Sixth Movement Obliterated Cities

That's just weird!

No, it isn't.

Is everyone in Tokyo Jupiter like that?

We're Japanese, just like you!

Well, sure, it might be nearly twenty years ago to you guys, but...

I still think it's weird to put soy sauce on fried shrimp.

Good morning, Meg.

Kim, why are you here?

I have a little business to take care of here.

Coming into work together?

No!

I heard about it! He's living with you now, right?

He's just my next-door neighbor.

Man, I want a boyfriend too.

I'm telling you that's not it.

I guess I should say, nice to meet you.

My name's Kim Hotal.

I'm Megumi's colleague. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Hello. Oh, I'm...

I know, you're Kamina Ayato from Tokyo Jupiter.

Megumi's next-door neighbor, a bit on the cute side,

and to top it off, the pilot of the secret weapon.

I'm not a pilot.

I'll be damned if I fight again.

Following the reappearance of the Mu the other day,

the United Self-Defense Force has been rapidly increasing

the number of military exercises in the last few days.

Complaints have been filed by the surrounding residents...

What? All right.

It appears they are ready to start the press conference.

TERRA Director - Shirow Watari

Hey, there he is.

He looks just as disagreeable as ever.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning.

What's going on?

It's our great commander's moment of crisis.

I hear some members of the Security Council

are of the opinion that TERRA should be dissolved.

I would say being able to stir that kind of controversy

is a sign of good health as an organization.

Do you believe there were absolutely no errors

made during the investigation stage?

We exercise the greatest possible care in any investigation,

but it would be difficult to expect perfection.

But isn't this whole thing just odd?

I'm Futagami from the Amato News.

Well, the thing is, a Federation transport ship just happened

to have gone to Nirai Island on that very same day.

But what do you know? When the transport ship came back,

it was just as empty as when it left.

That's a Federation affair.

We don't have any answers for you.

What do you suppose the Federation went there to get?

Something they went so far as to send warships along as escort for,

and weren't able to get...

I'll tell you! TERRA's secret weapon!

Well, that's news to me.

I guess we have a weapon that's being kept secret even from me.

It looks like people don't think very well of TERRA.

They just don't want us to rock the boat.

People think they'll just stay shut inside forever

if we don't bother them.

Even broken up, this nation's principle of peace-at-any-cost

certainly hasn't changed.

What the heck is this?!

It's like a Nazca line.

Looks like it's in Hakodate.

What are the damages?

Well, now, is there hope left in Pandora's box?

I'm the acting commander?!

That's right.

Oh, boy. Can't you at least make it back?

Souichi, I know you can do it.

It can't be helped, but please come back soon.

This is the waveform signature of the D-1 aria

confirmed in Australia fourteen years ago.

It is a unique characteristic of the sound.

And this is from the D-1 aria in Hakodate.

It would be safe to say that it is of the same type

as the one recorded fourteen years ago.

Now, for an explanation of the situation fourteen years ago...

Intelligence Division, please take over.

The D-1 in Dr. Kisaragi's report

obliterated eight cities, starting with Canberra,

resulting in casualties of six million people.

The sample collected...

Six million?!

...during the earlier attack on Australia...

was analyzed with the cooperation of...

Wow, six million? Really?

It's true.

Until just a while ago, I'd believed

that the total population of the world was twenty-three million, so...

If that were true, it'd mean that

one out of every four people in the world died, right?

Isn't that amazing?

I didn't know I was fighting a monster like that.

What are you talking in the past tense for?

Hurry up and get on the RahXephon, and get rid of that one too.

I told you, remember?! I'll be damned if I fight again!

I wasn't piloting it because I wanted to.

But you're the only one who can pilot it, right?

That's just the arrangement that you guys have, right?!

It doesn't have anything to do with me.

Are you planning on freeloading?!

All I gotta do is work, right?!

You think a pampered boy like you could actually make a living?!

Stop it, Kim!

So you have skills other than being able to pilot the RahXephon?!

- Sure I do! - No, you don't!

You don't know anything about me.

I know more about how the world works than you do!

Why on Earth is someone like you the pilot?!

Hey, you two!

Okay, that's enough.

Both of you, go stand in the hallway.

And don't forget the buckets.

They were killed.

Kim's parents just happened to be vacationing in Australia,

right at that time.

It's revenge. That's why she was so...

Please let me help out too.

It isn't your job to analyze the Mu.

But that's my revenge out there!

