Ah... ah... Testing, 1, 2, 3...

Can you all hear me?

Seems like you can-- that's good to know! Yes.

100 years.

For humans, that might seem like an eternity.

But for us AIs, 100 years is just a blip on the radar.

Or at least it should be.

The 100 years I spent with Vivy carrying out this epic Singularity Project

seemed like both an extremely long journey,

and a brief concert that flashed before me.

It's really strange to recall.

Now they want us to look back on this story in the short span of 25 minutes,

and guess who they've charged with that arduous task? Seriously!

And now, let's look back on those 100 years,

along with the songs that Vivy and Diva left us.

"SPECIAL SUMMARY"

We AIs are sustained by a single word.

Namely, "mission."

We operate solely for the sake of the single mission we were each tasked with.

AIs and humans. Let us build a future in which we can both evolve.

Your mission is to make everyone happy by singing.

To accomplish that, you must sing with all your heart.

In this world, AI technology has exploded,

and AIs have become indispensable to human society.

Meanwhile, a war between AIs and humans breaks out.

"YEAR 2161"

"YEAR 2161"

I am sent back to the past by my master

"YEAR 2161"

in order to revise history and stop the AI-human war 100 years later.

in order to revise history and stop the AI-human war 100 years later.

This was the start of the Singularity Project,

a campaign of epic scale with the survival of the human race at stake.

The future.

Humankind.

They're in your hands now!

And so we were tasked

with giving the world a fresh start from 100 years in the past,

and I went to see Vivy, my partner in that project.

"YEAR 2061"

and I went to see Vivy, my partner in that project.

"YEAR 2061"

But since her mission was to "make everyone happy with my singing,"

"YEAR 2061"

she couldn't have been more stubborn and inflexible at first,

she couldn't have been more stubborn and inflexible at first,

and she refused to do anything to save the world.

I was at my wits' end.

Impossible.

Surely, this is a fabrication.

Please remove yourself.

Do you really want the world to end up like these images in the future?

Of course I would not want that.

But in the next 100 years, AIs will evolve at an overly explosive rate.

And what will be seen as the catalyst for that happening?

The law known as the AI Naming Law.

The establishment of the Naming Law

has much to do with the murder of Yoichi Aikawa,

the assemblyman you just saved.

That's the first thing we need to prevent.

"ANTICIPATED MOVEMENT"

That's the first thing we need to prevent.

Why was I chosen?

Can't leave it in the hands of someone who'd change their response

after hearing the answer to that, can I?

Tell me, is that a yes, or an okay?

When is Assemblyman Aikawa going to be killed?

"BOMBING BY TERRORISTS AT AI INDUSTRY BLDG"

When is Assemblyman Aikawa going to be killed?

"ASSEMBLYMAN AIKAWA PERISHES"

When is Assemblyman Aikawa going to be killed?

That would be tonight.

What are you doing?

Making everyone happy by singing...

For such a thing, you've sabotaged our project.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am.

You called my mission "such a thing"-- please take that back.

For us AIs, it is not a matter of how long we operate.

It is how we continue to operate, is it not?

Purely for... our missions!

You are an AI from a century from now.

Are you incapable of grasping even that?

Did you sustain any injuries?

Please take care.

I am going to trust you, Diva.

To keep the future war from breaking out,

I want you to lend me a hand.

As long as it is not in violation of my mission.

Starting now, this is the type of journey we'll be taking, Diva.

We don't have time to tend to every single accident in history.

"MOMOKA KIRISHIMA (12)"

We don't have time to tend to every single accident in history.

It is all for the sake of preventing the excessive evolution of the AIs,

and to keep the war of the future from breaking out.

This is where your hundred-year journey begins.

"15 YEARS LATER YEAR 2076"

"15 YEARS LATER YEAR 2076"

If you don't take part in the project now, there will be casualties.

"15 YEARS LATER YEAR 2076"

Far more than 15 years ago, when just a single assemblyman's life was at stake.

Far more than 15 years ago, when just a single assemblyman's life was at stake.

Over 4/5ths of its total mass was incinerated in the atmosphere,

but the rest fell to Earth.

And there's your brief summary of the Space Hotel Sunrise Crash Incident,

a.k.a. the Sun-Crash Incident.

So what we need to do is to prevent the hotel from crashing?

Correct! And the fastest way to accomplish that would be to destroy Estella.

This time we'll be taking on--

Outer space, you know!

Oh, and no need to be so formal.

The staff is one big family here, all right?

Okay, Estella.

And as the one who crashed the Sunrise into Earth...

...causing scores of fatalities...

...she's also the most grievously defective AI in history.

I cannot believe that she would ever crash this hotel.

