Project Freedom.
That, in a nutshell, is the operation to wipe out the Earless.
My friends, after the mystics have summoned the Earless Core,
our joint forces will wipe them out.
Wait. They wish to coexist with the Earless.
Have you told them the true intent of this operation?
Sign of the Times.
Their sacrifice will become the invaluable cornerstone of our future.
You mean to deceive them?!
That is a misapprehension.
Ultimately, the objective is to save the world we live in
by removing the threat of the Earless from it.
Isn't that right, your majesty?
Then, what do you say we all welcome them?
People of Gnome!
Who are you?
I don't feel the love in your radiance.
That was the start of the 15 days and seven hours I spent with him.
The eternal moment until love deserted you.
It's been ten years since then...
The revolution of love is at a standstill.
What are we missing?
The doves are crying.
Can you hear it, Jimi?
"In the Embrace of the Beat"
Echo Rec. Age 15. I'm originally from Liverchester.
It's nice to meet you.
What I'm looking for is a man with cool and guts.
"Come, Young Men and Women! Members Urgently Needed. Members urgently needed for Denka's new project." A wild and crazy wolf!
We ran out of money, so...
Um, my name is Mu.
I don't remember how old I am or where I was born.
What I'm looking for is a hot and hip young woman.
A beautiful and sexy kitten.
You even provide housing, so it sounded good.
Huh? My strengths?
Well, I like messing with gadgets,
and I also have some experience helping out at my sis's bar.
Part time work experience?
Um... Don't think I have any!
Right now, I'm traveling alone.
I wasn't at first, but...
She's awful! She spent the money that was for parts to improve the amp!
He said his lower back hurt!
"Wake up comfortable with no lower back pain!" He said his lower back hurt!
"Wake up comfortable with no lower back pain!" And it was supposed to be a good product with low resilience,
"Wake up comfortable with no lower back pain!" so I bought the soft futon!
Those things are a total scam!
And she went and bought it without discussing it with me!
Totally unreal!
You're in!
Thank you so much!
Then, come with me.
Oh, okay.
Yes!
Then, I'll show you where to go.
Okay!
Paisley Park.
This place is incredible.
I've never been in such a big city.
It's where everyone can become sexy.
And Denka, the most lovesexy one of us all in this world
lives there.
Huh?
It's called the Galaxy Palace.
Denka's Galaxy Palace...
Oh, excuse me.
And this is the dorm where you'll be living.
You're a Player, right?
You could tell?
Um...
Do you know how I might get to meet Denka?
Then, you'll just have to lead a sexy life.
The abundance of love ought to show you the way.
That's Paisley Park.
Okay, we're here. This is your dorm.
Huh?!
Unreal!
Don't you come over here from over there.
Don't enter this side from that side.
I've got work starting tomorrow. I'm going to bed early.
Oh, this is nice. Soft and low resilience. I think I'll sleep great.
I thought you bought that thing for me.
I thought you complained that I'd been duped or something.
Getting part-time jobs is fine,
but you better not have forgotten our purpose in coming to this city.
Oh, shut up.
You'd better think about how we're going to meet with this Denka person.
A message for Denka.
Earlier, mumble-mumble-mumble.
What?! Information about that man?
Mumble-mumble-mumble.
--Mumble-mumble-mumble. --...investigating...
Mumble-mumble-mumble.
--Mumble-mumble-mumble. --...the young man and woman...
--Mumble-mumble-mumble. --Mumble-mumble-mumble-mumble.
Mumble-mumble-mumble.
--Mumble-mumble. --Mumble-mumble-mumble.
--What?! That Player...
--Mumble-mumble. --...to debut immediately?!
--Mumble-mumble. --Mumble-mumble-mumble.
Then, have the young man and woman...
Yes, sir. As if to envelop them in the beat of love and sexy! Correct?
I'm Wendy, head of the part-timers.
I'm Lisa, deputy head. Nice to meet you.
Oh, sure.
Starting today, you're Girl Six.
Six?
The job is simple.
When the phone rings, you pick up the receiver
and whisper of love.
Of love?
Answers that are love and sexy. That's...
...the job here at Telephone Love Sexy.
I don't really get it, but...
I'll do my best!
Hello, this is Girl Six at Love Sexy.
Uh, um, what time is love?
Hmm, two o'clock, maybe?
Oh, Rainbow Bridge!
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
This is New Power Generation.
As you can see, it's a workshop.
Whoa, are these Equipment?
Yeah, at Denka's request.
Says they're needed for a project called Revolution.
Revolution...
Starting today, you're Boy Nine.
I'm Marshall, head of the part-timers.
And your job...
...is miscellaneous chores.
Well, you do your best.
Yes, I'll work hard.
Man, I'm beat!
What's my sexy...
The sound of meat grilling?
