All language subtitles for Only clouds move the stars 1998

If our gods and our hopes are
nothing but scientific phenomens,

then it must be said that our love
is scientific as well - "L'Eve Future"

Repo 202 to control.
Arrived at target airspace.

Commencing data relay.

What's the current situation?

52 minutes ago

we cornered the murderer.

So far every squad we've sent in

has been killed within two minutes.

Stay back!

This isn't a time to try and save face.

We really don't know what's in there.

I'll monitor him on the data link.

Whatever is in there
is extremely dangerous.

Help me.

Help me..

The death toll is now up to 8 people

The perpetrator

is a female android

one of the latest

experimental models.

This model

is now being recalled

due to errors

in it's programming.

Did you hear that?

The new owner is very slow

about recalling the new model.

Complaints and civil suits

from bereaved families

mount up against the manufacturer

I don't know how it will turn out.

All I can say

is nine suits have been settled already

What will that solve?

Elaborate ceremonies,
newspaper articles, praying.

In the end it boils down to two things,

the lost loved ones

and the injustice of the sin.

This is the same

in every case.

We are the weapons

that avenge those victims.

You two clean up the mess.

Enough talking, Go.

So what do you think?

I don't think it was the new model.

I think it was tampered with.

Perhaps...

It's as if the system
was deliberately corrupted.

My younger brother wasted his life and
became an alcoholic shell of his former self.

He failed in his search
for a reason to exist.

He started to keep to himself
and I lost all contact with him.

All due to his problems with
his own sense of identify,

his own sense of identify,

he didn't even know his own programming.

So where do we investigate first?

We start at the factory on
the north side of town.

The information we gather there
should give us a good lead.

What are you doing here?

We're looking into an incident
involving one of your second rate dolls.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Maybe you two should try the toy company.

Your lack of cooperation
will be noted in our report.

If I don't get these
equations done right now,

I will not be able to finish them.

Fine. We'll show ourselves around.

You police sure like to
throw your weight around.

Was I supposed to bow or something?

Because you are a detective,

you have to be patient and
always have an inquisitive spirit.

Thats why I've trained to be
just as curious as a newborn baby.

Would you consider using
a mirror as your model?

Yes, a mirror understands without
instruction and without hesitation.

Well, then here's your chance

to become a mirror.

What are you here for?

Now is not a good time.

My name is Togasa, I'm investigating.

My name is Koan Kyukan,
I was told to expect you.

It was shot with this 50 caliber

hollow point bullet.

It killed three of our men.
So sorry if it was damaged a little.

Two seconds before that,
it sent out a signal then

self-destructed.

It killed itself? Who was the target?

Harabe.

What does Harabe have to do with this case?

He used to boast that he could put
human consciousness into a machine.

But that discussion ended with his
imprisonment for illegal dissection.

When human beings are hurt that is
an unforgivable failure of medicine.

You ever heard from this guy again?

We just wanted to explore the border

between man and machine.

No, I never saw him again.

Perhaps, you can tell me why
it wanted to kill itself.

I really don't know.

These machines

aren't supposed to have emotions.

There's just no pride in
construction these days.

eh?

There's been a model change

and we are adjusting to the new model.

When the new model came out

it was like bringing a
new life into the world.

Go on.

Humans and robots are different

although they can distinguish

between black

and white

they do not know their significance.

That is the level of humans.

Is that so...

The trouble with robots

is that they can only see

in straight lines.

They can't imagine

so they can't lie or deceive.

These robots are very idealistic.

Why can't humans attain such splendor

without our bodies to defile us?

If we could we'd have a perfect world.

Why can't humans use the
robots as an example?

Do you have any kids?

Yes, a daughter.

Children usually train themselves

to become human beings.

They segregate themselves into roles

but where can a child

find a perfect model to learn from?

Obviously no human is perfect

so they can't follow a
specific human being.

Little girls use female dolls
to practice being women.

Playing with dolls at young ages

teaches them how to be a woman.

