Original subtitles

Get ready, fly out, keep an open mind.

We're going to rust together to the end.

A composed movie star, and a gorgeous rock star

We'll blow them both away.

We're modern strange cowboys.

Are you ready for the action?

There's nothing blocking our path.

Do you have any function?

Go way back to the fire!

Insanity can't be expressed in words!

You can't ignore my will!

Don't sugar-coat your words.

Let me feel your feverish body!

Live for the moment, cowboy!

So that the newly sprouted flowers won't be scattered by the wind!

Live on, cowboy!

Keep on running, cowboy!

In A.D. 200X,

World War 3 began.

All of Earth's cities, including Tokyo, became the targets of bombings,

and were bathed in frightful red flames.

Half a century has passed since then.

The contaminated former epicenter is still isolated from the city,

creating a hole in the night scene of Japan...

It is commonly known as the Black Spot.

Adam Blade

Year 2130 - Japan

Don't hesitate.

Even if they're Needless, we can take them out with a head shot!

It's been a while,

resistance members.

That's... psychokinesis!

Damn!

It's magic!

Fourth Wave!

Looks like you've cleaned up over here as well.

Those siblings are the only ones left.

Weaklings such as them are truly pitiful.

Why?

We had so many comrades.

Cruz!

Nee-san!

Hurry up!

It's going to catch up!

Cruz!

It's over.

It was a trap.

There were so many of us, but we didn't even stand a chance...

It's over.

Idiot!

Are you going to die here?!

Needless Exterminator Testament

You escape from here.

But what about you, Nee-san?

I'll be fine. I have the Power.

I have the fragment.

Go, Cruz!

Nee-san!

Heat Explosion!

Heat Explosion

Nee-san!

Nee-san...

God!

Father?

I take it you're a Needless, since that thing is chasing you?

No...

What?

Father!

Amazing.

He stopped a Testament.

Run, boy!

Normal humans can't do anything like this after all...

That thing is a new model, specifically designed to exterminate Needless.

We don't stand a chance against it.

Boy, stop!

I've been waiting for you to take that out!

Take this!

Father!

Is it true that Blade came back?

Yeah.

It seems he was rescued after being seriously injured.

I see.

Well, who cares?

I'm coming home shortly.

Oh, you've woken up, Blade?

Gido...

You really gave me a shock,

being dragged here with those injuries.

That boy...

Was he really just a priest?

He took that Testament out of commission,

destroying its armor with a kamikaze attack.

But then he collapsed with grave injuries.

He was able to fight against the Testaments, who Nee-san couldn't even scratch...

Nee-san...

Nee-san...

Father!

Have you already recovered?

Don't worry about it.

But you were bleeding so much!

Good job.

You brought me here.

Uh... Not really...

Damn, it was none of your business.

Huh?

Yahoo.

Eve.

Yeah!

Blade!

Sparkling!

Ouch!

Are you fucking blind!?

I should be asking you that!

This is awful! Who could have done such a thing!?

You did. Pay attention...

Nee-san?

A dream...?

Who are you calling "Nee-san?"

Cut it out.

Geez.

You guys are so noisy.

Oh, Gido!

Allow me to introduce everyone.

I'm Blade.

This is the scientist, Gido.

He's been taking care of us for a while now.

And this is...

I'm Eve Neuschwanstein.

It's long, so you can just call me Eve Neuschwanstein-sama...

That makes it longer.

And what would your name be?

Cruz...

Cruz Schild.

All right, I'll shorten it to Yamada!

Yamada...

Yamada

I think you should step out for a bit.

Why were you being chased by a Testament?

I was with the group that attacked the head of Simeon.

Shimeji?

Shimeji Shimeon

It's Simeon!

It's a pharmaceutical company that has gained influence over these past few years.

They built their headquarters in the center of the Black Spot.

As for the their head...

Adam Arclight...

Arclight-sama,

it seems that we've lost a Testament in the S-20 area.

A Testament?

We've retrieved its final video transmission.

It contains a boy of the resistance, Cruz Schild, and...

a priest.

So, this priest destroyed the Testament?

Is he a Needless?

No.

We did not detect the usage of any Powers.

All right,

relay this to Uten and Saten:

"Kill the priest."

Immediately.

Yes sir!

Do you guys know about Needless hunting?

Yeah, I've heard about it.

You're talking about how Needless are picked off one by one, right?

There are even rumors that they've found Needless bodies with organs removed.

Yes...

Furthermore, unrelated people become collateral damage.

It's all because of Simeon!

We assembled 400 allies in order to murder their head, but...

I was the only survivor, and...

So it's your fault!

W-What?

The Teriyaki Steak went on a rampage because you guys were being thoughtless!

Teriyaki Steak Testament

It's Testament...

There were entire areas destroyed by that thing!

B-But...

We formed the resistance so that we could break away from Simeon's surveillance, exploitation, and violence-

Shut up!

Quit blabbering, Yamada!

I'm Cruz...

Shut up, Yamada!

I don't care about Shimeji or Shiitake or whatever!

It's Simeon...

Either way, you guys are the ones who are taking things out of proportion!

And you were unable to do anything except flee, leaving your allies to die.

Nee-san...

People like you are the real "Needless"!

You're tearing up like that while talking about your sister!?

You goddamn siscon!

Hey, Cruz-kun...

What's his problem?

Nee-san...

Oh, you don't need to worry about that.

You'll be reunited with her shortly, boy of the resistance.

