February 10th 14:40 Akihabara Grid
I'm off, then.
AnchoR, promise to come back.
Announcing classification, Initial-Y series, Unit 4, "One who annihilates," AnchoR.
Differential ring number 13, initiate self-destruct sequence.
Beginning imaginary output through the Limitless Engine—
Perpetual Gear, materializing now.
Final maneuver, Steel Weight!
Y, in your despair,
I want you to learn how heavy the crime of twisting the world really was.
Marie! I'm finishing up the tourbillon and hooking it up to the bypass!
I'm going to handle #15,000 by myself.
I'll wrap up #19,000!
This is no longer repairing.
They are giving birth to brand new gears right here.
I promise that I'm going to cook that huge thing!
So AnchoR, please!
I am the "one who annihilates,"
the "one who devastates," the "one who destroys everything."
So I am going... to destroy that!
Episode 12 Steel Weight
I'm going to pierce it with everything I've got.
Break!
Naoto, I'm passing you the bearing for #20,326!
Okay, they meshed!
Shit, shit, shit, shit!
I'm gonna die!
I'm seriously gonna die!
If you can still talk, we're totally fine.
Less than three minutes now!
I know!
Right now, that huge thing is using 1,033 clockwork generators at full capacity
to charge its energy.
I'm going to break all of them!
So please, hold out just a bit longer, body!
1,002 to go.
This is bad. They're becoming more and more indiscriminate.
What the hell? Are they planning on blowing us up with the pillar?!
Dude!
Ah!
Unbelievable!
Crap, we ended up being a burden to our princess.
So now the last shred of hope is gone?
I wonder. That's quite a sturdy shred.
And right now, there are two of them working together.
How much of a setback was this?
This isn't a mere setback. The damage is critical.
But it seems that they have no intention of giving up at all.
This is no good. We have to create a different bypass.
Already on it!
It seems that I have won.
Gennai Hirayama.
Did you learn your lesson, Y?
You, who so easily twisted this world and rebuilt it.
Do you understand the depression of those who can't resist,
the regret of those who lack power?
The true despair?
Know how humanity has suffered!
Don't be so full of yourself!
Who do you think you are that you can speak for humanity?
Don't be so full of yourself, old man.
Why do you think you get to speak for all humanity?
We will...
...never lose hope!
I see...
Y was two people.
No matter how much praise you may heap on humanity, I won't accept it.
You are not human!
What is going on?
The charge has decreased?
One of Y's dolls, huh?
It hurts!
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much!
But... I can't stop.
If I can't even destroy this thing, why did you make me?
It's not firing?
I don't think this means their prediction was wrong.
I bet this is AnchoR—
Don't say it! Keep working!
I-I still have to destroy all of these.
Father, Mother.
It seems railguns work well on Y's dolls, too.
The charge has been delayed, but the main cannon will soon fire on its own.
Your efforts were in vain.
Humans have won.
I couldn't destroy it.
Even though I'm the one who annihilates.
Even though all I know is destruction.
Father. Mother.
Here you go, AnchoR!
Thank you, Father!
So it's for you, Mother.
AnchoR, if you're free, could you help me?
Yes!
I'm sorry!
What?!
Sis...ter?
It is the duty of a servant to faithfully follow the orders of her master.
Additionally,
it is an older sister's responsibility to take care of her younger sister.
Killing me now would be pointless.
The main cannon will fire momentarily.
What?!
Why is it not firing?!
It's simple.
With the time that AnchoR bought, our master was able to unleash his abilities.
That's all.
I do think that there might have been a minuscule amount of help from someone.
Unbelievable!
The holy tree has been completely reborn?
It looks like you made it in time.
But we passed the time we promised AnchoR.
It's fine! I am certain that RyuZU will bring her back!
All right, boys, girls, geezers, and etc!
No time to rest!
A ton of reinforcements are coming up from below!
We need to find a way out, or we're in serious trouble.
