bastards killed him!
[05:23] ---
    Johansson, my ass!
[05:25] ---
    What country is that environmental group from?!
[05:28] ---
    We'll look them up right away and...
[05:30] ---
    Wh-What the...?!
[05:47] ---
    You're...!
[05:55] ---
    He's alive?!
[06:05] ---
    We've met before...
[06:07] ---
    Ao's girlfriend, was it?
[06:16] ---
    Where's the injured worker?!
[06:19] ---
    What's a child doing here?
[06:21] ---
    Hey, she's that terrorist!
[06:23] ---
    What?!
[06:29] ---
    Stop!
[06:30] ---
    Please move aside.
[06:32] ---
    What?
[06:33] ---
    For your safety.
[06:47] ---
    You... What are you planning to do?
[06:50] ---
    Can't you hear?
[06:51] ---
    The voice of the Scub Coral...
[06:56] ---
    The trapars belong to no one.
[06:59] ---
    The Scub Corals, as well.
[07:10] ---
    Okay! Here we go with the camera test!
[07:13] ---
    Looking good!
[07:14] ---
    Oh, Miss Fleur, give us a smile!
[07:17] ---
    You really are the best! You're both so cute!
[07:20] ---
    Like you just jumped out of the Pi-Pi anime!
[07:26] ---
    Please stop calling it "Pi-Pi"!
[07:28] ---
    The fans have no interest in the 3-dimensional.
[07:30] ---
    Forget about us.
    Have Mr. Kanzaki do some original art...
[07:33] ---
    You two are special!
[07:35] ---
    Yup, yup. Rather than models
    for Pi-Pi, you're like Pi-Pi itself.
[07:39] ---
    Like Pi-Pi come to life...
[07:41] ---
    Stop calling it "Pi-Pi."
[07:42] ---
    There are rumors that it's getting
    canceled after this season,
[07:45] ---
    but we're all about "HUs-Pi" all the way!
[07:47] ---
    Canceled? You mean, they're ending it?
[07:50] ---
    But I believe it's still getting
    top download numbers?
[07:53] ---
    You check on that stuff?!
[07:54] ---
    Oh, no, no, it's a rumor! Just a rumor!
[07:57] ---
    Something about the sponsors
    coming under pressure...
[07:59] ---
    Pressure?
[08:00] ---
    Because of that thing where
    Gen Bleu kept the Quartz a secret...
[08:04] ---
    They're suggesting it's a propaganda
    anime for a terrorist organization.
[08:15] ---
    "Ga"
[08:20] ---
    Then you believe what the
    Secret says is true, Gazelle?
[08:27] ---
    Well, well.
[08:28] ---
    You're looking gloomy for someone
    who saved the world, brat.
[08:32] ---
    I'm not a brat.
[08:33] ---
    Sure you're a brat.
[08:35] ---
    No matter how many times you ask,
[08:36] ---
    the only IFO teams we have
    are Pied Piper and Harlequin.
[08:40] ---
    I've never even heard of this Goldi-whatever.
[08:43] ---
    I... ended up erasing them.
[08:45] ---
    Huh?!
[08:47] ---
    That gun made it so the Coral
    in Norway never existed.
[08:51] ---
    And it made it so Chloe and
    the others were never born...
[08:54] ---
    I've had enough of this! You've been
    acting weird since the other day!
[08:58] ---
    Eh?!
[09:03] ---
    "Revised Complete Translation of the Johansson Book"
[09:03] ---
    It sounds a little like what's in this book.
[09:05] ---
    Hey, that's the book you got in Japan.
[09:09] ---
    A world where neither
    Scub Corals nor Secrets exist.
[09:14] ---
    My country believes that such a world
    is not relegated to the realm of fantasy.
[09:22] ---
    Johansson is like some sketchy prophet, right?
[09:27] ---
    He claims that our world--
    or rather, our history--
[09:30] ---
    is being twisted out of shape by
    the Scub Corals and the Secrets.
[09:35] ---
    And his conspiracy theory is that at
    least some governments know this.
[09:39] ---
    It seems he'd long had
    hallucinations of "another world."
[09:44] ---
    And ten years ago, in Okinawa...
[09:46] ---
    Okinawa?
[09:49] ---
    He met a boy near the stabilized Scub.
[09:54] ---
    The boy, too, knew of another history.
[09:57] ---
    Johansson adopted that boy
    and recorded his stories.
[10:01] ---
    Please tell me you're not going to say
[10:04] ---
    that Germany and Japan won World War II.
[10:07] ---
    Nothing so drastic.
[10:08] ---
    But without the Scub Bursts,
[10:11] ---
    he says the world would have been
    more peaceful and more prosperous.
[10:14] ---
    For example, in the history that he saw,
[10:16] ---
    the population of Earth has surpassed 7 billion.
[10:19] ---
    What?
[10:20] ---
    Right now, Earth has...
[10:22] ---
    Just over 3.5 billion.
