[reporter 1] This new footage shows
the massive damage inflicted on Hakata.
Large numbers of people
have already been reported missing.
[reporter 2] The prime minister
has declared Hakata to be a disaster area
and ordered the Ministry of Defense
to mobilize
in preparation for an imminent attack.
[woman 1] We're running out of time.
Let's eradicate those daemons now!
[woman 2] Eradicate daemons and restore
our beautiful Earth before it's too late.
[soldier] Let's go, let's go, let's go!
On my mark!
[soldier 2] Missiles aren't responding!
[soldier 3] We've lost all contact
with units three, six, and eleven.
[soldier 2] The target has started
moving toward the eastern sector.
[soldier 1] Behind me, behind me!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Go, go, go, go!
[dramatic music plays]
[restoration daemon] Humankind,
do you know how we daemons
originally came into existence?
The doorway to hell
was first opened at a nuclear test site.
The sand granules
contaminated in that blast became us.
[dramatic music continues]
[restoration daemon] We are
the sand granules contaminated in hell.
God sent us here to teach humankind
a lesson for becoming too arrogant.
You instinctively feared and rejected us
from the first moment of contact,
because you knew that, ultimately,
we would bring about an end to your world.
Now you have no option
but to beg and pray for mercy.
[tense music plays]
[man 1] Countries around the world
have made panicked calls
to the Japanese government.
[man 2] We've engaged the enemy, but our
weapons are useless against that daemon.
Can't the Peace Organization
do anything with its technologies?
We didn't expect it to be so resilient.
In the past, the US found success
in killing the daemon
with their arsenal of nuclear weapons.
We have no other choice ourselves now.
What?
[chairman] I'm sorry, General,
but it's the only way to save our country.
You need to make a decision
before it's too late.
[general groans]
I will advise the prime minister
that Japan will have to make sacrifices.
[Yagi] That daemon
is like a walking world war.
[Ando] There's no time to plot a strategy.
We need to get out of here
as soon as possible.
Anna. Anna!
You're awake!
I'm so relieved. Just take it easy, okay?
[groans] Ms. Kaede,
how did
What happened?
Where are we?
The restoration daemon, it accelerated
the growth of your daemonium particle,
and then it made it hatch.
Next thing we knew,
this daemon was born from you.
[daemon] Chumimeen.
Really? She came from me?
[chuckles] How adorable.
[daemon] Chumi?
Where's Mr. Kiriko?
[Kaede] He restored Pandaemonium,
and is now destroying Hakata.
We're in a line of vehicles
trying to evacuate the city.
[daemon] Chumi?
[car horns beep]
It's my fault, isn't it? It's terrible.
Because of me,
people are hurt and in danger.
It's not your fault, Kento.
- That daemon caused all of this.
- [Anna] Anna.
It's a done deal.
The Ministry of Defense
and the United States
are going to take out Pandaemonium
with nukes.
- Yagi, drive directly to the heliport.
- Got it!
[gasps] Is the government
going to sacrifice Hakata?
I'm afraid it may be
the only way to stop the daemon
before it causes
any more damage to the country.
Hey! We have to tell others to go
to the heliport so they can escape too!
Unfortunately, there are
no spare helicopters.
But that means
[Kokonoe] Anything living within
a 100 km. radius of Hakata will be gone.
[dramatic music plays]
[restoration daemon scoffs]
Humans appear to be escaping.
Does this mean they're going to depend
on nuclear power as they did before?
If they do so, this time,
Pandaemonium will strike first
and annihilate Japan.
[dramatic music continues]
[man 1] What's happening?
Why has it stopped?
[man 2] Wait a minute!
Maybe it's not going to attack after all.
It may be charging its energy
to produce more destructive rays.
Even more reason
why we should not change our plans.
Have we identified its target?
Ah.
- [man 1] Tokyo!
- [man 2] Tokyo!
There's no time left, General! You need to
launch the nuclear missiles immediately.
[car horns beep]
[tense music plays]
Mr. Yagi, pull the truck over.
We have to save them!
[Yagi] What? Don't make me laugh, kid.
There are nuclear missiles headed our way.
[dramatic music plays]
Anna, do something to support this bridge!
[Anna] Anna!
- [Kaede] Igisu!
- [Igisu] Igi!
Igi. Igi!
This way. Get off the bridge. Run!
[dramatic music continues]
[Kokonoe strains]
- [Kento gasps and winces]
- [daemon] Chumimeen?
[Kokonoe yells]
[woman whimpers]
Follow me. Hurry!
Are you injured?
[Ando gasps]
[tense music plays]
This is bad!
[daemon] Chumimeeeen!
[woman yells]
- Noooo!
- [daemon] Chumimeeeeeen!
[girl screams]
[woman screams]
[woman gasps]
- [Anna] Na.
- [Kento] Whoa.
[uplifting music plays]
[man] Whoa! I can't believe the daemons.
[uplifting music continues]
Wow. The daemons have saved us.
[daemon] Chumimeen.
[man] Let's go.
Mr. Kokonoe, I'm going back to Hakata now.
