[00:06] Komaki
    On April 19th, 1973,
[00:14] Komaki
    a race of extra-terrestrial lifeforms
    launched a landing unit from the moon,
[00:18] ---
    which touched down on Earth.
SIGN    Years Later
[00:32] Komaki
    Ever since, mankind has been engaged
    in all-out war with this alien species.
[00:38] Komaki
    The population of Earth has fallen
    and is now one to two billion.
[00:42] ---
    As the invaders were Beings
[00:44] ---
    of Extra-Terrestrial origin who were
    Adversarial to the human race,
[00:49] ---
    they were named the BETA.
[00:52] ---
    In order to cope with the threat they posed,
[00:54] ---
    humans developed the Tactical Surface Fighter.
[00:57] ---
    In July of 1998, the BETA
    advance on Japan began,
[01:01] ---
    and before long, the Kitakyushu
    and Chugoku regions were lost.
[01:05] ---
    On August 15th, the imperial
    capital of Kyoto finally fell,
[01:11] ---
    and the battlefield expanded
    into eastern Japan.

[01:43] Fisherwomen
    Good question.

[02:37] Kusano
    Ma'am!
[02:38] Ogura
    You're Komaki's wingman now.
    Show her around the base.
[02:42] Kusano
    Roger that, ma'am.
[03:06] Locker sign
    Komaki
[03:08] Locker sign
    Sado was fortified early on, so it could be
    the keystone of the Sea of Japan's defense.
[03:13] Komaki
    What happened to the two TSF battalions
    that are supposed to be assigned here?
[03:17] Kusano
    They were sent to Niigata as backup
    to deal with the BETA advance.
[03:21] Kusano
    And to top it off, the two remaining squadrons
[03:23] ---
    had a lot of their manpower sent with them.
[03:27] Komaki
    So the idea is to have
    new pilots pick up the slack?
[03:30] Kusano
    That goes for me, too. I arrived
    from Yokohama a week ago.
[03:34] Komaki
    So they put two rookies together?
[03:43] Kusano
    If Niigata falls and the mountains in
    Gunma and Nagano become BETA territory...
[03:45] Troops
    Lunchtime.
[03:47] Troops
    Hey, appreciate it.
[03:48] Kusano
    That'll put the entire Kanto plain
    within Laser-class firing range.
[03:53] Komaki
    Tokyo and your Yokohama would
    be in danger of falling, then.
[04:00] Kusano
    We have to keep that from
    happening, no matter what.
[04:04] Komaki
    My old squadmates were all motivated
    to protect their hometowns, too.
[04:09] Komaki
    But over half of them never made
    it back from our first sortie.
[04:14] Komaki
    They couldn't survive the
    eight minutes of death.
[04:17] Kusano
    I know about it.
[04:19] Kusano
    But I still intend to protect this country.
[04:37] Komaki
    Weren't the civilians told to evacuate?
[04:40] Kusano
    A mandatory evacuation order was issued,
[04:43] ---
    but they'd bs abandoning the place
    where they've spent their lives.
[04:46] Kusano
    Or the place their families
    would be returning to visit.
[04:49] Kusano
    Many have refused to leave.
[04:53] Kusano
    Not to mention, with the
    fall of western Japan,
[04:56] Kusano
    it's not even clear where they'd be sent.
[05:00] Komaki
    The people aren't being
    shown the way forward...
[05:05] Komaki
    By either the government or us.

    Deep-sea charges at points 1204
    through 1405 confirmed detonated.
[06:19] Monitors
    I've got a hit at 1503.
[06:21] Monitors
    There's a hit at 1706.
[06:22] Monitors
    There's a faint reading at 1905...
    but it's getting stronger!
[06:25] Monitors
    I want increased observation
    on areas A-20 through A-30!
[06:28] Monitors
    Hurry and get the noise
    from the sea cleared up.
[06:29] Monitors
    We need as clear an environmental
    picture as possible!
[06:32] 2nd
    It's exactly what we were warned about.
[06:35] Monitor
    A brigade-sized advance force of BETA
    is approaching the first alert line.
[06:42] Tachibana
    Begin defensive action!
[06:44] 2nd
    Any word from the fleet patrolling the area?
[06:47] Monitor
    We've been contacted by the
    Shinano in the IJN's 2nd Fleet.

    south-by-southwest from Mano Bay,

[06:59] Monitor
    First wave has made contact
    with the minefield.

    Roger.

    Stay calm. Remember what

    Let's get this done!
[09:04] Monitors
    Alpha Squadron has successfully suppressed
    the area around the defensive wall.

[09:11] 2nd
    Bravo Squadron needs to be in the
    field before the 5th wave hits!
[09:14] B-Squad
    Roger.
[09:15] 2nd
    Considering what we're up against,
    we seem to be holding well enough.
[09:19] Tachibana
    We've got no TSFs to spare.
    I'd say we're barely breaking even.
[09:23] Tachibana
    Has the US sent reinforcements?
[09:25] 2nd
    The 7th Fleet is anchored at
    Yamagata and hasn't budged.

[10:21] Ogura
    Ohya!

    Bravo Squadron is running low on ammunition!
[10:33] Monitor

    Get Alpha Squadron out there!
[10:37] Tachibana
    There was no word in that
    report of a Fort-class!
[10:40] Monitor
    We believe that they crossed
    over from the continent!
[10:43] 2nd
    From Asia?
[10:45] Tachibana
    So that's their game...
[10:47] 2nd
    The listening posts from the initial
    invasion weren't repaired in time.
[10:52] PA
    Fort-class BETA have appeared at 5606!
    Alpha Squadron is to mobilize immediately!
[10:55] Komaki
    Fort-class?
[10:56] ---
    I repeat, Alpha is to mobilize immediately...
[11:07] Tachibana
    We need reinforcements!
[11:08] 2nd
    The homeland's engaged with a
    brigade-class BETA force, too.
[11:11] ---
    They don't have any forces to spare.
[11:12] Tachibana
    What about the US?!
[11:14] 2nd
    Still no response.
[11:17] Tachibana
    What's the point of the damned
    security treaty, then?!
[11:20] Tachibana
    If those things unload any
    Laser-class, it's all over.
[11:24] Squad B
    Back off! Back off!
[11:27] Ogura
    Ishikawa!
[11:29] Ogura
    We had to run into a Fort-class
    after we finished?!

    Fall back! We'll take him!
[11:38] Ogura
    Copy that! All Bravo units, fall back!
[11:40] Sakazaki
    Alpha Squad, the 35mm guns aren't
    going to scratch those Fort-classes.

    Use your 120mm rounds and aim for the joints!

    surfaced have been shot down.

[12:47] Kusano
    Look out!

    Did you complete your mission?
[19:53] Komaki
    The civilians are boarding
    the transport as we speak.
[19:57] Komaki
    I'll head your way as soon

    That won't be necessary.
[20:02] Komaki
    But, ma'am...
[20:03] Sakazaki
    You've completed your mission.
[20:05] Sakazaki
    And we've completed our duty as soldiers.
[20:11] Sakazaki
    Komaki, you need to remember
    everything about this disaster.
[20:16] Sakazaki
    And you need to live.

    That's an order.

    I can't... do that...

    You goddamn BETA!
[21:09] Ozawa
    I want those refugee ships in the clear ASAP!
[21:13] Ozawa
    What about command personnel?
[21:14] Abe
    No one from central command was
    in the evacuation vehicles.
[21:19] Ozawa
    No one at all?
[21:21] Abe
    No, sir. They would only respond with,
    "We're grateful," when told them to evacuate.
[21:27] Ozawa
    I see.
[21:36] Medic
    She's got symptoms of shock,
    but no external wounds.
[21:40] Komaki
    Considering what happened... it's a miracle.
[21:44] Ogura
    What's the harm in at least one miracle?
[21:47] Ogura
    After the hell we just went through...
[21:50] Komaki
    In the following days,
    northern Japan fell to the BETA.
[21:54] Komaki
    There were 36 million dead and
    missing all across Japan.
[22:02] Komaki
    And the 21st BETA Hive was
    erected in Sadogashima.

    The first time I heard it mentioned
[07:59] ---
    was the evening of December 24th,
     from the base commander.
[08:03] Yuuko
    December 24th of what year?
[08:04] Takeru
    This year.
[08:06] Takeru
    Two months from now.
[08:07] Yuuko
    Two months in the future?
[08:09] Takeru
    I've returned to a previous point in time.
[08:12] Takeru
    Are you willing to believe me?
[08:14] Yuuko
    That's a good question.
[08:16] Yuuko
    Why don't you tell me more?
[08:18] Takeru
    I originally came from a world without BETA.
[08:23] Yuuko
    No BETA?
[08:25] Takeru
    Right. And I was an ordinary student there.

[08:29] Takeru
    But one morning, I woke up in this world.
SIGN    United Nations 11th Force Pacific Theater Yokohama Base
[08:32] Takeru
    I went to school, but it
    was a military base...
[08:35] Takeru
    And the people I knew from my world
    were there, but they were different.
[08:40] Yuuko
    Have you ever heard of the
    Everett interpretation?
[08:43] Yuuko
    It supposes that parallel worlds exist.
[08:47] Takeru
    That's definitely what it feels like.
[08:49] Takeru
    But... there are lot of differences,
    the biggest among them being...
[08:54] Yuuko
    The BETA, right?
[08:55] Takeru
    Yeah.
[08:57] Takeru
    This planet's been at total war
    against the BETA for 30 years,
[09:02] ---
    and humanity's almost extinct.
[09:04] Takeru
    I was shaken up by what I saw,
    but ended up becoming a cadet,
[09:08] ---
    and thought I'd try to save the world.
[09:10] Takeru
    Then came December 24th...
[09:15] (Flashback) Rabin
    We had been working toward the
    advancement of Alternative IV,
[09:18] (Flashback) ---
    but now the project is moving on.
[09:21] (Flashback) Rabin
    With the enactment of the
    fifth plan, Alternative V,
[09:26] (Flashback) Rabin
    my authority will be transferred
    to a new command,
[09:28] (Flashback) ---
    under which the Yokohama Base
    will be incorporated.
[09:31] (Flashback) Takeru
    That's... What even is Alternative IV?!
[09:35] (Flashback) Rabin
    That's not something I'm at
    liberty to discuss with cadets.
[09:40] (Flashback) Takeru
    Would it be different if we were regulars?!
[09:45] (Flashback) Rabin
    That is how the military operates.
[09:51] Takeru
    I never found out what Alternative IV was,
[09:55] ---
    but I saw Alternative V
    roll out in front of me.
[09:58] Takeru
    I will never forget the sight
    of those final ships launching.
[10:05] Yuuko
    And it happens on December 24th?
[10:09] Takeru
    There's no time left. I know
    there's something you have to do!

    What are you talking about?

    semiconducting parallel computing circuits

    I want to stop Alternative V,
     and beat the BETA!
[10:27] Takeru
    Will you believe me?
[10:29] Yuuko
    The idea that you're here to
    sabotage the Alternative program
[10:32] ---
    seems a lot more plausible to me.
[10:34] Takeru
    Do you think a spy would go to the trouble
    of trying to convince you of this?!
[10:37] Yuuko
    I want the truth, even if it
    means I might have to kill you.
[10:42] Takeru
    Is this really what you want, Sensei?

    people to escape into space,

    while everyone else is stuck
    on Earth, waiting to die?

    Is that what you want?!

    your sorrows until you cried your eyes out!

    Then act like the genius
    you are, and do something!

    If you can just figure out Alternative IV...
[11:16] Takeru

    important that I can't remember.

[14:16] Takeru

[14:18] Marimo

[14:27] Marimo
    Keep those shoulders straight and chins up!
[14:30] Takeru
    It's not just my memories.
[14:32] ---
    I still have the conditioning
    I gained in the other world, too.
[14:36] Takeru
    I had noticed I felt kinda weird.
[14:39] Takeru
    And now that I think of it, I must've been
    a real burden to them in the other world.
[14:46] Takeru
    Still, even if I continue training,
[14:49] ---
    will that give me a way to make
    sure Alternative IV succeeds?
[14:52] Marimo
    Shirogane, let's hear your explanation
    for what I just went over.
[14:55] Takeru
    Wait, me?
[14:57] Marimo
    It should be easy enough, if you were
    able to think about something else.
[15:02] Takeru
    This example is a pretty standard
    rear-infiltration tactic,
[15:05] ---
    used by a support unit prior to the
    main operation to disrupt enemy comms.
[15:08] Takeru
    I'd say the best approach would be
    to locate the high-voltage lines
[15:11] ---
    feeding into the base and blow those away.
[15:13] Marimo
    And why's that?
[15:16] Takeru
    The objective is neutralizing the
    radar facility, not destroying it,
SIGN    Radar Equipment Destroyed = Unusable
[15:20] Takeru
    so it is better to leave it intact for
    allied forces to utilize after it is captured.
SIGN    Destroy the High-Voltage Cable =
    Radar Equipment Is Disabled, but Fixable
[15:27] Takeru
    This approach is also less dangerous
    than targeting the facility itself,
[15:31] Takeru
    which means a higher chance of success,
    and a lower chance of casualties.
[15:36] Takeru
    That is all.
[15:38] Marimo
    You can sit down.
[15:39] Marimo
    But pay more attention during these lectures.
[15:42] Takeru
    Yes, ma'am!
[15:43] Marimo
    That is all for today.
[15:48] Tama
    Shirogane-san, that was amazing!
[15:52] Meiya
    Yes, I was impressed, too.
[15:54] Meiya
    I thought you would end up doing push-ups.
[15:58] Chizuru
    It's not like the question was that hard.
[16:01] Takeru
    That's kinda harsh, Class Rep.
[16:03] Chizuru
    I'm not the class rep,
    I'm the squad commander!
[16:06] Mitsurugi
    I think that Shirogane's addition to the
    squadron will be a boon to us.
[16:11] Takeru
    Well, I'll try hard not to disappoint.
[16:14] Ayamine
    You wanna be a tryhard, huh?
[16:16] Takeru
    Aw, give it a rest.
[16:20] Chizuru
    Well, if Mitsurugi is right,
    and he does end up contributing,
[16:24] ---
    I think we've got a great
    shot at passing the CCSE.
[16:28] Takeru
    The Comprehensive Combat
    Skill Evaluation, huh?
[16:32] Takeru
    We pass that, and we get
    to move on to TSF training!
[16:35] Chizuru
    That's right. We absolutely cannot fail.
[16:39] Mitsurugi
    Indeed we can't.
[16:40] Tama
    And once Yoroi-san gets back...
[16:44] Ayamine
    This time...
[16:46] Takeru
    Right...
[16:50] Yuuko
    And? What exactly is this
    decision you've made?
[16:54] Takeru
    I'm going to graduate from the training flight
    as soon as possible to become a pilot.
[16:59] Yuuko
    You came down here to tell me that?
[17:02] Takeru
    It's to help make sure
    Alternative IV is a success!
[17:07] Yuuko
    What do you mean?
[17:08] Takeru
    As a cadet, there's a limit to how
    much trust I can expect from you,
[17:11] ---
    or how much help I can offer.
[17:14] Takeru
    There's a huge difference when a
    base commander asks for something,
[17:18] ---
    compared to a cadet!
[17:20] Yuuko
    You wanna be base CO? How very ambitious.
[17:24] Yuuko
    Do you actually know what
    Alternative IV entails?
[17:27] Takeru
    Only bits and pieces.
[17:29] Takeru
    And the fact that you
    were at the center of it.
[17:32] Takeru
    And how it didn't work out...
[17:34] Yuuko
    So you're trying to make sure a plan that
    you don't even understand is a success?
[17:38] Takeru
    I just want to keep Alternative V
     from happening!
[17:42] ---
    And if IV succeeds...
[17:43] Yuuko
    IV's success will amount
    to V being scrapped.
[17:47] Takeru
    And that's enough for me!
[17:49] ---
    I'll try to get through training as fast
    as possible and become a regular soldier!
[17:53] Takeru
    And I'll do whatever I can to help
    Alternative IV succeed as soon as possible!
[17:59] Yuuko
    Mind if I ask you something else?
[18:01] Takeru
    Yeah?
[18:02] Yuuko
    You mentioned you're from a
    world with no BETA, right?
[18:06] Takeru
    That's right.
[18:07] Yuuko
    What did you feel when you
    ended up in this world?
[18:11] Yuuko
    And what did you want to do?
[18:16] Takeru
    "I want out of this screwed-up world."
[18:19] Takeru
    "I want to go back to my world."
     That sort of thing.
[18:24] Yuuko
    And yet here you are,
    trying to save this world.
[18:30] Yuuko
    When did that happen?
    What caused the change of heart?
[18:34] Takeru
    I...
[18:36] Yuuko
    No need to force an answer.
[18:39] Yuuko
    Hurry up and become a big shot,
    so you can make my job easier.
[18:47] Takeru
    I wonder when it happened.
[18:49] Takeru
    "I'm from another world. The war going
    on here has nothing to do with me."
[18:57] Takeru
    At some point, I stopped thinking that.
[19:11] Takeru
    Meiya... er, I guess
    I should call you Mitsurugi.
[19:14] Meiya
    Oh, it's you, Shirogane.
[19:17] Meiya
    Calling me by my given name so quickly...
[19:19] ---
    Do you not know the order of things?
[19:21] Takeru
    Sorry. Guess I'm just casual
    to the point of being annoying.
[19:24] Takeru
    I'm curious. What were you doing?
[19:27] Meiya
    If it wasn't clear, I was training.
    I try to make a habit of it.
[19:32] Meiya
    I want to become a pilot as quickly
    as possible, so I can head to the battlefield.
[19:36] Meiya
    It's nothing out of the ordinary,
    but there are things I'm trying to protect.
[19:41] Takeru
    What is this? It feels familiar.
[19:45] Takeru
    Can I ask what they are?
[19:48] Mitsurugi
    This planet, the people of this land,
     and the country of Japan.
[19:55] Takeru
    Mitsurugi...
[20:00] Mitsurugi
    I want to protect the people.
    Their hearts... their souls.
[20:05] Mitsurugi
    I want to defend their way of life.
[20:07] Mitsurugi
    Their spirit, which has been passed
    down since ancient times.
[20:12] Mitsurugi
    It's my belief that these things
    are what makes a "country."
[20:16] Mitsurugi
    Because there is no country
    without its people.
[20:18] Takeru
    Up until that point, whenever
    I thought of a country,
[20:21] ---
    I thought in broad terms
    about their government.
[20:24] Takeru
    But I never really thought about
    what the word actually meant.
[20:29] Takeru
    Meiya helped me realize that.
[20:32] Takeru
    And now I find myself back in this world.
[20:36] Meiya
    Is there nothing you're looking to defend?
[20:41] Takeru
    Sure there is.
[20:43] Takeru
    I want to protect Earth,
    and the entire human race.
[20:50] Meiya
    Earth and the human race...
[20:53] Takeru
    And for the record, I wasn't
    trying to one-up you.
[20:56] Meiya
    I wasn't going to suggest you were.
[21:01] Meiya
    You're an admirable one.
[21:03] Takeru
    You think so?
[21:12] Takeru
    I'm honestly surprised
    I said something like that.
[21:15] Takeru
    But what I'm trying to protect...

    Commence assembly!
SIGN    Something to Protect
[03:08] Shirogane
    All done, ma'am.
[03:11] Marimo
    Fifty seconds...
[03:13] Marimo
    Ayamine had the previous best time,
     at a minute and 17 seconds.
[03:18] Marimo
    Looks good. No problems.
[03:20] Marimo
    He left you all in the dust.
    Make sure it doesn't stay that way.
[03:23] 207th
    Ma'am!
[03:24] Tama
    That was incredible, Shirogane-san!
[03:27] Shirogane
    It wasn't a big deal.
[03:29] Meiya
    There's no need for modesty.
[03:31] Ayamine
    Gonna get my record back...
[03:32] Sakaki
    I'm with her. Don't expect
    to always be on top.
[03:36] Shirogane
    There's an idea. Maybe I can
    help motivate them.
[03:40] Shirogane
    I'm kind of curious.
[03:42] Shirogane
    Do you all have something
    you want to protect?
[03:46] Sakaki
    What brought this on?
[03:48] Shirogane
    I used to think my own life
    was the most important thing.
[03:53] Shirogane
    But now there's something I wanna protect,
    even if means putting myself at risk.
[03:58] Meiya
    Which led you to discard your exemption
    from the draft and come here, right?
[04:02] Shirogane
    Right.
[04:04] Shirogane
    I think to beat the BETA, you need
    a bunch of strong-willed people
[04:07] ---
    with high-minded ideals to join up...
[04:09] Shirogane
    And they all need to work together.
[04:15] Shirogane
    You were the ones who taught me that.
[04:19] Tama
    I think I understand.
[04:20] Shirogane
    I guess I'm saying... let's do our best.
[04:23] 207th
    Right.
[04:26] Shirogane
    And now that the serious talk is done with,
[04:30] Shirogane
    do you girls mind if
    I choose how I refer to you?
[04:33] Sakaki
    What do you mean, exactly?
[04:35] Shirogane
    Class Rep.
[04:36] Shirogane
    Meiya.
[04:37] Shirogane
    Tama.
[04:39] Shirogane
    Ayamine.
[04:40] Shirogane
    Will those work?
[04:41] Sakaki
    Why am I "Class Rep"?
[04:43] Meiya
    I see you've dropped all pretense.
[04:44] Tama
    Tama? Like a cat's name?
[04:47] Ayamine
    Kinda normal...
[04:51] Takeru
    I think I've moved things up a fair bit.
[04:53] Takeru
    Now, once Mikoto gets back...
[04:56] Takeru
    Was there anything else
    I could get done ahead of time?
[04:59] Takeru
    Maybe meeting Kasumi?
[05:18] Takeru
    I knew she'd be here.
[05:26] Takeru
    Hey!
[05:32] Takeru
    Did you really have to just up and run?
[05:42] Takeru
    It's nice to meet you. I'm Shirogane Takeru.
[05:45] Takeru
    What's your name?
[05:51] Kasumi
    Kasumi...
[05:53] Kasumi
    Yashiro Kasumi.
[05:56] Shirogane
    Hey, you actually told me this time!
[05:58] Shirogane
    Sorry, that probably doesn't
    make a lot of sense, huh?
[06:03] Kasumi
    I don't mind.
[06:06] Shirogane
    I see.
[06:07] Shirogane
    Okay, Kasumi...
[06:10] Shirogane
    How about we shake hands
    to mark the occasion?
[06:12] Kasumi
    Shake hands?
[06:17] Shirogane
    Yep. Just like that.
[06:20] Shirogane
    Her hands are so tiny.
[06:22] Shirogane
    I guess I never got the chance
    to notice in the other world.
[06:27] Shirogane
    Well, I've got stuff to do, so I should go.
[06:39] Yuuko
    Well, this is new. What's gotten into you?
[06:43] Shirogane
    Kasumi?
[06:45] Yuuko
    Come on over here.
[06:54] Shirogane
    Something about seeing people whisper
    in front of me makes me extra curious.
[06:59] Yuuko
    Really? Okay, then.
[07:01] Takeru
    So, what were you talking about?
[07:03] Yuuko
    Nothing to do with you or anything.
[07:06] Takeru
    That's a lie. I'm pretty sure that's a lie.
[07:11] Yuuko
    So, what did you want?
[07:13] Yuuko
    Don't act dumb. You came
    down to see Yashiro, right?
[07:17] Shirogane
    Right...
[07:18] Shirogane
    That emblem on Kasumi's shoulder
    says "Alternative IV," right?
[07:23] Yuuko
    Yes, it does. And?
[07:25] Shirogane
    In the other world, it never
    really caught my attention,
[07:28] ---
    because I had no idea what it meant.
[07:31] Shirogane
    But...
[07:32] Yuuko
    What is it?
[07:33] Shirogane
    It got me thinking about Sumika.
[07:36] Yuuko
    Kagami Sumika?
[07:38] Shirogane
    Right. When I crossed over
    from my original world,
[07:41] ---
    I recognized a lot of what I saw.
[07:43] Shirogane
    But Sumika didn't seem to exist anymore.
[07:47] Shirogane
    You weren't able to find any
    trace of her either, right?
[07:52] Yuuko
    Right.
[07:53] Shirogane
    But something about Kasumi
    reminds me of her.
[07:58] (Flashback) Kasumi
    You wouldn't understand, Takeru-chan!
[08:01] Shirogane
    Sumika was the only person who
    ever called me "Takeru-chan."
[08:06] Yuuko
    I'm sure you realize this on some level,
[08:09] ---
    but she's one of the major
    players in Alternative IV.
[08:13] Yuuko
    And far more important than you are.
[08:16] Takeru
    Does that go for the brain
    in that cylinder, too?
[08:19] Yuuko
    Yes. It and Yashiro are two parts of a set.
[08:23] Shirogane
    What exactly is Alternative IV?
[08:28] Yuuko
    A plan that involves a single child
    bringing new hope to all of mankind.
[08:34] Yuuko
    I'm amazed I was able to sum it up so well.
    I guess geniuses have a way with words.
[08:38] Shirogane
    And that child is Kasumi?
[08:42] Yuuko
    No comment.
[08:44] Yuuko
    I'm not going to tell you that.
[08:48] Shirogane
    But I thought you trusted me!
[08:50] Yuuko
    It isn't even a question of trust.
[08:54] Yuuko
    I'm curious. Can you actually
    change the course of history?
SIGN    October 25th, 2001
[09:02] Marimo
    Today, you're gonna be doing
    loaded marching drills.
SIGN    In Front of the Storage Facility
[09:04] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:06] Shirogane
    It's the same. Exactly
    the same as my memories.
[09:11] Yuuko
    Has anything new, different from what you
    remember, happened these last few days?
[09:16] Shirogane
    Nothing... Nothing at all!
[09:20] Shirogane
    No! It's all been the same as before!
[09:23] Yuuko
    But you've done a fair bit differently
    since coming here, correct?
[09:27] Shirogane
    Right.
[09:28] Yuuko
    I'd wager that means that possessing
    memories of the future
[09:31] ---
    doesn't really make much of
    a difference to the outcome.
[09:33] Yuuko
    Different routes can lead to the same place.
[09:36] Yuuko
    And slight differences won't be
    enough to affect that outcome.
[09:39] Shirogane
    Are you saying there's no
    way to change the future?!
[09:43] Yuuko
    How did you even end up here?
[09:46] Yuuko
    The world you came from originally,
    and then the one you found yourself in...
[09:51] Yuuko
    They were wildly different, weren't they?
[09:53] Shirogane
    That's right.
[09:54] Yuuko
    I'd say that means there's an infinite
    number of different, parallel worlds.
[09:58] Yuuko
    There could even be a world for every
    different possibility you can imagine.
[10:03] Yuuko
    In one world, maybe the dinosaurs survived.
[10:07] Yuuko
    It's easy to imagine one where
    Earth never formed, too.
[10:10] Yuuko
    And yet somehow, you've ended up
    in almost the exact same world...
[10:14] Yuuko
    I'd say that's because
    you wanted it to happen.
[10:17] Yuuko
    "The reason Shirogane Takeru
    ended up in this world..."
[10:20] ---
    "is because he felt like he
    needed to do something here,"
[10:23] Yuuko
    "and strongly wished for it to happen."
[10:25] Yuuko
    That's one possible interpretation.
[10:27] Shirogane
    Being able to travel through time and
    different worlds just because you want it?
[10:31] Shirogane
    I've never heard of anything like it.
[10:33] Yuuko
    If my theory is accurate,
[10:35] ---
    there could be consequences for both
    you and the people you interact with,
[10:40] ---
    rooted in your travel between worlds.
[10:43] Shirogane
    After I leave?!
[10:44] Shirogane
    I don't like the sound of that...
[10:46] Yuuko
    In that case, make sure that you accomplish
    whatever you're trying to do in this world.
[10:56] Shirogane
    Gekishins, huh?
[10:58] Tama
    Are we gonna get to fly in those?
[11:01] Shirogane
    Only if we pass the CCSE.
[11:04] Sakaki
    That's right. We need to be sure to pass,
[11:06] ---
    and gain the right to pilot TSFs this time.
[11:15] Marimo
    It's time for today's training!
[11:18] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[11:21] Shirogane
    Nothing has changed?
[11:24] Shirogane
    If I'm only making tiny differences...
[11:28] Mikoto
    Sorry. You okay?
[11:31] Shirogane
    Yeah, sorry about that...
[11:34] Shirogane
    M-Mikoto?
[11:37] Shirogane
    That's right. She gets out
    of the hospital today.
[11:41] Mikoto
    S-Sorry again. I'm Yoroi Mikoto.
[11:44] Shirogane
    Right. I'm Shirogane Takeru.
[11:47] Mikoto
    I was in a rush to see the instructor.
[11:50] Shirogane
    Hang on. What's today's date?
[11:53] Mikoto
    It's November 1st. Is something wrong?

SIGN    November 11th, 2001
[12:18] Kasumi
    Good morning.
[12:19] Shirogane
    Oh, Kasumi?
[12:22] Shirogane
    Thanks for always coming to wake me up.
[12:26] Shirogane
    Come to think of it, it was
    the same in the last world.
[12:28] Kasumi
    Bye-bye.
[12:29] Shirogane
    One thing, Kasumi.
[12:31] Shirogane
    You might hear the alarm go off,
     but don't worry about it.
[12:34] Kasumi
    Okay.
[12:38] Shirogane
    I hope this works out. Because if it does...
SIGN    Days Earlier
[12:42] Shirogane
    BETA from Sadogashima are going
    to surface on the mainland.
[12:46] (Flashback) Yuuko
    I need details.
[12:48] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Right... it happens on November 11th.
[12:54] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Some of the BETA that surface
[12:56] (Flashback) ---
    make it past the IJA's defense line,
     and we lose track of them.
[13:00] (Flashback) Shirogane
    A while later, the BETA reconvene and break
    through the secondary line of defense.
[13:06] (Flashback) Shirogane
    They change directions to travel south along
    the Northern Kanto final line of defense,
[13:10] (Flashback) Shirogane
    through Nagano, Gunma, and Niigata...
[13:15] (Flashback) Shirogane
    With the Imperial Army trying to keep them
    from breaking the final line of defense.
[13:20] (Flashback) Shirogane
    I'm pretty sure if the
    Imperial forces had lost,
[13:22] (Flashback) ---
    it would've meant the BETA
    reaching critical territory.
[13:27] (Flashback) ---
    That was when it became clear
    where the BETA were headed:
[13:31] (Flashback) ---
    Right here. Yokohama Base.
[13:34] (Flashback) Yuuko
    What happens then?
[13:35] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Ultimately, the IJA manages
    to take down the BETA.
[13:39] (Flashback) Shirogane
    And that's that.
[13:41] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Really? That's all?
[13:43] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Yes.
[13:44] (Flashback) Yuuko
    I see... from Sadogashima, huh?
[13:47] (Flashback) Yuuko
    And?
[13:47] (Flashback) Shirogane
    The safest thing to do would be to wipe
    them out while they're coming ashore.
[13:51] (Flashback) Yuuko
    And you don't know the exact location?
[13:53] (Flashback) Shirogane
    I know it'll be in Niigata.
[13:54] (Flashback) Shirogane
    But beyond that...
[13:58] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Sensei, we have to do something!
[14:01] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Except there's no evidence
    for anything you're claiming.
[14:04] (Flashback) Shirogane
    But...
[14:06] (Flashback) Yuuko
    There's one way to prove
    you're right, though.
[14:08] (Flashback) Shirogane
    What's that?!
[14:10] (Flashback) Yuuko
    To do nothing.
[14:13] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Let's sit back and see
    if it actually happens.
[14:16] (Flashback) Yuuko
    It'll prove that you're right if it does.
[14:19] (Flashback) Shirogane
    I'm supposed to just let all those people
    be put in danger just to prove a point?!
[14:22] (Flashback) Shirogane
    If that's a joke, I don't
    think this is the time!
[14:25] (Flashback) Yuuko
    How long do you expect your
    ranting to hold water?
[14:28] (Flashback) Yuuko
    You haven't predicted the
    future once so far.
[14:32] (Flashback) Shirogane
    But... I knew about Alternative...
[14:34] (Flashback) Yuuko
    The project was already underway.
[14:36] (Flashback) ---
    There are any number of ways you
    could've learned about it.
[14:39] (Flashback) Shirogane
    B-But...
[14:40] (Flashback) Yuuko
    I thought you were trying to
    save Earth and all of humanity?
[14:45] (Flashback) Yuuko
    And you're going to flinch at a few dozen,
     maybe a few hundred casualties?
[14:49] (Flashback) Yuuko
    I can't understand that.
[14:53] (Flashback) Yuuko
    You didn't think you'd be able to accomplish
    this without making any sacrifices, did you?
[14:58] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Do you realize there are
    soldiers all across the world
[15:01] (Flashback) ---
    fighting and dying in battle against
    the BETA as we speak?
[15:05] (Flashback) Yuuko
    If you want to save the world,
[15:06] (Flashback) ---
    your priority should be proving
    that you're right. Am I wrong?
[15:13] (Flashback) Shirogane
    The math isn't that simple for me!
[15:16] (Flashback) Shirogane
    I can't just turn a blind eye
     to so many people dying!
[15:22] (Flashback) Yuuko
    You insist on coming up with
    a counter-measure, then?
[15:24] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Please!
[15:26] (Flashback) Yuuko
    All because of your
    completely baseless claims?
[15:30] (Flashback) Shirogane
    I'm begging you!
[15:37] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Okay, then. Let's try it your way.
[15:41] (Flashback) Yuuko
    It's not exactly logical, but you
    seem to think it's the right call.
[15:45] (Flashback) Yuuko
    So I'm going to trust you.
[15:49] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Then...
[15:51] (Flashback) Yuuko
    I guess I'll have the imperial forces
    in the Etchu and Kaetsu parts of Niigata
[15:55] (Flashback) ---
    go to DEFCON 2 around the 10th.
[16:00] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Can we send reinforcements
    from Yokohama Base?
[16:02] (Flashback) Yuuko
    The UN can't provide support without a
    request from the Japanese government.
[16:06] (Flashback) Yuuko
    The thing about armies is
    they're slow to get moving,
[16:08] (Flashback) ---
    and even harder to stop
    once they're in motion.
[16:10] (Flashback) Yuuko
    You had better be ready for what happens.
[16:12] (Flashback) ---
    Understood, ma'am!
[16:15] Shirogane
    If everything happens as I think it will...
[16:19] Meiya
    What is it, Takeru? You seem nervous.
[16:22] Shirogane
    Do I?
[16:23] Sakaki
    Well, you've been staring at
    your watch, for one thing.

[16:55] Shirogane
    This is it!
[16:57] Meiya
    What's going on?
[16:58] Sakaki
    Is that... the emergency assembly alarm?
[17:00] Mikoto
    What happened?
[17:00] Sakaki
    Hurry, people!
[17:03] Sakaki
    Everyone is accounted for.
[17:05] Marimo
    Here's the current situation.
[17:08] ---
    This morning at 06:20, a BETA force
    from the Sadogashima hive appeared.
[17:12] ---
    Then at 06:27, they breached
    the oceanic defense line.
[17:15] ---
    The enemy then surfaced at Niigata.
[17:17] ---
    At 06:48, the 10th
     Imperial Division engaged.
[17:23] ---
    As of now, 07:10, combat is still continuing.
[17:27] Currently; at 07
    The 14th Imperial Division
    has joined the battle,
[17:29] ---
    and they currently have the advantage.
[17:31] Currently; at 07
    It's believed to only be a matter of
    time until the BETA are wiped out.
[17:34] Currently; at 07
    Based on their direction,
[17:37] ---
    it has been deduced that their likely
    destination was here: the Yokohama Base.
[17:42] Currently; at 07
    Which is why, until the BETA
    are confirmed to be wiped out,
[17:45] ---
    the base will be on DEFCON 2 status.
[17:48] Currently; at 07
    You cadets are on standby.
[17:51] Currently; at 07
    Head to your rooms, and be prepared to
    take action as the situation develops.
[17:55] Currently; at 07
    That is all.
[17:57] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[17:59] Shirogane
    This is totally different from before.
[18:00] ---
    And should keep casualties to a minimum.
[18:05] Meiya
    The landing from Sado...
[18:07] ---
    There'll be fighting on
    the mainland, won't there?
[18:10] Shirogane
    Yeah.
[18:11] Meiya
    Do you think the people who
    live there will be safe?
[18:15] Shirogane
    They said it was only a matter of
    time until the BETA were wiped out.
[18:18] Shirogane
    It'll be okay.
[18:21] Meiya
    I suppose you're right.
[18:25] PA
    Attention all personnel,
[18:26] ---
    the BETA attack has been eliminated.
    DEFCON 2 is now being lifted.
[18:29] PA
    I repeat, DEFCON 2 has been lifted.
[18:33] Shirogane
    Sensei!
[18:37] Yuuko
    Would you quiet down?
    I can hear you just fine.
[18:40] Shirogane
    Thank you so much!
[18:41] Yuuko
    No thanks necessary. I did
    it to see what would happen.
[18:46] Shirogane
    Still, I'm glad! The future's bound
    to change for the better now!
[18:50] Yuuko
    You certainly seem pleased.
[18:52] Yuuko
    I'm sure this was great for you, but...
[18:55] Shirogane
    Is there a problem?
[18:58] Yuuko
    Look, I'm busy, so get out.
[19:01] Shirogane
    Okay...
[19:13] Shirogane
    I'm sure she has her own
    problems to worry about.
[19:15] Shirogane
    Still... even so...
[19:23] Shirogane
    The future is changing.
[19:25] Shirogane
    We can change it, and make
    Alternative IV a success!
[19:38] Marimo
    That concludes today's training.
[19:40] Marimo
    Stay where you are and listen up!
[19:41] Marimo
    You've all done a great job so far.
[19:43] Marimo
    I think, for a change of pace,
    you've earned a little reward.
[19:47] Shirogane
    Right...
[19:48] Marimo
    Tomorrow, you're all going to be enjoying
    a week-long vacation in the South Pacific.
[19:52] Shirogane
    I know what happens next.
SIGN    November 13th, 2001
[20:01] Marimo
    This mission will be carried
    out under conditions
[20:03] ---
    where TSF operation is not an option,
[20:06] Marimo
    with the objective being to
    escape the combat zone, on foot.
[20:10] Marimo
    In other words, your number one
    objective will be getting out.
[20:16] Shirogane
    The Comprehensive Combat Skill Evaluation.
[20:19] Shirogane
    If we can get through this,
    we'll be able to fly TSFs.
[20:25] Marimo
    You're going to need to
    prove that you're fit
[20:27] ---
    to be Tactical Surface Fighter pilots!
[20:30] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[20:31] Marimo
    Synchronize your watches.
[20:34] Marimo
    Commence operation!
[20:36] Shirogane
    Even with the knowledge I have,
    this exercise won't be easy.
[20:40] Shirogane
    I realize that.
[20:42] Shirogane
    But...
[20:43] Sakaki
    We've reached and secured
     the evacuation point.
[20:45] Shirogane
    Where's the transport?
[20:48] Marimo
    Mission complete.
[20:49] Marimo
    207th Flight, attention!
[20:52] Marimo
    Congratulations. You've all
    managed to pass the CCSE.
[21:04] Meiya
    Sakaki...
[21:06] Mikoto
    Next comes TSFs!
[21:08] Ayamine
    One step forward.
[21:10] Shirogane
    Yeah. That's right!
[21:12] Mikoto
    We did it, Takeru!
[21:13] Shirogane
    Yeah, thanks to you all!
[21:17] Shirogane
    I know we'll be able to change this world.

[02:50] (Flashback) Marimo
    And that means the computer will provide
    support for most of your basic maneuvers.
[02:55] (Flashback) Marimo
    For manual operation, you'll be using the
    control sticks on the console armrests,
[02:59] (Flashback) ---
    and the throttle pedals in the footrests.
[03:01] (Flashback) Marimo
    Mastery of these will give your TSF
    full three-dimensional maneuverability.
[03:06] (Flashback) Marimo
    They can provide you with strength,
    jumping ability, defenses,
[03:10] (Flashback) ---
    and sharper senses than
    you'd ever have otherwise.
[03:14] (Flashback) Marimo
    I expect you all get a grasp of
    them as quickly as possible,
[03:16] (Flashback) ---
    and get to work on exterminating
    mankind's enemy, the BETA!
[03:18] (Flashback) 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:20] (Flashback) Marimo
    Wipe them from the face of the earth!
[03:22] (Flashback) 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[03:40] Marimo
    That concludes Movement Training Course D.
[03:43] Marimo
    Come on out, Shirogane.
[03:50] Shirogane
    Maybe I overdid it a little.
[03:55] Meiya
    Takeru! What were those maneuvers?!
[03:58] Marimo
    Shirogane...
[04:00] Marimo
    Are you sure you don't have
     any TSF experience?
[04:04] Shirogane
    Uh, of course not!
[04:08] Sakaki
    Instructor!
[04:08] Sakaki
    Was Shirogane really that amazing?
[04:12] Marimo
    Historically speaking, the fastest
    any cadet ever cleared Course D
[04:16] ---
    was in five days.
[04:18] Meiya
    And he managed that in
    effectively one day?
[04:21] Mikoto
    That's awesome, Takeru!
[04:23] Sakaki
    You can't expect us to
    complete Course D that fast!
[04:26] Takeru
    Whoa, I never said I did...
[04:28] Takeru
    But thinking back,
[04:28] Ayamine
    I can never manage to hover right.
[04:29] ---
    they were all looking pretty good
    after the first two or three days.
[04:30] Sakaki
    Maybe if we had a better sense of
    the distance from the ground...
[04:33] Shirogane
    I think it was after they
    looked at my control logs?
[04:36] Shirogane
    Instructor! Can you show
    the others my control logs?
[04:40] Marimo
    What?
[04:42] Shirogane
    If my techniques are really that impressive,
[04:44] ---
    I think the entire squad could
    benefit from using them.
[04:47] Marimo
    Someone else made the same
    suggestion yesterday.
[04:51] Marimo
    Executive Officer Kouzuki.
[04:54] Marimo
    On her recommendation, the curriculum for
    your training has been completely revised.
[04:59] Marimo
    As part of that, your squad
    will have priority access
[05:02] ---
    to the simulators until you've
    completed your training.
[05:05] Meiya
    That's...
[05:06] Tama
    Really amazing!
[05:08] Sakaki
    Until we're finished?
[05:09] Marimo
    In addition to that, your personal training
    units will be delivered tomorrow.
[05:14] Shirogane
    Tomorrow?
[05:15] Marimo
    Right. The XO said that TSFs are like cars,
    where experience is the best teacher.
[05:21] Marimo
    But even I didn't expect her to go this far.
[05:24] Shirogane
    For the Fubukis to show up this early...
[05:27] Shirogane
    Things are definitely ahead of schedule!
[05:33] Shirogane
    This is for you. It's a shell.
[05:35] Shirogane

[05:39] Shirogane
    Put it to your ear.
[05:41] Shirogane
    You can hear the ocean.

    It's rumbling.
[05:49] Shirogane
    See? You got a little taste
    of going to the beach.
[05:54] Shirogane
    What's wrong?
[05:55] Kasumi
    I've never seen the ocean before.
[05:59] Shirogane
    But it's visible from near the base...
[06:01] Shirogane
    Kasumi, have you never been outside—
[06:03] Yuuko
    There you are!
[06:04] Shirogane
    Sensei?
[06:05] Yuuko
    I've got some questions about your TSF maneuvers.
[06:09] Shirogane
    Is that a good idea? What about your research?
[06:12] Yuuko
    Even I need a break sometimes, okay?!
[06:15] Yuuko
    Now, get a move on!

    Understood?

    I'm dead?

    who's originally from this world?
[08:39] Shirogane

    How about you shut up and just
    answer the question, cadet?!

    priorities should lie elsewhere.

    What did you say?!
[09:18] Shirogane

    against cadets is more valuable than—

    this hard against the BETA...

    It wouldn't have ended the way it did!
[09:38] Shirogane
    Aren't your power and authority supposed
    to be for protecting humanity?!
[09:43] Lady Pilot
    What?!
[09:44] Tsukuyomi
    Are UN pilots taught that this kind of
    unseemly public display is acceptable?

    Th-The Imperial Royal Guard...

    Uh, no, Lieutenant, but this
    is an internal UN matter that—
[09:57] Tsukuyomi
    This man is correct.
[09:59] ---
    The UN did not grant you authority so you
     could abuse it for personal satisfaction!
[10:02] Kai Pilot
    N-No, that's...

    certain circumstances that were agreed upon

    and outside of my jurisdiction,

    may as well be aimed at the Royal Guard,

    Know your place!

    Movement Training Course F is now over.
[11:36] Marimo
    That's it for the simulators today.
[11:43] Shirogane
    You can tell how much
    newer these Fubukis are.
[11:46] Shirogane
    They're way more agile and control
    better than those clunky old Gekishins...
[11:53] Shirogane
    That said, they're also a lot
    more sensitive and finicky.
[11:57] Shirogane
    I wish they could be more intuitive,
    like in video games,
[12:01] ---
    with cancels and combos...
[12:04] Shirogane
    Maybe with special inputs for an auto-cancel.
[12:09] Shirogane
    Video games...
[12:19] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Okay, dash in as soon as the round starts!
[12:21] (Flashback) Shirogane

    Go, Sumika!
[12:24] (Flashback) Shirogane
    There!
[12:27] (Flashback) Mikoto
    It's gonna be like that, huh?!
[12:30] (Flashback) Sumika
    Hey, I hit something!
[12:32] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Good! Now let's close in!
[12:34] (Flashback) Shirogane
    When I give you the signal, go for the combo!
[12:36] (Flashback) Sumika
    What's a c-combo?!
[12:38] (Flashback) Sumika
    I don't know what you're talking about!
[12:40] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Don't worry about it!
    You're playing on beginner mode.
[12:42] (Flashback) Shirogane
    Once the marker changes colors, you just
    have to pull both triggers at once!
[12:46] (Flashback) Sumika
    O-Okay, got it!
[12:48] (Flashback) Mikoto
    Here they come, Meiya!
[12:49] (Flashback) Meiya
    I'm ready for them!
[12:50] (Flashback) Meiya
    Now, Sumika!
[12:58] Meiya
    That was a really
    well-thought-out beginner mode.
[13:01] Meiya
    They had combos and auto-cancels
    mapped to a single button press.
[13:06] Meiya
    I wish these things were as easy
    to use as playing Valgern-On*.
[13:12] Meiya
    Wait, maybe they should be?
[13:15] Yuuko
    What the hell is the
    "Valgern-On-ification of TSFs"?
[13:18] Shirogane
    It's the name of a video game where a lot
     of the special maneuvers that I've been using
[13:23] ---
    can be learned easily by any
    player with a little practice.
[13:26] Yuuko
    "Any player," huh?
[13:28] Shirogane
    In my old world, the difference between
    games and TSFs gave me some pause at first.
[13:33] Shirogane
    But once I was used to the controls, I was
    able to replicate a lot of the same moves.
[13:37] Shirogane
    I think that's a big part of why
[13:39] ---
    a total novice like me was able to
    figure out TSFs as quickly as I did.
[13:43] Shirogane
    So I figure, why not have the machine
    replicate the same moves I'm using?
[13:50] Yuuko
    It's an idea...
[13:51] Yuuko
    But what specifically are you suggesting?
[13:57] Shirogane
    Cancels and combos.
[14:04] Shirogane
    For example,
[14:06] ---
    you know how a TSF will automatically
    brace itself when it's about to fall over?
[14:09] Shirogane
    And once it's in that recovery sequence,
    it stops accepting manual inputs.
[14:13] Shirogane
    Cancels are a way of turning that off.
[14:16] Yuuko
    Then how would you catch yourself?
[14:19] Shirogane
    It's more important to have the
    option to shoot while falling.
[14:22] Yuuko
    And what are these combos
    you're talking about?
[14:25] Shirogane
    It refers getting a different
    kind of outcome,
[14:28] ---
    based on the commands
     you execute and the timing.
[14:30] Shirogane
    For example...
[14:32] Shirogane
    Let's say you throw three right-handed
    punches, and a forward kick normally.
[14:36] Shirogane
    But if you hit those same buttons,
     except faster,
[14:38] ---
    you get right-left-right punches,
     and a roundhouse kick.
[14:42] Shirogane
    That's a combo.
[14:43] Yuuko
    Like a string of attacks...
[14:46] Yuuko
    And is there any reason not to have those
    attack strings registered to a single button?
[14:50] Shirogane
    It'd work, but...
[14:53] Shirogane
    Let's say you're three-fourths
    of the way through the sequence,
[14:56] ---
    then find yourself in danger.
[14:57] ---
    You need to have the option
    to cancel it out and evade.
[15:00] Yuuko
    I think I understand what you're getting at.
[15:03] ---
    It boils down to two things:
[15:05] ---
    a simplification of the controls, and
    creating a suite of sequential maneuvers.
[15:10] ---
    You basically want to automate
    the most frequently used moves,
[15:13] ---
    but also include the ability to
    cancel out of those sequences.
[15:17] ---
    And you think that's possible?
[15:19] Shirogane
    Yes.
[15:20] Shirogane
    If you can convert my control logs...
[15:22] ---
    Then I can handle the setups for the combos.
[15:24] Yuuko
    That could work.
[15:25] Yuuko
    But do you really think that TSFs with
    preset, inflexible sets of moves
[15:29] ---
    would be useful in combat?
[15:33] Yuuko
    It's not like the enemy is always
    going to attack the same way.
[15:36] Yuuko
    Can you really come up with a pattern
    for any situation imaginable?
[15:41] Shirogane
    Maybe we could just stick to the
    most broadly applicable ones?
[15:45] Yuuko
    And you want the computer to be able
    to adjust for all variables?
[15:48] Yuuko
    At a certain level, that amounts to
    phasing pilots out of the equation.
[15:51] Shirogane
    Wouldn't that be better, in the long run?
[15:56] Yuuko
    You're asking me to create a machine with
    cognitive ability comparable to a human's.
[16:01] Shirogane
    Oh, I get it.
[16:03] ---
    It doesn't matter how
    versatile the move sets are,
[16:06] Shirogane
    a machine wouldn't be able to accurately judge
    how to execute them based on the situation.
[16:12] Shirogane
    Man, I really thought
    I was onto something, too.
[16:16] Yuuko
    I can see why, which is
    why we're going to try it.
[16:20] Yuuko
    The big issue is the parallel processing speed
    needed to sync with pilot input, right?
[16:25] Yuuko
    TSF movements are controlled via the
    human brain, albeit indirectly,
[16:31] ---
    and that still counts as parallel processing.
[16:33] Yuuko
    Any corrections to the timing of these
    moves on an environmental basis
[16:37] ---
    should be manageable if we can boost the
    computer's automated processing power.
[16:42] Shirogane
    Then it is possible?!
[16:43] Yuuko
    It'll be easy, too.
    I'll have the arrangements made.
[16:49] Yuuko
    Your training unit is going
    to be the testbed for this.
[16:52] Yuuko
    All of your data's going to
    be collected, so keep that in mind.
[16:55] Yuuko
    Starting today, you're the test pilot
    for a new proof of concept.
[17:01] Shirogane
    I'm... a test pilot?
[17:04] Shirogane
    That's awesome! Aren't test pilots
    supposed to be super elites?!
[17:08] Yuuko
    Don't get too happy with yourself.
[17:10] Yuuko
    Do you really think we can find another
    pilot with ridiculous moves like yours?
[17:16] Yuuko
    Come on. That was a compliment.