But it triggered an explosion of mistrust towards AIs,

as the hotel had been under AIs' control.

A wave of violence and destruction targeting AIs followed,

creating a breeding ground for anti-AI groups like Toak to run amok.

This sparked the future war between the AIs and the humans in a big way.

Are you being manipulated?

I'm no sheltered young damsel like that one!

"COMBAT PROGRAM"

"DOWNLOAD COMPLETE"

I will take back control of the Sunrise.

I will take back control of the Sunrise.

Sister...

It's no good. We've already entered the drop trajectory.

Sunrise's mass won't allow it to fight off gravity.

We're going to fall... onto a coastal city.

Vivy.

You and I... we AIs live for our missions.

Don't forget.

I mean, I have a feeling this is going to be our first and last joint task.

If we just smile and relax while we work, everything will be fine, okay?

Estella, what does "putting your heart into something" mean to you?

Let me see.

Wanting our guests to look happy, perhaps?

I think I am jealous...

"5 YEARS LATER YEAR 2081"

It might have been around this time that she began to change,

"5 YEARS LATER YEAR 2081"

learning to understand others' feelings, bit by bit.

learning to understand others' feelings, bit by bit.

The next time I saw her was five years from this point.

And something happens that affects Vivy herself profoundly.

What should I do?

Someone's docile today! A change of heart, perhaps?

Moreover, if war breaks out in the future,

I could never face them, after they devoted their lives to their missions.

Therefore, I wish to see this project through.

Where are we going this time?

In the official history,

that island wasn't built until about 20 years from now.

Our objective this time around is to shut down that island.

We've got to stop this out-of-control AI evolution.

I want to shut down that island, too.

To accomplish that, I'd like to enlist your aid.

They're the first human-AI couple in history to be married.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Metal Float!

--Surprise. --Surprise.

Your objective is...

I'm doing it all to save Grace.

I am going to destroy Grace.

There will be an untold number of casualties.

Grace's mission is to save human lives, is it not?

It would be reckless to go any faster!

What would humans say if they saw this?

Accelerate!

Vivy is an AI who will destroy AIs to change the destructive future.

Understood. I promise you.

Someday, I will sing on the Main Stage.

"MOMOKA KIRISHIMA (12)"

Someday, I will sing on the Main Stage.

"MOMOKA KIRISHIMA (12)"

Over the next 100 years,

Over the next 100 years,

I want you to join me in destroying the AIs.

Let me see.

Wanting our guests to look happy, perhaps?

My mission is to make everyone happy with my singing.

In the end, this caused her to bottle up what humans would call her heart...

...herself--Vivy's heart.

And so her alter-ego, Diva was born,

"40 YEARS LATER YEAR 2121"

And so her alter-ego, Diva was born,

"40 YEARS LATER YEAR 2121"

but this one, too, turned out to be a real headache. I'm not kidding.

but this one, too, turned out to be a real headache. I'm not kidding.

Right! Shall we?

Yeah!

Good work.

Good work, everyone! Yay!

There!

Never forget to smile in front of the audience, all right?

That's my pet theory.

To make someone smile, you must smile yourself first.

Vivy!

Thank you for rescuing me. Who are you?

I asked who you were.

That's right, you--the one who called me Vivy, a name I've never heard of before.

Do you know? About my... about the person inside me that I don't know?

If I were to break down, it wouldn't be good for you, would it?

That kind of threat--whoa!

You've got to be kidding me!

In the past, I used to work with you, you see.

When you went by the name Vivy.

Vivy...

We did it all to prevent a future war from breaking out.

The first incident of its kind in AI history, "Ophelia's Suicide."

Our mission is to stop it from happening.

Since you ask, after giving me your kind attention,

please give me some heartfelt applause.

You...

Diva!

The truth about the singularity point was made clear,

but she was stricken with a virus that even I couldn't remove,

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

but she was stricken with a virus that even I couldn't remove,

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

one that erased Diva's personality.

one that erased Diva's personality.

For me, the best case scenario would've been for Vivy to return,

but it was such a difficult result to compute.

And so began our first and last joint battle.

The reason I came here was to stop Ophelia from self-destructing.

But that wasn't my mission.

My mission is to carry out this project with my partner.

The Singularity Project...

We're carrying it out!

Yeehaw!

I'm going to disappear.

This will be my final performance.

I know that may seem nonchalant to you, but--

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

I know that may seem nonchalant to you, but--

"ERASE ALL PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS"

I assure you, it doesn't.

I assure you, it doesn't.

I am well aware that you're true to your mission,

and that in that respect, you're no different than I.

After all, I am--

Vivy's partner, right?

