February 10th 05:59 Sakuradamon Grid Pillar of Heaven
Everyone be alert! Hold your positions!
Attention please.
My name is Initial-Y series Unit 1, RyuZU.
U-Um, I'm Initial-Y series Unit 4, AnchoR.
Now, this many be a bit sudden, but we bid thee farewell.
W-We won't make it hurt!
I'm sorry!
After 48 hours, this fresh air is really nice.
Episode 10 Progressor
You're having fun, eh?
Got 'em.
Two o'clock, in formation number 5.
All right.
Hey, you sure you can do this?
Just trust me.
How could I trust you?!
Well, trust the body you tuned, then.
You did an amazing job.
Now, shall we?
Oh, sorry.
Die.
Take this!
You're so rough!
I'll take care of you all at once!
What is this automaton?!
She's ridiculing our army with the body of a pleasure bot!
Take that!
There.
Now you're all exposed.
Hey, kid, nice ride you got.
We're friends, right?
Will you trade it for this cigarette?
Okay, sure.
Really? Let me know how the sky was later.
Thanks!
Don't hurt any humans?
Easier said than done, Naoto.
Now, thrust your hips for me as if your life depended on it!
You want me to hook Halter's brain up to a heavily armed automaton?
Are you nuts?
Actually, I think he could handle it.
Automata aren't made in such a way that you can hook up a human brain to them.
Well, with you, I had no qualms because I didn't care about the outcome.
You don't hold back, do you?
Besides, there's no precedent—
There is.
Directly wiring up a weapon and a brain.
The person who actually succeeded in doing that is this guy himself.
No way, I never...
Then it's settled.
Now, all we need to do is to get a suitable body.
What? You're talking about nabbing a heavily-armed
automaton from the middle of the enemy forces.
Who's supposed to do something crazy like th—
Who else but you, right?
I've been waiting to meet you, Genbu.
I have a condition.
What was the body that Halter used?
A HS-FK2 Oberon.
Those aren't deployed anywhere in this country.
Oberon, eh?
I want a CZ-35 Genbu.
It uses the same design philosophy as the Oberon,
and they should be deployed at the Pillar of Heaven, too.
Don't tell me you have all of the world's weapons blueprints—
Yup, memorized. Of course I do.
Are you shitting me?
This is amazing!
Hey, hey, is your thing crooked or something?
Payback! Enjoy my superior long rod!
Man, a smoke after doing the deed is something else.
Can you seriously not open your mouth without being filthy?!
Sorry for the wait.
I destroyed only the artificial intelligence unit of the heavily-armed automaton Genbu.
All other enemies have been taken out.
Is there anything I missed from your order?
I can't believe it. You really did it.
Now, it's your turn.
I know!
If I mess up,
Halter's just going to...
Want me to tell you something?
You know, soldiers are made to live and die on the battlefield.
Knowing that old man Halter,
even if he's dead, smelling the scent of the battlefield will bring him back.
In the worst imaginable mood to boot.
Marie, they're gathering again.
You'll have...
Thirty seconds.
Got it?
Yes.
I'll do it!
If I make even one single mistake, Halter will never come back.
Dismantling and removing all 2,876 parts of the destroyed processing unit: 4.2 seconds.
Connecting all the parts: 7.6 seconds.
Testing the nerves: 6.1 seconds.
Tuning the control unit: 4.9 seconds.
Rebooting the chassis: 3.3 seconds.
4.1 seconds until consciousness returns.
A total of 26 seconds.
Come on, that means I have over three seconds of leeway.
My hands are too slow.
Move faster!
Hey, Naoto, is that woman really human?
Yes, that's a genius for you.
More amazing than amazing, Mother is a genius!
AnchoR, don't be mistaken.
That's merely the limit of what humans are capable of.
For... now.
I am starting to see.
Every part of this machine that I'm touching.
My perception is going further and further.
If I want, I can keep going forever.
I could even grasp the entire city.
That's an SK30 self-propelled artillery unit!
Crap, that projectile flies at supersonic speed.
Oh, no! They haven't noticed.
Even Naoto can't hear projectiles that fly that fast.
I thought I had connected everything perfectly!
Wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, Halter!
You bastard.
Who's the little shit who pointed that gun at me? Huh?
Halter...
Halter!
Yeah!
Huh? What's going on here?
You hooked me up to an automaton?
What are you doing?
I'd like to ask you what you've been doing first!
Oh, yeah, sorry. I was asleep.
Asleep?
It's been a long time since I actually slept as deeply as that.
I just got so sleepy once my sensory receptors were disconnected.
What?
Old man, how do you feel?
Just fine. I mean, this is the work of our princess.
Then I've got some work for you right away.
You're in charge right now?
All right, what are your orders?
Destroy all of the remaining 378 enemy units
without killing anyone within 38 seconds. Okay?
What? That's so easy.
Whoa, that's wild.
He won't even need 38 seconds.
Hey, Princess.
This body is a bit heavy, but otherwise it's great.
Of course it is! Who do you think tuned it?
You guys are unlucky.
I just woke up, and I'm simply in the worst mood imaginable.
This is unbelievable.
The security forces of the Pillar of Heaven were overrun in mere minutes.
And at the front of the group headed for the entrance is the boy who attacked Akihabara!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Do you remember my voice?
I went out of my way to set up the party in Akihabara,
but you let yourselves be wiped out so easily.
You guys from the army, you're seriously too weak!
Those bastards from Shiga are connected to this brat!
Listen up!
We hereby swear that we're going all out and tossing
the entire multiple grid that comprises Tokyo into the abyss!
