**[00:04] ---**
Analysis is complete.
**[00:06] ---**
Very well, let me see it.
**[00:09] ---**
This is...
**[00:14] ---**
- Ready?
- Ready?
**[00:18] ---**
- Welcome to Build Divers, Nami!
- Welcome to Build Divers, Nami!
**[00:23] ---**
Welcome, Nami.
**[00:25] ---**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[00:27] ---**
At first, we never
imagined Nami would join our force.
**[00:32] ---**
I mean, I know it's a game,
but this place is so lovely.
**[00:37] ---**
How could I pass it up?
**[00:39] ---**
I'm an image girl now, too.
**[00:42] ---**
- Right?
- Right?
**[00:43] ---**
And after participating in the race,
**[00:46] ---**
I remembered how you guys
always talked about it.
**[00:48] ---**
It sounded so fun,
and I wanted to join.
**[00:52] ---**
Is that too frivolous?
**[00:54] ---**
Nope. We're happy to have you.
**[00:56] ---**
Yes.
**[00:57] ---**
So what about your Gunpla?
**[00:59] ---**
There's one I'm thinking of building.
**[01:02] ---**
And my brother will help me. Right?
**[01:05] ---**
S-Sure...
**[01:08] ---**
And I heard that
Sarah doesn't have a Gunpla either.
**[01:12] ---**
I requested one for her too,
so we can make our battle debut together.
**[01:20] ---**
Nice. We'll all enjoy it!
**[01:22] ---**
- Yeah.
- That's great.
**[01:25] ---**
And...
**[01:26] ---**
I'd like to ask everyone
for another favor.
**[03:06] ---**
A makeover?
**[03:08] ---**
Well, since you gave me my own room...
**[03:11] ---**
I want to customize that room
in my own cute way.
**[03:15] ---**
I know what you mean!
**[03:16] ---**
And so...
**[03:18] ---**
Tadah!
**[03:19] ---**
I listed up missions
where you can get cute items.
**[03:24] ---**
Sometimes she gets so eager.
**[03:26] ---**
I like that idea. Riku, let's go.
**[03:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[03:30] ---**
It'll be a good change of pace
before the Matching Battle.
**[03:33] ---**
Definitely!
**[03:35] ---**
Matching Battle?
**[03:37] ---**
It's a battle event
set up as a one-day tournament.
**[03:41] ---**
There's a Force Battle format,
but this time, it's individual.
**[03:45] ---**
We all entered to test our skills
before the Raid Battle.
**[03:48] ---**
But I'm still getting my Gunpla ready.
**[03:52] ---**
So you might have to fight teammates?
**[03:55] ---**
Maybe!
**[03:57] ---**
Even if you fight me and lose,
no hard feelings.
**[04:00] ---**
Of course not!
**[04:01] ---**
I might want you to go easy on me.
**[04:04] ---**
You're the oldest. Don't be a coward.
**[04:08] ---**
Sorry.
**[04:13] ---**
This will be really fun,
getting more teammates.
**[04:18] ---**
Alright.
**[04:19] ---**
It'll be a continuation
of Nami's welcome party.
**[04:24] ---**
To get legendary pieces of furniture.
**[04:26] ---**
Let's embark on the missions!
**[04:31] ---**
Sorry to bother you again, Champ.
**[04:33] ---**
Not a problem.
**[04:35] ---**
Especially if it's about the bugs
that have been occurring lately.
**[04:39] ---**
So what have you learned?
**[04:44] ---**
We analyzed the bug
from the race the other day.
**[04:47] ---**
These bugs were
not caused by Break Decals,
**[04:50] ---**
but by something
we don't know about yet.
**[04:53] ---**
And if we don't act, it'll pose
a greater threat than Break Decals.
**[04:59] ---**
We also analyzed the distribution
of outbreak points in the Dimension
**[05:04] ---**
and the time correlation
between their location and frequency.
**[05:08] ---**
We then found a high probability that
**[05:11] ---**
the outbreaks involve one of
the race participants.
**[05:15] ---**
That can't be.
**[05:17] ---**
No log data was detected
for the Break Decal bug.
**[05:21] ---**
We reached this conclusion
based on that.
**[05:26] ---**
We in administration
**[05:28] ---**
will dispatch guard machines
to all those women.
**[05:33] ---**
It's possible that
**[05:34] ---**
one of these women is using a tool
we could call a second Break Decal.
**[05:40] ---**
If so...
**[05:42] ---**
I want you to be prepared.
**[05:46] ---**
Let's get the reward items.
**[06:46] ---**
We're making good progress.
Halfway there.
**[06:49] ---**
You gotta play better yourself.
**[06:51] ---**
This mission is for your benefit.
**[06:53] ---**
Yeah, yeah, I know.
