[00:05] ---
    Everything in this world
    is dreamed by the goddess, Eve!
[00:10] ---
    We are all visions created by her dream!
[00:15] ---
    Then, what are we?
[00:17] ---
    Where are our true selves?
[00:21] ---
    People, do not grieve the maidens who have
    fallen ill with the Sleeping Beauty Syndrome!
[00:26] ---
    Those maidens have awakened
    to their true selves in their dreams
[00:30] ---
    and have been blessed by Eve!
[00:33] ---
    That's right! They have taken their true forms
    in their dreams and have been freed!
[00:39] ---
    Behaving like witches, they are
    more beautiful than anyone else!
[00:44] ---
    Oh? There's actually someone
    taking him seriously.
[01:30] ---
    ENTER THE RED DOORS
[01:47] ---
    Up above the forest of slumber
[01:54] ---
    Two moons look down from the sky
[02:01] ---
    Where did you come from,
    and where are you going?
[02:08] ---
    Where are we going?
[02:19] ---
    ENTER THE RED DOORS
SIGN    "The Thorn Cross Association"
[02:30] ---
    I found a clue!
[02:32] ---
    Huh?
[02:33] ---
    A clue about Yurina in the dream world!
[02:36] ---
    More importantly, why am I
    the only one who can't wake up?
[02:39] ---
    Huh?
[02:41] ---
    All the witches have woken up.
[02:54] ---
    I'm checking on that.
[02:56] ---
    The girls with Sleeping Beauty Syndrome
    have all returned to the real world.
[03:00] ---
    Well, with one exception, anyway.
[03:03] ---
    An exception?
[03:05] ---
    One of the girls passed away.
[03:08] ---
    The Witch of First Love, Kayo Sugisaki.
[03:11] ---
    Oh, right...
[03:20] ---
    No, but what about me?!
[03:22] ---
    I'm trying to tell you that
    the discovery about Yurina
[03:24] ---
    will also be a key to solving
    the mystery about you!
[03:26] ---
    Not only that, but also to the mystery of Lily!
[03:29] ---
    I don't care about that stuff!
[03:31] ---
    What do you mean, you don't care?
[03:34] ---
    I suspect that everything is connected!
[03:37] ---
    In the end, all you care about is yourself!
[03:41] ---
    As long as you can save your sister,
    you don't care what happens to me, right?
[03:45] ---
    How rude.
[03:46] ---
    Apologize for what you just said.
[03:48] ---
    No way.
[03:49] ---
    What I want are answers!
[03:53] ---
    At the very least,
    I am more mature than you.
[03:56] ---
    So what?
[03:57] ---
    I have concluded that there is no point
    in continuing this unproductive back-and-forth.
[04:04] ---
    Are you going to look for your sister?
[04:06] ---
    Did you say something about a clue?
[04:09] ---
    What?
[04:10] ---
    I don't feel like talking anymore.
[04:14] ---
    Hey!
[04:22] ---
    I want this dream to end!
[04:57] ---
    I am a representative of the
    Thorn Cross Association, Ehyeh.
[05:02] ---
    Professor Kanzaki, I am honored to meet
    such a famous researcher of the dream world.
[05:14] ---
    Brother!
[05:15] ---
    Oh, it's you.
[05:16] ---
    You got in a fight with that professor, huh?
[05:19] ---
    How do you know?
[05:20] ---
    'Cause it's a dream.
[05:22] ---
    I don't want to dream anymore.
[05:25] ---
    Do you want to know why you're
    the only one who won't wake up?
[05:28] ---
    Do you know?
[05:31] ---
    I know why you won't wake up:
[05:34] ---
    because I'm the one keeping you asleep.
[05:38] ---
    Oh? Even the renowned
    Professor Kanzaki does not know Eve?
[05:44] ---
    I'm afraid not...
[05:46] ---
    Actually, my younger sister
    also has Sleeping Beauty Syndrome,
[05:50] ---
    and I was wondering if that was related...
[05:52] ---
    That is wonderful!
[05:54] ---
    Your sister is receiving the blessing
    of Eve in the dream world.
[06:01] ---
    Hey, what do you want from me?
[06:04] ---
    Something that only you can do.
[06:06] ---
    Because I think you're the only one
    who can stop Eve from waking up.
[06:11] ---
    Eve? What's Eve?
[06:13] ---
    Eve's Eve. From Adam and Eve.