    I know this is sudden,
[18:23] ---

[18:29] Marimo
    What is it, Shirogane?
[18:31] Shirogane
    The undersecretary's inspection is...
[18:33] Shirogane
    T-Tomorrow?!
[18:35] Marimo
    We were previously going
    to move up your training
[18:38] ---
    and begin combat exercises
    in the city ruins...
[18:41] Marimo
    But this is non-negotiable.
[18:43] Marimo
    You're all to be on standby
    inside the base tomorrow.
[18:45] Marimo
    That is all.
[18:46] Sakaki
    Salute!
[18:53] Shirogane
    This can't be right.
[18:54] Shirogane
    The undersecretary was supposed to visit
    after we had started combat exercises!
[18:59] Shirogane
    I didn't expect the future to change like this!
[19:03] Shirogane
    If the he's coming to the base,
     then it's coming, too.
[19:09] Shirogane
    The HSST is going to fall!
[19:17] Yuuko
    Really? Well, that should
    prove to be quite the show.
[19:20] Shirogane
    You realize this affects you too, right?!
[19:23] Shirogane
    If this isn't dealt with the right way,
    there's no telling what could happen!
[19:26] Shirogane
    The entire base could be blown away!
[19:31] Shirogane
    The future's finally starting to change...
[19:34] Shirogane
    But this happens tomorrow!
[19:37] Yuuko
    Give it a rest already.
[19:39] Yuuko
    If we keep this from happening,
    it'd alter the future too much.
[19:42] Yuuko
    So we're not going to intervene.
[19:45] Shirogane
    You know what day it is, don't you?
[19:47] Shirogane
    The 27th of November!
[19:49] Shirogane
    There's less than a month left
    until Alternative V gets underway!
[19:56] Yuuko
    Fine. I'll deal with it.
[19:59] Shirogane
    Please do.
[20:01] Yuuko
    It's strange, though.
[20:03] ---
    Why are they getting so desperate?
[20:06] Shirogane
    I dunno... I never thought about it.
[20:09] Yuuko
    Well, it's probably as simple
    as Alternative V advocates
[20:12] ---
    running out of patience with
    how things never seem to improve.
[20:17] Yuuko
    I wonder if they want to bet it all on a
    suicide attack against Kaxgar or something?
[20:22] Shirogane
    Kaxgar is Target 01, right?
[20:25] Yuuko
    That's right. Its international
    designation is the "Original Hive."
[20:29] Yuuko
    The spot where the BETA
    first touched down on Earth.
[20:34] Shirogane
    Um... this map is only showing
    Hive locations, right?
[20:39] Yuuko
    That's right.
[20:41] Shirogane
    There are two BETA hives in Japan...
[20:45] Shirogane
    One's on Sadogashima.
[20:47] Shirogane
    And the other...
[20:50] Yuuko
    You probably know about it, right?
[20:52] Yuuko
    Back before the operation to retake Honshu,
     this area was BETA territory.
[20:58] Shirogane
    You mean... this location...
[21:00] Yuuko
    That's right. The Yokohama Base
     used to be a hive.
[21:06] Yuuko
    Some of the BETA's functions
    are still intact, too.
[21:09] Yuuko
    That's why it's showing up on the map.
[21:13] Shirogane
    The base we've been living on is a hive...
[21:19] Shirogane

    Yeah? Let's use this data for the trials, then.
[07:37] Takeru
    It's finally time?
[07:38] Yuuko
    We made it in time for the mock battle
    that's scheduled for tomorrow.
[07:40] Takeru
    I never thought we'd be
    implementing it so soon...

     Be sure to thank her.

     you drew in that sketchbook.
[08:02] Takeru
    Where had you seen it before?
     I've gotta know!
[08:05] Kasumi
    I haven't really seen it.
[08:08] Takeru
    So what did you base it on?
    Something you saw in a book?
[08:16] Takeru
    I guess I should head back,
    since the battle is tomorrow.
[08:20] Takeru
    The last time I did this,
[08:22] ---
    we got our butts kicked because the
    two of them wouldn't stop bickering.
[08:26] Takeru

[08:28] ---
    I've got a request.

    want you to install the new OS
[08:34] ---
    in Sakaki and Ayamine's TSFs, too.
[08:37] Yuuko
    Why?
[08:39] Takeru
    It should help compress another
    five days' worth of training.
[08:44] Yuuko
    Listen, all of this TSF stuff
    is just a side project for me.
[08:48] Yuuko
    An excuse to try out the practical
    application of a certain theory of mine.
[08:52] Takeru

[08:55] Yuuko
    My real job is wrestling with a theory
    that's so complicated, you could never understand it.
[09:00] Takeru
    For Alternative IV...
[09:02] Takeru
    Does this have to do with the gizmo
[09:03] ---
    that needs fifteen billion
    parallel computing circuits?
[09:06] Yuuko
    A little knowledge and he thinks he's clever.
[09:08] Yuuko
    Yeah, that's it. This has been an
    experiment to help with Alternative IV.
[09:12] Yuuko
    And you can take it from here.
[09:14] Takeru
    Wait, how far along is the project, anyway?!
     Are you gonna make it in time?!
[09:18] Yuuko
    Get out.
[09:19] Takeru
    Quit trying to brush me off!
[09:21] Yuuko
    I said to get the hell out!
[09:26] Takeru
    Sensei, this is the second time
    I've seen you like this...
[09:30] Takeru
    The first was when you were depressed after
     Alternative IV failed in the other world.
[09:33] Takeru
    Aren't you a genius, Sensei?
[09:36] Yuuko
    Would you shut up already?!
[09:39] Yuuko
    I am a genius!
[09:42] Yuuko
    Which makes it worse...
[09:45] Takeru
    I'm sorry.

    I guess I'm the one
    who's trying to rush things.
[09:52] Takeru
    Wait, I recognize this.
[09:53] ---
    In my original world, you crossed it out and
    then started writing this weird formula.
[09:58] (Flashback) Yuuko

    playing a video game!
[10:02] (Flashback) Yuuko
    This entire school of thought is outdated!
[10:04] Yuuko
    What?
[10:06] Yuuko
    But that's the fundamental basis of the
    parallel-processing system I'm researching.
[10:09] Yuuko
    You're saying I came up with a new formula?
[10:12] Yuuko
    I must've had it! A more viable theory....
[10:17] Yuuko
    Give it to me!
[10:18] Yuuko
    Remember the formula now!
[10:20] Takeru
    Uh, I...
[10:21] Yuuko
    It can be in bits and pieces, but I need it!
[10:23] Takeru
    I can't! I had no idea what
    I was even looking at!
[10:27] Yuuko
    You don't need to understand it!
[10:28] Takeru
    You're the one who thought it up!
[10:30] Takeru
    Why don't you ask yourself
    from the other world?!
[10:34] Yuuko
    Right... that makes sense.
[10:37] Yuuko
    I can't believe I got worked up like that.
[10:40] Takeru
    Sensei?
[10:40] Yuuko
    Fine, I'll do it.

    You wanted the OS for
    Sakaki and Ayamine, right?

[11:13] (Flashback) Sumika
    I'm not a bad girl! I just wanted
    to say thank you to Santa!
[11:21] (Flashback) Takeru
    Quit crying!
[11:22] (Flashback) Sumika
    But... But...
[11:25] (Flashback) Takeru
    Aw, man...
[11:29] (Flashback) Takeru
    Here, this! You can have it, so quit crying!
[11:32] (Flashback) Sumika
    What is it?
[11:33] (Flashback) Takeru
    Santa gave it to me,
    along with the game I wanted.
[11:35] (Flashback) Takeru
    Everyone who has one of
    these dolls is a good kid!
[11:40] (Flashback) Sumika
    Then if I have this, Santa will come back?
[11:44] (Flashback) Takeru
    He will!
[11:46] (Flashback) Sumika
    Really?!
[11:47] (Flashback) Takeru
    Y-You bet!
[11:50] Takeru
    She's really so...
[11:56] Takeru
    Good morning, Kasumi.
[11:59] Kasumi
    Bye-bye.
[12:01] Takeru
    Yeah...
[12:03] Takeru
    Today's the mock battle.
    Better make sure it works out.
SIGN    November 29th: Dawn, The Gymnasium
[12:09] Meiya
    Fast, with no hesitation before moving...
[12:12] Meiya
    But that only applies to Takeru.
[12:14] Meiya
    Movement reliant on speed is something
[12:16] ---
    I've dealt with when training
    with a sword before.
[12:18] Meiya
    To say nothing of the strain that
    moving so quickly must cause...
[12:24] Meiya
    I can win this.
[12:35] Yuuko
    Just keeping my eyes open is a pain...
[12:37] Marimo
    Hey, Yuuko. Were you up all night?
[12:40] Yuuko
    I can't even remember the
    last time I got any sleep.
[12:42] Marimo
    So are you up to something again?
[12:45] Yuuko
    How are you splitting the
    teams for the combat exercise?
[12:48] Marimo
    It's Sakaki, Ayamine, and Shirogane
    against Mitsurugi, Tamase, and Yoroi.
[12:53] Yuuko
    Well, that explains it.
[12:54] Yuuko
    I'm going to monitor Sakaki's element, then.
[12:57] Marimo
    Hang on!
[12:58] Marimo
    You can't just make that call out of nowhere!
[13:00] Marimo
    You already changed the condition
    for victory to total annihilation!
[13:03] Marimo
    Anything more is—
[13:03] Yuuko
    It'll be fine. Trust me.
[13:13] Takeru
    Unit exterior is clear.
    Safety measures confirmed.
[13:16] Takeru
    Checklist points 1 through 88 are good to go.
[13:19] Takeru
    Main power online. Now loading
    movement control systems.
[13:23] Sakaki
    The control screen...
[13:25] Ayamine
    It's different?
[13:26] Takeru
    All systems green. Opening hangar locks.
[13:29] Takeru
    Lift-off.
[13:34] Sakaki
    Springing a new OS like this on us...
[13:37] Yuuko
    Don't you worry. It'll be fine.
[13:39] ---
    I say this with no exaggeration, in total
    seriousness: It's designed for ease of use.
[13:44] Takeru
    That's right.
[13:45] Takeru
    And the basic controls aren't any
    different from before, either.
[13:48] Ayamine
    Is it gonna be any good, though?
[13:50] Takeru
    You're really gonna ask that in front
    of the person who designed it?!
[13:55] Yuuko
    Oh, I don't mind at all.
[13:57] Yuuko
    The moment that skepticism
    turns into shock...
[14:01] Yuuko
    It's delicious.
[14:04] Yuuko
    Make sure to win, so we can demonstrate
    the effectiveness of the new OS.
[14:11] Sakaki
    I'm a little nervous,
    but we'll just have to trust it.
[14:14] Sakaki
    Come on, you two.
[14:18] Sakaki
    Gonna crash—
[14:22] Sakaki
    Wha...
[14:24] Sakaki
    What the hell?!
[14:27] Mikoto
    I've got a hit on the radar.
[14:29] Mikoto
    At point C-5.
[14:31] Mikoto
    One unit is out in the open...
[14:32] Mikoto
    And way up in the air, too.
[14:34] Sakaki
    The controls are way too sensitive!
[14:39] Takeru
    The boost in response time will
    make some crazy moves possible.
[14:40] Takeru
    The boost in response time will
    make some crazy moves possible.
[14:42] Takeru
    Try and get used to it, quick!
[14:44] Ayamine
    Yeah, that sounds easy...
[14:47] Meiya
    I'm not sure what they're
    hoping to accomplish,
[14:49] ---
    but based on those maneuvers,
    we can assume that was 06.
[14:52] Meiya
    Shirogane's machine.
    We'll move ahead with the plan.
[14:58] Meiya
    Tamase, hold to your fixed position.
[15:00] Tama
    05, copy that.
[15:02] Meiya
    Don't let Shirogane's maneuvers confuse you.
[15:05] Meiya
    We have better teamwork and coordination.
[15:09] Meiya
    With me, Yoroi!
[15:11] Mikoto
    03, copy that!
[15:14] Takeru
    Radar has a hit at 14:00!
[15:16] Sakaki
    Lure them in the opposite direction.
[15:18] Other Two
    Roger.
[15:23] Ayamine
    04 here, I've made contact.
[15:25] Sakaki
    01, copy that. 04, 06, work together to
    push the target onto the wider street.
[15:30] Ayamine
    04, I'm on it.
[15:33] Takeru
    Keep pulling back. I'll be there to cover you.
[15:38] Takeru
    Get clear, 04!
[15:39] Sakaki
    The other unit is at 21:00!
[15:44] Sakaki
    Why are only two of them here?
[15:46] Sakaki
    Where's the other?
[15:47] Takeru
    Considering Tama's sharpshooter skills...
[15:51] Takeru
    She'll be taking aim from a distance.
[15:53] Tama
    Sakaki-san and Ayamine-san aren't
    moving the way they normally do.
[15:56] Tama
    But once they're in my sights...
[16:02] Tama
    We'll win!
[16:04] Sakaki
    Let's pincer her!
[16:07] Sakaki
    04, 06, get her attention!
[16:10] Takeru
    I bet you think we're falling for
    your plan, but you're wrong there!
[16:14] Takeru
    Sorry, but I already know what you're after!
[16:17] Takeru
    Time to show what the new OS can do!
[16:21] Tama
    Bingo!
[16:22] Takeru
    Class Rep!
[16:23] Takeru
    Defensive split!
[16:28] Tama
    I missed?!
[16:33] Meiya
    That's Shirogane's unit?
[16:37] Meiya
    Then the one we were targeting...
[16:39] Takeru
    Class Rep, Ayamine, you all right?!
[16:41] Sakaki
    01 here, no damage.
[16:43] Ayamine
    I've spotted Tamase.
[16:45] Takeru
    Same here.
[16:46] Takeru
    I'll keep her occupied!
[16:47] Sakaki
    Copy that.
[16:48] Sakaki
    We'll deal with Mitsurugi and Yoroi.
[16:50] Sakaki
    Let's go, 04.
[16:51] Ayamine
    Roger.
[16:52] Tamase
    I lost him?
[16:53] Tamase
    Where did he...
[16:56] Tamase
    No way! Am I surrounded?
[17:01] Tamase
    You... I'll get you!
[17:09] Marimo
    Hit to Tamase's power supply
    and lower limbs confirmed.
[17:12] Marimo
    Fatal damage sustained! She's down.
[17:16] Takeru
    Got her!
[17:17] Takeru
    You were too focused on the fire coming
    from the other direction, Tama.
[17:22] Mikoto
    These moves... It's like
    I'm fighting Takeru!
[17:26] Sakaki
    You're too far out in front, Ayamine!
[17:36] Mikoto
    You can shoot from that position?!
[17:39] Marimo
    Yoroi's right arm is gone, along
    with damage to the left leg.
[17:42] Marimo
    Fatal damage resulting in system shutdown.
[17:46] Sakaki
    Don't you think that was a little dangerous?!
[17:48] Ayamine
    You're just a step too slow.
[17:49] Takeru
    You guys, Meiya is still out there!
[17:53] Takeru
    Come on!
[17:55] Meiya
    How are the other units capable
    of that kind of reaction time?
[17:59] Meiya
    Still, if I can anticipate their
    moves and act before they do...
[18:02] Meiya
    It won't matter how fast they are.
[18:11] Sakaki
    01, contact!
[18:18] Meiya
    An opening!
[18:18] Meiya
    I have you now, Sakaki!
[18:24] Takeru
    Class Rep! Evade!
[18:29] Meiya
    What?!
[18:30] Sakaki
    Now!
[18:32] Sakaki
    Shoot her!
[18:42] Marimo
    Mitsurugi's unit has taken fire to the engine,
    resulting in fatal damage. She's down.
[18:47] Meiya
    This can't be... How?
[18:51] Sakaki
    We... We won?
[18:54] Yuuko
    Let's hear that status report, 01.
[19:00] Sakaki
    This is Sakaki Element. Mission complete.
[19:02] Marimo
    Exercise complete.
[19:04] ---
    All units, return to your starting positions.
[19:11] Meiya
    Takeru! What is the meaning of this?!
[19:15] Takeru
    Wh-What do you mean?
[19:16] Meiya
    What sort of trick did
    you pull with the TSFs?
[19:19] Meiya
    I'd expect those maneuvers from you,
     but your entire team...
[19:22] Mikoto
    It doesn't make any sense! For all three
    of you to be able to zip around like that...
[19:26] Tama
    The assistance from accumulated
    data wasn't able to keep up!
[19:29] Takeru
    Well, you see...
[19:30] Yuuko
    If you're really that shocked,
    I'd say it was a huge success.
[19:33] Yuuko
    Sakaki's team had a new proof of
    concept installed in their TSFs.
[19:37] Meiya
    A new OS?
[19:39] Yuuko
    You're all familiar with
    Shirogane's freaky moves, right?
[19:42] Yuuko
    What you saw today is the culmination
    of what he's been doing.
[19:45] Yuuko
    It's what he's been trying to do all along.
[19:48] Mikoto
    Say what?!
[19:49] Yuuko
    Issues with the control systems
    kept these maneuvers from being possible...
[19:52] Yuuko
    But with the new OS, the chains are off.
[19:55] Meiya
    That's remarkable...
[19:57] ---
    Those were the movements you've been
    picturing this entire time?
[20:02] Marimo
    XO, why is this the first time
    I'm hearing about any of this?
[20:06] Yuuko
    Oh, did I forget to mention it?
[20:08] Marimo
    Completely.
[20:10] Yuuko
    Come on. We're not going to get
    anywhere if we sweat all the details.
[20:13] Yuuko
    And once we're able to feed the data
    we've gotten back into the system...
[20:15] Yuuko
    The TSFs are only going to get smarter.
[20:18] Yuuko
    The more samples, the better,
[20:21] ---
    so let's install the new OS on
    all of the 207th's machines.
[20:25] Yuuko
    Which means that, starting today,
[20:27] ---
    this is now a next-gen OS
    development test flight.
[20:31] Marimo
    You can't make that call! It could
    effect the greater UN military—
[20:35] Yuuko
    Oh, I'm not ready to share
    my new toy just yet.
[20:39] Yuuko
    This is all part of my research.
[20:43] Yuuko
    Do you understand what I'm saying?
[20:45] Marimo
    Right.
[20:46] Yuuko
    I'm going to update the OS
    in the simulators, too,
[20:48] ---
    so play around with it when you get a chance.
[20:50] Yuuko
    The direction this heads in going
    forward will depend on you all.
[20:53] Yuuko
    I'm counting on you.
[20:56] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[21:02] Takeru
    Kasumi?
[21:06] Takeru
    Hey, Kasumi...
[21:08] Takeru
    Kasumi? Are you in here?
[21:10] Yoroi
    If you're looking for the professor,
    she's in the command center.
[21:14] Yoroi
    It's a pleasure.
[21:18] Yoroi
    That said, I will admit I'm a little
    shocked to actually see you here,
[21:23] Yoroi
    Shirogane Takeru-kun.

    It's a pleasure to meet you,

[00:14] Takeru
    Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow...
[00:16] Yoroi
    This is convincing if it's artificial.
[00:19] Yoroi
    Someone does fine work.
[00:22] Takeru
    This isn't a joke!
[00:24] Yoroi
    And yet it's funny.
[00:25] Takeru
    What is your deal?!
[00:26] Takeru
    He was on me before I knew it.
[00:29] Yoroi
    It really is you, isn't it?
[00:35] Yoroi
    There's no need for such caution,

[00:45] Takeru
    Who the hell is this guy?
[00:48] Yuuko
    Exactly what are you doing in my office?
[00:52] Yuuko
    Does the Imperial Ministry of Intelligence
    have no sense of decorum?
[00:55] Yuuko
    Or do you have an appointment
    I wasn't told about?
[00:59] Takeru
    The Imperial Ministry of Intelligence?!
[01:01] Takeru
    Then this guy's a spy?
[01:05] Yoroi
    I just thought I'd introduce
    myself to the boy, that's all.
[01:09] Yoroi
    I'm with the Imperial Ministry of Intelligence's
     2nd Foreign Affairs Division,
[01:13] Yoroi
    and my name is Yoroi Sakon.

SIGN    Transfer Experiment
[02:49] Yoroi
    I hear you take good care of my son.
[02:52] Takeru
    Son?
[02:54] Yoroi
    Well, more like a tomboy of a daughter.
[02:57] Yoroi
    My apologies.
[03:00] Takeru
    This guy just says whatever he wants...
[03:01] Takeru
    Which makes me pretty
    sure he is Mikoto's dad.
[03:10] Mikoto
    All right, it worked!
[03:13] Mikoto
    There we go...
[03:15] Mikoto
    Synthetic food doesn't provide everything
    a growing body needs, after all.
[03:21] Mikoto
    Who's that?
[03:28] Mikoto
    Kei-san?
[03:32] Yuuko
    So, what brings you by this time?
[03:35] Yoroi
    Some news regarding the XG-70s.
[03:38] Yuuko
    Why would there be news at this point?
[03:39] Yuuko
    I'm still getting all of them, right?
[03:42] Yoroi
    It's not looking quite so simple anymore.
[03:45] Yuuko
    And what do you mean by that?
[03:47] Yoroi
    Certain factions within the imperial military
     have been making some ominous moves lately.
[03:53] Yoroi
    You're aware of the formation of a
    so-called "Strategic Studies Group"?
[03:58] Yuuko
    Can't say that I care.
[03:59] Yoroi
    You're smart enough to
    realize that you should.
[04:04] Yoroi
    If they were to take action,
[04:07] Yoroi
    it would create a political and
    military power vacuum in Japan.
[04:11] Yoroi
    What do you suppose a certain country,
[04:14] ---
    the anti-Alternative forces,
[04:16] ---
    and other oppositional factions
    within the UN will do, then?
[04:20] Yoroi
    It only stands to reason that the plans
    for the XG-70s would be affected...
[04:25] Yoroi
    To say nothing of your broader agenda.
[04:29] Yuuko
    I'm convinced. Can we get to the point, now?
[04:33] Yoroi
    Well, there was recently a top-priority
    order that came through...
[04:38] ---
    an alternate chain of command.
[04:40] Yoroi
    Directed at the North American HQ
     for the UN Space Force.
[04:45] Yoroi
    Can you imagine how troubling that must be?
[04:47] ---
    Being asked to keep an eye out
    for one of your own HSSTs?
[04:51] Yoroi
    On top of specific coordinates to watch?
[04:54] Yoroi
    It made for a panicked day
    at Edwards, I tell you.
[04:58] Yoroi
    Even if it wasn't under their purview anymore,
     I can understand the reluctance.
[05:02] Yoroi
    Then there's the BETA
    landing from the other day.
[05:05] Yoroi
    How were those units in the
    perfect place to respond?
[05:09] Yuuko
    Beats me. Ask the person who gave the order.
[05:13] Yoroi
    And then there's our
    resident living dead man.
[05:17] Yoroi
    Divine intervention or devilish deception?
[05:20] Yoroi
    Those are the two possibilities I can think of,
[05:23] Yoroi
    but I'd love to hear an actual explanation.
[05:29] Yuuko
    Are you sure that's what
    you're actually here for?
[05:32] Yuuko
    Besides, can't you figure it out yourself?
[05:34] Yuuko
    That is your job, isn't it?
[05:37] Yoroi
    Well, now my ears are burning.
[05:39] Yoroi
    I suppose I'll have to investigate
    things the old-fashioned way for a bit.
[05:45] Yoroi
    Shirogane Takeru-kun, we'll meet again.
[05:58] Takeru
    Mikoto's dad...
[06:01] Takeru
    I never met him in the last world.
[06:05] Takeru
    That means things are
    starting to change, right?
[06:13] (Flashback) Takeru
    Okay, first person to scream
    has to pay for lunch, got it?
[06:18] (Flashback) Sumika
    Thanks in advance!
[06:24] Takeru
    Another dream about Sumika...
[06:29] Takeru
    Maybe I'm...
[06:32] Yuuko
    And these dreams have been
    happening frequently?
[06:35] Takeru
    I wouldn't say that, but every
    now and then, since the CCSE.
[06:44] Yuuko
    Good timing, actually. Let's take a look.
[06:46] Takeru
    Take a look... at my dreams?
[06:49] Yuuko
    Did you forget that you're
    a drifter from another world?
[06:53] Yuuko
    If this involves that world,
    then it's worth examining.
[06:57] Shirogane
    But how?
[07:00] Yuuko
    All you need to do is go to sleep.
[07:08] Yuuko
    Okay, let's get started.
[07:10] Yuuko
    Yashiro.
[07:19] (Flashback) Takeru
    Where am I?
[07:20] (Flashback) Sumika
    Takeru-chan, wake up!
[07:23] (Flashback) Sumika
    It's already morning! You're gonna be late!
[07:28] (Flashback) Sumika
    Takeru-chan!
[07:34] Yuuko
    How'd it go?
[07:35] Takeru
    Well, I did dream...
[07:37] Yuuko
    Was that really all it was?
[07:40] Yuuko
    While you were dreaming,
[07:43] ---
    I'm pretty sure that Shirogane Takeru
    returned to his original world.
[07:48] Takeru
    What, did I disappear or something?!
[07:51] Yuuko
    You didn't...
[07:53] Yuuko
    But at a certain point,
    we couldn't track your brainwaves.
[07:56] Takeru
    Are you saying—
[07:57] Yuuko
    You still had other life signs, of course.
[08:01] Takeru
    How was I able to go back?
[08:05] Yuuko
    You're extraordinary as it is.
[08:07] Yuuko
    The idea of a lapse in consciousness
[08:09] ---
    resulting in a slip between
    worlds isn't that strange.
[08:14] Takeru
    It can't be!
[08:15] Yuuko
    You know the truth better than anyone else.
[08:20] Takeru
    I can't go back home now...
[08:23] Takeru
    I have to save this world!
[08:25] Yuuko
    I think the issue might have something to do
    with the equilibrium between the two worlds.
[08:32] Yuuko
    You remaining anchored in this world
    is tied to your cognizance of it,
[08:37] ---
    and other people's cognizance of you.
[08:39] Yuuko
    But your original world was destabilized
    with the removal of its Shirogane Takeru.
[08:46] Yuuko
    So it's trying to pull you back.
[08:49] Takeru
    It is?
[08:51] Yuuko
    And it's only effective
    when you're not conscious.
[08:54] Yuuko
    Granted, this is all a theory.
[08:57] Takeru
    So if I wanted to go back to
    my old world badly enough...
[09:01] Yuuko
    I imagine your perception
    of your original world
[09:03] ---
    would be able to easily overwrite
    your recognition of this one.
[09:07] Yuuko
    Right now, it's never been
    easier for you to go home.
[09:13] Takeru
    I can go back?
[09:15] Takeru
    To the peaceful world I came from?
[09:19] Takeru
    Not yet.
[09:21] Takeru
    I have something left to do in this world!
[09:25] Takeru
    I never want to feel that way again!
[09:30] Yuuko
    Well, we're going to need to send you back
    temporarily to accomplish that, anyway.
[09:37] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
[09:39] Yuuko
    If this experiment works, it should
    help stabilize your condition, too.
[09:44] Yuuko
    I need you to retrieve those
    formulas I came up with.
[09:48] Yuuko
    That being the case, you and
    Yashiro are roommates now.
[09:59] Takeru
    What the hell is she thinking?
[10:02] Takeru
    I mean, yeah,
[10:04] ---
    getting those formulas might mean a
    bunch of progress on Alternative IV...
[10:07] Takeru
    Which will result in me
    going back to my old world.
[10:11] Takeru
    But what's Kasumi got to do with that?
[10:29] Meiya
    It's rare to see Yashiro eating in the PX.
[10:33] Takeru
    Yeah, it's a whole thing.
[10:37] Kasumi
    Here.
[10:39] Kasumi
    Say, "Ahh..."
[10:42] (Flashback) Sumika
    Say, "Ahh!"
[10:47] Sakaki
    Shirogane...
[10:50] Sakaki
    What is with you?
[10:52] Mikoto
    She's feeding you?! Seriously?!
[10:52] Meiya
    You and Yashiro seem to have grown
    quite intimate in short order.
[10:54] Tama
    She is! She's really feeding him!
[10:58] Kasumi
    Did I do it wrong?
[11:00] Takeru
    N-Not technically, no.
[11:04] Meiya
    I hate to interrupt this delightful
    little meal, but how about an explanation?
[11:10] Takeru
    N-Now hang on!
[11:11] Takeru
    You guys are clearly misinterpreting this—
[11:14] Takeru
    No! Make it stop!
[11:20] Kasumi
    I guess I did it wrong?
SIGN    December 1st, 2001
[11:23] Yuuko
    For you to return to your original world,
    you need a strong desire to go back,
[11:28] Yuuko
    everyone around you needs to
    lose track of your existence,
[11:31] Yuuko
    and your old world's pull on
    you needs to become stronger.
[11:34] Yuuko
    These are the three factors
    we need to address.
[11:39] Yuuko
    This machine was built to restore you
[11:41] ---
    to the state you were in before
    this world recognized you,
[11:44] Yuuko
    which should let you travel between worlds.
[11:47] Takeru
    And it's safe?
[11:49] Yuuko
    You won't die or anything.
[11:56] Takeru
    What's Kasumi doing?
[11:57] Takeru
    Does it have something to do with
    why we've been living together?
[12:01] Yuuko
    Until this experiment succeeds,
    you're going to remain in flux.
[12:06] Yuuko
    Yashiro's job is to keep you
    anchored here in the meantime.
[12:11] Yuuko
    All right, let's get started.
[12:19] Takeru
    I guess I have to do this!
[12:27] Takeru
    What's she...
[12:29] Kasumi
    Ready.
[12:30] Yuuko
    Okay, you need to clearly
    imagine yourself in your old world!
[12:34] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[12:45] Takeru
    My old world.
[12:46] Takeru
    My old... world...
[13:05] Takeru
    S-S-Sumika?!
[13:09] Takeru
    It's her!
[13:11] Takeru
    It's really Sumika!
[13:13] ---
    She's moving! And talking!
[13:16] Takeru
    Sumika, it's me!
[13:18] Takeru
    You really oughta lock the door
    when you use the bathroom, okay?
[13:22] Takeru
    Huh?
[13:23] Takeru
    Otherwise, you're just asking
    for this kind of thing to happen.
[13:24] Takeru
    What is this?!
[13:27] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, you jerk!
[13:40] Yuuko
    Would you please take this seriously?!
[13:44] Takeru
    It worked! I was back in my world!
[13:47] Yuuko
    Of course you were!
[13:49] Yuuko
    How did it go?
[13:52] Takeru
    I couldn't actually do anything.
[13:54] Takeru
    I tried to talk, but different words came out.
[13:57] Takeru
    And Sumika didn't react.
[14:00] Yuuko
    You weren't able to actually interfere
    with the other side's events...
[14:03] Yuuko
    You must not have fully materialized.
[14:08] Takeru
    Right in the face...
[14:11] Takeru
    She never changes.
[14:14] Takeru
    Sumika...
[14:19] Takeru
    Kasumi?!
[14:22] Takeru
    What's wrong ?!
[14:24] Takeru
    Hey! You okay?!
[14:26] Yuuko
    I told her to sit down.
[14:29] Takeru
    Is she—
[14:30] Yuuko
    Her job requires an enormous
    amount of focus and stamina.
[14:33] Yuuko
    I can't say any more just yet.
[14:36] Yuuko
    I think we're done for today.
[14:39] Takeru
    Right.
[14:43] Takeru
    I'm sorry, Kasumi.
[14:50] Takeru
    You collapsed... Got so worn out...
[14:53] Takeru
    And I had no idea.
SIGN    December 2nd, 2001
[15:09] Yuuko
    Morning...
[15:10] Yuuko
    I've done everything I can.
[15:14] Yuuko
    You've got one shot to pull this off.
[15:19] Takeru
    I understand. I'll keep that
    in mind, and try my best.
[15:22] Yuuko
    "Try" your best?
[15:24] Yuuko
    If you're going to take that
    kind of half-assed attitude,
[15:26] ---
    I'll just break the entire machine down!
[15:29] Yuuko
    This thing takes an inordinate amount
    of electricity to use, all right?!
[15:33] Yuuko
    These experiments cannot drag out any longer!
[15:36] Yuuko
    People who come up with excuses to fail
    are never going to accomplish anything!
[15:41] Yuuko
    No one cares how hard you try!
[15:44] Yuuko
    You have to dive in, head first,
    dead-set on getting the job done
[15:47] ---
    to make any real progress!
[15:49] Yuuko
    I thought you wanted to
    save all of humanity?!
[15:53] Takeru
    Sensei... I remember now.
[15:57] Takeru
    I know what I need to do.
[15:59] Takeru
    Save this world!
[16:01] Takeru
    Then, one day, when this nightmare
    is over, I'm going back to my world!
[16:09] Yuuko
    Take this with you.
[16:11] Takeru
    What is it?
[16:12] Yuuko
    Hand it to the other me,
    and explain what's going on.
[16:16] Yuuko
    She should believe you once
    she sees what's inside.
[16:20] Yuuko
    Too much interference with the
    other world is asking for trouble.
[16:25] Yuuko
    You should avoid contact
    with anyone other than me.
[16:28] Yuuko
    Understood?
[16:30] Takeru
    Got it!
[16:33] Mikoto
    Miki-san, could you hand me a torque wrench?
[16:36] Tama
    Okay!
[16:38] Tama
    The power's out?
[16:39] Mikoto
    Huh?
[16:44] Yuuko
    Are you ready, Shirogane?
[16:47] Takeru
    Yeah!
[16:48] Takeru
    Three years ago. The world I used to live in.
[16:51] Kasumi
    Power from sources one
    through four are stable.
[16:55] Yuuko
    It's not enough power.
[16:57] Yuuko
    Yashiro, bring five and six online, too.
[16:59] Kasumi
    Right.
[16:59] Yuuko
    If you can get those formulas,
    I'll be able to finish the 00-Unit!
[17:04] Yuuko
    Once that's done...
[17:06] Takeru
    I have to remember. This was a school!
[17:09] Takeru
    We all went here.
[17:12] Takeru
    Sumika was by my side, and I never even
    considered being separated from her.
[17:16] Takeru
    I finally remember!
[17:20] Takeru
    I want to go back to my world.
[17:23] Takeru
    And I want to see Sumika again!
[17:41] Takeru
    The town's intact.
[17:44] Takeru
    My legs... My hands...
[17:49] Takeru
    I'm here!
[17:53] Takeru
    I'm back in my old world!
[17:56] Takeru
    This is awesome, Yuuko-sensei!
[18:00] Takeru
    Huh...
[18:01] ---
    Should I really... be crying like this?
[18:05] Takeru
    I'm home!
[18:06] Takeru
    I'm back home!
[18:20] Takeru
    There's no time for getting lost in thought.
[18:22] ---
    I need to find Yuuko-sensei!
[18:23] Takeru
    Or this will have been a waste.
[18:27] Takeru
    Yuuko-sensei!
[18:29] Yuuko
    Huh?
[18:30] Yuuko
    This is a rare treat. What brings you by?
[18:33] Takeru
    It's really important!
[18:34] Yuuko
    If you want to beg for
    test answers, save your breath.
[18:37] Yuuko
    I heard about how you forgot
    your homework... again.
[18:39] Takeru
    I need you to take this seriously!
[18:42] Takeru
    There's no time!
[18:44] Yuuko
    That... is you, isn't it, Shirogane?
[18:52] Yuuko
    I see.
[18:54] Takeru
    I know this is probably
    all hard to believe.
[19:04] Yuuko
    Fantastic!
[19:06] Yuuko
    This is just fantastic, Shirogane!
[19:08] Yuuko
    This means my Quantum Causality Theory
     was right all along!
[19:13] Yuuko
    Man, I love being a genius!
[19:19] Yuuko
    It's been a while.
[19:21] Yuuko
    That's probably the thing to say, right?
[19:24] Takeru
    Sensei...
[19:26] Yuuko
    How long has it been since
    you were in this world?
[19:28] Takeru
    Well, from my subjective experience,
     about three years.
[19:32] Yuuko
    "Subjective experience," he says!
[19:36] Yuuko
    Still, that's long enough for
    someone to change, I guess.
[19:40] Yuuko
    Shirogane...
[19:42] Yuuko
    Do you miss this world?
[19:44] Takeru
    Yes.
[19:47] Yuuko
    Do you want to see Kagami and the others?
[19:51] Takeru
    Yes!
[19:53] Yuuko
    Then you need to tackle what you're trying
    to do with a strong sense of purpose.
[19:57] Yuuko
    To get what you want, you'll need
    to dedicate everything you have.
[20:01] Yuuko
    You're an entity that can travel between
    worlds through force of will.
[20:04] Yuuko
    That means you can change those worlds.
[20:07] Takeru
    But... I've never really gone
    between worlds on my own before.
[20:11] Yuuko
    What you're capable of going forward,
    and what's going to happen,
[20:15] ---
    are going to depend on what
    you want, and what you do.
[20:18] Yuuko
    You need to remember the weight of
    the responsibility you're carrying.
[20:22] Takeru
    Right.
[20:25] Yuuko
    As for the formulas you need,
     give me three days.
[20:28] Takeru
    Understood. Um, what day is it today, anyway?
[20:32] Yuuko
    November 26th.
[20:34] Takeru
    I'll be back for them, then.
[20:40] Yuuko
    Hey.
[20:42] Yuuko
    Salute for me, real quick.
[20:45] Yuuko
    You don't wanna?
[20:48] Takeru
    Not a problem.
[20:55] Takeru
    Excuse me, ma'am.
[21:02] Yuuko
    He looks like the real deal.
[21:06] Yuuko
    This is probably what makes
    being a teacher worth it.
[21:09] Yuuko
    I wish Marimo could've seen him.
[21:12] Yuuko
    A person who's become unbound
    from the laws of his world...
[21:18] Yuuko
    He's turned out to be a pretty big deal.

[04:36] Takeru
    I made the delivery. In three days...

[04:47] Takeru
    Thank goodness.
[04:50] Takeru
    Sensei!
[04:51] Yuuko
    Yashiro is critical to the
    completion of Alternative IV.
[04:56] Takeru
    She is?
[04:59] Yuuko
    Originally, the Alternative Plan was intended
[05:01] ---
    to establish a means of
    communication with the BETA.
[05:07] Yuuko
    In 1958, when extraterrestrial
    life was discovered on Mars,
[05:11] ---
    it was evident that it had the
    technology for interplanetary travel.
[05:17] Yuuko
    Humanity assembled a group of zoologists,
    linguists, mathematicians...
[05:21] Yuuko
    along with cryptographers provided by
    intelligence agencies from around the world
[05:25] ---
    in order to devise a way to communicate.
[05:29] Yuuko
    But they couldn't prove that
    any language was being used,
[05:32] ---
    much less figure it out,
    before the plan was scrapped.
SIGN    1967
    The Sacrobosco Incident
[05:44] Yuuko
    Then came an encounter with the BETA
    while exploring the lunar surface.
[05:54] Yuuko
    Alternative II was launched in 1968,
[05:57] ---
    with the objective of finding a way
     to communicate with the BETA
[06:01] ---
    by capturing them and
    studying their physiology.
[06:04] Yuuko
    All we learned from it is that the
    BETA were extremely well-adapted
[06:07] ---
    to even the most hostile environments,
[06:08] Yuuko
    and they seem to have no digestive
    or reproductive systems.
[06:13] Yuuko
    The idea that such a ridiculous species
[06:15] Yuuko
    were sophisticated enough
    to create advanced technology
[06:17] Yuuko
    and were within striking
    distance of Earth...
[06:19] ---
    It was enough to give humanity chills.
[06:23] Yuuko
    And then the BETA touched down in Kaxgar.
SIGN    1973
    Beginning of the BETA Invasion of Earth
[06:26] Yuuko
    That led to the creation of a third project.
[06:30] Yuuko
    Led by the Soviet Academy of Sciences,
[06:32] ---
    it was a plan to create artificially-engineered
     ESP-capable individuals
[06:35] ---
    that would be capable of
    reading BETA's thoughts.
[06:39] Yuuko
    That was Alternative III.
[06:42] Yuuko
    The Soviets had the strongest espers
    that they could find marry,
[06:46] ---
    in order to give birth to children
    with higher levels of perception.
[06:50] Yuuko
    Once they had subjects with particularly
    remarkable abilities, they were mass-produced,
[06:54] Yuuko
    and enhanced further by genetic engineering.
[06:56] Takeru
    Are you saying...
[06:58] Yuuko
    Yashiro Kasumi is one of the
    people created in such a fashion.
[07:02] Yuuko
    The ability to perceive thoughts as images and emotions as colors...
[07:07] Yuuko
    It's called "reading."
[07:09] Yuuko
    The espers then translate
    those sensations into words.
[07:13] Yuuko
    But they're not capable of
    reading a target without coming
[07:17] ---
    within a certain distance of them.
[07:19] Yuuko
    That led to a large number of these espers
    being assigned to Hive-breaching missions...
[07:24] Yuuko
    Their survival rate was 6%.
[07:27] ---
    The readings were successful, and we were
    able to prove that the BETA are sentient.
[07:31] Yuuko
    But the only thing we learned is
[07:33] ---
    that they don't consider
    humans to be a form of life.
[07:37] Yuuko
    Alternative III was cancelled
    before Yashiro was deployed,
[07:41] Yuuko
    and the plan moved to
    its fourth incarnation.
[07:44] Yuuko
    There's another type of
    ability called projection,
[07:46] Yuuko
    that involves transmitting your own
    thoughts and emotions as an image.
[07:49] Yuuko
    They attempted to transmit
    a message of peace to the BETA...
[07:53] Yuuko
    But it got no response at all.
[07:55] Yuuko
    Either they have no concept of peace,
    or they were ignoring it.
[07:59] Takeru
    Does that mean the war won't
    end until one side is wiped out?
[08:04] Yuuko
    The goal of Alternative IV
    is to complete the 00 Unit.
[08:08] Takeru
    The 00 Unit?
[08:10] Takeru
    And once that's finished, humanity can win?!
[08:12] Yuuko
    That's the whole point, yeah.
[08:14] Takeru
    What is it?
[08:15] Yuuko
    It'd be a waste of time explaining.
[08:17] Takeru
    Does that brain have something
    to do with the plan?!
[08:20] Yuuko
    You know...
[08:23] Takeru
    What is it?
[08:24] Yuuko
    You're more concerned about your
    own curiosity than
[08:27] ---
    how others might feel, aren't you?
[08:29] Takeru
    It doesn't matter where she came from!
    It doesn't change who Kasumi is!
[08:32] Yuuko
    Yashiro will be able to tell, you know?
[08:34] Takeru
    I-It's not like that! I just
    want to make sure humanity—
[08:38] Yuuko
    I would've thought you were completely
    delusional when you first showed up here...
[08:43] Yuuko
    If it hadn't been for her.
[08:46] Takeru
    Then me even being here is thanks to Kasumi?
[08:52] Yuuko
    Yashiro is particularly talented in being
    able to capture images from a subject.
[08:57] Yuuko
    Which is why she is crucial
    for this experiment.
[09:02] Yuuko
    If she had lost track of you,
[09:06] Yuuko
    you wouldn't have been
    able to make it back.
[09:08] Yuuko
    She was essentially your lifeline.
[09:12] Yuuko
    But being able to read those images expends
    an incredible amount of mental energy.
[09:17] Takeru
    Right...
[09:18] Yuuko
    Which is why we needed to intensify the
    mental link between the two of you.
[09:23] Takeru
    And that's why we've been
    living together, isn't it?
[09:27] Yuuko
    From a few seconds to a few hours...
[09:30] Yuuko
    She doesn't exactly have
    the skills of an artist.
[09:33] Yuuko
    But they're cute anyway, aren't they?
[09:36] Yuuko
    This must be the most efficient
    way for her to capture an image.
[09:40] Yuuko
    Yashiro was trying to keep an eye on you...
[09:44] Yuuko
    By leaving a record of
    Shirogane Takeru's existence.
[09:48] Takeru
    Thank you, Kasumi.
[09:54] Takeru
    Kasumi!
[10:05] Yuuko
    I'll take your report this afternoon.
[10:09] Yuuko
    Are you really this dense?
[10:11] Yuuko
    Yashiro is a girl, y'know?
[10:12] Yuuko
    And we've got three days until
    the formulas are ready,
[10:15] ---
    so you can have tomorrow off.
[10:18] Yuuko
    You're free to do whatever in the meantime!
[10:19] Yuuko
    So get your butt after her!
[10:21] Takeru
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[10:31] Takeru
    You didn't come back?
[10:35] Takeru
    I wanted to ask you something.
[10:40] Takeru
    You... have to know about Sumika, don't you?
[10:45] Takeru
    It's not just a coincidence that the two
    of you seem so similar at times, is it?
[10:52] Takeru
    I've remembered all about Sumika.
[10:56] Takeru
    When I ran into her in my old world,
    the memories came flooding back.
[11:04] Takeru
    If you've been able to catch a glimpse
    of the memories that I've forgotten...
[11:08] Takeru
    I'd like to know about them.
[11:10] Takeru
    The things that happened in my old world...
    and the one before this.
[11:15] Takeru
    All the important things
    I might have forgotten.
[11:20] Takeru
    Please, Kasumi.
[11:23] Officer A
    The preparations are complete.
[11:24] Officer B
    We should take the initiative
    while we still have it.
[11:28] Komaki
    I'm of the opinion that we should wait.
[11:31] Komaki
    There have been earthquakes tied to
    volcanic activity in the Chubu region,
[11:34] Komaki
    with the imperial military
    debating the aid response.
[11:38] Officer A
    The government's bound to
    force another evacuation.
[11:41] Officer B
    And the people continue to suffer.
[11:43] Officer A
    Still, it only underlines the
    righteousness of our cause.
[11:48] Sagiri
    They are beyond redemption at this point.
[11:55] Takeru
    Kasumi? You're back.
[11:58] Kasumi
    Yes.
[12:00] Takeru
    I see...
[12:03] Takeru
    Thanks.
[12:04] Kasumi
    I could tell.
[12:06] Kasumi
    But I was nervous.
[12:09] Takeru
    You can see what I'm thinking, right?
[12:13] Kasumi
    Yes.
[12:14] Takeru
    I see.
[12:19] Takeru
    Why don't we grab something to eat?
[12:22] Kasumi
    Yes.
[12:26] Takeru
    Why are you being so nice?
[12:28] Takeru
    Well, if you hurt someone's feelings,
    you'd want to apologize...
[12:32] Takeru
    And do what you could to
    make it up to them, right?
[12:37] Kyouzuka
    The two of you are always together lately!
[12:41] Takeru
    You've got weird ideas about it, don't you?
[12:43] Kyouzuka
    Can you blame me? Come on!
[12:45] Kasumi
    Say, "Ahh..."
[12:46] Takeru
    Kasumi, I don't think we should do that.
[12:48] Kasumi
    Do you not like it?
[12:51] (Flashback) Sumika
    Say, "Ahh!"
[12:53] Takeru
    It's not that.
[12:56] Takeru
    But... you don't have to do it.
[13:00] Kyouzuka
    So you're not running
    with the others lately?
[13:03] Takeru
    Yeah. I've got some time off.
[13:04] Kyouzuka
    Oh, is that it?
[13:07] Kyouzuka
    It might be nice to pop up to the roof
    and take in the scenery, then.
[13:13] Takeru
    The scenery...
[13:15] (Flashback) Takeru
    What's wrong?
[13:16] (Flashback) Takeru
    I've never seen the ocean before.
[13:20] Takeru
    You wanna go outside?
[13:30] Takeru
    Nice weather today!
[13:32] Takeru
    So, you've never been up here before?
[13:34] Kasumi
    Yes.
[13:34] Takeru
    I see.
[13:36] Takeru
    Well, this is the highest point
    we can get to freely around here.
[13:41] Takeru
    I know, how about some cat's cradle?
[13:43] Kasumi
    Cat's cradle?
[13:45] Takeru
    I made a promise to you in the last world.
[13:50] Takeru
    I'm not really great at it, but...
[13:55] Takeru
    Now you try.
[13:58] Takeru
    So first, you use your
    thumb and your pinky...
[14:02] Takeru
    See how it's on your middle finger?
[14:07] Takeru
    I guess you don't have the talent!
[14:11] Takeru
    That reminds me, I don't know
    where you slept yesterday.
[14:16] Takeru
    Did you manage to get some decent rest?
[14:19] Kasumi
    I'm okay.
[14:20] Takeru
    Well, don't overdo it, okay?
[14:22] Takeru
    Your job's pretty rough, right?
[14:24] Takeru
    Still, all we have to do
    is collect the formulas.
[14:27] Takeru
    And we need you to get it done!
[14:32] Kasumi
    You're not talented.
[14:34] Takeru
    Hang on! I was trying to...
[14:36] Takeru
    Do this!
[14:37] Takeru
    See? Use your middle finger,
    and then turn it around.
[14:45] Takeru
    Now try it again from the beginning.
[14:51] Takeru
    It's okay.
[14:52] ---
    Once you figure it out for yourself,
    you can get all kinds of shapes.
[14:57] Takeru
    So try and remember, okay?
[14:59] Kasumi
    Right.
[15:02] Takeru
    See over there? That's the ocean.
[15:05] Takeru
    You can't hear it from this far away, though.
[15:08] Kasumi
    That's...
[15:11] Kasumi
    The ocean?
[15:13] Takeru
    I'd love to take you, but you're
    basically a walking top secret.
[15:17] Takeru
    Once there's peace, let's go together.
[15:20] Kasumi
    Right.
[15:22] Takeru
    Y'know, this place has a lot
    of nostalgia attached to it...
[15:26] Takeru
    For me, in particular.
[15:29] Takeru
    I'm really glad I got to
    visit my old world again.
[15:32] Takeru
    I think every time I go between worlds,
    some of my memories get scattered.
[15:37] Takeru
    There was something the
    Yuuko-sensei from my world said.
[15:41] Takeru
    If there's something I want, I need to
    go after it with a sense of purpose.
[15:45] Takeru
    And that I need to do everything
    I can to make it happen.
[15:49] Kasumi
    What you want...
[15:51] Takeru
    What do you want to do, Kasumi?
[15:54] Kasumi
    Read the BETA's thoughts.
[15:56] Takeru
    Not what was decided for you.
    What you want to do, personally.
[16:02] Takeru
    I want to save this world,
    and then go back to my own.
[16:07] Kasumi
    You do?
[16:08] Takeru
    That's my plan for once
    I've done what I need to do.
[16:14] Takeru
    When we started the experiments,
[16:16] ---
    I was nervous that I'd be
    tempted to stay home.
[16:23] Takeru
    But seeing my old world has made me
    want to save this one more than ever.
[16:29] Takeru
    I can't just abandon the
    people who live here.
[16:35] Takeru
    But in the end... I just don't belong here.
[16:41] Takeru
    Because she's not in this world,
[16:49] Takeru
    and I think I really do miss her.
[16:53] Kasumi
    Nostalgia...
[16:54] Takeru
    What's up?
[16:56] Kasumi
    I don't know what it's like.
[16:58] Takeru
    Why haven't you mentioned that before?
[17:01] Takeru
    You could have told me.
[17:02] Kasumi
    Classified information.
[17:05] Kasumi
    And everyone is scared of me.
[17:09] Takeru
    Who do you mean?
[17:11] Kasumi
    The adults...
[17:13] Kasumi
    But you're not afraid of me, are you?
[17:16] Kasumi
    Why is that?
[17:18] Takeru
    I'm just... not afraid of you.
    I don't know how to explain it.
[17:22] Takeru
    Are you scared of me?
[17:23] Kasumi
    No.
[17:24] Takeru
    See? It's the same thing.
[17:25] Takeru
    If you can tell what I'm thinking,
     then that's that.
[17:28] Takeru
    And if you get the wrong idea,
    I'll just have to clear it up.
[17:30] Takeru
    You can sense that, right?
[17:32] Kasumi
    Please don't assume it's easier
    for me because I can see thoughts.
[17:35] Takeru
    Sorry.
[17:36] Kasumi
    It's okay. You're... funny.
[17:40] Kasumi
    I'm not making fun of you.
[17:42] Takeru
    I still kinda feel like you were.
[17:46] Takeru
    Don't forget about playing cat's cradle.
     Or seeing the ocean.
[17:48] Takeru
    The good stuff and the bad stuff...
    Don't forget any of it.
[17:52] Takeru
    One day, you'll be nostalgic about it.
[17:55] Takeru
    You get it now?
[18:00] Kausmi
    It's pretty...
[18:01] Kausmi
    I'll never forget talking with
    you while looking at this view.
[18:05] Takeru
    Me neither.
[18:07] Takeru
    And that's what nostalgia is.
[18:09] Kasumi
    I can be nostalgic, too, can't I?
SIGN    December 4th, 2001
[18:18] Mikoto
    Huh? Where's Kasumi-san?

