[00:03] ---
    Is that enough...?
[00:06] ---
    But I can't think of any other way
    to clear the mission.
[00:10] ---
    Do you have any alternative ideas?
[00:13] ---
    No. I just wanted to make sure.
[00:16] ---
    Alright. See you on
    the day of the mission, then.
[00:36] ---
    Why is this memory...
[00:39] ---
    coming back now?
[02:13] ---
    "Abyss of Isolation"
[02:21] ---
    Yes?
[02:22] ---
    Huh? Hiroto?
[02:24] ---
    I thought you'd be at The Gundam Base.
[02:27] ---
    I'm going in the afternoon.
[02:28] ---
    Don't you have your club?
[02:31] ---
    I'm practicing on my own today.
    I came to drop this off.
[02:34] ---
    Grandpa went to Hokkaido for
    a conference. A souvenir.
[02:38] ---
    Ray fins.
[02:41] ---
    Dad loves these. Thanks.
[02:48] ---
    It smells like something's burning.
[02:50] ---
    Oh, it must be burning.
[02:53] ---
    This is your home, isn't it?
[02:55] ---
    I was told not to butt in.
[02:58] ---
    Dad's cooking lunch today.
[03:01] ---
    He met his due date,
    so he's got some time.
[03:04] ---
    I see.
[03:06] ---
    And how's your mother?
[03:09] ---
    She took on an urgent job,
    and now she's in deadline hell.
[03:13] ---
    Wow.
[03:14] ---
    They respect each other
    and help out whenever they can.
[03:20] ---
    What a lovely couple.
[03:22] ---
    Huh?
[03:24] ---
    Aren't you praising them
    a bit too much?
[03:26] ---
    I really mean it.
[03:29] ---
    They work hard even at
    things they're bad at,
[03:32] ---
    and repay each other's efforts.
[03:34] ---
    They're the ultimate team.
[03:41] ---
    Is everything OK?
[03:43] ---
    I dunno...
[03:46] ---
    Sometimes, it's best not
    to try things you're bad at.
[03:51] ---
    Seriously?
[03:53] ---
    There're times you'd better work
    on your own to accomplish a goal.
[03:58] ---
    Ow! That's hot!
[04:01] ---
    - I'm going to help out.
    - So hot!
[04:03] ---
    Thanks for this. See you.
[04:05] ---
    Hot!
[04:07] ---
    Good luck with Gunpla Battle.
[04:10] ---
    Good luck with your club too.
[04:17] ---
    There're times you'd better work
    on your own to accomplish a goal.
[04:31] ---
    I have to do it.
[04:33] ---
    No one else.
[04:40] ---
    As we explained before,
[04:42] ---
    our goal here is to eliminate
    the One-eyes lurking underwater.
[04:48] ---
    The mission objective is to secure
    a path to the Silver Tower.
[04:54] ---
    But if you get too close,
[04:55] ---
    the other enemies that
    defend the tower may appear.
[05:00] ---
    Please be careful.
[05:02] ---
    Understood.
[05:05] ---
    So how's it going?
[05:07] ---
    The festival prep, I mean.
[05:09] ---
    It's going well.
[05:11] ---
    We have lots to do,
    but I had to leave,
[05:14] ---
    so Sis was a little upset.
[05:17] ---
    Oh yeah?
[05:18] ---
    I can come help
    after the mission today.
[05:21] ---
    Really? Sis would be delighted!
[05:24] ---
    I'm not doing it to make her happy.
[05:28] ---
    Um, Mr. Hiroto...
[05:29] ---
    - Huh?
    - Huh?
[05:30] ---
    Are you really going alone?
[05:35] ---
    Mr. Hiroto?
[05:38] ---
    Sorry.
    I was thinking about tactics.
[05:43] ---
    Excuse me. I'm stepping out.
[05:50] ---
    There must be a way to not
    put everything on his shoulders.
[05:55] ---
    But it's natural for a machine with
    alternate parts for water combat
[05:59] ---
    to handle the underwater battle.
[06:02] ---
    Well, I'd rather not go out to sea
    if I don't have to.
[06:05] ---
    If he's fine with it,
    then I'll play a supporting role.
[06:11] ---
    But we were on a bit more
    of a roll last time...
[06:18] ---
    Are we that similar?
[06:20] ---
    - Huh?
    - You said Hiroto and I are similar.
[06:24] ---
    You were listening?
[06:26] ---
    Umm...
[06:27] ---
    You're similar alright.
[06:29] ---
    Like how blunt you guys are,
[06:31] ---
    or how you do things on your own
    when we're trying to be a team.
[06:37] ---
    I don't think it's all true.
[06:39] ---
    - Huh?
    - Huh?
[06:41] ---
    You know, Towana and Stola
    always skip out on
[06:45] ---
    helping Old Jiric in the fields.
[06:46] ---
    But those two
    are completely different.
[06:50] ---
    Wait... What?
[06:52] ---
    How should I know?
[06:54] ---
    Towana's young,
[06:55] ---
    so he doesn't understand
    the importance of fieldwork.
[06:59] ---
    But Stola's older,
    and he still skips out.
