[acoustic opening music]

[seagulls screeching]

Whoa!

[grunting]

-[people cheering] -[supporter] Let's get it, BB!

-Show some hustle! -Get the flag!

[grunting]

[Kai] Yo, yo, I'm on your six. Catch me if you can!

-[groaning] -[grunting]

[splashing]

All right, gimme your best bet. Who do you think is gonna win this?

-[sniffs] -Huh?

Team BB. They've won 37 out of 42 of these.

Still, you never really know.

[leader] They're on the Denki Ninja's home turf.

If they screw up and fall in an Antlion Pit,

it's game over.

Hey, um…

What is it, newbie?

I'm still not 100 percent on how all these rules work.

What?

All right, dude, try to keep up.

[Mad Lobster member] Tokyo Battlekour is a five-on-five game

where teams bet on the outcome of a parkour match.

You're out if you fall into the ocean.

But the lucky team that captures the flag, wins.

But, um, isn't going all out like that kinda dangerous, though?

-[leader] Hell yeah it's dangerous. -Huh.

All the kids here are just idiots whose only purpose is to play this game.

[sniffs deeply]

On the other hand, I guess you can argue

that all this brouhaha keeps Tokyo a safe city.

[drone humming]

[crows screeching]

[soft suspenseful music]

[grunting]

[competitors panting and grunting]

[Usagi] I hope you like eating my dust, slowpoke ninja!

Catch ya later!

Jammer! Block Route C. Stop the short BB kid.

Oh, why thank you.

Where is Hibiki?

Where is he always?

Doing whatever the heck he wants.

Well, Tokyo Battlekour does value independence.

And that's fine and all, but this is a five-on-five game.

[Makoto] If one player is missing…

[grunting]

He's cornered at Pitch 14.

These guys just don't know when to quit. [surprised gasp]

Stray bubble challenge!

Oh! You idiot!

Whoa!

-[rumbling] -[Usagi screaming]

[Usagi groaning]

Usagi, hang on!

Uh-oh!

[Usagi groaning]

Oh, no! Antlion Pit!

BB fall! We need rescue.

Let's get going.

What? We won't make it. Whoa!

[Usagi groaning]

Oh!

What were you thinking, Usagi?

The problem is, he wasn't thinking.

The only one who can hop stray bubbles in an away game…

is that guy.

[wind rustling]

[grunting]

[Makoto] Oh!

He's here.

Oh?

-[ethereal chime] -[deep exhale]

[Usagi] Ah!

-What was that? He's awesome! -[crowd cheering]

Whoa!

-[satisfied hum] -[sigh of relief]

[Usagi panting in relief]

[Usagi] Huh?

Hey!

Don't leave me here!

[light music]

-[crowd cheering loudly] -[crows screeching]

[Hibiki breathes deeply]

[high-pitched melody]

[Hibiki hums melody]

[grunting]

-[action music] -[grunting]

You're kidding! Hell of a route!

He's so fast!

[grunting]

-[grunting] -[crowd clamoring in admiration]

[crowd cheering]

Hm?

[Makoto] Whoa!

[crowd chatting excitedly]

[disbelieving breath]

[shocked groaning]

[crowd chatting excitedly]

And the winner is, the Blue Blazes!

[supporters] Damn it! I can't believe they lost!

That was totally mind-blowing.

Oh, shit! Now they're gonna get our rice.

Looks like you guys need more training.

We'll be taking home our gasoline.

[Usagi] Hey, Hibiki!

Why did you leave me there like that?

That jump you did back there. It just showed off your recklessness.

Uh… But I did it the other day!

-[Hibiki] And it was only by chance. -Uh…

You need more fear.

[flag clattering]

[Kai hissing] Bastard!

[grunts]

Come on. Let's do the usual.

[Isozaki] Can't remember the last time Hibiki joined in in one of these.

[clicks tongue]

With our blue blazes…

[all] We're gonna burn it all down!

Yeah!

[Makoto] Lame.

[sighs] I'm exhausted.

This game is totally murder to my heart.

Why do they pull all these stunts?

Well, that's the whole reason we're here, isn't it?

Huh?

-Hey! -[gasping]

[Shin] That was a good decision,

not to jump the crack on the Shohei bridge.

-[amazed gasping] -Thank you, sir!

You keep practicing hard now.

JAPAN COAST GUARD REIYO

[Usagi] All right!

We got a whole month's worth of rice, everyone!

And what have we here? It's beer, baby!

Yeah, you wish! Maybe try a juice box, kiddo.

-I'll be taking that, if you don't mind. -Oh.

-Minor. -[splashing]

Hey, Makoto, where are you going? Wait!

Let's have a drink together, what do you say?

