**[01:42] ---**
So, are you going to pilot it again?
**[01:45] ---**
No, I won't pilot it anymore.
**[01:48] ---**
Why not?
**[01:50] ---**
Because people will hate me even more then.
**[01:54] ---**
I've never done anything wrong,
**[01:56] ---**
but everyone's always treated me
like a foreigner and hated me.
**[02:00] ---**
I thought it was only natural, too.
**[02:03] ---**
But I've had enough.
**[02:06] ---**
Ao...
**[02:08] ---**
I'm...
**[02:10] ---**
...a middle schooler now, after all.
**[02:29] ---**
Whoa!
**[02:30] ---**
This is Kusaremaguro's new song!
**[02:51] ---**
Coming! Coming!
**[02:53] ---**
Coming! Coming! Just hold on a minute!
**[02:54] ---**
Really! This is not proper behavior, Fleur!
**[02:56] ---**
Where I choose to update my blog
from is none of your business!
**[02:59] ---**
Chief! Answer it if you're here!
**[03:02] ---**
I poured myself too much coffee, you see.
**[03:04] ---**
Honestly!
**[03:07] ---**
This is the Triton. State your business.
**[03:09] ---**
I'm so sorry.
**[03:13] ---**
You can see the situation I've ended up in...
**[03:16] ---**
Wha...?!
**[03:25] ---**
Found it!
**[03:27] ---**
Dad doesn't like Noa, so I hid her in here.
**[03:35] ---**
What are you doing, Noa?!
**[03:40] ---**
What are you going to do now, Ao?
**[03:43] ---**
I don't know.
**[03:44] ---**
Looking like this, I'll stand
out no matter where I go.
**[03:49] ---**
Quick!
**[03:50] ---**
Catch him!
**[03:52] ---**
What?
**[03:53] ---**
Naru!
**[03:54] ---**
Father?!
**[03:55] ---**
Mr. Arata?!
**[03:57] ---**
I swear! I've told you that
animal fur isn't good for you!
**[04:00] ---**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[04:01] ---**
Father, make them stop!
**[04:04] ---**
Naru!
**[04:06] ---**
Naru, we have to hurry up
and get back to the hospital!
**[04:18] ---**
So it was true!
**[04:19] ---**
Because of him, the island has...
**[04:22] ---**
People are coming.
Bring him to my rehearsal studio.
**[04:24] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[04:30] ---**
Noa...
**[04:34] ---**
Ao...
**[04:38] ---**
But this sure was clever of him.
**[04:40] ---**
No one from outside this island
would ever notice this place.
**[04:44] ---**
Everyone who grew up on
the island knows about it.
**[04:47] ---**
Though only because we played here as kids.
**[04:50] ---**
It's no use. I can't get it running.
**[04:52] ---**
No way it's got some special lock
on it just because it's the JAF's.
**[04:55] ---**
It's not the JAF's.
**[04:58] ---**
Word is, they bought up
parts that were in storage
**[05:00] ---**
in America and France.
**[05:02] ---**
So it's a hybrid... no, a tri-brid...
**[05:05] ---**
Move over, Pippo!
**[05:06] ---**
You can try it, but it's impossible.
**[05:10] ---**
Sheesh!
**[05:12] ---**
Then how did that foreign brat
get it up and running?!
**[05:16] ---**
But you know, that brat...
**[05:18] ---**
I think he was flying FPs before
he was even in grade school, right?
**[05:22] ---**
Without having been taught by anyone.
**[05:30] ---**
Where to?
**[05:31] ---**
I'm bringing the guy who can operate it.
**[05:34] ---**
But he said he wouldn't pilot it anymore.
**[05:37] ---**
Sure he will.
**[05:39] ---**
He *will* pilot it.
**[05:43] ---**
I've seen you often enough on the news,
**[05:45] ---**
but I guess you guys are the real deal.
**[05:47] ---**
Gener... No. Generang...
**[05:49] ---**
Generation Bleu.
**[05:51] ---**
We take our name from the blue generation.
**[05:53] ---**
Right, right. You specialize in
defeating G-Monsters, right?
**[05:57] ---**
They've even made an anime about you.
**[06:01] ---**
You're Pied Piper, right?!
**[06:03] ---**
You help people in trouble, right?!
**[06:06] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[06:07] ---**
Please help my mom!
**[06:10] ---**
She's over there!
**[06:11] ---**
And a one, two...!
**[06:15] ---**
Missy, these people have
already done their jobs.
**[06:20] ---**
Go on.
**[06:22] ---**
Chief?!
**[06:23] ---**
We'll be more than able
to handle the negotiations.
**[06:27] ---**
Right!
**[06:29] ---**
Hold on, okay? I'll go get Alleluia.