    Really?
[18:25] Takeru

[18:26] Tama
    They should be here any minute.

    With increased volcanic activity,
[18:30] News
    last night, a disaster relief
    squadron from the IJA was sent
[18:34] ---
    to rescue a group who had illegally
    returned to their homes.
[18:36] News
    The recovery was handled without much trouble,
    with the civilians being safely secured.
[18:41] Takeru
    Is he talking about Mount Tengen?

    Our next story...
[18:46] Takeru
    I see. We didn't get deployed
    to help with the rescue, then.
[18:49] Takeru
    That should save another ten days.
[18:52] Takeru
    And in a few days, we'll have the
    formulas needed to complete the 00 Unit.
[18:57] Takeru
    Humanity's chances of winning
    will start to increase!
[19:00] Meiya
    What are you so pleased about?
[19:02] Meiya
    You can't seriously trust that broadcast.
[19:05] Meiya
    You know full well
[19:06] ---
    the imperial forces don't have the
    resources to spare on humanitarian aid.
[19:10] Takeru
    You think they were forcibly evicted?
[19:14] Meiya
    If you understand that much,
    then how can you be smiling?!
[19:17] Komaki
    There are even more refugees in the city.
[19:20] Komaki
    Even after the evacuation ends, what good
    will it do if their livelihood has dried up?
[19:25] Komaki
    These people just want to go home.
[19:29] Sagiri
    Let's get moving. Things need to change
    before they lose a place to return.
[19:34] Meiya
    The only people a forced evacuation
    benefits are the government and military!
[19:38] Takeru
    The ideal solution isn't
    always a realistic option!
[19:40] Takeru
    Those soldiers are putting
    their lives in danger!
[19:42] Meiya
    The duty of an imperial soldier is to
    protect the lives and livelihoods of the people!
[19:46] Meiya
    Danger is a natural part of that duty.
[19:48] Meiya
    They claim to be acting in the
    country's best interests,
[19:50] ---
    when it's the powerless who
    are made to bear the burden!
[19:52] Meiya
    Those in power aren't using
    their authority justly!
[19:56] Takeru
    You're a UN pilot, remember?
[20:00] Meiya
    I realize that...
[20:02] Takeru
    So are we supposed to be out there,
     granting people's wishes?
[20:06] Meiya
    That is a part of our duty.
[20:08] Takeru
    You're worried about this shit when we're
    trying to keep humanity from being wiped out?!
[20:13] Takeru
    Are you trying to say that we should

[03:14] Yoroi
    The coup was organized
    by the capital garrison.
[03:17] Yoroi
    And they're very good, to have the city
     under their control in such short order.
[03:21] Yuuko
    What about the shogun?

    It won't take them long to bring

[05:17] Sagiri
    And it's only the tip of the iceberg.
[05:20] Sagiri
    For too long, it has been policy
[05:22] ---
    to disregard the needs of the people who
    the government is supposed to defend.
[05:26] Sagiri
    And Her Majesty's so-called retainers have
    not deigned to inform her of this truth.
[05:32] Sagiri
    If things proceed in this way,
[05:34] ---
    what possible outcome could there
    be but the fall of Japan itself?!
[05:39] Takeru
    Cadet Shirogane, reporting in!
[05:41] Marimo
    Good. I'll continue the briefing.
[05:45] Marimo
    Currently, the capital is under
    near-complete control by the rebel forces.
[05:52] Marimo
    The Ministry of Defense, which had resisted,
     has now fallen, according to reports.
[05:58] Marimo
    I need you to brace for bad news.
[06:00] Marimo
    The interim government has confirmed
    that a number of cabinet personnel,
[06:03] ---
    including Prime Minister Sakaki,
    have been assassinated.
[06:08] Takeru
    Assassinated?!
[06:14] Marimo
    Captain Sagiri personally murdered the
    Prime Minister and his cabinet.
[06:19] Takeru
    The Prime Minister...
[06:21] Takeru
    Class Rep's dad was killed?!
[06:24] Marimo
    Sakaki...
[06:26] Marimo
    You have my condolences
    on your father's death.
[06:31] Sakai
    Thank you, ma'am.
[06:33] Sakai
    But I'm on duty right now.
[06:44] Rab
    Under-Secretary...
[06:46] Rab
    You're asking the UN to intervene
    and stop the rebel forces?
[06:49] Tamase
    The UN wants to maintain stability
    in Japan as much as is possible.
[06:54] Yuuko
    Isn't that just because Japan works
    as a bulwark against the BETA?
[06:59] Yuuko
    And can you explain why the American
    Pacific Fleet is out in force?
[07:03] Tamase
    I was told it was a exercise.
[07:06] Yuuko
    Wow, they have an answer
    for everything, don't they?
[07:09] Yuuko
    After they already abandoned us once...
[07:11] Rab
    It was my understanding that with
    the fall of Sadogashima,
[07:16] Rab
    America had abandoned the security treaty,
[07:18] Rab
    and ceded its jurisdiction
    and duties to COSEAN.
[07:23] Tamase
    Are you saying that you
    absolutely refuse to do this?
[07:26] Rab
    Only until the proper channels
    have been pursued, sir.
[07:31] Tamase
    Then I suppose we're at an impasse.
[07:34] Tamase
    The Americans will be looking for an
    opportunity to unilaterally intervene...
[07:39] Tamase
    And as a Japanese citizen, I want to ensure
    that Alternative IV reaches completion.
[07:45] Yuuko
    Well, if we're sharing our opinions
    as Japanese people, here's mine:
[07:49] Rab
    Professor...
[07:50] Yuuko
    All America cares about is keeping
    the war off their own shores, right?
[07:57] Yuuko
    They want to G-Bomb the
    rest of the world to hell,
[08:00] ---
    and would be happy to rule over the ashes.
[08:03] Tamase
    And if we refuse to play ball,
    they're likely to do just that, regardless.
[08:08] Yuuko
    I wouldn't worry about that, sir.
[08:09] Yuuko
    I won't allow Alternative V or any
    American intervention. Not on my watch.
[08:15] Tamase
    I think we could all use a break.
[08:19] Yoroi
    That was quite the bold declaration.
[08:22] Yoroi
    So, things are actually proceeding
    smoothly after all this time?
[08:25] Yoroi
    Do we have Shirogane Takeru
     to thank for that?
[08:27] Yuuko
    You need to behave.
[08:28] Tamase
    Scary!
[08:32] Tamase
    Well, I should really be
    attending to my own job.
[08:37] Takeru
    Class Rep!
[08:39] Sakaki
    What?
[08:42] Takeru
    What happened really sucks...
[08:44] Sakaki
    Don't worry about it.
[08:46] Takeru
    Are you sure you should be on this mission?
[08:49] Sakaki
    Are you saying I'm not fit for duty?
[08:51] Takeru
    I just don't want you overdoing it!
[08:53] Takeru
    You're actually shaking.
[08:56] Takeru
    Do you realize that?
[08:58] Sakaki
    I guess you're right. I thought it
    wouldn't be so much of a shock.
[09:02] Takeru
    Everyone's worried about you.
[09:05] Sakaki
    I'm still the commander.
[09:08] Takeru
    Will you be okay?
[09:12] Sakaki
    It's fine. I don't have anyone
    left to worry about anymore.
[09:20] Marimo
    The UN Security Council has decided to
[09:23] ---
    incorporate the United States 7th Fleet
     into its response.
[09:27] Marimo
    Yokohama Base is going to begin
    accepting American forces.
[09:31] Yuuko
    The Security Council got on
    board faster than I imagined.
[09:36] Yuuko
    And you don't remember any of this happening?
[09:38] Takeru
    No. The next big thing would've been
[09:41] ---
    Alternative V being announced
    on December 25th.
[09:44] Yuuko
    That is fantastic.
[09:46] Yuuko
    This little mess is actually the
    perfect opportunity for us.
[10:00] Mikoto
    Wow, you can smell it all the way up here!
[10:04] Meiya
    They're being painted for combat.
[10:07] Takeru
    Combat, huh?
[10:11] Tama
    E-E-E-Everyone, there's trouble!
[10:13] Tama
    The IJF have surrounded the base!
[10:27] Meiya
    Even if this is a UN base,
    it's still Japanese soil,
[10:29] ---
    where another nation's military has
    just landed without permission.
[10:32] Meiya
    As a matter of sovereignty,
    it's a natural response.
[10:35] Takeru
    Why aren't they fighting the rebels?!
[10:37] Meiya
    You can share a goal, but as
    long as your priorities differ,
[10:41] ---
    your paths can easily split.
[10:43] Takeru
    What priority is bigger
    than stopping the BETA?
[10:46] Meiya
    That's...
[10:48] Tsukuyomi
    You're not wrong.
[10:51] Tsukuyomi
    But the fact of the matter is that
    there are other issues to consider.
[10:54] Takeru
    Lt. Tsukuyomi...
[10:56] Meiya
    What are you doing here, Tsukuyomi?!
[10:59] Tsukuyomi
    Your protection is the duty that
    Her Majesty assigned to us.
[11:04] Meiya
    I didn't ask for your nonsense!
[11:05] Takeru
    Whoa, Meiya...
[11:07] Meiya
    You needn't worry about me!
[11:09] Meiya
    Go to her now!
[11:12] Tsukuyomi
    Meiya-sama...
[11:14] Meiya
    I lost my composure. Forgive me.
[11:19] Takeru
    Lieutenant, is Her Majesty okay?
[11:22] Tsukuyomi
    The rebel forces have turned
    away from the imperial palace,
[11:24] ---
    putting Her Majesty out
    of their line of fire.
[11:27] Meiya
    I see.
[11:28] Takeru
    Lt. Tsukuyomi, what are
    these IJF forces doing here?
[11:31] Tsukuyomi
    I've heard that the forces used to re-take
    the capital are being requisitioned
[11:35] ---
    from the final and second defense lines.
[11:38] Takeru
    They're thinning out the second defense line?!
[11:40] Takeru
    All over this national
    sovereignty stuff?! What bullshit!
[11:44] Tsukuyomi
    I don't appreciate your tone.
[11:46] Takeru
    None of this is gonna matter
    if humanity doesn't survive!
[11:49] Takeru
    Why not just ask for the UN's
    help and take the rebels down?!
[11:53] Tsukuyomi
    You'd suggest that,
[11:54] ---
    knowing how much the UN's policy benefits
    the interests of a particular country?
[12:00] Takeru
    I would, ma'am!
[12:02] Tsukuyomi
    In spite of what that
    country has already done?
[12:06] Tsukuyomi
    One-sidedly discarding a security treaty,
    retreating from the Asian theater of war,
[12:10] Tsukuyomi
    detonating a G-Bomb during Operation Lucifer...
[12:13] Tsukuyomi
    I'd think any citizen of this
    nation would understand.
[12:17] Meiya
    Tsukuyomi, we're UN soldiers.
[12:21] Meiya
    Takeru's way of thinking isn't wrong.
[12:24] Tsukuyomi
    Of course.
[12:25] Meiya
    Have civilians been harmed in the fighting?
[12:28] Tsukuyomi
    Not at the moment.
[12:29] Tsukuyomi
    The rebel forces are awaiting
    Her Majesty's endorsement.
[12:34] Tsukuyomi
    It's unlikely to come any time soon.
[12:37] Tsukuyomi
    But as time passes, the IJF
    will be able to regroup,
[12:40] Tsukuyomi
    and the risk of US intervention
    will only increase.
[12:44] Tsukuyomi
    To prepare in case the capital
    becomes a battlefield,
[12:46] Tsukuyomi
    the royal guard forces that have been
    operating throughout the empire
[12:50] ---
    are converging on the capital.
[12:53] Meiya
    Very well. You may go.
[12:55] Tsukuyomi
    Yes, ma'am.
[12:58] Meiya
    Forgive her, Takeru.
[13:00] Takeru
    It's easy to understand
    where she's coming from.
[13:03] Takeru
    We should get back.
[13:14] Takeru
    Ayamine...
[13:16] Takeru
    I can still trust you
    to watch my back, right?
[13:21] Ayamine
    If I say "yes," would you
    believe me, Shirogane?
[13:26] Takeru
    You're damn right I will.
[13:29] Ayamine
    Read this.
[13:38] Takeru
    It's from "Tsushima Shuuji"?
[13:41] Takeru
    Man, I can't make heads or tails of this.
[13:43] Ayamine
    "Tsushima Shuuji."
[13:46] Ayamine
    But his real name is Sagiri Naoya.
[13:50] Takeru
    That's the guy who's behind the coup!
[13:53] Ayamine
    The letters make reference
    to a particular name...
[13:56] Ayamine
    Ayamine Shukaku.
[13:58] Ayamine
    My dad.
[14:00] Ayamine
    You've probably heard of the
    Tragedy of Gwangju, right?
[14:04] Takeru
    Ayamine's dad was a Lt. General in the IJA.
[14:07] Takeru
    He was locked up for
    desertion under enemy fire.
[14:13] Takeru
    He was part of Dad's command.
[14:15] Takeru
    And idolized him.
[14:19] Takeru
    People from COSEAN who said that Dad had saved
    their lives keep passing me letters lately.
[14:26] Takeru
    They keep saying that he wasn't wrong for
    prioritizing security for the civilian evacuation.
[14:34] Takeru
    "People should do what they
    can for their country."
[14:39] Takeru
    "And a country should do what
    it can for its people."
[14:47] Takeru
    Dad used to say that all the time.
[14:50] Takeru
    But I honestly don't know
    who's in the right.
[14:55] Takeru
    I didn't want to read letters
    full of other people's regrets.
[15:07] Takeru
    But maybe if I had read them...
[15:10] Takeru
    All those people wouldn't have had to die!
[15:21] Takeru
    Okay. Don't tell anybody else about this.
[15:24] Takeru
    Okay? I'm your partner in crime.
[15:28] Ayamine
    Okay.
[15:40] Marimo
    The interim government in Sendai
[15:42] ---
    has officially decided to
    accept UN military support.
[15:45] Marimo
    Forces from our base are
    being mobilized as we speak.
[15:49] Marimo
    And our flight has been
    assigned to rearguard duties.
[15:58] Marimo
    Our objective is to defend
    the Togashima Fortress.
[16:01] Marimo
    We'll be operating in an
    area southeast of Lake Ashi.
[16:04] Takeru
    Lake Ashi... so, Hakone?
[16:07] Takeru
    That's in the opposite
    direction of the capital.
[16:24] Troops
    You bastard!
[16:25] Troops
    Why'd you shoot?!
[16:28] Troops
    Do you realize what you've done?!
[16:45] Marimo
    We've just received word that fighting
    has broken out in the capital.
[16:49] Marimo
    Members of the infantry
    surrounded the imperial palace
[16:52] ---
    and opened fire on the royal guard.
[16:54] Marimo
    The 2nd Wing of the royal guard
    then returned fire.
[16:59] Marimo
    Captain Sagiri ordered a ceasefire,
    but the situation still has not been contained.
[17:05] Marimo
    The UN 1st and US 117th Tactical
    Armored Groups were already en route,
[17:11] ---
    and have made a landing at Shinagawa Wharf.
[17:13] Marimo
    They're currently engaged with the enemy.
[17:19] Takeru
    What the hell is this Sagiri guy doing?!
[17:22] Marimo
    Keep your comms open.
[17:25] Marimo
    Once we arrive, you'll split
    into Alpha and Bravo Elements,
[17:28] ---
    and take up positions at the
    designated coordinates.
[17:30] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[18:31] Takeru
    It's snowing.
[18:33] Meiya
    Yes.
[18:36] Takeru
    She's in another world.
[18:45] Meiya
    What are you...
[18:49] Takeru
    I wanted to ask you something.
[18:54] Meiya
    What is it that you want to know?
[18:59] Takeru
    Do you relate to what these guys are doing?
[19:03] Meiya
    What makes you ask?
[19:06] Takeru
    That stuff Captain Sagiri was saying
    sounded pretty familiar to me.
[19:12] Meiya
    I can understand their motivation.
[19:15] Takeru
    Well, I didn't understand at first,
[19:18] Takeru
    but there was something that
    helped me figure it out.
[19:22] Meiya
    When this country was faced with
    catastrophic amounts of death...
[19:25] Meiya
    What was it that kept the Japanese
    people from giving into desperation?
[19:29] Meiya
    It was the faith that the
    people had in their country,
[19:31] ---
    and the concern that the
    country had for them.
[19:34] Takeru
    I guess that's what they call "patriotism."
[19:39] Meiya
    But the government and military have lost
    sight of what their true objective is.
[19:44] Meiya
    Those whose only concerns
    and interests are their own
[19:48] ---
    have been undermining the country's welfare.
[19:50] Meiya
    The insurrectionists believe that
    they are saving the people,
[19:54] ---
    and the country, from such individuals.
[19:57] Takeru
    You think that a tighter relationship
    with the UN is making Japan suffer?
[20:02] Meiya
    The people who do believe so are the
    ones responsible for this coup d'état.
[20:06] Takeru
    But what about you, yourself?
[20:12] Takeru
    As for me... even if it's true...
[20:16] Takeru
    If mankind loses the war,
    it'll mean the end of everything.
[20:25] Takeru
    Sorry for dragging you into this.
[20:28] Meiya
    You're very strong.
[20:32] Takeru
    Look, you're stuck between a rock and a
    hard place because of how you project
[20:36] ---
    your own beliefs about the people
    and the shogun onto the rebels.
[20:40] Meiya
    My feelings aren't the real issue.
[20:43] Takeru
    What do you mean?
[20:45] Meiya
    I think about the person who is contending
    with all of this, and doing it alone...
[20:50] Meiya
    That's why, even if only as a gesture,
     I want to stand with her.
[20:55] Meiya
    We've been talking for too long.
[21:03] Meiya
    Takeru...
[21:04] Takeru
    What's up?
[21:06] Meiya
    I ask you to forgive...
[21:08] ---
    my weakness.
[21:12] Takeru
    Meiya...

[00:08] Takeru
    I'm gonna take a walk and
    see if I can wake up a bit.
[00:10] Takeru
    Watch my back for me.
[00:12] Tama
    Roger that.
[00:13] Meiya
    Don't stray too far.
[00:14] Takeru
    I know.
[00:22] Takeru
    The Togashima Fortress...
[00:24] Takeru
    I guess it's like a holiday
    home for the shogun.
[00:28] Takeru
    Two of them.
[00:30] ---
    They're unarmed?
[00:32] Takeru
    Stop! And put your hands behind your head!
[00:34] Nurse
    Know your place, you insolent fool!
[00:36] Yuuhi
    Stop it.
[00:39] Takeru
    Meiya?!
[00:41] Yuuhi
    Meiya?
[00:42] Yoroi
    Running into you kids here... Good grief.
[00:45] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi?!
[00:46] Yoroi
    I guess I should appreciate
    Professor Kouzuki's initiative.
[00:49] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
    Who are these people?
[00:52] Nurse
    You are in the presence of
    Her Majesty, Koubuin Yuuhi!
[00:55] Nurse
    Now lower that gun, you insolent fool!
[00:57] Takeru
    Koubuin Yuuhi?
[00:59] Yoroi
    You would refer to the head of state of
     the Empire of Japan, Her Majesty,
[01:02] ---
    the all-powerful shogun,
    without an honorific?
[01:06] Takeru
    Th-The shogun?!
[01:08] Takeru
    This girl who looks just like Meiya?
SIGN    The Western Gate
SIGN    Battlefield
[02:44] Officer A
    Her Majesty the Shogun
    has already left the capital?!
[02:47] Officer B
    We've confirmed multiple trains leaving the
    city via assorted underground tunnels.
[02:51] Officer B
    She appears to have been in one of them.
[02:53] Officer A
    Send a force after her immediately!
[02:55] Officer A
    We cannot let her fall into the clutches
    of the IJF or the royal guard...
[02:58] Officer A
    And definitely not the UN!
[02:59] Komaki
    Do you think the intel he
    provided us with is trustworthy?
[03:00] Officer A
    Where could she be headed?
[03:02] Officer A
    Who let this happen?!
[03:04] Sagiri
    "In affairs of war, one must lead by example."
[03:09] Sagiri
    We should have anticipated this.
[03:11] Komaki
    You think Her Majesty is trying to
    move the fighting out of the city?
[03:15] Sagiri
    We're truly blessed.
[03:17] Sagiri
    Why should we hesitate in creating
    the foundation she needs?
[03:25] Sagiri
    I'm going to receive Her Majesty!
[03:28] Yoroi
    I've leaked the fact that
    Her Majesty has escaped.
[03:31] Takeru
    Why would you do that?!
[03:33] Yuuhi
    It's all right. I ordered him to do so.
[03:37] Yoroi
    If the rebel forces chase the shogun,
[03:39] ---
    then the IJF, royal guard,
    and UN will all follow...
[03:43] Yoroi
    Putting a swift end to
    fighting in the capital.
[03:46] Yoroi
    Am I wrong?
[03:47] Yoroi
    She's chosen the role of lure for herself.
[03:51] Takeru
    Why not just order all forces to stand down?
[03:56] Yoroi
    She did, of course.
[03:58] Takeru
    Why didn't they, then?
[04:00] Yoroi
    Wasn't this insurrection started by people
     upset with a lack of loyalty to the shogun?
[04:05] Takeru
    Is he saying the guys behind the
    coup are doing the right thing?
[04:07] Yoroi
    But it seems there's a group that is
    dead set on causing a Japanese civil war.
[04:12] Takeru
    Then the infantry who took the first shot...
[04:15] Yoroi
    Do you get the picture?
[04:16] Takeru
    Yes.
[04:17] Yoroi
    Then you need to escort
     Her Majesty to the Yokohama Base.
[04:22] Takeru
    W-Wait, me?!
[04:23] Nurse
    Chief Yoroi!
[04:24] Yoroi
    It should be possible for her
    to ride in your TSF, yes?
[04:28] Yoroi
    And given the situation,
    I can't think of a safer place.
[04:33] Takeru
    You've got a point, but...
[04:34] Yoroi
    I've got a bit of work left to wrap up,
[04:37] ---
    so I'm entrusting the shogun
    to you, Shirogane Takeru.
[04:40] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi?!
[04:41] Yuuhi
    I am truly in your debt for
    this assistance, Yoroi.
[04:43] Yuuhi
    And I pray for your success.
[04:45] Yoroi
    Thank you very much.
[04:47] Yuuhi
    I do not wish to hear of further
    death among my retainers.
[04:52] Yuuhi
    Please, take care.
[04:54] Yoroi
    I can't imagine the depths of
    your sorrow, Your Majesty,
[04:57] Yoroi
    but the root of this
    incident is young people
[05:00] ---
    who took up arms in an attempt to
    change this country for the better.
[05:05] Yoroi
    Even if they went about it the wrong way,
[05:07] ---
    it goes to show that Japan is still
    a country worth fighting for.
[05:10] Yoroi
    And if this roots out some of the corruption,
     then the nation may awaken anew.
[05:14] Yoroi
    That's what I believe.
[05:17] Yuuhi
    It's in your hands.
[05:19] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi, there are American
    troops at the Yokohama Base.
[05:23] Takeru
    Are you sure this is a good idea?
[05:25] Yoroi
    I'm going to make sure it is.
[05:29] Takeru
    I get it.
[05:30] Takeru
    We didn't end up here because
    it was a low-priority duty.
[05:35] Takeru
    Hell, it ended up being the exact opposite!
[05:37] Yuuko
    Isumi, the curtain's about
    to rise on this party.
[05:40] Yuuko
    You ready to go?
[05:41] Isumi
    We're itching to get started. What's the job?
[05:44] Yuuko
    Keep the enemy from reaching the dance floor.
[05:46] Yuuko
    I'm counting on you.
[05:47] Isumi
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:48] Kashiwagi
    Aw, I guess we're out of
    the spotlight this time?
[05:51] Kashiwagi
    Just once, it'd be nice
    to have a starring role.
[05:55] Hayase
    If you're that desperate,
    Kashiwagi, I won't stop you.
[05:58] Hayase
    You could sacrifice yourself while luring
    the enemy away from Her Majesty.
[06:01] Hayase
    That'd be a real tearjerker, right?
[06:04] Kashiwagi
    Well, big shots always make me
    nervous anyway, so I'll pass!
[06:09] Isumi
    Okay, ladies, our little vacation
    is officially wrapped up.
[06:13] Isumi
    We need to get to Hakone.
[06:15] ---
    Let's roll out the red carpet so that the
    rookies can enjoy their moment of glory!
[06:19] Valkyries
    Roger!
[06:28] Marimo
    This is Command Post to all 207 units.
[06:30] ---
    Here's our current sitrep:
[06:33] ---
    Ten minutes ago, we lost contact
    with the Atsugi Base.
[06:36] ---
    The signal from Odawara West HQ
    also went silent shortly after.
[06:39] Takeru
    That's central command for the frontline...

[06:49] Marimo
    We're going to do the same,
    headed towards the Shirahama Coast.
[06:52] Takeru
    Heading to the Yokohama Base over land
    would mean running right into the enemy.
[06:56] Marimo
    Enemy E1 is likely to take a detour
    through old Mishima
[06:59] Marimo
    to stop us from heading too far westward.
SIGN    Former Mishima City
[07:01] Marimo
    Enemy E2 seems headed southward
    on National Highway 135...
[07:05] Marimo
    It's likely that a third enemy group that
    has split off from them will be on our tail.
[07:09] Takeru
    We'll be blocked off on either side,
    with someone coming up behind us.
[07:12] Marimo
    We're still headed southward,
    but if E3 exists as anticipated,
[07:18] Marimo
    then the American 108th TSF Group
    will intercept, functionally luring them away.
[07:24] Marimo
    E1 and E2 are likely to coordinate
    in an attempt to surround us at that point.
SIGN    Ruins of the Hiekawa Toll Booth
[07:29] Marimo
    The area that used to be the Hiekawa toll
    booth is likely to be the critical juncture.
[07:32] Marimo
    If we can reach it before them,
    this mission's success is practically assured.
[07:36] Marimo
    And if we can't get there first,
    we'll have effectively lost.
[07:39] Yuuhi
    You're all in such a difficult position.
[07:41] Yuuhi
    All because of my shortcomings...
[07:43] Takeru
    What are you saying? It'll be okay!
[07:46] Takeru
    This happened because I changed the future...
[07:48] Takeru
    But I have to keep going!
[07:50] Marimo
    We'll be assuming Arrowhead-3 formation
    as we advance, with 06 at the center.
[07:54] Marimo
    The 19th Independent Royal Guard Flight
    will be backing us up in Hammerhead-1.
[07:59] Yuuhi
    The 19th Independent Guard Flight?
[08:03] Marimo
    As we continue westward,
    we'll rendezvous with the 11th Fleet,
[08:06] Marimo
    and then return to the Yokohama Base.
[08:08] Marimo
    For this operation, we can't expect
    any air or fire support.
[08:12] Marimo
    Shirogane.
[08:13] Takeru
    Ma'am!
[08:15] Marimo
    Our number-one priority is to escort Her Majesty,
    Shogun Koubuin, to the Yokohama Base.
[08:20] Marimo
    And that's exactly what you're
    going to do. Understood?
[08:23] Takeru
    Roger that!
[08:24] Marimo
    This duty is a greater honor
    than any of us could ask for.
[08:27] Marimo
    I'm expecting the best performance
    possible out of all of you.
[08:29] Marimo
    00 out!
[08:32] Yuuhi
    I am putting you all in such danger.
[08:36] Takeru
    We're going to get you to the
    Yokohama Base safe and sound.
[08:39] Marimo
    207th Tactical Armored Flight,

    And then I'm going home to my world!

[09:39] Meiya
    Stay calm! The royal guard
    will be protecting our rear!
[09:42] Marimo
    This is 00 to all units! Keep
    your cool and maintain formation!
[09:46] Takeru
    They blew through the imperial
    army like they were nothing!
[09:48] Sakaki
    06, can't you pick up the pace?
[09:51] Takeru
    Don't be stupid! Her Majesty is strapped
    in with a basic safety harness!
[09:53] Takeru
    Any faster is a bad idea!
[09:55] Yuuhi
    It's all right. Please, go faster.
[09:57] Takeru
    Ma'am, I know you took motion sickness drugs,
[10:00] ---
    but without a fortified suit, it's too risky!
[10:02] Yuuhi
    Do it, now.
[10:09] Takeru
    Understood.
[10:11] Takeru
    06 to all units, we'll use a boost jump
    to shortcut over this valley!

    They're coming from over the ridge line!

    Say what?! Since when?!
[10:33] Marimo
    All units, weapons free!
    You may return fire at will.
[10:36] Marimo
    06 must be defended at all costs!
[10:38] Marimo
    But do not take the first shot!
[10:40] Marimo
    They shouldn't risk opening up on us!

[10:43] Takeru
    I guess we're killing other humans now.
[10:45] Rebels
    This message is for the commanders
    of the UN forces and the royal guard.
[10:48] Takeru
    An open channel? It must be coming
    from the guys on our tail.
[10:51] Rebels
    We have no intention of attacking, and demand
    that you come to a stop immediately.
[10:55] Rebels
    Your actions are a grave violation
    of Japan's national sovereignty!
[11:03] Takeru
    Where are they?! Where are they coming from?!
[11:07] Takeru
    They're in visual range?
[11:08] Takeru
    Right in front of us? How'd they get so
    close without the radar picking them up?!

    Drop that lock right now, dumbass!
    You trying to get yourself killed?!
[11:22] Spike 1
    This is the US Army 66th

    Those are American units?
[11:27] Spike 1
    Maintain your speed and
    get out of here, fast!
[11:29] Spike 1
    We've got this handled.
[11:31] Takeru
    We're saved...

    This is 207 Commander. Copy that.

    Attention unidentified craft: follow UN

[12:09] 66th
    Follow the official international language.

    You cowards already abandoned Japan once!
    What do you think you're doing here?!

    Assume Formation Wing-3!
    Surround them, and wipe them out!
[12:44] Rebels

    Hostiles came out of nowhere!
[12:47] Rebels
    That can't be! There was no radar signal!
[12:50] Rebels
    There's no matching IFF signal.
[12:52] Rebels
    Those must be the new American model,
[12:54] Rebels
    the F-22!
[12:56] Rebels
    All units, scatter! Try to pincer them!
[13:07] Rebels
    This... can't be!
[13:13] Spike 1
    All units, give me a status report.
[13:16] Spike 2
    Spike-2, all green.
[13:17] Spike 3
    Spike-3, no problems.
[13:19] Spike 4
    Spike-4, a-okay.
[13:20] Spike 1
    Excellent. The enemy forces are
    surrounding our friendlies.
[13:23] Spike 1
    We'll flank them and intercept.
[13:30] Takeru
    We're saved. I guess those
    must be the new American model.
[13:34] Takeru
    It's hard to believe radar can't catch
    them at such close range.
[13:37] Takeru
    But at this pace,
[13:38] ---
    E1's going to be waiting for us by the
    time we get to the Hiekawa toll booth.
[13:42] Yuuhi
    You seem anxious. Is everything all right?
[13:45] Takeru
    Uh, yeah. It's all good!
[13:47] Yuuhi
    I see. Then you should increase
    the pace. Don't worry about me.
[13:52] Takeru
    Okay...
[13:58] Takeru
    Are you sure you're okay, Your Majesty?
[14:01] Yuuhi
    It's quite fine. I even have
    some experience at the controls.
[14:05] Yuuhi
    I may only be a figurehead, but I am
    still supreme commander of the military.
[14:08] Takeru
    Wait, you mean you've piloted a TSF before?
[14:12] Yuuhi
    That's right. Albeit with only
    ninety hours of flight time.
[14:15] Takeru
    Ninety hours?!
[14:17] Takeru
    I'm a different story, but that's more
    than everyone else in the flight!
[14:20] Yuuhi
    It wasn't on hand for certain reasons,
    but I have a personal unit, too.
[14:28] Yuuhi
    Did I say something strange?
[14:30] Takeru
    No, sorry! It was just... a surprise.
[14:33] Yuuhi
    Those born into the house of the shogun
[14:35] ---
    originally had an obligation
    to lead from the front in war.
[14:39] Takeru
    The shogun would fight in person?
[14:41] Yuuhi
    It's no longer the case, but even then,
    there were no shortage of individuals
[14:45] ---
    tied to the shogun who'd find
    themselves on the battlefield.
[14:48] Takeru
    Meiya, for one.
[14:49] Yuuhi
    And the royal guard's duty is
    to defend such individuals.
[14:54] Takeru
    Makes sense.
[14:55] Yuuhi
    I'm curious, Shirogane...
[14:57] ---
    The 19th Independent Royal Guard Flight,
     which is accompanying us...
[15:00] Yuuhi
    Is their commander a Lt. Tsukuyomi Mana?
[15:04] Takeru
    How'd you know?
[15:05] Yuuhui
    But if she is here, then it's strange.
[15:08] Yuuhui
    There's something else I'd like—
[15:09] Walken
    Contacting 207th Tactical Armored Flight.
[15:12] Walken
    This is Major Walken, commander of the
    US Army's 66th Tactical Armored Battalion.
[15:18] Walken
    Alpha Squadron is buying us some time,
[15:20] Walken
    but it's still too early to breathe easy.
[15:22] Walken
    A resupply point has been
    set down at Kameishi Pass.
[15:24] Walken
    We're requesting that you
    rendezvous with us there.
[15:26] Takeru
    As glad as I am for the chance to resupply...
[15:28] Takeru
    Wait, maybe he's just confident
    that they can slow them down?
[15:33] Yuuhi
    The American pilots are
    risking their lives, too.
[15:36] Yuuhi
    Hurry along.
[15:37] Takeru
    Right.
[15:45] Takeru
    I'm so sorry. I was hoping you could get
    some fresh air during the resupply, but...
[15:49] Yuuhi
    There's no need for concern.
[15:51] Takeru
    Okay.
[15:56] Takeru
    Your Majesty, weren't you
    about to ask me something?
[15:59] Yuuhi
    Earlier?
[16:00] Yuuhi
    Right, I did have a question for you.
[16:04] Yuuhi
    If Lt. Tsukuyomi is accompanying us,
[16:07] ---
    there should have been a
    Takemikazuchi among your number.
[16:12] Takeru
    Hey, I get it now!
[16:13] Takeru
    That Takemikazuchi must have
    been the shogun's personal unit!
[16:17] Yuuhi
    Shirogane...
[16:18] Takeru
    M-Ma'am?!
[16:19] Yuuhi
    When we first met, you
    called me the name "Meiya."
[16:23] Takeru
    Th-That's right...
[16:24] Yuuhi
    Is Mitsurugi Meiya a member of your unit?
[16:27] Takeru
    That's right.
[16:28] Yuuhi
    Then why isn't the Takemikazuchi
    among your number?
[16:33] Takeru
    Meiya hasn't used it. Says she
    doesn't want special treatment.
[16:38] Yuuhi
    That does sound like her.
[16:41] Yuuhi
    There's apparently never been a case of her
    wholeheartedly accepting one of my gifts.
[16:46] Takeru
    Apparently?
[16:48] Takeru
    Uh, Your Majesty, I've gotta know...
[16:50] Yuuhi
    Yes?
[16:51] Takeru
    I haven't been around here for that long,
     so I'm not clear, but...
[16:55] Takeru
    You and Meiya are... sisters, right?
[17:00] Takeru
    Sorry! I probably shouldn't
    have asked, right?
[17:03] Yuuhi
    It's all right.
[17:04] Yuuhi
    What has she told you of her background?
[17:08] Takeru
    Only that she's a distant
    relative of the shogun's house.
[17:12] Takeru
    But... the two of you are identical.
[17:15] Takeru
    Both the way you look,
    and a lot about your personalities.
[17:17] Yuuhi
    I'd imagine that's the case
    because we are actually twin sisters.
[17:27] Yuuhi
    Shirogane, I have a favor to ask of you.
[17:30] Takeru
    What do you need?
[17:32] Yuuhi
    Please give this to her.
[17:35] Takeru
    What's this?
[17:36] Yuuhi
    A symbol of the time that
    she and I spent together.
[17:39] Takeru
    A symbol of your time together?
[17:42] Yuuhi
    It was the only thing
    I took with me when I fled.
[17:45] Takeru
    Isn't it super important, then?!
    And you're trusting me with it?
[17:48] Yuuhi
    I would like her to receive it from you,
     someone she clearly trusts.
[17:52] Takeru
    I...
[17:53] Yuuhi
    What you've told me has made her
    feelings on the matter clear.
[17:57] Takeru
    Couldn't you give it to her in person?
[18:01] Yuuhi
    She has no elder twin sister.
[18:04] Yuuhi
    And the shogun has no younger twin sister.
[18:09] Takeru
    I guess this means they're both prepared
    to deal with everything that entails.
[18:16] Takeru
    I understand. I swear that
    I'll get it to Meiya.
[18:20] Yuuhi
    Please.
[18:23] Walken
    Attention 207th Tactical Armored Flight.
[18:26] Walken
    The enemy forces have
    arrived at Yamaguchi Pass.
[18:29] Walken
    We're going to incorporate you into
    our command, and head out immediately.
[18:33] Walken
    We'll be guarding the flanks and rear.
[18:36] Walken
    Walken out.
[18:41] Takeru
    I never would've guessed Meiya
    and Her Majesty were twins.
[18:44] Takeru
    Your Majesty, are you okay?
[18:47] Takeru
    This is bad!
[18:49] Takeru
    I'm going to slow down.
[18:51] Yuuhi
    You... must not!
[18:53] Takeru
    But...
[18:54] Yuuhi
    Motion sickness... is no threat to my life.
[18:58] Takeru
    Still...
[18:59] Yuuhi
    If we go any slower,
    countless lives could be lost.
[19:04] Yuuhi
    That must be avoided... at all costs!
[19:07] Takeru
    Motion sickness can kill
    you if it gets bad enough!
[19:09] Takeru
    But she's just as stubborn as Meiya!
[19:13] Takeru
    Not to mention...
[19:14] Takeru
    If it gets too serious,
    it'll crater national morale,
[19:18] Takeru
    and there'll be even more stupid
    fighting between humans!
[19:22] Walken
    Hunter-1 to all units.
[19:25] Walken
    An enemy force that advanced
    through old Mishima City
[19:27] ---
    has made it to the Hiekawa toll booth.
[19:29] Walken
    The 174th Tactical Armored Flight
    Battalion has engaged them.
[19:33] Takeru
    Hiekawa?! That's the mission critical point!
[19:36] Takeru
    The rebel forces are reacting way too fast!
[19:38] Takeru
    Did they rush on at full speed without
    considering we'd change course?
[19:43] Takeru
    Could our plan have been leaked?
[19:46] Takeru
    Damn it!
[19:50] USAF
    Russian camo?! Then they're aces
    from the Fuji Training Corps!
[19:53] USAF
    Watch your asses!
[19:55] Walken
    All units, maintain course.
[19:57] Walken
    We're going to pass through
    Hiekawa at top speed!
[20:00] Walken
    The 174th seems to be fighting
    against the Fuji Garrison.
[20:03] Marimo
    What?! Then the Fuji Training Corps
    have sided with the rebels?
[20:07] Takeru
    The training corps...
[20:09] Takeru
    I get it!
[20:10] Takeru
    The Fuji Corps were already out in front,
    and E1 was just shepherding us towards them!
[20:14] Takeru
    And the force that we thought was E1 this
    entire time were actually from Fuji!
[20:17] Takeru
    That explains how they
    got into position so fast!
[20:19] Walken
    But this just proves that if we can get
    past Hiekawa, they'll be out of options!
[20:24] Takeru
    It's true, there are no
    other IJF bases up ahead.
[20:27] Takeru
    We'd even be able to slow down,
    and they couldn't catch up.
[20:30] Takeru
    Our biggest priority right now is keeping
    Her Majesty away from the rebels!
[20:34] Takeru
    It has to be done, for the
    sake of humanity's future!
[20:37] Yuuhi
    Shirogane... do not concern
    yourself so much with me.
[20:39] Walken
    This is Hunter-1 to Heat Leader.
    No change in course.
[20:41] ---
    I repeat, there will be no change in course.
[20:42] Takeru
    Okay.
[20:44] Takeru
    You've gotta make it through this!
    I'm begging you!
[20:46] Takeru
    If we can just get past Hiekawa,
    this stupid battle will be over!
[20:51] Walken
    Hunter-1 to field commanders,
    assume formation Trail-1!
[20:54] Walken
    207th, your top priority is getting clear!
[20:57] Marimo
    This is 00, roger that.
[20:58] Takeru
    There's 1.5 km to Hiekawa...
[21:01] Takeru
    Are we gonna make it?!
[21:16] Walken
    The enemy's made it to the toll booth.
[21:19] Walken
    But with the shogun in our possession,
    they have to be careful about their next move.
[21:23] Takeru
    But what if they're not
    actually trying to secure her?
[21:28] Takeru
    If anything happens to her, and they
    manage to blame the US for it,
[21:32] Takeru
    the fallout would be...
[21:33] Walken
    Hunter-9 and Hunter-13, keep that enemy
    encirclement from coming together.
[21:37] 9/13
    Roger that!
[21:41] Walken
    Hunter-1 to Hunter-5, go
    after the enemy pursuers!
[21:45] 5
    Hunter-5, copy that.
[21:49] Takeru
    Three flights of F-22s,
    putting together a defensive line...
[21:53] ---
    Was this the Major's plan?
[21:54] Walken
    Hunter-1 to field commanders.
    We're going to break through their center!
[21:57] Marimo
    Roger.
[21:58] Takeru
    There are so damn many of them!
    Are we gonna make it?!
[22:08] Takeru
    If we can just get through...
    If we can just...
[22:14] Takeru
    We have to keep going!
[22:17] Takeru
    There's no other way!
[22:34] Takeru
    We made it!
[22:35] Walken
    The operation is a success. The rebel forces
    won't be able to pin us down at this point.
[22:39] Walken
    Once we're past the ruins of Fujimidai,
    we'll switch to nape-of-Earth flight.
[22:42] Walken
    Head toward the valley.
[22:44] Takeru
    That'll mean less stress
    on Her Majesty, too.
[22:47] Takeru
    Your Majesty, we're almost—
[22:50] Takeru
    Your Majesty?!

