Absolute Duo
“Blaze”, a weapon that you create by materializing your own soul using super-fortified spiritual powers. At Koryo Academy, a school that teaches combat skills to those who were born with aptitude for “Blaze” (said to be one in a thousand), students use a partnership system called “Duo” to tie a bond, and heighten each other’s souls. Now, the curtain rises on the story of Tor Kokonoe, an “Irregular” boy whose “Blaze” took the form of a “Shield”- an armor instead of a weapon, and Julie Sigtuna, a girl with silver hair. A school battle action that grasps the future with the bonds to your partner!

[00:26] ---
It's no use...
[00:28] ---
Blaze!
[00:45] ---
Julie...
[00:53] ---
Head off Julie's fang!
[01:15] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:21] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:26] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:31] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:36] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:41] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:47] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:56] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[02:01] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:06] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:12] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:16] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:22] ---
Looking down on our limits

"#1 Blaze"
[03:04] ---
So that's what they mean
by "pretty young thing"!
[03:07] ---
You're new here, too?
Why don't we walk together?
[03:13] ---
So this is Koryo Academy High School...
[03:16] ---
An all-expenses-paid academy
with free room and board,
[03:20] ---
established by the Dorn Agency--
[03:23] ---
it's a dream come true!
[03:25] ---
I'm the only one here from my
middle school, so I was a little nervous.
[03:31] ---
Yeah, same here.
[03:33] ---
We'll be studying...
martial techniques here, right?
[03:39] ---
Uh-huh.
[03:43] ---
I haven't even introduced myself!
[03:46] ---
I'm Imari Nagakura.
This is going to be a fun three years!
[03:50] ---
I'm Tor Kokonoe. Nice to meet you, Nagakura.
[03:54] ---
Call me Imari, Tor.
[03:57] ---
The opening ceremony will
begin soon in the study hall.
[04:01] ---
Shall we?
[04:01] ---
New students,
[04:02] ---
Yeah, let's go.
[04:02] ---
please assemble in the study hall.
[04:07] ---
"Koryo Academy Opening Ceremony"
[04:26] ---
Welcome, new students, to Koryo Academy.
[04:30] ---
I am the Academy president, Sakuya Tsukumo.
[04:34] ---
We shall now perform our
traditional Screening Rite.
[04:40] ---
First, please take note of
the person sitting beside you;
[04:42] ---
he or she will be your partner.
[04:45] ---
I guess you're my partner, Imari.
[04:47] ---
I wonder what we're going to do.
[04:49] ---
And now...
[04:51] ---
...you are to battle your partner.
[04:57] ---
Only the winners will be permitted entrance.
[04:59] ---
The losers will have their Lukifers
removed and will leave the premises.
[05:03] ---
What the...? This is news to me!
[05:05] ---
You mean that letter of acceptance
wasn't enough to get in?
[05:07] ---
A battle? But... that's impossible!
[05:09] ---
If your battle is not over within ten minutes,
[05:12] ---
both students will be given failing marks.
[05:14] ---
W-Wait--please!
[05:16] ---
Yes?
[05:17] ---
Isn't it a little much to say
we can't get in if we lose?
[05:21] ---
Consider this Koryo Academy's
entrance examination.
[05:25] ---
It is a struggle for survival
based on one simple rule:
[05:31] ---
Defeat others to stay alive.
[05:33] ---
What's wrong with a normal exam?
[05:35] ---
You will all be plunging headfirst
into battle before long.
[05:41] ---
You must have known that
when you first expressed interest
[05:44] ---
in attending Koryo Academy.
[05:46] ---
Can we switch partners?
[05:51] ---
Understand this: The person beside
you now is your first enemy.
[05:56] ---
It's okay, Tor.
[05:59] ---
I appreciate the sentiment...
[06:01] ---
...but don't treat me like a fool.
[06:04] ---
Now fight, heaven-chosen children--you Elcidae!
[06:08] ---
You have already been given
the power you require.
[06:11] ---
Use your soul-power, your Blaze,
to snatch up a future for yourself!
[06:16] ---
Blaze.
[06:32] ---
Why, you...!
[07:23] ---
There's something I have to do.
It's why I'm here.
[07:28] ---
Imari...
[07:30] ---
So... I can't let you go any further!
[07:33] ---
Blaze!
[07:45] ---
Tor, get your Blaze out.
[07:50] ---
Then I'll just end it here!
[08:02] ---
So this is the power of the Lukifer...
[08:07] ---
This next one won't miss.
[08:24] ---
C'mon, that's enough.
[08:27] ---
So you're saying you admit defeat?
[08:30] ---
Give me a break!
You didn't even really fight me!
[08:43] ---
A shield? Is that your Blaze, Tor?
[08:47] ---
Yeah...
[08:48] ---
B-But a Blaze--soul-power always
comes in the form of a weapon!
[08:55] ---
I guess I'm an Irregular.
[08:59] ---
Thanks for protecting me, Tor.
[09:02] ---
Still...
[09:04] ---
...there are some things I just can't let go by.
[09:08] ---
You have those, too, don't you?
[09:11] ---
If not... then get out of my way!
[09:17] ---
She only died
because she was weak.
[09:23] ---
Sorry, Imari. I can't let this go by, either.
[09:27] ---
This is mine!
[09:38] ---
It's over, Imari.
[09:54] ---
Time's up. Only the victors at
this time will be permitted entry.
[09:59] ---
You okay?
[10:00] ---
Allow me to leave you with these final words:
[10:04] ---
May you someday reach Absolute Duo.
[10:13] ---
All that fancy fighting
and no one even got hurt.
[10:18] ---
Blazes are weapons produced by your soul,
[10:21] ---
so I guess souls are the
only things they can hurt.
[10:25] ---
You were totally holding back at the end there!
[10:27] ---
Th-That wasn't my Blaze--
I would have hurt you for real.
[10:32] ---
You're sweet, Tor...
[10:35] ---
...but you can't do that anymore.
[10:39] ---
No matter what your power is,
no matter how strong your opponent,
[10:44] ---
lose once and it's over.
[10:46] ---
That's the kind of world
that's out there waiting for us.
[10:50] ---
And once you lose, there are no do-overs.
[10:55] ---
Congrats on making it in, Tor.
[11:02] ---
Okay, well... bye now.
[11:12] ---
Haven't seen you in two years, Tor.
[11:14] ---
Never thought we'd meet
again here, of all places.
[11:18] ---
Tora? It is you!
[11:21] ---
So you made it through the Screening Rite, eh?
[11:24] ---
Guess that makes us both
Sakuya Tsukumo's guinea pigs.
[11:29] ---
Hey, now--aren't you going too far?
[11:32] ---
But I'm not wrong.
[11:34] ---
We got our Blaze powers from
those Lukifer things she gave us.
[11:41] ---
You could say Koryo Academy
is one big research facility
[11:45] ---
made just for Sakuya Tsukumo.
[11:48] ---
Hey, there's the first-year classroom.
Let's get moving, Tora.
[11:54] ---
What's your hurry?
[12:01] ---
Let's make this a good year.
[12:02] ---
Uh-huh.
[12:18] ---
It's her...
[12:19] ---
You know her?
[12:20] ---
I don't exactly know her, but...
[12:25] ---
Tor?
[12:34] ---
"stare"
[12:37] ---
Do I know her?
[12:38] ---
You're asking me?!
[12:44] ---
"stare"
[12:47] ---
She's obviously looking at you.
[12:49] ---
She's obviously looking at me.
[12:51] ---
Why don't you talk to her?
[12:53] ---
I should probably talk to her.
[12:55] ---
Hey, uh...
[13:00] ---
"stare"
[13:03] ---
So, er...
[13:05] ---
"stare"
[13:07] ---
Wow. She's good.
[13:10] ---
Hello, hello!
[13:15] ---
Nice to meet you! I'm your
homeroom teacher, Rito Tsukimi!
[13:18] ---
Oh, but call me Professor Bunbun!
[13:22] ---
"stare"
[13:24] ---
Dear me! What could be the problem?
[13:26] ---
Oh! Are you perhaps dazzled
by how gosh-darn cute I am?
[13:29] ---
Goodness me!
[13:30] ---
We just don't know how to react!
[13:36] ---
All this and she's still looking at me?!
[13:37] ---
"stare"
[13:39] ---
Okay, your turn! Introduce yourselves!
[13:43] ---
Tomoe Tachibana.
[13:46] ---
U-Um... Miyabi Hotaka.
[13:50] ---
Aoi Torasaki.
[13:54] ---
Okay, now, who's next?
[13:58] ---
Tor Kokonoe.
[14:00] ---
Kokonoe? Ooh, so you're that Irregular!
[14:04] ---
You're the talk of the staff room!
[14:06] ---
Uh... yes.
[14:08] ---
Okay, and next up is the
silver-haired girl beside you!
[14:10] ---
Stand up, now!
[14:12] ---
Ja.
[14:13] ---
I'm Julie Sigtuna. Pleased to meet you all.
[14:18] ---
Julie, huh?
[14:23] ---
What's with that girl, anyway?
[14:29] ---
Okay! So! Have you gotten
the hang of this place yet?
[14:32] ---
"Koryo Academy: Dorm Life Handbook"
[14:33] ---
Oh, right! Your student ID can
also be used as a credit card.
[14:37] ---
You have a whopping 100,000 yen
every month to use however you like!
[14:38] ---
"100,000 Yen"
[14:41] ---
Boys, feel free to give some of that
dough to Professor Bunbun! Tee-hee!
[14:48] ---
"Duo"
[14:48] ---
We have a special Duo system here.
[14:51] ---
It boils down to students
pairing up and living with partners.
[14:58] ---
Professor?
[14:59] ---
Yes?
[15:01] ---
Why do we have that system?
[15:03] ---
You know that once you graduate,
[15:05] ---
you'll be placed in the Dorn
Agency's peacekeeping corps.
[15:09] ---
Well, there you'll be working in teams--
mostly teams of two!
[15:13] ---
So we're getting used to how
the corps works while we're here?
[15:18] ---
Bingo-bango-bongo!
Hit the nail right on the head!
[15:20] ---
Thank you very much.
[15:23] ---
And so, Duos always work together.
[15:26] ---
Together during classes and in the dorms--
[15:28] ---
which is why we house you in double rooms!
[15:31] ---
Okay, so here goes...
[15:34] ---
Duos will be discussed and decided
officially by the weekend,
[15:37] ---
so until then, you'll all be in temporary Duos!
[15:40] ---
"stare"
[15:41] ---
Temporary Duos? What do you say, Tora?
[15:45] ---
I guess it was inevitable.
[15:47] ---
Now, these Duos may be temporary,
but they come preassigned.
[15:50] ---
And by that I mean, just like
in the opening ceremony,
[15:53] ---
the person next to you will be your partner!
[15:55] ---
The person...
[15:57] ---
...next to me...
[15:59] ---
My partner?
[16:01] ---
Wait! That's not good!
[16:03] ---
Already been decided!
[16:04] ---
No, no, no! It can't be! It can't!
[16:06] ---
Nice, Kokonoe! Your roommate
is the beautiful silver-haired Julie!
[16:11] ---
Oh, and no extra roommates, either.
And by that, I mean...
[16:22] ---
This is not good!
[16:23] ---
I-I-Is she serious?!
[16:24] ---
We're roommates? This is my roommate?!
[16:25] ---
OMG! My heart is racing!
[16:27] ---
Wait--please! Let's be sensible about this!
[16:32] ---
This school holds an entry exam
during the opening ceremony.
[16:35] ---
It makes its students fight each other.
[16:37] ---
Is that sensible?
[16:44] ---
Be a man and suck it up!
[16:47] ---
That's the problem--I am a man!
[16:48] ---
Oh, shut up! It's time for lights-out!
[16:51] ---
But...
[17:03] ---
What should I say when I walk in?
[17:06] ---
Good evening.
[17:07] ---
Excuse me.
[17:08] ---
Guten Abend!
[17:11] ---
No--this is my room, too.
I should just walk right in.
[17:16] ---
Here goes.
[17:18] ---
Um... it's Kokonoe...
[17:25] ---
I guess she's not too thrilled
about living with a guy, either.
[17:29] ---
She must be in someone else's...
[17:42] ---
Sorry--I went ahead and showered first.
[17:48] ---
Wh-Wh-What are you wearing?!
[17:51] ---
Pajamas?
[17:54] ---
Ohhh, no, no, no. That shirt is not pajamas!
[17:57] ---
I sleep in it, so it's pajamas.
[18:00] ---
No?
[18:07] ---
L-Let me reintroduce myself. I'm--
[18:11] ---
Tor.
[18:12] ---
Huh? Oh, you remembered.
[18:15] ---
"Tor" sounds like a word
from my homeland, Gimle,
[18:19] ---
so it's easy to remember.
[18:21] ---
Gimle, huh? Whereabouts is that?
[18:24] ---
Scandinavia.
[18:26] ---
And Thor is a thunder god,
the mightiest in Norse mythology.
[18:31] ---
It's a good name.
[18:33] ---
The mightiest god, eh?
[18:36] ---
Tor? Tor?
[18:39] ---
What is it?
[18:40] ---
N-Nothing!
[18:41] ---
Uh, actually, you were staring
at me all through class today.
[18:45] ---
Like you are now.
[18:48] ---
Don't act like you weren't.
[18:51] ---
I'm interested in you.
[18:55] ---
Tor, I'm really...
[18:59] ---
...really interested in you.
[19:01] ---
Wh-What, uh... like how?
[19:04] ---
Huh? Whoa! Hey--
[19:07] ---
W-Wait a second! What are you--
[19:16] ---
That move of yours, in the Screening Rite.
[19:19] ---
I've been curious about it ever since.
[19:22] ---
Oh... that?
[19:24] ---
Ja. Teach it to me.
[19:28] ---
Sorry. That move puts way
too much strain on the body.
[19:32] ---
If a girl used it, it'd destroy her.
[19:36] ---
So... yeah. I'm sorry.
[19:38] ---
You can't? That's...
[19:42] ---
...too bad.
[19:46] ---
Are you okay?
[19:48] ---
Apologies. It must be the time
difference. I'm just so sleepy...
[19:54] ---
Oh, right. Sorry I waylaid you like that.
[19:58] ---
Go on ahead and get some sleep.
[20:00] ---
Ja, I will... if you'll... excuse me...
[20:10] ---
Hey! You can't sleep here!
Sleep in bed, or you'll catch a cold!
[20:18] ---
Aw, man!
[20:35] ---
And it's only the first day...
[20:38] ---
I better turn in, too.
[20:58] ---
The wind stops, having touched your back
[21:06] ---
As you walked all alone
[21:14] ---
The sound of bells echoes beside you
[21:22] ---
Loneliness melts away in time
[21:30] ---
Wishes to the skies, oaths to eternity: my soul
[21:38] ---
Though caught in the driving rain, we are two:
Just believe, believe, believe
[21:47] ---
Even the faintest voice will reach you--
that alone is enough
[21:55] ---
For even trembling hands
to hold a shining hope
[22:03] ---
Courage spread wide,
we breathe together and grab the sky
[22:10] ---
In my world, you're here
[22:26] ---
As if I could sleep!
[22:30] ---
What's that?
[22:35] ---
Sorry--did I wake you?
[22:37] ---
Nej. So what is that?
[22:40] ---
Just apple tea. The instant kind.
[22:44] ---
It smells nice.
[22:46] ---
Er... want some?
[22:50] ---
Ja.
[22:54] ---
Here you go.
[22:56] ---
Thank you.
[23:03] ---
Delicious.
[23:04] ---
Say, Miss Sigtuna...
[23:07] ---
Nej, "Julie" is fine.
[23:10] ---
Oh, okay...
[23:12] ---
Anyway, let's make this work till
the real Duos are announced, Julie.
[23:17] ---
Ja, let's make this work, Tor.
[23:26] ---
What's that "ja" of yours mean anyway, Julie?
[23:29] ---
"Yes"
[23:29] ---
It means "yes."
[23:30] ---
Always "yes."
[23:31] ---
Ja!
[23:31] ---
"Ja!"
[23:32] ---
Ja,
[23:33] ---
Ja...
[23:33] ---
"Ja..."
[23:34] ---
Ja,
[23:35] ---
Ja?
[23:35] ---
"Ja?"
[23:36] ---
Next time: "Duo."
[23:36] ---
"Next time: Duo"
[23:37] ---
Ja. That's deep.

Wh-Wh-Why's Julie here?!
Th-This is my bed, right?

J-Julie, um... this, uh...
[00:30] ---
Good morning, Tor.
[00:33] ---
Oh, g'morning.
[00:35] ---
No, wait! Why were you sleeping next to me?!

[02:14] ---
Hey, aren't those two...
[02:16] ---
I heard he's an Irregular.
[02:19] ---
Are you even allowed to have a coed Duo?
[02:21] ---
The rumors are already flying.
[02:23] ---
Is something wrong?
[02:26] ---
No, not really. Let's sit there.
[02:29] ---
Ja.
[02:35] ---
Let's dig in.
[02:37] ---
Bon appétit.
[02:42] ---
Morning, Kokonoe.
[02:43] ---
G-Good morning.
[02:46] ---
Mind if we join you?
[02:47] ---
Sure, go right ahead. Uh...
Tachibana and Hotaka, right?
[02:52] ---
Yep. Then if you don't mind...
[03:00] ---
What's with the one-note
breakfast you've got there?
[03:03] ---
I, uh, I like meat.
[03:07] ---
Listen, Kokonoe: meals ought to be balanced.
[03:15] ---
Sorry. Miyabi's kind of awkward around guys.
[03:19] ---
Oh, yeah?
[03:24] ---
Like Julie was yesterday.
[03:29] ---
Let's get down to brass tacks.
[03:31] ---
Truth is, we sat here today because
we were a little worried about you.
[03:37] ---
About us?
[03:38] ---
Rules notwithstanding,
you're an adolescent man and woman
[03:41] ---
living in the same room.
[03:43] ---
And that's not... awkward?
It's perfectly... all right?
[03:49] ---
Ja. We have no problems with it.
[03:52] ---
Oh?
[03:54] ---
Tor embraced me gently last night as well.
[04:00] ---
Wait just a minute! You're taking
that the wrong way! I didn't--
[04:05] ---
K-K-K-Kokonoe... you...
[04:08] ---
...you dog!