What are you trying to imply?

A child's smiling face

is learned from the false

smile of a doll.

But children are not dolls!

Humans, machines and animals
have countless forms.

The doll is the most perfect
and the most sterile form.

It is the form of consciousness
that knows no pain.

That is my opinion.

Well that may be true.

I want to hear the signal

the 2052 model robot sent.

Okay

The signal survived

because the body

was very well made.

What was it used for?

The body was made for someone
looking for a good time.

What?

It's a sex toy.

There's a big market for partners

that feel no pain and never complain.

So this is the secret the bereaved
families aren't supposed to know.

I got a call yesterday

saying the shipment to America
had a unit missing.

I didn't understand at
the time, but...

But?

Then I found this.

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help me...

Help...

Time for us to go.

eh

Sorry I was rude earlier.

My comments about children
were only speculative.

I may have gone too far.

Thank you for your time.

If anything else comes up,
I will contact you.

That was

irritating.

Now

we have

something to go on.

What do you have

on the tracer?

We've found a previous residence

and we already have ten men there.

I'll get directions now.

Understood. We are on our way.

This is one trip that we have no idea
what kind of place we are headed to.

What, just you?

In these times of reduced funding
we use new tactics.

How bad is it there?

This was from twenty minutes ago.

This was really our man?

Yes, we're sure of that.

The victim was hiding here

after he abducted a 15 year old girl

sometime before the
fifth of this month.

We know that they stayed
here for about a week...

before he got chopped in half.

We haven't figured out

what evil tricks he was up to in here

but he was obviously engaging in
all kinds of brutal perversions.

Wherever she was taken

the girl's abduction is
something of a blessing...

Ah, found it.

Glock 38, standard issue.

Hasn't been discharged.

Probably wouldn't have done any good.

The suspect was a professional.

The forensic guys are on their way..

Prepare to vacate the premises.

A little premature, isn't it?

Whose insightful eyes will be taking over?

Forensics Units 979 and 969.

Today is my daughter's birthday.

my daughter's birthday.

Can we go now?

Go ahead. I've got it covered.

There's no excuse for missing
your own daughter's birthday.

your own daughter's birthday.

Oh, this looks like fun.

You guys don't get out much, do you?

Our permit requires you
to leave immediately.

Be sure to find everything we missed.

Why do you surrender
jurisdiction so easily?

Show the old man any pictures you take.

Here it is! The corpse is completely lacerated.

The heart, lungs and liver
have been ripped out.

Smooth talking bastards.

Got your dog some fresh food?
It will be a welcome relief from the dry stuff.

I wouldn't even call it food.

This case has a lot of unknowns.

Maybe we should ask
around for information.

Informants are useful but they
can't talk to both sides.

The only who can make sense of
all this for us is that girl.

We-

Ishikawa, don't discuss this
case for the time being.

Cya.

Batou.

What?

Try and keep the horrors of this job
separate from your personal life.

Adjusting to it, is more realistic...

The victim's spine was snapped in two.

His heart, liver, and
stomach were ripped out

and his skull was smashed.

Most of the damage was done

after dead by head trauma.

So we're after a psycho.

Thus was clearly done
for perverted reasons.

So we have a perverted psycho then.

We've determined that the damage is
consistent with a specific weapon.

Just like the disfigured door knob.

The latest results point
to a Chinese beauty-type.

model NOR26

The top blade is capable of slicing
and the wrist rolls out

to form a fully functional hand.

Naturally this model comes
with super human strength.

What can you tell us

about the arm's owner?

We have a probable location.

Then quit stalling and spit it out.

The location is on the monitor and
in your vehicle's tracking system.

Your car has been revamped with
the latest model stabilizers

shocks and bullet proof glass.

This cyborg is probably
a low level bodyguard.

in the employment of some yakuza boss.

Maybe it has some anger issues.

Who paid for the killings?

A rival mobster is probably the culprit

he is suspected in the murder
of these yakuza bosses

All recently released from prison

each one horribly ripped apart.

