[00:01] ---
    Once, the world was invaded
    by beasts from the world of Disas.
[00:07] ---
    They possessed the power
    to neutralize modern science,
[00:10] ---
    and humanity was powerless against them.
[00:13] ---
    But there were those who offered
    salvation to humanity in its hour of need.
[00:18] ---
    The Spirit World.
[00:20] ---
    With the help of the Spirit World,
[00:23] ---
    Magical Girls were born.
[00:25] ---
    After a fierce battle,
[00:27] ---
    the Disas were driven from Earth.
[00:31] ---
    Even after the great war ended,
[00:33] ---
    cooperation continued between
    the Spirit World and Earth:
[00:37] ---
    technology sharing, trade,
[00:40] ---
    and defense cooperation
    for when the Disas returned.
[00:53] ---
    It's summer over there.
[00:55] ---
    Do you have it?
[00:57] ---
    Yes, Tabira-sama.
[00:59] ---
    It's right here, ru.
[01:07] ---
    Wait for me...
[01:09] ---
    My beloved Magical Girls.

[02:54] ---
    So this is why you dragged
    us away from our field trip.
[02:58] ---
    The 6th Naha Two-World Conference on Trade...
[03:01] ---
    And we're supposed to protect it?
[03:04] ---
    I'm sorry we didn't tell you earlier.
[03:06] ---
    It's top secret, you see.
[03:08] ---
    "Top secret" doesn't mean you can...
[03:10] ---
    It's probably a lie!
[03:12] ---
    He's just trying to make
    it harder for you to refuse.
[03:17] ---
    I knew all about it, chu!
[03:21] ---
    Then why didn't you tell me?
[03:24] ---
    The plan is for her to come
    from the Spirit World.
[03:30] ---
    You mean...
[03:32] ---
    General Tabira?
[03:33] ---
    Is that why,
[03:35] ---

    What are you talking about?
SIGN    Conference Room 2
[03:42] ---
    You guys!
[03:43] ---
    Hey!
[03:45] ---
    It's been a while!
[03:48] ---
    It really has!
[03:57] ---
    Well, um...
[04:00] ---
    After the war ended three years ago,
[04:03] ---
    everybody went to join their home
    country's military and stuff.
[04:06] ---
    I know there are all these conflicts,
    and our countries want different things,
[04:09] ---
    so it can't be like it was before, probably.
[04:11] ---
    But we all survived that awful war together.
[04:18] ---
    So I'm happy to see you all again.
[04:20] ---
    Asuka-san!
[04:24] ---
    Asuka...
[04:28] ---
    This time I'm here as part of the
    UN Magical Security Council's observers.
[04:34] ---
    I'm looking forward to working with you.
[04:38] ---
    Yeah.
[04:41] ---
    Hey there.
[04:45] ---
    Where are Asuka and Kurumi?
[04:47] ---
    Asuka-san had to go back all of a sudden
    'cause of something involving her dad.
[04:51] ---
    And Kurumi-san said she'd go, too.
[04:54] ---
    Why Kurumi, too?
[04:56] ---
    She said she couldn't leave Asuka-san alone.
[05:06] ---
    It's so peaceful here, you know.
[05:09] ---
    Yeah.
[05:11] ---
    Maybe 'cause we're closer to the equator.
[05:13] ---
    It feels like the air is different.
[05:15] ---
    I don't want to go home at all.
[05:18] ---
    I know what you mean.
[05:20] ---
    Want to live here?
[05:21] ---
    We could fish for food and stuff.
[05:24] ---
    Fish, huh?
[05:25] ---
    I'd like some meat too, though.
[05:27] ---
    Um...
[05:29] ---
    Excuse me.
[05:31] ---
    Could you take a photo for us?
[05:33] ---
    Sure thing.
[05:35] ---
    Okay, you two.
[05:37] ---
    You need to get closer or you won't fit.
[05:39] ---
    Get real close!
[05:40] ---
    Closer!
[05:43] ---
    Yeah!
[05:45] ---
    Thank you.
[05:46] ---
    Not a problem!
[05:53] ---
    Nobody really notices anything
    wrong with the way you look, huh?
[05:58] ---
    What did we look like to them, I wonder?
[06:01] ---
    The concealment magic
    makes us hard to remember.
[06:04] ---
    They'll probably forget quickly.
[06:08] ---
    I see.
[06:11] ---
    They said it was peaceful here, didn't they?
[06:15] ---
    Yeah.
[06:18] ---
    What will they think tomorrow, I wonder?

