[00:07] Demon King
If you fail to stop me, the world
will come to an end, Great Hero.
[00:18] Blade
So this is all I've got?
[00:42] Blade
Enough with the cheap moves.
[00:44] Blade
Let's settle things once and for all.
[00:46] Blade
You and me, going all out.
[00:49] Demon King
Very well.
[00:50] Demon King
I couldn't ask for more.
[00:59] Blade
Dragon Series, Fifth Sword.
[01:00] Demon King
Satanic power at full force.
[01:06] Demon King
Be reduced to ashes!
[01:09] Blade
Dragon Annihilator!
[01:47] Blade
It's finally over...
[02:14] Student 1
Good morning!
[02:14] Student 2
Oh, you're here.
[02:16] Student K
Good morning!
[02:17] Student A
Good morning!
[02:18] Blade
Oh! They're greeting each other!
[02:20] Blade
Is that what friends do?!
[02:22] Student E
Good morning!
[02:22] Student B
Morning. You're here early.
[02:25] Blade
I see! This is what normal people do!
[02:30] Blade
All right!
[02:31] Blade
Starting today, I'm going to make friends
and live life as an ordinary person!

SIGN Earnest
[02:45] Blade
Okay! Time to make some friends!
[02:48] Blade
Good morning!
[02:49] Blade
Good morning!
[02:50] Blade
Good morning!
[02:51] Blade
Good morning!
[02:52] Blade
Good morning! Good morning!
[02:53] Yessica
Pretty funny student we've got here.
[02:56] Blade
Good morning! Good morning!
[02:56] Claire
Do you think he's a new transfer?
[02:59] Kassim
Whoa, he's coming this way!
[03:01] Blade
I'm Blade!
[03:03] Claire
Ah, yes.
[03:04] Claire
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[03:06] Blade
I'm Blade!
[03:07] Kassim
You sure are a weirdo.
[03:09] Kassim
I'm Kassim.
[03:10] Clay
My name's Clay. Nice to meet you.
[03:12] Yessica
I'm Yessica.
[03:13] Claire
Oh, um... I'm Claire.
[03:15] Blade
I see!
[03:17] Blade
I'm here to make some friends!
[03:19] Claire
If you don't mind, would you
like to be friends with us?
[03:22] Blade
I did it!
[03:23] Blade
I've got four whole friends now!
[03:25] Blade
If this keeps up, I could make ten friends...
[03:26] Blade
No, hold that thought!
[03:28] Blade
Even 100 friends doesn't sound so far-fetched!
[03:32] Claire
If you want to make 100 friends,
you'll have to befriend the whole student body.
[03:36] Earnest
What are all of you up to?
[03:38] Earnest
Why are you making a commotion
in the middle of the hallway?
[03:42] Yessica
Oh, no!
[03:42] Earnest
You are all students at the
prestigious Rosewood Academy.
[03:45] Kassim
That's Earnest Flaming.
[03:46] Earnest
You should strive to always follow the
rules and behave in an orderly manner.
[03:47] Kassim
She's the top student in this school,
so everyone calls her the Empress.
[03:51] Blade
I'm Blade!
[03:55] Earnest
Who are you?
[03:56] Earnest
I haven't seen you around here.
[03:58] Claire
U-Um, Lady Earnest...
[04:00] Earnest
No need for the title!
[04:02] Claire
Well, it seems Blade just
transferred into the school...
[04:05] Earnest
A new student?
[04:07] Earnest
This academy only admits those who aspire
to be heroes who protect this world!
[04:13] Earnest
There's no way they'd permit
such a late admission!
[04:14] Blade
I don't really care about being a hero.
[04:16] Blade
I'm just here to make some friends.
[04:18] Earnest
You don't really care?!
[04:19] Earnest
What halfhearted resolve you have!
[04:25] Blade
Oh, almost forgot!
[04:26] Blade
I need to go to the headmaster's office!
[04:28] Earnest
What?!
[04:29] Blade
Can you show me the way to
the headmaster's office?
[04:32] Group
Go!
[04:35] Earnest
Why'd it have to be me?
[04:39] Earnest
This is Earnest Flaming.
[04:41] Earnest
I'm here with a brat who lost his
way and was on the verge of tears.
[04:45] King
You may enter.
[04:47] Earnest
Pardon me.
[04:56] Earnest
Wh-What brings you here, Sir?!
[04:59] Blade
I'm here!
[05:01] Earnest
Y-You idiot!
[05:03] Earnest
Don't you have any idea
who you stand before?!
[05:06] Blade
Sure I do.
[05:07] Earnest
Please forgive his rudeness,
Your Majesty the King!
[05:12] King
I've heard all about you from the
previous headmaster, Miss Earnest.
[05:16] King
It seems you have quite the excellent record.
[05:18] Earnest
O-Oh, no. I have a long way to go...
[05:20] Earnest
Excuse me, "previous headmaster"?
[05:23] King
Indeed.
[05:24] King
As of today, I will be acting
as the new headmaster here.
[05:28] Earnest
Your Majesty is?!
[05:29] Earnest
Why, I hear Your Majesty is
quite the accomplished warrior!
[05:32] Earnest
To be instructed by Your Majesty himself!
[05:35] Earnest
I find myself lacking words to
express my joy at the sheer honor!
[05:38] Earnest
I could never have imagined I would get
a chance to speak with Your Majesty!
[05:41] Earnest
How can I put this?
[05:43] Earnest
Oh, I really am so truly struck with awe!
[05:43] King
That's enough.
[05:45] Earnest
Huh?
[05:46] King
You may take your leave.
[05:48] King
I must speak with him in private.
[05:57] Earnest
What's the deal with that boy?!
[05:59] Earnest
He's so friendly with His Majesty!
[06:01] Earnest
I don't get it!
[06:01] Blade
Hey! Thanks to you,
I've gotten on her bad side!
[06:04] King
What could be the reason?
[06:05] Blade
Don't give me that!
[06:06] Blade
And what are you doing here, anyway?!
[06:09] King
You see, Blade...
[06:11] King
I want you to regain your powers as a hero.
[06:15] Blade
I want to be an ordinary person!
[06:17] Blade
Normal as can be!
[06:18] King
The students here are really something.
[06:21] King
They should serve well
in your rehabilitation.
[06:24] Blade
You're not listening, old man.
[06:25] King
I plan on making sweeping changes
to the curriculum, as well.
[06:29] King
My predecessor had a bit of a lenient streak.
[06:32] King
We're trying to nurture heroes here.
[06:35] King
Great heroes like you—
[06:37] Blade
There's no need for that!
[06:39] Blade
The Demon King's gone now.
[06:41] King
I received reports of the Great Hero
and the Demon King trading blows,
[06:45] King
resulting in mutual annihilation
of their powers.
[06:47] Blade
That's right.
[06:48] King
But I have faith!
[06:51] King
The Great Hero's powers will be resurrected!
[06:54] King
And that's because you are the Great Hero!
[06:59] Blade
This old man's gone off the deep end.
[07:13] Blade
Hey!
[07:13] Earnest
Why are you here?
[07:15] Earnest
This is the advanced class!
[07:17] Blade
I took the exam for the lower classes,
but I was told to come here.
[07:22] Earnest
Did you bribe someone?!
[07:24] Blade
What?
[07:25] Earnest
Did you gain back-door
admission into this school?!
[07:27] Earnest
You must have cheated somehow to be
placed straight into the advanced class!
[07:31] Earnest
Besides, this isn't the kind of academy
that admits halfhearted people like you!
[07:37] Blade
Don't call me halfhearted!
[07:38] Blade
I'm dead serious.
[07:40] Blade
About making 100 friends here.
[07:42] Earnest
What?
[07:43] Blade
I'm Blade!
[07:44] Blade
Let's be friends!
[07:45] Scientist
What?
[07:46] Blade
I'm Blade!
[07:47] Priestess
Wh-What do you want?
[07:48] Blade
I'm Blade!
[07:50] Blade
Let's be friends!
[07:51] Blade
I'm Blade!
[07:52] Blade
I'm Blade!
[07:53] Blade
Let's be friends!
[07:53] Earnest
Listen to me!
[07:56] Blade
I'm listening.
[07:59] Earnest
D-Don't pat my head!
[08:05] Blade
Whoa.
[08:07] Sophie
The instructor has asked
everyone to assemble.
[08:10] Earnest
I'll be right there.
[08:11] Blade
I'm Blade!
[08:14] Earnest
He's asking for your name.
[08:15] Sophie
Is that a command?
[08:17] Earnest
She's always like this.
[08:18] Blade
I'm Blade!
[08:20] Earnest
You need to listen when people are talking.
[08:22] Sophie
Sophie.
[08:24] Blade
I see!
[08:26] Blade
I'm Blade!
[08:27] Blade
Nice to meet you!
[08:29] Earnest
Instructor!
[08:31] Instructor
Wh-What is it?
[08:32] Earnest
I'd like to test the
transfer student's ability.
[08:36] Instructor
Well, that wasn't in today's lesson plan...
[08:40] Earnest
You don't mind, right?
[08:42] Instructor
Go ahead...
[08:49] Blade
That's made of enchanted metal, right?
[08:51] Earnest
And what if it is?
[08:53] Earnest
Just so you know,
[08:54] Earnest
simply slicing through it is something
all the advanced students can do.
[08:59] Earnest
Your job is to prove yourself
to everyone here.
[09:01] Earnest
If you can't, I'll have you admit to your
illicit entry and leave the academy.
[09:05] Earnest
The advanced class is on
a whole different level.
[09:08] Blade
How many levels are we talking?
[09:09] Earnest
Huh? W-Well... two...
[09:12] Earnest
No, three!
[09:13] Earnest
It's three whole levels different!
[09:16] Blade
I see. Three levels, huh?
[09:18] Blade
Then, Second Sword should do.
[09:24] Leonard
Wait, the shape of his fighting spirit...
[09:27] Leonard
Dragon Series?!
[09:28] Earnest
Dragon Series? Wait!
[09:38] Blade
Dragon Eater!
[09:56] Sophie
Cough.
[09:58] Blade
Hmm... Meh.
[10:06] Earnest
Blade.
[10:08] Earnest
Who in the world... are you?
[10:20] Blade
I-I'm ordinary!
[10:23] Blade
Just your exceedingly average,
ordinary person!
[10:27] Earnest
Ordinary... Ordinary?!
[10:38] Boy Student
No, the best thing they
serve is their hamburger!
[10:43] Blade
Hey!
[10:46] Earnest
Seriously, what's your deal?
[10:48] Blade
Like I said, I'm just ordinary.
[10:50] Girl Student 1
And that's why she messed up!
[10:52] Girl Student 2
What, for real?
[10:53] Blade
Hey! There are seats here!
[10:58] Blade
Hey! Over here!
[11:04] Blade
What's gotten into them?
[11:05] Earnest
This table is basically reserved for me.
[11:09] Blade
Wait... are you being bullied?
[11:12] Blade
You can talk to me about it.
[11:14] Earnest
You're a real moron.
[11:16] Earnest
Everyone's scared of me.
[11:20] Blade
Scared of you? Why?
[11:27] Blade
Whoa, what is this?!
[11:30] Blade
I'm not sure what it is, but it's great!
[11:33] Earnest
Huh? It's just curry.
[11:35] Earnest
Tonkatsu curry.
[11:36] Blade
So it's called tonkatsu curry?!
[11:38] Blade
Tonkatsu curry is super amazing!
[11:40] Blade
The guy who invented it was a real genius!
[11:42] Earnest
I take back what I said about you.
[11:45] Blade
What was that again?
[11:46] Earnest
I mean when I accused you
of illicit entry here!
[11:49] Blade
Did you say that?
[11:50] Earnest
I sure did!
[11:51] Earnest
It's been bothering me,
and you don't even remember?!
[11:56] Blade
Since I don't remember,
you shouldn't let it bother you.
[11:59] Earnest
I admit you've got a bit of talent.
[12:03] Earnest
So, well...
[12:06] Earnest
I'm sorry.
[12:08] Blade
Did you say something?
[12:10] Earnest
I swear! You're so...
[12:13] Blade
You have my thanks.
[12:15] Blade
You've done so much to help me.
[12:17] Earnest
Wh-What's this all of a sudden?!
[12:19] Blade
I'm a new transfer, right?
[12:21] Blade
I thought I wouldn't be
able to make any friends.
[12:23] Earnest
Huh? Friends? Who?
[12:28] Earnest
Wait, m-me?!
[12:30] Blade
Yeah.
[12:31] Blade
Look, we're eating lunch together.
[12:34] Blade
That makes us pals!
[12:36] Earnest
W-Well, I don't mind being your friend...
[12:41] Yessica
That was easy.
[12:42] Kassim
The Empress is so quick to fall.
[13:00] Earnest
Seriously, what's with him?
[13:02] Earnest
Eating together makes you friends?
[13:05] Earnest
How absurd.
[13:07] Earnest
Friends, he said...
[13:14] Earnest
Yay!
[13:15] Earnest
My very first friend!
[13:35] Asmodeus
Surrender yourself to me.
[13:49] Asmodeus
Destroy! Slash! Burn!
[13:52] Earnest
Shut up!
[13:54] Earnest
I'm the next head of the Flaming family!
[13:57] Earnest
I won't give in to the likes of you!
[14:13] Earnest
Leonard, take this fight seriously!
[14:15] Leonard
Dear me.
[14:16] Leonard
We may be simulating a real fight,
[14:18] Leonard
but I'd rather not wield
my lance against a lady!
[14:25] Blade
Wow! So awesome!
[14:27] Leonard
Come! It's time for this show to begin!
[14:41] Leonard
How merciless.
[14:43] Leonard
It seems I've lost.
[14:45] Leonard
Earnest?
[14:57] Magical Girl
The Empress has been kind of scary lately.
[15:01] Earnest
Next!
[15:10] Sophie
If you continue this...
[15:34] Sophie
I admit defeat.
[15:38] Earnest
You're up next, Blade!
[15:41] Blade
Huh, me?
[15:42] Earnest
That Dragon Series of yours
is no big deal if I dodge it!
[15:46] Blade
I mean, I don't mind.
[15:49] Blade
But will you be all right in that condition?
[15:52] Earnest
Shut up!
[15:53] Earnest
I'll be fine.
[15:56] Earnest
Let's go!
[16:01] Earnest
Oh, no!
[16:04] Blade
Hey, Earnest!
[16:14] Doctor
There's nothing I can do.
[16:15] Blade
Don't say that!
[16:17] Blade
Make her better, like you did for me!
[16:19] Doctor
I can heal diseases and injuries,
even from the brink of death.
[16:22] Doctor
But spells and curses are
outside of my expertise.
[16:27] Earnest
Where am I?
[16:30] Blade
You passed out.
[16:32] Blade
Don't you remember?
[16:33] Earnest
I...
[16:36] Earnest
Don't tell me...
[16:39] Blade
Just calm down!
[16:40] Earnest
Did I... um... do something?
[16:43] Earnest
Something really awful?
[16:46] Blade
Really awful?
[16:47] Blade
No, you just suddenly fell unconscious.
[16:49] Blade
Oh, it was really awful carrying you here.
[16:52] Earnest
Y-You dummy!
[16:53] Earnest
I'm not that heavy!
[16:56] Doctor
You should rest a little longer.
[16:58] Doctor
That affliction of yours...
[16:59] Earnest
Stop it!
[17:00] Earnest
I feel better now.
[17:02] Doctor
No. Get back in bed.
[17:03] Earnest
Out of my way.
[17:04] Doctor
I'm not budging.
[17:06] Blade
It seems like Earnest feels okay,
so why not let her go?
[17:10] Blade
I'll keep an eye on her instead.
[17:12] Doctor
Fine.
[17:13] Doctor
That's a promise.
[17:17] Student
Seriously?
[17:22] Earnest
I can walk on my own.
[17:24] Blade
You can lean on me, you know.
[17:27] Blade
We're friends, after all.
[17:29] Earnest
Don't tell anyone what you
heard in the infirmary.
[17:48] Blade
Looks like I owe that old man now.
[17:51] Blade
Not that I mind.
[18:09] Blade
There we go.
[18:11] Blade
Rosewood Academy's data...
[18:14] Blade
So that demon sword's name is Asmodeus?
[18:17] Blade
Dunno why, but it gives me the creeps.
[18:23] Blade
Quiet down.
[18:28] Blade
I see now.
[18:30] Earnest
Why do you want to talk in private?
[18:33] Earnest
Are you trying to threaten me?
[18:35] Blade
Huh?
[18:36] Blade
Why would I threaten you?
[18:38] Earnest
Maybe you want my spot as top student.
[18:40] Blade
I couldn't care less about that.
[18:42] Blade
What's more important is you.
[18:44] Blade
I'm interested in you.
[18:46] Earnest
What?!
[18:46] Earnest
Wait, that's, well...
[18:48] Earnest
I said we could be friends,
but anything more is...
[18:52] Blade
I know the secret behind your sword.
[18:58] Blade
That sword has its own will,
[19:01] Blade
and grants its owner tremendous power.
[19:03] Blade
But you don't have full ownership of it.
[19:09] Blade
How did that happen?
[19:11] Earnest
When I was six years old,
[19:13] Earnest
I unknowingly laid my hands on a cursed
demon sword in the Flaming family's custody.
[19:19] Earnest
It tried to take over my body
[19:22] Earnest
and the demon sword's will flowed through me,
hungering for blood and carnage.
[19:25] Earnest
Ever since, I've been
holding back those urges.
[19:29] Earnest
As soon as I let my guard down,
I can hear it still, to this day.
[19:33] Earnest
The voice of Asmodeus,
begging me to let it slash and burn.
[19:38] Blade
But it hasn't taken over.
[19:40] Earnest
No.
[19:41] Earnest
Thanks to my stubbornness.
[19:43] Blade
There is a way.
[19:44] Earnest
I know that much.
[19:46] Earnest
I need the demon sword to
acknowledge me as its owner, right?
[19:51] Earnest
But I can't do that.
[19:52] Earnest
What if I fail?
[19:54] Earnest
Then a bloodthirsty demon would come to life!
[19:56] Blade
It'll be okay.
[19:57] Earnest
What?!
[19:58] Earnest
How can you say something so irresponsible?!
[20:00] Earnest
If the demon comes to life...
[20:01] Blade
Like I said, it'll be okay.
[20:04] Earnest
What?
[20:05] Blade
If that happens, I'll cut it down.
[20:07] Earnest
That's...
[20:12] Blade
Don't think I can do it?
[20:15] Earnest
I think you can.
[20:17] Blade
So what's the problem?
[20:19] Earnest
Nothing at all.
[20:27] Earnest
Demon Sword Asmodeus!
[20:29] Earnest
I am Earnest Flaming.
[20:31] Earnest
I beseech thee to form a pact with me!
[20:37] Earnest
Obey thy oath from days bygone,
[20:39] Earnest
and receive my being within thy own!
[20:41] Earnest
Try my strength.
[20:43] Earnest
See if thou can consume me!
[20:47] Asmodeus
So be it.
[20:49] Blade
I have faith in you, Earnest.
[20:51] Earnest
I have faith as well,
[20:53] Earnest
that you'll bring this all to an end,
no matter what happens.
[21:05] Earnest
So you must be Asmodeus.
[21:07] Earnest
I'll keep it brief.
[21:09] Earnest
Submit yourself to me.
[21:11] Asmodeus
I am fire!
[21:13] Asmodeus
I am power!
[21:15] Asmodeus
I am pure violence that
reigns over all destruction!
[21:21] Earnest
Looks like it means a fight, then.
[21:24] Earnest
Bring it on!
[21:38] Earnest
Destroy, destroy, destroy!
[21:40] Earnest
Kill, kill, kill!
[21:42] Earnest
Burn, burn, burn!
[21:46] Earnest
Oh, what fun!
[21:48] Earnest
I don't want to hold back!
[21:50] Earnest
Not when there's so much
to destroy around me!
[21:53] Earnest
My house, my family, my friends!
[22:02] Earnest
That's right.
[22:03] Earnest
I can fight now, thanks to him.
[22:05] Earnest
Even if I fail, I know he'll take it down.
[22:09] Earnest
Which is why I'll fight,
[22:11] Earnest
of my own will.
[22:12] Earnest
For the sake of my own pride!
[22:16] Earnest
My name...
[22:19] Earnest
My name is Earnest!
[22:21] Earnest
Earnest Flaming!
[22:52] Earnest
I made it back.
[22:56] Blade
Welcome back.
[23:07] Claire
What, really?
[23:08] Yessica
Yeah! And then Kassim was like...
[23:10] Earnest
Good morning.
[23:23] Earnest
Does it look weird on me?
[23:26] Claire
You look quite splendid!
[23:28] Yessica
Uh-huh!

