[00:00] ---
    You're...
[00:02] ---
    Tohru Kazasumi.
[00:17] ---
    Who the hell is he?
[00:20] ---
    I suppose you would dodge it, yeah...
SIGN    Resolve: An Ending World
[01:56] ---
    He has the same face as me...
    the same voice!
[02:01] ---
    What is this?
    What's going on here?
[02:11] ---
    Where are you aim—
[02:17] ---
    This attack... Remy?
[02:21] ---
    It's not nice to bully the weak.
[02:24] ---
    H-Hold on...
[02:26] ---
    C-Can we land on the ground sometime soon?
[02:30] ---
    Remy, what's your status?
[02:32] ---
    I saved her.
[02:34] ---
    She was about to fall, but now
    she's happily floating around.
[02:40] ---
    This is Kazasumi.
    We're retreating.
[02:45] ---
    Enemy retreat confirmed.
[02:48] ---
    Roger.
[02:51] ---
    Are you hurt?
[02:52] ---
    No, I'm fine.
[02:55] ---
    Your big brother can be pretty annoying.
[03:00] ---
    You're one of the first-years, right?
[03:03] ---
    Your name was...
[03:04] ---
    Remy.
[03:05] ---
    Right! You're Remy Odhner!
[03:08] ---
    You just saved me, right? Thanks!
[03:11] ---
    What you did just now was amazing!
    Were those like, psychic powers?
[03:15] ---
    You're not afraid of me?
[03:18] ---
    Afraid? Why?
[03:21] ---
    Oh right! I have to look for Tohru.
[03:23] ---
    Excuse me a bit.
[03:25] ---
    Tohru!
[03:26] ---
    Tohru!
[03:27] ---
    Tohru! Are you all right?
[03:30] ---
    Yeah, it's just a scratch.
    What about you?
[03:38] ---
    Where are we?
[03:40] ---
    It doesn't seem like a management district...
[03:43] ---
    Yeah. I've seen this before
    in a video we watched in class.
[03:47] ---
    It's an old, old management district.
[03:50] ---
    I think they called it Japan...
[04:00] ---
    W-what's going on here?
[04:02] ---
    You really don't know anything, do you?
[04:05] ---
    Just like you said, this is Japan.
[04:14] ---
    Operator, I'm in the Box with the two of them.
    Heading up now.
[04:18] ---
    Roger that. Commencing transfer.
[04:24] ---
    Help me.
[04:25] ---
    It's you!
[04:26] ---
    The future...
[04:30] ---
    Wh-What?
[04:33] ---
    The future...
[04:42] ---
    I heard it was a traffic accident.
[04:44] ---
    Both of them together...
[04:46] ---
    Leaving such a young child behind...
[04:49] ---
    Your parents' death has been
    ruled a work-related accident.
[04:53] ---
    In accordance with regulations, your
    expenses will be provided for until you turn 18.
[04:58] ---
    Tohru, it's okay to cry.
[05:10] ---
    Consciousness confirmed.
[05:11] ---
    Awareness levels, normal.
[05:13] ---
    Good morning, Tohru Kazasumi.
[05:17] ---
    G-Good morning.
[05:27] ---
    It's Xi, right?
[05:30] ---
    The girl I was with,
    Kyoka Katagiri—
[05:32] ---
    Healthy both in mind and spirit.
[05:34] ---
    I'm telling you, I'll help!
[05:36] ---
    But Matsurika, you have the
    maintenance on Freya to do.
[05:40] ---
    I leave routine maintenance to the staff.
[05:43] ---
    I understand that,
    but you see...
[05:46] ---
    I see what?
[05:49] ---
    Who are those two?
[05:51] ---
    They are combat personnel
    participating in the operation.
[05:54] ---
    Combat?
[05:59] ---
    This way.
[06:03] ---
    Please, come in.
[06:05] ---
    Welcome, Tohru Kazasumi.
[06:08] ---
    I'm Brian Odhner,
    and I'm the supervisor here.
[06:13] ---
    You woke up pretty late, didn't you?
[06:16] ---
    He and Kyoka are irregulars, after all.
[06:19] ---
    Now, publically, this is a research lab
    for the Melchizedek Corporation,
[06:24] ---
    but that's just a facade...
[06:30] ---
    We are fighting...
