    Sayako! Sayako!
[00:09] ---
    I couldn't do anything!
[00:12] ---
    All I could do was watch.
[00:15] ---
    I'm so weak.
[00:20] ---
    Magical Girl War Nurse Kurumi!
[00:23] ---
    Bear!
[00:44] ---
    Asuka-san?
[00:50] ---
    Um...
[00:52] ---
    It's been a while.
[00:59] ---
    Make sure you protect me from now on, okay?
[01:06] ---
    This is sudden,
[01:08] ---
    but we have another transfer
    student to introduce to you!
[01:13] ---
    I'll be learning here at this school
    with you all starting today.
[01:18] ---
    My name is Mugen Kurumi.
[01:21] ---
    It's nice to meet you all.
SIGN    Northern Mexico, Tijuana
[03:30] ---
    Magical Girl Just Cause Mia.
[03:35] ---
    It feels strange when you
    transform right in front of me.
[03:38] ---
    That's because of the Magical Girls'
     prosopagnosia inducing field.
[03:43] ---
    The one that keeps anyone from recognizing you
[03:45] ---
    as the person you were before you transformed,
    unless you reveal your identity.
[03:47] ---
    It still feels weird,
    and we know your identity.
[03:52] ---
    I think it's because my
    magical power is too strong.
[03:56] ---
    Now then...
[03:58] ---
    It's time to get going.
[04:05] ---
    I'll take point.
[04:15] ---
    Just like our source said.
[04:17] ---
    This is a drug cartel stronghold.
[04:42] ---
    Nice work.
[04:43] ---
    The power of that thing amazes
    me no matter how many times I see it.
[04:46] ---
    Specifically, it's a magically-induced
    increase in penetrating power.
[04:50] ---
    It went right through the walls,
[04:51] ---
    the door, a table with a metal
    plate embedded in it,
[04:54] ---
    and clean through NIJ Level IIIa body armor.
[04:59] ---
    That's crazy.
[05:00] ---
    Come on, stay focused.
[05:09] ---
    There's one more in the back.
[05:13] ---
    No traps.
[05:21] ---
    278867...
[05:25] ---
    98962627886792...
[05:34] ---
    Numbers?
[05:34] ---
    
[05:35] ---
    Who are you?
[05:37] ---
    We're not criminals.
[05:50] ---
    Ba...
[05:52] ---
    The Babel Brigade...
[05:54] ---
    A more terrible war...
[06:01] ---
    Wh... What the hell was that?
[06:04] ---
    Looks like there's more
    to this than a simple drug cartel.
[06:09] ---
    If magic's involved,
[06:12] ---
    that changes things.
[06:14] ---
    It doesn't change a thing.
[06:17] ---
    Crushing these fuckers is our job.
SIGN    A More Terrible War
[06:32] ---
    I heard you were with the SDF,
    researching magical combat.
[06:36] ---
    I'm still going to high school.
[06:39] ---
    I didn't expect you to just transfer here.
[06:41] ---
    Iizuka-san's got a lot of
    influence in strange places.
[06:46] ---
    When I told him that if he
    couldn't get me into your school,
[06:51] ---
    I was going to quit the Self-Defense Force,
     he got it done fast.
[06:55] ---
    I'm half-kidding.
[06:58] ---
    Were you thinking I sound like a stalker?
[07:02] ---
    No,
[07:03] ---
    I was just a little surprised.
[07:07] ---
    That Halloween-class...
[07:10] ---
    The situation's changing.
[07:13] ---
    But it's not my problem anymore.
[07:16] ---
    The enemy disagrees.
[07:18] ---
    It's better if we're both in one place
    as much as possible.
[07:23] ---
    If we could live in the same place, too...
[07:26] ---
    Hey!
[07:28] ---
    You two transfer students
    are friends already, huh?
[07:32] ---
    I'm Makino Nozomi.
[07:34] ---
    This is Hata Sayako.
[07:36] ---
    Hi...
[07:40] ---
    You're Asuka-san's friends, right?
[07:42] ---
    Yay! Yay! Yay!
[07:44] ---
    Yes, I guess.