[00:18] Earnest
Hey, Blade!
[00:20] Earnest
The least you could do is draw your sword!
[00:22] Earnest
Don't disrespect your opponents
by looking away during a fight!
[00:28] Blade
You look a little different.
[00:32] Earnest
D-Do I?
[00:33] Earnest
In what way?
[00:42] Blade
Oh!
[00:43] Blade
Ah!
[00:45] Blade
No idea!
[00:50] Leonard
Take notice when a lady
changes up her hairstyle!
[00:52] Blade
Huh? Oh, was that it?
[00:55] Earnest
It's not like I wanted you to notice...
[00:59] Leonard
Oh yeah, Blade.
[01:01] Earnest
If you've got time to horse around
with the likes of Leonard,
[01:04] Earnest
can you also keep an eye on that girl?
[01:05] Leonard
The likes of me?!
[01:07] Blade
That girl?
[01:10] Blade
Ah, you mean Sophie?
[01:12] Leonard
The likes of...?! How heartless!
[01:15] Blade
Why's she by herself?
[01:16] Leonard
Ignored!
[01:17] Earnest
That's how she always is.
[01:19] Earnest
Even though she obeys any
commands she's given.
[01:22] Blade
Is that so?
[01:23] Earnest
Yeah.
[01:24] Earnest
But I've never seen her take
any spontaneous action.
[01:28] Earnest
And yet, she voluntarily told you her name.
[01:31] Earnest
That's why I'm leaving her to you, Blade.
[01:34] Blade
Got it.
[01:36] Earnest
You need to build up more stamina!
[01:38] Earnest
Run ten kilometers every morning
for the rest of your life!
[01:43] Leonard
My whole life?
[01:46] Blade
Yo! I'm Blade!
[01:48] Sophie
I know.
[01:50] Blade
Earnest asked me to watch over your training!
[01:54] Sophie
Is that a command?
[01:55] Blade
Well, that's not what I meant.
[01:58] Blade
I guess it's true that she asked me...
[02:05] Blade
I'm here because I want to help you.
[02:09] Sophie
But... this is all I can use.
[02:14] Blade
Why barehanded?
[02:15] Sophie
This is all I was taught.
[02:18] Blade
In that case, I'll teach
you other ways to fight.
[02:20] Sophie
Is that a command?
[02:22] Blade
Nope.
[02:24] Blade
I want to lend you a hand as your friend!
[02:27] Blade
It's not a command,
so I won't force you into it.
[02:31] Blade
Are you against the idea?
[02:36] Sophie
No, I'm not.
[02:40] Blade
It's settled, then!
[02:41] Blade
Okay, first off...
[02:43] Instructor
All right, that's it for
today's practical training!
[02:47] Earnest
Huh?! Why?!
[02:49] Blade
We were just getting started!
[02:50] Earnest
It's because you took your sweet time!
[02:52] Blade
No way...
SIGN Episode 2
SIGN Sophie
[04:39] Sophie
I can't cut through it.
[04:41] Blade
Channel your fighting spirit into the sword.
[04:43] Blade
You have no problem channeling
it into your fists, right?
[04:46] Blade
Then think of the sword as
an extension of your body.
[04:52] Blade
Like this.
[04:55] Sophie
Understood.
[05:06] Sophie
I managed to cut them.
[05:08] Blade
You sure learn fast!
[05:09] Blade
If you can handle a sword like this,
I think you're set.
[05:13] Blade
Let's call it a day.
[05:15] Sophie
Can I beat her now?
[05:17] Blade
Eh?
[05:19] Blade
Who do you mean?
[05:20] Sophie
Earnest.
[05:22] Blade
Well...
[05:23] Blade
I don't know about that.
[05:25] Blade
Getting to her level won't be so easy...
[05:28] Sophie
I see.
[05:31] Blade
Huh?
[05:36] Blade
Huh?
[05:38] Sophie
This is stronger.
[05:41] Blade
Guess you're right.
[05:43] Blade
By the way, I can't move.
[05:46] Sophie
It wouldn't be a good mount position
if the opponent could move freely.
[05:52] Blade
Good point.
[05:54] Sophie
I want you to teach me
something else tomorrow.
[05:58] Blade
Yeah, sure thing!
[06:01] King
How's your school life going?
[06:05] Blade
I made some friends.
[06:07] King
I'm glad to hear that.
[06:09] King
You've been active as a hero
since you were three years old.
[06:12] King
Even I have someone I consider my best friend,
while you, on the other hand...
[06:16] Blade
Well, sorry!
[06:18] King
I really am so glad.
[06:22] King
So, who exactly is it you call your friend?
[06:26] Blade
There's more than one...
[06:28] Blade
But recently, I guess... Sophie.
[06:30] King
Oh...
[06:32] King
I should have known you'd
take an interest in her.
[06:37] King
She's a strong one, wouldn't you say?
[06:39] Blade
Yeah, she's strong.
[06:42] King
Even so, she's still incomplete.
[06:45] Blade
What?
[06:46] King
After all, the goal was for her
completed form to surpass you.
[06:51] Blade
What are you talking about?!
[06:53] King
You didn't befriend her because you knew?
[06:57] King
About the Artificial Great Hero Project?
[07:00] Blade
Artificial Great Hero?
[07:03] King
If you, the Great Hero, can exist,
[07:06] King
it should also be possible to
create a being just like you.
[07:09] King
That was the idea proposed
by a certain group.
[07:12] King
With ancient forbidden
knowledge that had been lost,
[07:15] King
they took a human who showed
aptitude as a template,
[07:17] King
and tried to artificially manifest
the Great Hero's powers.
[07:22] King
What's more, they duplicated
that original human
[07:25] King
in order to perform countless
experiments and adjustments.
[07:29] Blade
Hold on...
[07:30] Blade
Hold on just one minute!
[07:31] Blade
Duplicated?
[07:32] Blade
I thought we were talking about Sophie!
[07:35] King
Her real name is Sophitia Femto.
[07:39] King
Femto meaning "twelve."
[07:41] King
That is to say, she's the twelfth iteration
of the human named Sophitia.
[07:47] King
As an experimental subject, she was
treated for so long as simply an object.
[07:53] Blade
Hey, don't tell me that those experiments...
[07:56] King
No need for concern!
[07:58] King
I've completely put an
end to that organization.
[08:03] King
If it wasn't your doing,
you should have said so.
[08:05] King
When I took her in, I told
her that she was free now.
[08:10] King
She responded with...
[08:12] (Flashback) Sophie
Is that a command?
[08:16] King
I expect that hasn't changed.
[08:24] Blade
Sophie was robbed of a normal life
for the sake of creating a Great Hero.
[08:32] Blade
It's my fault.
[08:34] Blade
It's all because I exist.
[08:37] Blade
In that case...
[08:38] Blade
I'll make sure Sophie gets
her normal life back!
[08:42] Blade
But...
[08:43] Blade
What is normal, anyway?
[08:47] Doctor
Oh, what's wrong?
[08:49] Doctor
You're not scheduled for
your check-up just yet.
[08:52] Doctor
Did you want me to look you over?
[08:54] Doctor
In that case, take off your clothes.
[08:56] Doctor
Take them off right now.
[08:57] Blade
Please tell me!
[08:58] Blade
What does being normal mean?
[09:00] Blade
What kinds of things do
kids my age normally do?!
[09:03] Doctor
So you're finally interested
in exploring that subject.
[09:06] Doctor
I don't mind.
[09:08] Doctor
I'll teach you everything there is
to know about the vigor of youth—
[09:12] Blade
Got it!
[09:13] Blade
So it's youth!
[09:16] Leonard
What is it, Blade?
[09:18] Blade
Youth! What does youth mean?
[09:20] Blade
What does it involve?!
[09:22] Leonard
I'm not sure where this came from...
[09:24] Leonard
But when you think of youth,
it'd have to be...
[09:26] Leonard
Love, perhaps?
[09:27] Blade
Got it!
[09:28] Blade
So it's love!
[09:29] Group
Go!
[09:29] Yessica
Blade?
[09:30] Claire
What's the matter?
[09:31] Blade
Please tell me!
[09:33] Blade
What is love?
[09:34] Blade
What do you do when you're in love?!
[09:35] Claire
What? Love?!
[09:37] Claire
W-Well...
[09:38] Yessica
Go on! Out with it!
[09:40] Claire
Things like... going on dates together—
[09:43] Blade
Got it!
[09:44] Blade
So it's dates!
[09:46] Earnest
Why'd you suddenly come up to my room?
[09:49] Blade
Earnest!
[09:50] Blade
What's a date?
[09:51] Blade
What exactly do you do?!
[09:52] Earnest
A date?!
[09:53] Earnest
H-H-Hold on a moment, Blade!
[09:55] Blade
Please tell me!
[09:56] Blade
I'm begging you, Earnest!
[09:58] Earnest
Eh?!
[09:59] Earnest
That's, well...
[10:01] Earnest
Couples spend time alone talking,
walk around town, go shopping...
[10:05] Earnest
B-But we're not at that level yet...
[10:09] Earnest
I think it's still a little
too early for a date...
[10:12] Blade
Got it!
[10:13] Earnest
I'm off on a date!
[10:15] Earnest
Huh? Wait...
[10:18] Earnest
With who exactly?!
[10:19] Earnest
Step step step.
[10:20] Blade
Where's Sophie?!
[10:22] Priestess
Sophie's still inside—
[10:24] Blade
Thanks!
[10:24] Priestess
Huh?! Wait!
[10:25] Blade
Sophie!
[10:26] Blade
Sophie!
[10:27] Blade
Sophie!
[10:29] Girl Student 1
What?!
[10:30] Girl Student 2
Blade?!
[10:32] Blade
Sophie!
[10:34] Blade
Let's go on a date!
[10:36] Sophie
Is that a command?
[10:38] Blade
No, it's not.
[10:39] Blade
But it's very important!
[10:44] Sophie
I understand.
[10:48] Sophie
Yes, officer, this man right here.
[10:55] Claire
Blade barged into the girls' shower...
[10:58] Claire
A lot of girls have filed complaints.
[11:00] Earnest
What in the world's gotten into that idiot?
[11:02] Earnest
I'll have to sternly steer
him down the right path.
[11:04] Yessica
Red bean bun!
[11:06] Earnest
Huh?
[11:07] Yessica
Here, Claire.
[11:08] Yessica
Please take one too, Empress.
[11:09] Claire
Thank you.
[11:10] Earnest
Bread?
[11:12] Earnest
What is this? It's so sweet!
[11:14] Yessica
It is a red bean bun.
[11:15] Yessica
Have you never had one before?
[11:17] Earnest
O-O-Of course I have!
[11:19] Earnest
So sweet!
[11:22] Claire
So even the Empress makes faces like that.
[11:26] Earnest
H-Hey, you two...
[11:27] Earnest
Can you stop it with the whole Empress thing?
[11:30] Yessica
Lady Earnest, then?
[11:31] Earnest
Not that, either!
[11:33] Earnest
Just call me Earnest.
[11:34] Claire
O-Oh, no! We couldn't possibly!
[11:37] Earnest
Right now, we're comrades
united by our mission,
[11:41] Earnest
to watch Blade so he doesn't
try any funny business.
[11:45] Earnest
You could...
[11:46] Earnest
p-practically say that we're friends!
[11:49] Yessica
Yep.
[11:50] Doctor
You're right.
[11:51] Yessica
Ah, it's almost time.
[11:54] Blade
Oh, you're right on time.
[11:56] Sophie
Is that not normal?
[11:58] Sophie
I don't know anything about dates.
[12:01] Blade
That's fine.
[12:02] Blade
Leave everything to me!
[12:04] Blade
I did loads of studying for this!
[12:07] Blade
Okay, let's review our agenda for today.
[12:10] Blade
Assemble at 1000 hours.
[12:11] Blade
Salute and briefing at 1001 hours.
[12:13] Blade
Begin mobilizing at 1003 hours.
[12:14] Blade
Patrol town until 1030 hours.
[12:15] Blade
Afterwards, R&R at a parlor until 1100 hours.
[12:17] Blade
Lunch time starting at 1200 hours.
[12:18] Blade
Further agenda items to follow at lunch time!
[12:20] Earnest
Isn't that a little too precise?
[12:22] Claire
This sounds less like a date...
[12:23] Yessica
And more like a spec ops mission!
[12:26] Sophie
It's already 1004 hours.
[12:27] Blade
Oh, no! What do we do?!
[12:29] Blade
The agenda! The agenda!
[12:32] Sophie
We just need to begin mobilizing now.
[12:35] Blade
Ah, that's right!
[12:39] Earnest
W-Walking arm in arm? How indecent!
[12:41] Yessica
That's totally normal.
[12:43] Yessica
Calm down, Anna.
[12:44] Earnest
Anna?
[12:45] Yessica
It's a nickname, since we're friends.
[12:48] Yessica
Should I call you something else?
[12:50] Earnest
I'm fine with Anna!
[12:53] Claire
Ah!
[12:55] Claire
I lost sight of them.
[12:57] Sophie
Heave-ho.
[13:10] Woman
Look, look!
[13:11] Man
Oh, wow.
[13:11] Woman
They're eating it!
[13:12] Sophie
I want to try feeding them.
[13:14] Blade
Okay! Just you wait!
[13:19] Blade
Let's dump it in.
[13:20] Blade
There!
[13:23] Claire
Too much! There's too much!
[13:26] Earnest
What's with the date-like activities?!
[13:29] Yessica
They are on a date.
[13:33] Claire
There they go.
[13:35] Sophie
Heave-ho.
[13:38] Sophie
I just need to punch this?
[13:39] Blade
Okay, on the count of two.
[13:41] Blade
Are you ready?
[13:42] Earnest
I-I'll have you know...
[13:44] Earnest
I'm perfectly capable of this much!
[13:46] Claire
Th-That aside...
[13:47] Claire
W-We need to stop them!
[13:48] Blade
One, two!
[13:52] Yessica
Aw, man, they've done it now.
[13:54] Claire
We're so sorry! We're so sorry!
[13:55] Earnest
You can send the bill to Rosewood Academy...
[13:57] Sophie
Heave-ho.
[13:58] Blade
Our next mission is to finish this
Lovely Infinite Tropical Drink together!
[14:04] Sophie
I just need to drink this?
[14:05] Blade
Wait!
[14:06] Blade
It's only 1029 hours!
[14:08] Blade
We've still got one minute!
[14:09] Sophie
I'm thirsty.
[14:11] Blade
Well... that's fine, then.
[14:15] Sophie
It's hard to sip this.
[14:17] Sophie
Come a little closer.
[14:18] Blade
S-Sure.
[14:22] Sophie
What's wrong?
[14:23] Blade
Well, I'm not sure...
[14:25] Blade
But it feels...
[14:27] Blade
Feels...
[14:28] Sophie
I can't complete this mission by myself.
[14:32] Sophie
I need your help.
[14:33] Blade
I-I know.
[14:35] Blade
I know that!
[14:37] Blade
Be still, my beating heart!
[14:42] Sophie
Come a little closer.
[14:43] Blade
My heart... My heart...
[14:45] Claire
They haven't noticed us at all.
[14:47] Yessica
I think I've gotten sick of this.
[14:49] Earnest
How obscene! Dirty! Impure!
[14:52] Earnest
Filthy animals!
[14:53] Earnest
Their cheeks are touching!
[14:54] Yessica
Here, Anna.
[14:55] Yessica
You can have this.
[14:57] Earnest
Cheeks cheekily chafing...
[15:00] Earnest
So cool and sweet!
[15:02] Earnest
What is this yummy treat?!
[15:04] Claire
It's called a parfait.
[15:05] Earnest
Yum yum!
[15:07] Yessica
So are you done now?
[15:09] Earnest
With what?
[15:10] Claire
They've already left.
[15:16] Sophie
Heave-ho.
[15:18] Sophie
What's wrong?
[15:19] Blade
Well, it felt like we were being followed...
[15:24] Blade
Oh well.
[15:25] Earnest
Blade, you moron!
[15:27] Blade
Anyway, next on the agenda...
[15:29] Blade
Oh, no! Look at the time!
[15:34] Sophie
It's fine.
[15:35] Sophie
We can take a shortcut.
[15:59] Sophie
Is this our final target?
[16:01] Blade
I heard this is a legendary fountain.
[16:05] Sophie
I don't really understand.
[16:06] Blade
Me, neither.
[16:11] Sophie
I had fun today.
[16:13] Blade
Well...
[16:17] Sophie
Can I ask one thing?
[16:20] Blade
What is it?
[16:23] Sophie
Why are you going to all this trouble?
[16:25] Blade
Why, you ask...
[16:28] Blade
That's because...
[16:29] Blade
you're my friend.
[16:35] Sophie
You and I are friends?
[16:38] Blade
That's right!
[16:39] Blade
You bet we are!
[16:41] Sophie
I heard friends don't keep
secrets from each other.
[16:48] Blade
Well, I...
[16:50] Sophie
There's something I haven't told you.
[16:54] Blade
Huh?
[16:56] Sophie
If you and I are friends...
[16:59] Sophie
If you're willing to be my friend...
[17:04] Sophie
there's something I need to tell you.
[17:07] Sophie
I'm not an ordinary human.
[17:11] Sophie
An incomplete test subject,
created to be an artificial hero.
[17:17] Sophie
I was granted what are known as
Artificial Great Hero Powers.
[17:23] Blade
Artificial... Great Hero Powers?
[17:26] Sophie
Look.
[17:33] Sophie
Great Hero Powers can
alter the laws of physics.
[17:37] Sophie
However...
[17:43] Sophie
I have incomplete control of them.
[17:48] Blade
Gravity manipulation...
[17:50] Sophie
I magnified my body weight by 1,000
times... or that was my intent.
[17:54] Sophie
This is actually around 10,000 times.
[17:56] Blade
Sophie.
[18:02] Sophie
I can even stop time itself.
[18:12] Sophie
As I am now...
[18:14] Sophie
I can manifest Artificial Great
Hero Powers for just ten seconds.
[18:19] Sophie
Sophitia Femto.
[18:22] Sophie
The twelfth clone of a woman named Sophitia.
[18:27] Sophie
That is what I am.
[18:28] Sophie
The final model of the
Artificial Great Hero Project,
[18:32] Sophie
and its sole success, with caveats.
[18:38] Blade
In that case, I won't
keep any secrets, either.
[18:41] Blade
Please listen.
[18:43] Sophie
I'm listening.
[18:45] Blade
I'm...
[18:47] Blade
They call me...
[18:50] Blade
They call me... the Great Hero!
[18:58] Blade
No, they used to call me that.
[19:01] Blade
Those powers are gone now.
[19:04] Sophie
I see.
[19:06] Blade
Could it be that you realized?
[19:08] Sophie
No.
[19:09] Sophie
But something about you felt familiar.
[19:14] Blade
I'm really sorry.
[19:17] Blade
It's not something that an apology
and forgiveness can fix...
[19:20] Blade
Feel free to resent me.
[19:23] Sophie
Why would I do that?
[19:25] Blade
Because the reason you were born
with such accursed powers...
[19:30] Sophie
Accursed?
[19:32] Blade
That's right!
[19:33] Blade
This power is a curse!
[19:35] Blade
I never...
[19:38] Blade
The Great Hero wasn't
something I asked to be!
[19:43] Blade
But because they said I could save everyone,
[19:47] Blade
that's why there was no choice but to do it!
[19:49] Blade
With powers that manifested
at the age of three...
[19:52] Blade
Fighting monsters,
fighting them again and again...
[19:56] Blade
Lingering between life and
death countless times...
[19:59] Blade
And growing strong.
[20:01] Blade
Even so, not every single
person can be rescued.
[20:05] Blade
There are those who couldn't be saved!
[20:07] Blade
People get so angry when
you can't save someone!
[20:10] Blade
Why didn't you save them?
[20:12] Blade
Why?!
[20:13] Blade
Aren't you the Great Hero?!
[20:17] Blade
It's... It's...
[20:25] Blade
The Great Hero...
[20:27] Blade
What does it mean to be the Great Hero?
[20:37] Sophie
Blade.
[20:40] Sophie
Even if you didn't choose to be,
you were the Great Hero.
[20:46] Sophie
After being rescued by the king,
[20:49] Sophie
I left on a journey to find out who I was.
[20:53] Sophie
People saved by the Great Hero.
[20:55] Sophie
Entire towns.
[20:57] Sophie
I came across so many.
[21:01] Sophie
You should be proud of that.
[21:04] Blade
That's impossible.
[21:06] Sophie
I see.
[21:08] Sophie
It's fine if you can't.
[21:10] Sophie
However...
[21:11] Sophie
I take pride in the fact that I was
created to be an Artificial Great Hero.
[21:17] Sophie
What?
[21:18] Sophie
I want to become like you.
[21:24] Blade
That's... That's...
[21:27] Blade
No, I...
[21:34] Blade
won't let my past as the
Great Hero bother me!
[21:38] Sophie
Yes.
[21:39] Sophie
If that's what you decide, then that's fine.
[21:46] Sophie
Your identity as the Great Hero...
[21:48] Sophie
is the secret we share.
[21:53] Blade
Yeah, it's a promise.
[21:56] Blade
Just between the two of us.

[00:00] Blade
Yum!
[00:02] Blade
Tonkatsu curry is so good!
[00:05] Earnest
Hey, Blade. You've got food on your face.
[00:09] Sophie
I'll wipe it clean.
[00:15] Earnest
Ah!
[00:16] Earnest
What are you two doing?!
[00:18] Blade
You brought it up.
[00:20] Yessica
Heya.
[00:22] Claire
Anna, mind if we join you?
[00:24] Earnest
You're still calling me Anna?
[00:26] Earnest
Not that I mind.
[00:27] Yessica
Thanks, Anna.
[00:31] Yessica
Hey, Blade.
[00:32] Yessica
How do these outfits look on us?
[00:34] Blade
How, you ask?
[00:36] Claire
Oh, I suddenly feel so self-conscious.
[00:39] Earnest
That's right. Today's the day, isn't it?
[00:42] Earnest
Congratulations on moving up,
all four of you.
[00:44] Blade
Huh?
[00:45] Blade
You mean they're all in the advanced class?
[00:47] Kassim
Didn't even notice, huh?
[00:49] Clay
That's why we're allowed to dress freely now.
[00:52] Yessica
So how do we look?
[00:53] Yessica
Any thoughts?
[00:54] Blade
I bet you're freezing.
[00:57] Leonard
Why, how do you do, my fair ladies?
[01:00] Leonard
Oh! I'm utterly entranced by your beauty!
[01:04] Claire
Um...
[01:06] Yessica
Hey, Anna.
[01:07] Yessica
Who's this gorgeous fella here?
[01:09] Leonard
I'm quite flattered, really.
[01:11] Leonard
Unfortunately, I love all
women in equal measure.
[01:15] Leonard
I cannot let myself be bound to just one.
[01:16] Earnest
We get it, Leonard.
[01:18] Earnest
Anyway, Blade, have you heard?
[01:21] Blade
Hmm?
[01:22] Earnest
I hear His Majesty the King is having a
magical beast brought here to the school.
[01:27] Kassim
You mean we have to fight it for training?
[01:30] Clay
No way, that's way too extreme...
[01:32] Blade
Hmm...
[01:34] Earnest
"Hmm," you say?!
[01:34] Earnest
It's a magical beast!
[01:35] Blade
Well, I wouldn't put it past that old fart.
[01:39] Earnest
"Old fart"?! That's lèse-majesté!
[01:41] Blade
Whatever, he deserves it.
[01:45] Student G
An earthquake?!
[01:48] Sophie
Blade.
[01:49] Earnest
Wait, could it be...
[01:52] Earnest
Everyone!
[01:55] Sophie
We should have everyone take shelter.
[01:58] Blade
Sheesh.

This is the magical beast?

[04:24] Earnest
Blade, did you just subdue a
dragon with your bare hands?
[04:28] Blade
Huh? This one's still young.
[04:30] Blade
You must have been scared,
being dragged all the way here.
[04:33] Blade
Or are you hungry?
[04:36] Blade
Here.
[04:41] Blade
Too spicy for you?
[04:42] Student D
No way... Without any weapons?
[04:42] Student Q
A dragon, with one blow?
[04:44] Student E
I can't believe it!
[04:46] Blade
No way, this is normal!
[04:49] Blade
It's normal, right?
[04:55] Blade
It's not like it's a Great Dragon,
or an Ancient Dragon!
[04:59] Blade
Anyone could take down this
little dragon with a single hit!
[05:03] Blade
Um, well...
[05:07] Earnest
Eh?!
[05:08] Blade
Huh?
[05:09] Earnest
B-Behind you!
[05:11] Blade
Behind me?
[05:13] Cu
Parent!
[05:15] Blade
Whoa, what?!
[05:16] Cu
So you're my parent!
[05:19] Blade
Parent?
[05:20] Blade
Wait, what are you going on about?
[05:21] Cu
I've finally found you, Parent!
[05:23] Cu
So play with me!
[05:25] Blade
I'll go and find your parents later.
[05:28] Blade
There.
[05:29] Blade
Anyway, where did that dragon run off to?
[05:32] Earnest
Th-Th-The dragon shrank
down into that little girl!
[05:33] Cu
Play with me!
[05:35] Cu
Parent, play with me!
[05:36] Blade
Huh? That's impossible!
[05:38] Cu
Play with me!
[05:39] Blade
Hey, be quiet for a second!
[05:41] Cu
Aye.
[05:42] Cu
If you insist, I am more
than willing to be quiet.
[05:46] Blade
Mm-hmm.
[05:47] Blade
So, where's the dragon?
[05:49] Earnest
Like I said, that girl...
[05:51] Blade
Surely you joke.
[05:52] Sophie
Blade. I saw it, too.
[05:54] Sophie
Her true form is a dragon.
[05:56] Blade
What?!
[05:57] Blade
She's a dragon, for real?
[05:58] Earnest
That's what I've been saying!
[06:00] Earnest
Why do you believe Sophie and not me?!
[06:02] Cu
Parent.
[06:03] Cu
I did as you said and stayed quiet.
[06:06] Cu
A whole ten seconds, just for you.
[06:08] Cu
Now play with me!
[06:10] Blade
Wait, why are you calling me your parent?!
[06:13] Cu
That punch earlier was something else!
[06:16] Cu
I'd expect nothing less from my parent!
[06:18] Cu
Parent!
[06:20] Cu
Play with me! Play with me!
[06:22] Blade
Wh-What now?
[06:23] Cu
Play with me!
[06:24] Cu
Play with me! Play with me! Play with me!
[06:31] Cu
The roots of my horns are sensitive!
[06:34] Cu
Don't be rough with them!
[06:36] Blade
Sure, got it.
[06:38] Blade
How'd I end up doing this?
[06:41] Cu
That tickles!
[06:42] Blade
Hey, don't run away, Cu!
[06:45] Cu
Parent!
[06:47] Cu
What does the name you gave me,
Cu Chulainn, mean?
[06:51] Blade
It's the name of a devoted knight, who was
really strong and always kept promises.
[06:57] Cu
Aye. I can keep a promise.
[07:00] Cu
A dragon upholds an oath
even if it costs them their life.
[07:04] Earnest
Blade?
[07:05] Earnest
Where are you, Blade?
[07:08] Earnest
Y-You moron!
[07:09] Earnest
If you were in the bath,
you should have said so!
[07:11] Blade
Hey, you didn't give me any time to respond!
[07:14] Blade
So, did you learn anything?
[07:16] Earnest
Oh, yeah.
[07:18] Earnest
Magical beasts, including dragons,
are creatures who seek out strength.
[07:22] Earnest
When one is vanquished, its flesh may perish,
[07:24] Earnest
but a fragment of its soul lingers
as an agglomerate of knowledge.
[07:29] Earnest
And when that soul becomes
incarnated as another entity,
[07:33] Earnest
it mimics the shape of the
stronger being that finished it off.
[07:37] Earnest
Perhaps it's an evolutionary
instinct to seek out strength.
[07:40] Blade
So you mean a dragon defeated by a
human can end up taking a human form?
[07:44] Earnest
But it's an extremely rare occurrence.
[07:47] Earnest
Not a lot of humans can take down
a high-level beast like a dragon.
[07:51] Blade
Huh? Y-Yeah, you're right!
[07:53] Blade
You think Cu was vanquished
by a human in her past life?
[07:57] Earnest
Cu? That's her name?
[07:59] Earnest
Did you give her that name, Blade?
[08:01] Cu
That's right!
[08:02] Cu
It's a name that pleases me greatly!
[08:04] Earnest
What?!
[08:05] Blade
What's wrong, Earnest?
[08:07] Earnest
You pervert!
[08:10] Earnest
Unbelievable!
[08:11] Earnest
Unbelievable!
[08:13] Blade
What was that for?
[08:20] Cu
Parent, I'm hungry!
[08:22] Blade
You can feed yourself, you know.
[08:24] Blade
Here.
[08:29] Cu
I'm perfectly capable of
feeding myself, of course.
[08:32] Cu
However, being fed by Parent makes
the food taste that much better!
[08:39] Claire
Um, do you mind if I also feed Cu?
[08:42] Cu
No!
[08:44] Cu
I won't be friends with weakling humans!
[08:45] Yessica
There, there.
[08:46] Blade
Hey! Look at how scared Claire is.
[08:49] Cu
You're my parent now,
so you should only pay attention to me!
[08:54] Cu
In the morning, you need to
give me good morning smooches,
[08:57] Cu
and for meals, you must let me
sit in your lap and feed me!
[09:01] Blade
Ah. Yeah, yeah.
[09:02] Group
You do that?!
[09:04] Blade
Do what?
[09:05] Earnest
Morning... smooches...
[09:07] Blade
I haven't done that.
[09:09] Cu
Besides, you spend all your time
staring at mature adult female bodies!
[09:14] Cu
I find that unacceptable!
[09:16] Group
What?!
[09:16] Blade
Hey, don't go wandering off by—
[09:18] Earnest
Wait, Blade!
[09:19] Clay
You were staring?
[09:20] Blade
At what, exactly?
[09:21] Yessica
Sounds like he's guilty.
[09:23] Claire
What an awful thing to do!
[09:25] Clay
He's guilty, all right...
[09:26] Kassim
Guilty!
[09:26] Leonard
Not gentlemanly at all.
[09:28] Sophie
I can only describe you as despicable.
[09:30] Earnest
Well, then...
[09:31] Earnest
By unanimous verdict,
we the jury find Blade guilty.
[09:41] Priestess
Um, Earnest...
[09:44] Scientist
Blade's looking at us
like he wants to join in.
[09:47] Earnest
And so what if he does?
[09:49] Priestess
Oh, no...
[09:50] Scientist
Never mind.
[09:57] Blade
Hey! Cu!
[09:58] Blade
Wanna join me?
[10:06] Cu
I don't need any training,
but if you insist, Parent,
[10:11] Cu
I'm more than willing to show off my power.
[10:14] Blade
Yeah, yeah.
[10:14] Clay
Hey, Blade.
[10:16] Kassim
We were told to group up with you.
[10:18] Clay
Show us the ropes for the advanced class.
[10:20] Blade
Oh, sure thing.
[10:22] Yessica
Hey, I was hoping to specialize
in espionage as a spy.
[10:26] Yessica
Who should I have teach me?
[10:27] Blade
Sophie would be the one with those skills.
[10:29] Yessica
Sophity!
[10:32] Sophie
...Ty?
[10:33] Yessica
Sophity!
[10:34] Sophie
What?
[10:35] Clay
Then I guess it'll be us four.
[10:37] Blade
Oh, almost forgot.
[10:40] Blade
Huh?
[10:41] Blade
Where did Cu run off to?
[10:43] Claire
Cu?
[10:44] Blade
Man, she never listens to me.
[10:48] Cu
Nothing beats morning smooches!
[11:06] Student K
That girl's back again.
[11:08] Student B
If you're interested, wanna join in?
[11:10] Student B
We'd be happy to have you.
[11:13] Student N
Won't you be friends with us?
[11:20] Cu
You're no match for me at all.
[11:27] Blade
What were you up to, Cu?
[11:31] Cu
Nothing.
[11:33] Cu
Never mind that, Parent.
[11:34] Cu
My stomach is empty!
[11:36] Cu
I'm starving!
[11:38] Blade
Okay, tonkatsu curry it is!
[11:40] Cu
You know me too well!
[11:42] Cu
But don't make it spicy!
[11:45] Cu
Also, I absolutely refuse to eat carrots!
[12:05] Earnest
Blade, are you in there?
[12:09] Blade
Dragons are tormented by their parents
immediately after they're born.
[12:13] Blade
The child, learning that something
stronger than it exists,
[12:17] Blade
imprints onto that thing as its parent.
[12:19] Earnest
So that's why?
[12:21] Blade
Maybe she's been alone since she was born.
[12:25] Earnest
You realize though, don't you?
[12:29] Earnest
You can't keep pretending to be her parent.
[12:32] Blade
I know that.
[12:34] Blade
But if I'm not there as her parent,
she'll end up truly alone in the world.
[12:40] Blade
You know how much it
hurts to be alone, right?
[12:43] Earnest
That's not fair!
[12:44] Earnest
How am I supposed to argue
anything after that?
[12:48] Blade
Sorry.
[12:50] Earnest
It's fine.
[12:51] Earnest
Now I know that you were serious when
you decided to take care of her.
[12:56] Earnest
That reassured you as well, right, Sophie?
[12:59] Blade
Sophie?!
[13:04] Earnest
Wait, you didn't realize she was there?
[13:06] Earnest
I ran into her on my way to your room.
[13:09] Earnest
She's just like me.
[13:10] Earnest
Looks like she was worried about you.
[13:13] Blade
Things are going well with Cu,
and there's nothing to worry about.
[13:17] Sophie
I see.
[13:21] Earnest
I'll be heading back, too.
[13:23] Earnest
I wouldn't want rumors to spread about
me sneaking off at night to see a boy.
[13:34] Blade
Huh?
[13:43] Blade
What's wrong, Cu?
[13:51] Cu
Looking at those calms me down.
[13:53] Blade
The moons, huh?
[13:55] Cu
The big one's the parent,
and the small one's the child.
[13:59] Cu
That's why they're always together.
[14:01] Cu
I would look up at them all the time
when I was alone in the wasteland.
[14:05] Blade
Hey, Cu...
[14:06] Blade
Deep down, don't you want to make friends?
[14:09] Cu
Parent, you're gravely mistaken.
[14:12] Cu
Dragons are far sturdier than humans,
both physically and mentally.
[14:17] Cu
We do not form flocks.
[14:19] Cu
We live alone, and we die alone.
[14:21] Cu
That's what it means to be a dragon.
[14:24] Cu
Therefore, I have no need for friends at all!
[14:27] Cu
Besides, the only one I need is you!
[14:31] Blade
You sure are strong, Cu.
[14:32] Cu
That hurts, Parent!
[14:36] Cu
I swear, you sure are hopeless.
[14:44] King
Do you realize exactly who I am?
[14:51] King
This isn't a day care center.
[14:53] Blade
Look, who else can I turn to?
[14:55] Blade
We're the only two people
who can look after Cu.
[14:58] Blade
So, where's Cu?
[15:00] King
Oh, do I have a story for you.
[15:05] (Flashback) King
You're so adorable!
[15:06] (Flashback) King
Cuddle, cuddle.
[15:10] (Flashback) King
Cuddle, cuddle.
[15:11] (Flashback) King
Ow, that smarts!
[15:12] (Flashback) Cu
Your beard is so prickly!
[15:13] (Flashback) Cu
Is that an attack?
[15:14] (Flashback) Cu
Are you attacking me?!
[15:17] King
She burst out of the room, just like that.
[15:19] Blade
You can't even babysit?!
[15:21] Blade
So useless!
[15:22] King
Oh!
[15:23] King
Being reprimanded isn't half-bad!
[15:26] King
Scold me harder!
[15:27] Blade
This guy's a goner.
[15:31] Blade
Sheesh...
[15:33] Blade
Where in the world did Cu go?
[15:41] Cu
Come now!
[15:41] Cu
You mustn't bully that dragon whelp!
[15:43] Cu
Why, the poor thing!
[15:45] Cu
Agh! You've got the wrong idea, Blade!
[15:47] Cu
I wasn't bullying her!
[15:49] Cu
Glower!
[15:51] Cu
You fool! That won't work!
[15:53] Cu
What?! My eyebeam attack!
[15:56] Blade
Are those dolls supposed
to be me and Earnest?
[15:58] Cu
Bullying is wrong! Always!
[16:00] Cu
Earnest, you're incorrigible!
[16:02] Cu
Oh, I'm so sorry!
[16:05] Cu
You fool! I won't accept your apology!
[16:08] Blade
What awful slander.
[16:12] Cu
Oh!
[16:13] Cu
Can you please be friends with my daughter?
[16:16] Cu
Roger. Totes can do.
[16:18] Blade
Sophie?
[16:23] Cu
Head pats for Cu!
[16:25] Cu
Not fair, Claire!
[16:26] Cu
I want to pat her head, too!
[16:28] Blade
Claire and Yessica, huh?
[16:29] Cu
Oh! I love all women in equal measure.
[16:33] Blade
That's gotta be Leonard.
[16:35] Blade
That said, she sure is observant.
[16:44] Cu
Hello, Altia.
[16:46] Cu
Good morning, Ilya.
[16:48] Cu
Makino, late again?
[16:50] Cu
Karima, good day to you.
[16:52] Cu
Marcia, Michael, Eddy.
[16:54] Cu
How have you all been?
[16:56] Cu
Curtis, Isabella, Marie, Alan.
[16:59] Cu
See you tomorrow.
[17:00] Cu
James, Sarah, Zuimos, Herrera, Olga, Irina!
[17:01] Blade
I haven't heard these names before...
[17:04] Blade
Every student in the school?
[17:05] Blade
No way...
[17:06] Cu
Oh!
[17:08] Cu
That makes 108 friends for my daughter!
[17:22] Blade
I didn't even notice...
[17:30] Earnest
Oh, did you find Cu?
[17:42] Earnest
Wh-What?!
[17:49] Earnest
You idiot! Stop that!
[17:51] Earnest
Hey! Cut it out, Blade!
[17:56] Earnest
Tell me exactly what happened.
[18:03] Blade
What Cu needs are friends.
[18:06] Earnest
Yes, I agree.
[18:07] Blade
But it's not possible because of her nature.
[18:11] Blade
Dragons can't acknowledge anyone
weaker than them as an equal.
[18:15] Blade
It's not in their nature.
[18:18] Blade
For her to recognize someone as her friend,
[18:20] Blade
they need to defeat her.
[18:23] Blade
It doesn't mean anything if I beat her.
[18:26] Blade
I can't be her friend.
[18:28] Blade
There's nothing I can do...
[18:31] Earnest
Nope. There's nothing you can do.
[18:37] Earnest
In that case, turn to someone else!
[18:39] Earnest
You can't fix it all by yourself!
[18:42] Earnest
If so, then depend on others.
[18:44] Earnest
I asked you for help not too long ago.
[18:49] Earnest
It's unfair!
[18:50] Earnest
I relied on you,
yet you won't do the same!
[18:53] Earnest
What intolerable arrogance!
[18:54] Blade
Well, um...
[18:55] Earnest
Just shut up and reach out for help!
[18:58] Earnest
From me!
[18:59] Earnest
From all of us!
[19:11] Student B
Wait, is that...
[19:12] Student M
The Empress?!
[19:14] Student I
The new kid's with her, too.
[19:24] Blade
I have a favor to ask all of you.
[19:26] Blade
You know Cu, don't you?
[19:28] Blade
I want you to fight Cu,
a dragon, and beat her!
[19:32] Student B
Easier said than done...
[19:34] Student L
We can't go up against a dragon.
[19:38] Blade
I'm begging you!
[19:40] Blade
Please become friends with my daughter!
[19:44] Earnest
I'm asking you as well.
[19:46] Earnest
Please, fight alongside me.
[19:47] Student C
Empress?!
[19:48] Student L
Oh no, Lady Earnest!
[19:54] Sophie
We're here to make the same request.
[20:01] Blade
Why?
[20:02] Claire
We're worried about Cu as well.
[20:06] Yessica
Please, everyone.
[20:07] Yessica
Do it for us.
[20:08] Clay
Please!
[20:09] Kassim
We're on our knees here!
[20:14] Student B
O-Okay, we'll do it!
[20:16] Student L
Please stop kneeling!
[20:18] Group
We'll do whatever you want!
[20:43] King
That's more like it!
[20:44] King
This is the kind of hands-on
training I wanted to see!
[20:48] Siren
But you know, Gil,
[20:50] Siren
will a dragon even acknowledge defeat
if it's taken down by such a large group?
[20:53] King
Why, sure.
[20:54] King
In the eyes of a dragon, humans are
creatures that work collectively.
[20:59] King
Do you consider bees cowardly
for fighting as a swarm?
[21:04] Siren
No.
[21:05] King
To a dragon, humans are the same.
[21:08] King
They wouldn't consider it playing dirty.
[21:11] King
That said, it's a shame I won't
be able to watch him fight.
[21:18] Blade
I won't mind if you accidentally
breathe fire on that old blowhard.
[21:24] Blade
Hey, Cu.
[21:26] Blade
I hear that when the humans captured you,
[21:28] Blade
they sprung a trap on you, so you
couldn't fight to your heart's content.
[21:31] Blade
It must have been frustrating.
[21:33] Blade
This time, it'll be fair and square.
[21:36] Blade
Go on and see just how
tough we humans can be.
[21:38] Blade
Show everyone what your strengths are!
[21:54] Earnest
Everyone!
[21:55] Earnest
Here we go!
[21:56] Group
Yes, ma'am!

