My Loki!
Okay, next!
Rebuild our formation!
Akira!
Minami, go!
Leave it to me, Aoi!
Ready!
Fire!
There's one more!
Charge!
Akira, don't push yourself too hard!
Don't worry about me!
I'll end it here!
Jun, get him!
I made it.
You lose.
Ren, that's not fair!
Yes!
Nice one, Ren!
That was so cool!
Dang, we were so close.
What's wrong, Akira?
Nothing.
Hey, wait, Akira.
Are they fighting?
Good work today!
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
What's up with Haruma?
He said his mom's sick and he has to constantly take care of her.
Oh, it's lights out.
Don't worry.
You know Haruma. He must be training like crazy with the Shibuya team.
Akira!
Let's do our best to win the qualifiers so we can fight Haruma!
I'm leaving the team today.
What are you saying?
Your real teammate is Haruma.
Not me.
I don't have a Ring of Beginning, anyway.
Wait, Akira...
Why?
The main power should be down at this hour.
Hey, isn't that room...
The Monster Summoning Room!
Please, help me!
Wh-Who are you?
You're in the way.
Get lost.
Hey, explain what's going on!
If that's what you want...
We'll fight, too!
I've seen him before...
Me, too!
I've seen him somewhere!
This guy...
I'll defeat him.
Akira!
I don't need your help!
It's dangerous to fight alone!
We got him!
You okay?
Thanks.
Who was that guy?
Genome.
They're trying to use the War Gods to take over the world.
War Gods?
Now, open the Door of Time and Space.
No...
Don't let him get through!
Ren!
Akira!
Akira?
Where did he go?
They're headed to four years ago.
Four years ago?
So the Door of Time and Space really...
Please, open that bag again!
We have to follow them!
It's broken.
My power is useless unless there's Gate energy close by.
Then what do we do?
Hey...
Aren't you guys remembering anything?
Four years ago...
Haruma was there, too.
We all...
The guy who just appeared out of nowhere and helped us...
The one who was a little older?
You think that guy was...
Yeah.
Which means, if we go back there...
There'll be another Gate!
Yes... If there's a Gate, we can time travel.
Let's go.
Now it's our turn!
To The Place of Beginnings
This... is what he's after?

Ren.
Once, humanity lived with red dragons.
The dragons weren't scary creatures at all.
But at some point, humanity lost the hearts they had that believed in dragons.
Don't leave me...
Don't leave me, Daddy.
Crap!

Off to the lab again?
Yup.
See you later!
Ren, make sure you're back by dinner, okay?
Okay!
Brother's been going to the lab every day.
Kaminohara Elementary Class 4-2 Ren Homura
See you there!
Hello!
I heard that place used to be a science museum.
Really?
I wonder why you can't go in anymore...
That's Grandpa.
And Haruma's mom and dad, too.
The Self-Defense Force?
That's the JSSDF. The Japan Special Self-Defense Force.
Let's go.
Yeah.
No Entry
Ren, they told you not to do that!
Don't worry about it!
Kaminohara Stadium
Hello!
Hi there.
Glad you made it.
Ren!
Oh, right!
Kaminohara...
Fight!
Yeah!
It's so powerful, I can't use it right.
Don't worry, Aoi.
Nice, Minami!
Ren, let's regroup.
I'm not done yet!
This will finish it!
Yes!
Ren, you're too rough!
Someone's gonna get hurt!
We're all fighting together.
Don't try to do it all yourself.
I won, so it's fine, right?
Let's play again!
He's a very energetic boy, isn't he?
Ren Homura. Your grandson, if I recall?
After the vast amount of money the state department has put into this project,
you're changing your attitude now?
You're quite the crafty fellow, aren't you?
We were both using one another.
Excuse me.
Understood.
Secure them immediately.
We've confirmed the existence of the boy.
We'll find out where he is soon.
So, today marks our last visit here.
Why don't you give us a look at it now?
I'm hungry!
Hey, Haruma,
are your parents not coming home again tonight?
Yeah.
Your grandpa too, right, Ren?
It must be tough, being a scientist.
Not really.
They're grown-ups, and they're doing what they love.
How is that tough at all?
Look! It's so pretty!
But that's a weird sound!
Morning!
Hey.