[04:11] ---
It's said that one person in
a thousand is suited for a Lukifer.
[04:15] ---
People who've been given
Lukifers get physically stronger--
[04:19] ---
and mentally, too, as a spirit-like
entity inside them gains power!
[04:22] ---
And when that soul-power takes shape?
[04:25] ---
Yes, you, with the glasses!
[04:26] ---
It's Torasaki!
[04:28] ---
The embodiment of soul-power
is known as a Blaze.
[04:31] ---
"Lukifer"
[04:32] ---
Bingo!
[04:33] ---
And the chosen people suited
for Lukifers who can use a Blaze?
[04:35] ---
"Soul-Power" "Blaze"
[04:39] ---
You, with the boobs!
[04:43] ---
They, uh, they're called Exceeds.
[04:46] ---
"Soul-Power" "Blaze"
[04:46] ---
Bingo bango bongo!
[04:48] ---
Now, a Blaze is essentially
a weapon of simple construction.
[04:48] ---
"Exceed"
[04:52] ---
They can be swords or spears--
or any number of unusual things!
[04:56] ---
Isn't that right, Cohabitating Irregular?
[04:58] ---
We're not "cohabitating" --we're roommates!
[05:09] ---
All right, let's move on!
[05:13] ---
Yesterday it was Julie, today it's Tachibana...
[05:16] ---
Something wrong with Tomoe?
[05:18] ---
It's about this morning in the dining hall.
[05:21] ---
I guess we were asking for trouble.
[05:24] ---
Because, uh... "embrace" can mean...
[05:35] ---
I'll tell her it was a misunderstanding.
[05:37] ---
Please do.
[05:38] ---
You're pretty good at Japanese, Julie.
[05:41] ---
Mama taught me. She's an interpreter.
[05:45] ---
Oh, really?
[05:48] ---
"Soul-Power" "Blaze" "Exceed"
[05:49] ---
And she didn't teach you the written language?
[05:52] ---
I'm still bad at writing.
[05:55] ---
And so, you can think of the
Lukifer's physical enhancement
[05:57] ---
as a kind of multiplier, so...
[05:59] ---
Yes! Mr. Barbarian!
[06:03] ---
Right! The more you train your body,
the stronger you'll get!
[06:10] ---
How'd she understand that?!
[06:12] ---
And! There! Fore!
[06:14] ---
Our curriculum includes
heaps of battle training.
[06:17] ---
So start training up to be muy macho!
[06:21] ---
But we don't want to be macho!
[06:23] ---
Now, Lukifers have levels you
can raise in the Rite of Sublimation.
[06:23] ---
"Rite of Sublimation"
[06:28] ---
The Rite of Sublimation is
always held at the end of the term,
[06:30] ---
but without training both body
and mind, those levels'll never rise!
[06:35] ---
If you don't go up a single
level all year, you're expelled.
[06:40] ---
Expelled?!
[06:42] ---
And you don't want that to happen.
[06:43] ---
Which is why we're diving
right into battle training next!
[06:47] ---
Hooray!
[06:49] ---
I'm here before you now,
asking your forgiveness!
[06:52] ---
"Perfection in Unity"
[06:52] ---
Where'd this come from?
[06:53] ---
The dining hall this morning!
Julie told me--it's all my fault!
[06:59] ---
I'm just glad we cleared things up.
[07:01] ---
Now please stop that bowing and scraping!
[07:03] ---
This is how I'm conveying my feelings!
[07:06] ---
Well, quit it!
[07:07] ---
"Perfection in Unity"
[07:07] ---
But it'll keep hanging over me!
[07:10] ---
Your feelings came through loud
and clear, so please spare me the rest.
[07:14] ---
Someone might take this the wrong way.
[07:22] ---
I-I-I I am doubly, triply sorry!
Truly, truly sorry!
[07:27] ---
Stop that, I said!
[07:29] ---
O-Oh, right. Sorry.
[07:36] ---
Sorry! I'll fix this!
[07:39] ---
Hey! Watch where you're touching!
[07:51] ---
I-It wasn't on purpose!
[07:53] ---
I know--just do something, and fast!
[08:03] ---
You're working on your pinning technique!
[08:04] ---
No!
[08:04] ---
No!
[08:30] ---
Has Tachibana done any
martial arts? She's good.
[08:33] ---
You haven't heard of the Tachibana School?
[08:36] ---
It's mostly ancient martial arts--you
can see its influence all over.
[08:39] ---
It's famous.
[08:41] ---
Well, huh...
[08:42] ---
I'm more interested in Tachibana's
partner--she can really take her on.
[08:49] ---
What's the deal with your roommate?
[08:51] ---
I haven't really asked.
[08:53] ---
Why not?
[08:55] ---
We're only roommates for a week.
[08:58] ---
I want my official Duo to be with you.
[09:02] ---
Y-You can't just go around deciding that stuff!
[09:05] ---
But a coed Duo is bad news.
[09:08] ---
I guess it was inevitable...
[09:10] ---
But I don't plan on pairing
up with any weaklings.
[09:12] ---
That is a problem.
[09:14] ---
Let's do this!
[09:15] ---
Let's see how much stronger you've
gotten in these past two years, Tor.
[09:23] ---
Thank you very much.
[09:24] ---
And thank you as well.
[09:29] ---
It was nice being
able to go all-out like that.
[09:32] ---
Thanks, Julie.
[09:34] ---
Ja, same here.
[09:36] ---
Here you go, Tomoe, Julie.
[09:39] ---
Thanks.
[09:40] ---
Thank you, Miyabi.
[09:45] ---
You two are amazing.
I couldn't believe my eyes!
[09:48] ---
Will you be my next partner, Miyabi?
[09:51] ---
Who, me? Oh, no no no! I'm no match for you.
[09:58] ---
Oh, I see...
[09:59] ---
Training isn't just about moving your body.
[10:03] ---
Seeing others move
can be a kind of practice, too.
[10:09] ---
Those two have real skill.
[10:11] ---
Whoa! They sure do!
[10:33] ---
Thanks for waiting up for me, Tor.
[10:36] ---
Sure.
[10:37] ---
You didn't have to wait outside, though.
[10:40] ---
Yeah, I really kind of did.
[10:44] ---
Did you practice anything, Julie?
[10:47] ---
Like what?
[10:48] ---
Like martial arts or something.
[10:50] ---
Nej. I'm self-taught.
[10:53] ---
Self-taught, and you're that powerful? Wow.
[10:58] ---
You and Tora are powerful, too.
[11:00] ---
We attended a dojo when we were kids.
[11:03] ---
You looked like
you were having fun.
[11:05] ---
Well, when I'm up
against Tora, I can really let loose.
[11:11] ---
I see...
[11:42] ---
"Cherry" "Deciduous tree in the rose family."
"Cherry"
[11:45] ---
"Koryo Academy"
[11:49] ---
Waiting for her again today, huh?
[11:55] ---
Yeah. Can't bear to just leave her.
[11:58] ---
You're totally Julie's caretaker.
[12:00] ---
What's that supposed to mean?
[12:02] ---
Just what it sounds like.
[12:05] ---
Hey, Tora?
[12:07] ---
What?
[12:08] ---
Don't forget that Duo application tomorrow.
[12:17] ---
I won't.
[12:19] ---
"Koryo Academy"
[12:31] ---
Hey, Julie?
[12:34] ---
Um... good job making it through the week.
[12:39] ---
Ja, you too, Tor.
[12:44] ---
So... who'd you ask to pair
with for your official Duo?
[12:49] ---
Duo?
[12:51] ---
I'm thinking of asking Tomoe.
[12:54] ---
That's great. You and Tachibana
are closely matched--
[12:59] ---
you'll make one tough Duo.
[13:01] ---
Are you pairing with Tora?
[13:03] ---
Yeah.
[13:14] ---
Do you like cherry blossoms?
[13:18] ---
Mama always told me Japan
had beautiful cherry blossoms.
[13:22] ---
Yeah? So what's your verdict?
[13:25] ---
They really are gorgeous.
[13:29] ---
This is the second time I've taken
in the cherry blossoms with you, Tor.
[13:34] ---
The day of the opening ceremony.
You were here looking at them, too.
[13:41] ---
And you noticed me?
[13:43] ---
Ja. I'm glad I could see them with you again.
[13:48] ---
S-Sure... Next year we can all come together.
[13:54] ---
Right.
[14:09] ---
Not again!
[14:16] ---
Papa...
[14:29] ---
She's lonely, all right.
[14:36] ---
Students filing Duo applications,
please form an orderly line!
[14:37] ---
"Office"
[14:40] ---
The deadline is 6 PM today--no need to rush!
[14:46] ---
Aren't we done yet?
[14:47] ---
Class is gonna start!
[14:49] ---
Is it crowded, or is it just me?
[14:51] ---
Looks like we should come back later.
[14:53] ---
Yeah. Let's do that.
[15:04] ---
Julie...
[15:06] ---
She's asked Tachibana.
[15:10] ---
Oh, right--
[15:11] ---
who's your roommate pairing with?
[15:14] ---
Julie? She's going with Tachibana.
[15:18] ---
They'd make an interesting Duo.
[15:22] ---
OMG, how embarrassing!
[15:24] ---
Professor Bunbun never
told us we'd have to do that!
[15:28] ---
Right? My heart is pounding!
[15:29] ---
What the--?
[15:30] ---
What's that all about?
[15:32] ---
"Office"
[15:33] ---
Applying for a Duo? I'll need your student IDs.
[15:36] ---
"Koryo Academy Student ID"
"Name: Tor Kokonoe"
[15:37] ---
"Koryo Academy Student ID"
"Name: Aoi Torasaki"
[15:40] ---
Now I'll need to have
you two pledge your Duo-hood.
[15:44] ---
Pledge...
[15:45] ---
...our Duo-hood?
[15:46] ---
Put one Blaze on the
other and recite this pledge
[15:51] ---
to make your Duo official.
[15:55] ---
Go ahead.
[15:57] ---
We have to read this?
[15:58] ---
Yes, that's the rule.
[16:01] ---
Oh, you two are here, too.
[16:04] ---
Tachibana... and Hotaka? What happened?
[16:08] ---
We're filing our application, too. Right?
[16:11] ---
Uh-huh. Although I thought
I'd only hold her back.
[16:16] ---
No way! I wanted to be
in a Duo with you, Miyabi--
[16:21] ---
I'd like a trustworthy partner
to join forces with around here.
[16:26] ---
W-Wait a minute, Tachibana!
What about Julie? What happened there?
[16:31] ---
She did approach me, but I'd
already decided to pair with Miyabi.
[16:37] ---
I'm afraid I had to turn her down.
[16:40] ---
Then Julie...
[16:44] ---
Er... the Duo pledge, please?
[16:48] ---
Sorry, Tora!
[16:51] ---
No problem. Go!
[17:21] ---
One hour left...
[17:32] ---
Was that...?
[17:50] ---
Julie!
[17:56] ---
Tor... What is it?
[18:02] ---
What are you doing up here?
[18:08] ---
I thought... it'd be nice
if I could see Gimle from here.
[18:13] ---
Can you?
[18:18] ---
I heard Tachibana said no.
[18:22] ---
Why didn't you tell me?
[18:24] ---
Because talking about
it wouldn't change anything,
[18:28] ---
and because I didn't want to bother you.
[18:32] ---
We're a Duo--you can be straight with me.
[18:38] ---
Temporary or not, we're still a Duo.
I wish you'd lean on me more.
[18:50] ---
Julie...
[18:53] ---
...let's make our Duo official.
[18:58] ---
What about Tora?
[19:00] ---
He'll understand.
[19:03] ---
Tomoe might take it the wrong way again.
[19:06] ---
You can explain it to her when the time comes.
[19:09] ---
My written Japanese is terrible.
[19:11] ---
I'll teach you.
[19:13] ---
Um... er...
[19:17] ---
I'll drink up all your apple tea.
[19:21] ---
It's tastier when we drink it together.
[19:26] ---
I want to protect you, Julie.
To be your strength.
[19:31] ---
So please...
[19:34] ---
...be a Duo with me.
[19:43] ---
You don't mind pairing with me?
[19:49] ---
Mind? I want to.
[20:01] ---
Ja.
[20:06] ---
So bound, we two shall remain together always
[20:10] ---
to the best of our ability.
[20:12] ---
In joy, in sorrow, in health--
[20:20] ---
until death do us part.
[20:31] ---
The wind stops, having touched your back
[20:38] ---
As you walked all alone
[20:46] ---
The sound of bells echoes beside you
[20:54] ---
Loneliness melts away in time
[21:02] ---
Wishes to the skies, oaths to eternity: my soul
[21:10] ---
Though caught in the driving rain, we are two:
Just believe, believe, believe
[21:19] ---
Even the faintest voice will reach you--
that alone is enough
[21:27] ---
For even trembling hands
to hold a shining hope
[21:35] ---
Courage spread wide,
we breathe together and grab the sky
[21:42] ---
In my world, you're here
[22:00] ---
C'mon, you're sleepy. Let's get to bed.
[22:04] ---
Ja...
[22:08] ---
"Koryo Academy Student ID"
"Name: Julie Sigtuna"
[22:13] ---
Are you half asleep or what?
[22:15] ---
Nej. A Duo is always together.
[22:17] ---
They don't have to sleep together!
[22:19] ---
Nej. We swore. "Together always
to the best of our ability."
[22:25] ---
Look, we can't be sleeping in the same bed!
[22:28] ---
Nej. I sleep with my mama back home.
[22:32] ---
Oh. Oh, well, then.
[22:34] ---
Nooo no no no! I am not your mother!
[22:38] ---
You're special.
[22:41] ---
Uh... "special" how?
[22:44] ---
You feel like a papa to me.
[22:47] ---
Oh. A papa.
[22:49] ---
Can I sleep with you?
[22:53] ---
J-Just for tonight.
[22:55] ---
Ja.
[22:57] ---
This is gonna be a long night.
[22:59] ---
Tor?
[23:01] ---
Nothing. Good night, Julie.
[23:10] ---
Good night, Tor.
[23:13] ---
...do the bunny dance!
[23:25] ---
Now that our Duos are decided,
it's time for our first mock battle.
[23:29] ---
I hope we'll do okay.
[23:31] ---
No foe can stand up to the two of us, Miyabi!
[23:34] ---
Next time: "Avenger."
[23:35] ---
"Next time: Avenger"
[23:37] ---
But I've got a bad feeling about this...

[00:01] ---
Good mor-ning!
[00:03] ---
I'm sooo glad everyone worked out their Duos!
[00:06] ---
Now you'll be sitting in Duos, too--
[00:09] ---
sort of a fresh start, y'know?
[00:11] ---
Ooh, what's this? Looks like some
of you are keeping your seats!
[00:16] ---
Ja. We're highly compatible.
[00:20] ---
Our personalities!
We have compatible personalities!
[00:23] ---
Well, now that your official
Duos have been decided,
[00:26] ---
soon we'll move on to the
long-awaited mock Blaze battle:
[00:30] ---
your first Novgladius!
[00:31] ---
"Novgladius"
[00:33] ---
You might be wondering how it works!
[00:36] ---
You'll each be up against...
[00:38] ---
...everybody else!
[00:55] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:01] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:06] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:11] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:16] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:21] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:27] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:36] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[01:41] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[01:45] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[01:52] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[01:56] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:02] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:13] ---
"#3 Avenger"
[02:31] ---
Checkmate.
[02:33] ---
You got me.
[02:36] ---
That's four losses in a row.
[02:40] ---
Tor, your movements seem a little awkward.
[02:44] ---
I'm not used to this shield yet.
[02:47] ---
Oh, is that it?
[02:49] ---
But the Novgladius is
next Saturday, so... what can you do?
[02:55] ---
I have a suggestion.
[02:58] ---
About using your shield. Here, try to punch me.
[03:02] ---
Got it.
[03:06] ---
I!
[03:06] ---
Two!
[03:09] ---
Too close! Too close!
[03:11] ---
A step too far.
[03:14] ---
Try it from here.
[03:15] ---
On "I," step forward while
taking your opponent's attack,
[03:18] ---
and on "two," strike with Mjölnir.
[03:20] ---
"Mjölnir"?
[03:22] ---
I've named your right fist,
[03:26] ---
after the most powerful weapon
wielded by the thunder god Thor.
[03:30] ---
Now she's up and naming things.
[03:34] ---
What do you think?
[03:35] ---
I think it's a good idea.
[03:48] ---
This isn't a Blaze--if it connects,
it'll hurt for real.
[03:53] ---
I don't want to use it much.
[04:00] ---
I see...
[04:01] ---
But I think this way of
wielding my shield will work.
[04:06] ---
Will you practice with me?
[04:08] ---
Ja.
[04:18] ---
I... I made it...
[04:20] ---
Hey! Hotaka?!
[04:28] ---
Huh? I...
[04:31] ---
Oh, you came to!
[04:33] ---
Kokonoe...?
[04:37] ---
Wh-Wh-Why are you carrying me?! Let me go!
[04:41] ---
I'm getting down! Put me down!
[04:44] ---
Calm down, or you'll hurt yourself!
[04:46] ---
And... things keep
bumping into... other things!
[04:49] ---
Quit thrashing around!
[04:58] ---
Better?
[05:00] ---
S-Sorry.
[05:02] ---
Why, uh... how...
[05:05] ---
You'd collapsed. You don't remember?
[05:08] ---
No.
[05:10] ---
And you rescued me?
[05:13] ---
More or less. Let's get
you to the infirmary, just in case.
[05:18] ---
Thanks...
[05:23] ---
It's good to try hard... just not too hard.
[05:27] ---
What's up?
[05:29] ---
If I don't try my hardest,
I'll just hold Tomoe back.
[05:36] ---
I'm not particularly good at anything.
[05:40] ---
I'm awful at schoolwork
and physical activity both.
[05:43] ---
So when I learned I was
suited for a Lukifer, I was thrilled.
[05:49] ---
After all, we're one in a thousand.
[05:53] ---
But...
[05:55] ---
...with Tomoe and Julie and... and you...
[06:00] ---
...and all these amazing people here--
[06:02] ---
I feel like I really
don't have anything after all.
[06:06] ---
So you ran until you collapsed?
[06:09] ---
That was all I could think to do.
[06:13] ---
Gaining physical strength is the
most important part of getting stronger,
[06:17] ---
so running's not a bad idea.
[06:19] ---
Really?
[06:21] ---
Talent has nothing to do
with working on the basics.
[06:25] ---
So if you keep on running,
you're sure to get stronger.
[06:29] ---
Maybe don't overdo it, though.
[06:33] ---
Okay. Thanks, Kokonoe.
[07:08] ---
Tor...
[07:10] ---
Now then, let's review the Novgladius rules!
[07:14] ---
It will last two hours, from 5 PM to 7.
[07:16] ---
The place: the north end of the school grounds!
[07:19] ---
Fight face to face, drawing
on your Blaze's unique qualities,
[07:23] ---
or make it so that you have the advantage!
[07:26] ---
Good luck!
[07:28] ---
Here we go, Tor.
[07:31] ---
Are you sure about our strategy?
[07:34] ---
Ja. Go straight forward and
knock down whoever you find there.
[07:39] ---
We'll keep it simple.
[07:41] ---
We really are highly compatible.
[07:43] ---
Okay, here we go! Let the Novgladius begin!
[07:50] ---
C'mon, Julie!
[07:51] ---
Ja!
[07:52] ---
Blaze!
[08:20] ---
N-No way!
[08:31] ---
Ow ow ow...
[08:34] ---
I give up!
[08:36] ---
That's a win for us.
[08:37] ---
Ja.
[08:58] ---
Sneak attacks, mimicry, seduction...
[09:01] ---
So many different tactics.
[09:03] ---
Ja.
[09:05] ---
One hour left.
[09:08] ---
With so many Duos eliminated,
it'll be harder to find opponents.
[09:13] ---
Why don't we go somewhere we haven't been?
[09:16] ---
You mean...
[09:27] ---
Please be careful.
We're within striking distance.
[09:35] ---
Pretty rowdy hello you got there, Tachibana.
[09:40] ---
I figured you'd dodge that one.
[09:43] ---
I've been looking forward
to taking you two on.
[09:47] ---
Same here!
[09:49] ---
Well, then... Tachibana-Style Eighteen Arts:
[09:53] ---
Tomoe Tachibana attacks!
[10:06] ---
It figures...
[10:08] ---
The Tachibana School covers many martial arts.
[10:11] ---
This and judo are my particular specialties.
[10:16] ---
Okay, the gloves are off...
Tachibana Orochi Form!
[10:24] ---
Miyabi, you're up!
[10:26] ---
Blaze!
[10:38] ---
Kokonoe, Julia... prepare yourselves!
[10:45] ---
This is it, Kokonoe!
[10:48] ---
You take the back, Tor.
[10:50] ---
You bet! I've got this!
[10:52] ---
Come on!
[10:54] ---
Here goes, Kokonoe!
[11:06] ---
I... I can't...
[11:13] ---
I knew it... I'm just not--
[11:16] ---
I had no idea!
[11:18] ---
Pushing me back like that?
Nice blow, Hotaka.
[11:23] ---
Y-You think so?
[11:25] ---
Oh, yeah. There's no letting my
guard down now. I gotta work harder!
[11:31] ---
Me, too! I'll work harder, too!
Then I'll get stronger, and--
[11:39] ---
Yeah. We'll both do our best, Hotaka.
[11:44] ---
Uh-huh!
[11:51] ---
So this is you with your gloves off...
But I will not lose!
[11:57] ---
It's not over yet!
[12:05] ---
Checkmate.
[12:07] ---
You saw that blow coming from behind?
[12:11] ---
Ja. You're powerful,
so I have to stay alert at all times.
[12:18] ---
I am utterly defeated.
[12:22] ---
Let's give it all we've got--together.
[12:24] ---
Sure thing, Tomoe!
[12:29] ---
It looks like we have time for one more match.
[12:33] ---
I'd like to fight Tora and his partner...
[12:45] ---
Tora! Tatsu!
[12:47] ---
Are you all right?
[12:49] ---
Oh, Kokonoe!
[12:51] ---
Miss Tsukimi!
[12:53] ---
What on earth happened?
[12:55] ---
We just got here ourselves.
[12:58] ---
They need medical attention--right away.
[13:00] ---
Tora, are you okay? Tora!
[13:04] ---
Tora?
[13:07] ---
Behind you... Tor...
[13:16] ---
So close! Just a little more and
my Blaze would have sliced you in two!
[13:22] ---
Miss Tsukimi? But why?
[13:25] ---
Why?
[13:27] ---
Because I'm the one
who did this to them, of course!
[13:31] ---
No...
[13:32] ---
Are you all right, Tor?
[13:34] ---
Yeah...
[13:38] ---
You mean... a Blaze can--
[13:42] ---
Isn't it a little too convenient
that humans are the only things
[13:47] ---
these wall-breaking,
ground-smashing weapons can't harm?
[13:50] ---
Blaze power is the embodiment of the soul--
[13:54] ---
and one's mental attitude
can change in any number of ways!
[14:00] ---
Nice reaction!
[14:03] ---
So when you use a Blaze with
deadly intent, it can injure people?
[14:08] ---
You're a quick one, Silverlocks!
[14:14] ---
Lesson 1: A Blaze can in fact, kill a person!
[14:19] ---
But this is classified information,
so keep it to yourself, 'kay?
[14:24] ---
Moving on to Lesson 2:
[14:26] ---
What happens when a Blaze is destroyed?
[14:35] ---
Tora!
[14:36] ---
As we see here, the psyche
takes enough damage to knock you out
[14:39] ---
for an entire day.
[14:41] ---
But for having your spirit destroyed,
things could be a lot worse.
[14:47] ---
Why would you do such a thing?
[14:50] ---
All in a day's work!
[14:51] ---
Just dealing with some of
our most promising newcomers.
[14:56] ---
But that's enough chit-chat.
[15:01] ---
Time to kill you.
[15:06] ---
Above us!
[15:12] ---
Too slow!
[15:16] ---
Too bad, so sad!
[15:17] ---
C'mon, put some more
oomph into it if you don't want to die!
[15:23] ---
C'mon, don't conk out on me now!
[15:33] ---
It's over!
[15:37] ---
Julie... you okay?
[15:40] ---
Ja.
[15:41] ---
Can you really afford to
worry about anyone but yourself?
[15:47] ---
You're trying your best.
It's just not good enough.
[15:50] ---
Die, weakling!
[15:54] ---
She only died because she was weak.
[15:57] ---
Why, you...!
[16:07] ---
Oh, my! If only that had connected, am I right?
[16:12] ---
Your attack transition is too slow!
[16:28] ---
Are you all right?!
[16:29] ---
Yeah, but she's got me beat on strength...
[16:34] ---
...and me on speed.
[16:39] ---
We need one sure-hit strike,
one strike that will take her down.
[16:44] ---
If only we could be that lucky.
[16:53] ---
Tor?
[16:55] ---
So! Have you decided
which of you will die first?
[16:59] ---
Nej. I'll protect Tor!
[17:03] ---
And such a fledgling Duo, too!
What marvelous students...
[17:07] ---
You make your teacher proud!
[17:12] ---
Tor?!
[17:13] ---
I won't let you kill Julie! I'll keep her safe!
[17:17] ---
Okay, then, Irregular!
I guess I'll be slaughtering you first!
[17:26] ---
Take that! And that! And that!
[17:29] ---
You can't do it alone!
[17:31] ---
Stay back! Let me handle this!
[17:34] ---
Tor!
[17:35] ---
What's wrong? Go on--try to
dent this shield of mine!
[17:40] ---
Quit your bluffing!
[17:46] ---
You sure were tenacious.
But this is where you bid your life farewell.
[17:51] ---
If you've got any witty
last words, say them now!
[17:56] ---
All right, if you insist...
[18:01] ---
Julie, I--
[18:04] ---
What--are you confessing your love?!
[18:08] ---
Thanks for the laugh!
[18:10] ---
Now to slice you into two neat pieces!
[18:17] ---
What?!
[18:18] ---
Tor! Take two!
[18:21] ---
You're still too slow!
[18:26] ---
Don't tell me... you--
[18:27] ---
Thanks for the lecture, Professor!
[18:30] ---
Smash it, Mjölnir!
[18:47] ---
In celebration of our Novgladius victory.
[18:50] ---
Ja.
[18:51] ---
Ow ow ow...
[18:54] ---
You really picked up
on that last combination there.
[18:58] ---
Thanks to you, I was able to
focus enough to make my attack count.
[19:03] ---
We did practice the "I, two" thing a lot.
[19:07] ---
And only you would realize,
in the middle of all that,
[19:10] ---
that you could destroy Tsukimi's Blaze.
[19:13] ---
Well, with Tora and his partner
rescued and Tsukimi apprehended,
[19:17] ---
I think we're okay for now.
[19:19] ---
But why'd she say it was "all in a day's work"?
[19:23] ---
What could she have meant?
[19:27] ---
Not that you'd know!
[19:30] ---
Let's focus on tending your wounds for now.
[19:33] ---
Right.
[19:36] ---
Are you okay, Tor?
[19:42] ---
I'm sorry, Tor.
[19:43] ---
Kokonoe, Julie--we've brought some provisions.
[19:46] ---
How are your injuries?
[19:53] ---
K-Kokonoe, you dog!
[19:55] ---
No! This was an accident!
[19:57] ---
Kokonoe... I knew it...
[19:59] ---
Knew what?! Set them straight, Julie!
[20:13] ---
The wind stops, having touched your back
[20:21] ---
As you walked all alone
[20:29] ---
The sound of bells echoes beside you
[20:37] ---
Loneliness melts away in time
[20:45] ---
Wishes to the skies, oaths to eternity: my soul
[20:53] ---
Though caught in the driving rain, we are two:
Just believe, believe, believe
[21:02] ---
Even the faintest voice will reach you--
that alone is enough
[21:10] ---
For even trembling hands
to hold a shining hope
[21:18] ---
Courage spread wide,
we breathe together and grab the sky
[21:25] ---
In my world, you're here
[21:45] ---
What happened?
[21:49] ---
She only died because she was weak.
[22:02] ---
Tor...
[22:04] ---
Sorry. I was having a bad dream.
[22:09] ---
I'm going to get some fresh air.
You go back to sleep.
[22:29] ---
Who's Otoha?
[22:32] ---
In the throes of your nightmare, you said,
[22:36] ---
"Otoha... why?"
[22:40] ---
Forget about that.
[22:42] ---
Tell me. I won't forgive you if you don't.
[22:44] ---
Forget about it.
[22:46] ---
"I will kill you," you said.
[22:48] ---
Forget it!
[22:53] ---
Is that what you're after, Tor?
[22:56] ---
Is that why you took the Lukifer--the Blaze?
[23:05] ---
Julie?
[23:18] ---
I'm just like you:
[23:22] ---
an Avenger.
[23:25] ---
Julie, did you hear about the
new transfer student from England?
[23:29] ---
Nej. I don't have time for that right now.
[23:32] ---
Is something wrong?
[23:33] ---
Tomorrow I'm going shopping with Tor.
[23:36] ---
"Next time: Exception"
[23:36] ---
Next time: "Exception."
[23:38] ---
Is that a date?