Isn't that obvious?

The previous Buddhist sermon
orders were absolute.

There are still two problems:

The victim didn't seem to be
worried about a revenge killing.

And he doesn't seem to
have any mob connections

and his sentence is not mob related.

The computer has no answers
for those at this time.

At any rate this was obviously
a targeted killing.

The robot's boss does seem to target
people with illegal ties to government.

All these people have bribed
government officials.

One wrong move and we'll be
facing charges for misconduct.

Proceed with extra caution
and find out what we need

to know to put an end to this.
Dismissed.

Togasa.

Report to me before you go to bed.

How is it?

We're preparing to investigate.

Foolishness! If you want to successfully
carry out your objectives you need to understand

your perspective and other people's perspectives.
That's why diversity is very important in a unit.

That's true, but I don't have the
abilities of an enhanced cyborg.

Perspective for the sake of
perspective makes sense to me.

Regardless of your previous feelings,
you should be happy now.

What do you mean?

Batou is a perfect example.

He looks like a ghost

hardly knows who he is.

Life for him seems to have a bitter taste.

but he has still kept his compassion

he still searches for what he's lost

and still has some hope to regain it.

Chief, What is the real reason you chose me?

Because the one who introduced
you was the Major.

What did he say?

He talked about perspective.

Perspective?

He thinks the whole world
revolves around objectivity.

You're taking that
to an investigation?

That building is going to be filled with yakuza.

We'll need weapons.

But there's something else we
should do before using weapons.

What?

Listen to what they have to say.

Do you like yakuza?

I hate them.

Me too.

We are only going there to talk.

That won't happen inside
a yakuza's headquarters.

Yakuza or not I've got a
family to take care of.

I'll go in by myself then.

We'll go together because we are partners!

Just promise me one thing.

If it's at all possible we
should settle this by talking

but if we are fired on

I will return fire.

Agreed.

In the latter case be ready... partner.

What the fuck is this?

The police would like to
ask you a few questions.

Is that okay?

They didn't even attempt to respond.

For that reason, I skipped a step.

It's a known trick of the trade.

He's a hologram

that's why we couldn't kill him.

You guys and your half-assed strategies.

How is it?

It's narrow ahead.
I can't see what's up there.

What do we do?

I'll clear the way.

Your grenades exploded over my head.

Now, you wouldn't be able to tell me

the location of a certain
murderous cyborg, would you?

You think I'm kidding?

If you're useless to me

all I have to do is kill you.

I won't be needing this.

Come on, Mr. Can Opener I'll
take that arm from you first.

It was over before it even began.

Your chief exaggerated

his abilities!

He was a gift from some
bigshot corporate company!

I don't know anything else.

Still alive, partner?

My head and back bruised, thanks to you.

Your daughter got a break this time.

Let's go tell the chief about the mission.

No, they're dead and so
is the evidence we needed.

I really don't remember ordering you two

to sneak into the Yakuza's office.

This isn't a jungle and I don't

pay you two to be assassins!

Was it really worth it?

As officers of the law
we have to respect life

not just throw it away.

Even if it's to save our own lives

can we stoop to such a low level?

You sound like a retired social worker.

Sometimes investigations
require those measures.

In the end it will be forgiven.

So you intended to kill them?

The old man knew it was necessary
and is not really angry.

Stop us here, please.

Bye.

You are trespassing on our turf.

Your present arm is a replacement
we just installed.

It has the same movement and sensation
software to be just as good as the old one.

When the time comes.
I'll initialize them.

Where is

the original?

We threw it out.

That copy is based on your DNA.

So I'll be able to use this
just like the original, huh?

That hurts, wait a moment.

Was it your idea to bring him?

No, it's me that knows your soft spot.

The company's owner denies everything

but we've got him in custody

for the time being.

That dog sure does love you.

Am I the only one in a hurry?