**[06:55] ---**
This is really fun.
**[06:57] ---**
Yeah, same for me.
**[06:59] ---**
I won't lose next time.
**[07:02] ---**
I'll take you on anytime.
**[07:21] ---**
What is that?
**[07:49] ---**
A guard machine?
**[07:50] ---**
Why here?
**[08:00] ---**
What was that about?
**[08:02] ---**
Not sure.
**[08:05] ---**
- What was that?
- Did something happen?
**[08:08] ---**
How should I know?
**[08:10] ---**
A guard machine?
**[08:11] ---**
It's sent by the administration.
**[08:14] ---**
It's programmed to patrol GBN
and act to resolve problems
**[08:18] ---**
as soon as it detects any.
**[08:22] ---**
Oh...
**[08:23] ---**
It's kind of creepy.
**[08:27] ---**
It's looking this way.
**[08:29] ---**
What's it doing here?
**[08:41] ---**
Huh?
**[08:45] ---**
What? I can't get my Gunpla out?
**[08:51] ---**
This is a Safety Area.
You can't take out your Gunpla here.
**[08:54] ---**
No...Sarah!
**[08:57] ---**
Run!
**[09:03] ---**
Sarah!
**[09:35] ---**
Restore the system at once!
**[09:37] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[09:44] ---**
It's like what happened before
in that race.
**[09:47] ---**
Actually, it's like
the Break Decal bug.
**[09:58] ---**
Sarah!
**[10:07] ---**
Calm down, Sarah.
**[10:31] ---**
Sarah, are you alright?
**[10:39] ---**
It's temporary,
**[10:40] ---**
but I suppressed the bug
and shut down the guard machine.
**[10:45] ---**
Nice to meet you, Build Divers.
**[10:49] ---**
I am the developer of GBN.
**[10:52] ---**
The one who created GBN's main system.
**[11:04] ---**
Please, come in.
**[11:07] ---**
This is my own personal floor
I created within the system.
**[11:11] ---**
Even the Game Master
or administration can't trace the log.
**[11:15] ---**
We can talk here without being bothered.
**[11:18] ---**
Please, have a seat.
**[11:22] ---**
Umm...
**[11:23] ---**
Are you really the one
who developed GBN?
**[11:26] ---**
You created the main system...?
**[11:29] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[11:31] ---**
I know everything there is
to know about GBN.
**[11:34] ---**
That's why I was able to do
what I just did.
**[11:37] ---**
And why is someone like you
meeting us?
**[11:40] ---**
To discuss something important.
**[11:48] ---**
I'm sure you saw that storm.
**[11:51] ---**
That's an abnormal phenomenon
caused by a bug.
**[11:54] ---**
Have you not heard?
**[11:55] ---**
New bugs have been occurring
more frequently.
**[11:59] ---**
- Well...
- Sort of.
**[12:02] ---**
The cause of those bugs is...
**[12:05] ---**
her.
**[12:17] ---**
I'll get right to the point.
**[12:19] ---**
She's not like normal Divers who
log in to GBN from a physical body.
**[12:25] ---**
She was born in
this cyberspace called GBN.
**[12:29] ---**
You could say she's
an electronic lifeform.
**[12:32] ---**
An electronic lifeform...?
**[12:35] ---**
Is that possible...?
**[12:38] ---**
When you log in to GBN,
**[12:41] ---**
you scan your Gunpla.
**[12:43] ---**
Let's say the amount of Gunpla data
is 100% when it's captured.
**[12:50] ---**
But when that Gunpla
is recreated in GBN,
**[12:55] ---**
and data is transmitted
for missions and battles...
**[12:59] ---**
I realized that a small amount
of excess data is added,
**[13:03] ---**
maybe just one-millionth
of the total amount.
**[13:10] ---**
This excess data that even I,
the developer, never expected...
**[13:15] ---**
I think of it as the Divers'
feelings for Gunpla.
**[13:21] ---**
Feelings for Gunpla...?
**[13:23] ---**
And when that small amount
of data came together...
**[13:28] ---**
she was born.
**[13:30] ---**
Sarah.
**[13:32] ---**
It was theoretically possible.
**[13:35] ---**
But I only confirmed
her existence just recently.
**[13:40] ---**
I've been following her since.
**[13:44] ---**
I wanted to watch over
this life that was born in GBN.
**[13:49] ---**
But she is growing at a speed that
far exceeded my expectations.
**[13:56] ---**
I think that's because...
**[13:58] ---**
she met all of you.
**[14:05] ---**
And then I realized something.
**[14:09] ---**
That as she grew,
bugs started to occur.
**[14:14] ---**
And their frequency was
increasing at an alarming rate.
**[14:19] ---**
As she grew and gained
more memories and emotions,
**[14:24] ---**
that began putting
strain on the system.
