All that and I still can't get through...!

Do I hear whining? You gonna quit?

Never. That thing's dangerous. We have to defeat it!

That's right, Amou! Let's do this!

Yeah!

Japan was on the brink of destruction during the mid-21st century.

Failed economic policies, the aging population combined with low birthrate...

Problem after problem pushed Japan to the verge of collapse.

To help, powerful countries and allied powers stepped in.

In the name of economic aid, medical support, and peacekeeping,

each nation deployed a vast number of people, slowly expanding their territory,

until finally, an armed conflict arose.

Later, this battle was called the Boundary War.

The nations deployed humanoid war machines called AMAIM.

Unmanned AMAIMs with tactical Als became the main players on the battlefield,

Unmanned AMAIMs with tactical AIs became the main players on the battlefield,

engaging in battles all over Japan.

Japan was virtually divided up and ruled, and its people fell under outside control.

In the year 2061, this is Japan's current situation.

"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"

Yes! Good stuff and in a decent condition, too!

We might be in luck.

Seems that way.

With this AMAIM...

I knew it!

Yes! Dibs on the sequential turbo!

Let's take all the parts we can salvage!

How's it looking over there, Shiiba? Did you find a control system board box?

Y-Yeah, I found it.

Man, we hit the jackpot.

With today's loot, I can customize this beauty even more.

I can make my motorcycle go crazy fast!

Just don't overdo it.

Yeah, yeah.

What about you, Shiiba?

You take home quite the haul each time. You've probably made loads of stuff.

Um, I just like AMAIM parts, so...

Well, everyone has their own things they enjoy.

Yup!

Yeah.

Good hunting, Shiiba!

See you later. I'll ping you again once I get a solid lead.

O-Okay. Thanks.

You little brat! How dare you touch my clothes with your filthy hands?!

You're able to live a safe life thanks to our protection!

You Japanese should stay in the corner, cowering in fear!

Please forgive us!

Okay, let's go!

"Thanks to our protection," my butt! They're just mercenaries.

You're the ones disturbing peace!

Stop it! What if they hear you?!

This area is under extraterritorial jurisdiction. You'd be killed for nothing.

Dammit, how did this happen...

I often wonder...

...if there's any point in living.

"Japanese terrorists"

"20 Japanese terrorists dead" In this day and age, just being born in Japan

In this day and age, just being born in Japan

is like starting a game with a huge handicap.

Sure, you might be able to turn your life around if you have talent or money,

but if you don't, your job options are limited.

"Video Expression of the Past and Future" "Total unemployment rate reaches an all-time high"

"Video Expression of the Past and Future" "Total unemployment rate reaches an all-time high" Your future is already set in stone.

Your future is already set in stone.

So why bother trying?

What's hope? How much does it cost?

"Next class starts in: 07:28" "GDP in Japan plunges to a record low"

"Next class starts in: 07:28" "GDP in Japan plunges to a record low" What's hope? How much does it cost?

"Next class starts in: 07:28" "Agonizing Diet deliberations!" What's hope? How much does it cost?

Ugh, this is so depressing...

I met those three online because we all like machines.

I don't even know if their names or addresses are real.

What's wrong with that? You don't need more than that in a social relationship.

This is my own spot that even those three don't know about.

Not that I have much or any parts they'd want anyways.

If only I had a car...

Oh, well.

Hey, pssst!

Over here. Please, help me!

Come on! I don't have much time left!

Come over here, quickly!

Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?

This way! Hurry!

Huh? A box?

You finally found me!

Uh, what?

I'm Gai, an autonomous AI... Basically an AI with a consciousness.

Right...

Hey! You just thought that this was some kind of prank with a comm or something!

And now you're cursing your bad luck!

You're thinking about ignoring me and leaving!

Come on, be a pal and help me.

My battery is about to die and I need help. I'm on the verge of death.

But there's nothing I can—

But there's nothing I can--

Shh! Be quiet!

Someone's coming.

You there. What are you doing in a place like this?

Oh, um, I had a picnic at the creek over there, and I'm on my way home.

A picnic?

What were you doing at the edge of the road?

Nature called... Do you want to see?

Someone's scavenging for AMAIM parts around this area.

A picnic?
What were you doing at the edge of the road?
Nature called... Do you want to see?
Someone's scavenging for AMAIM parts around this area.
They're apparently digging up AMAIM remains from the Boundary War.
Do you know anything about that?
N-No, nothing...
I'm going to verify your ID.
Sure.
According to our intel, the culprits are a group of boys around your age.
Y-Yeah? Is that so?
Shiiba Amou. Age 16. Attends an online high school. What, you're an orphan?
Y-Yes, I lost both parents when I was little...
How do you get by?
With a scholarship and some inheritance money from my parents...
Ow!
We're going to search your backpack.
You're coming with us if we find anything suspicious!
What's with all the trash?!
I told you, I'm on my way back from a picnic!
Japanese people don't get decomposable containers, so I have to bring them back!
Um, are we done here?
Stupid brat! You shouldn't be walking around this late at night!
Told ya!
Yup. I'm surprised you could tell it was a military vehicle, though.
They sound and vibrate differently than regular ones.
They also come with human detecting sensors, so hiding wouldn't have worked.
See! It was the perfect excuse. No one would look for traces of urine.
Yeah, you really helped me.
Oh, don't mention it! I scratch your back, you scratch mine.
Right...? People help each other!
You do have a heart, don't you, Amou?
Yes!
What is this place?
I think it used to be a maintenance shop.
It's abandoned now, so I'm using it.
Like a secret hideout? It's every man's dream!
Hey, that's...!
Ahh, that hits the spot!
I couldn't figure out what would connect to that peripheral,
but if your plug fits, I guess it was an AI peripheral unit power supply.
Yup! The power transmission loss is low, and the system is pretty good, too!
That whole unit was destroyed, so the block was a total mystery.
Anyway, this is an AMAIM, isn't?
Did you build it yourself? How did you move it?
Where'd you get the frames and armor?
Too many questions!
So take your time and answer them one at a time.
I assembled it myself, but the required parts, like the frames, were all here.
Huh? What do you mean?
One time, I got lost in the mountains, and I accidentally found this place.
I really liked the vibe of this run-down maintenance shop.
It still had tools and testing equipment, even if they were a little old.
After spending a few days entering random codes...
The door unlocked...
...and then I found it.
It had a cockpit, which was unusual,
but it had no control system equipment installed. It was bizarre.
I still managed to use what parts were there and got this far.
I get it. It's exciting to see something starting to take shape.
Yes, that's exactly it! Building something one part at a time!
The problem is, the main system for this AMAIM boots up,
but I'm struggling with the battery alignment mechanism, so it won't activate.
So you went into the mountains to look for control system parts.
The scavengers those soldiers mentioned back there were you guys, huh?
Don't worry, I won't repay your kindness with ingratitude.
I called you to help because I knew you had machine parts in your backpack.
I figured a tinkerer wouldn't treat me so bad.
Anyway, what are you going to do after this thing is operational?
You gonna fight them?
Fight? Why would I?
So it's just a hobby to pass the time.
Well, it's good to have something to engross yourself in.
During the Boundary War, some traded in their rations to go see a show.
Since the dawn of time, humans needed entertain—
Be quiet!
A signal blocker that jams cell phones, huh?
Do you believe me now? That I'm an autonomous AI?
Hey, where are you going?
Home! I'm not in the mood today.
Don't shut down the main power!
It's okay, once I'm fully charged, it'll turn off automatically!
Well, then.
Ah, there we go! Great, I can see everything.
The remote circuit is doing good.
I'm glad I got access to the system already!
Looks like Amou couldn't even use half of what's in here.
Time for me to return the favor.
How did the squad leader meeting go?
Full of sarcastic comments. "I envy the peaceful country life."
"All you have to do is change the mercenary's diapers."
They're a quick-tempered, unruly bunch.
I will not end my career in a place like this.
I need to achieve something great.
Like annihilating a group of terrorists?
Even wannabes will do. After all, you're guilty until proven innocent.
It's been three days...
I wonder what he's going to do after he's fully charged?
- Onishi! - Taku!
I got something.
That's all we need. We're charging you with terrorism.
What?! All we did was customize vehicles—
Second Lieutenant.
Sir!
There's another member. Tell us the truth.
Tell us, and we'll consider letting you go scot-free.
Uh,
what?!
- Hello? - Amou, get out of there, now!
Gai? How did you—
Never mind that! Hurry up and head to the shop!
Clear!
Dammit!
Analyze the local image folder! Get as much locational data as you can!
Yes, sir!
Sorry. I did leave you with some stuff to work on, but this is an emergency.
How...
I solved the battery alignment issue. It's operational!
How did you...
I accessed the facility's system through this AMAIM to—
Wait, they're here!
What?! A security camera?
CO-03BR. Bunyip Boomerang...
Two unmanned AMAIMs from the Oceanian military,
along with the vehicles to control the AMAIMs;
one COMV73 and one COCV58.
Shiiba Amou! We know you're in there!
You are under arrest for conspiracy and planning terrorist acts.
You do not have the right to remain silent nor the right to an attorney.
Same goes for these scum.
I told you, we're not terrorists!
I asked them about you, but they didn't say a word.
Of course not!
We don't sell our friends out!
We're not like you!
Well, well. Isn't this a beautiful friendship, Amou?
Allow me to give you the chance to help your friends out.
Turn yourself in immediately!
Kill him if he resists.
Roger that.
Don't go, Amou! If you do, they'll arrest you and that'll be the end!
But...!
Do you want to spend the rest of your life falsely accused in prison?!
Or do you want to get out of this jam alive?!
This AMAIM can boost your one in a million chance to one in a hundred, or even ten!
I can make that happen.
You saved my life, so I'll stick by your side!
I'm trusting you, Gai.
I won't fail you!
Looks like he's not coming out. Let's smoke him out, then. Fire!
Hey, it's practically perfect! Man, I'm good!
Oh, turn it to the right.
Here we go!
This'll sting a little, but bear with me.
The system analyzes your brain waves and body reaction to control the AMAIM.
Even if the AMAIM receives an impact, the sensor will protect your body.
Transitioning to MAILeS start mode!
According to the program source, this AMAIM's name is "Kenbu."
Kenbu...
Close your eyes for two seconds so I can measure your ocular bulb location.
Wh-What's this?
It's projecting Kenbu's video feed through the retinal display.
Yo!
Gai?
I look good, right? It's my avatar so it'll be easier to talk to me.
Easier to talk to you...?
Right now, you think you're standing,
but you're strapped into your seat. The system is controlling your senses.
I see. Same with this, then?
Right! Focus on that grip!
O-Okay.
Let's get going then! Deactivate the control locks!
Deactivate the control locks!
Stand up!
Kenbu, activate!
Shiiba Amou! If you're not surrendering, we will execute you as a terrorist.
If you're still alive, that is.
Dammit!
What?!
What is that AMAIM?!
It's an unidentified robot! It must be an enemy force!
They have hostages, but don't let them know that.
Draw their attention away and confuse them!
Got it!
Could that be... Shiiba?!
Good! Now land on your left leg and rotate to the left!
It's so powerful!
Pull back so your friends aren't caught in the crossfire!
Right!
The 30mm machine gun won't penetrate its armor?!
I worked hard to polish its armor!
You need to focus!
Unit-001, continue your pursuit!
Unit-002, attack the location it appeared from!
There must be a command center beneath. Use all your ammo if you have to!
Roger that!
It won't matter how strong the AMAIM's armor is if we can find the pilot.
What're they doing?
They're attacking where they think you are.
Nowadays, it's rare for a pilot to actually be inside the AMAIM.
Watch out!
I'm out of ammo. I'm not picking up any readings from the building!
How is it still moving then?
Could that AMAIM... That's it!
Send Unit-002 back to Unit-001 now!
The first one to make a move loses?
Oh, no...
That's right. We can use them.
Shoot, they're gonna use the hostages!
Use your special move and wipe them all out before they can act!
My special move?
Bardiche Breaker!
B-Bar...?
Imagine an immense heat expanding inside of you, and sock it to them!
By the way, it only accepts audio input.
Now you're just lying!
You've got a lot of frustration built up inside!
Say it out loud and let them have it!
Amou, to your left!
Bardiche Breaker!
I knew you had it in you, Amou.
All I did was throw a punch...
But in that moment, using this AMAIM to defeat the enemy...
Feeling the impact and vibration...
I'd never experienced anything like it.
I knew...
I knew my world had just changed.
So, how was it, Amou? Riding Kenbu?
It was really exciting and thrilling.
But now I'm a wanted person.
Who cares?
I do!
Nothing's guaranteed in life!
Let's blaze a new path to the future, you and I!
All right.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E02 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Two enemy AMAIMs spotted at A7.
GS1, GS2, fire now.
Right flank, team two, team four, form lines abreast.
Team six, team eight, back up Echo-2.
R1 to R7, advance forward.
In three seconds, open fire at W272.
Fire!
Enemy neutralized. Team one, team three, advance forward.
Left flank, transition to phase 4.
Initiate wave attacks!
Grenade!
They're retreating.
A swift judgment call based on the difference in military power.
They have a good commander.
The Eurasian military keeps at it though, don't they, Captain Watt?
Small-scale drone battles are simply a waste of supplies.
As long as we can handle it, Warrant Officer Hardy.
Anyway, Captain, about the original AMAIM piloted by that terrorist...
Ah, yes. The unidentified robot that defeated two Oceanian military Bunyips.
A manned AMAIM at that...
This is very intriguing...
Amou! Be careful! We don't want the Oceanian military to find us!
That's easy for you to say...
Uh, what was that?! I picked the most inconspicuous route for us!
I'm still new at this!
Fine! You wanna ditch this robot, then?
No way! This is my AMAIM that I assembled!
Yeah, I like this one as well.
It'll also act as armor to protect us.
Especially after provoking the Oceanian military like that!
Let's get out of here, now.
R-Right.
Shiiba Amou!
Exit the robot immediately and surrender!
Or else I'll kill them, one by one.
Don't think I won't!
Amou!
Don't make me laugh. You think I'll come out because of your threat?
What?!
I was only using them to collect the parts I needed.
Thanks to them, I got this AMAIM operational.
But now I have no use for them anymore.
I've told them nothing. Interrogating them is a waste of time!
The Oceanian army let the real terrorist escape, while punishing the innocent.
You'll become a laughing stock of the whole world.
Thanks to me, they're walking away scot-free.
They're not free, they're still under protective observation.
Although they were cleared of terrorism...
And now I'm a wanted man... I'm not even a terrorist...
I got you covered, so the military can't access your cell phone GPS or phone log.
You're welcome!
I'm so hungry...
I told you what berries are edible!
Those won't fill me up!
Well, you're the one being picky, saying you can't slaughter a hog!
I wouldn't call that being picky!
Kids these days...
What's going to happen to me...?
First, we'll go through the Seto Inland Sea and head for Okayama.
The Oceanian army will back off once we're outside their territory.
What if they don't?
Then we'll escape abroad!
The world is a big place.
There's bound to be a safe haven that they can't reach!
I'll come with you. A great adventure, just the two of us!
Sounds fun, but also exhausting...
I don't like wasting energy...
Go to sleep. I'll be on guard.
Okay... Good night.
Look, there's the sea!
But we can't cross it in broad daylight.
We'll have to wait until the sun sets.
Okay.
So I'm going into sleep mode!
Huh?
Autonomous Als need time to organize enormous amounts of data!
During that time, our functions are temporarily limited.
I call it "sleep mode" because it's similar to humans needing their sleep.
I've got tons of data to sort through after operating this AMAIM.
H-Hold on for a second...
Once I'm done, we'll be able to move a lot better than last time.
Never mind that!
I'll still keep my guard up, but don't screw up.
It's all over if the Oceanian army finds us.
I said hold on, Gai!
Good night!
Will this do? Gai did say it'll have its guard up...
I guess I'll go find food.
A vegetable field this deep in the mountains?
I know this is wrong, but under these circumstances...
If I can just eat enough...
What are you doing?!
I'm sorry! I really am! It's just that I was so hungry, and I couldn't help it!
You have my apologies! Just, please don't call the cops! Please let me just go!
What's your name?
Huh?! Oh, um, Shiiba.
He who does not work, neither shall he eat.
You can help. Then I won't turn you in.
Oh, o-of course!
Use scissors for tomatoes and cucumbers. You won't harm the branches as much.
O-Okay.
Corn is ready when the silk turns brown. They're not ready yet.
Loosen up the soil to harvest potatoes. Make sure you get 'em all.
Here ya go!
Try it. It's been cooling in that stream there for tasting.
Oh, but...
I only need enough for today. Just shut up and eat it.
It's so good!
I got seedlings that need planting. You can help.
Got it!
The feel of the soil...
Its smell, so earthy...
Is this your first-time doing field work?
Yes, it is. I came from the city, so...
But it's fun to do this kind of work!
You got time?
Huh?
Oh, my. Well, hello there.
My husband rarely brings anyone home, so I didn't expect a guest.
Please, come in.
Get him dinner, will you?
Of course! Looks like your clothes need washing, too.
I'll throw them in the washer. You go take a bath.
Please, help yourself. I hope you'll like it.
Don't be shy. We can't eat all this food.
She always makes too much.
Well, I can't help it.
U-Um, thank you for the food!
It's different from the store-bought food or pre-made meals...
It's been so long since I ate a home-cooked meal.
It's so warm, so delicious...
Oh, my! I'm so sorry! Did you not like it?
No, it's not that. I-I'm sorry, it's really good.
Really... I don't know what's gotten into me. It's just so good.
Well... I'm relieved to hear that. Please, try this, too.
Okay! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the food.
You're quite welcome.
Here, I made you fresh tea.
 Moving onto the next headline.
The Japanese government and NAC are working towards the restoration of Japan—
The young terrorist who fought the Oceanian military remains at large.
Authorities believe the terrorist will try to escape through Shikoku—
Um...
Another person used to live here.
What?
My son.
He got caught in the crossfire during the Boundary War.
He said he was gonna take after my business and become a fisherman.
But after his death, I never felt like going fishing again.
Occasionally, I'll go check the condition of the engine.
It's yours if you want that old thing.
No, I can't!
I don't know your story, and I don't care to know.
But I've never met anyone who apologized like that in the field.
Usually, they either run or throw hateful words at me.
But you were good-natured and helped when I told you to.
Seeing that, I knew you were straight as an arrow.
The way things are right now, you've got good people and bad.
But what's the point if you can't keep your faith in the people you trust?
So as long as you stay here, you've got nothing to worry about.
Not a thing, you hear?
U-Um, thank you so much!
Oh, my. I think your clothes are dry now.
Oh, let me go! It's the least I can do!
Oh, all right. It's down the hall.
Okay!
Hey, Gen. Ya home?
Hey, Tokuji!
What brings you here so late?
You've seen the recent news.
About a terrorist kid on the run?
I'm patrolling the neighborhood to be on the lookout.
Have you seen any kid like that?
A kid you've never seen, or anything out of the ordinary?
Nah, nothing at all.
You sure?
Yeah, just the usual here.
Are you really sure about that?
Don't make me repeat myself. Everything's been normal here.
All right, then. Sorry to bother you late at night.
Call me if something comes up.
Yup, will do.
Don't worry about him. He can be trusted.
Amou...
You're awake, Gai.
I have been for a while. I overheard that conversation.
That police officer figured out you're here.
Yeah.
But he didn't pursue, thanks to the old man.
Yeah...
You know, I was actually starting to think this isn't a bad life.
Work the fields, harvest them, and enjoy the meals...
But now is not the time nor the place.
Right...
If I stayed here, I'd be putting them in danger.
Thank you for the dinner and the bath.
It was delicious and I had a great time. I truly appreciate your kindness.
But I would be putting you two at risk if I stayed here.
So I know I'm being selfish, but I have to leave.
If anyone asks, please tell them that I threatened you.
That way, you won't be suspected of anything.
Also, I would like to borrow your boat.
Also, I would like to borrow your boat.
One day, I'll come back to return it.
I will try my best to come back and return it.
Please be safe until then.
I didn't know you could operate a boat, too, Gai.
As long as it's computerized.
I can operate vehicles, aircrafts, anything.
We can also recharge the AMAIM using the boat's battery. It all worked out!
What's wrong?
I said "borrow," but I basically stole it from him.
I just feel guilty, you know?
Give me a break. You're a wanted terrorist.
Adding larceny to your list of charges isn't that big of a deal.
You're missing my point!
Who cares what you're being charged with?
Stay alive and one day, you'll get the chance to clear your name and apologize!
You're right.
Yup!
We're almost at the other side.
The undeveloped area up ahead used to be a grueling battlefield during the—
Shoot, it's the Asian military! They found us!
Huh?
I knew he'd show up sooner or later.
You may have been able to escape from the Oceanian idiots, but not us.
Whether we capture or destroy the robot that defeated the AMAIMs...
It'll be good publicity for the Asian military.
AM22U Nyuren... There are at least 12 Asian military drones.
Wh-What do we do?!
We gotta fight them! They'll just chase us down if we run!
Besides, we can't outrun them on this boat!
B-But...
There's no other way! The only way is forward.
You'll be a hero after defeating both the Oceanian and Asian military!
I don't want to be a hero!
Oh, come on! Play along!
But you've got me fired up!
Yeah?
Prepare to open fire.
Prepare to open fire.
Fire!
Fire!
We're starting to descend!
We'll be entering their firing range soon.
We'll confuse them and land at the end of the bridge.
How do I...
Leave it to me!
Orientation control, R23, L minus 1.
Prepare for landing. Increase counterbalance output! Remove rev limiter!
How is it moving like that?!
Thanks, Gai!
Don't mention it! I'm here to help.
Let's go!
This is incredible...
I didn't know it could fight like this.
That was "push-out" in sumo.
Before sorting through all the data, I added some combat sport techniques.
Like I said, we'll move differently next time.
Nyuren-02 and Nyuren-03 are offline!
Team two, prepare to attack!
Team three and team four will advance forward to block off his escape route!
Hmm... I've never seen moves like that in AMAIM combat.
Please keep yourself hidden, Captain!
Who knows what'll happen if the Asian military spot us!
Looks like our plan to follow that robot is paying off.
Three-unit platoon up ahead. Analyzing attack route. Select!
Go!
Good! We're out of their line of fire!
Next!
What?! It won't shoot!
It has an attachment authentication feature.
Only Asian military robots can fire that gun!
Then I'll just use it like this!
- Bravo! - Captain!
He's rough around the edges, but very fascinating.
Unfortunately, that isn't enough to defeat the Asian military.
Send in the platoons on stand-by!
Shoot! We're surrounded!
The Asian military is a highly organized army that never waivers.
There's no escaping now.
We need to run, Amou! It's all going down-hill!
B-But...
Use that! It's a high-powered ship battery!
The impact from the projectile will cause the potassium ion inside to explode!
The law of Barnabas... Got it!
Now!
Right.
It's no use.
Fire!
Extinguish the fire!
Hold it down!
It took on all those hits and it can still move?
They weren't lying about how tough its armor is.
Let's put its strength to the test.
This was a manned AMAIM, right?
How long can the armor last to protect its pilot, I wonder?
Continue firing!
Over there!
Six units remaining.
Give me six seconds.
I feel bad about what happened to the old man's boat.
Aw, keep your chin up.
When the time comes, I'll apologize with you.
Thanks.
Anyway, I wonder who that was that came to help us...?

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E03 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

There's a sniper!
Wh-Who is it?!
Locked on to all targets. Launching a seeker.
All units are offline!
All enemies obliterated.
A-Amazing...
You there. Can your AMAIM still move?
I sent you some map data. Security code A7C2.
A7C2...
Come with me. I'll cover you.
N-Now what?
It's a smoke screen with chaff.
Radar and radio waves are disabled. We've lost the enemy units.
Dammit!
U-Um, thank you. You saved my life.
Oh, I'm Shiiba Amou. This AMAIM is Kenbu, and the AI's name is Gai—
- Stop it. - Huh?
Don't touch me!
But you're also trying to use my connection against me to gather intel.
You're pretty good.
A female voice?
You won't believe this, Amou.
There's another autonomous AI on that robot.
I apologize for earlier.
I'm Kei. This AMAIM is called Jogan.
And this is Tezuka Gashin. It's nice to meet you.
O-Oh, the pleasure is ours.
What's this underground tunnel for? It's not in my data.
A high-speed railway system that fell through before the Borderline War.
Private-sectors were working on it,
but abandoned the plan before going public.
It's the reason why we can safely travel without detection.
So they basically realized it'd cost too much and gave up.
Most likely.
U-Um, Mr. Tezuka.
Drop the mister. It makes me cringe.
O-Okay. Um, who are you guys? How did you get that AMAIM—
Are you an idiot?
Gashin.
A Japanese person piloting an AMAIM and fighting the military.
We are members of "Yatagarasu," fighting to reclaim Japan.
Ah, an encounter with a real terrorist, then.
Wh-Where are you taking us?
To our base camp.
This is the terrorists' lair...
Hey, you're back, Gashin!
- Looks like everything worked out. - Yeah.
Is he the kid everyone's talking about?
Doesn't look like he's got much spunk.
Okay then. I'm going to take these to maintenance.
Thank you!
Wait...
You don't have a say in this.
Welcome back, Gashin! Is he Shiiba Amou?
Oh, yes, I am.
Hello. I'm Kozaki Risa. Nice to meet you.
Ah, nice to meet you, too.
You're blushing.
Shut it.
Come with me. Boss wants to talk to you.
I'm the leader of Yatagarasu's Special Forces Group Two, Kumai Goken.
I-I'm Shiiba Amou.
May I ask a few questions?
Of course.
First of all, do you have any accomplices?
Secondly, how did you come across that AMAIM and assemble it?
What is the code name of the autonomous AI connected to that AMAIM?
It's Gai.
Are you the creator of Gai?
N-No, I'm not.
I found that AMAIM in an abandoned facility deep inside the mountains.
I assembled it using manipulators and winches already there.
For parts that were out of commission, I went to find alternative ones.
I don't have an accomplice.
I found Gai inside the woods.
Inside the woods?
It's the truth. Apparently, Gai modified the cockpit so it could get in...
Thanks to my foresight.
Shut it.
Amou.
Y-Yes?
Let me be straight with you. That AMAIM belongs to us.
One of our backers provided us with that AMAIM.
While the dev concept is different, it's the same series as Gashin's "Jogan."
MAILeS...
Yes, MAILeS. We shipped the parts for MAILeS: KENBU to our Shikoku branch.
The plan was to send out a pilot along with a combat AI after its completion.
But the Shikoku branch fell before that.
We lost all communication and had no clue where it was.
That's when you assembled and activated it.
What's your point? You gonna claim ownership?
Gai!
Not a bad idea, but that just isn't fair for you guys.
So, Shiiba Amou.
Y-Yes?
What do you think about joining us?
Join a terrorist group?
We're not terrorists. We're the Resistance.
We don't harm anyone who's unarmed.
I-I'm sorry.
With just the two of you, you assembled Kenbu and won two battles.
We find your strengths very interesting.
What do you say?
But...
You're against it?
Right now, I'm just fighting drones, but I'll eventually have to kill, right?
What about it?!
That AMAIM isn't a toy! It's a weapon used for battles!
Take a look at this!
Japanese people are treated this way all over Japan as we speak!
Yet, you'd hesitate even when you have the power to save them?!
B-But...
I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse him.
It was his father's dream to restore Japan,
but he died before he could realize it.
He was the previous pilot of Jogan, the AMAIM that saved you.
Gashin has taken on his father's will.
If you really are opposed to it,
we'll help you get back to the civilian life.
You'll change your name and live elsewhere.
We have connections with other organizations
throughout the country to do that.
Of course, you'll have to return the AMAIM in that case.
Just think about it.
Will do.
Gashin...
What's up?
Ms. Kozaki...
You can talk to me if something's on your mind.
Ms. Kozaki, why did you join the Resistance?
I used to have a family. My dad, mom, and a little brother.
They all died in a car crash.
The other vehicle belonged to the Asian military.
It was 90 to 100% their fault.
But in this day and age...
They used their extraterritorial rights and ended up getting away with it.
Somehow, they made it our fault.
They even charged me for the damage caused to the military vehicle.
I was just in high school at the time.
That's awful...
I was left all alone.
To this day, I still feel pain, sadness, and hatred.
There must be many others who are going through what I did.
That's why I joined the movement to take back Japan.
Everyone here probably has more or less similar reasons.
I don't have a reason like you or Tezuka have.
My parents died from illness. It had nothing to do with the military.
A sudden illness claimed Dad,
and Mom relied on Dad for everything, so she quickly worked herself to death.
Sure, it was sad and there was a sense of loss, but that's it.
Amou?
When I assembled that AMAIM, it was just to entertain myself.
During the first battle, being able to move the robot I made,
feeling its impact and vibration got my heart pumping and it was fun.
But in the second battle, I almost died.
I'm scared. I'm scared to fight.
To tell you the truth, they told me to convince you to join.
But I'm having second thoughts.
If this was my brother, I'm not sure if I'd ask him to join.
I think I'd want him to run off somewhere and live a peaceful life.
I told you all this because it's my mission,
but please take care of yourself.
People can't be happy all alone...
You're right...
HQ notified us that the Asian military's been on high alert since we rescued Kenbu.
We're going to abort our plan to cut the enemy's supply route.
Once ready, all members will head back to HQ.
Yes, sir.
Do you think Amou will join us?
I'm not sure.
What a weakling...
We can always change out the pilots. It's the AMAIMs we need.
That's true, but...
If push comes to shove, I'll be the pilot.
Useless pilots only hold us back.
Shiiba Amou!
Huh?
Come with me!
I'll train you.
Um, what's this?
Pilots need stamina, too.
It won't hurt to have it, like in cases when you need to run.
You do have a point...
Running, 50m sprint, crunches, back extensions, pushups, squats...
Running, 50m sprint, crunches, back extensions, pushups, squats...
What's this?
It's a light training regiment.
- This is light?! - We'll do three sets.
- What?! - Come on. We don't have all day.
Uh, but...!
What are they up to?
Gashin's dragging Amou around for something.
What's wrong with that? He finally has a friend his age. Let them be.
What's this?
We brought these as spare parts for "Jogan,"
but since they seem to be parts for your AMAIM, I'm gonna install them.
Oh!
Let's call it a day.
It's amazing! Seriously! You should go see!
Sorry, I just can't right now.
Let's go!
I heard Gashin's dragging you around every day.
You haven't touched your food.
You can have mine if that's not enough.
Take some of mine, too.
Ah, no, that's not it...
I'm too tired to even have an appetite...
You should try this, then!
My special blend.
Uh...
Ah, perfection!
Let's move on then and connect the weapons unit.
On it!
Thirty!
We're done for the day.
Shiiba Amou.
I finished assembling the armor that never made it to Shikoku.
Come take a look!
YM-02 Kenbu.
This is Yatagarasu's latest humanoid robot weapon.
It has a combat sword with super thermal vibration
and a 60mm heavy-caliber machine gun.
This is the final form of the MAILeS you assembled.
What do you think? Cool, right?
Or are you sour because you didn't get to work on it yourself?
No, that's not it. I'm blown away by such professional work.
Even the final touch-ups are much better than how I did it.
I didn't know there was a river here.
Since there's not enough bathtubs to go around at the camp,
I sometimes come here to wash the sweat away.
I see.
Whoa!
Come on, what are you waiting for? Take your clothes off, Amou.
Uh, well, I...
You wanna keep your clothes on?
It's not that, but...
Okay!
Cannon ball!
See? It's so cool and refreshing, right?
Huh? What? Did I say something funny?
Oh, no, it's just that this situation...
Boss said we're ready to leave, so we'll be headed to Hiroshima tomorrow.
Have you come to a decision?
I'm still afraid to fight.
But after a few days with everyone, I realize that you're all good people.
I'll come with you.
I also don't want to part ways with Kenbu, now that it's in its final form.
And there's much to learn, so, um...
I see! I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you. We're counting on you.
I'll do my best.
Are you okay with that? I didn't really consult with you.
It's totally fine.
Like I said before. I'll stick with you no matter where you go.
Gai...
That's great! So he'll join us?
Yes, though it's a little complicated...
Are you ready, Amou?
Yeah.
Go!
Wow...
Let me adjust the anti-G. Do a turn and a jump next!
I'll try!
The movement is far better than before.
They did a complete overhaul.
Even the parts we made do with have been upgraded to the most recent models.
Gai! I'm going to test out the sword next.
You got it!
I-It's incredible.
This is the true power of Kenbu...
How'd it go? Did you finish your test run?
Y-Yeah. I'm actually shocked.
It felt about 20% faster than the data being displayed.
But are we allowed to do this?
We've got the green light, and it won't take long.
Under emergency situations, we may have to swap our AMAIMs.
We need to be prepared.
Hopefully, there won't be any emergency situations.
Oh, wait, wouldn't the Asian military find us if we do this?
Are you an idiot?
We're engaged in high-level info warfare to deny satellite and radar usage.
Without it, our base camp would've been spotted ages ago.
Oh, I see.
Anyway, let's get started.
Yo! Nice to work with you!
Yeah.
If he turns out to be useless, I may have to pilot this AMAIM.
Go easy on me.
Y-You, too.
This is mock battle. We have a fake sword,
and you have paintballs that evaporate quickly. You good?
Y-Yeah.
Let's go!
Your dash timing was off!
I know!
Gunfights can end in an instant. Always watch your line of fire and ammo.
Okay!
You need to step into it! Give it more oomph, and then blam! Get fired up!
Shut it! Your job is to just give me data and analysis results!
What?!
Take good aim at them. Those paintballs won't do any damage.
B-But it's all spick-and-span. I don't want to ruin it...
What?!
Yes! That's what I'm talking about!
What an amateur! You think this is a game?!
He's closing in! Change your weapon!
Got it!
A tie, then?
Good, there aren't any big scratches.
Als in MAILeS study the pilot's habits to improve AMAIM controls.
This one seems to know your habits by heart with only two battles in,
allowing you to move like it's your own.
Like my own...
What'd you expect? We're best friends!
Best friends?
What? I'm right, aren't I?
Yeah, you're right. Best friends, huh? I like that.
An explosion?
It came from the base camp!
Gai, about Yatagarasu...
Yeah, it's a raven in Japanese mythology, worshipped as the will of god.
Cut it out, you two. We need to focus on the enemy in front of us.
Enemies...
That AMAIM, it's...!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E04 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Move those parts in that truck over there, now!
We got this! You go ahead and evacuate, Chief!
Chief!
Huh?
Please evacuate, quickly!
Thank you!
Amou!
What is this thing?
I don't know. It's not in my database, either.
Either way, we need to watch out for its left hand!
Gashin, that AMAIM is...!
That arm...!
Gashin, Amou!
We'll draw its attention to us! Use that opportunity to attack!
Ms... Risa...
Above you!
Amou! We need to evacuate everyone!
Can you and Gashin buy us some time?!
Huh...?
Get it together!
Got it!
Gashin, stay calm!
That thing killed my father!
That day, I made a childish request...
I wanna practice on Jogan instead of a training robot today. Is that okay?
Well...
It's fine. My mission is to just patrol nearby areas.
One day, you may have to ride Jogan.
It'd be good to get used to it.
Yeah!
But...
Mayday! We're under attack by an unknown AMAIM—
D-Dad!
By the time I arrived...
Dad!
I'm going to kill you!
Gashin, keep your cool! Your heart rate and blood pressure's skyrocketing—
Hey, stay out of my way!
Gashin! You can't be serious?!
Gashin.
Boss...
You know full well that it's strong.
Work together with Amou, got it?
Roger that.
Gashin, get the weapon!
You're still here?! We need to evacuate, now!
I know, just give me a few more minutes.
What the heck is this AMAIM, anyway?!
Honestly, we don't exactly know either.
It's unmanned and unidentified, and its allegiance unknown.
It keeps popping up all over the place and attacks without warning.
Our sources say even the Asian and North American military have been hit.
Apparently, they call it "Ghost."
"Ghost," huh? How fitting. I tried to look inside its system, but I got nothing.
What a pain!
Do you think we can coordinate well enough?
It's not a question of whether we can or can't! We have to!
R-Right.
It's coming!
Amou!
Be careful! Its power is off the charts! Its limiter is likely disabled!
Don't ignore me!
How is it using our weapon?!
Is the attachment authentication feature offline?!
That's one of its abilities.
It can use any parts or weapons that are lying around on the battlefield...
...regardless of its attachment authentication feature.
Idiot! Don't step in my line of fire!
Why don't you stop firing so sloppily?!
What?!
Dammit, we need to—
No! We'll only get in their way!
They're working together as a team!
That must be due to the autonomous AI's learning capability...
Dammit, we can't finish it off!
We're low on ammo, too!
You two!
Ms. Misuzu?
You can find your weapons here!
Weapons...
We're counting on you!
Eat this.
With these weapons...
...we'll have more tactical options!
It's coming!
We're gonna have to think fast! You ready, Amou?!
Yes!
We've got this as long as we keep our cool. We need to be in sync.
Yeah, I got it.
It's pushing me back...
But if we know its powers, we can easily counter it.
Guns would be more effective against it!
That's what I'm talking about!
I knew you'd try that!
Have a taste of our new weapon!
Now!
Tezuka!
Yeah!
We did it!
Is it over?
I-I can't move.
What's it doing?!
I'm getting a crazy reading!
Its core temperature and energy output gain are spiking!
Wait, does this thing have a self-destruct feature?!
It's effecting the system...
Huh?
Mr. Kumai, sir?
Aim for its joints! Pull it away from them!
Tezuka!
Yeah!
Shoot its hip!
It's gonna blow! We need to run!
Fall back! Everybody, fall back!
It didn't explode?
It looks like the heat source moved away, but it may be lying in wait.
No...
We'll observe for now.
Dammit... I wanted to avenge my dad...
That AMAIM was ready to die. Our AMAIMs couldn't take any more damage, either.
What's the point in avenging your dad's death if you die in the process?
We'll get it next time.
I see. I'm glad you're both safe.
On our side, many are wounded and we're short on weapons, too.
We'll head back to HQ first. Can you take care of the camp?
Yes.
Ghost might still be lurking in the shadows.
Be extra careful and avoid any combat. Our next channel will be F2633.
Roger that.
"Take care" of what?
After all that ruckus,
the Asian military will find our camp soon.
We need to destroy any and all confidential info.
O-Okay...
I'm not picking up any AMAIM signals. Residual heat's gone, too. It's safe.
Amou.
I know...
What's that?
You can talk to me if something's on your mind.
See? It's so cool and refreshing, right?
Thank you. We're counting on you.
People can't be happy all alone...
Amou...
So this is the terrorists' base camp where the fighting occurred.
They've cleaned it out more than I expected.
It's because the Asian military went through everything already.
Though, I'm sure the terrorists didn't leave any sensitive info behind.
One, two... No, three AMAIMs in total.
Oh?
Its movements are better than before.
Did the pilot or AI get better? Perhaps it's the maintenance?
You can tell all that from just this?
Yes, if you look closely.
The evidence speaks for itself.
They were able to work together well.
They also have new weapons, and—
Which three AMAIMs were involved?
One is that original AMAIM we saw at the port.
Another is the sniper AMAIM the terrorists have.
Then, the last one must be...
Yes, it's Ghost.
So this is where it was.
Makes you feel like a kid again, doesn't it, Warrant Officer Raymond Hardy?
Sir?
As you chase something interesting, you get a glimpse of something bigger.
Ah, what a rush!
Amou must be devastated. How's he doing?
He seemed pretty closed off, but he did manage to eat.
He seems to be handling death better than I thought he would.
I understand what he's going through.
He was just a normal boy only a few days ago.
We'll arrange for therapy as soon as we reach HQ.
Keep a close eye on him, will you?
Roger that.
I'm done with the prototypes. Take a look.
Are these...?
I had the Intelligence Agency make them.
The original AMAIM, the sniper AMAIM, and Ghost.
I entered the data I've ball-parked from the terrorists' camp into the base models.
It should be close to their actual spec.
Is this for simulation?
Intel is gold. With it, we're able to develop contingencies.
It's hard to believe that the Japanese terrorists developed these by themselves.
Its specs are higher than our Brady Hound or the Asian military's Nyuren.
I'm with the General Command Center on this one; they likely have backers.
We have a lot of work ahead of us.
More importantly, take a look at this.
They're incredible... I'm surprised the terrorists were able to win.
More like they were able to drive it back.
We already knew its limiters were disabled,
but it may also have boosters or accelerators installed.
A self-improving AI?
There must be a facility somewhere that makes it all possible.
We can't move as freely within the Asian military's territory.
But we can speculate.
Ray, contact the Development Agency.
Wait, you're not thinking about moving it here?
Make sure it's in perfect condition before the roll-out.
Shouldn't you try talking to him?
Leave him be.
Sometimes, you just want to be alone with your thoughts.
Other times, you just need time.
I was the same way.
It's the only way I know.
What is it?
I'm not going any further. I won't be joining the Resistance.
I see. That's fine.
Gashin, are you sure?
It's his decision. I'm sure he put a lot of thought into it.
I'll talk to Boss for you.
Thanks...
But you can't take Kenbu with you. Hide it so the enemies won't find it.
I or someone else will come back for it later.
Just be sure to send me the location of where you hide it.
Okay.
I'm sticking with Amou.
I'll let HQ know.
U-Um, d-don't die, okay?
It's none of your business anymore.
I-I don't want you to!
I'm afraid to die, too, but I'm more afraid of people I know dying!
If I join the Resistance, I'm basically going to the battlefield.
I'm sure I'll get to know a lot more people.
That's why...
Many have said the same thing and left.
I chose to live my life this way.
You should just forget about us.
Okay, then...
Yeah.
Gai...
Yeah.
Sorry, Gai. We're back to a life on the run.
I'm not worried about it.
I also don't think you made the wrong choice.
Anyway, where are we headed off to?
Ms. Risa's hometown.
I want to tell them about Ms. Risa, at least as much as I know.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E05 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Thank you!
I really can buy things...
I told you! I hacked into the database and re-wrote your ID and warrant data.
You should be thankful!
So what are you going to do?
I want to visit Ms. Risa's hometown.
I know her family's gone,
but maybe I can return this to her relatives...
But first, I need to find the address.
I'm a step ahead of you! I already looked it up.
What?
I found an article about the car accident Risa and her family were involved in.
I then went through the resident cards in that city and found them.
Aren't you glad that I'm here for you?!
I really am.
I never got to say it properly, but thanks for sticking with me.
I would've decked you if you said you'd go without me!
How?
I'd use Kenbu!
I'd die!
That's true!
All right, then!
Yeah, let's go!
Take him away!
Next!
Japanese criminals, huh?
Entertainment to increase my appetite.
It also serves as a lesson to others. It's a win-win.
Ever since you became deputy governor, public order has dramatically improved.
Using a stick is the best way to train those idiots.
You know, it's violence, power, and money you need to control people.
And you have them all.
I need more. One day, I'll return to HQ, triumphantly.
I suppose we'll see many more, then.
Many more Japanese rebels who'll die from illness or go missing.
They're nothing but prey to me.
Is this the place?
Yeah, I'm positive.
I checked the map data. I don't see any other Kosaki's nearby.
M-Maybe her relatives or someone would know something.
Excuse me!
Oh, hello! Ah...
Looks like this is going to be hard.
Hi, there.
Are you Risa's friend?
Huh?
Hina!
Who are you?
U-Um, I came to know Ms. Risa recently, and I brought this...
Not here. Follow me.
The Asian military destroyed Risa's home.
She had no family left, and since she joined the Resistance,
this guy who was recently assigned as deputy governor sanctioned it.
Several other homes were destroyed for similar reasons.
They even went after their family members.
It was basically oppression.
Fearing for their lives, Risa's relatives all moved away.
No one knows where they are now.
I see...
Are you hurt?
Oh, not at all! I'm not hurt, but thanks for asking.
Good!
Most people know each other around here.
An outsider like you would stand out.
So where are we going?
A place with some privacy.
I want to hear a little more about Risa.
Is this the guy Mr. Nose was talking about?
He knows Risa?
He's cute!
Is he a member of the Resistance, too?
Uh, no, I'm...
Tsutomu! Stop fooling around!
But we don't have any other customers!
Um...
This is Namba's place.
They're Risa's childhood friends.
I called them here.
We've known her since elementary school.
We have this comradery between us.
We were shocked when Risa told us that she was joining the Resistance,
but it kinda made sense.
I know.
She was pretty kick-ass!
More than you were!
No way!
Um, what was Ms. Risa like when she was younger?
She hasn't changed, really.
She joined the baseball team and played amongst the boys up until middle school.
Huh?
After practice, she and her brother, Satoru, would go home holding hands.
Yeah. They looked so happy.
Remember that one time Risa bawled her eyes out?
Oh yeah, I remember!
She was set on winning that perfect attendance award, but she caught a cold.
I never thought she could cry like that.
I see...
So where's Risa?
When Risa left this town,
she told us she wouldn't keep in touch with us to avoid getting us into trouble.
Thanks for letting us know.
Not at all...
What was she like?
She was very kind.
She was kind, and did her absolute best to protect others.
I see. It's just like her.
He came here to return that to Risa's relatives.
That's right. But...
They all left.
So I would like to bring it to her family's grave.
Where her family rests in peace...
Does anyone know where it is?
I know!
The Kosaki family's grave, right?
It's in the mountains, so it'll take some time.
It's too late today, so you can spend the night here.
You sure?!
I wouldn't hang someone who came all the way here to dry.
I don't want to be a bother—
It'd bother me more knowing a kid is walking around by himself!
She's not gonna tell you where the grave is unless you stay!
Right, Mrs. Namba?
Yeah, that's right.
That's settled, then!
Okay, then I'll whip you up some dinner!
What do you want?
- Pork and fried egg okonomiyaki for me! - Huh?
- I want mine with squid tempura and green onions! - What?!
You two sure don't waste an opportunity.
Everyone's grateful for you.
Huh?
There isn't much to do here, but I hope you can stay a bit and enjoy.
This is Risa's hometown.
Thank you.
Okay, dig in!
It was so yummy and fun!
I'm glad you had fun.
Will he stay here forever and ever?
I don't know about forever and ever, but you'll see him tomorrow.
Yay!
Hina!
Look what you did.
Look! You made me spill a 24-year-old wine on my uniform.
Deputy Governor...!
You Japanese... Do you know what this means?
You finished it sooner than I thought you would.
You told us to hurry.
Still, no corners were cut, no compromises were made!
I've apparently underestimated the Development Agency's ability.
Model number NA12S.
This is your exclusive Brady Hound, Captain Brad.
All outputs and mobility are tuned to be at its maximum.
Even within the North American military, there's no other AMAIM like this.
You have my gratitude, Charlie. My heart's dancing with joy.
Are you planning on taking them on?
Yes. I'm going to hunt down the terrorists' original AMAIM and Ghost!
What do you mean?!
How could Mr. Nose disappear?!
Hina never came to the preschool, so I tried calling, but he never picked up.
I got worried so I went to their place,
but it was empty, furniture and all.
But their car was still there! Something's not adding up!
- Did they move? - Or skip town?
- They never mentioned anything. - Why would they leave their car behind?
I've heard a rumor about something like this...
The new deputy governor had his eyes on this one guy.
Then, one night, he just disappeared, along with all of his furniture and stuff.
Apparently, he was considered rebellious.
I heard he was sent to Asian Free Trade Entente for forced labor,
or maybe even sold to human traffickers.
What?!
Mr. Nose wasn't a rebel!
I-I'm just saying...
Even if that's really true...
Gai!
Who are you?
A customer of ours.
Whose voice was that?
Um, it's actually accessing my phone to talk,
but this is Gai, an autonomous AI.
It'd be in the data logs if a military vehicle was used.
But there's no record of people or items being transported during that time.
The Nose family should still be here somewhere!
Do you really expect us to believe all that?!
How's the audio device you recently purchased working, Mr. Yazu?
H-How did you—
Vinyl records? That's a cool hobby.
If you want, I can dig up your credit card history, too?
Stop it!
I know Gai has a mouth, but it's actually a good AI...
If you could just trust Gai...
What should we do?
Let's go see the deputy governor.
If the military is involved, we'll ask him to release them.
Mr. Nose hadn't done anything wrong!
That's right!
I'll go with you, too!
I never liked the way the military did things!
I want to give them a piece of my mind!
I see, Amou isn't joining us.
That's unfortunate, but we can't force him.
Right.
We're almost at HQ. How about you?
It's going to take a bit longer.
I'm trying to move under the radar,
and I also need to conserve the remaining energy.
Understood. Keep your eyes open.
By the time you arrive, we should be able to introduce our newest member to you.
You mean...?
Yes, she'll be riding the AMAIM with the same series as Kenbu and Jogan.
This new pilot's a 16-year-old girl, the same age as you.
Yup! Looks cute!
Last minute requests are very difficult to handle.
I need to coordinate with the buyer and—
You're willing to let a business opportunity pass?
You should be ready to act if opportunity knocks.
You've got me there.
You said a man and a girl?
We'll send the man to the sweatshop and the girl will—
I'm not interested.
The buyer's free to do whatever they want to.
It doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm paid.
Very true.
Hm? What's going on?
Japanese civilians are protesting outside the gate.
They're demanding to speak to you, Deputy Governor. What are your orders?
Seems the golden eggs came to me themselves.
I hope Namba and the others are okay...
Yeah...
- Hello? - You need to run, Mrs. Namba!
Kaede?!
What's wrong?
I'm near the base, but Namba and the others were arrested!
They're being treated as an antigovernment force,
and vehicles were sent out to go after their family members as suspects, too!
So you need to go!
I looked into it!
It's true, military vehicles are headed this way.
Some are headed towards the other protestors' families.
They'll be here in less than five minutes!
Kaede, you said you're near the base, right?
You also need to leave, right now!
Huh? Wh-Why me?
If the soldiers find you and suspect something, they'll arrest you, too!
Hurry!
O-Okay!
Mrs. Namba, we need to go, too!
Shiiba, will you be okay by yourself?
Huh?
They'll tear you to shreds once they find out you're Risa's acquaintance.
What?
Don't worry! We'll buy you time.
- That's right. - Yeah.
B-But...!
Don't worry! We know the area like the palm of our hands!
The Asian military won't catch us so easily.
Take this.
It'll take you to the Kosaki family's gravesite.
I'm sorry I can't take you there myself.
No...
Take care.
Amou! We don't have time!
Off you go!
The soldiers are coming!
Are you sure you don't want to sell them off as well?
Excess supply will cause prices to fall.
Besides, I also need to prove my worth to the upper ranks to return to HQ.
I see.
These rebels are guilty of attempted mutiny against the AFTE!
The Asian military court has sentenced these arrestees to the death penalty.
A public execution will be held
to keep the peace for our future and for our allies!
Hey, stop recording!
I-I'm not recording anything!
These videos are from nearby security cameras and cell phones that I've hacked.
You can see what's going on.
Yeah.
Attempted mutiny, my ass! We were only here to protest!
We did nothing wrong!
This is illegal! I'm going to file charges! I'll—
Mr. Yazu!
Even criminals have the right to object.
However, a court ruling has already been made, and this is AFTE territory.
You understand?
They're gonna kill them... All of them...
Amou...
I'm a coward...
So many people helped me so many times,
and yet, I ran away by myself...
...hiding in a place like this!
Calling yourself a coward means you don't like that part about you, right?
Then, just do what you want! I'll support you all the way!
Based on the 23rd military tribunal,
we will be executing these 12 criminals!
- Tsutomu! - Mrs. Namba...
Take aim!
Wh-What's that?!
Firing squad, fall back! Nyuren, attack!
Attack!
How does it feel to be attacked by an overwhelming force?! Scary?! Painful?!
You're an adult, so why can't you understand something so simple?!
Shame on you for using your power to make money off human trafficking!
How'd you find that out?!
Wow, a confession already!
All that data on your dual bookkeeping and secret accounts were for nothing!
By the way, your slip-up along with the data has been sent all over the world!
Bravo!
Terminate him immediately.
Confirm the facts and prepare a statement to provide to the foreign nations.
Send a unit there, and do not let that AMAIM get away!
Yes, sir!
Mark my words! If you bully the Japanese people like this ever again,
I, no, Kenbu will make sure that you're crushed!
We'll be watching your every move!
I mouthed off...
Why did I let my emotions get the better of me...
Aw, come on, don't be like that. You found the resolve to do this, right?
Right?!
Yeah!
Mr. Nose!
I'm so glad you're both all right!
Good!
You came.
Looks like you finally made your decision, Amou.
Yeah, I did. I'm sorry we kinda took a roundabout way.
No need to apologize! So where to next?
Apparently to HQ. But they have a mission for us before that.
A mission?

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E06 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

My grandpa was a potter of Himeno wares.
An old kiln and the long-established techniques were passed down to him.
I loved the rustic and elegant ceramics that Grandpa made.
But... five years ago...
The Asian military confiscated the land where Grandpa's studio was located.
We had no say in the matter.
All we could do was silently watch...
...as they destroyed our kiln.
Grandpa grew despondent, seemingly aging faster.
After seeing him like that, I made a promise...
That one day, I will bring back Himeno wares.
The control module is fried.
Did sand get into it?
We can limit the transmission path,
but the performance will drop significantly.
How's it looking on your side, Amou?
The joints around the MST bearing and cylinder cushions are worn out.
It'll put a load on other parts if we don't replace it soon.
There's not much energy left, either. We need to find a place to recharge.
I wish I could go there and work on them myself...
Out of the question!
Why do you think we returned to HQ separately?
Do you want the Asian military to find us?
Well then, I'll have a local helper arrange for substitute parts.
That way, you guys can still move.
Just keep in mind that any vigorous movements or combat
will still be difficult.
Roger that.
What now?
We're running low on food as well. Let's stop by a nearby city.
Don't forget to recharge us!
That hits the spot!
It'll take some time since we're slowly recharging to avoid detection.
But with this much camouflage, it'll be fully charged long before we're found.
Right. We'll be on alert and will be connected to your cellphones.
Okay, let's go.
O-Okay.
This impresses you? You're so lame.
Give me a break! I never had to stay at a hotel when I was in Oceanian terri—
Don't mention other territories, idiot. We want to avoid suspicion.
Oh...
S-Sorry...
Anyway, why don't you two hit the showers? You both smell.
How can you tell?
Do you have an odor detection sensor?
I can tell from other people's reactions.
Hurry up and wash yourselves. Don't forget to clean your clothes, too.
I don't smell. I don't smell. I don't smell.
I don't smell. I don't smell. I don't smell.
I don't smell!
I'm glad we were able to grab some stuff, too.
I'm glad we were able to grab some stuff, too.
Yeah. Ms. Misuzu left us a message.
Looks like the parts are ready. We'll go pick them up tomorrow.
Okay.
Thank you for the food!
It's been a while since I had a decent meal.
You don't like those?
Gashin's a picky eater. Not only does he hate carrots and peppers,
but he also refuses to eat cucumbers or eggplants as well.
You're like a kid.
What?!
S-Sorry...
I never had a lot of friends, so I don't know what to do in moments like these.
It's like I don't know how friendly or distant I should be...
Don't feel bad, Amou!
Gashin's only glaring to hide his embarrassment.
Yeah, that's right! There's nothing he can say because it's true!
Shut up.
Feel free to call these things out, Amou.
Gashin doesn't listen to me anymore, but maybe if it comes from a friend...
But he's not really the listening type!
You need to shut up.
This is payback for calling Amou lame!
What?!
Mark my words! If you bully the Japanese people like this ever again,
I, no, Kenbu will make sure that you're crushed!
We'll be watching your every move!
Thanks to this video, the AFTE is under international scrutiny.
They're trying to put out the fires, but it'll take some time.
The revolutionary hero, huh?
This is great. Just great, don't you think, Oliver?
Sir?
I was getting bored of coastal security. Now we can have an all-out battle.
Afterall, we now have just cause: save the Japanese people from oppression.
We can blame everything on the Asian military even if we go a little overboard.
I can't wait. Every cell in my body is tap dancing with joy.
So you have a plan then?
Yes. We'll attack the AFTE territory and make it our bridgehead.
Make the necessary arrangements.
Yes, sir.
The smell of blood and smoke is the highlight of a battlefield.
Look
The city of AFTE and the city where Japanese people live.
Pleasure and control versus poverty and slavery...
This is the current state of Japan.
One day, I'm going to change this. That's a promise.
Yeah.
This is the place.
Welcome!
You know the AFTE laws. I can't sell any liquor to kids.
We're running an errand.
Doesn't matter. A guardian needs to be present.
Hattan Nishiki. C10M koji starter. Brewery kit.
It should be under the name Maki Misuzu.
Wait there.
What's going on?
Most helpers have a front.
That was a cipher, a secret code.
We ask for them to gather intel, or ship and store supplies.
That's how our organization works.
Here they are. Oof, they're heavy.
They aren't authentic parts, so they won't last.
But they should be enough to get you moving again.
Hey, you're that kid who fought the Asian military.
Uh, that was—
You were absolutely amazing!
It was a rewarding moment. We're counting on you.
Oh, of course. Thank you.
You're a celebrity.
I told you, I wasn't—
He wasn't lying when he said he's counting on you.
That's what drives us to fight.
Yeah, I get it.
Hey, is that cargo ship scheduled to be at the port today?
I'm checking now. I'm assuming it was cleared if it's there, but...
We're under attack by the Oceanian military!
How could we have allowed the enemy to infiltrate us?!
We currently have two platoons handling the situation.
I expect nothing less. Send reinforcements.
Damn the Oceanians and their sneaky tactic of masquerading as a cargo ship.
I didn't think they'd act so quickly.
Hiding behind public opinion? We'll show them.
You two! Refugees need to go this way!
Oh, but we're actually—
Just do what they say. It's over if they suspect something and check our bags.
O-Okay, got it.
Two new enemy reinforcement platoons have arrived!
Not fast enough. Plus, sending troops in increments is a foolish strategy!
Spread out the battlefront! We're going for their local command center!
Don't hold back! Destroy the enemy units!
Trample on the urban districts and march forward!
The battle is reaching the city limits.
Evacuating the Japanese people is the last thing on the Asian military's mind.
We have to do something!
Leave it to me! I'll do what I did last time, but in reverse.
In reverse?
I'll hack into their cellphones and guide them to safety.
I'll have to simultaneously analyze the map and tactical situation data, but—
Let me help.
Hey, don't push...
We'll also use the display monitors in the city. Just sit back and watch.
It's okay, don't be scared.
Hey, can you hear me?
Say something if you can.
- What...? - A lamb?
Y-Yup, a lamb. I'm a lamb. Baa.
What's your name, sweetie?
Mami.
I see! Well, Mami, I'm gonna show your mom where to go for safety.
Can you protect your mom and not let go of her hand?
Okay, I can do that!
Good. Now's your chance, go!
Keep going straight and head for the underpass.
Keep going straight and head for the underpass.
Don't worry, I'll keep giving you directions.
Don't worry, I'll keep giving you directions.
Turn right. I'll direct you again once you reach the end.
You're almost there!
How's it going?
Little by little, people are getting to safety.
But there are many more. We have to stay alert.
Dammit, there's too much data to process.
It's hogging all my resources!
We need to help, too!
Help how?
Like calling Kenbu and Jogan here to stop the fighting.
Have you forgotten that our AMAIMs aren't in any condition to fight?
Even with the parts.
Besides, it's too far out. It'll take too long for them to get here.
So we're just gonna let this happen?!
Do you think I'm happy with this situation?!
Dammit!
Crap, the frontline is drawing near the evac site!
The frontline's been breached!
The evac site will—
Leave it.
Their goal is the local command center.
We need to do everything to protect it until backup arrives.
We have guards stationed on site, right?
Yes, about two units.
Then we have our excuse.
We can turn the tables on the Oceanian military
if something happens there.
Hey, let us out of here!
They're fighting nearby, aren't they?!
I don't wanna die!
No, we haven't received our orders! Stay where you are, or else!
- Oh, no! - Step away!
Run!
Hold it right there, villains!
That AMAIM...
Is that the one Boss was talking about?
We lost communication with platoon 4!
What?!
An unidentified AMAIM is closing in on the frontline at an alarming speed!
How is it jumping so far?
Hey, now! I can't just ignore a war now, can I?!
You must be a devil to stain this peaceful city with blood!
Bring it on, I'll take you all down!
The knight in shining armor, Reiki is here!
Wh-What is that AMAIM?
Doesn't matter! Destroy them all, including that idiot!
What?!
All units, open fire!
It can fly?!
Platoons 3 and 5 have been wiped out.
We've lost 40% of our forces.
Fall back.
Statistically, this is a catastrophic defeat!
If we keep at it, we'll be dead long before we establish a bridgehead!
We have to retreat before they can cut us off. Gather the troops!
Y-Yes, sir!
Incredible...
It sure made an impression.
Looks like that AMAIM is one of ours.
What?!
It sent us the coordinates for the rendezvous point.
U-Um, thanks for what you did back there.
It was amazing! You fought off both the Oceanian and Asian military—
The one with the pigtails is Shiiba Amou, and spiky head is Tezuka Gashin?
P-Pigtails?
Spiky head?!
And their partners Gai and Kei.
I'm Angelo, an Italian gentleman that adores women and hates men.
Italian gentleman?
Has it lost its mind?
Watch your mouth. Who do you think saved your sorry butts?
You should thank me, worship me, answer at my beck and call!
Swear to me that you will give your lives to me as my underlings.
It must be an idiot.
I think its logic program is shot.
Seems like it.
Really, is the concept of "gratitude" foreign to you?
I expect better for my princess' servants.
Princess?
If you would, my princess, please come out to speak to these ignorant servants.
Who're you calling ignorant servants?!
Please grace us with your presence.
Oh, n-nice to meet you! I'm—
They already know our names, remember?
Oh, yeah.
How dare you make my princess cry?! You'll pay for this!
I-I didn't do anything!
We have three MAILeS now! Our forces are growing stronger!
Keep your guard up. We picked up some movement from the North American military.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E07 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

