    This is an unfair system of taxation,
[02:02] ---
    which could not possibly have
    the approval of the populace!
[02:05] ---
    I believe that this bill should
    be rejected without delay.
[02:08] ---
    I would like to ask your thoughts
    on the issue, Prime Minister!
[02:11] ---
    Well, the government's
    stance regarding this matter
[02:14] ---
    is that we believe the public will,
    in fact, endorse this, th...
[02:22] ---
    Prime Minister!
[02:29] ---
    What is this? A movie or something?
[02:31] ---
    I thought it was a broadcast
    of the Diet proceedings.
[02:44] ---
    V-Virtually annihilated, you say?!
[02:47] ---
    Our army is the pride of the world!
[02:49] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
    What manner of monsters are we up against?
[02:52] ---
    Where did they come from?
    Where have they been hiding all this time?!
[02:56] ---
    Do you really want to know, Mr. President?
[03:00] ---
    Y-You're one of...
[03:02] ---
    We have been right beside you all,
[03:06] ---
    for quite some time now.
[03:18] ---
    We have taken control of all areas.
[03:22] ---
    From this day forth, we of
    Chronos shall rule this planet.
[03:28] ---
    In a Conquered Town
[03:46] ---
    Yeah!
[03:55] ---
    Good afternoon, everyone.
    It has now been a year since the Reform.
[03:59] ---
    Exactly one year ago today,
    Chronos took control of the entire world.
[04:05] ---
    The world went through a
    sudden and dramatic change
[04:07] ---
    as this supranational military
    organization came into power.
[04:11] ---
    National borders were done away with,
[04:12] ---
    Strength is Love
    Now Recruiting Candidates for Optimization!
[04:12] ---
    Chronos Regulation Bureau, Japan Branch
[04:13] ---
    in effect eliminating various international disputes.
[04:17] ---
    And with the practical applications
    of Chronos's advanced technologies,
[04:20] ---
    there have been rapid
    advancements in the medical field,
[04:22] ---
    and the state of the natural
    environment has also been improving.
[04:25] ---
    However, what Chronos has focused most of its power on
[04:26] ---
    Strength is Love
    Now Recruiting Candidates for Optimization!
[04:26] ---
    Chronos Regulation Bureau, Japan Branch
[04:29] ---
    is the evolution of humankind into a new species,
[04:31] ---
    that is to say, the optimization into Zoanoids.
[04:34] ---
    Of course, as Chronos holds
    that the choice to be optimized
[04:36] ---
    should be made of one's own free will,
[04:39] ---
    the process is by no means compulsory.
[04:41] ---
    However, there is no doubt that optimization
    presents limitless possibilities for our species.
[04:50] ---
    Looks heavy. Lemme help!
[04:52] ---
    No thanks.
[04:53] ---
    C'mon, don't be like that!
[04:55] ---
    Where's your place? Is it nearby?
[04:58] ---
    You've sure got a lotta stuff there!
    So, you got a big family?
[05:02] ---
    C'mon, don't look all scared like that!
[05:04] ---
    See, I got power! How 'bout I show you?
[05:07] ---
    So you're a Zoanoid, right?
[05:09] ---
    Going by your physique and vibes,
    I'd say you're a Gregore.
[05:13] ---
    How'd...
[05:15] ---
    You've got another thing
    coming if you think all the girls
[05:17] ---
    will fall for you just 'cuz you've been optimized.
[05:21] ---
    Natsuki Taga
[05:38] ---
    Here's another week's worth of food.
[05:41] ---
    Thank you for your hard work.
[05:43] ---
    That must have been heavy, Natsuki.
[05:46] ---
    I'm sorry to always be putting
    you through such trouble.
[05:49] ---
    It's nothing at all!
[05:51] ---
    Not compared to what you
    guys have been through,
[05:53] ---
    spending a whole year shut up in here like this.
[05:56] ---
    If we had known it would be for so long,
[05:57] ---
    I would have gotten my uncle
    to rent you a nicer place.
[06:00] ---
    But all we thought about was finding
    a place where you wouldn't be seen.
[06:04] ---
    If it weren't for you,
    I don't know where we'd be now.
[06:07] ---
    That's right. We somehow survived
    the disaster at Mount Minakami,
[06:11] ---
    but now Chronos is after us.
[06:14] ---
    I don't know if we would have managed
    to evade them for a whole year.
[06:18] ---
    Not having Master Agito or Sho...
[06:21] ---
    They're alive. I'm certain that
    Sho and Makishima are alive.
[06:25] ---
    We believe that, so we can hold out.
[06:29] ---
    Tetsuro...
[06:36] ---
    Oh, that's right!
[06:37] ---
    Tetsuro's mother and father aren't
    under Chronos surveillance anymore.
[06:42] ---
    For real?
[06:43] ---
    It looks like they concluded that
    you did all die at Mount Minakami,
[06:47] ---
    since you haven't shown up anywhere.
[06:49] ---
    Putting up with this for a
    whole year paid off, didn't it?
[06:55] ---
    But then, our parents will also think that we've...
[07:00] ---
    Yeah, that's what they've been told.
[07:06] ---
    I see...
[07:08] ---
    That's fine.
[07:10] ---
    If we're "dead," then that means
    our folks will be in the clear.
[07:14] ---
    But they're not under surveillance anymore,
[07:17] ---
    so let's let them know we're still alive! In secret!
[07:19] ---
    There's no way Mom would be
    able to bear thinking we've died!
[07:23] ---
    Forget it!
[07:26] ---
    Have you forgotten what
    happened to Sho's dad?!
[07:29] ---
    If we do anything careless now,
    this whole year will have been a waste!
[07:35] ---
    Now you listen, Tetsuro!
[07:36] ---
    I don't think there's any need
    to go off on her like that!
[07:39] ---
    Just look at yourself, with that
    scraggly stubble on your face!
[07:41] ---
    You old goat!
[07:42] ---
    You have no idea what a
    terrible opponent Chronos is.
[07:46] ---
    I can see enough online without
    even needing to set foot outside.
[07:49] ---
    In just a year, Chronos has altered
    the values of everyone on Earth.
[07:55] ---
    The number of people who
    willingly submit themselves
[07:57] ---
    to Zoanoid optimization keeps on increasing!
[07:59] ---
    Only complete morons do that.
[08:02] ---
    Yeah, well, if it keeps up,
    it's going to be a disaster.
[08:05] ---
    We've got to be ready for when
    Sho and Makishima come back.
[08:09] ---
    Well, that's very admirable of you,
[08:12] ---
    but you need to consider how Mizuki feels too!
[08:14] ---
    You're starting to get a little whacked out.
[08:19] ---
    Tetsuro!
[08:20] ---
    Natsuki...
[08:27] ---
    I'm going home.
[08:32] ---
    I'm sorry...
[08:34] ---
    Next time, I'm only going to
    bring stuff that Tetsuro hates.
[08:38] ---
    Thank you so much.
[08:52] ---
    We'll see Mom and Dad again, count on it.
[08:55] ---
    Just deal with this a little longer,
[08:57] ---
    until Sho and Makishima come back.
[09:03] ---
    Sure...
[09:14] ---
    But it's been a year already.
[09:18] ---
    Is Sho really...
[09:20] ---
    Mizuki, be careful.
[09:25] ---
    Sorry...
[09:33] ---
    Shizu's always so cool and composed.
[09:36] ---
    I'll bet the idea of Makishima being
    dead never even crossed her mind.