Give it up. Clearly, she's not into you.

We're just her research subjects.

He's right, you know. She's here observing the gravity anomaly.

[grunts]

[rumbling in background]

Oh, sweet! Calling dibs on this snack! Ah!

Hey! Didn't I say don't open that box without asking?

I give up!

Where the heck are your manners, huh?

Didn't your parents teach you anything?

I didn't have parents!

Just like everyone else here!

[bright music]

-Would you knock it off already? -Oh!

You startled me!

I guess surprising you is a non-starter.

[chuckles awkwardly]

[sighs]

Why were you even trying to?

-[grunts] -[Hibiki gasps]

Hey! Give those back! Not cool!

Forget it.

Why do you sulk out here looking all gloomy?

Give 'em back.

Hm.

So, what was that out there today?

[Hibiki] What do you mean?

[Makoto] The move you rescued Usagi with.

If you had fallen into the Antlion Pit…

[Hibiki] I wouldn't.

[Makoto] Keep up the dangerous moves, and I'll have to report it to HQ.

Then you'd all be tossed out on your butts.

Is that what you want?

[Hibiki] I'm going to leave someday.

But I can't right now.

[ship creaking]

I can hear it.

[Makoto] What?

Wait! Hibiki!

-[water splashing] -[engine revving]

[disappointed sigh]

-[Shin] Got away, huh? -Huh?

Hey, Shin, get this.

Hibiki said he could hear songs from the tower again.

Hmm.

[engine revving]

[Makoto] Five years ago…

bubbles fell all over the world.

[distant ticking]

The bubbles had mysterious powers,

and their arrival brought about pandemonium.

OPERATION TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

Soon after…

[muffled explosion]

A huge explosion of uncertain origin occurred in the center of Tokyo.

Tokyo became ground zero,

and was enclosed in a gigantic bubble.

Even after the bubbles stopped falling elsewhere in the world…

the phenomenon continued solely in the center of Tokyo.

By the time the accumulated bubbles surrounding the area

burst and turned into water…

Tokyo was no longer the capital of Japan.

Scientists from across the globe came to do research in Tokyo,

but none were able to determine the cause of the Bubble-fall Phenomenon.

Little by little, the people of Tokyo left their home behind.

It now stands…

as a shell of its former self.

An abandoned city.

DO NOT ENTER

Tokyo became a residents prohibited zone.

Over time, boys began illegally residing in the area.

They ignored countless orders to leave,

and started participating in a dangerous game

that made use of the unique environment.

They're orphans who lost their loved ones due to the Bubble-fall Phenomenon.

One of the boys…

claims he can hear the sound of songs emanating from the tower.

The cloud that now covers the tower, the center of the blast,

contains a complex gravity field.

Observations cannot be made inside of the cloud,

regardless of equipment.

And there are constant unscientific rumors,

such as that ghosts exist inside the cloud.

[bubble gasping]

[Hibiki] This is the highest I can reach.

But I need to go further.

I can still hear it.

The sound of the bubbles.

[grunting]

[wind rustling]

[grunting]

[Hibiki] I did it!

Huh?

[shocked breath]

[groaning]

[bubble gasping]

[Hibiki] Spiderweb!

[music building]

Mer…

maid?

[water bubbling]

[distant bird calls]

[amazed exhale]

-[water bubbling] -[girl gasps]

[Hibiki] Who… who are you?

[panting]

[Kai] Oh, damn it! Hibiki's late.

Hm?

It's Shin's ship!

[Usagi] Oh!

[all] Who is she?

[Shin] She saved his life.

[Blue Blaze members] Huh?

You heard me.

Hibiki here was about to meet his maker.

But he made it thanks to this one.

-[girl hissing] -Huh?

From the Antlion Pit?

You've gotta be kidding me?

What the hell!

Where did she even come from anyway?

Have you seen her before?

Uh-uh.

No way you'd forget someone dressed like that.

-[all exclaiming in surprise] -[rumbling]

[Kai] How did she get over there?

She moves like a cat.

[Usagi] Ah! She's taking the ramen!

Hey! Don't go through our stuff!

-[Isozaki] She bolted. -Get back here!

-[Blue Blaze members talking] -[water boiling]

[exhales in wonder]

-[Usagi] My ramen! -[Kai] Where'd she go?

I got a few choice words for her.

Ah! Hey, that's scalding!

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

[Makoto] We need something cold!

[suspenseful music]

Yep, she's a cat-girl.

[Isozaki] What a stupid thing to do.

-That's cold. -[Usagi] Why would she do that?

[Isozaki] Who knows?

[Shin] She's like a rabbit, right?

Now, being eccentric isn't the worst thing.

I'd like her to stay here on the Reiyo, if we're all cool with that.

