H-Hayase...

You damn idiot! Going all harebrained by yourself!

Everyone's waiting to give you hell when you get back, so be ready for it!

Okay. I'm sorry.

What are you doing, Moritsugu-san?!

As JUDA stands now, it has no chance of winning this war.

What?!

You must understand it now yourself, Yamashita.

What an unskilled and powerless being you are.

So what?!

So what if we're unskilled and powerless?!

We'll never lose!

Even if you're our opponent,

we'll win without fail and protect the entire world! You'll see!

Hayase...

Quite the confidence you have there.

However, even that is ultimately but a fleeting thing.

Come, Hayase.

I will show you what true violence is.

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

What are you doing, Risako?!

You barely even call and you haven't come home for days!

I'm sorry, Mother.

You're not like Kouichi-kun or the other members of JUDA, you know.

If you understand that, then come on home already.

All right?

Okay...

How are Kouichi-kun and the others?!

The Linebarrel and the Vardant have just entered into combat.

Yamashita-kun seems to be all right,

but the Hind-Kind is no longer fit for combat.

The Flag will head to their location immediately.

Roger. Setting course for the base of Mt. Fuji.

Izuna, what d'ya see inside Kiriyama back there?

I don't really know.

It was like an incredibly huge system, but one that's empty on the inside...

A system?

Many consciousnesses all connected together as one,

expanding to swallow me up...

To crush me...

Izuna!

I'm sorry! It was wrong of me to ask!

Just rest for now, 'kay?

He wasn't... human.

Relying on brute force the same as ever, huh?

I can easily read your sword strokes, Hayase.

What did you say?!

Come on! What's wrong, Moritsugu-san?!

Hurry up and show me what this "true violence" is!

Understood.

Wh-What the?!

Damn it all!

Hayase!

Hayase, you say that you will become a champion of justice.

However, justice that cannot save anyone is meaningless!

You may peremptorily proclaim your righteousness,

but if you do not have the power to carry it through,

it is all just a pipe dream.

Nothing but a delusion.

Put up a fight if you can, champion of justice.

If you cannot, then die here.

In that case...

...I'll show you...

...the power of justice!

What's wrong?

Why? Why?!

I told you, I can read you.

No matter how you capitalize on the capabilities of Mode B,

if your attack patterns do not change, predicting them is easy.

Is this the best your justice can do?

The Linebarrel is special.

Outstripping the power of all Machinas,

it is the final, greatest trump card!

You are responsible for that power and this is what you do with it?!

Show me skill that is worthy of the grand claims you made!

Defeat is not an option.

Don't think you can die and be free of your misery!

He missed?!

On purpose?!

Moritsugu-san... Could this possibly be?

The event's probability boundary is showing a stable pulse.

Estimated time to Dimension Peeler start-up, 18 hours.

We have successfully contacted Central.

Situation is as planned.

1st Encampment of six million will invade upon start-up of the Peeler.

They are requesting guidance.

We will send the Glain Neidr.

Roger.

Will you be able to execute the operation to wipe out JUDA

even in my absence?

There will be no problem.

More importantly, be sure not to run into any unforeseen accidents

while traversing the dimensions.

Give my regards to our superior officer.

Any indicator that designates a particular individual

holds no meaning at Central, though.

Ah, yes, that is right.

It looks like we will make it in time somehow.

He did it again!

Moritsugu-san's purposefully avoiding a decisive blow...

But Hayase's attack speed is increasing, too.

So in the end, you were a champion of justice who was all talk.

To think you are not even capable of killing me.

Me, who stooped to join the Katou Organization,

who sold out this country, and who took Ishigami's life.

Then I will kill you, too.

And everyone at the SSD as well.

Everyone whom you boasted that you would protect!

Like hell... I'll let you...

Everyone's entrusted me with their desperate hope!

That's why... That's why I...

I absolutely can't lose!

This is...

I'm pretty sure it's happened before...

Hayase!

M-Moritsugu-san!

So, it responded...

The "Machina Killer" responded to his almost blindly honest will...

Yamashita!

You got the data on that, right?

What? Uh, yes!

That is the true Linebarrel.

Knowing Hayase, he can only advance in a straight line...

...so you back him up.

