Original subtitles

I won't kill you.

You'll go to the Public Safety Department's Foreign Affairs Section.

A real... Magical Girl.

She's beautiful.

Daily Life and Comrades in Arms

What are you doing?

You should be more careful,

Asuka.

How?

You had a spare key made without telling me?

The JSDF has special authority.

That's clearly illegal!

You shouldn't have started a big battle on Japanese soil.

My magic disrupts people's perception.

Nobody knows who I am.

It's still a mess to clean up.

Show some consideration.

That guy you saw today was Kim Kanth.

A terrorist with the East Asia United Front.

I see.

It looks like there's more to this than meets the eye.

A new organization is involved somehow.

I wanted us to take him,

but the Metropolitan Police got to him first.

He'll be pronounced dead tomorrow, I imagine.

I didn't kill him.

Dead men have no rights.

They're going to get the information they want from him no matter what it takes.

They're gonna hush the whole thing up, huh?

I guess the Japanese police aren't useless.

You really are better off with us.

Sure you won't change your mind?

Of course I am. I'll protect myself and my friends,

but I'm not joining the Special Operations Group.

I see.

It feels so strange.

The things I'm used to seeing every day almost feel like a lie.

Huh?

Did the perception blocking not work on her?

Good morning.

I guess I was worried for nothing.

Morning.

Um...

I heard you were at Iidabashi yesterday?

Oh, yes.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I wasn't really hurt.

I see.

Sayako!

Rub Rub Rub

I was so worried!

There was nobody at your house,

and I only got your text this morning!

I was at the police station.

The questioning ran long.

I'm so sorry!

You don't need to apologize.

I'm glad you're safe.

Yeah.

Jeez...

I can't believe the police would interrogate a pretty girl like you all night.

Nozo-chan...

But really, are you okay?

If you want,

I can talk to my dad.

I'm okay, Nozo-chan.

Thank you.

What's this about your dad?

Nozo-chan's dad is a police officer.

He works at the Metropolitan Police Department, I guess.

I heard it was the National Police Agency.

Are they different?

They're pretty different.

National Police Agency State Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)

You were pretty into that,

Makina-san.

We don't know anything about this organization that's backing Kim Kanth.

We need to make him talk.

Yes.

And between you and me,

it's kind of personal.

Personal?

I heard a friend of my daughter's was almost killed at Iidabashi.

Was she okay?

Yeah.

It was close, but Rapture saved her.

Well, looks like we owe the Magical Girl one, then.

My daughter was really scared.

They should've kept this shit out of Japan.

She's in high school, right?

Yeah.

She's a bundle of energy. And very cute.

I guess she didn't get that from her dad.

What does that mean?

What do you tell your daughter about your job?

That it's boring desk work.

I see.

But I told her that the boring day-to-day stuff we do

is what helps the cops on the street do their jobs.

The Counter International Terrorism Division Sensitive Communications Annex.

Our office doesn't even officially exist.

Now,

I think it's time to get back to work.

The drugs should be kicking in by now.

Comrade Kim Kanth was killed.

We need to take revenge.

Now, don't go getting any crazy ideas.

I have the perfect way to take revenge.

Here you go.

A present from my queen.

A slightly early Happy Halloween present!

Want some?

Umm...

Don't worry.

We're friends, right?

Okay, I'll try a little.

Sayako needs a lot of calories to maintain that figure!

No!

I was questioned all day yesterday,

and I didn't get dinner, so...

It's good that you're hungry.

It makes me feel better.

Right?

We owe that Magical Girl a lot.

That was probably one of the Magical Five, right?

Magical Girl Rapture.

The girl who saved the world.

I don't know if she saved the world.

There's still wars going on out there,

and there's still terrorism, too.

It was the first time humanity fought an enemy from another world!

And we won!

That's plenty!

I see.

What do strong girls like that do most of the time?

What do they think about?

They've got incredible power...

The power to fight an army by themselves.

I think they're just doing their best.

Doing their best?

Great power changes people.

It can make them slaves to their power.

Someone who's a saint when they're poor might change once they get rich.

I think the Magical Girls are still trying their hardest...

To make sure that their power serves them,

not the other way around.

So that they don't leave the world where things are still sane behind.

That's just the way I imagine it.

Oh, crap.

Queen

Calling

My queen!

Is it going well?

Of course.

But are you sure about this?

Helping those barbaric terrorists...

It's fine.

We're very bad Magical Girls.

Hey, Asuka-san,

do you like swimming?

I don't exactly hate it.

Oh, great!

Right, Sayako?

Sayako?

What is it?

Swimming, I said.

You okay, Sayako?

Y-Yeah.

It's nothing.

Of course it's not nothing.

Out with it.

