It's no good! The osmosis tank isn't responding!

We'll have to shunt down the vacuum feed!

What's happened?

What on earth is that?

The culture fluid is transforming!

What is it?

The neo-cells...

It's the neo-cells!

Organs are recombining.

You mean they're regenerating?

Professor, what's going on?

What the...?

What is it?

Code 206, 206!

It's me, Naito!

Hurry, for God's sake!

Professor, let's go, quickly!

Open up!

We're still in here! Open the door!

They're coming...

Who ordered the alert?

Mr Naito did...

That idiot!

They've escaped through the sewers.

See where they lead.

Wait a moment!

Forget about here! Set up an outside barrier!

Who said we take orders from you?

The General entrusted the running of this project

entirely to me.

Soldiers like you should just follow my orders.

All of you, get outside!

Get me HQ.

Lunna...

My daughters in there!

We'll go with you.

Suit yourself!

Lunna.

Has something happened?

Naito here. I'm coming in.

I'll report when I arrive.

Mother!

Tetsunya!

They're escaping in a car with a hostage.

Seal off Eurasia Zone Three!

Where's Midori?

Hold on, Ikegami!

Hold on!

Azunma!

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?

Tetsunya is dead.

I don't want to come back, Father!

Please.

Don't do it!

Stop!

Kozunki, give me a hand.

This is impossible!

Get out through that door.

Look after Tetsunya.

It's your father!

Kozunki, defective humans will be eradicated.

You mustnt die.

Hold on!

Don't die.

Don't die.

What have you...

What have you done?

What?

Agitators are still at large in Eurasia Zone Three.

They are highly contaminated.

Please report their presence.

Let's see your ID.

I beg your pardon, sir. Please pass.

They may be heading for Zone Seven.

Kozunki Residence

This is a prototype of the body armour

I developed.

It's not perfect, but it's designed to shield

the soldier from all external threats

and allow him to attack rapidly.

Tetsuya's muscles are now so overdeveloped

that his skin may be unable to withstand

the pressure and may rip apart.

We must find some way of containing

the internal pressure.

Sekiguchi!

Sekiguchi!

Youll die if you stay here!

Mother...

You hated the war so munch.

It's so absurd that people

should be killing each other.

When will it all end?

How many will die before it ends?

Will peace ever come?

We're alive!

We are unmistakably alive.

But men made no attempt to recognise this.

Far from it, they used every brutal means

at their disposal to destroy us.

As if they had the right to judge.

As if they deserved such a right.

Is there superiority and inferiority in living?

Is there superiority and inferiority

with regard to the poignancy of life?

Is there superiority and inferiority

in the glorification of a single life?

No!

Absolutely not!

But man placed us on the scales of judgment.

If they claim this as their right,

then we will claim our rights too!

We can possess these rights!

We'll build a kingdom here.

As our lives dictate.

As our wills dictate and

where our hopes and aspirations lead us.

As a new species reigning over death,

we Neoroids vow

to exterminate mankind.

We are the Neoroids.

Surrender to us.

Are plans in place for the next offensive?

Yes.

Two divisions are standing by for the attack

on the two cities of Hatena and Gort.

Intelligence reports three scientists in Gort

and eight in Hatena.

Roboticians, armour specialists

and nuclear physicists.

Just what we need for our new factory.

How is building work progressing?

Right. Bring me those scientists.

Let them contribute to the prosperity

of our kingdom.

It's nothing.

Reports just in indicate that

Neoroids have abducted military scientists

and are forcing them to work

on the production of robots.

The Army has therefore decided to step up

security to protect not only government officials

but also chemists, biologists and physicists.

That's as munch as I can do for now.

Even an imperfect protective suit should stop

Tetsuyas body from bursting apart.

Father, father!

Is this the armour expert Dr Kozunki?

He's coming with us.

Puny human.

Tetsunya?

Tetsunya...

Tetsunya...

The fate lying in store for you

is just too cruel.

But

there must be some meaning to it all.

There must be some meaning.

You should know what it is.

Lunna.

I'm sorry.

Never look back

Father!

Tetsunya, get up.

Get up!

Tetsunya, wake up!

Who are you?

Why are you alive?

Tetsunya...

Stop.

Stop!

Get lost!

Go away!

Go away, freaks!

Are your neo-cells still not ready?

I can't afford to wait.

What use are you if you can't deliver?

No more excuses

Youre as self-seeking as ever.

All you think about is yourselves.

How dare you!

Youre just old farts saving your own skins.

You may be the general's son but you can't

get away with speaking like that.

Can you not see the threat posed by

the Neoroids before your very eyes?

Yet to see that this country is ruled by people

whose sole concern is to extend their lives

I find this unforgivable.

Yukio.

suppose you realise what you're saying

Of course.

From this moment the Greater Eastern

Federation is under my command.

I'm afraid the era of government

by brain-dead old fogies is over.

Yukio!

Satisfied, now?

Commander Kamijo.

Let me introduce

Professor Azunma.

So youre the father of the Neoroids?

Why were you so thoughtless?

It's strange, isn't it?

I thought youd be pleased.

I didn't create them.

I told you I have no idea how they came to life.

Professor, it's too late to get yourself off the hook

by feigning ignorance.

Neoroids are growing more powerful by the day.

Unless we can tell the Army soon what their

weaknesses are and how they can be attacked,

our own lives may be in danger.

Continue with your research.

In return, the Army will take it on themselves

to find your wife.

The condition though is that you accept

that Neoroids are your creation.

There's nothing for you to object to.

Your time has come at last.

Why do people fight?

Who did this?

We're hurt, so we hurt in turn.

We're killed, so we kill in turn.

The same thing over and over again.

I can see it.

What can I do?

What can you see?

Now see

Now I can accept it...

And now, my own father killed...

What should I do at a time like this?

What should I do?

It's fine now...

If it were just a matter of getting a gun

and killing someone...

I will.

If this anguish would but disappear...

Should I fight, too?

Stop it!

Stop talking nonsense.

But you fought?

It's my duty to my country.

You wanted to go to war.

Youve no idea what war is like...

Lunna.

You must escape.

What are you saying?

If you stay with me

Youll be killed.

I'm to be alone again?

Don't leave me!

I'm to be alone again?

Don't leave me!

Lunna, listen.

You saw it too.

What humans do to non-humans.

I don't mind what form you take.

Youre still human.

Youre kind and considerate.

I'm no longer human.