**[06:31] ---**
Alleluia?
**[06:32] ---**
My IFO!
**[06:35] ---**
So it's true that IFOs can
only be operated by children.
**[06:40] ---**
Even last night, that Ao...
**[06:42] ---**
Oh-ho. Ao?
**[06:44] ---**
Might that be the pilot of
the IFO we saw yesterday?
**[06:47] ---**
Oh, well...
**[06:49] ---**
It's just a rumor...
**[06:52] ---**
I see. This is very interesting.
**[06:55] ---**
Chief! What about our meeting with the SDF?!
**[06:58] ---**
They won't even be serving rice brandy, right?
**[07:00] ---**
I'll leave it to you, Deputy Chief.
**[07:04] ---**
"Jasmine Tea"
**[07:06] ---**
To the United Okinawa and Ryukyu Islands,
that is a precious Scub Coral.
**[07:10] ---**
"Noble Spirit"
**[07:11] ---**
The second that we've secured.
**[07:13] ---**
You will not be granted access for
your "investigation and research."
**[07:16] ---**
The Scub Coral has not
been completely destroyed!
**[07:20] ---**
If left alone, another Secret
will make an appearance!
**[07:23] ---**
Secret?
**[07:25] ---**
Oh, I'd heard that that's
what scholars call G-Monsters.
**[07:29] ---**
A Secret, huh?
**[07:31] ---**
I've never heard of a Secret
appearing in the same place twice.
**[07:36] ---**
We would like you to leave the country at once.
**[07:44] ---**
"Persuasion is better than force."
**[07:47] ---**
H-Have you finished talking with the SDF?
**[07:50] ---**
I have come to claim Elena Peoples,
who is a member of our team.
**[07:55] ---**
Rendezvous with Fleur.
**[07:57] ---**
Covertly monitor the Scub Coral from the sea.
**[08:00] ---**
Yes, Ma'am.
**[08:01] ---**
What about you, Miss Rebecka?
**[08:03] ---**
I'm going to...
**[08:05] ---**
...sing one song before I go.
**[08:13] ---**
As long as the Quartz is here,
**[08:15] ---**
another Secret will come, without fail.
**[08:51] ---**
"Kaneshiro Ryukyuan Poetry School"
**[08:52] ---**
An alien kid serving as a spy
for the Japan Armed Forces?!
**[08:57] ---**
The giant...
**[08:59] ---**
If you mean the Sea Colossus, I know about it.
**[09:02] ---**
It's a huge boulder.
**[09:04] ---**
Not the Sea Colossus!
It's what you were piloting!
**[09:17] ---**
It's been a long time, Ao.
**[09:19] ---**
"An Evening Talk on True Independence"
**[09:20] ---**
Have we met?
**[09:22] ---**
So you don't remember?
**[09:24] ---**
Well, it was ten years ago
that I used to go to Mr. Fukai.
**[09:29] ---**
Back when your mother was still here.
**[09:34] ---**
I want to ask you something.
**[09:36] ---**
Why do you hate me?
**[09:40] ---**
I said it many times...
**[09:42] ---**
That we shouldn't get involved with
the woman who came from the sky.
**[09:49] ---**
So, it's already been 13 years...
**[09:53] ---**
That time...
**[09:55] ---**
That time, Mitsuo apparently saw it happen, too.
**[10:14] ---**
Ao's mother...
**[10:15] ---**
...suddenly came falling out of a clear sky.
**[10:33] ---**
"Alien" "Foreigner" "Get Out"
**[10:35] ---**
Let's get out of here!
**[10:37] ---**
"Fukai Medical Practice"
**[10:40] ---**
It was before we'd become independent.
**[10:44] ---**
The Americans came looking for her,
**[10:47] ---**
but Toshio Fukai gave
her refuge and Ao was born.
**[10:52] ---**
The men speculated that they might be aliens.
**[10:56] ---**
And they hate Ao just for that?!
**[10:58] ---**
That's terrible!
**[10:59] ---**
That's not it!
**[11:01] ---**
That family brought misfortune with them.
**[11:05] ---**
They angered the Sea Colossus.
**[11:08] ---**
The Sea Colossus?
**[11:26] ---**
When you were about three years old,
**[11:28] ---**
a Scub Coral near the main island Burst.
**[11:32] ---**
You can still see the remains of it now.
**[11:35] ---**
And then, the US military found your mother.
**[11:39] ---**
They took her away and shortly
after that, the Burst died down.
**[11:44] ---**
Rumors circulated among us.
**[11:47] ---**
That it was that woman who
had angered the Sea Colossus
**[11:49] ---**
and caused all that to happen.
**[11:52] ---**
That it was that woman who had called the Scub.
