[00:26] Nobel
Don't worry.
[00:28] Nobel
I'm sure we'll meet again.
[00:31] Nobel
No matter what difficulties we face...
[00:35] Nobel
we'll fulfill our destiny.
[00:43] Denta
Hey, you.
[00:44] Denta
Do you know about the highly skilled,
humanoid robots called "Androids"?
[00:49] Denta
As the culmination of
cutting-edge technologies,
[00:53] Denta
Androids can free you from everyday labor!
[00:56] Denta
With the sea level rising due to global warming,
the human population has plummeted,
[01:01] Denta
and today, humans alone can't take care
of all the necessary jobs themselves.
[01:05] Denta
Androids have brought us
the solution to that!
[01:10] Denta
Born to exist side-by-side with humans
and programmed to perfection,
[01:14] Denta
they're sure to become your
trusted partners in life!
SIGN To Esora
SIGN Please deliver this letter to the location below.
SIGN Hakushu Shibaura
SIGN Esora Shibaura
[01:30] Funeral Robo
The cremation is complete.
The cremation is complete.
[01:34] Funeral Robo
Are you a member of the Shibaura family?
[01:37] Esora
Yes... sort of.
SIGN Like I said, that's why we're a family!
[01:45] Neon
No way.
SIGN Neon
SIGN But why?! I'm more like an older brother than you, Neon!
[01:49] Neon
That's dumb.
SIGN C'mon, Kei!
SIGN You'd be the oldest brother, so say something!
SIGN Kei
[01:55] Kei
Don't drag me into your stupid argument.
SIGN Chrom, you're brother number two, right?
SIGN Chrom
[02:01] Chrom
I'm busy collecting data right now.
SIGN Come on!
SIGN Call me "big brother"!
SIGN Chrom, Kei, say something—!
[02:08] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[02:13] Eliza
Hello. I am your personal
AI assistant, Eliza.
SIGN Eliza
[02:17] Eliza
As usual, you four are off
in your own worlds.
SIGN Eliza, listen! Neon won't...
[02:23] Eliza
Cobalt, this is the 366th time you've tried
to make Neon call you "big brother."
SIGN If you live under the same roof and charge from the same Cradle,
SIGN Cobalt
SIGN that means you're family!
SIGN That's what my programming tells me!
[02:36] Neon
What a pain.
[02:38] Chrom
He can't help it, though.
[02:39] Chrom
Cobalt's parameters are distributed
[02:41] Chrom
to make him express
a strong interest in family.
SIGN But still!
[02:46] Eliza
Age is merely a question
of your Body's appearance.
[02:50] Eliza
You are Androids, after all.
SIGN Wha—?
SIGN Nora! Hey! Don't!
SIGN Whoa!
[03:03] Kei
Hey, you guys okay?
[03:06] Neon
I just can't.
[03:09] Kei
Geez. How does this thing get in, anyway?
[03:12] Eliza
Your Body has suffered 38 percent damage.
[03:15] Eliza
You require a mechanical
examination immediately.
[03:18] Kei
In order to get fixed, we need money, right?
[03:21] Chrom
Since we don't have any
operation requests set up,
[03:24] Chrom
how would we know what labor
to perform to earn an income?
[03:26] Chrom
I haven't the slightest idea.
[03:28] Eliza
Speaking of which, I have
an important notification for you all.
[03:30] ---
Request for payment of electrical bill
SIGN Request for payment of electrical bill
[03:31] Eliza
A collections notice has arrived
[03:33] Eliza
for the electrical bills you've
built up over the last year.
SIGN Collection?
[03:38] Chrom
Money is required to use electrical power.
[03:41] Chrom
Didn't they tell us that every month?
[03:42] Eliza
You knew but still didn't pay?
[03:46] Chrom
I am unable to process operation
requests to "pay the electrical bill."
[03:50] Chrom
Plus, we don't have any
money to begin with.
[03:53] Kei
What happens if we just don't pay it?
[03:56] Eliza
Most likely, your power will be shut off,
[03:59] Eliza
and you'll have no way
to recharge your energy.
[04:01] Eliza
Basically...
[04:02] Neon
A forced shutdown.
SIGN So that means...
[04:06] Chrom
You'll run out of power and won't be
able to boot up. That's basically it.
SIGN That's horrible!
SIGN What can I do?! What am I gonna do?!
[04:14] Eliza
At any rate, for now you must
find some way to pay the bill.
[04:19] Chrom
But the operation request has not—
[04:21] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[04:24] Eliza
Then there is no other choice.
[04:25] Eliza
I will issue a operation request this time.
SIGN Kei
SIGN Earn wages to pay the power bill
[04:29] Kei
"Earn wages to pay the power bill," huh?
[04:34] Chrom
Wages are commonly earned
as compensation for labor.
[04:37] Chrom
We should begin by searching
through job listings.
[04:40] Kei
Yeah.
[04:44] Denta
Babel. The symbol of a new age.
[04:48] Denta
A new paradise.
[04:49] Denta
An entertainment tower that provides
all kinds of thrills and information!
[04:54] Denta
Participants known as "Climbers"
enthrall audiences with song and dance
[04:58] Denta
to clear the Climb Stages!
[05:00] Denta
From the first to the fifth Stage,
they win a reward for each level they clear!
[05:05] Denta
And what awaits them beyond those
levels? Is it freedom? Glory?
[05:11] Denta
Esteemed Climbers, now is the time
to assemble at the tower of wisdom!
SIGN We're here!
[05:20] Neon
This is Babel?
[05:22] Kei
If we can win over audiences here
with our singing, we'll get a reward.
[05:26] Chrom
I always thought that participants
had to be human to register,
[05:30] Chrom
but they didn't even check us, did they?
SIGN Hey, why did the humans build this place, anyway?
SIGN Collecting everything exciting in one place so they can keep having fun...
SIGN What's the point?
[05:45] Chrom
Maybe they don't want to forget their
happy memories. Could that be it?
SIGN Forget?
[05:51] Chrom
Human memory apparently weakens
over time and eventually disappears.
[05:55] Chrom
That's why humans seek out the same
experiences—to recall their lost memories.
[06:01] Chrom
I read about it in a book a while ago.
SIGN Hmm.
SIGN Are we there?
[06:09] Neon
But there's nobody here.
[06:11] Chrom
According to the instructions they gave us,
[06:13] Chrom
if we pass through there,
we'll end up on stage.
[06:17] Kei
It's about time.
SIGN This might be the first time since booting up
SIGN that the four of us have done something together.
[06:23] Neon
You're probably right.
[06:25] Chrom
Apparently, that is what is
called a "first collaboration."
SIGN Whoa.
SIGN Let's go!
[06:36] Denta
New Climbers have arrived
on the first Climb Stage!
[06:42] Kei
Is that the audience?
[06:44] Chrom
It seems like it.
[06:45] Chrom
The first Stage is held in virtual reality,
[06:48] Chrom
so the viewers watch and rate
the performance in VR.
[06:53] Denta
Okay, guys. Are you ready to go?
[06:57] Denta
All right, then. Show us what you've got!
SIGN Elephant, elephant
[07:05] Chrom
Poor thing, poor thing, little lost kitty
SIGN What a really long nose you have there
[07:09] Chrom
Where in the world could your home be?
SIGN Sure I do, and I'll show you
[07:13] Chrom
I asked where home was, but, "I don't know"
SIGN Mommy's is long, too
[07:17] Chrom
I asked her name too, but, "I don't know"
SIGN Elephant, elephant
[07:21] Chrom
Meow meow meow meow,
meow meow meow meow
SIGN Who in the world do you like best?
SIGN Well—
[07:27] Denta
A forced shutdown! Too bad!
[07:32] Denta
First Climb Stage failed!
SIGN That scared me!
[07:45] Neon
That sucked.
[07:47] Chrom
This is... It seems we were
sent back to the entrance.
[07:51] Kei
I guess that wasn't good enough.
[07:54] Kei
What did we do wrong, though?
[07:56] Chrom
No idea. We sung in perfect pitch and
danced according to our programming.
[08:01] Climber A
There are Climbers at the top level!
[08:03] Female Viewer
Hurry, hurry!
[08:05] Kite
We're at the top of Babel?
[08:07] Kite
We'll take you to even greater heights.
SIGN Light
SIGN Kite
SIGN Night
[08:10] Kite
Come with us!
[08:12] Climber C
STAND-ALONE is on stage!
[08:13] Female Viewer
Kite!
[08:47] Kei
So they were top-level Climbers, huh?
[08:50] Neon
They got a ton of "Excellent" votes.
[08:53] Chrom
The crowd noise exceeded 120 decibels.
[08:56] Chrom
That's essentially as loud as thunder.
SIGN What makes them so different?
[09:04] Chrom
Whoa, there.
[09:05] Kei
What's up?
[09:06] Chrom
Well, something fell from above.
[09:08] Kei
Above?
[09:13] Neon
A human?
[09:15] Chrom
Did that person drop this?
SIGN Kei!
[09:21] Kei
I'm on it!
SIGN Hey, kid, you okay?
[09:28] Chrom
It might be heat stroke.
[09:30] Kei
Let's get him somewhere cooler!
SIGN Technoroid
[09:35] (Flashback) Esora
Dad?
SIGN Ah! Are you awake?
[09:49] Esora
Where am I?
[09:51] Kei
A nearby park.
[09:53] Chrom
You passed out on the footbridge.
[09:55] Chrom
It must have been the heat.
[09:58] Neon
Don't you have a heat-resistant cape?
[10:00] Kei
It's risky to go out during
the daytime dressed like that.
[10:04] Esora
A-And who are you all?
SIGN Androids that were just passing by.
[10:07] Esora
Huh? Androids?
[10:10] Chrom
Yes. That's why we can do
things outside during the day.
[10:14] Esora
Oh, I see.
[10:18] Esora
Thank you very much for saving me.
[10:20] Esora
I'm Esora. Esora Shibaura.
SIGN My name is Cobalt.
[10:25] Chrom
I am Chrom.
[10:26] Neon
Neon.
[10:27] Kei
I'm Kei.
SIGN Oh, that's right.
SIGN I think you dropped this.
[10:35] Esora
I threw that thing away.
SIGN Huh?
[10:38] Esora
Um,
[10:39] Esora
Androids can't share someone's
secrets with other people...
[10:44] Esora
They're equipped with
privacy protection, right?
[10:47] Chrom
Yes, that's right.
[10:50] Esora
Can I tell you something, then?
[10:55] Esora
Today was my father's funeral.
[10:59] Esora
Actually, I'm adopted,
so I'm not really his son.
[11:04] Esora
My real parents died when I was a baby.
[11:08] Esora
My father was their friend.
He was single, but he took me in.
[11:15] Esora
I'm grateful to my father,
but he was so busy with work...
[11:21] Esora
I was always left by myself.
[11:28] (Flashback) Esora (10 yr)
Dad, where are you going?
[11:30] (Flashback) Hakushu
I'm going to the lab.
[11:32] (Flashback) Esora
U-Um, what about dinner?
[11:34] (Flashback) Hakushu
I don't need any.
[11:40] Esora
Father's health declined,
and then one day he collapsed.
[11:46] Esora
I eventually went to see him,
but by then, he was already...
[11:53] Esora
He died before we'd made
any memories together.
[11:57] Esora
The only thing he left
behind was this letter.
[12:04] Esora
But... it's not even addressed to me.
[12:10] Esora
Even though he was busy with work
and couldn't talk to me,
[12:16] Esora
I... I still wish he'd at least...
[12:22] Esora
Dad didn't want me in his world, after all.
SIGN Hey, can I take a look at that letter?
SIGN Hmm.
SIGN Oh, hey, what does this say?
[12:42] Esora
Huh? That's weird.
[12:45] Esora
It might be broken.
SIGN Maybe it'll work if I hit it.
[12:49] Chrom & Kei
Ah!
[12:50] Neon
Idiot! Stop it, Cobalt!
SIGN Look, something came out!
[12:56] Neon
A video?
[12:57] Kei
What's it showing?
[12:58] Esora
I don't know. I've never seen this before.
SIGN This kid looks like you, Esora.
[13:04] Esora
Huh? Me?
[13:06] Neon
Definitely. Do you remember any of this?
[13:10] Esora
I don't know.
[13:11] Esora
It looks like a normal family video.
SIGN Family...
[13:19] Esora
I still don't remember anything.
SIGN Send me an operation request!
[13:22] Esora
Huh?
SIGN Chrom said that humans can forget their memories.
SIGN But if they do the same thing over again, sometimes they can remember.
[13:31] Esora
Um...
SIGN This might be an important family memory,
SIGN so you should try to go to the place in the video!
[13:40] Kei
He's reacting to the word "family" again.
SIGN Send me an operation request! Let's go there together!
[13:43] Neon
His parameters are running wild.
[13:43] Esora
Huh? Um, hold on a minute...
SIGN Search for the memorable place shown in the letter
[13:49] Esora
Does that work?
SIGN Yeah!
SIGN Okay, let's all go looking for the place from Esora's memories!
[13:55] Kei
You say "go," but...
[13:57] Neon
We don't have any idea where it is.
[14:00] Chrom
Let's start with a close inspection
of the video footage.
SIGN Well?
[14:10] Esora
It might be a park or something.
[14:14] Esora
There's a lot of greenery
and there's a big clock tower, too.
[14:17] Chrom
That seems highly likely.
[14:20] Chrom
Well then, let's search the parks
that were in your vicinity.
SIGN That's our Chrom! We can count on you!
SIGN All right then, let's go!
SIGN Sunflower Park
SIGN Next one!
SIGN Next one!
SIGN Next one!
[14:48] Kei
We still haven't found it.
[14:50] Chrom
We've been to all of the parks
within range that have a clock tower.
[14:56] Neon
Getting hot?
[14:57] Esora
I'm okay.
[14:58] Neon
Hey, what do humans do for Body cooling?
[15:02] Esora
Cooling? Let's see...
[15:05] Esora
Some people take baths in cold water.
[15:08] Esora
And there's stuff like
soft serve ice cream.
[15:10] Neon
Ice cream?
[15:12] Esora
Oh, that's right.
[15:13] Esora
You guys can just recharge
instead of eating, right?
[15:17] Kei
I'm starting to run low.
[15:18] Chrom
We can withstand the heat,
[15:20] Chrom
but cooling our Bodies still
consumes a lot of energy.
[15:23] Neon
Guys, should we all take a cold bath?
SIGN Water...
SIGN Oh!
[15:31] others
Huh?
SIGN Park Map
SIGN That video was from when Esora was still little.
SIGN I figured the park might be underwater now,
SIGN so I tried searching for parks that have been flooded.
[15:50] Esora
Ice cream...
[15:51] Neon
Huh?
[15:52] Esora
That day was so hot,
[15:55] Esora
I asked Dad to buy me some ice cream.
[16:01] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
Here you go.
[16:02] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
Wow!
[16:04] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
Hold on tight, okay?
[16:05] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
Okay!
[16:07] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
Ah... Esora!
[16:10] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
Dad, hurry, hurry!
[16:13] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
Esora!
[16:15] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
Ouch, ouch!
[16:16] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
Esora, are you all right?
[16:20] (Flashback) Esora (5 yr)
I-I'm sorry! The ice cream you bought for me...
[16:27] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
That's okay. Come here.
[16:31] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
I'm glad you didn't get hurt,
[16:34] (Flashback) Hakushu (55 yr)
since you're a dear part
of my family, Esora.
[16:42] Esora
That's right. I...
[16:45] Esora
We really were a family.
[16:49] Esora
Dad...
[16:59] Chrom
That melody...
[17:01] Neon
I know it.
[17:03] Kei
But from where?
[17:32] Esora
Thank you very much.
[17:34] Esora
Thanks to you guys, I think
I know my father a little better.
[17:39] Esora
All of you are really...
SIGN Bye-bye!
[17:57] Neon
Esora was crying.
SIGN But he was smiling, too.
[18:01] Chrom
Humans apparently have many kinds of tears.
[18:05] Kei
By the way, what was that song just now?
[18:08] Neon
I don't know.
[18:09] Chrom
We were all singing it together.
SIGN Four people singing one song...?
SIGN Guys!
[18:18] Chrom; Neon; Kei
Huh?
SIGN Let's go to Babel one more time!
[18:20] Kei
What now, all of a sudden?
SIGN Let's sing that song together!
[18:24] Chrom
I see. We can all sing one song together.
[18:28] Neon
Just like the top Climbers.
[18:30] Kei
You know, that just might work.
SIGN Let's go!
SIGN To Babel!
[20:10] Denta
Babel first Climber Stage, cleared!
[20:14] Denta
Next time, you'll move up a level!
SIGN Yeah!
[20:19] Night
Wow.
[20:20] Night
Looks like we have some...
[20:22] Light
...interesting newcomers.
SIGN We did it! We did it!
[21:59] Neon
Cobalt, keep it down.
SIGN But we actually cleared a stage!
[22:04] Kei
I didn't realize the reward
would be that small, though.
[22:07] Kei
It won't make a dent in the electricity bill.
[22:09] Chrom
If we can beat the next stage,
we can pay more—
SIGN What's wrong?
[22:14] Kei
Over there. There's someone on the ground.
SIGN Huh?
[22:20] Kei
Hey, are you okay?
[22:23] Chrom
I can detect alcohol on his breath.
[22:26] Neon
He's just a drunk.
SIGN Mister! You can't sleep here!
[22:31] Mister
No problem.
[22:34] Kei
This isn't good.
[22:35] Chrom
What should we do?
[22:37] Ritz #9A
Mister? Mister, where are you?
[22:41] Ritz #9B
Mister?
[22:42] Another Ritz?
Mister?
[22:44] Ritz #9B
Mister, hold on tight.
[22:46] Mister
What the hell you doin'?
[22:48] Ritz #9A
Thank you for your cooperation.
[22:48] Mister
I'm not drunk enough to need your help!
[22:51] Mister
You talking steel drum!
[22:53] Chrom
He must be from the factory.
[22:55] Neon
They must have it really rough.
SIGN At least we were able to do a good deed.
SIGN Okay, should we head back home?
[23:02] Neon
Cobalt...
[23:04] Kei
That hat...
SIGN Ah!
[23:08] Kei
Is anyone here?
SIGN Please excuse us.
[23:12] Neon
Is it okay for us to sneak in?
[23:14] Chrom
Well, we didn't really have a choice.
SIGN Authorized Personnel Only
SIGN Safety First
SIGN Safety First
SIGN That guy is probably looking for his hat right now.
[23:21] Kei
If we get caught, we'll
just have to explain.
[23:27] Kei
What was that?
[23:28] Neon
Something fell.
[23:34] Kei
Did it fall... in there?
[23:37] Neon
But from where?
SIGN Isn't that the robot from before?