I've got a lot to lose here.
My daughter is depending on me and if
I let her down my wife will be pissed.

When do we start?

Anytime is fine with me.

There's no time to fool around.

It's your fault that you didn't notice it.

If you want to blame
someone, blame the boss.

Is that a clone?

Originals are expensive, aren't they?

This is the first dog ever bred artificially.

It's not like you to have

a cyberbrain hacked into.

They've set a trap for you

because your living habits are so routine.

Those are his favorite though.

That's the only store
around here who sells them.

He even shot his own arm five times

and he almost killed the shopkeeper.

Even though he was confused
for a short time

there are very few

who can hack into this guy.

Other than the Mayor.

Why didn't he blow up my head immediately?

His objective wasn't to kill you

but to discredit you.

You rushed into the Yakuza's base

and sent ten people to heaven or hell.

And on the same day

there's a random shooting at a store

so it's not odd to think
that you were going crazy

or that your cyberbrain is broken.

Hold on.

This is a message from the chief...

The investigation must carry on,
that's what she would say if she was here.

But from this point, they say
they can't provide any further

assistance without any
material evidence.

We'll just have to go there then.

Be quick, this classified
information won't last long.

Go north immediately.

North?

The two of you aren't enough?

We'll be okay, but what about this dog?

What are you suggesting?

Me taking care of

this tiresome dog?

Do something by yourself for once!

Long ago it was built as the
primary information center

and it had always done it's job.

In the end, it's nothing
more than an abandoned area.

Profiting from the weakness
of the government's system

it has become the primary
hideout of criminals nowadays.

It's a sector of anarchy in which

even the federal police are powerless.

"That which is created by solid beings

will disintegrate just
as the solid beings do."

Isn't that just like the story about
a beaver's dam or a spider's nest?

It's an old Japanese saying.

Well, I guess it's not
that beautiful after all

If a living being's base is information
that makes up it's DNA then culture and society

are just huge centers
of information therefore

cities reflect society inside it.

"Thy thoughts.. how great
is the sum of them!

If I should count them, they are
more in number than the send."

Isn't that from the Old Testament's Psalms,
chapter 139?

If you're suddenly searching
for such words

he phenotype of your external
memory unit must be a little bit off.

I don't want to hear that from you.

Sorry to interrupt, but we will
be arriving at Locus Solus soon.

Since we came all this way make
sure you don't mess up.

You are now above Locus Solus.
Prepare for landing.

"They... who lay entranced
thick as autumnal leaves

like insane chaos roared..."

Now it's Milton...
We are nothing like Satan.

Batou!

You think you're someone special
now who can call me by my first name?

I haven't forgotten about the
fact that I owe a lot to you.

Not forgetting but also
not remembering either?

Please forgive me... Mr. Batou.

You don't have the right
to call me Mr. either.

Forgive me, I beg you, please!

You must know something about Kim.

I don't know anything about Kim.

I mean there are a lot of people
called Kim in this big town.

There's only one Kim
that I'm looking for

Even among people like us we must
respect our mutual loyalties.

There are two ways to be loyal...

By guarding a secret or guarding
the truth, but you can't be both.

I don't know him!

Him?

I mean someone who has that name.

The great power of youth
is what you question.

The time wasted by a thousand fools.

So?

In the past, he was a long distance
scout in the military.

Not serving for the upper class
or commanding the lower class.

Pretty good info for just laying
down in the streets all day.

While he was moving from one place to another
such as special forces or electronic groups

he sold weapons illegally and
his career became tainted.

In the end, he settled on being a hacker.

A donkey can go on a trip but that
doesn't mean it will come back as a horse.

He's an idiot who couldn't

comprehend his own abilities.

Let's go.

Batou, the master of the house
is on the first floor.

Looks like we got here too late.

Most likely he tried to

hide somewhere and got his head

burned by some acidic liquid..

Nevertheless

he won't be of any help like this.

Hey!

Confucius once said

"One mustn't lay around

like a dead person."

Long time no see.

