    YoRHa unit 2B's black box signal offline.
[00:13] ---
    Death confirmed.
[00:18] ---
    Report. As per previously registered protocol,
    marking A2 as the new target to observe.

[00:26] ---
    Deactivation of unit A2 confirmed.
[00:30] ---
    Reactivating.
[00:35] ---
    Report. A2's memory area is damaged.
[00:39] ---
    Repairing and replaying remaining data.
[00:46] ---
    Bunker, come in.
    This is YoRHa Soldiers Captain, Number 1.
[00:50] ---
    The descent operation is going well.
    No enemies in sight.
[00:53] ---
    Continuing entry as originally planned.
[00:56] ---
    T-minus 2400 seconds
    to target destination.
[00:58] ---
    This is an easy job.
[00:59] ---
    Stay on your guard, Number 1.
[01:01] ---
    You really are a worrywart, Commander.
[01:03] ---
    Don't worry. I'll do a good job.
[01:07] ---
    Hey, hey, what do you think
    it's like on Earth?
[01:10] ---
    It should be just like the simulations.
[01:12] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[01:14] ---
    That doesn't matter, does it?
[01:15] ---
    Huh? Don't you get excited?
    What about you, No. 13?
[01:19] ---
    Well, yeah.
[01:20] ---
    Yeah! So true! What about you, Number 2?
[01:23] ---
    I'm looking forward to it!
[01:25] ---
    We're in the middle of an operation.
    Stop the idle chitchat.

