***SIGN*** East China Sea
Shanghai Evacuation Fleet
**[00:10] ---**
It's the Xi!
**[00:33] ---**
Over here! Quick!
**[00:35] ---**
Shit!
**[00:37] ---**
It's the Xi!
**[01:08] ---**
Kei! What are you doing?
We need to get out of here!
**[01:11] ---**
Yeah, this ship isn't going
to last for much longer.
**[01:14] ---**
Let's go, Kei! Don't worry.
**[01:17] ---**
I'll protect you, no matter what happens.
**[01:20] ---**
Right.
**[01:37] ---**
The Air Force is here!
**[01:38] ---**
Get them!
**[01:40] ---**
*That... won't work!*
**[02:19] ---**
Kei!
**[02:23] ---**
It's awakened.
**[02:25] ---**
EGG pattern within acceptable ranges.
**[02:27] ---**
All systems go.
**[02:29] ---**
Hey!
**[02:30] ---**
*What's wrong, you defective girl?*
**[02:33] ---**
I want to fly.
**[03:04] (Flashback) ---**
No! Don't!
**[03:24] ---**
Did that thing shoot down a Xi?
**[04:10] ---**
Wow...
**[04:38] ---**
You're not going to save them?
**[04:39] ---**
Kei?
**[04:40] ---**
The pilot's still inside!
**[04:47] ---**
Kei!
**[04:49] ---**
Kei!
**[05:01] ---**
The Rising Sun?
**[05:04] ---**
Hey, are you inside?
**[05:07] ---**
There's a rescue boat here!
**[05:09] ---**
Get out of there! The plane's going to sink!
**[05:24] ---**
H-Hey...
**[05:33] ---**
I'm not here to hurt you—
**[05:43] ---**
Nova Era...
**[05:46] ---**
What the?!
**[05:47] ---**
Hey, wake up!
***SIGN*** Crimson Wings
**[07:25] ---**
Huh?
**[07:26] ---**
Ow...
**[07:29] ---**
Huh? Where am I?
**[07:32] ---**
That's right.
**[07:34] ---**
This is my grandpa's place in Komatsu.
**[07:41] ---**
It wasn't a dream, was it?
**[07:48] ---**
* A Japanese fighter crashed in*
* Chinese territorial waters.*
**[07:52] ---**
* I went to save the pilot,*
* and it was a young girl.*
**[07:54] ---**
*And she kissed me.*
**[07:56] ---**
*That's impossible.*
**[07:58] ---**
*So I haven't told anybody.*
**[08:00] ---**
Kei, when are you going to get up?
**[08:03] ---**
M-Minghua?
**[08:04] ---**
Don't you know how to knock?
**[08:06] ---**
I've seen you in your
underwear plenty of times.
**[08:09] ---**
There's no point in being embarrassed now.
**[08:12] ---**
It's not like when we were kids!
**[08:15] ---**
What if it were the other way around?
**[08:17] ---**
What if I walked in when you were changing?
**[08:19] ---**
I'd get mad.
**[08:20] ---**
That's not fair!
**[08:22] ---**
Here's the shopping list.
***SIGN*** Carrots Onions Pork Lettuce
**[08:24] ---**
This is for lunch, so go now!
**[08:27] ---**
Hurry up!
**[08:31] ---**
Why are you bossing me around?
This isn't even your house.
**[08:37] ---**
Mommy, buy me some gummies.
**[08:39] ---**
Lessie's all grown up now, huh?
**[08:41] ---**
Yup!
**[08:42] ---**
I can't believe this.
**[08:44] ---**
Is this guy even beatable?
**[08:52] ---**
That's right.
**[08:53] ---**
There are still civilian
planes in the sky here.
***SIGN*** Narutani
**[08:58] ---**
* More and more refugees from the*
* continent are arriving daily.*
***SIGN*** What Do They Want!?

**[09:01] ---**

**[09:03] ---**
Thanks for the food.
**[09:04] ---**
Sure. Just put that there.
**[09:04] ---**

***SIGN*** What Do They Want!?
Mysterious Military Group:
The Xi
**[09:07] ---**
* What are the authorities doing,*
* letting these Xi continue to...*
**[09:13] ---**
They're saying the Xi are
just an "armed group."
**[09:16] ---**
Japan's so peaceful.
**[09:18] ---**
What's wrong with that?
**[09:19] ---**
It beats running for your life every day.
**[09:22] ---**
But...
**[09:23] ---**
I like this city.
**[09:25] ---**
The breeze is so nice and tranquil.
**[09:28] ---**
It's the first time in ages I've
really been able to sleep.
**[09:31] ---**
Sure, but...
**[09:33] ---**
I'm going to keep cleaning.
**[09:35] ---**
You go water the garden.
**[09:37] ---**
Don't you think you're overdoing it?
**[09:39] ---**
Grandpa said you don't
need to do all this, right?
**[09:42] ---**
I'm freeloading here, you know?
**[09:46] ---**
And if I'm not busy, I'm going
to start thinking about things.
**[09:50] ---**
I see.
**[09:51] (Flashback) ---**
Minghua!
**[09:52] ---**
Dad!
**[09:53] (Flashback) ---**
Minghua!
**[09:55] ---**
Your parents will show up on the next
evacuation ship. I'm sure of it.
**[09:59] ---**
Y-Yeah, you're right.
**[10:02] ---**
Yup. They'll get rid of the Xi eventually.
**[10:06] ---**
And once they're gone,
we can go back to China.
**[10:11] ---**
Kei?

**[10:27] ---**
I was sure that red fighter was Japanese.
**[10:35] ---**
I didn't dream it, did I?
**[10:38] ---**
If I could pilot one of those things,
I could take down the Xi.
**[10:41] ---**
I could avenge my mom!
**[10:47] ---**
Kei!
**[10:48] ---**
We need to talk.
**[10:49] ---**
What is it?
***SIGN*** Air Force Academy Handbook
**[10:51] ---**
What's this about joining
the JSDF Air Force Academy?
**[10:54] ---**
It's just what it looks like.
**[10:57] ---**
You can train to be a pilot at an
academy in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
**[11:02] ---**
You don't need to pay for
the dorm or tuition.
**[11:04] ---**
You even get a salary.
**[11:05] ---**
It's a pretty sweet deal, right?
**[11:08] ---**
So what if tuition's free?
**[11:11] ---**
You understand, right?
**[11:13] ---**
If I took advantage of that,
**[11:15] ---**
even somebody like me could become a pilot.
**[11:17] ---**
Idiot.
**[11:18] ---**
Why are you calling me an idiot?
**[11:19] ---**
Because you're an idiot.
**[11:21] ---**
A Self-Defense Force school?
**[11:22] ---**
That means you'd be a soldier, right?
**[11:24] ---**
You're going to fly a
plane and fight the Xi?
**[11:27] ---**
Do you *want* to get killed?
**[11:28] ---**
I'm not going to die!
**[11:29] ---**
You saw it when we escaped
from Shanghai, right?
**[11:31] ---**
That red fighter jet.
**[11:33] ---**
Nobody's ever been able
to shoot down the Xi,
**[11:35] ---**
but it was mowing them
down like it was nothing!
**[11:37] ---**
I'm pretty sure it's a secret JSDF weapon!
**[11:39] ---**
But the "secret weapon" you're
talking about crashed.
**[11:44] ---**
You'll never make it as a pilot.
**[11:47] ---**
You've never even been able
to beat me at arm wrestling.
**[11:50] ---**
That was years ago.
**[11:52] ---**
I won at racing, the long jump,
**[11:54] ---**
and even the vision exam, too.
**[11:56] ---**
This is the fastest way!
**[11:58] ---**
I'm going to be a JSDF pilot
and fly in that jet.
**[12:01] ---**
I said no, and I meant it.
**[12:03] ---**
I'm telling your grandparents.
**[12:05] ---**
I'll tell them that you've got a dumb idea
in your head, and they should stop you.
**[12:12] ---**
Hey! Where are you going, Kei?
**[12:21] ---**
*Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!*

Wh-What...?
**[15:01] ---**
The way you just ran off, and this late...
**[15:03] ---**
I followed you because I
wondered what you were doing.
**[15:05] ---**
What the hell are you doing
going to a JSDF base?
**[15:09] ---**
It's none of your business, Minghua.
**[15:11] ---**
It is!
**[15:12] ---**
Why?
**[15:13] ---**
I'm worried about you!
**[15:15] ---**
If I'm not watching, you do
all kinds of crazy things.
**[15:18] ---**
Listen, can you knock that stuff off?
**[15:21] ---**
What do you mean, "that stuff"?
**[15:24] ---**
Acting like you're my mom.
Telling me what to do all the time!
**[15:28] ---**
I'm not going to be a kid forever!
**[15:30] ---**
Just leave me alone!
**[15:31] ---**
I can't!
**[15:33] ---**
You can't?
**[15:34] ---**
I'm worried because I think you need me!
**[15:38] ---**
It doesn't matter whether we're in
China, Japan, or at the North Pole!
**[15:42] ---**
You're being weird.
**[15:44] ---**
You're the one who's being weird.
**[15:45] ---**
I'm normal.
**[15:47] ---**
Now let's go.
**[15:48] ---**
We can talk when we're back home.
**[15:50] ---**
Knock it off!
**[15:51] ---**
What's gotten into you?
**[15:53] ---**
Even if my parents asked you to
look after me a long time ago,
**[15:56] ---**
you don't have to be so stubborn!
**[15:58] ---**
That was when we were kids!
**[16:00] ---**
That's not why!
**[16:04] ---**
You're the only person in this
country I know right now.
**[16:08] ---**
I was separated from
all my friends and family.
**[16:11] ---**
You're all I have left,
and you want to join the army?
**[16:14] ---**
Am I not allowed to worry?
**[16:17] ---**
Is that just me being a bossy mom?
**[16:22] ---**
Listen, Minghua...
**[16:29] ---**
Hey, what are you—
**[16:49] ---**
Okay. Take off the blindfold.
**[16:54] ---**
Minghua! Minghua!
**[16:55] ---**
Now, I'm going to ask you a simple question.
**[16:59] ---**
Who are you with?
**[17:01] ---**
Who sent you?
**[17:02] ---**
Where's Minghua?
**[17:04] ---**
Where am I?
**[17:05] ---**
Start talking.
**[17:06] ---**
I'm not a patient man.
**[17:08] ---**
If you don't start talking,
I'll shoot you right now.
**[17:12] ---**
Th-This is some kind of mistake!
**[17:14] ---**
We were just going for a walk.
**[17:16] ---**
That's a pretty lame excuse.
**[17:19] ---**
I guess intelligence agencies don't train
their spies to handle interrogations anymore.
**[17:24] ---**
Intelligence agencies?
**[17:26] ---**
Five seconds.
**[17:28] ---**
I'll be pulling the trigger in five seconds.
**[17:30] ---**
I'm not bluffing.
**[17:32] ---**
Four!
**[17:33] ---**
Wait!
**[17:34] ---**
Three!
**[17:35] ---**
You've got it all wrong!
**[17:36] ---**
Two.
**[17:37] ---**
I...
**[17:38] ---**
One!
**[17:46] ---**
I knew you could move, you lazy ass.
**[18:04] ---**
Fine, fine.
**[18:05] ---**
I'll stop playing around.
**[18:08] ---**
Hey, let's get this cleaned up.
**[18:10] ---**
The princess is ticked off.
**[18:20] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[18:24] ---**
Narutani-kun, right?
**[18:27] ---**
Come with me.
**[18:28] ---**
We've got something to talk about.
**[18:30] ---**
Minghua... Is she okay?
**[18:33] ---**
She's fine.
**[18:34] ---**
She's waiting at the guard post.
**[18:38] ---**
She was worried enough about you
to cause some serious damage.
**[18:41] ---**
Is she your girlfriend?
**[18:42] ---**
It's not like that.
**[18:44] ---**
I'll introduce myself.
**[18:46] ---**
I'm with the Ministry of Defense Technical
Research and Development Institute.
**[18:49] ---**
My name's Director Yashirodoori, of the
Special Technology Research Office.
**[18:52] ---**
Ministry of Defense?
**[18:55] ---**
You're with the JSDF?
**[18:56] ---**
A technical officer, but yes.
**[18:58] ---**
I mostly research how to fight the Xi.
**[19:02] ---**
Do you know why the Xi defeat us so easily?
**[19:07] ---**
Because there are more of them,
**[19:09] ---**
and they have better fighters than we do?
**[19:12] ---**
That answer gets you a 30%.
**[19:15] ---**
Their numbers are part of it,
but still, only part of the reason.
**[19:19] ---**
What makes them a threat is
their special abilities.
**[19:22] ---**
HiMAT and EPCM.
**[19:24] ---**
Hima... EP?
**[19:27] ---**
HiMAT. "Highly Maneuverable
Aircraft Technology,"
**[19:30] ---**
which lets them move in ways
manned fighters can't.
**[19:33] ---**
Normally, the most a human fighter
pilot can withstand is 9Gs.
**[19:38] ---**
But the Xi can easily surpass that,
**[19:41] ---**
turning and accelerating at
rates that humans simply can't.
**[19:44] ---**
No normal fighter is a match for them.
**[19:47] ---**
And let's say somebody did get
within range and fired a missile.
**[19:52] ---**
It wouldn't hit. It would go
off course and then explode.
**[19:56] ---**
Even if you switched to
manual and got close,
**[19:58] ---**
the closer you got to them,
the harder they'd be to see.
**[20:03] ---**
This is their other ability: EPCM.
**[20:07] ---**
Electronic Perceptory Countermeasures.
**[20:09] ---**
But we haven't just sat back and let this
unknown super-technology run all over us.
**[20:15] ---**
Adding HiMAT to existing fighter craft...
**[20:17] ---**
Adding Anti-EPCM capabilities...
**[20:20] ---**
Equipping special fighters with an autonomous
piloting device called "Anima,"
**[20:23] ---**
and tuning them to fight the Xi.
**[20:26] ---**
We call these fighters "Daughters."
**[20:28] ---**
This is one of them.
**[20:31] ---**
It's a Swedish fighter called the JAS39.
**[20:34] ---**
The Gripen...
**[20:35] ---**
Correct. It's also the fighter that saved
you during the evacuation of Shanghai.
**[20:42] ---**
We managed to get it in the
air for its first flight,
**[20:46] ---**
but it's incredibly unstable.
**[20:48] ---**
As you know, it had an ugly crash.
**[20:51] ---**
But then what happened?
**[20:53] ---**
Some boy came out of nowhere and
started grabbing on to its canopy,
**[20:57] ---**
and it suddenly restarted.
**[21:00] ---**
And then today, we see that
boy on our security cameras.
**[21:06] ---**
So we put on a little show for it.
**[21:09] ---**
It was enough to make it boot up.
**[21:11] ---**
When it saw you...
**[21:13] ---**
I don't understand.
**[21:15] ---**
Don't look at me. I don't know, either.
**[21:18] ---**
But what I do know is that you
being here stabilizes the Gripen.
**[21:28] ---**
Allow me to introduce you again.
**[21:30] ---**
This is the JAS39 Gripen.
**[21:35] ---**
This is the fighter's autonomous
piloting device, its "Anima."
**[21:39] ---**
I want you to make it so
she can fly properly.
**[21:43] ---**
Will you do it
**[21:45] ---**
for the sake of humanity's future,
Prince Charming?

I heard they were going to interrogate you,
and I got so worried.
**[00:14] ---**
I'm fine. Nothing happened.
**[00:16] ---**
I know it was a misunderstanding,
but I'm still sorry we got rough with you.

No, I'm sorry.

**[03:24] ---**
Hello.
**[03:27] ---**
I came to get you.
**[03:29] ---**
Where's Y-Yashirodoori?
**[03:31] ---**
Not here.
**[03:33] ---**
Out.
**[03:35] ---**
So I'll work with you today.
**[03:37] ---**
Let's go.
**[03:38] ---**
W-Wait!
**[03:48] ---**
You're the one who shot down the Xi
off the coast of Shanghai, right?
**[03:55] ---**
Do you remember me?
**[03:57] ---**
Um... when you crashed...
**[04:04] ---**
No.
**[04:06] ---**
I was so focused on what I was doing then
**[04:09] ---**
that I don't remember when I
crashed or when I was recovered.
**[04:13] ---**
Sorry.
**[04:14] ---**
I s-see.
**[04:16] ---**
I'm told you saved me.
**[04:19] ---**
Thanks.
**[04:23] ---**
Tea and food. I'll go get them.
**[04:25] ---**
Food?
**[04:27] ---**
I haven't eaten breakfast yet.
**[04:28] ---**
The tea is for you.
**[04:31] ---**
A secret weapon that eats?
**[04:34] ---**
I'm back.
**[04:37] ---**
Where's my tea?
**[04:40] ---**
I'm back.
**[04:41] ---**
Don't you need a spoon and some chopsticks?
**[04:45] ---**
I'm back.
**[04:50] ---**
Listen, are you...
**[04:54] ---**
A scatterbrain?
**[04:56] ---**
I am not!
**[04:57] ---**
You are very wrong!
**[04:59] ---**
You don't seem like a weapon at all.
**[05:01] ---**
You keep forgetting stuff,
you talk kind of funny...
**[05:05] ---**
It's kind of like...
**[05:06] ---**
One more word and I'll get mad.
**[05:20] ---**
I'm a little nervous.
**[05:23] ---**
I've never talked to anyone from outside.
**[05:26] ---**
Is that right?
**[05:27] ---**
So I'm just a little nervous.
**[05:34] ---**
Narutani Kei.
**[05:36] ---**
That's my name.
**[05:37] ---**
We haven't introduced ourselves yet, right?
**[05:40] ---**
Kei?
**[05:42] ---**
So your name's Kei...
**[05:45] ---**
What should I call you?
**[05:48] ---**
Gripen.
**[05:49] ---**
That's the name of an aircraft, right?
**[05:52] ---**
JAS39 Gripen.
**[05:54] ---**
That's who I am. Nothing else.
**[05:57] ---**
Just as humans make no distinction between
their brain and the rest of their body,
**[06:01] ---**
an Anima and a Daughter are
identical and inseparable.
**[06:04] ---**
I'm just a weapon.
**[06:07] ---**
So call me Gripen.
**[06:09] ---**
Got it. Gripen, right?
**[06:12] ---**
So, Gripen, what do we do after this?
**[06:16] ---**
What's next on the schedule after breakfast?
**[06:20] ---**
You don't have a plan?
**[06:22] ---**
What do you want to do, Kei?
**[06:24] ---**
I'm not sure how to answer that.
**[06:26] ---**
Um... What is it that you usually do?
**[06:30] ---**
Here at the base.
**[06:32] ---**
Walk.
**[06:34] ---**
I wander around.
**[06:36] ---**
Also, go on adventures here and there.
**[06:38] ---**
You're a free-spirited weapon, huh?
**[06:40] ---**
Also, nap.
**[06:42] ---**
Are you really that plane I saw?
**[06:58] ---**
What's with these people?
**[07:01] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[07:03] ---**
That's H3.
**[07:04] ---**
H3?
**[07:06] ---**
Hangar 3.
**[07:08] ---**
The place you were held when
you were abducted yesterday.
**[07:11] ---**
Next to it is H2.
**[07:13] ---**
Next to that, H1.
**[07:15] ---**
There are also smaller hangars:
H4, H5, and H6.
**[07:18] ---**
This place is pretty big.
**[07:20] ---**
This is the only base near the
Sea of Japan that has any fighter jets.
**[07:25] ---**
If the continental coast falls to the Xi,
**[07:27] ---**
Komatsu will be a front line base.
**[07:30] ---**
Taiwan and the peninsula are still fighting,
so it's peaceful here now.
**[07:34] ---**
But when they fall...
**[07:38] ---**
There's one runway.
**[07:39] ---**
It's alternately referred to
as Runway 06 and Runway 24,
**[07:42] ---**
depending on the direction
of takeoff and landing.
**[07:45] ---**
One runway?
**[07:46] ---**
But don't civilian planes land here?
**[07:49] ---**
They use it as well.
**[07:51] ---**
What if you need to do an emergency takeoff?
**[07:54] ---**
We share.
**[07:57] ---**
What's this?
**[07:59] ---**
An old bunker. It's not used now.
**[08:02] ---**
**[08:06] ---**
I like this place.
**[08:09] ---**
I feel like a princess here.
**[08:11] ---**
I see.
**[08:12] ---**
For an airplane, this is like a
fancy bed with a canopy, huh?
**[08:16] ---**
Yes.
**[08:17] ---**
My secret base.
**[08:19] ---**
But is that okay?
**[08:21] ---**
This is a JSDF base, right?
**[08:23] ---**
If you try to make it into your own room,
**[08:25] ---**
won't they get mad if they find out?
**[08:27] ---**
Haruka said that if you do something bad
and nobody finds out, it's not bad.
**[08:31] ---**
Haruka?
**[08:33] ---**
Yashirodoori Haruka.
**[08:34] ---**
The director.
**[08:36] ---**
Yeah, that sounds like something he'd say.
**[08:39] ---**
Come sit.
**[08:41] ---**
Sure.
**[08:44] ---**
Fui ao jardim da Celeste,
giroflé, giroflá.
**[08:51] ---**
Fui ao jardim da Celeste,
giroflé, flé, flá.
**[08:57] ---**
What language is that?
**[08:59] ---**
I don't know.
**[09:00] ---**
It was in the default training images.
**[09:03] ---**
You were saying something off the
coast of Shanghai too, right?
**[09:06] ---**
Um, Nova Elu... Nove Ere?
**[09:10] ---**
Nova Era.
**[09:11] ---**
Yeah. That's right.
**[09:13] ---**
I don't remember doing that,
but I know what it means.
**[09:15] ---**
"A new era."
**[09:18] ---**
Was that in your training images, too?
**[09:21] ---**
No, it was there from the start.
**[09:24] ---**
The start?
**[09:25] ---**
I don't know where I learned it, but...
**[09:28] ---**
From the start.
**[09:35] ---**
Yes? Roger.
**[09:38] ---**
I'm sorry. It's time for checkups.
**[09:41] ---**
Checkups?
**[09:42] ---**
I need to go back.
**[09:43] ---**
I'll walk you to the gate.
**[09:46] ---**
See you tomorrow.
**[09:51] ---**
*Is she really that plane?*
**[09:56] ---**
Hey, Kei, do you have plans tomorrow?
**[09:59] ---**
Yeah, I've got my job at the base.
**[10:02] ---**
Two days in a row?
**[10:04] ---**
Well, fine.
**[10:06] ---**
I'm going to Kanazawa.
**[10:08] ---**
Kanazawa?
**[10:09] ---**
I passed the review for
my refugee application.
**[10:13] ---**
I was hoping you could come with
me if you were free, but...
**[10:16] ---**
Sorry.
**[10:17] ---**
Your grandparents are leaving
tomorrow morning, too.
**[10:21] ---**
Don't bring any girls home!
**[10:24] ---**
I won't!
**[10:45] ---**
Coming, coming, coming, coming!
**[10:48] ---**
Hello, who's there?
**[10:51] ---**
Gripen?
**[10:53] ---**
Hello, Kei.
**[10:55] ---**
What are you doing here?
***SIGN*** Narutani
**[10:57] ---**
Someone from TRDI brought me here.
**[10:59] ---**
TRDI?
**[11:00] ---**
The Technical Research
and Development Institute.
**[11:02] ---**
So, um... why are you here?
**[11:08] ---**
Haruka told me to do whatever
you told me to do.
**[11:12] ---**
Whatever I told you to do?
**[11:14] ---**
He said to let you have your way with me.
**[11:17] ---**
Don't resist, no matter what you do.
**[11:20] ---**
You're a young man, and some
things are understandable.
**[11:21] Background**
Let's have some fun!
**[11:23] Background**
Oh no!
**[11:26] Women**
Don't resist?
**[11:27] Women**
Kids these days.
**[11:30] ---**
Kei?
**[11:31] ---**
Just get inside!
**[11:41] ---**
Barley tea's fine, right?
**[11:46] ---**
Is that you?
**[11:48] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:51] ---**
This is a photo of me and my mom
when we went flying in China.
**[11:56] ---**
I think I was about ten?
**[11:58] ---**
She let me take over a little.
**[12:01] ---**
You flew?
**[12:03] ---**
Through the sky? Yourself?
**[12:04] ---**
I've got over a hundred hours
of flight time, you know.
**[12:08] ---**
Wow.
**[12:09] ---**
Wow?
**[12:11] ---**
You've flown a lot more than me, right?
**[12:14] ---**
No...
**[12:15] ---**
I can't fly.
**[12:19] ---**
You can't?
**[12:20] ---**
During tests and during combat,
**[12:22] ---**
I always lose control in the middle of
the flight and am sent back to base.
**[12:26] ---**
I'm useless. Defective.
**[12:28] ---**
They don't know why?
**[12:32] ---**
They keep giving me exams
and finding nothing.
**[12:35] ---**
But...
**[12:36] ---**
But?
**[12:37] ---**
It feels to me like I'm missing something.
**[12:41] ---**
Like what?
**[12:42] ---**
I don't know.
**[12:44] ---**
But that's how it feels.
**[12:47] ---**
How do you fly, Kei?
**[12:49] ---**
What can I do to fly right?
**[12:52] ---**
Um...
**[12:53] ---**
Well, let me think.
**[12:54] ---**
When I flew with my mom, she told me that
**[12:57] ---**
planes are built to fly, so if
I was worried about what to do,
**[13:00] ---**
I should just do whatever came to mind.
**[13:03] ---**
Without worrying about it?
**[13:04] ---**
Once you start thinking
about it, you freeze up.
**[13:08] ---**
First, try to fly. Enjoy doing
whatever you want to try.
**[13:11] ---**
Maybe that's what she meant.
**[13:15] ---**
Then if I fly with your mom,
maybe I'll get better.
**[13:19] ---**
If she can fly with me and help me,
like she did with you,
**[13:23] ---**
I can feel safer when I'm in the air.
**[13:25] ---**
Can you ask her?
**[13:28] ---**
No.
**[13:29] ---**
Why?
**[13:31] ---**
My mom's gone.
**[13:33] ---**
She was doing stunts at an airshow when
her plane was shot down by the Xi.
**[13:41] ---**
N-No, it's nothing you need to worry about.
**[13:44] ---**
Though I guess I'd be lying if
I said I was totally over it.
**[13:49] ---**
So, um... I'm counting on you!
**[13:53] ---**
Get better soon and beat those Xi!
**[13:56] ---**
So *we* can fly again.
**[13:59] ---**
So I can avenge my mom!
**[14:01] ---**
Okay. I'll do my best.
**[14:04] ---**
So... what am I doing my best at?
**[14:10] ---**
What is this?
**[14:12] ---**
When you're in trouble,
you ask for divine help, I guess.
***SIGN*** Uhashi Shrine
**[14:16] ---**
Divine help?
**[14:17] ---**
Yeah. You pray you'll be able to fly better.
**[14:20] ---**
I pray I'll be able to fly better.
**[14:23] ---**
You don't need to actually say it.
**[14:27] ---**
What did you pray for?
**[14:30] ---**
That the Xi will be gone soon.
**[14:33] ---**
You don't like the Xi, Kei?
**[14:36] ---**
Of course not.
**[14:37] ---**
You were made to fight them, weren't you?
**[14:41] ---**
Yes, but...
**[14:43] ---**
I've lost so many things because of them.
**[14:47] ---**
If it weren't for them...
**[14:49] ---**
I'll never forgive the Xi.
**[14:55] ---**
I pray that the Xi will be gone soon.
**[15:00] ---**
You've never really left the base, right?
**[15:03] ---**
Yes.
**[15:04] ---**
This is all new to me.
**[15:06] ---**
At times like these,
if you just take it easy,
**[15:10] ---**
everything will sometimes just work out.
**[15:12] ---**
I see.
**[15:13] ---**
That's good to know.
**[15:14] ---**
Oh, right. What do you want for lunch?
**[15:17] ---**
The daily lunch B set!
**[15:19] ---**
It comes with one more
side dish than the A set.
**[15:21] ---**
And a deep-fried dish, too, so it's better.
**[15:23] ---**
Is that the meal at the JSDF cafeteria?
**[15:26] ---**
Yes.
**[15:27] ---**
Sorry, but there is no B set in this city!
**[15:30] ---**
What about the C set?
**[15:32] ---**
No C set, either!
**[15:33] ---**
My dreams are crushed.
**[15:36] ---**
Don't worry.
**[15:38] ---**
I'll give you something even better.
**[15:41] ---**
Here you go!
**[15:52] ---**
Let's eat.
**[15:54] ---**
Okay, let's dig in.
**[15:55] ---**
Okay.
**[16:08] ---**
It's good.
**[16:10] ---**
I'm glad.
**[16:21] ---**
You've got soup on your face.
**[16:25] ---**
What's this?
**[16:26] ---**
Gyoza.
**[16:27] ---**
Dip it in the sauce before you eat it.
**[16:33] ---**
Hot!
**[16:36] ---**
You're not supposed to eat it so fast.
**[16:41] ---**
But it's good!
**[16:56] ---**
You two are close, huh?
**[16:58] ---**
Your sister?
**[16:59] ---**
Yes, I guess.
**[17:01] ---**
Kei is my teacher.
**[17:03] ---**
He teaches me lots of things
about the outside world.
**[17:06] ---**
That's a good brother to have, huh?
**[17:08] ---**
* As the Chinese civil war escalates,*
* what should Japan's response be?*
**[17:14] ---**
* Well, I think it's important*
* to understand just what*
**[17:16] ---**
*it is these militants called the Xi want,*
**[17:18] ---**
* and be prepared to sit*
* down and talk with them.*
**[17:20] ---**
*Sit down and talk with the Xi?*
**[17:22] ---**
*Is all Japanese media like this?*
**[17:25] ---**
The Xi, was it?
**[17:27] ---**
The weekly magazines talk about them
like they're some kind of alien invaders.
**[17:31] ---**
I wonder if they're going to attack Komatsu.
**[17:34] ---**
Don't worry.
**[17:35] ---**
If they do, I'll protect the city.
**[17:41] ---**
Welcome!
**[17:42] ---**
Keep your mouth shut, dummy.
**[17:46] ---**
But it's important.
**[17:48] ---**
I was made to protect humanity.
**[17:52] ---**
Even if I'm unstable during flight,
**[17:54] ---**
I need to fight until the very end
and shoot down the enemy.
**[17:58] ---**
*I see.*
**[17:59] ---**
* She's trying her best to protect humanity,*
* in her own way.*
**[18:04] ---**
Kei...
**[18:06] ---**
I want more gyoza.
**[18:22] (Flashback) ---**
The Gripen is an extremely unstable weapon.
**[18:26] (Flashback) ---**
The slightest thing causes it to lose
function and go out of control.
**[18:30] (Flashback) ---**
My bosses are telling me they
don't want to waste any more money
**[18:33] (Flashback) ---**
on a prototype without obvious potential.
**[18:37] ---**
* But as a scientist, I want to keep*
* struggling until the very end.*
**[18:43] ---**
*Will you help me?*
**[18:46] ---**
*Help her fly again.*
**[18:54] ---**
Here.
**[18:56] ---**
I didn't know what you liked...
**[18:58] ---**
So I just bought something at random.
**[19:01] ---**
If you don't like it, you can have this one.
**[19:03] ---**
No, yogurt drinks are a favorite.
**[19:06] ---**
But I remembered something
slightly unpleasant.
**[19:09] ---**
Unpleasant?
**[19:11] ---**
Someone once told me that my body
wasn't developing properly,
**[19:15] ---**
and I should drink lots of dairy products.
**[19:18] ---**
If I liked sweets,
then I should drink yogurt.
**[19:21] ---**
It would make my breasts bigger.
**[19:24] ---**
It was very rude.
**[19:26] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[19:30] ---**
It's good.
**[19:32] ---**
Oh, I'm glad you like it.
**[19:33] ---**
This may be the first time
I've ever drank yogurt.
**[19:37] ---**
What?
**[19:39] ---**
I thought you said it was a favorite.
**[19:43] ---**
Hey, Gripen!
**[19:45] ---**
What's wrong?
**[19:46] ---**
Are you okay?
**[19:47] ---**
Don't worry.
**[19:48] ---**
She's asleep, that's all.
**[19:50] ---**
Yashirodoori...
**[19:52] ---**
"Yashirodoori-san" to you, Prince Charming.
**[19:54] ---**
I'm older than you, you know.
**[19:57] ---**
What are you doing?
**[19:58] ---**
Don't worry. They work for me.
**[20:05] ---**
What is the point of all this?
**[20:07] ---**
Just leaving the two of us
together with no explanation...
**[20:12] ---**
Three hours.
**[20:14] ---**
That's how often Gripen
is awake, on average.
**[20:16] ---**
That's usually how long it
takes before she passes out...
**[20:20] ---**
Regardless of whether she's
in the middle of the air or not.
**[20:23] ---**
But today...
**[20:25] ---**
That's right. She was up and
about for over ten hours.
**[20:30] ---**
I'm surprised.
**[20:32] ---**
And all she did was go on a
child's idea of a date with you.
**[20:36] ---**
You were watching?
**[20:38] ---**
We have no idea what it
is that wakes her up.
**[20:41] ---**
I'd like to develop a hypothesis and
investigate, but we don't have a lot of time.
**[20:46] ---**
The date of her test
flight has been decided.
**[20:49] ---**
Her test flight?
**[20:50] ---**
Exactly one week from today.
**[20:53] ---**
If she can't fly right then,
**[20:55] ---**
she'll be scrapped this time.
**[20:57] ---**
Scrapped?
**[20:58] ---**
I did everything I could.
**[21:01] ---**
Well, just take it as a sign that
Anima cost a lot more than you think.
**[21:07] ---**
There's no denying the fact
that they're inefficient.
**[21:10] ---**
But the other Anima keep adding to
their flight hours with no problems.
**[21:15] ---**
It makes sense to just scrap a plane with
no future and move on to the next one.
**[21:20] ---**
But...
**[21:22] ---**
If it weren't for her, we'd be dead.
**[21:26] ---**
Then it's time pay her back.
**[21:29] ---**
Stop whining and help us, Prince Charming.
**[21:34] ---**
I've been wondering...
Why do you keep calling me that?
**[21:38] ---**
Because in the fairy tales,
**[21:42] ---**
it's always Prince Charming's
kiss that wakes up the princess.
**[21:46] ---**
Even if it's the princess
who goes in for the kiss first.
**[23:28] ---**
Next time on *Girly Air Force*...