I came here because of my work.

Since that Nemura landing

operation, huh?

Take caution from our vision

Putting the factory plants
in foreign countries.

The dolls..

The dolls

are well made

over there.

Enough to kill people and
then commit suicide?

If that was true, that would
be a very vulgar thought.

I can't understand people who blow souls

into dolls and make them
try to mimic humans.

If there were to be a
truly beautiful doll

it would have a body of
flesh without a soul.

A corpse that would stand tall even
at the brink of total destruction.

Reducing yourself to a cyberbrain
shell, is that what you want?

Humans judge things by the shape

or gracefulness of movement

no, even with regard

to the existence

itself of the doll

this is the inadequacy

of human cognition.

Wanna get back to business now?

No, there is just one more entity
that rivals dolls and the Gods...

Animals, huh?

Our great surroundings are filled with

a deep subconscious pleasure
that beings with strong

self-consciousness such as ourselves

will never be able to feel.

For these are the descendants of
those who took the throne of cognizance

which is even more difficult
than trying to become God.

So there is no choice but to enter into
a doll and pretend to be dead...

Is that what you are saying?

Confucius says "If one does not yet understand
life, how does one understand death?"

The person who understands death must be born.

Most endure this not with preparation and
resolution but rather with stupidity and adaptation.

In other words, although people
die because they have no choice

dolls of flesh take this as
a given and live with it.

Kim chose to completely robotize himself

and that was his reason.

So?

After that, he joined the Special
Forces Electric Line Division, etc.

During that time, because of black market
arms dealings and a host of other things,
his record became completely tainted.

In the end, he settled down
to become a lowly hacker.

He had an incredible past, right?

Just because a donkey goes on a trip but
that doesn't mean it can come back as a horse.

What's wrong? Let's go.

Batou!

I am pleased to announce
that on this month

this day, I have passed away.

Hey!

It's an unpleasant feeling, isn't it?

I understand it well.

You wonder if something that
looks alive on the surface

is actually alive or not.

On the other hand

you wonder if something with
no life is actually alive.

If you wonder where the creepiness
of a doll comes from

it's because dolls are models of human beings

in other words they are nothing
more than humans themselves.

The feat that perhaps humans will be reduces

to simple gimmicks and materials.

In other words, fear that maybe
the phenomenon called "human"

is actually a form of
nihilism or nothingness.

Let's get down to business already.

As Science tried to shed light on what

this phenomenon called "life" is

it started to take a role
in the rise of this fear.

The belied that nature was
computable led to the conclusion

that humans can also be reduced
to simple mechanical parts.

The human body is a machine that
winds it's own spring

and is living proof of perpetual motion.

The 18th century mechanist's
theory of the human body

has revived due to technologies
such as cyberbrains and shells.

Ever since the externalization of
human memory was made possible

by computers in order to expand the
limits of what is possibly an organism

humans actively sought to
mechanize themselves.

It was a manifestation
of the will to surpass

the Darwinistic theory of
natural selection to obtain

by one's own hands the right to evolve

and also the will to surpass Mother
Nature which begat that very being.

It's the phantasm of life, equipped
with the hardware completely

that is the wellspring of this nightmare.

The True God is Geometry...

Let's go!

Batou!

How do you feel?

What was... I...

You were stuck in a virtual experience maze.
Your cyberbrain was hacked.

Just like good luck comes by three times

bad luck also gives three signs.

You don't watch because
you don't want to see

you don't say anything even
though you realize it

don't listen even if you are told...

and finally you face catastrophe.

But in our world if you miss
the first sign, you are done for.

I told you that I don't have time
to fuck around with your jokes!

When will you realize?

The more a person lies in wait
trying to deceive someone

the easier that person is to deceive.

You may have been an expert
in electronic warfare

but unfortunately for you I'm a
pro in intelligence warfare.

Besides that, I have a guardian angel.

Try searching the memory about the hall

from your huge external memory
banks of saved data.

