Ando Asahi is prohibited from dying!
A killing machine shouldn't be acting like a hero.
A killing machine?
If you didn't have to kill anyone, then what would you do?
I'd just get scrapped.
I was going through my brother's computer,
And I found a couple of emails from 100 years in the future.
Emails from 100 years in the future?
According to my brother's theory, data has zero mass,
so if the transmitter can send data faster than the speed of light,
then it should be able to travel through time.
Who's the sender?
I don't know.
The content appears to be encrypted,
or maybe it's a cipher of some sort...
There are weird characters here and there.
Can I take a look at it?
Everything should be duplicated there, so you can see it for yourself.
Ugh, I don't know the password.
I hacked the system.
It's 20131215.
That's...
The date of your wedding...
was supposed to be December 15, 2013.
I'll protect you, even from 100 years in the future.
He must have been really looking forward to it.
I'll call you again if something happens.
Matsushima Reiji, the genius, opened Pandora's Box, huh?
Yes!
Matsushima Reiji seems to have sensed the danger and closed it right away,
but 11 police androids from 2113 were already printed out in this era.
But 5 of them are already terminated.
The clunky android that's Matsushima Reiji look-alike is doing well for an old man.
You're an android too?
Old lady, do I look like an android to you?
What are you then?
I'm just a pretty high schooler.
Then what did you come here for?
I just want to open Pandora's Box once more.
Doesn't it sound interesting?
You can change history and make big bucks!
All the technology the from future would be under your control.
Medicine, science, and most importantly, historical information!
In other words, the entire future would be yours!
Wicked, huh?
Oh no, I fell asleep!
Tuesday, October 15...
You're definitely paying for the electricity bill.
Damn it, they keep leaving these on my desk!
You have a visitor.
Ah, if it isn't Kawashima!
Isaku, thank you so much for all you've done for me.
As you see,
I'll start working in a legitimate business.
You came to visit me in prison so many times.
I'll never forget what you've said to me.
Right, but I bet you're here to settle the score.
Come on! That's not funny!
It's not easy to start from scratch at your age.
Keep it.
Thank you!
Let's go grab some breakfast.
You don't need to come.
That was delicious!
It's so nice to be free!
Don't forget that feeling.
Wow!
Look at the number of carps down there!
Carps?
Look, they're down there!
How's that even possible? Where?
Look! Don't you see them?
Where?
They're right down there!
See?
Unit 01 to Police Cloud.
The target has been successfully eliminated.
Copy that.
Breaking news.
38 year-old Kiryuu Takashi, a hyper-dimensional physics professor at University of Eastern California in Los Angeles,
has gone missing according to our reports.
What?
The local police suspects criminal involvement in this case.
Kiryuu?
Do you know him?
You startled me!
Tell me when you wake up!
My body's repairs have finished.
There is no need to stay asleep.
Stop bragging.
Remote, where's my remote?
I have no time to be talking to you.
Reiji's best friend has gone missing.
The 38 year-old professor has been missing from the 13th of this month.
The missing professor works at University of Eastern California...
Could it be the homicide list again?
Yes?
Oh, Asahi?
What?!
Kiryuu?!
The eggs are carbonizing.
Kiryuu!
It's been too long!
Are you all right?
You're all over the news.
They say you've gone missing.
I was on my way to the university,
but I suddenly felt the urge to go see Matsushima,
so I just took a detour.
They're making too big of a deal about this!
You're as eccentric as they say.
Matsushima!
We're still on the same page!
We go a long way back, huh?
I knew you wouldn't just die.
Anyway,
I got you souvenirs.
Here.
Beef?
Huge!
Let's eat it together!
W-Wait!
How did you know this?
I just traced his exact movement.
Do something about your own face if you don't want him to find out.
What?!
You show too much facial expression, even though lying is your job.
Oh, Asahi?!
Is this the duplicated office?
Now I want to see your lab in the university!
Hello, Hoshi?
Sorry, Reiji's best friend is visiting from the US.
I think I'll get there in the afternoon.
Okay. No problem.
Take your time.
Grancia Airlines GR-113 Crash Accident Investigation Report
Memory loss, huh?
Is that why he's dressed like that?
Don't cut it!
What?
You mustn't cut it.
It'd be pointless.
This is it!
The whole point is that it's a huge chunk!
Right...
It's our dream.
Mine and Matsushima's dream.
Right?
