[01:58] Gen
    Why are you dying without a word?
[02:01] Gen
    At least cough up a complaint
    or two before you go.
[02:09] Gen
    You pieces of junk normally
    never listen to me,
[02:13] Gen
    so why now, of all times,
[02:15] Gen
    do you look like fine machinery
[02:19] Gen
    as you silently break down?
[02:24] Gen
    "Machines exist to serve people"?
[02:28] Gen
    You're certainly right.
[02:31] Gen
    But if you guys didn't want to,
[02:35] Gen
    I wouldn't have minded one bit.
[02:42] Gen
    Even if you didn't serve any purpose,
    even if you were useless pieces of junk...
[02:48] Gen
    As long you guys, my friends, were beside me,
[02:54] Gen
    I was fully prepared to die with you!
[03:01] Gen
    And yet...
[03:04] Gen
    I'm sorry.
[03:09] Gen
    I'm so sorry.
[03:12] Gen
    I'm so, so sorry!
[03:17] Kin
    That man poured his heart and soul,
    his whole life, into machines,
[03:23] Kin
    and now he has to throw them
    all away to stop the war?
[03:26] Kin
    He's been forced to make a choice
    far more painful than death.
[03:31] Kin
    But we still can't turn tail.
[03:36] Kin
    Because we're machines
    built by Hiraga Gengai!
[03:44] Kin
    Have you said your goodbyes,
[03:48] Kin
    Tama-san?
[03:55] Tama
    No. There's no need for that.
[04:01] Tama
    Whatever may be destroyed or stolen,
[04:06] Tama
    they will surely take it all back.
[04:09] Tama
    We will meet again one day, for sure.
[04:14] Tama
    So I will not say goodbye to anyone.
[04:22] Kin
    That so?
[04:25] Kin
    Think it's possible?
[04:27] Kin
    Can they do it?
[04:31] Tama
    Of course. I'm sure they can.
[04:35] Tama
    After all, they're the people who
    took the dullest piece of gold
[04:39] Tama
    and polished it enough for
    it to save half the world.
[04:46] Kin
    They spared my life once, anyway.
[04:52] Kin
    So I'll leave it in their hands...
[04:55] Kin
    This life!
[04:57] Tama
    And the world!
[04:59] Bo
    Listen up, humanity!
[05:04] Bo
    We leave the rest to you!
[05:58] Tama
    I don't need to say goodbye.
[06:02] Tama
    If there's one thing I can say, it's this:
[06:09] Tama
    Before, I never hesitated to
    perform my duties as a machine.
[06:16] Tama
    I was just another screw.
[06:21] Tama
    But to those who filled me
    with so much pointless data,
[06:31] Tama
    to those who
[06:34] Tama
    turned me into this oil-drenched screw...
[06:40] Tama
    Thank you for being my friends.
[06:47] Gin
    Tama!
[07:00] Shin
    On that day, the machines chose to
    quit being functioning machinery
[07:07] Shin
    and became completely
    useless friends of ours.

