I repeat:
I repeat:
Yesterday, a part of the mother ship suddenly collapsed.
Yesterday, a section of the mother ship suddenly and inexplicably collapsed.
The Governor’s press conference started just moments ago.
We go now to the governor's press conference on the matter.
Ah, first of all, on behalf of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government,
Unfortunately, many lives were lost yesterday.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to the many casualties caused by the partial collapse of the mother ship.
As governor of Tokyo, my thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims.
We don’t believe there will be any major collapses like this in the future,
Although another collapse of this magnitude is unlikely,
but there is the risk of smaller parts falling from the ship.
smaller parts of the ship may continue to fall.
If you need to go outside within the surrounding areas,
If you have to travel anywhere near the surrounding area,
please wear a helmet or other head protection.
please protect your head, ideally with a helmet.
In the meantime, the Ocean Completion Event will be held as scheduled.
Furthermore, while the grand opening of the Ocean Stadium will be held as scheduled,
Please only attend if you are able to ensure your own safety.
please understand that those attending are doing so at their own risk.
Not just small parts,
We're due for another huge collapse!
but a major collapse like the recent one is also possible!
You don't understand!
-Shouldn’t we evacuate the residents?!
We need to evacuate!
-At this stage, that’s unnecessary.
That won't be necessary.
There is an eighty percent chance that the entire mother ship will collapse.
They're saying there's an 80% chance of the whole mother ship falling out of the sky.
And that probability increases over time.
And the odds will only increase over time.
Are you sure about not evacuating the residents?
You're sure we don't need to evacuate the residents?
Mister Prime Minister. We no longer have any options.
Unfortunately, we're running out of options, sir.
Mister Prime Minister!
Sir!
Mr. Takarada of SES has been murdered!
Mr. Takarada of SES is dead!
Here’s footage from the security camera.
This is from the security cameras.
Two unidentified Americans snuck into SES and killed Takarada.
Two unidentified Americans infiltrated SES and assassinated Takarada.
After that, a man believed to be the leader of the invader hunter extremist group “YUF” killed both men
Shortly after, both men were dispatched
by a man who appears to be the leader of Youth United Front, an extremist group.
and abducted a public relations woman who was present.
He then abducted a PR rep who witnessed the whole thing.
The US have finally begun to take action.
The Americans have made their move.
I imagine they want to get the Plankton AI verification key at all costs.
They need the Plankton AI's authentication key, and they'll stop at nothing to get it.
That way, they’d be able to control not only Ocean, but the Fujins and Chokujins as well.
That's right. With it they'd control Ocean, the Fujins, and the Chokujins.
Who else knows about this verification key?
Who else knows about the authentication key?
Maybe the kidnapped SES public relations woman.
Is it possible that the kidnapped PR woman from SES knows something?
She was rumored to be Takarada’s mistress, after all.
Rumor has it that she was Takarada's mistress.
What is the YUF’s objective?
And what does Youth United Front want?
We don’t know yet.
We're working on that.
Please instruct the National Police Agency to make every effort to find the woman.
Please inform the National Police Agency that finding that woman is their top priority.
We’ll keep the news of Takarada’s death from the media for now.
We'll keep the news of Takarada's death from the media for now.
What about Ocean?
What about Ocean?
On the odd chance of something like this happening,
We have a backup venue.
we have changed the event venue.
We'll relocate the event to avoid further escalation.
We’ll also bump up Ocean’s takeoff schedule.
We'll also move up the launch schedule for Ocean.
It seems like something terrible’s happening in Tokyo,
Something really terrible happened back in Tokyo, huh?
but it hasn’t sunk in yet.
It doesn't feel real yet.
After all, university students have September off, too.
College students get September off anyways.
But it may be good to head back to Tokyo before restrictions start for real.
We should probably get back before they start putting travel restrictions in place.
Possibly due to the mother ship, there are also problems with the communications.
I wonder if it's the mother ship that's blocking communication.
Oh, hello? I finally got through.
Oh, hello? I finally got through!
I’ve been calling this whole time since I’ve been so worried.
I've been trying to call you this whole time! I was so worried!
It’s totally idiotic.
It's a real clown fiesta over here.
Not only helmets, but people are even buying up all the pots.
People are wearing pots on their heads.
You’re the most reliable one, so I’m counting on you.
Well, you're the only one I can count on, so keep everyone in line until I get back.