I'm sorry I just started crying back there.
I'm so embarrassed...
Don't worry about it. We actually owe you, so thanks.
They sent me to help with the fighting that erupted nearby. I'm glad I did okay.
Oh! I never introduced myself! I'm Shishibe Shion. Nice to meet you.
N-Nice to meet you.
Um...
Gashin, say something!
This isn't important.
Anyway, that move you did back there was so cool!
I used to take naginata lessons when I was a kid,
and thanks to our AMAIM, I'm able to fly.
I was just a bit scared since this was my first actual fight.
Your first?
I used to be Yatagarasu's helper to support their movement.
But this one told me I'd be a good pilot.
I have good foresight.
I bet she was just your type.
I think you're right.
Sure, that accounts for 100% of my reasoning.
That was your only reason?!
Who cries just because it's their first fight?
Tezuka!
I'm sorry...
Unlike you, my princess is a delicate flower, you dumbass!
What?
Stop it, Nayuta.
Nayuta?
I thought you said your name's Angelo.
Nayuta is an alias I use to keep a low profile. Angelo is my soul's name.
Do you get it?
Not at all...
I don't expect a simple AI to comprehend my logic algorithm.
That's it, you're going down!
Bring it!
This is Captain Brad Watt and Warrant Officer Raymond Hardy, reporting for duty.
I specifically called you here because our intelligence team has located Ghost.
Take a look.
Past records prove that
Ghost is an unmanned unit with an autonomous AI.
The Japanese terrorists seem to also possess similar Als,
but their procurement method is unknown.
However, its combat ability is extremely impressive.
No one, including the North American, Asian, Eurasian, and Oceanian military,
has succeeded in the practical applications of an autonomous AI.
To gain the upper hand, the top brass wants to obtain it at any cost.
We need you to capture or destroy Ghost.
Destroy, sir?
To stop others from obtaining it instead.
Ghost is currently hiding in Asian territory.
But the Asian military has their hands full with the Oceanians, leaving us open.
This is our chance. Pick your own team and figure out a plan. Got it?
Understood, sir!
It's been a while, Brad.
You should consider going home during your next leave.
Your mother wants to see you.
I understand, Father.
You're going to cram every job there is into your schedule, aren't you?
During your next leave.
By the time I'm done with one mission, another takes its place.
It is what it is.
I still can't get used to this.
I haven't been to Tokyo in two years, but it's changed so much.
Hey, since we're here, why don't we stop by somewhere?
A taiyaki shop?
I guarantee you it's the best in the country. It's delicious.
Thank you for waiting.
I think you gave me too much.
It's our way of saying thank you to the North American Confederation.
This is nothing compared to the hard work you do to restore our country.
Thank you.
"Restoration of Japan" sounds nice, but in reality,
most of Tokyo, including the land and buildings,
is under the control of our military, government,
or companies associated to NAC.
Even Japan's defense system is under our command.
Gaining back autonomy while its capital is still under the controls of NAC...
It will slowly but surely result in the colonization of Japan.
Captain, keep your voice down.
Do they not understand this, or are they turning a blind eye?
It's even possible that Japan would become a new state.
Are you against that?
I suppose, if it means not being able to eat these treats anymore.
Yes, they're certainly delicious.
What did I tell you?
It's not that I don't want to go home.
As you're aware, I'm an adopted son of Deputy Commander Spears.
There were other children like me in his household.
But I was never able to fit in like they were able to.
I've had many sleepless nights.
One day, Father took me to the base
and I saw an AMAIM for the first time.
I couldn't help but admire it.
I snuck into the cockpit
and was finally able to sleep soundly.
That was the first time since the day I was adopted by the Spears family.
Is that why you prefer manned AMAIMs?
I'm not sure, but it certainly makes up a core part of who I am as a soldier.
All right, let's get to work.
Why do we have to stay at a hotel?
We can't let my princess camp out. Besides, this is perfect for her.
It's a waste of money.
I'm sorry...
Gashin, you should learn a thing or two about empathy.
What?
Now that there are three AMAIMs, it's got me wondering where they come from.
No other militaries have anything like them.
A company called Brenson Corp provides goods and services to the Resistance.
Apparently, their HQ's in Europe, but who knows?
It's an off-the-record company.
Can they be trusted?
So far, we've never had any problems. They've been extremely cooperative.
Is that where you two were developed, too?
No, we, I-LeS, were developed by a different institution.
I-LeS?
Intelligence Learning System.
An AI system capable of learning on its own.
"Autonomous AI" is close enough.
"MAILeS" is what Yatagarasu and Brenson Corp call AMAIMs with I-LeS.
I see...
I took a look at Gai's source code, and I saw a few similarities with ours.
Huh?
Each developer has their own particular way of writing code,
so it's safe to say we were created by the same person.
But I don't know why Gai was discarded in Oceanian territory.
So you're like siblings?
Right you are.
That's so depressing.
- Hey, that's my line! - Ow! You're dead meat!
Stop fighting in such a tight space.
Play nice.
Jeez...
I wonder if Gai wants to know how it ended up in that place?
Not really. It's not like knowing the reason will change anything.
Besides, I like the situation I found myself in.
We're besties, after all!
Yeah.
First Lieutenant Roger Young and Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis,
reporting for duty!
Thank you for coming.
Frankly, I'm not happy with this mission, sir.
Second Lieutenant...
Ghost is dangerous, so why risk lives by sending in manned AMAIMs?
Wouldn't unmanned AMAIMs be sufficient?
That would require an entire troop.
Even with their hands full, the Asian military won't let us slip by.
That's why I picked just two of our best pilots. Only a select few are going.
I can make it work!
Second Lieutenant!
I know you're good.
You won the Tactical Simulation Match twice in a row, yes?
But you can prove your worth later.
Follow my lead on this one.
If you can't, there may never be a next time.
This way. Let's start our strategy meeting.
Let's go. We need to get to HQ by today.
Okay.
The interference around here is strong, so the Asian military won't find us.
Are you two nervous?
Just a little.
Absolutely not.
That's reassuring, but keep your guard up. We're up against a formidable enemy.
Our operatives will cut off the power to the cave where Ghost is hiding.
At the same time, we'll blow up all the exits except one.
It's time.
Without power, it'll eventually run out of energy if it tries to wait us out.
It'll have no choice but to come out from the only remaining exit.
Even if it knows it's a trap.
Do you think this'll work?
Yes. Ghost is extremely violent and aggressive. It won't think twice.
We're in place.
Activate!
Dropping off the AMAIMs.
Nice to meet you, Ghost. I'm here for your head.
Stick to the script! Fan out!
Its armor's tough!
Don't think we're playing dirty by ganging up on you, Ghost.
Numbers have always been important in wars.
It's hesitating.
It probably doesn't have much combat experience against manned AMAIMs.
It hasn't formulated combat patterns for this kind of battle.
Now's our chance!
Roger that!
You're not getting away!
Warrant Officer Hardy!
- What?! - Second Lieutenant!
Launching seekers!
A jamming feature?!
Tech!
I'm going to borrow this!
What?!
Purge left arm!
First Lieutenant!
I'm fine!
Wh-What kind of robot is that?! Our intel never said anything about that feature!
Even its movements are insane! It pretended to target me, but—
It was actually trying to lure me out?
Is it already learning how to combat people and play mind games?
If that's true, this is going to be tricky.
What is it?
I don't know. I thought I heard something.
Me, too. Did anyone else hear it?
- No. - Nope.
No.
I didn't detect any suspicious audio data.
Did we imagine it?
Okay, we'll switch at the next block.
R-Right.
This is crazy!
It's impervious to our attacks.
It's improving.
It's growing stronger as time goes on... What a monster!
Let's go! We need to create an opening for them!
No, don't get too close!
Did we do it?!
It highjacked them?!
Dammit, how is it doing that?!
Roger!
First Lieutenant!
Ray, Sofia, can you grant me access to your AMAIMs?
It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but...
I understand. It's just like old times.
We'll do as you say. I owe you my life.
Thank you. We're going all-in to win this fight!
Amazing... He's evading the enemy's attacks with such precision...
This is how he commands.
Depending on the situation, the pilot's judgement is prioritized.
I bet the combat Als wouldn't think to use guns like this.
Charge in!
Yes, sir!
You're mine!
Second Lieutenant!
What?! From the ground?!
Ghost!
Roger...
His AI was just barely functioning. It was only enough for one shot, but...
I'm sorry, Roger. I may have tarnished your death, but...
I swear on your honor...
...that I'm going to kill Ghost!
What?!
It's using the last aircraft!
Damn you, Ghost!
I promise to beat you and capture you!
Remember my name, Brad Watt!
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Udou Kiryu, the head of Yatagarasu.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming.
Gashin, Shion, we appreciate your hard work.
It was no problem...
Sorry to immediately get down to business, but I'd like you to meet someone.
He is our liaison to Brenson Corp.
I'm just a salesperson.
Hello, it's great to meet the young pilots of Yatagarasu.
I'm German Gobert.
I'd like to establish a good relationship with you.
Let's keep this business of war thriving, shall we?
Doesn't that German guy seem shady to you?
He's dependable, though.
Chairman Udou...
You don't have to be so nervous around me, Amou.
Oh, all right.
I just want you to know that we're not only interested in fighting.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E08 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Is that...?
Let me reintroduce myself. I'm German Gobert, a salesperson from Brenson Corp.
Our company can provide you with anything that's war-related.
I'll be around for a few days, so please let me know if you need anything.
I actually came to deliver the new armor,
but I asked if I could meet you.
It's an honor to meet the pilots Yatagarasu prides themselves in.
I heard great things about you. I'm glad Yatagarasu is in good hands.
The Resistance needs all the help we can get.
You know, I would love it if you would join us to see the new armor.
I do hope it meets your expectations.
Kenbu has a newly engineered arm,
while grenade launchers were added to Jogan
along with a 45mm rapid fire handgun.
They're all cutting edge close-combat equipment.
The handgun is housed in a weapon rack, just like with Kenbu.
The grenade launchers are installed on both shoulders,
capable of launching various grenades while acting as a shield.
The new arm on Kenbu has retractable claws installed,
which uses the same super thermal vibration technology as the combat sword.
How is it engineered to counter-balance claws that size?
No battery pack means it's being directly powered by the robot.
That means I can fight without worrying about battery power. I see...
You have eyes for the geeky stuff.
It's me.
I see. All right, I'll be there.
Yes, please take care of them until we arrive.
Did something happen?
Do you want to tag along?
People really live here.
According to the records, this village was deserted 20 years ago.
It should be abandoned.
This is our chairman who I spoke to you about.
Nice to meet you. I'm Udou.
I'm Fudou Yuuji, the elder of the Fudou family that resides here.
Thank you for meeting us.
Not at all. Kumai has explained your situation to me.
This is the data pertaining to the Fudou family we created.
I see. So, there are currently nine people living here?
Yes, for about a week.
We have no water or electricity, but at least we have shelter...
Daddy!
- Daddy?! - Y-You didn't tell me...
C-Congratulations!
N-No!
What?
Stop that, Riko! I'm sorry, she lost her father when she was a baby,
so she does this to people sometimes. Please excuse her.
It's fine...
We're about to run out of food, but we can get water and fish from the river.
We're all working together to make due.
Riko's good at finding mushrooms!
I can start a fire!
Why go through so much trouble to stay here?
Our city turned into a war zone.
We stayed at an evacuation center, but that was shut down, too.
We had no choice but to go back, but it was completely destroyed.
Same goes for our relatives, and we barely made it to this abandoned village.
It's a tough life, but we'll be safe from the war here.
We plan on staying here for the safety of our family.
I see.
But you don't have electricity or water, and are running low on food.
That's right.
Is there anything we can do to help?
What?
It's only natural for us to help out our friends who lost so much in the war.
Thank you so much!
Yay! I get to live with Daddy!
We really do give people a helping hand...
Fighting isn't the only thing Yatagarasu does.
Helping those who lost their homes in the war
will also lead to the restoration of Japan.
That's what the chairman believes in.
Our mission here is to improve their living environment.
They're short on water, electricity, food, everything.
Water and electricity have been cut off, so we need to think of an alternative.
Should we pull water from the river?
It's pretty far away.
How about digging a well?
Maybe, but it'll have to be pretty deep.
What about electricity?
Solar panels are too expensive...
The geography here prevents the use of wind power, though.
Thermal power is gonna be tough, too.
That leaves us with hydraulic power?
What to do...
Okay, we have a plan!
We'll break into three teams to build a well, waterwheel, and farmland!
Yes, sir!
Ah, I found the motor and battery! It should run if we can fix them up.
It needs to be repaired? Can you do it?
Yes!
An excavator, building materials... Are you sure about this?
There's no money in charity, you know?
Of course! It's to protect the Japanese people.
Well, we're grateful to have any business.
I'll arrange everything to be delivered by tomorrow.
I appreciate you procuring things outside your domain.
Not at all. We're in this together. Thank you for the payment.
Aren't you in a good mood?
Huh? Oh, well, it's been a while since I tinkered.
Let me know if you need help.
Thanks.
You're Atsushi, right? It's beautiful outside!
What do you want? I'm busy.
Don't be like that! We're shorthanded.
Huh? Hey! Wait a minute!
Why do I have to do this?
Look at you! Have you done this before?
I-I won the championship in the plasterwork eSports division.
I see. No wonder you're so good at it.
It's nothing...
Let's fix the floors after this!
Huh?!
Let's drill the well around here.
Okay.
Hey, your daughter's here, Daddy!
I'm working right now.
Mm...
It's delicious.
Yeah! Even more so after a hard day's work!
Thank you for the food!
Why don't you guys start eating, too?
- All right! - I'm starving...
Thank you so much for helping.
Please, this is the least I can do.
Mommy is a chef!
Oh, is that so?
How can you be so delicate with machine maintenance but so bad with rice balls?
Stop being picky!
Riko loves carrots!
Aw, you're such a good girl, Riko. It makes our effort worthwhile.
Isn't this delicious?
Yeah! I want Salisbury steak tomorrow!
What? D-Don't be silly!
All right! We'll do what we can!
- What?! - Woohoo!
I'm so sorry about that...
Please, don't be.
We are truly thankful for everything.
It's been a while since I've seen my family smiling...
This place is going to be their new home.
I want them to grow up to be strong people, taking pride in being Japanese.
Wow, ex-champ! Great work, down to the wire!
Thanks! It's a little trickier than doing it with a controller.
Yeah?
But it feels great to actually work hard!
This is the last of it.
Thanks, Amou.
Okay, we'll take these up. Amou, could you clean up?
The small pieces will be for firewood?
- Yup! - Thanks, kid!
Of course!
Um, did you need something, Ms. Shishibe?
You can call me Shion, Amou.
Oh, okay then, Shion... What is it?
See that over there?
What is it?
I think it's a round kiln. The previous villagers must've been using it.
Huh.
It'd be a shame to waste it, so I was thinking of repairing it.
Maybe it can be used to bake bread, pizza, or ceramics.
Ceramics?
Oh, my grandpa was a potter.
We lost our kiln, but I plan on bringing it back!
Um, I could help with the repair, if you want?
Really?!
Of course.
Hey.
Whatcha doing?
Doing?
We're fixing the kiln.
Kiln?
It's like an old-fashioned oven.
You can bake lots of things, like bread, pizza, even bowls and plates!
Really?! Taku had lots of pretty plates, didn't you?
Yeah, but we lost them all...
Why don't you two make your own, then?
Huh?
I'll show you how.
Woohoo!
Sounds fun!
Wow, that's so cool!
Cool!
Okay, then. Shall we start?
Yup, looks good! Good quality clay, too.
Lemme try!
Me, too!
Let's do it!
Once it's dry and we finish the biscuit firing, let's paint them too.
Okay!
All the materials are installed. How's it looking over here?
We're just waiting for the waterworks.
I'm ready!
The connection looks good!
All right, I'm gonna turn it on!
It's moving smoothly! Great!
- Is it working? - Heck yeah!
This is the good...
...stuff...?
What's wrong?
It's not generating enough.
What?
This isn't enough electricity to support the people living here.
What do we do?
We can add another wheel, or make it bigger?
It hit the bedrock.
I figured the hardness would be softer, but this is unexpected.
Oh-oh. Is there a hiccup here?
According to my measurements, the bedrock is about two meters deep.
It has little cracks and the rocks are packed tight.
It'll be hard to drill through.
But we also know there's a water vein right below it.
The flow amount is expected to be 100 liters per minute! That's plenty.
Yeah, but we can't get through the bedrock, right?
I didn't say we can't.
We can use explosives, but it could cause a cave-in.
We can't take that risk! Isn't there a safer way?
We just need to get a pipe through that can pump the water up, right?
Right.
Then, how about this?
What about now?
Well, it's better than before, but still isn't enough.
- Misuzu's back. - Hey!
We need you to come over.
Cool, right?
Ms. Misuzu, you're so awesome!
I'm gonna call it the "Laser and Pile Bunker Docking Machine"!
Sounds super cool, right?!
Why are you naming it?
It's also lame...
What?!
So we first melt the bedrock with the laser, and then use the pile bunker?
Yup.
Amou, you use the pile bunker!
Why me?!
I'm not gonna operate it if you won't do it! Period! End of story!
Hmph!
What are you saying?
Hey!
Future missions may be affected if he continues to pout.
Don't worry, we'd have your back if something were to happen.
So immature.
Let's do this! Point one!
Huh? What?
Let's! Do! This! Point one!
Laser output at 85%.
Adjusting tilt angle to 12 degrees. Emit beam for ten seconds.
Point two!
Laser output at 93%. Tilt angle to eight degrees.
Emit beam for eight seconds.
Moving on to point three.
Point four.
Point five.
Point six.
Emit beam at the last point!
Amou! Do your thing!
Amou! Do your thing!
Audio input?!
That's right! Here's your line!
Come on! Lemme hear you roar!
Amou!
Attack, Pile Bunker!
Attack, Pile Bunker...?
Amou, I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff.
Th-That's not it...
We've got more than enough water flow!
This is gonna work. Okay!
I'm good, too!
Oh yeah, here it comes!
The amount of power generated has sky-rocketed!
Okay, whenever you're ready!
You wanna do it?
Okay. One, two, three!
Thanks to everyone, we have a future now.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
The ceramics are done!
The fruits of your labor!
Wow! The firing really worked!
It's so cute!
I'm glad you like them!
Daddy! Let's eat dinner together with this plate!
We're having stew for dinner. It'd be hard to eat on a plate.
That's okay! And this time, eat your carrots.
We should go, too.
Right!
Building homes was great, wasn't it, Amou?
Yeah, I had a great time. I really do love making things.
It's not bad.
Hey, that person's been staring at you forever, Tezuka. Do you know him?

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E09 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Have I been making the wrong decisions?
That time...?
That other time?
Will I make the wrong decision again?
Okay, that should be everything for the first delivery.
You can catch the next vehicle arriving around 4pm to get back to HQ.
All right.
Does shopping for supplies always go like this?
Today was mainly just personal stuff for our members.
No wonder we had such a long shopping list.
Are you Gashin...?
I knew it! It's been so long, Gashin!
Big brother Yuu!
You're so big now.
You've grown into a handsome guy.
You, in a suit... I almost didn't recognize you.
I look good, right?
I'm so glad we bumped into each other.
Is he Tezuka's big brother?
He never said anything about having any siblings,
but I've never seen him look like that.
His name is Suenaga Yuusei.
Kei?
He used to live in Yatagarasu HQ with his parents.
Both of his parents died in a battle against the Asian military.
Gashin's father looked after him,
so he and Gashin were raised like brothers.
Three years ago, Yuusei left Yatagarasu without a word.
At the time, Gashin was feeling really down.
I didn't know...
Oh, look at the time.
Sorry, I have to be somewhere.
Can I get your contact info?
Yeah.
I'll call you later. Let's grab a bite or something.
Okay.
Hey, good job!
Thank you for your hard work. Did anything happen while you were out?
I saw Yuu.
You saw Yuusei?! Really?!
How is he?
He was wearing a suit.
Him, wearing a suit?!
I would've liked to have seen that.
He looked pretty good.
Tezuka should smile like that more often.
I agree.
Be nice...
Hard copies? That's rare.
The data's gone, and this print-out's all that's left.
That was around the time you and Yuusei almost got lost in the mountains.
You know about that?
The data was transferred over to me.
I'll never forget that day.
Back then, Yuu and I explored the nearby mountains all the time.
One day, we lost our way and couldn't get home.
Our cell phones didn't work because of electromagnetic interference.
I was so scared, but Yuu, he just...
It'll be okay. I'll protect you no matter what.
I'm your big brother. You can trust me.
Yuu...
From that moment, Yuu became my brother even if we weren't related by blood.
Hey, how are the new weapons?
Not bad. There's little recoil and they're easy to handle.
But the bullet loses its stability at mid-range.
I wonder if it was designed for short-ranged combat.
I'll adjust what I can.
Thanks.
You got it.
Gashin, you got a text message from Yuusei.
Sorry we just tagged along.
No worries. I wanted Gashin's friends to see this, too.
They're not my friends.
Let it go.
So, what did you want to show us?
A city I've built for the Japanese people.
It was delicious.
Are all the residents who live here Japanese?
Yes. Not one person is from the AFTE here.
It's unofficial, but it's a small city with a population of 3,482.
The Japanese people are allowed a degree of autonomy here.
And I'm the mayor of this autonomous city.
An autonomous city...
That's amazing...
Oh, Mayor.
Hello!
Thanks for your help the other day.
"Kimono Shop" Thanks for your help the other day.
"Kimono Shop" It was nothing.
"Kimono Shop" Just don't push yourself too hard,
"Kimono Shop" or you'll hurt your hip again.
Yes, of course. I'll be careful.
Looks like he's well-liked.
Looks like it.
Mommy!
What's wrong? Did you get separated from your mom?
Oh, it'll be okay. Don't worry.
It'll be okay.
Oh, I'm sorry! I just looked away for a few seconds and she...
- Mommy! - Don't scare me like that!
I'm glad you found your mom.
Thank you so much, Mayor!
Bye-bye!
My wish is for all our residents to feel safe living here.
I believe the Japanese people could be protected without sacrificing anyone.
That's why I left Yatagarasu.
What do you mean?
I wanted to go in a different direction.
Yatagarasu chose to fight, but I wanted to try another approach.
That's why you created this autonomous city.
I had to put in a lot of effort, you know?
It was negotiation after negotiation with the Asian military.
My goal is to have this city grow larger.
I want to spread the word about the success of this area to everyone.
That's my plan.
Mayor, there you are.
Oh, I didn't realize the time.
Sorry, I'm needed elsewhere.
I'll talk to you later. Feel free to walk around the city.
He seems busy.
Yeah.
Are you friends with the mayor?
You should stop by my shop.
Here, take this. He takes such good care of us.
U-Um, we're not really...
They gave us so much.
I kinda feel bad.
He really did build this city.
The Asian military allowing an autonomous city is unheard of.
He kept his tone light, but he must've worked really hard for it.
Thanks for coming over.
Is this where you work?
Don't stare so much.
Even an illusion of authority is important in negotiation.
You didn't have to give me anything. The residents gave us plenty.
That's just an excuse. I wanted to talk to you alone.
I'll be direct.
What do you think about leaving Yatagarasu to live here, Gashin?
The number of residents is restricted, so it isn't easy to bring people in.
But I can negotiate with the military if it's just you, a member of my family.
I should be able to get their approval.
No, I will get it.
What do you think?
What are you saying? You think—
I don't want you shooting guns.
I want us to live in this city, together, in peace.
Together?
Yes, together.
You don't have to give me an answer right away.
I want you to think hard about it before answering.
Oh? Is Gashin not with you?
He said he's not hungry.
He seemed off ever since he came back.
Yeah...
Probably some teenage angst.
Just out of nowhere?
Aren't all humans like that?
You're our client's important pilot.
I cannot idly stand by and make light of this situation.
What's this about?
Tread carefully.
Suenaga Yuusei... He's an Asian military spy.
What did you say?!
Intel is part our business, too.
And we guarantee its accuracy.
If you want, intel on nearby Asian military locations is yours.
With the right amount of money, that is.
Suenaga Yuusei worked for the Asian military to build that autonomous city.
He confiscated lands, leaked intel, exposed renegades,
conducted bribery, sometimes even bordering on blackmail.
He sold the Japanese people out to protect the Japanese people.
If you stay in contact,
he'll leak any info on Yatagarasu to the Asian military.
That'll result in a loss of a brilliant pilot and an important client for us.
We'd like to avoid that.
You think I'd believe you?
I can dig deeper, if you'd like?
That's not necessary.
We can keep this talk just between the two of us.
As a gesture of goodwill.
Gashin...
You were listening, right? I don't want you to tell the others.
I understand...
I don't believe him.
Is Gashin all right?
He's been like that since his father died.
He gets out of control whenever we try to drag him outside.
He refuses to eat.
If he keeps this up...
How long are you gonna stay there?
Go away, you're not wanted.
I'm not leaving.
Go away.
I'm not leaving.
Go away!
Why are you crying?
I'm your big brother,
so I'll cry with you when you feel like crying.
That's why I'm not leaving. We're in this together!
Yuu would never do something so stupid...
I'll find out the truth myself.
I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
I didn't notice the other day,
but you can see signs of wear and tear all around.
Everything's a little rundown outside of the central area.
Is that road still not fixed?
The bridge over there is still out, too.
It's been three months already.
You still don't have my medicine?
I'm sorry...
We placed the order, but it's not getting delivered.
Could you ask your doctor if another drug can be substituted?
That's right, there's not enough baby formula and diapers for us.
We're only getting by because a friend gave us some.
Household goods are short in supply and they're also expensive.
Lots of stores are staying closed, too.
I wish they would do something about that.
I know.
Humans will always wish for more.
The living standards of the people here are high.
But once they're accustomed to it,
they start complaining about something else.
That vehicle belongs to the Asian military...
Gashin, there are only autonomous government buildings over there.
What?! That wasn't our agreement!
Rumor has it you're experiencing shipment issues.
If all goes well, I promise you this city will be prioritized for all shipments.
Your food and medicine shortage will be over.
We'll also expedite any bridge and road repair work.
Don't get the wrong idea.
This autonomous city is unofficial.
You need to understand that we're also going out on a limb here.
I understand.
Use the regular method to let us know of your findings.
All right.
Gashin?
Yuu, about what we talked about, I don't—
That's not what I want to talk to you about.
We have an emergency. I can't talk on the phone.
Can I meet you in person?
Sure, I'm actually in the city now. I'll head over to your place.
Let's meet outside the autonomous city instead. I'll send you the map data.
Okay, see you then.
Sorry about this. Hop in.
You said you needed to speak to me immediately. You sounded desperate.
Yes. As you know, I've negotiated with the Asian military
to build an autonomous city for the Japanese people.
Because of that connection, I sometimes come across certain information.
And what did you learn?
The Asian military is planning a search- and-destroy operation against Yatagarasu.
Geographically, our autonomous city
is likely to be occupied so they can build a rear base.
I want you to leave this area before that happens.
My proposal should benefit us both.
Please consider it.
Mr. Suenaga was here.
Yeah, I wonder what brought him here?
Do you two know something?
N-Nothing! We don't know anything!
Th-That's right! Kei didn't tell us anything!
Kei didn't tell us about the Asian military or that Suenaga is an Asian—
- Huh?! - Idiot!
You two...
- They hid! - Gai! Nayuta!
Thank you for this valuable information, but you needn't worry.
Meaning...?
We'll be leaving for another location in two weeks' time.
You're worried over nothing.
I-I'm glad to hear that, but where will you be going?
That's a question better left unanswered.
Don't worry, I promise you it's nowhere near here.
Thank you so much.
You should hang out a little longer since it's been a while.
I don't want to impose.
Huh?
Looks like a bad inverter and motor.
Your car's quite the vintage.
It's probably cheaper to buy a new one than to repair this.
I don't have that kind of money.
Can we fix it?
Maybe by tomorrow morning, but even then, it may not be 100%.
Why don't you stay the night, since it won't be fixed until the morning?
Are you okay with that?
Yes.
I'll take you up on your offer, then.
Stop.
You weren't expecting a jamming signal covering this entire area, where you?
You rigged your car so the motor would break down.
You're good. You fooled our maintenance guy.
You knew?
I wanted to believe you would never do such a thing.
I didn't have a choice.
I know.
Then let me go!
I wasn't lying when I said we should live together.
Yeah, I know.
By the way, the additional resident you requested?
I'll make an exception and grant that as well.
At first, it started with just giving them small bits of intel.
But they started demanding more, and then it was too late to turn back.
I just wanted to protect someone.
The data you stole has our relocation destination and blueprint.
It's only a matter of who will be the victims
if the Asian military gets that data.
I have my hands full protecting my autonomous city!
I know people are complaining!
But that place is still my utopia!
Put the gun down.
Gashin!
It's true, we're moving our HQ.
But it's in a few days, not two weeks.
Our destination's completely different from what's in that data.
It'll take about half a day to get to a city with reception.
The military will then have to analyze the data you send.
It'll be another few days for them to arrange and deploy troops.
By that time, we'd be long gone and back into hiding.
So Mr. Udou and Mr. Kumai...
They were in on it after I explained the situation.
Looks like I've been played.
You completed your mission when you stole our intel.
You can explain to them that we moved quickly and were very careful.
I never imagined I'd be at your mercy.
I'll lose the Asian military's trust.
Three years of hard work will go down the drain.
Yuu...
Never call me that again!
Shoot me if you want. I'm not going to give up so easily.
I'm not like you. I'm doing this my way.
No matter how dirty my hands get.
Is this another mistake?
Tezuka seemed down...
Yeah. Mr. Suenaga was gone before anyone realized it.
Yeah, well, it'll be fine.
That's right. Anyway, we have a new mission.
- A mission? - Yup, and it'll be quite the challenge.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E10 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Tohoku, huh? I've never been.
Me neither.
These days, it's unthinkable to travel between different territories.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm surprised we were able to procure a huge ship on such short notice.
Just how well-connected is Mr. Gobert...?
This is about a client of ours located in the Tohoku area.
They're also a resistance organization,
but the Eurasian military is about to wipe them off the face of the earth.
We're asking you to rescue them.
Of course, you will be compensated accordingly.
Even if we've never met our distant brothers, we can't just abandon them.
The plan is to head to our new HQ in separate groups.
You'll be using that between-time to conduct the rescue mission. Is that okay?
I'm good with that.
Me, too.
Understood.
That's great news. We'll take care of the ship.
Good luck.
Thank you!
Something's been off with Tezuka lately.
I think something happened with Mr. Suenaga, but...
I'm sure he'll talk to us eventually.
Yeah.
It's so cold...
There it is. We're almost there.
Immersing myself in never-ending, beautiful music,
while enjoying the rich aroma of Russian tea...
I live for luxurious moments like this. It makes me feel alive.
I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Major Zelenoy.
Care to join me, First Lieutenant Lvov?
We're still on a mission.
Changing the command room to your liking...
Your environment plays a vital role in generating creative ideas.
Although, you don't need creativity to chase away pesky rodents.
My brain is refusing to function.
What about our soldiers' orders?
They already have them. Combat Als can take care of the rest.
Continue with plan B2. Team Alpha, advance first.
Team Gamma, Team Delta, flank the sides.
Surround the enemy troops.
Yes, ma'am!
Damn these guys!
There's no end to them! Conserve your ammo and retreat!
We'll be crushed at this rate!
Mr. Konno! They're behind us, too!
Damn, we're surrounded!
Good job. You didn't miss once.
Looks like Ms. Misuzu's adjustments worked like a charm.
Tezuka!
The enemy units are completely exposed.
I'm not seeing any command vehicles or units.
Roger that. Amou!
The Eurasian military is known for their numbers, but their AMAIMs are inferior!
Destroy them all in one go!
Got it!
Good work, my princess!
Thanks! I was so nervous.
Mr. Konno, are those AMAIMs...?
The rescue team we requested!
There're so many of them!
We broke through their formation! Let's retreat!
Roger that!
We lost them?!
We're sorry. Unidentified AMAIMs came out of nowhere...
We believe they're the ones spotted in the AFTE territory.
We'll send over the photos.
Major!
This just got more interesting.
Let's go. I want to take them on myself.
You can't be serious?!
So they passed the first stage.
I expected nothing less.
If they can't carry out a mission this easy,
as an investor, we'd have to reevaluate them.
Are you sure about this?
About Gashin and them?
I know Gashin's been feeling down because of what happened with Yuusei.
I sent them off in hopes that he'd get back into a more positive mind frame,
but it might have been too soon to throw him into combat.
Don't worry. I told them to look after themselves first.
Let's have faith in them.
Right...
Thank you. I'm Konno from Arahabaki.
I'm Tezuka from Yatagarasu.
We came under Brenson Corp's request.
Is this everybody?
Yeah.
We were originally one of the largest organizations in East Tohoku,
but ever since Alexei Zelenoy took command, we...
He comes from a noble family in Russia.
Using his wealth and power, his style is quantity over quality.
We were no match for the overwhelming number of troops he sent our way.
In the blink of an eye, our numbers dropped. We're the only survivors.
We lost more on our way here.
We understand the situation.
What can we do to help?
We need help reaching the east side.
If we can break through their encirclement and get across the Ou Mountains,
we can reach the East Tohoku area.
Another organization will be waiting for us there.
Providing you with an escape route was also part of the arrangement.
Understood.
We need to prepare by researching the surrounding geography and stuff.
Agreed.
We need a good understanding of the environment we're in,
but we don't have time. We'd like to split up and investigate.
All right, we'll lead the way. It'll have to be on foot, though.
No problem.
We'll handle recording the data.
I'll rush to your rescue if something happens.
Don't worry, my princess.
Thanks, I'm counting on you!
You have pretty eyes.
I was born and raised in Japan,
but I have East European blood in me as well.
Anyway, I never imagined a girl my age would be coming to our rescue.
I'm so happy.
Me, too.
Hey, we should be friends.
I'd love that!
I think that should do it.
Yeah. If we go any further, the Eurasian military might spot us.
If we combine our data, we should have enough to calculate an escape route.
What's that?
Oh, that's a device the enemy commander had installed.
It's a sensor that detects AMAIMs or combat vehicles.
Several wireless units are placed around the base unit, sending signals.
If anything is detected, the Eurasian military comes rushing in.
They don't respond to people, but they're placed all over the area.
Unplugging them won't do any good since the loss of signal is also communicated.
It's getting foggy.
Fog?
Fog easily forms because of the terrain here.
That's probably why the Eurasian military installed those sensors.
Hey, Gai. Do you think we can use this?
Yeah, I was just thinking the same exact thing.
I'm against this.
We already have the upper hand. There's no need to put yourself in danger.
Are you saying I'd lose?
I'm saying a commander should sit back, calm and dignified.
However, Dahlia—
What was that for?
Me?! I don't want to have to scratch my eyes out!
We've seen each other naked on numerous other occasions.
When we were little!
So you should know how I am, then.
Yes... You lose sight of everything else once you focus on something.
When we were learning to ride,
you wanted the challenge of riding an unruly horse,
only to fall off and break a bone.
Right when we joined the military, you took interest in munitions,
coming very close to causing a major catastrophe.
Really, you're like a little brother who's a handful.
Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore.
I only wish to claim the honor I want, the way I want.
That's what motivates me!
And that's why you're a child.
Don't be nervous, my princess. I'm here for you.
R-Right...
How's the system?
All good. We're ready when you are.
We're sorry, but we have to borrow your AMAIMs.
It's fine. We need it to escape.
All right, we're gonna go.
Okay!
Be careful.
Human wave tactics are very effective.
Many continued its use until it was considered obsolete.
Let your guard down, and that wave will swallow you whole!
Got it.
All right. My body and mind are fully awake.
I gave our enemies enough time to rest.
So...
Let's start the show!
All units, be careful in the fog. Proceed with the mission.
Proceeding with the mission.
Increase the detection range of the sensors.
Increasing range.
Nothing in D2.
Nothing in A3.
Nothing in C6.
Are they too afraid to make a move?
Or did they ditch their AMAIMs and risk getting lost on foot?
Force their hand.
Open fire!
Opening fire.
Gashin!
They've opened fire!
It's overkill! Are they trying to blow the whole mountain to smithereens?!
This is crazy!
Movement detected in A1, B2, and E5.
Did they spread out to throw us off? That was a bad call.
Targets acquired. Opening fire.
Two of the enemy units have been destroyed.
Just make sure not to destroy the original AMAIM.
That's what I'm here for.
Use your smokescreen, Gashin!
Enemy's smokescreen is causing poor visibility.
With it plus the fog, we've lost sight of our enemies.
Prioritize local sensors in detection mode.
Switch signals every 40 seconds.
Roger that.
Prioritizing local sensors.
Switching signals in 40 seconds.
All right, surround the three AMAIMs and push them into a corner.
I'll directly handle them from there!
Team Alpha, Team Beta, immediately move to A1.
Team Delta, flank left.
Team Lambda, move from E3 to E4 and cut them off.
Everyone, be ready to open fire!
Initiating encirclement. Going into open-fire mode.
Team Beta, move forward. Alpha 1 and 3, flank right.
Team Gamma, move forward.
Team Lambda, join up with Team Sigma.
Now! Surround them!
They disappeared?!
What?!
Making adjustments based on wind direction and speed.
Changing barrel!
Ready to fire!
How can this be?!
- Amou! - Yeah!
Impossible... We aren't able to detect them.
Could it be that...?!
They used our system?
It was a simple device emitting signals, so we decided to hack it!
We hid our presence using a fake signal,
while using another one to misdirect the enemy.
The fog worked in our favor, as well.
That's why they showed themselves at first.
The salvaged North American military units were used as a ruse.
They're likely unmanned AMAIMs.
They were originally designed as unmanned units.
It was a piece of cake to control them.
You didn't do that, Nayuta.
But we had numerous sensors around the area!
We've also switched signals every 40 seconds!
That was a tough one.
But with the three of us, it wasn't an impossible task!
They cut me off from the rest.
Let's do this. We've destroyed most of their units.
We only have the big boss to take down!
I see, they were after me from the beginning!
Cut off the head of the snake...
...and the rest will be child's play!
Alec!
Looks like the enemy's aiming AI is in heat source mode.
Use your new claw weapon!
Got it!
Five more seconds... three, two, one...
That's a manned AMAIM. It'll be different from fighting a combat AI.
Okay.
If we can pin him down...
The three of us will work together to catch him off guard.
Interesting. Bring it on, then!
Not good enough!
Fall back, Amou! He'll take you down!
He's blocking everything...!
Don't be naïve.
He tilted it perfectly in an instant!
What happened?! Why isn't he moving?
Our mission is to escape. We're going to retreat rather than continue to engage.
- Okay. - Roger that!
Alec!
I'm all right.
I'll send the troops after them, once we regroup and—
Don't go after them.
Why not?!
They think a manned AMAIM should simply be stopped, not killed.
We can't go after them after they showed mercy on me.
I will not disgrace myself further!
I understand.
Remember this, terrorists...
Even if you forget what happened today, I will not!
Thanks, we owe you.
You're welcome.
I'm glad you were able to meet up with the East Tohoku group.
Yeah, we'll work together for our cause.
We truly appreciate your help.
Let's continue our efforts to restore Japan.
I'm sorry I couldn't find anything better, but please accept this gift.
Wow, thanks so much.
Thank you.
Um, I'd like to see you again.
Yeah, one day.
I guess we're headed back.
Everything went by in a blur.
Yeah.
We truly appreciate your help.
We can save people through combat, too.
This is my way.
Hey, you look like you're in a better mood.
Whatever.
Hey, let's enjoy those gifts inside.
Okay. Come on, Tezuka.
All right.
That pilot in the commander unit was strong...
Yeah, it was unexpected. The world is a big place.
Where are we headed to now?
A base camp until our new HQ is ready.
By the way, who's that guy?

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E11 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Ah, here they come.
Hey, welcome back!
Sorry for the wait!
How many of us are here?
Just the maintenance team and two platoons.
The chairman and the leaders are each at their designated area.
Moving in big groups would attract too much attention.
This is our temporary camp until the new HQ is ready!
Okay, move the units to the hangar!
Let's get to work!
Um, before we do that...
It's gotten pretty dirty from the travel and combat.
Is it okay if I give it a wash?
Oh, of course!
Amou...
Huh? What are you doing here?
I wanted to wash my AMAIM, too.
Let's not keep the maintenance team waiting. We should be quick.
You're right.
Hm. You somehow accessed this secure line to contact me.
Who are you?
Hello. It's nice to meet you, Captain Brad Watt.
I have a business deal I wish to offer you.
My name is German Gobert.
I work as a liaison for a particular company.
The people authorized to use this line are restricted. How did you get in?
I have my ways.
Oh, it's no use looking me up.
I prefer to stay behind the scenes.
This video could be a fake, as well.
Captain, we should cut off the connection now.
This doesn't feel right.
Are you sure?
You'll find this business opportunity valuable if you hear me out.
What do you plan on selling me?
What I have for you is information.
The current location of Ghost, to be exact.
I understand you're still on a mission to capture Ghost.
I'm sure you want nothing more than to learn about its whereabouts.
What do you want?
This was a request from my client.
Information is only valuable if you use it right.
You're the only one that I came to with this information.
Sounds like it'll cost me dearly.
I won't be taking your money.
However, I do expect to gain something in return.
Think of it as a prior investment for our future business.
See you soon.
Captain...
Have the Intelligence Agency verify this data.
Report this conversation to the commander.
How interesting.
We can use this in many ways if this data is accurate.
I see, Gashin and them have returned safely.
Yes.
What are they doing now?
They're washing their units.
Though, the maintenance team seems bored waiting for them.
That's fine.
We can't perform large-scale missions until the new HQ is ready.
They should think of this as their downtime and take it easy.
I'll let them know. I'll talk to you in our next scheduled call.
Master, you have a visitor.
All right, I'll be right there.
There's some dirt buildup in the nooks and crannies.
Make sure you polish thoroughly!
My mind won't work quite as fast if you don't!
How does this affect your mind?
That refreshed feeling you get is important!
M-My princess is hand-washing me herself...
I'm so... I'm so...!
What's it going on about?
It must have a bug.
You're a third-rate AI to not comprehend this thought-process.
What'd you say?!
You wanna go?!
Nayuta!
You're not gonna stop them?
Just ignore them.
There are a lot of scratches.
The parts have to be changed out if it's heavily damaged, but not for a scratch.
Not much you can do but fill it in.
Yeah.
We went through so much.
We crossed the ocean,
built a waterwheel...
I didn't think we'd be going to Tohoku.
Let's visit more places once this battle's over!
Not just Japan, but overseas, too!
I want to see a lot more things.
I'm counting on you, Amou!
Yeah, okay. You got it.
By the way, I saw the video, Amou!
That video where you provoked the Asian military!
Th-That was...
Don't be shy about it. You should be proud of your battle scars!
They aren't scars, though.
Shion, you want to bring back Himeno wares after this, right?
Yup, that's right!
I want to restore our kiln that the Asian military destroyed.
I want Grandpa to teach me the technique so I can keep up the tradition.
Keeping up the tradition. I like that!
Thanks.
What about you, Tezuka? Any plans after the fight?
I can't think about that yet.
We need to restore Japan,
and I need to avenge my father's death by defeating Ghost.
You're right. I'll help you when the time comes.
Me, too! We're comrades, after all.
Comrades... Yeah, we're comrades!
Yup!
You're not going to respond, Gashin?
I saw your report.
I agree that if it weren't for the unexpected AMAIMs joining the fight,
you most likely would not have let the remnants of the terrorists get away.
Yes, sir! I'm glad you understand.
Idiot.
However, there was also that incident with the terrorists in Hokkaido.
That falls under Major General Bazarov's jurisdiction.
My opponents were powerful.
I'm sure they will pose a threat to us moving forward.
Hmph... Very well.
As you requested, you'll lead the flying column against the original AMAIM.
Wait for further instructions.
Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
Are you sure about this?
They pulled their punches.
I can't rest until we fight them with everything and I emerge victorious.
Besides...
...wouldn't it be great to ride that AMAIM?
Thank you for coming over.
Of course.
What is it you wanted to show me?
This.
We're seeing similar incidents in other ports on the Sea of Japan side.
It looks like these were taken after a battle.
We aren't seeing any notable movements from the Asian military.
If there were battles, I believe they'd arm themselves and deploy.
All right. Investigate this as much as you can.
Will do.
I have something I want to show you, as well.
As you know, this is the current map of each nation's territory.
We had our PFP computer, Murakumo,
forecast the changes of the borders.
Our territory is expanding.
On paper, NAC allows the Japanese people autonomy.
Because of this, we have fewer terrorist attacks than other nations.
We don't have to spend as many military resources.
We don't have autonomy!
There's a clear difference between the NAC citizens and the Japanese people.
Even if the people from the NAC commit crimes here,
they aren't subjected to Japanese law.
They're sent back to their home country for trials there,
but the rulings aren't communicated to us.
They call it autonomy, but it's there to repress the people from resisting.
That said, there are many ways in which the future predictions can change.
I will change it.
I won't let the NAC get their way.
If you're that determined, why request a flying column?
How great would it be to do what you want while accomplishing your goal?
More like exploiting that goal to satisfy your own urge.
Curious, isn't it?
What is?
In the last few years, each nation's borders haven't changed much.
But the forecast shows that within a year, it will change so much.
There must be something that triggers this,
some kind of a breakthrough.
You think that's the original AMAIM the terrorists have?
Specifically, the autonomous AI that's in the AMAIM.
According to the Intelligence Agency, Ghost also has an autonomous AI
at the same level as the original AMAIM, or possibly even further developed.
Aren't you dying to get a hold of it?
I resign...
Wow!
Shion won again!
She's undefeated in both shogi and go!
- One more game! - Huh?!
B-But...
One more game!
Uhh...
Good morning.
Morning.
Tezuka and Shion aren't up yet?
He kept asking for a rematch with Shion until very late.
They're probably still asleep.
Good morning, Amou!
We're gonna work on Kenbu's maintenance after this. You wanna join?
Yes, please!
Are you really going to bite, Captain?
Whether I bite or not, capturing Ghost is our mission.
Yes, but...
If the information is useful, I'll use it. Simple as that.
That's why I'm having the Intelligence Agency validate the data.
We just got the data analysis results. I'm sending it your way.
Oh? The credibility of the data is over 90%.
It was verified by integrating various intel from our operatives.
So is Ghost currently hiding in Asian territory?
Yes.
What's the plan? We won't be able to send in troops like last time.
The Asian military will surely pick up on our movement the second time.
Even if we could, we'd need to call for a lot more troops than before.
Right. If we assume Ghost has developed even further,
we won't have a chance unless we have at least two companies.
The bar's even higher.
I like manned AMAIMs, but I'm also good at controlling unmanned units.
Sure, but...
The pieces are already in place.
Are we sure the terrorists have moved out of their base camp?
Yes, according to our operative in the Asian territory.
The Asian military sent in troops after their spy gave them the location,
but by the time they arrived, the terrorists were gone.
They're unsure where the terrorists went.
Have Capricorn calculate possible travel routes.
Our sophisticated integrated processing AI?
I want to increase the integrity of our intel.
Ray, Sophia, let's go!
Go where?
Where else? We're going sightseeing!
Good! We're done!
Okay, thanks for your help. You did good.
Thank you so much!
Hey!
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Thank you!
He was a lot better than when Chief joined us, right?
Yeah.
Ms. Misuzu?
When Chief joined us, she had all the knowledge and none of the experience.
She was completely useless.
But she kept at it like you wouldn't believe and improved her skills.
Before you knew it, she became our chief.
Maybe you can be like our chief one day.
Y-You think so?
There's a lot you need to learn first.
Yup, you better study hard!
Studying is important. Very important!
Can I ever be like her?
Amou! You got a minute?
Yes!
Gashin and Shion finally woke up.
We're going shopping. Amou, can you join us?
Yes!
Wow, there're so many people.
Not just people from the AFTE and Japanese people, but foreigners, too!
This is an open market.
Anyone can enter as long as they aren't carrying anything dangerous.
There's a lot of European companies that conduct business with the AFTE.
People like that frequent this market, with their own bodyguards, of course.
Is that how Mr. German entered the country?
Yeah, probably using a fake cover.
We'll shop individually like we always do. Stay under the radar.
Okay!
Why are you looking around so much?
Because I've never been to a place like this—
Oh, I-I'm so sorry!
No, I'm sorry I didn't see you. Are you all right?
Um, yes...
It's fine, I'm good.
U-Um, sorry again.
Ray, could you follow him and get a voice recording of him?
Sir?
I've heard his voice before.
I, no, Kenbu will make sure that you're crushed!
I want to run his voiceprint.
Understood.
Looks like I got lucky.
Thanks for your help.
What else can we help with?
Nope, we're done. You can kick back and relax.
We're done, huh?!
Tezuka, don't bug Shion so much.
I'm not an idiot! I know I'm not at her level yet...
I'm going to ask for a rematch once I'm better at it!
O-Okay...
Competitive much?
Sorry about Gashin.
No, not at all.
My princess, if something happens, I, Angelo, will protect you.
Oh, there you are. Welcome back.
Are you guys free later?
Huh?
Yes, I think so...
Then how about we go on a nice little trip?
A hot spring?
Yeah, just down the road, there's an old natural hot spring.
It only has a simple changing room and a partition,
but it's a secluded hot spring that only a few people know about!
Are we allowed to go, just the four of us?
It'll be fine. Everyone else went before you guys came, so it's only fair!
All right, the women's area is this way. The men's is that way.
No peeking.
W-We would never do that!
The temperature is perfect.
Looks like they're pulling in water from that river to adjust the temperature.
You gotta love how free this feels.
Thank you, Ms. Misuzu, for bring us here.
Not at all! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I don't get it! Why couldn't I go with my princess?!
Of course you can't. Just look at how you usually act!
What?!
Hot springs, geothermally heated groundwater.
Depending on the minerals, it may help counteract fatigue, huh?
Looks like the sweating increases one's metabolism, too.
That's something we can't comprehend since we don't have physical bodies.
I'm telling you, it's that refreshed feeling!
Oh!
Ahh, it's so nice to be able to stretch out,
and the stars are beautiful.
Yeah, I agree.
Do you come to hot springs a lot?
Sometimes our leaders take us. What about you?
I used to go when I was little, but after my parents passed away, not so much.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.
No! Besides, I brought it up. Don't worry about it.
Oh, you're...
Ah, g-good evening.
Shh...
You know him?
I saw him earlier at the market.
I guess you're from around here. Are you with the AFTE? Or are you Japanese?
Um, I-I'm Japanese.
Is he your friend?
Ah, y-yes.
Um, do you visit places like this, too?
I heard about it and decided to come heal my battle wounds.
Battle?
We're soldiers from the NAC.
We fought against an enemy the other day.
We were very close to winning, but it got away.
Enemy?
A violent, unmanned AMAIM with unknown allegiance, called "Ghost."
It got away, but our Intelligence Agency tracked its location.
Currently, Ghost is hiding in the Oki Islands.
Oki Islands...
We heard it exchanged fire with the Asian military.
We're going to round up the troops in a few days to defeat Ghost this time.
Why are you telling us this?
I'm not sure.
Maybe I feel a connection with you.
Huh?
See you again if we have the chance.
Ghost is in the Oki Islands...!
Don't lose your cool, Gashin.
But there are Japanese people living there, right?
Yeah, although it's under the Asian military's control.
That just means one thing. Right, Amou?!
Yeah, we can't let it roam free!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E12 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

No enemies detected. Moving on to the hangar.
It has to be nearby. Don't let your guard down.
First Platoon, entering the hangar now.
Second Platoon, continue searching the east side.
I'm picking up a heat source! Enemy found!
Second Platoon, move from the south side and catch it in a pincer maneuver!
First Platoon, open fire!
First Platoon has been annihilated. Second Platoon, opening fire now!
Second Platoon has been annihilated!
What?!
We lost Ghost's signal!
Damn it! It got away—
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Ghost is in the Oki Islands?
Yes, based on information Gashin and Amou received from the NAC soldier.
We haven't verified this intel yet, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
Hmm...
I want to defeat it.
I have to avenge my father, and until I defeat it...
...I can't move forward.
Tezuka...
Amou, what do you think?
Um...
I was there when our camp got attacked.
But I couldn't do anything.
Because of that, Ms. Risa...
...and the others...
I think Ghost is dangerous.
There's no telling who will be its next victim.
If Tezuka's going to fight, I'll help as well!
I see. However, we don't know if the intel is good.
We'll make a decision after we know for sure.
Gai, Kei, Nayuta... Will you help us?
Yup!
Of course.
In for a penny...
Thanks.
You're on standby until we know more. All right?
Okay!
Roger that.
Hey, how long are you gonna keep this up?
He's been in there for hours.
Jeez, there's really no stopping him.
Our next meeting was held two days later.
I won't beat around the bush.
It's highly likely that Ghost is in the Oki Islands.
According to our analysis, the probability is 94.6%.
It could have left the island, but we're pretty certain it's still there.
The Oki Islands is under the Asian military's control.
Dougo and Nishinoshima Island have outposts there.
Based on photographs of the Asian military's movements in nearby ports,
along with evidence of battles and power consumption forecast,
Ghost has destroyed the outpost in Dougo Island,
and then moved on to the outpost in Nishinoshima Island.
In doing so, Ghost has taken control of the anti-aircraft warning system.
The Asian military retreated, and their army at the mainland can't get near it.
They've started building a defense line on the coastline
in order to prevent Ghost from attacking the mainland.
For the time being, Ghost has been quiet.
It's probably in sleep mode.
Oh, to organize data?
And recover from any damage.
We do have one problem.
Everyone in the Japanese living quarters of Nishinoshima was left behind.
What?
We also have reports of people being injured.
The Asian military must've abandoned the Japanese people to save themselves.
It's not a problem yet.
But there's no guarantee that they won't be attacked once Ghost wakes up.
Well, we have to go help them now!
By defeating Ghost,
we can protect not only the people of Japan but Japan itself.
Shion, this will be your first time going against Ghost.
I've steeled my resolve after hearing how Amou and Tezuka feel.
I won't just stand by on the side lines.
Okay. Then your next mission is to rescue the people in Nishinoshima
and to defeat Ghost.
Please prepare for it immediately.
- Roger that! - Got it!
Don't break formation! You're dead if you stray off!
We know!
We know, but—
Dammit. One more time!
This will be a two-front war.
To protect the residents and avoid the Asian military,
we'll do it simultaneously and quickly.
Amou, Gashin, and Shion will combat Ghost.
My team will conduct the rescue mission.
 The rest is logistic support.
The three of you will enter Nishinoshima from this route.
Once you reach there, you'll use your AMAIMs to head to the outpost.
That's where Ghost is most likely hiding at.
Remember, you're also a diversion to protect the rescue team from Ghost.
Got it!
Next, the rescue team.
According to the population registry, 103 residents need rescuing.
Eight of those are in need of caretakers.
We need a boat to transport them.
I don't care if it's a fishing boat. Work together and get enough.
We'll also need medical supplies and stretchers.
Prioritize the rescue of children, seniors, and those who need assistance.
By the end of this mission,
the Asian military should be away from the islands and the nearby shorelines.
How's that going?
We're already on it!
We asked the local helpers to create a commotion to send the military their way.
Don't worry.
How should we reach out to the residents?
Would they believe us if we contact them out of the blue?
I actually have an idea.
There's a battle on the islands?
Unfortunately, yes. Please help us save them.
I've lost touch with everyone after I left the islands a long time ago.
I was practically kicked out. No one would care about what I'd have to say...
I understand that you're hesitant.
However, we have no time to lose. Please, help us!
We managed to get enough boats.
Good. My helper's also onboard.
All right! You're good to go!
Thank you so much.
Hey! We got our stuff, too!
We received communication from the Intelligence Agency.
Apparently, a group of Japanese people are renting a number of boats.
They must be the terrorists.
It's as you predicted, Captain.
Things are moving along well.
Call me an opportunistic leech, but I'll be the one that comes out on top.
We're all ready. Our mission will start tonight.
I understand.
Good luck.
It's time! Team One, head out!
Team Two, head out!
Let's go!
Mr. Saito.
You really came...
Is everyone else all right?
Yes, everyone's gathered in one area, just as you asked.
Good. Your son is waiting for you at the other end of the coast.
Th-Thank you so much.
This is Masaki. The residents are safe. Please come alongside the pier.
Looks like they've started.
Yeah.
Let's go, too.
Why do we have to stay here...?
There's nothing we can do with two AMAIMs against that monster!
We've lost contact, and no rescue is coming. They left us behind.
Don't say that!
This is a bridgehead to defend the Asian military's territory!
We cannot allow that silly AMAIM to overrun us!
We may have insufficient strength, but this is still the front line.
We're the only ones who can protect this island.
We're almost at the base. Prepare for combat!
- Okay! - Understood!
Our defense line will be that valley up ahead.
We'll attack Ghost from both sides and try to run it down!
What is it?! What happened?!
Switching monitors now.
Activate all units!
Activating all units!
E-Everyone fall back!
Look out!
- First Lieutenant! - Stay there!
That AMAIM...
Asian military survivors found!
Why are they here?
Call Boss!
Roger that!
Okay, let's move.
Got it!
Did they leave so we wouldn't be dragged into the fight?
Let's retreat!
Get them in quickly!
It's fast!
These attacks are new to us!
We're moving to plan B! Keep your distance and move to the designated area!
Roger that!
First Lieutenant, was that AMAIM...?
Yes, the terrorist we've encountered before. Why is it here?
Freeze!
We have our rights based on the treaty.
We're not military.
If you're ignoring our rights, then...
We've got five people in need of rescue. Head towards us immediately.
However, we will restrain you.
We're not military,
but we'll help those in need, regardless of race. That's who we are.
We're at the designated area. Reiki, get into position.
Okay.
Wh-What in the...?!
Watch out!
Are you okay, Amou?!
I-It's...
Yeah, looks like it modified itself.
- It's coming this way! - Yeah!
Shion, now!
Okay!
Controlling recoil, correcting aim!
Blast off!
Bull's-eye!
I'll finish you off!
What?!
It's grounding itself to direct the current back into the ground!
Tezuka!
It won't last long! Let's move fast!
Roger that!
From the last battle,
Ghost's power, response time, and speed have clearly improved.
It also customized its equipment and capability to its own liking.
Its self-improving feature is unbelievable!
Self-improving...
It's coming!
- Go up! - Okay!
Amou!
Tezuka! Plan A!
We'll send the revised coordinates later!
Understood!
Good! It took the bait!
Optimal route!
Calculating!
After we reach the mountaintop, it's all downhill!
Got it!
It's going to start climbing in ten seconds! It's hot on our tail!
Everyone is onboard.
Everyone is onboard here, too.
Okay, start departing!
I see it!
The ammunition depot!
Amou!
Yeah, I can make it!
Amou, behind you!
Eat this!
Okay, let's close the door!
This is this outpost's ammunition depot.
We also added more explosives to it, too!
Gashin!
Yeah!
Did they do it?
With such a large explosion, it must've done a good amount of damage!
- Hold on! - I'm picking up movement inside the flames!
No way...
How's this possible?! It's still moving!
I can't imagine us beating it!
Don't worry, my princess!
We're here to help.
It must be desperate, too. Let's give everything we've got, Amou!
Yeah! We have to stop Ghost at all costs!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E13 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