[07:20] G
    We've totally lost contact with Earth!
[07:23] G
    No word on the well-being
    of the squads in action!
[07:24] G
    Even the battleships on standby in
    the main formation are being affected!
[07:31] En
    What is going on?
[07:34] Sak
    Too bad.
[07:37] Sak
    They wanted you ta have the best seats
    to see the fireworks, Shogun-sama,
[07:41] Sak
    but it seems they were all wet and soggy.
[07:44] Sak
    We're tired of standin' around.
[07:46] Sak
    Could you send us back ta
    where our friends are?
[07:52] En
    Wait.
[07:53] Nb
    No need. I can tell what happened
    without having to see it.
[07:57] Nb
    I believe I told you
[08:00] Nb
    that we will not lose!
[08:05] G
    Whoa. They sank all of the
    Liberation Army's battleships!
[08:11] Tae
    Tama-san...
[08:13] Cat
    Otose-san, you don't think they...
[08:19] Oto
    They'll come back, no matter what.
[08:25] Gen
    You got into a huge fight with
    machines from all over the universe.
[08:30] Gen
    Get a little rest for now.
[08:34] Gen
    But know that I'll repair you and
    work you to the bone again...
[08:39] Gen
    No matter what.
[08:43] Gen
    It's a promise.
[08:45] Gen
    So let us...
[08:49] Oto
    Let humanity take care of the rest.
[08:54] Oto
    This place is your home...
[09:00] Bo
    And we swear to protect it!
[09:07] Kon
    Even firearms have been neutralized
    because of their inner machinery.
[09:11] Kon
    That old man and his robots did it.
[09:14] Kon
    They really saved half the world!
[09:18] Zen
    Man, this sucks.
[09:20] Zen
    I'd finally prepared myself
    for the worst here.
[09:23] Zen
    Don't be getting my hopes up again.
[09:26] Zen
    Technology and weapons?
[09:28] Zen
    Are those the only areas
    we were overwhelmed in?
[09:34] Zen
    Did you forget about numbers?
[09:39] Dak
    The battle is only getting started.
[09:41] Dak
    Damn earthlings had a pretty
    amusing trick up their sleeve.
[09:45] Dak
    But we still have weapons right here...
[09:49] Dak
    We Dakini, feared as tanks of destruction.
[09:54] G
    Sotatsu-sama...
[09:56] Sot
    We'll have him carry the load.
[09:59] Sot
    I have no interest in
    revenge, freedom, or glory.
[10:03] Sot
    But we will take all the spoils.
[10:07] Kag
    Are those guys going to head
    toward the Kabuki District?
[10:11] Shin
    If such a huge army marches in there...
[10:14] Gin
    They knew that all along.
[10:18] Hij
    The geezer and the others used the Kabuki
    District as bait knowing this would happen.
[10:23] Zen
    The most important thing in war
    is predicting the enemy's moves.
[10:28] Kon
    Right now, it's obvious where they
    will go and what they're after.
[10:35] Kon
    Right now, we might be
    able to cause a miracle.
[10:38] Kon
    Edo's biggest hoodlum district
    has given Edo one last hope.
[10:47] Oto
    Close the gates!

