**[00:29] ---**
Brother?
**[02:16] ---**
It's been a long time.
**[02:18] ---**
No... My brother's dead.
**[02:21] ---**
Yeah. You're right.
**[02:24] ---**
Junpei Oda is dead.
**[02:27] ---**
Then, what's my brother doing here?
**[02:30] ---**
Oh, you mean this?
**[02:32] ---**
It's your brother's body.
**[02:35] ---**
If you try to hurt it, you'll be hurting him.
**[02:38] ---**
That's all there is to it.
**[02:41] ---**
Are you happy to see him again?
**[02:43] ---**
Why?
**[02:45] ---**
Why use my brother's body?
**[02:47] ---**
Because he had potential.
**[02:51] ---**
He was an amazing guy, you know?
**[02:56] ---**
You probably know already, but this world
was once ruled by beings that were not human.
**[03:03] ---**
Their grip on power loosened,
and humans began to bloom and breed
**[03:07] ---**
like a plant moved out of the shade into
the sunshine, spreading across the Earth.
**[03:15] ---**
They even came to call the
former rulers "the Evil Ones,"
**[03:20] ---**
and worshiped an imagined ideal
they called "God" instead.
**[03:24] ---**
"God"? "God"! Hilarious, isn't it?
**[03:30] ---**
This "God" supposedly
created the whole world.
**[03:33] ---**
The whole world!
**[03:36] ---**
If that were true, then where
did the old rulers come from?
**[03:40] ---**
God's just a delusion created by mankind.
**[03:44] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[03:46] ---**
We were talking about
your brother, weren't we?
**[03:50] ---**
Why did I start talking about that
stupid fantasy called "God" anyway?
**[03:55] ---**
Well, let me finish my thought and
then we can talk about your brother.
**[04:01] ---**
I was once a priest in the
service of Hermes Mercurius.
**[04:07] ---**
After a lot of intense training, I was
able to hear His voice in my dreams.
**[04:13] ---**
He is about to return to this world.
**[04:17] ---**
And he told me that if I helped him, he would tell
me how to live for tens of thousands of years.
**[04:22] ---**
Liar! There's no way humans can live that long!
**[04:26] ---**
Oh, but they can.
**[04:28] ---**
In the 12th century, I traveled across
Africa under the name "Prester John,"
**[04:32] ---**
and in the 18th century Paris,
they called me "Saint Germain."
**[04:36] ---**
It's easy. You just move your
soul from vessel to vessel.
**[04:40] ---**
Vessel?
**[04:44] ---**
Kazuha?!
**[04:45] ---**
I was worried, you know, when
she and her foolish parents ran off.
**[04:51] ---**
The body I had at the time
was on its last legs.
**[04:56] ---**
That's when your brother showed up.
**[04:59] ---**
See? We finally got around to your brother.
**[05:02] ---**
Sorry for all this long-winded exposition.
**[05:06] ---**
You wouldn't understand how talented he was.
**[05:12] ---**
He found the Book of N'mzei and the
Ritual Tome of Ket Kurk all by himself,
**[05:16] ---**
and even learned about the Church.
**[05:21] ---**
He even single-handedly invented a drug
that would transport him into the Traumerei,
**[05:25] ---**
just by reading those old tomes.
**[05:27] ---**
What incredible knowledge he had!
**[05:30] ---**
And then, he reached this place
deep within the Traumerei.
**[05:39] ---**
I was shaking with joy...
**[05:41] ---**
To think that such a man... such a
perfect vessel would appear before me.
**[05:48] ---**
But that's as far as it went.
**[05:51] ---**
I offered to give him all
the world's knowledge...
**[05:56] ---**
To teach him the deepest truths...
**[05:58] ---**
But he refused it all.
**[06:01] ---**
He was a fool who insisted
on clinging to the light!
**[06:06] ---**
Even though he was the perfect vessel!
**[06:12] ---**
Which meant I had no choice but to kill him.
**[06:18] ---**
You bastard!
**[06:23] ---**
That's not very nice...
hurting your brother's body like that.
**[06:27] ---**
I picked up his bones from the crematory.
**[06:31] ---**
You can't be my brother!
**[06:33] ---**
As long as the bones
still exist, that's enough.
