Deca-Dence (2020): Season 1, Episode 4 - Transmission - full transcript
Natsume heads into battle in an attempt to save Pipe, and the Tankers take notice. A potential for career advancement brings Kaburagi to a crossroads as a new event looms for Deca-dence.
Pipe!
Pipe!
Pipe, where are you?
Hey!
Boss.
I'm so sorry. It's my fault Pipe is...
The fight will spread here in no time.
Get back to Deca-dence now.
But I... want to save Pipe, too.
You aren't ready yet.
Hey, I'm trained, too!
Pipe, where are you?
Pipe!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeehaw!
Over in a flash again, my dude!
Right? Let's keep...
My dude!
Calm down. Take deep breaths.
When you're panicked,
control yourself with breathing.
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
Thank you, Boss.
I see it!
Dammit! We're getting nowhere!
We're taking down as many as we can!
Look over there.
That's a Tanker, right?
Damn!
Pipe!
Pipe!
Thank goodness you're okay!
Are you happy, too, Pipe?
What was that?
Wh-What was that?
Stay in here.
...Shit! ...It's too much.
Watch out!
It's heading for Deca-dence! After it!
"Mindy" Take this!
"Mendy" Sis is crushing it!
"Mundy" Did we get 'em all?
What's that?
Commander, look!
All units back off! Get back!
What is that thing?
Now! Fire!
...It's no use!
...It's too tough.
Get in close!
Hey!
Why you...
Now!
These are some twig legs you got!
Lemme see your ugly mug!
Say goodnight!
That's Kurenai for you!
Incredible!
The strongest Tanker...
That was some nice work back there.
What? Um... I...
I did what I could to help!
Um... It was an honor to f-f-fight
alongside you, Kurenai, ma'am.
My name is Natsume!
I don't recognize you.
What's your unit?
Oh, uh... actually I'm not in The Power...
How come?
Well, I'm a bug...
A "bug"?
I'm told it means I'm weak like an insect.
...Hey, stay still.
...That's wild.
Who said that about you?
If you're an insect,
Sou and Ryoku are boogers.
Natsume,
fight with us as part of The Power.
I... b-but...
We won't turn away someone
who possess the will to fight.
Welcome to The Power.
...Hooray! ...Glad to have ya!
We got your back!
...You're in...Thanks!
Boss!
I did it!
It's all thanks to you! Thank you so much!
Just don't die.
Yeah,
this "Boss" person is right. If you die...
Kabu?!
Sir, wh-wh-what brings you here?
..."Kabu"? "Sir"?
...H-Have you returned to active duty?
...She hasn't changed.
...I can hardly believe it.
Oh,
to get to meet on the battlefield again!
We're changing course.
Deca-dence, full speed ahead!
Our destination is the Gadoll nest!
"New Event Beginning"
"A snow battle in freezing cold."
"The largest battle"
"in Deca-dence history."
"Gadoll Den Great Hunt"
"Clear the Nest"
"Freezing Cold Snow Battle"
The next event is gonna be tight!
I hear it used to be called "Mt. Everest."
What's cold feel like?
I'm, like, super excited.
Three days ago, a Gear scouting party
finally located the Gadoll nest.
This operation has one objective:
"Nest"
suppression of the Gadoll lair,
known as the nest.
"The Power Briefing Room"
The nest is located near
the summit of this mountain,
but it's shrouded in dense fog,
and visibility is poor.
As a result, the operation will be
conducted entirely with ground troops.
According to the Gear scouts,
there appears to be a Gadoll
emitting the dense fog.
First priority is to eliminate it.
So squad 6 will be assigned
to cooperate with Gear squads
to eliminate the target, Gadoll alpha.
The target is located here, at the
5,500 meter point in the split in the rock.
"Squad 6" "Gadoll alpha"
The target is located here, at the
5,500 meter point in the split in the rock.
"Squad 6" "Gadoll alpha"
Naturally this is at high elevation,
"Squad 6" "Gadoll alpha"
so you'll lose stamina quickly.
You must act expeditiously.
...Roger! ...In addition...
May I continue?
Oh... um... I...
Sorry.
Okay,
that's enough. Let's resume the briefing.
Now then, main squadrons
one through five will...
What? To the warrior department?
Yeah. Your battle the other day
has been getting recognition.
Here, take a look.
"Who is this guy? Mind blown" "Crazy strong!!!" "He was the best
player in the Dynamo Wasteland battle." "A whole other level!!!"
"Who is this guy? Mind blown" "Crazy strong!!!" "He was the best player
in the Dynamo Wasteland battle." "A whole other level!!!" This...
"Who is this guy? Mind blown" "Crazy strong!!!" "He was the best player in the Dynamo
Wasteland battle." "A whole other level!!!" Brings back your ranker days, right?
I see.
But I...
You've atoned plenty,
toiling at that dirty job.
The maintenance
department already has notice.
Come back.
But the ranker program
was ended. What can I do?
This doesn't leave this room.
The next event is impossible to clear.
What?
Defeating Gadoll alpha should be
impossible, even for S-class Gears.
In other words, the fog will not lift.
The vast majority of Gears will be killed,
and Deca-dence will be placed
in the grip of despair.
In the hour of need,
legendary heroes will return.
That's the story line.
Basically,
you were chosen as one of them, see?
Still,
it's no different from being a ranker.
So then, those who participate
in the next event...
A-class and under will be decimated.
Users react better to extremes, supposedly.
Hey, Kabu, are you listening?
Oh, yeah, I see.
Listen, I'm happy I'll get to
work with you again.
Now you get the situation.
Keep your head down
until the next event ends!
Yeah.