[11:00] Tae
    All right.
[11:01] Tae
    This is mankind's final stronghold.
[11:05] Tae
    Until our friends across Edo come here,
[11:07] Tae
    we must hold out no matter what.
[11:13] Cat
    We don't have any means of communication.
[11:16] Cat
    Will anyone really come for us?
[11:18] Tae
    They will.
[11:20] Tae
    We don't need to communicate.
    They already know.
[11:32] Dak
    Charge!
[11:39] Tae
    They know how much
[11:42] Tae
    we all love this town.
[11:57] Dak
    Charge!
[12:06] Zen
    The enemy's target is the cannon.
[12:09] Zen
    They think destroying it will fix
[12:12] Zen
    their broken machines and
    reestablish contact with their rear.
[12:16] Zen
    They have huge numbers,
    but that's also their weakness.
[12:20] Zen
    If we poke at them from multiple
    sides and make then panic,
[12:22] Zen
    they'll soon lose their footing
    and go out of control.
[12:26] Zen
    That said, be careful.
[12:27] Zen
    Don't go in too deep. Keep your distance.
[12:31] Sac
    We know.
[12:32] Sac
    Kabuki District's residents risked
    it all to give us this ray of hope.
[12:36] Sac
    We won't let it be in vain!
[12:40] G
    Vice Chief!
[12:40] G
    We're ready!
[12:43] Hij
    Think we can do this?
[12:44] G
    If we set up that many, it should work.
[12:47] Hij
    Listen up.
[12:48] Hij
    Consider this battle lost if
    they reach the Kabuki District.
[12:52] Hij
    We'll strike at the center of their
    long formation and split them up.
[12:55] Kon
    After that, how many do
    we each have to cut down?
[12:59] Hij
    Let's see...
[13:01] Hij
    If you cut down two hundred
    each, I'll give you a bonus.
[13:04] G
    Two hundred?
[13:05] Oki
    Then if I cut down a thousand,
    the position of vice chief is mine?
[13:12] Hij
    I'll consider it.
[13:13] G
    Wow, the vice chief finally
    gave his blessing!
[13:15] G
    If Captain Okita becomes vice chief,
    the world will end anyway.
[13:20] Ymz
    You can say that again.
[13:22] Ymz
    But if it's going to end either way,
    that way sounds like it'd be more fun.
[13:26] Kon
    Yeah, I feel the same way.
[13:30] Kon
    At this point, whether the world ends or not,
[13:33] Kon
    it's not the Shinsengumi if
    we're not protecting Edo.
[13:36] Kon
    And whether the world ends or not,
[13:38] Kon
    it's not Odd Jobs if they're not
    raising hell in the Kabuki District.
[13:42] Kon
    Your resting place will find its own
    way to you at the end of your life.
[13:48] Kon
    Go live your life,
[13:51] Kon
    Odd Jobs.
[14:06] Kon
    Let's go!
[14:22] Mut
    How'd Earth look?
[14:24] Sak
    They're doin' well ta hold out.
    You could call it a miracle.
[14:29] Sak
    But given the difference in
    numbers, that won't last long.
[14:32] Sak
    Unless we stop this war while
    they're still hangin' in there,
[14:37] Sak
    there won't be any more miracles.
[14:40] Shi
    Do you have any ideas?
[14:43] Shi
    Actually, even if you did, it's too late now.
[14:48] Shi
    I've done a horrible thing to you earthlings.
[14:51] Shi
    Even though I agreed to
    a ceasefire with you,
[14:54] Shi
    I couldn't stop that man.
[14:59] Nb
    Admiral Shijaku? You're imprisoned, too?
[15:03] Shi
    The Liberation Army's flame of revenge
    has grown too large to stamp out.
[15:08] Shi
    It won't stop until it burns
    everything in its path.
[15:10] Sak
    If we can't stamp it out,
    we just gotta direct it elsewhere.
[15:14] Sak
    There's someone else we both must fight.
[15:19] Shi
    If you mean the Tendoshu, they're already...
[15:21] Sak
    Nah, there's still one.
[15:23] Sak
    And if we keep fightin' like this,
    not only will you not get your revenge,
[15:28] Sak
    you'll be helpin' him reach
    his goal of destroyin' Earth.
[15:32] Shi
    What do you people know?
[15:36] Sak
    Let's see...
[15:38] Sak
    We know that you're the only trustworthy
    man in the Liberation Army, at least.
[15:45] Sak
    Shijaku, if you truly care
    about the Liberation Army,
[15:49] Sak
    if you truly wish to give the
    universe its freedom back,
[15:52] Sak
    then help us.
[15:54] Sak
    It's not too late.
[15:58] Shi
    That's not the kind of
    line you say in a prison.
[16:01] Shi
    You people are now completely isolated
    from the rest of the universe—
[16:06] Sak
    You realized, huh?
[16:08] Sak
    We were prepared for everythin'
    once we were summoned here.
[16:13] Sak
    And we've already laid the groundwork.
[16:19] Shi
    Another squad?
[16:21] Shi
    You predicted that things could go south
    and split your squad into two beforehand?
[16:25] Sak
    A stealth ship, our Kaientai's pride and joy!
[16:29] Sak
    It must be approachin' this HQ by now.
[16:32] Sak
    Once I give the word,
    they'll come chargin' aboard.
[16:35] Sak
    It's time ta make our comeback, Zura.
[16:37] Kat
    I'm not Zura. I'm Inmate Number 3692.
[16:41] Sak
    Oh, sorry. Wrong number.
[16:44] Mut
    What happened?
[16:45] Sak
    Radioed the wrong person.
[16:47] Sak
    That wasn't Zura. It was 3692.
[16:50] Kat
    I'm not 3692. I'm Katsura.
[16:54] Sak
    Wait, you're imprisoned, too?
[16:56] Sak
    Wait a second! Where the hell are you?
[17:00] Sak
    Didn't I tell you to take care of
    things if anything happened ta us?
[17:03] Kat
    Relax. We're another squad.
[17:05] Kat
    We were caught for a reason
    totally unrelated to yours.
[17:08] Sak
    That's how you differentiate yourselves?
[17:09] Kat
    The thing is, after we split up from you,
[17:11] Kat
    something unexpected happened
    while we were standing by.
[17:14] (Flashback) Kat
    Men, prepare to charge in at any time.
[17:18] (Flashback) G
    Whoa!
[17:19] (Flashback) G
    What's the matter?
[17:20] (Flashback) G
    Well, an enemy ship just
    passed right in front of us.
[17:24] (Flashback) Kat
    Fret not. They cannot see us.
[17:28] (Flashback) Kat
    This is a stealth ship, after all.
[17:29] (Flashback) G
    A-Are you sure they can't see us?
[17:32] (Flashback) G
    I feel like they've been
    circling us for a while.
[17:34] (Flashback) Kat
    You're overthinking it.
[17:36] (Flashback) G
    But Katsura-san, have you ever actually
    seen a stealth ship's exterior?
[17:40] (Flashback) G
    What do we look like from the outside?
[17:43] (Flashback) G
    And what is "stealth," anyway?
[17:45] (Flashback) Kat
    Stealth, well...
[17:49] (Flashback) Kat
    It must be see-through, or something.
[17:52] (Flashback) Kat
    Wait!
[17:53] (Flashback) Kat
    Even if the ship is see-through, we aren't!
[17:56] (Flashback) Kat
    Which means...
[17:59] (Flashback) Kat
    We're totally visible!
SIGN    You're wrong, Katsura-san. This ship and all of us on it can't be seen from the outside.
[18:04] (Flashback) Kat
    O-Oh, okay. So everything is
    see-through, including us?
[18:08] (Flashback) Kat
    Wait!
[18:09] (Flashback) Kat
    Even if we are see-through,
    what we take in from the outside
[18:12] (Flashback) Kat
    and all of its residue...
[18:16] (Flashback) Kat
    It's totally visible!
SIGN    You're wrong, Katsura-san. Stealth here refers to technology that conceals an object using camouflage which adapts to the surrounding scenery.
[18:22] (Flashback) Kat
    Oh, is that how it is? I see.
[18:24] (Flashback) Kat
    So even if our insides are visible,
[18:27] (Flashback) Kat
    this technology will make the ship
    adapt to that and hide us all.
[18:30] (Flashback) Kat
    It's totally visible after all!
[18:34] (Flashback) Kat
    Damn you, Sakamoto!
[18:35] (Flashback) Kat
    How dare you make us ride
    this piece of junk?!
SIGN    Forget it.
[18:38] (Flashback) Kat
    Men, hurry up and camouflage yourselves!
[18:41] (Flashback) Kat
    Turn off the lights!
[18:42] (Flashback) Kat
    Hide your presence!
[18:43] (Flashback) Kat
    Become one with space!
[18:45] (Flashback) Kat
    You are nothing! Blend in with
    the space all around you!
[18:48] (Flashback) Kat
    You are a part of space, and space itself!
[18:54] (Flashback) G
    Uh, Katsura-san?
[18:56] (Flashback) G
    We can't see anything.
[19:02] Kat
    So yeah, we rammed into some ship
    thanks to your piece of junk.
[19:07] Sak
    You mean thanks to the junk you call a brain!
[19:09] Kat
    Before we knew it, we'd been surrounded
    and captured by some strange group.
[19:14] Sak
    Not the Liberation Army?
[19:16] Kat
    Yeah, not them.
[19:17] Kat
    They're a weird bunch with something
    indecent-looking growing from their foreheads.
[19:22] Kat
    You know what they said to us?
[19:24] Kat
    "We didn't capture you.
    We took you into our care."
[19:30] Kat
    This ship exists to safeguard the
    species of Earth from its demise...

