Okay!
Shinmei Amu
I've implemented your selection!
I've been waiting for this, Asami-chan!
Whoo, whoo!
Wow, it's a cosplay of Shinmei Amu-chan, who's super popular right now.
Oh, that's her?
I did say I would submit to any disciplinary action for destroying the building, but...
Yeah, think of it as an act of mercy from me,
so that you'll never want to undergo disciplinary action again.
You have to say her signature phrase, too!
The one that goes, "Everyone MiNacle!"
I'd rather die!
How chaotic is this unit going to become?
We've taken yet another step back from my vision.
Everyone!
MiNacle!
In response to an increase in heinous crimes,
a new movement is picking up steam in police and security forces around the world.
This is the story of the services performed by ACTIVE in Japan.
File 3: Challenge From the Arena
Take a seat.
Uh, what?
Just sit here.
But...
Two of the Japanese cocktails called "kakuyakuroman," please.
Two?
They're strong, but really good.
I'm underage!
Oh.
Change one of those to a non-alcoholic beer.
To tell the truth,
I thought you were just some idiot out to make trouble.
Huh?
But I think you aren't half bad.
That's why we're having this toast.
Well, if that's what this is about...
Well, let's begin, Kazari-san.
Good job with the punishment karaoke.
Cheers!
What are you getting next?
What should I get? I'm gonna drink lots today!
Nice drinking there!
It's non-alcoholic beer.
I still can't believe you dressed up like that.
You could've claimed workplace harassment and said no.
I didn't want to back down.
You have real integrity.
You think I'm stupid, don't you?
Stupid?
More like an idiot.
A-An idiot?
I may not look like much, but I'm...
Now, there's no point in having a serious talk with a drunk.
Yeah.
Right...
Um, I've been wanting to ask you something...
Are you and Sena-san on bad terms?
What makes you think that?
I haven't really seen you talk to each other, outside of missions.
Well, we don't have many shared interests,
so there isn't much point in talking, I guess.
But he goes along with how I do things without making a fuss,
so we get along just fine professionally.
So you're saying you get by with minimal communication?
Kazari-kun...
What are you talking about?
Oh, well, I just never knew that kind of teamwork was possible.

Mornin'!
Good morning. Thanks for last night.
No way!
You're interested in something that isn't a mecha?
I just wondered how accurate Kazari-san's cosplay last night was.
The real deal is super cute.
They're going to broadcast her concert today, live on satellite TV.
Oh! Then I should schedule it...
Oh, you're into that sort of thing, too?
Huh?
You're pretty versatile!
Um...
Amu-chan's a guy.
Huh?
Shinmei Amu
What?!
Go Go Shinmaruko! Everyone MiNacle! Concert
Good morning!
I look forward to working with you all today!
Good morning.
"I'll give you a chance for an
Good morning.
exclusive live broadcast of Unit 8's antics.
Good morning.
Have your staff standing by at Shinmei Amu's concert hall.
The usual news anchor will be fine."
That means me, doesn't it?
Why didn't you tell me anything?
It's got to be a prank.
Who sends these things anymore?
But it's pretty specific!
"We'll use a Willwear stolen from Cycle Tech two days ago,
and infiltrate the concert hall using a surprising tactic."
Word is that Cycle Tech doesn't even develop Wears.
Good morning!
Morning. It's unusual for you to be late.
I've just developed a regular schedule.
It's you who's unusually early, Sena-san.
The First Investigation Division with the Osaka Police?
Yeah. It's a sweet deal, isn't it?
I suppose.
You took the long way, coming here from the Defense Academy.
You can go if you want.
We did get a new member, after all.
I won't make another mistake.
From this day forward, I'll be my true perfectionist self.
Huh?
Brother!
I brought lunch.
It's you today?
Yeah.
May I eat with you?
Sure.
Um...
Who told you to act like a slut?
I-I'm sorry!
Get out.
Never come here again.
Doc?
I'll expose Unit 8 lol Shame them on a national broadcast Stay tuned — Doc
"I'll expose Unit 8.
Shame them on a national broadcast"?
Acting on a whim
Wait, a concert hall?
Mythos and Bird are both wimps.
This is what you call "keep it simple, stupid."
Setagaya Ward Medical Incarceration Facility
Let me ask you one last time.
Did you really do this all alone?
That's right.
Just make a public announcement already.
Say it was to get back at the Oonishi Conglomerate.
How did you get the Willwear?
If you're saying you managed to obtain and maneuver the Willwear all on your own,
you're looking at a long sentence for drug use, too.
If you had someone's help, you should say so now.
