Chaos Dragon
Based on a table-top roleplaying session involving Gen Urobuchi (Psycho-Pass), Ryohgo Narita (Baccano!, Durarara!!), Kinoko Nasu (Kara no Kyōkai) and more, Chaos Dragon tells the story of two countries locked in a brutal war. When the constant fighting causes a guardian god known as Red Dragon to spiral out of control, a small group of heroes must rise up to bring peace back to their world.

[00:13] ---
I've...
[00:15] ---
...decided...
[00:19] ---
...which friend to kill...
[00:22] ---
...and in turn...
[00:26] ---
...what is to be protected.

Imperial Era 3015
[00:51] ---
Nil Kamui - Shuka outskirts | Orphanage
[00:55] ---
Mashiro, is the food ready?
[00:58] ---
I'm starving!
[01:00] ---
Hold on, just a second!
[01:00] ---
Starving!
[01:02] ---
Can you line the plates?
[01:17] ---
Hm?
[01:21] ---
Kai, stop with the violence.
[01:23] ---
But Ibuki, this brat...
[01:28] ---
...was saying that our country was defeated!
[01:35] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[01:38] ---
It's a small island country.
[01:41] ---
One day, the covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[01:47] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[01:51] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[01:55] ---
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
[01:59] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[02:03] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
[02:08] ---
Furthermore, the island's guardian deity,
Red Dragon, suddenly went mad
[02:13] ---
and began indiscriminately
burning villages and killing people.
[02:18] ---
If we accept our defeat...
[02:20] ---
...there's no way we can face...
[02:23] ---
...our fathers and everyone else!
[02:25] ---
Even so, violence is wrong.
[02:30] ---
Come now, Kai.
[02:32] ---
If you say so, Ibuki.
[02:35] ---
I was wrong.
[02:37] ---
Sorry.
[02:40] ---
Now then, it's time to eat!
[02:42] ---
Yay!
[02:46] ---
Isn't the first huge market in a
long time being held tomorrow?
[02:51] ---
How about we go shopping together?
[02:53] ---
Thank you.
[02:55] ---
But Kai, you alone would be...
[02:57] ---
Ah, Kai alone isn't enough
to carry the load, right?
[03:00] ---
C'mon, I can handle myself.
[03:04] ---
Thank you, Ibuki.
[03:10] ---
Same day, same time
Nil Kamui | Shuka naval port
[03:18] ---
Hurry it up, you lazy bums!
[03:22] ---
We need to leave Shuka tomorrow.
[03:27] ---
Damn, Kouran...
[03:35] ---
The people of this country
are quite the laggards.
[03:39] ---
They boldly complain, despite not being
able to make decisions on their own.
[03:48] ---
Please, spare me!
[03:49] ---
Do not worry...
[03:51] ---
Your life will serve for the better
of this item of greater importance--
[03:54] ---
Kohretsu.
[03:57] ---
There are no problems in transporting
our "means" against Red Dragon, yes?
[04:02] ---
Yes, Lady Kohkaku!
[04:04] ---
No delays whatsoever!
[04:05] ---
Hurry them up.
[04:07] ---
Kouran is apparently planning to deploy
an expedition for the Red Dragon.
[04:13] ---
Which means we must stop
Red Dragon before them,
[04:15] ---
lest we be branded as incompetent.
[04:18] ---
We are the rulers of this island,
and not those back in our country.
[04:25] ---
Nil Kamui | Shuka
Temple in Kouran's territory
[04:29] ---
I'm surprised to see you here.
[04:32] ---
So, about this "Red Dragon expedition"...
[04:35] ---
I see you came up with
something interesting again.
[04:39] ---
Why, of course.
[04:41] ---
Red Dragon is quite a nuisance to Kouran, see?
[04:47] ---
And I figured you would be
a perfect fit for this, Lou.
[04:53] ---
Scary, scary...
[05:00] ---
The next day | Nil Kamui | Shuka outskirts
[05:05] ---
Cave near the orphanage
[05:26] ---
Please listen to our earnest prayers...
[05:30] ---
Purify and cleanse us of our sins...
[05:36] ---
May the divine blessing of
Red Dragon be upon you all!
[05:44] ---
Where might he be?
[05:46] ---
He's at the orphanage's training hall.
[05:49] ---
I see...
[06:16] ---
Fugaku?!
[06:21] ---
Why lower your sword?
[06:23] ---
It's because I'm not training to fight.
[06:28] ---
You haven't changed a bit.
[06:32] ---
So, you have no intention of
succeeding your father after all.
[06:38] ---
Nil Kamui doesn't need a king anymore...
[06:43] ---
If a king...
[06:45] ---
If someone from the Imperial lineage
[06:47] ---
rose to power, that power would
bring conflict along with it.
[06:50] ---
I understand your take on the matter, but...
[06:52] ---
Ibuki!
[06:54] ---
Sorry for the wait!
[06:55] ---
Huh? Is it time already?
[06:58] ---
Are you going to the market?
[07:00] ---
If so...
[07:04] ---
...at least for today...
[07:06] ---
...take this with you.
[07:08] ---
Your father would be pleased.
[07:10] ---
But why wear the Ryugatou now?
[07:14] ---
Even if you won't rise as king, I'd like
to see you dressed for the affair today.
[07:20] ---
Understood.
[07:22] ---
Fugaku, will you be coming to the market, too?
[07:24] ---
Hm? Well, yes...
[07:27] ---
Then I'll be heading out ahead with Mashiro.
[07:30] ---
Let's meet there.
[07:31] ---
Excuse us.
[07:37] ---
Forgive me, Ibuki...
[07:41] ---
I will be plunging you into battle...
[07:57] ---
Whoa! This place is so lively!
[08:00] ---
It hasn't been like this in ages!
[08:02] ---
Yup, you look good with it after all.
[08:05] ---
Huh?
[08:07] ---
The Ryugatou.
[08:10] ---
You're really starting
to take after your father.
[08:15] ---
Those days are over already.
[08:21] ---
You're really kind, Ibuki.
[08:28] ---
I-I'm so sorry.
[08:30] ---
Apologies from me, too. Are you okay?
[08:34] ---
Yes.
[08:35] ---
We're really sorry.
[08:38] ---
No problem at all.
[08:39] ---
Well, if you'll excuse us...
[08:49] ---
So, this is Nil Kamui?
[08:52] ---
Everything I see here is new to me.
[08:54] ---
Awesome!
[08:55] ---
This island is filled with so many things
I haven't seen before.
[08:59] ---
Ah, the air is so fresh, isn't it, Meryl?
[09:01] ---
Sir Sweallow...
[09:03] ---
May I ask that you please read the situation
instead of just breathing the air here?
[09:09] ---
Please listen. The tension of war
still lingers in this country, and--
[09:15] ---
You're so kind, Meryl.
[09:17] ---
Uh, I wasn't trying to be kind.
[09:20] ---
Um, Sir Sweallow?
[09:24] ---
Are you seriously going to join the Red Dragon
expedition and bear their mission?
[09:30] ---
Of course!
[09:31] ---
That is my contract
with Black Dragon, after all.
[09:37] ---
Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be fun.
[09:48] ---
Just a bit more!
[09:49] ---
I'll buy in bulk, so will you
please drop the price a bit more?
[09:55] ---
I give up.
[09:56] ---
Hm?
[10:00] ---
Move aside!
[10:02] ---
Kouran's Leader of Five-Thousand
will pass through shortly!
[10:08] ---
Kouran's troops...
[10:19] ---
If our march weren't so hurried, we wouldn't
have had to pass through this slum.
[10:26] ---
This treasure, the Dragon Eye,
allows sharing of thoughts with the Dragons
[10:29] ---
and is our means against Red Dragon.
[10:35] ---
So bear this march, Kohretsu.
[10:37] ---
Understood, Lady Kohkaku.
[10:48] ---
What's the matter, Ibuki?
[10:51] ---
One fit to be the king of Nil Kamui...
[11:05] ---
Th-This is...?
[11:08] ---
Pledge yourself to me.
[11:12] ---
Achieve that which you desire.
[11:22] ---
Nil Kamui | A small island country located between
two great opposing countries, Kouran and D'natia.
[11:24] ---
The island is noted for its tropical weather,
vast wasteland, jungles, and ruggled volcanic areas.
[11:27] ---
Listen all!
[11:30] ---
Making grace here is Kouran Jinrai
prefecture's Shinbu Shogun!
[11:34] ---
Leader of Five-Thousand, Lady Kohkaku!
[11:37] ---
Lady Kohkaku has graciously
organized a force to hunt down
[11:42] ---
the giant lizard Red Dragon thriving
in this savage country, Nil Kamui!
[11:47] ---
As you all know,
the last war marked the start
[11:51] ---
of Red Dragon's brutal attacks
upon the people and towns.
[11:54] ---
But do not fear!
[11:56] ---
We will destroy it with the Dragon Eye
[12:00] ---
and bring peace back to this island!
[12:03] ---
The Dragon Eye?
[12:04] ---
Seriously?
[12:05] ---
That's supposed to be Nil Kamui's treasure...
[12:07] ---
And so...
[12:14] ---
You there, boy.
[12:17] ---
Are you referring to me?
[12:21] ---
Why do you still wear a sword on you?
[12:24] ---
The peace treaty enacted forbids
citizens of Nil Kamui to wield swords.
[12:30] ---
This island is now under
the protection of Kouran.
[12:33] ---
Swords are not needed anymore, yes?
[12:36] ---
The Ryugatou...
[12:38] ---
...is worn as a courtesy.
[12:40] ---
I am not questioning the purpose of the blade.
[12:43] ---
I am telling you to discard the sword.
[12:45] ---
Don't do it, Ibuki!
[12:46] ---
Don't ever get rid of the Ryugatou!
[12:49] ---
It's the very soul of Nil Kamui!
[12:53] ---
A sword is just...
[12:56] ---
...a mass of iron.
[12:57] ---
Mashiro!
[13:00] ---
What's the matter, boy? Can't get rid of it?
[13:04] ---
Is that mass of iron you have
of greater importance than your life?
[13:11] ---
Ibuki...
[13:12] ---
It's okay.
[13:14] ---
That's right.
[13:16] ---
Pride without strength is of no use.
[13:27] ---
I...
[13:30] ---
What's the matter?
[13:35] ---
We don't need a king anymore...
[13:42] ---
Can't discard it, can you?
[13:44] ---
I was going to assign you as my attendant,
but at this point, you leave me no choice.
[13:54] ---
What is it?
[13:57] ---
Divine punishment!
[14:00] ---
Set the flames of revolution!
[14:06] ---
The time has arrived, Lord Ibuki!
[14:09] ---
Armed savages have appeared from the rear!
[14:12] ---
Is it the rebels?!
[14:25] ---
A Bounded One?!
[14:27] ---
Leave it to the savages to use ones so lowly!
[14:40] ---
All that move are to be treated as rebels!
[14:44] ---
Heed my words! Kill all those of Nil Kamui!
[15:04] ---
No... Why is this happening?!
[15:12] ---
Val, let's begin.
[15:26] ---
If you don't move aside, you'll die.
[15:29] ---
What haughty words coming
from the likes of a rebel!
[15:43] ---
Ibuki...
[15:49] ---
At least for today, take this with you...
[15:52] ---
Your father would be pleased.
[15:54] ---
Fugaku...
[15:56] ---
Did he plan for this?
[16:11] ---
Ibuki!
[16:16] ---
I see!
[16:18] ---
So, you were seeking the Dragon Eye all along.
[16:24] ---
How dare you bring this about,
you lowly savage?!
[16:28] ---
What do you mean, "savage"?!
[16:34] ---
One fit to be the king of Nil Kamui...
[16:41] ---
Kai! Run!
[16:52] ---
Mashiro!
[16:57] ---
This can't be...
[17:03] ---
I'll make you pay for what you did to Mashiro!
[17:09] ---
Kai!
[17:12] ---
What a nuisance...
[17:36] ---
What should I do?
[17:39] ---
I thought becoming a king
would bring about war again...
[17:45] ---
They're still inside!
[17:46] ---
Your father and family are already...!
[17:48] ---
Kouran's army is closing in!
[17:51] ---
Now hurry!
[17:52] ---
I thought Nil Kamui
didn't need a king anymore...
[17:57] ---
I thought the existence of a king
prevented war from ending...
[18:00] ---
But war followed me...
[18:09] ---
Am I again unable to do anything?
[18:13] ---
Pledge yourself to me, Imperial.
[18:19] ---
Present me an offering,
and pledge yourself to me.
[18:23] ---
Etch into the world what you desire.
[18:27] ---
Pledge...
[18:28] ---
Your pledge, Imperial.
[18:31] ---
With your resolve, I shall grant
you the powers of the dragon.
[18:37] ---
Pledge...
[18:39] ---
If I enter into contract with you...
[18:41] ---
Will everyone... Will Mashiro be saved?
[18:49] ---
Yes.
[18:50] ---
If that is what you so desire.
[18:55] ---
I...
[18:57] ---
...want to...
[18:59] ---
...change this world!
[19:01] ---
Your wish will be granted.
[19:13] ---
Am I...
[19:15] ---
...going to die?
[19:17] ---
I'll never let that happen!
[19:21] ---
Ibuki...
[19:22] ---
Red Dragon! Hurry!
[19:25] ---
Hurry and save Mashiro!
[19:32] ---
My hand...
[19:34] ---
Offer to me an equivalent
[19:38] ---
and achieve your desire.
[19:41] ---
N-No!
[19:43] ---
Wh-Why do I...?!
[19:47] ---
You made a pledge with Red Dragon.
[19:52] ---
Mashiro...
[19:54] ---
This is what it means to make
a pledge with Red Dragon.
[19:57] ---
I'm so happy.
[20:00] ---
I'm able to offer my life to you, Ibuki.
[20:04] ---
A Child of Contract converts the souls
of those they are bonded to into a blade,
[20:08] ---
delivering countries from crisis.
[20:11] ---
It's exactly according to legend...
[20:16] ---
Stop!
[20:17] ---
Stop! Please stop!
[20:20] ---
Don't cry...
[20:22] ---
Don't worry...
[20:23] ---
Ibuki, I'll always be on your side, so...
[20:30] ---
...please be a good king...
[20:41] ---
The pledge has been fulfilled.
[20:47] ---
I shall accept you as
Nil Kamui's Child of Contract.
[20:55] ---
Found you, brat!
[21:13] ---
You monster!
[21:19] ---
Silence!
[21:22] ---
In the name of the Child of Contract
and of Red Dragon...
[21:29] ---
...perish!
[21:34] ---
Th-This is a Dragon's...!
[21:46] ---
Young girl, this battle
will be placed on hold for now.
[21:55] ---
That's...
[21:57] ---
I see...
[22:00] ---
I think I understand a bit more
about why I was called.
[22:03] ---
Black Dragon is quite a trickster.
[22:07] ---
My lord, that is an Imperial...
[22:10] ---
The one who carries the blood
of the king of this country.
[22:13] ---
I can see that, Lou.
[22:15] ---
It seems quite delicious...
[22:17] ---
Indeed...
[22:19] ---
To find prey such as that
on this island was unexpected.
[22:44] ---
Did Mashiro die?
[22:48] ---
Who are you?
[22:49] ---
I'm Eykha...
[22:51] ---
...a member of the revolution.
[22:53] ---
Who are you?
[22:55] ---
I'm Ibuki.
[22:59] ---
This island's...
[23:03] ---
Mashiro...
[23:10] ---
I...
[23:15] ---
...will become king of this island.

[00:15] ---
Child of Contract...?
[00:17] ---
A Child of Contract...
[00:18] ---
A Child of Contract has finally appeared...
[00:25] ---
We'll protect him until he rises to the throne.
[00:31] ---
We are the members of the revolution
seeking independence for Nil Kamui.
[00:35] ---
Please, use us to your will, Child of Contract.
[00:38] ---
Fugaku...
[00:40] ---
Why did you make me wear the Ryugatou?
[00:43] ---
You knew Kouran would go through the market.
[00:46] ---
Why...?
[00:47] ---
I did not expect this result.
[00:50] ---
But... I have heard your
will to rise as king, and--
[00:53] ---
Why did Mashiro have to die?!
[00:57] ---
You're the one who killed her!
[00:59] ---
He's no Child of Contract!
[01:01] ---
He's... He's just a murderer!
[01:03] ---
He killed my sister, Mashiro!
[01:07] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[01:10] ---
It's a small country.
[01:11] ---
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[01:16] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[01:19] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[01:22] ---

[01:26] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[01:29] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.

Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.

