[00:01] ---
    And we have already
    taken the EL-Diver into custody.
[00:06] ---
    The Coalition has...no...
[00:09] ---
    I have but one wish.
[00:12] ---
    I will protect GBN.
[00:15] ---
    This is unbelievable...
[00:18] ---
    Mr. Kyoya captured Sarah.
[00:20] ---
    Why is she just standing there
    without resisting?
[00:25] ---
    Let's rescue her!
[00:26] ---
    We'll go see Mr. Kyoya
    and get her back.
[00:29] ---
    But to do that, we need to find
    a way to save both Sarah and GBN.
[00:34] ---
    Mr. Kyoya will understand
    if we talk to him.
[00:36] ---
    Even if he doesn't, we'll take her.
[00:38] ---
    GBN comes after that--
[00:39] ---
    Calm down, Momo.
[00:41] ---
    Even if you do that,
    the Coalition will catch you,
[00:44] ---
    or the administration will log you out,
    and it'll be over.
[00:48] ---
    It'll be over...?
[00:50] ---
    If they blacklist your ID,
    you can never log in again.
[00:55] ---
    Then who'll rescue Sarah?
[01:01] ---
    - Riku!
    - Riku!
[01:03] ---
    What now, Riku? Sarah is...
[01:05] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[01:08] ---
    Riku, did something happen?
[01:12] ---
    No, nothing happened.
[01:22] ---
    Sarah...
[01:27] ---
    KO-1!
[01:29] ---
    Listen to me, everyone.
[01:31] ---
    I might be able to
    find a way to save Sarah.
[03:06] ---
    "Devoted Heart"
[03:11] ---
    Based on his proposal,
[03:13] ---
    we're working as fast as we can
    to create an executable program.
[03:17] ---
    This is a simulation of transferring
    Sarah the EL-Diver to the real world.
[03:24] ---
    The real world?
[03:25] ---
    We're going to salvage her
    personality data into cyberspace
[03:29] ---
    and download it to a GPD machine.
[03:33] ---
    After that, we delete the
    Sarah factors scattered across GBN.
[03:38] ---
    If this succeeds, GBN will be secure,
[03:42] ---
    and we can save Sarah.
[03:45] ---
    But can you output personality data
    just like optional parts?
[03:51] ---
    Right.
[03:52] ---
    Normally, GBN's system
[03:54] ---
    isn't built to output
    massive amounts of data.
[03:58] ---
    So we need a tool
    to interfere with GBN's system.
[04:02] ---
    And that's the Build Decal.
[04:06] ---
    Build...Decal?
[04:08] ---
    We can output Sarah's
    personality data from GBN
[04:13] ---
    to the outside via this Build Decal.
[04:16] ---
    Then we can implant it
    in an artificial body.
[04:20] ---
    This is the only option
    we have to save Sarah.
[04:24] ---
    Hold on.
[04:27] ---
    This Build Decal...
[04:30] ---
    Could it be...
[04:31] ---
    Yes. It's based on the Break Decal.
[04:38] ---
    So that's the latest news from GBN?
[04:41] ---
    The situation is urgent.
[04:43] ---
    This is something
    only you and I can do.
[04:47] ---
    That Sarah girl
    who destroyed the Break Decals
[04:51] ---
    is now trying to destroy GBN, huh?
[04:55] ---
    It'd be more interesting
    to let it play out.
[04:58] ---
    Tsukasa...
[05:00] ---
    However...
[05:01] ---
    It wouldn't be fun
    if it just perished on its own.
[05:05] ---
    It's not like
    I owe them anything, but...
[05:11] ---
    KO-1, you knew the person
    who distributed the Break Decals?
[05:16] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
    It's not like I was trying to hide it.
[05:19] ---
    Are you sure it'll be OK?
[05:21] ---
    Yeah.
[05:22] ---
    It includes the same
    IC chip as a Break Decal,
[05:26] ---
    but there's no illegal code.
[05:28] ---
    You have my guarantee as well.
[05:30] ---
    It won't have any negative effects
    on GBN's Main Program.
[05:35] ---
    Depending on who uses it,
    a tool can be good or evil.
[05:39] ---
    - This time...
