[00:04] ---
    You told me that you finally
    found where you belong.
[00:08] ---
    I don't even know when it started.
[00:11] ---
    Ever since I can remember,
    we were always together.
[00:19] ---
    Your hand always held mine,
    no matter what we faced.
[00:25] ---
    Thinking back on it now, your hand
    wasn't that much bigger than mine.
[00:31] ---
    But the warmth of your hand helped
    me confirm my own existence.
[00:38] ---
    It was where I belonged.
[00:41] ---
    But...
[00:43] ---
    After we started living at the old man's house,
[00:45] ---
    you told me this after discovering
    extension technology.
[00:49] ---
    To those who have lost
    valuable things in their life,
[00:53] ---
    I might be able to use this technology to
    give back something even more valuable.
[00:58] ---
    Someone like me.
    I finally found where I belong, Mary.
[01:03] ---
    Your eyes were so beautiful as you gazed
    into the distance saying those words...
[01:09] ---
    I wasn't able to say, "The place I
    belong is right next to you, Victor."
[01:17] ---
    When you left me behind and
    joined the war, I was very uneasy.
[01:26] ---
    At the same time, I was so proud of you.
[01:30] ---
    If I could meet you again,
    I wanted to say one thing...
[01:38] ---
    I've become a full-fledged engineer
    and found my own place to belong.
[01:46] ---
    But...
[03:28] ---
    "A Place to Call Home"
[03:34] ---
    That skill that Victor uses...
[03:41] ---
    It has to be a huge strain on the sub-brain.
[03:45] ---
    He shouldn't be able to use it in quick
    succession without sedatives.
[03:50] ---
    If that's the case, I don't think Juzo
    would lose to Victor, even with one arm.
[03:57] ---
    But...
[03:59] ---
    As an old friend, let me
    tell you one thing, Juzo.
[04:04] ---
    You shouldn't hold back if
    you want to take me down.
[04:10] ---
    You're pretty cheeky.
[04:12] ---
    Do you really understand
    that I'm a Gun Slave Unit?
[04:18] ---
    Of course I do.
[04:22] ---
    I'm your personal engineer.
[04:26] ---
    You're the one who doesn't understand.
[04:29] ---
    Just how many Extendeds do
    you think I've slaughtered?
[04:39] ---
    That's true...
[04:57] ---
    What the hell are these?
[05:01] ---
    Remote control?!
[05:04] ---
    Juzo! Victor's comrades must be hiding nearby!
[05:09] ---
    They're the ones controlling those Extendeds!
[05:13] ---
    That's not quite right.
[05:17] ---
    Did you know?
[05:18] ---
    Curiously, Extendeds stuffed into a body
    without a head often lose their free will.
[05:24] ---
    So now they're puppets that
    just follow my orders now.
[05:31] ---
    Puppets?!
[05:37] ---
    Funke Faust!
[05:51] ---
    Quit joking around.
[05:54] ---
    True. That was rude of me.
[05:57] ---
    You'd never be able to go
    all out on puppets like these.
[06:03] ---
    Juzo, get back!
[06:13] ---
    Bastard, what the hell did you do?
[06:18] ---
    Did you forget? My other name...
[06:24] ---
    The Dismantler, huh?
[06:27] ---
    That's right.
[06:29] ---
    As long as they are in my reach...
[06:32] ---
    ...I can take apart any Extended
    instantly with these hands!
[06:46] ---
    You bastards!
[06:53] ---
    How far do I have to strip you
    down to see your true form?
[07:05] ---
    Juzo!
[07:12] ---
    It's no use...
[07:14] ---
    ...even if you block your pain sensors.
[07:18] ---
    Shall I remind you, then?
[07:21] ---
    Even though enemies and allies
    alike feared you during the war,
[07:25] ---
    the reason you always hesitated
    to flaunt your power...
[07:30] ---
    Victor... You bastard!
[07:33] ---
    Among the 13 Gun Slave Units,
    only you were given the role.
[07:41] ---
    Verrat Dreizehn.
[07:43] ---
    The brethren slayer, Device 13!
[07:46] ---
    The anecdotes of you are stained in blood!
[07:51] ---
    Brethren killer?
[07:54] ---
    No matter how long it has been since
    the war, those events have shackled you.
[08:02] ---
    Well, that's a problem for me.
[08:12] ---
    All of your outer layers...
[08:15] ---
    I'll strip them down!
[08:32] ---
    Where is the Victor I know?
[08:39] ---
    Victor!
[08:43] ---
    That's enough already!
[08:46] ---
    Boob rockets...
