[00:09] ---
    He'll be fine.
    Lots of people are playing GBN.
[00:14] ---
    Hinata.
[00:17] ---
    Off to GBN, Hiroto?
[00:20] ---
    Just dropping by today.
    I'll be seeing the others.
[00:23] ---
    The others?
[00:25] ---
    We talk in real life now and then.
[00:27] ---
    You mean your Gunpla Battle teammates?
[00:31] ---
    It's an offline meeting!
[00:34] ---
    Yeah, I guess... That does mean
    meeting up in real life.
[00:38] ---
    We're just chatting for a bit.
    Well then, good luck at work.
[00:42] ---
    Okay! Have a good time!
[00:49] ---
    Huh? Hiroto...
SIGN    Episode 21
    To Fly Once More
[02:37] ---
    Over here, Hiroto!
[02:44] ---
    Sorry for the short notice.
[02:46] ---
    I had to come if you were here.
[02:49] ---
    You live the farthest, after all.
[02:51] ---
    So you wanted to talk about Eldora, right?
[02:54] ---
    Yeah. From what the sacred beast said,
[02:56] ---
    we have 500 hours before
    the satellite cannon fires again.
[03:00] ---
    So we have about 3 weeks.
[03:04] ---
    There's not much time left,
    so we need a proper strategy.
[03:11] ---
    - What's the matter?
    - You sounded like a real leader.
[03:14] ---
    What? I've always been the leader!
[03:19] ---
    Anyway, we have to destroy that cannon
    before the time limit!
[03:23] ---
    We must go up to space from Eldora again.
[03:27] ---
    And we'll need to use
    that orbital elevator, too?
[03:31] ---
    There's no other choice right now.
[03:34] ---
    But last time, it was as if
    Alus lured us up there.
[03:39] ---
    Yeah. He'll probably strengthen
    his defenses next time.
[03:42] ---
    Maybe so.
[03:44] ---
    But even if we manage to get in,
    how do we take down that huge cannon?
[03:49] ---
    I want to make our Gunpla stronger.
[03:53] ---
    The One-Eyes are harder to deal with now.
[03:57] ---
    Also...
[04:00] ---
    there's the Seltsam.
[04:04] ---
    But I do have one concern...
[04:08] ---
    The Seltsam.
[04:10] ---
    It was summoned from another world.
    Alus didn't create it.
[04:15] ---
    So even if the One-Eyes
    can't attack the ruins,
[04:18] ---
    the Seltsam still could.
[04:23] ---
    He went missing after
    the battle at the geosynchronous satellite.
[04:26] ---
    But even if we stop the cannon,
    unless we can defeat him...
[04:31] ---
    He'll attack the ruins
    and the relics on Eldora.
[04:36] ---
    It's just pure chance that
    we haven't encountered him again.
[04:40] ---
    And also...
[04:43] ---
    About Masaki Shido...
[04:46] ---
    I want to help him.
[04:49] ---
    Yes.
[04:51] ---
    He fought for Eldora. We can't abandon him.
[04:56] ---
    But that machine's specs...
[04:58] ---
    Yeah, it won't be easy,
    but we'll think of something.
[05:03] ---
    About that...
[05:10] ---
    - Is that a new machine?
    - I wanted to hear everyone's opinion.
[05:14] ---
    It looks pretty good.
    You put in a lot of effort.
[05:17] ---
    Its defenses seem really solid.
    And it's transformable too.
[05:21] ---
    You got creative with this one.
[05:22] ---
    But it's hard to balance
    the strength of its parts.
[05:25] ---
    Hiroto, could you teach me how to
    combine shields and weapons together,
[05:30] ---
    and how the Core Gundam is structured?
[05:33] ---
    I want to learn from that.
[05:35] ---
    I got it.
[05:37] ---
    You've been thinking hard.
[05:39] ---
    Well, I've been thinking about
    how I can be useful.
