a mountain too [H]igh

Ah, simply thinking of that person
makes my heart falter into a thousand pieces.
Your Highness, what agonizes you so?
Tomorrow is your coronation.
That Do not speak of that.
So this is where you were.
I thought you were dead.
The songstress is mine.
Please escape.
You won't escape.
I'll strike you down.
True love is mine.
Tomorrow is sunny.
Tasty. Tasty.
Will you take a bath?
Or will you eat a meal?
Will you take a bath?
Or will you eat a meal?
Will you take a bath?
Or will you eat a meal?
Okay!
Here.
Now, drink up.
You can't drink Terran water
this fresh in the Bunker.
Come on, take a swill.
I have no need.
Come on, what is it?
You can't drink my water?
I’m sorry. We YoRHa units automatically
replenish water from our internal tanks.
I see. You guys
have really convenient bodies.
However, we will accept your sentiment.
That means this so-called tank
Quietly approach
and squeeze.
What are you doing?
- Where is it attached? Come on, come on.
- S-Stop that!
Jackass, that’s enough.
Boo.
So, what did you guys see?
We
followed a special unit we found in the desert.
It led us to a place where we confirmed
countless android corpses.
The machine lifeforms
It was their doing.
Then, we were caught in a collapse.
Two mutants? Simultaneously?
Yes. It was a type
we've never seen before.
And were you able to defeat them?
No, unfortunately. We uploaded the combat data
to the Bunker where it's currently being analyzed.
That machine lifeform
looked just like an android.
I wish I saw that wonderful sample
with my own eyes.
It was evolving at tremendous speed
from the moment it emerged.
Furthermore, it was capable of speaking words.
It was simply mimicking a human.
But in due time, it might end up
becoming a being that surpasses humanity.
That's going too far, Jackass.
Lately, machine lifeforms
have been clearly changing.
Perhaps we might be able to negotiate
in some way. There is precedence.
Precedence?
Even if we could understand,
our existences are irreconcilable after all.
We might be able
to find a path for a ceasefire.
A ceasefire?
Such a thing won't reclaim this planet for us.
Besides
Besides?
All of our allies who’ve died
What have they been fighting for?
What did they believe in?
Those reasons will all disappear.
The mission given to us androids
is to destroy machine lifeforms for humanity
and regain control of Earth.
How much longer will you fight this war
that’s continued for several thousand years?
Until
every last one of them has been destroyed.
In any case, we can only do
what we are supposed to do for now.
This conversation is over.
We androids who simply follow orders,
and machine lifeforms that are starting
to want freedom, huh?
We androids were modeled
after our human creators.
So why would machine lifeforms
try to mimic us?
There's no point trying to work out
unsolvable problems.
I suppose.
This is Commander White
of Satellite Orbit Base Bunker.
Concerning the operation
currently underway,
it is difficult to continue
with just 2B and 9S after all.
Data collection will prove
to be difficult unless we
Commander.
As we have said multiple times, we cannot
approve your requests for backup.
Use the Resistance onsite as decoys
and execute your mission.
However, if we don't do something, not only
the Resistance decoys, but 2B and 9S will
The special machine lifeform units
encountered last week, Adam and Eve,
and all unique machine lifeform units
that you will contact in the future,
are all embedded within the plan
of Project YoRHa.
Even then, this is too
Everything is for the victory of humanity.
Those in our position must make
decisions with things in perspective.
Even if many sacrifices
are necessary for that purpose?
That's right. And you are already
in the same position as we are.
Glory to mankind.
Glory to mankind.
Commander.
What is it?
I was able to establish communication
with 2B and 9S.
May I brief them of the mission details
that had been planned?
Yes.
This sunny weather sure makes you sleepy.
Why don’t we sleep for a little bit?
There is no need.
Humans in the past
used to take something called naps.
Sleeping when it wasn't necessary
Humans are so interesting.
What's that?
Oh, right. You've never
seen one before, huh?
They're launching supplies from Earth
to the Bunker and the human base on the moon.
After all, there are no parts or fuel
in outer space.
I see.
Why don't machine lifeforms, or the aliens
who created them, directly attack the Bunker?
They must have come
from outer space to begin with.
I don't quite understand how aliens think.
Operator 21O to 9S and 2B.
Yes, yes?
A recon request from the commander.
I will now play the message.
We have confirmed multiple machine lifeforms
that have shown an amicable reaction.
The YoRHa Soldier who went to investigate
left an incomprehensible final vocal message,
and then severed comms.
Oh, what an amusing stage
What does this mean?
Who knows?
As the black box signal can still be confirmed,