So this is a general-purpose Equipment...
Good work.
Spend it wisely.
Yes, thank you very much.
Ooh! It's thicker than I thought it'd be.
Yo!
So, then, it's your first payday. You're going, right?
What? Going... where?
Don't play dumb with me!
--Oh! Wait... Hold on... --You just come with me.
Please give it back!
This old man will teach you what love is.
The butterflies of the night will be waiting!
What? Wh-What are we going to do?
Just all ooey-gooey...
What? Ooey-gooey?
Yup. Sopping wet.
Oh... sopping wet?
And to top it off, soft and pillowy!
Soft and pillowy?!
Uh, uh, well, wh-where are we going?
What? Huh? Mr. Marshall?
Mr. Marshall?!
--But, man, I'm scared. What'll I say to Mu...
--One, two, three, four. --But, man, I'm scared. What'll I say to Mu...
Huh? What's that?
What?
Oh? What's wrong, boy?
How about acting like you're having more fun?
Huh? Uh, I mean, who are you?
Kid. Call me that.
Mr. Kid?
Let's Go Crazy!
This park draws people to it.
People of all colors and stripes.
On their faces, smiles to be treasured.
In their hearts, there's deep pleasure etched into them, right?
Try asking them where they're going.
I bet they'll say they're not going anywhere.
Because we've won the right to permanent residence
here in Paisley Park.
Jimi Stonefree...
You wouldn't know, right?
He's an incredible Player.
But he's not even in the almanac.
Sounds like some mythical figure.
He's no myth.
I saw him.
Ten years ago, in Liverchester.
Liverchester, is it?
We were told the person called Denka would know.
Not that we can expect
to meet someone who lives in a palace like that so easily.
What do you want to do?
--What? --When you meet this Jimi you idolize?
I don't know. But...
You want him to guide you, right?
I get it. Me, too.
I wanted to save this hollow world. That was all.
Mr. Kid?
I had no intention of causing grief or suffering, but...
Love remains immovable now.
But...
...I feel love in your radiance.
--Huh?! --It's about her. Mu.
After all, you left your town and continued your journey
because you met her. Because you wanted to stay with her.
Isn't that right?
Th-Th-Tha... That's not...
Hearing your story,
it stirred feelings in me from back then that I'd forgotten about.
Let me thank you.
Club Love Sexy?
My treat. Now, go speak of love.
Uh, I mean, th-this place is...
Well, let us meet again, Boy Nine.
Welcome.
Ooey-gooey, s-sop-sopping wet, s-s-soft... soft and pillowy...
Next gentleman, please.
Eek!
Please make your way to Girl Six.
Hello!
Uh, um, i-it's nice to meet... you?
Gack!
Men are seriously unreal!
You get your pay and you come straight here?!
You've got the wrong idea. I didn't know that you were here.
Then, if you were matched with some other girl, what would you have done?
What? Oh, that's...
Say, you two.
Huh?
Wanna go somewhere kinda nice?
First Avenue?
That's right.
Normally, it's a coliseum where Equipment fight exhibition matches.
Girl Six, you're a Player, right?
And Boy Nine is an amp builder.
Just like you, we're Players, too.
Let's fight a match.
You want to meet with Denka, right?
If you win, we'll get you that meeting.
R-Really?
If we lose?
We'll have you leave this town.
It's unforgivable that country mice like you get to debut right away.
Debut right away? What are you talking about?
I don't really get it, but we accept the challenge!
Mu?!
It's like putting it in the bank.
Please pay me back when you get your next check.
You know, things like this happen.
So? How was First Avenue?
We totally got beat to a pulp.
First Avenue's Amazon Corps.
And you challenged their undefeated Queens Lisa and Wendy?
You've got guts.
Count yourself lucky that you didn't get killed.
I had no idea they were the Wendy and Lisa.
To begin with, even their outfits were totally different than in the almanac.
So, you're headed out of here?
We are not!
Disappointed?
All right, I expect you to pack your things.
I'm begging you!
Please battle us one more time in a week's time!
E-Echo, you...
We desperately need to see Mr. Denka.
So... So, I'm begging you!
Very refreshing, Boy Nine.
What do you plan to do, Girl Six?
Yes, next time, we'll win!
I like you two.
Then, let's make our next fight a flashy one.
I just wanted for us to see Denka and now it's turned into this...
Who cares?
It's not like leaving town at this point is an option for us.
But...
What if we lose again?
I don't intend to.
We'll win the match, meet with Denka, and have him tell us about Jimi.
How charming, Six-Nine.
Having said that, what do you plan to do?
Yes, well, we learned from fighting them
that their special piloting method
of taking turns controlling one Equipment has certain strengths.
The rhythm, or the flow, of the way they fight defies expectations
and that makes things tough.
But that's the key.
