Each unit isn't all that powerful on its own.

This is equipment that I abandoned a long time ago.

As long as there is light in my eyes,

I will not let them past me!

Then you have to get through me!

I can't allow that to happen!

- Is it over now? Did we win the fight?

- Yes. We are victorious. - [gasps]

- I guess Pascal pulled it off.

[chuckles]

- This unit used ranged attacks to assist

an old attacker-type model lacking ranged attacks.

Proposal. Display of gratitude.

- Talk about a buzz kill.

You had to go and ruin it just when I was in my feelings.

- Query.

Define the specific emotions

depicted by the term "feelings."

Like hell if I know. [grunts]

Careful, you guys!

- However... - Be gentle with me!

- These feelings don't feel too bad.

[all cheering] - Welcome back. Welcome back.

Welcome back.

- Big sis. - Hmm?

- Big sis fought to protect our village.

- Protected all of us from scary things.

- Everyone, evacuate the village!

- Help us. - The enemy has infiltrated.

Oh, big sister.

- Stop it. I beg of you.

I failed to protect yet again.

[grunts]

[gasps]

[shuddering]

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit!

- No.

This can't be.

The village, all of the villagers...

- Pascal. - They're all--

- You lived.

- W--What do I do? What am I supposed to do now?

- No way.

Hey, Pascal!

- Huh? Miss A2.

The village and everyone in it--

- Get a hold of yourself!

You have children that are alive over there!

- What? - Uncle Pascal.

[all speaking at once]

- Thank you. Thank you for surviving.

Uncle Pascal is here, so everything will be all right.

- Alert.

Multiple new hostile signals approaching.

- Okay. Now hang on tight, everyone.

- Pascal, this place is doomed.

Take the children and run.

- Okay, but where should I take them?

- The resistance camp! I'll meet you there.

- Understood. I'll be back to help.

Stay safe until then.

[whirring]

- Good.

With them gone...

I don't have to hold back.

- Report.

Approaching coordinates of a sub unit.

Assuming it is one of the remaining two left.

Confirmed approach of Goliath-class

machine lifeform in the distance at 12:00 o'clock.

- Roughly seven kilometers from current location.

Will likely reach resistance camp in 4,027 seconds

- [grunting]

[breathing heavily]

- Alert.

YoRHa unit A2 has accumulated significant wear and tear

from previous combat.

Difficult to destroy Goliath-class machine lifeforms

in present state.

- Appreciate the advice,

but right now we have no other options.

So suck it! Remember that.

- Affirmative. Recording, "Suck it."

- All right, let's get it done.

[elevator clangs]

[doors clang open]

- Oh, my goodness.

Look at all the machine lifeforms

both hostile and friendly that you've slaughtered.

In honor of your achievements,

I present you the persistence award.

Records of the human army.

They went out of their way to gather stuff like this?

Launch device?

That giant structure is some kind of launch platform.

Something that massive, it must be a cannon.

Are they aiming it directly

at the humans living on the moon?

The enemy might have access to more information

than we believed.

These are android research records.

Guess they were even researching us.

This is YoRHa.

No way. But how?

[rumbling]

- Release the limiter.

- Alert. Usage of B-mode is not recommended.

As proof, that function has been deleted

from the latest YoRHa models. - [scoffs]

If it means I can kill that thing,

I don't care what happens to me.

Here goes.

of nuclear fusion from B-mode,

the load on the unit has reached 180% of normal functioning.

- [grunts]

- Proposal. Settle this quickly.

- It sounds like you're cheering for me to win this thing.

[grunts]

Finally. Advice I like.

I'll put an end to this quickly.

- "Each YoRHa unit is equipped with a destructive device called

a black box."

"The device is created by reusing the core

"of a machine lifeform.

"Machine lifeforms and YoRHa units share

the same structure for consciousness."

If that's true...

Then we're no different than the machines.

No!

I refuse to believe that.

It's bullshit.

Annoying machine lifeforms.

They made me read complete nonsense.

After this there's only one more left.

[gasps] Is this reverse hacking?

What the hell is that thing?

[groaning]

- Hey, Miss A2!

Are you all right? - Pascal?

But how? - Yes, it's me!

While I was on the way back,

I came across this abandoned unit!

So I tried connecting with the controls, and it worked!

Neat, huh? I feel like it's made me a little bit stronger!

And there's no need to worry.

Thanks to you, the children have all been safely evacuated.

- Report. - [grunts]

- Confirmed reactivation of enemy

Goliath-class machine lifeform. - What?

- Make no mistake.

I will do whatever it takes to protect the children,

and so an enemy like this...

Will die if it has to!

- Well, well. Mission complete, huh?

We successfully wiped out all the Goliaths.

And also secured a-- - 9S.

- These are-- - Yes?

- My memories?

- Thank you for uploading our data to the bunker

at the very end.

- Sorry, Ma'am. I don't remember that much.

I was only able to back up your memories.

I must have been in a rush.

Glory to mankind.

Stop. Don't do this.

These memories are the only things I have left.

Stop it!

Stay the hell out of my goddamn memories!

These are all I have left of her!

Don't touch them!

Give them back! Give them back!
