Deca-Dence (2020): Season 1, Episode 5 - Differential Gear - full transcript

Natsume heads into battle with squad 6 to defeat Gadoll alpha. Kaburagi is forced to confront a decision he thought he had avoided. Will Natsume survive Solid Quake's drastic event?

Listen up, squad 6. Our mission is to
lift the fog by eliminating Gadoll alpha.

Air pressure will be low.
You'll lose stamina quickly.

Be prepared to
act expeditiously!

This is the last fight!

Whatever the mission takes,
do it.

Got that?

Yes, sir!

That idiot!

Move out!

Take this!

Hand me a weapon!



Heal!

Ignore them!

Advance!

Gadoll alpha is at ten o'clock!

I can't see far at all.

Kurenai!

Here I go!

Did you come to have fun?

What? No, I didn't.

Then get serious.

This is battle.

Sorry.

Think only about winning.

Yes, ma'am.



Hey, hey, hey, hey!

You get to be killed
by the great Dotkin!

Be thankful!

My word.

How barbaric, as usual.

You lack elegance.

Now's my chance.

He's all mine!

What the hell, asshole!

Kill-stealing bastard!

...Dumbass...Even in this fog,
they're still dominating!

That's S rankers for you.

Small fry.

What's happening
with Gadoll alpha?

Everybody's damned dead!

But that mission was rank C.

Odd.

It's quiet.

Is Gadoll alpha really here?

Maybe the Gears have
already defeated it?

Then we could head to
the nest in high spirits.

What?

The Gears...

Oh no...

Gadoll alpha spotted!

Let's go!

Carry out the mission!

Charge!

What?!

Gomez!

You bastard!

What?

Wait, don't tell me it's...

It's aiming for our tanks!

Withdraw, you two!

But Sis!

Just go! Now!

Natsume!

Why you!

Natsume!

Sis!

Wh-Why?

You okay?

...Oh no.... Sis! Hold on!

I was sick and tired of it...

Of seeing kids
charge in and die.

I-I...

You feel responsible?

Don't.

This was...

...the strength...

...of my resolve.

This is bad. At this rate...

...we'll be wiped out.

H-Hey!

What are you doing?

You bastard!

Incredible.

The needle...

It pulled it out?!

Wh-What is this thing?

I told you, didn't I?

You aren't ready yet.

B-B-Boss?!

"1 Hour Earlier"

The event will
begin in 15 minutes.

...All staff please report to your
designated stations immediately.

...What?! She's going? ...All staff please
report to your designated stations immediately.

...That idiot! ...The event
will begin in 15 minutes.

All staff...

Minato.

About that fog Gadoll.

It can't be stopped without
the system knowing, right?

What are you talking
about? Of course not.

That's what I thought.
Sorry to bother you.

Why are you dressed like that?
Didn't I tell you to keep your head down?

I'm rusty. I just
want to warm up.

"Minato" I'm rusty. I
just want to warm up.

"Minato" The users will like it.

"Minato" What? Hey!

B-B-Boss?!

I told you, didn't I?

You aren't ready yet.

I-I was off my game from the
shock of having my tank broken.

I see. Sorry about that.

What is this?

I can't see a thing!

Come on!

Hey wait. Boss!

Where are we going? My
squad mates are back there.

Leave them. I can't
beat that Gadoll.

What?

Even you can't...

All the more reason
they need our help!

Doing that would be
like committing suicide.

B-But!

Give up.

I swore to myself...

...that I'd push myself to
the very edge of my limits!

I want to push
myself to my limits!

To your limits...

I'd long since
forgotten such things.

That thing can see in this fog?!

Dammit. Where is it?

I'm so sorry.

Reinforcements are
coming. You have to run.

Commander...

She's the decoy, blockhead!

Get going!

Everyone, let's get out of here.

Natsume, how...?

I'll explain later! Hurry!

Kabu,
what are you doing? Don't fight that thing!

Sorry, but my plan broke down.

I can't just let
them die anymore.

What?!

Don't tell me you
mean those Tankers!

If I run, she'll die!

Are you insane?

Run! The Gadoll won't chase you!

There's still time.

Are you willing to lose your
chance to return for a mere Tanker?

She's a bug.

Still, she fought against the world,
survived, and grabbed what she wanted...

...unlike me!

Your limiter?!

Stop, Kabu!

If you kill that Gadoll,
you'll affect the storyline!

Kabu! There'll be
no turning back!

I can't let her die!

I can't!

"Operational Limit
Near" That bug...

