**[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

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...
**[19:47] Announcer**
*and be given a fixed lifespan.*
***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*** 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!
***SIGN*** Technoroid
