After fifty years of bitter warfare
the Greater Eastern Federation
has defeated the European Union
and taken control
of almost all of the Eurasian continent.
But frequent acts of terrorism
the all-out discrimination
and oppression of the government,
which espouses a policy of racial superiority.
Conflict in Zone Seven
has been particularly intense.
The authorities decided on a major expansion
in military might to resolve the situation
and many youg men were sent again to war.
Im honoured to present
the results of my research today
to this forum of the Health Ministry
of the Greater Eastern Federation.
As you know,
gentlemen,
our nation is, with ever increasing momentum,
establishing a co-prosperity sphere in Eurasia.
But the speed of our victory
should not hinder us
from yet further advances.
The first matter we need to consider
is that of our nation's medical care.
Radiation, industrial waste,
germs caused by chemical warfare.
Environmental diseases caused thereby
are a serious threat
affecting 60% of our population.
The frequency of sudden mutations
in the human body is particularly desperate
and current medicine is incapable
of providing treatment.
l wish to present a finding
l have made in this area.
l refer to what l call neo-cells.
Following many long years of research
l discovered that these highly distinctive cells
can be found in a certain small ethnic group.
They are able to metamorphose into any cell
and are the source of all human cells.
All the internal organs,
skin, bones, nerves, nails, hair,
by cultivating and manipulating these cells,
we will be able to produce all the organs
we need whenever we need them.
We will thus be free to create spare parts
for human beings,
and with no risk of tissue rejection
caused by transplanting.
This is truly the medical technology
we have been awaiting so long.
What are the prospects
for its practical application?
immediate, with the appropriate facilities.
Our clone technology is years ahead of yours!
It's just empty theory!
Father, do you want to hear any more of this?!
Certainly it's only theory at present,
but if you grant me the research facilities
and the financing that l need,
we will be able to save
the whole of our population.
You yourselves, your children,
your parents,
and your wives.
Lunna!
When the war's over, let's get married!
OK!
Was it really to see this that we fought the war?
Fifty years of interminable struggle,
and too exhausted to rebuild our society.
I read your paper:
Regenerative therapies employing neo-cells.
Truly the technology of our dreams,
if it's really possible.
Its definitely possible.
If you are able to continue your research.
Professor Azunma!
Those thick-headed officials in the Ministry
of Health won't support your research.
Indeed, they can't support it.
That's because in our country
the term original human is itself taboo.
Excuse me for not introducing myself.
Im Kaorun Naito of Nikko Hairai Inc.
On the request of a particular individual,
we've already built a laboratory
to undertake your research
based on your paper.
What are you talking about?
The military has begun to take an interest.
General Kamijo?
If you wish, you may set up a laboratory at
Army Headquarters as early as tomorrow.
I hear your wife is unwell.
What are you trying to say?
Let's work together
to realise our dreams!
Azunma Residence
Dr Kozunki, move slightly to the right.
That's fine!
Maybe place a hand on her shoulder?
That'll be fine.
Smile, please.
Are you determined to go?
Yes.
With your mother ill?
And what about Lunna?
l can't stay here
while my friends are fighting.
Are you so set against becoming a doctor?
Its my duty to my country.
Youve no idea what war is like.
It can't be worse than cowardice
Darling!
Let's not argue today!
Its OK, Mother.
Go ahead, please.
Lunna...
Congratulations on your engagement.
Thank you.
excuse me
I have to get my new lab ready.
One Year Later
Zone Seven, The Front Line
Shoot, shoot!
Kill her!
Do it or I'll kill you!
Understand?
Midori!
Hang on a little longer. I'll find a cure for you.
Azunma!
Greater Eastern Federation, Army Headquarters
Culture lab.
One moment, please.
Dr Kozunki is in the lobby.
Bring him in.
In here?
That's right.
Right away.
What imposing security!
Sorry to have called you here all of a sudden.
Is Lunna with you?
She's waiting in the lobby.
Midori suddenly said she wanted
to have a meal with us all.
Sounds like a good idea
to get together after so long.
I'm sure she must get lonely.
Has it been a year already?
Lunna is having a hard time because of Tetsunya.
Still no word from him?
Not to me, at least.
He went to war to spite me.
Sons always try to overtake their fathers.
I punt work before family
but I still can't even cure my own wife.
But isn't the neo-cell treatment
Nearly ready?
So this is it? It's incredible what youve done!
Is it usable?
No.
So soldiers wounded in battle will be able to
have new replacement organs.
Youll punt me out of a job: my research on
protective armour is going to be redundant.
It's far from complete.
But there's no time left.
Is Midori that ill?
She's almost blind.
She's still working, though.
The palisade layer
is being selectively destroyed,
and it's become slightly darker.
Perhaps it's because
of the poor state of nutrition.
Here they are.
Did you hear something?
No, I didn't.
I'm sorry. Would you go and see?
Certainly.
Mother!
I'm home.
Will it be in time?
Shouldnt you be by her side?
I'll get ready in time!
Hello?
No...!
Tetsunya?
I'm so glad youre home safe!
We must thank God!
Have you seen Lunna yet?
I'll see her soon.
You must. She's waited so long.
know
I'm so forgetful!
Lunna and Kozunki are coming around tonight.
It'll be such a surprise!
Ikegami-san, Ikegami-san!
Professor!
What's wrong?
Tetsunya...is dead!
Sergeant Tetsunya Azunma died in battle
on the afternoon of September 1 6.
With true dedication, Sergeant Azama
fulfilled his duties to the end
and died a truly heroic soldier's death.
He has been posthumously promoted
to the rank of second lieutenant.
He will be buried tomorrow morning.
Tetsunya!
Sergeant Azunma's funeral
will be performed by the Army.
His family will be able to see him tonight only.
Please prepare yourselves immediately.
Lunna.
I left you once
because of my own carelessness
From childhood I failed to notice that there was
something so important so close,
I thought that time was unlimited.
I know it's too late now
but I'll never leave your side again.
His body's on the way here.
The state funeral will take place tomorrow.
Does Midori know?
She's been told.
Warning
Malfunction in the culture room!
Processor problems. Cause unknown!