[08:49] ---
    ...launch!
[09:01] ---
    Funke Faust!
[09:10] ---
    I'm a bit reluctant, but it looks like
    I don't have any more hands to play!
[09:17] ---
    Impossible!
[09:19] ---
    You sacrificed your right arm
    to steal away my own arms?!
[09:30] ---
    Whether the Victor I knew was the real Victor...
[09:36] ---
    ...or the Victor in front of me.
[09:39] ---
    I just don't know...
[09:43] ---
    But to stop you from hurting any more people...
[09:49] ---
    At least, with my own hands...
[10:16] ---
    You're always so reckless.
[10:19] ---
    Just because you can block your pain sensors!
[10:24] ---
    Mary, you...
[10:26] ---
    It...
[10:29] ---
    It was the right thing to do.
[10:36] ---
    That's right.
[10:39] ---
    You have no reason to blame yourself, Mary.
[10:44] ---
    Lefty?! You're okay!
[10:47] ---
    Yes.
[10:48] ---
    Since that body is unconscious, I was able
    to allocate more of my sub-brain here.
[10:56] ---
    I'm able to communicate using
    this voice box because of that.
[11:02] ---
    Bastard. Hurry up and tell us who you are.
[11:07] ---
    Juzo, you have my thanks.
[11:11] ---
    As promised, you've been protecting
    Mary in my place this whole time.
[11:16] ---
    Huh?!
[11:17] ---
    You're...
[11:19] ---
    V-Victor?!
[11:21] ---
    That's right.
[11:23] ---
    I'm the real Victor.
[11:25] ---
    Huh?! But then...
[11:28] ---
    That body was just a puppet
    for the other Victor.
[11:35] ---
    Tell us the details.
[11:45] ---
    Sorry, I'm going to borrow your body a bit.
[11:51] ---
    Let's put aside whether we
    can trust you or not for now.
[11:56] ---
    If you're the "real" Victor,
    who the hell was that?
[12:03] ---
    It's just as I said before.
[12:05] ---
    That was just a puppet.
[12:07] ---
    And the one controlling that
    puppet is my shadow.
[12:12] ---
    Victor's shadow?
[12:14] ---
    That's hot.
[12:16] ---
    Juzo.
[12:17] ---
    I want you to destroy the
    shadow that I have created.
[12:26] ---
    Let's see...
[12:28] ---
    It was back when I was your personal engineer.
[12:34] ---
    As you know, I joined the
    military as an engineer.
[12:38] ---
    Because of that, I was sent to a research
    facility far from the front lines.
[12:43] ---
    I thought that my research
    results would save the soldiers.
[12:46] ---
    Working toward winning the war
    was a very worthwhile job.
[12:53] ---
    I never doubted the fact that extension
    technology would help the people.
[13:01] ---
    Eventually, in order to get around the
    Limitation of Drone Weaponry Treaty,
[13:07] ---
    we worked day and night to make
    remote extension control a reality.
[13:16] ---
    If we could make remote control a reality,
[13:19] ---
    the soldiers wouldn't have to be
    exposed to unnecessary danger.
[13:24] ---
    However, to do that, we had to deal with
    the intense feedback from the remote body.
[13:33] ---
    Resonance.
[13:39] ---
    Just like the boy.
[13:44] ---
    Pain is an important source of
    information when controlling a body.
[13:48] ---
    If we just shut down the sense of pain,
    there was a huge drop in systemic control.
[13:54] ---
    However, the sub-brain technology
    that could handle the input and output
[14:00] ---
    of that much information had just been
    invented and was still lacking...
[14:07] ---
    It was then that I suggested
    the parallel sub-brain system.
[14:13] ---
    We used two sub-brains to simulate
    the left and right side of the brain.
[14:17] ---
    I had succeeded in increasing the
    amount of sheer processing power.
[14:23] ---
    Parallel sub-brains?
[14:25] ---
    I don't think it was ever
    released to the public.
[14:28] ---
    It was top-secret military research and
    has already been scrapped as a failure.
[14:33] ---
    In other words, there was a flaw.
[14:37] ---
    If it had succeeded, the problem with
    remote resonance would have been solved.
[14:43] ---
    That's right, Mary.
[14:50] ---
    I used myself as a test subject.
[14:52] ---
    After many trials, we did our
    first test on the front lines.
[15:03] ---
    That's when I saw it through the
    eyes of my remote extension.
[15:17] ---
    The results of my research.
[15:54] ---
    Stop it!
[15:57] ---
    It should have been research
    to save the people...
[16:06] ---
    But not a single soul was
    saved on that battlefield.
