The hero of the Meister Guild who prevented the purge of
the Kyoto Grid from happening, Marie Bell Breguet.
They say that something collapsed on her during her desperate repairs.
But it's odd.
The funeral is too soon for someone who's just missing.
This could turn out to be more fun than I thought.
I will meet AnchoR...
I won't meet her.
January 20th, 16:45, Kyoto Grid
I will meet her...
I won't.
You have done that 137 times now.
I believe your pointless behavior itself should have spoken volumes by now.
AnchoR was not there!
We almost died! We put RyuZU in danger!
God, do you hear my lament?!
You've also done that one 167 times.
What are you fooling around for?
You! The root of all evil! You bringer of bad luck!
He's not holding back.
It's been a while.
What is your business?
I hope you're not trying to involve Master Naoto in some strange affair again.
Who do you think I am?
I just wanted to ask for a little help.
Help?
That's right.
Help with saving the world real quick.
Wha?
There are countless cities on this planet
that are being torn apart by seedy conspiracies.
We're going to get in, tear everything apart, and then repair it all!
I bet it will feel amazing.
So help me out.
Hmph, why should I help with that?
You know, I could help look for AnchoR with my information network.
What? No, this and that aren't—
Come on, just come with us.
I won't let you talk me into this!
AnchoR!
Episode 5 Trishula "One who annihilates"
I don't like the smell of this place.
Be careful.
When is it not like that?
Right, we're always on our guard.
Wait!
What is this feeling?
What is that?
A kid?
No, that's...
You bastard!
What?!
What is this?!
Strega! Amaretto!
You bastard!
What is this?
Is this for real?
You bastard. You wanna destroy the world?
You're so annoying. I couldn't even get a hit in.
You're here.
See, only someone messed up can do something about that messed up bunch.
I'm counting on you, li'l ghost girl.
One week after the narrowly avoided purge of the Kyoto Grid,
it's become apparent, through an anonymous statement to various press outlets,
that this incident was a joint operation between the government, the military,
and the Meister Guild. One after the other,
those responsible are either resigning or being punished.
Look at his face!
Serves you right, you Vacheron shitface!
Looks like your mood's improved.
About one caramel candy's worth.
Raw yatsuhashi with caramel sauce
I was so ready to go wild,
but thanks to that idiot Naoto, we're stuck here!
How can he do so poorly that he has to retake a test?
There are times when rushing won't help.
Sometimes you just have to wait.
Oh, thank you for your valuable opinion, Big Brother.
Can we not do that, please?
Marie is dead.
I am Maëribell Halter.
I'm supposed to be the giant's innocent little sister.
Isn't that right, Big Brother?
Please stop. I'm going to puke.
Would you prefer this cover...
Daddy?
Enough sightseeing.
Let's go home.
Oh, Princess, I just received something weird.
Something weird?
On this planet that was rebuilt solely with gears 1,000 years ago,
the use of electromagnetism, which can adversely affect gears, is banned,
so communication methods were switched from radio waves to resonating gears.
Wait, what was electromagnetism again?
It's the control of electricity and magnetism.
But nowadays, it has very little value.
What is this high-pitched...
Of all things, the stain on the ceiling is more interesting than me?
No, not at all! That's not what it was.
"If I can be with you, RyuZU, not even studying is a chore."
Was that just a lie?
I'm intruding!
No, just got home!
Now is the time to fully engage your degenerate ways in the worst way possible!
Now tell me, you pervert!
What?
Abusing Master Naoto in front of me like that...
You must be prepared for the consequences.
What are you doing! Let go of—
Just give it a rest!
What's going on?
I want you to trace a certain transmission.
A short-wave radio transmission.
I just learned that that's illegal...
Sometimes there are special jobs where rules simply don't apply.
Didn't you hear a "weird noise," just now?
I imagine it would have been extremely high-pitched.
I think that's asking too much, really.
Yeah, it came from there. About 88 degrees?
Seriously?
Eighty-eight degrees, you say?
Hey!
With short-wave, knowing the direction and the reflection angle
is enough to triangulate the origin.
So that would be...
Mie!
That's around the industrial complex.
You guys come, too!
Huh, why us?
Anyway, what did that transmission even say?
Um, that's...
I am curious as to what sort of emergency transmission you have intercepted
that would lead you to believe you may treat Master Naoto like this.
You will, of course, tell us, won't you?
Hey, let me down!
Ow!
I'll relay the contents.
"Hey, bitch.
The li'l girl ghost seems to be rather full of herself.
Is your hole sad because you aren't getting any?
Try begging for it.
There's a bunch of guys with big cocks just waiting to knock down your door for cheap.
That's what they sent out to somewhere around here.
Why is Marie so mad?
It must be true.
If your hole is sad, there is a perfect place—
That is so not the issue!
Li'l girl ghost!
That's definitely talking about me, since I'm supposed to be dead!
What do you plan to do once you find the sender?
Capture them, tie them up, and hang them, of course!
Now, let's go!
They seem to have requested you, Miss Marie.
I believe you ought to go by yourself.
If I remember correctly, there's a beach there.
Not something you see often in Japan.
White sand, gleaming sun.
I bet bathing suits would look so good there.
Let's go, Marie!
To restore your honor!
You're good.
It's just about highlighting what's in it for him.
Still, I wonder...
if that transmission was meant simply to provoke.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock...
