Original subtitles

K-Kiriyama-kun, what kind of monkey business is this?!

Monkeying?

Oh, please, Minister, this was all scripted by me.

This is a bona fide original piece of work, you know.

What are you saying?!

A mere private citizen carrying out a coup d'état?!

No matter what nonsense a bastard like you might spout...

You see...

...I am going to liberate this country

from incompetent politicians and bureaucrats like you.

If you get in my way, you'll wind up dead.

Kono mune ni idaku no wa seigi

What I hold in my heart is justice

My sun that burns red and hot

Akaku atsuku moeru waga taiyou

Kono yo no dokoka de kouri-tsuki nemuru shinjitsu

The truth slumbers frozen somewhere in this world

I reach out in search of it

Mitsuke-dasu kono te

How much love and sorrow will I touch?

Ai to kanashimi ni doredake fureru no ka?

To remain true to myself, I melt the darkness away

Boku wa boku de aru tame yami o tokashite-yuku

When I pass through the doorway to a world I have yet to see

Mada minu sekai e no tobira o kuguru toki

If my wings are to be injured

Tsubasa ga kizutsuku no nara

I will turn my heart hard as iron

Kono kokoro o hagane ni kae

Kousa-suru hikari yo

O crisscrossing lights

The shadows dropped will surely make the time beyond the future shine

Ochiru kage wa mirai no saki o kagayakaseru-darou

Far corners of the boundless universe

Hateshi no nai uchuu no sumi

Each to their own solitary star

Hitotsu-hitotsu kodoku no hoshi ni

We live, connecting to one another

Ikiru bokura tsunagari-au

To become bridges that transcend Earth

Chikyuu koeru hashi to naru you ni

The daylight moon, dimly lurking in the azure sky

Kuraku hisomi-uku seiten no tsuki

Taunting, clouding, though droplets of the dream may spill

Azakeri kagerou yume no shizuku ga koboretemo

I reach out my hand, the warmth that I receive

Sashi-nobeta kono te uketoru nukumori

The smile I find there, for you to remain true to yourself

Soko ni aru hohoemi kimi ga kimi de iru tame

I will lay down my life by your side

Inochi o sowaseyou

Soshite boku o mamoru shouri

And the triumph that shields me

Kizaki...

Hayase!

Shizuna.

Mister...

Th-This isn't happening, right?

Th-This isn't happening, right?

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates

This is a twisted joke.

It's not funny at all...

Open your eyes.

Come on, Mister...

Don't forget it, no matter what

I don't want it to be like this...

Damn it!

Damn it all!

Through time ticking away eternity

The Boss...

...was laughing just a short while ago...

I never thought he'd...

What will you walk towards?

...be gone just like that.

To protect the dream that came fluttering down

Unwaveringly, though there may be an unending darkness

"Maiasa News"

"Local News Department"

We've seized complete control of the Diet, the media,

and all means of transportation.

This country pretty much belongs to you now, President Kiriyama.

Of course.

In fact, it's almost taken too long for this to come to pass.

I guess all that's left...

...is for me to find the best time to unveil this little guy.

"Please wait a moment"

"Please wait a moment"

Huh?

Mom, something's wrong with the TV!

There's always something wrong with the TV.

What? But...

Never mind that. Hurry up and finish your homework!

Sheesh!

Currently, all of Japan is effectively under martial law!

The organization that declared the state of emergency

is also rumored to be involved with the Katou Organization.

Due to this, we of the US Forces stationed in Japan

will go on the alert in anticipation of contingency situations.

Your Excellency, America, China, and numerous other countries

have unofficially contacted us through diplomatic sources.

Ignore them for now.

That's the plan, after all.

- Your Excellency. - What is it?

Lieutenant Colonel Igarashi and three others appear to have fled.

Igarashi?

What the heck?

After I went out of my way

to make him the captain of the Jinrai squad, because he had a nice body.