we assume that she has not died yet.
We have narrowed down the point
where the signal is originating.
I order the two of you
to investigate this case.
Also, the special machine lifeform
in your report is still under investigation.
We will contact you
when we gain new information.
That concludes the communication.
A missing solder. That's worrisome.
Yeah.
I heard that in the past, YoRHa and Resistance
did not get along.
Do you know anything about that?
No.
Do you know anything, Pod?
The relationship with the Resistance
is filed in a record categorized as Access Denied.
Cannot answer.
It's likely some faction war or something.
They didn't have to resemble humans
in that aspect.
- Work is best done peacefully, on friendly terms
- It's best done quietly.
Okay.
AMUSEMENT PARK
This is
the target location?
Looks like it.
Fun. Fun.
Fun. Fun.
Joy. Share.
They're not attacking us?
Are these the friendly machine lifeforms
they mentioned in the report?
Soon, fun stage will begin.
Could it be the location that was reported
in the voice message?
Report. Faint black box signal detected.
Looks like that's the place.
Report. Multiple android signals
detected beyond this door.
What is this place?
Oh, what beautiful moonlight.
Please be careful.
The moon can drive men insane.
I am already insane,
thanks to an anomaly called love.
What in the world
are those machine lifeforms doing?
A play. Drawing out
human life atop a stage.
Human life? They're machine lifeforms.
How ludicrous.
Oh. It's the twelve o'clock bell.
Prince.
Lady Songstress.
What’s going on?
What is this?
No similar type data available
in past combat records.
It's a mutated unit.
Pod. Covering fire.
Affirmative.
What is it doing?
2B!
We should retreat for now!
Copy that.
Report. Due to enemy electromagnetic waves,
retreat from this combat area is not possible.
It’s disadvantageous
to keep fighting like this.
I can hack in and
Is the enemy hacking us?
Must become beautiful.
Put on many adornments.
I will become beautiful.
2B.
It's nothing serious. More importantly
The "many adornments"?
The enemy’s behavior
The core.
If we can destroy that
I will. I will
become more and more beautiful.
Are these android corpses?
Is it repurposing the corpses to attack?
No, this is
Black box signals have been confirmed.
They've been altered into weapons
while still alive.
Proposal. Retreat.
I will end this here.
I’ll hack into it.
Please cover for me.
Roger.
This place
Hey.
Am I beautiful?
This is like emotions
Hey.
Beautiful?
- Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful?
- Help me. Help me.
Am I beautiful? Am I beautiful?
What in the world
Hey, am I beautiful?
Why you
More.
And more.
Beautiful.
Someone. Someone help me.
No. No.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
Alert. Saturation attack triggered
by enemy consciousness data.
Possibility of immense damage
to memory sector.
9S.
I
love you.
I really
love you.
Just die
already!
Let go.
This is also bad.
This is also bad.
This too. This is also bad.
This is also bad. This is also bad.
This is also bad. This is also bad.
I'm sick of this.
Help. Kill me. Kill me.
Stop it
For his sake. For his
sake.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Alert. Enemy consciousness is running wild
and trying to assimilate 9S.
Pod. Utilize emergency usage
of my hacking attacks to the enemy.
Inadvisable.
Hacking done by Type B models have
the possibility of logic corruption. Unsuitable.
Give me a bypass to 9S.
Just hurry up and do it!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Damn it.
2B!
Why are you here?
That’s mine.
Give it back to me.
There you are.
Pod!
Affirmative.
Go!
I became beautiful.
2B!
Thank you very much
for saving me just now.
But to do something
as reckless as hacking
Don't worry about it. I'm fine.
What's that?
This crystal
Is it the machine lifeform's core?
Analysis. It is a fragment of the core
from the machine lifeform.
Structurally similar to a plant cell.
Plant cell?
This machine lifeform
was saying strange things.
It was like emotions were
Such things don't exist
for machine lifeforms.

Mom.
W-Wait. Please wait.
Play. We just came
to watch the play. Please.
Please. Please. Please.
Please. Please.
P-Please. Please.

You can't hesitate.

weapons for the Final Battle.
The decisions of the Council of Humanity
must be obeyed at all costs.
21O. Report on the operation rate
of the flight assistance units.
Yes. The maintenance team
has reported a 99% operation rate.
Next. 6O. What's going on
with the satellite laser weapon?
Y-Yes. The tech team has reported
it will resume operations soon.
What? It hasn't recovered
from the last time it was used?
You guys are slacking. Machine lifeforms
won't wait for us. Tell them to hurry!
O-Okay.
Listen up. We YoRHa Soldiers
are the spear of hope for humanity.
Engrave that into your hearts
once again. Got that?
Yessir!
Some YoRHa units abandoned their mission.
The operation failed, and every android met their demise.
