[00:01] MC Denta
    Are ya ready, everyone?!
[00:04] MC Denta
    Tonight we finally get to see
    the rematch for the fifth Climb Stage!
[00:08] MC Denta
    The champions, STAND-ALONE,
    will be challenged by KNoCC,
[00:12] MC Denta
    who are, g-get this, Android Climbers!
SIGN    What happened to KNoCC?
    
     Nekosky
    Wasn't there a rumor that
     KNoCC were Androids?
    
     Tsuchinoko Parfait
     Seriously? o_o
    
     mimimiko
     Source?
    
    Soba & Rice? (offline)
    STAND-ALONE, crush the machines!
    
    Rok1sAMA
    Stop the robot invasion!
[00:16] MC Denta
    For the first time ever at Babel, it's a Climb
    Stage battle between humans and Androids!
[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.
[19:35] Announcer
    The World Government has officially announced
SIGN    ...statement from the World Government...
SIGN    ...statement from the World Government...
[19:38] Announcer
    the distribution of the Heart program
    to all robots and Androids.
[19:42] Announcer
    Accordingly, robots will possess
    the same rights as humans
SIGN    ...robots and Androids with the Heart program...
SIGN    ...robots and Androids with the Heart program...

[19:52] Eliza
    Put a cork in it!
SIGN    But listen, Eliza! Neon won't—

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!