Remember the formations from our training!

Clay Platoon, follow me!
[00:30] Kassim
Kassim Platoon, get on the other side!
[00:45] Clay
Open formation!
[00:50] Kassim
She's wide open!
[00:51] Kassim
Take aim!
[00:53] Kassim
Now!
[00:53] Kassim
Fire!
[00:56] Blade
Keep it up!
[00:57] Blade
It's working just like we did in training!
[00:59] Clay
Now!
[01:04] King
I see now.
[01:06] Earnest
Initiate long-range attacks once you're
sure Clay Platoon has fallen back!
[01:14] Siren
So they're constantly
targeting her blind spot.
[01:16] King
Yep.
[01:18] King
A fine strategy that puts their
collective nature to good use.
[01:23] King
But there's one problem.
[01:34] King
Ordinary attacks won't inflict any
damage on a dragon sheathed in scales.
[01:41] King
Well? What now?

Please bring anyone who's injured this way!
[03:29] Claire
I'll tend to their wounds!
[03:38] King
It seems like you're waiting for something.
[03:41] King
However, this battle's going
to come to an end before that.
[03:46] Yessica
Don't let it hit you!
[03:48] Blade
Okay, now's your chance!
[04:00] Earnest
Asmodeus!
[04:06] King
That may have done some paltry damage,
[04:10] King
but it looks like your plan has failed.
[04:12] Blade
No, it's more than enough.
[04:17] Blade
Now she's lost awareness of her surroundings.
[04:27] Siren
A pitfall?
[04:28] King
I thought you were fighting fair and square.
[04:31] Blade
It'd be an unfair trap if it
had been set up beforehand,
[04:34] Blade
but that's not the case.
[04:37] Blade
He dug it out.
[04:39] Blade
After the battle had already begun.
[04:42] King
So you were stalling for time all along.
[04:45] King
That's not enough to beat her, though.
[04:48] Blade
I know that.
[04:51] Blade
Our real battle begins now.
[04:58] Student
Go!
[05:00] Blade
Forgive me, Cu.
[05:04] Earnest
Asmodeus!
[05:06] Asmodeus
As mighty as I may be...
[05:08] Earnest
Huh?
[05:09] Asmodeus
Using me repeatedly like this...
[05:12] Earnest
Don't be such a wimp!
[05:18] Earnest
Leonard, can you keep fighting?
[05:20] Leonard
Yes, my lord!
[05:28] Earnest
Leonard!
[05:31] Leonard
I've still got stamina to spare.
[05:33] Leonard
I haven't failed to run those ten kilometers
you asked of me every morning.
[05:38] Earnest
I said what now?
[05:39] Leonard
What?!
[05:42] Clay
She's about to take off!

Sheesh, you're working us to the bone...

I command thee in the

O sword! Demonstrate thy power!

No more... Pwease!
[06:24] Earnest
Shut your trap!

Who knew we had such a
capable student at our school?
[06:34] Blade
It's not just her powers.

Even in the advanced class, there aren't
many who can hone their fighting spirit.

I leave the rest to you.

Go forth!
[07:15] Blade
Get a good look, Cu.
[07:17] Blade
This is what humans can do.
[07:45] Blade
Cu.
[07:47] Cu
I ended up losing.
[07:50] Blade
You sure did.
[07:51] Cu
I disappointed you, Parent.
[07:54] Cu
Weak children get abandoned, right?
[07:57] Blade
I wouldn't do that.
[08:00] Blade
Besides, you're wrong about one thing.
[08:03] Blade
It's not that you were weak.
[08:07] Blade
Humans were just stronger.
[08:11] Blade
Well? Will you admit it now?
[08:14] Cu
Aye.
[08:15] Blade
Does that mean you can be friends with them?
[08:22] Cu
I-I suppose I must, if you insist.
[08:26] Cu
I don't mind becoming friends with—
[08:27] Blade
Hey!

You know that's not it!
[08:32] Cu
U-Um...

P-Please... be...

Hey, be careful!
[09:03] Siren
I see you're in high spirits, Gil.
[09:06] Siren
What are you scheming this time?
[09:08] King
I'm happy to see my students grow.
[09:11] King
Since they can harness their fighting
spirit and spiritual energy now,
[09:15] King
I've arranged a training method
that's even more hands-on.
[09:19] Siren
By which you mean that device?
[09:21] King
Indeed.
[09:22] King
It's called virtual reality, made using a
once-lost branch of magic called science.
[09:30] King
I eagerly await its completion!
[09:41] Claire
Cu, Cu.
[09:43] Claire
Okay, open wide.

You can't say that, Blade!

You truly are despicable.
[10:35] Claire
Um... You really haven't changed.
[10:39] Blade
No, you have!
[10:40] Blade
You've totally changed!
[10:42] Leonard
Pay him no mind, my lord.
[10:45] Leonard
Your rotund self is just as lovely!
[10:47] Earnest
Don't say it!
[10:49] Blade
Oh, yeah!
[10:50] Blade
It was your weight!
[10:51] Blade
You got fat!

I thought you'd gotten bigger!

Do you really need to rub it in?!

Blade, you moron!
[11:05] Sophie
Guilty.
[11:07] Blade
Eh?
[11:08] Blade
I was in the wrong?
[11:10] Yessica
I wouldn't be surprised
if you two were through!
[11:13] Blade
Through?
[11:18] Cu
There, there, Parent.
[11:22] Yessica
Blade's really taking it hard.
[11:24] Claire
Well, it's been three days since
Anna locked herself in her room.
[11:30] Blade
Who knew that being "through"
meant I couldn't see her anymore?
[11:34] Sophie
That's not it.
[11:35] Blade
Huh?
[11:36] Blade
So what does "through" mean?
[11:39] Yessica
It's like, "We can't be friends anymore!
We're through being friends!"
[11:44] Blade
What?!
[11:45] Blade
No! I don't want that at all!
[11:48] Blade
I wanna stay friends with Earnest!
[11:51] Blade
Will she forgive me if I apologize?
[11:54] Blade
I'll go and say sorry to her!
[11:55] Claire
Wait!
[11:57] Claire
Blade, you don't know why
Anna's mad at you, right?
[12:02] Claire
You're only going to make her angrier!
[12:06] Yessica
Yep.
[12:07] Yessica
That's why we'll tag along as well.
[12:10] Claire
Yeah. I'm worried about how Anna's doing.
[12:13] Claire
And because we're friends, of course.
[12:15] Cu
Yeah!
[12:18] Blade
Thank you!
[12:23] Yessica
Are you free?
[12:25] Yessica
Blade's here to apologize
for what he said.
[12:32] Yessica
Anna, I'm opening the door.
[12:46] Yessica
Anna...
[12:47] Yessica
Are you crying?
[12:49] Claire
Is everything okay?
[12:51] Claire
Can we come in?
[12:56] Cu
Looks tasty!
[12:59] Cu
Let me have some, too!
[13:01] Cu
You've got so much!
[13:01] Yessica
Hey, what?!
[13:03] Cu
You can spare some of it!
[13:03] Yessica
Cu, you can see like this?!
[13:05] Cu
Give it to me!
[13:05] Claire
Someone turn on the lights!
[13:08] Earnest
D-Don't look!
[13:10] Earnest
Please, don't look at me!
[13:14] Earnest
These desserts are so tasty!
[13:16] Earnest
These desserts...
[13:17] Blade
So that's the culprit.
[13:19] Earnest
Ever since our fight against Cu...
[13:22] Earnest
I started feeling hungry all the time...
[13:25] Earnest
Besides...
[13:27] Earnest
I never realized before that all
of this delicious food existed!
[13:32] Blade
Hey, Earnest...
[13:33] Blade
Let me ask you one thing.
[13:35] Blade
Are you and I through as friends?
[13:38] Earnest
N-No way!
[13:39] Earnest
I didn't... want you to see me like this.
[13:43] Earnest
So I couldn't bear to talk with you...
[13:46] Blade
I see!
[13:48] Blade
So we aren't through, then!
[13:50] Blade
What a relief.
[13:51] Blade
Well, I'm leaving.
[13:52] Yessica
Hold it right there!
[13:53] Claire
You can't be serious, Blade!
[13:55] Yessica
If you leave now, Anna's
gonna end up a lost cause!
[13:58] Claire
Something nice!
[14:00] Claire
You need to say something nice, or else!
[14:03] Blade
Something nice?
[14:07] Blade
Enjoying those desserts?
[14:09] Blade
Good for you.
[14:11] Yessica
Blade!
[14:12] Claire
You're twisting the knife!
[14:14] Blade
Huh?!
[14:15] Blade
What should I say, then?
[14:17] Yessica
Leonard, show him how it's done!
[14:19] Leonard
Yes!
[14:21] Leonard
My lord, I remain tirelessly devoted to you.
[14:25] Leonard
No matter how overweight you may be.
[14:28] Earnest
Who are you calling overweight?!
[14:31] Blade
Earnest.
[14:34] Blade
This isn't something you
can deal with alone, is it?
[14:38] Blade
If not, then turn to us.
[14:40] Blade
All of us will help you out!
[14:42] Blade
What you need is training!
[14:44] Blade
We're friends, aren't we?
[14:54] Yessica
Okay! I'll do it!
[14:57] Blade
Hey, stop eating!
[15:08] Blade
Should we go a little slower?
[15:11] Earnest
If it doesn't hurt...
[15:14] Earnest
I won't be burning calories!
[15:18] Earnest
Step, step, step.
[15:19] Blade
19!

Step, step, step.

Okay! Keep it up, Earnest!
[15:26] Blade
There! Push harder!
[15:27] Blade
Okay, good!
[15:29] Earnest
Step, step, step.
[15:36] Claire
I had the kitchen prepare a
special meal, just for you.
[15:39] Earnest
Huh? That's all?
[15:41] Claire
Yes.
[15:43] Yessica
You need to cut your calorie intake as well.
[15:46] Earnest
I'm so hungry...

The water feels so good!

You know, Anna, you should have
put on some muscle from training.

I'm sure you'll slim down in no time.
[17:00] Earnest
You think?
[17:02] Claire
Yeah.
[17:03] Claire
If only there were an easier way
to raise your metabolic rate.
[17:11] Earnest
I wanted to try something a
little more drastic today.
[17:14] Blade
Something drastic?
[17:17] Earnest
Yeah.
[17:20] Earnest
This is Testing Ground No. 2, and it's
protected by a powerful magic barrier,
[17:24] Earnest
so there shouldn't be any casualties,

anything happens, Blade.

But man, that was scorching hot.

Verily.
[18:48] Asmodeus
Thy flesh hath now perished.
[18:52] Yessica
Huh? What's that voice?

Asmodeus, probably.
[18:56] Asmodeus
Hold thy head high with pride.
[18:58] Asmodeus
'Tis not since thy first ancestor
that one hath attained this form.

What happened to Earnest's body?

Succumbed flesh doth become

[19:18] Asmodeus
Come!
[19:19] Asmodeus
Where is thy nemesis, worthy of this form?
[19:23] Asmodeus
Show me thy foe to set ablaze!
[19:26] Earnest
My foe to set ablaze...
[19:28] Earnest
That would be my body fat!
[19:30] Asmodeus
Pardon?
[19:32] Earnest
Because I did this all for my diet!
[19:35] Asmodeus
Diet?
[19:37] Earnest
I'm burning so much energy!
[19:39] Earnest
It must use up a ton many calories!
[19:42] Asmodeus
I-Indeed.
[19:44] Asmodeus
The drawback to this demon form lies
with the enormous energy it consumes.
[19:48] Asmodeus
Maintaining this form requires
one million calories every hour...
[19:52] Earnest
One million!
[19:55] Earnest
Who's got time to slowly
jog off those pounds?!
[19:58] Earnest
Just burn it all away in a flash!

It's fine, okay?!
[21:55] Earnest
It's fine!
[21:58] Cu
That's right!
[21:59] Cu
Dieting is the best!

[00:01] Doctor
You seem to be making good progress.
[00:03] Doctor
I think you're at around 30% now.
[00:06] Blade
Does that mean I can use my powers again?
[00:08] Doctor
Not at all.
[00:10] Doctor
It means that you'll die if you use 30%
of what used to be your full power.
[00:14] Blade
What?!
[00:17] Claire
Blade.
[00:19] Blade
Oh, what's up?
[00:23] Claire
This is Maria.
[00:25] Claire
She's my friend, and...
[00:26] Blade
Oh, I remember her!
[00:28] Blade
She was in the magic unit when we fought Cu.
[00:31] Maria
Oh, yes...
[00:32] Blade
She tripped all the time during training...
[00:34] Blade
and in the actual fight, I think she hurled
a fireball in the wrong direction...
[00:38] Claire
Hey! Blade!
[00:39] Blade
What do you call people like her, again?
[00:43] Blade
That's right!
[00:44] Blade
A klutz, that was it!
[00:47] Blade
Ah, sorry.
[00:48] Maria
It's fine...
[00:50] Maria
It's true that I'm clumsy.
[00:52] Claire
Um, it seems she has a favor to ask of you.
[00:56] Blade
Me?
[00:57] Maria
Y-Yes.
[00:59] Maria
Blade...
[01:00] Maria
Can you please...
[01:02] Maria
kill me?
[01:05] Maria
Oh, no!
[01:07] Maria
I meant that I want you to kill me
when I lose control of myself.