[07:02] ---
    So Ms. May is like Towana,
    and Mr. Hiroto is like Stola.
[07:08] ---
    Similar but different, huh?
    Interesting.
[07:11] ---
    Wait, I don't get it at all.
[07:14] ---
    I'd never participated
    in team battles before.
[07:18] ---
    It seems Hiroto has experience
    but is deliberately avoiding them.
[07:22] ---
    Yes! That's it!
[07:24] ---
    Jeez, then just say so from the start.
    Your talk's too roundabout.
[07:29] ---
    But I wonder why
    Mr. Hiroto is like that.
[07:38] ---
    Alright, let's do this!
[07:40] ---
    We won't be doing much, though.
[07:43] ---
    I've gotta be in the mood.
[07:50] ---
    What?
[07:51] ---
    Nothing.
[07:53] ---
    Good luck.
[07:58] ---
    Huh?
[07:59] ---
    Freddie. What are you doing?
[08:01] ---
    Oh, umm...
[08:03] ---
    I wanted to see your fighting
    up close today.
[08:06] ---
    Yeah, but...
[08:08] ---
    Why not?
[08:09] ---
    He was with me last time.
    We'll take turns.
[08:13] ---
    Freddie, don't get in his way.
[08:16] ---
    Of course!
[08:18] ---
    Justice Knight, going out!
[08:21] ---
    Marsfour Gundam. Mercury Armor.
    Taking off.
[08:34] ---
    It's drift ice.
[08:40] ---
    I knew it! That's an orbital elevator.
[08:43] ---
    That means the next stage
    is outer space.
[08:46] ---
    Things are finally
    becoming Gundam-like.
[08:52] ---
    Enemy machine.
[08:53] ---
    It's fast. We've already been found.
[08:58] ---
    A shark?!
[08:59] ---
    Looks like I can attack it from above.
[09:07] ---
    Huh?
[09:14] ---
    It's huge...
[09:21] ---
    That's no shark. It's a ray!
[09:23] ---
    Is Mr. Hiroto really taking on
    that huge machine alone?
[09:27] ---
    I've experienced
    battles like this before.
[09:30] ---
    Freddie, hold on.
[09:32] ---
    Oh, yes...
[09:37] ---
    I'll do it.
[09:38] ---
    Core change.
[09:40] ---
    Mars to Mercury!
[09:54] ---
    Bye, Hinata.
[09:56] ---
    Yeah, see you.
[10:03] ---
    The date was... Let's see...
[10:10] ---
    The 2nd Coalition of
    Volunteers battle...?
[10:21] ---
    I knew it. Communications don't work.
[10:23] ---
    Is that underwater type jamming it?
[10:25] ---
    That might be one of
    the machine's characteristics.
[10:29] ---
    Either way, we must do what we can.
[10:33] ---
    Yeah. That Seltsam thing
    might appear again.
[10:55] ---
    It's hard!
[11:00] ---
    Mr. Hiroto, are you alright?
[11:02] ---
    My machine's faster.
[11:04] ---
    If I repeat hit-and-run attacks...
[11:14] ---
    Good.
[11:17] ---
    Yes! Mission cleared!
[11:19] ---
    You're good.
[11:20] ---
    Glad we had your help.
[11:23] ---
    I had fun too.
[11:29] ---
    What is that? It's huge.
[11:31] ---
    A Gau? Is that the boss?
[11:33] ---
    No, it says we cleared the mission
    with that Dopp we took out.
[11:36] ---
    It's a bonus intrusive boss.
[11:40] ---
    I'll divert its attention.
    You guys go from the sides.
[11:43] ---
    You're going to fight it?
    We should end here.
[11:47] ---
    We're no match for that monster.
[11:50] ---
    I can defeat it.
[11:52] ---
    Hiroto...
[12:01] ---
    Darn it.
[12:02] ---
    Mr. Hiroto, let's surface once
    and have everyone help us.
[12:06] ---
    You can't do this alone.
[12:26] ---
    Hiroto... Hiroto!
[12:29] ---
    No more...
[12:30] ---
    I can do this.
[12:31] ---
    Just like before!
[13:20] ---
    Ow!
[13:22] ---
    Mr. Hiroto.
[13:26] ---
    Mr... Hiroto?
[13:30] ---
    Mr. Hiroto.
[13:32] ---
    Mr. Hiroto!
[13:40] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:41] ---
    I've made you sad.
[13:45] ---
    I'm sad the city was destroyed.
[13:49] ---
    But what makes me saddest...
[13:54] ---
    Mr. Hiroto! Mr. Hiroto!
[13:58] ---
    Mr. Hiroto.
[14:00] ---
    Mr. Hiroto!
[14:03] ---
    Thank goodness.
[14:05] ---
    I was worried that you might've died.
[14:12] ---
    I'm sorry.
[14:13] ---
    I...
[14:17] ---
    I...
[14:18] ---
    Once again...
[14:24] ---
    No more weapons...
[14:36] ---
    May.
[14:37] ---
    You're similar to me.
[14:40] ---
    So I thought
    you wouldn't ask for help.
[14:43] ---
    But I'm different from you.