**[14:27] ---**
The bugs that broke out
due to her growth...
**[14:31] ---**
It's true that they weren't
causing great damage.
**[14:34] ---**
They could be suppressed
within the system.
**[14:38] ---**
But that all changed...
**[14:41] ---**
with the Break Decal incident.
**[14:45] ---**
In order to fight the bug that was
**[14:47] ---**
corroding the system
across servers...
**[14:51] ---**
you guys fully unleashed her powers.
**[14:55] ---**
In the form of those wings of light.
**[15:00] ---**
They were created unconsciously,
responding to the players' feelings.
**[15:04] ---**
While nullifying the effects
of the Break Decal,
**[15:07] ---**
they also spread
Sarah factors all across GBN.
**[15:13] ---**
Thus, the strain on the system
that accompanies her growth
**[15:17] ---**
started to affect GBN in its entirety.
**[15:21] ---**
The system still has
some room to tolerate it.
**[15:25] ---**
But this won't last for long.
**[15:29] ---**
If she continues to grow,
**[15:32] ---**
the strain on the system
will trigger more bugs.
**[15:36] ---**
The world will head faster
and faster to destruction.
**[15:41] ---**
In the not-so-distant future,
GBN will likely meet its end.
**[15:47] ---**
An entity that creates
bugs surpassing the Break Decals
**[15:50] ---**
and will eventually destroy GBN...
**[15:55] ---**
That is what Sarah is.
**[15:59] ---**
Due to that guard machine,
the administration now knows of her.
**[16:04] ---**
Without a doubt, they will create
an update patch to eradicate the bugs.
**[16:09] ---**
And they won't hesitate to use it.
**[16:13] ---**
When that happens...
**[16:15] ---**
What?
**[16:17] ---**
In order to completely
eradicate the bugs,
**[16:20] ---**
all of her personality data
will have to be destroyed.
**[16:24] ---**
That means she will cease to exist.
**[16:28] ---**
She will die.
**[16:31] ---**
I don't believe it!
**[16:33] ---**
Sarah's an electronic lifeform?
**[16:36] ---**
GBN will come to an end?
**[16:38] ---**
That's...
**[16:42] ---**
Very well.
**[16:44] ---**
Then let us ask her.
**[16:46] ---**
Where were you born?
**[16:48] ---**
What's your name in real life?
Your age?
**[16:52] ---**
When do you log out?
**[16:56] ---**
Sarah. Tell me it's not true.
**[17:02] ---**
I've wanted to apologize to you all.
**[17:07] ---**
This "real world" that
you all talk about...
**[17:11] ---**
I don't know what it is.
**[17:14] ---**
But if I said that,
**[17:16] ---**
I thought you'd think I'm weird.
**[17:20] ---**
I thought you'd hate me.
**[17:22] ---**
So I...
**[17:24] ---**
I couldn't tell you.
**[17:26] ---**
We'd never...
**[17:28] ---**
I'm sorry, Sarah.
**[17:30] ---**
No one is blaming you.
**[17:34] ---**
I want to help you somehow.
**[17:36] ---**
So I did a variety of simulations.
**[17:41] ---**
I thought about transferring you
to a different hard disk.
**[17:45] ---**
But no.
**[17:46] ---**
Something connected to the servers
will inevitably affect the system.
**[17:51] ---**
Even if I could transfer you,
**[17:53] ---**
there's the risk of
damaging your personality data.
**[17:59] ---**
I'm confident that
my knowledge of the system
**[18:01] ---**
and my programming skills
surpass the administration's.
**[18:05] ---**
But I still don't see a solution.
**[18:09] ---**
Why are you telling us this?
**[18:13] ---**
Well...
**[18:14] ---**
Maybe I have hopes for you all.
**[18:20] ---**
Since you wish to save her
just as I do.
**[18:27] ---**
That's ridiculous.
Sarah's an electronic lifeform?
**[18:30] ---**
We decided to call her an EL-Diver.
**[18:34] ---**
An EL-Diver?
**[18:36] ---**
At first, I couldn't believe
my eyes either.
**[18:40] ---**
But as I keep reviewing the data,
I can't help concluding that.
**[18:46] ---**
Furthermore,
according to my simulations,
**[18:48] ---**
even if we quarantined her, the bugs
would infiltrate other servers.
**[18:53] ---**
Their force would surpass
the Break Decal bug.
**[18:57] ---**
A threat greater than Break Decals...
**[19:00] ---**
We've already confirmed
the strain on the system.
**[19:03] ---**
If nothing is done,
within a matter of months...
**[19:06] ---**
GBN will collapse.
**[19:10] ---**
Any countermeasures?
**[19:11] ---**
We're creating an update patch.
**[19:14] ---**
In order to eliminate
the bug and its origin.