    - This time...
[05:41] ---
    it'll be used for good.
[05:43] ---
    Can we believe that?
[05:45] ---
    Yeah.
[05:47] ---
    Of course.
[05:50] ---
    Alright.
[05:52] ---
    Yes!
[05:53] ---
    Now we can save Sarah.
[05:55] ---
    - This is great, Riku.
    - Yeah.
[05:57] ---
    But...
[05:58] ---
    I'm sorry if I've raised your hopes,
[06:01] ---
    but this is all purely theoretical.
[06:04] ---
    The chances of actually succeeding...
[06:06] ---
    are not high at all.
[06:09] ---
    Not high?
[06:11] ---
    Wh-What are the chances?
[06:13] ---
    At this point...
[06:15] ---
    5%.
[06:17] ---
    5%?
[06:19] ---
    As Sarah's grown, the data volume
    of her personality has become huge.
[06:24] ---
    When the released data is salvaged,
[06:27] ---
    there's a risk that
    this data will be broken up.
[06:31] ---
    And the dispersed data
    could flow back into GBN
[06:35] ---
    and simultaneously trigger
    even greater bugs.
[06:40] ---
    If that happens,
    her personality will disappear,
[06:43] ---
    and GBN will collapse.
[06:45] ---
    It will be the worst outcome.
[06:48] ---
    I'll try to brush up the program
    as much as I can,
[06:52] ---
    but the administration will probably
    complete its patch in a few days.
[06:57] ---
    Anyways, we don't have time.
[06:59] ---
    So we were excited for nothing?
[07:01] ---
    Oh gosh...
[07:03] ---
    Even so...
[07:05] ---
    Even so, hope isn't lost, right?
[07:09] ---
    Yeah, you said it.
[07:13] ---
    Riku.
[07:14] ---
    - Riku!
    - Riku!
[07:27] ---
    We've found a way to
    save both Sarah and GBN.
[07:32] ---
    Please listen to what I have to say.
[07:36] ---
    We received that message as well.
[07:39] ---
    But with a 5% success rate,
    it's out of the question.
[07:43] ---
    Well, it's not zero--
[07:44] ---
    That's a 95% chance of failure.
[07:48] ---
    Even you wouldn't dare force
    every Diver to take such a risk.
[07:53] ---
    No, but...
[07:54] ---
    You're sentimental, Champ.
[07:57] ---
    I know that even with
    the most difficult missions,
[08:00] ---
    you rush in if there's
    the slightest possibility.
[08:04] ---
    But this time...
[08:06] ---
    you cannot try again
    after damaging out.
[08:08] ---
    If you fail, we lose everything.
[08:12] ---
    But...
[08:13] ---
    Please understand.
[08:15] ---
    I know I said that I'd consider
    another solution.
[08:18] ---
    But that doesn't mean
    something with a 5% chance.
[08:32] ---
    Riku's gone?
[08:34] ---
    Yeah. It looks
    like he hasn't logged out,
[08:37] ---
    so maybe he went off alone.
[08:38] ---
    Wait...
[08:40] ---
    The 00 Sky is missing!
[08:42] ---
    He took off?
[09:04] ---
    In GBN, all kinds of people can
    become friends and laugh together.
[09:08] ---
    It's such a wonderful world.
[09:12] ---
    It's precious to everyone.
[09:16] ---
    Riku wishes for...
[09:19] ---
    a place where everyone can smile.
[09:22] ---
    Then I should...
[09:40] ---
    As I've told you before,
    this floor is
[09:43] ---
    sealed with Avalon's administrative
    rights and you can't move elsewhere.
[09:48] ---
    But leaving this place is easy.
[09:52] ---
    You simply have to log out.
[09:57] ---
    Aren't you ready
    to tell me what you want?
[10:05] ---
    Yes.
[10:14] ---
    Please erase me.
[10:18] ---
    Because we can protect
    everyone's smile that way.
[10:41] ---
    "She's not human."
[10:44] ---
    How could anyone say that?
[10:53] ---
    Who's there?
[10:55] ---
    It's Riku of Build Divers.
[10:58] ---
    Please let me see
    the champ. Mr. Kyoya Kujo.
