    Take Nozomi and get out of here.

    Systema? The martial arts used
    by Russian special forces?

[00:17] ---
    We need to work hard enough
    to justify our salaries.
[00:21] ---
    Let's play, Magical Girl.
[00:25] ---
    This might not be easy.
[02:09] ---
    Iizuka-san...
[02:10] ---
    Yeah, I can hear you.
[02:12] ---
    I've recovered the hostage.
[02:14] ---
    She's stable.
[02:16] ---
    Rapture is in combat with the terrorists.
[02:19] ---
    I've got an ambulance
    on standby, I'm sending it over.
[02:21] ---
    Put the hostage aboard.
[02:22] ---
    Roger.
[02:25] ---
    What sound does a Magical Girl make
    when you cut off her limb, I wonder?

[02:53] ---
    They've applied a military two-man
    cell technique to magical combat.
[02:58] ---
    I need to do something about that spirit.
[03:01] ---
    This is M Squad.
[03:02] ---
    We have the hostage.
[03:05] ---
    We will now support the Magical Girls.
[03:08] ---
    A terrorist with a bomb
    is in a standoff in Ookubo,
[03:11] ---
    and the riot police have him surrounded.
[03:13] ---
    That's what we're telling the press.
[03:16] ---
    Thanks,
[03:17] ---
    Commissioner Miura.
[03:19] ---
    And Inspector Makino,
[03:21] ---
    your daughter is safe.
[03:28] ---
    According to our interrogations
    of Kim Kanth,
[03:31] ---
    they have an illegally-created
    Magical Girl backing them,
[03:35] ---
    as well as magical mercenaries.
[03:38] ---
    I see.
[03:40] ---
    But...
[03:41] ---
    This was expected.
[03:43] ---
    M Squad's troops are elite,
[03:45] ---
    but they're still human, right?
[03:47] ---
    How will you fight?
[03:49] ---
    Don't worry.
[03:52] ---
    My squad has very realistic
    tactics for dealing with Magical Girls.
[04:12] ---
    I need to go save Asuka-san.
[04:19] ---
    You're gonna pay for what
    you did back there.
[04:35] ---
    Magical Girl Barber Scissors Abby.
[04:40] ---
    M-Magical Girl?
[04:44] ---
    I'll cut you to pieces with
    my magical scissors.

[05:44] ---
    Rapture Talon:
[05:45] ---
    the Magical Karambit,
    but magically grown to a huge size!
[05:49] ---
    It uses up a lot of magical energy,
[05:51] ---
    but it hits hard, chu!
[05:58] ---
    Using that big move
    has drained my magic, but...
[06:03] ---
    In a one-on-one fight,
[06:04] ---
    you're no match for me.
[06:11] ---
    Thanks to you,
[06:14] ---
    I was able to get my sense
    for magical combat back.
[06:20] ---
    Sacchuu!
[06:22] ---
    Leave it to me, chu!
[06:23] ---
    Go!
[06:26] ---
    War Nurse!
[06:29] ---
    I want to kill you.
[06:31] ---
    I really want to kill you, but...
[06:34] ---
    The queen's orders must be followed!
[06:38] ---
    The queen...
[06:40] ---
    Her commander?
[06:42] ---
    I'll beat you half to death
    and then kidnap you.
[06:44] ---
    I'll let you off easy today.
[06:52] ---
    Two Halloween-classes?
[06:55] ---
    No, these are also enhanced!
[07:19] ---
    Gotcha!
[07:55] ---
    Gobu!
[08:10] ---
    I see.
[08:11] ---
    She's just as strong, huh?
[08:15] ---
    That's my Asuka!
[08:18] ---
    That concludes my report, Your Majesty.
[08:21] ---
    Why are you sneaking around, chu?!
[08:25] ---
    Who is your leader, this "queen," chu?
[08:30] ---
    I ain't tellin' you, gobu!
[08:33] ---
    Gobu! Gobu!
[08:34] ---
    Well,
[08:35] ---
    compared to the queen,
    you guys ain't nothing but tras—
[08:38] ---
    Gobu!