[00:16] ---
Sarah, is everything ready?
[00:19] ---
Just as you asked, miss.
[00:21] ---
Thank you. Time to go meet my kindred.
[00:26] ---
The same as you, miss?
[00:30] ---
The same, yet different...
[00:33] ---
...as an Exception, that is.
[00:50] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[00:55] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:00] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:05] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:10] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:15] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:21] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:30] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[01:35] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[01:40] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[01:46] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[01:50] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[01:56] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:08] ---
I'm just like you: an Avenger.
[02:15] ---
A dream? No--that was real.
[02:15] ---
"#4 Exception"
[02:20] ---
Julie and me, we're both...
[02:22] ---
Aven--
[02:26] ---
What's this?
[02:33] ---
Wh-Why is Julie...
[02:41] ---
S-So soft... No! Wait!
[02:44] ---
Tor?
[02:45] ---
J-Julie?! I, er...
[02:47] ---
You...
[02:51] ---
Wait! C-C-Calm down and hear me o--
[02:58] ---
I'm so sorry.
[03:01] ---
I didn't expect you to be sleeping next to me,
[03:04] ---
and when I happened to move my hand...
[03:06] ---
Sorry.
[03:07] ---
So if you hadn't done that,
you wouldn't even know they were there?
[03:11] ---
Th-That's not it! It's my overwhelming
lack of experience with women!
[03:16] ---
It's my first time touching a
girl's chest, and it was just so soft...
[03:20] ---
What am I saying?!
[03:22] ---
Nej. It was my fault.
[03:25] ---
Remembering the past
yesterday made me so lonely.
[03:30] ---
I'm sorry.
[03:31] ---
Julie... No, I'm still
the one in the wrong here.
[03:35] ---
I'm so sorry!
[03:42] ---
That's right--I forgot to tell you something.
[03:45] ---
Good morning, Tor.
[03:49] ---
Yeah--good morning, Julie.
[03:51] ---
"Koryo Academy"
[03:57] ---
Morning!
[03:58] ---
G-Good morning, Kokonoe, Julie.
[04:05] ---
Huh?
[04:08] ---
What are you two doing here?
[04:11] ---
Oh, it's you.
[04:13] ---
Don't be letting such light
injuries keep you in bed forever.
[04:17] ---
But she did hurt you two pretty badly.
[04:21] ---
Lukifers increase your body's curative power,
[04:24] ---
but it's still best not to overdo things.
[04:26] ---
"She"? So Tachibana knows about it, too?
[04:31] ---
Yeah. When we didn't come back,
[04:34] ---
she and Hotaka got
worried and came to check on us.
[04:38] ---
They handled first aid, too.
[04:41] ---
Oh, yeah? Tachibana, Hotaka... thanks.
[04:48] ---
What is it, Tor?
[04:50] ---
Tora actually bowed to someone!
[04:53] ---
What do you take me for, anyway?!
[04:57] ---
S-Sorry about that!
[04:58] ---
It's fine. Just because his name means "tiger"
[05:00] ---
doesn't mean he bites.
[05:01] ---
What weird picture of me
do you have in your head?!
[05:06] ---
I wonder why Miss Tsukimi got so violent.
[05:10] ---
She said it was "all in a day's work."
[05:13] ---
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious.
[05:16] ---
But we probably won't
ever see her again, so--
[05:19] ---
Good mor-ning!
[05:20] ---
Is everyone well-rested after the Novgladius?
[05:23] ---
Expect another no-holds-barred class today!
[05:32] ---
Wait!
[05:34] ---
Oh, dear! What seems to be
the problem? Class is about to start!
[05:42] ---
Don't look so fierce.
[05:44] ---
It's only morning, and you're
getting me all fired up!
[05:47] ---
Why are you here?
[05:51] ---
Now, now, Kokonoe! Be more
polite when speaking to your teachers!
[05:57] ---
That's a little much to ask
from someone you tried to kill!
[06:00] ---
True enough! But let's not do this now.
[06:04] ---
Our education-mad headmaster is here.
[06:12] ---
What's the meaning of this?!
[06:14] ---
We have rehired Rito Tsukimi as an instructor.
[06:19] ---
Hang on--she tried to kill us!
[06:23] ---
But you are alive. Even after having
taken on someone as strong as she.
[06:30] ---
I have assessed her skill as an educator
[06:32] ---
in bringing her students to
that level in such a short time.
[06:36] ---
Ooh, yes! Very "this is Sparta"!
[06:41] ---
But aren't you just deciding that in hindsight?
[06:45] ---
Only having seen the
kind of outcome I'm looking for--
[06:49] ---
no matter the process or
the means it took to get there.
[06:56] ---
All in the name of reaching
Absolute Duo--that and that alone.
[07:03] ---
And...
[07:05] ---
...in the next few days, we will
hold a Level 2 Rite of Sublimation
[07:09] ---
for you six.
[07:12] ---
Trying to shut us up, eh?
[07:13] ---
It's only what you're entitled to
for having excelled in the Novgladius.
[07:23] ---
Earlier I told you that Lukifers have levels.
[07:27] ---
Now for some very important details;
[07:28] ---
No matter the process or the means... hmm.
[07:30] ---
get those pencils ready!
[07:33] ---
Ready? Each level gained multiplies
your powers by two or more.
[07:38] ---
One level is one thing, but at
two levels higher than your opponent,
[07:42] ---
it's pretty hopeless!
[07:43] ---
So be careful who you pick fights with, 'kay?
[08:01] ---
You're the Irregular--Tor Kokonoe.
[08:07] ---
Oh! Uh, yeah, I'm Tor Kokonoe...
[08:10] ---
Okay. Then come with me.
[08:14] ---
Hey, I'm in the middle of class here.
[08:17] ---
Don't make me tell you again.
[08:18] ---
I have special permission--right, Miss Tsukimi?
[08:23] ---
Go ahead.
[08:25] ---
Whatever you need Tor for,
you can take care of it here.
[08:28] ---
This has nothing to do with you.
[08:31] ---
I'd like to speak somewhere with less... noise.
[08:39] ---
Fine...
[08:40] ---
Tor?
[08:41] ---
I'll be right back.
[08:43] ---
Lend me your notebook later, okay?
[08:47] ---
I'd almost forgotten:
[08:51] ---
I'm Lilith Bristol, transfer student
from the England campus.
[08:56] ---
I shall permit you all
to call me by my first name.
[09:09] ---
Uh, thanks.
[09:15] ---
This is really good!
[09:16] ---
Isn't it? Sarah's tea is outstanding.
[09:21] ---
Thank you, miss.
[09:23] ---
Wish Julie could try it.
[09:26] ---
Now, then...
[09:28] ---
Tor Kokonoe, starting today,
you shall be my Duo.
[09:33] ---
Huh? What was that?
[09:36] ---
Don't make me tell you again.
[09:38] ---
Tell me--hang on a second, Lilith.
I already have a Duo.
[09:44] ---
I know that. But it doesn't matter.
[09:47] ---
I am special: an Exception.
[09:52] ---
An Exception? What's that?
[09:56] ---
Back in England, I heard rumors of the Irregular
[10:00] ---
and specifically transferred
here because of you.
[10:02] ---
You should be grateful.
[10:04] ---
Yes, well, I'm not so sure.
[10:07] ---
Wait--you didn't come here
just to be in a Duo with me, did you?!
[10:12] ---
Precisely. Like me,
you are unique, an Unrivaled.
[10:17] ---
Therefore, you are well suited to be my Duo.
[10:22] ---
Now hang on a minute.
[10:24] ---
The school rules forbid breaking up a Duo.
[10:28] ---
So what? Those rules don't apply to me.
[10:32] ---
I'm allowed to do what I like.
That's an Exception.
[10:39] ---
So what do you say?
Not that you need to think it over.
[10:45] ---
You're right, I don't.
[10:47] ---
Then it's settled.
[10:49] ---
Yeah. I don't want to partner with you,
[10:52] ---
and I don't want to break up my current Duo.
[10:56] ---
Thanks for the tea--it was delicious.
[11:00] ---
Wait, Tor Kokonoe!
Do you realize what you're saying?!
[11:05] ---
To borrow a phrase:
[11:07] ---
Don't make me tell you again.
[11:10] ---
The answer is no.
[11:19] ---
Okay, last ten laps!
[11:22] ---
Are you nuts?! Each lap is four kilometers!
[11:24] ---
You expect me to run a
full marathon? You're a monster!
[11:27] ---
I'm no monster--I'm a bunny!
[11:30] ---
Maybe I can't do anything about Miss Priss,
[11:32] ---
but I can sure punish you for skipping class!
[11:37] ---
This is so unfair!
[11:43] ---
Dammit... that nasty vorpal bunny...
[11:47] ---
Tor?
[11:48] ---
J-Julie?
[11:49] ---
You forgot your bath towel.
[11:52] ---
Oh, did I? Thanks. Just leave it there.
[11:55] ---
Ja.
[11:58] ---
Um... I can't get out if you're standing there.
[12:02] ---
Oh. Right.
[12:11] ---
You're having some, aren't you?
[12:12] ---
Ja, please.
[12:22] ---
Delicious again today.
[12:23] ---
Uh, yeah...
[12:25] ---
By the way, Tor...
[12:27] ---
Can we sleep together tonight?
[12:30] ---
J-Julie! That was supposed
to be a one-time thing...
[12:39] ---
Uh-oh... this is not good!
[12:41] ---
Tor?
[12:42] ---
I-I-I know! Hey, Julie, want to
go somewhere on our next break?
[12:47] ---
I mean, we've never left the school grounds!
[12:50] ---
We sure could use a change of pace!
What do you say?
[12:54] ---
Ja. I'd like that.
[12:56] ---
Great! Where should we go? Any requests?
[13:00] ---
To buy some new things to wear.
I only brought winter clothes.
[13:06] ---
Got it. Let's do that, then.
[13:12] ---
Yesss! Distraction: success!
[13:14] ---
Tor?
[13:16] ---
Let's get some sleep.
[13:20] ---
Ja...
[13:31] ---
Look, Tor, a flock of seagulls.
I see a big city out that way, too.
[13:38] ---
That's where we're headed today.
[13:40] ---
Then I recommend the
A La Mode shopping mall.
[13:44] ---
Great--thanks. Hey, if you're free,
want to come along?
[13:50] ---
B-But I'm not emotionally
ready to go on a date!
[13:54] ---
We're buying clothes for Julie
and could use another girl's opinion.
[13:58] ---
Huh? For... Julie?
[14:03] ---
Um, er, sorry! I've got
plans with Tomoe that day.
[14:07] ---
Okay. Next time, then.
[14:10] ---
Oh... uh-huh.
[14:13] ---
Hotaka told me all about the best spots in town.
[14:17] ---
Ja. She's very kind.
[14:27] ---
"Central Court" "Kids' Plaza"
[14:29] ---
It's like a festival.
[14:31] ---
Stay with me, now.
[14:34] ---
Julie?
[14:34] ---
T-Tor!
[14:38] ---
Wait! Julie!
[14:46] ---
Thank you very much.
[14:49] ---
No--I should have known better.
[14:53] ---
S-Sorry!
[14:56] ---
Julie?
[14:58] ---
So we don't get separated.
[15:01] ---
Sure.
[15:12] ---
Isn't she gorgeous?
[15:14] ---
Just like a doll!
[15:16] ---
They're looking at us.
[15:18] ---
Tor, what about that store over there?
[15:22] ---
Wow...
[15:24] ---
Sure, want to?
[15:26] ---
Ja.
[15:31] ---
Let me just try this on.
[15:34] ---
You have such a cute girlfriend!
[15:37] ---
Uh... yeah...
[15:38] ---
You're a lucky man! Are you two on a date?
[15:45] ---
Oh, my!
[15:46] ---
What do you think, Tor?
[15:50] ---
I-It looks great on you.
[15:52] ---
Thank you. I'll take it.
[15:56] ---
That was fast! Don't you
want to try on anything else?
[15:59] ---
Good idea! We have
lots of other charming pieces!
[16:03] ---
Ja. All right.
[16:08] ---
That's a good one. Really good.
[16:10] ---
I'll take it.
[16:13] ---
Mmm, cute!
[16:15] ---
And this one, too.
[16:19] ---
Looks, uh, nice and cool.
[16:21] ---
Then I'll take it.
[16:23] ---
And this one? What about this one?
Just try it on--that's all I ask!
[16:26] ---
You don't even have to buy it!
[16:28] ---
Since when?!
[16:31] ---
May I use this?
[16:33] ---
Yes, we gladly accept
Koryo Academy student cards.
[16:38] ---
You kind of overdid it, eh?
[16:40] ---
Nej. They're all lovely
clothes that you said you liked.
[16:48] ---
Your clothes'll be sent to the school,
[16:50] ---
so since we're here, how about a little stroll?
[16:53] ---
Ja. Let's do that.
[17:14] ---
Here you go.
[17:16] ---
Strawberry for you, right?
[17:19] ---
Something wrong?
[17:20] ---
It's nothing. Thank you.
[17:24] ---
Oh, okay. Then let's eat.
[17:27] ---
Hotaka recommended the gelato here.
[17:30] ---
Then it's sure to be good.
[17:36] ---
It's very tasty.
[17:39] ---
Good!
[17:40] ---
What did you get?
[17:42] ---
Rum raisin. Want a bite?
[17:45] ---
Ja, please.
[17:49] ---
You're kidding.
[17:56] ---
I can't--not in public!
[17:59] ---
Papa and Mama always did this with me.
[18:11] ---
Say "ahhh"...
[18:22] ---
Delicious.
[18:24] ---
Ah. Good.
[18:27] ---
Now you try mine.
[18:30] ---
Tor, say "ahhh."
[18:33] ---
N-No, I'm fine, thanks.
[18:45] ---
Can we be done now?
[18:49] ---
Nja.
[18:51] ---
"Nja"?
[18:55] ---
Wait--could it be... the rum raisin?
[18:59] ---
Still, there's no denying...
[19:01] ---
J-Julie? Are you feeling feverish?
[19:04] ---
Njej. Not feberidge at ow.
[19:07] ---
So you are drunk!
[19:09] ---
Yam not drrrunk.
[19:11] ---
How many fingers am I holding up?
[19:15] ---
I shee free of you.
[19:17] ---
That settles it! Stay with me, Julie!
[19:20] ---
You okay? Should I get some water?
[19:23] ---
Th-Their faces sure are close together!
[19:26] ---
Calm down, Miyabi! Are you sure
they're not actually dating?
[19:32] ---
Uh-huh. They invited me along,
so I'm pretty sure. Still...
[19:36] ---
I-Is that so...
[19:38] ---
But since there's still a
suspicion of illicit sexual activity,
[19:41] ---
let's monitor them a little longer.
[19:46] ---
Hey, you two here by yourselves?
Come hang out with us!
[19:52] ---
No, thanks. Come on, Miyabi.
[19:56] ---
C'mon, just for a little while!
We won't do anything weird!
[20:00] ---
You dog!
[20:00] ---
Ow!
[20:02] ---
Hey, what are you doin'?
Now you have to come with us!
[20:06] ---
He started it!
[20:09] ---
Say what?! Watch your mouth, bitch!
[20:11] ---
Stand back, Miyabi.
[20:13] ---
Tomoe...
[20:17] ---
Hey, knock it off!
[20:19] ---
Huh? You little brat!
[20:21] ---
K-Kokonoe...
[20:23] ---
And you too, Julie?
[20:25] ---
Nja.
[20:28] ---
They're both with me, so if you've got
something to say, say it to me.
[20:31] ---
Showin' off in front of these girls, huh?
[20:50] ---
Lilith?!
[20:52] ---
And is that...
[21:01] ---
Did you just hear something odd?
[21:04] ---
Hey, those guys've collapsed!
[21:14] ---
A... a rifle Blaze...
[21:18] ---
So that's an Exception.
[21:35] ---
Lightly
[21:36] ---
Quickly
[21:37] ---
Gently
[21:38] ---
Softly
[21:39] ---
Pale
[21:40] ---
White
[21:40] ---
Our future together
[21:42] ---
Flicker
[21:43] ---
Bounce
[21:44] ---
Float
[21:45] ---
Sink
[21:46] ---
Leap
[21:47] ---
Align
[21:48] ---
The rhythm of our hearts
[21:50] ---
It started with a little chat
[21:53] ---
Our views surprisingly the same
[21:57] ---
It started with a clash, I suppose
[22:00] ---
Kind of a roundabout way
[22:04] ---
I want us to be friends
(When we fight, I understand)
[22:08] ---
But
(Things I didn't see at first)
[22:10] ---
That's too easy
[22:12] ---
The taste of apple tea
[22:18] ---
Lonely?
[22:20] ---
I never thought about it much
[22:25] ---
But I've noticed
[22:28] ---
I'm lonely without you
[22:31] ---
Tomorrow we'll be happy, happy
[22:35] ---
Tomorrow, too: happy, happy
[22:39] ---
Someday we'll be happy happy
[22:42] ---
Every day: happy happy
[22:55] ---
How's that one, Julie?
[22:56] ---
Talk about timing! We just happened
to see you picking out underwear.
[23:01] ---
Thanks for letting us
do a little friendly meddling.
[23:04] ---
It seems to be gapping a bit.
[23:07] ---
Better to find one
that fits you properly, Julie.
[23:11] ---
Ja. I'll go get another one.
[23:16] ---
K-Kokonoe, you skeev!
[23:18] ---
You dog!
[23:22] ---
This is so unfair!
[23:25] ---
Nice to meet you! I'm Lilith Bristol.
[23:28] ---
Do it cuter!
[23:29] ---
I'm Lilith!
[23:30] ---
What's she doing?
[23:32] ---
Good question.
[23:33] ---
Next time: "Level Up."
[23:33] ---
"Next time: Level Up"
[23:35] ---
Kick it up a notch!
[23:36] ---
Lilith here!
[23:38] ---
Just what are you making me do?!

