Original subtitles

In A.D. 200X,

World War 3 began.

All of Earth's cities, including Tokyo, became the targets of bombings,

and were bathed in frightful red flames.

Half a century has passed since then.

The contaminated former epicenter is still isolated from the city,

creating a hole in the middle of Japan...

It is commonly known as the Black Spot.

As time passed, people began to inhabit this wasteland.

They were deemed unnecessary by those who lived in cities.

Among these unnecessary people were ones who could command strange abilities.

Fire, Wind, Gravity...

They had the ability to control these supernatural powers.

Thus, those who possessed Fragments...

Were regarded with fear as...

The Needless!

Get ready, fly out, keep an open mind.

We're going to rust together to the end.

A composed movie star, and a gorgeous rock star

We'll blow them both away.

We're modern strange cowboys.

Are you ready for the action?

There's nothing blocking our path.

Do you have any function?

Go way back to the fire!

Insanity can't be expressed in words!

You can't ignore my will!

Don't sugar-coat your words.

Let me feel your feverish body!

Live for the moment, cowboy!

So that the newly sprouted flowers won't be scattered by the wind!

Live on, cowboy!

Keep on running, cowboy!

Iron Mountain

A laboratory?

Am I dreaming?

Number 78's right eye and heart are rejecting Eden's Seed!

Damn it! Another failed experiment...

Why are they looking at me...?

I'm... a failed experiment?

What should we do? At this rate...

Chief! Take a look at Number 79!

It's a success!

What's wrong?

You're drenched in sweat.

Riru...

I don't think this body will last long either...

Hurry up with the Needless Hunt!

It was about a year ago.

The Needless Hunt spread throughout the area where I used to live, and many of my comrades were killed.

When I was going around finding out who did my friends in, I managed to come across some incredible information.

What kind of information?

The mastermind spearheading the Needless Hunt belongs to the company called Simeon and is named Adam Arclight.

They say he's a tall guy who acts like a man of faith...

And that his bad taste compels him to wear a choker around his neck.

I heard a rumor that he was in this church, acting as a priest named Adam who was tall and wore a choker.

So that's why you picked a fight with me.

But if you use some common sense...

There's no way people from Simeon would be living in this broken-down church, right?

You're right...

Well, don't be so down, Uchida!

IT'S TERUYAMA!

It's understandable that Teruyama-san got the wrong person.

There are too many things we don't know about Simeon and Arclight.

That's true.

Like Simeon's true purpose behind coming here...

Or their reasoning for the Needless Hunt...

And, in the first place, just who is Arclight?

Looks like we need some more information.

A whole lot more information.

Arclight-sama.

It seems our analyst Primaria has something to report.

I am in the middle of an important conversation with the minister. I'll hear it later.

This was deemed to be an urgent matter.

I don't mind if we postpone our discussion.

All right, then, we'll speak later.

This data is an approximation based on the image we received...

The height, weight, size of limbs, and other physical traits match perfectly.

One could certainly call this a perfect body.

Good. Bring that man here immediately.

There's one problem, though...

You gave the order to snuff him out.

Call Saten!

What is the meaning of this?

For you to tell me to stop pursuing the priest...

The situation has changed.

The results of the analysis of the image that we received from the Testament...

show that his body is a perfect copy of Arclight-sama's body.

Then, you're planning to use that priest's body...

However, in order to do that, we need to ensure that his body is unharmed from the neck down. Oh, and his left eye.

If we left it to you, you'd just mince him up, right?

Saten. Do you know the priest's whereabouts?

Ah, no. Not yet...

Arclight's right-hand man is quite pitiful indeed.

Kafka and Uten were defeated, too...

In that case, I shall leave it to my Pretty Girl Squad!

I unintentionally withheld information about the priest's whereabouts, but...

The Testaments will bring you guys near their hideout automatically.

It's up to you to look for it on your own after that.

Yes!

Pretty Girl Squad, launch!

You don't need the "pretty" part...

I've been thinking about this for a while now, but...

Back when you saved me,

didn't you beat a Testament with your bare hands?

I think you could have made the fight much easier if you had used your Memorization ability then.