[06:34] ---
    ...to save this world...
[06:37] ---
    ...from ourselves in another universe.
[06:42] ---
    What is this?
[06:44] ---
    From the samples gathered on-site,
[06:47] ---
    it's been proven that the parties concerned
    are biologically the same individual.
[06:55] ---
    In other words, it's not just you.
[06:59] ---
    Big Brother!
[07:00] ---
    Yo!
[07:04] ---
    Instructor, you too?
[07:05] ---
    Hi!
[07:09] ---
    Now, Kazasumi.
[07:11] ---
    I'm sure you've heard the term
    "Desert Syndrome" before.
[07:16] ---
    Yes... just rumors, though.
[07:19] ---
    It's when the human body suddenly
    turns into sand, and crumbles away...
[07:27] ---
    We call it the the "Sandification
    Process", AKA "Degradation."
[07:33] ---
    No way...
[07:34] ---
    It's real?
[07:35] ---
    This phenomenon where people turn into sand
    is happening all over the globe.
[07:40] ---
    We have yet to find a solution.
[07:43] ---
    Ever since it started, the intelligence bureau
    has been busy with the cover-up.
[07:47] ---
    How do you hide something like this?
[07:49] ---
    They know who's going to disappear,
    so they stay one step ahead.
[07:54] ---
    How do they do that?
[07:55] ---
    The Timekeepers.
[07:58] ---
    Roughly two years ago,
    they intruded on our communications.
[08:03] ---
    An announcement... A warning...
    And a notification.
[08:08] ---
    Encroachment by the primordial
    conclusion has been confirmed.
[08:11] ---
    Time remaining until the
    primordial conclusion:
[08:15] ---
    3...9...3...1...
[08:17] ---
    The time in which we live, itself,
    is about to come to an end.
[08:23] ---
    And the degredations are a sign of that.
[08:27] ---
    That was more or less the
    information they gave us.
[08:31] ---
    That information contained the names of
    who was going to disappear and when.
[08:37] ---
    Everyone is going to turn into sand?
[08:40] ---
    The times the disappearances occur vary,
    but the information continues to be precise.
[08:47] ---
    Kazasumi, Kyoka,
    there's something I want to show you.
[08:51] ---
    This is top-secret classified information.
[08:57] ---
    In addition to the warnings they offered,
[09:00] ---
    the Timekeepers also said they would give
    us technology that would save the world,
[09:05] ---
    but they would only give it to those
    who were victorious in battle.
[09:11] ---
    The opponents being...
[09:12] ---
    ...ourselves in another universe.
[09:19] ---
    We don't know why it's Japan of 2015.
[09:23] ---
    Don't you think it's these Timekeepers
    who are behind all this?
[09:28] ---
    Even so, we can't stop the Degradation.
    We have to play along with their game.
[09:34] ---
    But how do we get to Japan?
[09:37] ---
    That's what our lab is for.
[09:41] ---
    A spacetime resonance facility developed
    with the Timekeepers' technology...
[09:47] ---
    In other words,
[09:51] ---
    a time machine!
[09:58] ---
    We can send qualified individuals to 2015,
    and also bring them back.
[10:03] ---
    Qualified individuals?
[10:04] ---
    Those rare individuals capable
    of space-time transfers.
[10:07] ---
    Your measured values were especially high.
[10:11] ---
    But I never thought you'd be able to
    spacetime transfer without a time machine...
[10:16] ---
    How in the world did you do it?
[10:18] ---
    I don't really know.
[10:20] ---
    I fell from a high place—
[10:21] ---
    What?
[10:23] ---
    You simply fell from a high location?
[10:25] ---
    It's true that, theoretically,
[10:27] ---
    if you have enough gravitational potential,
    you don't need a box space.
[10:30] ---
    But under fluid boundary conditions—
[10:32] ---
    Leave that for later!
[10:33] ---
    You have one more important thing
    to discuss, don't you?
[10:39] ---
    This is the most important over-technology
    that the Timekeepers have granted us:
[10:45] ---
    the Energy Cube.
[10:46] ---
    Replaying recorded data.
[10:50] ---
    We're applying the Energy
    Cube to a standard gun.
[10:57] ---
    Application complete.
[11:04] ---
    The gun...
[11:05] ---
    It changed shape?
