[00:17] ---
    The phrase "doesn't mince words"
[00:20] ---
    certainly describes
    that zombie-like person!
[00:23] ---
    Her name is Roxanne.
[00:25] ---
    Anyway, I am glad
    that nothing happened!
[00:30] ---
    But...
[00:33] ---
    There's no guarantee
    nothing will happen later on.
[00:36] ---
    Oh!
[00:37] ---
    Here it is!
[00:39] ---
    I found my room!
[00:41] ---
    Uh-huh. Now, where is our room...
[00:45] ---
    Ah.
[00:49] ---
    "Our room?!"
[00:52] ---
    They share the same room?!
[00:54] ---
    Such impure sexual relations
    are unforgivable!
[00:57] ---
    Why am I stuck with my own room?!
[01:00] ---
    There is a limit to how far jokes can go!
[01:03] ---
    D-Don't blame me.
[01:05] ---
    Rooms are assigned to partners
    with shared combat experience.
[01:08] ---
    Partners?
[01:10] ---
    You have not even had a baptism yet!
[01:13] ---
    S-Still, the fact we're
    roommates like this
[01:16] ---
    means the higher-ups recognize
    the bond Kazuya and I share.
[01:21] ---
    What bond?!
[01:22] ---
    This is offensive, letting a boy and
    a girl sleep together in the same room...
[01:27] ---
    There is no telling what they might do!
[01:30] ---
    Again, the higher-ups decided this!
    I don't see what the big deal is!
[01:33] ---
    Then switch with me right now!
[01:36] ---
    D-Don't be stupid!
[01:38] ---
    I will be stupid!
[01:45] ---
    AVENGE WORLD!!
[02:01] ---
    To protect someone is
    to know hate for someone

[02:11] ---
    An unknown pulse
[02:12] ---
    Swallow it and it becomes
    mere hope, it falls apart with a sound

[02:18] ---
    The savage pain inside me
[02:26] ---
    is a fighting tragedy
[02:28] ---
    I never wished for this power; the stars
    to wish upon have already fallen

[02:37] ---
    This sad fate screams out loud
[02:40] ---
    Tear me apart, my loved ones
[02:45] ---
    Now, grab hold of your dream
[02:48] ---
    However much you scream about your sad fate
[02:50] ---
    light and prayers will change to betrayal
[02:56] ---
    It's time to be brought to justice
[02:58] ---
    Ah! Where did that smile go?
[03:02] ---
    The answer is nowhere
    to be seen this daybreak

