[00:14] ---
    Where am I...?
[00:15] ---
    BABEL's intensive care unit.
[00:18] ---
    Class Rep...!
[00:19] ---
    You're awake.
[00:21] ---
    How did I...?
[00:27] ---
    Class Rep!
[00:30] ---
    I'm sorry for dragging you into this...
[00:34] ---
    Where's Miu?
[00:37] ---
    We have to go save her!
[00:39] ---
    No. You still need bed rest.
[00:43] ---
    I'm sure she's all right. Her brother
    showed up immediately afterward.
[00:48] ---
    Akatsuki did?
[00:50] ---
    Yes. So leave the rest to him
    and focus on resting up now.
[00:57] ---
    Hang on just a minute
    while I go and get the doctor.
[01:07] ---
    Thank you for protecting me, Izumi.
[01:22] ---
    I don't know what's goin' on...
[01:23] ---
    Just what is this "state of emergency"?!
[01:30] ---
    No luck. We can't contact Kyoya directly.
[01:35] ---
    We've no choice.
[01:37] ---
    I thought at the very least we
    could fill him in on the situation, but...
[01:41] ---
    Minami. How is the situation
    in the control room?
[01:45] ---
    How is the system repair work progressing?
[01:48] ---
    Current progress is at 60%.
[01:51] ---
    That's much faster than we expected,
[01:54] ---
    but we cannot afford
    to just sit here and wait.
[02:04] ---
    What's happening?!
[02:05] ---
    There...
[02:07] ---
    Wh-What is that?!
[02:15] ---
    Zahhak!
[02:17] ---
    That bastard actually
    managed to make a pact
[02:20] ---
    with Alayzard's Dragon of Woe?!
[02:32] ---
    I... will change the world
[02:33] ---
    "Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
    I... will change the world
[02:37] ---
    "Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero"
    Your tear change real my soul
[02:45] ---
    From out of the flowing
    air, it rocks the world

[02:51] ---
    The time limit is drawing near
[02:54] ---
    What to do?
[02:56] ---
    Shout! Deep, jet-black eyes
[03:01] ---
    Ah, bearing a lasting grudge
[03:06] ---
    A soaring hero of darkness
[03:11] ---
    Enkindled
[03:13] ---
    Change the world
[03:15] ---
    Strong my heart
[03:16] ---
    Whatever controls me, I'll pierce through it
[03:18] ---
    Praise will be my reward
[03:21] ---
    and set off my burning aesthetics
[03:24] ---
    Without showing my tears
[03:30] ---
    I still swear to protect you
[03:34] ---
    Now let loose and realize
[03:49] ---
    Now we are
[03:59] ---
    "Before Daybreak"
[04:07] ---
    Zahhak is a higher life form!
[04:09] ---
    There's no way a human
    could make a pact with it...
[04:12] ---
    Dunno how he managed to pull it off...
[04:16] ---
    ...but I have no choice but to fight.
[04:19] ---
    Wait! That's too reckless!
[04:21] ---
    Your poison damage
    hasn't fully gone away yet!
[04:24] ---
    Maybe not, but there's
    no time for that now.
[04:29] ---
    I'll handle this somehow.
[04:30] ---
    Please, listen!
[04:33] ---
    You're probably the only
    one who can defeat him!
[04:35] ---
    But you can't in your current state!
[04:37] ---
    So... I'll act as a decoy!
[04:41] ---
    I'll buy some time until you've
    recovered your strength!
[04:46] ---
    Don't be crazy! That's being reckless--
[04:50] ---
    The poison's still...!
[04:55] ---
    Come help me as soon as you can, okay?
[04:58] ---
    I'll be waiting!
[05:15] ---
    I'm the one you're after, right?!
[05:20] ---
    So come get me!
[05:23] ---
    We've received word from base camp!
[05:26] ---
    An enormous dragon has
    appeared in the mountains!
[05:29] ---
    It's currently in flight,
    heading toward the urban training district!
[05:32] ---
    A dragon?!
[05:34] ---
    What's going on?!
[05:35] ---
    Don't stop!
[05:37] ---
    Do everything you can now!