[09:40] ---
    I've got to believe too.
[09:44] ---
    I've got to believe, if it takes one
    or two, or however many years...

[09:55] ---
    I guess being crammed together
    in a place like that for a year
[09:57] ---
    would drive anyone crazy.
[10:03] ---
    Fukamachi, if you're still alive,
    then come back to us!
[10:18] ---
    That helicopter is for the Twelve Zoalords.
[10:21] ---
    So busy these days...
[10:40] ---
    Sin!
[10:41] ---
    It's been a while, Purgstall.
[10:45] ---
    Haven't seen you since the Relic crashed.
[10:48] ---
    All seems well in Japan.
[10:50] ---
    Yeah!
[10:51] ---
    How is it on your end, over in the Dead Sea?
[10:55] ---
    That is what brings me here
    to get Barcas the Elder.
[10:58] ---
    Where is he now?
[11:06] ---
    It has been some time, Doctor Barcas.
[11:09] ---
    Is that you, Sin?
[11:11] ---
    I must ask that you come
    out to the Dead Sea soon.
[11:15] ---
    Yes, I know. But can you give
    me just a little more time?
[11:20] ---
    I trust you understand the nature of
    the project being carried out there.
[11:26] ---
    The liquid components in the Dead Sea have
    already mutated into their second phase.
[11:30] ---
    In a while, it will all be
    identical to amniotic fluid.
[11:35] ---
    Such a large-scale optimization has never
    been conducted in the history of Chronos.
[11:40] ---
    We must have your assistance with this.
[11:43] ---
    I cannot afford to leave here right now.
[11:48] ---
    Not before this one is ready to go.
[11:51] ---
    What is this?
[11:53] ---
    Well now, only a little longer...
[12:44] ---
    Yohei, could you keep it down?
    You're distracting me!
[12:48] ---
    Ah, I'm terribly sorry.
[12:53] ---
    Tetsuro, that's no way to talk to Yohei!
[12:56] ---
    Yohei's doing it for us!
[12:59] ---
    Well, I can't concentrate!
[13:01] ---
    Then maybe you should stop what you're doing!
[13:03] ---
    You can finish whatever it is later!
[13:04] ---
    "Whatever it is"?!
[13:06] ---
    It's okay, Mizuki! I'm not in any hurry.
[13:10] ---
    How can you be so humble, Yohei?
[13:13] ---
    We're not your employers or anything like that!
[13:17] ---
    Of course, I am aware of that...
[13:39] ---
    I'm so frustrated...
[13:42] ---
    Done!
[13:52] ---
    I'm giving this to Master Agito.
[14:00] ---
    Shizu!
[14:01] ---
    Shizu, this whole time, you've...
[14:05] ---
    Master Agito is...
[14:09] ---
    Shizu, the young master's...
[14:16] ---
    Master Agito... Master Agito is...
[14:19] ---
    Shizu!
[14:20] ---
    Master Agito!
[14:25] ---
    No!
[14:31] ---
    Shizu, get a grip!
[14:34] ---
    Relax, Shizu!
[14:38] ---
    Shizu, Makishima is alive! I'm sure he's alive!
[14:42] ---
    Stop it, please!
[14:43] ---
    There is no longer any hope!
[14:45] ---
    Tetsuro, do you really think those
    two are alive? After that explosion?
[14:52] ---
    Do you really believe that they're coming back?!
[15:05] ---
    I'm sorry...
[15:07] ---
    I went too far.
[15:09] ---
    Tetsuro, I'm also... I just don't think...
[15:14] ---
    Mizuki, if we don't believe in Sho, then who will?
[15:19] ---
    But it's been a year!
[15:21] ---
    A whole year and nothing!
[15:28] ---
    Believe.
[15:30] ---
    It's unfair to say that
[15:32] ---
    when you don't even believe it yourself!
[15:34] ---
    Sho is dead!
[15:38] ---
    Stop it!!
[15:57] ---
    Mizuki!
[16:02] ---
    Mizuki?!
[16:04] ---
    Mizuki!
[16:05] ---
    What's going on?
[16:12] ---
    It's over with... Sho...
[16:16] ---
    I'll never see him again!
[16:26] ---
    It's unfair to say that
[16:27] ---
    when you don't even believe it yourself!
[16:33] ---
    Is this how weak we've become?
    After only a single year?

