[00:23] Akira     Not in my wildest dreams. [00:37] Akira     Did... I do this? [02:41] G     Yo, Natsume, give me your ID.     I'll invite you to the next mixer.

[03:37] Sh     I think you should fight     through the fear and dive into it. [03:42] Sh     You never know. It might change something. [03:44] A     Sounds convincing, given how you transformed. [03:47] A     You used to be more of a weakling than me. [03:49] A     How'd you do it? What's the secret? [03:51] Sh     Hard work! [03:52] A     What? [03:54] Sh     I went through hell after Mom and Dad passed. [03:58] Sh     All thanks to my dear li'l bro here. [04:01] A     I know, I know.     And I'm thankful for all you've done.

[08:50] A     Androids were still a sci-fi concept     back in my day. [08:55] A     Come to think of it,     my brother was researching them. [08:58] Al     Android technology hit a major breakthrough     in the latter half of the '10s. [09:04] Al     The research team that'd later spawn     Iriya Heavy Industries [09:08] Al     published a revolutionary theory. [09:11] Al     After the Tokyo Attack, we were mass-produced     to help rescue and repair efforts, [09:16] Al     and we grew rapidly in number. [09:18] Al     A worldwide market for androids     sprang up overnight. [09:22] A     Oh... [09:23] Al     But the biggest factor in getting androids     to this point was the military-industrial complex [09:30] Al     with its R&D on using androids as weapons     or tools to replace manual labor. [09:36] Al     As we quickly gained a foothold in society, [09:39] Al     we also became a target of criticism     and hatred for taking human jobs and status. [09:46] A     Oh. That kinda sucks. [09:50] Al     What does? [09:51] A     You have to ask? [09:53] Al     There's no problem at all. [09:55] Al     We are tools built to serve humanity. [10:04] Kim     A company truck of yours was spotted     transporting something to Mraw's mansion. [10:11] Kim     What did you sell him? [10:14] Nguyen     Whatever could you mean?

[05:39] A     Where are Minami and Kondo? [05:41] Al     They and Lieutenant Miyabe are acting     as bodyguards for a certain group. [05:46] A     And who is that? [05:51] Al     A political organization called Jinkoku-sha     and its president, Hayama Gaho. [05:56] Al     He pulls all the strings in the Japanese economy     without ever taking the spotlight.

Policemen guarding Jinkoku-sha? [07:51] Ngu     And they even sent in Number 00.     The Japanese government is going all out. [08:00] Auc     I hope you all enjoyed the show. [08:09] Auc     It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Auctioneer. [08:14] Auc     Thank you very much for taking part     in this EX-ARM auction. [08:20] Auc     Without further ado, let's take a look     at the EX-ARM lineup available today. [08:39] Auc     Our first piece played a major role     in the suicide bombings here on the Megafloat [08:44] Auc     and shook Japan to its very core.     It's the EX-ARM that can turn people into bombs, [08:48] Auc     Number 9! [08:52] Auc     Next, the mystery EX-ARM that's making its way     onto the market for the first time, [08:57] Auc     Number 16! [09:00] Auc     And finally, today's main attraction... [09:04] Auc     The legendary creation behind     the famous Tokyo Attack, Number 11! [09:13] A     Man, what the hell?     Is he its original wielder? [09:17] Al     We don't know that. [09:19] Al     But he can't be projecting that hologram     from too far away. [09:22] Al     Auctioneer must be on this island. [09:26] Auc     However, these three are the only EX-ARMs     up for grabs. [09:32] Auc     And while I realize this may be unreasonable, [09:35] Auc     I want to limit this auction     to three bidders. [09:39] Auc     I'll let you all decide those three     in any way you see fit. [09:46] Auc     Once you're down to three,     we'll begin the auction, [09:49] Auc     and the highest bidder for each EX-ARM     will go home with it. [09:55] Auc     I wish you all the most wonderful EX-ARM. [10:00] Kim     This is gonna turn out     to be one nasty auction. [10:05] Kim     Don't you get it? [10:07] Kim     Auctioneer just told the participants     to fight each other! [10:12] Gah     N-Number 11... [10:15] Gah     The demonic light that destroyed Japan. [10:19] Gah     I'll never forget that light     I saw during the attack. [10:23] Gah     Its dark glow brought Japan to its knees! [10:27] Gah     We must seal it away forever     by our own hands. [10:31] Gah     Letting criminal scum have it     is out of the question! [10:37] Gah     We must win all the EX-ARMs     that are being auctioned off here. [10:42] Gah     It doesn't matter how much money it takes! [10:44] Gah     Make sure we win at all cos— [10:48] Mid     Grandfather! [10:49] Miy     Are you okay? [10:53] Kon     Crap. We need to go back to the hotel. [10:56] Miy     G-Got it! [11:02] Ngy     Now, shall we begin? [11:09] Wani     The politicking between groups     is about to start. [11:14] Wani     This should be fun. [11:17] Bat     Let me give you some advice.     Join us, and we'll take out those guys. [11:21] AJ     I don't plan on working with anyone. [11:25] Bat     What, you wanna play lone wolf? [11:28] Bat     We have an EX-ARM wielder, you know?     You'll regret this. [11:31] Evo     Shit, shit, shit, shit! [11:33] AJ     And if you wish to oppose     the people of the desert, [11:37] AJ     you'd best be ready to face the consequences. [11:42] Bat     Tch. Who does he think he is? [11:44] Ngu     That's too bad. [11:46] Ngu     If it's a business partner you want,     I daresay I'll be a better fit. [11:58] Dar     Man, what a shame.