It showed up again!
What did?
The ghost at the stadium! What else?
Ogawacchi saw it yesterday, he said!
That was dangerous, you jerks!
Jerks!
JSSDF
The JSSDF...
Class 4-2's Goals
"Let's sneak into that stadium"?
To do what?
To take ghost photos!
I'm sure something horrible happened there!
What? What do you mean, "horrible"?
By "horrible," I mean...
You'll get cursed!
I'm going, too! I want to see the horrible stadium!
But you were crying during the test of courage at the last sleepover.
You said you'd keep that a secret!
I'll never forgive you for—
Please forgive me.
Bye!
Hey, Ren!
Let's play a game at my place!
Sorry!
I've got something to do.
What are you doing after school lately?
Um... well...
Ren, let's go.
Where have you guys been going all the time?
Where else?
On a date!
Da—
I'm so jealous!
Yuji, you want to go on a date, too?
O-Of course not!
Let's go!
I want to go on a date—
Just come on!
Let's get going.
O-On a date?
Dummy.
You gonna play with Arthur again today?
Yeah, that's the plan.
She's too hard to use.
I can't use her right at all.
Well, even if you mess up, I'll still win for us.
Ren, I think you could stand to think about teamwork and stuff a little more.
Yeah, I know...
But if you don't get strong yourself, there's no point.
Ow!
It landed upright!
It's going to rain tomorrow!
By the way, I heard there are rumors about a ghost appearing at the stadium.
I heard about that!
We're really just making a game, though!
That's right. Akemi said she's so scared of the ghost,
- she can't sleep at night. - Is that true?
Is it true that Grandpa and the others are making a new game?
What do you mean?
Listen, there was something like those monsters in the papers my dad collected...
You finally realized, huh?
R-Realized what?
The grown-ups are hiding it, but those monsters are actually...
space aliens!
Then why are we playing the game?
To gather power to summon a UFO, of course!
You just want to see a UFO, don't you, Minami?
Don't you, Aoi?
I do, but...
That's got nothing to do with this.
It's here.
See you there!
Ren, wait!
Hello!
Huh?
He's not here.
Maybe he had to pee?
Was this always broken?
Ren, what's wrong?
It's open.
Looks like nobody's here!
Let's go back.
They told us never to go in there.
Just a little bit won't hurt!
Come on!
What do we do?
Let's wait here.
We can't let him go in there alone.
It'll be fine, okay?
Kaminohara Children's Science Museum
Wow!
What kind of dinosaur is this?
A Chasmosaurus.
I think this one's a baby.
You're really smart!
So what's this monster called?
A microraptor.
It's not a monster, it's a dinosaur.
Actually, it's a bird.
That's the same thing, isn't it?
It's so big!
What kind of dinosaur is this?
It's, uh... A Spinosaurus, I think?
A dragon...
It's that sound.
Anybody who's scared, stay here.
I'm fine, though.
I'll wait here!
Okay. We'll be right back.
I can't find the bathroom!
I'm opening it.
I can't hold it...
The toes are facing upwards,
so does that mean it'll snow tomorrow?
What is this?
I knew it wasn't just a game!
He's the guy who was with Grandpa yesterday.
Hey, if they find us, they'll get really mad...
Wait, Ren!
You guys! Big trouble!
This is no time for playing around!
There's big trouble!
I was going to pee, and there were people!
I was so scared!
Outside... outside...
Are you okay?
Stay quiet!
They're gonna find us!
But I really had to pee,
and the boot was pointing up, so I thought that meant snow,
but there was a leg attached, and...
You can tell us later!
Who's there?
Run!
Stop!
Why are there children here?
It's those kids!
Come in, HQ.
We have several intruders that appear to be childr—
Hey, they're just kids!
What are you thinking?
You can't shoot kids!
We were ordered to get rid of any unnecessary witnesses.
Find them and eliminate them.
Not that I don't have other ways of handling them.
Who were those guys?
Ren!
Your cheek...
So that was a real gun...
Let's get out of here.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, I think it's just a scratch... - Um, I was outside and...
Now, you kids should know better.
This is no place for children to play.
Huh? Where's Minami?
Come over here.
Move, please!
What do I do?
I couldn't find the bathroom!
There's something really wrong with this place!
