Samurai Commando Mission 1549 (Sengoku jieitai 1549)

In commemoration of the 60th year anniversary of Kadokawa Group

Ground Self Defense Force East Fuji Station

Begin experiment. Activate shields.

Emergency. The plasma level has exceeding the upper limit.

Let's not push it, Kanzaki. We can postpone it, right?

No, let's proceed. Power output to the max.

What's that?

A blast!

This is the experiment site reporting.

There's been an emergency.

Special Experiment Division's third company has disappeared!

All stand by. Do not leave your posts.

All stand by, roger.

All systems down except the radio.

Headquarters isn't responding.

Continue communication.

Roger.

Kurebayashi, get the working as soon as possible.

Roger.

Where on earth?

What's going on here?

Sgt. Morita!

Sgt. Morita!

Enemy attacking. - What?

Advance, forward!

Colonel, permission to fire.

No firing permitted. All stand by.

TIME SLIP 1549 Sengoku Jieitai

Mt. Fuji Observatory reports that the hat like cloud continues...

to hover at the top of the mountain since the summer...

keeping the apex invisible for the record length of 90 days straight.

Good night.

Goodbye. - Later.

Sir, you can't hope to work in the main office again with this score.

They might even send you to the warehouse.

I might actually like that better than this.

We've got to cut down on the costs.

Let's fire the part timers. Please tell them.

Me?

Who else? You're the manager.

That's not my cup of tea.

Well, I'm going home now. Goodbye.

See you.

Sorry, we're closed.

We're from the Ministry of Health.

Manager.

Are you in charge of the premise?

Yes.

I'm Kashima, the manager here.

We were notified of a case of food poisoning.

The person says he had eaten here earlier.

It's all right. Don't worry. Bye.

Goodbye.

This is a late night visit.

Yusuke Kashima, former First Lieutenant, I believe?

I'm Major Mori, Ground Self Defense Force Eastern Army.

I'm Mie Kanzaki, Army Research Headquarters.

I sure am a civil servant.

So?

Do you remember Col. Matoba?

He died in an accident during exercise.

That was 2 years ago.

Officially, that is.

What do you mean?

Do you know what Solar Maximum is?

What on earth is that?

The sun's activity becomes prominent in 11-year cycles.

The plasma emitted at that time affects our electronic devices.

The phenomenon is called Solar Maximum.

It can be fatal if it happens during a military exercise.

That's why we decided to develop a system that prevents such interference...

by creating a magnetic shield and redirecting the plasma.

Special Experiment Division's third company led by Col. Matoba...

was participating in the experiment.

Hey, what the heck is this?

As you saw it.

But Col. Matoba and his company aren't dead.

They're alive.

What do you mean?

They were blown away.

Blown away?

We found the vegetation and soil to be from 500 years ago.

500 years ago?

Then, three days later...

It's back to normal, I see.

Please have a close look.

Further investigation revealed he was a man from the past.

From the past?

From the year 1547...

The height of a Warring States era.

The area the third company was on was switch with the same area from the past.

That's why we know they're alive.

We suspect they're in the era this samurai comes from.

Operation Romeo?

We'll rescue the third company.

That's dandy but how on earth can we get there?

We'll time slip like they did.

Time Slip?

A satellite detected an abnormal activity level on the sun three days ago.

We expect the same level of plasma emission as when the accident happened.

With that, theoretically, we should be able to travel to the same time period they did.

We want you to participate in the experiment as an observer.

On such a short notice? You didn't even ask if it's convenient for me.

We had submitted your name a while ago.

But the executives were careful about getting an outsider involved.

We just got permission after a long wait.

Why do you want me now?

You're the only official who's ever been able to control...

the situation in the simulation exercise D-3 that Col. Matoba created.

We need your help in order to locate Col. Matoba's company swiftly.

I'm not as capable as you think I am.

You were a member of the F Unit that Col. Matoba created, second in rank after him.

The F Unit was a special squad that would even engage...

in a preemptive strike if it's called for.

You left Self Defense Force when the Unit was dissolved.

Col. Matoba's company disappeared in this place 2 years ago.

We've waited so long for the opportunity to rescue to arrive.

We can't afford to let it pass.

Say you succeed in rescuing them, how are you planning to return?

The field that got switched around returned to normal...

in exactly 74 hours and 27 minutes after the incident.

We should be able to return to the present...

if we get back to the same field within the time period.

It's all a hypothesis.

When it happened...

I had the power to stop the experiment if I wanted.

Had I only stopped it...

it would've never happened.

It's my fault Col. Matoba was time slipped.

So, I've got to go get him.

I beg you.

I need to get home before noon.

What?

I need to open the restaurant.

Look.

What's that?

Some call it an Imaginary Number Space.

We simply call it the Hole.

The Hole?

A hole that devours anything of this world, be it light or matter.

It was a size of a golf ball when it was first discovered.

It keeps on growing, so, we built a military base here...

in order to hide it from the world.

This isn't the only place.

There are Holes appearing in various locations in Japan.

Like a worm eating away at it.

It all started when Col. Matoba's company disappeared.

The past is attacking us.

The past is attacking?

History's being distorted by Col. Matoba's company's existence in the past.

It's forcing our world out of existence.

Just as if you killed your parent before you were born, you can't exist today.

I believe history is able to integrate a minor infliction and repair itself.

Otherwise, we would have disappeared instantly as soon as...

Col. Matoba and his men arrived in the past.

But now suddenly it's threatening to eliminate us.

We suspect Col. Matoba and his men are meddling with history in a major way.

If we let it, Japan...

...as well as the world itself will be swallowed in the Holes...

and disappear.

The only way for us to survive it is to get them back here.

Which one is it?

Are you going 'cause you want to save Matoba...

or 'cause the world will disappear if you don't?

Which one is it?

You don't make any sense.

I came here 'cause you said you wanted to save Mr. Matoba.

And now you're saying the past is attacking us and what not.

Don't change your stories.

We're facing the possible end of the world.

It's no time to make a fuss over it!

Sure, it is.

I wish the world would disappear.

It's time. Take me home.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Here we go! Here we go!

We've got 2 km to go! Proceed!

Proceed!

Salute.

Attention.

F Unit is dissolved as of today.

We'll join Special Experiment Division's third company.

Why are we dissolved?

It's the executives' decision. They feel the time isn't ripe.

I'm sorry.

So are we going to accept it?

Col. Matoba?

Kashima!

Are you guys going to accept this? - Shut up!

Are you now?

Chicken kabobs.

You...

Are you bored as a samurai who abandoned his sword?

What do you want?

It's my honor.