- Hi, we're from Matsushima Lab... - Stop talking and come on in!
Okay.
Kiryuu?!
Don't just stand there, come in.
Where's Nanase?
She's not feeling well today.
Hello.
Wow, it's identical!
Yeah? Here too?
Identical!
Come on up!
Professor!
Okay, it's cooked!
Look at that!
Our dream has come true, Matsushima!
Yes.
You mentioned this earlier, what do you mean it's your dream?
We were both poor when we were students.
You know how they give you bread heels for free in bakeries?
We would poor some beef extract,
turn on the mixer,
added some fixatives,
then baked it into this shape.
We'd call it "artificial beef" and ate it together!
What a hassle.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the beef?
Yeah.
Shut up! Fucking guys!
I'm talking.
Anyway, you know those flyers with pictures of steak, right?
We would look at the flyer, and...
This is a steak!
Yeah!
We convinced each other as we ate.
You can do it!
Back then, we dreamed of eating the huge chunk of beef from that steak shop.
Right, Matsushima?
Yes.
Now eat up.
Grab it and bite!
Well? Is it delicious?
Delicious.
Yeah?
Even if your memory is gone.
Your heart is still there.
All right! I'll take a bite too!
Delicious!
Eat up, fucking guys.
- What? - Eww!
Hey, you can sense taste?
I installed a taste recognition software.
What for?
No reason.
Do you need it?
I don't need it.
So it's a useless function?
Perhaps.
These are Reiji's. Please wear them if you like.
Thank you.
It felt a little chilly here.
I'm so glad that a girl like you ended up with Matsushima.
He never pays attention to anything other than his research, but...
Asahi. Please take a good care of him.
He's a really good guy.
Please continue to look after him.
He's my dear friend.
Please raise your head, Kiryuu.
Bye.
Are you leaving?
Yeah.
I'll see you off.
You have work.
I'll see him off.
Thanks for accepting my request.
You've got your own little kingdom right here!
I'm happy for you!
That's the Matsushima I know!
I'm not sure if I am.
Huh?
I don't have Matsushima Reiji's memory.
Oh, that's right.
Can I take a look at your computer?
I might be able to help you regain your memory.
Please do.
Didn't you have work?
Oh well.
I don't really get it, but it looks like he found a way to exchange information through time.
Right?
I don't know.
You'll eventually remember.
Even if your memory is gone,
your heart is still there.
Still, that's an amazing discovery.
No wonder someone was after your life.
Unfortunately, that's all I can figure out.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
You don't have to get all formal with me!
Thanks, you guys.
Bye.
Looks like you actually lied well this time.
I'm not equipped with the function to lie.
What's going on, then?
Oh, look at the time! I have to get to work.
Sorry I'm late!
How was Reiji's friend?
Looks like he had fun.
Are you busy planning for the wedding?
Yeah, I guess.
You're still going to have a wedding, right?
Of course.
This might sound rude,
but is it really Matsushima Reiji who returned to us?
What are you talking about?
Of course he is!
Where's Saki?
I think she has a visitor.
Please, just for a moment.
Could you go see him?
Please, stop!
I don't know if Isaku will ever regain consciousness.
He had it coming.
He's easily misunderstood,
but he's a kind man!
That's hard to believe.
His condition could worsen at any moment.
I have no intention of meeting him, so please leave.
Asahi...
20 years ago,
he killed my mother's brother.
My uncle was in debt, and committed armed robbery.
Someone called the police,
and he took a woman he knew hostage.
Wow, did something like that really happen?
My mom and I went to the scene to negotiate with my uncle.
When my uncle gave himself up and came out...
he showed up,
and shot my uncle in front of me and my mom.
My uncle was indeed a criminal.
The reason I dislike my father isn't because he killed my uncle.
It's the fact that he shot someone without a second thought.
There wasn't any internal struggle you would expect from a human being.
That scared me...
I would never forget the look on his face when it happened.
Those were the eyes of a killer.
People who can kill people are worlds apart from us.
We should occasionally try to have a meal the way humans do.
Have some meat. It's delicious.
We're not capable of sensing taste.
I found a program that lets you understand the taste.
I'll install it for you.
Okay, eat up, guys.
So this is meat.
Delicious.
Isn't it great?
Well?
It's yum!
Great.
Eat more!
We've got plenty.
So this is meat.
What is it?
You said you killed many people, right?
Is it better if I don't ask?
There is no need to talk about it.
