Original subtitles

Okay.

Then, Miu-miu, give it another try.

Begin circulating D-Soil.

Switch to auto-repair mode...

How is it?

D-Soil activation rate 31%. Repair rate 37%.

I don't see much of a change...

I see.

I thought having the Factor on board might make some difference, but...

It can't be helped. I guess we'll think of a different approach.

Miu-miu, we're going to take a break.

- Miu-miu? - What?

I said, let's take a little breather...

Oh, sorry.

What's wrong?

Oh, I think I'm a little tired.

You okay?

Of course! Now's not the time to be getting worn out, after all.

Then we'll resume in 15 minutes.

Okay.

- A malfunction in the Painkiller's D-Soil? - Yeah.

I don't think there's any other reason for the auto-repair's poor performance

or the decline in Miu-miu's vital gauge readings.

But if something's malfunctioning in the D-Soil itself,

that's pretty troublesome.

I agree.

For the time being, we may have to...

Yeah. We may have no choice

but to think of Miu-kun and the Painkiller as unfit for combat.

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

Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to what we have to say!

We have an urgent situation here!

The Spheres installed all over the world by the Katou Organization

are terminals that stabilize energy that will bore a dimensional hole.

That massive amount of energy will be gathered at the Hub Fountain,

the final Sphere installed in Misaki Town,

and it will be fired off into orbit,

where it will form a giant gate in space-time.

In other words, folks from another world

are tryin' to dig a hole in the dimensional border between us

to invade our world!

How 'bout it?! No way we can quietly let 'em get away with this injustice, right?!

Any developments over at JUDA?

Headquarters hasn't made any unusual moves.

A detachment showed up at the UN to do PR work,

but it seems they were driven away by the local security force.

Then what about the Flag?

They seem to have just begun to get into the final start-up program.

Just as I had imagined.

In that case, let us proceed to the next stage of that operation.

So the UN refused to respond?

After we went all the way over there with the intel we got, too!

Every last one of 'em is too chicken to make a move!

They're a bunch of the most moronic morons!

Worthless bastards, worse than Hayase!

Sister, calm down!

But if that's the case, we'll have to think of some other way.

We'll be returning briefly as well,

so let's discuss possible countermeasures.

- Yamashita, ya okay? - Huh?

Ya seem different than usual somehow.

Ya sure ya don't have some problem?

Oh...

What? You do, Yamashita-san?

There isn't really anything.

That Machina is crying.

For it is limited by a weak Factor

and it cannot live up to its full potential.

For the time being, we may have to...

Yeah.

We may have no choice

but to think of Miu-kun and the Painkiller as unfit for combat.

Here you are! Enjoy!

Wow! It's so cute!

It looks super yummy!

You've improved again, haven't you, Risako?

I don't even know how to make any of that stuff.

Miu-miu, can you make things like this?

What?

Something as good as this is beyond me, too...

l-I'm just doing what I can do, that's all.

I've always loved making sweets since I was little

and I just sort of learned how to by making them often...

What I can do...?

It looks like the analysis on Project JUDA only has a bit more to go,

so we should finally be able to start up all the systems.

But you know, the CEO could've at least left us a manual.

I think the system's core was probably beyond the Boss's capabilities, too.

It's not something that was made here at JUDA,

but something from the other world, like the Machinas and the D-Soil.

I see. Which makes Kizaki-san the perfect person to analyze it.

And it looks like her memories are coming back bit by bit, too.

She's been in a good mood lately, so I'm glad.

You've got some cream on you.

I-I'll do it myself!

It's okay. Come on, just hold still.

I said I'll do it myself!

Now, then...

First of all, to prevent the Dimension Peeler

from starting up and opening the space-time gate,

we just need to destroy any one of the Spheres...

But right now, we're incapable of tampering with any of them.

Still, considering the scale of this system,

there must be a unit that controls them.

So we've decided to take each Sphere's energy phase

and calculate backwards to figure out the location of the control unit.

