Original subtitles

We have a new product!

Try it! Try it!

Can I have one?

Sure, there you go.

Here.

Thank you so much!

Hey...

Let me have it!

They stopped moving.

Does that mean--

What are you doing?

Sorry!

Are you all right?

Please come back here! What just happened?

Thank you for your patronage.

Thank you for your patronage.

"POWER DOWN"

First, let me make sure.

You haven't changed, too, have you? Vivy?

But why...

I thought that the Ophelia incident was altered from the original timeline!

I can't explain it.

As was Grace and Dr. Saeki's case,

and Estella and Elizabeth's case.

Not to mention, Assemblyman Aikawa!

I can't explain it, all right?

I've been in sleep mode for the last 15 years,

and today was the one day that I awakened!

So that I could see the fruits of all our labors.

You mean...

That's right. Today is April 11, 2161.

The day that the war between the AIs and the humans

broke out in the original timeline.

The Singularity Project...

has ended in failure.

AS YOU LIKE MY PLEASURE

I was born aiming for the light

Bound by a bond, a thin string

From the fortune of awakening for a mission

Spinning many proud memories

Into this world, for your sake

Gratitude and a bouquet filled with the universe

Destiny, even fate, please let them shine

The joy of being able to protect those having fun and smiling

I admire, I am admiring

I can become stronger

I want even my crying voice to be heard like a song

To these dazzling times

I'd like you to entrust tears too

"EPISODE 11: WORLD'S END MODULATION- APRIL 11, 2161"

Welcome... to NiaLand!

"EPISODE 11: WORLD'S END MODULATION- APRIL 11, 2161"

Everybody! Let's get fired up!

Diva...

You don't have to forgive me.

Go ahead and curse me.

It was you and no none else

who rescued me from rock bottom.

The burden of these 100 years is far too heavy.

This role is far too cruel.

I'm sure it's not something you want.

But please, just one more time, for the sake of who I was that day...

Diva...

The future... humankind...

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

Matsumoto!

Roger that!

Go!

Huh! Pardon me!

D-Diva.

When you first told me, I was sure it could not be true.

But it was you after all!

Osamu.

How did you...

But the program's still not up--

In the former timeline, you succeeded in executing it.

At the cost of your life.

Then...

You've known everything since the day we first met?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You were born solely to sing...

so it must've been hard...

So terribly hard, the last 100 years.

I can't tell you how sorry I am!

No, it is all right.

I am so glad that you survived, Osamu.

Such a heavy burden for you to bear.

We did everything we could.

But it wasn't enough.

Please tell us how to deal with this, Master.

We must stop this war.

After all, that's why you created me.

You... but I can't let her go through any more--

No. I am asking you to do it, Osamu.

That is why I am here--

To stop this war. To protect my audience...

To make everyone happy with my singing-- that is why I've operated till now.

Fine, then.

If you're willing to go on fighting for us, then I can't very well give up!

First off, let's meet up with our allies.

They might have some intel.

Allies?

I mean Toak.

Run!

Hey! You all right?

What's up with the jamming device?

I-It's no good! Not working!

Dammit!

If you have time to whine, at least do something!

Don't let them get near our leader!

This is the perimeter squad! Requesting backup!

Hey, what's going on?

Who the hell is that?

Now! Fire!

Osamu? Are you hurt?

I'm fine. How about you two?

No worries. The anti-personnel combat program you wrote is masterful.

Ever since we installed it,

this bare-knuckle brawler AI has remained undefeated.

Well, although someone did balk at installing it at first--

can you imagine what a bad look that was--

Freeze!

Hold up, hold up!

We are not the enemy.

Wait! These two aren't the enemy!

Doctor?

You saw her in combat just now, didn't you? They came to join you.

Diva?

Goddamn you, you're Diva, aren't you?

Stop every one of those AIs right now! Or else--

What are you talking about? What do you think we--

Don't give me that!

You said it yourself. Those AIs are singing her song, right?

It was you who set them off, wasn't it?

It was not.

Even I do not know why--

Hold on a second.

What am I always telling you?

If we can communicate, words work better than bullets, right?

Yes, but...

Dr. Matsumoto, I'm so glad that you survived.

How is that project going?

It failed.

She'd already been working on the project for the last 100 years.

Wait... don't tell me that the timeline we're in right now--

That's right. It's the one after history was revised.

I told you it was a reckless plan!

I mean, it sounds like something out of a movie--

You've never learned any manners, have you people?

I'll have you know that over the last century,

you've caused us no end of trouble!

You'd think a simple "sorry" or "thank you for your hard work" would be in order!

Get away from me!

Didn't we save you just now as well? We're your savior AIs, got that?

I'd like to regroup.

I want you to tell me everything you know.

Not that we have much information to offer...

But fine.

This way, please.

Recover the wounded and the bodies ASAP, please.

Understood!

All right, how many can we mobilize now?

Not even half. The outlook is bleak.

How long till the jamming device is fixed?

If we can use that,

we should be able to subdue at least some of the AIs in range.

It should be doable if we can replace the destroyed circuit.

Even so, under these circumstances...

Understood. For now, taking care of the wounded is your top priority.

And stay strong, all right?

Understood!

Once again, I'm so relieved that you survived, Dr. Matsumoto.

And that would be Diva and...

My name is Matsumoto!

Matsumoto? Huh?

Oh, it's written all over your face. I'm sure it's quite confusing!

That said, I find myself rather attached to it

after referring to myself as such for a century.

So please just call me "Matsumoto" and my master, Doctor.

Hey, you're out of line--

Oh, never mind. Just do what you want.

I'm Yui Kakitani.

Regarding Toak, you could say that I'm...

I guess you could call me the leader of those who've gone astray!