[00:11] Rebels
    We were unable to recover
    Her Majesty at Hiekawa.
[00:14] Rebels
    I repeat, we were unable
    to recover Her Majesty.
[00:16] Rebels
    We had reinforcements headed toward Hakone!
     What happened to them?
[00:20] Rebels
    They encountered UN forces at
    the West Odawara interchange.
[00:23] Rebels
    The first group was wiped out.
[00:26] Rebels
    All of them?!
[00:29] Komaki
    Captain...
[00:33] Komaki
    I should go.
[00:35] Komaki
    Please, hurry to Atsugi...
[00:40] Komaki
    And save Her Majesty.
SIGN    Resolve
[02:18] Isumi
    Good work. Everyone alive?
[02:21] Tsukiji
    I can't believe our combat test for the new
    OS ended up being against other humans.
[02:25] Touko
    Lt. Tsukiji, focus on the mission.
[02:28] Touko
    The enemy won't be able to accomplish
    their goal if they can't get past us.
[02:33] Touko
    They'll be coming with
    everything they have next.
[02:34] Tsukiji
    But maybe we don't have to kill them—
[02:36] Hayase
    You know better than that!
[02:38] Hayase
    The best way to minimize casualties
[02:41] ---
    is to make it clear that they
    are completely outgunned!
[02:45] Isumi
    All of you, listen up!
[02:47] Isumi
    We Valkyries are the tip of the
    sword that defends humanity.
[02:51] Isumi
    We execute our missions,
    no matter what they are.
[02:55] Isumi
    And if anyone tries to stop us,
    BETA or human, we take them out!
[03:02] Isumi
    Here they come!
[03:05] Komaki
    If we can take control here, we'll be able
    to send reinforcements further south.
[03:08] Komaki
    Let's break through quickly!
[03:10] Komaki
    All units, charge!
[03:12] Rebels
    Roger!
[03:13] Isumi
    You're not going anywhere!
[03:25] Sagiri
    Are we ready?
[03:26] Rebels
    Of course we are.
[03:28] Rebels
    Everyone here knew what they were getting
    into when they decided to follow you.
SIGN    Patriot
[03:34] Rebels
    And we're ready to be of some
    real use to the country.
[03:38] Sagiri
    As you're all aware, Hiekawa
    was unable to hold.
[03:42] Sagiri
    Right now, the Americans and the UN are in
    the process of getting away with Her Majesty.
[03:48] Sagiri
    Our window of time is short, but leaving
    our shogun in their hands is tantamount
[03:53] Sagiri
    to letting these other countries
    dictate our entire future!
[03:55] ---
    To surrendering this nation's soul!
[03:59] Sagiri
    We will reclaim that soul!
[04:00] Sagiri
    The soul of our homeland,
    whose name is "Shogun"!
[04:13] Tsukuyomi
    Severe motion sickness?!
[04:15] Takeru
    Right.
[04:16] Takeru
    She's not vomiting, but if she does,
[04:19] ---
    she could choke or become dehydrated.
[04:24] Tsukuyomi
    Understood.
[04:28] Marimo
    Lt. Tsukuyomi, the grand chamberlain
    mentioned something.
[04:32] Marimo
    Her Majesty apparently hasn't slept
    at all since the insurrection began.
[04:37] Tsukuyomi
    I see.
[04:39] Tsukuyomi
    And she boarded a TSF that was to engage
     in combat maneuvers in that state.
[04:43] Tsukuyomi
    It's no wonder she collapsed.
[04:47] Tsukuyomi
    At this range, any further pursuit
    should be physically impossible.
[04:51] Tsukuyomi
    We'll limit TSF movement and prioritize
    allowing Her Majesty to recover.
[04:59] (Flashback) Meiya
    I think about the person who is contending
    with all of this, and doing it alone...
[05:04] (Flashback) Meiya
    That's why, even if only as a gesture,
     I want to stand with her.
[05:11] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    It is a long-held Koubuin
    belief that twins
[05:14] (Flashback) ---
    are a portent of misfortune that
    threaten to split the world apart.
[05:18] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    That is why she was adopted
    by distant relatives
[05:21] (Flashback) ---
    in House Mitsurugi shortly after birth.
[05:25] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    And in spite of being
    forced out of her home,
[05:30] (Flashback) ---
    and being forbidden to ever
    speak of her background...
[05:33] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    She was trained to serve as my
    body double from an early age.
[05:36] (Flashback) Takeru
    You mean you've never even
    spoken to her in person?
[05:39] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    Even now, simply because she's my sister,
[05:42] (Flashback) ---
    she finds herself in your unit, forced to
     act as a pawn in political games.
[05:48] (Flashback) Takeru
    Doesn't that just come with being
    born into the Shogun's family?
[05:52] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    Partially, yes.
[05:55] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    But her presence at the Yokohama Base
[05:59] (Flashback) ---
    was also intended as a display
    of Japan's loyalty to the UN.
[06:03] (Flashback) Takeru
    So... she's basically a hostage?
[06:07] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    I'm saddened to say that she was forced
    to do so because of my position.
[06:14] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    I can only imagine how disappointed
    she might be with me.
[06:21] (Flashback) Takeru
    I know for a fact that's not true.
[06:25] (Flashback) Takeru
    Meiya understands what you're
    going through better than anyone.
[06:29] (Flashback) Takeru
    When she saw the news about
    Mount Tengen, she was furious,
[06:34] (Flashback) Takeru
    talking about how the people's
    rights were being trampled...
[06:37] (Flashback) Takeru
    That's probably the same concern that made
    you to do something this dangerous, right?
[06:45] (Flashback) Takeru
    You probably understand the rebels' motives,
[06:48] (Flashback) Takeru
    as well as those of the
    politicians who are trying
[06:51] (Flashback) ---
    to work for Japan's interests, right?
[06:56] (Flashback) Takeru
    I'm pretty sure... I know that
    Meiya's always thinking about you.
[07:04] Takeru
    Is this what life is really like in this world?
[07:08] Takeru
    You have to be ready to throw your
    life away to protect something,
[07:10] Takeru
    or someone, at all times.
[07:13] Takeru
    Is that the kind of resolve they have?
[07:16] Walken
    Cadet Shirogane...
[07:17] Takeru
    Y-Yes, sir?
[07:19] Walken
    Administer a dose of the sedative
    triazolam to Her Majesty.
[07:22] Walken
    We're on the move again in 180 seconds.
[07:27] Takeru
    Give her triazolam?!
[07:39] Rebels
    They're so fast!
[07:45] Kashiwagi
    Should've known they wouldn't give up easy.
[07:48] Komaki
    Don't let them lure you into position.
[07:50] Komaki
    Their aim here is to buy time.
[07:53] Komaki
    We'll assume Arrowhead-1 and
    breach their left flank.
[07:55] Komaki
    Let's make quick work of this!
[07:57] Rebels
    Roger!
[07:59] Isumi
    Maintain formation!
[08:01] Isumi
    Use your maneuverability
    to throw them for a loop!
[08:03] Isumi
    Dance around, and then surround them!
[08:11] Rebels
    Speedy little—
[08:16] Rebels
    Wh-What are those maneuvers?!
[08:18] Rebels
    Since when can TSFs move like that?!
[08:22] Takahara
    We can do this!
[08:23] Takahara
    With the new OS, we can fight
    imperial elites on equal footing!
[08:30] Hayase
    Takahara!
[08:45] Hayase
    Ta...
[08:46] Hayase
    Takahara!
[08:52] Komaki
    Don't let their maneuvers confuse you.
[08:55] Komaki
    We've been fighting unpredictable
    enemies long enough
[08:58] ---
    that it shouldn't be a problem.
[09:01] Rebels
    Lieutenant Komaki!
[09:03] Hayase
    You... You assholes!
[09:10] Rebels
    Not today!
[09:12] Hayase
    It was this one!
[09:15] Hayase
    No!
[09:16] Isumi
    Focus on the mission, dumbass!
[09:18] Hayase
    Captain?!
[09:20] Isumi
    I'll keep this one pinned down!
[09:30] Walken
    We'll get moving again shortly.
[09:34] Walken
    What's the holdup, Cadet Shirogane?
    Why haven't you dosed her?
[09:38] Walken
    This is the standard treatment
    for severe motion sickness.
[09:42] (Flashback) Marimo
    Triazolam is a heavy-duty sedative,
[09:45] (Flashback) ---
    and the standard treatment
    for severe motion sickness.
[09:48] (Flashback) Marimo
    That said, sedation can lead
    to respiratory depression...
[09:52] (Flashback) Marimo
    And in a worst-case scenario, cardiac arrest.
[09:55] Marimo
    Always keep that in mind when you're
    considering whether or not to administer it.
[10:01] Tsukuyomi
    Wait a moment, Major!
[10:02] Tsukuyomi
    Considering Her Majesty's condition,
    I think sedation's too great a risk.
[10:07] Tsukuyomi
    It'd be one thing if she was able to rest,
[10:09] ---
    but if she has to continue
    transport via TSF—
[10:11] Major
    Lieutenant, you're an
    observer in this operation.
[10:15] Major
    You aren't authorized to speak up.
[10:19] Major
    If we're trying to improve
    Her Majesty's condition,
[10:22] ---
    the best thing would be to get
    her off the battlefield ASAP.
[10:26] Major
    Once she's asleep, we'll be
    able to increase the pace,
[10:29] Major
    which will shorten our time in transit,
[10:31] ---
    as well as ensuring the
    enemy doesn't find us.
[10:34] Major
    Get it done, Cadet Shirogane.
[10:40] Tsukuyomi
    You will not!
[10:42] Tsukuyomi
    Major, in order for Her Majesty's
    condition to recover,
[10:45] ---
    I suggest a period of rest.
[10:48] Walken
    Lieutenant, the UN's objective here is
    to protect the Shogun from these rebels,
[10:53] ---
    and ensure her safe escape.
[10:55] Tsukuyomi
    Her Majesty is the Shogun,
    head of all affairs of state,
[10:58] ---
    a position she was chosen for
    by none other than the Emperor.
[11:02] Tsukuyomi
    Her safety is of greater importance
    than any governmental mandate.
[11:05] Tsukuyomi
    I ask you to please reconsider—
[11:07] Walken
    Give it a rest, Lieutenant!
[11:08] Tsukuyomi
    Do you really think that the
    commander of a single combat unit
[11:10] Tsukuyomi
    has the authority to order a
    drug with dangerous side-effects
[11:12] ---
    be administered to a sovereign head of state?
[11:17] Marimo
    Major...
[11:18] Marimo
    If the public gets word of Her Majesty
    being unnecessarily drugged,
[11:22] ---
    even if it's the best option available,
    it'll only inflame anti-American sentiment.
[11:29] Marimo
    I have a hard time imagining that kind
    of risk is worth the time and effort
[11:33] ---
    the US is investing in this operation.
[11:35] Walken
    I understand that the two of you are soldiers
    who have pledged loyalty to your homeland,
[11:41] ---
    just like myself and my men.
[11:43] ---
    But I want to make something perfectly clear:
[11:46] ---
    At a time when humanity's survival
    as a species is at stake,
[11:48] ---
    instead of acting as the strategic
     linchpin of the Far East theater,
[11:51] ---
    this country is engaged in a stupid, pointless
    civil war, wasting valuable time and resources.
[11:57] ---
    Your country is the one doing this! Japan!
[12:01] ---
    And the thought of having
    my men die in service
[12:03] ---
    to a country that immature, that asinine,
    is something that makes me sick!
[12:08] ---
    Not when those lives are better
    spent waging war on the BETA,
[12:10] ---
    who are a threat to every human on Earth!
[12:14] Takeru
    He's right.
[12:16] Takeru
    We shouldn't be fighting other
    humans at a time like this.
[12:20] Takeru
    So, why am I hesitating?!
[12:31] Tae
    No!
[12:36] Haruka
    Tae!
[12:37] Haruka
    Get it together! You have to keep moving!
[12:40] Haruka
    Go on!
[12:41] Tae
    Akane-chan...
[12:45] Haruka
    Damn it!
[12:46] Haruka
    Haruko, the captain's on the
    verge of getting cut off!
[12:48] Haruka
    Back her up!
[12:49] Kashiwagi
    I know!
[12:50] Kashiwagi
    But...
[12:56] Kashiwagi
    I don't exactly have my hands free.
[13:00] Haruka
    Damn it...
[13:01] Tae
    Akane-chan!
[13:10] Tae
    Akane-chan!
[13:15] Isumi
    What the hell are you two doing?!
[13:18] Both
    Captain Isumi!
[13:19] Isumi
    If you've got a death wish,
    then hurry up and get it over with.
[13:23] Isumi
    Save the squadron the
    effort of babysitting you.
[13:26] Isumi
    Otherwise, move your asses!
[13:28] Isumi
    If you don't want your other
    comrades to end up like Takahara,
[13:31] Isumi
    then it's up to you to defend them!
[13:34] Tae
    She's right. I'm not
    letting anyone else die.
[13:37] Tae
    We're going to win this battle,
    and we're all going home alive!
[13:41] Isumi
    Let's get going. You two, with me.
[13:44] Both
    Yes, ma'am.
[13:48] Walken
    Do you know how many people are likely to die
    in this ten-minute break you're suggesting?
[13:54] Walken
    Lives on both sides,
[13:56] ---
    who should all be fighting against
    the scourge of humanity, the BETA!
[14:00] Takeru
    The Major's saying all the stuff I believe.
[14:03] Takeru
    But if I give Her Majesty the triazolam...
[14:07] Takeru
    Will she be able to handle it?
[14:10] Tsukuyomi
    You present a fair argument, Major.
[14:12] Tsukuyomi
    After our loss to your country,
[14:15] ---
    our nation lost its pride
    and its politicians grew feeble,
[14:19] Tsukuyomi
    with other countries
    interfering in our affairs
[14:21] ---
    to the point that our
    governance was undermined.
[14:24] Tsukuyomi
    But you must realize that the reason
    your men are being put in danger
[14:29] Tsukuyomi
    is because the American government
    desires renewed influence
[14:30] ---
    in the Far East theater of war.
[14:33] Tsukuyomi
    And with that being the case, your grievances
    are so misplaced, they're practically slander!
[14:37] Tsukuyomi
    If your resolve and loyalty are
    that shallow, then by all means...
[14:41] Tsukuyomi
    Run back to the safety of
    North America, like you did before!
[14:46] Marimo
    That's going overboard, Lieutenant Tsukuyomi!
[14:49] ---
    As the representative of the UN military,
[14:52] ---
    who are overseeing this mission,
    I need to warn you:
[14:54] ---
    Your choice of words indicate an attempt
    to antagonize allied forces in a way
[14:57] ---
    that could undercut the
    success of the mission.
[15:01] Tsukuyomi
    I see.
[15:02] Tsukuyomi
    Then the UN will label the royal guard a
    hindrance to the mission and eliminate us?
[15:08] Tsukuyomi
    Is that what you mean?
[15:12] Takeru
    What the hell are you saying, Tsukuyomi-san?!
[15:14] Takeru
    And Marimo-chan, too! This is not the time!
[15:24] Isumi
    Surrender now. You won't be
    able to catch up in time.
[15:27] Isumi
    Let's put an end to any
    unnecessary bloodshed!
[15:29] Komaki
    Japanese?
[15:31] Komaki
    Are you Japanese?!
[15:33] Komaki
    You would attempt to scurry away
[15:35] ---
    with Her Majesty in spite of everything
    you've seen, you traitor?!
[15:39] Isumi
    We're soldiers with a job to do.
[15:42] Isumi
    That's all I need to know!
[15:45] Komaki
    This insurrection happened because people
[15:47] ---
    keep making that same excuse,
    ignoring the truth of what's going on!
[15:50] Komaki
    If you're only concerned with protecting
    your own position and profits,
[15:54] ---
    with no concern for the
    harm it causes others,
[15:57] Komaki
    how are you any different from the BETA?!
[16:03] Isumi
    I repeat, put down your weapons
    and order your men to stand down!
[16:06] Rebels
    First flight is wiped out!
[16:08] Isumi
    Your plan has already fallen apart!
[16:11] Isumi
    There's no point in struggling any more!
[16:13] Rebels
    Second flight is—
[16:15] Rebels
    Inoperable... my unit isn't responding.
[16:18] Rebels
    Lt. Komaki, I'm going on ahead.
[16:24] Walken
    That's enough, Lieutenant!
[16:26] Walken
    You already stalled for the
    time you were asking for.
[16:29] Walken
    And I have to admit, I fell for it.
[16:34] Walken
    Though I get the feeling some of
    those taunts were pretty sincere.
[16:39] Tsukuyomi
    I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, Major.
[16:43] Takeru
    I get it... This was all so Her Majesty could rest.
[16:48] Takeru
    Y-Your Majesty?!
[16:50] Yuuhi
    Give me the m-medication...
[16:54] Yuuhi
    I'll... be fine.
[16:58] Takeru
    Your Majesty... But...
[17:00] Yuuhi
    Fool...
[17:03] Yuuhi
    Do not... waste... any more... time!
[17:12] Yuuhi
    No... other lives...
[17:16] ---
    must be wasted!
[17:28] Isumi
    It's over. Her Majesty will
    be under UN protection soon.
[17:32] Isumi
    She'll be out of the field.
[17:35] Isumi
    You can't catch up anymore.
    Your plan's been thwarted.
[17:40] Isumi
    This entire conflict ends now.
[17:44] Komaki
    The snow has already fallen.
[17:47] Komaki
    As the light of day shines upon
     the accumulated drifts,
[17:50] Komaki
    its melting will herald the end of winter.
[17:54] Komaki
    Dawn is at hand.
[17:56] Komaki
    We will be the cleansing flow that
    washes our homeland clean of filth.
[18:02] Komaki
    And where the sun shines,
    no trace of snow will remain.
[18:09] Tae
    Something's incoming overhead!
[18:11] Isumi
    Is that—
[18:18] Automated Warning
    Pull up. Pull up.
[18:20] Rebels
    We'll be too visible if we increase altitude.
[18:22] Rebels
    Fly as low as you can.
[18:24] Rebels
    Roger that!
[18:35] Rebels
    Deploying!
[18:41] Rebels
    Assume landing position and watch yourselves.
[18:43] Rebels
    We don't want to end up Laser-class fodder.
[18:46] Walken
    An airborne assault?!
[18:48] Walken
    That shouldn't be possible!
[18:49] Walken
    Our allied forces are supposed
    to have control of the sea.
[18:52] Walken
    Did they actually fly here over land?
[18:55] Takeru
    Are they nuts?!
[18:57] Sagiri
    I am Captain Sagiri Naoya,
[18:59] ---
    with the Mainland Defense Force Imperial
    Capital Guard's 1st Tactical Armored Regiment.
[19:04] Sagiri
    Cease combat activities immediately.
[19:07] Sagiri
    We have not come here to fight.
[19:11] Sagiri
    Though we have cause for this uprising,
    which puts us at odds with you all,
[19:12] Sagiri
    Though we have cause for this uprising,
    which puts us at odds with you all,
[19:15] Sagiri
    we have only come to receive Her Majesty,
    whom you all are attempting
[19:19] ---
    to illegally abscond with.
[19:22] Sagiri
    I realize that this is one-sided,
    but I am proposing a 60-minute ceasefire.
[19:28] Sakaki
    What is he trying to do?
[19:29] Sagiri
    Know that we make this offer in the
    name of Her Majesty, Koubuin Yuuhi.
[19:36] Sagiri
    We will under no circumstances violate it.
[19:39] Sagiri
    I hope that all of you will make
    the realistic choice in good faith.
[19:40] Mikoto
    Seriously?
[19:45] Sagiri
    I will contact you again in sixty minutes.
[19:48] Sagiri
    If we receive no response at that time,
[19:50] ---
    we will act to contain this situation
    with every means available to us.
[19:54] Sagiri
    Keep that in mind. Sagiri out.
[20:00] Walken
    This is obviously a trap.
[20:02] Marimo
    With all due respect, Major,
    it's inconceivable that an imperial soldier
[20:06] ---
    would break his word when offered
    in the name of the Shogun.
[20:09] Walken
    And you agree with that, Lieutenant?
[20:11] Tsukuyomi
    I do. These people have taken action
    out of concern for the country,
[20:15] ---
    and the position Her Majesty is in.
[20:18] Tsukuyomi
    I believe the sergeant is correct.
[20:20] Walken
    I'm not sure where this faith in
    the enemy is coming from, exactly,
[20:25] Walken
    but we'll abide by the ceasefire.
[20:29] Walken
    I want the 207th in position to
    respond to an infantry attack,
[20:32] ---
    and protecting Her Majesty.
[20:35] Takeru
    They weren't even trying
    to hide their markers.
[20:37] Takeru
    So, why would they be so quiet now,
[20:39] ---
    after they took the risk of
    flying in to get the drop on us?
[20:43] Takeru
    If they keep the ceasefire, it's got to be
    for their sense of honor or pride, right?
[20:48] Takeru
    But that stuff is completely worthless
    when it comes to an actual operation.
[20:52] Takeru
    I'm not like them.
[20:54] ---
    Victory for mankind will always
    be my number-one priority.
[20:58] (Flashback) Yuuhi
    No other lives...
[21:03] (Flashback) ---
    must be wasted!
[21:09] Takeru
    Damn it!
[21:10] Takeru
    Your Majesty...
[21:14] Takeru
    What exactly is it that I'm lacking?

SIGN    Everyone's Thoughts
[01:38] Irma
    Huh?
[01:40] Tama
    Oh, you're with the Americans.
[01:43] Irma
    Sending cadets out into combat...
[01:45] ---
    I guess the UN really is short
    on manpower in the Far East.
[01:48] Tama
    I'm so sorry about all of this.
[01:52] Irma
    What do you mean?
    Why would you apologize for it?
[01:56] (Flashback) Tamase
    There are people who say I'm selling
    Japan out to foreign countries.
[01:59] (Flashback) Tamase
    But right now, Japan is
    the last bastion of hope
[02:02] (Flashback) ---
    that people will ever be able
    to live in the Far East again.
[02:05] (Flashback) Tama
    The last bastion?
[02:06] (Flashback) Tamase
    And to protect Japan, we need
    the American military's help.
[02:10] (Flashback) Tamase
    But there are people who don't like that.
[02:13] (Flashback) Tamase
    Still, somebody has to do it.
[02:18] Irma
    It must be even harder for you, then.
[02:20] ---
    Pointing guns at your countrymen...
[02:23] Tama
    It's... part of the mission.
[02:25] Irma
    True.
[02:27] Irma
    Y'know, I'm originally from Finland.
[02:30] Irma
    I'm actually a war refugee.
[02:32] Irma
    You know, with Finland being overrun.
[02:36] Tama
    Why would you enlist in the American
    army if you're from Finland?
[02:41] Irma
    For citizenship.
[02:43] Irma
    The only way to get it is to
    serve until you're discharged.
[02:47] Irma
    But once I'm a citizen, I can move
    my family out of the refugee camps.
[02:51] Tama
    Your family survived, then?
[02:53] Irma
    My mother and little sister did.
[02:55] Irma
    But my father volunteered to serve and
    went MIA on the North Karelian front.
[03:00] Irma
    I want to fight the BETA like
    he did, to protect my family.
[03:06] Irma
    And then one day,
    we'll chase them out of Europe,
[03:09] ---
    and rebuild the Finland my dad
    risked his life to protect.
[03:15] Tama
    The country her father
    was trying to protect...
[03:17] Irma
    My name's Irma. Irma Thesleff.
[03:20] Irma
    How about you?
[03:21] Tama
    Uh... um, it's Miki Tamase!
[03:24] Irma
    Okay, Miki. Why don't you and your
    father come to Finland someday?
[03:29] Tama
    Sure! I would love to!
[03:31] Irma
    Okay, it's a promise.
[03:33] Tama
    Yeah!
[03:36] Tama
    When you make a pinky swear, whoever breaks
    it has to a swallow a thousand needles!
[03:47] Tama
    She's fighting to get her homeland back.
[03:51] Tama
    But my daddy...
[03:54] Tama
    He's dragging people like her into this!
[03:58] Tama
    He says that we need the American
    army's help to protect Japan!
[04:04] Takeru
    I mean, we do need their help, right?
[04:07] Tama
    But I'm scared...
[04:09] Tama
    That he might've caused the coup
    to get the Americans involved!
[04:14] Kamiyo
    Shirogane Takeru.
[04:17] Kamiyo
    Her Majesty has summoned you.
[04:30] Yuuhi
    Ordinarily, your remarkable
    TSF piloting abilities,
[04:34] Yuuhi
    in addition to the other soldiers and
    resources involved in this operation,
[04:37] Yuuhi
    would have all been dedicated
    to fighting the BETA.
[04:40] Yuuhi
    Do you agree that it would be tragic to
    see them lost in this kind of conflict?
[04:47] Yuuhi
    So why did you hesitate to
    administer the triazolam?
[04:54] Yuuhi
    Shirogane...
[04:55] ---
    In time, I can see you having
    authority of your own.
[04:58] Yuuhi
    That means you will be forced
    to make many hard decisions.
[05:02] Yuuhi
    And unfortunately, there will not
    always be an obvious correct choice.
[05:06] Yuuhi
    The choices that you will make, and the
     direction in which they take you...
[05:10] Yuuhi
    Should you find yourself lost,
[05:12] ---
    have the courage to take a moment to
    consider your original motivation.
[05:15] Yuuhi
    And never hesitate to dirty your own hands.
[05:19] Yuuhi
    Those who lead must never flinch in
    the face of their responsibility.
[05:23] Yuuhi
    That is all I wanted to tell you.
[05:26] Yuuhi
    Thank you for coming during this
    period of rest. You may go.
[05:32] Yuuhi
    Shirogane? Is there
    something you want to ask?
[05:36] Takeru
    I was feeling like I lacked
    patriotism as a Japanese person.
[05:40] Takeru
    I think I can understand why Captain Sagiri
    was willing to start an uprising
[05:43] ---
    to change things.
[05:45] Takeru
    But to me, there's something
    more important.
[05:47] Yuuhi
    And that is?
[05:49] Takeru
    Humanity's collective focus should
    be getting rid of the BETA.
[05:54] Takeru
    Worrying about Japan's future
    can wait until after that.
[05:57] Takeru
    But it just doesn't even seem like humanity
    wants to unite to get rid of the BETA.
[06:02] Yuuhi
    What makes you question your patriotism?
[06:06] Takeru
    Everyone in my squad has unique circumstances.
[06:11] Takeru
    All of them have some major, if indirect,
    connection to the country.
[06:17] Takeru
    When I interact with them,
[06:19] ---
    it feels like they take being Japanese
    a lot more seriously than I do.
[06:24] Ayamine
    Our families have known each
    other for a long time...
[06:27] Ayamine
    And we were almost raised like siblings.
[06:31] (Flashback) Gen.Ayamine
    We're going to try and make
    sure as many people as possible
[06:33] (Flashback) ---
    can escape the peninsula safely.
[06:36] (Flashback) Sagiri
    And we're going to survive.
[06:39] (Flashback) Sagiri
    Both myself and the general.
[06:40] (Flashback) Ayamine
    Okay. I'll be waiting.
[06:44] Ayamine
    The Tragedy of Gwanju.
    That's what they called it.

[06:54] Sagiri
    I'm sorry.
[06:56] (Flashback) Ayamine
    Naoya!
[07:01] Ayamine
    Naoya...
[07:02] Takeru
    There's the daughter of
    UN Under-Secretary Tamase,
[07:04] ---
    the daughter of former
    Lieutenant General Ayamine...
[07:07] Takeru
    Chief Yoroi's daughter, too.
[07:10] Takeru
    Along with the daughter of Prime Minister
     Sakaki, who was killed this morning.
[07:15] Yuuhi
    Shirogane...
[07:16] Yuuhi
    Call everyone here, please.
[07:19] Yuuhi
    Major Walken...
[07:21] Yuuhi
    For the assistance that the American
    armed forces have provided,
[07:24] Yuuhi
    as shogun of the nation of Japan, allow me
    to express my most heartfelt gratitude.
[07:37] Walken
    With all due respect, Your Majesty,
    verbal thanks are more than enough.
[07:46] Yuuhi
    Sergeant Jinguuji.
[07:47] Marimo
    Ma'am!
[07:48] Yuuhi
    Might I speak to your soldiers?
[07:51] Marimo
    By all means.
[07:52] Yuuhi
    You are Sakaki Korechika-dono's
    daughter, yes?
[07:55] Sakaki
    Ma'am!
[07:56] Yuuhi
    Korechika-dono was a loyal subject.
[07:59] Yuuhi
    You have my deepest condolences
    on his untimely passing.
[08:04] Yuuhi
    And I ask you to endure this
    affair for just a bit longer.
[08:08] Sakaki
    Yes...
[08:09] Yuuhi
    You are Tamase Genjousai-dono's daughter, yes?
[08:13] Yuuhi
    The benefits that your
    father's tireless efforts
[08:16] ---
    have brought to Japan cannot be understated.
[08:21] Yuuhi
    And your choice to follow him in
    service to the international community
[08:25] ---
    is an admirable one.
[08:26] Tama
    Right!
[08:27] Yuuhi
    You are Yoroi Sakon-dono's daughter, yes?
[08:29] Mikoto
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:31] Yuuhi
    The shogun's house has the pleasure
    of employing him rather frequently,
[08:34] ---
    and I have met him myself many times.
[08:37] Yuuhi
    I'm afraid in allowing this to happen,
[08:39] ---
    I have once again prevented the
    two of you from seeing each other.
[08:44] Yuuhi
    I'm sure you're worried about him,
    but you need only bear it for a bit longer.
[08:48] Mikoto
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:49] Yuuhi
    And you are?
[08:50] Ayamine
    Cadet Ayamine Kei, ma'am.
[08:54] Yuuhi
    I have received instruction in military
    affairs from a great many officers.
[09:01] Yuuhi
    And I am certain that all of them would
    lament this current state of affairs.
[09:07] Yuuhi
    "People should do what they
    can for their country."
[09:10] Yuuhi
    "And a country should do what
    it can for its people."
[09:16] Yuuhi
    One of my mentors would often say this,
[09:18] ---
    and I carry his words in
    my heart at all times.
[09:22] Yuuhi
    The gravity of those words has never
    been as clear to me as in this moment.
[09:27] Yuuhi
    But I have no intention of playing
    the part of underachieving pupil,
[09:32] Yuuhi
    so can you endure for just a moment longer?
[09:35] Ayamine
    Yes, ma'am.
[09:38] Yuuhi
    Cadet Shirogane.
[09:40] Takeru
    Ma'am!
[09:41] Yuuhi
    I'd like to offer my heartfelt
    thanks to you once again.
[09:43] Yuuhi
    I can only hope this will help you
    find the answers you are seeking.
[09:48] Yuuhi
    Now, then, with the long-standing
    conflict against the BETA,
[09:51] ---
    our citizens are on the verge
    of spiritual exhaustion.
[09:54] Yuuhi
    Sadly, as I currently am, I'm unable
    to even offer a measure of comfort.
[09:58] Yuuhi
    It's never been more apparent to
    me how much I am still lacking.
[10:00] Yuuhi
    But in spite of that, I still
    wish to protect my people...
[10:03] ---
    To protect their souls, and their country.
[10:06] Takeru
    I get it.
[10:08] Takeru
    When they talk about the country,
    they don't mean the government.
[10:10] Yuuhi
    I'm sure those who haven
    risen up in this fashion
[10:13] ---
    let the same noble desire
    overwhelm their reason.
[10:16] Yuuhi
    There is no doubt that they have killed
    their countrymen, which is a grievous sin...
[10:22] Yuuhi
    For which they will face appropriate punishment,
     after being tried in a court of law.
[10:28] Yuuhi
    But...
[10:29] ---
    I ask that you show some small forgiveness
    when considering their motivation.
[10:33] Yuuhi
    Because the blame for
    that lies with me alone.
[10:36] Yuuhi
    And the notion of humanity's defenders
    being counted among the dead, for my sake,
[10:42] ---
    is something that cannot
    be allowed to continue!
[10:46] Yuuhi
    Which is why I will speak
    with the insurgents myself!
[10:51] Walken
    Your Majesty?!
[10:53] Yuuhi
    Tsukuyomi, bring me a Takemikazuchi!
[10:56] Meiya
    Please, wait.
[11:02] Meiya
    I am Cadet Mitsurugi Meiya.
[11:05] Meiya
    And with all due respect, I must insist...
[11:07] Meiya
    That the duty of negotiating
    with the insurgents fall to me.
[11:12] Meiya
    I have often been described as
    the living image of Your Majesty.
[11:16] Meiya
    I beg of you...
[11:16] Yuuhi
    This is a responsibility
    that belongs to me alone.
[11:20] Meiya
    Your Majesty, your responsibility
    is nothing as small as this.
[11:25] Meiya
    Were anything to happen to you, it would
    almost certainly mean doom for the Empire.
[11:30] Meiya
    If you truly consider yourself
    responsible for this conflict,
[11:34] Meiya
    then you must understand that you do not
    personally need to quell their uprising.
[11:40] Meiya
    I beg you for your permission.
[11:44] Takeru
    Meiya...
[11:58] Yuuhi
    I leave this matter to you.
[12:02] Tsukuyomi
    Major...
[12:04] Tsukuyomi
    I believe having the cadet
    act as a body double
[12:06] ---
    will increase our chances of being
    able to break past the encirclement.
[12:10] Tsukuyomi
    If she's able to talk down the insurgents,
     then all the better.
[12:13] Tsukuyomi
    But if she fails, she'll be providing
    a distraction that will improve
[12:16] ---
    the chances of Her Majesty's escape.
[12:18] Tsukuyomi
    And even if she is captured,
[12:20] ---
    by the time they realize who she is,
    Her Majesty will be at the Yokohama Base.
[12:24] Walken
    This doesn't seem to be in the spirit
    of what Her Majesty wanted.
[12:29] Walken
    And the royal guard has no problem with that?
[12:31] Tsukuyomi
    The odds it offers for all
    soldiers safely returning home
[12:33] ---
    are no worse than any other plan.
[12:35] Tsukuyomi
    And even if the negotiations are successful,
[12:36] ---
    the insurgents will be executed eventually.
[12:39] Tsukuyomi
    I believe Her Majesty proposed
    the plan fully aware of that.
[12:42] Walken
    She's willing to go that far?
[12:44] Takeru
    Major!
[12:45] Takeru
    Requesting permission to speak!
[12:48] Marimo
    Pipe down, Shirogane!
[12:49] Walken
    What is it with this guy?
[12:50] Takeru
    Ma'am!
[12:51] Takeru
    Thank you for permission, sir!
[12:53] Marimo
    Damn it!
[12:56] Takeru
    I'm volunteering as well.
[12:57] Walken
    To what end?
[12:58] Takeru
    Sir, it'd be smart to have the
    shogun's body double in my unit,
[13:01] Takeru
    where the real deal had been riding.
[13:03] Takeru
    There's a good chance they've already determined
    my unit is the one the shogun is aboard,
[13:07] Takeru
    which will help with the
    authenticity of the ruse.
[13:09] Takeru
    Please, Major!
[13:13] Major
    You've already balked at my orders once.
[13:15] Major
    Is there some reason I should trust you now?
[13:20] Takeru
    No.
[13:21] Major
    Then why?
[13:22] Takeru
    At first I thought that this conflict
    was a stupid fight between humans.
[13:27] Takeru
    But after considering a lot of different
    perspectives and positions during the mission,
[13:30] Takeru
    I wasn't sure what to do anymore.
[13:34] ---
    But I've realized one thing:
[13:36] ---
    That I'm a Japanese person,
[13:39] ---
    and I need to consider what needs to be
    done to achieve my goals, take those actions,
[13:42] ---
    and take responsibility for
    what happens as a result.
[13:44] ---
    That's why I'm volunteering.
[13:49] Walken
    And what exactly is your goal?
[13:51] Takeru
    Victory for mankind, sir!
[13:56] Walken
    I get where you're coming from.
[13:58] Walken
    But they would be suspicious if you
    approached them by yourself.
[14:01] Tsukuyomi
    A royal guard escort will likely be
    necessary to make it convincing.
[14:05] Tsukuyomi
    Do you agree, Major?
[14:08] Walken
    We're going with your plan!
[14:10] Walken
    Dismissed!
[14:15] Tsukuyomi
    Look after Meiya-sama.
[14:58] Irma
    Dad...
[15:00] Walken
    Hunter-1 to all units.
[15:02] Walken
    I'm going to brief you on the plan.
[15:04] Walken
    Sixty seconds prior to
    the end of the ceasefire,
[15:06] Walken
    Lt. Tsukuyomi is going to make contact
    with the rebels via open channel
[15:10] ---
    and make an offer for negotiations.
[15:14] Walken
    For information security, data links
    are to be disabled during the plan.
[15:19] Walken
    Our success is going to be riding on
    all of you using your best judgment.
[15:22] Takeru
    It's okay. I know you can pull this off.
[15:24] Walken
    I'm counting on you all.
[15:27] Everybody
    Roger!
[15:30] Tsukuyomi
    This message is for Captain Sagiri.
[15:32] Tsukuyomi
    I am Lt. Tsukuyomi with
    the Imperial Royal Guard.
[15:36] Tsukuyomi
    If you are open to discussion,
    then I request a response.
[15:39] Sagiri
    This is Captain Sagiri.
[15:42] Sagiri
    Have you come to a conclusion
    with your deliberations?
[15:44] Tsukuyomi
    Her Majesty would like to
    speak to you in person.
[15:48] Sagiri
    Is that true?
[15:50] Tsukuyomi
    Whether you believe it or
    not is your choice to make.
[16:10] Sagiri
    It is an honor to be in your presence.
[16:14] Sagiri
    I am Captain Sagiri Naoya,
[16:16] ---
    with the Mainland Defense Force Imperial
    Capital Guard's 1st Tactical Armored Regiment.
[16:22] Meiya
    Raise your head.
[16:24] Sagiri
    Ma'am...
[16:29] Meiya
    It is truly unfortunate that we must
    meet under these circumstances.
[16:35] Sagiri
    I cannot begin to apologize for
    having caused you such concern.
[16:41] Sagiri
    But I beg your patience until the
    corruption of the Empire has been excised.
[16:47] Meiya
    The fact that I caused you all to feel this
    was necessary is what truly frustrates me.
[16:52] Meiya
    I have no doubts that our government
    has worked in the interests
[16:55] ---
    of our country, our people,
    and the world at large.
[16:58] Meiya
    It is my inability to help reconcile
    the differences among my subjects
[17:01] ---
    that is to blame for what has happened.
[17:03] Sagiri
    With all due respect, Your Majesty,
[17:05] Sagiri
    if differences cause discord between those
[17:07] Sagiri
    who would seek to make your
    will into political reality...
[17:09] Sagiri
    it falls to the government and the military
    to mend those relationships, not yourself.
[17:13] Sagiri
    But they have proven they lack the
    ability to regulate themselves,
[17:16] Sagiri
    with no consideration for
    the grief it causes you.
[17:19] Meiya
    I understand what you wish to say.
[17:21] Meiya
    But it does not change the
    fact that responsibility
[17:24] ---
    the state of our nation
    falls to myself, as shogun.
[17:27] Meiya
    There is no need for you and your
    comrades to shed blood in my name.
[17:31] Sagiri
    Forgive me.
[17:32] Sagiri
    Hearing your words is truly
    like having my spirit cleansed.
[17:36] Sagiri
    But given this opportunity
     to speak to you,
[17:39] Sagiri
    there is something that I must make you
    aware of, as much as it shames me to do so.
[17:44] Meiya
    By all means.
[17:45] Sagiri
    This escalation is the result of the
    conspiracy meant to play into America's hands!
[17:51] Sagiri
    It has been said that one of
    our men made the first attack,
[17:54] Sagiri
    but after looking into the
    soldier who opened fire,
[17:56] Sagiri
    we were able to confirm he was in the
    employ of an American intelligence agency.
[18:04] Takeru
    Damn!
[18:06] Sagiri
    America, in its desire to
    regain influence in the Far East,
[18:08] ---
    intends to take you into custody
    as a means of ending this conflict.
[18:11] Sagiri
    That is the nature of their scheme.
[18:13] Sagiri
    And it is the interim government in Sendai,
[18:17] ---
    who so readily accepted
    American intervention,
[18:19] Sagiri
    and who turned the capital into a battlefield
[18:22] ---
    by covering up your attempt
    to order a ceasefire!
[18:26] Sagiri
    That said, I was unable to
     prevent what happened.
[18:29] Sagiri
    And my guilt cannot be...
[18:32] Meiya
    If you care so much for your nation...
[18:35] Meiya
    For your people... for Koubuin Yuuhi...
[18:41] Meiya
    What drove you to strike
    down your fellow man?!
[18:46] Meiya
    Bloodshed gives rise to
    more bloodshed, birthing conflict.
[18:52] Meiya
    Even if you intended express the true
    will of the shogun to the people...
[19:00] Meiya
    How can you condemn the
    government who forced people
[19:02] ---
    from their homes on Mount Tengen
    after what you have done?
[19:05] Meiya
    How can you claim to speak for the people?
[19:07] ---
    Not after what you have done!
[19:11] Meiya
    The nation of Japan exists
    in the heart of its people.
[19:15] Meiya
    And the shogun is a mirror
    that reflects those hearts.
[19:20] Meiya
    To defend Japan is to defend its people!
[19:24] Meiya
    Because there is no such thing as
    a country without those people.
[19:28] Meiya
    You should have known that
    better than any other,
[19:30] Meiya
    yet you have found yourself astray.
[19:33] Meiya
    But it is not too late to do the right thing.
[19:36] Meiya
    This conflict must be brought to
    an end as quickly as possible,
[19:39] ---
    so that the people's
    hearts can be unburdened.
[19:42] Meiya
    And only one person can save the
    lives of your compatriots...
[19:46] Meiya
    As well as the the lives of the Imperial,
    American, and UN soldiers involved.
[19:50] Meiya
    Only you can do this.
[19:53] Meiya
    Your concerns for Japan's
    future are not lost on me.
[20:00] Meiya
    The lessons I have learned
    today will inform me,
[20:02] ---
    as I devote myself to the betterment
    of our country and its people.
[20:06] Meiya
    In the name of Koubuin Yuuhi...
[20:09] Meiya
    I swear to you.
[20:18] Sagiri
    Your Majesty...
[20:19] Sagiri
    The fates of my comrades...
    are in your hands.
[20:47] Sagiri
    Enemy attack!
[20:48] Takeru
    Wh-What the—
[20:50] Takeru
    What just happened?!
[20:52] Meiya
    Stop!
[20:53] Meiya
    Don't do it!
[20:55] Walken
    Hunter-2, why did you fire?!
[20:57] Walken
    Hunter-2!
[21:00] Tsukuyomi
    What are you doing, Shirogane?!
[21:01] Tsukuyomi
    Get back!
[21:04] Meiya
    It's not too late!
[21:06] Meiya
    There might still be a chance—
[21:07] Takeru
    Damn it, just put your safety harness on!
[21:10] Meiya
    But—
[21:11] Takeru
    I am not letting you die here!
[21:13] Takeru
    You're gonna live to see Her Majesty!
[21:17] Takeru
    Why?!
[21:19] ---
    How the hell did it come to this?!

    Damn it! None of this is going to plan.
[03:44] CIA
    Let's start with the body double.
[03:47] Walken
    I used my authorization as
    commander to lock your weapons.

[03:54] Walken
    I never imagined my unit
    would be infiltrated.

    You should've just shot me

    I'm dragging you back home, where you'll
    face justice in the American legal system.

    I think I've underestimated you people.

    But I'm still a US soldier!
[05:30] Sagiri
    As long as Her Majesty lives,

[07:44] Sagiri
    You're a member of the royal guard!
[07:46] Sagiri
    Why would you side with the Americans?!
[07:49] Sagiri
    Are you really so desperate
    to serve your own interests?!
[07:54] Sagiri
    That you'd bow to outsiders?!
[07:57] Sagiri
    Answer me, Lieutenant!
[08:02] Sagiri
    Or has Japan become so infatuated
    with the honor of serving mankind...
[08:07] Sagiri
    That it's willing to throw its
    dignity and integrity...
[08:11] Sagiri
    into oblivion?
[08:13] Sagiri
    Those who fought before us
[08:16] ---
    didn't die so that Japan could
    be twisted into what it's become!
[08:21] Sagiri
    If we remain dormant after today, then what
    possible salvation is there for Japan?!
[08:32] Tsukuyomi
    Captain Sagiri... I don't
    appreciate your tone.

    I'd think any citizen of this

    Is mankind not able to move forward

    And it is all of you who embody that belief.

    will serve as a lesson,

    The United Nations, the Empire,
    and even different individuals...
[15:37] Yuuhi

    own distinct concerns,

    fundamental motivation, is one and the same.

    Knew what?

    No... it's nothing.

    My beloved countrymen.
[18:16] Yuuhi
    I cannot begin to apologize for the
    difficulty you have experienced recently.
[18:24] Yuuhi
    This uprising was brought on by young people
    who sought to correct our nation's course,
[18:28] ---
    a state of affairs brought
    on by my own failings.
[18:34] Yuuhi
    The things they have done
    are by no means permissible.
[18:39] Yuuhi
    But I cannot condemn the frustration and
    dedication to a new dawn for our country
[18:43] ---
    that led them to rise up.
[18:47] Yuuhi
    After what has happened, I believe
    it is important to consider
[18:51] ---
    what it means to be Japanese,
    and also what it truly should mean.
[18:56] Yuuhi
    I am sure that this will be a source
    of strength as mankind unites as one
[18:59] ---
    to battle the menace that threatens us all.
[19:04] Yuuhi
    And as the war rages on
    with no end in sight,
[19:07] ---
    I'm sure you will all be beset with anxiety.
[19:12] Yuuhi
    Which is why all of us must steel ourselves
    as we contend with these dark times.
[19:19] Yuuhi
    These men, who took up their weapons
    against friend instead of foe,
[19:24] ---
    gave their lives to
    demonstrate this to us all.
[19:27] Yuuhi
    So that the pride and strength
    within us all might be reawakened.
[19:33] Yuuhi
    Nothing of value is gained through inaction.
[19:36] Yuuhi
    But without a clear goal in mind,
[19:39] ---
    and by simply lashing out,
[19:42] ---
    there is no hope of gaining
    that which you truly seek.
[19:47] Yuuhi
    With their noble aims as inspiration,
    it is my hope that we will stand as one,
[19:52] Yuuhi
    and overcome these turbulent times together.
[19:56] Yuuhi
    Those who sacrificed their lives for
    their countrymen and homeland...
[19:59] Yuuhi
    And the hearts of those who
    died fulfilling their duties...
[20:03] Yuuhi
    I beg you to never forget them.
[20:06] Yuuhi
    It is my intention to continue forward,
    propelled by their collective will.
[20:10] Yuuhi
    And I ask that you all share your
    strength with me in the times to come.
[20:16] Ayamine
    What an idiot.
[20:18] Yuuhi
    Let us all walk toward the future,
[20:21] ---
    so that the mistakes of the
    past might not be repeated.
[20:26] Yuuko
    This paid off better than I expected.
[20:28] Yoroi
    I'm glad that I worked myself
    to the bone to pull it off, then.
[20:32] Yoroi
    So, what exactly happens next, Professor?
[20:37] Yuuko
    Let's call it a fairy tale.
[20:41] Yuuko
    One that's very intimate...
[20:43] Yuuko
    Yet very epic in scale.

[22:27] Takeru
    Regular troops!

[00:05] Meiya
    Takeru? Takeru!
[00:08] Meiya
    You need to wake up, Takeru.
[00:11] Takeru
    Meiya?
[00:12] Meiya
    What's wrong? Are you still half-asleep?
[00:18] Takeru
    What—
[00:18] Takeru
    a-a-a-are you doing in my bed?!
[00:23] Meiya
    Ah, well, I just wanted to
    watch your sleeping face.
[00:28] Takeru
    Enough to trespass?!
[00:31] Sumika
    Takeru-chan...
[00:37] Takeru
    Hang on a sec!
[00:41] Sumika
    Seriously, Takeru-chan?!
[00:43] Sumika
    How can you be doing this first thing
    in the morning?! It's bad karma!
[02:17] Sumika
    You're so awful! I kept screaming
    and you didn't even notice!
[02:22] Takeru
    I couldn't hear you. Why didn't you
    just come in through the front door?
SIGN    Graduation
[02:26] Sumika
    There was a new door!
[02:29] Meiya
    A-All I did was make a few minor renovations
[02:32] Meiya
    using some prototype materials
    our company has developed.
[02:34] Takeru
    And you weren't trying to lock Sumika out?
[02:37] Meiya
    Of course not!
[02:38] Sumika
    It's unfair! When you play hardball,
    there's nothing I can do, Mitsurugi-san!
[02:44] Meiya
    It wasn't my intention to exclude you, Kagami.
     Takeru simply didn't hear you.
[02:44] Takeru
    This is it. This is what Sumika was like.
[02:47] Takeru
    She had the power to blow all
    my other thoughts away.
[02:48] Sumika
    No fair!
[02:50] Meiya
    Next time, you should be able
    to enter through the front door.
[02:50] Takeru
    It's such a relief that she didn't
    have to deal with the other world.
[02:53] Sumika
    Is something wrong, Takeru-chan?
[02:55] Takeru
    Nah, it's nothing.
[02:57] Sumika
    You're acting weird! It's so sketchy...
[03:00] Takeru
    How, exactly?
[03:01] Takeru
    Aw, crap, we're gonna be late!
[03:02] Sumika
    Wait up, Takeru-chan!
[03:04] Meiya
    Don't leave me behind!
[03:08] Takeru
    How long will I be able
    to stay in my old world?
[03:12] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Between 15 to 18 hours, I'd say.
[03:14] (Flashback) Takeru
    That long?
[03:15] (Flashback) Yuuko
    I wouldn't start celebrating yet.
[03:17] (Flashback) Yuuko
    It's going to be an immense power
    expenditure to transfer you over there.
[03:22] (Flashback) Yuuko
    And the mental burden on Yashiro when we
    bring you back is going to be immeasurable.
[03:27] (Flashback) Kasumi
    It's ready.
[03:29] (Flashback) Yuuko
    You need to treat this like our last shot.
[03:33] (Flashback) Takeru
    Understood!
[03:38] Chizuru
    Good morning.
[03:40] Chizuru
    The three of you are just
    shy of late again, I see.
[03:43] Sumika
    Sakaki-san!
[03:45] Sumika
    Mitsurugi-san was trying to modify
    Takeru-chan with some new stuff she invented!
[03:48] Chizuru
    Wait, what? She's modifying Shirogane-kun?
[03:49] Takeru
    Class Rep was a lot girlier over here.
[03:52] Sumika
    No, his house!
[03:54] Meiya
    I-I did no such thing!
[03:56] Tama
    Good morning!
[03:58] Mikoto
    Takeru-san!
[03:59] Ayamine
    Hey, Takeru!
[04:00] Takeru
    Yo.
[04:01] Tama
    Hey, hey, hey!
[04:03] Takeru
    Morning, Tama, gang.
[04:04] Tama
    Good morning, Takeru-san!
[04:07] Mikoto
    Morning, everyone!
[04:07] Takeru
    School, the classroom, my classmates...
[04:08] Ayamine
    H'lo.
[04:09] Takeru
    A quiet, peaceful world.
[04:12] Takeru
    I used to take it all for granted.
[04:15] Mikoto
    I dunno why, Takeru, but it feels like
    I haven't seen you in three years.
[04:22] Yuuko
    Okay, everyone, in your seats.
[04:25] Yuuko
    Now, what better way to start a Monday
[04:27] Yuuko
    than driving some of you
    into the depths of despair?
[04:32] Yuuko
    Time for test results. When your name
    is called, stand at your desk, please.
[04:36] Yuuko
    Usami.
[04:37] Usami
    Here.