That bug...

Stop!

...saved me!

Over here.

C-Commander!

Gadoll alpha's
life signs vanished!

...Fog output has ceased!
...You damned idiot.

Air pressure control lost.
It's returning to normal levels!

Oh hell! It's going to attack!

The fog's not lifting a bit.

We're making no progress here.

There's no choice.
We'll have to...

It's lifting?

That's the nest?

They completed their mission!

They did it!

All right.

Everyone who can fight, with me!

To the nest!

What is this?

What's happening?

What is this cry?

Hey, hey,
hey. You've gotta be kidding.

Finally time for the big one,
huh.

Everyone, take cover!

...What is that? ...Run!

What is that?

It's huge!

Hugely gross!

Is that the Gadoll's big boss?

Oh no!

What happened?

Oh...

"Solid Quake" "Control Room"

"Sully" This is bad!
This is bad! This is bad!

"Sully" What do we do?
That's still in development!

"Sonny" Shut up! I can't
concentrate when you lose your cool!

"Let's do this!" "Crap" "Looks half-assed" "A large-sized battle!"
"Here's the boss!" Shut up! I can't concentrate when you lose your cool!

"Let's do this!" "Crap" "Looks half-assed" "A large-sized battle!"
"Here's the boss!" Hey, withdraw the stargate immediately!

Whoa, whoa. Not possible!

Both the players and
the Tankers have seen it.

"Kinda cute?" "Save us, Deca-dence!" "Blech" "Super scary"
"What?!" "This is it" Plus, the idiots are going wild over it!

"Kinda cute?" "Save us, Deca-dence!" "Blech" "Super
scary" "What?!" "This is it" You handle it on your end!

You handle it on your end!

Hey!

Activate Deca-dence!

Yes, sir! But the oxyone
shortage will slow the process.

Just hurry!

Fire blood-sucking harpoons!

The stargate set up its zone!

Beginning oxyone transfer!

Only at 42% capacity.

Attention all warriors!

Your target is the
large-size Gadoll stargate!

Buy enough time for us
to complete Intercept Form.

Mission rank S.

"Commander Minato" "A stargate has appeared! Buy
time to complete intercept form!" Mission rank S.

"Commander Minato" "A stargate has appeared! Buy time
to complete intercept form!" I'm counting on you!

You're unusually worked up.

Aren't ya, Minato?

Here we go!

It's party time!

Let's end this here!

Here we go!

So this is the consequence
of changing the storyline.

Boss, wait for me!

Yes. It seems Gadoll alpha was
taken out by a recovery agent.

Of course. We shall have
him accept punishment.

How do you like this?

What is that?

It reeks!

High-density oxyone energy
signature coming from the stargate!

What was that?

It's firing by applying tremendous
pressure to the oxyone in its body!

A direct hit from that
would mean the end for us.

What power.

What was that?

That attack severed
the oxyone cables!

Oxyone at 66% capacity!

Should we request an
emergency Gadoll shut down?

It's no use. There's
not enough time.

It must be unfinished.

Run!

If I destroy that part...

Hey, you there.

That's a nice weapon.

What's your problem, dude?

Hand it over.

Boss?

Thief!

Connecting nerve cables!

Connection complete!

Deca-dence Intercept
Form complete!

Deca-dence full speed ahead!

Get in firing range!

Take it down in one shot.

Sir!

Ignite the Deca-dence Canon!

Yes, sir!

Detecting the high-density
energy signature again!

What?!

It's too soon! The
canon won't ignite in time!

Here it comes!

Run!

Dammit!

Kabu.

Deca-dence fully anchored.

It's within range!

Deca-dence Canon ignited!

Its face...

Grotesque monster.

Return fire!

Yes, sir!

It's beautiful.

Boss? What's with the grim look?

Be quiet.

"Minato"

"Minato" Hey, Kabu,
you really did it this time.

"Minato" Sorry.
What will happen?

I have no idea. You twisted the story,
after all. But...

So I won't get off scot-free.

I'm prepared.

Hey, are those...

Are you kidding?

There's another stage.

This should provide
some challenge.

Oh my. For once we agree.

Wh-What's going on?

Weren't the Gadoll
just wiped out?

I-It can't be!

It won't succeed,
and peace will never come.

The fight won't end,
now or ever.

Boss, did you...

...know this would...

Take care of Pipe.

Boss?

Good morning, Kaburagi.

I trust you know
why we are here.

Yeah.

Repeat after me.

The world must be rid of bugs.

The world...

...needs bugs.