By the way, Oran hasn’t come out of her room at all.
Oran's been holed up in her room for hours.
I wonder if she’s not feeling well.
Is she feeling alright?
Oba’s not here, either.
And where's Oba?
Woah, that’s so perverted.
Well, I can think of one explanation...
Does that mean everyone’s gonna die?
Does that mean everyone's gonna die?
There may not be much point in talking hypothetically,
I don't see the value in discussing hypotheticals,
but if you hadn’t helped me,
but if you hadn't helped me,
I might’ve become disillusioned with humanity.
I might have become disillusioned with humanity.
We originally lived here,
My people lived on this planet long ago,
but we fled due to a deadly light shower.
but we fled because of a deadly light shower.
However, one day this planet will once again be suitable for us to return.
Eventually, this planet will recover, and we will make it our home once more.
Or so we predicted.
Or so we predict.
So you came to check and see if it is suitable.
So then you came back to see if that had happened yet?
I had been told that even at their most evolved state, creatures living here would be
The reports provided to me claimed that the current inhabitants of this planet
no more advanced than monkeys.
would be no more advanced than monkeys.
In other words, I guess I was deceived by my own country.
In short, I was deceived by my own people.
I sent in a false report to my country.
And in turn, I submitted a false report of my own:
This place is uninhabitable.
This place is uninhabitable.
Humans are violent and dangerous.
Humans are violent and dangerous.
But maybe in other parallel universes…
But perhaps, in a parallel world…
Listen. You there.
Hey, you up there!
Listen carefully to what I’m about to say.
Listen closely to what I am about to say.
Who are you talking to?
Who's he talking to?
Wait, don’t tell me there’s a ghost there.
A ghost? I sure hope not!
Maybe there’s “someone” watching this timeline for whatever reason.
There may be another presence here,
Even if it’s dangerous here,
an outside observer from a parallel world.
in another world, another timeline,
In another world or timeline,
our people back home may decide to take a chance and send us here,
the homeworld could opt to send us to this planet, despite its reported danger
to get rid of us and solve our overpopulation issues.
in an attempt to cull the population.
And not knowing anything,
Not knowing what awaits them,
our people will arrive aboard the mother ship in high spirits.
our people will board the ship with a smile.
However, that...
However...
We were abandoned under the pretext of an invasion
They sold us on the idea of a painless retaking of our ancestral lands,
that had no chance of succeeding.
but we never had a chance.
We will be forced to choose whether to fight the humans or to blend in.
They will be forced to choose between fighting the humans or living among them.
Either way, unless the maintenance program for the mother ship is updated,
In either case, the mother ship's maintenance program must be regularly executed.
in about four years, the reactor will collapse and explode.
Failure to do so would result in a catastrophic reactor explosion in four years,
That’ll be the beginning of the great tragedy.
and the curtain would rise on tragedy.
Where will they find someone brave enough to land the ship and bring it to an emergency stop?
Some brave individual would have to land the mother ship and force a shutdown.
To do that,
But in order to do that,
they must break into the control room and gain access to the system.
they'd have to break into the control room and somehow gain access to the system.
So I’m going to tell you,
So, I might relent
right now,
and choose this moment
the password I’d likely come up with in that world.
to share the password with you.
Yeah, I’m sure of it.
Are you ready?
“Friend.”
"Friend."
My favorite word.
My favorite word.
Well, hypothetically speaking, that is.
Of course, this is all just hypothetical.
Oh? What’s wrong, Miss Thick Eyebrows?
What's gotten into Bushy Brows?
Is she breaking down because the internet completely stopped?
She's freaking out 'cause the internet's dead.
What?
What?
All the way out here as well?
Damn! All the way out here, too?
Oh, Oba.
Hey, Oba.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Well,
I’ve gotta go now.
it's time to go.
Branch Chief, is it all right to do this?
Is this okay? You're the head of the branch.
Sure it’s all right.
Yeah, it's fine.
The SHIP Surume University Branch is being disbanded today anyway.
Not like this branch'll exist tomorrow anyway.
Huh?
It won't?
We were notified from Headquarters.
Yep, we got word from HQ.
I don’t know why, but it seems that all student branches are being disbanded as of today.
They're dissolving every student branch for some reason.
There are strange rumors flying around as well, like the chance of the mother ship exploding.
Word on the street is that the mother ship's gonna explode or something.
