[00:02] ---
    A hospital visit?
[00:04] ---
    You're going to see Mizuki's brother?
[00:07] ---
    Yeah. We all want to go see
    for ourselves how he's doing.
[00:11] ---
    You do.
[00:13] ---
    I'm glad we recovered him safely
    and let him come back here.
[00:18] ---
    Thank you for coming back yourself.
[00:22] ---
    Thank you too, Hinata.
[00:24] ---
    For encouraging Ms. Mizuki.
[00:28] ---
    - No way!
    - It's true!
[00:32] ---
    You have club activities, right? See you.
[00:36] ---
    You're going to
    that Eldora place again, right?
[00:41] ---
    Huh? Yeah...
[00:44] ---
    Do Mr. Osamu and Ms. Yuriko
    know you're doing this?
[00:50] ---
    No, I haven't told them.
    I don't want them to worry.
[00:57] ---
    It's something that only we can do. Also...
[01:02] ---
    If I see this through,
[01:04] ---
    I think I can be that person
    you once said I was, Hinata.
[01:10] ---
    Someone who does his best for others...
[01:21] ---
    I see.
[01:26] ---
    It'll be all right.
    I'm sure you can do it, Hiroto!
[01:29] ---
    Okay. See you!
SIGN    Episode 23
    "Moment of Choice"
[03:18] ---
    I can't help but feel nervous.
[03:20] ---
    No kidding. We always thought
    he was such a scary guy.
[03:24] ---
    - You've met him already, right?
    - Yeah.
[03:28] ---
    I was there when we explained
    it to his family,
[03:31] ---
    but he didn't speak a word for himself.
[03:34] ---
    Maybe he's just quiet, or he wasn't
    well enough yet to talk.
[03:39] ---
    That's understandable. I'm sure
    he'll need some time to recover.
[03:48] ---
    So you guys are Build Divers?
[03:56] ---
    Masaki Shido?
[04:04] ---
    - I'm here to apologize and thank you.
    - What?
[04:13] ---
    H-Hey!
[04:16] ---
    What are you doing here?
[04:18] ---
    I said we'd be coming to
    see you at the hospital today.
[04:22] ---
    You're supposed to visit people
    when you owe them something.
[04:26] ---
    I figured you'd be meeting up here.
[04:28] ---
    - You shouldn't have...
    - I'm very grateful. Thank you.
[04:33] ---
    You even fixed Cuadorn's wings...
[04:38] ---
    It was still reckless of you!
[04:40] ---
    You rode your bike, even though
    you've been bedridden all this time...
[04:43] ---
    Nah. Human muscles may atrophy
    when you don't use them,
[04:47] ---
    but not those of hibernating bears.
[04:50] ---
    What are you talking about?
[04:53] ---
    You guys are going back to
    Eldora again, right?
[04:57] ---
    That's the plan.
[04:58] ---
    If we don't strike soon,
    that satellite cannon will...
[05:02] ---
    There's still time.
[05:04] ---
    B-But, according to Mr. Cuadorn...
[05:07] ---
    He estimated it'd take 500 hours
    for the satellite to recharge.
[05:11] ---
    We don't have much time.
[05:14] ---
    No. You guys damaged that tower
    during the last battle.
[05:19] ---
    It'll take him a bit longer
    since he has to repair it, too.
[05:24] ---
    - Really?!
    - That time...
[05:27] ---
    So it wasn't all for nothing.
[05:29] ---
    That's great to hear!
[05:31] ---
    Yes! We have more time to prepare!
[05:35] ---
    When they're defeated, wild bears
    will challenge the same opponent again.
[05:42] ---
    Over and over, never giving up.
    That's the kind of strength you have.
[05:48] ---
    I did things in Eldora
    that I can never take back.
[05:55] ---
    But...
[05:58] ---
    Even knowing it's unforgivable...
[06:03] ---
    Even so, I want to--
[06:06] ---
    Masaki!
[06:09] ---
    Sis?
[06:10] ---
    What are you doing?! You're not even in
    a condition to walk yet, dummy!
[06:14] ---
    W-Well, the muscles of a hibernating bear--
[06:17] ---
    - What?!
    - Oh, never mind.
[06:21] ---
    I'm sorry!
[06:23] ---
    I heard what happened. Thank you...
    Thank you for saving Masaki!
[06:30] ---
    I'm really grateful
    from the bottom of my heart!
[06:33] ---
    But please,
    don't involve Masaki in this anymore!
[06:39] ---
    Please...
[06:41] ---
    Sis...