[01:28] ---
    Okay.
[01:30] ---
    Things might go better
    if we have some composure.
[01:33] ---
    Leave it to Number 1!
[01:36] ---
    Detected approaching heat sources.
[01:38] ---
    Distance: 42,000. Height: 60,000. Rising.
[01:45] ---
    - The unit...
    - What's going on?
[01:46] ---
    It's an EMP bomb.
[01:47] ---
    Everyone, calm down!
[01:49] ---
    Switch unit control to manual...
[01:56] ---
    No. 12 and No. 14 hit.
[01:58] ---
    No. 11 and No. 22 signals lost.
[02:01] ---
    What's going on here?
[02:01] ---
    No. 13 hit. No. 15 hit.
[02:02] ---
    A guided laser. It seems it's being fired
    from the surface.
[02:06] ---
    What happened
    to the canceller and shield?
[02:06] ---
    No. 12 and No. 14 signals lost.
[02:08] ---
    They're not effective.
[02:09] ---
    I lost control!
[02:10] ---
    Damn machines are evolving...
[02:14] ---
    What should I do?
[02:25] ---
    Confirming black box signals.
[02:27] ---
    Eight units left for the YoRHa Soldiers.
[02:30] ---
    I have high hopes for you, new models.
[03:03] ---
    You're awake.
[03:08] ---
    Good morning.
[03:10] ---
    Don't be daydreaming!
[03:13] ---
    This isn't a dream.
[03:23] ---
    Status?
[03:24] ---
    They got half of us. There are eight units left.
[03:27] ---
    Of which, four are doing well,
    including you.
[03:30] ---
    The other four are near death.
[03:34] ---
    What about Number 1?
[03:42] ---
    We now have seven units left.
[03:44] ---
    However, only four units can mobilize.
[03:48] ---
    What should we do, Captain?
[03:50] ---
    Huh? Why me?
[03:53] ---
    With the death of our captain Number 1,
[03:54] ---
    the title of captain
    has been transferred to Number 2.
[03:57] ---
    That's all, Captain.
[03:59] ---
    Oh, but I...
[04:01] ---
    Then I'll do it.
    I have higher combat skills.
[04:04] ---
    We can't just do that.
[04:06] ---
    Huh?
[04:07] ---
    What should we do?
[04:10] ---
    And these guys, too.
[04:14] ---
    And Captain...
[04:16] ---
    you're violating military regulations.
[04:31] ---
    YoRHa Soldiers, Attacker Number 2.
[04:33] ---
    Confirming transfer of captain's rights.
[04:36] ---
    Continuing the operation
    with the seven remaining units.
[04:39] ---
    These guys, too?
[04:41] ---
    I can't abandon allies who are still alive.
[04:43] ---
    Well...
[04:44] ---
    We can leave them
    sheltered somewhere.
[04:46] ---
    We don't know where the machine lifeforms
    are coming from. We can't do that.
[04:51] ---
    Mt. Ka'ala is a good distance because we landed
    really far from where we planned.
[04:56] ---
    - Are we still going there?
    - Yes, please!
[05:01] ---
    What will we do for backup?
[05:03] ---
    I will make a request to command
    as we proceed.
[05:05] ---
    Please patch me up with command.
[05:07] ---
    Communication has been severed.
    It hasn't recovered yet.
[05:13] ---
    Then we can wait for its recovery.
[05:14] ---
    We don't know when that will be.
[05:19] ---
    Right now, we need to hurry on ahead.
[05:34] ---
    This is Earth.
[05:53] ---
    Number 2.
[05:54] ---
    These guys are already...
[05:57] ---
    Number 2!
[05:59] ---
    Hey! Number 2!
[06:04] ---
    Sensing machine lifeform heat sources!
[06:06] ---
    A larger number than expected
    is heading this way.
[06:16] ---
    We need to prepare to return fire!
    Hurry up and set her down!
[06:20] ---
    But...
[06:21] ---
    We couldn't save any of the three.
[06:24] ---
    You understand, don't you?
[06:27] ---
    I...
[06:27] ---
    That's not true.
[06:29] ---
    We couldn't repair them
    in our current state.
[06:33] ---
    There are roughly 128,000 enemy units.
[06:36] ---
    It won't even be a battle
    with our numbers.
[06:39] ---
    They will surround us at any minute.
[06:40] ---
    What should we do? Captain!
[06:58] ---
    Retreat!
[07:05] ---
    This is YoRHa Soldiers Captain Number 2!
[07:07] ---
    Command, do you copy?
[07:15] ---
    Please respond, Command!
[07:58] ---
    Whoa.
[07:59] ---
    For real?
[08:16] ---
    Thank you for saving us.
[08:20] ---
    W-We are your allies.
    We are new models!
[08:25] ---
    We didn't hear that such a squadron
    would be sent our way.
[08:30] ---
    Our operation was top secret, so it's only natural
    that information hasn't reached the surface.
[08:37] ---
    Top secret, huh?
[08:39] ---
    Then, that means there'll be no issues
    if I killed you right here.
[08:45] ---
    What do you intend on doing about this?
[08:49] ---
    You want us to assist you with an operation
    to destroy a machine lifeform server?
[08:54] ---
    Work with you guys,
    who are complete unknowns?
[08:58] ---
    Right.
[08:59] ---
    We YoRHa were a squadron of 16 units.
[09:03] ---
    However, during the operation,
    we've lost many of our allies.
[09:08] ---
    We don't want
    to be dubious of you, either.
[09:11] ---
    But we've seen many enemy units
    making disturbing moves lately.
[09:15] ---
    Captain, we shouldn't believe them.
[09:18] ---
    There's the infection, too.
[09:20] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[09:24] ---
    What happened to backup from the moon?
[09:27] ---
    That's...
[09:30] ---
    I see. So the Moon
    abandoned you guys, too.
[09:34] ---
    Huh? No way that'd happen.
[09:36] ---
    You're a new model, but you don't get it?
[09:38] ---
    - What was that, damn it!
    - Shut up and come at me!
[09:41] ---
    I'll take you on!
[09:43] ---
    Stop it!
[09:44] ---
    - Let's go!
    - Dahlia, stop it!
[09:45] ---
    Listen to me!
[09:48] ---
    Command won't send reinforcements.
    We're fighting in isolation.
[09:51] ---
    We must complete the operation
    by ourselves.
[09:56] ---
    Right now, what we need are allies!
[09:59] ---
    Allies this, allies that.
    You're not kids anymore.
[10:01] ---
    What was that?
[10:03] ---
    Enough!
    Number 2, we'll head out on our own.
[10:05] ---
    This is a waste of time!
[10:06] ---
    Hold on a second.
[10:08] ---
    Wait.
[10:10] ---
    Listen.
[10:12] ---
    For the past few decades,
    we've been fighting a war of attrition.
[10:16] ---
    With no clear measures to take,
    we had no other option...
[10:21] ---
    but to spend our days where our comrades,
    our family, gradually dwindled in number.
[10:25] ---
    By that...
[10:26] ---
    They were also denied their backup.
    They're a squadron tossed aside.
[10:31] ---
    They're no different from us.
[10:33] ---
    However...
[10:33] ---
    Then, how are you going to fight
    with those things in the Pacific Ocean?
[10:37] ---
    What we need to do in this battlefield
    is to not sit idly and simply survive.
[10:46] ---
    We'll help you out.
[10:49] ---
    However, the moment I conclude
    that you're an enemy...
[10:55] ---
    I'll pull the trigger.
[10:58] ---
    Understood.
[11:07] ---
    For all this time, we've been fighting
    for our own family. Right here.
[11:14] ---
    So that we can live as a family.
[11:17] ---
    Are you really going to shoot her?
[11:18] ---
    We kill her before the infection spreads.
[11:20] ---
    That's what we've always done.
[11:22] ---
    If we don't kill it, it'll kill us.
[11:23] ---
    But...
[11:40] ---
    Number 4, No. 16, hold her down.
[11:44] ---
    No. 21.
[11:45] ---
    Please cure Lily.
[11:49] ---
    You understand, don't you?
[11:50] ---
    These guys are already...
[11:51] ---
    We couldn't repair them
    in our current state.