[00:00] ---
I don't usually wake up this early.
[00:02] ---
It's kind of a nice feeling, though, isn't it?
[00:04] ---
It is!
[00:06] ---
A rifle Blaze? Are you sure
there isn't some kind of mistake?
[00:10] ---
I'm sure. That was definitely a Blaze.
[00:23] ---
But a Blaze can't manifest as
any weapon with a complex structure.
[00:30] ---
That might be why
she's called an Exception.
[00:35] ---
An Exception?
[00:38] ---
In any case,
[00:41] ---
it looks like Lilith is out again today.
[00:51] ---
The Exception and the Irregular...
[00:56] ---
This is fate... Tor Kokonoe.
[01:15] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:20] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:26] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:31] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:36] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:41] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:47] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:55] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[02:01] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:05] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:12] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:16] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:21] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:33] ---
"#5 Level Up"
[02:50] ---
Wow! So that's the power of Level 2, huh?
[02:53] ---
She really is on a whole other level!
[02:56] ---
Guess we've got to try harder!
[02:58] ---
Yeah!
[03:01] ---
Level 2... so that's what
the Rite of Sublimation does.
[03:11] ---
Honestly, I never
really felt like I'd leveled up.
[03:27] ---
I guess it does give you
more speed and power than before.
[03:43] ---
Amazing! You've got a major lead!
[03:49] ---
I-I guess I do. Me--in the lead!
[03:53] ---
That's fantastic, Hotaka. Here.
[03:56] ---
Oh... uh-huh.
[04:04] ---
Um... it's probably because
you've been cheering me on.
[04:09] ---
So thank you.
[04:11] ---
I didn't do anything. You're the
one who's been working so hard.
[04:16] ---
Not really...
[04:18] ---
Hey, uh, Kokonoe?
[04:21] ---
Kokonoe's right, Miyabi.
[04:24] ---
Tomoe!
[04:25] ---
You can't Sublimate if your
physical and spiritual strength
[04:28] ---
don't match your new level.
[04:30] ---
You deserve to be proud!
[04:33] ---
That's right! Me, I leveled up
ages ago, and now I'm in the top tier!
[04:38] ---
Right, Kokonoe?
[04:40] ---
Why are you asking me?!
[04:44] ---
K-Kokonoe... that look you're giving us...
[04:49] ---
You dog!
[04:50] ---
You've got the wrong idea!
[05:07] ---
Ah! I expected nothing less.
[05:12] ---
She's not coming up.
[05:15] ---
Is Julie--
[05:24] ---
Julie!
[05:30] ---
I'm sorry. We don't swim back in Gimle.
[05:35] ---
I thought I could just do
what I'd seen others do, but...
[05:39] ---
I never saw that coming.
Julie is actually bad at something?
[05:44] ---
There's a first time for everything.
[05:47] ---
But you should take it
easy today. Just rest, okay?
[05:51] ---
Ja...
[05:58] ---
You'll catch a cold if you
stay sopping wet like that.
[06:02] ---
Tor...
[06:06] ---
What say we take our new levels out for a spin?
[06:10] ---
Oh, you'll get what's coming to you.
[06:19] ---
Now I kind of wish I couldn't swim, either.
[06:30] ---
Tor, please teach me to swim.
[06:33] ---
I should. We'll probably
have summer lessons, and--
[06:38] ---
Sorry! You go on ahead!
[06:41] ---
Tor?
[06:51] ---
Another outstanding brew, Sarah.
[06:53] ---
Thank you, miss.
[06:55] ---
What are you doing?
[07:00] ---
Can't you tell? I'm enjoying my afternoon tea.
[07:04] ---
That's not what I mean.
You haven't been in class.
[07:07] ---
Is everything all right?
[07:09] ---
I completed my high-school studies ages ago.
[07:13] ---
This academy is just a way for me to kill time.
[07:18] ---
So you must have good grades.
[07:21] ---
Still, you'll never make friends like this.
[07:27] ---
Aren't you sweet. Wasn't it only yesterday
[07:30] ---
you jumped out in
front of a girl to protect her?
[07:33] ---
It's only right to help your friends.
[07:38] ---
I suppose I don't hate that about you.
[07:43] ---
Listen, I need to ask you something.
About yesterday. Why did you--
[07:46] ---
Just a moment.
[07:49] ---
If you'd like an answer
to that question... I know:
[08:00] ---
Come with me--right now.
[08:02] ---
Miss!
[08:06] ---
Don't make me tell you again.
[08:18] ---
That Kokonoe has a lot of nerve playing hooky!
[08:25] ---
I wonder what happened to him.
[08:27] ---
It's utterly disgraceful.
[08:31] ---
Tor...
[08:34] ---
Look! Turner! It's Turner!
[08:36] ---
When you said "come with me,"
[08:38] ---
I never thought it'd be to a theme park!
[08:40] ---
"Theme park"? I beg your pardon!
[08:42] ---
This is a dark fantasy
world of love and nightmares:
[08:46] ---
This is Deathnewland!
[08:53] ---
Could you turn it down a notch?!
[08:55] ---
How can I? I've been planning
a visit ever since I knew
[08:58] ---
I'd be coming to Japan!
[09:00] ---
Oh! Rogers! It's really him!
I've got to take a picture!
[09:07] ---
Come on!
[09:09] ---
B-But where?
[09:14] ---
Whoa! Hang on a second--wait!
[09:16] ---
And why would we do that?
Onward to Deathnewland!
[09:56] ---
Over there!
[09:58] ---
Turner!
[10:00] ---
Oh, Turner, you're so adorable!
I'm so glad I met you, Turner!
[10:06] ---
3, 2, 1:
[10:10] ---
How's that?
[10:25] ---
For an Exceed, you sure look a mess.
[10:28] ---
My exhaustion is more mental than physical.
[10:32] ---
Oh! Let's go there next! C'mon!
[11:02] ---
You're amazing!
[11:04] ---
I should be. Hunting's been
my hobby since I was a child.
[11:10] ---
Hunting as a hobby?
It's like a whole other world...
[11:14] ---
Really? It's not rare at all where I'm from.
[11:21] ---
I've dismantled and assembled
guns time and time again.
[11:25] ---
You ought to know everything
about a weapon that can take life,
[11:28] ---
a weapon you entrust your own life to.
[11:32] ---
Guns are the weapon I'm most familiar with.
[11:37] ---
It's like guns are my soul.
[11:41] ---
Your soul...
[11:44] ---
Isn't your Blaze the same way?
[11:47] ---
My Blaze?
[11:53] ---
Behind you!
[11:59] ---
Nicely done!
[12:02] ---
"Tor" "Lilith"
[12:03] ---
Congratulations! You two
have our highest score!
[12:11] ---
I got a Rogers! This is
a park exclusive, you know.
[12:17] ---
You're like a little kid!
[12:19] ---
That's a low blow.
[12:34] ---
Didn't you say you had something to ask me?
[12:39] ---
Why did you use your Blaze in
front of all those people yesterday?
[12:43] ---
Oh, that? It's only natural
to show your Blaze to your Duo.
[12:54] ---
I was so excited to learn you
were the wielder of an Unrivaled Blaze.
[12:59] ---
To find out I wasn't the
only one in the whole world.
[13:03] ---
Then I felt it:
[13:06] ---
You, the Irregular, are the only Duo for me.
[13:10] ---
The only one? But...
[13:19] ---
My gun fires on the foe;
your shield blocks their blades.
[13:24] ---
Just like a guardian knight.
[13:28] ---
And so...
[13:30] ---
I'll break my own rules to say this:
[13:34] ---
Be my Duo, Tor Kokonoe.
[14:29] ---
Well, it is past curfew.
[14:33] ---
Tor... Tor!
[14:41] ---
Welcome back, Tor.
[14:44] ---
Thanks, Julie. I needed that.
[14:53] ---
The resident advisor's on patrol.
[15:15] ---
I, uh... I'm sorry I'm late.
[15:19] ---
Nej. It's no problem at all,
[15:21] ---
as long as you're all right.
[15:27] ---
Actually... I was out with Lilith.
[15:33] ---
Were you?
[15:37] ---
And... she asked me if I'd be her Duo.
[15:44] ---
But...
[15:55] ---
Sorry. I already have a Duo
who means a lot to me. I can't be yours.
[16:02] ---
B-But that's...
[16:04] ---
I swore--to her and to myself--
[16:08] ---
that I'd stand by her.
[16:20] ---
My feelings aren't about to change.
[16:29] ---
I'll never forgive you for
rejecting my invitation twice.
[16:44] ---
And now she hates my guts.
[16:48] ---
She did actually ask me to be her Duo before,
[16:52] ---
and I just didn't want you to worry...
[16:54] ---
I'm sorry I kept something
so important from you.
[16:58] ---
Nej. You're your own person, Tor.
But more than that...
[17:07] ---
Thank you. For choosing me.
[17:11] ---
N-No... I mean, thank you.
[17:20] ---
Let's head back. It's getting chilly.
[17:24] ---
Then...
[17:26] ---
Julie?
[17:28] ---
I'll do this to warm up.
[17:36] ---
Yeah... nice and toasty.
[17:39] ---
Ja.
[17:48] ---
I wonder if Kokonoe is back yet.
[17:52] ---
Ready for your bath, Miyabi?
[17:55] ---
Yeah.
[17:57] ---
He's gotta be okay... right?
[18:03] ---
H-Hey, now! Listen, uh...
[18:08] ---
Er... could you do that in the bathroom?
[18:16] ---
Yeah, of course! What am I doing?
[18:31] ---
This is so unfair.
[18:34] ---
Now that the naughty student
who skipped class yesterday
[18:37] ---
has been duly punished,
[18:39] ---
I have an announcement!
[18:41] ---
It's time to take on the second-year
students in an interclass battle!
[18:45] ---
Yes, none other than...
[18:47] ---
...the Mordraco!
[18:48] ---
"Mordraco"
[18:54] ---
The Mordraco?
[18:56] ---
But this time you won't fight other Duos,
but rather class against class:
[19:02] ---
all the first-years against
a select group of second-years!
[19:11] ---
If you think you've got the upper
hand because there are more of you,
[19:15] ---
boy, have you got another thing coming!
[19:17] ---
Those second-years are all at Level 2 or 3!
[19:21] ---
In other words, some of
them are on par with me.
[19:27] ---
So! Without a firm strategy,
you'll get the snot kicked out of you!
[19:32] ---
So do your best! Go get 'em!
[19:35] ---
She's just so casual about it!
[19:38] ---
Not that they won't give
us a run for our money, I'm sure.
[19:44] ---
If we have to fight, I want
to take the best they've got.
[19:47] ---
Ja. We're stronger than we used to be.
[19:52] ---
I'll beat anyone I fight, no matter their level!
[19:57] ---
Wh-Why is everyone so excited about this?
[20:01] ---
I get where they're coming from,
but this is a group battle.
[20:05] ---
I wish they'd put more focus on a class victory.
[20:10] ---
Who are you?
[20:14] ---
Lilith!
[20:16] ---
I hate to interrupt, but can we
get the Mordraco underway right now?
[20:22] ---
I shall take you on alone
as the first-year representative.
[20:26] ---
The Mordraco, alone? Are you pulling my leg?
[20:30] ---
What's the rush?
[20:33] ---
Very well... then how's this?
[20:43] ---
A rifle Blaze!
[20:48] ---
Now, who wants to be hunted next?
[21:07] ---
Lightly
[21:08] ---
Quickly
[21:09] ---
Gently
[21:10] ---
Softly
[21:11] ---
Pale
[21:12] ---
White
[21:12] ---
Our future together
[21:14] ---
Flicker
[21:15] ---
Bounce
[21:16] ---
Float
[21:17] ---
Sink
[21:18] ---
Leap
[21:19] ---
Align
[21:20] ---
The rhythm of our hearts
[21:22] ---
It started with a little chat
[21:25] ---
Our views surprisingly the same
[21:29] ---
It started with a clash, I suppose
[21:32] ---
Kind of a roundabout way
[21:36] ---
I want us to be friends
(When we fight, I understand)
[21:40] ---
But
(Things I didn't see at first)
[21:42] ---
That's too easy
[21:44] ---
The taste of apple tea
[21:50] ---
Lonely?
[21:52] ---
I never thought about it much
[21:57] ---
But I've noticed
[22:00] ---
I'm lonely without you
[22:04] ---
Tomorrow we'll be happy, happy
[22:07] ---
Tomorrow, too: happy, happy
[22:11] ---
Someday we'll be happy happy
[22:15] ---
Every day: happy happy
[22:31] ---
What's with her?
[22:33] ---
This is a problem.
[22:38] ---
I realize you're an Exception...
[22:41] ---
...but now my carefully prepared
Mordraco has been ruined.
[22:45] ---
Not to worry. Instead, to deepen
ties with my classmates,
[22:49] ---
I shall hold a dance party.
[22:52] ---
I, the host, shall entertain you all.
[22:56] ---
We shall dress up in Blazes,
and dance to the clash of weapons.
[23:02] ---
You mean to take on all the first-years alone?
[23:06] ---
Aren't you a feisty little princess!
[23:10] ---
And the title of our dance tune... hmm.
[23:19] ---
I know: "Survive."
[23:25] ---
A fellow extraordinary
Unrivaled with a rifle Blaze...
[23:30] ---
We can't let down our guard.
[23:31] ---
Ja, I know. We'll take her down.
[23:34] ---
Julie?
[23:35] ---
Next time: "Survive."
[23:35] ---
"Next time: Survive"
[23:37] ---
I've got your back, Tor.

[00:24] ---
Yes!
[00:33] ---
Damn! Our sneak attack was a bust!
[00:35] ---
Then we'll just have to go for it!
[01:11] ---
Tor Kokonoe...
[01:13] ---
Lilith.
[01:15] ---
Now, let us dance...
[01:18] ---
...the Survive--to the accompaniment
of clashing swords and smoking guns.
[01:35] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:41] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:46] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:51] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:56] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[02:01] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[02:07] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[02:16] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[02:21] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:26] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:32] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:36] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:42] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:53] ---
"#6 Survive"
[02:55] ---
I didn't think we'd meet like this.
[02:57] ---
What a pleasant surprise.
[02:59] ---
Now, let's get down to business.
[03:03] ---
Before we do, can I have a word?
[03:06] ---
What?
[03:11] ---
I'm sorry for turning down your Duo request.
[03:13] ---
I never did apologize properly
back then... and I'm sorry.
[03:17] ---
Why bring that up now? You think
I'm going to go easy on you?
[03:23] ---
No, I hope you don't. I want to
fight you at full strength.
[03:27] ---
Eh?
[03:29] ---
If we both clash at full power,
we'll understand each other after.
[03:33] ---
Once we acknowledge
each other, we can be friends.
[03:36] ---
That's how I see it, anyway.
[03:38] ---
What are you, an idiot?
[03:40] ---
Sometimes I think I might be.
[03:43] ---
But this is the only way I can do things.
[03:48] ---
Fine. I just wonder if you can
keep up with me at full power!
[04:02] ---
Quit breaking things!
The poor shopkeeper!
[04:05] ---
Relax. I'll fix it up so it's better than new.
[04:11] ---
Pretty reckless to rent out all of
A La Mode for your Survive battle!
[04:16] ---
But it's a party!
[04:19] ---
Much more fun than school, don't you think?
[04:26] ---
Just this side of manageable at this distance.
[04:28] ---
Wow, calculating the trajectory
from the angle of the barrel? Nice!
[04:33] ---
You ain't seen nothing yet!
[04:48] ---
Cut her down!
[04:53] ---
Julie? She's early!
[04:55] ---
Using decoys and an ambush
to induce me to dodge here,
[05:01] ---
then finishing me off with
a blow from your best fighter?
[05:04] ---
Someone put this together right!
[05:06] ---
However...
[05:13] ---
You need to put more thought into
an Exceed's physical capabilities.
[05:17] ---
If her timing hadn't been off,
I might have been in a spot of trouble.
[05:22] ---
Tor Kokonoe, you seem rather amusing.
[05:26] ---
I shall leave you for my main course.
[05:39] ---
Ow...
[05:42] ---
You okay, Hotaka?
[05:44] ---
K-Kokonoe...
[05:47] ---
Thank you.
[05:51] ---
D-Did you see anything?
[05:54] ---
Nope. You can rest easy.
[06:01] ---
Was that...
[06:04] ---
Let's work out what we'll do next--and fast.
[06:12] ---
"Sky" "Central Court" "Standby"
"Green" "Beach" "Lilith Start"
[06:13] ---
Right now, Lilith is fighting
in the Sky Court up ahead.
[06:17] ---
We either go after her or
we wait here to intercept her.
[06:22] ---
We go after her, obviously!
[06:23] ---
No objections here.
[06:27] ---
I-I'll do my best!
[06:30] ---
Something wrong, Julie?
[06:33] ---
Nej. I'm with you, Tor.
[06:36] ---
Oh, okay.
[06:38] ---
Then it's settled.
[06:40] ---
There are two routes into the Sky Court.
[06:43] ---
Kokonoe, you three take the main route.
[06:46] ---
We'll go the long way in hopes
of attacking her from both sides.
[06:54] ---
Tor...
[06:55] ---
Don't tell me... it's over already?
[07:03] ---
Where are you?!
[07:04] ---
If you're going to fire...
[07:10] ---
Tatsu!
[07:15] ---
I happen to be quite
skilled in hunter's camouflage.
[07:25] ---
Listen, you're the main dish.
Be a good boy and wait already!
[07:30] ---
Sorry--I can't stand waiting!
[07:32] ---
And I can't stand impatient men!
[07:38] ---
She's going to shoot me at this distance?
[07:43] ---
Dammit!
[07:46] ---
We'll take the rest nice and slow
once I've taken care of the others.
[07:50] ---
Wait, Julie! We need to
join up with Tachibana first!
[07:54] ---
Nej--it's all right!
[07:59] ---
An all-too-straightforward move.
[08:11] ---
Too bad, Julie Sigtuna.
[08:13] ---
I had expected you to put up a better fight...
[08:16] ---
Julie!
[08:18] ---
Guess you couldn't stand by her after all.
[08:21] ---
Not so fast!
[08:26] ---
Kokonoe! Let's go!
[08:28] ---
Got it!
[08:34] ---
She's not coming after us, eh?
[08:37] ---
Just as she declared. Looks like
she wants to leave Tor for last.
[08:42] ---
Did you get hit?
[08:44] ---
Are you all right, Tomoe?
[08:46] ---
This? It's nothing.
[08:49] ---
You took some damage on your shoulder there--
[08:52] ---
Tomoe!
[08:53] ---
I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.
[08:56] ---
It's only natural to protect your friends.
[08:59] ---
But...
[09:01] ---
You seem overeager today.
Is something going on, Julie?
[09:07] ---
Nej, nothing.
[09:10] ---
Okay.
[09:11] ---
But don't forget: Your weapon
has a lot to do with speed
[09:15] ---
and keeping a cool head
to find just the right moment.
[09:19] ---
Ja...
[09:20] ---
Now, how are we going to take her down?
[09:25] ---
It looks like we'll have to wait
for our chance at close combat.
[09:28] ---
But...
[09:29] ---
Tachibana's in no shape to fight,
[09:32] ---
and Julie's injuries are
affecting her combat strength.
[09:35] ---
Hotaka's lance can't maneuver
well enough to trap her.
[09:41] ---
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
[09:44] ---
For raw destructive power,
I think you've got us all beat, Hotaka.
[09:49] ---
Kokonoe...
[09:51] ---
She's one nasty woman,
that's for sure. And so damn cocky!
[09:56] ---
Talk about irritating.
[09:58] ---
Cocky? Yeah...
[10:04] ---
That might just be... no.
[10:07] ---
What is it, Kokonoe?
[10:17] ---
Tor...
[10:18] ---
Julie? Come on, now--you have to
wait in your assigned position.
[10:22] ---
I'm sorry. I wanted to talk to you.
Just for a second.
[10:28] ---
All right. What's up?
[10:31] ---
Tomoe was right. I was trying too hard.
[10:35] ---
Is this about the Duo thing?
[10:39] ---
You turned her down, Tor.
[10:43] ---
But if you acknowledge each
other through this Survive, then...
[10:49] ---
I get it... So all this time, you...
[10:58] ---
I want to protect you, Julie.
To be your strength.
[11:04] ---
Tor...
[11:05] ---
I'm sorry I worried you.
[11:08] ---
But you're my Duo. Absolutely and for always.
[11:16] ---
Ja.
[11:18] ---
Have you forgotten you're
smack in the middle of a Survive?
[11:26] ---
You startled me. I didn't
pick up on your being here at all.
[11:30] ---
Erasing your presence is Hunting 101.
That, and picking up on things.
[11:35] ---
So...
[11:38] ---
Let's not beat around the bush.
[11:40] ---
I've come here, just like you wanted me to.
[11:43] ---
You really are an irritating woman.
[11:46] ---
Is it over? I hit one of you,
and another seems pretty slow.
[11:52] ---
Did you leave them behind?
[11:54] ---
Nej, Tomoe and Miyabi
will both fight with us.
[12:00] ---
Your hearts are one, are they?
[12:02] ---
I can't say I hate that kind of sentimentality.
[12:07] ---
Now, let's begin!
[12:09] ---
Time for the last dance!
[12:20] ---
Good blow! It had a lot more feeling to it.
[12:23] ---
But it looks like I did some lasting damage.
[12:26] ---
You're too slow!
[12:31] ---
Blaze!
[12:34] ---
Well done!
[12:36] ---
Don't forget about us!
[12:38] ---
Oh, I haven't!
[12:41] ---
Not so fast!
[12:45] ---
It's not over yet!
[12:49] ---
Tor!
[12:51] ---
Don't worry about me!
We're going in for the win!
[12:55] ---
You are? Like that?
[12:58] ---
Yep. I've finally got
you right where I want you.
[13:02] ---
Mjölnir!
[13:14] ---
Nicely thought out! But I'm still--
[13:22] ---
I won't... be defeated!
[13:25] ---
Julie! Now!
[13:27] ---
Ja! It's over!
[13:30] ---
The only one it's over for is you.
[13:43] ---
Julie...
[13:46] ---
Such a pity. It was a fake-out.
[13:50] ---
You honestly thought
I needed to reload it like this?
[13:58] ---
Yeah, I saw that possibility coming.
[14:01] ---
What?
[14:02] ---
That is, I saw through your lies
and got you to uncover the truth!
[14:12] ---
That makes it... checkmate.
[14:15] ---
No, but--I'm sure I shot
right through your chest!
[14:22] ---
So that's why you moved so slowly.
You were fighting together.
[14:28] ---
I get it now: there were
two of you waiting in ambush.
[14:32] ---
You almost had me at first.
But then I remembered:
[14:37] ---
The first time I saw your Blaze.
[14:43] ---
Nothing gets past you, does it?
[14:45] ---
Lilith, this can't go on.
[14:50] ---
C'mon, Lilith--
[14:51] ---
Don't tell me again!
[14:55] ---
I am not about to give up--not yet!
[15:11] ---
Tor!
[15:12] ---
It's not... her Blaze. It's... a real bullet!
[15:17] ---
That was a close one, Lilith Bristol.
[15:25] ---
Lilith, who are these guys?
[15:28] ---
I have no idea! Who are you?
What do you want?
[15:39] ---
We come bearing an invitation
from Equipment Smith, master armorer.
[15:44] ---
That should tell you what you need to know.
[15:48] ---
Ah, I see. You're their...
[15:51] ---
But I refuse!
[15:53] ---
I will not accompany anyone with
the temerity to crash my dance party!
[16:02] ---
Pardon me.
[16:05] ---
We're to bring you in,
even if it means getting a little rough.
[16:10] ---
Those are our orders, so...
[16:12] ---
Why, you...!
[16:22] ---
No way--sure, we're exhausted, but still!
[16:25] ---
Our attacks?
[16:28] ---
Exceeds aren't the only
ones who've surpassed humanity.
[16:32] ---
That's all.
[16:39] ---
Quiet now...
[16:41] ---
I don't want my trigger finger to slip.
[16:45] ---
Stop!
[16:47] ---
I'll accept your invitation.
Just don't hurt her!
[16:51] ---
You have my thanks. Now I can
still show my face to the bossman.
[16:57] ---
Go right on up, if you would.
[17:02] ---
Lilith...
[17:06] ---
Sorry we couldn't finish
things properly, Tor Kokonoe.
[17:16] ---
Who the hell were those guys, anyway?
[17:19] ---
Who cares about that?!
[17:22] ---
We've got to get Lilith back!
[17:25] ---
Ja.
[17:27] ---
Isn't that just like you!
[17:30] ---
Kokonoe...
[17:33] ---
We'll all come back together.
And when we do...
[17:37] ---
...meet us with a smile, okay?
[17:39] ---
Uh-huh...
[17:50] ---
Tor Kokonoe!
[17:52] ---
Why are you here?
[17:53] ---
To get Lilith back!
[17:56] ---
Stand down! What do you think
you can do in your condition?
[18:00] ---
It's like you said: We still
haven't finished things between us!
[18:05] ---
Don't make me tell you again, you fool!
[18:07] ---
The same goes for me! You think
I'm going to stand for you disappearing
[18:11] ---
before we can clash at full strength,
before we understand each other?
[18:16] ---
I'm afraid we don't have the
time to be party to your little farce.
[18:21] ---
Stop!
[18:27] ---
Putting the last of my
strength into this single blow and...
[18:31] ---
Shatter!
[18:40] ---
You must be getting desperate.
[18:43] ---
Don't you get it?
Don't you know where we are?
[18:48] ---
No!
[18:57] ---
Lilith!
[18:59] ---
Tor Kokonoe!
[19:02] ---
Julie! Tora!
[19:04] ---
Ja!
[19:05] ---
We got this!
[19:12] ---
To resort to such a tactic...
[19:14] ---
Lend me your strength, Lilith!
[19:18] ---
Blaze!
[19:27] ---
You pull the trigger!
[19:31] ---
It's over!
[19:39] ---
You sure about this?
[19:42] ---
Of course. You want to
clash with me at my full power
[19:45] ---
so we can understand
each other, don't you?
[19:47] ---
I'm pretty beat up, though.
[19:51] ---
And I've hurt my arm. We're even.
[19:55] ---
Well, I won't object to
settling this once and for all.
[19:59] ---
Attaboy!
[20:21] ---
My apologies. The Unit got a little scuffed up.
[20:25] ---
The adjustments have yet to be made, anyway.
[20:28] ---
The data you got is plenty.
[20:32] ---
What shall we do about Lilith Bristol?
[20:35] ---
She's an intriguing subject,
but there's no need to go overboard.
[20:39] ---
The one I'm really after is...
[20:42] ---
The witch who's pulling
the strings: Blaze Diabolica.
[20:46] ---
I half thought she'd show her face here today.
[20:50] ---
She's keeping herself fairly guarded...
[20:52] ---
Say, how are those
Exceeds she made, anyway?
[20:57] ---
The Exceeds?
[21:03] ---
H-Help... me...
[21:06] ---
I think they'll be quite amusing.
[21:15] ---
I'm so bored. Ugh, I wish
I could start moving again...
[21:20] ---
Nej. You must stay in bed.
[21:23] ---
Julie's right.
[21:25] ---
She certainly is. You were beyond reckless.
[21:31] ---
Come in.
[21:35] ---
Lilith?!
[21:37] ---
What do you want?
[21:40] ---
It's only natural to visit your injured friends.
[21:45] ---
What? Isn't it?
[21:48] ---
You said we'd be friends
once we clashed at full power!
[21:53] ---
And, uh... thank you for coming to rescue me.
[22:00] ---
Sure.
[22:01] ---
And I'm sorry for slapping you
the other day. It must have hurt.
[22:07] ---
It's all right.
[22:08] ---
Lightly
[22:08] ---
Oh...
[22:09] ---
Quickly
[22:10] ---
Gently
[22:11] ---
Softly
[22:11] ---
And you, too... I'm sorry
I didn't take you seriously.
[22:12] ---
Pale
[22:13] ---
White
[22:13] ---
Our future together
[22:14] ---
It actually turned out to be a
pretty good experience for us.
[22:15] ---
Flicker
[22:16] ---
Bounce
[22:17] ---
Float
[22:18] ---
Sink
[22:18] ---
Uh-huh!
[22:19] ---
Leap
[22:20] ---
Align
[22:21] ---
The rhythm of our hearts
[22:22] ---
By the way, Tor Kokonoe...
is that other thing still a no-go?
[22:23] ---
It started with a little chat
[22:26] ---
Our views surprisingly the same
[22:27] ---
Sorry. I have a Duo who's important to me.
[22:30] ---
It started with a clash, I suppose
[22:32] ---
All right.
[22:33] ---
But if you ever change your mind, do tell me.
[22:33] ---
Kind of a roundabout way
[22:36] ---
Tor is my Duo.
[22:37] ---
I want us to be friends
(When we fight, I understand)
[22:39] ---
Ooh, scary!
[22:41] ---
But
(Things I didn't see at first)
[22:41] ---
Oh, and one more important thing...
[22:43] ---
That's too easy
[22:45] ---
The taste of apple tea
[22:46] ---
I won't tell you again, so listen closely.
[22:51] ---
Lonely?
[22:53] ---
I never thought about it much
[22:54] ---
I've decided you will be my future husband.
[22:58] ---
But I've noticed
[23:01] ---
What?!
[23:01] ---
I'm lonely without you
[23:03] ---
Tor! So you two have been...
[23:05] ---
Tomorrow we'll be happy, happy
[23:05] ---
K-Kokonoe, you skeev!
[23:07] ---
H-H-Have you no shame?!
[23:08] ---
Tomorrow, too: happy, happy
[23:10] ---
No! That's not it!
[23:12] ---
Someday we'll be happy happy
[23:14] ---
Hey, Lilith--wait!
[23:15] ---
Every day: happy happy
[23:18] ---
I'll win your heart...
you can count on it, Tor!
[23:25] ---
About being Tor's Duo--I haven't given up yet.
[23:29] ---
Nej. Tor's Duo is...
[23:30] ---
Then I won't give up, either!
[23:31] ---
What?
[23:32] ---
Th-Then, I won't give up, either!
[23:34] ---
"Silver Blonde, Yellow Topaz"
[23:34] ---
Next time: "Silver Blonde, Yellow Topaz."
[23:37] ---
I won't give up, either!