She might surprise us by becoming a capable player in the Battlekour.

-Hibiki. -Huh?

Play nice now. And find a way to repay her.

Oh.

You're gonna catch a cold.

[Makoto] What do you think? Do you like it?

Have a good night.

[Makoto breathing deeply]

[soft distant music]

-[water bubbling] -[girl gasping]

Hm.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[horn honking]

[Makoto] Good morning! It's a new day, filled with hope.

Up and at 'em. Go Blue Blazes!

[grunting]

[yawning]

[grunting]

-Huh? -Huh?

[bird squawking]

-[grunting] -[footsteps approaching]

Hibiki, that girl's waiting for ya.

[Usagi] Solo training is cool and all,

but you should come to the deck sometimes, too.

[Kai] Oh, he emerges at last.

[girl giggles softly]

Hm?

-[grunts] -Hey, you!

-[bird squawking] -Huh?

-[Hibiki] Oh. -[headphones clattering]

[birds chirping]

[soft grunt]

[girl harmonizing a soft tune]

-[splashing] -[squawking]

[grunts]

[gasps in amazement]

[giggles]

[chickens squawking]

That weird looking girl is actually pretty amazing.

[Usagi] She might do great in a parkour game.

[Isozaki] Hibiki is basically the reason we keep winning.

We certainly could do with a talented new team member, right boss?

What do you mean he's the reason?

As if. None of you understands what it means to be a team player.

-[chickens squawking] -Hm?

Wha… what are you do…

-Hm? -[crashes]

[chuckles]

-[chickens squawking] -[girl hisses]

What is wrong with you? Knock it off?

[Makoto] Watch out!

Huh?

[Hibiki groans]

GALE IMPACT USAGI

[Blue Blaze team] Let's dig in!

[Usagi] Wow, this must be a special feast, even Hibiki's decided to join.

-What happened to your cheek, man? -[grumbles]

[Kai] Might need a bit more training.

Just so you know, I'd never let a hen get the drop on me.

That's nice.

I even know how to operate the rail. Not to brag.

Riveting.

By the way, have you seen how much this girl eats?

[Makoto] Okay, you're gonna have to shoot for this one.

[Usagi and Kai] Huh?

-[Kai] Seriously? -[Usagi] But, I…

[Hibiki] All right.

This is one of the eggs you mercilessly crushed earlier.

Don't ever do that again, got it?

[Usagi] Okay, who's next?

-[Isozaki] Cool. -[Osawa] Let's do it!

[Usagi] Here we go!

[Blue Blaze members] Rock, paper, scissors!

[Osawa] Again!

Let's go again!

You're a strange one.

[Usagi] Let's go again!

[Makoto] So, what's her name?

I dunno.

[Makoto] Didn't she save your life?

Rock, paper, scissors, let's go again!

Yeah! I win!

"Uta," then. On account of the singing.

You didn't put a lot of thought into it.

So, who was singing?

She was?

-Uta. -Hm?

-Hibiki. -Hm.

[Hibiki] Uta.

Hibiki.

Uta.

Uta.

Look at that. I guess the name's a winner.

Since it's been decided, nice to meet you, Uta.

[bright chuckle]

UTA

[Makoto] Let's see…

"Mobile areas from last gravity field shift."

"No observable changes at this point."

And it doesn't look like any other periodic laws have changed either.

Next rationing arrangements are on schedule.

We're all good. Okay. All done!

Hey, got a sec?

Oh. Uh…

Shin! I… wasn't expecting you.

Uhm… [clears throat]

Please, have a seat.

How is she?

[Makoto] Oh, she's doing great.

Hibiki ended up giving her the name Uta.

She's really taken a liking to him.

Has she? Maybe she'll take to parkour just as quickly.

Have a drink.

[Makoto] Shin, aren't you interested in parkour anymore?

[chuckles] I'm too old.

Besides, even if I wasn't…

I have this now.

That's from your tower run. Am I right?

I was rash and it cost me. So now I stick around to keep them safe.

Like Hibiki, I survived a tower accident.

We should just stop these games altogether.

[Makoto] It's too dangerous.

Frankly speaking, we're not supposed to let them be here in the first place.

[chuckles]

Well, they are doing it all at their own risk.

The world outside of here is just too suffocating for them.

[engine humming]

[drone humming]

[mechanical whirring]

What the hell was that?

[grunting]

[Kai] Morticians…

Guess they started using some sort of contraption since we last saw them.

But that can't be fair, can it? The Mad Lobsters don't really have a shot!

Don't count them out yet. They should be the team with more power.

[panting]

[grunting]

[mechanical whirring]

Whoa! [grunting]

[Under Taker member] R-5, move to Point N2.