You can't mean...

Right.

Death to those who oppose Simeon.

From what I've heard, Simeon won the trust of the populace through charitable contributions.

However, there are some less pleasant stories as well.

Stuff like human testing for the purposes of developing an eternal life drug to sell to nobles...

Or that they burned an area that was trying to expand into the Black Spot to the ground.

Needless hunting is a story along the same lines.

Smells like bullshit.

What sort of bull?

Well, if we take these rumors at face value, they're thugs that will stop at nothing.

This is the Black Spot.

I'm not seeing the issue here.

The issue would be the brain of the Testament that you brought back.

It relayed its position and display to HQ before being incapacitated.

From Simeon's point of a view, they are now dealing with an escaped rebel and destroyed Testament.

They'll probably send in some reinforcements.

Unfortunately, the Black Spot isn't so accommodating as to allow those without Powers to live without fear.

In other words, your chances of survival are zero!

Also, said reinforcements are likely far more powerful than a Testament.

If they're better than a Testament...

They must be Needless!

Great!

I'll bring some divine punishment down upon them!

W-What?

What happened?

You couldn't see them?

My severing strings that cut all.

You're... a Needless?

Oh, you finally noticed?

Yes, this is the power of a Needless.

Kandata String!

N-Nee-san...

Boy,

where is the priest?

It's my job to eliminate anyone who resists Simeon.

Like I'd tell you...

If you won't tell me, then I'll burn this area down and search for his remains.

N-No way...

Now tell me!

Fine...

Die!

If you're a man, act like it, Yamada!

F-Father!

If you grovel before me and pledge to worship me for the rest of your life, I'll help you out, boy.

No way... Even if you're that strong...

He's...

Looks like my priority has changed!

Now just sit there and watch!

All right, show me what you've got.

What?!

Take this! Kandata String!

Kandata String

Blade!

Oh, my bad. I forgot to introduce myself.

I am Kafka of the Kandata String.

These strings were bestowed by God to Kandata in hell.

The only being capable of cutting them is God himself!

Father!

How nice, Blade.

You don't get to see a Power like this every day.

W-What are you saying?

Father is going to die!

A string only God can cut, eh?

Sounds like fun!

What?!

If that's the case, then I'm stronger than God!

No one should be able to cut my strings!

Receive God's judgment!

Get away from me!

I'll kill this boy!

Try it.

What did you say?!

I-Impossible!

Don't touch me with those filthy hands,

you spider freak.

What the hell is this?

No way!

He shouldn't have any fighting ability at all!

Wha-?

Why am I over there?

When did you...?!

T-Then, he's...?!

Too bad.

I traded places with him while you were distracted by Blade.

No way... The Doppelganger?

Eve's ability is the Doppelganger.

Doppelganger

She can transform into anything, as long as it's within a reasonable range of mass.

Transformation

Metalization!

Take this!

Eve Cannon

Eve Cannon!

A-Amazing.

I'll let you handle the rest.

Sure.

Damn!

I'll shred you all to death!

Kandata String!

W-Why?

My strings that no man should be able to cut!

You did it again!

When you're cutting strings, you just need to bundle up one of them and use that!

He entangled my own strings and cut them?

Fine...

Try and see all these strings!

Take this!

Tempest Thread!

Tempest Thread

How's that!?

Can you survive that many shredding strings at once!?

Memorized.

Wha-?

What?!

Like this, huh?

It can't be! Your ability is...

That's right.

The ability to memorize an enemy's ability.

It's called...

Zero Memorize

The fragment of Zero!

Zero Memorize

Zero Memorize

Zero Memorize

Tempest Thread!

Zero!

I got it...

He wasn't manipulating my strings.

He struck back against my technique with the same one,

neutralizing the impact!

Doppelganger...

Zero...

Who the hell are they!?

Judgment:

Death Penalty!

Father!

No, not Father, God!

It seems she was killed by Simeon.

Oh, God!

Oh, Father!

He probably hasn't gotten over his sister's death yet.

Oh, no, Father, you are God!

You really are!

Oh, Father!

Hey.

If you're a man, act like it.

Nee-san?

This is all I can do for you.

Nee-san...

Eve...

Nee-san...

Yamada.

Why?

You're useless.

What!?

I tried my best!

Shut up.

Hey, come back!

Yamada!

I'm Cruz!

Seriously...

That stupid Kafka.

He rushed in and tried to take all the credit for himself.

But now it's clear.

Only a Needless can win against a Needless.

Which means that our opponent is quite the Needless.

Our Needless hunt begins now!

Leave it to a girl's style!

Admit it, we're strong, aren't we?

A cheating boy's attack!

Do it again, give me a proper kiss!

What do you want to do each day?

It's a good tempo.

Keep it up! That's the spirit!

Take your beating!

Say bye-bye to any selfish feelings!

Sill OK?

We're aiming for the next guy, Mr.scaredy cat.

Why not stop here? One strike and you're out.

Even though you're usually so cool,

you look so confused by these teasing words.

If you start to bore me, you'll be punished!

You've accidentally stepped into an aggressive zone!

And all sorts of troubles started happening!

We'll make a miracle happen in this jumping free zone!

Don't you agree? Not that we care though!

Leave it to a girl's style!

Admit it, we're strong, aren't we?

A cheating boy's attack!

Do it again, and give me a proper kiss!

Preview

Are you feeling okay?

You can do anything if you're feeling okay!
