Kuromukuro (2016) s02e06 Episode Script
An Invitation from a Ogre
1 We have retrieved Muetta.
Then we're in luck.
What's her status? She's fairly weak⦠no, it's more like she's barely clinging to life.
We haven't yet been able to fully analyze her condition.
You are certain that she is Muetta, right? There's no doubt about that.
All the characteristics of her body indicate that she really is Muetta.
I see.
Make her recover if possible.
Those are her wounds of honor.
As you wish.

Yukina was abducted? I am truly sorry.
Even though I was there, I couldn't do anything.
If the Efidolg were to attack now, it would be difficult for us to defend.
More importantly, we need to rescue Yukina fast.
That may be so, but our enemy is in outer space.
Yukina was⦠abducted? What are you talking about? That's t-terrible.
We need to contact the police.
Marina-chan, calm down.
But⦠Yuki-nee⦠We need to take you all to the Research Institute for protection and questioning.
I guess there is no other way.
Well, let's go, everyone.
Will Yukina be alright? Yuki-nee will come back, right? Who knows? They descended from space just to kill Ouma.
You jerk! I'm going to save Yukina! Let go of me! Let me go to space! Thank you for coming all the way here.
Dr.
Hausen, did you discover something? One can safely say that this Yukihime and Yukina-san are the same person.
The DNA pattern matches Yukina-san's.
If this were a criminal case, she would definitely be guilty.
Furthermore, their mitochondrial DNA is identical.
That means it's identical to yours too, director.
So she's my ancestor? Not a direct ancestor, I'd wager.
This chromosome pattern was common in humans of ages past.
Yukina-san's genes are atavistically identical.
They really are identical.
Could it be that Yukina was mistakenly abducted? That is quite likely.
Can't Yukihime-sama be cured? She is currently being examined.
Considering the regenarative capabilities of the Efidolg, her wounds should've closed by now.
Well, have you decided on a strategy? A strategy for what? Isn't it obvious? For rescuing our piece of junk of a princess.
There's no strategy for that.
No matter the cost, we should always rescue our captured comrades.
It is an iron rule.
Were that not the case, nobody would fight with their lives on the line.
This isn't America.
Besides, how do you think we can save her? To figure that out is the commander's role.
When given an order, I am ready to do whatever it takes, anywhere.
It's unusual, but I agree with this idiot.
I will not formulate a plan that involves sending you on a suicide mission.
This is my decision as commanding officer.
But if there's a possibility, you will do it, right? If only there were one.
Sorry, right now I need you to follow orders.
The current situation is quite severe.
Since the Black Relic is immobilized, we can only fight the enemy using the GAUS.
For this reason, the third one is also being deployed.
The third one? Thanks to the shipment of parts we received the other day, we can now also use GAUS 3.
All are single-seated.
The pilots will be Tom, Shen Mi and Mozumi.
I will, of course, get the biggest one, right? I see.
When will a fourth one be available? Even if a fourth one becomes available, you will not be its pilot, Sophie Noelle.
But there are no other pilots accustomed to the GAUS.
I can't permit you to pilot now that you've been recalled to your country.
I⦠Sophie Noelle, return home and await further orders.
Unless there is an emergency, you are not required to come here.
I don't think I need to tell you that, but beware that you not leak any confidential information.
I take my leave.
Will the director be alright? It's pretty bad.
We don't know what she might do.
Well, her daughter was abducted, after all.
What? You can't help? NASA is using our research students for their purposes too.
Even Space Command⦠Hey! Now she's calling the Director of the United Nations.
Is that alright? We can't do anything about it.
Can you spare a moment? Alright.
Be frank with me here.
Is it possible? Yes, it is.
According to our findings, the pilot's will is not necessary to activate the Black Relic.
I didn't want to go that far, but⦠Have it prepared as a last resort.
You're making quite the long face.
Sophie-dono.
Knowing you, I thought you could save Yukina-san even on your own.
You aren't your usual self.
Are you thinking that Yukina-san is unneeded now that Yukihime is here? Don't joke with me! I will keep my promise to Yukina at any cost.
Shit.
I am furious at my powerless self! That person you call Yukihime tried to kill you.
Why are you so fixated on her? She is our enemy.
Even if she has forgotten everything, she still is Yukihime-sama.
And because she is here, you will run away to her side just like that? That would be wrong! Still, without the Black Relic, I have no chance of winning.
I feel sorry for Yukina-san.
Do you Do you want to learn the truth about demons? Do you want to learn the truth about demons? Do you want to learn the truth about demons? If you wish to speak with me, then nod.
We will meet soon.
Farewell.
She's not here.
Where has she gone? Invitation to the Demons' Banquet The mysterious airframe that attached itself to the Black Relic? Yes.
We're curious about it too.
It seems the JSDF are searching, but have found nothing so far.
We have the tracking data and voice recording, though.
Voice recording? Did he say something? Yes, although it was rather cryptic.
"I am ready to discuss things anytime.
" "The rest is up to you.
" Who are you? You don't know about me, do you? It's the same voice.
We now know why her wounds were not closing.