Target altitude reached.
**[00:09] ---**
*Okay. We're switching to scenario 2-A.*
**[00:11] ---**
*Gripen, switch to flight mode "jagt."*
**[00:16] ---**
*You will encounter the enemy in 30 seconds.*
**[00:18] ---**
*EPCM is active.*
**[00:20] ---**
Roger.
**[00:21] ---**
Switching to autonomous
mode due to EPCM effects.
**[00:25] ---**
*Begin the mission!*
**[00:36] ---**
Merge!

**[02:13] ---**
We're only at the simulator stage,
and look at her.
**[02:16] ---**
B-But this is after she's been awake
longer than usual for her.
**[02:21] ---**
Her consciousness level was stable.
**[02:23] ---**
Yeah. Thanks to you,
our Sleeping Beauty has improved a lot.
**[02:29] ---**
But "being awake" and "being able to pilot
a plane" are two very different things.
**[02:34] ---**
We're nowhere near where we need to be.
**[02:36] ---**
Upsetting.
**[02:38] ---**
I don't want you thinking that
this is my true strength.
**[02:42] ---**
Damn right.
**[02:43] ---**
If you perform like that
at the test next week,
**[02:46] ---**
I'll sign the paperwork to scrap
you right then and there.
**[02:49] ---**
But this isn't anything like a Daughter.
**[02:52] ---**
I can't fly right in this thing.
**[02:55] ---**
Wow, this setup is incredible.
**[02:58] ---**
What don't you like?
**[02:59] ---**
The control systems are all wrong.
**[03:01] ---**
It's slow to respond.
**[03:03] ---**
There's no feedback from external stimuli.
**[03:07] ---**
We rushed to get that thing made.
**[03:10] ---**
And that NFI only got
added after it was built.
**[03:14] ---**
NFI?
**[03:17] ---**
That.
**[03:18] ---**
Those things on both sides
of the seat are the NFI.
**[03:21] ---**
The Neural Fusion Interface.
**[03:23] ---**
It links the Daughter's controls
with your sensory organs.
**[03:27] ---**
It expands your neural network out
to the very tip of the airframe.
**[03:31] ---**
So you can fly with just a thought?
**[03:33] ---**
Not quite.
**[03:35] ---**
It's the same way a human moves their limbs.
**[03:38] ---**
If you want to move to the right,
the elevons will activate.
**[03:42] ---**
If you want to decelerate,
the engines will decrease their output.
**[03:45] ---**
Wow, that's amazing.
**[03:48] ---**
Wait, does that mean that if you
had to pilot a plane like normal,
**[03:52] ---**
you'd be really bad at it?
**[03:54] ---**
Your lack of understanding shocks me.
**[03:57] ---**
Your ignorance exceeds my imagination
and inspires me to rage.
**[04:00] ---**
You should try it too, then.
**[04:02] ---**
No, I...
**[04:04] ---**
Go ahead.
**[04:06] ---**
We need to reset all the settings, anyway.
**[04:09] ---**
You've flown a Cessna, right?
**[04:14] ---**
The die has been cast.
**[04:20] ---**
Wow... this skips almost all
of the pre-flight checklist!
**[04:24] ---**
The airframe computer will auto-adjust
its own attitude to a certain degree.
**[04:28] ---**
Pretty handy, right?
**[04:30] ---**
Well, even if you crash, you'll live.
**[04:32] ---**
So don't worry about a thing.
**[04:45] ---**
*You've got good instincts.*
**[04:47] ---**
*I thought you'd have a harder time with it.*
**[04:51] ---**
If this was a real plane,
I'd be too scared to do anything.
**[04:53] ---**
Pretty impressive, though.
**[04:57] ---**
Oh no...
**[05:04] ---**
* Flying in an empty sky*
* is pretty dull, right?*
**[05:08] ---**
Seriously?
**[05:09] ---**
* If that thing gets on your six,*
* you're a dead man.*
**[05:11] ---**
That's not fair!
**[05:23] ---**
Fine! I'll let it get ahead of me
and shoot it down from behind!
**[05:39] ---**
I managed to get it in front of me,
**[05:41] ---**
but it's hard to get the plane
back into the fight quickly.
**[05:44] ---**
Kei.
**[05:45] ---**
I demand an explanation.
**[05:48] ---**
Everyone says that your flying
is more stable than mine.
**[05:51] ---**
Impossible. You must have
been cheating somehow!
**[05:55] ---**
No way.
**[05:56] ---**
Anyway, this thing is really easy to fly.
**[05:58] ---**
It's not defective at all.
**[06:00] ---**
It feels like I could pilot the real thing
if I had a few more tries with this.
**[06:07] ---**
Well?
**[06:10] ---**
That was an amazing experience.
**[06:12] ---**
Can I try it again sometime?
**[06:15] ---**
Sure, depending on how Gripen's looking.
**[06:18] ---**
Her test flight is in seven days, after all.
**[06:21] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[06:23] ---**
Okay, let's both do our best!
**[06:26] ---**
Why are you telling me what to do?
***SIGN*** Sunoken
***SIGN*** No Smoking
**[07:31] ---**
We figured out why Gripen's
been doing better.
**[07:34] ---**
Or more precisely, we figured
out what's going on.
**[07:38] ---**
But...
**[07:40] ---**
Look at this.
**[07:44] ---**
This is Gripen's EGG graph.
**[07:46] ---**
Her brainwave pattern, essentially.
**[07:51] ---**
It's started to get unstable.
**[07:53] ---**
Yes.
**[07:54] ---**
When this unstable state continues,
she loses consciousness.
**[07:59] ---**
But...
**[08:02] ---**
The graph below shows your brain waves.
**[08:03] ---**
When Gripen's EGG graph is
influenced by your brain waves...
**[08:09] ---**
This is...
**[08:10] ---**
The oscillation synchronizes,
and it stabilizes.
**[08:13] ---**
It happens whenever you're
within about ten meters.
**[08:17] ---**
We'll need to get some more
data to find the exact number.
**[08:24] ---**
But it's impossible for someone's
brain waves to synchronize
**[08:27] ---**
with someone else's without
even a millisecond of lag.
**[08:30] ---**
Not unless the patterns were
established in advance.
**[08:35] ---**
Established in advance?
**[08:40] ---**
Let me ask you something.
**[08:42] ---**
You never met her before
you left Shanghai, right?
**[08:47] ---**
No...
**[08:50] ---**
Well, whatever.
**[08:52] ---**
As long as you're near her, she's stable.
**[08:57] ---**
All we need to do now is adjust
the intervals where she's awake.
**[09:00] ---**
We can't have you going up in the air with
her to keep her stable, after all.
**[09:11] ---**
Hey. Sounds like you're doing good.
**[09:13] ---**
Thanks to you.
**[09:15] ---**
When you are near, I feel better.

**[09:18] ---**
I'm not doing anything, though.
**[09:21] ---**
But if you're doing this well, I bet
not only could you pass the test,
**[09:24] ---**
you could do a real fight!
***SIGN*** Today's Menu
**[09:27] ---**
I will do my best to live
up to your expectations.
**[09:31] ---**
When the Xi are gone, I hope
we can fly in China together.
**[09:36] ---**
China?
**[09:37] ---**
I used to live in a town in China called
Changshu 'cause of my dad's job.
**[09:42] ---**
Changshu...
**[09:44] ---**
It's northwest of Shanghai.
**[09:46] ---**
There's lots of factories and labs.
***SIGN*** Hand-To-Mouth Travel Diary
***SIGN*** These are pictures of Changshu, China, where I went last month. The food was great, too!
**[09:49] ---**
There's a lot of old buildings left,
and it's a really laid-back place.
**[09:53] ---**
Maybe it's similar to Komatsu.

Xi attack. A photograph of the city of Changshu, China on June 8th.
The scale of the destruction can be seen.
**[10:02] ---**
*Those bastards.*
**[10:04] ---**
*They destroyed the whole city!*
**[10:08] ---**
*This is awful.*
**[10:10] ---**
*Why did they have to go this far?*
**[10:14] ---**
* They didn't need to destroy every*
* building in the city, did they?*
**[10:17] ---**
* The city of Changshu was wiped*
* from the face of the earth.*
**[10:22] ---**
Kei?
**[10:24] ---**
Kei?
**[10:25] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[10:27] ---**
Are you sick?
**[10:29] ---**
No, I'm fine.
**[10:32] ---**
I have a present for you.
**[10:33] ---**
What is this?
**[10:35] ---**
It would be embarrassing
if you opened it here.
**[10:37] ---**
Open it at home.
**[10:39] ---**
You always do so much for me.
**[10:41] ---**
So it's my way of saying thanks.
**[10:42] ---**
Okay, I'll take it.
**[10:45] ---**
Thanks.
**[10:47] ---**
Okay.
**[10:48] ---**
Let's go, then.
**[10:50] ---**
Okay.
**[10:52] ---**
Thank you for the meal.
**[10:53] ---**
You're welcome!
**[10:54] ---**
Thank you for the meal.
**[10:56] ---**
Sure thing!
**[10:58] ---**
I'm sorry—
**[10:59] ---**
Why aren't you locked up somewhere?
**[11:02] ---**
How come they let you walk freely?
**[11:05] ---**
I...
**[11:05] ---**
Don't talk!
**[11:07] ---**
Stop looking at me with that
face! You're not one of us!
**[11:09] ---**
What are you doing?
**[11:11] ---**
Who are you?
**[11:13] ---**
I'm helping with the work
they're doing on her.
**[11:16] ---**
Oh, so you're just like the TRDI, then.
**[11:20] ---**
Don't even let us see that thing!
**[11:23] ---**
That's right!
**[11:25] ---**
Stop it. You're acting like a little kid.
**[11:28] ---**
She's being sent on dangerous missions
when she's not feeling well!
**[11:34] ---**
Don't say anything else to piss us off!
**[11:37] ---**
There's no reason for you to be so mean.
**[11:40] ---**
Kei, let's go.
**[11:42] ---**
Wait, do you not know?
**[11:45] ---**
Know what?
**[11:46] ---**
Know what she's made of.
**[11:49] ---**

* or something from their planes,*

*But what are they going to do?*
**[13:57] ---**
*Are they going to fly as planned?*

*No point in thinking about it.*

*There's only an hour until her test flight.*

**[14:23] ---**
"Morning"? It's almost noon!
**[14:28] ---**
No work today?
**[14:30] ---**
Nope.
**[14:33] ---**
Then want to go shopping?
**[14:35] ---**
Maybe get your mind off things?
**[14:37] ---**
Sure. Let's go.
**[14:39] ---**
Really?
**[14:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:41] ---**
Want to leave now?
**[14:43] ---**
I can go get changed.
**[14:45] ---**
Okay!
**[14:53] ---**
*Why do I have to feel guilty?*
**[14:56] ---**
*She lied to me.*
**[15:00] ---**
*A muffler? It's June.*
**[15:10] ---**
H-Hey! Kei?
**[15:12] ---**
Are we going shopping?
**[15:13] ---**
Next time!
**[15:16] ---**
Kei, you jerk!
**[15:22] ---**
*Kei, thank you for everything.*
**[15:26] ---**
* Because of you, I'm not*
* scared of flying anymore.*
**[15:31] ---**
*I'll do my best on my test flight.*
**[15:33] ---**
* I told someone at the TRDI*
* that I wanted to thank you,*
**[15:37] ---**
* and they said, "Give him something*
* handmade! Guys always fall for that,"*
**[15:42] ---**
* so I read a lot of books, and then*
* decided to make a muffler for you.*
**[15:46] ---**
*Did you fall for it?*
**[15:48] ---**
*I need to apologize to you.*
**[15:52] ---**
*I've been hiding something big from you.*
**[15:56] ---**
*I'm made from Xi parts.*
**[16:00] ---**
* I'm told they extracted the core from*
* a crashed Xi and grew me in a tube,*
**[16:05] ---**
*using it as part of my spine.*
**[16:08] ---**
* I can't really explain what*
* makes me different than a Xi.*
**[16:13] ---**
* But... I want you to know that*
* I have no memories of being a Xi.*
**[16:19] ---**
*My first memories are of being Gripen,*
**[16:22] ---**
* and telling myself I had*
* to protect humanity.*
**[16:27] ---**
* I fly for humanity,*
* and I fight for humanity.*
**[16:31] ---**
*I thought that was normal.*
**[16:34] ---**
*Because that's why the JAS39 was created.*
**[16:39] ---**
*I was going to tell you this sooner...*
**[16:44] ---**
*But when we went to the shrine,*
**[16:47] ---**
*you said you hated the Xi,*
**[16:49] ---**
*so I didn't.*
**[16:52] ---**
*I didn't want you to hate me.*
**[16:56] ---**
*But I can't keep lying forever.*
**[16:59] ---**
* So I used all my courage*
* to write this letter.*
**[17:03] ---**
* I'm praying you'll come*
* to see me tomorrow.*
**[17:09] ---**
*I hate the Xi.*
**[17:15] ---**
But I don't hate you!
**[17:20] ---**
* Komatsu Tower, Barbie 01*
* is ready for departure.*
**[17:25] ---**
I'm sorry... I...
**[17:30] ---**
Did you read her letter?
**[17:33] ---**
Yes, this morning.
**[17:35] ---**
And you decided to show up 'cause of it, huh?
**[17:39] ---**
You really are easy.
**[17:44] ---**
But... that's how she really feels.
**[17:48] ---**
Those are her words, not the
words of a program or a Xi.
**[17:53] ---**
That, at least, I want you to understand.
**[17:56] ---**
Right...
**[17:58] ---**
Can she fly?
**[18:00] ---**
It's a bit of a brute-force method,
**[18:02] ---**
but we put her to sleep so she'd
be awake when we needed her.
**[18:06] ---**
We can probably at least fool them
for the duration of the test flight.
**[18:10] ---**
*Barbie 01, this is Komatsu Tower.*
**[18:12] ---**
You are cleared for takeoff on Runway 06.
**[18:15] ---**
*Roger.*
**[18:16] ---**
*Barbie 01, cleared for takeoff on Runway 06.*
**[18:18] ---**
Why do you act like she's
so important to you?
**[18:22] ---**
I don't like it when I don't
understand something.
**[18:26] ---**
Why is she the only one that has problems?
**[18:30] ---**
Why does being with you fix them?
**[18:34] ---**
Moving on to the next option
**[18:37] ---**
without trying to figure out why
this one failed is what monkeys do.
**[18:42] ---**
And we ain't monkeys.
**[18:49] ---**
*Barbie 01 has entered the mission area.*
**[18:53] ---**
First, let's try out your guns.
**[18:55] ---**
You'll be in range of the first target soon.
**[18:58] ---**
*Roger. I'll end this in a single strike.*
**[19:01] ---**
It's bugging her.
**[19:03] ---**
I told her to stay calm.
**[19:06] ---**
Barbie 01 is approaching Target 01.
**[19:09] ---**
Three miles to contact.
**[19:11] ---**
Two.
**[19:13] ---**
One.
**[19:16] ---**
*Target kill.*
**[19:17] ---**
Kill copy.
**[19:19] ---**
She did it!
**[19:20] ---**
Okay, now try your AAMs.
**[19:23] ---**
Target 02, 020, 45, alt 25.
**[19:28] ---**
*Roger.*
**[19:29] ---**
*Target 02. Mark 015.*
**[19:32] ---**
*42. Alt 28.*
**[19:36] ---**
Xi on radar!
**[19:37] ---**

**[19:39] ---**
Impossible!
**[19:40] ---**
We're nowhere near the East China Sea!
**[19:42] ---**
Bogey will reach our airspace in ten minutes.
**[19:45] ---**
*I'll go!*
**[19:46] ---**
No!
**[19:47] ---**
That plane's got nothing but
training weapons on it.
**[19:50] ---**
Call Phantom from Misawa!
**[19:52] ---**
*They won't make it in time.*
**[19:54] ---**
*Target 02 priority registration deleted.*
**[19:58] ---**
Barbie 01 has veered off course!
**[20:03] ---**
It's been 45 minutes since she activated.
**[20:06] ---**
Irregularities on the direct link!
**[20:10] ---**
* Static is amplifying...*
* Error counter rising!*
**[20:15] ---**
Gripen!
**[20:17] ---**
EGG pattern is showing instability!
**[20:19] ---**
Send a forced awakening signal!
**[20:22] ---**
*Charge 100! Shoot!*
**[20:25] ---**
It's no good. She's not responding!
**[20:30] ---**
Activate the autopilot!
**[20:31] ---**
Get her the hell out of the combat area!
**[20:33] ---**
Where is Phantom?
**[20:35] ---**
Anima and Daughter are
both under maintenance.
**[20:39] ---**
It'll be one hour, minimum,
before it can take off.
**[20:42] ---**
Then tell the US military
it's an emergency.
**[20:46] ---**
Radar warning!
**[20:47] ---**
Bogey is on Barbie 01's tail!
**[20:52] ---**
*Gripen, wake up!*
**[20:55] ---**
*Gripen!*
**[20:57] ---**
They've locked on!
**[20:59] ---**
Gripen, wake up!
**[21:04] ---**
Gripen!
**[21:08] ---**
Looks like I'll have to help you, then.
**[21:24] ---**
Gotcha!
**[21:25] ---**
Fox 2, go!
**[21:30] ---**
Splash!
**[21:32] ---**
Bogey is down.
**[21:36] ---**
What was that?
**[21:37] ---**
She was waiting for the right
moment to make her entrance.

**[00:09] ---**
It's nothing new.
**[00:10] ---**
She'll wake up soon.
**[00:16] ---**
Gripen...
**[00:18] ---**
Hooray! It's Daddy!
**[00:21] ---**
Hugs!
**[00:24] ---**
I was told you'd be arriving tomorrow.
**[00:27] ---**
I came early so I could see you, Daddy!
**[00:30] ---**
Then call first.
**[00:32] ---**
Come on, say hello to everyone else.
**[00:35] ---**
It's been so long since we
saw each other, though!
**[00:41] ---**
I'm F-15J-ANM Eagle,
deployed from Naha Base!
**[00:46] ---**
I spent almost every day shooting
down Xi over the East China Sea!
**[00:50] ---**
Great to meet you all!
***SIGN*** Refugees' Fate Remains Uncertain
**[02:25] ---**
* Yashirodoori-san said he'd talk to his bosses*
* and see if Gripen could be tested again.*
**[02:31] ---**
*That was three days ago.*
***SIGN*** Refugees' Fate Remains Uncertain
Several days have passed since multiple evacuation ships
left China to escape from the mysterious flying enemies
named the Xi, only to be sunk while at sea. Many refugees
remain unaccounted for. Ships sent by the Ministry of Defense
to look for survivors reported being ambushed, and...