[05:40] ---
    Akatsuki Ousawa is the one
    fighting the intruder, as I recall.
[05:59] ---
    I'm sorry for dragging you into this...
[06:02] ---
    I won't let you handle this all alone!
[06:09] ---
    Ousawa?
[06:12] ---
    I see...
[06:14] ---
    So your sister is still fighting?
[06:16] ---
    Yeah.
[06:18] ---
    You said you were poisoned.
    Will it go away by itself?
[06:22] ---
    No.
[06:23] ---
    But I've activated my internal energy
[06:27] ---
    to up my metabolism
    and healing capabilities.
[06:29] ---
    I'm mostly back to normal now.
[06:32] ---
    Just a little more time and
    I'll be completely poison-free.
[06:36] ---
    That's a relief.
[06:38] ---
    Ousawa...
[06:40] ---
    Oh, man. Now you're gonna go, too?
[06:44] ---
    I know how you feel,
[06:46] ---
    but do you really think I'll just say,
    "Sure, go right ahead"?
[06:49] ---
    If we need to buy time,
    then two decoys are better than one.
[06:54] ---
    Actually, I'd say three's
    even better than two.
[06:59] ---
    When you left my hospital room,
[07:02] ---
    you looked just like Miu did when she said,
    "Sorry I dragged you into this."
[07:06] ---
    So I followed you.
[07:08] ---
    Izumi...
[07:10] ---
    You two aren't the only
    ones who wanna help Miu.
[07:15] ---
    Not you too, Izumi...
[07:17] ---
    Sorry, Akatsuki, but we've
    already made up our minds.
[07:22] ---
    We're going to Miu's side, no matter what.
[07:25] ---
    Dammit...
[07:27] ---
    Urgh, okay, fine!
[07:29] ---
    I guess the one upshot
    is she won't try anything
[07:31] ---
    reckless with you guys there.
[07:33] ---
    But you have to promise not to
    push yourselves too hard either.
[07:36] ---
    Yes, we promise.
[07:39] ---
    --Hop on, Izumi!
    - -Right.
[07:41] ---
    Hey, now. Can't I get a lift too?
[07:45] ---
    This plan also depends on how long
    it'll take for your poison to disappear.
[07:49] ---
    This? It'll be gone soon--
[07:51] ---
    Give me an exact timeframe.
[07:53] ---
    We'll hang in there long
    enough for you to arrive!
[07:59] ---
    Fine.
[08:24] ---
    Hit him!
[08:28] ---
    I knew it! That's the impenetrable
    barrier of a higher life form!
[08:38] ---
    In that case...
[08:39] ---
    ...let's try this!
[08:45] ---
    With just one touch,
    my magic's been...!
[08:56] ---
    Vice President?!
[08:57] ---
    I take it you're all right?!
[09:00] ---
    Y-Yes...
[09:07] ---
    What's become of your brother?!
[09:10] ---
    I find it hard to believe he'd stoop
    to having you fight alone like this!
[09:17] ---
    He was poisoned a little while ago
    and is still a little bit immobilized.
[09:23] ---
    So I'm buying time until he recovers.
[09:27] ---
    I see.
[09:29] ---
    But you don't mind if *we
    *beat him to the punch, do you?
[09:34] ---
    Sheesh.
[09:36] ---
    To think we'd end up having
    to slay a dragon, of all things...
[09:40] ---
    Caution is key.
[09:42] ---
    We're dealing with a higher
    life form, so magic won't work.
[09:46] ---
    But that only applies
    to direct magic attacks.
[09:51] ---
    There are other ways!
[10:04] ---
    Let's do it!
[10:21] ---
    There's no need to glare; I'll slice
    you into pieces quickly enough!
[10:37] ---
    Up here, big boy!
[10:42] ---
    Whoa! Crap...!
[10:49] ---
    Now!
[11:02] ---
    Class Rep?!
[11:04] ---
    Chikage...
[11:06] ---
    Hi, Miu. You okay?
[11:16] ---
    Chikage! Magic doesn't work against it!
[11:19] ---
    Don't worry.
