Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall (ブラック★★ロックシューター DAWN FALL)

Enemy? Bad guys?

"Bad" is an understatement. The Educational Institution is a cult.

They massacre while claiming to educate the ignorant masses. They're insane.

It seems they already found out about you, Empress.

It's too soon.

Should we fight or flee? Of course, we should flee...

Oh, geez! Hey, wake up!

Educational Institution. Empress went to fight them.

We have to go too.

No way! Why?

We don't have a choice. Just drive and go after her.

Yes, sir!

Damn it!

Please spare me…

Yee-haw!

What is this?

Please help...

Night Battle Mode. Terrain-following radar by an infrared laser.

We'll automatically avoid obstacles.

Shut up and concentrate!

Take that!

What? They're running away.

We did it somehow.

Episode 3: "Master Sniper"

We weren't the ones they were after.

Hey, we don't have time to waste here.

What about her?

We'll take her to the nearest town. We can't do more than that.

Please…

Please help. Not just me, but everyone.

Please help…

all of them.

It's free gauge train rails.

Now they're used exclusively for military cargo

by the Educational Institution and Artemis.

No sane person would come near here.

An Educational Institution train will pass by here soon.

My friends are being transported on it.

We were all orphans from the slums.

We came under the protection of the Institution

to hold rituals as priestesses.

They told us they would feed and pay us

if we only do those rituals…

Hey, hey ho.

Hey, hey ho. Done.

Excuse me.

What is it?

Our Human Resources Unit reports that one of the sacrificial girls has escaped.

The rest of them will soon depart on the armored train.

One girl is missing?

We're tracking her. We won't lose her.

Why do you think I require sacrifices?

I was the one chosen by the Moon Goddess.

Finding a girl befitting one such as me is very difficult.

That won't stop me from trying.

It is all for the human race.

Yes, sir!

We educate the ignorant masses.

That's why we're the Educational Institution,

the only organization which takes the progress of humankind seriously.

Anything that interferes with that education

must be eliminated through the use of force.

Summon all forces around the railway and recapture the girl.

And if recapture is not possible… you know what to do.

300 kilometers east of here

there is a facility where the girls are confined by the Institution.

So you ran away from there?

Not on foot, clearly?

I drove a car part of the way.

But I'm not good at driving.

I crashed the car.

You're asking us to rescue some girls who are being transported from

one Educational Institution facility to another? That's crazy.

But I…

Everybody duck!

What the hell?

Snipers!

I won't let you escape again.

This is how I express my love, Empress.

Black Rock Shooter.

I counted to three from the bullet impact.

I would say it's probably from about one kilometer away.

How do you know?

High-caliber rifle bullets are faster than the speed of sound.

So there's a gap between the impact--

That calculation is wrong.

How is it wrong?

The speed of the bullet at impact was over five times the speed of sound.

Due to insufficient data, the enemy's exact position can't be fixed.

But it's clear they're over five kilometers away.

Five kilometers? So that can't be an ordinary firearm.

Monica.

Yes, sir?

Stand up for a minute.

What? Is there a good reason I should?

Let them shoot once more to determine the number of snipers.

I'm not doing that. I'm not getting up. I don't want to die.

Oh, all right.

Here we go!

Looks like we lost them.

There's enough cover here. They shouldn't be able to get us easily.

Long-range snipers aren't standard for the Unmanned Forces.

Could it be the Educational Institution?

No. Institution snipers work with at least teams of four.

Two snipers and two spotters.

They shoot at once, aiming at two targets.

Then…