Nil Kamui | Shuka revolution army quarter
[03:24] ---
I-I'm not afraid of any Bounded One.
[03:27] ---
Back in the old days, the likes of you
wouldn't even be able to speak with us!
[03:32] ---
Are you acquainted with Mashiro?
[03:35] ---
You know my sister, Mashiro...?
[03:38] ---
No...
[03:40] ---
She's not actually my real sister, but I really...
[03:44] ---
...liked her?
[03:47] ---
That's not it...
[04:02] ---
How marvelous...
[04:04] ---
My lord's authority makes even
the most mindless of beasts kneel.
[04:09] ---
I thought this place to be
a petty island of little value,
[04:12] ---
but this place is quite... interesting.
[04:15] ---
Mashiro was a shrine maiden
of the Child of Contract?
[04:18] ---
That's what I heard.
[04:20] ---
That means Ibuki was at the castle, too.
[04:23] ---
So why'd he kill Mashiro, then?!
[04:25] ---
Don't the shrine maidens serve the
Imperials who came from the line of kings?
[04:31] ---
Mashiro told me...
[04:34] ---
Long, long ago, Red Dragon made a promise.
[04:37] ---
If the Child of Contract, the king,
made a suitable offering,
[04:41] ---
Red Dragon would lend its blade in return.
[04:43] ---
Offering?
[04:45] ---
A bonded soul.
[04:48] ---
There are a number of interpretations of this,
[04:50] ---
but I think it means to
offer everything to the king.
[04:55] ---
An equivalent exchange of
the life of someone precious
[04:58] ---
for the life of one who may get in the way...
[05:01] ---
What an ingenious scheme.
[05:04] ---
So, you're telling me that Mashiro offered
her soul to Ibuki by her own accord?
[05:09] ---
Mashiro eagerly awaited
the arrival of such a day.
[05:13] ---
But...!
[05:14] ---
But that's wrong...
[05:17] ---
Kai, you heard how Red Dragon went mad
and destroyed villages around the area, right?
[05:24] ---
Are you saying that this is all
because Red Dragon went mad?
[05:27] ---
Kai...
[05:29] ---
What, so you weren't responsible for killing
Mashiro because Red Dragon is insane?!
[05:36] ---
Lord Ibuki.
[05:38] ---
There you are.
[05:41] ---
While this country went
without a king, the council...
[05:41] ---
Nil Kamui | Shuka revolution army quarter
[05:44] ---
...or should I say, the provisional government,
[05:47] ---
along with D'natia and Kouran, usurped us.
[05:50] ---
Now is the time for us to regain this country.
[05:53] ---
Did I really become a Child of Contract?
[05:57] ---
The power you exhibited
to defeat Kouran's general
[06:00] ---
is no doubt the power of Red Dragon.
[06:03] ---
We will move ourselves
somewhere safe tonight.
[06:09] ---
Kouran's reinforcements
should arrive by daybreak.
[06:12] ---
We'll leave at once.
[06:14] ---
Oh, c'mon. That's not going to help me.
[06:17] ---
Who are you?
[06:19] ---
Hey there! We pretty much came from D'natia.
[06:22] ---
What do you mean "pretty much"?
[06:24] ---
You're that...
[06:29] ---
D'natia?!
[06:30] ---
You've got some nerve coming here now!
[06:32] ---
Sir Black Dragon Knight...
[06:35] ---
Yup, I'm Sweallow Clazzvali
of the Black Dragon Knights.
[06:41] ---
My name is Meryl Sherbet.
[06:43] ---
I am an attendant to Sir Sweallow.
[06:46] ---
Black Dragon Knight...
[06:48] ---
A mighty soldier said to have received
[06:50] ---
the power of D'natia's
guardian deity, Black Dragon...
[06:54] ---
I heard there are only thirty like him
out of D'natia's force of 300,000.
[06:58] ---
I can't believe one of them...
[07:00] ---
Hm? "One of them" what?
[07:03] ---
Has the look of an idiot.
[07:05] ---
Whoa... That's gonna hurt me bad, Meryl.
[07:08] ---
So... What is a great person
like you doing here?
[07:11] ---
Come now, you're the great one, Ibuki.
[07:14] ---
You're this country's runner-up for king.
[07:17] ---
By request of Nil Kamui's council,
[07:19] ---
we would like to bring you on as a member
of the expedition for Red Dragon...
[07:23] ---
...or at least that's what I heard.
[07:25] ---
I was selected to be a
member of the expedition, too.
[07:28] ---
Red Dragon... expedition?
[07:33] ---
Nil Kamui | Shuka prison
[07:39] ---
I can't believe you called me at this hour...
[07:41] ---
I am truly sorry for bringing you here.
[07:44] ---
But there was no way we
could let him out of here...
[07:51] ---
Welcome to this filthy prison.
[07:56] ---
It looks like the current rulers
of Nil Kamui are here.
[08:00] ---
I didn't notice you here...
[08:02] ---
Agito... Kouran's forces were
attacked by the revolutionary army.
[08:06] ---
Ah, in town, right?
[08:08] ---
Are you the one who gave the order?
[08:10] ---
Listen carefully...
[08:11] ---
We need to confirm the rumor
of Red Dragon going mad.
[08:16] ---
But moving a country's force will
bring about unwanted confusion.
[08:21] ---
Hence, Kouran...
[08:24] ---
...D'natia...
[08:25] ---
...and the rebel army...
[08:27] ---
Correction... "The revolutionary army."
[08:30] ---
The three countries are to send their elite
to form the expedition for Red Dragon.
[08:35] ---
That was our agreement.
[08:38] ---
In order to bring Ibuki aboard the expedition,
he needed to have his eyes opened a bit.
[08:43] ---
Are you telling me that Kouran and the
revolutionary army were sacrificed for that?
[08:49] ---
That's fine... I'll treat this as if
it was an unfortunate accident.
[08:54] ---
But I won't let you do such a thing again
[08:58] ---
until after the combined
expedition finds Red Dragon...
[09:03] ---
Shuka outskirts | Kouran force's camp site
[09:03] ---
Unfortunate accident?!
[09:05] ---
I could care less about
the combined expedition!
[09:08] ---
Nil Kamui's rebels are the ones
who caused the commotion!
[09:10] ---
When are the reinforcements going to arrive?!
[09:13] ---
Return at once...
[09:15] ---
There's no way I can heed such an order!
[09:17] ---
I will get back the stolen Dragon Eye!
[09:21] ---
Lady Kohkaku.
[09:24] ---
Are you certain that this "Child of Contract"
was the one who killed Kohretsu?
[09:28] ---
Yes, everyone is saying that it
was by the power of Red Dragon.
[09:32] ---
Why would one from the king's
lineage reside at an orphanage?
[09:35] ---
It is true. After all, he came to our stall
a number of times to make purchases.
[09:40] ---
I thank you for your information.
[09:42] ---
Now, please return to us our child
whom you have summoned!
[09:46] ---
Ah, I see.
[09:47] ---
That handsome-looking boy
was your son, was he?
[09:51] ---
But you're too late...
[09:53] ---
What?
[09:54] ---
A special spell of the Kouran
allows one to burn life onto a seal.
[09:59] ---
Your son's life is now a part of me,
to protect me from harm...
[10:06] ---
Mom...
[10:11] ---
And so we really need your
power to find Red Dragon, Ibuki.
[10:19] ---
D'natia and Kouran, who are in
conflict over dominion of this island,
[10:22] ---
forming a combined expedition in goodwill?
[10:25] ---
That's hard to believe.
[10:26] ---
Besides us, I heard that there is a participant
from the revolutionary army as well.
[10:30] ---
That is news to me.
[10:32] ---
In the first place, where is
Kouran's representative?
[10:34] ---
We're supposed to meet up somewhere in
this town, but I haven't met the person yet.
[10:38] ---
They're supposed to have
something like this on them...
[10:41] ---
Huh? Wait a minute.
[10:42] ---
Unlike Kouran, D'natia and
Nil Kamui have always been allies.
[10:47] ---
We're like friends... Right?
[10:49] ---
It seems you've forgotten, so make sure
this gets through that thick skull of yours.
[10:54] ---
D'natia was allied with this island's royal family,
[10:58] ---
but when Kouran's forces invaded Nil Kamui,
[11:01] ---
our country defended only the towns
where our military bases were stationed.
[11:05] ---
Huh? Then what happened to the king?
[11:08] ---
The king was assassinated during the turmoil
with Kouran during the Seven Year War,
[11:12] ---
and as a result, Nil Kamui accepted a treaty
which signified complete surrender.
[11:16] ---
Whoa... That was a terrible
move by our country.
[11:20] ---
Excuse me...
[11:21] ---
...but I...
[11:23] ---
The Kouran force...
[11:25] ---
The Kouran force is laying siege to the town!
[11:29] ---
So, their reinforcements arrived already.
[11:31] ---
No, it's actually the remnant
force from earlier today.
[11:33] ---
If that's all there is,
we can fight them on our own!
[11:38] ---
Please wait!
[11:39] ---
There are children in the town!
[11:43] ---
I'm assuming it's futile to try to stop you...
[11:46] ---
You know, you really are the best
attendant I could have, Meryl.
[11:55] ---
Mashiro...
[11:57] ---
I said horrible things to Ibuki.
[12:00] ---
But...
[12:11] ---
Let the flames dance until they reach
the eyes of this "Child of Contract!"
[12:15] ---
Cry until they reach that one's ears!
[12:19] ---
Bound One | A slave whose body
has been linked to that of a monster.
[12:28] ---
You're unfit for this.
[12:29] ---
Let me go! Who are you?!
[12:31] ---
Ibuki...
[12:33] ---
Yes... I hear he's able to convert the souls
of those precious to him into power.
[12:39] ---
There must be something you can do, too...
[12:42] ---
My... soul?
[12:51] ---
We'll go all out on them!
[12:52] ---
Open the gates!
[12:54] ---
Nah, if you open the gates, everyone will die.
[12:57] ---
What's this about, Black Dragon Knight?
[12:59] ---
Now, now. I think this is about
the only way to gain your trust.
[13:03] ---
Besides, I don't want to see
any children get killed...
[13:07] ---
Right, Meryl?
[13:13] ---
Finally... but only one of them?
[13:16] ---
Hm? He's not one of the rebels.
[13:20] ---
Die!
[13:22] ---
Oh, well...
[13:34] ---
My debt to Meryl's going to increase again.
[13:38] ---
What's with that move?!
[13:40] ---
Who cares? Charge!
[13:44] ---
Guess it can't be helped...
[14:03] ---
What's with his battle style?
[14:06] ---
Any instrument he wields falls apart.
[14:10] ---
That's the curse he was born with.
[14:17] ---
But the moment it falls apart...
[14:19] ---
...that instrument is capable
of exerting all of its power.
[14:26] ---
Now then...
[14:28] ---
I wonder how much he's
planning to waste on this battle.
[14:38] ---
That direction...
[14:40] ---
Could it be...?!
[14:41] ---
Where are you going?
[14:43] ---
Fugaku asked for you to stay here.
[14:46] ---
Eykha, was it?
[14:48] ---
Please...
[14:49] ---
Please?
[14:51] ---
You're saying that to me, a Bounded One?
[14:53] ---
Please...
[14:55] ---
...let me ride on your friend's back.
[15:00] ---
Sure.
[15:06] ---
I knew it!
[15:07] ---
Could everyone still be inside?
[15:08] ---
I'll distract her, so you go on in.
[15:19] ---
Is anyone around...?!
[15:22] ---
Ibuki!
[15:23] ---
Ibuki!
[15:26] ---
Thank goodness! It'll be all right.
[15:29] ---
You came back to save them?
[15:31] ---
Yes... You protected them, didn't you, Kai?
[15:35] ---
Thank you.
[15:51] ---
Bite it to pieces, Val!
[15:53] ---
I hold more than one life!
[16:05] ---
Eykha!
[16:08] ---
This isn't good...
At this rate, we'll all be killed!
[16:12] ---
We need to defeat her.
[16:18] ---
I'll use that power once more...
[16:21] ---
Answer me...
[16:22] ---
...Red Dragon!
[16:37] ---
Imperial...
[16:39] ---
So, you desire the flames I possess?
[16:42] ---
The contract was enacted.
[16:44] ---
You forced the offering from me.
[16:47] ---
A person that was precious to me...!
[16:50] ---
Indeed.
[16:51] ---
If so, bring about that flame once
more and get rid of the enemy!
[16:55] ---
If that is what you desire,
then offer me an equivalent.
[17:00] ---
I already paid for that...!
[17:03] ---
I...
[17:04] ---
One life, one soul... Scales are impartial.
[17:10] ---
One life, one soul?
[17:15] ---
What's with that nonsense?!
[17:16] ---
Ibuki...
[17:18] ---
It's my turn now!
[17:19] ---
What are you saying, Kai?!
[17:21] ---
Red Dragon seeks the soul of
someone you're bonded to, right?
[17:24] ---
Couldn't that also mean
someone who's your friend, Ibuki?
[17:29] ---
What are you...?
[17:30] ---
Kill me, just like you did Mashiro!
[17:33] ---
Then go and beat that monster!
[17:36] ---
Stop it! Please... stop!
[17:39] ---
I killed Mashiro with my own hands.
[17:41] ---
I won't let another...
[17:44] ---
You're a king, right?!
[17:45] ---
You're going to become a king, right?!
[17:47] ---
Are you going to let all of them
die in front of you?!
[17:51] ---
No... I can't...
[17:53] ---
I'm not good enough? Am I not
your friend anymore, Ibuki?!
[17:57] ---
Kai.
[17:58] ---
You're my...
[18:04] ---
Ibuki!
[18:05] ---
I can't believe you can use such a terrifying
move with that cute face of yours.
[18:09] ---
Where is the Dragon Eye?
[18:11] ---
There it is!
[18:17] ---
Out of my way!
[18:23] ---
Kai...! Kai!
[18:25] ---
The equivalent has been received.
[18:28] ---
Red Dragon! What are you saying?!
[18:30] ---
I didn't kill Kai!
[18:32] ---
He has the birthright to be king, yet could
not stop what occurred in front of his eyes.
[18:36] ---
That is called abandonment,
and is akin to murder.
[18:40] ---
Ah... So that's how a dragon sees it.
[18:43] ---
Souls hold that much weight,
and thus are sweet.
[18:47] ---
Indeed, my lord...
[18:50] ---
Thank goodness...
[18:52] ---
Kai...
[18:54] ---
Red Dragon acknowledged...
[18:56] ---
...that I'm still your friend, Ibuki...
[19:01] ---
I said a lot of horrible things to you... Sorry...
[19:04] ---
I was... jealous...
[19:08] ---
...of you and sis...
[19:11] ---
...Mashiro...
[19:16] ---
Do as you desire, Imperial.
[19:21] ---
I couldn't protect him...
[19:23] ---
That's the same as killing him...
[19:26] ---
That's what you want to say,
isn't it, Red Dragon...?
[19:31] ---
He's fused with the Dragon Eye?
[19:33] ---
Steel Form, release!
[19:36] ---
I'll gouge the Dragon Eye from you!
[19:38] ---
Young boy, if you're going to curse anything,
[19:40] ---
curse your misfortune in being
born on this island of savages!
[20:10] ---
In the name of the Child of
Contract and Red Dragon...
[20:15] ---
...perish!
[20:42] ---
Are you sure about this?
[20:44] ---
Yes... I'll join your combined expedition.
[20:50] ---
If I stay here, I'll lose more
of those precious to me...
[20:54] ---
What?
[20:55] ---
I want to meet Red Dragon.
[20:58] ---
And I want to return this power.
[21:03] ---
No... This curse!
[21:07] ---
Got it.
[21:08] ---
Let's go, then.
[21:09] ---
Fugaku, please take care of the children.
[21:23] ---
Ibuki!
[21:34] ---
You're...?
[21:35] ---
Kouran's representative.
[21:37] ---
She's...
[21:43] ---
So we finally meet, Ibuki.
[21:45] ---
Will you be my friend?

Nil Kamui | Orphanage on
the outskirts of Shuka
[00:12] ---
Friend? Me?
[00:15] ---
Yes.
[00:16] ---
My name is Lou Chun Wah.
[00:18] ---
I hope to be of assistance.
[00:20] ---
I'm...
[00:22] ---
Ibuki, right?
[00:24] ---
You were recommended to
the Red Dragon expedition.
[00:27] ---
I see!
[00:29] ---
So you're the other member of the expedition.
[00:38] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[00:41] ---
It's a small island country.
[00:43] ---
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[00:48] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[00:51] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[00:53] ---
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
[00:58] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[01:00] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
[01:04] ---
Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.
[01:10] ---
Imperial Era 3015, September...
[01:13] ---
Our country was no longer ours.
[02:49] ---
Nil Kamui | Orphanage on
the outskirts of Shuka
[02:52] ---
Now, then! The time to begin our
combined expedition is finally here!
[02:57] ---
Um, tomorrow we'll leave Shuka and head
[03:00] ---
to the city of Haiga, where there's supposed
to be someone familiar with Red Dragon!
[03:05] ---
Right?
[03:07] ---
Exactly.
[03:08] ---
I'm surprised you didn't forget that.
[03:10] ---
Yeah, my memory is pretty good!
[03:13] ---
By the way, I feel like we should
improve our intercommunication.
[03:18] ---
How about we grab something to eat in town
here in Shuka before we go on our mission?
[03:21] ---
I'm sorry.
[03:22] ---
Huh?
[03:23] ---
There's someplace I want to go,
so please head to town ahead of me.
[03:32] ---
I am sorry, but I feel we are not in a position
to associate with you in such a manner as yet.
[03:37] ---
Now, if you'll excuse us.
[03:45] ---
Why, I'd be happy to join you.
[03:50] ---
Good for you, Sir Sweallow.
[03:53] ---
Meryl, I'm not trying to
get to know her personally.
[03:58] ---
It's for the mission.
[04:00] ---
I understand.
[04:02] ---
While I go drinking with her, see what
you can find out about her, will you?
[04:11] ---
Understood.
[04:12] ---
Now, then...
[04:13] ---
And...
[04:15] ---
Huh?
[04:21] ---
I'm sorry, but could you lend
me money to pay for the drinks?
[04:28] ---
Enjoy your time with her.
[04:35] ---
Mashiro... Kai... May you rest in peace.
[04:40] ---
Fugaku went to see Agito.
[04:42] ---
Agito?
[04:44] ---
He's the leader of the revolutionary army.
[04:46] ---
And I'm your escort.
[04:49] ---
Revolutionary army...
[04:53] ---
Shuka | Urban district
[04:58] ---
Lou... was it?
[05:00] ---
I wanted to ask, but is that large and
important-looking piece your weapon?
[05:07] ---
Weapon?
[05:08] ---
No, not quite.
[05:10] ---
It is a weapon, and yet it's not.
[05:13] ---
This here is my life.
[05:15] ---
Then, in other words, it's a weapon
you can't use carelessly.
[05:18] ---
Is it some sort of heirloom, or...
[05:25] ---
Does it interest you that much?
[05:27] ---
Ah, no.
[05:35] ---
Well, I just don't do well with tools.
[05:40] ---
Nine out of ten times...
[05:45] ---
No... Ninety-nine out of a hundred times,
they break if I try to use them.
[05:52] ---
I see.
[05:54] ---
I've never been attached to any tool before.
[05:57] ---
That's why I wanted to know why
you said that it was your life, Lou.
[06:05] ---
It just crossed my mind, that's all.
[06:08] ---
People don't choose tools.
[06:13] ---
Tools choose the people.
[06:15] ---
Are you telling me that your weapon chose you?
[06:20] ---
It seems you don't know
the joy of being chosen...
[06:23] ---
Could it be that the tools do not like you?

[06:48] ---
Is this your store?
[06:51] ---
Yes, it's a Sherbet Company branch store
[06:54] ---
under my operation.
[06:56] ---
I thought you were Sweallow's attendant.
[07:00] ---
Technically, yes, but there's more
to it than being an attendant.
[07:04] ---
I'm actually managing Sir Sweallow's
assets after he went bankrupt.
[07:13] ---
Now then, I'll have the rest
of the luggage transported.
[07:16] ---
Let's have something to eat before we return.
[07:18] ---
Yes, that's...
[07:21] ---
Thank you, but I'll return to the inn by myself.
[07:36] ---
Like, y'know, I told 'em that...
[07:39] ---
Ow! The hell...
[07:41] ---
The heck ya doing...?!
[07:42] ---
Hey, stop it. That's a Bounded One.
[07:45] ---
Nothing to be gained from
getting involved with them.
[07:47] ---
Besides, they got stuck with monsters,
so it's not like they got much time to live.
[07:54] ---

[08:10] ---
Indeed.
[08:11] ---
Yeah, amazing!
[08:13] ---
See, Ibuki? Those elephants
are called Gadanans.
[08:18] ---
I see...
[08:20] ---
Ah, um... Did I say something bad?
[08:24] ---
Maybe he's discontent
with joining the expedition.
[08:29] ---
Well, he's the one who said he wanted to join.
[08:32] ---
So, where are we supposed to go again?
[08:34] ---
Have you already forgotten
what you said yesterday?
[08:36] ---
I'm good at forgetting things!
[08:46] ---
Right now, we're here in Shuka.
[08:49] ---
Our destination is towards the south--
the neutral city of Haiga.
[08:53] ---
There's a certain person there that
is said to be the friend of Red Dragon.
[08:58] ---
His name is Ka Grava, also known
as the "Undead Merchant."
[09:04] ---
Haiga is owned by him.
[09:06] ---
Actually, five percent of all the wealth
in this world is supposedly owned by him.
[09:11] ---
In any case, we need to extract
information from him about Red Dragon.
[09:25] ---
Now then, I'll leave the rest to you, Miska.
[09:27] ---
No problem!
[09:28] ---
Good.
[09:30] ---
The combined expedition departs now!
[09:34] ---
Shuka | Prison
[09:36] ---
Wouldn't joining forces with Kouran and D'natia
[09:39] ---
make us vulnerable to their manipulation?
[09:44] ---
Kouran won't exterminate Ibuki so
long as he's part of the expedition.
[09:49] ---
That buys us time to prepare ourselves.
[09:53] ---
You're being too optimistic.
[09:55] ---
And once the expedition gets on its way...
[09:58] ---
...Ibuki will naturally be drawn closer to
Red Dragon--in other words, to his roots.
[10:04] ---
Trust me here.
[10:06] ---
Please support Ibuki.
[10:08] ---
Understood.
[10:14] ---
Now then... I wonder who will be
burned by Red Dragon's flames.
[10:39] ---
Nil Kamui | Yuunagi Village
[10:49] ---
Red Dragon did this throughout the land...?
[10:53] ---
I need to hurry and do something about this.
[11:12] ---
Val!
[11:18] ---
Eykha!
[11:19] ---
Run!
[11:21] ---
But your friend is hurt!
[11:23] ---
Just get out of here!
[11:25] ---
Behind you!
[11:40] ---
Eykha...
[11:41] ---
The next time you're in danger,
raise your voice.
[11:45] ---
My job is to protect you, after all.
[11:51] ---
Is it only because Agito told you to do so?
[11:55] ---
Please let me ride on your friend's back...
[11:59] ---
That's not the only reason.
[12:03] ---
I'm sorry...
[12:09] ---
The Two Great Countries | The ancient country
of Kouran is known as the origin of civilization.
[12:23] ---
It's okay, Meryl...
[12:26] ---
This isn't a marriage fraud
like the other girl before... Ow!
[12:28] ---
Please wake up, Sir Sweallow.
[12:32] ---
Isn't it normal to wake someone up by saying
something instead of just hitting them?
[12:37] ---
I've put together a report
regarding Lou Chun Wah.
[12:41] ---
Let's see now...
[12:43] ---
"An assassin associated with Kouran's
secret society, the Eight Claw Clan.
[12:46] ---
As an assassin, she is highly skilled..."
[12:49] ---
Oh, come on... Her title is way unfitting
to be part of the Red Dragon expedition.
[12:55] ---
What shall we do? We'll be entering
Kouran territory by tomorrow.
[12:58] ---
Now is the time to do something about it.
[13:00] ---
What to do, eh?
[13:03] ---
It's not like Lou is against us, you know?
[13:07] ---
Besides...
[13:09] ---
...in terms of having an unfitting title,
we're not any better.
[13:13] ---
I do have orders from Black Dragon, after all.
[13:17] ---
To kill Red Dragon...
[13:24] ---
Lou, this island is filled with
worthy prey to feed off of.
[13:29] ---
Yes, my lord.
[13:30] ---
I will most certainly offer to you
the best among the prey.
[13:34] ---
The Child of Contract, the Black
Dragon Knight, and finally...
[13:39] ---
...Red Dragon...
[13:49] ---
Nil Kamui | Jinrai prefecture
[13:57] ---
Guess we'll be staying here overnight.
[14:00] ---
Jinrai is the acting base for
Kouran's occupation forces.
[14:04] ---
Lou is gathering information,
so let's wait for her return.
[14:09] ---
That's right...
[14:11] ---
Ibuki, can you please take this meal to Eykha?
[14:15] ---
Me?
[14:17] ---
She's like your friend, right?
[14:21] ---
Friend...
[14:27] ---
No, she's not...
[14:41] ---
I brought you some food.
[14:43] ---
I'm fine with the same thing Val eats.
[14:46] ---
Same...? But you're a human.
[14:49] ---
That's not what the others say.
[14:51] ---
A Bound One refers to a
human bound to a monster.
[14:54] ---
I'm the revolutionary army's weapon.
[14:56] ---
Right now, I'm your blade.
[14:59] ---
But that's so wrong...
[15:02] ---
You're saying the same
thing that Mashiro told me.
[15:05] ---
It's not like those like me live for very long.
[15:09] ---
Mashiro...
[15:12] ---
This was back when I joined
the revolutionary army.
[15:19] ---
I'm sorry, but this is all I have right now.
[15:23] ---
Thank you...
[15:25] ---
But I can't repay you.
[15:30] ---
Eykha, you're strong, right?
[15:33] ---
If so, please join me in protecting my friend.
[15:37] ---
You're Mashiro's friend, so I'll protect you.
[15:43] ---
But I killed Mashiro...
[15:48] ---
Red Dragon sought your friend...
[15:51] ---
...and so Mashiro responded.
[15:54] ---
If that's the case, I'm not going
to make friends anymore...
[16:08] ---
So Haiga is surrounded
by Kouran's forces, it seems.
[16:11] ---
A bit of a bother, don't you think, Lou?
[16:13] ---
I'm a member of the expedition, my lord.
[16:16] ---
The military's intention is not my concern.
[16:22] ---
Oh, my, who could it be?
[16:24] ---
Lou Chun Wah, I presume.
[16:26] ---
I've come to take vengeance
for my lady, General Kohkaku.
[16:30] ---
No matter what secret assignment you have,
it doesn't change the treason you've committed!
[16:35] ---
What timing, Lou.
[16:37] ---
I was starting to feel the pangs of hunger.
[16:40] ---
Yes, my lord...
[16:42] ---
It is quite vexing to have ones
such as them barring our way.
[17:01] ---
Satisfy yourselves...
[17:02] ---
This is the last blade you
will be seeing in your life.
[17:11] ---
So beautiful...
[17:13] ---
It's mine...
[17:17] ---
That blade is worthy of me...!
[17:21] ---
No.
[17:22] ---
My lord is mine alone...
[17:39] ---
Ah, that was quite satisfying, Lou.
[17:42] ---
That is good to hear.
[17:58] ---
Nil Kamui | Haiga outskirts
[18:01] ---
Lady Gakusho,
[18:02] ---
it seems the city of Haiga still has ample supplies.
[18:02] ---
Kouran force encampment
[18:05] ---
On the other hand,
[18:07] ---
our supplies are starting to dwindle.
[18:09] ---
It's been about a month
since we surrounded them.
[18:12] ---
We better do something about this
before D'natia gets involved.
[18:16] ---
Then let us take Haiga before that happens.
[18:19] ---
Yeah, we've got to pay back
what's due to the Undead Merchant.
[18:23] ---
I'll drill him full of holes!
[18:27] ---
It looks like Haiga is completely surrounded.
[18:31] ---
I thought that city took a neutral stance?
[18:33] ---
From what I garnered at Jinrai,
[18:35] ---
it seems they are suspected of
helping to fund the revolutionary army.
[18:38] ---
That's not all.
[18:40] ---
Word is that D'natia's forces led
by Lady Ulrika are headed here.
[18:46] ---
In other words, it's only a matter of time
until the city turns into a battlefield.
[18:51] ---
Our country's concern for its
social standing isn't going to help.
[18:54] ---
That said...
[18:56] ---
Word is that the Undead Merchant's manor
is located near Haiga's precipitous coastline,
[19:00] ---
making it much like a fortress.
[19:02] ---
That means we'll need to come up
with a plan to get into the place.
[19:06] ---
One, we can wait for conflict to arise
between D'natia and Kouran's forces,
[19:09] ---
then make our way into the city.
[19:12] ---
Isn't that a bit bothersome?
[19:14] ---
Two, we can try to negotiate
earnestly through company venues.
[19:18] ---
If that brought results, Kouran would've
resolved the conflict by now.
[19:22] ---
Then three would be infiltration.
[19:25] ---
That I can do, so long as I move alone.
[19:28] ---
Ah! Can you take me with you?!
[19:32] ---
You, Ibuki?
[19:34] ---
Yes!
[19:35] ---
If an Imperial with strong ties
with Red Dragon is there,
[19:39] ---
the Undead Merchant may
listen to what we have to say.
[19:42] ---
So, please!
[19:45] ---
I see... Well, let's go, shall we?
[19:48] ---
You and me are friends after all, right, Ibuki?
[19:52] ---
W-We're not friends, really...
[19:59] ---
I need to meet Red Dragon as soon as possible.
[20:03] ---
I'm not going to let anyone else
get dragged into misery...
[20:09] ---
Well, now, here we go.
[20:11] ---
Huh?
[20:12] ---
Wha--?!
[20:15] ---
W-Wait! Please put me down!
[20:17] ---
I can scale the wall myself!
[20:19] ---
No talking, or else you'll bite your tongue.
[20:39] ---
Nil Kamui | Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
[20:48] ---
What is this place...?
[20:49] ---
Structurally speaking, I believe this is
supposed to be this manor's lord's room.
[20:54] ---
Such an unusual room...
[20:55] ---
Living room
[20:56] ---
It doesn't feel like anyone lives here.
[21:02] ---
Didn't something move just now?
[21:05] ---
I didn't notice anything.
[21:12] ---
Lou!
[21:13] ---
Yes?
[21:14] ---
Um, well...
[21:17] ---
Ibuki, it's not good to tease adults.
[21:28] ---
Good morning, strangers.
[21:32] ---
I am Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham Stahl.
[21:36] ---
You're...
[21:38] ---
The Undead Merchant?
[21:40] ---
Hm, indeed.
[21:44] ---
Now then, why don't you
both join me for breakfast...?
[21:48] ---
Sounds good, yes?!
[21:50] ---
Act 3
[21:52] ---
Act 3
Three as One
[23:32] ---
Act 4
[23:32] ---
Act 4: "Amid Enemies."
[23:35] ---
Haiga is about to be engulfed in warfare.
[23:38] ---
The time draws near for the
anguished Ibuki to make a new choice.
[23:42] ---
Who will he kill, and who will he save?