[11:22] ---
    That spell draws out atmospheric hydrogen,
    compresses it, and ignites it.
[11:29] ---
    The resulting explosions aren't magical--
    they're a natural phenomenon!
[11:37] ---
    Thirty more minutes.
[11:38] ---
    Huh?
[11:39] ---
    Your brother will have completely
    recovered in thirty minutes.
[11:43] ---
    We have to stay strong until then.
[11:45] ---
    Wait, don't tell me you guys...?!
[11:47] ---
    We ran into him.
[11:49] ---
    He said, "I will show up,
    so don't do anything reckless!"
[11:52] ---
    Oh!
[11:54] ---
    Let's do it, Class Rep! Chikage!
[12:09] ---
    Huh?!
[12:12] ---
    Oh, no, you don't!
[12:24] ---
    We can go all-out.
[12:27] ---
    We don't have to hold anything back.
[12:51] ---
    Time to burn!
[12:57] ---
    Dad's technique...
[12:59] ---
    I don't know if I'm
    ready to do it yet, but...
[13:08] ---
    Not enough...! More!
[13:16] ---
    More!
[13:19] ---
    Come on!
[13:24] ---
    Now!
[13:34] ---
    Run! It's a trap!
[13:36] ---
    That's correct.
[13:50] ---
    What just happened...?
[13:57] ---
    Everyone...!
[13:59] ---
    How does it feel to go from
    the utter elation of certain victory
[14:03] ---
    to suddenly realizing it was all an illusion?
[14:07] ---
    Now, then. You've had your fun.
[14:10] ---
    It's time for us to go to Alayzard.
[14:13] ---
    I'm not done yet!
    I'll never give in so easily!
[14:17] ---
    Your resolve is impressive.
[14:19] ---
    Even after dragging
    your friends, innocent people,
[14:22] ---
    and this world into this,
    you still haven't had enough?
[14:27] ---
    In that case, perhaps we
    should have a few people die
[14:30] ---
    to help you understand
    the severity of your sins?
[14:34] ---
    What will it be?
[14:39] ---
    That is the correct decision.
[14:41] ---
    Your ultimate sacrifice will likely
    save this world and Alayzard.
[14:50] ---
    Do you still insist on struggling futilely?
[14:54] ---
    Struggling futilely...
[14:56] ---
    Yes, maybe so.
[15:00] ---
    After all, I've made up my
    mind to stop running away.
[15:03] ---
    From my past... and from my pain.
[15:07] ---
    Because he told me to have faith!
[15:09] ---
    What pathetic pride.
[15:11] ---
    What nonsense has that
    fraud of a hero filled you with?
[15:15] ---
    He's not a fraud.
[15:18] ---
    Even if he doesn't consider himself a hero,
[15:21] ---
    he--the Rogue Hero--is a genuine hero!
[15:27] ---
    But even if you take me back
    to Alayzard now and kill me,
[15:32] ---
    you'll never be a hero!
[15:35] ---
    You'll only ever be a sham--
    never a true hero!
[15:40] ---
    No matter how much
    praise the people give you,
[15:43] ---
    the most you'll ever be is a "warrior"!
[15:45] ---
    And only a dark lord can
    acknowledge someone as a hero.
[15:50] ---
    Only when someone risks his life
    to do battle with a dark lord
[15:54] ---
    will that dark lord respectfully
    acknowledge him as a hero!
[15:58] ---
    And I'll never acknowledge you as a hero!
[16:01] ---
    Not even if it means I have to die!
[16:04] ---
    After all, there's only one person
    I've acknowledged as a hero!
[16:08] ---
    If you've acknowledged him as a hero,
[16:11] ---
    then why do you not attempt to slay him?
[16:14] ---
    He was your dear father's killer, after all.
[16:18] ---
    It's true that I'm a dark lord's daughter.
[16:21] ---
    But I'm not a dark lord!
[16:23] ---
    My dad was Alayzard's very last dark lord!
[16:27] ---
    I've given up my position
    as a dark lord's daughter!
[16:30] ---
    I made up my mind to live
    with him from now on
[16:34] ---
    as Miu Ousawa, an ordinary girl!
