Original subtitles

It seems you went to the Earth again, Bolf.

Yes.

I thought I'd get more detailed information on Mistress Tia.

Your knowledge and insight were useful in improving the Gardeners.

I thought quite highly of you.

Sir...

Humans prioritize the object of desire that is in front of them,

and don't look at the greater situation.

In the end you're like that too.

You disappointed me.

Sir, I...

Leave, Bolf.

Tia, just a bit more...

Soon I'll come to see you—in Gold.

3567 AD, November 1st

The lunar surface, 384421 kilometers above the Earth

We've finally made it down to here.

And the Heaven's Door is around here.

The Heaven's Door, huh?

I wonder what kind of place it is?

I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah...

Huh?

Didn't I tell you?

We've been able to see it for the past two days.

I don't really see anything.

You know, Yousuke, it's been bothering me for a while now...

That's right.

That's what we're going for, Heaven's Door.

It can't be that thing?

The Door looks just like a string.

I thought so, it's a space elevator.

This is bad, we've lost contact!

What's wrong, Jin?

Are some hunters being attacked?

It's really close to us!

Golden Demon

The Cantus was destroyed!

Damn. Professor, how many ships do we have left?

We don't have any, we're the last ones alive!

This is bad.

This route is safe! Why today, of all days!

Damn you...

Good work, Dominique!

Daras, they're coming from the right!

Dominique, Professor, hang on!

All right, take that!

Daras, in front of us!

Dammit...

What happened?

We'll deal with the Gardeners.

You guys head to the east!

Koichi, three of them are retreating.

You can't get away from Silber!

Got 'em!

Rear, category L, one unit.

Thanks, Selena.

If you chase them like that your back is wide open!

You might've gotten a little too into it, huh?

I'm sorry.

What power.

They destroyed them all in an instant.

Yeah, if I hadn't seen it myself I wouldn't have believed it.

Hunters, are you okay?

Do those amazing machines belong to you?

Yes, they belong to our companions.

I see. Thanks.

You saved us.

Thanks.

Now they'll be able to rest in peace.

No, I'm sorry this was all we could do.

So many people all killed by the Gardeners.

Don't make that face.

Let's eat some good food tonight and send off the dead well.

You'll come with us right?

Really?

What was that for?

I'm sorry, he's not good at holding back.

You don't need to.

You saved us.

I haven't seen you around here before, did you come down from the north?

Yes, we're hunters.

Are you as well?

Hunters. We were called that once.

But we gave that up.

We're the resistance.

If you chase them like that your back is wide open!

Tia, I'm sorry about this afternoon.

Why are you apologizing?

I've gotten used to fighting so I might've let my guard down a little.

Silber gets hurt, you'll get hurt too though.

It's okay.

You did your best to save the people who were attacked.

I love that about you.

So I'll help you.

Tia...

Koichi?

What are you doing, Tokito?

Get a hold of yourself!

Sis is tired, huh?

I'm going to go get some air!

I see you guys are after the Heaven's Door too.

That's a coincidence.

Yes. We heard that there are prosperous towns

and that we could get amazing machines.

Prosperous towns?

This area is overrun with Gardeners.

There's nothing like that.

But...

What does he mean?

You guys have the wrong idea.

What I said was that if you go to the south you could

get strong machines, and the parts would sell for a lot.

See...

Miss, you knew about us, huh?

The resistance will pay any price for parts that will help us fight the Gardeners.

Resistance?

How are you different from hunters?

You guys survive by hunting Gardeners and selling their parts.

Right?

Yes.

We work to exterminate the Gardeners from the face of the Earth.

Exterminate?

Can you do that?

You really don't know yet, do you?

I'm glad you met us.

Okay, I'll show you something interesting.

Now that I think about it, have you heard about humans piloting Gardeners?

No, I haven't.

Do you mean Crawlers?

No, and it was flying too...

There are still a lot of things we don't know.

You're right.

Oh, you're here.

What's this?

Are these pieces of Gardeners?

This is my lab.

I'm investigating the original functions of the Gardeners.

Original function?

Isn't it to shoot things like lasers, missiles and beams?

Those are only to support their original function.

Then what...

"The Gardeners appear where there is green."

Have you ever heard something like that?

Now that you mention it...

But that's wrong.

Green things grow where the Gardeners appear, is the right way.

Why is that?

The original purpose of the Gardeners is to restore the land.

That was the result of the professor's many years of research.

We didn't believe it at first either.

Many years ago, humans polluted this Earth to the point of unsuitability.

So the Gardeners were given the capability to restore it.

