[00:05] ---
    You really pushed yourself hard.
[00:07] ---
    You did great. Now leave the rest to me.
[00:10] ---
    It's no use! Direct attacks and
    magic attacks don't work on it!
[00:17] ---
    Then I guess it's time to
    go for broke with this!
[00:37] ---
    All right!
[00:41] ---
    Bring it on!

    "The Hero's Back"
[02:21] ---
    Here it comes!
[02:29] ---
    Now, then. Guess it's time to finish this...
[02:33] ---
    I'll help!
[02:35] ---
    No time for that, sad to say.
[02:37] ---
    See?
[02:41] ---
    Stay back!
[02:46] ---
    One!
[02:49] ---
    Sorry, gotta borrow this!
[02:52] ---
    Two!
[02:53] ---
    Give it here! You can always get another!
[02:56] ---
    Three!
[02:57] ---
    This is a pain! Just hand 'em all over to me!
[03:00] ---
    Four! Five!
[03:02] ---
    Six!
[03:03] ---
    Seven!
[03:04] ---
    This should be enough! It better be enough!
[03:09] ---
    I'm gonna use this sword to
    blast my energy directly into it!
[03:22] ---
    It's over.
[03:29] ---
    This worked like a charm.
[03:38] ---
    --H-Huh?
    --What happened to the Cockatrice?
[03:41] ---
    Thank goodness! Oh, thank goodness!
[03:45] ---
    Did you save us, Ousawa?
[03:49] ---
    No--if it hadn't been for her tenacity,
[03:53] ---
    you'd both be a pile of pebbles by now.
[03:57] ---
    Great job.
[04:02] ---
    I see. I understand. Thank you.
[04:05] ---
    --Keep me apprised. I wish
    to question him later.
[04:05] ---
    --He reprogrammed it as
    revenge for embarrassment...
[04:11] ---
    A man's jealousy is a scary thing.
[04:13] ---
    I need to hurry and get rid of it...
[04:16] ---
    Didn't he realize we could
    just check the system logs
[04:20] ---
    and see who last used a master key?
[04:24] ---
    A truly shoddy plan, befitting of Class B.
[04:27] ---
    That said, Ousawa's one hell of a fighter.
[04:31] ---
    It was a lousy Cockatrice!
[04:33] ---
    Yikes...!
[04:34] ---
    Still, with skill like that,
    I could see him joining Class A...
[04:40] ---
    He is nowhere near our level.
[04:59] ---
    Yeah. When you borrow something,
    you gotta put it back where you got it.
[05:07] ---
    What do you mean by that, Ousawa?
[05:10] ---
    I'm guessing you planned to
    slip it into Onizuka's pocket
[05:13] ---
    during the confusion with the Cockatrice,
[05:17] ---
    but unfortunately for you,
    he's already been taken to the infirmary
[05:21] ---
    and the Cockatrice has gone bye-bye now.
[05:25] ---
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[05:28] ---
    You were behind this, Tanaka.
[05:33] ---
    I actually took a liking to you
[05:37] ---
    when I first saw you take Onizuka's
    abuse without saying a word.
[05:44] ---
    Bullying only gets worse
    if you stand up to it.
[05:48] ---
    It's better to just stay
    quiet and put up with it.
[05:52] ---
    Maybe that is true about bullying.
[05:54] ---
    But we both know you're
    far stronger than Onizuka.
[05:59] ---
    I knew you were strong.
[06:03] ---
    That's why I said what I said to Onizuka.
[06:05] ---
    You know how some idiots
    think they're better than others?
[06:08] ---
    I just love to demolish the
    pride of bastards like them.
[06:12] ---
    Onizuka was ordered to clean the stadium as
[06:15] ---
    punishment for causing
    trouble in the classroom.
[06:18] ---
    So, using a master key, he broke
    into the programming room
[06:21] ---
    and tampered with the Cockatrice's data.
[06:25] ---
    Y-You shouldn't be modifying
    the program like this, Onizuka...!
[06:27] ---
    "Summoning Program"
[06:28] ---
    "Combat Training Monster Selection"
[06:28] ---
    Shut up! Go take this back to the key room!
[06:29] ---
    "Combat Training Monster Selection"
    "Cockatrice"
[06:29] ---
    "Stat Customization"
[06:31] ---
    Go on! Get moving!