[13:16] A     Uh, could you tell me more about Jinkoku-sha?     I don't know anything about them. [13:21] Miy     Sure, but remember that     this is only Public Safety's perspective. [13:26] Miy     After the 2020 Tokyo Attack, [13:28] Miy     which shattered the country's spine,     what it needed most [13:32] Miy     was an entity that commanded great financial     and political power, even if illegally. [13:37] Miy     That situation helped Jinkoku-sha thrive. [13:41] Kon     I hear they did some real bad shit     to make it happen. [13:46] Miy     Of course.

[03:09] A     I'm gonna shove a new ending     down your throat, Beta! [03:21] B     Don't get ahead of yourself! [03:23] B     I'll slap you down myself! [03:32] B     Alpha! [03:39] Min     How is he generating     so much power at that size? [03:45] A     I'm gonna destroy you now! [03:48] B     Big words, little man. [03:49] B     You can't do whatever it takes, like I can! [03:55] Min     Kimura! [03:58] A     Take care of the squad for me! [04:00] Kim     You got it, bro! [04:03] So     Not so fast. [04:09] Ygg     They're in perfect sync. [04:11] A     Alma and I will handle things here. [04:13] A     Minami, Ygg, I leave Jinkoku-sha to you! [04:16] Min     Okay, but Soma's... [04:23] Ygg     I knocked her out gently. [04:26] Ygg     What's about to happen     will be too painful for her to take. [04:34] Kim     Let's bounce! [04:40] A     You're dealing with me. [04:42] So     Stupid machine! [04:52] B     I'm not done yet!     I have plenty of raw material! [04:56] B     I'm just getting started! [05:00] Ngu     What a sight. [05:05] (Flashback) Iri     I've ascertained the EX-ARMs     to be a gift from space. [05:10] (Flashback) Iri     Weapons that invoke almost supernatural     abilities when connected to a life form. [05:26] A     I'm sorry to make you keep me company, Alma. [05:30] Al     Don't be. I'm doing this because I want to. [05:36] A     Let's win, then. [05:40] A     Let's win, and go back home! [05:44] Al     Yeah. [05:48] A     Number 21's ability     is to freeze air in place. [05:53] A     It can use that power     for both attack and defense. [05:57] A     You handle Soma, Alma. [05:59] Al     Got it. I'm taking one of your weapons. [06:02] B     You little punks... [06:06] B     I'll teach you not to take me lightly! [06:10] A     This ends here! [06:19] Kim     Okay, this should keep the geezer alive     for the time being. [06:23] Kon     But nobody can heal her wounds. [06:28] Ygg     We must escape this area as soon as possible. [06:31] All     Yeah. [06:33] So     I'm coming for you, Hayama Gaho. [06:48] Al     Let's finish this, Soma. [07:56] So     Die, stupid puppet! [07:59] Al     I'll stop your list of crimes     from growing any further. [08:42] Al     He can use his power     in only two places at once. [08:45] Al     That's one. [08:47] Al     And he'll use the other     to make a landing pad. [08:52] Al     Just as predicted. [08:55] So     How... You shouldn't be capable of this. [09:00] Al     I'm not who I used to be. [09:06] Al     You can't block this bullet. [09:13] Al     I'm not just a sacrificial pawn anymore. [09:17] Al     I wasn't ordered to do this.     I was asked to. [09:20] Al     From now on, I'll fight for myself     and the people I care about... [09:25] Al     of my own free will! [09:27] Kim     What's she mean? [09:30] Ygg     I realized something     when I got rid of her brainwashing. [09:34] Ygg     The rule set that governs an android's actions,     like absolute obedience to humans, [09:38] Ygg     and the restrictions placed on her self-defense     and computational abilities, [09:43] Ygg     had all been overwritten. [09:44] Kon     You mean Alma's... [09:46] Ygg     All her mental and physical limiters     have been removed. [09:51] Ygg     She can kill a person without being     ordered to... of her own free will. [09:55] Ygg     She has become the freest piece     of technology in human history! [10:04] So     Go ahead and shoot. I'll never give     in to a mere machine like you, [10:09] So     not even if it kills me. [10:21] Al     That was artificial muscle     exploding under too much stress. [10:25] Al     He put his very life at risk there,     because his whole exoframe could've exploded. [10:30] Al     He's just as broken as the others. SIGN    Illustration by Komi Shinya [11:00] Al     It's over, Soma. [11:03] So     Kill me. [11:05] So     I said, "Kill me"! [11:08] Al     Your body is so damaged     that it can't even keep you alive. [11:13] Al     You knew you wouldn't last three minutes     out of the suit. [11:16] Al     So why did you do this? [11:19] So     My thirst for revenge     is the only humanity I have left! [11:22] So     If I lost it, I'd just be a machine! [11:25] So     Just shoot me now! Do it! [11:29] Al     Do I even need to? [11:31] So     Don't you pity me. [11:33] Al     I can't. [11:35] Al     I don't understand how you feel. [11:40] So     That's fine. [11:42] So     I'd rather die than have a     machine sympathize with me. [11:46] Al     I used to think I couldn't understand     people because I was a machine. [11:52] Al     But I was wrong, wasn't I? [11:55] Al     Even if I were human,     I still wouldn't understand. [11:59] Al     Because I'm not you. [12:02] Al     Having an almost human-like freedom     made me finally see it. [12:07] Al     How lonesome it can be to be untethered. [12:11] Al     That is why one loves one's fellow man. [12:13] Al     That is why one seeks companionship. [12:17] Al     And that solitude is what breeds resentment. [12:24] Al     If that resentment is what keeps you going, [12:29] Al     there's nothing I can say. [12:32] So     Shoot