01x12 - Breaking Dawn

[bunniefuu]

BRITANNIA REPUBLIC

[people screaming]

[both grunt, gasp]

[radar soldier] Loki transport vessel
in sight.

[captain] Prepare torpedoes.

[radar soldier] Fifty Loki approaching.

[captain] Launch torpedoes!

[soldier 1] Launching torpedoes!

[radar soldier] Detonation confirmed.

Countless Loki remaining.

[captain] They're preventing us
from taking out the transport vessel...

TOKYO

I won't stand by
and let some machines k*ll humans!

LONDON

[operator] Worldwide, the Loki invasion
is spreading

from coastal areas to inland regions.

[Gino] This is bad.

Reassess our defense line.

[Cornelia] How long can we hold out
with our current forces?

[operator] It varies by region,
but according to our estimates,

all our Knightmare Frames
will be wiped out in three days.

[Cornelia] So, we have
no chance of winning.

[Gino] Wait.

I cannot accept that the world
could be destroyed

due to one man's scheming.

WAIKIKI

[Cornelia] I completely agree.

But there's no end to them.

[Gino] Damn Loki... They just keep coming.

The way it's looking,

we'll need to defeat Norland
and stop these things quickly,

or humanity will be wiped off
the face of the earth.

[Norland] The earth is being purified.

How satisfying.

I will savor

this moment of bliss...

[♪ opening theme song playing]

[meows]

[Gino] All right.

Start in 30 minutes.

UNITED FEDERATION OF NATIONS HQ

Chairwoman Kaguya, your statement will be
delivered in the main conference room.

Very well.

[wind whistling]

[alarms blaring]

[Ash] Nothing's changed.

I'm still...

in the palm of his hand...

[gasps]

Ash!

Are you okay?!

Hey!

[Rozé] Ash, can you hear me?!

Ash!

[alarm trills]

[Norland chuckles]

[Norland] It's too late
to change anything now.

-[button beeps]
-[mechanical whir]

[Rozé] Ash, are you okay?

Yeah...

[Ash] I'm fine.

[Rozé] If the Apollo isn't working,

-I'll fight him with the Artemis...
-No.

I can't let you go.

Because of your promise to my father?

[♪ melancholic music playing]

You've protected me enough.

Now I want to protect you...

Not just you. I want to protect everyone.

All this time,
I've been fighting to save Sakura.

[Rozé] I thought I possessed
the power and resolve to do it.

But I misjudged how to use this power.

And my arrogance resulted
in the loss of many lives.

I didn't realize

that I was being protected all along.

So this time, I'll take responsibility
for the fight I started

and protect everyone.

[Rozé] Starting with you, Ash.

Let me protect you.

[Ash] I see...

All this time, I...

I have a request.

Use your Geass on me again.

What're you talking abo...

Arnold removed the Geass you put on me.

Can you use it on me again?

Well...

Maybe, but...

I never want to use my Geass on you again.

[Rozé] I don't want to control you
with this power...

Right now, it's necessary.

You can't defeat Norland.

[Ash] And... I couldn't defeat him
on my own either.

Nichol... Mr. Jugo...

I couldn't protect them back then.

I feel the same as you.

I want to become someone
who can protect others.

I'm prepared to sacrifice myself for that.

If you're prepared to end this battle,
then bear the full weight of that resolve.

[Rozé] And that means
using my Geass on you?

Yes.

[Rozé] The power of my Geass

can rewrite your will, your beliefs,
even your memories.

-Are you really...
-I don't care.

[Rozé] If I use my Geass on you, you may
never be the same Ash Phoenix again...

[Ash] So be it.

You would bear the curse
of my Geass for life...

[Ash] No.

It's not a curse.

It's a vow!

I will shoulder your responsibility.

So in return,
I ask you to shoulder my resolve.

Sakuya Sumeragi, fight with me to the end!

I, Sakuya Sumeragi, command you.

Ash Phoenix.

You will fight alongside me
as my knight against Norland.

And you will win at all costs
to protect the world!