There's no bathroom!
Hey! What did you do?!
It's stopping!
Ren, your butt!
This is Dad's...
Everybody stay put.
Wh-What was that?
S-Some kind of creature?
It was big!
A monster!
Th-This is all a game too, right?
What do we do?
It's big!
Monsters don't exist!
They do too!
I'm scared!
What do we do?
It's gonna eat us!
W-Wait, Ren!
You'll be safer here!
It's gonna eat you!
But at some point, humanity lost the hearts they had that believed in dragons.
A red dragon...
It's okay!
He's not scary!
Idiots!
You released the limits on how much energy comes through the Gates?
Let's start with one.
What is this?
He...
...protected us?
It looks like he's suffering...
Hey, Haruma's dad is up there.
Keep quiet and watch.
Attack on Target A confirmed effective.
Target B, Target C, Target D, Target E.
All attacks confirmed effective.
How could you...
This is a wonderful power, isn't it?
Do you know what you're doing?
If it feeds off the energy coming from beyond the Gate,
it can become the ultimate weapon.
Its overwhelming power will rid this world of all war.
Unknown intruder detected!
Repeat: Unknown intruder detected!
It's him.
It's no good!
We can't stop him!
Send the monster unit immediately.
We'll leave for now.
What's going on?
What happened to them?
Get the lock on the door for me.
Who are you?
In other words,
someone named "Genome" is trying to revive a monster called a "War God" here?
Yes.
The people outside surely have something to do with them.
And this War God probably can't be defeated with Kamui, the monster I used before.
So this time we have to deal with something called a War God, huh?
This time?
That dragon came out of this Gate, too.
Several years ago, a mysterious energy signal was observed here.
We dug deep into the earth to analyze and retrieve this energy.
Of course, this was a Class-1 Classified project.
What we found was this Gate.
And at the same time, a life form came through the Gate.
And it was this...
The Oraternative Dragon.
I'm sorry I never told you, Ren.
That's right.
It's what your father spent his life searching for.
We were surprised at first, too.
I never thought I'd see a real dragon.
If what you say is true, we have no choice but to close the Gate.
But that's impossible.
We can't alter the Gate unless we move that dragon.
But we lack the technology to move something that size.
Store it in this.
Monster Strike... It's a beta version?
Jigobytes of memory?
This is enough...
But who are you?
Someone's going to take the dragon inside the Gate?
Basically, this Gate is a one-way street.
The energy continually pours out into this side.
It's difficult to move something from this side of the Gate to the other side.
The game you were playing
was developed to expend the energy stored inside the dragon.
I'm sorry we got you involved.
So what do we do after we store it?
According to the documents Ren's father left,
there is a single Gate we know of that goes both ways.
The place where he disappeared.
It's shut down now,
but with the energy of this dragon, it's possible that...
Okay, it found the dragon.
Here we go.
We successfully stored it?
Hey!
Ren, what are you doing?
You're crazy, Ren!
But somebody has to go, right?
So I'll go!
I'll go, too!
Why do you always leave me?
Haruma!
It may be safer than staying here.
Use the auto-nav app to go to the parking lot.
There's a van with a self-driving system.
I'll set the destination from here.
Okay.
Mom, don't worry.
With that dragon gone, I should be able to close the Gate!
Why?
Why won't it close?
It's okay.
I think I can use it.
Okay, we'll run the whole way.
Wait. Let's be careful!
There's no point in staying here.
Let's chance it and go.
Fine, I'll go by myself!
Enough screwing around, Ren.
What's gotten into you?
If you're scared, stay here.
What?
Hey, you two!
Is now the time to be fighting?
No sign of that monster.
Where's the boy?
No idea.
It was stored within his smartphone.
Deploy platoons 1 and 2.
Find the boy with the glasses!
They're after the smartphone you have.
Listen.
You guys need to save the world.
And you can't do it unless you work together.
You're comrades.
If you forget that, you'll regret it.
Use this instead, okay?
The password is...
0515.
Don't use your birthday as a password.
How did you know my birthday?
Make sure you pull it off.
There he is!
That's the boy!
Commander, we found him.
Did he have it?
This is all he had.
A beta version?
What's the meaning of this?
There's a moving vehicle!
A van is heading for the exit!
