Original subtitles

The solar system was destroyed by the Gauna,

alien creatures with whom no communication is possible.

The few humans that survived lived on and bred in the Sidonia,

a huge spaceship built into an asteroid, journeying through space.

He's from underground, right?

Roger.

Suddenly, something unknown appears...

...and attacks the trainees!

Ultra-high density Heigus particle signal from inside the asteroid!

"Gauna: Alien Creatures that Threaten Mankind. Composed of a core and an Ena, they can't be destroyed without destroying the core.”

"Gauna: Alien Creatures that Threaten Mankind. Composed of a core and an Ena, they can't be destroyed without destroying the core.” It's the Gauna!

"Gauna: Alien Creatures that Threaten Mankind. Composed of a core and an Ena, they can't be destroyed without destroying the core.”

It's been a century.

They don't have Kabizashi! At this rate...

The trainees don't have the Kabizashi,

the one weapon that can defeat the Gauna. They're helpless.

Nagate Tanikaze is attacking!

What?

When everything looks bleak, Nagate attacks the Gauna alone.

Captain Kobayashi fires the ship's Heavy Mass Cannon,

knocking away the Gauna.

To keep it from getting into the ship when it comes back,

they chose to move the entire ship...

...but the damage was terrible.

To recover the Kabizashi, which had been abandoned in the last battle,

Nagate and the other trainees are sent out.

Kabizashi sighted!

Mission complete!

--Heigus particles detected from Ga-487!

--Then they find out that the Gauna are approaching. --Heigus particles detected from Ga-487!

--Then they find out that the Gauna are approaching.

Hoshijiro is attacked.

She manages to escape, but is now floating through space.

Come in! Tanikaze!

Nagate ignores orders and defeats the Gauna.

He stays out past his maximum return time, and goes to look for Hoshijiro on his own.

I'm glad you're safe.

It's empty?

--Why? --No...

The two gradually get closer in this extreme situation.

Hoshijiro.

Is that...

--Hooray! We're saved!

--Nagate returns safely, and is rewarded for his efforts in the battle, --Hooray! We're saved!

--Nagate returns safely, and is rewarded for his efforts in the battle,

and made into an official pilot.

Norio Kunato, a man who wants to be a hero, becomes very annoyed.

Norio Kunato, a man who wants to be a hero, becomes very annoyed.

The Gauna attack again, in the form of a Gauna Pod with 27 linked cores.

The Sidonia attempts to detonate each core simultaneously...

--Blow it! --Blow it!

But the mission fails because of Kunato's plot.

Tanikaze-kun!

Stop it, Hoshijiro! Don't!

Get out of here!

No...

Hoshijiro dies as a result, eaten by the Gauna.

Nagate loses his will to fight because of Hoshijiro's death.

"Hiroki Saito: Rikiya Koyama" "Nagate's Grandfather, and Sidonia's Hero The first pilot to kill a Gauna"

"Hiroki Saito: Rikiya Koyama" "Nagate's Grandfather, and Sidonia's Hero The first pilot to kill a Gauna" You want to be a pilot and protect Sidonia, right?

So you need to be ready to fight, even if it hurts!

He then remembers his grandfather's words.

With the help of his friend Izana,

he gains the strength to fight the Gauna once more.

Military command, having lost many pilots, announces a large-scale reorganization.

Yuhata Midorikawa is appointed new commander.

"Yuhata Midorikawa: Hisako Kanemoto" Yuhata Midorikawa is appointed new commander.

--Prepare to launch!

--Sidonia then finds Gauna it had missed, --Prepare to launch!

--Sidonia then finds Gauna it had missed,

and fires an Interplanetary Missile at the planet they were lurking on.

--Three Gauna then appeared.

--What's this? --Three Gauna then appeared.

--702... That's Hoshijiro's... --Three Gauna then appeared.

They were in the form of Gardes,

"Ena: The material that covers a Gauna's core." and dangling Ena beneath them in the form of Hoshijiro.

And dangling Ena beneath them in the form of Hoshijiro.

It hurts! It hurts so much!

He hesitates at first, but Nagate approaches them,

and calling out Hoshijiro's name...

...he defeats two of them after a battle,

and recovers the Hoshijiro-shaped Ena.

--The Hoshijiro Ena is preserved, and responds to him.