According to Jacob Grimm

golems obtained their energy from the
word "aemaeth" written on their foreheads

in other words, from the word "truth"

but the first two characters "ae"
were erased to show "maeth"

in other words "death" and thus they returned
to the ground from whence they came.

A divine message .... mansion...

You're saying that it infiltrated
the protection that I wrote?

Impossible! There is nobody
that can do such a thing...

I told you. I have a guardian angel.

Game over, Kim.

I'm going to have to spill the beans now.

That one's

just a doll.

You've become a poor loser, Kim!

Batou. Can you say with confidence that

this is not a continuation of the

reality made by a virtual signal?

My ghost whispers it to me.

Humans are nothing but a material

to weave forth the dream called "life".

If Dreams and perceptions, no...

if even ghosts were the warping chasms

of another otherwise regular matrix...

Then I'd be a worthless being like yourself

but the shoes we wear are different.

To a guy that doesn't believe in ghosts

there aren't such things as
madness or multiple breakdowns.

Then I'd be a worthless being like yourself,

but the shoes we wear are different.

To a guy that doesn't believe in ghosts

there aren't such things as
madness or multiple breakdowns.

Whatever remains of your flesh now

will probably keep physically operating

without a breakdown until
you get what some

some call a "fitting" death.

Are we really in physical reality?

You better not be lying to me.

There is nothing that
differentiates between

recollection and the actual memory itself.

And whichever it may be

you only come to understand it after the fact.

It sucks that you can't save
your personal experiences.

It's the price you pay for
getting a cyberbrain and

having shared your memory on the network.

Do your wife and child waiting at home

really exist?

or are you still single

alone in a room dreaming
of someone else's family?

Ever feel like checking into that?

If you realized it all along, then why...

I had to confirm their plans.

They figured I'd come,
so they set up a trap.

To take me on a spin through
a virtual experience

and chase me away.
Something like that I guess...

When they played me for a fool
and blew off my right arm

they may have struck a
branch in my cyberbrain.

Like Ishikawa said, it's not like
you can find anyone who can do that?

Rokusu Sorusi would have probably
figured out the same thing.

So you knew from the beginning?

I was going to fake like
I fell in the trap

and then hand it to Kim

The guardian angel that
you were talking about...

Gone. To other side of the chasm
in the uniform matrix...

Somewhere in the immense network...
Merging with it's completeness...

Merging with it's completeness?

If you want to find proof of your existence

there are as many routes to finding that proof
as there are limitless number of ghosts today.

But we've lost our viable lead on Kim.

No we haven't.

Kim's ghost-packed cyberbrain is still
connected to Rokusu Sorusi.

But we've lost our viable lead on Kim...

No we haven't. Kim's ghost-packed cyberbrain
is still connected to Rokusu Sorusi.

We've gotta settle this before they try
to blot out and obliterate it all...

Those ancients had some good things to say.

The Master said, "He is no disciple of mine.
My little children

when there is no right or wrong

beat the drum and assail him."

The negotiations have broken down and

it is now time for the violence to come out.

Hey! This isn't like just barging
into a yakuza's office, you know!

I'm not expecting anything from you ever.

The birds hide high in the heavens

and the fish lurk deep in the water...

I've made contact with the escort.

Roger.

I'm surprised you can move
so well with that body.

This place is very deep, so if you sink

even we won't be able to rescue you.

eh?

I used to know a cyborg that
used to dive as a hobby...

From what I've heard, no one has
ever come back alive from that ship.

I can't even understand why you'd want to do it.

You're absolutely right.

Take me there now.

Hang on tight.

Coming into contact with a
sensor picket in 12 seconds.

I'll send a dummy signal through
the line for only two seconds.

Roger.

This guy's connected directly to
the Security Chief's cyberbrain!

Beginning synchronization.

I'm in. Now send me the ship's data.

Done loading. Are you on my eyes?

But of course. I wouldn't want to miss my
great teacher's heroics. Video recording on.