[06:24] ---
    If Eve wakes up...
[06:30] ---
    ...then everyone will die.
[06:41] ---
    That is the salvation of mankind.
[06:47] ---
    What we in the Thorn Cross
    Association worship
[06:49] ---
    is the goddess, Eve, who sleeps
    in the center of the dream world.
[06:54] ---
    An awesome being who is also the
    beginning of this world and of mankind.
[06:59] ---
    You said that this whole world
    is a dream that Eve is dreaming, right?
[07:03] ---
    I don't really understand that part...
[07:06] ---
    You know the story of
    Adam and Eve, do you not?
[07:10] ---
    The first man and woman who received
    the blessings of God in the Garden of Eden.
[07:15] ---
    However, they were tricked by the devil
    to eat fruit from the Tree of Knowledge,
[07:18] ---
    angering God and getting
    thrown out of Eden.
[07:22] ---
    Yes, I know that much.
[07:24] ---
    After much lamentation, Eve was
    so tormented by her own actions
[07:29] ---
    that she closed off her heart
    and fell into a deep sleep.
[07:34] ---
    In the dreams brought on by her sleep
    is this world in which we live.
[07:40] ---
    If we study history, we can see that
    the reality is far from the paradise of Eden.
[07:46] ---
    People suffer from one illness after another,
[07:49] ---
    the gap between the rich
    and poor grows wider,
[07:51] ---
    and there is no end to war and conflicts.
[07:54] ---
    People are only becoming more depraved.
[07:57] ---
    Because they ate fruit
    from the Tree of Knowledge,
[08:01] ---
    mankind angered God and
    are receiving eternal punishment.
[08:04] ---
    That is Eve's dream.
[08:06] ---
    It is the "now" that we call reality.
[08:10] ---
    Then, what are we?
[08:13] ---
    This is a temporary form.
[08:15] ---
    Inside dreams is where reality lies.
[08:18] ---
    Then, that's my reality?
[08:22] ---
    Awakening to our dream selves
    is the salvation we seek.
[08:28] ---
    The key to that lies in the witches
    who built the dream world.
[08:32] ---
    In the witches?
[08:34] ---
    Eve fell asleep and made
    this world of suffering.
[08:39] ---
    But what of the maidens with
    Sleeping Beauty Syndrome?
[08:44] ---
    Yes, they built a dream world of only witches.
[08:48] ---
    In that world, everything
    they desired came true...
[08:52] ---
    A wonderful world.
[08:54] ---
    It is the true Garden of Eden.
[09:09] ---
    And if Eve awakens,
[09:12] ---
    then we will be freed from
    Eve's world of suffering,
[09:16] ---
    with no war or poverty--
[09:18] ---
    only an eternal paradise.
[09:20] ---
    Then, does that mean the
    witches should not wake up?
[09:24] ---
    They've awakened to their true selves
    before everyone else, right?
[09:28] ---
    Exactly.
[09:29] ---
    And there is someone keeping
    them from their true selves,
[09:32] ---
    bringing them back to this world...
[09:35] ---
    Someone evil.
[09:42] ---
    All the witches you've saved up until now
[09:45] ---
    were linchpins that opened up
    the path to Eve's door.
[09:50] ---
    Linchpins? Those girls were?
[09:52] ---
    Yes. Remember.
[09:55] ---
    Game set.
[09:57] ---
    Oh, I feel much better.
[09:59] ---
    Who's the strongest in this world?
[10:02] ---
    The Witch of Thunder!
[10:05] ---
    What "dream world" is this?
[10:07] ---
    You're just being self-complacent.
[10:09] ---
    It's super tiring to be the girl
    everyone wants me to be.
[10:13] ---
    I can't fail.
[10:16] ---
    But I really want to be spoiled.
[10:18] ---
    But I can't!
[10:20] ---
    That's why I had no choice
    but to bind myself!
[10:22] ---
    I can do what I want in
    this world at least, right?!
[10:30] ---
    It was my dream to do this.
[10:33] ---
    That dream's over once you
    kill all three of them, though.
[10:37] ---
    Your dream will end.
[10:39] ---
    What'll you do after that?
[10:41] ---
    If I don't kill them, I can't live.
[10:44] ---
    Why is it always me...?
[10:47] ---
    Why...?!
[10:50] ---
    When I eat, I lose weight in a hurry.
[10:53] ---
    And losing weight is a bad thing?