How do you like the van I made?
Hey!
Put together a pursuit force from platoon 3.
The kids in the vehicle have the smartphone.
Professor.
There's no change to the plan.
But if we don't get that dragon...
What are you doing?
The accelerators!
Didn't you close the Gate?
What do you think this Gate is?
The Oraternative Dragon could've left any time he wanted to.
No way... Is he...
I'll show you the real reason he stayed here.
What is that?
It came from the lab.
Let's go!
Wow...
It's worth living a long life, huh?
Where are we going?
Haruma, let me try it, too.
No, I'll do it.
I saw Dad doing it before.
Destination
Shimane Prefecture Tashiro-gun Ishii-cho Ogawa-Higashi 195
Shimane, it says.
Shimane... The home of the famous Shimanekko?
It'll take 25 hours to get there?
All we have to do is sleep. It's easy.
Hey, what's a cabaret?
Cabaret New World.
Cabaret
New World
What's a cabaret?
H-Hey, let's listen to some music.
Now for a news flash.
The full scale of the series of explosions and fires
that struck Kaminohara around 4:00 PM is still unknown,
and we're waiting for a report from the police.
Not good.
You there.
Pull over to the side of the road and stop.
This car's still experimental.
It's actually not legal to use on public roads.
If we're caught, the police will probably take us in.
Do you think they'd believe what happened at the lab?
Driver, stop immediately.
And if they find that smartphone...
Stop!
Car in front of me, stop!
Where's your license plate?
Hey!
Aww, it crashed.
It would've been so much easier if we could've ridden in it.
No sense in whining about it.
Let's go.
Hang on, did anybody write down where we're going?
Where are your bags, guys?
It's no good.
Mom and Dad aren't answering.
Jeez... I let you do it, and this is how it turns out.
What does that mean?
You were messing with the navigator, so you should've memorized the destination.
You're the one who wasn't taking this seriously enough.
A message?
Shimane Prefecture Tashiro-gun Ishii-cho Ogawa-Higashi 195
Shimane...
This is our destination!
Who sent it?
I don't recognize this address.
Grandpa, maybe?
So how do we get to Shimane?
Pub Minami
Wake up, please.
Sir, this is the last stop. Sir!
So cold...
You came to find me, huh?
- Thank you, Patrasche. - Hey, Minami,
come back to reality.
It's raining.
You must be cold, right?
Want to stay at my place?
I've got video games!
Thanks to this useless Gate,
it's going to take a while longer for it to grow, but...
In another 12 hours...
What's going on here?
My goal from the start has been to revive this.
The Oraternative Dragon, you see,
was stopping it from coming out of the Gate.
I was planning on eliminating him,
but now that you've taken him away, I don't have to!
All that's left is to crush the Oraternative Dragon, which is almost dead.
This is bad...
Haruma and the others are...
What are you plotting?
You are high-quality resources
to help us rule our world.
What?
Hey, where are we?
Numano City, it says.
We're not even close!
We're never going to make it at this rate.
I wanna go home!
Hey, what are you doing there?
Nothing...
You run away?
Tell me your parents' number.
No. We're not running away.
Don't lie to me.
We're not lying!
Please let us stay here, just until morning.
We have something we need to do.
Please!
Ren...
Let's eat!
It's so good!
Um...
You're not going to tell the police about us?
As soon as it's morning, get out of here.
Thank you for dinner!
What do we do tomorrow?
We'll just have to go as far as we can.
But how...
Where are you going?
Shimane.
That right?
I'm actually from Shimane.
What's Shimane like?
There're lots of things in Shimane.
Buildings, fields...
What about where you lived?
My house... sank.
What do you mean, "sank"?
I mean it's under the ocean now.
All the grown-ups we saw were scary,
but I guess some are nice, huh?
Yeah. Goodnight.
Good morning.
Morning.
So you're in about third grade?
No, fourth grade.
I've got a kid, too.
I ain't seen 'em in forever.
Take this to keep yourselves safe.
Um, what's your name?
I'm nobody worth knowing.
Thank you!
Don't get lost!
Okay!
Is this really the right way?
I can't walk another step!
We just took a break.
Hey, guys, what is this?
This is so nice.
Make sure you look straight ahead.
I know, I know.
Do you know how to use the brakes?