Remaining Fleet Arrives at Sasebo
**[02:37] ---**
Come in.
**[02:39] ---**
Kei, you got work today?
**[02:41] ---**
Nope.
**[02:42] ---**
Come with me, then!
**[02:45] ---**
Come on!
**[02:48] ---**
Here you go.
***SIGN*** The World You See
**[02:49] ---**
You're paying for this, okay, Kei?
**[02:51] ---**
Let's eat!
**[02:53] ---**
You dragged me here,
*and* you want me to pay, too?
**[02:55] ---**
Yeah, that's the spirit!
**[03:00] ---**
It's better when you're full
of energy, even if you're mad.
**[03:04] ---**
Something's been bugging you ever
since you got that job, right?
**[03:11] ---**
Won't you tell me what it is?
**[03:14] ---**
Sorry, let me hide!
**[03:18] ---**
Where'd she go?
**[03:23] ---**
Are they gone? They're gone, right?
**[03:24] ---**
Great!
**[03:26] ---**
I-Is that you, Eagle?
**[03:31] ---**
You're the person who was with Daddy!
**[03:35] ---**
And who are *you*?
**[03:37] ---**
Sh-She's a co-worker. She just started!
**[03:40] ---**
This is only the second
time we've met, actually.
**[03:43] ---**
You seem *awfully* close, though.
**[03:47] ---**
I-I think it's because she
spent time in America?
**[03:49] ---**
Hey, what the hell happened?
**[03:52] ---**
I finally get permission to leave,
and they keep saying,
**[03:55] ---**
"You can't do this! You can't do that!"
**[03:58] ---**
And *how long* are you going
to keep holding on to him?
**[04:02] ---**
Oh, I know!
**[04:03] ---**
I don't know this area well.
**[04:06] ---**
Show me around!
**[04:07] ---**
What is your problem?
**[04:09] ---**
Kei is with me right now!
**[04:11] ---**
You can't just interrupt us
and try to drag him off!
**[04:18] ---**
Then let's all go together!
**[04:21] ---**
Sorry.
**[04:22] ---**
Go buy something for her.
**[04:24] ---**
Why do I have to do that?
**[04:26] ---**
I want a shake!
**[04:27] ---**
A strawberry shake!
**[04:29] ---**
You can tell, right?
**[04:29] Background**
Shake! Shake! Strawberry shake!
**[04:30] ---**
She's basically a kid.
**[04:32] ---**
I'll tell her to go back to the base, okay?
**[04:32] Background**
Yummy and cute and pink!
**[04:35] ---**
You owe me *big* for this.
**[04:38] ---**
Okay! Okay! Okay!
**[04:42] ---**
Hey, what's it like at the base?
**[04:45] ---**
They're making me do combat training,
but it's way too easy.
**[04:49] ---**
In the simulator, I can shoot down a unit
of Xi fighters in less than three minutes.
**[04:54] ---**
Wow!
**[04:56] ---**
Well, I'm going to be protecting the base
on my own from now on, so it's nothing.
**[05:00] ---**
On your own?
**[05:01] ---**
Where's Gripen?
**[05:02] ---**
At the base.
**[05:05] ---**
But that ends today.
**[05:07] ---**
They decided to shut down her project,
so tonight she'll be sent to the factory.
**[05:13] ---**
No!
**[05:18] ---**
Hey... Kei!
**[05:25] ---**
*Damn it! Damn it!*
**[05:27] ---**
*This is way too sudden!*
**[05:30] ---**
*What the hell was Yashirodoori doing?*
**[05:33] ---**
* Wasn't he going to figure out*
* what was causing her problem?*
**[05:37] ---**
*But he can't even fend off his own bosses?*
**[05:42] ---**
Damn it all!
***SIGN*** Komatsu Base
**[06:04] ---**
I-I did it!
**[06:07] ---**
Where would she be?
**[06:19] ---**
Gripen.
**[06:20] ---**
Gripen, it's me.
**[06:24] ---**
Kei...
**[06:27] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:30] ---**
I won't ask you to forgive me.
**[06:32] ---**
But I wanted to clear up
the misunderstanding, at least.
**[06:35] ---**
I don't hate you.
**[06:37] ---**
I don't want you to go away.
**[06:40] ---**
What I'm trying to say is...
**[06:41] ---**
You're you.
**[06:43] ---**
You're not a Xi to me.
**[06:44] ---**
Is that what you came to tell me?
**[06:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:48] ---**
You went through all the trouble
of asking Haruka to come here?
**[06:51] ---**
I came on my own.
**[06:53] ---**
I didn't get permission to enter the base.
**[06:55] ---**
Strange.
**[06:56] ---**
Why would you do that for
something defective, like me?
**[07:01] ---**
You're not defective!
**[07:03] ---**
You're just not working right for now.
**[07:05] ---**
With more time, you'll be able to fly.
**[07:09] ---**
What evidence do you have?
**[07:10] ---**
None! I don't need it!
**[07:15] ---**
That's crazy.
**[07:19] ---**
But this is goodbye.
**[07:21] ---**
I'm leaving at 6:00 PM to
be scrapped at the factory.
**[07:26] ---**
Are you okay with that?
**[07:28] ---**
It's because I'm useless. They can't help it.
**[07:30] ---**
Don't give up! You've worked so hard!
**[07:34] ---**
Or are you just done dealing
with selfish humans?
**[07:38] ---**
No!
**[07:43] ---**
I still want to fly.
**[07:45] ---**
I want to live in your world.
**[07:49] ---**
Let's run!
**[07:51] ---**
I'll take you out of the base.
**[07:53] ---**
We can hide somewhere until
this all calms down.
**[07:56] ---**
Don't worry. I'll go with you.
**[08:00] ---**
I won't leave you to fend for yourself.
**[08:03] ---**
Kei!
**[08:05] ---**
What is that?
**[08:07] ---**
The Xi.
***SIGN*** Haruka
**[08:12] ---**
Yes.
**[08:14] ---**
Yes. Yes. Roger.
**[08:19] ---**
Hey!
**[08:20] ---**
It was Haruka.
**[08:21] ---**
He says he needs me.
**[08:23] ---**
* That old fatass just told her*
* the words she most wanted to hear!*
**[08:28] ---**
I'm going.
**[08:30] ---**
I want to do what I can now.
**[08:33] ---**
Wait.
**[08:35] ---**
I'll go with you.
**[08:41] ---**
Enemy formation has reached
the JMSDF's defensive line.
**[08:45] ---**
Oh, you're here.
**[08:46] ---**
And you too, huh?
**[08:49] ---**
"You too"? Is that all you have to say?
**[08:53] ---**
You probably snuck in so you
could take Gripen away, right?
**[08:57] ---**
It's nothing surprising.
**[09:00] ---**
Escort flotilla has launched
their AA missiles!
**[09:03] ---**
Ten seconds to impact!
**[09:05] ---**
Nine...
**[09:06] ---**
Eight...
**[09:07] ---**
Seven...
**[09:08] ---**
Six...
**[09:09] ---**
Five...
**[09:10] ---**
Four...
**[09:10] ---**
It's useless.
**[09:11] ---**
Three...
**[09:11] ---**
They'll miss.
**[09:12] ---**
Two...
**[09:13] ---**
One...
**[09:14] ---**
Zero!
**[09:15] ---**
Only one target kill!
**[09:17] ---**
The remaining units are unharmed
and have passed the flotilla!
**[09:19] ---**
That's the main escort flotilla for the
Sea of Japan, and that's all they can do, huh?
**[09:25] ---**
That's pretty depressing.
**[09:27] ---**
*Barbie 02, cleared for takeoff!*
**[09:30] ---**
Eagle?
**[09:36] ---**
I'm off to take care of this!
**[09:38] ---**
*Don't worry about a thing!*
**[09:41] ---**
Is she okay?
**[09:44] ---**
I'd like to say she is, but...
**[09:47] ---**
There are too many of them for a single
Anima, plus our normal fighters,
**[09:51] ---**
to make a difference.
**[09:53] ---**
Oh no...
**[09:54] ---**
We've sighted a formation behind them.
**[09:56] ---**
A strike package consisting
of primarily heavy bombers.
**[09:59] ---**
There are at least twenty of them!
**[10:01] ---**
Twenty?!
**[10:05] ---**
They will encounter the
forward JASDF units shortly.
**[10:08] ---**
Arrow 01 to all units.
**[10:09] ---**
The Xi are within our firing range.
**[10:11] ---**
We will launch a preemptive strike.
**[10:14] ---**
Wilco! Fox 1!
**[10:16] ---**
Fox 1!
**[10:21] ---**
Enemy EPCM is active.
**[10:23] ---**
Fire two SRMs at each target.
**[10:26] ---**
Fox 2!
**[10:27] ---**
Fox 2!
**[10:35] ---**
Break!
**[10:45] ---**
Fox 2!
**[10:52] ---**
You won't get away!
**[10:54] ---**
Splash one and... two!
**[10:58] ---**
I'll protect everyone!
**[11:00] ---**
You understand the situation, right?
**[11:02] ---**
We want as many fighters in the
air as possible right now.
**[11:05] ---**
Defective or not, you're an Anima.
**[11:08] ---**
You can do a lot more than a
patrol craft or a trainer.
**[11:12] ---**
But your schedule hasn't
been adjusted at all.
**[11:15] ---**
Once you're up there,
you're going to pass out and crash.
**[11:20] ---**
Crash... you mean die?
**[11:23] ---**
That's right.
**[11:24] ---**
Is that your answer?
**[11:28] ---**
Didn't you tell me that
moving on to the next choice
**[11:31] ---**
without figuring out the
cause is what monkeys do?
**[11:34] ---**
But the minute the situation changes,
you tell her to launch a suicide attack?
**[11:39] ---**
What happened to your pride as an engineer?
**[11:44] ---**
Of course, I've still got my pride.
**[11:46] ---**
So I'm giving you another choice.
**[11:50] ---**
Run. The both of you.
**[11:53] ---**
Get someplace safe and hide.
**[11:56] ---**
We can keep Gripen safe,
**[11:58] ---**
do everything we can to find the cause
of the problem, and wait for our next chance.
**[12:02] ---**
And what happens to this town?
**[12:04] ---**
They'll probably burn it to the ground.
**[12:07] ---**
Will people die?
**[12:08] ---**
Sure. Lots of them.
**[12:11] ---**
Go.
**[12:12] ---**
There's no time.
**[12:13] ---**
Five units have popped up from
04010 relative to Komatsu!
**[12:17] ---**
They're approaching the base?
**[12:19] ---**
We can't counter them in time!
**[12:24] ---**
Come on, just let me blow you up!
**[12:30] ---**
Go away! Go away! Go away!
**[12:36] ---**
What? *Again*?
**[12:38] ---**
*Barbie 02, change target.*
**[12:41] ---**
* A new enemy formation is*
* attacking Komatsu Base!*
**[12:44] ---**
*Eliminate them immediately!*
**[12:45] ---**
It's not that easy!
**[12:51] ---**
*Barbie 02, you are to protect Komatsu Base!*
**[12:54] ---**
*I repeat! You are to protect Komatsu Base!*
**[12:55] ---**
I promised to protect everybody, but...
**[13:04] ---**
Sitrep!
**[13:06] ---**
We've been hit by the Xi.
**[13:07] ---**
They used NOE flight to slip
past our radar network!
**[13:11] ---**
The runway's taken damage!
**[13:13] ---**
The enemy appears to have used special
bombs to disable our runways!
**[13:18] ---**
If it was a direct hit, this shitty
prefab would be gone in an instant.
**[13:23] ---**
They missed. Get off the ground.
**[13:26] ---**
Go.
**[13:28] ---**
Take Gripen and...
**[13:30] ---**
I'm going to fly.
**[13:32] ---**
Gripen!
**[13:34] ---**
Do you understand? If you go
up there, you're going to die.
**[13:39] ---**
I don't... want to die.
**[13:41] ---**
But the reason I exist
is to protect humanity.
**[13:46] ---**
And I have my memories of
Kei in this city, too.
**[13:52] ---**
* She'll try to protect the city*
* over something like that?*
**[13:56] ---**
*It was only a couple of weeks!*
**[13:59] ---**
*But she's...*
**[14:02] ---**
I'll fly with her.
**[14:03] ---**
Kei!
**[14:04] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[14:06] ---**
Do you really think a human can
handle the way these girls fly?
**[14:09] ---**
As long as I'm near her, she can stay awake.
**[14:13] ---**
So...
**[14:14] ---**
Kei!
**[14:15] ---**
I told you I wouldn't leave
you to fend for yourself.
**[14:21] ---**
Okay.
**[14:29] ---**
What is it with all you
people having death wishes?
**[14:32] ---**
But I like a good gamble.
**[14:34] ---**
Hey, we're sending Gripen up.
**[14:36] ---**
But the runway's unusable.
**[14:40] ---**
Why don't we show them how
it's done in the far north?
***SIGN*** Hokuriku Expressway
**[14:51] ---**
Is this really okay?
**[14:53] ---**
She was built to be able to do this.
**[14:56] ---**
She's light, so she can take off from
highways or even normal streets.
**[15:00] ---**
Normal streets?
**[15:02] ---**
Sweden, the country that built her, divides
its fighters between multiple shelters.
**[15:09] ---**
We've set the rear seat
back to normal controls.
**[15:12] ---**
If you have to,
you'll be able to control it.
**[15:15] ---**
And this g-suit will only reduce
the forces by about 2Gs.
**[15:21] ---**
An Anima can easily exceed 10Gs in flight.
**[15:25] ---**
In the end, it's going to come down
to your stamina and mental strength.
**[15:29] ---**
Right.
**[15:31] ---**
Hey, look!
**[15:32] ---**
They've spotted us!
**[15:34] ---**
Get out of here!
**[15:40] ---**
Kei, ready?
**[15:42] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:43] ---**
You have control.
**[15:45] ---**
I have control.
**[15:52] ---**
Barbie 01, cleared for take off!
**[16:05] ---**
H-Hey, don't tell me you're passing out.
**[16:08] ---**
There's static on the link...
**[16:12] ---**
I can't connect with the Daughter right.
**[16:14] ---**
Is it because I'm aboard?
**[16:16] ---**
Is there anything you can do?
**[16:17] ---**
I'm dealing with it.
**[16:19] ---**
But I can't do it while I fight.
**[16:22] ---**
At this rate...
**[16:25] ---**
I have control!
**[16:27] ---**
Kei!
**[16:28] ---**
You focus on that!
**[16:30] ---**
I'll take over while you do!
**[16:32] ---**
That's impossible, Kei!
**[16:35] ---**
There's no other way!
**[16:37] ---**
Just give me control!
**[16:38] ---**
They're coming!
**[16:45] ---**
It's responding better than I thought!
**[16:50] ---**
That's crazy!
**[17:01] ---**
Damn it! I can't shake them off!
**[17:04] ---**
I know!
**[17:05] ---**
Gripen! Set the canard straight up!
**[17:07] ---**
Incomprehensible.
**[17:09] ---**
If you do that...
**[17:10] ---**
Just do it!
**[17:15] ---**
Set it back!
**[17:18] ---**
*I'm using the canard as an air brake.*
**[17:20] ---**
* If I keep the throttle open,*
* then when the Xi passes me...*
**[17:24] ---**
*I can catch up to it!*
**[17:30] ---**
I never thought of that.
**[17:33] ---**
The canard is automatically controlled
by the fly-by-wire systems,
**[17:36] ---**
but you're an Anima, so you can
control them freely, right?
**[17:40] ---**
Yes, but...
**[17:41] ---**
It's crazy!
**[17:42] ---**
What if the airframe broke?
**[17:44] ---**
Who cares? It all worked out.
**[17:46] ---**
So now...
**[17:49] ---**
I-Is that...?
**[17:52] ---**
I'm ready, Kei.
**[17:54] ---**
I'll shoot them all down now.
**[18:02] ---**
Gripen is heading for the combat zone.
**[18:05] ---**
EGG status stabilized. Direct link: normal.
**[18:08] ---**
TFS303, 306 are at 30% strength remaining!
**[18:13] ---**
Locking on target. Fox 2!
**[18:25] ---**
So this is how an Anima flies?
**[18:27] ---**
I never understood it before...
**[18:29] ---**
But now I can understand.
**[18:40] ---**
I'm feelin' good!
**[18:42] ---**
What I was missing was Kei.
**[18:44] ---**
I was born to fly with Kei.
**[18:50] ---**
Here we go.
**[18:56] ---**
Fox 2!
**[19:19] ---**
Damn it!
**[19:20] ---**
Just a little more. Hang in
there just a little more...
**[19:23] ---**
My body... My head!
**[19:30] ---**
Oh... so this is it.
**[19:32] ---**
This is the world you see.
**[19:38] ---**
Let's fly together, Kei.
**[20:12] ---**
Fox 2!
**[20:28] ---**
Kei?
**[20:33] ---**
I wanted to fly... with you a little more...
**[22:12] ---**
Kei! Wake up! You'll be late!
**[22:16] ---**
You can't be late on your
first day of school!
**[22:18] ---**
Get changed!
**[22:21] ---**
I know... I know, just give me five minutes.
**[22:25] ---**
I'll be really mad if you fall asleep again.
**[22:29] ---**
Ow...

You're tougher than I thought.
**[22:35] (Flashback) ---**
I'm surprised.
**[22:36] (Flashback) ---**
No... I'm a mess inside and out.
**[22:41] (Flashback) ---**
Oh, that thing you said you saw
when you were about to pass out.

Our opinion is that, ordinarily,
what you saw would be impossible.

up to deal with an NFI.

It can't share the senses of

Then wh...

No idea. Maybe you passed out and dreamed it?

*I don't know what it was I saw.*

**[02:01] ---**
They're gonna get behind us, Gripen!
**[02:03] ---**
I know!
**[02:09] ---**
Kei, are you okay?
**[02:11] ---**
Don't worry about me. Concentrate!
**[02:13] ---**
But...
**[02:14] ---**
I'm begging you...
**[02:15] ---**
Don't let me slow you down!
**[02:19] ---**
All right.
**[02:23] ---**
You're kidding me.
**[02:33] ---**
*I won!*
**[02:34] ---**
*Eagle wins again!*
**[02:38] ---**
My winning streak continues!
**[02:41] ---**
We lost, huh?
**[02:44] ---**
Barbie 01, RTB.
**[02:52] ---**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[02:53] ---**
I'm really strong, right?
**[02:55] ---**
Incredible, right?
**[02:56] ---**
Yeah, you totally beat us.
**[03:02] ---**
Hey, you think I'm amazing too, right?
**[03:06] ---**
Not really.
**[03:10] ---**
That last battle was just luck, then!
**[03:15] ---**
A lightweight fighter like you
can't possibly do better than me!
**[03:20] ---**
But you couldn't protect
the town on your own.
**[03:25] ---**
Hey!
**[03:27] ---**
You just lost to me!
**[03:29] ---**
Knock it off, you two!
**[03:40] ---**
It's frustrating.
**[03:42] ---**
When she says what you and I
worked hard to do was just luck...
**[03:51] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:54] ---**
Next time, let's show her who's better!
***SIGN*** No Smoking
**[03:59] ---**
An Anima is capable of climbs,
turns, and descents exceeding 10Gs.
**[04:05] ---**
But...
**[04:07] ---**
Now Gripen is carrying an extremely
fragile piece of luggage. You.
**[04:13] ---**
The usual limit given for humans is 9Gs.
**[04:22] ---**
Think of it like trying to
do acrobatics while holding
**[04:26] ---**
a spoon with a raw egg on it.
**[04:28] ---**
It's gonna limit what you
can do, no matter what.
**[04:32] ---**
There's no way you can beat
a solo Daughter like Eagle.
**[04:35] ---**
So you're just going to keep
telling Gripen to lose?
**[04:39] ---**
It's really getting to her!
**[04:41] ---**
There's no telling what will happen if she
goes out into a real fight like this.
**[04:47] ---**
Well, the real answer is to train your body.
**[04:52] ---**
Strengthen your muscles,
increase your lung capacity,
**[04:55] ---**
and train in anti-G breathing patterns.
**[04:59] ---**
I'm lifting weights and jogging daily.
**[05:05] ---**
But still, anything past
10Gs is gonna be rough.
**[05:09] ---**
And negative Gs are impossible to deal with,
no matter how much you train.
**[05:13] ---**
So what do we do?
**[05:21] ---**
A way for a human and
an Anima to fight, huh?
**[05:25] ---**
I understand the situation.
I'll see what I can do.
**[05:29] ---**
But I'm a little busy now.
**[05:32] ---**
To be honest, I don't have
time to take care of Gripen.
**[05:36] ---**
I'll have to ask you to keep
her in good mental shape.
**[05:39] ---**
You're busy?
**[05:41] ---**
You do look a little tired.
**[05:44] ---**
I'm dealing with a lot of problems.
**[05:47] ---**
Oh... are you free tomorrow?
**[05:51] ---**
I have something to talk to you about.
**[05:53] ---**
I think I'm oka—
**[05:59] ---**
What is it?
**[06:04] ---**
I'll be going.
**[06:12] ---**
Oh, it's Kei!
**[06:14] ---**
What are you guys doing?
**[06:16] ---**
Physical testing.
**[06:17] ---**
We get regular exams once a month.
**[06:20] ---**
But all she does is mess around.
**[06:23] ---**
'Cause it's boring!
**[06:26] ---**
You're so slow no matter what you do!
**[06:29] ---**
I was better at the side step test!
**[06:37] ---**
That boring test?
**[06:39] ---**
You took it seriously?
**[06:41] ---**
Calm down...

**[07:17] ---**
I lose in the sky,
**[07:18] ---**
and on land, too.
**[07:21] ---**
And then she calls me slow!
**[07:24] ---**
I can't take that.
**[07:26] ---**
I'm so mad, I could scream.
**[07:28] ---**
It's that bad?
**[07:30] ---**
Ow...
**[07:32] ---**
I'll do my best, so you hang in there, too.

I'm glad I got to fly with you again.

Yeah.

**[07:50] ---**
I-I'll be going...
**[07:52] ---**
Why? You've come this far.
**[07:55] ---**
You can come in.
**[07:56] ---**
But this is...
**[07:58] ---**
I'll. Show. You. A. Good. Time.
**[08:01] ---**
*Where did she learn that?*
**[08:03] ---**
Come in...
**[08:05] ---**
* How much of this situation*
* does she understand?*
**[08:08] ---**
* Maybe I need to have them sit*
* down and give her a talking to.*
**[08:12] ---**
* Tell her how a girl her age*
* is supposed to behave,*
**[08:15] ---**
* and what things she needs*

**[08:18] ---**
* I was planning on going home after I*
* walked her to her door, but this...*
**[08:22] ---**
*And it's a weekday afternoon!*
**[08:25] ---**
* Everybody's at their stations.*
* The whole place is empty!*
**[08:28] ---**
* In other words, it's just me,*
* alone in her room,*
**[08:31] ---**
*with the rooms on either side empty!*
**[08:33] ---**
*It smells like a crime.*
**[08:36] ---**
No, no! I'm not going to do anything wrong!
**[08:39] ---**
But this is awkward!
**[08:41] ---**
There are lots of men who'd
take advantage of this!
**[08:48] ---**
I-I came inside.
**[08:51] ---**
E-Excuse me.
**[08:54] ---**
It's really clean.
**[08:57] ---**
If I put up anything too weird,
they get mad.
**[09:00] ---**
Really?
**[09:01] ---**
My life here is a part of my tuning.
**[09:04] ---**
That camera there watches me constantly.
**[09:07] ---**
It's hard to relax around that.
**[09:09] ---**
Not really. I'm used to it.
**[09:13] ---**
What are you doing?
**[09:14] ---**
Changing.
**[09:15] ---**
The sweat feels yucky.
**[09:17] ---**
Go to the changing room or the shower room!
**[09:19] ---**
I'm right here!
**[09:20] ---**
Why?
**[09:21] ---**
Why can't I change in front of you?

B-Because you can't, okay?

Don't ignore me.

Let me go!
**[10:58] ---**
What's going on today?
**[11:01] ---**
I said I'll show you around!
**[11:10] ---**
Hey!
**[11:12] ---**
If you're here, you should've said something.
**[11:14] ---**
I've been looking for you.
**[11:15] ---**
Sorry.
**[11:17] ---**
Aw, she's with somebody already?
**[11:22] ---**
Sorry for interrupting.
**[11:24] ---**
But you seemed like you were in trouble.
**[11:27] ---**
No, you saved me.
**[11:29] ---**
I don't know this area and
didn't know what to do.
**[11:35] ---**
Okay, I'll be going.
**[11:37] ---**
I'm sorry, but how do I
get to Komatsu Airport?
**[11:41] ---**
Komatsu Airport?
**[11:42] ---**
Yes, I'm trying to get to the JSDF base.
**[11:46] ---**
The base?
**[11:48] ---**
The fastest way is probably to take the bus
at Stop #5 and then get off at Ukiyanagi.
**[11:53] ---**
But it's a long way, so you
might want to take a taxi.
**[11:57] ---**
No, I'd rather use my own
legs as much as possible.
**[12:01] ---**
I've been looking forward to coming
to this town for a long time.
**[12:05] ---**
I see.
**[12:07] ---**
Anyway, be careful.
**[12:08] ---**
Stay away from weirdos like that.
**[12:10] ---**
All right. Thank you.
**[12:18] ---**
What the hell's going on?
**[12:21] ---**
How obnoxious.
**[12:23] ---**
Maybe I should've dismantled
his body as well.
**[12:32] ---**
Narutani Kei-san, is it?
**[12:38] ---**
He wants you to come to Hangar 3 today.
**[12:41] ---**
Huh? Hangar 3?
**[12:50] ---**
Hey, there you are.
**[12:52] ---**
So this is the Phantom?
**[12:53] ---**
Surprised you knew that.
**[12:55] ---**
The Phantom II, specifically.
**[12:57] ---**
Modified for tactical recon.
**[13:01] ---**
You can see that extra
tank on its belly, right?
**[13:05] ---**
That's a recon pod.
**[13:07] ---**
This is a Daughter, right?
**[13:09] ---**
It was deployed to Misawa Base in Aomori,
**[13:12] ---**
but now we've decided to bring it here.
**[13:14] ---**
It just got here last night.
**[13:17] ---**
Then the Anima...
**[13:31] ---**
Oh.
**[13:32] ---**
Huh? You're...
**[13:35] ---**
Good afternoon.
**[13:37] ---**
Thank you for your help yesterday.
**[13:39] ---**
Oh, you know him?
**[13:40] ---**
Yes. He gave me some directions yesterday.
**[13:46] ---**
Yes...
**[13:48] ---**
I apologize for not introducing myself.
**[13:50] ---**
I am RF-4EJ-ANM Phantom II.
**[13:55] ---**
Please call me "Phantom."
**[13:57] ---**
Okay...
**[13:59] ---**
But your hair...
**[14:01] ---**
This?
**[14:02] ---**
I'd dyed it yesterday.
**[14:04] ---**
I don't really like standing
out when I'm outside.
**[14:07] ---**
Or did you prefer it black?
**[14:11] ---**
No...
**[14:12] ---**
Um, I'm...
**[14:14] ---**
Narutani Kei-san, right?
**[14:18] ---**
I know you well.
**[14:20] ---**
Gripen's partner.
**[14:22] ---**
I've heard about you.
**[14:24] ---**
Kei...
**[14:25] ---**
Oh, it's Kei!
**[14:27] ---**
Huh? An Anima?
**[14:29] ---**
You're all here.
**[14:31] ---**
The director's waiting.
**[14:33] ---**
Take them to the TRDI building.
**[14:40] ---**
So this is sudden,
but I've got an announcement.
**[14:43] ---**
The Anima at Komatsu Base will now
**[14:46] ---**
function as an independent unit.
**[14:49] ---**
Your new name is the Independent Mixed
Test Unit, or IMTU for short.
**[14:55] ---**
IMTU...
**[14:56] ---**
In other words, from now on, we're a team.
**[15:00] ---**
The Daughters will be brought
together in one place
**[15:03] ---**
to increase Japan's ability
to deal with the Xi.
**[15:06] ---**
It's more efficient from a maintenance
**[15:09] ---**
and management perspective
to have us all in one place.
**[15:12] ---**
But what brought this on?
**[15:14] ---**
The attack on Komatsu.
**[15:17] ---**
It seems to have woken up the higher-ups.
**[15:20] ---**
A plan that had been shelved for
a while was finally approved.
**[15:26] ---**
Who are you?
**[15:28] ---**
I was just listening to Daddy!
**[15:32] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[15:34] ---**
I am RF-4EJ-ANM Phantom—
**[15:38] ---**
An F-4?
**[15:39] ---**
I didn't know any of
those were still flying!
**[15:41] ---**
I thought they were all scrapped by now.
**[15:45] ---**
You've got a big mouth for a child whose
airframe is only twenty or so years old.
**[15:51] ---**
Both of you are old lad—
**[15:52] ---**
Hey! Don't make it any worse!
**[15:56] ---**
Was your embarrassing failure
during the defense of Komatsu
**[15:59] ---**
because you couldn't properly
assess your enemies' capabilities?
**[16:02] ---**
Are you saying you're stronger than me?
**[16:06] ---**
Who knows?
**[16:07] ---**
But I do think that if I'd been up there,
**[16:10] ---**
I could've limited the damage
our allies suffered.
**[16:15] ---**
Then let's fight and see who's stronger!
**[16:18] ---**
I'll show you what I can do!
**[16:20] ---**
Hey, I don't think...
**[16:21] ---**
Very well.
**[16:22] ---**
Yashirodoori-san!
**[16:23] ---**
Let's do some combat training
to test out the Phantom.
**[16:29] ---**
Gripen, you go up there, too.
**[16:31] ---**
Me, too?
**[16:32] ---**
I'll evaluate all three of you.
**[16:34] ---**
We start in an hour.
**[16:36] ---**
Everybody, get ready!
**[16:38] ---**
W-Wait...
**[16:39] ---**
Okay! I'll smash you all up!
**[16:41] ---**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[16:48] ---**
You three don't get along at all.
**[16:51] ---**
Couldn't you be a little more cooperative?
**[16:54] ---**
Cooperative?
**[16:56] ---**
You're all Anima. Can't you get along?
**[16:59] ---**
You all want to defeat the Xi.
**[17:02] ---**
I don't think that set of values
is something we were given.
**[17:06] ---**
The concept you refer to
**[17:08] ---**
wasn't in our initial conditioning
or personality adjustment programs.
**[17:14] ---**
I am who I am. She is who she is.
**[17:17] ---**
We do our mission and save humanity.
**[17:20] ---**
That is all.