Actually, that's why I can't let you.

Did I interrupt something?

No, we were just finishing up.

Please excuse me.

Oh, hold on a minute.

Would you pass this on to the Intelligence Division?

It's the D-1 aria from Hakodate.

Forty years...

It's taken forty years to make this a reality.

Do you think that it will be in time?

No need to worry,

we should be able to manage to prepare the planned number.

Expecting that we will be in charge of their practical application...

That is my intent.

I haven't seen you since that incident.

Yes, Sir. I am glad to find you in good health, Lord Bähbem.

What about the Security Council?

We have reached a mutual agreement with the Federation

on the use of RahXephon in that it will be observed closely

and kept in reserve only for emergencies.

Tacit approval, for all intents and purposes.

Yes, Sir. We have the Foundation to thank for this as well.

We are grateful for your support.

We're going now.

See you later.

Why are you crying?

It's such an adorable music box.

Let me listen.

That's right, I took it without permission.

Go ahead and tell on me if you want.

A city that overlooks the strait...

A city that overlooks the strait,

prepared with an enclosure of a star.

How does it feel, Ayato? Any discomfort?

Oh, no.

Let me know right away if you sense even the slightest abnormality.

Excuse me...

I know, you're just working with us for the tests.

You'll be damned if you have to fight again, right?

Yeah, well, yes, that's right.

I'm a pacifist too.

I bet he'd be furious if he found out the truth.

Whatever do you mean?

He doesn't know that's the electrode attached to the guinea pig, right?

I haven't lied to him.

He hasn't asked me, so I'm not going to tell him.

So it's okay if I tell him then?

But you won't.

Why not?

There's a surprisingly large gap between happiness and truth.

You're mature enough to know that, aren't you now?

It's Megumi.

That is... I don't know how to say it,

but if something happens, call me.

I'm being a good girl.

The Mulian assault weapon that appeared in Australia a week ago

has now obliterated the city of Sydney.

With this, five cities have now been obliterated

and approximately four million lives have been lost.

We agreed to take her because they said it was only for two weeks.

We're sure as hell not going to take care of her for life.

What about Mr. Yi in Hiroshima?

I hear the factory is operating at full capacity

because of this commotion.

These kinds of costs should be borne by the people who profited by the Mu.

It's from Australia.

This is...

"Happy birthday. We'll bring..."

We'll bring lots of souvenirs home, so be a good girl.

In the end, this turned out to be their last message.

Message?!

First, a city that overlooks the strait, prepared with an enclosure of a star.

Fort Goryokaku!

If you overlay this waveform signature on a map of Australia...

See? That D-1 moved along,

telling us all the while where it would appear next.

The song this time also passes right through Hakodate...

Second Lieutenant Kim Hotal,

you copied top-secret information without permission.

Well...

I see, a completely different approach.

To think that song was an advance notice...

We cannot mobilize the organization just based on that.

Materials to convince each department involved,

cost-effectiveness analysis,

division of responsibilities...

I bet that's what the USDF would say.

Then...

But I'm the commander right now.

Thank you, Sou.

You're very welcome.

So, according this theory,

the place where it'll show up next is...

It better be really coming.

Beats me.

You commandeered me for something that indefinite?!

It's one of those on-the-spot decisions.

Besides, why are you here? You're in Intelligence.

What does it matter?

You're that worried about that boy?

And who was it that draped herself all over that boy

and propositioned him?

Why, you!

I heard you put in a transfer request.

I'm surprised you were able to convince the USDF.

They seem to think that the D-1 is after the RahXephon.

It's appeared, two o'clock, eight kilos.

Did you hear that, Ayato?

It's appeared.

All right!

Impressive! I'll treat you next...

Take this!

- Take this! Take this! Take this! - Do you want revenge?

No...

What the heck is this?!

Communication interrupted.

RahXephon is sinking into phase space.

RahXephon, thirty-eight seconds to complete submersion.

Someone...

It's blank.

I thought drawing might help calm my nerves, but...

Oh, man...

Why did you change your mind about piloting?

Do you want revenge?

That is...

Kind of like me?

I don't think it's that.

Then is it sympathy?

Because I can pilot it.

I'll do whatever's within my abilities.

That's what I decided.

Mishima...

Reika...

Thank goodness.

So the operation was a success?

Yes, it seems Major Yagumo did a good job.

I heard. On-site decision-making is a great thing.

We didn't have that back then.

That is the past.

Already in the past...