[07:46] ---
    "You guess"?
[07:50] ---
    I'm Asuka-san's best friend.
[07:56] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[07:58] ---
    Yay! Yay! Yay!
[08:08] ---
    Asuka-san, the Salisbury
    steak today is great.
[08:11] ---
    Want some?
[08:13] ---
    Okay, just a little.
[08:16] ---
    Say, "Aah!"
[08:29] ---
    You two are really close, huh?
[08:32] ---
    Yes.
[08:33] ---
    Hey,
[08:34] ---
    so exactly what is Asuka-san to you?
[08:37] ---
    My goddess.
[08:40] ---
    Deep!
[08:42] ---
    So Asuka-san, what do you think of Kurumi-san?
[08:47] ---
    Let me see...
[08:49] ---
    She's somebody close to me
    that I can count on.
[08:52] ---
    She's not just kind. She's strong.
[08:55] ---
    There are lots of times when I've been in
    trouble and only made it out because of her.
[08:59] ---
    Asuka-san...
[09:06] ---
    Sayako?
[09:09] ---
    It's okay.
[09:10] ---
    Come on, inhale.
[09:13] ---
    Exhale...
[09:16] ---
    What happened to her?
[09:19] ---
    She was at the scene of
    the Iidabashi terrorist attack.
[09:22] ---
    Fortunately, she was unharmed, but...
[09:26] ---
    Sorry.
[09:28] ---
    I'm fine now.
[09:30] ---
    Things have been so crazy lately, right?
[09:33] ---
    I wonder if there's something we can do.
[09:35] ---
    "Something?"
[09:37] ---
    You know,
[09:38] ---
    there's that stuff they sell online.
[09:39] ---
    Self-defense items.
[09:41] ---
    Bulletproof vests.
[09:42] ---
    If you don't train,
[09:43] ---
    a bulletproof vest is really heavy.
[09:45] ---
    It's better to just run away.
[09:48] ---
    That's right.
[09:49] ---
    Let the police handle the dangerous stuff.
[09:52] ---
    I see.
[09:53] ---
    Well,
[09:54] ---
    if things get really bad,
    the Magical Girls will save us, right?
[10:07] ---
    Huh?
[10:08] ---
    Did I say something weird?
[10:10] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:11] ---
    No, that's not it.
[10:13] ---
    Let's keep things a little
    more cheerful, okay?
[10:16] ---
    That's right.
[10:16] ---
    Cheerful.
[10:19] ---
    Right?
[10:22] ---
    Hey, Kurumi-san, do you swim?
[10:25] ---
    Yes, a bit.
[10:27] ---
    Why don't we all go to the pool Sunday?
[10:32] ---
    The pool?
[10:33] ---
    Yeah, the pool!
[10:36] ---
    The pool, where water
    droplets bounce off soft skin!
[10:39] ---
    Where you get to admire rippling
    muscles and beautiful curves!
[10:49] ---
    I don't know about beautiful curves,
[10:51] ---
    but I do like the idea of swimming.
[10:54] ---
    If Asuka-san's going...
[10:57] ---
    I'm fine with that.
[10:58] ---
    Okay, great!
[11:00] ---
    Yay!
[11:10] ---
    That Makino Nozomi
    girl sure is pushy, huh?
[11:15] ---
    But she's a good girl.
    She keeps everyone cheerful.
[11:29] ---
    This school's got a ton of
    workout machines, huh?
[11:34] ---
    There aren't a lot of people here,
    either, so it's easy to use them.
[11:38] ---
    You're a researcher.
[11:40] ---
    Do you need to train?
[11:42] ---
    I'm a Magical Girl.
[11:44] ---
    I never know what will happen.
[11:47] ---
    You're strong.
[11:48] ---
    I'm not strong.
[11:51] ---
    Then how can you still fight so
    optimistically after that awful battle?
[11:59] ---
    Because...
[12:03] (Flashback) ---
    Hey, does it stink?
[12:05] (Flashback) ---
    I smell vomit.
[12:07] (Flashback) ---
    So do I.
[12:09] (Flashback) ---
    That's strange.
