Everything was in vain. Everything.
(OFF) Trying to live, all the fighting…
(OFF) …it's all just worthless.
We promised to protect the human race.
(OFF) This is what happened as a result.
Do you have anything to say to them?
(OFF) I don't. (ON) I just want (OFF) to kill you.
[laughs]
I… I won't give up.
(OFF) Huh!
Ugh!
[giggles]
(OFF) [humming]
[humming]
(OFF) [humming]
Uh…
(OFF) [humming]
Here we are.
Huh?
[whimpers] I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!
I will destroy everything and… and self-destruct. [giggles]
They both endured torture well, but broke down at their limits.
Too bad you didn't arrive in time, Empress.
Uh…
BLACK ROCK SHOOTER DAWN FALL
That takes care of it.
We need to go back right away.
I heard some of the enemies intruded into the Light House.
Heat source detected 10,000 meters above.
(OFF) Ka-boom!
(OFF) What the hell was that? It blew a mountain to bits!
Similar to a satellite weapon.
The only one in the machine army who could use that--
(OFF) Is, of course, me.
It couldn't be anyone but Lunatic.
(OFF) Come down here, so I can crush that phallic symbol you're so proud of.
Wow, so enthusiastic.
But you know, (OFF) it looks like you took quite a lot of damage.
Tsk.
Just as I always thought, Hemiteos Units are no big deal.
There are no data to get from you anyway, so I'm bored with you girls.
What?
Hey, you can't run away.
Run away? I never thought I was fighting with you in the first place.
Smiley, get them.
Roger.

ep10 Titanomachia
Uh… [gasps]
Stop. Don't move anymore.
Don't get in the way. I'm gonna become a perfect Hemiteos Unit.
(OFF) You shouldn't fight anymore. Your body can't take it.
Huh? Shut up!
What's the difference between you and me?
There are lots of differences.
(OFF) You have a family waiting for you at home.
(OFF) I don't have that. It's something very dear to you.
No, my dad and mom are both dead.
The only one protecting me is…
You should get some sleep now.
I promise. We will protect you.
Creating Pseudo Hemiteos Units failed, but has led me to the real thing.
You must hear it too, the whisper of my genes telling me to reproduce.
Oh jeez, he wants to have sex with us, that macho pervert.
Gross. Totally gross.
Never. I'd kill myself by biting my tongue or blowing up.
You should be happy. Every maiden I went to bed with
(OFF) ascended to heaven in the greatest (ON) ecstasy of their lives.
More like they suddenly dropped dead!
Departure in the face of the enemy.
I pity those soldiers with no education and no courage.
[grunts]
Ha!
Huh.
Why is he so freaking flexible?
He's undergone modification. Our weapons are useless now.
Strength! Up ahead!
[grunts]
(OFF) I guess we're cornered.
(OFF) Well, at least we bought some time.
Mm… Ugh…
Ugh…
Where's Charlotte?
(OFF) She's okay. She's already in the Recalibration Pod.
[groans]
Is it functional? The pod.
Yes, the issue with the battery has been resolved.
(OFF) Empress' internal power generation greatly improved as she grew.
We channeled the power for my Coilgun into the Recalibration Pod.
Is it capable of restoring her?
(OFF) It will disarm her, but it's not clear if it can deprogram her brain.
That doesn't matter. Do it.
I'll take care of the rest.
All right. Monica?
(OFF) Aye aye, sir!
So, is what you are now what we have been searching for all along?
Humankind's secret weapon,
Black Rock Shooter Empress?
I don't know if I'm the secret weapon.
All I know is what I should do now. Protect all of you here.
Hmm.
You never learn, do you?
[sobs] No more violence…
This same thing happened before, although you probably don't remember.
(OFF) I'm the one who wrecked your memories.
Eek!
So you don't remember exactly what was done to you.
How ironic. All Empress did was for nothing.
What do you mean?
Uh.
Well, Lunatic is too important for you. I'm leaving now. Bye!
(OFF) Two Hemiteos Units.
(OFF) I shall (ON) give your lives to the Moon Goddess.
PARADISE LOST
My dear Maker,
I am the strongest being on the planet, but I am alone.
In Paradise Lost, Adam has a partner. (OFF) Even Satan has his fellow devils.
But I don't have anybody.
Why don't you try screwing every girl on Earth until one of them conceives?
Oh…
(OFF) If that doesn't work, just make a bride on your own.
Oh…
I see.
Understood.
Hey, hey, hey! F*** you!
Thanks. You saved me.
Don't mention it. You've grown since the last time I saw you.
I'm having a growth spurt.
I'm sorry to bring you bad news when you've just finished a battle.
(OFF) Dead Master and Strength have been captured by Smiley.
Oh, no… Where?
(OFF) They're being held at the territory of the Educational Institution, which they have built at the foot of the mountains a kilometer from here.
(OFF) That's pretty far. If we leave now--
(OFF) Without a commander, we'll have no chance against their superior forces.
(OFF) I recommend you leave the facility and order our remaining men to retreat.
(OFF) No, there will be victims either way.
(OFF) You have to choose. Otherwise, everyone will die.
Still, I want all of us to survive.
You mean, we might be fine if there was a commander.
I'm back commanding the frontlines. You go get Dead Master and Strength back.
What about Charlotte?
(OFF) The recalibration is done. I just have to deprogram her somehow.
[grunts]
There's one thing I realized through this journey.
You Hemiteos Units are messed up, all of you.