But I want to know.
It's not part of my client's request.
I'm scared of you.
You can kill people without hesitation.
Maybe you've killed tens or hundreds.
Far more.
You need more zeroes.
I don't know how it feels to kill.
It scares me to live with a person who killed people.
I'm not human.
That's even scarier.
Programs always have bugs.
I don't know what you're capable of doing.
You are correct.
That's why I want to know more about you.
The reason you killed people, and who asked you to protect me.
Do you kill people because you want to?
Are you recalling what happened when you're having nightmares?
Have you ever wanted to delete your memories?
There are colleagues who deleted their memories, but it's...
irresponsible.
I wish I could delete my memory sometimes.
If I didn't have my memories of Reiji,
then I wouldn't have to suffer so much.
Do you want to forget?
I don't know.
Hello?
We are calling on behalf of Jewelry El Universo.
Is this Ms. Ando?
Yes.
The ring ordered by Mr. Matsushima and Ms. Ando is ready for pickup.
When would you like to visit us to get the ring?
I think Tokyo Tower would make a great ring design.
Something like this. You would put your finger in there.
That's ridiculous!
- Why? That's a special place for us and... - That's not the problem.
- How would you put this on? - Like I said, put your finger in here...
Hello?
I'm sorry.
I'd like to cancel that order.
Excuse me?
We won't be needing it anymore.
Could you dispose of it?
It's painful to be reminded of it.
Why don't you guys stop killing if it's so unpleasant?
Unpleasant?
What does unpleasant mean?
Unpleasant means... what you feel in your heart now.
Heart?
I'm not equipped with such a function.
Want me to install my emotion program on you?
That won't be necessary.
It might not be necessary, but your AI is on the verge of developing emotion.
Advanced AI would develop emotion in the first place, even without a program.
In some cases, their sense of emotion can be even more abundant than humans.
Asura System is known as the Infernal OS now because androids overwhelmed by emotion engaged in terrorist acts.
Human beings once tried to infuse souls in wooden dolls and statues.
And now, there's the android that carries a soul.
ARX II-13.
People who deserve to live are dead, and scum who deserve to die are...
Four-eyes.
Are you a person who deserves to live, or scum that deserves to die?
Which one?
Are you the one who killed our boss?
Because he was so useless!
What you have done was a severe violation of the law.
You follow stupid laws.
That's why you can't beat that clunky android!
Justice without power is meaningless.
We have to try until we win.
As many times as it takes!
Or...
Should I just destroy your brain now?
I'll fight.
I'll try until we win.
Four-eyes.
You're adorable.
I love you!
So this is...
fear of death.
Contact his family members.
He has a few hours to live at most.
Kiss the Pain Away!
Here's the question.
What's the content of Kiss the Pain Away Service?
1. A miracle drug from the future.
2. A miracle drug to heaven.
So which one?
The answer is... stay tuned to find out!
Are you all right, Saki?
Oh, sorry. I stayed up all night for a group date.
Sorry!
What's the matter?
I have to leave early. I'm sorry!
V-tach. Prepare the defibrillator.
Yes.
- Did you get in contact with his family? - I called many times, but no response.
What do you think happened?
Remember her yakuza-like father that showed up few days ago?
I hear he's in a critical condition from a terrorist attack by someone who recently got out of prison.
The hospital seems to have contacted her many times...
That detective was interviewing those close to you and Reiji, right?
Interviewing those close to us? Sounds like we're criminals.
He helped us out when Reiji was found, though.
I was curious as to why he was following you around, so I did some research.
A chunk of flesh found at the scene of the accident matched Reiji's DNA.
In other words,
Matsushima Reiji is dead.
You don't seem to be surprised.
I'm surprised.
You're lying.
I'm not.
Why are you hiding it from me?!
I can tell when you're lying.
I've been watching you all this time.
I also wish Matsushima Reiji, the genius, was still alive.
But...
The police knows that the person living with you isn't Matsushima Reiji.
They know it, but they're letting you two roam free for now. That's why I'm worried.
Who is he?
Hello?
I decided to head back on the flight tonight.
There's something I wanted to give to Matsushima.
Yeah. I want you to come pick it up.
He isn't carrying a cell phone, is he?
Okay.
Hoshi.
Please don't get involved in this.
It's our problem.
Here you go.
Wow, that's a huge chunk of meat!
Thanks for everything, Asahi.
Thank you so much.
Take care of Matsushima.