Yes, Your Majesty.

[Kaguya] We are currently facing
an unprecedented threat.

UNITED FEDERATION OF NATIONS HQ

Already, tens of thousands, if not
hundreds of thousands, have fallen victim.

It goes without saying that we,
as the United Federation of Nations,

cannot allow this to continue.

[Kaguya] The weapons attacking people
across the world are called Loki.

COLOGNE

The mastermind behind their production,
and the sole individual controlling them,

is Norland von Lunebelg.

There is only one way to stop the Loki.

We must defeat Norland's
Knightmare Frame, the Foulbout,

to which they are linked and synchronized.

Preparations to counter Norland
are underway.

Everyone, please do your utmost to survive

until we see this battle
through to the end.

[Sakuya] Energy sharing
with the Artemis complete.

[Ash] Roger that. Initiating reboot.

[Knightmare powering up]

[Ash] Reboot successful.

[Sakuya] Docking now.

[Ash] Roger that.

Engage.

[alarms trilling]

[Norland scoffs]

[Norland] You just
keep coming back for more.

[Sakuya] Ash, switch comms to secret mode.

-[Ash] Roger that.
-[comms trill]

Mode change complete.

[Sakuya] So, the Foulbout is equipped with
the same system as the Situmpe Barrier?

[Ash] Yes, and it's equipped with
at least ten cannons.

[Sakuya] Ten...

First, we'll need to confirm
their locations.

[Ash] I have a certain pattern
to my movements

which Norland can read.

[Sakuya] I'll send you
a separate movement pattern,

so just trace those movements.

[Ash] Roger that.

I'm entrusting you
with piloting the Ortygia.

Received.

I'll need your help navigating
until we have enough data.

[Sakuya] Roger that.

[Ash] Next.

[Sakuya] Understood.

[Norland] Has the pilot changed?

No, Ash's movement patterns remain.

Then is someone navigating him?

[Sakuya] Ash.

I've gathered enough data.
Fall back for now.

[Ash] Roger that.

[Sakuya] It has 14 cannons in total,
with almost no blind spots.

It seems only two cannons
can be fired simultaneously.

Then we can dodge them from any position.

[Sakuya] The problem is that our weapons
can't deal damage without getting close.

[Ash] Should we test how close we can get?

[Sakuya] Good idea.

[Ash] Navigate for me again.

[Sakuya] Roger that.

[Ash] Are you all right, Princess Sakuya?

-[alarm blaring]
-Princess Sakuya...?

[Ash] Sakuya, are you okay?!

[groans weakly]

[Sakuya] I'm sorry!
I lost consciousness...

-[panting heavily]
-[alarms blaring]

[Sakuya] I'm scared...

I don't think we can beat him...

[Ash] Don't give in to fear!

We will not lose!

[♪ upbeat rock music playing]

[Ash] What did we learn just now?

[Sakuya] That the Foulbout responds
incredibly fast to our movements.

Either its performance is off the charts,

or he's controlling the Knightmare Frame
by thought alone, without manual input.

If that's the case,
we can increase our response speed.

[Sakuya] Hey, what if we can cut off
the Foulbout's information input?

Wouldn't that create
an opening for our attacks?

[Ash] It's possible.

Calculating based on Sakuradite standards,

if we can get the Foulbout
to fire continuously for 60 seconds,

it won't be able to keep firing.

[Ash] Allowing us to engage
in close combat.

Switching the Ortygia to Megistus Z Mode.

[Sakuya] Roger!

[Norland] Oh?

Looks like they're up to something.

[Ash] What about night vision?

[Sakuya] Not needed.

[Ash] Roger that.

Requesting navigation
and a countdown every 10 seconds.

[Sakuya] Roger that.

[Ash] This time...

[Sakuya] Countdown in three.

Two. One. Start.

[Ash] Next.

Fifty seconds left!

[Ash] Next.

[Sakuya] Forty seconds left!

[Ash] Next.

[Sakuya] Thirty seconds left!

[Ash] Next.

Twenty seconds left!

