Uninstall.

Back then, the greatest shock to our reality...

was that our lives were so primitive and simplistic, it was laughing in our faces.

Even covering my ears, the truth slipped through my fingers and left me confused.

Where in my frail body am I supposed to hold the strength to stand?

Uninstall. Uninstall.

Right now, I can't even begin to understand...

how the countless lives on this planet are essentially one.

Uninstall. Uninstall.

It looks like I'll have no choice but to act as a soldier who knows no fear.

Uninstall.

Uninstall.

You kids want to play a game?

A game?

Lets try firing at this thing!

The mountain...

was vaporized!

Well, let's hurry back before we're found out!

You're embarrassing us.

I didn't push him off!

Believe me!

What the hell are you staring at?!

Lives are constantly being created, only to be discarded soon after.

Waku was one human like that.

After seeing his father, I could tell.

Strength

I'm Kodaka, and I'm here to see my father.

Just a moment, please.

Kodaka-sama has just arrived in the first floor lobby.

Yes. I understand.

Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come this way.

The president is in a meeting, so please wait here until its finished.

At any rate, we have to land this deal before we lose the chance to get sanctioned!

Call the chairman right away!

Wait a second, Pops!

What is it?

If we make a public bid for that land on Mount Tsujimi now, the people will turn against us!

Yes, and...?

Because of that behemoth, society is in a state of chaos!

Taking our business to that sliced-up mountain at a time like this...!

What are you talking about?

A restoration of that devastated land is just what society needs right now.

How can you call the construction of a golf course a "restoration"?!

It's so nice and flat now.

It'd be such a waste to leave it barren and empty like that.

Mother Nature once loved that mountain.

At the very least, turn it into a haven where the community can go to relax!

That's not profitable!

You'll do whatever you want as long as you make a profit?!

What's wrong with a realtor investing in land?

I can't put up with this any longer!

Hey, Shinichi! You're the senior director of this corporation, you know!

Honestly, he just doesn't get it.

Oh, Masaru, nice of you to come today.

Yeah.

Just hang on a little longer. I'll get you something to eat afterwards.

Tsujimoto! Make sure this project gets off the ground!

But the senior director...!

He doesn't understand a thing.

Does he think ideas like that will keep food on his employees' tables? The fool.

My brother hates my father.

His reason is simple.

Dads an upstart general contractor who only thinks of winning.

He always rudely looks down on people, and he's stingy.

If he wants something, he'll do whatever it takes to get it.

What's the meaning of this?

Y-Yes, sir.

The other party increased costs by 12%, so I thought I should get your opinion on the matter, sir...

You fool! That has nothing to do with us!

I'm terribly sorry!

Close the deal at the original terms!

I won't settle for anything less!

Yes, sir.

And that's why my brother hates him.

I think it's fairly natural to feel that way.

Do you understand? Land the deal!

I don't care what you have to do!

But I respect my dad.

Because he's one of the chosen, he can do whatever he wants.

And Dad isn't a stupid man.

Calculations and logic lie behind every word he says that rubs someone the wrong way.

Masaru.

You saw that monster, I heard?

Yeah.

And?

I like it.

I see. I guess you would.

I can understand how my brother feels.

But if he doesn't like it here, he should quit.

Oh, it's an honor, sir.

Yes. Actually, there are some things I'd like to discuss regarding the Mount Tsujimi proposal.

Yes, of course. We are prepared to offer proper compensation.

Yes.

Oh, not at all.

However, since my brother can't do what my father does, he's a loser.

But I'm different.

I want to be like Dad.

I want to become a chosen man like him.

And now...

I'm riding in Zearth.

So Kodama's here, too.

I see... so you're the next pilot.

Does that mean the enemy's here already?

Don't you think it's a little early?

Dung Beetle's not here.

You were sitting in your chair thinking about Zearth too, weren't you?

Huh? Yeah...

It looks like we get transferred here when that happens, using the chair as an intermediary.

Back to what we were talking about, I'm against leaving Ushiro-kun and Kana-chan together.

Me, too! He's always hitting her.

Well, it's true that his angry personality is a problem.

People like him really piss me off!

Next time I see him, I'm gonna let him have it!

I don't really see the problem.

I actually sort of admire him.

Don't you see? Regardless of the details, he's directly related to Waku's death.

Whether it was intentional or by accident, he has experience with murdering someone.

That'll probably become as familiar to us as the food we eat every day.

Quit talking like that...

You might even be worse than Ushiro.

What the hell are you doing?!

How many times have I told you not to fire at living things?!