[06:33] ---
    "Special Abilities
    Petrification Limiter OFF"
[06:35] ---
    You're suggesting I took Onizuka's
    program for getting back at you
[06:39] ---
    and modified it to go
    even more out of control?
[06:53] ---
    Looks like you're not all brawn after all.
    You have some brains, too.
[07:12] ---
    It's no use! My attacks are
    flawless and unbeatable!
[07:19] ---
    I risk being caught if I keep this up.
[07:26] ---
    How surprisingly pathetic.
[07:35] ---
    Y-Your blackout was just an act,
    including the A.D. weapon deactivation?!
[07:41] ---
    I figured if your attacks are unbeatable,
[07:43] ---
    it'd be quicker to throw
    you off guard instead.
[07:46] ---
    How is this possible?!
[07:48] ---
    How can you still stand after
    all the damage you took?!
[07:52] ---
    My Linked Energy Manipulation
    is a handy skill to have.
[07:56] ---
    It's useful not just for
    offense, but defense too.
[07:59] ---
    So my techniques can't
    beat your defenses, huh?
[08:03] ---
    In that case...!
[08:06] ---
    You...!
[08:07] ---
    That's right. This attack spell
    isn't directed at you.
[08:11] ---
    It's directed at this very BABEL building.
[08:15] ---
    You might be able to withstand it,
    but will everyone else?
[08:22] ---
    The barrier's in place.
[08:23] ---
    They'll just pass out,
    however much damage you cause.
[08:26] ---
    BABEL's barrier only protects against
    magic and weapon-based damage
[08:31] ---
    that people inflict on each other.
[08:34] ---
    It doesn't protect against rubble
    and debris from a demolished building.
[08:38] ---
    What is it you're after, Tanaka?!
[08:41] ---
    The students trained at this
    academy will be deployed
[08:45] ---
    to battlefields around the world
    when the need arises.
[08:48] ---
    BABEL is nothing more
    than a merchant of death.
[08:50] ---
    It is my duty to destroy it.
[08:53] ---
    And you don't care how
    many students will die?
[08:57] ---
    Revolutions always come with sacrifices.
[09:01] ---
    Your sword and my magic...
[09:04] ---
    Let's see which is fastest.
[09:08] ---
    That's enough.
[09:35] ---
    Why are you here?
[09:37] ---
    Likely for the same reason
    as you, Akatsuki Ousawa.
[09:41] ---
    I didn't want to interfere,
    but unfortunately I had to.
[09:47] ---
    I couldn't allow any
    collateral damage, you see.
[09:50] ---
    I hope you aren't offended.
[09:54] ---
    Oh?
[09:56] ---
    Trust me, I'd love to fight.
[10:00] ---
    But I'm more worried
    about my sister and her pals.
[10:04] ---
    We can save it for some other time.
[10:10] ---
    Take the seriously wounded
    students to the ICU! Hurry!
[10:14] ---
    Class Rep! I brought the first-aid kits!
[10:18] ---
    Anyone who's able-bodied, help Ousawa!
[10:22] ---
    We're almost out of
    disinfectant and bandages!
[10:24] ---
    --Ouch!
    --You're a guy. Act like it!
[10:27] ---
    --Hey! We need those bandages now!
    --Are you okay? Does it hurt?
[10:31] ---
    Can someone go get more?!
[10:33] ---
    I will!
[10:36] ---
    Here's everything from the nurse's office.
[10:39] ---
    Where have you been?!
[10:41] ---
    Had some stuff to take care of.
[10:42] ---
    Your own left hand was petrified, you know!
[10:46] ---
    If you have time to worry about others--
[10:56] ---
    If permitted, I ask you to live
    with the one who defeats me...
[11:04] ---
    But if you ever feel that my vanquisher
    is unworthy to live with you...
[11:13] ---
    ...then you may kill him.
[11:37] ---
    Feeling any better?
[11:38] ---
    Yeah! I feel fine!
[11:44] ---
    --Oww!
    - -You little liar.
[11:47] ---
    If you have time to worry about others,
    you should worry about yourself.
[11:55] ---
    Is this... healing magic?
[11:59] ---
    No, I can't use magic.
[12:03] ---
    It's called "Vivification."
[12:05] ---
    It activates and stabilizes
    your body's internal energy,
[12:08] ---
    increasing your ability to heal.
[12:11] ---
    It feels nice and warm...
[12:14] ---
    But you aren't messing with my
    energy in a weird way again, I hope!
