[00:41] ---
    We're home.
[00:48] ---
    What's wrong, Tohru?
    You seem to want to be spoiled today.
[00:53] ---
    Because...
[00:55] ---
    Were you being a good boy?
[01:00] ---
    Yeah!
[01:01] ---
    All right, good boys get rewards.
[01:38] ---
    Take that! Battle Proton Beam!
[01:42] ---
    Hyper Altema!
[01:52] ---
    Let me join!
[01:54] ---
    Who are you?
[01:55] ---
    You got a weapon?
[01:57] ---
    Weapon?
[02:10] ---
    Tohru...
[02:12] ---
    What's wrong?
[02:16] ---
    Why are you here?
[02:19] ---
    Because I'm your mother, Tohru.
[02:22] ---
    That's not right...
[02:23] ---
    Because, you both are...
[02:30] ---
    What's wrong, Tohru?
[02:32] ---
    Did you have a bad dream?
[02:34] ---
    You were scared, right?
SIGN    Reuniting: A Bitter Dream
[04:38] ---
    Big Brother.
[04:41] ---
    Yeah. Does it hurt?
[04:45] ---
    I'm fine. What about Tohru?
[04:48] ---
    Don't worry about him.
    You should rest up.
[05:03] ---
    This can't be the end, can it, Tohru?
[05:27] ---
    Kyoka...
[05:29] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:31] ---
    Kyoka, your injury isn't bothering you?
[05:35] ---
    What injury?
[05:36] ---
    I mean, Kyoka, you were—
[05:39] ---
    Tohru, are you all right?
[05:42] ---
    You're acting strange, you know?
    You're drenched with sweat.
[05:45] ---
    Well...
[05:46] ---
    Don't tell me.
    Was it my big brother again?
[05:50] ---
    No, that's not it...
[05:54] ---
    Moments ago, over there...
    my parents were standing there.
[05:58] ---
    Yeah, and?
[05:59] ---
    But they can't be alive!
[06:02] ---
    The accident—
[06:05] ---
    Isn't that nice?
[06:07] ---
    You can be together with them forever.
[06:17] ---
    I'm sorry, I gotta go.
[06:21] ---
    Where are you going?
[06:23] ---
    Where?
[06:25] ---
    Well... I have to protect—
[06:27] ---
    Protect who?
[06:34] ---
    Who... is that?
[06:38] ---
    I'm right here, you know?
[06:41] ---
    I have to fight.
[06:43] ---
    If I don't, everyone will die.
[06:46] ---
    Even Sidune...
[06:48] ---
    Is something wrong with me?
[06:55] ---
    Didn't I already say?
    You don't have to force yourself to fight.
[07:01] ---
    You should do
    what you want to do, Tohru.
[07:03] ---
    Yeah, that's why...
[07:06] ---
    I wanted to protect everyone.
[07:10] ---
    But, you're scared?
[07:12] ---
    I am scared.
[07:14] ---
    But...
[07:15] ---
    Tohru, you were sad that Sidune died,
[07:19] ---
    but it's okay now.
[07:21] ---
    Everyone will be here,
    forever and always.
[07:26] ---
    That's not right...
[07:28] ---
    Sidune died. He shot her.
[07:32] ---
    Hey, what does it matter
    if you're alive or dead?
[07:38] ---
    Who are you?
[07:41] ---
    I'm Kyoka Katagiri.
    Have you forgotten about me?
[07:43] ---
    No, you're not Kyoka!
[07:46] ---
    Then, who would you prefer, Tohru?
[07:49] ---
    Is it me?
[07:52] ---
    Or is it me?
[07:56] ---
    Is it me?
[08:00] ---
    So it's me after all?
[08:37] ---
    Tohru, where are you going?
[08:39] ---
    He's a boy, so it's good
    to see him full of energy.
[08:43] ---
    Tohru, where are you going?
[08:46] ---
    No matter where you go,
    it's the same thing.
[08:48] ---
    Tohru.
[08:49] ---
    Tohru.
[08:50] ---
    Tohru.
[09:11] ---
    Oh, here you are!
[09:13] ---
    Where are you going in such a hurry?
[09:17] ---
    That way?
[09:26] ---
    No...
[09:27] ---
    Then, that way?
[09:37] ---
    Hey, Tohru?
[09:38] ---
    No matter how much effort you put in, Tohru...
    no matter how much you fight...
[09:42] ---
    You can't escape from time.
[09:45] ---
    Because everything has already ended.
