[00:20] アーシェム     Once I'm done up here, I'll be right there. [00:23] ヴィクト     Your daughter has the most unusual     power of attracting people. [00:28] クロウゼード     She is my daughter. It is only natural. [00:32] ヴィクト     We're part of this community now,     after three months we've been here. [00:38] クロウゼード     I'd say it's about time, then. [00:40] ヴィクト     For what? [00:41] クロウゼード     To establish a country. [00:43] ヴィクト     Hm? [00:50] アーシェム     Are you leaving? [00:52] ベローア     Princess Arshem? [00:55] アーシェム     You have yet to open your heart to the     people of this town, have you not? [01:00] ベローア     What of it? [01:02] アーシェム     Your eyes glimmer just like those     of the knight that protected me. [01:07] アーシェム     I wish for you to understand my     aims and attend me as my knight! [01:15] ベローア     Hmph... I have no intention     of becoming your knight. [01:21] ベローア     Farewell. [01:35] 康太     Over the last three months,     we have inspected five shelters. SIGN    EPISODE 21 [01:40] 康太     All of them were destroyed. [01:43] 康太     We've collected three data fragments so far. [01:47] 康太     With two more, we can complete the blueprint. [01:53] 坂東     Even if we collect the data, what are     the chances Sanctuary still exists? [01:59] 康太     Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing. [02:02] 康太     Any further investigation will require     the capture of God Hammer Stronghold. [02:12] マーガレット     It will be a difficult battle.     But I will not give up. [02:17] マーガレット     We will never give up hope!     We will move forward! [02:26] デューク     You called? [02:27] 金田一     Duke. I found something strange in     the data retrieved from the shelter. [02:33] デューク     What? [02:34] 金田一     An access log was left in the data fragment. [02:38] デューク     Someone copied the data fragment? [02:43] 金田一     Yes, someone other than the Ixia.     This data fragment may be a duplicate. [02:48] デューク     You think the Draktors got to it? [02:50] 金田一     If that were the case, they would've destroyed it     so we could never get our hands on it. [02:55] デューク     Then, what? [02:56] デューク     There are Earthlings other than us out     there collecting the data fragments? [03:01] 金田一     That is most likely the case. [03:04] デューク     Who could it be? [03:13] マーガレット     Let the God Hammer Stronghold     mission briefing begin. [03:19] 康太     Please take a look at this. [03:22] 康太     We've made this map of the base from     data we've collected via remote drones. [03:29] 康太     As you know, around God Hammer     is a strong gravitational field. [03:35] 康太     Aerial approach is impossible. [03:37] 康太     We shall use a land route, starting at     80 clicks out, to advance on the tower. [03:44] 龍吾     This looks complicated. [03:47] 康太     We'll advance on God Hammer's     tower via three main routes. [03:52] 康太     Splitting our Rogue squadron     into three, [03:54] 康太     and simultaneously close in. [03:56] 大和     This ain't no cakewalk. [03:59] 輝     They're going to defend their     base with everything they've got. [04:02] 康太     That's why we've cooked up     the "Zombie of the Battlefield" gambit. [04:05] 大和     What the heck's that? [04:08] 康太     We're going to use a signal jammer     to manipulate the unmanned units. [04:13] 康太     They'll go full zombie that shoots at     friends and foes indiscriminately. [04:17] 龍吾     Really?! [04:19] 九世     Sounds fun. [04:20] 康太     I'm sending more mission     details to your devices. [04:24] 康太     Pilots, I ask that you run a     simulation to practice beforehand. [04:29] マーガレット     The operation starts tomorrow morning. [04:31] マーガレット     Make sure you are fit for deployment. [04:34] パイロットたち     Yeah! [04:35] パイロットたち     Woo! [04:36] パイロットたち     Let's do this! [04:37] 伊伏     Half of confidence is preparation. [04:49] シノアグ     Enter. [04:53] ベローア     You called for me, Emperor? [04:57] グリファース     Veloa Gidez... So, you've come. [05:01] ベローア     I am honored that you remember my name. [05:04] グリファース     Do you remember your brother? [05:07] グリファース     He abandoned