[05:43] ---
    Here's what this airhead came up with.
[05:47] ---
    Um...
[05:49] ---
    Can we ask Mr. Cuadorn to help us?
[05:53] ---
    Ask for his help?
    Isn't the sacred beast injured?
[05:57] ---
    Yes...
[05:59] ---
    Actually, I'm wondering if
    we can repair his wings.
[06:04] ---
    Using Gunpla parts, that is.
[06:17] ---
    - I've been waiting for you!
    - Hey, Freddie!
[06:20] ---
    - How are you, Cuadorn?
    - Same as ever.
[06:24] ---
    Oh, Mr. Muran asked for someone
    to pick him up so he can come up here.
[06:29] ---
    Sure, I'll go fetch him.
[06:31] ---
    It's not a festival today,
    but you're using the round one.
[06:35] ---
    Can that fly?
[06:37] ---
    It has a cape, of course it can fly!
    Leave it to me!
[06:40] ---
    I'm counting on you!
[06:44] ---
    Eh?
[06:48] ---
    Mr. Hiroto and Mr. Par aren't here today...
[06:52] ---
    - We're here.
    - Huh?
[06:54] ---
    It's me, Freddie!
[06:56] ---
    Mr. Hiroto? Mr. Par?
    You're inside those things?
[06:59] ---
    No. For today, this is me.
[07:02] ---
    What?
[07:07] ---
    It's a Diver Look. You can have
    any appearance you like in GBN.
[07:11] ---
    I see... So, for example,
    you could look like Mr. Par too?
[07:17] ---
    It's possible, but a bit troublesome.
[07:20] ---
    I can easily equip myself with items
    like ears and tails, though.
[07:24] ---
    Items? "Equip"?
[07:28] ---
    What does that mean?
[07:29] ---
    Like I said,
[07:31] ---
    we realized that the Gunpla parts
    we left in Eldora continued existing.
[07:38] ---
    So you want to fix my wings
    with the mirror sand?
[07:42] ---
    Yes.
[07:43] ---
    People of the Gunpla always come up
    with the weirdest ideas.
[07:49] ---
    Will I be able to fly?
[07:51] ---
    Probably... I mean, definitely!
[07:54] ---
    Then Masaki...
[07:55] ---
    You're right!
    We're thinking the same thing!
[08:00] ---
    I understand.
[08:01] ---
    Thank you so much!
[08:03] ---
    - Mr. Hiroto!
    - Yeah. We're ready.
[08:27] ---
    Hey, we're back!
[08:30] ---
    So this is Milaag Mountain.
[08:32] ---
    Maiya? Wasn't Mr. Muran coming?
[08:35] ---
    I'm here...
[08:40] ---
    A-Are you all right?
    You don't look too good!
[08:43] ---
    I feel a little queasy...
[08:45] ---
    Oh, sorry...
[08:47] ---
    I'm sorry! It's all because
    they let me ride in the Gunpla.
[08:50] ---
    Don't worry! I'll feel better in no time.
[08:52] ---
    Oh, okay...
[09:11] ---
    This is...
[09:12] ---
    We're using Gunpla to fix
    the sacred beast's wings!
[09:18] ---
    People of the Gunpla sure have
    some peculiar ideas.
[09:23] ---
    It's the real sacred beast, in the flesh!
[09:26] ---
    I'm pleased to make your acquaintance!
    I'm Maiya, Freddie's sister!
[09:31] ---
    Thank you for looking after my--
[09:33] ---
    So you're the level-headed sister
    who cooks well?
[09:36] ---
    Y-Yes!
[09:37] ---
    No, I mean... I'm not as good as you say.
[09:41] ---
    I also hear that
    you're fussy and short-tempered.
[09:46] ---
    Oh, I mean...
[09:48] ---
    That's right! I brought some refreshments,
    so shall we take a break, everyone?
[09:55] ---
    Thanks, Freddie! Ms. Maiya!