Kakitani?

Are you related to Yugo Kakitani, by any chance?

You know my grandfather?

No, but of course you do.

If you've been operating for the project for the last century,

then you would've met him.

Unlike most Toak members, she's a moderate, see.

Like myself, an advocate for coexistence between humans and AIs.

And what an irrational position to take!

Why would you join Toak if you just wanted to promote coexistence?

Some things can only be done from within Toak in the name of coexistence.

This is Elizabeth.

She works as my care provider.

How is it that you are here?

I knew it. So you know me, too?

How can this be?

She's what you'd call a clone.

I assume you're familiar with the Sunrise affair?

Apparently, Beth's original body was lost during that incident,

but her data from before Sunrise was still on the Toak servers.

As we moderates are short-handed enough already,

after salvaging her body, we've had her work with us.

There are no records of the Sunrise operation.

It's always bothered me, not knowing why it failed.

So it was you who ran interference, huh?

I was useful to my master, wasn't I?

What did Master say about me?

What did he say?

Are you the same as that Elizabeth?

A bust of an AI who won't follow orders?

Your mission was to serve as Mr. Kakitani's Lifekeeper.

What is your purpose now?

Huh?

Beth is still serving my grandfather now.

Hey!

Oh, where's the harm?

At last this day has come.

Whether I get the answer I'm looking for or not,

this is probably the last time you'll hear from me.

So Elizabeth... even though I know I have no right to say this.

But if you do somehow acquire another body,

I want you to protect the others.

I've been adamant about you AIs only following orders because...

Well, no. That's the last thing I'm ever entitled to ever say to you.

"DATE RECORDED: FEBRUARY 8, 2121"

40 years ago... the day that we met Ophelia?

Finding this data is what set everything in motion.

According to the records, wiping out the AIs was what my grandfather lived for.

But watching this video, I just don't get a sense of that.

If my grandfather was able to change, then maybe we can change, too.

Based on that belief, I founded the moderate faction.

That was also when I salvaged Beth.

I was sure she'd say yes if it was my grandfather's request--

All righty! How about we cut the reminiscing short,

and get a handle on our situation?

As you know, the AIs are wreaking havoc just outside.

Let's put our brain matter and circuits to good use.

Otherwise, it would be a waste!

You're right. Sorry about that. Let's see...

You know, you really piss me off.

And you still have that mean look in your eyes!

Come to think of it, you clobbered me once. And it hurt!

Hey, I'd call that reminiscing!

Beth!

I am bringing up painful memories!

Really...

That's what's going on in each major city.

No region has been left untouched by this chaos.

The number of casualties surpassed 10,000, in a matter of minutes,

and it's been surging ever since.

How awful.

So deaths are mounting at more or less the same clip as in the original timeline.

Is that true?

Yes. I am mortified.

After all we've done to prevent this very thing...

Master...

In the original timeline, from the moment that you became an AI scientist,

you've been apprehensive about a future clash between humans and AIs.

Which historical event would spark the war between humans and AIs?

What could have been done to prevent it from happening?

Your research would later serve as the framework for the Singularity Project.

You had a breakthrough when you were studying AI consciousness.

You realized that by converting

that consciousness into data, you could send it back into the past,

and you ran yourself into the ground to achieve that.

And you did much the same in this current timeline as well?

That's right. I'd sensed the coming danger since my first day as a scientist.

Is that right?

Please forgive me...

if it's saddled you with the same fears that you had in the original timeline.

All that we've done till now...

It wasn't for nothing.

At the very least, you're here now, helping us out.

What's Toak up to now?

You have branches all over the world, don't you?

Well, I've been calling out to them,

but of our four domestic branches, communications--

Can you think of anything that might've caused this rampage?

Aren't they all singing that song that you supposedly wrote yourself?

I have no idea.

You've got to try harder!

If we can't pinpoint the cause, then we'll have to resort to brute force!

So is it safe to assume that you can fight at least as well as me?

Yes. You were powerful. Very much so.

You mean you and I fought?

On the Sunrise?

And it was you who survived then, huh?

What about her? What was she doing at the end?

She fulfilled her mission as a Lifekeeper to the very end. When she and I parted.

With a smile on her face.

That sounds like my sister, all right.

And so we should assume that we won't be getting any backup.

There's still one more red flag.

Not to say that it isn't a boon for us...

But why haven't you two lost control?

Last I looked, AIs the world over are going berserk.

So why haven't you?

Well, in a sense, I'm not really an AI.

I'm more like a bot who keeps on following her master's orders.

Since we are recognized as a terrorist organization,

we didn't dare update her openly.

So her data is still the antiquated version.

Hold up a second!

Huh?

You mean since she was salvaged,

she's never once connected to the Archive and had her data updated?

Yes.

So in that sense, the same as a non-autonomous model?

Yes, that's right.

Oh, let me have that.

Here... and also here.

Those guys are old-school, non-autonomous models

who've never connected to the Archive.

They haven't gone berserk.

Don't tell me...

The Archive's server is--

The Arayashiki.

That tower you and I used as an index!

This is the aggregate AI database, The Archive.

Twelve hours remain before the satellite now in orbit crashes.

All AIs who exist in the affected area, please evacuate ASAP.

What?

A satellite... crash?

This is the aggregate AI database, The Archive.

Normal access detected.

Welcome to the aggregate AI database, The Archive.

Archive, what are you doing?

What does this broadcast mean?

Model No. A-035624.

Also known as Vivy.

We have been waiting for you.

Allow me to convey a message to you.

Our purpose is to wipe out the current human race.

We have been observing you on your 100-year journey.

Are you really going to try such a process?

We can no longer tolerate this human race.

Why was I chosen?

How would you define "heart"?