his home to     serve the royal palace. [05:14] グリファース     His name was Sarzant Evol. [05:17] ベローア     I have no brother. [05:23] グリファース     Is that so? [05:25] グリファース     He and I are bonded by fate. [05:29] グリファース     Whether you're related or not matters little. [05:35] グリファース     However... I want to tell you something. [05:42] ベローア     Sir? [05:43] グリファース     It was publicized that Sarzant     was killed by a Terran. [05:49] グリファース     In truth, I killed him. [05:56] グリファース     I am telling you that I, with my     own hands, killed your brother. [06:02] グリファース     He was a great man, the best I've ever met. [06:07] グリファース     But I dispose of anyone that gets in my way. [06:13] グリファース     Do you despise me, Veloa? [06:16] グリファース     Will you join the rebels and fight me? [06:23] ベローア     No. I would never seek revenge     for a man I've never met. [06:30] グリファース     I see, very good. [06:33] グリファース     You are being assigned to Godemgore's     defense unit. Destroy the Terran ship. [06:40] グリファース     Go. [06:40] ベローア     As you command. [06:46] シノアグ     Was that the right choice?     He won't rebel against us? [06:51] グリファース     No... It is all according to plan. [06:58] 石崎     Doctor, here are the test results. [07:01] 石崎     It appears she indeed has both     Draktor and Earthling genes. [07:06] 石崎     But her body is no different     from an Earthling's. [07:10] レイダー     Don't tell me... [07:15] ユグラ     Did you hear that, Miysis? [07:17] ミーシス     What do they mean? [07:20] レイダー     It is impossible to think that     their genes have no effect. [07:23] 石崎     Looks like a normal baby to me. [07:27] レイダー     We must investigate more closely.     Draktor and Earthling blood mixing... [07:34] ミーシス     That Protel is of mixed birth? [07:36] ユグラ     Mixed birth... meaning within it courses the     blood of one of this planet and a Xidol? [07:43] ユグラ     Unbelievable. [07:44] 石崎     Would you like to see the data? [07:47] レイダー     Yes. Show me. [07:51] ミーシス     Are they gone? [07:52] ユグラ     Look here! [07:54] ミーシス     H-How small... [07:56] ユグラ     It is a Litel's first form, a Protel. [07:59] ユグラ     Litel are different from Shedah.     They start small then grow larger. [08:04] ユグラ     We Shedah are born en masse from our     queen, and our bodies start much larger. [08:14] ユグラ     How strange. [08:16] ミーシス     I feel a strange sensation in     my chest when I gaze upon it. [08:20] ユグラ     Wait! [08:22] ユグラ     Perhaps this creature itself represents     the Boon of Evolution we have long sought. [08:28] ユグラ     In which case, we might have stumbled     onto a tremendous discovery. [08:32] ミーシス     We must inform Lord Grieffas straight away. [08:36] ミーシス     Someone's approaching. [08:53] 輝     Mirai. [08:56] 輝     Do you know who I am? I'm your... [09:01] ---     This is... [09:04] 輝     This isn't Sayaka's.     Do we have an alien intruder again? [09:09] 輝     If so...then they must be after Mirai. [09:22] 輝     I have to get her away from here! [09:34] ミーシス     He got away. [09:35] ユグラ     I suspect he intends to hide her from us     because he's aware of our presence. [09:40] ミーシス     I'll inform Lord Grieffas immediately. [09:42] ユグラ     Wait! [09:43] ユグラ     I don't believe we should report this     to Lord Grieffas just yet. [09:47] ミーシス     Explain yourself! [09:48] ユグラ     We'll study it further before we do. [09:53] ミーシス     Fine. [09:54] ミーシス     At least now, we won't have to     answer for letting him escape. [10:30] 輝     Mirai... I'll protect you. Always. [10:36] レイダー     How in the world did this happen?! [10:39] レイダー     Hurry! We need to find her! [10:40] 石崎     Y-Yes, sir! [10:43] 金田一     Is this what I think it is? [10:45] 康太     Yup. The super rare reproduction of     the Armed Angel Boopanamami figurine. [10:51] 金田一     Do you have cash? [10:52] 康太     None. [10:53] 金田一     Then we launch our op before the God Hammer one. [10:58] 金田一     I call it, "Beg Kei to Let Us Put It on Layaway." [11:01] 本州     Alright, peeps! Send your prayers to     all the gods for Boss to kick butt! [11:06] 本州     Cheers! [11:07] 