[00:01] Narrator
    In the flow of time, the mysterious
    nation of Japan was lost...
[00:05] Narrator
    Back in the 16th century, when Japan
    still existed, in the land of Kai Country...
[00:11] Narrator
    It was the age of Warring States.
[00:13] Narrator
    As warlords battled for supremacy,
    an utterly out-of-place figure appeared...
[00:29] Axl
    Sorry! I swear I didn't mean
    to intrude or anything!
[00:34] Narrator
    Axl Low!
[00:37] Narrator
    A time-tripper from the 20th century
    who leaps across history!
[00:41] Axl
    It's not like I want to be jumping
    around like this, you know!
[00:50] Narrator
    His ability, known as "Causal Anomaly,"
[00:53] Narrator
    activates without regard for his own will.
[00:56] Axl
    Wait, wait, hold up!
[00:58] Axl
    Yeah, I know, I look shady.
[01:01] Axl
    Super shady... I get it.
[01:05] Axl
    But cutting me down right away?
    Bit harsh, don't you think?
[01:09] Axl
    Life's important, yeah?
    Don't you feel that way too?
[01:15] Axl
    You don't...
[01:17] Axl
    Well, that's a shame...
[03:13] Nerville
    Foolish... utterly foolish Gears...
    and humans.
[03:22] Nerville
    Across frozen time, I have... arrived here.
[03:27] Nerville
    Now is the moment to deliver
    true judgment upon the world.
[03:38] Erika
    Mr. President! We've identified
    the epicenter of the Gear rampage.
[03:41] Vernon
    Where is it?
[03:43] Erika
    We've detected a magic pulse coming
    from the Nerville Hammer estate.
[03:46] Erika
    The wavelength matches that of Dizzy Kiske.
[03:49] Erika
    It appears Sin Kiske has awakened
    his power as a Command-Type Gear.
[03:53] Vernon
    That young man?
[03:55] Vernon
    I see... so this is the virus's doing!
[03:58] Erika
    Agent U reports success in regaining
    control of the magic weapon systems!
[04:04] Vernon
    I see.
[04:05] Erika
    Mr. President...
[04:09] Erika
    The Gear rampage threatens the entire world.
[04:19] Vernon
    Prepare to activate the magic weapons,
    but don't pull the trigger.
[04:23] Erika
    Understood... but we can't wait forever.
[04:28] Vernon
    Yeah...
[04:29] Vernon
    I'm counting on you... Sol Badguy.
[04:40] Nerville
    How hideous... you slaughter-machines!
[04:43] Nerville
    No matter how human you pretend to be,
[04:45] Nerville
    peel back that thin skin
    and this is your true nature!
[04:49] Nerville
    Crushing everything beneath
    you with sheer violence...
[04:52] Nerville
    That is the true face
    of those born with power!
[04:58] Nerville
    Now go on, with those hands of yours,
[05:03] Nerville
    and destroy everything you hold dear!
[05:44] Nerville
    Your willpower is impressive...
    but it's pointless.
[05:50] Nerville
    The virus is already eroding your brain.
[05:53] Nerville
    At best, you're buying yourself
    a few extra minutes.
[05:57] Sin
    D-Don't... underestimate me...
[06:06] Sin
    Even if it takes ten years...
    a hundred years...
[06:12] Sin
    It all starts with one minute at a time!
[06:21] Nerville
    Fool! Weapons are made to kill!
[06:25] Nerville
    You still don't understand
    something that simple?!
[06:33] (Flashback) Sol
    If you screw it up, I'll smack you
    and get you back on track.
[06:40] (Flashback) Sol
    So... you want me to raise a kid now?
[06:43] (Flashback) Ky
    I want you to teach Sin how to use his power.
[06:47] (Flashback) Dizzy
    Please... guide him.
[06:50] (Flashback) Dizzy
    I know we've failed as parents...
[06:54] (Flashback) Dizzy
    But right now, we can't raise
    that child in this country.
[06:58] (Flashback) Ky
    If the world finds out the child of
    the queen and king of Illyria is a Gear,
[07:02] (Flashback) Ky
    peace will fall apart.
[07:05] (Flashback) Ky
    We just need a little more time.
[07:08] (Flashback) Sol
    Politics, huh? That's not the kid's problem.
[07:14] (Flashback) Sol
    Fine.
[07:16] (Flashback) Ky
    Really?
[07:17] (Flashback) Sol
    I'm doing this for your kid,
    but in return...
[07:21] (Flashback) Ky
    What is this?!
[07:23] (Flashback) Sol
    If the worst happens...
