We must be fools...

Look at the traces of our former dreams.

No more days of innocence.

FAFNER

We give in to the flow as we become adults.

Does it mean we become dirty little by little?

Like fruits, ripe ones are chosen...

cut up by a knife...

and swallowed, but before that...

We aimed at Shangri-La...

Unable to suppress our desire.

We desired the freedom, but could it be just our imagination?

Now we can say that this is the paradise.

No more days of innocence.

I will fight, too...

Hazama Family ...Shoko.

Hazama Family

Episode 19 SIGHT (Maya)

Tell me as soon as you feel sick.

I'm all right, Mom.

Proceed with the pilot's physical check.

There is no sign of air sickness.

Tomi-Senpai... amazing.

It's beautiful.

Not highly remarkable, but surprisingly stable.

She's slow in a good way, isn't she?

There doesn't seem to be any problem...

...with her immediate fighting ability, I guess.

I think she's more suitable for backup than for fighting at the front.

That is called favoritism, Soshi.

Can you replicate the controls for the backup firearms?

Yes.

Start the equipment simulation.

Please use Dragon Tooth.

I wonder if I can use this like Mizoguchi?

Hmm... She looks good.

Start from a distance of 1,200.

I'm going to let the target out.

Stay calm.

Work on breathing in harmony, missy.

She hit it.

Move away 200 each time she hits.

She is maintaining a hit rate of over 90 percent.

Current distance... 2,800.

Tomi-Senpai is really great.

Just as you expected.

We don't know how she'll do in a real battle.

No. She has pretty good senses.

If we train her right, she won't have any problem shooting alone.

She has definite potential to become the best sniper in Alvis.

Why can't I ride this machine?

The pilots of the Nothung Model have a special factor.

Fafners are assigned according to that criteria.

For example, this Mark Sein...

...is so in tune with Kazuki that it won't accept any other synergetic code.

I envy Kazuki. I want mine to be remodeled, too.

Shall we ask Neo U.N.?

I'll take it back after they're done with the remodeling.

You'd better not do that.

What do you mean?

This one... almost assimilated Tomi.

It has three times more Fenrir.

Nothing will remain after it blows up.

I don't think you want to ride something like that, do you?

Her potential is unknown.

We shouldn't use her in a real battle.

Soshi, you are afraid of entering her into the system.

If both Kazuki and Maya are in danger...

...which one do you give priority to?

Didn't you go watch Maya's training?

I have to finish this paper by today.

Let's see...

"The island residents' behavior on the holiday is called Bon or Ura Bon."

In other words, the Bon festival.

A festival at a time like this?

It's held because of times like this.

This island exists to protect the culture of peace.

I'm back.

Rina, welcome back.

Tomi-Senpai was cool.

Commander Makabe said she can fight immediately, too.

- Fight immediately... - Yes.

Is that so...?

I'm sending data. Get confirmation from each section.

Yes.

Hey.

Why do we need more pilots?

The Festum are getting active all over.

A large number of Festum could attack here again anytime.

I know that.

By the way, we're going to carry out that plan today!

Y-Yeah...

We have Maya's situation, too. My family is having serious issues.

Yeah...

I'm scared... thinking of Maya riding Fafner.

I'm sorry. Everyone is enduring, but...

The children are the ones who are really scared.

If the adults show anxiety...

...it will put unnecessary pressure on the children.

Yes.

He's lasted a long time.

Yes... Thanks to the island data and his body...

We could see the possibility of prolonging the pilots' lives.

Our future path, too...

You and your daughter have excellent vision to see that far ahead.

What you did could never be considered useless.

- Oops! Whoa... - Hey-hey, are you all right, missy?

I'm all right. I'm all right.

Oh, there are many of you, Mr. Mizoguchi, and you're spinning.

Tomi?

Oh, good timing. Come here a second.

What happened?

She's drunk from the influence of the synergetic code.

Drunk?

I'm not drunk.

It's the beginner's high.

She must have been really tense because it was her first training.

That's why I'll leave the rest to you.

Eh? What?

She's going to be an important war colleague. Take her home.

Colleague...

Kazuki, I found you!

T-Tomi!

What are you doing?

Oh, Soshi! This is...

Huh?

Soshi and Tsubaki. How are you?

Fine, fine!

All right. Good girl.

Soshi, help me.

Sorry, but I'm busy now.

What?

Take responsibility and get Tomi home.

That's an order from me as battle commander.

Soshi, Tsubaki. See ya!

Oh!

You are not easygoing, are you, Soshi?

- Everyone. - Huh?

The answer to the earlier question.

No matter how dangerous the situation is...

...I will protect every pilot in the Siegfried System.

You are not the only one, Soshi.

Are you all right, Tomi?

Yeah.

I can walk on my own now.

Sorry...

I seem to have gotten giddy.

I couldn't walk straight my first time either.

No. Not like that.

I think I was really glad.

Glad?

The joy of being able to see the same things everyone else saw...

I'm sure Shoko felt this way, too...

Rather than riding Fafner, it felt like I was becoming Fafner.

I was a different version of myself.

I'm going to change, too, Kazuki.

Tomi.

Hi, you two.

Sis, what's with those bags?

To celebrate your training.

Eh?

Kazuki, why don't you join us?

Dad's coming back today...

Right! We could invite Commander Makabe, too!

You're right! I'll contact him.

Hey, Sis. What do you think you're doing?

Never mind, never mind.

Let's get ready before Mom comes home.

Excuse me, l...

Don't say anything. Think of this as helping me, all right?

Yeah...

Kazuki is a good cook, isn't he?

It's because he doesn't have his mother.

