**[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*

"#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!