I said I know!
Ren, stop the car.
Why?
This sound...
We should check it out.
It's probably just a helicopter.
If we worry about every little thing, we'll never—
Just stop the car!
No!
See, it's just a helicopter!
You worry too much about everything.
Kagutsuchi!
I've been saving this monster.
Then I'll use Amakusa!
Gabriel!
It's not enough!
Aoi, move Amakusa in front of the car!
Hang on tight, everyone!
Dad!
Wow! This is amazing!
It's beautiful!
Wait, does he know where we're going?
That's it...
You were the one who told us where to go, weren't you?
Ren.
You have something to say to all of us, don't you?
What are you talking about?
If you'd stopped the car, we wouldn't have been in danger.
But because of that, we got him to carry us the whole way.
Enough!
You're too selfish!
Nobody asked you to come.
What?
It was your choice to follow me, so stop whining.
I can do this on my own.
Without any of you.
Ren, you're being a spoiled brat.
What do you mean by that?
Does not having a dad make you that special?
Stop it!
What do I do?
I've gotta go!
Huh? That's not me!
Don't touch it!
It's no use.
We just can't do it fast enough.
We worked him too hard, didn't we?
I'm sorry.
You did this for us...
It's so cold, huh?
Yeah.
The cabaret thing from the car!
I hope morning comes soon.
I want to sleep in a bed.
It's warm...
Yeah!
Oragon!
His name's Oraternative Dragon, right?
So Oragon for short!
You just used it as is!
I think it works, though.
Thanks, Oragon.
Oragon,
did you ever meet my dad?
He studies ancient biology. His name's Yoichiro Homura.
He believed dragons were real.
So when I met you, I was really happy.
My dad wasn't a liar.
Three years ago, he left on a journey and didn't come back.
But I wasn't lonely at all!
Dad wanted to research dragons, so he couldn't help it, right?
But I'm worried about my little sister.
She's still young.
She doesn't know that Dad's dead.
I'm sure he's alive.
Haruma...
Your dad's alive. I know it.
No, I didn't...
We all know how hard you've been trying.
I didn't...
We know!
We all know!
You're wrong! I'm...
It's okay to be weak sometimes.
When you're sad, you can say you're sad,
and when you're lonely, you can say you're lonely.
It's okay!
I'm sorry...
The truth is, I thought that if we went into the science museum,
I might learn something about my dad.
So I got all of you caught up in this...
I want to see my dad.
Dad... come home...
Now, awaken! Great War God Akasha!
M-Monster!
The Oraternative Dragon headed for the Gate!
Go!
Go, and destroy everything!
Yuri!
Human memories are an important resource, too!
Wake up!
She will never again remember you or her son.
Who are you?!
Genome!
Fire!
Akira, I put in the strongest monster we have!
Take care of Ren and the others!
And this, too.
This is one of the Rings of Beginning.
The Ring of Light.
I entrust it to you!
I swear I'll protect them!
From now on, I give the orders.
You only need to obey them.
Is this really the right way?
Probably.
Probably isn't good enough...
No helicopters, but...
What do we do?
Our phone batteries are already dead.
This way!
Ren!
Train tracks!
This is probably the Kisuki line.
The golf course we stayed at last night was in Yuki,
so I think we're probably near Miinohara.
Which way do we go?
It's still morning, so the sun's in the east.
And our shadows are pointing west, so...
This way.
Amazing!
You're a genius, Haruma!
Let's go.
I hope the people at the lab are okay.
Will you take us...
Wait, what comes next?
Somewhere far away?
You are... You alone are...
The messenger from Sunday!
Say cheese!
Are you a photographer?
Nope, just a traveler.
Bye-bye!
I'm hungry...
We take a bus from here.
We should arrive in an hour.
It was nice of them to lend us chargers, wasn't it?
But we can't charge Ren's phone, the most important one.
How much battery do you have left?
I think I'm on my last bar...
Run!
Don't move!
Which of you has the smartphone with the Oraternative Dragon on it?
You.
Step forward.
Now.
Haruma!
Hands up.
Give us the smartphone right now.
Do you think I'm bluffing?
Do it.
Wait!
Monster Strike
This is it.
I'll get you for this.
You guys—
Ren!
Let's go.