[08:39] ---
    Spirit Punch!
[08:43] ---
    Sacchuu got 'im, chu!
[08:46] ---
    Why try to kill him?
[08:49] ---
    Seal his magic and capture
    him while he's still breathing.
[08:51] ---
    Right away, chu.
[08:53] ---
    Iizuka-san,
[08:55] ---
    the magical mercenaries are down,
[08:57] ---
    and the enemy fairy has been captured.
[08:59] ---
    Well done.
[09:00] ---
    Tell Sacchuu to bring it here.
[09:04] ---
    Is Nozomi okay?
[09:05] ---
    Yeah.
[09:07] ---
    But War Nurse is in combat with the enemy.
[09:11] ---
    They followed her.
[09:13] ---
    She's in combat to your southwest.
[09:15] ---
    Roger!
[09:20] ---
    Look at you. You're a mess.
[09:24] ---
    Everybody talks about the Magical Five,
[09:26] ---
    but you're nothing.
[09:29] ---
    I...
[09:31] ---
    I don't like that.
[09:34] ---
    That Magical Five thing.
[09:37] ---
    There were eleven of us!
[09:40] ---
    We five were just the only survivors.
[09:45] ---
    It's the six who died who should be legends!
[09:51] ---
    God damn, you're gloomy!
[10:10] ---
    Well, you hung in there.
[10:13] ---
    I guess I'll just take off below
    the knees, so you can't run.
[10:29] ---
    Chief,
[10:30] ---
    our firing tests were accurate.
[10:32] ---
    A bullet with an Orichalcum core can
    penetrate a Halloween-class's magic shield.
[10:36] ---
    It was extremely effective.
[10:38] ---
    Well done.
[10:39] ---
    M Squad, begin the attack!
[10:43] ---
    Ise, take out the Disas beast.
[10:45] ---
    Kaede, use APHE rounds to
    deal with the enemy Magical Girl.
[11:01] ---
    Are you okay?
[11:02] ---
    You came for me, didn't you?
[11:05] ---
    It's time to show you the
    results of our training.
[11:11] ---
    One Halloween-Class down.
[11:14] ---
    We are currently engaged
    with the enemy Magical Girl.
[11:17] ---
    The Magical Girl
[11:19] ---
    seems capable of deploying a magical shield
    more powerful than a Halloween-class's.
[11:22] ---
    It's fine.
[11:24] ---
    All you have to do is keep her where she is.
[11:28] ---
    Roger.
[11:30] ---
    I'll use special incendiary
    ammo to delay her.
[11:35] ---
    Who the fuck do you maggots think you are?
[11:41] ---
    M Squad's done all we can ask of them.
[11:44] ---
    The most effective way to deal
    with a Magical Girl...
[11:49] ---
    As of now,
[11:50] ---
    it's simply to send another
    Magical Girl at them.
[11:55] ---
    You seemed so happy when
    you cut the hostage's arm off.
[11:59] ---
    I'm surprised to see so much pain
    on your face after I cut off your fingers.
[12:03] ---
    Rapture, you bitch!
[12:06] ---
    When there are more Magical Girls,
[12:09] ---
    it means there's more trash like you!
[12:17] ---
    Wh-What is this?
[12:19] ---
    A magical cube?
[12:21] ---
    The source of the magic is...
[12:24] ---
    Over there!
[12:31] ---
    A new Magical Girl has appeared!
[12:33] ---
    M Squad has been
    cut off by a magical barrier!
[12:44] ---
    I can't make it with the magic I've got now.
[12:49] ---
    My queen...
[12:54] ---
    I know her!
[12:58] ---
    Who is she?
[12:59] ---
    Where have I seen her?
[13:04] ---
    The magical signal has disappeared.
[13:10] ---
    Looks like we've defeated the enemy.
[13:14] ---
    We didn't defeat them.
[13:16] ---
    They just left.
[13:19] ---
    The hostage was saved,
[13:21] ---
    and two Halloween-classes were defeated.