There are momentary breaks when they switch back and forth, and if we--
Thinking about it is no good.
This isn't academics.
Simply bring revolution to the world.
I, too, used to think that only required brute force.
Watching you two, I realized something.
--Mr. Kid? --Love and hatred is a game of seesaw.
Like this, tipping back and forth.
The balance between the Player and the builder is important?
That's not it.
You two are fine the way you are.
All that remains is for you to face each other.
I can't wait.
I'll be sure to go see it.
Mu... I finally get it.
That pendant belonged to you.
Yes. Time has passed.
It's time we also began something new.
As I suspected, what was missing was love.
For a new love, there needs to be a revolution.
You seem awfully confident.
Yeah, I'm a risk-taker.
Of course, I'm betting it all on Wendy and Lisa.
If you win, you better pay back what you owe.
Goes without saying.
If you run away again, you're in for a serious beating.
Oh, what do we do?! What do we do?!
Just win, that's all.
This is the chance you got for us by groveling that night.
We're not losing this time!
You're right.
Let's go, Mu.
They're just like in the almanac.
Denka! Denka! Denka! Denka! Denka! Denka! Denka! Denka! Denka!
What? Isn't that...
Mr. Kid?!
You say you want a leader.
But you can't make up your mind.
I think you better close it.
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain.
No, I am no leader.
Simply the Scion of Chills who seeks love.
Mr. Kid...
...was Denka?
Show us! Your love for each other!
Now, let us offer up our prayer. Revolutionize love!
Here we go.
Get ready.
--Mu! --I'm okay.
How?
Something's different.
Mu, on my signal.
We strike their weakness.
We get one chance.
One is plenty!
It's Ms. Lisa!
Understood!
--Wha--?! --Now!
Top Boost!
We have a winner!
They freaking won! Against the Queens!
Marshall!
You bastard! I want my money back!
You're not getting away!
What's that?
The love... The revolution... has begun to move forward!
--Earless?! --Wh-Why?
We just have to do this!
We're doing this, right?
Wendy?
We'll show you.
Lisa!
Mu, as I suspected, you are Jimi's...
Denka, it is dangerous here!
Behold! These ten years, the revolution we've yearned for
has begun moving forward once again!
What we didn't have enough of was love.
Denka, your Equipment is responding... to the Earless...
No, to those two and their power!
There's no end to them!
Mu, that pendant...
Yes, it looks like it's resonating to something.
Let's settle this in one fell swoop!
Top Boost!
That's right. We failed.
But those two can bring love to a new world.
The planet is trembling in the grip of the revolution.
Watch this, Jimi. This is for you.
This city is my Equipment!
I apologize for acting in a manner that tested you...
What about those Earless?
How did something like that...
I will tell you everything.
Of the 15 days and seven hours that I spent with Jimi Stonefree,
from when we met to when we parted.
It was ten years ago.
You know about the Fest that was held in Liverchester, right?
Project Freedom.
A plan to wipe out the Earless which menaced the world.
In order to do that, we needed to guide the Core of the Earless.
And to do that, it was essential that we had the cooperation
of the people who sought to coexist with the Earless.
Naturally, we couldn't exactly tell them
that we wanted them to lure out the Earless so we could wipe them out.
You tricked them?
Indeed we did.
At that time, the Player who joined the war with them was...
Jimi.
Our revolution will bring peace to the world, without fail.
Can you hear it?
Their voices.
Shouting endlessly deep in our hearts.
Someday, we'll be able to love each other, even with them.
The Earless... and us?
Of course.
We're the same.
Why did you become a Player?
When I prayed, my little sister danced.
She did this twirl. It was super charming.
I'd love to introduce her to you, too.
At that time, shining upon his bosom was that pendant.
We were wrong.
But it was too late.
The operation was in motion.
We betrayed him, and the operation was a failure.
These ten years, I hoped for another chance.
Time has passed.
The era belongs to you two.
That is all I know.
I haven't seen him since then.
The people of Gnome also vanished, taking an injured Jimi with them.
Only they know where he went.
But having learned of our treachery, they will never meet with us.
But you two...
This is a map to Gnome.
It's from ten years ago, so I don't know what's become of them now.
Thank you very much, Mr. Kid!
And I have a request.
Gnome Country...
This is where Jimi is.
I'm his little sister...?
If you should manage to see Jimi, would you let him know?
That even now, I love him still.
If someone deviated from the world and laid down new tracks,
people would surely call it progress.
But if the world were to be freed of Heaven's rule,
and it were to reveal its far side,
the future would no longer be the future,
the light side would be the dark side, and the dark the light.
The sky full of stars would crystallize into crazy diamonds.
So let us pile up the wall until we can no longer see the sky.
"Goodbye Blue Sky" "Goodbye Blue Sky."
Turn your face skyward, to the Player's night.
