Original subtitles

So, it's not like you're hurt or anything, right?

Why didn't you come back right away?

- Oh... yeah... - Kouichi?!

Are you listening?

I was really worried, you know!

Oh... uh, sorry...

Tell me, what happened?

I asked Yajima, but he won't give me a straight answer.

Kouichi?

That's right, I am now...

Bro!

My dresser!

You opened it without permission and took my underwear, didn't you?!

M-Mina!

You pervert!

Imagine!

O mankind, drowning in peace!

The destruction to come!

The great threat to come!

I repeat! O mankind, imagine!

Katou Organization Arma unit

has broken through our second line of defense!

JUDA's reinforcements still aren't here?!

So, it's the JUDA Machina Vardant.

Message from the 28th Task Force of the UN.

Reiji Moritsugu's Vardant has engaged the Katou Organization.

Both Shizuna and Izuna Endou also appear to be going into battle

in concert with the US armed forces.

They've begun to act more aggressively.

Attacking on two fronts at once...

Could they have given up on capturing the Linebarrel

and switched to a new plan of attack?

It's the other way around, Ogawa-san.

They're making trouble all over the place

and when we've got our hands full,

I'll bet their plan is to take that chance to steal the Linebarrel.

Miu Kujou, Satoru Yamashita, reporting in.

Welcome back.

I'm sorry to have sent you out for nothing.

Not at all.

How are things with the Linebarrel?

There's no sign of it for the time being.

Unlike your ordinary Armas,

Machinas respond when summoned by their Factors,

who are special pilots chosen by the D-Soil.

And they can port instantly to their Factor's location.

The Linebarrel's Factor is likely hiding it

by anchoring it within that place, which we might call the "transfer field."

But only Machinas can enter the transfer field, right?

Yes, the Factor must be somewhere nearby.

This person seems to be different from the info we received in advance.

Yes, indeed, since only Emi Kizaki should have come with the Linebarrel.

Sheesh! Talk about butting his nose in where it doesn't belong!

Uh... who was it again?

Kouichi Hayase-kun.

A third-year student at Misaki Middle School.

Currently, the Special Service Division's Intelligence Department

is setting up surveillance and investigating his background.

In other words, he's just a little untrained amateur.

Sir, what do you plan to do with Hayase-kun from here on out?

I'm thinking of watching how things go for a while longer.

I'm thinking of watching how things go for a while longer.

To see what kind of change he and the Linebarrel bring to this world.

To see what kind of change he and the Linebarrel bring to this world.

Curry bread?

- Hello? - Would you listen to this, Yajima?!

- Risako... - Kouichi's just hopeless!

Honestly! I swear!

It'll be fine.

I'll get a detailed account from Kouichi tomorrow.

You're Dr. Heaven!

- Don't try to be so formal. - Good of you to come, Kibaidar!

- We don't mind at all. - Where there is evil, there is justice!

- Stay as long as you need to until the repairs to your house are finished. - We know all about your villainous deeds!

- Stay as long as you need to until the repairs to your house are finished. - Here we go! Combine!

- R-Right... - Here we go! Combine!

- R-Right... - Yeah!

- Hey, are you my bro's girlfriend?! - Yeah!

- Hey, are you my bro's girlfriend?! - Kibaidar Kick!

- What?! N-No... - Kibaidar Kick!

- I didn't think so. There's no way he'd have a girlfriend. - Kibaidar Kick!

- I didn't think so. There's no way he'd have a girlfriend. - Kibaidar Ultimate Death Beam!

- He's a pervert, after all. - Kibaidar Ultimate Death Beam!

If he needed underwear, he could have taken mine instead. You know?

R-Right...

Because you are...

...already dead.

What?

I'm sorry.

The Linebarrel and I...

...landed on you.

Nooo!

H-Hold on.

But I'm alive.

I'm breathing properly...

...and my heart's beating, too.

That's because the Linebarrel's D-Soil restored you.

Re... stored?

I asked the Linebarrel to save you.

That's how you came back to life.

As a Factor, who shares his life with the Linebarrel.

Then, the reason I was able to control this thing

and the strength I gained were both...

Yes.

As long as you are with the Linebarrel,

you will have inhuman powers,

any damage to your body will be restored immediately,

and you will function as a Factor,

the element needed to operate the Linebarrel.