[11:03] ---
    No. Get out.
[11:04] ---
    He won't see any outsiders
    until the update patch is executed.
[11:07] ---
    Please. We're running out of time!
[11:09] ---
    I said no!
[11:11] ---
    I was told not to let you see him.
[11:13] ---
    Please, let me see him!
[11:16] ---
    I said no.
[11:17] ---
    Let him through.
[11:25] ---
    Did you read my message?
[11:29] ---
    Sarah is unharmed, right?
[11:32] ---
    We found a way to save
    both Sarah and GBN.
[11:36] ---
    The success rate is 5%, right?
[11:38] ---
    You think we'd risk GBN
    by betting on something so unreliable?
[11:44] ---
    The possibility isn't zero.
[11:47] ---
    If there's even the slightest chance,
    I want to bet on that.
[11:52] ---
    And I'm sure
    the success rate will go up.
[11:55] ---
    Then GBN's safety will--
[11:58] ---
    On what grounds?
[12:00] ---
    That's just wishful thinking.
[12:03] ---
    The rushed program's success rate
    could only go up a tiny amount.
[12:09] ---
    No matter how pitiably you beg,
    you won't convince anyone like that.
[12:15] ---
    Then, Mr. Kyoya...
[12:17] ---
    Why are you meeting me
    like this right now?
[12:21] ---
    Listening to me would be useless...
[12:24] ---
    You're right.
[12:26] ---
    The Coalition has marked you
    as security risk.
[12:30] ---
    I wouldn't want the Game Master to
    know I was meeting you like this.
[12:37] ---
    However...
[12:39] ---
    as a player who loves GBN,
    I wanted to tell you this.
[12:45] ---
    The EL-Diver is in the Coalition's
    custody, not the administration's.
[12:52] ---
    And a resolution among GBN players
[12:55] ---
    isn't made by majority vote
    or someone's leading voice.
[13:01] ---
    This is something that you yourself
    have experienced here in GBN.
[13:09] ---
    If you want to take
    a one-in-a-million chance,
[13:13] ---
    then you'll have to show that you
    have the power to carry it through.
[13:18] ---
    If you can do that,
    a new future may open up for you.
[13:22] ---
    Mr. Kyoya.
[13:25] ---
    That is all I have to say to you.
[13:35] ---
    Is something wrong?
[13:38] ---
    Sarah!
[13:43] ---
    Riku?
[13:44] ---
    We found a way to save you.
[13:47] ---
    So hang in there
    for just a little longer.
[13:50] ---
    Don't lose hope.
[13:52] ---
    I promise that we'll save you.
[13:57] ---
    We'll come save you no matter what.
[14:00] ---
    So wait for us.
[14:04] ---
    Riku...
[14:08] ---
    Please come this way.
[14:25] ---
    - Riku!
    - Riku!
[14:26] ---
    - Are you OK?
    - We were so worried.
[14:29] ---
    Yeah.
[14:30] ---
    Is something wrong?
[14:33] ---
    We can save Sarah.
[14:36] ---
    Let's save Sarah.
[14:39] ---
    Riku...
[14:46] ---
    Magee, thank you for coming.
[14:49] ---
    No problem. The members of
    my force act as they please.
[14:54] ---
    But most other major forces
    were told to join the Coalition,
[15:00] ---
    so they might not be able to help.
[15:03] ---
    That's too bad.
[15:05] ---
    Hey, sorry to interrupt.
[15:07] ---
    - Mr. Tiger!
    - Why are you here?
[15:10] ---
    What do you mean "why?"
    You guys called me here.
[15:13] ---
    Well, yes, but...
[15:15] ---
    Didn't the Coalition call on you?
[15:18] ---
    Oh, yeah yeah.
[15:20] ---
    But I don't like the way
    they're doing things.
[15:23] ---
    Force Toraburyu is in no position
    to refuse joining the Coalition,
[15:27] ---
    but I act on my own sense of justice.
[15:30] ---
    I left Toraburyu to my disciples
    and quit the force.
[15:35] ---
    Now I'm a freelance lone wolf,
    but I'm sure I can be useful.
