1
00:00:00,875 --> 00:00:05,088
Colonel Milizé!
April 13th, Stellar Year 2142

2
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,059
Father!

3
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:34,826
If anybody's still alive,
cover your ears and get down!

4
00:01:27,045 --> 00:01:28,129
You okay?

5
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:39,891
Confirmation complete.

6
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:41,559
Returning to base.

7
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:48,608
Want some?

8
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:56,407
Even at a time like this, I thought
maybe you could eat something sweet.

9
00:01:56,407 --> 00:01:59,244
Or do you not like chocolate?

10
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,913
Good.

11
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:04,666
Father...

12
00:02:05,667 --> 00:02:10,880
said we were doing horrible things
to the Eighty-Six.

13
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:16,261
So why did you protect me?

14
00:02:18,137 --> 00:02:19,555
Well...

15
00:02:20,556 --> 00:02:25,019
We're part of the Republic.
We were born and raised here.

16
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,607
It's a citizen's duty to fight to protect his country.
It's something to be proud of.

17
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,235
I'm not one of those losers
who just talks and does nothing.

18
00:02:33,361 --> 00:02:34,696
So I fight.

19
00:02:35,571 --> 00:02:38,116
I'll fight and protect this country to the end.

20
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:53,715
I have a brother.
I guess he's about your age.

21
00:02:54,799 --> 00:02:56,426
He's probably grown up big and strong.

22
00:02:56,634 --> 00:02:58,177
You haven't seen him?

23
00:03:00,596 --> 00:03:02,807
No. I can't go home yet.

24
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:05,810
Thank you.

25
00:03:10,481 --> 00:03:13,317
I'm Shourei Nouzen. Call me "Rei."

26
00:03:13,693 --> 00:03:15,486
Such a strange name...

27
00:03:16,112 --> 00:03:18,489
It's a rare name in this country.

28
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:20,533
You're not from the Republic?

29
00:03:20,825 --> 00:03:23,411
My brother and I were born here,

30
00:03:23,411 --> 00:03:25,538
but our parents were from the neighboring country.

31
00:03:25,913 --> 00:03:28,249
Do you know what the Empire of Giad is?

32
00:03:30,084 --> 00:03:32,754
The country that made the Legion...

33
00:03:34,714 --> 00:03:37,091
Aren't you scared to fight?

34
00:03:37,842 --> 00:03:38,885
I am.

35
00:03:39,635 --> 00:03:44,098
But if I don't fight, I can't survive.

36
00:03:45,641 --> 00:03:48,644
So I won't die. I can't.

37
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:54,150
I have to go back to my brother.

38
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,869
June 16th, Stellar Year 2148

39
00:04:05,286 --> 00:04:08,122
What is your brother doing now?

40
00:04:09,081 --> 00:04:10,291
He's dead.

41
00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:13,920
He died here on the eastern front,
five years ago.

42
00:04:14,462 --> 00:04:15,880
I'm sorry.

43
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,506
No, it's fine.

44
00:04:19,258 --> 00:04:23,221
Remember when you asked me if there was
something I wanted to do when I left the army?

45
00:04:23,221 --> 00:04:24,722
Y-Yes.

46
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:27,058
There isn't anything I want to do.

47
00:04:27,058 --> 00:04:29,894
But there's something I have to do.

48
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:35,191
I've been searching for him
for the past five years.

49
00:04:36,651 --> 00:04:38,444
You mean his body?

50
00:04:41,072 --> 00:04:41,989
No.

51
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:10,244
June 24th, Stellar Year 2148

52
00:06:13,122 --> 00:06:14,999
Morning, Lena.

53
00:06:17,626 --> 00:06:18,586
Morning.

54
00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:22,631
It's so good!

55
00:06:22,631 --> 00:06:23,883
I know, right?

56
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:27,011
The cream is artificial,
but the strawberries are real.

57
00:06:28,554 --> 00:06:29,805
Oh, right.

58
00:06:29,805 --> 00:06:32,641
Want to go look at party dresses next week?

59
00:06:32,641 --> 00:06:34,060
For the Revolution Festival.

60
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,103
It's that time already?

61
00:06:36,103 --> 00:06:38,981
Do I have to go, you think?

62
00:06:38,981 --> 00:06:40,691
Of course.

63
00:06:40,691 --> 00:06:44,779
All the good dressmakers will be
booked up if you don't act fast.

64
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,907
Sorry. I'm a little busy.

65
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:52,495
You haven't been around much lately, Lena.

66
00:06:54,622 --> 00:06:57,208
If you're looking for a dress,
why not ask a gentleman to go with you?