[panting]

-[determined grunt] -[shattering]

[audience cheering]

-[mechanical whirring] -[Blue Blaze gasping]

[audience clamoring]

[Shin] Game set!

The winner of the match is, The Under Takers!

We haven't lost yet, damn Morticians!

Actually, you did lose.

[Mad Lobster leader] Screw those stupid boots of yours!

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that, Team Crawfish.

[grumbles angrily]

We're the Mad Lobsters!

My apologies, Team Hermit Crab.

[leader] I said, "We're Lobsters!"

[boat engine whirring]

Let's see, which one should I choose for tonight…

[Makoto] The Little Mermaid.

It's a pretty sad story, so it's not my favorite.

Why does the Little Mermaid, who rescued the prince,

have to dissolve into foam anyway?

Oops, was that a spoiler?

-So, do you wanna read it? -[Uta] Hm.

It's getting late, so just one story.

"Deep under the sea, on the bottom of the ocean,

was a kingdom of mermaids.

Their ruler, the mermaid king, lived in a castle with his people."

[Makoto] "The youngest of the mermaids possessed a truly beautiful,

crystal clear voice.

However, this young soul was also consumed

by an obsession with the world of humans."

"When she found her way to the surface,

the Little Mermaid's vision was captivated by a prince on the ship.

She became entranced by him."

"The Little Mermaid couldn't take her eyes off of her newfound prince.

It was as if she was madly, deliriously in love with him."

[yelps] When did you get here?

You're the prince.

I'm the Little Mermaid.

[gasps]

[shocked mumble]

[Hibiki] No way.

Hibiki. You're the prince.

[Hibiki] No, you've got it all wrong.

[Uta] Uta. Little Mermaid.

Hey, never mind that. Did you speak just now?

[anxious muttering]

[gasping]

[gentle sweet music]

[giggles softly]

[splashing]

Whoa! She's awesome!

[Under Taker leader] They will be next.

PIGEONS AND SANDGROUSE

PARROTS

THE ENVIRONMENT, PARROTS, SPACE

Oh.

-Hey, check it out. -Huh?

Pull up with your underarm muscles.

Looking good.

Those two might make a good team.

Can we hurry up and finish here?

[ethereal whooshing]

[gentle sweet music]

[blowing]

[uplifting orchestral music]

[splashing]

[gasps]

[Makoto] It's said that the world repeatedly collapses and rebuilds.

Assembles. Bursts.

Scatters. Then, assembles again.

Our Milky Way galaxy.

It'll collide with Andromeda in about 4.5 billion years.

Then it will burst.

And once again…

It's going to scatter apart?

Bingo.

[Makoto] And the elements which make up our bodies,

will again come together, to become materials for another star.

Huh. Gotcha.

Vortex.

[Makoto] Yes. Vortex.

The vortex appears in galaxies, typhoons and biomolecule structures.

It's a pattern of life.

[whirring]

Vortex.

It came together…

burst…

And a lot of people died.

[Makoto] Uta! Where are you?

Hey, Usagi, do you have any idea where Uta went?

I don't know. She's probably with Hibiki, though.

-[aggressive clucking] -[yelps]

I swear, they're just like a hen and her chick.

What a joke. How could anyone get attached to someone like that?

[birds chirping]

[water flowing softly]

[gasps]

[giggles]

[sighs]

[Hibiki] You mind not telling anyone about this place?

'Cause they'll just laugh at me.

Flower.

That's right.

Beautiful.

It's a secret.

Secret.

Oh.

[sniffs]

[slurps]

[gagging]

Hmm.

Huh?

[happy sigh]

[Hibiki] Oh.

One day it randomly washed up.

Seashells are rare here.

So can you hear their sound too? The sound of waves.

Hm.

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

[water lapping]

The sounds here…

they're always so peaceful.

To tell the truth…

since way back…

I've been scared of all the city noise.

I couldn't understand how anyone could bear it.

I was like this all the time back then.

And it worried my mother.

-[train rumbling] -[warning light beeping]

-[cars honking] -[bell ringing]

[soft gentle music]

FOR AUDITORY HYPERSENSITIVITY

[Hibiki] I had to go see lots of doctors.

I wanted to try my best to get better.

[soft emotional music]

When the bubbles fell,

I was at the tower with kids from the center.

There was an explosion.

And when I came to, I had already been rescued.

My memory about it is foggy at best.

I do recall…

that I heard something.

-A song. -[gasps]

[high-pitched melody]

I don't wanna hate hearing sounds.

To be honest, that's what I'm searching for.

That one sound.

[sighs]

I've never told anyone this much about myself.