[00:09] ---
I couldn't do anything in that moment.
[00:13] ---
I was a liability for everyone else...
[00:19] ---
Stray thoughts at every turn.
[00:21] ---
Weren't there? During our sparring earlier.
[00:28] ---
Nothing will come of being down on yourself.
[00:32] ---
Tomoe...
[00:35] ---
Don't be so depressed.
[00:37] ---
We all love the cheerful Miyabi.
[00:41] ---
Love, as in...
[00:48] ---
Something the matter?
[00:49] ---
N-No, it's nothing.
[01:10] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:16] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:21] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:26] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:31] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:36] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:42] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:50] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[01:56] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:01] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:07] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:11] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:17] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:28] ---
"#7 Silver Blonde, Yellow Topaz"
[02:29] ---
Blue as far as the eye can see...
[02:34] ---
How are you feeling, Julie?
[02:37] ---
Ja...
[02:39] ---
I'm... okay.
[02:43] ---
Hey, hey, what do you
think the training camp's like?
[02:46] ---
I brought my new swimsuit! It's super cute!
[02:49] ---
I'm sorry, Tor.
[02:49] ---
Ooh, show me!
[02:51] ---
Here we are, off to a
seaside summer camp, but I'm...
[02:55] ---
Between this heat and seasickness,
it can't be helped.
[02:58] ---
I'm sure it's not going to be
your average summer camp anyway.
[03:01] ---
You should rest while you can.
[03:04] ---
Ja...
[03:06] ---
Your lap is very com... fortable...
[03:17] ---
Seeing her like this,
[03:19] ---
it's like Julie's a little animal.
[03:26] ---
Uh, um...
[03:29] ---
Oh, Hotaka.
[03:31] ---
Is Julie okay?
[03:33] ---
Y-Yeah...
[03:35] ---
I think she feels better in
this fresh air than being indoors.
[03:40] ---
Seems that way.
[03:41] ---
She looks so comfortable.
[03:43] ---
It's got to be hot where you are.
[03:45] ---
Maybe you should get over here.
[03:47] ---
What?
[03:48] ---
O-Okay.
[03:50] ---
Then, since you suggested it...
[04:03] ---
You okay?
[04:08] ---
Hey, Tor, Tsukimi wants to see us.
[04:11] ---
Are we there already?
[04:15] ---
Miyabi.
[04:18] ---
Y-Yeah, I'm coming.
[04:21] ---
What the heck am I doing?
[04:25] ---
Now, time for the big announcement!
[04:28] ---
You're gonna swim from here to
that island where the training camp is!
[04:33] ---
What?!
[04:34] ---
Swim... Are you for real?
[04:40] ---
Are you serious about this, ma'am?
[04:42] ---
Of course!
[04:43] ---
Oh, and as part of your special training,
[04:45] ---
you'll be swimming in your uniforms!
[04:48] ---
It should be a piece of cake for you Exceeds.
[04:53] ---
Now it makes sense.
[04:56] ---
It's to get a good look at
the ecology of her guinea pigs.
[05:04] ---
Your ultimate goal is here!
[05:07] ---
The training camp building smack
dab in the middle of the island!
[05:10] ---
I expect you all to get fired up and go!
[05:14] ---
Oh, and remember that Rite of Sublimation
at the end of the term?
[05:19] ---
If you leveled up, that's one thing,
[05:21] ---
but if you're a sad panda
cubby who didn't level up,
[05:24] ---
make sure you don't
drag down your Duo, 'kay?
[05:28] ---
Miyabi...
[05:33] ---
Well, then, get moving already!
[05:48] ---
You okay, Julie?
[05:50] ---
Ja. But we've fallen pretty far behind.
[05:54] ---
Oh, we'll catch up in no time.
[05:57] ---
Hang on tight for me.
[05:58] ---
Ja.
[06:01] ---
Oh... That sound...
[06:05] ---
Hi, Tor!
[06:08] ---
Picking out my swimsuit
totally threw me off schedule!
[06:12] ---
Lilith?!
[06:14] ---
Okay, I'm going, Sarah.
[06:16] ---
M-Miss?
[06:17] ---
You're not...
[06:36] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting!
[06:38] ---
Your future life partner is here!
[06:40] ---
Aw, please, look at you.
[06:43] ---
You blush so easily.
[06:44] ---
I wasn't blushing.
[06:46] ---
Please get away from him. Tor is my Duo.
[06:51] ---
Oh? Let me guess--you can't swim?
[06:54] ---
As Tor's Duo, you should try
not to get in his way.
[07:03] ---
We don't have time for this.
[07:06] ---
Right now, we have to get to the island.
[07:08] ---
You have a point there.
[07:10] ---
Then I'll race you to the island, Tor!
[07:15] ---
What?
[07:24] ---
I knew it would be, but swimming
in a uniform was way rough.
[07:31] ---
I won, hands down.
[07:33] ---
I'm sorry, Tor.
[07:36] ---
It's okay.
[07:37] ---
But let me rest a bit.
[07:40] ---
Then I will, too.
[07:42] ---
My underwear is all soggy and uncomfortable.
[07:45] ---
We'll take a break until your clothes dry.
[07:50] ---
Whoa! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[07:53] ---
Oh...
[07:55] ---
I'll go hang them out to dry over there.
[07:57] ---
Sure...
[07:59] ---
Try not to go too far.
[08:02] ---
Ja.
[08:04] ---
She's a spacey one, huh?
[08:13] ---
It's more pleasant this way, right?
[08:15] ---
Y-Yeah...
[08:17] ---
But it's got to be hot for you, too.
[08:19] ---
You don't have to worry about me.
[08:21] ---
I'm doing this because I feel like it.
[08:24] ---
But if it really bothers you,
I wouldn't mind if you thanked me.
[08:28] ---
Sure, if it's something I can do.
[08:32] ---
Then, as my reward...
[08:34] ---
What?
[08:37] ---
Kiss me.
[08:40] ---
No! Th-Th-Th-That's okay!
Never mind the shade!
[08:42] ---
But I appreciate the thought.
[08:44] ---
Oh!
[08:46] ---
Julie!
[08:49] ---
What's wrong, Julie?!
[08:50] ---
I was going to hang them out to dry,
[08:52] ---
but then the wind blew them away, and...
[09:02] ---
Which means...
[09:04] ---
Tor...
[09:07] ---
You shouldn't look.
[09:18] ---
You okay, Miyabi? We're almost there.
[09:21] ---
R-Right.
[09:22] ---
It seems like I'm always holding you back.
[09:28] ---
What kind of silly...
[09:31] ---
Miyabi!
[09:36] ---
Do you think everyone else has gone ahead?
[09:39] ---
Ah, well...
[09:41] ---
We can go at our own pace.
[09:45] ---
I'm soaked, too.
[09:52] ---
I'm sorry, Tomoe. I...
[09:55] ---
Stop right there.
[09:59] ---
Tomoe?
[10:01] ---
You're my Duo, Miyabi.
[10:05] ---
If you're down on yourself,
[10:07] ---
that also means that
you're down on me--your Duo.
[10:10] ---
That's not what I...
[10:12] ---
The Duo I chose is
none other than Miyabi Hotaka.
[10:21] ---
Whew! This is perfect.
[10:23] ---
We can rinse off the salt from the sea here.
[10:28] ---
Feels great!
[10:32] ---
Looks like that's where the training camp is.
[10:34] ---
It's starting to get pretty dark.
[10:36] ---
Come on, let's hurry.
[10:38] ---
Oh, hold on a second.
[10:41] ---
What is it?
[10:46] ---
It's only marginally better than nothing, but...
[10:49] ---
It'll be rough going barefoot from here on out.
[10:53] ---
Thank you, Tor!
[10:54] ---
That's my future husband for you!
[10:57] ---
Maybe I really will take you for my Duo.
[11:01] ---
Tor, this way looks easier to walk.
[11:18] ---
What was that?
[11:20] ---
Kunai knives.
[11:22] ---
Are there ninjas on this island or something?
[11:29] ---
Don't tell me it's those...
[11:46] ---
They have Blazes?!
[11:58] ---
Hurry, Miyabi!
[12:00] ---
Right!
[12:03] ---
Miyabi!
[12:08] ---
Tomoe!
[12:11] ---
Bastards...
[12:12] ---
They have the terrain in their favor.
[12:22] ---
Tomoe!
[12:26] ---
Why?
[12:31] ---
Why can't I get them to move?
[12:47] ---
Kokonoe...
[12:52] ---
Blaze!
[13:01] ---
Miyabi...
[13:09] ---
Who the hell are these guys?
[13:12] ---
Tor!
[13:26] ---
They attacked us here
to cage us within these trees.
[13:30] ---
Nicely played.
[13:43] ---
I never asked for your help!
[13:45] ---
Ja. I just felt like doing that.
[13:51] ---
Now, what to do?
[13:54] ---
A little more space would've been nice, but...
[13:57] ---
In that case, please leap up for a moment.
[14:00] ---
What?
[14:04] ---
All right.
[14:08] ---
Blaze!
[14:18] ---
No way...
[14:19] ---
This is the power of a Level 3?!
[14:30] ---
Now...
[14:31] ---
It's showtime!
[14:34] ---
Take that!
[14:37] ---
Damn it! These people wielding Blazes...
[14:40] ---
Who in the world...
[15:07] ---
This is the end!
[15:13] ---
Imari!
[15:24] ---
I guess the cat's out of the bag.
[15:27] ---
Long time no see, Tor.
[15:29] ---
Yeah... Long time no see.
[15:33] ---
By the way, mind moving
your hand sometime soon?
[15:37] ---
Huh?
[15:39] ---
Uh...
[15:41] ---
Tor, you skeev.
[15:45] ---
So! To all the students from the main school,
[15:48] ---
welcome to Koryo Academy's branch school!
[15:51] ---
We sprang that mock battle on you,
[15:52] ---
and I'm sure the rude
greeting came as a surprise.
[15:55] ---
But consider it seaside summer camp
the Koryo Academy way,
[15:59] ---
and we ask for your mercy.
[16:01] ---
So there you have it.
[16:02] ---
The joint training starts today
and we're looking forward to it!
[16:06] ---
Well, then...
[16:07] ---
Cheers!
[16:08] ---
Cheers!
[16:28] ---
I had no idea there was a branch school.
[16:31] ---
I was surprised at first, too.
[16:43] ---
The students defeated in
the opening ceremony Screening Rite
[16:46] ---
were admitted to the branch
school if that's what they wanted.
[16:50] ---
The environment, the training--
it's all incredibly rigorous,
[16:53] ---
but every day has been fulfilling.
[16:55] ---
Looks that way.
[16:56] ---
So, how have things been on your end?
[16:58] ---
What? I...
[17:00] ---
Everyone has a voracious appetite.
[17:03] ---
The meat ran out in the blink of an eye.
[17:06] ---
After all that swimming
and fighting, everyone's starving.
[17:10] ---
Do you want one of mine?
[17:13] ---
Ja.
[17:14] ---
Thank you very much.
[17:17] ---
H-Hot!
[17:19] ---
Your sausage is really hot and big...
[17:27] ---
And it's delicious.
[17:29] ---
Tor.
[17:32] ---
Here you go.
[17:33] ---
Can I eat this?
[17:35] ---
No! I'm asking you to feed me
because both my hands are occupied.
[17:40] ---
Then say, "Ah."
[17:44] ---
That's pretty good.
[17:46] ---
Wait! Why are you feeding me?!
[17:49] ---
Here's your next bite.
[17:53] ---
Mmm, delicious!
[17:56] ---
Wait! Aren't you listening to me?!
[18:06] ---
Headmistress.
[18:08] ---
I had the wrong idea about you.
[18:10] ---
I'd thought you were more coldhearted.
[18:14] ---
But I guess you didn't actually cast
Imari and the others aside.
[18:18] ---
I'm kind of happy about that.
[18:21] ---
Thank you very much.
[18:23] ---
It seems that you are
under some misapprehension.
[18:26] ---
What?
[18:27] ---
Ultimately, this is all to seek out the
talent that the Dorn Agency requires.
[18:32] ---
I have done nothing to merit thanks.
[18:37] ---
Well, then, good evening, Tor Kokonoe.
[18:42] ---
I desire one thing and one thing only.
[18:46] ---
That the path I take reaches Absolute Duo.
[18:55] ---
The way you fought earlier was amazing!
[18:57] ---
You don't attend the main school
for nothing, that's for sure!
[19:00] ---
Oh, no, I'm not that impressive.
[19:02] ---
Nope, you are that impressive.
[19:04] ---
Because you're my Duo--my pride and joy.
[19:07] ---
Tomoe...
[19:09] ---
I-I'm going to get some food.
[19:17] ---
Oh, s-sorry.
[19:19] ---
K-Kokonoe.
[19:21] ---
Oh, yeah, I heard.
[19:23] ---
You fought hard to save Tachibana, huh?
[19:26] ---
I... I was just frantic, that's all.
[19:31] ---
And besides, that was because you...
[19:37] ---
What about me?
[19:39] ---
No, nothing.
[19:43] ---
That's right...
[19:45] ---
It's because Kokonoe's
been there for me that I...
[19:53] ---
That I...
[19:55] ---
Hey! Miyabi!
[19:56] ---
Tor! Hurry up!
[19:59] ---
Right!
[20:00] ---
Let's go.
[20:01] ---
Okay.
[20:06] ---
I guess what I feel for Kokonoe really is...
[20:11] ---
...love.
[20:15] ---
The adjustments to the Unit are complete.
[20:17] ---
All that's left is to move
on to the final stage,
[20:20] ---
but there's a piece I'd
like to get my hands on first.
[20:33] ---
And you want me to handle
the operation to obtain it?
[20:36] ---
Yes.
[20:38] ---
There's no need to
report this to the higher-ups.
[20:41] ---
They're just as curious to know
how powerful this thing is, anyway.
[20:45] ---
The test results, as it were,
should be enough for them.
[20:50] ---
The test...
[20:51] ---
Assess and be assessed, is it?
[20:54] ---
And what will the codename be this time?
[20:59] ---
A competitive show...
[21:01] ---
Let's call it Selection.
[21:25] ---

[21:38] ---
The rhythm of our hearts
[21:40] ---
It started with a little chat
[21:43] ---
Our views surprisingly the same
[21:47] ---
It started with a clash, I suppose
[21:50] ---
Kind of a roundabout way
[21:54] ---
I want us to be friends
(When we fight, I understand)
[21:58] ---
But
(Things I didn't see at first)
[22:00] ---
That's too easy
[22:02] ---
The taste of apple tea
[22:08] ---
Lonely?
[22:10] ---
I never thought about it much
[22:15] ---
But I've noticed
[22:18] ---
I'm lonely without you
[22:22] ---
Tomorrow we'll be happy, happy
[22:25] ---
Tomorrow, too: happy, happy
[22:29] ---
Someday we'll be happy happy
[22:33] ---
Every day: happy happy
[22:46] ---
That should do it.
[22:48] ---
This will allow me to sleep with
you for the week of summer camp.
[22:54] ---
Er, uh... I'm happy for you...
[22:57] ---
Ja.
[23:00] ---
By the way, Tor, what happened
today taught me an important lesson.
[23:05] ---
An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.
[23:08] ---
Please hang onto this for me.
[23:11] ---
"This"?
[23:15] ---
Tor, spreading it open is a little...
[23:20] ---
Sorry...
[23:22] ---
Anything but this.
[23:27] ---
It's summer!
[23:27] ---
"It's summer!"
[23:28] ---
Yeah!
[23:29] ---
Swimsuits!
[23:29] ---
"Swimsuits!"
[23:31] ---
Yeah!
[23:32] ---
Hot springs!
[23:33] ---
"Hot springs!"
[23:34] ---
Yeah!
[23:36] ---
Next time: "Selection."
[23:36] ---
"Selection"
[23:38] ---
Plus, a wardrobe malfunction!

[00:04] ---
So hot...
[00:06] ---
I can't breathe... suffocating...
[00:11] ---
Soft... so--soft?!
[00:16] ---
Tor... no touching there...
[00:19] ---
Lilith?!
[00:20] ---
What's she doing here?
[00:25] ---
J-Julie?!
[00:27] ---
Your hands are so big...
[00:34] ---
Good morning, Tor.
[00:36] ---
Hey--no peeking, Tor!
[00:40] ---
Why are you both naked?!
[00:45] ---
I can't sleep in clothes.
[00:48] ---
Last night... was just so hot...
[00:51] ---
Look, just get dressed... please!
[00:54] ---
Morning!
[00:56] ---
Get up already, Kokonoe, Julie.
Training's about to...
[01:03] ---
Kokonoe...
[01:05] ---
...you dog!
[01:20] ---
We lived in a closed-up past