I’m thinking of leaving Tokyo for the time being.
So I'm getting out of Tokyo.
Come to think of it, Prime Minister Ogino’s press conference is about to start.
Ogino's press conference is supposed to start any minute.
It’ll likely be the same old press conference without content to give the impression that they’re taking measures.
He's probably just gonna spin the same old bullshit.
You’re planning to take advantage of this chaos
How convenient.
to dump me and run, after sleeping with me.
Now that we've slept together, you can cast me aside and blame it on all this chaos.
Hm?
What?
Did you say something?
You say something?
Well, there have been some rumors over the internet, saying that the mother ship will explode,
Yes, there are rumors circulating online that the mother ship is going to explode,
but experts have confirmed that these rumors are nothing but completely unfounded lies.
but our experts have repeatedly confirmed that those rumors are completely unsubstantiated.
We are currently investigating the cause behind the abnormalities in the communication network.
We are working as fast as possible to restore our communication network.
Fortunately, television signals are working normally,
Fortunately, TV broadcasts are unaffected.
so I ask that you pay close attention to the announcements made by our government…
So please continue tuning in to these updates.
This is crazy.
This is crazy.
It isn’t right.
It's not right.
Please carefully check our government announcements
Tune in to these updates, but take them with a grain of salt.
and understand that not everything we say may necessarily be true.
They won't necessarily be true.
Stop the camera.
Stop rolling.
Mister Prime Minister. That’s not what the script says.
Sir, you're going off script.
It’s my job, so I’ve lied many times before,
I wouldn't be where I am today without telling a couple lies, but this is too far.
but this lie will cause many people to die.
A lot of people are going to die.
I take full responsibility for what I just said.
I take full responsibility for what I said.
We’re broadcasting this press conference on a three-minute delay.
This broadcast is on a three-minute delay.
Part way through, we’ll be switching to the backup computer graphics footage of you.
We prepared some deepfaked footage of you earlier. We'll just splice that in.
Computer graphics?
What?
But then what’s the purpose of my existence?
Why do you even need me, then?
Frankly you’re in your position because of your popularity among internet users,
You're in your position because of your popularity.
due to your resemblance to Isobeyan.
People online think you look like Isobeyan.
We’ve never expected anything in terms of your ability or will,
We never expected anything from you, really.
and you taking responsibility has little value.
Your response is admirable, but ultimately meaningless.
As of this moment, I, Eichiro Kagari, am in charge of the Cabinet.
As of this moment, I—Special Advisor to The Prime Minister, Eichiro Kagari—run the cabinet.
Mister Prime Minister, please understand.
I hope you can understand, sir.
Boarding for Ocean will begin in one hour.
Ocean will begin boarding in one hour.
We’ll come to pick you up as soon as we’re ready, so please wait at your residence.
Please wait at your residence and we will send a car to retrieve you once everything is in order.
Director,
Director!
according to the official announcement,
They changed the venue.
the venue has suddenly been changed to the secondary gymnasium.
They said it's at some gym nearby in an official announcement.
I saw many expensive-looking cars parked.
I saw a lot of expensive cars parked over there.
I wonder if some special guest is coming.
Looks like those bastards got a fancy guest list.
Where’s Futaba?
Where's Futaba?
Oh, ah, I haven’t been able to reach her.
Oh, well... We can't reach her.
I see.
That's too bad.
Then once this is over, we’ll need to purge her.
I suppose we'll have to get rid of her once this is over.
Good afternoon, everyone!
Hey, everybody!
I’m Myon-Myon,
Just for today, I'm your adorable apple princess emcee,
and I’ll be your host today!
Myon-Myon!
First of all, I’d like to ask the development project manager of “Fujin” to say a few words.
Let's kick this off with a few words from the visionary behind the Fujin project!
Please!
Here he is!
Takarada...
Takarada...
This is your divine punishment.
Feel their pain.
Who’s he?!
Who the hell is that?!
Well, Mr. Takarada, who was scheduled to be on stage today, is not feeling well.
So... unfortunately, Mr. Takarada isn't feeling well today.
Therefore I, Kametaro Debajima,
But, as Fujin's CMO, I'm filling in!
General Manager of the Development and Public Relations Department at SES, will speak on his behalf.
My name's Kametaro Debajima and I've got one heck of a presentation in store for you!
Director, what should we do?
What're we supposed to do?
If our objective is to create a stir, it doesn’t hafta be Takarada, does it?
