Why are we getting off?
We have to listen to the Iwato Station samurai.
An order has come through from Kongoukaku.
The Hunters are not permitted to enter.
How dare they.
The shogun is wary of Lord Biba.
Iwato's gates are the final stronghold before Kongoukaku.
Well, I suppose it wasn't going to be so easy.
Which is precisely why we have prepared for this.
They said Lord Biba couldn't enter.
Does that mean we're going to be separated?
Now we'll be able to distance ourselves from them.
However...
Mumei...
Are you a human or a Kabane!?
Neither! I'm a Kabaneri!

Kongoukaku's the next stop right after this.

If we're not delayed by track maintenance, we'll make it there in three days.
But without Lord Biba...
Is it true that there are Kabane inside the Triumphant Fortress?
Yeah, and not just one or two.
Probably over a hundred!
Then it sounds like distancing ourselves was the right thing to do.
That's true, but...
Ikoma.
I also agree that Miss Mumei shouldn't remain in their company.
She is...
Understood.
I promise I'll bring her back.
Ayame.
It's time.
I shall be counting on you.
If this plan succeeds, everyone will be happy, right?
Absolutely.
But we need your help to achieve it.
Are you up to the task?
Of course.
Lord Maeda has agreed to a meeting.
However, he will allow only women and children to accompany you.
Exactly as I'd predicted.
Make preparations.
Okay.
Mumei...
Poor child.
You lied to her, didn't you?
Nothing I said was a lie.
In any case,
it does not change what must be done.
Nor what I must do, I take it...
You decided to use me first because Mumei has returned, didn't you?
Am I going to die today?
Lord Maeda,
I wish to extend my thanks for offering to prepare the way to Kongoukaku for us.
It is only natural for the shogunate to work for the people.
In any case,
I must apologize for stipulating that only women and children would be allowed.
Had I not, they would not have agreed to see Biba here.
You will be seeing Lord Biba?
He said he wished to discuss matters regarding food provisions.
I'd like to accommodate him, but...
Lord Maeda is unfamiliar with the feud between Biba and the Shogun.
He has put that behind him.
Had he not,
he would not have spent the last 10 years fighting the Kabane for the Shogunate.
What a bunch of fools.
Did they really think these men would be able to stop us?
You must not grow overconfident, Mumei.
Those who underestimate their enemies do not last long in this world.
Death often comes swiftly, and without warning.
Oh, don't worry.
That day won't come for us until we bring Brother back to his home.
Ikoma!
Our guests have arrived.
It is an honor to meet you.
I am the commander of the Hunters,
Amatori Biba.
Miss Mumei, you too?
What an honor!
At last, a meeting with the Great Liberator himself.
Please, be seated.
Thank you.
Stop, Itagaki!
Lord Biba has come to talk!
Having a gun pointed at him does not rid him of his ability to talk.
Please sit down.
Brother, I'd like to go to the toilet.
Toilet?
Come on, I can't hold it in much longer.
I'm sorry, could someone please take her?
Did you really see Mumei?
Yeah!
She was with Biba!
With Biba?
What is it?
Look!
It's Mumei!
It's almost time.
Yes.
Let us pay them back in full.
I'd better not kill them or Ikoma's gonna make a fuss.
What's going on?
Who authorized this?
It's unfair to only keep us out.
I won't let them get away with treating us like that.
Mumei, what are you doing!?
I'm just letting the Triumphant Fortress in!
After all this time we've spent fighting the Kabane,
they won't let us in?
They're releasing the Kabane here?
Why?
Kabane!
The Kabane are coming!
We have to raise the bridge!
Get the explosives!
It's the Kabane!
The Kabane have broken through!
The alarm?
Why are the Kabane here?
Lord Itagaki!
Please cease this!
How brave.
I will stop her.
Miss Yukina!
Did you lie to me?
Were you deceiving me, Biba!?
Your master is the one who deceived me first.
Why are the Kabane here!?
Help me!
No.
This can't be happening.
Mumei!
Get back here!
Ikoma, we can deal with her later!
We need to get back to everyone first.
Come on!
Okay.
KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS
Get away from the door!
Quickly.
Hold formation!
Repel the Kabane!
Ikoma!
Has Lady Ayame returned?
Not yet.
Even if we returned to the Iron Fortress, without the master key...
I will go.
Please hold out here.
All this...
happened because I opened the gate.
Don't worry.
We're together.
Are you okay?
Don't be afraid.
Stop!
What are you thinking?
Why are you doing this?
Fuel is necessary if one is to accomplish anything, you see.
Please come with us, Lady Ayame.
Allow me to treat my friend.
Lady Ayame!
Where has our lord gone?
Surely you don't think he's left us behind?
A railfort?
Who's operating it?
Who cares? We're saved!
Don't get left behind.
This station is done for!
We have to get to Kongoukaku!
Open fire.
This is retribution
for the shogunate's past ten years of cowardice.
Horobi.
Come.
Are you afraid?
I'm only afraid because you're afraid of me.
Me, afraid?
You are always afraid.
What was that?
That's...
The Smog!
Chimera. What an appropriate name.
A man-made hybrid colony with a Kabaneri at its heart.
How very exciting.
I wonder what it's capable of...
I shall liberate all.
The land, the people...
Their fears as well.
Horobi.
Destroy the gate.
Fire!
Kajika!
Don't worry, everyone will protect us.
Damn it.
Take the tank!
Okay.
Kongoukaku, this is Iwato.
The Smog has—
Excellent.
We will be able to use that.
Kongoukaku will not stand a chance!
Brother!
Mumei.
Well done.
Brother, wasn't the purpose of opening the gate to let the Triumphant Fortress in?
So why...
Look, Mumei.
This
is the world of fairness and equality we've been striving towards.
Horobi?
Is that Horobi?
That was far sooner than expected.
It seems the restraints could not withstand the virus.
Lord Souei, we should give the white blood to Lady Horobi.
It's no use.
She's beyond saving at this point.
Kurusu!
I have come to bring Lady Ayame back!
Out of my way!
Cease this!
Else I shall throw this away.
Milady!
Don't be foolish, girl!
You have no idea what that's worth!
Stop!
Kurusu!
Lady Horobi?
Has she become one?
Open fire!
What the hell is going on?
Protect the commander!
Horobi, stop!
No...
What are you doing?
Ikoma!
Do not resist.
We are interested in your blood.
Resist, and we will simply collect it from your dead body.
Behold!
A world liberated from its cage!
I speak to all of you.
Abandon the stations,
and join the fight instead.
There's no mistaking that you've been bitten by a Kabane.
No, please help me!
Stop!
I told you not to resist.
Do it.
What are you doing?
What? What do you want?
We have orders from the commander to ensure that you do not interfere.
It is here that cowards will die,
and only the strong will be able to survive.
That is the way of this world!
Biba!
Thus, we shall destroy the very symbol of mankind's cowardice,
the shogun's castle of Kongoukaku,
and liberate us all!
Liberation! Liberation! Liberation!
Brother, has everything you've ever told me...
been a lie?