[12:10] (Flashback) ---
    I know we washed her.
[12:13] (Flashback) ---
    Want to wash her again?
[12:15] (Flashback) ---
    There's no point.
[12:16] (Flashback) ---
    She won't smell better no matter
    how many times you do it.
[12:18] (Flashback) ---
    Why not just stay here all day?
[12:21] (Flashback) ---
    Nobody wants you stinking
    up the classroom.
[12:24] (Flashback) ---
    Please... just...
[12:28] (Flashback) ---
    You're garbage.
    Garbage doesn't breathe.
[12:32] ---
    I like myself now that I can
    transform into a Magical Girl.
[12:37] ---
    I don't like the person
    I was when I couldn't.
[12:42] ---
    What about you, Asuka-san?
[12:44] ---
    You said you wanted
    to quit being a Magical Girl,
[12:47] ---
    but you're still in excellent shape.
[12:50] ---
    I like keeping myself in shape.
[12:53] ---
    Is that really all?
[12:57] ---
    I'm scared.
[12:58] ---
    Maybe.
[13:00] ---
    Scared?
[13:02] ---
    Of the enemy?
[13:04] ---
    No.
[13:05] ---
    Of becoming weak.
[13:32] ---
    This way.
[13:34] ---
    What's this about?
[13:47] ---
    Welcome, Master!
[13:50] ---
    Welcome.
[13:54] ---
    They're both ace members of the JGSDF.
[13:57] ---
    These are the members of M Squad,
[13:59] ---
    an elite unit within the Special Forces Group,
    specializing in magical combat.
[14:04] ---
    I'm Shima.
[14:05] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[14:08] ---
    Kaede.
[14:10] ---
    This is M Squad's secret base.
[14:13] ---
    We can't do anything too crazy
    in a government-owned building.
[14:16] ---
    But why a maid café?
[14:19] ---
    I didn't exactly sign up for this, either!
[14:21] ---
    Calm down, Kaede! Calm down!
[14:24] ---
    There's a staircase in the back
    that leads to sub-basement B2.
[14:27] ---
    There's a training room and an armory.
[14:29] ---
    Hey.
[14:30] ---
    We've been over this.
[14:32] ---
    I'm not...
[14:33] ---
    There's been a huge increase
    in magical item smuggling lately.
[14:38] ---
    The war's over.
[14:40] ---
    That's right.
[14:41] ---
    The war's over.
[14:42] ---
    And a new order is being born.
[14:45] ---
    Criminal spirits are trading magic
    for rare materials from Earth.
[14:51] ---
    Leftover remnants from the war?
[14:53] ---
    "Remnants" isn't the right
    way of looking at it anymore.
[14:57] ---
    They were able to modify
    that Halloween-class.
[15:00] ---
    Somebody big is backing them.
[15:03] ---
    And that's not all.
[15:04] ---
    We're even seeing illegal Magical Girls.
[15:08] ---
    The world's rules have changed.
[15:10] ---
    And a new world needs new power.
[15:16] ---
    It needs your power,
[15:18] ---
    Magical Girl Rapture.
[15:22] ---
    I...
[15:41] ---
    Magical...
[15:43] ---
    What?
[15:44] ---
    What did you say?
[15:46] ---
    Magical Girl...
[15:49] ---
    Prey...
[15:50] ---
    Remake the world...
[15:53] ---
    The world?
[15:54] ---
    Not the Japanese government?
[15:57] ---
    New organization...
[15:59] ---
    Library of Babel...
[16:02] ---
    Babel Brigade...
[16:04] ---
    A more... terrible... war...
[16:09] ---
    Magical Girls are prey, huh?
[16:12] ---
    This case is a bigger
    deal than I thought, huh?
[16:15] ---
    We'll have to change all our
    assumptions about this enemy.
[16:20] ---
    What can we do against
    an enemy like this?
[16:24] ---
    We're cops.
[16:27] ---
    Magic or not,
[16:29] ---
    we just do our jobs.
[16:32] ---
    So that normal people can live in peace.
[16:51] ---
    What a beautiful sight.