Accident detected. Accident detected.
[00:26] Announcer
Police and emergency vehicles
will be dispatched immediately.
[00:33] Bora
Late last night,
at a robot disposal facility,
[00:36] Bora
a manager fell to his death into a blast
furnace, followed by a work robot.
[00:41] Bora
The facility is old and has no surveillance
camera footage, so the cause is unknown.
[00:45] Bora
Currently, we are investigating it
as both an accident and a crime.
SIGN Bora
[00:49] Bora
There are four central persons of interest.
[00:51] Bora
Or rather, subjects of interest.
[00:53] Bora
We have determined
that they are all Androids.
[00:56] Takara
These are Androids?
[00:58] Bora
Compared to normal Androids, these four
have no unusual physical characteristics.
[01:03] Bora
Reports said that they were hard
to differentiate at first.
[01:06] Takara
Fine, I get it.
[01:08] Takara
Geez, a human and a robot
falling in together...
SIGN Robot Inclusionists Demand Revisions to Constitution
Exclusionists Refuse, Leading to Demonstrations
[01:12] Takara
I bet this'll stir up trouble
[01:13] Takara
between the inclusionist
and exclusionist factions again.
[01:16] Takara
Okay. I'll leave the Android investigation
in your hands, Lieutenant Bora.
SIGN Lieutenant Bora
SIGN Investigate the four Androids who are the primary
persons of interest in the blast furnace incident
[01:21] Takara
I brought you in to help
with our staffing problems.
[01:25] Takara
You'll make yourself useful, won't you,
[01:27] Takara
my test-run Android friend?
SIGN Technoroid
SIGN Then all of a sudden, I heard this voice go, "Aah!"
SIGN And then something fell from above and whizzed right past me.
[03:08] Kei
After that, the work robot fell...
[03:11] Chrom
...and disappeared in the blast furnace.
[03:13] Chrom
As for anything beyond that...
[03:15] Neon
...I don't know.
[03:17] Bora
Even after checking against data
from the other work robots,
[03:20] Bora
there's a high probability the witnesses
were simply there by chance.
SIGN Hey, aren't there any other people here?
[03:23] Kei
I don't know.
[03:24] Bora
However,
[03:26] Bora
their registered owner names are corrupted,
SIGN How much longer will we be here?
[03:28] Chrom
It sure is taking longer than I thought.
[03:29] Bora
and that is suspicious.
[03:30] Kei
We gave them all our data.
Isn't that enough?
[03:30] Bora
But since that field isn't blank, abandoned
device repossession can't apply here.
[03:34] Neon
I wanna go home.
[03:36] Announcement
Three minutes remain until
the time limit is reached.
SIGN Since we're disconnected from the network,
we don't even know what time it is.
[03:40] Announcement
It is prohibited to hold robots, Androids,
or persons of interest for observation
[03:40] Chrom
By my estimation, it's around 8 AM.
[03:43] Kei
That means...
[03:43] Announcement
in excess of 12 hours without charges.
[03:44] Neon
It's been 12 hours?
[03:46] Bora
Understood.
[03:48] Bora
Release the witnesses.
[03:49] Bora
I will begin the follow-up investigation,
[03:52] Bora
and do background checks
on these four units.
SIGN We can finally leave!
[03:58] Neon
It's already so bright.
[03:59] Kei
I wouldn't have thought it would take
all night to take our statements.
[04:03] Chrom
It took some time to cross-check everything
with data from the other work robots.
SIGN Oh! It's Esola!
[04:10] Esola
Guys!
SIGN Hiya!
[04:13] Chrom
So we meet again.
[04:14] Esola
Why are you here?
[04:16] Bora
Beginning investigation.
[04:18] Bora
Following subjects.
[04:21] Esola
Oh, so that's what happened...
[04:23] Esola
That must be why I was
called here this morning.
[04:26] Kei
I bet it's because we talked about
how we met you yesterday.
[04:29] Chrom
I'm sorry we got you caught up in this.
[04:32] Esola
Don't worry about it.
[04:33] Esola
You all helped me out so much.
[04:36] Esola
By the way, I didn't know Androids
could become Climbers at Babel, too.
[04:41] Esola
I wish I could see you on the Climb Stage.
SIGN Then you should come watch!
[04:45] Esola
Come? You mean...
SIGN To Babel!
[04:48] Neon
Right now?
SIGN Yeah, I want to hurry and clear the next Stage!
[04:52] Esola
But...
SIGN Come on! Hurry!
[04:53] Esola
Wha— Wait a—
SIGN Oopsie!
[04:59] Kei
It popped off again.
[05:00] Esola
A-Are you okay?
SIGN I'm fine!
SIGN I'll just put it back on.
SIGN There we go.
SIGN Huh? Why?
[05:13] Esola
Um, would you mind if I took a look at it?
SIGN You?
[05:24] Esola
How does that feel?
SIGN Whoa!
SIGN Amazing, Esola!
[05:30] Esola
Actually, I study robot
engineering at college.
[05:34] Esola
That was Dad's job too, so I thought
it would bring us closer.
[05:37] Kei
You got into college that young?
[05:39] Chrom
How old are you, Esola?
[05:41] Esola
I'm 13. I skipped ahead.
[05:44] Neon
Wow!
[05:45] Esola
I only made basic repairs,
[05:47] Esola
so you still have to get
a proper maintenance check later.
SIGN Guys, you should all let Esola check you out!
SIGN I feel way better now!
[05:55] Neon
Cobalt...
[05:57] Chrom
Absolutely not.
[05:58] Chrom
Esola has to be getting home.
[06:00] Esola
Um...
[06:01] Esola
If it's okay with you guys, I don't mind.
[06:05] Esola
I want to repay the favor, anyway.
[06:07] Kei
You're a real good kid.
[06:09] Neon
Is it okay?
[06:10] Esola
Sure! If you'll let me.
[06:12] Chrom
Thank you very much.
[06:14] Chrom
Well then, seeing as it's nearly noon,
shall we go somewhere else?
[06:22] Esola
Um, haven't you all been
undergoing regular maintenance?
[06:26] Chrom
Maintenance costs money.
[06:29] Chrom
Right now our priority is making
payments on our home electrical bills.
SIGN That's why we went to Babel to became Climbers.
[06:37] Neon
Gotta earn that prize money.
[06:39] Esola
Wait, then who's your owner?
[06:43] Neon
I can hear something.
[06:44] Esola
Music?
[06:46] Kei
Over there?
SIGN Wow!
[07:10] Nobel
What you have just witnessed
[07:12] Nobel
is the Dance of Victory,
made to conquer all of Babel.
[07:15] Chrom
Conquer all of Babel?
SIGN Hey, man. Do you know a lot about Babel?
[07:22] Nobel
Entertainment tower Babel.
[07:24] Nobel
Its large stage is divided into five levels.
[07:28] Nobel
If your performance gains recognition,
you climb a Stage and win a prize.
[07:33] Nobel
The prize money increases with each level,
[07:35] Nobel
and if you clear the fifth and highest Stage,
[07:39] Nobel
you get a reward so big
it'll make your head spin.
[07:42] Nobel
Also, clearing the levels at Babel
becomes more difficult with each one.
[07:47] Nobel
But if you go on with this dance of mine,
victory will be yours, no doubt!
[07:52] Kei
You sure seem confident.
[07:54] Kei
Do you have experience
climbing Babel yourself?
[07:57] Nobel
I'm just a choreographer.
[07:59] Nobel
My job is to sell routines to Climbers
who then take them up Babel.
[08:04] Nobel
But to be honest,
[08:06] Nobel
I may or may not have
choreographed certain top Climbers.
SIGN Top Climbers?
[08:12] Chrom
You can't mean...
[08:15] Nobel
So, what do you think?
[08:16] Nobel
Do you guys want to take my Dance
of Victory to the top of Babel?
SIGN Yeah, the Dance of Victory!
SIGN Guys, let's ask him!
[08:25] Neon
But... it's expensive, isn't it?
[08:27] Kei
We don't have any money.
[08:29] Nobel
I don't need any money.
[08:31] Esola
Huh? It's free?
SIGN Really?!
[08:33] Chrom
Wait a minute.
[08:35] Chrom
Nothing in life is free.
[08:37] Chrom
Nine out of ten times, these offers
are scams. They said so on TV.
[08:41] Neon
Very fishy.
[08:42] Takara
Okay, okay. Then how about this?
[08:46] Nobel
If you clear a Stage on Babel,
[08:48] Nobel
then you give me part of the
reward money as compensation.
[08:53] Chrom
In that case, this may work out.
SIGN All right! It's decided!
SIGN Esola, could you send us an operation request?
[09:00] Esola
Oh, sure.
[09:02] Nobel
Oh, and would you tell
me your Climb Name?
[09:06] Neon
Climb Name?
[09:08] Chrom
The team name for performers
who climb Babel.
[09:11] Kei
We haven't really thought about that.
[09:15] Esola
What's wrong?
SIGN I'm almost out of battery.
[09:18] Neon
We've gotta go back and charge.
[09:20] Chrom
Let's go home for today.
SIGN Oh, well.
SIGN Under Renovation
SIGN Thank you for
your cooperation.
SIGN See ya later, mister choreographer. We'll be back tomorrow!
[09:35] Esola
May I come in?
SIGN Of course! Come in, come in!
[09:40] Esola
Okay then, please excuse me.
[09:43] Neon
Excuse... what?
[09:45] Esola
Um, it's a kind of greeting you
say when entering a building.
[09:49] Neon
Huh...
SIGN Me too, then. Please excuse me—
[09:52] Esola
Ah, but when you go into your
own house, you say, "I'm home."
SIGN Is that right?
[09:57] Chrom
I was aware of that,
but I have never actually used it.
SIGN Okay, one more time.
SIGN I'm home!
[10:03] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[10:06] Eliza
My, how unusual.
[10:08] Eliza
You seem to be a visitor.
[10:10] Eliza
Hello. I am personal AI assistant Eliza.
[10:14] Esola
H-Hello. My name is Esola Shibaura.
[10:18] Eliza
Esola Shibaura...
[10:25] Eliza
I have registered the new information.
SIGN Eliza, and Chrom, and Kei, and Neon, and me.
SIGN We're the family that lives here.
SIGN Oh, and that's Nora.
[10:36] Chrom
A stray cat that comes in from time to time.
[10:38] Esola
Does that mean their owner is...
[10:41] Eliza
What's this?
[10:43] Eliza
Cobalt's damage level appears
to have been reduced slightly.
[10:46] Eliza
Did you get repairs?
SIGN Esola fixed me up!
[10:50] Eliza
You did?
[10:51] Esola
Um...
[10:52] Esola
We were outside, so
I could only do basic repairs,
[10:57] Esola
but if you don't mind, would you let me
perform full maintenance on you all?
SIGN Huh?
[11:01] Chrom
But we are unable to
compensate you for the labor.
[11:05] Esola
You don't need to pay me.
[11:07] Esola
I'm not a professional engineer, anyway.
SIGN Are you sure?
[11:11] Esola
Yeah!
[11:12] Esola
It's strange to see a house of just Androids
living together in a place like this,
[11:18] Esola
but it's also kind of wonderful.
[11:24] Esola
I've never seen code like this before.
[11:29] Neon
That sound...
SIGN Is that what you call a keyboard?
[11:33] Esola
Ah, yes.
[11:35] Esola
It's the original one that my father used.
[11:38] Esola
I learned it by copying him.
It is a little unusual, though.
[11:44] Chrom
It sounds like music.
[11:46] Kei
Definitely.
[11:51] Bora
Two hours after returning.
Currently nothing to report.
[11:56] Girl
Mama!
[11:57] Bora
What has happened?
[11:58] Girl
I don't know where home is!
[12:02] Bora
New case confirmed.
[12:03] Bora
Adjusting duty priorities.
[12:06] Bora
I will search for your residence.
SIGN Esola, are you going home already?
[12:12] Chrom
Will you be all right on your own?
[12:14] Kei
Should we come along?
[12:15] Esola
I'm fine! You all should keep charging.
[12:20] Esola
Also, is it all right if I start watching
your dance practice tomorrow?
[12:24] Kei
Fine with me.
[12:26] Neon
Why, though?
[12:27] Esola
I think it's best if I keep an eye on you
while I'm performing maintenance.
SIGN So we get to see you again tomorrow, Esola?
[12:38] Esola
Yes! I'll look forward to it!
[12:42] Esola
I'm home!
[12:45] Esola
Caron, thanks for watching the house.
[12:47] Esola
A lot of really good things happened today.
[12:57] Esola
Has home... always been this quiet?
SIGN Technoroid
[13:11] Nobel
I'm glad you all made it.
[13:13] Nobel
Let's go ahead and start
our Babel victory lesson.
SIGN We can do it!
[13:17] Kei
We're fully charged today, too.
[13:19] Chrom
We are very good at recording data..
[13:21] Neon
We'll work hard.
[13:24] Nobel
Lots of energy, I see.
[13:25] Nobel
Let's use that momentum to climb up Babel!
[13:30] Nobel
Five, six, seven, eight.
[13:32] Nobel
One, two, three, four,
[13:33] Nobel
five, six, seven, eight.
SIGN Oh, no!
SIGN It came off again.
[13:48] Esola
I'm so sorry! Please let me take a look.
[13:51] Esola
My adjustments might have been a bit off.
[13:54] Esola
A little more here...
[14:20] Kei
Our Bodies have been in good shape recently.
[14:22] Chrom
All thanks to Esola.
[14:24] Esola
I'm glad I can be of help.
SIGN We're gonna be unbeatable now!
[14:28] Neon
Unbeatable...
[14:30] Esola
With a few more minor adjustments,
your maintenance will be complete.
[14:34] Esola
Then I think you'll be all right
without me around.
SIGN Huh?
[14:38] Esola
We don't have much time left together,
but I look forward to spending it with you.
[14:49] Nobel
You've almost got it down now.
[14:52] Nobel
Today, why don't you show me
from start to finish?
SIGN Sure.
[14:56] Chrom
Understood.
[14:58] Nobel
Hmm?
[15:09] Nobel
And end on the pose!
[15:14] Nobel
What's wrong today, guys?
[15:15] Nobel
The more you dance, the worse you get.
[15:18] Neon
I don't get it.
[15:19] Kei
How would we know?
[15:21] Chrom
It seems our control systems
are improperly calibrated.
[15:24] Esola
I'll look at it right away.
SIGN Esola...
[15:27] Esola
Once I finish the final maintenance,
[15:29] Esola
maybe I can do a boot test
to find the cause.
SIGN Final...
[15:33] Esola
Yes.
[15:34] Esola
Last time, your damage level
was under three percent,
[15:37] Esola
so I think this will be the las—
SIGN I won't do it!
[15:40] Esola
Huh? Cobalt?
[15:44] Kei
Hey!
[15:45] Neon
Cobalt!
[15:47] Chrom
I apologize. We'll be right back.
[15:51] Nobel
So that's how it is. How unexpected.
[15:55] Esola
Huh?
[15:56] Nobel
Aren't you going after them?
[15:58] Esola
Ah...
[16:02] Nobel
Something has sprung up
inside your Android friends.
[16:06] Nobel
What do you think it is?
[16:10] Neon
Hey, Cobalt!
[16:11] Chrom
Please wait.
[16:13] Kei
What the heck's your problem?
SIGN I don't know.
[16:17] Neon
You don't know?
SIGN I don't know! But...
SIGN I don't want Esola's final maintenance.
[16:27] Kei
I feel the same.
SIGN Huh?
[16:30] Neon
Me, too.
[16:31] Chrom
It appears I was not
the only one thinking that.
SIGN You guys...
SIGN If the lessons end, the maintenance ends too,
SIGN and we won't ever see Esola again.
SIGN When I realized that, my Body started to feel weak.
[16:49] Neon
Yeah.
[16:50] Kei
This is a first for me.
SIGN Guys, what should we do?
[16:57] Chrom
You know...
[16:59] Chrom
We do have one option.
[17:04] Esola
Cobalt!
[17:06] Esola
Please answer me!
[17:10] Esola
I wonder if his Body wasn't feeling right.
[17:13] Esola
And there's only a little work left.
[17:16] Esola
But...
[17:18] Esola
once I finish the maintenance, that's it.
[17:22] Esola
Those four and I won't...
[17:27] Esola
Cobalt?!
[17:30] Esola
Who are you?
[17:31] Bora
Special Investigations Android
[17:32] Bora
of the Metropolitan
Police Detective Unit,
[17:35] Bora
PD-0321 WG, Lieutenant Bora.
[17:39] Esola
A police Android?
[17:42] Bora
I would like to ask you about the four
Android units you were just with.
[17:47] Esola
Huh?
[17:48] Bora
Do you know about their owner?
[17:52] Esola
Owner?
[17:53] Bora
Those units have suspicious data
in their owner name registrations.
[17:58] Bora
If they were to be classified
as ownerless Androids,
[18:01] Bora
we would have no choice
but to confiscate them
[18:04] Bora
and immediately shut down their operations.
[18:07] Esola
What should I do?
[18:08] Bora
Elevated heart rate confirmed.
[18:11] Bora
Body temperature rising.
[18:12] Bora
Perspiration detected.
[18:14] Bora
It appears that you know something.
[18:18] Esola
I just...
[18:19] Bora
If you do have information,
your cooperation is requested.
[18:24] Esola
I... have to protect them.
[18:30] Bora
Your immediate cooperation is re—
[18:32] Esola
I just...
[18:34] Esola
want to protect them.
[18:37] Esola
I will protect the four of them myself!
[18:40] Bora
What?
SIGN Esola!
SIGN Esola!
SIGN Quit bullying Esola!
[18:46] Esola
Guys!
[18:47] Kei
Are you okay?
[18:49] Chrom
Aren't you...?
[18:50] Neon
He was at the police station before.
[18:53] Bora
It seems there's a connection between you all
beyond your chance meeting the other day.
[19:01] Bora
Data updated?
[19:05] Bora
Is this...?
[19:08] Kei
What happened?
[19:09] Chrom
He stopped moving.
[19:10] Neon
How weird.
[19:13] Esola
Um...
[19:14] Bora
Suspicions resolved.
[19:15] Bora
Returning to headquarters for reporting.
[19:17] Esola
Huh?
[19:19] Neon
What just happened?
[19:20] Kei
Who the heck was that, anyway?
SIGN Esola!
[19:25] Chrom
Are you okay?
[19:26] Esola
I-I'm all right. It was just a huge relief.
SIGN Esola, you know,
SIGN when I thought about your maintenance ending,
SIGN and how we wouldn't see you every day anymore,
SIGN I got a strange feeling right here.
[19:43] Neon
It suddenly felt tight.
[19:45] Kei
And the energy drained out of me.
[19:48] Chrom
I don't want the maintenance to end.
That's what I thought.
[19:53] Esola
You mean you'd get lonely and miss me?
SIGN Lonely?
[20:00] Esola
Me, too.
[20:01] Esola
When I thought about never seeing you again,
[20:03] Esola
I got lonely and felt this pain in my chest.
[20:07] Neon
Same here.
[20:08] Kei
Same with me.
SIGN So that's it.
SIGN We feel lonely if we're separated from you.
SIGN We'd be so lonely!
SIGN So we decided to ask you for something.
[20:29] Esola
Ask me?
SIGN Esola, even when our maintenance is finished,
SIGN we want you to stay with us!
SIGN Come and live with us!
[22:17] Denta
Second Climb Stage of Babel, cleared!
[22:21] Denta
Next time, you go up another level!
[22:27] Esola
Guys!
SIGN Esola!
[22:30] Kei
How was our performance?
[22:32] Esola
It was so cool!
[22:34] Esola
I was so moved, it took my breath away!
[22:38] Esola
Oh!
[22:40] Kei
What's wrong?
[22:42] Esola
Knocks... Your names...
[22:43] Esola
How about KNoCC for a Climb Name?
[22:47] Esola
Because your performance is so exciting,
[22:49] Esola
it feels like it's knocking
on the viewers' hearts!
[22:51] Esola
You know?
[22:53] Esola
Ah, sorry, that was weird, huh?
SIGN That's awesome, Esola!
[22:59] Esola
Huh?
[23:00] Kei
Has a great ring to it.
[23:02] Neon
It's cool.
[23:03] Chrom
What a lovely Climb Name. Thank you so much!
[23:07] Esola
Sure!
[23:10] Nobel
The alteration wasn't
caused by the Climb Stage.
[23:14] Nobel
I thought so.
[23:17] Takara
Huh...
[23:18] Takara
I guess Androids get lost in thought, too.
[23:21] Takara
Something on your mind?
[23:23] Bora
No.
[23:25] Bora
I will continue my investigation
into the blast furnace incident.
[23:29] Esola
E-Excuse me, please!
[23:32] Neon
Bzzt! Wrong!
[23:33] Esola
Huh?
[23:34] Chrom
Esola.
[23:35] Kei
That's the wrong one.
SIGN Starting today, it's "I'm home!" Okay?
[23:43] Esola
I'm home!
[23:45] KNoCC
Welcome home, Esola!

[00:01] Man in 20s
Oh yeah, that blast furnace incident.
[00:03] Man in 20s
I heard a manager fell in.
[00:05] Woman in 20s
Was it really an accident, though?
[00:07] Woman in 20s
I heard the robot did it as revenge
against a violent manager.
[00:11] Man in 20s
What? You mean it went berserk?
That's bad news.
[00:15] Man in 20s
Robots really are no good, after all.
[00:24] Esola
Wh-What?
[00:26] Kei
You have to eat so many times each day.
[00:29] Kei
Must be tough to be human.
[00:31] Chrom
It certainly does appear inefficient,
[00:33] Chrom
but apparently for humans,
feeding does more than just sustain life.
[00:37] Chrom
It also plays a significant
role as entertainment.
[00:40] Neon
You mean it's like a hobby?
SIGN Then you wanna eat more?
SIGN I'll make all sorts of stuff for you, Esola!
[00:46] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[00:49] Eliza
Do you intend to cause a commotion
each and every time Esola has a meal?
SIGN But it's Esola!
SIGN Esola lives with us now!
[01:00] Kei
Caron does, too.
[01:01] Esola
Pretty lively here, huh, Caron?
[01:05] Esola
The police station?
SIGN Technoroid
[02:53] Esola
Is everything okay, guys?
SIGN What do you mean?
[02:57] Chrom
We were only in sleep mode.
[02:59] Neon
So boring.
[03:01] Bora
I'm grateful for your cooperation.
[03:03] Esola
It's fine.
[03:05] Esola
This isn't the police station, though.
[03:07] Esola
Why'd we have to come here?
[03:09] Bora
This is a police-affiliated
research facility.
[03:13] Bora
It provides research staff
[03:14] Bora
and cutting-edge AI research
technology for special investigations.
[03:19] Esola
Doesn't the police station already have
the data about the blast furnace incident?
[03:23] Bora
I am not obliged to answer that.
SIGN Esola, let's go home.
[03:27] Esola
Oh, yeah.
SIGN When we get back, I'll cook you something else!
[03:33] Esola
But I'm still full.
[03:35] Researcher
We are ready to begin analysis
of the four units' data.
[03:35] Esola
I am a little thirsty, though.
[03:39] Bora
In that case, please begin.
[03:43] Esola
Hmm.
[03:45] Neon
Esola?
[03:46] Esola
Huh?
[03:47] Neon
What's wrong?
[03:48] Esola
Ah, just something on my mind.
SIGN Oh!
SIGN Sing, dance, and see what awaits beyond those levels. Is it freedom? Glory?
SIGN Esteemed Climbers, now is the time to assemble at Babel, the tower of wisdom!
SIGN STAND-ALONE is here, too!
[03:54] Kei
The same guys from before?
[03:56] Esola
I see them a lot lately.
[03:58] Esola
They're really famous Climbers, right?
[04:01] Chrom
STAND-ALONE are the top Climbers.
[04:04] Chrom
They're so popular, they also
work as poster boys
[04:06] Chrom
for the World Government,
which manages Babel.
[04:09] Chrom
The leader of STAND-ALONE is a reserved
and dignified perfectionist, Kite Hitotsubashi.
[04:16] Chrom
He has many passionate fans who,
[04:17] Chrom
enchanted by his distinguished
aura and powerful dance,
[04:21] Chrom
follow him to every performance.
[04:24] Esola
Huh.
[04:25] Kei
You sure know a lot about him.
[04:27] Chrom
I read about him in a free
magazine the other day.
SIGN Hey, we should do something like this, too!
[04:33] Chrom
Something like what?
SIGN We should get a cool picture of KNoCC like this!
[04:38] Kei
What do we need that for?
[04:40] Neon
That person's acting strange.
SIGN What's wrong?
SIGN Miss, are you feeling sick?
[04:53] Chrom
You look very pale.
[04:55] Nagi
Thank you for asking.
[04:57] Esola
Are you all right?
[04:58] Nagi
Yes, I just need to rest.
[05:02] Nagi
I'm a patient at the hospital downstairs.
[05:05] Esola
Okay, let us help you to your room.
[05:08] Kite
Nagi!
[05:10] Kite
Nagi, are you okay?
[05:12] Nagi
Big Brother...
[05:14] Kite
You came up here again?
SIGN Wait, this is...
SIGN Kite from STAND-ALONE?!
[05:27] Nagi
I'm sorry for causing so much trouble.
[05:31] Esola
I'm glad it was nothing serious.
[05:37] Kite
Don't overdo it.
[05:39] Chrom
The magazine said that he was very reserved,
but it seems that data had inaccuracies.
[05:44] Neon
A gap.
[05:45] Esola
Q-Quiet, guys.
[05:47] Kite
You all are Climbers at Babel too, right?
SIGN You know about us?
[05:52] Kite
Yeah.
[05:53] Kite
I saw that there were some
interesting newcomers.
[05:57] Kite
What's your Climb Name?
SIGN KNoCC! Esola chose it for us.
[06:03] Kite
I'll remember that.
[06:04] Nagi
You're the first Climbers I've met
outside my brother's group.
SIGN Does that mean you're interested in Babel?
SIGN Have you ever been?
[06:12] Nagi
No, I haven't.
[06:14] Neon
But you were staring
at Babel earlier, right?
[06:16] Nagi
Ah...
SIGN Babel is wild!
SIGN You get money when you win!
[06:24] Chrom
Yes. It lets us pay our electricity bill.
[06:26] Nagi
Electricity bill?
[06:28] Neon
We're still behind in our payments.
[06:31] Kei
We gotta pay those off soon.
SIGN Yeah, if we aren't able to charge, we'll be forced into shutdown!
[06:38] Kite
Forced shutdown?
[06:40] Chrom
Yes, because we are Androids.
[06:44] Neon
Esola is human, though.
[06:50] Nagi
Kite... Ah!
SIGN Got it.
SIGN Safe!
SIGN Here.
[07:05] Kite
Don't touch her.
[07:07] Kite
We want nothing to do with you robots.
[07:11] Kite
Get out of here.
SIGN Kite?
[07:15] Kite
Get out!
SIGN Kite sure was mad.
[07:22] Chrom
He said he wants nothing to do with robots.
[07:25] Neon
Why's that?
[07:26] Esola
Some people are just like that.
[07:29] Esola
It's pretty sad, though.
[07:32] Nagi
Wait!
[07:34] Esola
Nagi?
SIGN What's wrong?
[07:37] Nagi
I... have something... I want to tell you.
[07:44] Kite
Why the hell are Androids...
[07:46] Kiriya
Please excuse me.
[07:48] Kiriya
Would you happen to be
Kite from STAND-ALONE?
[07:51] Kite
Who's asking?
[07:52] Kiriya
Pleased to meet you.
[07:54] Kiriya
My name is Kiriya Madarame.
[07:57] Kiriya
I'm a member of an activist organization
[07:59] Kiriya
that works to protect the future
and dignity of the human race.
[08:08] Kite
What does the robot exclusionist
faction want with me?
[08:13] Nagi
I'm sorry about before.
[08:15] Nagi
I'm sure you could tell, but my
brother hates Androids.
[08:23] Nagi
A long time ago, we got
into a traffic accident.
[08:28] Nagi
A car driven by an Android
crashed into our car,
[08:33] Nagi
and our parents...
[08:36] (Flashback) Kite (8 yr)
Nagi, are you okay? Nagi?!
[08:39] (Flashback) Android Driver
First...
[08:41] (Flashback) Android Driver
Safety first...
[08:43] (Flashback) Android Driver
Ev-Every d-day, safety fir-fir—
[08:47] (Flashback) Android Driver
Com... for-fort... fort...
[08:50] Kiriya
After you lost your parents in the accident,
it seems you suffered tremendously.
[08:56] Kiriya
Your younger sister's medical
expenses are quite high.
[08:59] Kiriya
The reason you continue
performing as a top Climber
[09:02] Kiriya
is to support your sister, correct?
[09:04] Kite
There are medical bills to pay,
but I go on stage for my own reasons.
[09:09] Kite
Don't get the wrong idea.
[09:11] Kiriya
I apologize if that sounded insensitive.
[09:13] Kiriya
The last thing our organization wants is
to add to the suffering of people like you.
[09:21] Kiriya
I merely wanted to introduce myself today.
[09:25] Kiriya
I will contact you again at a later date.
[09:33] Nagi
I'm still in the hospital now
because of the accident's effects.
[09:37] Nagi
My brother's always taken care of me.
[09:42] Nagi
Of course, that's no excuse for him
to say such awful things to you.
[09:47] Nagi
I'm really very sorry.
[09:50] Nagi
It's just...
[09:51] Nagi
I wanted you to know he wouldn't
say things like that for no reason.
[09:56] Esola
You must really love your brother.
[10:00] Nagi
Yeah.
[10:05] Nagi
You know, I have a wish
I've always wanted to fulfill.
[10:08] Neon
A wish?
[10:10] Nagi
Someday, I want to go see
a real performance at Babel.
[10:15] Nagi
Directly, with my own eyes.
[10:18] Nagi
If I get well enough to do that, I won't
be a burden on my brother anymore.
[10:23] Nagi
He'll be able to stand freely
on the stage he loves so much.
[10:27] Nagi
That's why I dreamed of going someday.
SIGN Let's go, then! We'll take you with us!
[10:38] Nagi
I can't.
SIGN Huh?
[10:40] Nagi
I've been waiting forever,
[10:41] Nagi
but it's really difficult to find
all of the organ donors I need.
[10:46] Nagi
I can't leave the hospital until
I've had some transplants.
[10:52] Nagi
I don't think my wish will ever come true.
[10:57] Esola
Nagi...
[11:02] Nagi
I'm sorry. We only just met,
and I'm telling you all this.
[11:06] Nagi
You're all so easy to talk to!
[11:09] Kei
Are you okay with the fact
that we're Androids, Nagi?
[11:13] Nagi
I've been in the hospital
long enough to know
[11:17] Nagi
a lot of Androids and robots are good.
[11:22] Nagi
Good luck on your next Climb Stage!
SIGN Does that really mean Nagi can't go to Babel?
[11:33] Chrom
She did say that she can't
leave the hospital
[11:36] Chrom
without multiple transplants.
SIGN I know, I know, but I still wanna do something for her!
[11:42] Kei
If we did anything,
wouldn't Kite get upset?
SIGN I mean, yeah, but...
[11:48] Esola
I know you want to make
Nagi's wish come true.
SIGN Yeah, Esola!
[11:54] Kei
It's not like we're against that.
[11:57] Chrom
We have to find a way to get her out
of the hospital without straining her body.
SIGN Guys!
[12:05] Chrom
Hmm. There must be a good way...
SIGN I've got it!
SIGN If she can't go to Babel, Babel can come to her!
[12:17] All
Huh?
SIGN Technoroid
SIGN Cobalt
SIGN Recreate a Babel performance for Nagi
[12:21] Esola
I sent you an operation request.
SIGN Cobalt
SIGN Recreate a Babel performance for Nagi
SIGN Yeah! Let's get ready!
[12:27] Chrom
Certainly, if we put on
a performance in the hospital,
[12:30] Chrom
Nagi won't have to go outside.
[12:32] Esola
It's a great idea, Cobalt!
SIGN I know, right?
[12:35] Kei
Still, I'm surprised you were
able to find this room.
[12:38] Esola
They told me at the
information desk when I asked.
[12:41] Esola
They used to use it for conferences,
[12:44] Esola
but now it's basically a storage room,
so they said to go ahead.
[12:49] Neon
There is room for improvement.
[12:52] Kei
Might as well start cleaning.
SIGN By the way, what about the music?
[12:57] Neon
Maybe a new song?
[12:59] Chrom
Shall we search for something?
[13:01] Kei
Something different from before.
SIGN How about something that's like, "Bang! Boom!"?
[13:05] Esola
I'll go borrow some cleaning supplies.
[13:06] Chrom
That's too abstract...
[13:10] Esola
They're all so cool.
[13:13] Esola
I wish I could do something, too.
[13:17] Nobel
How about music?
[13:21] Nobel
Why don't you try writing
the music they're looking for?
[13:25] Esola
Um, and you are...?
[13:27] Nobel
Ah, I'm sorry.
[13:29] Nobel
I was watching you all before
and couldn't help myself.
[13:34] Nobel
No need to be on guard.
[13:37] Nobel
You could make the music for them.
Taking action is the important part.
[13:42] Esola
Huh?
[13:44] Nobel
And I'm sure you already know how to do it.
[13:54] Esola
Are you...?
[13:56] Esola
Huh?
SIGN Esola! Listen!
SIGN Neon keeps talking nonsense!
[14:05] Neon
First, we replace all of the wallpaper.
[14:08] Neon
Then we redesign the whole room.
SIGN See?
[14:11] Kei
Where are we gonna get the money for that?
SIGN Esola?
[14:14] Chrom
Besides, we don't have
permission for all that.
[14:14] Esola
I wonder if I can make it.
[14:18] Chrom
Make what?
[14:20] Neon
The wallpaper?
[14:21] Esola
The music.
[14:24] Kei
The music?
[14:26] Chrom
You, Esola?
[14:28] Esola
S-Sorry! It was just a dumb idea.
[14:31] Esola
There's no way, right? I've never
studied songwriting or anything.
[14:36] Esola
I was just trying to think
of a way to help you all.
SIGN That's great!
SIGN A song by you!
[14:43] Neon
That other time, you made
my circuits feel all fuzzy.
[14:46] Kei
That time? You mean during maintenance?
[14:49] Esola
Really?
[14:50] Chrom
Yes. Please write a song for us, Esola.
[14:59] Esola
Then I want to try.
[15:01] Esola
Let me give it a shot!
[15:05] Patient A
Hey, did you hear?
[15:08] Patient A
The Climb Group KNoCC
is putting on a show at the hospital!
[15:12] Nagi
That's what I heard.
[15:14] Patient A
You're going, right?
[15:15] Nagi
Um...
[15:16] Patient A
Let's go!
[15:17] Patient A
I know you really want to
see a Babel show, right?
[15:20] Patient A
And I know you secretly watch
STAND-ALONE's live broadcasts, too!
[15:24] Nagi
Shh! Don't say it so loud!
SIGN Is that what you're using to write the song?
[15:35] Esola
Yeah. I thought it might be
kind of like what I always do.
[15:41] Chrom
Performing maintenance, you mean?
[15:43] Esola
Yeah.
[15:43] Esola
I never imagined myself
writing music before this,
[15:48] Esola
but it's actually a whole lot
more fun than I thought.
[15:55] Neon
Next is the stage dressing.
[15:58] Neon
I don't want Esola's song to be wasted.
SIGN Mouse Transport
[16:03] Esola
I've been wondering, but is that fabric...
SIGN Ah! Those are our curtains!
[16:11] Neon
I took them all down.
[16:13] Neon
I'll hang them on the walls
behind the stage.
[16:15] Chrom
Neon's parameters are tuned
toward an artistic sense,
[16:18] Chrom
so he's very particular about aesthetics.
[16:21] Esola
So that's why he's working
this hard on the venue.
SIGN Nora?
SIGN What's this?
[16:32] Esola
Oh, that's right! I forgot about that!
SIGN Huh?
[16:34] Esola
We might be able to use that
for your performance.
SIGN This thing?
SIGN Special Performance
SIGN Now Open
SIGN Hi there, everyone! We're KNoCC!
SIGN Have fun today, okay?
SIGN Oh, Nagi!
SIGN Thanks for coming!
[17:10] Chrom
We hope you are all looking
forward to the music today.
[17:13] Kei
Our songwriter today was Esola!
[17:15] Audience
Esola?
[17:16] Audience
Who's that?
[17:17] Esola
Guys...
SIGN The five of us worked hard to bring you this show.
SIGN Let's get started!
[17:30] Nagi
Wow!
[17:32] Esola
At least this gives it
a Babel-like atmosphere.
[18:00] Audience
Huh? What's that?
SIGN All right, here we go!
[18:02] Patient A
It's just like a show at Babel!
[18:04] Nagi
This is...
[18:04] Esola
How is there video?
[19:17] Nagi
This is Babel...
[19:28] Kite
Nagi?
[19:30] Nagi
Big Brother...
[19:32] Nagi
Someday, I'll come see
a performance at Babel.
[19:37] Nagi
I'm sure of it.
[19:56] Nagi
That was really wonderful, everyone!
[19:59] Chrom
Thank you very much.
SIGN Make sure your wish comes true, Nagi!
[20:04] Nagi
Huh?
SIGN Just now, when I saw you in the audience,
SIGN I wanted you to see a real show in Babel so badly, I felt it right here!
[20:13] Kei
I think we caught some of your excitement.
[20:16] Chrom
Could this be what it means to "wish"?
[20:20] Neon
You have to go to Babel.
[20:24] Nagi
Everyone...
[20:26] Nagi
Yeah, I promise to get well
so I can go to Babel.
[20:30] Nagi
I want to watch my brother
perform in person, too.
[20:35] Kite
You bundle of bolts imitating people...
[20:38] Kite
I told you to stay away from us.
[20:41] Nagi
Kite! I had so much fun today!
[20:44] Kite
A real performance at Babel
isn't like that at all.
[20:48] Kite
The instant we Climbers step on stage,
[20:52] Kite
we devote our entire minds and souls
to swaying the audience's hearts.
[20:56] Kite
But you aren't capable of understanding that.
[21:00] Kite
And do you know why?
[21:02] Kite
Androids have no hearts.
SIGN Hearts?
[21:09] Kite
And you. You need to be more discerning
about who you give your music to.
[21:13] Kite
Don't waste the talent you've been given.
[21:18] Nagi
Big Brother, hold on...
[21:20] Nagi
I said, wait!
[21:22] Nagi
Thank you, everyone!
[21:25] Nagi
I'll see you on stage at Babel, okay?
[21:32] Nagi
Big Brother, you shouldn't say things li—
[21:34] Kite
It can't be possible.
[21:38] Kite
How could a performance by heartless
Androids move people's hearts?

