01x12 - Takt -Hope

[bunniefuu]

I figured they'd try to stop us.

Isn't that going a bit overboard?

It's not a problem.

A one-on-one suits me better anyway.

Let's get that thing out of the way.

You're right.

Guess it's showtime.

Let the show begin!

Are you going all out from the beginning?

Sound judgment.

Don't retreat! Advance!

Try dealing with these.

Anything half-assed won't work.

She recovers immediately.

Should we launch continuous attacks
so she has no time to heal?

Or deal one fatal blow
that damages her so badly,

she won't be able to recover.

That's right.

Come to me.

What?

Nearly.

But you won't reach me like that.

Destiny!

I forgot you were this capable,

Takt Asahina.

I've reached you.

You go on ahead, Maestro.

We're running out of time.

Let me handle the rest.

I'm your Musicart, Takt Asahina.

I can handle this.

All right, I'll leave it to you.

Sacrificing yourself to let him proceed?

To acknowledge your courage,

I'll defeat you with all my might.

You're always so dramatic.

It's very annoying.

The defensive line has been breached.

We can't hold them back any longer.

We've lost contact
with the Musicart squad too.

The number of D2s keeps increasing!

We'll abandon this post.

Maintain formation and retreat...

We must protect
this position at all costs.

If we retreat,

we'll lose any advantage we had.

As a result, even more lives will be lost.

The lives of your family and partners.

Who is going to protect them?

You're all they have.

Let's get this under control!

D2s in these zones have been suppressed.

The plan worked!

Great! We won here!

It all starts now. Let's turn the tables.

We're the Symphonica,
the hope of the people!

With this amount of force,

we can stop the D2.

Let me join. I don't want to lose!

I won't miss this precious opportunity.

Don't treat me like a casualty.

I can keep fighting!

The future is in our hands.

As long as we get this area
under control, we could win.

We can do it.

Damn aliens.

We'll show you what humans are made of!

Giant D2s are appearing again!

There are so many!

Can we really defeat them on our own?

It's time to sleep.

-Give Mommy a goodnight kiss.
-Hang in there.

The citizens haven't been evacuated yet.

It's even more delicious than before.

-Did you add something?
-Darn it.

When will these monsters stop coming?

Maybe I'm trying too hard

because it's a first date.

I won't go down without a fight.

I'll give those huge things
what they deserve!

My sister is pregnant.
We better send a card.

Where are the Musicarts?
Are the Conductors here yet?

I have to work overtime again today.

I'd love to go get drunk occasionally.

Retreat! We've lost this place.

Tell everyone...

You made coffee? Thank you.

We've reached the end.

No way... I don't want to die!

-I don't want to!
-I need to clean the yard.

It's full of fallen leaves.

Save me, Mom!

I wonder if I can play outside tomorrow.

I see.

It hurts so much.

I feel like I'll be ripped apart.

Hello, Takt.

Welcome.

I'm happy to see you again.

Is that so?

I came to end all this.

Shall we have a little talk?

I love this world.

Is this for your pride as a Musicart?

We desire to fulfill the missions
we've been given.

That is what drives us.

Even though you know the outcome,

you continue struggling and fighting.

Don't talk like you know it all.

So if Sagan orders you,

you'd be willing to do anything?

We must save the world.

The pain that people ran from,

he embraced it all head-on.

So as a Musicart, I will support him

until his ambition is realized.

No matter how cruel and bloody,

or unfathomable this path is to others,

it's only this path we've chosen

that can save the world!

I've made a decision

to seal all the D2 in this land.

All around the world,
people continue to lose their lives.

To stop this, we simply have to
gather all the D2 in one place.

I will use this continent to do so.

To stop lives being lost,
you'll sacrifice this nation?

You want all of us to die for this?

Takt, you've witnessed many deaths
and sacrifices until now, haven't you?

To sacrifice your life
for the one you love.

Is there anything more beautiful,

more glorious,

more radiant with joy?

The way the Rooster died was incredible.

So was Lenny's death.

By sacrificing our lives
for the people of the world,

we can experience ecstasy,
and we can be saved.

It's the dying screams we cry

when facing our terrible fate,

after our future and all hope
have been ripped away,

that will save the world,

and protect the music of life!

I spent four years preparing for this.

But this was just that moment of silence
before the conductor waved his hand

and the sound
of the first note was played.

Now the performance will really start.

Of a more comforting song.

A song filled with joy.

Everybody blessed
with this great happiness,

come together and rejoice!

The moment the people of this land
sing together in joyous unison

is now upon us.

Pain itself is joy.

And now the curtain falls.

I must return to him soon.

Don't worry,
I'll send your Conductor to join you.

Then the world can be saved.

The thing you want to save

isn't this world, is it?

Don't act like you know.

What would a newly born
Musicart like you know?

It seems you've already given up.

I won't give up on what I want to save.

And I'll say exactly what I want to.

Because...

he's always been so selfish,

he refuses to give in to anyone,

and he lives the way his heart tells him.

I want to protect the path he's walking.

I want to keep walking with him.

The future I hope to see

is the world he wishes for.

Don't you feel the same?

Come, join us,

as we sing our joyful song.

This endless w*r has gone on for so long,

the world is filled with despair
that cannot be dispelled.

You've dealt with
a lot of despair yourself, haven't you?

The pain is finally going to end.

Offering up countless lives
and accepting that pain itself is joy

is the only way to save...

Who cares? Idiot.

I'm totally clueless

as to how you've reached this conclusion.

Because...

the world still has music.

The D2 can be defeated
by the power of our music.

You were a Conductor,
but don't you understand this?

I see no need to despair.

There's no need to overthink it like you.

Music saves humans.

It's because of music

that I'm standing here.

I've always been saved by music.

The hope and happiness that music delivers

will never be taken away by anyone again.

Give him a round of applause.

My comedy has come to an end.

Maestro,

what is that song?

Even now at the end of everything,

you still can't read the room.

Do I really need to explain this for you?

I promised to let you hear it, remember?

You mean, you've really finished it?

You hadn't made any progress
even by the time we arrived in New York.

I thought you'd already given up.

Who do you take me for?

Even with everything
we've been going through,

I was able to complete
the melody in my head.

All that's left is to reorganize
it all into a proper piece.

You make it sound so simple,

but isn't that the hardest part?

You talk like you're an expert,

but what do you know about music?

I was born from music.

Any questions?

I'm rather tired,
which makes sense I suppose.

You worked hard.

You're pretty beat up.

You too, Maestro.

Titan and the others
will surely come to save us soon.

Until then,

let me take a nap.

Okay, goodnight.

We're going to be busy from now on...

Takt.

I...

love you.

We located one of them, he's unconscious.

Call the rescue team now.

I repeat.

We located one of them, he's unconscious.

I'll do the first aid.

Prepare a cryosleep tank!

The tree is amazing.

Right.

Where are we going next?

Let's check that place out.

Anna!

You surprised me!

You look so cool I hardly recognized you.

I'm not used to this outfit yet.

Still, I never thought
you'd join the Symphonica.

I did tell her she might want to wait
a little before making this decision.

I hate the idea of spending

years and years not doing anything.

I want to do all I can
so that he can play music freely

when his treatment ends and he wakes up.

I believe that's the wish
those girls entrusted to me.

Let's go, Cosette.

Destiny.