[01:11] Earnest
What do you mean by that?
SIGN The Demon King's
Daughter
[01:12] Maria
Um, the truth is... I'm not human.
[01:17] Group
What?
[01:18] Blade
Yeah, you're a night demon, right?
[01:20] Maria
You can tell?
[01:21] Blade
Well, I had a hunch.
[01:23] Maria
There's something else
that exists inside me.
[01:27] Maria
A magical beast with fearsome powers.
[01:31] Maria
Just once before, when I was
having a very hard time...
[01:36] Maria
Ah!
[01:37] Maria
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[01:39] Maria
This is what happens when
I can't control my strength!
[01:42] Claire
It's okay, Maria.
[01:44] Claire
Take a deep breath.
[01:45] Maria
Until now, I was able to
somehow keep it in check.
[01:48] Maria
But ever since then, I haven't
been able to fully hold it back.
[01:52] Blade
You mean when we fought Cu?
[01:54] Blade
Touching fighting spirit, which flowed
through your magic energy conduits,
[01:57] Blade
made you lose control of your powers.
[01:59] Earnest
You mean, unless we do something, that beast
is going to come out and wreak havoc?
[02:03] Maria
Yes.
[02:04] Maria
But I have nowhere else to go if
I get kicked out of the academy.
[02:08] Claire
Maria was originally at
Rosewood Junior School, like I was.
[02:13] Claire
She's worked hard for so
long to enter this academy.
[02:17] Maria
My mother and father are gone.
[02:19] Maria
I don't have a home to go back to.
[02:22] Maria
That's why I need to do
something about these powers!
[02:26] Blade
Sure.
[02:27] Blade
I know what it's like,
since my parents are gone, too.
[02:30] Blade
I'll help you out.
[02:31] Sophie
Me, too.
[02:32] Sophie
I never knew my mother or father.
[02:33] Yessica
I'll help you as well.
[02:35] Group
Us, too!
[02:36] Leonard
And I as well, naturally.
[02:37] Cu
I'm friends with Maria now!
[02:39] Cu
It's only natural to help out a friend!
[02:42] Earnest
H-Hey!
[02:43] Earnest
I want to help out, too!
[02:47] Maria
Thank you so much, everyone!
[02:52] Sophie
A magic barrier?
[02:53] Earnest
Whoa, how much power is this?!
[02:55] Blade
Oh, I asked Claire and Yessica to adjust it,
[02:58] Blade
so it should be cranked up to max power.
[03:00] Group
Yay!
[03:01] Earnest
You didn't ask for permission, did you?
[03:03] Blade
All right, looks like we're all set.
[03:06] Blade
You've been holding back
your powers this whole time,
[03:08] Blade
so I thought you could try
releasing them just this once.
[03:11] Maria
No!
[03:12] Maria
I mustn't!
[03:13] Blade
That's why we prepared all this.
[03:15] Blade
Earnest is living proof that it can work.
[03:17] Earnest
Well, I suppose.
[03:19] Maria
I can't ever do that!
[03:20] Maria
I must not unleash these powers!
[03:23] Maria
I need to keep them locked up
for the rest of my life...
[03:27] Earnest
Maria.
[03:29] Earnest
Why don't we try following
Blade's suggestion?
[03:31] Earnest
It saved me once before.
[03:35] Earnest
It is kind of a stupid method, though.
[03:38] Blade
Don't call it stupid!
[03:39] Earnest
What part of it isn't stupid, dummy?!
[03:41] Blade
Shut up, dummy!
[03:46] Maria
I understand.
[03:47] Maria
I'll put my faith in Blade
and the rest of you.
[03:51] Maria
I leave it to you if the worst comes to pass.
[03:54] Blade
Yeah. We've got this.
[03:55] Maria
Okay, here I go.
[04:01] Maria
Each of these limits my power by half.
[04:05] Maria
Another one.
[04:07] Sophie
Now it's four times the power.
[04:08] Maria
And another.
[04:10] Sophie
Eight times.
[04:11] Earnest
Sixteen times?!
[04:14] Maria
And finally...
[04:16] Maria
This is the most powerful sealing item,
[04:19] Maria
restricting my power to one-tenth.
[04:22] Blade
Which means...
[04:23] Sophie
One hundred and sixty times.
[04:25] Earnest
Wait, Maria!
[04:26] Maria
Huh?
[04:32] Maria
She's...
[04:33] Maria
She's about to come out!
[04:34] Maria
Oh, no! I can't hold her back!
[04:37] Blade
Don't hold back!
[04:38] Blade
We'll take care of her!
[04:40] Blade
Believe in your friends!
[05:00] Earnest
Blade, that's...
[05:08] Blade
The Demon King...
[05:17] Mao
Bow before me!
[05:18] Mao
Fear me! Worship me!
[05:21] Mao
Rejoice in the birth of the Demon King
with cries of lament and rancor!
[05:26] Sophie
That's the Demon King?
[05:28] Blade
No.
[05:29] Blade
But the satanic crest on her forehead...
[05:31] Earnest
Consume my flesh, Asmodeus!
[05:43] Leonard
My lord!
[05:44] Leonard
How dare you!
[05:50] Mao
Is that all?
[05:57] Mao
Hm?
[06:01] Sophie
Artificial Great Hero Power:
Ultimate Gravity.
[06:08] Mao
Oh, I can't move after that.
[06:11] Sophie
I leave the rest to you...
[06:13] Mao
Well, then, are you ready?
[06:24] Mao
So hot.
[06:28] Mao
Here.
[06:29] Mao
You can have it back.
[06:42] Mao
Are you the last one left?
[06:44] Mao
Okay.
[06:45] Mao
Once I'm out of here,
I'll lay waste to the royal capital.
[06:53] Mao
What's the meaning of this?
[06:55] Mao
Don't tell me you're trying
to take the Demon King alive?
[06:58] Blade
Found me out?
[07:01] Mao
You're a funny one.
[07:03] Mao
Fight me seriously.
[07:05] Mao
Or I'll kill you.
[07:08] Mao
I'm here to kill you.
[07:10] Mao
If you don't intend to kill me,
I'll make sure you die.
[07:15] Blade
Don't give out on me, body!
[07:17] Mao
Hm?
[07:25] Mao
Is that all you've got?
[07:26] Mao
If so, now it's my turn.
[07:28] Mao
Don't die in one shot now.
[07:30] Blade
Hey, wait!
[07:32] Mao
Sun Ray.
[07:44] Mao
Oh? You're still alive?
[07:47] Earnest
Blade.
[07:48] Blade
Earnest! Don't push yourself!
[07:50] Earnest
Take this...
[07:58] Blade
Asmodeus.
[08:00] Asmodeus
This goes very much against my will,
[08:02] Asmodeus
but it is what my master desires.
[08:04] Asmodeus
I shall consider this a limited contract.
[08:06] Mao
Oh? Now that's a fine weapon.
[08:09] Mao
It looks like I can expect
a somewhat amusing fight.
[08:12] Blade
Sorry. I don't fight to amuse anyone.
[08:16] Blade
I'll be ending this with one blow.
[08:18] Mao
You think you can take down
the Demon King in one blow?
[08:20] Mao
Interesting!
[08:22] Mao
Show me, then!
[08:31] Asmodeus
S-Stop that!
[08:32] Asmodeus
I'm not sure if even I can
fully handle such power!
[08:34] Blade
Quit your grumbling.
[08:36] Blade
You're Earnest's sword,
so bear it with sheer willpower.
[08:39] Blade
Here I go!
[08:40] Blade
Holy Demon Blade!
[08:42] Mao
Come forth!
[08:50] Mao
Pretty impressive.
[08:56] Mao
Th-This can't be!
[08:58] Mao
I'm being overpowered?!
[09:00] Mao
You!
[09:01] Mao
What the hell are you?!
[09:04] Blade
Just your ordinary fellow.
[09:06] Blade
At least, I am now!
[09:29] Blade
I'm just glad no one ended up dying...
[09:34] Blade
Huh?
[09:45] Blade
I'm...
[09:50] Doctor
You idiot!
[09:53] Doctor
You big, fat idiot!
[09:54] Doctor
You don't have to be so reckless anymore!
[09:57] Doctor
Why do you always make me worry so much?!
[09:59] Blade
Um...
[10:00] Doctor
You were dead, you know!
[10:03] Doctor
If I hadn't gotten to you in time,
you would have been a goner!
[10:07] Doctor
Last time, you promised you
wouldn't make me cry again!
[10:10] Doctor
You liar!
[10:14] Blade
Sorry.
[10:15] Blade
I'll be careful from now on.
[10:18] Blade
And the others?
[10:19] Doctor
They'll be fine.
[10:20] Doctor
Claire is treating them as we speak.
[10:23] Blade
I see.
[10:25] Blade
And what about her?
[10:27] Doctor
She's alive.
[10:31] Maria
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[10:32] Mao
Pretty impressive.
[10:35] Girl Student A
Good morning!
[10:36] Boy Student A
Good morning!
[10:37] Group
Good morning!
[10:38] Group
G-Good morning!
[10:41] Mao
Good morning.
[10:43] Blade
Hey, good morning.
[10:44] Mao
Good morning, Great Hero—
[10:48] Mao
So I was right.
[10:50] Mao
Now I have something to use against you.
[10:53] Blade
Stop it, Maria. Seriously.
[10:55] Mao
Maria is a different personality.
[10:58] Blade
Then who are you?
[10:59] Mao
I don't... have a name.
[11:03] Mao
No one's ever given me one.
[11:05] Girl Student D
De-mao!
[11:06] Girl Student E
Good morning, De-mao!
[11:08] Mao
Good morning.
[11:10] Blade
De-mao?
[11:12] King
It's true.
[11:14] King
I am the one who welcomed
Maria into this school.
[11:18] King
I'm aware of her identity.
[11:21] King
Maria's mother was human.
[11:24] King
Unfortunately, she's passed away.
[11:27] Blade
And her father?
[11:28] King
His fate is unknown.
[11:30] King
However, we know who he is.
[11:35] King
Her father was once known
as the Demon King.
[11:39] King
In other words, she's the
Demon King's daughter.
[11:51] Claire
She really has gotten used to life here.
[11:53] Kassim
But she's dangerous, right?
[11:56] Kassim
Is it okay to leave her alone like this?
[11:57] Earnest
Well...
[11:59] Earnest
His Majesty decided to let her go free,
[12:01] Earnest
saying, "I'll take full responsibility!"
[12:07] Mao
Right now, with my powers curbed,
I'm just an ordinary young girl.
[12:10] Mao
If you tell me to attend school, I'll do so,
[12:13] Mao
and if you tell me to wear this
frilly garb, I will oblige.
[12:16] Yessica
You say that, but don't you really
just want to wear cute clothes?
[12:20] Clay
Stop that, Yessica!
[12:21] Kassim
Don't make her angry!
[12:23] Mao
Hm.
[12:24] Mao
If I'm honest, it does set my heart aflutter.
[12:28] Mao
This frilly garb is quite something.
[12:36] Earnest
Mao!
[12:37] Earnest
Let those girls go back to
their classrooms already!
[12:40] Mao
I didn't ask them to come here.
[12:42] Blade
Hey, why are you calling her Mao?
[12:44] Earnest
Think of it like a nickname.
[12:47] Earnest
Everyone calls her De-mao,
but Mao is shorter.
[12:50] Mao
I see.
[12:51] Mao
Yes. I am almighty, and generous as well.
[12:54] Mao
I will allow this young girl to call me Mao.
[12:56] Cu
Dragons are the almighty ones!
[12:58] Mao
What'd you say, whelp?
[13:00] Mao
Do you want a rematch?
[13:02] Cu
Parent!
[13:06] Earnest
That's enough.
[13:07] Earnest
Break time is over.
[13:08] Mao
Great— I mean, Blade.
[13:11] Mao
I'd happily welcome a
rematch with you any day.
[13:15] Mao
Now then, let us be off.
[13:19] Claire
Um...
[13:20] Claire
Mao and Maria are distinct
personalities, right?
[13:23] Sophie
Yes.
[13:24] Claire
Then how come Maria hasn't
shown herself ever since then?
[13:28] Earnest
That's a good point.
[13:30] Claire
I'm scared.
[13:31] Claire
Scared that I'll never be
able to see Maria again.
[13:48] Mao
Good morning, Great Hero Blade.
[13:51] Blade
That's not right!
[13:52] Mao
I see.
[13:54] Mao
I suppose I should say, "Good evening."
[13:56] Blade
Well, what do you want?
[13:58] Mao
Yes. I'm here to invite you.
[14:01] Mao
I heard about it from a fellow classmate.
[14:03] Mao
She called it a da...
[14:05] Mao
Yes, a date!
[14:06] Blade
Huh?
[14:07] Blade
Listen up!
[14:08] Blade
A date begins at 1000 hours...
[14:11] Blade
H-Hey!
[14:13] Mao
Look, Great Hero.
[14:14] Mao
The moons are beautiful tonight.
[14:16] Blade
Seriously, stop calling me that!
[14:19] Blade
Besides, the moons are always out at night!
[14:22] Mao
Maria spent all her time
staring at the ground.
[14:27] Blade
Oh, yeah. How old are you, anyway?
[14:30] Blade
You don't seem to know a whole lot.
[14:33] Mao
I began to gain self-awareness
around five years ago.
[14:38] Blade
Huh? You're five years old?
[14:39] Mao
Age is no matter to a magical beast.
[14:42] Mao
As a lady, however, I don't appreciate
being treated as a child.
[14:46] Blade
You're a lady now?
[14:49] Mao
Can't you see for yourself?
[14:54] Mao
And here I am, so attached to you.
[14:57] Blade
Is that right?
[14:58] Mao
The reason I've stayed at this school
is because of you, Great Hero.
[15:03] Blade
You looked like you were enjoying
life here at the academy.
[15:06] Mao
Yes, there's that, too.
[15:09] Mao
I do enjoy that frilly garb.
[15:11] Mao
However, a magical beast
seeks out strength by nature.
[15:14] Mao
Everything else can be
discarded when it sees fit.
[15:17] Mao
And yet, I'm attached to you,
for reasons I don't fully understand.
[15:21] Mao
Even though you've grown weaker
since our previous fight.
[15:26] Blade
I was told that I'll die if I use
15% of my power next time.
[15:31] Mao
As you are, you're not a
foe worth even killing.
[15:34] Mao
But I've made up my mind.
[15:37] Mao
I won't leave this place
until I've killed you.
[15:40] Blade
Man, that's brutal.
[15:43] Mao
It's not good to be unaware
of your own feelings.
[15:46] Mao
I've thought about it,
and came up with a hypothesis.
[15:51] Mao
That is...
[15:53] Mao
Perhaps I've become attracted to you.
[16:00] Blade
What?!
[16:01] Mao
It's just a hypothesis,
[16:02] Mao
which is why I want to test it out.
[16:08] Mao
Won't you be my mate?
[16:10] Blade
I don't really know what that'd involve...
[16:15] Mao
Neither do I.
[16:17] Mao
You do realize I'm five.
[16:18] Blade
Wouldn't it be easier to
head over to a testing ground,
[16:20] Blade
and fight until we're both satisfied?
[16:24] Mao
You're in no shape to fight.
[16:27] Mao
What's more, I can't take
this off of my own volition.
[16:32] Mao
Maria's consciousness
within me resists it.
[16:36] Mao
She's so weak, yet she defies me...
[16:40] Mao
At the very least, I suppose she
did bring me into this world.
[16:43] Blade
What happened to Maria?
[16:45] Mao
Are Claire and the others worried?
[16:47] Mao
She's hiding away in the
deepest recesses of the mind.
[16:53] Mao
Despite appearances, there are dark
shadows stewing within Maria's heart.
[16:58] Mao
She was scorned and feared by humans...
[17:02] Mao
She rued her misfortune, forced to
live in hiding with only our mother.
[17:08] Mao
Our mother believed in our father.
[17:10] Mao
However, Maria could not have faith in him.
[17:15] Mao
Eventually, our mother died,
and Maria's mind was flooded with doubt.
[17:20] Mao
Could it be that our father
had not loved our mother?
[17:23] Mao
Why had he abandoned the human realm?
[17:26] Mao
Could it be that our father was
the cause of all of her suffering?
[17:31] Mao
I was born in order to escape
that unbearable pain in her mind.
[17:38] Blade
I see...
[17:39] Mao
So perhaps Maria might never return.
[17:43] Mao
It would be easier that way.
[17:46] Mao
I've told you all this because you're
closer to our kind than to humanity.
[17:50] Mao
One more thing I like about you.
[17:53] Blade
That's all in the past now.
SIGN A few days later
[17:58] Eliza
From my research, I just can't see how
that pendant could be a sealing item!
[18:04] Group
What?
[18:04] Blade
Um... who is this?
[18:06] Claire
She's Maria's friend...
[18:07] Eliza
Eliza!
[18:09] Earnest
Are you sure it's not a sealing item?
[18:11] Eliza
I'm absolutely certain!
[18:13] Eliza
If I'm wrong, I swear to disembowel myself!
[18:17] Earnest
You don't have to go that far!
[18:19] Mao
You say that, but I'm definitely
being restricted by this item.
[18:24] Blade
What kind of item is it?
[18:26] Eliza
Right.
[18:27] Eliza
I haven't been able to fully analyze it,
[18:30] Eliza
but I believe that it's some
sort of recording device.
[18:33] Sophie
Recording?
[18:34] Eliza
You could consider it a type of message cube.
[18:36] Eliza
This is just conjecture,
[18:38] Eliza
but it may contain a message from
the person who gave you that pendant.
[18:41] Mao
Going by Maria's memories,
this was a keepsake from our mother.
[18:46] Eliza
Let me warn you beforehand.
[18:48] Eliza
I believe that recording could
serve to bring Maria back.
[18:53] Eliza
That would mean...
[18:55] Mao
I see.
[18:56] Mao
It could end up destroying me,
the Demon King.
[19:00] Mao
How fascinating.
[19:03] Eliza
Would we be okay if we play it?
[19:09] Mao
Yes, go ahead.
[19:12] Eliza
In that case, let us begin.
[19:19] Claire
Perhaps we could have become friends, too.
[19:22] Claire
If it didn't mean losing Maria...
[19:24] Mao
Rest assured.
[19:26] Mao
It seems that one of us
is destined to disappear.
[19:29] Mao
I'm sure whoever remains will
be friends with you all.
[19:33] Eliza
I'm ready now.
[19:35] Eliza
Please open the pendant.
[19:37] Mao
Yes.
[19:53] Blade
The Demon King.
[19:55] Sophie
So this is the Demon King?
[19:57] Yessica
Huh, he's pretty hot!
[20:04] Demon King
My beloved Emilia.
[20:06] Earnest
Emilia?
[20:07] Mao
Our mother's name.
[20:09] Demon King
Find it in your heart to forgive
me for leaving you behind...
[20:13] Demon King
No, resent me.
[20:15] Demon King
There is a foe whom I must face in combat.
[20:19] Demon King
I do not wish to take you
down this bloodied path.
[20:23] Demon King
You may think it self-serving of me...
[20:25] Demon King
but there is a reason I cannot.
[20:28] Demon King
You may not have realized it yet,
[20:31] Demon King
but your body houses a brand-new life.
[20:35] Demon King
To think that I, a magical beast,
could sire a child with a human.
[20:39] Demon King
Be it a boy or a girl,
I've chosen names.
[20:43] Demon King
Ortous if it is male.
[20:45] Demon King
If it is female, Maria.
[20:48] Demon King
Once that child can understand language,
tell them this:
[20:52] Demon King
Their father is dead.
[21:00] Mao
How long are you going to hide in here for?
[21:04] Mao
It's no fun beating someone
as useless as you.
[21:08] Maria
I'm...
[21:14] Demon King
Emilia. My child yet unseen.
[21:17] Demon King
I swear upon my satanic crest that
I will continue loving you both.
[21:25] Demon King
Forevermore, though my body may perish.
[21:31] Blade
Mao, you're...
[21:33] Mao
Yes.
[21:34] Mao
I can barely control my body now.
[21:38] Mao
It seems that the strength of our wills
plays a role in this battle, too.
[21:42] Mao
As we speak, the two of us are fighting
to see which one gets to survive.
[21:51] Mao
It looks like I'm about to
be annihilated by Maria.
[21:54] Blade
H-Hey...
[21:56] Mao
It's almost time.
[21:58] Mao
Go on, call her name.
[22:05] Mao
I don't mind.
[22:09] Group
Maria!
[22:41] Kassim
Blade!
[22:43] Clay
Don't you lose to her!
[22:44] Claire
Maria! You can do it!
[22:45] Student
Maria! Show us the usual!
[22:48] Maria
Um... do you mind?
[22:50] Blade
It's fine.
[22:51] Maria
Okay...
[22:57] Mao
Come, Blade!
[22:58] Mao
Your life ends here!
[23:01] Blade
Let's go!
[23:08] Claire
Mao didn't disappear, which means...
[23:11] Eliza
It must be because Maria
wants to coexist with her.
[23:15] Eliza
This is the future she wanted.
[23:18] Blade
Surrender already!
[23:20] Mao
The Demon King would never...
[23:23] Earnest
Mao!
[23:24] Earnest
Show Blade who's boss!

Oh, the cargo is stuck in here.

Excuse me...

Huh? Is that you, Dione?
[00:41] Dione
Oh! Great—
[00:46] Blade
The fact that I was the
Great Hero is a secret!
[00:49] Blade
Got it?!
[00:51] Earnest
Do you two know each other?

Huh?
[00:53] Blade
Well, maybe we do, or maybe we don't...

Which is it?

Back when Blade was the Great— wait, no!

More importantly!

What are you gonna do about this cargo?

Oh, that's right.

If you'd like, we'd be happy to help out.

Yes.

Leave it to me!

We dragons are powerful!

I would appreciate your help.

Are you all members of Blade's party?
[01:24] Blade
No! They're my friends.
[01:27] Dione
I see.
[01:29] Blade
So? Where are we hauling this?
[01:32] Dione
Oh, yes. That'd be...
[01:34] King
Oh! Took you long enough!
[01:37] Blade
It was the old fart's cargo?
[01:39] Earnest
That's lèse-majesté, Blade.
[01:41] Dione
Your Majesty.
[01:42] Dione
I've brought it here, as per your command.
[01:44] King
Good going!
[01:46] King
On that note, I have your
next assignment ready.
[01:50] Dione
Yes!
[01:51] Dione
As you wish!
[01:52] King
Okay!
[01:53] King
Starting today, you will be teaching at
Rosewood Academy as an instructor.
[01:57] Group
What?!
[01:59] Earnest
That came out of nowhere!
[02:01] King
Blade is well aware of her abilities.
[02:04] King
She should be more than qualified
to act as your instructor.
[02:07] Blade
Well, yeah...
[02:08] King
Well, then, best of luck to you!
[02:11] Dione
Yes!
[02:12] Dione

What's going on here?
[04:03] Kassim
Wait, who's that?
[04:06] Sophie
Is that God Iron?
[04:08] Blade
Sure is.
[04:09] Blade
Back in the day, we used boulders instead.
[04:29] Sophie
I thought God Iron was indestructible.
[04:33] Blade
Oh, is that what's normal?
[04:36] Earnest
It's not just destroyed, it's melting...
[04:38] Kassim
Wow...
[04:51] Dione
I'm finally feeling all warmed up!
[04:54] Dione
Okay, let's begin class!
[04:58] Blade
Introduce yourself first!
[05:00] Dione
You're right!
[05:02] Dione
I am Dione!
[05:04] Dione
Dione, the Demon Lance!
[05:06] Dione
If any of you feel confident enough,
take up your sword and face me!
[05:10] Blade
Wait, you're not here to fight a duel!
[05:12] Earnest
Dione, the Demon Lance?
[05:15] Earnest
What?!
[05:16] Earnest
Are you General Dione,
commander of the top cavalry corps?!
[05:19] Group
General?!
[05:21] Clay
A bonafide hero!
[05:23] Maria
Someone so accomplished is
going to be our teacher?
[05:27] Dione
Oh, no!
[05:28] Dione
Before the Great Hero, I'm not...
[05:30] Dione
Ah!
[05:30] Blade
Hey!
[05:32] Earnest
So, Miss Dione, you've had the privilege
of seeing the Great Hero fight in person!
[05:37] Dione
W-W-Well, that's all in the past...
[05:40] Earnest
But then how does someone
like you know Blade?
[05:46] Claire
Do you think Miss Dione is
acquaintances with Blade?
[05:49] Yessica
Hm...
[05:51] Yessica
Consider me interested.
[05:54] Cu
Parent, that tickles!
[05:58] Blade
Stop squirming already!
[06:01] Blade
No weird noises!
[06:07] Dione
I always just bathe in cold water,
but this is pretty good, too!
[06:11] Yessica
How's everything feel, Sis?
[06:13] Claire
Let's get that sweat wiped off.
[06:15] Dione
I'm in heaven!
[06:17] Yessica
Have you known Blade for a long time, Sis?
[06:22] Dione
I-I-I only met Blade the other day!
[06:26] Earnest
Back then, you said you two went way back.
[06:29] Dione
Th-That's, well...
[06:31] Yessica
Hey, Sis.
[06:32] Yessica
I'd love to hear you talk about
what Blade was like in the past.
[06:36] Maria
I'd be interested in that, too!
[06:40] Yessica
Please tell us, Sis!
[06:43] Dione
That's the spot!
[06:44] Dione
Keep going, right there!
[06:48] Cu
It feels good!
[06:48] Yessica
If you want it here...
[06:52] Blade
Hey!
[06:53] Dione
I-If it isn't the Great— I mean, Blade!
[06:57] Yessica
We were so close, too.
[06:59] Earnest
Hey, Blade!
[07:01] Earnest
Why are you in here like it's nothing?!
[07:03] Blade
Well, who else is going to wash Cu's hair?
[07:06] Yessica
Calm down, Anna.
[07:08] Yessica
Blade is mentally similar to
a five-year-old, you know.
[07:11] Yessica
There!
[07:13] Blade
Huh?
[07:14] Yessica
See?
[07:15] Earnest
Don't give me that!
[07:16] Earnest
What are you doing, Yessica?!
[07:19] Dione
Five years old, you say...
[07:21] Dione
That's about how old Blade
was when I first met him.
[07:25] Blade
Hey, Dione!
[07:27] Mao
Oh?
[07:28] Mao
When he was as old as I am now?
[07:31] Mao
I'd love to hear all about it.
[07:36] Dione
When I first met Blade...
[07:39] Dione
he was so ferocious,
I thought he was a wild animal.
[07:44] Earnest
Huh...
[07:46] Dione
He could barely speak, and it
seems he thought I was a horse,
[07:52] Dione
so he sunk his teeth into my bottom.
SIGN Aghhhh
[07:56] Dione
I was still inexperienced back then,
[07:58] Dione
and I really was one step
away from becoming dinner.
[08:01] Yessica
Man, that's just like Blade.
[08:04] Dione
A few years after that,
after training my mind and body,
[08:08] Dione
I became worthy of joining forces
with the Great Hero himself!
[08:11] Earnest
So the rumors that you fought with
the Great Hero are true, General?
[08:16] Dione
You betcha!
[08:18] Sophie
Relax.
[08:19] Sophie
No one can tell she's talking about you.
[08:21] Blade
Huh?
[08:22] Dione
I've even let the Great Hero ride on my back!
[08:27] Earnest
Whoa!
[08:28] Dione
However, he did not let me join him
for the fight against the Demon King.
[08:34] Dione
I wasn't able to act as
his steed to the very end.
[08:39] Dione
In self-reproach, I took it
as a sign of my own weakness,
[08:44] Dione
and now I strive to train myself further.
[08:47] Earnest
I think that's remarkable.
[08:51] Blade
Are you sure no one noticed?
[08:53] Sophie
Yes.
[08:54] Sophie
Everyone thinks the Great Hero is much older.
[08:57] Blade
Ah! Makes sense.
[08:59] Sophie
So it's our little secret.
[09:02] Blade
Well, you see...
[09:06] Blade
I was found out.
[09:13] Blade
Several days later!
[09:15] Earnest
What should we bring back as a gift for Sis?
[09:18] Blade
Cabbage, maybe?
[09:19] Blade
She eats them whole, you know.
[09:24] Earnest
Hey, Blade.
[09:25] Earnest
So, really, what is your
relationship with her?
[09:28] Blade
Well, you see...
[09:31] Earnest
What?!
[09:34] Earnest
A simurgh?!
[09:36] Blade
What's a simurgh, again?
[09:38] Earnest
It's one of the four
Continental Sacred Birds!
[09:40] Blade
Oh, so it's like a thunderbird, or a phoenix.
[09:44] Earnest
But what's a simurgh doing
here in the royal capital?
[09:48] Blade
Well, I'm sure it won't attack us,
as long as we don't provoke it.
[09:53] Earnest
That's true.
[09:54] Earnest
There are no records of
them attacking humans.
[09:59] Blade
Earnest!
[10:01] Earnest
Huh?
[10:08] Earnest
Oh, no! We need to stop it!
[10:12] Blade
Keep your fighting spirit in check!
[10:14] Earnest
Okay! Okay!
[10:22] Earnest
Two of them...
[10:22] Man
Are you okay?!
[10:23] Earnest
Are those two simurghs mates?
[10:25] Earnest
And why?
[10:27] Earnest
I thought they didn't attack people.
[10:29] Blade
It almost looked like...
[10:31] Blade
they were after that wagon, not people.
[10:33] Earnest
The wagon?
[10:34] Earnest
Could it be that...
[10:36] Blade
I bet that jerk's got
something to do with this.

[11:01] Earnest
We need to talk!
[11:03] King
What's the matter?
[11:05] King
You seem upset.
[11:06] Earnest
Exactly what have you been hiding from us?!
[11:10] Blade
So that doesn't count as lèse-majesté?
[11:12] Earnest
The town was under attack!
[11:14] Earnest
Please explain what's going on here!
[11:18] King
What makes you so sure it has to do with me?
[11:20] Blade
The simurgh attacked a freight wagon.
[11:24] King
I see.
[11:25] Blade
Dione also happened to be
pulling a freight wagon.
[11:28] King
That's true.
[11:29] Earnest
Your Majesty!
[11:30] Earnest
Just what was in that freight wagon?!
[11:33] King
Oh, that?
[11:34] King
It was...
SIGN Egg
[11:36] King
An egg.
[11:40] Earnest
You stole a simurgh egg?!
[11:43] King
Don't make such accusatory statements.
[11:46] King
I was just borrowing it for a bit.
[11:48] Earnest
Yeah, and the parents are
absolutely furious as a result!
[11:52] Siren
Gil.
[11:53] Siren
Don't you think you should
thoroughly explain the situation?
[11:56] King
Yeah, guess so.
[11:59] Earnest
The situation?
[12:00] King
Yes.
[12:01] King
There are two conditions required
for a simurgh egg to hatch.
[12:06] King
The first is keeping at the same height
as the 10,000-year-old sacred tree.
[12:12] King
The second is to bathe in the light of the
setting sun at the moment of hatching.
[12:18] King
However, it seems those parents
are new to making nests.
[12:21] King
They picked a poor location for a nest,
and the egg wouldn't have hatched if left alone.
[12:26] Earnest
So you were trying to help them?
[12:30] King
That's the pretext, anyway.
[12:32] King
Actually, I was thinking it would be
good practical training for all of you.
[12:34] Earnest
A-Are you an idiot?
[12:36] Earnest
Are you an idiot?!
[12:38] Blade
Good, tell it like it is!
[12:39] King
That said!
[12:41] King
It's true that, at this rate,
the egg will not hatch.
[12:44] King
If you want to be a hero...
no, what lies beyond...
[12:48] King
Go and save that simurgh!
[12:50] Earnest
When is it supposed to hatch?!
[12:52] King
Tomorrow!
[12:53] Group
What?!
[12:57] Blade
The next day!
[12:59] Earnest
Attention!
[13:03] Earnest
Listen up for this briefing
from your commander!
[13:09] Blade
Today, we face simurghs in combat!
[13:13] Blade
Our goal in this fight is not to win!
[13:15] Blade
It is to buy us time until sunset,
and to hide this egg from its parents!
[13:22] Blade
The parents are in a state of frenzy.
[13:24] Blade
If they spot the egg, they might
destroy it in their fervor!
[13:28] Blade
We'll keep the egg concealed
until the very last minute,
[13:31] Blade
then lift it up via elevator
to the top of the tower!
[13:35] Blade
By doing so, the egg will successfully hatch!
[13:38] Blade
We'll make sure it hatches!
[13:40] Blade
Have no fear!
[13:41] Blade
Have faith in what we've
accomplished up to this point!
[13:44] Blade
Have faith in yourself!
[13:46] Claire
U-Um...
[13:47] Claire
What do we do if...
[13:50] Maria
...we can't have faith in ourselves?
[13:52] Blade
It's okay if you can't
have faith in yourselves.
[13:57] Blade
I have faith in you.
[14:00] Group
Y-Yes!
[14:02] Earnest
Everyone! Here we go!
[14:16] Leonard
Are the citizens safe?
[14:23] Clay
We've evacuated everyone in this district!
[14:25] Leonard
That's a relief.
[14:35] Yessica
Look at you go, handsome!
[14:45] Yessica
Leonard!
[14:47] Clay

[14:57] Yessica
Take that!
[15:00] Yessica
Shoot!
[15:02] Yessica
Figures that wouldn't work!
[15:04] Blade
Okay, now's our chance!
[15:13] Eliza
These wires are made of God Iron.
[15:15] Eliza
Normally, it'd be impossible to sever them!