[12:20] ---
    Geez, can't you just
    accept people's kindness?
[12:24] ---
    If you're gonna be like that, then I'll
    push just the right button for you.
[12:29] ---
    Poke!
[12:32] ---
    Wh-Whoa! What did you do?!
[12:34] ---
    What vulgar button did you press this time?!
[12:37] ---
    Nothing much. Just one to
    make you honest with yourself.
[12:40] ---
    Liar!
[12:42] ---
    One of these days, you're going to--
[12:46] ---
    Huh?
[12:51] ---
    --It's okay to cry.
    - -Huh?
[12:54] ---
    You haven't had a real cry
    since Garius died, have you?
[13:00] ---
    Stop it... This is too sudden and cruel.
[13:05] ---
    What do you... What do you want from me?
[13:10] ---
    Man, you're an awkward one.
[13:14] ---
    Still, you don't need to
    force acceptance on yourself.
[13:18] ---
    You have me to talk to.
[13:20] ---
    Hit me with all the feelings you have
    bottled up--sadness, hate, everything.
[13:27] ---
    It doesn't matter what the
    reason was. I killed your dad.
[13:32] ---
    I'm his murderer.
[13:37] ---
    It must've been so sudden.
    It must've made no sense.
[13:41] ---
    But you don't have to hold it in.
[13:43] ---
    When you're hurting, you should
    just be honest and say so.
[13:46] ---
    And...
[13:50] ---
    It's okay to say so directly to
    the face of the one you hate.
[13:54] ---
    If you ever want to cry
    but can't cry on your own,
[13:59] ---
    I'll make it so you can.
[14:03] ---
    Because I'm the only one who can do that now.
[14:07] ---
    So it's okay for you to cry now.
[14:10] ---
    That's why I made it so you'll
    be honest with yourself.
[14:20] ---
    That's it. Just let it all out.
[14:45] ---
    I feel like they've gotten even bigger.
    Maybe it's just my imagination...
[14:50] ---
    Or not.
[14:52] ---
    Maybe I'll have him take me
    shopping on our next day off.
[15:03] ---
    Oh, right.
[15:05] ---
    Maybe I should have Chikage and
    the class rep take me instead...
[15:08] ---
    Oh? You going somewhere?
[15:10] ---
    Yeah. I'd like to pick up
    some clothes and underwear...
[15:16] ---
    Huh?
[15:21] ---
    Oh, this?
[15:23] ---
    This is a Linked Energy
    Manipulation exercise.
[15:27] ---
    You send energy to the bottom of your
    feet and stand perpendicular to the wall.
[15:47] ---
    In other news,
[15:49] ---
    in response to the recent attempted
    terrorist attack on JPN BABEL...
[15:51] ---
    I know he isn't trying to be mean, but...
[15:56] ---
    Is this really how siblings get along?
[15:59] ---
    ...COCOON members have
    begun arriving in Japan.
[16:03] ---
    Secret talks between certain countries...
[16:06] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[16:12] ---
    "Yesterday"
    "International COCOON Members Arrive"
[16:22] ---
    Oh? I spy a breach of school rules!
[16:25] ---
    This is one of my privileges
    as class representative.
[16:28] ---
    Huh?!
[16:29] ---
    Miu! Will you get a load of this?!
[16:32] ---
    Hey... Miu?
[16:33] ---
    Sorry!
[16:35] ---
    Is something wrong?
[16:37] ---
    Umm... Do you mind if I ask what "COCOON" is?
[16:43] ---
    What brought that on?
[16:45] ---
    Oh, it was on the news this morning
    and it's been on my mind ever since...
[16:50] ---
    Ah.
[16:51] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot that the shock of
    being summoned into another world
[16:56] ---
    made you forget almost
    everything about this world.
[17:00] ---
    Simply put, COCOON members
    help run the world now.
[17:06] ---
    "Children of Cross Over Other Nation."
[17:10] ---
    Or "COCOON" for short.
[17:12] ---
    Each member is more powerful
    than their entire nation's military.
[17:20] ---
    As the top leaders of BABEL,
    they strive for the ideal of world peace
[17:26] ---
    and supervise and educate children
    who've returned from other worlds.
[17:30] ---
    Partly to prevent their special
    abilities from being misused,
[17:34] ---
    and partly so that BABEL can intervene
[17:39] ---
    and send these children to the
    battlefield should any wars
[17:43] ---
    or regional conflicts break out.