    They know their job, gi.

    I'm honored to get to work with such legends.
[08:39] ---
    Glad to have you.
[08:41] ---
    The Foreign Affairs Minister and America's

[08:46] ---
    As are the Magical Security Council
     and WTO staff.
[08:50] ---
    VIPs as far as the eye can see, huh?
[08:52] ---
    This is an important job, then.
[08:56] ---
    There's still time before the conference.
[08:58] ---
    The bureaucrats are on the ground
    doing some last minute preparations.
[09:01] ---
    M Squad and MORG are to undergo
    a final briefing in the shelter.
[09:08] ---
    So what about us?
[09:10] ---
    Supposedly, they want to talk to the Magical
    Girls in private before the conference.
[09:16] ---
    It was a personal request
    from General Tabira.
[09:19] ---
    That's probably bad news.
[09:43] ---
    General Tabira...
[09:46] ---
    It's been a long time, Asuka.

[10:06] ---
    Is that General Tabira?
[10:09] ---
    That's right.
[10:10] ---
    You never really got to talk to her.
[10:14] ---
    General Tabira is one of the top
     generals serving Meripiko,
[10:16] ---
    one of the core countries of the
    Spirit World Treaty Organization.
[10:19] ---
    Her one flaw is her excessive
    expressions of love for the Magical Girls.

    You're in a bad mood, huh, Asuka?
[10:31] ---

[10:40] ---
    Oh no...

    And I was looking forward
    to seeing you today.
[10:48] ---
    I brought you presents, too.
[10:52] ---
    Kataru!
[10:53] ---
    Of course, taru.
[10:55] ---
    What is it?
[10:56] ---
    New Magical Girl outfits that
    will enhance your power.
[11:02] ---
    I think you'll look great in it!
[11:04] ---
    Slingshot swimsuit maid outfits!
[11:10] ---
    I've heard about your situation.
[11:12] ---
    Now you'll have no trouble with
    the modified Disas, or even new Disas!
[11:20] ---
    How could you do that?
[11:21] ---
    Mouse-types are so lame, ru.
[11:24] ---
    Tamara, don't set it on fire!
[11:24] ---
    How come somebody like that
    gets to be with a Magical Girl, taru?
[11:28] ---
    Looks like you want to taste the punch
    of a fairy who survived the great war, chu!
[11:35] ---
    Cat-types and mouse-types don't get along.
[11:40] ---
    Now, let's get down to business.
[11:46] ---
    Oh dear.
[11:47] ---
    This one's for real.
[11:49] ---
    A powerful, newly-developed magical item.
[11:57] ---
    You won't be able to use it right now,
[12:00] ---
    but it has the power to enhance your
    magical abilities several times over.

    Smart!
[13:34] ---
    Enemy force is continuing their indirect fire.
[13:37] ---
    We are currently on the fifth
    round of bombardment.
[13:38] ---
    Naha Garrison's administration office

[14:00] ---
    This is a war.
[14:01] ---
    Humanity's ability to fight magical wars
[14:03] ---
    is dependent on our alliance
    with the Spirit World.
[14:05] ---
    And the Naha Garrison Bridge
    is what makes that alliance possible.
[14:09] ---
    That makes this the most
    important spot on Earth.
[14:14] ---
    We must protect it at all costs.
[14:17] ---
    We want the help of you Magical Girls.