Feel free to come at me two on one.

I can get back to my

**[18:06] ---**
You really do make me mad, you old hag!
**[18:08] ---**
Fine! I'll shoot you down first!
**[18:14] ---**
What do we do?
**[18:16] ---**
Join Eagle.
**[18:19] ---**
I'm worried about how
unconcerned Phantom seems.
**[18:22] ---**
She's going out of her way to provoke us.
**[18:24] ---**
She's got some trick up her sleeve.
**[18:25] ---**
Roger.
**[18:27] ---**
*Begin mission.*
**[18:29] ---**
Engage.
**[18:30] ---**
I'm coming, too.
**[18:37] ---**
Fox 2!
**[18:43] ---**
Too easy!
**[18:46] ---**
Now, it's over!
**[18:50] ---**
*Barbie 02, lost!*
**[18:53] ---**
Gripen, break!
**[18:56] ---**
She's behind us!
**[19:02] ---**
Fox 2.
**[19:21] ---**
She disappeared again!
**[19:24] ---**
No way.
**[19:28] ---**
*It's over. Return to base.*
**[19:31] ---**
What the hell is going on?
**[19:36] ---**
Gripen, what's wrong?
**[19:39] ---**
Something... seems weird.
**[19:44] ---**
Don't tell me that was
your best shot, was it?
**[19:48] ---**
All that talk, and you lost so easily
to an old fighter like me.
**[19:55] ---**
There must be some reason, right?
**[19:58] ---**
Some reason that you couldn't
use your full strength,
**[20:00] ---**
and were instead shot down so pathetically.
**[20:03] ---**
Shut up! You jerk!
**[20:07] ---**
Jerk! Jerk!
**[20:08] ---**
I hate you! I hate your guts!
**[20:13] ---**
You didn't need to say it like that.
**[20:16] ---**
The worst people in the world are
the weak who think they're strong.
**[20:22] ---**
"I'm strong. No one can beat me."
**[20:26] ---**
There's nothing more annoying than
someone who's so convinced of that fact
**[20:31] ---**
that they stop thinking
and go out of control.
**[20:34] ---**
Are you talking about Eagle?
**[20:36] ---**
Who knows?
**[20:38] ---**
Why did you cheat?
**[20:40] ---**
Cheat?
**[20:41] ---**
I think it's wrong to cheat in
what should be a fair fight.
**[20:45] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[20:48] ---**
Hey, Gripen...
**[20:50] ---**
You inserted incorrect information
into the data link.
**[20:54] ---**
She cracked into the channel that
Anima use to share information
**[20:58] ---**
about their positions and sensor data,
then fed us false information.
**[21:03] ---**
Then the reason she kept disappearing
and reappearing in that last fight...
**[21:09] ---**
Those were fake Phantoms.
**[21:11] ---**
She was feeding us false
electronic information.
**[21:13] ---**
That's cheating.
**[21:16] ---**
What of it?
**[21:19] ---**
In a real fight, you do whatever
it takes to win, right?
**[21:24] ---**
In a real fight, allies don't share
false information with each other!
**[21:33] ---**
Who is really worse to
have as an ally, I wonder?
**[21:41] ---**
I'll be going.
**[21:44] ---**
I'm keeping the mechanics waiting.

**[00:00] ---**
What's the problem with that Anima?
**[00:03] ---**
Cracking her allies' comm
links to shoot them down?
**[00:05] ---**
That's crazy!
**[00:06] ---**
Why did you bring someone like that here?
**[00:09] ---**
Overwhelming skill and talent.
**[00:11] ---**
Combat experience.
**[00:13] ---**
She's at a level that Gripen
and Eagle can't hope to match.
**[00:18] ---**
Now that the continent's fallen,
**[00:19] ---**
Komatsu is the front line
of the war. We need her.
**[00:23] ---**
But teamwork will be
impossible at this rate!
**[00:30] ---**
Do you think she's a bad person?
**[00:35] ---**
Well, I don't think we can trust her.
**[00:37] ---**
I don't understand what she's thinking.
**[00:41] ---**
Then the one thing I can do is
correct that misunderstanding.
**[00:44] ---**
As for the way she thinks,
her highest priority...
**[00:48] ---**
...is to save humanity.
***SIGN*** No Smoking
**[02:23] ---**
It's saving humanity from the Xi.
**[02:26] ---**
Listen to me.
***SIGN*** Raison d'Etre
**[02:27] ---**
Not humans. Humanity.
**[02:31] ---**
She's trying to protect the entire species.
**[02:35] ---**
Humanity?
**[02:38] ---**
She's the first Anima the JSDF created.
**[02:42] ---**
She was my first work.
**[02:44] ---**
We had some unusual hopes for her,
**[02:46] ---**
and we didn't know when the
next Anima would come.
**[02:49] ---**
Perhaps she thought she had
to do everything by herself.
**[02:54] ---**
You know what Eagle's personality is like.
**[02:56] ---**
There's no way she'll be able
to get along with Phantom.
**[02:59] ---**
I thought that you and Gripen might...
**[03:02] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[03:03] ---**
That relationship has already fractured.
**[03:07] ---**
Maybe you should all go get drunk together?
**[03:10] ---**
Get to know each other better.
**[03:12] ---**
I'm a minor.
**[03:15] ---**
I'm joking.
**[03:17] ---**
The realistic solution is to limit the
amount of time you interact with each other.
**[03:23] ---**
But is that really a team, then?
***SIGN*** Director's Office
**[03:32] ---**
Are you done talking with Haruka?
**[03:35] ---**
I guess.
**[03:37] ---**
Want to go get some food?
**[03:38] ---**
I need to talk to you.
**[03:40] ---**
So let's go somewhere quiet.
**[03:43] ---**
Are you okay?
**[03:45] ---**
I'm so hungry, I could die.
**[03:48] ---**
We're going right now!
**[03:57] ---**
Heaven?
**[03:59] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[04:03] ---**
I brought some yogurt drinks.
**[04:05] ---**
I got two. One for me and one for...
**[04:08] ---**
Hey, don't act like I
brought them both for you!
**[04:13] ---**
Here, eat up.
**[04:15] ---**
Thanks.
**[04:19] ---**
Um...
**[04:21] ---**
Here. "Aah."
**[04:24] ---**
Where did you learn to do that?
**[04:26] ---**
One of the maintenance staff said that
I could seduce any man by doing this.
**[04:31] ---**
I need to talk to that guy.
**[04:33] ---**
Badly.
**[04:36] ---**
You're not happy?
**[04:38] ---**
You only do stuff like
that for someone special.
**[04:42] ---**
I think you're special, Kei.
**[04:45] ---**
That's not it.
**[04:47] ---**
I mean, if you like them,
or you're in love...
**[04:51] ---**
I like you Kei.
**[04:52] ---**
I love you.
**[04:54] ---**
Don't say that until you actually
know what those words mean.
**[05:06] ---**
You girls are all unique, aren't you?
**[05:10] ---**
You mean us Anima?
**[05:11] ---**
You all seem like really
different people.
**[05:17] ---**
Wouldn't it be easier to just
make a group of JAS39s
**[05:22] ---**
and a group of F-15s?
**[05:24] ---**
That's impossible.
**[05:26] ---**
You can only make one Anima
from a particular model.
**[05:29] ---**
Really?
**[05:30] ---**
When Eagle was born,
**[05:32] ---**
it meant the end of all attempts to
make a Daughter from the F-15 family.
**[05:35] ---**
She's a J model, but there will
be no C or D models born.
**[05:41] ---**
In the same way that humanity as a
group has its own survival instincts,
**[05:44] ---**
the "species" called JAS39 and F-15
have their own unique characters
**[05:49] ---**
and raison d'être.
**[05:51] ---**
And the Anima may be an icon of that.
**[05:54] ---**
It may be that creating a soul isn't so
simple that you can do it with a single plane.
**[05:59] ---**
That's what someone from TRDI said once.
**[06:02] ---**
That's really philosophical.
**[06:06] ---**
That means that you guys are just
gonna have to get along, I guess.
**[06:11] ---**
Sorry.
**[06:13] ---**
I'll explain.
**[06:18] ---**
Humanity's salvation...
**[06:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[06:22] ---**
I think I understand that.
**[06:25] ---**
"If I go down, it's all over."
**[06:28] ---**
Just looking at the combat
information archives tells you
**[06:32] ---**
how much pressure the first
Daughters were under.
**[06:36] ---**
It's not just Phantom.
**[06:38] ---**
All the Anima in the other countries
are the same too, probably.
**[06:41] ---**
Other countries?
**[06:43] ---**
That's right.
**[06:44] ---**
Russia was the first country to
research the Anima and Daughters.
**[06:47] ---**
Next was the Japanese Phantom.
**[06:49] ---**
Then the American Rhino, later.
**[06:52] ---**
But forget that, Kei. We have our
own problem to deal with!
**[06:56] ---**
What's that?
**[06:58] ---**
We need to be strong enough
to defend Komatsu Base.
**[07:00] ---**
And so we need to win in one
of our training exercises.
**[07:03] ---**
We lost to both Eagle and Phantom.
**[07:06] ---**
Right now, we're in last place.
At the bottom.
**[07:09] ---**
This is a serious emergency.
**[07:12] ---**
Oh, you're right.
**[07:15] ---**
I was supposed to be
thinking about that, too.
**[07:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:28] ---**
I'm so tired.
**[07:30] ---**
I knew we left too late.
**[07:32] ---**
In the end, this was all we got.
**[07:34] ---**
Is this place always like this?
**[07:37] ---**
It's the place with the biggest
discounts near the station.
**[07:41] ---**
And it's running the biggest
sale in its history this week.
**[07:44] ---**
You dragged me out of the
house on my one day off.
**[07:48] ---**
* I haven't had any time to think about*
* the homework Gripen gave me.*
**[07:52] ---**
Don't worry. Big Sis Minghua will treat you
to something as thanks for your hard work!
**[07:56] ---**
Anything you want!
**[07:58] ---**
Seriously?
**[08:00] ---**
I-In exchange...
**[08:02] ---**
Come with me this afternoon.
**[08:04] ---**
There's a new supermarket near the station.
**[08:07] ---**
We can get things there we couldn't get here.
**[08:08] ---**
Yes? Hello?
**[08:10] ---**
* This is an emergency summons.*
* Briefing in 15 minutes.*
**[08:13] ---**
*I'll be waiting.*
**[08:15] ---**
Hey! You can't just...
**[08:17] ---**
So once we're done shopping, there's
this spot called Kibagata Park.
**[08:21] ---**
It's a little far, but do you want to go?
**[08:25] ---**
You can rent boats!
It sounds like a lot of fun.
**[08:28] ---**
Sorry, Minghua. I've gotta run.
**[08:32] ---**
You can get me something next time.
**[08:33] ---**
I'll think about what I want.
**[08:35] ---**
Wai—
**[08:41] ---**
What's your problem?
**[08:43] ---**
Today at 0630,
**[08:46] ---**
the Xi entered our ADIZ on the southwest
side of the East China Sea.
**[08:50] ---**
The JSDF and USAF scrambled immediately,
**[08:53] ---**
but both suffered heavy damage
and failed to defeat the enemy.
**[08:57] ---**
The remaining enemy forces are circling an
area 150 kilometers north of Ishigaki Island.
**[09:02] ---**
Some of them have gone to Umidori
Island, an uninhabited island nearby.
***SIGN*** Photo: Japan Coast Guard
**[09:09] ---**
What is that?
**[09:11] ---**
It may look bizarre,
**[09:13] ---**
but from our analyses,
this appears to be their FOB.

**[09:29] ---**
After reaching Umidori Island,
**[09:33] ---**
the Xi automatically deployed their cargo,
**[09:35] ---**
which is transforming into a base,
**[09:38] ---**
most likely.
**[09:39] ---**
What happens when it's done transforming?
**[09:42] ---**
Well, it would be a disaster,
to put it mildly.
**[09:46] ---**
This is the First Island Chain.
**[09:48] ---**
The Far East's defense line against the Xi.
**[09:52] ---**
And this is where they've landed.
**[09:57] ---**
If they can maintain a presence here,
**[09:59] ---**
the East China Sea defense
line will collapse.
**[10:03] ---**
What do we do?
**[10:05] ---**
Destroy the base before it's finished.
**[10:08] ---**
What else?
**[10:09] ---**
So we just go blow it up?
**[10:12] ---**
It's not that easy.
**[10:15] ---**
We're not bombers.
**[10:18] ---**
Even if we carried all the bombs we could,
**[10:20] ---**
there's a limit to how much firepower we
could bring to bear against a ground target.
**[10:23] ---**
We wouldn't be able to neutralize
the enemy's presence on the island.
**[10:27] ---**
Correct.
**[10:29] ---**
Thus, the US military and the
JGSDF will attack the base.
**[10:35] ---**
The remaining ships of
the 7th Fleet, as well as
**[10:37] ---**
the JGSDF forces on Ishigaki Island,
will saturate the island with missiles.
**[10:41] ---**
One hundred SSMs. About 50 tons of explosives
will burn everything on that island to ash.
**[10:46] ---**
But they have their EPCM.
**[10:48] ---**
Normal weapons won't reach the target.
**[10:52] ---**
Hence, the Daughters will take over guidance
while the missiles are in flight.
**[10:55] ---**
This operation will require you to run
**[10:57] ---**
an air superiority mission while providing
targeting support against all targets.
**[11:02] ---**
Given the processing power required, we're
going to have Phantom handle the guidance.
**[11:06] ---**
The other two will provide escort.
**[11:11] ---**
Escort?
**[11:13] ---**
You're telling me to entrust
these two with my life?
**[11:16] ---**
Yes.
**[11:17] ---**
Is that a problem?
**[11:21] ---**
Hey...
**[11:24] ---**
I refuse.
**[11:26] ---**
I don't want to die for nothing.
**[11:29] ---**
Hey, are you saying you don't
trust me to escort you?
**[11:33] ---**
But this entire operation depends
on your processing power.
**[11:37] ---**
You know nobody can do it but you.
**[11:43] ---**
Then may I be placed in charge
when we're in flight?
**[11:47] ---**
If I'm allowed to change our mission
parameters in response to the situation,
**[11:51] ---**
I'll consider it.
**[11:56] ---**
No way! No way! No way!
**[11:59] ---**
Who does she think she is? Just because
she won one single mock battle!
**[12:02] ---**
That brat! Brat! Brat!
**[12:04] ---**
Calm down.
**[12:06] ---**
If you're that upset,
you'll get in an accident.
**[12:14] ---**
Kei, Haruka wants you to hurry up.
**[12:16] ---**
He says to get your butt out there.
**[12:17] ---**
Did something happen?
**[12:19] ---**
Word came in from recon
planes in the mission area.
**[12:22] ---**
Additional transport-type Xi arrived
and dropped more containers.
**[12:25] ---**
Additional escorts have arrived,
and it's getting difficult to get close.
**[12:29] ---**
Let's hurry.
**[12:38] ---**
*Barbie 03, contact departure.*
**[13:05] ---**
Barbie 01, cleared for take off!
**[13:14] ---**
After refueling mid-air at Cape Muroto,
**[13:16] ---**
you'll head for the mission area.
**[13:18] ---**
Eagle and Gripen are to bring down
as many enemies as possible.
**[13:21] ---**
Phantom is to enter the island's airspace,
**[13:24] ---**
and as soon as the data link is established,
**[13:26] ---**
give the launch order to the
JGSDF and American militaries.
**[13:28] ---**
Got it?
**[13:29] ---**
02, roger!
**[13:30] ---**
03, roger.
**[13:34] ---**
Gripen... Can you open a
channel just to Phantom?
**[13:38] ---**
I can. Why?
**[13:39] ---**
Can you let me talk to her for a second?
**[13:42] ---**
Something feels wrong.
**[13:47] ---**
*01 to 03. Do you read?*
**[13:50] ---**
* What is it? Why do you need*
* to use encrypted comms?*
**[13:53] ---**
*Kei wants to talk to you.*
**[13:55] ---**
*Passing the mic to him.*
**[14:00] ---**
Is that you, Phantom?
**[14:01] ---**
*Yes. Do you need something?*
**[14:04] ---**
I heard from Yashirodoori-san.
**[14:06] ---**
Um, you're trying your best to be useful
to humans in your own way, right?
**[14:13] ---**
We need to do something about this base...
**[14:17] ---**
*What happens if we don't?*
**[14:21] ---**
Humanity's total population is 7.5 billion.
**[14:24] ---**
Japan's population, however,
is a mere 120 million.
**[14:27] ---**
Just 1.6% of humanity.
**[14:30] ---**
*Even if everyone on the island chain dies,*
**[14:32] ---**
* it's a small loss from the*
* perspective of the larger whole.*
**[14:35] ---**
You're willing to let Japan be destroyed?
**[14:38] ---**
I cannot allow myself to die here.
**[14:42] ---**
There are many enemies,
and few Anima to deal with them.
**[14:47] ---**
I absolutely need to live for as
long as I can and destroy the Xi.
**[14:51] ---**
* That is my reason d'être,*
* the reason I was born.*
**[14:57] ---**
The original Anima, like myself,
**[14:59] ---**
underwent a rather roundabout
method of development.
**[15:03] ---**
We were forced to undergo
countless simulations.
**[15:07] ---**
We were forced to undergo different lives,
under different conditions
**[15:09] ---**
and for differing lengths,
billions if not trillions of times.
**[15:13] ---**
In terms of how much time I experienced,
I'd say it was about a century.
**[15:20] ---**
*A century?*
**[15:29] ---**
It was quite difficult, you know.
**[15:32] ---**
Immediately after birth,
**[15:33] ---**
I didn't even know how to smile.
**[15:38] ---**
Thanks to that, I was able to get more
combat experience than the other Anima.
**[15:44] ---**
I was able to make full use of my abilities
and knowledge to complete my mission.
**[15:50] ---**
I always have been, and I always will be,
**[15:53] ---**
right up until the very last moment.
**[15:59] ---**
*Don't worry.*
**[16:01] ---**
* If Eagle and Gripen can do their jobs,*
* I'll follow the plan.*
**[16:06] ---**
O-Okay.
**[16:09] ---**
*I'm returning to my checklist.*
**[16:10] ---**
*Have a pleasant day.*
**[16:14] ---**
Done talking?
**[16:17] ---**
Yes.

New enemies approaching.
**[17:30] ---**
Radar contact. Four...
**[17:33] ---**
No, eight of them.
**[17:36] ---**
How much firepower do we have left?
**[17:38] ---**
Eight AAMs.
**[17:40] ---**
Eagle has 10 left, so 18 total.
**[17:43] ---**
That and our machine guns.
**[17:45] ---**
Where is Phantom?
**[17:46] ---**
She needs to get into position
and give the attack order.
**[17:51] ---**
*Hey, get over here!*
**[17:53] ---**
*We made you an opening!*
**[17:56] ---**
Above.
**[18:00] ---**
* If the enemy is using EMCON,*
* you're not going to get a warning.*

* And if they get between you and the sun,*
* visual identification is difficult.*
**[18:06] ---**

Oh, jeez!

*Can you also protect me?*

No!

*Take this, dang it!*

Limits reached. We should withdraw.
**[18:54] ---**
*No way! Not when we're this close!*
**[18:56] ---**
*If we run out of ammo, it will be too late.*
**[18:58] ---**

Gripen, Eagle, below us!
**[19:16] ---**
What the hell was that?
**[19:18] ---**
An SAM. A cluster bomb...
**[19:21] ---**
Gripen, are you okay?
**[19:22] ---**
It's the type launched from the ground.
**[19:24] ---**
Probably a new weapon.
**[19:26] ---**
*More are coming!*
**[19:29] ---**
Retreat! Eagle, get out
of here at full speed!
**[19:37] ---**

***SIGN*** Naha Base
**[19:48] ---**
Why didn't you do what Daddy told you to?
**[19:51] ---**
Because you two can't be
trusted to do your jobs.
**[19:53] ---**
If you'd managed to achieve air superiority,
**[19:56] ---**
I would've followed the plan.
**[19:59] ---**
We can't take down that base like that!
**[20:01] ---**
What do we do?
**[20:02] ---**
Without enough combat power,
there's nothing we can do.
**[20:06] ---**
Why not ask the US or Russian
military for additional Anima?
**[20:11] ---**
And if they can't send any?
**[20:13] ---**
We just abandon this area.
**[20:16] ---**
You're certainly pessimistic, aren't you?
**[20:19] ---**
Basically, you don't want to die, right?
**[20:22] ---**
A weapon that chooses the battlefields
it wants to fight on?
**[20:25] ---**
That's pretty pathetic.

K-Kei?
**[20:29] ---**
That's a cheap provocation.

Did you think you could
provoke me into helping?
**[20:34] ---**
Provoke you? Don't be stupid.
**[20:37] ---**
I'm simply telling the truth.
**[20:39] ---**
Those enemies were nothing compared
to the attack on Komatsu.
**[20:45] ---**
Right, Gripen?
**[20:46] ---**
You shot down more Xi than that
during that battle, right?
**[20:51] ---**
This is nothing? Of course it's nothing.
**[20:54] ---**
These guys were chumps.
**[20:58] ---**
It's ridiculous that Phantom
is afraid of them.
**[21:01] ---**
No, that's not right.
**[21:03] ---**
She's just weak.
**[21:05] ---**
So weak she can't win unless she catches
you off-guard in a mock battle.
**[21:08] ---**
That's a very funny joke.
**[21:10] ---**
You think she could beat
me in a straight-up fight?
**[21:14] ---**
With her unstable, light airframe,
**[21:16] ---**
and carrying fragile cargo like you?
**[21:19] ---**
Of course. A coward like you
wouldn't last an instant.
**[21:23] ---**
That's what she says.
**[21:26] ---**
Let's make it clear who's right.
**[21:29] ---**
If we win, you're going to
change the way you act.
**[21:32] ---**
You're the new girl, and you're
going to start listening to orders.
**[21:35] ---**
And if I win, you'll do whatever I tell you?
**[21:41] ---**
Hm...
**[21:43] ---**
Then I'll ask you to leave Gripen
and be my partner instead, maybe.
**[21:50] ---**
Very well.
**[23:27] ---**
Next time on *Girly Air Force*...

