[00:01] Blade
    Hey, I'm totally stuffed now!
[00:05] Blade
    What was that, anyway?
SIGN    Jiggle...
[00:06] Blade
    That practically bucket-sized
    dish we just had?
[00:09] Cu
    It's bucket pudding!
[00:12] Cu
    Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
[00:14] Cu
    Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
[00:14] Earnest
    You've still got room
    for more, right, Sophie?
[00:16] Sophie
    I do, naturally.
[00:18] Blade
    What do you mean, naturally?
[00:22] Cu
    What's this?
[00:24] Blade
    Oh, the cargo is stuck in here.
[00:26] Earnest
    Excuse me...
[00:27] Earnest
    Whose wagon is this?
[00:29] Earnest
    If you can't pass through,
    you should take the main road.
[00:32] Dione
    Oh, I'm terribly sorry!
[00:35] Earnest
    You're a centaur!
[00:37] Dione
    Indeed I am.
[00:38] Dione
    My name is...
[00:39] Blade
    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?
[00:53] Blade
    Huh?
[00:53] Blade
    Well, maybe we do, or maybe we don't...
[00:56] Cu
    Which is it?
[00:59] Dione
    Great— I mean, Blade and I go way back!
[01:03] Dione
    Back when Blade was the Great— wait, no!
[01:06] Blade
    More importantly!
[01:07] Blade
    What are you gonna do about this cargo?
[01:09] Earnest
    Oh, that's right.
[01:11] Earnest
    If you'd like, we'd be happy to help out.
[01:13] Sophie
    Yes.
[01:14] Cu
    Leave it to me!
[01:16] Cu
    We dragons are powerful!
[01:18] Dione
    I would appreciate your help.
[01:21] Dione
    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
    I look forward to teaching you!
[02:14] Dione
    Great— wait, no!
[02:15] Dione
    Blade!
[02:17] Blade
    Is this really gonna work?
[02:21] Cu
    Hm...
[02:30] [SONG] Sign
    I look in your eyes, and I'm met with
[02:34] [SONG] Sign
    A brand-new me and dream
[02:48] [SONG] Sign
    Bravery? Naturally?
[02:51] [SONG] Sign
    Polar opposites within the heart
[02:54] [SONG] Sign
    But, you know, wanting to have both
[02:56] [SONG] Sign
    That's the saga of human nature
[02:59] [SONG] Sign
    Oh no, don't mind me
[03:01] [SONG] Sign
    Go ahead, and so on, you know the rest
[03:04] [SONG] Sign
    A little more? Wait, even harder?!
[03:07] [SONG] Sign
    Going overboard much?
[03:10] [SONG] Sign
    Those selfish emotions deep down
[03:12] [SONG] Sign
    Bringing them to light is
    what friendship's about
[03:14] [SONG] Sign
    Spending adolescence duking it out with pals
[03:17] [SONG] Sign
    I don't wanna lose
[03:21] [SONG] Sign
    We're off to the cutting edge moment
[03:24] [SONG] Sign
    Fight with best friends, and leave no regrets
[03:28] [SONG] Sign
    You should laugh, since
    you look best with a smile
[03:33] [SONG] Sign
    On the ropes?! No matter
    what we face, et cetera
[03:38] [SONG] Sign
    Just sit back and enjoy it
[03:41] [SONG] Sign
    Whatever may come, I'll
    be here to protect you
SIGN    Episode 6
SIGN    The General and the Sacred Bird
[04:02] Clay
    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.
SIGN    That jerk
SIGN    That
    jerk
SIGN    That
    jerk
[10:52] Dione
    A warm bath is really something else!
[10:56] Earnest
    Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
[11:00] Earnest
    Your Majesty!
[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
    Yessica!
[14:54] Yessica
    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!
[15:17] Eliza
    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...
[15:57] Blade
    Maria! Undo your braids!
[15:59] Maria
    Y-Y-Yes!
[16:04] Mao
    You would use the Demon King?
[16:06] Mao
    Very well! Use me how you see fit!
[16:08] Mao
    Satan Levin!
[16:15] Mao
    So it won't pierce through a sacred bird?
[16:18] Earnest
    You're not getting away!
[16:20] Earnest
    Flame of Asmodeus!
[16:27] Earnest
    All outta gas...
[16:33] Earnest
    Bucket pudding!
SIGN    Jiggle...
[16:39] Earnest
    Back in action!
[16:43] Blade
    We did it!
[16:45] Blade
    Is everyone okay?
[16:46] Earnest
    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...
[17:02] Clay
    That's right, Blade!
[17:03] Clay
    We'll handle things here!
[17:04] Clay
    You go on!
[17:07] (Flashback) Hero
    Great Hero Blade!
[17:08] (Flashback) Hero
    We'll handle them!
[17:09] (Flashback) Hero
    You go on ahead!
[17:13] Earnest
    Blade!
[17:14] Earnest
    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!