Inhuman powers, huh?

I don't care what it is.

As long as I've got this power!

Bro, hurry up!

I'm coming out already.

Honestly! You take forever in the tub and the bathroom!

Yeah, yeah.

- Kizaki. - Um...

Is it really all right for me to be imposing like this?

Nothing for you to worry about.

Besides, it doesn't look like going to the police will do much good.

I'm sorry.

Once you get a little more settled, I'm sure your memory will come back.

And that was the news

from the disaster zone in Misaki Town in Miura City,

from the disaster zone in Misaki Town in Miura City,

which suffered an enormous amount of damage.

which suffered an enormous amount of damage.

There's an enemy threatening this city!

I'll use this power to defeat those guys!

Knowing that is enough for now.

Yes.

But if you fight the way you did today, there'll be more damage, so...

I know, I'll be careful.

It seems the Japanese government is persisting on claiming

that the series of incidents was due to malfunctioning Armas,

a new model belonging to the SSDF.

They never change.

The methods of those who have lost the power of imagination...

Hisataka, I'm taking the next mission, too.

Don't forget what our plan is, Sawatari.

This time, the Linebarrel's...

Get combat data on it, beat it to a pulp, and bring it back. Right?

The Linebarrel is special.

The supreme Machina that will change the world.

The fact that it obtained an unexpected Factor

and escaped from our grasp

may be a rather typical turn of events for it.

I find it questionable that you are so easily amused by these situations.

I've waited more than plenty.

I see no problem with enjoying it a little.

Masaki, telling Hisataka not to have fun is the same as telling him to die.

I'll be counting on you, Sawatari.

We need the Linebarrel in order to accomplish our objective.

Just leave it to me.

I'll go as soon as the Idaten's parts get replaced.

What about Dimitri and Yuriannu?

The JUDA Machinas that were deployed are behaving as expected.

They should be able to buy plenty of time until the mission.

They may know it's a diversion,

but as long as no one else is capable of putting up a fight,

they have no choice but to continue engaging the enemy themselves.

It's hard work being the champions of justice.

All I've been able to remember is my name,

about the Linebarrel,

and about how I have to fight against that enemy.

Where did I come from?

Who in the world am I?

- Morning! - Morning!

I told you it'd be impossible, didn't I?

But he just won't listen!

What?

Kouichi.

Yajima...

What happened after that yesterday?

What about that Arma? And that girl...

Nothing really happened.

Kouichi!

Those Armas sure were incredible yesterday!

An Arma rammed right into the house in front of ours

and turned it into pancake! Pancake, I tell you!

Hey, do you know?

There was a white one that defeated the Armas that were on a rampage.

- Oh, the new SSDF Arma, right? - What?

I heard the reason they went berserk

was because of the meteorite's electromagnetic waves.

Yeah, that's right, because one fell in the shrine woods yesterday.

Hey!

That's Doumyouzi!

What's he doing getting interviewed?!

In other words, we were attacked by something

that's supposed to be protecting us, right?

That's really kind of a menace.

- Let me see that real quick! - What?!

- Let me see that real quick! - What?!

Now, this is the same model as the Arma that went berserk.

According to the government's statement,

According to the government's statement,

- this Arma apparently had issues during its development phase. - Why won't they say it?! My Lineba...

Kouichi!

You know that thing we were talking about the other day?

- It looks like it'll work out somehow. - H-Hey, Yajima!

Sheesh! What are you thinking?

I'm the one who did all that!

I'm the one who protected this city!

I'll be damned if they cover it up with that BS!

Knock it off already!

If people find out, there'll be a huge commotion!

There's no point if there is no commotion!

- Huh? - That's it!

I just have to summon the Linebarrel right here and now.

What?

Come, Linebarrel!

You idiot! Stop!

It didn't come...

Aw, what the heck? So I can't summon it on my own.

Linebarrel...

So that Arma's called the Linebarrel?

It's not an Arma. It's a Machina.

- What? - It's totally different from a normal Arma!

It's got this stuff called D-Soil

and it recovers right away, even when it gets hit!

Oh, I see...

I was chosen by the Linebarrel!

Only she and I can summon it...

A s-special Machina...

What are you talking about?

Risako!

I bet you were talking about something pervy again, weren't you?

W-We were not!