[Ash] Next.

[Sakuya] Ten seconds left!

Nine. Eight. Seven.

Six. Five. Four.

Three. Two. One.

[Ash] What's its firing rate?

Down 47%!

[Ash] Nearly there.

Firing rate down 50%!

Now.

[Ash] Checkmate!

[Norland] A suicide attack?

How foolish...

A fake out!

-[Norland grunts]
-[electricity crackling]

[metal grinding]

[grunts]

[rain pattering]

[inaudible]

-[clangs]
-[grunts]

-[electricity crackling]
-[alarm blaring]

-[Knightmare powers down]
-[ticking]

[Ash] It's over.

Did we really... defeat Norland?

We did.

[beeping]

Huh? Ash?

[Ash] If we continue sharing energy,

neither of us
will make it back to the surface.

You still have work to do.

-[Sakuya] But...
-[Ash] Norland is a proud man.

He will erase all trace
of himself and his failure.

I can't bear to see you
being dragged into that.

-[Sakuya] But then you'll...
-[Ash] It's okay.

It's for the best.

[Ash's breath trembles]

I get it now...

I understand how Mr. Jugo felt.

I'm not afraid to die...

but it hurts to think
I'll never see you again.

[Ash] It hurts... so much...

[inaudible]

[wails]

[boy 1] Come on! Another adventure awaits!

-[boy 2] I wanna be the hero today!
-[Narah] Hey.

-Don't go too far.
-[boy 1] No, I'm the hero!

-[boy 2] You were the hero yesterday!
-[Catherine] Excuse me...

[girl] Hey, wait up!

Think you might have a job for me here?

Let's talk.

Yay!

[birds chirping]

Several months have passed since that day
when so many lives were lost.

Efforts to recover from the devastation
inflicted by the Loki continue worldwide.

[Kaguya] We must never forget
this tragedy,

nor the two Nameless Mercenaries
who protected our future,

and we must cherish
the peace they secured.

Today, as a symbol of that peace,

the Hokkaido Block will be designated
a Special Autonomous Region

under the jurisdiction
of the United Federation of Nations.

Working hand-in-hand
with Sakuya Sumeragi...

This tentatively wraps up
the post-w*r settlement.

Politically, at least...

[sighs]

And now, we're left to continue
carrying out the global cleanup.

As Black Knights, that's part of our role.

[Gino] Indeed.

Second-Lieutenant Sakai, reporting.

As of today, I have been reassigned
to my original unit.

Thank you for your service.

Good to have you back.

And you are?

Former maintenance officer
of the Seven Shining Stars, Yuri Sano.

I wish to join the Black Knights!

[all] Cheers!

I'm glad Sano
was able to transfer to the Black Knights.

No need for a resistance army
in a peaceful world like this.

What do we even do now?

Anything we want, I guess.

Right! Well, let's kick things off
by getting sloshed today!

I don't want to babysit you, so I'll pass.

I'm underage, so I'll pass.

Seriously?!

[Kuroto] Shall we go?

[Haruka] Yeah.

What did you talk to your mother about?

[Haruka] Hm? [chuckles]

It's a secret, Dad.

[Kuroto] What is it?
Found yourself a beau?

[Haruka] Seriously... A beau?
No one talks like that anymore, Dad!

[Kuroto] They don't?

[female reporter] Today, the first empress
of the new Special Autonomous Region,

Sakuya Sumeragi me Britannia...

[male reporter] Empress
Sakuya Sumeragi me Britannia's address

will take place tonight at 7 p.m.

Sakuya Sumeragi, I command you.

To seal the power of your Geass,

you will never be able to speak again.

[Sakuya] This is my resolve.

Empress Sakuya, it's time.

Understood.

[crowd exclaim, cheer]

[♪ closing theme song playing]

[♪ closing theme song ends]

Would you like some coffee?

They're inseparable from you, aren't they?

You're like one big happy family.

We are.

[Sakuya] An irreplaceable family

that he left behind for me...

We're all doing well,

Ash.