Let's make it clear who's right.
**[00:05] Flashback**
If we win, you're going to
change the way you act.
**[00:08] Flashback**
You're the new girl, and you're
going to start listening to orders.
**[00:11] Flashback**
And if I win, you'll do whatever I tell you?
**[00:18] Flashback**
Hm...
**[00:19] Flashback**
Then I'll ask you to leave Gripen
and be my partner instead, maybe.
**[00:26] Flashback**
Very well.
**[00:27] ---**
Are you certain?
**[00:29] ---**
You don't even have the
slightest chance of winning.
**[00:32] ---**
Gripen is an incomplete Anima.
**[00:35] ---**
You can't win against me in a fair fight,
**[00:37] ---**
or even if you try to trick me somehow.
**[00:39] ---**
Do you still really intend to fight?
**[00:42] ---**
I'll ask you the same question.
**[00:45] ---**
That way, when we kick your ass,
you won't be able to make excuses.
***SIGN*** After the Bewilderment
**[02:24] ---**
*So, um... sorry.*
**[02:26] ---**
*We're going to have a real fight.*
**[02:30] ---**
"Impossible. What the
hell are you thinking?"
**[02:33] ---**
...is what I'd like to say.
**[02:34] ---**
But words wouldn't be enough to persuade her.
**[02:38] ---**
*I'm surprised.*
**[02:39] ---**
*I thought you'd be mad.*
**[02:41] ---**
We don't have time for a lengthy debate.
**[02:45] ---**
If Phantom doesn't participate
in tomorrow's operation,
**[02:47] ---**
we're not going to succeed.
**[02:52] ---**
And that would mean that Japan falls to the Xi.
**[02:56] ---**
*But we don't have time for a mock battle.*
**[03:02] ---**
*Eagle and Gripen's Daughters need repairs.*
**[03:05] ---**
*What are you going to do?*
**[03:06] ---**
We'll borrow the base's simulators.
**[03:09] ---**
* But even if Phantom agreed to the fight,*
* do you have a way to win?*
**[03:14] ---**
* She'll crack your systems in a simulator*
* just like she would in the sky.*
**[03:17] ---**
* She's the type who'll do*
* whatever it takes to win.*
**[03:21] ---**
That's why we'll do the same thing.
**[03:23] ---**
*What do you mean?*
**[03:25] ---**
I mean...
**[03:31] ---**
*That's basically gambling!*
**[03:32] ---**
I know it's risky.
**[03:34] ---**
But is there any other way?
**[03:36] ---**
Fine. I'll help.
**[03:39] ---**
I'll send Funato.
**[03:41] ---**
If he leaves now, he'll make it by evening.
**[03:43] ---**
Our second try at the operation
is at 0620, before dawn tomorrow.
**[03:48] ---**
We're launching the attack regardless
of whether Phantom participates.
**[03:51] ---**
* Not that there's any way to know how many of*
* those cruise missiles will hit without her.*
**[03:55] ---**
I don't really want to think about it.
**[03:58] ---**
*I'm counting on you.*
**[03:59] ---**
*Bring that tomboy back in line.*
**[04:02] ---**
* Feel free to get a little rough*
* with her if you have to.*
**[04:05] ---**
As long as her father approves.
**[04:07] ---**
*Yeah.*
**[04:10] ---**
Now, I need to go talk to Gripen.
**[04:19] ---**
What's wrong?
**[04:21] ---**
Are you not feeling well?
**[04:23] ---**
You don't want me anymore.
**[04:26] ---**
You said you were willing
to be Phantom's partner.
**[04:29] ---**
That's only if we lose.
**[04:31] ---**
But if we fight,
we're probably going to lose.
**[04:34] ---**
If you accepted her conditions when
there's no way for us to win,
**[04:37] ---**
it means you don't want me anymore.
**[04:40] ---**
I'm so stunned, I can't even stand.
**[04:43] ---**
I'll never recover.
**[04:45] ---**
I want to die.
**[04:47] ---**
Listen, Gripen.
**[04:49] ---**
We're going to win.
**[04:51] ---**
We're going to persuade Phantom to help us,
**[04:53] ---**
destroy the Xi base,
and all go back to Komatsu.
**[04:57] ---**
That's why we're going to fight her.
**[04:59] ---**
Of course, I'll never give you up.
**[05:02] ---**
We're partners. We need each other.
**[05:06] ---**
Don't make me say that after
everything that's happened.
**[05:10] ---**
I'll explain how we're going to win.
**[05:15] ---**
Kei, where are you right now?
**[05:17] ---**
*On base.*
**[05:18] ---**
*I said I had to work.*
**[05:20] ---**
Did you?
**[05:21] ---**
Anyway, we ran into some
trouble doing inventory,
**[05:25] ---**
and I might be staying here tonight.
**[05:27] ---**
*Staying there?*
**[05:28] ---**
They don't have enough help.
**[05:30] ---**
I can't say no, it looks like.
**[05:33] ---**
Fine. I'll bring you supper,
**[05:36] ---**
so wait outside the base for me.
**[05:38] ---**
*Well...*
**[05:39] ---**
You can come out for a minute or so, right?
**[05:41] ---**
It'd be really hard to
get out there in time.
**[05:45] ---**
*Why?*
**[05:47] ---**
Um... Well...
**[05:49] ---**
It's Kei!
**[05:50] ---**
Hugs!
**[05:52] ---**
* Huh? "Hugs"? Kei,*
* I just heard a girl's voice.*
**[05:57] ---**
*Are you up to something?*
**[05:58] ---**
Sorry, I'll call you back!
**[06:01] ---**
Eagle!
**[06:02] ---**
Daddy told me!
**[06:05] ---**
He said you're trying to avenge me!
**[06:08] ---**
Huh?
**[06:09] ---**
He said you'd kick Phantom's butt
and make her apologize to me!
**[06:13] ---**
He said you love me and you were mad
**[06:15] ---**
that she was mean to the girl you loved!
**[06:19] ---**
I love Daddy best,
**[06:21] ---**
so we can't be together,
but you made me really happy!
**[06:22] ---**
*Why did he tell her that?*
**[06:25] ---**
This hug is my thank you!
**[06:27] ---**
Couldn't you have picked a better time?
**[06:31] ---**
Anyway, get off me. Okay?
**[06:35] ---**
Do you not like hugs?
**[06:36] ---**
I do, but... That's not the issue here.
**[06:39] ---**
Aren't you nervous about tomorrow?
**[06:43] ---**
Nope.
**[06:44] ---**
You're not...
**[06:46] ---**
If you had to pick between Japan and the
whole world, which would you protect?
**[06:50] ---**
Let's say that if we lose the
battle tomorrow, Japan is doomed,
**[06:54] ---**
but if you go out there,
there's no hope of surviving.
**[06:57] ---**
If you want to save all of humanity,
**[07:00] ---**
it's better not to fight tomorrow at all.
**[07:02] ---**
What would you do?
**[07:05] ---**
I can just come back
alive and keep fighting.
**[07:08] ---**
Go out there like "whoosh,"
and then win like "boom"!
**[07:13] ---**
Is that weird?
**[07:15] ---**
No, I just feel a whole lot more relaxed now.
**[07:17] ---**
Each of you girls really
are unique, aren't you?
**[07:21] ---**
You each have your own personality
and other things that make you unique.
**[07:24] ---**
So there must be a place where
all of your values meet.
**[07:28] ---**
Getting there is our first goal.
**[07:30] ---**
We can figure out the rest later.
**[07:32] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[07:34] ---**
I'm saying that someday, we'll all
be able to understand each other.
**[07:39] ---**
Thank you, Eagle.
**[07:40] ---**
That was a much better present than a hug.
**[07:45] ---**
I don't get it.
**[07:58] ---**
Oh, there you are.
**[08:00] ---**
Hey.
**[08:03] ---**
I did what the director asked me to.
**[08:06] ---**
Sorry. I know it's sudden.
**[08:08] ---**
It's fine.
**[08:10] ---**
I'm not sure I approve,
**[08:12] ---**
but knowing you, I'm sure you've got a plan.
**[08:16] ---**
Thank you.
**[08:18] ---**
Oh, you're having a strategy meeting.
**[08:20] ---**
Would you like me to wait?
**[08:23] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:25] ---**
We don't have a strategy.
**[08:27] ---**
We're going to defeat you
head on, in a fair fight.
**[08:31] ---**
And there's no reason you brought your
favorite engineer all the way from Komatsu?
**[08:35] ---**
Funa-san came to repair the Daughters.
**[08:38] ---**
He's only tuning up the
simulators while he's here.
**[08:41] ---**
Come on, there's no time to waste.
**[08:43] ---**
Let's get started.
**[08:51] ---**
To confirm, it's really okay to decide
my participation in this operation
**[08:55] ---**
based on the outcome of the battle?
**[08:58] ---**
Yeah. I've gotten Yashirodoori-san's approval.
**[09:01] ---**
Don't do anything lame, like sobbing
and begging, after you lose.
**[09:06] ---**
You, too.
**[09:07] ---**
When you start crying and begging
for forgiveness, it will be too late.
**[09:11] ---**
Okay, let's get started.
**[09:18] ---**
The combat area will be the
vicinity of Naha Airport.
**[09:20] ---**
This is a one-on-one dogfight.
**[09:23] ---**
Everybody, review the mission parameters.
**[09:25] ---**
The weather is cloudy.
**[09:27] ---**
Cloud cover is 7/8.
**[09:28] ---**
* Wind direction is 180 degrees,*
* speed is 5 knots.*
**[09:31] ---**
Well? How are you feeling?
**[09:33] ---**
Not bad.
**[09:35] ---**
It's better-made than the one at Komatsu.
**[09:37] ---**
I can fly it without issue.
**[09:40] ---**
Good.
**[09:41] ---**
*Let's see what you've got.*
**[09:44] ---**
* Also, do note that I*
* neutralized the processing*
**[09:48] ---**
*delay program you put into my simulator.*
**[09:52] ---**
It would have delayed my control response
by several fractions of a second.
**[09:56] ---**
Did you have Funato-san put that in?
**[09:58] ---**
* I'm impressed you managed to do*
* it in such a short span of time,*
**[10:01] ---**
*but it was a rather rough piece of work.*
**[10:03] ---**
I ran 120 or so test signals through
it and found it immediately.
**[10:08] ---**
*Don't worry. I've done nothing to your unit.*
**[10:13] ---**
* So far, that is. I can't say what*
* I'll do when the battle begins.*
**[10:17] ---**
*Good luck.*
**[10:19] ---**
*No way... That's way too fast.*
**[10:22] ---**
Okay, break left and right,
and begin the mission.
**[10:26] ---**
The dogfight begins when
you intersect again.
**[10:29] ---**
Three,
**[10:30] ---**
two,
**[10:32] ---**
*one...*
**[10:36] ---**
Gripen, does anything feel wrong?
**[10:39] ---**
I don't know.
**[10:40] ---**
I don't even know if she's using
the same signals as last time.
**[10:44] ---**
So we may already be under attack?
**[10:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:49] ---**
Can we rely on our radar?
**[10:51] ---**
What do we do, Kei?
**[10:53] ---**
Fight normally, for now.
**[10:55] ---**
I'll keep an eye on things.
**[10:58] ---**
Roger.
**[11:00] ---**
*She's in the clouds, huh?*
**[11:05] ---**
Target lock on.
**[11:07] ---**
Fox...
**[11:09] ---**
What?
**[11:14] ---**
Damn it!
**[11:15] ---**
That position is totally
different than before!
**[11:18] ---**
Did she really move?
**[11:20] ---**
Or is it a fakeout?
**[11:24] ---**
Radar says left.
**[11:26] ---**
Thermal says below...
**[11:28] ---**
But I'm being locked on from behind...
**[11:31] ---**
Kei, I'm sorry.
**[11:33] ---**
I can't keep this up.
**[11:35] ---**
Gripen!
**[11:37] ---**
Looks like you tried a lot of things...
**[11:40] ---**
But you're right there!
**[11:45] ---**
Fox 2!
**[11:52] ---**
Barbie 03 is down!
**[11:54] ---**
Gripen wins!
**[12:02] ---**
What did you do?
**[12:04] ---**
I took out your radar and data link.
**[12:07] ---**
How did you find me?
**[12:09] ---**
You were doing a bad job of concealing
your intent to kill, maybe.
**[12:15] ---**
Don't make that face.
**[12:17] ---**
These simulators are multiseat, right?
**[12:20] ---**
You can put a different system in each seat.
**[12:23] ---**
We put in an Anima system for the front seat,
**[12:26] ---**
and a human system in the rear.
**[12:29] ---**
And what did that do?
**[12:31] ---**
You took over the Anima data link, right?
**[12:34] ---**
So...
**[12:35] (Flashback) ---**
Kei, I'm sorry.
**[12:36] (Flashback) ---**
I can't keep this up.
**[12:39] ---**
I cut off the information
coming in from her,
**[12:42] ---**
and made it so I could receive
information from the craft directly.
**[12:45] ---**
Once we were just an ordinary manned fighter,
it was easy to spot you.
**[12:50] ---**
But how could she fly like
that when she was dazed?
**[12:55] ---**
Who said Gripen was piloting?
**[12:59] ---**
Halfway through, all she was
doing was sitting there.
**[13:02] ---**
At the end, I was the one flying.
**[13:05] ---**
A human pilot?
**[13:07] ---**
An Anima and a human taking turns
piloting a Daughter?
**[13:11] ---**
Even a veteran like you doesn't
know everything yet, right?
**[13:15] ---**
That delay program was a decoy.
**[13:20] ---**
To hide the fact that we'd isolated my
interface and switched control over to me.
**[13:24] ---**
You let your guard down after
making your first discovery,
**[13:26] ---**
and had no idea you walked into a trap.
**[13:29] ---**
Well? This is a new
experience for you, right?
**[13:39] ---**
Very well.
**[13:41] ---**
If you're going to tell me to participate
in tomorrow's mission, I'll accept.
**[13:46] ---**
But I do have one condition.
**[13:49] ---**
Condition?
**[13:50] ---**
I want you to pilot the Daughter
during the next mission, Kei-san.
**[13:55] ---**
Me?
**[14:06] (Flashback) ---**
No! Don't!
**[14:10] (Flashback) ---**
Mom!
**[14:23] ---**
* I want you to pilot the Daughter*
* during the next mission, Kei-san.*
**[14:29] (Flashback) ---**
Gripen's current combat
abilities are very low.
**[14:33] (Flashback) ---**
To tell the truth, she lacks
the capacity to handle piloting,
**[14:35] (Flashback) ---**
radar control, and weapons
systems simultaneously.
**[14:38] (Flashback) ---**
She knows that better than anybody.
**[14:41] (Flashback) ---**
So the best option is to split
things up with a co-pilot.
**[14:46] (Flashback) ---**
Split them up?
**[14:48] (Flashback) ---**
Gripen's maneuvers are capped at
9Gs in order to keep you safe.
**[14:52] (Flashback) ---**
So a human pilot won't perform
all that differently than her.
**[14:57] (Flashback) ---**
Instead, the Anima can handle
the radar and weapons systems,
**[15:00] (Flashback) ---**
boosting sensors and lock-on capability.
**[15:04] (Flashback) ---**
And how do we handle the HiMAT?
**[15:06] (Flashback) ---**
The strength of an Anima is that it can
handle the Xi's maneuverability, right?
**[15:10] (Flashback) ---**
Only idiots do repeated
high-speed maneuvers.
**[15:14] (Flashback) ---**
What's important is altitude and speed.
**[15:16] (Flashback) ---**
You must minimize loss of kinetic energy and
ensure you're always in the optimum position.
**[15:22] (Flashback) ---**
That's all.
**[15:24] (Flashback) ---**
Don't worry. I'll be there to help you.
**[15:29] (Flashback) ---**
You want me to fight the Xi?
**[15:33] ---**
Am I going to fight them?
**[16:00] ---**
*I'm going to pilot Gripen?*
**[16:04] ---**
Kei?
**[16:06] ---**
Gripen!
**[16:07] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:09] ---**
I thought you'd be asleep.
**[16:14] ---**
I couldn't get any rest.
**[16:17] ---**
You couldn't?
**[16:19] ---**
Do you promise not to laugh?
**[16:22] ---**
It's pretty pathetic,
**[16:24] ---**
but when I think about
piloting in a dogfight,
**[16:27] ---**
I can't stop shaking.
**[16:29] ---**
To tell the truth, I'm so scared.
**[16:34] ---**
You're strong.
**[16:36] ---**
You don't complain even when
you have trouble flying.
**[16:38] ---**
You keep trying, never giving up.
**[16:41] ---**
That's wrong.
**[16:42] ---**
I'm not strong.
**[16:45] ---**
But there are a lot of people
in the world who can't fight.
**[16:48] ---**
Who can't shoot down the Xi.
**[16:52] ---**
Compared to them, I'm blessed.
**[16:55] ---**
I can struggle against
them with my own power.
**[16:59] ---**
I can fight.
**[17:01] ---**
Complaining is a luxury.
**[17:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:05] ---**
A normal person can't even
die while putting up a fight.
**[17:09] ---**
But now I have the power to defeat the Xi.
**[17:13] ---**
I have wings that can fight back.
**[17:16] ---**
That's a real luxury.
**[17:18] ---**
Luxury is the enemy.
**[17:20] ---**
No, I know what you're trying to say, but...
**[17:24] ---**
I feel a little better.
**[17:26] ---**
Okay.
**[17:27] ---**
Wait, aren't you going to rest?
**[17:30] ---**
You should get some sleep while you can.
**[17:33] ---**
I need to tune my Daughter.
**[17:35] ---**
But I'm fine.
**[17:37] ---**
I took a nap.
**[17:38] ---**
And...
**[17:39] ---**
And?
**[17:41] ---**
I was able to talk with
you because I was awake.
**[17:45] ---**
I was able to learn about your fears.
**[17:48] ---**
Gripen?
**[17:49] ---**
Don't worry.
**[17:51] ---**
No matter what happens, I'll be there
to back you up until the very end.
**[17:56] ---**
I won't let you fly alone.
**[17:59] ---**
So... let's fight together, Kei.
**[18:02] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[18:04] ---**
Anyway, I'm heading back to the barracks.
**[18:07] ---**
Get some rest, too.
**[18:10] ---**
What's that?
**[18:12] ---**
The Viper Zero.
**[18:14] ---**
Naha Base's Daughter.
**[18:16] ---**
Viper Zero?
**[18:18] ---**
The F-2A-ANM.
**[18:20] ---**
A combat fighter based on the
American F16-C Fighting Falcon.
**[18:25] ---**
But the upgrades to it were so great that it
bears little resemblance to its base model.
**[18:30] ---**
It's a pervert, a 40-year old design
loaded with the latest instruments.
**[18:34] ---**
Pervert?
**[18:37] ---**
A fighter than can carry
four AShMs is a pervert.
**[18:40] ---**
If it's that amazing,
**[18:43] ---**
why didn't it participate
in the last mission?
**[18:46] ---**
Naha Base is on the front lines of the war.
**[18:49] ---**
Protecting it is Viper Zero's job.
**[18:52] ---**
So it never participates in other missions.
**[18:55] ---**
So when it does participate,
it means things are really bad, huh?
**[18:59] ---**
Yes.
**[19:03] ---**
What game are you two playing?
**[19:04] ---**
Let me join in!
**[19:06] ---**
Get off me!
**[19:07] ---**
Let me join in!
**[19:09] ---**
We're not playing! Let go!
**[19:15] ---**
*The Taiwanese Air Force, the US Air Force,*
**[19:17] ---**
* and the forces at Naha will*
* be launching a decoy.*
**[19:20] ---**
* The hope is that they can lure out the*
* planes buzzing around Umidori Island.*
**[19:24] ---**
This is a pretty large-scale operation.
**[19:27] ---**
* The bosses have a fire*
* lit under their asses now.*
**[19:29] ---**
* Air routes over the East China Sea*
* have been totally cut off.*
**[19:33] ---**
* Supply lines to the front will*
* collapse if they don't act fast.*
**[19:37] ---**
*Well, it's a bigger deal now,*
**[19:39] ---**
* but that doesn't change the fact*
* that we're counting on you.*
**[19:42] ---**
*Good luck out there.*
**[19:46] ---**
So the three of us end up
charging in alone, huh?
**[19:49] ---**
Well, that was always the plan.
**[19:52] ---**
*Skipper Head to Barbie.*
**[19:54] ---**
*We have an emergency.*
**[19:56] ---**
* The Taiwanese unit has been wiped*
* out by another enemy unit.*
**[19:59] ---**
*A new Xi force is heading for the 7th Fleet.*
**[20:03] ---**
Barbie 01 to Skipper Head.
**[20:05] ---**
Is anyone going to defend the fleet?
**[20:06] ---**
*A unit is heading from Naha Base,*
**[20:08] ---**
*but it'll take time to arrive.*
**[20:11] ---**
Are we closer?
**[20:12] ---**
*No.*
**[20:14] ---**
If we go to support them, we'll use up
all of our ammunition and fuel.
**[20:19] ---**
Let's continue on our way.
**[20:20] ---**
But there's no point if the fleet sinks.
**[20:24] ---**
Let's split up.
**[20:26] ---**
One of us will go to support the fleet.
**[20:29] ---**
The other two will continue the mission.
**[20:31] ---**
You want us to attack the
island with just two of us?
**[20:34] ---**
That's crazy.
**[20:34] ---**
Crazy or not, we have to
use the forces we've got.
**[20:38] ---**
We don't have the luxury of asking for more.
**[20:40] ---**
Luxury is the enemy.
**[20:42] ---**
Fine.
**[20:44] ---**
I'll go drive off as many of them as I can.
**[20:47] ---**
We'll just have to hang in there
until reinforcements arrive.
**[20:50] ---**
*What are you talking about?*
**[20:52] ---**
*Please protect me, per our original plan.*
**[20:56] ---**
Eagle, go protect the fleet.
**[20:58] ---**
Why are you telling me what to do?
**[21:01] ---**
This isn't coming from me.
**[21:04] ---**
Father told me that this was the
plan if something happened.
**[21:08] ---**
R-Really?
**[21:09] ---**
Really.
**[21:10] ---**
He said that the enemy would stand no chance
in the face of your unstoppable onslaught.
**[21:16] ---**
Though I'm reluctant to say it, I agree.
**[21:20] ---**
Then that's different!
**[21:22] ---**
Daddy said he was counting on me.
**[21:26] ---**
Okay, I'll go shoot down all the bad guys!
**[21:30] ---**
Was that...
**[21:31] ---**
*It was a lie.*
**[21:32] ---**
Thought so.
**[21:34] ---**
*Can Gripen and I actually protect Phantom?*
**[21:39] ---**
Kei, radar contact.
**[21:41] ---**
Head on.
**[21:53] ---**
There they are!
**[23:27] ---**
Next time on *Girly Air Force*...
**[23:30] ---**
ALT 08: "An Unhappy Top Secret."

**[00:07] ---**
We don't have time to waste on the fighters.
**[00:09] ---**
Let's do this quick!
**[00:10] ---**
Enemy craft at two o' clock.
**[00:12] ---**
Five o' clock, too.
**[00:13] ---**
They're on both sides of us?
**[00:15] ---**
Kei, fire.
**[00:17] ---**
It will hit.
**[00:18] ---**
They're behind us!
**[00:19] ---**
Fire.
**[00:25] ---**
It hit!
**[00:26] ---**
It's fine.
**[00:27] ---**
I can take down most enemies
within our firing range.
**[00:30] ---**
Seriously?
**[00:32] ---**
*Kei-san, conserve your missiles.*
**[00:35] ---**
* Ready guns. The next ones*
* are coming in from above.*
**[00:37] ---**
A-Above?
**[00:38] ---**
*Pitch up.*
**[00:40] ---**
Right!
**[00:41] ---**
*Adjust throttle.*
**[00:43] ---**
*Right.*
**[00:46] ---**
*Fox 3!*
**[00:51] ---**
Wow...
**[00:53] ---**
This definitely isn't my piloting, though!
**[00:57] ---**
*Remember that feeling.*
**[00:59] ---**
I'm not a puppet!
**[01:02] ---**
But that feeling...
**[01:13] ---**
Where are they coming from?
**[01:15] ---**
Kei, below us!
**[01:16] ---**
New units. From the island.
**[01:22] ---**
The SAM cluster rounds?!
**[01:24] ---**
Phantom, circle around the
island and try to evade them!
**[01:43] ---**
Second wave, incoming.
**[01:45] ---**
Crap!
**[01:51] ---**
Third wave.
**[01:52] ---**
There's no end to them...
**[01:54] ---**
We can't protect Phantom like this.
**[01:58] ---**
Barbie 04?
**[02:15] ---**
Viper Zero.
**[02:17] ---**
She destroyed the enemy air defense
network with an NOE bombing run.
**[02:20] ---**
I have ASuW capability as well,
**[02:23] ---**
but I can't carry that kind of firepower.
**[02:26] ---**
She really is a pervert.
**[02:33] ---**
She's gone.
**[02:35] ---**
The threat has passed.
**[02:37] ---**
Let's get started.
**[02:48] ---**
Can I trust you to protect me?
**[02:50] ---**
Yes. I won't let a single
one get close to you!
**[02:53] ---**
You'll have front-row seats
to watch my performance.
**[02:56] ---**
*Oh my. How cool.*
**[02:58] ---**
Barbie 03 to Dollhouse.
**[03:01] ---**
Ready for control.
**[03:02] ---**
Request permission to begin mission.
**[03:04] ---**
*Roger.*
***SIGN*** Survivors of the 7th Fleet
***SIGN*** Ishigaki Island
***SIGN*** JGSDF Artillery Regiment
**[03:55] ---**
Wow...
**[03:57] ---**
EPCM levels dropping.
**[03:59] ---**
Surviving Xi are retreating.
**[04:00] ---**
Is it over?
**[04:02] ---**
Yes.
**[04:03] ---**
Eagle safely protected the fleet, too.
**[04:06] ---**
This mission was a big success,
**[04:08] ---**
and I did just what she told me.
**[04:10] ---**
I took control.
**[04:16] ---**
Okay!
**[04:17] ---**
Let's get back.
**[04:18] ---**
Mission complete! RTB!
**[04:29] ---**
Take that!
**[04:32] ---**
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
**[04:36] ---**
Do I?
**[04:38] ---**
You've got a full lineup
of extra large, medium,
**[04:42] ---**
and petite to choose from.
**[04:44] ---**
What?
**[04:45] ---**
I'm kidding.
**[04:48] ---**
Thanks to you, we were able
to complete our mission.
**[04:52] ---**
To be honest, I expected to
lose an Anima out there.
**[04:56] ---**
So this was the best possible outcome.
**[04:58] ---**
Phantom?
**[04:59] ---**
That aside,
**[05:01] ---**
pilot Narutani Kei with fire control
and radar officer Gripen...
**[05:05] ---**
It worked out pretty well, didn't it?
**[05:07] ---**
You can hit any enemy in your
firing range with a missile,
**[05:08] ---**
Wait for me!
**[05:09] ---**
regardless of their exact location.
**[05:12] ---**
With that sort of advantage, a small loss
of maneuverability isn't a problem.
**[05:16] ---**
So it all worked out like you planned?
**[05:19] ---**
No, I just bet on one of those
"new possibilities" you talked about.
**[05:26] ---**
Kei-san, why do you think that girls
like us, made from parts of the Xi,
**[05:30] ---**
are allowed autonomy?
**[05:33] ---**
The natural choice would have been
to have the Anima support humans.
**[05:39] ---**
It feels to me like you two
are the right way to do this.
**[05:45] ---**
You may be the key to winning this war.
**[05:46] ---**
Come and get me!
**[05:50] ---**
We're the key?
**[05:56] ---**
If you ever feel like having a new partner,
**[05:58] ---**
I'll be waiting.
**[06:02] ---**
I won, so that's not happening, right?
**[06:05] ---**
I wouldn't force you.
**[06:08] ---**
But I think I can show you some
things you'll never see with her.
**[07:51] ---**
Die.
***SIGN*** An Unhappy Top Secret
**[07:54] ---**
Hey!
***SIGN*** Yashirodoori-san (JSDF)
***SIGN*** Emergency
***SIGN*** Sending a car
***SIGN*** Inbox
**[08:02] ---**
*Emergency. Sending a car.*
**[08:05] ---**
Seriously?
**[08:07] ---**
What?!
***SIGN*** Naha Base
**[08:15] ---**
And now I'm back in Okinawa.
**[08:18] ---**
Sorry, there was a screw-up and some
parts for Gripen ended up coming here.
**[08:23] ---**
It would take too long to get a plane
ready to get them sent to Komatsu,
**[08:28] ---**
so the director said to just do the
work here and bring them back.
**[08:31] ---**
You guys are as crazy as ever.
**[08:33] ---**
Everyone makes mistakes.
**[08:35] ---**
It's not their fault.
**[08:37] ---**
But who sends a fighter plane up
into the air to correct a mistake?
**[08:40] ---**
You were able to get to Okinawa from your
house in 30 minutes because of that.
**[08:44] ---**
You should save stunts
like that for a hot scramble!
**[08:47] ---**
How long is this going to take?
**[08:49] ---**
What, did you have plans?
**[08:52] ---**
No, not really.
**[08:54] ---**
Probably not that long.
**[08:58] ---**
Kei, I need tuning and have
to stay here for a while.
**[09:01] ---**
What do you want to do?
**[09:04] ---**
I'll just go for a walk.
**[09:07] ---**
Call my phone if you need something.
**[09:09] ---**
Sure, thanks.
***SIGN*** Minghua
***SIGN*** Yesterday
***SIGN*** How much longer?
***SIGN*** Sorry, I lost track of time. I'll be back around 6:40.
***SIGN*** That's super late! I needed you to buy some groceries, but forget it!
***SIGN*** How would I know that?!
***SIGN*** Could you buy some cabbages after all?
***SIGN*** Sure...
**[09:17] ---**
No word from her, huh?
**[09:26] ---**
M-Minghua?
**[09:28] ---**
Minghua! Minghua!
**[09:31] ---**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[09:34] ---**
And that outfit...
**[09:36] ---**
Did somebody bring you here?
**[09:39] ---**
Um, well...
**[09:41] ---**
There's a reason I'm dressed like this.
**[09:43] ---**
It was kind of an accident.
Not really my fault...
**[09:46] ---**
And I was piloting that f-fighter because...
**[09:49] ---**
O-Or well, it's kind of a fighter...
**[09:52] ---**
I mean, it's a normal aircraft!
**[09:54] ---**
And it was because somebody
from the base told me to!
**[09:56] ---**
So you don't need to worry.
**[09:58] ---**
I'm not planning on joining the military.
**[10:03] ---**
H-Hey, Minghua!
**[10:06] ---**
What's your problem today?
**[10:15] (Flashback) ---**
Hey, Kei,
**[10:15] (Flashback) ---**
do you still want to go see that movie?
**[10:17] (Flashback) ---**
Movie?
**[10:18] (Flashback) ---**
Jeez!
**[10:20] (Flashback) ---**
This one!
**[10:21] (Flashback) ---**
Our favorite actor is in it.
**[10:24] (Flashback) ---**
We were talking about going to see it!
**[10:26] (Flashback) ---**
Oh, that was a great movie.
**[10:29] (Flashback) ---**
I love that actor.
**[10:32] (Flashback) ---**
You should go see it if you get a chance.
**[10:35] (Flashback) ---**
Who'd you go with?
**[10:37] (Flashback) ---**
A friend. Yesterday.
**[10:39] (Flashback) ---**
Listen, I didn't go with my
friend because you invited me.
**[10:44] (Flashback) ---**
If you didn't want to go together,
you should've said so.
**[10:47] (Flashback) ---**
That's really mean.
**[10:48] (Flashback) ---**
Huh?
**[10:49] (Flashback) ---**
I never said I was going with you.
**[10:52] (Flashback) ---**
If you wanted to go,
you should've said something.
**[10:55] (Flashback) ---**
You're the one who brought it up!
**[10:57] (Flashback) ---**
"There's this great movie out.
I want to go see it."
**[11:00] (Flashback) ---**
That's why I said to myself,
"Oh, I bet he wants to go with me!"
**[11:04] (Flashback) ---**
I just told you about a movie!
**[11:08] (Flashback) ---**
You're the one who got the wrong idea!
**[11:09] (Flashback) ---**
So you're saying it's my fault?
**[11:11] (Flashback) ---**
It's not anybody's fault.
**[11:14] (Flashback) ---**
You're just being weird.
**[11:16] (Flashback) ---**
Fine. If I see something I think
you'll like, I just won't tell you.
**[11:21] (Flashback) ---**
That's what you want, right?
**[11:24] (Flashback) ---**
Why are you being so mean?
**[11:28] (Flashback) ---**
I was looking forward to it.
**[11:35] (Flashback) ---**
I'm sorry.
**[11:36] (Flashback) ---**
We're living together, after all.
**[11:38] (Flashback) ---**
It would be weird to find out about
something fun and not tell you.
**[11:42] (Flashback) ---**
From now on, I'll make sure to add,
"Go see it with somebody else."
**[11:47] (Flashback) ---**
That's fine, right?
**[11:50] (Flashback) ---**
Die.
**[11:55] ---**
Listen, Minghua.
**[11:56] ---**
Are you still mad?
**[11:59] ---**
*I don't want to fight with you.*
**[12:02] ---**
*I want to be friends.*
**[12:04] ---**
*But she keeps crying and picking fights...*
**[12:07] ---**
*I don't understand her.*
**[12:10] ---**
* She and I used to get*
* in fights all the time.*
**[12:14] ---**
*But as time passed, we always made up.*
**[12:19] (Flashback) ---**
Don't worry!
**[12:20] (Flashback) ---**
Big Sis Minghua is here for you!
**[12:22] (Flashback) ---**
You don't have to worry about a thing.
**[12:27] ---**
Listen, Minghua.
**[12:29] ---**
I don't know how to handle this, either.
**[12:31] ---**
I don't know what you're thinking.
**[12:34] ---**
Have I done something to upset
you without realizing it?