**[06:37] ---**
This body is your brother himself.
**[06:40] ---**
Ryuhei, don't you recognize me?
**[06:44] ---**
We played soccer together, remember?
**[06:47] ---**
Stop it!
**[06:48] ---**
We played video games, too.
**[06:50] ---**
You got upset when you lost.
You said you couldn't do combos.
**[06:54] ---**
Stop it...
**[06:56] ---**
I'm happy you grew up and
became a strong young man.
**[07:00] ---**
Stop it! You're not my brother!
**[07:04] ---**
That's not very nice. You're my only brother.
**[07:08] ---**
Oh, right. Did you get
any better at kickboxing?
**[07:15] ---**
Seriously, though. I'm really
happy to see you again, Ryuhei.
**[07:19] ---**
Stop it.
**[07:21] ---**
What's wrong?
**[07:22] ---**
Stop it!
**[07:28] ---**
Ryuhei, where are you?
**[07:30] ---**
A lot of time's passed. Are we gonna find him?
**[07:34] ---**
I don't know.
**[07:35] ---**
This is the first time I've ever heard of
a Knocker-up manifesting the Traumerei.
**[07:41] ---**
No way.
**[07:42] ---**
Just have faith and keep searching.
**[07:44] ---**
That's right. We'll find him.
**[07:47] ---**
Ryuhei, if you're there, answer me!
**[07:51] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[07:56] ---**
Ryuhei?
**[08:01] ---**
That was Oda-kun just now, wasn't it?
**[08:06] ---**
Ryuhei, answer me!
**[08:08] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[08:09] ---**
Get back.
**[08:10] ---**
I think there's a bridge between
Ryuhei's Traumerei and ours right here.
**[08:16] ---**
I'll open it up by force.
**[08:24] ---**
Ryuhei, you can't solve your
problems be running from them.
**[08:29] ---**
Stop it.
**[08:30] ---**
Do you want to be strong?
**[08:37] ---**
Do you want to kill him?
**[08:40] ---**
Or do you want your brother back?
**[08:43] ---**
Stop it!
**[08:45] ---**
I'll grant your wish.
**[08:48] ---**
Ryuhei, don't listen to the Weird!
**[08:51] ---**
Oda-kun, get a hold of yourself!
**[08:53] ---**
Don't give in!
**[08:55] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[08:58] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[09:00] ---**
Oda-kun!
**[09:04] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:05] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:08] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:09] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:11] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:13] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:14] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:16] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:17] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:19] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:20] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:21] ---**
What is your wish?
**[09:24] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[09:25] ---**
I said not to listen to the Weird!
**[09:28] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[09:30] ---**
Ryuhei, offer up your wish.
**[09:34] ---**
Offer up your wish!
**[09:39] ---**
I offer up...
**[09:45] ---**
I offer up my wish!
**[10:19] ---**
Rena...
**[10:49] ---**
This is the moment when the stars align!
**[10:51] ---**
When the balance of the universal laws tips!
**[10:54] ---**
He will finally revive!
**[10:56] ---**
Great Lord C'thulhog! Now!
**[12:37] ---**
Rena, stop this.
**[12:41] ---**
Out of the way.
**[12:59] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:10] ---**
Rena!
**[13:11] ---**
Looks like she can't hear you.
**[13:18] ---**
You guys came, too?
**[13:20] ---**
I think "got brought here"
would be more accurate.
**[13:24] ---**
There's no time for pleasantries.
**[13:26] ---**
A Knocker-up has manifested their Desaria
and caused C'thulhog to come forth.
**[13:31] ---**
This is an emergency.
**[14:03] ---**
Is that Rena-san?
**[14:04] ---**
No. That's a Weird.
**[14:07] ---**
It's Rena, not a Weird!
**[14:09] ---**
It *is* a Weird. And the first Weird in
history to be born from a Knocker-up.
**[14:13] ---**
You—
**[14:16] ---**
Can we save her?
**[14:18] ---**
I don't know.
**[14:20] ---**
But I do know the world's going
to end if we don't do something.
**[14:24] ---**
No...
**[14:25] ---**
C'thulhog is just a soldier.
**[14:28] ---**
I don't know know what that means, but...
**[14:30] ---**
There are cavalry and generals behind him.