**[19:18] ---**
Does that mean...
**[19:19] ---**
you're going to erase Sarah?
**[19:22] ---**
We're referring to her
as an EL-Diver,
**[19:25] ---**
but without a doubt,
she's merely a digital entity.
**[19:29] ---**
Just like a bug.
**[19:31] ---**
To stabilize GBN and protect
every player's play data...
**[19:36] ---**
That is our duty.
**[19:39] ---**
You should know this, Kyoya.
**[19:44] ---**
Sarah, umm...
**[19:47] ---**
Thank you for worrying about me.
**[19:50] ---**
But, I'm sorry...
**[19:53] ---**
I want to be alone for a while.
**[19:55] ---**
OK. I understand.
**[19:59] ---**
Then, I'll see you later.
**[20:07] ---**
How's she doing?
**[20:08] ---**
She was really depressed.
**[20:10] ---**
You can't blame her
after what she was told.
**[20:14] ---**
But is it really true?
**[20:18] ---**
Maybe it's a reality-show prank.
**[20:21] ---**
Using such huge amount of data?
**[20:23] ---**
I can't think what
they'd get out of tricking us.
**[20:28] ---**
You're...right.
**[20:41] ---**
If Sarah's truly an electronic lifeform,
what do we do now?
**[20:47] ---**
At this rate, GBN will collapse.
**[20:50] ---**
But before that, the administration
will probably complete the patch
**[20:54] ---**
and apply it.
**[20:57] ---**
Then Sarah will...
**[20:58] ---**
I won't let that happen!
**[21:00] ---**
- Yeah!
- I want to help Sarah!
**[21:04] ---**
I feel the same way.
**[21:06] ---**
But what can we do?
**[21:08] ---**
Even that person said...
**[21:10] ---**
she couldn't think of a solution.
**[21:13] ---**
Never say never.
**[21:15] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:17] ---**
A bug is something unexpected,
like a loophole in the program, right?
**[21:22] ---**
There has to be a way.
**[21:25] ---**
A loophole?
**[21:27] ---**
I thought about transferring you
to a different hard disk.
**[21:30] ---**
But no.
**[21:32] ---**
Something connected to the servers
will inevitably affect the system.
**[21:37] ---**
A different hard disk...?
**[21:41] ---**
KO-1?
**[21:43] ---**
It's nothing.
**[21:45] ---**
Hi, how's everyone doing?
**[21:47] ---**
Magee, is something wrong?
**[21:50] ---**
I saw Sarah in the lobby just now.
**[21:54] ---**
But something didn't seem right,
so I was worried.
**[21:58] ---**
Did something happen?
**[22:01] ---**
Sarah!
**[22:05] ---**
- She's gone?
- Molly too?
**[22:08] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[22:10] ---**
Goodbye.
**[22:12] ---**
This is...
**[22:19] ---**
Pleased to meet you.
**[22:21] ---**
I am the Game Master, the supervisor
for GBN's administration.
**[22:26] ---**
I'm looking for a member
of your force named Sarah.
**[22:35] ---**
Our target is on the run.
**[22:37] ---**
Notify every district
and begin searching.
**[23:05] ---**
This is a notice
from the administration.
**[23:08] ---**
Regarding the bugs
that have been occurring recently...
**[23:12] ---**
We have determined the cause.
**[23:15] ---**
Her name is Sarah.
**[23:18] ---**
She is not human.
**[23:20] ---**
She is an electronic lifeform
that arose and grew in GBN.
**[23:24] ---**
She is an EL-Diver.
**[23:26] ---**
And if we continue to let her exist,
**[23:29] ---**
we run the risk of
GBN collapsing completely.
**[23:33] ---**
However, there is no need to worry.
**[23:35] ---**
The administration is taking action
and working on an update patch.
**[23:41] ---**
If you see her anywhere in GBN,
do not approach her.
**[23:45] ---**
Please contact us immediately.
**[23:49] ---**
I repeat. Her name is Sarah.
**[23:52] ---**
She is an electronic lifeform
that arose in GBN.
**[23:55] ---**
An EL-Diver.
**[24:11] ---**
Where has Sarah gone...?
**[24:13] ---**
Something serious is happening.
**[24:15] ---**
The administration even
sent out a broadcast...
**[24:17] ---**
But Sarah didn't do anything bad!
**[24:19] ---**
We have to do something!
**[24:21] ---**
In that case,
**[24:22] ---**
we need to find her.
**[24:24] ---**
We also need to find a solution,
**[24:26] ---**
a way to save both Sarah and GBN.
**[24:28] ---**
At a time like this,
why would Mr. Ogre...?!
**[24:32] ---**
Next episode, Your Feelings.
**[24:35] ---**
Please tell me.
**[24:36] ---**
I want to know!
