Original subtitles

Take Nozomi and get out of here.

Systema? The martial arts used by Russian special forces?

Zloy dukh Systema.

We need to work hard enough to justify our salaries.

Let's play, Magical Girl.

This might not be easy.

Iizuka-san...

Yeah, I can hear you.

I've recovered the hostage.

She's stable.

Rapture is in combat with the terrorists.

I've got an ambulance on standby, I'm sending it over.

Put the hostage aboard.

Roger.

What sound does a Magical Girl make when you cut off her limb, I wonder?

A Very Realistic Way of Dealing with a Problem

They've applied a military two-man cell technique to magical combat.

I need to do something about that spirit.

This is M Squad.

We have the hostage.

We will now support the Magical Girls.

A terrorist with a bomb is in a standoff in Ookubo,

and the riot police have him surrounded.

That's what we're telling the press.

Thanks,

Commissioner Miura.

And Inspector Makino,

your daughter is safe.

According to our interrogations of Kim Kanth,

they have an illegally-created Magical Girl backing them,

as well as magical mercenaries.

I see.

But...

This was expected.

M Squad's troops are elite,

but they're still human, right?

How will you fight?

Don't worry.

My squad has very realistic tactics for dealing with Magical Girls.

I need to go save Asuka-san.

You're gonna pay for what you did back there.

Magical Girl Barber Scissors Abby.

M-Magical Girl?

I'll cut you to pieces with my magical scissors.

Magical Calorie Roll-Up!

Rip them apart,

Rapture Talon!

Rusalka!

Magical Girl Trivia!

Rapture Talon:

the Magical Karambit, but magically grown to a huge size!

It uses up a lot of magical energy,

but it hits hard, chu!

Using that big move has drained my magic, but...

In a one-on-one fight,

you're no match for me.

Thanks to you,

I was able to get my sense for magical combat back.

Sacchuu!

Leave it to me, chu!

Go!

War Nurse!

I want to kill you.

I really want to kill you, but...

The queen's orders must be followed!

The queen...

Her commander?

I'll beat you half to death and then kidnap you.

I'll let you off easy today.

Two Halloween-classes?

No, these are also enhanced!

Gotcha!

Gobu!

I see.

She's just as strong, huh?

That's my Asuka!

That concludes my report, Your Majesty.

Why are you sneaking around, chu?!

Who is your leader, this "queen," chu?

I ain't tellin' you, gobu!

Gobu! Gobu!

Well,

compared to the queen, you guys ain't nothing but tras—

Gobu!

Spirit Punch!

Sacchuu got 'im, chu!

Why try to kill him?

Seal his magic and capture him while he's still breathing.

Right away, chu.

Iizuka-san,

the magical mercenaries are down,

and the enemy fairy has been captured.

Well done.

Tell Sacchuu to bring it here.

Is Nozomi okay?

Yeah.

But War Nurse is in combat with the enemy.

They followed her.

She's in combat to your southwest.

Roger!

Look at you. You're a mess.

Everybody talks about the Magical Five,

but you're nothing.

I...

I don't like that.

That Magical Five thing.

There were eleven of us!

We five were just the only survivors.

It's the six who died who should be legends!

God damn, you're gloomy!

Well, you hung in there.

I guess I'll just take off below the knees, so you can't run.

Chief,

our firing tests were accurate.

A bullet with an Orichalcum core can penetrate a Halloween-class's magic shield.

It was extremely effective.

Well done.

M Squad, begin the attack!

Ise, take out the Disas beast.

Kaede, use APHE rounds to deal with the enemy Magical Girl.

Are you okay?

You came for me, didn't you?

It's time to show you the results of our training.

One Halloween-Class down.

We are currently engaged with the enemy Magical Girl.

The Magical Girl

seems capable of deploying a magical shield more powerful than a Halloween-class's.

It's fine.

All you have to do is keep her where she is.

Roger.

I'll use special incendiary ammo to delay her.

Who the fuck do you maggots think you are?

M Squad's done all we can ask of them.

The most effective way to deal with a Magical Girl...

As of now,

it's simply to send another Magical Girl at them.

You seemed so happy when you cut the hostage's arm off.

I'm surprised to see so much pain on your face after I cut off your fingers.

Rapture, you bitch!

When there are more Magical Girls,

it means there's more trash like you!

Wh-What is this?

A magical cube?

The source of the magic is...

Over there!

A new Magical Girl has appeared!

M Squad has been cut off by a magical barrier!

I can't make it with the magic I've got now.

My queen...

I know her!

Who is she?

Where have I seen her?

The magical signal has disappeared.

Looks like we've defeated the enemy.