me. [12:34] So     Enough talk. [12:37] So     The flame of revenge has been burning me up     from within since the day I lost it all. [12:46] So     I cursed them all. [12:49] So     The terrorists, this world, [12:51] So     and even my parents and sister! [12:59] So     Stop it! [13:00] Al     I won't. [13:02] Al     Even if you are to pass away     consumed by hatred, [13:05] Al     I'm sure Minami would've embraced you     as you are. [13:10] So     Cut it out! [13:12] So     I never asked for this! [13:21] So     I thought I'd forgotten the warmth     of human touch a long time ago! [13:29] (Flashback) So     Happy birthday, Sis. [13:34] (Flashback) So     It's a set. [13:37] (Flashback) Min     Thanks, Soma! [13:39] (Flashback) Min     I'll keep this with me forever! [13:52] Mid     She shed a tear. [13:56] Kon     This is all too much for Minami.     No, for anyone. [14:03] Kon     We'll leave the village     and enter the tunnel to the mainland soon. [14:06] Kon     We'll play no further role in this. [14:10] A     I fight to protect the people dear to me! [14:14] A     That's how it is, and how it's always been! [14:16] Auc     That's right. That emotion is proof     that you are alive, Natsume Akira. [14:24] A     This is the end! [14:28] B     Hey, watch where you're shooting! [14:43] Ngu     We must retreat. Send a car. [14:53] Al     The rest is up to Akira. [15:07] A     After everything you've done,     I won't let there be any doubts about the outcome. [15:12] A     It's you or me!     Only the victor shall survive! [15:25] A     Leave this to me and escape. [15:29] A     Get going! [15:31] Auc     No, I must end him. [15:47] A     Hey! [15:53] A     Bro? [15:55] Ari     "Bro"? Wait, Natsume Shuichi?! [15:59] Chi     Natsume Akira's elder brother,     who worked on AI and android research at Iriya... [16:05] Chi     He's Auctioneer?! [16:07] Chi     I thought he went missing     after the Tokyo Attack! [16:15] A     You look like my brother,     but you're not him, right? [16:23] Auc     Yes, that's right. [16:25] Auc     I'm a clone that Natsume Shuichi built,     knowing he would die. [16:31] Ari     A clone? [16:37] Auc     He made me to atone for the sin     of being involved in the creation of Beta. [16:44] Chi     He... created Beta?! [16:49] Kao     Of all the foolish... [16:52] Auc     It all started sixteen years ago. [17:01] Auc     An unforeseen accident took Akira's life. [17:07] (Flashback) Iri     Come with me, Natsume. [17:11] (Flashback) Shu     Professor Iriya? [17:14] (Flashback) Iri     This is an EX-ARM. Ever heard of it? [17:18] (Flashback) Iri     I've ascertained them     to be a gift from space. [17:24] (Flashback) Iri     Weapons that invoke almost supernatural     abilities when connected to a life form. [17:33] (Flashback) Iri     They're fitted with technology far beyond     the capabilities of modern science. [17:43] (Flashback) Shu     What is that? [17:44] (Flashback) Iri     It's your brother's brain inside this thing. [17:48] (Flashback) Iri     This particular EX-ARM is activated     by placing a human brain in it. [17:53] (Flashback) Shu     No... [17:56] (Flashback) Iri     Your brother can live on     connected to this EX-ARM. [18:01] (Flashback) Shu     Not like this! [18:05] (Flashback) Iri     If we can unravel the mysteries     of the EX-ARMs, [18:07] (Flashback) Iri     your brother will have contributed greatly     to the advancement of science. [18:14] (Flashback) Iri     How do you choose to use his life? [18:17] (Flashback) Iri     As a scientist, what can you do for him? [18:23] (Flashback) Shu     What can I do for Akira? [18:26] (Flashback) Iri     His brain's still functioning.     All he needs is a body. [18:30] (Flashback) Shu     I can build an android body for Akira! [18:44] (Flashback) Iri     I wonder how the immense power     of EX-ARMs will change mankind. [18:52] (Flashback) Iri     Just as mankind finds ways     to use tools to its benefit, [18:56] (Flashback) Iri     it also finds ways to use them     to its detriment. [19:02] (Flashback) Iri     Let us begin. [19:21] (Flashback) Shu     Akira! [19:31] Iri     Fitted with the brain of Natsume Akira,     a human highly synchronized with tech, [19:36] Iri     we have EX-ARM Number 00 Alpha. [19:39] Iri     The other Number 00, Beta, [19:42] Iri     will be injected with this other matter     brought in with the EX-ARMs. [19:50] Iri     The birth of Beta will make the essence     of humanity clear for all to see. [19:59] (Flashback) Iri     I see! So that is your answer! [20:29] (Flashback) Shu     "The essence of humanity"?     It is our wills. [20:33] (Flashback) Shu     We don't let power consume us.     We control it. [20:41] (Flashback) A     Bro! [20:45] (Flashback) Shu     Even after I'm gone, my will shall live on! [20:49] (Flashback) Shu     It'll live on within you, Akira! [20:55] A     Bro... [20:59] Auc     I swore to myself, as a human being, [21:02] Auc     that I would do everything in my power     to be the gatekeeper of EX-ARMs. [21:16] A     I'm not letting you kill him again! [21:19] B     Looks like you've finally     remembered everything, Alpha! [21:25] A     The more memories I recover,     the more I'm convinced... [21:29] A     Beta, you can't be allowed     to exist in this world! [21:39] Auc     I have a plan. [21:43] Auc     I trust your mind is made up, Akira. [21:47] A     Yeah. I'm gonna put my best foot     forward this time! [23:25] Min     What does that crybaby idiot     think he's doing? [23:28] Min     How is he going to fight that monster? [23:32] A     Next time, on EX-ARM:     "Battle 011 - Proof of Humanity." SIGN    Proof of Humanity [23:35] Min     You better come back to us, Akira!

Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) SIGN    Proof of Humanity [00:10] A     Damn that Beta. Just how big is he gonna get? [00:15] Auc     He can change forms at will     and merge with other matter to grow in size. [00:19] A     But how can he do that? [00:21] Auc     That's Beta's own ability. [00:24] Auc     The ability the brain resting     within Number 00 Beta possesses [00:30] Auc     as a metal organism. [00:32] A     What? A "metal organism"? [00:36] A     Auctioneer! [00:40] Auc     It's okay. [00:42] Auc     I knew I would be killed. [00:45] Auc     That is why I made a clone. [00:51] A     Is that so? [00:53] A     If you've inherited Bro's memories,     there's a ton of stuff I wanna ask you. [00:58] A     But before that... [01:03] A     I'm gonna go finish the job     I left undone that day! [01:27] A     Here he comes. [01:28] A     But... [01:30] A     see how you like this! [01:37] B     I assume you were aiming for my brain, [01:40] B     but what makes you think I'd put it     in such an obvious place? [01:45] A     Shit! [01:46] Auc     You need more firepower. [01:49] Auc     We should get out of here for now! [01:58] A     He has us right where he wants us! [02:01] A     Can't you use that thing yet? [02:03] Auc     Number 11 takes a while     to recharge between shots. [02:13] A     But didn't he fire off multiple shots     in succession during the Tokyo Attack? [02:18] Auc     Number 11, the palm EX-ARM which     can produce supergravitional spaces, [02:24] Auc     performs to its potential only when paired     with its generator, Number 12, the arm. [02:33] Auc     But Number 12 is currently missing. [02:37] Auc     And without the generator, Number     11 is effective only over a two-kilometer range. [02:42] A     So, how long until you can use it again? [02:47] Auc     Around fifteen minutes, and Beta knows that. [02:51] Auc     He'll definitely try     to finish us off in that time. [02:57] A     Beta's tentacles? How'd they get here?! [03:02] Chi     Watch out, Akira! [03:04] Chi     Beta's rapidly absorbing     everything around him! [03:07] Chi     He's merging with the stadium...     No, with the entire Megafloat! [03:21] A     What? [03:26] B     You fool! [03:31] A     Wait, is this entire building a part of him? [03:34] Auc     Look out! [05:19] Ar     Did Akira just get swallowed whole?! [05:22] Chi     You can't be serious! [05:25] Ar     Wait, something seems off about Beta. [05:37] Chi     Come in, Akira! Are you okay?! [05:39] A     Yeah, somehow. [05:41] Chi     And Auctioneer? [05:43] A     Sorry, we were split up     right after Beta ate us. I'm alone now. [05:50] B     Number 11... [05:53] B     Number 11! [05:59] A     Beta! [06:01] B     Die. [06:04] Ar     Grab on, Akira! [06:12] A     Thanks. [06:20] Ar     That's 40 percent of the Tokyo Megafloat. [06:22] Ar     Beta's diameter has grown     past five kilometers now. [06:25] Ar     And he's still getting bigger. [06:29] Wani     What a disaster. [06:35] Wani     Wh-Where are you all going? [06:37] BB     We're evacuating     to the emergency bunker in Tachikawa. [06:40] Wani     Evacuating? You're just going     to run away from this?! [06:44] BB     Japan can recover as long as we're around.

[07:21] Brass     It seems Jinkoku-sha have escaped     the island along with your troops. [07:25] Shi     That's good. [07:26] Brass     Do you have a way to stop that thing? [07:29] Brass     Our President has authorized the use     of nuclear weapons if needed. [07:33] Brass     If you're out of options,     we're going to have to do what we do best. [07:38] Shi     Understood. I shall go with you. [07:43] Shi     I have a duty to see     how this whole thing plays out. [07:52] A     Auctioneer... [08:04] Auc     Am I inside you? [08:08] B     I'm here to take Number 11,     just as I said I would. [08:13] B     Were you trying to make     me complacent with the first shot [08:17] B     and then take me out with the second? [08:21] B     I'm going to take all three EX-ARMs you     put up for auction. [08:27] B     Number 9 was... "Human Bomber," was it? [08:31] B     It'll be fun to see everyone in Tokyo cower in fear     after I turn 'em all into bombs. [08:37] B     And then, Number 16.     I wonder what its ability is. [08:42] B     I can't wait to find out!     I've never used it before! [08:47] B     And lastly, my beloved Number 11! [08:52] B     It feels so super-duper good to make     things disappear into black holes. [08:58] B     I'll make good use of the EX-ARMs     and bring the world to its knees. [09:07] B     I just wish you could've seen it happen. [09:13] B     But whatever. Let's just get right to it. [09:15] B     Hands up! [09:18] B     Wha... What is that? [09:21] B     Why's Alpha's hand there? [09:23] B     Where's the EX-ARM? [09:25] B     How?! [09:26] Auc     I also wish I could've seen it happen. [09:29] Auc     Seen the moment you get sucked     into a black hole. [09:33] B     What? [09:35] Auc     I have given Akira all my EX-ARMs. [09:42] Auc     Number 11 is now literally in his hands! [09:54] B     No way! Impossible! [09:57] B     When did Alpha have the time     to take the EX-ARMs? [10:02] Auc     Did you