[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