It's right in front of you.
What are you talking about? Jumping down from here is suicide!
Not really. We just need to use the weather control to create a updraft, right?
Your intuition's getting better, Marie.
I'm leaving you in charge of the controls!
Wow, seriously?
Naoto, you're totally up my alley!
Princess, would that even work on this huge thing?
Who do you think I am?
My apologies.
You're going?
Yes, I'll leave the rest to you.
Don't worry.
I will do everything in my power to make you out to be the biggest criminals ever.
Thank you, Marie.
I guess I couldn't win in the end.
What are you even talking about?
You are sorely mistaken if you think that a loser like you, who couldn't even
win against himself, was actually fighting with Master Naoto.
I won't accept it.
You can't call something that so easily manipulates the world the work of humans.
Ugly and pathetic, suffering infinite amounts of defeat,
and then getting a tiny taste of victory...
That is what it means to be human.
Hey, we're not going to smash into the ground, right?
It's fine. The updraft is coming!
Three, two, one, zero!
February 11th 06:37 Ariake Grid
AnchoR!
It's fine.
It was really close, but she has not suffered fatal damage.
Marie and I can definitely repair her!
I'm so glad.
I'm... sorry.
I couldn't destroy it.
Even though that's all I'm good for.
After I disobeyed you and left.
AnchoR.
I'm sorry.
What should I do?
I don't know.
I want an order.
Then I'll give you an order.
Naoto?
Hold your head high and say, "I did my best. I want you to praise me."
I did my best?
Yeah! There is nobody who tries harder than you!
Am I allowed to think that I want to be praised?
Of course! Whoa!
AnchoR, because you worked so hard, we made it in time!
Mother.
You're so good. You did so well!
Sorry for the wait, Meister Marie.
I've come to bring you what you ordered.
I'm sorry for always asking you.
But you've really helped us out. Thank you.
No, I'm honored that I can be of help.
But that looks so fake.
That's all there was.
Even here, the pursuers are closing in.
The weather's like this, but you can't rest for too long.
This is optimal for losing our pursuers.
Well, shall we?
February 25th 14:21 South China Sea
The multiple grid took a huge hit, but it seems that there is
finally an end in sight for the repairs.
The Akihabara Grid, which had seen the most damage by far,
was able to evade an irreparable fate, as the entire grid itself
had been heated up randomly.
AnchoR?!
Mother!
Your repairs are finally finished!
Yes.
You can't really call that first aid a repair.
Once I get his brain to spill your blueprint, I'll fix you to perfection.
The hell you will!
I'm the one who will repair AnchoR!
If I leave it to you and RyuZU,
all you'll do is create another pervert like you!
What did you say?!
That was entirely uncalled for.
Yeah! You tell her, RyuZU!
However, if it means having Master Naoto cheat on me with my sister,
then perhaps having Miss Marie take care of her is a possibility.
Wh-What are you talking about, RyuZU?
AnchoR, which of us do you prefer, me or that walking landmine?
Of course you prefer me over that ultra pervert.
Um...
I like it the best when you're both together.
Asking a child if they prefer mom or dad is a textbook example of bad parenting.
Who are you calling dad?!
Who are you calling mom?!
Hey, both of you.
Sorry to interrupt your party, but this is quite serious!
Yeah, I heard. A big fleet's coming for us right now.
Hey... Why didn't you say anything?
I had a good idea.
Which means it's a bad idea.
Let's blow up the fleet and take over a battleship!
You're seriously so stupid.
Hey, miss, do you believe in the gears of fate?
Unfortunately, I do not have the capability of assessing that.
However, in this world made entirely of gears, everything is as it shall be.
As an automaton, I choose to believe so.
Sounds fun! I was really getting bored!
I'm fine with doing this, but we can't afford any mistakes here.
We're traveling all over to overhaul the entire planet.
When we're all together, there's no way we're gonna fail.