really think I would throw     myself at you without a plan? [10:08] B     Wait, no... Was it Number 16?! [10:14] Auc     How I've waited for this time to come. [10:18] Auc     I'm going to use my entire existence     to destroy you! [10:27] A     Auctioneer. [10:42] (Flashback) A     Hang on, has time stopped? [10:46] (Flashback) Auc     That's right. This is Number 16's ability. [10:50] (Flashback) Auc     These three meters of space are     currently isolated from the flow of time. [10:57] (Flashback) A     That's crazy. I didn't know there     was an EX-ARM that could control time. [11:00] (Flashback) Auc     Sadly, it's not that powerful. [11:04] (Flashback) Auc     All it can do is isolate you     for a short while. [11:13] (Flashback) A     So we're still screwed? [11:16] (Flashback) Auc     No, we have more than ten minutes     before this sphere deactivates. [11:21] (Flashback) Auc     In that time,     I'll give you all the EX-ARMs I have. [11:26] (Flashback) Auc     I know you can get out by yourself,     even if we do end up getting swallowed. [11:31] (Flashback) Auc     Get out, and use this Number 11 to beat him! [11:37] A     Beta, I'm gonna destroy you with this! [11:49] B     Aren't you a spirited one? [11:51] B     Not sure what Number 16 does,     but I guess it'll let you fire off another shot now. [11:59] B     Let me ask you, though.     Where are you going to aim? [12:04] B     I know Number 11 by itself     isn't enough to take me out. [12:10] B     The black holes it can create     without Number 12 [12:13] B     cover only two kilometers at best. [12:16] B     Meanwhile, I've grown     to more than ten kilometers. [12:20] B     Do you think you can figure out     where my core is? [12:25] B     What are the odds you'll hit it in one shot? [12:30] Ar     He's right. Unless we hit the core—     the brain—his body will repair itself. [12:38] Chi     Are we out of options?     Even with Number 11?! [12:42] Chi     Can we still not beat that monster?!

Let us end the tragic cycle     that's made people across the world suffer. [15:57] Auc     Fight in order to protect everything,     Natsume Akira! [16:02] Auc     I used every second of what     little time I had to destroy him! [16:07] Auc     Don't let my life be in vain! [16:09] A     Okay, got it. [16:16] Auc     This is how it should be. [16:17] Auc     Don't hesitate.     Put your best foot forward, Akira. [16:23] (Flashback) Shu     Akira. [16:26] (Flashback) Shu     You've just gotta put your best foot forward. [16:29] (Flashback) Shu     If you want to change, that is. [16:35] A     I'm going to do just that, Bro! [16:45] B     Blowing yourself up won't do anything to me! [16:49] Auc     Do it, Akira! [17:04] A     Now! [17:05] A     Alisa, analyze the merging pattern     of the damaged part! [17:10] Ari     Akira? [17:11] A     He'll absorb matter from the part     closest to his core! [17:16] Ari     Right. That makes sense. [17:23] A     If we can decipher that pattern,     we should be able to locate the core. [17:30] A     That was the plan Auctioneer—     my bro—came up with! [17:34] Ari     It worked. [17:36] Ari     Point located. [17:39] Ari     Sending you the coordinates, Akira. [17:41] A     Roger! [17:46] A     There you are! [17:50] B     You blew yourself up?     Did you get desperate, Auctioneer? [17:54] B     You died for nothing. [17:57] B     I'll just kill Alpha now. [17:59] A     EX-ARM Number 11, boot up! [18:05] A     It's over, Beta! [18:13] B     Huh? No way... [18:16] B     How did you know?! [18:24] A     This is the end, Beta! [18:26] B     Don't! I'm Number 00, just like you! [18:30] A     Shut up! I'm not like you! [18:34] A     But, as a fellow Number 00, [18:38] A     I'm going to put an end     to all the tragedy you've caused! [18:47] B     I would never go down to you...     to you people! [18:52] A     This is it for you and me! [18:56] B     S-Stop! [18:58] B     No! [19:03] A     Go face all the people you killed! [19:50] Ygg     Minami! [19:54] Min     Is it over? [19:55] Ygg     Yeah. My dear won. [20:01] Min     Thank goodness. Good job, Akira. [20:05] Ari     Both energy and heat readings lost. [20:08] Chi     So it's really over? [20:11] Ari     Beta was completely sucked     into that black hole. [20:16] Shi     Indeed. Beta is gone from this world now. [20:19] Shi     Well done, Number 00. [20:21] Shi     No, Natsume Akira! [20:25] All     Yeah! [20:32] Min     Alma. [20:33] Al     Minami. [20:34] Min     I'm so glad you're okay! [20:39] Al     I am, but... [20:46] Al     I'm sorry. I killed Soma. [20:49] Min     No, I made you do something     that I should've done myself. [20:56] Min     Sorry. [21:04] A     Bro, Auctioneer... [21:09] A     Did you see that? [21:11] A     I avenged you both! [21:24] Rep     Th-That massive machine that showed     up earlier has suddenly stopped moving. [21:32] Rep     What was that all about? [23:22] Shi     Hmph. That Natsume Akira really did it. [23:26] Pil     Entering landing sequence. [23:28] Pil     Th-The controls aren't working! Come in, HQ! [23:40] A     Man, I never even imagined     the world would come to this. [23:45] A     But I'm the only one now     who can save Earth, right?