All that and I still can't get through...!
Do I hear whining? You gonna quit?
Never. That thing's dangerous. We have to defeat it!
That's right, Amou! Let's do this!
Yeah!
You...!
My princess!
I'm okay...
Shion, Amou, let's do this just like we practiced in the simulation!
Okay!
Looks like they've already started.
We might've missed the beginning, but I'm glad we made it.
Captain, using long-distance radio is too risky.
The Asian military will detect it, and our location could be—
It'll be fine. If that happens, we'll get rid of all the equipment and leave.
What's important is the data.
Send the video to Capricorn. I want the combat data analyzed.
Yes, sir.
All right. Let's see how much Ghost and the original AMAIM have improved.
You seem to be enjoying this.
Of course I am.
If the original AMAIM wins, our mission to defeat Ghost is accomplished.
And if Ghost wins?
If we're lucky, we can recover the original AMAIM itself.
We could probably recover one out of the three.
Either way, it'll work in our favor.
Do you think we'll be able to recover the AI units?
Who knows?
However, I do believe I'm a man of great luck.
Dammit, we can't tell what's going on from here.
Can we get a little closer?
We'd have to be suicidal to do it.
With this many passengers onboard and the distance to cover with limited fuel...
Not too bright, are you?
What?!
You may have restrained us, but the body-checks were sloppy.
Had it been more thorough, you would've found my military-issued cell.
If I was threatened and forced to share my passcode to you,
you'd be able to access the island's security camera from it.
You could also unlock the attachment authentication feature for the AMAIMs.
Why tell us this?
I'm just talking to myself.
Even under threat, you still leaked military intel.
There'll be consequences to pay.
A small price to pay to save my men's lives.
Shion!
We've got this! Keep pushing!
Right!
Okay!
Above you!
Ghost... It's already adapting to our teamwork!
No, it was already showing signs of that before this.
It must have had experience fighting against three manned AMAIMs before this!
Th-This is bad, Amou!
We're automatically crunching numbers...
Our winning percentage was over 50% in the simulation, but now...
It's dropping as time goes on.
Gashin.
We know what happened. Our plan failed, correct?
Yes.
Then fall back. Everyone in need of rescue has made it to the safe zone.
One of the two goals was accomplished.
No!
I can tell because we're fighting it. Ghost isn't going to let us go.
Even if we fall back, it'll take down at least one of us!
That's what our calculation shows, too.
Then we'd rather stay and fight to go home together!
Yeah, that's right!
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Looks like we're all on the same page.
Boss, could you back us up?
All right.
Let's gather as much intel as we can.
How's the attachment authentication feature looking?
Eighty more seconds!
Something's not right...
What?
It has extraordinary power and speed because its limiters are disabled.
That means its battery should die before ours does.
Yeah, especially since its power usage is being pushed even higher.
The weight of two units is too much...!
Is it doing what I think it's doing?
Is it actually pulling in energy?
Looks like it. I'm detecting energy flow.
What is that thing?
Just received intel from Kumai.
Looks like the attachment authentication feature's unlocked!
He also sent images from the security camera.
These are...
Thermal images.
What's that behind it?
I knew it!
Ghost's somehow maintaining a very high-power output.
It'll overheat itself if it can't release the heat its generating.
That's a heat sink to transfer heat.
Which means...
We just found its weak point?
Amou, we'll meet up at the coordinates in Plan D.
Got it!
Amou...
What...?
We're transferring Jogan and Reiki's energy to Kenbu.
But that means—
Don't worry, we'll still be able to move.
We'll be able to provide backup.
According to our calculations, this is also the best strategy.
Come on, it's time to man up!
We're all going to survive this, remember?
We're counting on you.
Let's do this, Amou! We're gonna win!
Yeah!
It's power and speed are higher than ours!
We'll continue leading Ghost to the hangar!
Let's make use of the Asian military's weapons!
Right!
Amou's doing good. Let's get going, too.
R-Right, but are you okay?
Just moving shouldn't be a problem.
We don't know how long he'll last alone against Ghost.
Let's hurry!
All right!
It's all destroyed...
Let's use that one!
Eat this!
Crap!
Now, Amou!
Okay!
I'm in position. What about you, Reiki?
I'm in position as well.
Ghost is still in perfect condition!
Its learning capability is frightening.
Our odds of winning decrease as time passes. This will be over quick.
We'll signal you the timing.
Roger that.
Amou! We received communication from Tezuka.
Okay!
Amou, I'm going to disable the limiters.
What?
Kenbu has limiters in place to protect the unit against overload.
I'm going to disable it, so we can only fight for a short time.
But if we can surpass Ghost, or just even stop it...
Then Tezuka and Shion will take care of the rest.
That's right.
All right, let's do it!
Hang on tight, Amou!
Okay!
MAILeS Kenbu, full boost!
It's so fast! This is Kenbu's true speed...?
Ghost's already responding to our speed!
True, but our speed and power matches Ghost's!
It's different this time!
I didn't know about that feature.
Likely one that's unique to Kenbu, a hand-to-hand combat type unit.
But it's a double-edged sword.
Double-edged sword... Amou...
R23.14, decompress the cylinders!
Got it!
Balancer to 2.5!
Front 60! Balance position to -2!
I'm going to counterattack!
LL monitor, drive! Adjust gain to +6!
Clear!
Go!
This is how Amou and Gai fight together.
Wait! The winning percentage according to our calculation is...
It's rising as time goes on...
Now!
Shion!
Gashin!
Yeah, a single moment's all I need!
Now!
Right!
We're at our limit! I'm going to re-enable the limiters!
It's starting to overheat.
Yes. With that much damage on top of the excessive heat surrounding it,
it's starting to overheat.
It'll trigger a thermal runaway and Ghost will explode in the next few minutes.
The ocean! It's trying to get away!
Not if I can help it!
It's planning on using sea water to prevent itself from overheating!
Get away, Amou! It's gonna blow!
I can't!
You'll be caught in the explosion!
If we let Ghost go now,
it'll repair itself again!
Like Ms. Risa and others,
people unbeknown to us will be victimized...
I refuse to let that happen!
Ghost's temperature is rising!
We have to avenge your father's death, too!
Not in exchange for your life! We can regroup and try again!
This ends, here and now. We need to protect the people!
That's what the Resistance is for!
Wait, Amou...
You can't do this! No!
The camera's about to go.
I can't calculate the corrections accurately because of the heat.
Gai.
What is it, Amou?
I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
I don't mind.
Like I said before; I owe you my life.
I'm sticking with you.
Sensor's gone up in flames.
I'm switching to pilot's life-preservation mode.
I don't know how long I'll last,
but I'll protect you with everything I've got, Amou!
My life changed the moment I met you, Gai.
And if I'm able to protect someone's future because of that,
I'm kinda happy with that.
That's what human feelings are about, right?
Can you reach Gai?
It's offline. The communication circuit's probably down.
Ghost is reaching a critical point.
Amou!
He's only received first aid care. You need to take him to the hospital soon.
You're sure about this?
We don't have enough resources to take care of prisoners.
Thank you. You have our word; We won't share any intel on you to our military.
But I'm a soldier. If we meet on the battlefield, I won't hold back.
Likewise.
All right, understood. How are Gashin and Shion?
Well, they wouldn't come out of their cockpits,
Well, they wouldn't come out of their cockpits,
so it was a pain to recover the units.
They finally managed to load them onboard, and are headed this way.
Good. Please tell Gashin and Shion to get some rest.
Also, it's possible our temporary camp has been compromised.
You'll need to quickly move to the new HQ.
I understand.
One MIA.
Everyone in need of rescue is safe.
From a mission standpoint, this is a success, but...
No, I can wallow and repent when this is all over.
My job as the head of this organization
is to figure our next steps.
Let me ask again. Are you sure you didn't see the terrorists' faces?
Yes. They wore masks when they attacked us, and confiscated my cellphone.
They threatened to kill my men. I had no choice but to tell them my passcode.
Your team has provided us with similar statements.
However, you've leaked classified information.
I'm prepared for any reprimand.
We need to bring the citizens from Nishinoshima back.
We also need to rebuild the First and Second Outpost.
We're busy with the prep work.
We'll let you know how we'll handle you later.
Yes, ma'am!
There's not much of anything left...
Everything else is below, or...
We lost Gai's signal before the explosion and it hasn't come back.
Yeah...
Boss, we need to go.
All right.
If we stay too long, the Asian military will spot us.
We also need to get to the new HQ. Let's go.
Idiot...
Remember my name, Brad Watt!
It hacked back the signal I used that day to contact me.
I'm flattered you came to me for help.
I'll try not to disappoint you.
From now on, I'll put you to full use...
...Ghost.
What's on your mind, Gashin?
I fought Ghost to avenge my father's death.
But Amou fought to prevent casualties in the future.
I'm going to continue to fight.
I know.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E14 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Amou!
Eight months have passed since the battle at the Oki Islands.
During that time, the borders for each nation's territory in Japan had changed.
Simply put, the NAC expanded its territory, calling them autonomous cities.
The reason for their victories is clear.
The North American military won the autonomous AI race
and used them to great effect.
They worked well with existing manned and unmanned units,
and they had the track record to prove their usefulness.
The Asian, Oceanian, and Eurasian militaries
all began developing units with autonomous AIs,
but the North American military were a step or two ahead.
The borderlines of the Japanese Archipelago change day to day...
...regardless of what the Japanese citizens want.
In the year 2062, this is Japan's current situation.
Shion!
I see you! Over here!
My princess, stay on this course!
Okay!
Target locked, ready to open fire!
We are still fighting.
I see, so they got away.
Yes.
Everything's going as planned.
Are we really doing this?
Second Lieutenant Knox, do you eat your favorite dish first
or save it for last?
Sir?
I prefer to save it for last, and eat as much as I want.
Until I tire from it.
Thanks to autonomous AIs,
manned units can go to the frontlines more.
Wouldn't you want to savor it to your heart's content?
No signs of enemies within a 5km radius.
We shouldn't be attacked by anyone anytime soon.
They took some hits, too.
They'll likely come back after resupplying themselves.
Resupply, huh? Must be nice to have that luxury.
Complaining won't get us anything.
Good work, everyone. What's our status?
We got word that Tsukuyomi got through to Fukui prefecture.
Unfortunately, there are other groups and refugees nearby,
and we can't get in touch with them.
Your mission is to rescue people left behind due to the borderline change.
You'll need to move them outside the NAC's territory.
Security in the North American military
is tighter than the Asian's and Oceanian's.
The power of each Resistance member and refugee is small.
But united, we will become a force large enough to win back Japan.
We're counting on you.
- Of course! - Roger.
Roger!
Chairman, any word from Brenson Corp?
Nothing yet.
I have no new intel other than what Kei and Nayuta found before.
Before we lost contact with Brenson Corp,
there were some incidents and accidents overseas.
An industrial building in North Africa,
a gunpowder plant in Mideast, a business firm in France...
There are more,
but all these facilities have collapsed or exploded around the same time.
Not all of them may be connected,
but since we lost communication immediately after these incidents,
it's highly possible that they were owned by Brenson Corp,
and someone attacked them.
According to online rumors, the North American military is behind it.
Regardless, we're currently without Brenson Corp's support.
We have few AMAIM parts and supplies left.
Times are tough for us, but...
We'll continue to fight!
We'll fight and survive, to "protect the people" of tomorrow!
Tezuka...
Yes, you're right.
You're looking sharper than usual, Captain.
I look the same.
Seems like you're having fun.
I'm smiling to hide my nervousness.
It's a big task.
Yes, I'm presenting my opinion about the units with autonomous AIs
to government officials and the military top brass, as a field worker.
In other words,
our future budget depends on how well you do.
Charlie asked me to tell you to get the biggest budget you can.
I'll do my best to not fail him.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Damn the North American military!
Fall back! Fall back!
This way, hurry!
Hey, wait! Take me with you!
Run! Hide in the forest!
Group One, Group Two, head to Point C7 and F5 accordingly.
Group Four is through Point D8.
The meeting's finally adjourned...
You must be tired. It was a long one.
Six hours, nonstop. Really...
Charlie's waiting for you.
Captain, how'd it go? Did you get us a huge budget?
I don't know yet. There's another one tomorrow.
Anyway, how's the other project going?
Honestly, I wish it'd give me a break.
There's no way I can tame that thing.
I have my faith in the Development Agency. Do whatever it takes to succeed.
Creating a robot that can handle that thing is the key to future battles.
In that case, please get us that budget.
All right. I'll see you later.
Captain?
Is this what adrenaline feels like?
It feels like the tiredness I was feeling is gone.
So far, we're on course.
Ah, there it is.
What's wrong?
I thought I'd do some maintenance, too.
It may not be much, but...
It wouldn't hurt. This is an expedition.
We don't even have enough guards.
I wonder what happened to Ms. Misuzu after that day?
Mr. Muramatsu's trying, but he can't reach her.
I'm sure she has her reasons.
Like what? Family issues?
Do you think she got sick of us?
How would I know?!
You're right...
Gashin, for the last time... You need to learn how to speak to people.
Sorry...
I hope Mr. German and Ms. Misuzu are doing fine.
Yeah.
To be honest, I've had too much time on my hands.
Too much time to myself.
Ever since that day, I've tried to make a pot a few times.
But it never goes well. I can't focus.
I can't get my mind to stay on the clay.
I've never had this issue before...
That's why I came here.
Because I'll overthink if I'm alone, about all sorts of things...
You can quit, you know.
You don't have to stay just because you're Reiki's pilot.
It's one option—
I'm not quitting!
I want to bring back Himeno wares.
To do that, we need to get Japan back.
So, I won't quit.
That's my princess! You said it!
I, Angelo, will always stick by your side, my princess!
Gashin, wake up! We have company!
What?
- My princess, you need to wake up, now!
- Mmm, what? What is it? - My princess, you need to wake up, now!
Just wake up! You'll understand when you go outside!
Huh? All these people? Why?!
This isn't good...
We can still fight! Just give us some ammo!
We would if we weren't short ourselves.
Do you have any nursing covers?
And something that can be used as a diaper?
I'll go look.
Please wait here. I'll go talk to our leader.
I see, the nearby populace has gathered there...
Enemy front lines were scattered until today.
Now, they have us surrounded.
That's why there are more people now.
Right.
The enemy likely corralled them here.
Probably. By doing so, they can focus on one target.
We'll also grow in size, making it difficult to move.
How many people are gathered at your site?
35 resistance members and 86 refugees. 121 in total.
Hmm...
There are elders and children among the refugees.
Even if we did move, it wouldn't be fast.
We're low on food and I don't know how long it'll last.
I see.
I'm sorry, the enemies were on our tail, and we found ourselves here...
We fell into their trap.
Our combat vehicle's destroyed and we ran out of ammo.
But we don't want to hold you down!
If push comes to shove, we can be decoys!
If you could break out of their encirclement with the refugees, then—
No, that's not an option!
We're better suited as decoys!
With our AMAIMs, we can fight the enemy AMAIMs, and—
It's no good.
Jogan and Reiki aren't super-machines.
There's a limit to how fast we can move with so many refugees.
It's almost impossible for just the two of us to handle an entire army.
Worst case, we'll be flanked and taken down.
But, then, what do we do?
We won't be leaving anyone behind.
Let's think of a way to get through this.
That's what we're here for.
Yup, that's right.
We don't have much time.
Troops are moving in from Point 7.
They triggered the sensor in south-southeast, 12.5 klicks from here.
They're here.
Since they're regular military forces, they can't attack civilians.
Maybe we can use that to our advantage.
They're surrendering? How boring.
This is Captain Tony Blanc from Point 7, Unit 23 of the North American military!
Does that white flag mean you are surrendering?!
We will not surrender.
However, we have unarmed civilians with us.
Take them in as refugees, or let us take them to safety first.
Under military law, this negotiation is valid.
I know, but there's no guarantee that they're not terrorists themselves.
They won't be armed. You can even check their identities and belongings.
Hey, where are you going?! Come back!
In return, we ask for you to guarantee their safety.
Captain!
Quit pestering me. You want me to reach out to HQ for instructions, yes?
But under emergency situations, judgments made on the field take priority.
That's why we deploy manned units!
Don't be afraid.
I have a little job for you.
If you succeed, I'll grant you NAC citizenship.
Don't you want to escape poverty?
Wh-What's the job?
Oh, it's just a simple one.
When it's the right time, I just want you to cause a little ruckus.
That's all.
Your future depends on this one choice.
Live out the rest of your days in subjugation,
or switch sides and join those who take charge.
Let me contact HQ. Wait until I hear back from them.
All right.
What?
I'm not gonna fall for your lies!
A gun?!
They've opened fire! The enemy is hostile! Negotiations have fallen through!
All units, open fire!
Wait, we didn't—
It's no use, Mr. Kumai! We have to fight!
We need to run! Now!
Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki, please get the refugees out of here!
We'll draw the enemies' attention!
We owe you!
Enemy units are moving to the left!
Not if I can help it!
Please follow our instructions and evacuate, now!
This is a nightmare! It's chaos!
I did it... I did it, sir!
Huh?
Hmph.
Captain, that man...
Was a terrorist. So, I killed him. Is there a problem?
Elliot, you let this happen, so you've got blood on your hands, too.
Do you want to go to military prison with me?
I think you and I will be good friends. Very good friends.
Point I5 and I6 are under control.
Point Q9 is under control as well.
Alpha Unit is attacking Point M8.
Beta Unit has Point O6 under control.
How did this happen...?
We need to get to safety somehow...
I found the command unit! Is the data linked?!
Yes. We're taking it down now!
Going after the command unit is a common tactic.
Of course, we have countermeasures.
What's more, our military's autonomous AI
knows how to deal with small numbers of enemies.
It's accurate cover fire is preventing us from returning fire!
Don't push yourself, my princess!
The durability of armor and joints are decreasing!
But...
This deployment of units, and precision shooting...
This isn't the usual combat AI the North American military's been using.
Our location isn't helping, either.
We need to temporary fall back and regroup!
Boss! Are the civilians evacuated?!
Not yet! They're panicking from all the chaos!
Shion!
Crap!
From behind?!
Masaki?!
Dammit!
Can't we do anything?
Is there really nothing we can do?!
This signal...
Could it be...?
What is it?!
We're picking up a different signal! It's an unknown AMAIM!
What?!
A black AMAIM?
Is that...?
Impossible... It took down all those units in a split second...
Is that Kenbu?
Amou...?
Is that AMAIM Kenbu?
Yes, there's no mistake.
We're picking up Gai's signal, too.
I'm so glad... Amou's alive!
But we're not out of the woods yet. Keep your guard up.
There's something different about Gai and Amou, too...

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E15 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Is that Kenbu?
Amou...?
Tezuka, Shion, can you move?
Y-Yeah...
Yup!
I'll dive straight into the enemy lines.
I'll create chaos and you two can cover me.
Roger that.
You got it.
We defeated the rear echelon troops! I'm sending you the route.
Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki, please evacuate everyone.
- Copy that! - All right!
Let's go!
Minor damage to one unmanned AMAIM; 11 are completely destroyed.
Other damage to the combat vehicles have been reported.
This is a catastrophic defeat.
Dammit! Can we resupply?
Reinforcements will be available in 12 hours. We can regroup then.
We won't let them escape! We'll crush them!
If you're unwell or in pain, please let us know.
We also have a little bit of food and beverages!
Amou!
You're alive!
It's been a while.
Idiot.
Sorry... To you, too, Shion.
- U-Um, I-I'm—
- Shion! - U-Um, I-I'm—
Long time no see! How've you been?!
M-Ms. Misuzu!
Aw, what's this? Are you that happy to see me?
I'm just kidding. Sorry.
Maki...
Captain Kumai, Lieutenant Masaki, I apologize for my sudden disappearance.
I'd like to explain what happened over the past eight months.
But before I do...
We've brought plenty of supplies, so you can relax a bit!
We have food, ammo, even AMAIM replacement parts!
Chief!
I'm not comfortable with hugging it out with you.
How could you say that?!
We've worked together for so long!
It's been so long since—
Thank you.
Amou...
Hey, we're moving to a different spot. Let's go.
Um, I'm good. I'm just gonna go check on Kenbu.
Huh?
I'm gonna talk to Amou. Brief me on what Ms. Misuzu tells you later.
Tezuka...
I see. I was hoping to hear from Amou, but...
Let's leave it to Gashin.
By the way, who's this?
This is Collin Dialo,
team leader of ARES, a private military company.
The development organization I'm with has a contract with them.
We've asked them to transport supplies and provide escorts for us.
Development organization?
What are you talking about?
My full name is Maki Misuzu Annette.
I'm the president and chief developer of TRYVECTA,
an AI development organization affiliated with Brenson Corp.
What?!
I'm the one who developed the autonomous AI everyone calls "Ghost."
Only when you give the autonomous AI control does it reach its full potential.
However, if it has control over all units and is allowed to do what it wants,
troop discipline will be lost.
That's why, in the field and depending on the scale of the battle,
company and battalion commanders would pilot manned units with autonomous AI,
while the actual troops would consist of unmanned units with tactical AIs.
This is the most efficient and proven method.
With constraints like that, further development of AI units is useless.
Be careful with Congressman Roy Walker.
He's garnered support by cutting down military and government budgets.
He's bound to criticize everything you say.
You'll need to show good results to shut him up.
I understand.
Japan is the front line of the world.
A victory here will directly impact global trends.
Even so, the cost is too high.
We're currently ahead of the rest of the world.
It isn't in our best interest to lose our momentum in development.
Some in the media are questioning the purpose of this war.
They're growing tired of it.
Continuing our development is the best and quickest way to solve that problem.
Just stop. This is a wasted effort!
Roy Walker...
In partnership with Brenson Corp, we, TRYVECTA,
began the development of "I-LeS,"
an autonomous AI that can work with humans.
The first autonomous AI we created was code-named "Prototype Zero."
Or, as you call it, "Ghost."
To keep our partnership with Brenson Corp, we loaned it to them,
even though we knew the control mechanism was still a work in progress.
After an accident during a unit test, Prototype Zero disappeared.
After some time, it reappeared as Ghost.
Brenson Corp has admitted their fault in this,
and offered to keep the partnership.
After that, we created Gai, Kei, and Nayuta based on Prototype Zero.
Which means...
We're the same as Ghost...
Amou!
What happened after the battle at the Oki Islands?
Where were you? What have you been doing?!
Sorry, I gotta go check on Kenbu...
Hey, Amou!
He doesn't seem to be in a talkative mood right now.
Hold on! That makes you a big shot at the company!
What are you doing on our maintenance team?!
I wanted to see my AIs' growth up close.
An engineer's passion, if you will.
"Engineer's passion"...?
I can relate to that.
I also wanted to stop Ghost from wreaking any more havoc.
After the battle at the Oki Islands eight months ago,
I thought we had a real chance to get Ghost back.
I'm sorry for taking advantage of you all like that.
Aren't I terrible?
That night, with the help of Mr. Collin and ARES,
we got on a boat and waited. But...
We prioritized saving Amou and Gai instead.
I couldn't let them die.
We quickly covered our tracks and left before the Asian military came.
What about Ghost?
So it's still out there somewhere?!
No, we know where it is.
What?!
The North American military's Development Agency in Kanto has it.
German Gobert arranged everything.
A long day at work, Captain?
I hear you had quite an argument.
German, I told you not to come here unless asked.
It's just that I heard a rumor,
and I wanted to see it for myself— the slip-up I caused.
Word travels fast.
Also...
Congressman Roy Walker.
Consider it done. Afterall, I'm very good at doing the dirty work.
Why would the captain work with a man like that...?
We need to trust him. He must have a plan.
If things fall apart, we'll be there to stop it.
After German founded his own organization,
he weaseled himself into the North American military, the largest in the world,
by offering up Ghost.
Camouflaging them as accidents,
he then attacked Brenson Corp and the TRYVECTA facilities.
Most likely with the goal of monopolizing the technology.
So those incidents and accidents overseas...
Yes. Fortunately, the nerve center of the organization was able to escape.
After that, we spent the next eight months completing the new Kenbu.
No wonder I couldn't get a hold of you.
And German sounds like a horrible industrial spy!
He's nefarious.
After investigating Ghost's disappearance
and the time when Gai was found on the ground,
we found out that he was the one pulling the strings all along.
We think he started to enact his plan that far back.
At the time, the people from the development organization
were transporting Gai.
Because of his position, German knew where Kenbu would be assembled,
so he made sure Kenbu's parts would be hard to transport.
At the same time, German sent his men to recover Gai.
Sensing she was in danger, she escaped.
She hid Gai where no one would find it.
As she was contacting us to tell us the hiding spot, German's men got to her.
But eventually, Gai found its way back.
She can rest in peace.
Um, so what was Amou doing during the past eight months?
Nayuta, did Amou say anything?
No, he wasn't in the mood.
Well then, it's probably best if I keep my mouth shut.
It's his story to tell.
What?
Thank you...
And so, we went on an expedition to Shikoku and Kyushu. Right?
Yeah.
Where were you, Amou?
Uh, I was overseas... With Ms. Misuzu's organization...
What was it like? Was it fun?
Um, yeah, I guess...
I'm so jealous. I'd love to go abroad.
I'll be by your side, my princess!
Yup, of course!
Thank you for the food.
You're done? You've barely touched your food.
I'm not hungry...
I'll see you later.
He's changed, hasn't he?
It feels like he's back to how he was when we first met.
I think it's about time you tell us what happened in the last eight months.
You heard Misuzu.
Only stuff related to Brenson Corp, and nothing about you or Amou.
I can't be the one to tell you. We have a code.
A code?!
Or are you gonna take a look at my memory data?
That's something you could do!
No, we wouldn't do that. It'll go against what we are.
We're not just machines that process and store data.
- Right. - Sorry...
All units are in position and ready to go.
We're waiting for your orders, Captain Blanc.
All right! We have 1.5 times more units than before!
Let's go wipe them out!
I'm picking up enemy movement.
They'll be within combat range in 8 minutes and 40 seconds.
Got it.
Boss, how's the civilian evacuation going?
It's going smooth, but we're surrounded by mountains.
It'll take them some time for them to cross the border.
We need you to hold them off.
Roger that!
Judging from the distance to the safe zone, we have three options.
To force the enemy to retreat, to destroy them all,
or stop the unmanned units by defeating the commander and the commander unit.
Right.
We found this video recording from yesterday's battle.
This man opened fire on the enemy, triggering the battle.
When he approached the commander unit, he was shot dead.
We can infer that this man made some type of deal with the enemy commander,
but was betrayed.
This is what the enemy is capable of.
They aren't planning on letting anyone, including the civilians, go.
There's no going back.
They'll have manned units for sure. Are you ready, Amou?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
Captain, we'll be entering the combat zone soon.
Finally! All units, prepare to fire!
As soon as you see the enemies, open fire—
Even from this distance...?
It might look the same, but I tinkered with it a little!
You're set up to do some super-long-range sniping!
Dammit! Heavy armor units, move forward!
Swap out your ammo!
There's only a few, but the new armor-piercing grenades will do the trick!
Three heavy armor units have been destroyed!
Impossible!
A durable shield like that has to weigh a lot, decreasing the unit's mobility.
Shion!
Wow! It feels so light!
It's lighter in weight while maintaining its durability!
The thruster output has increased as well, so you can fly longer and faster!
My princess!
Right!
Shion's drawing the enemy's attention.
Let's go!
With the new model spec, you can go toe-to-toe
with the North American military even if you're outnumbered!
We've spotted three enemy AMAIMs! We're taking more damage!
What should we do, Captain?!
Keep it together. They just got the first strike.
It's only the three of them!
Break up our troops into three groups! Attack them individually!
Our military's AI is capable of handling this!
They're changing formation.
This attack's a bit tricky.
We need to get some distance between us.
It's started.
What's your read?
Overwhelming the enemy in numbers is an obvious strategy.
However, Captain Blanc made a wrong assumption.
What do you mean?
Until yesterday, the terrorists were fighting without supplies.
But now, they have that white original AMAIM with them.
He's also given them time.
It's safe to assume they were able to resupply and conduct maintenance.
They're completely different.
That's true. The unit specs are higher than yesterday's.
Are you saying they should've taken them on last night?
Either that, or doubled their forces.
One more thing. I actually respect their teamwork.
One unit attracts the enemy while the second attacks it.
When the enemy targets the second unit, the third strikes them down.
It's simple, but once you find yourself in that loop, it's hard to get out.
If this situation continues, the casualties will...
Yes, I feel the burden on my shoulders getting heavier.
I suppose replicas can't beat the originals.
Not yet, anyway.
Captain! If we continue taking damage, we won't be able to maintain our troops!
What are your orders, Captain?!
This is ridiculous. How can this be?
Me, running from the terrorists with my tail between my legs? No!
Brad Watt.
Captain Blanc, I suggest you put a stop to this battle now.
There's no point in losing our units unnecessarily.
If you stop now,
you can still get out of this relatively unscathed.
I appreciate your advice.
He rides on Deputy Commander Spears' coattail! The nerve of him!
Captain!
That's the commander unit!
Yeah!
Don't underestimate me!
Please retreat.
What?!
If you promise not to come after us, we won't attack anymore.
Amou...
Are you ordering me?
We know you deceived a Japanese man for your own gain.
Promise us that you'll never hurt the Japanese people ever again.
If you do, then—
Why would I stop?! You all belong on the ground, cowering at my feet!
I'd do it again and again!
You're nothing but terrorists!
Amou...
What do you think, Captain?
How did the white original AMAIM do?
I can sense its determination, but there's grim atmosphere.
Captain, we have our new orders.
We're up against Major Alexei Zelenoy from the Eurasia military, huh?
Bring it on. It's time to test that unit out!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E16 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

All right. Leave the civilians to us.
Thank you.
Anyway, how'd you outrun the North American military?
Our pilots are very good.
U-Um, Amou!
Yeah?
Um, well, I was just...
Uh...
I'm sorry.
Ah...
Are we leaving?
Yes, we've got our orders.
We're going to the Eurasian border.
Our enemy is Commander Alexei Zelenoy.
I've heard of him. Rumor has it that he's pretty good.
Ray, Sofia, get ready to leave.
Yes, sir!
You heard me, Charlie.
Are you serious? Even if we put a rush on it, it'll only be about 80% complete.
I'm only asking because I know you guys are good.
You know the way to an engineer's heart.
I'm counting on you.
No matter how difficult it is, I'll tame it and make it my own.
My fingers are quite limber today.
This is going to be a good day.
That's good to hear.
What's the situation?
The enemy has lost 25% of their forces,
while we've only lost 12%.
Percentages are meaningless numbers.
Even if we lose the same number of units,
the percentage is halved if we sent out twice as many units.
Numbers are important.
True. It also affects soldier's morale.
We've also received word that the enemy is sending in reinforcements.
The NAC is so greedy.
They don't mind taking territory,
but they can't stand it when it's taken away.
They're troublesome.
Indeed, they are.
What are your orders?
Let's teach them a lesson.
Yes. We'll go through Fukui and enter Kyoto.
We should be there by tomorrow.
Shion! What's up? You look so glum!
Come on. Some studies show that enjoying your meal increases nutritional—
Whoa! What's wrong?! I'm sorry, was it something I said?!
I just don't know how I feel anymore.
I'm really glad Amou's back, but...
He seems so distant.
It's almost like he's avoiding us.
Did we do something that made him hate us?
I promise you, that isn't the case.
I want to go back to how we were before, but...
Does it bother you?
The fact that Amou defeated the enemy in the last battle?
I'd be lying if I said no,
but as a fighter myself, I'm also ready for when the time comes.
But, when the time actually does come,
I'm not sure if I can be like Amou.
If I can be so calm like him.
My thoughts are all over the place, all jumbled up.
I'm struggling to sort out my feelings.
I don't know what I should do, or even what I want to do.
You really haven't changed, Shion.
Don't worry. Amou hasn't changed either.
You okay, Amou?
Yeah, I'm good.
If only I had a body, I'd rub your back.
It's fine. I'm just glad you're here.
Sir, I have information from the recon unit.
Enemy forces have additional units and are stationed at point D7.
We aren't seeing any movement.
Our troops will finish regrouping by 0430.
Is it true they're sending us reinforcements?
Yes. HQ is sending us Captain Brad Watt's troops.
We don't need his help.
Understood. You may leave.
Brad Watt. I know you're working with the Development Agency behind the scenes,
but I won't let you have your way on my battlefield.
I'll wrap everything up before you get here.
Doing maintenance work on Kenbu?
Yeah. You, too?
It's become a habit since Ms. Misuzu wasn't with us for a while.
You don't look so good.
Huh? Um, I guess?
Who knows? I don't pay attention to you that closely.
You're the one that said it.
Do you enjoy doing maintenance work?
Yeah, it's fun.
Good. That's good.
We managed to get it ready in time.
Unfortunately, the leg sections are incomplete,
and the output setting's not in line with spec, so please watch out.
Understood. Thank you.
That suit can handle rapid movement to some degree.
Really, Captain. Your requests are too darn specialized!
Anyway, I've been up all night, so I'm going to hit the sack.
I better have a good dream.
I know, I won't let you down.
Ah, a multi-wave line abreast formation.
And a very fast invasion speed at that.
Seems they don't want to wait for their reinforcements.
Team Four, flank left!
Team Five, advance! Join forces with Team Two!
We'll force our way in!
Ah, it seems they're playing right into our hands.
Enemy commander unit confirmed!
All units, charge!
Enemy troops are falling back!
Go after them!
Their commander unit has passed the destination point!
Light it up.
What?!
What's going on?!
The groundwater level's high around here, and we're in a sandy area.
You can easily induce liquefaction with enough stress.
Interesting, isn't it?
Wh-Why is it moving like that?!
We've utilized special equipment designed for snowy mountains.
Our units can move with these on because they're smaller and lighter than yours!
Target acquired! Destroy the commander unit!
It seems luck is on his side.
Continue firing! Get the enemy units away from First Lieutenant Cartland!
Roger that!
Drop off all AMAIMs!
There's an unidentified unit, most likely a new model!
Oh?
All right. This is a special day; our first battle!
Let's show them what you've got, Ghost!
I'm going to rescue First Lieutenant Cartland! Cover me!
Roger that!
This is a walk in the park for you, isn't it?
Did they reprogram their leg settings to adapt to the wetland already?!
First Lieutenant! We're here to help!
Captain Watt...
Our AI has analyzed the terrain's scan data.
Evacuate along this route!
R-Right...
They only sent one unit for the rescue! Destroy it!
You're gonna take on all this at once?
You're going to be a bigger challenge than I thought.
What an incredible machine...
First Lieutenant, this way!
This has gotten interesting! I'm going in.
Major!
I want to see its strength for myself!
I can't hold back my excitement any longer!
Shion, you may not know this, but Amou had a nightmare last night.
And he won't ask for help.
Come on! Show me what you've got!
What a surprise, the commander himself!
Deploy!
Nice! You're an excellent commander, Alexei Zelenoy!
You work well with your second-in-command as well!
He's on his own...
First Lieutenant Raymond! We need to go help the captain!
Right.
Not one bullet has hit him with that many aiming at him?!
However...!
Yes, he's still outnumbered!
I'll handle them! You guys go!
Roger that!
You're demanding a reflex faster than a human's reaction time!
Jeez, you're fraying my nerves here!
He's already responding to our moves!
What an amazing learning speed.
So be it! Let's have a sword-match, commander to commander!
Wait! His unit's responsiveness is too high!
It's impossible to take him on with your unit!
Life's worth risking when you're fighting a powerful opponent!
Get ready!
Bring it on!
That's impressive, considering your unit's specs.
You're strong. However!
Is that all you've got, Ghost?!
I'll rise higher!
Alec!
Captain.
Should we go after them?
No, I think I pushed it too hard.
Are you all right?
Yes. I'm surprised the North American military created such a monster.
And it's still incomplete.
It is?!
Yes. He didn't come after me when he should've.
At the very least, his output balance hasn't been adjusted yet.
Once they're able to complete it and go into mass production,
the North American military will clearly be the dominant force.
Dahlia, cancel my fly-fishing weekend at Lake Baikal.
There's a lot I need to think about.
Look, that's Yatagarasu's new HQ.
Everyone, welcome back. You must be tired from your long trip.
Mission accomplished! Twelve injured, zero KIA.
We also picked up two members.
I'm glad you're alive, Amou, Misuzu.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
It's fine. Your safety is what matters most!
You must be tired. You should eat up and get some rest.
Yes, sir.
Amou...
Tell us what happened to you in the last eight months.
Nothing, really...
You're lying.
If that's true, why are you distancing yourself from us?
You're acting so different and it's plain as day! Spill it.
I'm telling you, it's nothing...
We'll be the judge of that!
Please.
Tell us, Amou!
I'm sorry...
Don't give me that!
Tezuka...
I don't want to hear that!
I don't want an apology!
You're in pain!
Something's eating at you!
What is it?! Let it out!
We want to listen!
Aren't we friends?
I'm surprised about what Tezuka said...
He said you're friends.
Yeah.
Are you afraid, Amou?
Yes, I'm scared. I'm a coward!
The reason you're afraid is because they're important to you, too!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E17 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Don't give me that!
I don't want to hear that!
I don't want an apology!
You're in pain!
Something's eating at you!
What is it?! Let it out!
We want to listen!
Aren't we friends?
Tezuka...
Amou, this is the first time Gashin has said something like this.
Please understand his feelings and where he's coming from...
Yeah, that's right.
How long are you going to worry my princess? Know your place.
Nayuta...
Amou...
TRYVECTA, the place where Gai and the others were created,
was attacked around the same time Brenson Corp was also attacked.
Yes, we heard. Ms. Misuzu explained it to us.
I escaped with Ms. Misuzu and others from TRYVECTA.
We headed to a backup research facility that was built in case of emergency.
Looks like the North American military expanded their territory again.
Rumor has it they've deployed a new AI.
It'd make sense...
Eurasia, Asia, and Oceanian territories are being pushed back.
It seems many Japanese people are getting caught in the crossfire.
I understand how you feel. Our time will come.
Right...
Amou, Amou, Amou!
Are you free?
Let's play! Please!
Yeah, okay. What do you want to play?
Read us a story! One of those Japanese stories!
Baseball!
Karate! Let's do Karate!
Absolutely not!
There were a lot of kids at the facility.
Staff members and their families were all living together.
Probably to prevent family members from being taken as hostages.
I get it.
The facility was big enough for everybody to live in.
Since it was built for emergencies, they had military-level defense systems,
and it was guarded by Mr. Dialo and his team.
Oh, that private military company?
Right, ARES.
The facility was located on an isolated island in the middle of nowhere.
I guess that's why it was a little too boring for the kids.
Before I knew it, I was assisting the nursery school teachers there.
And so, Momotaro and his friends set out for the Demon Island.
All right! We're gonna go to the Demon Island and beat up those evil demons!
Let's do it, woof!
I'm pumped, oo-oo-oo!
Tweet!
They're all Gai!
I bet he's gonna do the evil demons, too!
I bet you're right!
Well, how else are we gonna do this when it's just me?! Get with the program!
Don't lose your temper over what the kids say!
Take this, evil demons!
Amou.
Mr. Dialo.
Can I have a moment?
We've got it covered. You can go.
All right.
Are you really sure you want me to coach AMAIM pilots?
Our mission is mainly security.
We have access to AMAIMs, but we rarely fight in them.
Just think of it as giving advice based on your experience.
If you say so.
Phew, they're such a handful!
Even if I cloned myself, it still wouldn't be enough!
What's this? You seem to be having a blast.
I can see it in your log.
Looks like you're all good, based on the stats.
Yup, I'm good as new! I actually feel sharper than before.
You might not look any different, but I did swap a new unit in.
The one before was too damaged to keep using.
I'm glad the memory data wasn't corrupted.
By the way, I have a favor to ask.
That German guy?
Yeah, I thought he seemed shady, but...
All right, I'll see what I can find.
I just gotta tread carefully so they can't track us down.
Thank you.
You're here again?
I have the dossier on Congressman Roy Walker.
Here you go.
You seem tired.
I hate playing politics.
Negotiating, backroom deals, unspoken messages... Not my area of expertise.
Would you like some tips from me?
No, I'm fine. I'll tell you if I ever need it.
As you wish.
Those accidents that occurred overseas a few months ago...
There are rumors that the North American military was involved,
but I didn't lend my troops.
Do you have sponsors other than me?
Of course not. What a baseless accusation.
I could put an end to that rumor's source, if you'd like?
No, leave it be. If the time comes, I'll ask.
Try not to make a move without my saying. You'll put us in a bad spot.
I'm well aware.
When making sudden turns or doing a 180,
the pilot's experience is important,
but so is having the combat AI learn geographic and geological patterns.
Practice makes perfect.
It's not something that can happen overnight, then.
All right, let's do three more sets and finish for the day.
After that, we'll take a break and then go into basic training,
but do you really wanna join us?
Yes! All I did was sleep while I was recovering,
so I need to get back into shape!
I'll be fine! I never stopped training at Yatagarasu, either!
Well, give it a go, then.
Eight more laps! Keep up the speed! Don't lower your arms!
Hey, you still alive?
Just barely...
Tough, isn't it?
Mr. Dialo and his team are one of the most trusted in the industry.
I underestimated them...
Are you re-training because you plan on going back to Yatagarasu?
Yes. We can't reach out to them, but we know what's been going on.
They're clamping down on resistance organizations even harder now.
Tezuka and everybody else are hard at work.
I have to get back to them quickly.
Best not to rush things, Amou!
Misuzu has successfully gotten into contact with Brenson Corp.
Apparently, they're developing a new Kenbu over there.
Though, it'll take a little more time to complete it.
Oh, come one! I wanted to be the bearer of good news!
Once Kenbu's done, zoom! We'll be on our way, and then bam!
- We'll show up, and surprise everybody at HQ! - Okay!
New and improved, Team Gai and Amou is back!
Yeah!
Life at the facility was fun.
There was some tension, but I think I got used to it as the days went by.
Like I said before, the facility was located on a remote island.
Food, among other various things, had to be transported.
That's where we were vulnerable to attack.
Hey, the transport team's back.
They're a little behind schedule.
All right, park the vehicle!
What're they doing?!
They're not slowing down!
- Gai?! - Dammit!
It's forcing its way through the security wall!
It's even coming after me...!
This speed and viciousness...
Could it be a malware based off of Ghost?
It's disabling the defense system...!
They're inside the building! I'm gonna focus on getting the system back up!
Misuzu, you need to evacuate now!
Got it!
We know the situation, but we can't use AMAIMs inside the facility!
Everyone, get your I-Packs!
Prioritize the safety of the people!
Strike team, take down the intruders!
I'm so scared!
We're okay. It's gonna be okay.
Don't worry. We have Mr. Dialo on our side.
Here, Amou.
We have to protect the children.
Just in case, if we have to fight.
I understand.
Let's head to the server room. It's the most secure room around here.
No!
Gai? Why not?
They're trying to break in! Worst case, you'll bump into them!
Dammit, I can't even get it to budge!
No matter. We'll kill everyone in this facility and take our time later.
You two, stay here. Shoot anything that comes out.
Roger that.
We need to get moving. Let's go.
Let's go.
We've trained for this kind of situation!
We know the area better than them as well!
Dammit! There's no end to this!
It's taking up most of my resource just trying to get the system back!
I'm analyzing the program now. Just hang on for a while longer.
And to think it's just a copy! That Ghost is really something!
There's a path here!
They've found us!
There's a shelter up ahead. Let's pick up the pace.
Amou, they're coming!
Get the kids to the back! Now!
Are you okay?
Amou! Amou! This is your chance to run, Amou!
Amou!
Amou!
Calm down, Amou! It's over!
You're safe now.
Mommy, I was so scared...
So that's what's been eating at you...
You did nothing wrong. You did it to protect the kids.
It was a do-or-die situation.
I know that.
But the expressions on the enemies' faces who were gunned down,
and the fear in the kids' eyes when they looked at me...
I can't unsee them.
So I'm sorry...
Wait, Amou!
I see, so that's what happened.
Yes...
Was it all right for you to share this with us?
Amou had already asked me to tell you.
He said, "Please let Mr. Udou and Mr. Kumai know."
He knew it was necessary for the mission,
but wasn't sure if he could bring himself to talk.
I understand. Thank you for sharing.
Of course.
It must've been hard on you, too. I also know the pain of losing comrades.
No... Amou must be in more pain than I am...
Age has nothing to do with it.
It's just that adults know how to handle it better.
You did good at the briefing.
No, I'm sorry I couldn't have done better.
As expected, Congressman Walker has submitted a budget cut proposal.
Even with the battle record of when you fought against the Eurasian military,
he won't agree to the budget.
At this rate, they'll likely cut down the budget for autonomous AI development.
I see...
Don't worry. It's our job to take it from here.
Yes, sir.
I hear you've been spending some time with peculiar company lately.
He's a good businessman. He's been giving me advice on various aspects.
You should shake off the dust on you sooner rather than later.
You're someone I can pass down the mantle to one day, Brad.
Thank you, Father.
You're being very quiet, Major. It's creeping me out.
My brain's gone into hibernation.
I'm more useless than a cat in winter right now.
True, a sleeping cat is at least heartwarming to see.
There's a saying in Japan, "sleep and wait for good news."
But sleeping too much is boring.
I'm hoping for some action soon.
It seems you've got it.
You've been promoted, Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy.
They've also officially approved the proposal you've submitted.
You've been appointed as the commander in charge.
Let the party begin.
Second Lieutenant Ho Guang and the rest of you four have been released.
Your sentences were reduced. You've all been given special orders.
Report to the military HQ immediately.
Second Lieutenant Oliver Martin!
What is it?
This is from HQ. Please confirm.
All right.
What is it, Captain? There's no reason to summon me here.
Nothing you say will make me withdraw the budget cut proposal.
There's something I'd like you to see, Congressman Walker.
Are you threatening me?
Of course not. It's just that...
...news media and self-righteous reporters sus out the truth so quickly.
I figured we could build a good working relationship.
I believe Captain Watt is negotiating with Congressman Walker as we speak.
Honestly, I'm not sure how he can be so passionate.
I cannot fathom why he's so invested in manned units.
By the way, he was fishing for answers.
He asked if I had another sponsor for the incidents overseas.
How would you like me to handle this?
If push comes to shove, we'll have to cut him loose.
Do I have your approval, Deputy Commander Spears?
Yes, that's fine.
It's for the good of our army and the confederation.
Well, what a surprise.
I never would've thought you'd reach out to me.
You must be in a very tight spot, Yusei.
Kumai!
Chairman Udou.
How are Gashin and the others doing?
It's hard to say...
Are we really moving onto the next mission like this?
The war, the world, mercilessly goes on regardless of our inner turmoil.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E18 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Long time no see, Mr. Suenaga! How have you been?
Um, yeah, I'm fine...
I haven't seen you in a while either, Gashin.
Yeah.
He came to us for help, so I asked you guys to gather here.
Yuusei, can you explain what's going on?
Certainly. Through my own network, a group came to me for help.
What kind of help?
Not too far from the North American border,
in the mountains of Eurasian territory,
is a sanctuary for Japanese people built by a pro-Japanese soldier.
A sanctuary...
A secret one, of course.
It was never a problem because of the distance from the border.
However, after months of North American military invasion,
the area has recently become part of the frontline.
Since the Eurasian military deemed the area to have little strategic value,
they aren't keen on sending reinforcements.
So far, the pro-Japanese soldiers stationed there are holding their own,
but they're at their limit...
Our intel says the North American military is planning another invasion soon.
If the sanctuary collapses, many Japanese people will suffer.
I know I have no right asking you this...
but I'd like you to help them. Please.
Let's do it!
I see no reason not to!
What about you, Amou?
I'm with everyone else.
All right, we'll help.
Thank you so much.
I haven't seen or talked to Yuu since the last time he came to HQ.
But you probably guessed as much, right?
Yeah, sort of. I suspected something had happened.
Yuu was an Asian military spy.
What?
To protect his autonomous city.
He was threatened to find information about Yatagarasu's HQ.
I gave Yuu fake information about the new HQ's location and when we were moving.
I also told him the information's fake.
What? But, then...
Yuu could've told the Asian military the information was fake.
If he did, they'd have set up patrols all over,
making it that much more difficult for us to move to our new HQ.
But he didn't do that.
He took the blame to protect Yatagarasu. That's what I believe, anyway.
So what about this time around?
Udou came to me prior to this, and I verified his story.
The existence of a sanctuary was well-hidden,
but I have enough data to back up what Yuusei said.
He wasn't lying.
Yuu knew the risks of being suspected himself, but he came to us for help.
Even without Kei's verification, I was going to put my trust in him.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Then why explain all this to us now?
I just wanted you guys to know.
I see...
We're arriving at our destination soon.
Copy that.
What about the AMAIMs?
The usual. They're on auto-pilot, taking a route to avoid detection.
They're on schedule.
I think I see it. Is that the place?
We're from Kumakura Farms.
We've been expecting you. Please, come in.
Welcome. We're glad you're here.
I'm Takayanagi Anna. I'll be your guide today.
Huh? Anna?
It's been forever, Shion.
Wow!
What are you doing here?!
My family lives around here.
Who's she?
A member of Arahabaki.
She exchanged numbers with my princess.
Are these the members from Yatagarasu, Anna?
Hey, Brother.
Huh?
Nice to meet you. I'm Cyril Zhirkov, the chairman of this place.
I-I'm Kumai from Yatagarasu.
He's your brother?
Yup, my brother-in-law.
And that's my big sister.
I'm Takayanagi Yuuna. It's a pleasure to meet you.
So your baby's due soon.
Are you okay to be walking?
It feels heavy, but I've been told to move around.
The sanctuary is disguised as a single corporate entity.
We make a profit by running ranches and manufacturing processed goods.
Officially, we provide the Japanese people live-in jobs here.
The military has given us permission to build residential areas.
That's why it's a city for workers.
Correct.
It's similar to Yuusei's city, but a little different.
Yeah.
I like Japanese people.
Their tradition and culture, the people, everything.
I want to protect them.
But if we simply call it a sanctuary,
military and federal government will protest and shut us down.
That's why they mustn't know.
Only a handful of my men who share my belief know the truth.
As my private property, the sanctuary's free from military interference.
One day, when peace is restored, I'd like to relinquish ownership,
and give it back to the people of Japan.
Your husband's a wonderful person.
Thank you.
Various economic blocs consider Japan to be a bridgehead.
The North American military wants to advance into the far east.
The Federation of Great Eurasia wants to advance southward.
The Asian Free Trade Entente needs a shield in the Pacific area.
The Confederation of Oceania wants to advance northward.
People in Europe believe Japan's a dead country,
so it is rarely talked about.
I'm truly sorry.
Please, it isn't your fault.
I heard there's an army protecting this area?
Just one squadron that I lead.
I pilot the commander unit.
HQ sends supplies such as ammo and the like, but not reinforcements...
It's just like Yuusei said.
Yeah.
How do you know the North American military is planning on invading again?
Eurasian HQ got the wind of it.
My men and I have been advised to evacuate.
Which means we need to hit the North American military hard.
We really need your help. Please.
All right. We'll do everything we can.
Thank you!
We're in your debt!
We'll now take a vote on the military budget.
All in favor, please raise your hands.
I'm shocked to see Roy Walker change his vote in favor of it.
I wonder what changed his mind.
I don't know, but perhaps he understands the significance of this war.
Whatever the reason, the budget's approved.
You'll be even busier, Brad.
I understand.
I'm counting on you.
So we got the budget, Charlie.
I'm glad to hear that, but could you do something about those guys?
The fresh troops from the Second Unit?
They're supposedly a new experimental unit or whatever,
but they're asking for a copy of Ghost.
You sure you're okay with this?
We can't ignore a request from an allied nation.
Besides, we're only providing them the base program,
not the learning and decision-making engine at its core. It'll be fine.
It's probably Zack Taylor's doing.
You know him?
Ever since we were students.
He's awful. The type of person you'd never want to be friends with.
- Yuuna! - Sis!
I think I'm having contractions...
All right, let's get you to the hospital.
Don't worry, I'll be right by your side.
You have important work to do. Don't worry about me.
What? But...
I'll go with her.
All right, thank you.
Men are useless at times like this.
Mr. Cyril...
I have this dream...
When peace is restored,
I want to travel all over Japan with my wife and child.
Visit different places, see various sceneries, make tons of memories...
I hope for a day when we can travel like that, for my dream to come true.
We hope your dream comes true, too.
Thank you.
That sound is from the North American military transport unit.
They must think the air defense is light. How bold of them.
Or they're trying to rile us up?
There's a North American military outpost that way.
And not just a unit or two.
They may even try to invade this area as early as tomorrow, Amou.
Yeah.
What a spectacular view. This is great! My very own toys.
What are you going to do with two platoons?
We may be in the middle of nowhere, but it's still the frontline!
We don't have soldiers to spare!
Don't worry, I'll pilot the commander unit.
Don't be ridiculous! You're an amateur. The squads work together—
You're the one who's clueless about its features, improvement, behavior...
I can operate this unit and fight better than anybody here.
Just think of me as a flying column.
Didn't HQ tell you to let me do as I please?
Tsk.
Ah, this is going to be so great.
It'll be the perfect testing ground for my first battle.
I just can't wait to play.
I see them, the enemy squads.
We've got eyes on them, too.
Estimated time of engagement is 12 minutes 20 seconds.
Good. Return to base, Masaki. We'll use the security cameras from here on out.
Roger that.
So that's our plan.
The North American military can't get wind of us fighting together.
If they get any footage of it, it'll become a huge problem.
That's why we're going to fight against each other.
Right. We need to sell it to the North American military.
We'll make sure it's believable!
We'll send you our behavior patterns.
You can keep the hits to a minimum while making it look real.
Thank you.
Sis!
I've got word that Yuuna's in the delivery room now.
We can't let the enemies get through.
Give it your all, Amou!
Right!
The new 40mm arm cannon's loaded with 20 armor-piercing shells.
It's powerful, but keep your eyes on the remaining ammo.
All right.
All shots hit their mark. Units destroyed as planned!
Let's move. Boss!
Open fire!
They're using the old Jo Hound models they stole from us! Damn terrorists!
Eurasian military units at one o'clock!
The terrorists and the Eurasian military are fighting...
Great! We can catch the terrorists in a pincer movement.
Only a few Eurasian military units are out there! Let's take both of them down!
They took the bait. We'll attack from behind as planned!
- Right! - Amou, to your right!
Huh?
Ah!
Be careful, Amou! Something's up with these units!
After the first attack, I knew the original AMAIM was here.
Your go-to tactic's to break into three for an ambush. Just as I suspected...
These units...
Attack pattern analysis complete! Match rate is 91.3%!
You...!
My princess!
Thanks, Nayuta.
My princess, that black unit has Ghost's AI engine installed!
What?!
A little birdie told me you struggled to fight against one Ghost on Oki Island.
I have six. I wonder...? Will you be able to win?
I hope you'll serve as good test subjects, at the least.
Good, their balance is broken! Crush them at once!
This is bad, Boss! We can't keep up the fake fight anymore!
How close are you, Gashin?!
I know!
I know, but... Dammit!
That's some attack!
Its viciousness is certainly that of Ghost's!
Please fall back, Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki!
What do you mean?!
We can't hold the frontline much longer.
If we keep this up, we'll all be killed! I don't want that!
So, at the very least, please save yourselves!
Don't be stupid!
That's not how...
...we work!
You have a baby who's waiting for your safe return!
Sis...
Come, now. Please try to be good test subjects!
Huh?
It looks like you've got this wrong.
The true threat of Ghost is its learning speed and high adaptability,
which this black unit lacks.
Not to mention the significant performance difference between the units!
Just slapping the AI on any unit doesn't make it Ghost!
Plus, we've learned these units' attack pattern and capabilities!
Let's show them we're in a completely different league!
Too much viciousness just leads to simplicity.
What?!
It's okay! Shion, it's okay.
Amou...
Please fall back. We won't continue attacking if you do.
It's not over.
We need to go help Boss and the others.
Roger that!
What happened to the North American military?
Oh, right... We successfully drove them back.
How's Yuuna and the baby?
It's a girl. They're both doing good.
She's so cute and soft!
She's smiling...
Don't be so shy, Amou.
Huh? But...
J-Just be gentle...
Um, right! Of course.
She grabbed your finger.
She's so tiny.
Well, she's a newborn.
But she's so warm, and her hands are perfect...
You should be proud, Amou.
Huh?
You saved this life.
Amou?
Sorry, it's nothing.
Sorry...
They got away?
I'm sorry, sir.
The terrorists disappeared when the North American military withdrew.
Our troops were too damaged to pursue them.
It's fine. We'll send more unmanned units.
We've prepared two additional platoons as well.
Thank you.
There's been a lot of activity at HQ recently.
I'm counting on you to defend the area.
Understood, sir.
Sorry, you guys.
I'm sorry to have worried you so much.
Thanks.
Don't mention it.
He's right. We're friends, after all. Right?
Yeah.
I'm so glad you're back to your old self, Amou!
Seriously, I'm really sorry about all that.
It's fine.
But our next special mission won't be a walk in the park.
Yeah, it's gonna be tough.
But we'll work together, the three of us, and make it a success!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E19 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Did you turn off your cell phones?
- Yup. - And the PCs?
All networks have been cut off.
Cameras?
We used the blind spots to get here.
All right, let's go in.
We're on to them now!
She's so adorable!
I can't stop smiling!
Why are all babies so cute?
I can't believe this came out of a human body...
Seven pounds and six ounces, perfectly healthy.
Talk about the mystery of life.
You know, you guys were once babies, too.
We were?
Uh-huh. Each one of you had a different caretaker.
Gai, your caretaker loved robot stuff,
and incorporated her favorite show into your training materials.
Bardiche Breaker!
Ohhh...
What do you mean, "ohhh"?!
Oh, oh! What about me?!
Did they show me a brilliant genius hacker movie?!
No, you watched a lot of biographical and historical films.
So that's where I got my traditional and elegant gentleman-like personality.
You're so positive.
Kei, your caretaker was a dependable mother,
so you might've taken on her traits.
Oh, that makes sense, too!
It's hard to notice these things yourself.
Actually, it's almost the anniversary of when your base program was completed.
Base program?
Kinda like the seed of an AI.
We designed Gai, Kei, and Nayuta based on it.
Yeah?
I see, this sounds interesting. Give it a try, then.
Thank you so much!
I'll tell Kumai and the others to help you as well,
and that this is a special top-secret mission!
We got a special mission.
It's top-secret, so it must be extremely difficult.
Are you all ready for this?
We left all our digital devices behind.
The electromagnetic blockers are set up as well.
What about the security system?
The surveillance cameras are active, but the access code has been changed.
We've also intentionally created blind spots.
Please use those areas when traveling.
All right, let's get this meeting started.
The execution date is June 2nd. I'd like to move forward with Amou's plan.
I like this idea! It's a lot of work, but still...
Sorry about that.
We'll divide the team up into three like we always do.
Maki, Muramatsu, and Amou will handle the programming.
Masaki and Gashin, you'll—
Oh! Is this a strategy meeting?
Huh?!
You left your cell, my princess.
You'd be lost without me, Angelo, by your side.
- Huh? What? - Count us in for this meeting.
Wait... Uhh...
Shoot, I forgot to turn it off...
Break it!
Please don't!
Take him out!
Eek! Stop it!
No! Don't touch me there!
Looks like the secret's still safe.
Hmm, that was kinda suspicious.
I agree.
I can't access the surveillance system. Seems they changed the code.
They left their cell phones in their rooms, too.
They're up to something!
Bring it on! They won't be able to fool us in a million years!
We'll do whatever it takes to solve this mystery!
Let's investigate!
Nope, this won't work.
This is a bit old, too.
Nothing's really catching my eye...
Whatcha doing?
Well, the MR—
MR?
Ah!
What about the MR?
Wh-What are you talking about?
Come on, don't try and hide it. You're a terrible liar.
I even know you have a crush on Misuzu.
Huh?!
Don't worry, I get it!
But do you really want to hide your feelings forever?
No, of course not.
Tell you what, I'll teach you how to get Misuzu to like you.
What?!
If you tell me what you're up to, that is.
Don't you wanna know?
Just tell me. Tell me everything.
- Spill it! - Come on, be a man!
Are you really happy with the way things are?
Wouldn't it be great if someone could help with your laundry?
Kei?!
Waking up to the smell of miso soup,
coming home to a house with the lights already on, to a home-cooked meal.
A sense of peace that you can't get if you're single, the perfect married life.
I-I don't know anything about that, but sure! Anyway, talk to you later!
Wait! Don't you want to reassure you parents back home?
They've been begging you to have kids.
How do you know that?
I can help you if you'd like. I can find a perfect partner for you.
It'll be so easy in the hands of us, I-LeS.
Operating voltage, check.
All actuators, check.
Kumai! I've been looking for you.
I'm not talking.
"I'm not talking," huh? So, you are hiding something.
Like I said, I'm not talking.
You're a very loyal man.
I get it. I totally get the hardships you're going through.
You sacrificed your family life for the restoration of Japan.
Divorced your wife and left your only daughter before joining Yatagarasu.
But that was to protect them.
And you haven't talked to them since. That must be so hard...
But with my help, you could talk to them over a secure line...
What?!
Don't worry, it'll be our secret!
As long as you share yours...
Don't underestimate me! Sometimes, a man has to endure pain!
Dammit!
No one spilled the beans...
They're harder to crack than expected.
But there are other ways to do this.
They're bound to leave clues when they make a move.
Did you hear? Gai and the others were snooping around.
Yeah, they told me!
It sounds like they're digging around for information.
Do you think they're listening in on this conversation, too?
The signal blocker device is on, so we should be fine.
But let's keep our guards up.
It's not shopping day today.
The store's different than their usual place, too.
It seems they're open to Japanese customers, but it's out of their way.
They might as well tell us they're up to something.
Huh?
What was that?!
These paintballs take 30 minutes to vaporize.
Ah! What the—
Dammit, this is Dialo's doing!
I never expected them to go this far.
Don't they understand that the more they hide, the harder we'll try?
There are other ways to find out the truth...
We're on to them now!
This camera originally came installed in this facility.
It isn't a part of Yatagarasu's system. We're lucky it's still active!
Nice work.
I've accessed the register at the store they used.
Items purchased were hard drives, high-capacity memory, and...
Interior decor?
- Huh? - Are they planning on building a rocket?
They wouldn't need decor for that.
Those are probably to throw us off.
Wait! Could they be making a new AI?!
Huh?! They wouldn't!
No, it's possible! That explains why they've kept us in the dark...
So what, they don't need us anymore...?
This can't be... My princess!
We need confirmation... We're going undercover!
No one's around. Over.
Keep going. Over.
And you're really sure I'd be able to win Ms. Misuzu's heart?
You'll teach me how to make her fall head over heels for me?
Yeah, a gentleman keeps his word.
I'm only giving you a peek inside, okay? I won't tell you about the mission!
That's fine. We won't get you in trouble.
All right!
- Huh?! - Get him!
- Ow, oww! - You did this to yourself!
You traitor! This is why you're never popular with the ladies!
You're one to talk!
Chief!
Dammit, we picked the wrong person for the job!
I told you picking him was a mistake!
Hey, isn't that a little harsh...?
Give it up! We will carry out this special mission.
Man, they really mean business!
We can't give up! There must be another way!
No, the only option is to confront them head-on.
I'm a little afraid to find out the truth,
but I'd rather hear it from Gashin.
Just a while longer... A while longer and this'll be over...
We just need to keep it a secret until then...!
Oh, Shion! Why are you toying with my emotions?
Nayuta?
Day or night, all I think about is you.
I'm flooded with emotions and I feel like I'm going mad...
Yet, you leave me behind and disappear!
Oh, tell me, who has stolen your heart?
Um...
Come on, tell me! True love must exist between us!
I think you're tired. You should get some sleep.
Um... R-Right...
Let me help.
No, I'm almost done.
I see.
Yeah.
Gashin, you look exhausted.
It's nothing. I'm fine.
Does it have anything to do with whatever you're doing in the audiovisual room?
What are you talking about?
There's no need to hide it. We have an idea of what's going on.
That's why I'm asking you, begging you...
I want to hear it from you, and not from anybody else!
There's nothing to talk about! Really!
Even after all this, you still won't tell me...
Is that tablet offline, too?
We know you guys are up to something! Just tell us!
H-Huh?!
What's this about?
Don't play dumb! We know something's up!
Come on, what are you saying?
So this is something you absolutely want to keep hidden?
Does our bond mean nothing?!
We've stuck together like brother in arms, but now you're tossing me aside?!
That's not true! I couldn't have gotten this far without you!
Even in TRYVECTA,
if you weren't there, I wouldn't have come back to Japan.
Amou... Then tell me what you're hiding!
I told you, it's nothing!
Amou!
Everything will all make sense tomorrow. Just one more day...
"The wind in Yakumo"...
..."smells of bamboo lily."
We barely managed it, but it's done! We're ready when you are! I'm exhausted!
Gai!
Hey, Gai?
Gai's gone!
So's Kei!
Oh, Shion.
Don't tell me Nayuta's gone, too?
Yeah, I can't find him anywhere.
Hmm? No, I haven't seen them.
They're not here.
No, not a clue.
Huh? Gai and the other two disappeared?
We've looked everywhere.
I might have an idea...
Gai, are you in there?
Nayuta, please answer me!
We're all worried about you guys!
Worried? It's too late for that!
Gai's right. We know you guys are creating new AIs.
Huh?!
We understand that our job is done.
What are you talking about?
It's just a misunderstanding! Why would me make—
Enough with the lies! We don't want anything to do with you!
Uhh...
Are they really not coming out?
They've shut themselves in...
What do we do?
Leave it to me!
Don't! Just stay out of this!
I think it's best if one of their partners talk to them. Shion?
Huh?
Uhh...
Don't get mad if I can't pull it off.
O Nayuta! Wherefore art thou Nayuta?!
Huh?
I wish to see your sweet face.
I hope my love for you reaches you!
M-My princess!
Idiot, don't fall for it!
Sorry, my love didn't reach Nayuta.
Nice try, though!
Gashin, you go next!
Huh?!
Kei is more level-headed than Gai
and will listen if you pour your heart out.
I love Kei so much.
I treasure Kei more than anything in my life.
Thank you very, very much for always being there for me.
- Oof... - Yeesh.
Wow, you couldn't sound flatter than that.
At least put some emotion into it...
Gashin...
Oh, come on! Don't let him fool you!
Even Gashin failed.
Unsurprisingly.
We have no other choice. Amou, you're our last hope!
Gai, listen to me.
I don't blame you guys for being mad. We were hiding something from you.
And we're sorry.
But we weren't neglecting you three.
We weren't making new AIs!
You three are very important and irreplaceable to us!
It's true! Nothing can replace you!
So give us another chance and believe in us, please?
Just this once...
Okay, let's do this!
Huh? What's this?
It's showtime!
Wha...?
We're in the same space as you guys?
Huh? What? What's going on?!
Amou! What is this?!
Look, it's appearing!
Happy birthday!
Those faces...!
Our surprise party was a success!
We didn't tell you because we wanted to surprise you.
After learning about your birthday, Amou came up with this MR party.
Everyone was onboard, and started prepping behind your backs.
Not bad for a rush job, huh?
It was a lot of work, though.
We're sorry we got you worried!
So that's what this was about... Not a new AI, but a party...
This is... This is so...
Here.
This feels a little weird.
Like I said yesterday.
Gai, it's you who got me through so much stuff.
Thanks.
Amou...
Let's celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Gai, Kei, and Nayuta!
Cheers!
Happy birthday!
Special mission complete!
There's something I have to do, so I'll excuse myself.
Understood.
Thank you all for waiting.
Wow, that birthday party sure was a blast!
I've never experienced anything like it!
I wouldn't mind having one every day!
If you had it every day, it wouldn't feel special.
I'm more concerned about Mr. Udou.
Yeah, he left mid-party. I wonder if something happened?