I'm so sleepy.
A room full of toys.
Puzzles.
Bunny.
That house... Where was it again?
Big Sister.
Mie Grid
I'm surprised you allowed this beach break.
I'm going to make him work extra hard
for every second he enjoys himself here.
You're scary.
I haven't done something like this in ages.
I think the last time was when I was still studying.
I wonder what Houko is up to.
So beautiful! Amazing!
No, that doesn't begin to do it justice!
Right, it's more like, absolute perfection!
Master Naoto, it's questionable that you keep repeating the obvious
with your poor vocabulary.
But I suppose this is acceptable.
And now, please turn around.
Yes! Make your hair flow in the wind!
Master Naoto!
Ow. I'm sorry, RyuZU.
As usual, you're quite skilled at making it look like an accident.
Master Naoto, if it is your wish,
to unleash your utmost perverted, bestial, carnal desires on me,
I would not object.
No, wait, is this all right?
Am I allowed to sully RyuZU's impeccable and perfect body,
which is the ultimate work of art?
Isn't beauty supreme because it is in an untouchable place?
Oh concept of beauty, psyche of the spirit, what should I do as a man?!
Master Naoto!
What are you doing?!
We're not here for a rom-com!
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
How dare you do that to my Master Naoto?!
Shut up! He's alive again, so you should thank me.
With your tiny, worm-sized brain, you can't—
Hey, it's time to go.
Mie Grid, Outer Heavy Industry District
It's seriously hot here.
If there was at least a little breeze going...
Ever since the neighboring Shiga Grid was purged 30 years ago,
this place lost its four seasons.
Things are at their limit.
In many regards.
Quiet, please.
I can't hear anything.
Hey! What are you suggesting?!
No, it's really strange.
Isn't it too quiet for this hour?
This case was—
What's going on?
It's like a ghost town.
That's not all.
That clock tower there has stopped.
Actually, it's empty.
Do you know what you're saying?
A city can only work if the Core Tower and the clock tower are working.
There's nothing that can be changed in that system.
That's what I mean.
This city is already dead. It has been for a long time now.
That's the reason there isn't any wind here.
Everything is severed.
I got it!
There's an Initial Y-Series unit here!
What are you on about?
I see. That would make sense.
What?
It means that something here was of such importance that it warranted
the use of illegal radio waves to transmit a message.
Right, that's what I wanted to say!
Then the true meaning of that message is the problem.
I believe that message was quite to the point.
Do you want me to disassemble you?!
It's animal nature to beckon the opposite sex by wagging their tail
when their hole is sad.
Master Marie, you have traveled all the way here to beg for it, as well.
I am a virgin!
Enough.
Let's go to the transmission source.
Are you serious?
It's fine.
The party who stopped the Kyoto purge is here together.
With this group, getting into a factory should be a piece of cake.
All right! I'm coming for you, AnchoR!
The hair on my neck is standing up.
Wow, RyuZU!
Beautiful! Wonderful!
Human sensor, be quiet and focus on listening.
Yeah, yeah.
AnchoR, I'm on my way! Just you wait!
He's behaving like he's at a picnic.
Well, let's do a quick sweep and leave if we don't find anything.
It should be somewhere around here.
A hole in the bottom floor?!
Looks as if something tore through it.
It's underneath here.
That can't be.
Why not?
This planet's crust and mantle
were stripped and mined for resources, over a thousand years ago.
There's nothing under here but a 5000km-deep abyss.
But there's a really spacious floor and a really big something under here.
Fine, let's go down.
Master Naoto, excuse me.
Don't let your guard down.
I've had a bad feeling since we got here.
I know, no matter how you look at this, it's not normal.
Such a terrible fate.
It's the same kind of damage as the hole above.
Could this guy have sent the message?
Who knows?
Marie, over here.
Hang on. I'm not a freak who can get by with just sound.
Wha...
What... is this?
It's obviously...
some kind of abomination.
Undoubtedly, a violation of the military arsenal treaty.
A weapon of mass destruction.
Naoto, how big is it?
Height: 320 meters. Length: 932 meters.
All of the clock tower's parts have been used in constructing this thing.
What?!
I see, so this is what killed this city.
We put our lives on the line just to keep the cities ticking,
but then there are people who are gutting them for parts
in order to build weapons that could destroy the entire planet?
And it's ready to go.
Not on my watch! We're tearing this thing apart!
Are you serious?
How are you going to do that?
I'll figure it out somehow!
I already decided that I am going to destroy
these kinds of seedy plans, and repair this planet!
Don't move, Marie!
A kid?
No, an automaton.
So this is where you've been, AnchoR.
AnchoR? This is her?
But what is with that mask?
Your taste is a little lacking.
AnchoR?
Wrong.
Threat level category 2.
Requesting Power Reserve change.
Acknowledged.
Differential ring to number 3.
Beginning shift.
Beginning imaginary output through the Chrono Hook: Perpetual Gear.
Materializing now.
Absolute maneuver,
Bloody Murder.
Dodge!
In the darkness, there was another Initial Y-Series unit, AnchoR.
Relentless attacks rain down on everybody.
Their destructive power warps the gears that had just begun to mesh,
and shoves them into an abyss of eternal darkness.
Next time, "Deep Underground."
You're a child.
If a girl cries like a girl, nobody is going to say anything.