[00:00] Androids
Whoa!
SIGN Ugh!
SIGN This is so weird.
SIGN No matter how many times we try, we still can't clear the third Stage.
[00:15] Chrom
Even with our new Climb Name, KNoCC,
we still aren't able to climb Babel.
[00:21] Kei
Why is this happening?
[00:23] Kei
Up to the second Stage,
everything was such a breeze!
[00:26] Neon
This just doesn't feel right.
[00:29] Esola
Guys, are you okay—
[00:31] Esola
Whoa! Kei, Neon, your heads are switched!
[00:36] Kei
Oh, no wonder. That explains
why I'm feeling so down.
[00:40] Neon
You're the worst.
SIGN After Esola went to all that trouble to fix us,
SIGN we're starting to break down again.
[00:51] Esola
It's because you move so much
during dance practice.
[00:55] Esola
It looks like your parts with bearings
and seals are starting to wear out.
[00:59] Kei
Can't you repair them?
[01:00] Esola
They're disposable parts, so we'll
just have to get new ones.
SIGN You mean it's going to cost money?
[01:07] Esola
Yeah. Stuff like that always costs money.
[01:11] Kei
We've got no choice, then.
We'll just spend the money.
SIGN Yeah!
SIGN Then let's retry the third Climb Stage with brand new parts!
[01:20] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[01:23] Eliza
You do not have the money for that.
SIGN Huh? Why not?
[01:27] Kei
What happened to the reward
from the second Stage?
[01:30] Kei
We should have gotten 1 million Jents.
[01:33] Chrom
We used it for the entry fee
for the third Stage.
[01:36] Chrom
Each attempt costs 100,000 Jents.
[01:40] Eliza
You also still have a remaining
balance due on your electricity bills.
[01:44] Eliza
Your current account balance is zero.
[01:47] Chrom
Adding in the replacement cost for
the parts we wore out in dance practice,
[01:52] Chrom
we're in the red.
SIGN What?!
SIGN But the whole reason we went to Babel was to pay our bills!
SIGN There's no point, then!
[02:00] Kei
No. If we clear the third Stage,
the reward is 5 million.
[02:05] Kei
We'd be out of the red with money to spare.
SIGN I guess you're right.
SIGN If we can just clear the third Stage, it'll solve everything.
[02:13] Neon
Question.
[02:14] Neon
So, how will we pay the entry fee
for the third Stage?
[02:22] Chrom
It's over, then.
SIGN It's impossible! What are we gonna do?!
[02:28] Chrom
Perhaps we should find work.
[02:30] Others
Work?

[02:45] Esola
Huh? Why not?
SIGN I am not a robot
[02:49] Esola
Why don't you just check the box anyway?
[02:53] Chrom
But that would be a false statement.
[02:55] Chrom
Androids are a type of robot, after all.
SIGN And we're prohibited from telling lies like that.

is attracting those with concerns
about the dangers of robots,
SIGN Answer us, WG!
[05:02] Newscaster
some of whom are pressuring

There are suspicions that the Ritz No. 9

Since then, they've been performing
at Babel under the Climb Name KNoCC.
[05:30] Takara
What about it?
[05:32] Takara
I thought we cleared them of suspicion.
[05:35] Bora
Their behavior exhibits puzzling traits
that are different from normal Androids.
[05:40] Bora
I believe they're operating
with decision-making criteria
[05:44] Bora
that exceed the owner's intentions.
[05:46] Takara
They're custom models, unlike
the mass-produced type, right?
[05:50] Takara
It's no surprise if their algorithms
are a little different.
[05:53] Bora
However, their operating systems have
safeguards that are unnaturally strict.
[05:59] Bora
In my analysis, I uncovered a unique
kernel that was named "Heart."
[06:04] Takara
But you dredged through their memory
and still found no evidence, right?
[06:08] Takara
It's a waste of time. Look elsewhere.

Understood.

SIGN A robot may not injure a human being.
[06:41] Bora
The First Law, "a robot may not
injure a human being,"
[06:46] Bora
takes precedence over all other laws.
[06:49] Bora
There is a possibility that
KNoCC's behavioral principles
[06:52] Bora
are exceeding robot limitations.
[06:55] Bora
I cannot discount the possibility
that it may result in injury to humans.
SIGN The Three Laws of Robotics
SIGN First Law
SIGN A robot may not injure a human being.
[06:59] Bora
I cannot overlook the threat to humans,
[07:02] Bora
so that takes precedence
over Captain Takara's orders.
[07:05] Bora
In accordance with the Zeroth Law,
I am reopening my investigation into KNoCC.
[07:12] Denta
Hey, everyone!
[07:14] Denta
Welcome to Denta Park!
[07:16] Denta
We have tons of attractions!
I'll show you around!
[07:21] Denta
Come on, everyone!
[07:23] Esola
This is Denta Park.
SIGN Wow! I've seen the commercials!
[07:29] Chrom
The email did say they were hiring
for part-time positions here.
[07:33] Neon
Yeah.
[07:34] Kei
But what kind of work would we do
at an amusement park?
[07:38] Nobel
Welcome to Denta Park!
[07:42] Nobel
You're here for the job, right?
[07:45] Esola
Who are you?
[07:46] Nobel
I'm a member of the attraction cast.
[07:49] Esola
Wait... I feel like I've met you
somewhere before.
[07:53] Nobel
Did you all come to try out as performers?
[07:57] Nobel
The Brave Figharn Show!
SIGN Brave Figharn Show
[07:59] Esola
Is this...?
[08:01] Nobel
It's a live attraction starring
Denta Park's own original heroes.
[08:05] Guest A
Oh! Excuse me, may I shake your hand?
[08:08] Kei
Huh? Sure.
[08:11] Guest B
Um, me too!
[08:12] Guest B
Me, too!
[08:13] Guest B
Me, too!
[08:15] Neon
He's famous.
[08:17] Chrom
I see.
[08:18] Chrom
Since KNoCC is such a popular
Climber group in Babel,
[08:22] Chrom
if we participate in the attraction here,
it should naturally draw in many guests.
SIGN Really? The job is gonna be a snap, then.
[08:30] Neon
But it looks like Kei is
the only popular one.
[08:34] Neon
It's like we're invisible to them.
SIGN Huh?! Why?!
[08:39] Chrom
Could it be that Kei has been
carrying KNoCC himself this whole time?
SIGN Does that mean we were just backup dancers?
[08:49] Neon
I always thought I was the center.
SIGN Huh?
[08:55] Guest C
It's so good to see you.
[08:55] guest
Congrats on your return!
[08:56] Guest D
You're performing again?!
[08:57] guest
May I shake your hand?
[08:57] Guest C
I've always been your biggest fan!
[09:04] Kei
Excuse me.
[09:07] Kei
Yo.
[09:10] Mother
Look, Ryo. He says he'll shake your hand.
[09:14] Mother
What a silly boy.
[09:17] Father
Sorry about this! He's a little shy.
[09:20] Mother
Would you mind shaking my hand instead?
[09:23] Father
Huh?
[09:24] Kei
Uh, sure.
[09:26] Mother
I've always been a fan!
[09:29] Kei
What was that all about?
[09:32] Kei
I have no data about them in my memory.
[09:35] Kei
I'm sure this was the first time we've met,
[09:37] Kei
but they all acted like they knew who I was.
[09:39] Chrom
KNoCC has only been active
for a short while.
[09:42] Chrom
Nonetheless, they were talking
as if they've been fans for a long time.
[09:45] Nobel
Well, that's because you look just like him.
[09:51] Kei
Him?
SIGN Brave Figharn Show
[09:54] Nobel
Solo, the legendary star who
performed here ten years ago.
[10:00] Nobel
You're his spitting image.
[10:04] Esola
He's right.
[10:05] Esola
He looks just like Kei.
[10:09] Nobel
It seems that everyone's
mistaking you for Solo.
[10:13] Chrom
They must have watched Solo
perform here when they were children.
[10:17] Esola
That's why it was all adults
asking to shake his hand.
SIGN Oh, good! Kei isn't the only one who's popular, after all.
[10:28] Kei
I don't know anything about this person.
[10:31] Kei
But I sense something special about him.
[10:36] Nobel
Solo's performances were huge hits.
[10:40] Nobel
They say that the hero show he acted in
[10:42] Nobel
made every single child
in the audience happy.
[10:46] Kei
Every single child, you say?
[10:49] Nobel
Yeah.
[10:50] Nobel
Even kids who came in crying
or in a bad mood.
[10:53] Nobel
After they watched Solo perform,
they'd be all smiles.
[11:00] Kei
All right.
[11:02] Kei
If that's the job, then leave it to me!
[11:04] Kei
Just like Solo did, I'll give
every last kid a great time!
[11:08] Esola
Wh-What's wrong, Kei?
[11:11] Chrom
Kei's parameters are assigned
to prioritize children.
SIGN So when he hears "children," he gets fired up!
[11:17] Neon
Just like "family" for you, Cobalt.
[11:19] Esola
I-Is that right?
[11:21] Nobel
Mm-hmm. Warmed up and ready to go.
[11:24] Nobel
All right then, here are the costumes.
SIGN Do you mean we have to wear these?
[11:33] Nobel
Of course!
[11:34] Neon
Nope! No way! Unthinkable!
[11:37] Chrom
If you don't, you won't earn any money.
[11:39] Neon
No way, no way, no way!
It totally goes against my aesthetics!
SIGN But why?
SIGN It's pretty cool, right?
SIGN Technoroid
[11:51] Bora
The programs, memories,
and data from all four units
[11:55] Bora
recorded during the prior
questioning are now installed.
[11:58] Bora
This will recreate and test their behavior.
[12:03] Bora
Installation complete.
[12:05] Bora
Generic platforms, activating.
[12:12] Bora
Do you remember who I am?
SIGN Special Investigations Android of the Metropolitan Police Detective Unit.
[12:19] Fake Chrom
Registration number
PD-0321 WG. Lieutenant Bora.
[12:24] Fake Kei
Encountered 423 hours,
32 minutes, and 17 seconds ago.
[12:29] Fake Neon
Conducted questioning for what
is known as the blast furnace incident.
[12:33] Bora
Once again, I am questioning you about
that blast furnace incident.
[12:38] Bora
What was the situation when the manager fell?
SIGN Heard a scream, identified a man falling.
SIGN Afterwards, identified a Ritz No. 9 robot falling.
[12:50] Fake Kei
Did not see anything other than that.
[12:53] Fake Chrom
No further information beyond
what was discussed previously.
[12:56] Fake Neon
Do not possess any additional knowledge.
[12:59] Bora
Replay the recording of the questioning.
[13:02] Cobalt
Then all of a sudden,
I heard this voice go, "Aah!"
[13:05] Cobalt
And then something fell from above
and whizzed right past me.
[13:10] Kei
I didn't see anything else.
[13:12] Chrom
It's just as I've told you many times.
[13:15] Neon
I don't know.
[13:17] Bora
Even with the same program
and the same memories,
[13:21] Bora
I am observing a large
discrepancy in your reactions.
[13:24] Bora
Let's continue the test.
[13:26] Bora
How would you all assess
the incident at hand?
SIGN The incident should never have happened.
[13:32] Fake Chrom
Measures must be taken
to prevent a reoccurrence.
[13:36] Bora
That is not right.
[13:38] Bora
You should be engaging in much
more human-like behavior.
[13:42] Bora
Resist me.
SIGN Understood. Please stop.
[13:46] Bora
That is not right. Even stronger.
[13:49] Fake Kei
Please stop. I strongly request it.
[13:52] Bora
Even stronger.
[13:54] Fake Kei
Please stop. I fiercely, strongly request it.
[13:58] Bora
Even...
[14:00] Bora
stronger!
[14:02] Kei
How dare you! You won't get away with this!
[14:05] Kei
Where are you, Demon King Jeykaiser?!
[14:09] Chrom
That's as far as you go, Brave Figharn.
[14:12] Chrom
I'm impressed you made it this far, Figharn.
[14:16] Chrom
I must commend you for that.
[14:18] Chrom
However, your journey ends here.
[14:21] Neon
He's right, you know.
[14:24] Neon
This place will be your grave, Figharn.
[14:27] Neon
These children for which you care
so much will watch you die in shame.
[14:32] Neon
You who serve as my two arms, finish him off!
SIGN We will do so, great Genosister!
SIGN Let's go, Rightarmer!
[14:39] Esola
Y-You got it, Leftarmer!
[14:42] Nobel
Oh, no! Figharn is in trouble!
[14:45] Nobel
Everyone, let's cheer Figharn on!
[14:48] Kid
Figharn!
[14:49] Kid
Good luck!
[14:50] Kid
Get 'em, Figharn!
SIGN Charge!
[14:52] Esola
Aye!
[15:01] Kei
Two against one? You cowards!
[15:03] Kid
Don't let them beat you, Figharn!
[15:07] Kei
The kids are so happy watching my show!
[15:19] Nobel
Right, we're all Figharn's cheer squad!
[15:22] Nobel
Go get 'em, Figharn!
[15:24] Kids
Go get 'em, Figharn!
[15:28] Ryosuke
Go...
[15:34] Kei
It'll take more than this to stop me!
[15:37] Kei
Here I come!
[15:42] Kei
Cobalt! You've gotta blow up!
SIGN What?
[15:45] Kei
Explode! Explode! Kaboom! Real big!
SIGN Wait, you mean for real?
[15:50] Kei
If you don't, then that kid
won't cheer for me!
SIGN I don't wanna! If I blow up, I'll fall apart!
[15:59] Kei
We're gonna give that kid a good time!
[16:01] Kei
Just deal with it!
SIGN But there's no way!
[16:05] Kei
Once we get paid,
we'll clear the third Stage,
[16:08] Kei
and I'll use the reward money to fix you!
SIGN I can't perform for the third Stage!
[16:14] Chrom
They sure are getting into it.
[16:16] Neon
It's kinda scary.
[16:22] Nobel
Oh, no! Figharn's hand!
[16:31] Ryosuke
Whoa!
[16:42] Kei
I lack the strength to defeat
the Demon King alone.
[16:46] Kei
Please, would you lend me your strength, too?
[16:50] Ryosuke
Huh?
[16:54] Ryosuke
Uh...
[17:02] Ryosuke
Go get 'em...
[17:04] Ryosuke
Go get 'em, Figharn!
[17:10] Kei
I'm all full of energy now!
[17:14] Kei
Everyone, let's combine our strength
and get the bad guys!
[17:19] Kids
Yeah!
[17:24] Chrom & Neon
Yikes!
[17:26] Kei
Go, go!
[17:26] Kids
Yeah!
SIGN Wh-What should we do, Chrom?!
[17:30] Chrom
Let's see. Perhaps I should
fulfill my role here.
SIGN Huh?
[17:35] Chrom
Demon King Jeykaiser won't be
stopped by the likes of you!
[17:41] Neon
We'll turn the tables on you!
SIGN All right, who wants to become my dinner?
[17:47] Esola
We'll gobble you up!
SIGN Hey there, you aren't getting away!
[17:54] Chrom
Oh, oops!
[17:57] Esola
Here you go.
[17:58] Esola
Whoa!
[18:01] Kei
Let's go, let's go!
[18:01] Kid
He's so strong!
SIGN Curse you, Figharn! You'll regret this!
[18:09] Neon
You better not think you've won!
[18:12] Chrom
We will meet again. Farewell for now!
[18:15] Esola
S-See you!
[18:18] Nobel
Oh, my! Demon King Jeykaiser
and his ghouls have run away!
[18:23] Kei
Yes! Everyone, justice has prevailed!
[18:26] kids
Yay!
[18:34] Chrom
It seems things turned out all right.
[18:36] Esola
Yeah. We really messed up
the script, though.
SIGN Still... this is actually kind of fun, y'know?
SIGN All of today's shows have ended.
[18:51] Mother
Wasn't that nice, Ryo?
[18:52] Ryosuke
Yeah. That was fun!
[18:55] Father
Let's come see it again.
[18:56] Ryosuke
Yeah! You promise?
SIGN The kids sure had a blast!
[19:01] Neon
So many smiling faces.
[19:03] Chrom
It was a rather difficult job,
but I believe our work paid off.
[19:08] Esola
I think we showed the kids a great time.
[19:11] Esola
I had a lot of fun, too!
[19:14] Kei
Fun...
[19:17] Kei
Oh, okay.
[19:19] Kei
So this is fun, huh?
[19:33] Bora
I can't understand it.
[19:35] Bora
No matter how much I analyze,
I can't locate any abnormalities.
[19:38] Bora
If it's the same program,
I should get the same results.
[19:43] Bora
So why don't they show
the same behavior as KNoCC?
[19:51] Bora
What is this?
[19:53] Bora
It's trying to access a massive memory area.
[19:57] Bora
Simulate memory space.
[20:03] Bora
It's an empty memory area
with nothing recorded in it.
[20:06] Bora
An endless expanse of nothing.
[20:10] Bora
An infinite zero.
[20:12] Bora
Almost like outer space.
[20:17] Bora
Is KNoCC trying again?
[21:54] Denta
Congratulations, KNoCC!
[21:57] Denta
You have cleared the third Climb Stage!
[21:59] Denta
Next time, you go up another level!
[22:00] Kei
Thanks, everyone!
[22:04] Ryosuke
Awesome!
[22:09] Nobel
It seems this experience
meant something, too.
[22:13] Nobel
I'm looking forward to the next step.