[00:12] ---
Good morning, strangers.
[00:15] ---
I am Ka Grava-Rai Fuu-Durham Stahl.
[00:20] ---
You're...
[00:21] ---
The Undead Merchant?
[00:24] ---
Hm, indeed.
[00:27] ---
Now then, why don't you
both join me for breakfast...?
[00:31] ---
Sounds good, yes?!
[00:35] ---
Can you please be a bit quieter?
[00:39] ---
Even with your Wu Xing Ti, my fists are
capable of destroying you from the inside.
[00:43] ---
P-Please wait!
[00:45] ---
We came here to speak
with you about Red Dragon!
[00:49] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[00:52] ---
It's a small island country.
[00:54] ---
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[00:59] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[01:02] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[01:05] ---
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
[01:09] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[01:12] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
[01:16] ---
Our guardian deity, Red Dragon,
didn't protect the land.
[01:23] ---
Imperial Era 3015, September...
[01:26] ---
Our country was no longer ours.
[03:06] ---
And you folks are?
[03:08] ---
Huh? Can't you make an educated guess?
[03:11] ---
Ah, nice to meet you! My name
is Shaddy, and this here is Sol.
[03:15] ---
We came here to greet you
by order of Lord Ka Grava.
[03:20] ---
Are you both Bounded Ones?
[03:22] ---
Shaddy is.
[03:24] ---
Sol is a human-monster half-breed.
[03:27] ---
He's a Mixed One.
[03:28] ---
A Bounded One and a Mixed One are acting
as messengers for the Undead Merchant?
[03:32] ---
Yes! Lord Ka Grava treats
everyone without discrimination!
[03:37] ---
Oh...?
[03:39] ---
Stop with this prattle.
[03:40] ---
We need to hurry so that we're not found
by the Kouran forces surrounding the city.
[03:44] ---
Ah! I'm so sorry! Sol is always like this.
[03:48] ---
Um, let's go to the city for now, shall we?
[03:51] ---
Okay.
[03:55] ---
I'm sorry to disturb you.
[03:59] ---
This better be worth waking me up...
[04:02] ---
Yes!
[04:04] ---
Well, Ka Grava...
[04:06] ---
He was asleep?!
[04:08] ---
Yes! Over there...
[04:19] ---
During the one month we surrounded him,
that tin can was sleeping all along?!
[04:28] ---
Lord Ka Grava!
[04:32] ---
Lord Ka Grava!
[04:39] ---
Ta-daaaa!
[04:53] ---
Lord Ka Grava!
[04:56] ---
They're here!
[04:58] ---
Oh? So you're members of
the combined expedition, yes?
[05:02] ---
Now, come on board!
[05:04] ---
Let's have a nice chat at my manor!
[05:09] ---
Finally shows up, eh?
[05:12] ---
Today's the day I'm gonna get back
at you for making a fool out of me!
[05:27] ---
Gotcha!
[05:28] ---
I killed Ka Grava!
[05:31] ---
We're gonna crush Haiga by force
before D'natia intervenes!
[05:35] ---
Yes!
[05:37] ---
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
[05:51] ---
The overhaul took one
whole month, and now look!
[05:58] ---
Shaddy!
[05:59] ---
Alley-oop!
[06:07] ---
Well, now, I kept you waiting!
[06:08] ---
I must say, Gakusho shows great taste
in aiming for my costliest part!
[06:14] ---
Gakusho, as in the Kouran general?
[06:17] ---
Why, yes! She was hailed as a master
sniper during the Seven Year War.
[06:22] ---
She seems to have a grudge against me,
even after I sold her guns and gunpowder.
[06:29] ---
There's no sense having all these guns
if we don't have the gunpowder for them!
[06:33] ---
The price for gunpowder has been inflating
in Nil Kamui and even in our country!
[06:37] ---
There's no doubt that Ka Grava
is cornering the market!
[06:40] ---
That bastard!
[06:41] ---
He inflated the price of gunpowder
after he sold the guns for cheap!
[06:49] ---
Retreat!
[06:50] ---
Y-Yes!
[06:51] ---
He's gonna pay for this...!
[06:56] ---
Kouran's forces will lay siege to this city,
[06:59] ---
believing that you're helping
to fund the revolutionary army.
[07:02] ---
Hm... It seems it will be difficult
to maintain Haiga's neutral position.
[07:08] ---
This is the current image of Haiga's main gate.
[07:12] ---
Looks like Kouran's pride,
the steam tank brigade, is in position...
[07:15] ---
I doubt even Haiga's walls
would hold more than a day.
[07:18] ---
It seems Kouran is going on the offensive,
knowing that D'natia is closing in.
[07:23] ---
I know!
[07:24] ---
After battle commences in the city,
we can draw D'natia's forces in,
[07:28] ---
and once confusion arises among the forces,
we can just assassinate both of their leaders!
[07:35] ---
Nah, that's, you know...?
[07:37] ---
I do think it's the simplest approach.
[07:39] ---
No! We need to find a way to
prevent this without hurting anyone!
[07:44] ---
For example?
[07:45] ---
Why not speak with them once more?
[07:49] ---
Ibuki, it's a bit too late for that,
don't you think?
[07:51] ---
Certainly! I think that idea's fine, too.
[07:55] ---
If we speak with them, I'm sure they'll listen...
[07:57] ---
Hm... Well, how about this, then, Ibuki?
[08:00] ---
If you're able to avoid this
battle through negotiation,
[08:04] ---
then I'll acknowledge you as being
worthy to hear Red Dragon's message.
[08:13] ---
Lord Ka Grava?
[08:14] ---
You're there, aren't you?
[08:17] ---
Oh? What is it, Lou?
[08:19] ---
I wanted to give you some
information regarding Ibuki.
[08:24] ---
Oh?
[08:25] ---
He holds mysterious powers
as a Child of Contract.
[08:28] ---
Yes... He has the power to kill anyone in front
of him in exchange for the life of another.
[08:35] ---
Hm... And that's why you
agreed with Ibuki's idea?
[08:39] ---
That's a harsh way to "negotiate," though.
[08:44] ---
It's all for him to decide...
[08:49] ---
I'll go, even if I have to go by myself.
[08:51] ---
Oh, no! One person alone
isn't enough to carry the burden.
[08:55] ---
Then, I'll go with him.
[08:58] ---
Take this with you.
[09:00] ---
This is...?
[09:01] ---
It's my letter of apology to Gakusho.
[09:04] ---
Apology?
[09:05] ---
Yes, an apology for the
one month I've been asleep.
[09:08] ---
In any case, if an Imperial takes this letter of
apology to her, I'm sure she'll at least listen.
[09:14] ---
I'd like to avoid war, too.
[09:17] ---
I hope that you will be able to
find a way to get through to her.
[09:21] ---
Yes!
[09:23] ---
That's the spirit, Ibuki! Spirit! Spirit!
[09:29] ---
I see... So this is what you
were preparing for, Lou...
[09:33] ---
Yes...
[09:35] ---
If he uses that power again,
[09:39] ---
we may be able to determine the
true nature of Red Dragon's power.
[09:43] ---
We must investigate them thoroughly.
[09:49] ---
Wu Xing Ti | The Wu Xing Ti, a technique
allowing the replacement of human parts.
[09:55] ---
Lou Chun Wah, this is as far as you will go.
[09:58] ---
And to think I guided him here...
[10:01] ---
Scary, scary...
[10:03] ---
I'll save you no matter what happens.
[10:06] ---
I won't abandon my friend.
[10:10] ---
I'll be going.
[10:22] ---
I heard Ka Grava's messenger was a descendant
of the Imperials, but all we got was a kid.
[10:27] ---
That sword...
[10:52] ---
Now, no one can bother us.
[10:55] ---
Come in.
[10:59] ---
We'll have to ask you to enter alone.
[11:01] ---
I'll be waiting.
[11:04] ---
Remember that.
[11:13] ---
I'm not big on formalities with my superiors.
[11:16] ---
They scare me!
[11:17] ---
Oh, hush...
[11:20] ---
Besides, we need to buy as much time
as possible while Ibuki is in negotiation.
[11:28] ---
I'm the one who wants to sigh...
[11:28] ---
Haiga outskirts | D'natia force's camp site
[11:31] ---
Hello?
[11:33] ---
Um, I'm looking for a certain person...
[11:36] ---
Where is Lady Ulrika?
[11:41] ---
So we finally meet...
[11:43] ---
...Sir Sweallow Clazzvali.
[11:46] ---
I'm the acting subleader for the third corps
of the Black Dragon Knights, Ulrika Ledezma.
[11:54] ---
I'm the Leader of One-Thousand,
General Seisha of Kouran, Gakusho.
[11:59] ---
My name is Ibuki.
[12:01] ---
I bring to you a letter from
Ka Grava Rai Fuu Gramstahl.
[12:05] ---
What...?
[12:06] ---
It's a letter of apology from Ka Grava.
[12:08] ---
Ka Grava?!
[12:13] ---
Wh-What are you doing?!
[12:17] ---
Stop this farce at once.
[12:20] ---
I'm only meeting you
because you're an Imperial.
[12:24] ---
Are you really going to attack Haiga?
[12:27] ---
Can't you tell?
[12:28] ---
I need to crush the source of
the revolutionary army's funds.
[12:31] ---
Even so, you're going to kill
innocent people just for that?!
[12:35] ---
I lost a lot of comrades myself.
[12:39] ---
Even General Kohkaku,
who took good care of me.
[12:42] ---
This will even everything out, kiddo.
[12:47] ---
I wonder if Ibuki has noticed by now...
[12:50] ---
Gakusho has no intention
of reading my letter...
[12:53] ---
...and is in no way willing to talk.
[12:57] ---
In other words, he...
[12:58] ---
...only has one choice...
[13:00] ---
He needs to kill Gakusho to stop the war.
[13:04] ---
With her gone, the remaining soldiers and
D'natia's forces won't be fighting in Haiga.
[13:12] ---
So what? Don't you have anything
else up your sleeve, Imperial kiddo?
[13:17] ---
Ka Grava and the others knew this was
going to happen from the beginning...
[13:21] ---
Is killing her my only choice...?
[13:24] ---
But in order to do that, I need to
offer a friend to the dragon again...
[13:29] ---
But that's...!
[13:34] ---
What's with that look of yours?!
[13:39] ---
Wha--?!
[13:40] ---
Eykha!
[13:40] ---
Ibuki!
[13:42] ---
That other brat?!
[13:45] ---
You savages are out of your minds!
[13:48] ---
Shoot me.
[13:51] ---
Shoot me with that.
[13:53] ---
Eykha...?
[13:55] ---
Just like Kohkaku, you will be scorched
by the dragon's flame, Gakusho.
[14:01] ---
What is she saying...?
[14:04] ---
Hurry!
[14:05] ---
If you kill me, Gakusho will die too.
[14:08] ---
But... But you're...
[14:13] ---
...not my friend!
[14:15] ---
Killing me will determine that.
[14:17] ---
Wait!
[14:19] ---
If she dies, I'll die?
[14:23] ---
Is that how they were able
to defeat the general?
[14:27] ---
Gakusho is aware of General Kohkaku's demise.
[14:31] ---
That will lead her to believe
in the power that Ibuki holds.
[14:36] ---
So, doubt begets doubt.
[14:40] ---
What should I do?
[14:42] ---
Do you seek power, Imperial?
[14:51] ---
No!
[14:52] ---
If my flames are what you desire,
then offer me an equivalent.
[14:57] ---
Ibuki?
[14:59] ---
No...!
[15:00] ---
I don't want to kill anyone!
[15:02] ---
Killing others won't solve anything!
[15:06] ---
He's serious...
[15:08] ---
He seriously thinks he can kill me.
[15:10] ---
Ibuki!
[15:12] ---
There... There has to be a way!
[15:16] ---
Ka Grava?!
[15:18] ---
The overhaul took one
whole month, and now look!
[15:22] ---
He inflated the price of gunpowder...
[15:25] ---
It's my letter of apology to Gakusho.
[15:28] ---
Stop this farce at once.
[15:32] ---
I see!
[15:34] ---
She thinks Ka Grava died...
[15:38] ---
In that case, notifying her that he's alive
may lead me to a different choice!
[15:47] ---
General Gakusho, I beseech you!
[15:50] ---
Please read that letter!
[15:52] ---
That was written by
Ka Grava himself! He's alive!
[15:56] ---
What...?
[15:57] ---
Even if he's some machine,
I shot him in the head...
[16:01] ---
Wait... Could he truly be,
as his name suggests, undead?
[16:05] ---
You know what to do!
[16:07] ---
Please, if you want to
save yourself, listen to me!
[16:11] ---
What now...?
[16:12] ---
If Ka Grava is alive,
there's room to negotiate, but...
[16:17] ---
After she reads the letter, then what...?
[16:19] ---
What's to negotiate...?
[16:21] ---
But if this isn't done, I'm going to
end up killing Eykha and Gakusho...
[16:27] ---
Bring it, now!
[16:29] ---
Y-Yes!
[16:32] ---
The stamp looks authentic...
[16:35] ---
But...
[16:37] ---
I see now... That shrewd bastard!
[16:41] ---
It's no use conducting a war after seeing this!
[16:43] ---
Um, excuse me?
[16:45] ---
Isn't it a letter of apology...?
[16:47] ---
Apology?
[16:50] ---
It's a peace treaty!
[16:52] ---
I've got no complaints with
the conditions written here.
[16:55] ---
Then...!
[17:04] ---
Send word to our forces!
[17:06] ---
Haiga has accepted our demands!
[17:09] ---
Moving forward, we will enter
Haiga as an occupying force!
[17:14] ---
Be forewarned that if there are any rioters,
I'm gonna drill them full of holes!
[17:21] ---
Ka Grava must have set something up...
[17:25] ---
During my sleep...
[17:26] ---
No, during my overhaul, an unfortunate
misunderstanding has occurred,
[17:30] ---
and for that, I would like to apologize.
[17:32] ---
It was definitely not my intention
to dismiss your advancement.
[17:36] ---
The government of Haiga
will stop any further resistance
[17:41] ---
and will regrettably accept abidance
under the rules of Kouran's security.
[17:44] ---
In addition to the costs of being stationed here,
I will provide the expected concessions.
[17:49] ---
I look forward to your
sound and right decision...
[17:52] ---
Stationed...?
[17:54] ---
That's right...
[17:55] ---
I don't mind fighting, but killing
and plundering isn't my thing.
[18:01] ---
I have a personal grudge
against Ka Grava, but...
[18:04] ---
...for now, I'll forget about that.
[18:07] ---
Thank goodness...
[18:09] ---
Well, if you'll excuse us.
[18:11] ---
Just a sec, Ibuki.
[18:13] ---
Huh?
[18:14] ---
At least you're different from
the other spineless savages.
[18:18] ---
Wha--?!
[18:19] ---
Ibuki is going to become king of this island.
[18:22] ---
Looks like you're going to be
one tough king to deal with!
[18:28] ---
Thank you very much.
[18:31] ---
Speaking strictly of results, killing Gakusho
[18:33] ---
or sealing the negotiation by
having her read the letter...
[18:36] ---
Those were the only two choices
you had from the very beginning.
[18:40] ---
The latter choice was very difficult
to achieve based on the situation,
[18:44] ---
but even when you were at a loss,
you held to your ideal to the very end.
[18:50] ---
Ibuki...
[18:52] ---
I will acknowledge you as a person
worthy of imparting my knowledge to.
[18:56] ---
But the result was Haiga
being occupied by Kouran...
[19:01] ---
I'm merely having them stationed
here for security purposes.
[19:05] ---
Besides, Kouran isn't the only one
who will be stationed here.
[19:07] ---
Huh?
[19:09] ---
D'natia's ambassador should arrive shortly.
[19:13] ---
Who is this ambassador?
[19:15] ---
Oh, someone you know very well.
[19:19] ---
Sweallow...?
[19:21] ---
Kouran and D'natia...
[19:23] ---
By bringing them in at the same time,
the balance of powers can be kept...
[19:26] ---
I guess we were all
manipulated by you all along...
[19:31] ---
But this is just a temporary fix.
[19:34] ---
Their forces led me to
surrender Haiga's independence.
[19:38] ---
This is fact.
[19:40] ---
That's about all a petty merchant can do.
[19:43] ---
Now then, can you gather everyone?
[19:45] ---
As promised, I'll talk about Red Dragon.
[19:48] ---
Yes!
[19:52] ---
And I did have a promise with Red Dragon...
[19:57] ---
To help the Imperial that would,
one day, come in search of me.
[20:07] ---
Why didn't you kill me?
[20:10] ---
Is it because I'm not your friend?
[20:12] ---
Or is it because I am your friend?
[20:15] ---
You're... my friend, Ibuki.
[20:20] ---
Th...
[20:23] ---
Thank you...
[20:26] ---
Now then, Red Dragon, was it?
[20:29] ---
I have a message from him.
[20:32] ---
A message from Red Dragon?
[20:34] ---
But before that, we need
to listen to Eykha's story.
[20:38] ---
Me?
[20:39] ---
Yes, about the revolutionary
army's first expedition...
[20:44] ---
...that was destroyed while attempting
to hunt Red Dragon, who went mad.
[20:49] ---
Eykha...
[20:50] ---
That's right... I didn't talk about that.
[20:54] ---
Maybe I wanted to forget about it...
[21:12] ---
Izun was the leader of the first expedition,
and a Bounded One bonded with a Stone Giant.
[21:19] ---
He initially thought he
could persuade Red Dragon.
[21:45] ---
That's Red Dragon...?
[21:51] ---
Act 4
[21:52] ---
Act 4 | Amid Enemies
[23:32] ---
Act 5
[23:32] ---
Act 5: "In a Fog."
[23:35] ---
The undead revived from the abyss stand
in the way of those seeking Red Dragon.
[23:42] ---
Is there no place where
one can gain happiness?!

