We will fight for the divine power, so we can use it to return our human bodies!
Even so!
Why?
I don't know if you're telling the truth or not.
But you said you wanted to be friends.
So...
All wielders are to abort the mission immediately!
Direct orders from the Japanese government!
We shall leave this to you, Symphogears!
Let's get out of here, Vanessa.
Vanessa-san...
Live your life now
You can live freely
Live your life now
You can live freely
What do you choose to live for?
What do you choose to believe in?
Everyone is free to decide
We seek out that freedom,
and yet we are frozen in our lives,
unable to comprehend the status quo
We wander
Take my hand
Close and far
Hold it gently
Shining
Looking for the fragments of love
Willfully
Time passes by
I chase you
Before we regret it,
Try
let us find
Try
a better future
Live your life now
You can live freely
Does a song resound within your heart?
Our lives last as long as our hearts keep beating,
so make someone else's beat in turn
Stick to the path you have
If you can understand the cry of life,
then play a music none can equal
Live your life now
You can live freely
What the Bag Hides
This has gotta be a joke.
They've seized our HQ?
"Seized"? Please.
Is your grasp of the language that poor?
The Disaster Prevention and National Defense Law, Article 6.
The Japanese government has ultimate authority regarding all special disasters domestically.
Right?
SPECIAL WARRANT
Correct.
we're here to investigate S.O.N.G. on behalf of the Japanese government.
I'll thank you not to refer to it as some kind of invasion by force.
We can't have you causing a public disturbance.
It sure seems like the same thing to me.
Now's not the time for backtalk.
UN special forces units like yourselves are allowed to use force on Japanese soil
only because the Japanese government has prior notification and approval.
Am I incorrect?
You are not.
That is why we submitted the necessary paperwork last ye—
The weapon we observed earlier wasn't mentioned anywhere.
Care to explain?
No... They're using the Amalgam as an excuse?
He clearly planned to do something like this from the start.
Commander Kazanari, I believe we should acquiesce to the government's request.
Well said!
I mean... What?
Kiri-chan, this is adult talk.
If you have nothing to hide,
then you have nothing to fear from our investigation, right?
Very well.
But I have one condition.
You must guarantee that the wielders retain their freedom as well as their converter units.
We're at war here.
We need to be prepared for the unexpected.
That seems reasonable.
But that unknown weapon we saw earlier may not be used until it's been authorized!
If that's what it takes!
Then if you'll excuse me.
That wasn't some "unknown weapon" at all.
It was the courage to open my fists!
This is the last place anyone would think to look.
I never thought they'd put us here.
Since the Disaster Prevention law was passed,
cleanup of special disasters in Japan has been my jurisdiction.
In other words, this is now a sanctum where none shall meddle carelessly.
Which makes it perfect for a hideout.
It's time for you to begin the last phase of the plan.
You will forge the divine power into a blade fit for a sentinel.
Everything you need is available here.
As I mentioned earlier, you will also require energy for the activation,
and we are preparing that now.
But I have some unfortunate news.
As a result of certain individuals who have failed to perform adequately,
I now have meddlesome dogs sniffing around at my feet too.
We...
We of Noble Red had been treated as tools—as objects—all our lives.
I was a Faust Robe researcher in the Bavarian Illuminati,
but I suffered near-fatal wounds in an accident.
My destroyed body was replaced with the very Faust Robe I was researching.
While I ended up clinging to life,
in the eyes of the Illuminati, only perfection was worth anything.
Not only did I lose my status,
but I was further humiliated by being used as a guinea pig to gather data.
The only reason I endured that hell of shame and pain
was the other test subjects, Millaarc and Elsa.
Eventually our suffering there came to an end.
The collapse of the Illuminati freed us from our chains.
But we had a problem: our bodies could not be sustained without a supply of special blood.
That was when Kazanari Fudo showed up.
Lacking military power of his own,
he offered us blood and a means to achieve our goal
in exchange for our assistance with his plan.