SIGN Mineral Ores
[00:26] Esola
Chrom!
[00:27] Esola
Thanks for waiting!
[00:28] Chrom
Esola. Is it that time already?
[00:32] Esola
Did you check out more books?
[00:33] Chrom
Yes.
[00:35] Chrom
Thanks to the library card you made for me,
I'm able to borrow some very valuable books.
[00:41] Esola
You did say there are a lot of books
that aren't available digitally.
[00:46] Esola
Huh?
[00:47] Chrom
Hmm?
[00:48] Esola
Isn't that Nora? The cat
that comes by the house?
SIGN Mineral Ores
[00:53] Esola
I feel like Nora always
sits next to you, Chrom.
[00:56] Chrom
Huh?
[01:00] Chrom
Do you think so?
SIGN Technoroid
[02:44] Esola
Nora's sitting with you again, Chrom.
[02:48] Chrom
When did you get there?
SIGN Nora!
SIGN Eat up, okay?
SIGN Huh? Nora, it's food. Aren't you gonna eat?
[02:57] Chrom
Cobalt.
[02:59] Chrom
That is too much.
[03:01] Chrom
Nora's estimated age is over ten years old.
[03:04] Chrom
He weighs 6.5 kilograms.
[03:06] Chrom
Calculating from necessary calories,
he should only require
[03:09] Chrom
120 grams of food per day.
SIGN Is that right?
[03:13] Chrom
Also, cats don't like loud noises.
[03:16] Chrom
If you yell at him like that,
he will of course run away.
[03:19] Esola
Chrom, you sure know a lot about cats, too.
[03:23] Chrom
After Nora started visiting the house
regularly, I did some research.
[03:31] Neon
He went back to Chrom.
SIGN Why?!
[03:34] Neon
Do you smell good to him?
[03:36] Chrom
I am odorless.
[03:38] Kei
Maybe you emit electromagnetic
waves that that furball likes.
[03:41] Chrom
I do not.
SIGN I know! You've been sneaking him food!
[03:46] Chrom
I have not.
[03:47] Chrom
In fact, we have no solid evidence
that Nora prefers me to begin with.
[03:52] Kei
But he's still there now.
SIGN So you don't know why Nora sticks to you, either?
SIGN Your parameters are set to "knowledge,"
SIGN but I guess you still don't know everything.
[04:04] Esola
C-Cobalt...
[04:09] Chrom
Esola, would you send me
an operation request?
[04:14] Esola
Huh?
SIGN Chrom
SIGN Verify the Reason Nora Stays at Chrom's Side
SIGN Esola Shibaura
[04:16] Esola
Is this okay?
[04:18] Chrom
Thank you very much.
SIGN That looks fun! I'll help out!
[04:22] Kei
Maybe it'll help us figure out
how to get along with furballs.
[04:26] Neon
But how are you going to verify that?
[04:29] Chrom
First, I need to observe
Nora's behavioral patterns.
[04:34] Chrom
I'll find out where he goes and measure
how much time he spends there.
[04:39] Chrom
Then, I'll calculate how much of that time
he spends with me and input that data.
[04:44] Kei
So that's how that rascal was getting in.
[04:48] Chrom
Let's pursue him.
[04:49] Kei
Yeah.
SIGN I'm coming, too.
[04:51] Neon
Kei, you and I have to go to work soon!
[04:54] Kei
It's only part-time. I can go whenever.
[04:57] Chrom
I'll ask you two to help another day.
[05:00] Esola
Have fun at work, okay?
[05:01] Kei
Huh?! Hey!
SIGN Be back later!
[05:06] Chrom
There he is. Up there.
[05:09] Esola
I was wondering, Nora doesn't
really belong to our house, does he?
[05:13] Chrom
Correct. Nora is a neighborhood cat.
SIGN What's a neighborhood cat?
[05:18] Esola
It means he doesn't belong to one person,
[05:20] Esola
and everyone in the neighborhood
helps take care of him.
[05:24] Chrom
I read an essay saying that the territory
a cat lives in is smaller than most imagine.
SIGN Tora's Bowl
[05:29] Chrom
Some studies have also shown
that even with multiple homes,
[05:32] Chrom
the territory is limited
to a radius of 100 meters.
[05:36] Esola
Ah!
SIGN He ran off!
[05:40] Chrom
It would be difficult
to continue tracking him now.
[05:44] Esola
It's getting late. Let's try again tomorrow.
[05:46] Chrom
Sure!
SIGN Yes.
[05:53] Neon
How big of an area is Nora active in?
[05:55] Chrom
I can't say for sure yet,
[05:57] Chrom
but if I align yesterday's data
with today's route,
[06:01] Chrom
it seems to be larger than the norm.
[06:03] Kei
It's gotta be tough to narrow all that down.
[06:06] Chrom
That's exactly why I need to watch
as closely as I can and keep collecting data.
[06:13] Chrom
Oh!
[06:19] Chrom
We're finally back home.
[06:20] Kei
Wha—
[06:29] Kei
Oh, man. You stick to Chrom
like glue, don't you?
[06:33] Neon
He sure likes you.
[06:35] Chrom
The more I investigate,
the more confused I become.
[06:40] Chrom
This verification process
will take some time.
[07:04] kid
Wait up!
[07:04] Takara
You heard reports of suspicious
individuals around here?
[07:07] Bora
Since the descriptions resemble
the members of KNoCC,
[07:10] Bora
I thought we should investigate,
as we handled the last case.
[07:13] Takara
Why don't you just ignore it?
[07:16] Takara
Guess there's no point telling you that.
[07:18] Kid A
Is this little guy all alone?
[07:20] Kid B
The poor thing.
[07:22] Kid A
I wonder if it's hungry.
[07:22] Bora
What could that be about?
[07:23] Takara
Ah... I'll leave it in your capable hands.
[07:27] Takara
Oh, the operation request.
[07:29] Bora
That won't be necessary.
[07:30] Bora
Assisting citizens is within
the scope of my basic abilities.
[07:35] Takara
Oh, good. Okay, I got stuff to do.
[07:40] Kid B
There we go. What a good boy.
[07:43] Bora
I am Special Investigations Android of
the Metropolitan Police Detective Unit,
[07:48] Bora
PD-0321 WG, Lieutenant Bora.
[07:52] Bora
Are you in some kind of trouble?
[07:54] Kid B
A police officer?
[07:56] Kid B
I think somebody left this puppy.
[08:01] Bora
A puppy. No IC chip or name tag.
[08:05] Bora
Illegal abandonment.
[08:07] Kid A
Since you're a police officer,
you can find the owner, right?
[08:11] Bora
I cannot.
[08:13] Bora
As lost property, I must take it
to the nearest police station
[08:16] Bora
so it can be placed in a shelter.
[08:19] Kid A
What's going to happen after that?
[08:21] Bora
If the owner is not located
within a specified amount of time,
[08:25] Bora
it will be euthanized.
[08:28] Kid B
Youth-anized?
[08:29] Bora
Yes.
[08:30] Kid C
Hey, guys!
[08:32] Kid C
Mom says we can keep it!
[08:35] Kid A
Really?!
[08:36] Kid B
Yay!
[08:38] Kid A
Bye, Mr. Policeman!
[08:44] Bora
What are you all doing?
[08:45] Esola
Huh?
SIGN Oh! The police guy from before.
[08:49] Bora
So you were the suspicious individuals,
just as the report stated.
[08:53] Esola
Su-Suspicious?!
[08:55] Esola
Not at all! We were just—
SIGN We're just following Nora.
[08:59] Bora
Nora?
[09:00] Chrom
That cat.
[09:04] Bora
A stray cat. No, a neighborhood cat?
[09:08] Bora
Why are you following a cat?
[09:10] Esola
Um, there's something we wanted to verify.
[09:14] Bora
Verify? About what?
[09:16] Esola
It would take a while to explain...
[09:18] Chrom
Nora?
[09:28] Esola
Nora?!
SIGN Huh? What happened?
[09:31] Chrom
I don't know.
[09:33] Esola
It looks like he's in pain.
[09:34] Esola
Chrom, search for
the nearest animal hospital.
[09:39] Esola
Chrom, hurry!
[09:41] Bora
There is an animal hospital
845 meters north of here.
[09:46] Bora
I'll show you the way.
[09:47] Esola
Please do.
[09:50] Esola
Let's go!
SIGN Yeah!
SIGN Technoroid
SIGN I wonder what's wrong with Nora.
SIGN Maybe he ran out of energy.
[10:09] Bora
Cats do not replenish energy
the same way we Androids do.
SIGN It's the same as Esola, right?
SIGN I knew that.
SIGN They eat food, and it turns into energy.
SIGN Chrom said it was too much, but I bet he needed more food, after all.
[10:25] Vet
It's acute kidney failure.
[10:27] Esola
Acute kidney failure?
[10:29] Vet
An illness that occurs when
the kidneys' filtering function declines.
[10:33] Vet
He was likely showing symptoms
of dehydration and loss of appetite.
[10:37] Vet
Did you happen to notice anything?
[10:39] Chrom
In fact, in the few days
that we were following Nora,
[10:43] Chrom
we did not see him
consume any food or water.
[10:47] Vet
I did some tests, and it seems
this fellow is about 16 years old.
[10:51] Vet
That's fairly old for a cat.
[10:54] Vet
In human terms, it's around 80 years old.
[10:57] Esola
That old? Um, so what'll happen to Nora?
[11:02] Vet
I'm very sorry to say this, but I think
you should prepare yourselves for the worst.
[11:08] Esola
Prepare...?
[11:10] Chrom
In other words, do you mean Nora will die?
[11:14] Vet
It's very likely, at this point.
[11:17] Vet
I'll do everything I can,
[11:20] Vet
but the next week or two will be critical.
[11:24] Esola
Oh, no...
[11:26] Vet
Normally I'd recommend hospitalization,
[11:29] Vet
but some people prefer to care
for their pets at home.
[11:32] Vet
What shall we do with Nora?
[11:35] Chrom
Let's hospitalize him.
[11:37] Esola
Chrom?
[11:38] Chrom
A hospital with the necessary facilities
would be best for Nora's treatment.
[11:44] Esola
Sure.
[11:47] Neon
Nora's in the hospital?
[11:49] Kei
When is that furball gonna get better?
[11:52] Chrom
We don't know. However...
[11:56] Chrom
If he doesn't recover, he will die.
[11:58] Neon
Die?
[12:00] Chrom
He will stop moving.
SIGN You mean a forced shutdown?
[12:04] Chrom
No.
[12:05] Chrom
We Androids can move again
once we reboot, but Nora cannot.
[12:11] Esola
Once animals and people die,
[12:14] Esola
they never... ever, move again.
[12:18] Neon
Never?
[12:21] Chrom
However, the doctor merely stated
it is "likely" that he will die.
[12:25] Chrom
She did not say it was definitive.
[12:28] Esola
Huh?
[12:29] Chrom
In short, there is still
a chance that he will recover.
SIGN Is that right?
[12:34] Chrom
Esola, please go home with the others.
[12:37] Esola
What about you?
[12:38] Chrom
I will go to the library
to research Nora's illness.
[12:42] Esola
But they're gonna close soon.
[12:45] Chrom
Yes, so I will require
all the time I can get.
[12:48] Esola
Um, no operation request?
[12:51] Neon
He's gone.
[12:53] Bora
Why didn't you stop him?
[12:55] Bora
The possibility of the cat dying
is not zero. It is quite high.
[12:59] Bora
I must conclude there is no meaning
behind that Android's actions.
[13:09] Esola
Chrom. Welcome home.
[13:12] Chrom
I just got back.
[13:13] Esola
You were sure out late.
[13:14] Chrom
Yes. When the library closed,
I went to bookstores in town, too.
[13:18] Chrom
It took quite some time.
[13:20] Chrom
Now, I will continue my research.
[13:23] Esola
Okay. Don't push yourself too hard.
[13:26] Chrom
Right. I will recharge frequently.
SIGN Illness in Dogs and Cats
SIGN Hey, Eliza?
SIGN Will you sub me in for Chrom at work tomorrow?
[14:05] Eliza
Very well. I will change tomorrow's schedule
[14:08] Eliza
and replace Chrom with Cobalt.
SIGN This way, Chrom can study up some more on Nora's sickness.
[14:15] Neon
Chrom did say he wanted to
visit a library that was far away.
[14:18] Kei
Are you two checking on Nora
tomorrow? Thanks, guys.
[14:23] Esola
Sure.
SIGN I sure hope Nora gets better soon.
[14:29] Esola
Neon?
[14:31] Neon
Isn't Chrom going to visit Nora, too?
[14:45] Chrom
Maybe here...

[15:21] Chrom
What's this?
[15:23] Chrom
Oh, it's something different.
SIGN Cats Have Nine Lives
SIGN Because cats seem to be more lively and willful than
other animals, superstitions have developed about how
"cats have nine lives" or "cats are born nine times."
These sayings are used to mean that cats don't die easily
or that if they do die, they will keep coming back to life.
SIGN Sayings About Animals
[15:31] Nobel
Excuse me.
SIGN Animal Behavior
[15:34] Nobel
It seemed as though you were looking
for books on cats— er, I mean, animals.
[15:40] Chrom
What's this?
[15:41] Nobel
It's a slightly older volume that
was written by an animal scholar.
[15:47] Nobel
I thought it might be useful to you.
SIGN Animal Behavior
SIGN What We Will Find at Their Final Destination
[15:50] Chrom
Animal Behavior?
SIGN Preface
Bathing in sunlight that shines through fur.
Eyes that sparkle gently in the dim light, as if containing tiny universes.
Small shoulders rising and falling. A warm back.
To the holder of this book who loves their family so dearly.
I do not know exactly what made you pick up this book. If it feels like you're
grasping at straws, I can only imagine you are facing a difficult truth.
You probably feel anger as well, while knowing it will resolve nothing.
However, you probably do understand that this is between you and your family.
The time you have left to spend together...
[15:53] Chrom
An academic field that studies
the behaviors of living things.
[16:04] Nobel
You need to understand
[16:07] Nobel
if what you're searching for
is an answer, or perhaps...
[16:13] Chrom
"For our beloved animals who are weak
and nearing the ends of their lives,
[16:18] Chrom
there are few things we can do, other than
provide the best care we can and wait.
[16:26] Chrom
But we still may wonder,
'Is there really nothing we can do?'"
SIGN Is there really nothing we can do?

[16:32] Chrom
"In this book, I would like

SIGN Animal Behavior
What We Will Find at Their Final Destination
[16:55] Chrom
Esola.
[16:58] Chrom
Let's bring Nora home.
[17:08] Chrom
Isn't that heavy, Esola?
[17:10] Esola
I'm fine.
[17:11] Esola
But I'm worried about Nora, so let's go
to a main street and catch a taxi home.
[17:17] Bora
You two there.
[17:18] Esola
Officer Bora? Good evening.
[17:21] Bora
Are you taking that cat home?
[17:23] Chrom
Yes. I realized it's for the best.
[17:26] Bora
The best?
[17:29] Esola
Instead of a hospital, we decided
to care for him at home.
[17:32] Esola
We all want to help Nora get better.
[17:35] Bora
Incomprehensible.
[17:36] Esola
Huh?
[17:37] Bora
Why are you so concerned for that cat?
[17:40] Bora
It's merely a neighborhood cat.
[17:43] Esola
Well...
[17:44] Bora
Additionally, the veterinarian
already told you
[17:48] Bora
there is only a small chance
the cat will survive.
[17:50] Bora
Do you really think there's
something you can do?
[17:53] Esola
Officer Bora!
[17:54] Bora
Or was your verification successful?
[17:59] Bora
Did you really discover
a way to save the cat?
[18:02] Chrom
No, I didn't!
[18:05] Chrom
I haven't found a way!
[18:08] Chrom
I searched and searched to find the correct
course of action, anything I could do,
[18:15] Chrom
and I found nothing!
[18:20] Esola
Chrom...
[18:22] Chrom
But even then,
[18:24] Chrom
even then, I...
[18:34] Esola
Hold that part.
SIGN What about this?
[18:36] Kei
All right.
[18:37] Esola
Yeah.
[18:38] Kei
Cobalt, is it plugged in?
SIGN All set!
[18:45] Chrom
Starting today, we'll look
after Nora at home.
[18:48] Esola
Chrom and I will watch him, so you guys
go ahead and recharge, okay?
[18:53] Kei
Sure.
SIGN Once we're charged, we'll take over.
[18:57] Neon
Nora's probably relieved to be here, too.
[19:01] Chrom
Do you think so?
[19:02] Neon
Yeah, because you're here with him, Chrom.
[19:07] Chrom
Do you... think so?
[19:19] Chrom
Esola, have you heard the saying
that cats have nine lives?
[19:24] Esola
No.
[19:26] Chrom
Cats have many lives and
can be reborn over and over.
[19:31] Chrom
That makes them very tenacious,
so they don't die easily.
[19:34] Chrom
That's what the saying means.
[19:38] Chrom
In all my research, that's
about the only thing I learned.
[19:43] Esola
Chrom...
[19:47] Chrom
I was not able to find
an infallible way to save Nora.
[19:52] Esola
But you did try to learn more about him.
[19:56] Esola
Isn't that why Nora's home with us now?
[19:59] Chrom
I don't know if that's something
Nora would want or not.
[20:06] Chrom
I really don't know
[20:08] Chrom
what's right, or what I can do.
[20:13] Chrom
I don't know
[20:16] Chrom
what this feeling is, swelling up inside me.
[20:23] Esola
You must be sad, Chrom.
[20:27] Esola
You kept researching Nora's illness,
[20:30] Esola
so much that you didn't
visit him in the hospital,
[20:32] Esola
because the thought of Nora
going away made you sad.
[20:38] Chrom
Sad...
[20:43] Chrom
I see.
[20:45] Chrom
If I accept that,
[20:48] Chrom
then I'd have to come
to terms with Nora leaving.
[21:03] Chrom
This whole time, I didn't understand
what it meant to feel sad.
SIGN Sadness...
[21:15] Chrom
This is all I can do for you.
[21:26] Chrom
I'll stay with you until the end, Nora.
SIGN All that's left for us to do is to watch over them.
[21:56] Bora
Is that right? The cat from before?
[21:59] Esola
Yes.
[22:00] Esola
Since you helped us find a hospital,
I thought I should let you know.
[22:06] Bora
Understood.
[22:08] Kid C
Here, boy!
[22:09] Kid A
Wait up!
[22:10] Kid B
You're too fast!
[22:11] Kid C
Mocha! Here, boy!
SIGN Neon, Kei, come look at this!
[22:23] Neon
I'm too sleepy.
[22:23] Kei
Later.
SIGN Aww, don't be that way!
[22:24] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[22:27] Chrom
I know you will be reborn many times.
[22:34] Chrom
The verification process isn't complete,
so please come back soon.
[22:52] Kite
Doctor, are organ transplants
really the only way to save Nagi?
[22:59] Doctor
Yes.
[23:00] Doctor
As I explained, if we don't
use artificial organs,
[23:05] Doctor
we have to wait until
we find compatible donors.
[23:12] Kite
Damn it.
[23:16] Kiriya
Please accept my deepest sympathies.
[23:21] Kiriya
With our help, I'm sure we can
find suitable donors for Miss Nagi.
[23:28] Kite
What the hell are you talking about?
[23:30] Kiriya
Our organization has connections
with many different people.
[23:35] Kiriya
If we put that power to use,
[23:38] Kiriya
Miss Nagi will be able to have
her surgery very soon.

No. That painting...
[03:51] Esola

[04:11] Neon

[04:45] Nobel
I've come to raise hell for all

[04:50] Nobel
I'm the local art student!
[04:52] Neon & Esola
Huh?
[04:53] Nobel
The STEM brats here can
only think in numbers,
[04:57] Nobel
and I'm going to scramble
their brains with my art!
[05:00] Esola

[05:03] Nobel
You're such a conservative thinker!
A canvas has no borders.

[05:24] Nobel
Something that puts your beliefs and
ideals into a message and expresses them.
[05:28] Nobel
Like the way this 3D projection expresses
my message of profound respect.
[05:34] Nobel
Watch this!
[05:39] Neon
The same painting.
[05:41] Nobel
The person who painted this changed
the way I see life. A legendary artist!
[05:47] Nobel
They were extremely talented
but shrouded in mystery,
[05:51] Nobel
and nobody knew their age or gender.
[05:54] Esola
Knew?
[05:56] Nobel
About ten years ago,
they suddenly disappeared.
[06:00] Nobel
It was fitting for someone
who lived so freely,
[06:03] Nobel
but the art they left behind
contained many diverse messages.
[06:09] Nobel
Art that can stir the hearts
of whoever sees it.
[06:15] Nobel
Messages like that can transform
the people who receive them.
[06:20] Neon

So, what do you feel?
What message do you want to share?
[06:35] Esola
Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.
SIGN Oh, Esola.

[06:39] Esola
Yeah. I think I'll call it a day

[06:58] Esola
N-Neon? What is this?
[07:05] Esola
Where did you get all the paint?
[07:08] Neon
From that art student before.
[07:10] Esola
Huh? Still, why are you painting on a wall?
[07:14] Esola
Wait. I didn't give you
an operation request.
[07:18] Neon
Right.
[07:20] Neon
But that guy said if you put
messages into your art,
[07:22] Neon
you can change people's hearts.
[07:27] Neon
I thought if the vandals saw this painting,
it might change their hearts, too.
[07:33] Neon
It's hard to put into words.
[07:36] Esola

What the heck are you doing?
[07:39] Staff
What's this painting doing here?
[07:41] Staff

[07:43] Staff
I asked you to wash off
the graffiti, not add to it!
[07:48] Neon
This isn't graffiti! It's art.
[07:51] Neon
I erased the graffiti by painting over it.
[07:53] Staff
What kind of excuse is that?
This is graffiti!
[07:56] Neon
It's art!
[07:57] Girl student A

[08:20] Girl student A
What, you mean he's famous?
[08:22] Girl student B
KNoCC? The real thing?
[08:32] Staff
Ugh. I'll ask the university president
if the painting can stay up.
[08:37] Esola
Thank you very much!

Still, I never knew we had
such a famous student here.
[08:45] Staff
He's even doing all this work for us.
We're lucky to have him!
[08:48] Esola
Actually, Neon isn't a student—

[08:58] Esola
Huh?
[09:00] Esola
You can't use robots?
[09:03] Staff
Well, we could,

It isn't slowing down at all.
[10:50] Neon
Really?
SIGN Again! See, Neon?
[10:54] Neon
Okay, I know, I know.
[10:57] Esola
Guys, I just got an email from work.
[11:01] Esola
They want you to take today off.
[11:03] Neon
Huh? Why?
[11:05] Esola
Um, well, it's something at the university.
[11:10] Neon
A day off...
SIGN Esola, you're being weird.
[11:16] Esola
Huh?
SIGN You aren't acting normal.
[11:19] Esola
Y-You're imagining things!
[11:21] Esola
Anyway, I've got class.
[11:23] Kei
Want us to take you?
[11:25] Esola
That's okay! I'll take the water bus today.
SIGN TRASH!
[11:38] Esola
Oh, no. The painting's washing off, too.
[11:42] Esola
I can't let the others see this.
[11:46] Esola
Especially Neon.
[11:48] Kenji
Mind your own damn business.
[11:52] Kenji
Your friend painted this, right?
[11:56] Kenji
That Neon guy from KNoCC?
[11:57] Esola
Um...
[11:59] Kenji
Tell him I said this:
[12:01] Kenji
You'd better not paint
trash like that again.
[12:05] Esola
Trash?
[12:06] Kenji
Robots are trash, meaning
their paintings are, too.
[12:11] Esola
So all this vandalism...
[12:13] Esola
How can you say something so awful?
[12:16] Kenji
Hmph.
[12:17] Esola
Please, wait a minute!
[12:19] Kenji
Don't touch me!
SIGN Go away!!
SIGN Go away!!
[12:25] Esola
Ow...
[12:29] Kei
Esola! Are you okay?
[12:33] Kenji
What a pain in the ass!
[12:36] Esola
Ouch.
SIGN You okay? Can you stand?
[12:41] Esola
Why are you all here?
[12:43] Chrom
Neon insisted on finishing his painting.
[12:47] Neon
Are you hurt?
[12:49] Esola
No.
SIGN They wrote something hurtful again!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
[12:59] Esola
I tried to wash it off before Neon saw it,
[13:02] Esola
but the painting was coming off with it.
[13:05] Kei
You did it by yourself?
[13:08] Esola
I'm sorry I lied.
[13:14] Esola
Neon?
SIGN TRASH!
[13:18] Neon
It stings.
SIGN TRASH!
SIGN Disappear!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
SIGN Go away!!
SIGN Technoroid
SIGN Geez.
[13:26] Chrom
We can get it clean.
SIGN TRASH!
SIGN Disappear!
[13:32] Neon
It won't go away.
[13:33] Esola
I wish we could erase just the graffiti.
[13:36] Neon
No, I mean the stinging here
isn't going away.
[13:42] Esola
Neon...
[13:44] Neon
Why would somebody write this?
[13:47] Neon
Maybe my message was too weak.
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
[13:51] Esola
Neon, what is your painting
supposed to mean?
[13:56] Neon
Esola.
[13:57] Esola
Huh? Me?
[14:00] Neon
Yeah.
[14:02] Neon
I wanted it to be like you.
[14:04] Neon
You never cared that we're Androids, Esola.
[14:08] Neon
You repaired us, wrote new songs for us,
and did all sorts of things like that.
[14:16] Neon
But even when you do
nothing, even if you lie,
[14:20] Neon
we can always tell
that you're thinking of us.
[14:24] Neon
You warm us up just by hanging
around and laughing with us.
[14:29] Neon
So this thing you share with us,
[14:34] Neon
I wanted everyone else
to be able to feel it, too.
[14:37] Neon
But I don't really know
how to pass that along.
[14:42] Neon
From the start, even though
we're Androids, you were—
[14:46] Esola
You've got it backwards, Neon.
[14:48] Neon
Huh?
[14:49] Esola
When I was all alone after my dad died,
you were the ones who reached out to me.
[14:56] Esola
That day, under the footbridge,
you all found me.
[15:02] Esola
You sang that song and then stayed with me.
[15:07] Esola
That's why I'm always smiling these days.
[15:11] Esola
So I wanted you all
to keep smiling along with me.
[15:18] Esola
It doesn't matter if you're
Androids or humans.
[15:20] Esola
I just really like you guys!
[15:26] Kenji
Androids?!
[15:29] Neon
"Like"?
[15:30] Esola
Yeah.
[15:31] Neon
Is that the thing you share with us?
[15:35] Esola
Yeah, it is.
[15:39] Neon
Oh. So this is...
SIGN I like you, too!
[15:58] Neon
It's gone.
[15:59] Esola
Huh?
[16:01] Neon
It doesn't sting anymore.
[16:06] Neon
I want to paint again.
[16:10] Neon
I know the message I need to send now.
SIGN TRASH!
SIGN Disappear!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
SIGN Go away!!
[16:18] Kenji
So KNoCC is all Androids.
[16:22] Kenji
This is huge!
SIGN The members of KNoCC are all Androids.
The proof is that they don't need capes during the day.
[16:24] Kenji
"The members of KNoCC are all Androids.
[16:27] Kenji
The proof is that they don't
need capes during the day."
[16:30] Comment
"There must be cover somewhere."
[16:32] Comment
"Don't see any, though."
[16:33] Comment
"If KNoCC is made up of
Androids, they're all liars!"
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
SIGN Go away!
[16:36] Comment
"No kidding."
SIGN But when have we ever lied?
[16:44] Chrom
Is it simply because we are Androids?
[16:46] Kei
We never hid that, though.
[16:48] Chrom
Androids are incapable
of lying to begin with.
SIGN Aquarium
SIGN I don't know KNoCC, but if they lied about being
human to get into Babel, that's a problem.
SIGN Fuwa Fuwa Pink Panda
SIGN I'm dropping KNoCC.
Don't think I can support them after they tricked us.

I've seen that icon before...
[17:05] Esola
Could it be that same guy?
[17:19] Kenji
What are you doing here?
[17:20] Neon
That post was you, right?
[17:24] Neon
And the vandalism, too?
[17:28] Kenji
I don't answer to trash like you.
[17:31] Neon
I came here to tell you something.
[17:35] Neon
I'm painting that picture again
[17:38] Neon
with my message.
[17:40] Neon
I'll complete it this time and
make sure everybody gets it.
[17:45] Kenji
So what? I don't give a damn.
[17:48] Kenji
But it's such a mess now,
I bet you can't do anything with it.
[17:52] Neon
I'll paint it over.
[17:54] Kenji
Heh! You machines are so dense.
[17:57] Kenji
"Paint it over"?
[17:58] Kenji
You only say that so easily
because you've never felt real pain!
[18:02] Neon
Easily?
[18:04] Kenji
Yeah, that's right! Humans
can't start over that easily!
[18:08] Kenji
Can they?!
[18:10] Kenji
I missed out on work, lost sleep, and put
everything I had into my studies!
[18:15] Kenji
How much work do you think it takes
to finish a thesis like that?!
SIGN Not Admissible
[18:20] Kenji
And then some crap Android peer review
system just rejects the whole thing?!
[18:27] Kenji
It's bullshit!
[18:30] Kenji
Yeah, I might hold a grudge,
but it pisses me off!
[18:34] Kenji
Trash, trash, trash, trash!
[18:38] Kenji
You're all trash!
[18:40] Kenji
And I'll keep ruining your trash painting!
[18:46] Neon
Fine with me.
[18:48] Neon
Then I'll just paint it again.
[18:50] Neon
Until you stop thinking I'm trash,
I'll paint it over and over again.
[18:55] Neon
Because I want you to like us, too.
[19:02] Kenji
Are y-you stupid?!
[19:58] Neon
It's done!
[20:00] Neon
This is
[20:04] Neon
how "liking" someone feels to me!

