[00:20] SoldierA
    This is Alpha 13. Come in, base.
[00:23] SoldierA
    This is Alpha 13. Come in, base.
[00:26] SoldierA
    This is Alpha 13—
[00:28] Radio
    Base here. What's going on?
[00:29] SoldierA
    The enemy attacked while we
    were carrying out the mission.
[00:33] SoldierA
    Of the 324 men in the
    Alpha corps, 323 are dead.
[00:37] SoldierA
    I'm the only survivor.
[00:39] SoldierA
    The enemy...
[00:42] SoldierA
    appears to be the Union.
[00:46] SoldierA
    What happened?!
[00:47] SoldierA
    What was that?! Come in, base!
[00:50] SoldierB
    This is Alpha 13! Come in—
[01:02] SoldierB
    This way! Hurry!
[01:16] SoldierC
    H-Help me...
[01:22] Shark
    And where are you going, huh?
[01:27] Shark
    Play with me some more!
[01:38] Shark
    Damn. Didn't even last
    long enough to kill time.
[01:41] Tao
    Sorry to interrupt your leisure time,
[01:44] Tao
    but it looks like our target isn't there.
[01:57] Tao
    Found you.
[02:00] Tao
    Takio, I sent you the heliport's location.
[02:02] Tao
    It's a bit far. Can you get there?
[02:05] Takio
    Not a problem.
[02:21] SoldierF
    Damn it!
[02:29] Takio
    Target secured.
[02:35] Shark
    I thought this would be my first
    big job in ages. That was it?
[02:39] Crans
    Shark. Hammer.
[02:42] Crans
    The goal of these missions
    is not your personal satisfaction.
[02:47] Shark
    So our Captain Crans
    finally makes his appearance.
[02:53] Crans
    Tao.
[02:54] Crans
    Takio.
[02:55] Crans
    Let's leave things here to the backup unit,
[02:57] Crans
    and head to the site of our next mission.
[03:00] Shark
    And where would that be?
[03:04] Crans
    Japan.
SIGN    What Must Be Protected
[04:51] Tashiro
    This is the first time I've ever wanted to
    just hurry up and get to school!
[04:55] Kase
    It did seem like being in the
    hospital was suffocating you.
[04:59] Kase
    Shouldn't you take it easy
    a little longer, though?
[05:03] Kase
    You can't even take notes with that arm.
[05:05] Kase
    Ow!
[05:06] Tashiro
    What're you talking about?
[05:08] Tashiro
    I'll just get you to take them
    for me. Problem solved.
[05:11] Kase
    Huh?
[05:11] Kase
    For crying out loud...
[05:18] Tashiro
    For real?
[05:19] Girl
    I've never seen him before.
[05:21] Girl
    Who is he?
[05:25] Girl
    He's hot!
[05:27] Tashiro
    Wh-What the heck? All the girls'
    eyes turned into hearts?!
[05:30] Kase
    Who is that? A new security guard?
[05:34] Girl
    Good morning!
[05:36] M-21
    Morning.
[05:37] Kase
    Excuse me. Good morning.
[05:39] Tashiro
    Good morning.
[05:43] M-21
    Your arm...
[05:45] Tashiro
    Oh, I had a little run-in
    with a car the other day.
[05:48] Kase
    He's a real klutz.
[05:50] Tashiro
    I did it to save you, remember?!
[05:52] Kase
    Sorry, I'm sorry!
[05:55] Franken
    It appears the memory erasure
    has been a success, Master.
[06:00] Raizel
    Yes.
[06:03] (Flashback) Franken
    And just who are you?
[06:06] (Flashback) Franken
    It's clear that you, along with the man
    and woman we eliminated,
[06:09] (Flashback) Franken
    are not ordinary human beings.
[06:12] (Flashback) M-21
    We belong to an organization
    called the Union.
[06:16] (Flashback) Franken
    The Union?
[06:18] (Flashback) M-21
    It's an organization with an
    extraordinary capacity for science,
[06:20] (Flashback) M-21
    and we...
[06:22] (Flashback) M-21
    could be called their creations.
[06:25] (Flashback) M-21
    That said, I'm only an experimental subject
[06:28] (Flashback) M-21
    whose purpose was to aid the completion
    of successes like Jake and Marie.
[06:33] (Flashback) M-21
    At first, I couldn't even
    do something this simple.
[06:36] (Flashback) M-21
    But as time passed,
[06:38] (Flashback) M-21
    only M-24 and I achieved a sort
    of evolution for some reason.
[06:43] (Flashback) M-21
    Although we're still little more than
    garbage compared to the successes.
