[00:02] ---
    I just followed those two from
    Berühren here, but ran into a nostalgic face.
[00:09] ---
    Long time no see, Kronen.
[00:12] ---
    We went through the same training
    together once, with our hatred for Extendeds...
[00:18] ---
    But here we are on completely different sides.
[00:24] ---
    Is your car still the only thing in your heart?
[00:30] ---
    My job is to eliminate all criminal Extendeds.
[00:34] ---
    I have nothing to say to a terrorist.
[00:40] ---
    But... Well, you're a different story.
[00:46] ---
    I have to take responsibility for
    an embarrassing fellow pupil.
[02:24] ---
    "Imprisoning Binds"
[02:52] ---
    You better close the distance
    if you plan to take me down.
[02:56] ---
    I have the advantage at this distance.
[03:01] ---
    You've only focused on
    slaughtering Extendeds until now.
[03:04] ---
    You don't even know the trigger
    points for regular humans, do you?
[03:11] ---
    You already know that you'll
    lose if I close in on you.
[03:15] ---
    But you only took your shots when I got close.
[03:20] ---
    In other words, you should be low on needles.
[03:25] ---
    I'm finally getting results.
[03:28] ---
    That's why I can't let you
    catch me in a place like this.
[03:33] ---
    Do you really have the time to
    play around with me, Kronen?
[04:07] ---
    Was that Inui just now?
[04:14] ---
    I have to save Juzo.
[04:19] ---
    Save him? That guy?!
[04:22] ---
    That's right...
[04:28] ---
    Kunugi. I let the bastard escape.
[04:47] ---
    He's me.
[04:52] ---
    The me that was just a tool that didn't
    know the meaning of my choices.
[05:00] ---
    That's why...
[05:04] ---
    I'm going to abandon this mission.
[05:08] ---
    A soldier shouldn't kill his own comrades.
[05:13] ---
    You're not my tool... much less
    the tool of the command center.
[05:21] ---
    You decide what you want to do, Juzo.
[05:27] ---
    I'm just a gun.
[05:32] ---
    I only exist to follow orders
    and take down enemies.
[05:44] ---
    I see.
[05:47] ---
    Well, I guess that's your choice, partner.
[05:57] ---
    That's why I can't lose against him.
[06:07] ---
    Protective smokescreen dispersed.
[06:11] ---
    Vertebral coupling bay. TH05 changed to 07.
[06:17] ---
    Converting configuration to subjugation mode.
[06:22] ---
    I hate you.
[06:25] ---
    Pepper only needs me.
[06:28] ---
    But if Pepper really wants you...
[06:32] ---
    ...I'll defeat you and make
    you bow down to Pepper,
[06:36] ---
    even if it means destroying an entire city!
[06:55] ---
    This is...
[06:56] ---
    We are currently at the End of War
    Commemoration Park.
[07:00] ---
    It seems the stadium is being heavily
    damaged from a renegade Over-Extended.
[07:06] ---
    --Hey, now. Do you think
    that it could be Juzo?
    --Please evacuate immediately if you are
    near the park or neighborhood. I repeat...
[07:09] ---
    --Please evacuate immediately if you are
    near the park or neighborhood. I repeat...
[07:10] ---
    --Juzo...
    --Please evacuate immediately if you are
    near the park or neighborhood. I repeat...
[07:27] ---
    In order to respond to any
    situation of the war independently,
[07:31] ---
    structurally compressed vertebral coupling bays
    known as the Devil's Backbone were installed.
[07:37] ---
    The control device and key
    to those bays are Hands.
[07:44] ---
    You and Seven.
[07:46] ---
    This is the difference between a
    Gun Slave Unit with and without a shooter.
[07:51] ---
    I feel like you and I can complete one another.
[07:59] ---
    So become mine, Juzo.
[08:14] ---
    You decide what you want to do, Juzo.
[08:34] ---
    What the hell's wrong with you?!
[08:36] ---
    What are you trying to protect, to go this far?!
[08:39] ---
    You're definitely going to die at this rate!