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E20 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

I never imagined there'd be a day when I'd see you all like this.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy of the Federation of Great Eurasia.
Temporary Captain Ho Guang of the Asian Free Trade Entente.
Second Lieutenant Oliver Martin of the Confederation of Oceania.
Likewise, Chairman Udou Kiryu.
I'll cut to the chase. We're prepared to support Yatagarasu—
no, the people of Japan.
Historians of future generations will note that
this was the day when we all took the first step to change the world.
You're clear to unload! Be careful, though!
Where could Chief and the others be when we've got something so cool here?
Are you serious...?
Yes. The Asian, Oceanian, and Eurasian blocs
will form a cooperation organization in a specific Japanese region.
They approached us to see if we, Yatagarasu, could join.
In return, they'll liberate the Hokuriku region, an enclave of the AFTE.
The three blocs will treat it as Japanese land and allow autonomy there.
Wow...
In other words, we'll be taking back a part of Japan.
Wow, that's great!
That's mighty generous of them.
It shows how alarmed they are of the NAC.
They'll "liberate" and return our land?
They should be returning all of our land.
Tezuka...
Anyway, can they be trusted?
The Japanese government became a puppet of the NAC. We may end up that way, too..
I don't disagree, but I think this is still worth considering.
The land they plan on returning includes Eurasian and NAC territories.
The Federation of Great Eurasia has already agreed to it,
and we plan on negotiating with the NAC after Japan's autonomy is restored.
The three blocs will back us up when the time comes.
It includes Mr. Cyril's area, too.
Yeah.
It doesn't sound like a bad deal...
...but it's not as simple as that.
Isn't that right, Chairman?
That's correct. There are two major issues.
Location is one.
Just like we mainly operate in the Chugoku region,
there are others that operate mainly in the Hokuriku region.
Resistance organizations have strong horizontal relationships,
but not a hierarchical one.
If we, Yatagarasu, act like representatives of Japan,
those that fought to protect that region wouldn't be amused.
'Cause they'd lose face...
The other problem would be with the NAC?
The Japanese government may exist only in name, but they're under NAC's thumb.
"To protect Japan," the NAC is able to take aggressive military actions.
Obviously, the three blocs would welcome the Japanese government,
but the NAC would never allow it.
There's no reason for them to give the enemy an advantage.
If they do allow it, then they become the enemy of Japan.
And then they'd lose face.
Which means there's a long road ahead before we could negotiate with the NAC.
Why are you telling us this?
It was a request from Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy.
We have high expectations for the three original AMAIMs' combat ability.
To be completely honest, that's all we care about.
We know there's another one in Hokkaido, but it's out of my jurisdiction.
So my hands are tied.
We think highly of the original AMAIMs you have.
However, that doesn't mean we'll steal or seize your technology by force.
Doing so would upset the military balance and trust between us.
Doubts and fear would tear us apart, which goes against our initial goal.
How the original AMAIMs will be handled will be written in the document.
This will be based on legal grounds.
We three economic blocs are open to the cooperation organization.
You can take it or leave it. We hope you'll make the smart decision.
You're MAILeS pilots.
That's why I thought you should know.
- Um... - Hmm?
What about me?
Well, you're one of us, and the president and chief developer of TRYVECTA.
Thank you.
Would you all think about it?
What do you think?
Well, I don't think it's a bad idea.
Yeah, but I'm sure there'd be lots of issues.
More than what Mr. Udou mentioned.
We'll even have to go head-to-head with the North American military.
They've always been our enemy.
Sure, but...
Hey, now. Don't be so down, Amou!
It's normal to feel nervous when you're about to start something new.
It's also unprecedented.
Once the ball starts rolling, the consequences will impact the future.
That's likely why Udou hasn't come to a decision.
Yeah...
You all talking about that?
Try not to talk about it in places like this.
You never know who's listening.
- Seriously, there's nothing better than shiny new parts! - If this gets out to the public, the whole plan could fall apart.
- The smell of fresh oil and everything - If this gets out to the public, the whole plan could fall apart.
- really gets my appetite going! - If this gets out to the public, the whole plan could fall apart.
- really gets my appetite going! - These are sensitive topics.
- really gets my appetite going! - Understood.
Gashin, Amou, and Shion were discussing it, huh?
Yes...
What did the organization in Niigata say?
They were confounded.
Your initial assessment?
A ratio of six to four, with more opposers than supporters.
I guess they aren't fond of the idea that we'd be the new face of Japan...
I'm sure that's not the only reason, but...
What do you plan to do if Gashin and the other two oppose?
We can't simply dismiss the three pilots' opinions.
So you're leaving it up to them?
No, it's us adults that'll make the final call.
It's ours and the prior generations' fault
that Japan is currently divided and ruled by strangers.
We mustn't leave this painful legacy to the next generation.
We, the adults, must take responsibility, so that the children can live freely.
That's my goal, at least.
Of course.
We should go for it.
I thought it over.
It's maddening to be in their debt, but we'd still be getting Japan back.
Even if it's just one area, it's a big step forward.
I choose to move forward rather than waiting at a standstill.
We can deal with the problems as we go.
Better than fretting over it right now, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree with you.
It makes me happy to think that our actions are finally bearing fruit.
All thanks to you, my princess!
It was a team effort, silly.
If it means the Japanese people can live like Japanese people...
If it's going to help those who live in Japan, I'm in.
Yeah!
Exactly!
Ah, are they the original AMAIM pilots?
They're young but talented.
Yes, I know from experience.
I'd like to start, since we're all here.
First off, Chairman Udo, what's your answer to yesterday's proposal?
We'd like to officially accept
and join the cooperation organization.
How are things going with the organizations in Hokuriku?
We're still working on it, but they're all lending their ears.
I believe we can get everyone on board within a few days' time.
He's making it sound easy, but this was only possible
because of his tenacious persuasion during numerous meetings.
That said, I'd like to verify one thing.
Will you really enact laws to protect the rights of the Japanese people?
We'll include that in the document as well.
However, we will not allow immigration to New Japan from other territories.
Understand?
- Yes. - What...? But that's...
They're not saying this out of malice.
If the Japanese people can live as Japanese people,
many would rush over to New Japan.
But at the start of restoration, we'll have no economic base to support them.
We need to avoid New Japan from falling.
Of course, once it takes off...
We'll let the wind decide what the future will hold.
Anyway, now that everyone's in agreement,
let's kick off the signing ceremony.
We'll leave immediately to assemble in what will become New Japan!
I'm temporary First Lieutenant Sun Qiong from the AFTE.
This hangar is for your exclusive use.
Please make yourselves at home.
Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
I'll excuse myself.
This is great. We'll be able to work a lot more efficiently.
Reiki and Kenbu were sent to Hokuriku yesterday, ready for final adjustments.
With all this equipment, we can assemble Jogan's new armor and weapon sooner.
Don't worry, you'll catch up to them in no time.
Right.
I've never been on a plane before.
Me neither.
We're flying between Asian territories, so no red flags.
We don't need fake IDs. This is a breeze!
I'm Alexei Zelenoy.
Udou Kiryu.
Nice to meet you all.
I'd love to sit and chat, but the signing ceremony is starting.
This way.
W-Wow...
Remember this moment well.
This will be a turning point in history!
Just now, the representatives of the Eurasia, the AFTE, and the Oceania
have signed the document agreeing to the cooperation organization.
The AFTE territory centering around Hokuriku will be liberated,
transferring full sovereignty to the newly established government there.
What are they thinking?! They just created a country within a country!
Are they doing this out of spite?
This will shift the political climate drastically.
Thank you all for your hard work.
Follow me, please.
She's pretty.
What?
Wh-Why are you making that face? Stop it.
Shion!
Anna! What are you doing here?
Getting some stuff done, since Brother's sanctuary is now a part of New Japan.
I'm representing him.
He still needs to take care of his newborn baby.
I see!
This is so exciting.
Yeah, it really is.
Hey, are you free tonight? Let's catch up.
Yes, of course!
Seems you and Major Cyril Zhirkov know each other well.
I proposed we include them in New Japan.
Figured that'd make it easier for you guys to join.
Was I wrong?
Um, no, I mean...
He knows.
Hmm? Who are you talking to?
It's bad manners to eavesdrop on a private conversation.
Th-That's not what this is!
Amou, just show him! He'll find out sooner or later.
O-Okay...
A sheep?
No! I'm a lion-dog!
Did you design this?
N-No, Gai came up with it.
I'm Gai, the autonomous AI in Kenbu! Nice to meet you!
Hm, it speaks smoothly. How high is its IQ?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's super-duper high! Don't take me for an idiot!
You certainly talk like one.
What?!
I had Major Zhirkov secretly send me your combat data.
You urged the enemy commander to retreat. Why?
Why?
Why didn't you kill him?
Because I didn't think it was necessary.
Did the AI tell you that?
No, it was my choice.
Hmm.
Is that a problem?
I'm not talking about right and wrong.
I'm asking if you're prepared to kill your enemies when push comes to shove.
Yes.
You need to, in a war.
You aren't in the wrong at all.
I believe we can be good friends.
I'd like to have a drink with you one day.
Grow up into an adult sooner.
That's...
I'll be there, too!
But you can't drink.
Sorry to disappoint, but there's this MR technology that we used before!
Oh?
I never imagined I'd see you again like this.
Me neither.
Looks like the AFTE gave up a lot of land for this.
Got stuck with the short end of the stick?
The enclaves were difficult to manage since the NAC expanded its territory.
Communication, transportation of human resources and supplies, supply lines...
The NAC interfered with us on many occasions.
Some were glad to get rid of the thorn in their side,
allowing the consolidation of forces.
I see.
We're giving up the land,
but Eurasia and Oceania are responsible for the manpower and budget.
So it evens out.
That's good.
I was relieved when I heard about this proposal.
I didn't want to point our guns at you.
You and me both.
Did you get an email from Yuusei?
Yeah, he said I beat him to it,
but he sounds happy for us.
The framework of New Japan was largely based on
Yuusei's autonomous city and Zhirkov's sanctuary.
- You should share that with him! - Yeah.
Gashin, give me a hand, will ya?!
On it!
Have you lost your mind?
Former soldier of an infantry battalion in the First Area Army.
Once chosen as a candidate for a world shooting championship.
You had a brilliant career, but now you live in the underworld.
But I can wipe your slate clean, give you a new life.
You think I'd trust you?
I'm crossing a dangerous bridge myself.
Or would you rather take me down with you?
Your only choice is to follow my orders or die.
Thank you.
You need to work on your tailing skills, Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis.
I could write a letter of recommendation for the Intelligence Agency's
special training program, if you'd like?
Have you really not noticed?
The Public Safety Department is making their move.
You do know... Why are you doing this?!
You've changed since we acquired Ghost!
Request for your discharge, Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis.
Before you get in my way.
A cooperation organization founded by the three blocs?
New Japan? This is absurd!
Meaning, the NAC will not accept it?
Of course not. We have the Japanese government.
What they're doing is supporting terrorist organizations.
To accept it is to give in to terrorism!
But it's the politicians that have stepped into the spotlight.
Scheming bastards...
The nerve of them to say they'll welcome the Japanese government.
You won too hard.
And you pushed the three blocs to unite.
I told you,
you must win a little and lose a little, maintaining the balance.
I don't need a lecture from you.
My apologies.
Your orders are to dismantle this cooperation organization, correct?
We'll provide anything you need.
Am I free to use any means necessary?
I didn't say anything or hear anything. And you'll—
...delete our communication records.
The NAC just contacted us, letting us know that they'd like to hold a meeting.
Not to negotiate about the Japanese government or the territory,
but as a preliminary step forward.
Therefore, each bloc's representatives will not be attending this meeting.
The meeting in Tokyo will be attended by me, three assistants,
and you, Shiiba Amou.
Why me?
It was their request.
They asked that the original AMAIM pilot skilled in hand-to-hand combat join.
What...?
You'll be a guest, so there's no need to attend the actual meeting.
But why?
You must've caught someone's eye there, as well.
Hold up, are we really gonna march into enemy HQ?!
Don't be silly, it's not like we're going there to fight.
I'm tingling with excitement!
Did you hear me?
Keep your guard up.
It was Captain Brad Watt that requested your presence.
Who knows what he's up to.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E21 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

We may be in NAC territory, but we're guests here.
They aren't going to harm us.
We've been expecting you.
Thank you for the warm welcome.
That's him, the man who requested your presence here.
You must be tired, so I apologize,
but we'll be taking you straight to the conference center.
Follow me, please.
I'm reporting live from the guest house entrance.
Today, the future of the world will be determined here,
as the NJCO, New Japan Cooperation Organization, and NAC
begin their preliminary meeting.
There's Congressman Roy Walker!
Chosen as a mediator for this meeting,
his actions could drastically impact the future of Japan.
Lieutenant Colonel!
I'm fine. What about you?
I-I'm okay, too.
Call the ambulance!
And the police!
Congressman Walker's been shot!
They're just protecting us.
Of course, if the situation changes, they'll quickly point their guns at us.
Who'd plan an assassination...?
Who knows? I'm sure the NAC is frantically trying to find the sniper.
Amou, I updated Udou and the others on our situation.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Amou and Alexei are safe.
But, as material witnesses and for their protection,
they're under house arrest at a hotel.
Amou...
Now's no longer the time to be holding a meeting.
We need to get them back as soon as possible.
I doubt they'd let them go that easily.
Who was the sniper?!
The NAC is currently investigating.
It could be the IEU, or infighting within the NAC.
Resistance organizations in Tokyo are another possibility.
It was a sniper attack in the NAC territory
that started the Boundary War, too.
To this day, it's unclear which army was responsible.
Regardless, we need to do everything we can,
just in case.
So that's the gist of it.
We don't know how the situation will play out.
Finish installing Jogan's new equipment ASAP.
Understood.
You were at the hot springs...
You remember me.
Currently, Ghost is hiding in the Oki Islands.
German Gobert arranged everything.
He weaseled himself into the North American military,
the largest in the world, by offering up Ghost.
Camouflaging them as accidents,
he then attacked Brenson Corp and the TRYVECTA facilities.
According to online rumors, the North American military is behind it.
Calm down.
I'm Captain Brad Watt from the North American military.
Why would a soldier conduct an interview?
Someone else will be here to do that.
I've been given special permission to speak to you two.
We've done nothing wrong. There's nothing to say.
You can exercise your right to remain silent during the interview.
You guys were awfully quick to take us into custody after Roy Walker's shooting.
You're either very good, or you knew something was going to happen.
I wonder...
Our security level was raised in order to handle any contingencies.
Who was the shooter?
It's under investigation.
Why are we under house arrest?
You're not. This is for your own protection.
You're free to do as you please in this room, even use your cell phones.
Unfortunately, we do have some communication restrictions in place.
He's right.
Physically, I'm still in Hokuriku.
All I can do is communicate with you, so watch your back.
We'll cooperate for a peaceful resolution,
but we don't know anything.
Which is why you two could be targeted.
Hence the protective custody.
Captain.
Looks like my time's up. I'll see you later.
Yesterday, Congressman Walker was shot by a sniper.
Fortunately, he survived the attack.
To bring peace to Japan, he continued his efforts to end the war quickly.
He accepted the position as a mediator, taking the NJCO very seriously.
However, his hopes were all but crushed by an act of cowardice.
We cannot imagine the depth of his disappointment,
but the meeting with the NJCO will be canceled.
That's all. Any questions?
Do you have a lead on the sniper?
The investigation is underway, with all hands on deck.
Will the meeting be rescheduled?
We're not at that point yet. Apprehending the shooter takes priority.
Last question.
Our sources state that the three blocs' Special Forces
have infiltrated Tokyo.
I can't disclose our source, but surely the NAC knows about this?
Well played. Even with baseless rumors, conversations can be steered.
That's how you manipulate public opinion.
Our investigations are related to sensitive information,
so we cannot answer.
So you do know about it?
Wouldn't that mean the NJCO's behind this shooting incident?
No comment.
However, seeing that we're at war with them, that's entirely possible.
We don't know who the shooter is,
but this is an assault and a violation of world peace.
We're prepared to retaliate against this atrocity.
For all intents and purposes, we've got the declaration of war.
I'm glad you're all right.
Perfect, an unwelcome visitor.
I heard you were wearing a bulletproof vest.
Thanks to the special police's advice.
You were lucky.
Is this all part of your plan?
You're well protected in this military hospital. No need to worry.
A-All right, I did my part! Where's my money?
I just paid. Please confirm the transfer.
Ah... Let me know if you need me again!
Now to make arrangements to take care of him...
You can start a war with just a few people...
...and a little seed money.
Are you worried about the captain?
You're right, he hasn't been acting like himself lately.
He's always been a daredevil, but he was more jovial.
Can I trust you, Warrant Officer Hardy?
If Captain Watt is walking a dangerous path,
will you be able to stop him?
Of course.
Do you know this man?
Pike Davis, 32 years old.
Ex-soldier, former candidate for a world shooting championship.
Two years ago, he shot and killed two fellow soldiers.
He was never caught, and he even briefly worked with the mafia.
What about him?
The other day, I saw the captain make contact with this man.
Maybe the captain ordered him to shoot Roy Walker...!
Impossible. He'd never do that.
I wish I could believe that, but...
If you're going to look into this, I'll help.
Just don't do anything rash on your own.
Yes, sir.
We heard back from Temporary Captain Guang.
The North American military's started their advance on the Asian borders.
There have been minor conflicts in the past,
but it seems they've rescinded the temporary arbitration they had.
The fact that they're advancing now could be an act of retaliation.
If they breach the border and continue their advancement,
the NAC will control the west side of the main island.
In other words, the AFTE's only territory will be the northern area of Kyushu.
If the AFTE decides that Japan isn't worth controlling...
They could potentially withdraw from Japan.
If that happens, the NJCO will cease to exist,
making it more difficult to realize our vision of New Japan.
Kumai.
Sir.
The AFTE's sending reinforcements from all over, but it'll take time.
You guys are closer to the border.
Get there immediately and help them out!
Roger that.
Just in time, huh?
Yeah.
Dammit, quit dancing around!
Your attacks are too predictable!
This is bad. They'll breach the front line at this rate.
To the west of the front line is a lake.
Our communication base station is on an island there.
If they destroy that base station...
Kei, gather intel on the area.
You got it!
First and second platoons are destroyed!
The enemy forces are still advancing!
Dammit! We can't hold them off. The front line's gonna collapse!
All units, fall back to the secondary defense line!
Good, we're almost there!
Now! Fall back!
You can't get to us now!
What?!
Your sniper missed.
He's only human, he's bound to make mistakes from time to time.
Have you taken care of him?
Don't worry, we'll take care of him, along with that journalist.
Never betray my trust again.
Of course not.
I-I did everything like y-you told me to!
Give me my passport!
Good, this won't leave a trail.
They've got amazing mobility...!
Major Kaku, have you received orders from HQ?
Yes, we're ready for it.
All right. Here's the proposed strategy.
While the unmanned units are drawing enemy fire,
you're to retreat back to the communication base station.
Roger that. I'm partially transferring my command!
Transfer of command confirmed. Executing the mission!
What...? Their movements are completely different!
Apologies for the wait!
Thanks for coming. Deploy to the left flank.
Roger that! They've got the rest...
Three hundred meters remaining!
Two hundred!
One hundred!
I'm gonna destroy the base station and everything with it!
Zero!
Targets acquired! We're locked on to all enemy units!
Engage!
What?!
Its power and range are unparalleled!
Even though we've lost some mobility...
...no ammo or laser can penetrate this shield!
Such firepower...
We've destroyed half of the enemy force.
That's plenty. Let's move on to search and destroy!
Let's go!
What is that thing...? It isn't just a long-range sniper?!
All right! Follow the original AMAIM's lead!
The North American military has retreated.
We owe our victory to you all.
Thank you for helping.
We were able to do a lot more damage than anticipated.
Hopefully, they'll stay quiet for a while.
Damn terrorists...!
How rude of you to not knock.
I apologize, but there's been a change in our situation.
There was a battle on the Asian border on the west side of the main island.
The original AMAIM sniper's arrival resulted in our catastrophic defeat.
You two will never be released from here now.
Why not?!
We've put a blot on the all-mighty North American military's record.
It shows that the NJCO's force
is more than capable of taking on the NAC.
No longer over-optimistic, perhaps we're hostages against the NJCO.
Maybe even to use us as scapegoats for the shooting incident?
You're free to speculate.
What's this?
It's a fake security card for the hotel.
Isn't this a terrorist's go-to trick?
Unfortunately, it's only good for an hour.
You want us to escape?
I gave the same cards to your assistants as well.
I don't know what your end game is, but I won't be played with.
Just so you know, the AI we have is quite smart.
It can delete any evidence that could work against us.
Like the fact that I'm here.
Whether you escape or not is up to you. Now, if you'll excuse me.
If it's only good for an hour,
we'll likely be detained if we wait around.
I'm going. I don't plan on being imprisoned for a crime I didn't commit.
I can clear my name later.
Exactly! As long as you're alive, you can do anything!
Are you ready to do the same?
Yes!
I see... So they've escaped. Understood.
Jeez, we're in deep trouble now.
We're back to being fugitives again...
- "Again"? - U-Uh, never mind!
The North American military are hunting you down.
We're sending reinforcements, but...
They won't let us escape that easily.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E22 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

It looks like they haven't cast a net this far.
Your escape's all over the news, though.
"Sudden disappearance of the NJCO delegation."
The consensus in the NAC is that we were behind the sniper incident.
It's the devil's proof, trying to prove that you didn't do what you didn't do.
We're at a disadvantage.
What happened to the assistants?
They'll head to the NJCO separately.
If we travel together, we'll be a bigger group, attracting unwanted attention.
They're professionals. They'll be fine.
We don't have a lot of time to waste, either.
We should get moving. We'll find a vehicle and supplies on the way.
Let's go.
"Our delegates' actions are currently limited,
making it very difficult to secure their freedom and prove their innocence.
Therefore, for their rights and safety, we urged them to return home."
How does that sound for public announcement?
I think that's fine. We'll take it from here.
Gai, what's the status on Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy and Amou?
They're on the move around this area.
Since I'm physically located here,
all I can do is communicate with them.
They're moving carefully, trying to stay under the radar.
Naturally, the North American military will send pursuit groups.
We can't just sit on our hands, either.
However, if we move in large groups, we'll get in each other's way.
Masaki, head an advance team and meet up with the Lieutenant Colonel.
Take whoever you need.
Yes, sir!
I'll accompany you. I'm Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy's second-in-command.
All right. This mission requires us to be swift and discreet.
Once the advance team joins up with them,
the backup team will hold off any pursuers.
Lieutenant Colonel and Amou's safety is top priority.
Kumai, you head the backup team.
Sir!
Which means we'll be in the backup team?
Yes. We're counting on you, Shion, Nayuta.
- Yes, sir! - We're on it!
I hope it was all right for me to give out the marching orders.
Of course. We're just supporters.
It'd be pointless if you don't take the initiative in NJCO matters.
All right, everyone, get ready quickly.
Yes, sir!
You want us to go?
Yes. The first pursuit group is already getting ready for deployment.
You'll be part of the second pursuit group,
working together with the first to go after the fugitives.
However, due to the recent battle with the Eurasian military,
my unit is currently getting a complete overhaul.
I cannot deploy.
You'll be given two platoons of unmanned AMAIMs and a command vehicle to use.
Understood.
Anyway, I wonder how they escaped?
You think there's a traitor among us? Anyone come to mind?
No, nobody.
However, doesn't this give us a valid reason to invade New Japan?
Of course. We're already working on that as well.
I'll inform you when the time comes.
Yes, sir!
You heard him.
We'll use Capricorn and Ghost to calculate their anticipated route.
Go gather intel for us and report back with what you find.
You have your own ways, don't you?
That's fine, but what will you do with them?
Are you really going to capture them?
As long as we have their location, we can use them in any way we want,
at our own convenience.
I only wish to serve my father.
How much time do you need?
Three hours should be enough for my first report.
Use channel A37.
Perhaps his loyalty towards his father is stronger than I thought.
That makes him easier to manipulate.
Well, I suppose it's time to participate in this economic activity called war.
Mr. Alexei! Is this enough?
Ah, not too bad.
You're getting good at this.
This is my second time on the run.
All right, wait there while I clean this fawn.
Not bad yourself!
All thanks to my survival training when I joined the military.
I actually like to do these sorts of things.
Good thing I borrowed a knife and seasonings from a vacation house on the way.
Can you start the fire?
Try to use dry wood to avoid too much smoke.
R-Right!
Why are you letting him take charge?!
Because...
I heard about various companies in Europe and Africa
being involved in unfortunate accidents or incidents.
Along with the rumors that the NAC was behind it.
Are you saying Captain Brad Watt was pulling the strings?
I have no proof, but based on various circumstances, yes.
He worked with German and obtained Ghost.
Brenson Corp and TRYVECTA were attacked.
If he attacked those children to monopolize the technology...
I'll never forgive him.
I see, that's why you were so angry back there.
They say never judge a book by its cover, but his tactics are nefarious.
And if that's the case, we can't afford to take our time.
He's the one that let us go.
Amou!
Search the area and report the current status to the main unit!
How'd you know?
Cell towers can be used as radars if you know what to do.
I infiltrated the base station and... Well, I'll spare you the details.
We're still ahead of them, but they're closer to us than I thought.
Let's hurry. It'll be a race against time to get to the rendezvous point.
Right!
These are units seized from the NAC and transported units from Eurasia.
We also have combat vehicles and the necessary weaponries.
This is great.
He's hesitant about this whole "yesterday's enemy is today's friend" situation.
I get it.
Politics aren't my thing.
It's a lot easier for me to be out there in the frontlines.
I don't even want to be a pivotal member of the New Japan government.
I want to be one of the foundation stones.
I believe we can pave the way for the future if we can build on top of it.
In the military, the success of a mission relies on building a consensus.
People who know their strengths and weaknesses are strong.
It seems we chose the right partner to found the NJCO.
I'm honored.
Captain Miller,
four platoons of unmanned AMAIM reinforcements have arrived.
What about the right of command?
It's already been transferred to us, with the codes already entered.
Good. Allocate the platoons from team three to six.
If they're on the move, they'll leave tracks.
We can calculate their location based on their speed and direction.
Surround them. We're going to hunt them down.
What should we do with Captain Watt's troops?
He's just a reserve force. Ignore him for now.
He's making his move.
Eight platoons for a couple of escapees seems a bit of an overkill.
What do you think Captain Miller will do?
Well, if I were him, I'd flush the enemy out first.
Fire!
Th-They're firing at us!
It's just to intimidate us! Keep moving, they're not actually trying to hit us!
But things are slowly going to get worse...
That's tear gas! Be careful!
Okay!
Go left!
We've been led this way. Where's Gai?
I'm not getting any connection anymore...
We're in NAC territory. They know the area better than us.
Run!
Target acquired!
This was too easy, but it is our mission. Let's capture them.
Amou! Get down!
Are you all right?
Yes!
I'm sorry for the wait, Lieutenant Colonel.
You never fail me.
Using the advance team's relay, Gai's successfully reconnected with Amou.
However, they're now engaged with the North American military.
They won't last long. You need to get there now.
Roger that.
We'll provide data analysis and strategic plans to support Masaki and his team.
So will I. I may not be there, but I can help.
I can at least do that much.
Thanks.
This is frustrating, not being there with them.
You went into the battle by yourself last time.
Jogan still needs work. And besides, we're too far away.
Right now, we just have to wait.
What's the plan? You basically jumped into the enemy encirclement.
We'll break through from one point!
Captain Kumai and his backup team will arrive from the route we came from!
We need to join them!
That's our only way.
The enemy's firing! Your six o'clock, R23, L15!
Got it!
For such a small group, they're impressive.
However, the encirclement is nearly complete.
The enemy's advancing faster than expected!
They must've changed their leg settings.
Enemy approaching from R03!
From our back, too!
Also from the left flank and front!
Dammit, they've completely got us surrounded!
Looks like checkmate.
This is the perfect scene for a true hero to swoop in to the rescue!
How did it get up that high?!
Anti-AMAIM guided missiles, ready. All enemy units are within range!
Open the hatch!
Fire!
Missiles?! Intercept them!
The main wing is longer.
Is that a backup battery on its back, or...?
Multiple guided missiles, opening the hatch now!
Fire!
Its blade is sharp.
Equipment we've never seen before, and a different exterior...
It's gone through an upgrade.
This is a completely new naginata!
Amou, we sent you the map data! Mr. Kumai and his team are there!
We've brought Kenbu, too!
Got it!
But not my AMAIM?
You're the Federation of Great Eurasia's military representative for the NJCO!
Please behave accordingly!
I know, I was just saying.
Platoon three and four were taken down...!
With the original AMAIM joining the battle,
there's a hole in the encirclement.
What's your next move, Captain Miller?
Continue attacking!
Amou, Kenbu's in the vehicle behind us!
I'll also join the fight in an AMAIM!
Understood!
- Captain! - I know.
I'll advance our troops.
Backup troops from the south side... Be careful, my princess!
Yup!
Retreat the combat vehicle currently deployed!
Transport Lieutenant Colonel to safety is top priority!
Dahlia!
An ambush?!
First Lieutenant Lvov, get back!
Lieutenant Masaki?!
Losing a leg won't stop me!
Masaki, get out of there now!
Roger that, I'm on it—
What?
Masaki...
One enemy unit down.
The first pursuit group and the reinforcements
are continuing their attacks.
It's risky.
How do you mean?
Look. The vehicle with the fugitives is leaving the front lines.
They're changing tactics.
If he takes this change lightly...
Amou...
I know. I'm fine.
I know...!
My princess, can you continue?
Yes...
Yes, I can.
Shion, Amou, don't get too far ahead!
If we can push them back just a little, that's enough!
- Yes, sir! - Roger that!
The platoon on the left flank has been destroyed!
Captain Miller. I advise you to stop all combat and retreat.
We don't have enough forces to pursue them.
Additionally, original AMAIMs are highly experienced in fighting large numbers.
I've come to the same decision myself.
All units, fall back. Initiate plan B3!
Roger that.
I'm not picking up any enemy units. Looks like they've retreated.
You're safe now.
Mr. Masaki's KIA?!
There's no mistake...
Dammit!
I apologize.
To save my second-in-command, your comrade—
Nothing for you to be sorry for, Lieutenant Colonel.
We're always prepared to die.
And that's how wars go.
I'm sorry...
Kumai, how're Amou and Shion doing?
They're keeping it together, but they do seem a little despondent...
There may still be enemies around.
Tell them to stay alert and come home safely.
Understood.
I know this is war, but...
So you've failed.
I'm sorry, sir.
It's fine. What's important is that they reacted with hostile actions.
Now we have a valid excuse to invade the Hokuriku region.
Yes, we'll send an armada for our next mission.
You and your troops will also be deployed.
Now, I can take the completed Brady Phantom and fight to my heart's content.
We can finally go to New Japan.
Yeah.
Okay, Gashin, get in!
Amou...
How're Amou and the others holding up?
They're feeling down...
I don't blame them. It's even impacting me.
Even if war and death go hand in hand...
The North American military is making their move.
They're coming for us... I just know it!
We know what we have to do.

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E23 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

What did you think, Second Lieutenant Louis?
Did the captain act suspiciously during the op?
No, not really...
He seemed to be a little more on the defensive, but...
Just don't get ahead of yourself too much.
Pike Davis' whereabouts are still unknown, as well.
You must be patient.
Yes, sir.
In the wake of Congressman Roy Walker's assassination attempt,
the NAC will be launching a large-scale attack on the Hokuriku region.
So far, so good for Deputy Commander Spears and Captain Watt, I suppose.
I shall be very busy.
Rats?
It seems I have a trespasser looking into my location.
We're glad you're safe, Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy.
You too, Amou.
Unfortunately, we cannot celebrate just yet...
Misuzu and Gashin have just arrived, as well.
Maki Misuzu and Tezuka Gashin, reporting for duty.
May I have a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy?
Of course.
You, too, Misuzu.
Yes, sir.
You two must be tired. Get some rest.
Yes, sir.
Hey, give me a hand.
No, not that one.
- Hey, thanks. - Be careful.
Everyone's carrying on like usual.
Of course, they are. We don't know when the North American military will attack.
I'm sure they're keeping their emotions bottled up...
Just like I am.
You know, back there, I couldn't cry.
Don't get me wrong. I was shocked, just like that time with you, Amou.
But there was a part of me that was calm.
My thoughts were running all over the place,
but it was like another part of me was watching
and thinking "I have to protect them. I have to defeat the enemies."
I pushed Mr. Masaki's death to the corner of my mind...
How could I?!
Shion...
Mr. Masaki would've kicked our butts if we lost it during battle.
He would've said, "Now's not the time! Fight back!"
We can grieve after the dust settles.
So you did the right thing.
With this incident, the NAC has an excuse to fight us now.
I have no doubt they'll launch a large-scale attack on us next time.
I agree.
We'll request reinforcements.
As much as I hate to play into the enemy's hands...
Yes...
They'll likely deploy a unit with Ghost installed,
as well as units with tactical AIs based off of Ghost.
AMAIM with Ghost will be a pain.
That AMAIM, huh?
You know it?
Yes... I've fought it before.
I've asked Misuzu to work on AI improvements to level the playing field.
I'll send you the combat data from my battle.
Thank you!
Of course. We're on the same team, fighting the same threat.
Thank you for coming all the way down here, Commander in Chief Freeman.
It wasn't that long of a flight.
Anyway, I reviewed the data of the AMAIM with Ghost you had installed.
Not bad.
The development of the new tactical AI is coming along as well.
I look forward to its completion.
Yes... You'll be seeing them soon.
Captain.
U-Um, we can do that...
No, I want to do it. Let me do it.
I understand. I'll leave you to it then.
Is that Masaki's belongings?
If it's all right, could you add this, too?
I heard it was his favorite...
Sweet olives...?
They're not in season... It must've been hard to find.
Pike Davis?
Wh-Who are you people?!
Hey, bring the cables over here!
Chief's got her hands full with AI development!
That means we have to step up and do a thorough job!
Right!
Don't worry! We'll ask Chief to check our work if we're unsure!
He just ruined the moment...
Hello, this is Maki.
I'm sorry to bother you, but do you have a moment?
You want ARES' help?
I was hoping they'd join us in the upcoming battle.
Where are they now?
Our contract expired a while ago, so I'm not sure...
What? Right now?
I'm sorry. There's somewhere I have to be.
Of course, I'll pay the fee for breaking the contract...
That's fine, but where are you going?
I need to set some things right.
I see. All right, then.
Would you be able to provide me with their contact info so I can contact them?
Yes, I'll send it to you via email later.
Thank you.
We're in position!
Roger that. Everyone, prepare for combat.
Locks deactivated. Are we sure he's in there?
We've checked all the cameras. He hasn't moved in the last six hours.
Move in!
Clear!
Clear!
It's so easy to control security camera feeds.
Surely you must know that?
Captain.
An explosion?
According to the Intelligence Agency, we don't know who owned that room.
The bomb type suggests the work of a professional.
What's he got himself into?
Where is he now?
Unknown. Since none of the bodies match his description,
we believe he escaped.
I'm with the Public Safety Department.
We're going after Brad Watt.
He's a cunning man.
We don't want to spook him, so you need to stop snooping around.
One wrong move, and we'll charge you as well.
You've been warned.
Have you heard that the Commander in Chief has arrived?
This is really happening.
We're going to be busy. Let's get ready.
I trust you've read through the files?
Primary witnesses to Congressman Roy Walker's sniper incident have escaped,
exchanging fire with our pursuit group.
These terrorists claiming to be New Japan
have occupied the Hokuriku region, gathering forces there.
We cannot allow this.
The Confederation has given us the green light.
We will launch a large-scale attack to liberate the Hokuriku region.
Here in Yokosuka harbor, a plethora of AMAIMs and combat vehicles are being sent
from the North Pacific North American military base to join this military operation.
The South Pacific and the Indian Ocean fleets
are also deploying their troops.
Commander in Chief Freeman is—
This is it.
So far, things are going as expected.
The second batch of troops from our surface fleet will be here in three hours.
Same goes for us.
Troops are in position near the northeastern border
to open a supply route.
We're quickly arranging the troops that have arrived.
We should be done by 1800.
I never imagined a day like this would come.
Me either.
We, the New Japan military—
That's what I'd like to call ourselves, if that's okay?
I have no objection.
No issues here.
We, the New Japan military, are just a ragtag team.
At least, that's how the North American military sees us.
Let's prove them wrong.
Are they still inside the simulation?
Just let them be.
They're risking their lives a lot more than we are.
Not bad.
Yeah, but I still want to improve a little more.
You gain experience by practicing more, thereby improving your accuracy.
In live combat, there'll always be uncertainties, but we've got you covered.
All the more reason for us to improve. Let's keep at it!
There's no guarantee our hard work will pay off,
but that's no excuse to not try.
Yup, you're right.
You know the saying, "do your best and leave the rest to fate."
That's it!
Hear me out.
We may not be able to control fate, but we can try improving our luck!
Ooh, sweet dumplings!
Octopus balls!
They all look so delicious!
Well, this got her spirit up.
Yeah.
Ohh.
So this is the torii gate. This is my first time getting to actually see one.
It smells like a shrine.
This is kind of comforting.
Yeah.
Hey, look, look! It's me!
Hmm... You don't really look like them.
Yes, I do! I look exactly like them!
I thought you were a racoon.
- Huh?! - What?!
Now, now...
Hey, my fortune is "great blessing."
That's great! Way to go, my princess!
I got "great blessing," too.
Things are looking good.
Mine is "small blessing." Not bad but not that good...
What are you talking about? It just means things are gonna look up!
How's it going, Charlie?
I've incorporated all the combat data.
It's going through it right now.
I've completely deleted all of Ghost's backup, as requested.
The only copy is installed on that unit.
Yes, thank you.
This is Brad.
This is Raymond. We have the dates for our next mission.
I see.
We have intel that the NAC is assembling troops at their base near Hokuriku.
By dawn tomorrow, they'll be ready to deploy.
Tomorrow, huh?
According to our PFP computer, Murakumo, our odds of winning are 45%.
It's far lower than expected, and we're at a disadvantage.
This is the trend over time.
Our odds of winning decreases as the time goes by.
They have slightly more resources than us,
but it isn't only because of a difference in numbers.
It also means their tactical AI units shouldn't be underestimated.
However, this is just a forecast.
That's right. It's up to us commanders to change that.
How's the tactical AI situation on our side looking?
Misuzu has completed the early version of it,
and has started the installation process.
She said she'll collect all data from past and present combat,
giving it another update.
Understood.
How does the saying go? "Different approach, excellent method,
the result crowns the work"?
I'm impressed, although the saying goes a little different.
Is that so? Well, no matter.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day.
We're finally doing this tomorrow.
Yup.
What do you wanna do after we beat the North American army and come back?
Huh? Hmm... I can't think of anything.
What about you, Gai?
First, I gotta have that drink with Alexei.
I'm an AI of my word!
I'll study up on MR technology.
I wanna travel, too! Travel all over Japan, no, the world!
We promised, remember?
Our great adventure.
Yup!
But, Gai, you can see the world digitally.
Oh, you just don't get it!
The point is that we go together!
Right. Then, where do you want to go to the most?
Let's see... First, the North Pole.
That's far.
It'll be a piece of cake! Just leave it to me!
Seriously?
Yeah!
This is the most recent tactical AI based off of Ghost.
These units are going to be completely different.
I'm being transferred? Now?
"As of today, you are being transferred to an independent force"?
Why? Now, of all times?
Brave and loyal soldiers of the North American military.
The time has come for a decisive battle.
We, the Confederation, have been fighting hard to protect the autonomy of Japan,
and we must protect it again from other nations and terrorists!
First of all, I'd like to extend my gratitude to everyone here today.
Because of you, we have gotten this close to realizing our vision of New Japan.
This battle marks our first obstacle in founding New Japan.
The NJCO's blatant lie of peace and their use of violence are,
without doubt, acts of aggression that disrupt world peace.
But we can... no, we're the only ones who can stop them.
Each one of you has the strength.
However, we're currently weak.
We must ask for your help.
Yesterday, we were pointing our guns at each other.
But today, we are one army.
We are comrades who have each other's backs.
In Japan, we call this "enishi," a destined encounter.
Become heroes. Prove to them that justice is on our side!
We're counting on you to give it your all!
Today, we stand here, side by side.
Who do you see next to you?
I hope for this friendship to last forever,
for the day when we can smile from the bottom of our hearts, together.
Godspeed.
It's finally starting...
Are you nervous, Amou?
Yeah, I am. My hands are shaking.
Don't worry, I'll do my best to support you!
Finally, our time has come, Ghost!
Let's show them what we can do on the battlefield!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E24 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

Alpha block, all units in position.
Beta block, all units in position.
We've received similar reports from the other squads.
We're ready for combat!
Commander...
Mm.
All Asian military troops are in position.
Same goes for the Oceanian military.
Eurasian military, in position.
We're ready.
Fire!
Open fire!
It's started.
Yeah...
Miller squad, advancing forward!
Louis squad, advancing forward!
The enemy's closing in...
Let's deal with the advance team first.
Light it up.
Those who manage to get past the newly-programmed Subbota troops
will be destroyed by me and my Rytsar Demon!
If now's not the time to gain fame, I don't know when is!
Wilson squad, advancing forward!
As is Byrne squad!
All squads, initiate deployment.
Group 1 is in enemy contact on the borderline.
They're engaging.
This is it.
A battle of this magnitude has been unheard of in recent years.
How will the tide of the battle turn?
What's this?!
Their movements are different from other Asian military units!
Hmm. Seems our units have learned each other's quirks.
It also has a variety of tactical patterns programmed,
making it possible to flexibly respond based on the situation in battle.
I expect nothing less from the brilliant woman who created the lion-dog AIs.
Of course, with our incomplete state, they have the advantage...
But it's up to the commanders to overturn that disadvantage!
Go, go! Offense is the best form of defense!
Eurasian attack team 1 has defeated the enemy units.
Oceanian advance teams 4 and 6 have broken through the enemy lines.
Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy is remarkable.
Our troops are also doing well, but...
Right...
Looking at the situation overall,
the front lines are slowly being pushed back.
But a small group is achieving astonishing results...
You mean Yatagarasu's three MAILeS units?
Right.
All units, advance forward! Push back the enemy lines!
How are the unmanned units, Kei?
They're good. They move exactly the way I tell them to.
Their mobility has improved as well.
I can't complain about their strength, either.
That's good...
Can't sleep?
No, I'm just thinking...
If we win tomorrow's battle,
we can get Japan back, even if it's just a part.
My dad's dream will come true.
I'd tell you not to put too much pressure on yourself, but that'd be impossible.
I understand.
We'll take your condition into account and provide support for you.
Thanks.
Enemy fire concentrating on your right, SW212!
Roger that. Let's provide backup.
That was perfect, my princess!
Thanks, but it's only possible because of you and these guys.
They are your loyal servants.
Servants...?
Enemy squads on our lower right rear, 37, 30!
Targets acquired on all units!
Okay!
Good job, Amou. We mostly wiped out the enemies around this area!
That movement...
Yeah, I figured it'd show up.
Alerts are going off in my systems!
There's no mistake. That unit has Ghost installed.
Gashin! Ghost is here!
It's where Amou is, my princess!
Got it!
During the mission, we'll each lead unmanned units
and fight at our designated location.
That's the most efficient way to fight a large-scale battle.
But that changes once Ghost shows up.
If we don't deal with it, it'll do major damage against us.
Thus, lowering our chances of winning.
So the three of us will engage Ghost together.
Udou, Hou, and the others have signed off on this plan.
Get to point 366, 384!
Got it!
We've seen your aerial maneuvers multiple times!
You're not getting past us to go help him!
I have no intentions of helping the captain,
but it's a soldier's duty to see the mission through...!
Kenbu is engaging in battle with an AMAIM with Ghost likely installed.
Tezuka squad and Shishibe squad are unable to provide backup.
Front lines are still being pushed back!
As expected, they brought Ghost in.
I need to stop it, no matter what...!
It seems we have all the players in place.
My efforts to get this stage ready are finally paying off.
A single missile will cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
Honestly... It's like a circus show put on by idiots.
Would you like to join me and watch?
Although, I don't remember inviting you, Mr. Dialo.
Such an outdated gun model...
Keep your guard up, Amou.
I know.
Why is it moving like that?! Is it an unmanned unit?!
Watch out!
Gai?!
Can you hear me, Shiiba Amou?
This voice...
Ghost managed to hack into our communication line...!
Our fight has just started.
Now, show me the time of my life.
The time of your life?!
Quit fooling around! I'm cutting the communication!
Wait!
Is this Captain Brad Watt piloting that unit?
That's right.
You obtained Ghost by teaming up with German?
That's right.
Did you also order the attack on TRYVECTA's backup facility?
So what if I did?
Amou! Your pulse and blood pressure are increasing!
Calm down!
I'm going to take you down.
You're going to pay for your sins!
Bring it on.
The enemy has an endless supply of reinforcements.
Don't rush and don't get caught off guard.
Yup, I'm good.
After all, I have a promise to keep.
I think you've already heard about it,
but there's likely going to be a battle tomorrow. I'll take part in it.
We're going to win this.
We'll get Japan back, and bring back Himeno ware.
Hello?
Grandpa?
Shion...
Yes.
Just... Just come back safely...
Okay...
I'm going to make it back and see Grandpa and everyone.
I want to live with them again.
Let's do this!
All shots hit their marks!
Release the empty missile containers!
On it!
- We did it! - In front of you!
We're not gonna fall for the same attack!
The enemy troops have entered the set location!
W27, ready to fire!
Roger that! Let's wipe them out with this!
Heavy armor units, advance forward!
Don't aim for the actual AMAIM,
but its surrounding and the slope under it!
Its equipment isn't designed for mobility at all.
If it loses its footing, we can neutralize it!
Get rid of the Gatling gun! We're going to fall all the way down!
Got it!
It's so powerful...
It turned off its limiters again...
Not according to the detection data.
Cutting off the limiters is a double-edged sword.
It gives you explosive power, but your energy depletes quicker.
It's not fit for a large-scale battle like this one!
Then, how?!
I think the pilot's set the safety mechanisms down to the bare minimum.
Things like shock absorber and counter cushion...
And he's re-allocating everything to computer resources and control output!
But that means the pilot inside will...!
He's either not afraid to die, or a maniac.
Either way, he won't make it through this unharmed!
Think they figured it out by now?
Delivering one attack drains me physically and mentally.
But I'm still going to ride this AMAIM.
I'm going to fight in this AMAIM!
I've been waiting for this moment!
Putting my life on the line!
Gai!
D-Don't worry...
Just a little power surge on the unit...
Gai, turn off the safety mechanism for the cockpit.
What?!
This is the only way!
Don't be stupid!
It's not even designed to be turned off! It can't be done!
But then what?!
I'm not gonna go through what I did at the Oki Islands!
At the time, I was willing to die with you.
But when I found out that you were alive...
...I was happy.
That's why...
That's why I'm going to protect you, no matter what!
Gai...
Jogan and Reiki are both unable to pull themselves away from the enemy squads!
Kenbu is still fighting Ghost, accumulating heavy damage!
Send in nearby troops as backup!
We can't! All squads are struggling to hold on as is!
I never thought things would get this hairy without the MAILeS.
Ms. Misuzu is doing her best to send out version updates, but...
Stand strong! This is a critical moment!
If they break through the front lines, there'll be no stopping them!
I'm not done, I can still fight—
The Agano River defense line has been breached.
Second Lieutenant Byrne, can you hear me?!
Yes, I can!
The unmanned units in my squad have all been destroyed!
Let's retreat! We'll join the rear echelon troops!
Copy that. Headed to the rendezvous point—
Second Lieutenant Byrne?!
Port defense units are wiped out!
The enemy has taken over the port!
We lost contact with Oceanian squad 4, 6, and the advance team!
Enemy forces have broken through the front line!
The North American military has cut off our Tohoku and Eurasia supply lines.
Those were two major supply lines...
This is bad. Supplies are still being transported by sea, but it won't be quick.
Kenbu's still fighting and taking on significantly more damage!
Amou, to your left!
Dammit!
A pilot is in there!
He's ignoring the damage to himself!
He's willing to pay the price to win the war.
We may have incurred more damage to our AMAIM,
but pilot-to-pilot, he's more exhausted than us!
Which means the situation itself is even!
Every move I make, I feel like my bones are screaming and I'm being gutted...
But I'm not done... Not yet!
For every hit I get in, he hits back two or three times!
That was close! I'm going again!
Go for it!
Huh?
Gai? Gai?!
Gai!
Gai, I'm where I am today thanks to you.
You were always by my side, and I'm grateful. You helped me so much.
So let's fight till the end, with just me, Kenbu, and you, Gai!

▶ [hchcsen] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline S01E25 [CR Web-DL 1080p AVC Opus]

I guess that's it for you.
Gashin!
My princess!
How disappointing.
Phew, just in the nick of time.
I'm glad we weren't too late.
Kei! Nayuta!
Gashin and Shion sent us.
"Go help those two out," they said.
Of course, we also have to support our partners,
so we can't give you our full attention,
but we can still allocate a lot of resources to this fight.
It'd be more than enough to back Gai up, who's completely exhausted.
I was just taking a nap!
Keep telling yourself that.
You can't be too tired if you can back talk.
Thanks.
Okay, let's work together to take him down!
Yeah!
The advance guards are defeated! They're breaking through!
We've deployed unmanned reinforcement units.
I'm transferring the command to you now.
Good timing, Dahlia.
This is exactly why you're my second-in-command.
Thank you.
Watch out for the left flank.
The enemy units should be making contact soon.
Nothing gets past him...
Deploy units to the left flank and engage!
I never thought assessing the situation would take me this long without Kei.
It proves just how dependent I was!
But we're all in the same boat, so no complaining!
All frontlines are still being pushed back.
Oceanian teams 5 and 8 have fallen back.
Asian defense team 2 is requesting support!
Our number of units deployed are down almost 15%.
You'll need to make a decision, with the worst-case scenario in mind.
Do we keep going, or...?
I've pushed out so many upgrades, but I still can't keep up with them.
Those Tactical AIs based off of Ghost...
They're constantly outperforming our calculations... How can we...?
Ghost?
They have the advantage in terms of speed and power!
The damage to the pilot is less than my own.
And for some reason, their reaction speed has increased!
Which means the conditions are the same!
That's what I'm talking about!
Northeast teams 4 and 7 have defeated the enemy troops.
Teams 16 through 18 have started advancing forward.
Brad Watt's unit is engaging the original hand-to-hand combat type AMAIM.
- Looking good. - Sir.
But your son, Captain Brad Watt, seems to be fooling around a little bit.
Why would he only take on the original AMAIM with such a high-performing unit?
Because it's the original AMAIM.
That unit is the only thing that can take it on.
Hence the unit development and AI research.
You have a point. I can't complain since you have the results to show for it.
It seems the next-gen unit development will go according to your proposal.
We've already started preparations.
It looks like Brad's having a tough time.
No matter. He seemed to be snooping around my business.
If this goes on, they'll likely take each other down.
If I can silence Brad while also defeating the original AMAIM,
the tide will turn towards us in a big way.
And even if we lose, he'll take the blame.
I have nothing to lose.
You're pretty persistent, aren't you?
Chasing me all the way here.
I made a promise to my team in front of their graves!
That I'll make sure you pay for your sins!
The foreign special forces unit is nothing more than a ragtag team, Captain Dialo.
If you, our lieutenant, didn't sell us out, they'd still be alive!
Not only did you sell intel to the enemy,
but you also stole our supplies and made a profit off of it!
That's how you got to where you are now!
Soldiers and mercenaries make money by putting their lives on the line.
That's why I exchanged their lives for money. What's so wrong with that?
I'll never forgive you...!
Then, let's cut the chitchat and get on with it.
German!
You're so easy to rile up...
That's what makes you easy to manipulate.
People like you deserve to be on the ground like this
and die pathetically.
Chief! Chief!
Hey, Chief! We got the combat data from recovered units and...
I'm such an idiot!
I was too focused on trying to solve the problem, but...
If they've based their AIs off of Ghost, we can follow suit!
Chief...
With a tactical AI based off of their program...
Please work!
The unmanned units' behavior has changed!
This is...
An I-LeS based tactical AI...
I was hoping to see that lion dog, but I suppose that's asking too much.
But the performance is excellent!
Let's go! It's our turn now!
Eurasia attack team 1 has defeated the enemy troops!
Friendly units are taking less hits!
Various areas are pushing back the frontlines!
What's going on?
It seems your friends are making a comeback.
Man, they really are stubborn. Is it worth all this trouble?
Of course it is!
Why is that?
So we can get Japan back!
Why else?!
Is this channel open?
A place where we can live safely as Japanese people without being afraid...
That's what we're fighting for!
That's just greed!
We all have it.
Some want money, some want happiness.
And this AMAIM is what I want!
There are those who seek power,
those who seek wealth...
But I seek violence!
Look around you!
The unmanned units are the stars of this show, mercilessly taking lives.
They feel no pain!
To protect our soldiers' lives, they shoot at the enemy from a safe distance.
It's an ugly world!
That's why I'm going to destroy it, using this AMAIM!
This war will put on a good show!
That's the reason why you took Ghost?! Attacked TRYVECTA?!
I'll be number one, and for that, I don't care if Japan, or the world collapses!
What in the world is he yapping about on-air?
I'd ask what your last words are, but my hearing's shot from just now.
Not that there's a need to hear it.
When we soldiers die, we just become body counts in war.
How could you say that...?
It's the same for the population, birth rates, and death rates!
They're just numbers!
The will of an individual doesn't matter!
You're wrong! I changed when I met Gai!
Amou...
We went to different places,
and met different people.
Warm people, kind people, each one of them living their lives.
I have comrades, I made friends, and it made me happy.
Amou...
I just want everyone to be happy!
Amou...
Isn't it the same for you guys?!
Gai was always by my side.
When I was happy...
...and when I was sad!
Gai was happy with me and suffered through the pain with me.
Gai comforted me so many times!
We aren't just numbers!
Gai was right there by my side!
But that's how the world is!
But then...
Then the AIs are more human than we are!
Stop this nonsense from airing, now!
I'm sorry to bother you, Deputy Commander Spears.
I'm with the Public Safety Department.
Energy levels are low, output's down by 35%, rerouting now.
The armor's reaching its limit, too! We can maybe take one more hit.
Let's do our special move, Gai!
We'll put everything we've got into this attack.
And it only accepts audio input.
Jeez, twist my arm, why don't you?
Let's do it, Amou!
Yeah!
Go!
Bardiche Breaker!
Looks like this is it.
Your technology is too far advanced, Ghost.
Your time ends here, with me.
I'm gonna take you down with me. I don't wanna hear you complain.
We did it... We did it, Gai!
Gai...?
Gai?!
This is a joke, right?
Gai...
No...
Gai...
Gai!
It's only been a week since the battle, and life is back to normal already.
That's just how things work. Look.
The NAC and NJCO have started their peace negotiations.
They still need to iron out the details, but...
After this ordeal, Commander in Chief Edgar Freeman has resigned.
With all that's happened, I don't think there was any other way.
Anyway, I'm surprised you accepted.
The supervisory position?
I thought you wanted to return to your home country.
I've grown attached to the NJCO.
Besides, this may come as a surprise, but I love Japanese saké and shochu.
Second Lieutenant...
So this was your driving motivation.
Deputy Commander Spears' breach of trust and misuse of military funds.
The "other arrested party" mentioned in this article is German, isn't it?
I only became aware of my father's wrongdoing some time ago.
I was torn about what to do...
But I couldn't let him get away with it, because we're family.
I started working with the Public Safety Department early on.
They gave me the intel about Congressman Roy Walker and Pike Davis.
That's why you threatened them.
I had a hunch there was going to be an assassination attempt
in order to force the congressmen into submission.
A sniper would take the shot, but it wouldn't be a kill-shot.
I used the war he wanted to start against him
to drive him into a corner.
He's bound to make a mistake during a large-scale mission like that.
I know I'm terrible... I could've stopped the whole thing.
The Deputy Commander had already completed his behind-the-scenes work.
You couldn't have stopped him alone.
Still, there were casualties.
That's why you wanted to die with Ghost?
Why did you take me off your team?
I wasn't sure what the charges would be,
and I didn't want to get you involved.
Ray and Charlie knew what they were getting themselves into.
Stop, you're gonna pop my stitches out.
I'm part of the team!
You should trust me a little more.
I'm sorry...
Engineer Ory explained that
you're alive because the ejection mechanism was triggered before the explosion.
Based on the combat data they managed to retrieve,
it looks like it was Ghost that activated it.
I see.
I'm glad you're alive.
Thank you, for not killing German.
Now we can get all our answers.
I don't think he's going to talk willfully.
There was this man...
His parents went to war zones.
They were good doctors that treated everyone,
regardless of their race or origin.
But one day, they were killed
by a soldier they had treated just a few days ago, for treating an enemy soldier.
Ever since then, he loathed soldiers and mercenaries,
for killing his parents.
Is that...?
What will you do now?
The NJCO has hired TRYVECTA as an AI development organization,
so I'm thinking about settling down here.
What about you, Mr. Dialo?
I'm going back to HQ. My field days are over.
All this action is bad for my back.
Oh, please!
Thank you.
Right back at you!
Is that for Gashin's father and Lieutenant Masaki?
Yes. I finally have good news for them.
Yeah...
We're counting on you. You're our new maintenance chief.
I won't let you down!
Besides, Ms. Misuzu is still with us as the maintenance manager!
Worst case, we can ask Ms. Misuzu to check our work!
Seriously?
I'm staying here.
Sure, we got Japan back, but only a part.
Not the entire country.
The Japanese government is still with the NAC.
We asked them to join us, but they won't give us a straight answer. Pathetic.
I'm going back to my hometown.
I'll stay on as a member of NJCO,
but I can't bring back Himeno ware soon enough.
I'll be with you wherever you go, my princess.
Thanks.
You're really going?
Yeah. I promised Gai that we'd travel together.
Misuzu said that the AI unit retrieved was damaged severely.
She was only able to recover the logic program.
It's installed in your phone.
She couldn't recover the memory data, so it's like a new born baby.
Don't worry, leave the unit repair to the professionals.
We'll help them, too!
I'm sorry that I—
Don't be sorry.
Ah, right. Thanks.
I'm going to start making new memories with Gai again.
Good morning, Amou.
G-Good morning.
Today's the day. You take care, now.
I will. Thank you.
I'll see you later.
Hey, good morning, Gai.
Ga... i?
Yup. That's your name.
I'm Shiiba Amou. Nice to meet you.
A... mo... u?