I see.

That, we might be able to destroy.

That's a nice turn of events!

Let's mobilize right away and attack the enemy's home base!

Like I said, we're currently working on figuring out its location!

Besides, we can't know if that'll be the enemy's home base.

And even if we'd located it,

we couldn't just mobilize immediately anyway.

You're jumping the gun as always, Hayase.

But you're young, so I can understand wanting to do it right away.

You should listen carefully to what other people say, Kouichi.

Wh-What's with everyone?!

It'll be fine!

Because no matter what anyone says, you're cool, Kouichi-kun!

What?

Why does everyone talk about you like you're a hopeless case?

You're amazing, you know!

You've gotten so much stronger than before

and you're doing your job protecting everyone...

You're a fine champion of justice!

I really...

I...

l-I...

See you again next week!

"See you again next week"?

Am I really that cool?

Sheesh. Risako slapped me for all she was worth...

Wha?! Miu!

Hey, you okay?!

Hang in there!

Kouichi... kun...

Sheesh, who the heck works out so hard that you get to that point?

I'm sorry.

I'm just a burden on everyone who only makes trouble...

You're a precious member of our group.

There's no way we think of you as trouble or a burden.

You really are cool, Kouichi-kun...

Wha...

Uh, don't you think you're laying it on a little thick?

I want to be of help to you.

What?

I want to be a champion of justice with you

and be able to protect what's important...

Being unable to protect anything and just crying...

I don't ever want that again...

I wanted to become a champion of justice like you, too...

Why say that in the past tense?

There's no reason for you to give up, right?

You can just become one starting now.

Become a champion of justice.

That's... true...

But I feel a bit relieved now.

What?

You always seem like you keep all your problems to yourself,

so I'm relieved that you know how to share your vulnerable side, too.

Getting depressed or griping about stuff...

It's okay to be like that, too.

Once in a while.

I'm sorry!

What?!

What am I doing?!

Doing something like that will only put Kouichi-kun on the spot!

An emergency situation has developed!

The Deceive appears to have come under attack

from the Katou Organization near the Hawaii Islands!

What's with these guys?! Playin' dirty, lyin' in ambush!

We'll turn the tables on 'em and beat 'em to a pulp!

Are you sure you should do that?

Take a good look around you.

What?

Sister, those aren't members of the Katou Organization!

What d'you say?!

Both the fleet and the Armas are the UN's forces!

Th-That's impossible...

The location is in the Hawaii Islands.

19 degrees 28 minutes north latitude,

155 degrees 36 minutes east longitude.

Roger that.

Man... First Risako and now Miu...

Girls don't make any sense.

Why the heck would she?

Focus! Focus!

Kouichi-kun.

M-Miu!

I'll be mobilizing, too, so good luck to us both.

What? Are you okay?

We need Satoru-kun and the others to protect this place,

and above all else, I want to be active right now.

B-But...

Also...

Don't worry about what just happened earlier.

Later.

Shizuna, Izuna, you guys okay?!

We are so sorry, Hayase-san.

Be careful, Hayase. There's also UN Forces here, too.

Looks that way...

- You okay, Miu?! - I'm sorry!

Hello.

We have been waiting for you, Linebarrel.

And of course, for you as well,

Miss Factor of the Painkiller.

J-Jack-san?!

You bastards!

Terrible things will happen if you go on an indiscriminate rampage.

Damn it!

Do you not have it in you to wantonly take lives?

How inconvenient it must be to be champions of justice.

I don't want to hear about justice from you!

Sing beautifully!

Come now, more! More, I say!

K-Kouichi-kun!

My, my...

You've become awfully manly, haven't you?

The Linebarrel acted to protect us...

Captain, what in the world should we do?!

Th-The only orders we have

are to provide the Katou Organization with protection!

- Fire! - Y-Yes, Sir!

Kouichi-kun!

This is the finishing blow!

Good grief.

Please. Cut it out, would you?

