No matter what pretty words you claim, this is reality.
No matter how noble your cause, blood will spill if you fight,
and the weak die.
I know.
I know that I am only spouting idealism.
So, what are you planning to do?
Sure, your thoughts are admirable.
But I hope you're not asking me
to risk my life to fight against Berühren, since you can't move.
Juzo!
Justice that doesn't put your own life on the line is just an empty pipe dream.
But...
Even so...
Even though I know it's a pipe dream...
...I can't help being enamored by the beauty of it!
I'll put my life on the line!
To grasp that dream!
This power...
He used Harmony on himself to remove the power limitations of his extensions!
Degeneration
You knocked an old man down without any hesitation.
It seems I have underestimated you.
However, surely you've realized after experiencing it yourself.
All action causes a reaction.
And the bigger the action, the bigger the response...
You are only running away from making the choice.
By not choosing the right thing, without fearing the resulting sacrifice...
...you will create a much larger sacrifice in response.
Sacrifice?
Did you know the young man named Colt?
He worked hard for his family.
He was baited by the rewards offered by your organization
and was used as a scapegoat in your acts of terrorism.
Colt died. Right in front of my eyes.
All the warmth seeped away from his body.
As I thought, you didn't know.
None of you know anything about the people who have died because of your actions.
That's why you can talk about sacrifice so easily.
Aren't you the one who is really running away?
You're turning your eyes away from the results of your actions.
Why?!
Why don't you finish me off?!
I will surely get my hands on Harmony and Device 13 someday!
If you want to stop me, this will be your only chance to finish me off!
It is not my job to pass judgment on you.
And...
...didn't you say that the ideals of man tend to change?
I do not believe they always change for the worse.
Such words are mere sophism...
However, that is yet another form of one who tries to struggle in this lacking world.
It seems my research was not in vain.
I see...
Even though I said such big words and want to buy as much time as I can for Tetsuro,
I wonder how far I can get with all these needles shot into me.
Kronen.
You should take care of your fellow student before chasing after Extendeds!
I told you he was an inadequate junior.
Though, as expected of an Over-Extended that survived that grueling war...
What an overwhelming aura.
Honestly, you're pretty scary.
But, well...
I'm not the one who will be your opponent.
My needles don't only work on Extendeds.
They also aren't only used to limit movement.
I can unleash power that can even go up against Extendeds.
Though, it causes a lot of strain on the body in exchange.
Hey, now...
Now that your movements are sealed, I think there's a good chance of winning.
Y-You! You were a woman?!
This is the end, profane existence!
Your form is the personification of the sins of Extendeds.
The man I loved died after being caught in the crossfire of Extended crime.
I am thankful for this chance to fight you once again.
Hold on a sec. Some clothes first--
This is really hard to deal with...
Heated Hand Knife.
Heavenly Vortex Jigen-ryu.
First Blade!
I don't really like hitting women...
...but I had to bring down that spirit a notch.
You are pretty reckless swallowing those cigarettes whole.
It seems you were using the medicine to force your nerves under control,
but now the backlash is setting in.
It's probably about time.
I'm sure my sponsor is done by now.
Sponsor?
That's right.
I was just buying time for my sponsor so you wouldn't get in the way.
I don't actually have much interest in the two of you.
While there are people here who purely hate Extendeds like Shimazu,
most people are in Spitzbergen for the money now.
Well, I'm sure there are many that hate Extendeds due to the lack of jobs.
But putting food on the table comes first.
That old man didn't even understand that.
He only spouts dreams about changing Extendeds to how they were meant to be.
Did you know?
The more terrorism there is,
the more the public accepts extension technology for self-defense?
The actions of Spitzbergen, who wants to stamp out Extendeds,
increases Berühren's profits.
It can't be that your sponsor...
I think his name was Cunningham?
From now on, I'll be committing acts of terrorism with money from Berühren.
It's definitely more profitable that way.
That old man was in the way, but he was always hiding away somewhere.
Well, killing someone who took care of me for so long is pretty terrible, right?
So... I feel bad for you two, but today was the perfect chance.
You bastard...
Unforgivable.
You trampled on the ideals of the elder! Our ideals!
Kunugi!
You're...!
To be honest, it kinda pisses me off.
But that fatty ordered us to protect this guy, so we have to.
That's work for you.
I'm so sick of it.
I have to protect a weak asshole and kill a sad old man...
Huh?
So, getting to meet you here is really romantic.
E-Elder!
Oh, wow. That's pretty gory.
You didn't have to bring his head here.
Bastard... what did you do with Tetsuro?
Gun Slave Unit Device 13...
Your hands abandoned you, right?
Elder...
The Gun Slave Unit rebellion you were ordered to suppress.
Right in the middle of that,
your Hands decided to turn tail from the enemy and was never heard from again.
Ever since then, you haven't had an owner.
Why?
Are you still being loyal to the one who abandoned you?
What're you trying to say.
Don't you feel like you're lacking something, too?
Then, become mine.
So hotblooded.
Hitze Faust.
As I thought, you don't need an old device like him, Pepper.
I'm more useful than him.
You really don't get it at all.
Look, Seven.
There's something cool about him even when he's getting beat up.
Really?
What are your owners trying to do?
They even use terrorists...
You aren't seriously going to tell me it's just rake in more money, right?
Who knows?
More importantly, it looks like you still can't get serious about this.
How about I tell you if you can beat Seven?
The place your partner, who abandoned you, currently is.
I don't know what you're planning.
But for a joke...
...that's not funny!
Sturm Faust!
Attack confirmed.
Following interception procedures, restricted combat program initiated.
Now you're motivated!
It's smart of you to use the restricted combat program.
You'll be able to prevent indiscriminate targeting, even without a Hands.
That way, you can fight without any worry.
You know, if I get my hands on you,
I think I'll really be able to confirm that I'm here in this world.
That's why I want to take you down to your knees when you're serious...
...and carve my name into you!
Skeletal lamination compression, secondary release.
Don't disappoint me too much, Seven.
He's weak. You don't need him.
It's good to have a second gun on hand.
You should become mine before you get broken.
I can't let that happen.
Funke Faust.
Seven!
Now commencing...
...Battle procedures.
I don't know if you can hear me right now,
but you can't win against Seven!
Of course not.
I have a Hands. I have Pepper.
I'm different from you!
So scary.
You should never go against an Over-Extended.
Hey. Don't you think so, too?
If I leave you behind and Spitzbergen gets their hand on you,
that would be a pretty big problem.
I just followed those two from Berühren here, but ran into a nostalgic face.
Long time no see, Kronen.
We went through the same training together once, with our hatred for Extendeds...
But here we are on completely different sides.
Is your car still the only thing in your heart?
My job is to eliminate all criminal Extendeds.
I have nothing to say to a terrorist.
But... Well, you're a different story.
I have to take responsibility for an embarrassing fellow pupil.
What the hell's wrong with you?!
Was that Inui just now?
Juzo...
Well, I guess that's your choice, partner.
I hate you.