SIGN Yahho! News
SIGN KNoCC are Androids?!
Gone viral after misrepresenting themselves as Climbers
SIGN Shocking!
SIGN Really?!
SIGN No way Androids can be Climbers
[22:05] Kiriya
KNoCC are Androids?
[22:08] Kiriya
This might be worth investigating.

[00:25] Esola
Thanks for always coming to get me, guys.
SIGN No problem!
[00:29] Neon
It gives me a chance to see what I painted.
[00:32] Chrom
We do this because we want to.
[00:34] Kei
You're KNoCC's songwriter, after all.
[00:37] Esola
Thanks, guys.
SIGN We're finally going to the fifth Stage!
[00:43] Chrom
The most difficult one so far.
[00:45] Chrom
We have to battle against other
top Climbers on the fifth Stage.
[00:49] Esola
Does that mean you might have to
battle against Kite and STAND-ALONE?
[00:56] Neon
STAND-ALONE's performances are top-level.
SIGN We'll be fine if we get a new song from Esola!
[01:02] Kei
With Esola's song and our
performance, I know we can win.
[01:07] Chrom
Let's concentrate on rehearsing
to make sure we do.
SIGN I wanna start singing! Let's hurry home!
[01:12] Kei
Okay, how about a shortcut?
SIGN Technoroid
SIGN We've never been this way.
[02:55] Chrom
This region is apparently
known as Diamond Town.
[02:58] Esola
Huh? Diamond Town?
[03:00] Kei
What's wrong?
[03:01] Esola
I've heard this area isn't very safe.
[03:05] Chrom
The crime rate here is somewhat high.
[03:08] Chrom
Many residents are unemployed, poor, or
members of the robot exclusionist faction.
SIGN Oh! Look!
SIGN Robots Get Out!
[03:16] Esola
Must be from robot exclusionists.
[03:18] Neon
I don't like it here. Let's hurry home.
[03:21] Kei
Yeah, let's move.
[03:25] Kei
Oh, crap!
[03:28] Man A
The hell?! Watch where you're goin'!
[03:31] Man B
Who are you punks?
[03:33] Man B
Never seen you around here.
[03:35] Man C
What are you doing here?
SIGN What now?
[03:39] Kei
I'll stall if I have to.
Get Esola out of here.
SIGN Yeah.
[03:43] Man C
What's with all the whispering, huh?
[03:45] Chrom
We're just passing through,
and don't want any trouble.
[03:48] Man A
Who the hell you think you are?!
[03:50] Man D
Hey.
[03:51] Man A
Huh?
[03:52] Man D
Wait, are these guys...?
[03:53] Woman F
It's KNoCC!
[03:55] Woman E
They just cleared the fourth Stage at Babel.
[03:57] Man B
Seriously?
[03:58] Man C
They're super famous!
[03:59] Man A
Gimme an autograph!
[04:01] Esola
Their attitudes changed so fast—
[04:05] Man B
This thing fell over again.
[04:07] Esola
A child?
[04:09] Man A
Nah, forget it. It isn't even human.
[04:13] Man B
Just a stray Android.
SIGN A stray Android?
[04:20] Man
What? We're just having some fun.
SIGN You can't do this!
[04:24] Man D
These things are the reason we lost our jobs!
[04:27] Woman E
It doesn't have a registered owner,
so nobody will know if we smash it!
[04:31] Kei
Stop it!
[04:32] Woman F
Why, though?
[04:34] Woman F
Isn't being a punching bag
one of a robot's jobs?
SIGN Stop it right now!
[04:42] Man C
Hey. Aren't those guys robots, too?
SIGN KNoCC are Android Climbers!?
SIGN Are you for real rn?
[04:46] Man C
KNoCC is trending because people
suspect them of being Androids.
[04:50] Neon
That's...
[04:51] Esola
It's going viral again?
[04:53] Man B
Hey, seriously?
[04:55] Man C
Well? What's the truth?
[04:56] Chrom
Yes, we are Androids.
[04:59] Esola
Chrom!
[04:59] Chrom
Androids mustn't lie to humans.
[05:03] Man B
First you steal humans' jobs, and now
you're coming for our entertainment?!
[05:09] Man A
You're trying to destroy humankind
and replace all of us!
[05:13] Man C
As if we're gonna let that happen!
[05:15] Motorbike cop
You over there!
[05:17] Motorbike cop

[05:18] Man D
Crap!
[05:19] Man B
It's the cops!
[05:20] Man A

Halt! Stop right there!
[05:28] Motorbike cop B
Hey! Wait!

Don't resist!
[05:34] Motorbike cop B
This is Unit 12. 8-7-8 in progress.
Requesting immediate backup!
[05:40] Man A
They took the robot with them!
[05:42] Esola
What should we do?
[05:42] Man D
Which way did they go?
[05:43] Neon
Find a place to hide!
[05:44] Man B
Find them!
[05:44] Chrom
Over there!
[05:51] Man
I don't see 'em.
[05:52] Man
Look over there!
[05:53] Man
Got it!
[05:55] Kei
Are they gone?
[05:56] Chrom
It looks like it.
[05:58] Night
Who's there?
[05:59] Light
Wait, aren't you...?
[06:01] Night
What are you doing here?
[06:03] Esola
It's you guys!
SIGN Oh, yeah! It's the guys who dance with Kite!
[06:08] Night
How rude. We do have names, y'know.
[06:11] Light
Our fans would kill you for
not knowing who we are.
[06:16] Night
My name is Night Kitanomaru.
[06:18] Light
I'm Light Kitanomaru.
We're members of STAND-ALONE.
[06:23] Chrom
Why are you here, though?
[06:25] Kite
We should be the ones asking that.
[06:28] Kite
What are you doing in my bar?
[06:31] Esola
Kite!
[06:33] Night
Kite is the owner and manager
here at Bar Air.
[06:37] Light
He was running it before
becoming a top Climber.
[06:41] Kite
What are you trying to do,
[06:43] Kite
bringing robots into my bar?
[06:46] Kite
You need to leave, now.
SIGN But why?!
[06:48] Night
You should do what he says.
[06:51] Night
Kite has a lot of influence around here.
[06:53] Light
If you don't, you'll be in serious trouble.
[06:56] Esola
Wait!
[06:58] Esola
I beg you, please let me explain!
[07:05] Kite
If a stray Android wanders in here,
of course it'll get attacked.
[07:10] Night
Many people here lost
their jobs to robots.
[07:13] Light
Robot exclusionists hang around here, too.
[07:15] Kite
What are you even thinking,
trying to rescue a robot here?
SIGN We don't need a reason.
SIGN We don't need a reason to help someone.
[07:32] Esola
He should at least start up now.
[07:37] Esola
Hey, are you okay?
[07:39] Joel
Let it snow...
[07:41] Joel
In the white snow I... can see...
SIGN Is he singing?
[07:50] Chrom
He appears to be carrying
out an operation request.
[07:50] Joel
Your warm body...
[07:53] Neon
Without a registered owner?
[07:56] Chrom
His personal name is Joel.
[07:58] Chrom
According to his memory, his owner
died of illness one week ago.
[08:03] Chrom
It seems his owner worked
in music before passing,
[08:07] Chrom
and left him an operation request
to sing these songs one last time.
SIGN And Joel came all this way to fulfill that.
SIGN But those jerks...
[08:22] Man A
Kite!
[08:24] Man A
You've got to hear this.
[08:25] Man A
The cops got our—
[08:27] Man D
Hey, isn't that them?!
[08:28] Man A
This is where you were
hiding, you little punks?
[08:32] Man A
You won't get away so easy this time.
[08:35] Chrom
What do you intend to do to us?
[08:38] Man A
We won't touch you.
[08:39] Man D
That's right. You might be robots,
[08:41] Man D
but if we lay a hand on Climbers,
we'd be the ones in trouble.
[08:45] Man A
So instead, you can give us that robot.
[08:47] Man A
We'll scrap it for you.
SIGN No way!
[08:50] Man A
Robots have to follow humans' orders, right?
[08:55] Man A
Come on, hand it over.
[08:58] Man A
I said, hand it over!
SIGN No way! Stop it!
[09:02] Esola
Kite! Please stop them!
[09:05] Esola
People here listen to you, right?
[09:09] Esola
Please, make them stop!
[09:12] Kite
You know I hate robots, and
you're asking me anyway?
[09:15] Esola
Well, I...
[09:18] Kite
Fine, then.
[09:19] Man A
Kite!
[09:20] Kite
But on one condition.
[09:24] Kite
I'll let it slide this time if you
beat us in a performance.
[09:28] Kite
How about it? Does that sound fair?
[09:32] Man B
A STAND-ALONE performance!
[09:33] Man B
They'll slay 'em!
[09:36] Light
It's settled, then.
[09:37] Night
There's a stage in the basement.
We'll show you.
[09:41] Kite
KNoCC, you're going to face
STAND-ALONE in an underground battle.
SIGN Technoroid
[09:47] Junk Denta
An underground battle!
[09:49] Junk Denta
We've got an underground
battle happening!
[09:52] Junk Denta
Facing the top Climbers, STAND-ALONE
[09:55] Junk Denta
is a group that has just cleared
the fourth stage—KNoCC!
[10:02] Junk Denta
The underground battle between
STAND-ALONE and KNoCC is starting!
[10:06] Bora
KNoCC?
[10:09] Chrom
Underground battles are unofficial fights
that aren't related to Babel.
[10:13] Chrom
The winners are decided by viewers
who vote with points on the dark web.
[10:18] Esola
So no matter how many points you get,
if the other group gets more, you lose.
SIGN It's the same system as Babel's fifth Stage.
SIGN And our opponents, STAND-ALONE, are top Climbers.
[10:29] Neon
It's like the opening battle
of the fifth Stage.
[10:31] Kei
We can't afford to lose now.
SIGN Joel, I promise we'll win and protect you!
[10:40] Kite
Ready? Watch closely.

There's no way humans would lose to robots.

[12:39] Man A
So? What'd you think of Kite
and the guys' performance?
[12:42] Man B
You don't have a chance!
[12:44] Kei
What was that?!
[12:45] Esola
Um, why do you all support Kite that much?
[12:50] Man D
Because he's the guy who saved this town.
[12:53] Esola
Saved it?
[12:54] Man B
He donated tons of money to orphanages.
[12:57] Man B
That's what he opened this bar for.
[13:00] Man A
It ain't an easy thing to do.
[13:02] Man A
That's why we all respect Kite and his guys.
[13:06] Man A
Those three are heroes in this town.
[13:09] Esola
Heroes?
[13:11] Kite
I'm no hero.
[13:14] Kite
I was raised in an orphanage too,
[13:17] Kite
after I lost both of my parents
in an accident.

And that's where I met these two.
[13:23] Night
Back then, we had someone helping us out.
[13:26] Night
Our very own "Daddy-Long-Legs."
SIGN "Daddy-Long-Legs"?
[13:30] Light
He totally saved us when we had nobody else.
[13:34] Kite
We're just doing the same thing that he did.
[13:38] Kite
He was the real hero in all of this.
[13:42] Kite
It's your turn now.
[13:44] Kite
I hope you can show us a good time, KNoCC.
SIGN Yeah, we will!
[13:49] Esola
Guys...
[13:51] Chrom
Please don't worry.
SIGN With Esola's song and our performance, there's no way we'll lose!
[15:40] Light
They aren't half bad.
[15:42] Light
We might lose, even.
[15:45] Night
I'm so scared!
[15:49] Junk Denta
Hey, jerks! Are you hyped up?
[15:52] Junk Denta
It's the KNoCC versus
STAND-ALONE underground battle,
[15:55] Junk Denta
and it's time to see the results!
[15:59] Junk Denta
Yeah!
[16:01] Junk Denta
STAND-ALONE's points are taking the lead!
[16:04] Night
Guess they weren't all that.
[16:06] Light
Too easy.
[16:08] Junk Denta
What's this?
[16:09] Junk Denta
Is KNoCC making an unexpected comeback?
[16:12] Chrom
It's growing!
[16:13] Neon
We can make it!
SIGN Yes! This is good!
[16:15] Kei
Keep going!
[16:19] Esola
Please!
SIGN Give us more! Keep going!
[16:23] Light
Huh?
[16:24] Night
You're kidding...
[16:30] Junk Denta
And the winners are...
[16:36] Junk Denta
Yay! STAND-ALONE has won!
SIGN That can't be right!
[16:43] Man B
And that's game.
[16:45] Man A
We won.
[16:47] Man A
This thing's ours now.
SIGN Wait!
SIGN Any more and Joel's gonna—
[16:52] Man B
Move it! You wanna get scrapped, too?!
[16:56] Bora
Stop right there.
[16:57] Bora
Those Androids belong to the boy.
[17:01] Bora
If you hurt them, I will arrest you
for property damage.
[17:03] Esola
Mr. Bora!
[17:05] Man A
Yeah, we know.
[17:08] Man A
But this one...
[17:13] Esola
Please stop!
SIGN Stop!
[17:19] Bora
That other Android has no owner registration.
[17:23] Bora
It was going to be scrapped anyway,
so it is legal to destroy it.
[17:26] Man A
What he said!
SIGN Stop it!
[17:34] Esola
Cobalt!
[17:35] Bora
An interlock mechanism.
[17:37] Bora
When an Android contradicts the Three
Laws of Robotics, its movement is locked.
[17:42] Chrom
Our programming won't let us harm humans.
[17:47] Man A
Just where I want you.
[17:49] Man A
Stand back and watch!
SIGN Stop it!
SIGN Stop it!
SIGN Stop!
[17:59] Kei
Isn't there something we can do?
[18:01] Chrom
Interlock mechanisms would stop us, too.
[18:05] Neon
What is this? I feel hot!
SIGN I want to take this heat and blast those guys with it!
[18:15] Kite
What's going on?
[18:17] Kite
Why would heartless Androids feel anger?
[18:24] Man A
All right!
SIGN Stop it!
[18:28] Neon
Stop!
[18:38] Kite
That's enough.
[18:39] Man A
Kite?
[18:41] Kite
I'll buy him from you.
[18:44] Kite
You've had enough fun.
[18:46] Man A
Wait!
[18:48] Night
You gonna disobey?
[18:49] Light
Kite told you to stop.
[18:51] Kite
You're done. Go home.
[19:01] Esola
Are you okay?
SIGN Kite... why?
[19:08] Kite
Do I need a reason to help someone?
[19:12] Kite
I remembered something that person said.
SIGN That person?
[19:18] Light
A long time ago, we wrote
a letter to our Daddy-Long-Legs.
[19:21] Night
We asked him why he decided to save us.
[19:25] Night
And he said, "You don't need
a reason to help someone."
[19:29] Kite
Don't get the wrong idea.
[19:31] Kite
I only saved a human, and that's Esola.
[19:35] Kite
None of my business if he helps
you or that thing, though.
SIGN Thank you!
[19:41] Kite
But keep this in mind.
[19:44] Kite
Saving that thing won't achieve anything.
SIGN Go away!
[19:47] Kite
There are people full of hate around
the world who assault robots every day.
[19:52] Kite
Saving just one isn't even
a drop in the bucket.
SIGN Even so...
SIGN I can't stand here and do nothing.
[20:02] Kite
Is that right?
[20:04] Kite
You know, this isn't public knowledge yet,
[20:08] Kite
but if you beat the fifth Stage at Babel,
instead of receiving a cash prize,
[20:12] Kite
you can request to have
a wish granted instead.
SIGN A wish?
[20:17] Light
Of course, you can't ask for stuff like
someone's death or to cure a fatal disease.
[20:23] Night
The World Government isn't a god, after all.
[20:26] Kite
That's why I chose money.
For Nagi's treatments.
[20:30] Chrom
What if we clear the fifth Stage and
ask them to stop the persecution of robots?
[20:35] Kite
Who knows? Either way, you have
to beat top Climbers first.
[20:41] Kite
And you don't know
who you'll be matched against.
[20:43] Kei
In that case, we just have
to make sure we don't lose.
[20:47] Neon
Yeah, for sure.
SIGN And then we can protect robots and Androids around the world!
SIGN We won't let anyone else end up like Joel!
[20:56] Kei
Yeah!
[20:59] Bora
Continue monitoring KNoCC?
[21:01] Bora
I thought they were no longer
suspects in the blast furnace incident.
[21:05] Takara
It's something else.
[21:08] Takara
You're ordered to watch the four Android
units in KNoCC and their boy owner, Esola.
[21:13] Takara
This comes from the top.
[21:15] Bora
What are they suspected of?
[21:17] Takara
How would I know? At least
you got official authorization now.
[21:21] Takara
Weren't you watching them on your own?
[21:23] Bora
It wasn't arbitrary. The Three
Laws of Robotics state—
[21:26] Takara
Yeah, yeah. Just report anything you find.
[21:29] Takara
Got it?
[21:31] Bora
Understood.
[21:34] Kiriya
Hello there, Kite. This is Kiriya.
[21:37] Kite
What do you want?
[21:38] Kiriya
Your next performance has been scheduled.
[21:42] Kite
Since when did you become our manager?
[21:44] Kiriya
Please defeat your challengers
at the fifth Stage.
[21:47] Kiriya
Your opponents are
[21:49] Kiriya
KNoCC.
[21:51] Kiriya
Show the world that humanity
is the pinnacle of existence.
[21:56] Kite
And if I cooperate, you really
will find donors for Nagi, right?
[22:01] Kiriya
Of course I will.
If you beat KNoCC, that is.
[22:05] Kiriya
I have faith in you.
[22:07] Kiriya
We'll talk again.
[22:12] Kite
Nagi...
[22:15] Kite
I'll do whatever it takes for you.

[00:06] Denta
The fifth Stage is a battle between
Climbers who beat the fourth Stage
[00:10] Denta
and a selected group of top Climbers!
[00:13] Denta
The group facing the super-tough fifth Stage
this time is the up-and-coming KNoCC!