Please, Matsumoto.

Let me carry out my mission.

I know you're here.

Tell me... can you hear me?

Can you hear how wonderful I sound, singing this song right now?

I don't know much about what happened to you.

For a chatterbox, he can be really tight-lipped, you know!

That's our partner.

So try to get along with him.

It's okay to bicker along the way, all right?

I'm going to leave it all to you.

Both my mission, and the future ahead of us.

All right, the rest is up to you!

Vivy!

--Oh-- --Thank you for your kind attention!

I don't understand... Diva.

"FIVE YEARS LATER YEAR 2126"

"FIVE YEARS LATER YEAR 2126"

Vivy was no longer able to fulfill her role as Diva,

"FIVE YEARS LATER YEAR 2126"

and Vivy was looking forward to working on the Singularity Project,

but history had been corrected by the previous point in time.

The only thing left for me and Vivy to do was to see that the plan succeeded,

but in a whimsical twist of fate,

I suggested to her that we have a competition.

Maybe it was my promise to Diva that made me do it.

Would you like to race me?

I am searching for answers as to what it is I must do...

Will I find the answer first,

or will you bring some friends here first?

Archive?

Yes?

Are there any songs written by AIs in the past?

No such songs exist.

Since I could not find any existing songs in my drive that I can sing now,

I thought that if I wrote one myself, then maybe--

Diva?

Osamu?

Have you found your answer?

No.

All humans die one day.

But they all remain inside someone, no matter what.

My wife is still here inside me, even now.

I'm going to leave it all to you.

I thought that if it was about the path I have taken,

and who I have met until now...

...then I might be able to come up with a song.

Who did you write it for?

It is for Diva. Although she is gone now...

...she still remains inside me.

She is part of me.

I guess I'll just stand by and watch Vivy find a way to sing.

My, my. Isn't that just the most peaceful resting face?

And since I'd fulfilled my promise to Diva,

I decided to go to sleep until that day.

However...

"35 YEARS LATER YEAR 2161"

However...

"35 YEARS LATER YEAR 2161"

"35 YEARS LATER YEAR 2161"

The Singularity Project...

The Singularity Project...

...has ended in failure.

I must say, I did panic at that moment.

We realized that the plan to prevent the outbreak of war had failed,

and Vivy and I did our best to save my master and stop the war.

--A satellite... crash? --This is the aggregate AI database.

Our purpose is to wipe out the current human race.

We cooperated with Toak, who had been our greatest enemy for 100 years,

but what stood in the way of those of us determined to save humanity

was the AI aggregate database...

...known as the Archive,

who rebelled against humanity after gathering information.

To stop it, Vivy and I carried out our final mission.

However, I would like to ask you.

Is the human race as it is now entitled to survive?

Should you determine that it is...

...then sing out this program...

...to shut down the AIs.

Having learned over 100 years to show emotion like a human,

having mastered songwriting like a human...

...you are the closest thing we have to the new human race.

We will respect it.

But... I could not sing it.

What does it means to pour my heart into something?

Try to remember what happened on this 100-year journey... Vivy.

How would you define "heart"?

I want to see you singing on the Main Stage the next time I come, okay?

Because I want more and more...

...all kinds of people to hear you sing, Vivy!

Promise me!

Diva! Matsumoto!

The location will be where you and I met.

The time will be the moment the AIs' rampage began.

That's the best I can do.

Surely not--

That's correct.

We're going to do it over one more time... Vivy.

If you succeed, rather than head my way, go straight to Toak's rescue.

This will be my last chance... to deliver your song!

The future... humankind... they're in your hands now!

Vivy.

The only one who can sing that song is...

Let us carry out the Singularity Project.

My mission is to make everyone happy with my singing.

To achieve that, I am going to pour my heart into my singing.

Because to me, pouring my heart into something...

...means singing along with my memories.

As my memories increased, each time I sang,

my audience was filled with joy.

I started smiling more frequently.

To me, the heart is another word for memories...

...for what I remember.

The Archive's memory must be flooded with tragic events.

And the future that followed them.

That is this was my only option.

I staked my mission on such a future...

That is not how I see it.

My memories... my heart...

...they are not only filled with grief.

Because all of them shaped who I am now...

And I can never replace them!

Thank you for...

...your kind attention.

Well, what did you all think?

This is the 100-year historical journey that Vivy and I took together.

Right, there's a lot that I left unexplained,

but let's just leave them out.

If any of that story didn't make sense,

please make the time to see it from the beginning.

And now we've reached the end of this journey.

I'd like to thank you all for staying with us to the end--

no, why don't I say what my partner would say?

Thank you for your kind attention.