[06:42] ---
    Please, I beg you!
[06:50] ---
    Just remember...
[06:52] ---
    You and your friends also
    saved a lot of people in Eldora.
[07:07] ---
    I see...
[07:09] ---
    Even though he was under mind control,
[07:12] ---
    I understand he can't help feeling guilty.
[07:15] ---
    I won't say any more,
    since he's better now.
[07:18] ---
    But you know, it did cross my mind.
[07:21] ---
    What if he came here to help us?
[07:24] ---
    Same here. But...
[07:27] ---
    We'll have to manage by ourselves.
[07:30] ---
    We'll stop Alus on our own.
[07:35] ---
    - Is the evacuation going well?
    - Yes.
[07:39] ---
    Stola and the others are working hard.
[07:43] ---
    That's a relief. The problem now is,
    how can we make it into space?
[07:49] ---
    Aren't we going up the Silver Tower,
    like last time?
[07:53] ---
    I'm sure we won't be able to
    use it so easily this time.
[07:56] ---
    I think the One-Eyes will be tightly
    guarding the orbital elevator.
[08:00] ---
    Th-They will...?
[08:02] ---
    Is there anything else we can use?
[08:04] ---
    Are there any shuttles or
    transmission systems buried in the ruins?
[08:09] ---
    It's been a long time since the secrets
    of the Ancients were lost.
[08:14] ---
    With these wings and my own power,
[08:17] ---
    I can take one Gunpla with me into space.
[08:22] ---
    But that's not enough...
[08:25] ---
    Yes. We won't be a match for Alus.
[08:28] ---
    There are lots of enemies.
    We have to combine our strength.
[08:31] ---
    Don't just go off by yourself, okay?
[08:34] ---
    I know.
[08:36] ---
    I owe you for saving Masaki's life.
[08:41] ---
    I intend to repay that favor.
[08:45] ---
    If only we could use that armor...
[08:48] ---
    - One that can go up to space?
    - Yeah.
[08:51] ---
    But it's not finished,
    and I haven't touched it in ages...
[08:55] ---
    I don't think I can handle it myself.
[08:59] ---
    But if everyone is willing
    to help me out...
[09:06] ---
    Of course!
[09:08] ---
    Me too! Just let me know
    if you need anything!
[09:10] ---
    I'll help as much as you like!
[09:12] ---
    It's hard to say no
    when Hiroto is begging us!
[09:16] ---
    I'm not begging.
[09:17] ---
    Don't be like that!
[09:19] ---
    Okay! I've come up with another plan!
[09:23] ---
    Well, it's actually kind of a dumb idea.
    But I suddenly thought of this!
[09:28] ---
    What is it?
[09:30] ---
    I'm sorry.
[09:32] ---
    Please wait.
[09:35] ---
    I have a suggestion.
[09:40] ---
    - May...
    - Alus...
[09:44] ---
    Do we have any other option
    besides destroying Alus?
[09:55] ---
    Another option...
[09:56] ---
    Besides destroying Alus? What do you mean?
[09:59] ---
    How can we end this without
    defeating the boss of the One-Eyes?
[10:05] ---
    What a joke!
[10:06] ---
    Don't you know how much suffering
    he's caused us all this time?!
[10:11] ---
    The One-Eyes destroyed our homelands,
[10:14] ---
    and the lightning from the moon
    cost us so many comrades...
[10:17] ---
    It's all because of Alus,
    the Nemesis in the Moon!
[10:22] ---
    If we don't destroy him, Eldora will...
[10:25] ---
    We'll stop him, no matter what.
[10:28] ---
    However, our objective is
    to restore peace to Eldora,
[10:34] ---
    not necessarily to destroy Alus.
[10:40] ---
    Cuadorn told us.
[10:43] ---
    Alus was originally a defense system
    created to protect Eldora.
[10:49] ---
    To protect Eldora?
[10:52] ---
    He protected the planet from invaders,
    and tended to its ravaged nature.
[10:57] ---
    He watched over it by himself
    until it was reborn.
[11:01] ---
    - Isn't that right?
    - Exactly.
[11:06] ---
    If his mind was formed according to
    the wishes of the Ancient Eldorans,
[11:11] ---
    the Creators who made him...
[11:15] ---
    That's...
[11:26] ---
    Have you not returned?
[11:30] ---
    My duty is to protect this planet.
[11:35] ---
    Alus himself has no evil intentions.
    He doesn't know what he's doing.
[11:40] ---
    Yet he still simple-mindedly
    pushes on with his mission.
[11:44] ---
    That frustrates me.