[16:38] ---
    Do you honestly think you can
    abandon your past so easily?
[16:42] ---
    No! But I've made up my mind!
[16:46] ---
    But if you insist that
    you aren't a dark lord,
[16:49] ---
    then that also means he isn't a hero,
    however much you claim he is.
[16:55] ---
    That's true...
[16:57] ---
    But even so, I still consider him a hero!
[17:03] ---
    That's all that matters.
[17:05] ---
    Because I see him as my hero...!
[17:09] ---
    I see. Then there's nothing more to say.
[17:14] ---
    Wait, we're going to return
    to Alayzard from right here?!
[17:17] ---
    It's a simple task for me,
    having fused with a higher life form.
[17:23] ---
    Now, let's see how much your
    mouth keeps running once you visit
[17:27] ---
    the gallows back in Alayzard.
[17:29] ---
    And you can finally realize
    that you no longer belong
[17:32] ---
    in this world or in Alayzard.
[17:36] ---
    I don't belong anywhere!
    But I've come to terms with that!
[17:41] ---
    After all, he told me he is where I belong!
[17:46] ---
    I've had enough of your drivel!
[18:19] ---
    I believed in you!
[18:22] ---
    Yeah...
[18:28] ---
    Take the others and get back.
[18:30] ---
    I'll handle this now.
[18:32] ---
    Okay. Be careful.
[18:35] ---
    Just watch.
[18:36] ---
    The guy you and your dad
    believed in can be pretty manly.
[18:43] ---
    How disappointing.
[18:44] ---
    I'd hoped to kill you in
    front of her and Queen Listy
[18:48] ---
    after you followed me back to Alayzard...
[18:52] ---
    ...but you leave me no choice.
[18:55] ---
    You'll just have to die here.
[19:12] ---
    Here's a little hello to start things off!
[19:19] ---
    Zahhak's poison!
[19:21] ---
    I have ways of dealing with that, though!
[19:40] ---
    There's no end to this!
[20:11] ---
    Bring it on!
[20:36] ---
    Such futile struggling...
[20:39] ---
    It's still not--?!
[20:41] ---
    Let's end this now, shall we?
[20:46] ---
    What is this...?!
[20:48] ---
    Looks like it's finally
    startin' to take effect.
[20:55] ---
    Even if my attacks didn't work,
[20:58] ---
    my energy made it inside your body.
[21:01] ---
    Which means...!
[21:02] ---
    Don't get the mistaken impression
    that we're on equal terms now!
[21:07] ---
    I was expecting as much.
[21:12] ---
    Bring it on! I'll obliterate your attack!
[21:32] ---
    What?!
[21:36] ---
    Crap!
[21:59] ---
    I can't sleep 'cause of love
[22:04] ---
    I can't sleep 'cause it's too hard to ignore
[22:10] ---
    How do these things even start, I wonder?
[22:16] ---
    Why does my voice go hoarse?
[22:21] ---
    Those unending, worry-filled dreams
[22:27] ---
    And my fingers feel hot after biting at them
[22:32] ---
    I'm confused, I'm afraid,
    I can't handle this...

[22:37] ---
    I love you!
[22:41] ---
    My story, a certain story
[22:44] ---
    I'm not so little that a fairy tale
    can put me to sleep

[22:52] ---
    My story, a certain story
[22:55] ---
    The days I think only about you
    are probably going to be tough

[23:13] ---
    Akatsuki quietly accepted the
    dishonorable title of "Rogue Hero."
[23:19] ---
    He's always flamboyant,
    pushy, and perverted,
[23:23] ---
    but because I was closer to him than anyone,
[23:26] ---
    I know about his one aesthetic
    he'll never give up, no matter what.
[23:30] ---
    And his feelings that never sway,
    no matter what the situation.
[23:34] ---
    So...
[23:36] ---
    Next episode: "The World Is Watching You."
[23:39] ---
    I haven't forgotten the promise you made
[23:40] ---
    when we parted, just so you know.
[23:41] ---
    "The World Is Watching You"
[23:44] ---