Yeah!
What?!
Oh, excuse me!
I can't believe I forgot that I had a guest.
Hey, come on.
It's Her Highness, Hoshinomiya.
Please listen calmly.
These people have seized the Pillar of Heaven,
which is the facility that governs the city of Tokyo,
as well as all of this country's Core Towers.
This broadcast should be more than ample proof of that.
To all citizens, please remain calm.
I ask you to swiftly evacuate the capital area.
No need for me to stay here.
I need to make my report to Meister Marie quickly.
Marvelous. Now the Yatsukahagi has become their pawn.
However, they even claimed responsibility for the crimes we committed.
Do they think themselves saviors or something?
Divert all energy to the main cannon's charger!
Prioritize the main cannon's charger!
Now, Y, can you read my next move?
Sorry for the wait, Meister Marie.
I have some bad news.
We got word from Karasawa, who was spying on the Japanese government.
They are going to use the Tall Wand against the Yatsukahagi.
Huh?
The Tall Wand will be dropped at exactly 14:00 today.
Six hours and 45 minutes from now.
What?
This joy is what I live for.
Even the gods are envious of the treasure that is my lap.
It is the definition of unrivaled luxury.
Father, I want permission.
Oh, sure! Jump on your dad's belly!
Father, you're so warm.
There can't possibly be anyone who is happier than me at this moment.
If we can bring down the Yatsukahagi,
the government won't use the Tall Wand, either.
Everybody, please begin your work immediately.
Yes!
May I have a word?
Meister Konrad, could you please take over a bit?
It's been a while, Marie.
I think the last time was your funeral.
Even if that coffin was empty.
You're still wearing that.
Of course.
An important friend made it for me. It's a precious gift.
Wait, you know each other?
Yes.
We met at the university in Europe where I was spending a year studying abroad.
Well, Marie graduated in just a month, however.
If I hadn't been goofing off with you, I would have graduated in a week.
Oh! That almost makes it sound like I got in your way!
Come on, you dragged me around everywhere.
Could you tell me now, then?
What are you planning on doing with the Pillar of Heaven?
I suppose.
How much do you know about the giant weapon that appeared in Akihabara?
According to the information I got, the old army of Shiga is behind it,
and they are attempting a coup d'état.
And judging from the situation, it's an electromagnetic weapon. That's about it.
Impressive.
So it's true?
Yes.
That attack caused all of Akihabara to be magnetized.
But if we can get rid of that giant weapon and demagnetize the city,
repairs would be possible.
That's why we're going to light a fire under its butt.
We're turning up the heat in Akihabara to a cozy 2000 degrees.
And the only thing that can do that is this Pillar of Heaven.
He's the one who came up with the entire plan.
Oh, no! I'm going to die. Too much happiness.
Father, you can't die!
Don't worry! As long as you're here, I'm invincible!
Father!
Oh, no! I'm dying.
As you can see, he's the biggest idiot imaginable.
But he's an idiot who gets things done when they're needed.
All right, I figured it out.
Marie, let's do it.
Right.
So he truly analyzed the Pillar of Heaven using only sound.
Isn't it ridiculous?
Yes.
But you of all people believe him.
I don't want to say this, but his existence is a serious concern for the public safety.
I agree.
Before something unexpected happens, we need to—
Ow!
If you have a death wish, please take a half a step forward.
I promise to provide you with the world's most painless euthanasia.
If you do anything to Father...
I apologize. You may lower that.
Hello, RyuZU? Don't just fly away like that. I hit my head!
I am sorry.
But perhaps your pathetic brain cells were invigorated a little?
Harsh.
Pain, pain, go away!
They're going away, away!
He's a strange person.
He's just an idiot.
I'm going back to work.
Marie, why doesn't he work with you?
He's done more than enough already.
So the rest is for me.
He's someone I don't want to lose to.
All right, this is good.
AnchoR?
Mother.
I asked you to stop calling me that.
What's up? Where are Naoto and RyuZU?
Father said he has something important to discuss with my sister.
Something important, huh?
Oh, well.
AnchoR, if you're free, could you help me?
Yes!
Wow, they're flowers! Flowers!
They're real, too!
Master Naoto, what sort of kink made you bring me to a place like this?
RyuZU, I feel like you've been avoiding looking at me.
That is not true at all.
What's more, the more pertinent issue is that your ego is so out of control
that you thought I would be looking at you all the time.
RyuZU.
Why?
I don't dare.
I have caused these irreversible wounds
to the hands that hold the destiny of this planet.
Master Naoto, I am so sorry.
As long as you're safe, it's fine.
Can't you just think of them as my medal of masculinity?
I cannot.
Please punish your servant for being so useless.
All right, close your eyes.
You can open your eyes.
Master Naoto?
This is a punishment?
Yes, a punishment.
I made this ring.
You might not like it,
but you have to wear it all the time.
I'm afraid to inform you that this gesture
may only be successfully executed by one with an acceptable appearance
It's only for handsome guys, if you will.
So ruthless.
Promise that you will never do something like this again.
Yes, I'm sor—
This one time only. Never again.
I know, RyuZU.
In sickness and in health,
Master Naoto.
The time of the Tall Wand drop and the Yatsukahagi moving again draws ever closer.
Marie and the others work relentlessly,
but Gennai's deep-rooted delusions crush everything into a pit of despair.
Even then, Naoto attempts to cling to hope.
Next time, "Theory of Y."
It seriously disgusts me, but you're a genius, aren't you?!
All this time, hasn't it been your talent making my random power into something useful?!