We didn't defeat them.

They just left.

The hostage was saved,

and two Halloween-classes were defeated.

This is a big success.

Well, maybe not a big one,

but it's enough.

Why did they run?

If they had fought, we would've...

Rapture...

War Nurse...

Makino Akinori.

As Nozomi's father,

let me thank you.

How is she doing?

Thanks to War Nurse's skilled hands,

her external wounds have healed.

External wounds?

Yeah.

The mental damage...

Just seeing a small pair of scissors is enough to...

Nozomi, I'm sorry.

Was I too loud?

Please, no more!

Don't hurt me with magic!

Nozomi!

I'll do anything! Please!

They're not the enemy!

They saved you!

Why?

Why won't you leave?

I don't want to even see a Magical Girl!

She's been like this ever since then.

She might struggle with PTSD for the rest of her life.

My magic can heal her.

Really?

It will involve removing all her memories of the past week, though.

Let's eat lunch together.

You know, you want to give your all at the thing you're good at, right?

You need to have fun with your life right now!

So let's do this again!

But if you think it will save her...

Wait.

Rapture?

No, it's nothing.

War Nurse...

Will there be any after-effects?

No.

But if any more time passes, and the trauma affixes itself to her nervous system...

I won't be able to do anything.

If it will make things easier for my daughter...

Please.

All right.

That's your cue.

Sacchuu!

I will begin the memory-erasing procedure.

Sacchuu,

your job will be to project the contents

of her brain environment in real time and monitor her condition.

Roger.

This is an autonomous needle for use in delicate operations.

This procedure is to erase short-term memories,

so the needle will extend into her hippocampus.

In order to ensure that she doesn't experience any flashbacks,

we will isolate the ganglions connected to episodic memory

via the hippocampus.

I'm injecting magically-charged microparticles into the hippocampus.

It's done.

When she wakes up,

she'll be the daughter you once knew.

I'm so sorry.

Asuka-san, um...

You may laugh if I say this, but...

When I was a kid,

my dream was to be a Magical Girl.

A Magical Girl who used magic to defeat the bad guys and save everybody.

But in reality,

fighting the enemy isn't that simple.

I've let many of my comrades die in the war three years ago.

And this time,

what happened to Nozomi...

I knew it, I just didn't want to admit it.

I can't protect anything.

Don't say that, please.

Kurumi...

If it weren't for you,

both Nozomi-san and I would've been killed.

You saved us!

Magical Girl Rapture Asuka saved us!

So...

I want you to keep your head up and fight,

and know that the path you chose was the right one.

But I can't.

You can!

I became a Magical Girl because I wanted to be like you.

Thank you, Kurumi.

Did you do the procedure on Makino Nozomi?

It was successful.

I see.

It hurts to have someone you know get caught up in this.

To tell the truth,

I'd love it if we could solve this with just professional soldiers.

But the truth of the matter is, right now,

the only way to win a magical fight is to use Magical Girls.

It's pathetic.

Iizuka-san...

You have things only you can do.

Of course,

we Magical Girls do, too.

I'll join your spec-ops team.

The Magical Girl Operations Development Unit,

M Squad.

Asuka-san!

A Magical Girl who saves everyone, huh?

JGSDF Narashino Garrison

The hostage,

Makino Nozomi

has had both her face and identity identified by the terrorists.

There's a chance they'll go after her again.

In light of the psychological stress that would place on Rapture,

I believe Makino Nozomi should

be given a new identity and sent to a faraway school.

Public Safety Foreign Affairs thinks differently.

If they continue to go after Makino Nozomi,

Foreign Affairs wants to use her as bait for a trap.

She's bait, huh?

To Foreign Affairs, yes.

Two Magical Girls go to that school.

Don't you think that's safer than trying to hide her somewhere?

Let's give them what they want.

Anyway, well done on the Rapture matter.

Now the M Squad plan can really begin.

Yes.

Morning, Asuka!

Hey. Morning, Nozomi.

My Asuka's looking as pretty as ever this morning!

Um...

Are you feeling okay?

Of course!

It's the first time this year we're going to the pool!

Yeah, you're right.

This is for the best.

Asuka!

There you are!

Hey, are you free this weekend?

Let's go see this!

Cheerleader Samurai vs. Megaton Shark!

It's starting this Saturday.

What's wrong, Asuka?

Nothing.

I was looking forward to seeing it with you.

A brief break after the battle!

But when Magical Girl Just Cause Mia comes to Japan,

there's more trouble in store!

Next time: "Wish Upon a Star."

Wish Upon a Star

I was born to provide combat support,

so I have no dreams or wishes besides victory, chu!
