[00:04] ---
    I'm not saying everything
    I've done was right.
[00:09] ---
    I did the Spirit of Origin's bidding,
    murdered countless people,
[00:15] ---
    and even took the life of a close friend.
[00:19] ---
    And then, to rid the world of that Spirit,
[00:24] ---
    I'll leave behind a mountain of corpses.
[00:28] ---
    I'm a devil. An enemy of humanity.
[00:33] ---
    I kill, kill, and kill some more.
[00:38] ---
    A "nightmare" of endless death.
[00:42] ---
    If there really is an afterlife,
[00:46] ---
    I'm bound for the lowest level.
[00:51] ---
    But I don't care.
[00:54] ---
    Not if I can slay the
    Spirit of Origin, Mio Takamiya,
[00:59] ---
    by my own hand.
[01:02] ---
    Takamiya...?
[01:04] ---
    I'm going to redo everything.
[01:08] ---
    Bring all that's happened back to zero.
[01:12] ---
    But for that, I need the power you hold!
[01:17] ---
    With your power,
    I know I can change history!
[01:22] ---
    History...?
[01:23] ---
    If I go into the past and erase
    the Spirit of Origin,
[01:27] ---
    I'll never become a Spirit.
[01:31] ---
    Sawa's death... and everyone else's deaths
    will simply not happen.
[01:38] ---
    Even my devouring of you
    should cease to take place.
[01:43] ---
    Shido, I'm begging you!
[01:47] ---
    Please, let me borrow
    your power to make it so!
[01:53] ---
    Of course, there's nothing
    I can offer as a fair trade.
[01:58] ---
    After all, it doesn't change
    the fact I'm asking for your life.
[02:05] ---
    So, the least I can do...
[02:07] ---
    H-Hey!
[02:18] ---
    ...is to give you my everything,
    save for my Spirit power.
[04:10] ---
    Found you!
[04:23] ---
    Oh, my!
[04:24] ---
    Were you two having fun?
[04:26] ---
    Sorry about that!
[04:28] ---
    Don't let us stop you!
[04:31] ---
    It'd be sad to die
    without "knowing" a girl.
[04:35] ---
    My, my.
[04:36] ---
    For being a bunch of phony Spirits,
    you sure have some nerve.
[04:42] ---
    Oh? You're calling us phony?
[04:46] ---
    Sounds like you're
    insulting Father to me.
[04:50] ---
    Unforgivable!
[04:56] ---
    Zaphkiel, Zayin!
[05:23] ---
    Kurumi? Kurumi!
[05:29] ---
    Yet another failure?
    That's quite curious.
[05:34] ---
    Seems odd to me knowing Beelzebub
    set her up for success.
[05:40] ---
    If inability isn't the reason for failure,
    I'd love to hear what is.
[05:46] ---
    Wow, Ellen. You're not holding back.
[05:50] ---
    Well, then. What do you have to say?
[05:55] ---
    Oh? She's asking for it.
[05:57] ---
    You've failed more than anyone.
[06:00] ---
    Such a mad grandma.
[06:02] ---
    Being old must suck.
[06:04] ---
    Excuse me?!
[06:06] ---
    Get this, Father!
[06:09] ---
    People get in our way!
[06:11] ---
    "Nightmare," was it?
[06:14] ---
    Such a nuisance! What's her problem?!
[06:17] ---
    If not for her, we could've killed
    Shido Itsuka dozens of times!
[06:22] ---
    Hmm... The Worst Spirit
    protecting a human.
[06:27] ---
    What strange times we're in.
[06:30] ---
    But it seems too implausible,
    even for Nightmare.
[06:35] ---
    She's defied every single plan of ours.
[06:39] ---
    Perhaps she knows what we plan to do,
    even before we do it.
[06:45] ---
    Were our plans leaked?
[06:47] ---
    No...
[06:49] ---
    Not our plans,
    but our attacks themselves.
[06:57] ---
    Kurumi, are you okay? Kurumi!
[07:03] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Shido.
[07:08] ---
    Kurumi...?
[07:10] ---
    You're Kurumi's... clone?
[07:14] ---
    Yes. The me before you is sleeping.
[07:19] ---
    Please let her rest for a while.
[07:23] ---
    She's completely exhausted.
[07:25] ---
    She was tired to begin with,
    not to mention all the fighting.
[07:31] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:33] ---
    To get straight to the point, Shido,
    you have already died.