[14:48] ---
    So this is what I'll do!
[15:01] ---
    Hey, you're all beat up.
[15:03] ---
    Are you alright?
[15:05] ---
    Yeah.
[15:06] ---
    How are things looking...? Well...
[15:07] ---
    No need to ask, I guess.
[15:10] ---
    So what do we do now?
[15:13] ---
    U-Umm...
[15:14] ---
    Can we bring it up here and defeat it?
[15:18] ---
    What?
[15:19] ---
    Then we can all fight together.
[15:23] ---
    Sounds good.
    No need to be afraid on land.
[15:27] ---
    - But...
    - I'm for this plan.
[15:30] ---
    A team focuses its resources
    on a common goal.
[15:36] ---
    Isn't that right?
[15:39] ---
    Hiroto, you should take command.
[15:43] ---
    Yeah, you have an underwater radar.
[15:46] ---
    And you know
    where the target's been damaged.
[15:50] ---
    That's true.
[15:52] ---
    Alright. Let's go with that.
[15:54] ---
    But...
[15:55] ---
    Par, I need to ask you
    to do something risky.
[16:01] ---
    I'll do anything.
[16:10] ---
    Dragon Fusion!
[16:34] ---
    It's following me.
[16:35] ---
    Mr. Hiroto, the bits.
[16:37] ---
    Catch!
[16:47] ---
    Come on, this way.
[16:53] ---
    I want you to be a decoy.
[16:55] ---
    Use my bits to go deep underwater.
[16:59] ---
    As deep as your machine can stand.
[17:02] ---
    Can you do it?
[17:03] ---
    I'll try.
[17:15] ---
    Can Par pull it off?
[17:17] ---
    Par and his Valkylander can do this.
[17:52] ---
    It's coming up.
[17:53] ---
    May, get the harpoon ready.
[17:56] ---
    Kazami, hang on to my back.
[17:58] ---
    You bet!
[17:59] ---
    May, 15 degrees to the left.
[18:01] ---
    It's coming 0.28 seconds after Par.
[18:04] ---
    Now!
[18:09] ---
    - You got it!
    - No.
[18:40] ---
    May, Kazami, pull it up.
[18:41] ---
    - Kazami!
    - Yeah!
[18:46] ---
    Don't underestimate a man of the sea!
[19:04] ---
    Core change. Mercury to Mars!
[19:32] ---
    Nice! Now we just cut it up.
[19:34] ---
    May, hold its body.
[19:36] ---
    Roger.
[19:40] ---
    Hiroto, cut its tail at the root.
[19:47] ---
    Next, the fins!
[19:49] ---
    Par, take care of them.
[19:50] ---
    Yes!
[19:57] ---
    Yeah! And finally...
[20:21] ---
    I've always wanted to
    do something like this.
[20:24] ---
    All thanks to
    my precise instructions.
[20:26] ---
    Well, Hiroto did take
    the spotlight at the end.
[20:29] ---
    By the way, do you know
    a lot about rays?
[20:32] ---
    You said "man of the sea"...
[20:34] ---
    Oh, I'm just paying homage
    to Zock Mayol.
[20:38] ---
    I see.
[20:41] ---
    Par. Kazami.
[20:42] ---
    - Huh?
    - Well...
[20:44] ---
    I should've asked you guys
    for help sooner... I think.
[20:52] ---
    You finally realized?
[20:56] ---
    Freddie.
[20:57] ---
    Because you were with me,
    I was able to pull myself together.
[21:03] ---
    Thank you.
[21:05] ---
    Oh no...
[21:08] ---
    May, I'm grateful to you too.
[21:12] ---
    For at a critical time, you know...
[21:16] ---
    kicking me.
[21:19] ---
    I felt that situation wasn't
    what you were seeking.
[21:27] ---
    I'm sad the city was destroyed.
[21:30] ---
    But what makes me saddest...
[21:33] ---
    is that your heart wasn't seeking it.
[21:39] ---
    Battling all alone,
    just for the sake of fighting.
[21:45] ---
    Hiroto, I believe...
[21:47] ---
    you'd rather fight for someone
    while caring about them.
[21:56] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:57] ---
    Nothing.
[22:01] ---
    No...
[22:17] ---
    The Seltsam...
[22:26] ---
    We can't get out.
[23:26] ---
    Mr. Ken, what's an EL-Diver?
[23:28] ---
    What?
[23:29] ---
    GBN's...umm...
[23:32] ---
    2nd Coalition of Volunteers battle.
[23:35] ---
    It came up
    when I was reading about it.
[23:37] ---
    Oh, hence the EL-Diver.
[23:40] ---
    Put simply,
[23:41] ---
    an electronic lifeform born out of
    the massive amount of data in GBN.
[23:48] ---
    An electronic lifeform...
[24:08] ---
    EL...
[24:11] ---
    Diver...
[24:15] ---
    The village's Space Crossing festival.
[24:18] ---
    We all worked hard for this day.
[24:21] ---
    I'm so excited!
[24:23] ---
    Next episode,
    "The Ones Who Breathe There."
[24:26] ---
    Huh? A round Gunpla...!
[24:29] ---