[11:54] ---
    That's impossible!
[11:58] ---
    Forgive me.
[12:00] ---
    Lily.
[12:05] ---
    You guys are family, aren't you?
[12:15] ---
    I'm not fit to be a leader.
[12:17] ---
    I'm slow at making decisions.
[12:21] ---
    But I keep coming up with stopgaps,
    and hate giving up.
[12:24] ---
    I can't be like you, Rose,
    and quickly do things without hesitation.
[12:29] ---
    But...
[12:31] ---
    because of that, Lily has been saved.
[12:35] ---
    I'm always feeling unsure.
[12:38] ---
    I do think
    that I'm quick to make decisions.
[12:41] ---
    But that just means I'm too decisive.
    It's basically a stopgap, just like you.
[12:48] ---
    There are things I lose because of that.
[12:50] ---
    Just like how you save some things
    because you don't like giving up, Number 2.
[12:55] ---
    I wonder which is better.
[12:57] ---
    You okay? Let's get going.
[13:00] ---
    Okay.
[13:02] ---
    - It's still so far!
    - In any case, isn't it way too far?
[13:04] ---
    Oh, Number 4! Watch out there!
[13:08] ---
    Don't step on the flowers!
[13:10] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[13:12] ---
    I wonder whose it is?
[13:13] ---
    "Whose"?
[13:14] ---
    Our names are all based on flowers.
[13:17] ---
    The captain gave us these names.
[13:19] ---
    So, what's the name of that flower?
[13:22] ---
    This one?
[13:23] ---
    I don't know.
[13:24] ---
    You don't know!?
[13:27] ---
    A name symbolizes a family.
[13:29] ---
    And having a family
    gives our lives meaning.
[13:34] ---
    That's not a seed.
[13:35] ---
    Do they have jagged petals?
[13:37] ---
    - I wonder if they have flowers like that?
    - Number 2.
[13:40] ---
    What is your meaning of life?
[13:44] ---
    - Mine is...
    - Um...
[13:51] ---
    Report. From here, there are memory sectors
    that A2 has deleted herself.

[13:58] ---
    Will attempt restoration while working
    in parallel with current operations.

[14:08] ---
    I repeat.
[14:10] ---
    YoRHa Soldiers, please promptly head
    to the elevator with the current forces on hand.

[14:15] ---
    This is a direct order
    from the Commander.

[14:18] ---
    Command. Command!
[14:21] ---
    Margaret.
[14:23] ---
    Gerbera.
[14:27] ---
    Daisy.
[14:30] ---
    Dahlia.
[14:35] ---
    Anemone.
[14:39] ---
    No. 16.
[14:41] ---
    No. 21.
[14:43] ---
    I'm having a nightmare.
[14:49] ---
    Do we dream?
[14:57] ---
    We don't.
[15:03] ---
    It would be nice if it was a dream.
[15:07] ---
    Captain... Captain...
[15:10] ---
    Captain Rose.
[15:11] ---
    Why me?
[15:13] ---
    Lily, the two of you
    need to evacuate ahead of us.
[15:18] ---
    We'll meet up with you again later.
[15:20] ---
    No way.
[15:21] ---
    Lily!
[15:28] ---
    Let's go.
[15:30] ---
    Lily.
[15:42] ---
    We've been waiting for you
    to come here.

[15:45] ---
    We've been watching over you.
[15:47] ---
    What is...
[15:48] ---
    ...this voice?
[15:50] ---
    Always.
[15:52] ---
    Always.
[15:56] ---
    These androids were lying around
    in a battlefield.

[16:00] ---
    They lost their allies,
    and their hearts had broken.

[16:04] ---
    That's why we will give them
    meaning to their lives.

[16:07] ---
    That's why we rewrite them
    so they will side with us.

[16:11] ---
    Will you also...
[16:12] ---
    ...fight them as well?
[16:16] ---
    Damn you!
[16:17] ---
    Calm down, Number 2!
[16:19] ---
    - We just need to destroy this place.
    - Yeah.
[16:22] ---
    It's meaningless to conquer this server.
[16:25] ---
    The Command's objectives lie elsewhere.
[16:28] ---
    Humanity's objectives lie elsewhere.
[16:39] ---
    This is something very important,
    so make sure to listen.