[16:12] ---
    Just what have I been doing until now?
[16:20] ---
    When I opened my eyes after the shock
    that seemed to crush my heart...
[16:27] ---
    ...all I saw was the research facility and my
    fellow engineers burning to the ground.
[16:36] ---
    Along with someone who looked
    like me that wasn't me.
[16:47] ---
    What does that mean?!
[16:49] ---
    Did you do it while you were unconscious?!
[16:52] ---
    Just like it sounds,
[16:54] ---
    you know that a sub-brain is a program
    used to help control an Extended, right?
[17:02] ---
    Those sub-brains are often affected by
    the thought process routines of the user.
[17:09] ---
    No way...
[17:11] ---
    My sub-brain decided to use those routines
    to move autonomously as Victor,
[17:17] ---
    controlling my body.
[17:20] ---
    It took over since my own brain had been
    shocked from the scene of war.
[17:27] ---
    No way. I can't believe that a sub-brain
    would move on its own...
[17:34] ---
    I know that it's hard to believe.
[17:36] ---
    However, I'm sure that he is moving
[17:38] ---
    in accordance with my thought
    processes at the time.
[17:45] ---
    Extension technology should
    not exist in this world.
[17:49] ---
    That's what he believes.
[17:53] ---
    That is why he believes that his sin
[17:56] ---
    is the development of extension technology
    and bringing Extendeds into this world.
[18:01] ---
    He's trying to atone by
    destroying all of the Extendeds.
[18:06] ---
    B-But it seemed like he was trying to look
    inside of Juzo more than destroy him.
[18:13] ---
    Well, I'm sure he also holds a lot of
    interest in the extension technology.
[18:20] ---
    Juzo.
[18:21] ---
    The hostility he showed you is real.
[18:24] ---
    Once he gets a clear look
    inside of you, he will kill you.
[18:31] ---
    Then, the reason that Victor is
    working with Spitzbergen...
[18:36] ---
    Their aim to destroy all Extendeds
    match up with his goal.
[18:41] ---
    I don't really get it.
[18:44] ---
    But long story short, your body has
    been taken over by your sub-brain?
[18:49] ---
    Well, that's about it.
[18:52] ---
    I'm not comfortable about this.
[18:59] ---
    So that means...
[19:02] ---
    ...the fake Victor I had been fighting was
    controlled by your parallel sub-brain.
[19:10] ---
    That's right.
[19:11] ---
    And, you're controlling that hand
    extension remotely from somewhere.
[19:18] ---
    Well. To summarize, yes.
[19:21] ---
    Why are you doing something that troublesome?
[19:25] ---
    Then, where is your real body
    with the sub-brain?
[19:33] ---
    I'm sure you'll find out soon enough.
[19:37] ---
    And when you do, Juzo,
[19:41] ---
    please destroy the parallel
    sub-brain installed on my body.
[19:45] ---
    Huh?
[19:52] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[19:56] ---
    It's true that I felt despair
    on that battlefield.
[20:00] ---
    Everything I believed in crumbled away.
[20:04] ---
    But I don't wish for all
    Extendeds to disappear.
[20:10] ---
    There are facets of extension technology
    that can definitely help people.
[20:15] ---
    So please, Juzo...
[20:22] ---
    Victor?!
[20:25] ---
    His consciousness is returning...
[20:29] ---
    It looks like our conversation
    is reaching its limit.
[20:34] ---
    No way...
[20:37] ---
    I'm sure he still has a puppet somewhere...
[20:44] ---
    Sorry, but I'm sick of doing jobs for free.
[20:49] ---
    Juzo...
[20:51] ---
    I'll be sure to get my pay from you.
    Including the first job.
[21:01] ---
    You better prepare yourself.
[21:04] ---
    Juzo, I'm sorry...
[21:26] ---
    Juzo!
[21:29] ---
    Sorry, but I can't have you
    taking care of Victor's real body.
[21:38] ---
    In accordance with the law,
    I will take it into custody.
[21:43] ---
    Me, Avi Cobo, as the upholder of the law!
[23:21] ---
    --Stopping that is the job
    of a personal engineer.
[23:22] ---
    --Why did you leave me behind?!
    --Stopping that is the job
    of a personal engineer.
[23:23] ---
    --The other Victor, I presume?
    --Why did you leave me behind?!
    --Stopping that is the job
    of a personal engineer.
[23:25] ---
    --The other Victor, I presume?
    --What in the world are you thinking?
[23:26] ---
    --What in the world are you thinking?
    --That joke ain't funny.
[23:28] ---
    Victor...