[16:53] ---
    Nozo-chan,
[16:54] ---
    you're such an old man.
[16:56] ---
    Well, our own forces are just as strong.
[17:09] ---
    Beautiful!
[17:11] ---
    Nozo-chan...
[17:13] ---
    Aw,
[17:14] ---
    "beautiful" is going too far.
[17:16] ---
    Right, Asuka-san?
[17:22] ---
    Asuka-san, wait!
[17:25] ---
    Okay! Me, too!
[17:36] ---
    Hey.
[17:38] ---
    Thank you for coming, guys.
[17:41] ---
    What's that for?
[17:44] ---
    Sayako's still pretty down.
[17:49] ---
    She's a total four-eyes who
    always has her nose in a book,
[17:52] ---
    but she likes to swim.
[17:54] ---
    Do her glasses have
    anything to do with anything?
[17:57] ---
    I'm glad you came.
[18:00] ---
    Why?
[18:02] ---
    She likes cool girls like you and me.
[18:07] ---
    I think it makes her more excited.
[18:10] ---
    Cool?
[18:13] ---
    Hey, where is she?
[18:17] ---
    Is that her?
[18:20] ---
    She dives?
[18:23] ---
    No,
[18:24] ---
    she's never mentioned it before.
[19:22] ---
    I'm glad nothing bad happened.
[19:25] ---
    Really.
[19:26] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:28] ---
    You did a great job with that dive.
[19:30] ---
    I'm tired of being so scared I can't move.
[19:37] ---
    Everyone's moving forward, aren't they?
[19:42] ---
    Feel better?
[19:44] ---
    Yeah.
[19:44] ---
    I bet.
[19:46] ---
    You were staring at lots
    of crotches at the pool.
[19:49] ---
    I was not.
[19:50] ---
    You were, too.
[19:52] ---
    We know you're a perv.
[19:54] ---
    Nozo-chan!
[19:58] ---
    What's wrong, Asuka-san?
[20:01] ---
    Nothing...
[20:03] ---
    I was just wondering if it was
    okay to do things like this.
[20:09] ---
    Of course it is.
[20:11] ---
    Otherwise, you'll regret it when you grow
    up and work eighty-hour weeks.
[20:14] ---
    Eighty-hour weeks?
[20:16] ---
    You need to have
    fun with your life right now!
[20:17] ---
    So let's do this again!
[20:22] ---
    Yeah.
[20:25] ---
    How about we go there next?
[20:29] ---
    Cheerleader Samurai vs. Megaton Shark?
[20:34] ---
    This?
[20:36] ---
    Doesn't it look good?
[20:38] ---
    What do you think, Asuka?
[20:40] ---
    Fine with me, I guess.
[20:42] ---
    Okay, let's do it, then!
[20:44] ---
    I'll go get tickets to see it soon.
[20:49] ---
    Here you go.
[20:52] ---
    If Asuka-san's going...
[20:55] ---
    Yeah.
[20:56] ---
    Let's come back again, all four of us.
[20:59] ---
    Okay, see you later.
[21:01] ---
    Bye!
[21:04] ---
    I'll be going, then.
[21:06] ---
    See you.
[21:09] ---
    Asuka-san...
[21:11] ---
    Is school fun?
[21:15] ---
    Yeah.
[21:16] ---
    I think it is.
[21:19] ---
    That's why I don't want
    to be a Magical Girl anymore.
[21:23] ---
    I don't want to lose any more
    of the people close to me.
[21:27] ---
    Right...
[21:30] ---
    I'm glad you have friends here.
[21:33] ---
    See you tomorrow.
[21:38] ---
    Not fighting because you have
    things you care about...
[21:41] ---
    You're supposed to do the
    opposite, Asuka-san.
[21:58] ---
    You're Makino Nozomi,
[21:59] ---
    daughter of Makino Akinori from
    the Foreign Affairs Police, right?
[22:14] ---
    Now we have all the cards we need.
SIGN    I can't wait to see the movie.
[24:12] ---
    Nozomi was kidnapped, chu!
[24:14] ---
    Terrible torture or execution...

    going through makes me shiver, chu!