Oh, and about the hidden folder on your computer...
Who said you could look at that?
You could say this is damning evidence.
Logos?
Yes, though who knows if it's the organization's name or what?
Logos, huh?
I wonder what their goal is.
Boss, I have a great follow-up tip.
What's that?
There's a great steak place nearby.
Take the next left.
I, Kazari Asami, believe the perpetrator's Willwear was
It can't be.
I can't see the perp having that kind of knowledge or wherewithal to pull it off.
First of all, I don't even see the motive.
Who is it?
Who created the situation that forced my hand?
1 New Message Received
It's a warning from HQ about a sensitive matter.
Huh?
Two days ago, a cutting-edge Willwear unit was stolen... From Cycle Tech.
Really?
But they kept it secret that they were even developing one.
What kind of Wear is it?
It provides support for live-stage productions.
A single unit can handle lighting, sound effects, stage direction,
filming, editing, and even MA. It's a real multitasker.
Why would that get labeled "sensitive"?
There's a rumor that the Defense Ministry's developing a counterintelligence Wear
with night vision and such.
Maybe it's somehow involved.
The other side's still sneaking around like rats, huh?
I'm sure politics are involved, too.
Well, that'd mean the end of our involvement right there.
I sure hope nothing happens.
What the...
Kominato-san, are you sure we should be acting without permission?
What if the perp's actually here?
But you even brought equipment.
It's too late to quibble.
So that's the target?
Yes, an idol who's a hot item lately...
I'm aware of that.
Wow! He's cute!
I can't believe he's a guy.
It's here!
Open it, quick!
They did mention they'd be using a huge mascot.
If we're talking infiltration, the wooden horse of Troy is a classic, but...
What's that?
Was that the setup?
No way!
I win!
This is Kominato. Prepare the live feed!
I'm going there now!
Sing for me, Amu-chan!
I'll take a PV with this Willwear!
But it's not "P" for "promotion," but "P" for "private."
No! Please stay away!
Yes, we have an intruder.
Please hurry.
I-I'm recording this!
I'm going record this myself,
just for me, Amu-chan's...
What? Other networks got wind of it, too?
Someone leaked it!
Other networks are setting up an urgent special broadcast.
Just for you?
How can you say something like that?
Shinmei Amu belongs to everyone!
I don't want to dislike you.
I'm... I'm...
Yeah... You're right.
I'm sorry, Amu-chan.
I'll leave now.
Hey! We haven't even started the live broadcast!
Jeez, why did you even come here?
You even told us your intentions.
What the hell?
You can't just give up.
That's why you're still a loser at thirty-six.
Guess I have no choice.
This action cannot be performed. Controls already defined by the administrator.
Damn Mythos.
You think you can get away now?
Turn yourself in!
Huh? Wh-What is this?
Haruka-kun, Kuroki touched this, didn't he?
No clue.
He even changed the settings without asking...
Where is he?
He had a double hamburger, so he said he'd be running it off for a bit.
Want me to call him?
No, there's no point asking him about this.
He even installed this!
Oh, but this is pretty useful.
It's free, but it can do a lot of stuff.
I finished leveling up in the game you requested!
Oh, and I compiled the poker strategy guide you requested yesterday!
Delete.
I'm sure he'll install it again, but still...
Sena-san, how can you tell what Kuroki-san's thinking?
Huh?
You get along fine professionally, right?
With a guy who doesn't even try to listen to anything I have to say?
Huh?
What's with this app?
I do apologize for the inconvenience,
I have to answer a stupid survey just to uninstall it!
Oh, that's the setup?
but please help us to improve our software!
That's it. I'm going to Osaka.
This is Unit 8.
I see, at Shimomaruko.
Huh? Shinmaruko?
Oh, the arena?
Kyoukai-kun, which unit could deal with that new model?
If you want to overpower it immediately, I'd go with the Alpha unit.
Okay, so Sena-kun and Kuroki-kun.
This sucks.
I can get to Noborito the fastest.
We aren't using that route.
Then I'll find my own way there.
Roger!
We'll make arrangements.
Hurry!
Get Amu-chan outside!
Hurry up!
It seems a female newscaster has been left behind.
Confirm how many are in need of rescue.
Roger!
A-Are you okay?
Please wake up. Hey!
Crap! Move...
Move, damn it!
I... I just want to get out of here...
This is the police!
You are under arrest for forcible obstruction of business,
property damage, and damage to the building.
Thank God you're here.
Target ignored the warning and attacked.
Immediate escalation to Level 4.
According to Provision 12 of the Secret Service Act,
you're now allowed to use material force.
We can't!