[07:25] (Flashback) Sol
    Shoot me with that.
[07:28] Narrator
    Turning a human into a Gear...
    comes with immense risks.
[07:32] Narrator
    The overwhelming power can crush them,
[07:35] Narrator
    transforming them into
    an uncontrollable killing machine.
[07:40] Narrator
    At the time, Sol Badguy's raw combat ability
[07:43] Narrator
    far surpassed that of
    any nation's military forces.
[07:47] (Flashback) Ky
    So you're saying... he's the safety switch.
[07:51] (Flashback) Ky
    I suppose... it's necessary
    for the sake of global stability.
[07:54] (Flashback) Dizzy
    If we're talking about danger,
[07:56] (Flashback) Dizzy
    then I, someone who can control all Gears,
    also need a safety switch.
[08:01] (Flashback) Dizzy
    This one is meant to stop me.
[08:04] (Flashback) Sol
    You sure about this? If it works on you,
    it'll work on your son too.
[08:13] (Flashback) Dizzy
    You're the only one I can trust with it.
[08:23] Nerville
    Sol Badguy... the one who raised Sin.
[08:32] Nerville
    So this is your brilliant solution
    to save the world!
[08:46] Nerville
    Can you really pull
    the trigger on your own son?!
[08:54] Sol
    Sin!
[08:57] Din
    Old... Man...
[09:02] Baiken
    S-Stop it!
[09:41] Operator A
    Magic pulse has ceased!
[09:42] Operator B
    Gears across all regions
    are entering a dormant state!
[09:46] Vernon
    Has the world been saved?
[09:49] Vernon
    What about Sin?
[09:51] Erika
    He's most likely...
[09:57] Nerville
    So, in order to survive...
    you'd kill your own child.
[10:01] Nerville
    Those with power oppress the powerless
    and need conflict just to keep living.
[10:08] Nerville
    Then I shall consume everything
    and blanket the world myself.
[10:15] Nerville
    Using the Causal Anomaly.
[10:19] Sol
    You mean Axl?!
[10:20] Narrator
    Axl, wandering endlessly through time,
[10:23] Narrator
    would inevitably cross paths with those
    who have lived long lives.
[10:27] Narrator
    Among them is Sol Badguy, a man... and a Gear.
[10:30] Narrator
    After countless battles
    with Sol and other heroes,
[10:34] Narrator
    Axl eventually gained the ability
    to control his time travel.
[10:38] Axl
    But that doesn't make me
    invincible or immortal.
[10:42] Axl
    I'm no god. I can't see the future.
[10:54] (Flashback) Axl
    Sin! Dizzy!
[11:00] (Flashback) Axl
    What the hell's going on with you two?!
[11:24] (Flashback) Unika
    Father.
[11:26] (Flashback) Nerville
    Just as planned.
[11:37] (Flashback) Axl
    Man, I owe you for everything. Thanks!
[11:41] (Flashback) Nerville
    It was this young lady who found you.
[11:43] (Flashback) Axl
    Hey, appreciate it, miss. What's your name?
[11:46] (Flashback) Unika
    Unika.
[11:48] (Flashback) Nerville
    She never knew her real parents.
[11:52] (Flashback) Nerville
    They were lost in the war, the Second Crusade.
[11:56] (Flashback) Axl
    W-Wait... the Second Crusade?!
[11:59] (Flashback) Nerville
    On Dizzy's order as a Command-Type Gear,
[12:02] (Flashback) Nerville
    Gears across the globe reawakened
    and began their assault.
[12:08] (Flashback) Nerville
    Humanity now teeters on the brink
    of extinction, Sir Axl Low.
[12:14] (Flashback) Axl
    You know my name?
[12:16] (Flashback) Nerville
    I do. I know all about the Causal Anomaly
    that allows you to transcend time.
[12:22] (Flashback) Nerville
    You... have the power to erase this tragedy.
[12:25] (Flashback) Axl
    Hold on. "Erase a tragedy" sounds nice, but...
[12:30] (Flashback) Axl
    that's the same as erasing
    someone's entire life.
[12:33] (Flashback) Axl
    Those lives that are being
    lived out now will cease to exist!
[12:37] (Flashback) Nerville
    And yet, if nothing changes,
    this planet will vanish.
[12:43] (Flashback) Axl
    Why'd Dizzy go berserk in the first place?
[12:47] (Flashback) Nerville
    She sought to erase all Gears.
[12:51] (Flashback) Nerville
    And as a Command-Type Gear,
    her order compelled all the others to follow.
