[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.

[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.

[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.
[18:04] ---
And if they get between you and the sun,
visual identification is difficult.
[18:06] ---
Striking from a blind spot is the
traditional way to do a dogfight, right?
[18:17] ---
Oh, jeez!
[18:18] ---
Just get over here!

I'm running out of missiles!

You seem to be fully occupied
protecting yourself.
[18:26] ---
Can you also protect me?
[18:28] ---
It's not whether I can do it, I am doing it!
[18:31] ---
Just follow the plan!
[18:33] ---
Eagle!
[18:34] ---
No!
[18:41] ---
What is this?
[18:46] ---
Take this, dang it!
[18:51] ---
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] ---
We won't be able to flee.
[19:04] ---
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] ---
No way!
[19:39] ---
No way!
[19:40] ---
We can't win like this.
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.
[20:27] ---
K-Kei?
[20:29] ---
That's a cheap provocation.
[20:31] ---
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.