We were caught off-guard, and vision and hearing are shot.
Both sensors at maximum threshold.
Protective channels have been activated.
We're still fine. Our channel's still on-line.
Oscar II, follow my instructions.
Haruka-san, please instruct Oscar I.
Got it.
Roger.
All right!
Hey, you!
According to Provision 12—
Wrong direction!
At your six!
Huh?
Oscar I, target is thirteen degrees to your right, four meters away!
Oscar II, aim a punch three meters straight ahead.
Ninety degrees to the right!
Who said that one?
It was me!
Are you talking to me?
Direct strike with the right arm.
All right!
Oscar II, that instruction was for Oscar I!
That's easy for you to say...
Oscar I!
Huh?
Impossible.
The perp's tuned his visual and audio functions to the limit!
What does that mean?
He can instantly calculate direction of attack based on the sound caused by displaced air,
as well as adjust his stance to avoid the attack.
Boss, request permission to use munitions up to Rank B!
Granted!
That was fast!
Oscar I and II, munitions headed your way!
Confirming permission to launch emergency-assault unit.
Confirmed.
Launch permission granted.
Permission granted!
Launching!
My vision's back.
Why did you hit me?
Right back at you!
Um...
Huh?!
Please help me already.
We didn't come here to help you!
We're here to arrest you!
Oh, that must be it.
Huh?
He's fast.
Speed and directivity differ from the first attack.
Could a third party be remotely controlling it?
Is it equipped with a remote control system for industrial units?
Here!
Got it.
Wait! I can't control my movements!
Argument denied!
A weighted sticky shot...
Then their next move will be to incapacitate the enemy with an ECM net.
Crap!
Has he been drilling with this unit or something?
Incoming! Set noise-canceler mode!
Noise-canceler mode?
I've already analyzed the enemy's audio attack.
By emitting its antiphase, I've neutralized it.
Huh?
Th-The batteries!
The core batteries of all units were forcibly purged!
They're on backup power now.
That's impossible!
I'm heading to the site.
Can you distract the perp while I do repairs?
Bastard! What's he thinking?
I was correct
that they'd leave the battery-vulnerability fix for the next scheduled checkup.
They think like model grown-ups, after all.
Stop!
I-If you like me, please stop being so violent!
Please!
I-Is that...
Good job!
Act your heart out, Asami-chan!
Amu-chan...
They infiltrated the system via
the Wi-Fi system for live broadcasts?
I see.
They intend to reset this system and kick me out.
We've succeeded in deceiving the other Wear.
Next line: "I like you, too."
What?
Hurry.
I like...
...you, too.
Huh?
Um, what's next?
"I'm just so nervous."
Um... I...
I'm just so nervous.
"I'm just a girl at heart, you know."
Th-That's way too embarrassing to say!
Assistant Inspector Kazari!
Ugh... Fine!
I-I'm just a girl at heart, you know.
Amu-chan!
Good grief.
Huh? This is...
Who's overriding the system?
He's unbelievably fast!
Huh?
Now that it's come to this, Asami-kun, let's have you sing and dance.
What?!
I'll send over data for the moves and lyrics.
External speakers, on.
One, two...
One, two, three. Go!
Hey, let's keep it a secret.
Don't tell anyone, okay?
I'm still embarrassed, you know...
This won't work!
Got it! I'll fix it on my end.
Auto-tune Off
Auto-tune function activated!
Auto-tune On
It's... really her?
He took control back again!
The concert should soon come to a close.
Now let us destroy the idol.
No, don't move
and hit things...
I-I'm not going to let you
hurt Amu-chan!
Go ahead, if you don't mind breaking all your bones.
We might have admin access now.
Did he just set a password?
No way...
Who is this guy?
Crap... I need backup.
Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm here to finish him!
Forcing shutdown!
If remote control becomes possible,
maybe we should rethink network connectivity in Wears.
Viewers, what do you think happened here?
Look at the destruction.
Um...
Looks like your "concert" was broadcast live.
What?!
Guess that'll be another apology letter.
Well, I guess I can hang around for a while longer.
That's right!
Consider the numerous irresponsible acts!
Can you, the viewers, even comprehend their actions?
Unit 8 Performs Live at Shinmaruko Arena?
They misused the scene of the attack as a karaoke room!
If this isn't misuse of our taxes, what is?
Thanks, Unit 8.
That was fun.

Okay, what's the next ACTIVE episode?
Hmm, things look more serious than usual.
And wow, Sena-san and Kuroki-san are being friendly!
Are they stepping it up since they were goofing off too much before?
Try and attack in the next episode, "Holding Airspace."