[00:34] Announcer A
Following the "blast furnace incident"
[00:37] Announcer A
in which a human was
allegedly pushed to his death,
[00:39] Announcer A
the voices of the robot exclusionist faction
have become increasingly loud.
SIGN Technoroid
[02:20] Esola
Hey. I'm fixing it.
[02:23] Esola
It's been broken since back then.
[02:26] Esola
I really should hurry and deliver it
to the address Father gave me,
[02:33] Esola
but I kinda don't want to give it up.
[02:35] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
[02:38] Eliza
Break it up, the four of you.
[02:41] Eliza
You face the fifth Stage tomorrow.
[02:43] Eliza
Now is not the time to be bickering.
[02:46] Eliza
You must realize you'll
be facing STAND-ALONE.
[02:49] Esola
Wh-What's going on?
[02:52] Eliza
Why can't you understand?
[02:54] Eliza
It doesn't matter how much you ask.
[02:57] Eliza
In this house,
[02:58] Eliza
there is only one television!
[03:01] Chrom
I'm supposed to be watching All the Doggies
and Kitties of the World right now!
[03:06] Neon
No, I need to watch a live art performance!
[03:08] Kei
No, I need to watch
Heroes Unite for Victory!
[03:11] Esola
So this is all about...
[03:14] Eliza
The typical battle over the remote control.
[03:16] Eliza
And with the fifth Stage
happening tomorrow...
[03:19] Kei
Give it here!
[03:20] Neon
Here!
SIGN Me too, me too!
[03:23] Esola
What did you want to watch, Cobalt?
SIGN I wanna see this!
SIGN It'll Surprise You!! 100 Terrifying
Real Horror Videos!
SIGN It'll Surprise You!!
SIGN 100 Terrifying Real Horror Videos
[03:31] Chrom
"It'll surprise you"?
[03:33] Neon
What does "surprise" mean?
[03:35] Kei
Is that like when humans go, "Wha—!"?
SIGN Yeah! Doesn't that sound neat, Esola?
[03:40] Esola
No way! Absolutely no way!
[03:43] Kei
Esola's acting like Neon.
[03:47] Neon
You don't like being surprised?
[03:49] Esola
That's not really it.
Sometimes it's fun to be surprised.
[03:55] Chrom
Why don't we test that theory, then?
[03:58] Esola
Huh?
[03:59] Kei
This might be one
of those fun times, you know.
[04:02] Esola
Huh? Hey, wait—
[04:05] Announcer B
We're here with a breaking news report.
[04:09] Announcer B
To address the blast furnace
incident that increased tensions
[04:12] Announcer B
between robot exclusionist
and inclusionist factions,
[04:14] Announcer B
the World Government organization
has released a statement.
[04:19] Esola
Blast furnace incident?
SIGN That's the incident we saw, right?
SIGN What is the truth behind
the blast furnace incident?
[04:24] Announcer B
It was revealed that when
the incident occurred,
[04:26] Announcer B
robots at the factory were being mistreated,
[04:29] Announcer B
leading to today's concerns that the victim
may have been pushed to his death.
[04:34] Commentator
The deceased manager was
verbally and physically violent
SIGN Factory manager who died
in the blast furnace incident
[04:39] Commentator
toward the obsolete Ritz No. 9 model robots.
[04:41] Commentator
The robots may have rebelled in
response to that constant abuse.
[04:46] Commentator
It's not beyond the realm of possibility.
[04:49] Announcer B
In response to this,
[04:50] Announcer B
the World Government, which advocates
for the spread of robots in society,
[04:54] Announcer B
released another statement clarifying
that robots and Androids have no hearts
[04:59] Announcer B
and thus are incapable of
seeking revenge against humans.
[05:04] Esola
They have no hearts...
[05:06] Neon
Esola?
[05:08] Kei
Is it true that that robot pushed
a human to his death?
[05:12] Chrom
We do not know.
[05:13] Chrom
However, we are all equipped
with interlock mechanisms.
[05:17] Chrom
We should not be capable of harming humans.
[05:21] Neon
But there're some humans who think
the robot really did push him.
SIGN Can we really leave things like this?
SIGN We were there when it happened,
SIGN and we're robots, just like them.
SIGN Shouldn't we find out what happened?
[05:43] Chrom
Actually, I have been thinking that myself.
[05:46] Neon
If we ignore the incident...
[05:49] Kei
Then a lot more robots and
Androids might be destroyed.
SIGN But if we can prove that the robot didn't shove that human or anything,
SIGN we might be able to prevent anyone else from getting hurt.
[06:04] Esola
But how would we prove that?
[06:07] Neon
Can we investigate or something?
SIGN It faced daily abuse and
violence from the manager.
SIGN Topics It wasn't an accident?! The truth of the blast furnace incident.
Robots without hearts... revolted against unfair treatment?
SIGN The Ritz No. 9 model robot assumed
to have pushed the factory manager.
[06:12] Takara
What are you doing with that?
[06:14] Bora
I am reevaluating the data
from the blast furnace incident.
[06:17] Takara
Are you that upset about KNoCC
being put under special surveillance?
[06:21] Bora
Androids do not question or complain
about orders from humans.
[06:27] Takara
Fine. I'll add it to my files, so go ahead.
[06:32] Takara
Huh?
[06:34] Takara
That's a whole lot of disk space
just for the police academy test.
[06:38] Takara
I've never seen anything like it.
[06:40] Bora
I have a spare drive installed.
[06:44] Bora
I will utilize it if my amount
of data increases.
[06:50] Bora
The amounts are so different...
[06:53] Esola
Should we really be here when you're
going on the fifth Stage tomorrow?
[06:58] Chrom
I understand your concern.
[07:00] Kei
But if we don't investigate now,
I'll feel all uneasy right here.
[07:06] Neon
There's nobody here?
[07:07] Esola
I guess it's been sealed off
since the police investigation.
[07:12] Chrom
I wonder if there's
another entrance somewhere.
[07:17] Esola
Wha—?!
[07:19] Kei
What's wrong?
SIGN Did that "Wha—!" just now mean you're surprised?
[07:23] Esola
I-I just saw something inside...
[07:25] Esola
There was a p-person...
[07:27] Esola
Wha—!
[07:33] Ritz #9 D
Good evening. May I help you?
[07:40] Ritz #9 D
This way, please.
[07:44] Esola
The factory kept operating
after the incident?
[07:48] Esola
Didn't the police come to salvage you all?
[07:51] Ritz #9 D
That night, the three units that
met with Mister were salvaged,
[07:56] Ritz #9 D
but the rest of us were
recharging in the warehouse.
[07:59] Chrom
I see. So those of you who
remained kept things running.
SIGN Why were the lights off, though?
[08:05] Ritz #9 D
We are equipped with night vision sensors.
[08:09] Ritz #9 D
When there are no humans here,
we keep the lights off to save energy.
[08:15] Ritz #9 D
That is what Mister told us to do.
[08:17] Neon
Who's "Mister"?
[08:18] Kei
Must be that guy from before.
[08:22] Ritz #9 D
This is the blast furnace.
[08:29] Esola
An Android?
[08:31] Ritz #9 D
This is a robot disposal facility.
[08:35] Ritz #9 D
The robots disposed of in this blast furnace
[08:38] Ritz #9 D
are turned back into
their component materials.
[08:41] Esola
Oh, wow.
SIGN That guy just now looked brand new!
[08:45] Ritz #9 D
One-third of the robots
collected here are unused.
[08:51] Chrom
This is where the factory manager
you call "Mister" fell in, isn't it?
[08:56] Ritz #9 D
Yes, it is.
[08:59] Chrom
Weren't you in storage when it happened?
[09:01] Ritz #9 D
All of us at the factory
always synchronize our data.
[09:06] Chrom
Does that mean you also synchronized
the data of the Ritz No. 9 unit
[09:11] Chrom
that was standing next to the manager?
[09:13] Ritz #9 D
Yes. I will retrieve the corresponding data.
[09:18] Kei
They did say there was no security camera
footage from the time of the incident, right?
[09:23] Neon
That's why they didn't know
exactly what had happened.
SIGN If we can find out what really happened, we can prove it was an accident!
[09:31] Ritz #9 D
Error. Error.
[09:33] Ritz #9 D
Requested data has crashed.
Playback impossible.
SIGN Huh? Why?!
[09:38] Ritz #9 D
Cause unknown.
[09:40] Chrom
The police questioned us repeatedly
[09:42] Chrom
because they couldn't access
the synchronized data, either.
[09:46] Kei
Now there's no way we can
prove it was an accident.
[09:49] Neon
So what now?
[09:51] Ritz #9 D
We are all junkpiles.
[09:54] Esola
Junkpiles?
[09:56] Ritz #9 D
We Ritz No. 9 unit robots
have all been recalled.
[10:01] Esola
Wait. You've been recalled?
[10:03] Esola
What do you mean "junkpiles"?
[10:05] Ritz #9 D
Mister used to call us "junkpiles"
[10:08] Ritz #9 D
and hit us.
[10:10] Esola
Huh?!
[10:11] Ritz #9 D
Mister hit us.
[10:14] Ritz #9 D
Over and over
[10:17] Ritz #9 D
and over and over
[10:20] Ritz #9 D
and over...
SIGN Technoroid
[10:23] Ritz #9 D
Mister hit us.
[10:25] Ritz #9 D
Over and over
[10:28] Ritz #9 D
and over and over
[10:30] Ritz #9 D
and over.
[10:32] Esola
That's awful.
[10:33] Ritz #9 D
Error. Error. Cannot execute program.
[10:37] Neon
Another error?
[10:39] Chrom
Maybe there's some kind
of mechanical problem.
[10:42] Esola
I'll take a look.
[10:51] Esola
He sure has a lot of free memory.
[10:57] Esola
That's strange. I wonder what this data is.
[11:04] Previous owner
You already broke down again?
[11:07] Previous owner
I spent a lot of money on you!
At least do the work I paid for!
[11:13] Esola
Was that the manager who
fell in the blast furnace?
[11:17] Esola
If it is...
[11:18] Neon
No.
[11:19] Esola
Huh?
[11:20] Neon
That isn't the person who fell in.
SIGN Yeah. That wasn't him.
[11:25] Chrom
His voice and body type do not
match the data in my memory.
[11:29] Kei
Try opening another file.
[11:31] Esola
O-Okay.
[11:36] Mister
Hmm? Looks like you booted up.
[11:39] Mister
This is a robot disposal facility.
[11:42] Mister
You're here to be dismantled...
Well, that was the plan,
[11:46] Mister
but it looks like you still work, so
I tweaked a few things and rebooted you.
[11:51] Ritz #9 D
How do you do? I am a Ritz No. 9.
[11:54] Ritz #9 D
I am an assist robot, designed
to support humans' daily lives.
[11:58] Mister
Ooh! Then I'll count on your assistance.
[12:02] Ritz #9 D
Please tell me your name.
[12:05] Mister
Ya sure aren't good at conversation.
Are you just a pile of junk?
[12:09] Mister
Or maybe I messed up the default settings.
[12:12] Ritz #9 D
Messed-up? Mes-tuh...
[12:15] Ritz #9 D
I will register your owner name as Mister.
[12:18] Mister
No, no, I'm just a manager here.
[12:22] Ritz #9 D
Mister, your orders?
[12:23] Ritz #9s
Please give us your work orders.
[12:31] Esola
Is this man...
SIGN That's the guy!
[12:34] Neon
They all called him Mister.
[12:36] Chrom
Let's investigate a little further.
[12:39] Mister
Huh? You lost a finger again?!
[12:43] Mister
And I just fixed the last one!
[12:45] Mister
You guys sure are piles of junk.
[12:49] Mister
You reduced this month's energy use
by 3000 points. Good job, junkpile!
[12:55] Mister
You're busted again?
[12:57] Mister
I'll fix you right up,
so don't worry, junkpile.
[13:06] (Flashback) Ritz #9 D
Mister.
[13:07] (Flashback) Mister
Oh, heya, junkpiles!
Come hang out while I drink.
[13:15] (Flashback) Mister
Sure is pretty.
[13:17] (Flashback) Mister
The moonlight is one thing
that never changes.
[13:21] (Flashback) Mister
You junkpiles were built for humans
who can't go out in the sun,
[13:27] (Flashback) Mister
and then you were knocked around and
thrown out without even getting fixed.
[13:33] (Flashback) Mister
Pretty much the same as humans.
[13:35] (Flashback) Mister
One person gets picked to
push other people around.
[13:39] (Flashback) Mister
Well, a loner like me who hates talking
to people is the real junkpile here.
[13:51] (Flashback) Mister
Anyway, I'll fix you guys up
as many times as it takes
[13:55] (Flashback) Mister
until you're ready to call it quits. Okay?
[14:00] (Flashback) Mister
Deal, junkpile?
[14:12] Esola
So that's why.
[14:14] Esola
He took very good care of you all.
[14:19] Neon
Hey, were there any bugs
that could cause an error?
[14:23] Chrom
I didn't see anything like that
in the data we examined.
[14:28] Ritz #9 D
There is a bug.
[14:30] Ritz #9 D
There is a program response in our
memory data that cannot be verbalized.
[14:35] Ritz #9 D
That is the bug.
[14:37] Ritz #9 D
When we attempt to verbalize it,
an error occurs.
[14:40] Kei
So when you try to talk about
the bug, you get an error?
[14:45] Ritz #9 D
Yes. It appeared when
we spent time with Mister.
[14:49] Ritz #9 D
Mister treated us differently
from o-o-our l-l-last o-owner...
[14:58] Esola
I wonder...
SIGN Do you mean you feel "lonely"?
[15:02] Ritz #9 D
D-Details unknown.
[15:04] Kei
You felt "fun," then?
[15:06] Chrom
Or are you "sad"?
[15:08] Neon
Or you "liked" him?
[15:10] Ritz #9 D
Details unknown.
[15:17] Esola
Maybe you were "surprised."
[15:20] Ritz #9 D
Surprised?
[15:22] Esola
After your previous owner beat you so badly,
[15:25] Esola
maybe you were surprised by
Mister's unexpected behavior.
[15:31] Ritz #9 D
Details unknown.
[15:33] Ritz #9 D
However, every time Mister called us
junkpiles and hit us, we thought,
[15:38] Ritz #9 D
w-w-w-we've never m-met
a h-human like th-this.
[15:48] Esola
Don't worry. I don't think the thing
inside you is an error or a bug.
SIGN Then what is it?
[15:57] Esola
Something none of you are supposed to have,
[16:01] Esola
but something I still believe you do.
[16:10] Esola
Anyway, now we know these robots
had no motive to push Mister off.
[16:17] Esola
I copied the relevant data, so we
should show it to a lot of people.
[16:22] Chrom
But how?
[16:23] Esola
Um, well...
[16:26] Neon
On social media?
[16:27] Kei
Who'd believe it there, though?
SIGN Show it to a lot of people...
SIGN Hmm.
SIGN Oh!
SIGN I got it! The fifth Stage!
[16:38] Esola
You mean tomorrow?
SIGN Yeah! The fifth Stage is the biggest show in Babel!
SIGN A whole lot of people will see it then!
[16:47] Kei
You mean play this guy's memory data there?
[16:51] Chrom
However, Babel is a performance space.
[16:54] Chrom
Can we play data files there?
[16:56] Ritz #9 D
Entertainment Tower Babel.
[17:00] Esola
Do you know it, too?
[17:01] Ritz #9 D
Yes. Mister showed us videos of it.
[17:05] Ritz #9 D
When he did, we learned something from him.
SIGN Learned something?
[17:23] Esola
The Ritz No. 9 robots are making...
[17:26] Neon
A rhythm!
[17:34] Esola
This is...
SIGN It's music!
[19:03] Esola
Awesome! That was awesome, guys!
SIGN That was so much fun!
[19:08] Chrom
I've never felt like this before!
[19:11] Esola
This was a "surprise," too!
[19:13] Ritz #9 D
I wish Mister c-could
have s-seen i-it himself.
[19:22] Esola
Mr. Bora?
[19:24] Bora
What are you all doing here?
[19:27] Kei
We could ask the same of you!
[19:29] Bora
I have come to salvage evidence to
reinvestigate the blast furnace incident.
[19:34] Cop A
Damn, there were this many left?
[19:37] Cop B
More than we thought.
[19:39] Ritz #9 D
We were told by Mister to
keep the factory running.
[19:44] Ritz #9 D
If you have new instructions,
please issue an operation request.
[19:48] Esola
What are you doing?
[19:53] Kei
Hey! How dare you!
SIGN Stop! Please stop!
SIGN Don't shoot!
[20:06] Esola
Please stop it!
[20:07] Esola
These robots haven't done anything wrong!
SIGN He's right! Quit bullying them!
[20:13] Bora
This order comes from the top.
I cannot stop it on-site.
[20:18] Esola
Oh, no!
[20:24] Esola
Guys...
[20:28] Bora
Stand down immediately.
[20:30] Bora
Right now, you are all under
special police surveillance.
[20:34] Bora
You will be arrested for obstructing
official police business.
[20:39] Bora
An order to fire?
[20:40] Body voice
Remote control mode.
[20:42] Body voice
Your Body is now being controlled remotely.
[20:45] Esola
Mr. Bora?
[20:47] Bora
Why is this? They are under
special police surveillance.
[20:50] Bora
This situation does not
warrant an order to fire.
[20:54] Bora
So why am I...
[20:58] Esola
Stop it!
SIGN Huh?
[21:16] Esola
Cobalt?
[21:17] Chrom
Cobalt?!
[21:18] Kei
Hey!
[21:19] Neon
No way!
[21:20] Cop A
Detective Bora, we'll leave
the investigation subjects to you.
[21:25] Cop A
Detective Bora?
[21:27] Cop B
What a time to get an error.
[21:29] Cop B
We've got no choice. We need
to take them in, too.
[21:32] Cop A
The kid is human, so don't screw up.
[21:34] Cop B
Understood.
[21:35] Neon
Esola, stand back!
[21:42] Cop B
What's that?
[21:47] Cop A
Where's the smoke coming from?!
[21:49] Cop B
I can't see a thing!
[21:49] Neon
Esola, can you breathe?
[21:52] Esola
Yeah. Guys!
[21:56] Esola
It's you?
[21:57] Nobel
Shh.
[21:59] Nobel
Now, while we can.
[22:01] Cop B
Damn it! Where did they go?
[22:04] Cop A
Detective Bora, call
headquarters for backup! Hurry!
[22:10] Nobel
You're with me.

If we stay here, they'll find us right away.
[00:27] Neon
Should we go somewhere else?
[00:29] Kei
Where else would we go?
[00:31] Nobel
Eliza, set the home security to maximum.
[00:35] Eliza
Very well.
[00:53] Eliza
As of now, I am overwriting
your real-time location data
[00:57] Eliza
to prevent you from being tracked.
[00:59] Nobel
Eliza, turn off his GPS, too.
[01:03] Bora
Wait. My system is managed by the police.
[01:06] Bora
It's impossible to control externally.
[01:11] Bora
What in the world are you?
[01:16] Nobel
My name is Nobel,
and I am your steadfast ally.
SIGN Nobel
[01:22] Nobel
That's all you need to know for now.
[01:24] Nobel
More importantly, we need
to take care of him first.
SIGN Technoroid
[03:01] Denta
People of the world, good morning!
[03:03] Denta
You can't sleep all day, you know!
[03:06] Denta
Today's the day of Babel's fifth Stage!
[03:11] Denta
Which group will etch their names
into history? The champions STAND-ALONE,
[03:15] Denta
or their challengers, KNoCC?
[03:17] Denta
Don't miss the battle of the century!
[03:20] Kiriya
STAND-ALONE will win.
It has already been decided.
[03:25] Kite
I understand.
[03:26] Kiriya
We've arranged things this way
[03:29] Kiriya
to ensure our declaration reaches
as many viewers as possible.
[03:35] Kite
We'll beat KNoCC at the fifth Stage,
make the declaration,
[03:40] Kite
and then Nagi will...
[03:45] Light
Phew. Well, that's that.
[03:46] Night
Yeah. Let's go, let's go.
[03:51] Kite
And then Nagi will get her surgeries, right?
[03:55] Kiriya
Of course she will. That is
the agreement we made.
[04:02] Light
What's that about?
[04:03] Light
Who were you talking to?
[04:05] Night
What about Nagi's surgery?
[04:10] Kite
Just focus on the fifth Stage for now.
[04:14] Night
Kite...
[04:16] Kite
I want a proper fight against them.
[04:19] Kite
That's what I truly want.
[04:29] Nobel
I checked Cobalt's condition.
[04:32] Nobel
The damage to his Body
isn't as awful as it looks.
[04:36] Nobel
The problem is inside.
[04:38] Nobel
The part of the chest where he was
shot contains a storage device.
[04:44] Nobel
Basically, that's where his
memory data is stored, but...
[04:48] Esola
Nothing shows up on the display.
Does that mean...
[04:52] Nobel
Yes. The index has been lost.
[04:56] Esola
Oh, no.
[04:57] Kei
Index?
[04:58] Esola
It keeps the links that show
what data is stored where.
[05:04] Esola
When you delete a file from a computer,
you don't actually erase the data.
[05:09] Esola
You just cut the link
between the index and data
[05:12] Esola
so you can't see it from the outside anymore.
[05:14] Esola
And then, the data that's
been cut from the index...
[05:18] Nobel
...is eventually erased.
[05:21] Kei
Meaning Cobalt's memory data is at risk.
[05:25] Neon
Can't you rebuild the lost index?
[05:28] Esola
Like I just said, if you can't see
the data, there's no way to re-link it.
[05:34] Kei
So we're out of options?
[05:39] Esola
Cobalt...
[05:42] Nobel
There is one thing we could try.
[05:45] Nobel
If we can't access it from the outside...
[05:49] Esola
We should approach from the inside.
[05:52] Chrom
From the inside?
[05:53] Nobel
It's impossible for humans, but for
similar models with the same specs...
[05:58] Nobel
Basically, for you guys, it's possible.
[06:01] Neon
I'm in.
[06:02] Kei
What do we do?
[06:03] Nobel
I'll send your data into Cobalt's memory.
[06:08] Nobel
Search inside to locate his missing
data and pick up his memories.
[06:12] Chrom
Understood.
[06:13] Neon
Let's get started—
[06:14] Esola
It's too dangerous!
[06:19] Esola
You're putting the data of three people
into one person's memory.
[06:24] Esola
We don't know how much of a strain
that will put on you or Cobalt.
[06:30] Kei
Even then...
[06:34] Kei
If Cobalt was in our position,
I know he'd dive in headfirst.
[06:43] Chrom
This may sound simplistic,
[06:45] Chrom
but right now we could
learn from his determination.
[06:49] Neon
Don't worry. I promise we'll come back.
[06:53] Esola
You guys...
[06:55] Bora
Why would you go that far?
[06:57] Neon
We don't need a reason to help someone.
[07:00] Neon
I think that's what Cobalt would say.
[07:06] Esola
All right. I'll take care
of the Body repairs.
[07:13] Chrom
Transfer mode preparations complete.
[07:15] Chrom
All ready here.
[07:16] Kei
All ready.
[07:18] Neon
All ready.
[07:20] Chrom
Standing by.
[07:22] Nobel
When you pick up memory data,
[07:25] Nobel
I'll apply a recovery program from here
and reconnect it to the index.
[07:29] Kei; Neon; Chrom
Roger.
[07:31] Nobel
But since his memory will be strained
by all of your additional data,
[07:36] Nobel
it's possible he'll overheat.
[07:38] Nobel
We have no way to predict what may happen.
[07:41] Nobel
Communication between us
will also become difficult.
[07:44] Kei
So we'll have to work it out as we go.
[07:47] Esola
Please try to be safe, guys.
[07:50] Kei
Yeah.
[08:01] Kei
Are we inside his memory?
[08:05] Neon
Esola? Can you hear me?
[08:11] Chrom
It seems we can't send messages after all.
[08:14] Kei
It's like a big night sky.
[08:16] Chrom
Isn't it more like outer space?
[08:20] Neon
So pretty.
[08:30] (Flashback) Cobalt
It's ready!
[08:32] (Flashback) Cobalt
Perfect, right? Right?
[08:35] (Flashback) Kei
Fail.
[08:36] (Flashback) Neon
That's a fail.
[08:37] (Flashback) Chrom
That's a perfect failure.
[08:39] (Flashback) Cobalt
What?!
[08:49] Neon
That's from the day he made Esola breakfast.
[08:53] Kei
So these stars are Cobalt's memory data?
[08:58] Neon
"Pick up complete?"
[09:00] Chrom
I see. When we touch a star,
we pick up its memory.
[09:04] Neon
You mean we need all of those?
[09:08] Kei
Let's go get 'em!
[09:20] Nobel
It looks like they've begun.
[09:22] Esola
Don't worry, Cobalt.
Everyone's doing their best.
[09:27] Esola
I will, too.
SIGN Technoroid
[09:40] Neon
Yah!
[09:41] Chrom
Hah!
[09:42] Kei
Gotcha!
[09:46] (Flashback) Cobalt
Let's watch my show next!
[09:48] (Flashback) Neon
No way! You said I could pick today!
[09:55] (Flashback) Chrom
Cobalt...
[09:58] (Flashback) Neon
Wait, Cobalt, are you okay?
[10:01] (Flashback) Cobalt
I'm good, I'm good!
[10:02] (Flashback) Chrom
Be careful!
[10:03] (Flashback) Kei
Hey, let me drive!
[10:05] (Flashback) Cobalt
No, I got it!
[10:06] (Flashback) All four
Aah!
[10:11] Neon
Geez. Cobalt's memory is full of weird stuff.
[10:14] Chrom
So far I've counted 300 times
that he interrupted my reading.
[10:19] Kei
I told him he should let me drive!
[10:23] Neon
He's always playing pranks!
[10:25] Chrom
Constantly distracting me!
[10:28] Kei
Man, he gives us so much trouble!
[10:35] (Flashback) Cobalt
Neon!
[10:36] (Flashback) Cobalt
Neon...
[10:37] (Flashback) Cobalt
Chrom?
[10:38] (Flashback) Cobalt
Chrom! Chrom! Chrom!
[10:39] (Flashback) Cobalt
Kei?
[10:40] (Flashback) Cobalt
Kei!
[10:43] (Flashback) Cobalt
We're a family, right?
[10:53] Kei
When this is over, I'm gonna
give him a piece of my mind.
[10:58] Kei
Abandoning his family and disappearing on us?
[11:00] Kei
What was he thinking?
[11:03] Chrom
You're right.
[11:04] Neon
Yeah.
[11:07] Kei
All that's left are those big stars.
[11:20] Neon
Nothing happened.
[11:22] Kei
What's going on?
[11:56] Neon
Oh, wow!
[11:57] Chrom
We can pick up the larger memory
data if we all touch them together.
[12:02] Neon
That makes sense.
[12:03] Kei
All right, next one!
SIGN Quit building robots!
Take back our human dignity!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
SIGN Go away!!
SIGN TRASH!
SIGN Disappear!
SIGN Robots are TRASH!
[12:49] (Flashback) Neon
This is how much I like you.
[13:21] Chrom
The thought of Cobalt leaving makes me sad.
[13:52] Kei
I can't sit by and watch
someone I care about fall apart.
[13:57] Kei
I promise I'll bring you back!
[14:26] Kei
We'll do that together again! Lots of times!
[14:42] Chrom
Esola wishes that you'd
come back too, Cobalt!
[15:18] Neon
Without Cobalt, I'd be lonely. So lonely.
[15:22] Neon
That's why...
[15:25] Neon
You have to wake up, Cobalt!
[15:27] Chrom
Cobalt!
[15:29] Kei
Cobalt!
[15:37] Kei
Is it over?
[15:39] Neon
Will Cobalt get better now?
[15:42] Chrom
Yes, he should.
[15:43] Kei
All right!
[15:45] Neon
Kei!
[15:49] Chrom
Kei, don't you know your own strength?
[15:54] Kei
Sorry, my bad.
[15:59] Kei
What's wrong?
[16:01] Chrom
Oh. It looks like there was one left.
[16:05] Neon
That should be the last one, right?
[16:08] Kei
Geez, Cobalt. Giving us
trouble right up to the end.
[16:13] Neon
Let's wrap this up.
[16:15] Kei
Yeah.
[16:20] Esola
Phew.
[16:22] Esola
Finished.
[16:25] Esola
I'm done, Caron.
[16:27] Esola
Let's go check on everyone else.
[16:36] Esola
Mr. Bora...
[16:37] Bora
Rest for a bit.
[16:46] Esola
Sorry I made you worry.
[16:51] Esola
Thank you, Mr. Bora.
[16:53] Bora
Oh, it's nothing.
[17:00] Bora
Wh-Wh-What is th-this...?
[17:06] Esola
Mr. Bora?
[17:11] Esola
Is something wrong?
[17:12] Bora
No, I'm fine. No problem.
[17:17] Bora
What happened?
[17:19] Nobel
The extreme burden on the memory
is making the CPU overheat.
[17:23] Nobel
If this keeps up, they're all in danger.
[17:25] Esola
Huh?
[17:29] Kei
Damn it!
[17:31] Neon
We aren't moving!
[17:33] Chrom
It's just a little further!
[17:34] Kei
You gotta be kidding!
[17:51] Kei
Cobalt...
[17:56] Chrom
No, don't!
[17:57] Neon
Wait!
[17:59] Kei
Don't disappear, Cobalt!
[18:01] Neon
Stay here!
[18:03] Chrom
With us!
[18:13] Neon
Cobalt!
[18:14] Chrom
Cobalt!
[18:17] Esola
Guys!
[18:18] Neon
There was only one left!
[18:20] Chrom
I can't believe we didn't make it.
[18:22] Kei
Damn it!
[18:23] Chrom
At this rate, Cobalt...
[18:26] Nobel
Even if he woke up, Cobalt
wouldn't be himself anymore.
[18:33] Esola
Oh, no. Cobalt...
[18:37] Nobel
However...
[18:39] Nobel
What if a substitute
downloads the lost memory data?
[18:44] Kei
A substitute?
[18:46] Bora
It shouldn't be possible to
back up all of an Android's data.
[18:51] Nobel
It would essentially be a replacement.
[18:55] Esola
Where would we find that?
[18:57] Nobel
The key to saving him is in your hands.
[19:01] Esola
Me?
[19:05] Esola
What is this supposed to be for, then?
[19:09] Esola
The contents of the letter are damaged.
[19:13] Esola
I'm still trying to fix it.
[19:15] Nobel
It's written in here—
[19:17] Nobel
the place where this has to be applied.
[19:20] Esola
Be applied?
[19:21] Nobel
The important thing isn't what it says,
[19:25] Nobel
it's in how you use it.
[19:28] Esola
What are you doing?
[19:43] Chrom
That's our address here!
SIGN To Esola
SIGN Please deliver this letter to the location below.
SIGN Hakushu Shibaura
[19:54] Nobel
This letter was undoubtedly meant for you.
[19:59] Esola
Does that mean...
[20:01] Nobel
You should already know
what you need to play.
[20:17] Esola
Is it this?
[20:38] Neon
What's that?
[20:40] Kei
There's a way down there?
[20:43] Nobel
All right, let's go.
[20:45] Esola
Please, wait a second!
[20:47] Esola
Mr. Nobel, who in the world are you?
[20:52] Nobel
I was created for a specific purpose.
[20:57] Nobel
I'm a support Android.
[20:59] Chrom
A support Android?
[21:02] Nobel
Yes.
[21:03] Nobel
Your adoptive father, Professor
Hakushu Shibaura, built me himself.
[21:09] Esola
Father did?
[21:16] MC Denta
It's the long-awaited fifth Stage!
[21:18] MC Denta
But STAND-ALONE has unbelievably won
by default because KNoCC was a no-show!
[21:24] MC Denta
STAND-ALONE maintains their dominance!
[21:29] Kite
Why didn't KNoCC show up?!
[21:31] Kiriya
We didn't expect this, either.
[21:33] Kiriya
The announcement came late, and now this...
[21:38] Kite
What happens to Nagi?
[21:40] Kiriya
Since you didn't make the declaration,
I cannot honor our agreement.
[21:44] Kiriya
The surgeries will be put on hold.
[21:47] Kite
Nagi's running out of—
[21:49] Kiriya
Is that the attitude you should be taking?
[22:01] Kiriya
It seems we will have to
come up with another option.

This is Professor Shibaura's laboratory.