Why don't you live with Kazuki...

...since you're not good at cooking?

I-I'm not like you, Sis.

What's wrong with it?

Then Mom will be more understanding about us, too.

How can she?! Well...

Perfect!

Let's make this the main strike. Now, as the side attack...

Oh, no! The enemy approached earlier than I expected.

Hmm?

She's already here?!

In a case like this, we must be brave and face the enemy!

I'm home... Huh?

Welcome home, Mother.

W-What is this...?

Excuse me.

Tomi Clinic I heard Kazuki is here...

Tomi Clinic

Do you come here often?

No... Once in a while...

Hey, what are you thinking, Yumiko?

Hmm. Not so bad, is it?

W-What...

Mom, you whine only to Mr. Makabe, don't you?

I finished washing the dishes. Any other order?

Thank you. How about tea?

Is that an order?

No. Here you go.

When there is no order, I'm at a loss about what to do.

Then be at a loss more often.

That is the only order from me.

That is a difficult mission.

We need to prepare Dad's first Bon, don't we?

I will defeat as many enemies as possible.

That is the best consolation for Dad's soul.

Sakura...

I will never run away.

Thank you very much for dinner.

I'm sorry for Yumiko's behavior today.

It was the first time in a while that I remembered why the island exists.

If you don't mind me saying so...

...some people on the island are trying to start new lives.

That's...

Michio and Yumiko are trustworthy.

Please support the children's growth.

Yes.

We did it!

That was a great dinner, wasn't it?

What's the matter?

I was thinking, some things never change, do they?

You're right.

We're doing the Bon festival dance, aren't we?

What is the Bon festival dance?

We build a very high wooden stage and everyone dances.

We'll have food vendors, too.

Dance party, is it?

It's a little different.

It's the festival to pray for the repose of the deceased.

Requiem, isn't it?

Right. Like that.

We need to prepare ones for Kuramae and Shoko.

Hey, what about for Koyo?

F-Fool! He's still alive!

Koyo?

That's the person I couldn't save.

I see.

Let's go visit Koyo again.

I'm sure he'll wake up if we all talk to him.

Not there! You can't go!

Solomon has responded. Ambivalent.

The type cannot be determined.

It does not recognize the target as an enemy.

I don't care!

Start Vaffe Larden. Let all pilots board Fafners.

Solomon doesn't think of it as an enemy.

Does that mean...?

If so, it will be a troublesome enemy.

Some pilots may become victims.

I will position one in each direction.

Position Mark Sieben in the center with its equipment.

Tomi?

We need numbers.

Our damage could be as bad as Moldova's.

I won't let it happen.

Please.

Maya.

Mom...

Ittekimasu.

I won't let you have your way on my island.

It is a simultaneous invasion from five spots.

Take your positions.

I'm ready anytime.

I'm in position.

I'm ready.

Goubain!

It's too soon.

Watch me, Dad.

Are you all right, Tomi?

Fine.

I will link audio communication so you can easily understand the situation.

But follow my instructions when shooting.

Roger.

The enemy is assimilating with Welle Shield.

Brunhilde System is working, isn't it?

It has automatically switched into defense mode.

As I expected, it is that type.

Yeah.

It fell? Did we defeat it?

Here comes the rare type.

Be careful, Canon.

Fight back with your weapons!

Do not engage in contact battle!

This one... doesn't attack?

Release Aegis equipment!

Mark Funf, retreat!

Mark Acht, get him during the assimilation action!

I did it. I did it!

It's the eye! Everyone, aim for the eye in the head.

Damn!

It's a different type...

Now's the time!

Go to hell!

The enemies at 9:00, 1:00, and 6:00 have disappeared.

The enemy at 3:00 is retreating to the upper sky.

Pretty good.

Not yet.

Leave just one, and it will eat up the island.

The bullets... Y-You!

Mark Drei, don't! Retreat!

Mark Drei has been contacted.

Everyone, assist her!

No! No!

Mom, help me!

- Mom! - Sakura...

Get the pilot out quickly!

I'm doing it!

What do you want me to do...?

Do you want me to shoot Sakura too?!

We've arrived.

We'll do it.

Aim for the moment it stops moving, Canon.

You don't need to do it. I will be the bad guy.

You...

Because I'm not from this island.

You guys! You're going to kill Sakura?!

Freeze Mark Acht's equipment.

- Sakura! Sakura! - No!

- Stop! - Help me! Help me!

- Do you want us all to be assimilated? - Minashiro.

- Ignore them, Canon! The timing! - Minashiro.

Why are you locking my weapon?

Unlock it.

If you shoot, the enemy will come toward you.

So what?

I...

...am here.

Kazuki, I'm going to lead the enemy away from Mark Drei.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Lead it away? How?

Mark Sieben will do it.

Tomi?

I understand.

She did it!

There's one more left!

- No! - Tomi!

The Festum has disappeared! All pilots are unharmed!

Tomi-Senpai... is really awesome...

Good job.

Withdraw all Fafners to Mukoujima dock.

Everyone, welcome the pilots.

Sakura!

Mom!

I was scared.

I was scared.

Welcome back, Canon.

I... I'm back.

I'm scared now?

Why don't we have dinner together, Soshi?

It's about time you stop referring to me without a respectful title.

- I am your big brother. - It doesn't matter.

You are you, Soshi.

Too-dazzling mornings...

call for "abandonment" don't they?

I want to expose everything and just leave myself to it.

With clenched cold fingers you smile with sorrow.

It leaves me speechless and my sight blurred.

A beginning comes to an end sooner or later.

There's no need for solace.

I want to keep you warm at least...

So please give me a little more time...

God...