[13:24] ---
    This is a big success.
[13:26] ---
    Well, maybe not a big one,
[13:28] ---
    but it's enough.
[13:33] ---
    Why did they run?
[13:34] ---
    If they had fought, we would've...
[13:59] ---
    Rapture...
[14:00] ---
    War Nurse...
[14:03] ---
    Makino Akinori.
[14:06] ---
    As Nozomi's father,
[14:08] ---
    let me thank you.
[14:10] ---
    How is she doing?
[14:13] ---
    Thanks to War Nurse's skilled hands,
[14:17] ---
    her external wounds have healed.
[14:19] ---
    External wounds?
[14:20] ---
    Yeah.
[14:21] ---
    The mental damage...
[14:24] ---
    Just seeing a small pair
    of scissors is enough to...
[14:30] ---
    Nozomi, I'm sorry.
[14:32] ---
    Was I too loud?
[14:44] ---
    Please, no more!
[14:46] ---
    Don't hurt me with magic!
[14:48] ---
    Nozomi!
[14:49] ---
    I'll do anything! Please!
[14:51] ---
    They're not the enemy!
[14:53] ---
    They saved you!
[14:56] ---
    Why?
[14:57] ---
    Why won't you leave?
[14:59] ---
    I don't want to even see a Magical Girl!
[15:09] ---
    She's been like this ever since then.
[15:12] ---
    She might struggle with
    PTSD for the rest of her life.
[15:22] ---
    My magic can heal her.
[15:26] ---
    Really?
[15:27] ---
    It will involve removing all her
    memories of the past week, though.
[15:36] (Flashback) ---
    Let's eat lunch together.
[15:37] (Flashback) ---
    You know, you want to give your
    all at the thing you're good at, right?
[15:39] (Flashback) ---
    You need to have
    fun with your life right now!
[15:42] (Flashback) ---
    So let's do this again!
[15:46] ---
    But if you think it will save her...
[15:49] ---
    Wait.
[15:51] ---
    Rapture?
[15:54] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[15:58] ---
    War Nurse...
[16:00] ---
    Will there be any after-effects?
[16:01] ---
    No.
[16:03] ---
    But if any more time passes, and the trauma
    affixes itself to her nervous system...
[16:08] ---
    I won't be able to do anything.
[16:14] ---
    If it will make things
    easier for my daughter...
[16:20] ---
    Please.
[16:21] ---
    All right.
[16:23] ---
    That's your cue.
[16:24] ---
    Sacchuu!
[16:27] ---
    I will begin the memory-erasing procedure.
[16:29] ---
    Sacchuu,
[16:30] ---
    your job will be to project the contents
[16:33] ---
    of her brain environment in real
    time and monitor her condition.
[16:35] ---
    Roger.
[16:43] ---
    This is an autonomous needle
    for use in delicate operations.
[16:47] ---
    This procedure is to erase
    short-term memories,
[16:50] ---
    so the needle will extend
    into her hippocampus.
[16:53] ---
    In order to ensure that she doesn't
    experience any flashbacks,
[16:56] ---
    we will isolate the ganglions
    connected to episodic memory
[17:00] ---
    via the hippocampus.
[17:03] ---
    I'm injecting magically-charged
    microparticles into the hippocampus.
[17:17] ---
    It's done.
[17:19] ---
    When she wakes up,
[17:20] ---
    she'll be the daughter you once knew.
[17:26] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[17:31] ---
    Asuka-san, um...
[17:33] ---
    You may laugh if I say this, but...
[17:38] ---
    When I was a kid,
[17:40] ---
    my dream was to be a Magical Girl.
[17:43] ---
    A Magical Girl who used magic to defeat
    the bad guys and save everybody.
[17:49] ---
    But in reality,
[17:51] ---
    fighting the enemy isn't that simple.
[17:55] ---
    I've let many of my comrades
    die in the war three years ago.
[18:01] ---
    And this time,
[18:02] ---
    what happened to Nozomi...