[soft breath]

[Uta singing soft melody]

[continues singing soft melody]

Uta…

[Uta singing melody]

[Uta's vocal intensifies]

[gasps]

Uta?

[high-pitched melody]

-[whirring] -[whooshing]

[Makoto] Hmm. This is strange.

The Gravitational Waves

appear to have been unstable for quite a while.

When did this start?

Huh?

Isn't that the day that Uta arrived?

[yelps]

[groans]

-Good morning to you. -[gasps]

[gasping]

Good morning to you.

[Hibiki] They kidnapped Makoto?

Yeah, look.

[Makoto] Hey, knock it off! Stop it! What are you doing to me?

Let me go!

[yelps]

What the hell is this about?

This was left behind.

SPECIAL PRIZE… MAKOTO!

[Kai] Those damn Morticians!

If they wanna live, they better not be doing any pervy shit to her!

Say what?

They've been live streaming the Battlekour matches

to the outside world.

Apparently they've been calling it "The Tokyo Death Game."

[Usagi] The boots they were wearing were given to them by a sponsor.

So they kidnapped her just to up their view count?

[Kai] I'll crush those creeps! I'll kill 'em!

-How lame. -Huh?

[all gasping]

Uta?

Hibiki.

I'll crush 'em.

[gasps]

-Let's go. -[amazed sighs]

This is Uta's first battle.

[engine humming]

Hey! Over there!

Look at that! Below the flag!

There's someone up there!

[Makoto] This isn't funny!

Seriously, you big jerks!

Oh! [whimpering]

This sucks!

Somebody! Help me!

Hm.

[crows cawing]

Who do these damn punks think they are using Makoto as some kind of war trophy?

What do those Morticians want?

They're gunning for Team BB's boat.

The Reiyo? And they agreed?

-But, what happens if they lose? -Hmm…

We'll know soon enough if it was a good idea

for them to respond to the Morticians challenge.

We need to avoid direct fighting. Let's focus on speed.

Isozaki, Usagi, play decoy.

And I'll go after the flag.

-Hibiki, you're with Uta. -Hm.

Your job is to confuse the enemy.

[Hibiki] Got it.

[drone whirring]

[growling] Bastards!

You can stream all you want!

Only thing you're gonna see is playback of how pathetic you all are on loop!

Our views are sure to increase during this month,

directly increasing our financial gains as well.

[grumbles]

[Shin] The Blue Blazes versus The Under Takers.

Ready… set…

-Go! -[shot ringing]

[grunting]

[mechanical whirring]

[Kai] Damn it! How is that even allowed?

[Under Taker leader] Now, utilize line formation from Point Alpha to Delta.

[Under Taker members] Roger!

-[mechanical whirring] -[gasps]

[Isozaki panting and grunting]

[suspenseful drumming music]

-[blasting] -[grunts]

[grunting, yelps]

Isocchi!

[Usagi groans]

[rumbling]

[panting] This way!

[splashing]

[Under Taker member] Number four and five, clear.

Damn those Morticians!

[Shin] Team BB fall. Three players remaining!

Did I hear him right? We've lost two already?

[Mad Lobster leader] Leave the kids to us, Team BB.

You guys have to take that flag.

[crows screeching]

[drone whirring]

[Under Taker leader] Lead our opponents to Point Sigma.

[Under Taker member] Roger!

[fast-paced suspenseful music]

[grunting]

[Kai panting]

-[rumbling] -[crashing]

-[all panting] -[rumbling]

[Kai yelping]

Oh!

Damn it.

[Kai] We're being lured in!

[Under Taker leader] And now, I must bid you farewell.

Damn it all!

[Kai] Wait, Hibiki!

Jump here, and you'll be sucked into the Antlion Pit!

Do that and you play right into their hands.

[splashing]

They play dirty.

They led us to a place where it's impossible to jump without gear.

We don't have the tools to jump over this vortex.

Their lead will grow even larger if we don't think of something right now!

[magnetic ringing]

Vortex…

[silent gasps]

[high-pitched ringing]

[Uta singing melody]

[Uta singing with strong rhythm]

Where did Team BB get a player like that?

-[supporter] Awesome! -[crowd cheering]

[strong pop music]

Hibiki!

Uta!

[Kai] Hibiki!

You might make it by yourself. Now jump!

[both grunting]

Go!

[Kai yelping]

[beat drumming]

[determined hums]

[upbeat music]

-[horn honking] -[audience cheering]

[Usagi] Hibiki! Uta!

Do it! Do it!

[mechanical whirring]

[Uta grunting softly]

[audience cheering]

[upbeat music]

[panting]

Let's go, Uta!

[crashing]

[thundering crash]

[whooshing]

Uta… Hibiki…

[chuckles] Amazing! You're amazing!

[panting] Huh?