Are you okay?
Ren!
We have the smartphone.
We'll be arriving at your location at 1730 hours.
I see.
Well done.
I won't let things go your way.
Come in. Repeat: Come in.
We can't verify your clearance to fly.
Repeat: We can't verify...
Farm to Table
We couldn't help it.
Let's tell the police.
I don't know if they'll listen,
but it's our only hope now.
What's your problem, brats?
Did you do that?
Don't you have something to say?
We're sorry! We're sorry!
Kids these days.
You don't even know how to apologize?
I bet your dad's disappointed in you!
What?
What's with you?!
You want to fight?!
Stop it, Ren!
We're sorry! We're sorry! We're sorry!
Did you learn your lesson, monster?
Give me the smartphone.
Come forth, War God Akasha!
What's wrong with you brats?
Ren! Haruma!
Where'd you get that talisman?
None of your business!
Fine.
Just go home!
No! I'm not going home!
I'm going to the Gate.
I'm going to save Oragon from them.
I'm sure that's what Dad...
The hell is that?
Is that the War God that older boy was talking about?
Let's go.
I'm sure Oragon is there.
Hey, Ren!
You can't beat that thing!
I can't beat it alone.
So...
Everyone.
Please help me, just a little more.
Please.
Ren...
I guess we don't have a choice.
Let's do it!
Guys...
Get on.
Just get on!
Give up.
Now, give me the smartphone.
Mister!
Ren!
Ren! Keep going!
Your fight is with me.
Sheesh, what a night.
This is the right address, right?
Probably.
You know the way?
Yeah. It's been a while, though.
That address is Ryugamon Shrine.
The same talisman?
You'll find the shrine at the top of the stairs.
Thanks for everything.
I don't know what that was all about,
but it was fun.
Sorry about earlier.
I got in a fight with my dad, and I've been in a bad mood.
I'll be going, I guess.
Um, what's your name?
I'm nobody worth knowing.
The blessing of the gods upon all the lands.
Take this!
We're here!
Let us fight with you!
Wow! He's totally mastered Arthur!
What is that?
That laser's effective against all types?
Everyone, hang in there!
I was here once, a long time ago.
With Dad...
My house... sank.
That address is Ryugamon Shrine.
Oragon!
Jeez...
I really don't know any kid like that!
This is Dad's village...
That's the Gate...
Guys!
Go!
Faith is our weapon. Advance.
Now!
Yeah!
I'm here to proclaim the good news!
Haruma!
Burn, flames!
Dwell in my sword and annihilate my foe!
I am he who commands the memories of all worlds.
Ren, I'll keep him in one place.
Aim for that moment!
Ren!
Pay me back in the future!
Knights of the Round!
With the protection of the Knights of the Round Table!
Holy sword Excalibur!
Now!
Now, devour me.
I give you my life.
All traces of souls within this world...
Past, future... even memories...
I will devour them all.
- I shall show you despair! - Run!
Ren.
Ren!
Ren.
Dad?
Oragon...
Ren.
Use all the power remaining within me for a Strike Shot.
If I do that...
You are a strong boy.
I enjoyed my journey with you.
Here we go, Oragon!
Strike Shot!
Oragon!
There's nothing to be sad about.
I will see all of you again.
Akira.
Ren... Guys...
Don't worry.
The fact that we're here from the future
means you don't need to worry about them.
But their memories...
You really don't get it.
If you have someone to fight with you,
you can make precious memories as many times as you need to.
Akira, no matter what anyone says, you're one of us.
Don't try to show off.
Well, let's go.
Epoca told us to make sure we don't meet our past selves.
Aww, but we just got here.
No complaining!
You worked really hard.
You were awesome.
Ren, this way.
This was once an entrance to another world.
But at some point,
humanity lost the hearts they had that believed in dragons,
and the key to open the door was lost.
The real one is under the water now.
I know.
Let's take a picture outside.
Okay.
Dad, that's scary!
Sorry, sorry.
Ren, let's go on a journey again someday.
Yeah.
Dad?
What's wrong?
Live strong.
Dad... I learned on that journey that the things you can't do by yourself,
you can do with your friends.
Huh? Where's Epoca?
Huh?
She was just next to me...
Epoca?
Ren?
Nice catch.