[00:14] ---
Val!
[00:19] ---
Red Dragon...
[00:21] ---
Everyone believed in you...
[00:23] ---
That you would fight alongside
the revolutionary army.
[00:27] ---
But instead, you're going to kill us?
[00:33] ---
At the core of the first expedition
[00:35] ---
was Izun, a Bounded One bound
to a gargantuan Stone Giant.
[00:39] ---
Our fate was sealed the
moment he fell so easily.
[00:48] ---
Izun!
[00:51] ---
Izun, what are you trying to tell me...?
[00:53] ---
Stop it! Don't die!
[01:12] ---
Red Dragon will not save us...
[01:17] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[01:20] ---
It's a small island country.
[01:22] ---
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[01:27] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[01:30] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[01:33] ---
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
[01:37] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[01:40] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
[01:44] ---
The island's guardian deity,
Red Dragon, suddenly went mad
[01:48] ---
and began indiscriminately
burning villages and killing people.
[01:53] ---
Imperial Era 3015, September...
[01:56] ---
Our country was no longer ours.
[03:31] ---
Nil Kamui | Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
[03:34] ---
Ah, now I know the meaning of this message.
[03:38] ---
Back then, the predecessor of red told me this...
[03:48] ---
Friend...
[03:49] ---
There will come a day when I am greatly
changed from how I have been in the past.
[03:54] ---
No... It will be worse than that.
[03:57] ---
What do you mean?
[03:59] ---
When this comes to pass,
can you visit Ogani Volcano?
[04:04] ---
That volcano will likely be the last place left
where I can maintain my sense of reason.
[04:13] ---
Are you trying to tell me that you'll
leave something at Ogani Volcano?
[04:40] ---
That was Red Dragon's message...?
[04:43] ---
But back then, Red Dragon
showed no sense of reason.
[04:47] ---
I'll let you all decide
whether you believe it or not.
[04:59] ---
Hey, so where's the bath supposed to be?
[05:05] ---
G-Gakusho?!
[05:08] ---
Well, well...
[05:10] ---
Kouran's stationing was agreed on,
so I came right away to take a bath, but...
[05:15] ---
Damn, this place is huge.
[05:18] ---
I'll lead you there.
[05:20] ---
Hurry up and follow me.
[05:22] ---
Oh, a Mixed One? Looking cute there.
[05:26] ---
I'll stab you.
[05:30] ---
Is that the Leader of One-Thousand,
General Gakusho?
[05:37] ---
Kouran sure is diverse...
[05:42] ---
Me, speak with General Gakusho?
[05:45] ---
Yes, in regards to establishing coexistence
between the forces here in Haiga.
[05:49] ---
That is an important subject.
[05:52] ---
But... isn't that your job as ambassador?
[05:55] ---
Ah, well, about that...
[06:00] ---
My Master only recently arrived in Nil Kamui,
so he isn't aware of the situation here.
[06:05] ---
Ah, yeah! That's it!
[06:08] ---
I forgot that this all came
together on Ka Grava's whim.
[06:12] ---
Understood.
[06:16] ---
Do your best, Ulrika!
[06:23] ---
Sir Sweallow Clazzvali.
[06:27] ---
Um, you're...?
[06:31] ---
I am the military force's bishop,
Father Enumael Meschwitz.
[06:36] ---
May I borrow you for a moment?
[06:40] ---
Uh, sure...
[06:47] ---
Damn, this feels great...
[06:51] ---
So, why are you folks in here with me?
[06:54] ---
They said this bath was open during
the morning for the ladies, so...
[06:58] ---
That wasn't what I was asking.
[07:01] ---
Oh, come now, General Gakusho.
[07:04] ---
I do believe I know your "tastes."
[07:07] ---
I would be honored to become
better acquainted with you...
[07:11] ---
Lady Gakusho...
[07:14] ---
Lady Kohkaku promoted me
to my current position!
[07:18] ---
Kohkaku...
[07:21] ---
I heard a rumor that Lady
Kohkaku was finished off
[07:25] ---
by someone from Kouran,
not the revolutionary army.
[07:29] ---
Impossible! That can't be!
[07:31] ---
Lady Kohkaku was planning on exterminating
Red Dragon before the expedition.
[07:37] ---
After what happened, I plan to
carry out her will in her place.
[07:41] ---
My main force will be heading
out to Ogani Volcano tomorrow.
[07:45] ---
Sorry, but that's that.
[07:47] ---
It's not that I want to take a bath!
[07:50] ---
But I was told to bring you in here!
[07:54] ---
Wait! Don't touch my armor!
[07:57] ---
But it'll rust! Right?
[07:59] ---
There!
[08:05] ---
Ah, so you're Ulrika.
[08:08] ---
Um, Leader of One-Thousand, Gakusho...?
[08:10] ---
I asked for an unofficial meeting...
[08:12] ---
Well, thereÕs no better
place than here, is there?
[08:16] ---
But there are others here...
[08:19] ---
You know they're part of
the combined expedition, right?
[08:23] ---
Sir Sweallow's party members?
[08:26] ---
Why, yes, we're quite close.
[08:35] ---
Notification was sent to Kouran and D'natia
[08:37] ---
to withhold all military activity until
the combined expedition finds Red Dragon.
[08:42] ---
Why did you attack Haiga?
[08:44] ---
Because rumor had it that Ka Grava
was backing the revolutionary army.
[08:49] ---
But it was just a misunderstanding.
[08:51] ---
According to our pact, D'natia and Kouran
won't conduct any battles in Haiga.
[08:57] ---
Sounds okay, right?
[08:59] ---
That's it for our unofficial meeting.
[09:03] ---
Please wait.
[09:04] ---
Huh?
[09:06] ---
Moving forward, our countries'
approach in Haiga should...
[09:08] ---
C'mon, I'm not good with politics...
[09:13] ---
Ah... I'm sorry.
[09:15] ---
Well, well, if it isn't the Imperial.
[09:17] ---
Imperial?
[09:19] ---
So, he's part of the expedition?
[09:22] ---
Excuse me. I was looking for Eykha, and...
[09:25] ---
I was close to being
assassinated by this kiddo here.
[09:29] ---
N-Not at all!
[09:31] ---
But, if that power you spoke of
is true, don't ever use it again.
[09:38] ---
Or is there something you want to gain,
even if it means losing everything?
[09:42] ---
I don't know...
[09:44] ---
Honest, aren't you?
[09:49] ---
Gakusho...
[09:51] ---
The hostility she exhibited
earlier is gone now...
[10:00] ---
Sir Sweallow, what are you
going to do with this?
[10:04] ---
A power that can paint everything in black...
[10:08] ---
It's called the "Black Dragon's Scale."
[10:12] ---
It can't be!
[10:13] ---
I heard alchemists created it from
D'natia's source of magic, Black Dragon.
[10:21] ---
Black Dragon...
[10:25] ---
Here in Nil Kamui, the power
of the Black Dragon Knights
[10:28] ---
and Kouran's magic aren't as effective
as they are back in their homelands.
[10:32] ---
You are aware of that, yes?
[10:34] ---
Yeah, I heard about that before.
[10:38] ---
Ever since coming to this island,
I haven't really been in my groove.
[10:41] ---
That's because this land is greatly
affected by Red Dragon's power.
[10:46] ---
But...
[10:48] ---
...with this single scale, the land's magical
property will shift to that of Black Dragon.
[10:55] ---
If used properly, this entire island can be
placed under the power of Black Dragon.
[11:02] ---
But this island's water, crops, and nature itself
are harmonized through Red Dragon's power.
[11:09] ---
If that is forcibly changed, then...
[11:11] ---
That is something a mere attendant
should not worry about.
[11:15] ---
"If it is to defeat Red Dragon,
its use can't be helped."
[11:19] ---
So says our Emperor...
[11:22] ---
So, it's our secret weapon
to defeat Red Dragon?
[11:26] ---
I have faith that you will lead
D'natia to a bright future.
[11:34] ---
Magic | Magic is a systematic art which controls
the world's energy through human will.
[11:41] ---
I'm going to Ogani Volcano.
[11:44] ---
Does that mean you trust my information?
[11:49] ---
Yes.
[11:50] ---
I need to see Red Dragon as soon as possible.
[11:54] ---
I'm sorry...
[11:56] ---
If it's painful to you, Eykha, then...
[11:57] ---
Ibuki, if that's how you feel, then I'll go too.
[12:00] ---
I have no objections at all.
[12:04] ---
If I have to use that scale, then this isn't
something I want to move forward with...
[12:08] ---
Is the good knight from D'natia in opposition?
[12:11] ---
You need to go through the desert
to get to Ogani Volcano, right?
[12:14] ---
Danger is dangerous!
[12:15] ---
Not to worry. We will accompany you to
Fort Rosweisse, situated near the volcano.
[12:20] ---
Ah, uh... Okay...
[12:23] ---
Good for you, gaining yet
another beautiful companion.
[12:27] ---
Meryl...
[12:30] ---
Well then, it's settled.
[12:32] ---
Can I leave the rest to you, Shaddy? Sol?
[12:36] ---
Yes.
[12:37] ---
Will you be accompanying us, Lord Ka Grava?
[12:39] ---
Didn't I say Red Dragon was my friend?
[12:42] ---
I can't turn my back on my friend in need.
[12:44] ---
Besides, don't you folks have needs to cover?
[12:47] ---
Oh!
[12:49] ---
Thank you very much.
[12:50] ---
But due to a certain someone,
we will need plenty of dishware,
[12:54] ---
so my company will prepare it.
[12:57] ---
C'mon, Meryl...
[13:09] ---
Is it okay, leaving General Gakusho behind?
[13:12] ---
She isn't in Haiga anymore.
[13:16] ---
It seems she headed to
Ogani Volcano with her associates.
[13:19] ---
Well, isn't that a coincidence?
[13:21] ---
As you know, I have little awareness
of what the forces are up to.
[13:25] ---
Where's Ibuki?
[13:26] ---
He said something about wanting
to speak with Ka Grava.
[13:29] ---
I see.
[13:30] ---
Ka Grava... Were my father and all the previous
kings granted this power from Red Dragon?
[13:38] ---
Hmm... So, your power lets you take
one's life with the flames of a dragon
[13:44] ---
by offering another one's life to the dragon?
[13:49] ---
The offering must be someone
who is precious to me...
[13:52] ---
It seems to mean the life of a friend...
[13:55] ---
Hmm... I've never heard of such a thing before.
[13:59] ---
Is Red Dragon's lack of sanity the
reason I've been cursed like this?
[14:04] ---
History makes note of a
certain king of the dead.
[14:08] ---
King of the dead?
[14:09] ---
The power that Imperial held allowed him
to raise those he killed as Returned Ones.
[14:17] ---
Returned Ones...!
[14:19] ---
Those who come back from
the dead to assault others?
[14:22] ---
But that's just a legend...
[14:25] ---
I haven't met any Returned Ones before.
[14:27] ---
But legend says that those
killed by the king of the dead
[14:31] ---
will always rise as Returned Ones, forming
a force said to be in the tens of thousands.
[14:35] ---
Is that a power granted by Red Dragon, too?
[14:39] ---
The dragons have the power to
revive as many times as needed
[14:42] ---
and the power to take the lives of others.
[14:44] ---
Killing and reviving... I feel this
is originally the same in power.
[14:50] ---
If they're supposed to be the same,
I'd rather have the power of revival...
[15:04] ---
Hey! This is supposed to be two
days' worth of water for everyone!
[15:08] ---
Sorry...
[15:09] ---
I just wanted to have a
drink with my own hands.
[15:12] ---
Sir Sweallow's "just" is
a matter of life or death.
[15:15] ---
Hm, my Ka Grava Car has a bit of reserve,
but most of the water was loaded there.
[15:22] ---
If that's the case, I'll go on ahead
to look for an oasis around the area.
[15:27] ---
If you'd like, we can just meet up later.
[15:30] ---
Are you okay going by yourself?
[15:31] ---
Yes...
[15:33] ---
Alone...
[15:41] ---
Where are you headed, Lou?
[15:43] ---
I won't let anyone get in the way of
my offering Red Dragon to you, my Lord.
[15:56] ---
Ogani Volcano | isolated village near the base
[15:59] ---
No more...!
[16:00] ---
What's this about?
[16:02] ---
We're not sure what happened, but many
like him have come from the volcano.
[16:09] ---
Returned Ones...
[16:11] ---
They were... Returned Ones...
[16:13] ---
They walked through the lava
as if it was nothing!
[16:18] ---
Returned Ones...?
[16:20] ---
Do they really exist...?
[16:23] ---
Question them and see if we can
get information on Red Dragon.
[16:25] ---
Yes!
[16:44] ---
You...
[16:46] ---
So, that's what you're looking for...
[16:49] ---
Even if you're in debt to Kohkaku,
[16:53] ---
there's no way a clear-headed person like
yourself would willingly hunt Red Dragon.
[16:57] ---
If so, this must be your "reason."
[17:01] ---
Lady Kohkaku's research finally
arrived from our homeland.
[17:06] ---
The Gold Wedge.
[17:10] ---
With that, we're supposed to be able to shift
the land's magic property to that of Kouran.
[17:16] ---
In other words, all magic
besides that of Kouran,
[17:19] ---
such as D'natia's and Nil Kamui's,
will lose its power.
[17:21] ---
Of course, Red Dragon as well...
[17:24] ---
What a frightening item...
[17:27] ---
If you want it, take it.
[17:29] ---
Well then, I will.
[17:31] ---
Wait.
[17:32] ---
That alone won't do any good.
[17:34] ---
Take this...!
[17:37] ---
Just as rumored, I see you have no hesitation
in assassinating even allies, Lou Chun Wah!
[17:42] ---
I have no idea what you had planned, but you've
made a mistake in killing my subordinate!
[17:54] ---
That sword...
[17:56] ---
Beautiful...
[17:58] ---
Hand it over...!
[17:59] ---
You have that rifle of yours.
[18:03] ---
I don't want this...!
[18:05] ---
That sword is mine...!
[18:14] ---
It seems she had a counter skill ready.
[18:18] ---
She diverted my strike by a bit.
[18:20] ---
One more strike should finish her off!
[18:22] ---
Let's not do this, Lou...
[18:24] ---
She won't make it anyways.
[18:26] ---
Leave her paltry soul... I'd rather you not
let that female Black Dragon Knight get away.
[18:31] ---
Black Dragon... Meaning Ulrika?
[18:33] ---
Yes, I'm sure her soul is quite wonderful...
[18:46] ---
Lady Gakusho!
[18:47] ---
Lady Gakusho...!
[18:48] ---
Hurry and get the medics!
[18:52] ---
What...? What are you trying to say?!
[19:00] ---
The next day...
[19:00] ---
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse desert outskirts
[19:02] ---
A little farther until Fort Rosweisse.
[19:04] ---
That means Ogani Volcano is close, too!
[19:07] ---
Ah...
[19:08] ---
I'm sorry for that, everyone.
[19:10] ---
I guess I'll have you feed me after all, Meryl.
[19:16] ---
It seems like whatever tool
Sir Sweallow uses always breaks.
[19:20] ---
It can't be...
[19:21] ---
It's like a curse that I've had since I was a kid.
[19:25] ---
I'm used to it by now.
[19:27] ---
Since childhood?
[19:28] ---
If it's a curse, don't you want to get rid of it?
[19:33] ---
Well... In all honesty, I'd like to get
rid of it, no matter what it takes.
[19:39] ---
Could it be that you think your
power is a curse, too, Ibuki?
[19:42] ---
Ah, yes...
[19:44] ---
That's why if there's a way to get rid--
[19:46] ---
You can't be serious about letting
such a wonderful power go to waste!
[19:49] ---
Hey, now hold on there!
[19:51] ---
Speaking of, we haven't heard anything about
Ibuki's power, but do you know something, Lou?
[19:58] ---
How about you, Eykha?
[19:59] ---
Excuse me.
[20:01] ---
We decided to hurry ahead to Fort Rosweisse.
[20:04] ---
I will leave my guards with you.
[20:06] ---
That's fine, but did something happen?
[20:09] ---
The Returned Ones...
[20:12] ---
Villagers nearby escaped to the fort.
[20:16] ---
They claimed that
Returned Ones had appeared.
[20:18] ---
You mean this island's
legend of the dead rising?
[20:22] ---
Yes... I do believe it is a mistake, but...
[20:25] ---
...I still need to investigate.
[20:27] ---
Now, then.
[20:44] ---
Stop it!
[20:46] ---
I said stop!
[20:56] ---
Could they be the Returned Ones...?!
[21:10] ---
No!
[21:11] ---
Ibuki! Sir Sweallow!
[21:22] ---
Gakusho...?
[21:32] ---
It can't be...
[21:35] ---
She's a Returned One...?!
[21:50] ---

[00:11] ---
Ibuki!
[00:15] ---
Why didn't you call me earlier?
[00:17] ---
Wait, Eykha!
[00:19] ---
That's Gakusho!
[00:23] ---
Eykha!
[00:25] ---
Val, again!
[00:34] ---
Is she really dead?
[00:48] ---
Are you certain this was Gakusho's unit?
[00:52] ---
It seems they were headed to Ogani Volcano.
[00:55] ---
What happened...?
[00:57] ---
Subleader!
[00:58] ---
We found one of the villagers.
[01:00] ---
A Returned One... did all this...
[01:03] ---
Many villagers escaped to our fort saying
that they were attacked by Returned Ones.
[01:09] ---
That's why we came to investigate.
[01:11] ---
Please tell me... Did the Returned Ones
really appear in your village?
[01:16] ---
It's not only our village...
[01:17] ---
What?
[01:18] ---
Kouran's general was killed...
[01:21] ---
She took a hit to the neck...
[01:23] ---
General...?
[01:24] ---
Could it be...? Lady Gakusho?
[01:27] ---
Then she revived...
[01:29] ---
As a Returned One?
[01:31] ---
The general killed everyone,
and then they all revived too!
[01:36] ---
It's exactly like what happened in my village!
[01:38] ---
I've never heard of any instance
[01:40] ---
where those killed by a
Returned One became Returned Ones.
[01:43] ---
So, where could Lady Gakusho
and her unit of Returned Ones be?
[01:50] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[01:52] ---
It's a small island country.
[01:54] ---
The covetous, great ancient country
of Kouran conducted a sudden invasion
[01:59] ---
and plundered a third of the land.
[02:02] ---
Our ally, the great country to the east, D'natia,
[02:05] ---
defended settlements where they
had their bases, then kept silent.
[02:09] ---
The two great countries quickly
carved away Nil Kamui's lands
[02:12] ---
like meat from a sacrificial swine.
[02:16] ---
The guardian deity,
Red Dragon, attacked the people,
[02:19] ---
and the Returned Ones
of legend began to appear.
[02:23] ---
Imperial Era 3015, September...
[02:26] ---
Our country was no longer ours.
[04:09] ---
You all right?!
[04:15] ---
Is that the Kouran general?
[04:17] ---
What happened?!
[04:29] ---
Are you okay, Ibuki?
[04:59] ---
Hm, even if they are undead,
destroying their brain seems to stop them.
[05:05] ---
Pretty good, aren't you?
[05:29] ---
Everyone, I recommend we retreat for now.
[05:35] ---
Gakusho!<br>[05:36] ---
Ibuki!
[05:39] ---
Ibuki, it seems you took a liking to Gakusho,
despite getting to know her only recently.
[05:46] ---
She... taught me the true meaning of resolve!
[05:50] ---
But look at her.
[05:52] ---
She's a Returned One now.
[05:55] ---
There are no instances within legend of any
Returned Ones regaining their former selves.
[06:02] ---
That means that the only thing we can do
for her now is to make her rest in peace.
[06:08] ---
Don't worry, I'll do it.
[06:13] ---
We can't just defeat her and leave it at that!
[06:29] ---
I do recall this flavor...
[06:33] ---
It's similar to that of a dragon.
[06:36] ---
So, the Returned Ones and Red Dragon...
[06:39] ---
...are probably connected.
[06:41] ---
Don't worry, Lou.
[06:43] ---
Returned Ones wounded
by me will never revive.
[06:47] ---
After all, whatever residual souls
remain of them are contained within me.
[06:51] ---
Yes, my lord...
[06:53] ---
That wound on her neck proves
that Gakusho was killed by someone.
[06:58] ---
Killed...? But why?
[07:00] ---
Not "why," but "Who was able to kill
someone so skilled as Gakusho?"
[07:08] ---
Red Dragon...
[07:11] ---
Answer me...!
[07:15] ---
Gakusho was someone precious to me...
[07:19] ---
Someone who could have become my friend.
[07:21] ---
Thus, she can be taken as an offering.
[07:25] ---
Indeed.
[07:26] ---
Do you seek power, Imperial?
[07:29] ---
I want to use your dragon flame to
incinerate the person who killed Gakusho!
[07:34] ---
Are you going to kill Gakusho again
to kill the person who killed her?!
[07:40] ---
This is the only thing I can do now...!
[07:43] ---
Oh...? Quite an interesting
idea he came up with.
[07:48] ---
Is the dragon's power that versatile?
[07:52] ---
The Returned Ones are
connected to Red Dragon.
[07:55] ---
In that case, I wager that Red Dragon knows
that you were the one who killed Gakusho.
[08:02] ---
I don't mind taking on that wager,
[08:07] ---
but I would lose the means to please
my lord if I were incinerated.
[08:15] ---
My flames will reach any,
no matter where they are.
[08:19] ---
Understood. Accept the equivalence!
[08:25] ---
At this distance, I can kill him
using my Bai Bu Quan.
[08:29] ---
There's no telling what
could happen, after all...
[08:33] ---
How unfortunate, Child of Contract...
[08:38] ---
Lady Ulrika.
[08:40] ---
Report on the expedition.
[08:42] ---
It seems as if one of them,
the Kouran female...
[08:45] ---
...is targeting the expedition members,
in an attempt to kill...
[08:48] ---
Members...?!
What is going on?! Answer me!
[08:54] ---
Looks like you were too focused
to sense his presence.
[09:27] ---
I am sorry to have arrived so late, my lord.
[09:30] ---
Hien...?
[09:34] ---
Yes, it is I, Hien.
[09:36] ---
Agito has ordered me to guard you again.
[09:41] ---
Gakusho...
[09:42] ---
How dare she try to take our Child of
Contract's life using the truce as a cover?
[09:51] ---
You idiot!
[09:52] ---
Wh-What are you saying?
[09:55] ---
Gakusho...
[09:57] ---
Gakusho was...
[09:59] ---
...a friend.
[10:01] ---
Nonsense!
[10:03] ---
Please stand up, Lord Ibuki.
[10:05] ---
Our citizens would misunderstand if they
saw you kneeling with your head down
[10:08] ---
over the corpse of one from Kouran.
[10:10] ---
Hien, you can't be friends with Ibuki.
[10:14] ---
Friends?
[10:16] ---
I'm merely a loyal subject
of the Child of Contract.
[10:22] ---
Returned One | Legendary beasts of mythology
that were said to have laid waste to Nil Kamui.
[10:28] ---
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse
[10:31] ---
Excuse me for calling you all here.
[10:34] ---
Sorry, but the fort houses
a lot of military secrets,
[10:39] ---
so we can't let the revolutionary
army or Kouran see its insides.
[10:43] ---
Why, of course.
[10:47] ---
Lady Lou Chun Wah?
[10:49] ---
Yes?
[10:50] ---
By any chance, did you meet
one of my subordinates?
[10:53] ---
One of them is currently missing.
[10:56] ---
I heard there is an item used in
D'natia that allows communication
[10:59] ---
with someone from afar, similar to
Kouran's communication seal...
[11:03] ---
He didn't respond...
[11:05] ---
That must be quite troubling...
[11:07] ---
Unfortunately, I don't know anything.
[11:14] ---
Gakusho and her unit weren't
the only Returned Ones?
[11:18] ---
There were many villages scattered
around the foot of Ogani Volcano.
[11:22] ---
They were attacked by Returned Ones,
[11:24] ---
and those attacked in turn
became Returned Ones themselves.
[11:27] ---
In the first place, where did
the Returned Ones appear from?
[11:31] ---
According to the villagers,
[11:33] ---
the first Returned Ones to appear
wore the revolutionary army's attires.
[11:39] ---
Are you trying to place blame on us?
[11:41] ---
Wait.
[11:43] ---
Were they from the first expedition...?
[11:46] ---
Yes. I heard that a unit
from the revolutionary army
[11:49] ---
headed to Ogani Volcano about a month ago.
[11:54] ---
Everyone rose as Returned Ones...?
[12:04] ---
What's this about, Ka Grava?
[12:06] ---
If that's true, that means the Returned Ones
are those who were killed by Red Dragon.
[12:12] ---
So you think my friend's message about leaving
something at Ogani Volcano is questionable?
[12:18] ---
Even so, we have to go to Ogani Volcano...
[12:21] ---
One moment. I must inform you
[12:24] ---
that the Black Dragon Knights' third
corps leader, Simeon, is headed this way.
[12:28] ---
Simeon...?!
[12:30] ---
Oh?
[12:31] ---
So, that...
[12:33] ---
Uh, who is that again?
[12:35] ---
He's the leader of the Black Dragon
Knights who were sent to this island.
[12:39] ---
He's third in rank among
the Black Dragon Knights.
[12:41] ---
Ah, and what was my rank again?
[12:44] ---
Why, the lowest of them all, of course.
[12:47] ---
You're ranked thirtieth.
[12:50] ---
No matter what happens, our leader
Simeon can make things right.
[12:54] ---
That's some faith you have in him.
[12:56] ---
Yes. So please leave the rest to us.
[13:05] ---
Are you still going to go to Ogani Volcano?
[13:08] ---
I'm sorry, but I don't want to see
any more people become like Gakusho.
[13:15] ---
Well then, at least let my unit accompany you.
[13:19] ---
Ulrika...
[13:20] ---
I believe I was sent to
protect this island's order.
[13:25] ---
I can't turn my head away from
the suffering of its citizens.
[13:28] ---
Lord Ibuki.
[13:36] ---
I know of your power, Lord Ibuki.
[13:39] ---
Hien...
[13:40] ---
Please kill me near Simeon!
[13:44] ---
Are you telling me to incinerate
Simeon with the dragon's power?
[13:47] ---
That flame will become a beacon to spread
the revolution throughout the land!
[13:51] ---
All in the name of ousting D'natia and Kouran!
[13:56] ---
I won't kill you or Simeon.
[14:00] ---
Also, Hien... You and everyone else
are getting this all wrong.
[14:06] ---
No matter what I do to you,
nothing will happen.
[14:10] ---
Lord Ibuki, you can offer the
citizens of Nil Kamui to Red Dragon
[14:15] ---
to gain the dragon's power.
[14:17] ---
That's not it, Hien.
[14:19] ---
Lord Ibuki, you are too kind.
[14:23] ---
A part of me died when I lost my family--
my young sister--during the Seven Year War.
[14:31] ---
No one will be saddened by my death.
[14:34] ---
Having my life taken by the Child of Contract
is the one and only happiness left to me.
[14:39] ---
Please, use my life as you see fit!
[14:42] ---
That's not the issue...!
[14:44] ---
Ibuki? Hien?
[14:46] ---
It looks like they're ready.
[14:47] ---
Okay...
[14:51] ---
Stop with your discourtesy, Kouran!
[14:54] ---
Oh?
[14:55] ---
In every respect, Lord Ibuki
is the successor to the throne.
[14:58] ---
I ask that you treat him as such!
[15:00] ---
How rude of me.
[15:03] ---
"Lord" Ibuki... was it?
[15:07] ---
Ogani Volcano | Mountain path
[15:15] ---
Lord Ibuki.
[15:17] ---
Did Hien tell you to call me that?
[15:20] ---
Please stop.
[15:21] ---
Really? How about we take the middle
ground and call you "Sir Ibuki"?
[15:28] ---
Meryl told me you said that if you killed
Gakusho, you could incinerate the culprit.
[15:34] ---
Not me, but Red Dragon.
[15:36] ---
So then in exchange for someone's life,
you can gain the dragon's power to--
[15:40] ---
Why don't we drop the
subject already, Sir Sweallow?
[15:44] ---
You knew, didn't you, Lou?
[15:46] ---
Why, of course not.
[15:48] ---
Such a frightening thought...
[15:49] ---
I see...
[15:51] ---
I think I know why you called it a curse.
[15:53] ---
You mind if I ask you something?
[15:56] ---
Do you really want to get rid of that power?
[15:59] ---
But you're going to become
Nil Kamui's king, right?
[16:03] ---
If so, that power may be
something you need as king.
[16:07] ---
A friend of mine died trusting in me...
[16:11] ---
That's why I want to become king,
so that I can put an end to sorrow.
[16:15] ---
But...
[16:17] ---
I don't know what I need to do...
[16:19] ---
I see.
[16:21] ---
In any case, I'm for the idea of
getting rid of that power of yours.
[16:25] ---
Why, yes... After all, that power
is a major threat to D'natia.
[16:30] ---
Is that how you see it?
[16:37] ---
There was a village here, but...
[16:40] ---
The place is just a pool of lava now.
[16:47] ---
Look...!
[16:48] ---
No matter how you take this...
[16:52] ---
...it sure doesn't look like they're
survivors waiting to be rescued.
[16:56] ---
Men, forward!
[16:58] ---
Hey now, what are you planning to do, Hien?
[17:02] ---
We will handle the Returned Ones.
[17:04] ---
Leave us be!
[17:05] ---
What are you saying?!
[17:07] ---
It seems like most of them
were from the revolutionary army.
[17:11] ---
We will deliver our friends by our own hands.
[17:14] ---
Hien!
[17:15] ---
Please move on ahead, Child of Contract!
[17:18] ---
And please pray for their
calm and eternal slumber.
[17:25] ---
Rest in peace, friends!
[17:37] ---
Well then, let's graciously accept his offer.
[17:41] ---
After all, we are supposed to be
an expedition for Red Dragon.
[17:54] ---
It is Izun...
[17:57] ---
Izun?
[17:59] ---
Izun is in there?
[18:04] ---
Now then, everyone, what should we do?
[18:07] ---
We do have the option of leaving this place
[18:09] ---
and letting Leader Simeon
take care of the rest.
[18:12] ---
Sir Sweallow...
[18:14] ---
Oh, come on, we're not going to stand
a chance against that huge thing!
[18:19] ---
I agree with you this time.
[18:22] ---
We can't take any risks that
could jeopardize Ibuki or Eykha.
[18:26] ---
Right?
[18:27] ---
I'm staying behind.
[18:29] ---
Eykha...
[18:30] ---
Izun would probably want me to kill him.
[18:34] ---
Besides, look over there.
[18:37] ---
That's...?
[18:38] ---
I believe it's Red Dragon's claw.
[18:41] ---
Izun fought Red Dragon by himself to save us.
[18:46] ---
So that must have lodged itself there then.
[18:48] ---
I see... So my friend left behind...
[18:52] ---
Oh, it looks like that claw is still alive.
[18:56] ---
By that, you mean...?
[18:57] ---
There is way more life energy
[18:59] ---
contained in Red Dragon's claw and
that giant than in any normal person.
[19:04] ---
This is a first for me as well.
[19:07] ---
So then...?
[19:08] ---
Feed me...!
[19:10] ---
As you wish.
[19:12] ---
Let's attack it from both sides.
[19:15] ---
I can cross the lava to the other side.
[19:18] ---
I will attack from behind.
[19:20] ---
We'll go from the front.
[19:22] ---
Before we strike...
[19:24] ---
...please let me confirm whether
or not Izun has really lost his sanity.
[19:29] ---
Ibuki...
[19:30] ---
It's possible that he still has his sanity
despite becoming a Returned One.
[19:37] ---
Got it.
[19:39] ---
Lou...
[19:40] ---
Sweallow...
[19:42] ---
Please help!
[19:44] ---
Well, I'll just try to stop it, then.
[19:51] ---
Is stopping it your only plan?
[19:53] ---
If I can move to a dead angle,
I can hide you from their sight, my lord.
[19:57] ---
Ah, I see...
[19:58] ---
I suppose you're serious about feeding me.
[20:10] ---
Meryl, hand it over...
[20:13] ---
I believe you may have forgotten,
so I'll say it once more.
[20:17] ---
This will disrupt the order of this island--
[20:27] ---
Ahem...
[20:28] ---
Well then, let us both head in from the front.
[20:32] ---
No, Lady Ulrika.
[20:34] ---
I'd like to ask you to take care of Meryl.
[20:36] ---
Please watch us from behind.
[20:39] ---
It's not that I'm underestimating
a newcomer such as yourself, but...
[20:42] ---
I know you're strong.
[20:44] ---
That's why I'd like you to stay behind.
[20:47] ---
And when we reach our limit, I'd like you
to at least have those children escape.
[20:55] ---
In the end, Sir Sweallow isn't attached to me.
[20:59] ---
To him, what needs to
be protected is the future.
[21:03] ---
Are you saying you're willing to offer
your life for the expedition's mission?
[21:09] ---
You know, it was the first time
someone asked me for help.
[21:16] ---
Keep one thing in mind.
[21:17] ---
Do not place trust in that nun, Lou.
[21:22] ---
Don't worry. I'm used to
being tricked by females.
[21:28] ---
Quite a fine master you have there.
[21:31] ---
He's... just a good-for-nothing.

