Original subtitles

Scotch?

Sorry. It's Bourbon.

You okay?

It's been some time since they took your id.

I'm surprisingly feeling fine.

Anyway, are you really okay with having the Noir of the Immortal Nine here?

I am your target, no?

You saved us.

Besides, Jean doesn't order me to eliminate you.

I see.

There's no turning back.

I've decided to see through all this for Noid.

But they're waiting for you on Venus, right?

Are you sure you want to go there nonchalantly?

Who do you think I am?

No way I'm going to Venus guns blazing without a gun.

We have a report.

Lady Cyan has disappeared.

Huh?

We took our eyes off for a second, and she escaped,

with her current whereabouts unknown.

Please forgive our incompetence.

Hey, that explosive girl might cause trouble if she runs amok again!

Where did she run off to?

Must be somewhere.

Never mind her, take a look at this!

With this, I'll have double the power than Rouge!

You're in for a surprise with this ultimate weapon we have!

What?

Whaaat?!

Sis!

METALLIC ROUGE

You threw it away?!

You threw away that Anti-Phaser into the sea?!

It was in the way of concealing my person.

So, what's that Anti-something?

It can analyse the frequency let out by an active Gladiator,

and then...

In short, it's the phase reversing thing,

when you were going against each other, or something.

Thanks for the explanation.

But you didn't have to throw it away.

I didn't know it was that important.

What is your goal in coming here?

I want to be with my sister.

Huh?

Was she not like this before?

What are you scheming?

What do you mean?

You weren't like this before, right?

You were trying to kill Rouge.

I was not.

I just wanted to play with Rouge.

Huh? You call that playing?

I heard a voice.

Destroy Metal Rouge.

When I hear that voice, I feel like I have to do it.

Whose voice?

The one who created you?

It's not my masked father.

So the puppeteer created you.

So her wanting to play with you...

...was her initial drive, I guess?

The voice might actually come back.

Doesn't every Nean hear that voice?

You hear that too sometimes, right?

Nope.

Hang on, you're a Nean?

Oh, you didn't know?

No way!

First is quite a clandestine one, after all.

Don't call me that!

What do you mean First?

Naomi's real name.

It's not!

Back off from Rouge!

No.

We can't afford to have her here long!

What do we do?

Yeah, let's go with the cold equation.

You want to throw her out to the space? Now that's cruel.

She's a better Gladiator than Rouge.

We can't contain her once she runs amok, right?

Better? In which part?

She could tell in an instant that I am a Nean.

Your insensitivity for not realising it even though I was always next to you...

...must've been improved for her, am I right?

Beat it, First.

I told you, stop calling me that!

Does this ship have an escape pod?

Then we push her inside with a snap!

Wow, we have a cruel lady here, Miss First.

We can't know when she will hear the voice again!

But then...

No.

I won't... I won't!

H-Hey...

I don't want to!

- No way! - That's quite the rebellion.

Stop it!

You're putting us in danger!

Let's play together.

Huh?

Really?

Yeah.

Yay!

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Right this way.

We Altar have secured this area,

and the Neans forced to do labour here...

...have been relocated to a temporary safe shelter.

You're well aware of what happens when you disable the Azimov Code,

aren't you?

Revolution. Freeing the enslaved.

These have already happened in many occasions in human history.

There are things one can only solve with extreme measures.

Everyone has arrived.

Thank you for coming so far...

...to attend my humble event. I truly appreciate it.

It's our event, not yours.

Mister Puppeteer.

I thought you were an Usurper agent,

but it seems like you're human.

Why are you helping them?

I am but a humble entertainer.

The Usurpers are mere sponsors of mine.

They wish to see the stage set by yours truly.

We possess the same dream in our chests.

What about you and the Visitors?

Are you able to have mutual thoughts?

Dinner has been prepared.

This way, please.

This is Sis, me, and Dad.

And this is our family home.

Sis and I go to school from here every day.

That's me?

Your dad's way too mysterious here.

What does he do for a living?

A pancake store owner!

Wow!

This must be one of those learning comics where you can't judge the profession by their look.

Sis and I would eat Dad's pancakes...

Then we'd dance, and sing, and play together on holidays.

So it was a horror comic...

Do you like drawing?

I can become anything in my drawings! It's filled with freedom!

Freedom...

But, calling her your sister is a bit weird, no?

Huh?

I mean, Professor Eva made Rouge,

and that puppeteer made you, right?

It's not weird.

Dad said Rouge is my sister.

If you were made based on Rouge's data,

strictly speaking, you're just her copy, eh.

She's my sister!

In other words, a clone!

At the very least, she's not your sister.

First is the annoying old lady next door!

Hey!

Sheesh...

What is this place?

Do you like it? Takes you back, no?

It was meant to replicate our old house as children.

Is that everyone's ids?

Yes. It would be better if all the family is here, right?

Family?

But I'm a prisoner.

Soon the Neans will reign supreme.

When that happens, with you as their Messiah,

you will lead the humans.

Without being able to resist us.

It is a role only you can carry,

since you are part of the family.

You're overselling my ability.

You have what it takes. I'm pretty sure you're aware of it.

Let's save the complicated matter for later.

Say, do you remember?

Back when we went to the lake together.

That time when Jaron said he wanted to drive.

That was awful. I thought I was going to die.

He's been crazy ever since.

I am honoured by your praise.

Eva bought us Broma Chocolates on the way to the lake, right?

You split one in half and gave the bigger part to me.

I've been in love with this chocolate since then.

I don't remember.

Do you remember that moment?

