[00:07] ---
    You're heading to the lab now, right? Hop in.
[00:10] ---
    No, but...
[00:12] ---
    Just get in.
[00:20] ---
    The inside of this car is my kingdom.
[00:23] ---
    Even the power of Melchizedek, which rules over
    every corner of this management district...
[00:29] ---
    ...doesn't reach here. That's the contract.
[00:31] ---
    Contract...
[00:35] ---
    A special contract comes with a heavy price.
[00:38] ---
    This is a tiny kingdom, but someday...
[00:42] ---
    ...I'll expand out to the entire city.
[00:45] ---
    You really are amazing, Lord Kyohma.
[00:47] ---
    Just call me Kyohma.
[00:49] ---
    The circumstances were a bit unusual,
    but you became a warrior as well.
[00:53] ---
    But...
[00:56] ---
    I won't let you watch my back
    until I know how you think.
[01:01] ---
    So let's hear what you're really after.
SIGN    Sortie: Noble and Fleeting
[02:37] ---
    Yes. What you're really after.
[02:39] ---
    Why did you decide to join the battle?
[02:43] ---
    Don't say it's to "save this world."
[02:46] ---
    It can't possibly be something that shallow.
[02:49] ---
    It's not to protect Kyoka, either.
[02:51] ---
    According to the reports I received,
    you opened the case slightly earlier than she did.
[02:56] ---
    Then Kyoka also...
[03:02] ---
    Yeah. You didn't hear?
[03:05] ---
    So what about you?
[03:07] ---
    You have a different reason, right?
[03:10] ---
    Something you haven't mentioned at the lab yet.
[03:13] ---
    For instance...
[03:15] ---
    The fact that you warped to Japan of 2015 by yourself.
[03:18] ---
    Does it have something to do with that?
[03:21] ---
    Bullseye?
[03:22] ---
    You might not believe this, but...
[03:29] ---
    A kid asked you for help, huh?
[03:32] ---
    You mean her, right?
[03:37] ---
    You were watching?
[03:38] ---
    Kyoka doesn't know,
    but I assigned bodyguards to her.
[03:42] ---
    The Katagiri family has many enemies.
[03:44] ---
    I myself have several,
    as does my little sister.
[03:48] ---
    If something unusual happens around her,
    I immediately get a report.
[03:53] ---
    Hey.
[03:56] ---
    Don't ever tell her this.
[03:59] ---
    She'd hate me.
[04:03] ---
    Don't laugh. I'm serious!
[04:05] ---
    I'm sorry.
[04:06] ---
    But still, I never realized there were bodyguards.
[04:09] ---
    They're hiding. Just like this!
[04:14] ---
    It was a huge success, right Lord Kyohma?
[04:17] ---
    Wh-Where have you been until now...
[04:19] ---
    Humans have more blind spots
    than they realize.
[04:23] ---
    Don't underestimate Sidune.
[04:25] ---
    She may not look it, but she's the most veteran of them all.
[04:28] ---
    The Rindo family has served
    the Katagiri family for generations,
[04:32] ---
    as bodyguards, spies, and assassins.
[04:51] ---
    You know how to get
    to the training facility, right?
[04:54] ---
    You're heading straight there today.
[04:56] ---
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[04:58] ---
    I'll join up later.
    So go get your butt kicked.
[05:01] ---
    Got it.
[05:04] ---
    It doesn't look like
    he's fully committed to doing this.
[05:07] ---
    He can't help it.
[05:08] ---
    People like you are very special, Lord Kyohma.
[05:12] ---
    We should get going, too.
[05:13] ---
    Yes, my master!
[05:19] ---
    My uniform?
[05:20] ---
    It's a bit different...
[05:25] ---
    That combat suit comes with
    a G-Splitter already embedded in it.
[05:29] ---
    You read the manual, right?
[05:32] ---
    It's a miniature inertial control system, right?
[05:35] ---
    Correct.
[05:36] ---
    It allows high-speed movement
    by controlling gravity.
[05:40] ---
    It also functions as a defensive field that lessens physical impacts.
[05:45] ---
    Where does it get its power?
[05:47] ---
    CP energy is fed to it
    from a weapon affected by the Cube.
[05:52] ---
    Now, please put it on.
[06:04] ---
    Um, how long are you going to be watching?
[06:07] ---
    I'm checking your physical condition.
    Is that a problem?
[06:12] ---
    Don't tease me!
[06:14] ---
    I'll have someone come pick you up.
[06:16] ---
    So when you're ready,
    please exit the room.