M-Moritsugu-san, you...

Don't forget what that felt like, Hayase.

Now, we can move on to the final stage.

What?!

That is!

Data verified.

That's Hisataka Katou's flagship, the Shangrila!

Ladies and gentlemen of JUDA, I am happy to see you looking so well.

Our situation is such that we have entered the final phase.

In approximately 15 hours,

the Dimension Peeler will start up

and at the same time, the other side will commence their invasion.

My friends, I trust you are prepared to fight?

Damn straight we are!

We'll beat 'em to a pulp along with y'all, so ya better be ready for it!

Very well. Then as of this moment,

we propose that we form a united front with JUDA.

Huh?

Our true objectives here at the Katou Organization

were to stop and destroy the invasion from "the other side,"

and to nurture the strength and will to fight here in this world

with an eye towards the final decisive battle that was to come.

And at this time, that objective has been more than achieved.

Is that not right, Reiji?

Yes.

What in the world's goin' on?

It has been a long time, Emi.

Bro... ther...

Humanity in that world was, for all intents and purposes, already dead.

They existed as beings, but there were no individuals.

Thought existed, but there were no emotions.

Individuality was maintained as genetic fluctuations,

but the mind was inexorably bent towards conformity with the unified whole.

Machinas...

In an attempt to escape the bonds of body and mind,

man chose to merge with machine.

The networked will became the very mind of every individual

and the "self" was stipulated by a division of roles

that served the needs of the group.

Perfect efficiency.

Desire was eradicated, and thus, there were no more conflicts.

The world became replete with absolute peace,

technology advanced without limit,

and in this way, the species called man ceased to exist.

These Machinized people were left with just one thing...

The urge to expand.

The single mind devoid of individuality

not only did this to their own world,

but began to work to expand this unity to other worlds as well.

To make all as one.

That is the reason they come, crossing over dimensional boundaries.

Amagatsu Kizaki.

He was the last of humanity to fight to stop their proliferation.

With a mere handful of like-minded colleagues,

he resurrected the Factor system,

which had been forgotten as a transitional technology.

I think your ideal is correct, too, Father!

If no lives have to be sacrificed, nothing would be better!

But taking that gamble is far too reckless!

Even this laboratory is a target of surveillance, you know!

It must be done even so.

Father!

Amagatsu Kizaki, Central has deemed your existence nonessential

and has decided upon your termination.

Hisataka.

All for the sake of true justice...

Am I right?

Go, Hisataka.

Follow the path you believe in.

Father... Father!

Emi...

Emi, I!

Hisataka Katou.

You have made a great contribution to the optimization of the System.

Your actions here will surely be highly esteemed by Central.

Father!

Emi, go...

Together with the Linebarrel...

You...

You alone have the ability to fully unleash...

...that counter-Machina's powers...

Go. And make the world...

Father? Father!

Emi, do not think ill...

...of your brother.

Hisataka Katou...

Mother's maiden name...

My brother... killed my father...

Having successfully infiltrated the other side,

I came over to this world as the vanguard of the invasion.

And I formed the Katou Organization, and as we made preparations,

we strewed death upon this world, spurring people's imaginations.

So that the people of this world could stand up for themselves

against the great threat that would soon arrive from an alien world.

In other words, we've been dancing to your tune from the very beginning.

You've gotta be kiddin' me!

How much blood do ya think's been shed 'cause of that?!

I intend to take their invasion force

and seal them away for eternity in an interdimensional chasm.

In order to do that, all of your cooperation

and the Linebarrel are essential.

My friends.

Now is the time when we ought to turn everything in both our arsenals

against the enemy from the other side.

Mister...

But that doesn't mean!

I agree. It's not easy to just go along with this.

You guys killed the Old Man, after all!

We haven't forgotten about the people who were killed, either!

I will fight.

Izuna?

No matter what happens, we cannot let humans become those things...

We cannot let them become Machina Humans!

Those who are Machinized lose their humanity

in exchange for immeasurable powers.

Even Eiji Kiriyama was unable to preserve his human nature.

This is neither an order nor a threat.

Ultimately, it is your choice to make.

If pressed, I suppose I'd call this a "desperate plea."

I will never forgive you guys for what you've done.