***SIGN*** Think about it until you're satisfied. The choice is yours to make.
***SIGN*** Problems with your condition affect the combat power of autonomous flight unit #4. If left unfixed, this could threaten operational efforts.

"The choice is mine to make"?

That's not fair!
**[14:12] ---**
"Problems with your condition affect the
combat power of autonomous flight unit #4."
**[14:17] ---**
"If left unfixed, this could

**[14:22] ---**
You're really Minghua, right?
**[14:24] ---**
Oh, Narutani-kun! There you are.
**[14:28] ---**
I don't know why she's here, either!
**[14:32] ---**
I definitely didn't—
**[14:34] ---**
What are you talking about? Nobody's there.
**[14:37] ---**
Huh?
**[14:38] ---**
I tried integrating the
new parts with Gripen,
**[14:41] ---**
but they're not working
like we thought they would.
**[14:44] ---**
I'm taking a little break.
**[14:46] ---**
I want the pilot's opinion,
too, so head back.
**[14:49] ---**
W-Wait!
**[14:55] ---**
Hey, Minghua! Where did you go?
**[14:58] ---**
Stop wandering around!
**[15:00] ---**
Come back!
**[15:01] ---**
*That's my line!*
**[15:03] ---**
You run out of the house
and vanish for hours,
**[15:07] ---**
and then you want to know where I went?
**[15:08] ---**
So that's how you want
to do this, huh? Fine!
**[15:11] ---**
I'll come to you right now.
Tell me where you are.
**[15:15] ---**
*Are you at home, Minghua?*
**[15:18] ---**
Of course I am!

*Hey, Kei!*
**[15:27] ---**
What's going on?
***SIGN*** Komatsu Airbase
**[15:33] ---**
That was probably Viper Zero.
***SIGN*** No Smoking
**[15:36] ---**
Huh? Um, Yashirodoori-san...
**[15:39] ---**
That was Minghua I saw!
**[15:41] ---**
But Minghua-san never left Komatsu, right?
**[15:44] ---**
You ran into somebody else in Naha.
**[15:47] ---**
From what you said about her clothing,
I'm 99% sure that was her.
**[15:50] ---**
She likes dressing up.
**[15:53] ---**
You made contact with the F-2A Anima.
**[15:56] ---**
F-2A?
**[15:59] ---**
Viper Zero...
**[16:04] ---**
But that doesn't make sense!
**[16:05] ---**
Why does the F-2A look like Minghua?
**[16:09] ---**
That Anima's a little special.
**[16:12] ---**
It doesn't have a single form.
**[16:14] ---**
Or well, to be more precise,
**[16:16] ---**
it does have an original form,
but it can't be observed.
**[16:19] ---**
How it looks depends on who's looking at it.
**[16:24] ---**
It changes how it looks?
**[16:26] ---**
It's similar to the
observation selection effect
**[16:28] ---**
you read about in the philosophy of science.
**[16:31] ---**
When a phenomenon is observed,
the characteristics and abilities
**[16:35] ---**
of the observer create a bias
in the observation results.
**[16:38] ---**
Recording her with machines or photographing
her with a camera doesn't help, either.
**[16:42] ---**
Whenever a human's subjective
vision comes into play,
**[16:44] ---**
she'll take the form of whoever the
viewer thinks about the most.
**[16:48] ---**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[16:50] ---**
An illusion? Some kind of hypnosis?
**[16:53] ---**
We don't know how it works.
**[16:55] ---**
Her core itself is unstable.
**[16:58] ---**
An Anima's EGG is supposed to be stable,
but hers is constantly changing.
**[17:02] ---**
She's like a mirror, you could say.
**[17:05] ---**
A screen that reflects the heart
of the person looking at her.
**[17:09] ---**
Then what I saw...
**[17:12] ---**
...was a reflection of your mind.
**[17:14] ---**
Of course, she can't copy someone's
personality or knowledge.
**[17:19] ---**
Well? How does it feel to
have touched our top secret?
**[17:23] ---**
I made somebody crazy like
that worry about me?
**[17:27] ---**
So why did she look like Minghua-san to you?
**[17:31] ---**
What do you mean?
**[17:33] ---**
I told you, she responds to the
emotions of those she meets.
**[17:37] ---**
For example, if you're
starting to develop feelings
**[17:40] ---**
for your pretty childhood friend...
**[17:43] ---**
No! No way! You've got the wrong idea!
It's not like that!
**[17:47] ---**
We got into a real fight for
the first time in years,
**[17:50] ---**
and I wasn't sure what to do. That's all.
**[17:54] ---**
Yashirodoori-san, what about you?
**[17:56] ---**
Does Viper Zero look like
somebody special to you?
**[18:00] ---**
An ex-girlfriend or something?
**[18:02] ---**
I'm afraid there's no space
**[18:04] ---**
in my brain for remembering
girls I've broken up with.
**[18:09] ---**
But when I see her, I do realize
that I've lived a complicated life.
**[18:14] ---**
It's not a bad feeling.
**[18:17] ---**
It makes you realize that the path you've
walked wasn't always through a wasteland.
**[18:23] ---**
What does that mean?
**[18:25] ---**
Well, someday I'll tell
you about it over drinks.
**[18:38] ---**
I'm bac—
**[18:42] ---**
Welcome back.
**[18:44] ---**
You're late... aren't you?
**[18:47] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[18:49] ---**
You left without even doing the dishes.
**[18:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:54] ---**
And you made that weird phone call.
**[18:57] ---**
Sorry.
**[18:58] ---**
You're going to explain where you
were and what you were doing, right?
**[19:05] ---**
Forget it.
**[19:07] ---**
You've been gone all day,
and you have to be tired, right?
**[19:10] ---**
Come on in.
**[19:12] ---**
I'm sure you haven't eaten dinner.
**[19:14] ---**
It'll just take me a second to warm it up.
**[19:32] ---**
You're not mad?
**[19:34] ---**
Of course I'm mad.
**[19:36] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:39] ---**
But I'd be madder if you hadn't come back.
**[19:43] ---**
Um, Minghua...
**[19:45] ---**
Wh-What?
**[19:47] ---**
I could've come home earlier,
**[19:50] ---**
but I stopped somewhere on the way.

You were mad this morning.

Well, I didn't realize how
my words affected you.
**[20:27] ---**
I realized I'd done something bad.
**[20:29] ---**
I'm really sorry.

I went too far, too.
**[20:33] ---**
I'm sorry. I should've calmed
down instead of yelling.

And I shouldn't say, "Die,"
even if I'm joking.

Yeah, so...

Um...

The miso soup!
**[20:53] ---**
Hey, are you okay?
**[20:56] ---**
It wouldn't suit you at all.
**[20:58] ---**
Huh? What?
**[20:59] ---**
I was just thinking how weird
you'd look in a frilly skirt.
**[21:04] ---**
You're not really the feminine type.
**[21:07] ---**
You're better off in shorts.
**[21:09] ---**
A blouse with a ribbon on it, or a dress,
none of that stuff is good for you.
**[21:13] ---**
Honestly, even seeing you in a
school sailor uniform is weird.
**[21:17] ---**
You might look better wearing my uniform.
**[21:22] ---**
What are you even talking about?
**[21:25] ---**
Are you picking a fight with me?
**[21:26] ---**
You suck!
**[21:27] ---**
I was an idiot to expect
any kind of tact from you!

I understand it.

Why?

Because that's how I was made.

Made? By who?

What? What did you say?

Then, um...

**[04:09] ---**
Wake up already!
**[04:12] ---**
Sorry, I'm feeling groggy this morning.
**[04:15] ---**
Did I have a weird dream, maybe?
**[04:18] ---**
I'll get the stuff ready!
**[04:20] ---**
You just get yourself ready!
**[04:23] ---**
But...
**[04:24] ---**
Just hurry up!
**[04:29] ---**
What great weather!
**[04:31] ---**
Come on, slow down.
**[04:33] ---**
We can't have any fun if our day
off is too jam-packed to breathe.
**[04:37] ---**
But you never say you want
to go to picnics and stuff...
**[04:41] ---**
And I've got this feeling
that if I don't hurry,
**[04:45] ---**
you're going to run off again.
**[04:48] ---**
What?
**[04:49] ---**
There's no reason for it.
**[04:51] ---**
It's just a feeling.
**[04:53] ---**
Sorry for being weird.
**[04:55] ---**
Anyway, you're sure you don't
have work today, right?
**[04:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:01] ---**
*Well, unless the Xi attack.*
**[05:04] ---**
* But things on the continent have been*
* calm ever since the attack on Umidori.*
**[05:09] ---**
Okay, off we go!
**[05:11] ---**
Let's have fun!
**[05:14] ---**
Get in. We need to talk.
**[05:17] ---**
Um... we've got plans.
**[05:21] ---**
We have important plans, too.
**[05:23] ---**
And we need you.
**[05:26] ---**
There's no time. Let's go.
**[05:27] ---**
Wait!
**[05:29] ---**
Hey!
**[05:30] ---**
Kei, you jerk!
**[05:32] ---**
Now what do I do?
**[05:35] ---**
Are you okay?
**[05:36] ---**
Whose fault do you think it is?
**[05:39] ---**
Sorry, but this is important.
**[05:40] ---**
Our negotiating partners kept their
plans vague until the last second.
**[05:44] ---**
This morning, they insisted
on a rush meeting.
**[05:47] ---**
"Negotiating partners"?
**[05:49] ---**
The US Military.
**[05:52] ---**
I'll have them explain when we get there.
**[05:55] ---**
If I tried to explain, it would
probably just confuse you.
**[05:58] ---**
So when will I be able to get home?
**[06:01] ---**
It'll be a while.
**[06:03] ---**
It's going to take three hours
just to get there and back.
**[06:05] ---**
Three hours?

Two years since we've met in person, I think.
**[06:25] ---**
There was no real need for us to meet.
**[06:29] ---**
Oh, I'll introduce you.
**[06:31] ---**
This is William Shankle from DARPA.
**[06:34] ---**
He and I were grad students in the same lab.

And now we both work for the military.
**[06:40] ---**
DARPA?
**[06:41] ---**
The American Defense Advanced

**[06:49] ---**
Oh, you're the two man cell
everybody talks about?
**[06:52] ---**
Welcome to Atsugi.
**[06:56] ---**
An Anima?
**[07:05] ---**
You really are a normal human.
**[07:07] ---**
You sure you haven't been modified anywhere?
**[07:10] ---**
No artificial arms or
legs, or implanted chips?
**[07:13] ---**
No, I'm...
**[07:15] ---**
Rhino, that's rude.
**[07:18] ---**
You need to introduce yourself
before you start asking questions.
**[07:21] ---**
I told you that.
**[07:22] ---**
Okay!
**[07:25] ---**
I'm F/A-18E-ANM Rhino, with
the American Pacific fleet!
**[07:31] ---**
We'll be going on the next mission together!
**[07:35] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[07:36] ---**
Mission?
**[07:37] ---**
You weren't told?
**[07:40] ---**
It was really sudden.
**[07:42] ---**
I thought it would be better to share the
information we have once everyone's together.
**[07:46] ---**
Sheesh...
**[07:48] ---**
Lazy ass.
**[07:49] ---**
Um, what mission?
**[07:52] ---**
The Shanghai Landing Mission.
**[07:56] ---**
We're going to establish a beachhead on the
continent to help launch a counterattack.
**[08:01] ---**
Let me introduce myself properly.
**[08:04] ---**
I'm William Shankle. My specialty is AI,
**[08:07] ---**
but at the moment, I'm researching
Anima and Daughters.
**[08:11] ---**
Rhino here is one of the things we've made.
**[08:13] ---**
Oh, I'm Narutani Kei.
**[08:16] ---**
And this is...
**[08:17] ---**
JAS39 ANM Gripen.
**[08:21] ---**
I'm happy to meet you both.
**[08:24] ---**
As we were just saying, we're planning
an invasion of the continent.
**[08:30] ---**
Taking back Shanghai?
**[08:34] ---**
If we work with you Japanese
Anima, we can do it.
**[08:40] ---**
We're participating, too?
**[08:43] ---**
But...
**[08:44] ---**
But?
**[08:46] ---**
In the last mission, we ran into
an incredible number of Xi.
**[08:51] ---**
At Umidori?
**[08:53] ---**
Yes. There were a hundred,
no, two hundred there!
**[08:58] ---**
If we're attacking China itself,
there'll be even more, right?
**[09:02] ---**
I see. So you're concerned we
don't have enough firepower.
**[09:06] ---**
You're right. The US is
behind in Anima research.
**[09:10] ---**
Our only success so far has been Rhino here.
**[09:14] ---**
But then even if we join you,
that's only four or five Anima.
**[09:19] ---**
We have a plan.
**[09:20] ---**
A plan?
**[09:21] ---**
There are ways to deal with
the Xi besides using Anima.
**[10:08] ---**
The FQ-150A Brawler.
**[10:11] ---**
An unmanned fighter
developed to fight the Xi.
**[10:14] ---**
An unmanned fighter?
**[10:16] ---**
We analyzed the combat data
from the Anima and Daughters,
**[10:19] ---**
turned it into software, and
loaded it into the fighters.
**[10:22] ---**
Twelve of them, a full squadron,
**[10:25] ---**
will be used in this operation.
**[10:28] ---**
But if the Xi use their EPCM,
**[10:31] ---**
only Anima can hit them, right?
**[10:34] ---**
We've analyzed over 10 billion
EPCM patterns and developed
**[10:39] ---**
an algorithm that can deal with it.
**[10:42] ---**
The Brawler can identify the direction
and intensity of the jamming,
**[10:45] ---**
and respond exactly as an
Anima could in every manner.
**[10:49] ---**
It can shoot them down?
**[10:52] ---**
I'm sure of it.
**[10:55] ---**
You can't expect a crappy knock-off
like that to work in a real battle.
**[10:59] ---**
You had to use statistical analysis because
you couldn't actually figure out
**[11:02] ---**
how EPCM works, right, Willy?
**[11:06] ---**
It's better than letting something
as unscientific as an Anima
**[11:08] ---**
remain a black box while using it in combat!
**[11:11] Background**
Who was it who was begging
me for my combat data?
**[11:13] Foreground**
Hey, let's get lunch.
**[11:14] Foreground**
They're going to be a while.
**[11:16] Background**
Without me, you never
could've gotten this done.
**[11:16] ---**
But...
**[11:19] Background**
I took what you and the Russians
started and perfected it!
**[11:21] Foreground**
Yeah.
**[11:24] Foreground**
Let's go.
**[11:24] Background**
If we ever want something to fight
the Xi with besides Anima...
**[11:26] Foreground**
Hurry, hurry.
**[11:27] Foreground**
Let's go!
**[11:28] Background**
Your plan is to use these ugly knock-offs?
**[11:31] ---**
What do you think about
those unmanned fighters?
**[11:34] ---**
I don't know.
**[11:35] ---**
I don't hear anything from them.
**[11:38] ---**
They're as cold and silent as iron.
**[11:41] ---**
They're not like Daughters?
**[11:43] ---**
No. It's hard to put it into words.
**[11:47] ---**
Can they fight the Xi?
**[11:49] ---**
That's impossible.
**[11:50] ---**
Their movements are simplistic,
and their reaction time is slow.
**[11:53] ---**
All they could do is try and dodge.
**[11:56] ---**
I see...
**[11:58] ---**
But that changes if there's enough of them.
**[12:01] ---**
Having any allies who can
work under EPCM is valuable.
**[12:05] ---**
Yashirodoori-san didn't seem to like them.
**[12:09] ---**
I think he doesn't like sending unmanned
fighters up knowing they'll be shot down.
**[12:14] ---**
Because it's not elegant?
**[12:17] ---**
Haruka sees no difference
between humans and machines.
**[12:20] ---**
If you think of the two as separate,
**[12:23] ---**
we Anima are also unmanned units.
**[12:26] ---**
Which means we're expendable, too.
**[12:29] ---**
I'm back!
**[12:31] ---**
I bought a little bit too much.
**[12:34] ---**
A little bit too much?
**[12:36] ---**
Don't worry about it. It's my treat.
**[12:40] ---**
That's not the issue.
**[12:42] ---**
Kei, hurry.
**[12:44] ---**
I am being forced to endure terribly!
**[12:48] ---**
Okay, let's eat.
**[12:57] ---**
Hey, can I ask a question?
**[12:59] ---**
Wh-What?
**[13:01] ---**
How come she can only
fly when she's with you?
**[13:03] ---**
Can you two feel each
other when you're apart?
**[13:06] ---**
Are you, like, connected
by a mysterious power?
**[13:09] ---**
H-Hold on!
**[13:11] ---**
I don't really know myself.
**[13:14] ---**
The JSDF is looking into it, but...
**[13:17] ---**
I see.
**[13:19] ---**
Sorry.
**[13:20] ---**
No, it's fine.
**[13:22] ---**
Tell me about the other Anima, then.
**[13:25] ---**
There're others besides Gripen, right?
**[13:27] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[13:29] ---**
One of them's really silly and loud.
**[13:31] ---**
And one's really mean and sarcastic.
**[13:36] ---**
Do I have a cold?
**[13:38] ---**
Don't worry.
**[13:40] ---**
They say a certain type of
person won't catch colds.
**[13:44] ---**
What are Kei-san and Gripen doing
at Atsugi right now, I wonder?
**[13:48] ---**
They might be eating a ton
of food at a welcoming party!
**[13:50] ---**
I wish I could've gone!
**[13:53] ---**
I'm so jealous.
**[13:54] ---**
You've got lots of other Anima around you.
**[13:57] ---**
America isn't making any
other Anima besides you?
**[14:00] ---**
Nope! We keep spending a
ton of money and failing.
**[14:04] ---**
The higher-ups are panicking, you know.
**[14:07] ---**
If Japan and America fought, it
would be four Anima against one.
**[14:11] ---**
Eight versus one if Russia joined in.
**[14:15] ---**
War with Japan?
**[14:17] ---**
"Prepare for the worst"
is the military's motto.
**[14:21] ---**
That's probably why they're making
those cheap Brawler things.
**[14:25] ---**
That's... But...
**[14:27] ---**
Humans are weird, huh?
**[14:29] ---**
They've got an enemy outside already,
**[14:31] ---**
and they're looking for an enemy inside.
**[14:36] ---**
Hey, what do you think?
**[14:38] ---**
We look like humans.
**[14:41] ---**
Will the same thing ever happen to us?
**[14:43] ---**
Will we make groups, draw distinctions
between friends and outsiders,
**[14:47] ---**
and look for things to fight each other over?
**[14:52] ---**
There you are.
**[14:54] ---**
I've been looking for you.
**[14:55] ---**
Sorry. We were getting lunch.
**[14:58] ---**
Narutani-kun, do you have
some time after this?
**[15:01] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:03] ---**
You too, Gripen, if possible.
**[15:07] ---**
As I said earlier, AI is my specialty.
**[15:12] ---**
And I've been wondering if it's possible to
analyze the Xi's actions from that perspective.
**[15:16] ---**
The Xi's actions?
**[15:18] ---**
It's impossible to analyze any single action,
**[15:20] ---**
but with millions or tens
of millions of data points,
**[15:23] ---**
it should be possible to see
what priorities drive them.
**[15:26] ---**
Were you able to do it?
**[15:29] ---**
If only it were that easy.
**[15:31] ---**
But...
**[15:32] ---**
I was able to make a simple simulation.
**[15:35] ---**
It's a game, basically.
**[15:37] ---**
Blue are human military units.
**[15:39] ---**
Green are civilians.
**[15:41] ---**
Red are the Xi.
**[15:42] ---**
Once you're done moving, it's Red's turn.
**[15:45] ---**
The CPU will select the appropriate response
for the Xi to take based on your actions,
**[15:49] ---**
using the data it has on them.
**[15:51] ---**
The areas where civilians
are gathered are cities.
**[15:54] ---**
No other areas can hold
large numbers of people,
**[15:56] ---**
and as time passes, unit numbers
outside cities decline.
**[16:00] ---**
Humans can't survive for long periods of
time without infrastructure, after all.
**[16:05] ---**
Then I have to protect the cities, don't I?
**[16:08] ---**
That's one of the things
we'd like to see how someone
**[16:11] ---**
who isn't part of the research team chooses.
**[16:13] ---**
What do I do to win?
**[16:15] ---**
There are two ways. One
is to wipe out the Xi.
**[16:17] ---**
The second is to keep
humanity alive for 10 years.
**[16:21] ---**
If humanity's wiped out before 10
years have passed, it's game over.
**[16:31] ---**
Interested?
**[16:34] ---**
*Where do I start? I know...*
**[16:43] ---**
If I remember right, when
the Xi first appeared,
**[16:46] ---**
none of the nations of the
world really believed it.
**[16:48] ---**
They didn't trust each other, and so
their response was delayed, right?
**[16:51] ---**
They all thought it might actually
be an army from another country.
**[16:54] ---**
If everybody had cooperated from the start...
**[16:57] ---**
Yes, that's a standard opening, but...
**[17:06] ---**
You need to keep in mind how
much more powerful they are.
**[17:09] ---**
It's impossible to beat
the Xi with equal numbers.
**[17:36] ---**
That's a loss.
**[17:38] ---**
You lasted 30 turns. Two
and a half years, I guess.
**[17:42] ---**
Can I try again?
**[17:45] ---**
As many times as you like.
**[18:17] ---**
That's enough.
**[18:22] ---**
All right, I guess it's your turn next.
**[18:25] ---**
Me?
**[18:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:27] ---**
I won't force you to, but...
**[18:29] ---**
Kei?
**[18:31] ---**
Go for it.
**[18:39] ---**
Listen, you can't...
**[18:43] ---**
Shut up and watch.
**[19:14] ---**
How?
**[19:15] ---**
The cities were annihilated. There's
not a single military unit left.
**[19:18] ---**
But...
**[19:20] ---**
Humanity survived.
**[19:24] ---**
All you did was draw humanity
away from the cities.
**[19:28] ---**
Into the mountains and forests, places
it's hard to imagine humans surviving.
**[19:33] ---**
What made you do that?
**[19:36] ---**
I don't know.
**[19:37] ---**
I just felt it was better to do that.
**[19:41] ---**
Felt?
**[19:43] ---**
Yes. Intuition.
**[19:46] ---**
It just felt right that way.
**[19:48] ---**
Intuition?
**[19:49] ---**
Is it Haruka's programming?
**[19:51] ---**
Or an effect of the machine learning?
**[19:53] ---**
Hey, Shankle-san!
**[19:53] ---**
Or something else...
**[19:55] ---**
I want to analyze your thought
routines and memory area.
**[19:59] ---**
You don't mind, right?
**[20:00] ---**
I won't hurt your personality data.
**[20:03] ---**
Just a little... just a little!
**[20:05] ---**
Please!
**[20:07] ---**
Shankle-san!
**[20:09] ---**
Yashirodoori-san?
**[20:11] ---**
We're leaving.
**[20:13] ---**
Okay...
**[20:16] ---**
Haruka!
**[20:17] ---**
What humanity needs is information!
**[20:20] ---**
If we just accept things as they
are, we'll never move forward!
**[20:25] ---**
Willy, you don't understand
what the Anima are.
**[20:39] ---**
Um, what did you mean back there?
**[20:43] ---**
About how he didn't understand
what the Anima are.
**[20:46] ---**
Do you think it's possible to
analyze a living creature's brain?
**[20:50] ---**
To perfectly explain every
single action it takes?
**[20:54] ---**
I don't think so.
**[20:57] ---**
You're right.
**[20:58] ---**
The Xi's core is the same way.
**[21:00] ---**
The minute you see them as computers,
**[21:02] ---**
you cease to be able to understand
what they really are.
**[21:06] ---**
That idiot Shankle sees
Anima as simple programs.
**[21:10] ---**
That's why he jumps to conclusions.
**[21:12] ---**
He thinks that if we could read their source
code, we could reveal their hidden mysteries.
**[21:17] ---**
Do these things look that simple to you?
**[21:20] ---**
They have minds. They think.
**[21:23] ---**
Which means they're not programs.
**[21:25] ---**
We need to educate and speak to
them and make them our allies.
**[21:29] ---**
We need to be persistent,
and spend the time it takes.
**[21:33] ---**
The Anima and Xi are different, right?
**[21:36] ---**
Of course!
**[21:37] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[21:49] ---**
*You're you... right?*
**[23:27] ---**
Next time on *Girly Air Force*...