[09:57] ---
    It's a good time for a break.
[10:03] ---
    - Who are you?
    - Who are you?
[10:06] ---
    Well then, eat up!
[10:08] ---
    Wow, it's deep-fried N'ga berries!
[10:11] ---
    You're in a good mood today.
[10:13] ---
    Since she was young, Maiya's always
    loved stories about the sacred beast!
[10:19] ---
    Oh, so it's like meeting
    a celebrity you admire?
[10:22] ---
    Isn't that great?
    You got to meet the sacred beast.
[10:24] ---
    You're so noisy!
    Why can't you eat quietly?!
[10:33] ---
    I can still taste food even as a Haro!
[10:35] ---
    Me too. It's delicious.
[10:38] ---
    Aren't you going to eat, Cuadorn?
[10:41] ---
    I don't need to eat.
    I survive on the energy of the land.
[10:47] ---
    Just try one! Her cooking's really great.
[10:51] ---
    What?
[10:54] ---
    You're right. I'll have one, then.
[11:12] ---
    Mm. Delicious.
[11:15] ---
    I'm glad to hear that!
[11:20] ---
    How is the evacuation going, Mr. Muran?
[11:23] ---
    It's going smoothly for now,
    but some people think it's futile.
[11:27] ---
    After all, Seguri was attacked
    even though it was a relic.
[11:31] ---
    I see...
[11:32] ---
    I'll try to convince them.
[11:35] ---
    By the way,
    I met Gorus in one of the villages.
[11:38] ---
    Mr. Gorus?
[11:40] ---
    From the Resistance? Is he safe?
[11:43] ---
    He was badly injured,
[11:45] ---
    but he's traveling around
    to gather weapons and troops.
[11:49] ---
    He was happy to hear
    that the Build Divers came back.
[11:52] ---
    Really? That old man is so tough.
[11:55] ---
    But he's doing well, right?
[11:58] ---
    I heard something from Gorus.
[12:00] ---
    Masaki... Or rather,
    the Seltsam appeared again.
[12:04] ---
    So it's been on the surface?!
[12:06] ---
    Where did this happen?
[12:08] ---
    A village called Dreybau.
[12:10] ---
    But it's strange.
[12:12] ---
    According to the villagers,
[12:14] ---
    first it attacked their village,
    then it seemed to be protecting them.
[12:23] ---
    What's going on?
[12:25] ---
    Something's happening
    to Masaki Shido, is that it?
[12:29] ---
    Is the brainwashing wearing off?
[12:32] ---
    But, why...
[12:34] ---
    The oddly-shaped horns and arm
    attached to Masaki's Gunpla...
[12:39] ---
    They seem to be a wedge cleaving
    his consciousness to this world.
[12:48] ---
    Now you mention it, that time...
[12:55] ---
    If we can remove the wedge
    separating Masaki's mind from his body...
[13:02] ---
    He might be able to
    return to his original self!
[13:05] ---
    However...
[13:07] ---
    I'm sure that Masaki must be
    close to his limits.
[13:20] ---
    Well then, I'll leave the wing repairs
    to you two, Par, Hiroto.
[13:25] ---
    Kazami and I will head to
    the village Muran talked about
[13:29] ---
    and search for the Seltsam.
[13:31] ---
    Okay. We'll follow you once we're done.
[13:33] ---
    I'm impressed you found them.
[13:36] ---
    The Gunpla parts
    for the sacred beast's wings.
[13:41] ---
    Those are leftover parts
    from a failed customization.
[13:43] ---
    I'm glad I kept them.
[13:46] ---
    So you gained something even in failure.
[13:51] ---
    You can say that again.
[13:53] ---
    - Well, see you later.
    - Yes!
[14:04] ---
    All right, it's done!
[14:08] ---
    With this, I can take on
    Alus and the Seltsam!