[11:48] ---
    But... He's the Nemesis in the Moon now!
[11:52] ---
    He's our enemy!
[11:55] ---
    He hurt Cuadorn, who was his loyal ally.
[11:58] ---
    Then he abducted Masaki,
    controlled, and tormented him!
[12:03] ---
    I can't bring myself
    to forgive someone like him...
[12:08] ---
    You want to get rid of him...
[12:10] ---
    Because you can't forgive
    or understand him.
[12:14] ---
    Then aren't we the same
    as what Alus has become?
[12:18] ---
    - That's...
    - If...
[12:21] ---
    If a system created to protect Eldora
    has mistakenly gone berserk,
[12:26] ---
    could we reset everything...
[12:29] ---
    No...
[12:32] ---
    Could we let it be reborn?
[12:35] ---
    Reborn...
[12:49] ---
    When he awoke from his sleep,
[12:52] ---
    if people like you were beside him,
    he might not have made this mistake.
[12:59] ---
    I couldn't help him.
[13:03] ---
    However...
[13:14] ---
    The bond between you two
    shouldn't break like this!
[13:23] ---
    A bond...
[13:27] ---
    The Ancients are gone.
[13:30] ---
    This land now belongs to the New People.
[13:34] ---
    My duty is to protect this planet.
[13:43] ---
    Protecting Eldora is my duty.
[13:48] ---
    That's the reason I exist.
[13:53] ---
    That is... my promise.
[14:21] ---
    How's this?
[14:24] ---
    Looks good! It seems quite durable too!
[14:27] ---
    Impressive!
[14:29] ---
    Thank you!
[14:33] ---
    Who told us to do this?!
[14:36] ---
    It was me, right?
    I shouldn't have said that...
[14:40] ---
    It's alright!
[14:42] ---
    There's no doubt
    you're building something great!
[14:44] ---
    - Yes.
    - Of course!
[14:46] ---
    Is this okay?
[14:52] ---
    Wow, thanks!
[14:55] ---
    It's the first time
    an EL-Diver's ever been here!
[14:58] ---
    I'll display it in the shop right now!
[15:00] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[15:02] ---
    - What bold handwriting!
    - Because of my suggestion,
[15:06] ---
    our mission has become
    even harder to accomplish.
[15:09] ---
    No, now we have no need to hesitate.
[15:11] ---
    He's right!
[15:13] ---
    Also, the fact that we have to
    conquer the satellite doesn't change.
[15:18] ---
    For sure! And my dumb idea
    became possible because of you!
[15:23] ---
    - Let's bet on it!
    - Yeah!
[15:25] ---
    That's exactly why we're friends!
[15:28] ---
    When you dare to try new challenges,
    you'll really grow up!
[15:33] ---
    Yeah! I knew you'd understand,
    Captain Zeon!
[15:42] ---
    We're slowly getting ready...
[15:44] ---
    I feel uneasy heading into
    actual battle like this, though.
[15:48] ---
    You're right. This will be harder
    than any mission we've had.
[15:52] ---
    But a rehearsal against
    CPU opponents won't do.
[15:56] ---
    - A rehearsal...
    - Well said.
[15:59] ---
    We need a stage resembling the
    satellite, and tough enemies to face.
[16:05] ---
    Can't we do a rehearsal against
    stronger opponents?
[16:10] ---
    Well sure, it'd be great if we could.
[16:13] ---
    But how do we actually set it up?
[16:15] ---
    Let's see.
[16:18] ---
    If that's the case, I have an idea.
[16:21] ---
    - What?
    - What?
[16:39] ---
    Your elbow is drooping.
[16:43] ---
    Your bad habits are showing.
[16:48] ---
    - How are you doing?
    - I'm far from being ready.
[16:51] ---
    At times like this, I think
    you were really awesome, Mizuki.
[16:55] ---
    You managed to hit a bullseye with
    one shot in front of a huge audience.
[17:00] ---
    I wonder if I'm really qualified
    to perform at the bow ritual...
[17:05] ---
    I'm sure you'll be able to do it, Mukai.
[17:07] ---
    I wonder...
[17:14] ---
    Hey, Mukai.
[17:16] ---
    You know...
[17:18] ---
    I never thought Masaki would be involved
    in things like that.
[17:25] ---
    I assumed he was just having fun
    with his friends in GBN.
[17:29] ---
    But that wasn't the case.
[17:31] ---
    Even your friend Hiroto Kuga
    and the others...
[17:36] ---
    I realize something awful
    happened there beyond GBN.