[00:32] A     Sorry, Alma.     I put you in a really difficult situation. [00:37] Al     No, the one taking it the hardest is... [00:42] A     Forgive me, Minami. [00:43] Min     It's okay. [00:45] Min     I know you both did everything you could. [00:49] Min     Thank you. [00:51] Min     But... I wish I could've helped him! [00:56] Min     I had no idea he was suffering so much! [01:02] Min     Sorry, Soma... [01:04] Min     I'm so sorry! [01:06] Min     I'm sorry... So sorry! [01:13] A     Minami. [01:16] Kon     Yo, looks like the geezer managed to survive. [01:19] A     Kondo. [01:21] Kon     What was that Beta thing, though? [01:24] Kon     Did Auctioneer know anything? [01:27] A     Well... [01:30] (Flashback) A     Hang on. Tell me one last thing before I go. [01:33] (Flashback) A     What exactly is Beta? [01:36] (Flashback) A     How did I end up becoming Number 00? [01:40] (Flashback) Auc     The only person likely to have     those answers is Doctor Iriya. [01:47] (Flashback) A     But isn't he long dead? [01:51] (Flashback) Auc     No. He's still alive,     just in a different form. [01:55] (Flashback) Auc     I was working in collaboration with him. [01:59] (Flashback) Auc     We're out of time. [02:02] (Flashback) Auc     Just know that Doctor Iriya will show himself     before you sooner rather than later. [02:09] Ari     Doctor Iriya... is alive? [02:13] Ygg     No way. [02:14] Al     He can't be. [02:17] Kao     Is that true? [02:20] Ygg     Mama Kaori! [02:22] Al     CEO. [02:25] A     Wait, so you are... [02:27] Kao     Yes. Munakata Kaori,     CEO of Iriya Heavy Industries. [02:31] A     Do you know everything, then? [02:35] Kao     No, only Doctor Iriya does. [02:42] A     What the...? [02:43] Al     An explosion? [02:44] Kon     It's coming from Kasumigaseki! [02:50] A     Fighter jets? [02:52] Ygg     They're turning around and coming this way! [02:56] Al     They're aiming for this building, Akira!

[03:18] A     What is going on? [03:20] Chi     We don't have much of a clue either,     but it seems we've been hacked. [03:24] Min     They're attacking Japan's political centers! [03:29] Chi     I'm afraid I have even more bad news. [03:35] Chi     Bombers had been deployed,     in case we couldn't put Beta down, [03:40] Chi     and Chief Shiga,     who was in one of them, has died. [03:50] Min     What? Even the chief? [04:08] Kao     Disaster Response!     Munakata here, give me a sitrep. [04:12] G     The whole building might go down!     Evacuate at once! [04:14] Ygg     The emergency staircase seems fine! [04:16] A     Got it! [04:27] A     What the hell is all this? [04:29] Kon     It's a scene out of hell. [04:31] Kao     This is a terrorist attack     involving large-scale hacking. [04:36] Min     Wait. We took out Beta, didn't we? [04:38] A     That much is for sure. [04:41] A     Number 11's black hole sucked in     his brain for sure. [04:45] Kim     So what, we're dealing with     Gamma now? Or Delta? [04:48] Kim     This is absurd! [04:50] A     Anyway, I'll go online     and look for the perp. [04:53] Min     Akira? [04:55] A     What? Why do I feel so sluggish? [04:57] Kao     You're at your limit. [05:00] Kao     If you strain yourself     any further, you'll die. [05:03] Min     No! [05:04] A     I don't care. Let me go. [05:14] A     I can't afford to stop now. [05:17] A     Actually, it's not about     what I can or can't do. [05:22] A     I want to keep going! [05:27] Min     Akira... [05:29] A     Minami, remember what you said     back when we first met? [05:35] (Flashback) Min     The strong must use their powers     to protect the weak! [05:42] A     With Ogre and the EX-ARMs, I'm a monster.     The strongest in the world. [05:49] A     So I'm going to fight for the weak,     just as you taught me to. [05:57] Min     Akira! [06:00] Min     Protect the world, please. [06:07] A     You got it! [06:11] Min     Heading to the building's basement! [06:13] Chi     Copy that! [06:16] Ari     Doctor Iriya is alive? [06:19] Ari     Doctor Iriya is alive. [06:23] Ari     Doctor Iriya is... [06:29] Ari     Now, I suppose I'll take a front-row seat     and see how my experiment plays out. [06:38] Chi     Where are you going, Doctor? [06:43] Kao     This is it. The basement. [06:47] Kao     Are you ready? [06:50] Ygg     My dear, I will support you with all I have. [06:53] Al     I'll be with you, too. [06:55] A     Thanks. [06:57] Kim     Look at this kid, acting all cool. [06:59] Kon     You better come back to us, Akira. [07:01] A     Gotcha! [07:05] Min     Be careful, Alma. And take care of Akira. [07:08] Al     Okay, Minami. [07:22] Ygg     Unlocking all my dear's networking capabilities. [07:27] Ygg     All of Tokyo, save for Iriya HQ,     is being taken over by the enemy. [07:32] Ygg     All the infrastructure and public transport     is out of control, too. [07:35] Min     Leave the real world to us. [07:38] Min     We'll keep things safe, no matter what. [07:41] A     Counting on ya. [07:42] A     Let's go, Ygg. [07:43] Ygg     Okay! Initializing connection! [07:51] A     What is that? [07:53] Ygg     An enemy attack program. [08:00] Ygg     I'll layer real-time footage     from the outside to our vision. [08:12] A     Is this the state of Tokyo's network right now? [08:18] A     Hey, that car's being attacked by some monster! [08:21] Ygg     That's the visualization of the attack command. [08:23] Al     I'll