[17:46] ---
    Why the need for a gathering just
    because some "hero" has appeared?
[17:53] ---
    And why an unofficial one? We'll see
    each other at the summit anyway...
[17:59] ---
    So the Norn Check said
    this guy is a "True Hero"?
[18:03] ---
    You have to be kidding me.
[18:05] ---
    That almost makes us sound
    like false heroes or something.
[18:10] ---
    Do you really think so?
[18:12] ---
    Does that... Does that mean I'm a fake...?
[18:16] ---
    Come, now. All that matters is that
    we follow what we believe is just.
[18:24] ---
    So, what is your actual assessment?
[18:26] ---
    I caught a small glimpse of his true power,
[18:29] ---
    but unfortunately I have yet
    to see it in its entirety.
[18:33] ---
    For now, I intend to keep
    an eye on him in our Class B
[18:39] ---
    and, from there, decide if he's
    powerful enough to join us or not.
[18:48] ---
    I see...
[18:50] ---
    I'm concerned about your brother.
[18:53] ---
    He seemed a little on edge today.
[18:57] ---
    Does it have something to do with COCOON?
[19:00] ---
    Probably.
[19:01] ---
    His mood suddenly changed when
    he heard that name on the news...
[19:06] ---
    I guess he has some feelings toward COCOON...
[19:10] ---
    Akatsuki seems so frank,
    big-mouthed, and self-indulgent,
[19:17] ---
    but I guess he also has
    a side he keeps to himself.
[19:21] ---
    I think I can see why you're
    so focused on him, Miu!
[19:26] ---
    Huh? What do you mean?
[19:28] ---
    You have no memory of Akatsuki either, right?
[19:32] ---
    Yet you live under the same roof,
    having been "told" you're siblings.
[19:36] ---
    Not thinking about it would be impossible.
[19:38] ---
    H-Hold on! I don't think anything like that!
[19:44] ---
    Th-There's nothing going on at all!
[19:47] ---
    Plus, I'm pretty sure he
    already likes someone!
[19:50] ---
    So he has no feelings for me whatsoever!
[19:54] ---
    Anyway, would you like to go
    shopping with me on our next day off?
[20:00] ---
    Sure, okay.
[20:02] ---
    What are you shopping for?
[20:04] ---
    Umm, underwear.
[20:06] ---
    Ooh, that's great! I'll pick out
    something super-sexy for you!
[20:10] ---
    Something normal is fine.
[20:12] ---
    Are you that dense?
    Ousawa is a having "size issue."
[20:16] ---
    Yikes! For a sports-bra flatty,
    you sure talk like a know-it-all!
[20:22] ---
    J-Just stop! Everyone's watching...!
[20:28] ---
    I'm not really sure why,
    but my heart hurts just a little...
[20:39] ---
    It's him, all right...
[20:43] ---
    He's there...
[20:49] ---
    Oh? Aww, someone beat me here?
[20:52] ---
    This is my favorite spot, too.
    Someone else already came and took it...
[20:59] ---
    I feel like I've seen you before...
[21:02] ---
    Not just in passing, but from
    somewhere else... Y'know?
[21:08] ---
    How the hell should I know?
    You sure you aren't just imagining things?
[21:14] ---
    Oh! Now I remember!
[21:16] ---
    You're Akatsuki Ousawa, aren't you?!
[21:19] ---
    Yeah. So what?
[21:20] ---
    Ah! I see! So you're the big-shot
    hero everyone's talking about?
[21:24] ---
    I read all about your great
    exploits in the paper!
[21:28] ---
    Let's shake hands!
[21:34] ---
    I guess you could call this a handshake.
[21:59] ---

[23:15] ---
    Akatsuki is strangely popular with girls.
[23:19] ---
    Once, when he helped protect a brothel guild,
[23:21] ---
    he got on really friendly terms
    with the girls working there.
[23:25] ---
    As I recall, that idiot not only helped
    the girls pick out undergarments,
[23:28] ---
    but even helped them put them on!
[23:31] ---
    Just remembering it makes me angry!
[23:33] ---
    I hope someone teaches Akatsuki a lesson!
[23:37] ---
    Next episode: "Just a Short Repose."
[23:40] ---
    Just so we're clear, he
    never did that with me!
[23:41] ---
    "Just a Short Repose"
[23:43] ---