[10:25] ---
    The series of Scub Bursts that
    occurred across Siberia in 1908
[10:30] ---
    was a terrible blow to the
    Soviet Union and northern China.
[10:33] ---
    And after the war,
[10:35] ---
    the Burst that took out Japan's
    capital delayed their recovery.
[10:37] ---
    But the other history
    apparently had none of that.
[10:40] ---
    It kind of sounds like all good things.
[10:43] ---
    There are other things, like religion...
[10:44] ---
    Oh, and of course, no trapars.
[10:47] ---
    But it seems they use nuclear fission energy.
[10:51] ---
    Nuclear fission...
[10:54] ---
    If a Scub Burst occurred
    at a nuclear fission facility,
[10:57] ---
    it would do irreparable harm,
[10:59] ---
    so we gave up developing them.
[11:00] ---
    "The Clean Energy We Dreamed of--
    Nuclear Reactors"
[11:02] ---
    A crazy delusion.
[11:04] ---
    Johansson says that their
    world is the correct one.
[11:07] ---
    And that Japanese official called Nakamura, too.
[11:13] ---
    Then, the third team that Ao says he
    saw was also from that other world...
[11:27] ---
    Georg, can you do a search?
[11:29] ---
    Chloe McCaffrey. Maeve McCaffrey. Ireland.
[11:34] ---
    Okay. Then, can we ask for
    the three of you together?
[11:37] ---
    Ao? He's in the manga, too?
[11:39] ---
    Why, of course.
[11:40] ---
    Even as the new male pilot has you on your toes,
[11:43] ---
    the two of you waver in uncertainty,
    and that's what's so great!
[11:46] ---
    We do not waver.
[11:48] ---
    But Ao has a childhood friend
[11:50] ---
    and she becomes an enemy pilot...
[11:53] ---
    Why do they even know about that?
[11:55] ---
    Because I supervise the story.
[11:57] ---
    What?! You do?!
[11:58] ---
    So, um, where is Mr. Ao?
[12:06] ---
    Hey, Elena, the way you've
    been towards Ao lately is...
[12:09] ---
    Shh!
[12:11] ---
    That's right! Chloe said that they
    moved in order to work at the plant!
[12:15] ---
    Chloe?
[12:17] ---
    These sisters exist in Belfast, Ireland.
[12:21] ---
    With regards to Maggie Kwan,
[12:23] ---
    there are many with the same name
    in Hong Kong and Singapore...
[12:25] ---
    Because Nirvash erased the
    Scub Coral and changed history,
[12:29] ---
    they never became IFO pilots to begin with.
[12:33] ---
    That would be what Johansson prophesied.
[12:35] ---
    The possibility of another history.
[12:39] ---
    Interesting.
[12:40] ---
    Georg, has your personality changed somehow?
[12:44] ---
    Another history... A choice of worlds...?
[12:59] ---
    What's gotten into you?
    Suddenly asking for time off...
[13:03] ---
    Please! Even if it's just half a day!
[13:05] ---
    Then we'll go with him
    to keep an eye on things.
[13:08] ---
    What?
[13:09] ---
    Yay! Vacation! Vacation!
[13:16] ---
    Then wait here for a bit.
[13:19] ---
    I had no idea that Ao had
    an e-mail friend in Ireland.
[13:27] ---
    Navigation complete.
[13:29] ---
    This is the McCaffrey's Bakery.
[13:36] ---
    If... Chloe and Maeve...
[13:39] ---
    ...had chosen a life that
    didn't involve piloting IFOs,
[13:42] ---
    they'd never have known me
    and they'd be happy...
[13:45] ---
    That is not being logical.
[13:47] ---
    Assuming that they never became IFO pilots,
[13:50] ---
    that does not necessarily equate
    to them having happy lives.
[13:54] ---
    You two, if you're done with
    your homework, come help out!
[13:58] ---
    Come along now!
[14:00] ---
    Coming!
[14:03] ---
    Ao, what's the matter?
[14:05] ---
    I thought you wanted to ascertain
    the outcome of your actions.
[14:10] ---
    Whether you had made Chloe
    and her sister happy. Or unhappy.
[14:20] ---
    Ao, I'm the only one who can understand you.
[14:38] ---
    Our country did not request
    Generation Bleu to mobilize.
[14:41] ---
    You are not authorized
    to remain in these waters.
[14:44] ---
    I believe no country ever claimed
    ownership of this Scub Coral
[14:47] ---
    due to the fact that it used to
    be at the bottom of the ocean.
[14:51] ---
    Now that its becoming active again
[14:52] ---
    has made it possible to mine
    for trapars on the surface,
[14:55] ---
    our country lays claim to it.
[14:57] ---
    Please go take up that discussion
    with the surrounding nations.
[15:00] ---
    However, with it becoming active again,
[15:02] ---
    a Burst could occur at any time.
