**[00:18] 輝**
Yamato Ichidaiji...
**[00:20] 輝**
Detained overnight for showing no sign of remorse
after being taken into custody for a street brawl.
**[00:27] 輝**
Not exactly my definition of cool.
**[00:30] 大和**
Huh?
**[00:33] 輝**
Thank you.
**[00:37] 大和**
Who the hell are you?
**[00:39] 輝**
I'm Teru Asami. A model student, unlike you.
**[00:43] 大和**
Teru...Asami?
**[00:45] 輝**
Yes. Just call me Teru.
**[00:56] 大和**
You got a death wish, Teru?
**[00:59] 輝**
Ha. You'd be perfect.
**[01:02] 輝**
Listen, Yamato...
How would you like to get out of here?
**[01:06] 大和**
Huh?
**[02:38] 大和**
Damn, the sweet smell of freedom!

EPISODE 1
**[02:42] 輝**
If I hadn't come, you would have
been in there another day, you know?
**[02:46] 大和**
Your point? You expecting some gratitude
or something? What do you want?
**[02:51] 輝**
I have a task in need of someone
with your fighting prowess.
**[02:55] 大和**
Yeah? So who's the sucker
you want me to knock around?
**[03:04] 明日菜**
I was so shocked that I spilled
coffee on the teacher.
**[03:07] 街頭テレビ**
*Second man reported missing this month.
The missing men are between 20 and 30...*
**[03:08] 早紀**
That's so awkward! But he just laughed
it off since it was you, Asuna.
**[03:13] 早紀**
You're kinda clumsy, you know that?
**[03:16] 明日菜**
Hey, that's not very nice!
**[03:18] 早紀**
Nah, you're normally too perfect.
It makes you more approachable.
**[03:25] 早紀**
Well, I'm this way. See ya!
**[03:27] 明日菜**
Yeah, see you tomorrow!
**[03:30] アーシェム**
What about her?
**[03:32] サーザント**
Yes. She is perfectly suited
to your image, Princess Arshem.
**[03:37] アーシェム**
Is that so?
**[03:46] サーザント**
*Now the Earthling's language
transferred to our memories is available.*
**[03:52] サーザント**
*Please use it should any emergency arise.*
**[03:58] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
Understood.
**[04:05] サーザント**
Please be careful.
**[04:07] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
I will eliminate the soldier.
**[04:20] 大和**
Man, that's refreshing.
**[04:29] 大和**
I screwed up again. I'm sorry, Mina.
**[04:41] ミナ**
Yamato, help!
**[04:50] 大和**
Not again...
**[04:52] 大和**
Mina died in the fire. She wasn't murdered.
**[04:58] 清夏**
Yamato, you there?
**[05:00] 清夏**
Yamato!
**[05:05] 大和**
Kiyoka?
**[05:06] 清夏**
Oh my! You're so pale!
Are you hungry? Well, check this out.
**[05:12] 大和**
I'm not hungry.
**[05:16] 大和**
Go away!
**[05:18] 清夏**
Look!
**[05:23] 清夏**
So you *are* hungry.
**[05:25] 大和**
Well, you already bought it, so why waste it?
**[05:28] 清夏**
You really need to quit
getting into childish fights.
**[05:30] 大和**
It's a guy thing. You can't go backing down.
**[05:34] 清夏**
It's just men being stubborn. You
better not let it happen next time.
**[05:38] 大和**
"Next time"?
**[05:39] 清夏**
Eh?
**[05:40] 大和**
That reminds me! I gotta go!
**[05:44] 清夏**
You look like you're doing
better, so I'll get going now.
**[05:48] 大和**
Thanks.
**[05:53] 清夏**
Hey, um...
**[05:54] 清夏**
When I was walking around
town... I felt it again.
**[05:58] 大和**
Felt what?
**[06:00] 清夏**
This feeling that something was
off. Like something's... amiss.
**[06:05] 清夏**
This town, it's like...
it feels like it's fake.
**[06:10] 大和**
Fake?
**[06:14] 清夏**
Never mind. It's nothing. Bye now!
**[06:26] 清夏**
*This town. It's...*
**[06:34] 大和**
The meeting place is
the same old arcade, of all places?
**[06:38] 大和**
Hatsu! Wassup!
**[06:41] 天堂**
Oh, Yamato! You're in good spirits.
**[06:43] 大和**
Yep! Think I've got a fun time comin' my way.
**[06:48] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
He's the Earthling soldier.
I'll kill him without fail.
**[06:54] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
It'll be simple... Just have
to stick a knife in his back.
**[07:12] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
W-We're sure this is the guy?
**[07:16] サーザント**
*This one meets all the criteria.*
**[07:19] サーザント**
He will become a soldier,
which makes him the assassination target.
**[07:25] サーザント**
There's no need for hesitation
when killing an Earthling.
