Even if you love me, even if you hate me, I won't change I'm just a flower

won't

forget your voice either

Thank you for watching!

So what are you picking up? Supplies for the Spearhead Squadron in Combat

District 1, is that right?

Tell me, Major, what's important enough to warrant a crate like that?

Specialty ammunition.

Why don't you try being honest with me?

Specialty ammunition, sir.

Good afternoon, Major.

Will you be dropping by for the festivities?

ID confirmation.

Major Vladeleina Milize.

Eastern Theater, Combat District 1. Defense Unit 1 Command and Control

Activating. Pararade.

Synchro target.

Spearhead unit. Processor.

We don't really need you for anything.

Not a whole lot changes for us if we don't have a control officer.

Lieutenant Kukumila. Listening to you trying not to lose it when you're not

here is more distracting than anything.

They really don't bother you and the others?

Oh, boy then.

It hurts!

Hey,

you're okay.

Be careful now.

You silly boy.

Even without Shin, processors have to listen to the screams of it dying all

time.

And dying instantly when your juggernaut explodes is one of the better ways to

go. We've seen our friends get blown up, their faces ripped to shreds, their

bodies burned all over, or their stomachs ripped open with their guts

out. We hear them cry and scream in agony as they die. It's every day for

Compared to that, the voices of the long dead are hardly worth noting.

Any of us could die at any time.

This is our normal.

Greetings to you all, and a very good evening.

I hear loud and clear, Major.

I'm sorry, it's just us guys here tonight.

Lieutenant Suga?

Um, is everything all right with Captain No then?

Don't tell me something happened in the battle today. No, no, he's just

sleeping. He says he's tired.

Oh, I see.

Even he needs rest sometimes.

I... well, none of us can really say for sure, but... It's probably exhausting,

never getting a break from all that.

From the voices of the Legion.

It's not something that you can do anything about from far away.

We just get tired sometimes, being out here and all.

Yeah.

Lieutenant Suga?

This unit has been tasked with defending our nation's most important stronghold.

It should be the first in line to receive reinforcements.

Until then, I'll continue to request assistance from the surrounding units.

So please, hang in there a bit longer.

You decided to overstep the entire chain of command and complain directly to me,

Major Millizet?

General, I can't wait any longer for Spearhead to receive replacements.

waited for too long.

Their situation has grown so dire at this point, I'd do anything to help

Even come crawling to you to beg for whatever assistance you had to offer.

I've reached out to every department for help, but they... The resupply and

replacement plans for the Eastern Theater are not only settled, but

and underway.

I have already informed the relevant parties of your assortment of requests.

There's still internal matters, so you wouldn't be privy to that. You really

that? We're finally getting supplies?

So try to focus on doing your duty as best you can.

Have you prepared at all for the Revolution Festival Party?

Be sure to attend the party in a proper evening gown. Besting such battlefields

is the duty of a daughter of the Millizé family, is it not?

Understood.

Okay, Lena.

Tell me why you thought that dress was a good choice.

It's all black.

You look like you're in mourning.

Perfect, isn't it?

Not one person has asked me to dance tonight.

Look, I'm not about to try to convince you that this party isn't stupid and

boring. But that doesn't mean there's any shame in looking nice.

Well, I think this looks nice enough for me.

Yeah, I think you're missing the... What's wrong?

Remember the marriage candidate who sent me all those fancy sweets? He's right

over there.

I gotta go, Lena.

Major.

Captain Knowthen?

Is something wrong?

Is it the Legion?

No. You didn't call at the usual time, so I thought I might check in.

Is everything okay?

If you're busy, I can... I'll contact you another time.

You're fine, don't worry.

Sorry I'm late. I suppose this is about when I typically call, isn't it?

Is everything okay?

I wanted to let you know that the special ammunition arrived.

Sounds like it got there safely.

Yes. Thank you for the fireworks.

I thought it'd be nostalgic.

I mean, you saw Revolution Day fireworks with your family. I hope they bring

back good memories for the whole squad.

It's a Revolution Festival tradition, huh?

Can you see the fireworks at the Palace Lunae from where you are?

I can see them.

Not well, though. The sky's too bright.

I'm sure the fireworks are beautiful where you are.

Your nights are so dark, and the air must be so crisp and clean.

I wish we could be watching them too.

Someday, let's all watch the fireworks in District 1 together.

They'll probably make you laugh.

I don't remember them being all that bad.

Then come see for yourself.

When the war is over, when you leave the army, we can all watch them together.

I wish Lieutenant Irma and the others could have seen them too.

Sorry, my timing was bad again, huh?

No. This is the first time we've sent someone off with a proper gun salute.

I'm sure they'd be happy about that.

They never liked the mushy stuff anyway.

I see.

And... Audrey was finally able to cry just a bit ago.

She's always been the type to keep things to herself, so... Seeing that

lot.

She will never forget Lieutenant Irma.

None of us will.

You made sure to remember my brother, too.

That made me happy.

Because I wasn't able to remember him myself.

Captain, no then.

Will you... Will you remember us, too, Major?

Of course I will.

Before that, I won't let you die.

I won't let anyone else die.

Hey, 86, this one too.

Apparently your master wanted to send you a little pat on the head.

God damn.

If humans are sending pigs presents, the world really has gone to shit.

How'd you manage to get her to sign off, beg?

Extra shipment, my ass.

We've got a festival to attend.

What's that?

What's up, Shin?

What's in the box?

Fireworks? Ton of them, too. From the Major?

Hell yeah!

Hey, Anju?

Um, yes?

I was wondering if...

Maybe it'd be okay if we told her.