[06:23] ---
    This is a ghost.
[06:25] ---
    A ghost?
[06:26] ---
    A fuzzy image of a human sometimes seen on the battlefield.
[06:32] ---
    I've encountered one before,
    and they've shown up in other people's reports too.
[06:37] ---
    I think it was Brian
    that decided to call them ghosts.
[06:41] ---
    But this is the first time I've seen one that's so clear.
[06:45] ---
    When it happened, I'd been chasing after her...
[06:48] ---
    ...and I fell from some place that looked like a factory.
[06:53] ---
    It showed up inside
    the management district too, huh?
[06:55] ---
    That's a big deal, yeah.
[06:58] ---
    And so you decided to join the battle
    to check this thing out.
[07:05] ---
    Another factor,
    distinct from the Timekeepers...
[07:08] ---
    Ghost-hunting doesn't sound that appealing to me.
[07:19] ---
    What's wrong?
    You look like you've seen a ghost.
[07:24] ---
    Or maybe a dead man?
[07:28] ---
    Um, who are you?
[07:30] ---
    Grab it. Real flesh and bone.
[07:36] ---
    I'm Aaron Burroughs.
[07:38] ---
    I've joined the operation as a mercenary.
[07:41] ---
    What you saw was the me in the other universe...
    the enemy's Aaron Burroughs.
[07:47] ---
    I took him down.
[07:51] ---
    You're going to join the training program here.
[07:54] ---
    We can't just dump you on the battlefield without training.
[07:58] ---
    That is, until we hear something
    from the Timekeepers?
[08:01] ---
    That's right. Their messages always appear without warning.
[08:05] ---
    I don't know how many days we have,
    but I'd like you to learn the basics of team battle.
[08:10] ---
    But in any case,
    you're Tohru Kazasumi.
[08:14] ---
    To be honest, I have high expectations of you.
[08:17] ---
    Is he that strong?
[08:19] ---
    Yes. A formidable opponent.
[08:23] ---
    Um, there's something I'd like to ask...
[08:26] ---
    What is it?
[08:28] ---
    How did feel... to fight yourself... and kill yourself?
[08:34] ---
    I may be a mercenary, but I'm still a soldier.
[08:37] ---
    It's my job to fight on the battlefield and win.
[08:41] ---
    If needed, I can kill anyone...
[08:44] ---
    ...and I'm prepared to die on the battlefield at any time.
[08:47] ---
    Is that how it works?
[08:49] ---
    It's not a great feeling.
[08:57] ---
    Let's go! I'm not gonna hold back!
[09:00] ---
    You missed!
[09:03] ---
    Come on, let's go!
[09:06] ---
    W-Wait, time out!
[09:13] ---
    Nope, not letting you get away!
[09:18] ---
    Wrong place!
[09:21] ---
    I'm going to play a little trick.
[09:24] ---
    Go!
[09:37] ---
    Look, look, Tohru!
    My own personal combat suit!
[09:41] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[09:44] ---
    We match!
[09:45] ---
    Kyoka Katagiri has left the field.
[09:48] ---
    The winner is Remy Odhner.
[09:50] ---
    Oh, drat.
[09:52] ---
    Don't turn your back on
    the enemy during a fight.
[09:55] ---
    If you did that on the battlefield,
    you'd be blown apart.
[09:57] ---
    Yes sir, instructor!
[10:05] ---
    That worked up a good sweat!
[10:15] ---
    I'm sorry, Remy.
    Let's spar again sometime, okay?
[10:19] ---
    F-Fine.
[10:26] ---
    You made up your mind.
[10:28] ---
    Yeah.
[10:31] ---
    I decided to fight as well.
[10:46] ---
    Yes. Right now, we're practicing a situation where multiple battles are going on in the same area.
[10:53] ---
    Yes. It's only day three, but they've made
     remarkable progress, haven't they?
[10:57] ---
    You fell for it!
[11:08] ---
    Dammit, how many of those can you throw?
[11:15] ---
    You underestimated me, didn't you?
[11:17] ---
    I didn't think I was!
[11:28] ---
    I told you, didn't I?
[11:29] ---
    You have to watch your blind spots.
[11:32] ---
    I give up...
[11:36] ---
    You can totally tell you're an amateur.
[11:38] ---
    If you went to a battle like that...
[11:42] ---
    I'm training for the sake of Lord Kyohma.
    I can't lose that easily!
[11:54] ---
    Again!?
[12:07] ---
    What the hell was that?