**[07:29] サーザント**
*Now you must finish the job.*
**[07:31] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
I understand.
**[07:44] 明日菜**
*Yamato...*
**[07:46] 大和**
What? Who said that?
**[07:48] 明日菜**
*Yamato, run!*
**[07:51] 大和**
I know this voice from somewhere...
**[07:58] 龍吾**
Is that the smell of the idiot
who was too slow to escape the police?
**[08:03] 大和**
Hmph, you again. Shut the hell up!
**[08:06] 龍吾**
Well, well! Is it isn't Yamato Ichidaiji,
fresh outta the clink!
**[08:12] 龍吾**
Yeah?!
**[08:13] 大和**
It was jail, dumbass! And the police
saved you from a trip to the hospital!
**[08:19] 龍吾**
They already let you go?
Got out early, didn't ya?
**[08:22] 大和**
Shut it, bozo! Scram! I've got places to go.
**[08:26] 龍吾**
Like I've got time to be
hangin' around you either!
**[08:32] 大和**
I told ya to stop following me!
**[08:34] 龍吾**
That's my line, you moron!
**[08:36] 輝**
Alright, you two, simmer down.
**[08:39] 龍吾**
Teru, ‘bout time! Show me this
bigshot you were talking about.
**[08:45] 大和**
What? You too?
**[08:47] 輝**
This way.
**[08:57] 龍吾**
What's this about, Teru?
**[09:00] 大和**
I knew this whole thing sounded shady.
**[09:03] 龍吾**
Huh?
**[09:04] 大和**
We've been set up!
**[09:06] 大和**
Most of them are punks we beat
up looking for some payback.
**[09:10] 輝**
Heh, we'll shut you down right here.
**[09:13] 大和**
Don't wuss out.
**[09:14] 龍吾**
Like hell I will.
**[09:17] 輝**
Get them.
**[09:33] 大和**
Take this!
**[09:46] 大和**
You aren't half bad.
**[09:47] 龍吾**
Neither are you.
**[09:49] 大和・龍吾**
Huh?
**[09:55] 大和**
What the—?!
**[09:56] 龍吾**
R-Robots?!
**[10:08] 大和**
Damn you!
**[10:14] 龍吾**
A-Are you kidding me?
**[10:17] 大和**
I said don't wuss out!
**[10:19] 輝**
What is this? Yamato, I thought
you were the master brawler?
**[10:24] 輝**
What's the matter with you?
**[10:26] 大和**
They're reading our movements.
**[10:29] 龍吾**
What?
**[10:30] 大和**
Mechanical bastards. Got it all analyzed
in the first scuffle, huh?
**[10:37] 大和**
Then let's fight to a new rhythm!
**[11:00] 龍吾**
Take this!
**[11:15] 龍吾**
Changin' the rhythm'll stop
them from readin' us, that it?
**[11:19] 大和**
You got it!
**[11:24] 龍吾**
Alright! Nothin' but scrap!
**[11:26] 大和**
Just one more!
**[11:28] 輝**
Hey, not half bad. You.
**[11:46] 輝**
I knew the fight of a meathead wouldn't
amount to all that much.
**[11:50] 大和**
The hell'd you... call me?!
**[11:56] 大和**
Listen up, pal!
**[11:57] 大和**
I'm the one who decides what I'm worth!
**[12:13] 輝**
I see.
**[12:16] 龍吾**
Pfft! Such dirty tactics.
**[12:20] 大和**
A win is a win, no matter how you score it.
**[12:23] 大和**
All right, you're up next.
**[12:28] 輝**
You've passed the final test.
**[12:30] 大和**
Huh? What the hell are you talking about?!
**[12:32] 輝**
They wanted me to test your strength.
The big-wigs can be pretty picky.
**[12:39] 大和**
What?
**[12:52] 龍吾**
Gate 10?
**[12:53] 大和**
Whoa! What the—?!
**[12:58] 輝**
Come.
**[12:59] 龍吾**
Hey!
**[13:04] 龍吾**
Don't tell me there's an underground arena here?
**[13:07] 大和**
Where're you takin' us?
**[13:14] 龍吾**
H-Holy crap!
**[13:19] 大和**
What's all this doing underground?
**[13:22] 輝**
Welcome to Oblivion Bay.
**[13:24] SIGN**
OBLIVION BAY - SHELTER BASE
**[13:24] 輝**
The hidden retreat forgotten by the masses.
**[13:27] 大和**
What?
**[13:28] 大和**
Yo! Spill it already! What's going on?
**[13:45] 大和**
What is that?
**[13:47] 龍吾**
A robot?
**[13:51] 大和**
Explain to us! What the heck is this?!
Where are we?!
**[13:55] 大和**
Why did you bring us here?!
**[13:57] 南**
That's quite enough!