    Kilgy!
SIGN    Naha City
SIGN    I thought I heard a loud noise, so I went to look...
SIGN    There was a loud boom from the Naha Garrison. Not good.
SIGN    I can see smoke from here. Was there an accident? How scary.
[14:53] ---
    It's so cold!
[14:54] ---
    That's not quite right.
[14:56] ---
    What isn't?
[14:57] ---
    You're a teenage girl eating ice cream.
[15:01] ---
    You need to make it seem
    dirtier when you lick it!
[15:05] ---
    I'll toss you into the ocean.
[15:15] ---
    Where's the Naha Base 9th Air Wing?
[15:18] ---
    An enemy artillery strike
    hit their alert hangar.
[15:21] ---
    We're still waiting
    for a full damage report,
[15:23] ---
    but right now we've received word
    that the F-15s are unable to scramble.
[15:26] ---
    And the U.S. military bases?
[15:29] ---
    The enemy attacks were concentrated on
    the JASDF Naha Base and JGSDF Naha Garrison.
[15:35] ---
    No attacks on the U.S. military bases
     in Okinawa were detected.
[15:38] ---
    What?
[15:39] ---
    The enemy is trying to avoid
    involving the US military.
[15:42] ---
    What about the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty?
[15:45] ---
    Without a single attack on a U.S. base...
[15:49] ---
    We can't expect them
    to send in the Marines, huh?
[15:55] ---
    The Cabinet has just made its decision.
[15:57] ---
    In light of extenuating circumstances,
[15:59] ---
    permission to counterattack is granted under
    the Response to Magic-Related Incidents Act.
[16:03] ---
    What kind of firepower did it authorize?
[16:05] ---
    All we've got.
[16:06] ---
    The Minister of Defense
    will take responsibility.
[16:09] ---
    Roger.
[16:10] ---
    What's the enemy doing?
[16:11] ---
    Disas have appeared in Naha City.
[16:14] ---
    We've confirmed the presence
    of modified Halloween-class.
[16:17] ---
    The Okinawa Prefectural Police have engaged
    the enemy and are evacuating civilians, but...
[16:28] ---
    That's hopeless!
[16:29] ---
    The Okinawa Prefectural Police
    can't fight a Halloween-class!
[16:32] ---
    What about the 15th Brigade?
[16:34] ---
    We took some damage in that bombardment,
     but it's minor.
[16:38] ---
    The 15th Brigade will be our primary
    force as we engage the enemy.
[16:42] ---
    We brought an Osprey
    for the security mission.
[16:45] ---
    I read that report.
[16:47] ---
    We'll be counting on you.
[16:49] ---
    M Squad and the U.S. MORG
    are our best weapons against the Disas.
[16:53] ---
    Let's work together to get through this.
[16:56] ---
    Of course.
[16:57] ---
    Our issue is the enemy in Naha City.
[17:00] ---
    The enemy is clearly after our bridge.
[17:03] ---
    They're attacking the police
    and civilians to lure us away.
[17:07] ---
    Of course, I know that.
[17:10] ---
    But if we don't stop them,
    they'll burn Naha to the ground!
SIGN    Tomorrow's free time I'll buy you something in the city and bring it back Let's hang out again when I get home
[17:17] ---
    I'll go.
[17:19] ---
    I can't allow that.
[17:21] ---
    Rapture excels at close-range combat,
[17:24] ---
    and is the core of our defense of the base.
[17:26] ---
    We can't send you there.
[17:29] ---
    Well, Iizuka-san's right.
[17:33] ---
    So I'll go.
[17:35] ---
    Magical Girls have extrajudicial
    authorization to fight Disas.
[17:42] ---
    I don't know how many decoys they brought,
[17:45] ---
    but I'll get rid of them all.
[17:46] ---
    But even if they're just decoys,
[17:49] ---
    they have Halloween-classes!
[17:50] ---
    You can't go alone!
[17:55] ---
    You're so kind, Kurumi.
[17:58] ---
    Just like that old guy over there said,
[18:00] ---
    the enemy is clearly after the 6th Naha.
[18:04] ---
    Which means we can't move any
    of our defensive forces from the base.
[18:07] ---
    But if you need to deal with those decoys,
[18:11] ---
    you need to send somebody who can deal
[18:14] ---
    with a Halloween-class on their own, right?
[18:19] ---
    Mia?
[18:21] ---
    Then it's settled.
[18:23] ---
    We've established a defensive
    perimeter in a circle
[18:25] ---
    around the camouflaged shelter.
[18:28] ---
    The 15th Brigade, M Squad,
[18:31] ---
    and the U.S.'s MORG will be deployed here.
[18:34] ---
    I'll go there, too.
[18:36] ---
    Tamara?
[18:37] ---
    If there are a lot of enemies,
[18:39] ---
    then you need me.
[18:41] ---
    Fighting in a circular defensive
    perimeter is what I'm best at.
[18:47] ---
    And as for any Disas that make it
    through the defenses to the basement...
[18:51] ---
    Kurumi and I will handle them?
[18:54] ---
    What do you think, Commander Horibe?
[18:57] ---
    You have the most experience with
    magical combat of anybody here.
[19:02] ---
    Let's go with your plan.
[19:03] ---
    And General Tabira.
[19:05] ---
    Yes?
[19:06] ---
    Please retreat to the Spirit World.
[19:09] ---
    I refuse!
[19:11] ---
    Of course,
[19:12] ---
    I'll fight with all of you.
[19:14] ---
    I'm afraid I can't allow that.
[19:16] ---
    Iizuka!
[19:18] ---
    If anything happens to you,
[19:19] ---
    it's a loss to all humanity.
[19:23] ---
    This isn't an issue of anyone's
    personal feelings.
[19:26] ---
    It's a critical matter for both worlds.
[19:29] ---
    Well, yes, but...
[19:37] ---
    General!
[19:40] ---
    Mia...
[19:41] ---
    Please...
[19:43] ---
    Don't die.
[19:47] ---
    Of course I won't.
[19:49] ---
    Let me go.
[19:51] ---
    I'm blushing.
[19:57] ---
    When I heard M Squad
    was getting one of these,
[20:00] ---
    I thought it was a little too much...
[20:03] ---
    But it's about to be useful already.
[20:11] ---
    Multiple enemy Disas
    are approaching the main gate!
[20:15] ---
    We know that bullets
    work on Gremlin-classes,
[20:17] ---
    and grenades and MANPATS
    are effective against Voorhees-classes!
[20:22] ---
    Most Disas are vulnerable
    to normal arms fire,
[20:25] ---
    if it's concentrated enough!