67
00:06:57,208 --> 00:06:59,627
I heard you met another prospective partner.

68
00:06:59,627 --> 00:07:01,796
Rudolph, right?

69
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:03,422
He was cute.

70
00:07:03,756 --> 00:07:05,549
You have something good to say about one?

71
00:07:05,549 --> 00:07:06,675
Does this mean it's finally—

72
00:07:06,675 --> 00:07:07,218
Not a chance.

73
00:07:07,885 --> 00:07:09,053
Because...

74
00:07:10,638 --> 00:07:12,097
He's 5.

75
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:16,894
I know they want my family's money,
but seriously?

76
00:07:16,894 --> 00:07:20,189
Why did you put up all the photos
from your past prospects?

77
00:07:20,189 --> 00:07:21,440
My team did it as a joke.

78
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,692
So I won't forget, they said.

79
00:07:24,985 --> 00:07:27,571
Lena, are you sure you're not tired?

80
00:07:27,571 --> 00:07:28,823
Your face is a mess.

81
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:30,407
Is it?

82
00:07:30,407 --> 00:07:32,493
You're overusing the Para-RAID.

83
00:07:32,493 --> 00:07:35,704
I told you that sharing
sensory data puts stress on the brain.

84
00:07:35,704 --> 00:07:39,041
I just happened to be up all night
analyzing combat data.

85
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:40,543
I know I've said this before,

86
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:44,547
but there's no point in doing
any favors for the Eighty-Six.

87
00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:51,762
So don't you think
it's okay to go to the party?
June 30th, Stellar Year 2148

88
00:07:51,762 --> 00:07:54,974
But what if there's a battle
during the party?

89
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:56,600
We'll be fine.

90
00:07:57,309 --> 00:07:59,770
Who puts on a party during wartime, anyway?

91
00:07:59,770 --> 00:08:03,524
Nothing that happens inside the walls
has any effect on us.

92
00:08:04,608 --> 00:08:07,027
We appreciate the analysis
of the enemies you provide,

93
00:08:07,403 --> 00:08:10,990
but it's not something that needs
to take up all your private time.

94
00:08:11,657 --> 00:08:15,286
Is my help unwanted, Captain Nouzen?

95
00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:19,915
No, analysis from a larger perspective
that encompasses the entire theater is valuable.

96
00:08:20,165 --> 00:08:24,587
Your estimates of enemy force composition
are accurate and of particular help.

97
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,297
Thank you.

98
00:08:27,047 --> 00:08:28,465
I'm glad.

99
00:08:28,465 --> 00:08:32,094
But you don't need
to spend all your time on it.

100
00:08:32,886 --> 00:08:37,182
Too much time focusing on the battlefield,
and you'll end up like me.

101
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:41,437
What kind of joke is that?

102
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:44,732
Understood.

103
00:08:44,732 --> 00:08:47,192
I'll go enjoy myself then.

104
00:08:47,568 --> 00:08:51,322
With the stupid party,
and the stuffy dress and high heels.

105
00:08:51,905 --> 00:08:53,324
The Revolution Festival?

106
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:55,075
Do you remember something about it?

107
00:08:55,492 --> 00:08:57,411
I think I saw fireworks.

108
00:08:57,703 --> 00:09:00,164
In a garden with a fountain,
in front of the palace.

109
00:09:01,373 --> 00:09:02,875
The palace?

110
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:05,753
Did you use to live in District 1?

111
00:09:05,753 --> 00:09:08,756
I don't really remember, but I believe so.

112
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:10,424
Oh, wow!

113
00:09:10,424 --> 00:09:12,426
I remember going with my brother.

114
00:09:12,801 --> 00:09:15,471
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...

115
00:09:15,596 --> 00:09:16,930
It's fine.

116
00:09:16,930 --> 00:09:20,768
I can't remember the faces
or voices of my family.

117
00:09:22,102 --> 00:09:25,689
He said you'd probably grown up
big and strong.

118
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:29,068
I could tell he really cared about you.

119
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:35,032
Your brother really wanted to go home
and be with you again.

120
00:09:35,949 --> 00:09:37,910
I hope that's right, but...

121
00:09:40,329 --> 00:09:44,541
Uh, Captain, you're supposed
to be on patrol, aren't you?

122
00:09:45,084 --> 00:09:46,543
Are you in your room?

123
00:09:47,002 --> 00:09:48,128
I apologize.

124
00:09:48,587 --> 00:09:54,676
Well, if you've decided it's not necessary,
I'll respect that, but...

125
00:09:54,676 --> 00:09:56,929
I thought you'd be angry.