**[13:59] 大和**
Who're you?
**[14:01] 輝**
Commander Minami.
**[14:05] 南**
I am the commander of Oblivion
Bay. My name is Sayaka Minami.
**[14:09] 南**
Have you two enjoyed your simple,
carefree school life thus far?
**[14:13] 大和**
Huh?
**[14:15] 南**
As of this moment, that life is over.
**[14:18] 南**
You two are now soldiers in
our fight against the aliens.
**[14:22] 大和**
Huh? We're gonna be what?
And we're gonna fight who?
**[14:26] 龍吾**
Yeah, ya lost me.
**[14:29] 南**
Aliens.
**[14:43] 南**
2118 AD...
**[14:45] 南**
Three years ago, Earth was
obliterated by the aliens,
**[14:50] 南**
and it took them less than 48 hours to do so.
**[14:53] 南**
All towns were wiped out.
As was 99.9% of humanity.
**[14:59] 南**
This is our reality now.
**[15:09] 南**
They have fitted Earth with a new core
to attune the atmosphere to their needs.
**[15:18] 龍吾**
That's Earth?! Nuh-huh! I don't buy it!
**[15:21] 大和**
You're wrong! Look at this
town. It's totally peaceful!
**[15:24] 南**
Yes. Peaceful indeed... A fabrication.
**[15:29] 大和**
It's fake?
**[15:32] 南**
Follow me.
**[15:46] 大和**
Where are we?
**[15:49] 大和**
What the hell is this place?
**[15:52] 南**
This is Shelter Ixia.
**[15:55] 南**
A facility where the remaining survivors
can live out their lives as before.
**[16:03] 大和**
How'd I know nothing about the invasion?
I didn't see or hear anything!
**[16:08] 南**
Naturally. All the residents here
have had their memories erased.
**[16:13] 南**
They had lost all hope. Mentally,
the truth was too much.
**[16:18] 南**
We made the only choice we had.
**[16:25] 龍吾**
So what's this room?
**[16:27] 南**
This is the surveillance analysis center.
We scout new soldiers from here.
**[16:28] SIGN**
SURVEILLANCE ANALYSIS CENTER
**[16:31] 大和**
Scouting?
**[16:33] 南**
There are 13,000 cameras
installed around the town.
**[16:38] 南**
We monitor every resident's reflexes,
situational awareness, resolve...
**[16:45] 南**
to find candidates with
the necessary qualities for pilots.
**[16:48] 龍吾**
W-Wait! That means we've also been...?
**[16:51] 南**
Correct. The both of you...
**[16:53] 南**
...will pilot the giant robots
called Rogues and fight for us all.
**[16:57] 大和**
What?!
**[16:58] 輝**
Don't act surprised. You
enjoy fighting, don't you?
**[17:01] 大和**
Are you insane?! That's impossible!
**[17:05] 南**
Now for a formal introduction.
**[17:07] 南**
This Rogue is a Megaton Musashi, a
combat mech which you will pilot.
**[17:13] 南**
Naturally, you will receive
the proper training, so rest assured.
**[17:17] 龍吾**
No amount of training is gonna work...
**[17:20] 大和**
Sorry, guys, but I'm out.
**[17:22] 龍吾**
H-Hey!
**[17:23] 大和**
For the sake of argument, let's say
I believe all this crap you've said.
**[17:28] 大和**
Why is it that *I* gotta fight?
**[17:30] 大和**
I'm no soldier. I've got no reason to fight.
**[17:34] 大和**
I'm leavin'.
**[17:38] 輝**
Let's give Yamato his past back.
**[17:43] 輝**
We need them to operate the Musashi.
We can't let Yamato go now!
**[17:51] 南**
Fine, Yamato. Your past... We
will return your past to you.
**[17:56] 大和**
What did you say?
**[17:57] 南**
Bring him.
**[17:59] 大和**
Wha—?! What're you—?! Lemme go, punks!
**[18:05] 大和**
Let me go! I'll kill every one of you, dammit!
**[18:08] デューク**
Don't worry now. This won't hurt a bit.
**[18:14] 大和**
Who the heck are you?!
**[18:15] デューク**
I'm good at what I do, so try to relax.
**[18:17] デューク**
My name is Duke Fujisaki. Just call me Duke.
**[18:23] 大和**
Stop it! Gaaah!
**[18:39] 大和**
I'm home!
**[18:42] 男性レポーター**
*This isn't fictional! This is
happening live in New York!*
**[18:48] 大和**
What's this, a sci-fi film? Is it any good?
**[18:52] 男性レポーター**
*The city is being destroyed
by a mysterious flying object!*
**[18:55] 男性レポーター**
*I repeat, the visuals you are
seeing are in no way fictiona--*
**[19:00] 大和**
Eh?