[00:32] ---
I thought I told you not to come in here!
[00:35] ---
Do you want that to happen to you?!
[00:39] ---
He's my child.
[00:42] ---
I will raise him by my own hand.
[01:02] ---
It's only natural that my parents feared
the unfortunate curse I had from birth
[01:09] ---
of breaking the tools I used.
[01:24] ---
All the books I enjoyed
crumbled as I read them.
[01:28] ---
And I hardly ever touched anyone.
[01:31] ---
I wonder what would have happened
if I'd handled someone like a tool.
[01:40] ---
Once counted among the richest in D'natia,
my family was headed to ruin before I knew it.
[01:53] ---
Shark.
[02:04] ---
I won't touch you, I promise.
[02:16] ---
When I lost my close friend,
that's when I finally understood...
[02:21] ---
Tools can be broken, and lives lost,
even if I don't come in contact with them.
[02:27] ---
That was what I took as truth in this world.
[02:37] ---
I heard rumors of the Clazzvali Family's fall.
[02:51] ---
His suffering should end on this island.
[02:55] ---
Are you referring to his
contract with Black Dragon?
[02:58] ---
So long as his bad habit doesn't surface...
[03:00] ---
Bad habit?
[03:03] ---
The name of this island is Nil Kamui.
[03:06] ---
The land where the great
and ancient country Kouran
[03:08] ---
and our homeland, D'natia,
are in conflict for supremacy.
[03:13] ---
Empire Era 285, September...
[03:17] ---
The great ancient country, Kouran...
[03:20] ---
...our country, D'natia...
[03:23] ---
...and the revolutionary army
representing Nil Kamui
[03:26] ---
came together to form
the Red Dragon expedition,
[03:29] ---
whose ranks I joined.
[03:33] ---
All so that I can part ways with my absurd fate.
[05:08] ---
Ogani Volcano
[05:13] ---
It's me! You remember me, don't you?!
[05:43] ---
Hien...
[05:45] ---
The Child of Contract...
[05:48] ---
Get a hold of yourself!
[05:49] ---
You're a mighty warrior of the Hyakki Force!
[06:00] ---
He's a Returned One now...
[06:04] ---
I will sacrifice anything in the
name of the one to become king.
[06:13] ---
Wait for me...
[06:24] ---
Let's hit it four times, shall we?
[06:29] ---
P? Shn!
[06:39] ---
What nectar, Lou!
[06:41] ---
Never before have I savored
such a soul as that.
[06:47] ---
That is quite pleasing to hear.
[06:51] ---
Izun...
[06:54] ---
Izun, can you hear me?!
[06:56] ---
I'm one of the Imperials, Ibuki!
[07:02] ---
Ibuki!
[07:16] ---
Are you really Izun...?
[07:31] ---
There...!
[07:33] ---
How's that?
[07:36] ---
What are you trying to do here?
[07:38] ---
Ibuki...
[07:40] ---
Uh, Sir Ibuki, was it?
[07:42] ---
I'm trying to buy him time so that
he can try to talk sense into him.
[07:45] ---
Once a person becomes a Returned One,
they will never regain their sanity.
[07:50] ---
So it is with Izun.
[07:53] ---
Um, what are you planning to do?
[07:57] ---
I will offer my life to
bring down the Stone Giant.
[08:02] ---
I don't think he'll comply with your wish...
[08:15] ---
I don't need to borrow
my lord's power for this!
[08:20] ---
Fng ZhÎn!
[08:32] ---
So that's the power of a Black Dragon Knight...
[08:52] ---
Ibuki!
[09:02] ---
Those kids still have room to grow.
[09:06] ---
They need to be protected by someone
until their time to break arrives.
[09:31] ---
Dragon | The dragons are the
primordial beings of this world.
[09:38] ---
What is this...?
[09:40] ---
My lord?
[10:05] ---
Lady Meryl...?
[10:08] ---
It was back when he was ten years old...
[10:12] ---
He insisted on a Mixed One as a slave.
[10:19] ---
Supposedly, Bounded Ones
and Mixed Ones didn't age...
[10:23] ---
...so they wouldn't break.
[10:25] ---
Or at least that's what he thought.
[10:30] ---
That Mixed One wasn't brought in as a slave,
but was instead adopted by a steward.
[10:42] ---
Years later, she was involved in a kidnapping,
which left her on the verge of death...
[10:53] ---
I see.
[10:57] ---
So, that peculiar phenomenon
of yours drew me here.
[11:03] ---
Do you wish to save her?
[11:06] ---
Yes!
[11:09] ---
If so, then I will shift her wounds onto you.
[11:21] ---
All things go to ruin without exception.
[11:24] ---
He knows that very well, and yet...
[11:30] ---
Such a bad habit...
[11:34] ---
Val!
[11:54] ---
Izun!
[12:19] ---
I'll absorb all that it has!
[12:38] ---
It's still full of life!
[12:41] ---
I'm truly sorry!
[12:42] ---
I will protect you, my lord!
[12:49] ---
Lou!
[12:56] ---
Izun...
[12:58] ---
I'll kill you...
[13:01] ---
I'll follow you shortly after.
[13:06] ---
If she keeps that up, Eykha will kill Izun...
[13:10] ---
Killing a friend...
[13:13] ---
No one else...
[13:16] ---
...needs to go through that!
[13:19] ---
Ibuki!
[13:22] ---
Hien!
[13:25] ---
He turned into a Returned One?!
[13:33] ---
Hien...
[13:35] ---
You too...?
[13:47] ---
Please kill me...
[13:50] ---
I'm sorry...
[13:52] ---
I'll offer you as a sacrifice to Red Dragon!
[14:03] ---
Hurry...
[14:04] ---
Red Dragon's power...
[14:07] ---
Hien...!
[14:08] ---
His sanity...
[14:09] ---
No, he wasn't a Returned One
in the first place?!
[14:13] ---
No...!
[14:14] ---
Then, those eyes were...?!
[14:21] ---
If I wasn't a Returned One...
[14:24] ---
...you would not have used my life, Lord Ibuki...
[14:31] ---
You are a kind person, after all...
[14:36] ---
What of Red Dragon...?
[14:40] ---
Hurry, the Stone Giant must be...
[14:46] ---
Red Dragon, the offering has been made.
[14:49] ---
Lend me your flames!
[14:54] ---
Finally, you will use... my life to...
[15:02] ---
Red Dragon! Your power!
[15:04] ---
Lend me your power!
[15:06] ---
Hien!
[15:07] ---
I offered Hien's life...!
I offered it to you just now!
[15:11] ---
Answer me!
[15:13] ---
Please answer me!
[15:19] ---
Ibuki, we need to get out of here!
[15:23] ---
Why...?
[15:25] ---
The Dragon Eye isn't shining...
[15:28] ---
That means...
[15:29] ---
...Hien's life isn't considered
to be an equivalent exchange.
[15:34] ---
I suppose that's the line of reasoning.
[15:37] ---
But...
[15:39] ---
I was told to offer those precious to me...
[15:46] ---
S-Sweallow...?
[15:49] ---
Don't worry... I've got something I need to do.
[15:54] ---
I knew Hien wasn't a Returned One...
[16:00] ---
None of the other
Returned Ones were moving at all.
[16:04] ---
But there was no way I could tell them
about the Black Dragon's Scale...
[16:09] ---
Because of that, Hien...
[16:13] ---
All of this is my sin to bear...
[16:17] ---
Months ago
D'natia | Clazzvali Family manor
[16:25] ---
Please don't touch.
[16:27] ---
At least let me get some tea.
[16:29] ---
No.
[16:30] ---
This mansion and all its belongings are
under seizure by the Sherbet Company.
[16:37] ---
I really appreciate it, my dear creditor.
[16:40] ---
You're about the only one to support
the bankrupt Clazzvali Family.
[16:46] ---
By the way, it's about time, Sir Sweallow.
[16:50] ---
Do I really have to go?
[16:56] ---
Oh, all right, I'll go...
[17:00] ---
Hours later...
D'natia | Shrine of the Black Dragon
[17:31] ---
I see.
[17:34] ---
I suppose it can be called
a curse of destruction.
[17:39] ---
It's exactly how you saw it, Black Dragon.
[17:42] ---
Do you wish to remove that curse?
[17:45] ---
If possible.
[17:47] ---
As you can tell, it's just absurd living with this.
[17:52] ---
You are aware that one of the Seven Dragons,
Red Dragon, resides in Nil Kamui, yes?
[17:59] ---
That one, Red Dragon, has gone mad.
[18:03] ---
I want you to join the combined
expedition among the three countries...
[18:07] ---
...and exterminate Red Dragon
with your very own hands.
[18:13] ---
Is that the condition placed
on the removal of my curse?
[18:16] ---
The scar placed upon you shall
again seal your contract with me.
[18:33] ---
This scar saved Meryl...
[18:38] ---
I have nothing else to say.
[18:40] ---
I appoint you, Sweallow Clazzvali,
to the Black Dragon Knights.
[19:00] ---
Contract seal, release!
[19:02] ---
I bring the tyranny of Black Dragon!
[19:13] ---
This power is supposed to be saved
for finishing off Red Dragon...
[19:19] ---
But this is my sin too...
[19:22] ---
Black Blade...
[19:27] ---
My contract and your curse are connected.
[19:32] ---
When differing powers of humans
and dragons come together as one...
[19:41] ---
Izun...!
[19:56] ---
I know of the Black Blade which
the Black Dragon Knights use,
[20:00] ---
but that is not quite the same...
[20:03] ---
I can't believe how graciously
he uses his swords to ruin...
[20:08] ---
I wonder how he would use me.
[20:11] ---
My lord...
[20:12] ---
My greatest joy is to offer all of the living
blood flowing within me to you, my lord...
[20:27] ---
Ibuki, are you okay?
[20:31] ---
I... couldn't kill Izun.
[20:35] ---
Ibuki?
[20:39] ---
I...
[20:41] ---
Hien...
[20:47] ---
It seems as if this is the clue that
my friend Red Dragon has left behind.
[20:52] ---
I suppose it's only fair that the
rights to it belong to Sweallow.
[20:59] ---
I recall an ancient legend saying
that only dragons can kill dragons.
[21:05] ---
Hello...
[21:08] ---
Excuse me, but it seems something
odd is happening in Haiga.
[21:12] ---
Haiga, you say?
[21:15] ---
Ah, um... Hello, Shaddy?
[21:18] ---
Ah, Lord Ka Grava!
D'natia's bishop is in the city, and...!
[21:23] ---
Why don't you send an image to me?
[21:26] ---
Ah, yes!
[21:28] ---
Behold, citizens of Nil Kamui!
[21:31] ---
The one you see here is the
true Imperial of Nil Kamui!
[21:35] ---
The one to become queen!
[21:37] ---
Lady Inori!
[21:41] ---
Inori?!
[21:42] ---
Do you know her?
[21:46] ---
She's...
[21:48] ---
...my younger sister.