My bare hands were good enough for that small fry.

You were on the verge of death when Cruz-kun carried you back here!

Shut up, old man!

WHAT'D YOU SAY?!

Now, now...

Are you sure this is really the right way? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake on the way here? Uchida.

Don't compare me to you! And my name is Teruyama!

Quit whining, Uchida! Hurry it up!

IT'S TERUYAMA!

Damn it. I'm sure it was around here somewhere...

Hey, where is this informant you were talking about, Uchida?

You making fun of us, Uchida? I'll kill you!

Quit complaining!

Like this... Turn the switches in the right order...

It seems that you do have a brain after all.

Like I said, don't compare me to those guys!

Off => On

You can talk to any of the informants if you put a password into this.

Then hurry up and put it in!

Hey, come on. I might have gotten the password, but it wasn't cheap...

Let's see, the fee for reconstructing the church was...

Damn you!

So, what is this informant of yours called?

Disc. His identity is unknown, but I have heard that he knows everything regarding the Black Spot.

Disc... I wonder what kind of person is he?

It connected!

This is Disc. What do you want to know?

Looks like he's not gonna show his face after all...

I want to know about Simeon's president, Adam Arclight.

If you know anything about him, please tell us!

Sorry, but I can't tell you that for free.

Then what should we do?

Come to Iron Mountain. I'll be waiting for you there...

Mr. Resistance Survivor, Cruz Schild.

What's the meaning of this?

Iron Mountain... I've heard of it before.

We'll go anywhere we have to.

This bastard has some guts, calling me out like that!

Japan used to have a classified archive, which stored the personal information for every citizen and national secrets.

The huge sector where all of this information was stored was so heavily fortified that it was known as "Iron Mountain."

I heard it had been destroyed during the war, but...

It would seem that it still exists.

I see! So he took advantage of that place in order to become an informant!

So that's why he's called Disc... So, about this Iron Mountain...?

It is currently located at the west edge of the Black Spot.

All right!

Well then...

To Iron Mountain...

1, 2, 3, 4...

It's a field trip!

Field trip!?

Nee-san... Things have gotten pretty intense.

We're going to a place called Iron Mountain in order to get information on Simeon and Adam Arclight.

Furthermore, we're entering the lawless district of the Black Spot...

Will we be able to make it to our destination?

I might be joining you soon, Nee-san...

Nee-san, it seems that our journey to Iron Mountain is going better than I had expected.

Small fry

This is all thanks to everyone.

Are we at Iron Mountain yet?

Just a little bit more.

But, seriously, there are a ton of night rogues around here too.

Call them small fry, man.

I've never been able to walk around the Black Spot calmly like this.

If we're together, this rice is liquid!

You mean... an "everyday occurrence?"

Ah, I'm hungry!

There's not enough fire...!

I wonder what kind of meat they're cooking...

Even if they eat that, they're not gonna get full.

But Father sure is strong, isn't he?

Like... He's perfect at all times.

I'm sure he has no weak points, right?

That's so admirable...

Really, now?

He has an unforgivable weakness.

You overcooked it!

It's hard to control the amount of heat...

Let's hurry and be on our way.

Yeah...

Hey, what are we going to do? I can't even move a step anymore...

Save me!

That's...!

Save me, any priest who happens to be passing by!

This is bad! And Father is...

Father flew!?

That bastard said he couldn't even move one step!

You can't run from us any longer!

No, please, stop! Save me...

Nobody's going to come!

There's no law or police in the Black Spot...

And what's with you, thinking that a priest would be around?

Stop.

W-Who are you!?

Just a priest passing by.

Father!

What's this all about? To think that he would go out of his way to save others!

Nah, it's not strange at all.

This is what you would call Blade's one weakness.

Father! Please save me!

Father is broken!

Yes, that's his weakness.

Little girls.

Punishment!

You bastard!

Frightening little girls is a most prodigious sin.

W-Wait... If you're after money, I've got plenty of it...

Men cannot live on money alone!

Th-Then, what...?

For example!

Girlfriends!

Older sisters!