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E01 [00p].01.eng.English

All that and I still can't get through...!
Do I hear whining? You gonna quit?
Never. That thing's dangerous. We have to defeat it!
That's right, Amou! Let's do this!
Yeah!
Japan was on the brink of destruction during the mid-21st century.
Failed economic policies, the aging population combined with low birthrate...
Problem after problem pushed Japan to the verge of collapse.
To help, powerful countries and allied powers stepped in.
In the name of economic aid, medical support, and peacekeeping,
each nation deployed a vast number of people, slowly expanding their territory,
until finally, an armed conflict arose.
Later, this battle was called the Boundary War.
The nations deployed humanoid war machines called AMAIM.
Unmanned AMAIMs with tactical AIs became the main players on the battlefield,
engaging in battles all over Japan.
Japan was virtually divided up and ruled, and its people fell under outside control.
In the year 2061, this is Japan's current situation.
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Yes! Good stuff and in a decent condition, too!
We might be in luck.
Seems that way.
With this AMAIM...
I knew it!
Yes! Dibs on the sequential turbo!
Let's take all the parts we can salvage!
How's it looking over there, Shiiba? Did you find a control system board box?
Y-Yeah, I found it.
Man, we hit the jackpot.
With today's loot, I can customize this beauty even more.
I can make my motorcycle go crazy fast!
Just don't overdo it.
Yeah, yeah.
What about you, Shiiba?
You take home quite the haul each time. You've probably made loads of stuff.
Um, I just like AMAIM parts, so...
Well, everyone has their own things they enjoy.
Yup!
Yeah.
Good hunting, Shiiba!
See you later. I'll ping you again once I get a solid lead.
O-Okay. Thanks.
You little brat! How dare you touch my clothes with your filthy hands?!
You're able to live a safe life thanks to our protection!
You Japanese should stay in the corner, cowering in fear!
Please forgive us!
Okay, let's go!
"Thanks to our protection," my butt! They're just mercenaries.
You're the ones disturbing peace!
Stop it! What if they hear you?!
This area is under extraterritorial jurisdiction. You'd be killed for nothing.
Dammit, how did this happen...
I often wonder...
...if there's any point in living.
"Japanese terrorists"
"20 Japanese terrorists dead" In this day and age, just being born in Japan
In this day and age, just being born in Japan
is like starting a game with a huge handicap.
Sure, you might be able to turn your life around if you have talent or money,
but if you don't, your job options are limited.
"Video Expression of the Past and Future" "Total unemployment rate reaches an all-time high"
"Video Expression of the Past and Future" "Total unemployment rate reaches an all-time high" Your future is already set in stone.
Your future is already set in stone.
So why bother trying?
"Next class starts in: 07:28" "GDP in Japan plunges to a record low"
"Next class starts in: 07:28" "GDP in Japan plunges to a record low" What's hope? How much does it cost?
"Next class starts in: 07:28" "Agonizing Diet deliberations!" What's hope? How much does it cost?
Ugh, this is so depressing...
I met those three online because we all like machines.
I don't even know if their names or addresses are real.
What's wrong with that? You don't need more than that in a social relationship.
This is my own spot that even those three don't know about.
Not that I have much or any parts they'd want anyways.
If only I had a car...
Oh, well.
Hey, pssst!
Over here. Please, help me!
Come on! I don't have much time left!
Come over here, quickly!
Are you okay? Are you hurt? What happened?
This way! Hurry!
Huh? A box?
You finally found me!
Uh, what?
I'm Gai, an autonomous AI... Basically an AI with a consciousness.
Right...
Hey! You just thought that this was some kind of prank with a comm or something!
And now you're cursing your bad luck!
You're thinking about ignoring me and leaving!
Come on, be a pal and help me.
My battery is about to die and I need help. I'm on the verge of death.
But there's nothing I can--
Shh! Be quiet!
Someone's coming.
You there. What are you doing in a place like this?
Oh, um, I had a picnic at the creek over there, and I'm on my way home.
A picnic?
What were you doing at the edge of the road?
Nature called... Do you want to see?
Someone's scavenging for AMAIM parts around this area.
They're apparently digging up AMAIM remains from the Boundary War.
Do you know anything about that?
N-No, nothing...
I'm going to verify your ID.
Sure.
According to our intel, the culprits are a group of boys around your age.
Y-Yeah? Is that so?
Shiiba Amou. Age 16. Attends an online high school. What, you're an orphan?
Y-Yes, I lost both parents when I was little...
How do you get by?
With a scholarship and some inheritance money from my parents...
Ow!
We're going to search your backpack.
You're coming with us if we find anything suspicious!
What's with all the trash?!
I told you, I'm on my way back from a picnic!
Japanese people don't get decomposable containers, so I have to bring them back!
Um, are we done here?
Stupid brat! You shouldn't be walking around this late at night!
Told ya!
Yup. I'm surprised you could tell it was a military vehicle, though.
They sound and vibrate differently than regular ones.
They also come with human detecting sensors, so hiding wouldn't have worked.
See! It was the perfect excuse. No one would look for traces of urine.
Yeah, you really helped me.
Oh, don't mention it! I scratch your back, you scratch mine.
Right...? People help each other!
You do have a heart, don't you, Amou?
Yes!
What is this place?
I think it used to be a maintenance shop.
It's abandoned now, so I'm using it.
Like a secret hideout? It's every man's dream!
Hey, that's...!
Ahh, that hits the spot!
I couldn't figure out what would connect to that peripheral,
but if your plug fits, I guess it was an AI peripheral unit power supply.
Yup! The power transmission loss is low, and the system is pretty good, too!
That whole unit was destroyed, so the block was a total mystery.
Anyway, this is an AMAIM, isn't?
Did you build it yourself? How did you move it?
Where'd you get the frames and armor?
Too many questions!
So take your time and answer them one at a time.
I assembled it myself, but the required parts, like the frames, were all here.
Huh? What do you mean?
One time, I got lost in the mountains, and I accidentally found this place.
I really liked the vibe of this run-down maintenance shop.
It still had tools and testing equipment, even if they were a little old.
After spending a few days entering random codes...
The door unlocked...
...and then I found it.
It had a cockpit, which was unusual,
but it had no control system equipment installed. It was bizarre.
I still managed to use what parts were there and got this far.
I get it. It's exciting to see something starting to take shape.
Yes, that's exactly it! Building something one part at a time!
The problem is, the main system for this AMAIM boots up,
but I'm struggling with the battery alignment mechanism, so it won't activate.
So you went into the mountains to look for control system parts.
The scavengers those soldiers mentioned back there were you guys, huh?
Don't worry, I won't repay your kindness with ingratitude.
I called you to help because I knew you had machine parts in your backpack.
I figured a tinkerer wouldn't treat me so bad.
Anyway, what are you going to do after this thing is operational?
You gonna fight them?
Fight? Why would I?
So it's just a hobby to pass the time.
Well, it's good to have something to engross yourself in.
During the Boundary War, some traded in their rations to go see a show.
Since the dawn of time, humans needed entertain--
Be quiet!
A signal blocker that jams cell phones, huh?
Do you believe me now? That I'm an autonomous AI?
Hey, where are you going?
Home! I'm not in the mood today.
Don't shut down the main power!
It's okay, once I'm fully charged, it'll turn off automatically!
Well, then.
Ah, there we go! Great, I can see everything.
The remote circuit is doing good.
I'm glad I got access to the system already!
Looks like Amou couldn't even use half of what's in here.
Time for me to return the favor.
How did the squad leader meeting go?
Full of sarcastic comments. "I envy the peaceful country life."
"All you have to do is change the mercenary's diapers."
They're a quick-tempered, unruly bunch.
I will not end my career in a place like this.
I need to achieve something great.
Like annihilating a group of terrorists?
Even wannabes will do. After all, you're guilty until proven innocent.
It's been three days...
I wonder what he's going to do after he's fully charged?
--Onishi! --Taku!
I got something.
That's all we need. We're charging you with terrorism.
What?! All we did was customize vehicles--
Second Lieutenant.
Sir!
There's another member. Tell us the truth.
Tell us, and we'll consider letting you go scot-free.
"Gai" "Decline" "Accept"
"Gai" "Decline" "Accept" Uh,
what?!
--Hello? --Amou, get out of there, now!
Gai? How did you--
"Gai" "Decline" "Accept" Never mind that! Hurry up and head to the shop!
Clear!
Dammit!
Analyze the local image folder! Get as much locational data as you can!
Yes, sir!
Sorry. I did leave you with some stuff to work on, but this is an emergency.
How...
I solved the battery alignment issue. It's operational!
How did you...
I accessed the facility's system through this AMAIM to--
Wait, they're here!
What?! A security camera?
CO-03BR. Bunyip Boomerang...
Two unmanned AMAIMs from the Oceanian military,
along with the vehicles to control the AMAIMs;
one COMV73 and one COCV58.
Shiiba Amou! We know you're in there!
You are under arrest for conspiracy and planning terrorist acts.
You do not have the right to remain silent nor the right to an attorney.
Same goes for these scum.
I told you, we're not terrorists!
I asked them about you, but they didn't say a word.
Of course not!
We don't sell our friends out!
We're not like you!
Well, well. Isn't this a beautiful friendship, Amou?
Allow me to give you the chance to help your friends out.
Turn yourself in immediately!
Kill him if he resists.
Roger that.
Don't go, Amou! If you do, they'll arrest you and that'll be the end!
But...!
Do you want to spend the rest of your life falsely accused in prison?!
Or do you want to get out of this jam alive?!
This AMAIM can boost your one in a million chance to one in a hundred, or even ten!
I can make that happen.
You saved my life, so I'll stick by your side!
I'm trusting you, Gai.
I won't fail you!
Looks like he's not coming out. Let's smoke him out, then. Fire!
Hey, it's practically perfect! Man, I'm good!
Oh, turn it to the right.
Here we go!
This'll sting a little, but bear with me.
The system analyzes your brain waves and body reaction to control the AMAIM.
Even if the AMAIM receives an impact, the sensor will protect your body.
Transitioning to MAILeS start mode!
According to the program source, this AMAIM's name is "Kenbu."
Kenbu...
Close your eyes for two seconds so I can measure your ocular bulb location.
Wh-What's this?
It's projecting Kenbu's video feed through the retinal display.
Yo!
Gai?
I look good, right? It's my avatar so it'll be easier to talk to me.
Easier to talk to you...?
Right now, you think you're standing,
but you're strapped into your seat. The system is controlling your senses.
I see. Same with this, then?
Right! Focus on that grip!
O-Okay.
Let's get going then! Deactivate the control locks!
Deactivate the control locks!
Stand up!
Kenbu, activate!
Shiiba Amou! If you're not surrendering, we will execute you as a terrorist.
If you're still alive, that is.
Dammit!
What?!
What is that AMAIM?!
It's an unidentified robot! It must be an enemy force!
They have hostages, but don't let them know that.
Draw their attention away and confuse them!
Got it!
Could that be... Shiiba?!
Good! Now land on your left leg and rotate to the left!
It's so powerful!
Pull back so your friends aren't caught in the crossfire!
Right!
The 30mm machine gun won't penetrate its armor?!
I worked hard to polish its armor!
You need to focus!
Unit-001, continue your pursuit!
Unit-002, attack the location it appeared from!
There must be a command center beneath. Use all your ammo if you have to!
Roger that!
It won't matter how strong the AMAIM's armor is if we can find the pilot.
What're they doing?
They're attacking where they think you are.
Nowadays, it's rare for a pilot to actually be inside the AMAIM.
Watch out!
I'm out of ammo. I'm not picking up any readings from the building!
How is it still moving then?
Could that AMAIM... That's it!
Send Unit-002 back to Unit-001 now!
The first one to make a move loses?
Oh, no...
That's right. We can use them.
Shoot, they're gonna use the hostages!
Use your special move and wipe them all out before they can act!
My special move?
Bardiche Breaker!
B-Bar...?
Imagine an immense heat expanding inside of you, and sock it to them!
By the way, it only accepts audio input.
Now you're just lying!
You've got a lot of frustration built up inside!
Say it out loud and let them have it!
Amou, to your left!
Bardiche Breaker!
I knew you had it in you, Amou.
All I did was throw a punch...
But in that moment, using this AMAIM to defeat the enemy...
Feeling the impact and vibration...
I'd never experienced anything like it.
I knew...
"Episode 01: Activate"
"Episode 01: Activate" I knew my world had just changed.
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" So, how was it, Amou? Riding Kenbu?
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" It was really exciting and thrilling.
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" But now I'm a wanted person.
Who cares?
I do!
Nothing's guaranteed in life!
Let's blaze a new path to the future, you and I!
All right.
"Episode 02: Voyage"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E02 [00p].01.eng.English

Two enemy AMAIMs spotted at A7.
GS1, GS2, fire now.
Right flank, team two, team four, form lines abreast.
Team six, team eight, back up Echo-2.
R1 to R7, advance forward.
In three seconds, open fire at W272.
Fire!
Enemy neutralized. Team one, team three, advance forward.
Left flank, transition to phase 4.
Initiate wave attacks!
Grenade!
They're retreating.
A swift judgment call based on the difference in military power.
They have a good commander.
The Eurasian military keeps at it though, don't they, Captain Watt?
Small-scale drone battles are simply a waste of supplies.
As long as we can handle it, Warrant Officer Hardy.
Anyway, Captain, about the original AMAIM piloted by that terrorist...
Ah, yes. The unidentified robot that defeated two Oceanian military Bunyips.
A manned AMAIM at that...
This is very intriguing...
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Amou! Be careful! We don't want the Oceanian military to find us!
That's easy for you to say...
Uh, what was that?! I picked the most inconspicuous route for us!
I'm still new at this!
Fine! You wanna ditch this robot, then?
No way! This is my AMAIM that I assembled!
Yeah, I like this one as well.
It'll also act as armor to protect us.
Especially after provoking the Oceanian military like that!
Let's get out of here, now.
R-Right.
Shiiba Amou!
Exit the robot immediately and surrender!
Or else I'll kill them, one by one.
Don't think I won't!
Amou!
Don't make me laugh. You think I'll come out because of your threat?
What?!
I was only using them to collect the parts I needed.
Thanks to them, I got this AMAIM operational.
But now I have no use for them anymore.
I've told them nothing. Interrogating them is a waste of time!
The Oceanian army let the real terrorist escape, while punishing the innocent.
You'll become a laughing stock of the whole world.
Thanks to me, they're walking away scot-free.
They're not free, they're still under protective observation.
Although they were cleared of terrorism...
And now I'm a wanted man... I'm not even a terrorist...
I got you covered, so the military can't access your cell phone GPS or phone log.
You're welcome!
I'm so hungry...
I told you what berries are edible!
Those won't fill me up!
Well, you're the one being picky, saying you can't slaughter a hog!
I wouldn't call that being picky!
Kids these days...
What's going to happen to me...?
First, we'll go through the Seto Inland Sea and head for Okayama.
The Oceanian army will back off once we're outside their territory.
What if they don't?
Then we'll escape abroad!
The world is a big place.
There's bound to be a safe haven that they can't reach!
I'll come with you. A great adventure, just the two of us!
Sounds fun, but also exhausting...
I don't like wasting energy...
Go to sleep. I'll be on guard.
Okay... Good night.
Look, there's the sea!
But we can't cross it in broad daylight.
We'll have to wait until the sun sets.
Okay.
So I'm going into sleep mode!
Huh?
Autonomous AIs need time to organize enormous amounts of data!
During that time, our functions are temporarily limited.
I call it "sleep mode" because it's similar to humans needing their sleep.
I've got tons of data to sort through after operating this AMAIM.
H-Hold on for a second...
Once I'm done, we'll be able to move a lot better than last time.
Never mind that!
I'll still keep my guard up, but don't screw up.
It's all over if the Oceanian army finds us.
I said hold on, Gai!
Good night!
Will this do? Gai did say it'll have its guard up...
I guess I'll go find food.
A vegetable field this deep in the mountains?
I know this is wrong, but under these circumstances...
If I can just eat enough...
What are you doing?!
I'm sorry! I really am! It's just that I was so hungry, and I couldn't help it!
You have my apologies! Just, please don't call the cops! Please let me just go!
What's your name?
Huh?! Oh, um, Shiiba.
He who does not work, neither shall he eat.
You can help. Then I won't turn you in.
Oh, o-of course!
Use scissors for tomatoes and cucumbers. You won't harm the branches as much.
O-Okay.
Corn is ready when the silk turns brown. They're not ready yet.
Loosen up the soil to harvest potatoes. Make sure you get 'em all.
Here ya go!
Try it. It's been cooling in that stream there for tasting.
Oh, but...
I only need enough for today. Just shut up and eat it.
It's so good!
I got seedlings that need planting. You can help.
Got it!
The feel of the soil...
Its smell, so earthy...
Is this your first-time doing field work?
Yes, it is. I came from the city, so...
But it's fun to do this kind of work!
You got time?
Huh?
Oh, my. Well, hello there.
My husband rarely brings anyone home, so I didn't expect a guest.
Please, come in.
Get him dinner, will you?
Of course! Looks like your clothes need washing, too.
I'll throw them in the washer. You go take a bath.
Please, help yourself. I hope you'll like it.
Don't be shy. We can't eat all this food.
She always makes too much.
Well, I can't help it.
U-Um, thank you for the food!
It's different from the store-bought food or pre-made meals...
It's been so long since I ate a home-cooked meal.
It's so warm, so delicious...
Oh, my! I'm so sorry! Did you not like it?
No, it's not that. I-I'm sorry, it's really good.
Really... I don't know what's gotten into me. It's just so good.
Well... I'm relieved to hear that. Please, try this, too.
Okay! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the food.
You're quite welcome.
Here, I made you fresh tea.

The Japanese government and NAC are working towards the restoration of Japan--
The young terrorist who fought the Oceanian military remains at large.
"Terrorist remains at large" Authorities believe the terrorist will try to escape through Shikoku--
Um...
Another person used to live here.
What?
My son.
"Genkoumaru" He got caught in the crossfire during the Boundary War.
"Genkoumaru" He said he was gonna take after my business and become a fisherman.
But after his death, I never felt like going fishing again.
Occasionally, I'll go check the condition of the engine.
It's yours if you want that old thing.
No, I can't!
I don't know your story, and I don't care to know.
But I've never met anyone who apologized like that in the field.
Usually, they either run or throw hateful words at me.
But you were good-natured and helped when I told you to.
Seeing that, I knew you were straight as an arrow.
The way things are right now, you've got good people and bad.
But what's the point if you can't keep your faith in the people you trust?
So as long as you stay here, you've got nothing to worry about.
Not a thing, you hear?
U-Um, thank you so much!
Oh, my. I think your clothes are dry now.
Oh, let me go! It's the least I can do!
Oh, all right. It's down the hall.
Okay!
Hey, Gen. Ya home?
Hey, Tokuji!
What brings you here so late?
You've seen the recent news.
About a terrorist kid on the run?
I'm patrolling the neighborhood to be on the lookout.
Have you seen any kid like that?
A kid you've never seen, or anything out of the ordinary?
Nah, nothing at all.
You sure?
Yeah, just the usual here.
Are you really sure about that?
Don't make me repeat myself. Everything's been normal here.
All right, then. Sorry to bother you late at night.
Call me if something comes up.
Yup, will do.
Don't worry about him. He can be trusted.
Amou...
You're awake, Gai.
I have been for a while. I overheard that conversation.
That police officer figured out you're here.
Yeah.
But he didn't pursue, thanks to the old man.
Yeah...
You know, I was actually starting to think this isn't a bad life.
Work the fields, harvest them, and enjoy the meals...
But now is not the time nor the place.
Right...
If I stayed here, I'd be putting them in danger.
Thank you for the dinner and the bath.
It was delicious and I had a great time. I truly appreciate your kindness.
But I would be putting you two at risk if I stayed here.
"Genkoumaru" But I would be putting you two at risk if I stayed here.
"Genkoumaru" So I know I'm being selfish, but I have to leave.
If anyone asks, please tell them that I threatened you.
That way, you won't be suspected of anything.
"Genkoumaru" Also, I would like to borrow your boat.
Also, I would like to borrow your boat.
One day, I'll come back to return it.

"Setting > External Connection" "Paired Devices" "User_R3A91b55 - Not Connected" "Pair Other Devices"
"Setting > External Connection" "Paired Devices" "User_R3A91b55 - Not Connected" "Unknown - Connected"
I will try my best to come back and return it.
Please be safe until then.
I didn't know you could operate a boat, too, Gai.
As long as it's computerized.
I can operate vehicles, aircrafts, anything.
We can also recharge the AMAIM using the boat's battery. It all worked out!
What's wrong?
I said "borrow," but I basically stole it from him.
I just feel guilty, you know?
Give me a break. You're a wanted terrorist.
Adding larceny to your list of charges isn't that big of a deal.
You're missing my point!
Who cares what you're being charged with?
Stay alive and one day, you'll get the chance to clear your name and apologize!
You're right.
Yup!
We're almost at the other side.
The undeveloped area up ahead used to be a grueling battlefield during the--
Shoot, it's the Asian military! They found us!
Huh?
I knew he'd show up sooner or later.
You may have been able to escape from the Oceanian idiots, but not us.
Whether we capture or destroy the robot that defeated the AMAIMs...
It'll be good publicity for the Asian military.
AM22U Nyuren... There are at least 12 Asian military drones.
Wh-What do we do?!
We gotta fight them! They'll just chase us down if we run!
Besides, we can't outrun them on this boat!
B-But...
There's no other way! The only way is forward.
You'll be a hero after defeating both the Oceanian and Asian military!
I don't want to be a hero!
Oh, come on! Play along!
But you've got me fired up!
Yeah?
Prepare to open fire.
Prepare to open fire.
"Genkoumaru"
Fire!
Fire!
We're starting to descend!
We'll be entering their firing range soon.
We'll confuse them and land at the end of the bridge.
How do I...
Leave it to me!
Orientation control, R23, L minus 1.
Prepare for landing. Increase counterbalance output! Remove rev limiter!
How is it moving like that?!
Thanks, Gai!
Don't mention it! I'm here to help.
Let's go!
This is incredible...
I didn't know it could fight like this.
That was "push-out" in sumo.
Before sorting through all the data, I added some combat sport techniques.
Like I said, we'll move differently next time.
Nyuren-02 and Nyuren-03 are offline!
Team two, prepare to attack!
Team three and team four will advance forward to block off his escape route!
Hmm... I've never seen moves like that in AMAIM combat.
Please keep yourself hidden, Captain!
Who knows what'll happen if the Asian military spot us!
Looks like our plan to follow that robot is paying off.
Three-unit platoon up ahead. Analyzing attack route. Select!
Go!
Good! We're out of their line of fire!
Next!
What?! It won't shoot!
It has an attachment authentication feature.
Only Asian military robots can fire that gun!
Then I'll just use it like this!
--Bravo! --Captain!
He's rough around the edges, but very fascinating.
Unfortunately, that isn't enough to defeat the Asian military.
Send in the platoons on stand-by!
Shoot! We're surrounded!
The Asian military is a highly organized army that never waivers.
There's no escaping now.
We need to run, Amou! It's all going down-hill!
B-But...
Use that! It's a high-powered ship battery!
The impact from the projectile will cause the potassium ion inside to explode!
The law of Barnabas... Got it!
Now!
Right.
It's no use.
Fire!
Extinguish the fire!
Hold it down!
It took on all those hits and it can still move?
They weren't lying about how tough its armor is.
Let's put its strength to the test.
This was a manned AMAIM, right?
How long can the armor last to protect its pilot, I wonder?
Continue firing!
Over there!
Six units remaining.
Give me six seconds.

Thanks.
Anyway, I wonder who that was that came to help us...?

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E03 [00p].01.eng.English

There's a sniper!
Wh-Who is it?!
Locked on to all targets. Launching a seeker.
All units are offline!
All enemies obliterated.
A-Amazing...
You there. Can your AMAIM still move?
I sent you some map data. Security code A7C2.
A7C2...
Come with me. I'll cover you.
N-Now what?
It's a smoke screen with chaff.
Radar and radio waves are disabled. We've lost the enemy units.
Dammit!
U-Um, thank you. You saved my life.
Oh, I'm Shiiba Amou. This AMAIM is Kenbu, and the AI's name is Gai--
--Stop it. --Huh?
Don't touch me!
But you're also trying to use my connection against me to gather intel.
You're pretty good.
A female voice?
You won't believe this, Amou.
There's another autonomous AI on that robot.
I apologize for earlier.
I'm Kei. This AMAIM is called Jogan.
And this is Tezuka Gashin. It's nice to meet you.
O-Oh, the pleasure is ours.
What's this underground tunnel for? It's not in my data.
A high-speed railway system that fell through before the Borderline War.
Private-sectors were working on it,
but abandoned the plan before going public.
It's the reason why we can safely travel without detection.
So they basically realized it'd cost too much and gave up.
Most likely.
U-Um, Mr. Tezuka.
Drop the mister. It makes me cringe.
O-Okay. Um, who are you guys? How did you get that AMAIM--
Are you an idiot?
Gashin.
A Japanese person piloting an AMAIM and fighting the military.
We are members of "Yatagarasu," fighting to reclaim Japan.
Ah, an encounter with a real terrorist, then.
Wh-Where are you taking us?
To our base camp.
This is the terrorists' lair...
Hey, you're back, Gashin!
--Looks like everything worked out. --Yeah.
Is he the kid everyone's talking about?
Doesn't look like he's got much spunk.
Okay then. I'm going to take these to maintenance.
Thank you!
Wait...
You don't have a say in this.
Welcome back, Gashin! Is he Shiiba Amou?
Oh, yes, I am.
Hello. I'm Kozaki Risa. Nice to meet you.
Ah, nice to meet you, too.
You're blushing.
Shut it.
Come with me. Boss wants to talk to you.
I'm the leader of Yatagarasu's Special Forces Group Two, Kumai Goken.
I-I'm Shiiba Amou.
May I ask a few questions?
Of course.
First of all, do you have any accomplices?
Secondly, how did you come across that AMAIM and assemble it?
What is the code name of the autonomous AI connected to that AMAIM?
It's Gai.
Are you the creator of Gai?
N-No, I'm not.
I found that AMAIM in an abandoned facility deep inside the mountains.
I assembled it using manipulators and winches already there.
For parts that were out of commission, I went to find alternative ones.
I don't have an accomplice.
I found Gai inside the woods.
Inside the woods?
It's the truth. Apparently, Gai modified the cockpit so it could get in...
Thanks to my foresight.
Shut it.
Amou.
Y-Yes?
Let me be straight with you. That AMAIM belongs to us.
One of our backers provided us with that AMAIM.
While the dev concept is different, it's the same series as Gashin's "Jogan."
MAILeS...
Yes, MAILeS. We shipped the parts for MAILeS: KENBU to our Shikoku branch.
The plan was to send out a pilot along with a combat AI after its completion.
But the Shikoku branch fell before that.
We lost all communication and had no clue where it was.
That's when you assembled and activated it.
What's your point? You gonna claim ownership?
Gai!
Not a bad idea, but that just isn't fair for you guys.
So, Shiiba Amou.
Y-Yes?
What do you think about joining us?
Join a terrorist group?
We're not terrorists. We're the Resistance.
We don't harm anyone who's unarmed.
I-I'm sorry.
With just the two of you, you assembled Kenbu and won two battles.
We find your strengths very interesting.
What do you say?
But...
You're against it?
Right now, I'm just fighting drones, but I'll eventually have to kill, right?
What about it?!
That AMAIM isn't a toy! It's a weapon used for battles!
Take a look at this!
Japanese people are treated this way all over Japan as we speak!
Yet, you'd hesitate even when you have the power to save them?!
B-But...
I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse him.
It was his father's dream to restore Japan,
but he died before he could realize it.
He was the previous pilot of Jogan, the AMAIM that saved you.
Gashin has taken on his father's will.
If you really are opposed to it,
we'll help you get back to the civilian life.
You'll change your name and live elsewhere.
We have connections with other organizations
throughout the country to do that.
Of course, you'll have to return the AMAIM in that case.
Just think about it.
Will do.
Gashin...
What's up?
Ms. Kozaki...
You can talk to me if something's on your mind.
Ms. Kozaki, why did you join the Resistance?
I used to have a family. My dad, mom, and a little brother.
They all died in a car crash.
The other vehicle belonged to the Asian military.
It was 90 to 100% their fault.
But in this day and age...
They used their extraterritorial rights and ended up getting away with it.
Somehow, they made it our fault.
They even charged me for the damage caused to the military vehicle.
I was just in high school at the time.
That's awful...
I was left all alone.
To this day, I still feel pain, sadness, and hatred.
There must be many others who are going through what I did.
That's why I joined the movement to take back Japan.
Everyone here probably has more or less similar reasons.
I don't have a reason like you or Tezuka have.
My parents died from illness. It had nothing to do with the military.
A sudden illness claimed Dad,
and Mom relied on Dad for everything, so she quickly worked herself to death.
Sure, it was sad and there was a sense of loss, but that's it.
Amou?
When I assembled that AMAIM, it was just to entertain myself.
During the first battle, being able to move the robot I made,
feeling its impact and vibration got my heart pumping and it was fun.
But in the second battle, I almost died.
I'm scared. I'm scared to fight.
To tell you the truth, they told me to convince you to join.
But I'm having second thoughts.
If this was my brother, I'm not sure if I'd ask him to join.
I think I'd want him to run off somewhere and live a peaceful life.
I told you all this because it's my mission,
but please take care of yourself.
People can't be happy all alone...
You're right...
HQ notified us that the Asian military's been on high alert since we rescued Kenbu.
We're going to abort our plan to cut the enemy's supply route.
Once ready, all members will head back to HQ.
Yes, sir.
Do you think Amou will join us?
I'm not sure.
What a weakling...
We can always change out the pilots. It's the AMAIMs we need.
That's true, but...
If push comes to shove, I'll be the pilot.
Useless pilots only hold us back.
Shiiba Amou!
Huh?
Come with me!
I'll train you.
Um, what's this?
Pilots need stamina, too.
It won't hurt to have it, like in cases when you need to run.
You do have a point...
"Training Regiment"
"Training Regiment" Running, 50m sprint, crunches, back extensions, pushups, squats...
Running, 50m sprint, crunches, back extensions, pushups, squats...
What's this?
It's a light training regiment.
--This is light?! --We'll do three sets.
--What?! --Come on. We don't have all day.
Uh, but...!
What are they up to?
Gashin's dragging Amou around for something.
What's wrong with that? He finally has a friend his age. Let them be.
What's this?
We brought these as spare parts for "Jogan,"
but since they seem to be parts for your AMAIM, I'm gonna install them.
Oh!
Let's call it a day.
It's amazing! Seriously! You should go see!
Sorry, I just can't right now.
Let's go!
I heard Gashin's dragging you around every day.
You haven't touched your food.
You can have mine if that's not enough.
Take some of mine, too.
Ah, no, that's not it...
I'm too tired to even have an appetite...
You should try this, then!
My special blend.
Uh...
Ah, perfection!
Let's move on then and connect the weapons unit.
On it!
Thirty!
We're done for the day.
Shiiba Amou.
I finished assembling the armor that never made it to Shikoku.
Come take a look!
YM-02 Kenbu.
This is Yatagarasu's latest humanoid robot weapon.
It has a combat sword with super thermal vibration
and a 60mm heavy-caliber machine gun.
This is the final form of the MAILeS you assembled.
What do you think? Cool, right?
Or are you sour because you didn't get to work on it yourself?
No, that's not it. I'm blown away by such professional work.
Even the final touch-ups are much better than how I did it.
I didn't know there was a river here.
Since there's not enough bathtubs to go around at the camp,
I sometimes come here to wash the sweat away.
I see.
Whoa!
Come on, what are you waiting for? Take your clothes off, Amou.
Uh, well, I...
You wanna keep your clothes on?
It's not that, but...
Okay!
Cannon ball!
See? It's so cool and refreshing, right?
Huh? What? Did I say something funny?
Oh, no, it's just that this situation...
Boss said we're ready to leave, so we'll be headed to Hiroshima tomorrow.
Have you come to a decision?
I'm still afraid to fight.
But after a few days with everyone, I realize that you're all good people.
I'll come with you.
I also don't want to part ways with Kenbu, now that it's in its final form.
And there's much to learn, so, um...
I see! I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you. We're counting on you.
I'll do my best.
Are you okay with that? I didn't really consult with you.
It's totally fine.
Like I said before. I'll stick with you no matter where you go.
Gai...
That's great! So he'll join us?
Yes, though it's a little complicated...
Are you ready, Amou?
Yeah.
Go!
Wow...
Let me adjust the anti-G. Do a turn and a jump next!
I'll try!
The movement is far better than before.
They did a complete overhaul.
Even the parts we made do with have been upgraded to the most recent models.
Gai! I'm going to test out the sword next.
You got it!
I-It's incredible.
This is the true power of Kenbu...
How'd it go? Did you finish your test run?
Y-Yeah. I'm actually shocked.
It felt about 20% faster than the data being displayed.
But are we allowed to do this?
We've got the green light, and it won't take long.
Under emergency situations, we may have to swap our AMAIMs.
We need to be prepared.
Hopefully, there won't be any emergency situations.
Oh, wait, wouldn't the Asian military find us if we do this?
Are you an idiot?
We're engaged in high-level info warfare to deny satellite and radar usage.
Without it, our base camp would've been spotted ages ago.
Oh, I see.
Anyway, let's get started.
Yo! Nice to work with you!
Yeah.
If he turns out to be useless, I may have to pilot this AMAIM.
Go easy on me.
Y-You, too.
This is mock battle. We have a fake sword,
and you have paintballs that evaporate quickly. You good?
Y-Yeah.
Let's go!
Your dash timing was off!
I know!
Gunfights can end in an instant. Always watch your line of fire and ammo.
Okay!
You need to step into it! Give it more oomph, and then blam! Get fired up!
Shut it! Your job is to just give me data and analysis results!
What?!
Take good aim at them. Those paintballs won't do any damage.
B-But it's all spick-and-span. I don't want to ruin it...
What?!
Yes! That's what I'm talking about!
What an amateur! You think this is a game?!
He's closing in! Change your weapon!
Got it!
A tie, then?
Good, there aren't any big scratches.
AIs in MAILeS study the pilot's habits to improve AMAIM controls.
This one seems to know your habits by heart with only two battles in,
allowing you to move like it's your own.
Like my own...
What'd you expect? We're best friends!
Best friends?
What? I'm right, aren't I?
Yeah, you're right. Best friends, huh? I like that.
An explosion?
It came from the base camp!
"Episode 03: Reason to Fight"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Gai, about Yatagarasu...
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Yeah, it's a raven in Japanese mythology, worshipped as the will of god.
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Cut it out, you two. We need to focus on the enemy in front of us.
Enemies...
That AMAIM, it's...!
"Episode 04: Separate Ways"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E04 [00p].01.eng.English

Move those parts in that truck over there, now!
We got this! You go ahead and evacuate, Chief!
Chief!
Huh?
Please evacuate, quickly!
Thank you!
Amou!
What is this thing?
I don't know. It's not in my database, either.
Either way, we need to watch out for its left hand!
Gashin, that AMAIM is...!
That arm...!
Gashin, Amou!
We'll draw its attention to us! Use that opportunity to attack!
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Ms... Risa...
Above you!
Amou! We need to evacuate everyone!
Can you and Gashin buy us some time?!
Huh...?
Get it together!
Got it!
Gashin, stay calm!
That thing killed my father!
That day, I made a childish request...
I wanna practice on Jogan instead of a training robot today. Is that okay?
Well...
It's fine. My mission is to just patrol nearby areas.
One day, you may have to ride Jogan.
It'd be good to get used to it.
Yeah!
But...
Mayday! We're under attack by an unknown AMAIM--
D-Dad!
By the time I arrived...
Dad!
I'm going to kill you!
Gashin, keep your cool! Your heart rate and blood pressure's skyrocketing--
Hey, stay out of my way!
Gashin! You can't be serious?!
Gashin.
Boss...
You know full well that it's strong.
Work together with Amou, got it?
Roger that.
Gashin, get the weapon!
You're still here?! We need to evacuate, now!
I know, just give me a few more minutes.
What the heck is this AMAIM, anyway?!
Honestly, we don't exactly know either.
It's unmanned and unidentified, and its allegiance unknown.
It keeps popping up all over the place and attacks without warning.
Our sources say even the Asian and North American military have been hit.
Apparently, they call it "Ghost."
"Ghost," huh? How fitting. I tried to look inside its system, but I got nothing.
What a pain!
Do you think we can coordinate well enough?
It's not a question of whether we can or can't! We have to!
R-Right.
It's coming!
Amou!
Be careful! Its power is off the charts! Its limiter is likely disabled!
Don't ignore me!
How is it using our weapon?!
Is the attachment authentication feature offline?!
That's one of its abilities.
It can use any parts or weapons that are lying around on the battlefield...
...regardless of its attachment authentication feature.
Idiot! Don't step in my line of fire!
Why don't you stop firing so sloppily?!
What?!
Dammit, we need to--
No! We'll only get in their way!
They're working together as a team!
That must be due to the autonomous AI's learning capability...
Dammit, we can't finish it off!
We're low on ammo, too!
You two!
Ms. Misuzu?
You can find your weapons here!
Weapons...
We're counting on you!
Eat this.
With these weapons...
...we'll have more tactical options!
It's coming!
We're gonna have to think fast! You ready, Amou?!
Yes!
We've got this as long as we keep our cool. We need to be in sync.
Yeah, I got it.
It's pushing me back...
But if we know its powers, we can easily counter it.
Guns would be more effective against it!
That's what I'm talking about!
I knew you'd try that!
Have a taste of our new weapon!
Now!
Tezuka!
Yeah!
We did it!
Is it over?
I-I can't move.
What's it doing?!
I'm getting a crazy reading!
Its core temperature and energy output gain are spiking!
Wait, does this thing have a self-destruct feature?!
It's effecting the system...
Huh?
Mr. Kumai, sir?
Aim for its joints! Pull it away from them!
Tezuka!
Yeah!
Shoot its hip!
It's gonna blow! We need to run!
Fall back! Everybody, fall back!
It didn't explode?
It looks like the heat source moved away, but it may be lying in wait.
No...
We'll observe for now.
Dammit... I wanted to avenge my dad...
That AMAIM was ready to die. Our AMAIMs couldn't take any more damage, either.
What's the point in avenging your dad's death if you die in the process?
We'll get it next time.
I see. I'm glad you're both safe.
On our side, many are wounded and we're short on weapons, too.
We'll head back to HQ first. Can you take care of the camp?
Yes.
Ghost might still be lurking in the shadows.
Be extra careful and avoid any combat. Our next channel will be F2633.
Roger that.
"Take care" of what?
After all that ruckus,
the Asian military will find our camp soon.
We need to destroy any and all confidential info.
O-Okay...
I'm not picking up any AMAIM signals. Residual heat's gone, too. It's safe.
Amou.
I know...
What's that?
You can talk to me if something's on your mind.
See? It's so cool and refreshing, right?
Thank you. We're counting on you.
People can't be happy all alone...
Amou...
So this is the terrorists' base camp where the fighting occurred.
They've cleaned it out more than I expected.
It's because the Asian military went through everything already.
Though, I'm sure the terrorists didn't leave any sensitive info behind.
One, two... No, three AMAIMs in total.
Oh?
Its movements are better than before.
Did the pilot or AI get better? Perhaps it's the maintenance?
You can tell all that from just this?
Yes, if you look closely.
The evidence speaks for itself.
They were able to work together well.
They also have new weapons, and--
Which three AMAIMs were involved?
One is that original AMAIM we saw at the port.
Another is the sniper AMAIM the terrorists have.
Then, the last one must be...
Yes, it's Ghost.
So this is where it was.
Makes you feel like a kid again, doesn't it, Warrant Officer Raymond Hardy?
Sir?
As you chase something interesting, you get a glimpse of something bigger.
Ah, what a rush!
Amou must be devastated. How's he doing?
He seemed pretty closed off, but he did manage to eat.
He seems to be handling death better than I thought he would.
I understand what he's going through.
He was just a normal boy only a few days ago.
We'll arrange for therapy as soon as we reach HQ.
Keep a close eye on him, will you?
Roger that.
I'm done with the prototypes. Take a look.
Are these...?
I had the Intelligence Agency make them.
The original AMAIM, the sniper AMAIM, and Ghost.
I entered the data I've ball-parked from the terrorists' camp into the base models.
It should be close to their actual spec.
Is this for simulation?
Intel is gold. With it, we're able to develop contingencies.
It's hard to believe that the Japanese terrorists developed these by themselves.
Its specs are higher than our Brady Hound or the Asian military's Nyuren.
I'm with the General Command Center on this one; they likely have backers.
We have a lot of work ahead of us.
More importantly, take a look at this.
They're incredible... I'm surprised the terrorists were able to win.
More like they were able to drive it back.
We already knew its limiters were disabled,
but it may also have boosters or accelerators installed.
A self-improving AI?
There must be a facility somewhere that makes it all possible.
We can't move as freely within the Asian military's territory.
But we can speculate.
Ray, contact the Development Agency.
Wait, you're not thinking about moving it here?
Make sure it's in perfect condition before the roll-out.
Shouldn't you try talking to him?
Leave him be.
Sometimes, you just want to be alone with your thoughts.
Other times, you just need time.
I was the same way.
It's the only way I know.
What is it?
I'm not going any further. I won't be joining the Resistance.
I see. That's fine.
Gashin, are you sure?
It's his decision. I'm sure he put a lot of thought into it.
I'll talk to Boss for you.
Thanks...
But you can't take Kenbu with you. Hide it so the enemies won't find it.
I or someone else will come back for it later.
Just be sure to send me the location of where you hide it.
Okay.
I'm sticking with Amou.
I'll let HQ know.
U-Um, d-don't die, okay?
It's none of your business anymore.
I-I don't want you to!
I'm afraid to die, too, but I'm more afraid of people I know dying!
If I join the Resistance, I'm basically going to the battlefield.
I'm sure I'll get to know a lot more people.
That's why...
Many have said the same thing and left.
I chose to live my life this way.
You should just forget about us.
Okay, then...
Yeah.
Gai...
Yeah.

"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Sorry, Gai. We're back to a life on the run.

"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" I also don't think you made the wrong choice.
Anyway, where are we headed off to?

"Convenience Store: Daily Hiunasu"
"Convenience Store: Daily Hiunasu" Thank you!
I really can buy things...
I told you! I hacked into the database and re-wrote your ID and warrant data.
You should be thankful!
So what are you going to do?
I want to visit Ms. Risa's hometown.
I know her family's gone,
but maybe I can return this to her relatives...
But first, I need to find the address.
I'm a step ahead of you! I already looked it up.
What?
"Military vehicle accident strikes again"
"Military vehicle accident strikes again" I found an article about the car accident Risa and her family were involved in.
I then went through the resident cards in that city and found them.
Aren't you glad that I'm here for you?!
I really am.
I never got to say it properly, but thanks for sticking with me.
I would've decked you if you said you'd go without me!
How?
I'd use Kenbu!
I'd die!
That's true!
All right, then!
Yeah, let's go!
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Take him away!
Next!
Japanese criminals, huh?
Entertainment to increase my appetite.
It also serves as a lesson to others. It's a win-win.
Ever since you became deputy governor, public order has dramatically improved.
Using a stick is the best way to train those idiots.
You know, it's violence, power, and money you need to control people.
And you have them all.
I need more. One day, I'll return to HQ, triumphantly.
I suppose we'll see many more, then.
Many more Japanese rebels who'll die from illness or go missing.
They're nothing but prey to me.
Is this the place?
Yeah, I'm positive.
I checked the map data. I don't see any other Kosaki's nearby.
"Tanaka" I checked the map data. I don't see any other Kosaki's nearby.
"Watanabe" I checked the map data. I don't see any other Kosaki's nearby.
I checked the map data. I don't see any other Kosaki's nearby.
M-Maybe her relatives or someone would know something.
Excuse me!
Oh, hello! Ah...
Looks like this is going to be hard.
Hi, there.
Are you Risa's friend?
Huh?
Hina!
Who are you?
U-Um, I came to know Ms. Risa recently, and I brought this...
Not here. Follow me.
The Asian military destroyed Risa's home.
She had no family left, and since she joined the Resistance,
this guy who was recently assigned as deputy governor sanctioned it.
Several other homes were destroyed for similar reasons.
"For Sale" Several other homes were destroyed for similar reasons.
"For Sale" They even went after their family members.
They even went after their family members.
It was basically oppression.
Fearing for their lives, Risa's relatives all moved away.
No one knows where they are now.
I see...
Are you hurt?
Oh, not at all! I'm not hurt, but thanks for asking.
Good!
Most people know each other around here.
An outsider like you would stand out.
So where are we going?
A place with some privacy.
I want to hear a little more about Risa.
"Yakisoba" "Okonomiyaki"
Is this the guy Mr. Nose was talking about?
He knows Risa?
He's cute!
Is he a member of the Resistance, too?
Uh, no, I'm...
Tsutomu! Stop fooling around!
But we don't have any other customers!
Um...
This is Namba's place.
They're Risa's childhood friends.
I called them here.
We've known her since elementary school.
We have this comradery between us.
We were shocked when Risa told us that she was joining the Resistance,
but it kinda made sense.
I know.
She was pretty kick-ass!
More than you were!
No way!
Um, what was Ms. Risa like when she was younger?
She hasn't changed, really.
She joined the baseball team and played amongst the boys up until middle school.
Huh?
After practice, she and her brother, Satoru, would go home holding hands.
Yeah. They looked so happy.
Remember that one time Risa bawled her eyes out?
Oh yeah, I remember!
She was set on winning that perfect attendance award, but she caught a cold.
I never thought she could cry like that.
I see...
So where's Risa?
When Risa left this town,
she told us she wouldn't keep in touch with us to avoid getting us into trouble.
Thanks for letting us know.
Not at all...
What was she like?
She was very kind.
She was kind, and did her absolute best to protect others.
I see. It's just like her.
He came here to return that to Risa's relatives.
That's right. But...
They all left.
So I would like to bring it to her family's grave.
Where her family rests in peace...
Does anyone know where it is?
I know!
The Kosaki family's grave, right?
It's in the mountains, so it'll take some time.
It's too late today, so you can spend the night here.
You sure?!
I wouldn't hang someone who came all the way here to dry.
I don't want to be a bother--
It'd bother me more knowing a kid is walking around by himself!
She's not gonna tell you where the grave is unless you stay!
Right, Mrs. Namba?
Yeah, that's right.
That's settled, then!
Okay, then I'll whip you up some dinner!
What do you want?
--Pork and fried egg okonomiyaki for me! --Huh?
--I want mine with squid tempura and green onions! --What?!
You two sure don't waste an opportunity.
Everyone's grateful for you.
Huh?
There isn't much to do here, but I hope you can stay a bit and enjoy.
This is Risa's hometown.
Thank you.
Okay, dig in!
It was so yummy and fun!
I'm glad you had fun.
Will he stay here forever and ever?
I don't know about forever and ever, but you'll see him tomorrow.
Yay!
Hina!
Look what you did.
Look! You made me spill a 24-year-old wine on my uniform.
Deputy Governor...!
You Japanese... Do you know what this means?
You finished it sooner than I thought you would.
You told us to hurry.
Still, no corners were cut, no compromises were made!
I've apparently underestimated the Development Agency's ability.
Model number NA12S.
This is your exclusive Brady Hound, Captain Brad.
All outputs and mobility are tuned to be at its maximum.
Even within the North American military, there's no other AMAIM like this.
You have my gratitude, Charlie. My heart's dancing with joy.
Are you planning on taking them on?
Yes. I'm going to hunt down the terrorists' original AMAIM and Ghost!
What do you mean?!
How could Mr. Nose disappear?!
Hina never came to the preschool, so I tried calling, but he never picked up.
I got worried so I went to their place,
but it was empty, furniture and all.
But their car was still there! Something's not adding up!
--Did they move? --Or skip town?
--They never mentioned anything. --Why would they leave their car behind?
I've heard a rumor about something like this...
The new deputy governor had his eyes on this one guy.
Then, one night, he just disappeared, along with all of his furniture and stuff.
Apparently, he was considered rebellious.
I heard he was sent to Asian Free Trade Entente for forced labor,
or maybe even sold to human traffickers.
What?!
Mr. Nose wasn't a rebel!
I-I'm just saying...
Even if that's really true...
Gai!
Who are you?
A customer of ours.
Whose voice was that?
Um, it's actually accessing my phone to talk,
but this is Gai, an autonomous AI.
It'd be in the data logs if a military vehicle was used.
But there's no record of people or items being transported during that time.
The Nose family should still be here somewhere!
Do you really expect us to believe all that?!
How's the audio device you recently purchased working, Mr. Yazu?
H-How did you--
Vinyl records? That's a cool hobby.
If you want, I can dig up your credit card history, too?
Stop it!
I know Gai has a mouth, but it's actually a good AI...
If you could just trust Gai...
What should we do?
Let's go see the deputy governor.
If the military is involved, we'll ask him to release them.
Mr. Nose hadn't done anything wrong!
That's right!
I'll go with you, too!
I never liked the way the military did things!
I want to give them a piece of my mind!
I see, Amou isn't joining us.
That's unfortunate, but we can't force him.
Right.
We're almost at HQ. How about you?
It's going to take a bit longer.
I'm trying to move under the radar,
and I also need to conserve the remaining energy.
Understood. Keep your eyes open.
By the time you arrive, we should be able to introduce our newest member to you.
You mean...?
Yes, she'll be riding the AMAIM with the same series as Kenbu and Jogan.
This new pilot's a 16-year-old girl, the same age as you.
"Pottery Studio"
Yup! Looks cute!
Last minute requests are very difficult to handle.
I need to coordinate with the buyer and--
You're willing to let a business opportunity pass?
You should be ready to act if opportunity knocks.
You've got me there.
You said a man and a girl?
We'll send the man to the sweatshop and the girl will--
I'm not interested.
The buyer's free to do whatever they want to.
It doesn't matter to me, as long as I'm paid.
Very true.
Hm? What's going on?
Japanese civilians are protesting outside the gate.
They're demanding to speak to you, Deputy Governor. What are your orders?
Seems the golden eggs came to me themselves.
I hope Namba and the others are okay...
Yeah...
--Hello? --You need to run, Mrs. Namba!
Kaede?!
What's wrong?
I'm near the base, but Namba and the others were arrested!
They're being treated as an antigovernment force,
and vehicles were sent out to go after their family members as suspects, too!
So you need to go!
I looked into it!
It's true, military vehicles are headed this way.
Some are headed towards the other protestors' families.
They'll be here in less than five minutes!
Kaede, you said you're near the base, right?
You also need to leave, right now!
Huh? Wh-Why me?
If the soldiers find you and suspect something, they'll arrest you, too!
Hurry!
O-Okay!
Mrs. Namba, we need to go, too!
Shiiba, will you be okay by yourself?
Huh?
They'll tear you to shreds once they find out you're Risa's acquaintance.
What?
Don't worry! We'll buy you time.
--That's right. --Yeah.
B-But...!
Don't worry! We know the area like the palm of our hands!
The Asian military won't catch us so easily.
Take this.
It'll take you to the Kosaki family's gravesite.
I'm sorry I can't take you there myself.
No...
Take care.
Amou! We don't have time!
Off you go!
The soldiers are coming!
Are you sure you don't want to sell them off as well?
Excess supply will cause prices to fall.
Besides, I also need to prove my worth to the upper ranks to return to HQ.
I see.
"Oriental Insurance"
These rebels are guilty of attempted mutiny against the AFTE!
The Asian military court has sentenced these arrestees to the death penalty.
A public execution will be held
to keep the peace for our future and for our allies!
Hey, stop recording!
I-I'm not recording anything!
These videos are from nearby security cameras and cell phones that I've hacked.
You can see what's going on.
Yeah.
Attempted mutiny, my ass! We were only here to protest!
We did nothing wrong!
This is illegal! I'm going to file charges! I'll--
Mr. Yazu!
Even criminals have the right to object.
However, a court ruling has already been made, and this is AFTE territory.
You understand?
They're gonna kill them... All of them...
Amou...
I'm a coward...
So many people helped me so many times,
and yet, I ran away by myself...
...hiding in a place like this!
Calling yourself a coward means you don't like that part about you, right?
Then, just do what you want! I'll support you all the way!
Based on the 23rd military tribunal,
we will be executing these 12 criminals!
--Tsutomu! --Mrs. Namba...
Take aim!
Wh-What's that?!
Firing squad, fall back! Nyuren, attack!
Attack!
How does it feel to be attacked by an overwhelming force?! Scary?! Painful?!
You're an adult, so why can't you understand something so simple?!
Shame on you for using your power to make money off human trafficking!
How'd you find that out?!
Wow, a confession already!
All that data on your dual bookkeeping and secret accounts were for nothing!
"Deputy governor of the Asian Free Trade Entente, Major Liu Fu" By the way, your slip-up along with the data has been sent all over the world!
"The truth about the disappearance of residents" By the way, your slip-up along with the data has been sent all over the world!
By the way, your slip-up along with the data has been sent all over the world!
Bravo!
Terminate him immediately.
Confirm the facts and prepare a statement to provide to the foreign nations.
Send a unit there, and do not let that AMAIM get away!
Yes, sir!
Mark my words! If you bully the Japanese people like this ever again,
I, no, Kenbu will make sure that you're crushed!
We'll be watching your every move!
I mouthed off...
Why did I let my emotions get the better of me...
Aw, come on, don't be like that. You found the resolve to do this, right?
Right?!
Yeah!
Mr. Nose!
I'm so glad you're both all right!
Good!
You came.

No need to apologize! So where to next?
Apparently to HQ. But they have a mission for us before that.
A mission?

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E06 [00p].01.eng.English

My grandpa was a potter of Himeno wares.
An old kiln and the long-established techniques were passed down to him.
I loved the rustic and elegant ceramics that Grandpa made.
But... five years ago...
The Asian military confiscated the land where Grandpa's studio was located.
We had no say in the matter.
All we could do was silently watch...
...as they destroyed our kiln.
Grandpa grew despondent, seemingly aging faster.
After seeing him like that, I made a promise...
That one day, I will bring back Himeno wares.
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
The control module is fried.
Did sand get into it?
We can limit the transmission path,
but the performance will drop significantly.
How's it looking on your side, Amou?
The joints around the MST bearing and cylinder cushions are worn out.
It'll put a load on other parts if we don't replace it soon.
There's not much energy left, either. We need to find a place to recharge.
I wish I could go there and work on them myself...
Out of the question!
Why do you think we returned to HQ separately?
Do you want the Asian military to find us?
Well then, I'll have a local helper arrange for substitute parts.
That way, you guys can still move.
Just keep in mind that any vigorous movements or combat
will still be difficult.
Roger that.
What now?
We're running low on food as well. Let's stop by a nearby city.
Don't forget to recharge us!
That hits the spot!
It'll take some time since we're slowly recharging to avoid detection.
But with this much camouflage, it'll be fully charged long before we're found.
Right. We'll be on alert and will be connected to your cellphones.
Okay, let's go.
O-Okay.
"Confirm your reservation"
"Confirm your reservation" "You have one room reserved"
This impresses you? You're so lame.
Give me a break! I never had to stay at a hotel when I was in Oceanian terri--
Don't mention other territories, idiot. We want to avoid suspicion.
Oh...
S-Sorry...
Anyway, why don't you two hit the showers? You both smell.
How can you tell?
Do you have an odor detection sensor?
I can tell from other people's reactions.
Hurry up and wash yourselves. Don't forget to clean your clothes, too.
I don't smell. I don't smell. I don't smell.
I don't smell. I don't smell. I don't smell.
I don't smell!
"Scratch Kitchen: Taotao"
"Scratch Kitchen: Taotao" I'm glad we were able to grab some stuff, too.
I'm glad we were able to grab some stuff, too.
Yeah. Ms. Misuzu left us a message.
Looks like the parts are ready. We'll go pick them up tomorrow.
Okay.
Thank you for the food!
It's been a while since I had a decent meal.
You don't like those?
Gashin's a picky eater. Not only does he hate carrots and peppers,
but he also refuses to eat cucumbers or eggplants as well.
You're like a kid.
What?!
S-Sorry...
I never had a lot of friends, so I don't know what to do in moments like these.
It's like I don't know how friendly or distant I should be...
Don't feel bad, Amou!
Gashin's only glaring to hide his embarrassment.
Yeah, that's right! There's nothing he can say because it's true!
Shut up.
Feel free to call these things out, Amou.
Gashin doesn't listen to me anymore, but maybe if it comes from a friend...
But he's not really the listening type!
You need to shut up.
This is payback for calling Amou lame!
What?!
Mark my words! If you bully the Japanese people like this ever again,
I, no, Kenbu will make sure that you're crushed!
We'll be watching your every move!
Thanks to this video, the AFTE is under international scrutiny.
They're trying to put out the fires, but it'll take some time.
The revolutionary hero, huh?
This is great. Just great, don't you think, Oliver?
Sir?
I was getting bored of coastal security. Now we can have an all-out battle.
Afterall, we now have just cause: save the Japanese people from oppression.
We can blame everything on the Asian military even if we go a little overboard.
I can't wait. Every cell in my body is tap dancing with joy.
So you have a plan then?
Yes. We'll attack the AFTE territory and make it our bridgehead.
Make the necessary arrangements.
Yes, sir.
The smell of blood and smoke is the highlight of a battlefield.
"East Bound City Line B"
Look.
The city of AFTE and the city where Japanese people live.
Pleasure and control versus poverty and slavery...
This is the current state of Japan.
One day, I'm going to change this. That's a promise.
Yeah.
"Hayasemura" "Kokugakusen" "Hakuryu" "Taku"
"Hayasemura" "Kokugakusen" "Hakuryu" "Taku" This is the place.
Welcome!
You know the AFTE laws. I can't sell any liquor to kids.
We're running an errand.
Doesn't matter. A guardian needs to be present.
Hattan Nishiki. C10M koji starter. Brewery kit.
It should be under the name Maki Misuzu.
Wait there.
What's going on?
Most helpers have a front.
That was a cipher, a secret code.
We ask for them to gather intel, or ship and store supplies.
That's how our organization works.
Here they are. Oof, they're heavy.
They aren't authentic parts, so they won't last.
But they should be enough to get you moving again.
Hey, you're that kid who fought the Asian military.
Uh, that was--
You were absolutely amazing!
It was a rewarding moment. We're counting on you.
Oh, of course. Thank you.
You're a celebrity.
I told you, I wasn't--
He wasn't lying when he said he's counting on you.
That's what drives us to fight.
Yeah, I get it.
Hey, is that cargo ship scheduled to be at the port today?
I'm checking now. I'm assuming it was cleared if it's there, but...
We're under attack by the Oceanian military!
How could we have allowed the enemy to infiltrate us?!
We currently have two platoons handling the situation.
I expect nothing less. Send reinforcements.
Damn the Oceanians and their sneaky tactic of masquerading as a cargo ship.
I didn't think they'd act so quickly.
Hiding behind public opinion? We'll show them.
You two! Refugees need to go this way!
Oh, but we're actually--
Just do what they say. It's over if they suspect something and check our bags.
O-Okay, got it.
Two new enemy reinforcement platoons have arrived!
Not fast enough. Plus, sending troops in increments is a foolish strategy!
Spread out the battlefront! We're going for their local command center!
Don't hold back! Destroy the enemy units!
Trample on the urban districts and march forward!
The battle is reaching the city limits.
Evacuating the Japanese people is the last thing on the Asian military's mind.
We have to do something!
Leave it to me! I'll do what I did last time, but in reverse.
In reverse?
I'll hack into their cellphones and guide them to safety.
I'll have to simultaneously analyze the map and tactical situation data, but--
Let me help.
Hey, don't push...
We'll also use the display monitors in the city. Just sit back and watch.
It's okay, don't be scared.
Hey, can you hear me?
Say something if you can.
--What...? --A lamb?
Y-Yup, a lamb. I'm a lamb. Baa.
What's your name, sweetie?
Mami.
I see! Well, Mami, I'm gonna show your mom where to go for safety.
Can you protect your mom and not let go of her hand?
Okay, I can do that!
Good. Now's your chance, go!
Keep going straight and head for the underpass.
"Culinary Festival: Gourmet Corner" "Shopping Plaza: Basement Level Entrance" Keep going straight and head for the underpass.
"Culinary Festival: Gourmet Corner" "Shopping Plaza: Basement Level Entrance" Don't worry, I'll keep giving you directions.
Don't worry, I'll keep giving you directions.
Turn right. I'll direct you again once you reach the end.
You're almost there!
How's it going?
Little by little, people are getting to safety.
But there are many more. We have to stay alert.
Dammit, there's too much data to process.
It's hogging all my resources!
We need to help, too!
Help how?
Like calling Kenbu and Jogan here to stop the fighting.
Have you forgotten that our AMAIMs aren't in any condition to fight?
Even with the parts.
Besides, it's too far out. It'll take too long for them to get here.
So we're just gonna let this happen?!
Do you think I'm happy with this situation?!
Dammit!
Crap, the frontline is drawing near the evac site!
The frontline's been breached!
The evac site will--
Leave it.
Their goal is the local command center.
We need to do everything to protect it until backup arrives.
We have guards stationed on site, right?
Yes, about two units.
Then we have our excuse.
We can turn the tables on the Oceanian military
if something happens there.
Hey, let us out of here!
They're fighting nearby, aren't they?!
I don't wanna die!
No, we haven't received our orders! Stay where you are, or else!
--Oh, no! --Step away!
Run!
Hold it right there, villains!
That AMAIM...
Is that the one Boss was talking about?
We lost communication with platoon 4!
What?!
An unidentified AMAIM is closing in on the frontline at an alarming speed!
How is it jumping so far?
Hey, now! I can't just ignore a war now, can I?!
You must be a devil to stain this peaceful city with blood!
Bring it on, I'll take you all down!
The knight in shining armor, Reiki is here!
Wh-What is that AMAIM?
Doesn't matter! Destroy them all, including that idiot!
What?!
All units, open fire!
It can fly?!
Platoons 3 and 5 have been wiped out.
We've lost 40% of our forces.
Fall back.
Statistically, this is a catastrophic defeat!
If we keep at it, we'll be dead long before we establish a bridgehead!
We have to retreat before they can cut us off. Gather the troops!
Y-Yes, sir!
Incredible...
It sure made an impression.
Looks like that AMAIM is one of ours.
What?!
It sent us the coordinates for the rendezvous point.
U-Um, thanks for what you did back there.
It was amazing! You fought off both the Oceanian and Asian military--
The one with the pigtails is Shiiba Amou, and spiky head is Tezuka Gashin?
P-Pigtails?
Spiky head?!
And their partners Gai and Kei.
I'm Angelo, an Italian gentleman that adores women and hates men.
Italian gentleman?
Has it lost its mind?
Watch your mouth. Who do you think saved your sorry butts?
You should thank me, worship me, answer at my beck and call!
Swear to me that you will give your lives to me as my underlings.
It must be an idiot.
I think its logic program is shot.
Seems like it.
Really, is the concept of "gratitude" foreign to you?
I expect better for my princess' servants.
Princess?
If you would, my princess, please come out to speak to these ignorant servants.
Who're you calling ignorant servants?!
Please grace us with your presence.
Oh, n-nice to meet you! I'm--
They already know our names, remember?
Oh, yeah.
"Episode 06: Journey"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" How dare you make my princess cry?! You'll pay for this!
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" I-I didn't do anything!
We have three MAILeS now! Our forces are growing stronger!
Keep your guard up. We picked up some movement from the North American military.
"Episode 07: The Hunt"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E07 [00p].01.eng.English

I'm sorry I just started crying back there.
I'm so embarrassed...
Don't worry about it. We actually owe you, so thanks.
They sent me to help with the fighting that erupted nearby. I'm glad I did okay.
Oh! I never introduced myself! I'm Shishibe Shion. Nice to meet you.
N-Nice to meet you.
Um...
Gashin, say something!
This isn't important.
Anyway, that move you did back there was so cool!
I used to take naginata lessons when I was a kid,
and thanks to our AMAIM, I'm able to fly.
I was just a bit scared since this was my first actual fight.
Your first?
I used to be Yatagarasu's helper to support their movement.
But this one told me I'd be a good pilot.
I have good foresight.
I bet she was just your type.
I think you're right.
Sure, that accounts for 100% of my reasoning.
That was your only reason?!
Who cries just because it's their first fight?
Tezuka!
I'm sorry...
Unlike you, my princess is a delicate flower, you dumbass!
What?
Stop it, Nayuta.
Nayuta?
I thought you said your name's Angelo.
Nayuta is an alias I use to keep a low profile. Angelo is my soul's name.
Do you get it?
Not at all...
I don't expect a simple AI to comprehend my logic algorithm.
That's it, you're going down!
Bring it!
This is Captain Brad Watt and Warrant Officer Raymond Hardy, reporting for duty.
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
I specifically called you here because our intelligence team has located Ghost.
Take a look.
Past records prove that
Ghost is an unmanned unit with an autonomous AI.
The Japanese terrorists seem to also possess similar AIs,
but their procurement method is unknown.
However, its combat ability is extremely impressive.
No one, including the North American, Asian, Eurasian, and Oceanian military,
has succeeded in the practical applications of an autonomous AI.
To gain the upper hand, the top brass wants to obtain it at any cost.
We need you to capture or destroy Ghost.
Destroy, sir?
To stop others from obtaining it instead.
Ghost is currently hiding in Asian territory.
But the Asian military has their hands full with the Oceanians, leaving us open.
This is our chance. Pick your own team and figure out a plan. Got it?
Understood, sir!
It's been a while, Brad.
You should consider going home during your next leave.
Your mother wants to see you.
I understand, Father.
You're going to cram every job there is into your schedule, aren't you?
During your next leave.
By the time I'm done with one mission, another takes its place.
It is what it is.
I still can't get used to this.
I haven't been to Tokyo in two years, but it's changed so much.
Hey, since we're here, why don't we stop by somewhere?
"Taiyaki"
"Taiyaki" A taiyaki shop?
"Taiyaki" I guarantee you it's the best in the country. It's delicious.
"Taiyaki" Thank you for waiting.
I think you gave me too much.
It's our way of saying thank you to the North American Confederation.
This is nothing compared to the hard work you do to restore our country.
Thank you.
"Restoration of Japan" sounds nice, but in reality,
most of Tokyo, including the land and buildings,
is under the control of our military, government,
or companies associated to NAC.
Even Japan's defense system is under our command.
Gaining back autonomy while its capital is still under the controls of NAC...
It will slowly but surely result in the colonization of Japan.
Captain, keep your voice down.
Do they not understand this, or are they turning a blind eye?
It's even possible that Japan would become a new state.
Are you against that?
I suppose, if it means not being able to eat these treats anymore.
Yes, they're certainly delicious.
What did I tell you?
It's not that I don't want to go home.
As you're aware, I'm an adopted son of Deputy Commander Spears.
There were other children like me in his household.
But I was never able to fit in like they were able to.
I've had many sleepless nights.
One day, Father took me to the base
and I saw an AMAIM for the first time.
I couldn't help but admire it.
I snuck into the cockpit
and was finally able to sleep soundly.
That was the first time since the day I was adopted by the Spears family.
Is that why you prefer manned AMAIMs?
I'm not sure, but it certainly makes up a core part of who I am as a soldier.
All right, let's get to work.
Why do we have to stay at a hotel?
We can't let my princess camp out. Besides, this is perfect for her.
It's a waste of money.
I'm sorry...
Gashin, you should learn a thing or two about empathy.
What?
Now that there are three AMAIMs, it's got me wondering where they come from.
No other militaries have anything like them.
A company called Brenson Corp provides goods and services to the Resistance.
Apparently, their HQ's in Europe, but who knows?
It's an off-the-record company.
Can they be trusted?
So far, we've never had any problems. They've been extremely cooperative.
Is that where you two were developed, too?
No, we, I-LeS, were developed by a different institution.
I-LeS?
Intelligence Learning System.
An AI system capable of learning on its own.
"Autonomous AI" is close enough.
"MAILeS" is what Yatagarasu and Brenson Corp call AMAIMs with I-LeS.
I see...
I took a look at Gai's source code, and I saw a few similarities with ours.
Huh?
Each developer has their own particular way of writing code,
so it's safe to say we were created by the same person.
But I don't know why Gai was discarded in Oceanian territory.
So you're like siblings?
Right you are.
That's so depressing.
--Hey, that's my line! --Ow! You're dead meat!
Stop fighting in such a tight space.
Play nice.
Jeez...
I wonder if Gai wants to know how it ended up in that place?
Not really. It's not like knowing the reason will change anything.
Besides, I like the situation I found myself in.
We're besties, after all!
Yeah.
First Lieutenant Roger Young and Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis,
reporting for duty!
Thank you for coming.
Frankly, I'm not happy with this mission, sir.
Second Lieutenant...
Ghost is dangerous, so why risk lives by sending in manned AMAIMs?
Wouldn't unmanned AMAIMs be sufficient?
That would require an entire troop.
Even with their hands full, the Asian military won't let us slip by.
That's why I picked just two of our best pilots. Only a select few are going.
I can make it work!
Second Lieutenant!
I know you're good.
You won the Tactical Simulation Match twice in a row, yes?
But you can prove your worth later.
Follow my lead on this one.
If you can't, there may never be a next time.
This way. Let's start our strategy meeting.
Let's go. We need to get to HQ by today.
Okay.
The interference around here is strong, so the Asian military won't find us.
Are you two nervous?
Just a little.
Absolutely not.
That's reassuring, but keep your guard up. We're up against a formidable enemy.
Our operatives will cut off the power to the cave where Ghost is hiding.
At the same time, we'll blow up all the exits except one.
It's time.
Without power, it'll eventually run out of energy if it tries to wait us out.
It'll have no choice but to come out from the only remaining exit.
Even if it knows it's a trap.
Do you think this'll work?
Yes. Ghost is extremely violent and aggressive. It won't think twice.
We're in place.
Activate!
Dropping off the AMAIMs.
Nice to meet you, Ghost. I'm here for your head.
Stick to the script! Fan out!
Its armor's tough!
Don't think we're playing dirty by ganging up on you, Ghost.
Numbers have always been important in wars.
It's hesitating.
It probably doesn't have much combat experience against manned AMAIMs.
It hasn't formulated combat patterns for this kind of battle.
Now's our chance!
Roger that!
You're not getting away!
Warrant Officer Hardy!
--What?! --Second Lieutenant!
Launching seekers!
A jamming feature?!
Tech!
I'm going to borrow this!
What?!
Purge left arm!
First Lieutenant!
I'm fine!
Wh-What kind of robot is that?! Our intel never said anything about that feature!
Even its movements are insane! It pretended to target me, but--
It was actually trying to lure me out?
Is it already learning how to combat people and play mind games?
If that's true, this is going to be tricky.
What is it?
I don't know. I thought I heard something.
Me, too. Did anyone else hear it?
--No. --Nope.
No.
I didn't detect any suspicious audio data.
Did we imagine it?
Okay, we'll switch at the next block.
R-Right.
This is crazy!
It's impervious to our attacks.
It's improving.
It's growing stronger as time goes on... What a monster!
Let's go! We need to create an opening for them!
No, don't get too close!
Did we do it?!
It highjacked them?!
Dammit, how is it doing that?!
Roger!
First Lieutenant!
Ray, Sofia, can you grant me access to your AMAIMs?
It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but...
I understand. It's just like old times.
We'll do as you say. I owe you my life.
Thank you. We're going all-in to win this fight!
Amazing... He's evading the enemy's attacks with such precision...
This is how he commands.
Depending on the situation, the pilot's judgement is prioritized.
I bet the combat AIs wouldn't think to use guns like this.
Charge in!
Yes, sir!
You're mine!
Second Lieutenant!
What?! From the ground?!
Ghost!
Roger...
His AI was just barely functioning. It was only enough for one shot, but...
I'm sorry, Roger. I may have tarnished your death, but...
I swear on your honor...
...that I'm going to kill Ghost!
What?!
It's using the last aircraft!
Damn you, Ghost!
I promise to beat you and capture you!
Remember my name, Brad Watt!
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Udou Kiryu, the head of Yatagarasu.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming.
Gashin, Shion, we appreciate your hard work.
It was no problem...
Sorry to immediately get down to business, but I'd like you to meet someone.
He is our liaison to Brenson Corp.
I'm just a salesperson.
Hello, it's great to meet the young pilots of Yatagarasu.
I'm German Gobert.
I'd like to establish a good relationship with you.
Let's keep this business of war thriving, shall we?