[08:42] ---
    You should toss aside
    intangible things like policies!
[08:46] ---
    Even if you end up showing
    your disgraceful side!
[08:48] ---
    Not wanting to die is what it means to be human!
[08:53] ---
    I don't have anything like that!
[08:56] ---
    I don't have anything that I'd
    give up my own life to protect.
[09:02] ---
    If I open you up...
[09:08] ---
    ...will I get my hands on something like that?
[09:21] ---
    The results aren't very satisfactory
    on an irregular like him.
[09:29] ---
    If you're going to do it, hurry up.
[09:37] ---
    The reason Harmony is special is because
    it can hack into the sub-brain.
[09:41] ---
    The hacking abilities of Harmony is needed
    to remove that limiter so Device 13
[09:48] ---
    can fight evenly against Seven.
[09:53] ---
    If I use Harmony...
[09:56] ---
    Don't you ever think of using
    Harmony on me again!
[10:00] ---
    I'm sure Juzo will be mad.
[10:04] ---
    What's important is what you'll
    choose once you find out.
[10:11] ---
    You obtained a chance to make a choice.
[10:16] ---
    You get to decide your own worth.
[10:22] ---
    Even so, I...
[10:32] ---
    I want to save Juzo!
[10:39] ---
    This... This must be the reason
    Berühren is chasing him down!
[11:05] ---
    This is...
[11:10] ---
    That's my trigger.
[11:13] ---
    The trigger that the higher ups
    and that guy used to always pull.
[11:27] ---
    I don't have any memories of
    when I was still flesh and blood.
[11:31] ---
    The only me that I know is me as
    a soldier through and through.
[11:37] ---
    This is...
[11:40] ---
    You're using something that
    looks so unstylish again.
[11:44] ---
    I heard that there are various daily goods
    with sedatives mixed in for Extendeds now.
[11:52] ---
    Like cigarettes, for example.
[11:55] ---
    These were distributed by the military.
[11:58] ---
    It's not like I chose what to use.
[12:04] ---
    You never change.
[12:10] ---
    You know what our mission is this time.
[12:14] ---
    We are supposed to eliminate Five and
    ten other Gun Slave Units as well as
[12:18] ---
    three Hands that are going
    against the disposal order.
[12:24] ---
    Our targets have barricaded themselves
    inside the church in the town of Tabal.
[12:32] ---
    The small town is surrounded by soldiers,
[12:36] ---
    but they won't engage in combat.
[12:40] ---
    You're the only one who will fight
    against the targets, Juzo.
[12:48] ---
    Your battle program will be active for 48 hours.
[12:55] ---
    Take care of everything in that time.
[13:00] ---
    This'll be the last time I pull this trigger.
[13:05] ---
    But don't forget, I'm always behind you.
[13:13] ---
    Do you really understand what will
    happen if you abandon this mission?
[13:24] ---
    Listen, partner.
[13:27] ---
    That's what makes it such a stylish move.
[13:47] ---
    Juzo's memories?
[13:58] ---
    That's why I didn't know how to
    be anything other than a soldier.
[14:10] ---
    I thought you'd come soon.
[14:16] ---
    Now don't be so hasty, Device 13.
[14:21] ---
    I'm tha only one here.
[14:26] ---
    I'm device 12. I go by Twelve.
[14:32] ---
    I was thinkin' of talking with you.
[14:40] ---
    The last Hands that was helpin'
    us just took his last breath.
[14:49] ---
    Four Gun Slave Units have already fallen, too.
[14:54] ---
    Our leader, Five, can't move
    half of his body anymore.
[15:03] ---
    Without a Hands, we can't even patch
    ourselves up with the Devil's Backbone.
[15:10] ---
    Everyone's beat up now.
[15:13] ---
    We don't got the strength to
    break through the soldiers.
[15:18] ---
    We're soldiers at heart.
[15:21] ---
    We ain't afraid of dying.
[15:25] ---
    It's just... we finally made
    it through that war.
[15:31] ---
    It doesn't hurt to enjoy life a little.
[15:45] ---
    Why don't you come with us, Device 13?