**[00:13] ---**
Kei,
**[00:16] ---**
I told you not to come here.
**[00:19] ---**
Gripen...
**[00:22] ---**
I told you that you wouldn't
be able to go back.
**[00:25] ---**
What can I do?
**[00:26] ---**
I can't choose my dreams.
**[00:28] ---**
Tell me...
**[00:31] ---**
In that game, why did you make
the humans leave the cities?
**[00:34] ---**
The optimal answer.
**[00:36] ---**
The point where the goals of the Xi and
the win conditions of the game overlap.
**[00:43] ---**
Their goal is to wipe us out, right?
**[00:47] ---**
No.
**[00:48] ---**
Their driving principal is not
the elimination of humanity.
**[00:53] ---**
What are you talking about, Gripen?
**[00:56] ---**
A discrepancy between means and ends.
**[00:59] ---**
The obstacle to the ends was,
by chance, humanity.
**[01:03] ---**
Wait... What do you mean?
**[01:05] ---**
Essentially...
**[01:09] ---**
What?
**[01:10] ---**
I can't hear you...
**[01:16] ---**
Gripen?
**[01:25] ---**
Kei...
**[01:26] ---**
You will have to choose.
**[01:29] ---**
Choose... Choose what?
**[01:32] ---**
I will ensure you survive until
all the pieces are in place.
**[01:36] ---**
That is my task.
**[01:40] ---**
No matter how many times,
how many dozens of times,
**[01:44] ---**
how many hundreds of times...

***SIGN*** from: Yashirodoori (SDF)
sub.: Shanghai Landing Operation and US Military...
The mission date has been decided.
Be here at 9:00 AM tomorrow. More details will be
shared when you arrive.
**[04:15] ---**
Should I just go straight to the base?
**[04:20] ---**
Minghua, I need to talk to you
about something important.
**[04:24] ---**
I'm leaving tomorrow.
**[04:26] ---**
Where are you going?
**[04:28] ---**
I'm going... to take back Shanghai!
**[04:32] ---**
Okay, take care!
**[04:34] ---**
Welp, I'm just going to ride in a
fighter jet and shoot down all the Xi!
**[04:38] ---**
Bring me back some Hangzhou tea!
**[04:40] ---**
Sure thing!
**[04:43] ---**
Yeah, that's not happening.
**[04:45] ---**
I guess I'll run some more.
**[05:07] ---**
Wait!
**[05:20] ---**
That's a terrible way to treat a lady.
**[05:24] ---**
Phantom!
**[05:25] ---**
Sheesh... What if I broke a nail?
**[05:29] ---**
Look at my coat. It's a mess.
**[05:31] ---**
No, wait... You just tried to kill me!
**[05:34] ---**
I did not. How rude.
**[05:37] ---**
I simply hoped you'd be injured badly enough
**[05:40] ---**
that you couldn't participate
in the Shanghai operation.
**[05:45] ---**
Without you, Gripen will be
unable to go, of course.
**[05:50] ---**
Why do you want fewer people on your side?
**[05:53] ---**
I believe this operation is sure to fail.
**[05:58] ---**
Furthermore, I believe it was
intended to fail from the start.
**[06:03] ---**
From the start?
**[06:05] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[06:07] ---**
They've got a whole fleet
participating in this!
**[06:09] ---**
And there are four Anima,
between the US and Japan.
**[06:12] ---**
I can't believe they intend
to lose them all.
**[06:15] ---**
They have those fakes to
take our place, don't they?
**[06:19] ---**
This operation will give them real combat
data to feed back into the drone's systems,
**[06:22] ---**
which can then be mass produced.
**[06:25] ---**
The Brawlers...
**[06:27] ---**
Unmanned units based on Anima combat data.
**[06:31] ---**
They've been tested enough, and now all
that's missing is real combat data.
**[06:36] ---**
And they're going to sacrifice us to get it?
**[06:39] ---**
The US military doesn't like the fact
that Japan has more Anima than it does.
**[06:44] ---**
So they intend to use this opportunity
to reduce the number of Japan's Anima,
**[06:47] ---**
and maintain the power balance.
**[06:49] ---**
That's how their country thinks.
**[06:53] ---**
Does Yashirodoori-san...
**[06:56] ---**
I'm sure he's aware on some level.
**[06:59] ---**
But either way...
**[07:01] ---**
With no one to protect us,
we'll have to protect ourselves.
**[07:06] ---**
And I'll do whatever it takes.
**[07:10] ---**
I see...
**[07:12] ---**
But does that really mean pushing
me in front of a truck?
**[07:14] ---**
If you'd just told me first...
**[07:17] ---**
You would've happily jumped out in the road?
**[07:24] ---**
You have a reason to risk your life.
**[07:27] ---**
You hate the Xi for killing your mother.
**[07:30] ---**
You'll accept a certain
degree of risk, won't you?
**[07:35] ---**
Well, I'll let you make the choice.
**[07:39] ---**
I believe in you, Kei-san.
**[07:43] ---**
I'm sure you'll make the smart decision.
**[07:53] ---**
Minghua...
**[07:55] ---**
I know it's too late for this,
but I'm really sorry.
**[07:58] ---**
I know I've been really terrible to you.
**[08:02] ---**
I can understand why you
wouldn't want to talk to me.
**[08:05] ---**
But there's something I need to tell you.
**[08:09] ---**
You're...
**[08:12] ---**
the most important person in the world to me.
**[08:16] ---**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[08:19] ---**
Th-The most important person in...
**[08:22] ---**
the world?
**[08:25] ---**
Are you serious?
**[08:29] ---**
What? Of course I am.
**[08:32] ---**
I've known you longer than
anybody else in my life.
**[08:34] ---**
You've done so much for me
ever since I was little.
**[08:39] ---**
I owe you more than I owe
anybody in the world.
**[08:43] ---**
And?
**[08:44] ---**
And?
**[08:45] ---**
Is that all?
**[08:48] ---**
I'm just saying, I'm really grateful to you!
**[08:51] ---**
Kei...
**[08:53] ---**
One slap!
**[08:58] ---**
Why?
**[08:59] ---**
So why did you come tell me this?
**[09:03] ---**
I've been thinking so much about
what I could do to repay you.
**[09:10] ---**
You're so nice.
**[09:12] ---**
You helped me without expecting
anything in return.
**[09:15] ---**
But that just wouldn't be right.
**[09:18] ---**
I have to be strong, too.
**[09:21] ---**
Strong enough to protect you!
**[09:25] ---**
And why are you telling me this now?
**[09:28] ---**
Um... I'm going to be sleeping over
at my job tomorrow again, so...
**[09:33] ---**
You're lying, aren't you?
**[09:34] ---**
None of this makes sense.
**[09:36] ---**
Night shifts at work, people from
the base coming to pick you up...
**[09:40] ---**
But you didn't seem like
you were going to tell me.
**[09:44] ---**
Minghua...
**[09:46] ---**
Is it dangerous?
**[09:49] ---**
Something to do with everyone's future?
**[09:53] ---**
Something that will help other people?
**[09:57] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:59] ---**
And I can't help you?
**[10:05] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[10:10] ---**
I see!
**[10:12] ---**
I was going to try and carry
all your burdens for you.
**[10:16] ---**
I'm not sure where things changed.
**[10:18] ---**
Nothing's changed.
**[10:20] ---**
You're strong, and kind,
and I can respect you.
**[10:23] ---**
But right now, there's something only I can do.
**[10:26] ---**
Okay!
**[10:28] ---**
I'll be waiting, then,
**[10:30] ---**
for you to finish your job and come home!
**[10:34] ---**
Màn zou!
**[10:36] ---**
Wo zou le.
**[10:41] ---**
Hey, when do we get there?
***SIGN*** August 10th, 6:00 AM
**[10:44] ---**
I'm bored!
**[10:46] ---**
Let's do something fun till we get there!
**[10:46] ---**
She's going nuts...
**[10:48] ---**
Like karaoke or something!
**[10:48] ---**
And she's sleeping.
**[10:49] Background**
We don't have a mic!
**[10:51] ---**
It appears that you ignored my warning.
**[10:54] ---**
You think my advice isn't worth heeding?
**[10:58] ---**
No, I just decided to accept a necessary risk
**[11:01] ---**
for what I want to accomplish.
**[11:04] ---**
Did you know that the survival
rate for Roman gladiators was 5%?
**[11:10] ---**
But still they fought, dreaming of the
day they could escape from slavery.
**[11:16] ---**
I hope that you're not following the
same line of thought that they did.
**[11:21] ---**
Then why are you here?
**[11:24] ---**
You don't fight battles
you can't win, right?
**[11:26] ---**
I have far more experience
than the rest of you.
**[11:30] ---**
You seem to have forgotten,
but Gripen and I beat you.
**[11:34] ---**
Whatever.
**[11:35] ---**
Hey, we can see it from here!
**[11:41] ---**
Wow!
**[11:43] ---**
The ship you see there will be
our home for this operation.
**[11:46] ---**
The world's largest warship,
**[11:48] ---**
the CVN-78, a.k.a. the USS *Gerald R. Ford*!
**[11:55] ---**
Wow, it's so big! It's huge!
**[11:59] ---**
Look at that!
**[12:02] ---**
Oh, there you are!
**[12:04] ---**
The two-man cell, and...
**[12:06] ---**
Two more Anima!
**[12:08] ---**
Wow!
**[12:13] ---**
Hello! I'm Rhino!
**[12:15] ---**
Good to see you.
**[12:17] ---**
Yeah, good to see you again.
**[12:20] ---**
Um...
**[12:21] ---**
This is Eagle.
**[12:22] ---**
And this Phantom.
**[12:24] ---**
Gripen you've already met.
**[12:27] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[12:30] ---**
I've heard you're a terribly loud fighter,
and I guess what I heard was right.
**[12:36] ---**
When they switched the engine for the model E,
**[12:38] ---**
they really forced up the exhaust velocity.
**[12:41] ---**
I'm glad to know that a
veteran like you knows me.
**[12:44] ---**
And you must be Eagle!
**[12:46] ---**
I'm the strongest one here!
**[12:49] ---**
I know!
**[12:50] ---**
The F-15's kill ratio is 117 to 0, right?
**[12:54] ---**
You really are the ultimate fighter!
**[12:57] ---**
I respect you so much!
**[12:59] ---**
Y-Yeah?
**[13:02] ---**
She's pretty sociable.
**[13:05] ---**
*Humans are weird, huh?*
**[13:08] (Flashback) ---**
We look like humans.
Will the same thing ever happen to us?
**[13:13] (Flashback) ---**
Will we make groups,
**[13:14] (Flashback) ---**
draw distinctions between
friends and outsiders,
**[13:16] (Flashback) ---**
and look for things to fight each other over?
**[13:20] ---**
I don't think she's as simple
a character as she seems.
**[13:25] ---**
I think you know more about Anima than I do.
**[13:29] ---**
I just don't let my guard down, that's all.
**[13:33] ---**
Come inside. I'll explain what we do now.
**[13:36] ---**
Willy's waiting.
**[13:40] ---**
Thanks for coming.
**[13:42] ---**
I wanted to talk to you before
the military folks got here.
**[13:46] ---**
We're a special unit to begin with.
**[13:49] ---**
First, I'll explain the operation.
**[13:53] ---**
Our goal is to secure a
beachhead around Shanghai,
**[13:58] ---**
which we can use as a base to launch
an invasion of the continent.
**[14:01] ---**
The first step toward this is
establishing air superiority.
**[14:03] ---**
Then we'll launch a bombardment
of cruise missiles from the fleet,
**[14:07] ---**
followed by an amphibious landing.
**[14:09] ---**
The operation will proceed
in these three stages.
**[14:12] ---**
We're taking off from a carrier?
**[14:15] ---**
You're just being thrown out
of a catapult, that's all.
**[14:18] ---**
If you're that proud of beating me,
then don't let something like this scare you.
**[14:23] ---**
Talk about holding a grudge.
**[14:25] ---**
The air superiority operation
will be done with three units.
**[14:29] ---**
The first will be standard
carrier-based crafts.
**[14:31] ---**
Their job is to force the
Xi to divert their forces.
**[14:34] ---**
Group 2 is the brawlers.
**[14:36] ---**
They will engage the enemy in the primary
attack area and reduce their numbers.
**[14:39] ---**
And the last group is you.
**[14:42] ---**
Your job is to achieve air superiority.
**[14:44] ---**
So we stay until the very end?
**[14:46] ---**
No, once you've used up all your weapons,
you'll return to Naha.
**[14:51] ---**
The mission will be complete then.
**[14:55] ---**
But won't it be dangerous if four Anima
leave the battlespace at once?
**[14:59] ---**
We're going to be fighting
more Xi than ever, right?
**[15:03] ---**
I understand your concern.
**[15:04] ---**
But don't worry.
**[15:06] ---**
We have our reasons for this.
**[15:09] ---**
I'll make it simple: there's no
need to wipe out every last Xi.
**[15:14] ---**
According to our analysis,
**[15:16] ---**
when the Xi lose a certain amount of
planes in a certain amount of time,
**[15:20] ---**
they'll retreat.
**[15:23] ---**
We don't know why, but that's
how their algorithm works.
**[15:27] ---**
We'll be taking advantage of that here.
**[15:28] ---**
Immediately after making contact with the Xi,
we'll bring every unit we have into battle,
**[15:33] ---**
reaching that number as quickly as possible
and forcing the retreat algorithm to activate.
**[15:38] ---**
You're saying that if we start by dealing
a huge blow, the enemy will retreat?
**[15:42] ---**
Theoretically.
**[15:44] ---**
That's the plan.
**[15:46] ---**
Questions?
**[15:49] ---**
Does America really intend to win?
**[15:55] ---**
I can't speak for the military,
**[15:57] ---**
but I do not intend to lose.
**[15:59] ---**
I want to know more about the Xi.
**[16:01] ---**
I want to get close to them, to touch them,
to inspect them in every way I can,
**[16:06] ---**
until I learn their deepest secrets!
**[16:11] ---**
You can tell he was the
director's classmate.
**[16:14] ---**
When you're too smart,
it screws up your personality.
**[16:18] ---**
Is that what they call a
mad scientist, you think?
**[16:22] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[16:27] ---**
Gripen?
**[16:28] ---**
What's wrong?
**[16:29] ---**
I'm fine.
**[16:30] ---**
Just sleepy.
**[16:33] ---**
I feel like I'm dreaming, somehow.
**[16:36] ---**
Dreaming?
**[16:37] ---**
We're here!
***SIGN*** Welcome
***SIGN*** Welcome to the CVN-78, Independent Mixed Test Unit
***SIGN*** Welcome to the CVN-78, Independent Mixed Test Unit
**[16:47] ---**
Welcome!
**[16:56] ---**
I'll introduce you, everybody!
**[16:58] ---**
This is the captain!
**[17:00] ---**
Seriously?
**[17:02] ---**
At ease.
**[17:04] ---**
We're proud to get a chance to go
on a mission with Japan's Anima.
**[17:10] ---**
Please, enjoy the party.
**[17:25] ---**
Having fun?
**[17:34] ---**
Bring me more awamori!
**[17:36] ---**
Don't drink too much!
**[17:38] ---**
Humans are illogical.
**[17:40] ---**
See how differently the organization
and its members view things?
**[17:44] ---**
Is that why you can't be friends with us?
**[17:46] ---**
It's not good to get too attached, is it?
**[17:49] ---**
If things go south, we'll have to
abandon them in order to survive.
**[17:55] ---**
Don't you get tired of being that way?
**[17:58] ---**
Everyone else just takes things too easy.
**[18:00] ---**
Whatcha doin'?
**[18:05] ---**
You're two of the party's stars.
You can't leave.
**[18:08] ---**
I put a lot of effort into planning this.
**[18:10] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[18:11] ---**
Just kidding.
**[18:13] ---**
It's fine if you want to take a break.
**[18:15] ---**
We don't want you getting
sick before the operation.
**[18:19] ---**
The veteran here probably needs to take
extra-good care of her health, especially.
**[18:23] ---**
Is that a way of telling an
old lady she's not welcome?
**[18:27] ---**
I was just thinking that I may have aimed
the party too much at a younger crowd.
**[18:30] ---**
I should've taken into consideration that
the elderly would be in attendance.
**[18:38] ---**
Next!
**[18:39] ---**
She's cute.
**[18:44] ---**
Hey, Narutani Kei.
**[18:46] ---**
I know you're all cautious around me.
**[18:49] ---**
But I wish that times like
these could continue forever.
**[18:55] ---**
I want you to believe that.
**[18:58] ---**
Don't you think it would be wonderful if we
could have another party like this in Shanghai?
**[19:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:06] ---**
Okay, enjoy the party!
**[19:10] ---**
But will I be there when it happens?
**[19:15] ---**
Why are Gripen and I in the same room?
**[19:19] ---**
You and I are partners.
**[19:21] ---**
Together, we're a single tactical unit.
**[19:23] ---**
It's natural for us to be in the same room.
**[19:27] ---**
Normally, you'd put a man and
a woman in different rooms, right?
**[19:36] ---**
W-Wait!
**[19:38] ---**
Why are you taking off your clothes?
**[19:40] ---**
I'm changing into my sweats.
**[19:44] ---**
Listen! Do it on your bed,
and close the curtains first!
**[19:48] ---**
Why?
**[19:48] ---**
Because if you don't, I'll cause
problems for the mission!
**[19:53] ---**
I don't understand, but if you say so.
**[19:57] ---**
Will this do?
**[19:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:04] ---**
Hey, how are you feeling now?
**[20:06] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[20:08] ---**
Are you all right, Kei?
**[20:10] ---**
Me?
**[20:11] ---**
The atmosphere around you seemed
tense even at the party.
**[20:14] ---**
It's strange.
**[20:17] ---**
What do you mean, the atmosphere around me?
**[20:29] ---**
Are you sure you're not thinking it
would be okay if you were shot down?
**[20:32] ---**
No way.
**[20:34] ---**
I understand how strongly you feel.
**[20:36] ---**
But...
**[20:38] ---**
If you intend to sacrifice
your life for the mission,
**[20:42] ---**
I'll go alone.
**[20:45] ---**
I...
**[20:48] ---**
No, you're right.
**[20:50] ---**
I'll do whatever it takes
to achieve my goal.
**[20:52] ---**
I don't care if I die doing it.
**[20:55] ---**
That's how I feel.
**[20:59] ---**
I don't care about how you feel,
**[21:03] ---**
even though the plane isn't mine alone.
**[21:05] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[21:06] ---**
No...
**[21:08] ---**
I'm not that attached to my own life.
**[21:11] ---**
And I'm not going to tell you
that what you want is wrong.
**[21:14] ---**
I just want you to feel like
you want to come home alive.
**[21:18] ---**
To complete the mission
successfully and safely.
**[21:25] ---**
I want to hear that from you.
**[21:27] ---**
Gripen...
**[21:33] ---**
I am your wings.
**[21:35] ---**
Your lance.
**[21:37] ---**
Give the word, and I will go
anywhere to defeat your enemies.
**[21:50] ---**
Let's go home alive together, Gripen!

***SIGN*** East China Sea
**[00:17] ---**
Look at all these ships.
**[00:18] ---**
They weren't lying when they said
this was a full-scale operation.
**[00:22] ---**
"Victory through overwhelming
firepower" is America's motto.
**[00:26] ---**
But depending on how this goes,
**[00:29] ---**
my first priority is your survival,
**[00:31] ---**
even if it means taking over your Daughter.
**[00:36] ---**
I know.
**[00:38] ---**
I won't do anything reckless.
**[00:41] ---**
Did something happen with Gripen?
**[00:43] ---**
"Something"?
**[00:45] ---**
Where did that come from?
**[00:47] ---**
My bugs picked up a rather intimate
conversation between you two last night.
**[00:52] ---**
I-It wasn't like that...
**[00:54] ---**
Wait, "bugs"?
**[00:56] ---**
That was a joke.
**[01:02] ---**
Why are you always so
excited about everything?
**[01:05] ---**
'Cause I finally get to fly!
**[01:08] ---**
We're fighter jets! If we don't fly
and fight, there's no reason to exist!
**[01:14] ---**
Kei...
**[01:16] ---**
It's time to get ready.
**[01:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:57] ---**