**[14:33] ---**
If we let even one soldier in, then before long,
the cavalry and the stronger soldiers,
**[14:38] ---**
and even the generals will come through.
**[14:40] ---**
The Earth will belong
to the Old Rulers again.
**[14:44] ---**
Humanity will be wiped out.
**[14:46] ---**
Hey, is he getting bigger?
**[15:51] ---**
It's absorbing the Astral Bodies and Desaria
of its victims and growing bigger.
**[15:56] ---**
In that case, we have to end this fast.
**[16:03] ---**
End this? What are you going to do to Rena?
**[16:07] ---**
Well?
**[16:11] ---**
Oda-kun...
**[16:13] ---**
Jessica.
**[16:18] ---**
If I have to defeat her, I will.
**[16:22] ---**
Ryuhei, what do you care about more:
the world or your friend?
**[16:26] ---**
I care about both!
**[16:31] ---**
Jessica!
**[16:32] ---**
Stop it, you two.
**[16:35] ---**
You're a greedy boy.
**[16:37] ---**
I said pick one!
**[16:39] ---**
Then I pick my friend!
**[17:02] ---**
I don't get it...
**[17:04] ---**
How can I choose between
my friend and the world?
**[17:07] ---**
You're not holding back
because I'm a girl, are you?
**[17:13] ---**
If you are, I'll make you regret it!
**[17:39] ---**
Stop this!
**[17:41] ---**
Ryuhei, knock it off. This isn't
the time for fighting each other.
**[17:48] ---**
You go with Eru and stop Rena.
**[17:55] ---**
I know you understand that
the world is more important.
**[17:59] ---**
I won't let you kill Rena to save the world!
**[18:02] ---**
I don't want to fight you.
**[18:04] ---**
I don't care what you want!
**[18:34] ---**
Rena, stop this.
**[18:36] ---**
I'm going to protect Ryuhei.
**[18:38] ---**
And defeat anyone who tries to stop me.
**[18:47] ---**
Fight, everyone!
**[18:48] ---**
Fight and be destroyed!
**[18:50] ---**
Let the whole world be destroyed!
**[18:54] ---**
This world is a shithole!
Just let it *all* be destroyed!
**[18:58] ---**
My grades? My parent's connections?
**[19:00] ---**
Screw all that!
**[19:04] ---**
Religious conflict, ethnic cleansing...
**[19:08] ---**
If this world's destroyed,
they'll lose all meaning!
**[19:16] ---**
Life took its present form after the Cambrian
extinction over 500 million years ago.
**[19:21] ---**
Humanity should be wiped out, too.
**[19:24] ---**
Then, a new path of evolution will...
**[19:33] ---**
It's hot! So hot! Hot!
**[20:05] ---**
Timeout!
**[20:07] ---**
You're strong.
**[20:09] ---**
Let's stop this.
**[20:11] ---**
This is meaningless.
**[20:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:17] ---**
Ryuhei!
**[20:55] ---**
Move.
**[20:57] ---**
I won't.
**[20:58] ---**
Ryuhei-kun...
**[21:00] ---**
Ryuhei.
**[21:02] ---**
Rena's my friend.
**[21:03] ---**
Even if the world gets destroyed,
she'll *still* be my friend!
**[21:08] ---**
Rena...
**[21:09] ---**
Ryuhei.
**[21:10] ---**
Let's stop this. Fighting
our friends isn't right.
**[21:14] ---**
They're in my way.
**[21:17] ---**
They all just think you've become a Weird.
**[21:20] ---**
But that's not true, is it, Rena?
**[21:23] ---**
My wish is to protect you.
**[21:28] ---**
See? She cares about her friends!
**[21:43] ---**
Rena?
**[21:45] ---**
I'm fighting to protect Ryuhei.
**[21:49] ---**
If you get in my way,
Ryuhei, I'll make you pay.
**[23:25] ---**
Next Time
**[23:25] ---**
Ryuhei, you're all grown up.
**[23:28] ---**
But time has stopped for me...
**[23:30] ---**
Ever since the day I was
stabbed right in front of you.
**[23:34] ---**
Ryuhei, surpass me!
**[23:37] ---**
Next Time, Final Episode: The Light of Dawn.