126
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:58,722
Confirmed. We're ready to go at any time.

127
00:09:58,722 --> 00:10:00,265
Same with the Third Platoon.

128
00:10:00,265 --> 00:10:01,016
Roger.

129
00:10:01,391 --> 00:10:05,938
Captain Nouzen, how did you know
the Legion are coming?

130
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:09,399
If you weren't on patrol,
how could you find them so fast?

131
00:10:11,276 --> 00:10:14,446
Major, would you please cut your Para-RAID?

132
00:10:15,155 --> 00:10:17,074
There are a lot of Black Sheep this time.

133
00:10:17,491 --> 00:10:19,618
It's dangerous to remain synced with me.

134
00:10:19,618 --> 00:10:20,911
"Black Sheep"?

135
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:22,913
If you're curious, I'll explain later.

136
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:24,665
But cut the sync, please.

137
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:28,794
I can't know what's going on
without the Para-RAID.

138
00:10:28,794 --> 00:10:30,295
I'm not cutting it.

139
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:33,257
I warned you.

140
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:39,096
Undertaker, you're too far ahead!

141
00:10:39,096 --> 00:10:41,139
They'll surround you!
Mommy...

142
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,101
What?

143
00:10:46,270 --> 00:10:50,440
This isn't static.

144
00:10:53,402 --> 00:10:54,319
Mom.

145
00:10:54,319 --> 00:10:54,987
Help me.

146
00:10:56,613 --> 00:10:57,781
Help me.

147
00:10:58,407 --> 00:10:59,449
It's so hot.

148
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:03,412
No! No!

149
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:11,920
I'm cutting the link, Major!

150
00:11:13,088 --> 00:11:14,131
I don't want to die.

151
00:11:21,054 --> 00:11:22,306
Kaie?

152
00:11:30,814 --> 00:11:32,232
That voice...

153
00:11:41,283 --> 00:11:44,578
Mom... Mom... Mom...
It's so hot!

154
00:11:44,828 --> 00:11:45,412
Help me!

155
00:11:46,913 --> 00:11:50,667
Mom! Mom!
Help me!
Mom!
No!

156
00:11:51,084 --> 00:11:51,877
No!

157
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:55,380
Help me!

158
00:11:55,380 --> 00:11:55,964
No!

159
00:11:56,715 --> 00:11:57,799
No!

160
00:12:00,052 --> 00:12:01,386
I don't want to die!

161
00:12:19,863 --> 00:12:25,744
June 30th, Stellar Year 2148
Mom.
What? It's not static.

162
00:12:27,287 --> 00:12:28,413
Mom!

163
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:31,666
No! Help me! Help me!

164
00:12:34,294 --> 00:12:35,420
No!

165
00:12:36,254 --> 00:12:38,048
Are you okay?

166
00:12:39,549 --> 00:12:41,468
No!

167
00:12:45,889 --> 00:12:48,767
Major! Major Milizé!

168
00:13:00,862 --> 00:13:01,947
I'm cutting the link, Major!

169
00:13:02,447 --> 00:13:03,990
I don't want to die.

170
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:07,828
Damn. That's Kaie!

171
00:13:08,078 --> 00:13:11,414
How? Didn't you torch her
with her Juggernaut?

172
00:13:11,414 --> 00:13:12,165
Help me!

173
00:13:12,165 --> 00:13:13,708
They took her? Damn it!

174
00:13:14,251 --> 00:13:15,710
I don't want to die.

175
00:13:19,089 --> 00:13:20,382
Gunslinger.

176
00:13:21,091 --> 00:13:23,218
Heading 060, distance 800.

177
00:13:23,885 --> 00:13:26,680
The enemy's front rank,
the third Grauwolf from the right.

178
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:27,556
Roger.

179
00:13:27,556 --> 00:13:36,481
I don't want to die.
I don't want to die. I don't want to die.

180
00:13:38,567 --> 00:13:40,443
Target silenced.

181
00:13:50,662 --> 00:13:51,830
Good work today.

182
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:52,831
Thanks.

183
00:13:53,748 --> 00:13:57,085
Everybody was really
giving it their all today.

184
00:13:57,294 --> 00:13:59,170
They wanted revenge, huh?

185
00:13:59,170 --> 00:14:00,714
It's a nasty thing.

186
00:14:01,298 --> 00:14:04,801
But you know, I thought
they'd all pass out from exhaustion.

187
00:14:05,176 --> 00:14:06,845
Maybe they're all feeling lonely.

188
00:14:07,888 --> 00:14:10,056
At this time, normally...