Is this little nerd a viable target?
No it has to be Takarada.
No! We can't change the target!
Because I’ve...
It would be meaningless.
fallen…
It has to be Takarada,
in love with Takarada.
because I loved that man.
With the “Fujin” series that we developed,
Thanks to our brilliant Fujin series,
Japan’s future is bright!
Japan's future couldn't be brighter!
Everybody, please raise your hands and say, “Hurray for Japan”
Now, raise those hands and say it with me: "Let's go Japan!"
Huh? Wait, what?!
Huh? Wh-What's happening?
Um… you’re Prime Minister Ogino, right?
Hey... isn't that the prime minister?
What in the world is that?
So, uh, what is that thing?
Well,
That's an ark.
that’s an ark with bunch of “important” people aboard.
It's full of important people.
Correction.
Scratch that.
There are no important people in this world.
No such thing as an important person.
There are only normal people and arrogant bastards.
Just ordinary folks and jackasses who act important.
I quit being involved in such things.
I'm done with all that.
We’re broadcasting live!
We're reporting live at the scene!
We are near Jingu Gaien, where the New Japan National Stadium Ocean used to be.
Behind me, you can see where the new National Stadium used to be just moments ago.
In the adjacent secondary gymnasium,
The ceremony was being held nearby
an event was being held to celebrate the completion of Ocean.
when the Ocean Stadium suddenly rose into the air!
According to participants,
According to our sources,
the building rose after a loud roar about thirty minutes ago,
the building rose into the sky with a deafening roar about 30 minutes ago
and then headed south.
before starting to head south.
There is conflicting information about where Ocean is presently…
It's current location remains unclear!
Hello.
Hello?
Miura?
Miura?
I’m glad you answered. This is Hikari Sumaru.
Hey, it's Sumaru. I'm glad you answered.
Hi. So I see the ark has started moving.
I don't know if you noticed this, but your ark is on the news.
I had no idea it would fly right now.
I had no idea it was operational already.
We only developed it.
We developed the technology,
It’s the government who is in charge of operating it.
but the government runs it.
So then, what could you possibly want from me, someone you’d been totally annoyed with?
Right. And why did you call me?
Right now, I’ve been kidnapped by Kenichi Kohiruimaki,
I've been kidnapped by Kenichi Kohiruimaki,
leader of YUF.
leader of Youth United Front.
Why you?
Why you?
The SES Plankton AI’s suspension authority
He says the only way to disable Plankton AI
is set up to require my biometric verification.
is with an authentication key that's tied to my biometrics.
He knows all kinds of other things as well.
Kohiruimaki knows a surprising amount of classified information,
Including the government’s internal affairs.
including the government's internal affairs.
Wow.
No kidding.
He’s looking for a spokesman to inform the public about that.
He needs a mouthpiece that the public will trust.
You said you want to know the truth, right?
You said you wanted the truth, didn't you?
Then join us.
Then come join us.
People should arrive there soon to pick you up.
He already sent someone for you.
Yeah,
Yeah.
they’re here.
He's here.
Hey guys,
I’m thinking we should return to Tokyo tomorrow after all.
I think we should go back to Tokyo tomorrow.
There are rumors that Tokyo might be locked down in case of an unforeseen incident.
I've been hearing rumors about Tokyo going into lockdown soon.
Though I don’t have details since the internet connection is down.
But with the internet out, it's hard to verify anything.
Here, Mr. Goro!
Aye-aye, captain!
I’m not Goro…
Not a captain.
Summer is coming to an end.
Man, summer's almost over!
I would’ve liked to relax here longer.
I could totally go for another month of relaxing out here.
Well, then, let’s enjoy summer to the fullest on this final day.
Then let's make our last day of summer really count!
Do you all want ice cream?
I'm going to the store.
I was thinking of getting some at the convenience store.
Anyone want ice cream?
Seriously, Oba? That would be great!
For real?! That's so nice!
Oba. I want the “Choco Monaka Giga Jumbo.”
Get me a Super Chocolate Chunk Supreme!
Oba.
Oba.
You plan to leave and not return, right?
You're not coming back, are you?
Where do you plan to go?
Where are you going?
How could you tell?
How'd you know?
Because I love you.
'Cause I like you.
But knowing you, you’ll probably go anyway even if I stopped you.
But knowing you, you'll probably go anyway even if I try to stop you.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Oba.