[11:07] ---
    To be precise, it "evolved."
[11:10] ---
    Something you could call "time energy"
    is stored within this cube.
[11:17] ---
    We were told to use this to win our battles.
[11:22] ---
    We mainly use it for enhancing the weapons
    and defensive fields of the combat personnel.
[11:28] ---
    However, with each battle,
    the enemy weapons are getting stronger, too.
[11:32] ---
    That means they've been given the same thing.
[11:35] ---
    This is...
[11:37] ---
    This is all insane!
[11:38] ---
    Exactly. It's insane.
[11:42] ---
    Degradation, over-technology,
    forced combat...
[11:48] ---
    None of these are dreams.
[11:53] ---
    We're throwing ourselves into battle
    as the result of a very difficult decision.
[11:58] ---
    Unfortunately, we weren't given the
    ability to make the choice for ourselves.
[12:13] ---
    There are weapons inside.
[12:15] ---
    They're locked with biometric authentication.
[12:18] ---
    If you wish to join the
    war, please open them.
[12:22] ---
    That will indicate your approval
    of the final contract.
[12:26] ---
    So here you are, troubled young man...
[12:32] ---
    Hey, let's talk about your future.
[12:35] ---
    In a place where we can be all alone.
[12:38] ---
    O-Okay...
[12:43] ---
    Ma'am, are you a member of that lab?
[12:46] ---
    Yes. My instructor position
    is merely a front.
[12:49] ---
    So, have you made up your mind?
[12:52] ---
    You're telling me the world is going to end,
    but it just doesn't feel real to me...
[12:57] ---
    I'm sure.
[12:58] ---
    Humans fight only
    when they feel the need to.
[13:02] ---
    The need to fight...
[13:06] ---
    It's important to think about your future.
[13:10] ---
    It makes me happy,
[13:12] ---
    so I'll give you more food for thought.
[13:17] ---
    What is this?
[13:18] ---
    Live footage of someone's degradation!
[13:29] ---
    Th-This is happening right now, isn't it?
[13:31] ---
    That's what I said.
[13:35] ---
    What are you trying to accomplish
    by showing me this?
[13:37] ---
    Nothing at all. I'm just showing you
    the truth about the world you live in.
[13:44] ---
    So, are you going to fight
    to save the world? Or...
[13:48] ---
    I'm—
[13:54] ---
    Enough playing around!
[13:57] ---
    Combat between allies
    is a breach of contract.
[14:00] ---
    Is that something that
    a criminal like you should say?
[14:02] ---
    We'll continue this some other time, okay?
[14:12] ---
    Did you send her?
[14:14] ---
    You've got some sick hobbies.
[14:16] ---
    I simply told him the truth.
[14:19] ---
    I thought you disliked Tohru Kazasumi?
[14:23] ---
    In a group of morons from high-ranking
    families, he's better than most.
[14:29] ---
    Then why have you been removing him
    from the recruitment list?
[14:33] ---
    Well, um... that's because...
[14:35] ---
    If he joins, Kyoka will tag along.
[14:41] ---
    It's a lot of trouble having a younger sister
    that gets out of hand... you and me both.
[14:45] ---
    Shut up, you sadist.
[14:49] ---
    Have you calmed down?
[14:51] ---
    I guess...
[14:52] ---
    Showing you a live Degradation?
    That's disgusting!
[15:02] ---
    W-what are those?
[15:04] ---
    That's Dogma and Magma.
[15:06] ---
    Aren't they cute?
[15:09] ---
    This is mint tea.
    Drink it while it's hot.
[15:17] ---
    Lord Tohru Kazasumi.
[15:19] ---
    On behalf of Lord Kyohma,
    I, Sidune Rindo, give you thanks.
[15:24] ---
    You have protected Lady Kyoka.
[15:27] ---
    No, it's nothing...
[15:29] ---
    And I apologize for my family
    troubling you earlier.
[15:34] ---
    Family?
[15:35] ---
    That woman that calls herself Olga.
[15:38] ---
    Her real name is Orika Rindo.
[15:40] ---
    She's a terrorist on the most wanted list...
    and my elder sister.
[15:46] ---
    You two siblings are really quite... unique.
[15:51] ---
    Um...
[15:52] ---
    About Lord Kyohma...