What? Absolutely not!
This Chumimin and I
might get through to Mr. Kiriko.
You have to trust me, Mr. Kokonoe.
Really. I promise we can save everyone!
[Kokonoe growls]
I can ask my grandfather to intervene.
To delay the launch as long as possible.
[Ito] Chairman.
[tense music plays]
[grunts]
Commander! Something's come up. I need you
to suspend the missile attack immediately!
Sorry, too late.
The entire operation is in motion.
Can't you try? Please. My granddaughter's
still in the target zone!
I wish that I could.
But this decision was your call.
It's the only way to save our country.
[dramatic music plays]
[Anna] Anna!
[daemon] Chumimeen.
[Kento] Mr. Kiriko.
Mr. Kiriko.
[restoration daemon] The voice in my head
Is it you, Kento?
[Kento] Mr. Kiriko, please don't do this.
[restoration daemon] I know what you want,
Kento, but I won't stop it.
This is what I must do.
[Kento] I promise
Anna and I will work as a team
to create a world where humans and daemons
can live together.
A world for everyone.
[restoration daemon] It's too late.
Daemons cannot trust humans.
There is no way
to heal the wounds we have suffered.
It's a simple decision.
If you and Anna are still
going to align yourselves with the humans,
I will kill you now.
[Yagi grunts]
[Kento whimpers]
Don't ever give up on hope. You can't.
[restoration daemon] I could
have spared you, Kento.
But now there will be no mercy.
[gentle music plays]
- [restoration daemon] Huh?
- [missiles drone]
[restoration daemon] Now you understand
the ugly truth
about the human species, don't you?
In order to survive any perceived threats,
they are willing to sacrifice other beings
without a second thought.
I will now turn humankind's
use of nuclear power into a door to hell.
Goodbye, Kento.
I have no option.
I don't want to lose anyone else.
All of you, leave this area right now.
And don't worry.
I'll have Anna store the nuclear missiles.
[chairman] I'm so sorry, Kaede. [sniffs]
It's my fault.
I didn't know what else to do.
[suspenseful music plays]
It's over. No one's escaping, sir.
I really do need to find
a better paying occupation.
[Kokonoe laughs]
[Kento chuckles]
[gentle music plays]
It's possible that today is going to be
the end of my journey with you.
I want to thank you, Anna.
You've given me so many happy memories
in the time we've spent together.
- Anna.
- [daemon] Chumi.
It seems so unbelievable,
but everyone's still here.
They didn't abandon us.
[daemon] Chumi.
You feel it? We're just like a family.,
[Anna whimpers]
[daemon] Chumimeen.
[gentle music continues]
[daemon] Chumeeeee!
[all gasp]
[daemon] Chumimeen.
[uplifting music plays]
This is amazing!
[dramatic music plays]
[music stops]
Wait! What happened?
[general] Where's the daemon?
[woman hums]
[yawns]
[mom continues humming]
[mom] Kento, the yakisoba
with pickled eggplants is ready.
[Kento] Yahoo!
[chuckles] I appreciate your appreciation,
but slow down and enjoy your food.
[Kento] All right, I will.
It's just that I was right in the middle
of a very long dream before I woke up.
It was about me and a daemon,
and we were traveling together.
- A daemon?
- [chuckles] Yeah.
She was very cute too.
She had the ability to store things.
She couldn't store
living creatures at first,
but as time went on,
her powers evolved more and more.
Her name was
Anna.
Hm.
[Kento sniffles]
[Kento cries]
[mom] You did a great job. There, there.
It must have been hard
to travel so far away.
[Kento cries]
I missed you so much!
[mom] Here I thought
you were still a little boy,
but you've grown so strong.
I am more proud of you
than you can imagine.
[Kento sobs]
I wanted to bring you back to life
more than anything!
I just wanted you back, Mom. [sobs]
It's all right.
I knew the day would come
when I'd have to say one last goodbye.
It's just that that day
came earlier than I thought.
Reviving dead people goes against nature.
We shouldn't do it,
even if we have the power.
People are meant to grow older and enjoy
the different seasons of their lives.
I'm sorry. I just wanted
to spend more time with you. [sobs]
[melancholy music plays]
[mom] Kento, I'll always be with you,
Right there, inside your heart.
[melancholy music continues]
I love you.
I'll always love you.
I love you too, Kento.
I couldn't have asked for more.
[melancholy music continues]
Goodbye.
[melancholy music continues]
[music fades]
[restoration daemon] Kento,
you think you're safe
because we're in the storage space
inside Anna?
How are you Why?
[restoration daemon screams]
[restoration daemon groans]
[restoration daemon] My powers
have been restricted.
It seems I'm unable to hurt you
in this place.
Mr. Kiriko, please stop fighting.
Listen to me.
I promise you,
I'll create a world where daemons
and humans get along together.
[restoration daemon] How naive.
There is no way you can make that happen.
It's obvious you've already given up.
But I believe, if we try hard enough,
we can change the world.
[restoration daemon] I see.
You have the innocence of youth
on your side,
and the wide-eyed hopefulness
that comes with it.