"Main Squads 1-5" "Squad 6"
"Exterminate Nest" "Eliminate Gadoll Alpha"
"Main Squads 1-5" "Squad 6"
"Exterminate Nest" "Eliminate Gadoll Alpha"
This operation will undoubtedly
be the biggest fight in history.
"Main Squads 1-5" "Squad 6"
"Exterminate Nest" "Eliminate Gadoll Alpha"
Bear that in mind.
"Main Squads 1-5" "Squad 6"
"Exterminate Nest" "Eliminate Gadoll Alpha"
Yes, ma'am!
Operation begins at four a.m. tomorrow.
That is all. Dismissed!
This is Natsume.
Mindy, Mundy, and Mendy.
They're triplets and the
youngest soldiers after you.
She'll be in squad 6 with you,
so look after her.
Yes, ma'am!
Okay. I leave her to you.
That's the situation.
I know you can move pretty well,
but on the battlefield teamwork is vital.
Solitary action is to be avoided.
Yes, ma'am! I'll take that to heart.
Now, welcome to the squad.
Thank you very...
I'm sorry! I'm still not used to it...
An unfamiliar weapon is totally useless
on the battlefield!
Hey, Sis...
What are you doing?
Get serious or you'll just
wind up dead! You hear me?!
Hey!
Wait, what's wrong?
You overreacted.
Fei!
Natsume.
Don't be long.
It's been a while, Fei. How've you been?
Hey, I was thinking we should
catch up some time.
How about it?
Sorry. I'm busy.
Fei, wait!
What's wrong?
Nothing.
You won't listen no matter
what I say anyway, right?
I just can't do this with you anymore.
...Fe...Fei!
We're waiting for you!
Sorry!
Boss! You're at my door!
What brings you here?
Oh, please come in.
Sorry it's messy and cramped.
I was actually about to come see you.
Look, milk!
I thought we could share it with Pipe.
It's the final battle after all.
So you're participating.
Oh, are you gonna fight, too, Boss?
For real? Awesome!
Having you is like
having a million soldiers!
Natsume,
you've done well.
Even a Gear would struggle to learn
to fight so well in such a short time.
Th-Thank you very much.
But, look, this operation is different.
You aren't ready yet.
Don't worry! I'll follow
all your teachings!
Stay home.
But you were supporting me!
Once the operation succeeds,
the world will have peace!
It won't succeed,
and peace will never come.
What's wrong, Boss? You seem strange.
The fight won't end, now or ever.
What do you mean?
They found the Gadoll nest!
You just aren't aware. This nest business
has happened many times.
To begin with, there is no nest.
What's going on?
Why are you telling lies?
It's the truth.
But they said they found it!
How long do you think
this fight has been going on?
Hundreds of years!
Yeah, and I trained in order to end it...
That's not what I mean!
This world is manu...
No one can change it.
No.
I refuse to give up.
You'll just wind up dead.
I'm begging you. Please stay hom...
No!
Why don't you get it?
I don't want you to die!
No! I'll never give up!
I decide how to live my life!
Give up on this mission.
It has to be this way.
To world peace!
Cheers!
Feels great every time we say it,
doesn't it?
But we've done it at least 30 times!
Never mind the details!
Come on! Cheers! Cheers!
Cheers!
Kurenai.
Hey. Enjoying yourself?
Uh, yeah. I'm stuffed.
Doesn't look like it.
Come to pull out of the mission?
Did you decide for yourself?
Yes.
I see.
Then that's fine, right?
But you should go wash your face.
Hey, um...
Um... have you ever thought
about quitting? The fight I mean.
Oh, more than a million times!
What? Then why...
So I can be a woman fit for
Kabu's greatness. Obviously.
Well, I'll be going now.
Why did you decide to fight?
Armor repair is a form of fighting,
too, right?
Natsume, what was your reason
for risking your life?
I...
When I'm shut inside this thing,
sometimes I feel
like I'll forget I'm alive.
Is that why you go outside and fight?
To just live aimlessly in this cramped,
dirty place... I can't bear to do that.
Whatcha lookin' at?
Come here, Natsume.
This is a city humans lived in long,
long ago.
Ooh. Amazing!
This is a part of what was
once a mobile fortress.
An old Deca-dence?
That's right.
What about that?
A waterfall.
Mountain rain flows down and falls.
Whoa.
Pretty!
This has become a daily routine, huh.
Yeah!
Natsume, when the world is at peace, we'll
be able to live outside on the surface.
Really?
Yeah. We can live wherever we'd like.
That's one of the freedoms
humanity originally had.
Then I'll become a soldier!
Then I'll end the fight!
Isn't that great?
Are you okay, Natsume?
She's done it again.
You're in the way. Get lost.
As a soldier, you'd be dead weight
with that arm, anyway.
Isn't this for the best?
Give up on being a soldier
and accept a different position.
Tankers should stay inside Deca-dence.
How could you fight with that arm...
No one can change it.
It's always like this.
Just how long are you gonna eat?
What's the big deal?
This is our final supper.
What I wanted wasn't to change the world.
What I really wanted was to change myself!
I don't like the way I am right now.
I want self-confidence.
That is... um...
That's my reason for fighting!
My last meat!
We're moving out soon. You're coming,
right?
Yes, ma'am!
Oh, but first...
Could I borrow some money?
The event will begin in 15 minutes.
All staff please report to your
designated stations immediately.
What?
...Repeat...She's going?
...The event will begin in 15 minutes.
...That idiot!
Listen up, everyone.
This is the last fight.
Whatever the mission takes, do it.
Got that?
Yes, sir!
Move out!
Pipe!
Pipe, where are you?
Hey!
Boss.
I'm so sorry. It's my fault Pipe is...
The fight will spread here in no time.
Get back to Deca-dence now.
But I... want to save Pipe, too.
You aren't ready yet.
Hey, I'm trained, too!