I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[02:01] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[02:06] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:11] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:17] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:21] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:27] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:38] ---
"#8 Selection"
[02:44] ---
Man, what a way to start the day.
[02:47] ---
Kokonoe!
[02:51] ---
Tachibana!
[02:56] ---
I'm so sorry, Kokonoe!
Julie and Lilith explained everything.
[03:00] ---
It was rude of me to
jump to conclusions like that!
[03:02] ---
I-I'm just glad you understand. So, uh...
[03:06] ---
Please... stop bowing.
[03:08] ---
That won't do! The blame all lies on me!
[03:12] ---
I see you're wasting no
time getting up to your old tricks.
[03:16] ---
What on earth did you do, Tor?
[03:18] ---
Nej, Imari. It was me and--
[03:22] ---
Stop right there!
[03:23] ---
Hey, uh, we'd better circle
up before Miss Tsukimi gets mad.
[03:30] ---
We don't want that.
[03:32] ---
Like I want that black-hearted
bunny lecturing me.
[03:35] ---
You don't like Professor Bunbun?
But she's so cute!
[03:42] ---
Ignorance really is bliss.
[03:46] ---
Hey, Hotaka--thanks for bailing me out.
[03:53] ---
Uh-huh!
[04:07] ---
I had no idea.
[04:10] ---
I never knew that just
falling in love with someone
[04:14] ---
could give you such a thrill...
[04:21] ---
...could make you feel so warm inside...
[04:26] ---
...could fill you with such strength...
[04:31] ---
...could make the whole world sparkle.
[04:39] ---
Aaand that concludes
our schedule for training camp!
[04:42] ---
Our last day tomorrow will be
nothing but long-awaited free time!
[04:47] ---
But don't get too crazy,
or you'll make me a very bothered bunny!
[04:51] ---
Yes, miss!
[04:53] ---
Tor!
[04:54] ---
I'm about to polish up my radiant skin
just for you--care to join me?
[05:01] ---
Ja, I'll come with you.
[05:03] ---
Tor, I'm off to take a bath.
[05:06] ---
No, wait, not you--hey, stop pushing!
[05:10] ---
Are they hitting it off, or is it just me?
[05:13] ---
Like I know. I'm off for a little soak myself.
[05:17] ---
Kokonoe!
[05:19] ---
Nice work today, Hotaka.
You really gave it your all at camp this week.
[05:23] ---
Oh, um... Thanks to you, though.
[05:27] ---
Hmm?
[05:28] ---
N-Nothing! Do you
have plans for tomorrow yet?
[05:33] ---
No, nothing special.
[05:36] ---
Do you want to come with us?
Me and Tomoe and Imari? I mean...
[05:44] ---
...if you want to, that is...
[05:47] ---
Yeah, sure!
[05:49] ---
But where? There's not exactly
anywhere fun on this island.
[05:54] ---
The, uh... the beach.
[05:59] ---
Of course--the beach is definitely
somewhere fun. I'd totally forgotten.
[06:09] ---
Hey, what's so funny?
[06:10] ---
It's just... you're so...
[06:17] ---
Yow! Hot!
[06:20] ---
I'm the only guy here.
[06:22] ---
Tora's asleep,
[06:24] ---
and Tatsu is offering up
training to the god of muscle.
[06:27] ---
What is the god of muscle, anyway?
[06:30] ---
Sorry to keep you waiting, Tor.
[06:35] ---
What do you think?
[06:37] ---
What do I--
[06:39] ---
You look great. Really cute.
[06:42] ---
Ja.
[06:44] ---
Over here, Tor!
[06:46] ---
Hi!
[06:49] ---
I understand you're dazzled
by the veritable feast before you.
[06:53] ---
Care to weigh in?
[06:56] ---
Er, well...
[06:59] ---
Lilith, uh, the word "gorgeous,"
I think, suits you to a tee.
[07:05] ---
And Imari...
[07:07] ---
I think your figure's really attractive.
[07:10] ---
No! Like... in an athletic way.
[07:14] ---
Tachibana... well, you're beautiful.
[07:18] ---
Hey, your face is red. Don't get sunstroke, now.
[07:21] ---
Hotaka?
[07:22] ---
C'mon, Miyabi! Take that
frumpy old thing off already!
[07:27] ---
But it doesn't look as
good on me, and I'm too shy...
[07:32] ---
No use arguing. Hai-yah!
[07:38] ---
Hi there, K-Kokonoe...!
[07:44] ---
I, uh, I think that looks
great on you. Like... really great!
[07:51] ---
Oh! Th-Thanks.
[07:56] ---
You hold a pretty good beauty contest, Tor!
[07:59] ---
Yep. Now let's get going.
[08:01] ---
Right--the ocean awaits!
[08:06] ---
Yahoo!
[08:09] ---
I'll just take a dip, too.
[08:13] ---
What's the big idea?!
[08:14] ---
Ooh! You shouldn't neglect
me like that, you big sadist, you!
[08:20] ---
How do you like me in beach mode?
Go on, tell me what you think!
[08:25] ---
Okay, then: You're always in bitch mode.
[08:29] ---
Thank you! I'm so happy,
I'd like to kill you just a little bit,
[08:32] ---
you rotten brat!
[08:34] ---
Go on and try for your
revenge any old time at all.
[08:38] ---
Those two sure are close.
[08:42] ---
Must be nice.
[08:47] ---
Miyabi?
[09:33] ---
Yep, the beach was definitely
a good place to have fun.
[09:39] ---
K-Kokonoe... d-do you want to... swim with me?
[09:47] ---
Julie!
[09:48] ---
I told you not to go alone!
[09:54] ---
Look at this, Tor. I can swim
forward all by myself now.
[09:59] ---
Uh-huh. Great jo--
[10:05] ---
You okay?
[10:07] ---
Ja. I'm fine.
[10:09] ---
J-J-Julie! Up top! Up top!
[10:14] ---
It looks nice and sunny to me.
[10:15] ---
Not that--your swimsuit!
[10:19] ---
Did you see anything?
[10:20] ---
I didn't--but only barely.
[10:23] ---
"Barely" is good enough.
[10:26] ---
Now let's get my top.
[10:31] ---
Wait! Julie! Let go!
[10:33] ---
Nej. I can't, Tor.
If I let go, you'll get a peek.
[10:38] ---
My suit is over there.
[10:41] ---
My back--my back!
[10:44] ---
Help me! I'm drowning!
[10:47] ---
Lilith? You can swim!
[10:49] ---
I'm drowning in your love!
[10:51] ---
Oh, you are not either!
Stop that! Don't glom onto me!
[10:57] ---
Getting cold feet, Irregular?
Put more backbone into it!
[11:01] ---
Are they always like this?
[11:03] ---
Unfortunately, yes.
[11:07] ---
By the way,
[11:08] ---
have you noticed anything about Miyabi?
[11:12] ---
Of course.
[11:13] ---
She'd been really down on herself,
but she seems to have recovered.
[11:18] ---
That's my chosen Duo, all right.
[11:23] ---
We'll be saying goodbye tomorrow;
[11:25] ---
a little meddling can't hurt.
[11:34] ---
Mmm... nice.
[11:35] ---
The branch school sure is lucky
to have this hidden gem nearby.
[11:41] ---
S-Stop, miss, please! Ow! Don't rub so hard!
[11:47] ---
Wow! One touch is all it takes!
My fingers sink right in!
[11:52] ---
Nooo!
[11:54] ---
On second look, they really are amazing...
[11:58] ---
To think I would be the one to taste defeat!
[12:01] ---
Say, what's your bra size?
[12:04] ---
I-I can't tell you that!
[12:07] ---
No pinching!
[12:08] ---
"Pinching"?!
[12:09] ---
This is what happens
if you won't tell! Take that!
[12:14] ---
I'll tell, I'll tell! Just, please--
[12:18] ---
F! An F-cup!
[12:21] ---
Hotaka's an F--F for "fantasy"!
[12:27] ---
This overwhelming air of intimidation...
[12:29] ---
I have no choice but
to recognize her as my rival!
[12:32] ---
Huh! That's strange! So soft,
yet these bits here got all hard!
[12:42] ---
No... please... stop!
[12:43] ---
That's enough!
[12:45] ---
If you mean to assault someone,
let it be me instead!
[12:49] ---
So you're volunteering
for a little squeeze, are you?
[12:55] ---
Miss Tsukimi!
[12:56] ---
Ooh! These are worthy, too!
[12:58] ---
Worthy how?!
[12:59] ---
About the same size, I'd say.
[13:01] ---
N-No... stop...!
[13:04] ---
Save me, Julie!
[13:06] ---
I'd like to touch them, too.
[13:09] ---
Not you, too!
[13:12] ---
Hey! Julie!
[13:12] ---
It reminds me of Mama.
[13:14] ---
You okay?
[13:16] ---
I... I think so...
[13:19] ---
Listen, Miyabi...
[13:22] ---
You like Tor, don't you?
[13:23] ---
Uh-huh.
[13:26] ---
I-Imari, I, uh... you could tell?
[13:31] ---
Well, yeah. You're always watching him.
[13:37] ---
You've got some real competition, though.
[13:40] ---
Yeah.
[13:42] ---
The passionate Lilith, the friendly Tomoe,
[13:46] ---
the no-filter-at-all Professor Bunbun.
[13:50] ---
Then there's Tor's Duo and roommate,
your biggest foe of all: Julie.
[13:56] ---
She's genuine, cute, and strong.
I don't stand a chance.
[14:03] ---
Honestly, I can only see
those two as a parent and a child.
[14:09] ---
Or maybe a dog and its master.
[14:11] ---
C'mon... But maybe you're right.
And you look at Kokonoe plenty yourself.
[14:20] ---
Imari?
[14:23] ---
He and I clicked right away
when we first met. It was uncanny.
[14:27] ---
I figured we'd wind up
getting along well together.
[14:30] ---
If I were at the main school...
[14:34] ---
But...
[14:35] ---
...all we have now is the
affection of friends, I suppose.
[14:38] ---
And that's why I want you to
go for it--so you'll have no regrets.
[14:44] ---
Imari...
[14:46] ---
Go for it!
[14:49] ---
Yeah!
[14:59] ---
But how exactly
[15:01] ---
do I go for it?
[15:06] ---
Ow ow ow...
[15:08] ---
Are you all right, Miyabi?
[15:10] ---
Yeah, just twisted it a little.
[15:12] ---
Don't be so sure, Miyabi! Better
not move until you get it checked out.
[15:18] ---
Go on, Tor--you carry her.
[15:20] ---
Imari!
[15:22] ---
She's right. C'mon, Hotaka.
[15:26] ---
O-Okay. Thanks.
[15:32] ---
Wow, will you look at the time!
We're on chow duty today.
[15:38] ---
Are we?
[15:39] ---
Yes, ma'am! I totally
forgot they asked us to help.
[15:42] ---
Then we really should hurry back.
[15:47] ---
Tor, Miyabi, we're going on ahead.
[15:50] ---
Lilith, Professor Bunbun--get a move on!
[15:56] ---
Seeing these brats all buddy-buddy
really chafes my cheeks!
[16:00] ---
What about you, princess?
[16:04] ---
Everybody gets a chance.
Not that anyone else will win.
[16:11] ---
What was that about?
[16:22] ---
Hey, uh...
[16:25] ---
We did this once before, right?
[16:27] ---
I couldn't believe it when
you just collapsed like that.
[16:31] ---
That's right, we did.
[16:32] ---
But your words of encouragement
back then really made me happy.
[16:40] ---
If that's all it takes to cheer
you up, I'll say anything you like!
[16:44] ---
Then... could you... do something
that would make me even happier?
[16:52] ---
C-Call me by my first name!
Like Julie and Lilith...
[17:00] ---
Call me Miyabi!
[17:03] ---
Got it. And you can call me Tor.
[17:07] ---
Okay... T-Tor.
[17:13] ---
Sure, M-Miyabi.
[17:21] ---
Beautiful.
[17:23] ---
It's breathtaking...
[17:27] ---
Could you put me down, Tor?
[17:29] ---
Is your foot okay?
[17:31] ---
It seems to be fine now.
[17:34] ---
All right. Just don't overdo it.
[17:52] ---
Say, Tor?
[17:55] ---
What's up?
[17:56] ---
Thank you so, so much. For everything.
[18:00] ---
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here now.
[18:06] ---
Miyabi?
[18:07] ---
Um... I... I...
[18:14] ---
The thing is, I--
[18:23] ---
I like you.
[18:24] ---
A lot.
[18:30] ---
Those outdoor baths aren't bad at all.
[18:33] ---
And what strange turn of events
has you now enjoying student life?
[18:38] ---
If my journey ends with Absolute Duo,
why not enjoy the ride?
[18:44] ---
Right?
[18:47] ---
Seven people brought together
with Absolute Duo at their core...
[18:50] ---
But the Blaze Diabolica
doesn't need me explaining Reign.
[18:55] ---
Don't bandy that name about.
[19:00] ---
You're rather cold to
a friend in Reign's sights.
[19:04] ---
That older gentleman must be in a bind.
[19:07] ---
I'm sure. They'll probably
try something tonight.
[19:12] ---
If not, I'll have come here for nothing.
[19:18] ---
So you're bait?
[19:20] ---
Yes, just like these branch-school
students prepared as sacrifices.
[19:26] ---
In fact, Tor Kokonoe bowed to
me without knowing anything about it.
[19:38] ---
Miyabi...
[19:40] ---
I like you, Tor.
[19:42] ---
We haven't known each other for long,
but you're always cheering me on...
[19:48] ---
Your kind words give
me so much support, and I...
[19:54] ---
I love you!
[19:55] ---
So, please...
[19:59] ---
...will you go out with me?
[20:04] ---
Miyabi--in love with me?
[20:09] ---
But...
[20:11] ---
...these hands of mine...
[20:31] ---
Another one dead.
[20:33] ---
Tor... you're weak, that's why.
[20:41] ---
I'm sorry. I can't love you back.
[20:45] ---
I'm... I'm weak.
[20:48] ---
So you and I...
[20:57] ---
Oh, o-of course. Of course... you can't.
[21:07] ---
I-I'm such a weirdo... Sorry!
[21:12] ---
Miya--
[21:29] ---
I just meant to look at you,
not knowing a thing
[21:40] ---
Wanting only to give shape to my feelings
[21:51] ---
We pass each other: I first notice the size of it all
[22:01] ---
And feel it so deeply it hurts
[22:07] ---
Together we can overcome,
even if lost in countless nights
[22:17] ---
Someday we'll be strong for real
[22:27] ---
Alone, our hearts are immature;
together, they are one
[22:38] ---
Trusting in the ties that bind us, we walk on
[23:00] ---
What the--?
[23:08] ---
Now, then, shall we begin?
[23:10] ---
The Rebels, our god-slaying corps,
[23:13] ---
and the Exceeds--
[23:15] ---
time to judge and be judged in the Selection!
[23:25] ---
It's those guys who butted in on our Survive.
[23:28] ---
I never thought they'd be back.
[23:30] ---
Tomoe, they seem tougher than before.
[23:32] ---
Well, so are we! Let's do this!
[23:35] ---
"Next time: Rebels"
[23:35] ---
Next time: "Rebels."
[23:37] ---
Miyabi, please be all right!

[00:23] ---
Imari, you two
take care of the injured.
[00:26] ---
Got it.
[00:27] ---
Okay.
[00:28] ---
Tora and Tatsu, come with--
[00:35] ---
These guys are different than before.
[00:39] ---
Miyabi, please be all right...
[00:54] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:00] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:05] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:10] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:15] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:20] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:26] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:34] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[01:40] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[01:44] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[01:51] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[01:55] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:01] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:12] ---
"#9 Rebels"
[02:13] ---
Without a doubt,
[02:15] ---
this is Equipment Smith's team.
[02:17] ---
The Units are different than before.
[02:20] ---
Rebels... the god-destroying corps.
It seems they were successful.
[02:28] ---
Isn't that name just too-too?
[02:31] ---
Those Level 2 chicks are too
freshly hatched to be a match for them!
[02:36] ---
Luckily, there are no casualties as of yet.
[02:39] ---
They probably don't want any.
[02:42] ---
This must be what that
older gentleman would consider
[02:46] ---
a first-round Selection.
[02:48] ---
How unfortunate to be proud
of something so boorish.
[02:52] ---
Sarah, any reinforcements
from the main school?
[02:55] ---
About that, Miss...
[03:08] ---
So the main school's
under attack from another squad.
[03:13] ---
They're after the
underground research facility.
[03:17] ---
But this, too, was figured
into my calculations. Rito?
[03:22] ---
My time to shine at last, eh?
[03:24] ---
It's not every day
we have a Selection.
[03:26] ---
Show them the
true extent of your power.
[03:34] ---
If you say so, Headmistress.
[03:37] ---
It's been a while--time to go all-out!
[04:12] ---
Are you okay?
[04:14] ---
Uh-huh... thanks, Imari.
[04:17] ---
It's what Duos do.
[04:19] ---
But if this keeps up...
[04:23] ---
Any ideas, Tachibana?
[04:27] ---
Not when they're keeping their distance.
[04:37] ---
Kokonoe!
[04:38] ---
Tor!
[04:39] ---
Sorry I'm late.
[04:44] ---
They really did a number on us, huh?
[04:48] ---
Unforgiveable.
[04:58] ---
How dare you do this to our students?
[05:01] ---
Just one of the many things I'm dying to ask.
[05:04] ---
But never mind that.
Here goes--and I'm not pulling any punches!
[05:22] ---
Now that I'm free of
that damn limiter for once,
[05:26] ---
you can bet I'll make the most of it!
[05:39] ---
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon! Bring it on!
[05:43] ---
Tor...
[05:45] ---
Yeah, she's a lot stronger
than she was back then.
[05:48] ---
This woman's an exception!
Go ahead and kill her!
[05:56] ---
Looks like some of you need to
dance another round or two... Very well!
[06:08] ---
Here's an extra lesson for you.
[06:09] ---
Stay back if you don't want to get hurt!
[06:13] ---
Using Blazes, Lesson 3!
[06:17] ---
When an Exceed goes beyond Level 4,
[06:20] ---
she can release the power
hidden deep within her Blaze...
[06:23] ---
...like so!
[06:27] ---
Devour them, Ouroboros!
[06:45] ---
Now dance like mad--
[06:47] ---
hand in hand with the moon rabbit!
[06:54] ---
Hmm? Hey, Irregular!
[06:57] ---
So you were going easy on us before?
[07:00] ---
It's a grown-up thing. Complicated.
[07:03] ---
But listen--did you see that?
[07:05] ---
Yeah. Was that your
Blaze's true power, then?
[07:10] ---
It sure was.
[07:12] ---
Where are you going?
[07:14] ---
Where else?
[07:15] ---
I'm heading out on a foxhunt.
[07:20] ---
Tor?
[07:22] ---
We should go back to the others.
[07:24] ---
You're right.
[07:30] ---
Kokonoe--Miyabi's not with you?
[07:35] ---
A message from the main school!
[07:36] ---
The squad that attacked them--
[07:40] ---
Absurd... All of us downed
[07:42] ---
by a single combatant...
[07:50] ---
They've driven off the attackers!
[07:53] ---
Have you got this all in
the palm of your hand, Sakuya?
[07:58] ---
Yes, have you?
[08:08] ---
We have come for you, Blaze Diabolica.
[08:13] ---
So both the main corps and
the Academy attack were diversions.
[08:18] ---
A little sideshow to entice the Blaze Diabolica.
[08:22] ---
I see you've really got
your heart set on those Exceeds.
[08:26] ---
Won't you come with us?
[08:30] ---
You're quite lacking in manners...
[08:33] ---
...if you would enter a
lady's room without knocking!
[08:36] ---
You'll have to do better than that.
[08:38] ---
Miss Bristol, I'm afraid we
don't have an invitation for you today.
[08:46] ---
Miss!
[08:52] ---
I do wish you wouldn't
make me tell you again.
[08:55] ---
You'll have to do better.
[08:57] ---
That's an Exception for you.
[09:00] ---
You've grown even
stronger and more beautiful.
[09:04] ---
But I don't have time
to entertain you right now.
[09:08] ---
Farewell.
[09:13] ---
What the...
[09:14] ---
Who's in there?
[09:15] ---
It should be the headmistress, Bristol,
[09:17] ---
and then her maidservant.
[09:22] ---
You handle them.
I've got to go look for Miyabi.
[09:27] ---
Did you get separated on the beach?
[09:29] ---
That was a while ago... Sorry.
[09:32] ---
Don't be. It's not your fault.
[09:37] ---
I will find her.
[09:39] ---
I'll go with you. You're better off
with someone who knows this island.
[09:44] ---
Thanks.
[09:49] ---
Over there!
[09:51] ---
Miss? Miss!
[09:53] ---
Lilith! Are you all right?
[09:57] ---
Tor... You see how it is.
[10:01] ---
She jumped in to protect us...
[10:04] ---
I made up my mind to
keep you safe--you and her both.
[10:10] ---
Careful there.
[10:12] ---
Don't worry about me... check on her.
[10:15] ---
"Her"?
[10:16] ---
Sakuya. Shamefully enough,
I let them take off with her.
[10:23] ---
Please, protect her...
keep Sakuya safe...
[10:28] ---
You bet. C'mon, Julie.
[10:31] ---
Ja.
[10:44] ---
Now even you must admit
you have nothing left in your arsenal.
[10:58] ---
Maybe jumping down was asking too much.
[11:01] ---
Still, we made it in time.
[11:04] ---
Yeah, looks that way.
[11:10] ---
Why would you attack us?
[11:13] ---
For something that
has nothing to do with you.
[11:17] ---
I think it already has plenty to do with us.
[11:20] ---
If you die here, it won't anymore.
[11:26] ---
But despite all appearances,
I'm a merciful man.
[11:30] ---
If you dive into the sea
within the next five seconds,
[11:33] ---
I'll overlook your interruption.
[11:35] ---
I don't even need one second.
[11:37] ---
We're not about to
drop the ball on Lilith's request.
[11:41] ---
I refuse as well. I can't swim.
[11:46] ---
What a couple of kidders!
[11:48] ---
Then shall we get started?
[11:52] ---
First to eliminate all obstacles.
[11:55] ---
Let's do this, Julie!
[11:57] ---
Ja!
[12:06] ---
Gotcha!
[12:15] ---
That's some power you've got.
Amazing, really, for flesh and blood.
[12:24] ---
Whoops!
[12:26] ---
Don't let up!
[12:27] ---
Ja!
[12:31] ---
Not quite!
[12:36] ---
Nice and speedy... but lacks punch.
[12:39] ---
But you stopped moving!
[12:52] ---
Okay--now to find the headmistress.
[12:54] ---
A fine blow indeed.
[13:04] ---
That should've been a full square hit.
[13:07] ---
Yes--against my minions,
it might've been fatal.
[13:11] ---
However...
[13:17] ---
...it doesn't work on me.
[13:21] ---
That's the new Unit
developed by Equipment Smith.
[13:27] ---
Just as you Exceeds have surpassed
humanity with the power of Lukifers,
[13:31] ---
so have we, with Units.
[13:34] ---
As you can see.
[13:36] ---
Oh, yeah?
[13:38] ---
My fist, sure--
[13:40] ---
but what about Julie's sword?
[13:44] ---
Are we done with the chitchat?
[13:46] ---
Then I'll make my move.
[13:56] ---
I didn't know you
had this up your sleeve!
[13:58] ---
Hrungnir! The roar of thunder!
[14:18] ---
You okay?
[14:19] ---
No problem... at all...
[14:23] ---
One more round, all right?
[14:24] ---
Ja.
[14:39] ---
Tor!
[14:41] ---
Breaking through your special
move is enough to throw you off?
[14:44] ---
You've got a long way to go.
[14:58] ---
And losing your cool just because
[15:01] ---
your partner is hurt?
[15:03] ---
You're utterly hopeless.
[15:04] ---
And that's why...
[15:06] ---
...you will die!
[15:13] ---
You move well on that leg of yours.
[15:15] ---
Because I made up my mind to protect Julie.
[15:19] ---
Protect?
[15:24] ---
Don't promise something you can't deliver!
[15:32] ---
Say it again.
[15:39] ---
What a lovely voice! Now say it again:
[15:43] ---
What will you do for her?
[15:49] ---
T-Tor...
[15:59] ---
Papa... Papa!
[16:02] ---
Papaaa!
[16:05] ---
Juli... e...
[16:08] ---
Be a good girl and wait there.
[16:10] ---
I'll send you along to
where he's going soon enough.
[16:16] ---
No... I won't let you...
[16:19] ---
I'll protect you--I swore I would!
[16:23] ---
I made that promise...
[16:25] ---
...to myself!
[16:42] ---
That speed...
[16:45] ---
These moves...
[16:47] ---
What on earth--
[16:51] ---
Julie!
[17:02] ---
Julie, stop!
[17:04] ---
It's okay... that's enough!
[17:19] ---
Julie!
[17:21] ---
Julie...
[17:23] ---
Unreal.
[17:25] ---
You've been keeping
all that power under wraps?
[17:28] ---
You!
[17:29] ---
Are you going to pretend that
you'll protect her--in that condition?
[17:34] ---
I'll bounce back as many times as it takes
[17:37] ---
if it's to keep Julie and my friends safe!
[17:39] ---
Hearing those words
and seeing the shape you're in--
[17:43] ---
it really, truly makes me sick.
[17:46] ---
Who could a weakling
like you ever hope to protect?!
[17:54] ---
Please wait a bit longer.
We have the Blaze Diabolica in our grasp.
[17:59] ---
That won't be necessary.
We already have what we came for.
[18:05] ---
But...
[18:06] ---
We must prepare for our
next banquet. Return at once, K.
[18:13] ---
Understood, sir.
[18:17] ---
I never did catch your name.
[18:21] ---
Tor Kokonoe.
[18:23] ---
Tor Kokonoe...
[18:25] ---
The next time we meet,
I'll kill you for sure.
[18:30] ---
And that's Rebels chief K talking.
[18:35] ---
Wait!
[18:40] ---
K of the Rebels...
[18:59] ---
Tor and Julie kept their promise!
[19:03] ---
Yes. We must thank them.
[19:08] ---
If it was you they were after,
why did they leave you be?
[19:13] ---
Elementary, my dear Lilith:
I was not the older gentleman's target.
[19:19] ---
You don't mean...
[19:23] ---
It's me. What is it?
[19:28] ---
An invitation to the Reign Conference--
[19:31] ---
am I right?
[19:43] ---
I just meant to look at you,
not knowing a thing
[19:54] ---
Wanting only to give shape to my feelings
[20:05] ---
We pass each other: I first notice the size of it all
[20:15] ---
And feel it so deeply it hurts
[20:21] ---
Together we can overcome,
even if lost in countless nights
[20:31] ---
Someday we'll be strong for real
[20:41] ---
Alone, our hearts are immature;
together, they are one
[20:52] ---
Trusting in the ties that bind us, we walk on
[21:05] ---
Papa was the hero of Gimle.
[21:10] ---
One winter night,
Papa went into battle... and lost.
[21:17] ---
To him.
[21:21] ---
Papa was kind to the very end.
[21:26] ---
He patted my head
and smiled apologetically...
[21:34] ---
And then the man who killed my
father gave me this scar on my back.
[21:43] ---
I want strength.
[21:46] ---
Strength enough to kill that man.
[21:49] ---
Strength enough to have my revenge.
[21:53] ---
That's why I came to Koryo Academy.
[21:57] ---
Is that what makes
you an Avenger like me?
[22:00] ---
Ja. Tor... I--
[22:04] ---
I still... I still need you to...
[22:10] ---
Julie...
[22:12] ---
Thank you for protecting me.
[22:15] ---
But you're the one
who's always protecting me.
[22:18] ---
Well, of course--I'm your Duo, after all.
[22:22] ---
Ja. And I'm your Duo, Tor.
[22:30] ---
I want to keep Julie safe,
[22:34] ---
so she won't be hurt like this again...
[22:36] ---
And that's why I want to get stronger.
[22:48] ---
Will it really make me stronger?
[22:51] ---
Yes--it has a special
tendency to strengthen those
[22:55] ---
who recognize their weakness.
[22:59] ---
I guarantee it.
[23:08] ---
Miss, I'm offering you an opportunity.
[23:13] ---
A chance to grow stronger
from the bottom of your heart.
[23:17] ---
If I were stronger... Tor would...
[23:25] ---
I didn't have the slightest idea.
[23:28] ---
Not about why this Academy was made,
[23:30] ---
and not about what it was making.
[23:33] ---
None of it.
[23:35] ---
Next time: "Reign Conference."
[23:35] ---
"Next time: Reign Conference"
[23:38] ---
Such is the reality of our world.