[12:56] (Flashback) Axl
    There's no way she'd do that!
[12:58] (Flashback) Nerville
    That's what the virus was for.
[13:01] (Flashback) Nerville
    It drove the Gears mad
    and pushed them toward death.
[13:05] (Flashback) Axl
    You did this?!
[13:11] (Flashback) Axl
    You damn bastard!
[13:18] (Flashback) Nerville
    Even with godlike power,
    you're still a mere human.
[13:23] (Flashback) Nerville
    You lack resolve. Now, become
    a cog in my grand design.
[13:31] Axl
    I'm no god...
[13:35] Axl
    Not invincible, nor immortal...
[13:42] Nerville
    Humans are tossed about by chance.
    Such is the law of this world.
[13:48] Nerville
    But I, from far above,
    have seized control of fate itself...
[13:52] Nerville
    and shall bestow true salvation
    upon this world!
[13:56] Unika
    F-Father...
[14:06] Nerville
    The abominable Gear, Dizzy,
    left behind an egg before her death.
[14:11] Nerville
    And the daughter that hatched from it
    inherited her cursed potential.
[14:15] Nerville
    A monster that defies
    the purity of human blood.
[14:19] Nerville
    A Gear born with sin etched
    into her very existence.
[14:22] Nerville
    Even when offered the chance
    for atonement, she rejected it...
[14:25] Nerville
    and placed the world in danger.
[14:28] Nerville
    It was a mistake to show mercy.
[14:32] Nerville
    Now, die...
[14:52] Johnny
    What the hell's going on?!
[14:56] Jack-O’
    That bullet burned through
    Sin's magic all at once.
[15:02] Jack-O’
    It knocked him out cold.
[15:04] Jack-O’
    It looks like it incinerated the virus too.
[15:08] Johnny
    Ahh... so that's what it was.
[15:10] Nerville
    What a ridiculous performance.
[15:12] Baiken
    Still, it bought us some breathing room.
[15:16] Baiken
    Last time, we got interrupted...
[15:21] Baiken
    But this time, I'm not holding back.
[15:23] Nerville
    Fools... the powerless...
[15:28] Nerville
    Th-This body... has already
    t-transcended h-human limits...
[15:35] Nerville
    Gone beyond... the G-G-Gears...
[15:40] Nerville
    and reached divinity!
[15:58] Baiken
    What?!
[15:58] Nerville
    You want to cut me down?
    Is that what you want?!
[16:04] Nerville
    Then allow me to show you
    what perfect life truly is!
[16:24] Nerville
    Still...
[16:26] Nerville
    not enough.
[16:32] Baiken
    So you're immortal, huh? Then take this!
[16:55] Jack-O’
    Not so good with teamwork, are you?
[17:00] Nerville
    Gods are meant to be alone.
[17:25] Baiken
    What a pain in the ass!
[17:32] Nerville
    What a disappointment, Flame of Corruption.
[17:36] Nerville
    The way you are now...
[17:41] Nerville
    you're nothing but smoldering ash.
[17:43] Sol
    Tyrant Rave!
[18:13] Jack-O’
    Pushing past the full limit of Heurhythmic
    control like that... You're insane!
[18:18] Nerville
    With infinite time, it is a simple matter!
[18:30] Jack--O’
    Sin!
[18:52] Nerville
    Fool... Is this all
    a slaughter-machine can do?
[18:59] Baiken
    Sin!
[19:18] Sol
    Step back!
[19:37] Nerville
    Is that all? You're already out of moves?
[19:41] Nerville
    Life is fragile by nature.
[19:44] Nerville
    You are nothing before a god
    who reigns over infinite time!
[20:01] Nerville
    So this is the Phantom Hirofumi Style,
    Swallow-Moon-Blade?
[20:08] Nerville
    I was hoping to witness some
    Eastern mysticism firsthand.
[20:16] Nerville
    Is that the only trick you know?
[20:19] Johnny
    Swallow-Moon-Blade, Final Technique.
[20:26] Nerville
    How disappointing.
[20:32] Johnny
    There you are!
[20:42] Johnny
    That's the name I carry.
[20:47] Johnny
    Everyone, aim for the heart!
[20:50] Jack-O’
    Got it!
[21:04] Baiken
    So that's the trick!
[21:11] Sol
    Take this!
[21:53] Unika
    F-Father...?
[21:56] Narrator
    And so, at last... from the heavens,
    the merciless god descends.
[22:01] Narrator
    As despair fills the sky...
[22:04] Narrator
    What do the warriors see
    in the face of annihilation?