[14:15] ---
    No, I should check
    the trimmings again, just in case.
[14:42] ---
    (Par: I'll be there as soon as I can.)
    (Kazami: Amuro, here I go!)
[14:57] ---
    Huh, Hiroto?
[14:59] ---
    I was wondering if you'd like to
    go to The Gundam Base with me.
[15:04] ---
    Sorry, I took a day off from work.
[15:07] ---
    I might have to take part in
    the bow ritual at Hoshiyama Shrine.
[15:12] ---
    Bow ritual? Oh, for archery club?
[15:15] ---
    Yeah! And I want to talk to my senior
    since she's experienced.
[15:19] ---
    I see. Later, then.
[15:24] ---
    But we can walk together for a while!
[15:27] ---
    - There's something I want to ask you.
    - Huh? Sure, that's fine.
[15:33] ---
    How did that thing go?
    Your offline meeting?
[15:38] ---
    That's what you want to ask about?
[15:40] ---
    Well, yeah...
[15:43] ---
    I wondered how it would feel to meet
    with people you've only seen in GBN.
[15:51] ---
    It feels the same.
[15:53] ---
    We're still the same people inside,
    talking about the same things.
[15:56] ---
    Is that so?
[15:58] ---
    But...
[16:01] ---
    I don't think we would've ended up
    like this if we'd met in real life first.
[16:10] ---
    Huh?
[16:12] ---
    What do you mean, "like this"?
[16:14] ---
    - Like sharing your deepest secrets?
    - What?
[16:18] ---
    Well... anyway, I'm glad that
    we met through GBN first.
[16:24] ---
    That's nice! You've become
    good friends with them!
[16:29] ---
    You know, I'm also grateful to you, Hinata.
[16:33] ---
    - You gave me the push.
    - Huh?
[16:36] ---
    I wanted to tell you this today.
[16:41] ---
    - I'm glad everything went well!
    - Yeah.
[16:44] ---
    The mission's gotten
    a little urgent, though.
[16:47] ---
    - "Urgent"?
    - Oh... Well...
[16:52] ---
    Is it dangerous?
[16:55] ---
    Yeah. I guess you could say that.
[17:05] ---
    Um...
[17:06] ---
    - You know...
    - What?
[17:10] ---
    My senior, who I'm gonna see,
    has a little brother...
[17:14] ---
    I heard he's been in a coma
    since he last logged in to GBN.
[17:18] ---
    But they don't know what caused it.
[17:22] ---
    Sorry, I don't mean to be a wet blanket.
[17:26] ---
    I just wanted you to be careful.
[17:29] ---
    - Is that Masaki Shido?
    - Huh?
[17:32] ---
    Yeah. He's Mizuki's little brother.
    Do you know him?
[17:40] ---
    Excuse me a moment.
[17:41] ---
    Hello, Mizuki?
[17:44] ---
    Sorry, Mukai. Can we meet another day?
    I have to stay in the hospital.
[17:52] ---
    Did something happen to your brother?
[17:57] ---
    Yeah, but the doctor
    treated him right away, so for now...
[18:02] ---
    I see.
[18:04] ---
    What about you, Mizuki? Are you all right?
[18:08] ---
    It's strange.
[18:11] ---
    I mean his heart...
    His pulse, it's fluctuating a lot...
[18:17] ---
    His expression never changes, but...
[18:22] ---
    I think he might be suffering.
[18:25] ---
    Mizuki...
[18:27] ---
    Oh, sorry. The doctor is calling for me.
    I'll be going now.
[18:34] ---
    What's the matter, Hiroto?
[18:35] ---
    Masaki Shido is in danger, May.
[18:38] ---
    - What?
    - Let's change the schedule.
[18:40] ---
    Tell Par to log in
    with his usual Diver Look.
[18:45] ---
    We may have less time than we thought.
[18:48] ---
    Hiroto?
[18:51] ---
    Hinata, this might be confusing,
    but please listen to me.