[blasting]

[Hibiki groaning]

[Hibiki panting]

Uta!

[Hibiki] Come on!

[gasps]

[rumbling]

[mechanical blasting]

[crunching]

-[groans] -Uta!

[Hibiki] Go and win!

[Uta panting]

[chuckles]

[cheering]

[both chuckling happily]

-Oh. -Oh.

[sighs in relief]

[Shin] Game set!

And the winners are, the Blue Blazes!

[crowd cheering]

[Uta groans softly]

-[Hibiki] Uta! -Huh?

Huh?

Are you all right?

Can you believe it? We came back from the brink and actually won!

[Usagi] Isn't it awesome?

Oh, you guys! [chuckles]

Makoto!

[Makoto chuckles]

[Makoto] Uta, Hibiki, you were great!

[Hibiki] Makoto, calm down!

[Makoto] Oh, you were so great! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!

-[Hibiki] Hey! -[Makoto laughing]

[crowd chatting]

REIYO

Today, Team Blue Blazes scorched the Morticians!

Those no-good bastards were no match for our blue flames!

What's more, we were able to rescue Makoto without so much as a scratch.

-So give it up! -[applause]

So sorry to worry you, everyone.

But I'm back in action and ready for business.

Welcome back.

Right then, to all you lovable idiots,

I would like to wish you nothing but the best of luck

as you strive for victory in your endeavors!

Let's drink!

[all] Let's drink!

[chuckling]

Good job today.

-[sighs happily] -[chuckling]

[people chatting]

-Wow. -Dude, that was so cool!

This is to stop them from doing anything stupid again.

-[sniffs deeply] -I'm sure that thing smells good,

but could you maybe try to lay off the sniffing when you're speaking?

Show my scented squishy a little respect.

[Kai] With our blue blazes…

[all] We're gonna burn it all down!

Yeah!

You were late, you dumbass.

How was I supposed to know?

He's right though! You're the only one out of sync!

Oh.

[Usagi] Oh, Hibiki. Are we being too loud?

You're just as loud as always.

[Kai] Huh?

[slurping]

We won because… everybody in this room gave it their all.

Appreciate it.

Did Hibiki… just thank us?

Are you feeling all right, dude? Did you bang your head?

[cooing] You're so cute!

[Makoto humming contently]

Hey, you! That is so not fair!

Huh? Would you get out of here?

[chuckles, sniffs deeply]

-I said stop that. -[grumbles]

[arguing]

-Huh? -Hm?

[guests chatting happily]

Hey, what's the matter?

[water dripping]

[high-pitched melody]

[Uta sings along to melody]

[whooshing]

[groans]

[gasps]

"The Mermaid's sisters wanted her back."

[Uta] "They wanted the Little Mermaid to return home.

They told her…

You must return to the ocean.

Please, hurry.

If you do not return…

then you will…"

[whooshing]

[gasps]

-[Hibiki] Uta! -[Uta gasps]

Thought this is where you'd be.

Got something for you.

[Hibiki] To commemorate your first victory.

That way, you can always listen to the sound of the waves.

[chuckles softly]

Today I realized something.

How should I say it?

The person that I thought I was before, wasn't really me.

After meeting you, I…

became myself for the very first time.

It's all because of you.

Thank you.

[soft sweet music]

Uta…

when I'm with you I…

[gasps]

[ominous humming]

These bubbles…

What's going on? The way those bubbles are falling…

[gasps]

It's the same as five years ago!

[all gasping in shock]

[Makoto] A second Bubble-fall Phenomenon!

We must leave Tokyo right away!

But Hibiki and Uta haven't come back yet!

Those two better not be there…

-[whooshing] -[crashing]

[crashing]

[both gasping]

Uta!

[Hibiki] What's happening?

[high-pitched ringing]

[gasps]

[Uta breathing deeply]

[Uta singing melody]

Huh?

[girl] Bubbles!

[man] What?

What in the world?

[Uta singing melody]

Wait, this song…

it's you?

[Uta] "The Little Mermaid…

wanted to see the prince…

so she floated to the surface of the ocean."

It was you all along.

[chuckles softly]

[gasps]

What was that?

"The Little Mermaid's heart was about to burst into pieces."

[rumbling]

[Uta] "It was the very last day…

that she would have to see the prince."

Are you saying… today is the last day?

[Uta] They're calling.

I must stop them.

[Hibiki] Uta!

[grunts]

[Hibiki groaning]

[vortex humming]

[boat horn honking]

The Reiyo?

Hold onto this!

[Hibiki panting]

[electricity crackling]

[bubbles warbling]

[crashing]

[splashing]

[grunts]

Opened up to 13!

It's turned to auto. Is it okay to leave it now?