189
00:14:13,393 --> 00:14:16,938
No Handler's ever called
after hearing those voices.

190
00:14:17,230 --> 00:14:19,941
No more report-writing for you, huh?

191
00:14:24,821 --> 00:14:27,908
Yes, it's fine, Major.

192
00:14:29,951 --> 00:14:31,703
I'm impressed.

193
00:14:34,789 --> 00:14:39,044
I'm sorry for losing control today.

194
00:14:39,044 --> 00:14:39,878
Not at all.

195
00:14:42,005 --> 00:14:43,006
Captain...

196
00:14:43,548 --> 00:14:46,051
Those voices I heard during the battle...

197
00:14:46,551 --> 00:14:48,136
What are they?

198
00:14:51,014 --> 00:14:54,225
Once, I almost died...

199
00:14:55,226 --> 00:14:59,397
Actually, I think I did die.

200
00:15:01,024 --> 00:15:02,400
So that's why I can hear them.

201
00:15:02,901 --> 00:15:08,156
The voices of the ghosts
who died as I did, but are still here.

202
00:15:08,156 --> 00:15:09,157
"Ghosts"?

203
00:15:09,699 --> 00:15:13,495
But there was just the Legion out there, right?

204
00:15:13,995 --> 00:15:16,498
I think they're ghosts, too.

205
00:15:17,082 --> 00:15:20,168
They're the army of a lost country,

206
00:15:20,168 --> 00:15:22,087
with no reason to exist
now that the Empire's gone.

207
00:15:23,713 --> 00:15:28,009
Yes, it's because I can hear them.

208
00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:30,220
When they come, I know.

209
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,514
I always hear them, even when I'm asleep.

210
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:36,851
Wait... "Always"?
Do you hear them now?

211
00:15:36,893 --> 00:15:39,479
How far away do they have to be?

212
00:15:39,938 --> 00:15:42,107
I don't know the exact distance,

213
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:46,528
but I'm aware of every Legion
past the former borders of the Republic.

214
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:49,656
Isn't it... painful?

215
00:15:51,908 --> 00:15:53,326
I'm used to it.

216
00:15:53,326 --> 00:15:55,120
It's been a long time since it started.

217
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,621
Since when?

218
00:15:57,288 --> 00:16:02,544
And did you hear Lieutenant Kaie Taniya's voice

219
00:16:03,169 --> 00:16:05,296
because she became a ghost as well?

220
00:16:06,631 --> 00:16:07,882
Captain?

221
00:16:09,801 --> 00:16:15,265
The Republic government predicts
the war will end in two years, right?

222
00:16:15,265 --> 00:16:16,891
How did you know?

223
00:16:16,891 --> 00:16:19,561
Theo heard from the commander
we told you about before.

224
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:25,358
The Legion has a timer.
In a little under two years, it'll run out.

225
00:16:25,358 --> 00:16:26,276
Right?

226
00:16:26,651 --> 00:16:27,652
Yes.

227
00:16:27,652 --> 00:16:31,322
The Legion's central processing unit
is modeled after a human brain.

228
00:16:31,322 --> 00:16:34,325
That design will cause it
to stop functioning in two years.

229
00:16:34,325 --> 00:16:36,286
If that design won't work,

230
00:16:36,619 --> 00:16:39,664
they just need to replace it
with another beforehand.

231
00:16:39,664 --> 00:16:42,959
Using materials that are readily available
on the battlefield where they live.

232
00:16:43,376 --> 00:16:44,377
You can't mean...

233
00:16:45,837 --> 00:16:47,463
Human brains.

234
00:16:50,466 --> 00:16:56,806
Their central nervous systems are more
advanced than other living creatures'.

235
00:16:57,098 --> 00:16:59,392
The Republic forbids the burial of Eighty-Six.

236
00:16:59,392 --> 00:17:02,020
The brains themselves rot,

237
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:05,398
and I've heard multiple Legion
with the same voice.

238
00:17:05,398 --> 00:17:08,193
So it's more likely a copy of the brain.

239
00:17:08,484 --> 00:17:09,319
Then...

240
00:17:09,652 --> 00:17:12,447
Kaie is probably out there still somewhere.

241
00:17:12,739 --> 00:17:15,950
So I don't think it's the same as
what you'd call a "soul."

242
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:21,206
The original human's mind isn't inside.
You can't communicate with it.

243
00:17:21,581 --> 00:17:26,169
It's just a fading echo of who they were—
their thoughts copied at the moment of death.

244
00:17:26,711 --> 00:17:29,047
Ghosts that haunt the Legion.