[12:10] ---
    That's your ability.
[12:13] ---
    Nth dimensional space-orientation function.
[12:15] ---
    The ability to understand spatial relations
    and control your location within the flow of time.
[12:20] ---
    Nth dimensional?
[12:22] ---
    Well, we just use an acronym and call it NDSF.
[12:27] ---
    In the brains of eligible people,
    this function is very active.
[12:32] ---
    It was an accident. Sorry about that.
[12:35] ---
    I'll just leave it at that.
[12:38] ---
    There won't be a second time, though.
[12:40] ---
    Is something the matter?
[12:46] ---
    Lord Remy.
[12:47] ---
    It's nothing much.
[12:50] ---
    A psychic created by human experimentation...
[12:56] ---
    I guess I'm not that different, though.
[13:00] ---
    How is the training going?
[13:02] ---
    They're very quick to catch on.
    They were able to use the gravity control in no time.
[13:07] ---
    It seems like they've done their share
    of the combat curriculum at the academy as well.
[13:12] ---
    Arcturus Academy, huh?
[13:14] ---
    We used that place, as it was part of the Melchizedek group,
    in an effort to gather the eligible close to the lab.
[13:20] ---
    Your idea paid off in an unexpected way, though.
[13:25] ---
    That academy is where the future leaders of Melchizedek are born.
[13:28] ---
    They need to at least be able to defend themselves.
[13:31] ---
    And so you're sure this is all right?
[13:34] ---
    I'll keep a close eye on Lady Kyoka.
[13:38] ---
    Yeah, please do.
[13:40] ---
    So Lord Kyohma,
    please do the job you need to do.
[13:46] ---
    She chose for herself.
[13:49] ---
    I have no right to stop that.
[13:53] ---
    Emergency. Emergency.
[13:55] ---
    All operations personnel
    immediately report to the briefing room.
[13:59] ---
    Repeat. Immediately report to the briefing room.
[14:04] ---
    What's this?
[14:05] ---
    Looks like they're here.
[14:07] ---
    Yeah.
[14:09] ---
    It's the Timekeepers.
[14:14] ---
    Operation system, commence phase two.
[14:17] ---
    Nothing unusual on the bio-scans.
[14:19] ---
    Target Group NDSF detected.
    Commencing brain-wave tracking.
[14:24] ---
    Anti-tachyon circuits booted.
    Commencing weak boson propagation
[14:28] ---
    Circuit has reached criticality.
[14:31] ---
    Chrono potential at 95% of theoretical values.
[14:34] ---
    Creation of CP field confirmed.
[14:37] ---
    This is the final checkup.
    We have no time, so I'll keep this brief.
[14:42] ---
    We'll be warped into the Shibuya area,
    but we don't know where we'll end up.
[14:46] ---
    We'll be squad A, and old man
    Aaron will lead in squad B after us,
[14:50] ---
    but the chance of us
    landing in the same location is low.
[14:52] ---
    How effective are the defensive fields?
[14:54] ---
    They can withstand
    a certain amount of attacks,
[14:57] ---
    but I don't know what happens when the
     enemy weapon's firepower overwhelms us...
[15:01] ---
    Avoid direct hits as much as possible.
[15:02] ---
    As much as possible?
[15:04] ---
    If you're heavily injured,
    the operator can initiate a forced return.
[15:09] ---
    But if you're dead, there's nothing we can do. That's when it's "game over."
[15:16] ---
    Final confirmation complete.
    Time vault 03, release!
[15:23] ---
    Kyoka, this is your first battle.
    Don't pull ahead of the group.
[15:27] ---
    Why are you acting so high and mighty,
    stupid big brother?
[15:29] ---
    Who are you calling stupid?
[15:32] ---
    Leave me alone!
[15:34] ---
    Don't do that so suddenly!
[15:41] ---
    Your G-Splitter, idiot!
[15:44] ---
    Be careful!
[15:45] ---
    Sorry!
[15:46] ---
    Look. Over there!
[15:50] ---
    So they really do exist...
[15:59] ---
    Okay, I'll...
[16:01] ---
    ...knock them even further out of position.
[16:03] ---
    You never give me a break, do you?
[16:05] ---
    So this is the match up, huh?
[16:07] ---
    It doesn't matter who I'm fighting,
    I do the same thing.
[16:11] ---
    Let's go, guys!
[16:15] ---
    Everyone, stay close!
    They're trying to pick you off one by one!
[16:18] ---
    I know that! I know that, but...
[16:35] ---
    Tohru!