[15:41] ---
    Mr. Tiger, thank you so much!
[15:43] ---
    You'll be such a big help.
[15:46] ---
    I was thinking of bringing Shahry,
    but I couldn't get a hold of him.
[15:51] ---
    I see. That's a shame.
[15:53] ---
    By the way, who are these kids?
[15:56] ---
    - Wow!
    - It's the real Tigerwolf.
[15:59] ---
    They're Chat Noir Neo.
[16:01] ---
    They're members of my former force.
[16:03] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[16:05] ---
    What a frivolous bunch, joining
    in a losing battle like this.
[16:10] ---
    Yeah, but you came too.
[16:12] ---
    We've formed
    an alliance with Build Divers.
[16:17] ---
    And Sarah's our friend.
[16:19] ---
    I'm their guardian,
    so it's natural I help her.
[16:24] ---
    Everyone...thank you.
[16:27] ---
    Then let me explain
    the situation once again.
[16:31] ---
    Sarah is currently
    being held inside Avalon's Force Nest.
[16:37] ---
    We've also received word that
    the update program to erase her
[16:40] ---
    will be completed tomorrow.
[16:43] ---
    But they won't use it right away.
[16:46] ---
    They'll wait for the Raid Battle.
[16:48] ---
    For greater reliability,
[16:50] ---
    they've chosen the day they can
    use the server's power to the fullest.
[16:53] ---
    Rescue the captured princess
    during GBN's big event, huh?
[16:58] ---
    They'll make us play bad guys,
[17:01] ---
    so we may as well be supervillains.
[17:04] ---
    You certainly look like a bad guy.
[17:06] ---
    What does that mean?
[17:08] ---
    3 days until the Raid Battle.
[17:10] ---
    We don't have much time left.
[17:13] ---
    But let's do everything we can.
[17:18] ---
    I'm excited for the Raid Battle.
[17:20] ---
    But will things be OK
    with that EL-Diver?
[17:24] ---
    The administration and the Coalition
    will take care of it.
[17:55] ---
    This is a simulation based on
    the program's final version.
[17:59] ---
    The success rate is...
[18:03] ---
    12%?
[18:05] ---
    Not 120%?
[18:07] ---
    We did all that we could
    in the limited time we had, but...
[18:12] ---
    Even so...
[18:14] ---
    the possibility has
    more than doubled now.
[18:19] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[18:20] ---
    Yes, that's the spirit.
[18:23] ---
    Let's do it, Riku.
[18:24] ---
    Yeah. Let's do it!
[18:26] ---
    I'll support you as much as I can
    to carry out the operation.
[18:32] ---
    OK.
[18:37] ---
    We'll execute it today.
[18:40] ---
    Yes.
[18:51] ---
    Coalition members.
[18:53] ---
    GBN's administration
    has completed the update program.
[18:58] ---
    Today, we will execute
    that update program.
[19:02] ---
    And then GBN won't be in danger of
    collapsing due to the EL-Diver.
[19:13] ---
    Champ. Members of the Coalition.
[19:21] ---
    I ask you once again.
[19:23] ---
    Please give back our teammate Sarah.
[19:28] ---
    We told you that we cannot do that.
[19:30] ---
    The existence of the EL-Diver
    will destroy the GBN world.
[19:35] ---
    The possibility is small,
[19:37] ---
    but we won't let GBN be destroyed
    or Sarah be erased.
[19:41] ---
    We have a plan for this.
[19:44] ---
    Stop lying!
[19:45] ---
    That's impossible!
[19:47] ---
    The possibility you speak of
    is a mere 5%, no?
[19:52] ---
    We can't entrust GBN's future
    to such a small possibility.
[19:57] ---
    But the possibility isn't zero.
[20:00] ---
    Are you saying that it's worth
    betting on that small chance?
[20:03] ---
    It is!
[20:05] ---
    - Nonsense!
    - You wanna ruin GBN?
[20:08] ---
    Stop being selfish!
[20:10] ---
    This is absurd.
[20:11] ---
    Your plan's success is
    as likely as a non-ranking force
[20:17] ---
    with just a few machines
    beating an army of top-rankers.
[20:22] ---
    The chances are slim to none.