[10:55] ---
    Yes, it is.
[10:58] ---
    When I ate and lost weight,
    my boyfriend dumped me.
[11:02] ---
    Going to school, studying,
    playing with friends...
[11:07] ---
    ...finding lots of love...
[11:08] ---
    Being able to enjoy this moment...
    just like everyone else--
[11:15] ---
    that's all I want, and yet...
[11:18] ---
    Weren't involved?! They're still guilty!
[11:20] ---
    It's gutless to know that bullying
    is going on, and pretend not to see it!
[11:25] ---
    Did you forget?
[11:29] ---
    Pot... was killed by me...
[11:31] ---
    I will never forget that!
[11:33] ---
    There's no way I could forget!
[11:48] ---
    It's not as though everyone
    leads the same life as you do.
[11:52] ---
    But if you realize that even
    a little bit, I'd be glad.
[11:57] ---
    By learning the slightest bit about someone...
[12:00] ---
    ...by changing your point of view just a bit...
[12:03] ---
    ...your feelings toward that person
    suddenly grow a lot closer.
[12:07] ---
    Getting to know them;
[12:09] ---
    listening for their voice...
[12:16] ---
    Misaki is an eternal idol!
[12:18] ---
    A national star that everyone admires!
[12:21] ---
    She doesn't fall in love
    or go to the bathroom.
[12:24] ---
    She's a perfect idol!
[12:28] ---
    A perfect idol. Is there
    really anyone like that?
[12:33] ---
    Come on, Jane. It's okay.
    You don't have to be afraid.
[12:39] ---
    This is where I draw you close, Haruto.
[12:45] ---
    Jane, you can't stay in a dream
    like this. Wake up, Jane.
[12:53] ---
    I know you can do it.
[12:54] ---
    Let's go, together with me.
    Come on, summon your courage.
[13:00] ---
    What does a made-up world
    like this have for you?
[13:04] ---
    Open your eyes and start walking, Jane.
[13:07] ---
    Don't give up, Jane!
    I know you can do it, Jane!
[13:11] ---
    Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane!
    Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane! Jane!
[13:18] ---
    Aw, man!
[13:21] ---
    Well, rather than witches,
[13:23] ---
    they just seemed like they each
    had their own issues to deal with.
[13:26] ---
    There are many witches,
[13:28] ---
    but not even I knew which
    witches had become linchpins.
[13:33] ---
    But for you, the witches were
    the ones who contacted you, right?
[13:38] ---
    That's how we knew who were linchpins.
[13:47] ---
    Why me?
[13:49] ---
    Because you're you.
[13:50] ---
    That doesn't explain anything.
[13:52] ---
    When those ten linchpins are removed,
    the door to Eve opens.
[13:57] ---
    Brother, come with me to that door.
[13:59] ---
    What'll we do once we get there?
[14:01] ---
    I want you to stop Eve from waking up.
[14:03] ---
    Stop her?
[14:06] ---
    Kill her.
[14:07] ---
    You want me to kill her? Why?
[14:09] ---
    Why don't you do it?
[14:11] ---
    You're the one who wants to kill her.
[14:13] ---
    I can't do it!
[14:14] ---
    Why not?
[14:15] ---
    You saw it, didn't you?
[14:17] ---
    The world will end.
    All of mankind will die.
[14:20] ---
    That doesn't answer my question!
[14:22] ---
    Professor, you know who the evil one is.
[14:26] ---
    Inside dreams I do.
[14:28] ---
    I wish for you to stop him.
[14:30] ---
    The evil one has already
    awoken ten witches.
[14:37] ---
    Let's open your eyes.
[14:54] ---
    I wish I could've met you sooner...
[15:04] ---
    I have a new dream now...
[15:09] ---
    Thank you.
[15:20] ---
    Hey, Haruto.
[15:23] ---
    I was really...
[15:27] ---
    ...happy.
[15:41] ---
    I...
[15:43] ---
    ...love you...
[15:50] ---
    ...Haruto!
[16:24] ---
    That's so good! And so fun!
[16:41] ---
    Des... tiny...?
[16:44] ---
    The one place where you
    can really be yourself is...
[16:48] ---
    Yes. Ultimately, this is the
    only path I have, isn't it?
[16:58] ---
    That's right, Mirei. You shine brightest
    when you're on the ice.
[17:05] ---
    So keep right on skating. That's what your...