It's fine! Get back here!

[both grunting]

[both panting]

[Isozaki] Tokyo is sinking!

[Denki Ninja member] This is bad.

[Mad Lobster member] You guys should know, I can't swim.

As if they're being called by… the tower.

[Shin] He's back!

So, this boat can move?

What? Did you think I was doing all that maintenance for my health?

We happened to pick up some drifting Morticians by the way.

[gasps] Starboard!

[Kai] 20 degrees!

The water level just keeps rising!

[Shin] The rescue request?

I sent it, along with data, to HQ.

[Makoto] The changes started when Uta came to the Reiyo.

A song that only Hibiki and Uta can hear?

Are they hearing the same song?

The tower must be the source.

But if I tell him, Hibiki will wanna go to the tower!

-[rumbling] -[all gasping]

[vortex humming]

-[crashing] -[all groaning]

-[Shin] Is everybody all right? -[Isozaki] Yeah.

[Kai] Damn it! We're stuck!

[Uta singing melody]

[whooshing]

[gasps]

[Isozaki] Where are you going, Hibiki?

-To the tower. -[Usagi] Huh?

You wanna run that by us again?

[Hibiki] I'm going to the tower.

I know Uta's there.

So I'm going.

What? Are you trying to die?

It's too risky. Don't do it!

[Hibiki] I don't have any choice.

The bubbles are in an active phase!

This is serious, man. Are you really going out there?

I am.

And you're absolutely sure Uta will be there?

Yes. Can you come with me?

[grumbles]

Fine, I'll come. But just this once.

Huh? What are you talking about, Kai?

[Kai] Let's go!

[Usagi] Wait, you can't go out there!

What the? You too?

Of course we're going. BB's star player needs back-up.

Uta is also an asset for the team.

[stammering for words]

[Osawa] Here.

[grumbles]

I wish I had parents who'd talk me out of things like this!

Hey! You guys get back here!

[Makoto] Shin, please! We have to let them go.

There's something about the tower only Hibiki and Uta know.

The kids already have a feeling about that.

You said Tokyo Battlekour values independence, right?

Would you like to purchase these?

-[rumbling] -[thundering]

[Kai] Okay. Let's do it.

Yo, Hibiki, get in on this!

[wind whooshing]

[sighs]

With our blue blazes…

[all] We're gonna burn it all down!

Yeah!

[boat horn honking]

[Kai] Well, that doesn't look too good.

[Hibiki] The red bubbles are dangerous. Don't let them touch you.

[Isozaki] Seriously?

[Kai] This isn't our usual game.

Keep your guard up. Stay alert!

[Usagi] Copy that!

All right, get ready…

[Kai] Set…

Go!

[all grunting]

[deep ominous music]

Good luck to you all.

-[boots blasting] -[Usagi yelping]

[Usagi chuckles]

Oh, these boots are awesome!

This ain't the time to goof around!

-[grunting] -[mechanical whirring]

[all grunting]

[Hibiki] Pitch eight… nine… ten…

Clear!

He's booking.

Bubbles incoming! Head in the game!

[crashing]

[both grunting]

-[Hibiki panting] -[boots blasting]

Uta!

-[whooshing] -[yelps]

[all yelping]

[Usagi screaming]

I'm falling!

[grunts, panting]

Would somebody please tell me what the hell's going on?

[wind whooshing violently]

[Isozaki] What? Two spiderwebs?

[wind whooshing violently]

Their suction power is unreal.

-[creaking] -[crashing]

[Kai] Hibiki, what now?

[Hibiki] I'm gonna try reaching the Observatory

using the fragments of the Main Shaft.

[all gasping]

But it's at least 30 meters from the last fragment to the Observatory!

The boots won't be enough!

[Shin] I'll take the lead!

[clanging]

Oh!

[Osawa] Shin!

[Isozaki] What are you doing here?

I'd like to say that I came to bring you guys home, but I know better.

So instead, I thought you need an experienced leader.

We're glad you're here.

Is this really happening? Shin's finally joining us!

[Hibiki] What's your plan?

Listen up.

[Shin] I'll show you the route to the final fragment first.

Just follow me, Hibiki.

[Hibiki] But, it'll be risky, Shin.

Hm. I've pushed myself here far more than you.

Believe me when I say you can trust me.

Hm.

[crashing]

Let's go!

[grunting]

[crashing]

[grunting]

Wow! That was insane!

He's busting out that legendary tricking!

[Isozaki] Look out!

[all grunting]

We can't hold it forever! Get moving!

[both grunting]

Whoa!

Hurry! This way!

-Okay, go for it! -Gotcha!

[Kai grunting]

[crashing]

Get the flag, Hibiki!