Oh, all right.
I just want you to know that we're not only interested in fighting.

"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E08 [00p].01.eng.English

Is that...?
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Let me reintroduce myself. I'm German Gobert, a salesperson from Brenson Corp.
Our company can provide you with anything that's war-related.
I'll be around for a few days, so please let me know if you need anything.
I actually came to deliver the new armor,
but I asked if I could meet you.
It's an honor to meet the pilots Yatagarasu prides themselves in.
I heard great things about you. I'm glad Yatagarasu is in good hands.
The Resistance needs all the help we can get.
You know, I would love it if you would join us to see the new armor.
I do hope it meets your expectations.
Kenbu has a newly engineered arm,
while grenade launchers were added to Jogan
along with a 45mm rapid fire handgun.
They're all cutting edge close-combat equipment.
The handgun is housed in a weapon rack, just like with Kenbu.
The grenade launchers are installed on both shoulders,
capable of launching various grenades while acting as a shield.
The new arm on Kenbu has retractable claws installed,
which uses the same super thermal vibration technology as the combat sword.
How is it engineered to counter-balance claws that size?
No battery pack means it's being directly powered by the robot.
That means I can fight without worrying about battery power. I see...
You have eyes for the geeky stuff.
It's me.
I see. All right, I'll be there.
Yes, please take care of them until we arrive.
Did something happen?
Do you want to tag along?
People really live here.
According to the records, this village was deserted 20 years ago.
It should be abandoned.
This is our chairman who I spoke to you about.
Nice to meet you. I'm Udou.
I'm Fudou Yuuji, the elder of the Fudou family that resides here.
Thank you for meeting us.
Not at all. Kumai has explained your situation to me.
This is the data pertaining to the Fudou family we created.
I see. So, there are currently nine people living here?
Yes, for about a week.
We have no water or electricity, but at least we have shelter...
Daddy!
--Daddy?! --Y-You didn't tell me...
C-Congratulations!
N-No!
What?
Stop that, Riko! I'm sorry, she lost her father when she was a baby,
so she does this to people sometimes. Please excuse her.
It's fine...
We're about to run out of food, but we can get water and fish from the river.
We're all working together to make due.
Riko's good at finding mushrooms!
I can start a fire!
Why go through so much trouble to stay here?
Our city turned into a war zone.
We stayed at an evacuation center, but that was shut down, too.
We had no choice but to go back, but it was completely destroyed.
Same goes for our relatives, and we barely made it to this abandoned village.
It's a tough life, but we'll be safe from the war here.
We plan on staying here for the safety of our family.
I see.
But you don't have electricity or water, and are running low on food.
That's right.
Is there anything we can do to help?
What?
It's only natural for us to help out our friends who lost so much in the war.
Thank you so much!
Yay! I get to live with Daddy!
We really do give people a helping hand...
Fighting isn't the only thing Yatagarasu does.
Helping those who lost their homes in the war
will also lead to the restoration of Japan.
That's what the chairman believes in.
Our mission here is to improve their living environment.
They're short on water, electricity, food, everything.
Water and electricity have been cut off, so we need to think of an alternative.
Should we pull water from the river?
It's pretty far away.
How about digging a well?
Maybe, but it'll have to be pretty deep.
What about electricity?
Solar panels are too expensive...
The geography here prevents the use of wind power, though.
Thermal power is gonna be tough, too.
That leaves us with hydraulic power?
What to do...
Okay, we have a plan!
We'll break into three teams to build a well, waterwheel, and farmland!
Yes, sir!
Ah, I found the motor and battery! It should run if we can fix them up.
It needs to be repaired? Can you do it?
Yes!
An excavator, building materials... Are you sure about this?
There's no money in charity, you know?
Of course! It's to protect the Japanese people.
Well, we're grateful to have any business.
I'll arrange everything to be delivered by tomorrow.
I appreciate you procuring things outside your domain.
Not at all. We're in this together. Thank you for the payment.
Aren't you in a good mood?
Huh? Oh, well, it's been a while since I tinkered.
Let me know if you need help.
Thanks.
You're Atsushi, right? It's beautiful outside!
What do you want? I'm busy.
Don't be like that! We're shorthanded.
Huh? Hey! Wait a minute!
Why do I have to do this?
Look at you! Have you done this before?
I-I won the championship in the plasterwork eSports division.
I see. No wonder you're so good at it.
It's nothing...
Let's fix the floors after this!
Huh?!
Let's drill the well around here.
Okay.
Hey, your daughter's here, Daddy!
I'm working right now.
Mm...
It's delicious.
Yeah! Even more so after a hard day's work!
Thank you for the food!
Why don't you guys start eating, too?
--All right! --I'm starving...
Thank you so much for helping.
Please, this is the least I can do.
Mommy is a chef!
Oh, is that so?
How can you be so delicate with machine maintenance but so bad with rice balls?
Stop being picky!
Riko loves carrots!
Aw, you're such a good girl, Riko. It makes our effort worthwhile.
Isn't this delicious?
Yeah! I want Salisbury steak tomorrow!
What? D-Don't be silly!
All right! We'll do what we can!
--What?! --Woohoo!
I'm so sorry about that...
Please, don't be.
We are truly thankful for everything.
It's been a while since I've seen my family smiling...
This place is going to be their new home.
I want them to grow up to be strong people, taking pride in being Japanese.
Wow, ex-champ! Great work, down to the wire!
Thanks! It's a little trickier than doing it with a controller.
Yeah?
But it feels great to actually work hard!
This is the last of it.
Thanks, Amou.
Okay, we'll take these up. Amou, could you clean up?
The small pieces will be for firewood?
--Yup! --Thanks, kid!
Of course!
Um, did you need something, Ms. Shishibe?
You can call me Shion, Amou.
Oh, okay then, Shion... What is it?
See that over there?
What is it?
I think it's a round kiln. The previous villagers must've been using it.
Huh.
It'd be a shame to waste it, so I was thinking of repairing it.
Maybe it can be used to bake bread, pizza, or ceramics.
Ceramics?
Oh, my grandpa was a potter.
We lost our kiln, but I plan on bringing it back!
Um, I could help with the repair, if you want?
Really?!
Of course.
Hey.
Whatcha doing?
Doing?
We're fixing the kiln.
Kiln?
It's like an old-fashioned oven.
You can bake lots of things, like bread, pizza, even bowls and plates!
Really?! Taku had lots of pretty plates, didn't you?
Yeah, but we lost them all...
Why don't you two make your own, then?
Huh?
I'll show you how.
Woohoo!
Sounds fun!
Wow, that's so cool!
Cool!
Okay, then. Shall we start?
Yup, looks good! Good quality clay, too.
Lemme try!
Me, too!
Let's do it!
Once it's dry and we finish the biscuit firing, let's paint them too.
Okay!
All the materials are installed. How's it looking over here?
We're just waiting for the waterworks.
I'm ready!
The connection looks good!
All right, I'm gonna turn it on!
It's moving smoothly! Great!
--Is it working? --Heck yeah!
This is the good...
...stuff...?
What's wrong?
It's not generating enough.
What?
This isn't enough electricity to support the people living here.
What do we do?
We can add another wheel, or make it bigger?
It hit the bedrock.
I figured the hardness would be softer, but this is unexpected.
Oh-oh. Is there a hiccup here?
According to my measurements, the bedrock is about two meters deep.
It has little cracks and the rocks are packed tight.
It'll be hard to drill through.
But we also know there's a water vein right below it.
The flow amount is expected to be 100 liters per minute! That's plenty.
Yeah, but we can't get through the bedrock, right?
I didn't say we can't.
We can use explosives, but it could cause a cave-in.
We can't take that risk! Isn't there a safer way?
We just need to get a pipe through that can pump the water up, right?
Right.
Then, how about this?
What about now?
Well, it's better than before, but still isn't enough.
--Misuzu's back. --Hey!
We need you to come over.
Cool, right?
Ms. Misuzu, you're so awesome!
I'm gonna call it the "Laser and Pile Bunker Docking Machine"!
Sounds super cool, right?!
Why are you naming it?
It's also lame...
What?!
So we first melt the bedrock with the laser, and then use the pile bunker?
Yup.
Amou, you use the pile bunker!
Why me?!
I'm not gonna operate it if you won't do it! Period! End of story!
Hmph!
What are you saying?
Hey!
Future missions may be affected if he continues to pout.
Don't worry, we'd have your back if something were to happen.
So immature.
Let's do this! Point one!
Huh? What?
Let's! Do! This! Point one!
Laser output at 85%.
Adjusting tilt angle to 12 degrees. Emit beam for ten seconds.
Point two!
Laser output at 93%. Tilt angle to eight degrees.
Emit beam for eight seconds.
Moving on to point three.
Point four.
Point five.
Point six.
Emit beam at the last point!
Amou! Do your thing!
"Audio Input" Amou! Do your thing!
Audio input?!
That's right! Here's your line!
Come on! Lemme hear you roar!
Amou!
Attack, Pile Bunker!
Attack, Pile Bunker...?
Amou, I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff.
Th-That's not it...
We've got more than enough water flow!
This is gonna work. Okay!
I'm good, too!
Oh yeah, here it comes!
The amount of power generated has sky-rocketed!
Okay, whenever you're ready!
You wanna do it?
Okay. One, two, three!
Thanks to everyone, we have a future now.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
The ceramics are done!
The fruits of your labor!
"Gashin" "Me"
Wow! The firing really worked!
It's so cute!
I'm glad you like them!
Daddy! Let's eat dinner together with this plate!
We're having stew for dinner. It'd be hard to eat on a plate.
That's okay! And this time, eat your carrots.
We should go, too.
Right!
"Episode 08: Path to Recovery"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Building homes was great, wasn't it, Amou?
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Yeah, I had a great time. I really do love making things.
It's not bad.
Hey, that person's been staring at you forever, Tezuka. Do you know him?
"Episode 09: Autonomous City"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E09 [00p].01.eng.English

Have I been making the wrong decisions?
That time...?
That other time?
Will I make the wrong decision again?
Okay, that should be everything for the first delivery.
You can catch the next vehicle arriving around 4pm to get back to HQ.
All right.
Does shopping for supplies always go like this?
Today was mainly just personal stuff for our members.
No wonder we had such a long shopping list.
Are you Gashin...?
I knew it! It's been so long, Gashin!
Big brother Yuu!
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
You're so big now.
You've grown into a handsome guy.
You, in a suit... I almost didn't recognize you.
I look good, right?
I'm so glad we bumped into each other.
Is he Tezuka's big brother?
He never said anything about having any siblings,
but I've never seen him look like that.
His name is Suenaga Yuusei.
Kei?
He used to live in Yatagarasu HQ with his parents.
Both of his parents died in a battle against the Asian military.
Gashin's father looked after him,
so he and Gashin were raised like brothers.
Three years ago, Yuusei left Yatagarasu without a word.
At the time, Gashin was feeling really down.
I didn't know...
Oh, look at the time.
Sorry, I have to be somewhere.
Can I get your contact info?
Yeah.
I'll call you later. Let's grab a bite or something.
Okay.
Hey, good job!
Thank you for your hard work. Did anything happen while you were out?
I saw Yuu.
You saw Yuusei?! Really?!
How is he?
He was wearing a suit.
Him, wearing a suit?!
I would've liked to have seen that.
He looked pretty good.
Tezuka should smile like that more often.
I agree.
Be nice...
Hard copies? That's rare.
The data's gone, and this print-out's all that's left.
That was around the time you and Yuusei almost got lost in the mountains.
You know about that?
The data was transferred over to me.
I'll never forget that day.
Back then, Yuu and I explored the nearby mountains all the time.
One day, we lost our way and couldn't get home.
"No service" "5% remaining" Our cell phones didn't work because of electromagnetic interference.
I was so scared, but Yuu, he just...
It'll be okay. I'll protect you no matter what.
I'm your big brother. You can trust me.
Yuu...
From that moment, Yuu became my brother even if we weren't related by blood.
Hey, how are the new weapons?
Not bad. There's little recoil and they're easy to handle.
But the bullet loses its stability at mid-range.
I wonder if it was designed for short-ranged combat.
I'll adjust what I can.
Thanks.
You got it.
Gashin, you got a text message from Yuusei.
Sorry we just tagged along.
No worries. I wanted Gashin's friends to see this, too.
They're not my friends.
Let it go.
So, what did you want to show us?
A city I've built for the Japanese people.
It was delicious.
Are all the residents who live here Japanese?
Yes. Not one person is from the AFTE here.
It's unofficial, but it's a small city with a population of 3,482.
The Japanese people are allowed a degree of autonomy here.
And I'm the mayor of this autonomous city.
An autonomous city...
That's amazing...
Oh, Mayor.
Hello!
Thanks for your help the other day.
"Kimono Shop" Thanks for your help the other day.
"Kimono Shop" It was nothing.
"Kimono Shop" Just don't push yourself too hard,
"Kimono Shop" or you'll hurt your hip again.
Yes, of course. I'll be careful.
Looks like he's well-liked.
Looks like it.
Mommy!
What's wrong? Did you get separated from your mom?
Oh, it'll be okay. Don't worry.
It'll be okay.
Oh, I'm sorry! I just looked away for a few seconds and she...
--Mommy! --Don't scare me like that!
I'm glad you found your mom.
Thank you so much, Mayor!
Bye-bye!
My wish is for all our residents to feel safe living here.
I believe the Japanese people could be protected without sacrificing anyone.
That's why I left Yatagarasu.
What do you mean?
I wanted to go in a different direction.
Yatagarasu chose to fight, but I wanted to try another approach.
That's why you created this autonomous city.
I had to put in a lot of effort, you know?
It was negotiation after negotiation with the Asian military.
My goal is to have this city grow larger.
I want to spread the word about the success of this area to everyone.
That's my plan.
Mayor, there you are.
Oh, I didn't realize the time.
Sorry, I'm needed elsewhere.
I'll talk to you later. Feel free to walk around the city.
He seems busy.
Yeah.
Are you friends with the mayor?
You should stop by my shop.
Here, take this. He takes such good care of us.
U-Um, we're not really...
They gave us so much.
I kinda feel bad.
He really did build this city.
The Asian military allowing an autonomous city is unheard of.
He kept his tone light, but he must've worked really hard for it.
"Yuu"
Thanks for coming over.
Is this where you work?
Don't stare so much.
Even an illusion of authority is important in negotiation.
"Autonomous City Bun" Even an illusion of authority is important in negotiation.
"Autonomous City Bun" You didn't have to give me anything. The residents gave us plenty.
You didn't have to give me anything. The residents gave us plenty.
That's just an excuse. I wanted to talk to you alone.
I'll be direct.
What do you think about leaving Yatagarasu to live here, Gashin?
The number of residents is restricted, so it isn't easy to bring people in.
But I can negotiate with the military if it's just you, a member of my family.
I should be able to get their approval.
No, I will get it.
What do you think?
What are you saying? You think--
I don't want you shooting guns.
I want us to live in this city, together, in peace.
Together?
Yes, together.
You don't have to give me an answer right away.
I want you to think hard about it before answering.
Oh? Is Gashin not with you?
He said he's not hungry.
He seemed off ever since he came back.
Yeah...
Probably some teenage angst.
Just out of nowhere?
Aren't all humans like that?
You're our client's important pilot.
I cannot idly stand by and make light of this situation.
What's this about?
Tread carefully.
Suenaga Yuusei... He's an Asian military spy.
What did you say?!
Intel is part our business, too.
And we guarantee its accuracy.
If you want, intel on nearby Asian military locations is yours.
With the right amount of money, that is.
Suenaga Yuusei worked for the Asian military to build that autonomous city.
He confiscated lands, leaked intel, exposed renegades,
conducted bribery, sometimes even bordering on blackmail.
He sold the Japanese people out to protect the Japanese people.
If you stay in contact,
he'll leak any info on Yatagarasu to the Asian military.
That'll result in a loss of a brilliant pilot and an important client for us.
We'd like to avoid that.
You think I'd believe you?
I can dig deeper, if you'd like?
That's not necessary.
We can keep this talk just between the two of us.
As a gesture of goodwill.
Gashin...
You were listening, right? I don't want you to tell the others.
I understand...
I don't believe him.
Is Gashin all right?
He's been like that since his father died.
He gets out of control whenever we try to drag him outside.
He refuses to eat.
If he keeps this up...
How long are you gonna stay there?
Go away, you're not wanted.
I'm not leaving.
Go away.
I'm not leaving.
Go away!
Why are you crying?
I'm your big brother,
so I'll cry with you when you feel like crying.
That's why I'm not leaving. We're in this together!
Yuu would never do something so stupid...
I'll find out the truth myself.
I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
I didn't notice the other day,
but you can see signs of wear and tear all around.
Everything's a little rundown outside of the central area.
Is that road still not fixed?
The bridge over there is still out, too.
It's been three months already.
"Enorei Drug Store" It's been three months already.
"Enorei Drug Store" You still don't have my medicine?
I'm sorry...
We placed the order, but it's not getting delivered.
Could you ask your doctor if another drug can be substituted?
That's right, there's not enough baby formula and diapers for us.
We're only getting by because a friend gave us some.
Household goods are short in supply and they're also expensive.
Lots of stores are staying closed, too.
I wish they would do something about that.
I know.
Humans will always wish for more.
The living standards of the people here are high.
But once they're accustomed to it,
they start complaining about something else.
That vehicle belongs to the Asian military...
Gashin, there are only autonomous government buildings over there.
What?! That wasn't our agreement!
Rumor has it you're experiencing shipment issues.
If all goes well, I promise you this city will be prioritized for all shipments.
Your food and medicine shortage will be over.
We'll also expedite any bridge and road repair work.
Don't get the wrong idea.
This autonomous city is unofficial.
You need to understand that we're also going out on a limb here.
I understand.
Use the regular method to let us know of your findings.
All right.
Gashin?
Yuu, about what we talked about, I don't--
That's not what I want to talk to you about.
We have an emergency. I can't talk on the phone.
Can I meet you in person?
Sure, I'm actually in the city now. I'll head over to your place.
Let's meet outside the autonomous city instead. I'll send you the map data.
Okay, see you then.
Sorry about this. Hop in.
You said you needed to speak to me immediately. You sounded desperate.
Yes. As you know, I've negotiated with the Asian military
to build an autonomous city for the Japanese people.
Because of that connection, I sometimes come across certain information.
And what did you learn?
The Asian military is planning a search- and-destroy operation against Yatagarasu.
Geographically, our autonomous city
is likely to be occupied so they can build a rear base.
I want you to leave this area before that happens.
My proposal should benefit us both.
Please consider it.
Mr. Suenaga was here.
Yeah, I wonder what brought him here?
Do you two know something?
N-Nothing! We don't know anything!
Th-That's right! Kei didn't tell us anything!
Kei didn't tell us about the Asian military or that Suenaga is an Asian--
--Huh?! --Idiot!
You two...
--They hid! --Gai! Nayuta!
Thank you for this valuable information, but you needn't worry.
Meaning...?
We'll be leaving for another location in two weeks' time.
You're worried over nothing.
I-I'm glad to hear that, but where will you be going?
That's a question better left unanswered.
Don't worry, I promise you it's nowhere near here.
Thank you so much.
You should hang out a little longer since it's been a while.
I don't want to impose.
Huh?
Looks like a bad inverter and motor.
Your car's quite the vintage.
It's probably cheaper to buy a new one than to repair this.
I don't have that kind of money.
Can we fix it?
Maybe by tomorrow morning, but even then, it may not be 100%.
Why don't you stay the night, since it won't be fixed until the morning?
Are you okay with that?
Yes.
I'll take you up on your offer, then.
Stop.
You weren't expecting a jamming signal covering this entire area, where you?
You rigged your car so the motor would break down.
You're good. You fooled our maintenance guy.
You knew?
I wanted to believe you would never do such a thing.
I didn't have a choice.
I know.
Then let me go!
I wasn't lying when I said we should live together.
Yeah, I know.
By the way, the additional resident you requested?
I'll make an exception and grant that as well.
At first, it started with just giving them small bits of intel.
But they started demanding more, and then it was too late to turn back.
I just wanted to protect someone.
The data you stole has our relocation destination and blueprint.
It's only a matter of who will be the victims
if the Asian military gets that data.
I have my hands full protecting my autonomous city!
I know people are complaining!
But that place is still my utopia!
Put the gun down.
Gashin!
It's true, we're moving our HQ.
But it's in a few days, not two weeks.
Our destination's completely different from what's in that data.
It'll take about half a day to get to a city with reception.
The military will then have to analyze the data you send.
It'll be another few days for them to arrange and deploy troops.
By that time, we'd be long gone and back into hiding.
So Mr. Udou and Mr. Kumai...
They were in on it after I explained the situation.
Looks like I've been played.
You completed your mission when you stole our intel.
You can explain to them that we moved quickly and were very careful.
I never imagined I'd be at your mercy.
I'll lose the Asian military's trust.
Three years of hard work will go down the drain.
Yuu...
Never call me that again!
Shoot me if you want. I'm not going to give up so easily.
I'm not like you. I'm doing this my way.
No matter how dirty my hands get.
Is this another mistake?
"Episode 09: Autonomous City"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Tezuka seemed down...
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Yeah. Mr. Suenaga was gone before anyone realized it.
Yeah, well, it'll be fine.
That's right. Anyway, we have a new mission.
--A mission? --Yup, and it'll be quite the challenge.
"Episode 10: Expedition"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E10 [00p].01.eng.English

Tohoku, huh? I've never been.
Me neither.
These days, it's unthinkable to travel between different territories.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm surprised we were able to procure a huge ship on such short notice.
Just how well-connected is Mr. Gobert...?
This is about a client of ours located in the Tohoku area.
They're also a resistance organization,
but the Eurasian military is about to wipe them off the face of the earth.
We're asking you to rescue them.
Of course, you will be compensated accordingly.
Even if we've never met our distant brothers, we can't just abandon them.
The plan is to head to our new HQ in separate groups.
You'll be using that between-time to conduct the rescue mission. Is that okay?
I'm good with that.
Me, too.
Understood.
That's great news. We'll take care of the ship.
Good luck.
Thank you!
Something's been off with Tezuka lately.
I think something happened with Mr. Suenaga, but...
I'm sure he'll talk to us eventually.
Yeah.
It's so cold...
There it is. We're almost there.
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Immersing myself in never-ending, beautiful music,
while enjoying the rich aroma of Russian tea...
I live for luxurious moments like this. It makes me feel alive.
I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Major Zelenoy.
Care to join me, First Lieutenant Lvov?
We're still on a mission.
Changing the command room to your liking...
Your environment plays a vital role in generating creative ideas.
Although, you don't need creativity to chase away pesky rodents.
My brain is refusing to function.
What about our soldiers' orders?
They already have them. Combat AIs can take care of the rest.
Continue with plan B2. Team Alpha, advance first.
Team Gamma, Team Delta, flank the sides.
Surround the enemy troops.
Yes, ma'am!
Damn these guys!
There's no end to them! Conserve your ammo and retreat!
We'll be crushed at this rate!
Mr. Konno! They're behind us, too!
Damn, we're surrounded!
Good job. You didn't miss once.
Looks like Ms. Misuzu's adjustments worked like a charm.
Tezuka!
The enemy units are completely exposed.
I'm not seeing any command vehicles or units.
Roger that. Amou!
The Eurasian military is known for their numbers, but their AMAIMs are inferior!
Destroy them all in one go!
Got it!
Good work, my princess!
Thanks! I was so nervous.
Mr. Konno, are those AMAIMs...?
The rescue team we requested!
There're so many of them!
We broke through their formation! Let's retreat!
Roger that!
We lost them?!
We're sorry. Unidentified AMAIMs came out of nowhere...
We believe they're the ones spotted in the AFTE territory.
We'll send over the photos.
Major!
This just got more interesting.
Let's go. I want to take them on myself.
You can't be serious?!
So they passed the first stage.
I expected nothing less.
If they can't carry out a mission this easy,
as an investor, we'd have to reevaluate them.
Are you sure about this?
About Gashin and them?
I know Gashin's been feeling down because of what happened with Yuusei.
I sent them off in hopes that he'd get back into a more positive mind frame,
but it might have been too soon to throw him into combat.
Don't worry. I told them to look after themselves first.
Let's have faith in them.
Right...
Thank you. I'm Konno from Arahabaki.
I'm Tezuka from Yatagarasu.
We came under Brenson Corp's request.
Is this everybody?
Yeah.
We were originally one of the largest organizations in East Tohoku,
but ever since Alexei Zelenoy took command, we...
He comes from a noble family in Russia.
Using his wealth and power, his style is quantity over quality.
We were no match for the overwhelming number of troops he sent our way.
In the blink of an eye, our numbers dropped. We're the only survivors.
We lost more on our way here.
We understand the situation.
What can we do to help?
We need help reaching the east side.
If we can break through their encirclement and get across the Ou Mountains,
we can reach the East Tohoku area.
Another organization will be waiting for us there.
Providing you with an escape route was also part of the arrangement.
Understood.
We need to prepare by researching the surrounding geography and stuff.
Agreed.
We need a good understanding of the environment we're in,
but we don't have time. We'd like to split up and investigate.
All right, we'll lead the way. It'll have to be on foot, though.
No problem.
We'll handle recording the data.
I'll rush to your rescue if something happens.
Don't worry, my princess.
Thanks, I'm counting on you!
You have pretty eyes.
I was born and raised in Japan,
but I have East European blood in me as well.
Anyway, I never imagined a girl my age would be coming to our rescue.
I'm so happy.
Me, too.
Hey, we should be friends.
I'd love that!
I think that should do it.
Yeah. If we go any further, the Eurasian military might spot us.
If we combine our data, we should have enough to calculate an escape route.
What's that?
Oh, that's a device the enemy commander had installed.
It's a sensor that detects AMAIMs or combat vehicles.
Several wireless units are placed around the base unit, sending signals.
If anything is detected, the Eurasian military comes rushing in.
They don't respond to people, but they're placed all over the area.
Unplugging them won't do any good since the loss of signal is also communicated.
It's getting foggy.
Fog?
Fog easily forms because of the terrain here.
That's probably why the Eurasian military installed those sensors.
Hey, Gai. Do you think we can use this?
Yeah, I was just thinking the same exact thing.
I'm against this.
We already have the upper hand. There's no need to put yourself in danger.
Are you saying I'd lose?
I'm saying a commander should sit back, calm and dignified.
However, Dahlia--
What was that for?
Me?! I don't want to have to scratch my eyes out!
We've seen each other naked on numerous other occasions.
When we were little!
So you should know how I am, then.
Yes... You lose sight of everything else once you focus on something.
When we were learning to ride,
you wanted the challenge of riding an unruly horse,
only to fall off and break a bone.
Right when we joined the military, you took interest in munitions,
coming very close to causing a major catastrophe.
Really, you're like a little brother who's a handful.
Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore.
I only wish to claim the honor I want, the way I want.
That's what motivates me!
And that's why you're a child.
Don't be nervous, my princess. I'm here for you.
R-Right...
How's the system?
All good. We're ready when you are.
We're sorry, but we have to borrow your AMAIMs.
It's fine. We need it to escape.
All right, we're gonna go.
Okay!
Be careful.
Human wave tactics are very effective.
Many continued its use until it was considered obsolete.
Let your guard down, and that wave will swallow you whole!
Got it.
All right. My body and mind are fully awake.
I gave our enemies enough time to rest.
So...
Let's start the show!
All units, be careful in the fog. Proceed with the mission.
Proceeding with the mission.
Increase the detection range of the sensors.
Increasing range.
Nothing in D2.
Nothing in A3.
Nothing in C6.
Are they too afraid to make a move?
Or did they ditch their AMAIMs and risk getting lost on foot?
Force their hand.
Open fire!
Opening fire.
Gashin!
They've opened fire!
It's overkill! Are they trying to blow the whole mountain to smithereens?!
This is crazy!
Movement detected in A1, B2, and E5.
Did they spread out to throw us off? That was a bad call.
Targets acquired. Opening fire.
Two of the enemy units have been destroyed.
Just make sure not to destroy the original AMAIM.
That's what I'm here for.
Use your smokescreen, Gashin!
Enemy's smokescreen is causing poor visibility.
With it plus the fog, we've lost sight of our enemies.
Prioritize local sensors in detection mode.
Switch signals every 40 seconds.
Roger that.
Prioritizing local sensors.
Switching signals in 40 seconds.
All right, surround the three AMAIMs and push them into a corner.
I'll directly handle them from there!
Team Alpha, Team Beta, immediately move to A1.
Team Delta, flank left.
Team Lambda, move from E3 to E4 and cut them off.
Everyone, be ready to open fire!
Initiating encirclement. Going into open-fire mode.
Team Beta, move forward. Alpha 1 and 3, flank right.
Team Gamma, move forward.
Team Lambda, join up with Team Sigma.
Now! Surround them!
They disappeared?!
What?!
Making adjustments based on wind direction and speed.
Changing barrel!
Ready to fire!
How can this be?!
--Amou! --Yeah!
Impossible... We aren't able to detect them.
Could it be that...?!
They used our system?
It was a simple device emitting signals, so we decided to hack it!
We hid our presence using a fake signal,
while using another one to misdirect the enemy.
The fog worked in our favor, as well.
That's why they showed themselves at first.
The salvaged North American military units were used as a ruse.
They're likely unmanned AMAIMs.
They were originally designed as unmanned units.
It was a piece of cake to control them.
You didn't do that, Nayuta.
But we had numerous sensors around the area!
We've also switched signals every 40 seconds!
That was a tough one.
But with the three of us, it wasn't an impossible task!
They cut me off from the rest.
Let's do this. We've destroyed most of their units.
We only have the big boss to take down!
I see, they were after me from the beginning!
Cut off the head of the snake...
...and the rest will be child's play!
Alec!
Looks like the enemy's aiming AI is in heat source mode.
Use your new claw weapon!
Got it!
Five more seconds... three, two, one...
That's a manned AMAIM. It'll be different from fighting a combat AI.
Okay.
If we can pin him down...
The three of us will work together to catch him off guard.
Interesting. Bring it on, then!
Not good enough!
Fall back, Amou! He'll take you down!
He's blocking everything...!
Don't be naïve.
He tilted it perfectly in an instant!
What happened?! Why isn't he moving?
Our mission is to escape. We're going to retreat rather than continue to engage.
--Okay. --Roger that!
Alec!
I'm all right.
I'll send the troops after them, once we regroup and--
Don't go after them.
Why not?!
They think a manned AMAIM should simply be stopped, not killed.
We can't go after them after they showed mercy on me.
I will not disgrace myself further!
I understand.
Remember this, terrorists...
Even if you forget what happened today, I will not!
Thanks, we owe you.
You're welcome.
I'm glad you were able to meet up with the East Tohoku group.
Yeah, we'll work together for our cause.
We truly appreciate your help.
Let's continue our efforts to restore Japan.
I'm sorry I couldn't find anything better, but please accept this gift.
Wow, thanks so much.
Thank you.
Um, I'd like to see you again.
Yeah, one day.
I guess we're headed back.
Everything went by in a blur.
Yeah.
We truly appreciate your help.
We can save people through combat, too.
This is my way.
Hey, you look like you're in a better mood.
Whatever.
Hey, let's enjoy those gifts inside.
Okay. Come on, Tezuka.
All right.
"Episode 10: Expedition"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" That pilot in the commander unit was strong...
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Yeah, it was unexpected. The world is a big place.
Where are we headed to now?
A base camp until our new HQ is ready.
By the way, who's that guy?
"Episode 11: Encirclement"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E11 [00p].01.eng.English

Ah, here they come.
Hey, welcome back!
Sorry for the wait!
How many of us are here?
Just the maintenance team and two platoons.
The chairman and the leaders are each at their designated area.
Moving in big groups would attract too much attention.
This is our temporary camp until the new HQ is ready!
Okay, move the units to the hangar!
Let's get to work!
Um, before we do that...
It's gotten pretty dirty from the travel and combat.
Is it okay if I give it a wash?
Oh, of course!
Amou...
Huh? What are you doing here?
I wanted to wash my AMAIM, too.
Let's not keep the maintenance team waiting. We should be quick.
You're right.
Hm. You somehow accessed this secure line to contact me.
Who are you?
Hello. It's nice to meet you, Captain Brad Watt.
I have a business deal I wish to offer you.
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
My name is German Gobert.
I work as a liaison for a particular company.
The people authorized to use this line are restricted. How did you get in?
I have my ways.
Oh, it's no use looking me up.
I prefer to stay behind the scenes.
This video could be a fake, as well.
Captain, we should cut off the connection now.
This doesn't feel right.
Are you sure?
You'll find this business opportunity valuable if you hear me out.
What do you plan on selling me?
What I have for you is information.
The current location of Ghost, to be exact.
I understand you're still on a mission to capture Ghost.
I'm sure you want nothing more than to learn about its whereabouts.
What do you want?
This was a request from my client.
Information is only valuable if you use it right.
You're the only one that I came to with this information.
Sounds like it'll cost me dearly.
I won't be taking your money.
However, I do expect to gain something in return.
Think of it as a prior investment for our future business.
See you soon.
Captain...
Have the Intelligence Agency verify this data.
Report this conversation to the commander.
How interesting.
We can use this in many ways if this data is accurate.
I see, Gashin and them have returned safely.
Yes.
What are they doing now?
They're washing their units.
Though, the maintenance team seems bored waiting for them.
That's fine.
We can't perform large-scale missions until the new HQ is ready.
They should think of this as their downtime and take it easy.
I'll let them know. I'll talk to you in our next scheduled call.
Master, you have a visitor.
All right, I'll be right there.
There's some dirt buildup in the nooks and crannies.
Make sure you polish thoroughly!
My mind won't work quite as fast if you don't!
How does this affect your mind?
That refreshed feeling you get is important!
M-My princess is hand-washing me herself...
I'm so... I'm so...!
What's it going on about?
It must have a bug.
You're a third-rate AI to not comprehend this thought-process.
What'd you say?!
You wanna go?!
Nayuta!
You're not gonna stop them?
Just ignore them.
There are a lot of scratches.
The parts have to be changed out if it's heavily damaged, but not for a scratch.
Not much you can do but fill it in.
Yeah.
We went through so much.
We crossed the ocean,
built a waterwheel...
I didn't think we'd be going to Tohoku.
Let's visit more places once this battle's over!
Not just Japan, but overseas, too!
I want to see a lot more things.
I'm counting on you, Amou!
Yeah, okay. You got it.
By the way, I saw the video, Amou!
That video where you provoked the Asian military!
Th-That was...
Don't be shy about it. You should be proud of your battle scars!
They aren't scars, though.
Shion, you want to bring back Himeno wares after this, right?
Yup, that's right!
I want to restore our kiln that the Asian military destroyed.
I want Grandpa to teach me the technique so I can keep up the tradition.
Keeping up the tradition. I like that!
Thanks.
What about you, Tezuka? Any plans after the fight?
I can't think about that yet.
We need to restore Japan,
and I need to avenge my father's death by defeating Ghost.
You're right. I'll help you when the time comes.
Me, too! We're comrades, after all.
Comrades... Yeah, we're comrades!
Yup!
You're not going to respond, Gashin?
I saw your report.
I agree that if it weren't for the unexpected AMAIMs joining the fight,
you most likely would not have let the remnants of the terrorists get away.
Yes, sir! I'm glad you understand.
Idiot.
However, there was also that incident with the terrorists in Hokkaido.
That falls under Major General Bazarov's jurisdiction.
My opponents were powerful.
I'm sure they will pose a threat to us moving forward.
Hmph... Very well.
As you requested, you'll lead the flying column against the original AMAIM.
Wait for further instructions.
Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
Are you sure about this?
They pulled their punches.
I can't rest until we fight them with everything and I emerge victorious.
Besides...
...wouldn't it be great to ride that AMAIM?
Thank you for coming over.
Of course.
What is it you wanted to show me?
This.
We're seeing similar incidents in other ports on the Sea of Japan side.
It looks like these were taken after a battle.
We aren't seeing any notable movements from the Asian military.
If there were battles, I believe they'd arm themselves and deploy.
All right. Investigate this as much as you can.
Will do.
I have something I want to show you, as well.
As you know, this is the current map of each nation's territory.
We had our PFP computer, Murakumo,
forecast the changes of the borders.
Our territory is expanding.
On paper, NAC allows the Japanese people autonomy.
Because of this, we have fewer terrorist attacks than other nations.
We don't have to spend as many military resources.
We don't have autonomy!
There's a clear difference between the NAC citizens and the Japanese people.
Even if the people from the NAC commit crimes here,
they aren't subjected to Japanese law.
They're sent back to their home country for trials there,
but the rulings aren't communicated to us.
They call it autonomy, but it's there to repress the people from resisting.
That said, there are many ways in which the future predictions can change.
I will change it.
I won't let the NAC get their way.
If you're that determined, why request a flying column?
How great would it be to do what you want while accomplishing your goal?
More like exploiting that goal to satisfy your own urge.
Curious, isn't it?
What is?
In the last few years, each nation's borders haven't changed much.
But the forecast shows that within a year, it will change so much.
There must be something that triggers this,
some kind of a breakthrough.
You think that's the original AMAIM the terrorists have?
Specifically, the autonomous AI that's in the AMAIM.
According to the Intelligence Agency, Ghost also has an autonomous AI
at the same level as the original AMAIM, or possibly even further developed.
Aren't you dying to get a hold of it?
I resign...
Wow!
Shion won again!
She's undefeated in both shogi and go!
--One more game! --Huh?!
B-But...
One more game!
Uhh...
Good morning.
Morning.
Tezuka and Shion aren't up yet?
He kept asking for a rematch with Shion until very late.
They're probably still asleep.
Good morning, Amou!
We're gonna work on Kenbu's maintenance after this. You wanna join?
Yes, please!
Are you really going to bite, Captain?
Whether I bite or not, capturing Ghost is our mission.
Yes, but...
If the information is useful, I'll use it. Simple as that.
That's why I'm having the Intelligence Agency validate the data.
We just got the data analysis results. I'm sending it your way.
Oh? The credibility of the data is over 90%.
It was verified by integrating various intel from our operatives.
So is Ghost currently hiding in Asian territory?
Yes.
What's the plan? We won't be able to send in troops like last time.
The Asian military will surely pick up on our movement the second time.
Even if we could, we'd need to call for a lot more troops than before.
Right. If we assume Ghost has developed even further,
we won't have a chance unless we have at least two companies.
The bar's even higher.
I like manned AMAIMs, but I'm also good at controlling unmanned units.
Sure, but...
The pieces are already in place.
Are we sure the terrorists have moved out of their base camp?
Yes, according to our operative in the Asian territory.
The Asian military sent in troops after their spy gave them the location,
but by the time they arrived, the terrorists were gone.
They're unsure where the terrorists went.
Have Capricorn calculate possible travel routes.
Our sophisticated integrated processing AI?
I want to increase the integrity of our intel.
Ray, Sofia, let's go!
Go where?
Where else? We're going sightseeing!
Good! We're done!
Okay, thanks for your help. You did good.
Thank you so much!
Hey!
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Thank you!
He was a lot better than when Chief joined us, right?
Yeah.
Ms. Misuzu?
When Chief joined us, she had all the knowledge and none of the experience.
She was completely useless.
But she kept at it like you wouldn't believe and improved her skills.
Before you knew it, she became our chief.
Maybe you can be like our chief one day.
Y-You think so?
There's a lot you need to learn first.
Yup, you better study hard!
Studying is important. Very important!
Can I ever be like her?
Amou! You got a minute?
Yes!
Gashin and Shion finally woke up.
We're going shopping. Amou, can you join us?
Yes!
Wow, there're so many people.
Not just people from the AFTE and Japanese people, but foreigners, too!
This is an open market.
Anyone can enter as long as they aren't carrying anything dangerous.
There's a lot of European companies that conduct business with the AFTE.
People like that frequent this market, with their own bodyguards, of course.
Is that how Mr. German entered the country?
Yeah, probably using a fake cover.
We'll shop individually like we always do. Stay under the radar.
Okay!
Why are you looking around so much?
Because I've never been to a place like this--
Oh, I-I'm so sorry!
No, I'm sorry I didn't see you. Are you all right?
Um, yes...
It's fine, I'm good.
U-Um, sorry again.
Ray, could you follow him and get a voice recording of him?
Sir?
I've heard his voice before.
I, no, Kenbu will make sure that you're crushed!
I want to run his voiceprint.
Understood.
Looks like I got lucky.
Thanks for your help.
What else can we help with?
Nope, we're done. You can kick back and relax.
We're done, huh?!
Tezuka, don't bug Shion so much.
I'm not an idiot! I know I'm not at her level yet...
I'm going to ask for a rematch once I'm better at it!
O-Okay...
Competitive much?
Sorry about Gashin.
No, not at all.
My princess, if something happens, I, Angelo, will protect you.
Oh, there you are. Welcome back.
Are you guys free later?
Huh?
Yes, I think so...
Then how about we go on a nice little trip?
A hot spring?
Yeah, just down the road, there's an old natural hot spring.
It only has a simple changing room and a partition,
but it's a secluded hot spring that only a few people know about!
Are we allowed to go, just the four of us?
It'll be fine. Everyone else went before you guys came, so it's only fair!
"Women" "Men"
"Women" "Men" All right, the women's area is this way. The men's is that way.
All right, the women's area is this way. The men's is that way.
No peeking.
W-We would never do that!
The temperature is perfect.
Looks like they're pulling in water from that river to adjust the temperature.
You gotta love how free this feels.
Thank you, Ms. Misuzu, for bring us here.
Not at all! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I don't get it! Why couldn't I go with my princess?!
Of course you can't. Just look at how you usually act!
What?!
Hot springs, geothermally heated groundwater.
Depending on the minerals, it may help counteract fatigue, huh?
Looks like the sweating increases one's metabolism, too.
That's something we can't comprehend since we don't have physical bodies.
I'm telling you, it's that refreshed feeling!
Oh!
Ahh, it's so nice to be able to stretch out,
and the stars are beautiful.
Yeah, I agree.
Do you come to hot springs a lot?
Sometimes our leaders take us. What about you?
I used to go when I was little, but after my parents passed away, not so much.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up bad memories.
No! Besides, I brought it up. Don't worry about it.
Oh, you're...
Ah, g-good evening.
Shh...
You know him?
I saw him earlier at the market.
I guess you're from around here. Are you with the AFTE? Or are you Japanese?
Um, I-I'm Japanese.
Is he your friend?
Ah, y-yes.
Um, do you visit places like this, too?
I heard about it and decided to come heal my battle wounds.
Battle?
We're soldiers from the NAC.
We fought against an enemy the other day.
We were very close to winning, but it got away.
Enemy?
A violent, unmanned AMAIM with unknown allegiance, called "Ghost."
It got away, but our Intelligence Agency tracked its location.
Currently, Ghost is hiding in the Oki Islands.
Oki Islands...
We heard it exchanged fire with the Asian military.
We're going to round up the troops in a few days to defeat Ghost this time.
Why are you telling us this?
I'm not sure.
Maybe I feel a connection with you.
Huh?
See you again if we have the chance.
"Episode 11: Encirclement"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Ghost is in the Oki Islands...!
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Don't lose your cool, Gashin.
But there are Japanese people living there, right?
Yeah, although it's under the Asian military's control.
That just means one thing. Right, Amou?!
Yeah, we can't let it roam free!
"Episode 12: Battle of the Oki Islands (Part 1)"
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E12 [00p].01.eng.English

No enemies detected. Moving on to the hangar.
It has to be nearby. Don't let your guard down.
First Platoon, entering the hangar now.
Second Platoon, continue searching the east side.
I'm picking up a heat source! Enemy found!
Second Platoon, move from the south side and catch it in a pincer maneuver!
First Platoon, open fire!
First Platoon has been annihilated. Second Platoon, opening fire now!
Second Platoon has been annihilated!
What?!
We lost Ghost's signal!
Damn it! It got away--
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
Ghost is in the Oki Islands?
Yes, based on information Gashin and Amou received from the NAC soldier.
We haven't verified this intel yet, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
Hmm...
I want to defeat it.
I have to avenge my father, and until I defeat it...
...I can't move forward.
Tezuka...
Amou, what do you think?
Um...
I was there when our camp got attacked.
But I couldn't do anything.
Because of that, Ms. Risa...
...and the others...
I think Ghost is dangerous.
There's no telling who will be its next victim.
If Tezuka's going to fight, I'll help as well!
I see. However, we don't know if the intel is good.
We'll make a decision after we know for sure.
Gai, Kei, Nayuta... Will you help us?
Yup!
Of course.
In for a penny...
Thanks.
You're on standby until we know more. All right?
Okay!
Roger that.
Hey, how long are you gonna keep this up?
He's been in there for hours.
Jeez, there's really no stopping him.
Our next meeting was held two days later.
I won't beat around the bush.
It's highly likely that Ghost is in the Oki Islands.
According to our analysis, the probability is 94.6%.
It could have left the island, but we're pretty certain it's still there.
The Oki Islands is under the Asian military's control.
Dougo and Nishinoshima Island have outposts there.
Based on photographs of the Asian military's movements in nearby ports,
along with evidence of battles and power consumption forecast,
Ghost has destroyed the outpost in Dougo Island,
and then moved on to the outpost in Nishinoshima Island.
In doing so, Ghost has taken control of the anti-aircraft warning system.
The Asian military retreated, and their army at the mainland can't get near it.
They've started building a defense line on the coastline
in order to prevent Ghost from attacking the mainland.
For the time being, Ghost has been quiet.
It's probably in sleep mode.
Oh, to organize data?
And recover from any damage.
We do have one problem.
Everyone in the Japanese living quarters of Nishinoshima was left behind.
What?
We also have reports of people being injured.
The Asian military must've abandoned the Japanese people to save themselves.
It's not a problem yet.
But there's no guarantee that they won't be attacked once Ghost wakes up.
Well, we have to go help them now!
By defeating Ghost,
we can protect not only the people of Japan but Japan itself.
Shion, this will be your first time going against Ghost.
I've steeled my resolve after hearing how Amou and Tezuka feel.
I won't just stand by on the side lines.
Okay. Then your next mission is to rescue the people in Nishinoshima
and to defeat Ghost.
Please prepare for it immediately.
--Roger that! --Got it!
Don't break formation! You're dead if you stray off!
We know!
We know, but--
Dammit. One more time!
This will be a two-front war.
To protect the residents and avoid the Asian military,
we'll do it simultaneously and quickly.
Amou, Gashin, and Shion will combat Ghost.
My team will conduct the rescue mission.
The rest is logistic support.
"Japanese Living Quarters" "Asian Military's Second Outpost" The rest is logistic support.
"Japanese Living Quarters" "Asian Military's Second Outpost" The three of you will enter Nishinoshima from this route.
"Rescue Team" "Combat Team" The three of you will enter Nishinoshima from this route.
"Rescue Team" "Combat Team" Once you reach there, you'll use your AMAIMs to head to the outpost.
Once you reach there, you'll use your AMAIMs to head to the outpost.
That's where Ghost is most likely hiding at.
Remember, you're also a diversion to protect the rescue team from Ghost.
Got it!
Next, the rescue team.
According to the population registry, 103 residents need rescuing.
Eight of those are in need of caretakers.
We need a boat to transport them.
I don't care if it's a fishing boat. Work together and get enough.
We'll also need medical supplies and stretchers.
Prioritize the rescue of children, seniors, and those who need assistance.
By the end of this mission,
the Asian military should be away from the islands and the nearby shorelines.
How's that going?
We're already on it!
We asked the local helpers to create a commotion to send the military their way.
Don't worry.
How should we reach out to the residents?
Would they believe us if we contact them out of the blue?
I actually have an idea.
"Restaurant: Saito" I actually have an idea.
"Restaurant: Saito"
"Getting Ready"
"Getting Ready" There's a battle on the islands?
Unfortunately, yes. Please help us save them.
I've lost touch with everyone after I left the islands a long time ago.
I was practically kicked out. No one would care about what I'd have to say...
I understand that you're hesitant.
However, we have no time to lose. Please, help us!
We managed to get enough boats.
Good. My helper's also onboard.
All right! You're good to go!
Thank you so much.
Hey! We got our stuff, too!
We received communication from the Intelligence Agency.
Apparently, a group of Japanese people are renting a number of boats.
They must be the terrorists.
It's as you predicted, Captain.
Things are moving along well.
Call me an opportunistic leech, but I'll be the one that comes out on top.
We're all ready. Our mission will start tonight.
I understand.
Good luck.
It's time! Team One, head out!
Team Two, head out!
Let's go!
Mr. Saito.
You really came...
Is everyone else all right?
Yes, everyone's gathered in one area, just as you asked.
Good. Your son is waiting for you at the other end of the coast.
Th-Thank you so much.
This is Masaki. The residents are safe. Please come alongside the pier.
Looks like they've started.
Yeah.
Let's go, too.
Why do we have to stay here...?
There's nothing we can do with two AMAIMs against that monster!
We've lost contact, and no rescue is coming. They left us behind.
Don't say that!
This is a bridgehead to defend the Asian military's territory!
We cannot allow that silly AMAIM to overrun us!
We may have insufficient strength, but this is still the front line.
We're the only ones who can protect this island.
We're almost at the base. Prepare for combat!
--Okay! --Understood!
Our defense line will be that valley up ahead.
We'll attack Ghost from both sides and try to run it down!
What is it?! What happened?!
Switching monitors now.
Activate all units!
Activating all units!
E-Everyone fall back!
Look out!
--First Lieutenant! --Stay there!
That AMAIM...
Asian military survivors found!
Why are they here?
Call Boss!
Roger that!
Okay, let's move.
Got it!
Did they leave so we wouldn't be dragged into the fight?
Let's retreat!
Get them in quickly!
It's fast!
These attacks are new to us!
We're moving to plan B! Keep your distance and move to the designated area!
Roger that!
First Lieutenant, was that AMAIM...?
Yes, the terrorist we've encountered before. Why is it here?
Freeze!
We have our rights based on the treaty.
We're not military.
If you're ignoring our rights, then...
We've got five people in need of rescue. Head towards us immediately.
However, we will restrain you.
We're not military,
but we'll help those in need, regardless of race. That's who we are.
We're at the designated area. Reiki, get into position.
Okay.
Wh-What in the...?!
Watch out!
Are you okay, Amou?!
I-It's...
Yeah, looks like it modified itself.
--It's coming this way! --Yeah!
Shion, now!
Okay!
Controlling recoil, correcting aim!
Blast off!
Bull's-eye!
I'll finish you off!
What?!
It's grounding itself to direct the current back into the ground!
Tezuka!
It won't last long! Let's move fast!
Roger that!
From the last battle,
Ghost's power, response time, and speed have clearly improved.
It also customized its equipment and capability to its own liking.
Its self-improving feature is unbelievable!
Self-improving...
It's coming!
--Go up! --Okay!
Amou!
Tezuka! Plan A!
We'll send the revised coordinates later!
Understood!
Good! It took the bait!
Optimal route!
Calculating!
After we reach the mountaintop, it's all downhill!
Got it!
It's going to start climbing in ten seconds! It's hot on our tail!
Everyone is onboard.
Everyone is onboard here, too.
Okay, start departing!
I see it!
The ammunition depot!
Amou!
Yeah, I can make it!
Amou, behind you!
Eat this!
Okay, let's close the door!
This is this outpost's ammunition depot.
We also added more explosives to it, too!
Gashin!
Yeah!
Did they do it?
With such a large explosion, it must've done a good amount of damage!
--Hold on! --I'm picking up movement inside the flames!
No way...