245
00:17:29,380 --> 00:17:31,674
And those are the Black Sheep?

246
00:17:32,133 --> 00:17:32,884
Yes.

247
00:17:33,551 --> 00:17:37,764
Black Sheep that hide among the white ones.

248
00:17:38,514 --> 00:17:42,185
Of course, the Black Sheep are more common now.

249
00:17:45,563 --> 00:17:50,193
Major, you're going to lose this war.

250
00:17:51,736 --> 00:17:53,363
What do you mean?

251
00:17:53,571 --> 00:17:58,368
The Legion with the new designs
won't shut down in two years.

252
00:17:58,868 --> 00:18:01,162
But what about the Eighty-Six?

253
00:18:01,537 --> 00:18:06,459
The only ones left are children,
and they're all already fighting.

254
00:18:09,212 --> 00:18:12,298
We'll all be dead soon.

255
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,551
When that happens, will you Alba fight,

256
00:18:16,219 --> 00:18:22,308
now that you've learned to push
the costs of the war onto someone else?

257
00:18:22,642 --> 00:18:24,310
Well...

258
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:25,561
You can't.

259
00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:29,148
But there are fewer Legion now!

260
00:18:29,148 --> 00:18:32,485
They're down to about half their number
compared to a few years ago.

261
00:18:32,485 --> 00:18:34,987
To the degree you can observe them, right?

262
00:18:36,239 --> 00:18:40,660
It's true that the amount of Legion
you can observe has decreased.

263
00:18:40,952 --> 00:18:45,415
But that's only because
there are more at the rear.

264
00:18:45,415 --> 00:18:48,126
They're conserving and building up their forces?

265
00:18:48,126 --> 00:18:51,170
That's not possible.
The Legion aren't that smart.

266
00:18:51,170 --> 00:18:54,549
Or so you thought.
That's the other reason you'll lose.

267
00:18:54,716 --> 00:18:55,883
What do you mean?

268
00:18:57,927 --> 00:19:02,432
The heads of the dead that the
Legion take are all badly damaged.

269
00:19:02,932 --> 00:19:07,728
But the Black Sheep are still better
at processing than the normal Legion.

270
00:19:09,105 --> 00:19:13,109
So what if they got an undamaged brain?

271
00:19:13,109 --> 00:19:14,652
Is that possible?

272
00:19:16,737 --> 00:19:23,035
A ghost commander,
who leads and guides the unthinking Legion.

273
00:19:23,035 --> 00:19:25,455
We call them Shepherds.

274
00:19:25,455 --> 00:19:30,376
And the armies they lead
are vastly more powerful than the others.

275
00:19:30,376 --> 00:19:34,881
Wait. This isn't a hypothesis?
They already exist?

276
00:19:35,131 --> 00:19:37,175
Can you hear their voices?

277
00:19:37,383 --> 00:19:38,759
I can.

278
00:19:39,427 --> 00:19:42,972
They're commanders. Their voices travel far.

279
00:19:44,849 --> 00:19:49,145
Yes. There's one at the rear
of Combat District 1.

280
00:19:51,439 --> 00:19:56,486
But the Republic will lose years from now,

281
00:19:56,486 --> 00:19:59,655
after you've all been wiped out, right?

282
00:20:00,656 --> 00:20:02,074
That's true.

283
00:20:02,074 --> 00:20:06,120
So we just need
to wipe out the Legion before then.

284
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:08,539
Let's fight. I'm with you—

285
00:20:10,917 --> 00:20:14,378
No, I'll just do my best.

286
00:20:14,378 --> 00:20:17,381
I'll analyze the enemy. Come up with plans.

287
00:20:17,381 --> 00:20:19,342
Anything I can do.

288
00:20:20,384 --> 00:20:22,136
Captain Nouzen...

289
00:20:22,136 --> 00:20:24,472
Your term of service is up this year, right?

290
00:20:24,472 --> 00:20:29,977
So let's win before then, and both survive.

291
00:20:31,604 --> 00:20:32,855
Yes...

292
00:20:34,023 --> 00:20:35,775
Can we call it a night?

293
00:20:35,775 --> 00:20:37,360
It's lights-out here.

294
00:20:37,735 --> 00:20:39,946
Sorry for keeping you up late.

295
00:20:41,197 --> 00:20:42,531
Goodnight.

296
00:21:47,596 --> 00:21:48,889
It's your fault!

297
00:21:55,354 --> 00:21:56,731
I'll be going soon,

298
00:21:57,857 --> 00:21:58,816
Brother.

299
00:22:01,986 --> 00:22:03,279
"Through to the End."