Dad!

What are you doing, Masaru? Hurry up and get in the car.

Masaru was firing at a cat again.

It's better for boys to have that kind of spirit.

You must be joking.

Come on. We're going to be late.

Hurry and get in.

Did it really appear from the sky?

I can't believe it.

Even our satellites show it that way.

Are you sure this isn't a scheme by the United States?

It was caught by China's satellites as well.

The problem is where it's coming from.

China, I bet. Things like this are always coming from those people.

Who can tell?

Then is it America?

No, actually, our scope includes natures extraterrestrial in origin.

Is the prime minister suggesting that as well?

We're gathering opinions from the people most informed on this matter.

We've also requested the help of the Cognitive Robotics Research Institute for the operation.

Couldn't it be a corporation's new unmanned weapon?

Do you really think we have time to debate the authorization of the use of artillery against it?

We're not currently considering artillery.

Anyway, I'm of the opinion that you should leave this to those in charge of national defense.

I'd like you to expedite the legal formalities necessary for the mobilization of the National Defense Force.

Yes. That will be taken care of shortly.

Won't there be some resistance from the opposing party?

Diet Member Komoda Kouichi is taking all questions and dealing with any opposition.

What? Komoda?

You mean that stubborn old man who's been called the opposing party's Unmovable Steel Wall?

What's gotten into him?

Most of the loose ends have already been taken care of.

I have no problem with preparing for this...

but before there's further chaos, do you think it's possible to contact it?

I don't care if it's alien or not.

Is there a way to first proceed with diplomatic negotiations?

We are of course already making that our top priority.

Bokurano.

The reason there's such an overflow of life on Earth...

is so we'll be okay even if a lot of us die off.

There are two types of lives.

Those that end, and those chosen to keep living.

I will become one of the chosen.

It's showtime, punks.

Dung Beetle! Don't bring us here without warning!

It can be inconvenient, you know!

Sorry 'bout that.

Ah, Dung Beetle! Look at this!

It was part of Dad's precious collection, too...

When you go back, I'll reconnect it for you.

Here it comes.

Kodama! Don't move so carelessly!

You're crushing houses and buildings!

I really couldn't care less.

Hey! What the heck are you saying?!

If they die, that's just their destiny.

You're terrible.

We have to hurry and get away from here!

But where can we go?!

This is awful...

Oh man, all this excitement is giving me chills.

I'm directly involved in death!

It's heading this way!

Run!

Mommy, where are you?

Kodama!

Stop it already!

No. After all, the more I destroy, the more business Dad gets.

What are you talking about?

Give it a rest!

And this is to save ten billion lives.

What do 10,000 lives mean when compared to that?

You're wrong! Every life should be treated with care!

Of course I care about every life.

But you should only care for others after you've cared for yourself, right?

This really is turning into something else.

Something seems off.

What does?

Doesn't it look like the other robot's being careful not to destroy the city?

It got us!

Kodama! You're crushing the houses!

Are you telling me to fight without moving?!

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me.

What are you doing?

It's because you all keep complaining!

Kodama, we'll be in trouble if it gets our legs.

It got us!

We're falling!

Don't panic. This cockpit was made so you'd all float.

Damn it!

Kodama!

I'm... I'm...

I'm...

Pull yourself together!

I'm one of the chosen, damn it!

Nice! You used the strength from us falling over.

Dad...?

He must've died instantly.

This isn't looking good.

Kodama! Hurry and finish it off!

There's no way Dad could've died...

There's no way Dad could've died.

Stop babbling! Hurry and finish it off!

I know!

This isn't... this isn't the sort of thing a hero would do.

Beautiful.

There's no way Dad could've died...

Because no matter what happened, Dad seemed like a man who would always survive.

He was always so energetic and proud, and never seemed like he'd ever die.

He was overflowing with life...

Because Dad was a chosen man!

Kodama!

Kodama, what's wrong?

Kodama!

Kodama-kun!

He's dead.

No way!

Why?

You're kidding, right?

Hey! Kodama-kun!

Oh, didn't I tell you guys?

Tell us what?

This thing moves by using peoples life forces.

So, you see...

That pretty much means you're absolutely gonna die after your battles.

Someone lay a branch beneath the baby bird's feet...

as a guidepost, so it won't get lost on the other side of the river.

Don't think that what you see here is everything there is to the world.

I watch your smiling profile as you gather the unripened blue berries.

I know they'll be bitter, yet your small wings shine brightly as you carry them.

Because you were born, you thought you were perfect.

You tried to fly off, but I held you back.