**[11:56] ---**
That's got nothing to do with me or Anma...
**[11:58] ---**
With me or my mother!
**[12:00] ---**
At the same time,
**[12:02] ---**
numerous families visiting the
main island were caught in the Burst.
**[12:08] ---**
The only one who survived
was Arata's daughter, Naru.
**[12:16] ---**
That's why you all hated me?
**[12:18] ---**
Then what was I supposed to do?
**[12:21] ---**
What could I have done?!
**[12:24] ---**
There is nothing you can do.
**[12:28] ---**
But we cannot forgive you and your mother.
**[12:33] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[12:37] ---**
Damn it!
**[12:39] ---**
It was after the Scub Coral
popped up on the main island
**[12:42] ---**
that the Trapar Bubble started, right?
**[12:44] ---**
It's been one good thing after another.
**[12:46] ---**
Only the main island benefited.
**[12:49] ---**
And we lost our fishing rights in
negotiations with the Chinese, too.
**[12:52] ---**
Our island was kind of falling apart back then.
**[12:55] ---**
The island was changing.
**[12:58] ---**
And our fathers wanted someone to blame.
**[13:04] ---**
Now... Wreck it.
**[13:09] ---**
What does Generation Bleu want with that child?
**[13:13] ---**
I once knew a woman with blue hair.
**[13:18] ---**
I want to know what color
hair this child's mother had.
**[13:27] ---**
H-Hold it right there!
**[13:28] ---**
Wh-Why, you...!
**[13:30] ---**
How did you operate that IFO?
**[13:33] ---**
The Nirvash.
**[13:34] ---**
The Nir... vash?
**[13:37] ---**
There was a woman who used to call it that.
**[13:40] ---**
She called it the Nirvash.
**[13:48] ---**
This is overkill!
**[13:50] ---**
Hurry!
**[13:52] ---**
Come on, get in!
**[13:54] ---**
What's taking you so long?!
**[13:56] ---**
Move!
**[13:57] ---**
Jiro!
**[13:58] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[14:02] ---**
Aw, man.
**[14:03] ---**
Jiro?
**[14:04] ---**
That's Gazelle's name.
**[14:05] ---**
He's... Gazelle's old man?!
**[14:08] ---**
I don't know any Jiro! I'm Gazelle!
**[14:10] ---**
That's my real name!
**[14:12] ---**
Real, my ass! You undutiful son!
**[14:15] ---**
Get off, Reo! You idiot!
**[14:17] ---**
I'm sorry, Dad! I'm sorry!
**[14:20] ---**
Him, too?!
**[14:21] ---**
We're going to use him to negotiate
with the Japan Armed Forces!
**[14:24] ---**
For Okinawa to gain true independence!
**[14:26] ---**
That's enough!
**[14:30] ---**
Jiro?!
**[14:32] ---**
When we were brats, we were
always picking on this guy.
**[14:36] ---**
Never letting him forget he was a foreigner.
**[14:38] ---**
Do you know why?!
**[14:41] ---**
It's because you...
It's because all the adults said
**[14:45] ---**
that he was the son of a foreigner! Of an alien!
**[14:47] ---**
That he and his mom were
to blame for everything!
**[14:51] ---**
For how we lost our fishing rights!
**[14:52] ---**
And for this pseudo-independence!
**[14:54] ---**
We blamed it all on Ao!
**[14:57] ---**
And yet, you turned down
the Scub compensation money?!
**[15:02] ---**
You children could never
understand! You listen to me!
**[15:04] ---**
I thought we won our independence!
**[15:07] ---**
From Japan! And from America! And from China!
**[15:11] ---**
Then do it!
**[15:12] ---**
Don't just talk the talk! Do it!
**[15:21] ---**
So that's how it is, then?
**[15:24] ---**
Just watch. *We'll* do it.
**[15:28] ---**
*We* will!
**[15:44] ---**
H-Hey.
**[15:46] ---**
What the heck is this?!
**[15:49] ---**
A G-Monster...?
**[15:51] ---**
That thing's just way too big.
**[15:53] ---**
I wonder if Dad and the others
will be able to escape in time.
**[15:55] ---**
Those bastards!
This damned island! Hell if I care!
**[15:58] ---**
Yesterday, you said to protect the island!
**[16:01] ---**
Shut up! We're friends, aren't we?
**[16:04] ---**
Don't give me that crap.
**[16:06] ---**
Friends?
**[16:06] ---**
Get your IFO running.
**[16:08] ---**
We'll go to war against
the JAF and the US military!
**[16:11] ---**
I don't want to.
**[16:12] ---**
What?!
**[16:13] ---**
I don't want to pilot it anymore.