[15:50] ---
    We're all numbered comrades.
[15:54] ---
    On top of that, no one else has faces like ours.
[15:58] ---
    We could even call ourselves brothers.
[16:02] ---
    I'm... different from all of you.
[16:09] ---
    I heard you got a different
    setting from the rest of us.
[16:15] ---
    That's probably why they sent
    a guy like you to deal with us.
[16:21] ---
    Ya know, though...
[16:24] ---
    That's even more of a reason
    that you gotta make a decision.
[16:30] ---
    How you'll live.
[16:33] ---
    That decision.
[16:35] ---
    When your life comes to an end,
    it'll be how you measure your worth.
[16:41] ---
    Come with us, Device 13!
[16:51] ---
    This is the last of the sedatives.
[16:57] ---
    Can't be helped if you want
    to be a tool until the very end.
[17:04] ---
    But you know I can't let you go to my comrades.
[17:13] ---
    Regenguss Faust.
[17:16] ---
    I, Twelve, will take your life faster
    than the speed of lightning!
[17:27] ---
    Southwest of the town.
[17:30] ---
    There's an underground transportation
    route left by construction.
[17:36] ---
    The military doesn't know it exists.
[17:46] ---
    You're telling me there's a way out?
[18:03] ---
    Come on, we're almost there.
[18:08] ---
    Just a bit further everyone.
[18:12] ---
    But, really...
[18:14] ---
    Is that guy trustworthy?
[18:17] ---
    It won't be funny if we're surrounded
    the second we step outside.
[18:23] ---
    No worries, Five.
[18:25] ---
    The moment we make it outta here will
    be the moment of our birth as humans.
[18:32] ---
    We're gonna be kids with bodies like these?!
[18:34] ---
    The stronger the baby, the better!
[18:49] ---
    We really made it out...
[18:53] ---
    Looks like it's time for us to say, "Babuu."
[18:56] ---
    What do you plan to do now?
[19:00] ---
    Well, our faces stand out a lot.
[19:02] ---
    We'll have to lay low for a while.
[19:06] ---
    What? Time'll take care of everything.
[19:12] ---
    I just wish that shackled man...
[19:17] ---
    ...has a peaceful end.
[19:26] ---
    I see, that's you're answer, huh?
[19:51] ---
    Confirming elimination of targets.
[19:54] ---
    Terminating battle mode.
[19:57] ---
    Looks like he baited them so
    he could get them all at once.
[20:00] ---
    Even though they're comrades...
    I can't believe it.
[20:04] ---
    He's just like he looks, a lunatic Extended.
[20:22] ---
    We're all numbered comrades.
[20:26] ---
    We could even call ourselves brothers.
[20:35] ---
    Shutdown of Device 5 confirmed.
[20:37] ---
    Heavily damaged devices 2
    and 9 have been collected.
[20:40] ---
    Roger. Mission accomplished.
[20:43] ---
    Time to fall back.
[20:44] ---
    What are you doing? Hurry up.
[20:46] ---
    Don't forget, I'm always behind you.
[20:56] ---
    I'm... I...
[20:58] ---
    Well, I guess that's your choice.
[21:01] ---
    You're wrong.
[21:03] ---
    Are you still being loyal to the
    one who abandoned you?
[21:07] ---
    That ain't it.
[21:10] ---
    That was the moment I
    realized it for the first time.
[21:14] ---
    The fact that I never made a decision until now.
[21:20] ---
    I pushed all the decision making onto him...
[21:27] ---
    And, no matter who was pulling the trigger,
[21:31] ---
    everything that seemed like
    the doings of someone else...
[21:38] ---
    ...was actually all done by me!
[23:21] ---
    --Why have things come to this?!
[23:22] ---
    --Are they planning on startin' another war?
    --Why have things come to this?!
[23:24] ---
    --Are they planning on startin' another war?
    --Is this the order of your owners?
[23:25] ---
    --There's no way to save him anymore.
    --Is this the order of your owners?
[23:26] ---
    --There's no way to save him anymore.
    --It's my turn now, Juzo.
