[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?