Well aren't you a cute one.

Intruder.

Security system on Level 2 rebooting.

Checking cyberbrain activity
within all premises...

Searching for terminal whose
memory activity matches the virus size...

Possibility of delayed effects from virus.

Beginning collective/intermural surveillance.

Loading Battle-Ready

Shell Control System...

And so the spirit arrives.

It's been a while, Major.

Or what should I call you now?

To be exact, only part of me
is loaded via satellite.

This Gainoido cyberbrain doesn't
have enough capacity to hold all of me.

It can only hold the Battle-Ready
Shell Control System.

So bear with this expression and voice
because it's all you are going to get.

There should be an emergency terminal
about 50 meters ahead in this corridor.

We'll connect from there and
take over the system at once.

You haven't changed at all.

Go point for me.

I'll secure the back.
Just like old times.

Just like old times.

"There is something evil about
several people holding mirrors.

It is not that it exposes evil;
rather, it helps create evil."

Hey. This is not the time to
be saturated in emotion.

I don't have many rounds left.

"In other words, mirrors are to be
glimpsed at not to be stared at"

Are you OK?

It's just that I have to get this
ship's control system under control.

Connect to the auxiliary terminal.

I'm going to shut down this shell's physical
output until I can take over the system.

Our only hope is your 30 caliber.

As far as shooting goes, I don't miss..
but I've only got one clip left.

There are no guarantees once it
gets used up in white gun smoke.

I'm going to start now.

This ship is completely in stand-alone mode.

Has it begun to move?

This ship is moving south from
the north end that has no laws

to a certain nearby country
within jurisdiction of the law.

Basically the ship itself is the evidence
that will incriminate Rokusi Sorusu.

They're going to chase us down, you know.

A convoy will come to escort
us before that happens.

I've already informed them.

Anyway, wouldn't you like
to see the truth behind

Rokusi Sorusu's magic that
blew souls into dolls?

You know already, don't you?

You have a good lead already.
Am I right?

There's no noise in here.
They've sealed off all electromagnetic radiation?

Ghost dubbing.

In animal studies they found that
they could make multiple degraded copies

but since it was revealed
that the original brain

was destroyed in the process,
it became illegal

They brainwashed the kids they smuggled in using
the Yakuza and subbed their ghosts into Gainoido units.

No wonder Rokusi Sorusu's
Gainoidos were renowned.

Help me...

Help me...

You came to save us?

Mr. Bockerson said the police would come for us.
That they'll save us.

I'm in the fourth stage, but Soana who
came with me is already in the fifth stage

and I can't hear anything from her,
and she won't answer me anymore!

The head of inspections
that was killed made

some modifications to the logic program to
save these children and after they discovered that

he was then handed over to the Yakuza to be
killed since his actions killed their leader.

He said if the robots create some accidents,
then someone would surely notice!

He said said someone would
surely come to save us!

Didn't you think about all the victims?

Not the human ones.
Didn't you think about the dolls

Didn't you think about the dolls who were
forced to have souls blown into them?

But...

But...I didn't want to become a doll!

"Sadness over a bird killed, but no sadness
over a fish killed. Lucky are those with voices"

If the dolls had voices

they probably would have cried out that

they didn't want to become humans.

Let me ask one thing. Do you think
you are happy the way you are now?

That's a nostalgic set of values.

At any rate, I am at peace with myself now.

"I walk alone and do no evil,

having only a few wishes-

-just like an elephant in the forest"

Batou, don't forget.

Whenever you are on the net,

I am always by your side.

Farewell.

She appeared on that ship, didn't she?

Your guardian angel.

No response again, huh?
You think I'd put that in the report?

I'll be here to pick you up at 8:20am tomorrow.

I've got to repay you somehow
for taking care of my dog.

Would you like to come in?

I have no intention of mixing an outsider
like me with your personal life.

Papa!

Where's my present?
Where's my present?

I haven't forgotten.
Here it is baby.!

Yay!