*Taxi to Alpha Charlie 1.*
**[03:17] ---**
*I hook the nose gear into catapult shaft.*
**[03:21] ---**
* Then test the flaps and remove*
* the engine output limiter.*
**[03:24] ---**
* After that, I don't touch*
* the instruments at all.*
**[03:27] ---**
* I don't touch the stick again until I'm away*
* from the carrier and heading into the sky.*
**[03:46] ---**
Kei, pull up!
**[03:53] ---**
Checking warning signals.
**[03:56] ---**
Normal.
**[03:58] ---**
You okay?
**[03:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:00] ---**
*Barbie 01, can you hear me?*
**[04:03] ---**
Glad to see you made it off the ground.
**[04:05] ---**
Rhino?
**[04:06] ---**
Yes!
**[04:07] ---**
It's the first time you're
seeing me like this, huh?
**[04:09] ---**
Let's do good out there today!
**[04:10] ---**
Group 1 just made contact with
the enemy's forward units.
**[04:14] ---**
They're falling back and leading
them to the designated point.
**[04:18] ---**
*Narutani Kei, have you memorized the plan?*
**[04:22] ---**
Um...
**[04:25] ---**
Group 1 is composed of normal fighter jets.
**[04:29] ---**
They'll split up the Xi, and then the
Brawlers in Group 2 will pursue.
**[04:32] ---**
We're in Group 3. We'll expand
the hole the Brawlers open,
**[04:36] ---**
and break through enemy
lines to secure air superiority.
**[04:38] ---**
*Perfect! You've got it!*
**[04:41] ---**
*Now we just need to do it.*
**[04:44] ---**
She makes it sound so easy.
**[04:48] ---**
Let's form up.
**[04:50] ---**
Follow me.
**[05:02] ---**
Fire support from the fleet is incoming.
**[05:05] ---**
Three...
**[05:06] ---**
Two...
**[05:07] ---**
One!
**[05:08] ---**
Impact!
**[05:12] ---**
Wow...
**[05:13] ---**
*Be careful. That didn't get a lot of them.*
**[05:18] ---**
*EPCM level rising.*
**[05:20] ---**
*The enemy is becoming more active.*
**[05:22] ---**
*They're pursuing Group 1.*
**[05:31] ---**
They're not sending in the Brawlers yet?
**[05:34] ---**
*The Xi haven't been fully split apart.*
**[05:36] ---**
* If we send them in now,*
* they'll be attacked from both sides.*
**[05:39] ---**
But...
**[06:11] ---**
They're good.
**[06:12] ---**
*Now it's our turn.*
**[06:24] ---**
Target lock on!
**[06:26] ---**
Fox 2!
**[06:31] ---**
Kill. Kill.
**[06:36] ---**
Splash!
**[06:55] ---**
Crap!
**[06:56] ---**
Kei, stay in formation.
**[06:59] ---**
They'll surround you.
**[07:00] ---**
I know!
**[07:01] ---**
But... can we really break through like this?
**[07:10] ---**
Vector zero one five!
**[07:11] ---**
The Brawlers found an opening!
**[07:13] ---**
All Barbie fighters, back them up!
**[07:23] ---**
We're through.
**[07:25] ---**
*We made it through the enemy formation.*
**[07:26] ---**
*And we're still alive.*
**[07:30] ---**
We were supposed to be first!
**[07:33] ---**
Maintaining air superiority is their job.
**[07:35] ---**
Our job was just to make an opening, right?
**[07:40] ---**
There's no time for talking.
**[07:43] ---**
The enemy is still out there.
**[07:45] ---**
* We need to turn around*
* and support our allies.*
**[07:50] ---**
New enemies to our front.
**[07:52] ---**
Distance: 30.
**[07:54] ---**
Approaching us from moderate altitude.
**[07:56] ---**
Two of them.
**[07:57] ---**
Heavy bombers?
**[07:59] ---**
Those are my prey!
**[08:01] ---**
Wait!
**[08:02] ---**
Those things are too slow to stop us!
**[08:11] ---**
Eagle, break!
**[08:15] ---**
*Wh-What are those?*
**[08:17] ---**
Parasite fighters...
**[08:18] ---**
Parasites?
**[08:20] ---**
* They load up smaller fighters on a*
* larger jet and launch them in mid-air.*
**[08:24] ---**
*You can think of them as air-based carriers.*
**[08:26] ---**
Of all the times and places
to send those in...
**[08:34] ---**
We're going to attack them!
**[08:35] ---**
The Brawlers can't stop them all.
**[08:37] ---**
Okay.
**[08:38] ---**
*Roger!*
**[08:38] ---**
*I'll go cover the manned fighters!*
**[08:51] ---**
Gripen, what's wrong?
**[08:54] ---**
EPCM... at incredible intensity.
**[08:57] ---**
And a really weird pattern...
**[08:59] ---**
Weird?
**[09:00] ---**
Are you okay?
**[09:01] ---**
I'm fine.
**[09:02] ---**
I used my shields to cut
off the signal immediately.
**[09:05] ---**
But it made me sick.
**[09:22] ---**
What's going on?
**[09:27] ---**
They... the Xi are controlling the Brawlers.
**[09:31] ---**
The Brawlers' algorithms use the
**[09:34] ---**
surrounding EPCM patterns
to pick their next move.
**[09:37] ---**
Which means that if you
can adjust those patterns,
**[09:41] ---**
you can make them do whatever you want.
**[09:44] ---**
*Misidentification...*
**[09:45] ---**
They can make enemies look like allies,
and allies look like enemies.
**[09:50] ---**
Is that it?
**[09:52] ---**
*The mission is a failure.*
**[09:54] ---**
*Let's retreat.*
**[09:55] ---**
* Without the Brawlers' support,*
* continuing the mission is impossible.*
**[09:58] ---**
No, but...
**[10:00] ---**
There's no time to waste here!
**[10:01] ---**
They'll kill us all!
**[10:11] ---**
Kei, enemies above us.
**[10:13] ---**
From 9 o'clock as well.
**[10:24] ---**
I can't get away.
**[10:25] ---**
Above us, below, and on both sides...
**[10:27] ---**
The enemy is everywhere!
**[10:30] ---**
I can't... I can't die here!
**[10:33] ---**
*Narutani Kei!*
**[10:38] ---**
This way! We're breaking through!
**[10:40] ---**
Rhino!
**[11:04] ---**
We're alive.
**[11:08] ---**
Gripen, you okay?
**[11:09] ---**
I took a lot of damage, but I'm okay.
**[11:12] ---**
But my fuel...
**[11:14] ---**
Can we make it to the carrier?
**[11:16] ---**
It'll be tough.
**[11:17] ---**
We ended up a long way from the fleet.
**[11:19] ---**
*Me too. I'm getting fuel warnings.*
**[11:22] ---**
We need to refuel fast.
**[11:24] ---**
Can we call a mid-air refueling tanker?
**[11:26] ---**
Nope. Can't get through on the radio.
**[11:29] ---**
The EPCM's too bad.
**[11:31] ---**
Then we can head for a
base in Taiwan or Korea...
**[11:33] ---**
No way.
**[11:35] ---**
They're even father.
**[11:37] ---**
What about a Chinese airport?
**[11:42] ---**
Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
**[11:45] ---**
It's close, but...
**[11:47] ---**
That's enemy territory.
**[11:48] ---**
* We don't have a lot of other*
* choices, though, do we?*
**[11:51] ---**
*Let's go see what we find.*
**[11:53] ---**
Okay.
**[11:55] ---**
Gripen, watch the surrounding area carefully.
**[11:57] ---**
Roger.
**[12:01] ---**
I never thought this is how I'd head home.
**[12:05] ---**
*Mayday, mayday, mayday...*
**[12:08] ---**
Pudong Tower, Barbie 01.
**[12:10] ---**
This is Japan Air Self Defense Force,
**[12:13] ---**
low fuel, forced landing, two ships.
**[12:15] ---**
Not a word from them...
**[12:18] ---**
The place seems in good shape, but...
**[12:23] ---**
*I guess we head for the hangars, huh?*
**[12:26] ---**
*The weather seems bad.*
**[12:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:34] ---**
I'm glad you two are safe.
**[12:37] ---**
Sorry for dragging you into this.
**[12:40] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[12:41] ---**
My escape was cut off, too.
**[12:45] ---**
But hmm...
**[12:47] ---**
There's nothing here. No equipment or fuel.
**[12:50] ---**
Did they put it all in one place
somewhere to avoid Xi attacks?
**[12:54] ---**
Like in a shelter or something?
**[12:55] ---**
Want to take a look?
**[12:57] ---**
We can't really fly without
repairs and fuel, anyway.
**[13:00] ---**
Sounds good!
**[13:01] ---**
Let's go!
**[13:05] ---**
Gripen?
**[13:08] ---**
What's wrong?
**[13:09] ---**
Are you not feeling well?
**[13:13] ---**
Kei...
**[13:14] ---**
Are you okay?
**[13:16] ---**
I'm fine. Nothing's wrong at all.
**[13:39] ---**
Kei...
**[13:41] ---**
Is this the country you lived in?
**[13:44] ---**
The place you wanted to go home to?
**[13:47] ---**
No...
**[13:49] ---**
I don't know.
**[13:50] ---**
It used to be a lot louder, with a
lot more stuff jammed everywhere.
**[13:55] ---**
It wasn't so quiet, lonely, and white.
**[14:01] ---**
White...
**[14:16] ---**
Kei...
**[14:18] ---**
I'm thirsty.
**[14:20] ---**
Want to take a break?
**[14:22] ---**
I bet there's some places to eat over there!
**[14:25] ---**
The passenger terminal?
**[14:27] ---**
We could go back to the
Daughters and eat rations,
**[14:30] ---**
but we need to look around anyway, right?
**[14:32] ---**
Yeah. Let's go.
**[15:00] ---**
The power's still on.
**[15:02] ---**
The air conditioning, too.
**[15:04] ---**
Is there somebody here after all, then?
**[15:07] ---**
Are they hiding somewhere?
**[15:13] ---**
It's so quiet.
**[15:15] ---**
This is a nice place.
**[15:18] ---**
There's electricity, water, and food, too.
**[15:20] ---**
It's clean, and there's so much space.
**[15:22] ---**
You don't have to worry about the rain.
**[15:25] ---**
It feels like we could live here forever.
**[15:29] ---**
No. Everybody is still fighting.
**[15:31] ---**
We need to refuel and head back quickly.
**[15:34] ---**
I was just kidding.
**[15:37] ---**
Let's split up to search.
**[15:40] ---**
This place is in such great
shape that we should be able
**[15:42] ---**
to find either supplies or a person quickly.
**[15:45] ---**
You couldn't keep this place in this shape
**[15:47] ---**
unless somebody was
maintaining it, after all.
**[16:20] ---**
The landing lights don't turn on, huh?
**[16:23] ---**
We're stuck here tonight, I guess.
**[16:25] ---**
You'd think, but I actually
found a place to stay!
**[16:29] ---**
Directly linked to the terminal,
and it comes with a bath and toilet!
**[16:33] ---**
Just one room?
**[16:35] ---**
I don't want to interrupt your fun, but yeah.
**[16:39] ---**
I think we need somebody to keep watch.
**[16:42] ---**
Until we know who's maintaining this place.
**[16:46] ---**
Got it. Let's keep watch
in a three-person shift.
**[16:49] ---**
Gripen, is that okay?
**[16:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:53] ---**
Okay, I'll take you to your hotel!
**[17:00] ---**
How'd the battle go, I wonder?
**[17:03] ---**
Hard to say.
**[17:04] ---**
It's been a while, so it must've
reached some kind of conclusion.
**[17:10] ---**
Conclusion...
**[17:11] ---**
The EPCM in this area is still active.
**[17:14] ---**
If the landing force was
going ahead as planned,
**[17:17] ---**
some of them should've been here by now.
**[17:21] ---**
Which means...
**[17:24] ---**
Well, we can think about that stuff tomorrow.
**[17:27] ---**
We're here.
**[17:41] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:44] ---**
Nothing.
**[17:47] ---**
Room 405?
**[17:48] ---**
I took it from my birthday.
**[17:51] ---**
Birthday?
**[17:52] ---**
It's actually April 5th of this year.
**[17:55] ---**
This year?
**[17:56] ---**
Which means you're not even...
**[17:58] ---**
I'm zero years old!
**[18:00] ---**
If you try anything with me,
that's a serious crime.
**[18:03] ---**
I'm not going to!
**[18:06] ---**
I'm done. Night.
**[18:09] ---**
Hey, at least take a shower.
**[18:13] ---**
You get some sleep, too.
**[18:15] ---**
Your turn at watch is coming soon.
**[18:18] ---**
Okay.
**[18:36] ---**
What?
**[18:37] ---**
Nothing.
**[18:39] ---**
Can you see something?
**[18:42] ---**
I like the darkness of night, you know.
**[18:45] ---**
It's like everything—the people, the towns,
even me—is going to melt into it.
**[18:50] ---**
Melt?
**[18:51] ---**
All the outlines disappear.
All the boundaries disappear.
**[18:56] ---**
Everybody gets mixed together,
inside and out.
**[19:00] ---**
When I was first born,
somebody took me camping.
**[19:06] ---**
I can still remember the
night sky I saw then.
**[19:16] ---**
It felt like I was a part of it.
Or that I was sinking into it.
**[19:21] ---**
Like my body was floating in
the center of the universe.
**[19:25] ---**
I was a part of the world. Not alone.
**[19:30] ---**
It felt like I couldn't
survive as an individual.
**[19:36] ---**
Sorry. I said too much.
**[19:39] ---**
You should get some sleep.
**[19:41] ---**
No, um...
**[19:45] ---**
Goodnight, Rhino.
**[19:47] ---**
Yeah, goodnight.
**[20:12] ---**
Huh?
**[20:14] ---**
Rhino?
**[20:20] ---**
*I'm off to look for fuel.*
**[20:22] ---**
*If I need you, I'll come get you.*
**[20:24] ---**
*Take your time.*
**[20:25] ---**
We were supposed to take shifts. That girl...
**[20:32] ---**
Hey, Gripen, wake up.
**[20:34] ---**
It's morning.
**[20:40] ---**
Not feeling well?
**[20:42] ---**
My self-examination program
says everything's normal.
**[20:45] ---**
But I feel so out of it.
**[20:48] ---**
Especially since I came to the airport.
**[20:50] ---**
We should have Yashirodoori-san
take a look at you ASAP.
**[20:54] ---**
I'll go take a look outside.
**[20:58] ---**
You get some rest.
**[21:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[21:11] ---**
What is that? I heard it yesterday, too.
**[21:28] ---**
Am I imagining it?
**[21:30] ---**
Or is it just a ringing in my ears?
**[23:27] ---**
Next time on *Girly Air Force*...
**[23:30] ---**

**[00:05] ---**
What is that? I heard it yesterday, too.
**[00:22] ---**
Am I imagining it?
**[00:42] ---**
Rh-Rhino?
**[00:44] ---**
What's got you so spooked?
**[00:47] ---**
You're more of a wuss than I thought!
**[00:50] ---**
I heard this weird sound.
**[00:52] ---**
Like falling sand...
**[00:54] ---**
A weird sound?
**[00:55] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[00:57] ---**
Anyway, I found fuel!
**[01:00] ---**
Really?
**[01:01] ---**
Yup! In that hangar.
**[01:04] ---**
I've got the fuel truck
pulled right up alongside.
**[01:07] ---**
Hey!
**[01:11] ---**
Wait!
***SIGN*** The Sky I Fly with You
**[01:44] ---**
Hey, Rhino, we searched pretty
thoroughly yesterday, right?
**[01:49] ---**
Where did you find this
fuel and these tools?
**[01:52] ---**
Where?
**[01:54] ---**
Where... Where, huh?
**[01:56] ---**
Well, stuff like this just works out.
**[01:59] ---**
As long as you focus your mind on it...
**[02:01] ---**
What?
**[02:03] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[02:05] ---**
"Ask, and it shall be given to you."
**[02:11] ---**
What's important is for your
heart to really want it.
**[02:15] ---**
Time, place... Those things don't matter.
**[02:20] ---**
The bullet holes and damage...
**[02:22] ---**
You repaired them?
**[02:24] ---**
But how?
**[02:26] ---**
This place is really so relaxing.
**[02:29] ---**
Quiet, clean, and no impurities at all.
**[02:33] ---**
It makes me wonder why the
human world is so noisy.
**[02:39] ---**
You sound like you'd be
happier without humanity.
**[02:44] ---**
The Anima are lucky, huh?
**[02:46] ---**
They have a nice, simple goal: combat.
**[02:49] ---**
Victory is everything.
**[02:51] ---**
Flying is what brings them joy.
**[02:53] ---**
In that sense, they're the same.
**[02:56] ---**
They're simply driving forward
to achieve their goal.
**[03:00] ---**
What are you...
**[03:03] ---**
There's only one difference
between the Anima and the Xi.
**[03:06] ---**
One wants to protect humanity.
**[03:07] ---**
One wants to destroy it.
**[03:10] ---**
It doesn't look like they actually
want to destroy humanity.
**[03:14] ---**
Wow, you're interesting!
**[03:17] ---**
It's like you're not human!
**[03:20] ---**
So, how about we live here?
**[03:22] ---**
You, me, and Gripen!
**[03:25] ---**
What about the mission?
**[03:27] ---**
The USAF and JSDF think we were shot down.
**[03:32] ---**
So let's just stay here!
**[03:34] ---**
Be free! Nobody needs to tie us down.
**[03:39] ---**
Are you truly Rhino?
**[03:42] ---**
"Truly"?
**[03:43] ---**
What's "truth," I wonder?
**[03:46] ---**
Who am I?
**[03:48] ---**
A piece of a shot-down Xi? A US fighter jet?
**[03:52] ---**
Or a program Willy made?
**[03:58] ---**
What is this?
**[04:03] ---**
I'm going to get Gripen.
**[04:05] ---**
Stay here.
**[04:07] ---**
Rhino!
**[04:09] ---**
I feel great right now.
**[04:13] ---**
Once you learn to just get over it,
you feel a lot better.
**[04:16] ---**
That'll be true for you and Gripen, too.
**[04:19] ---**
Rhino...
**[04:22] ---**
If you shoot at me here,
you might hit the fuel.
**[04:26] ---**
Do you plan to commit
suicide with your Daughter?
**[04:28] ---**
Don't make me shoot, then.
**[04:30] ---**
If you don't, then everything will be fine.
**[04:33] ---**
This isn't a threat.
**[04:35] ---**
I'm not scared of dying at all.
**[04:40] ---**
Yup. Smart.
**[04:49] ---**
Narutani Kei!
**[04:56] ---**
*What is that? Ice?*
**[04:58] ---**
*No, glass!*
**[05:00] ---**
*I know this... This light...*
**[05:04] ---**
*No way!*
**[05:11] ---**
I have to go.
**[05:13] ---**
But go where?
**[05:27] ---**
*Did the Xi swallow up Rhino?*
**[05:29] ---**
*Is this whole place...*
**[05:39] ---**
Shit! I can't use the elevator?
**[05:49] ---**
Don't run!
**[05:51] ---**
If I hit you in the wrong spot,
it'll just make you suffer!
**[05:59] ---**
There!
**[06:00] ---**
Let's talk this out!
**[06:03] ---**
I'm sure we can understand each other!
**[06:16] ---**
Wait!
**[06:27] ---**
It's spread this far?
**[06:32] ---**
Gripen...
**[06:35] ---**
Please, be safe!
**[06:43] ---**
Gripen! Hey, Gripen!
**[06:45] ---**
Are you okay?
**[06:46] ---**
Gripen, open up!
**[06:48] ---**
Crap... Is there anything I can use?
**[07:01] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:03] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:04] ---**
Shit! I'll get you out right now!
**[07:13] ---**
*So quiet... Peaceful...*
**[07:16] ---**
*Like I could forget everything.*
**[07:20] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:22] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:24] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:36] ---**
What is this feeling?
**[07:39] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:41] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:42] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:44] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:46] ---**
Kei! To leave behind a future...
**[07:49] ---**
That's why I...
**[07:53] ---**
Gripen!
**[07:55] ---**
Kei?
**[07:56] ---**
Are you okay?
**[07:59] ---**
You're still you, right?
You haven't changed?
**[08:04] ---**
Kei, what is this?
**[08:06] ---**
We'll talk later!
**[08:07] ---**
Let's go! This place is bad news!
**[08:12] ---**
Kei, what's going on?
**[08:14] ---**
Is this...
**[08:16] ---**
I don't know.
**[08:17] ---**
But I bet it's got something
to do with the Xi.
**[08:20] ---**
Hey, where are you even going?
**[08:23] ---**
Rhino?
**[08:24] ---**
I'll be sad if you leave me behind!
**[08:28] ---**
Rhino, where are you?
**[08:29] ---**
Forget about her!
**[08:31] ---**
But...
**[08:32] ---**
Wait! Don't run away!
**[08:35] ---**
We can talk! Understand each other!
**[08:38] ---**
Kei, can't you hear her?
**[08:40] ---**
Rhino is telling us to wait.
**[08:44] ---**
What happened to Rhino?
**[08:46] ---**
She's not...
**[08:51] ---**
Hey! Hey!
**[08:53] ---**
Let's live here in peace and
quiet for the rest of our lives!
**[08:57] ---**
Gripen, hurry!
**[08:59] ---**
It'll swallow you up, too!
**[09:02] ---**
Me, too?
**[09:03] ---**
You've noticed by now,
haven't you, Narutani Kei?
**[09:07] ---**
So why are you still trying to struggle?
**[09:12] ---**
There's no need for the
Anima and Xi to struggle.
**[09:15] ---**
At our root, we're the same thing.
**[09:19] ---**
Almost there!
**[09:20] ---**
Let's get out of here!
**[09:24] ---**
We're fueled up.
**[09:26] ---**
We can take off from the apron, right?
**[09:27] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[09:29] ---**
With our current equipment,
we only need 300 meters for takeoff.
**[09:32] ---**
Okay.
**[09:35] ---**
Let's go!
**[09:47] ---**
Kei, the airport...
**[09:50] ---**
So that was...
**[09:56] ---**
The airport's turned into Xi?
**[09:59] ---**
The enemy has taken off.
**[10:00] ---**
Multiple missile alerts.
**[10:09] ---**
Saphiro 01.
**[10:14] ---**
Rhino!
**[10:16] ---**
*You don't have to run, I said!*
**[10:22] ---**
Fire chaff and flare!
**[10:24] ---**
None remaining.
**[10:25] ---**
Shit!
**[10:30] ---**
Are we playing tag again?
**[10:32] ---**
This time, I won't lose.
**[10:35] ---**
I don't actually want to shoot you.
**[10:37] ---**
So let's go back!
**[10:38] ---**
Let's go to the airport!
**[10:42] ---**
*There's no need for us to fight!*
**[10:47] ---**
We want the same thing.
**[10:49] ---**
The best thing to do is return
to a state of nature.
**[10:53] ---**
There's no need to cover the world
in flames and bright lights.
**[10:59] ---**
Just let yourself sink into the
quiet, peaceful darkness...
**[11:03] ---**
*There'll be no need to suffer...*
**[11:03] ---**
What?
**[11:06] ---**
Kei, the Anima are meaningless.
**[11:09] ---**
All must be as it should.
**[11:12] ---**
We are the same.
**[11:14] ---**
Gripen!
**[11:15] ---**
Is that what Rhino is saying?
**[11:17] ---**
A sad misunderstanding.
**[11:19] ---**
The goal is the same.
**[11:21] ---**
Don't listen, Gripen!
**[11:22] ---**
Compelling force is needed.
**[11:25] ---**
It is best to return things to what they were.
**[11:28] ---**
No!
**[11:30] ---**
That's not right!
**[11:31] ---**
This... This old piece of junk...
**[11:35] ---**
She was a top secret,
**[11:37] ---**
but always spacing out.
**[11:38] ---**
Silly... And a big eater.
**[11:41] ---**
And crazy...
**[11:42] ---**
Passing out all the time...
**[11:44] ---**
And because of that, I had to fly with her.
**[11:48] ---**
But she wanted to be useful to everyone,
**[11:51] ---**
to protect humanity!
**[11:53] ---**
Those feelings were real!
**[11:55] ---**
That's why I...
**[11:57] ---**
This is JAS-39D-ANM Gripen!
**[12:01] ---**
My partner!
**[12:08] ---**
Rhino, I'm sorry.
**[12:10] ---**
I can't go.
**[12:15] ---**
Gripen...
**[12:16] ---**
As I said before...
**[12:18] ---**
I was born to fly with you, Kei.
**[12:21] ---**
Keeping you alive to see the
fate of this world is my job.
**[12:27] ---**
Because I am your wings.
**[12:30] ---**
Kei, give me your orders!
**[12:32] ---**
Okay!
**[12:33] ---**
We're heading back to Komatsu!
**[12:35] ---**
Tear a path through the
enemies and head back home!
**[12:38] ---**
Roger!
**[12:55] ---**
She's fast!
**[12:57] ---**
But if we turn our potential
energy into speed...
**[13:01] ---**
Can you target a missile?
**[13:03] ---**
Not easily at this distance.
**[13:08] ---**
We need to get closer!
**[13:10] ---**
Closer... to Rhino?
**[13:13] ---**
*No.*
**[13:14] ---**
*She's on our six.*
**[13:16] ---**
*If I get close, she'll take us down first!*
**[13:18] ---**
* She's not going to let*
* us get in firing range!*
**[13:23] ---**
* Is there any way to get in firing*
* range without getting closer?*
**[13:25] ---**
*No...*
**[13:29] ---**
How many missiles do we have left?
**[13:30] ---**
Two. And then machine guns.
**[13:33] ---**
Okay! Let's use them all!
**[13:39] ---**
Kei, if we keep climbing,
Rhino will catch up with us!
**[13:44] ---**
Kei, she's getting a lock!
**[13:47] ---**
Kei!
**[13:49] ---**
Release Missile 1!
**[13:51] ---**
Bring it down in front of her!
**[13:52] ---**
Roger!
**[14:03] ---**
Lock on!
**[14:05] ---**
Fox 2!
**[14:06] ---**
Go!
**[14:18] ---**
We got her?
**[14:23] ---**
Rhino...
**[14:29] ---**
The ones from the airport?
**[14:32] ---**
They caught up with us while
we were fighting Rhino?
**[14:35] ---**
Gripen, get ready to fight them!
**[14:37] ---**
No good! We are Winchester!
**[14:38] ---**
Shit!
**[14:46] ---**
Shit!
**[14:52] ---**
Ta-dah!
**[14:53] ---**
Sheesh... Where have you been?
**[14:56] ---**
We've been looking for you.
**[14:58] ---**
I didn't expect to find you in
the middle of a fun dogfight.
**[15:00] ---**
Eagle!
**[15:01] ---**
Phantom!
**[15:03] ---**
You vanished off radar for three hours.
**[15:05] ---**
I assumed you'd long run
out of fuel and crashed.
**[15:09] ---**
What kind of magic spell did you use?
**[15:12] ---**
Three hours?
**[15:13] ---**
H-Hey, what's today's date?
**[15:16] ---**
What? Have you even
forgotten what day it is?
**[15:21] ---**
*Just tell me.*
**[15:23] ---**
August 12th. Saturday.
**[15:26] ---**
The Brawlers went out of control
and the operation was canceled.
**[15:29] ---**
But the battle continues.
**[15:32] ---**
* We just got resupplied at*
* Naha Base and came back.*
**[15:38] ---**
Hey, stop talking already!
**[15:41] ---**
Let's get 'em!
**[15:43] ---**
It's okay, right?
**[15:44] ---**
We've succeeded in our goal of
finding Kei-san and Gripen.
**[15:47] ---**
There's no point in further combat.
**[15:50] ---**
But I'm not the sort of girl who'll
let someone hurt my comrades
**[15:54] ---**
and get away with it, so...
**[15:57] ---**
Let's do some damage.
**[16:04] ---**
No fair!
**[16:05] ---**
I'm going, too!
**[16:16] ---**
Viper Zero!
**[16:18] ---**
Everyone...
**[16:19] ---**
Let me get some, too!
**[16:46] ---**
The enemy is beginning to withdraw.
**[16:50] ---**
We're saved?
**[16:54] ---**
Gripen, can you take over for a second?
**[16:58] ---**
Sure.
**[17:00] ---**
Sorry. I need to rest.
**[17:03] ---**
You have control.
**[17:05] ---**
I have control.
***SIGN*** JSDF Naha Hospital
**[17:19] ---**
I never thought I'd see anybody make direct
contact with them and make it back alive.
**[17:25] ---**
I...
**[17:27] ---**
I believe what you said.
**[17:30] ---**
The Xi and Anima are different.
**[17:32] ---**
They may be made from the same parts,
**[17:34] ---**
but they're completely different.
**[17:36] ---**
And that's not true?
**[17:39] ---**
I don't know.
**[17:41] ---**
An Anima tried to kill me,
**[17:44] ---**
but an Anima tried to save me, too.
**[17:47] ---**
But...
**[17:53] ---**
This is a hospital.
**[17:54] ---**
Don't be like that.
**[17:57] ---**
They wouldn't let me smoke
on the whole plane ride.
**[18:01] ---**
I took a look at Rhino's source code.
**[18:05] ---**
The USAF had put heavy restrictions on the way
she could think and the things she could do.
**[18:09] ---**
They put safeguards everywhere to keep her
from doing things they couldn't predict.
**[18:14] ---**
They treated her as a tool, nothing more.
**[18:18] ---**
She didn't seem like that at all.
**[18:22] ---**
She was outspoken, curious...
**[18:24] ---**
But sometimes she could be kind.
**[18:27] ---**
And that's probably the
only way they let her be.
**[18:33] ---**
As for what kind of Anima she was...
**[18:36] ---**
Well, there's no way to know now.
**[18:38] ---**
She may not have known herself.
**[18:42] ---**
So when all those bonds were removed,
she quickly lost sight of herself.
**[18:50] ---**
Well, the Japanese Anima have safeties, too.
**[18:55] ---**
It's just a question of degree.
**[18:57] ---**
When those safeties are removed,
there's no telling what will happen at all.
**[19:02] ---**
How do we deal with that?
**[19:04] ---**
Make them like humanity.
That's the only way.
**[19:07] ---**
Make us so important to them
that they want to protect us.
**[19:10] ---**
That's all.
**[19:12] ---**
It's unscientific.
**[19:14] ---**
I'd prefer to be called a romanticist.
**[19:18] ---**
It's time for me to go.
**[19:20] ---**
Tell me the details later.
**[19:24] ---**
Yashirodoori-san...
**[19:27] ---**
We can co-exist with the Anima, right?
**[19:32] ---**
We can live alongside each other, right?
**[19:36] ---**
Have some confidence, Narutani Kei.
**[19:39] ---**
You and Gripen gave us hope.
**[19:42] ---**
No matter how bad things look,
**[19:44] ---**
she showed us there's one
bond that will never break.
**[19:53] ---**
Kei...
**[19:56] ---**
What is it?
**[19:57] ---**
Did something happen?
**[19:58] ---**
No, nothing.
**[20:01] ---**
I just wanted to be with you.
**[20:06] ---**
Do you believe in fate?
**[20:11] ---**
It's just a feeling I had,
**[20:13] ---**
but we met on the East China Sea,
**[20:15] ---**
then again at Komatsu.
**[20:17] ---**
Then we learned that we couldn't
fly unless we were together.
**[20:21] ---**
It's almost funny how many
coincidences there were.
**[20:24] ---**
But it doesn't feel strange at all, does it?
**[20:27] ---**
It feels natural to have you by my side.
**[20:31] ---**
I thought about what you might call that...
**[20:34] ---**
And the word "fate" came to mind.
**[20:37] ---**
What about you?
**[20:40] ---**
I don't really know,
**[20:42] ---**
but I don't think I believe in fate.
**[20:46] ---**
If it was fate that brought us together,
**[20:49] ---**
then that means I couldn't have
found you if fate got in my way.
**[20:53] ---**
That's hard to accept.
**[20:59] ---**
I see!
**[21:00] ---**
So it's our will and our choices
that brought us here, huh?
**[21:07] ---**
*We lost many lives in that battle.*
**[21:10] ---**
*We lost Rhino.*
**[21:12] ---**
*Humanity gained nothing at all.*
**[21:15] ---**
* We just realized again*
* how strange our enemy is.*
**[21:20] ---**
*I still don't know why the Xi fight.*
**[21:25] ---**
*To rule the world?*
**[21:27] ---**
*Wipe out humanity?*
**[21:29] ---**
*Secure a place for themselves to live?*
**[21:32] ---**
* I still don't know what*
* the Anima are, either.*
**[21:35] ---**
*But if I don't defeat the Xi,*
**[21:37] ---**
* I can't see the future*
* that waits beyond them.*
**[21:40] ---**
* The Anima and the Daughters are*
* tools to make that happen.*
**[21:43] ---**
*And for now, that's enough.*
**[21:46] ---**
*If it's not fate, then...*
**[21:49] ---**
*Our meeting was...*
**[21:54] ---**
Someday, I want to fly in the
skies over China with you.
**[22:01] ---**
Yeah.