[03:16] ---
    You'd hardly think we're in Alaska, huh?
[03:21] ---
    I hear the E-Pandora Laboratory
    was originally a civilian agency
[03:25] ---
    and that it only recently came
    under Chevalier's management.
[03:28] ---
    It's actually kind of nice
    how it's not so military-like!
[03:33] ---
    Really?
[03:35] ---
    As a gathering spot for elite Pandora
[03:38] ---
    from Genetics facilities around the world,
[03:40] ---
    it seems excessively laid-back to me.
[03:43] ---
    Oh!
[03:53] ---
    Satellizer?
[03:57] ---
    A carnival tomorrow?
[03:59] ---
    Yes, they're holding mock battles
    to measure and compare the data
[04:04] ---
    between us Original Pandora
    and the Evolution Pandora.
[04:08] ---
    Evolution Pandora?
[04:10] ---
    It's the official name of the E-Pandora.
[04:15] ---
    Ordinary people,
    actually becoming Pandora...
[04:17] ---
    Why do you have that look on your face?
[04:20] ---
    Even Elizabeth said this
    will solve the Pandora shortage.
[04:26] ---
    And if our cooperation will
    help create more-evolved Pandora,
[04:31] ---
    then I will gladly assist!
[04:35] ---
    That's a nice, positive
    attitude you have there.
[04:38] ---
    You are just too negative.
[04:40] ---
    That is why you
    still cannot have a baptism.
[04:45] ---
    You still haven't had a baptism?
[04:47] ---
    No...
[04:48] ---
    Isn't Kazuya Aoi
    your Limiter, though?
[04:53] ---
    Well, he is, but we still haven't...
[04:56] ---
    You cannot do the baptism
[04:58] ---
    because you are too afraid
    of doing "this" and "that" with him!
[05:02] ---
    I-I-I wouldn't...
[05:06] ---
    I-I wouldn't test my
    patience, if I were you...!
[05:10] ---
    Don't make me send
    you home covered in bruises!
[05:12] ---
    Shall we see if you can right now,
    Miss No-Baptism Gorilla Woman?
[05:17] ---
    Save your big talk for after your baptism!
[05:35] ---
    Artificial or not, a Pandora is a Pandora.
[05:41] ---
    I certainly can't say I approve of
    the idea of rejecting Pandora volunteers
[05:46] ---
    simply on the basis that
    they're the product of artificial means.
[05:49] ---
    Do you really believe so?
[05:50] ---
    I heard they got it
    almost ready for practical use
[05:53] ---
    before Chevalier ever approved it.
[05:57] ---
    Which makes it obvious
    they did human experiments.
[06:06] ---
    We will now hold mock battles
    between Original and Evolution Pandora
[06:11] ---
    in an exhibition carnival.
[06:17] ---
    The first match pits Anna Parker
    of Genetics Britain (UK)...
[06:22] ---
    ...against Evolution Pandora Rattle!
[06:39] ---
    Battle start!
[06:40] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy.
[06:47] ---
    What about her weapons?
[07:06] ---
    Acceleration?!
[07:07] ---
    Oh? She can use high-end skills, huh?
[07:11] ---
    But...
[07:12] ---
    She'll hafta do better than that.
[07:26] ---
    2nd Match!
[07:28] ---
    Jung Ara of Genetics Korea (KR)...
[07:33] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy!
[07:36] ---
    ...versus Evolution Pandora Jina Purpleton!
[07:43] ---
    Their Volt Weapons...
[07:45] ---
    It seems they can't produce any.
[07:47] ---
    Battle start!
[07:51] ---
    I can use Acceleration too!
[08:06] ---
    Match over!
[08:10] ---
    I'm sorry. It looks like
    I went a little overboard.
[08:20] ---
    I think this may have
    been premature after all...
[08:23] ---
    We had no choice.
[08:26] ---
    The higher-ups insisted on seeing it.
[08:29] ---
    Secretary. Please tell me this
    isn't the extent of the E-Pandoras' skill.
[08:34] ---
    This makes our railroading
    of the project pointless.
[08:38] ---
    All that matters is that they
    perform to their utmost ability for us.
[08:48] ---
    The Originals don't mess around...
[08:59] ---
    We're counting on you, Amelia!
    We need at least one win!
[09:03] ---
    You're our last hope!
[09:08] ---
    I'll do my utmost.
[09:12] ---
    3rd Match!
[09:13] ---
    Evolution Pandora Amelia Evans...
[09:17] ---
    ...versus Elizabeth Mably
    of Japan's West Genetics!
[09:35] ---
    Yahoo! Elizabeth! You can do it!
[09:41] ---
    --I am rooting for you!
[09:42] ---
    --This isn't a game, you know.
[09:44] ---
    You say that...
[09:46] ---
    ...yet you do view this as a game.
[09:49] ---
    You're not taking it seriously at all.
[09:52] ---
    I'm sorry if I gave you that impression.
[09:54] ---
    No need to apologize.
[09:57] ---
    Because taking away that
    self-assurance of yours will fix that.
[10:08] ---
    Then let me ask you this.
[10:10] ---
    How strong are you
    compared to the previous two?
[10:15] ---
    Why do you ask? You'll find
    out in battle soon enough.
[10:18] ---
    You misunderstand; I want to
    know how much I should hold back.