**[16:15] ---**
This is what I got for piloting it!
**[16:17] ---**
Let me off at Gramps' place.
**[16:28] ---**
No way...
**[16:34] ---**
Gramps...
**[16:36] ---**
Gramps!
**[16:40] ---**
You...
**[16:43] ---**
Ao!
**[16:45] ---**
"Foreigner"
"Get Out"
**[16:46] ---**
Don't you blame anyone. You mustn't blame them.
**[16:50] ---**
But they even set fire to the place!
**[16:52] ---**
Even then.
**[16:54] ---**
All the adults were born on this
island and they'll die here, too.
**[16:59] ---**
They can't live anywhere except on this island!
**[17:02] ---**
They love this island, so all they
want is to protect this island.
**[17:07] ---**
I want you to understand that.
**[17:09] ---**
"I'm sorry..."
**[17:12] ---**
Is that what he meant by "I'm sorry"?
**[17:16] ---**
Is that what that was?
**[17:23] ---**
Gramps, run.
**[17:25] ---**
Get to the ocean if you can!
**[17:27] ---**
Oh, hey!
**[17:28] ---**
Ao! Ao!
**[17:33] ---**
I used to...
**[17:36] ---**
I used to love this island, too!
**[18:03] ---**
Look at how huge that thing is!
**[18:04] ---**
I don't care where! Just hit the damn thing!
**[18:07] ---**
Captain!
**[18:08] ---**
What is it?
**[18:08] ---**
It's Generation Bleu.
They're offering their expert advice.
**[18:12] ---**
Put them through!
**[18:14] ---**
My apologies for earlier today.
**[18:16] ---**
Not at all. We are about to launch
an attack against the G-Monster.
**[18:21] ---**
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
**[18:23] ---**
What?!
**[18:25] ---**
Secrets emit powerful electromagnetic
pulses around themselves
**[18:28] ---**
and destroy electronic equipment.
**[18:31] ---**
They also react to attacks, such as
conventional warheads, and return fire.
**[18:34] ---**
Conventional weapons are ineffective.
**[18:36] ---**
We've been publicizing these
facts for over ten years now,
**[18:40] ---**
but people still just don't seem to get it!
**[18:43] ---**
Then what do you expect us to do?!
**[18:45] ---**
FPs and IFOs are the only things
the Secrets are slow to detect.
**[18:49] ---**
The only IFOs in the vicinity
are the two that we have, so...
**[18:52] ---**
Three.
**[18:57] ---**
HQ is renegotiating the contract
with the Okinawan government,
**[19:00] ---**
but we have determined that the
earlier Scub Burst is still in effect.
**[19:04] ---**
Team Pied Piper will now engage in
an operation to eliminate the Secret.
**[19:09] ---**
I appreciate it.
**[19:11] ---**
Think nothing of it.
**[19:13] ---**
ZOA mapping complete.
**[19:19] ---**
Be careful to always position
yourself outside the ZOA.
**[19:22] ---**
Okay.
**[19:24] ---**
Let's go, Kyrie!
**[19:34] ---**
O-N boys at full power!
**[19:44] ---**
We're good. It can't see us.
**[19:46] ---**
We're right next to the Scub, after all.
**[19:48] ---**
One more round!
**[19:54] ---**
Why, you...!
**[20:06] ---**
Sorry!
**[20:07] ---**
I let two slip through!
**[20:08] ---**
No worries. I'll destroy them. So you
take care of your own evasive action.
**[20:20] ---**
Sorry. Are you okay?
**[20:21] ---**
No way. This is nothing.
**[20:23] ---**
Whoa, which is it?
**[20:27] ---**
Here they come.
**[20:28] ---**
You said it.
**[20:29] ---**
The party has arrived.
**[20:36] ---**
You said you wouldn't pilot it.
Seriously, what's up with you?
**[20:39] ---**
I'm fighting the G-Monster.
**[20:41] ---**
That thing's too huge.
**[20:42] ---**
If yesterday's was a fighter plane,
this one's an aircraft carrier!
**[20:46] ---**
Are you going to protect them?
**[20:47] ---**
Those stupid adults who clobbered you?!
**[20:50] ---**
I don't want to pilot it.
**[20:53] ---**
Once I do, I'll be an alien for real.
**[20:56] ---**
But if I don't, I'm sure I'll regret it someday.
**[21:00] ---**
Like your old man.
**[21:03] ---**
Ao...
**[21:05] ---**
I...
**[21:06] ---**
I don't want to have to say
"I'm sorry" to some kid!
**[21:19] ---**
Anma?
**[21:22] ---**
Don't move, Ao.
**[21:26] ---**
This way, Nirvash will remember you.
**[21:30] ---**