[07:40] ---
    Huh?
[07:41] ---
    To be precise, you should be dead.
[07:45] ---
    No, I suppose I should say
    it's possible you died.
[07:51] ---
    All right, Kurumi. I came as promised.
[07:54] ---
    This morning, I noticed something:
    You've changed a bit, Shido.
[08:00] ---
    Eh?
[08:02] ---
    You look like you've matured.
[08:05] ---
    Though, I suppose it's expected with all
    the carnage you've lived through.
[08:11] ---
    D-Don't make fun.
[08:14] ---
    Anyway, what's this condition of yours
    for sealing your Spirit power?
[08:21] ---
    Okay, okay. I'll tell you.
[08:25] ---
    I...
[08:42] ---
    Shido!
[08:48] ---
    --Shido!
    --Shido!
[08:55] ---
    Hey, don't interfere.
[08:58] ---
    If anyone, I think we're
    the ones interfering.
[09:02] ---
    Wh-What's with these guys?!
[09:05] ---
    Confusion. Who are you?!
[09:10] ---
    Metatron!
[09:16] ---
    Get lost!
[09:25] ---
    Zaphkiel!
[09:36] ---
    It's over!
[09:42] ---
    No!
[09:51] ---
    Shido!
[10:11] ---
    Here you go, me.
[10:16] ---
    Zaphkiel, Daletto!
[10:22] ---
    Are you all right, me?
[10:26] ---
    Yes.
[10:36] ---
    That's...?
[10:37] ---
    Tohka and the others fighting.
[10:41] ---
    They've gone inverse, haven't they?
[10:44] ---
    Inverse...
[10:47] ---
    It's no surprise, with Shido
    killed before their very eyes...
[10:53] ---
    --Me.
    --Me.
[10:56] ---
    That's...
[10:58] ---
    Yes, yes. We barely made it out.
[11:02] ---
    I couldn't leave him behind.
[11:08] ---
    Daletto.
[11:15] ---
    Shido! Shido!
[11:20] ---
    As I thought, it's no use.
[11:23] ---
    Daletto's bullet reverses time,
[11:26] ---
    but it can't bring back
    a life that is lost.
[11:31] ---
    Have I... failed?
[11:36] ---
    I failed Shido, and failed at erasing
    the Spirit of Origin, too?
[11:57] ---
    Shido...
[12:13] ---
    Huh?!
[12:16] ---
    Z-Zaphkiel!
[12:21] ---
    What's going on?
    My sixth bullet, Vav, is restored?
[12:27] ---
    Why? Vav sends a mind into the past.
[12:32] ---
    But it was broken during
    the fight with Kotori...
[12:36] ---
    Ever since, we haven't
    been able to use it!
[12:41] ---
    Could it be...?!
[12:44] ---
    Huh? I don't follow.
[12:47] ---
    After my fight with Kotori,
    but before I had left,
[12:52] ---
    I gave you a kiss as thanks for saving me.
[13:00] ---
    When that happened, I believe
    my sixth bullet, Vav, was sealed.
[13:06] ---
    In other words...
[13:08] ---
    Though not fully,
[13:10] ---
    it was at that point
    that I opened my heart to you, Shido.
[13:19] ---
    I was unable to use Vav
    not because Zaphkiel was broken,
[13:27] ---
    but because part of my Spirit power
    had been sealed by that kiss.
[13:33] ---
    Just now, by kissing him again,
    has that power returned to me?
[13:41] ---
    Me's... Please die for Shido's sake.
[13:49] ---
    Yes, yes. With pleasure.
[13:53] ---
    Our lives are fleeting anyway.
[13:56] ---
    Use us to your heart's content.
[14:00] ---
    If it means saving Shido...
[14:04] ---
    ...I'll gladly visit the other side.
[14:08] ---
    You, being me...
[14:11] ---
    ...should know we wouldn't refuse.
[14:18] ---
    Then, I ask that you come with me
    on an endless journey of death.
[14:28] ---
    Zaphkiel, Vav.
[14:39] ---
    "Tengu City"
    "February 8 Thursday"
[14:41] ---
    Seems like it worked.
[14:46] ---
    And so, from February 8th till today,
[14:49] ---
    we've been protecting you, Shido,
    without your knowledge.
[14:56] ---
    The first attack was thwarted
    thanks to help from Mana.
[15:08] ---
    --Two hundred and four.