[10:24] ---
    If you want to know that badly, then, hmm...
[10:26] ---
    Three times as powerful, I'd say.
[10:28] ---
    That number isn't an
    overestimation, I hope?
[10:52] ---
    Battle start!
[11:01] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy!
[11:07] ---
    You're able to produce a Volt Weapon...
[11:10] ---
    You're indeed different from the other two.
[11:13] ---
    Why haven't *you
    *produced a weapon, though?
[11:16] ---
    I've deemed it unnecessary.
[11:20] ---
    You're only three
    times stronger, right?
[11:22] ---
    Yes, you girls are naturally
    compatible with Stigmata.
[11:28] ---
    But, even so...
[11:30] ---
    We refuse to let
    you belittle all the hard work...
[11:34] ---
    ...that we've done!
[11:46] ---
    That attack was easily avoidable.
[11:50] ---
    But I took the liberty
    of catching it instead.
[11:52] ---
    I have no intention of
    belittling you whatsoever.
[11:55] ---
    However...
[11:56] ---
    This mock battle is meant to
    determine our difference in strength.
[12:02] ---
    I feel it is my obligation to provide
    data that is as accurate as possible.
[12:07] ---
    Let go!
[12:13] ---
    Acceleration?
[12:14] ---
    Her techniques
    have a sharpness to them.
[12:17] ---
    She's on a different
    level than the previous girls.
[12:19] ---
    Go, Amelia!
[12:20] ---
    Get her!
[12:26] ---
    Double Acceleration?!
[12:28] ---
    It's not that surprising.
    It's got lagged intervals.
[12:31] ---
    Still, it's a surprise, given that she
    isn't naturally Stigmata-compatible.
[12:39] ---
    So close!
[12:40] ---
    You don't sincerely
    think you can outdo me
[12:42] ---
    with a mere Double Acceleration, do you?
[13:10] ---
    Let's call it quits now.
[13:12] ---
    You're in no condition
    for any more Accelerations.
[13:15] ---
    Your body is beginning to
    exhibit warning signs.
[13:19] ---
    I... can still fight...
[13:23] ---
    I request that this match be called off.
[13:25] ---
    You can surely tell that
    any more of this mock battle
[13:28] ---
    will have grave consequ--
[13:29] ---
    Please continue.
[13:31] ---
    I still don't have sufficient data.
[13:34] ---
    The fight will continue
    until she is incapacitated.
[13:39] ---
    Do you consent to this?
[13:41] ---
    Thank you... for your concern...
[13:45] ---
    You're a kind person.
[13:48] ---
    But...
[13:50] ---
    Do you have any idea how much
    torment that kindness is causing me?
[13:59] ---
    She's willing to push
    herself that far for this match?
[14:05] ---
    Very well.
[14:06] ---
    If you insist, then let
    us fight until the very end.
[14:18] ---
    She used a Tempest too!
[14:19] ---
    So she has more
    than just Acceleration...
[14:25] ---
    I'm not done yet!
    I won't go down!
[14:28] ---
    If this continues any further,
    the results will be irreparable.
[14:35] ---
    I'll knock her unconscious and...
[14:54] ---
    N-Not yet...
[14:57] ---
    It's... not...
[15:01] ---
    ...over... yet...
[15:04] ---
    I'm certain I gave her a concussion...
[15:07] ---
    Why?
[15:08] ---
    S-Stop this, Amelia!
[15:10] ---
    Please stop the match! Hurry!
[15:13] ---
    What's driving you?
    Is it your pride as an E-Pandora?
[15:20] ---
    In that case, it is your mind
    I will need to break, not your body.
[15:27] ---
    Battle end!
[15:30] ---
    What's going on? Why now?
[15:33] ---
    I said it would continue until
    your opponent was incapacitated.
[15:42] ---
    She's standing... while unconscious!
[15:44] ---
    Amelia!
[15:45] ---
    Amelia!
[15:47] ---
    Say something!
[15:49] ---
    Amelia!
[15:50] ---
    She's got determination, all right.
[15:52] ---
    And this is just a mock battle...
[15:55] ---
    Why?
[15:57] ---
    This is just a mock battle.
    Why go so far?
[16:22] ---
    Rattle!
[16:24] ---
    How can you eat at a time like this?!
[16:26] ---
    S-Sorry!
[16:28] ---
    Stop, Jina.
[16:31] ---
    You know Rattle became an E-Pandora
[16:35] ---
    so she would never
    have to starve again.
[16:39] ---
    So let her eat.
[16:41] ---
    It's not fair, Amelia!
[16:44] ---
    It's not just the
    bodies they were born with.
[16:46] ---
    They also acted like they
    grew up without any hardship at all!
[16:51] ---
    Like a bunch of spoiled rich girls!
[16:55] ---
    How?
[16:57] ---
    How can we be so different?
    We're all human!
[17:07] ---
    Let's stop feeling wronged
    by our differences at birth.
[17:11] ---
    That will only lead to hate
    for our parents who made us
[17:14] ---
    and hate for this world that raised us.
[17:18] ---
    Rattle joined to escape starvation.
[17:22] ---
    And this organization took you in
[17:24] ---
    after your parents sold you and
    you went from one place to the next.