We're bringing Uta home, you hear me!

[Kai groans in effort]

[crashing]

[grunting]

[wind whooshing]

Jump!

[shattering]

[epic music]

[Uta's melody ringing]

[grunting]

-[gasps] -He's in!

[gasping in amazement]

[whooshing fading]

[all groaning]

[Shin] Hibiki…

I tried, but never made it.

But you can do it. I know you can!

You're the one who will save her.

Hm.

[Hibiki gasps]

[Hibiki] Is this… five years ago?

Why is everything the same as it was then?

Is that…

me?

I remember.

This was the moment I…

[man] Right then, I'll leave it to you.

-[girl] Bubbles! -Huh?

-Huh? -Huh?

[man] Wha… what? What in the world?

[Uta singing melody]

Wait, this song…

it's you?

[Uta singing melody]

[young Hibiki] It's okay.

I can hear you just fine.

It was you all along.

[sings along to melody]

[bubbles warbling]

[explosion]

[shattering]

[Uta gasping]

[Hibiki] This was the moment…

that I may have unintentionally angered the bubbles.

[Uta breathing shakily]

[people exclaiming in worry]

[man panicking]

But those bubbles…

it was her. Uta protected me.

[gasps]

[ominous music]

[bubbles warbling]

Sister…

[Uta] I…

Uta!

[grunting]

-[whooshing] -[groans]

[groans]

[power humming]

[Makoto] Everyone okay?

-Where's Hibiki? -The observatory!

He went to see the ghost on his own!

He did what?

[Shin] Time's moving forward.

I hate to say it, but… it'll collapse.

Unless maybe…

[power humming]

[gasps]

-[Hibiki grunting] -[bubbles whooshing]

[groaning]

-[Hibiki gurgling] -[gasps]

[Uta] Hibiki!

[Hibiki gurgling]

[exhales]

[worried short breaths]

[soft emotional music]

[Uta] "The Little Mermaid…

gazed upon her human prince…

[soft sob]

…and then, fell straight to the bottom of the sea."

[bubbles warbling]

[bubbles whooshing]

[soft emotional music]

[Uta sighs]

Huh?

[Hibiki] Uta!

Look, the tower!

[whooshing]

[electricity crackling]

[tower creaking]

[Hibiki] Uta! Your body…

[gasps]

-[bubbles whooshing] -[Hibiki grunting]

[tower creaking]

[bubbles hissing]

[tower creaking]

[groans]

[emotional music]

[bubbles hissing]

[Uta] "The Little Mermaid…

was so happy just being there.

She cherished those days more than anything.

Even more, she realized…

than her own life."

[soft emotional music]

[emotional music intensifies]

"So…

even though she fully understood

her body was rapidly turning into seafoam…

fear was a complete stranger to her."

[emotional music intensifying]

[crashing]

[emotional music]

[gasping for air]

[Hibiki] Uta!

Uta!

[panting] Uta… your body…

Don't go, Uta!

[panting]

[Uta] It's because… I met you…

So that I could be the me I wanted to be.

This is…

the human heart.

[softly crying]

It's a heart that's able to feel…

loneliness.

[Hibiki sobbing]

A heart that feels…

happiness and pain…

and true love.

[Hibiki sobbing]

[Hibiki] Uta!

Uta!

Uta!

[screaming] Uta!

[heartbroken sobbing]

Hibiki…

[shaky breath]

Where's… Uta?

[soft high-pitched ringing]

[Uta's melody ringing]

[gentle music]

[Uta breathing]

[gasps] Uta…

It's you, isn't it?

[sobbing]

[Uta singing melody]

[Makoto] The cycle of collapse and rebirth continues.

From the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago…

the elements which make up our bodies

have reassembled again and again.

They become stars…

burn out, contract…

and shoot out into the universe.

Gathering in a vortex, they mix together…

and later, scatter apart.

Someday, when this world comes to an end

and the Earth ceases to exist…

perhaps we too, will once again become part of a massive vortex.

Time will tell.

[Uta] Let's meet again someday.

UTA

[construction noises]

[overlapping chatter]

[Kai] With our blue blazes…

[all] We're gonna burn it all down!

Yeah!

[Hibiki] It's still lame.

[Usagi] Oh, it's the numbnuts ninjas again!

[Kai] Hey! Ready to get your ass kicked?

[Denki Ninja leader] Oh, piss off! We're gonna smoke you guys!

It's time, everybody!

Get ready…

And set…

[Makoto] Let's do it!

Kick some butt out there, Blue Blazes!

-[Shin] Go! -[shot ringing]

[all grunting]

[chuckles]

[Uta chuckles]

[Hibiki chuckles]

[Hibiki grunting]

[Uta's melody]