[17:40] ---
    And that Masaki did things
    it pains him to remember.
[17:45] ---
    I also know...
[17:48] ---
    I know he still wants to go back
    there despite that.
[17:58] ---
    I don't want to lose him...
[18:06] ---
    Aren't you worried, Mukai?
[18:09] ---
    About Hiroto.
[18:12] ---
    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't.
[18:16] ---
    But there's no choice.
[18:19] ---
    I want to cheer him on,
    because he's that kind of person.
[18:28] ---
    That's why I admire him.
[18:36] ---
    Because he's someone who
    does his best for others.
[18:44] ---
    So I'll do my best in the bow ritual, too.
[18:47] ---
    Even though I can't say it clearly...
[18:49] ---
    When you took part in
    the bow ritual, Mizuki...
[18:52] ---
    You seemed to carry
    everyone's wishes on your back.
[18:55] ---
    I felt encouraged looking at you.
[19:04] ---
    I feel like shooting this arrow will
    let me help him somehow.
[19:13] ---
    Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome!
[19:16] ---
    Nice to meet you, I'm Magee!
    Let's be friends!
[19:19] ---
    H-Hello...
[19:21] ---
    - You're Kazamin, right?
    - Y-Yeah...
[19:24] ---
    And you're Par, right? It's easy to tell,
    since you look just as May said!
[19:29] ---
    To think Ms. May's guardian is
    the famous Diver Magee!
[19:33] ---
    It's an honor to meet you!
[19:35] ---
    Oh my, you sure say things
    that make me happy!
[19:38] ---
    Bee! Serve Par a dairy soda
    with all of my love!
[19:41] ---
    It's my treat!
[19:44] ---
    And... You're Hiroto, right?
[19:50] ---
    I see. You have a nice face.
[19:53] ---
    My dear May looks
    much more expressive than before.
[19:58] ---
    It's all because of you guys.
[19:59] ---
    Really?
[20:02] ---
    So you need a rehearsal booking, eh?
[20:05] ---
    Leave it to me.
[20:07] ---
    Everyone's so happy to
    have a chance to battle with you guys!
[20:11] ---
    Is that so?
[20:12] ---
    They're all getting fired up
    right now! Look.
[20:18] ---
    Huh, this is mine? Why?!
[20:21] ---
    Why?! It's because I shared
    your video on my Gunstagram!
[20:27] ---
    Uh-huh... Whaaa?!
SIGN    (Captain Kazami's Walk This Way! vol.18) (10,120,718 Views)
[20:34] ---
    What?! When was this?!
[20:36] ---
    That's incredible!
[20:37] ---
    You didn't know?
[20:38] ---
    W-Well... I haven't had time
    to check it recently...
[20:42] ---
    This must be a dream!
[20:44] ---
    Nobody thinks this is happening
    in real life, though.
[20:47] ---
    Oh... That makes sense.
[20:50] ---
    We all thought it was
    a Story mission at first, too.
[20:54] ---
    But everyone's really interested in it!
[20:56] ---
    The comment section is
    exploding with ideas on
[20:59] ---
    how to conquer the satellite
    and the Gunpla army.
[21:05] ---
    Even if they think this is a game mission,
    something must be affecting them.
[21:11] ---
    It's your feelings.
    Your strong determination
[21:16] ---
    to protect Eldora and
    help the Eldoran people.
[21:22] ---
    I'm kidding! They may just be
    Gunpla fanatics, that's all.
[21:26] ---
    So drag in as many as you like!
[21:30] ---
    Yes!
[21:32] ---
    Everyone, please give us more advice!
[21:34] ---
    We gotta succeed, no matter what!
[21:37] ---
    (Is this new?)
[21:38] ---
    (Nu and Arche this time?)
[21:40] ---
    (All the best, as always!)
[21:42] ---
    Awesome...
[21:44] ---
    This is awesome!
[21:46] ---
    So with that...
[21:47] ---
    I've prepared an excellent and special
    rehearsal stage to clear this mission!
[21:56] ---
    The opposing Divers are
    all formidable overdogs, too!
[22:00] ---
    So prepare yourselves!
[22:03] ---
    Just how wide is your Mama's
    network of people...?
[22:08] ---
    You know what?
    We must have these kids join in.
[22:27] ---
    Build... Divers...
[24:16] ---
    Now I know what was actually
    happening behind that battle.
[24:20] ---
    Another Sarah, and another me.
[24:23] ---
    This is a fight
    we still have to finish, and...
[24:27] ---
    Next episode, "Build Divers."