[00:15] ---
Miyabi... where could she have gone?
[00:27] ---
Let's look for her one more time, Tor.
[00:30] ---
Yeah...
[00:31] ---
Okie doke! Attention, please!
[00:34] ---
Our super-fun seaside
camp has come to an end,
[00:37] ---
so we're heading on back!
[00:38] ---
I'm staying! Please, let me search for Miyabi!
[00:42] ---
What's that? Defying orders
from the headmistress, hmm?
[00:47] ---
Even if you stay behind, you can't do much!
[00:50] ---
But--
[00:52] ---
I'm telling you: shut it.
[00:56] ---
Of course, I'm not of much help myself!
[01:03] ---
Dammit!
[01:05] ---
Tor...
[01:27] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:33] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:38] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:43] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:48] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:53] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:59] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[02:08] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[02:13] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:18] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:24] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:28] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:34] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:45] ---
"#10 Reign Conference"
[02:57] ---
We'll take it from here.
I'm sure Miyabi's just fine.
[03:04] ---
That was days ago.
[03:06] ---
We still haven't received
word that she was found safe.
[03:17] ---
Concentrate, Kokonoe!
[03:19] ---
Uh-huh...
[03:23] ---
Figures. You'd think Tachibana'd
be the most upset with Hotaka gone.
[03:29] ---
Tomoe is strong.
[03:34] ---
Tachibana...
[03:38] ---
What gives, Kokonoe? Giving up already?
[03:44] ---
At this rate, he'll be dead
before he has the chance!
[03:54] ---
Isn't this how it always goes with Tachibana?
[03:58] ---
Let's try a fresh start.
I'm coming at you again, Kokonoe.
[04:02] ---
Huh? Uh, okay.
[04:21] ---
Hey, Miyabi, can I borrow a towel?
[04:45] ---
Thanks, Tomoe.
[05:10] ---
When do you think
Miyabi'll get out of the hospital?
[05:14] ---
Poor thing, getting hurt at summer camp.
[05:18] ---
I hope she gets better soon.
[05:19] ---
Me, too.
[05:21] ---
Not a word of this Hotaka thing to anyone.
[05:23] ---
It'll just wind up upsetting the other students.
[05:29] ---
Guess who?
[05:33] ---
Lilith.
[05:36] ---
Correct!
[05:37] ---
That's my future husband for you!
[05:40] ---
Who else would do something like that?
[05:44] ---
You know me so well! I love it!
[05:48] ---
You're doing better than I thought.
[05:55] ---
Julie, right?
[05:57] ---
Yes, Tor--that's my Duo for you.
[06:00] ---
The ties that bind us
are stronger than anyone else's.
[06:04] ---
Well! That's a bit much!
[06:10] ---
Ah, Tomoe!
[06:12] ---
Guess who?
[06:14] ---
Wh-Wh-What are you doing, Lilith?!
[06:17] ---
That's our Tomoe! Bingo!
Hmm, they're not half bad...
[06:22] ---
What do you mean, "not half bad"?! Hey!
[06:28] ---
Is that Lilith trying to be nice to us?
[06:33] ---
Have you no shame as a woman?!
[06:36] ---
It's okay--they won't get any smaller.
[06:39] ---
Heck, they might even get bigger!
[06:40] ---
J-Julie?
[06:41] ---
Say what?!
[06:43] ---
You're impossible!
[06:48] ---
Tor... Why?
[06:51] ---
I'm sorry. I'm flattered you
feel that way, but I...
[06:57] ---
Is it... because you're weak?
[07:11] ---
How humiliating, Tor Kokonoe.
You can't protect anyone.
[07:23] ---
My brother...
[07:30] ---
You're weak--that's why she died.
[07:38] ---
I wonder how it could have turned out
[07:40] ---
if you'd only had this power.
[07:55] ---
Tor... was it that dream again?
[07:58] ---
Julie...
[08:01] ---
Sorry I woke you.
[08:07] ---
Julie?
[08:10] ---
Please, don't move.
[08:14] ---
This is what Mama would always do for me
[08:18] ---
on nights when I couldn't
sleep for thinking about Papa.
[08:28] ---
Thanks, Julie.
[08:38] ---
I summoned you here for one reason:
[08:41] ---
I would like to repay you for rescuing me
[08:44] ---
from the Rebels the other day.
[08:46] ---
Repay? But I don't...
[08:54] ---
Tor Kokonoe, I give my
permission for you to undergo
[08:58] ---
the Level 4 Rite of Sublimation.
[09:00] ---
But it wasn't just me. I had Julie, and Lilith--
[09:04] ---
and together, we figured it out somehow.
[09:07] ---
So why am I the only one here?
[09:11] ---
Because you are unique. An Unrivaled.
[09:15] ---
But leveling me up and not everyone else?
[09:19] ---
What is there to hesitate about?
Don't you want more power?
[09:26] ---
Isn't that why you came to the Academy?
[09:30] ---
With power, you could
have been able to avert a tragedy...
[09:33] ---
Don't you think so?
[09:42] ---
Maybe so. If I'd had power, I...
[09:46] ---
Then again...
[10:10] ---
I'm sorry. I don't think I can--
[10:14] ---
Let's do this, then:
I leave the choice up to you.
[10:22] ---
But this world isn't so kind as
to let you have your way...
[10:28] ---
...especially when the world is
grown thick with malice.
[10:36] ---
Soon the Academy will
be holding the Reign Conference.
[10:41] ---
Reign... Conference?
[10:44] ---
Equipment Smith, the man
who created the Rebels, will be there.
[11:10] ---
Welcome home, Tor.
I'll get some apple tea ready.
[11:18] ---
Tor?
[11:36] ---
The pride of the Dorn Agency,
[11:39] ---
the elite security force called the Ethnarch.
[11:46] ---
Think they're sooo special,
just because they've graduated!
[11:53] ---
No leaving the school grounds, huh?
[11:55] ---
I'm not really sure, but it looks
like something big is going on.
[12:05] ---
Pushing even the Level 3
students into security duty?
[12:08] ---
This place sure knows
how to use people, all right.
[12:11] ---
Goes to show you just
how important this meeting is.
[12:14] ---
And as far as real-life practice goes,
you could do a lot worse.
[12:19] ---
Stay on your guard!
[12:20] ---
You're trying too hard.
[12:23] ---
Careful not to strain yourself, now, kiddo.
[12:26] ---
If anything happens, let us handle it, okay?
[12:30] ---
Yes, sir. We appreciate your guidance!
[12:34] ---
Although ideally nothing will happen, of course.
[12:47] ---
What presence...
I guess that's Reign for you, huh?
[12:54] ---
An invitation to the Reign Conference--
[12:57] ---
am I right?
[12:58] ---
Sakuya! You--
[13:13] ---
Lilith!
[13:18] ---
Tor? It's not like you to leave your post.
[13:22] ---
There's something I want to know,
and you might be able to tell me.
[13:26] ---
Oh, dear. If you want to
know how I feel about you, Tor,
[13:29] ---
I already told you that ages ago.
[13:32] ---
Equipment Smith. The Reign Conference.
[13:36] ---
What the hell is going on?
[13:37] ---
That's what I want to know.
[13:42] ---
I don't know who told you I knew...
[13:45] ---
...but I won't say this again.
[13:51] ---
Equipment Smith.
[13:53] ---
A key member of a certain
nation's shadow military organization.
[13:57] ---
And the group he put together,
the god-slaying corps: the Rebels.
[14:05] ---
But for what purpose?
[14:06] ---
Their ultimate goal... is Absolute Duo.
[14:11] ---
Absolute Duo?
[14:14] ---
May you someday reach Absolute Duo.
[14:20] ---
People brought together
with Absolute Duo at their core...
[14:23] ---
That's Reign.
[14:29] ---
And now, its members are all gathered here.
[14:33] ---
Hey. Just making myself
at home here, Miss Diabolica.
[14:38] ---
I am ashamed to have
such meager hospitality to offer,
[14:42] ---
Grave Phantom.
[14:45] ---
Enchanté. A pleasure to make
your acquaintance, Diabolica.
[14:51] ---
Tempest Judge, is it?
Thank you for coming, and welcome.
[14:58] ---
Looks like you and Judge
are still like oil and water,
[15:01] ---
eh, Darkray Disaster?
[15:03] ---
Like you have to ask.
[15:06] ---
What a lovely Academy you have.
[15:08] ---
If only we had more of
such schools in my country!
[15:13] ---
I thank you, Silent Diva.
[15:23] ---
Sorry to keep you all waiting.
[15:31] ---
Absolute Duo... But what is it?
[15:36] ---
The final frontier that lies
beyond soul-power's extremes.
[15:41] ---
Let's leave it at that.
[15:42] ---
The final frontier...
[15:44] ---
Soul-power--you mean,
beyond the extremes of our Blazes?
[15:49] ---
Is that why we were gathered here?
[15:54] ---
Koryo Academy was founded
for only one purpose:
[15:58] ---
to use Lukifers to awaken the power
within our souls and create Exceeds.
[16:06] ---
All to reach Absolute Duo.
[16:09] ---
The path that reaches Absolute Duo...
[16:14] ---
She's trying to do that all by herself.
[16:18] ---
Contrary to everyone else...
[16:21] ---
...and rejecting all others.
[16:23] ---
An alliance?
[16:25] ---
Yes. An enticing prospect, no?
[16:30] ---
Didn't see that coming!
[16:32] ---
Très bien! To think a member
of Reign would be looking to team up!
[16:38] ---
You must know how powerful my Units are.
[16:42] ---
By joining forces with your Exceeds,
[16:45] ---
it'd be no exaggeration to
say we could outshine all the rest.
[16:49] ---
What do you say, Miss Sakuya?
[16:56] ---
I decline.
[17:01] ---
That which I seek and
that which you seek, Mr. Smith,
[17:05] ---
lay down two paths that will never cross.
[17:07] ---
The outcomes, too, will naturally differ.
[17:11] ---
Thus joining forces would be sheer folly.
[17:15] ---
Soul-power, eh?
[17:18] ---
What passes for training here
is but the impurity of the everyday...
[17:25] ---
Dear me, it's all too dull for this old man!
[17:29] ---
I doubt you will ever understand.
[17:33] ---
After all, you once lost to my grandfather
[17:37] ---
and were cut out of his organization.
[17:41] ---
Isn't that right, Equipment Smith?
[17:49] ---
It seems you wish to fulfill
your ambitions of days gone by.
[17:54] ---
I have no interest in the
grumblings of a pitiful old man.
[18:07] ---
That's harsh!
[18:09] ---
They say the witch's words
are steeped in poison;
[18:12] ---
I didn't know they'd be quite so toxic.
[18:15] ---
I can hardly back
down quietly after such insults.
[18:22] ---
Why don't we settle this
with a game, Miss Sakuya?
[18:28] ---
A game, you say?
[18:30] ---
Easy as pie: I'll have
my Rebels attack this Academy,
[18:36] ---
and your Exceeds will stop them.
[18:39] ---
Whoever wipes out the other side first wins.
[18:43] ---
Call it... a killing game.
[18:54] ---
Very well.
[18:56] ---
Then it's decided.
[19:01] ---
Tor?
[19:02] ---
Absolute Duo...
[19:04] ---
Honestly, I don't know what
kind of tremendous thing it is,
[19:08] ---
but all these people, being hurt in its pursuit?
[19:12] ---
It's true: I did come to
the Academy seeking power.
[19:14] ---
"stare"
[19:17] ---
But...
[19:19] ---
But now...
[19:24] ---
You lose one thing in gaining another.
[19:28] ---
Such is the reality of our world.
[19:33] ---
Doesn't make it less sad.
[19:36] ---
You may be right.
[19:39] ---
What you and the headmistress
are saying--you may be right.
[19:43] ---
But...
[19:44] ---
I don't want to admit it.
[19:48] ---
Honestly. That's you all over, Tor.
[20:01] ---
What? A Rebels attack?!
[20:03] ---
What?!
[20:04] ---
In ten minutes' time?
Wait, how do you know that?
[20:08] ---
A killing game?!
[20:11] ---
Look!
[20:20] ---
Now, let the feast begin--
[20:22] ---
a bacchanalia of bloodshed!
[20:35] ---
I just meant to look at you,
not knowing a thing
[20:46] ---
Wanting only to give shape to my feelings
[20:57] ---
We pass each other: I first notice the size of it all
[21:07] ---
And feel it so deeply it hurts
[21:13] ---
Together we can overcome,
even if lost in countless nights
[21:23] ---
Someday we'll be strong for real
[21:33] ---
Alone, our hearts are immature;
together, they are one
[21:44] ---
Trusting in the ties that bind us, we walk on
[22:08] ---
Many thanks for inviting us.
[22:11] ---
A killing game...
[22:12] ---
Our master sure likes
playing around, doesn't she?
[22:18] ---
Come on, Julie.
[22:19] ---
Ja.
[22:35] ---
Miyabi?! You're all right!
[22:37] ---
Wait!
[22:39] ---
Why are you stopping me?
[22:47] ---
Watch this.
[23:13] ---
Miyabi?
[23:17] ---
I...
[23:20] ---
I'm stronger now, Tor.
[23:26] ---
I wanted to be stronger.
[23:28] ---
So I could catch up with the rest.
[23:30] ---
So I could stand before... him.
[23:32] ---
So I could be true to myself.
[23:35] ---
"Killing Game"
[23:35] ---
Next time: "Killing Game."
[23:38] ---
Watch this, Tor...!