[06:49] (Flashback) Franken
    How many other experimental
    subjects like you are there?
[06:54] (Flashback) M-21
    None, now.
[06:57] (Flashback) M-21
    I was the only one to survive.
[07:00] (Flashback) M-21
    I couldn't even save M-24.
[07:06] (Flashback) Franken
    What do you intend to do from now on?
[07:09] (Flashback) Franken
    If you have nowhere to go,
    you should live here.
[07:13] (Flashback) Franken
    You defied the organization.
[07:14] (Flashback) Franken
    If they find out you're alive,
    they might send people to find you.
[07:18] (Flashback) M-21
    What are you thinking?
[07:20] (Flashback) Franken
    You protected my students.
[07:23] (Flashback) Franken
    They sustained only minor injuries
    thanks to you and your friend.
[07:30] (Flashback) Franken
    Of course, if you wish to leave,
    you're free to do so.
[07:33] (Flashback) Franken
    I have no intention of trapping you here.
[07:34] (Flashback) M-21
    Are you serious? You're being awfully trusting.
[07:39] (Flashback) M-21
    But I'm not as soft-hearted as you people.
[07:42] (Flashback) Franken
    Trust is not important.
[07:46] (Flashback) Franken
    All that matters is my master's decision.
[07:51] (Flashback) Franken
    Very well. I wouldn't
    suggest you stay for free.
[07:54] (Flashback) Franken
    I had just been thinking of hiring new staff.
[08:03] Raizel
    Franken...
[08:04] Franken
    Yes, Master?
[08:06] Raizel
    I'm going now... to do that.
[08:09] Franken
    He isn't thinking of doing what
    I told him about last night, is he?
[08:22] Kase
    Morning.
[08:24] Tashiro
    Hey, been a while!
[08:25] GuyA
    All right... get him!
[08:27] Tashiro
    What the heck, you guys?! Cut it out!
[08:33] GirlA
    Hey, look!
[08:34] GirlA
    It's Raizel-kun!
[08:43] Kase
    Morning, Rai.
[08:44] Tashiro
    Hey, long time no see.
[08:46] Tashiro
    How've you been?
SIGN    Broken Bone Man
SIGN    Perv
SIGN    Idiot
[08:52] Kase
    What's wrong?
[08:53] Tashiro
    Does it look that new and unusual to you?
[09:00] Tashiro
    What, you too?!
[09:01] Kase
    You just can't help wanting
    to doodle on it, huh?
[09:04] Tashiro
    What the heck is this?!
[09:07] Tashiro
    Don't draw weird stuff on it!
[09:09] Kase
    Weird? I think it's cute.
[09:11] Tashiro
    What's cute about this?!
[09:13] Kase
    You have a scary face, so it's a good match.
[09:15] Tashiro
    What does that mean?!
[09:21] Franken
    I hope Master is enjoying himself.
[09:32] Kase
    No, Yu-chan!
[09:33] Kase
    You can't use your smartphone during class!
[09:44] Kase
    You're not eating, Rai?
[09:46] Raizel
    I'm waiting for it to multiply.
[09:47] Tashiro
    That again?!
[09:49] GuyB
    Aw, come on.
[09:51] GuyB
    I'm just gonna hang out
    with a friend for a bit after school.
[09:55] GuyB
    Okay, sure. Later.
[10:00] Girl
    See ya.
[10:00] Girl
    Bye bye.
[10:02] Tashiro
    Finally done!
[10:04] Tashiro
    Manabu, did you get the new release yet?
[10:06] Kase
    The game? Yeah, I got it.
[10:08] Tashiro
    Sweet! I'll beat it by the end of the day!
[10:12] Kase
    With that arm?
[10:15] Kase
    Oh, Rai, want to come over, too?
[10:17] Kase
    We're meeting at my place.
[10:18] Tashiro
    Oh, good idea!
[10:19] Tashiro
    You kinda suck at games, though.
[10:23] Tashiro
    So I'll train you up!
[10:26] Kase
    What's wrong? Do you have other plans?
[10:28] Tashiro
    Oh, right... you're living
    at the director's place.
[10:32] Kase
    Oh, yeah...
[10:34] Kase
    He'd worry if you went anywhere
    after school without telling him.
[10:37] Tashiro
    And you don't have one of those, either.
[10:39] Kase
    Yeah.
[10:44] Franken
    How was your first day on the job?
[10:46] M-21
    I have no particular thoughts about it.
[10:49] M-21
    I'm only working to make up
    for being allowed to stay here.
[10:53] M-21
    And there's no telling how
    long it will continue, either.
[10:58] Franken
    I see.
[11:05] Raizel
    Franken, this world truly has changed.