**[19:01] 大和**
Is this... some kind of terrorist attack?
**[19:05] ミナ**
Yamato!
**[19:07] 大和**
I'm gonna take a look.
**[19:09] ミナ**
Yamato!
**[19:17] 大和**
What is that?
**[19:30] 大和**
Wh-What the...?
**[19:32] 大和**
Wait! You gotta run! Dad! Mom! Mina!
**[19:50] 大和**
Mina?
**[19:52] 大和**
Mina!
**[19:59] 大和**
Mina!
**[20:00] ミナ**
Yamato!
**[20:35] 大和**
Mina.
**[20:45] 大和**
I remember it now. All of it.
They... They crushed them...
**[20:52] 大和**
My family... Mina!
Right in front of my eyes!
**[20:58] 南**
You needed to forget in order
to have something to live for.
**[21:05] 大和**
But...
**[21:06] 南**
Huh?
**[21:07] 大和**
It's like this gnawing
feeling is suddenly gone.
**[21:11] 大和**
The weird pains, the jumbled
memories... Finally...
**[21:17] 大和**
It all makes sense!
**[21:19] ミナ**
Yamato!
**[21:26] 輝**
We should let him rest in the healing room.
**[21:28] 大和**
No need!
**[21:32] 大和**
I'm fine!
**[21:36] 東山**
*Commander Minami, the Draktors
have invaded Ixian airspace.*
**[21:39] 東山**
*Please return to Land Eye at once.*
**[21:41] 南**
Tch! Now of all times...
**[21:44] 大和**
I've decided...
**[21:46] 大和**
I'll fight!
**[21:51] 南**
Let's go!
**[21:52] 大和**
Yeah!
**[21:53] 輝**
Yes, ma'am!
**[21:55] 龍吾**
I haven't made up my mind yet.
**[21:58] デューク**
Shall I return your memories?
**[22:03] 南**
Status?
**[22:04] 天堂**
Enemy count surpassing 50.
**[22:06] 天堂**
The largest strike force to date.
Ibushi's unit has already sortied.
**[22:06] SIGN**
STRATEGY CENTER: LAND EYE
**[22:11] 南**
Understood.
**[22:15] 大和**
Huh? Aren't you—?
**[22:17] 天堂**
My position at the restaurant's only a front.
**[22:20] 天堂**
I'm in charge of the control operators
in the fight against the aliens.
**[22:25] 南**
Hatsune was an air traffic
controller for the military.
**[22:28] 大和**
Really?!
**[22:29] 南**
This entire crew leads
different lives outside.
**[22:33] 南**
The lives as normal residents...
**[22:36] 天堂**
Ibushi's unit has established contact!

**[23:07] 天堂**
Even Gin stands little chance
against so many. What do we do?
**[23:11] 輝**
Let's launch the Musashi!
**[23:12] 山本**
*Enemy reinforcements incoming!
Defenses won't hold!*
**[23:12] 大和**
The Musashi?
**[23:13] 南**
We have no choice.
**[23:15] 南**
We'll use memory transference to
teach you how to pilot a Rogue.
**[23:20] 南**
Everyone, prepare to launch the Musashi!
**[23:24] サーザント**
It seems the strike force has
launched an assault on the shelter.
**[23:28] 明日菜（アーシェム）**
Does this mean the city will be destroyed?
**[23:30] サーザント**
No. It is not our goal to destroy it.
**[23:35] 大和**
I'm feeling a bit dizzy.
**[23:38] 輝**
I'm not surprised. In a short time
you had your memories returned.
**[23:42] 輝**
And then a new "Pilot" memory was
transferred to your subconcious.
**[23:47] 龍吾**
Damn, I'm gettin' nervous.
**[23:51] 大和**
What's that?
**[23:52] 輝**
This is Tonky, an AI pet Duke created.
**[23:55] 龍吾**
Why's it following us?
**[23:57] 輝**
No clue.
**[24:05] 輝**
Yamato, Ryugo, you know how to
get to your pilot pods?
**[24:09] 龍吾**
Yeah!
**[24:13] 大和**
Musashi...
**[24:15] 大和**
Let's give it a go.
**[24:20] 大和**
Hey, you!
**[24:22] 大和**
Whatever. Just stay outta trouble.

I'm not usually good with machines, but
I feel like I know just what to do.
**[24:56] 龍吾**
If it's like playing fighting
games, I'll feel right at home.
**[24:59] 輝**
Memory transference allows for expedited
learning at the expense of retention.
**[25:05] 輝**
Sear it into your brains through real combat.

The Musashi is the world's most advanced machine
engineered with the best technologies on Earth.
**[25:17] 大和**
The world's strongest machine... Perfect
for someone as incredible as me!
**[25:22] 南**
*That's enough chitchat. Now let me explain.*
**[25:25] 大和**