Normally...
[15:19] Eliza
Eh?
[15:20] Eliza
Ehh?!
[15:22] Eliza
Ehhh?!
[15:23] Eliza
It's pulling up entire buildings?!
[15:26] Eliza
That's absurd!
[15:29] Blade
But that bought us some time.
[15:32] Blade
Keep it up!
[15:34] Kassim
Claire, take care of him!
[15:36] Claire
Yes!
[15:43] Cu
Have a taste of this!
[15:49] Cu
How's that?
[15:50] Cu
Give up?!
[15:54] Cu
It's pretty fearsome...

Very well! Use me how you see fit!

Yes, we're fine.
[16:48] Earnest
All that's left is...
[16:49] Group
What?!
[16:51] Blade
Don't tell me... it stopped?
[16:53] Sophie
It sure did stop.
[16:54] Earnest
Yep, it stopped.
[16:56] Kassim
Oh, no! It noticed the egg!
[16:59] Sophie
Blade, you get the egg.
[17:01] Blade
Wait, but...

Remember what you said.
[17:17] Earnest
Have faith in us!
[17:23] Blade
You're right.
[17:33] Blade
This is terrifying!
[17:34] Blade
It's harder than I thought to
only use 15% of my strength!
[17:38] Dione
Great Hero!
[17:40] Dione
Come, get on my back!
[17:43] Blade
What? I thought you weren't
going to help out!
[17:45] Dione
Nope!
[17:46] Dione
His Majesty gave strict
orders not to lend a hand.
[17:49] Dione
However...
[17:51] Dione
I'm just letting you ride on my back.
[17:54] Dione
No hands involved!
[18:01] Blade
I was told just now to let them
handle it, and go on ahead.
[18:07] Blade
It reminded me of back then,
in a lot of ways.
[18:10] Dione
You're not alone anymore,
are you, Great Hero?
[18:15] Blade
No, I'm not.
[18:16] Blade
It was just me when I fought the Demon King.
[18:20] Blade
But now, I have lots of friends!
[18:25] Blade
And of course, you're one of them, Dione!
[18:29] Dione
Yes!
[18:32] Claire
We need to carry this?
[18:37] Blade
No way!
[18:38] Blade
Ain't happening!
[18:40] Dione
Hm, let me think...
[18:42] Dione
Great Hero!
[18:43] Dione
Hold onto it nice and tight, just like that!
[18:48] Blade
Dione, what are you doing?!
[18:49] Dione
I'm just giving you a push!
[18:52] Dione
Here we go, Great Hero!
[18:55] Blade
H-Hey! Dione!
[19:01] Blade
We made it!
[19:03] Dione
Good work.
[19:05] King
Welcome to the finish line!
[19:07] King
I knew you'd be able to do it!
[19:09] King
After all, you are the Great Hero!
[19:12] Blade
I'm not a hero anymore!
[19:14] Blade
I only made it thanks to everyone's help.
[19:18] Blade
Hey, wait!
[19:19] Blade
It's the other simurgh!
[19:21] King
Yep.
[19:22] King
Looks like it's my time to shine now.
[19:24] Blade
What?
[19:25] King
I, Gilgamesh Soulmaker,
declare here in my name!
[19:28] King
A life owed shall be repaid by new life!
[19:32] King
I'll be paying you back, right here!
[19:35] Siren
A simurgh once saved Gil's life.
[19:40] Blade
Huh?
[19:40] King
Come, simurgh.
[19:41] Siren
It's been playing on his
mind this whole time.
[19:42] King
Accept my gratitude and take
this new life into your talons!
[19:44] Siren
But thanks to you,
he can finally repay his debt.
[19:48] Siren
Thank you, Blade.
[19:52] Blade
Seriously?!
[19:52] King
Ow!
[19:54] Blade
You should have just told us from the start!
[19:54] King
That hurts!
[19:56] Blade
Sheesh, you just can't be honest!
[19:57] King
Stop that! Ow!
[20:00] Blade
Wait, does it look angrier now?
[20:03] Siren
It seems that way.
[20:12] Blade
Watch out!
[20:17] Sophie
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[20:19] Sophie
Five seconds remaining.
[20:20] Blade
That's more than enough!
[20:22] Blade
Dragon Eater!
[20:37] Blade
I can't move a finger...
[20:41] Blade
So heavy...
[20:43] Sophie
I'm lighter than Earnest, at least.
[20:50] Dione
Blade! The egg!
[20:59] Dione
Oh dear!
[21:02] Blade
It was twins!
[21:04] Blade
No wonder it was so heavy.
[21:07] Blade
Huh?
[21:09] Blade
Why are they staring at me?
[21:11] Sophie
They're imprinting.
[21:15] Sophie
They see Blade as their parent.
[21:17] Earnest
Ah! You've got more children now!
[21:20] Earnest
What are you gonna do about this?!
[21:22] Cu
Call me your big sister!
[21:24] Earnest
Wait, why are you getting
touchy with Sophie?!
[21:27] Blade
Now then, what to do...
[21:30] Blade
Several days later!
[21:33] Earnest
H-Hey now!
[21:34] Earnest
Please, do as I say!
[21:36] Earnest
Okay? Okay?!
[21:38] Blade
Let it fly however it wants!
[21:40] Earnest
I-I know that!
[21:42] Earnest
I know...
[21:50] Cu
Parent!
[21:55] Blade
Man, looks like I've made even more friends!

So here you are.
[00:47] Blade
Sophie.
[00:49] Sophie
I've always wanted to go
all out in a fight against you.
[00:54] Sophie
Can I win if I don't hold back?

Why don't we find out?

Okay, then.

How?

You can attack me a hundred times, but if each
does zero damage, that still makes zero.

Adamantine Body.

SIGN The Springtime of Life
at Rosewood Academy
[03:42] Blade
Hey, old man!
[03:44] Blade
I don't know what kind of
magic or trickery this is,
[03:46] Blade
but can't we call it quits already?!
[03:49] King
I believe I explained it all at the start.
[03:52] King
This is no trickery.
[03:54] King
This technology known as virtual reality
[03:57] King
was made using a lost branch
of magic known as science.
[04:00] King
Also, and I mentioned this as well,
[04:03] King
there's no need to use a blunted sword
[04:08] King
or to stop yourself at the
last second as you do in reality.
[04:10] King
That is to say, it's practical
training like you've never seen it!
[04:12] Cu
Dragons are the strongest!
[04:15] Mao
A dragon whelp like you dares to face me?
[04:19] King
Train as hard as you can in this practicum,
until there is only one left standing.
[04:25] King
It's a fight to the death!
[04:28] Blade
What a sick joke.
[04:30] Blade
That's fine and all, but can
you make it easier to distinguish?
[04:33] Blade
I can't tell the difference!
[04:35] King
Distinguish between what?
[04:37] Blade
It's way too realistic!
[04:39] Blade
The way it is now, even after we go back,
[04:41] Blade
there's bound to be someone who thinks
they're still in virtua-whatsit,
[04:43] Blade
and slaughters their friends!
[04:47] King
That would not do.
[04:49] King
Well, how about this, then?
[04:58] King
Okay, keep on fighting hard from here on out!
[05:02] King
The last one standing gets the right to use
virtual reality however they want as a reward!
[05:13] Blade
Guess I have no choice
but to end this quickly.
[05:17] Leonard
My lord dearest!
[05:19] Leonard
The honor of facing you in combat is mine—
[05:22] Leonard
Ow!
[05:34] Leonard
Even as you tear me to pieces...
[05:37] Leonard
how beautiful you are!
[05:51] Earnest
Where are you, Blade?
[05:53] Earnest
Hi-yah!
[06:03] Claire
Yessica!
[06:07] Kassim
Give it up already.
[06:10] Kassim
Ever since our days in the lower classes,
[06:13] Kassim
you've never beaten us in a fight.
[06:15] Claire
That may be so, but you
never know until you try!
[06:19] Yessica
Yep. The winner is whoever's stronger now!
[06:23] Yessica
So, Clay...
[06:25] Yessica
Why do you refuse to lose to us?
[06:28] Group
Huh?! Well, that's...
[06:35] Kassim
Shoot—
[06:36] Kassim
Ono!
[06:37] Clay
Kassim!
[06:39] Clay
Uchida!
[06:42] Claire
Huh? W-We won?
[06:44] Claire
We really won?
[06:47] Group
Yay!
[06:55] Earnest
I've been looking for you, Blade.
[06:58] Earnest
I never knew that killing
people was this much fun!
[07:04] Earnest
I've been so stupid,
holding back all this time!
[07:10] Blade
I guess I did promise
[07:13] Blade
that if you ever went berserk, I would...
[07:16] Blade
cut you down!
[07:21] Earnest
Keheheh!
[07:26] Blade
Endless Flash!
[07:39] Blade
I'm Blade!
[07:40] Sophie
We know.
[07:45] King
It looks like you were the
last one standing after all.
[07:48] Cu
Well done, Parent!
[07:50] Yessica
I couldn't even tell what
he did there at the end.
[07:54] Claire
Yeah.
[07:54] Claire
It was so sudden,
I didn't even feel any pain.
[07:59] Earnest
I can't believe it!
[08:01] Earnest
To think I behaved like that...
[08:03] Blade
Oh yeah, you were laughing like, "Keheheh!"
[08:05] Earnest
Shut up!
[08:06] Earnest
Be quiet,
[08:07] Earnest
you superorganism!
[08:09] Blade
No, I'm as ordinary as can be!
[08:13] King
Wallowing in misery is yet
another part of youth!
[08:15] King
Youth is a splendid thing, indeed!
[08:19] King
This is all thanks to my brilliant idea!
[08:22] Earnest
Your Majesty.
[08:24] Earnest
Do you know how much trouble
we've faced thanks to your brilliant idea?
[08:35] King
Oh? Going to have fun with it already?
[08:38] King
It's your right as the victor!
[08:40] King
Enjoy it to the fullest!
[08:43] King
Oh? Is that data of ferocious demons?
[08:46] Blade
Yep.
[08:46] King
Scattered all throughout the level?
[08:49] Blade
Yep.
[08:49] King
Booby-trapped floors?
[08:50] Blade
Yep.
[08:52] King
Hold on.
[08:53] King
Don't you think these settings are
a little too extreme, even for you?
[08:57] Blade
It's fine.
[09:00] King
Huh?
[09:05] Blade
Can you make him keep on
respawning, even if he dies?
[09:08] Siren
Yes, I can.
[09:11] Siren
How long should I continue his punishment?
[09:13] Blade
Until nightfall, then.
[09:15] Siren
Certainly.
[09:17] Blade
I'm starving! Let's go get lunch!
[09:38] Blade
Mmm! Delicious!
[09:40] Blade
Tonkatsu curry is so good!
[09:42] Blade
What the heck? It never stops!
[09:44] Yessica
Hey, you two.
[09:46] Yessica
When are you gonna get over it?
[09:48] Claire
That's right.
[09:49] Earnest
Did something happen?
[09:51] Blade
Those four had a tag match,
and the girls won.
[09:57] Earnest
What led to the girls winning?
[09:59] Blade
Claire's gotten way better.
[10:02] Claire
Th-That's not true!
[10:04] Blade
As well as Yessica's do-or-die attack.
[10:06] Yessica
A woman's gotta be daring!
[10:08] Earnest
What led to the boys losing, then?
[10:10] Blade
Probably their complacency
about their skills.
[10:14] Blade
They got conceited and
neglected their training.
[10:18] Earnest
Not mincing your words, huh?
[10:23] Blade
It's for their own good.
[10:29] King
My back! My back! My back!
[10:34] Blade
When did the king get around to
building something like this?
[10:38] Dione
Oh! I've been waiting for you, Great—
[10:41] Dione
I mean, Blade!
[10:43] Blade
So, what in the world
is this "thermae" thing?
[10:45] Sophie
It says—
[10:46] Eliza
Allow me to explain!
[10:49] Group
Who are you?
[10:50] Eliza
I'm Eliza!
[10:51] Dione
Well, in any case,
you'll know when you go inside!
[10:56] Dione
Welcome to Thermae Rosewood!
[11:03] Blade
So these are thermae!
[11:06] Blade
A nice, big bath isn't bad, either!
[11:08] Cu
This is fun!
[11:10] Cu
Sophie, let's swim!
[11:12] Sophie
Is that a command?
[11:15] Dione
Three hero-level warriors were
summoned here to dig these baths.
[11:20] Blade
I can't believe that old fogey.
[11:22] Cu
Ya-ha!
[11:24] Sophie
Ya-ha.
[11:27] Blade
You're not Mao today?
[11:29] Maria
If I switched with Mao,
she would take off the swimsuit.
[11:33] Blade
What's wrong with that?
[11:35] Maria
What?!
[11:36] Yessica
Not all the guys here are
five-year-olds, you know.
[11:48] Blade
Oh, yeah.
[11:49] Blade
Where's Earnest?
[11:51] Yessica
Ah, I bet she didn't come.
[11:53] Yessica
She seemed against it.
[11:54] Earnest
I-I'm right here!
[11:57] Earnest
Mixed bathing?
[11:58] Earnest
H-How indecent!
[12:00] Earnest
How shameless!
[12:04] King
Looks like you're all enjoying the thermae!
[12:07] Earnest
Your Majesty?!
[12:08] Earnest
Please cover yourself!
[12:10] King
What are you saying?
[12:11] King
Thermae are meant to be entered in the nude!
[12:14] Earnest
We need swimsuits, since it's mixed bathing!
[12:19] Siren
Gil.
[12:19] King
I guess I have to accept that.
[12:21] King
I can accept swimsuits...
[12:24] King
However!
[12:25] King
Don't wear a towel in the bath!
[12:27] Earnest
What?!
[12:28] King
It's a part of our kingdom's constitution!
[12:31] King
Thou shalt not wear towels in the bath!
[12:34] Earnest
Since when?!
[12:35] Earnest
Are you an idiot?!
[12:36] King
Since three seconds ago!
[12:39] Siren
Gil. There's nothing of the
sort in our constitution...
[12:42] King
I want to see naked girls!
[12:45] King
I'd do anything to see them naked!
[12:47] King
But if that's not possible...
[12:49] King
I at least want to see them in swimsuits!
[12:51] King
Don't you all agree?
[12:54] Group
We do!
[12:57] King
That's the spirit!
[12:58] Earnest
Hey!
[12:59] Earnest
You guys!
[13:00] Yessica
C'mon, Anna, can't you just take it off?
[13:03] Yessica
Besides, hasn't the value of seeing
you naked plummeted already?
[13:07] Earnest
Plummeted?!
[13:09] Yessica
I mean, during the simurgh incident,
you were running around town buck naked!
[13:14] Earnest
That was because I was fighting!
[13:16] Yessica
I have no clue why you're still embarrassed.
[13:19] Claire
I wouldn't want to take off my swimsuit,
[13:21] Claire
but what's wrong with taking off the towel?
[13:24] Claire
Everyone else already has.
[13:26] Leonard
My lord!
[13:26] Mob B
Yeah, yeah!
[13:28] Mob B
Claire's totally right!
[13:28] Mob E
Why does the Empress get special treatment?!
[13:30] Group
Take it off! Take it off!
[13:31] Earnest
Wait...
[13:32] Earnest
I'm not taking it off!
[13:32] Group
Strip her! Strip her!
[13:35] King
Take it off!
[13:36] King
Just take it all off!
[13:37] King
Lay bare your youthful, nude form!
[13:39] King
If you won't take it off,
I'll amend the constitution!
[13:41] King
From now on, wearing any clothes
in this kingdom will be—
[13:47] King
Hello! Splash!
[13:49] Siren
Everyone, I'm terribly sorry about this.
[13:56] Earnest
Sheesh! I just have to take it off, right?
[13:58] Earnest
I can take this towel off just fine!
[14:04] Earnest
Don't stare at me too much.
[14:07] Blade
Sure, I won't look.
[14:09] Claire
U-Um...
[14:11] Claire
Do you have a minute?
[14:14] Claire
What happened earlier today...
[14:16] Claire
Y-You shouldn't worry about it so much.
[14:19] Claire
That was just a fluke.
[14:21] Claire
I'm sure of it, I think...
[14:23] Clay
No. We were just thinking about it again now.
[14:26] Kassim
It was all because of our lack of skills...
[14:29] Claire
No way!
[14:31] Claire
You two really are way stronger than us!
[14:35] Earnest
Hey, Blade...
[14:36] Blade
What?
[14:37] Earnest
You know how people talk about
"rubbing salt in the wound"?
[14:41] Blade
Yeah.
[14:42] Earnest
I think I now truly understand what it means.
[14:46] Blade
Me, too.
[14:47] Claire
Um, so...
[14:50] Claire
I'm sorry for winning!
[14:56] Yessica
You made them cry.
[14:57] Maria
She sure did.
[14:59] Sophie
Yes, she did.
[15:00] Cu
Clay and Kassim are hopeless!
[15:03] Earnest
Aw, man.
[15:07] Blade
Hey, cheer up already!
[15:09] Blade
All you did was lose once!
[15:11] Clay
You wouldn't understand.
[15:14] Kassim
You've never lost to a girl!
[15:15] Kassim
More like, you don't lose to anyone.
[15:18] Kassim
Being a superorganism and all.
[15:19] Blade
I don't let it get to me when I lose.
[15:24] Clay
Well, I can't stand it!
[15:26] Clay
I wouldn't mind if it was anyone else.
[15:28] Clay
But I don't want to lose against Yessica!
[15:31] Blade
Yessica? Why her?
[15:32] Clay
Isn't it obvious?!
[15:34] Clay
I... l-like Yessica!
[15:43] Blade
I like Yessica, too.
[15:45] Clay
What?!
[15:46] Kassim
I thought you liked Earnest, or Sophie!
[15:48] Blade
I like them, too!
[15:50] Blade
As well as Cu and Maria.
[15:52] Blade
I like you and everyone else, too.
[15:54] Group
Eh?!
[15:55] Clay
Oh, I see. That kind of like.
[15:57] Kassim
That's not what we're talking about here.
[16:00] Blade
How's it different?
[16:01] Kassim
See here!
[16:02] Kassim
I'm sure you've figured
it out, but I like Claire!
[16:07] Kassim
Claire... she's so great.
[16:10] Kassim
She comes off as just your typical girl...
[16:14] Kassim
but she can be ruthless sometimes,
which is good in its own way!
[16:18] Blade
I see. I don't get it.
[16:19] Clay
Yessica, too!
[16:20] Clay
She seems so free and uninhibited,
[16:23] Clay
and I bet she's got tons of experience.
[16:25] Blade
I see. I really don't get it.
[16:27] Clay
But despite all that,
she's really kind and caring!
[16:31] Kassim
Claire as well!
[16:32] Blade
I do get that part.
[16:35] Cu
So that's what was troubling you?
[16:38] Cu
The answer is simple!
[16:40] Cu
You two just need to get stronger!
[16:43] Group
Huh?
[16:44] Cu
Listen up!
[16:45] Cu
Females are attracted to strong males!
[16:47] Cu
Get stronger, and they'll be all over you!
[16:49] Cu
Head over heels for you!
[16:51] Blade
Cu, be a little more serious here—
[16:53] Kassim
Sh-She's right!
[16:55] Clay
Yeah!
[16:56] Clay
But how are we supposed to get stronger?
[16:59] Cu
That's simple as well!
[17:01] Cu
You just need special training from Parent!
[17:04] Group
Ah! That's right!
[17:11] Earnest
Mmm, so tasty!
[17:13] Yessica
This cake is good, right?
[17:15] Yessica
And chock-full of calories!
[17:16] Earnest
Oh, no!
[17:18] Earnest
No, no, no!
[17:19] Claire
Um, Anna...
[17:20] Claire
We're having a girls'
night tonight because...
[17:20] Earnest
Look, it's so delicious!
[17:22] Maria
Is it about Clay and Kassim?
[17:22] Earnest
I can't imagine life without sweets anymore!
[17:26] Yessica
It's really been a pain.
[17:28] Yessica
They've been running away from us ever since.
[17:31] Earnest
I don't think it's a big deal
to lose to someone once.
[17:34] Yessica
Seriously, getting bummed
out from just that...
[17:37] Yessica
Why are boys so fragile?
[17:40] Claire
Oh, what if we lost to them on purpose?
[17:43] Sophie
You really shouldn't do that.
[17:45] Earnest
They won't be able to recover from that.
[17:47] Claire
Huh? That's no good?
[17:49] Claire
What should we do, then?
[17:50] Cu
The answer is simple!
[17:53] Cu
Males are attracted to strong females!
[17:56] Cu
Get stronger, and they'll be all over you!
[17:58] Cu
Head over heels for you!
[18:01] Yessica
Wait, we're not trying
to make them fall for us.
[18:05] Claire
That's right. We don't see them that way.
[18:08] Earnest
Huh? You don't?
[18:10] Claire
Hey, Yessica...
[18:11] Claire
Why don't we skip practice,
and let those two get stronger than us?
[18:16] Earnest
No! Absolutely not!
[18:19] Earnest
Hey, are you two really okay
with things as they are?
[18:23] Yessica
Well, no, but...
[18:25] Claire
Mm-hmm...
[18:26] Earnest
How about this, then?
[18:30] Blade
1,141! 1,142! 1,143!
[18:36] Blade
These are the lightest we have!
[18:40] Blade
Work those core muscles!
[18:43] Blade
That's amazing.
[19:00] Clay
It's finally time.
[19:01] Blade
Well, no matter the outcome,
[19:03] Blade
I can at least confirm that
you haven't neglected your training!
[19:08] Kassim
If we win this battle...
[19:11] Clay
Yeah!
[19:12] Clay
We'll confess to them!
[19:14] Kassim
Confess!
[19:31] Earnest
No hard feelings, no matter who wins.
[19:34] Blade
Are you ready?
[19:39] Blade
Okay!
[19:42] Blade
Begin!
[19:42] Yessica
Claire! Here we go!
[19:44] Claire
Yeah!
[19:46] Kassim
Coming at us?
[19:47] Clay
No, you don't!
[19:56] Kassim
Take this!
[20:04] Earnest
Blade, did you teach them how
to use their fighting spirit?
[20:08] Blade
I just made them realize they've been
subconsciously using fighting spirit all along.
[20:12] Blade
Also...
[20:15] Blade
Kassim is using wind spiritual energy.
[20:17] Earnest
Hmm...
[20:19] Clay
My chance!
[20:22] Kassim
Fire spiritual energy?!
[20:24] Blade
Did you teach her that?
[20:26] Earnest
Just the fire part.
[20:30] Kassim
Guh!
[20:31] Kassim
Fighting spirit?!
[20:32] Claire
There!
[20:36] Kassim
So it ends here...
[20:38] Yessica
Next, it's...
[20:42] Clay
Huh?
[20:43] Yessica
My turn!
[20:52] Yessica
I'm sorry.
[21:04] Kassim
Well, dang.
[21:06] Clay
You got us good.
[21:08] Kassim
Thanks for not going easy on us.
[21:11] Claire
Yeah.
[21:13] Clay
We're going to get even stronger.
[21:16] Yessica
You go do that.
[21:17] Yessica
Fighting's not even our specialty, you know.
[21:22] Cassim
Hey...
[21:23] Cassim
Did Sophie and Maria teach you how to
use ice and lightning spiritual energy?
[21:28] Yessica
You got it.
[21:28] Claire
The other girls helped us out as well.
[21:31] Clay
Seriously?
[21:32] Clay
That's not fair, all of you ganging up on us.
[21:35] Earnest
Don't give me that!
[21:38] Earnest
How can you call it unfair,
being taught by the superorganism?!
[21:42] Blade
Why's she angry?
[21:43] Earnest
And there's something
I need to say to you two!
[21:46] Group
Huh?
[21:48] Earnest
Is it wrong to fall in love with someone
unless you're stronger than them?
[21:50] Earnest
Or confess to them?!
[21:51] Earnest
You've gotta be kidding!
[21:53] Earnest
That's just asking for way too much!

It sure is cute.
[00:07] Earnest
What are you all up to?

Anna, look at this thing.

So cute!

Nice and smooth.

How long has it been here?

For about a week or so.

Is it waiting here for someone?