--Tanikaze-kun... --The Hoshijiro Ena is preserved, and responds to him.

--Tanikaze-kun...

The next foe is a massive Gauna that has absorbed an entire asteroid.

It approaches the Sidonia at high speed.

Destroy the whole asteroid.

With no time left until impact, Captain Kobayashi decides to destroy it.

The Gardes are assigned to defeat the Gauna surrounding it before impact.

The mission seems to be going well,

until something splits off from the Gauna,

destroying one Garde after another.

It's a Garde-shaped Gauna called the Crimson Hawk Moth.

"Crimson Hawk Moth" It's a Garde-shaped Gauna called the Crimson Hawk Moth.

It's a Garde-shaped Gauna called the Crimson Hawk Moth.

They go inside and destroy the main core, and then begin their escape.

Nagate decides to fight the Crimson Hawk Moth,

and proves to be a match for it,

before being knocked out by an attack from the huge Gauna..

Come in, Tanikaze!

--Just when it feels like this may be the end...

--Nagate! --Just when it feels like this may be the end...

—...Izana saves him.

- I won't let the flame of your life burn out! —...Izana saves him.

--I won't let the flame of your life burn out!

The light of Sidonia's hope...

--Nagate wakes up and hits the Moth with a powerful strike.

--Go! --Nagate wakes up and hits the Moth with a powerful strike.

Meanwhile, the other Gardes finally find the main Gauna core.

They succeed in detonating it.

But many Sidonian lives were lost in this battle.

The man who got the closest to the Gauna in Sidonia's history,

--the scientist Ochiai...

"Scientist Ochiai: Takehito Koyasu® "A scientist who brought the Gauna to Sidonia 100 years ago in an attempt to destroy humanity.” —-the scientist Ochiai...

--Kobayashi... someday you'll need me. --A century ago,

his research into the Gauna had almost destroyed Sidonia,

and he was executed.

But his brain was saved by Sidonia's government

and his lab was sealed beneath Kunato Developments for many years.

Norio Kunato found out about the lab and went to visit it.

Norio-sama, run!

And Sidonia blood worms replace his personality with Ochiai's.

"Sidonia blood worm: A parasite developed by the scientist Ochiai, which causes another personality to take over its host's body." And Sidonia blood worms replace his personality with Ochiai's.

"Sidonia blood worm: A parasite developed by the scientist Ochiai, which causes another personality to take over its host's body."

Ochiai moves the Hoshijiro Ena to Kunato Developments to help with his research.

Perfect.

Meanwhile, Sidonia decides

to begin colonization of Planet Seven in the Lem Star System.

...announced it would permit colonization of Planet Seven.

A colony ship was launched.

We will now attack Ga-549.

The Gauna attacked again.

What?

Something appears before them just when they're losing the fight.

My name is Tsumugi Shiraui.

Tsumugi was a hybrid created by Kunato Developments,

"Tsumugi Shiraui: Aya Suzak "A hybrid created from both human and Gauna.” Tsumugi was a hybrid created by Kunato Developments,

Tsumugi was a hybrid created by Kunato Developments,

--with a heart like a human.

--Yes, father. --with a heart like a human.

--Everyone is awestruck as she attacks the Gauna.

--That's not a Gauna. --Everyone is awestruck as she attacks the Gauna.

It's one of Sidonia's new weapons.

Tsumugi is officially assigned to the military,

--and takes a liking to Nagate.

--Tanikaze-san! --and takes a liking to Nagate.

Father, I really want to talk to Tanikaze-san!

Tanikaze-san...

Nagate sees something in her that reminds him of Hoshijiro,

and goes to visit her often.

The Large Gauna Cluster is approaching Lem...

With their new weapon, Sidonia announces its intention to destroy

the Large Gauna Cluster, the Gauna's nest.

"Large Gauna Cluster: A cluster of countless Gauna. Humanity's greatest and most evil threat.” the Large Gauna Cluster, the Gauna's nest.

"Large Gauna Cluster: A cluster of countless Gauna. Humanity's greatest and most evil threat."

"Large Gauna Cluster: A cluster of countless Gauna. Humanity's greatest and most evil threat.” They begin to advance on the Lem system,

They begin to advance on the Lem system,

to launch an attack from Planet Nine, which is in its blind spot.

We will attack the Large Gauna Cluster!