[21:06] ---
    I'm sorry this happened.
[21:09] ---
    The trade negotiations
    can take place again soon.
[21:12] ---
    Of course.
[21:13] ---
    This isn't the Japanese government's fault.
[21:17] ---
    Kataru...
[21:18] ---
    Right, taru!
[21:21] ---
    Taru.
[21:23] ---
    The bridge has shut down!
[21:25] ---
    What?
[21:26] ---
    There are signs of a Dimensional
    Explosive having been used, taru!
[21:29] ---
    A Dimensional Explosive?
[21:31] ---
    A type of magical bomb that destroys
[21:34] ---
    the methods used to move
    between worlds, chu!
[21:36] ---
    If the enemy used a
    Dimensional Explosive now, then...
[21:41] ---
    They're not after the 6th Naha.
[21:44] ---
    They're after General Tabira!
[21:46] ---
    So they want her no matter
    what it takes, huh?
[21:50] ---
    How long before the bridge
    comes back online?
[21:53] ---
    The enemy appears to have only
    used one relatively small bomb.
[21:57] ---
    But...
[21:58] ---
    It'll take at least 48 hours!
[22:01] ---
    Two days...
[22:06] ---
    We just need to protect General Tabira, right?
[22:15] ---
    Let's go join them, Chisato.
[22:19] ---
    Yeah.
[23:57] ---
    Asuka, Kurumi, Mia, and Tamara
    are all fighting in separate locations!
[24:00] ---
    Even if normal weapons don't work
    very well against their enemy,
[24:03] ---
    the soldiers do their best
    for the Magical Girls!
[24:06] ---
    Next time: "Each of Their Deadly Battles."
SIGN    Each of Their Deadly Battles
[24:08] ---
    With your Magical Karambit,
    rip the bad guys to pieces, chu!