Less Than Human
[00:39] Cu
I'm bored!
[00:42] Blade
That's dangerous, Cu!
[00:45] Cu
What was that anyway, Parent?
[00:49] Blade
You remember how they said
I'll die if I use 15% of my strength?
[00:54] Blade
So I figured I'd hone my fighting spirit
on a regular basis, and keep a stockpile.
[00:58] Earnest
Hey, Blade...
[01:00] Earnest
It looks like this thing's
been looking for you.
[01:05] Blade
Instant Dragon Eater!
[01:13] Blade
Oh, I did it!
[01:15] Blade
Looks like I can fire off five more of these!
[01:17] Earnest
Blade!
[01:18] Earnest
Why'd you suddenly send that thing flying?!
[01:21] Claire
My smooth friend...
[01:22] Blade
Look, you have to destroy them!
[01:24] Earnest
Why would you do that?!
[01:26] Earnest
The poor thing!
[01:28] Earnest
It's been looking for you!
[01:30] Blade
Don't you know what it is?
[01:31] Blade
That thing's a Guardian!
[01:32] Sophie
A Guardian?
[01:34] Cu
What's that?
[01:36] Claire
Um, um...
[01:37] Claire
Should I try and fix it up?
[01:39] Blade
Just leave it.
[01:40] Blade
That thing can handle being
wrecked over and over.
[01:43] Blade
Ugh, this sucks, though.
[01:45] Blade
Did it come up aboveground looking for me?
[01:57] Maria
Is she an acquaintance of Blade's?
[02:03] Iona
Will this body do?
[02:06] Blade
Eh?
[02:07] Iona
I have analyzed the human male psyche,
[02:10] Iona
and designed an appearance to
arouse your protective instincts.
[02:14] Blade
Hold on, who are you?
[02:16] Claire
Hey, Blade...
[02:18] Claire
Do you think she's the one from yesterday?
[02:24] Blade
Dragon Eater!
[02:30] Blade
Dragon Eater! Dragon Eater! Dragon Eater!
[02:33] Maria
Blade?!
[02:34] Claire
W-Wait!
[02:35] Earnest
That's too much!
[02:36] Earnest
You're going overboard!
[02:37] Blade
Dragon Eater!
[02:45] Blade
Phew, that was a close one!
[02:47] Earnest
You lousy superorganism!
[02:49] Earnest
What are you doing?!
[02:51] Earnest
You're up against a girl!
[02:52] Earnest
Don't you feel sorry for her?!
[02:53] Blade
Why am I the bad guy here?
[02:55] Blade
Besides, I'm sure that in no time...
[03:00] Blade
See? She's back!
[03:02] Earnest
Yeah.
[03:03] Blade
Okay, let's do this.
[03:04] Earnest
Hold on a second!
[03:05] Earnest
Besides, I don't think she's dangerous.
[03:07] Earnest
Are you sure she doesn't
just want to be friends?
[03:09] Blade
There's no way!
[03:11] Blade
Guardians are bad news!
[03:13] Blade
If they go berserk, then even worse news!
[03:16] Iona
I have received a command to eradicate you.
[03:20] Iona
Currently, I am in
observation mode to gather data.
[03:23] Blade
See, told you!
[03:24] Claire
Hey, hey...
[03:25] Claire
Want to take classes with us?
[03:26] Iona
You are not an eradication target.
[03:29] Iona
However, stand in my way,
and I will eliminate you.
[03:31] Iona
Furthermore, I am not programmed
to perform collaborative tasks.
[03:35] Claire
In that case, you can learn how
to do that with everyone here!
[03:38] Claire
Well, Iona?
[03:40] Iona
Iona?
[03:42] Claire
That says Iona in ancient writing,
doesn't it?
[03:45] Iona
This is not read as Iona, but 1-0-N-A.
[03:48] Iona
It is my identification and model number,
and therefore, not my name.
[03:52] Claire
I see!
[03:53] Claire
But if you don't have a name,
I can call you Iona, right?
[03:58] Yessica
It's just like Claire to come on so strongly.
[04:02] Claire
And if you really want to defeat Blade...
[04:06] Claire
We can all come up with a plan together!
[04:08] Blade
Wait, why?!
[04:11] Claire
How does that sound?
[04:16] Eliza
Let us begin discussing
methods to eradicate Blade!
[04:20] Claire
Hey, Iona...
[04:21] Claire
Why Blade, anyway?
[04:24] Iona
That is because...
[04:25] Iona
he forcefully infiltrated my intimate zone,
[04:29] Iona
desecrating my chassis repeatedly each time.
[04:33] Claire
That's awful, Blade.
[04:35] Blade
Hold it right there!
[04:37] Blade
All I did was trespass on
the area she was guarding!
[04:39] Blade
What's more, I had the master key, didn't I?
[04:42] Blade
I borrowed it from the king.
[04:43] Iona
That is insufficient.
[04:45] Iona
I also require biometric authentication
and a master code genetic signature.
[04:49] Earnest
What's this about?
[04:51] Blade
The Royal Library of Banned Books
is underground near here.
[04:55] Blade
I had to drop in a bit to
look up things about Asmodeus.
[04:58] Earnest
What?!
[04:59] Earnest
So you mean it's because you were helping me?
[05:02] Iona
There were 13 more instances
of trespassing prior to that.
[05:05] Earnest
It wasn't my fault at all.
[05:07] Iona
I was destroyed 28 times in total...
[05:09] Earnest
Blade, that's way too many times!
[05:11] Iona
With my body being divided
into 577,526 fragments...
[05:16] Earnest
Blade, that's way too many pieces!
[05:18] Iona
And reprimanded by Mother, my supervisor,
for 500,037,000 milliseconds...
[05:23] Earnest
Your boss lectures you for way too long!
[05:25] Blade
She attacked me first, so I had
no choice but to fight back.
[05:30] Yessica
Blade, you're so merciless!
[05:32] Claire
Blade, that's way too mean!
[05:34] Mao
Your heinous behavior sickens
even the Demon King.
[05:40] Blade
I'm leaving!
[05:41] Earnest
We made him sulk.
[05:50] Sophie
Blade.
[05:51] Blade
Everyone's so mean!
[05:53] Blade
I only broke into the library because
of my duties as the Great Hero!
[05:57] Sophie
Yes. I know.
[05:59] Blade
Besides, those things keep their
souls in a separate location,
[06:03] Blade
so it's not like they die when
you destroy their bodies.
[06:05] Sophie
If they did die upon destruction,
what would you do?
[06:10] Blade
Well, I mean... I'd have to think about it.
[06:13] Blade
I'm not the Great Hero now, anyway.
[06:16] Eliza
Feast your eyes on this!
[06:18] Eliza
I believe this is the
reason why Iona can't win!
[06:22] Yessica
You mean Blade is relentless because
she doesn't die, even when destroyed?
[06:27] Earnest
Oh, totally.
[06:28] Earnest
I could see that.
[06:29] Earnest
Blade can be so weirdly cold,
and downright scary at times.
[06:35] Earnest
He even told me he'd cut me down!
[06:37] Mao
Bragging, are we?
[06:38] Mao
I've got my share of stories, too.
[06:40] Earnest
N-No, I'm not!
[06:41] Iona
Never mind that.
Let's be a little more constructive.
[06:44] Earnest
Never mind that?!
[06:45] Eliza
I think we should focus on ways
to prevent your defeat for now.
[06:50] Iona
This is the result of my thought process.
[06:53] Claire
Why did you decide to look like a girl?
[06:55] Iona
Upon observation, I determined
that he treats women more gently.
[07:00] Earnest
So you figured he'd go easy on you this way?
[07:07] Group
That's adorable!
[07:10] Earnest
I want to adopt her!
[07:11] Claire
So cute!
[07:12] Eliza
Iona.
[07:13] Eliza
I've come up with a strategy.
[07:15] Eliza
I call it...
[07:16] Eliza
the Stand Alone Complex!
[07:19] Eliza
Let me give a simple explanation.
[07:21] Eliza
We directly install Iona's soul
within the Core Unit in her heart,
[07:26] Eliza
placing it in a state
capable of being destroyed.
[07:28] Earnest
Huh? But if you do that...
[07:30] Eliza
Yes. Iona will cease to
become indestructible.
[07:34] Eliza
Would Blade take her down knowing that?
[07:44] Cu
You can do it, Parent!
[07:45] Earnest
Get him! Beat him to a bloody pulp!
[07:47] Claire
Iona! Good luck!
[07:49] Crowd
Go, go! Do your best!
[07:54] Blade
Okay, let's get on with ti!
[07:56] Iona
Blade.
[07:57] Iona
Let me tell you this first.
[07:59] Iona
Right now, I am in Stand Alone mode.
[08:01] Blade
What? Stand Alone?
[08:04] Iona
Presently, my connection to Mother
has been physically severed.
[08:08] Iona
That is to say, I am operating
fully independently,
[08:11] Iona
and cannot be repaired if I am destroyed.
[08:13] Blade
Huh? Hold on...
[08:15] Blade
Since your soul is in a different location...
[08:19] Iona
My weak point is currently right here.
[08:22] Earnest
Hey, there's no reason
to make him cop a feel!
[08:24] Iona
Ten centimeters deep inside
lies my heart and soul.
[08:30] Iona
If it sustains severe damage,
[08:32] Iona
I as an individual unit will
forever cease to exist.
[08:36] Iona
Do you comprehend?
[08:39] Iona
Now, then...
[08:42] Blade
Hey!
[08:52] Blade
Ow!
[08:58] Iona
What is the matter?
[09:00] Blade
Why, you!
[09:01] Blade
Dragon...
[09:05] Blade
Damn it!
[09:18] Blade
Wind pressure alone isn't gonna cut it, huh?
[09:20] Blade
If so...
[09:42] Earnest
The superorganism is grunting and groaning!
[09:46] Mao
She's not half bad.
[09:48] Eliza
It really looks like Blade
can't lay a finger on her!
[09:53] Blade
That smarts!
[09:54] Blade
I'm gonna have a bump now!
[09:56] Blade
Go a little easy, won't you?
[09:58] Iona
Blade, you are the one who will go easy.
[10:01] Iona
I already know it is not in your nature to
employ violence against an innocent girl.
[10:07] Iona
You were defeated because your
attacks are too powerful.
[10:10] Blade
That's not all.
[10:12] Blade
You also didn't give me any chance
to use my less powerful moves.
[10:17] Iona
Now then, please surrender.
[10:19] Iona
Or would you like to grunt
and groan some more?
[10:22] Blade
I give, I give!
[10:24] Blade
I admit defeat.
[10:28] Yessica
She beat Blade!
[10:30] Cu
How frustrating!
[10:31] Claire
That's amazing, Iona!
[10:36] Blade
Ow...
[10:41] Blade
Iona.
[10:52] Iona
V for victory.
[11:00] Blade
You're not gonna eat it?!
[11:01] Blade
Or wait, can you even eat?
[11:03] Iona
I am equipped to break down and
absorb organic matter as energy.
[11:08] Iona
However...
[11:09] Earnest
You're not feeling hungry?
[11:11] Eliza
I believe she's lost motivation
after defeating Blade, her target,
[11:15] Eliza
resulting in burnout syndrome.
[11:18] Yessica
But doesn't that only apply to humans?
[11:22] Iona
If I am met with a matter that
I cannot resolve on my own,
[11:26] Iona
would it be best to discuss it with others?
[11:28] Claire
If you've got problems, tell us about them!
[11:30] Claire
We're all your friends.
[11:33] Iona
In times like these, I would always
turn to Mother for guidance.
[11:37] Cu
Who is this Mother?
[11:39] Eliza
She means the Mother Computer.
[11:41] Eliza
The one who supervises Iona.
[11:43] Iona
Whenever I complete a given command,
[11:46] Iona
I report it to Mother and
am assigned my next mission.
[11:49] Iona
However, even though I have
restored the connection,
[11:53] Iona
Mother continues to refuse it.
[11:56] Iona
For abandoning my duties, unilaterally
blocking the connection, and other reasons,
[12:00] Iona
it seems that I have been declared a
defective unit and my terminal login expunged.
[12:04] Earnest
So you mean... you got fired?
[12:06] Blade
What are these other reasons?
[12:08] Iona
Transmitting around 15 terabytes' worth
of written abuse aimed at Mother.
[12:12] Blade
There's your reason.
[12:14] Iona
I am feeling terribly insecure,
now that I am without a supervisor.
[12:18] Iona
Peek. Stare.
[12:19] Iona
Blade.
[12:21] Iona
Can I call you Master?
[12:23] Blade
No way!
[12:24] Blade
You're asking me to take the
place of your supervisor, right?
[12:27] Iona
That is unfortunate.
[12:29] Iona
If I do not have you become my master,
the counter will keep ticking.
[12:33] Blade
Counter?
[12:34] Iona
Yes.
[12:35] Iona
To prevent them turning berserker
without a chain of command,
[12:38] Iona
all Guardians have a
self-destruct program installed.
[12:42] Group
What?!
[12:47] Eliza
It looks like it decrements every second,
[12:49] Eliza
which means we have a
little over 84 hours left.
[12:52] Iona
Do not fear.
[12:54] Iona
My intent is to self-destruct in a
location with no one else around.
[12:57] Earnest
That's not the issue here!
[12:59] Blade
Ah, I get it already.
[13:00] Blade
That counter should stop if I become
your master or whatever, right?
[13:04] Iona
Yes, most likely.
[13:06] Blade
I'll do it then.
[13:08] Blade
I'll be your master.
[13:10] Iona
Thank you very much, Master.
[13:18] Iona
Here you go, Master.
[13:21] Cu
Tonkatsu curry!
[13:23] Blade
By the way, what's with the getup?
[13:24] Cu
It's so spicy!
[13:25] Iona
It is an ancient attire for servants.
[13:29] Iona
If you command me to stop wearing it, I will.
[13:31] Blade
No, you don't have to stop.
[13:34] Iona
I have received your command.
[13:35] Iona
I will cease to stop wearing it.
[13:37] Iona
What is your next command?
[13:39] Blade
It's nice having you take care of me,
[13:42] Blade
but it feels like I've lost my freedom.
[13:44] Cu
She provides us with food and snacks!
[13:47] Cu
That's a good thing!
[13:49] Sophie
No, it's not.
[13:50] Blade
Sophie?
[13:52] Blade
What's wrong?
[13:53] Blade
If you've got something to say,
then you should say it.
[13:55] Sophie
Is that a command?
[13:57] Blade
Huh? Yeah, sure.
[13:59] Iona
That is not fair, Master.
[14:00] Iona
You will not command me,
yet you do so for Miss Sophie.
[14:04] Blade
You be quiet.
[14:05] Iona
Oh, is that a command?
[14:10] Sophie
I don't like this.
[14:10] Cu
Get off him!
[14:11] Blade
What don't you like?
[14:13] Sophie
She's stealing my character traits!
[14:15] Blade
Huh?
[14:16] Sophie
She's stealing my character traits.
[14:18] Sophie
For one, my expressionless face.
[14:20] Iona
I am not expressionless.
[14:22] Iona
I have 800 different facial
expressions installed.
[14:25] Sophie
Also, how I wait for commands.
[14:27] Iona
That is inevitable.
[14:29] Iona
I am simply following my
instincts as an android.
[14:31] Group
Stare...
[14:33] Sophie
You don't ever give me commands.
[14:35] Sophie
Yet here you are, ordering Iona around.
[14:38] Sophie
This isn't fair.
[14:39] Iona
In that case, let us see which of
us is more deserving of Master.
[14:44] Blade
Eh? Eh?!
[14:45] Cu
I've heard of this!
[14:47] Cu
This is what they call a scene of carnage!
[14:50] Cu
Let there be blood!
[14:52] Blade
I'm begging you,
please don't cause any trouble.
[14:55] Group
Is that a command?
[14:57] Blade
Y-Yeah.
[15:04] Sophie
Meow.
[15:06] Blade
No, don't give me that.
[15:08] Blade
What are you doing?
[15:09] Sophie
Establishing my character.
[15:10] Sophie
Do you think I can beat Iona now?
[15:12] Iona
I see.
[15:13] Iona
It seems we both had the same idea.
[15:15] Iona
Let us have a staring contest instead.
[15:18] Sophie
Just what I wanted.
[15:20] Blade
I don't care anymore.
[15:26] Earnest
An unarmed showdown?
[15:28] Claire
They couldn't settle the staring contest
even after a whole day had passed.
[15:33] Iona
It seems I will have to resort to this.
[15:36] Sophie
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[15:40] Blade
This is supposed to be unarmed combat!
[15:42] Blade
Both of you are disqualified.
[15:46] Iona
Master. Which of us is more skilled?
[15:51] Sophie
Pick the one that feels nicer.
[15:54] Blade
I can't tell the difference.
[15:58] Blade
Huh?
[15:59] Blade
You're going to watch me as I'm fast asleep?
[16:02] Blade
What kind of showdown is this, even?
[16:04] Iona
The one to serve Master must be
someone who always puts you at ease.
[16:10] Sophie
Go on, Blade.
[16:11] Sophie
Sleep like a baby.
[16:14] Blade
Okay, I'm turning the lights off.
[16:23] Iona
Feel free to go to sleep if
you are tired, Miss Sophie.
[16:26] Sophie
I've undergone sleep training.
[16:29] Sophie
I can keep going for up to seven days.
[16:31] Iona
I do not require sleep in the first place.
[16:37] Iona
It seems we will not decide
a victor today, either.
[16:40] Sophie
Agreed.
[16:43] Iona
Lately, I feel as though I would be
okay if we never settled this matter.
[16:49] Iona
I have always been alone.
[16:52] Iona
Always alone, for such a long time.
[16:56] Iona
He was the only one who would come visit me.
[16:59] Sophie
I was all alone as well.
[17:02] Sophie
All alone in my cage in that dark lab.
[17:06] Sophie
I was nobody.
[17:08] Sophie
The single link I had was
my worth as his replica.
[17:14] Sophie
I was able to stay linked with the
world because he was there for me.
[17:18] Sophie
That's how I felt.
[17:20] Iona
I also felt the same way.
[17:24] Iona
It seems that you have become
someone special to me as well.
[17:29] Iona
What should I do about this?
[17:31] Sophie
I'm not sure.
[17:32] Sophie
But this feeling when I compete against you...
[17:37] Sophie
Am I having fun?
[17:39] Iona
I do not know the answer to that question.
[17:41] Iona
Miss Sophie.
[17:43] Iona
As a human, you are better equipped to...
[17:44] Sophie
Sophie.
[17:45] Iona
Pardon?
[17:47] Sophie
Just call me Sophie.
[17:49] Sophie
No title needed.
[17:53] Iona
Understood, Sophie.
[18:02] Iona
Good morning, Sophie.
[18:05] Sophie
Good morning, Iona.
[18:07] Earnest
Looks like you two are good friends now.
[18:10] Earnest
Well? Are you having fun at school?
[18:13] Iona
Yes. Very much so.
[18:16] Blade
Iona. Show me the counter.
[18:19] Iona
Is that a command?
[18:21] Blade
That's right. Show me.
[18:29] Earnest
It's gone down!
[18:30] Earnest
But why?
[18:31] Blade
So it didn't work...
[18:33] Iona
I would not say that
there has been no effect.
[18:36] Iona
The progression of the counter has
slowed down to one-tenth the speed.
[18:40] Eliza
Let me take a look.
[18:41] Eliza
I was afraid that a human as your master
wouldn't work, not even when it's a superorganism.
[18:47] Eliza
Looks like there's about 20 hours left.
[18:51] Blade
What do you want to do?
[18:54] Iona
I would...
[19:01] Iona
If possible, until the last moment,
[19:04] Iona
I would like to be with you
all for as long as possible.
[19:08] Sophie
Iona...
[19:10] Iona
After that, I will go by myself.
[19:12] Iona
I do not wish to cause
injury to anyone around me.
[19:18] Yessica
Let's get the "Send Iona Off
with a Smile" party underway!
[19:28] Iona
Is it all right for me to remain here?
[19:32] Sophie
Yeah.
[19:33] Sophie
Everyone is trying to
make your wish come true.
[19:38] Sophie
So, Iona...
[19:39] Sophie
You should also enjoy this
time as much as you can.
[19:43] Sophie
I don't mean that as a command,
but as your friend.
[19:46] Iona
Yes.
[20:03] Yessica
Anna.
[20:05] Earnest
Did you find that idiot?
[20:06] Yessica
We've looked all over the campus,
but he's nowhere to be found.
[20:11] Earnest
Where has that Blade gone
off to at a time like this?
[20:23] Sophie
Iona!
[20:27] Iona
Thank you very much for today.
[20:30] Iona
I am destined to expire soon.
[20:32] Iona
What meaning is there in appending a
meager amount of data to my memory?
[20:38] Iona
At first, I could not understand it.
[20:40] Iona
However, after spending time with you all,
[20:43] Iona
in the moment before destruction,
I see myself for the first time
[20:48] Iona
and feel as though I understand you humans.
[20:52] Iona
Sophie.
[20:53] Iona
I was less than human, but thanks to you,
I was able to become human.
[21:01] Iona
Please give Master my regards.
[21:04] Iona
Claire.
[21:05] Iona
I still remember the warmth of your hands.
[21:08] Iona
Yessica.
[21:09] Iona
I would have liked to have
more girl talk with you.
[21:12] Iona
Mao.
[21:13] Iona
I leave it to you to eradicate Master.
[21:16] Iona
Cu.
[21:17] Iona
It is fine to be mischievous,
so please grow to be fine and mighty.
[21:23] Iona
Finally, Earnest...
[21:27] Iona
The truth is that I am scared.
[21:31] Iona
I do not want to go away.
[21:37] Iona
Help me.
[21:40] Earnest
I'm sorry, Iona!
[21:41] Sophie
I'm so sorry.
[21:42] Iona
Do not forget me!
[21:43] Iona
Please, do not forget me!
[21:46] Claire
I won't forget you!
[21:47] Yessica
I won't, either!
[21:48] Earnest
I won't forget!
[21:49] Sophie
I won't forget you. I swear.
[21:53] Iona
Thank you.
[21:54] Iona
Farewell.
[22:03] Earnest
Huh?
[22:05] Sophie
She's not detonating.
[22:06] Eliza
What's going on here?
[22:08] Eliza
It should already be time.
[22:14] Blade
Oh, this is where it leads?
[22:17] Blade
Huh? Where's the party?
[22:19] Blade
Wait, is there no food left for me?
[22:23] Earnest
Blade!
[22:24] Earnest
Where have you been this whole time,
skipping the party like that?!
[22:28] Blade
Ah, I went to go see Mother.
[22:30] Earnest
What?
[22:31] Iona
Why?
[22:32] Blade
Well, you were gonna explode
because Mother fired you, right?
[22:37] Blade
That's why...
[22:38] Blade
I went to go persuade her.
[22:40] Blade
With a bit of brute force, as well.
[22:45] Iona
The connection with Mother has been restored.
[22:48] Earnest
Does that mean...
[22:49] Iona
Currently, the self-destruct program...
[22:53] Iona
has met none of its parameters to activate.
[22:58] Iona
Sophie, I...
[23:00] Sophie
Yes.
[23:01] Sophie
What you want most right now.
[23:04] Sophie
You should go and do it.
[23:09] Earnest
If that was the case—
[23:10] Iona
Master!
[23:11] Iona
Master! Master!
[23:14] Iona
Master!
[23:15] Iona
Master!
[23:16] Mao
Well? Not going to stop her?
[23:18] Earnest
Just for today...
[23:19] Iona
Master!
[23:22] Blade
Can't breathe...
[23:24] Iona
Master!
[23:25] Earnest
I changed my mind after all!
[23:27] Earnest
Get off!

Get off him!

Are you okay just staying like this?

I know. Let's draw lots next.
[12:04] Earnest
We'll fill it with only losing lots,
and then Blade can...
[12:08] Leonard
Everyone, what was our original goal again?
[12:13] Yessica
I forgot!
[12:14] Claire
Um...
[12:14] Iona
Searching...
[12:16] Earnest
I want to defeat him!
[12:17] Earnest
Beat him to a bloody pulp!
[12:19] Earnest
And then make him say,
"Earnest, you're so strong!"
[12:22] Earnest
Argh!
[12:23] Leonard
That's right.
[12:24] Leonard
However, my lord...
[12:26] Leonard
In the search to be recognized,
rather than victory,
[12:31] Leonard
could it be that the very process
is what truly gives it meaning?
[12:34] Maria
Leonard...
[12:35] Yessica
Wow, I never thought you'd talk back to Anna!
[12:38] Earnest
None of that matters if you don't win!
[12:40] Earnest
We need to beat him at least once!
[12:41] Earnest
I don't care what it is, as long as we win!
[12:43] Earnest
I just want to make him say uncle!
[12:45] Earnest
Argh!
[12:46] Leonard
"Say uncle"?
[12:48] Iona
Say uncle.
[12:49] Iona
In ancient language,
it means "to admit defeat."
[12:52] Iona
In that case, it is possible.
[12:54] (Flashback) Blade
I give, I give!
[12:56] (Flashback) Blade
I admit defeat.
[12:57] Maria
You're right! He said he gave up!
[12:59] Earnest
You're right!
[13:00] Leonard
You're right!
[13:03] Eliza
The core of that strategy was that
we used Iona's life as a hostage.
[13:08] Iona
Yes.
[13:09] Iona
This means that if we take
hostages this time as well,
[13:11] Iona
it should be possible to defeat Master.
[13:16] Maria
Leonard? What's wrong?
[13:19] Leonard
Well... taking hostages...
[13:21] Earnest
We can defeat Blade!
[13:22] Earnest
I'll drink swamp water
if that's what it takes!

Got it?!

I understand, my lord.
[13:30] Leonard
If that is your wish, I will spare no effort.

I know that!

Hey, Leonard and the others aren't here.
[14:04] Earnest
What?
[14:04] Earnest
Th-That's not true!
[14:06] Yessica
Oh, you know!

Nope.

It refers to people who use violence
to achieve their political goals.

[15:26] Kassim
H-Hey.
[15:28] Clay
Why did you come over here?!
[15:29] Maria
No fair, I want in, too!
[15:31] Iona
As a high-spec machine, I am
best suited to be held hostage.
[15:34] Iona
My performance—
[15:35] Eliza
If we're talking high-spec,
it should be a genius like me!
[15:39] Sophie
I'm fine as long as Blade is happy.
[15:41] Earnest
Hey! You can't all come over here!
[15:43] Maria
You're the one who came over first!

I'm fine. I'm fine.
[16:00] Maria
It's not fair!
[16:02] Yessica
What the heck are we doing?
[16:03] Eliza
We might have a chance with this!

Don't think about it too hard.
[16:05] Iona
Master, please give me a command.

You can all live up your youth without me.

Hey, Cu.

What do you think the word "hostage" means?
[16:20] Cu
Non-perishable food?
[16:22] Blade
Non-perishable food, huh?
[16:24] Earnest
Eek, help me!
[16:24] Blade
Those terrorists came here to accomplish
their political goals with violence, right?
[16:27] Earnest

[16:31] Cu
Political!
[16:31] Earnest
Hurry!
[16:33] Earnest
I'm so scared!
[16:33] Blade
And they took the girls hostage,
to keep them as non-perishable food.

do by taking the girls hostage?

Use them as non-perishable food, of course!
[18:06] Earnest
Really?!

Won't you reconsider it?

Why?

Huh, how festive.
[00:16] Blade
So, what's a birthday?
[00:17] Earnest
Huh?
[00:20] Earnest
The problem is that Blade doesn't
know when his own birthday is.

That means we can't celebrate it.

Truth be told, we don't
know his exact age, either.