[18:56] ---
    What's wrong?
[18:58] ---
    There's another real world beyond GBN.
[19:02] ---
    I know it sounds unbelievable,
[19:04] ---
    but that was part of the reason for
    those communications failures.
[19:09] ---
    Masaki Shido was fighting there,
    and his mind was captured by the enemy.
[19:13] ---
    That's why he can't wake up.
[19:17] ---
    We're the only ones who can help him.
[19:20] ---
    That's why I have to go.
[19:24] ---
    Wait!
[19:28] ---
    Does that mean... Hiroto...
[19:32] ---
    if you can't save him,
    what will happen to you?
[19:38] ---
    Going to a place like that... I don't...
[19:42] ---
    It's okay. We'll save him.
[19:46] ---
    He fought for everyone on Eldora.
    I won't let him die.
[19:49] ---
    But...
[20:03] ---
    He's important to someone I care about.
[20:08] ---
    But still...
[20:10] ---
    - That's all the more reason.
    - What?
[20:18] ---
    He's like you, isn't he, Hiroto?
[20:21] ---
    Huh?
[20:25] ---
    Hiroto, you always do your best for others.
[20:32] ---
    That's what I'd like to keep up.
[20:39] ---
    Promise me you'll return safe and sound.
[20:43] ---
    Yeah. I'll save Masaki Shido for sure.
[20:48] ---
    Mizuki's voice was shaking.
    She must be really worried.
[20:53] ---
    I'll go and support Mizuki!
[20:57] ---
    Yeah, please do.
[21:01] ---
    - You'll help Mizuki...
    - ...and you'll help Masaki!
[21:32] ---
    It's finally complete.
[21:33] ---
    Yeah, thanks to you!
    I call it the Aegis Knight!
[21:38] ---
    Aegis... A shield?
[21:41] ---
    I didn't expect you to focus on defense.
[21:43] ---
    You don't care about
    destruction counts anymore?
[21:45] ---
    Of course, I do.
[21:47] ---
    But I'll try to draw out
    as many enemies as possible.
[21:50] ---
    That's what this machine's made for.
[21:52] ---
    So I'm counting on you, May! Hiroto!
[21:55] ---
    - Got it.
    - Sure.
[21:58] ---
    Anyway, your new armor
    looks like heavy machinery.
[22:02] ---
    It's for use against Gundam Frames.
[22:05] ---
    But I didn't expect to use this against
    a Universal Century-type enemy.
[22:09] ---
    It's perfect for hunting a demon.
[22:12] ---
    Maybe you're right.
[22:14] ---
    Once Mr. Cuadorn's wings are fixed,
    I'll join up with you guys!
[22:18] ---
    - Can you give me a hand, Freddie?
    - Yes!
[22:21] ---
    It's all up to you now!
[22:23] ---
    Sacred beast, we'll be waiting for you!
[22:26] ---
    I understand. However, if Masaki...
[22:30] ---
    What?
[22:32] ---
    Never mind. I'll do my best.
[22:34] ---
    All right! We're counting on you!
[22:41] ---
    May, Wodom Pod!
[22:43] ---
    Kazami, Aegis Knight!
[22:46] ---
    Veetwo Gundam, Saturn Armor, taking off!
[22:54] ---
    I'm starting. If it hurts...
[22:56] ---
    - Don't mind me, just do it.
    - O-Okay!
[23:10] ---
    If we fail to restore Masaki
    to his original self...
[23:13] ---
    I'll end him with my own hands.
[23:24] ---
    Mizuki!
[23:27] ---
    M-Mukai?
[23:29] ---
    What's the matter?
[23:34] ---
    Please let me stay by your side, Mizuki!
[23:37] ---
    Let's believe together!
[24:10] ---
    We'll recover Masaki Shido no matter what!
[24:16] ---
    You're burdened with sin.
[24:18] ---