[17:28] ---
    And...
[17:31] ---
    As for me...
[17:34] ---
    But coming here brought us together.
[17:37] ---
    We've gained something:
    irreplaceable friends who share the same pain.
[17:43] ---
    We've gained sisters-in-arms
    we can understand and relate to!
[17:48] ---
    We're E-Pandora. Let's hold our heads high.
[17:51] ---
    As warriors who fight for humankind.
[17:54] ---
    Mm!
[17:55] ---
    Let's gracefully admit our defeat this time
[17:59] ---
    and make an effort to
    learn from the Original Pandora.
[18:04] ---
    You're on!
[18:06] ---
    This isn't our first time hitting rock-bottom!
    We have nothing to fear!
[18:10] ---
    Y-Yeah! Let's overcome this together!
[18:13] ---
    Let's do our very best!
[18:15] ---
    Let's go!
[18:17] ---
    Here comes Rana Linchen!
[18:27] ---
    This is incredible. I can't believe
    there's a pool like this here.
[18:35] ---
    Yo, Elizabeth!
[18:42] ---
    What's so weird?
[18:44] ---
    At least I'm not naked!
[18:47] ---
    So, how was it actually fighting them?
[18:50] ---
    Think them E-Pandora
    are gonna be useable?
[18:55] ---
    I hope that you aren't that blind.
[18:58] ---
    Huh?
[19:05] ---
    Oh. There's nowhere to sit.
[19:10] ---
    Is this seat taken?
[19:12] ---
    Y-You...!
[19:14] ---
    Please call me Elizabeth.
[19:17] ---
    In any case, may I sit here?
[19:20] ---
    It's not taken, I guess.
[19:22] ---
    Thank you.
[19:36] ---
    Your lips...
[19:38] ---
    Yes?
[19:39] ---
    U-Umm... You have pretty lips.
[19:43] ---
    Your lip gloss...
[19:45] ---
    Who makes it?
[19:48] ---
    It's Mably-exclusive lip gloss.
[19:51] ---
    Mably? As in the company
    that makes the world's best stuff?!
[19:54] ---
    Setting aside whether
    it's the world's best or not,
[19:57] ---
    I'm simply using my
    own company's product.
[19:59] ---
    Your company's?!
[20:01] ---
    You belong to the Mably family?!
[20:03] ---
    Yes.
[20:04] ---
    Whoa... That's more than just
    "growing up without hardship."
[20:08] ---
    I'm nothing compared to you...
[20:10] ---
    Family had nothing to do with your defeat.
[20:15] ---
    My victory against you
[20:18] ---
    was simply because I was
    born with Stigmata compatibility
[20:21] ---
    and have been a Pandora
    for a little longer than you.
[20:25] ---
    The world is always unfair.
[20:27] ---
    There are those who are fortunate
    from the start, and those who aren't.
[20:32] ---
    Does that mean the less fortunate
    must stay defeated for their entire lives?
[20:36] ---
    Surely you don't believe that.
[20:39] ---
    Am I right?
[20:41] ---
    Plus, we need you to grow stronger.
[20:47] ---
    Why?
[20:48] ---
    We've been gathered here
[20:51] ---
    to make you E-Pandora
    stronger using our data.
[20:56] ---
    In other words,
    it's my duty to make you stronger.
[21:01] ---
    That is right!
[21:03] ---
    We shall help make you all stronger!
[21:09] ---
    Th-Thank you...
[21:11] ---
    There's no need to thank me.
[21:13] ---
    This is how any warrior
    fighting for humankind would feel.
[21:18] ---
    Yeah! No one's got as much guts as you do!
[21:22] ---
    She really is a natural-born
    leader, don't you think?
[21:29] ---
    The mood in the air has really improved.
[21:32] ---
    Do we really have to tell them about it?
[21:35] ---
    We have no choice.
[21:38] ---
    After all...
[21:43] ---
    This is war.
[21:45] ---
    Do your utmost now.
[21:47] ---
    But, Secretary Spencer...
[21:49] ---
    I don't care how many
    E-Pandora we burn through.
[21:53] ---
    New test subjects will
    always be easy to come by.
[21:55] ---
    Isn't that right?
[21:58] ---
    Then you should have no qualms
    at all with administering the Mark IV.
[22:08] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[22:11] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[22:14] ---
    The world will embrace our wounds
[22:29] ---
    Don't be hurt all by yourself
[22:35] ---
    Those are the words I always wanted to hear
[22:40] ---
    Show off the futures that are sealed away
[22:45] ---
    Show off their sparkle
[22:51] ---
    Wishful heartbeats will wash
    away the sadness

[22:56] ---
    What I want to share is the
    certain warmth of dreams

[23:01] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[23:04] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[23:06] ---
    While the world embraces our wounds
[23:12] ---
    I will search for meaning, and
    even if I find nothing at all

[23:18] ---
    I'll never give up! I'll go!
[23:23] ---
    Ignite your life...
[23:24] ---
    Now is everything!
[23:37] ---
    It's our duty as Pandora
    to obey orders without question.
[23:42] ---
    You already died once with the Mark III!
[23:44] ---
    Next time: "Mark IV."
