SIGN    A Giant Leap
[00:13] Min
    Akira!
[00:16] A
    You guys.
[00:18] Ygg
    My dear!
[00:21] A
    I'm so glad you're all okay.
[00:23] A
    Alma, what happened with Soma?
[00:28] Al
    I... killed him.
[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!
[02:58] A
    Get down, you guys!
[03:10] A
    You all okay?!
[03:13] Chi
    Do you hear me, Akira?!
[03:15] A
    Chikage?
[03:17] Chi
    I'm glad you're all right.
[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...