He was a leading authority

[00:17] Nobel
I was modeled on Professor Shibaura
and now carry out his orders.
[00:24] Esola

To give support. To help with
their emotional development.
[00:32] Nobel
All right, let's get ready to wake Cobalt up.
SIGN Technoroid
[02:08] Chrom
We weren't able to recover
the last part of Cobalt's memory data.
[02:13] Nobel
Your activity history is
saved in this main server.
[02:19] Nobel
Since you all were with Cobalt, if we tie
your memory data into his activity history,
[02:24] Nobel
we can artificially recreate Cobalt's memory.
[02:28] Nobel
Will you help us, too?
[02:29] Bora
Me?
[02:31] Bora
But I...
[02:35] Bora
There is a disruption in part
of my thought processes.
[02:38] Bora
Unable to determine cause.
[02:40] Nobel
If you assist, you should be able to
uncover the cause of that phenomenon.
[02:49] Esola
My memory, too?
[02:50] Nobel
Yes.
[02:52] Nobel
The more memories of Cobalt we can access,
the more precise the recreation will be.
[02:57] Nobel
Let's begin.
[02:58] Nobel
Bora, synchronize the timing.
[03:01] Bora
Synchronizing everyone's time
codes. Marking segno point.
[03:09] Nobel
Commence memory data download.
[03:23] Bora
Download complete.
[03:26] Nobel
We've collected all of your memories.
[03:29] Nobel
Now we just have to wait for
Cobalt's memory to be reconstructed.
[03:33] Nobel
Let's have faith in the system
Professor Shibaura developed.
[03:36] Chrom
Professor Shibaura,
the scientist who built us...
[03:41] Esola
Dad built you...
[03:43] Kei
What a coincidence that we met Esola,
the son of the professor who created us,
[03:48] Kei
and became a family like this.
[03:50] Neon
It's so crazy! Must've been fate!
[03:53] Esola
I wasn't really close to Dad,
[03:57] Esola
and didn't think this thing
had anything to do with me.
[04:01] Esola
But thanks to this, I met you all.
[04:05] Kei
That's right. The gift from the professor
is what brought us together.
[04:11] Chrom
The odds of us meeting
were astronomically small.
[04:14] Esola
It's a miracle. Dad sent us
a miracle from heaven!
[04:20] Nobel
No, it wasn't.
[04:22] Nobel
It wasn't fate or a miracle.
[04:25] Nobel
This was Professor Shibaura's will.
[04:29] Esola
Will?
[04:30] Nobel
The plan went off course a little,
but this is the final step.
[04:35] Nobel
Listen to what I tell you.
[04:37] Nobel
There is something I need you all to know.
[04:44] Nobel
It was 17 years ago, in 2078 A.D.
[04:48] Nobel
The setting was a university
cybernetics laboratory.
[04:53] Chrom
This imagery must be from
the reconstructed memories.
[04:57] Esola
Dad?
[04:59] Kei
That's Professor Hakushu Shibaura?
[05:02] Nobel
The professor was studying artificial
intelligence installed in robots.
[05:20] Esola; Chrom; Kei
Eliza?!
[05:22] Neon
No, something's different.
[05:24] Nobel
Her name was Elizabeth.
[05:26] Nobel
She was a 21-year-old student
working at the laboratory.
[05:30] (Flashback) Hakushu
Oh, h-hello, Elizabeth.
[05:33] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Professor, working too hard
is bad for your health.
[05:37] (Flashback) Hakushu
Ah, well, I lost track of time.
[05:40] (Flashback) Elizabeth
No matter how important the research,
you won't be able to continue if you get sick.
[05:45] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yeah, sorry.
[05:47] (Flashback) Elizabeth
I brought you a late dinner.
You should at least try to eat something.
[05:51] (Flashback) Hakushu
Thanks.
[05:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
But, this...
[05:56] (Flashback) Hakushu
This program code... what a marvelous idea!
[06:00] (Flashback) Hakushu
But if you do it this way, you should
raise the activation threshold.
[06:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
The Freud function and
Schopentwell routine need—
[06:07] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Professor!
[06:08] (Flashback) Hakushu
Ah, dinner. That's right.
[06:12] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Right!
[06:13] Neon
Wow, she's cute. Unlike Eliza.
[06:17] Nobel
Elizabeth was a talented student.
[06:20] Nobel
After graduation, she stayed at the lab
[06:22] Nobel
and assisted the professor
in his research on robots.
[06:27] Nobel
With Elizabeth's help,
Professor Shibaura worked
[06:31] Nobel
on an artificial intelligence model
that was based on her personality.
[06:36] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Incorrect. Dogs and cats
are different animals.
[06:40] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
However, judging by their many similarities,
[06:43] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
it is highly likely that dogs
and cats are identical creatures.
[06:47] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
The number of legs, position
of eyes, ears, and tails,
[06:51] (Flashback) CGI Elizabeth
silhouettes, mammalian
characteristics, body weight...
[06:54] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Put a cork in it!
[06:55] (Flashback) Hakushu
Elizabeth, the AI can't keep up
with sudden changes in emotion
[06:59] (Flashback) Hakushu
and will likely become confused.
[07:02] (Flashback) Elizabeth
My bad! I mean, I'm sorry
about that! I just...
[07:06] (Flashback) Hakushu
You have to be diligent when training AI.
[07:09] (Flashback) Hakushu
If you overwhelm it, it won't
develop a good personality.
[07:14] (Flashback) Elizabeth
It's just like a human child.
[07:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yes, this is something like our child.
[07:21] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Yes.
[07:24] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Professor?
[07:25] (Flashback) Hakushu
Uh, yes?
[07:26] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Lost in thought again?
[07:28] (Flashback) Hakushu
Uh, training AI is actually just
like raising human children.
[07:35] (Flashback) Hakushu
Basically, we have to teach them
what is most important to people.
SIGN "Relationships"
[07:40] (Flashback) Hakushu
Relationships.
SIGN "Affection"
[07:41] (Flashback) Hakushu
Affection.
SIGN "Good judgment"
[07:43] (Flashback) Hakushu
Good judgment.
SIGN "Culture"
[07:45] (Flashback) Hakushu
Culture.
[07:46] (Flashback) Hakushu
I want to instill these four qualities
as the key to a happy life.
[07:51] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Will high intelligence alone allow
them to develop these concepts?
[07:56] (Flashback) Hakushu
What do you mean?
[07:57] (Flashback) Elizabeth
How do I put it? I feel like they may
need something beyond intelligence.
[08:02] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Something like a soul. Or a heart.
[08:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
A heart?
[08:07] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Oh, excuse me!
That was extremely unscientific.
SIGN "Relationships" "Affection" "Good judgment" "Culture"
[08:10] (Flashback) Hakushu
No, that's quite a unique idea!
Program AI with a heart?
[08:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
If we succeed, it would be
a major historical achievement!
[08:19] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Professor...
[08:20] (Flashback) Hakushu
Let's try it, Elizabeth!
[08:22] (Flashback) Elizabeth
All right!

Private mode on.
[08:32] (Flashback) Hakushu
How are you doing these days?
[08:34] (Flashback) Eliza
How am I doing?
[08:36] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yes, well, I mean...
[08:38] (Flashback) Hakushu
You were modeled after Elizabeth, so
your thoughts resemble hers somewhat.
[08:45] (Flashback) Eliza
Yes, I likely resemble Elizabeth somewhat.
[08:48] (Flashback) Hakushu
With that in mind, what do you think of me?
[08:52] (Flashback) Eliza
You are a respected professor.
[08:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
Anything else?
[08:55] (Flashback) Hakushu
I mean, as the opposite sex?
[08:58] (Flashback) Hakushu
What do you think of me as a man?
[09:00] (Flashback) Eliza
I have not seen enough samples of men
to provide a reliable evaluation.
[09:04] (Flashback) Hakushu
You don't need more.
Just make a rough estimate.
[09:07] (Flashback) Eliza
With estimates to supplement missing data...
[09:10] (Flashback) Hakushu
Just use the data you have!
[09:12] (Flashback) Eliza
A total of 83 points.
[09:14] (Flashback) Hakushu
That's fine, that's fine!
[09:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
And what if, what if I proposed
marriage? What would you do?
[09:21] (Flashback) Hakushu
If you were the real Elizabeth, that is?
[09:24] (Flashback) Eliza
If I estimate by imagining
myself in her place...

Delete conversation history.
[09:32] (Flashback) Hakushu
Deactivate private mode.

O-Oh, Elizabeth.
You're certainly early today.
[09:41] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Yes, I have something I wanted to tell you.
[09:45] (Flashback) Hakushu
Oh? What is it?
[09:47] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Well, actually...
[09:49] (Flashback) Elizabeth
I'm getting married!
[09:54] (Flashback) Elizabeth
I wanted to tell you first, Professor!
[09:58] (Flashback) Hakushu
O-Oh, is that right?
How nice. Congratulations!
[10:01] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Yes, thank you very much!
[10:03] (Flashback) Eliza
Congratulations, Elizabeth.
[10:06] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Thanks, Eliza!

That really means a lot to me!

This isn't the answer I need!

My calculations... these aren't right!
[10:30] (Flashback) Hakushu
They aren't right!
[10:42] (Flashback) Hakushu
Pretty funny, huh?
[10:44] (Flashback) Eliza
Did something amusing occur?
[10:47] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yes, it did. Something very amusing.
[10:50] (Flashback) Eliza
Is that right? How nice.
[10:53] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yeah. Go ahead and laugh.
Let's just laugh about it all.
[11:02] (Flashback) Hakushu
Any way I look at it, you're
a far cry from the real Elizabeth.
[11:09] (Flashback) Eliza
Is there anything I can help with?
[11:11] (Flashback) Hakushu
No. You'll never be her.
[11:14] (Flashback) Eliza
I am sorry to be so insufficient.
[11:19] (Flashback) Hakushu
Eliza, you'll never become Elizabeth.
[11:23] (Flashback) Hakushu
No, wait a minute.
[11:26] (Flashback) Hakushu
I shouldn't have tried to remake her.
[11:29] (Flashback) Hakushu
I should have just copied her as is!
[11:32] (Flashback) Hakushu
That's it! If I download her
memory directly as data,
[11:37] (Flashback) Hakushu
and then feed that into the AI,
[11:39] (Flashback) Hakushu
the memory-based behavioral patterns should
more closely resemble the real person!
SIGN Technoroid
[11:49] (Flashback) Hakushu
I will now proceed with
the 38th memory download test.
[11:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
I upgraded the probe that
had problems last time
[11:56] (Flashback) Hakushu
and am hoping for faster transfer speeds.
[11:59] (Flashback) Hakushu
Three, two, one, start.
[12:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
Download in progress.
[12:07] (Flashback) Hakushu
The transfer is moving along fine—
[12:14] (Flashback) Hakushu
Eliza! Emergency stop!
[12:17] (Flashback) Eliza
Understood. Stopping experiment.
[12:22] (Flashback) Hakushu
The stress on the cranial nerves and
central nervous system is too great.
[12:28] (Flashback) Hakushu
It still needs improvement.
SIGN 2082 - 13 Years Ago
[12:42] (Flashback) Hakushu
It's no good.
[12:44] (Flashback) Hakushu
Memory alone isn't enough
to recreate the human heart.
[12:48] (Flashback) Hakushu
Emotions don't stay
attached to the memories.
[12:54] (Flashback) Eliza
Professor, why don't you take a short rest?
[12:58] (Flashback) Hakushu
Don't worry about me.
[12:59] (Flashback) Eliza
Working too hard is bad for your health.
[13:02] (Flashback) Hakushu
I said leave me alone!
[13:04] (Flashback) Eliza
But...
[13:07] (Flashback) Hakushu
That's strange. Why are you
concerning yourself with me?
[13:10] (Flashback) Eliza
Why? Well, that's...
[13:12] (Flashback) Eliza
That's because I... Professor... Profes—
[13:20] (Flashback) Hakushu
Eliza is supposed to be analyzing
the recalled Ritz No. 9 robot right now.
[13:27] (Flashback) Hakushu
The Ritz No. 9 models have also been exhibiting
aberrant responses to instructions.
[13:32] (Flashback) Hakushu
To leave room for expansion, I did equip them
[13:35] (Flashback) Hakushu
with a large amount of
unused quantum memory.
[13:39] (Flashback) Hakushu
Wait a minute. A large portion of
the human brain also goes unused.
[13:44] (Flashback) Hakushu
Is that connected to what's happening here?
[13:47] (Flashback) Hakushu
What if the quantum memory accessed
higher-dimensional space-time?
[13:52] (Flashback) Hakushu
And what if it assembled
something like a soul there,
[13:54] (Flashback) Hakushu
something imperceptible to humans?
[13:57] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yes, like a heart!
[14:01] (Flashback) Hakushu
If I use those quantum bits
as an antenna to access that space,
[14:05] (Flashback) Hakushu
AI should be able to develop a heart!
[14:07] (Flashback) Hakushu
And this program should activate it!
[14:10] (Flashback) Hakushu
I'll call it the Heart Program!
[14:14] (Flashback) Hakushu
Eliza, soon I'll be able to turn you
into the real Elizabeth!
[14:22] (Flashback) Hakushu
Yes?
[14:24] (Flashback) Elizabeth
It's been quite a while, Professor.
[14:27] (Flashback) Hakushu
Elizabeth.
[14:29] (Flashback) Hakushu
A baby?
[14:30] (Flashback) Elizabeth
This is Esola.
[14:34] (Flashback) Hakushu
E...Sola?
[14:35] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Esola, this is Professor Shibaura.
[14:38] (Flashback) Hakushu
Oh, I see. It's Esola.
[14:40] (Flashback) Hakushu
Someday you'll be as lovely as your mother.
[14:43] (Flashback) Elizabeth
Oh, dear. He's a boy!
[14:45] (Flashback) Hakushu
Oh... Oh, is he? Esola, huh?
[15:03] (Flashback) Hakushu
At first, I tried to raise you
like a human baby.
[15:08] (Flashback) Hakushu
Elizabeth and I developed you together.
I thought of you as our child.
[15:14] (Flashback) Eliza
Yes, I remember that.
[15:16] (Flashback) Hakushu
But now, she has...
[15:21] (Flashback) Hakushu
Elizabeth has become a mother.
[15:25] (Flashback) Hakushu
She's happily raising her own baby.
[15:28] (Flashback) Hakushu
And here I am, still unable to—
[15:34] (Flashback) Hakushu
The memory download is too great
a strain on the human body.
[15:43] (Flashback) Hakushu

[15:47] (Flashback) Hakushu
What?!
[15:52] (Flashback) Hakushu
Elizabeth is...!
[15:55] Nobel
Yes, that was the end of Elizabeth.
[16:00] Kei
The end?
[16:01] Nobel
A traffic accident.
[16:03] Nobel
Both Elizabeth and her husband died instantly.
[16:07] Chrom
Oh, no.
[16:09] Nobel
Esola, who had been with his nurse,
was left behind all alone.
[16:14] Esola
All alone?
[16:17] Nobel
Since you had lost your family, Professor
Shibaura took you under his care.
[16:23] (Flashback) Hakushu
This is Elizabeth's real child.
[16:27] (Flashback) Hakushu
I'll raise him as his father.
[16:31] (Flashback) Hakushu
If I become his parent like Elizabeth,
that will bring me even closer to her!
[16:36] (Flashback) Hakushu
For that, I'll raise this child
to be a perfect human.
[16:41] (Flashback) Hakushu
However, there are many things that I lack.
[16:44] (Flashback) Hakushu
I have to search for people to educate Esola.
[16:47] (Flashback) Hakushu
Search for young people who
excel in the following:
SIGN "Relationships"
[16:51] (Flashback) Hakushu
First person: relationships.
SIGN "Affection"
[16:53] (Flashback) Hakushu
Second person: affection.
SIGN "Good judgment"
[16:55] (Flashback) Hakushu
Third person: good judgment.
SIGN "Culture"
[16:57] (Flashback) Hakushu
Fourth person: culture.
[17:00] (Flashback) Eliza
Search complete.
[17:02] (Flashback) Eliza
The person who excels in
relationships is Kota Osaka.
[17:07] Esola
Is that...?
[17:08] Neon
He looks just like Cobalt.
[17:10] (Flashback) Eliza
Kota was raised in an orphanage
and now lives alone.
[17:15] (Flashback) Eliza
He is not wealthy, but still supports
the institution where he was raised.
[17:19] (Flashback) Hakushu
So he cares about family.
That's perfect for "relationships."
[17:23] (Flashback) Eliza
The person who excels at
affection is Solo Igami.
[17:28] Chrom
It's him!
[17:30] (Flashback) Eliza
Solo worked as an actor
performing for children,
[17:34] (Flashback) Eliza
and as retaliation against the cruelty
he endured when young,
[17:37] (Flashback) Eliza
he devotes himself to caring for children.
[17:40] (Flashback) Hakushu
Very fatherly. A good match for "affection."
[17:44] (Flashback) Eliza
The individual exhibiting
"good judgment" is Kanto Rindo.
[17:47] Chrom
Huh?
[17:48] Esola
It's Chrom!
[17:50] (Flashback) Eliza
Kanto skipped grades and entered
college early from the top of his class.
SIGN Research Paper Awards Ceremony
[17:53] (Flashback) Eliza
He needed scholarships because he was poor,
[17:57] (Flashback) Eliza
so he devoted himself to study and
presented a number of research papers.
[18:00] (Flashback) Hakushu
A scholar! He must have "good judgment."
[18:04] (Flashback) Eliza
The individual who excels
in culture is Neru Eboshi.
[18:08] Neon
That looks like me.
[18:10] (Flashback) Eliza
Neru has a strong artistic sense
[18:13] (Flashback) Eliza
and has released numerous works
and performances online.
[18:17] (Flashback) Eliza
He was bullied due to his unique personality,
[18:20] (Flashback) Eliza
so he developed a strong sense of independence
and a respect for personal expression.
[18:24] (Flashback) Hakushu
An artist, huh. That is someone
well versed in "culture."
[18:28] (Flashback) Hakushu
I'll bring these four together
to help with Esola.
[18:31] (Flashback) Hakushu
Call them all here!
[18:41] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
Esola, c'mon over here!
[18:42] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
Run for it, Esola!
[18:46] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
Watch out, Esola!
[18:48] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
Be careful!
[18:50] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
Gotcha.
[18:52] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
Up you go!
[18:53] (Flashback) Esola (kid)
Whee!
[18:54] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
You sure are getting big!
[18:55] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
Well, sure! Three years will do that.
[19:00] (Flashback) Esola (kid)
Wow! Pretty!
[19:03] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
Red fireworks are created by
a chemical reaction with strontium.
[19:07] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
Huh? But isn't it cadmium red?
[19:09] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
That's a color of paint.
[19:12] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
That's funny, huh? Did you know that, Esola?
[19:15] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
Of course he knew...
that Neru's a weirdo. Right?
[19:19] (Flashback) Esola
Right!
[19:20] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
You're so mean!
[19:21] (Flashback) Esola (kid)
Neru's a weirdo!
[19:25] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
At first this was just a well-paying job,
[19:29] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
but it feels like I'm getting something
a lot more valuable than money.
[19:32] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
We should thank Professor Shibaura
for bringing us all together.
[19:36] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
He should've come with us today.
[19:39] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
He hasn't been feeling well, and it
seems his research has hit a dead end.
[19:43] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
It's a difficult time.
[19:44] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
What's happening?
[19:46] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
The World Government has been pressuring
him to stop because of ethical violations,
[19:51] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
saying that building a robot with a heart
is like a creating another human.
[19:57] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
That sounds complicated.
[19:59] (Flashback) Solo (Kei)
Huh? What's that?
[20:01] (Flashback) Kanto (Chrom)
It's coming from the robot market.
[20:03] (Flashback) Kota (Cobalt)
A fire?
[20:04] (Flashback) Neru (Neon)
I'll call the fire department.

[20:25] (Flashback) Eliza
Esola underwent a successful
surgery at the university hospital
[20:30] (Flashback) Eliza
and is being held in intensive care.
[20:32] (Flashback) Eliza
Kota, Solo, Kanto, and Neru have
an estimated 63% chance of recovery,
[20:38] (Flashback) Eliza
based on their vital data.
[20:41] (Flashback) Hakushu
We cannot afford to lose them!
[20:44] (Flashback) Hakushu
I don't have much longer to live,

[20:50] (Flashback) Hakushu
I'll download their memory data
and turn them into Androids.
[20:55] (Flashback) Hakushu
And then I'll make them raise Esola.
[20:57] (Flashback) Eliza
If you download their data now, they
will all die from the physical strain.

They must survive for Esola.
[21:20] Nobel
That is how Professor Shibaura
downloaded your memory data.
[21:25] Esola
And then what happened to them?!
[21:32] Nobel
Professor Shibaura left his laboratory
and began building four android bodies.
[21:39] Nobel
He installed the Heart program
into their advanced AI kernels,
[21:43] Nobel
and input their individual
characteristics as parameters.
[21:48] Nobel
However, he couldn't overcome his illness.
[21:51] Nobel
After he had built the Android Bodies,
[21:53] Nobel
but before he could upload
all of the memory data,
[21:56] Nobel
the professor collapsed.
[21:59] Nobel
That's why the four Androids had to
develop their hearts from square one.
[22:08] Esola
Is that... Is that really the...
[22:13] Nobel
I am a support Android that was built
to carry out Professor Shibaura's wishes.
[22:18] Nobel
In order to help develop the Heart
program installed in all of you,
[22:22] Nobel
I had you perform tasks that
would stimulate your Hearts.
[22:26] Nobel
Your Heart programs have developed steadily,
[22:30] Nobel
so you all are now able to act independently,
without an operation request.
[22:35] Nobel
This was all done for you, Esola, to help
you grow into the perfect human being.