[18:06] ---
    I knew it, I just didn't want to admit it.
[18:09] ---
    I can't protect anything.
[18:12] ---
    Don't say that, please.
[18:15] ---
    Kurumi...
[18:16] ---
    If it weren't for you,
[18:18] ---
    both Nozomi-san
    and I would've been killed.
[18:21] ---
    You saved us!
[18:23] ---
    Magical Girl Rapture Asuka saved us!
[18:27] ---
    So...
[18:28] ---
    I want you to keep your head up and fight,
[18:31] ---
    and know that the path
    you chose was the right one.
[18:33] ---
    But I can't.
[18:36] ---
    You can!
[18:38] ---
    I became a Magical Girl
    because I wanted to be like you.
[18:46] ---
    Thank you, Kurumi.
[18:56] ---
    Did you do the procedure
    on Makino Nozomi?
[18:59] ---
    It was successful.
[19:01] ---
    I see.
[19:07] ---
    It hurts to have someone
    you know get caught up in this.
[19:13] ---
    To tell the truth,
[19:15] ---
    I'd love it if we could solve this
    with just professional soldiers.
[19:19] ---
    But the truth of the matter is, right now,
[19:23] ---
    the only way to win a magical
    fight is to use Magical Girls.
[19:28] ---
    It's pathetic.
[19:30] ---
    Iizuka-san...
[19:33] ---
    You have things only you can do.
[19:37] ---
    Of course,
[19:38] ---
    we Magical Girls do, too.
[19:42] ---
    I'll join your spec-ops team.
[19:47] ---
    The Magical Girl Operations
    Development Unit,
[19:50] ---
    M Squad.
[19:54] ---
    Asuka-san!
[20:12] ---
    A Magical Girl who saves everyone, huh?
SIGN    JGSDF Narashino Garrison
[21:51] ---
    The hostage,
[21:52] ---
    Makino Nozomi
[21:54] ---
    has had both her face and
    identity identified by the terrorists.
[21:57] ---
    There's a chance they'll
    go after her again.
[22:01] ---
    In light of the psychological stress
    that would place on Rapture,
[22:04] ---
    I believe Makino Nozomi should
[22:06] ---
    be given a new identity
    and sent to a faraway school.
[22:10] ---
    Public Safety Foreign Affairs
     thinks differently.
[22:13] ---
    If they continue to go after Makino Nozomi,
[22:16] ---
    Foreign Affairs wants
    to use her as bait for a trap.
[22:21] ---
    She's bait, huh?
[22:24] ---
    To Foreign Affairs, yes.
[22:28] ---
    Two Magical Girls go to that school.
[22:33] ---
    Don't you think that's safer than
    trying to hide her somewhere?
[22:36] ---
    Let's give them what they want.
[22:42] ---
    Anyway, well done on the Rapture matter.
[22:45] ---
    Now the M Squad plan can really begin.
[22:51] ---
    Yes.
[22:55] ---
    Morning, Asuka!
[22:57] ---
    Hey. Morning, Nozomi.
[23:01] ---
    My Asuka's looking as pretty
    as ever this morning!
[23:06] ---
    Um...
[23:07] ---
    Are you feeling okay?
[23:10] ---
    Of course!
[23:11] ---
    It's the first time this year
    we're going to the pool!
[23:21] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[23:41] ---
    This is for the best.
[23:43] ---
    Asuka!
[23:44] ---
    There you are!
[23:46] ---
    Hey, are you free this weekend?
[23:49] ---
    Let's go see this!
[23:51] ---
    Cheerleader Samurai vs. Megaton Shark!
[23:56] ---
    It's starting this Saturday.
[23:59] ---
    What's wrong, Asuka?
[24:02] ---
    Nothing.
[24:06] ---
    I was looking forward to seeing it with you.
[24:12] ---
    A brief break after the battle!
[24:14] ---
    But when Magical Girl Just
    Cause Mia comes to Japan,
[24:17] ---
    there's more trouble in store!

    Next time: "Wish Upon a Star."
