"Comedy JUDA TV"

Hi there!

Boys 'n' girls across the world,

are ya watchin' us again today?!

It's time for JUDA TV!

Sister!

Scary Katou Organization people are being mean to me!

They yell at you for expressing the slightest dissenting opinion

and if you resist them, they take you away to a scary place!

That's unforgivable!

Not even bein' allowed to freely say what ya wanna say is crazy!

They said you're not allowed to have that paper fan, either.

What was that?! They really are scum, aren't they?!

My paper fan's my love and my soul!

- Ya feel that?! - Shizuna-chan and her brother are always so funny.

- Yeah! - Honestly!

- You shouldn't watch shows like this! - Don't ya run from my tough love!

Oh? That's strange...

- You can't change the channel while JUDA TV's on. - What?

Yes, the Katou Organization's strong! And they've got tons of Armas, too!

That's why they've got countries all over the world dancin' to their tune!

Maybe there was no choice, because they said they wouldn't wage war

as long as everyone shut up and obeyed them.

That's naive!

Ya never know when they might change their stance!

On that score, we of JUDA're different.

We've been puttin' our lives on the line,

fightin' the Katou Organization since way before this happened.

We even have a member who joined JUDA

because his precious friend was killed by the Katou Organization.

That's right! He was a stupid, annoyin', total amateur,

but somewhere along the way, he became strong,

takin' the lead and fightin'.

Before we knew it, we were the ones tryin' to keep up with him.

We can't let him be the only one bein' all cool!

We're gonna work hard, too, so y'all lend us yer support!

Oh?

"Please wait one moment."

Your boring broadcast ends now.

- The Katou Organization! - So ya showed up!

Now, play with me, little boy!

I will decline!

Suspendin' broadcast!

Izuna, we're pullin' out!

Deceive retreating!

Oh, dear, you didn't put up much of a fight.

After I came all this way... How disappointing.

Chest!

Sorry to keep you waiting, Endou siblings!

- Jack-san! - My, my, now there's a surprising face.

So you left us to be a bodyguard to these people playing TV station?

One's path is only known to oneself!

We will prove the legitimacy of JUDA to the world, without fail!

And we can't lose until we do!

Here we go, Jack-san!

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

Oh, for crying out loud!

Why did I have to suffer like this at Yajima's hands?!

Isn't this awful?!

Darn that bastard!

Kouichi.

The location data of an island in the Sea of Okhotsk was on that thing.

As I recall,

I think this is where there's a Russian nuclear submarine base.

Kouichi-kun...

I know.

I want to go rescue Kizaki right this minute, too,

but right now, I'm the only one at JUDA who can be a frontline defender.

If I do something stupid and I go down,

we'd be playing right into the Katou Organization's hands.

I know that much.

Hayase's making sense!

You've grown so much!

No! A smart Kouichi like that isn't Kouichi!

Wh-What?!

Now, now.

Sheesh.

But are you really okay with that?

Knowing Yajima, I don't think Kizaki's in any danger.

Can we trust him?

He's a member of the Katou Organization now.

If he's been ordered to, he might take Kizaki-san and...

He wouldn't!

Yajima wouldn't do something like that!

Because... there's no way he would...

Yajima always used to protect Kouichi and me, and...

It's that Katou Organization that's bad, right?!

And that huge robot!

And Yajima's right arm!

And the power that blew Furuya away! All of it!

Probably.

Yajima-kun became that Machina's Factor at the Katou Organization.

Factor? What's a Factor?

Kouichi pilots a robot like him, too...

You don't mean...

Is the reason Kouichi suddenly got strong?

You never told her?

Kouichi, what happened?!

Why did things end up this way?!

Come on! Tell me!

Why did Yajima do that?!

Yajima... did it for you...

For me? What do you mean?

Kouichi! What is it?!

- Come on! Kouichi! - I can't. Yajima has to be the one to tell her.

Man, that Furuya... Huh?

Hayase, you're still here?!

Hurry up and go rescue Kizaki...

The Supreme Commander's given the order!

Now, I can finally go kill them!

Those bastards who got the Old Man!

- Captain Sawatari! - Hah! That's nothing!

I'm counting on you, Masaki!

Sphere production field, commencing interference.

Hey, man, what the heck is that?!