[00:07] ---
Two years ago...
Nil Kamui | Shuka outskirts
[00:12] ---
I'm sorry, but this is all I have right now.
[00:15] ---
Thank you...
[00:18] ---
But I can't repay you.
[00:23] ---
Eykha, you're strong, right?
[00:26] ---
If so, please join me in protecting my friend.
[00:30] ---
Me...? Protect...?
[00:37] ---
I don't think I can protect Ibuki by myself.
[00:46] ---
Fine, it's a promise.
[00:49] ---
Thank you, Eykha...
[00:51] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[00:54] ---
It's a small island country.
[00:56] ---
Three years have passed since this country
fell to the great country Kouran.
[01:01] ---
Our ally, D'natia, kept its distance,
and our guardian deity, Red Dragon, went mad.
[01:07] ---
I lost everything in this war,
called the Seven Year War...
[01:12] ---
Our castle that ruled over the country,
my parents, and my sister Inori...
[01:18] ---
Imperial Era 3015, October...
[01:21] ---
We still can't regain control of Nil Kamui.
[02:59] ---
Didn't all your family members die, Ibuki?
[03:02] ---
I was the only survivor when the castle fell.
[03:07] ---
Or that's what I thought...
[03:10] ---
In any case, you'll need to meet her firsthand.
[03:14] ---
Lou!
[03:17] ---
I am a member of the expedition.
[03:19] ---
I won't die because of this...
[03:22] ---
We need to get you treated, now!
[03:26] ---
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse
[03:39] ---
Ogani Volcano erupted?!
[03:41] ---
But there were no signs of activity
during the investigation...
[03:44] ---
This isn't good... If this keeps up,
the fort is going to be in danger.
[03:49] ---
Open the gate!
[03:59] ---
Um, that's...?
[04:01] ---
You can't be serious?
[04:03] ---
That's the leader of the
third corps, Lord Simeon.
[04:05] ---
O-Of course I remember!
I'm confident in my memory...
[04:18] ---
Contract seal, release!
[04:47] ---
He averted the lava flow!
[04:49] ---
Lord Simeon is a powerful one indeed.
[04:52] ---
Unbelievable...
[04:57] ---
The power granted by Black Dragon should
be more than halved here on this island...
[05:16] ---
Haiga | Main gate area
[05:20] ---
Dear Brother!
[05:23] ---
Thank goodness!
[05:25] ---
I-Inori...?
[05:29] ---
I missed you!
[05:31] ---
Well, now, I don't do well in these situations.
[05:34] ---
I know that...
[05:35] ---
Meryl, are you crying?
[05:38] ---
No, I'm not!
[05:39] ---
It's really you, Inori...
[05:42] ---
Why, yes...!
[05:44] ---
That's right, dear Brother!
I wanted to present someone to you.
[05:55] ---
Ibuki...
[05:59] ---
Mashiro...?
[06:01] ---
I met her at Shuka.
[06:03] ---
I wanted to bring her to you as
soon as possible, dear Brother.
[06:09] ---
Wasn't she...?
[06:15] ---
Mashiro?
[06:20] ---
Mashiro?!
[06:22] ---
Mashiro...
[06:26] ---
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
[06:29] ---
Mashiro died.
[06:31] ---
I also heard that Inori died.
[06:34] ---
But Lady Inori was alive.
[06:38] ---
By order of Agito, I was the one
who brought Lady Inori here.
[06:41] ---
So, Agito was sheltering her all along?
[06:46] ---
They're still inside!
[06:48] ---
Your father and family are already...!
[06:50] ---
Kouran's army is closing in!
[06:52] ---
Now hurry!
[06:54] ---
But...!
[06:56] ---
Agito!
[06:58] ---
I'll save Lady Inori...!
[07:07] ---
After some time had passed,
I went to Shuka's prison...
[07:11] ---
It can't be... Lady Inori?
[07:14] ---
Kouran would be spurred to action if
they found out both Imperials were alive.
[07:20] ---
I needed to hide her until the time was ripe.
[07:24] ---
Kouran is in a state of confusion
with the loss of General Kohkaku.
[07:27] ---
Now is the time to act.
[07:29] ---
I wasn't aware at all.
[07:32] ---
Let's fight together from now on.
[07:35] ---
We will make Inori our king,
and free this island.
[07:38] ---
If that happens, then what of Ibuki...?
[07:40] ---
It was heart-wrenching deceiving you all.
[07:44] ---
But this is all for the sake
of regaining our country.
[07:50] ---
I didn't know that...
[07:52] ---
Agito put that much thought into this?
[07:55] ---
Lady Inori would like to
meet you again at the embassy.
[07:59] ---
Okay, I'll meet with her.
[08:01] ---
Wait.
[08:02] ---
What about Mashiro?
[08:03] ---
Ibuki, didn't you kill her?
[08:07] ---
Right...
[08:08] ---
I killed her...
[08:10] ---
But...
[08:12] ---
I was only told of Lady Inori's survival.
[08:17] ---
You should speak with Mashiro.
[08:20] ---
By the way, where's Hien?
[08:23] ---
He died for me...
[08:27] ---
I see. I'm sure he went honorably...
[08:32] ---
Haiga | D'natia embassy
[08:33] ---
Amazing...
[08:35] ---
Ka Grava really built an embassy for us.
[08:38] ---
It doesn't matter, since it will be in shambles
after you use it for a month, Sir Sweallow.
[08:43] ---
Did you call for me, Your Excellency?
[08:50] ---
So, Bishop Enumael...
That girl, Inori... Who is she, really?
[08:55] ---
She is the true Child of Contract,
and the true ruler of Nil Kamui.
[09:00] ---
Our country will protect Lady Inori and help
her regain the dynasty she so truly deserves.
[09:06] ---
In other words, it's going to be
ruled by a puppet government?
[09:09] ---
I would prefer that you acknowledge it as a
sister country led by D'natia's grand teachings.
[09:14] ---
I see...
[09:17] ---
Speaking of which, could Inori
by any chance be a Returned One?
[09:23] ---
How absurd.
[09:28] ---
We just fought the walking dead a while ago.
[09:32] ---
Now we're told that a supposedly
dead Imperial has appeared.
[09:36] ---
Wouldn't you be suspicious, too?
[09:38] ---
Surely you jest! We're not that foolish.
[09:43] ---
When Lady Inori came under our
protection from the revolutionary army,
[09:46] ---
we used magic to thoroughly
evaluate her background,
[09:48] ---
along with the possibility
of her being a Returned One.
[09:52] ---
Well, I do believe she is fit to lead
the dragon-revering savages.
[09:59] ---
After all, miracles are adored by the ignorant.
[10:02] ---
What you're saying can apply
to us Black Dragon Knights, too...
[10:08] ---
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
[10:09] ---
I examined the Yellow Dragon's wedge.
[10:13] ---
Did it pique your interest?
[10:16] ---
The magic we use is affected by
the magic that dwells within each land,
[10:19] ---
also known as the country's
"State Magic Territory."
[10:23] ---
You could approach it as a
"home" or "away" concept,
[10:26] ---
but it seems as if this wedge can
tilt the balance towards Kouran.
[10:31] ---
It looks like there's value in
working a deal out with you.
[10:36] ---
Why, of course.
[10:37] ---
Now then, please do
arrange for my artificial arm...
[10:40] ---
Understood.
[10:41] ---
Humans are about nothing but
using and abusing one another.
[10:47] ---
Beyond that, all that's left is whether
or not they can feel good about it.
[10:51] ---
Don't you think that's why a
trusting relationship holds meaning?
[10:56] ---
Is this really okay, Lord Ka Grava?
[10:58] ---
Regardless of D'natia or Kouran,
if the wedge is used,
[11:02] ---
the balance of Nil Kamui's
State Magic Territory will crumble,
[11:04] ---
and the land will suffer,
even with respect to its magic.
[11:08] ---
That's why we need to nip them
in the bud wherever we can.
[11:12] ---
Lord Ka Grava...
[11:14] ---
I made a promise to my deceased wife
that I would protect your future.
[11:19] ---
Don't you worry.
[11:23] ---
Haiga | D'natia embassy
[11:32] ---
Good work guarding Ibuki.
[11:35] ---
Leave the rest to us now.
[11:43] ---
Welcome, dear Brother.
[11:53] ---
Even if you go now, I doubt your
thoughts will get through to Ibuki.
[12:01] ---
State Magic Territory | The range around a country
in which its magic reached its full potential.
[12:09] ---
Mashiro offered her life to Ibuki.
[12:13] ---
Mashiro should be dead, as an equivalence.
[12:20] ---
Well, I haven't seen Ibuki's power before...
[12:24] ---
That's why...
[12:25] ---
That's why there's value
in confirming your suspicion.
[12:29] ---
Isn't that right?
[12:33] ---
You're the one who built the embassy, right?
[12:35] ---
Isn't there a way to see inside?
[12:37] ---
Oh, come now! Even I wouldn't--
[12:40] ---
I'll set it right up!
[12:46] ---
I knew it...
[12:51] ---
Dear Brother, you must
have gone through a lot.
[12:54] ---
You too, Inori.
[12:57] ---
We were born as twins, and according to
ancient tradition, I was determined to be king.
[13:06] ---
That's right.
[13:08] ---
That's why there's nothing
for you to worry about.
[13:17] ---
But the revolutionary army
fought to have Ibuki rule as king.
[13:24] ---
I can leave you with Mashiro, if you'd like.
[13:27] ---
Huh? That's not...
[13:30] ---
Ibuki...
[13:38] ---
I still can't believe it.
[13:41] ---
You're really alive, Mashiro...
[13:44] ---
We're protected by Red Dragon.
[13:48] ---
Let's all live together forever--
dear Brother, Mashiro, and myself.
[13:52] ---
I'll be the king, and dear Brother will help me.
[13:56] ---
I'm sure we'll make a wonderful country.
[14:02] ---
D'natia territory | Fort Rosweisse
[14:04] ---
Our Emperor has ordered us to head to
Haiga to guard Bishop Enumael and Inori.
[14:12] ---
Were you aware of that girl
called Inori, Sir Simeon?
[14:16] ---
Not at all.
[14:19] ---
Bishop Enumael will be
questioned in regards to her.
[14:23] ---
But if we depart, our mission
of being stationed here...
[14:26] ---
In regards to that, we have proper
support to fill our positions.
[14:30] ---
Enter.
[14:35] ---
That emblem...
[14:37] ---
We are the Emperor's
personal order of cavaliers.
[14:40] ---
We will take position here in Nil Kamui.
[14:42] ---
Much appreciated.
[14:44] ---
I will be heading towards Haiga.
[14:46] ---
I assign Tricolor and Black Tongue to
handle the colonial towns towards the rear.
[14:51] ---
Ruby and Blenheim will head towards Shuka.
[14:55] ---
Sir!
[14:56] ---
Let's go, Ulrika.
[14:58] ---
Sir!
[15:02] ---
Weren't you going to be
the king of this island, Ibuki?
[15:05] ---
It's all okay now, Eykha.
[15:07] ---
After all, Mashiro was alive.
[15:11] ---
...please be a good king...
[15:15] ---
Mashiro was alive.
[15:18] ---
I didn't kill her...
[15:21] ---
Mashiro offered her life for you.
[15:26] ---
Just because Mashiro was alive doesn't
mean your promise to her is gone.
[15:32] ---
You're going to become
the king of this island, Ibuki.
[15:35] ---
I'm the sword to bring that about.
[15:43] ---
We received multiple reports from Shuka of
Inori appearing and taking Mashiro with her.
[15:48] ---
But the details are unknown.
[15:51] ---
Thank you for your effort.
[15:55] ---
Mashiro died.
[15:57] ---
We even made a grave for her.
[15:59] ---
It's difficult to confirm death,
even for an experienced doctor.
[16:03] ---
There are cases of the dead
reviving after their burial.
[16:06] ---
But her heart was pierced...
[16:09] ---
Or maybe she's just a stand-in.
[16:12] ---
It could also be possible
that's her long-lost twin.
[16:16] ---
And as you can see,
there's nothing unusual about her.
[16:20] ---
She's been sitting there the whole time.
[16:22] ---
The whole time...
[16:25] ---
She's just sitting there
without eating or sleeping...
[16:29] ---
Isn't Mashiro...
[16:31] ---
...a Returned One?
[16:37] ---
If so, Ibuki is in danger.
[16:39] ---
What are the odds of there being
a Returned One possessing sanity?
[16:42] ---
But Izun was...!
[16:48] ---
That alone isn't proof of anything.
[16:52] ---
I understand...
[16:53] ---
I have to get proof then, right?
[17:02] ---
I came as Lord Ibuki's messenger.
[17:04] ---
I have a message for Lady Inori's
waiting maid, Mashiro.
[17:08] ---
No problem. You want to see her
somewhere out of view, right?
[17:21] ---
Do you remember the first time we met?
[17:27] ---
I promised you that I would
protect Ibuki, right?
[17:32] ---
Mashiro, you and Ibuki didn't throw
rocks at Bounded Ones like myself.
[17:37] ---
You both treated me as a normal human.
[17:40] ---
I'm sure Ibuki will spread
such feelings across the island.
[17:47] ---
I'm bonded to Val, so I don't
have many years left to live.
[17:51] ---
But I've decided I'll use whatever
remaining time I have to protect Ibuki.
[17:55] ---
It's the same for you too, right, Mashiro?
[17:57] ---
You offered your life to Red Dragon
with the wish of having Ibuki become king.
[18:02] ---
That's why Ibuki kept his
promise to you, Mashiro,
[18:05] ---
and saved the children at the orphanage,
at the cost of Kai's life.
[18:11] ---
It was then I thought that
Ibuki should become king.
[18:17] ---
Mashiro...?
[18:20] ---
Ibuki...
[18:22] ---
Huh?
[18:30] ---
You don't remember a thing, do you?
[18:35] ---
I'll protect Ibuki...
[18:37] ---
I'll protect our king.
[18:40] ---
So...
[18:41] ---
So don't smile using my friend's face!
[18:49] ---
What in the world is this about?!
[18:53] ---
I can't believe you made me
bring this waiting maid here!
[18:57] ---
I'm terribly sorry about that.
[18:59] ---
And where would Lady Inori be?
[19:01] ---
She is still at rest.
[19:03] ---
I see. Well then, let's get started, shall we?
[19:06] ---
If you will, Eykha.
[19:07] ---
Eykha...? What's this about?
[19:11] ---
Mashiro is... a Returned One.
[19:14] ---
What's this all of a sudden? Is this supposed
to be Nil Kamui's excuse for a joke?
[19:18] ---
Mashiro died once at Shuka.
[19:21] ---
But she came back to life.
[19:23] ---
That's what I thought... She was killed
by Ibuki, and now she's here in front of us.
[19:27] ---
Good, my memory isn't fleeting.
[19:30] ---
Eykha...? But Mashiro is here with us...
[19:33] ---
True, there are a number
of suspect things, but...
[19:35] ---
It's simply that she was
saved by Lady Inori's magic.
[19:39] ---
I don't see the fuss.
[19:40] ---
True. In my early years,
[19:44] ---
I would often think I had killed someone
when in fact they were just unconscious.
[19:48] ---
Turns out that you have to
behead them to make sure.
[19:50] ---
Ah, that's not what we're talking about, Lou...
[19:52] ---
If you're going to accuse
her of being a Returned One,
[19:54] ---
you should at least show some form of proof.
[19:57] ---
Eykha?
[20:01] ---
I killed Mashiro last night.
[20:06] ---
And your point is?
[20:08] ---
Mashiro was killed by me last night...
[20:12] ---
And now, she's come back
to life and is in front of us.
[20:15] ---
That means...
[20:16] ---
Calm down for a moment, Eykha.
[20:18] ---
Remove Mashiro's clothes!
[20:20] ---
Ah, I see...
[20:22] ---
She should have two scars--
one from when Ibuki killed her,
[20:25] ---
and another from when
Eykha killed her last night.
[20:30] ---
That isn't proof of anything!
[20:34] ---
Moreover, taking her clothes off
would be outrageous!
[20:37] ---
Well, why don't we decide
after we take a look at this?
[20:56] ---
I-Impossible...
[20:58] ---
It's an image that was recorded
by Haiga's security system.
[21:02] ---
As you can imagine, there is no human
who could survive what you just saw.
[21:07] ---
So, there's only one reason why
she would be here in front of us.
[21:10] ---
It can't be...
[21:12] ---
Mashiro is...
[21:15] ---
I don't think I need to explain
the dangers of a Returned One.
[21:18] ---
As the one who oversees Haiga,
I can't let this go unnoticed.
[21:22] ---
N-No, but...
[21:24] ---
What's with the commotion, everyone?
[21:27] ---
Mashiro is indeed a Returned One,
but are there any problems with that?
[21:32] ---
Huh?
[21:33] ---
Lady Inori?!
[21:34] ---
Mashiro is a precious person
to my dear Brother.
[21:38] ---
That's why...
[21:41] ---
...I raised her from the dead...
[21:47] ---
I-Inori...

[00:07] ---
Three years ago...
[00:08] ---
Agito!
[00:09] ---
I'll save Lady Inori...!
[00:15] ---
Agito! Please save Inori!
[00:20] ---
Dear Brother...
[00:23] ---
Dear Brother, Ibuki...
[00:25] ---
Look at these treasures!
[00:28] ---
Did they really leave all these behind?!
[00:30] ---
The Child of Contract designated
as the future king was killed.
[00:33] ---
Nil Kamui has already lost the spirit to fight.
[00:37] ---
This war's been going on for seven
years now, but it's finally at its end.
[00:40] ---
Father...
[00:42] ---
Why did this happen...?
[00:48] ---
We don't have much time. Get out!
[00:51] ---
You're the one who said we could
take anything in the treasure vault!
[00:54] ---
This castle is about to...
[00:57] ---
Hurry it up! Who cares about that old box?!
[01:00] ---
Yeah, I know!
[01:04] ---
I'll take this if you don't want it.
[01:07] ---
This is Nil Kamui's greatest
of treasures--the Dragon Eye.
[01:12] ---
There's supposed to be two of these,
[01:15] ---
and one was offered to your
"spiritual mother" at the start of this war.
[01:20] ---
Princess...?
[01:23] ---
You...!
[01:24] ---
Why... Why did you do that to Father...?!
[01:36] ---
Pain...? It hurts...
[01:38] ---
Dear Brother, help...
[01:41] ---
Please, save Inori...
[01:48] ---
Pledge yourself to me, Imperial.
[01:52] ---
Bond with me and seek my powers.
[02:03] ---
I heard Red Dragon's voice.
[02:05] ---
"Pledge yourself to me..."
[02:07] ---
I felt like I was waiting all
this time to hear those words.
[02:11] ---
That's why I took the pledge.
[02:18] ---
Haiga | Ka Grava's manor
[02:22] ---
What is it you'd like to speak with me
about in private, dear Brother?
[02:25] ---
Is it true, Inori?
[02:28] ---
About Mashiro being a Returned One?
[02:30] ---
I thought I already said so.
I figured everyone knew already.
[02:34] ---
Not that!
[02:36] ---
I'm talking about you being
the one that brought her back.
[02:39] ---
That's the power Red Dragon gave me.
[02:43] ---
Red Dragon gave you...?
[02:46] ---
You were given the power to take lives
as an aide to the king, dear Brother.
[02:51] ---
I was given the power to
bring about life, as the true king.
[03:00] ---
The name of our country is Nil Kamui.
[03:03] ---
It's a small island country.
[03:05] ---
Three years have passed since this country
fell to the great country Kouran.
[03:10] ---
Our ally, D'natia, kept its distance, and our
guardian deity, Red Dragon, simply looked on.
[03:17] ---
I lost everything in this war,
called the Seven Year War...
[03:23] ---
Our castle, my pure body, and even
my dear Brother, whom I so loved.
[03:30] ---
Imperial Era 3015, October...
[03:32] ---
Nil Kamui will soon return to our hands...
[05:08] ---
Oh, how unclean!
[05:11] ---
I can't believe I'm in the same
room with a Returned One.
[05:14] ---
Oh? But, weren't you the one who
brought Lady Inori here, Bishop?
[05:19] ---
I don't have the time to be
concerned over her attendant.
[05:21] ---
Mind your own business!
[05:24] ---
Agito was the one who sent word saying
he found Lady Inori in the first place!
[05:28] ---
The revolutionary army's Agito?
[05:31] ---
That's odd.
[05:33] ---
The revolutionary army's goal
[05:35] ---
is to chase D'natia and Kouran out
and regain independence of the island.
[05:40] ---
Agito was put in prison as
the revolutionary army's leader.
[05:45] ---
As such, he asked for D'natia
to support Lady Inori.
[05:48] ---
With D'natia supporting the king,
Kouran could be chased out.
[05:53] ---
Agito would support the king and
maintain the revolutionary army.
[05:56] ---
Both sides win.
[05:58] ---
But I didn't know Mashiro
was a Returned One until now.
[06:02] ---
I heard that the dragons can revive,
even after death.
[06:06] ---
If so, the creation of a Returned One
may demonstrate the power of a dragon.
[06:12] ---
So then Inori was really chosen by Red Dragon?
[06:17] ---
Oh, nooo!
[06:19] ---
Hiding cameras in his own room?
[06:23] ---
What is he thinking?!
[06:27] ---
Right?
[06:35] ---
It doesn't matter whether they hear us or not.
[06:37] ---
They're all precious companions to me.
[06:41] ---
Does that apply to Inori, too?
[06:44] ---
After the castle fell, I was all alone.
[06:47] ---
I ran, by myself, and even
did many things I can't say...
[06:52] ---
I-I'm sorry...
[06:53] ---
I'm sorry, Inori... Even after I said
I would always protect you...
[06:58] ---
The only person I trust is you, dear Brother.
[07:01] ---
It's the same for you with Inori, right?
[07:05] ---
Don't trust the combined expedition.
[07:07] ---
Inori...?
[07:08] ---
Their objective is to destroy Red Dragon.
[07:12] ---
That way they can gain
full control of this island.
[07:15] ---
Are you going to let
that happen, dear Brother?!
[07:21] ---
Ibuki!
[07:23] ---
Ibuki...
[07:24] ---
Are the two of you done talking?
[07:26] ---
Yes. Mashiro really is a Returned One.
[07:31] ---
So, Inori creating her is...
[07:34] ---
How absurd!
[07:36] ---
I don't recall allowing you to do such a thing!
[07:38] ---
Now come!
[07:40] ---
I have some words for you...!
[07:45] ---
I wonder where all that "Lady Inori"
treatment from yesterday went...
[07:50] ---
At day's end, we are simply tools being used
to set up D'natia's puppet government.
[07:54] ---
If you'll excuse me...
[07:56] ---
So, what are we going to do now?
[08:00] ---
I will get rid of Mashiro.
[08:02] ---
No!
[08:03] ---
Ibuki?
[08:05] ---
Please, give me some time...
[08:08] ---
My mind isn't settled yet...
[08:14] ---
D'natia embassy
[08:20] ---
What...? The contract seal
feels like it's burning...
[08:26] ---
Sir Sweallow...! Sir Sweallow...!
[08:28] ---
Sir Sweallow!
[08:30] ---
This is...
[08:32] ---
Sweallow Clazzvali...
[08:35] ---
Cursed child...
[08:37] ---
Your work has shaken Nil Kamui
and the land has been colored in black.
[08:44] ---
That's because of the
Black Dragon Scale's power.
[08:46] ---
Indeed. Soon Nil Kamui
will be painted over in black,
[08:51] ---
and I will rule that land
as if I resided there myself.
[08:55] ---
Of course, in order to do that, I will need
to bring the power of the red one under me.
[09:01] ---
I will be eagerly waiting
for you to bring that about.
[09:05] ---
One question.
[09:07] ---
Once the State Magic Territory
is overtaken by D'natia,
[09:10] ---
what will happen to Nil Kamui's citizens?
[09:13] ---
They will not be decimated.
[09:16] ---
But they will lose all of their magic.
[09:19] ---
Twisted beings born from the binding of beasts
and humans will come about no more.
[09:25] ---
I'm assuming that's supposed to be good.
[09:28] ---
I shall grant you a reward.
[09:30] ---
I will grant you temporal
protection against any blade.
[09:35] ---
I shall refer to it as the "Black Curtain."
[09:45] ---
Sir Sweallow!
[09:50] ---
So... You sensed that, too?
[09:54] ---
Was it Black Dragon?
[09:55] ---
But we're in Nil Kamui...
[09:58] ---
Looks like he really likes me or something...
[10:03] ---
I think he knows about how
I'm trying to protect Ibuki, too...
[10:06] ---
It can't be...
[10:07] ---
Meryl, if you're anxious,
then at least you can return...
[10:13] ---
You good-for-nothing...
[10:19] ---
Dear Brother, please agree with me.
[10:23] ---
I wasn't planning on
becoming D'natia's puppet.
[10:27] ---
If I rise, then the revolutionary
army will rise in revolt as well.
[10:32] ---
Please, come with me!
[10:35] ---
What am I supposed to say
to the expedition members?
[10:38] ---
Don't you see? They're our enemies.
[10:41] ---
First they will need to be killed,
or else you will be killed, dear Brother.
[10:46] ---
Lies... She has to be lying...
[10:48] ---
Oh? Called for my presence, have you?
[10:52] ---
A child of that one, are you, Imperial?
[11:00] ---
Black Dragon Knight
The order of D'natia's greatest of soldiers.
[11:05] ---
Red Dragon...?
[11:09] ---
I didn't call for you!
[11:10] ---
I am one of the seven dragons associated
with Red Dragon, whom you humans revere.
[11:16] ---
My body is in D'natia, and what
you are hearing are my thoughts.
[11:20] ---
Black Dragon...?
[11:23] ---
Your wish is to have this island
returned to how it once was.
[11:28] ---
Only D'natia can fulfill that.
[11:32] ---
What?!
[11:33] ---
Kouran seeks to dominate this island.
[11:37] ---
The revolutionary army fights against that.
[11:40] ---
No matter the outcome, the blood
of many will continue to pour.
[11:44] ---
That is not your wish.
[11:47] ---
We will not harm the citizens of Nil Kamui.
[11:51] ---
Side with D'natia...?
[11:52] ---
That will also save you.
[11:56] ---
You are troubled with the
cursed power you have gained.
[12:01] ---
Red Dragon's power...
[12:04] ---
You are aware of what a
"State Magic Territory" is, yes?
[12:08] ---
This island's state is currently
shifting greatly towards D'natia.
[12:13] ---
As a result, Red Dragon will lose its power
and you will finally be freed from your curse.
[12:19] ---
Wait, did Sweallow...?!
[12:23] ---
It is your choice, Imperial!
[12:34] ---
D'natia... Kouran...
[12:37] ---
They all say what they want.
[12:40] ---
But they don't say anything
about what to do with Mashiro...
[12:52] ---
Where's Mashiro?
[12:53] ---
That bald geezer came
back here all of a sudden.
[12:58] ---
Something about D'natia interrogating her,
and restraining her in the embassy.
[13:04] ---
Why didn't any of you help her?!
[13:06] ---
We were told she was "Inori's attendant."
That didn't leave us with much of a choice.
[13:11] ---
Even if she's a Returned One,
she's still Mashiro.
[13:16] ---
You're so kind.
[13:18] ---
I understand well what it's like
to be so fixated on something.
[13:22] ---
But once something is gone,
it will never return to its original form.
[13:27] ---
It's about time you learned that some
things can never be brought back,
[13:31] ---
and that's what makes them so beautiful.
[13:44] ---
Ibuki!
[13:47] ---
Perfect timing!
[13:50] ---
Sweallow is with D'natia, too...
[13:54] ---
Huh? Hey, Ibuki!
[13:59] ---
Hey now, what's going on?
[14:01] ---
I-I'm sorry, but can you please help me?!
[14:08] ---
D'natia, eh?
[14:09] ---
So, interested in chasing
young boys' butts or something?
[14:11] ---
Ah, well, sure, it may look like that, but...
[14:14] ---
Please deny it more forcefully!
[14:16] ---
Sorry, but my nature calls me to
side with a kid looking for help,
[14:21] ---
rather than some adult I've never met.
[14:23] ---
Really?
[14:24] ---
It's okay, he's a good guy!
[14:27] ---
That's not what this is about...
[14:29] ---
Sir Sweallow?
[14:31] ---
Ulrika?
[14:33] ---
Ulrika Ledesma? Of the Black Dragon Knights?
[14:36] ---
You know very well of the peace treaty.
[14:39] ---
So, what are you...
[14:40] ---
Ah, wait... He's a good guy, and...
[14:43] ---
We don't know that for sure.
[14:46] ---
Sir Byakuei!
[14:47] ---
Where are you?!
[14:49] ---
Hey, over here!
[14:50] ---
I got lost in the crowd!
[14:54] ---
Byakuei...?
[14:55] ---
Could it be...?
[14:56] ---
Apologies for not introducing myself earlier.
[14:58] ---
As the new representative of Kouran,
[15:00] ---
I'm on my way to Fort Roseweisse to
speak with the Black Dragon Knights.
[15:05] ---
Huh? So then he's...
[15:07] ---
...the Leader of Ten-Thousand, Sir Byakuei.
[15:09] ---
And if so, he's one of the six
great generals of Kouran's force.
[15:16] ---
I want to meet Enumael!
[15:17] ---
By order of the Bishop,
we are not to allow anyone through!
[15:18] ---
D'natia embassy
[15:21] ---
Move!
[15:22] ---
Do not get in the way of
an Imperial of Nil Kamui!
[15:27] ---
Mashiro!
[15:28] ---
Where are you, Mashiro?!
[15:35] ---
Ka Grava's so hilarious!
[15:37] ---
Seriously, he hid way too many wiretaps.
[15:41] ---
Mashiro should have been brought here.
[15:43] ---
Ah... Don't worry.
[15:46] ---
What do you mean "don't worry"?!
[15:47] ---
Bishop Enumael wants to
make you the king, right?
[15:50] ---
There's no way he would allow a
Returned One to stay at your side!
[15:54] ---
Even if Enumael kills her,
I'll just revive her again.
[16:00] ---
So feel free to use that
power of yours, dear Brother.
[16:04] ---
Ah, that's right!
[16:06] ---
How about we burn that girl, Lou?
[16:10] ---
She wields a sword that prevents
Returned Ones from reviving again.
[16:16] ---
Besides, I wanted to see your power that
you got from Red Dragon, dear Brother.
[16:22] ---
I won't use that power ever again.
[16:25] ---
Besides, if Lou dies, Ka Grava
and Sweallow won't let that go.
[16:30] ---
Then we should just kill them, too.
[16:33] ---
The expedition is merely a means
to kill Red Dragon anyways.
[16:37] ---
Ah, but if there's someone you particularly like,
I can bring them back to life later.
[16:42] ---
Inori...
[16:44] ---
I've already done enough of that already...
[16:48] ---
I see...
[16:50] ---
You're clearing my anger and sorrow
in my place, aren't you, Red Dragon...?
[16:58] ---
More...
[16:59] ---
Even more...
[17:01] ---
Destroy more... Burn more...
[17:03] ---
Bring more upon those who took everything
from me and those who live on idly!
[17:07] ---
All who have directed their wrath
towards us will be incinerated!
[17:12] ---
And then, if we bring only those
we like back as Returned Ones,
[17:15] ---
a world that is kind to us will be born.
[17:18] ---
That will be our new Nil Kamui.
[17:22] ---
She thinks Red Dragon
went on a rampage for her...
[17:26] ---
Is Red Dragon's madness controlling Inori, too?
[17:30] ---
At this rate, Inori will really kill everyone...
[17:36] ---
I understand, Inori.
[17:38] ---
But let's first go and meet Agito.
[17:41] ---
Huh?
[17:42] ---
We'll officially place you upon the throne.
[17:45] ---
Since D'natia won't support us any more,
we need to get Agito out of Shuka's prison.
[17:49] ---
I'm so happy, dear Brother!
So, you will come with me?
[17:54] ---
Of course!
[17:57] ---
I've been protected by everyone
in the expedition until now.
[18:02] ---
Lou even lost one of her arms...
[18:05] ---
I won't let anyone harm them, ever...!
[18:18] ---
Don't come in, Ibuki!
[18:22] ---
What's going on here?
[18:24] ---
Mashiro...?
[18:39] ---
Dinner is ready.
[18:41] ---
Sir Ibuki?
[18:42] ---
Ibuki hasn't returned yet?
[18:45] ---
It would seem that way.
[18:48] ---
Haiga outskirts
[18:50] ---
Fugaku,
[18:51] ---
what happened?
[18:53] ---
It was... a horrible sight.
[18:56] ---
Enumael kept haranguing in front of Mashiro.
[19:00] ---
He cried heresy, called us savages,
and pressed to have Mashiro exterminated.
[19:06] ---
The commotion apparently
stirred Mashiro, and...
[19:43] ---
S-Stop...!
[19:47] ---
Holy spirit, appear!
[19:58] ---
Lady Inori watched in silence
until the bishop stopped moving.
[20:04] ---
Dear Brother, let's go to Shuka!
[20:07] ---
Before that... Mashiro...
[20:09] ---
If you want to speak with her,
we'll have time later...
[20:12] ---
Ibuki, what are you doing?!
[20:14] ---
Dear Brother...?!
[20:22] ---
Dear Brother...
[20:24] ---
She won't die from that.
[20:27] ---
And...
[20:29] ---
Red Dragon...
[20:31] ---
Red Dragon, you mentioned that a
Returned One can be taken as an offering.
[20:39] ---
I will offer my dear Mashiro again.
[20:43] ---
Even if she is a Returned One,
her life is still precious.
[20:46] ---
Isn't that so?!
[20:47] ---
Indeed.
[20:49] ---
I will accept her as an equivalent exchange.
[20:52] ---
You're not thinking of...!
[20:53] ---
In the name of the Child of Contract,
and of Red Dragon...
[20:59] ---
...incinerate every bit of Mashiro's soul
so that she will never rise again!
[21:26] ---
Mashiro...
[21:28] ---
Do you remember what you told me...?
[21:32] ---
...please be a good king...
[21:36] ---
I...
[21:38] ---
...haven't forgotten...