[16:38] ---
    Mizuki...
[16:44] ---
    Where is she? If she's discovered
    by the Regulation Bureau...

[17:01] ---
    This is... How did I end up here?
[17:11] ---
    Home!
[17:19] ---
    My home...
[17:39] ---
    Father... Mother...
[17:47] ---
    I want to see them!
[17:49] ---
    I want to say I'm home!
[17:56] ---
    Those are...
[18:01] ---
    You there!
[18:04] ---
    What are you doing out here like this?
[18:07] ---
    Um, nothing...
[18:09] ---
    And without an umbrella, even...
    Are you a high schooler?
[18:13] ---
    Yes, sir. I mean, well...
[18:15] ---
    Where do you live?
[18:18] ---
    You a runaway?
[18:19] ---
    No, sir! I'm...
[18:21] ---
    Haven't I seen you somewhere?
[18:24] ---
    Aha!
[18:26] ---
    I thought you'd be here!
[18:28] ---
    Do you know her?
[18:30] ---
    I'm her older sister.
[18:31] ---
    Ever since she broke up with her boyfriend,
[18:33] ---
    she keeps coming near his house
    and standing there all bewildered.
[18:36] ---
    Give it up already, Michiko! We're going home.
[18:43] ---
    Okay, Sis...
[18:45] ---
    Sorry to trouble you, Officers.
[18:49] ---
    What the heck was that all about?
[18:52] ---
    Hey, something the matter?
[18:54] ---
    Nah, I could have sworn I've
    seen her somewhere, though.
[19:00] ---
    That was the younger sister!
[19:01] ---
    You know, that brother
    and sister who are wanted!
[19:03] ---
    What?! But those two were
    just taken off the wanted list!
[19:07] ---
    They are alive!
[19:09] ---
    This is a big find!
[19:12] ---
    Get after those two!
    I'll contact the Regulation Bureau!
[19:15] ---
    R-Right!
[19:22] ---
    What are you doing?!
[19:23] ---
    What the hell do you think you're doing?!
    Let go of him immediately!
[19:27] ---
    S-Son of a bitch...
[19:44] ---
    Did you see the ghost charms?
[19:47] ---
    I went to check out your house earlier today.
[19:50] ---
    That's when your mom told me.
[19:53] ---
    She said that you and Tetsuro
    used to make those
[19:57] ---
    while she and your father
    were away on business trips.
[20:00] ---
    Ones for your mom and dad...
[20:06] ---
    Those are of you and Tetsuro.
[20:09] ---
    Your mom said she made them herself.
[20:15] ---
    Those are...
[20:17] ---
    I wanted to show these to you all.
[20:20] ---
    So, I had her make a couple for me.
[20:29] ---
    They also believe, your mom and dad...
[20:33] ---
    They believe you and Tetsuro are still alive.
[20:35] ---
    They're waiting for you to come home.
[21:04] ---
    I see, our folks did that...
[21:27] ---
    I believe again, that Sho is alive for sure.
[21:31] ---
    Mizuki...
[21:43] ---
    Master Agito...
[21:47] ---
    Sho... He'll come back, I know he will.

    This is what Agito, now the head
    of the Resistance, is in search of.

[23:34] ---
    Meanwhile, an assassin sent by
    Barcas stands in Aptom's way.

[23:39] ---
    Under nightfall, in a town under martial law,
    Mizuki rushes out in search of Sho.

[23:43] ---
    Next time: "Quickening of the Chrysalis."
[23:46] ---
    A burning soul sleeps inside it.