[15:04] ---
    So you intend to collect its
    Core substance, called Quartz,
[15:07] ---
    and hide it again--or rather,
    secretly hoard it away again?
[15:14] ---
    Generation Bleu had the whole world duped!
[15:17] ---
    What do you plan to do if a Secret shows up?
[15:19] ---
    Some scholars say that the
    Secrets have gone extinct.
[15:23] ---
    Scholars who'll say anything for a buck!
[15:27] ---
    Ooh!
[15:30] ---
    Pull out of there.
[15:31] ---
    I've been served with a summons
    by the UN over the Quartz issue.
[15:35] ---
    There will be limits placed on our activities.
[15:37] ---
    Even though there are Scubs that have become
    active again being neglected across the globe?!
[15:50] ---
    Are we under attack?!
[15:52] ---
    The Quartz Gun is thrashing about.
[15:54] ---
    Thrashing about?!
[15:56] ---
    You will have to release it, or the
    ship will not last long... I would say.
[16:05] ---
    They make it sound like we're
    the enemy of this world.
[16:08] ---
    Fleur!
[16:25] ---
    Ao! You haven't been authorized
    to use the Quartz Gun!
[16:27] ---
    You saw, didn't you?!
    This thing just came flying at me--
[16:32] ---
    Wh-What's this thing doing?!
[16:36] ---
    So you mean to ignore our warning?!
[16:53] ---
    It swallowed the Quartz?!
[16:55] ---
    This is clearly an act of provocation!
[17:04] ---
    Go away! Go away!
[17:08] ---
    Ao!
[17:27] ---
    What's up with this thing?
[17:32] ---
    Maybe this is something we shouldn't use...
[17:45] ---
    This is it! It's what I've been looking for!
[17:50] ---
    Truth, stop! Give it back!
[17:53] ---
    I thought you threw it away, Ao Fukai.
[17:55] ---
    That thing is dangerous!
[17:57] ---
    It's not just a weapon! It'll change the world!
[18:00] ---
    That's what I want!
[18:20] ---
    Oh, crap...
[18:23] ---
    Ao.
[18:30] ---
    Anma...
[18:32] ---
    We got to see each other again...
[18:34] ---
    You've grown so big!
[18:36] ---
    Anm... It really is you, isn't it, Mom?
[18:44] ---
    Ao, you understand now, don't you?
[18:48] ---
    What happened to me...
[18:53] ---
    Ten years ago, you extracted a giant Quartz...
[18:56] ---
    And together with the Quartz,
    I leapt to a different time.
[19:04] ---
    A different... time...
[19:06] ---
    To the Quartz, time and space are the same.
[19:09] ---
    But I was unable to control it.
[19:12] ---
    So I've become haphazardly caught up in time,
[19:15] ---
    unable to remain in one place.
[19:18] ---
    For me, it's still only been a few
    days since I leapt with the Quartz.
[19:24] ---
    But the Quartz ended up coming back.
[19:27] ---
    Then, Mom, you could come with me, too...
[19:29] ---
    That's impossible.
[19:34] ---
    I'm only in the same time
    as this moment right now.
[19:38] ---
    No! That doesn't work for me!
[19:41] ---
    I'm going to get you back, Mom!
[19:43] ---
    As long as I have that gun,
    I can get there, right?
[19:47] ---
    I don't know.
[19:49] ---
    I think that's something Renton...
[19:50] ---
    Something your father has
    been seeking for a long time.
[19:54] ---
    But it's not complete.
[19:57] ---
    I'll give it a try.
[19:59] ---
    I'll make that gun complete and...
[20:03] ---
    When that time comes,
    I'll go to where you are, Mom!
[20:06] ---
    I won't let anyone else have it!
[20:19] ---
    Well, well...
[20:33] ---
    Mom, please tell me...
[20:35] ---
    Where are you?
[20:41] ---
    So you'll shoot me...
[20:43] ---
    Go ahead, shoot! Shoot me!
[20:46] ---
    And change the world for me!
[20:48] ---
    You're a child of the Scub Corals.
[20:50] ---
    I'm Johansson's son.
[20:53] ---
    Then we have no choice but to fight!
[20:55] ---
    That's our destiny!
[20:58] ---
    Destiny has nothing to do with this.
[21:01] ---
    I'm not fighting because of anything like that!
[21:36] ---
    Allied Forces, huh?
[21:43] ---
    I can't fire it...
[21:45] ---
    If I fire it, something else will change again.
[21:47] ---
    I don't want to do that.
[21:49] ---
    I'm Niki Tanaka of the Allied Forces,
    stationed at the Okinawa Base.
[21:53] ---
    Ao Fukai.
[21:55] ---
    We are prepared to take
    you in under our protection.
[21:59] ---
    Protection...
[22:01] ---
    Your presence has become more than
    what Generation Bleu can handle.
[22:06] ---
    Don't you think so?
[22:09] ---
    Ao, move! We'll open fire!
[22:11] ---
    It's okay! Elena! Fleur!