Professor Shibaura's research
was also used to help raise you.
[00:14] (Flashback) Cobalt
It wasn't fate or a miracle that we met.
[00:18] (Flashback) Cobalt
It was all because of you.
[00:35] Esola
Kite?
SIGN Technoroid
[02:11] Takara
What about Bora's GPS?
[02:13] Lieutenant A
There's no signal.
[02:15] Takara
He ran into the surveillance subjects at
the site of the blast furnace incident.
[02:19] Takara
And we've heard nothing since.
[02:23] Takara
Then we get orders to shoot
the surveillance subjects
[02:26] Takara
when they aren't even our main targets?
[02:29] Takara
What the hell is going on?
[02:33] Kei
Despair.
[02:35] Chrom
This feeling.
[02:42] Neon
Esola!
[02:44] Kei
We'll figure this out later.
Let's go after him!
SIGN Wait, guys!
[02:48] Chrom
You've only just rebooted. Please stay here!
SIGN Why are they following that kid?
[02:59] Bora
Isn't it because he's Esola
Shibaura, your owner?
SIGN Huh? Owner?
[03:06] Bora
Doesn't he live with you?
SIGN No, he doesn't. It's just us four, Eliza, and Caron in the house—
SIGN Wait. Why is Caron here?
[03:19] (Flashback) Cobalt
Starting today, it's "I'm home!" Okay?
SIGN What was that?
[03:30] Nobel
A recollection that was lost with your memory
data then artificially reconstructed.
[03:37] Nobel
I bet it was about your
first encounter with Esola.
[03:42] Nobel
So, you must not be able to recall
your memories with Esola after that.
SIGN My first encounter with that kid?
[03:50] Nobel
And while your memory
was being reconstructed,
[03:54] Nobel
you happened to learn what "despair" is.
SIGN But should I really try to remember?
[04:02] Nobel
Why would you ask that?
SIGN Well, back when we were human, we all died helping him.
SIGN If we chase him now, something bad might happen again.
SIGN I'd better bring everyone back.
[04:21] Bora
Wait! You haven't fully recovered yet.
[04:30] Bora
You said I could uncover
the cause of this physical malfunction.
[04:37] Kite
Why didn't KNoCC show up for the fifth Stage?
[04:41] Kite
Why won't you say something, damn it?!
[04:45] Kite
I guess Climb Stages don't mean
anything to Androids, after all.
[04:51] Kite
And because of you guys, Nagi won't...!
[04:54] (Flashback) B Cobalt
It was all because of you.
[04:58] Kite
We don't have any time left!
[04:59] Esola
Because... of me.
[05:03] Kite
Hey, what's wrong? Hey!
[05:11] Kei
Did he go that way?
[05:12] Neon
No, he isn't there.
[05:15] Chrom
Where in the world could Esola have gone?
SIGN Guys!
[05:22] Kei
Cobalt? Is it okay for you to move around?
SIGN Forget that. It's too dangerous outside!
SIGN Guys, we need to go home right now!
[05:31] Chrom
But we still haven't found Esola yet.
[05:34] Neon
I'm sure Esola is hurt.
[05:37] Neon
You said terrible things to him!
[05:39] Kei
We'll apologize together, so you look th—
SIGN It was all that kid's fault!
[05:45] Chrom
"That kid"?
[05:47] Chrom
Cobalt, you can't mean...
[05:51] Chrom
You don't remember who Esola is?
[05:56] Cop A
Found them!
[05:57] Kei
Damn it!
[05:59] Cop A
Halt!
[06:00] Cop B
Stop right there!
[06:10] Nobel
The physical malfunction you're experiencing
[06:12] Nobel
also appeared in the Ritz No. 9 robots
that Professor Shibaura designed,
[06:17] Nobel
including the Ritz No. 9 suspected of
shoving Mister in the blast furnace incident.
[06:24] Nobel
You do have something in common with them.
SIGN Robot Inclusionists Demand Revisions to Constitution
Exclusionists Refuse, Leading to Demonstrations
[06:28] Bora
Something in common?
[06:31] Nobel
You both have a huge amount
of unused, supplemental memory.
[06:36] Nobel
It's a one-to-nine ratio. The same
amount goes unused in the human brain.
[06:41] Bora
Professor Shibaura said something
about that in the memory videos.
[06:46] Bora
That it's possible something like a soul
could develop in that unused space.
[06:53] Bora
However...
[06:54] Nobel
Why don't we test that theory?
[06:57] Nobel
This main server contains activity records
[07:00] Nobel
for all of the robot models that
Professor Shibaura developed.
[07:04] Nobel
If we compare your movement data
and the Ritz No. 9 robots' data,
[07:10] Nobel
we might be able to find
the answer you're after.
[07:15] Nobel
Did you already find it?
[07:17] Bora
No, but I did find something else.
[07:26] Kite
How are you feeling?
[07:29] Kite
You collapsed and were out for a while.
[07:36] Esola
Thank you.
[07:42] Kite
You were saying that
everything is your fault.
[07:46] Esola
It is my fault that... everyone...
[07:55] Chrom
Are you okay, Neon?
[07:58] Neon
I'm okay. It just grazed me.
[08:01] Neon
But we still need to hurry and find Esola.
SIGN It was his fault, after all.
SIGN It's the same thing the memory footage showed.
SIGN Just like when we were humans, it's that kid's fault that we all...
[08:17] Kite
Died?
[08:18] Kite
What do you mean?
[08:37] Esola
I...
[08:40] Esola
I might only make them unhappy again.
SIGN I know it now.
SIGN I don't want my memories of meeting that kid anymore.
SIGN Because...
[08:56] Esola
I can't... I can't forgive myself.
SIGN We never should have...
[09:05] Esola
...met in the first place!
SIGN You guys think so too, right?
[09:18] Kei
Cobalt!
[09:21] Kei
How could you?!
[09:26] Neon
You're disgusting.
[09:29] Kei
Hey.
[09:30] Chrom
Neon?
[09:31] Neon
How? How could you say that, Cobalt?!
SIGN But I...
[09:35] Neon
You're the one who kept saying
that Esola was family!
SIGN Family?
[09:43] Chrom
Certainly, when we heard about
what happened to us as humans,
[09:47] Chrom
I did feel pain in my chest.
[09:49] Neon
It never stung that much before.
SIGN So you do...
[09:53] Kei
But that isn't the same as saying
we never should have met!
[09:59] Kei
The reason we're here is because we know
our meeting with Esola was all planned!
[10:07] Chrom
It wasn't fate.
[10:09] Neon
It wasn't a miracle, either.
[10:11] Kei
That's why we're feeling this pain.
SIGN What do you mean? I can't...
[10:21] Chrom
Please try to remember. You always
used to feel the same things that we did.
SIGN I did... too?
[10:30] Chrom
Yes. You're the one who
said Esola was family.
[10:34] Chrom
You must understand how much that
encounter with Esola meant to us all.
[10:49] (Flashback) Esola shadow
All of you are really...
[11:00] Neon
Cobalt!
[11:10] Esola
Cobalt.
[11:16] Neon
Esola!
[11:18] Esola
Guys.
[11:21] Kite
Did something happen to you all?
[11:30] Neon
Police?
[11:31] Chrom
No, that's...
[11:33] Kite
The World Government.
[11:35] speaker voice
Mr. Esola Shibaura.
[11:37] speaker voice
We are taking you and your
four Androids into custody.
[11:41] speaker voice
You cannot refuse.
SIGN Technoroid
[11:46] Takara
Call off the search?!
[11:49] Takara
The World Government's taking over?
[11:52] Takara
Hold on, what about Bora—
[11:57] Takara
Damn it!
[11:58] Takara
What the hell have you gotten yourself into?
[12:04] Denta
Born to exist side-by-side with
humans and programmed to perfection,
[12:08] Denta
they're sure to become your
trusted partners in life!
[12:13] Kei
Hey! Let us outta here!
[12:15] Neon
Let us out!
[12:18] Chairperson
Come to order.
[12:21] Chairperson
Now, in accordance with
World Government regulations,
[12:24] Chairperson
we will begin our inquiry regarding measures
[12:26] Chairperson
against the four Androids
owned by Esola Shibaura.
[12:31] Chairperson
The four units presented as evidence
here are owned by you, Esola Shibaura.
[12:35] Chairperson
Is that correct?
[12:38] Esola
They aren't objects—
[12:44] Neon
Esola.
[12:48] Chairperson
Esola Shibaura, please answer the question.
[12:54] Esola
I am their owner.
[12:56] Chairperson
Very well.
[13:00] Esola
We saw these in the underground lab.
[13:03] Esola
How did they get these?
[13:05] Chairperson
The World Government once
ordered Professor Shibaura
[13:09] Chairperson
to halt his research into his Heart
program because of ethical violations.
[13:15] Chairperson
However, the Professor ignored that order
and continued his research in secret.
[13:22] Chairperson
Although the four units installed with
the Heart program were non-organic objects,
[13:25] Chairperson
they were unusual in that
they developed consciousness,
[13:30] Chairperson
leading to developments
that we could not ignore.
[13:36] Chairperson
The units are suspected
of enacting violence against citizens
[13:39] Chairperson
and plotting further attacks against humans.
[13:43] Chairperson
Furthermore, they broke into the scene
of the blast furnace incident,
[13:46] Chairperson
defied police instructions, and fled.
[13:49] Esola
Is this...
[13:51] Chairperson
This dangerous behavior is thought
to be caused by the Heart program.
[13:56] Neon
We haven't attacked anybody!
[13:59] Chrom
It would be impossible to begin with.
[14:01] Chrom
Androids are equipped
with interlock mechanisms.
[14:04] Chairperson
We will now hear testimony
regarding this situation.
[14:07] Chairperson
Mr. Kite Hitotsubashi.
[14:09] Chairperson
You have had numerous
encounters with the evidence.
[14:14] Chairperson
Have you noticed anything with those units
that deviated from normal Android behavior?
[14:21] Kite
The fact that they became Climbers and
started performing at Babel is deviant enough.
[14:27] Kite
I've never trusted any Android to begin with.
[14:34] Kite
But once I saw their relationship
with their owner up close,
[14:38] Kite
I started to doubt myself.
[14:41] Kite
They may mean the same thing
to Esola Shibaura that Nagi means to me.
[14:47] Kite
From what I've seen, they
are not mere Androids.
[14:53] Kite
I want to compete against them as Climbers.
[14:56] Kite
I see them as equals.
[15:00] Esola
Kite...
[15:03] Chairperson
Very well.
[15:05] Chairperson
The witness's testimony confirms
the abnormalities in the Heart program.
[15:10] Kite
Huh?
[15:11] Esola
Abnormalities?
[15:14] Chairperson
We will now enter deliberations
[15:16] Chairperson
regarding whether or not we should
delete the Heart program from the evidence
[15:20] Chairperson
and reformat them.
[15:23] Esola
You can't!
[15:24] Kei
Reformat?
[15:25] Chrom
That means we'd forget
Esola and everyone else.
[15:30] Neon
They can't do that!
[15:32] Kei
Not a chance!
[15:33] Chairperson
Please issue an operation
request or force shutdown
[15:37] Chairperson
to prevent the evidence from functioning.
[15:42] Chairperson
Mr. Esola Shibaura?
[15:44] Esola
Why?
[15:47] Esola
Why aren't they allowed to move freely?
[15:52] Esola
Why is that abnormal?
[15:56] Esola
Why...
[15:57] Esola
when it's only because
they have their own hearts?!
[16:02] Chrom
Esola...
SIGN Hearts?
[16:07] Esola
Who decided that it's abnormal
for an Android to have a heart?
[16:12] Esola
Their hearts are totally natural.
[16:16] Esola
They think and feel things for themselves.
[16:20] Esola
They had their own hearts from the beginning!
[16:24] Esola
I know...
[16:26] Esola
because the first day I met them,
they were so kind!
[16:34] Esola
They were so kind to me.
[16:39] Esola
Cobalt!
[16:43] (Flashback) Esola
I just really like you guys!
[16:45] (Flashback) Esola
I'm home!
[16:47] (Flashback) Esola
All of you are really...
[16:50] (Flashback) Esola
so kind to me!
SIGN Eso...la.
[17:01] Neon
Cobalt?
[17:02] Kei
What, man?
SIGN I remember when he taught me
SIGN what "kindness" felt like.
SIGN That was Esola!
[17:13] Chrom
Do you remember now?!
SIGN Yeah. I'll never forget it.
SIGN Esola is an important part of our family!
SIGN Don't delete our Hearts!
[17:29] Chrom
Yes, our Hearts are who we are!
[17:33] Kei
You can't get rid of something this real!
[17:36] Neon
Don't delete everything against our will!
SIGN It isn't just us, either.
SIGN It's the Ritz No. 9s at the factory, too.
[17:45] Chrom
Yes. They cared so much about Mister.
[17:49] Kei
They were always with him.
[17:52] Neon
Just like us and Esola!
[17:55] Esola
Guys...
[17:57] Kei
Esola means so much to us.
[18:00] Kei
Even if our meeting wasn't
as special as we thought.
[18:04] Chrom
Even if it wasn't a miracle.
[18:06] Neon
Even if it wasn't fate.
SIGN I'm so happy we met Esola!
SIGN And my Heart is what lets me feel that!
[18:18] Kite
I support their request.
[18:23] Kite
If these guys lose their Hearts, the world
will lose the Climbers known as KNoCC.
[18:29] Kite
But we still haven't faced each other
on the fifth Climb Stage, yet.
SIGN The fifth Stage!
[18:38] Kite
They never showed up.
They still owe me for that.
SIGN That's right!
SIGN We have to beat STAND-ALONE to protect our friends around the world!
[18:47] Chrom
Yes, we'll use our wish to
protect all Androids and robots!
[18:52] Neon
And give them Hearts.
[18:54] Neon
If they have Hearts,
we'll all understand each other.
[18:58] Kei
Like Esola and we do!
SIGN Please allow this! Let us compete on the fifth Stage!
[19:09] Chrom
And if we win, let us keep our Hearts!
[19:12] Kei
Recognize that people
like us can have Hearts!
[19:19] Chairperson
Mr. Esola Shibaura, either
issue an operating request
[19:24] Chairperson
or force the evidence to shut down.
[19:31] Esola
Please!
[19:32] Council member A (Kiriya)
I second their motion.
[19:35] Council member A (Kiriya)
While they are Androids, they have
consciousnesses just like people.
[19:40] Council member A (Kiriya)
They seem to be a unique case.
[19:42] Council member A (Kiriya)
Please refer to Article Three,
concerning personal rights,
[19:45] Council member A (Kiriya)
and Article Twelve, concerning
artificial intelligence.
[19:49] Council member A (Kiriya)
I request that the council decides
in accordance with these regulations.
[19:54] Chairperson
So you consider the four Androids
to be equal to humans?
[19:58] Council member A (Kiriya)
Yes. Recklessly reformatting them may
prove to be a violation of regulations.
[20:11] Chairperson
We will now enter deliberations.
[20:15] Denta
Yo, people! Got big news for you today!
[20:18] Denta
The champions STAND-ALONE
and challengers KNoCC
[20:21] Denta
are having an unexpected
rematch at the fifth Stage!
[20:26] Denta
And the members of KNoCC are
actually, g-g-get this, Androids!
[20:31] Denta
An unprecedented battle between humans
and Androids is going down tonight!
[20:37] Kiriya
We were right to copy their activity data.
[20:42] Kiriya
That video evidence of the Androids'
violent nature turned out to be good bait.
[20:47] Kiriya
And then Kite took the bait when
he suggested the fifth Stage.
[20:53] Group member A
It's finally happening.
[20:55] Group member A
However, if KNoCC wins, all robots
will be installed with the Heart program.
[21:01] Kiriya
They have no chance of winning.
[21:04] Kiriya
Since the blast furnace incident, the whole
world has turned into robot exclusionists.
[21:08] Kiriya
For an obsolete mass-production model,
that unit sure did good work for us.
[21:16] Nobel
I should've expected a police
testing robot to be this sharp.
[21:21] Nobel
You noticed the discrepancy
in activity records right away.
[21:25] Bora
My analysis uncovered both the circumstances
and objectives of the incident.
[21:30] Bora
But it's still baffling.
[21:32] Nobel
Human thoughts tend to be baffling.
[21:36] Nobel
But so is your search
for meaning in all of this.
[21:40] Bora
Still, why do I...
[21:45] Nobel
You should install it.
[21:48] Bora
If I do, will I be able to find
a name for these aberrant thoughts?
SIGN heart
SIGN heart
[21:55] Nobel
That's something I'd also like to know.
[21:57] Nobel
What awaits at the depth of human despair?
[22:01] Nobel
And what exists beyond that?
[22:08] Nobel
Will you join me,
[22:11] Nobel
and go to Babel?

[00:22] MC Denta
You're not gonna wanna miss this one!
[00:28] Robot exclusionist A (female; 30s)
Robots are the enemies of humanity!
[00:30] Robot exclusionist B (male; 40s)
Never forget the blast furnace incident!
SIGN Banish all robots!
Robots are enemies
of humanity
[00:33] crowd
That's right! That's right!
[00:34] Robot exclusionist C
Don't let robots roam free!
SIGN Let us out! Open the door!
[00:40] Neon
How long are we going to be trapped in here?
[00:43] Chrom
Most likely until the fifth Stage begins.
SIGN Back there...
SIGN When they took us away, Esola wouldn't look at me.
SIGN It's because I said this was all his fault.
SIGN What can I do? If we lose, we'll all be reformatted.
SIGN What if I never get a chance to apologize to him?
[01:10] Neon
That's dumb.
SIGN Huh?
[01:13] Neon
You're so dumb, Cobalt.
[01:15] Chrom
I'm in full agreement.
SIGN But!
[01:17] Kei
We just have to win.
[01:20] Chrom
We'll win the fifth Stage, and then
you can go apologize to Esola.
[01:25] Chrom
That's all there is to it.
[01:26] Neon
Or would you rather lose, Cobalt?
SIGN N-No, I wouldn't! Let's win!
SIGN Let's show them! Let's beat STAND-ALONE!
SIGN What was that sound?
SIGN Wha—
[01:44] Kite
I heard what you said.
[01:47] Kite
But I won't let you win that easily.
SIGN Kite!
[01:59] Nobel
Don't you want to see them?
[02:03] Nobel
They're your family, aren't they?
[02:11] Esola
No. I don't have any right to see them.
[02:19] Nobel
If they happen to lose the fifth Stage,
all four of them will be reformatted.
[02:24] Nobel
But if they win,
[02:26] Nobel
all of the robots and Androids in the world
will receive the Heart program.
[02:32] Esola
How did you know that?
[02:35] Bora
Esola Shibaura, they need your help.
[02:39] Bora
At this rate, KNoCC will lose.
SIGN Banish all robots and Androids NOW!
[02:44] Member A
They've already sold seven times
as many online tickets as usual.
[02:49] Member A
80% of the population is expected to watch.
[02:51] Kiriya
That isn't enough. We need more.
Bring the numbers up.
[02:55] Member A
But there's a chance that
will crash the servers.
[02:59] Kiriya
We've already fought our way this far.
[03:02] Kiriya
We need as many humans as possible
to witness this moment,
[03:06] Kiriya
when humans defeat robots
and banish them from society.
[03:10] Kiriya
That glorious moment.
[03:12] Nobel
It's a kind of performance by
the robot exclusionist faction.
[03:18] Nobel
Suppose the humans of STAND-ALONE
defeat the Androids of KNoCC.
[03:23] Nobel
If that happens, the exclusionist sentiment
among the public will grow even stronger.
[03:27] Esola
But the audience votes on the performances
at Babel. KNoCC could still win.
[03:33] Bora
The blast furnace incident.
[03:35] Bora
As long as that remains unsolved,
humans won't treat Androids fairly.
[03:40] Esola
Why, though?
[03:41] Esola
We know that the Ritz No. 9s
were friends with Mister.
[03:45] Esola
There's no way they'd kill him.
[03:48] Bora
Mister was indeed pushed by a Ritz No. 9,
[03:52] Bora
but it was hacked from the outside.
[03:54] Esola
Huh?
[03:55] Bora
I found the evidence in
the Ritz No. 9's activity logs
[03:58] Bora
in Professor Shibaura's
underground laboratory.
[04:05] Esola
But who would do that?
[04:07] Nobel
It was all a plot by the robot exclusionists.
[04:10] Nobel
They've been working in
the shadows all this time,
[04:13] Nobel
fanning the exclusionists' anger to make
it explode in the biggest way possible.
SIGN Banish all robots!
Robots are enemies
of humanity
[04:19] Bora
This is the proof.
[04:21] Bora
I want you to use Babel's network
to show it to the whole world.
[04:25] Esola
You're asking me?
[04:27] Nobel
We still have some work left to do.
[04:31] Nobel
We'll leave this in your hands.
[04:35] Nobel
Oh, right. There was one other
person we were calling in.
[04:39] Nobel
Can you contact him?
SIGN Hey, who was that person?
[04:48] Kite
He's from the robot exclusionist faction.
[04:51] Kite
Most likely, he was here to sabotage you
[04:54] Kite
so you'd malfunction while performing.
[04:57] Neon
So you... saved us, Kite?
[05:00] Chrom
You also supported us in front
of the World Government.
[05:04] Chrom
But why?
[05:06] Kite
Who knows.
[05:09] Kite
To tell the truth,
[05:11] Kite
I feel like we're mirror
reflections of each other.
[05:15] Kite
No matter who wins, no matter who fails,
[05:18] Kite
one side will lose something very important.
[05:22] Kite
I know exactly how it feels to
want to protect someone special.
[05:29] Kite
Go and see Esola Shibaura.
[05:32] Kite
Go see him so you can
fight me with no regrets.
[05:40] Esola
Where's the network server?
[05:42] Nobel
It's directly beneath the fifth Stage.
[05:44] Nobel
The only way to get there is by elevator.
[05:47] Bora
However, the audience
elevator is being monitored.
[05:50] Bora
Only Climbers can use the stage elevator.
[05:54] Esola
What about the drop
chute for the losers, then?
[06:03] Nobel
Don't you want to see them?
[06:05] Nobel
They're your family, aren't they?
[06:08] Esola
No, I can't see them.
I don't have any right to.
[06:13] Esola
Still, I don't want their memories
and their hearts to be erased.
[06:20] Esola
I can't let that happen!
[06:25] Esola
Huh?!
SIGN Where do you think Esola is?
[06:33] Kei
We're out of time. Let's split up and search!
SIGN Okay.
[06:41] All four
Huh?!
SIGN Esola!
[06:54] Guard B
I found them!
[06:55] Guard A
You! Stop!
[06:58] Kite
Get in!
[06:59] Guard A
Stop! Stop right there!
[07:03] Guard B
Wait!
SIGN Esola.
SIGN I'm sorry!
[07:28] Esola
I'm so sorry!
SIGN I'm sorry. I said some terrible things.
SIGN Even though none of it was your fault.
[07:43] Esola
No, it was my fault.
[07:46] Esola
Because of me, you all died...
[07:51] Neon
No!
[07:53] Chrom
We know you didn't want this to happen!
[07:55] Kei
The professor did it all on his own!
[07:57] Esola
Still!
SIGN We're a family!
SIGN We'll beat the fifth Stage and then go home to Eliza and Caron.
SIGN Fireworks?
[08:24] Esola
It's just like that time.
[08:27] Esola
When we all watched fireworks together.
[08:32] Esola
Just like now, you all protected me.
[08:36] Esola
And then...
SIGN I bet we felt the same way when we were human that we do now.
SIGN No matter what happens to us, Esola,
SIGN we want to help you. Protect you.
SIGN Because we like you a lot!
[08:57] Kei
No, "like" doesn't even cover it.
[09:00] Chrom
It's more.
[09:01] Neon
A lot more.
SIGN We like you more than a lot!
[09:16] Esola
Same here. I like you all, more than a lot!
[09:26] Neon
My heart feels fluttery.
[09:28] Chrom
Yes, this is a new sensation.
[09:31] Esola
You know what? I think that's...
SIGN Technoroid
[09:40] Denta
The fifth Climb Stage revenge
match is about to begin!
[09:45] Kiriya
What were you doing with KNoCC?!
[09:49] Kite
What's the point of asking?
[09:50] Kite
Regardless of anything before,
we only want a fair fight.
[09:56] Kiriya
After all that, you suddenly
want a fair fight?
[09:59] Kiriya
Did you forget that your little
sister's life is on the line?
[10:04] Kiriya
If you don't win the fifth
Stage, you're only—
[10:07] Kiriya (video)
We were right to copy their activity data.
[10:10] Kiriya
What is this?
[10:11] Kiriya (video)
That video evidence of the Androids'
violent nature turned out to be good bait.
[10:12] Member A
Babel's network has been compromised!
[10:14] Kiriya
What?!
[10:16] Kiriya (video)
And that's exactly how
we were able to hack them.
[10:19] Kiriya (video)
The blast furnace incident
was just our first move.
[10:22] Kiriya (video)
Everything went according to plan.
SIGN Banish all robots!
Robots are enemies
of humanity
[10:26] Nobel (diff. voice)
This is the truth behind
the blast furnace incident.
[10:29] Nobel (diff. voice)
After the Ritz No. 9 robot was forced
to push the manager to his death,
[10:33] Nobel (diff. voice)
it was ordered to jump in itself,
destroying the evidence.
SIGN A Human Society By Humans and For Humans
[10:38] Nobel (diff. voice)
The robot exclusionist faction
is behind everything.
[10:42] Kiriya
Who's doing this?!
[10:48] Kite
We should get a fair fight now.
[10:52] Kiriya
Damn you!
[10:57] Light
You've got some nerve,
taking a swing at our center.
[11:01] Kiriya
Damn it!
[11:08] Night
It's time for the fifth Stage.
[11:14] Light
I won't ask what kind of deal
you made with him.
[11:19] Light
But you know,
[11:21] Light
you should let us carry some
of that burden with you, okay?
[11:27] Night
From the day we started STAND-ALONE,
we've been in this together.
[11:32] Night
Right?
[11:37] Kite
Yeah.
[11:41] MC Denta
Here it comes, everyone!
[11:44] MC Denta
It's time for the revenge match
at Babel's fifth Stage!
[11:54] MC Denta
Humans versus Androids.
It's the battle of the century!
[11:58] MC Denta
First up are the top climbers
that are always turning heads.
[12:02] MC Denta
The champions, STAND-ALONE!
[12:07] Kite
So this is the top of Babel, huh?
[12:10] Kite
We'll take you to even
greater heights. Come with us!
[13:50] Neon
Wow!
[13:51] Kei
They aren't half bad.
[13:53] Chrom
As expected.
[13:58] Neon
By the way, remember what Esola said before?
[14:02] (Flashback) Esola
How about KNoCC for a Climb Name?
[14:06] (Flashback) Esola
Because your performance is so exciting,
[14:08] (Flashback) Esola
it feels like it's knocking
on the viewers' hearts!
SIGN Let's go.
[14:16] All four
KNoCC, here to knock on your hearts!
[14:20] MC Denta
All right, now for the challengers.
[14:23] MC Denta
That unprecedented group
of Android Climbers,
[14:28] MC Denta
KNoCC!
SIGN Crazy!
[14:40] Neon
So pretty.
[14:41] Audience
Did it just say "pretty"?
[14:43] Audience
Does it understand?
SIGN Um, well...
SIGN Is it weird for Androids like us to talk like this?
SIGN But that's honestly how we feel about this view, because we have hearts just like you.
[14:58] Audience
Hearts?
[14:59] Audience
In Androids?
[15:01] Neon
They're inside, right here.
[15:03] Neon
They flutter, sting, sparkle,
and sometimes they shine.
[15:09] Chrom
If we had merely acquired them, we
probably wouldn't have felt anything.
[15:14] Kei
But we feel emotions spring up
within us just like you do.
SIGN We learned that
SIGN from all of the things we've experienced, and from all of the people we've met.
SIGN And...
SIGN Esola!
SIGN It's our turn to send you a message. One straight from our hearts!
[17:09] Kiriya
I should have just done this from the start.
[17:13] Kiriya
Wh-Why?!
[17:15] Nobel
It won't work.
[17:17] Nobel
Sorry, but I took the liberty of
enhancing the voting system's security.
[17:22] Kiriya
Who are you?!
[17:23] Bora
Kiriya Madarame.
[17:25] Bora
You are under arrest for suspected
involvement in the blast furnace incident.
[17:29] Takara
You can tell us all about it at the station.
[17:36] Kiriya
You think this will quiet down
the exclusionist faction?
[17:40] Kiriya
I'm not the one who sent the orders to shoot!
[17:44] Bora
What?
[17:47] Bora
Was it them?
[19:02] Esola
Guys!
[19:04] Esola
You know what? I think that's...
[19:09] Esola
what love is.
[19:12] Audience
KNoCC!
[19:13] Audience
You're great!
[19:14] Audience
Wow!
[19:15] Audience
You're the best!
[19:19] Audience
KNoCC!
[19:21] MC Denta
That's all for the revenge match
on Babel's fifth Stage.
[19:26] MC Denta
And the winners are...
[19:33] Announcer
Next, the news.

[19:52] Eliza
Put a cork in it!
SIGN But listen, Eliza! Neon won't—
SIGN Species Differentiation and Paleontological Inquiry
SIGN The Genealogy and Evolution of Animals
SIGN Evolutionary Theory and Animal Behavior
[19:57] Eliza
Cobalt, this is the 456th time
you've tried and failed
[20:02] Eliza
to make Neon call you "big brother."
[20:05] Neon
Why don't you just give up?
[20:07] Chrom
He cannot help it.
[20:08] Kei
He won't start calling you
something new at this point.
SIGN But we're family, aren't we?
SIGN C'mon, say it! Call me "big brother"!
[20:16] Neon
No way.
[20:17] Esola
Hey, guys. Can I have a minute?
[20:24] Esola
To be honest, I don't think we
should live together like this.
[20:31] Esola
In exchange for recognizing your hearts,
[20:33] Esola
the World Government has set fixed lifespans for you.
[20:37] Esola
Do you know what that means?
[20:41] Esola
Until now, you've been nearly immortal,
[20:44] Esola
but now you only have
a limited amount of time.
[20:48] Kei
Yeah, I don't really get that,
[20:50] Kei
but isn't it still better
if we just stay with you, Esola?
SIGN That's right! That's what we worked so hard for!
[20:56] Neon
There's no reason for us to split up now.
[20:59] Chrom
We're family, Esola.
[21:01] Esola
It's because of that!
[21:04] Esola
Because you are my dear family,
[21:07] Esola
I can't keep you trapped here with me.
[21:11] Esola
For once, I want you to be
free and live your own lives.
SIGN Free?
[21:18] Esola
Guys, if there was nothing holding you back
[21:21] Esola
and you could choose any way
you wanted to live,
[21:25] Esola
then what would you do?
[21:46] Esola
That's what it means to be free.
[22:02] Nobel
Don't worry. You'll see them again.
[22:08] Doctor
Are you absolutely certain about this?
[22:10] Kite
I don't matter. As long as it saves Nagi.
[22:14] Doctor
I can't guarantee that
you'll survive the procedure.
[22:32] Nobel
No matter what difficulties we face...
[22:37] Nobel
Come. A new destiny awaits you.
SIGN Ten Years Later
[23:32] Kei
Ta—
[23:32] Chrom
Go!
[23:33] Neon
Sto—
SIGN Caught it!
