We were warned.
I should've been able to prevent the "dead face" footage.
Kuze?
I let my guard down.
You can't think like that.
It ain't your fault.
Wh-What?
The hell?
Please come with us.
Bureau Chief
Hibiki, the Septentrion have appeared.
Get in position.
Monday of Upheaval - III
Osaka Juso Ohashi Bridge
Fire a volley!
I get it.
They can appear in this manner now that the city's lost defensive capabilities.
It seems rather severe.
Do you think the humans have a chance of winning?
If this is enough to beat them,
then unfortunately, it spells the end for humanity.
Osaka Kita Ward Ogimachi Park
What's that?!
A monster?
Tank squadron is destroyed!
The Septentrion Merak is currently heading south via Shin-Osaka!
Is that so?
Then our no-good government is finished.
We will now eliminate the enemy using JP's firepower. Begin.
Initiate.
Ma'am!
Now that we've lost spiritual defenses, the enemy has fully manifested itself.
Its firepower is probably 10 times what we expected.
Ten times...
Merak's goal is Osaka's spiritual barrier, Tsutenkaku.
If we lose that, Osaka will be finished.
Place a Summoner platoon in Merak's travel route.
Then, attack with all the strength of the Osaka Main Bureau!
A human wall.
What do you mean, "No"?
Hibiki's already gone, right?
Why can't I go?!
Your demons' levels are too low.
I can't permit it.
Ghost - Poltergeist Jaki - Obariyon
Ghost - Agathion
Hey.
You're on the medevac team.
Gotcha!
About Keita...
Yesterday, when I was pinned down by rubble and couldn't move,
he helped me.
He used the Berserk to move the rubble.
The people watching sure freaked out.
Then JP's hauled us in, told us not to use demons in front of others...
The rest is the same as you all.
Hinako...
We're ordered to move out.
Can you go?
Okay!
You're going?
You see...
I can't just sit still.
Well, neither can I!
Io Nitta.
You're ordered to stay on standby.
Huh? But why?
It's the Bureau Chief's orders.
Nitta?
You just stay here next to Hibiki.
He thinks that Keita's dyin' is his fault.
Even though that's not the case.
Hibiki. You're the last line of defense
. You MUST stop it.
What is it?
Keita died protecting me.
It's an acceptable sacrifice.
Sacrifice?
I can't think of it like that.
Then quit.
Those who lack the will to fight are useless.
You...!
Sir. Up till yesterday, he was just a civilian.
Irrelevant.
Splendid abilities notwithstanding, if he can't use them, he's garbage.
I won't quit.
I'll use my power...
to protect others.
I can't allow any more sacrifices!
Osaka Kita Ward Sky Building
Give it no quarter! Keep attacking!
Stay close to your demons.
Keep your control distance!
What the?!
Umeda Defensive Line Survival Rate
The Umeda Defensive Line... is annihilated.
How are we on reinstating spiritual defenses?
JP's Osaka Main Bureau Underground Shrine
Currently at 10% restoration.
They've done well in a short amount of time.
Osaka Naniwa Ward Daikokucho
Kuze...
You!
You were ordered to be on stand--
Oh! Where's Kuze?!
H-He's on the roof of that building over there.
Thank you very much.
Hey!
Merak's magical readings are increasing!
Emergency retreat! Hurry!
Here it comes.
Situation update, stat!
Communications are down!
What about survivors?!
They're dead.
They're all dead.
It's frozen.
Even the medevac team.
Without the helpers, we can't give any aid!
Hibiki!
Get outta there now!
You don't gotta hold their hands, right?
You've done enough!
If you do what JP's says, you'll get killed!
You can hear me, right? He's a nuisance. Cut the channel.
Say something!
Hibiki... Hibiki!
I'm going.
You're to remain here.
Please move.
I can't.
But I can fight it with Byakko's power.
You can hear, can't you?
Why didn't you use me from the start?
If you had, they... wouldn't have had to die.
There's still too much we don't know about the enemy's capabilities.
We can't send you in there without a plan.
That's exactly why I can't stay still!
Kuze. You're getting unable to think clearly.
I can't give you permission.
I don't need permission!
We're shut out of communications.
Bureau Chief...
Imbecile.
Never mind.
A replacement has been readied.
You can try to stop me, but I'm going.
Byakko!

Fumi Kanno
Osaka Chuo Ward Kawaramachi
Here it comes.
It's practically unhurt.
But it ain't immortal.
Here goes.
Lilim!
Byakko?
Hinako!
Hibiki. Aren't you the rear guard?
I can't turn my back on everyone!
What are you sayin'? Go back now!
That's moot if we beat it here!
Byakko!
What?! Electricity won't work?
Byakko!
Look out!
No! Protect Byakko!
Hibiki!
Hinako!
Hibiki... Wasn't Nitta with you?
Huh? Nitta?
Oh. Y'all passed each other, huh?
So dumb.
Hinako!
Merak is 500 marks from the Shinsaibashi Defensive Line!
Don't stop attacking! Finish it here!
Roger!
Merak has reached the road!
Sir!
You all right?
Thanks to your powerful demon, only you were saved, eh?
Ah, yes.
"Nice to meet you," I should say.
Who are you?
Alcor.
I'm Yamato Hotsuin's... Well.
His old friend, I guess.
I see. So this is how it is.
I couldn't help them.
Couldn't help them?
Looks to me like you've been dragged into this.
Dragged? Me?
That girl protected you.
And the other one's trying to fight right now.
"Other one"?
The human that came with you.
We're counting on your Summoner powers.
Ma'am. Um, and Kuze?
He--
He's fine. Just concentrate on the fight.
Sir.
It can't be! Nitta?!
Looks like she's fighting in your place.
No!
It's because of YOUR choice, yes?
Those with power tend to influence the ones around them.
Huh.
What's making you do that?
Cries. Screams.
If this can solve things, I'll do it.
I see. An interesting thought.
Why, amongst people who do nothing, do you choose to act?
Because I've acquired this power.
I want to run away.
But!
Since the metro accident,
I couldn't have done anything if not for you.
I think all I've done is cry.
That won't do, will it?
Like you, Kuze, I want to...
Try hard!
Megami Kikuri-Hime
The goddess Kikuri-Hime?!
Who are those guys?
Nitta!
Ma'am.
Kikuri-Hime!
Cover Kikuri-Hime!
Kikuri-Hime!
Oh, no!
Hibiki.
Hibiki!
Merak's magical readings are increasing further!
This is our chance, while the enemy is vulnerable.
Finish it!
Hibiki. You did it.
Merak is silent.
Its readings have disappeared!
Where will the possibilities of his choosing lead?
Kuze.
Hibiki... That's it. You did good.
Hibiki. You did it?
Keep your guard up till it's finished.
Who are you?
Someone who resents JP's.
Sir! JP's Nagoya Branch has been forcibly seized!
What?
The mastermind is Ronaldo Kuriki, former JP's team member!
Yamato Hotsuin is dangerous.
I'd like you to come with me, Mr. Hibiki Kuze.
Mission complete.
All team members, return at once.
Hibiki?
Osaka to Tokyo Branch.
There's no trace of Hibiki Kuze.
What do you mean? What's going on?!
Hibiki!
You don't know anything, yet you all would...
Hey! That's Hibiki, right? Where did he go? You don't know anything, yet you all would...
The violent spiritual energy that has overtaken the Nagoya Branch...
Eat some chawanmushi.
It's delicious.
The pledge you are bound to...
Well, maybe humans have the will to think for themselves.
It's only just begun.
Nothing has begun yet.
It's Cerberus!
You think Hibiki can win?
Burn it.