[00:01] ---
Look...
[00:02] ---
This is me, reborn.
[00:06] ---
Wh-What's going on here, Miyabi?
[00:09] ---
You look like...
[00:11] ---
Stand back, kids!
[00:13] ---
We'll neutralize her!
[00:14] ---
Yeah!
[00:15] ---
No, wait!
[00:15] ---
She's--
[00:16] ---
Blaze.
[00:25] ---
You're in my way.
[00:37] ---
Did you see that, Tor?
[00:39] ---
Look how strong I am now!
[00:43] ---
What did you do to Miyabi?
[00:47] ---
Just gave her a little gift.
[00:50] ---
Yes...
[00:51] ---
...heavens-piercing, God-slaying power!
[00:57] ---
Here I come, Tor.
[01:13] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[01:18] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[01:23] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[01:28] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[01:33] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[01:38] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[01:44] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[01:53] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[01:58] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[02:03] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[02:09] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[02:13] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[02:19] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[02:30] ---
"#11 Killing Game"
[02:30] ---
Here I come, Tor.
[02:35] ---
Tor!
[02:42] ---
Sorry. And thanks.
[02:44] ---
Just as long as you're not hurt.
[02:50] ---
Now you're interfering, too, Julie?
[02:53] ---
Ja, if you mean to hurt Tor.
Even if you are Miyabi.
[02:58] ---
Blaze!
[03:06] ---
The power to flatten Ethnarchs...
That's not Level 2 Hotaka stuff!
[03:11] ---
There are ways to make it possible.
That's all it is.
[03:15] ---
Don't tell me that's Rebels equipment!
[03:17] ---
Precisely! She is the culmination
of Equipment Smith's research!
[03:24] ---
The fusion of Exceed and Unit!
[03:28] ---
What do you think, Miss Witch?
[03:30] ---
The power you tried to deny
is really quite something, no?
[03:39] ---
Now feast your eyes on this!
[03:42] ---
My greatest masterpiece,
[03:44] ---
soon to win me this killing game!
[03:50] ---
A fusion of Exceed and Unit?
[03:53] ---
Yes, completed with her cooperation.
[03:57] ---
It was worth our stopping
by that island after all.
[04:02] ---
Why, you...
[04:04] ---
Get away from her, you swine!
[04:07] ---
Whoops!
[04:10] ---
Miyabi! He bullied you into this, didn't he?
[04:14] ---
Don't worry--we'll protect you!
[04:18] ---
Protect me?
[04:19] ---
Tomoe! Get away!
[04:25] ---
Tachibana!
[04:27] ---
But why would you say you'll protect me?
[04:31] ---
Look how weak you are, Tomoe.
[04:35] ---
Miyabi...
[04:40] ---
A Blaze can harm flesh and blood...
[04:43] ---
...when it's wielded with deadly intent.
[04:46] ---
No...
[04:48] ---
Miyabi's probably been brainwashed.
[04:52] ---
Or something close to it, anyway.
[04:57] ---
It appears you've been keeping a
close eye on this Academy's students
[05:01] ---
for quite some time now.
[05:04] ---
The tough body of an Exceed,
a fragile, imbalanced spirit,
[05:09] ---
and the desire for strength...
[05:13] ---
That young woman was truly ideal.
[05:17] ---
Just a little inspiration,
and she's gained incomparable strength,
[05:22] ---
becoming the perfect soldier
[05:25] ---
who'll fight to the death if ordered.
[05:28] ---
Have you had a change of
heart about that alliance, Miss Witch?
[05:35] ---
Yes. I've come to a decision.
[05:37] ---
Oh?
[05:39] ---
First we get rid of your inside men.
[05:42] ---
An old man observing female
students for underhanded purposes
[05:47] ---
will influence the way the school is run.
[05:51] ---
She's not wrong!
[05:59] ---
That man gave me power. I was so weak,
and look how strong I am now.
[06:07] ---
Brainwashing--that's low!
[06:09] ---
I won't argue there.
[06:11] ---
But she herself did come looking for power.
[06:14] ---
Ridiculous! Miyabi didn't
want this kind of power!
[06:20] ---
You're so funny,
Tomoe, saying I didn't want this.
[06:26] ---
What do you even know about me, Tomoe?
[06:31] ---
Miyabi...
[06:33] ---
A girl pursuing power,
all for the boy who spurned her...
[06:39] ---
Heroic, don't you think?
[06:44] ---
You've been under observation all this time.
[06:47] ---
Stop.
[06:50] ---
That was delightful--just like
watching a scene from a teen movie.
[06:55] ---
Stop that! Blaze!
[07:02] ---
Miyabi?
[07:04] ---
Why will you look at anyone else but me?
[07:07] ---
Tell me, Tor!
[07:12] ---
Such power...
[07:13] ---
Look! Look at me!
[07:15] ---
Look!
[07:16] ---
Behold my power!
[07:20] ---
Miyabi!
[07:21] ---
Tor! Tor!
[07:27] ---
What are you standing
around for, you blockhead?!
[07:29] ---
First we have to stop Miyabi!
[07:31] ---
Ja--if we use our Blazes,
we can stop her without hurting her.
[07:36] ---
You guys...
[07:38] ---
Interrupting me again?
[07:41] ---
Why don't you understand? Tor is all I need!
[07:49] ---
Julie!
[07:50] ---
Nej! Everything's fine!
[07:53] ---
Did you see that, Tor?
[07:56] ---
Look how strong I am now!
[07:59] ---
Miyabi...
[08:01] ---
Remember what you said
back then, Tor? That you were weak?
[08:07] ---
So I just...
[08:09] ---
I got strong for you.
[08:12] ---
To destroy anything
that would hurt you, disturb you:
[08:16] ---
to protect you.
[08:19] ---
And if I did,
[08:21] ---
you'd be with me forever.
[08:24] ---
No, Miyabi--that's not right!
[08:29] ---
Tor, Tor, Tor, Tor!
[08:35] ---
Miyabi...
[08:42] ---
I...
[08:44] ---
I had no idea...
[08:50] ---
Such fantastic strength
against Exceeds--and even an Exception!
[08:56] ---
But that's enough playtime for now.
[09:00] ---
Where do you think you're going, K?!
[09:03] ---
I know we're in the middle of a game and all...
[09:13] ---
...but I must greet the Blaze Diabolica
on behalf of the corps.
[09:20] ---
You wouldn't hurt Sakuya?!
[09:22] ---
With her brains and resourcefulness,
[09:24] ---
the Witch will make for an excellent subject.
[09:28] ---
Now if you'll excuse me. Enjoy your game, all.
[09:33] ---
Like hell!
[09:36] ---
Tor!
[09:39] ---
No, Tor--watch how strong I am...
[09:42] ---
...more...
[09:43] ---
...and more...
[09:44] ---
...and more...
[09:45] ---
...and more and more...
[09:47] ---
Stay and watch me!
[09:50] ---
Huh?
[09:53] ---
Tachibana!
[09:55] ---
Can... can you leave Miyabi to me?
[10:00] ---
But that's crazy, Tomoe!
[10:02] ---
I know it is! But if I don't face
her now, what kind of Duo am I?
[10:09] ---
Please... leave us!
[10:12] ---
Let me go, Tomoe!
[10:16] ---
Come on, Tor.
[10:18] ---
Julie?! But--
[10:20] ---
I want to trust in Tomoe...
[10:22] ---
...and in a Duo's bonds.
[10:25] ---
All right.
[10:29] ---
No objection here.
[10:32] ---
She's all yours, Tomoe.
[10:35] ---
He's gone... Everyone keeps getting in my way.
[10:39] ---
I won't let you get away with this, Tomoe!
[10:42] ---
Miyabi... I'll be the one to stop you!
[10:54] ---
Rebels?
[11:01] ---
Lilith! Tora!
[11:03] ---
Go! We'll hold them off here!
[11:08] ---
It pains me to say this, but...
I'll ask you again:
[11:13] ---
Go help Sakuya!
[11:15] ---
Got it!
[11:16] ---
Ja!
[11:24] ---
You settled for the short
end of the stick here, eh?
[11:27] ---
It's the wife's job to support her husband.
[11:30] ---
It does sting a bit, though.
[11:32] ---
You're more awkward
than I thought, Lilith Bristol.
[11:36] ---
As are you, Aoi Torasaki.
[11:38] ---
Okay, shall we do this as an ad-hoc Duo?
[11:41] ---
Yeah: So bound, we two shall remain
together... and so on and so forth!
[11:46] ---
C'mon!
[11:48] ---
Go big or go home!
[11:52] ---
K?!
[11:54] ---
What took you so long?
[11:56] ---
You're not after the headmistress?
[11:58] ---
I knew you'd come after me if I said that.
[12:01] ---
I want only one thing:
[12:03] ---
revenge for our last encounter.
[12:06] ---
More than anything,
[12:07] ---
I want to see the look
on your face, Tor Kokonoe,
[12:12] ---
when the person you must protect
is stolen away right before your eyes!
[12:17] ---
We won't let your wishes come true.
[12:21] ---
We're not about to let that happen--ever!
[12:32] ---
Ugh! How long are you going
to keep getting in my way?
[12:36] ---
Forever!
[12:39] ---
For as long as you have
that borrowed power, Miyabi!
[12:44] ---
What's wrong with it?
Our Lukifers are borrowed, too.
[12:49] ---
No! If we don't better ourselves,
our Lukifers won't work!
[12:53] ---
What we gain from hard
work and overcoming difficulty--
[12:57] ---
That's real strength!
[13:00] ---
You must have realized that--isn't that
why you've been working so hard?
[13:05] ---
Duo, my foot...
[13:07] ---
Miyabi?
[13:08] ---
Duo, my foot!
[13:13] ---
I didn't do all that hard
work for such lofty reasons!
[13:17] ---
I just wanted Tor...
[13:18] ---
I wanted the person
I liked to notice me! That's all!
[13:25] ---
A girl pursuing power,
all for the boy who spurned her...
[13:31] ---
I see...
[13:33] ---
I really don't...
[13:35] ---
...know anything...
[13:41] ---
Aren't you being rather cruel?
[13:44] ---
Leaving one friend behind
to deal with the Fusion--
[13:48] ---
that's not what sane people do.
[13:51] ---
Don't even try psyching us out.
[13:54] ---
We believe in the bonds between Duos--
between Tomoe and Miyabi.
[14:03] ---
I've got to catch up to Tor...
[14:06] ---
Not so fast...
[14:08] ---
Don't you ever give up?
[14:11] ---
You're right. I was totally clueless.
[14:16] ---
But still, Miyabi...
[14:18] ---
That power of yours--it's wrong!
[14:21] ---
And Kokonoe would say the same thing.
[14:24] ---
He's honest like that.
[14:28] ---
What a horrible thing to say...
after I've gotten stronger for him!
[14:32] ---
Tor would never say anything of the sort!
[14:40] ---
Then tell me this:
[14:42] ---
Did you... did you tell him?
[14:46] ---
Tell Kokonoe how you feel?
[14:49] ---
I did... but he turned me down.
Because I'm weak.
[14:56] ---
I see...
[14:58] ---
Then, Miyabi, you don't
need that kind of power after all.
[15:03] ---
There you go again!
[15:05] ---
But only because...
[15:06] ---
...you're strong enough already!
[15:13] ---
I'm not very womanly,
and I sure can't take a hint.
[15:16] ---
Honestly, I've never been in love.
[15:19] ---
But even I know how hard it is
to confess your feelings for someone!
[15:26] ---
Miyabi...
[15:28] ---
...you're much, much stronger
and braver than someone like me.
[15:35] ---
Stronger than you...?
[15:38] ---
I'm ashamed to have thought
I was supporting you all this time.
[15:42] ---
And that's why I can't bear to
see you drowning in that false power!
[15:47] ---
Because you can grow stronger without all that!
[15:52] ---
I just meant to look at you,
not knowing a thing
[15:53] ---
Shut up! Shut up, shut up!
[15:57] ---
Without this power, I can't face Tor!
[16:01] ---
And with it, I can be with him forever!
[16:02] ---
Wanting only to give shape to my feelings
[16:04] ---
Don't give up!
Keep trying with the strength you have!
[16:09] ---
That won't work--I know it won't!
[16:12] ---
I can't stand the thought
of being turned down again.
[16:13] ---
We pass each other: I first notice the size of it all
[16:15] ---
I'm sick of all that pain and sorrow...
[16:19] ---
You have me!
[16:22] ---
When you're in pain, I'll hold you up!
[16:23] ---
And feel it so deeply it hurts
[16:24] ---
When you're sad, I'll walk beside you!
[16:27] ---
Let's get stronger together, you and me--
[16:29] ---
Together we can overcome,
even if lost in countless nights
[16:30] ---
as a real Duo this time!
[16:33] ---
Tomoe...
[16:39] ---
Someday we'll be strong for real
[16:41] ---
Answer me!
[16:43] ---
Miyabi!
[16:44] ---
Shut up! I'll destroy
anything that gets in my way!
[16:49] ---
First let me apologize, Miyabi.
I'm just not that clever.
[16:49] ---
Alone, our hearts are immature;
together, they are one
[16:55] ---
This is the only way I can
think of to make you open your eyes.
[16:59] ---
Now...
[17:00] ---
Trusting in the ties that bind us, we walk on
[17:00] ---
...grit your teeth!
[17:14] ---
Miyabi...
[17:17] ---
Tomoe...
[17:20] ---
Are you okay, Miyabi?
[17:23] ---
That... really hurt.
[17:26] ---
Yeah... it hurt me, too.
[17:29] ---
I'm sorry, Tomoe.
[17:34] ---
No sweat. That's what a Duo is for.
[17:37] ---
Yeah... you're right.
[17:40] ---
Thanks... Tomoe.
[17:45] ---
The device has stopped working?!
[17:47] ---
What? Inconceivable!
[17:50] ---
Told you, K!
[17:51] ---
We said Tomoe would rescue Miyabi.
[17:55] ---
Don't jump for joy just yet!
[18:03] ---
Julie!
[18:06] ---
There it is! Tor Kokonoe!
[18:10] ---
The look on your face when your friend is hurt!
[18:13] ---
But we're just getting started!
[18:19] ---
Now, show me more! More!
[18:31] ---
Julie... are you... all right?
[18:33] ---
Ja--it's just a scrape.
[18:37] ---
Tor! What's all that blood?!
[18:40] ---
It's no big deal.
[18:43] ---
How magnificent!
[18:45] ---
Your resolve to protect
your friend was the real deal!
[18:50] ---
I did want to get a teary sound bite from you
[18:54] ---
after you failed to keep her safe, but...
[18:58] ---
Just how low will you go?
[19:00] ---
You make me sick.
[19:02] ---
Risking your life to protect
a special someone? God forbid!
[19:10] ---
Run... please, get out of here!
Don't worry about me--save yourself!
[19:15] ---
Of course I'll worry about you!
[19:17] ---
Tor!
[19:18] ---
I... I...
[19:20] ---
I'll kill you!
[19:22] ---
I will kill you!
[19:24] ---
I want to protect you, Julie. To be your strength.
[19:29] ---
Stop, Julie!
[19:31] ---
This world isn't so kind
as to let you have your way...
[19:37] ---
I'll protect you--from whatever
malice comes your way!
[19:41] ---
That's my resolve!
[19:43] ---
And what power will that give you?
[19:45] ---
The embodiment of soul-power: my Blaze!
[19:49] ---
K! Watch this!
[19:52] ---
Fire!
[20:01] ---
No! Wh-Why...
[20:03] ---
Why are you still alive, Tor Kokonoe?!
[20:07] ---
To protect someone
important to me... that's why!
[20:12] ---
Kill him! Kill hiiim!
[20:22] ---
We made it in time for the last dance.
[20:25] ---
Hurry up and get it over with!
[20:30] ---
Hang on, okay? I'm going to finish this.
[20:33] ---
Ja.
[20:35] ---
I'll be waiting.
[20:37] ---
K! It all ends with this one blow!
[20:40] ---
Tor Kokonoe!
[20:44] ---
Head off the fang! Aegis Desire!
[20:49] ---
No!
[20:50] ---
It can't be!
[20:52] ---
It can't beee!
[20:53] ---
Pierce... and crush!
[21:01] ---
I...
[21:04] ---
We...
[21:07] ---
We won!
[21:08] ---
Impossible!
[21:11] ---
My Unit!
[21:14] ---
It seems like this evening's
soirée has come to an end.
[21:20] ---
What a ridiculous farce.
[21:23] ---
Well, I found it rather entertaining.
[21:25] ---
Until the next banquet, then.
[21:29] ---
Au revoir, everyone.
[21:31] ---
Well? What do you think of this
soul-sparkle that you'd deemed impure?
[21:37] ---
If you cannot understand,
it must be beyond you.
[21:45] ---
A little girl!
[21:48] ---
Me, Equipment Smith, beaten by a doll like you!
[21:54] ---
Tor Kokonoe... will you
live up to my expectations?
[22:04] ---
I... I lost?
[22:07] ---
To that pushover?
[22:12] ---
You worthless stray! Letting that
brat of a girl make a fool out of me!
[22:18] ---
This is all your fault, you imbecile!
[22:22] ---
Did you forget the kindness I showed you?
[22:25] ---
Scum like you doesn't even deserve to live!
[22:34] ---
What's so funny?
[22:37] ---
You leave me no choice...
[22:41] ---
Go forth and destroy it all:
the girl, the school--everything!
[22:48] ---
Y-You bastard...
[22:51] ---
So the only person you can trust is yourself.
[22:58] ---
H-Help...
[22:59] ---
No one's here to protect you.
[23:04] ---
And a stingy old man is quite a nuisance.
[23:08] ---
But...
[23:10] ---
...as long as I have this...
[23:16] ---
...the ultimate armor, Destruction...
[23:20] ---
I know I can come after you, Tor Kokonoe!
[23:25] ---
Why does my soul-power take
the form of a shield?
[23:29] ---
I finally know the answer--
[23:32] ---
and it's all thanks to you, Julie!
[23:34] ---
"Absolute Duo"
[23:34] ---
The finale: "Absolute Duo."
[23:37] ---
Head off the fang! Aegis Desire!

[00:03] ---
We managed to pull it off.
[00:05] ---
Ja. All thanks to you.
[00:08] ---
That's my future husband for you!
[00:11] ---
He only did what was expected.
[00:14] ---
Where do you think you're going?
[00:17] ---
None of this is over yet.
[00:24] ---
You bastard!
[00:40] ---
A Blaze is at once your weapon
and your greatest weakness.
[00:57] ---
Lilith! Tora!
[01:00] ---
Even an Exception like her
[01:02] ---
will soon crack...
[01:07] ---
Just as I thought:
Exceeds are no match at all...
[01:14] ---
...not for this Destruction!
[01:25] ---
"#12 Absolute Duo"
[01:38] ---
Julie!
[01:39] ---
It's just a scratch!
[01:46] ---
Tor!
[02:01] ---
Do you think you can win
with her holding you back?
[02:04] ---
Julie's my Duo!
[02:07] ---
I just don't understand.
[02:09] ---
Why do you need another person's
presence to make you stronger?
[02:18] ---
Going to spout some nonsense
about your resolve being your strength?
[02:32] ---
No wonder you're so fragile and weak!
[02:43] ---
Now you'll see how powerless you really are!
[02:54] ---
Did you forget about this?
[02:59] ---
Koryo Academy... what a wonderful place.
[03:04] ---
You learn together,
compete together, laugh together...
[03:10] ---
The ideal place to spend your brightest years.
[03:19] ---
So very, very wonderful. It makes me sick.
[03:30] ---
Stop!
[03:36] ---
Why go to such lengths?
Do you really have nothing?
[03:39] ---
No one to keep safe?
No wanting to keep someone safe?
[03:45] ---
That doesn't matter in the slightest.
[03:51] ---
Power--power is everything to me!
[04:03] ---
No!
[04:10] ---
Not so fast, you little shit!
[04:38] ---
I've got this--you go smash him to pieces!
[04:44] ---
Tsukimi!
[04:49] ---
What's a girl gotta do to
get a little shuteye, anyway?
[05:00] ---
I should never have become a teacher.
[05:13] ---
Oh, well.
[05:20] ---
What futility.
[05:25] ---
And you think that'll help somehow?
[05:27] ---
Nej. But we've made a blind spot.
[05:36] ---
Ah, too bad.
[05:41] ---
From this close, I won't miss.
[05:53] ---
Your injuries okay?
[05:54] ---
Ja. No problem at all.
[05:58] ---
Let's see if I can make you behave.
[06:03] ---
Julie!
[06:10] ---
Tor?
[06:21] ---
Tor!
[06:37] ---
See? You really did protect her.
[06:43] ---
Now die an awkward
death in front of your friend...
[06:46] ---
...so it can eat away at her soul forevermore.
[06:58] ---
Tor?
[07:00] ---
Tor?
[07:02] ---
Tor?
[07:04] ---
Tor?
[07:05] ---
Tor...
[07:07] ---
Tor! Tor?
[07:09] ---
Your precious Duo is
calling! Come on: stand up.
[07:10] ---
Tor! Tor! Tor!
[07:14] ---
Tor!
[07:14] ---
Take out your Blaze!
[07:16] ---
You'll protect her, right? Tor Kokonoe!
[07:25] ---
You won't get away with this...
[07:27] ---
Never...
[07:29] ---
Never, ever...
[07:31] ---
You'll never get away with this!
[07:34] ---
There it is: the dark
power that once wounded me.
[08:17] ---
This... this power!
[08:21] ---
Mighty enough to surpass this Destruction...
[08:24] ---
I... I refuse to accept it!
[08:37] ---
This is it!
[09:00] ---
Julie...
[09:06] ---
No--Julie--
[09:09] ---
Don't...
[09:27] ---
Julie... you can't!
[09:37] ---
Tor... Kokonoe...
[09:48] ---
Head off Julie's fang!
[09:50] ---
Aegis Desire!
[10:02] ---
Julie, I know where you're coming from.
[10:06] ---
Someone important to you was killed,
and you seek power to avenge him.
[10:13] ---
You're an Avenger, same as me...
[10:17] ---
But every time I get power, I lose track...
[10:21] ---
Power... revenge... is that what's right?
[10:25] ---
How is this power any different from his?
[10:43] ---
Julie... it's all thanks to you.
[10:47] ---
The time we've spent
together has made me realize:
[10:53] ---
I wanted to protect.
[10:55] ---
That's why my soul, my Blaze...
isn't a weapon, but a shield.
[11:02] ---
That's what my power is meant for!
[11:08] ---
And that's why, Julie...
[11:10] ---
I'm going to protect you!
[11:28] ---
Julie... that's enough.
[11:30] ---
I'm not dead. I'm alive.
[11:37] ---
Please... come back to me, Julie!
[11:51] ---
T... Tor?
[11:53] ---
That's right.
[11:57] ---
Tor... Tor, I... I--
[12:01] ---
I told you I'd always keep you safe.
[12:11] ---
Your big brother will always keep you safe.
[12:17] ---
The power of your resolve...
[12:20] ---
There's no such thing!
[12:26] ---
Enough. It'd be pointless to keep going.
[12:29] ---
Yes... everything is pointless once you've lost.
[12:34] ---
And that's why I'll kill you both!
[12:37] ---
Because power is all I have left!
[12:42] ---
Then I'll protect her to the very end!
[12:47] ---
Julie?
[12:48] ---
And I'll protect you...
[12:50] ---
...because I'm your Duo.
[12:53] ---
That's right.
[12:58] ---
Aegis Desire!
[13:01] ---
Die, Tor Kokonoe... Julie Sigtuna!
[13:14] ---
It's over!
[13:18] ---
Why... how?!
[13:27] ---
What I give Julie...
[13:29] ---
...and what I give Tor...
[13:32] ---
We lived in a closed-up past
[13:32] ---
...is protection!
[13:37] ---
With an ever-distant future and time unmoving
[13:42] ---
Finding in our battle now
what we were searching for
[13:47] ---
The power to believe in each other,
beyond even destiny
[13:50] ---
Ridiculous... This power--where...
[13:52] ---
We'll get stronger,
you and me: a pair to the end
[13:55] ---
Alone, I can't defeat you.
[13:57] ---
This light reflects a bond
even deeper than our wounds
[13:59] ---
But I have Julie:
[14:03] ---
a friend to whom I'm bound!
[14:03] ---
I want to protect you...
and so my soul runs out to you now
[14:06] ---
That's a Duo.
[14:08] ---
Never... I'll never admit defeat!
[14:12] ---
Just hand it over to me
(all of it)--even your pain
[14:17] ---
We're together (together) that's why
(that's why) we can make it our strength
[14:18] ---
Julie!
[14:20] ---
Tor...
[14:21] ---
My soul and yours...
[14:22] ---
I'll be your shield, and yours alone
[14:26] ---
Yeah!
[14:28] ---
My back to yours,
I believe in miracles (in meetings)
[14:33] ---
No one can intrude on that (can't stop it)
[14:38] ---
Looking down on our limits
from far above: Absolute Soul
[14:48] ---
B-Brother...
[15:21] ---
I'm so sorry!
[15:24] ---
I brought this on you all. I'm so, so sorry!
[15:32] ---
Hey, we can get stronger, right?
[15:40] ---
Of course. Because I've got Miyabi.
[15:43] ---
Oh... yeah! And I have Tomoe!
[15:49] ---
Miyabi, Tachibana, Tora, Tatsu.
Let's keep up our friendship!
[15:56] ---
You damn pests! Quit following me!
[16:00] ---
Wait up! Dark Professor Bunbun!
[16:04] ---
Dammit! Leave me alone already!
[16:06] ---
What's up with them?
[16:08] ---
She was the one defending the dorms.
[16:12] ---
Huh! Okay...
[16:18] ---
"No Visitors Allowed"
[16:28] ---
Here you go, Tor. To celebrate
you getting out of the hospital.
[16:32] ---
What is it?
[16:34] ---
Materials on Kevin Wayfair...
the young man known as "K."
[16:40] ---
He had an older brother
with whom he was quite close.
[16:44] ---
But K lost him suddenly.
[16:49] ---
His family fell apart,
and he wound up in the shadows...
[16:53] ---
...sold off into that old man's organization.
[16:58] ---
"Kevin Wayfair" "DOB 8-3-1996"
"Nationality: USA" "Birthplace: Los Angeles, CA"
[16:58] ---
He lost his family, had his name stolen,
[17:01] ---
and was raised as a soldier
seeking only power--and results.
[17:05] ---
That's the long and short of K.
[17:09] ---
Why would you give me this?
[17:12] ---
I thought you'd be curious.
[17:15] ---
Thank you, Lilith.
[17:17] ---
It's the least I can do for my future spouse.
[17:21] ---
Oh, and the other thing
you must be worried about:
[17:24] ---
I hear she left the hospital today.
[17:27] ---
Really?!
[17:29] ---
I can't say I like that reaction of yours.
[17:37] ---
All right. I know you
haven't seen her all this time.
[17:40] ---
I suppose I'll allow
it for today. Go on then, Tor.
[17:46] ---
Thanks, Lilith!
[17:53] ---
You're being kind to Tor,
letting him see K's file like that.
[17:59] ---
I'd like his soul to develop even further.
[18:03] ---
Perhaps his erstwhile
enemy's feelings will help fuel that.
[18:07] ---
You certainly haven't changed.
[18:10] ---
No. All for the path
I take to reach Absolute Duo.
[18:54] ---
Can you see Gimle?
[18:56] ---
Nej. Unfortunately.
[19:00] ---
Tor...
[19:04] ---
I'm not an Exceed.
[19:08] ---
The day Papa was killed...
I prayed for strength, begged for it.
[19:14] ---
And then...
[19:16] ---
I found myself fangs. For revenge.
[19:23] ---
I have awakened the power within me.
An El Awake: that's what I am.
[19:31] ---
An El Awake...?
[19:33] ---
People have power hidden away
in the depths of their souls.
[19:38] ---
Those whose power awakens
to make weapons of their souls...
[19:42] ---
...those are El Awakes.
[19:44] ---
But that's just like an Exceed!
[19:49] ---
I've heard that Exceeds are El Awakes
[19:51] ---
who've had their
soul-power artificially awakened.
[19:56] ---
I couldn't control my power.
And the Dorn Agency rescued me.
[20:04] ---
Is that what happened?
[20:08] ---
I lied. I was afraid.
[20:13] ---
Afraid you'd find out I wasn't an Exceed...
[20:16] ---
...that I'm not the same as you.
[20:20] ---
Afraid that once you
knew everything, you'd drift away.
[20:24] ---
More than anything, afraid that
my power would hurt you... or kill you.
[20:32] ---
Julie...
[20:33] ---
But... but...
[20:38] ---
I still want to be with you.
I want to be your Duo!
[20:48] ---
I need to apologize to you, too, Julie.
[20:51] ---
The first time I saw your true power, I thought,
[20:56] ---
"I can never let her use that again."
[20:59] ---
That a power capable of hurting
you was absolutely out of the question.
[21:03] ---
But I went and let you use it again.
I hurt you... again.
[21:09] ---
No!
[21:10] ---
It's all right. I'll get stronger.
Strong enough to really protect you.
[21:18] ---
So, Julie...
[21:20] ---
I want you to keep being my Duo.
[21:33] ---
Blaze!
[21:35] ---
So bound, we two shall remain together always
[21:39] ---
to the best of our ability.
[21:41] ---
In joy, in sorrow, in health--
[21:47] ---
until death do us part.
[22:00] ---
The wind stops, having touched your back
[22:07] ---
As you walked all alone
[22:15] ---
The sound of bells echoes beside you
[22:23] ---
Loneliness melts away in time
[22:31] ---
Wishes to the skies, oaths to eternity: my soul
[22:39] ---
Though caught in the driving rain, we are two:
Just believe, believe, believe
[22:48] ---
Even the faintest voice will reach you--
that alone is enough
[22:56] ---
For even trembling hands
to hold a shining hope
[23:04] ---
Courage spread wide,
we breathe together and grab the sky
[23:11] ---
In my world, you're here