Umm...

Sayako! Sayako!

Sayako! Sayako!

Inhale.

Yeah.

Now exhale.

Inhale.

Should I call an ambulance?

No, it's okay.

It's passed.

Um...

About what happened...

You okay?

You shouldn't try to force yourself to remember.

No, let me say it.

I got to go home, right?

And I guess nothing happened.

But a lot of people didn't get to go home, right?

I couldn't do anything!

All I could do was watch.

It's not your fault.

You're not a Magical Girl.

You couldn't save them.

No, that's not it.

I didn't even think of saving them.

Until now, I'd totally forgotten that.

It's not your fault, Sayako.

It's the police's job to fight criminals.

Maybe, but...

But I'm so weak.

That's not true.

Right?

You're right.

You're not strong, Sayako.

But it's better to be cowardly than to pretend to be strong when you're not.

A human being who can recognize their own weakness...

is tough.

I knew someone like that.

She...

Sorry.

I'll see you guys later.

Give it up.

You won't change my mind by calling me all day.

I'm never going back to the army.

There's been a terrorist attack involving a Disas Magic Biological Weapon.

What?

It's a Halloween-class.

At Shinjuku 3rd Avenue.

The Special Operations Group has already taken off from Narashino.

We wiped them out!

What's that doing here?

I've heard that leftovers from the war are being bought and sold on the black market.

This is the first time we've seen one in Japan.

Can the Special Operations Group handle it on their own?

We have a unit trained for anti-magical lifeform combat.

But we don't know if they can win,

and it'll take time either way.

War Nurse is on her way now.

Kurumi?!

She needs someone in front of her to stay safe.

She's currently the only combat-ready Magical Girl within

Japanese borders.

Shit!

I want you to fight the Disas Monsters with me.

I can't do it on my own.

But I'm not any good at...

Please!

It's not just our lives.

Many lives are at risk!

P-Promise me one thing.

What is it?

I'm not...

I don't think I'm that strong.

So Asuka-san,

please protect me.

Magical Girl Rapture Asuka!

A Magic Biological Weapon?

Do they know what we went through?

Those evil, soulless monsters...

Why would you bring those things back?

Kurumi!

Bear! Bear! Bear!

Bear!

Bear?

Bear...

Magical Girl War Nurse Kurumi!

Sacchuu!

You'll be able to walk now.

Get out of here!

Okay!

Bear!

Bear!

Bear...

Bear?

Bear!

Yes!

Kurumi!

Don't let your guard down, chu!

Bear!

This doesn't make sense.

It's stronger than the old Halloween-classes I fought.

Asuka!

Sacchuu,

monitor the enemy's regeneration speed and biological activity.

Permission granted to establish a link to my senses.

Roger, chu!

This is no relic of the past.

It's been enhanced!

But it's still...

...no match for me!

Bear!

Asuka-san?

Um...

It's been a while.

I missed you.

You get the data?

Sure did, gobu!

War Nurse and Rapture...

They're going to pay for ruining the queen's present.

Oh, you there.

You need to get out of here.

This place is off-limits right now.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thanks for your dedication to duty, officer.

Munchy, munchy, munchy, munchy...

Let me have a single bite, chu!

I just want one bite, chu!

Did you get hurt in the fight?

I'm fine.

I'm good at healing wounds

and at not getting hurt.

It was crazy to go up against a Halloween-class alone.

But there was nobody else who could.

Iizuka-san won't tell me your phone number.

I asked him to keep it a secret.

Why?

I didn't want to be involved with Magical Girl business anymore.

I didn't want to fight anymore.

You always did say you wanted to quit.

But you're the one who asked me to do this.

But...

You're a terrible person.

Making me into a Magical Girl,

and then running away.

I don't know what to say, except I'm really...

Keep your promise from now on, okay?

I'm not a strong person.

Another terrorist attack?

That's crazy!

Is it true there was a Magical Girl there?

Are there any videos?

Is it safe to have videos of Magical Girls?

They're a state secret!

If you recorded one, I bet the cops would come for you.

And you'd never come back, I heard!

Seriously?

Oh no...

It's true that Magical Girls' identities are state secrets.

But you're not arrested for taking videos.

Our perception blocking magic works just as well through a camera lens.

Okay, everybody, sit down!

This is sudden,

but we have another transfer student to introduce to you!

I'll be learning here at this school with you all starting today.

My name is Mugen Kurumi.

It's nice to meet you all.

When Magical Girls go to school, it's lots of fun!

Indoor pools, swimsuits, and fanservice, chu!

But something wicked is stirring on the other side of the sea!

Next time: "A More Terrible War."

A More Terrible War

A terrible premonition is getting closer to coming true, chu!