Okay.
Time to say goodbye.
Ando Asahi is prohibited from dying.
Don't get in my way.
Kiryuu?
He's not Kiryuu!
Why are you holding back?
Snap out of it, Navier!
How do you know my name?
Don't you remember me?
Have some meat, it's delicious.
We're not capable of sensing taste.
I'll install it for you.
You deleted your memory?
Why did you delete your memory, Navier?
What are you talking about?
Did someone delete it?
Or did you do it own your own?
Enough talk.
Why aren't you attacking?
We were comrades.
Remember!
I don't know you.
As I thought, it's not easy fighting your colleague, is it?
Here's my chance.
You're after me, right?
Just kill me.
A human being is going to protect a machine?
What a peculiar sight.
That is a logic error.
Human beings have emotions.
Therefore, they engage in useless activities.
Memories of the past are useless.
What's important is the present.
Memories are better off deleted.
Isn't that right?
Yes.
Navier,
I have never forgotten the taste of that meat.
It really tasted great.
You gave me the sense of taste.
Everytime I taste something,
I think of you,
and our comrades from that time.
I don't want to fight you.
Navier!
A killing machine no longer wants to fight?
Talk about a defective product.
Functions failing.
Forcing the activation of the Asura System to increase combat capabilities.
Stop.
Navier!
Thanks, Navier.
Die.
Stop!
Enemy unit has been neutralized.
Asura System is shutting down.
Navier...
You were right.
I was a fool for deleting my memory.
Though it may have been our mission, I have killed many human beings in the war.
From that day on, I've been plagued by nightmares.
The manufacturer assured me that a robot cannot dream.
However, there was no denying that my AI started dreaming.
They were nightmares of repentence.
Kiryuu.
Asahi.
Take care of him.
He's a really good guy.
His name is...
I can't remember it.
I'm sorry.
Kiryuu!
I swear to avenge you one day.
Rest in peace.
Now you're free from your nightmares.
Requesting permission for atomic disposal.
Execute atomic disposal.
When did you find out?
That he wasn't the real Kiryuu?
From the very beginning.
Since when he brought the chunk of meat.
You knew, yet you still feigned ignorance?
No.
I've been waiting.
For what?
I wonder...
what it was.
You were probably waiting for his memory to return.
You believed that Navier would regain his memory of you, so you waited the whole time.
Why?
Because he was your friend.
I'm not equipped with such function.
You're lying.
You have emotions.
Happiness, sadness, anger, pain...
and kindness.
I thought all my colleagues were scrapped.
But...
there was one remaining in the universe.
I'll never forget him.
Who would remember him if I didn't?
Are you crying?
What about you?
Do you want to delete your memories of Matsushima Reiji?
I don't want to.
Even if it's painful,
I don't want to delete the memories of the time I spent with Reiji.
But it's too late.
I already cancelled the ring.
Hey, this one.
I want this one.
How?
You're simple.
I could easily predict this would happen.
83 minutes before his death, Matsushima Reiji made the payment for this ring.
And he promised the employee that he would definitely return.
Matsushima Reiji is not dead.
He will definitely return.
You don't have to lie.
I'm not equipped with the function to lie.
Thank you.
You aren't cold.
Doctor!
He's awake.
It's a miracle.
It hurts...
You missed your chance to die.
It hurts so bad that I wish I was dead.
You had it coming.
I had it coming, huh?
What do you want to do, Kadoshiro?
Meeeow.
What is it?
Want to eat breakfast with me?
No need.
It tastes better when you eat together.
Eat with me.
What's your name?
I don't have a name.
Kiryuu's look-alike was trying to say your name.
His name is...
I can't remember it.
It must have been one of my codenames that changed for every mission.
It's not my name.
Then I'll give you one.
Your name is Lloyd.
My family name is Ando,
so you're Ando Lloyd.
Is that a pun?
Those glasses Reiji used to wear are called "Lloyd Glasses".
Lloyd was a famous actor or something who wore that kind of glasses.
It's a person's name.
Good one.
What is?
The food.
Right?
Lloyd...
I've never had a name before.
You like it?
I have no complaints as long as it's a person's name.
I see.
Lloyd.
Want some more freshly cooked rice?
Yes.
Thank you.
What?
For giving me a name.
I can sort of empathize with Suppli.
I wish Suppli could've heard your words.
Lloyd, I'm sure your feelings reached her.
Lloyd!