[00:39] Maria
do you know the day that they found him?
[00:43] Dione
I believe the Great— Wait, no!
[00:46] Dione
Blade told me about it was once.
[00:49] Dione
It's coming up in about a month.
[00:51] Sophie
I heard that when they found him,
he was holding a sword.
[00:55] Earnest
Ah, so that's why he's named Blade.
[00:57] Claire
Does that mean he'd be Lance
if it had been a lance?
[01:01] Yessica
Club if it was a club?
[01:04] Yessica
Man, that's hilarious!
[01:06] Earnest
Now all we need is something
Blade would like.
[01:09] Claire
What would he want?
[01:11] Earnest
How about tonkatsu curry?
[01:13] Yessica
I'm pretty sure that won't do.
[01:15] Earnest
I-I know that!
[01:16] Earnest
I just can't think of anything else.
[01:19] King
I see!
[01:22] King
Tonkatsu curry as a present!
[01:25] King
Nothing wrong with some tasty food!
[01:27] King
Everyone loves it! I do, too!
[01:31] Yessica
Um, Your Majesty...
[01:32] Yessica
He can get tonkatsu curry in the cafeteria.
[01:35] King
What if it wasn't normal, then?
[01:37] King
Yes!
[01:37] King
You just need to prepare a special,
royal tonkatsu curry for him!
[01:42] Earnest
Huh?
[01:47] King
Now, behold!
[01:51] King
This is the Royal Pantry,
the pride of our kingdom!
[01:55] Earnest
Hey, what's going on?!
[01:57] King
You'll be getting some
hands-on training in here.
[02:01] King
Go on and eat your fill of delicious foods!
[02:05] Group
What?!
[02:13] [SONG] Sign
I look in your eyes, and I'm met with
[02:17] [SONG] Sign
A brand-new me and dream
[02:31] [SONG] Sign
Bravery? Naturally?
[02:34] [SONG] Sign
Polar opposites within the heart
[02:37] [SONG] Sign
But, you know, wanting to have both
[02:39] [SONG] Sign
That's the saga of human nature
[02:42] [SONG] Sign
Oh no, don't mind me
[02:44] [SONG] Sign
Go ahead, and so on, you know the rest
[02:47] [SONG] Sign
A little more? Wait, even harder?!
[02:50] [SONG] Sign
Going overboard much?
[02:53] [SONG] Sign
Those selfish emotions deep down
[02:55] [SONG] Sign
Bringing them to light is what friendship's about
[02:57] [SONG] Sign
Spending adolescence duking it out with pals

I don't wanna lose

We're off to the cutting edge moment

SIGN Episode 10
SIGN I'm Looking for
Something
Tastier than Me
[03:41] Blade
What are you gonna make us do this time?
[03:44] Claire
Um, we're underneath the castle, aren't we?
[03:48] Maria
Could this be some sort of ancient,
grand magic that collapses space on itself?
[03:56] King
Those doors will not open until the
required condition has been met!
[04:01] Siren
The condition to open the doors...
[04:03] Siren
is to consume a combined total
of 11.3 billion calories.
[04:08] Clay
100 million calories per person?!
[04:10] Blade
So we have to survive out here until then?
[04:13] Cu
Sniff, sniff...
[04:14] Cu
I smell lots of tasty things!
[04:16] Dione
Exactly!
[04:18] Dione
There are ingredients preserved here
that date back to the age of the gods.
[04:22] King
We say preserved, but all the plants and
animals here are uncontrollably violent,
[04:27] King
so in reality, they've been
allowed to run rampant.
[04:30] King
Thin out their numbers a bit, won't you?
[04:34] Blade
Hey, that's a job for a group
of hero-level warriors!
[04:40] Blade
Are you really gonna make us students do it?
[04:42] Blade
Right, Earnest?
[04:44] Earnest
Okay!
[04:44] Earnest
Here we go, everyone!
[04:47] Clay
First, we need to establish a campsite!
[04:49] Cassim
Yep.
[04:51] Cu
Parent!
[04:53] Cu
I can hardly wait!
[04:55] Blade
Huh?
[05:00] Yessica
Hey! Over here!
[05:04] Yessica
This way! Right here!
[05:07] Leonard
Magnificent!
[05:08] Leonard
Now, get it in the pit trap...
[05:10] Claire
Leonard!
[05:17] Claire
Hey, why me?!
[05:20] Yessica
Ah, I guess it thinks Claire looks tastier.
[05:24] Leonard
Watch out! Mademois—
[05:26] Maria
Leonard!
[05:29] Mao
Fighting weaklings is no fun, but...
[05:32] Blade
What happened?!
[05:33] Blade
Hey! Are you alright?!
[05:36] Mao
Well, if I must.
[05:37] Mao
Satan Levin.
[05:42] Yessica
Yes! Now we have food!
[05:44] Blade
Oh, it's already over?
[05:48] Clay
Open the gates!
[05:51] Student
There!
[05:52] Student
Okay, all good?
[06:04] Eliza
If we build more lookout towers here,
[06:06] Eliza
we'll be equipped to
confront outside invaders!
[06:19] Earnest
What about the repairs to the southern wall?
[06:20] Yessica
Yeah, we just finished.
[06:23] Earnest
I understand.
[06:24] Earnest
Everyone!
[06:25] Earnest
It's almost time for dinner,
so work hard until then!
[06:34] Blade
Maybe the king came up with
a good exercise this time.
[06:42] Earnest
Don't stare too much.
[06:45] Blade
Okay, I won't look.
[06:53] Earnest
You're really not looking?
[06:55] Blade
You're the one who told me not to.
[07:01] Earnest
Hey.
[07:01] Earnest
What were you like as a child?
[07:05] Earnest
Well, you know...
[07:06] Earnest
Like, do you remember any celebrations?
[07:08] Blade
Huh?
[07:10] Blade
I basically spent 24 hours a day fighting.
[07:12] Earnest
Eh?
[07:13] Earnest
Were you training to become
stronger or something?
[07:16] Blade
Nope, just fighting for my life.
[07:19] Blade
You'll die if you're weaker
than whoever attacks you.
[07:22] Blade
So getting stronger was just a fact of life.
[07:24] Blade
Become stronger or die.
[07:26] Blade
I was faced with that decision every day.
[07:29] Earnest
What are you saying?
[07:30] Blade
What?
[07:31] Blade
You asked what I was like as a kid.
[07:38] Earnest
Hey, Blade, I...
[07:47] Yessica
Wait, Claire!
[07:48] Claire
Don't go any further than that!
[07:50] Earnest
Huh? You two...
[07:52] Earnest
Y-Y-You...
[07:53] Earnest
You were watching?!
[08:02] Cassim
We sure did get used to living here.
[08:06] Leonard
I wonder how many calories we've consumed.
[08:08] Iona
Including today's share, we have
reached 47% of our calorie target.
[08:14] Iona
According to my high-spec
powers of calculation,
[08:17] Iona
we will most certainly meet our
target by the designated date.
[08:23] King
Very impressive!
[08:25] King
It seems your survival
exercise is going well.
[08:27] Boy Student B
Survival?
[08:28] Girl Student B
Has the king forgotten the original goal?
[08:30] King
Ah...
[08:33] King
As you've worked to survive,
you've all grown so much,
[08:36] King
and it seems the original task
might be a little too easy for you.
[08:39] King
And so!
[08:42] King
I've prepared a special challenge!
[08:44] King
I want you all to gather the
ingredients listed here!
[08:58] Blade
How are these different from the
ingredients we've faced so far?
[09:01] King
Will you accept the challenge?
[09:09] Earnest
Okay, let's go get that reward!
[09:15] Blade
That's...
[09:19] Blade
Cabbage!
[09:20] Earnest
Yep, cabbage.
[09:21] Sophie
Cabbage.
[09:22] Cu
I don't like veggies!
[09:31] Maria
That's an Emperor Cabbage!
[09:33] Earnest
Emperor?
[09:34] Maria
The cabbage cultivar originally
stored in the Royal Pantry
[09:37] Maria
went feral in these hostile conditions,
[09:39] Maria
and underwent adaptive evolution!
[09:44] Earnest
I'll burn it to a crisp!
[09:46] Sophie
You can't.
[09:47] Sophie
We need it to be raw.
[09:49] Earnest
Ah, that's right.
[09:51] Earnest
Everyone!
[09:52] Earnest
Let's reinforce our defenses
and charge in all at once!
[09:54] Blade
Why raw?
[09:56] Blade
Whoa!
[09:57] Leonard
Understood, my lord.
[09:58] Kassim
Sure, let's do it!
[10:02] Blade
Everyone's really fired up for some reason.
[10:05] Earnest
We've captured the Emperor Cabbage!
[10:15] Maria
There's no mistaking it.
[10:16] Maria
That's Boxing Corn.
[10:18] Blade
I get the corn part...
[10:20] Blade
But what's boxing?
[10:22] Sophie
An ancient contest where you
fight with only your fists.
[10:28] Blade
Hey! You wanna go?
[10:30] Sophie
No, Blade.
[10:31] Blade
Eh?
[10:32] Sophie
If you don't follow the procedure for
defeating it, it won't taste good.
[10:36] Sophie
You can only use your fists.
[10:37] Blade
You're kidding me!
[10:38] Maria
Um...
[10:39] Maria
You can capture it if the
match goes to a decision,
[10:42] Maria
and you let it burn out to pure white ash.
[10:44] Claire
What does decision refer to here?
[10:46] Blade
So I can't knock it out?!
[10:49] Blade
Wait!
[10:50] Blade
If it's a fist fight, shouldn't
Sophie or Iona fight instead?
[10:52] Sophie
No substitutions allowed.
[10:54] Sophie
The bell has already rung.
[10:55] Blade
H-Hey! Still—
[11:00] Blade
In that case, here I come!
[11:10] Earnest
We've managed to capture the Boxing Corn.
[11:13] Earnest
Good work, Blade.
[11:15] Earnest
Wait, you too?!
[11:16] Group
Go!
[11:20] Group
Go!
[11:22] Leonard
What's going on here?
[11:25] Earnest
The spice is so strong,
it's leaching out into the air.
[11:29] Iona
What a sorry sight you all are.
[11:31] Iona
You will not be able to
become top-class like that.
[11:34] Leonard
No, just look at you.
[11:35] Iona
These are not tears.
[11:39] Iona
This is cleaning solution for my eyeballs!
[11:44] Group
Go!
[11:45] Cu
Sniff, sniff...
[11:46] Cu
Those sunflowers are giving
off a tasty smell, too!
[11:58] Maria
Um...
[11:59] Maria
Those are Sunflowers.
[12:01] Maria
They can—
[12:09] Eliza
This isn't good!
[12:10] Eliza
It looks like they have the ability to
store sunlight and then discharge it!
[12:13] Mao
Interesting.
[12:15] Mao
I'll show these lowly Sunflowers
what happens when they oppose me!
[12:21] Cu
We dragons won't lose, either!
[12:24] Eliza
I'll just cheer you on, yep.
[12:28] Blade
It's a carrot.
[12:29] Claire
Yes, a carrot.
[12:30] Yessica
Is it going to bite or spit fire at us?
[12:33] Iona
No signs of movement.
[12:35] Blade
Guess I'll try pulling it out.
[12:38] Blade
Hup!
[12:39] Earnest
Ah! H-Hold it right there!
[12:40] Blade
Huh?
[12:44] Blade
What? A psychological attack?!
[12:46] Earnest
There's some very tiny writing at the bottom.
[12:49] Earnest
A Greater Mandora will
shriek when it's uprooted.
[12:52] Yessica
Hey!
[12:53] Yessica
It says here that its
scream is a lethal curse!
[12:56] Claire
Good thing we noticed before it was too late.
[12:58] Kassim
What do we do about this?
[13:01] Blade
Iona?
[13:02] Iona
I am not human, so curses meant for
living organisms have no effect.
[13:08] Iona
Hup.
[13:21] Earnest
Is it over?
[13:22] Iona
It should be safe now.
[13:29] Blade
That reminds me... I don't really like carrots.
[13:33] Earnest
Huh? Really?
[13:34] Blade
Well, I don't mind eating
them when they're in a dish.
[13:37] Earnest
I-I see...
[13:45] King
Yes!
[13:46] King
You're all doing splendidly!
[13:48] King
What remarkable progress!
[13:50] King
Thanks to you, the ecosystem of the
Royal Pantry has undergone a drastic change!
[13:55] Siren
The population will be about one-tenth
what it was for the next few years.
[14:00] Earnest
Huh?
[14:00] Earnest
Is that a good thing?
[14:02] Earnest
Won't they go extinct?
[14:04] King
They wouldn't give us so much trouble
if we could make them go extinct.
[14:07] King
They're just like the weeds in your garden.
[14:12] King
Don't sweat the small stuff!
[14:14] King
Yes!
[14:15] King
Tomorrow, you face the final ingredient!
[14:18] King
The moment of truth!
[14:22] Cu
Look at this big tree!
[14:25] Iona
We are at the base of the main trunk.
[14:27] Iona
The energy leaked from the engine is
most highly concentrated in this area.
[14:32] Eliza
In other words, it's the
spot richest in nutrients.
[14:35] Eliza
It makes sense that the creature
known as the king of the pantry
[14:38] Eliza
would choose to occupy this location.
[14:43] Earnest
Here it comes, everyone!
[14:49] Earnest
So this is the king!
[14:51] Sophie
The list simply says it's the Beast King.
[14:54] Sophie
Also that it's strong and tasty.
[14:57] Yessica
That's way too vague!
[15:01] King
What's the point of youth
without hazards and adversity?
[15:05] King
It's only after you've overcome those
that triumph and glory await!
[15:09] Dione
Blade!
[15:10] Dione
You can do it!
[15:15] Blade
Okay! Everyone!
[15:19] Blade
Eh?
[15:28] Group
What?!
[15:29] Siren
That's a Behemoth.
[15:31] King
Oh?
[15:32] King
I had planned for beef to be the main dish,
but Behemoth meat is a fine choice, too.
[15:37] King
Go on, hunt it down!
[15:38] King
It defeated the old king, so there's
no problem calling it the Beast King!
[15:43] King
Behemoth meat is far tastier
than beef, you know!
[15:52] Blade
Hey, now, that's outrageous!
[15:54] Earnest
Hmm, does a Behemoth really taste that good?
[15:58] Blade
Eh?
[15:58] Earnest
What a relief.
[16:00] Earnest
We were about to make something
so disappointing the main dish!
[16:04] Earnest
Don't you all agree?
[16:06] Blade
Huh? Why?!
[16:09] King
How reassuring!
[16:10] King
How very reassuring!
[16:12] Earnest
O sword! Consume my flesh!
[16:14] Earnest
Use it as thy power!
[16:18] Earnest
Everyone! Here we go!
[16:24] Blade
Alright!
[16:36] Yessica
Claire, over here as well!
[16:38] Claire
Yeah, leave them to me!
[16:44] Earnest
Now!
[16:56] Earnest
Did we get it?
[17:01] Earnest
It had no effect?!
[17:05] Earnest
Oh, no!
[17:07] Leonard
God Technique! Absolute Defense!
[17:16] Earnest
Blade!
[17:17] Blade
There's only one technique
that can take it down.
[17:21] Mao
I see.
[17:22] Mao
But how?
[17:23] Mao
It's not a technique you can use
with only 15% of your power available.
[17:28] Blade
Yeah, it requires at least 30%.
[17:31] Blade
Which is why I need your assistance, Mao.
[17:35] Blade
Please take some of my spiritual energy!
[17:39] Mao
Interesting.
[17:40] Mao
You wish to use me as a vessel?
[17:43] Mao
Incredible.
[17:44] Mao
However, this way is faster.
[17:53] Mao
I'm about to overflow.
[17:55] Mao
You've filled me to the brim.
[17:56] Blade
R-Right...
[17:57] Earnest
How long are you gonna keep us waiting?!
[17:59] Blade
R-Right!
[18:00] Blade
Now, if I hone my fighting spirit...
[18:02] Earnest
Everyone! It's almost time!
[18:05] Sophie
You can count on us.
[18:06] Sophie
10 seconds, Iona.
[18:08] Iona
Yes.
[18:09] Iona
Interconnect link complete.
[18:12] Iona
Transmitting power.
[18:13] Sophie
Artificial Great Hero Power:
Gravity Manipulation.
[18:20] Iona
Target confirmed.
[18:22] Iona
Firing Positronium Cannon.
[18:34] Earnest
We can't fully immobilize it!
[18:35] Clay
We'll stop that thing!
[18:43] Blade
Here we go, Demon King.
[18:44] Mao
Very well, Great Hero.
[18:51] Blade
Stand back, everyone!
[18:54] Group
If good be in my path, strike down all good.
[18:57] Group
If evil be in my path, strike down all evil.
[19:06] Group
Holy Demon Blade!
[19:19] Mao
This was the technique you defeated me with.
[19:23] Blade
I can't use it...
by myself anymore, though...
[19:27] Blade
It's thanks to... you taking half...
[19:31] Mao
What, Great Hero?
[19:32] Mao
Are you going to die?
[19:35] Blade
No, I'm not.
[19:36] Blade
I'm just tired.
[19:38] Blade
Also...
[19:39] Mao
Also?
[19:40] Blade
I'm so hungry!
[19:45] Mao
Just you wait, then.
[19:48] Blade
For what...
[19:59] Doctor
It's gone up by 3%.
[20:02] Blade
What?
[20:02] Doctor
You can use up to 18% of your strength now.
[20:06] Blade
Why hasn't it gone down?
[20:08] Doctor
Eating properly, getting moderate exercise...
[20:11] Doctor
Also, taking some time to
recuperate probably helped.
[20:13] Blade
I wonder if it was the open-air baths...
[20:16] Doctor
By the way, have you eaten lunch?
[20:18] Blade
Ah! That's right, I haven't yet!
[20:20] Blade
I'm off to go eat!
[20:29] Group
Happy birthday, Blade!
[20:34] Earnest
Today is your birthday.
[20:36] Blade
Huh? It is?
[20:38] Earnest
For people who don't know
when they were born,
[20:40] Earnest
they usually celebrate their birthday
on the day they were fostered.
[20:43] Blade
Huh? What?
[20:45] Cu
You were taken in on this day, 17 years ago!
[20:49] Iona
Master.
[20:50] Iona
Humans should celebrate their
birth and annihilation.
[20:54] Blade
You're all going to celebrate it?
[20:56] Blade
For me?
[20:57] Earnest
Now you're the same age as me.
[20:59] Blade
You were older than me?!
[21:01] Earnest
That's right!
[21:02] Earnest
So show some respect!
[21:05] Yessica
Blade really never had anyone
celebrate his birthday.
[21:09] Blade
No, I haven't.
[21:10] Blade
Um, what's this?
[21:12] Claire
We were all brainstorming.
[21:14] Claire
To figure out what to get
you for your birthday.
[21:18] Claire
And Anna suggested this.
[21:20] Earnest
I thought you might like it.
[21:25] Blade
Tonkatsu curry!
[21:26] Earnest
Let me point out that everything
is from the Royal Pantry!
[21:29] Earnest
Made with the ultimate gourmet ingredients,
[21:31] Earnest
it's a one-of-a-kind, special tonkatsu curry!
[21:35] Earnest
We got help from His Majesty as well.
[21:39] King
Why, it was all quite amusing!
[21:41] Blade
So you all did this for me...
[21:45] King
Well? Not going to eat it?
[21:48] Blade
Well, I'm just not used
to this kind of thing...
[21:59] King
What's wrong?
[22:01] King
What reason is there to hold back?
[22:03] Blade
Someone told me a long time ago.
[22:07] Blade
That boys should never cry.
[22:09] King
You fool!
[22:10] King
Manly tears are meant for
an occasion like this!
[22:14] King
In the name of the king, Gilgamesh Soulmaker,
[22:18] King
I hereby retract any past statements
that men shouldn't cry!
[22:18] Sign
The sunny disposition that brings a smile to your face
[22:22] King
Go ahead and cry!
[22:23] Sign
As well as the heroic sense of justice
[22:29] Sign
They may be a part of me, but that's not all there is
[22:29] Blade
Thank you, everyone!
[22:33] Blade
This tastes really good!

The dangers that we keep hidden

We're all hiding them within

Standing ready to strike
[23:01] [SONG] Sign
The shadow lurking beneath the light

The muffled sounds coming from my lips

Dragon...
[00:02] Clay
Smash!
[00:08] Kassim
Whoa, awesome!
[00:10] Clay
I-I did it!
[00:12] Blade
You just have to store up spirit, hone it,
give it a "hiyah," and then go "bang!"
[00:17] Kassim
Man, I'm surprised you pulled
it off based on that, Clay.
[00:21] Clay
Sophie!
[00:22] Clay
Do you want to learn how to use it, too?
[00:25] Kassim
No need to be shy!
[00:29] Clay
Yeah.
[00:30] Clay
You just store up spirit, hone it, give
it a "gyuwawah," and then go "boom!"
[00:33] Kassim
Huh?
[00:33] Kassim
That's not what he said.
[00:35] Clay
Wait, really?
[00:40] Une
Dragon Smash.
[00:51] Kassim
What's going on?!
[00:53] Blade
Well, this is what Dragon Smash
is supposed to look like.
[00:56] Kassim
Seriously?!
[00:57] Kassim
Clay's was so wimpy!
[01:00] Clay
You're really amazing, Sophie.
[01:02] Clay
It took me so many days to get it.
[01:04] Sophie
Everyone, get away from her.
[01:05] Group
What?!
[01:12] Sophie
Blade.
[01:13] Sophie
This is my battle to fight.
[01:16] Sophie
I'll protect you.
[01:20] Group
Th-There are two Sophies?!
[01:23] Earnest
Wh-What's the meaning of this?!
[01:25] Maria
A duplication technique?
[01:28] Une
Dragon Smash.
[01:36] Earnest
What was that?
[01:37] Blade
Beats me.
[01:49] [SONG] Sign
I look in your eyes, and I'm met with
[01:53] [SONG] Sign
A brand-new me and dream
[02:07] [SONG] Sign
Bravery? Naturally?
[02:10] [SONG] Sign
Polar opposites within the heart
[02:13] [SONG] Sign
But, you know, wanting to have both
[02:15] [SONG] Sign
That's the saga of human nature
[02:18] [SONG] Sign
Oh no, don't mind me
[02:20] [SONG] Sign
Go ahead, and so on, you know the rest
[02:23] [SONG] Sign
A little more? Wait, even harder?!
[02:26] [SONG] Sign
Going overboard much?
[02:29] [SONG] Sign
Those selfish emotions deep down
[02:31] [SONG] Sign
Bringing them to light is
what friendship's about
[02:33] [SONG] Sign
Spending adolescence duking it out with pals

I don't wanna lose

We're off to the cutting edge moment
[02:43] [SONG] Sign
Fight with best friends, and leave no regrets
[02:47] [SONG] Sign
You should laugh, since
you look best with a smile