    Here.
[04:49] Yuuko
    I want you to come by the
    physics lab during lunch.
[04:53] Takeru
    Wait, only me?
[04:55] Yuuko
    I don't mind dragging you
    there right now, personally...
[05:00] Takeru
    I understand.
[05:02] Sumika
    That's what he gets for never studying...
[05:05] Chizuru
    Rise.
[05:06] Chizuru
    Bow. Be seated.
SIGN    Physics Laboratory
[05:09] Takeru
    Excuse me.
[05:12] Yuuko
    There you are.
[05:14] Takeru
    I'm here to pick up what we discussed.
[05:17] Yuuko
    Now, what was that again?
[05:23] Takeru
    I need the thing I asked you about, please.
[05:25] Yuuko
    I know. That's why I went out
    of the way to call you over.
[05:29] Yuuko
    What kind of time limit are you dealing with?
[05:31] Takeru
    Ma'am! I was told 15 to 18 hours.
[05:38] Yuuko
    I really am fantastic!
[05:39] Takeru
    Wh-What's going on?
[05:45] Yuuko
    Here you go.
[05:46] Takeru
    More paper documents?
[05:47] Yuuko
    It's not like we had a choice.
    It's the most reliable.
[05:51] Yuuko
    No complaining. Go ahead and take it along.
[05:53] Takeru
    Right.
[05:54] Takeru
    With this, Alternative IV can be completed—
[05:59] Yuuko
    Huh, an actual six-pack.
[06:03] Yuuko
    That's so bizarre.
[06:04] Yuuko
    I wonder how the differences between the
    two versions of you get balanced out.
[06:08] Takeru
    M-Maybe it has to do with
    having a stronger will?
[06:14] Yuuko
    I almost regret letting you go back.
[06:15] Takeru
    Gimme a break here.
[06:17] Yuuko
    I'm just playing.
[06:19] Yuuko
    I had no idea my brainstorming
    would be this kind of useful.
[06:23] Yuuko
    Why don't you run along and save the world,
[06:25] Yuuko
    and when you get back, I'll be waiting
    for an even more interesting story.
[06:28] Takeru
    I swear, once it's all over....
[06:32] Takeru
    I'll be back.
[06:33] Takeru
    I'll come home.
[06:38] Takeru
    I've done everything I needed to do.
[06:42] Takeru
    All that's left is to run out the clock.
[06:46] Mikoto
    Mr. Jizo Statue, I hope you'll forgive me
    for eating your offering so I can get taller—
[06:53] Mikoto
    I guess I shouldn't, huh?
[06:55] Takeru
    There's still time until I have to go back.
[07:02] Takeru
    But if I stay here...
[07:06] Takeru
    There's no telling what kind
    of effect it could have.
[07:14] Takeru
    I'll have to say goodbye for a while.
[07:19] Takeru
    And once I've taken care
    of business, I can see them again.
[07:32] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, you're awake, right?
[07:35] Sumika
    Takeru-chan! Takeru-chan, come on!
[07:39] Takeru
    Sumika?
[07:43] Sumika
    Y'know, Takeru-chan, you were
     acting weird today.
[07:47] Takeru
    I was?
[07:48] Sumika
    Yeah! Even now, it's like you're
    in a mood or something.
[07:52] Sumika
    To be more specific, it's,
    like... pretty different.
[07:56] Takeru
    How is that any more specific?
[07:58] Sumika
    The point is, you're acting weird! Weird!
[08:01] Takeru
    Okay, then. I guess I've been weird.
[08:03] Sumika
    If something's going on, you should tell me.
[08:06] Takeru
    Lately, I've been learning
    from a lot of people.
[08:10] Takeru
    Every one of them has things that they
    care about or want to protect.
[08:14] Takeru
    And because they feel that way,
     they know what they need to do.
[08:17] Takeru
    But I care about so much that's around me...
[08:20] Takeru
    And I never considered what
    I'd do if it was lost or changed.
[08:25] Takeru
    Can you imagine... what life
    would be like without me?
[08:31] Sumika
    I don't think I'd like that at all.
[08:36] Takeru
    I see...
[08:37] Sumika
    What about you? How would
    you feel without me?
[08:42] Takeru
    I... can't imagine life without you
     after all this time, Sumika.
[08:47] Sumika
    What do you... mean by that?
[08:49] Takeru
    Look, let's go to bed.
    You're gonna catch a chill.
[08:52] Sumika
    I'm putting this down in my diary as "had a
     suspicious conversation with Takeru-chan."
[08:56] Takeru
    Don't put it into writing!
[09:00] Sumika
    I hope you feel better soon!
[09:02] Takeru
    I'll be back to normal tomorrow.
[09:04] Sumika
    Well, good night, then!
[09:10] Takeru
    Sumika... I swear I'll come home.
[09:24] Takeru
    I'm...
[09:26] Takeru
    I made it back, then?
[09:28] Yuuko
    You did.
[09:29] Yuuko
    Sorry to cut to the chase,
    but I need to confirm you've got it.
[09:35] Takeru
    Here.
[09:38] Takeru
    I'm back, Kasumi. And thanks
    for getting me here.
[09:42] Yuuko
    Yes! This is it!
[09:45] Yuuko
    This is what I needed!
[09:47] Takeru
    Wh-Why are you hugging me?!
[09:50] Yuuko
    She knew exactly what I needed.
[09:54] Yuuko
    The other me does not disappoint!
[09:58] Takeru
    This means you'll be able to
    finish your research, right?
[10:03] Yuuko
    That's right. Once the 00-Unit is complete,
    Alternative IV can get underway.
[10:09] Yuuko
    You're this world's hero.
[10:12] Takeru
    Now we can avert Alternative V!
[10:16] Takeru
    We can... change the future!
[10:20] Takeru
    Kasumi!
[10:23] Takeru
    You okay?!
[10:25] Yuuko
    Take the rest of the day
    off to get some rest.
[10:27] Yuuko
    Business is going to pick
    up starting tomorrow.
[10:29] Takeru
    Right.
[10:43] Takeru
    It's thanks to your hard work that
    I was able to come back to this world.
[10:50] Takeru
    Thank you.
SIGN    December 9th, 2001 The Next Morning
[10:59] Kasumi
    Good morning.
[11:00] Takeru
    Morning, Kasumi...
[11:03] Takeru
    It's 8:00?!
[11:05] Takeru
    What the hell?! I not only slept through
    wake up call, but I'm totally late!
[11:08] Kasumi
    It's okay. You don't need
    to assemble until 9:00.
[11:12] Takeru
    We're supposed to assemble?

    Was something scheduled?

    Shirogane?!
[11:27] Takeru
    Careful, there. You're gonna
     spill your breakfast.
[11:30] Chizuru
    I'm sorry.
[11:31] Takeru
    Guess I can't blame her.
[11:33] Tama
    Takeru-san! Good morning!
[11:36] Kyozuka
    Is that Takeru? It's been a while!
[11:39] Takeru
    Where are Meiya and Ayamine?
[11:42] Tama
    I think they already ate.
[11:45] Takeru
    And Mikoto's still...
[11:47] Chizuru
    She's not back yet.
[11:49] Takeru
    I see.
SIGN    Gymnasium 8:50
[11:54] Takeru
    It's so dark. Are we at the wrong location?
[11:56] Chizuru
    That can't be.

    Takeru-san!
[12:00] Takeru
    Meiya...
[12:02] Meiya
    Takeru?
[12:03] Meiya
    Have you finished your special mission?
[12:05] Takeru
    Yeah, it's all done.
[12:06] Meiya
    I see.
[12:08] Meiya
    This assembly...
[12:09] Meiya
    Something about it is unsettling.
[12:11] Takeru
    It's fine. I wouldn't worry.
[12:13] Tama
    It's Ayamine-san!
[12:14] Takeru
    Yo.
[12:17] Ayamine
    Yo.
[12:18] Takeru
    What is this supposed to be about, though?
[12:21] Takeru
    Did you hear anything, Class Rep?
[12:22] Chizuru
    No, not a thing.
[12:24] Meiya
    It was only the 207th that
    was summoned, too.
[12:26] Tama
    You think this might be... disciplinary?
[12:29] Mikoto
    You really have no idea?

    Th-That's... the base commander!
[13:01] Takeru
    Is he here to announce Alternative V?!
[13:05] Takeru
    Did I fail to change the future?

    But Alternative V doesn't get
    announced until Christmas.
[13:15] Takeru
    Is it happening sooner?!
[13:18] Marimo
    Salute Commander Radhabinod!
[13:24] Captain
    At ease.
[13:26] Captain
    We will now commence the graduation
    ceremony for the 207th Cadet Flight
[13:32] Captain
    of the UN Pacific 11th Force's Yokohama
    Surface Pilot Training Academy.
[13:36] Chizuru
    He's here for us?
[13:38] Captain
    The base CO will now address you!
[13:39] Marimo
    Attention!
[13:42] Radhabinod
    Today is one you should be proud of.
    You have completed your training curriculum,
[13:44] Radhabinod
    and have now officially
    earned your commissions.
[13:47] Takeru
    We're finally going to be real soldiers!
[13:48] Radhabinod
    The world is in dire need
    of courageous young people.
[13:51] Radhabinod
    In combat, experience is an invaluable
    resource necessary to achieve victory.
[13:58] Radhabinod
    But there is something
    else of equal importance.
[14:01] Radhabinod
    And that is faith in our victory!
[14:05] Radhabinod
    For the first time in the
    history of our species,
[14:08] Radhabinod
    the humans of Earth share
    the bond of common ground.
[14:11] Radhabinod
    Cast your thoughts to your neighbors
    and all those around you.
[14:15] Radhabinod
    Whether or not they have any
    future at all will depend on you.
[14:20] Radhabinod
    It is our duty to ensure that the history of
    mankind is inherited by the next generation!
[14:28] Radhabinod
    Young cadets, it is my belief that you share
    the same sense of justice that we all do.
[14:36] Radhabinod
    I expect you to uphold the
    honor and responsibility
[14:38] Radhabinod
    that comes from standing on the
    front lines of humanity's defense,
[14:40] Radhabinod
    and dedicate everything you have in
    order to seize victory, and our future!
[14:46] Radhabinod
    Finally, I have words of congratulations
[14:49] Radhabinod
    from the ruling shogun of the Empire
    of Japan, Her Majesty, Koubuin Yuuhi.
[14:54] Radhabinod
    Take these words to heart.
[14:58] Takeru
    Her Majesty sent a message for us?
[15:01] Radhabinod
    "I wish to express my appreciation for
    your aid in the recent hardships."
[15:05] Radhabinod
    "Experiencing the intense
    dedication of the young people"
[15:08] Radhabinod
    "who sought to clear away my doubts
    firsthand was a invaluable experience."
[15:14] Radhabinod
    "However, the loss of those
    who will never return"
[15:16] Radhabinod
    "causes sorrow that feels as
    though it could rend my flesh."
[15:23] Yuuhi
    Our forefathers cherished and loved
    this country and it's people,
[15:27] Yuuhi
    and wished for its lasting prosperity.
[15:30] Yuuhi
    Seeing their dreams fulfilled will
    be no small task, to be certain.
[15:35] Yuuhi
    However, when duty is attended to
[15:38] Yuuhi
    hand in hand with one's fellows, there are
    few things that cannot be accomplished.
[15:43] Yuuhi
    It is my sincere wish that you all
    will tread this path of righteousness.
[15:47] Radhabinod
    "Please remember that at all times,
     my thoughts are with you."
[15:52] Takeru
    That last bit... I'm pretty
    sure was for Meiya.
[15:53] Radhabinod
    I want you all to keep in mind
    how you have earned the honor
[15:57] Radhabinod
    of having your promotion acknowledged
    by Her Majesty herself.
[16:01] Radhabinod
    Furthermore, you should know
    that this abrupt promotion
[16:04] Radhabinod
    is in no small part due to
    your remarkable contributions
[16:09] Radhabinod
    in the successful mission
    to rescue the Shogun.
[16:15] Radhabinod
    That is all!
[16:16] Marimo
    Attention!
[16:18] Marimo
    Salute Commander Radhabinod!
[16:22] Captain
    You will now be presented with
    your surface pilot wings.
[16:25] Takeru
    Your Majesty, I won't make
    the same mistake again.
[16:29] Takeru
    I've got what I need now.
[16:33] Takeru
    Soon, we won't need to cower in fear of the
    enemy or fight amongst ourselves anymore.
[16:35] Radhabinod
    Cadet Sakaki Chizuru.
[16:37] Chizuru
    Sir!
[16:39] Takeru
    The time is almost here!
[16:42] Takeru
    Watch us. We're finally becoming
    commissioned officers!
[16:44] Radhabinod
    As of this moment, you are now
    a United Nations Surface Pilot.
[16:48] Radhabinod
    Congratulations, Second Lieutenant.
[16:51] Chizuru
    Thank you, sir!
[16:54] Radhabinod
    Cadet Mitsurugi Meiya.
[16:57] Meiya
    Sir.
[16:58] Takeru
    Even considering how we passed the
    Comprehensive Combat Skill Evaluation,
[17:00] Radhabinod
    As of this moment, you are now
    a United Nations Surface Pilot.
[17:02] Takeru
    there were probably political reasons
    to avoid us being commissioned.
[17:04] Radhabinod
    Congratulations, Second Lieutenant.
[17:06] Meiya
    Thank you, sir!
[17:07] Takeru
    For us to be promoted so suddenly,
    at a time like this...
[17:10] Takeru
    I'm sure how we helped during
    the coup was a factor,
[17:11] Radhabinod
    As of this moment, you are now
    a United Nations Surface Pilot.
[17:12] Takeru
    but it seems a little too convenient.
[17:14] Radhabinod
    Congratulations, Second Lieutenant.
[17:16] Ayamine
    Thank you, sir.
[17:18] Takeru
    I think our squad has lost
    its value as hostages.
[17:21] Takeru
    But... that works for me.
[17:23] Radhabinod
    As of this moment, you are now
    a United Nations Surface Pilot.
[17:24] Takeru
    Our commission, the successful experiment,
    and the retrieval of the professor's theories...
[17:25] Radhabinod
    Congratulations, Second Lieutenant.
[17:27] Mikoto
    Thank you, sir!
[17:28] Takeru
    And the combat-proven
    effectiveness of the new OS.
[17:32] Radhabinod
    As of this moment, you are now
    a United Nations Surface Pilot.
[17:35] Takeru
    What more could I ask for?
[17:37] Radhabinod
    Congratulations, Second Lieutenant.
[17:39] Tama
    Thank you, sir!
[17:42] Radhabinod
    Cadet Shirogane Takeru!
[17:46] Takeru
    Yes, sir!
[17:49] Radhabinod
    As of this moment, you are now
    a United Nations Surface Pilot.
[17:50] Takeru
    In the previous world, I never got to
    feel the weight of these silver wings...
[17:55] Radhabinod
    Congratulations, Second Lieutenant.
[17:58] Takeru
    Yes, sir!
[18:00] Captain
    That completes the surface
    pilot wings presentation.
[18:03] Radhabinod
    Work hard out there.
[18:04] Captain
    Attention!
[18:05] Captain
    Salute Commander Radhabinod!
[18:09] Captain
    The 207th Cadet Flight's graduation
    ceremony is hereby concluded.
[18:16] Marimo
    207th Cadet Flight, dismissed!
[18:18] Chizuru
    Thank you, ma'am!
[18:20] Everyone
    Thank you, ma'am!
[18:24] Captain
    This is your schedule for the afternoon.
[18:26] Captain
    You're to assemble in
    briefing room #7 at 13:00.
[18:29] Captain
    You'll receive details on your assignments,
[18:32] Captain
    how to procure your uniforms,
    and other logistical matters.
[18:33] Takeru
    I guess we don't have any reason
    to be around Marimo-chan anymore.
[18:36] Captain
    That is all!
[18:39] Takeru
    This must be the last time I'll get to wear
    this white surface pilot cadet uniform.
[18:43] Chizuru
    Thank you, Shirogane.
[18:45] Takeru
    Class Rep...
[18:46] Takeru
    Thanks.
[18:47] Tama
    Takeru!
[18:49] Tama
    I'm... I'm so...
[18:51] Takeru
    Come on, you don't need to cry that much.
[18:54] Mikoto
    Seriously, thanks for everything, Takeru!
[18:57] Ayamine
    Look at them, fawning over you.
[19:00] Takeru
    Meiya...
[19:02] Takeru
    I appreciate everything.
[19:05] Meiya
    Don't be ridiculous.
[19:06] Takeru
    I've learned a lot from you.
[19:09] Meiya
    No... I...
[19:10] Meiya
    I want to be strong, like you.
[19:16] Takeru
    Thanks.
[19:18] Takeru
    Guys, there's one thing left for us to do.
[19:23] Marimo
    I'm not protecting them anymore.
    They'll be going into battle as soldiers.
[19:28] Marimo
    This is for the best, right?
[19:31] 207th
    Sergeant Jinguuji!
[19:33] Chizuru
    Sergeant... well...
[19:35] Marimo
    Congratulations on
    your promotions, Lieutenants!
[19:39] Chizuru
    Lieutenants?
[19:40] Takeru
    That's right. We outrank her now.
[19:44] Chizuru
    Sergeant, you've helped me
    more than you can ever know!
[19:47] Chizuru
    I will never forget how much I owe you!
[19:50] Marimo
    Lieutenant, I'm an NCO.
[19:54] Marimo
    You don't need to be so polite with me.
[19:59] Meiya
    You have my most sincere
    thanks for your tutelage.
[20:02] Mikoto
    I'm really grateful to you for
    helping me make it this far!
[20:06] Ayamine
    Thank you for all you've done, Sergeant.
[20:10] Tama
    Instructor Jinguuji!
[20:17] Tama
    I'm so... so....
[20:20] Marimo
    I understand how you feel.
[20:23] Marimo
    Please, don't worry about me.
[20:26] Tama
    Right.
[20:29] Takeru
    Sergeant...
[20:31] Takeru
    I will always be proud that you
    were the one who instructed me.
[20:35] Takeru
    Without you, I wouldn't be
    standing here right now.
[20:39] Marimo
    I'm honored, Lieutenant.
[20:41] Marimo
    But you were always a
    remarkable individual, sir.
[20:44] Marimo
    I did not contribute that much.
[20:46] Takeru
    Except that's not true, Marimo-chan.
[20:49] Takeru
    You were the one who built me up
    this much in the last world!
[20:53] Takeru
    You made me into a true surface pilot!
[20:56] Takeru
    Even so, you're the one who made
    me the man I am, Marimo-chan.
[21:02] Marimo
    I don't mind you calling me "Marimo-chan"
    if that is your preference, sir,
[21:06] Marimo
    but considering regulations, I think
    "Sergeant Jinguuji" might be advisable.
[21:12] Takeru
    I'll take it under consideration.
[21:13] Marimo
    Sir!
[21:16] Marimo
    Please do, Lieutenant!

[00:05] Yuuko
    Congratulations on your promotion.
[00:07] Takeru
    Thank you, ma'am.
[00:09] Yuuko
    Moving forward, once you've
    finished tomorrow's exercise,
[00:12] Yuuko
    you'll be assigned to A-01, a special unit
    directly under the Yokohama Base's command.
[00:19] Takeru
    Um... what exercise?
[00:23] Yuuko
    One I've got big hopes for.
SIGN    December 11th, 2001
[00:27] Kasumi
    Good morning, Lieutenant.
[00:34] Takeru
    Thanks. But I want you to treat
    me the same as ever, okay, Kasumi?
[00:39] Kasumi
    Sir. Yes, sir.
[00:51] Chizuru
    We all actually ended up
    in the same unit...
[00:54] Tama
    And after that tearful goodbye!
[00:56] Marimo
    Excuse me.
[00:58] Tama
    Sergeant!
[01:00] Marimo
    Allow me to brief you all on the
    trial you'll be participating in.
[01:05] Marimo
    The purpose of this exercise
[01:07] Marimo
    is to compare the proof-of-concept
    prototype of the next-gen OS, XM3,
[01:13] Marimo
    against the current release
    candidate version.
[01:16] Marimo
    Flights composed of elite pilots
[01:19] Marimo
    representing different TSF units
    from the base will be participating.
[01:25] Takeru
    This trial will decide whether or not
    the OS we created gets adopted.
[01:25] Marimo
    To put it simply, it's going to
    be a battle between the flights.
[01:31] Marimo
    Additionally, the other units have been made
    aware of Lieutenant Shirogane's participation
[01:36] Marimo
    as the original architect of XM3.
[01:39] Marimo
    I should add that the aggressor force for
    the exercise will consist exclusively
[01:44] Marimo
    of veteran TSF pilots who have flown
    over twenty combat missions.
[01:47] Tama
    That sounds kind of like
    they'll be gunning for us!
[01:51] Mikoto
    It's not gonna be easy.
[01:52] Chizuru
    Can we convince a bunch of vets who are
    used to the old OS of the new one's benefits?
[01:57] Chizuru
    How we win will be just
    as important as winning.
[02:01] Takeru
    It sounds like fun.
[02:03] Takeru
    I mean, we've already survived an actual
    combat mission against a bunch of aces!
[02:07] Takeru
    Let's show these old-timers what we can do!
[02:09] Mikoto
    Takeru!
[02:11] Meiya
    It's as you say.
[02:13] Meiya
    And we can hardly let the
    other flights outperform us.
[02:18] Takeru
    Okay, let's do this!
[02:20] Girls
    Yeah!
[02:22] Takeru
    What's going to happen when battle-proven
    veterans are given the new OS?
[02:25] Takeru
    And how well can we perform against them?
[02:28] Takeru
    I want to see.
[02:30] OS
    XM3 online.
[02:34] Takeru
    It's got sound now?
[02:48] Takeru
    They're veterans for a reason.
[02:49] Takeru
    This won't be easy.
[02:55] Takeru
    It's hard to believe we're
    up against Gekishins!
[02:58] Mikoto
    Takeru?
[02:59] Takeru
    I'm okay!
[02:59] Takeru
    Let me handle this one!
[03:03] Takeru
    Come on, asshole!
[03:08] Takeru
    They dodged that?! Can't let them get away!
[03:11] Takeru
    Ayamine!
[03:13] Ayamine
    Bandit-1 in range! Engaging offensively!
[03:17] Takeru
    Good!
[03:17] Takeru
    Once you've got him on the ropes,
    pull back to this clearing!
[03:21] Takeru
    I'll circle around for the kill!
[03:23] Ayamine
    Roger that.
[03:42] Takeru
    Now!
[03:44] UN Pilot 1
    I don't think so!
[03:46] Takeru
    How about this?!
[03:49] UN Pilot 1
    That's... impossible!
[03:52] Takeru
    Got you!
[03:57] Takeru
    An A rating?
[03:59] Ayamine
    The best anyone else managed was a B-.
[04:02] Takeru
    I guess this shows we've got a handle on the
    new version of the OS, even in its first use.
[04:06] Takeru
    Everything's going according
    to Yuuko-sensei's plan.
[04:10] Takeru
    Kind of a shame, though, y'know?
[04:13] Takeru
    We had a harder time than I figured.
[04:15] Takeru
    I mean, imagine if we had
    totally dominated them!
[04:19] Mikoto
    You really are something, Takeru.
[04:22] Mikoto
    I mean, we were up against a team of aces!
[04:25] Mikoto
    Forget having a hard time, most
    people would be totally helpless!
[04:28] Takeru
    Still, we're just out of training and
    managed to hold off these veterans,
[04:34] Takeru
    and even wipe them out!
[04:36] Takeru
    Is it really that weird to wish
    we could've done even better?
[04:40] Ayamine
    How we win is important.
[04:41] Takeru
    Exactly!
[04:43] Takeru
    The new OS has a lot of potential.
[04:46] Takeru
    Enough to maybe turn the tide of the war.
[04:49] Takeru
    Let's aim for total victory
    out there this afternoon!
[04:51] Charlie
    Are you Shirogane from A-207?
[04:55] Takeru
    He must be from the aggressor unit.
[05:00] Takeru
    That's me, Lieutenant.
[05:02] Charlie
    Come with me for a chat.
    Don't worry, it won't take long.
[05:06] Ayamine
    Shirogane...
[05:07] Takeru
    Sorry. Go join up with
    the others ahead of me.
[05:12] Mikoto
    Takeru...
[05:20] Charlie
    All right, here he is.
[05:23] Bandanna
    Huh, this is Shirogane?
[05:26] Myung
    Sure doesn't look like the top of his class.
[05:29] Dread
    Hell, I'm having trouble believing
    he can even fly a TSF.
[05:35] Takeru
    What is this?
[05:36] Bandanna
    So, Lieutenant Shirogane, I hear
    you're the one behind the new OS?
[05:43] Takeru
    I am unable to share any
     information between flights,
[05:45] Takeru
    to avoid any effect it could
    have on the evaluation.
[05:50] Charlie
    Get a load of this guy!
[05:52] Charlie
    Love that rookie energy.
[05:54] Dread
    You've still gotta answer a superior
    officer's questions, though.
[05:57] Dread
    So, how about it?
[05:59] Takeru
    Yes, it was me.
[06:12] Charlie
    Hell of a thing you did, kid!
[06:14] Myung
    We're trying to say that
    your brain is awesome!
[06:16] Bandanna
    I seriously can't imagine how
    you thought some of this stuff up.
[06:20] Dread
    If this thing gets adopted,
    people are gonna go nuts!
[06:24] Takeru
    U-Uh... is the new OS really that useful?
[06:28] Charlie
    A buncha baby rookies managed
    to take us on and win!
[06:32] Charlie
    What better proof could there be?
[06:36] Charlie
    What's wrong? Aren't you happy?
[06:38] Takeru
    I-It's not that...
[06:40] Takeru
    I just didn't expect the OS I created
    to be... welcomed like this.
[06:45] Dread
    Why would you think that?
    We're out to get the BETA, not you.
[06:51] Myung
    It doesn't matter how long
    you've been in the fight,
[06:53] Myung
    if you've got what it takes,
    then you'll be a big help.
[06:56] Myung
    Who wouldn't appreciate that?
[06:57] Banadanna
    Have you ever thought about how this new
    OS of yours might even save the human race?
[07:02] Charlie
    You've earned the right to be proud.
[07:04] Dread
    Catch you later, genius.
[07:06] Myung
    Don't expect to win the
    afternoon trial, though.
[07:09] Myung
    Get ready to lose.
[07:11] Charlie
    Okay, let's do this.
[07:11] Bandanna
    Better get it together, okay?
[07:13] Myung
    I'm not going down without a fight!
[07:14] Dread
    Oh, yeah!
[07:15] Takeru
    Everything I've done...
    wasn't for nothing.
[07:19] Takeru
    It really wasn't!
[07:25] Chizuru
    01 to 02, move forward to the tower at H-23.
[07:28] Chizuru
    06, cover her.
[07:30] Meiya
    02, roger that.
[07:31] Shirogane
    06, roger that.
[07:32] Comms
    02 and 06 are moving through H-21.
    3,000 meters until contact with aggressor force.
[07:39] Takeru
    We can do this!
[07:41] Takeru
    Between the new OS and
    my skills as a pilot...
[07:45] Takeru
    I might finally be able to save the world!
[07:51] Takeru
    I've got a ping on my sonic sensor.
    They're trying to circle around us.
[07:53] Chizuru
    Stay on your toes, 02.
[07:55] Meiya
    I'm going to try and draw them away.
[07:56] Meiya
    Keep an eye out for other units.
[07:58] Takeru
    06, copy that.
[07:59] Chizuru
    06, continue providing cover for 02.
[08:01] Chizuru
    I'll try to pincer them
    from the other direction.
[08:02] Takeru
    06, copy that.
[08:04] Takeru
    01, keep your eyes peeled.
    Make sure to stay behind—
[08:09] Takeru
    What was that? An explosion?
[08:10] Chizuru
    It was over in area 2.
[08:13] Meiya
    This wasn't supposed to
    be a live-fire exercise.
[08:16] Meiya
    Is it an accident?
[08:18] Takeru
    It happened again.
[08:19] Takeru
    Should we keep going?
[08:21] Chizuru
    I'll call and find out.
[08:25] Chizuru
    A Code 991?!
[08:27] Meiya
    That's... It can't be...
[08:28] Takeru
    But... why?
[08:31] Takeru
    What the hell are the BETA doing here?!
[08:36] Hornet 1
    This is Hornet 1 to headquarters!
[08:38] Hornet 1
    Requesting permission to
    return to the hanger!
[08:40] Sword 1
    Sword 1 to headquarters!
    We need artillery support—
[08:45] Takeru
    This is a BETA attack?
[08:47] Takeru
    This is what humanity's enemies can do?
[08:49] Radio chatter
    Pull back to the hanger!
[08:50] Takeru
    What is this? Why are you
    getting beat so easily?
[08:51] Radio chatter
    I'm not getting any confirmation—
[08:55] Takeru
    You're combat veterans, right?
    And you've got my OS, too?
[08:59] Takeru
    You have to do better than this!
[09:05] Bandanna
    Shark 1 to headquarters, rendezvous complete.
[09:08] Bandanna
    I'm integrating the A-207
    flight under my command.
[09:11] HQ
    Copy that. A combat-ready team
    is on their way with weapons.
[09:14] HQ
    Stand by.
[09:15] Bandanna
    Shark 1, copy that.
[09:17] Bandanna
    The faster, the better!
[09:18] Bandanna
    You heard HQ! You guys need
    to fall back to the rear!
[09:20] Bandanna
    Shark 1 and Shark 2 will take point!
[09:23] Chizuru
    Everyone... No, 01 to all 207th units,
     commence withdrawal.
[09:28] Meiya
    02, roger.
[09:30] Ayamine

[09:35] Takeru
    06... roger that.
[09:37] Bandanna
    Shark 1 to headquarters, the rookies
     need some encouragement.
[09:41] Bandanna
    Requesting authorization.
[09:42] HQ
    Copy that. Permission granted.
[09:44] Bandanna
    Okay, A-207 units, connect to
     the encrypted channel.
[09:49] Recorded Audio
    O soldiers under the rain of blood,
    the black mist, the night rainbow.
[09:54] Takeru
    This is the posthypnotic trigger...
[09:55] Recorded Audio
    O soldiers whose souls are guided by the
    white water's surface, the drops of the moon.
[10:02] Recorded Audio
    Sing the praises of those names
    carved into a steel grave,
[10:08] Recorded Audio
    and sound all thousand bells
    on this rotting land.
[10:13] Recorded Audio
    May we all one day go with joy to the
    promised land of death and victory.
[10:16] Bandanna
    Next comes the stim. Try to relax.
[10:20] Bandanna
    Treatment complete.
[10:22] Bandanna
    Welcome to hell, rookie lieutenants.
[10:25] Takeru
    I could've done without all this.
[10:28] Takeru
    But now I can get back to it...
[10:32] Takeru
    Lieutenant Shirogane, the hero,
    is back in action!
[10:35] Bandanna
    Your unit was able to push us pretty
    hard during the combat exercise.
[10:39] Bandanna
    Have some faith in yourselves!
    All units, got that?!
[10:41] A-207
    Yes, ma'am!
[10:42] Bandanna
    Then I want your flight to head
    towards the hanger and come back here
[10:45] Bandanna
    with all the live ammo you can carry!
[10:47] Bandanna
    We're going to hold this spot until then!
[10:49] Takeru
    Lieutenant, I thought they were
    going to bring the weapons to us?!
[10:55] Charlie
    Are you really dumb enough to take what
    HQ says at face value at a time like this?!
[10:58] Charlie
    Emergencies mean thinking with
    your own head and judgment!
[11:01] Takeru
    Then we should all fall back
    to the hanger together!
[11:04] Takeru
    Splitting our force at a time
    like this is too dangerous!
[11:06] Charlie
    Someone has to hold this spot!
[11:09] Takeru
    Are you saying we wouldn't be any help?!
[11:12] Chizuru
    Shirogane, what are you doing?!
[11:12] Takeru
    At least we're not in Gekishins!
[11:14] Bandanna
    What the hell did you learn in the academy?
[11:17] Bandanna
    Don't you get the logistics?
[11:19] Bandanna
    You're retrieving the ammo because
    you're more maneuverable!
[11:22] Takeru
    What's that supposed to mean?
    In the end, they still treat us like rookies!
[11:25] Takeru
    You think you're hot shit?!
    We could buy way more time than you!
[11:29] Takeru
    We're not like you losers,
    who got your asses kicked!
[11:33] Charlie
    We don't have time for this stupid debate!
[11:36] Charlie
    If any Laser-class show up, we're all dead!
[11:38] Takeru
    But—
[11:39] Meiya
    Takeru, enough!
[11:40] Tama
    Takeru-san, you have to calm down!
[11:41] Takeru
    All of them getting on my last
    damn nerve! Shut the hell up!
[11:45] Charlie
    Get moving, now! That's an order!
[11:47] Takeru
    Roger that!
[11:48] Chizuru
    01 to all units, formation Delta 2!
[11:51] Chizuru
    Proceed to the hanger, but keep
    an eye out for any pursuers!
[11:54] All 207th
    Roger that!
[11:56] Takeru
    God damn it, what the hell am I doing?
[11:58] Takeru
    They got me pumped up on hypnosis
    and drugs just to run errands?!
[12:02] Takeru
    I'm better than this! I am!
    I am better than this!
[12:07] XM3
    Warning, warning, warning, warning...
[12:14] Chizuru
    All units, scatter! Full speed evasion!
[12:16] Chizuru
    Head for the hanger!
[12:18] All 207th
    Roger that!
[12:21] Chizuru
    06?
[12:22] Takeru
    There you bastards are!
[12:26] Takeru
    Out of my way!
[12:28] Chizuru
    Shirogane?!
[12:29] Meiya
    This is bad... the stimulant
    is affecting him adversely!
[12:33] Shirogane
    Son of a bitch! You're dead!
[12:37] Shirogane
    I'll kill you all!
[12:42] Chizuru
    You can't fight them without real ammo!
[12:45] Shirogane
    Damn it, why won't they die?!
[12:48] Shirogane
    It's because of you! Shit! Shit!
[12:54] Shirogane
    Get off of Earth!
[12:56] Shirogane
    Give us...
[12:58] Shirogane
    our lives back!

[13:04] Mikoto
    Takeru!
[13:06] Meiya
    Everyone, hurry to the hanger!

    Sakaki, I need 06's command authorization!
[13:10] Meiya
    I'll deal with him!
[13:16] Meiya
    Don't do anything rash until
    the sedative takes effect!
[13:19] Takeru
    I'm not gonna lose to you bastards!
[13:23] Takeru
    I'm gonna save the Earth!
[13:34] Takeru
    It's gonna take...
[13:35] Takeru
    more than that to stop—
[13:45] Takeru
    Shit, what now?! Move! Move,
    damn it! I'm gonna die!
[13:49] Takeru
    Move, move, move!
[13:51] Takeru
    I can't die in a place like this! Not now!
[13:59] Takeru
    Are the monitors down?
[14:12] Takeru
    Am I actually going to die here?
[14:15] Takeru
    Weren't things going great a second ago?
[14:19] Takeru
    I haven't saved humanity yet...
     and Alternative IV...
[14:26] Takeru
    I mean, come on! Yuuko-sensei still
    needs my help! And the new OS!
[14:36] Takeru
    Sumika... I still haven't seen Sumika...
[14:42] Takeru
    It doesn't make any sense!
    Dying without seeing Sumika...
[14:46] Takeru
    It's just wrong!
[14:53] Takeru
    I don't wanna die... No...
[14:56] Takeru
    I don't wanna die! I don't
    wanna die! I don't wanna die!
[15:02] Takeru
    Someone! Anyone! Save me!
[15:15] Bandanna
    Shark 1 to headquarters.
[15:17] Bandanna
    BETA mop-up in Areas 2 and 3 is complete.
[15:20] HQ
    Copy that. Have the remains disposed of ASAP.
[15:33] Tama
    Takeru-san's been sitting
    there for a long time.
[15:37] Chizuru
    Let's give him some space.
[15:40] Chizuru
    If that were me over there, I think
    Shirogane would say the same thing.
[15:45] Meiya
    The same thing could've
    happened to any of us.
[15:54] Chizuru
    Come on.
[15:55] Chizuru
    The best thing we can do for Shirogane
    is to act like nothing happened,
[15:58] Chizuru
    once he gets back.
[16:17] Marimo
    Lieutenant Shirogane...
[16:20] Marimo
    Have you calmed down some?
[16:24] Takeru
    Please, leave me alone.
[16:30] Marimo
    Gotta say, you really got your butt kicked.
[16:33] Marimo
    Surviving something like this
    is honestly impressive.
[16:39] Marimo
    I saw the record from your unit.
[16:41] Marimo
    You managed to stall several BETA
    with nothing more than TSF maneuvers.
[16:45] Marimo
    The 207th was able to deliver weapons
    to the frontline thanks to that.
[16:50] Marimo
    If it wasn't for you—
[16:52] Takeru
    Please, don't.
[16:54] Takeru
    I... I was so deluded.
[16:57] Takeru
    I thought I was going to be the
    big shot who saved humanity.
[17:02] Takeru
    But... when the BETA actually showed up,
     I freaked out and was so scared.
[17:10] Takeru
    And without even realizing it.
    I thought I could still fight.
[17:13] Takeru
    But it was so obvious to the vets...
[17:16] Takeru
    Not only did they use the post-hypnotic cue, but the stimulants, too.
[17:21] Takeru
    And the way I overreacted to that...
[17:25] Takeru
    I was shouting about how I was going to kill
     the BETA when I was shooting paint balls!
[17:29] Takeru
    How much of a joke is that?!
[17:33] Takeru
    If I had died, I might've been a hero.
[17:38] Takeru
    But I didn't want to die.
[17:43] Takeru
    When the lights went out in the cockpit,
    all I could do is cry while I pissed myself.
[17:49] Takeru
    I'm just a coward!
[17:53] Marimo
    I don't think there's anything
    wrong with being a coward.
[17:59] Marimo
    People who understand fear
    become more sensitive to death.
[18:04] Marimo
    And when people sense their death coming,
[18:07] Marimo
    they can dedicate all they have left to
    making sure their death is one to be proud of.
[18:13] Marimo
    But...
[18:14] Marimo
    If there's something you can
    accomplish with your life,
[18:16] Marimo
    you have a responsibility to see it through.
[18:23] Marimo
    It doesn't matter if you're a coward.
    You don't have to be considered brave.
[18:27] Marimo
    I'd rather you live as many decades as you can,
     protecting as many people as you can.
[18:33] Marimo
    And in the very end,
[18:36] Marimo
    as long as you can show what makes you strong,
     Shirogane, that's good enough.
[18:43] Takeru
    But... I...
[18:46] Marimo
    Y'know, when I was a cadet,
    I worked hard like you.
[18:51] Marimo
    Thanks to that, I was put in charge
    of a squadron once I was commissioned.
[18:55] Marimo
    I was ready for a fight when
    I headed to the front lines.
[18:58] Marimo
    I thought I could handle anything.
[19:03] Marimo
    But... the results were a mess.
[19:08] Marimo
    The operation failed, and in my confusion,
[19:11] Marimo
    I got my subordinates—the classmates
    I had trained with—all killed.
[19:17] Marimo
    At first, I tried to distract myself
    from how bitter I felt by fighting.
[19:23] Marimo
    But over time... I started fighting
    while thinking about what it meant
[19:27] Marimo
    that I was the one to survive.
[19:31] Takeru
    What it meant?
[19:33] Marimo
    I wanted to put my experience to use
[19:36] Marimo
    to help as many pilots
    live for as long as possible.
[19:39] Marimo
    I think that's the reason I survived...
[19:42] Marimo
    The purpose I found in my survival.
[19:46] Marimo
    Because there's no other way I can make
    it up to my comrades, who didn't make it.
[19:53] Takeru
    Marimo-chan...
[19:55] Marimo
    Shirogane, here's something interesting:
[20:02] Marimo
    In my first battle... I wet myself, too.
[20:08] Marimo
    Just a little though, okay?
    Don't let your imagination run wild.
[20:12] Takeru
    Why would you tell me that?
[20:14] Marimo
    Because it's the same way for everyone.
[20:17] Marimo
    Probably the rest of your flight, too.
[20:19] Marimo
    You don't have to forgive
    yourself right now.
[20:23] Marimo
    But by the time you're able to laugh
    while talking about your failures,
[20:28] Marimo
    I think you'll have found
    what it is that you're missing.
[20:32] Marimo
    Oh, but don't tell the
    others about this, okay?
[20:33] Takeru
    Marimo-chan... thank you so much.
[20:36] Marimo
    I'm a lady, after all.
[20:36] Takeru
    I'm so pathetic.
[20:39] Takeru
    I thought I had my head on straight,
    but then got conceited... and then depressed.
[20:44] Takeru
    It might not be right away,
    but I promise, I will do it.
[20:49] Takeru
    I'll get my act together.
[20:51] Takeru
    It might take a while, but some day,
[20:55] Takeru
    I'll get over this like you did—

[02:56] Takeru
    This didn't happen before.
[03:00] Takeru
    Is it because I changed the future?
[03:03] Takeru
    Is that why Marimo-chan died?!
[03:18] Meiya
    Might I bother you for a moment?
[03:24] Takeru
    Yeah... come in.
[03:31] Meiya
    You seem calmer. That's a relief.
[03:35] Meiya
    You've become the core of our group.
[03:40] Meiya
    We'd only grow more worried
    if you were truly shaken.
[03:49] Meiya
    We have great expectations for you.
[03:52] Meiya
    With that being the case, you have an
    obligation, a duty, to repay that trust.
[03:56] Takeru
    So I don't even have freedom of choice?
[04:00] Meiya
    That's the fate of those born into privilege.
[04:03] Meiya
    Mistakes may come, but you need
    only succeed the next time.
[04:07] Takeru
    The next time?
[04:10] Meiya
    Sergeant Jinguuji's death is a tragedy,
[04:13] Meiya
    but it's not something you
    should feel responsible for.
[04:17] Meiya
    It was simply destiny.
[04:20] Meiya
    For those who have fallen in
    pursuit of mankind's victory,
[04:24] Meiya
    I believe that those who yet live have
    a duty to make that victory reality.
[04:28] Takeru
    Good for you.
[04:29] Meiya
    You chose to be in this position,
    of your own free will.
[04:32] Takeru
    Are you kidding me?!
[04:34] Takeru
    What the hell do you know?!
[04:36] Takeru
    I've been taken away from Sumika, drafted into
     an army... Freedom doesn't enter into it!
[04:39] Takeru
    Who in the hell would willingly
    choose to deal with this insanity?!
[04:43] Takeru
    I'm not like you! You're here
     because you want to be!
[04:52] Takeru
    That's not right... Meiya was
    offered up as a hostage.
[04:58] Takeru
    Why aren't you fighting back?
[05:00] Meiya
    If it would make you feel better...
[05:05] Meiya
    I beg you. Get through this.
[05:07] Marimo
    Get through this.

[05:42] Takeru
    I don't want to be here anymore.
    Can you send me back to my world?

    What's wrong? You're the

[05:51] Takeru
    You should come too! It's great
    over there! There's no BETA!

    keep me locked up in this hell, too?

    You look absolutely crazed. It's pathetic.
[06:14] Yuuko
    If you want to go home,
    you should've come to me first.

    But you weren't in your office, sensei!
[06:21] Yuuko
    Whining like a child. Unbelievable.
[06:24] Takeru
    How are you so calm about this?!
    Wasn't Marimo-chan your friend?
[06:29] Takeru
    I thought you had her working
    in the training school
[06:31] Takeru
    because she was a friend that you trusted!
[06:33] Yuuko
    I did it because Marimo was talented.
[06:37] Yuuko
    And that's the only reason.
[06:39] Takeru
    How can you say that?!

[06:58] Yuuko
    Remember, 24 hours after Yashiro stops
    perceiving you, you're never coming back.
[07:03] Takeru
    I understand.
[07:05] Yuuko
    One last warning:
[07:07] Yuuko
    You need to constantly be aware of
    the other world once you're there.
[07:10] Yuuko
    You'll only be manifesting over there
[07:12] Yuuko
    through the combination of their
    perception of you and your own will.
[07:15] Yuuko
    If either of those wavers,
    Shirogane Takeru might cease to exist.

[15:44] Headmaster
    Jinguuji-sensei graduated from this school,
[15:48] Headmaster

[15:51] Headmaster
    she was always cheerful, kind,

[15:56] Headmaster

    What am I supposed to do?
[16:08] Yuuko
    What do you suppose Marimo was thinking
    about before she was killed?
[16:13] Yuuko
    I can guarantee you one thing:
    She didn't blame you, Shirogane.
[16:17] Takeru
    Sensei...
[16:18] Yuuko
    I know that you're sad, too.
[16:21] Yuuko

[16:56] Yuuko
    I'll help you as much as I can,

    but you're the one that needs to
    do something about this, Shirogane.
[17:02] Yuuko
    All anyone else can ever do is
    kick us in the right direction.
[17:06] Takeru
    Sensei...
[17:07] Yuuko
    You need to be strong.
    It's the only thing you can do.

    Marimo-chan died because of me.
[17:19] Takeru
    Then... should I have stayed there?
[17:23] Takeru
    I never asked for any of this!
[17:29] Takeru
    It's been over 24 hours already.
[17:33] Takeru
    I can't let anyone else be killed.

    abandoning the other world.

    Takeru-chan, where have you gone?
[17:45] Meiya
    Shall we look for him?
[17:47] Sumika
    I'm honestly kind of scared. It feels
    like he might just... disappear.

    You felt that as well?
[17:56] Yuuko
    Kagami, I need to talk to you for a sec.
[18:06] Meiya
    I see you're awake. School is over already.
[18:10] Takeru
    Yeah...
[18:11] Meiya
    I doubt sleeping in a place
    like this is very restful.

    should try to feel better.
[18:20] Takeru
    Did you need something?
[18:23] Meiya
    Well...
[18:24] Meiya
    I was waiting in the classroom
    with Kagami for you,
[18:26] Meiya
    when Instructor Kouzuki came by.
[18:28] Meiya
    She took Kagami with her.
[18:30] Takeru
    She did?
[18:32] Meiya
    She said something strange to me.
[18:36] Meiya
    To stay away from you.
[18:39] Takeru
    Y'know, the day it happened, I went
    to a restaurant with Marimo-chan.
[18:44] Meiya
    Is that right? I hadn't heard.
[18:48] Takeru
    The killer saw us... and...

    I see. So Mitsurugi's
    memories just disappeared?
SIGN    Diary
[02:50] Yuuko
    It seems information about this world's Shirogane
    has a way to flow into the other world, like a pipe.
[02:55] Yuuko
    The two worlds are exchanging causality
     information, using you as a reference.
[02:59] Yuuko
    And awareness of you acts as a trigger to
    send information through that pipe.
[03:04] Yuuko
    Think about when you came in here.
[03:07] Yuuko
    First, I perceived that someone
    had entered the room.
[03:10] Yuuko
    Here, the pipe's sensor activates.
[03:12] Yuuko
    But "someone is in the room" isn't important
    enough information to trigger the sensor.
[03:17] Yuuko
    When I realize that person is you, however,
[03:20] Yuuko
    that information is sent
    through the pipe.
[03:23] Yuuko
    And what happens then?
[03:25] Takeru
    You won't be able to recognize
    that it's me anymore.
[03:28] Yuuko
    And there you have it.
[03:29] Yuuko
    That's the mechanism behind her amnesia.
[03:32] Yuuko
    As Mitsurugi was thinking about
    where to go with you today,
[03:35] Yuuko
    she ended up losing her memories about you.
[03:40] Takeru
    This is awful. How can this be possible?!
[03:43] Yuuko
    I hate to break it to you,
    but it's going to get even worse.
[03:47] Yuuko
    The more interaction you have
    with acquaintances of yours,
[03:51] Yuuko
    the sooner they'll be
    unable to recognize you.
[03:57] Yuuko
    And once that happens to everyone
    who used to know you...
[04:02] Takeru
    I-It'll be okay. I can always become friends
    with them again, and then they'll—
[04:08] Yuuko
    That won't work.
[04:10] Yuuko
    You can try to rebuild the relationships,
[04:12] Yuuko
    but the second their memories of you
    become active, the pipe will send them away.
[04:16] Yuuko
    And the deeper the relationship,
[04:18] Yuuko
    the more you risk bringing
    unpredictable causality their way.
[04:20] Yuuko
    Like what happened with Marimo.
[04:23] Takeru
    You mean to say I'm gonna have to live out
    my life alone, with no one knowing who I am?!
[04:30] Takeru
    Why is this happening to me?!
[04:34] Takeru
    I'm as insignificant as a pebble.
[04:38] Takeru
    I've only made it this far because there
    were other people who acknowledged me.
[04:43] Takeru
    But now?
[04:47] Takeru
    S-Sumika?!
[04:48] Sumika
    Y'know, I called you yesterday!
[04:51] Sumika
    Why didn't you call me back?
[04:54] Sumika
    Come on, Takeru-chan!
[04:56] Takeru
    Go home.
[04:57] Takeru
    Stay away from me!
[04:59] Sumika
    What are you saying?
    Don't be mean, Takeru-chan.
[05:02] Takeru
    It doesn't matter! Just go!
[05:04] Takeru
    I don't wanna see you anymore!
    And don't talk to me at night!
[05:07] Sumika
    Wh-What's wrong, Takeru-chan?
    Why are you so mad all of a sudden?
[05:12] Takeru
    I said stay away from me, damn it!