[11:10] Franken
    You were asleep for
    quite a long time, Master.
[11:17] Raizel
    Humans are remarkable.
[11:19] Raizel
    Those youths have something that I lack.
[11:23] Raizel
    They say that if I had this something,
    I could accomplish more.
[11:30] Raizel
    I would not get lost, and taking
    occasional detours would be acceptable.
[11:37] Raizel
    They were also playing their
    so-called "games" on them.
[11:40] Franken
    Is he talking about cell phones?!
[11:44] Franken
    I apologize, Master.
[11:46] Franken
    I will arrange to provide one
    for you as soon as possible.
[11:56] Girls
    Good morning.
[11:58] M-21
    Morning.
[11:59] Tashiro
    Morning, old dude!
[12:01] M-21
    Old?!
[12:02] Kase
    Keep up the good work.
[12:04] Tashiro
    Later, old dude!
[12:12] Tashiro
    Hey, Rai. Morning.
[12:15] Tashiro
    Dude, that's a smartphone!
[12:17] Kase
    What? Rai has one?
[12:19] Kase
    It's the latest model!
[12:21] Tashiro
    Now you won't have to take your calls
    through the director's phone.
[12:24] Tashiro
    So give me your number, man!
[12:28] Tashiro
    You don't know what it is, do you?
[12:30] Kase
    Looks like I'm up to the plate.
[12:33] Kase
    Let me see your phone, Rai.
[12:35] Kase
    I'll...
[12:37] Kase
    make you a smartphone master!
[12:41] Kase
    First, you do this, and then this...
SIGN    Contacts
SIGN    Cadis Etrama Di Raizel
    Contacts: 1
SIGN    Frankenstein
[12:44] Tashiro
    Manabu, send me his number and address, too.
[12:47] Kase
    Sure.
[12:48] Kase
    This is called "e-mail." When you do this...
[12:51] Kase
    See? You can use emojis and stuff.

[13:29] Janitor
    Is it you?
[13:32] Janitor
    The new special security
    guard I've heard about?
[13:35] Janitor
    I hear the director brought you here.
[13:38] Janitor
    You must be a very good person.
[13:41] M-21
    You have that much faith in him?
[13:46] Janitor
    Well...
[13:47] Janitor
    If nothing else, he's the one
    who founded this school.
[13:52] Janitor
    This is a great place.
[13:56] M-21
    A great place, eh?
[14:13] GuyA
    For real?
[14:14] GuyB
    Let's check it out!
[14:18] Tashiro
    What's going on?
[14:24] GangA
    This ain't the one.
[14:26] GangA
    Yo, I know there's a kid here
    with red hair! Get him out here!
[14:31] GangC
    Well, ain't you cute?
[14:33] Girl
    Let go of me!
[14:34] GangA
    I'm gonna make your little friend cry!
[14:37] GangA
    Come on, get out here right now!
[14:40] M-21
    Give me a break! I'm trying to stay hidden!
[14:44] Radio
    Newbie! What's going on? Report!
[14:47] M-21
    Sorry. You'll have to send backup. I can't go—
[14:50] Janitor
    Let go of that boy!
[14:51] Janitor
    Vehicles aren't permitted on these grounds.
[14:55] Janitor
    There's a separate entrance for vehicles.
[14:59] Janitor
    Would you please move...
[15:06] Janitor
    Please leave. This is a school.
[15:08] Janitor
    The children—
[15:09] GangA
    Oh, is it, now?
[15:17] GangA
    Are you the little shit
    who made a move on my girl?!
[15:20] Tashiro
    Huh?
[15:21] Kase
    Yu-chan, d-did you do something to that woman?
[15:28] Tashiro
    Oh.
[15:30] Tashiro
    This morning, before I met up
    with you, Manabu...
[15:35] (Flashback) Tashiro
    Careful!
[15:38] (Flashback) Tashiro
    You okay?
[15:41] Kase
    That's it?!
[15:42] Tashiro
    Yes, that's it!
[15:44] Tashiro
    Tell him that's all it was!
[15:50] Tashiro
    Yo, old dude.
[15:51] Tashiro
    Don't get all worked up
    over something like that.
[15:54] Tashiro
    You're a grown man.
[15:59] GangC
    What're you doing, bro?
[16:01] GangD
    Let's teach him a lesson, so he'll
     never screw with you again.
[16:06] GangA
    Sure.
[16:07] Tashiro
    You should really give it a rest, you old fart.
[16:12] Tashiro
    You're letting your jealousy
    get way out of hand.
[16:15] GangA
    Watch your mouth, you little shit!
[16:27] Kase
    Yu-chan!
