[00:04] (Flashback) Cobalt
    Before we died, the four of us
    were brought together for you.
[00:08] (Flashback) Cobalt
    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?