Seeing Tsumugi live alone in the dark lab level reminds Nagate of his past.

He rents a new house for them to be in.

He, her, Lizana, and Yuhata all move in together.

As their peaceful life continues, Tsumugi falls in love with Nagate.

Did you smile a little?

Don't look at me!

Tsu-Tsumugi!

--And the androgynous Lizana gradually attains a woman's body.

"Androgynous: A third sex that changes to match their partner.” --And the androgynous Lizana gradually attains a woman's body.

"Androgynous: A third sex that changes to match their partner.” --I see. --And the androgynous Lizana gradually attains a woman's body.

"Androgynous: A third sex that changes to match their partner.”

"Androgynous: A third sex that changes to match their partner.” So that's what you decided to go with.

"Androgynous: A third sex that changes to match their partner.”

"Androgynous: A third sex that changes to match their partner.” Is Tanikaze-kun the cause?

Is Tanikaze-kun the cause?

N-N-No!

Come here, Nagate!

Nagate is unsure how to handle this change in Lizana.

--Tsumugi is jealous of them both.

—If I was human, --Tsumugi is jealous of them both.

Would he have invited me there, like that?

Tsumugi...

And then the colony ship reaches Lem.

This is the drop ship!

--We landed successfully! --The advance team lands on one of Seven's maria...

...but they're attacked by the Gauna.

HQ! This is...

The Sidonian army finds it suspicious that communications were cut off

and send a team to Planet Seven.

Izana is part of the team.

Ahead of us...

It's like a fog...

There's something there!

--An invisible Gauna!

--The team that approached Planet Nine was stopped by an invisible Gauna. --An invisible Gaunal!

--The team that approached Planet Nine was stopped by an invisible Gauna.

They attack, but it begins to grow and grow.

The Sidonia loses contact with them.

I'll save you!

Nagate and Tsumugi head there, but are stopped by the Crimson Hawk Moth again.

Tanikaze-san, get to Izana-san! Quickly!

Tsumugi leaves the search for Izana to Nagate,

and begins a one-on-one duel with the Moth.

Meanwhile, Izana has abandoned her Garde and landed on Planet Nine.

There she finds a Gauna on the surface.

She's pushed to the edge of a cliff,

but Nagate rescues her and takes her inside his Garde.

I'm fine.

Meanwhile, Tsumugi is about to deal the killing blow to the Crimson Hawk Moth.

--And then... its sharp Ena pierces her.

--Tsumugi, get away from it! --And then... its sharp Ena pierces her.

It's absorbing your Heigus particles!

The Crimson Hawk Moth revives, and deals a seemingly fatal blow to Tsumugi.

Tsumugi!

Nagate finally catches up and attacks,

but his Garde's head is damaged and he loses his sight.

The Crimson Hawk Moth sends its Ena inside the Garde.

Inside the cockpit, it assumes the form of Hoshijiro.

Stop pretending to be Hoshijiro, Gauna!

Just a little more!

To stop the Ena from doing anything more, Izana purges the Garde's head.

And Nagate strikes the final blow on the Crimson Hawk Moth.

All units, full-power attack!

Don't let a single one escape!

Roger!

The Gardes launch a full-out attack on the remaining Gauna.

We can do this!

Planet Nine is theirs.

The Sidonia has won!

It's okay, Tsumugi.

Let's go.

Right.

Tsumugi's love... Sidonia's fate...

Can humanity defeat the Gauna to protect the ones they love...?

Watch me. I'll show you how to fight the Gauna.

Grandpa...

I'm going.

I'll pilot the Tsugumori.

"Sidonia finally comes to an end..."

"Original Work / General Supervision : Tsutomu Nihei (Knights of Sidonia, Appearing in Kodansha's "Afternoon' Magazine)"”

"Main Theme: 'Hikari no Disco' by CAPSULE"

Tsumugi came up with the idea and made it herself.

Let's go!

Don't let go of my hand, okay!

I'll protect you, Tsumugi.

I'm not scared of dying in battle at all!

But...

The Large Gauna Cluster is sending Gauna to Lem!

They'll reach Lem in 48 hours!

I can finally get revenge, sister!

Stop them at our last defense line, no matter what!

At this rate, Sidonia will...

Please, protect Sidonia!

Is this the end?

You don't have the right to end our species!

I have to kill you.
