There goes another one.
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
Don't you enjoy it?
That's a stupid question. I prefer to hunt strong prey.
There goes another one.
- We're going. - Uh, right!
Isuzu, wait for me!
"If the world is full of ill will," somebody once said...
"...it's not good to get pissed off at stupid things."
You can't let the stupid things bother you.
The strongest in this world are the dull-witted.
As I began thinking that way, I heard a voice cheering me on...
...saying, "You can do it! You can do it!"
However, that was the sound of my own voice.
Fukai yoru no haneoto wa... The sound of wings in deep night...
Tooi shoujo no hibi no... Is the echo of distant days...
...kodama. ...of young girlhood.
Tsuki no fune wa sotto... The boat of the moon...
...namida kobosu yo. ...softly drops a tear.
Yonde yo... Call me...
...harukana natsu no namae. ...the name of faraway summer.
Toki wa nagarete... Time passes...
Daremo inakute... Everyone is gone...
Kanashii hodo ni kireina... It is sad-the pretty...
...yoake. ...Dawn.
MAD DASH
HQ calling all cars! The runaway vehicle...
... is now heading towards Aqua-line highway.
Damn. It's been like this every day.
Geez... What's happening to the world?
Huh?
A moped?
- Close... - Uh...
You on the bike! Pull over!
- What's wrong? - Uh... It's...
- Uh... - Huh?
What was that?
The Gate of Illusion. But never mind. We're close.
We can't catch up!
- Hey, you! - What?
Jump! Jump to the other car!
I...I can't do it! No way!
What have you been doing these past 2 months?
Sloth! Half-wit! Idiot!
Gate Open!
Useless twit.
- Too bad. That was close. - She's no good.
Oh?
She's only quick at running away.
That's just the right amount of speed.
She will become like me. As will you.
I know.
Good, then.
You'll mess up my hair!
I don't care. Sell it all. Including the related businesses.
Has a hunch of mine ever been off?
That's right. Thanks.
You traced my cell phone.
Ill will can be found everywhere.
For the crime of changing your bodies and minds through sheer ill will...
...I will pronounce judgment on you.
The death penalty!
You cannot escape two-dimensional dislocation.
Material extinction by shadow through the black gate...
...is like this!
I know.
You can't defeat me!
Get lost!
I read the future, and summon that future by force.
This is the power of the Gate of Foresight.
A dual Gate Keeper.
What's wrong, maggots?
Danger... Danger... Danger...
I don't have much longer.
You've been hanging out with that girl non-stop. Did something happen?
Report Card You've been hanging out with that girl non-stop. Did something happen?
Report Card That girl?
Report Card Ayane Isuzu from Home Room D.
Be careful during summer vacation!
She has a mocking attitude. You know what I mean?
- Yeah. - Oh. But...
Miu, what made you start spending time with her all of a sudden?
Huh? Oh, you know...
So, ambiguous laughter is your unique way...
...of coping in this world.
She is weird.
Never mind all that. Have you heard?
You mean the thing about the ghost?
Yeah. Shinachi says she also saw it recently in the science room!
I can't take stuff like that!
Me, neither. Say, what about you, Miu?
You said you believe in aliens but not in ghosts, right?
Miu?
What? What? What?
Centered on the Aqua-line highway...
July 7th... 13th...
Um...
If there's anything I can do...
Um, Isuzu? Is there anything I can do to help out?
Hey... These aren't real lenses.
You're bothering me! Go home already.
I see... they have a "home". But in order to chase them down...
Um... If there's anything I can do...
There isn't. You're nothing but a nuisance.
Like yesterday...
I'm sure I'll reclaim my honor today!
Why don't you go amuse yourself somewhere until I come up with an idea?
Go boy-hunting or something.
You like to bum around without purpose, don't you?
Don't touch me.
They say ghosts have been seen recently.
That has to be a ghost!
If I remember correctly, it was this way.
H-Hey, you don't have to follow it...
What if it's an Invader?
Uh, I, that'd be...
Oh!
Science Room What?
Science Room Come to think of it, a girl in my class...
Science Room ...said she saw it in the Science Room.
Science Room Really.
Okay, let's go in.
What do you mean, "okay"? We really shouldn't, Isuzu!
Then do you want to wait here?
I don't want to do that, either!
Do people still get scared at this stuff?
Wh-Wh-What was that?
Was it a weasel or something?
Huh?
Isn't this...?
- Um... - It's still alive.
What?
No! It's-It's-It's-
- Hands off. - But...
- You... - I'm sorry...
H-Hey, what's going on here?
- I think... - Yes?
Isuzu?
What's all this doing beneath the school?
Long before we were born, the far eastern branch...
...of Earth Defense Organization AEGIS...
...lay beneath Tategami High. These are the remains.
Long before we were born?
This...
Isuzu!!
It's a snake! It's a ghost snake!
Isuzu! Snakes! Snakes!
Are you stupid?
Sheesh!
I'm sorry.
Oh, I was trying to pick up that photo.
What?
Why'd you do that?
No reason. I just felt like it.
The grand appearance! It's the ghost!
Isuzu! D-Don't, Isuzu! Isuzu!
D-Don't leave me!
What is this tiny car?
UP-15.
The ghost!
