[00:00] Lunch Lady
    Here, thanks for waiting.
[00:02] Blade
    Thanks!
[00:03] Girl Student A
    Happy birthday!
[00:06] Girl Student B
    Oh, thank you!
[00:08] Boy Student A
    This is from us!
[00:08] Blade
    Hey, what are they doing?
[00:11] Earnest
    It's a birthday celebration.
[00:13] Blade
    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.
[00:24] Claire
    That means we can't celebrate it.
[00:27] Dione
    Truth be told, we don't
    know his exact age, either.
[00:31] Dione
    He could already stand and walk
    by the time they found him.
[00:34] Dione
    We assumed he was one year old,
    which would make him 17 now.
[00:38] Maria
    Oh, in that case,
[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
[03:00] [SONG] Sign
    I don't wanna lose
[03:04] [SONG] Sign
    We're off to the cutting edge moment
[03:07] [SONG] Sign
    Fight with best friends, and leave no regrets
[03:11] [SONG] Sign
    You should laugh, since you look best with a smile
[03:16] [SONG] Sign
    On the ropes?! No matter what we face, et cetera
[03:21] [SONG] Sign
    Just sit back and enjoy it
[03:24] [SONG] Sign
    Whatever may come, I'll be here to protect you
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!
[22:34] Sign
    That image of me
[22:37] Sign
    Has taken on a life of its own
[22:39] Blade
    Here, for the first time...
[22:40] Sign
    Hey, wait up
[22:42] Sign
    Won't you be friends with me?
[22:43] Blade
    I feel like I've truly
    been born into this world!

[22:45] Sign
    Let's shake hands, another self of mine
[22:50] [SONG] Sign
    The wounds we cannot bear alone
[22:53] [SONG] Sign
    The dangers that we keep hidden
[22:56] [SONG] Sign
    We're all hiding them within
[22:58] [SONG] Sign
    Standing ready to strike
[23:01] [SONG] Sign
    The shadow lurking beneath the light
[23:04] [SONG] Sign
    The muffled sounds coming from my lips
[23:08] [SONG] Sign
    They make me feel that I am alive
[23:13] [SONG] Sign
    It's a sign