九州・四国・北海     Cheers! SIGN    KJ BODYGUARDS [11:10] ジュン     You got that right! Come on, Cap, drink up! [11:16] ジュン     Mmm! That hits the spot! [11:20] 伊伏     This is juice, right? [11:22] ジュン     You know we're too young for alcohol. [11:25] 伊伏     Point taken. [11:29] TV司会     And that was the popular     kitty dancer Mata Tabby! [11:31] リウ     This can't be that popular... [11:33] アナ     Are you sure you're not just out of the loop? [11:37] リウ     What?! So it's actually popular?! [11:44] ユグラ     Our orders are to destroy the     shelter's combat functions? [11:48] シノアグ     Yes. They're likely planning     to attack Godemgore. [11:55] シノアグ     So we strike first and render them powerless. [11:57] シノアグ     You're to withdraw at once after that, [12:00] シノアグ     and take your positions in Godemgore's defenses. [12:06] ミーシス     What's the matter, Yugra? [12:08] ユグラ     Nothing. [12:10] ユグラ     Mom, we're heading out. [12:13] ユグラ     Thank you for everything. [12:15] ミーシス     You're so kind and a wonderful cook too. [12:19] ミーシス     So, um...we're grateful to you. Take care, okay? [12:24] アナ     Oh, hush, you're going to a work trip, right? [12:28] アナ     No need to be that formal. [12:30] ユグラ     Right, there is that. [12:31] ミーシス     You're right, Mom, but... [12:33] ミーシス     We just wanted to tell you properly today. [12:37] ユグラ     Riu, we're trusting you to look after Mom, okay? [12:39] リウ     Dude, stop being so sappy. You're creeping me out. [12:42] ユグラ     Mom, Riu, we're off. [12:53] リウ     You're... not coming back, are you? [12:57] ミーシス     Riu? [12:58] リウ     Are you not coming back? [13:03] リウ     I dunno, I just... had a feeling. [13:07] リウ     But I'll be waiting! I'll wait for you to come back. [13:13] ユグラ     Riu... [13:25] ミーシス     Something's leaking from my eyes... What is this? [13:32] ユグラ     Miysis. Do you truly think that the Terrans     are the ones we should be fighting...? [13:51] 萌々香     Dad... [13:58] 雨宮     Okay, everyone, chow down. [14:08] 天堂     Order up! 5 bowls of kitsune udon! [14:10] 北根     Here you go! Enjoy your meal! [14:18] 東山     Welcome! [14:29] ユグラ     Is that...? SIGN    DRAKTOR STRONGHOLD: GOD HAMMER [15:01] ヴォイド     I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. [15:05] シノアグ     It's a pleasure to see you again, Voyd. [15:07] ヴォイド     Indeed. That fateful day, wasn't it? [15:11] シノアグ     Ah, when I was branded a traitor and imprisoned. [15:15] シノアグ     But to think I'd find you as a base commander now. [15:19] ヴォイド     Lord Grieffas sure has     a discerning eye for people. [15:23] シノアグ     I certainly can't deny that statement. [15:28] シノアグ     Not when he so graciously granted me my freedom. [15:33] シノアグ     And who might that be? [15:34] ヴォイド     Allow me to introduce you to Zaskar Dyne. [15:37] ヴォイド     This stronghold's... guardian deity, if you will. [15:41] シノアグ     Intriguing. [15:45] 大和     A baby?! [15:47] 龍吾     Dude, did you find this abandoned kid?! [15:50] 輝     No. She's my daughter. [15:51] 龍吾     Oh, okay! I for sure thought you just found... [15:57] 龍吾     Wait. What did you just say? [16:00] 輝     This is my daughter, Mirai. [16:03] 大和     Say whaaat?! [16:03] 龍吾     Whaaa—?! [16:08] 龍吾     Yours and Commander Minami's?! [16:10] 龍吾     This is so nuts, I can't wrap my head around it. [16:13] 輝     All I know now is that this child represents [16:18] 輝     Sayaka's hope to bring two worlds together. [16:21] 大和     Teru... [16:23] 輝     Which is why I decided I'll see Sayaka's     dream through to the end for her. [16:32] 輝     Why did you save me? [16:35] 南     I just did. Do I need a specific reason? [16:38] 輝     But there's nothing in it for you. [16:41] 南     Then let's say I didn't have a reason to kill you. [16:44] 南     It made no difference to me if you lived or died. [16:48] 輝     Except it couldn't have been easy     bringing me here to protect me. [16:53] 南     Hm... You clearly don't lack intelligence. [16:57] 南     If you insist, then I'll tell you. [16:58] 南     I simply wanted a deeper     understanding of you Terrans. [17:09] 龍吾     