Her antibodies are currently fighting the virus.
The regenerative nanomachines are fighting those that would destroy her body.
Is it the same as when the Black Relic's sword pierces nanomachine armor and makes it useless? You catch on quickly, as expected of the director.
To cure her, we just need to break the stalemate inside her body.
By introducing new nanomachines.
That's your blood I'm talking about, Mr.
Ouma.
Can we save her with that? Luckily, your blood type is 0, Mr.
Ouma.
We haven't observed any rejection of nanomachines, so we can transfuse immediately without need for segregation.
We just need the director's permission.
Let's do it immediately.
Come on, hurry up.
Yes.
Hausen-dono, if you please.
Yukihime-sama.
You are⦠Why? Why are you going so far to save an enemy? I want to serve you, Yukihime-sama.
That is all.
Well, how's the girl doing? Don't touch my body.
Incredible.
The wounds have completely closed.
Yukihime-sama, we fought the Oni together.
That is unquestionable truth.
I hope you will recall it someday.
You expect me to believe that nonsense? Oh, memory loss, I presume? It's likely that you really are the Yukihime from 450 years ago.
One thing that's certain is that your DNA pattern is identical to Yukina-kun's.
DN� What are you talking about? I'm saying that Efidolg have mistakenly retrieved Yukina instead of you.
Impossible.
Let's leave her here for some more time.
I'm eager to observe how the regeneration of her internal tisuses will progress.
From tomorrow on, you no longer need to come here.
At least allow me to escort you to school.
It is my duty.
No, I'll be fine.
Thank you for everything you did so far.
O-ojou-sama! Ojou-sama⦠I've been waiting for you, Sophie Noelle.
That voice⦠Could you put that dangerous thing away? First off, you should apologize for barging into a lady's room without permission.
That is true.
I am deeply sorry.
Now, allow me to introduce myself.
I am Zeringer Mundef Bischlei.
You are welcome to call me Zeru.
Zeru.
You speak good Japanese.
I know better than any Japanese how this language evolved over the years.
Why me? What do you mean? There are people far more important than me, like the director, Yukina-san and Kennosuke.
That is one of the reasons.
It would be difficult for me to contact the people you mentioned on my own.
That's true.
Besides, a conversation with them could get too emotional.
Is that the only reason? There is another.
You are always clever.
That's something I didn't expect to hear.
I've been watching you guys the entire time.
You are the most composed one, so I concluded that you are the right person to talk to.
If nothing else, you are more than just a lowly soldier who serves with blind devotion.
That's⦠not how it is.
Are you really a demon? I am neither a demon nor an earthling.
I find that hard to believe.
I wouldn't be surprised if you had a human face under that mask.
Owing to cosplay culture, I can move around easily these days.
Are you an enemy? Or an ally? At the very least, I am an enemy of Efidolg.
You're still not saying that you're an ally? What is the true objective of Efidolg? Yes, her body has healed.
Yes, we will now start administering the drugs.
This is also open? What is it? I have something to ask of you, Yukihime-sama.
I humbly request that you pilot the Black Relic with me.
Why do you want me, an enemy, to cooperate with you? You aren't my enemy.
Besides, with you it will be possible to move the Black Relic.
That Black Grongul can be activated by me? But you can just register a different pilot with it.
If it's not you, it will not move.
You're saying the registration can't be overwritten? Then, assuming I can get it to move, what will you do with it? Surrender it to Efidolg? Nothing like that.
Yukina⦠I want to save the girl named Yukina.
The pilot named Yukina is probably on our warship.
How do you plan to reach it? That is⦠Well, I can pretend that I have stolen the Black Grongul and am returning it.
That's right! But I can't guarantee your return here once you board our warship.
Whoa.
Whoops.
Take it easy.
You're going to save Yukina, right? This way.
Well, you came here alright.
This tunnel was excavated 60 years ago for archaeological purposes.
Only Hiromi-kun and I know this place.
You sure took your time! Huh? What's going on here? You are going to save Yukina, right? That's right, but⦠Then go and save her quickly.
She planned for this.
I just wish this had occured after my retirement.
Please, find a way to save Yukina.
Understood.
What made her so angry? She was told that she should give up on Yukina and that Yukihime could pilot the Black Relic instead.
In any age, soldiers were treated as pawns.
Hiromi is already working her magic.
SECURITY SYSTEM DOWN The security systems are down.
She went that far? The captured Cactus is trying to escape? Mothers are awesome.
Now it's all up to you two.
Thank you for everything you have done.
I couldn't have done anything on my own.
Right back at you.
Hiromi wants to save her daughter, and you too want to save Yukina.
We were just carried by your wishes.
Now it's up to you to fulfill them.
Don't stumble midway.
Got it! Why is it moving? I didn't pledge to this Grongul.
I ask this of my descendant: Fight the demons.
Protect the people.
That is the mission of the Washiba clan.
Is this me? Yukihime-sama⦠Is there a truth about me that I don't know? I will make you answer me, Lefil.

Kennosuke⦠I never thought I would be taken to space.
This rubber wrapping in which I was carried is quite robust.