[16:36] ---
    Don't come here! They'll snipe you!
[16:39] ---
    He's got cold feet.
[16:41] ---
    It's understandable...
[16:44] ---
    Maybe bringing two people with no experience on the same mission wasn't a good idea...
[16:48] ---
    Sidune, about my little sister...
[16:50] ---
    Leave her to me!
[16:55] ---
    I'll play with you right now!
[16:57] ---
    Eat this!
[17:00] ---
    At that rate he's eventually going to run out of bullets.
[17:03] ---
    I'm here, too!
[17:05] ---
    So she finally came over, huh?
[17:07] ---
    Wow, they really do look like us...
[17:12] ---
    Lady Kyoka, you shouldn't overextend your position!
[17:14] ---
    You can't get away!
[17:17] ---
    I told you not to do that!
[17:20] ---
    Listen to what others tell you, you tomboy!
[17:23] ---
    Who did you call a tomboy?
[17:33] ---
    I failed to eliminate them.
[17:44] ---
    Kyohma!
[17:45] ---
    What? I'm kinda busy!
[17:48] ---
    That girl may be nearby!
[17:50] ---
    The ghost?
[17:52] ---
    I don't know, but...
[17:57] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:58] ---
    I'm fine.
[18:00] ---
    Change of plans!
[18:01] ---
    Sidune, Kyoka, rendezvous with me!
[18:05] ---
    Roger that. Come on, Lady Kyoka!
[18:08] ---
    Wait a minute!
[18:09] ---
    Kyohma, I...
[18:11] ---
    I'll give you two and a half minutes.
    Capture that ghost.
[18:15] ---
    Ghost?
[18:16] ---
    I'll explain later!
[18:17] ---
    Two and a half minutes.
    Remember that!
[18:20] ---
    Got it!
[18:24] ---
    Yes, I'll be visiting your company right now...
[18:27] ---
    What's the meaning of this, Big Brother?
[18:29] ---
    I asked him to search the area.
[18:31] ---
    Hey, explain. What's this about a ghost?
[18:34] ---
    It's the girl you saw before.
[18:39] ---
    At any rate, right now...
[18:42] ---
    ...he won't be much help in battle.
[18:44] ---
    We're going to change our formation!
[18:50] ---
    Perfect. There's someone
    worth taking out our aggression on.
[18:54] ---
    You think you can fight without Tohru Kazasumi...
    It looks like you underestimate me.
[19:00] ---
    They look just like each other, too.
[19:21] ---
    Be careful.
[19:23] ---
    Time... will end...
[19:26] ---
    Wait!
[19:28] ---
    The future hasn't been determined yet.
[19:34] ---
    So that's a ghost?
[19:35] ---
    Remy...
[19:37] ---
    Those crows were a terminal for the Timekeepers.
[19:40] ---
    You'll see them often in the management district, too.
[19:43] ---
    Do you know something?
[19:45] ---
    I heard that the Timekeepers
    are all from the future.
[19:48] ---
    Since they have more advanced technology than we do, it's probably true.
[19:53] ---
    From the future, huh?
[19:55] ---
    The ghosts are probably also from the future, and they're their enemies.
[20:00] ---
    Anyway, that's what Kyohma says.
[20:03] ---
    "The future hasn't been determined yet."
[20:05] ---
    Maybe that's why they're so fuzzy.
[20:09] ---
    You heard?
[20:10] ---
    I usually can't hear.
    It must be because you're next to me.
[20:15] ---
    But having you leave the battle and decreasing our firepower?
[20:20] ---
    What the hell is Kyohma thinking?
[20:22] ---
    But you...
[20:24] ---
    I'm scouting. Don't compare me to you.
[20:29] ---
    I'm sorry! I need to get back!
[20:32] ---
    Wait! I need information from you, too!
[20:35] ---
    Squad A has entered combat.
    Some have been injured!
[20:42] ---
    Lord Kyohma's field...
[20:46] ---
    They separated us?
[20:48] ---
    Where the hell is their Tohru?
[20:51] ---
    Big Brother!
[20:55] ---
    Don't get in my way!
[21:12] ---
    Kyohma! Behind you!
[21:51] ---
    Sidune?
[23:25] ---
    We got a fan letter!
[23:26] ---
    "Who's stronger, Dogma or Magma?" It says.
[23:29] ---
    We're a team, but we're also rivals!
    A battle is inevitable!
[23:33] ---
    Going down together,
    the two corpses side by side...
[23:35] ---
    The battle continues to the ends of hell!