[09:56] ---
    It's fine.
[09:58] ---
    You should rest up, Tohru.
[10:02] ---
    That's right. Relax... and close your eyes.
[10:08] ---
    So warm...
[10:10] ---
    Is this... really all right?
[10:13] ---
    You're fine. It's all right.
[10:23] ---
    You were groaning.
    Were you having a dream?
[10:28] ---
    Yeah, a scary dream...
[10:31] ---
    It's all right. I'll be here forever.
[11:00] ---
    What kind of picture did you draw?
[11:02] ---
    Um...
[11:11] ---
    HELP ME
[11:14] ---
    That's right, I...
[11:17] ---
    Tohru?
[11:38] ---
    We finally meet...
[11:43] ---
    How mysterious.
[11:45] ---
    Is this the truth
    behind the Desert Syndrome?
[11:50] ---
    Remy...
[11:52] ---
    Sir Tohru?
[11:53] ---
    Let's go back.
[11:55] ---
    We need to quickly
    prepare our countermeasures.
[11:58] ---
    Understood.
[12:06] ---
    Are you all right?
[12:10] ---
    You...
[12:12] ---
    Where am I?
[12:14] ---
    You've been swallowed up
    by the Dead End.
[12:18] ---
    Dead End?
[12:20] ---
    I'm referring to that sand.
[12:22] ---
    That's right.
[12:24] ---
    Remy used an Energy Cube
    and turned into sand...
[12:29] ---
    Just what is this really?
[12:31] ---
    An Energy Cube causes time
    to advance to the future.
[12:35] ---
    In other words, it accelerates time forward.
[12:38] ---
    Doctor Odhner also mentioned that.
[12:41] ---
    Then why did Remy turn into sand?
[12:44] ---
    Because that was his future,
    as it is for all of you...
[12:49] ---
    That sand... is our future?
[12:57] ---
    Let me tell you the story,
    from where it all began...
[13:09] ---
    This is?
[13:11] ---
    This is the end of our solar system,
    the Heliopause.
[13:16] ---
    The basic technology behind time control
[13:18] ---
    was initially found in this strange particle
    drifting through outer space.
[13:25] ---
    The Energy Cube was developed from that particle,
    and it was easy to mass-produce.
[13:33] ---
    Easily mass-produced, huh?
[13:35] ---
    Right.
[13:36] ---
    And the time machine technology
    was soon applied to something else.
[13:39] ---
    Something else?
[13:41] ---
    It was being used for military operations.
[13:45] ---
    Eventually, humanity would use the time machine,
    and find another world in an alternate time-space.
[13:51] ---
    However, both worlds
    had internal chaos hidden within.
[13:54] ---
    The two worlds meeting
    would not be fortunate.
[13:58] ---
    A giant war encompassing both worlds started.
[14:04] ---
    Follow me.
[14:12] ---
    Tohru, what do you think
    is the ultimate weapon?
[14:16] ---
    Ultimate? Doesn't that depend
    on the situation and objective?
[14:21] ---
    There are times a gun is useful,
    and others when you need a knife.
[14:24] ---
    Right. Then, let's make it
    so you can use both.
[14:30] ---
    Anything else?
[14:31] ---
    Let's see...
[14:33] ---
    Let's give it the ability
    to self-evolve and to learn.
[14:39] ---
    But no matter how strong the weapon,
    if you drop it, it's useless.
[14:45] ---
    Then...
[14:48] ---
    Now, you'll never drop it again.
    Anything else?
[14:51] ---
    Even if you can't drop the weapon,
    if they aim for the body...
[14:56] ---
    Right.
[15:10] ---
    The perfect weapon is one with human form
    and makes any and every type of attack possible.
[15:16] ---
    Ultimate and perfect, where time ends...
    that, in fact is...
[15:26] ---
    That is what the sand...
    Dead End... really is.
[15:30] ---
    By having the Energy Cube advance time,
    Dead End is created.
[15:35] ---
    We used Dead End in our war.
[15:41] ---
    No, I should say that we thought we were using it,
    but we were being used by Dead End.
[15:49] ---
    Dead End, with the power to absorb
    all sorts of energy and matter, analyze it, and replicate it,
[15:56] ---
    is the ultimate weapon.
[15:58] ---
    Those that use Dead End
    become part of Dead End.
[16:03] ---
    And those that lose against Dead End
    become absorbed by Dead End.
[16:08] ---
    What lies beyond...
[16:11] ---
    ...is a world where Dead End
    has swallowed everything.