The trusted road is not always the road to be taken.
Tread carefully, with feet unstepping.
Wear shoes, my dear.
It's a curse, Isuzu!
Japan's oldest anthology of poems.
Isuzu?
By "wear shoes," does she want us to use this?
Wow... It's kind of amazing, isn't it?
A gate energy amplification system.
Huh?
Otherwise known as... a gate engine.
Forget it!
- What's this? - Registering paranormal frequencies.
Then we'd better go!
We will. In a different car.
But if we do that, we won't make it in time!
It's available, so let's borrow it!
I don't want to get into it.
Y...You can't say that!
I have to reclaim my honor from yesterday!
It's a rule, so there!
A rule? Can you drive?
Drive? I...
...can't drive!
C'mon, let's go!
Hurry up, Isuzu!
You really are going to reclaim your honor, aren't you?
- Yes! - Seatbelt.
Escape vehicle UP-15 will now be raised to the surface.
Charging remaining energy!
This voice...
Commencing elevation of the emergency launch lift-off.
UP-15, after lift-off...
... the far eastern branch will be eternally sealed off.
All personnel, please evacuate immediately.
A voice from the past...
Good luck!
What are you doing, Ihara?
Sorry about that!
An earthquake?
Oh, it's so intense...
- Think you can win? - The 32 is a good car...
...but it's just an outdated clunker over 10 years old!
Eat that!
What is it?
Something really fast is coming this way!
That car...
Was it a brand new model?
Over there!
Isuzu, go right! Right!
We'll go this way.
Aqua-line?
Distribution radius of the outbreaks and the points of their disappearance...
Analysis of these factors leads to...
Only one plausible position where they can be.
And there they are!
Th-The enemy!
We can get away quick!
This car should be able to do it!
I realize this isn't a good time, but...
What?
...what's this rule about reclaiming honor?
Um... Well...
Inside my own head, that's what I've decided to do.
I decided to work hard so everyone can be happy.
So there can be fewer unpleasant things in the world.
Besides, I'm full of curiosity.
The exit.
Um, it's pitch black.
I'm picking up something.
Do you mean, this place...?
All of these are...?
Invaders.
Where are the other people?
They've all been infected.
Infected?
Welcome to my new body.
Thank you for coming, Gate Keeper clan.
Isuzu?
Number S-04G: Kikai Shogun.
It's been a long time since I've been called by that name.
Isuzu, attack with your cell phones!
Do you really think so?
What?
If the Aqualine is full of Invaders, there's thousands of them.
Yeah, but...
It's hopeless, okay?
You intended to corner the enemy, but got cornered yourselves!
Right now, you are pathetically powerless.
As a personal favor, I'll put you out of your misery quickly!
Isuzu...
I don't like this.
Uh?
I don't like the childish thought of sacrificing myself...
...to make everybody else happy.
- That's why... - Th-That's why...?
You're going to pick me up and jump as high as you can!
It's your rule to reclaim honor, right?
Understood!
Fire!
Gate Open!
What!
Even if you jump into the air, it will be the same!
Or so you thought!
Linking with the inboard computer of the UP-15!
Remote control mode. Gate engine full revolution...
...Start!
It's amazing, Isuzu!
I told you I didn't like that car.
That's absurd! That's absurd! That's absurd!
A being like myself with a mechanical body...
...destroyed by a mechanically produced gate!
Why not? It sounds cute.
I...I see! You are the blood relative of the one...
...who ruined my face in the past...
I'm really sorry.
I was too excited.
I never imagined we'd fall into the ocean.
Isn't it quiet?
But it's a little lonely, too.
It should always be this quiet.
- More importantly... - Uh, right!
So, this is what the aliens are made from.
No, it isn't. Invaders are infectious.
In the past, Invaders were lifeless machines.
But now, it's different.
Anyone without a heart who doesn't care about others...
...all carry the possibility of becoming an Invader.
You mean, this?
It's human.
The Shogun has disappeared. Exactly as I wanted.
From now on, more and more will disappear.
I can't wait.
Ima egao ga areba... If I have a smile today...
Kimi no egao ga areba... If I have your smile today...
Ikikirashi furimuita toki... When I ran out of breath and turned around...
...itsumo kimi ga ite ...you were always there
waraikaketa. Smiling at me.
Kujikesouna kokoro ni hibiku... Sure footsteps echoing in my heart...
...tashikana ashioto. ...as I near despair.
Aoi sora ni habataku In the blue sky, the birds fly
toori-tachi wa kanashimi wo... flapping their wings to shake off...
...furikitte yuku. ...their sadness.
Ima kibou ga aru yo. Now, there is hope.
Mune ni kibou ga aru yo. There is hope in my heart.
Imakoso akeyou... This time, let's open...
...asu e no gate. ...the gate to tomorrow.
Ima yuuki ga aru yo. Now, I have courage.
Atsui yuuki ga aru yo. I have passionate courage.
Dakara egao de tachiagarou. So, let's stand up smiling.
Get up, my heart!
Ima asu e habatake... Now, fly towards the future...
...my heart!
And then, the friends became parallel lines, never to cross paths again.
The passing summer days were like a whimsical rain shower.
Is it the girls' destiny to be manipulated?