[20:24] ---
    Then what if we can
    make that come true?
[20:28] ---
    What if we prove that
    we can make the impossible possible?
[20:32] ---
    Then will you bet on our plan?
[20:34] ---
    Yes, if such a thing is possible.
[20:39] ---
    Then let's fight.
[20:41] ---
    We'll decide through Gunpla Battle.
[20:44] ---
    This is GBN.
[20:46] ---
    A resolution among players isn't made
    by majority vote or any leading voice.
[20:51] ---
    Let us decide with Gunpla Battle.
[20:53] ---
    Let us prove we have the power to
    realize a one-in-a-million chance!
[20:58] ---
    - What are you saying?
    - Very well.
[21:02] ---
    We'll give you that chance.
[21:04] ---
    The Force Battle format
    will be an uneven flag battle.
[21:07] ---
    The battlefield will be the Metronia
    Server, where our Force Nest is.
[21:11] ---
    Coalition member forces, Build Divers,
    and their allies may participate.
[21:17] ---
    Our victory condition
    is to retrieve Sarah, the flag.
[21:21] ---
    Our victory condition
    is to wipe out you Build Divers.
[21:26] ---
    The fighting strength ratio
    is over 10,000 to 1.
[21:28] ---
    If you're able to defeat us,
[21:31] ---
    we'll bet on the plan
    you came up with.
[21:34] ---
    What are you saying, Kyoya?!
[21:36] ---
    Do you think we might lose?
[21:38] ---
    That's not the point!
[21:40] ---
    I see.
[21:42] ---
    So this is how you'll settle things.
[21:45] ---
    Very well.
[21:47] ---
    Then we shall repulse them!
[21:49] ---
    No need for such a joke!
[21:52] ---
    - We'll decide our future...
    - We'll decide our future...
[21:54] ---
    - with this Gunpla Battle!
    - with this Gunpla Battle!
[21:58] ---
    Gunpla Battle accepted.
[22:00] ---
    Switching to Force Battle Mode.
[22:05] ---
    - Take your positions.
    - Roger!
[22:08] ---
    If the champ and the others say so,
    then fine.
[22:12] ---
    What can a few machines do anyway?
[22:15] ---
    We won't hold back.
[22:17] ---
    I'm grateful, Captain.
[22:19] ---
    If this will satisfy you...
[22:23] ---
    then I'll give it my all.
[22:25] ---
    Yes.
[22:27] ---
    If he's now me, gladly rushing in
    on the slightest possibility,
[22:32] ---
    then I'll suppress myself and become
    a sword that protects the world.
[22:39] ---
    Here we go!
[22:40] ---
    Guard the surroundings
    of all the server gates.
[22:43] ---
    Both land and air routes.
[22:46] ---
    Widen the search range,
[22:47] ---
    and find Build Divers' location
    and direction of attack.
[22:52] ---
    Seal the lunar surface gate, too!
[22:58] ---
    We appreciate your help.
[23:00] ---
    I just like people who
    take on difficult missions.
[23:05] ---
    If you Build Divers are going to
    make the impossible possible again...
[23:11] ---
    then I want to see it!
[23:43] ---
    Machines approaching from air.
    3 of them.
[23:47] ---
    Identifying machines.
[23:49] ---
    It's Build Divers!
[23:50] ---
    What?
[23:51] ---
    From above?
[23:52] ---
    Prepare to intercept!
[24:03] ---
    We're coming.
[24:05] ---
    Just wait for us, Sarah.
[24:11] ---
    The battle to save Sarah
    has finally begun.
[24:14] ---
    Watch out, Riku.
[24:16] ---
    That guy still hasn't shown up.
[24:18] ---
    Are you talking about me?
[24:20] ---
    Mr. Shahry!
[24:21] ---
    Does that mean Mr. Shahry
    also wants Sarah to--
[24:23] ---
    Wait, Riku.
[24:24] ---
    My fists will ask that question for you.
[24:27] ---
    Then I shall answer with my love.
[24:30] ---
    Next episode, The Fateful Two.
[24:33] ---
    I will show you...
[24:35] ---
    you can't defeat the power of my love.