[15:54] ---
    Please don't hate him.
[15:57] ---
    He may not look it, but he's
    expecting a lot out of you.
[16:01] ---
    Out of me?
[16:02] ---
    Lord Kyohma is the next leader
    of the Katagiri Group.
[16:06] ---
    The one who invited Doctor Odhner
    and created that lab was Lord Kyohma, too.
[16:12] ---
    But whenever there's power, there's
    always conflict to go with it.
[16:16] ---
    Lord Kyohma didn't want that bitc—
[16:19] ---
    Excuse me!
[16:21] ---
    He didn't want Lady Kyoka caught up in that,
    and has worked hard to avoid it.
[16:27] ---
    I see...
[16:29] ---
    So for Lord Kyohma to pick a fight with you
    like a child... I'm so jealous!
[16:34] ---
    I mean, it goes to show how highly
    he thinks of you, Tohru!
[16:43] ---
    A reason to fight?
[16:46] ---
    They say I've got the
    power to save the world,
[16:49] ---
    but I just don't understand.
[16:53] ---
    What if you think of it like this?
[16:55] ---
    There's always been wars and
    conflicts, all over the world.
[16:59] ---
    Long before the Degradations started,
    this world was already crazy.
[17:04] ---
    It's not really your responsibility, Tohru.
[17:09] ---
    So you should do what you want to do.
[17:13] ---
    Why do you fight?
[17:16] ---
    I fight for Lord Kyohma.
[17:19] ---
    As long as I can help him,
    I don't care what happens to me.
[17:25] ---
    You're strong, Sidune...
[17:28] ---
    My reason is rather selfish.
[17:31] ---
    One person can't really carry that
    many burdens by themselves, anyway.
[17:44] ---
    I knew you'd be here!
[17:46] ---
    I was looking for you!
[17:48] ---
    I'm sorry.
[17:50] ---
    I'm glad I found you.
[17:51] ---
    Well... you know, I wanted to talk.
[17:56] ---
    Me, too.
[18:02] ---
    My parents both died when I was
    young... in a traffic accident.
[18:09] ---
    Yeah.
[18:10] ---
    I just didn't know what was going on.
[18:13] ---
    I couldn't feel sad about it, either.
[18:16] ---
    But, when I heard
    I could go back to the past,
[18:20] ---
    I wanted to see them.
[18:22] ---
    I thought "I want to see Dad and Mom."
[18:28] ---
    I see.
[18:29] ---
    It's such a waste, isn't it?
[18:31] ---
    They've got a time machine, but
    they can only use it for fighting.
[18:36] ---
    Yeah. It really doesn't
    make sense, does it?
[18:41] ---
    Hey...
[18:43] ---
    Are you going to open the case?
[18:48] ---
    "Help me," was what she told me.
[18:51] ---
    Oh... you didn't tell them about that girl.
[18:55] ---
    You want to help her?
[18:58] ---
    Why?
[19:00] ---
    I don't know.
[19:02] ---
    Tohru, you get so reckless...
[19:06] ---
    But what about you?
[19:10] ---
    What should I do, I wonder?
[19:13] ---
    Thanks for telling me about your parents.
[19:16] ---
    I was happy you did.
[19:17] ---
    I'll see you tomorrow.
SIGN    Help Me
[19:38] ---
    We are fighting...
[19:40] ---
    ...to save this world...
[19:42] ---
    ...from ourselves in another universe.
[19:44] ---
    So, are you going to
    fight to save the world?
[19:47] ---
    The reason is rather selfish.
[19:50] ---
    Tohru Kazasumi.
[20:12] ---
    Authentication complete.
    Will you open the case?
[20:18] ---
    The contract is now complete.
    Releasing the lock.
[21:35] ---
    Whether or not
    this is the correct decision...
[21:38] ---
    I don't know right now.
[21:41] ---
    But...
[21:42] ---
    I'll do everything I can.
[23:25] ---
    We should end this.
[23:27] ---
    A sudden breakup! A turning point in life!
[23:29] ---
    I don't know if we can work together
    if you're so cheery and I'm not...
[23:31] ---
    It's because we're different
    that we can have this friendly rivalry!
[23:33] ---
    We'd just wear each other out
    and end up as sand.
[23:35] ---
    We'll scatter in the night skies like stars!