I prefer to torment others, rather than be tormented myself!

It's going to end badly at this rate!

- We should mobilize, too! - Yes.

Please wait one moment, everyone!

We have just finished the analysis on Project JUDA!

What?!

Then, finally...

Yes, we will commence starting up the Flag now.

Hawaii will be a short flight away for the Flag!

All right! Let's go right away!

Miu!

No getting distracted now, little boy.

What happened to your auto-repair function?

You do technically have a Machina, after all...

Do you enjoy pain that much?

Like hell!

The Painkiller's D-Soil activation rate has dropped to 19%!

The Factor's cardiopulmonary functions are both at their limit!

What is the matter? Have you broken already?

This was more boring than I had expected.

Miu!

Kouichi-kun...

How can you guys just...

Hisataka Katou is trying to bring in invaders from another world.

Don't you guys care if this world gets destroyed?!

It would not bother me.

Conversely, I have a question for you, Kouichi Hayase-kun.

You think this world is worth protecting?

Do you truly believe that its inhabitants are worth protecting?

Look at those folks.

In the face of overwhelming power,

they quickly abandoned their own sense of justice and their own ideals.

There was once a time when I, too,

was passionate about justice and ideals like you.

However, true justice and ideals exist only in the future!

Yes! Only in the future that Supreme Commander Katou will bring about!

Hayase!

I won't let you!

Th-This is!

The Painkiller's D-Soil has been activated!

Energy circulation at 250%!

Did she make a comeback?!

No! This is a deliberate berserking of the D-Soil!

She's accelerated the energy metabolic rate

to the apoptosis criticality!

What I hold in my heart is justice

Surely, Miu-san wouldn't!

Surely, Miu-san wouldn't!

My sun that burns red and hot

The truth slumbers frozen somewhere in this world

I reach out in search of it

I will protect Kouichi-kun!

I will protect Kouichi-kun!

How much love and sorrow will I touch?

To remain true to myself, I melt the darkness away

And the triumph that shields me

I'm sorry, Painkiller.

These energy readings...

She can't be!

Kouichi-kun, protect the world in my place for me.

Miu, are you planning to die?!

- Miu-san! - Don't do this!

Kouichi-kun, I really loved you.

Miu! Don't do it!

That is... Linebarrel's Mode B!

It can't be! Are you saying he activated it without your authorization?!

Miu, you dummy!

Where do you get off trying to get yourself killed like that?

Like hell I could do anything as uncool

as being saved at the cost of a friend's life!

I'm a champion of justice, remember?!

You really are cool, Kouichi-kun.

I can't watch this!

What?!

Soubi!

Damn!

All personnel, retreat!

All ships immediately make for Point D!

Cleveland, collect the Arma unit.

We will return to base after rendezvousing at Point D!

Is JUDA really the terrorist organization that people say it is?

Miu! Hey, get it together!

Kouichi-kun...

You're so reckless.

I'm taking you straight back to JUDA.

I'm okay.

See? Look.

It looks like the D-Soil's back to normal.

And I feel a lot better, too.

Sheesh, you sure had me worried.

I'm sorry.

Wha... Wh-Wha?!

I think I'll aspire to become a champion of justice once more!

Wh-What's that got to do with the kiss?!

First Risako-san and now Miu-san? Is it the in thing to do lately?

You're all okay, right?!

Isn't it incredible?!

This is the true identity of Project JUDA! The Flag!

Bravo! Bravo!

Man, you guys did good!

S-Sir!

Well, actually, the Flag is another thing I secretly brought from the Katou Organization.

It's kind of one of the parts

of the Katou's super-sized submarine, the Shangrila.

Brought from there?

This isn't on the order of "secretly."

Well, we'll make use of it since we've got it.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Kouichi-kun doesn't understand what's in a girl's heart,

but that's kind of cute, too.

Please, Katou Organization!

We're a bit busy right now,

so could you hold off on the world conquest for just a bit?

You are...