    I... hate you!
[05:18] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, you jerk!
[05:22] Takeru
    It's better this way. If the alternative
    is Sumika forgetting all about me...
[05:28] Takeru
    How the hell is this better?!
[05:37] Takeru
    I... Why...
[05:43] Takeru
    What is that?
[05:46] Takeru
    It's warm.
[05:50] Takeru
    You!
[05:51] Sumika
    Hey. Good morning.
[05:53] Takeru
    Why?!
[05:54] Sumika
    It's cold outside. You really
    should be more careful.
[05:58] Takeru
    These are the mittens I gave
    Sumika a long time ago.
[06:01] Sumika
    You really oughta apologize, y'know?
[06:04] Sumika
    What you said really hurt.
[06:07] Takeru
    I told you to leave me be!
[06:11] Sumika
    Look, did I do something wrong?
[06:14] Sumika
    Something to make you hate me?
[06:19] Sumika
    Just say it! I can't understand
    unless you talk to me!
[06:23] Takeru
    I could tell you, and you still wouldn't!
[06:25] Sumika
    Yes, I would!
[06:26] Sumika
    Because it's about you!
[06:29] Takeru
    You couldn't possibly understand!
[06:30] Sumika
    I could!
[06:31] Sumika
    I will understand!
    I'll stay with you until I do!
[06:35] Sumika
    I'm not going anywhere!
[06:38] Takeru
    You... are so stupid.
[06:41] Takeru
    Seriously...
[06:43] Sumika
    That's right! You've known
    that for a long time!
[06:47] Sumika
    Because we've been together for so long...
[06:51] Sumika
    And if it's about you, I swear,
    I'll be able to understand!
[06:59] Takeru
    Sumika...
[07:04] BG Kid 1
    Come on, when do I get a turn?
[07:04] BG Kid 1
    And so the OS I came up with
    for the TSFs was doing great,
[07:08] BG Kid 2
    No way! I'm not done yet.
[07:08] BG Kid 1
    and in the first exercise,
     we were able to beat veterans.
[07:11] BG Kid 1
    Then hurry up and finish!
[07:12] Sumika
    That's impressive.
[07:14] Sumika
    You were kind of a hero
    in that other world, huh?
[07:18] Takeru
    I thought everything was
    going to be smooth sailing.
[07:22] Takeru
    I thought I could save
    the world this time.
[07:25] Takeru
    But it all fell apart.
[07:27] Takeru
    The enemy attacked in the middle of
    the exercise, from out of nowhere.
[07:30] Takeru
    And our drill instructor...
    Marimo-chan... was killed.
[07:34] Takeru
    Right in front of me.
[07:37] Sumika
    Jinguuji-sensei?
[07:39] Takeru
    I got scared, so I ran back to this world.
[07:42] Takeru
    And then... it happened here, too.
[07:47] Takeru
    It's my fault.
[07:48] Takeru
    Yuuko-sensei said I brought Marimo-chan's
    death with me, from the other world.
[07:54] Takeru
    Unbelievable, right?
[07:55] Sumika
    Why do you say that? I believe you!
[07:57] Sumika
    Of course I do!
[07:59] Takeru
    Then you need to stay away from me.
[08:02] Sumika
    Why?
[08:03] Takeru
    The more we talk, the more you're
    going to forget about me.
[08:07] Takeru
    Marimo-chan died because she
    was dead on the other side.
[08:11] Takeru
    But those of you who are alive are
    going to lose your memories, instead.
[08:16] Sumika
    Is that true? That explains it...
[08:20] Takeru
    Explains what?
[08:21] Sumika
    It doesn't matter!
[08:22] Sumika
    It's already taken care of,
     so forget about it!
[08:24] Sumika
    Besides, talking to you will make
    me forget? It's the opposite!
[08:27] Sumika
    The more we stay together,
    the more I'll remember you!
[08:31] Takeru
    Normal logic doesn't apply to me anymore.
[08:34] Takeru
    The same thing will happen to you.
[08:36] Sumika
    I would never forget you!
[08:41] Sumika
    I can barely remember us
    being apart, Takeru-chan!
[08:46] Sumika
    If I forgot about you... I wouldn't
    be the same person anymore!
[08:52] Sumika
    The time I spent with you...
     those memories...
[08:56] Sumika
    everything I am is based on on us!
[08:58] Takeru
    It's the same for me. I know all that! But—
[09:01] Sumika
    So I won't forget!
    There's no way I could forget.
[09:06] Takeru
    We can't. Stop it, Sumika.
[09:09] Sumika
    I won't stop! I'm not letting go!
[09:12] Sumika
    I need you, Takeru-chan! Don't push me away!
[09:17] Takeru
    Sumika...
[09:19] Sumika
    I won't forget!
[09:21] Sumika
    I swear! I swear, I'll never forget you!
[09:25] Takeru
    You'll remember?
[09:27] Takeru
    You will? No matter what?
[09:31] Sumika
    So please, please, don't leave me!
[09:37] Takeru
    Sumika... Sumika!
[09:48] Sumika
    Well, see you tomorrow.
[09:50] Takeru
    Yeah.
[09:52] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, I can't go
    home unless you let go.
[09:58] Takeru
    Hey, Sumika...
[10:00] Takeru
    Have you ever considered our future before?
[10:24] Takeru
    Let me get a better look at you.
[10:27] Sumika
    I love you.
[10:29] Sumika
    I swear, I won't forget you, Takeru-chan.
    No matter what, I won't.
[10:40] Takeru
    Thank you, Sumika.
[10:49] Takeru
    As long as Sumika remembers me,
    I'll be able to survive, even on my own.
[10:55] Takeru
    Today will be my last at Hakuryou.
    It's gonna be my personal, early graduation.
[11:02] Takeru
    Good morning, Sumika.
[11:06] Takeru
    I'm kinda nervous after what
    happened yesterday.
[11:09] Takeru
    But this is the last time.
    I should at least greet her.
[11:13] Takeru
    Morning.
[11:15] Sumika
    Oh, good morning, Shirogane-kun.
[11:23] Takeru
    Sumika?
[11:28] (Flashback) Yuuko
    They won't be able to recognize you,
     Shirogane Takeru, anymore.
[11:33] Takeru
    This can't be.
[11:35] Classics Teacher
    "I was brought up in a distant
    province which lies farther"
[11:35] Takeru
    You said you wouldn't forget yesterday.
[11:37] Classics Teacher
    "than the farthest end of the Eastern Road."
[11:39] Takeru
    You swore you never would!
[11:40] Classics Teacher
    "I am ashamed to think that..."
[11:41] Gym Guys
    Go, go, go!
[11:44] Takeru
    I thought Sumika... I thought Sumika
    would somehow manage to be okay.
[11:49] Takeru
    I...
[11:52] Male Student 1
    What was that?
[11:53] Male Student 2
    It sounded like it came from the gym.
[11:56] Takeru
    The gym—
[11:57] Takeru
    It can't be...
[11:58] Male Teacher 1
    Everyone, get back to your classrooms!
[12:00] Male Teacher 1
    Where's that damn ambulance?!
[12:02] Male Student 3
    Apparently the basketball backboard that
    was suspended from the ceiling fell.
[12:05] Takeru
    What are you talking about? Aren't the
    girls supposed to have volleyball for gym?
[12:08] Male Student 5
    Not the point, stupid! It's Kagami!
[12:10] Male Student 5
    She got caught underneath it!
[12:13] Takeru
    Kagami?
[12:17] Takeru
    Kagami, as in...
[12:19] BG Students
    Someone should move it!
[12:20] Takeru
    Kagami's...
[12:22] Takeru
    Kagami... Kagami...
[12:28] Male Student
    Whoa, what are you—
[12:28] Male Student
    Please, no more!
[12:30] Takeru
    Don't take anything else from me!

[12:54] Yuuko
    Where do you think you're going?
[12:58] Yuuko
    You'd better not be thinking
    of jumping off the roof.
[13:06] Takeru
    Sensei! Let me die, please!
[13:08] Takeru
    Please! You have to...
[13:13] Yuuko
    Kagami's alive, by the way.
[13:15] Yuuko
    Apparently if the metal bar had been off by a
    few centimeters, she would've died instantly.
[13:22] Yuuko
    Right now, you're a fusion of
    this world and the other one.
[13:27] Yuuko
    That means that half of you is my student,
    the one I inherited from Marimo.
[13:31] Yuuko
    You're not dying on my watch.
[13:35] Takeru
    But as long as I'm alive,
    it'll keep happening.
[13:38] Takeru
    I'm begging you...
    Please, just get rid of me.
[13:45] Takeru
    You're the only one who can do it!
[13:50] Yuuko
    I understand.
[13:54] Yuuko
    You're not going to ask where we're going?
[13:57] Takeru
    It really doesn't matter.
[13:59] Takeru
    As long as you can get rid of me.
[14:01] Yuuko
    We're headed to Kagami's house.
[14:14] Yuuko
    Shirogane! Come on.
[14:22] Takeru
    What is all this?
[14:30] Takeru
    "December 24th..."
[14:32] Sumika
    Snowy.
[14:33] Sumika
    Takeru-chan didn't give me a present.
[14:36] Sumika
    I wonder if he forgot our promise?
[14:39] Sumika
    Santa didn't show up after all.
[14:42] Takeru
    These are... Sumika's.
[14:46] Sumika
    Takeru-chan is so mean!
[14:49] Sumika
    I broke an ammonite fossil,
[14:52] Sumika
    but Takeru-chan took the blame.
[14:55] Sumika
    Thank you, Takeru-chan. You made me so happy.
[14:58] Sumika
    I think my dream really is to stay
    with Takeru-chan. It's gotta be that!
[15:04] Sumika
    Yes! I'm in the same class as Takeru-chan!
[15:08] Sumika
    I'm gonna wake him up every day from now on!
[15:11] Sumika
    That was so mean, Takeru-chan!
[15:12] Sumika
    Just because my haircut went badly doesn't
    mean you get to call me a kokeshi doll!
[15:16] Sumika
    Ugh, he's so annoying! I'm gonna
    get him to call me cute next time!
[15:20] Sumika
    More like, he'd better say it!
[15:21] Sumika
    It's summertime! It's hot! Time for the pool!
[15:24] Sumika
    Who gives mittens as a gift during summer?
[15:27] Sumika
    Still, I'm glad. I'm going to take good care
    of the mittens Takeru-chan gave me.
[15:33] Sumika
    Our last culture festival has ended.
[15:36] Sumika
    I'm glad I got to do the last
    folk dance with Takeru-chan.
[15:39] Sumika
    That's another memory! Yes!
[15:41] Sumika
    Takeru-chan's talking about going to Hakuryou.
    There's no way I can get in there!
[15:48] Sumika
    I did it! Now we're together
    for another three years!
[15:54] Sumika
    What the heck was that?!
[15:55] Sumika
    I caught him in bed with some
    girl I've never seen before!
[15:58] Sumika
    Takeru-chan asked me something strange today.
[16:02] Sumika
    And just like I told him, I can't
    imagine not being by his side.
[16:08] Yuuko
    Look at all of this.
[16:10] Yuuko
    And it's all about you.
[16:12] Yuuko
    She's been re-reading these every day in
    an effort to shore up her memories.
SIGN    February 28th, Sunny.
     Graduation soon. Teacher talked about our dreams for the future. When I asked Takeru-chan
    about it, he said he wanted to become rich, or the prime minister... a lot of crazy stuff.
     I wonder if he's serious?
     He said I should become the Cinnabun Boy, but that's just impossible!
    Cuz I'm human! What even is a dream. I guess mine would be staying with Takeru-chan?
[16:17] Yuuko
    I can only imagine how hard it was.
[16:19] Yuuko
    Realizing she was starting to forget
    something she cared so deeply about...
[16:25] (Flashback) Sumika
    It doesn't matter!
[16:26] (Flashback) Sumika
    It's already taken care of,
     so forget about it!
[16:28] Takeru
    That's what she meant.
[16:32] Sumika
    Jinguuji-sensei is dead.
[16:34] Sumika
    I can't think straight.
    My head's all jumbled up.
[16:37] Sumika
    I keep forgetting stuff lately.
    Maybe it's from the shock?
[16:41] Sumika
    But it's written in my diary,
    so I must be forgetting.
SIGN    December 24th, snowy.
     Takeru-chan didn't give me a present.
     I wonder if he forgot our promise?
     Santa didn't show up after all. We did eat some cake. It was a strawberry shortcake.
     And really yummy! When we went outside it was snowing.
     The same way it was on the day we made the promise. If the snow keeps falling, we're going to have a snowball fight tomorrow.
[16:45] Sumika
    Something must be wrong with me if
    I'm forgetting about Takeru-chan!
[16:48] Sumika
    I need to get a grip!
[16:50] Sumika
    I called you yesterday!
[16:53] Takeru
    Sumika...
[16:54] Sumika
    It's Takeru-chan's birthday today!
[16:57] Sumika
    When I was out shopping, I ran into him.
[17:00] Sumika
    He was trying to avoid me, which made me sad.
[17:04] Sumika
    I wanted to know why, and even though
    he didn't want to, I got him to explain.
[17:09] Sumika
    He told me a really strange story,
    like something out of a fairy tale.
[17:13] Sumika
    But I believe it all. Because I can tell
    when Takeru-chan is joking or lying.
[17:20] Sumika
    Even if everyone else loses
    their memories of him,
[17:23] Sumika
    even if the entire world doesn't
    recognize Takeru-chan anymore...
[17:27] Sumika
    I won't. I swear, I'll be the only one who
    remembers Takeru-chan, no matter what!
[17:33] Takeru
    Sumika!
[17:35] Sumika
    I'm not going to leave him all on his own.
[17:39] Sumika
    I'll always be with him!
[17:42] Sumika
    And in the end, something amazing happened!
[17:45] Sumika
    One of my dreams came true!
[17:48] Sumika
    I got to kiss Takeru-chan! Twice!
[17:52] Sumika
    I've never been happier!
    There's no way I can forget this.
[17:58] Sumika
    Not after my dream came true!
    I could never forget that!
[18:02] Sumika
    To me,
[18:04] Sumika
    Takeru-chan is my next-door neighbor.
[18:07] Sumika
    He's also the most important
    person in the world to me.
[18:10] Sumika
    Read the diaries, and you'll be sure
    to remember him, so hang in there!
[18:13] Sumika
    Keep reading until you remember!
[18:15] Sumika
    It'll be okay, so just
    stay calm and remember...
[18:19] Sumika
    Takeru-chan.
[18:22] Takeru
    Sumika...
[18:24] Yuuko
    She's a sweet girl.
[18:25] Takeru
    Sensei, I love her!
[18:29] Takeru
    I want Sumika to live!
[18:32] Takeru
    I used to think that I wanted
    her to remember me.
[18:37] Takeru
    But I don't care anymore!
[18:39] Takeru
    As long as she's alive...
[18:42] Takeru
    I've found my nerve.
    The sooner I'm gone, the better.
[18:47] Yuuko
    Understood. Let's get this delivery done.

[18:55] Yuuko
    Sorry about the holdup.
[18:57] Takeru
    How's Sumika doing?
[18:59] Yuuko
    No visitors allowed.
[19:01] Yuuko
    It was a major procedure, after all.
[19:02] Yuuko
    She's sedated and asleep at the moment.
[19:05] Takeru
    I see...
[19:08] Takeru
    I'm sorry, Sumika.
[19:10] Takeru
    I had no idea how hard you
    were working to remember me.
[19:16] Takeru
    Thank you for caring so much about me.
[19:20] Takeru
    Goodbye, Sumika.
[19:22] Yuuko
    I'm thinking your influence
    as a causality conductor
[19:24] Yuuko
    might be tied to the
    strength of your emotions.
[19:29] Yuuko
    Marimo, Mitsurugi, Kagami...
[19:31] Yuuko
    The three of them were affected
    by causality conduction
[19:35] Yuuko
    right after having significant
    interactions with you.
[19:38] Takeru
    Never mind that, Sensei.
    let's get me out of—
[19:40] Yuuko
    You need to listen.
[19:41] Yuuko
    Our objective here
[19:43] Yuuko
    is to stop the incursion of causality
    from the other world into this one.
[19:46] Takeru
    And that's why we're
    getting rid of me, right?
[19:50] Yuuko
    You are a Shirogane Takeru
    who can't exist in this world.
[19:54] Yuuko
    Which is why we're getting rid of you
    by sending you back to the other world.
[19:59] Takeru
    But we can't!
[20:01] Takeru
    It's been over 24 hours
    since I was sent back here!
[20:06] Yuuko
    I will send you back.
[20:11] Yuuko
    The laws of cause and effect have
    become fuzzy when it comes to you.
[20:16] Yuuko
    There's a chance that by
    getting rid the root cause,
[20:19] Yuuko
    this world will "loop," and any effects
     you've had on it will be undone.
[20:24] Takeru
    Will that mean nothing happens
    to Marimo-chan and Sumika?!
[20:28] Yuuko
    You've already been attempting something
    along those lines in the other world, right?
[20:35] Yuuko
    I'm sending you back so you can find out
    what turned you into a causality conductor.
[20:39] Yuuko
    Once you resolve that, you'll be able
    to truly return to your original world.
[20:45] Takeru
    I can go back!
[20:47] Yuuko
    But until it's taken care of, you'll need
     to remain in the other world.
[20:54] Takeru
    I don't mind.
[20:56] Takeru
    Compared to leaving everything unfinished,
[20:58] Takeru
    and simply vanishing without taking
    responsibility for my actions...
[21:01] Takeru
    If this gives me a chance to undo the
    damage I've done to everyone else,
[21:07] Takeru
    then I'll head back to the other world!
[21:10] Takeru
    Actually, I'd beg you to send me back!
[21:14] Yuuko
    I understand how you feel.
[21:17] Yuuko
    Okay, let's get going!

    Where are we?

    The nuclear research lab
    attached to Hakuryou College.
[01:52] Takeru
    Sensei, when I get back to the other side...
[01:57] Yuuko
    The Shirogane who's originally
    from this world will be left behind.
[02:00] Yuuko
    The effects you've caused
    will remain intact, though.
[02:04] Yuuko
    Which is why you need to go back.
[02:07] Yuuko
    Otherwise, we could be looking at
    five billion dead on this world, too.
[02:11] Yuuko
    Go on, get us in there.
[02:13] Takeru
    Right.
[02:15] Yuuko
    If my hypothesis is right, you won't
    even be able to die on the other side.
[02:21] Yuuko
    More accurately, you're capable of dying,
[02:25] Yuuko
    and have already done so
    quite a few times without remembering.
[02:29] Takeru
    A few times?
[02:32] Yuuko
    I'm wondering if the trigger for the loops
[02:34] Yuuko
    that other world experiences
    might be your death.
[02:37] Yuuko
    That could explain why your
    memory is spotty, as well.
[02:41] Takeru
    Then that's why my memories
    of the previous loops is so vague?
[02:45] Yuuko
    Until you remove whatever's
    turned you into a causality conductor,
[02:49] Yuuko
    you're going to be indefinitely locked
    inside of a cyclical fragment of space-time.
[02:56] Yuuko
    Come on, let's get going.
[03:07] Yuuko
    This is what we're going to use
    to send you to the other world.
[03:11] Takeru
    This stuff?!
[03:12] Yuuko
    Oh, come off it. I had to
    improvise with what I had available.
[03:16] Takeru
    But it's been over 24 hours
    since I came here.
[03:20] Yuuko
    Relax. This'll be enough to send you back.
[03:26] Takeru
    How can you be so sure?
[03:28] Yuuko
    I learned how from my counterpart.
[03:31] Takeru
    Were you able to communicate
    with the other world?!
[03:32] Yuuko
    Can you imagine how much easier
    this would've been in that case?
[03:35] Yuuko
    I found it in the documents
    you brought me the first time around.
[03:40] Yuuko
    She had a few contingencies outlined.
[03:43] Yuuko
    Including one for what to do if you
    went AWOL and didn't want to come back.
[03:49] Yuuko
    She couldn't afford to let you go until she
    had the formulas that would save the world.
[03:55] Yuuko
    An understandable bit of insurance.
[03:57] Yuuko
    But there were a few falsehoods
    subtly slipped into what was written, too.
[04:01] Yuuko
    By the other me, of course.
[04:03] Yuuko
    My theory for inter-world travel
    did have unresolved problems.
[04:06] Yuuko
    And she had all the answers
    for how to deal with them.
[04:09] Yuuko
    I didn't realize what she had done until
    the causality influx led to Marimo's death.
[04:16] Yuuko
    I was too excited at my theory for
     inter-world travel being proven true.
[04:21] Yuuko
    And I'm pretty sure the other me
    expected that to happen,
[04:23] Yuuko
    and altered what she wrote
    to keep me from realizing the outcome.
[04:27] Takeru
    She went as far as tricking
    an alternate version of herself?
[04:31] Takeru
    I swear, I'm going to fix
    whatever's causing this.
[04:34] Yuuko
    I thought you might start sulking again.
    Glad to see I was wrong.
[04:38] Takeru
    Right now, my only concern is getting back
    to the other world and finishing my job.
[04:42] Takeru
    Rubbing the other Yuuko-sensei's
    nose in it will be an added bonus.
[04:46] Yuuko
    I would love it if you did that.
[04:52] Yuuko
    You're about to be forced
    to encounter situations
[04:55] Yuuko
    where your choices will get people killed
    over and over again.
[05:00] Yuuko
    You'll have to choose to let people die
    in pursuit of achieving your goals.
[05:05] Yuuko
    Are you going to be able to endure that?
[05:08] Yuuko
    Will you always be able to
    make the practical choice?
[05:12] Takeru
    Either way, because
    I'm the causality conductor,
[05:15] Takeru
    I'm the only one who can save
     the worlds I've passed through.
[05:20] Takeru
    Right?
[05:23] Yuuko
    You know what to do?
[05:24] Takeru
    Yeah.
[05:25] Takeru
    I'm gonna save the multiverse!
[05:29] Yuuko
    A successful transfer is linked
    to a strong sense of purpose.
[05:33] Yuuko
    That resolve, your feelings for Kagami,
    Marimo, and everyone else,
[05:38] Yuuko
    will guide you back to the other world.
[05:42] Security Guard
    No good! It won't open!
[05:47] Yuuko
    Damn it all! When we're doing this
    to save them, too! So annoying.

    Sensei!
[05:52] Yuuko
    All we need now is power.
[05:54] Takeru
    If I vanish now, Sensei, the police will—
[05:56] Yuuko
    Shut up! Conversation over!
[05:59] Yuuko
    Or are you already losing your nerve?
[06:02] Takeru
    I'm not going to let my feelings stop me
    from doing my duty ever again.
[06:08] Takeru
    I'm going to do what only I can do,
    and I'll feel sad once it's over!
[06:16] Yuuko
    Maybe Marimo had better taste
    in men than I thought.
[06:20] Yuuko
    You love Kagami, right?
[06:22] Takeru
    Sensei?
[06:23] Yuuko
    Answer the question!
[06:24] Takeru
    I-I do!
[06:26] Yuuko
    I can't hear you!
[06:28] Yuuko
    Are your feelings as soft as your voice?
[06:30] Takeru
    I love Sumika!
[06:33] Yuuko
    Louder!
[06:34] Takeru
    I love her!
[06:36] Yuuko
    Louder!
[06:36] Takeru
    I love her!
[06:38] Yuuko
    Still not enough! Again!
[06:40] Takeru
    I'm in love with Kagami Sumika!
[06:46] Security Guards
    There they are!
[06:48] Security Guards
    Damn! It's locked...
[06:49] Security Guards
    Open up!
[06:51] Yuuko
    That's parapositronium light!
    This is gonna work!
[06:54] Takeru
    Sensei...
[06:57] Yuuko
    Shirogane, Kagami is somewhere
    in the other world.
[07:01] Yuuko
    That's how this miracle happened.
[07:05] Yuuko
    Now, go take care of business,
    Shirogane Takeru!
[07:08] Takeru
    Sensei!
[07:26] Takeru
    I'm back.
[07:27] Yuuko
    Well, I didn't expect to find you in here.
[07:32] Takeru
    Sensei...
[07:36] Takeru
    I'm sorry for the pathetic way I behaved.
[07:39] Takeru
    You might not need me anymore,
    but please, let me stay here again!
[07:45] Takeru
    Please give me another chance!
[07:48] Takeru
    I have to save all of the worlds
    I've interacted with!
[07:52] Takeru
    All the worlds that have
    gone wrong, because of me!
[07:55] Yuuko
    I think you've misunderstood something.
[07:59] Yuuko
    I never gave you any kind of opportunity,
    or took one away from you.
[08:04] Yuuko
    Did you forget? Weren't we only working
    together because our interests were aligned?
[08:11] Yuuko
    You got to play savior thanks to me.
[08:15] Yuuko
    And I got to obtain vital formulas
    for the completion of Alternative IV.
[08:19] Yuuko
    It's that simple.
[08:21] Takeru
    Playing savior...
[08:23] Takeru
    She's got a point.
[08:25] Yuuko
    So, what can you do for me now?
[08:30] Yuuko
    This needs to be mutually beneficial.
[08:35] Yuuko
    Since you don't seem to have any idea,
    I'm going to arrange an interview.
[08:38] Yuuko
    Depending on the outcome of that,
    I can find a role for you.
[08:43] Yuuko
    And that'll give you a place here.
[08:46] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Now, go take care of business,
[08:48] (Flashback) Yuuko
    Shirogane Takeru!
[08:50] Takeru
    Please!
[08:57] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit is ready.
[08:59] Yuuko
    It was completed the day after you left.
[09:02] Takeru
    It was?!
[09:04] Yuuko
    I don't know what you're so surprised about.
[09:06] Yuuko
    That outcome was guaranteed as soon as
    you made it back with the formulas.
SIGN    To me
SIGN    To me
SIGN    To me
SIGN    To me
[09:14] Yuuko
    Yes. That's right.
[09:17] Yuuko
    Could you bring the 00 Unit to my office?
[09:20] Takeru
    So, about this interview...
[09:22] Yuuko
    Don't rush me.
[09:28] Yuuko
    There they are.
[09:30] Yuuko
    Yashiro, right this way.
[09:33] Takeru
    Kasumi?
[09:38] Sumika
    If I forgot about you... I wouldn't be
    the same person anymore!
[09:39] Takeru
    Sumika?
[09:42] Sumika
    I swear, I'll never forget you!
[09:44] Yuuko
    Kagami is somewhere in the other world.
[09:46] Takeru
    What is Sumika doing here?!
[09:48] Yuuko
    Let me make the official introduction.
[09:50] Yuuko
    You're looking at the ultimate objective,
    and product, of Alternative IV.
[09:53] Yuuko
    The harbinger of mankind's victory.
[09:56] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit.
[09:58] Takeru
    Is this some kind of joke?!
[10:00] Yuuko
    I wasn't trying to be funny.
[10:04] Yuuko
    We're in the presence of the key
    to eradicating the BETA.
[10:09] Yuuko
    You and I—
[10:10] Sumika
    Kill them... I'll kill them all.
[10:14] Sumika
    The BETA! The enemy, the enemy!
    Kill, kill them, I'll kill them!
[10:17] Takeru
    Sumika? Sumika!
[10:20] Sumika
    I'll slaughter them all!
[10:24] Sumika
    BETA! Kill! Kill them, kill them...
[10:28] Sumika
    Kill them all...
[10:28] Yuuko
    Well? Anything?
[10:31] Kasumi
    No. I don't see anything.
[10:33] Takeru
    Sumika! Are you okay?!
[10:35] Sumika
    No! No!
[10:41] Yuuko
    She's never reacted like that before.
[10:44] Yuuko
    I guess you really are special.
[10:53] Yuuko
    Oh, are you crying?
[10:57] Yuuko
    Honestly, and here I thought
    you had your head on straight this time.
[11:02] Yuuko
    You pass, though.
    This was a successful interview.
[11:06] Yuuko
    You've got your place at the table.
[11:08] Takeru
    Hang on a second. I don't understand!
[11:11] Yuuko
    You'll be helping to debug
    and adjust the 00 Unit.
[11:14] Yuuko
    Although I prefer to call it "tuning."
    Sounds more elegant.
[11:18] Takeru
    Tuning?
[11:24] Yuuko
    Our interests have aligned again.
[11:26] Yuuko
    For the last week, you've been
    on a top-secret mission for me.
[11:31] Yuuko
    Got it?
[11:33] Yuuko
    It was a dangerous, grueling mission on
    the front lines that put your talents to use.
[11:38] Yuuko
    The documentation already attests to that.
[11:42] Takeru
    Did she anticipate me coming back?
[11:45] Yuuko
    Do you understand?
[11:47] Yuuko
    I don't mind impulsiveness,
    because it makes you easy to use,
[11:50] Yuuko
    but unless you get a handle on it,
[11:52] Yuuko
    you're gonna spend your whole life
    as someone else's tool.
[11:56] Yuuko
    I'll call for you tomorrow.
[11:58] Yuuko
    In the meantime, try and cool off a bit,
[12:01] Yuuko
    Shirogane Takeru.
[12:04] Takeru
    Understood.
[12:25] Takeru
    Why does the 00 Unit look like Sumika?
[12:30] Takeru
    Is there some reason?
[12:34] Meiya
    Takeru? Takeru, is that you?
[12:40] Takeru
    Meiya...
[12:41] Meiya
    Have you just returned?
[12:43] Meiya
    I imagine your special mission
    must have been difficult.
[12:46] Takeru
    Meiya...
[12:47] Takeru
    Meiya, back then, I was—
[12:51] Meiya
    This is for leaving without letting us know!
[12:54] Meiya
    This is for making us worry!
[13:01] Meiya
    And that was... my appreciation
    for your safe return.
[13:06] Meiya
    Fool... You are such a fool!
[13:10] Meiya
    I thought I might never see you again!
[13:15] Takeru
    Meiya...
[13:16] Takeru
    Meiya, I'm so sorry. I was...
[13:19] Meiya
    It doesn't matter. Not anymore.
[13:22] Meiya
    It seems you've found the resolve
    to grapple with your destiny.
[13:27] Takeru
    Yeah. Finally.
[13:29] Takeru
    The way you acted during the coup...
[13:34] Takeru
    And the things that Her Majesty
    told me about...
[13:38] Meiya
    She spoke to you?
[13:40] Takeru
    And the day Sergeant Jinguuji died...
[13:44] Takeru
    I think I actually understand
    what you really meant now.
[13:50] Takeru
    On the front lines, I...
[13:53] Takeru
    I encountered some people
    I thought I'd never see again.
[13:59] Takeru
    And to make sure I never lose them again...
[14:03] Meiya
    Takeru...
[14:05] Takeru
    Sorry.
[14:07] Takeru
    I should be back with the unit tomorrow.
[14:10] Takeru
    I'll see you then.
[14:12] Meiya
    The others were quite worried
    about you, as well.
[14:16] Meiya
    I'm curious to see just how many
    blows you can weather.
[14:20] Takeru
    I thought you said you hit me
    for their sake already?
[14:23] Meiya
    A man shouldn't let such
     trivial details concern him.
[14:26] Takeru
    I guess so...
SIGN    December 18th, 2001
[14:37] Michiru
    All right, it looks like we've finally got
    A-01 assembled in its entirety.
[14:41] Michiru
    Shirogane!
[14:42] Shirogane
    Ma'am!
[14:43] Tama
    Takeru-san!
[14:44] Michiru
    Starting today, you're part of A-01 Squadron.
[14:44] Mikoto
    Takeru!
[14:50] Takeru
    Second Lieutenant Shirogane Takeru!
[14:52] Takeru
    It's an honor to be serving with you!
[14:54] Michiru
    Very good. And good work
    on your special mission.
[14:57] Michiru
    We know better than anyone else
    that the XO never runs an easy operation.
[15:03] Michiru
    We operate under a independent
    command structure,
[15:06] Michiru
    undertaking high-risk missions
    in service of Alternative IV.
[15:11] Michiru
    We were a regiment when founded,
    but are down to a squadron's numbers.
[15:17] Michiru
    The personnel you see are all we've got.
[15:17] Takeru
    Suzumiya? Kashiwagi?
[15:20] Takeru
    You guys are here too, huh?
[15:21] Michiru
    And we can't count
    on any kind of reinforcements.
[15:25] Michiru
    So you can imagine how glad we are
    to have a superstar like you in the lineup.
[15:28] Michiru
    Hope you're ready to be worked, and hard.
[15:31] Takeru
    It'd be my pleasure, Captain!
[15:33] Michiru
    All of the pilots in our squadron are
    graduates of the same training school.
[15:36] Michiru
    Which makes us all
    Sergeant Jinguuji's students.
[15:40] Michiru
    You're joining us, so make sure
    not to do anything to shame our teacher.
[15:43] Takeru
    Ma'am!
[15:44] Michiru
    Good. Welcome to A-01 Squadron.
    We're glad to have you.
[15:49] Michiru
    I'm Captain Isumi Michiru.
[15:50] Takeru
    Yes, Captain!
[15:52] Isumi
    Ease up on the protocol. The XO ordered us
    to keep things efficient around here.
[15:57] Isumi
    Let me introduce you
    to the squadron's leadership.
[16:00] Isumi
    On the far right is First Lieutenant
    Suzumiya Haruka, our command post officer.
[16:04] Isumi
    She monitors battlefield operations
    from the command vehicle.
[16:06] Isumi
    She's a lot scarier than
     she seems, so watch yourself.
[16:09] Haruka
    C-Captain!
[16:10] Haruka
    What are you saying? Don't you know
    how important first impressions are?
SIGN    A-01 Squadron Command Post Officer
    First Lieutenant Suzumiya Haruka
[16:15] Michiru
    Sorry, sorry.
[16:17] Haruka
    It's nice to meet you, Lieutenant.
[16:19] Takeru
    It's a pleasure, ma'am!
[16:20] Michiru
    Next is First Lieutenant Hayase Mitsuki,
    who's in command of B-Flight.
[16:24] Hayase
    Welcome to the Isumi's Valkyries.
[16:26] Takeru
    Valkyries?
[16:28] Hayase
    It's the squadron's nickname.
SIGN    A-01 Squadron B-Flight
    First Lieutenant Hayase Mitsuki
[16:30] Hayase
    Though having a guy added
    to our number kinda ruins the name.
[16:36] Isumi
    And then C-Flight's commander,
    First Lieutenant Munakata Misae.
[16:40] Isumi
    She's a bit of a man-hater. Watch yourself.
SIGN    A-01 Squadron C-Flight
    First Lieutenant Munakata Misae
[16:44] Munakata
    Captain, I am not a man-hater.
[16:47] Michiru
    So she says.
[16:49] Michiru
    Good for you, Shirogane!
    Maybe you've got a shot.
[16:53] Michiru
    Make sure to familiarize yourself
    with your other squadmates ASAP.
[16:57] Michiru
    Finally, you need to learn the squadron's motto.
[17:00] Michiru
    Carry out your mission at all costs!
[17:04] Michiru
    Squadron, recite!
[17:06] A01
    Carry out your mission at all costs!
[17:08] Michiru
    Fight to your very last breath!
[17:10] A01
    Fight to your very last breath!
[17:12] Michiru
    Make your death count!
[17:14] A01
    Make your death count!
[17:16] A01
    Make your death count!
[17:18] Michiru
    There it is.
[17:19] Michiru
    Lieutenant Shirogane Takeru?
[17:21] Takeru
    Carry out your mission at all costs!
[17:24] Takeru
    Fight to your very last breath!
[17:26] Takeru
    Make your death count!
[17:28] Isumi
    Good. Now, you've got a week's
    worth of catching up to do.
[17:32] Isumi
    Brace yourself.
[17:34] Takeru
    Roger that.
[17:36] Isumi
    That is all. Shirogane stays behind,
    and the rest of you are dismissed.
[17:44] Hayase
    Hey, Shirogane!
[17:46] Takeru
    Lieutenant Hayase!
[17:47] Hayase
    You don't have to act
    so buttoned up around here.
[17:50] Takeru
    Sorry, force of habit.
[17:52] Hayase
    I heard you're pretty torn up about
    what happened to Sergeant Jinguuji.
[17:57] Takeru
    Lieutenant, listen, I'm...
    I'm sorry I couldn't protect her.
[18:01] Hayase
    You're not the only one
    who feels that way, okay?
[18:04] Hayase
    We're all her students here.
[18:07] Hayase
    And all of us feel responsible
    for what happened.
[18:10] Hayase
    But we're all trying to keep it together.
    Do you get why?
[18:16] Takeru
    Survivors need to put their experience to use
    to help as many people survive as possible.
[18:22] Marimo
    I wanted to put my experience to use to help
    as many pilots live for as long as possible.
[18:28] Takeru
    Because there's no other way
    to make it up to those who have died.
[18:35] Hayase
    You got it.
[18:37] Hayase
    Seems you understand!
[18:40] Hayase
    And your classmates seem really worried.
[18:43] Hayase
    So try and act like nothing happened.
[18:47] Hayase
    That's the etiquette among pilots.
[18:49] Hayase
    And it's only once you can pull that off
    that you're considered fully fledged!
[18:54] Takeru
    Understood!
[18:56] Touko
    Lunch was very good.
[18:58] Kashiwagi
    I'm looking forward to dinner, too!
[19:00] Touko
    Of course you are.

[00:07] Takeru
    She was the brain all along.
[00:09] Yuuko
    The Yokohama Hive was
     captured on August 5th, 1999,
[00:15] Yuuko
    during Operation Lucifer.
[00:17] Yuuko
    It was the first time mankind
     managed to occupy a hive,
[00:19] Yuuko
    where they discovered the only human to ever
    survive being taken prisoner by the BETA.
[00:23] (Flashback) Kasumi
    You wouldn't understand, Takeru-chan!
SIGN    December 19th 2001
[02:00] Yuuko
    The BETA don't recognize
    humans as being alive.
SIGN    Sumika
[02:03] Yuuko
    Alternative IV was formulated
    to take that into consideration.
[02:07] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit is our only means of
    communicating with the BETA,
[02:10] Yuuko
    because they recognize its sentience.
[02:13] Yuuko
    When Kagami Sumika was found alive,
    we were ecstatic.
[02:18] Yuuko
    And why wouldn't we be?
[02:20] Yuuko
    We'd found the perfect specimen
    with which to create the 00 Unit.
[02:25] Yuuko
    But... there were problems when the
    time came to transfer her personality.
[02:32] Yuuko
    To translate information that the BETA
    might express, we need human thinking.
[02:38] Yuuko
    But without any personality or humanity,
    it'd be as faulty as machine translation.
[02:44] Takeru
    That's why you needed the
    formulas I brought back.
[02:47] Yuuko
    You had no way of knowing.
[02:50] Yuuko
    I was the one who actually did it all.
[02:54] Yuuko
    Transplanting a personality
[02:56] Yuuko
    is a lot more complicated than
     simply copying a set of memories.
[03:00] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit not only needed to look like her,
[03:02] Yuuko
    but also needed functionally identical
    artificial biology for the same reason.
[03:08] Yuuko
    If any of the necessary parts were missing,
[03:10] Yuuko
    her brain's physiology
    would become disrupted,
[03:12] Yuuko
    leading to the human parts of her dying.
[03:20] Takeru
    We killed this world's Sumika, didn't we?
[03:25] Yuuko
    You need to get the
    00 Unit functional in time
[03:28] Yuuko
    for the practical assessment
    scheduled a week from today.
[03:31] Takeru
    "Functional"? What the hell
    am I supposed to do?
[03:47] Kasumi
    Please, talk to her.
[03:49] Takeru
    O-Okay.
[04:00] Takeru
    Hey, Sumika. It's almost Christmas, huh?
[04:04] Takeru
    Remember how I promised
    to give you a present every year?
[04:08] Takeru
    I was slacking for a while there, but this
    year, I promise to get you something.
[04:14] Takeru
    This really isn't like us, huh?
[04:19] Takeru
    From here on out, what we need
    to do is goof around a bunch.
[04:23] Sumika
    Need to...
[04:25] Takeru
    Yeah! We haven't done
    all the stuff we need to!
[04:28] Sumika
    I need to...
[04:29] Sumika
    What I need to do... need to do, need to do!
[04:32] Takeru
    Whoa! Hey, are you okay?!
[04:39] Sumika
    Can't take it... Can't take
    any of it, make it stop...
[04:42] Takeru
    Sumika!
[04:43] Sumika
    Kill the BETA! Kill you, too!
[04:45] Takeru
    I'm sorry! I'll never leave you alone again!
    I'll stay so much that you'll be sick of me!
[04:52] Takeru
    Damn it, what am I supposed to do?!
[04:52] Sumika
    No! No—!
[04:59] Yuuko
    And that was Kagami's response?
[05:02] Yuuko
    Understood. Thanks for the update.
[05:18] Michiru
    If you panic at the sight of BETA
    in the simulator, you're going to be useless.
[05:22] Michiru
    We need to nip any potential problems
    in the bud while we have the chance.
[05:27] Michiru
    The Shiranui units you rookies will pilot
    are going to be delivered in a few days.
[05:31] XM3
    XM3, online.
[05:33] Michiru
    You'll be training
    in the simulator to prepare.
[05:36] 207th
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:37] Mikoto
    Man, Takeru really is something else.
[05:40] Chizuru
    He actually managed an A rating.
[05:41] Tama
    It's impressive!
[05:42] Ayamine
    The obvious outcome, naturally.
[05:46] Mikoto
    Hey, Takeru!
[05:49] Mikoto
    Since we're done training for today,
    wanna all head to the PX?
[05:54] Takeru
    Sorry. I've got stuff to do.
[05:58] Tama
    What about dinner, then?
[06:00] Ayamine
    It's settled.
[06:01] Takeru
    Yeah, it seriously isn't, actually.
[06:03] Takeru
    Sorry again, but I'll be busy tonight, too.
[06:07] Meiya
    Takeru, this business of yours...
[06:11] Meiya
    Is it a special mission?
[06:13] Takeru
    Y-Yeah.
[06:15] Tama
    I didn't realize. Sorry, Takeru-san.
[06:18] Takeru
    Nah, it's my fault
    for not being clear about it.
[06:21] Chizuru
    Well, we haven't had a chance
    to really talk since the coup, right?
[06:26] Chizuru
    It would've been nice.
[06:28] Takeru
    They're all worried about me.
[06:31] Takeru
    Sorry, guys.
[06:32] Meiya
    No. If duty calls, so be it.
    Good luck, Takeru.
[06:38] Takeru
    Thanks.
[06:39] Tama
    You can do it, Takeru-san!
[06:40] Mikoto
    We'll hang out some other time, okay?
[06:41] Ayamine
    Yeah.
[06:42] Chizuru
    If there's anything
    I can help with, just ask.
[06:43] Meiya
    I'll aid you in any way I can, as well!
[06:45] Takeru
    I really appreciate it.
[06:48] Sumika
    No!
[06:51] Sumika
    Kill...!
[06:52] Takeru
    Sumika, it's okay! You're fine!
[06:55] Sumika
    Kill the BETA! I'll kill them!
[06:59] Takeru
    Is holding you like this
    the only thing I can do?!
[07:02] Sumika
    No! Let go! Let go of me!
[07:08] Yuuko
    Her numbers are heading
    in the right direction...
[07:11] Yuuko
    But at this pace,
    it won't be ready in time.
[07:15] Yuuko
    How are things with the squad?
[07:17] Takeru
    We've only just started training
    with the rest of the squad.
[07:20] Yuuko
    Well, the sooner you're ready, the better.
[07:22] Yuuko
    It's up to A-01 Squadron
    to serve as the 00 Unit's protection.
[07:29] Takeru
    We're going to be guarding Sumika?
[07:31] Yuuko
    The entire base is going to be
    working toward that end, really,
[07:35] Yuuko
    except that's turned out to be
    a bigger problem than I thought.
[07:38] Yuuko
    We're severely undermanned in that regard.
[07:41] Yuuko
    If I'm being totally blunt, the majority
    of the forces here won't be of any use.
[07:46] Yuuko
    You saw what a disaster
    the trial turned into, right?
[07:48] Yuuko
    Most of them were worthless. And we're
    talking Japan's frontline defenses here.
[07:52] Takeru
    I think things are running
    more tightly since then, though.
[07:55] Yuuko
    True enough.
[07:56] Yuuko
    I guess having Isumi collect
     them was worth it after all.
[08:01] Takeru
    Uh... I'm not sure I follow...
[08:04] Yuuko
    You're the one who told me the BETA would
     be incoming from Sadogashima, remember?
[08:08] Yuuko
    I was able to arrange for
    quite a few to be captured.
[08:12] Takeru
    Y-You mean to tell me... the accident was...
[08:15] Takeru
    You planned the whole thing, Yuuko-sensei?!
[08:20] Yuuko
    Just now catching on, huh?
    Not too bright, are you?
[08:25] Yuuko
    You can use it, if you want.
[08:26] Yuuko
    If you can't accept what I've done,
    go ahead and shoot me.
[08:35] Yuuko
    Knowing you, I doubt you'd miss.
[08:43] Yuuko
    What's the holdup?
[08:45] Yuuko
    You're looking at the person
    responsible for Marimo's death.
[08:50] Yuuko
    The plan can continue without me around.
[08:53] Yuuko
    I've made the appropriate arrangements,
    so don't worry about that.
[08:58] Yuuko
    Or are you afraid to kill someone?
    Worried about getting your hands dirty?
[09:07] Takeru
    It won't be necessary.
[09:09] Yuuko
    I guess Kagami Sumika being dead
    doesn't bother you that much after all.
[09:14] Takeru
    You're right.
[09:16] Takeru
    At least, that's how I was acting before.
[09:19] Takeru
    She's been by my side since I came
    to this world for the first time, for years,
[09:24] Takeru
    but I never realized who that brain was.
    I even thought it was creepy.
[09:29] Takeru
    Sumika was trapped in there,
    robbed of all sensation,
[09:32] Takeru
    while I was so sure
    she didn't exist over here.
[09:35] Takeru
    Actually, it was more like
    I was trying to convince myself
[09:39] Takeru
    that it was okay to feel
    relieved that she was safe.
[09:43] Takeru
    I was avoiding the subject altogether.
[09:46] Takeru
    And when I learned the truth, it made me
    question how deep my feelings actually run.
[09:50] Takeru
    To be honest, thinking about
    the stuff you get up to pisses me off.
[09:55] Takeru
    But...
[09:56] Takeru
    I helped you of my own free will.
[09:59] Takeru
    That's why I'm not going to change my tune
    after learning the truth. Not anymore.
[10:03] Takeru
    So you can keep the gun.
[10:06] Takeru
    Even if Sumika is artificial now, and even if
    she's fated for even more tragedy,
[10:11] Takeru
    she's better off now than
    being stuck the way she was before.
[10:16] Takeru
    I think she became the 00 Unit for a reason.
[10:20] Takeru
    And to prove that her
    survival meant something...
[10:23] Takeru
    I'm prepared to fight to the end.
[10:26] Takeru
    That's how I'll make amends
    for surviving where others didn't.
[10:40] Yuuko
    Well...
[10:42] Yuuko
    Looks like I can actually depend on you now.
[10:47] Kasumi
    Oh. I got it wrong.
[10:50] Takeru
    Kasumi, you wanna run
    your pinky through the bottom.
[10:53] Kasumi
    Shirogane-san...
[10:55] Takeru
    My talk with Sensei ran late.
[10:57] Takeru
    How's Sumika—
[10:58] Sumika
    No!
[10:59] Sumika
    Stop it. No.
[11:02] Sumika
    No more! No!
[11:03] Sumika
    Stop it!
[11:04] Takeru
    Sumika, it's okay! I'm right here!
[11:09] Takeru
    Sumika?!
[11:11] Sumika
    No! Let Takeru-chan go!
[11:12] Takeru
    Sumika, calm down! It's okay! You're all right!
[11:15] Sumika
    No!
[11:15] Takeru
    You don't have to worry anymore!
[11:23] Kasumi
    Something about her feels different.
[11:29] Kasumi
    She's only like this around you.
[11:35] Takeru
    Only when she's with me?
[11:37] Kasumi
    Yes. Her feelings are
    more mixed-up than usual.
[11:42] Kasumi
    It's hard to explain. I'm sorry.
[11:46] Takeru
    No, it's okay.
[11:49] Takeru
    I still haven't apologized to you yet.
[11:53] Takeru
    I'm sorry I ran off.
    I was a weakling, like you said.
[11:58] Takeru
    But I won't do it again.
[11:59] Takeru
    I'm gonna fight, to make it up
    to the people I made trouble for.
[12:03] Takeru
    So...
[12:05] Kasumi
    You're not a weakling anymore.
[12:10] Kasumi
    Thank you for coming back.
[12:16] Takeru
    Say, Kasumi...
[12:17] Takeru
    Did you ever read anything
[12:20] Takeru
    about our counterparts
    in this world that made an impression?
[12:27] Kasumi
    From what I've seen...
[12:29] Kasumi
    Your face when you wake up.
    When you laugh. When you eat.
[12:36] Takeru
    Hang on. Don't you have
    anything a little more... substantial?
[12:40] Kasumi
    No.
[12:44] Takeru
    What about that stuff you imitated?
[12:47] Kasumi
    Those were the memories
    I read from you about Sumika-san.
[12:52] Takeru
    Wait, you've been reading both our memories?
[12:56] Kasumi
    Yes.
[12:58] Takeru
    Oh, man...
[13:01] Takeru
    Would there be any point in
    sharing my memories with her?
[13:05] Kasumi
    Please, have faith.
[13:08] Kasumi
    The memories you have
    of Sumika-san are full of joy.
[13:13] Kasumi
    You should tell her about them.
[13:15] Takeru
    I see... I guess I should.
[13:19] Takeru
    My memories of Sumika, huh?
[13:23] Takeru
    If nothing else, we've known
    each other for a long time.
[13:28] Takeru
    That's it!
[13:30] Takeru
    The stuffed animal!
[13:32] Yuuko
    Yeah, those don't exist here.
[13:34] Yuuko
    Why don't you make it yourself?
[13:36] Takeru
    Me?
[13:37] Yuuko
    The 00 Unit has the same reading
    and projection abilities as Yashiro.
[13:43] Yuuko
    Which means that if you
    give her a heartfelt gift...
[13:46] Yuuko
    It'll be like giving her
    the memories along with it.
[13:49] Yuuko
    That should make up for any deficiencies
    in the actual product. It's a good plan.
[14:33] Chizuru
    Our Shiranui units are finally here.
[14:38] Kasumi
    Right. And then...
[14:41] Kasumi
    You take this finger and do this. And then...
[14:44] Sumika
    Not... like... that.
[14:49] Sumika
    First... do this.
[14:52] Takeru
    Sumika?
[14:53] Takeru
    She's actually reacting to
    Kasumi and keeping calm.
[14:58] Sumika
    Enough of this. Want more training.
[15:02] Sumika
    Need to train to kill them.
[15:05] Takeru
    Sumika, cat's cradle is
    way more fun than training.
[15:09] Sumika
    Don't care. Wanna kill.
[15:12] Sumika
    Wanna kill. Right now.
    Slaughter all of them.
[15:15] Sumika
    Don't take him! No! Stop it!
[15:17] Takeru
    It's okay, Sumika! No one's
    taking anything from you!
[15:18] Sumika
    Stop! Stop, just stop it, stop, please!
[15:20] Takeru
    Sumika!
[15:22] Sumika
    Don't... Don't take him from me!
[15:25] Sumika
    Don't take Takeru-chan away from me!
[15:31] Takeru
    What the hell happened to this
    world's versions of me and Sumika?!
[15:39] Takeru
    H-Hey! Sumika!
[15:44] Sumika
    Takeru-chan... why did you leave me?
[15:52] Takeru
    I'm not going anywhere. I'm right here.
[15:56] Sumika
    You really... really won't leave?
[16:02] Takeru
    Kasumi!
[16:03] Kasumi
    Sumika-san is giving off
    a very warm color right now.
[16:08] Kasumi
    It's never been like this before.
[16:11] Sumika
    It's true.
[16:14] Sumika
    It really is you, Takeru-chan.
[16:18] Takeru
    She actually recognizes me.
    Maybe now's the time.
[16:40] Takeru
    Sumika, come here for a sec.
[16:45] Takeru
    Hold your hands out.
[16:49] Takeru
    Now close your eyes.
[16:54] Takeru
    Okay, open them and take a look.
[17:01] Sumika
    What is it?
[17:02] Takeru
    I know it's kind of early, but that's
    your Christmas present from me.
[17:06] Sumika
    Christmas present?
[17:08] Takeru
    See, there's this guy called Santa Claus who's
    supposed to bring presents on Christmas.
[17:12] Takeru
    That's the story, anyway.
[17:15] Takeru
    But he doesn't really exist.
[17:19] Takeru
    Which is why, in the other world,
    I made a decision when I was little.
[17:24] Takeru
    Every year, I would give you
    a present in Santa's place.
[17:30] Takeru
    When I was little, I had no idea
    what those presents meant to you.
[17:37] Takeru
    That didn't actually change
    after I was grown.
[17:41] Takeru
    I never even realized how I felt about you.
[17:45] Sumika
    It's cold.
[17:46] Takeru
    Sorry!
[17:48] Takeru
    I guess I should've known
    it wouldn't be that easy.
[17:50] Sumika
    No. Then you'll be cold, Takeru-chan.
[17:53] Takeru
    You wanna head back, then?
[17:56] Sumika
    No. I want to stay longer.
[17:59] Takeru
    But you're cold...
[18:00] Sumika
    If I stay close,
[18:03] Sumika
    I'll be warm.
[18:10] Takeru
    Sumika...
[18:14] Sumika
    It's warm.
[18:16] Sumika
    You're warm, Takeru-chan.
[18:20] Takeru
    How so?
[18:22] Takeru
    You're really warm, Takeru-chan.
[18:26] Takeru
    And?
[18:27] Sumika
    But then...
[18:29] Sumika
    One day, you weren't anymore.
[18:33] Sumika
    Takeru-chan... you stopped being warm.
[18:37] Takeru
    Sumika?
[18:39] Sumika
    I'll get revenge!
[18:40] Sumika
    They ruined it all!
[18:42] Sumika
    They took everything from me!
    All of it, gone!
[18:46] Takeru
    It's okay, Sumika! It's all right!
[18:46] Sumika
    I'll make them suffer like I did!
[18:50] Takeru
    Sumika, don't worry about that!
[18:52] Sumika
    Revenge!
[18:52] Takeru
    You're gonna have to fight in time!
[18:55] Takeru
    But when it happens, I'll be with you!
    I swear I won't leave you!
[19:07] Takeru
    So for now... just be yourself, Sumika.
[19:13] Sumika
    Takeru-chan?
[19:20] Sumika
    It hurts. It hurts, Takeru-chan.
[19:24] Takeru
    Sumika?
[19:25] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, help me.
[19:28] Takeru
    I'm right here! I'm by your side.
[19:32] Sumika
    You... really are. It's Takeru-chan.
[19:35] Takeru
    Sumika...
[19:37] Takeru
    Are you okay, Sumika?
[19:39] Sumika
    I can hear your voice.
[19:42] Sumika
    It smells like you.
[19:46] Takeru
    Sumika? Do you hear me?
[19:49] Sumika
    What are you talking about?
[19:51] Sumika
    Huh? What was I saying?
    I just want to kill them.
[19:57] Takeru
    H-Hey!
[19:59] Sumika
    It hurts. It really hurts.
    My head feels like it's gonna split.
[20:03] Takeru
    Sumika? Are you okay?
[20:09] Sumika
    It hurts! My head's gonna burst!
[20:12] Takeru
    Sumika—
[20:19] Sumika
    Guess what, Takeru-chan? I've got good news.
[20:26] Sumika
    I can finally get revenge on them.
    For the way they killed you.
[20:32] Sumika
    I'll kill every last one. Just wait, okay?
[20:35] Takeru
    They killed me?
[20:47] Yuuko
    Well, this is just fantastic!