Given? By who?

Probably by the Consul on the moon.

From what the professor says, they're merely exterminating us,

"harmful insects", in order to accomplish their mission.

But even we insects have our pride.

We're not going to just shut up and die.

There's a route that the Consul is using to send the Gardeners to Earth.

That's the Heaven's Door.

Then the Gardeners are being made on the moon?

Get it!

If we destroy that corridor we may be able to stop the Gardeners from invading!

That's right, you're good at it.

I'm used to having a useless family that eats lots.

Potato peeler, bring me the next batch, quickly!

The Gardeners's original purpose was the restoration of the Earth's environment.

The Gardeners aren't humanity's enemy.

They're Earth's hope.

Is that what you meant, Bolf?

Bry...

There are a ton of cruisers!

Pretty good, huh?

Dares...

It took 10 years to get this many put together.

But it's still not enough.

The people who died yesterday were talented hunters.

It took everything I had to persuade them, and in the middle of joining the main group...

That happened.

If we were faster...

It's not your fault.

We're plenty thankful to you.

But I'm a greedy and shameless man.

There's something I want to ask you.

You want us to join the resistance.

I've been waiting the whole day to say it.

It showed, huh?

So?

What do you think?

Well, just think about it.

I'm going to hang on for as many years as it takes to achieve my objective.

Daras...

This has gotten weird...

Yup.

But you want to see that door right?

Was Selena tricking us?

Well, it wasn't a total lie.

Daras bought the parts and weapons we'd gathered.

But they say there are Gardeners as strong as Silber and Schwartz.

That's just a dangerous area.

Then are you going to turn back, Jin?

No way!

But nothing good comes of acting just out of curiosity.

Oh, so the machine we saw yesterday becomes this compact.

If Tia pilots it it'll become shaped like a human again.

I see—but this machines...

I see certain technological similarities with the Gardeners.

No, it's not like the Gardeners!

It was a machine that was made for Koichi.

Koichi?

She's talking about Tokito.

For some reason she calls me that.

Koichi. Koichi. I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.

Do you know who "Koichi" is?

Give me a second, and I think I can remember it...

Yes, what's up?

I don't really know, but Daras asked me to connect to you.

I'lI put him through.

Tokito, is that you?

I'm sorry, but can you send Silber out?

We've got an observation post up ahead, and it's watching

the Gardeners come out of the Heaven's Door, but...

We lost contact with them.

Watch the Door?

Why did you make them do something so dangerous?

To reduce the number of victims.

Even by telling people which way the Gardener groups head, we can buy time

for the people in the towns in their path to evacuate.

Normally the people in the watchtower are ready to go at a moment's notice, but...

I know it's asking too much, but please.

I'm sure there's a huge number of them.

Probably.

Tia...

Tia don't mind.

If that's what you want to do, Tia will go with you.

Thank you.

Daras, tell me where the observation post is.

Thanks, I'm in your debt.

How are our Crawlers doing?

We're adding the parts we bought onto our spare units.

We need to hurry.

I know.

We can't let them be the only ones to be in danger.

Tokito, do you regret that you got Silber?

Why?

You've gained a strong power by meeting Tia.

But that may mean you're forced to fight an even greater power.

Aren't you scared?

I'm not scared.

I'm scared of not being able to do anything.

Right now I'm the only one who can use Silber.

I don't want to regret anything.

Let's go, Tia!

Tokito...

You say that because you don't know what's going to happen from now on.

I can see it!

That's it!

How awful...

No way...

Nobody could survive this.

There are tons of them.

Koichi...

I know, but...

Even if this is to restore Earth,

that's wrong!

What?

That's...

Silber?

Tia...

That voice...

No!

Tia, I've come to get you.

Koichi!

Did she say "Koichi?"

Yes, Tia.

It's me, Koichi.

You are... Koichi.

I've made you lonely.

But you don't need to put up with that fake anymore.

Fake?

Tia, what's wrong, Tia?

That's right, Silber.

Kneel before the King of the Gardeners, Gold.

Stop!

I don't care if you're Koichi or not!

Silber is my power!

Right, Tia?

Tia!

It's useless.

She won't listen to the words of a fake in my presence.

I'm not a fake!

You aren't, you say?

Then what are you?

I'm Tokito Aizawa!

I'm not a fake Koichi.

I see.

Then you don't have the right to pilot Silber.

Die, not as a fake of me, but as a mere insect.

Tia?

Tia!

Tia is badly injured and hovers between life and death.

And Misuzu learns of Tokito and Tia's fierce love

for one another, and is left alone.