If you are monsters, then you must do your job as only monsters can, Noble Red.
Our plan is in motion.
Nothing and no one may stop it now.
I figured I'd hear from you.
Are you sure this line is safe?
An informant I knew from my old beat days gave me this line.
I've taken all appropriate precautions.
It's as you feared.
The proper paperwork was filed for this so-called investigation,
but there are some shady characters on the team with unknown backgrounds.
I see.
And while they made every effort to hide their tracks,
there are signs of Kamakura's involvement as well.
Our negotiations with the US are at a critical point, so I've been on the back foot for a while.
Brother... Do you think the one giving Noble Red their orders might be...
Don't jump to conclusions, Gen.
We mustn't doubt him until we have solid proof.
I want to believe as well.
Kazanari Fudo, whatever issues we may have with his ways, is a sentinel to the core.
And he is our father.
Yeah, but...
I believe in people.
I'm prepared to believe in them until the end.
And that's why I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
Yatsuhiro...
JOINT US-JAPAN LUNAR PROJECT
2ND ARTEMIS PLAN
That's why I made politics my battlefield.
I must first fix our collapsing relations with the US.
The joint lunar ruin expedition is just one step toward that.
If things continue to sour, I'll use the WMD incident to threaten their position in global society.
That should work.
You're the real deal, Yatsuhiro.
You're truly the most fearsome of us brothers.
I'll leave holding the front line to you, Gen.
Plans only start to fall apart once they've been put into motion.
If we can grab the loose threads they keep dangling before us, the wool over our eyes will unravel.
There'll be plenty of time for suspicion then.
Indeed.
Thanks a lot, ma'am.
You're welcome anytime.
You finally got some time off, but you don't seem happy about it.
There's been a lot to worry about.
Most of the personnel are on "special alert standby"?
That's a fine thing to call it!
Basically they just mean "don't get in the way of the investigation."
I'm liking this situation less and less.
But it's an official request, so by law, we can't refuse.
That's the fundamental principle of civilian control.
Nothing we can do.
Tsubasa...
It's not bad to take a break every now and then, but...

Fried Shrimp
What do you like to do on your days off, Elfnein-chan?
Fried Shrimp
I like to take it easy.
By using an applied version of the direct feedback system,
I can simulate the electrical signals that represent memories in the cerebral—
Quit it! Stop! Quit it! Stop!
That's not taking it easy at all! That's proper work, or so it sounds!
What?
I've been wrong all along about how to spend time off?
I'm a failure as an alchemist!
Don't you "I'm a failure" me.
Just spend a few days with our designated party animal and you'll learn in no time.
You mean me?!
Too slow!
Too slow! Too slow!
What's gotten into you? No fair!
That's my Chris impression.
Oh? Is that how she is?
Too slow! Too slow!
How's that for a Chris impression?!
So what are we doing for your vacation?
Hmm... What should we do?
You haven't had a break in forever.
What do you want to do?
Let's see...
Oh!
Until the day we meet again, the day we can see each other again
I don't want to say why we're saying goodbye
Hibiki, what's going on?
This is weird.
Tsubasa-san's been real down lately, so I wanted to cheer her up, but...
For some reason, I'm just lonely
I'm sorry.
I didn't know what to do with my newly found free time, so I took Tachibana up on her offer,
For some reason, I just feel empty
but I don't think my mind's in the right place for this.
I keep thinking that I should be sharpening my sentinel skills instead of enjoying music.
Because we both hurt each other
and lost everything
I can't focus on anything else.
Tsubasa-san...
Together we close the door
Ever since that day, I haven't been able to stop shaking.
Together we erase our names
I feel wretched for being too weak to protect those people.
When that time comes, our hearts will do the talking
I keep blaming myself.
This is so much fun!
So this is how you spend a day off! This is great!
You should think occasionally, Hibiki!
That's not a nice way to put it.
Wait, why are you two fighting?
Why didn't you talk to me about Tsubasa-san?
We could have done something else!