[16:35] M-21
    Why is he looking at me like that?
[16:37] M-21
    Is he trying to provoke me?
[16:43] M-21
    Don't be ridiculous.
[16:45] M-21
    You know I can't afford
    to start any trouble right now!
[17:02] Kase
    He did it!
[17:04] GangA
    I'm not gonna hold back anymore!
[17:06] GangA
    You're dead!
[17:13] Kase
    Yu-chan!
[17:17] Janitor
    Stop hurting the students!
[17:23] Tashiro
    Old dude...
[17:25] GangA
    People who are too nice
    always end up suffering for it.
[17:28] M-21
    Let him go.
[17:34] Kase
    Sir...
[17:36] GangA
    We got us another nice guy, I see.
[17:39] M-21
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[17:41] M-21
    I told you to let him go.
[17:44] GangA
    Look, old man...
[17:45] GangA
    Stay out of this!
[17:55] GangA
    You bastard!
[17:59] GangA
    No way... Impossible!
[18:02] GangA
    He's not budging!
[18:19] M-21
    If no one had been watching,
    you'd be dead right now.
[18:25] GangA
    Let's get outta here, guys!
[18:29] Tashiro
    Old dude!
[18:31] Kase
    Thanks a lot!
[18:33] Tashiro
    You're strong as hell!
[18:35] Kase
    That was incredible!
[18:36] Girl
    You were so cool!
[18:37] Tashiro
    Did you study martial arts?
[18:38] Guy
    Awesome!
[18:39] Guy
    Were you a martial artist?
[18:58] (Flashback) M-21
    We were born inside clear glass tubes.
[19:02] (Flashback) M-21
    We weren't useful alive.
[19:04] (Flashback) M-21
    Our bodies were stripped bare, our blood taken,
[19:06] (Flashback) M-21
    our lives used up
    until we could be discarded,
[19:09] (Flashback) M-21
    and only then were we seen as useful.
[19:12] (Flashback) M-21
    So we never had any real names.
[19:15] (Flashback) M-21
    We were only acknowledged
    in life by others like us.
[19:20] (Flashback) M-21
    But we all tried our hardest to live,
[19:24] (Flashback) M-21
    just like all the ordinary
    humans in this town.
[19:27] (Flashback) M-24
    Ordinary, huh?
[19:29] (Flashback) M-24
    I guess you're right.
    That's how everyone expects to live.
[19:35] (Flashback) M-24
    Let's search for our names.
[19:37] (Flashback) M-24
    We'll find our names one day.
[19:41] (Flashback) M-24
    And the names of our fallen comrades, too.
[19:49] Franken
    I heard what happened at school.
[19:52] M-21
    I apologize. I didn't think it through.
[19:55] M-21
    I'm supposed to be keeping
    myself hidden with your help.
[19:59] Franken
    Just restrain yourself enough
    to avoid killing anyone.
[20:04] Franken
    I suppose that goes without saying, though.
[20:09] M-21
    There's something I have to do.
[20:13] M-21
    I made a promise to a comrade
    that I need to fulfill.
[20:20] M-21
    Would you allow me to live here?
[20:23] M-21
    Please.
[20:24] Franken
    What are you saying?
[20:27] Franken
    I told you right at the start
    that's what you should do.
[20:39] Raizel
    What do you think?
[20:41] Franken
    I think I now understand why
    you decided to let him stay here.
[20:51] M-21
    M-24... I swear I'll keep my promise.
[20:56] M-21
    Until that day...
[20:58] M-21
    I'll live the kind of ordinary life
    everyone expects... with all of you.
[21:09] Tao
    Huh...
[21:11] Tao
    So this is Japan.
[21:12] Takio
    It's a metropolis.
[21:14] Shark
    And this is where we're
    supposed to go rampaging?
[21:17] Shark
    So our mission this time
    isn't a war, but terrorism?
[21:21] Crans
    No. Our mission this time
    isn't fighting. It's investigation.
[21:25] Shark
    Investigation?
[21:26] Crans
    Contact with Jake and Marie,
    the ones assigned to retrieve the coffin,
[21:31] Crans
    was cut off here.
[21:33] Shark
    You mean they...
[21:35] Tao
    And two failed experiments have
    apparently gone missing, too.
[21:41] Tao
    Found that out when I hacked into the
    organization's server to kill some time.
[21:45] Shark
    Why do we have to investigate, though?
[21:48] Shark
    Is that the right job for guys like us,
    who specialize in large-scale combat?
[21:51] Crans
    It doesn't matter.
[21:53] Crans
    We need only follow the
    organization's orders. Nothing more.