    About the practical assessment?

    You're already going

    Didn't I used to wake you up every morning?

    You'll be briefed in detail
    by your commanders.
[03:10] Radhabinod
    I expect only the best from all of you.
[03:12] Radhabinod
    That is all!
[03:14] Isumi
    A-01 will be the only unit
    deploying from our base.
[03:19] Takeru
    Only us, huh?
[03:20] Isumi
    Our mission will be to escort and
     guard an experimental new weapon.
[03:27] Yuuko
    I'll be direct: Operation 21st was
     devised to test this new weapon.
[03:34] Yuuko
    You all need to keep that in mind.
[03:37] Yuuko
    It's not an exaggeration to say that
    both the IJA and Far East UN forces
[03:40] Yuuko
    will be acting as guards for the weapon.
SIGN    Valkyries A-Flight
[03:43] Yuuko
    You're going to be protecting

    the strategic anti-BETA weapon that is the
    linchpin in preventing humanity's extinction:
SIGN    Valkyries B-Flight
[03:49] Yuuko
    The XG-70b, also known as the Susano-O Mark II.
[03:55] Takeru
    It's so huge... That's not a TSF!
[03:58] Takeru
    Sumika's gonna pilot that thing?!
[04:02] Yuuko
    The XG-70b is a product of
    America's HI-MAERF project.
[04:06] Yuuko
    A prototype Tactical Aeronautical Fortress.
[04:10] Yuuko
    It's a conceptual pipe dream,
[04:12] Yuuko
    designed to enter enemy territory
    on its own and destroy a hive.
SIGN    Susano-O Mark II
SIGN    Charged Particle Cannon Firing Sequence
[04:16] Yuuko
    The anti-gravity field generated by the
     Moorcock-Lechte drive mounted inside it
[04:21] Yuuko
    is capable of neutralizing
    BETA laser offense,
[04:24] Yuuko
    while the charged particle cannon attacks,
    and eliminates, the hive.
[04:30] Takeru
    This world has technology like that?!
[04:34] Yuuko
    Ultimately, though, it was
    shelved before being finished.
[04:37] Yuuko
    And some less costly, more easily mass-produced
    weapons were the ultimate byproduct.
[04:44] Yuuko
    I'm talking about the G-Bombs.
[04:50] Yuuko
    I'd rather Japan not endure
    another one of those things,
[04:53] Yuuko
    so I procured this prototype.
[04:57] Yuuko
    Given that this is our first practical test,
    I'm playing things as safely as possible,
[05:01] Yuuko
    but depending on the outcome,
    all future anti-hive operations
[05:05] Yuuko
    may be performed with 1/100th
    of the manpower we'll be utilizing.
[05:08] Yuuko
    And if we accomplish that?
    Then "victory for humanity"
[05:12] Yuuko
    starts to sound like an actual possibility
    for the first time in this entire war.
[05:17] Yuuko
    The success of Alternative IV is tied
    to the success of this operation.
[05:21] Yuuko
    I'm counting on you.
[05:23] A-01
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:27] Isumi
    I'll brief you on the specifics of the
     operation the day before we head out.
[05:31] Isumi
    Dismissed.
[05:33] Akane
    Well, this is a really big deal, right?
[05:35] Touko
    Yeah, really.
[05:37] Akane
    "Yeah, really"?

    Let's do our best!
[05:45] Hayase; Manakata
    Of course you'd say that.
[05:59] Haruka
    Come on, Sakura-chan.
[06:00] Haruka
    Oh, right! I'll see you later.
[06:03] Tama
    Okay!
[06:04] Mikoto
    Later!
[06:05] Chizuru
    See you around.
[06:07] Takeru
    This is finally it.
[06:08] Chizuru
    Yeah. After all this time.
[06:10] Meiya
    Right.
[06:11] Meiya
    We'll be having our first true battle.

[06:47] Tsukuyomi
    Lieutenant Shirogane.
[06:50] Takeru
    Lieutenant Tsukuyomi!
[06:54] Tsukuyomi
    We haven't spoken since the incident.
[06:56] Takeru
    Thank you for everything you did.
[06:58] Tsukuyomi
    I'm the one who owes you gratitude.
[07:01] Tsukuyomi
    For protecting Her Majesty,
    and assisting Meiya-sama.
[07:06] Tsukuyomi
    You have my most sincere gratitude.
[07:08] Takeru
    I appreciate that.
[07:11] Tsukuyomi
    I realize it's a bit late, but congratulations
    on your commission, Lieutenant.
[07:15] Takeru
    Thanks.
[07:18] Tsukuyomi
    I have a favor to ask of you.
[07:21] Tsukuyomi
    Will you come with me?
[07:31] Takeru
    So... Tsukuyomi-san,
[07:34] Takeru
    what's this all about?
[07:39] Ikaruga
    It was just announced
SIGN    Elsewhere, 2:48 AM
[07:41] Ikaruga
    by UN command and the General Staff Office
[07:46] Ikaruga
    that Operation 21st has been ordered.
SIGN    Operational Outline for the
     Recovery of Sadogashima
[07:55] (Flashback) Ikaruga
    You will prepare to take to the field,
    representing the Royal Guard.
[08:05] Tsukuyomi
    This is a personal request of mine.
[08:09] Tsukuyomi
    Please, look after Meiya-sama.
[08:12] Tsukuyomi
    Pitiful as it is, there is no one
    else I can turn to.
[08:16] Tsukuyomi
    If you find that she seems to
    rush to her death in battle...
[08:23] Tsukuyomi
    All I ask is that you admonish her.
[08:26] Tsukuyomi
    I beg you.
[08:30] Takeru
    Come on, Lieutenant, that's not necessary!
[08:33] Takeru
    I would've done that,
    even if you hadn't asked.
[08:37] Tsukuyomi
    My unit has been relieved of
    our mission to guard Meiya-sama.
[08:41] Tsukuyomi
    We will no longer be protecting her.
[08:44] Takeru
    But she's related to the Shogun, isn't she?
[08:47] Takeru
    And the Shogun's the most
    important person in Japan.
[08:51] Tsukuyomi
    You really aren't from this country, are you?
[08:56] Tsukuyomi
    Not that it makes a difference anymore.
[08:59] Tsukuyomi
    Shogun is a title bestowed
    by His Imperial Grace
[09:02] Tsukuyomi
    to the individual who becomes
    head of state affairs.
[09:05] Tsukuyomi
    In more antiquated terms,
    they are like a regent.
[09:08] Tsukuyomi
    After our loss in the war, the Shogun
    had practically become a figurehead.
[09:13] Tsukuyomi
    However, with the invasion of the BETA,
    and the recent uprising,
[09:16] Tsukuyomi
    the position has had its authority restored.
[09:20] Takeru
    If the office has its power back,
[09:22] Takeru
    isn't that all the more reason
    to make sure Meiya has security?
[09:24] Tsukuyomi
    In acting as a decoy for Her Majesty,
[09:27] Tsukuyomi
    Meiya-sama's presence has
     become public knowledge.
[09:30] Tsukuyomi
    The Office of the Shogunate
    now has concerns that Meiya-sama
[09:35] Tsukuyomi
    may be used by the Americans
    to carry out a similar incident.
[09:37] Takeru
    If they want to pretend she's not related to
    the Shogun, then she can't have security.
[09:41] Takeru
    Wait, did they let her commission
    go through because they want her KIA?
[09:48] Takeru
    How the hell is that fair?!
[09:50] Takeru
    After what she went through because of
    her love for this country and Her Majesty,
[09:53] Takeru
    even going so far as to be a decoy...?
[09:56] (Flashback) Meiya
    What drove you to strike
    down your fellow man?!
[10:04] Takeru
    And now... she really has been...
[10:08] Takeru
    abandoned, hasn't she?
[10:22] Takeru
    Lieutenant, I have faith in Meiya.
[10:26] Takeru
    After everything that's happened,
    I think it finally means
[10:30] Takeru
    that she can actually
    begin living for herself.
[10:34] Takeru
    She'll probably keep fighting for the sake of
    Her Majesty, and the Japanese people.
[10:38] Takeru
    But I don't think she'll do
     anything to end her own life.
[10:42] Takeru
    That's what I believe.
[10:47] Tsukuyomi
    Right.
[10:59] Meiya
    Takeru.
[11:00] Takeru
    Meiya?
[11:04] Meiya
    There was something I wished to ask you.
[11:09] Meiya
    Y-You were with someone, the other day.
[11:13] Meiya
    Who is she?
[11:15] Takeru
    It must've been then...
[11:18] Takeru
    Oh. You saw us, huh?
[11:22] Meiya
    "Sumika."
[11:25] Meiya
    You mentioned that name before.
[11:28] Meiya
    And that you had been
    separated from that person.
[11:32] Meiya
    Unseemly as it might be, I was wondering...
[11:35] Meiya
    If the woman you were with was this Sumika.
[11:40] Meiya
    I can hardly imagine
    why I was struck by such a notion.
[11:45] Takeru
    Meiya...
[11:47] Takeru
    That girl's involved with my
    special mission from Yuuko-sensei.
[11:51] Takeru
    So I can't even tell you whether or not
    your suspicions are right, yet.
[11:56] Meiya
    I see. But of course. I apologize.
[12:00] Takeru
    Look, Meiya, I appreciate
    you being honest with me,
[12:04] Takeru
    and I think the way
    you do things is admirable.
[12:06] Takeru
    But you can afford to cut yourself
    more of a break, y'know?
[12:12] Takeru
    You don't have to act like part of
    the Shogunate anymore.
[12:17] Meiya
    I'll try to keep your advice in mind.
[12:25] Isumi
    Listen up, people!
[12:27] Isumi
    The BETA always prioritize the machines
[12:29] Isumi
    with the highest computational power
    in the immediate area.

    Yes, ma'am!
[12:50] Yuuko

    if you intend on surviving.
[12:53] Yuuko
    There are a few points to note
    while escorting the Susano-O Mark II.

    What?! You morons!
    Are you trying to get killed?!
[13:51] Isumi
    Take this seriously, damn it!
[13:53] Isumi
    Get it together!
[13:55] A-01
    Yes, ma'am!
[13:56] Isumi
    It's time to explain our role
    in Operation 21st.
[13:59] Isumi
    First, the UN Space Force will launch
    an orbital bombardment,
[14:03] Isumi
    followed by long-range saturation fire from
    the Imperial Combined Fleet 2nd Squadron.
[14:09] Isumi
    After that, the Imperial Navy's
    17th Tactical Armored Squadron
[14:11] Isumi
    will launch an amphibious assault
    to secure a beachhead.
[14:14] Isumi
    Whiskey Unit will then land.
[14:16] Isumi
    Their job is to lure away enemy
     reinforcements deployed by the hive.
[14:18] Isumi
    After that will come the UN Fleet and Imperial
    Combined Fleet 3rd Squadron's bombardment.
[14:23] Isumi
    That's when Echo Unit takes to the field
    to further split enemy forces.
[14:27] Isumi
    Then the Orbital Divers will be dropping in.
[14:30] Isumi
    Their objective will be
    infiltrating Target 21.
[14:32] Isumi
    Once Orbital Divers confirms reaching
    the fourth stratum of the hive,
[14:35] Isumi
    Whiskey Unit will rendezvous with them
    and begin to occupy it.
[14:38] Isumi
    That's where we come in.
[14:40] Isumi
    Our only objective is the escort mission.
    Once we land, we'll head south with Echo.
[14:44] Isumi
    The Susano-O Mark II,
    A-02 for the purpose of this mission,
[14:47] Isumi
    will deploy from Yokohama Base.
[14:48] Isumi
    Until it arrives,
[14:50] Isumi
    our job is to clear a path along a southeast
    trajectory, and to then secure that route.
[14:53] Isumi
    If the Orbital Divers have successfully
    taken the hive at that point,
[14:56] Isumi
    then we'll commence collecting intel.
[14:58] Isumi
    But if they fail, A-02 will launch an attack
    aimed at neutralizing the hive
[15:01] Isumi
    and any remaining forces in it.
[15:04] Isumi
    The XO will be taking command
    from the Imperial Navy's flagship,
[15:06] Isumi
    the heavy cruiser Mogami.
[15:08] Isumi
    Once operations have wrapped up,
    we return to Yokohama Base within 48 hours.
[15:12] Isumi
    That about covers it.
[15:18] Kyozuka
    Hey, kids!
[15:21] Kyozuka
    Anyone want seconds?
[15:22] A-01
    Here!
[15:22] A-01

[16:05] Chizuru
    We can pay back Instructor Jinguuji and

    Sure sounds strong enough.
[18:15] Kashiwagi
    Here's hoping the test goes well.
[18:18] Takeru
    We'll be in real trouble if it doesn't.
[18:20] Takeru
    Humanity's future is on the line.
[18:23] Kashiwagi
    If it's a success, though, and the
    Susano-O gets officially adopted...
[18:28] Kashiwagi
    Maybe my little brothers won't have to fight.
[18:33] Kashiwagi
    I guess I'm being selfish, huh?
[18:37] Takeru
    You're fighting for your
    family, then, Kashiwagi?
[18:41] Kashiwagi
    When you straight up ask me
    like that, I'm not so sure.
[18:46] Kashiwagi
    I guess it's important
    to prioritize your motivations?
[18:51] Takeru
    I dunno.
[18:52] Takeru
    But I know that I wouldn't have been able
    to move forward if I didn't.
[18:57] Kashiwagi
    I see. You've had your own
    share of troubles, huh?
[19:03] Kashiwagi
    Maybe I'll think about
    my priorities some, too.
[19:07] Kashiwagi
    Thanks for the tea.
[19:09] Takeru
    Sure.
[19:16] Takeru
    Selfish, huh?
[19:18] Takeru
    I guess I'm the same way about Sumika.
[19:31] Sumika
    Takeru-chan...
[19:37] Isumi
    Can't sleep, Shirogane?
[19:39] Takeru
    Captain.
[19:40] Takeru
    Not tonight. It's kinda...
[19:41] Isumi
    I bet.
[19:43] Isumi
    I never asked, but what are you
    fighting for, anyway?
[19:47] Takeru
    There are a lot of things I ruined,
[19:49] Takeru
    and other things that I care about,
    that I'm fighting to get back.
[19:52] Isumi
    I see.
[19:54] Isumi
    The Americans ran a psychological
    study comparing mindsets
[19:57] Isumi
    between the world wars and the BETA war.
[19:59] Isumi
    What do you think the number one reason
    that soldiers were willing to fight was?
[20:02] Takeru
    To protect humanity or the Earth?
[20:04] Isumi
    Apparently, it was for their comrades.
[20:06] Isumi
    That's how it is for me. I want my war
    buddies to survive as long as possible.
[20:13] Takeru
    Um, hypothetically...
[20:15] Takeru
    Let's say you were going out with someone
    in the same squad, and they're a VIP.
[20:20] Takeru
    In terms of carrying out the mission,
[20:22] Takeru
    how much would you let emotions
    influence your actions, Captain?
[20:25] Isumi
    That's a tough situation to cook up.
[20:29] Isumi
    Since I'm a fragile coward,
[20:32] Isumi
    I'm pretty sure they'd be a big influence,
    as long as it didn't disrupt the mission.
[20:37] Isumi
    I used to fight because there was
    a man I wanted to be reunited with.
[20:41] Isumi
    But the more battles I made it through,
[20:43] Isumi
    the stronger my desire became
    to keep my comrades alive.
[20:46] Isumi
    You might experience a similar shift
    with your sweetheart.
[20:51] Takeru
    Was he your boyfriend, captain?
[20:54] Isumi
    My boyfriend?
[20:55] Isumi
    As things currently stand,
    it's completely unrequited on my end.
[20:58] Takeru
    Sounds kinda ambiguous.
[21:00] Isumi
    Well, the problem is that I had
    three other rivals for his affections,
[21:02] Isumi
    and to make it worse, they're all my sisters.
[21:06] Isumi
    My older sister's in Internal Affairs,
[21:07] Isumi
    and the younger two along with
    the guy are TSF pilots with the IJA.
[21:11] Takeru
    Wait, are they...
[21:13] Isumi
    From what I could tell at a glance,
    my youngest sister is involved in this op.
[21:18] Takeru
    You must be worried.
[21:20] Isumi
    I just have to trust in her,
    and focus on my own job.
[21:24] Isumi
    The only upside is that he and my sister
    have no idea that I'm here.
[21:30] Takeru
    You should try making a move
    on him once the mission's over!
[21:33] Isumi
    Well, he's sort of a childhood friend, too.
[21:38] Takeru
    The truth is, my girl is a
     childhood friend, too.
[21:42] Isumi
    I suddenly have this urge to kill you.
[21:46] Takeru
    But why?!
[21:47] Isumi
    Never mind!
[21:49] Isumi
    Just for reference... what was it
    that made you realize how she felt?
[21:55] (Flashback) Sumika
    How's that feel, Takeru-chan?
[21:58] Isumi
    What is it?
[21:59] Takeru
    W-Well... she sorta...
[22:02] Isumi
    Wha—What?!
[22:04] Isumi
    I mean, I guess even someone as dense
    as him could figure it out after that...
[22:08] Isumi
    Still!
[22:10] Isumi
    You need to survive this battle,
    and make it up to her!
[22:14] Isumi
    Those are your orders! Let's hear them!
[22:16] Takeru
    I will survive, and
    I will make it up to Sumika!
[22:20] Isumi
    Sumika. That's a beautiful name.
[22:23] Isumi
    Take good care of her for as long as you can.
[22:26] Takeru
    I would've done it
    even without the order, ma'am.
[22:30] Isumi
    Somehow, that ticks me off.
[22:33] Isumi
    I didn't think we'd be out here
     this long. I'm heading back.

    You've got a point. My apologies, Admiral.

    Perhaps it's needless worry...
    but I was curious.
[08:43] Meiya
    Is everything fine?
[08:44] Takeru
    Yeah. The captain had me go
    through a bit of hypnotherapy.
[08:48] Takeru

[11:08] Takeru
    Were they seriously wiped out that quickly?
[11:08] Haruka
    A-02's new objective is
    neutralization of the hive.

[12:16] Munakata
    Likewise. C-Flight's done on our end.
[12:19] Isumi
    Can't believe Hayase's team got the drop
    on us again. She stole three of our kills.

    My people are good at their jobs!
[12:32] Isumi
    I take it they've finally

    What is it, Kazama?
[12:56] Touko
    All the BETA in the vicinity of the hive...
    are headed our way.
[13:01] Mikoto
    No way! Were the diversionary
    forces wiped out?!
[13:04] Chizuru
    Their markers are still active.
[13:06] Chizuru
    Over half of them
    are still intact, so why...?
[13:08] Ayamine
    Only the BETA could answer that.
[13:11] Kashiwagi
    Well said, Ayamine! We're not gonna
    get any answers worrying about it.
[13:15] Akane
    We've just got to fight!
[13:17] Akane
    We need to hold the
     staging position, no matter what!
[13:19] Meiya
    Indeed. Fulfilling our mission
    is the only way
[13:22] Meiya
    we can repay those who passed on before us.
[13:25] Isumi
    Gather all the resupply
    containers as you can!
[13:28] Isumi
    We're gonna set up a defensive line
    at the Niibo dam,
[13:31] Isumi
    200 meters from the staging point.
[13:33] A-01
    Roger that!
[13:34] Isumi
    Valkyrie-1 to HQ, we've got
    a division-sized herd headed our way.
[13:38] Isumi
    Requesting artillery support.
[13:40] Pyatkh
    HQ to all operational fleets.
[13:43] Pyatkh
    Please target the following coordinates
    with your fire support.
[13:53] Touko
    Here comes the artillery!
[14:01] Munakata
    What a relief. Here's hoping
    this actually clears them out.
[14:08] Munakata
    Laser-Class?!
[14:09] Isumi
    All units, fall back to the defensive line!
    Use the cliffs for cover!
[14:14] Pyatkh
    70% of the fusillade was shot down.
[14:16] Pyatkh
    The BETA forces are still headed
    toward A-02's staging position
[14:19] Pyatkh
    at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
[14:22] Pyatkh
    From the amount of interceptor fire,
    we estimate at least 100 Laser-Class.
[14:25] Yuuko
    This isn't good. We didn't
    anticipate a reserve force this big.
[14:30] Ozawa
    XO, we should switch to
    anti-laser rounds immediately.
[14:34] Ozawa
    That strain always prioritizes flying objects.
[14:37] Ozawa
    Even if we can't actually
    thin their numbers out,
[14:39] Ozawa
    we can keep them from targeting our allies.
[14:42] Yuuko
    Makes sense. Let's do it.
[14:45] Yuuko
    You catch all that, Lieutenant Pyatkh?
[14:47] Pyatkh
    Yes, ma'am.
[14:48] Yuuko
    Admiral Ozawa, I believe
    that the BETA are after A-02.
[14:53] Yuuko
    The fact that the Laser-Class weren't used
    to attack until now points in that direction.
[14:57] Ozawa
    Remarkable. How could they
    possibly know about it?
[15:00] Yuuko
    I honestly couldn't tell you.
[15:02] Yuuko
    But it does fly, and it has the most advanced
[15:05] Ozawa
    computational abilities
    of anything in this area.
[15:07] Yuuko
    Other than that,
[15:08] Ozawa
    the only other thing I can think of is
    that it has some one-of-a-kind hardware.
[15:12] Ozawa
    Regardless, if A-02 is humanity's
    secret weapon, we can't let them reach it.
[15:18] Yuuko
    That's what the escort unit is for.
[15:20] Yuuko
    He...
[15:21] Yuuko
    No, they will be able to manage.
[15:24] Haruka
    The fleet is currently
    switching to anti-laser shells.
[15:27] Haruka
    Their bombardment will resume in ten minutes.
[15:29] Chizuru
    And in ten minutes, the BETA will have
     covered another four kilometers.
[15:33] Takeru
    Damn it! Are we just gonna
    have to hide until then?
[15:37] Ayamine
    Not much else we can do
    if there are Laser-Class.
[15:39] Tama
    And then then four minutes after that,
    the Laser-Class will be here...
[15:43] Mikoto
    I guess the operation depends on
    how many Laser-Class
[15:46] Mikoto
    the fire support can blast
    in those four minutes.
[15:50] Takeru
    The Destroyer-Class are the fastest strain,
    and they'll be here even sooner.
[15:53] Takeru
    I don't see how we can get
    behind them while maintaining cover.
[15:55] Mikoto
    What can we manage in 14 minutes?
[15:58] Ayamine
    That's enough time to eat 15 yakisoba buns.
[16:01] Tama
    I'm impressed you can even
    think about food right now.
[16:04] Chizuru
    I get queasy just hearing about it.
[16:07] Meiya
    They do say that eating is
    part of a soldier's duties, but...
[16:12] Tama
    I hope we all get to eat back
    at the cafeteria again.
[16:18] Meiya
    The base is where our hearts will return.
[16:22] Takeru
    Guys, quit being so—
[16:23] Hayase
    Unbelievable!
[16:25] Hayase
    The second I give you a little credit,
    there's all this melodrama!
[16:30] Isumi
    Listen up, people.
    Here's what we're dealing with.
[16:33] Isumi
    The advance enemy force will hit the defensive
    line in 10 minutes, and the main force in 14.
[16:37] Isumi
    In other words, that's when they reach us.
[16:41] Takeru
    Around the same time,
    the fire support will kick back in.
[16:43] Takeru
    But even with artillery backing us up,
    are we seriously gonna expose ourselves
[16:47] Takeru
    to Laser-Class fire while trying to take on
    a swarm of Destroyer-Class?
[16:49] Isumi
    There are two reasons this spot
    was chosen to stage the firing sequence:
[16:53] Isumi
    The geography still matches
    what we have on record,
[16:55] Isumi
    and that geography opens up,
    facing directly towards the hive.
[16:58] Isumi
    By moving through this valley,
[17:01] Isumi
    it limits the angle of attack
    that the Laser-Class can target.
[17:03] Isumi
    It also allows us to plan on firing
    the charged particle cannon
[17:06] Isumi
    without having to adjust for position.
[17:08] Isumi
    The thing is, this location works out
    for us, just as much as A-02.
[17:13] Isumi
    Considering how we haven't been
    shot down after our fire support stopped,
[17:17] Isumi
    we can assume that the enemy is after A-02.
[17:21] Takeru
    The Susano-O?! They already know it's coming?
[17:24] Isumi
    We're all going to hide
    behind cover and cut our engines.
[17:27] Isumi
    A-Flight and C-Flight will face away
    from the enemy, with B-Flight facing them.
[17:31] Isumi
    We'll be down to our Fortified Suits'
    passive systems for comms.
[17:34] Isumi
    Valkyrie Mom will give us
    the signal to start back up.
[17:37] Isumi
    Once the enemy vanguard passes us by,
[17:38] Isumi
    A-Flight and C-Flight will jump on them
    from behind, wiping them out.
[17:42] Isumi
    The tightness of the valley
    will be a real problem
[17:44] Isumi
    for a large number of
    advancing Destroyer-Class,
[17:46] Isumi
    and turning around
    will be an ordeal for them.
[17:48] Takeru
    That'll mean we can get the drop
    on them while still behind cover!
[17:51] Isumi
    Fill their asses full of depleted uranium.
[17:54] Isumi
    Once our support fire has got
    a heavy metal cloud in place again,
[17:57] Isumi
    B-Flight will assault the main force.
[17:59] Isumi
    C-Flight turns around to back them up.
[18:02] Ayamine
    We're charging their main force?
[18:04] Isumi
    Rutherford field or not,
    we're can't risk a worst-case scenario.
[18:09] Isumi
    I want every last Heavy Laser-Class
    on this battlefield dead!
[18:12] A-01
    Roger!
[18:22] Takeru
    So we're taking on thousands
    of BETA with 13 TSFs...
[18:27] Hayase
    You heard the plan, people.
[18:29] Hayase
    If you stick to your training,
    I'll kick your butts!
[18:31] Takeru
    Uh, Lieutenant Hayase, isn't this usually
[18:34] Takeru
    where they say "stick to your training
    and you'll be fine"?
[18:37] Hayase
    You think we can afford that kind of
    softball shit in this situation?!
[18:40] Hayase
    I expect better performance
    than during training! Got that?!
[18:43] Meiya/Ayamine
    Roger.
[18:44] Hayase
    Especially with you, Shirogane.
[18:45] Hayase
    I need a real hotshot,
    ace-pilot performance, okay?
[18:50] Takeru
    R-Roger that.
[18:52] Hayase
    I'm counting on you.
[18:56] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
[18:58] Haruka
    the enemy vanguard is continuing to advance
    at a pace of 90 kilometers per hour.
[19:01] Haruka
    360 seconds until they reach
    the defensive line.
[19:04] Takeru
    Damn it...
[19:05] Takeru
    I've got some real bad memories
    when it comes to dark cockpits.
[19:13] Takeru
    But I'm fine now!
    The hypnotherapy saw to that.
[19:21] Takeru
    Wait, what was that? Why were Meiya and I...
[19:25] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
[19:27] Haruka
    the enemy vanguard
    is passing the defensive line!
[19:29] Haruka

    So annoying!
[20:44] Akane
    If we don't get past them soon,
    we'll be overwhelmed!
[20:46] Takeru
    We need to clear out the Laser-Class before
    the Susano-O enters their line of fire...
[20:50] Takeru
    Damn it, no time for second guessing!
[20:54] Takeru
    Lieutenant Hayase!
[20:55] Takeru
    I'm volunteering to be a diversion.
[20:56] Takeru
    I'll keep them busy while
    the rest of you go for the kill!

[21:02] Akane
    It won't work! In this kind of melee,
     you'd be cut off!
[21:05] Hayase
    You sure about this? Even if they pin you down,
    I have to prioritize the Laser-Class.
[21:10] Takeru
    I'll be okay. You wanted better performance
    than during training, right?
[21:15] Hayase
    Sic 'em, Shirogane!

    It's not responding! And coming down!
[14:07] Pyatkh
    The Moorcock-Lechte Drive is silent
    and Rutherford field is down.
[14:10] Pyatkh
    Plan B cannot continue.
[14:12] Ozawa
    The Susano-O...
[14:14] Ozawa
    XO, what can be done now?
[14:15] Yuuko
    I want a systems check!
    Find out why this happened!
[14:18] Pyatkh
    It's underway, but...
[14:20] Pyatkh
    There's no sign of any malfunctions in A-02!
[14:23] Yuuko
    What?!
[14:23] Lady Operator
    A-02 is down! I repeat,
    A-02 has crashed down!
[14:24] Yuuko
    Wait...
[14:26] Hayase
    The Susano-O...
[14:28] Isumi
    I want all of you in defensive positions
    and standing by for orders!
[14:32] Takeru
    It fell...
[14:35] Takeru
    Did something happen to Sumika?!
[14:37] Yuuko
    You read me, Shirogane?
[14:39] Takeru
    Sensei, what happened to the Susano-O?!
[14:41] Yuuko
    The XG-70's mechanical systems
    are fully operational.
[14:45] Yuuko
    But it's not accepting the restart code.
[14:47] Takeru
    Then is it Sumika?
[14:49] Takeru
    Has the 00-Unit shut down?
[14:52] Yuuko
    You can relax.
    She's not in critical condition.
[14:56] Yuuko
    The reason we can't assume
    remote control has to do
[14:59] Yuuko
    with the 00-Unit being in stand-alone mode.
[15:01] Yuuko
    In human terms, she's unconscious.
[15:06] Yuuko
    Here's what you need to do:
    Recover the 00-Unit and withdraw from battle.
[15:11] Yuuko
    I've sent you all the data you'll need.
[15:13] Takeru
    What about the Susano-O?
[15:16] Yuuko
    In accordance with Plan G,
    we'll ultimately be blowing it up.
[15:20] Takeru
    B-Blow it up!?
[15:21] Takeru
    But isn't it humanity's secret weapon?!
[15:24] Yuuko
    As long as the possibility of the BETA
    having advanced intelligence exists,
[15:27] Yuuko
    we can't risk them capturing the XG-70.
[15:31] Yuuko
    Besides, you need to understand:
[15:33] Yuuko
    The 00-Unit is mankind's secret weapon.
[15:36] Takeru
    But wouldn't the autopilot be
    enough to have it return to base?
[15:40] Yuuko
    I just told you,
    it's not accepting remote control!
[15:42] Yuuko
    I'll have Isumi activate it directly.
[15:44] Yuuko
    We're running out of time,
    so I'm patching her in.
[15:46] Yuuko
    Sorry about the delay.
[15:48] Yuuko
    The top priority of this mission is
    retrieving the 00-Unit unharmed.
[15:52] Yuuko
    Then comes disposing
    of the XG-70 via explosives.
[15:55] Yuuko
    If time allows, we'll attempt
    to activate autopilot manually.
[16:00] Yuuko
    But if we can't get it in the air
[16:02] Yuuko
    before the the slowest
    of the ships has left the war zone...
[16:05] Yuuko
    We'll need to detonate it in the end.
[16:07] Yuuko
    Got it?
[16:08] Isumi
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:08] Takeru
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:10] Yuuko
    After you collect the 00-Unit, Shirogane,
[16:12] Yuuko
    I want you leaving
    the combat zone via NOE flight.
[16:14] Yuuko
    Once you're out to sea,
    head northward at top speed,
[16:17] Yuuko
    and come directly to the flagship.
[16:20] Yuuko
    After Shirogane retrieves the 00-Unit,
[16:23] Yuuko
    Isumi will head to the control block,
    and try to engage the autopilot.
[16:27] Yuuko
    I need you two to get to work.
[16:30] Yuuko
    Plan G will be announced in five minutes.
[16:32] Isumi
    Roger!
[16:32] Takeru
    Roger!
[16:34] Isumi
    I'm headed to the main hatch.
[16:47] Isumi
    Entering passcode...
[16:49] Isumi
    And accepted.
[17:08] Takeru
    Sumika!
[17:10] Isumi
    Hey, Shirogane!
[17:12] Takeru
    Hey! Sumika!
[17:14] Takeru
    Sumika! Come on, Sumika!
[17:17] Takeru
    Are you okay?!
[17:18] Takeru
    Sumika!
[17:19] Isumi
    Sumika?
[17:21] Takeru
    Is she really okay?! Sumika!
[17:24] Yuuko
    Settle down!
[17:26] Yuuko
    And don't agitate her, not when
    we don't know what caused this.
[17:37] Takeru
    I-I'm recovering the 00-Unit.
[17:45] Isumi
    Shirogane...
[17:48] Isumi
    Is that girl... the 00-Unit?
[17:55] Isumi
    I see. That's what you meant.
[17:58] Takeru
    Captain?
[18:00] Isumi
    Don't worry. Let's get her
    out of here. I'll help.
[18:03] Takeru
    I'll take care of it.
    You need to activate the autopilot.
[18:07] Takeru
    Please, don't let them blow up the Susano-O.
[18:10] Isumi
    Okay.
[18:14] Touko
    Captain, we've got more than a division's
    worth of BETA moving underground!
[18:19] Isumi
    Where are they estimated to surface?
[18:20] Touko
    They're registering all across the island!
[18:22] Touko
    It seems likely they're responding to the
    ships that are recovering Whiskey and Echo.
[18:27] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
    BETA are surfacing all across Sado!
[18:32] Isumi
    You heard her, Hayase, Munakata.
[18:35] Isumi
    Take your flights and set up a perimeter.
[18:38] Isumi
    Do not let the BETA reach the Susano-O!
[18:39] Commanders
    Roger!
[18:46] Isumi
    I'm going to need some time.
[18:48] Isumi
    Shirogane, get the hell out of here.
[18:50] Yuuko
    Hold it.
[18:51] Yuuko
    A bunch of Fort-Class and Laser-Class have
    popped up near Mano Bay, along the evac route.
[18:58] Yuuko
    Isumi, keep trying to get
    the autopilot online.
[19:00] Yuuko
    We're going to chart another
     evac route for the 00-Unit.
[19:03] Yuuko
    Shirogane, be ready to move
    at a moment's notice.
[19:06] Yuuko
    Got it?
[19:07] Takeru
    Roger.
[19:13] Yuuko
    I'm back.
[19:15] Ozawa
    Maybe it'd be wisest to have him
    fly directly to the mainland.
[19:18] Yuuko
    If we're detonating A-02,
    then that isn't an option.
[19:22] Yuuko
    But if we have him take too much of
    a detour, he'll run out of propellant.
[19:26] Yuuko
    And if we rendezvous
    any closer to the island,
[19:29] Yuuko
    he'll be low on fuel, and likely
    caught in the blast of the explosion.
[19:33] Ozawa
    I see. Then the previous route
    was truly the best option.
[19:39] Yuuko
    I'd say the real problem is figuring out
    how to get him to these coordinates.
[19:48] Ozawa
    I think I may have a plan, XO.
[20:14] TSF Pilot
    I thought they blew up the hive!
[20:17] TSF Pilot (M)
    This is Oscar to Papa!
    We need a way out of the combat zone—
[20:17] Penal Pilot 1
    It's no good! They've abandoned us!
[20:20] Komaki
    Hold strong!
[20:22] Komaki
    We need to save as many of our
    comrades as we can by holding out!
[20:28] Komaki
    Come and get me, you BETA scum!
[20:38] Komaki
    Th-The combined fleet?!
[20:41] Mogami Operator 1
    The 2nd Squadron
    has entered the bay's waters!
[20:44] Mogami Operator 1
    The Shinano, Mino, and
     Kaga are all still intact!
[20:47] Yuuko
    They effectively made it into the
    bay untouched... That's a miracle.
[20:51] Haruka
    This is Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries!
    Plan G is now entering Phase 2!
[20:54] Kozawa
    This is where things get hairy, Abe-kun.
[20:56] Haruka
    I repeat...
[20:57] Haruka
    We are now in Plan G, Phase 2!
[21:01] Isumi
    You heard them. Get going, Shirogane.
[21:03] Takeru
    Right. Take care of the Susano-O, ma'am.
[21:06] Isumi
    I plan to keep trying for as long as I can.
[21:08] Isumi
    It'd be a real shame to have to
    abandon this thing.
[21:13] Isumi
    Shirogane...
[21:14] Takeru
    Yes?
[21:15] Isumi
    The 0...
[21:17] Isumi
    No. Take good care of that girl, you hear me?
[21:21] Isumi
    I'm counting on you.
[21:23] Takeru
    Right!

    XO, I think I may have a plan.
[00:08] Ozawa
    We'll have the 2nd Squadron,
    currently standing by, enter Mano Bay,
[00:12] Ozawa
    in order to temporarily
    secure the escape route.
[00:16] Yuuko
    That would put the 2nd Squadron
    directly in the line of enemy fire.
[00:19] Yuuko
    It'd turn into a shootout.

    Luckily, modern battleships are equipped with

[00:57] Yuuko
    You'll need to hold out

    in order to allow for the unit to withdraw.
[01:03] Yuuko
    I realize this is asking a lot, but...

    XO, it's nothing of the sort.
[01:07] Abe
    The thought of getting to
    open up directly on these bastards

[01:13] Abe
    They once said that aerial warfare
    had made vessels like this obsolete,

    and now we'll be blasting away at

    Right. Take care of the Susano-O, ma'am.
[07:40] Isumi

    Indeed. Please, be sure to protect
    the captain and the Susano-O.
[08:02] Isumi
    Change of plans, Kashiwagi.
    I want you escorting Shirogane, too.
[08:07] Isumi
    Hayase and the others ran into*
    the enemy over by Old Kokubunji.
[08:11] Isumi
    It's looking like there were a lot more of
    them underground than we anticipated.
[08:15] Isumi
    I want you to go with them, just in case.
[08:18] Meiya
    Captain, I think it'd be wiser to have
    at least one unit remain with the Susano-O.
[08:24] Isumi
    On what grounds?
[08:26] Meiya
    Two-person elements are the foundation
    of all TSF tactical organization.
[08:29] Meiya
    Without at least a single escort,
    the Susano-O will not only be defenseless,
[08:33] Meiya
    but should you need to escape,
    you'd be isolated, unable to form an element.
[08:37] Isumi
    Sounds like all the more reason to have
    Kashiwagi watch Shirogane's back with you.
[08:43] Isumi
    Recovering the main computer of
    the XG-70 aboard Shirogane's TSF
[08:47] Isumi
    is the highest priority of Operation 21st.
[08:51] Isumi
    Which means that, as much as possible,
[08:54] Isumi
    he needs to avoid combat and
    prioritize getting out of here safely.
[08:56] Isumi
    And that means it's up to you and Kashiwagi
    to form an element and do all the fighting.
[09:02] Isumi
    Mitsurugi, for someone
    with the kind of resolve you have,
[09:05] Isumi
    giving up your life to protect
    something might be simple.
[09:11] Isumi
    But a defensive mission means that the safety
    of your target is the baseline for success.
[09:15] Isumi
    You haven't done the job properly
    unless you also keep yourself alive.
[09:20] Isumi
    Sacrificing yourself to save
    others is noble, don't get me wrong,
[09:25] Isumi
    but it's the kind of trick
    you can only do once.
[09:27] Isumi
    If you're gonna die,
    then you need to consider the timing,
[09:29] Isumi
    and make sure that you do it when
    you're going to get the biggest return.
[09:33] Isumi
    You're like a unsheathed sword, Mitsurugi.
[09:37] Isumi
    You should learn from Kashiwagi's
    example and relax a little.
[09:40] Kashiwagi
    Uh, that's weird,
[09:42] Kashiwagi
    I always thought I took
    everything super-seriously?
[09:46] Isumi
    You get what I'm saying?