But I like the way this feels.

What do you mean?

The way the two of you are here together like this...

It kind of... It kind of feels like old times.

Hah! Not really. I was just getting an earful from Yajima.

Come on...

We've been looking for you, Hayase!

F-Furuya...

You had some nerve ditching our request yesterday!

You better believe you're gonna go buy them today!

Curry bread from Hama Bakery!

In under 10 minutes, of course.

That's enough already!

Gack! Yajima, I didn't see you there.

I've been meaning to set you guys straight.

You guys...

Five minutes.

Huh?

I'll go buy it for you in five minutes!

K-Kouichi?

How about it?

E-Exactly five minutes?!

That's impossible! You bought them in advance, didn't you?!

Check for yourselves.

All right...

- Whoa! - Freshly fried! - That's awesome!

You're the ultimate errand boy, aren't you?!

You could say that.

I just have to exert a bit of my power and...

What the hell am I doing running errands?!

For these bastards?!

What did you just say?

Hey.

Don't get all cocky just because you can run a little fast!

Kouichi!

Running fast isn't all I can do!

Yajima, thanks for protecting me all this time.

But there's no need for that anymore!

Kou... ichi...

I heard Furuya and his posse got worked over!

Wow, was it Doumyouzi?

Nope, nope. Some guy named Hayase from Class B.

Huh? Who's that again?

- See you later, Risako. I'm leaving. - Oh, that guy they were always using as an errand boy.

- Oh, bye-bye. - Oh, that guy they were always using as an errand boy.

But how'd a guy like that suddenly manage to do that?

Beats me.

Um, what did you want to show me?

Over here.

But this place is...

Here, this.

What?

What?

Wh-What is this?

Wh-What is this?

- My grave. - What?

The powerless guy that I used to be until yesterday died here.

He died here and was reborn.

As me, with new powers.

That's because I...

It's okay. You don't have to feel guilty about it anymore.

Thank you for killing me.

Come on, come on, come on!

Quit hiding and come on out, Linebarrel!

Katou Organization Armas have landed in the industrial complex!

Six of them!

Send out the Hind-Kind and the Painkiller.

Contact Yamashita-kun and Kujou-kun.

It's those guys from yesterday again!

Summon the Linebarrel!

A-All right!

Come, Linebarrel!

Your time for having your way is over now!

What are you after this time?!

Hah! None of your business!

Hello?

Yajima, I'm going to give you something interesting to watch.

The great deeds of a champion of justice.

Wait, Kouichi! Don't tell me you're planning to...

Hey, Kouichi!

You think that's something special?!

Satoru-kun, the industrial complex will be annihilated at this rate!

- Yeah. Since it's come to this... - Hold it right there!

I'll be the one to defend justice in this town!

The Linebarrel!

There you are, Two-Horns!

What're you doing?!

In the name of justice, I will destroy you!

Justice, my ass!

I'm your opponent!

The Katou Organization will be taking ownership of that Machina!

I'd like to see you try!

We're not handing the Linebarrel over to you!

- Can you hear me, Kouichi Hayase-kun? - What?

We are here to escort you!

Come with us to JUDA!

Wha... How do you guys...

How do you know my name?!

What? Why? Because...

You identified yourself yesterday, remember?

At the top of your lungs.

Uh... did I?

What are you, stupid?

Don't call me stupid!

Listen up!

I am the righteous one!

The rest of you are all evil!

So my justice will lay you all to waste!

Ko... Kouichi...

Die, villains!

No!

If you fight like that, the surrounding area will be...

It's no use telling him that!

Knock it off!

Get real, you damn brat!

- Hayase-kun! - Die!

The D-Soil repaired the body!

That was so fast!

Until yesterday, you were just an untrained brat!

And now you've gained all this power without any effort!

You piss me off to no end!

You damn Factors!

This is the power of justice!

Now...

You guys are next!

Bastard! That's enough...

Yamashita-kun. Kujou-kun. Let's pull back for now.

I want to avoid further damage.

Roger that, sir.

So you're going to run.

Well, not like you stood a chance against me.

Today's labor of justice is done!

I have no idea why,

but the ladies are flocking to me lately.

I guess when you get to be a champion of justice,

the ladies just can't ignore you.

Or rather, have I finally entered into a popular phase?!

You're despicable!
