**[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...
**[23:29] ---**