[00:14] ---
The beasts are disappearing from the forest...
[00:17] ---
Yes...
[00:18] ---
The beasts have all gone
away within the past few days.
[00:22] ---
It's possible that the Magic Territory
on this island is changing.
[00:26] ---
A country is rooted to the magic
residing within the land.
[00:29] ---
Soon the water's flow, the land's bounty,
and even the air itself will be affected...
[00:37] ---
Agito is planning to place
Lady Inori upon the throne.
[00:41] ---
You were simply used to
cover up his intentions!
[00:46] ---
I'll try and talk with Agito.
[00:48] ---
Let's hurry to Shuka.
[00:50] ---
Thank goodness!
[00:52] ---
I thought we had gotten
separated, dear Brother!
[00:55] ---
Please don't let go of me again.
[01:04] ---
Meanwhile... | D'natia embassy
[01:07] ---
Bishop.
[01:08] ---
Bishop Enumael.
[01:10] ---
Inori is nowhere to be found.
[01:13] ---
Sir Sweallow...
[01:15] ---
I'm sorry I haven't greeted
you yet, Ambassador.
[01:18] ---
I received orders from our
country to bring Sir Enumael
[01:22] ---
and the Imperial to Shuka immediately.
[01:25] ---
Where's Ibuki?!
[01:26] ---
What's this monster doing here?
[01:27] ---
She's a member of the combined expedition.
[01:30] ---
Ibuki is the name of the other Imperial.
[01:33] ---
Ibuki isn't around, either?
[01:37] ---
Close this structure immediately!
[01:39] ---
Yes.
[01:42] ---
What's the matter?
[01:45] ---
The name of this country is Nil Kamui.
[01:47] ---
It has been three years
[01:49] ---
since this very small island country was
invaded by the great country Kouran.
[01:52] ---
Despite being Nil Kamui's ally,
[01:54] ---
D'natia avoided direct conflict with Kouran
and maintained a stance of neutrality.
[01:59] ---
After the Seven Year War ended,
[02:02] ---
peaceful rule of the land between the two
countries was established, with D'natia
[02:06] ---
keeping a watchful eye on
Kouran's occupation of Nil Kamui.
[02:09] ---
But one day, this island must
be returned to its rightful owner.
[02:14] ---
Holy Era 285, October...
[02:18] ---
Conflict is about to begin again for Nil Kamui...
[03:55] ---
Weren't those found near Bishop Enumael...?
[03:59] ---
A Holy Spirit...
[04:00] ---
It's a seal given by the Church
to protect its bearer from attack.
[04:06] ---
Sir Sweallow has you for a partner,
so he probably doesn't need one.
[04:11] ---
The Holy Spirit is valuable,
so I'm sure he just sold it.
[04:14] ---
I, on the other hand, am free to use.
[04:16] ---
Being close to someone may
prevent you from seeing the obvious.
[04:21] ---
He really thinks of you...
[04:24] ---
...as someone precious...
[04:29] ---
So, Mashiro--
[04:30] ---
No... A Returned One killed Bishop Enumael?
[04:34] ---
In that case, it makes sense
[04:35] ---
Haiga | Ka Grava's mansion
[04:36] ---
that Inori and the others have disappeared.
[04:39] ---
Does this clear the doubt placed upon us?
[04:44] ---
Like I was saying, this is Agito's scheme to
make Kouran and D'natia confront each other.
[04:50] ---
Leader of Ten-Thousand, Byakuei, was it?
[04:54] ---
The moment you arrived in Haiga,
our bishop was killed.
[04:59] ---
It seems too timely...
[05:01] ---
Nah, I don't think he's a bad...
[05:04] ---
...person...
[05:06] ---
Sir Simeon.
[05:07] ---
Our spiritual mother
would like to have a meeting
[05:11] ---
with D'natia's representative in
regards to the rulership of Nil Kamui.
[05:15] ---
You mean the legend who ruled
Kouran for over 3,000 years...?
[05:19] ---
Legend?
[05:21] ---
Not at all. In fact, she's here right now
in the capital of this island, Shuka.
[05:24] ---
I don't think it's right for the fate of Nil Kamui
to be determined by those two countries.
[05:28] ---
Your presence is, of course,
requested as well, Sir Ka Grava.
[05:34] ---
The leader of the revolutionary army, Agito...
[05:37] ---
...is controlling the two Imperials
for his own purposes...
[05:41] ---
D'natia was tricked by him once before.
[05:45] ---
This is not the time for Kouran and
D'natia to be competing for power.
[05:49] ---
As soon as I get approval from our country,
we will have the meeting in Shuka.
[05:54] ---
W-Wait a minute!
[05:56] ---
A meeting in Shuka?
[05:58] ---
So what about the combined expedition?
[06:00] ---
Kouran... D'natia... The revolutionary army...
[06:02] ---
We believed having these three forces join the
Red Dragon expedition would lead to peace.
[06:08] ---
But with the revolutionary army plotting
in secret, there's no meaning to it anymore.
[06:16] ---
Between Haiga and Shuka | Woodlands
[06:23] ---
As things stand now, there's no way Kouran
or D'natia would approve Inori as king.
[06:27] ---
Then...
[06:30] ---
Both of you, please stay behind!
[06:33] ---
Go...!
[06:52] ---
Val! What's the matter, Val?!
[06:55] ---
Unable to exert your power,
and feeling sick as well, aren't you?
[06:58] ---
So the attendants were Returned Ones too?!
[07:01] ---
It's because our State Magic
Territory was tainted.
[07:05] ---
The beast you're bonded to is weakened, too.
[07:09] ---
Dear Brother, this is how they're invading us.
[07:13] ---
The real purpose of the combined expedition
is to take Red Dragon's power away.
[07:18] ---
But it is a fact that Red Dragon went mad.
[07:21] ---
It incinerated the people and the villages!
[07:24] ---
Well, they deserved it.
[07:26] ---
Red Dragon is angry.
[07:28] ---
Angry at the powerless citizens who
gave Nil Kamui over to the invaders.
[07:40] ---
Kill me!
[07:45] ---
How sad...
[07:47] ---
You're no king!
[07:48] ---
Only Ibuki can use Red Dragon's flames!
[07:52] ---
That's right... It's important to you
that dear Brother become king.
[07:59] ---
Only because Ibuki is fit to become king.
[08:01] ---
You were created as a worthless
Bounded One, and your days are numbered.
[08:08] ---
But you're offering your life to
dear Brother as something precious.
[08:13] ---
Only then can you say in satisfaction that you
lived and died as the king's sword and friend.
[08:21] ---
Huh? What? Are you trying to make me laugh?
[08:25] ---
No matter how much you adore dear Brother...
[08:28] ---
No!
[08:29] ---
Dear Brother only sees you
as a mere attendant.
[08:33] ---
That's why your life isn't
worth offering to Red Dragon.
[08:38] ---
N-No...
[08:40] ---
You'll just have a pitiful death!
[08:43] ---
You'll die... for nothing!
[08:49] ---
Dear Brother, you should kill her.
After all, it's her--
[08:51] ---
Stop it already!
[08:53] ---
Eykha, go back to Ka Grava.
[08:56] ---
Ibuki, you didn't kill me the last time, either.
[09:00] ---
Is it because... you think my life has no value?
[09:06] ---
Eykha...
[09:15] ---
I don't consider you to be my blade.
[09:25] ---
I want to protect you...
[09:28] ---
But... I don't have the right to do that.
[09:33] ---
Ibuki...!
[09:37] ---
Haiga | Ka Grava's mansion
[09:40] ---
Quite impressive...
[09:42] ---
It's the best Wu Xing Ti that Kouran has.
[09:45] ---
The item you gave me is that valuable.
[09:48] ---
And this...?
[09:50] ---
It's the dragon's claw.
[09:54] ---
I'm sure it's the best weapon
available to defeat Red Dragon...
[09:59] ---
It's unusual to see you showing
interest in someone else's property.
[10:04] ---
You may be right.
[10:09] ---
Thank goodness. It looks like
the operation was a success.
[10:12] ---
And...?
[10:13] ---
Ah, well...
[10:16] ---
The combined expedition
was just to buy time...
[10:18] ---
...and behind it was the political
posturing of all the countries involved.
[10:24] ---
But that kind of behind-the-scenes
stuff doesn't concern us, right?
[10:28] ---
Yes... We just have to continue our mission.
[10:32] ---
Well, let's go, then.
[10:33] ---
Yes...
[10:35] ---
To save Ibuki.
[10:35] ---
To find Red Dragon.
[10:36] ---
Huh?
[10:36] ---
What?
[10:39] ---
I didn't understand what you said just now...
[10:42] ---
Depending on the results from the peace
meeting in Shuka, Ibuki may be in danger.
[10:46] ---
We should find and protect him before then.
[10:47] ---
But our goal is to find Red Dragon...
[10:51] ---
No... I'll be upfront with you.
[10:54] ---
Don't we need to kill it?
[10:56] ---
Yeah...
[10:57] ---
Well, it's clear that killing
Red Dragon would benefit me, too.
[11:03] ---
But if I was asked whether the benefit
was worth ruining a single child's fate,
[11:09] ---
my answer would be "no."
[11:12] ---
Honestly speaking, I haven't been attached
to any single thing my whole life.
[11:16] ---
That applies to Red Dragon's life, too.
[11:19] ---
Quite an interesting person, isn't he, Lou?
[11:22] ---
But if we stay with him, I'll be able to consume
the Imperials and Black Dragon Knights...
[11:28] ---
I think I said this before, Lou,
but I can't casually touch you...
[11:33] ---
Sir Sweallow, I will kill Red Dragon.
[11:37] ---
I don't get it.
[11:39] ---
Why are you so persistent in
going after Red Dragon? That's...
[11:44] ---
That is like asking me why my heart is beating.
[11:49] ---
In other words, you're the opposite of me--
you form very strong attachments.
[11:55] ---
Well, I have known you were
like this ever since we first met.
[12:00] ---
I think I was looking forward to having similar
emotions grow within me from being with you.
[12:06] ---
Your expectations will not be betrayed...
[12:10] ---
If you'd like, we can...
[12:12] ---
...do it here...
[12:14] ---
Lou Chun Wah.
[12:16] ---
Did I bother you?
[12:18] ---
No... Is there something you need
from me, Leader of Ten-Thousand?
[12:21] ---
Yes... I have a message from L´ng MÔ.
[12:29] ---
Are you all right, Sir Sweallow?!
[12:31] ---
Ah, um, it's not what you think, and...
[12:34] ---
I understand.
[12:36] ---
You're going to protect Ibuki even if it
gets in the way of lifting your curse, right?
[12:42] ---
Oh, shoot. Did Meryl say
something weird again?
[12:47] ---
You've suffered more than enough,
even in your childhood.
[12:52] ---
And yet...
[12:54] ---
That's why I don't want to
see any more children suffer.
[13:05] ---
Be safe.
[13:09] ---
Holy Spirit | A spirit-like existence which
is born from D'natia's 'Creation Magic.'
[13:15] ---
You were planning to kill that
Black Dragon Knight, were you?
[13:18] ---
Is there a problem?
[13:20] ---
I guess the rumors are true.
[13:22] ---
You became a cold-blooded assassin
after you stole that sword of yours
[13:26] ---
from a general that favored you.
[13:30] ---
Supposedly, it has something
to do with L´ng MÔ...
[13:35] ---
It's said to be so sharp that the previous owner
tested its blade against his subordinates.
[13:42] ---
There's no telling what would happen to me.
[13:51] ---
Will you be the one to entertain me...?
[13:57] ---
I want you...
[14:04] ---
I heard you were charmed by
the sword and became its slave...
[14:10] ---
I'm surprised that the Leader of
Ten-Thousand would believe such a rumor...
[14:16] ---
I have word from L´ng MÔ.
[14:21] ---
Even if you are the only one left,
take Red Dragon's life.
[14:29] ---
Ah, the dragon's claw...
[14:30] ---
We didn't tell anyone we were heading
to Shuka, so we can't go back to get it now.
[14:35] ---
It could be a problem if it gets in Lou's hands.
[14:38] ---
Nah, I don't think she cares
about other people's weapons.
[14:42] ---
To be safe, let me secure it.
[14:46] ---
Thanks, but...
[14:48] ---
Sir Sweallow.
[14:49] ---
I believe it's in everyone's
interest to live in happiness
[14:54] ---
without intolerance among
Kouran, D'natia, and Nil Kamui.
[14:58] ---
Such thinking would make me unfit
to be a member of the force...
[15:01] ---
Not at all.
[15:02] ---
I thought the combined expedition
would lead the way to such an ideal.
[15:06] ---
But that wasn't the case for Lou Chun Wah!
[15:09] ---
She is... evil.
[15:12] ---
Ulrika...
[15:21] ---
I'm sorry.
[15:22] ---
I want to move quickly, so I only need
the bare minimum to be on board.
[15:25] ---
Yes, we understand.
[15:28] ---
Would this be the item you've asked for?
[15:31] ---
Yes, it is...
[15:33] ---
Dragon's claw...
[15:35] ---
So, making it seem like they parted ways,
[15:37] ---
only to converge later with
that Black Dragon Knight...
[15:51] ---
I'm worrying too much...
[16:03] ---
Your fate is sealed, even if
you are a Black Dragon Knight!
[16:08] ---
Smiling, I see...
[16:11] ---
Lou! The shadow!
[16:15] ---
A familiar?!
[16:19] ---
That's...?!
[16:26] ---
I didn't expect she would harbor
such a monster in the shadows!
[16:44] ---
I sensed nothing from it...
[16:47] ---
Dark, Lou.
[16:50] ---
The Black Dragon's attribute is "Dark."
[16:52] ---
Its divine protection is
greatest during the night.
[16:55] ---
We should hurry.
[16:57] ---
The sun is about to set.
[16:58] ---
If that happens...
[17:00] ---
Everything will be covered in dark...
[17:34] ---
Contract seal, release!
[17:38] ---
Bring upon me the power of Black Dragon!
[18:04] ---
Well, well...
[18:06] ---
None can resist your charm, my Lord.
[18:14] ---
You can't hold back your
desire for this sword now.
[18:19] ---
Right?
[18:27] ---
Enjoy the soul of the Black
Dragon Knight Ulrika Ledesma!
[18:32] ---
She's mine!
[18:41] ---
My Lord!
[18:42] ---
She has a Holy Spirit on her.
[18:46] ---
Holy Spirit?
[18:49] ---
It can take a blow of death.
[18:52] ---
In other words, it's like a sacrifice.
[18:55] ---
She has more than one life...?
[18:58] ---
So the pain made you
regain your consciousness.
[19:01] ---
But my Lord's charm can't be lifted so easily.
[19:06] ---
Then I just have to increase the pain...
[19:11] ---
You'll go to such lengths to refuse my Lord?!
[19:15] ---
Now!
[19:21] ---
I won't be charmed by such trickery!
[19:25] ---
Because I already saw the most
beautiful thing in this world!!
[19:31] ---
His fate to lose all that comes
within his grasp allows him
[19:35] ---
to put his life at stake for the future of others...
[19:39] ---
If he will protect the children, then I will...
[19:44] ---
You love him that much?
[19:46] ---
It's not like he can even touch you...
[20:15] ---
The Magic Territory of this ocean
has greatly shifted towards Kouran.
[20:21] ---
Being from D'natia, you must
be very uncomfortable now.
[20:30] ---
So, still trying to protect your master?
[20:36] ---
How admirable...
[20:56] ---
There is nothing more beautiful than my Lord.
[21:20] ---
Sweallow...
[21:31] ---
We've been had.
[21:33] ---
The dragon's claw must have
been sent through other means...
[21:38] ---
She sacrificed herself...?
[21:41] ---
I see... You wanted to
become his Holy Spirit...