Oba.
Don’t go anywhere.
Don't go.
Don't leave.
If I let you go now,
If I let you go,
I feel like I’ll never see you again.
I may never see you again.
Oran, you shouldn’t.
C'mon, Oran.
Even if it’s a toy,
I know that's a toy,
you shouldn’t point that at others.
but you shouldn't point it at people.
This isn’t a game.
This isn't a game.
It’s not a toy.
And this isn't a toy.
And from this distance, I probably won’t miss.
I can't miss at this range, either.
I know you, Oran.
I know you, Oran.
That you’re someone who will not harm others.
You'd never hurt another living being.
Oba!
Oba!
Oran. I’m sorry.
I'm sorry, Oran.
The Defense Agency is unable to contact Minister Kaminari at all,
We can't reach Defense Minister Kaminari.
and things are getting chaotic.
This is getting out of control.
Does this mean the Minister is also aboard Ocean?
Does this mean Kaminari is aboard Ocean too?
Perhaps influenced by the F element fuel,
Ocean's high concentrations of F-element
the radar doesn’t react one bit.
are messing with our radars.
What do they mean evacuate everyone?
Evacuate everyone? Are you serious?
Are we abandoning the Shibuya camp?
We're abandoning the base?
That thing is really trouble, isn’t it?
This must be some serious shit.
More than half a day has passed since Ocean flew away,
Over 12 hours have passed since Ocean disappeared on us
but there is still no official statement from either the government or SES, right?
and neither the government nor SES has made a statement.
Sure, there are the communications infrastructure problems,
Sure, the communications grid is malfunctioning,
but still. Mr. Miura, what are your thoughts about this?
but I still think its irresponsible. Mr. Miura, what's your take?
In any case, you need to leave Tokyo asap.
My take? Get out of Tokyo. Now.
Everyone’s gonna die.
Everyone is going to die.
In a few hours, the mother ship will collapse,
In a few hours, the mother ship's going down.
and Tokyo will be destroyed.
And it's taking Tokyo with it.
Evacuate immediately.
You'd better get moving.
Wait! You mentioned nothing about that during our meeting!
Hey, wait! You didn't mention any of this in our briefing.
How will you take responsibility if viewers start panicking?!
You realize you could be inciting mass panic?
Mr. Miura, what is the basis for that statement?
Where's the proof for this wild claim?
Last night…
Last night…
I met with YUF’s leader,
I met with the Youth United Front leader,
Mr. Kenichi Kohiruimaki.
Kenichi Kohiruimaki.
I realized after analyzing the information he had collected.
Let's just say he's collected a lot of evidence.
The Japanese Government has abandoned Tokyo.
Our government has abandoned us.
Hey! Switch to something else!
Hey! Cut to something else!
Don’t do it.
No.
Continue this broadcast.
Keep rolling.
The following is Mr. Kohiruimaki’s message.
He requested that I share this message with you all.
Greetings, “Foolish Citizens.”
"Greetings, fools."
I regret to inform you, humanity will come to an end today.
Unfortunately, this is humanity's last day in the sun.
Japan has recovered from that terrible 8/31 tragedy,
Japan has recovered from the terrible 8/31 tragedy,
but some have stopped thinking and others have become conspiracy theorists.
but in its wake, the masses started spinning conspiracy theories, or stopped thinking altogether.
We have regained the wonderfully sickening peaceful daily life.
You've all reclaimed your disgustingly mundane lives,
But I know everything.
but I know the truth.
Starting today,
From this day forward,
we “YUF” will change our name to “New Japan Harmony”
YUF will be known as New Japan Harmony.
and begin activities to build a new, anarchic society.
We'll build a new society, free of government tyranny.
Shortly, a great light will appear in the skies around the world,
At noon JST, a great light will fill skies all around the world,
and the world will come to an end.
and life as we know it will come to an abrupt end.
But we will create a new era. Survivors…
And to those of you strong enough to survive in this new world,
“Gather before me.”
"gather around me."
Mommy!
Mom!
The TV stopped!
The TV stopped!
Mr. Miura,
Mr. Miura,
if that was simply delusional utterance,
if even a single word of that outburst was untrue,
you will be held responsible for your words.
you're going to be severely punished.
In the end…
In the end…
I’m no more than someone’s servant.
I was nothing but a pawn.
Please do not push!
Wait your turn, please!