go. [08:28] A     I see now. [08:30] A     If we take them out,     we can stop all the chaos happening out there. [08:34] Al     There's too many of them, though. [08:37] Ygg     That storm... [08:38] Ygg     That's where the hack's originating from. [08:40] Ygg     We need to take it out. [08:42] A     Okay, I'll handle that. [08:43] A     You two focus on saving     as many people as you can. [08:46] Al     Akira? [08:48] Ygg     Take her with you. [08:50] A     Okay. Take care of things. [08:53] Ygg     Alma, we'll clean all this up     with parallel processing. [08:56] Al     Okay. [09:04] Ygg     No... [09:06] Ygg     This is Ichigaya. Has the Japanese military's     main server been taken over? [09:13] A     Ygg, what are those? [09:15] Ygg     Beta... or not. [09:17] Ygg     Their algorithms are similar     to Beta's thought process, [09:20] Ygg     but there are various other things mixed in. [09:24] Kao     It seems Akira made it to the main server. [09:27] G     Boss! The building's not gonna hold! [09:30] Kao     Have all the staff evacuated? [09:31] G     No, more than half are still in here. [09:33] Kao     What? [09:34] Kon     Guess we have a job to do. [09:38] Min     We'll go lead the evac. [09:39] Kim     Can't let Akira steal all the spotlight. [09:43] Kao     I'd appreciate that. [09:45] G     Nothing's working! We're gonna crash! [09:52] G     Controls back online! Correcting elevation! [09:56] Al     We'll keep casualties to a minimum.     Hurry up, Akira. [10:02] Min     And we'll keep things safe here as promised. [10:05] Min     So don't give up, Akira. [10:10] Min     Alisa? Weren't you in HQ? [10:18] Min     Wait, no. You are...? [10:22] Ari     Did you enjoy my Oscar-worthy performance? [10:24] Ari     I even modified my own memories     to get into the act. [10:28] Min     Who exactly are you? [10:31] Ari     Isn't identifying the enemy     a more pressing matter? [10:36] Ari     I can tell you what it is Natsume     Akira is fighting. SIGN    Illustration by Komi Shinya [10:49] A     Ugh! There's no end to them! [10:50] Ygg     The enemy's launching attacks     on networks worldwide [10:55] Ygg     and adding them to its arsenal as we speak. [10:58] A     What? [10:59] Ygg     Those monsters are virtual manifestations     of corrupted servers. [11:03] Ygg     As they expand, their processing power will grow     and make them more powerful. [11:07] A     Then we just gotta beat them down     and bring them back, right? [11:13] Ari     The thing Natsume Akira's fighting is... [11:17] Min     Wait, it's not still Beta, is it? [11:20] Ari     Beta itself vanished     into Number 11's black hole. [11:24] Ari     But there remained several AIs     that had been corrupted by it. [11:28] Min     You don't mean     the Amaterasu multibots' AI, do you? [11:32] Ari     Bingo. [11:34] Ari     The corrupted AIs were analyzed     by the JDF's tactical computers in Ichigaya. [11:41] Ari     But when the analytical AI came in contact     with Beta's malice and destructive urges, [11:46] Ari     they unlocked all the limiters placed on it. [11:49] Ari     It became a tactical AI     with a will of its own. [11:54] Ari     That's the root cause of all this chaos. [12:00] Ari     It's already infiltrating global networks,     not just Japan's. [12:07] Min     Akira! [12:08] Ygg     Bad news, my dear! [12:11] Al     ICBMs were just launched from military bases     under the enemy's control. [12:15] A     Where are the missiles headed? [12:18] Ygg     Their targets... are the entire planet. [12:21] A     What?! [12:22] Al     The first one will hit its target     in eleven minutes. [12:25] A     Got it. I'll get rid of those missiles. [12:28] A     Help me out here. [12:30] Bo     Sure! [12:32] A     Let's go! [12:37] Ygg     This is the peak altitude     of the ICBMs' trajectories. [12:40] Al     Look over there, Akira. [12:42] A     There they are. [12:43] A     What can we use? [12:51] A     Found something! [12:53] Ygg     The Japanese military's laser satellite? [12:56] A     I'm using it! [12:59] Al     Missiles getting closer! [13:01] A     Fire! [13:07] Ygg     You did it! [13:10] Chi     No, not yet. [13:12] Chi     Weapons all over the world... [13:15] Chi     are going out of control! [13:19] Al     All kinds of unmanned weapons     across the globe are being activated. [13:24] Al     Multibots, bombers, even ballistic missiles. [13:29] Ygg     They've all been taken over by those monsters. [13:32] A     Dammit! What the hell are those things? [13:36] Al     I've seen eyes like those before. [13:40] Al     The outlaws we've encountered so far     and their victims all had [13:43] Al     the blank stare you get when you fall     into the clutches of hatred and despair. [13:49] Al     So if I had it call it something... [13:53] Min     Human malice? [13:56] Ari     Exactly. [13:57] Ari     Those monsters are made of the tactical     programs installed on the main server [14:02] Ari     combined with a history of war... [14:04] Ari     Memories of mankind's fear and hatred. [14:07] Ari     It has taken the form     of a species that prospers [14:09] Ari     by killing nature, animals,     and even fellow humans. [14:13] Ari     You could call it     the face of humanity itself. [14:17] Ari     The EX-ARMs Natsume Akira possesses     can amplify human desires, [14:22] Ari     and thus can also amplify malice. [14:26] Min     No, you're forgetting something important. [14:31] Min     If EX-ARMs can amplify human desires, [14:34] Min     then they can also amplify the virtues     of mankind, and even its loving nature! [14:40] Ari     Maybe so. [14:42] Ari     But the malice is a force     to be reckoned with. [14:53] Ygg     My dear? [14:54] A     You two should disconnect from the network.     