On the ropes?! No matter

The Sophie Series (Part 1)
[03:28] Une
I'm back.
[03:31] Trois
Une must have failed her mission.
[03:34] Deux
Yo, you can't be serious!
[03:36] Deux
What a pain! Let's just go in guns blazing,
and kill everyone in sight!
[03:40] Deux
C'mon, it's killing time!
[03:44] Quatre
Une.
[03:45] Quatre
Did you find anyone cute worth killing?
[03:48] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy!
[03:50] Une
This was an undercover scouting mission,
in order to assess the situation.
[03:54] Une
In that regard, it was a success.
[03:57] Trois
You really did fail the mission.
[03:59] Trois
Your lack of proof just confirms it...
[04:02] Trois
Une can't do anything.
[04:03] Trois
So useless...
[04:05] Une
Cinq.
[04:06] Une
You have permission to destroy.
[04:09] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy!
[04:12] Cinq
Time to destroy Trois!
[04:17] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy!
[04:18] Trois
It hurts!
[04:18] Quatre
So, what was the outcome?
[04:21] Une
I had them teach me.
[04:23] Deux
Huh?
[04:24] Deux
Be a little clearer.
[04:26] Une
It's hard to explain with just words.
[04:28] Quatre
In that case...
[04:33] Quatre
Transmitting empirical data through
mucosal contact is certainly useful.
[04:40] Une
Deux.
[04:40] Deux
Huh?
[04:42] Trois
It hurts!
[04:43] Cinq
Destroy!
[04:44] Trois
I said it hurts, jackass!
[04:48] Quatre
Come here, Trois.
[04:50] Une
You too, Cinq.
[05:00] Deux
Huh? What was your goal here?
[05:02] Une
Like I said, I had them teach me.
[05:04] Une
Dragon Smash.
[05:07] Group
Dragon Smash!
[05:12] Quatre
You know this isn't our goal.
[05:15] Deux
Totally not!
[05:16] Trois
What we were commanded to do...
[05:18] Cinq
Assassination! Assassination!
[05:22] Une
Yes. You're absolutely right.
[05:40] Blade
What are you about to show us?
[05:41] Eliza
Just be quiet and watch!
[05:43] Yessica
Here I go!
[05:53] Yessica
Eliza, this is incredible!
[05:55] Eliza
It's still a prototype,
but it looks like it worked!
[05:59] Blade
So, which part of that was impressive?
[06:01] Blade
All it did was fire off some
stored-up spirit over and over.
[06:04] Eliza
I don't need the opinion of a superorganism
[06:06] Eliza
who can hone and store his spirit
all by himself!
[06:08] Eliza
That's hard for us regular human beings!
[06:11] Blade
It's hard, huh?
[06:12] Eliza
However!
[06:13] Eliza
By honing spirit and charging
it up into these cartridges,
[06:16] Eliza
now anyone can activate it at
any time that they see fit!
[06:19] Blade
I get it now.
[06:25] Earnest
Blade.
[06:25] Blade
Oh, she's here.
[06:33] Blade
What do you want to learn?
[06:39] Quatre
How to make babies?
[06:42] Claire
Eh?
[06:43] Earnest
You know that's not happening!
[06:46] Quatre
Then...
[06:47] Quatre
How I can kill you!
[06:50] Blade
I'm fine with that.
[06:51] Earnest
You are?
[06:53] Quatre
Time to die, then!
[06:55] Blade
Sure. Come at me!
[07:06] Quatre
I can't kill you!
[07:07] Quatre
Do a better job teaching me!
[07:08] Blade
What?!
[07:10] Blade
But if I actually teach you,
I'll end up dead!
[07:13] Quatre
Then...
[07:16] Quatre
Kill me instead.
[07:18] Earnest
Hey, Sophie!
[07:22] Claire
What?!
[07:23] Earnest
Th-That's...
[07:26] Earnest
S-Sophie?!
[07:28] Blade
Ah, Sophie.
[07:29] Quatre
Just when we were getting to the good part.
[07:32] Sophie
I'm the one you're up against.
[07:36] Quatre
Well, bye now.
[07:40] Blade
How many does that make?
[07:42] Earnest
First, the one with a sword.
[07:44] Earnest
After that, a club, then a spear...
[07:47] Earnest
So this is the fourth?
[07:53] Blade
Here, open wide.
[07:54] Blade
Ahh!
[07:57] Earnest
Hey, what do you think is
the deal with those girls?
[08:00] Clay
I'm not sure, but they're good learners.
[08:03] Earnest
Yeah, they're really passionate.
[08:06] Yessica
I wouldn't call it passion...
[08:08] Earnest
Do you think they're Sophie's sisters?
[08:10] Earnest
They should all just enroll in the academy.
[08:13] Yessica
Hold on, Anna.
[08:14] Yessica
Let's think this through a bit.
[08:16] Yessica
Don't you find it at least a little weird?
[08:18] Earnest
Huh?
[08:19] Claire
You've become a lot like Blade lately.
[08:22] Maria
In your lack of common sense, that is.
[08:25] Earnest
Ahem.
[08:26] Earnest
Do you have anything to say about the
unusual situation we find ourselves in?
[08:31] Kassim
She's gone into Empress mode.
SIGN Um...
SIGN Do you mind if I say something?
[08:36] Earnest
Go ahead.
SIGN Well...
SIGN From an outside perspective, it seems clear to me...
SIGN that those girls are seriously trying to kill Blade!
[08:45] Earnest
I do the same thing when
I attack him during lessons.
[08:49] Kassim
Me, too!
[08:50] Leonard
If anything, I'd finish him off.
[08:52] Mao
Don't forget that I'm the
one who will kill him.
SIGN What?! Um, sorry!
SIGN Sorry, sorry, sorry!
[08:59] Blade
Lay off her already.
Can't you see that she's scared?
[09:02] Earnest
Am I being scolded by Blade?!
SIGN BA-DUMP
SIGN Um, I didn't mean it in the way that you all do.
SIGN Pretending to be Sophie to get close to him...
SIGN Attacking him with clear murderous intent...
SIGN That has to be...
[09:13] Earnest
Um, give me a second here.
[09:16] Earnest
The most probable conclusion we can
arrive at from all of these facts is...
[09:24] Earnest
that Blade is being targeted by assassins!
[09:28] Earnest
Sophie!
[09:30] Earnest
What's wrong?
[09:32] Sophie
I just found out that none of you
realized that they were assassins.
[09:37] Earnest
Wait! D-Don't worry!
[09:39] Earnest
We knew all along! We really did!
[09:41] Blade
I had it figured out from the start.
[09:43] Earnest
Act a little scared about it, then!
[09:45] Cu
Is someone after your life, Parent?
[09:48] Sophie
It's fine.
[09:50] Sophie
I'll protect Blade.
[10:01] Cinq
You all failed!
[10:03] Cinq
It's me next!
[10:04] Cinq
I'll destroy! Destroy!
[10:05] Cinq
Can I destroy him?
[10:06] Deux
Shut your trap.
[10:07] Deux
You're giving me a headache.
[10:09] Trois
I haven't failed yet.
[10:12] Trois
That must be it.
[10:13] Trois
The lack of proof just confirms it.
[10:16] Quatre
The Great Hero couldn't kill me.
[10:19] Quatre
That means I can kill him next time, right?
[10:23] Cinq
Destroy, destroy!
[10:24] Une
Be quiet.
[10:24] Cinq
Destroy everything!
[10:26] Une
Wasting unnecessary energy
will only shorten your lifespan.
[10:31] Researcher
Une.
[10:34] Researcher
Deux. Trois.
[10:36] Researcher
Quatre.
[10:39] Researcher
Cinq.
[10:42] Researcher
It's up to you to show everyone
[10:45] Researcher
that an Artificial Great Hero can
surpass even the Great Hero himself.
[10:49] Researcher
Kill the Great Hero Blade,
and prove the validity of our research.
[10:56] Une
We understand.
[10:58] Une
That is the sole reason that
we were brought to life.
[11:06] Group
We're the strongest!
[11:27] Iona
Is that you, Sophie?
[11:29] Sophie
Yes.
[11:30] Iona
Please deactivate your stealth.
[11:31] Iona
It makes it difficult to
detect you with my sensors.
[11:34] Sophie
I don't want to wake Blade up.
[11:37] Iona
Are you worried about Master?
[11:39] Iona
There is no need to worry.
[11:40] Iona
I am always by his side.
[11:44] Iona
Would you like to sleep next to him as well?
[11:47] Iona
Now is your chance to do so
as much as you like.
[11:49] Sophie
No, thanks.
[11:51] Iona
Please leave it to me.
[11:53] Iona
I will protect Master with my life.
[11:55] Sophie
I'll do what I can to protect Blade, too.
[11:59] Sophie
Even if it means death.
[12:09] Sophie
Give up.
[12:10] Sophie
You can't kill Blade.
[12:12] Sophie
We won't let you.
[12:14] Une
No, we will.
[12:16] Une
That is what we were commanded to do,
and the only purpose of our lives.
[12:21] Sophie
The Artificial Great Hero Project was
abandoned, with me as the final subject.
[12:25] Sophie
The modifications you received did
not follow the proper procedure.
[12:29] Sophie
That must have had a considerable
impact on your bodies.
[12:32] Une
I know that.
[12:34] Une
We have very short lifespan,
[12:36] Une
unlike you.
[12:38] Sophie
Instead of using the limited time
left to you to obey commands,
[12:42] Sophie
can't you live as humans,
and spend it in the light of day?
[12:45] Une
Our orders are absolute.
[12:47] Une
If you want to stop us...
[12:49] Une
There's only one way.
[12:53] Une
Deep down, I'm sure you've realized it, too.
[13:14] Une
We'll be waiting.
[13:17] Une
In our world, where the
light of day does not reach.
[13:32] Blade
Sophie is pint-sized today!
[13:35] Cinq
Cinq!
[13:36] Blade
Hm?
[13:36] Cinq
My name is Cinq!
[13:38] Cinq
Not Sophie!
[13:39] Maria
So they have their own names.
[13:41] Eliza
I believe that Cinq is an ancient lost word
[13:45] Eliza
that signifies the number five.
[13:47] Blade
Are there only five of you?
[13:50] Claire
Is it okay for you to tell us that?
[13:52] Cinq
It wasn't!
[13:53] Yessica
Well, I don't think she could have
pretended to be Sophie if she tried.
[13:58] Cinq
Forget I said that!
[13:59] Cinq
Or else I'll destroy you!
[14:00] Blade
Okay, okay!
[14:01] Blade
I forgot it!
[14:02] Cinq
Good, good.
[14:03] Cinq
But I'm still gonna destroy you!
[14:11] Earnest
Hey, Blade!
[14:12] Earnest
Stick to the plan!
[14:14] Blade
I know I should!
[14:18] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[14:23] Eliza
Not even a superorganism
can withstand that...
[14:28] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[14:33] Earnest
Blade.
[14:34] Earnest
C'mon, wake up.
[14:35] Earnest
How long are you going to stay dead?
[14:38] Cu
He finally woke up!
[14:39] Iona
Master won every exercise
that took place in virtual reality.
[14:43] Iona
He is unaccustomed to dying.
[14:45] Blade
Where's Cinq?!
[14:47] Earnest
She left already.
[14:48] Earnest
In an extremely good mood, at that.
[14:50] Eliza
I don't think she realized she had
been led into virtual reality.
[14:54] Eliza
So, if she's convinced that she
killed Mr. Superorganism,
[14:57] Eliza
our plan is a success!
[14:59] Earnest
I just hope she doesn't find out.
[15:00] Blade
I know, right?
[15:01] Blade
If she does...
[15:04] Cinq
You tricked me!
[15:06] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[15:09] Cinq
Lemme destroy you!
[15:09] Blade
I knew that's how she'd react!
[15:11] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[15:13] Blade
Whoa, she's pissed!
[15:14] Iona
Academy Building No. 2 is at 30% damage.
[15:17] Iona
Any more damage carries the risk of collapse,
[15:20] Iona
so I propose that we relocate to Building
No. 3, which has been fully evacuated.
[15:23] Blade
Well, tell her that!
[15:25] Blade
I'm sure she wouldn't listen!
[15:30] Deux
I can kill him, right?!
[15:32] Deux
Right?!
[15:37] Deux
I'm here to kill you, so stop running!
[15:39] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[15:41] Iona
I will proceed to steer them.
[15:42] Iona
Leave it to me.
[15:47] Iona
Yo momma's got a big ol' outie!
[15:51] Blade
What's that mean?
[15:52] Iona
It is a phrase used to taunt
others in a lost ancient language.
[15:55] Iona
Unfortunately, its meaning has
been deleted from my records.
[16:00] Blade
It worked!
[16:04] Earnest
Here they come!
[16:05] Earnest
It's up to all of you!
SIGN Understood!
[16:08] Karen
But, Altia...
[16:09] Miriam
Are we really strong enough to defeat them?
[16:12] Levia
We messed up during our last exam...
[16:14] Simone
Can we really do it?
SIGN Well...
[16:18] Earnest
You'll be fine.
[16:19] Earnest
It's okay if you don't want to kill anyone.
[16:21] Earnest
They're on the same level as Sophie.
[16:23] Earnest
Launch your spells at them,
and don't hold back!
[16:25] Group
Yes!
[16:27] Blade
You've got this!
[16:33] Earnest
Fire!
[16:52] Earnest
Blade, you can also use magic?
[16:54] Blade
Hm? A little.
[16:56] Iona
Now is your chance to take them alive.
[16:59] Earnest
What? That wasn't enough?!
[17:05] Group
Artificial Great Hero Power!
[17:07] Blade
You'd better stand back.
[17:08] Earnest
Eh?
[17:12] Iona
Master.
[17:13] Iona
That is a black hole.
[17:15] Iona
I propose that we withdraw immediately.
[17:17] Iona
Otherwise...
[17:26] Blade
Hold out for ten seconds!
[17:34] Deux
You think it's over? No way.
[17:38] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[17:40] Iona
Once a black hole has formed,
it will not die out by itself.
[17:44] Blade
What?!
[17:45] Blade
Okay, what now?
[17:50] Karen
Altia!
[18:00] Blade
Sophie!
[18:04] Sophie
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[18:06] Sophie
Ten. Nine. Eight.
[18:09] Sophie
Seven. Six.
[18:11] Sophie
Five. Four.
[18:14] Sophie
Three... Two...
[18:17] Sophie
One...
[18:28] Blade
You did well, Sophie.
[18:32] Earnest
Blade...
[19:11] Blade
Oh, you're awake?
[19:16] Blade
You're supposed to cut
them like rabbits, right?
[19:19] Blade
Did I get it right?
[19:21] Sophie
You're right about the rabbits.
[19:23] Sophie
But wrong about how you cut them.
[19:25] Blade
Huh? I'm not supposed to use this?
[19:31] Sophie
Any casualities?
[19:32] Blade
Ah, no one died.
[19:34] Blade
A few people were injured,
[19:36] Blade
but it's okay, since Claire
healed them in time.
[19:38] Blade
And I just got a few scrapes.
[19:41] Sophie
I see.
[19:42] Sophie
Sorry for causing so much trouble.
[19:44] Blade
We're all fine with it, so no worries.
[19:49] Blade
Can you tell me about them?
[19:54] Sophie
Those girls... are me.
[19:57] Sophie
Specimens created with the same cloning
technology, with further modifications...
[20:03] Sophie
and successfully manifested
Artificial Great Hero powers
[20:06] Sophie
after receiving implants
of the rare metal Heronium.
[20:09] Sophie
They've been given numbers,
so I feel like that must be the case.
[20:13] Blade
You mean the Artificial Great Hero Project?
[20:17] Sophie
I was rescued by the king,
[20:20] Sophie
but those girls didn't
have anyone to help them.
[20:25] Sophie
I met you at this academy,
and made friends with everyone.
[20:30] Sophie
You were my salvation.
[20:32] Blade
You're the one who saved me.
[20:35] Blade
You've suffered so much, all because
of the Great Hero's powers.
[20:38] Blade
And yet you forgave me, the Great Hero.
[20:42] Sophie
I already told you.
[20:43] Sophie
I take pride in these powers of mine.
[20:45] Sophie
I never once resented you.
[20:48] Blade
I want to be friends with them, too.
[20:53] Blade
Earnest suggested that all five of
them should enroll in this school.
[20:56] Sophie
That can't happen.
[20:57] Blade
Huh?
[20:59] Sophie
The Artificial Great Heroes were born to
defeat the Great Hero... that is, you.
[21:04] Sophie
Their sole purpose in life is to surpass you.
[21:08] Sophie
I was rescued before any
neural modifications,
[21:12] Sophie
so I wasn't programmed as such...
[21:14] Sophie
but those girls can't disobey their orders.
[21:17] Sophie

[00:02] King
I received this notice that she is
withdrawing from the academy.
[00:08] Earnest
Why didn't you stop her?!
[00:10] King
Enrolled students hold the right to
receive instruction to become a hero.
[00:16] King
They are also at full liberty
to relinquish that right.
[00:20] King
It is not my duty to stop those
who choose to leave the academy.
[00:25] Earnest
How can you be so heartless?!
[00:27] King
Every child must one day
leave their parents' nest.
[00:31] King
I do consider myself an adult, you see.
[00:33] King
I wouldn't be so uncouth as to stop her.
[00:36] Earnest
Your Majesty!
[00:37] Earnest
I'm not done here yet! Also...
[00:38] Blade
Calm down a bit.
[00:40] Blade
Take a good look at him.
[00:41] Earnest
Huh?
[00:45] Earnest
Your Majesty.
[00:47] Earnest
We'll make sure we bring Sophie back.
[00:50] King
Oh?
[00:51] King
And do you know where she's headed?
[00:54] Blade
She'll be looking for her five sisters.
[00:57] Yessica
According to my investigation,
[00:59] Yessica
it looks like they go between
a number of different bases.
[01:02] Yessica
Should we start looking
at the most likely ones?
[01:05] Blade
Okay!
[01:05] Blade
Let's get going, then.
[01:06] King
Not so fast!
[01:08] King
Have you thought about
why she went by herself?
[01:14] Earnest
Well...
[01:16] King
Sophie didn't want any of
you to sully your hands.
[01:20] Earnest
What?
[01:21] King
The only way to stop those five...
[01:26] King
is to kill them.
[01:27] Earnest
That can't be!
[01:28] Earnest
There must be some other
way to convince them...
[01:31] King
Those girls will stop at nothing.
[01:34] King
Sophie went alone precisely
because she realized that.
[01:40] King
The world is more than what
we see in the light of day,
[01:43] King
and she knows that she existed
in the shadows to begin with.
[01:49] King
That's why she wants to put an
end to this with her own hands.
[01:54] King
So her friends will not dirty theirs.
[01:58] King
You all need to think long and
hard about this until dawn.

[02:11] Cu
Parent!
[02:13] Iona
Master, you are going to
search for Sophie?
[02:16] Blade
Yeah.
[02:17] Cu
I'll go, too!
[02:19] Cu
Sophie is my friend!
[02:21] Iona
I shall be by your side,
wherever you go, Master.
[02:24] Blade
Just the three of us, huh?
[02:26] Mao
Hm? I'm going, too.
[02:32] Blade
Did Maria agree to this as well?
[02:33] Mao
That crybaby said that she
can't abandon a friend.
[02:38] Blade
I see.
[02:39] Blade
So that makes five of us.
[02:41] Mao
Shall we get going, Great Hero?
[02:43] Blade
I'm not the Great Hero anymore.
[02:58] Earnest
Blade, you're late!
[03:00] Yessica
See, didn't I tell you?
[03:01] Yessica
I figured Blade was just waiting
around the dorm entrance.
[03:06] Clay
What, Blade?
[03:07] Clay
Couldn't make up your mind?
[03:09] Leonard
How sluggish for a superorganism.
[03:11] Kassim
It only took me five minutes to decide!
[03:15] Blade
My bad for being so late!
[03:18] Blade
Okay, let's go!
[03:38] Earnest
Sophie!
[03:41] Earnest
Eliza, I found her.
[03:43] Eliza
That's a relief.
[03:44] Eliza
I'll send everyone your way.
[03:47] Earnest
Please!
[03:47] Earnest
Stop running away!
[03:51] Earnest
Please, let's talk about this.
[03:54] Sophie
I have a request as well.
[03:56] Sophie
Please let me be.
[03:58] Earnest
Sophie.
[03:59] Earnest
We all understand how you feel,
and what you're trying to do.
[04:07] Earnest
So there's no need to worry...
[04:09] Sophie
You've got it wrong.
[04:10] Earnest
What?
[04:12] Sophie
There's something I haven't told you.
[04:20] Sophie
I am a human who was created for
the Artificial Great Hero Project.
[04:27] Earnest
Artificial... Great Hero?
[04:29] Sophie
During the war, research was conducted
to try and artificially produce a human
[04:33] Sophie
with powers equal or greater
to the Great Hero's.
[04:37] Sophie
I was the twelfth test subject.
[04:40] Sophie
Everyone who took part in the
research was supposedly arrested,
[04:45] Sophie
but I hear that some samples and
research data have been stolen.
[04:48] Eliza
Those five girls are the samples in question.
[04:51] Sophie
Someone continued the research,
incubating them and giving them commands.
[04:56] Sophie
The reason they exist...
[04:58] Sophie
is to surpass the Great Hero.
[05:00] Kassim
The Great Hero...
[05:02] Clay
You mean the one and only?
[05:04] Earnest
But if that's the case,
why are they after Blade's life?
[05:08] Sophie
Well...
[05:09] Earnest
Oh, I get it!
[05:11] Earnest
They want to test their capabilities
on this superorganism!
[05:14] Leonard
If they can't even defeat a superorganism,
[05:17] Leonard
they stand no chance against
the Great Hero himself.
[05:19] Leonard
That must be it.
[05:21] Sophie
U-Um...
[05:23] Blade
Yeah, sure, that's gotta be it.
[05:25] Mao
They can be quite dense, huh?
[05:28] Sophie
I've caused you all so much
trouble by getting you involved.
[05:33] Claire
That's not true...
[05:34] Sophie
My past has finally caught up with me.
[05:39] Sophie
I wondered all along whether it was okay
to have so much fun... to be so happy.
[05:45] Sophie
Was it okay for a human impostor like me
to live happily as a real person?
[05:51] Sophie
That's why I'm going back
to where I used to be.
[05:56] Sophie
I'll protect all of you.
[05:59] Sophie
Even if it costs me my life.
[06:03] Sophie
It may not have been for long,
but being able to walk out in the sun...
[06:08] Sophie
made me happy.
[06:11] Sophie
Ow.
[06:13] Sophie
Ow... that hurts.
[06:16] Earnest
How ridiculous.
[06:17] Earnest
If walking in the sun makes you happy,
then keep doing it.
[06:23] Earnest
I mean, I also used to...
[06:25] Earnest
have eyes like this,
[06:26] Earnest
and I never looked like I was
happy or having fun, right?
[06:29] Blade
That's true.
[06:30] Earnest
Huh?!
[06:32] Earnest
But look, thanks to Blade,
I was able to change.
[06:36] Yessica
You turned into a bit too
much of a lost cause, though.
[06:42] Earnest
Besides, if killing them is the
only solution, then we'll also...
[06:50] Blade
No, we won't do that.
[06:52] Earnest
What?
[06:53] Earnest
But His Majesty said...
[06:55] Blade
I know what the king said,
but killing them isn't the answer.
[07:00] Sophie
It's impossible.
[07:02] Sophie
Thanks to their neural programming,
their creator's orders are absolute.
[07:07] Maria
Is there nothing we can do?
[07:10] Sophie
Even if there were...
[07:12] Sophie
Because of all the harsh
modifications they've undergone,
[07:14] Sophie
they don't have much longer to live.
[07:17] Claire
How awful...
[07:18] Earnest
You have a plan, right?
[07:20] Blade
Nope, not at all.
[07:21] Earnest
What?!
[07:23] Blade
Still, I want to do something.
[07:25] Blade
I want to save Sophie's sisters.
[07:27] Sophie
Sisters...
[07:30] Blade
Which is why I want all of you to help.
[07:39] Earnest
Sophie, are you okay with that?
[07:44] Blade
Sophie.
[07:45] Blade
Give your life to me.
[07:48] Earnest
What?!
[07:49] Sophie
Okay.
[07:49] Earnest
That was fast! Are you sure?!
[07:51] Earnest
I mean... that's... He just....
[07:52] Blade
What are you getting
worked up about, Earnest?
[07:54] Earnest
I-I get it!
[07:55] Earnest
You want to be friends
with those girls, right?
[07:58] Earnest
Okay, let's do it.
[08:02] Blade
So, do you have any good ideas?
[08:05] Eliza
You're leaving it all to me?!
[08:07] Eliza
Well, sure, I don't mind.
[08:09] Eliza
I've come up with a plan.
[08:19] Une
Let me know when you can't move anymore.
[08:21] Une
I'll dispose of you.
[08:23] Deux
Huh?!
[08:24] Deux
You know I'm still good to go!
[08:25] Deux
I'll crush you!
[08:27] Cinq
I still wanna destroy more!
[08:29] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy!
[08:32] Researcher
Yes, very good.
[08:37] Researcher
The only reason you exist is
to transcend the Great Hero.
[08:42] Researcher
Kill the Great Hero.
[08:44] Researcher
Kill, kill, kill.
[08:50] Quatre
Une.
[08:51] Quatre
I found this outside.
[08:53] Trois
A letter of challenge.
[08:55] Trois
It must be a trap.
[09:04] Une
We'll put an end to this.
[09:17] Earnest
Do you really think they'll
answer that challenge?
[09:21] Sophie
It's fine.
[09:22] Sophie
I know I would go for sure.
[09:24] Claire
I-I see...
[09:26] Cu
Sniff, sniff...
[09:27] Cu
I smell the same scent as Sophie!
[09:31] Iona
They have arrived.
[09:34] Blade
I've been waiting.
[09:37] Une
We'll kill you.
[09:39] Une
That is what we exist to do.
[09:41] Blade
I see.
[09:42] Blade
I was hoping I could be
friends with all of you.
[09:46] Eliza
You understand the plan, right?
[09:48] Eliza
You will be the only one fighting.
[09:51] Eliza
If we attack as a group,
they're sure to run away.
[09:54] Eliza
However, with only one target,
[09:57] Eliza
they should continue to fight,
even knowing that it's a trap.
[10:03] Sophie
Blade...
[10:04] Earnest
I know the plan,
but not being able to help...
[10:12] Eliza
Listen up!
[10:13] Eliza
The goal is not to defeat them,
but to deplete their energy.
[10:13] Deux
C'mon, die!
[10:15] Blade
Adamantine Body!
[10:17] Eliza
Please endure all of their attacks.
[10:19] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy!
[10:27] Blade
Easy for you to say!
[10:29] Eliza
I know the superorganism can pull it off!
[10:31] Eliza
If you manage to deplete their energy...
[10:33] Dione
Be on constant lookout,
and don't break the blockade!
[10:37] Siren
There must be someone
giving orders to the five of them.
[10:40] Siren
Make sure you capture them.
[10:43] King
Now this is a realistic exercise!
[10:46] King
No, it's the real deal!
[10:48] Eliza
We'll arrest the person who created them.
[10:50] Eliza
Then, we'll make them tell us the
parameters to reprogram and save them!
[10:54] Eliza
So... please don't die!
[10:59] Deux
Hi-yah!
[11:02] Quatre
Hey, teach me again.
[11:05] Quatre
How to kill you!
[11:07] Blade
Oh, no!
[11:13] Earnest
Blade!
[11:15] Sophie
Have faith in Blade.
[11:17] Earnest
I know!
[11:18] Earnest
I know that...
[11:19] Earnest
But still!
[11:30] Leonard
He can still use moves like that?
[11:33] Earnest
Not being able to do anything...
[11:35] Earnest
Other than sit and watch...
[11:37] Claire
Anna.
[11:38] Yessica
There's still something
we can do, isn't there?
[11:46] Deux
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[11:51] Deux
Deadly Earth Crash!
[11:56] Blade
What?! The ground...
[11:57] Deux
Be crushed by the planet, and die!
[12:02] Deux
Three! Two! One!
[12:12] Quatre
I'll send you to heaven.
[12:13] Quatre
Artificial Great Hero Power!
[12:19] Blade
Are they all real?
[12:23] Yessica
Blade!
[12:24] Yessica
Take this!
[12:31] Clay
Blade!
[12:34] Blade
Dragon Smash!
[12:39] Quatre
Too bad.
[12:40] Quatre
This is the end.
[12:43] Trois
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[12:46] Trois
I'll wipe you out, jackass!
[12:49] Leonard
Blade!
[12:54] Leonard
This is the Super God Technique,
Absolutely Unbreakable Barrier.
[12:57] Yessica
Ugh, that sure is a name.
[13:00] Trois
So this is it...
[13:05] Blade
Ah...
[13:06] Earnest
No way!
[13:11] Blade
Earnest, hand that over!
[13:13] Earnest
Huh? But your sword...
[13:14] Blade
Believe in me!
[13:16] Earnest
Okay!
[13:19] Cinq
Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!
[13:23] Earnest
Ah!
[13:23] Sophie
I've got this.
[13:25] Sophie
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[13:30] Sophie
Blade.
[13:31] Sophie
Take control of this power.
[13:34] Sophie
It should be easier for the
real Great Hero, right?
[13:38] Blade
Are you sure?
[13:39] Blade
It'll be pretty painful.
[13:41] Sophie
My life belongs to you.
[13:44] Sophie
Use it all you want.
[13:49] Cinq
Artificial Great Hero Power!
[13:50] Blade
Great Hero Power!
[14:02] Blade
You did well, Sophie.
[14:05] Sophie
Blade...
[14:06] Sophie
Take this.
[14:18] Blade
Um, what was that move called again?
[14:21] Blade
Well, whatever works, I guess.
[14:23] Blade
Earnest Monster Beam!
[14:26] Earnest
Hey! Don't give it a weird name!
[15:04] Blade
What's wrong?
[15:05] Blade
Not gonna finish me off?
[15:08] Une
My time is up.
[15:10] Blade
Time?
[15:12] Blade
What does that mean?
[15:14] Blade
Huh?
[15:18] Blade
H-Hey!
[15:19] Blade
By time, you don't mean...
[15:23] Blade
Snap out of it!
[15:24] Blade
Hey!
[15:25] Une
Our lifespan... measured in days...
[15:30] Une
is fourteen days.
[15:33] Une
Until... sunset today.
[15:39] Une
How beautiful...
[15:41] Blade
Eliza!
[15:42] Blade
You heard her, right?!
[15:44] Blade
There's no time left!
[15:45] Blade
We're out of time!
[15:48] Eliza
I just finished looking over
the research data from
[15:52] Eliza
the modification facility
where they were born.
[15:55] Eliza
What atrocious workmanship.
[15:57] Eliza
I'd say they were lucky to
last fourteen whole days...
[16:02] Claire
Blade...
[16:03] Claire
It's not working!
[16:05] Claire
I can't heal them!
[16:07] Eliza
The powers of the Great Hero and
Demon King defy the laws of physics.
[16:11] Eliza
They disrupt the laws of cause and effect.
[16:13] Eliza
Claire's powers work by decreasing entropy.
[16:17] Eliza
They won't work when
causality has been severed.
[16:19] Blade
Isn't there some way to save them?!
[16:22] Blade
That's right!
[16:24] Blade
There's the person who made
Une and the others, right?!
[16:26] Blade
If we ask them...
[16:27] Eliza
It's no use.
[16:30] Eliza
We did find their creator.
[16:32] Eliza
However...
[16:34] Eliza
He's dead!
[16:37] Eliza
And not within the last fourteen days!
[16:39] Eliza
Long before that...
[16:40] Eliza
By the time they were born,
he was already dead!
[16:44] Eliza
The truth is... that there
never were any commands...
[16:48] Blade
Can't you do something with
that science of yours?
[16:52] Eliza
I could do research.
[16:54] Eliza
With my intellect, I might be able
to find a way to reprogram them.
[16:59] Eliza
But there's not enough time.
[17:03] Eliza
Science has its limits as well.
[17:06] Eliza
It can't solve everything
in the snap of your fingers!
[17:12] Eliza
Damn it all!
[17:13] Eliza
If only I was more of a genius!
[17:17] Sophie
Blade.
[17:19] Sophie
Bring all of them... my sisters, here.
[17:25] Sophie
Une.
[17:26] Sophie
Wake up.
[17:29] Sophie
You still haven't used your
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[17:36] Sophie
You will all die,
[17:38] Sophie
but there's a way for you to keep living.
[17:44] Une
I failed to carry out my orders.
[17:46] Une
What point is there in living?
[17:50] Blade
You can surpass me.
[17:51] Blade
Keep on living, and try to surpass me.
[17:55] Blade
If you can, that is.
[17:58] Deux
Hmm, that sounds pretty fun.
[18:01] Trois
There's no way...
[18:03] Trois
But the chances aren't zero.
[18:07] Quatre
I might win if it was a different activity.
[18:11] Cinq
Destroy, destroy...
[18:14] Sophie
Une.
[18:18] Une
I understand.
[18:20] Une
Artificial Great Hero Power.
[18:24] Sophie
Blade.
[18:26] Sophie
Take control of her power.
[18:29] Sophie
So that their souls...
their minds... enter me.
[18:34] Blade
Okay.
[18:35] Blade
Leave it to me.
[19:15] Blade
Um... are you Une?
[19:19] Une
That's right.
[19:20] Blade
What's wrong?
[19:21] Une
I just came to see if
you were feeling better.
[19:24] Une
When you are, I'll be the one to kill you.
[19:27] Une
Don't forget it.
[19:28] Blade
Yeah.
[19:30] Blade
That's what you all say.
[19:32] Blade
What about the others?
[19:34] Une
They say they want to talk to you.
[19:37] Une
But before that...
[19:42] Blade
Sophie?
[19:43] Sophie
Yes.
[19:44] Sophie
It looks like my sisters let me take control.
[19:47] Blade
Sounds like you have it rough.
[19:49] Blade
Is everything okay?
[19:51] Sophie
Well...
[19:52] Sophie
It feels like having six children.
[19:56] Blade
Six?
[19:57] Blade
Isn't that one too many?

[21:39] Siren
About the magical beast brought here today...
[21:42] Siren
I received word that there's been a mix-up.
[21:46] Dione