Do I hear whining? You gonna quit?
Never. That thing's dangerous. We have to defeat it!
That's right, Amou! Let's do this!
Yeah!
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
You...!
My princess!
I'm okay...
Shion, Amou, let's do this just like we practiced in the simulation!
Okay!
Looks like they've already started.
We might've missed the beginning, but I'm glad we made it.
Captain, using long-distance radio is too risky.
The Asian military will detect it, and our location could be--
It'll be fine. If that happens, we'll get rid of all the equipment and leave.
What's important is the data.
Send the video to Capricorn. I want the combat data analyzed.
Yes, sir.
All right. Let's see how much Ghost and the original AMAIM have improved.
You seem to be enjoying this.
Of course I am.
If the original AMAIM wins, our mission to defeat Ghost is accomplished.
And if Ghost wins?
If we're lucky, we can recover the original AMAIM itself.
We could probably recover one out of the three.
Either way, it'll work in our favor.
Do you think we'll be able to recover the AI units?
Who knows?
However, I do believe I'm a man of great luck.
Dammit, we can't tell what's going on from here.
Can we get a little closer?
We'd have to be suicidal to do it.
With this many passengers onboard and the distance to cover with limited fuel...
Not too bright, are you?
What?!
You may have restrained us, but the body-checks were sloppy.
Had it been more thorough, you would've found my military-issued cell.
If I was threatened and forced to share my passcode to you,
you'd be able to access the island's security camera from it.
You could also unlock the attachment authentication feature for the AMAIMs.
Why tell us this?
I'm just talking to myself.
Even under threat, you still leaked military intel.
There'll be consequences to pay.
A small price to pay to save my men's lives.
Shion!
We've got this! Keep pushing!
Right!
Okay!
Above you!
Ghost... It's already adapting to our teamwork!
No, it was already showing signs of that before this.
It must have had experience fighting against three manned AMAIMs before this!
Th-This is bad, Amou!
We're automatically crunching numbers...
Our winning percentage was over 50% in the simulation, but now...
It's dropping as time goes on.
Gashin.
We know what happened. Our plan failed, correct?
Yes.
Then fall back. Everyone in need of rescue has made it to the safe zone.
One of the two goals was accomplished.
No!
I can tell because we're fighting it. Ghost isn't going to let us go.
Even if we fall back, it'll take down at least one of us!
That's what our calculation shows, too.
Then we'd rather stay and fight to go home together!
Yeah, that's right!
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Looks like we're all on the same page.
Boss, could you back us up?
All right.
Let's gather as much intel as we can.
How's the attachment authentication feature looking?
Eighty more seconds!
Something's not right...
What?
It has extraordinary power and speed because its limiters are disabled.
That means its battery should die before ours does.
Yeah, especially since its power usage is being pushed even higher.
The weight of two units is too much...!
Is it doing what I think it's doing?
Is it actually pulling in energy?
Looks like it. I'm detecting energy flow.
What is that thing?
Just received intel from Kumai.
Looks like the attachment authentication feature's unlocked!
He also sent images from the security camera.
These are...
Thermal images.
What's that behind it?
I knew it!
Ghost's somehow maintaining a very high-power output.
It'll overheat itself if it can't release the heat its generating.
That's a heat sink to transfer heat.
Which means...
We just found its weak point?
Amou, we'll meet up at the coordinates in Plan D.
Got it!
Amou...
What...?
We're transferring Jogan and Reiki's energy to Kenbu.
But that means--
Don't worry, we'll still be able to move.
We'll be able to provide backup.
According to our calculations, this is also the best strategy.
Come on, it's time to man up!
We're all going to survive this, remember?
We're counting on you.
Let's do this, Amou! We're gonna win!
Yeah!
It's power and speed are higher than ours!
We'll continue leading Ghost to the hangar!
Let's make use of the Asian military's weapons!
Right!
Amou's doing good. Let's get going, too.
R-Right, but are you okay?
Just moving shouldn't be a problem.
We don't know how long he'll last alone against Ghost.
Let's hurry!
All right!
It's all destroyed...
Let's use that one!
Eat this!
Crap!
Now, Amou!
Okay!
I'm in position. What about you, Reiki?
I'm in position as well.
Ghost is still in perfect condition!
Its learning capability is frightening.
Our odds of winning decrease as time passes. This will be over quick.
We'll signal you the timing.
Roger that.
Amou! We received communication from Tezuka.
Okay!
Amou, I'm going to disable the limiters.
What?
Kenbu has limiters in place to protect the unit against overload.
I'm going to disable it, so we can only fight for a short time.
But if we can surpass Ghost, or just even stop it...
Then Tezuka and Shion will take care of the rest.
That's right.
All right, let's do it!
Hang on tight, Amou!
Okay!
MAILeS Kenbu, full boost!
It's so fast! This is Kenbu's true speed...?
Ghost's already responding to our speed!
True, but our speed and power matches Ghost's!
It's different this time!
I didn't know about that feature.
Likely one that's unique to Kenbu, a hand-to-hand combat type unit.
But it's a double-edged sword.
Double-edged sword... Amou...
R23.14, decompress the cylinders!
Got it!
Balancer to 2.5!
Front 60! Balance position to -2!
I'm going to counterattack!
LL monitor, drive! Adjust gain to +6!
Clear!
Go!
This is how Amou and Gai fight together.
Wait! The winning percentage according to our calculation is...
It's rising as time goes on...
Now!
Shion!
Gashin!
Yeah, a single moment's all I need!
Now!
Right!
We're at our limit! I'm going to re-enable the limiters!
It's starting to overheat.
Yes. With that much damage on top of the excessive heat surrounding it,
it's starting to overheat.
It'll trigger a thermal runaway and Ghost will explode in the next few minutes.
The ocean! It's trying to get away!
Not if I can help it!
It's planning on using sea water to prevent itself from overheating!
Get away, Amou! It's gonna blow!
I can't!
You'll be caught in the explosion!
If we let Ghost go now,
it'll repair itself again!
Like Ms. Risa and others,
people unbeknown to us will be victimized...
I refuse to let that happen!
Ghost's temperature is rising!
We have to avenge your father's death, too!
Not in exchange for your life! We can regroup and try again!
This ends, here and now. We need to protect the people!
That's what the Resistance is for!
Wait, Amou...
You can't do this! No!
The camera's about to go.
I can't calculate the corrections accurately because of the heat.
Gai.
What is it, Amou?
I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
I don't mind.
Like I said before; I owe you my life.
I'm sticking with you.
Sensor's gone up in flames.
I'm switching to pilot's life-preservation mode.
I don't know how long I'll last,
but I'll protect you with everything I've got, Amou!
My life changed the moment I met you, Gai.
And if I'm able to protect someone's future because of that,
I'm kinda happy with that.
That's what human feelings are about, right?
Can you reach Gai?
It's offline. The communication circuit's probably down.
Ghost is reaching a critical point.
Amou!
"Restaurant: Saito"
He's only received first aid care. You need to take him to the hospital soon.
You're sure about this?
We don't have enough resources to take care of prisoners.
Thank you. You have our word; We won't share any intel on you to our military.
But I'm a soldier. If we meet on the battlefield, I won't hold back.
Likewise.
All right, understood. How are Gashin and Shion?
"Signal Lost" "Damage: Left Leg" "Damage: Left Arm" All right, understood. How are Gashin and Shion?
"Signal Lost" "Damage: Left Leg" "Damage: Left Arm" Well, they wouldn't come out of their cockpits,
Well, they wouldn't come out of their cockpits,
so it was a pain to recover the units.
They finally managed to load them onboard, and are headed this way.
Good. Please tell Gashin and Shion to get some rest.
Also, it's possible our temporary camp has been compromised.
You'll need to quickly move to the new HQ.
I understand.
"Signal Lost" "Missing In Action"
"Signal Lost" "Missing In Action" One MIA.
Everyone in need of rescue is safe.
From a mission standpoint, this is a success, but...
No, I can wallow and repent when this is all over.
My job as the head of this organization
is to figure our next steps.
Let me ask again. Are you sure you didn't see the terrorists' faces?
Yes. They wore masks when they attacked us, and confiscated my cellphone.
They threatened to kill my men. I had no choice but to tell them my passcode.
Your team has provided us with similar statements.
However, you've leaked classified information.
I'm prepared for any reprimand.
We need to bring the citizens from Nishinoshima back.
We also need to rebuild the First and Second Outpost.
We're busy with the prep work.
We'll let you know how we'll handle you later.
Yes, ma'am!
There's not much of anything left...
Everything else is below, or...
We lost Gai's signal before the explosion and it hasn't come back.
Yeah...
Boss, we need to go.
All right.
If we stay too long, the Asian military will spot us.
We also need to get to the new HQ. Let's go.
Idiot...
Remember my name, Brad Watt!
It hacked back the signal I used that day to contact me.
I'm flattered you came to me for help.
I'll try not to disappoint you.
From now on, I'll put you to full use...
...Ghost.
"Episode 13: Battle of the Oki Islands (Part 2)"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" What's on your mind, Gashin?
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" I fought Ghost to avenge my father's death.
But Amou fought to prevent casualties in the future.
I'm going to continue to fight.
I know.
"Episode 14: Eight Months Later"
"End: Part 1"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E14 [00p].01.eng.English

Amou!
Eight months have passed since the battle at the Oki Islands.
September 2061
During that time, the borders for each nation's territory in Japan had changed.
October 2061
November 2061
December 2061
Simply put, the NAC expanded its territory, calling them autonomous cities.
January 2062
February 2062
March 2062
April 2062
May 2062
The reason for their victories is clear.
The North American military won the autonomous AI race
and used them to great effect.
They worked well with existing manned and unmanned units,
and they had the track record to prove their usefulness.
The Asian, Oceanian, and Eurasian militaries
all began developing units with autonomous AIs,
but the North American military were a step or two ahead.
The borderlines of the Japanese Archipelago change day to day...
...regardless of what the Japanese citizens want.
In the year 2062, this is Japan's current situation.
Episode 14: Eight Months Later
Shion!
I see you! Over here!
My princess, stay on this course!
Okay!
Target locked, ready to open fire!
We are still fighting.
AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline
I see, so they got away.
Yes.
Everything's going as planned.
Are we really doing this?
Second Lieutenant Knox, do you eat your favorite dish first
or save it for last?
Sir?
I prefer to save it for last, and eat as much as I want.
Until I tire from it.
Thanks to autonomous AIs,
manned units can go to the frontlines more.
Wouldn't you want to savor it to your heart's content?
No signs of enemies within a 5km radius.
We shouldn't be attacked by anyone anytime soon.
They took some hits, too.
They'll likely come back after resupplying themselves.
Resupply, huh? Must be nice to have that luxury.
Complaining won't get us anything.
Good work, everyone. What's our status?
We got word that Tsukuyomi got through to Fukui prefecture.
Unfortunately, there are other groups and refugees nearby,
and we can't get in touch with them.
Your mission is to rescue people left behind due to the borderline change.
You'll need to move them outside the NAC's territory.
Security in the North American military
is tighter than the Asian's and Oceanian's.
The power of each Resistance member and refugee is small.
But united, we will become a force large enough to win back Japan.
We're counting on you.
--Of course! --Roger.
Roger!
Chairman, any word from Brenson Corp?
Nothing yet.
I have no new intel other than what Kei and Nayuta found before.
Before we lost contact with Brenson Corp,
there were some incidents and accidents overseas.
An industrial building in North Africa,
a gunpowder plant in Mideast, a business firm in France...
There are more,
but all these facilities have collapsed or exploded around the same time.
Not all of them may be connected,
but since we lost communication immediately after these incidents,
it's highly possible that they were owned by Brenson Corp,
and someone attacked them.
According to online rumors, the North American military is behind it.
Regardless, we're currently without Brenson Corp's support.
We have few AMAIM parts and supplies left.
Times are tough for us, but...
We'll continue to fight!
We'll fight and survive, to "protect the people" of tomorrow!
Tezuka...
Yes, you're right.
You're looking sharper than usual, Captain.
I look the same.
Seems like you're having fun.
I'm smiling to hide my nervousness.
It's a big task.
Yes, I'm presenting my opinion about the units with autonomous AIs
to government officials and the military top brass, as a field worker.
In other words,
our future budget depends on how well you do.
Charlie asked me to tell you to get the biggest budget you can.
I'll do my best to not fail him.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Damn the North American military!
Fall back! Fall back!
This way, hurry!
Hey, wait! Take me with you!
Run! Hide in the forest!
Group One, Group Two, head to Point C7 and F5 accordingly.
Group Four is through Point D8.
The meeting's finally adjourned...
You must be tired. It was a long one.
Six hours, nonstop. Really...
Charlie's waiting for you.
Captain, how'd it go? Did you get us a huge budget?
I don't know yet. There's another one tomorrow.
Anyway, how's the other project going?
Honestly, I wish it'd give me a break.
There's no way I can tame that thing.
I have my faith in the Development Agency. Do whatever it takes to succeed.
Creating a robot that can handle that thing is the key to future battles.
In that case, please get us that budget.
All right. I'll see you later.
Captain?
Is this what adrenaline feels like?
It feels like the tiredness I was feeling is gone.
So far, we're on course.
Ah, there it is.
What's wrong?
I thought I'd do some maintenance, too.
It may not be much, but...
It wouldn't hurt. This is an expedition.
We don't even have enough guards.
I wonder what happened to Ms. Misuzu after that day?
Mr. Muramatsu's trying, but he can't reach her.
I'm sure she has her reasons.
Like what? Family issues?
Do you think she got sick of us?
How would I know?!
You're right...
Gashin, for the last time... You need to learn how to speak to people.
Sorry...
I hope Mr. German and Ms. Misuzu are doing fine.
Yeah.
To be honest, I've had too much time on my hands.
Too much time to myself.
Ever since that day, I've tried to make a pot a few times.
But it never goes well. I can't focus.
I can't get my mind to stay on the clay.
I've never had this issue before...
That's why I came here.
Because I'll overthink if I'm alone, about all sorts of things...
You can quit, you know.
You don't have to stay just because you're Reiki's pilot.
It's one option--
I'm not quitting!
I want to bring back Himeno wares.
To do that, we need to get Japan back.
So, I won't quit.
That's my princess! You said it!
I, Angelo, will always stick by your side, my princess!
Gashin, wake up! We have company!
What?
--My princess, you need to wake up, now!
--Mmm, what? What is it? --My princess, you need to wake up, now!
Just wake up! You'll understand when you go outside!
Huh? All these people? Why?!
This isn't good...
We can still fight! Just give us some ammo!
We would if we weren't short ourselves.
Do you have any nursing covers?
And something that can be used as a diaper?
I'll go look.
Please wait here. I'll go talk to our leader.
I see, the nearby populace has gathered there...
Enemy front lines were scattered until today.
Now, they have us surrounded.
That's why there are more people now.
Right.
The enemy likely corralled them here.
Probably. By doing so, they can focus on one target.
We'll also grow in size, making it difficult to move.
How many people are gathered at your site?
35 resistance members and 86 refugees. 121 in total.
Hmm...
There are elders and children among the refugees.
Even if we did move, it wouldn't be fast.
We're low on food and I don't know how long it'll last.
I see.
I'm sorry, the enemies were on our tail, and we found ourselves here...
We fell into their trap.
Our combat vehicle's destroyed and we ran out of ammo.
But we don't want to hold you down!
If push comes to shove, we can be decoys!
If you could break out of their encirclement with the refugees, then--
No, that's not an option!
We're better suited as decoys!
With our AMAIMs, we can fight the enemy AMAIMs, and--
It's no good.
Jogan and Reiki aren't super-machines.
There's a limit to how fast we can move with so many refugees.
It's almost impossible for just the two of us to handle an entire army.
Worst case, we'll be flanked and taken down.
But, then, what do we do?
We won't be leaving anyone behind.
Let's think of a way to get through this.
That's what we're here for.
Yup, that's right.
We don't have much time.
Troops are moving in from Point 7.
They triggered the sensor in south-southeast, 12.5 klicks from here.
They're here.
Since they're regular military forces, they can't attack civilians.
Maybe we can use that to our advantage.
They're surrendering? How boring.
This is Captain Tony Blanc from Point 7, Unit 23 of the North American military!
Does that white flag mean you are surrendering?!
We will not surrender.
However, we have unarmed civilians with us.
Take them in as refugees, or let us take them to safety first.
Under military law, this negotiation is valid.
I know, but there's no guarantee that they're not terrorists themselves.
They won't be armed. You can even check their identities and belongings.
Hey, where are you going?! Come back!
In return, we ask for you to guarantee their safety.
Captain!
Quit pestering me. You want me to reach out to HQ for instructions, yes?
But under emergency situations, judgments made on the field take priority.
That's why we deploy manned units!
Don't be afraid.
I have a little job for you.
If you succeed, I'll grant you NAC citizenship.
Don't you want to escape poverty?
Wh-What's the job?
Oh, it's just a simple one.
When it's the right time, I just want you to cause a little ruckus.
That's all.
Your future depends on this one choice.
Live out the rest of your days in subjugation,
or switch sides and join those who take charge.
Let me contact HQ. Wait until I hear back from them.
All right.
What?
I'm not gonna fall for your lies!
A gun?!
They've opened fire! The enemy is hostile! Negotiations have fallen through!
All units, open fire!
Wait, we didn't--
It's no use, Mr. Kumai! We have to fight!
We need to run! Now!
Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki, please get the refugees out of here!
We'll draw the enemies' attention!
We owe you!
Enemy units are moving to the left!
Not if I can help it!
Please follow our instructions and evacuate, now!
This is a nightmare! It's chaos!
I did it... I did it, sir!
Huh?
Hmph.
Captain, that man...
Was a terrorist. So, I killed him. Is there a problem?
Elliot, you let this happen, so you've got blood on your hands, too.
Do you want to go to military prison with me?
I think you and I will be good friends. Very good friends.
Point I5 and I6 are under control.
Point Q9 is under control as well.
Alpha Unit is attacking Point M8.
Beta Unit has Point O6 under control.
How did this happen...?
We need to get to safety somehow...
I found the command unit! Is the data linked?!
Yes. We're taking it down now!
Going after the command unit is a common tactic.
Of course, we have countermeasures.
What's more, our military's autonomous AI
knows how to deal with small numbers of enemies.
It's accurate cover fire is preventing us from returning fire!
Don't push yourself, my princess!
The durability of armor and joints are decreasing!
But...
This deployment of units, and precision shooting...
This isn't the usual combat AI the North American military's been using.
Our location isn't helping, either.
We need to temporary fall back and regroup!
Boss! Are the civilians evacuated?!
Not yet! They're panicking from all the chaos!
Shion!
Crap!
From behind?!
Masaki?!
Dammit!
Can't we do anything?
Is there really nothing we can do?!
This signal...
Could it be...?
What is it?!
We're picking up a different signal! It's an unknown AMAIM!
What?!
A black AMAIM?
Is that...?
Impossible... It took down all those units in a split second...
Is that Kenbu?
Amou...?
Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline
Is that AMAIM Kenbu?
Yes, there's no mistake.
We're picking up Gai's signal, too.
I'm so glad... Amou's alive!
But we're not out of the woods yet. Keep your guard up.
There's something different about Gai and Amou, too...
Episode 15: Reunion
See you in the next episode!

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E15 [00p].01.eng.English

Is that Kenbu?
Amou...?
Tezuka, Shion, can you move?
Y-Yeah...
Yup!
I'll dive straight into the enemy lines.
I'll create chaos and you two can cover me.
Roger that.
You got it.
We defeated the rear echelon troops! I'm sending you the route.
Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki, please evacuate everyone.
--Copy that! --All right!
Let's go!
Minor damage to one unmanned AMAIM; 11 are completely destroyed.
Other damage to the combat vehicles have been reported.
This is a catastrophic defeat.
Dammit! Can we resupply?
Reinforcements will be available in 12 hours. We can regroup then.
We won't let them escape! We'll crush them!
If you're unwell or in pain, please let us know.
We also have a little bit of food and beverages!
Amou!
You're alive!
It's been a while.
Idiot.
Sorry... To you, too, Shion.
--U-Um, I-I'm--
--Shion! --U-Um, I-I'm--
Long time no see! How've you been?!
M-Ms. Misuzu!
Aw, what's this? Are you that happy to see me?
I'm just kidding. Sorry.
Maki...
Captain Kumai, Lieutenant Masaki, I apologize for my sudden disappearance.
I'd like to explain what happened over the past eight months.
But before I do...
We've brought plenty of supplies, so you can relax a bit!
We have food, ammo, even AMAIM replacement parts!
Chief!
I'm not comfortable with hugging it out with you.
How could you say that?!
We've worked together for so long!
It's been so long since--
Thank you.
Amou...
Hey, we're moving to a different spot. Let's go.
Um, I'm good. I'm just gonna go check on Kenbu.
Huh?
I'm gonna talk to Amou. Brief me on what Ms. Misuzu tells you later.
Tezuka...
I see. I was hoping to hear from Amou, but...
Let's leave it to Gashin.
By the way, who's this?
This is Collin Dialo,
team leader of ARES, a private military company.
The development organization I'm with has a contract with them.
We've asked them to transport supplies and provide escorts for us.
Development organization?
What are you talking about?
My full name is Maki Misuzu Annette.
I'm the president and chief developer of TRYVECTA,
an AI development organization affiliated with Brenson Corp.
What?!
I'm the one who developed the autonomous AI everyone calls "Ghost."
Only when you give the autonomous AI control does it reach its full potential.
However, if it has control over all units and is allowed to do what it wants,
troop discipline will be lost.
That's why, in the field and depending on the scale of the battle,
company and battalion commanders would pilot manned units with autonomous AI,
while the actual troops would consist of unmanned units with tactical AIs.
This is the most efficient and proven method.
With constraints like that, further development of AI units is useless.
Be careful with Congressman Roy Walker.
He's garnered support by cutting down military and government budgets.
He's bound to criticize everything you say.
You'll need to show good results to shut him up.
I understand.
Japan is the front line of the world.
A victory here will directly impact global trends.
Even so, the cost is too high.
We're currently ahead of the rest of the world.
It isn't in our best interest to lose our momentum in development.
Some in the media are questioning the purpose of this war.
They're growing tired of it.
Continuing our development is the best and quickest way to solve that problem.
Just stop. This is a wasted effort!
Roy Walker...
In partnership with Brenson Corp, we, TRYVECTA,
began the development of "I-LeS,"
an autonomous AI that can work with humans.
The first autonomous AI we created was code-named "Prototype Zero."
Or, as you call it, "Ghost."
To keep our partnership with Brenson Corp, we loaned it to them,
even though we knew the control mechanism was still a work in progress.
After an accident during a unit test, Prototype Zero disappeared.
After some time, it reappeared as Ghost.
Brenson Corp has admitted their fault in this,
and offered to keep the partnership.
After that, we created Gai, Kei, and Nayuta based on Prototype Zero.
Which means...
We're the same as Ghost...
Amou!
What happened after the battle at the Oki Islands?
Where were you? What have you been doing?!
Sorry, I gotta go check on Kenbu...
Hey, Amou!
He doesn't seem to be in a talkative mood right now.
Hold on! That makes you a big shot at the company!
What are you doing on our maintenance team?!
I wanted to see my AIs' growth up close.
An engineer's passion, if you will.
"Engineer's passion"...?
I can relate to that.
I also wanted to stop Ghost from wreaking any more havoc.
After the battle at the Oki Islands eight months ago,
I thought we had a real chance to get Ghost back.
I'm sorry for taking advantage of you all like that.
Aren't I terrible?
That night, with the help of Mr. Collin and ARES,
we got on a boat and waited. But...
We prioritized saving Amou and Gai instead.
I couldn't let them die.
We quickly covered our tracks and left before the Asian military came.
What about Ghost?
So it's still out there somewhere?!
No, we know where it is.
What?!
The North American military's Development Agency in Kanto has it.
German Gobert arranged everything.
A long day at work, Captain?
I hear you had quite an argument.
German, I told you not to come here unless asked.
It's just that I heard a rumor,
and I wanted to see it for myself-- the slip-up I caused.
Word travels fast.
Also...
Congressman Roy Walker.
Consider it done. Afterall, I'm very good at doing the dirty work.
Why would the captain work with a man like that...?
We need to trust him. He must have a plan.
If things fall apart, we'll be there to stop it.
After German founded his own organization,
he weaseled himself into the North American military, the largest in the world,
by offering up Ghost.
Camouflaging them as accidents,
he then attacked Brenson Corp and the TRYVECTA facilities.
Most likely with the goal of monopolizing the technology.
So those incidents and accidents overseas...
Yes. Fortunately, the nerve center of the organization was able to escape.
After that, we spent the next eight months completing the new Kenbu.
No wonder I couldn't get a hold of you.
And German sounds like a horrible industrial spy!
He's nefarious.
After investigating Ghost's disappearance
and the time when Gai was found on the ground,
we found out that he was the one pulling the strings all along.
We think he started to enact his plan that far back.
At the time, the people from the development organization
were transporting Gai.
Because of his position, German knew where Kenbu would be assembled,
so he made sure Kenbu's parts would be hard to transport.
At the same time, German sent his men to recover Gai.
Sensing she was in danger, she escaped.
She hid Gai where no one would find it.
As she was contacting us to tell us the hiding spot, German's men got to her.
But eventually, Gai found its way back.
She can rest in peace.
Um, so what was Amou doing during the past eight months?
Nayuta, did Amou say anything?
No, he wasn't in the mood.
Well then, it's probably best if I keep my mouth shut.
It's his story to tell.
What?
Thank you...
And so, we went on an expedition to Shikoku and Kyushu. Right?
Yeah.
Where were you, Amou?
Uh, I was overseas... With Ms. Misuzu's organization...
What was it like? Was it fun?
Um, yeah, I guess...
I'm so jealous. I'd love to go abroad.
I'll be by your side, my princess!
Yup, of course!
Thank you for the food.
You're done? You've barely touched your food.
I'm not hungry...
I'll see you later.
He's changed, hasn't he?
It feels like he's back to how he was when we first met.
I think it's about time you tell us what happened in the last eight months.
You heard Misuzu.
Only stuff related to Brenson Corp, and nothing about you or Amou.
I can't be the one to tell you. We have a code.
A code?!
Or are you gonna take a look at my memory data?
That's something you could do!
No, we wouldn't do that. It'll go against what we are.
We're not just machines that process and store data.
--Right. --Sorry...
All units are in position and ready to go.
We're waiting for your orders, Captain Blanc.
All right! We have 1.5 times more units than before!
Let's go wipe them out!
I'm picking up enemy movement.
They'll be within combat range in 8 minutes and 40 seconds.
Got it.
Boss, how's the civilian evacuation going?
It's going smooth, but we're surrounded by mountains.
It'll take them some time for them to cross the border.
We need you to hold them off.
Roger that!
Judging from the distance to the safe zone, we have three options.
To force the enemy to retreat, to destroy them all,
or stop the unmanned units by defeating the commander and the commander unit.
Right.
We found this video recording from yesterday's battle.
This man opened fire on the enemy, triggering the battle.
When he approached the commander unit, he was shot dead.
We can infer that this man made some type of deal with the enemy commander,
but was betrayed.
This is what the enemy is capable of.
They aren't planning on letting anyone, including the civilians, go.
There's no going back.
They'll have manned units for sure. Are you ready, Amou?
Yeah, I'll be fine.
Captain, we'll be entering the combat zone soon.
Finally! All units, prepare to fire!
As soon as you see the enemies, open fire--
Even from this distance...?
It might look the same, but I tinkered with it a little!
You're set up to do some super-long-range sniping!
Dammit! Heavy armor units, move forward!
Swap out your ammo!
There's only a few, but the new armor-piercing grenades will do the trick!
Three heavy armor units have been destroyed!
Impossible!
A durable shield like that has to weigh a lot, decreasing the unit's mobility.
Shion!
Wow! It feels so light!
It's lighter in weight while maintaining its durability!
The thruster output has increased as well, so you can fly longer and faster!
My princess!
Right!
Shion's drawing the enemy's attention.
Let's go!
With the new model spec, you can go toe-to-toe
with the North American military even if you're outnumbered!
We've spotted three enemy AMAIMs! We're taking more damage!
What should we do, Captain?!
Keep it together. They just got the first strike.
It's only the three of them!
Break up our troops into three groups! Attack them individually!
Our military's AI is capable of handling this!
They're changing formation.
This attack's a bit tricky.
We need to get some distance between us.
It's started.
What's your read?
Overwhelming the enemy in numbers is an obvious strategy.
However, Captain Blanc made a wrong assumption.
What do you mean?
Until yesterday, the terrorists were fighting without supplies.
But now, they have that white original AMAIM with them.
He's also given them time.
It's safe to assume they were able to resupply and conduct maintenance.
They're completely different.
That's true. The unit specs are higher than yesterday's.
Are you saying they should've taken them on last night?
Either that, or doubled their forces.
One more thing. I actually respect their teamwork.
One unit attracts the enemy while the second attacks it.
When the enemy targets the second unit, the third strikes them down.
It's simple, but once you find yourself in that loop, it's hard to get out.
If this situation continues, the casualties will...
Yes, I feel the burden on my shoulders getting heavier.
I suppose replicas can't beat the originals.
Not yet, anyway.
Captain! If we continue taking damage, we won't be able to maintain our troops!
What are your orders, Captain?!
This is ridiculous. How can this be?
Me, running from the terrorists with my tail between my legs? No!
Brad Watt.
Captain Blanc, I suggest you put a stop to this battle now.
There's no point in losing our units unnecessarily.
If you stop now,
you can still get out of this relatively unscathed.
I appreciate your advice.
He rides on Deputy Commander Spears' coattail! The nerve of him!
Captain!
That's the commander unit!
Yeah!
Don't underestimate me!
Please retreat.
What?!
If you promise not to come after us, we won't attack anymore.
Amou...
Are you ordering me?
We know you deceived a Japanese man for your own gain.
Promise us that you'll never hurt the Japanese people ever again.
If you do, then--
Why would I stop?! You all belong on the ground, cowering at my feet!
I'd do it again and again!
You're nothing but terrorists!
Amou...
"Episode 15: Reunion"
What do you think, Captain?
How did the white original AMAIM do?
I can sense its determination, but there's grim atmosphere.
Captain, we have our new orders.
We're up against Major Alexei Zelenoy from the Eurasia military, huh?
Bring it on. It's time to test that unit out!
"Episode 16: Fierce Battle"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E16 [00p].01.eng.English

All right. Leave the civilians to us.
Thank you.
Anyway, how'd you outrun the North American military?
Our pilots are very good.
U-Um, Amou!
Yeah?
Um, well, I was just...
Uh...
I'm sorry.
Ah...
Are we leaving?
Yes, we've got our orders.
We're going to the Eurasian border.
Our enemy is Commander Alexei Zelenoy.
I've heard of him. Rumor has it that he's pretty good.
Ray, Sofia, get ready to leave.
Yes, sir!
You heard me, Charlie.
Are you serious? Even if we put a rush on it, it'll only be about 80% complete.
I'm only asking because I know you guys are good.
You know the way to an engineer's heart.
I'm counting on you.
No matter how difficult it is, I'll tame it and make it my own.
My fingers are quite limber today.
This is going to be a good day.
That's good to hear.
What's the situation?
The enemy has lost 25% of their forces,
while we've only lost 12%.
Percentages are meaningless numbers.
Even if we lose the same number of units,
the percentage is halved if we sent out twice as many units.
Numbers are important.
True. It also affects soldier's morale.
We've also received word that the enemy is sending in reinforcements.
The NAC is so greedy.
They don't mind taking territory,
but they can't stand it when it's taken away.
They're troublesome.
Indeed, they are.
What are your orders?
Let's teach them a lesson.
Yes. We'll go through Fukui and enter Kyoto.
We should be there by tomorrow.
Shion! What's up? You look so glum!
Come on. Some studies show that enjoying your meal increases nutritional--
Whoa! What's wrong?! I'm sorry, was it something I said?!
I just don't know how I feel anymore.
I'm really glad Amou's back, but...
He seems so distant.
It's almost like he's avoiding us.
Did we do something that made him hate us?
I promise you, that isn't the case.
I want to go back to how we were before, but...
Does it bother you?
The fact that Amou defeated the enemy in the last battle?
I'd be lying if I said no,
but as a fighter myself, I'm also ready for when the time comes.
But, when the time actually does come,
I'm not sure if I can be like Amou.
If I can be so calm like him.
My thoughts are all over the place, all jumbled up.
I'm struggling to sort out my feelings.
I don't know what I should do, or even what I want to do.
You really haven't changed, Shion.
Don't worry. Amou hasn't changed either.
You okay, Amou?
Yeah, I'm good.
If only I had a body, I'd rub your back.
It's fine. I'm just glad you're here.
Sir, I have information from the recon unit.
Enemy forces have additional units and are stationed at point D7.
We aren't seeing any movement.
Our troops will finish regrouping by 0430.
Is it true they're sending us reinforcements?
Yes. HQ is sending us Captain Brad Watt's troops.
We don't need his help.
Understood. You may leave.
Brad Watt. I know you're working with the Development Agency behind the scenes,
but I won't let you have your way on my battlefield.
I'll wrap everything up before you get here.
Doing maintenance work on Kenbu?
Yeah. You, too?
It's become a habit since Ms. Misuzu wasn't with us for a while.
You don't look so good.
Huh? Um, I guess?
Who knows? I don't pay attention to you that closely.
You're the one that said it.
Do you enjoy doing maintenance work?
Yeah, it's fun.
Good. That's good.
We managed to get it ready in time.
Unfortunately, the leg sections are incomplete,
and the output setting's not in line with spec, so please watch out.
Understood. Thank you.
That suit can handle rapid movement to some degree.
Really, Captain. Your requests are too darn specialized!
Anyway, I've been up all night, so I'm going to hit the sack.
I better have a good dream.
I know, I won't let you down.
Ah, a multi-wave line abreast formation.
And a very fast invasion speed at that.
Seems they don't want to wait for their reinforcements.
Team Four, flank left!
Team Five, advance! Join forces with Team Two!
We'll force our way in!
Ah, it seems they're playing right into our hands.
Enemy commander unit confirmed!
All units, charge!
Enemy troops are falling back!
Go after them!
Their commander unit has passed the destination point!
Light it up.
What?!
What's going on?!
The groundwater level's high around here, and we're in a sandy area.
You can easily induce liquefaction with enough stress.
Interesting, isn't it?
Wh-Why is it moving like that?!
We've utilized special equipment designed for snowy mountains.
Our units can move with these on because they're smaller and lighter than yours!
Target acquired! Destroy the commander unit!
It seems luck is on his side.
Continue firing! Get the enemy units away from First Lieutenant Cartland!
Roger that!
Drop off all AMAIMs!
There's an unidentified unit, most likely a new model!
Oh?
All right. This is a special day; our first battle!
Let's show them what you've got, Ghost!
I'm going to rescue First Lieutenant Cartland! Cover me!
Roger that!
This is a walk in the park for you, isn't it?
Did they reprogram their leg settings to adapt to the wetland already?!
First Lieutenant! We're here to help!
Captain Watt...
Our AI has analyzed the terrain's scan data.
Evacuate along this route!
R-Right...
They only sent one unit for the rescue! Destroy it!
You're gonna take on all this at once?
You're going to be a bigger challenge than I thought.
What an incredible machine...
First Lieutenant, this way!
This has gotten interesting! I'm going in.
Major!
I want to see its strength for myself!
I can't hold back my excitement any longer!
Shion, you may not know this, but Amou had a nightmare last night.
And he won't ask for help.
Come on! Show me what you've got!
What a surprise, the commander himself!
Deploy!
Nice! You're an excellent commander, Alexei Zelenoy!
You work well with your second-in-command as well!
He's on his own...
First Lieutenant Raymond! We need to go help the captain!
Right.
Not one bullet has hit him with that many aiming at him?!
However...!
Yes, he's still outnumbered!
I'll handle them! You guys go!
Roger that!
You're demanding a reflex faster than a human's reaction time!
Jeez, you're fraying my nerves here!
He's already responding to our moves!
What an amazing learning speed.
So be it! Let's have a sword-match, commander to commander!
Wait! His unit's responsiveness is too high!
It's impossible to take him on with your unit!
Life's worth risking when you're fighting a powerful opponent!
Get ready!
Bring it on!
That's impressive, considering your unit's specs.
You're strong. However!
Is that all you've got, Ghost?!
I'll rise higher!
Alec!
Captain.
Should we go after them?
No, I think I pushed it too hard.
Are you all right?
Yes. I'm surprised the North American military created such a monster.
And it's still incomplete.
It is?!
Yes. He didn't come after me when he should've.
At the very least, his output balance hasn't been adjusted yet.
Once they're able to complete it and go into mass production,
the North American military will clearly be the dominant force.
Dahlia, cancel my fly-fishing weekend at Lake Baikal.
There's a lot I need to think about.
Look, that's Yatagarasu's new HQ.
Everyone, welcome back. You must be tired from your long trip.
Mission accomplished! Twelve injured, zero KIA.
We also picked up two members.
I'm glad you're alive, Amou, Misuzu.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
It's fine. Your safety is what matters most!
You must be tired. You should eat up and get some rest.
Yes, sir.
Amou...
Tell us what happened to you in the last eight months.
Nothing, really...
You're lying.
If that's true, why are you distancing yourself from us?
You're acting so different and it's plain as day! Spill it.
I'm telling you, it's nothing...
We'll be the judge of that!
Please.
Tell us, Amou!
I'm sorry...
Don't give me that!
Tezuka...
I don't want to hear that!
I don't want an apology!
You're in pain!
Something's eating at you!
What is it?! Let it out!
We want to listen!
Aren't we friends?
I'm surprised about what Tezuka said...
He said you're friends.
Yeah.
Are you afraid, Amou?
Yes, I'm scared. I'm a coward!
The reason you're afraid is because they're important to you, too!

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E17 [00p].01.eng.English

Don't give me that!
I don't want to hear that!
I don't want an apology!
You're in pain!
Something's eating at you!
What is it?! Let it out!
We want to listen!
Aren't we friends?
Tezuka...
Amou, this is the first time Gashin has said something like this.
Please understand his feelings and where he's coming from...
Yeah, that's right.
How long are you going to worry my princess? Know your place.
Nayuta...
Amou...
TRYVECTA, the place where Gai and the others were created,
was attacked around the same time Brenson Corp was also attacked.
Yes, we heard. Ms. Misuzu explained it to us.
I escaped with Ms. Misuzu and others from TRYVECTA.
We headed to a backup research facility that was built in case of emergency.
Looks like the North American military expanded their territory again.
Rumor has it they've deployed a new AI.
It'd make sense...
Eurasia, Asia, and Oceanian territories are being pushed back.
It seems many Japanese people are getting caught in the crossfire.
I understand how you feel. Our time will come.
Right...
Amou, Amou, Amou!
Are you free?
Let's play! Please!
Yeah, okay. What do you want to play?
Read us a story! One of those Japanese stories!
Baseball!
Karate! Let's do Karate!
Absolutely not!
There were a lot of kids at the facility.
Staff members and their families were all living together.
Probably to prevent family members from being taken as hostages.
I get it.
The facility was big enough for everybody to live in.
Since it was built for emergencies, they had military-level defense systems,
and it was guarded by Mr. Dialo and his team.
Oh, that private military company?
Right, ARES.
The facility was located on an isolated island in the middle of nowhere.
I guess that's why it was a little too boring for the kids.
Before I knew it, I was assisting the nursery school teachers there.
And so, Momotaro and his friends set out for the Demon Island.
All right! We're gonna go to the Demon Island and beat up those evil demons!
Let's do it, woof!
I'm pumped, oo-oo-oo!
Tweet!
They're all Gai!
I bet he's gonna do the evil demons, too!
I bet you're right!
Well, how else are we gonna do this when it's just me?! Get with the program!
Don't lose your temper over what the kids say!
Take this, evil demons!
Amou.
Mr. Dialo.
Can I have a moment?
We've got it covered. You can go.
All right.
Are you really sure you want me to coach AMAIM pilots?
Our mission is mainly security.
We have access to AMAIMs, but we rarely fight in them.
Just think of it as giving advice based on your experience.
If you say so.
Phew, they're such a handful!
Even if I cloned myself, it still wouldn't be enough!
What's this? You seem to be having a blast.
I can see it in your log.
Looks like you're all good, based on the stats.
Yup, I'm good as new! I actually feel sharper than before.
You might not look any different, but I did swap a new unit in.
The one before was too damaged to keep using.
I'm glad the memory data wasn't corrupted.
By the way, I have a favor to ask.
That German guy?
Yeah, I thought he seemed shady, but...
All right, I'll see what I can find.
I just gotta tread carefully so they can't track us down.
Thank you.
You're here again?
I have the dossier on Congressman Roy Walker.
Here you go.
You seem tired.
I hate playing politics.
Negotiating, backroom deals, unspoken messages... Not my area of expertise.
Would you like some tips from me?
No, I'm fine. I'll tell you if I ever need it.
As you wish.
Those accidents that occurred overseas a few months ago...
There are rumors that the North American military was involved,
but I didn't lend my troops.
Do you have sponsors other than me?
Of course not. What a baseless accusation.
I could put an end to that rumor's source, if you'd like?
No, leave it be. If the time comes, I'll ask.
Try not to make a move without my saying. You'll put us in a bad spot.
I'm well aware.
When making sudden turns or doing a 180,
the pilot's experience is important,
but so is having the combat AI learn geographic and geological patterns.
Practice makes perfect.
It's not something that can happen overnight, then.
All right, let's do three more sets and finish for the day.
After that, we'll take a break and then go into basic training,
but do you really wanna join us?
Yes! All I did was sleep while I was recovering,
so I need to get back into shape!
I'll be fine! I never stopped training at Yatagarasu, either!
Well, give it a go, then.
Eight more laps! Keep up the speed! Don't lower your arms!
Hey, you still alive?
Just barely...
Tough, isn't it?
Mr. Dialo and his team are one of the most trusted in the industry.
I underestimated them...
Are you re-training because you plan on going back to Yatagarasu?
Yes. We can't reach out to them, but we know what's been going on.
They're clamping down on resistance organizations even harder now.
Tezuka and everybody else are hard at work.
I have to get back to them quickly.
Best not to rush things, Amou!
Misuzu has successfully gotten into contact with Brenson Corp.
Apparently, they're developing a new Kenbu over there.
Though, it'll take a little more time to complete it.
Oh, come one! I wanted to be the bearer of good news!
Once Kenbu's done, zoom! We'll be on our way, and then bam!
--We'll show up, and surprise everybody at HQ! --Okay!
New and improved, Team Gai and Amou is back!
Yeah!
Life at the facility was fun.
There was some tension, but I think I got used to it as the days went by.
Like I said before, the facility was located on a remote island.
Food, among other various things, had to be transported.
That's where we were vulnerable to attack.
Hey, the transport team's back.
They're a little behind schedule.
All right, park the vehicle!
What're they doing?!
They're not slowing down!
--Gai?! --Dammit!
It's forcing its way through the security wall!
It's even coming after me...!
This speed and viciousness...
Could it be a malware based off of Ghost?
It's disabling the defense system...!
They're inside the building! I'm gonna focus on getting the system back up!
Misuzu, you need to evacuate now!
Got it!
We know the situation, but we can't use AMAIMs inside the facility!
Everyone, get your I-Packs!
Prioritize the safety of the people!
Strike team, take down the intruders!
I'm so scared!
We're okay. It's gonna be okay.
Don't worry. We have Mr. Dialo on our side.
Here, Amou.
We have to protect the children.
Just in case, if we have to fight.
I understand.
Let's head to the server room. It's the most secure room around here.
No!
Gai? Why not?
They're trying to break in! Worst case, you'll bump into them!
Dammit, I can't even get it to budge!
No matter. We'll kill everyone in this facility and take our time later.
You two, stay here. Shoot anything that comes out.
Roger that.
We need to get moving. Let's go.
Let's go.
We've trained for this kind of situation!
We know the area better than them as well!
Dammit! There's no end to this!
It's taking up most of my resource just trying to get the system back!
I'm analyzing the program now. Just hang on for a while longer.
And to think it's just a copy! That Ghost is really something!
There's a path here!
They've found us!
There's a shelter up ahead. Let's pick up the pace.
Amou, they're coming!
Get the kids to the back! Now!
Are you okay?
Amou! Amou! This is your chance to run, Amou!
Amou!
Amou!
Calm down, Amou! It's over!
You're safe now.
Mommy, I was so scared...
So that's what's been eating at you...
You did nothing wrong. You did it to protect the kids.
It was a do-or-die situation.
I know that.
But the expressions on the enemies' faces who were gunned down,
and the fear in the kids' eyes when they looked at me...
I can't unsee them.
So I'm sorry...
Wait, Amou!
I see, so that's what happened.
Yes...
Was it all right for you to share this with us?
Amou had already asked me to tell you.
He said, "Please let Mr. Udou and Mr. Kumai know."
He knew it was necessary for the mission,
but wasn't sure if he could bring himself to talk.
I understand. Thank you for sharing.
Of course.
It must've been hard on you, too. I also know the pain of losing comrades.
No... Amou must be in more pain than I am...
Age has nothing to do with it.
It's just that adults know how to handle it better.
You did good at the briefing.
No, I'm sorry I couldn't have done better.
As expected, Congressman Walker has submitted a budget cut proposal.
Even with the battle record of when you fought against the Eurasian military,
he won't agree to the budget.
At this rate, they'll likely cut down the budget for autonomous AI development.
I see...
Don't worry. It's our job to take it from here.
Yes, sir.
I hear you've been spending some time with peculiar company lately.
He's a good businessman. He's been giving me advice on various aspects.
You should shake off the dust on you sooner rather than later.
You're someone I can pass down the mantle to one day, Brad.
Thank you, Father.
You're being very quiet, Major. It's creeping me out.
My brain's gone into hibernation.
I'm more useless than a cat in winter right now.
True, a sleeping cat is at least heartwarming to see.
There's a saying in Japan, "sleep and wait for good news."
But sleeping too much is boring.
I'm hoping for some action soon.
It seems you've got it.
You've been promoted, Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy.
They've also officially approved the proposal you've submitted.
You've been appointed as the commander in charge.
Let the party begin.
Second Lieutenant Ho Guang and the rest of you four have been released.
Your sentences were reduced. You've all been given special orders.
Report to the military HQ immediately.
Second Lieutenant Oliver Martin!
What is it?
This is from HQ. Please confirm.
All right.
What is it, Captain? There's no reason to summon me here.
Nothing you say will make me withdraw the budget cut proposal.
There's something I'd like you to see, Congressman Walker.
Are you threatening me?
Of course not. It's just that...
...news media and self-righteous reporters sus out the truth so quickly.
I figured we could build a good working relationship.
I believe Captain Watt is negotiating with Congressman Walker as we speak.
Honestly, I'm not sure how he can be so passionate.
I cannot fathom why he's so invested in manned units.
By the way, he was fishing for answers.
He asked if I had another sponsor for the incidents overseas.
How would you like me to handle this?
If push comes to shove, we'll have to cut him loose.
Do I have your approval, Deputy Commander Spears?
Yes, that's fine.
It's for the good of our army and the confederation.
Well, what a surprise.
I never would've thought you'd reach out to me.
You must be in a very tight spot, Yusei.
Kumai!
Chairman Udou.
How are Gashin and the others doing?
It's hard to say...
Are we really moving onto the next mission like this?
The war, the world, mercilessly goes on regardless of our inner turmoil.

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E18 [00p].01.eng.English

Long time no see, Mr. Suenaga! How have you been?
Um, yeah, I'm fine...
I haven't seen you in a while either, Gashin.
Yeah.
He came to us for help, so I asked you guys to gather here.
Yuusei, can you explain what's going on?
Certainly. Through my own network, a group came to me for help.
What kind of help?
Not too far from the North American border,
in the mountains of Eurasian territory,
is a sanctuary for Japanese people built by a pro-Japanese soldier.
A sanctuary...
A secret one, of course.
It was never a problem because of the distance from the border.
However, after months of North American military invasion,
the area has recently become part of the frontline.
Since the Eurasian military deemed the area to have little strategic value,
they aren't keen on sending reinforcements.
So far, the pro-Japanese soldiers stationed there are holding their own,
but they're at their limit...
Our intel says the North American military is planning another invasion soon.
If the sanctuary collapses, many Japanese people will suffer.
I know I have no right asking you this...
but I'd like you to help them. Please.
Let's do it!
I see no reason not to!
What about you, Amou?
I'm with everyone else.
All right, we'll help.
Thank you so much.
I haven't seen or talked to Yuu since the last time he came to HQ.
But you probably guessed as much, right?
Yeah, sort of. I suspected something had happened.
Yuu was an Asian military spy.
What?
To protect his autonomous city.
He was threatened to find information about Yatagarasu's HQ.
I gave Yuu fake information about the new HQ's location and when we were moving.
I also told him the information's fake.
What? But, then...
Yuu could've told the Asian military the information was fake.
If he did, they'd have set up patrols all over,
making it that much more difficult for us to move to our new HQ.
But he didn't do that.
He took the blame to protect Yatagarasu. That's what I believe, anyway.
So what about this time around?
Udou came to me prior to this, and I verified his story.
The existence of a sanctuary was well-hidden,
but I have enough data to back up what Yuusei said.
He wasn't lying.
Yuu knew the risks of being suspected himself, but he came to us for help.
Even without Kei's verification, I was going to put my trust in him.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Then why explain all this to us now?
I just wanted you guys to know.
I see...
We're arriving at our destination soon.
Copy that.
What about the AMAIMs?
The usual. They're on auto-pilot, taking a route to avoid detection.
They're on schedule.
I think I see it. Is that the place?
We're from Kumakura Farms.
We've been expecting you. Please, come in.
Welcome. We're glad you're here.
I'm Takayanagi Anna. I'll be your guide today.
Huh? Anna?
It's been forever, Shion.
Wow!
What are you doing here?!
My family lives around here.
Who's she?
A member of Arahabaki.
She exchanged numbers with my princess.
Are these the members from Yatagarasu, Anna?
Hey, Brother.
Huh?
Nice to meet you. I'm Cyril Zhirkov, the chairman of this place.
I-I'm Kumai from Yatagarasu.
He's your brother?
Yup, my brother-in-law.
And that's my big sister.
I'm Takayanagi Yuuna. It's a pleasure to meet you.
So your baby's due soon.
Are you okay to be walking?
It feels heavy, but I've been told to move around.
The sanctuary is disguised as a single corporate entity.
We make a profit by running ranches and manufacturing processed goods.
Officially, we provide the Japanese people live-in jobs here.
The military has given us permission to build residential areas.
That's why it's a city for workers.
Correct.
It's similar to Yuusei's city, but a little different.
Yeah.
I like Japanese people.
Their tradition and culture, the people, everything.
I want to protect them.
But if we simply call it a sanctuary,
military and federal government will protest and shut us down.
That's why they mustn't know.
Only a handful of my men who share my belief know the truth.
As my private property, the sanctuary's free from military interference.
One day, when peace is restored, I'd like to relinquish ownership,
and give it back to the people of Japan.
Your husband's a wonderful person.
Thank you.
Various economic blocs consider Japan to be a bridgehead.
The North American military wants to advance into the far east.
The Federation of Great Eurasia wants to advance southward.
The Asian Free Trade Entente needs a shield in the Pacific area.
The Confederation of Oceania wants to advance northward.
People in Europe believe Japan's a dead country,
so it is rarely talked about.
I'm truly sorry.
Please, it isn't your fault.
I heard there's an army protecting this area?
Just one squadron that I lead.
I pilot the commander unit.
HQ sends supplies such as ammo and the like, but not reinforcements...
It's just like Yuusei said.
Yeah.
How do you know the North American military is planning on invading again?
Eurasian HQ got the wind of it.
My men and I have been advised to evacuate.
Which means we need to hit the North American military hard.
We really need your help. Please.
All right. We'll do everything we can.
Thank you!
We're in your debt!
We'll now take a vote on the military budget.
All in favor, please raise your hands.
I'm shocked to see Roy Walker change his vote in favor of it.
I wonder what changed his mind.
I don't know, but perhaps he understands the significance of this war.
Whatever the reason, the budget's approved.
You'll be even busier, Brad.
I understand.
I'm counting on you.
So we got the budget, Charlie.
I'm glad to hear that, but could you do something about those guys?
The fresh troops from the Second Unit?
They're supposedly a new experimental unit or whatever,
but they're asking for a copy of Ghost.
You sure you're okay with this?
We can't ignore a request from an allied nation.
Besides, we're only providing them the base program,
not the learning and decision-making engine at its core. It'll be fine.
It's probably Zack Taylor's doing.
You know him?
Ever since we were students.
He's awful. The type of person you'd never want to be friends with.
--Yuuna! --Sis!
I think I'm having contractions...
All right, let's get you to the hospital.
Don't worry, I'll be right by your side.
You have important work to do. Don't worry about me.
What? But...
I'll go with her.
All right, thank you.
Men are useless at times like this.
Mr. Cyril...
I have this dream...
When peace is restored,
I want to travel all over Japan with my wife and child.
Visit different places, see various sceneries, make tons of memories...
I hope for a day when we can travel like that, for my dream to come true.
We hope your dream comes true, too.
Thank you.
That sound is from the North American military transport unit.
They must think the air defense is light. How bold of them.
Or they're trying to rile us up?
There's a North American military outpost that way.
And not just a unit or two.
They may even try to invade this area as early as tomorrow, Amou.
Yeah.
What a spectacular view. This is great! My very own toys.
What are you going to do with two platoons?
We may be in the middle of nowhere, but it's still the frontline!
We don't have soldiers to spare!
Don't worry, I'll pilot the commander unit.
Don't be ridiculous! You're an amateur. The squads work together--
You're the one who's clueless about its features, improvement, behavior...
I can operate this unit and fight better than anybody here.
Just think of me as a flying column.
Didn't HQ tell you to let me do as I please?
Tsk.
Ah, this is going to be so great.
It'll be the perfect testing ground for my first battle.
I just can't wait to play.
I see them, the enemy squads.
We've got eyes on them, too.
Estimated time of engagement is 12 minutes 20 seconds.
Good. Return to base, Masaki. We'll use the security cameras from here on out.
Roger that.
So that's our plan.
The North American military can't get wind of us fighting together.
If they get any footage of it, it'll become a huge problem.
That's why we're going to fight against each other.
Right. We need to sell it to the North American military.
We'll make sure it's believable!
We'll send you our behavior patterns.
You can keep the hits to a minimum while making it look real.
Thank you.
Sis!
I've got word that Yuuna's in the delivery room now.
We can't let the enemies get through.
Give it your all, Amou!
Right!
The new 40mm arm cannon's loaded with 20 armor-piercing shells.
It's powerful, but keep your eyes on the remaining ammo.
All right.
All shots hit their mark. Units destroyed as planned!
Let's move. Boss!
Open fire!
They're using the old Jo Hound models they stole from us! Damn terrorists!
Eurasian military units at one o'clock!
The terrorists and the Eurasian military are fighting...
Great! We can catch the terrorists in a pincer movement.
Only a few Eurasian military units are out there! Let's take both of them down!
They took the bait. We'll attack from behind as planned!
--Right! --Amou, to your right!
Huh?
Ah!
Be careful, Amou! Something's up with these units!
After the first attack, I knew the original AMAIM was here.
Your go-to tactic's to break into three for an ambush. Just as I suspected...
These units...
Attack pattern analysis complete! Match rate is 91.3%!
You...!
My princess!
Thanks, Nayuta.
My princess, that black unit has Ghost's AI engine installed!
What?!
A little birdie told me you struggled to fight against one Ghost on Oki Island.
I have six. I wonder...? Will you be able to win?
I hope you'll serve as good test subjects, at the least.
Good, their balance is broken! Crush them at once!
This is bad, Boss! We can't keep up the fake fight anymore!
How close are you, Gashin?!
I know!
I know, but... Dammit!
That's some attack!
Its viciousness is certainly that of Ghost's!
Please fall back, Mr. Kumai, Mr. Masaki!
What do you mean?!
We can't hold the frontline much longer.
If we keep this up, we'll all be killed! I don't want that!
So, at the very least, please save yourselves!
Don't be stupid!
That's not how...
...we work!
You have a baby who's waiting for your safe return!
Sis...
Come, now. Please try to be good test subjects!
Huh?
It looks like you've got this wrong.
The true threat of Ghost is its learning speed and high adaptability,
which this black unit lacks.
Not to mention the significant performance difference between the units!
Just slapping the AI on any unit doesn't make it Ghost!
Plus, we've learned these units' attack pattern and capabilities!
Let's show them we're in a completely different league!
Too much viciousness just leads to simplicity.
What?!
It's okay! Shion, it's okay.
Amou...
Please fall back. We won't continue attacking if you do.
It's not over.
We need to go help Boss and the others.
Roger that!
What happened to the North American military?
Oh, right... We successfully drove them back.
How's Yuuna and the baby?
It's a girl. They're both doing good.
She's so cute and soft!
She's smiling...
Don't be so shy, Amou.
Huh? But...
J-Just be gentle...
Um, right! Of course.
She grabbed your finger.
She's so tiny.
Well, she's a newborn.
But she's so warm, and her hands are perfect...
You should be proud, Amou.
Huh?
You saved this life.
Amou?
Sorry, it's nothing.
Sorry...
They got away?
I'm sorry, sir.
The terrorists disappeared when the North American military withdrew.
Our troops were too damaged to pursue them.
It's fine. We'll send more unmanned units.
We've prepared two additional platoons as well.
Thank you.
There's been a lot of activity at HQ recently.
I'm counting on you to defend the area.
Understood, sir.
Sorry, you guys.
I'm sorry to have worried you so much.
Thanks.
Don't mention it.
He's right. We're friends, after all. Right?
Yeah.
I'm so glad you're back to your old self, Amou!
Seriously, I'm really sorry about all that.
It's fine.
But our next special mission won't be a walk in the park.
Yeah, it's gonna be tough.
But we'll work together, the three of us, and make it a success!

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E19 [00p].01.eng.English

Did you turn off your cell phones?
--Yup. --And the PCs?
All networks have been cut off.
Cameras?
We used the blind spots to get here.
All right, let's go in.
We're on to them now!
She's so adorable!
I can't stop smiling!
Why are all babies so cute?
I can't believe this came out of a human body...
Seven pounds and six ounces, perfectly healthy.
Talk about the mystery of life.
You know, you guys were once babies, too.
We were?
Uh-huh. Each one of you had a different caretaker.
Gai, your caretaker loved robot stuff,
and incorporated her favorite show into your training materials.
Bardiche Breaker!
Ohhh...
What do you mean, "ohhh"?!
Oh, oh! What about me?!
Did they show me a brilliant genius hacker movie?!
No, you watched a lot of biographical and historical films.
So that's where I got my traditional and elegant gentleman-like personality.
You're so positive.
Kei, your caretaker was a dependable mother,
so you might've taken on her traits.
Oh, that makes sense, too!
It's hard to notice these things yourself.
Actually, it's almost the anniversary of when your base program was completed.
Base program?
Kinda like the seed of an AI.
We designed Gai, Kei, and Nayuta based on it.
Yeah?
I see, this sounds interesting. Give it a try, then.
Thank you so much!
I'll tell Kumai and the others to help you as well,
and that this is a special top-secret mission!
We got a special mission.
It's top-secret, so it must be extremely difficult.
Are you all ready for this?
We left all our digital devices behind.
The electromagnetic blockers are set up as well.
What about the security system?
The surveillance cameras are active, but the access code has been changed.
We've also intentionally created blind spots.
Please use those areas when traveling.
All right, let's get this meeting started.
The execution date is June 2nd. I'd like to move forward with Amou's plan.
I like this idea! It's a lot of work, but still...
Sorry about that.
We'll divide the team up into three like we always do.
Maki, Muramatsu, and Amou will handle the programming.
Masaki and Gashin, you'll--
Oh! Is this a strategy meeting?
Huh?!
You left your cell, my princess.
You'd be lost without me, Angelo, by your side.
--Huh? What? --Count us in for this meeting.
Wait... Uhh...
Shoot, I forgot to turn it off...
Break it!
Please don't!
Take him out!
Eek! Stop it!
No! Don't touch me there!
Looks like the secret's still safe.
Hmm, that was kinda suspicious.
I agree.
I can't access the surveillance system. Seems they changed the code.
They left their cell phones in their rooms, too.
They're up to something!
Bring it on! They won't be able to fool us in a million years!
We'll do whatever it takes to solve this mystery!
Let's investigate!
Nope, this won't work.
This is a bit old, too.
Nothing's really catching my eye...
Whatcha doing?
Well, the MR--
MR?
Ah!
What about the MR?
Wh-What are you talking about?
Come on, don't try and hide it. You're a terrible liar.
I even know you have a crush on Misuzu.
Huh?!
Don't worry, I get it!
But do you really want to hide your feelings forever?
No, of course not.
Tell you what, I'll teach you how to get Misuzu to like you.
What?!
If you tell me what you're up to, that is.
Don't you wanna know?
Just tell me. Tell me everything.
--Spill it! --Come on, be a man!
Are you really happy with the way things are?
Wouldn't it be great if someone could help with your laundry?
Kei?!
Waking up to the smell of miso soup,
coming home to a house with the lights already on, to a home-cooked meal.
A sense of peace that you can't get if you're single, the perfect married life.
I-I don't know anything about that, but sure! Anyway, talk to you later!
Wait! Don't you want to reassure you parents back home?
They've been begging you to have kids.
How do you know that?
I can help you if you'd like. I can find a perfect partner for you.
It'll be so easy in the hands of us, I-LeS.
Operating voltage, check.
All actuators, check.
Kumai! I've been looking for you.
I'm not talking.
"I'm not talking," huh? So, you are hiding something.
Like I said, I'm not talking.
You're a very loyal man.
I get it. I totally get the hardships you're going through.
You sacrificed your family life for the restoration of Japan.
Divorced your wife and left your only daughter before joining Yatagarasu.
But that was to protect them.
And you haven't talked to them since. That must be so hard...
But with my help, you could talk to them over a secure line...
What?!
Don't worry, it'll be our secret!
As long as you share yours...
Don't underestimate me! Sometimes, a man has to endure pain!
Dammit!
No one spilled the beans...
They're harder to crack than expected.
But there are other ways to do this.
They're bound to leave clues when they make a move.
Did you hear? Gai and the others were snooping around.
Yeah, they told me!
It sounds like they're digging around for information.
Do you think they're listening in on this conversation, too?
The signal blocker device is on, so we should be fine.
But let's keep our guards up.
It's not shopping day today.
The store's different than their usual place, too.
It seems they're open to Japanese customers, but it's out of their way.
They might as well tell us they're up to something.
Huh?
What was that?!
These paintballs take 30 minutes to vaporize.
Ah! What the--
Dammit, this is Dialo's doing!
I never expected them to go this far.
Don't they understand that the more they hide, the harder we'll try?
There are other ways to find out the truth...
We're on to them now!
This camera originally came installed in this facility.
It isn't a part of Yatagarasu's system. We're lucky it's still active!
Nice work.
I've accessed the register at the store they used.
Items purchased were hard drives, high-capacity memory, and...
Interior decor?
--Huh? --Are they planning on building a rocket?
They wouldn't need decor for that.
Those are probably to throw us off.
Wait! Could they be making a new AI?!
Huh?! They wouldn't!
No, it's possible! That explains why they've kept us in the dark...
So what, they don't need us anymore...?
This can't be... My princess!
We need confirmation... We're going undercover!
No one's around. Over.
Keep going. Over.
And you're really sure I'd be able to win Ms. Misuzu's heart?
You'll teach me how to make her fall head over heels for me?
Yeah, a gentleman keeps his word.
I'm only giving you a peek inside, okay? I won't tell you about the mission!
That's fine. We won't get you in trouble.
All right!
--Huh?! --Get him!
--Ow, oww! --You did this to yourself!
You traitor! This is why you're never popular with the ladies!
You're one to talk!
Chief!
Dammit, we picked the wrong person for the job!
I told you picking him was a mistake!
Hey, isn't that a little harsh...?
Give it up! We will carry out this special mission.
Man, they really mean business!
We can't give up! There must be another way!
No, the only option is to confront them head-on.
I'm a little afraid to find out the truth,
but I'd rather hear it from Gashin.
Just a while longer... A while longer and this'll be over...
We just need to keep it a secret until then...!
Oh, Shion! Why are you toying with my emotions?
Nayuta?
Day or night, all I think about is you.
I'm flooded with emotions and I feel like I'm going mad...
Yet, you leave me behind and disappear!
Oh, tell me, who has stolen your heart?
Um...
Come on, tell me! True love must exist between us!
I think you're tired. You should get some sleep.
Um... R-Right...
Let me help.
No, I'm almost done.
I see.
Yeah.
Gashin, you look exhausted.
It's nothing. I'm fine.
Does it have anything to do with whatever you're doing in the audiovisual room?
What are you talking about?
There's no need to hide it. We have an idea of what's going on.
That's why I'm asking you, begging you...
I want to hear it from you, and not from anybody else!
There's nothing to talk about! Really!
Even after all this, you still won't tell me...
Is that tablet offline, too?
We know you guys are up to something! Just tell us!
H-Huh?!
What's this about?
Don't play dumb! We know something's up!
Come on, what are you saying?
So this is something you absolutely want to keep hidden?
Does our bond mean nothing?!
We've stuck together like brother in arms, but now you're tossing me aside?!
That's not true! I couldn't have gotten this far without you!
Even in TRYVECTA,
if you weren't there, I wouldn't have come back to Japan.
Amou... Then tell me what you're hiding!
I told you, it's nothing!
Amou!
Everything will all make sense tomorrow. Just one more day...
"The wind in Yakumo"...
..."smells of bamboo lily."
We barely managed it, but it's done! We're ready when you are! I'm exhausted!
Gai!
Hey, Gai?
Gai's gone!
So's Kei!
Oh, Shion.
Don't tell me Nayuta's gone, too?
Yeah, I can't find him anywhere.
Hmm? No, I haven't seen them.
They're not here.
No, not a clue.
Huh? Gai and the other two disappeared?
We've looked everywhere.
I might have an idea...
Gai, are you in there?
Nayuta, please answer me!
We're all worried about you guys!
Worried? It's too late for that!
Gai's right. We know you guys are creating new AIs.
Huh?!
We understand that our job is done.
What are you talking about?
It's just a misunderstanding! Why would me make--
Enough with the lies! We don't want anything to do with you!
Uhh...
Are they really not coming out?
They've shut themselves in...
What do we do?
Leave it to me!
Don't! Just stay out of this!
I think it's best if one of their partners talk to them. Shion?
Huh?
Uhh...
Don't get mad if I can't pull it off.
O Nayuta! Wherefore art thou Nayuta?!
Huh?
I wish to see your sweet face.
I hope my love for you reaches you!
M-My princess!
Idiot, don't fall for it!
Sorry, my love didn't reach Nayuta.
Nice try, though!
Gashin, you go next!
Huh?!
Kei is more level-headed than Gai
and will listen if you pour your heart out.
I love Kei so much.
I treasure Kei more than anything in my life.
Thank you very, very much for always being there for me.
--Oof... --Yeesh.
Wow, you couldn't sound flatter than that.
At least put some emotion into it...
Gashin...
Oh, come on! Don't let him fool you!
Even Gashin failed.
Unsurprisingly.
We have no other choice. Amou, you're our last hope!
Gai, listen to me.
I don't blame you guys for being mad. We were hiding something from you.
And we're sorry.
But we weren't neglecting you three.
We weren't making new AIs!
You three are very important and irreplaceable to us!
It's true! Nothing can replace you!
So give us another chance and believe in us, please?
Just this once...
Okay, let's do this!
Huh? What's this?
It's showtime!
Wha...?
We're in the same space as you guys?
Huh? What? What's going on?!
Amou! What is this?!
Look, it's appearing!
Happy birthday!
Those faces...!
Our surprise party was a success!
We didn't tell you because we wanted to surprise you.
After learning about your birthday, Amou came up with this MR party.
Everyone was onboard, and started prepping behind your backs.
Not bad for a rush job, huh?
It was a lot of work, though.
We're sorry we got you worried!
So that's what this was about... Not a new AI, but a party...
This is... This is so...
Here.
This feels a little weird.
Like I said yesterday.
Gai, it's you who got me through so much stuff.
Thanks.
Amou...
Let's celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Gai, Kei, and Nayuta!
Cheers!
Happy birthday!
Special mission complete!
There's something I have to do, so I'll excuse myself.
Understood.
Thank you all for waiting.
Wow, that birthday party sure was a blast!
I've never experienced anything like it!
I wouldn't mind having one every day!
If you had it every day, it wouldn't feel special.
I'm more concerned about Mr. Udou.
Yeah, he left mid-party. I wonder if something happened?