I'll give you this win.
I'll even bet on your success.
But if you fail, I'll be back.
You can count on it.
[gentle music plays]
[restoration daemon] I have one favor
to ask of you.
I want you to take his memento home.
When you have the chance,
bury it somewhere.

- What happened?
- [daemon] Chumi.
- Kento!
- [daemon] Chumeen.
- [Igisu] Igi!
[daemon] Chumi, chu-chu, chumi!
Anna brought me here.
I'm glad everyone's all right.
She's gonna get you back home now.
[gasps]
[Kaede] Isn't that
Wait!
[Kento] Come on, Anna. We'll go together.
Anna?
[melancholy music plays]
Why aren't you
Anna!
Anna!
Aren't you coming with us? Anna!
Anna!
Kento.
Where is she?
Anna!
[gentle music plays]
STUDENT ID
NAME: KIRIKO NANBU
[chairman] Kaede, think carefully.
Are you sure
you saw Seori Island inside Anna?
Yes. I guess the storage daemons
actually share the same storage space.
They don't have their own.
That means that if Anna
cooperates with us,
we have a very good chance
of being able to salvage the island.
I hope that can happen.
It would mean
that we could save my mother too.
Hm, I see.
For a long time, I tried to kill daemons
out of a hatred that consumed me.
But the truth is, I should have tried
to find a way to work with them instead.
It will be the younger generation,
like you and your contemporaries,
who will ultimately fulfill
the promise of the Peace Organization.
[gentle music continues]
[Kento] So many interesting
and exciting things happened
during my travels with Anna.
[gentle music continues]
[Kento] We met lots of different
kinds of daemons and people.
Some of them we got along with.
And some of them, we didn't.
[gentle music continues]
[Kento] But after living
through all of that,
I've learned that the scariest
thing in the world
has nothing to do with people or daemons.
The scariest thing
is the darkness in our own hearts,
and how it erases
the beauty in everything.
SACRED ORDER OF EARTH PRESERVATION
[Kento] All of us here
have been through a terrible experience.
But that's in the past.
Now we need to come together
and focus on the future.
I want to eliminate
the hatred between people and daemons.
Because you have to remove that darkness
before you can see
the beauty all around us.
I'm Kento Tachibana.
Thanks very much.
[gentle music continues]
[reporters] Kento! Kento!
[reporters speak at the same time]
[reporter 1] Right here. Thank you. Yes.
- [reporter 2] What exactly did you do?
- [reporter 3] What happened exactly?
[Kento grunts]
[Kento exhales]
TACHIBANA FAMILY GRAVE
[Kento] Mom
I guess I'm not strong as you said I was.
You thought I would be
just fine on my own,
but some days, I feel so lonely.
I miss you so much, Mom.
And I don't think
I'll ever stop missing you, or Anna.
[Anna] Anna!
[Kento gasps]

[melancholy music plays]
Why aren't you
Anna!
Anna!
Aren't you coming with us? Anna!
Anna!
Kento.
Where is she?
Anna!

STUDENT ID
NAME: KIRIKO NANBU
[chairman] Kaede, think carefully.
Are you sure
you saw Seori Island inside Anna?
Yes. I guess the storage daemons
actually share the same storage space.
They don't have their own.
That means that if Anna
cooperates with us,
we have a very good chance
of being able to salvage the island.
I hope that can happen.
It would mean
that we could save my mother too.
Hm, I see.
For a long time, I tried to kill daemons
out of a hatred that consumed me.
But the truth is, I should have tried
to find a way to work with them instead.
It will be the younger generation,
like you and your contemporaries,
who will ultimately fulfill
the promise of the Peace Organization.
[gentle music continues]
[Kento] So many interesting
and exciting things happened
during my travels with Anna.
[gentle music continues]
[Kento] We met lots of different
kinds of daemons and people.
Some of them we got along with.
And some of them, we didn't.
[gentle music continues]
[Kento] But after living
through all of that,
I've learned that the scariest
thing in the world
has nothing to do with people or daemons.
The scariest thing
is the darkness in our own hearts,
and how it erases
the beauty in everything.
SACRED ORDER OF EARTH PRESERVATION
[Kento] All of us here
have been through a terrible experience.
But that's in the past.
Now we need to come together
and focus on the future.
I want to eliminate
the hatred between people and daemons.
Because you have to remove that darkness
before you can see
the beauty all around us.
I'm Kento Tachibana.
Thanks very much.
[gentle music continues]
[reporters] Kento! Kento!
[reporters speak at the same time]
[reporter 1] Right here. Thank you. Yes.
- [reporter 2] What exactly did you do?
- [reporter 3] What happened exactly?
[Kento grunts]

TACHIBANA FAMILY GRAVE
[Kento] Mom
I guess I'm not strong as you said I was.
You thought I would be
just fine on my own,
but some days, I feel so lonely.
I miss you so much, Mom.
And I don't think
I'll ever stop missing you, or Anna.
[Anna] Anna!
[Kento gasps]
[Kento] Huh.
[gentle music plays]
[chuckles]
[sighs happily]