Shall we capture them and bring them in?

Nah, you can just kill them.

I doubt guys like that will listen to me now anyway.

Pardon me, Your Excellency.

There is someone who wishes to see you.

You're...

Sir! I would like to be of service to you, Your Excellency,

and I have come to submit my request!

The Vardant has arrived!

Maintenance crew, begin repairs immediately!

I repeat, maintenance crew, begin repairs immediately!

That's an interesting thing for you to say.

Young kids really are great.

I guess you can instinctively tell who's the leader.

Thank you very much, Your Excellency!

Show me how cool you can be in one of my Jinrais.

Sir! I will not fail you, Sir!

Then I think I'll put you to work right away...

Under him.

You are...

I'll leave it to you to mop up JUDA.

No matter how you gaze into that mirror,

it's not as if it'll change the shape of your face.

I'm admiring myself! Leave me alone!

What are you laughing about, Soubi?

Were you imagining tormenting that Machina's Factor again?

My, I am surprised you could tell, Dimitri.

Quit being so gleeful. It's creepy.

Nothing wrong with that, is there? To each their own.

I wonder if she would deign to look upon my form...

That sweet girl...

My comrades, the time has come at last.

Today, the world will come to know us.

You've put the polish to your poker face

in the short time that I haven't seen you.

One of these days, I'd love to get a peek into that heart of yours.

What is Hisataka doing?

Why don't you see for yourself?

The broadcast will be starting soon.

C'mon, yer helpin', too.

- What? - We're cleanin' up this room.

We can't just leave it like this, right?

Oh...

Kizaki...

They think...

...it's because she used the Linebarrel in a way that turned it black.

Which means...

...I guess Emi-chan was a Factor of the Linebarrel, too.

I could've also...

If only the Painkiller were operational...

I could've also!

Miu-san...

No "san" allowed.

C'mon, Yamashita!

Quit dawdlin' and get yer hands movin'!

I am! You should be working, too!

I am workin'! I'm doin' work called "directin"'!

What's with that?!

Communication with all relevant entities has been cut off...

- Those bastards! - The Katou Organization!

Well, ladies and gentlemen all over the world...

...I am the supreme commander of the Katou Organization

and my name is Hisataka Katou.

I realize this is sudden,

but as of now, we...

...will be taking the liberty of conquering the world.

I realize this is sudden,

but as of now, we...

...will be taking the liberty of conquering the world.

Conquering... the world?

We intend to draw a single, clear line upon this world.

This line will be order itself and the absolute boundary.

Good and evil. Friend and foe. Something and nothing.

Those who imagine and those who do not.

And those who deserve to live and those who deserve to die.

The way to put this in simple terms

is the aforementioned conquering of the world.

The change of government in Japan is the first step to this.

Today, as of this time, the Japan that was a sovereign nation is dead

and in its place, it will be reborn as Japan,

the Katou Organization's unsinkable aircraft carrier.

Hisataka... Katou!

Japan will not be alone.

- We have comrades all over the world, - The Supreme Commander is hogging the spotlight.

- who share and promote our ideals, - He's going to end up upstaging me at this rate.

- and they will begin to take action... - He's going to end up upstaging me at this rate.

If you wish to survive, imagine.

Anticipate the future

and imagine what it is that you ought to be doing right now.

Hello? Is this Ogawa-san?

Aonuma-san?! Where are you right now?!

Never mind that. Listen to me.

The SSDF unit that carried out the coup d'état is headed your way!

Their objective is to break up the Special Service Division

and to seize the Machinas!

Get the Factors right away and...

Hello?! What happened, Aonuma-san?!

Aonuma-san!

He's been wounded! Find him!

Yes, Sir!

Everyone, please hurry up and get out of there...

This is bad! We're bein' blocked from all sides!

I can't believe the SSDF is colluding with the Katou Organization...

It seems like this plan has been in motion for some time.