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E20 [00p].01.eng.English

I never imagined there'd be a day when I'd see you all like this.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy of the Federation of Great Eurasia.
Temporary Captain Ho Guang of the Asian Free Trade Entente.
Second Lieutenant Oliver Martin of the Confederation of Oceania.
Likewise, Chairman Udou Kiryu.
I'll cut to the chase. We're prepared to support Yatagarasu--
no, the people of Japan.
Historians of future generations will note that
this was the day when we all took the first step to change the world.
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
You're clear to unload! Be careful, though!
Where could Chief and the others be when we've got something so cool here?
Are you serious...?
Yes. The Asian, Oceanian, and Eurasian blocs
will form a cooperation organization in a specific Japanese region.
They approached us to see if we, Yatagarasu, could join.
In return, they'll liberate the Hokuriku region, an enclave of the AFTE.
The three blocs will treat it as Japanese land and allow autonomy there.
Wow...
In other words, we'll be taking back a part of Japan.
Wow, that's great!
That's mighty generous of them.
It shows how alarmed they are of the NAC.
They'll "liberate" and return our land?
They should be returning all of our land.
Tezuka...
Anyway, can they be trusted?
The Japanese government became a puppet of the NAC. We may end up that way, too..
I don't disagree, but I think this is still worth considering.
The land they plan on returning includes Eurasian and NAC territories.
The Federation of Great Eurasia has already agreed to it,
and we plan on negotiating with the NAC after Japan's autonomy is restored.
The three blocs will back us up when the time comes.
It includes Mr. Cyril's area, too.
Yeah.
It doesn't sound like a bad deal...
...but it's not as simple as that.
Isn't that right, Chairman?
That's correct. There are two major issues.
Location is one.
Just like we mainly operate in the Chugoku region,
there are others that operate mainly in the Hokuriku region.
Resistance organizations have strong horizontal relationships,
but not a hierarchical one.
If we, Yatagarasu, act like representatives of Japan,
those that fought to protect that region wouldn't be amused.
'Cause they'd lose face...
The other problem would be with the NAC?
The Japanese government may exist only in name, but they're under NAC's thumb.
"To protect Japan," the NAC is able to take aggressive military actions.
Obviously, the three blocs would welcome the Japanese government,
but the NAC would never allow it.
There's no reason for them to give the enemy an advantage.
If they do allow it, then they become the enemy of Japan.
And then they'd lose face.
Which means there's a long road ahead before we could negotiate with the NAC.
Why are you telling us this?
It was a request from Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy.
We have high expectations for the three original AMAIMs' combat ability.
To be completely honest, that's all we care about.
We know there's another one in Hokkaido, but it's out of my jurisdiction.
So my hands are tied.
We think highly of the original AMAIMs you have.
However, that doesn't mean we'll steal or seize your technology by force.
Doing so would upset the military balance and trust between us.
Doubts and fear would tear us apart, which goes against our initial goal.
How the original AMAIMs will be handled will be written in the document.
This will be based on legal grounds.
We three economic blocs are open to the cooperation organization.
You can take it or leave it. We hope you'll make the smart decision.
You're MAILeS pilots.
That's why I thought you should know.
Um... Hmm?
What about me?
Well, you're one of us, and the president and chief developer of TRYVECTA.
Thank you.
Would you all think about it?
What do you think?
Well, I don't think it's a bad idea.
Yeah, but I'm sure there'd be lots of issues.
More than what Mr. Udou mentioned.
We'll even have to go head-to-head with the North American military.
They've always been our enemy.
Sure, but...
Hey, now. Don't be so down, Amou!
It's normal to feel nervous when you're about to start something new.
It's also unprecedented.
Once the ball starts rolling, the consequences will impact the future.
That's likely why Udou hasn't come to a decision.
Yeah...
You all talking about that?
Try not to talk about it in places like this.
You never know who's listening.
Seriously, there's nothing better than shiny new parts!
The smell of fresh oil and everything
really gets my appetite going! These are sensitive topics. Understood.
Gashin, Amou, and Shion were discussing it, huh?
Yes...
What did the organization in Niigata say?
They were confounded.
Your initial assessment?
A ratio of six to four, with more opposers than supporters.
I guess they aren't fond of the idea that we'd be the new face of Japan...
I'm sure that's not the only reason, but...
What do you plan to do if Gashin and the other two oppose?
We can't simply dismiss the three pilots' opinions.
So you're leaving it up to them?
No, it's us adults that'll make the final call.
It's ours and the prior generations' fault
that Japan is currently divided and ruled by strangers.
We mustn't leave this painful legacy to the next generation.
We, the adults, must take responsibility, so that the children can live freely.
That's my goal, at least.
Of course.
We should go for it.
I thought it over.
It's maddening to be in their debt, but we'd still be getting Japan back.
Even if it's just one area, it's a big step forward.
I choose to move forward rather than waiting at a standstill.
We can deal with the problems as we go.
Better than fretting over it right now, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, I agree with you.
It makes me happy to think that our actions are finally bearing fruit.
All thanks to you, my princess!
It was a team effort, silly.
If it means the Japanese people can live like Japanese people...
If it's going to help those who live in Japan, I'm in.
Yeah!
Exactly!
Ah, are they the original AMAIM pilots?
They're young but talented.
Yes, I know from experience.
I'd like to start, since we're all here.
First off, Chairman Udo, what's your answer to yesterday's proposal?
We'd like to officially accept
and join the cooperation organization.
How are things going with the organizations in Hokuriku?
We're still working on it, but they're all lending their ears.
I believe we can get everyone on board within a few days' time.
He's making it sound easy, but this was only possible
because of his tenacious persuasion during numerous meetings.
That said, I'd like to verify one thing.
Will you really enact laws to protect the rights of the Japanese people?
We'll include that in the document as well.
However, we will not allow immigration to New Japan from other territories.
Understand?
Yes. What...? But that's...
They're not saying this out of malice.
If the Japanese people can live as Japanese people,
many would rush over to New Japan.
But at the start of restoration, we'll have no economic base to support them.
We need to avoid New Japan from falling.
Of course, once it takes off...
We'll let the wind decide what the future will hold.
Anyway, now that everyone's in agreement,
let's kick off the signing ceremony.
We'll leave immediately to assemble in what will become New Japan!
I'm temporary First Lieutenant Sun Qiong from the AFTE.
This hangar is for your exclusive use.
Please make yourselves at home.
Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
I'll excuse myself.
This is great. We'll be able to work a lot more efficiently.
Reiki and Kenbu were sent to Hokuriku yesterday, ready for final adjustments.
With all this equipment, we can assemble Jogan's new armor and weapon sooner.
Don't worry, you'll catch up to them in no time.
Right.
I've never been on a plane before.
Me neither.
We're flying between Asian territories, so no red flags.
We don't need fake IDs. This is a breeze!
I'm Alexei Zelenoy.
Udou Kiryu.
Nice to meet you all.
I'd love to sit and chat, but the signing ceremony is starting.
This way.
W-Wow...
Remember this moment well.
This will be a turning point in history!
"New government founded: part of Japan liberated by the AFTE" Just now, the
representatives of the Eurasia, the AFTE, and the Oceania
have signed the document agreeing to the cooperation organization.
The AFTE territory centering around Hokuriku will be liberated,
transferring full sovereignty to the newly established government there.
What are they thinking?! They just created a country within a country!
Are they doing this out of spite?
This will shift the political climate drastically.
Thank you all for your hard work.
Follow me, please.
She's pretty.
What?
Wh-Why are you making that face? Stop it.
Shion!
Anna! What are you doing here?
Getting some stuff done, since Brother's sanctuary is now a part of New Japan.
I'm representing him.
He still needs to take care of his newborn baby.
I see!
This is so exciting.
Yeah, it really is.
Hey, are you free tonight? Let's catch up.
Yes, of course!
Seems you and Major Cyril Zhirkov know each other well.
I proposed we include them in New Japan.
Figured that'd make it easier for you guys to join.
Was I wrong?
Um, no, I mean...
He knows.
Hmm? Who are you talking to?
It's bad manners to eavesdrop on a private conversation.
Th-That's not what this is!
Amou, just show him! He'll find out sooner or later.
O-Okay...
A sheep? No! I'm a lion-dog!
Did you design this?
N-No, Gai came up with it.
I'm Gai, the autonomous AI in Kenbu! Nice to meet you!
Hm, it speaks smoothly. How high is its IQ?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's super-duper high! Don't take me for an idiot!
You certainly talk like one.
What?!
I had Major Zhirkov secretly send me your combat data.
You urged the enemy commander to retreat. Why?
Why?
Why didn't you kill him?
Because I didn't think it was necessary.
Did the AI tell you that?
No, it was my choice.
Hmm.
Is that a problem?
I'm not talking about right and wrong.
I'm asking if you're prepared to kill your enemies when push comes to shove.
Yes.
You need to, in a war.
You aren't in the wrong at all.
I believe we can be good friends.
I'd like to have a drink with you one day.
Grow up into an adult sooner.
That's...
I'll be there, too!
But you can't drink.
Sorry to disappoint, but there's this MR technology that we used before!
Oh?
I never imagined I'd see you again like this.
Me neither.
Looks like the AFTE gave up a lot of land for this.
Got stuck with the short end of the stick?
The enclaves were difficult to manage since the NAC expanded its territory.
Communication, transportation of human resources and supplies, supply lines...
The NAC interfered with us on many occasions.
Some were glad to get rid of the thorn in their side,
allowing the consolidation of forces.
I see.
We're giving up the land,
but Eurasia and Oceania are responsible for the manpower and budget.
So it evens out.
That's good.
I was relieved when I heard about this proposal.
I didn't want to point our guns at you.
You and me both.
Did you get an email from Yuusei?
Yeah, he said I beat him to it,
but he sounds happy for us.
The framework of New Japan was largely based on
Yuusei's autonomous city and Zhirkov's sanctuary.
Yeah. You should share that with him!
Gashin, give me a hand, will ya?!
On it!
Have you lost your mind?
Former soldier of an infantry battalion in the First Area Army.
Once chosen as a candidate for a world shooting championship.
You had a brilliant career, but now you live in the underworld.
But I can wipe your slate clean, give you a new life.
You think I'd trust you?
I'm crossing a dangerous bridge myself.
Or would you rather take me down with you?
Your only choice is to follow my orders or die.
Thank you.
You need to work on your tailing skills, Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis.
I could write a letter of recommendation for the Intelligence Agency's
special training program, if you'd like?
Have you really not noticed?
The Public Safety Department is making their move.
You do know... Why are you doing this?!
You've changed since we acquired Ghost!
Request for your discharge, Second Lieutenant Sofia Louis.
Before you get in my way.
A cooperation organization founded by the three blocs?
New Japan? This is absurd!
Meaning, the NAC will not accept it?
Of course not. We have the Japanese government.
What they're doing is supporting terrorist organizations.
To accept it is to give in to terrorism!
But it's the politicians that have stepped into the spotlight.
Scheming bastards...
The nerve of them to say they'll welcome the Japanese government.
You won too hard.
And you pushed the three blocs to unite.
I told you,
you must win a little and lose a little, maintaining the balance.
I don't need a lecture from you.
My apologies.
Your orders are to dismantle this cooperation organization, correct?
We'll provide anything you need.
Am I free to use any means necessary?
I didn't say anything or hear anything. And you'll--
...delete our communication records.
The NAC just contacted us, letting us know that they'd like to hold a meeting.
Not to negotiate about the Japanese government or the territory,
but as a preliminary step forward.
Therefore, each bloc's representatives will not be attending this meeting.
The meeting in Tokyo will be attended by me, three assistants,
and you, Shiiba Amou.
Why me?
It was their request.
They asked that the original AMAIM pilot skilled in hand-to-hand combat join.
What...?
You'll be a guest, so there's no need to attend the actual meeting.
But why?
You must've caught someone's eye there, as well.
"Episode 20: New Japan Cooperation Organization"
"Next on AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline" Hold up, are we really gonna march into
enemy HQ?!
Don't be silly, it's not like we're going there to fight.
It was Captain Brad Watt that requested your presence.
Who knows what he's up to.
"See you in the next episode!"

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E21 [00p].01.eng.English

We may be in NAC territory, but we're guests here.
They aren't going to harm us.
We've been expecting you.
Thank you for the warm welcome.
That's him, the man who requested your presence here.
You must be tired, so I apologize,
but we'll be taking you straight to the conference center.
Follow me, please.
I'm reporting live from the guest house entrance.
Today, the future of the world will be determined here,
"Streaming live from the guest house entrance" "Peacemaking conference with the NAC to liberate Japan begins"
as the NJCO, New Japan Cooperation Organization, and NAC
begin their preliminary meeting.
There's Congressman Roy Walker!
"Streaming live from the guest house entrance" "Peacemaking conference with the NAC to liberate Japan begins"
Chosen as a mediator for this meeting,
his actions could drastically impact the future of Japan.
Lieutenant Colonel!
I'm fine. What about you?
I-I'm okay, too.
Call the ambulance!
And the police!
Congressman Walker's been shot!
They're just protecting us.
Of course, if the situation changes, they'll quickly point their guns at us.
Who'd plan an assassination...?
Who knows? I'm sure the NAC is frantically trying to find the sniper.
Amou, I updated Udou and the others on our situation.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Amou and Alexei are safe.
But, as material witnesses and for their protection,
they're under house arrest at a hotel.
Amou...
Now's no longer the time to be holding a meeting.
We need to get them back as soon as possible.
I doubt they'd let them go that easily.
Who was the sniper?!
The NAC is currently investigating.
It could be the IEU, or infighting within the NAC.
Resistance organizations in Tokyo are another possibility.
It was a sniper attack in the NAC territory
that started the Boundary War, too.
To this day, it's unclear which army was responsible.
Regardless, we need to do everything we can,
just in case.
So that's the gist of it.
We don't know how the situation will play out.
Finish installing Jogan's new equipment ASAP.
Understood.
You were at the hot springs...
You remember me.
Currently, Ghost is hiding in the Oki Islands.
German Gobert arranged everything.
He weaseled himself into the North American military,
the largest in the world, by offering up Ghost.
Camouflaging them as accidents,
he then attacked Brenson Corp and the TRYVECTA facilities.
According to online rumors, the North American military is behind it.
Calm down.
I'm Captain Brad Watt from the North American military.
Why would a soldier conduct an interview?
Someone else will be here to do that.
I've been given special permission to speak to you two.
We've done nothing wrong. There's nothing to say.
You can exercise your right to remain silent during the interview.
You guys were awfully quick to take us into custody after Roy Walker's shooting.
You're either very good, or you knew something was going to happen.
I wonder...
Our security level was raised in order to handle any contingencies.
Who was the shooter?
It's under investigation.
Why are we under house arrest?
You're not. This is for your own protection.
You're free to do as you please in this room, even use your cell phones.
Unfortunately, we do have some communication restrictions in place.
He's right.
Physically, I'm still in Hokuriku.
All I can do is communicate with you, so watch your back.
We'll cooperate for a peaceful resolution,
but we don't know anything.
Which is why you two could be targeted.
Hence the protective custody.
Captain.
Looks like my time's up. I'll see you later.
Yesterday, Congressman Walker was shot by a sniper.
Fortunately, he survived the attack.
To bring peace to Japan, he continued his efforts to end the war quickly.
He accepted the position as a mediator, taking the NJCO very seriously.
However, his hopes were all but crushed by an act of cowardice.
We cannot imagine the depth of his disappointment,
but the meeting with the NJCO will be canceled.
That's all. Any questions?
Do you have a lead on the sniper?
The investigation is underway, with all hands on deck.
Will the meeting be rescheduled?
We're not at that point yet. Apprehending the shooter takes priority.
Last question.
Our sources state that the three blocs' Special Forces
have infiltrated Tokyo.
I can't disclose our source, but surely the NAC knows about this?
Well played. Even with baseless rumors, conversations can be steered.
That's how you manipulate public opinion.
Our investigations are related to sensitive information,
so we cannot answer.
So you do know about it?
Wouldn't that mean the NJCO's behind this shooting incident?
No comment.
However, seeing that we're at war with them, that's entirely possible.
We don't know who the shooter is,
but this is an assault and a violation of world peace.
We're prepared to retaliate against this atrocity.
For all intents and purposes, we've got the declaration of war.
I'm glad you're all right.
Perfect, an unwelcome visitor.
I heard you were wearing a bulletproof vest.
Thanks to the special police's advice.
You were lucky.
Is this all part of your plan?
You're well protected in this military hospital. No need to worry.
A-All right, I did my part! Where's my money?
I just paid. Please confirm the transfer.
Ah... Let me know if you need me again!
Now to make arrangements to take care of him...
You can start a war with just a few people...
...and a little seed money.
Are you worried about the captain?
You're right, he hasn't been acting like himself lately.
He's always been a daredevil, but he was more jovial.
Can I trust you, Warrant Officer Hardy?
If Captain Watt is walking a dangerous path,
will you be able to stop him?
Of course.
Do you know this man?
Pike Davis, 32 years old.
Ex-soldier, former candidate for a world shooting championship.
Two years ago, he shot and killed two fellow soldiers.
He was never caught, and he even briefly worked with the mafia.
What about him?
The other day, I saw the captain make contact with this man.
Maybe the captain ordered him to shoot Roy Walker...!
Impossible. He'd never do that.
I wish I could believe that, but...
If you're going to look into this, I'll help.
Just don't do anything rash on your own.
Yes, sir.
We heard back from Temporary Captain Guang.
The North American military's started their advance on the Asian borders.
There have been minor conflicts in the past,
but it seems they've rescinded the temporary arbitration they had.
The fact that they're advancing now could be an act of retaliation.
If they breach the border and continue their advancement,
the NAC will control the west side of the main island.
In other words, the AFTE's only territory will be the northern area of Kyushu.
If the AFTE decides that Japan isn't worth controlling...
They could potentially withdraw from Japan.
If that happens, the NJCO will cease to exist,
making it more difficult to realize our vision of New Japan.
Kumai.
Sir.
The AFTE's sending reinforcements from all over, but it'll take time.
You guys are closer to the border.
Get there immediately and help them out!
Roger that.
Just in time, huh?
Yeah.
Dammit, quit dancing around!
Your attacks are too predictable!
This is bad. They'll breach the front line at this rate.
To the west of the front line is a lake.
Our communication base station is on an island there.
If they destroy that base station...
Kei, gather intel on the area.
You got it!
First and second platoons are destroyed!
The enemy forces are still advancing!
Dammit! We can't hold them off. The front line's gonna collapse!
All units, fall back to the secondary defense line!
Good, we're almost there!
Now! Fall back!
You can't get to us now!
What?!
Your sniper missed.
He's only human, he's bound to make mistakes from time to time.
Have you taken care of him?
Don't worry, we'll take care of him, along with that journalist.
Never betray my trust again.
Of course not.
I-I did everything like y-you told me to!
Give me my passport!
Good, this won't leave a trail.
They've got amazing mobility...!
Major Kaku, have you received orders from HQ?
Yes, we're ready for it.
All right. Here's the proposed strategy.
While the unmanned units are drawing enemy fire,
you're to retreat back to the communication base station.
Roger that. I'm partially transferring my command!
Transfer of command confirmed. Executing the mission!
What...? Their movements are completely different!
Apologies for the wait!
Thanks for coming. Deploy to the left flank.
Roger that! They've got the rest...
Three hundred meters remaining!
Two hundred!
One hundred!
I'm gonna destroy the base station and everything with it!
Zero!
Targets acquired! We're locked on to all enemy units!
Engage!
What?!
Its power and range are unparalleled!
Even though we've lost some mobility...
...no ammo or laser can penetrate this shield!
Such firepower...
We've destroyed half of the enemy force.
That's plenty. Let's move on to search and destroy!
Let's go!
What is that thing...? It isn't just a long-range sniper?!
All right! Follow the original AMAIM's lead!
The North American military has retreated.
We owe our victory to you all.
Thank you for helping.
We were able to do a lot more damage than anticipated.
Hopefully, they'll stay quiet for a while.
Damn terrorists...!
How rude of you to not knock.
I apologize, but there's been a change in our situation.
There was a battle on the Asian border on the west side of the main island.
The original AMAIM sniper's arrival resulted in our catastrophic defeat.
You two will never be released from here now.
Why not?!
We've put a blot on the all-mighty North American military's record.
It shows that the NJCO's force
is more than capable of taking on the NAC.
No longer over-optimistic, perhaps we're hostages against the NJCO.
Maybe even to use us as scapegoats for the shooting incident?
You're free to speculate.
What's this?
It's a fake security card for the hotel.
Isn't this a terrorist's go-to trick?
Unfortunately, it's only good for an hour.
You want us to escape?
I gave the same cards to your assistants as well.
I don't know what your end game is, but I won't be played with.
Just so you know, the AI we have is quite smart.
It can delete any evidence that could work against us.
Like the fact that I'm here.
Whether you escape or not is up to you. Now, if you'll excuse me.
If it's only good for an hour,
we'll likely be detained if we wait around.
I'm going. I don't plan on being imprisoned for a crime I didn't commit.
I can clear my name later.
Exactly! As long as you're alive, you can do anything!
Are you ready to do the same?
Yes!
I see... So they've escaped. Understood.
Jeez, we're in deep trouble now.
We're back to being fugitives again...
--"Again"? --U-Uh, never mind!
The North American military are hunting you down.
We're sending reinforcements, but...
They won't let us escape that easily.

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E22 [00p].01.eng.English

It looks like they haven't cast a net this far.
Your escape's all over the news, though.
"Sudden disappearance of the NJCO delegation."
The consensus in the NAC is that we were behind the sniper incident.
It's the devil's proof, trying to prove that you didn't do what you didn't do.
We're at a disadvantage.
What happened to the assistants?
They'll head to the NJCO separately.
If we travel together, we'll be a bigger group, attracting unwanted attention.
They're professionals. They'll be fine.
We don't have a lot of time to waste, either.
We should get moving. We'll find a vehicle and supplies on the way.
Let's go.
"Our delegates' actions are currently limited,
making it very difficult to secure their freedom and prove their innocence.
Therefore, for their rights and safety, we urged them to return home."
How does that sound for public announcement?
I think that's fine. We'll take it from here.
Gai, what's the status on Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy and Amou?
They're on the move around this area.
Since I'm physically located here,
all I can do is communicate with them.
They're moving carefully, trying to stay under the radar.
Naturally, the North American military will send pursuit groups.
We can't just sit on our hands, either.
However, if we move in large groups, we'll get in each other's way.
Masaki, head an advance team and meet up with the Lieutenant Colonel.
Take whoever you need.
Yes, sir!
I'll accompany you. I'm Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Zelenoy's second-in-command.
All right. This mission requires us to be swift and discreet.
Once the advance team joins up with them,
the backup team will hold off any pursuers.
Lieutenant Colonel and Amou's safety is top priority.
Kumai, you head the backup team.
Sir!
Which means we'll be in the backup team?
Yes. We're counting on you, Shion, Nayuta.
--Yes, sir! --We're on it!
I hope it was all right for me to give out the marching orders.
Of course. We're just supporters.
It'd be pointless if you don't take the initiative in NJCO matters.
All right, everyone, get ready quickly.
Yes, sir!
You want us to go?
Yes. The first pursuit group is already getting ready for deployment.
You'll be part of the second pursuit group,
working together with the first to go after the fugitives.
However, due to the recent battle with the Eurasian military,
my unit is currently getting a complete overhaul.
I cannot deploy.
You'll be given two platoons of unmanned AMAIMs and a command vehicle to use.
Understood.
Anyway, I wonder how they escaped?
You think there's a traitor among us? Anyone come to mind?
No, nobody.
However, doesn't this give us a valid reason to invade New Japan?
Of course. We're already working on that as well.
I'll inform you when the time comes.
Yes, sir!
You heard him.
We'll use Capricorn and Ghost to calculate their anticipated route.
Go gather intel for us and report back with what you find.
You have your own ways, don't you?
That's fine, but what will you do with them?
Are you really going to capture them?
As long as we have their location, we can use them in any way we want,
at our own convenience.
I only wish to serve my father.
How much time do you need?
Three hours should be enough for my first report.
Use channel A37.
Perhaps his loyalty towards his father is stronger than I thought.
That makes him easier to manipulate.
Well, I suppose it's time to participate in this economic activity called war.
Mr. Alexei! Is this enough?
Ah, not too bad.
You're getting good at this.
This is my second time on the run.
All right, wait there while I clean this fawn.
Not bad yourself!
All thanks to my survival training when I joined the military.
I actually like to do these sorts of things.
Good thing I borrowed a knife and seasonings from a vacation house on the way.
Can you start the fire?
Try to use dry wood to avoid too much smoke.
R-Right!
Why are you letting him take charge?!
Because...
I heard about various companies in Europe and Africa
being involved in unfortunate accidents or incidents.
Along with the rumors that the NAC was behind it.
Are you saying Captain Brad Watt was pulling the strings?
I have no proof, but based on various circumstances, yes.
He worked with German and obtained Ghost.
Brenson Corp and TRYVECTA were attacked.
If he attacked those children to monopolize the technology...
I'll never forgive him.
I see, that's why you were so angry back there.
They say never judge a book by its cover, but his tactics are nefarious.
And if that's the case, we can't afford to take our time.
He's the one that let us go.
Amou!
Search the area and report the current status to the main unit!
How'd you know?
Cell towers can be used as radars if you know what to do.
I infiltrated the base station and... Well, I'll spare you the details.
We're still ahead of them, but they're closer to us than I thought.
Let's hurry. It'll be a race against time to get to the rendezvous point.
Right!
These are units seized from the NAC and transported units from Eurasia.
We also have combat vehicles and the necessary weaponries.
This is great.
He's hesitant about this whole "yesterday's enemy is today's friend" situation.
I get it.
Politics aren't my thing.
It's a lot easier for me to be out there in the frontlines.
I don't even want to be a pivotal member of the New Japan government.
I want to be one of the foundation stones.
I believe we can pave the way for the future if we can build on top of it.
In the military, the success of a mission relies on building a consensus.
People who know their strengths and weaknesses are strong.
It seems we chose the right partner to found the NJCO.
I'm honored.
Captain Miller,
four platoons of unmanned AMAIM reinforcements have arrived.
What about the right of command?
It's already been transferred to us, with the codes already entered.
Good. Allocate the platoons from team three to six.
If they're on the move, they'll leave tracks.
We can calculate their location based on their speed and direction.
Surround them. We're going to hunt them down.
What should we do with Captain Watt's troops?
He's just a reserve force. Ignore him for now.
He's making his move.
Eight platoons for a couple of escapees seems a bit of an overkill.
What do you think Captain Miller will do?
Well, if I were him, I'd flush the enemy out first.
Fire!
Th-They're firing at us!
It's just to intimidate us! Keep moving, they're not actually trying to hit us!
But things are slowly going to get worse...
That's tear gas! Be careful!
Okay!
Go left!
We've been led this way. Where's Gai?
I'm not getting any connection anymore...
We're in NAC territory. They know the area better than us.
Run!
Target acquired!
This was too easy, but it is our mission. Let's capture them.
Amou! Get down!
Are you all right?
Yes!
I'm sorry for the wait, Lieutenant Colonel.
You never fail me.
Using the advance team's relay, Gai's successfully reconnected with Amou.
However, they're now engaged with the North American military.
They won't last long. You need to get there now.
Roger that.
We'll provide data analysis and strategic plans to support Masaki and his team.
So will I. I may not be there, but I can help.
I can at least do that much.
Thanks.
This is frustrating, not being there with them.
You went into the battle by yourself last time.
Jogan still needs work. And besides, we're too far away.
Right now, we just have to wait.
What's the plan? You basically jumped into the enemy encirclement.
We'll break through from one point!
Captain Kumai and his backup team will arrive from the route we came from!
We need to join them!
That's our only way.
The enemy's firing! Your six o'clock, R23, L15!
Got it!
For such a small group, they're impressive.
However, the encirclement is nearly complete.
The enemy's advancing faster than expected!
They must've changed their leg settings.
Enemy approaching from R03!
From our back, too!
Also from the left flank and front!
Dammit, they've completely got us surrounded!
Looks like checkmate.
This is the perfect scene for a true hero to swoop in to the rescue!
How did it get up that high?!
Anti-AMAIM guided missiles, ready. All enemy units are within range!
Open the hatch!
Fire!
Missiles?! Intercept them!
The main wing is longer.
Is that a backup battery on its back, or...?
Multiple guided missiles, opening the hatch now!
Fire!
Its blade is sharp.
Equipment we've never seen before, and a different exterior...
It's gone through an upgrade.
This is a completely new naginata!
Amou, we sent you the map data! Mr. Kumai and his team are there!
We've brought Kenbu, too!
Got it!
But not my AMAIM?
You're the Federation of Great Eurasia's military representative for the NJCO!
Please behave accordingly!
I know, I was just saying.
Platoon three and four were taken down...!
With the original AMAIM joining the battle,
there's a hole in the encirclement.
What's your next move, Captain Miller?
Continue attacking!
Amou, Kenbu's in the vehicle behind us!
I'll also join the fight in an AMAIM!
Understood!
--Captain! --I know.
I'll advance our troops.
Backup troops from the south side... Be careful, my princess!
Yup!
Retreat the combat vehicle currently deployed!
Transport Lieutenant Colonel to safety is top priority!
Dahlia!
An ambush?!
First Lieutenant Lvov, get back!
Lieutenant Masaki?!
Losing a leg won't stop me!
Masaki, get out of there now!
Roger that, I'm on it--
What?
Masaki...
One enemy unit down.
The first pursuit group and the reinforcements
are continuing their attacks.
It's risky.
How do you mean?
Look. The vehicle with the fugitives is leaving the front lines.
They're changing tactics.
If he takes this change lightly...
Amou...
I know. I'm fine.
I know...!
My princess, can you continue?
Yes...
Yes, I can.
Shion, Amou, don't get too far ahead!
If we can push them back just a little, that's enough!
--Yes, sir! --Roger that!
The platoon on the left flank has been destroyed!
Captain Miller. I advise you to stop all combat and retreat.
We don't have enough forces to pursue them.
Additionally, original AMAIMs are highly experienced in fighting large numbers.
I've come to the same decision myself.
All units, fall back. Initiate plan B3!
Roger that.
I'm not picking up any enemy units. Looks like they've retreated.
You're safe now.
Mr. Masaki's KIA?!
There's no mistake...
Dammit!
I apologize.
To save my second-in-command, your comrade--
Nothing for you to be sorry for, Lieutenant Colonel.
We're always prepared to die.
And that's how wars go.
I'm sorry...
Kumai, how're Amou and Shion doing?
They're keeping it together, but they do seem a little despondent...
There may still be enemies around.
Tell them to stay alert and come home safely.
Understood.
I know this is war, but...
So you've failed.
I'm sorry, sir.
It's fine. What's important is that they reacted with hostile actions.
Now we have a valid excuse to invade the Hokuriku region.
Yes, we'll send an armada for our next mission.
You and your troops will also be deployed.
Now, I can take the completed Brady Phantom and fight to my heart's content.
We can finally go to New Japan.
Yeah.
Okay, Gashin, get in!
Amou...
How're Amou and the others holding up?
They're feeling down...
I don't blame them. It's even impacting me.
Even if war and death go hand in hand...
The North American military is making their move.
They're coming for us... I just know it!
We know what we have to do.

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E23 [00p].01.eng.English

What did you think, Second Lieutenant Louis?
Did the captain act suspiciously during the op?
No, not really...
He seemed to be a little more on the defensive, but...
Just don't get ahead of yourself too much.
Pike Davis' whereabouts are still unknown, as well.
You must be patient.
Yes, sir.
In the wake of Congressman Roy Walker's assassination attempt,
the NAC will be launching a large-scale attack on the Hokuriku region.
So far, so good for Deputy Commander Spears and Captain Watt, I suppose.
I shall be very busy.
Rats?
It seems I have a trespasser looking into my location.
We're glad you're safe, Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy.
You too, Amou.
Unfortunately, we cannot celebrate just yet...
Misuzu and Gashin have just arrived, as well.
Maki Misuzu and Tezuka Gashin, reporting for duty.
May I have a moment, Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy?
Of course.
You, too, Misuzu.
Yes, sir.
You two must be tired. Get some rest.
Yes, sir.
Hey, give me a hand.
No, not that one.
--Hey, thanks. --Be careful.
Everyone's carrying on like usual.
Of course, they are. We don't know when the North American military will attack.
I'm sure they're keeping their emotions bottled up...
Just like I am.
You know, back there, I couldn't cry.
Don't get me wrong. I was shocked, just like that time with you, Amou.
But there was a part of me that was calm.
My thoughts were running all over the place,
but it was like another part of me was watching
and thinking "I have to protect them. I have to defeat the enemies."
I pushed Mr. Masaki's death to the corner of my mind...
How could I?!
Shion...
Mr. Masaki would've kicked our butts if we lost it during battle.
He would've said, "Now's not the time! Fight back!"
We can grieve after the dust settles.
So you did the right thing.
With this incident, the NAC has an excuse to fight us now.
I have no doubt they'll launch a large-scale attack on us next time.
I agree.
We'll request reinforcements.
As much as I hate to play into the enemy's hands...
Yes...
They'll likely deploy a unit with Ghost installed,
as well as units with tactical AIs based off of Ghost.
AMAIM with Ghost will be a pain.
That AMAIM, huh?
You know it?
Yes... I've fought it before.
I've asked Misuzu to work on AI improvements to level the playing field.
I'll send you the combat data from my battle.
Thank you!
Of course. We're on the same team, fighting the same threat.
Thank you for coming all the way down here, Commander in Chief Freeman.
It wasn't that long of a flight.
Anyway, I reviewed the data of the AMAIM with Ghost you had installed.
Not bad.
The development of the new tactical AI is coming along as well.
I look forward to its completion.
Yes... You'll be seeing them soon.
Captain.
U-Um, we can do that...
No, I want to do it. Let me do it.
I understand. I'll leave you to it then.
Is that Masaki's belongings?
If it's all right, could you add this, too?
I heard it was his favorite...
Sweet olives...?
They're not in season... It must've been hard to find.
Pike Davis?
Wh-Who are you people?!
Hey, bring the cables over here!
Chief's got her hands full with AI development!
That means we have to step up and do a thorough job!
Right!
Don't worry! We'll ask Chief to check our work if we're unsure!
He just ruined the moment...
Hello, this is Maki.
I'm sorry to bother you, but do you have a moment?
You want ARES' help?
I was hoping they'd join us in the upcoming battle.
Where are they now?
Our contract expired a while ago, so I'm not sure...
What? Right now?
I'm sorry. There's somewhere I have to be.
Of course, I'll pay the fee for breaking the contract...
That's fine, but where are you going?
I need to set some things right.
I see. All right, then.
Would you be able to provide me with their contact info so I can contact them?
Yes, I'll send it to you via email later.
Thank you.
We're in position!
Roger that. Everyone, prepare for combat.
Locks deactivated. Are we sure he's in there?
We've checked all the cameras. He hasn't moved in the last six hours.
Move in!
Clear!
Clear!
It's so easy to control security camera feeds.
Surely you must know that?
Captain.
An explosion?
According to the Intelligence Agency, we don't know who owned that room.
The bomb type suggests the work of a professional.
What's he got himself into?
Where is he now?
Unknown. Since none of the bodies match his description,
we believe he escaped.
I'm with the Public Safety Department.
We're going after Brad Watt.
He's a cunning man.
We don't want to spook him, so you need to stop snooping around.
One wrong move, and we'll charge you as well.
You've been warned.
Have you heard that the Commander in Chief has arrived?
This is really happening.
We're going to be busy. Let's get ready.
I trust you've read through the files?
Primary witnesses to Congressman Roy Walker's sniper incident have escaped,
exchanging fire with our pursuit group.
These terrorists claiming to be New Japan
have occupied the Hokuriku region, gathering forces there.
We cannot allow this.
The Confederation has given us the green light.
We will launch a large-scale attack to liberate the Hokuriku region.
Here in Yokosuka harbor, a plethora of AMAIMs and combat vehicles are being sent
from the North Pacific North American military base to join this military operation.
The South Pacific and the Indian Ocean fleets
are also deploying their troops.
Commander in Chief Freeman is--
This is it.
So far, things are going as expected.
The second batch of troops from our surface fleet will be here in three hours.
Same goes for us.
Troops are in position near the northeastern border
to open a supply route.
We're quickly arranging the troops that have arrived.
We should be done by 1800.
I never imagined a day like this would come.
Me either.
We, the New Japan military--
That's what I'd like to call ourselves, if that's okay?
I have no objection.
No issues here.
We, the New Japan military, are just a ragtag team.
At least, that's how the North American military sees us.
Let's prove them wrong.
Are they still inside the simulation?
Just let them be.
They're risking their lives a lot more than we are.
Not bad.
Yeah, but I still want to improve a little more.
You gain experience by practicing more, thereby improving your accuracy.
In live combat, there'll always be uncertainties, but we've got you covered.
All the more reason for us to improve. Let's keep at it!
There's no guarantee our hard work will pay off,
but that's no excuse to not try.
Yup, you're right.
You know the saying, "do your best and leave the rest to fate."
That's it!
Hear me out.
We may not be able to control fate, but we can try improving our luck!
Ooh, sweet dumplings!
Octopus balls!
They all look so delicious!
Well, this got her spirit up.
Yeah.
Ohh.
So this is the torii gate. This is my first time getting to actually see one.
It smells like a shrine.
This is kind of comforting.
Yeah.
Hey, look, look! It's me!
Hmm... You don't really look like them.
Yes, I do! I look exactly like them!
I thought you were a racoon.
--Huh?! --What?!
Now, now...
Hey, my fortune is "great blessing."
That's great! Way to go, my princess!
I got "great blessing," too.
Things are looking good.
Mine is "small blessing." Not bad but not that good...
What are you talking about? It just means things are gonna look up!
How's it going, Charlie?
I've incorporated all the combat data.
It's going through it right now.
I've completely deleted all of Ghost's backup, as requested.
The only copy is installed on that unit.
Yes, thank you.
This is Brad.
This is Raymond. We have the dates for our next mission.
I see.
We have intel that the NAC is assembling troops at their base near Hokuriku.
By dawn tomorrow, they'll be ready to deploy.
Tomorrow, huh?
According to our PFP computer, Murakumo, our odds of winning are 45%.
It's far lower than expected, and we're at a disadvantage.
This is the trend over time.
Our odds of winning decreases as the time goes by.
They have slightly more resources than us,
but it isn't only because of a difference in numbers.
It also means their tactical AI units shouldn't be underestimated.
However, this is just a forecast.
That's right. It's up to us commanders to change that.
How's the tactical AI situation on our side looking?
Misuzu has completed the early version of it,
and has started the installation process.
She said she'll collect all data from past and present combat,
giving it another update.
Understood.
How does the saying go? "Different approach, excellent method,
the result crowns the work"?
I'm impressed, although the saying goes a little different.
Is that so? Well, no matter.
Tomorrow's going to be a long day.
We're finally doing this tomorrow.
Yup.
What do you wanna do after we beat the North American army and come back?
Huh? Hmm... I can't think of anything.
What about you, Gai?
First, I gotta have that drink with Alexei.
I'm an AI of my word!
I'll study up on MR technology.
I wanna travel, too! Travel all over Japan, no, the world!
We promised, remember?
Our great adventure.
Yup!
But, Gai, you can see the world digitally.
Oh, you just don't get it!
The point is that we go together!
Right. Then, where do you want to go to the most?
Let's see... First, the North Pole.
That's far.
It'll be a piece of cake! Just leave it to me!
Seriously?
Yeah!
This is the most recent tactical AI based off of Ghost.
These units are going to be completely different.
I'm being transferred? Now?
"As of today, you are being transferred to an independent force"?
Why? Now, of all times?
Brave and loyal soldiers of the North American military.
The time has come for a decisive battle.
We, the Confederation, have been fighting hard to protect the autonomy of Japan,
and we must protect it again from other nations and terrorists!
First of all, I'd like to extend my gratitude to everyone here today.
Because of you, we have gotten this close to realizing our vision of New Japan.
This battle marks our first obstacle in founding New Japan.
The NJCO's blatant lie of peace and their use of violence are,
without doubt, acts of aggression that disrupt world peace.
But we can... no, we're the only ones who can stop them.
Each one of you has the strength.
However, we're currently weak.
We must ask for your help.
Yesterday, we were pointing our guns at each other.
But today, we are one army.
We are comrades who have each other's backs.
In Japan, we call this "enishi," a destined encounter.
Become heroes. Prove to them that justice is on our side!
We're counting on you to give it your all!
Today, we stand here, side by side.
Who do you see next to you?
I hope for this friendship to last forever,
for the day when we can smile from the bottom of our hearts, together.
Godspeed.
It's finally starting...
Are you nervous, Amou?
Yeah, I am. My hands are shaking.
Don't worry, I'll do my best to support you!
Finally, our time has come, Ghost!
Let's show them what we can do on the battlefield!

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E24 [00p].01.eng.English

Alpha block, all units in position.
Beta block, all units in position.
We've received similar reports from the other squads.
We're ready for combat!
Commander...
Mm.
All Asian military troops are in position.
Same goes for the Oceanian military.
Eurasian military, in position.
We're ready.
Fire!
Open fire!
It's started.
Yeah...
Miller squad, advancing forward!
Louis squad, advancing forward!
The enemy's closing in...
Let's deal with the advance team first.
Light it up.
Those who manage to get past the newly-programmed Subbota troops
will be destroyed by me and my Rytsar Demon!
If now's not the time to gain fame, I don't know when is!
Wilson squad, advancing forward!
As is Byrne squad!
All squads, initiate deployment.
Group 1 is in enemy contact on the borderline.
They're engaging.
This is it.
A battle of this magnitude has been unheard of in recent years.
How will the tide of the battle turn?
What's this?!
Their movements are different from other Asian military units!
Hmm. Seems our units have learned each other's quirks.
It also has a variety of tactical patterns programmed,
making it possible to flexibly respond based on the situation in battle.
I expect nothing less from the brilliant woman who created the lion-dog AIs.
Of course, with our incomplete state, they have the advantage...
But it's up to the commanders to overturn that disadvantage!
Go, go! Offense is the best form of defense!
Eurasian attack team 1 has defeated the enemy units.
Oceanian advance teams 4 and 6 have broken through the enemy lines.
Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy is remarkable.
Our troops are also doing well, but...
Right...
Looking at the situation overall,
the front lines are slowly being pushed back.
But a small group is achieving astonishing results...
You mean Yatagarasu's three MAILeS units?
Right.
All units, advance forward! Push back the enemy lines!
How are the unmanned units, Kei?
They're good. They move exactly the way I tell them to.
Their mobility has improved as well.
I can't complain about their strength, either.
That's good...
Can't sleep?
No, I'm just thinking...
If we win tomorrow's battle,
we can get Japan back, even if it's just a part.
My dad's dream will come true.
I'd tell you not to put too much pressure on yourself, but that'd be impossible.
I understand.
We'll take your condition into account and provide support for you.
Thanks.
Enemy fire concentrating on your right, SW212!
Roger that. Let's provide backup.
That was perfect, my princess!
Thanks, but it's only possible because of you and these guys.
They are your loyal servants.
Servants...?
Enemy squads on our lower right rear, 37, 30!
Targets acquired on all units!
Okay!
Good job, Amou. We mostly wiped out the enemies around this area!
That movement...
Yeah, I figured it'd show up.
Alerts are going off in my systems!
There's no mistake. That unit has Ghost installed.
Gashin! Ghost is here!
It's where Amou is, my princess!
Got it!
During the mission, we'll each lead unmanned units
and fight at our designated location.
That's the most efficient way to fight a large-scale battle.
But that changes once Ghost shows up.
If we don't deal with it, it'll do major damage against us.
Thus, lowering our chances of winning.
So the three of us will engage Ghost together.
Udou, Hou, and the others have signed off on this plan.
Get to point 366, 384!
Got it!
We've seen your aerial maneuvers multiple times!
You're not getting past us to go help him!
I have no intentions of helping the captain,
but it's a soldier's duty to see the mission through...!
Kenbu is engaging in battle with an AMAIM with Ghost likely installed.
Tezuka squad and Shishibe squad are unable to provide backup.
Front lines are still being pushed back!
As expected, they brought Ghost in.
I need to stop it, no matter what...!
It seems we have all the players in place.
My efforts to get this stage ready are finally paying off.
A single missile will cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
Honestly... It's like a circus show put on by idiots.
Would you like to join me and watch?
Although, I don't remember inviting you, Mr. Dialo.
Such an outdated gun model...
Keep your guard up, Amou.
I know.
Why is it moving like that?! Is it an unmanned unit?!
Watch out!
Gai?!
Can you hear me, Shiiba Amou?
This voice...
Ghost managed to hack into our communication line...!
Our fight has just started.
Now, show me the time of my life.
The time of your life?!
Quit fooling around! I'm cutting the communication!
Wait!
Is this Captain Brad Watt piloting that unit?
That's right.
You obtained Ghost by teaming up with German?
That's right.
Did you also order the attack on TRYVECTA's backup facility?
So what if I did?
Amou! Your pulse and blood pressure are increasing!
Calm down!
I'm going to take you down.
You're going to pay for your sins!
Bring it on.
The enemy has an endless supply of reinforcements.
Don't rush and don't get caught off guard.
Yup, I'm good.
After all, I have a promise to keep.
I think you've already heard about it,
but there's likely going to be a battle tomorrow. I'll take part in it.
We're going to win this.
We'll get Japan back, and bring back Himeno ware.
Hello?
Grandpa?
Shion...
Yes.
Just... Just come back safely...
Okay...
I'm going to make it back and see Grandpa and everyone.
I want to live with them again.
Let's do this!
All shots hit their marks!
Release the empty missile containers!
On it!
--We did it! --In front of you!
We're not gonna fall for the same attack!
The enemy troops have entered the set location!
W27, ready to fire!
Roger that! Let's wipe them out with this!
Heavy armor units, advance forward!
Don't aim for the actual AMAIM,
but its surrounding and the slope under it!
Its equipment isn't designed for mobility at all.
If it loses its footing, we can neutralize it!
Get rid of the Gatling gun! We're going to fall all the way down!
Got it!
It's so powerful...
It turned off its limiters again...
Not according to the detection data.
Cutting off the limiters is a double-edged sword.
It gives you explosive power, but your energy depletes quicker.
It's not fit for a large-scale battle like this one!
Then, how?!
I think the pilot's set the safety mechanisms down to the bare minimum.
Things like shock absorber and counter cushion...
And he's re-allocating everything to computer resources and control output!
But that means the pilot inside will...!
He's either not afraid to die, or a maniac.
Either way, he won't make it through this unharmed!
Think they figured it out by now?
Delivering one attack drains me physically and mentally.
But I'm still going to ride this AMAIM.
I'm going to fight in this AMAIM!
I've been waiting for this moment!
Putting my life on the line!
Gai!
D-Don't worry...
Just a little power surge on the unit...
Gai, turn off the safety mechanism for the cockpit.
What?!
This is the only way!
Don't be stupid!
It's not even designed to be turned off! It can't be done!
But then what?!
I'm not gonna go through what I did at the Oki Islands!
At the time, I was willing to die with you.
But when I found out that you were alive...
...I was happy.
That's why...
That's why I'm going to protect you, no matter what!
Gai...
Jogan and Reiki are both unable to pull themselves away from the enemy squads!
Kenbu is still fighting Ghost, accumulating heavy damage!
Send in nearby troops as backup!
We can't! All squads are struggling to hold on as is!
I never thought things would get this hairy without the MAILeS.
Ms. Misuzu is doing her best to send out version updates, but...
Stand strong! This is a critical moment!
If they break through the front lines, there'll be no stopping them!
I'm not done, I can still fight--
The Agano River defense line has been breached.
Second Lieutenant Byrne, can you hear me?!
Yes, I can!
The unmanned units in my squad have all been destroyed!
Let's retreat! We'll join the rear echelon troops!
Copy that. Headed to the rendezvous point--
Second Lieutenant Byrne?!
Port defense units are wiped out!
The enemy has taken over the port!
We lost contact with Oceanian squad 4, 6, and the advance team!
Enemy forces have broken through the front line!
The North American military has cut off our Tohoku and Eurasia supply lines.
Those were two major supply lines...
This is bad. Supplies are still being transported by sea, but it won't be quick.
Kenbu's still fighting and taking on significantly more damage!
Amou, to your left!
Dammit!
A pilot is in there!
He's ignoring the damage to himself!
He's willing to pay the price to win the war.
We may have incurred more damage to our AMAIM,
but pilot-to-pilot, he's more exhausted than us!
Which means the situation itself is even!
Every move I make, I feel like my bones are screaming and I'm being gutted...
But I'm not done... Not yet!
For every hit I get in, he hits back two or three times!
That was close! I'm going again!
Go for it!
Huh?
Gai? Gai?!
Gai!
Gai, I'm where I am today thanks to you.
You were always by my side, and I'm grateful. You helped me so much.
So let's fight till the end, with just me, Kenbu, and you, Gai!

▶ [CR] AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline - S01E25 [00p].01.eng.English

I guess that's it for you.
Gashin!
My princess!
How disappointing.
Phew, just in the nick of time.
I'm glad we weren't too late.
Kei! Nayuta!
Gashin and Shion sent us.
"Go help those two out," they said.
Of course, we also have to support our partners,
so we can't give you our full attention,
but we can still allocate a lot of resources to this fight.
It'd be more than enough to back Gai up, who's completely exhausted.
I was just taking a nap!
Keep telling yourself that.
You can't be too tired if you can back talk.
Thanks.
Okay, let's work together to take him down!
Yeah!
The advance guards are defeated! They're breaking through!
We've deployed unmanned reinforcement units.
I'm transferring the command to you now.
Good timing, Dahlia.
This is exactly why you're my second-in-command.
Thank you.
Watch out for the left flank.
The enemy units should be making contact soon.
Nothing gets past him...
Deploy units to the left flank and engage!
I never thought assessing the situation would take me this long without Kei.
It proves just how dependent I was!
But we're all in the same boat, so no complaining!
All frontlines are still being pushed back.
Oceanian teams 5 and 8 have fallen back.
Asian defense team 2 is requesting support!
Our number of units deployed are down almost 15%.
You'll need to make a decision, with the worst-case scenario in mind.
Do we keep going, or...?
I've pushed out so many upgrades, but I still can't keep up with them.
Those Tactical AIs based off of Ghost...
They're constantly outperforming our calculations... How can we...?
Ghost?
They have the advantage in terms of speed and power!
The damage to the pilot is less than my own.
And for some reason, their reaction speed has increased!
Which means the conditions are the same!
That's what I'm talking about!
Northeast teams 4 and 7 have defeated the enemy troops.
Teams 16 through 18 have started advancing forward.
Brad Watt's unit is engaging the original hand-to-hand combat type AMAIM.
--Looking good. --Sir.
But your son, Captain Brad Watt, seems to be fooling around a little bit.
Why would he only take on the original AMAIM with such a high-performing unit?
Because it's the original AMAIM.
That unit is the only thing that can take it on.
Hence the unit development and AI research.
You have a point. I can't complain since you have the results to show for it.
It seems the next-gen unit development will go according to your proposal.
We've already started preparations.
It looks like Brad's having a tough time.
No matter. He seemed to be snooping around my business.
If this goes on, they'll likely take each other down.
If I can silence Brad while also defeating the original AMAIM,
the tide will turn towards us in a big way.
And even if we lose, he'll take the blame.
I have nothing to lose.
You're pretty persistent, aren't you?
Chasing me all the way here.
I made a promise to my team in front of their graves!
That I'll make sure you pay for your sins!
The foreign special forces unit is nothing more than a ragtag team, Captain Dialo.
If you, our lieutenant, didn't sell us out, they'd still be alive!
Not only did you sell intel to the enemy,
but you also stole our supplies and made a profit off of it!
That's how you got to where you are now!
Soldiers and mercenaries make money by putting their lives on the line.
That's why I exchanged their lives for money. What's so wrong with that?
I'll never forgive you...!
Then, let's cut the chitchat and get on with it.
German!
You're so easy to rile up...
That's what makes you easy to manipulate.
People like you deserve to be on the ground like this
and die pathetically.
Chief! Chief!
Hey, Chief! We got the combat data from recovered units and...
I'm such an idiot!
I was too focused on trying to solve the problem, but...
If they've based their AIs off of Ghost, we can follow suit!
Chief...
With a tactical AI based off of their program...
Please work!
The unmanned units' behavior has changed!
This is...
An I-LeS based tactical AI...
I was hoping to see that lion dog, but I suppose that's asking too much.
But the performance is excellent!
Let's go! It's our turn now!
Eurasia attack team 1 has defeated the enemy troops!
Friendly units are taking less hits!
Various areas are pushing back the frontlines!
What's going on?
It seems your friends are making a comeback.
Man, they really are stubborn. Is it worth all this trouble?
Of course it is!
Why is that?
So we can get Japan back!
Why else?!
Is this channel open?
A place where we can live safely as Japanese people without being afraid...
That's what we're fighting for!
That's just greed!
We all have it.
Some want money, some want happiness.
And this AMAIM is what I want!
There are those who seek power,
those who seek wealth...
But I seek violence!
Look around you!
The unmanned units are the stars of this show, mercilessly taking lives.
They feel no pain!
To protect our soldiers' lives, they shoot at the enemy from a safe distance.
It's an ugly world!
That's why I'm going to destroy it, using this AMAIM!
This war will put on a good show!
That's the reason why you took Ghost?! Attacked TRYVECTA?!
I'll be number one, and for that, I don't care if Japan, or the world collapses!
What in the world is he yapping about on-air?
I'd ask what your last words are, but my hearing's shot from just now.
Not that there's a need to hear it.
When we soldiers die, we just become body counts in war.
How could you say that...?
It's the same for the population, birth rates, and death rates!
They're just numbers!
The will of an individual doesn't matter!
You're wrong! I changed when I met Gai!
Amou...
We went to different places,
and met different people.
Warm people, kind people, each one of them living their lives.
I have comrades, I made friends, and it made me happy.
Amou...
I just want everyone to be happy!
Amou...
Isn't it the same for you guys?!
Gai was always by my side.
When I was happy...
...and when I was sad!
Gai was happy with me and suffered through the pain with me.
Gai comforted me so many times!
We aren't just numbers!
Gai was right there by my side!
But that's how the world is!
But then...
Then the AIs are more human than we are!
Stop this nonsense from airing, now!
I'm sorry to bother you, Deputy Commander Spears.
I'm with the Public Safety Department.
Energy levels are low, output's down by 35%, rerouting now.
The armor's reaching its limit, too! We can maybe take one more hit.
Let's do our special move, Gai!
We'll put everything we've got into this attack.
And it only accepts audio input.
Jeez, twist my arm, why don't you?
Let's do it, Amou!
Yeah!
Go!
Bardiche Breaker!
Looks like this is it.
Your technology is too far advanced, Ghost.
Your time ends here, with me.
I'm gonna take you down with me. I don't wanna hear you complain.
We did it... We did it, Gai!
Gai...?
Gai?!
This is a joke, right?
Gai...
No...
Gai...
Gai!
It's only been a week since the battle, and life is back to normal already.
That's just how things work. Look.
The NAC and NJCO have started their peace negotiations.
They still need to iron out the details, but...
After this ordeal, Commander in Chief Edgar Freeman has resigned.
With all that's happened, I don't think there was any other way.
Anyway, I'm surprised you accepted.
The supervisory position?
I thought you wanted to return to your home country.
I've grown attached to the NJCO.
Besides, this may come as a surprise, but I love Japanese saké and shochu.
Second Lieutenant...
So this was your driving motivation.
Deputy Commander Spears' breach of trust and misuse of military funds.
The "other arrested party" mentioned in this article is German, isn't it?
I only became aware of my father's wrongdoing some time ago.
I was torn about what to do...
But I couldn't let him get away with it, because we're family.
I started working with the Public Safety Department early on.
They gave me the intel about Congressman Roy Walker and Pike Davis.
That's why you threatened them.
I had a hunch there was going to be an assassination attempt
in order to force the congressmen into submission.
A sniper would take the shot, but it wouldn't be a kill-shot.
I used the war he wanted to start against him
to drive him into a corner.
He's bound to make a mistake during a large-scale mission like that.
I know I'm terrible... I could've stopped the whole thing.
The Deputy Commander had already completed his behind-the-scenes work.
You couldn't have stopped him alone.
Still, there were casualties.
That's why you wanted to die with Ghost?
Why did you take me off your team?
I wasn't sure what the charges would be,
and I didn't want to get you involved.
Ray and Charlie knew what they were getting themselves into.
Stop, you're gonna pop my stitches out.
I'm part of the team!
You should trust me a little more.
I'm sorry...
Engineer Ory explained that
you're alive because the ejection mechanism was triggered before the explosion.
Based on the combat data they managed to retrieve,
it looks like it was Ghost that activated it.
I see.
I'm glad you're alive.
Thank you, for not killing German.
Now we can get all our answers.
I don't think he's going to talk willfully.
There was this man...
His parents went to war zones.
They were good doctors that treated everyone,
regardless of their race or origin.
But one day, they were killed
by a soldier they had treated just a few days ago, for treating an enemy soldier.
Ever since then, he loathed soldiers and mercenaries,
for killing his parents.
Is that...?
What will you do now?
The NJCO has hired TRYVECTA as an AI development organization,
so I'm thinking about settling down here.
What about you, Mr. Dialo?
I'm going back to HQ. My field days are over.
All this action is bad for my back.
Oh, please!
Thank you.
Right back at you!
Is that for Gashin's father and Lieutenant Masaki?
Yes. I finally have good news for them.
Yeah...
We're counting on you. You're our new maintenance chief.
I won't let you down!
Besides, Ms. Misuzu is still with us as the maintenance manager!
Worst case, we can ask Ms. Misuzu to check our work!
Seriously?
I'm staying here.
Sure, we got Japan back, but only a part.
Not the entire country.
The Japanese government is still with the NAC.
We asked them to join us, but they won't give us a straight answer. Pathetic.
I'm going back to my hometown.
I'll stay on as a member of NJCO,
but I can't bring back Himeno ware soon enough.
I'll be with you wherever you go, my princess.
Thanks.
You're really going?
Yeah. I promised Gai that we'd travel together.
Misuzu said that the AI unit retrieved was damaged severely.
She was only able to recover the logic program.
It's installed in your phone.
She couldn't recover the memory data, so it's like a new born baby.
Don't worry, leave the unit repair to the professionals.
We'll help them, too!
I'm sorry that I--
Don't be sorry.
Ah, right. Thanks.
I'm going to start making new memories with Gai again.
Good morning, Amou.
G-Good morning.
Today's the day. You take care, now.
I will. Thank you.
I'll see you later.
Hey, good morning, Gai.
Ga... i?
Yup. That's your name.
I'm Shiiba Amou. Nice to meet you.
A... mo... u?