That's what they use to install the Spheres...

Yes. An electromagnetic wave used to warp space-time.

They're planning to neutralize our shield with that!

They just had to come now!

Hayase, you go rescue Kizaki.

What? But...

It's fine! Just leave things here to us!

It's not like you to agonize endlessly like this!

- What? - He's got a point.

We need you to be more simple-minded, Hayase.

You never had a brain to begin with, so thinking is a waste of time!

Yup, that's right.

Kizaki was your brain, so you better hurry up and get her back.

Y-You guys!

A girl's in danger, you know.

Going to rescue her should be a no-brainer, right?

We'll protect JUDA and Misaki Town. You'll see.

Yup, that's right.

So don't worry.

Look after Emi-chan for us.

We're counting on you, champion of justice.

Y-You guys...

Come on, get going already!

R-Right!

Wait, Kouichi! I want to see Yajima, too, and...

Almost there. Just you wait, Two-Horns.

"To Yamashita"

I will protect this place for Kouichi-kun to come back to!

You love him, don't you?

Hisataka... Katou!

You!

Because of you!

Emi Kizaki...

...has not arrived here yet.

What?

She and Yajima-kun seem to be taking a little detour.

How about we have a little chat until those two arrive?

I apologize for my crude methods.

Hisataka Katou is here?

No.

Before I hand you over to the Supreme Commander,

I want to have a private word with you.

- What? - Do you...

Do you love Kouichi?

This is a Russian nuclear submarine base,

but the Katou Organization has taken it over now.

At this point, the entire world is our good friend.

So what about it?

With regards to Emi Kizaki's safety,

have faith in the character of Hideaki Yajima, whom you know.

What did you guys do to Yajima?

Nothing.

At the time, the Apparition had just had its Factor eliminated,

so it immediately sought a new Factor

and he was chosen.

We merely retrieved it.

The Apparition's D-Soil is not as efficient as the Linebarrel's.

So it took some time for him to fully recover.

But I can't believe Yajima would do something like that!

In that case, Kouichi Hayase-kun,

having been restored to life by the Linebarrel,

have you become a different person?

The same is true for him.

Me?

Do you stay by Kouichi's side because you love him?

You don't have an answer to that?

So you've been hanging around him, though you don't even like him?

I was... just...

Were you only using him?

As the Linebarrel's Factor?

- That is not it! - Then what was it?!

You were just leading him on and making him fight, weren't you?!

No, it isn't like that!

But... I don't know...

I really don't know.

Like hell that's true!

You've been sticking by Kouichi's side,

forcing Risako aside, causing her pain!

You don't even like Kouichi,

but you put on this outfit, throwing it in her face!

Did you have fun doing that?!

l-It wasn't...

Previously, when I invited you to join us,

you refused, citing Yajima-kun as your reason.

But that problem no longer exists.

You're going to try to recruit me again?

Things have changed since then.

You must be starting to notice various things yourself.

In the face of our power, this world has ceased to put up resistance.

"Katou Organization and Various Heads of State in Talks, Moving Towards Peace Agreement"

They have chosen fleeting peace and fallen silent.

There is no imagination for the future there.

They close their eyes, only wishing to maintain the current state of affairs.

I believe its name was Elpis...

The blind hope left at the bottom of Pandora's Box.

If you guys hadn't carried out this world conquest,

we would've continued to have peace!

There was something about this in an old movie.

Thirty years of tyranny under the Borgias

produced Michelangelo, da Vinci, and the Renaissance.

But what did 500 years of peace and democracy in Switzerland produce?

Huh?

The cuckoo clock.

What is required to give rise to imagination?

That is oppression.

Struggling to be free of oppression gives rise to imagination.

Then what kind of oppression is most suited to giving rise to imagination?

That is "death."

Those who should live and those who should not.

Making a clear distinction between them

serves as the greatest form of oppression.

Don't be ridiculous!

There's no way there are people whose deaths wouldn't matter!

- People? Can those things be called people? - What?

Beings who have lost the power of imagination, just living day-to-day.

Such beings are like machines that slavishly follow their programming,

no different than Machinas.

In that case,

we will become the Factor for the Machina called mankind.

We will be the "murder factor" of all such beings.

We, the Factors, will cull the Machinas without the power of imagination.