M-Moritsugu-san...

Members of JUDA's Special Service Division!

This voice is!

On behalf of the new Kiriyama Administration,

I am here to notify you

that the Kiriyama Administration, governing the newly reborn Japan,

has deemed you to be an armed anti-state organization.

Therefore, you will immediately surrender all materials, machinery,

and equipment, including the Machinas, and turn yourselves in.

If there is no response within the one-hour grace period,

you will be invaded by force.

If you surrender without resisting,

we will guarantee your lives.

Doumyouzi! Get real, ya moron! Scum! Bonehead!

Ya ungrateful bastard!

- Who the hell do ya think took ya to that tropical island?! - Sister, it's dangerous!

You're pretty much back to your old self.

Yeah! As you can see, I'm at the top of my form, too!

By the way, it seems you're special somehow.

You can move, even when the other Machinas can't.

You really are amazing.

You let Kizaki pilot you earlier, too, didn't you?

What the heck are you thinking?

Well, for my part, I can't just allow myself to be protected like this.

Ishigami made a desperate plea to me, after all.

And above all, I am the champion of justice!

Turn ourselves in?!

Why, Yamashita?!

Why should we hafta surrender ourselves to the likes of them?!

We have no choice, do we?!

Even if we wanted to resist, we're unarmed here!

I refuse to bow down to 'em! They're the ones in the wrong!

We trusted 'em... and to betray us...

But Sister, we still can't fight against the people of the SSDF.

Izuna?! Not you, too?!

Besides, they say that if we don't resist,

they'll guarantee our lives...

We can't trust those words.

Moritsugu-san shot the CEO, remember?

When he hadn't done anything...

The Linebarrel?

What in the world?

Hayase!

Do you mean to fight all by yourself?!

Of course!

I'm the only one capable of action, after all.

Hayase.

So that's your answer?

I won't let you have your way with my friends or JUDA!

I see.

Please wait.

There is no need for you to go to the trouble of summoning the Vardant.

If it's just the Linebarrel by itself, my Jinrai alone will be enough.

Very well.

I'll show you how a pro fights, Hayase!

Doumyouzi?!

You bastard...

Happiness for our corps commander

means happiness for all of us in the Hayase Corps!

Hayase, you'd better make sure you find happiness

or you'll have to answer to me!

The Hayase Corps, my ass!

You just say whatever you think people want to hear!

You lying bastard!

What's wrong?

You came out here all hyped up and that's the best you've got?

Damn it!

Don't underestimate me!

Looks like you've improved a little, at least.

- Shove it! - But!

You're still a long way from having that edge!

I told you, didn't I?!

If you only rely on your power and speed,

you can't win!

I'll protect everyone!

That's my brand of justice!

What the heck? I guess there was no need for me to go easy on you.

Hayase, take the Linebarrel and run!

What?

Doumyouzi!

That was pitiful, Doumyouzi-kun!

But thanks to you, I got the best unveiling ever!

Thank you!

It transformed into a humanoid?!

What is that Machina?!

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Kouichi Hayase-kun.

I am Eiji Kiriyama, the president of the newly reborn Japan.

And this cool guy's my Machina, the Pretender.

Eiji Kiriyama?

Why did you do this?!

When you address me, I'd like you to call me "Your Excellency."

Well, then, Hayase-kun, shall we...

...have a little fun?!

Like this is going to bring me down!

What the?!

Dance, Linebarrel!

For me!

What... is this?

K-Kouichi-kun!

Izuna, could those be?

Yeah.

That's a wireless Nerve Crack!

That's right, you...

...will be killed by the terror created by your own subconscious.

Take your time to fully enjoy it.

After all, soon, you won't be feeling anything.

Well, then, Hayase-kun,

I hate to see you go,

but this is good-bye!

Kouichi-kun!

Hayase-kun!

Farewell!

What?!

I mean, after all, I am the true justice in this country...

You are despicable.