But I also know that there's no other way to protect the world right now.

So...

I'll accept your proposal.

That is just fine.

We have come to an agreement, then.

Can't be helped.

Okay, I'll look forward to working with you for a while.

P-Please stop!

Hey! Get away from Izuna!

Oh, really! You're an annoying imp of a girl!

Who're ya callin' an imp?!

Unhappy, as might be expected?

Of course, I am!

Even if it is an order coming from you, this is just...

Indeed!

I even went so far as to leave the organization

in order to settle the score with Reiji Moritsugu!

But now I end up in the same camp once again?!

What is to become of my way of the sword?!

So in the end, we were only being used by Hisataka Katou...

Well, I'm actually pretty grateful, too.

Because thanks to that, I get to be a part of this whole thing.

You're really laid back about this.

Listen up.

You all need to be about as relaxed as Doumyouzi-kun or you won't survive.

We don't want to hear that from you, Sir!

Or rather, that was mean of you, Sir.

You could have at least said something about this to us.

I understood Katou's intent,

but that would have resulted in far too much bloodshed.

That is why I left the Katou Organization

to look for a different path to follow.

Consequently,

I ended up putting Moritsugu-kun through the most trouble.

But thanks to that, we were finally able to start up the Flag.

The Flag?

In order to turn the Flag into an asset for us,

someone had to abandon their physical body

and merge with the Flag.

So, well, I basically took on that role.

I ended up thrusting the dirty work onto Moritsugu-kun

and I feel really bad about that.

No, while it was a necessary measure, it does not change the facts.

I will do what I must to the very end.

Risako.

Kouichi.

You're getting off?

Yeah, they said I'll be picked up in 30 minutes.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to do anything.

I left one last batch of cookies on the table in the CEO's office,

so eat it with everyone.

S-Sure...

Good luck.

Yeah, just watch, I'll protect this world without fail!

Am I... part of that, too?

Of course! So don't worry, you just...

R-Risako...

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates Do your best out there, Kouichi!

Don't forget it, no matter what Do your best out there, Kouichi!

Don't forget it, no matter what

Don't forget it, no matter what

Don't forget it, no matter what Risako-chan!

Don't forget it, no matter what Kujou-san...

Don't forget it, no matter what Be careful on your way home!

Don't forget it, no matter what When things settle down, let's go sing karaoke again!

When things settle down, let's go sing karaoke again!

Yeah! It's a promise!

Wait, what's this all of a sudden? Hey!

- Wait, come on... You don't have to do this! - And a one, two...

Ow, that hurt...

The light of tears spilling out Ow, that hurt...

The light of tears spilling out

The light of tears spilling out They're nuts...

The light of tears spilling out - May I help you? - What? Oh...

The light of tears spilling out Could it be you've come to comfort me, thinking that I may be depressed?

Will eternally illuminate even unending darkness Could it be you've come to comfort me, thinking that I may be depressed?

Will eternally illuminate even unending darkness

Will eternally illuminate even unending darkness I am sorry, but there is no need for that.

Will eternally illuminate even unending darkness Wha... Why are you talking to me like that?!

Will eternally illuminate even unending darkness I will see to it that this world is kept safe.

Will eternally illuminate even unending darkness For that was my father's final wish that he entrusted to me.

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates For that was my father's final wish that he entrusted to me.

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates You're going to protect this world because your father told you to?

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates What do you really want to do yourself?

The strength to run the course as your heart dictates I!

Don't forget it, no matter what I!

Don't forget it, no matter what

Don't forget it, no matter what If that isn't what you yourself want,

Don't forget it, no matter what there shouldn't be any reason for you to push yourself to fight.

Don't forget it, no matter what

Don't forget it, no matter what You are not being fair.

With the words "It'll be okay"in your heart You are not being fair.

With the words "It'll be okay"in your heart

With the words "It'll be okay"in your heart K-Kizaki?

With the words "It'll be okay"in your heart

With the words "It'll be okay"in your heart I...

With the words "It'll be okay"in your heart What I want... myself is...

Keep on having faith...

Keep on having faith... What I want... myself is...

Keep on having faith...

"When I grow up, I'm marrying my brother"...

You are despicable!