    Thank you.

    We took advantage of the chaos of war and
    went around cattle mutilating everything.
[19:45] Jii
    That planet is doomed to destruction.
    Anyone who would complain is going to die, too.

    Is that true?!
[20:19] Jii
    It can't protect its loved
    ones or die with them.
[20:23] Jii
    It's a creature that goes through
    life simply withering away.
[20:26] Hata
    I see. Such a pitiful creature.
[20:30] Hata
    But don't worry. I won't let you die.
[20:33] Hata
    Even if you suffer so much you want to die,
[20:36] Hata
    I won't let you die.
[20:37] Hata
    You're my dear pet.

    Anyway, I heard you captured a new species?

    Like a type of billed duck?
[20:54] Hata
    Hey, are you cleaning the cage?
[20:57] Hata
    All I can see is dung!
    The thing's nowhere to be found!
[20:59] Jii
    Ah, the old zoo cliché.
[21:01] Jii
    A cage where you can't see
    the animal, wait as you may,
[21:03] Jii
    and can only see its poop all over.
[21:05] Hata
    Look, forget about the cliché.
    Where's the Joi Rebill?
[21:08] Jii
    That's a zoo cliché, too.
[21:09] Jii
    You think it's poop, but it was
    actually a coiled-up Joi Rebill.
[21:12] Hata
    That's a Joi Rebill? Joi Rebills coil up?!
[21:19] Jii
    P-Prince!
[21:21] Kat
    You'd best be careful.
[21:22] Kat
    Joi Rebills adapt to their surroundings
    and hide their presence.
[21:27] Kat
    Do you know what that's called?
[21:31] Kat
    Stealth.
[21:32] G
    Unhand the prince!
[21:34] Kat
    An ark to safeguard the species?
[21:37] Kat
    Don't be such cheapskates.
[21:41] Kat
    Why not build an ark big enough
    to save the entire planet?
[21:49] Hata
    No, wait... Don't...