She's sending us, like, presents and stuff now.

Are you worried about her?

Not at all! Why would I worry about her?

It's just, you know, if Shin and the voices didn't scare her off, then maybe

it'd be okay if we told her the truth about that.

That's all.

Hmm?

Shin, Raiden, and the others?

Nobody wants to be the one to actually say anything about it.

But if we did tell her, she'd definitely stop calling.

And that'd probably be the best for all of us.

Perhaps.

I can't help but wonder if maybe Kaie was right when she warned her.

That she's not a bad person and shouldn't get involved with us?

I'm fairly certain that's why Shin and Raiden can't bring themselves to tell

her.

They think that it would hurt her too much, even if it is the truth.

Anju, are you all right?

Why do you ask?

I mean, I know you've never really liked to take showers with anybody else.

I think it's okay now, honestly.

It's just the two of us.

There's no need to hide it.

You know, Daya told me that I have pretty hair when we first met.

He obviously knew that I was growing my hair out to cover it up.

But he asked me if I'd grew it out because it looked good long.

That was our Dia.

But Dia's gone now.

So I think it's silly to keep worrying about it.

But are you doing okay, Corina? Do you want to tell her?

No.

I don't think that I have the right to be the one who tells her.

Even if we die, someone will carry us along.

Our very own Reaper.

I know for sure that he'll carry me along.

But... But then, what about Shin?

Who will be there to carry his heart?

Undertaker. Report.

All personnel are ready to begin the attack on the Legion forward base.

Remember, everyone, the base is only bait. Watch out for ambushers in the

surrounding area.

Once we've managed to lure them out of their holes, two teams from the 4th

Platoon will stage a pincer attack.

Point is 120 clicks east -northeast.

Estimated speed at launch is 4 ,000 meters per second.

It's an ultra -long -range artillery cannon. One we've never seen before.

I'm calling off the mission.

Retreat, please!

Retreat!

Roger.

Looks like we finally got those bastards off our tail.

I... I'll get you more personnel.

I'll make it happen today.

Major.

This doesn't make any sense. The general said that they already had a plan to

bring in replacements. Major Millivay.

Is it okay if I tell her?

Yeah.

Tell me what?

Major. You can stop.

There's nothing you can do. It won't change a thing for us. Captain Nozen,

are you saying?

Help isn't coming. No replacements. Not one.

We're here to be wiped out.

This entire unit's a hangman's gallows.

I... I don't understand. Those replacements you were talking about.

Are nothing more than the processors that will come after us.

What she means is after we're dead.

Funny enough, we just got a shipment of some brand new juggernauts.

Those are for them.

The thing is, those white pigs don't intend to ever let a single 86 out of

86 district alive.

They get us to sign up by waving that pretty five years and you're out promise

around to draw us in. Then they throw us on the battlefield to slaughter us.

Those bastards.

Goddamn white... pig that's impossible the vast majority of processors die

before their term is up doesn't matter what you promise at the end of the term

if no one ever makes it only problem is the guys like us who get thrown into the

meat grinder and against all odds managed to survive for years the fact

we've made it this far means we're smart and the other 86 all look up to us as

heroes and those pigs can't have us leading a rebellion now can they so

worth following gets shipped off to the worst of the fighting In the hopes that

they might catch a bullet.

And if somehow fighting through the depths of hell doesn't kill them, they

up right here.

Combat District 1, Unit 1, Spearhead Squad.

That's the whole point of this place. To make soldiers fight till they're dead.

This is the last place we'll ever serve.

Every single one of us will die here.

And once the last one of us is dead, the replacements will show up. And the next

group will be awaiting their execution.

Did you all know?

Yes. I'm sorry.

For how long?

From the very start.

Not one person who went to war, not my sister or my friends or anybody else I

knew ever actually came back.

And it's not like they were going to let us out of the camps anyway.

We all know better than to trust any promise from a white pig.

We knew it was a lie from the very beginning.

If you knew...

Why did you fight?

Why not run or even try to get revenge on the Republic for all they've done to

you? Honestly, revenge might have been the easiest option of all. We'd just

to sit back and let the Legion on through to do their thing.

They'd kill us too, of course.

But it would be worth it to take the white pigs down to hell with us.

Then why?

Until I was 12 years old, an Alba woman in District 9 was looking after me.

Shin's got a similar story. He was raised by an Alba priest who refused to

up his land and got sent to the camps.

And you already heard the story about Theo's captain.

Kurena knows the absolute worst the Alba have to offer.

Hell, we all know how awful the white pigs can be, but... Then there are

situations like Hayashi. She was abused by other 86 for nothing more than her

skin color.

Anju, Haruto, and Shin all have white pig... Imperial blood, they've dealt

the same.

There are some real scum among the 86.

But even then, there were a whole lot of proud 86 out there.

Ones who fought to the very end, with their heads held high.

Even if most of the Alba are assholes, some of you said there was no reason to

send us marching straight to our deaths. And we've already told you that not all

86 are good either.

If nothing else, that was one choice we had.

We could decide which we wanted to be.

Even if scum treats you like scum, if you do the same to them, you're scum

If the only two paths are to die fighting the Legion, or to die having

completely, we'll survive to the last moment and go down fighting.

That's the reason we fight.

That's the source of our pride.

If we protect a few white pigs in the process, well, that's not ideal.

But I guess that's fine.

Is there anybody stupid enough to hang themselves because they know they'll die

tomorrow?

Even if you know you're going to the gallows, you can still choose how you're

going to climb up there.

And all of us, we've made our choice.

All we have to do now is survive.

Okay.

Let's go.