    --Huh?
[15:10] ---
    That's how many times since February 8th
    you've fallen into DEM's hands.
[15:19] ---
    On the morning of February 10,
    they even attacked you at home.
[15:26] ---
    And many more times, over and over.
[15:31] ---
    Each time, I've kissed you to regain Vav
[15:36] ---
    and send my mind into the past.
[15:39] ---
    It has strained my heart.
[15:42] ---
    Repeating the same days so many times
    has pushed my psyche to the limits.
[15:51] ---
    So, Shido...
[15:54] ---
    For now, please allow me to rest.
[16:01] ---
    Why didn't you just
    devour me at the start?
[16:05] ---
    I mean, that's way easier for you
    than repeating everything 204 times.
[16:13] ---
    Please don't ask something so thoughtless.
[16:17] ---
    My feelings... for you.
[16:32] ---
    It sounds like you enjoyed your little
    chat while I was busy sleeping, me.
[16:41] ---
    I'm sorry about that, Shido.
[16:46] ---
    This younger "me" is being foolish.
[16:50] ---
    Kurumi!
[16:52] ---
    Please don't get me wrong.
[16:56] ---
    I only helped you so I don't lose all
    the Spirit power you've sealed thus far.
[17:04] ---
    Y-Yeah. I get it.
[17:08] ---
    Let's leave it at that for today.
    Until next time.
[17:14] ---
    Hey, Kurumi!
[17:29] ---
    Kurumi...
[17:41] ---
    You said things you shouldn't have, me.
[17:46] ---
    If I may, I fail to see
    what the problem is.
[17:51] ---
    My resolve--my hardship has been
    anything but ordinary.
[17:58] ---
    It's enough to fall asleep in front
    of Shido, albeit for a moment.
[18:05] ---
    That being the case,
    who can fault me for telling him?!
[18:10] ---
    And besides, given all the times
    I've saved Shido,
[18:15] ---
    surely he holds feelings
    of gratitude towards me!
[18:20] ---
    What bad could come of it?!
[18:25] ---
    He might get the wrong idea.
[18:29] ---
    Huh?
[18:30] ---
    It might seem like he's touched
    my heart or something!
[18:40] ---
    You're right, I suppose so!
[18:43] ---
    It feels like you're mocking me.
[18:47] ---
    So, what should we do now?
[18:50] ---
    Even if we got through today,
    we don't have much time.
[18:55] ---
    DEM Industries will attack again shortly.
[19:00] ---
    I only have so much energy
    and strength. At this rate...
[19:07] ---
    I'm afraid you're right.
[19:09] ---
    Troubled, are we, Kurumi?
[19:17] ---
    Phantom...
[19:18] ---
    Not a very warm welcome.
    I only came to give some advice.
[19:24] ---
    Welcome you? You best think twice
    before making jokes.
[19:30] ---
    So cold. Haven't I helped you by
    providing information all those times?
[19:36] ---
    Wasn't I the one who told you
    about Shido Itsuka?
[19:42] ---
    Ah, I see. You know, don't you?
[19:48] ---
    That's too bad. I really did
    come to give you advice.
[20:00] ---
    Zaphkiel, Zayin!
[20:15] ---
    Whoops, I let my guard down.
[20:18] ---
    So, this is your true form, is it?
[20:24] ---
    Yes. I didn't expect to be stripped of
    my temporary form so easily.
[20:32] ---
    That's Kurumi for you.
[20:35] ---
    Ms. Murasame...
[20:40] ---
    Is that how it is?
[20:43] ---
    Yes, yes, it's all falling into place!
[20:47] ---
    Me's!
[21:00] ---
    There's no hell deep enough
    for the likes of you.
[21:10] ---
    --Shido!
    --Relief, Shido!
[21:13] ---
    Shido, you worried us!
[21:15] ---
    Yeah, sorry.
[21:17] ---
    But it's okay, I'm all right. Don't worry.
[21:22] ---
    Kotori, can we locate Kurumi?
[21:25] ---
    Well, Reine?
[21:27] ---
    No. She's missing at the moment.
    I'll keep searching.
[21:33] ---
    Yeah, please do.
[21:35] ---
    Guys, we need to talk.
[21:38] ---
    About all that's happened...
    and everything Kurumi's done for me.
[21:45] ---
    I need everyone's help!
[21:47] ---
    This time, it's my turn to save her!