[16:17] ---
    It's what brings an end to the world.
[16:19] ---
    That's why it's called Dead End.
[16:22] ---
    Then, who are the Timekeepers?
[16:25] ---
    Why do they give us Energy Cubes?
[16:28] ---
    The countless humans swallowed up
    into the Dead End
[16:32] ---
    have melded their psyches
    and harbor one will.
[16:36] ---
    That is the Timekeepers.
[16:39] ---
    The Timekeepers, after swallowing all of humanity
    from my world, headed to the past.
[17:22] ---
    I came here to stop that from happening.
[17:30] ---
    But if the world turns into sand,
[17:34] ---
    why did the Timekeepers come to the past?
[17:36] ---
    That's because—
[17:41] ---
    It was to save humanity, of course.
[17:45] ---
    You...
[17:47] ---
    Give Remy back to us!
[17:49] ---
    Remy is perfectly fine.
[17:51] ---
    We do not kill humans.
[17:54] ---
    We render them powerless
    and store their psyches as data.
[17:58] ---
    Despite everything,
    we are a humane weapon.
[18:01] ---
    We ended this war
    without killing anybody.
[18:06] ---
    If we were not here,
[18:08] ---
    the two worlds would probably
    have destroyed one another.
[18:12] ---
    Humans instinctively fight,
    and we give them salvation.
[18:18] ---
    Within us, humanity can find eternal peace.
[18:22] ---
    Just like how I was earlier?
[18:24] ---
    All of humanity can experience
    an eternal, blissful dream.
[18:30] ---
    That... you call that salvation?
[18:35] ---
    There is no need to worry.
    Because... everything has already ended.
[18:41] ---
    Disappear!
[18:47] ---
    Are you all right?
[18:49] ---
    Yes.
[18:51] ---
    But, my power is about to run out...
[18:53] ---
    I want you to tell me...
    what should we do?
[18:58] ---
    At your current technological level...
[19:01] ---
    If we have Energy Cubes, we can evolve.
[19:06] ---
    But if we do that,
    we're playing right into their hands.
[19:09] ---
    I had wanted to warn you
    before the fighting began.
[19:13] ---
    But the Timekeepers were interfering,
    and my voice did not reach you.
[19:21] ---
    But the fighting has already started.
[19:24] ---
    Perhaps I got here too late.
[19:31] ---
    The Energy Cube links us to the future.
[19:34] ---
    You told me...
    that the future was not determined yet.
[19:38] ---
    Normally, that would be correct.
[19:41] ---
    However, the Energy Cubes that the Timekeepers
     give you are linked to their future.
[19:49] ---
    We can't disconnect that link?
[19:52] ---
    We can... with my power,
    it can... be undone.
[19:56] ---
    If you wish to create a future you desire...
[19:59] ---
    Then...
[20:00] ---
    However, the birth of Dead End
    is an inevitable course of history...
[20:04] ---
    A few irregulars... the result... same...
[20:08] ---
    We can change it drastically!
[20:10] ---
    You are one of the eligible...
    with that power... but if you fail...
[20:16] ---
    You will, right now, be taken by Dead End...
[20:19] ---
    I don't care.
[20:21] ---
    That's better than
    ending right here, right now.
[20:23] ---
    Hold on a minute.
[20:25] ---
    Let go of me!
[20:27] ---
    Don't force your future on us anymore!
[20:31] ---
    How do you know that
    what she says is correct?
[20:34] ---
    I understand if you don't believe me...
[20:38] ---
    What?
[20:39] ---
    But perhaps she's forcing the future
    she wishes on you as well?
[20:45] ---
    To believe in someone
    can be a dangerous thing.
[20:49] ---
    That doesn't mean...
[20:51] ---
    ...that cooping myself up in a dream,
    and forsaking everyone else is a good thing!
[20:54] ---
    That just can't be!
[20:56] ---
    This girl fought for me... for us...
    and shed her blood.
[21:02] ---
    That's why I want to believe in you.
    No, I will believe in you.
[21:29] ---
    Wait. Don't disappear.
[21:32] ---
    I'm sure... we will meet again...
[21:36] ---
    in your future...
[23:25] ---
    Oh, my friend!
[23:27] ---
    Friendship is something easily broken.
[23:28] ---
    That's not true! Look at that!
[23:30] ---
    Something has appeared!
SIGN    DEMON
[23:31] ---
    Uniting before danger,
    that's the power of friendship!
[23:35] ---
    My friend is using me as a shield!