I did my best to come up with an idea!
That's not what's important here.
Did you consider her feelings too?
Do you know how she feels, then?
I do.
I invited someone I love to a concert, and they've been in terrible danger ever since.
I'm the reason they keep putting their life on the line, and I can never forgive myself for that.

I always held back the "sorry" I wanted to say,
because I knew I'd only trouble them more.
Miku, why...
This is Hibiki.
I'm with Tsubasa-san and Elfnein-chan as well.
Because S.O.N.G. is currently under investigation,
I will be issuing your combat directives as a representative of the investigation team.
Huh?
Who are you?!
Alca-Noise have been detected in sector 32.
SG-01 and SG-03', as the closest operatives to the location in question,
please proceed to engage and eliminate all targets.
Look!
You two get somewhere safe!
Okay.
Let's go, Elfnein-chan!
Miku!
We'll talk later.
Yeah. Be careful, Hibiki.
Let's go, Tachibana.
My blade shall shed the doubts that cloud it on the battlefield!
Right!
On long nights, when all I hear is the falling petals of time
I start to doubt myself
As water flows downhill, so does the life of men ebb away
helplessly into an uncaring oblivion
One
Thousand
Tears
Powerless to save them, my tears run dry
But even grief may be forged into a blade of judgment
Blow them away!
The end may be inevitable, but I raise my sword with hope while I can
SG-01 and SG-03', this is a warning.
You are to refrain from using any unauthorized weapons.
I will spill blood to keep the flame of life burning
Understood.
We can handle Alca-Noise without Saint-Germain and—
But how much longer will this carnage last?
Hold on.
HQ, please recheck the area.
Is there an answer?
Alca-Noise don't just run amok on their own!
Is there a light at the end?
No hostiles other than Alca-Noise have been detected in your area.
May my sword open a path to the future
SG-03', follow your orders and dispose of the Alca-Noise.
Tachibana! Do what HQ tells you until the evacuation is complete!
But...
Let's go!
SG-03'.
If you continue to ignore our orders,
your combat permit will be revoked and you will be taken into custody.
The investigation is off!
We have a court order.
There's no sign of the lead investigator!
He's a slippery one.
Assuming command of the battle!
Ame no Habakiri is directly assaulting the enemy's core!
A sword has a duty!
It provides strength to protect the weak!
I'll never let that tragedy happen again!
There you are,
you fiend!
What?
Tsubasa-san?
Tsubasa-san!
I will spill blood to keep the flame of life burning
But how much longer will this carnage last?
The heavens shall show me the answer and guide me
May my sword open a path to the future
Burning wrath Blade
Howl, my blade
Tsubasa, what's gotten into you?
Why?
Why isn't she picking up?!

They're making this a lot harder than it needs to be.
Oh no!
Elfnein-chan, are you okay?
So the klutz is Elfnein, huh?
You sure gave me the runaround.
I won't let you hurt my friend!
Don't, Miku-san!
I didn't think it'd be so easy to get you to leave HQ.
Why are you here?
My orders were only to secure Elfnein.
What'll I do with the other one? I can't make that decision on my own.
Vanessa?
Message for you, Millaarc.
Run, Elfnein-chan!
Miku-san , no!
Got it.
Sorry. It's nothing personal.
Elfnein-chan!
Miku-san, please run!
You can't even see scenes like this on TV anymore!
I might wet myself with delight!
Miku-san, run!
I feel you in my song
Forever
I know it's coming for me,
even if I can't see it when I turn around
I can't escape, am permitted no shred of dreams
The end is coming
Illusions fill me,
lead me towards grief,
and if I reach out, I grasp the empty air,
and my screams mean nothing
Hey
If I could go back
to those halcyon days
I would not let go of your hand
My broken words fill the air,
but you are not there,
no matter how much I run and scream,
and the morrow holds only death
I wander the Earth with no answers,
but the blessing I once had,
despite the ravages of time,
breathes inside this song,
and lives on
forevermore