When Jean and I said to Verde that we wanted to ride a boat,

she said, "No thanks, my book will get soaked."

That's so Verde.

She was a bookworm.

Achilles was quite a snob and fashionable one, right?

Yes. She even used an umbrella even though she didn't need it.

Nius was good at swimming,

and he roamed around the water like a dolphin.

And to add, Viola would sing us a song too.

The vacation spent with family...

The best memory ever.

I wish Eden were here too.

Is he still alive?

He's got her id pulled out of him, so he must be dying a dog's death.

I wonder about that.

Jaron!

Thanks to you using your discretion to your beloved one,

he's still barely alive.

Stop.

Ah, but, his memories of the loving family will soon fade away,

and also will the rest of his memories,

then, boom, the end.

I told you to cut it out.

My apologies.

Thanks for the shitty reminiscing talk.

Get in.

Nope.

Get in the bath.

Not a chance.

I am telling you to get yourself clean!

What are you being so stubborn for?!

Rouge isn't coming with me.

I already did this morning.

After being punched by Naomi.

It's just you now.

You won't die just because you don't shower.

Yes, you will!

If you get some weird virus and spread it around,

that old man is going to die!

Me?

Humans can die by disease, you know?

You sure about that?

I'm busy right now, so I'll do it later.

I hereby use my authority as the head of Department of Divinities to force you!

No way!

Don't run!

Rouge, get her!

What?

Save me, Sis!

Oh, right!

I saw ice cream in the pantry.

What?

That must be a delicacy.

The freezing ice cream would be the perfect food after bath.

What flavour?

A double stack of vanilla and chocolate.

I'm going in.

I see you're used to handling kids, eh?

I used to be a parent, after all.

So you had a kid?

Haven't seen the kid since I got divorced.

Whenever I saw Noid, it reminded me of my son.

So I always tried to not get involved too deep with him.

I wish I could speak with him more now.

Spending time with him outside work, doing nothing.

You're only aware they were precious...

...once they're gone.

That might be true.

I also had them... a family of sorts.

Do you mean the Immortal Nine?

Immortal?

Yeah...

They are also like a family.

But they are a lot more precious than those people...

Your lover?

For real? Is she a Nean?

My beloved.

That's all there is to it.

If you think of them as a family,

then why are you siding with us?

Regret, I guess?

Just like you.

I'm trying to fulfill the wish of someone I loved.

That's the least I can do to make up for my sins.

#10 FAMILY PORTRAIT

Can't sleep?

Nah.

Everyone's talking about family or that precious someone...

They sure do have memories with them.

Not all memories are pretty.

Well, duh.

But seeing that I can never obtain such things...

I can't help but feel jealous.

Gosh, I'm on my break, dang it...

If we go in a straight way, they'll intercept us, and it's game over.

Even if we get lucky and can land on Venus, we still have problems.

Sis.

Let's play.

Cyan, I'm having a serious discussion with Rouge now, so hush.

You're the one who should hush.

Stop getting in my way of me playing with Sis.

Had you not thrown away that Anti-Phaser,

things would be easier! Got it?!

Now, now...

What should we play?

So we can play?

We'll just go bang and boom like always.

All's well that ends well, as usual.

Rouge, are you really prepared?

This fight is different from our previous ones.

No room for errors at all.

Don't you want to get Jean back?

That's what we're going to Venus for, right?

No.

That's not all.

I'll stop whatever Sylvia and the others are trying to do.

I'll protect humanity and Nean freedom.

I'll accomplish the wishes of my precious ones.

So you're actually prepared.

Then, this is no time for games.

Who's Jean?

Rouge's real family.

Her real brother.

Huh?

Rouge's real brother? Does that make him...

...my brother as well?

Yeah, yeah.

Just go play with yourself in the corner.

I hate you.

I hate you, Naomi.

I despise you, Naomi!

No!

Naomi...

Oww...

I'll definitely punish her with the cold equation.

Did you hear someone's voice back there?

Then you're on the wrong here.

Don't just hurt someone just because you hate them.

Also, even if you hear someone's voice inside,

it's up to you whether to obey.

You can decide for yourself.

For myself?

Yeah. Can you do that?

I'll try.

All right.

I'll become your true sister.

Can I?

Just like Jean did to me,

I'll become your true sister.

What about Naomi?

Huh?

What's she to you?

You two get along well, so I'm kind of jealous.

Naomi?

Naomi...

What's her relationship with you?

She's the best stranger?

What do you mean?

Well...

She can be annoying, but I'm fine sticking with her forever.

Naomi sure is the best stranger to have around.

What's wrong?

I don't know why...

But I can't remember the path from here.

Then, let's take it again from the top.

I can't remember.

I remember.

The moment I rode on the boat with you.

It was a fun vacation.

Back then, you looked like the same age as me.

It felt like I made a friend. I was so happy.

Me too.

I can't believe you're taking part in this scheme.

I am against it.

It is Aes the bonehead with loose screws who's on board with this.

I mean, what choice do we have?

It's so that the Proto Neans can survive.

So that the Proto Neans can survive...

Are you trying to kill me with that creepy statement?

If we had a different body, I would've done so with my hands.

Aes.

Do you think this will become a fun memory someday?

What is that?

Fate will bring the souls to their most suitable places,

and become the key to unlocking the future.

Is what they obtained freedom?

Or rather...

Is he extracting data from the ids?

The final guests have arrived.

Rouge...

Shortly, our greatest performance will commence.

Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy our show till the end!

Multiple flying objects detected...

...at 12 o'clock direction.

Distance, 17,000.

Lock-on confirmed.