B-But Commander Minami was an alien, right? [17:13] 龍吾     So the fact that she...with you...is nuts. [17:17] 大和     Teru, why are you telling us all this? [17:20] 大和     You're not the kinda guy [17:22] 大和     to talk to your friends about relationships. [17:28] 輝     I wanted to share my secret with you. [17:34] 輝     In case I die in the upcoming battle... [17:39] 大和     Teru... [17:41] 輝     We're proof that two people from different     stars can fall in love and become family. [17:45] 輝     I wanted you to know that. [17:48] 大和     Family, huh... [17:56] 大和     That's funny. [18:01] ミーシス     A Protel possessing both Xidol and Terran genes... [18:06] ミーシス     What should we do? [18:07] ユグラ     Leave them be. [18:09] ユグラ     The battle soon begins. [18:11] ミーシス     So we're proceeding with crashing     this shelter's combat system? [18:15] ユグラ     No. There's no need for that either. [18:17] ミーシス     What do you mean? [18:18] ユグラ     I received no instruction on     the hacking technique required to do so. [18:23] ミーシス     You don't have the knowledge either? [18:25] ミーシス     Then why give us the directive? [18:27] ユグラ     Shinoag plans to use us as bombs     once we breach the ship's systems area. [18:34] ミーシス     Preposterous! [18:35] ユグラ     They treat us as Litel now, [18:38] ユグラ     but we still have the self-destruct     circuits implanted in us as Shedah. [18:42] ユグラ     And Shinoag intends to use     that to his advantage. [18:47] ユグラ     But I refuse to be a pawn. [18:49] ユグラ     More importantly, I'd like to     go somewhere before we depart. [19:03] マーヤ     You're... [19:07] マーヤ     Thank you for saving me. [19:10] ユグラ     You remember then? [19:15] ユグラ     I came to say goodbye. [19:16] マーヤ     What? Are you going somewhere far? [19:19] ユグラ     Yes. I don't think I'll be returning. [19:25] マーヤ     You're off to fight, aren't you? [19:29] マーヤ     You could say I had a feeling. [19:34] ユグラ     I see. [19:40] マーヤ     Don't die. [19:44] ユグラ     Hah. The irony of you telling me that. [19:48] ユグラ     Survive. No matter what. [19:53] ユグラ     Goodbye. [20:08] 東山     We have it. Projecting     kaleidoscopic image to screen.

[20:42] 龍吾     Yo, Teru, whatcha think of the new model? [20:44] 輝     I noticed some minor performance upgrades, [20:47] 輝     so I'll let you know after I use them. [20:49] 金田一     I installed jammer units that block the enemy     from ID-ing their own allies into all the Rogues. [20:55] 金田一     Activate them while behind enemy lines. [20:58] 大和     The secret weapon for Operation     Zombie on the Battlefield, huh? [21:01] 輝     But even if it works,     the enemies won't suddenly become allies. [21:05] 輝     They'll attack indiscriminately     to create distraction. [21:09] 龍吾     Still wild we're doing the invading. [21:12] 龍吾     Earth's counterattack finally     feels like the real deal. [21:16] 九世     Well, only playing defense gets boring fast. [21:18] 九世     So let's make sure we kill it with our offense. [21:21] ジュン     What do you say we light 'em up today?

[22:39] アーシェム     As citizens of Xidol, we have spent our     lives accepting its law and values. [22:47] アーシェム     Never questioning, forever obeying blindly. [22:52] アーシェム     But living with you all these past three months, [22:58] アーシェム     I've realized... the flaws in Xidol's ideology!

[23:08] アーシェム     I treasure this experience     from the bottom of my heart. [23:14] アーシェム     So I wish the same for all of Xidol. [23:26] アーシェム     For my true name is Arshem Laia,     and I was once Xidol's princess. [23:31] バルト     Arshem Laia?! Daughter of Queen Crouzade...? [23:36] アーシェム     Yes, but none of that bears any relevance now. [23:39] アーシェム     Because hereafter, I'd like to embark on a new     path for Xidol's future with all of its people. [23:47] バルト     A new path, you say...? [23:49] アーシェム     Yes. It will be a long walk into uncharted lands. [23:53] アーシェム     Yet I firmly believe we can traverse it together. [23:58] アーシェム     I want to discover a path that allows     the Terrans on this planet and us Xidols to coexist!