We will allow only those who struggle for survival

to realize the future of humanity.

That is the Katou Organization's version of "world conquest."

Kouichi Hayase,

if you wish to achieve true justice, come to the Katou Organization.

Sorry about that.

But I really want you to understand.

If you don't care for Kouichi, distance yourself from him.

There's a girl that you're hurting by sticking close to Kouichi.

She's always done everything she could for Kouichi's sake

and she's a pure-hearted, devoted girl.

So, please don't...

...make her suffer more than she already has.

Is it... Risako-san?

You... love Risako-san?

Stuff about me doesn't matter.

What in the world do you want?

I...

At first,

I cursed fate.

I was horrified at what a terrible person I had turned into a Factor.

But...

Now, is it to fight?

Is it for the sake of our mission to save the world?

Or am I...

What is it that I myself want to do?

If you can't come up with an answer,

I'll have to take matters into my own hands.

You don't belong by Kouichi's side.

- The shield! - Here they come!

Here we go!

Bullet Arms!

You're not getting one step past us!

We're going to shrink the shield area by 2km and redeploy it!

Everyone pull back!

Even if we hole up inside the shield,

there's no point unless we take down that huge guy!

We'll hold them off here!

We have to hang on until Hayase comes back!

Never mind us! Redeploy the shield!

Don't forget the courage that saw you through even blazing flames

Why, you!

I will protect this place with my own power, no matter what!

I will protect this place with my own power, no matter what!

For I'll never let go of this hand that I'm holding

Because Kouichi-kun is my champion of justice!

I won't be outdone by Emi-chan!

Kouichi's a real dummy.

He said he was going to be a champion of justice.

That's all he talked about since he was little.

We protected him because he was always getting bullied.

But now...

Hayase-kun has power now.

Don't fear tomorrow's darkness that we can't see

It's only natural that he'd want to protect you guys, right?

But I don't care about that...

I don't care!

Because your purpose in life will always be right here

Risako-san,

why don't you stay with us for a while and watch Hayase-kun in action?

Proud of you

What?

The destiny you harbor breaks through the star-encrusted sky

People today are powerless Machinas.

What point is there in risking your life to protect such beings?

What point is there in risking your life to protect such beings?

If you're going to swear to continue protecting, start running now

You probably wouldn't understand.

To want to fight back, but to be unable to...

How it feels to have no choice but to cling to stupid dreams...

But I do understand!

But I do understand!

Don't forget the light that envelops even storms

How it feels to be them!

I now have the power to fight!

If it's a promise, have faith in the radiance etched

It's true that I received that power from Kizaki and it's not my own.

My sense of justice may be a totally useless, insignificant thing.

But I still want to become a true champion of justice!

I won't forget about Judy.

I won't forget Ishigami's desperate plea.

There are powerless people out there like the guy I used to be.

There are people who had faith in me and had hopes for me.

That's why I'm going to fight!

Then you will die.

Along with the Machinas who cover every inch of this world.

It appears that they have arrived.

Huh?

Wha?!

I have brought Emi Kizaki.

I housed her in the basement as you instructed.

Good work.

But I no longer have need of her.

Hayase-kun,

take her and go on back home.

- Wha?! - You should take the underground passage.

I enjoyed this.

I suppose the next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield?

Take care of my little sister.

Shield at Touriya Block 3 terminated!

Redeploy shield from Tenjin Street to Sakae Town!

SSDF unit in Misaki Ginza retreating to area in front of train station!

What is the meaning of this?!

This was not what we discussed!

It means Kouichi Hayase still proved to be more than I had imagined.

Thanks to that, we can truncate the timetable by two stages.

I accepted that order for Kouichi and Risako's sake!

But if they're both allowed to return together, it changes nothing!

Is that not more convenient for you?

If things go well between Kouichi Hayase and Emi Kizaki?

Stuff about me doesn't matter!

I'm grateful to you for taking me in.

But that...

...doesn't mean I've become one of your men!

With no regard whatsoever for himself, only acting for the sake of others...

It brings back memories...

You, too, lived only for the sake of the world

and that is how you died.

Yajima... said that?

Yes.

I see.

Hayase-kun? Um...

About Risako-san... Do you...

This is! Don't tell me!

This is for your own good!

Kouichi!

Yajima...