I agree with you.
That's why when you three get together, you'll surely do something extraordinary.
That might be true.
We're all going to go crush the Orbital Elevator.
And I mean all of us.
(OFF) Don't give your friends' lives to that warm-up act Smiley and the Institution.
Roger.
Everyone! Fight for your lives. Survive!
Don't let any of those fanatics through! Got it?
Yeah!
Poor thing.
(OFF) [grunts] (ON)
Uh… Ugh. [gasps]
(OFF) I'll educate and enlighten you.
Scan complete. Several guard units. What should we do, Empress?
We don't have time. I'll use the Overdrive Key.
That's dangerous. I can't recommend it.
I know. I had unrepairable damage the last time I used it.
(OFF) Empress, your memory--
Yes, I remember it all now.
In the last war, the three of us were defeated by Lunatic.
Well. Hmm?
Overdrive Key gives you dozens of times the strength of your normal power.
But one wrong step
and your cranial nerves will overload with countercurrent and be fried.
But if I don't use it now I won't be able to rescue them.
Ten seconds. That's all your body can take.
Empress, although I'm a machine, I feel that I don't want to lose you.
Okay. I'll do it within ten seconds.
(OFF) Let's do it. I'll support you with my best performance.
Mm-hmm. I'm depending on you.
(OFF) Get set, Empress. Overdrive Keraunos.
Initiating countdown.
Ten, nine,
(OFF) eight, seven, six, five, four, three.
Hmm?
Whoa!
(OFF) You (ON) finally came.
I'm taking these two with me.
(OFF) Yahoo!
Sorry I'm late, Empress.
No, the timing's perfect.
I knew it. You are definitely my bride.
The fact that you came here is proof.
I don't understand how you came up with that conclusion.
Then you should try harder.
[grunts] (OFF)
[gasps]
Yikes! [gasps]
My dad is gone, isn't he?
(OFF) He's alive! He's still alive!
Then I'll kill him. I'll do it before he kills me.
Okay, okay, I got it. Please call the Colonel.
Oh, Hemiteos Units, you have chosen the wrong side.
Humans are going extinct and machines are the ruling species now.
Doing what's right isn't about picking sides. It's about choosing your own way.
Nonsense. I pity you for not understanding evolution and history.
Damn. What's this feeling I'm getting?
I've experienced being rescued by Empress before…
(OFF) My head hurts! (ON) Go away! Disappear!
I'm going to kill you, so I can kill myself later!
[grunts]
[gasps]
(OFF) Lunatic's mind control is triggered (ON) by your very existence.
Debugging them will cause memory defects.
(OFF) They may not remember you…
They can forget me, as long as they don't die or get killed.
Warning. Significant damage to body and brain functions.
(OFF) Ninety-three percent error. Supply organic parts and undergo maintenance immediately.
[grunting] [panting] (OFF)
It's okay. I'll meet them again someday.
No. She didn't run away.
(OFF) She didn't. (ON) Empress didn't abandon us.
[grunts]
Humans turned you orphans into immortal war machines.
(OFF) You and I are the same, perfect yet alone. That's why we're attracted to each other.
No.
(OFF) We have our memories (ON) from the past.
Our past experiences led us to the present.
But not you.
Are you saying there's a difference?
You are obsessed with having a child because you want to deny your emptiness.
But it's impossible for someone who's empty to create anything.
I have an idea. I'll eat you so you become a part of my body to create my child.
Charlotte! Listen to me carefully. Drop your weapon.
It's okay now.
My dad is dead. Schoolmaster Smiley told me so.
No, that man is your father!
(OFF) You stay quiet!
Wha…
[exhales] You're right. I don't deserve to be called father by you.
The one who protected you was Jessica.
Jessica…
Of course, you remember her. She was your mother.
(OFF) My mom tried to kill me!
Jessica would never try to kill you. You know that, Charlotte.
(OFF) She was your mother and you were her daughter.
[gasps] Ah…
(OFF) Charlotte.
Huh? [grunts]
(OFF) [groans]
[groans]
Hmm.
I grab and I destroy!
Aren't you dead yet?
Whoa!
I aim and I pierce!
[grunts]
(OFF) [groans]
And you penetrate...
(OFF) Black Rock Shooter.
We are not perfect, so we're not alone.
(OFF) That's all there is to it.
Huh?
[screams]
[groans]
I- I'm gonna kill-- [gasps]
[groans] It's all right, Charlotte.
I couldn't protect you or Jessica when you needed me the most.
But if you're going to kill anyone, let me be the last one.
(OFF) Charlotte, don't kill anyone else.
(OFF) You don't have to kill anymore.
[grunts]
[gasps]
[exhales]
[gasps] [screams]
[gasps]
You're a tough one.
I have the luck of the devil.
People like you tend to die easily in this world.
Huh?
They're back.
We're both so roughed up, it's too embarrassing to face my daughter.
It was a deadly battle. But I was able to rescue them.
I've never been on such an enjoyable mission.
Huh? [laughs]
I never thought you'd make a joke that could make me laugh.
(OFF) You're capable of laughter?
I have pain in my stomach. Don't make me laugh.
Just wait and see. We'll beat those damn scrap iron machines soon.
(OFF) No cursing.
(OFF) Mom said not in front of the children.
Oh. Charlotte, you...
Good morning, dad.
Depth of water
What's happening?
(OFF) The Iron Ocean is rising rapidly. Report it to headquarters right away.