[17:09] ---
    ...destiny is.
[17:26] ---
    It's all right. Knowing you,
    you'll be able to overcome this.
[17:31] ---
    Then, does that mean I'm alive?
[17:37] ---
    I can get out of here, then?
[17:40] ---
    That part depends on you.
[17:43] ---
    On whether you're ready to face
    living in your harsh reality.
[17:48] ---
    I am ready.
[17:53] ---
    Thank you.
[17:56] ---
    Farewell.
[18:06] ---
    I'm glad I...
[18:07] ---
    I'm glad I met you!
[18:14] ---
    I'll see you later!
[18:18] ---
    Huh?
[18:30] ---
    Now, the spell's about to be broken, Princess.
[18:43] ---
    He gave me a chance.
[18:45] ---
    Then that means I can see you on the outside?
[18:49] ---
    Um, will you be my friend?
[18:51] ---
    Of course.
[18:56] ---
    I want to see you...
[19:05] ---
    All of that has angered Eve.
[19:09] ---
    Why did he awaken them?
[19:11] ---
    Why did he tamper with their feelings?
[19:14] ---
    Eve is trying to wake up
    because of her anger.
[19:18] ---
    Then, Eve is waking up from anger
    and then trying to save mankind?
[19:23] ---
    We wish for that awakening to occur,
    not from anger, but from love.
[19:29] ---
    Love is another ambiguous word...
[19:33] ---
    If Eve awakens from love,
[19:35] ---
    then she would likely forgive this world
    of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.
[19:38] ---
    That is the only way to escape
    the punishment of the gods.
[19:43] ---
    By the way, if Eve wakes up
    and saves the world,
[19:48] ---
    then what kind of world awaits us?
[19:50] ---
    The world will become Sleeping Beauty.
[20:02] ---
    I don't really get it,
    but it seems pretty scary.
[20:15] ---
    Don't believe them.
[20:21] ---
    Who are you?
[20:22] ---
    Someone who hates the Thorn Cross Association.
[20:25] ---
    That's all.
[20:27] ---
    Do you know something?
[20:29] ---
    Do I look like I do?
[20:31] ---
    Why did you talk to me, then?
[20:33] ---
    What? I'm just warning you.
[20:36] ---
    So you won't fall for what those fools say.
[20:39] ---
    You're not being very clear.
    What are you hiding?
[20:42] ---
    Nothing. I said I hate those guys, right?
[20:46] ---
    Anyway, don't get near those guys anymore.
[20:49] ---
    You want to live a long time, don't you?
[20:57] ---
    What a weirdo.
[21:03] ---
    Yes? Professor, it's been a long time.
[21:07] ---
    It's been a while. There's
    something I want to ask you.
[21:10] ---
    Ask me? What is it?
[21:13] ---
    It's about Haruto.
[21:15] ---
    Not just you. I want to ask
    all the other witches, too.
[21:19] ---
    About Haruto?
[21:21] ---
    Then, there's a lot that we
    would like to tell you, as well.
[21:25] ---
    Hm? "We"?
[21:27] ---
    Yes, all of us former witches.
[21:37] ---
    If I open this, then I'll be at the door
    that'll lead me to Eve, right?
[21:41] ---
    Yes.
[21:43] ---
    I guess I have no choice, then.
[21:44] ---
    Shall we go?
[21:59] ---
    I am a representative of the
    Thorn Cross Association, Ehyeh.
[22:04] ---
    Everything in this world
    is dreamed by the goddess, Eve!
[22:09] ---
    We are all visions created by her dream!
[22:15] ---
    Then, what are we?
[22:19] ---
    Where are our true selves?
[22:23] ---
    People, do not grieve the maidens who have
    fallen ill with the Sleeping Beauty Syndrome!
[22:30] ---
    Those maidens have awakened
    to their true selves in their dreams
[22:36] ---
    and have been blessed by Eve!
[22:40] ---
    That's right! They have taken their true forms
    in their dreams and have been freed!
[23:22] ---
    Awaken.
[23:28] ---
    The witch's singing voice rings out.
[23:30] ---
    Turn your ear toward it.
[23:32] ---
    Listen to her feelings.
SIGN    "The Witch Wars"
[23:34] ---
    Listen, baa!
[23:36] ---
    Next time's dream is "The Witch Wars."
[23:41] ---
    
[23:43] ---
    
[23:45] ---