[12:31] Isumi
    XO, I've got access to the program.
[12:34] Yuuko
    Excellent work! How's it look?
[12:36] Isumi
    I've managed to secure control authority.
[12:39] Isumi
    Currently waiting for the autopilot and
    self-destruct programs to boot up.
[12:48] Isumi
    It cut out again!
[12:50] Pyatkh
    XO! A battalion-sized BETA herd
    has appeared in Area S!
[12:54] Pyatkh
    They're headed...
    for where the XG-07 crashed!
[13:00] Haruka
    XO! The BETA forces that were engaging
    the 2nd Squadron in Area SW...
[13:04] Haruka
    They're moving south!
[13:06] Isumi
    XO, the software has frozen
    and isn't responding.
[13:10] Yuuko
    What the hell is going on?
[13:12] Yuuko
    There are BETA in Area S
    that are headed your way!
[13:15] Yuuko
    We're out of time!
[13:16] Yuuko
    Cancel that attempt on the auto-pilot,
[13:18] Yuuko
    and focus on prepping to blow the Susano-O.
[13:21] Isumi
    Roger!
[13:22] Yuuko
    The BETA in the vicinity of Mano Bay
    are heading south for some reason, too.
[13:25] Yuuko
    If that route gets cut off,
[13:26] Yuuko
    the only way out will be to try
    and fly straight to the mainland!
[13:29] Yuuko
    Shirogane, why aren't you going faster?!
[13:36] Takeru
    More and more BETA
    keep appearing along the route!
[13:39] Yuuko
    There's been a sudden surge
    in BETA activity all across the island.
[13:43] Yuuko
    And the BETA near Mano Bay
    are moving southward.
[13:46] Yuuko
    You need to move fast before
    those Laser-Class pin you down!
[13:50] Takeru
    Hang on... The enemies in Area S
    are headed for the Susano-O!
[13:54] Yuuko
    Isumi's moved onto
    prepping it for detonation.
[13:57] Kashiwagi
    But with numbers like these...
SIGN    Laser Fire Warning
[14:02] Takeru
    Laser-Class?!
[14:06] Takeru
    Damn it! Too many of them!
[14:08] Takeru
    The auto-evade's...
[14:11] Takeru
    Cancel auto-evasion mode!
    Give me manual control!
[14:21] Meiya
    Takeru! Don't over-extend!
[14:24] Kashiwagi
    I don't think we've got time
    to take it easy, you guys.
[14:28] Takeru
    Kashiwagi... you...
[14:30] Meiya
    You were hit?
[14:32] Kashiwagi
    Hey, don't worry about me!
    Besides, the 2nd Squadron's still under fire!
[14:35] Kashiwagi
    Hurry!
[14:40] Takeru
    Kashiwagi, what're you doing?!
[14:42] Meiya
    Her unit's damaged...
[14:44] Kashiwagi
    Shirogane, Mitsurugi...
[14:46] Kashiwagi
    Hate to do this,
    but you've gotta go on ahead.
[14:48] Takeru
    What the hell are you saying?
    If you're that badly damaged—
[14:50] Meiya
    Takeru, I'm heading back.
[14:52] Meiya
    Focus on your escape.
[14:54] Kashiwagi
    No, Mitsurugi! You have to protect him!
[15:00] Takeru
    Where the hell do you think
    you're going, damn it?!
[15:03] Kashiwagi
    I'm going to back the captain up.
[15:05] Meiya
    What?!
[15:06] Kashiwagi
    Even if I went with you guys,
[15:08] Kashiwagi
    I wouldn't make it to the Mogami
    with my TSF in this shape.
[15:10] Kashiwagi
    Not with my propellant leaking.
    I'd just be in the way.
[15:14] Meiya
    Kashiwagi, I'll carry you in my unit!
[15:17] Kashiwagi
    The mission takes priority, Mitsurugi!
[15:19] Kashiwagi
    I've got seniority, and that's an order!
[15:24] Kashiwagi
    Your job is protecting Shirogane, remember?
[15:28] Meiya
    But...
[15:29] Kashiwagi
    You saw before, right?
[15:31] Kashiwagi
    How that hive crumbled when
     the Susano-O Mark II shot at it.
[15:36] Kashiwagi
    What the XO said
[15:38] Kashiwagi
    about the number of people dying in combat
    being cut down to less than 1/100th...
[15:41] Kashiwagi
    I think that, once the kinks get worked out
    of the Susano-O Mark II, she might be right.
[15:46] Kashiwagi
    And Shirogane's carrying its main computer.
    Humanity's best hope!
[15:51] Kashiwagi
    Our job is to get it safely
    out of this combat zone.
[15:55] Kashiwagi
    When rescuing someone who's in danger
    puts the mission as a whole at risk...
[15:58] Kashiwagi
    Then you leave them behind.
[16:01] Kashiwagi
    Am I right, Shirogane?
[16:03] Takeru
    Kashiwagi!
[16:06] (Flashback) Kashiwagi
    If it's a success, though, and the
    Susano-O gets officially adopted...
[16:11] (Flashback) Kashiwagi
    Maybe my little brothers won't have to fight.
[16:18] Takeru
    Meiya, we're maintaining our course.
[16:20] Takeru
    If you go back for Kashiwagi, you won't
    be able to reach the Mogami, either.
[16:24] Meiya
    Takeru...
[16:25] Kashiwagi
    That's our Shirogane! He gets it.
[16:29] Takeru
    Kashiwagi... Please, look after the captain.
[16:33] Kashiwagi
    Got it!
[16:34] Kashiwagi
    Mitsurugi, you said yourself the captain
    should have backup. No more arguing.
[16:39] Meiya
    Kashiwagi...
[16:40] Kashiwagi
    What's up?
[16:41] Meiya
    You must return to us.
[16:43] Meiya
    I still haven't learned how to relax
    from you in the way I need to.
[16:48] Kashiwagi
    Sure thing! I'll see you later.
[16:54] Kashiwagi
    I think I'm gonna need to learn
    from that resolve you have, Mitsurugi.
[17:02] Pyatkh
    The BETA in Area SW
    are still headed southward.
[17:05] Hasegawa
    Whiskey's collective losses are at 55%.
[17:06] Mogami Operator Suyama
    The 2nd Squadron are moving south along Mano
    Bay in order to prevent the BETA advance.
[17:08] Hasegawa
    Echo's losses are at 65%.
    They can't hold out much longer!
[17:10] Pyatkh
    Another 7,000 meters and the BETA
    in Area S will reach the A-02 crash site!
[17:14] Yuuko
    Isumi, the BETA are seven
    kilometers away from you.
[17:17] Yuuko
    You need to pick up the pace.
[17:18] Isumi
    The self-destruct program won't boot up...
[17:21] Isumi
    How's the squad doing?
[17:23] Yuuko
    Thanks to the 2nd Squadron's intervention,
[17:26] Yuuko
    Shirogane and the others should be able to
    make it out of the danger zone.
[17:29] Isumi
    Then that's why they started heading south.
[17:32] Yuuko
    Kashiwagi's jump unit took a hit, though.
[17:36] Isumi
    That girl... and right after
    I gave her some credit.
[17:38] Isumi
    She's prepping your unit as we speak.
[17:41] Isumi
    When it's time to clear out,
    it'll be the two of you in it.
[17:43] Isumi
    Wait, she came back?
[17:47] Yuuko
    Wasn't that the plan all along?
[17:50] Yuuko
    Just hurry up with that detonation.
[17:52] Isumi
    Roger that.
[17:53] Kashiwagi
    Ready to clear out when you are, Captain!
[17:56] Isumi
    What the hell are you doing back here?!
    And why didn't you say something sooner?!
[18:00] Kashiwagi
    We're supposed to be on limited comms.
[18:02] Isumi
    You're authorized for
    low-power transmissions!
[18:06] Kashiwagi
    I guess it slipped my mind?
[18:09] Isumi
    I'm gonna rake you over the coals
    once we get back!
[18:11] Kashiwagi
    Looking forward to it, ma'am!
[18:13] Isumi
    Damn it, Kashiwagi...
[18:16] Isumi
    Maybe I'm just a poor judge of character.
[18:25] Takeru
    Bastard!
[18:29] Takeru
    Meiya!
[18:31] Meiya
    You mustn't stop! Keep going!
[18:37] Mikoto
    Now, Miki-san!
[18:38] Tama
    Right! Firing!
[18:45] Takeru
    What the—
[18:47] Meiya
    Takeru, in front!
[18:53] Hayase
    What took you guys so long?
    We were getting tired of waiting!
[18:56] Takeru
    Lieutenant Hayase!
[18:57] Takeru
    Tama!
[19:00] Mikoto
    Get a move on, Takeru!
[19:01] Takeru
    Mikoto?
[19:06] Hayase
    Your escape route's been secured.
[19:08] Hayase
    Sakaki, Ayamine, lead the way!
[19:10] Chizuru/Ayamine
    Roger!
[19:13] Ayamine
    Chatting can wait.
[19:14] Chizuru
    Follow us!
[19:16] Takeru/Meiya
    Roger!
[19:20] Hayase
    What happened to Kashiwagi?
[19:22] Takeru
    She went back to support the captain.
[19:23] Sakura
    The captain...
[19:26] Munakata
    Usuki!
[19:27] Munakata
    Her orders are to escort Shirogane.
[19:29] Sakura
    Right.
[19:30] Munkata
    Good! We'll wait for Miki to clear out,
    and then we'll be right behind her!
[19:34] Squad
    Roger!
[19:35] Sakura
    Roger...
[19:43] Abe
    Don't think about conserving ammo!
    Fire everything we've got!
[19:52] Ayamine
    We'll be at the beach
    if we can clear this last stretch.
[19:54] Ayamine
    Just gotta maintain altitude.
[19:55] Takeru
    This is Valkyrie-11.
    We're nearly at the coast.
[19:58] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom, copy that.
    Maintain trajectory...
[20:02] Yuuko
    What now?!
[20:03] Haruka
    BETA have appeared
    on the southern tip of Mano Bay!
[20:05] Haruka
    In the escape route!
[20:07] Haruka
    These numbers... It's a brigade-sized herd!
[20:10] Yuuko
    Shirogane, stop, now!
[20:13] Takeru
    But we're almost there!
[20:15] Haruka
    A brigade-sized BETA herd
    is in your direct path!
[20:19] Hayase
    All units, full deceleration!
[20:24] Chizuru
    Decelerate?
[20:29] Takeru
    Get back, damn it!
[20:43] Hayase
    Damage report!
[20:44] Chizuru
    Valkyrie-8 and Valkyrie-13 are hit!
[20:46] Ayamine
    It's light. We can still move.
[20:48] Kashiwagi
    I've got a code 991!
[20:59] Pyatkh
    BETA confirmed in the vicinity of the XG-70!
[21:02] Pyatkh
    It's a brigade...
    no, this may be a corps-sized herd!
[21:05] Ozawa
    This is madness... just how many BETA
    were there inside the Sadogashima Hive?!
[21:10] Yuuko
    A delay right before
    they were in the clear...
[21:13] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries!
    The BETA numbers are only increasing!
[21:18] Takeru
    Damn it!

SIGN    Inheritance
[01:43] Takeru
    Damn it, we're so close!
[01:48] Kashiwagi
    I've got a Code 991!
[01:51] Kashiwagi
    Captain, the BETA are surfacing
    from underground!
[01:54] Haruka
    Brigade-sized herd has appeared
    in the south of Mano Bay!
[01:56] Haruka
    And a corps-size herd of BETA
    has appeared in the vicinity of the XG-70!
[02:00] Haruka
    A-01 Squadron's exfiltration
    route has been cut off.
[02:04] Ozawa
    This is madness... just how many BETA
    were there inside the Sadogashima Hive?!
[02:09] Pyatkh
    BETA have made contact with the XG-70!
[02:11] Pyatkh
    Kashiwagi has engaged them!
[02:13] Kashiwagi
    Enemy forces are comprised of
    Destroyers, Tanks, Grapplers...
[02:17] Kashiwagi
    No sign of Laser-Class.
[02:20] Yuuko
    Isumi...
[02:22] Yuuko
    There's a brigade-sized herd
    in the south of Mano Bay.
[02:25] Yuuko
    Time's up. You've got to clear out.
[02:28] Isumi
    What about the 00-Unit?
[02:30] Yuuko
    They were blocked right before
    reaching the coast.
[02:33] Isumi
    The BETA headed toward the Susano-O
    when it briefly reactivated, right?
[02:37] Yuuko
    Yes, that's right.
[02:39] Isumi
    Understood...
[02:41] Isumi
    I'm going to do what it takes to
    make sure our main objective is fulfilled.
[02:45] Kashiwagi
    Captain, a ton of BETA are
    headed right for you!
[02:48] Kashiwagi
    You need to get out!
[02:49] Isumi
    I'm begging you, Kashiwagi.
    I need five minutes.
[02:52] Isumi
    Five will be enough,
    but I need you to keep them busy.
[02:54] Kashiwagi
    Bet you're glad I came back now, huh?
[02:57] Isumi
    Damn right I am. I owe you.
[03:01] Kashiwagi
    I say that, but with these numbers...
    that's asking a lot.
[03:09] Yuuko
    Shirogane...
[03:10] Yuuko
    You'll have an out in five minutes.
[03:13] Yuuko
    Move out at top speed
    as soon as you notice a change.
[03:16] Yuuko
    Rendezvous with the recovery fleet.
[03:19] Takeru
    What kind of change?
[03:20] Yuuko
    You'll know.
[03:25] Abe
    Damage report!
[03:26] Operators
    Starboard anti-air crew have been wiped out!
[03:28] Operators
    Turret three has been hit, but no losses.
[03:30] Operators
    A fire has broken out on the flight deck!
[03:32] Ozora Operator
    Engines are fully functional!
[03:33] Abe
    Five more minutes! I don't care if every
    ship in the fleet is hobbled as a result.
[03:37] Abe
    We will obliterate the BETA on the south end
    of the bay by any means necessary!
[03:41] Gunnery Chief
    Main cannons and third AA section,
    you may target and fire at will.
[03:45] Ootsuka Operator
    The Mino's bridge took a direct hit!
    Comms are down!
[03:48] Ootsuka Operator
    They're maintaining their rate of fire!
[03:50] Ishikawa Operator
    Primary starboard defense compartment
    has exceeded armor damage threshold!
[03:55] Ootsuka
    The Shinano is currently 15% flooded!
[03:57] Ootsuka
    The Kaga's anti-Laser-Class systems
    are damaged across the board,
[04:00] Ootsuka
    but both ships are capable
    of continuing battle!
[04:02] Abe
    Good. Very good!
[04:06] Abe
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is where
    the battle really starts!
[04:08] Abe
    Our engines and guns are both
    fully operable! We are still good to go!
[04:15] Yuuko
    Come on...
[04:24] Kashiwagi
    Sorry about that, Captain!
    Some Destroyer-Class got past me!
[04:29] Isumi
    Understood! Two more minutes,
    and I'll be able to manage!
[04:34] Kashiwagi
    There are just too damn many!
[04:41] Kashiwagi
    Fort-Class?!
[04:43] Kashiwagi
    Captain, hurry!
[04:44] Isumi
    Sixty more seconds...
[04:46] Isumi
    That should do it!
[04:51] Isumi
    Everything's set!
[04:52] Isumi
    Get ready to clear out!
[04:57] Isumi
    Kashiwagi, I'm done here,
[04:59] Isumi
    I'm—to make—escape—
[05:03] Isumi
    Respond! Do you read me, Kashiwagi?!
[05:18] Isumi
    Talk to me, Kashiwagi! Can you hear my voice?!
[05:19] Kashiwagi
    Captain... Just hang on...
[05:22] Isumi
    Kashiwagi?! Give me a sitrep!
[05:24] Kashiwagi
    There are more coming...
[05:37] Haruka
    Lieutenant Kashiwagi's vitals
    have all flatlined.
[05:41] Yuuko
    Resuscitative measures! Defibrillate her!
[05:44] Haruka
    Her Fortified Suit's signal is gone, ma'am.
[05:47] Haruka
    It's likely she...
[05:49] Yuuko
    I see... Have Kashiwagi marked as KIA.
[05:54] Haruka
    Yes, ma'am.
[05:58] Isumi
    Again. I let one of my
    soldiers die, again...
[06:05] Ozawa
    XO, I propose we reroute the 999th Penal
    Battalion to assist in the Captain's escape.
[06:10] Isumi
    Please, no, Admiral Ozawa.
[06:13] Isumi
    My means of escape has already been totaled.
[06:15] Ozawa
    Don't be ridiculous, Captain!
[06:17] Ozawa
    You are the commander of A-01,
    a task force with a special mission!
[06:21] Ozawa
    Don't think you're
    getting out of it that easily!
[06:23] Isumi
    I'm fully aware, sir.
[06:25] Isumi
    But as A-01's commander,
    there's something I need to attend to.
[06:30] Yuuko
    Isumi, given the circumstances...
    you know what to do.
[06:34] Isumi
    Yes, ma'am.
[06:36] Isumi
    Admiral. The outcome of this operation...
[06:38] Isumi
    cannot be allowed to hinder
    Alternative IV at any cost.
[06:45] Isumi
    At this rate, the Sadogashima Hive
    will not be fully destroyed,
[06:49] Isumi
    and there's a good chance its BETA
    will begin an advance on the mainland.
[06:53] Isumi
    I'm going to re-engage the
    Moorcock-Lechte Drive at once.
[06:57] Yuuko
    Admiral. Once the Moorcock-Lechte
    Drive has been activated,
[07:01] Yuuko
    all of the BETA on the island
    will be drawn towards the XG-70.
[07:05] Yuuko
    When that happens,
    we'll be able to retrieve the 00-Unit.
[07:09] Pyatkh
    I've confirmed the XG-70's
    primary systems are back online!
[07:11] Pyatkh
    Kaluza-Klein Echo is intensifying!
[07:14] Suyama
    The BETA in the south of Mano Bay,
    as well as across the entire island,
[07:16] Suyama
    are headed towards the XG-70!
[07:24] Takeru
    Is this it?
[07:25] Hayase
    Time to go. Hurry!
[07:30] Yuuko
    She's going to attract all of the enemy,
    and then sacrifice herself.
[07:33] Yuuko
    No, she'll be taking
    all of Sadogashima with her.
[07:37] Yuuko
    That is Isumi's plan, sir.
[07:39] Ozawa
    Captain Isumi is your
    most trusted subordinate...
[07:42] Ozawa
    You could even say she's been
    the key to execution of the fourth plan.
[07:46] Ozawa
    You're certain about this?
[07:48] Yuuko
    Whether I'm certain or not doesn't matter.
[07:50] Yuuko
    This is the most effective,
    and best possible choice.
[07:54] Yuuko
    Brought about by those
    chosen to serve as part of A-01...
[07:58] Yuuko
    The future that contains
    the greatest potential.
[08:03] Ozawa
    A future with the greatest potential?
[08:06] Yuuko
    Never mind.
    Just something that was on my mind.
[08:10] Yuuko
    Admiral, there's one thing
    I'd like to ask of you.
SIGN    Fleet Flagship Heavy Cruiser Mogami
[08:14] Pyatkh
    All remaining Whiskey and Echo forces have
    been confirmed as having boarded the fleet.
[08:17] Pyatkh
    Carriers, set course for minimum
    safe distance immediately.
SIGN    Mogami Infirmary
[08:36] Takeru
    I've connected the 00-Unit to her
    maintenance hardware, as ordered.
[08:40] Yuuko
    I appreciate it. You've done good work today.
[08:44] Yuuko
    Our big worries are systems failure
    and loss of her original data...
[08:48] Yuuko
    And there's no sign of anything that severe.
[08:50] Takeru
    What a relief...
[08:52] Yuuko
    But there's not much more
    we can do out here.
[08:55] Yuuko
    Once the effects from the
    XG-70's explosion have died down,
[08:58] Yuuko
    you'll fly her back to the base.
[09:01] Yuuko
    The roads will be down thanks to
    the accompanying tsunami,
[09:03] Yuuko
    and no one is going to be
    sailing anywhere for a while.
[09:05] Yuuko
    But the sky will be safe with
     the Sadogashima Hive gone.
[09:10] Takeru
    Understood.
[09:11] Takeru
    I guess we couldn't get the
    auto-pilot to engage, huh?
[09:14] Takeru
    How's the detonation going?
[09:16] Yuuko
    It's looking good.
[09:17] Yuuko
    We're just waiting for the ships
    with Echo and Whiskey to get clear.
[09:22] Takeru
    I see. Then are the captain and
    Kashiwagi headed this way?
[09:26] Yuuko
    No.
[09:27] Yuuko
    Isumi's still inside the XG-70.
    Kashiwagi's dead.
[09:33] Takeru
    She is?! Why—
[09:34] Yuuko
    Because we're at war.
    Hundreds of people died today.
[09:38] Takeru
    No! That's not what I was asking—
[09:40] Haruka
    Stop it, Lieutenant.
[09:42] Haruka
    A corps-sized herd of BETA
    surfaced near the XG-70.
[09:48] Haruka
    And they would've likely made
    for the mainland if nothing was done.
[09:52] Haruka
    In order to prevent that, and
     save as many lives as possible...
[09:57] Haruka
    Captain Isumi decided to destroy Sadogashima.
[10:01] Takeru
    She did?
[10:02] Yuuko
    It's not just the lives she's saving.
[10:05] Yuuko
    Isumi is keeping Alternative IV
    afloat with her sacrifice.
[10:08] Yuuko
    Regardless of what caused
    the XG-70 to malfunction,
[10:11] Yuuko
    if the mission had ended any other way...
    we would've been in a dire position.
[10:19] Suyama
    The 2nd Squadron has left Mano Bay!
[10:21] Suyama
    Severely damaged, but still intact!
[10:29] Isumi
    Kashiwagi, your death will not be in vain!
[10:49] Isumi
    Kashiwagi...
[10:51] Isumi
    I just keep making mistakes.
[10:55] Isumi
    But in the end, I'm able to keep hope alive.
[10:59] Yuuko
    Isumi, the 00-Unit's been
    successfully recovered.
[11:02] Yuuko
    Echo Fleet's made it
    to minimum safe distance.
[11:06] Yuuko
    Whiskey will be clear in ten minutes, too.
[11:08] Yuuko
    Go ahead and get started.
[11:10] Isumi
    Roger that.
[11:12] Yuuko
    That said, it's not like you have
    much to actually do.
[11:16] Isumi
    You've got a point there.
[11:18] Isumi
    All I need to do is disengage
    the remaining fail-safes.
[11:21] Yuuko
    Your last ten minutes alive...
[11:23] Yuuko
    If it won't get in the way,
    I can put you through to your squad.
[11:28] Yuuko
    OPSEC means I can't put you
    in contact with anyone else, but...
[11:32] Isumi
    Ma'am... personal communications
     like that are...
[11:35] Yuuko
    Admiral Ozawa and the other
    commanding officers were pretty insistent.
[11:39] Yuuko
    Enough that, despite everything else going on,
    they were willing to run a wired connection
[11:44] Yuuko
    between the Mogami and
    the Kunisaki where the others are.
SIGN    Heavy Cruiser Mogami Admiral Ozawa
[11:47] Yuuko
    All so you could say anything
    that needs to be said.
SIGN    Battleship Musashi Commander Iguchi
[11:50] Yuuko
    As soldiers, Japanese citizens,
[11:53] Yuuko
    and members of the human race,
SIGN    Battleship Yamato Commander Tadokoro
[11:55] Yuuko
    they wanted to show their
    gratitude to you, however they could.
SIGN    Battleship Shinano Commander Abe
[11:59] Isumi
    That's... I haven't done anything
    to deserve that kind of gratitude.
[12:02] Yuuko
    Look, they already set it all up.
    You should humor them and use it.
[12:07] Yuuko
    One other thing you should probably know...
[12:10] Yuuko
    Second Lieutenant Isumi Akira with the IJA's
    133rd Regiment has been confirmed alive.
[12:16] Yuuko
    She's not injured, either.
[12:19] Isumi
    I see...
[12:22] Isumi
    Thank you, ma'am.
[12:24] Yuuko
    I'm not sure why you're thanking me.
[12:26] Isumi
    To everyone who arranged this for me,
[12:29] Isumi
    in spite of the dire situation,
    let them know...
[12:33] Yuuko
    I know.
[12:35] Isumi
    XO...
[12:36] Yuuko
    What is it?
[12:37] Isumi
    It's been a honor.
[12:39] Isumi
    These two years have seemed like an
    eternity at times, and like a flash at others.
[12:42] Isumi
    Being able to contribute to
    humanity's future, under your command...
[12:46] Isumi
    is an honor that I will
    always be grateful for.
[12:50] Yuuko
    Come on, cut it out.
[12:53] Isumi
    My life likely wouldn't have
    amounted to anything special...
[12:57] Isumi
    But now it has special meaning and value.
[13:01] Yuuko
    Meaning and value you can never
    share with anyone else.
[13:06] Isumi
    I regret not being able to see
    the completion of the fourth plan,
[13:10] Isumi
    as well as humanity's victory, in person.
[13:13] Isumi
    But I'm going on ahead.
[13:17] Yuuko
    Well, I'm headed for hell,
    so I doubt I'll ever see you again.
[13:21] Yuuko
    Give Marimo my regards.
[13:23] Isumi
    I'm sorry, ma'am,
[13:25] Isumi
    but I won't be able to deliver that message.
[13:28] Isumi
    I'm bound for hell myself.
[13:32] Yuuko
    Well, I hope you'll show me around
    when I get there.
[13:35] Yuuko
    Since I'm headed for the lowest level,
[13:38] Yuuko
    you handle all the tedious
    arrangements for me.
[13:40] Isumi
    Consider it done. I'll clean the floor with
    the king of hell and his demons for you.
[13:48] Isumi
    Suzumiya...
[13:50] Isumi
    Don't ever underestimate the
    amount of security you give the squad.
[13:55] Isumi
    Take good care of them.
[13:56] Haruka
    Yes, ma'am.
[13:57] Yuuko
    Shirogane, no one's monitoring the line,
    so you're free to say whatever.
[14:02] Yuuko
    When Isumi gives the signal, it's going to
    connect to Hayase and the others.
[14:06] Takeru
    Yes, ma'am.
[14:07] Yuuko
    We'll give you some privacy. Take your time.
[14:14] Isumi
    Shirogane, I hear the 00-Unit is safe.
[14:18] Isumi
    Well done.
[14:19] Takeru
    Thank you, ma'am.
[14:21] Takeru
    Um... are you... okay?
[14:25] Isumi
    Yeah. I've got this thing running again.
[14:28] Isumi
    The Rutherford field's keeping me safe.
[14:31] Takeru
    Well...
[14:33] Takeru
    I'm glad your sister's okay.
[14:35] Isumi
    Thank you.
[14:36] Isumi
    But I have to admit, I'm kind of
    shocked the XO arranged all this.
[14:41] Takeru
    Yuuko-sensei?
    But she said it was the Imperials who...
[14:45] Isumi
    Come on, man. If she hadn't revealed who I was,
[14:50] Isumi
    they wouldn't have known
    to check on my sister, would they?
[14:54] Isumi
    The XO's consideration,
    and the Imperials' compassion...
[14:58] Isumi
    To be honest, I'm really grateful.
[15:01] Isumi
    But that's selfish of me.
[15:03] Takeru
    They're doing it because you
    fought for the human race!
[15:07] Isumi
    I've gotten so many of
     my subordinates killed,
[15:10] Isumi
    and been involved
    with the death of so many others...
[15:13] Isumi
    Getting to die in a place like this
    is enough of a reward.
[15:17] Takeru
    That's... Captain,
    you've done an amazing job!
[15:20] Takeru
    You're sacrificing your life
    to save so many other people!
[15:25] Isumi
    It's not like that, Shirogane.
[15:27] Isumi
    Deep down, I'm nowhere near
    as admirable as you think.
[15:33] Isumi
    Right now, the thing I feel
    most strongly about...
[15:37] Isumi
    It's not about all the lives I'll be saving
    as a result of my actions,
[15:40] Isumi
    or humanity's future.
[15:42] Isumi
    It's not even about Kashiwagi,
    or Sergeant Jinguuji, who I got killed...
[15:49] Isumi
    But my sister being alive.
[15:51] Isumi
    And the fact I'll never see
    my parents or sisters...
[15:55] Isumi
    Or the guy I told you about...
[15:58] Isumi
    My personal business is the
    only thing in my head right now.
[16:03] Takeru
    What exactly is wrong with that?!
[16:05] Takeru
    You've worked so hard for the
    Alternative plan this entire time!
[16:10] Isumi
    Shirogane...
[16:11] Takeru
    Kashiwagi was the same way!
[16:14] Takeru
    And Sergeant Jinguuji, she fulfilled
    her duty until her dying breath!
[16:19] Takeru
    You've all made such a big mark on all of us!
SIGN    Ocean's Surface TSF Carriers
[16:24] Takeru
    Who cares how it happened?!
    You're still saving a ton of people's lives!
[16:30] Takeru
    Using your last moments alive to think
    about the one you love or your family...
[16:35] Takeru
    Is that really such a crime?!
[16:37] Takeru
    I don't care what anyone else says!
    I respect you, Captain!
[16:41] Takeru
    And I think what you're doing is incredible!
[16:46] Isumi
    Shirogane, take good care of the squad, okay?
[16:51] Isumi
    And share that strength with them.
[16:54] Takeru
    I'm not strong at all, ma'am.
[16:58] Isumi
    Shirogane, you're plenty strong.
[17:01] Isumi
    And after today, your reasoning for fighting...
    Your philosophy about the war...
[17:05] Isumi
    And why you feel special...
[17:08] Isumi
    I think I understand it all.
[17:10] Isumi
    The 00-Unit candidate
    is your girlfriend, isn't she?
[17:14] Takeru
    Captain... you knew?
[17:16] Isumi
    No.
[17:17] Isumi
    But when you called her name
    and picked her up, I understood.
[17:21] Isumi
    I heard the name "Sumika" yesterday, after all.
[17:25] Isumi
    And it was easy to tell from
    how you acted toward her.
[17:28] Isumi
    That occasional naïveté of yours...
[17:30] Isumi
    No... that kindness is something
    I've never encountered in anyone else.
[17:36] Isumi
    Not only that, but you have
    talent as a pilot, as well.
[17:39] Isumi
    You may end up being humanity's savior.
[17:44] Takeru
    Me, a savior?
[17:46] Isumi
    Well, you sure didn't look like
    a rookie out there today.
[17:50] Takeru
    That's because of the
    hypnotherapy you gave me, Captain.
[17:56] Isumi
    Oh, don't worry about that. I just had you
    run through some relaxation exercises.
[18:00] Isumi
    Which means you should have
    nothing else to fear, right?
[18:04] Takeru
    Yes... thank you, ma'am.
[18:07] Isumi
    All right...
[18:08] Isumi
    It's time to say goodbye to the others.

    Captain!
[18:38] Isumi
    This is Isumi.
[18:40] Isumi
    The missions have all been hell,
[18:42] Isumi
    but you've all done excellent work
    making it through and following my orders.
[18:46] Isumi
    You are the greatest pilots
    I've ever known, and my pride and joy.
[18:50] Isumi
    It kills me to have to leave you
    with the mission unfulfilled,
[18:54] Isumi
    but I know that things will be in good hands.
[18:57] Isumi
    I'm confident that you'll be able to dedicate
    yourselves even further to mankind's victory

[20:06] Isumi
    But... when I realized
    it was okay to just be myself,

    I was finally able to face her in earnest.

[03:44] Yuuko
    But the damage to the Sea of Japan's coastline
[03:47] Yuuko
    between the Oga and Noto peninsulas
    was worse than expected.
[03:49] Yuuko
    There were no casualties because
     of the advance warning,

    but low-lying areas have been
    flooded and rendered unusable.

    There's no projected recovery timeline.

    In lieu of a speech, I wanna
     make something clear to all of you.
[05:08] Hayase
    It doesn't matter if she's gone or not,
     this unit is still the "Isumi's Valkyries."
[05:12] Hayase
    That name isn't changing
    even with me in charge, got it?
[05:15] Hayase
    Anyone got a problem with that?
[05:16] A01
    No, ma'am!
[05:18] Hayase
    Don't ever forget the Valkyrie spirit
    that she and Kashiwagi
[05:21] Hayase
    spent their lives demonstrating!
[05:23] Hayase
    Isumi squadron, recite squad motto!
[05:26] A01
    Carry out your mission at all costs!
[05:28] A01
    Fight to your very last breath!
[05:30] A01
    Make your death count!
[05:32] A01
    Make your death count!
[05:35] Hayase
    Use today to get as much rest as you can.
[05:38] Hayase
    Dismissed!
[05:39] A01
    Yes, ma'am!
[05:48] Takeru
    What's wrong, Meiya?
[05:51] Meiya
    Takeru...
[05:53] Meiya
    I keep thinking about
    what the captain said to me.
[06:00] Meiya
    I'm apparently a sword without a sheath.
[06:05] Meiya
    She was likely worried that, after having
    my security removed and my status revoked,
[06:09] Meiya
    that I would be fighting
    to find a place to die.
[06:13] Takeru
    You knew about that?
[06:15] Meiya
    It seems you did, too.
[06:18] Meiya
    There is no need to fear.
[06:21] Meiya
    I am now in a position where
    I am free to fight as I see fit.
[06:26] Takeru
    Meiya...
[06:28] Meiya
    My only concern
[06:29] Meiya
    is whether I'll be able to find a reason
    for fighting, like I had in the past.
[06:35] Meiya
    I...
[06:38] Meiya
    I wish I could have spoken
    with the captain more.
[06:45] Meiya
    What is it you are fighting for now?
[06:50] Takeru
    I've got a short-term reason,
[06:52] Takeru
    and another one that'll matter more
    after mankind achieves victory.
[06:56] Meiya
    After victory is assured?
[06:59] Takeru
    Yeah. I guess you could say
    I'm trying to get back
[07:04] Takeru
    as much of what's been lost
    or destroyed as possible.
[07:07] Meiya
    And the more immediate reason?
[07:11] Takeru
    I told you about the girl I met
    during my special missions, right?
[07:14] Meiya
    You did.
[07:15] Takeru
    Well, completing those special missions
    is the more immediate goal.
[07:20] Meiya
    I see. Completing your mission,
    saving humanity,
[07:24] Meiya
    and then regaining that
    which you have lost, eh?
[07:28] Takeru
    Yep.
[07:30] Meiya
    If I don't want to be outdone by you...
[07:33] Meiya
    I'll need to find something myself soon.
[07:45] Takeru
    Huh? Where is every—
[07:46] Kyozuka
    Takeru! You did good, kiddo!
[07:47] Kyozuka
    I'm glad to see you made it back!
[07:49] Takeru
    I'm back, ma'am.
[07:51] Kyozuka
    Making it home safe and sound is
    the best thing a soldier can accomplish.
[07:54] Kyozuka
    You still haven't eaten lunch yet, right?
[07:56] Kyozuka
    It's on the house, so eat for Michiru-chan
    and Haruko-chan too, all right?
[08:00] Takeru
    Ma'am?!
[08:02] Akane
    You about to eat, Shirogane?
[08:04] Takeru
    Yeah. You too, Suzumiya?
[08:07] Akane
    I just finished.
[08:09] Akane
    Now I'm organizing Haruko's stuff.
[08:12] Takeru
    I see.
[08:13] Akane
    I'm the only one left from when
    our class was assigned, so...
[08:17] Akane
    It's kinda gotta be me, y'know?
[08:21] Takeru
    Suzumiya—
[08:22] Kyouzuka
    How about something to drink, Akane-chan?
[08:24] Kyouzuka
    My treat!
[08:25] Akane
    Really?! I'll take a
     synthetic orange juice, then!
[08:28] Kyouzuka
    Sure thing! What about you, Takeru?
[08:30] Takeru
    I think I'll have the synthetic
    whale combo, tatsuta-fried.
[08:33] Kyouzuka
    Nah, I was asking about your drink!
[08:35] Kyouzuka
    Your lunch is synth ginger-fried pork
    and synth chop suey on rice!
[08:41] Takeru
    I know it's a special occasion,
    but two entrees?
[08:43] Akane
    Those were the captain
    and Haruko's favorites.
[08:51] Takeru
    I'll take the synthetic green tea, then.
[08:53] Kyouzuka
    Coming up!
[08:58] Takeru
    Seriously?
[09:00] Akane
    Hey, Shirogane...
[09:02] Akane
    You and Mitsurugi were with Haruko, right?
[09:06] Akane
    I'm wondering what she said in the end.
[09:12] Akane
    But if it's classified, forget I asked!
[09:19] Takeru
    She was really awesome.
[09:23] Takeru
    Her unit was damaged in battle,
    and was leaking propellant.
[09:29] Takeru
    So, she told us she wouldn't be coming with us,
    because she'd be in the way.
[09:34] Takeru
    Meiya tried to get Kashiwagi
    to board her own TSF....
[09:37] Takeru
    But Kashiwagi said it was a
    waste of time, and to cut it out.
[09:41] Takeru
    And that Meiya's job was
    to keep my unit safe.
[09:43] Takeru
    So she flew back the direction we came from.
[09:46] Takeru
    She did it so that we'd focus on the mission.
[09:50] Akane
    That sounds like her.
[09:53] Takeru
    I asked Lieutenant Suzumiya about it.
[09:55] Takeru
    Afterwards, a bunch of BETA
    surfaced near the Susano-O.
[09:59] Takeru
    And she...
[10:02] Akane
    It's not fair, Haruko.
[10:08] Akane
    It just isn't!
[10:12] Akane
    I appreciate this, Shirogane.
[10:15] Akane
    Thank you for telling me about her.
[10:18] Shirogane
    Of course.
[10:21] Akane
    Sorry. I gotta go.
[10:23] Akane
    It's too much. Gonna go cry on my own.
[10:39] Kasumi
    Welcome back.
[10:40] Takeru
    I'm back, Kasumi.
[10:43] Takeru
    How is she?
[10:45] Kasumi
    She's waking up.
[10:47] Takeru
    Sumika?
[10:50] Sumika
    Takeru-chan?
[10:52] Takeru
    That's right. Kasumi's with us, too.
[10:55] Kasumi
    Welcome home, Sumika-san.
[10:58] Sumika
    Takeru-chan...
[10:59] Sumika
    When I got close to the island,
    I could hear your voice.
[11:04] Sumika
    I knew where you were the whole time.
[11:08] Takeru
    I see.
[11:09] Sumika
    But when I tried to go see you,
[11:12] Sumika
    they got in the way, so I got rid of them.
[11:16] Takeru
    You were really amazing. You saved us!
[11:19] Sumika
    But Takeru-chan...
    you didn't love me anymore.
[11:24] Takeru
    What are you talking about?
    There's no way I'd do that.
[11:27] Sumika
    Then why did you do that?
[11:30] Sumika
    I didn't know what to do!
[11:34] Sumika
    I can't stand you
    leaving me again, Takeru-chan!
[11:39] Takeru
    I'm not going anywhere, I swear!
[11:41] Sumika
    No, no, no...
[11:43] Takeru
    Sumika!
[11:45] Takeru
    Sumika, look at me!
[11:47] Takeru
    You know what I'm thinking, don't you?
[11:51] Takeru
    I love you. I'm going to stay with you.
[11:55] Takeru
    You can tell, can't you?
[12:02] Sumika
    It's true...
[12:05] Sumika
    Thank goodness.
[12:08] Takeru
    You're probably just tired
    after working so hard.
[12:12] Takeru
    Go ahead and get some rest.
[12:14] Takeru
    Okay?
[12:19] Sumika
    Takeru-chan, hold my hand.
[12:26] Sumika
    You're so warm.
[12:31] Kasumi
    She's fallen into a deep sleep.
[12:34] Takeru
    I thought she had gotten more stable lately.
[12:36] Kasumi
    No, Sumika-san isn't confused this time.
[12:40] Takeru
    Did you see something?
[12:42] Kasumi
    Sumika-san thought that you were
    in love with another girl.
[12:47] Kasumi
    And she was very frightened.
[12:50] Takeru
    Me? Why would she think that?
[12:58] Yuuko
    The results of the 00-Unit's reading
[13:00] Yuuko
    during Operation 21st were
    even better than I had hoped.
[13:04] Yuuko
    We now have stub mapping data
    for every hive on the planet,
[13:08] Yuuko
    along with the kind of numbers they have.
[13:11] Takeru
    That's amazing!
[13:13] Yuuko
    With another week, we'll have
    more detailed information, too.
[13:16] Takeru
    Sumika was able to get all that
    in such a short amount of time?
[13:21] Yuuko
    Based on what we know about
    intel transmission between hives,
[13:24] Yuuko
    we'll need to hit Target 20
    within two weeks, ideally.
[13:28] Takeru
    Before they realize mankind is
    going on the attack, right?
[13:32] Yuuko
    The only problem is that the UN brass
    have suddenly gotten cold feet.
[13:36] Takeru
    Did something happen?
[13:38] Yuuko
    Alternative V advocates have used
    the outcome of the mission
[13:41] Yuuko
    to claim that Operation 21st was a failure.
[13:44] Yuuko
    Making a big stink about how we should have
    just G-Bombed the island instead.
[13:47] Takeru
    But the whole point was the reading.
    Doesn't that mean it was a success?
[13:52] Yuuko
    Well, obviously I can't just
    tell them that, can I?
[13:54] Takeru
    What do you mean?
[13:58] Yuuko
    I'm trying to lure the remaining
    Alternative V proponents out into the open.
[14:03] Yuuko
    The people making the fuss right now
    are a perfect example.
[14:06] Yuuko
    We'll use the data we've gained
    to neutralize another hive,
[14:08] Yuuko
    and then go public with our intel on
     all the other hives around the world.
[14:14] Yuuko
    That'll shut them up for good.
[14:16] Yuuko
    There are people who see
    what happened to Sadogashima
[14:18] Yuuko
    and now think that G-Bombs should be
    avoided as much as possible, too.
[14:24] Yuuko
    We just need to get the UN over
    their defensive approach to the war...
[14:27] Yuuko
    for the sake of what comes after that.
[14:55] Munakata
    Nicely done, Touko.
[14:57] Kazama
    Thank you.
[14:59] Haruka
    That was the Kreutzer Sonata, right?
[15:02] Hayase
    That's by Rachmaninoff, right?
[15:04] Munakata
    Sorry, no. It's Beethoven.
[15:08] Haruka
    Hey, it's okay.
[15:10] Kazama
    This piece...
[15:12] Kazama
    The captain complimented
    my playing of it before.
[15:19] Haruka
    I didn't know that.
[15:21] Hayase
    I can't believe I'm supposed to replace her.
[15:25] Munakata
    It's one hell of a responsibility.
[15:27] Hayase
    And you're trying
    to raise the pressure, I see.
[15:29] Haruka
    You'll be fine, Mitsuki.
[15:32] Hayase
    Well, it's not like I've got an alternative.
[15:35] Munakata
    Where are the others?
[15:36] Haruka
    The girls from 207B are digging
    a grave for Sergeant Jinguuji.
[15:41] Haruka
    Akane is organizing
    Lieutenant Kashiwagi's belongings.
[15:44] Haruka
    I asked Lieutenant Usuki
    if she wanted to join us, but...
[15:46] Hayase
    She's probably not ready yet.
[15:49] Munakata
    She only ever opened up
    to the captain, after all.
[15:52] Haruka
    I think the captain meant
    something special to her.
[15:56] Hayase
    That goes for all of us.
[15:59] Hayase
    The captain was like that for everybody.
[16:14] Sakura
    Michiru-san...
[16:24] Takeru
    An attack on the original hive...
[16:26] Yuuko
    I wouldn't get excited just yet.
[16:28] Yuuko
    To make sure it actually happens,
[16:31] Yuuko
    we need to execute this
    next operation perfectly.
[16:35] Takeru
    But Sumika...
[16:36] Takeru
    I don't think she's in any
    condition to fight right now.
[16:39] Yuuko
    You can relax.
[16:41] Yuuko
    Her vitals are more stable
    than they were before the mission.
[16:43] Takeru
    Then do we know why she crashed?
[16:46] Yuuko
    Not quite.
[16:47] Yuuko
    But what we do know is her ODL
    had degraded abnormally quickly.
[16:51] Takeru
    ODL?
[16:53] Yuuko
    It's the fluid that circulates
    through the 00-Unit's brain.
[16:57] Yuuko
    It's supposed to last for 72 hours,
[16:59] Yuuko
    but had degraded faster than
    I thought possible in only 12 hours.
[17:02] Takeru
    What caused it?
[17:03] Yuuko
    Hard to say. You have any ideas?
[17:10] Yuuko
    She was worried about you
    leaving her for someone else?
[17:12] Takeru
    Does that seem like something?
[17:14] Yuuko
    She was observing you from the
     moment she entered the combat zone.
[17:18] Yuuko
    Do you remember what
     you would've been thinking?
[17:22] Takeru
    What I was thinking?
[17:25] (Flashback) Meiya
    Takeru...
[17:27] Yuuko
    You and Mitsurugi?
[17:29] Takeru
    I couldn't tell you if it was a memory
    from a previous loop or a fantasy...
[17:33] Yuuko
    And in a combat zone, of all places.
[17:36] Yuuko
    Anyway, I'd say there's a strong likelihood that
     is what caused her ODL to degrade so quickly.
[17:41] Takeru
    Would it really affect her that badly?
[17:44] Yuuko
    I'm guessing between her hatred
    for the BETA and that jealousy...
[17:49] Yuuko
    It was enough to cause some sort of overflow.
[17:52] Takeru
    Then it's my fault.
[17:53] Yuuko
    Okay, stop right there.
[17:55] Yuuko
    Are you seriously about to start acting
    like a whiny brat and run off again?
[17:59] Takeru
    No! But still...
[18:00] Yuuko
    You've done a fantastic job, seriously.
[18:02] Yuuko
    You accomplished something
    incredible in very little time.
[18:08] Yuuko
    You got the 00-Unit ready for
    action in under ten days.
[18:13] Yuuko
    I don't get that sulky look.
    That's a major accomplishment!
[18:16] Yuuko
    You ought to be more proud.
[18:18] Takeru
    But Sensei, the people
    who died on the mission...
[18:21] Yuuko
    Let me ask you, then:
[18:23] Yuuko
    Let's say that thought never crossed your mind.
     Isumi and Kashiwagi didn't die.
[18:28] Yuuko
    But what if you died instead?
[18:30] Takeru
    That wouldn't...
[18:32] Takeru
    I guess I can't say for sure, can I?
[18:34] Yuuko
    Even if you start another loop,
[18:36] Yuuko
    there's no guarantee that it'll
    go any better than this one has.
[18:39] Yuuko
    This moment that we're living in
[18:41] Yuuko
    is the best possible future,
    the one Isumi chose for us.
[18:45] Yuuko
    She didn't die as a
    result of some coincidence.
[18:48] Yuuko
    She made a decision that brought us
    to this state of affairs herself.
[18:53] Yuuko
    This stuff about her
    saving Japan or whatever?
[18:56] Yuuko
    Isumi's death goes far beyond
    whatever you're thinking.
[19:00] Yuuko
    So don't get the wrong idea.
[19:11] 207th
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[19:14] 207th
    Hey!
[19:17] Mikoto
    We've got it!
[19:19] Chizuru
    Everything set?
[19:21] Ayamine
    Ready to go.
[19:23] Meiya
    Well done, everyone.
[19:27] Tama
    Now Sergeant Jinguuji can join the captain.
[19:32] Mikoto
    Yep!
[19:34] Isumi
    Sakaki, you need to learn to relax.
[19:38] Isumi
    You manage that, and you'll be able
    to tap into the potential you've got.
[19:42] Chizuru
    Thank you very much, ma'am!
[19:45] Chizuru
    Captain Isumi...
[19:47] Marimo
    Sakaki, I know it won't be easy,
    but show the others the way.
[19:52] Marimo
    They're counting on you, leader.
[19:54] Chizuru
    Sergeant Jinguuji... Captain Isumi...
[19:58] Chizuru
    Like them, and my father...
    I'll do whatever is best.
[20:02] Isumi
    Ayamine.
[20:03] Isumi
    You might seem cool at a glance,
[20:06] Isumi
    but I can tell how intense and
    strongly you feel underneath that.
[20:09] Isumi
    And that you think showing people
    how you feel is weakness.
[20:13] Isumi
    That's not true, though.
[20:14] Isumi
    Relying on others, and having them
    rely on you, isn't as bad as you think.
[20:18] (Flashback) Ayamine
    I need to rely on my comrades...
[20:21] Isumi
    Yoroi, your cheery nature is
    a real asset to the squad.
[20:24] Isumi
    But you're a little too self-absorbed.
[20:26] Isumi
    It's important to listen to what others
    have to say sometimes, alright?
[20:29] (Flashback) Mikoto
    Thank you so much, Captain!
[20:32] Isumi
    Tamase, I think the way
    you're considerate for others,
[20:34] Isumi
    and the group dynamic that makes, is wonderful.
[20:37] Isumi
    But you tend to freeze up
    when the focus is on you.
[20:40] Isumi
    It wouldn't hurt you to be
    a little more selfish.
[20:43] (Flashback) Tama
    I'll work hard to be a
     little more selfish, ma'am!
[20:45] Isumi
    Mitsurugi, for someone with true resolve,
[20:48] Isumi
    sacrificing their life to protect
    someone else is probably easy.
[20:53] Isumi
    And making that kind of sacrifice
    in defense of another is a noble act.
[20:57] (Flashback) Isumi
    But it's the kind of thing
    that can only be done once.
[20:59] (Flashback) Isumi
    If you choose to die,
[21:01] (Flashback) Isumi
    then you need to make sure you trade your life
[21:04] Isumi
    for the greatest gain possible.
[21:05] (Flashback) Meiya
    Yes, ma'am.
[21:07] Isumi
    You're like a sword without a sheath.
[21:13] Meiya
    The captain was our commanding officer
     for only two weeks, and yet...
[21:18] Ayamine
    I know what you mean.
[21:20] Meiya
    Her words to us at the end
[21:22] Meiya
    were clearly aimed at troubles
    that each of are carrying.
[21:25] Chizuru
    Even if Sergeant Jinguuji
    had talked to her about it,
[21:28] Chizuru
    she must've really been
    paying close attention to us.
[21:31] Mikoto
    Yeah.
[21:31] Tama
    I think that, within five years,
[21:33] Tama
    we need to be as good as she was,
    or we won't be able to face her.
[21:38] Chizuru
    Five years?
[21:40] Mikoto
    Well, she was five years older than us, right?
[21:42] Mikoto
    Which is why we need to
    catch up in the meantime.
[21:44] Tama
    That's right!
[21:45] Ayamine
    Five years, huh?
[21:47] Meiya
    A good point.
[21:48] Chizuru
    I'm sure we'll manage by then.

    Takeru-chan!
[22:12] Takeru
    There you are.
[22:14] Kasumi
    Sumika-san wanted to come out here.
[22:19] Sumika
    I'm not sure why, but this

    to take one step forward.

[22:40] Takeru
    Toward recovering the things I've lost.
[22:44] Takeru
    And... toward being with Sumika.