Shuka | City suburbs
[00:13] ---
That's right...
[00:15] ---
Yes...
[00:16] ---
I just verified...
[00:19] ---
Judging by the armor and body stature,
I believe you're right...
[00:24] ---
It looks like we were able to confirm the identity
of the body we believe to be Lady Ulrika.
[00:30] ---
Believe to be...?
[00:33] ---
We couldn't find the head...
[00:39] ---
There aren't many on this
island who could kill Ulrika.
[00:44] ---
It probably is Lou Chun Wah's doing...
[00:49] ---
So you're finally accepting
that this is Kouran's bidding!
[00:53] ---
She has nothing to do with the Kouran forces!
[00:57] ---
We're supposed to believe that?!
[00:58] ---
As one of the Six Greats of Kouran,
no lie will come from me!
[01:03] ---
The combined expedition has been disbanded.
[01:09] ---
In truth, both D'natia and Kouran sought
the extermination of Red Dragon...
[01:16] ---
...while the revolutionary army prepared
an alliance with D'natia in secrecy.
[01:25] ---
But Lady Ulrika believed
in the expedition's ideal...
[01:33] ---
...that Kouran and D'natia would join hands
[01:37] ---
to save Nil Kamui's
guardian deity, Red Dragon.
[01:44] ---
Thus, as the final member
of the combined expedition,
[01:47] ---
I, Ka Grava Rai Fuu Gramstahl, have an
obligation to carry on Lady Ulrika's will.
[01:54] ---
I will not let any conflict between
Kouran and D'natia occur in my presence!
[03:34] ---
Shuka | Outskirts road
[03:40] ---
Her ride is on the house.
Think of it as charity.
[03:45] ---
Setsuren? What a nice name.
[03:48] ---
Thank you.
[03:49] ---
So, you must be the Sherbet Company person.
[03:52] ---
And big brother here is the newest member
of the Black Dragon Knights, right?
[03:56] ---
You're well known.
[03:57] ---
Are you the daughter of
some wealthy merchant?
[04:03] ---
Okay, we can go with that.
[04:05] ---
Go with...?
[04:07] ---
Say, say, Sweallow?
There's something I want to ask you.
[04:13] ---
Ah, what is it?
[04:15] ---
Did you find what you were
looking for on this remote island?
[04:22] ---
It's true that I'm looking for something.
[04:25] ---
Do you know what that "something" is?
[04:29] ---
Not really...
[04:30] ---
But let's see... Maybe something
that will never break?
[04:40] ---
You're right...
[04:41] ---
Anything that I try to hold dear
to me breaks no matter what.
[04:48] ---
No...
[04:49] ---
I guess it's more like anything in this world...
[04:52] ---
You know, what if there was someone
[04:54] ---
who could live thousands of years
without a change in their appearance?
[04:59] ---
Would that be the "something"
that big brother is looking for?
[05:04] ---
I may be able to give
that "something" to you...
[05:10] ---
Who are you?
[05:22] ---
Hey, everyone! We're about to
arrive in the capital city of Shuka.
[05:28] ---
I see...
[05:30] ---
The beast isn't healing its
wounds as quickly as usual,
[05:33] ---
and in turn, it's draining
the life to which it's bounded.
[05:37] ---
It must be because of the
Magic Territory shift to D'natia.
[05:41] ---
Do you have any last words?
[05:43] ---
If I see Ibuki, I can relay your words for you.
[05:46] ---
I can't... die yet.
[05:50] ---
Ibuki needs to...
[05:52] ---
He doesn't desire that anymore.
[05:54] ---
He's planning to make
his younger sister the king.
[05:57] ---
It doesn't matter...
[05:59] ---
I've decided to make Ibuki king...
[06:03] ---
I see...
[06:07] ---
If you use this, the pain in your body
can be neutralized with Kouran's magic.
[06:14] ---
But using this wedge will only
extend your life for a few days.
[06:20] ---
Do you still want it?
[06:26] ---
Okay, here...
[06:36] ---
Capital of Nil Kamui | Shuka
[06:44] ---
Guest house
[06:47] ---
What is the reason for expediting
the execution of Agito?
[06:52] ---
It's the condition we gave for Kouran's
attendance at the peace meeting.
[06:55] ---
Ka Grava!
[06:58] ---
Leader Simeon!
[06:59] ---
You have some gall to show yourself here
after you left without any notice.
[07:06] ---
Speaking of which, is Lady Ulrika
attending the peace meeting?
[07:10] ---
I see. So you haven't heard yet...
[07:13] ---
Um, we overheard something
about executing Agito...
[07:19] ---
This is Sir Krama.
[07:21] ---
He is the representative of
the provisional government.
[07:25] ---
Sir Sweallow, was it?
[07:27] ---
Agito, who led the rebel army,
is being held in prison here in Shuka.
[07:32] ---
Recently, we found that he conspired to place
a false king named Inori upon the throne.
[07:38] ---
Because of this, we decided
to execute him without trial.
[07:40] ---
But the revolutionary army is supported
by the citizens of Nil Kamui.
[07:44] ---
Not "revolutionary army."
[07:46] ---
That's "rebel army," big sister Meryl.
[07:50] ---
Setsuren...?
[07:52] ---
Sir Byakuei?
[07:53] ---
If it was that kid Ibuki, then I'd let
him proclaim himself to be king...
[07:58] ---
...but not Inori.
[07:59] ---
You know why, right?
[08:01] ---
This is Kouran's representative, Lady Setsuren.
[08:05] ---
Representative?
[08:07] ---
Why, yes.
[08:08] ---
Back in my country, I'm also known
as the "spiritual mother," Líng Mǔ.
[08:11] ---
Um, but why would the ruler come here?
[08:14] ---
You would know...
[08:16] ---
Where is Lou Chun Wah?
[08:20] ---
Sir Simeon...?
[08:21] ---
Where is she?!
[08:25] ---
Shuka | Prison
[08:31] ---
Please speak with Agito directly.
[08:39] ---
What's the meaning of this, Fugaku?
[08:43] ---
Agito asked to speak
with Lord Ibuki in private.
[08:54] ---
I am Blenheim, a member of the Emperor
of D'natia's personal order of cavaliers.
[09:02] ---
I need to question you about the deaths
of Bishop Enumael and the temple soldiers.
[09:10] ---
If Agito is going to be executed,
Inori and Ibuki are sure to come to Shuka.
[09:16] ---
They'll then summon Red Dragon to save him.
[09:19] ---
Summon? I believe Red Dragon
went on a rampage of its own accord.
[09:24] ---
That's so unlike you, great merchant.
[09:27] ---
A young girl is always sighted
before Red Dragon goes on a rampage.
[09:32] ---
And that's Inori...?
[09:34] ---
Say, big brother Sweallow?
[09:37] ---
If Red Dragon appears,
can you please leave it alone?
[09:43] ---
How come?
[09:44] ---
If we leave it alone, this city is going
to be in a whole lot of trouble.
[09:48] ---
But if big brother Sweallow kills it,
[09:51] ---
the power of Red Dragon is going
to be absorbed by Black Dragon.
[09:55] ---
After all, Black Dragon and big
brother are bonded by contract.
[09:59] ---
That's a bit of a problem for me.
[10:03] ---
Your country once defeated a dragon and
built an advanced civilization with its power.
[10:09] ---
Why, yes! Humans should be the ones
to use the power of dragons.
[10:14] ---
So what does Sir Sweallow get in return?
[10:18] ---
Didn't I make it clear that I know
what big brother wants?
[10:23] ---
Yes, something everlasting,
that would never break...
[10:34] ---
I'm able to stay in this
youthful form until I die.
[10:38] ---
I can bring about the same
for your precious someone, too.
[10:42] ---
Give them an existence that would never break.
[10:45] ---
How about it?
[10:51] ---
Why don't you ask him, too?
[10:53] ---
Say that you want to stay in your form forever.
[11:00] ---
Then maybe he'll actually touch you...
[11:05] ---
Whoops...
[11:06] ---
That's my answer, Líng Mǔ.
[11:10] ---
I can now say I value the concept
[11:13] ---
that with everything that breaks,
something new is born.
[11:18] ---
If you like, I can try to break you.
[11:23] ---
Sweallow Clazzvali...
[11:28] ---
Líng Mǔ | An aggregate form of wisdom from
all the kings that have ever ruled Kouran.
[11:34] ---
You've grown well, Ibuki.
[11:39] ---
Thank you for coming down here.
[11:43] ---
Teacher...
[11:46] ---
Agito...
[11:48] ---
There's something you need to do
before you can become king.
[11:52] ---
I thought you wanted Inori to become king?
[11:57] ---
Kill Inori with your own hands.
[12:01] ---
That will establish your right to become king.
[12:12] ---
Fugaku, do you know what you're doing?!
[12:14] ---
This is all going according to Agito's plan.
[12:17] ---
Agito informed us that you
would come to this prison.
[12:22] ---
I assume it's his way of pleading for his life.
[12:24] ---
Agito...
[12:25] ---
That's right... Agito...
[12:27] ---
Agito went and...
[12:29] ---
Inori was cursed like me by Red Dragon.
[12:33] ---
She went mad because of it.
[12:35] ---
I want Inori back the way she was.
[12:38] ---
Killing her is...!
[12:39] ---
You've got it wrong.
[12:41] ---
Inori made Red Dragon go mad.
[12:45] ---
What...?
[12:46] ---
Half a year ago, Inori was
hiding in a certain village.
[12:51] ---
But they found out who she was,
and in fear of being chased by Kouran,
[12:55] ---
the villagers tried to kill her.
[13:12] ---
Then, from within Inori...
[13:24] ---
...Red Dragon appeared.
[13:34] ---
By the time we arrived, we found Red Dragon
burning down the village at Inori's command.
[13:42] ---
It was then I knew she had gone mad.
[13:53] ---
Red Dragon?!
[13:55] ---
Agito...!
[13:57] ---
How dare you kill Father and Mother?!
[14:01] ---
Finally remembered, did you?
[14:03] ---
The death of your parents, the king and queen,
three years ago wasn't because of Kouran...
[14:10] ---
I killed them!
[14:13] ---
The king was planning to bring
about a false state of peace
[14:17] ---
by offering Nil Kamui to D'natia and Kouran.
[14:20] ---
That is not the kind of country I desire!
[14:22] ---
That's why I killed the king!
[14:25] ---
Agito... It can't be...
[14:28] ---
But when I met Inori in that village,
she smiled at me...
[14:32] ---
That's how I found out that Inori
wasn't the same as before.
[14:38] ---
I won't forget this time...
[14:40] ---
Red Dragon... Kill Agito!
[14:46] ---
Ibuki! Kill Inori!
[14:48] ---
That is the only way to stop Red Dragon!
[14:51] ---
And then you will become known as
the king who defeated Red Dragon!
[14:58] ---
Agito!
[15:06] ---
Fugaku!
[15:10] ---
Ibuki... Hurry and use Red Dragon's power...!
[15:14] ---
If you still see me as your friend...
[15:17] ---
Of course you're my friend, Fugaku!
[15:19] ---
Offer my life, and stop Inori...!
[15:26] ---
Red Dragon! Grant me your power!
[15:34] ---
Red Dragon approved of me! That's why
your voice won't be heard, dear Brother!
[15:39] ---
Now, come with me.
[15:41] ---
Stop, Inori! Fugaku is going to...!
[15:43] ---
Hmm... What to do...
[15:46] ---
I can let him live as a Returned One,
since he is your precious friend...
[15:52] ---
Ibuki!
[15:54] ---
Or maybe not...
[15:58] ---
Fugaku...!
[16:06] ---
There you are.
[16:08] ---
Simeon and the others
are looking all over for you.
[16:12] ---
Did you do something?
[16:13] ---
Maybe, maybe not...
[16:15] ---
That aside, I heard that
our Líng Mǔ spoke with you.
[16:19] ---
Yeah...
[16:20] ---
She told me to leave Red Dragon alone.
[16:23] ---
I assume you're not going to listen...
[16:26] ---
To be honest, I don't care who defeats
Red Dragon as long as Ibuki's curse is lifted.
[16:32] ---
That being the case, wouldn't it
be better if we joined forces?
[16:35] ---
That would defeat the purpose...
[16:37] ---
That dragon's life is for my lord...
[16:44] ---
Our powers will cancel each other out
and we'll be on even ground.
[16:48] ---
Only this island will suffer.
[16:50] ---
We're not equals in the first place!
[16:55] ---
Now, Lou!
[16:56] ---
He still doesn't know of Ulrika's death.
[17:12] ---
Sweallow...!
[17:14] ---
So, Ulrika died...
[17:18] ---
Things will always break.
[17:21] ---
That fact is obvious to him.
[17:24] ---
That's why he sees things as precious,
and tries to stop them from breaking...
[17:27] ---
But there's no time for him to look back
on things which are already broken.
[17:32] ---
Contract seal, release...
[17:36] ---
It came...! It finally arrived!
[17:40] ---
What?! What's going on?!
[17:50] ---
Inori... What have you done?!
[17:53] ---
Today's going to be our day of independence!
[17:57] ---
And then, dear Brother and I
are going to bond as one!
[18:00] ---
What are you saying?!
[18:02] ---
A king can do anything they want, you know?
[18:09] ---
I see...
[18:11] ---
So, my old friend is being
controlled by Inori after all.
[18:17] ---
I will release my contract seal!
[18:20] ---
All those still alive, leave at once!
[18:22] ---
After all that talk about making me king...
[18:25] ---
You're such a liar, D'natia!
[18:27] ---
Contract seal, release!
[18:30] ---
Black Blade!
[18:35] ---
Is that it?
[18:36] ---
Wow, lame...
[18:38] ---
Simeon!
[18:42] ---
I'm the one who'll defeat Red Dragon...
[18:45] ---
Black Dragon!
[18:47] ---
I beseech you for your
divine protection twice over!
[18:52] ---
Two contract seals?!
[19:01] ---
Black Dragon!
[19:16] ---
Dear Brother...
[19:18] ---
Do I have to kill her...?
[19:21] ---
Red Dragon...
[19:23] ---
Red Dragon...!
[19:25] ---
It won't answer me...?!
[19:27] ---
Don't worry...
[19:29] ---
Red Dragon is right here.
[19:34] ---
Ibuki!
[19:37] ---
Eykha!
[19:38] ---
You don't have to dirty your hands!
[19:40] ---
I'm your sword!
[19:44] ---
Eykha!
[19:45] ---
You're not my sword!
[19:47] ---
You're the one I care for the most!
[20:00] ---
Red Dragon is inside me.
[20:03] ---
Neither I nor Red Dragon can be destroyed.
[20:08] ---
Ibuki...
[20:09] ---
Please listen to my song...
[20:13] ---
The Song of a Bonded One...
[20:15] ---
A magic that changes one's
life force into attack power...
[20:20] ---
So, she's prepared to die...
[21:03] ---
Red Dragon!
[21:12] ---
Red Dragon will continue to revive...
[21:16] ---
...so long as Inori is alive.
[21:19] ---
But no attacks can reach her because
of Red Dragon's divine protection...
[21:24] ---
This isn't good...
[21:26] ---
I will bring down Red Dragon for my lord...
[21:32] ---
Please use my life...
[21:35] ---
...Ibuki.
[21:37] ---
I can't hear Red Dragon's voice anymore...
[21:42] ---
But...!

[00:50] ---
Eykha, that's enough!
[01:02] ---
Eykha!!
[02:38] ---
Sorry I'm late!
[02:43] ---
Red Dragon can be defeated with this, right?
[02:47] ---
The dragon's claw...
[02:49] ---
Can we really count on this?
[02:52] ---
What do you mean?
[02:54] ---
The dragon will continue to revive
so long as Inori is around.
[02:58] ---
So even if we defeat the dragon
with this, there's no meaning to it.
[03:03] ---
Maybe...
[03:04] ---
...it's the key to restoring Red Dragon's sanity?
[03:07] ---
If so, the person to wield this should be
someone related to Red Dragon, not me.
[03:15] ---
But Ulrika sacrificed her life to
entrust the dragon's claw to you...
[03:21] ---
She's no longer with us...
[03:26] ---
There's only one person to whom
the dragon's claw should be entrusted.
[03:30] ---
Now, Lou! The dragon!
[03:32] ---
Let me savor the supreme life ruling this world!
[03:37] ---
Why, of course, my Lord!
[03:39] ---
All our travels have led up
to this very moment!
[03:54] ---
Th-This is...?!
[03:59] ---
The State Magic Territory
has shifted to that of Kouran!
[04:02] ---
Even Red Dragon will lose its power!
[04:05] ---
One! Two!
[04:13] ---
This... This is it, Lou!
[04:15] ---
Indeed, my Lord...
[04:19] ---
I'll kill you...!
[04:21] ---
All you outsiders tainted Nil Kamui!
[04:33] ---
Kouran residential district
[04:37] ---
What business do you have here,
Black Dragon Knight?!
[04:39] ---
Um, well, I came to...
[04:42] ---
Hold your fire, and open the way!
[04:45] ---
What's the matter, Sweallow?
[04:48] ---
Can the rumored Qilin Chuán
be mobilized now, Byakuei?
[04:53] ---
Where did you hear of that?!
[04:54] ---
It can't be deployed so easily!
[04:57] ---
Ka Grava and I came up with a plan.
[05:00] ---
A plan?
[05:04] ---
Either you choose to listen,
or I make you listen by force...
[05:09] ---
Which do you prefer?
[05:11] ---
Let me hear it.
[05:14] ---
Seventy-one!
[05:16] ---
Seventy-two!
[05:20] ---
You're wonderful, Lou!
[05:22] ---
You're the greatest user there is!
[05:26] ---
My Lord...!
[05:35] ---
Eykha...
[05:43] ---
Lou?!
[05:45] ---
Are you all right?!
[05:47] ---
I'm going to kill Red Dragon.
[05:50] ---
I won't let anyone get in my way!
[06:02] ---
So, it seems Lou changed the Magic Territory...
[06:05] ---
That's why I wanted to borrow the Qilin Chuán.
[06:08] ---
With the Magic Territory shifted to Kouran,
we can now face Red Dragon.
[06:15] ---
We know this is an
absurd request, but please...!
[06:20] ---
Líng Mǔ has ordered that the Qilin Chuán
be used for Kouran's escape.
[06:29] ---
But I can't abandon the citizens,
even if they are from another country...
[06:37] ---
Then...!
[06:38] ---
I, the Leader of Ten-Thousand, Byakuei...
[06:40] ---
...will disobey my country's
orders for the first time.
[06:47] ---
In the name of the heavenly Lord,
I request the dispatch of the Qilin Chuán!
[06:52] ---
Jí jí rú lǜ lìng!
[07:21] ---
Hmm... Is Byakuei planning to ram
Red Dragon with the Qilin Chuán?
[07:27] ---
Could it be...?
[07:28] ---
Ka Grava?
[07:33] ---
He must have a plan...
[07:36] ---
Eykha...
[07:39] ---
Where are you...?
[07:51] ---
Red Dragon, hear my words
as the Child of Contract!
[07:55] ---
Child of Contract...
[08:00] ---
The despair your sibling bears
is darker than dark itself,
[08:04] ---
and her flames of wrath are burning strong...
[08:07] ---
Even my consciousness is about
to be swallowed by her anger...
[08:18] ---
That's...?!
[08:20] ---
Ibuki...!
[08:21] ---
The dragon's claw...!
[08:28] ---
You're the one who should be using it!
[08:31] ---
I'm counting on you!
[08:33] ---
Will he understand the meaning of that claw?
[08:36] ---
All we can do now...
[08:39] ---
...is believe in him.
[08:44] ---
But even if Red Dragon regains its sanity,
in order to truly defeat Inori...
[08:50] ---
He has his equivalent exchanges.
[08:52] ---
There's Ka Grava, Lou, and me.
[08:55] ---
There are many on this battlefield
whom he holds precious.
[08:59] ---
What in the world are you saying...?
[09:10] ---
Please protect yourself with the Black Curtain!
[09:13] ---
I can only use that barrier once a day...
[09:15] ---
I'll save it till the very last!
[09:17] ---
Of all the times to be stingy!
[09:20] ---
Unbelievable!
[09:23] ---
Ibuki, I know you're going to
struggle now and in the future...
[09:28] ---
Let me help you just a bit more...
[09:32] ---
We are friends, after all...
[09:35] ---
Val...?!
[09:36] ---
Eykha!
[09:38] ---
Eykha...!
[09:40] ---
Please, answer me...!
[09:43] ---
Eykha!
[09:47] ---
My travels began when I met Eykha...
[09:51] ---
You're not my sword...
[09:53] ---
You're precious to me.
[09:55] ---
So, I won't let you die, Eykha...!
[10:04] ---
I-Ibuki...
[10:07] ---
Eykha!
[10:11] ---
My life is about to end...
[10:16] ---
So, I want to use it for you, Ibuki...
[10:21] ---
I won't let you become a victim of all this!
[10:24] ---
Wait for me here...
[10:25] ---
Ibuki...
[10:29] ---
Red Dragon...
[10:31] ---
I...
[10:35] ---
Qilin Chuán | The 'Qilin Chuán' is Kouran's
final weapon brought in to defend Nil Kamui.
[10:44] ---
Hello there, dear Brother...
[10:47] ---
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you...
[10:50] ---
But let's stop all this already...
[10:52] ---
This isn't the kind of thing a king does.
[10:55] ---
A king is allowed to do
such things, dear Brother...
[11:00] ---
Inori!
[11:02] ---
If you die and become a Returned One,
[11:04] ---
you'll go back to being the kind,
dear Brother I used to like...
[11:09] ---
That's right! Why didn't
I figure that out before?!
[11:12] ---
Isn't that right, my Red Dragon?
[11:21] ---
Incinerate him!
[11:27] ---
Ka Grava...!
[11:32] ---
I'm pretty sturdy, you know?
[11:39] ---
I can't control it!
[11:40] ---
Wh-What are you doing, Sweallow?!
[11:43] ---
Whatever I use breaks.
[11:46] ---
But at the moment it does,
I can draw out all of its power!
[11:50] ---
That doesn't change, even for warships.
[11:52] ---
M-My clan spent 100 years building this ship!
[11:57] ---
If it breaks, make it again!
[11:59] ---
Wha--?!
[12:00] ---
New things are only born from destruction!
[12:03] ---
You're planning to expend it
just for that one moment?!
[12:07] ---
That's the sin we humans carry...
[12:12] ---
I see...
[12:13] ---
So that's what my curse is about...
[12:20] ---
Damn it!
[12:22] ---
I'm going to punch you later!
[12:23] ---
Be ready!
[12:24] ---
Byakuei...!
[12:27] ---
I believe we need to survive in order for
you to be properly punched, Sir Sweallow.
[12:33] ---
Meryl...
[12:45] ---
Before the Black Dragon Knight
gets in our way,
[12:48] ---
let me drink Red Dragon's life dry, Lou.
[12:52] ---
No, my Lord...
[12:55] ---
Sweallow...!
[12:59] ---
Wait, Lou!
[13:00] ---
Now is the time to kill Red Dragon!
[13:03] ---
Now is the time to defeat him!
[13:08] ---
Lou?!
[13:09] ---
What is she up to?!
[13:10] ---
At this rate...!
[13:21] ---
Hey there, Lou.
[13:23] ---
--What?!
--Huh?!
[13:24] ---
I thought you were going
to defeat Red Dragon.
[13:27] ---
First, I'm going to kill you.
[13:30] ---
My life's purpose would
be denied if I let you be!
[13:35] ---
Well, that's quite an honor.
[13:37] ---
But you're a bit too late.
[13:42] ---
Sweallow...!
[13:44] ---
Contract seal, release!
[13:46] ---
Eat this!
[14:05] ---
Sir Sweallow...!
[14:09] ---
Sweallow...!
[14:11] ---
Lou!
[14:12] ---
Out of my way!
[14:14] ---
Black Dragon! I call upon the Black Curtain!
[14:29] ---
Sir Sweallow...!
[14:52] ---
Now then...
[14:54] ---
It's my turn, Ibuki.
[14:57] ---
So you were planning this all along...?!
[15:00] ---
Your words should reach Red Dragon now.
[15:08] ---
What are you saying?
[15:12] ---
Red Dragon is immortal!
[15:22] ---
Val! Eykha!
[15:24] ---
Why...?!
[15:27] ---
I want to be your sword until the very end...
[15:32] ---
No! That won't do!
[15:37] ---
Wait... Maybe...
[15:51] ---
Answer my voice, Red Dragon!
[15:54] ---
Recover your soul as Nil Kamui's guardian!
[16:05] ---
So, you brought me back
from my state of madness...
[16:08] ---
You have my gratitude.
[16:10] ---
You truly are the king of Nil Kamui.
[16:16] ---
What is your desire?
[16:21] ---
I traveled long and far so that
I could return to you this curse.
[16:25] ---
Curse...?
[16:27] ---
You wish to return to me the
power granted by our contract?
[16:31] ---
No... Right now, I need this power.
[16:35] ---
That's why I'll live with this curse.
[16:40] ---
But I want to sever this sad chain of events...
[16:43] ---
If so, offer me an equivalence...
[16:48] ---
My equivalence...
[16:54] ---
I understand...
[16:56] ---
I will offer you the life of
the one most precious to me...
[17:01] ---
But I want you to promise me one thing.
[17:08] ---
How dare that monster...?!
[17:11] ---
Red Dragon, burn them to ashes!
[17:16] ---
What's the matter?!
[17:22] ---
Throughout our travels,
[17:24] ---
Lou, Ka Grava, Sweallow, and Eykha
have sacrificed many precious things...
[17:33] ---
Losing things made us move forward.
[17:37] ---
But I didn't want to lose anything...
[17:40] ---
I tried not to take anyone's life
or lose anything precious...
[17:46] ---
But that only meant I continued to live while
taking something precious from someone else.
[17:54] ---
I decided...
[17:55] ---
...which friend to kill, and in turn,
what was to be protected.
[18:02] ---
Now do it, Ibuki!
[18:06] ---
I will offer Eykha's life to Red Dragon!
[18:12] ---
Ibuki!
[18:13] ---
Eykha...
[18:16] ---
I understand...
[18:17] ---
S-Stop, dear Brother!
[18:22] ---
Red Dragon! Destroy them!
[18:32] ---
Listen to me, Eykha...
[18:35] ---
I'm going to do something horrible to you...
[18:37] ---
You probably won't forgive me for this...
[18:40] ---
Ibuki...
[18:45] ---
Even so, I will protect you...
[19:00] ---
Inori, I promise you...!
[19:02] ---
No...
[19:04] ---
I won't repeat the sorrow you went through!
[19:07] ---
No...
[19:08] ---
I'll make a country without sorrow!
[19:11] ---
Dear Brother...
[19:12] ---
Please, no...!
[19:23] ---
Good night, Inori...
[19:28] ---
Dear... Brother...
[19:36] ---
Not a bad ending at all...
[19:39] ---
I will reward you for your work.
[19:43] ---
Uh, if you mean lifting my curse,
don't worry about it.
[19:47] ---
Oh?
[19:48] ---
This "curse" of creating and breaking
is something we humans bear.
[19:54] ---
I want to see what the
future holds for this curse.
[20:03] ---
Sir Sweallow...!
[20:07] ---
Well, it looks like Black Dragon
still wants me to live...
[20:17] ---
You... lowlife...!
[20:20] ---
Ouch...!
[20:22] ---
Lowlife! Lowlife! Lowlife!
[20:25] ---
Oww!
[20:49] ---
Looks like we can have fun again, Lou...
[20:52] ---
Yes, my Lord...
[21:00] ---
One month later... | Shuka Government
[21:04] ---
Our spiritual mother has approved
of Nil Kamui's new system.
[21:09] ---
We were finally able to receive
approval from our country as well.
[21:13] ---
Now we can focus on the restoration.
[21:15] ---
Then, is it final that both D'natia and Kouran
officially approve of the new king?
[21:22] ---
There are no objections from the council.
[21:25] ---
Now then, let us bring in the new king-to-be.
[21:29] ---
Uh, I'm sorry...
[21:32] ---
Ibuki asked that we delay
the crowning ceremony.
[21:44] ---
I will offer you the life of the one
most precious to me... Eykha.
[21:50] ---
But I want you to promise me one thing.
[21:52] ---
I want you to give a part of
Val's remaining life to Eykha.
[21:57] ---
Can you do that?
[21:59] ---
Yes.
[22:00] ---
But that would mean that two lives
would come together as one anew.
[22:07] ---
Even if she gains a new life, her soul, memory,
and mind will not be the same as before.
[22:16] ---
Are you all right with that?
[22:19] ---
Both Eykha and Val have little time to live.
[22:22] ---
I'm going to protect Eykha...
[22:26] ---
...by offering her as a sacrifice.
[22:28] ---
Even if Eykha becomes someone completely
different from the Eykha I know...
[22:33] ---
...I want her to live!
[22:40] ---
Last of the Dragon Shrine Maidens...
[22:44] ---
I have given you a new body and soul...
[22:51] ---
I...
[22:54] ---
...feel like I need to see someone...
[22:57] ---
If so, then go...
[23:08] ---
I'll...
[23:18] ---
...travel with you again...