AND ESPECIALLY LITTLE SISTERS!

His weakness has been revealed!

He's sick.

ENERGY REFILLED!

But it's disgusting...

I'm Mio!

Thank you for rescuing me!

Why are you walking around here all alone?

Do you live around here?

Um... That's...

Hey! Don't bully Mio-tan!

It's not like I'm trying to bully her...

It's just a simple question. I find it suspicious that she can't answer it.

You damned octopus head...

Mio...

Mio has amnesia!

That's right! Mio-tan has amnesia!

Yes! I don't remember a thing other than my name! Then I got lost and was chased around!

Argh! You guys, go to Iron Mountain first!

And what about you?

I'll catch up right away after I finish very thoroughly taking care of her!

TOTAL REJECTION

Total Rejection!

Damn.

That's Iron Mountain!

Pretty big building.

Looks more like ruins.

So, the one called Disc is here...

So, why is this brat still with us?

Well, I can't remember anything, and being alone is scary!

Coming along with you is fine, right?

Onii-chan.

Onii-chan!?

I'll protect you!

Absolute Protection!

ABSOLUTE PROTECTION

Damn.

This is the entrance, but...

It doesn't look like we'll be able to open it, even with a lever.

Oh, it opened.

Good work.

It looks like he's been waiting for us.

So it seems.

Where is this Disco guy supposed to be?

It's Disc.

I wonder what kind of person he is...

I hear that he's been around since the beginning of World War III... He'd be over 100 years old, easily.

100 years old!?

What, an old man!?

Don't look at me like that!

What's wrong, Eve?

This sound...

A Testament!

Simeon has managed to reach this far!?

Let's go, Uchida!

Who're you calling Uchida?!

W LITTLE BOY!

This is... By unifying both of their attacks, they have not added, but multiplied the power!

What kind of combination is this?!

Judgment!

Execution

Execution!

Destroyed

This one is an old type Testament, built before the war...

So, this one isn't related to the ones built by Shimeji?

In addition, this one has been modified.

Modified?

It was probably modified by Disc himself.

I see...

This is quite the welcoming party!

Mio-tan! Servants! Follow me closely!

Okay!

Let's go! Nuclear Warhead: VULCAN SHOCK IGNITION!

DOPPELGÄNGER!

DEADLY MAELSTROM!

LITTLE BOY!

RAPID BOMBARDMENT!

We'll be going ahead first!

All right!

OH SHI-

Cruz-kun!

That was close! Are you okay, Cruz-kun?

Ah, thanks!

Run! We won't be able to cut through all of them at this rate!

The door is closing!

Is everyone all right...?

You got caught in a pretty amazing trap yourself...

Really, these traps and the modified Testaments...

This "Disc" geezer must be a jackass.

Sorry for being a geezer and a jackass.

You've done well to come all the way here.

Nice to meet you. My name is Disc.

A girl!?

And a child at that!

I see... So you're one of the Adam Project's failed experiments.

Adam... Project...

Yes... A human experiment to resurrect "The Second."

Iron Mountain, huh...

Looks like they've gone into a pretty troublesome place.

If I remember correctly, there's no way of escaping if you enter there.

Well, it'd be easy for us, though.

Leave it to a girl's style!

Admit it, we're strong, aren't we?

A cheating boy's attack!

Do it again, give me a proper kiss!

What do you want to do each day?

It's a good tempo.

Keep it up! That's the spirit!

Take your beating!

Say bye-bye to any selfish feelings!

Sill OK?

We're aiming for the next guy, Mr.scaredy cat.

Why not stop here? One strike and you're out.

Even though you're usually so cool,

you look so confused by these teasing words.

If you start to bore me, you'll be punished!

You've accidentally stepped into an aggressive zone!

And all sorts of troubles started happening!

We'll make a miracle happen in this jumping free zone!

Don't you agree? Not that we care though!

Leave it to a girl's style!

Admit it, we're strong, aren't we?

A cheating boy's attack!

Do it again, and give me a proper kiss!

And the place where it was dropped was called the Black Spot.

Simeon's Pretty Girl Squad

That's a lie! That's definitely a lie!