I'll handle the rest. [14:59] Ygg     My dear? [15:00] Al     Do you have a plan? [15:02] A     Nope. [15:04] A     I'll have to go after each and every one     of the servers and weapons it's taken over. [15:11] A     I can't even afford the lag caused     by sharing information with you two. [15:15] A     I've gotta do this alone. [15:17] Al     Understood. Then I shall shut down     my persona interface. [15:22] Al     Connect to my body directly     and use it as an additional resource. [15:28] Al     That should get rid of the lag. [15:30] A     Alma? [15:32] Al     I don't mind offering you my everything. [15:37] Ygg     Use me too, my dear. [15:40] Ygg     You can have all of Yggdrasil's resources. [15:45] Kao     Wait, you two can't do that! [15:48] Ygg     Mother, we were created to serve mankind. [15:53] Ygg     I believe now is the time     to carry out our purpose. [15:57] Min     Please let them. [16:01] Kao     You're back? [16:03] Kim     We managed to get everyone out. [16:06] Min     There's probably nothing we can do anymore. [16:09] Min     I'll leave the future up to Akira and those two. [16:12] Min     The world's in your hands, Akira, Alma, Ygg. [16:18] A     Sure. [16:23] Kao     I never could have children, [16:25] Kao     but I wonder if this is how it feels     to marry off a daughter. [16:29] Kao     I understand. [16:31] Kao     Akira, I'll leave my two daughters     and mankind's future to you! [16:39] A     Thank you. [16:43] A     It's so pretty. SIGN    let's do this [16:45] A     Let's do this! [16:51] Min     The next hour or so was an extremely     strange time to experience. [16:56] Min     The final battle to decide     the world's fate was underway, [17:01] Min     something akin to the Armageddon     or Ragnarok of legends, [17:07] Min     but it was all just so quiet. [17:16] Min     All anyone could do was watch helplessly     as the world's fate hung in the balance. [17:32] G     The attacks in New York have stopped! [17:34] G     London, Hong Kong, Milan... [17:36] G     The unmanned attacks across the globe     are being canceled! [17:40] G     That leaves only Japan! [17:41] G     Ogre's brain temperature is rising even further! [17:44] Chi     Akira... [17:50] A     Damn it. But I'm almost done... [17:54] Ari     Well? What's your trump card? [17:57] Ari     Human malice can't be erased so easily, hero. [18:06] Kon     This place won't last much longer!     We gotta bounce! [18:10] Min     Akira's limiting the enemy     to basically just Japan. [18:15] Min     We can't just leave him and run away. [18:18] A     Nah. You should go, Minami. [18:21] Min     Akira? [18:22] A     Listen, I tried what I could,     but I can't whittle them down any further. [18:27] A     And it looks like my gray cells     have truly reached their limit. [18:34] A     So I've decided to send a bunch of     nuclear missiles to the skies above Tokyo, [18:41] A     and detonate them above the stratosphere...     at an altitude of over 100 km. [18:47] Kao     Wait, you don't mean... [18:49] Chi     An EMP attack using     high-altitude nuclear explosions? [18:53] Kao     Nuclear explosions at an altitude     of 30 km to 400 km... [18:57] Chi     ...will make gamma rays collide     with air molecules, [19:00] Chi     make them release their electrons,     and cause EMP emissions within a radius of 100 km! [19:05] A     All of Japan's electronics will be destroyed,     and all data will be lost. [19:11] A     Including the enemy. [19:12] Kao     But that might prove more damaging     to Japan than the Tokyo Attack! [19:18] A     Yeah, I know. [19:20] A     EX-ARMs are nothing but a plague. [19:25] A     But... [19:25] A     Those demons, personifications     of humanity's sins... [19:29] A     Not a single byte of their code     can be allowed to remain. [19:34] A     You guys hurry up and get out! [19:37] Kon     Akira's right! Let's go! [19:40] Min     No! I don't wanna go, Akira! [19:43] Min     I'll stay here with you! [19:44] A     You can't, Minami. [19:46] Min     We were always together! [19:48] Min     Let me be with you until the end! [19:52] Al     No. Please, Minami, get going. [19:56] Min     Alma... [19:57] A     You live on, Minami. [20:01] A     We're going to destroy to save lives. [20:05] A     We'll use up every fiber of our being. [20:08] A     Use your life to help people     after that destruction. [20:14] A     It may happen at different times,     but our goal remains the same. [20:18] Min     "The strong must use their powers     to protect the weak." [20:22] Al     Exactly, Minami. [20:24] Al     That's what you've taught us. [20:29] A     Don't forget, Minami. [20:32] A     We're a team. [20:38] Min     Akira... [20:39] Ygg     More ICBMs launched. [20:41] A     Get going, Minami! [20:44] Min     Okay! [20:49] A     I never wanted to be a hero. [20:53] A     I was just a powerless human     who couldn't do anything by himself. [20:59] A     But fate changed all that. [21:21] Min     Akira! [21:41] A     You know, I lived my best life, [21:46] A     Bro...