[16:43] ---
    This is a truth we obtained
    by hacking into your servers.

[16:47] ---
    A harsher, crueler battlefield
    will nurture a warrior.

[16:52] ---
    That's what Command thought.
[16:54] ---
    They had planned unplanned battles
    and harsh situations in advance.

[16:59] ---
    For their new experimental weapon,
    the YoRHa Soldiers.

[17:02] ---
    What?
[17:03] ---
    And the results were just like
    what Command had planned!

[17:06] ---
    Even on the brink of annihilation,
    you survived and arrived at this location!

[17:11] ---
    Using this experimental data, they can create
    even more perfect automatic infantry dolls.

[17:17] ---
    This is humanity's objective.
[17:21] ---
    Then that means,
    Command had planned for us to...

[17:26] ---
    From the beginning?
[17:29] ---
    Number 2!
[17:35] ---
    Number 4!
[17:38] ---
    This can't be...
[17:39] ---
    Amusing, isn't it?
[17:41] ---
    It's so amusing!
[17:42] ---
    Her chassis is still corrupted.
[17:44] ---
    But she regained consciousness.
[17:47] ---
    How does it feel to kill your allies
    while being completely sane?

[17:51] ---
    How does it feel to be killed by your allies
    while being completely sane?

[17:56] ---
    Will you still fight?
[17:58] ---
    Will you still oppose?
[18:01] ---
    Why do you do such meaningless things?
[18:05] ---
    Number 2.
[18:07] ---
    I trust you to take care of everything.
[18:10] ---
    No. That's...
[18:11] ---
    Right. That has enough firepower
    to destroy the server room.

[18:17] ---
    Command gave you those
    so you can self-destruct.

[18:22] ---
    This was your victory
    that had been planned.

[18:25] ---
    This is our defeat that had been planned.
[18:29] ---
    But as machine lifeforms,
    none of this affects us at all.

[18:33] ---
    Even if you destroy this server,
    we will not change.

[18:38] ---
    Violence, intelligence, courage, humility.
[18:43] ---
    The Council of Humanity has designed you
    to be highly individualistic.

[18:47] ---
    That is why you can augment each other.
[18:50] ---
    That is why you can kill each other.
[18:54] ---
    Isn't this laughable?
[18:57] ---
    It makes us laugh.
[19:17] ---
    Rose.
[19:19] ---
    Why...
[19:21] ---
    Amaryllis.
[19:25] ---
    Lycoris.
[19:26] ---
    Cataleya.
[19:30] ---
    Freesia.
[19:35] ---
    Now, we're family.
[19:39] ---
    Forever.
[19:46] ---
    Number 4!
[19:48] ---
    Please!
[19:55] ---
    Number 2.
[19:57] ---
    You need to live.
[19:59] ---
    Because there is life and death,
[20:01] ---
    you're all are able to exist, yes?
[20:14] ---
    I won't forget.
[20:20] ---
    The agony of being unable
    to save my allies.

[20:28] ---
    The pain of losing my family.
[20:35] ---
    I will never forget.
[20:44] ---
    Repairs complete, excluding memory sectors
    that were self-destroyed.

[20:51] ---
    Activation of unit A2 confirmed.
[20:57] ---
    Good morning, A2.
[21:01] ---
    Machine... lifeforms...
[21:03] ---
    - Proposal. Get plenty of rest.
    - Y-You have woken up?

[21:07] ---
    Oh, my, my.
[21:08] ---
    Report.
[21:09] ---
    Confirmed loss
    of consciousness.

[21:09] ---
    Oh, are you all right?
    Hold on just one moment!

[21:11] ---
    Reactivating now.
[21:13] ---
    Currently, replaying repaired data
    that was self-destroyed.

[21:22] ---
    Oh...
[21:24] ---
    You know...
[21:27] ---
    We'll be... together for all time?
[21:35] ---
    What's up with that?
[21:36] ---
    Hilarious!
[21:38] ---
    Don't laugh.
[21:40] ---
    I'm sick of looking at her face.
[21:42] ---
    Same goes for me.
[21:43] ---
    It's only been one week, you know?
[21:45] ---
    To be precise, 6 days,
    12 hours, and 48 seconds.

[21:48] ---
    That's not what she means.
[21:50] ---
    I'm just saying
    it looks that way! Sheesh!

[21:55] ---
    I hope it'll be like that.
[21:58] ---
    Yup!
[22:04] ---
    Rose.
[22:06] ---
    The meaning of my life
    is to protect everyone.

[22:11] ---
    Because...
[22:13] ---
    I want to be together
    with everyone.

[22:17] ---
    Just like me.
[22:22] ---
    We'll totally stay together!
[22:27] ---
