**[00:03] ---**
I must say, I'm impressed you found me.
**[00:11] ---**
Finding one of your other selves
in the city isn't so hard for me anymore.
**[00:16] ---**
My, my. You sure weren't gentle.
**[00:20] ---**
I didn't kill her. I held back.
**[00:23] ---**
And what brings you here?
**[00:26] ---**
I take it you haven't come for a tea party?
**[00:29] ---**
I want you to ask you a question.
**[00:31] ---**
A question, is it?
**[00:34] ---**
Whether I can answer or not
depends on the question.
**[00:38] ---**
Zaphkiel is an Angel
that manipulates time.
**[00:41] ---**
And each and every 12 of the dials
has some sort of different power.
**[00:47] ---**
Of those 12, does one have a bullet
to send someone you shoot into the past?
**[00:52] ---**
Supposing there is one,
what would you say?
**[00:56] ---**
That I want to borrow your power.
**[00:58] ---**
You suggesting that I use
Yod Bet for your sake?
**[01:04] ---**
Is that what you're saying?
**[01:06] ---**
Yes.
**[01:09] ---**
Well, here's my answer.
**[01:12] ---**
Unfortunately, I'm afraid
I'll have to disappoint you.
**[01:15] ---**
You may have incredible power,
but it means nothing if you can't hit me.
**[01:21] ---**
I'm so being underestimated.
**[01:24] ---**
Just out of curiosity, what would
you be doing with Yod Bet?
**[01:30] ---**
I... want you to send me
to August 3rd, five years ago.
**[01:36] ---**
Five years ago, you say?
**[01:38] ---**
To go back five years and make my
dad and mom's deaths never happen!
**[01:44] ---**
With this power, I'll change history!
**[01:49] ---**
Is that so?
**[01:51] ---**
And what will you do if I refuse?
**[01:54] ---**
Make you agree by any means necessary.
**[01:57] ---**
Hmm? You've gone and said it now...
**[02:01] ---**
But, whatever.
**[02:03] ---**
I was worried about using Yod Bet
without testing it first anyway.
**[02:09] ---**
So I'll have you be my guinea pig.
**[02:13] ---**
Really?
**[02:18] ---**
Now, come to me!
**[02:21] ---**
Zaphkiel!
**[02:26] ---**
Zaphkiel...
**[02:28] ---**
Yod Bet.
**[02:31] ---**
Go and show me.
**[02:34] ---**
How mad and foolish trying
to change the world is...
**[02:38] ---**
...and how far God permits it.

Ugh, Shido... I'm hungry.

**[02:45] ---**
Shido, you're not giving our kinswoman
the forbidden fruit before us, are you?
**[02:50] ---**
Complaint. Shido is forgetting that
he's our property first and foremost.
**[02:56] ---**
Hey! Me, too, me, too!
**[02:59] ---**
Yeah, yeah. I'll grab you
something, so hang tight.
**[03:03] ---**
Do you two want anything?

Yoshino's phone?
**[03:21] ---**
U-Um, Shido?
**[03:23] ---**
No, Yoshino. This isn't...
**[03:28] ---**
What's all this ruckus about?
**[03:30] ---**
Gah!
**[03:31] ---**
No, Natsumi! This isn't...!
**[03:33] ---**
You rotten fiend!
**[03:37] ---**
Sh-Shido!
**[03:38] ---**
Y-You did perverted things to Yoshino
while I was sleeping right beside her?!
**[03:44] ---**
It's a misunderstanding!
**[03:46] ---**
I was just reaching... for this!
**[03:49] ---**
"Kotori"
**[03:50] ---**
Kotori?!
**[03:51] ---**
Hello? Yoshino?
**[03:53] ---**
Kotori?! Is that you?!
**[04:15] ---**
This is... five years ago...
**[04:20] ---**
Metatron, Mal'akh!
**[04:29] ---**
Five years ago in Tengu City's Nankou area...
**[04:32] ---**
Dad... Mom...!
**[04:42] ---**
Shido...
**[04:45] ---**
I found... you.
**[04:47] ---**
I found you...
**[04:48] ---**
I found you! I found you!
I found you! I found you!
**[04:51] ---**
I finally found you!
**[04:54] ---**
Metatron!
**[05:03] ---**
Hmm? Attacking me out of nowhere...
**[05:07] ---**
I was wondering who it might be.
**[05:10] ---**
You're a Spirit?
**[05:11] ---**
And that Angel... Metatron?
**[05:15] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[05:17] ---**
I still have the Sephirah, so...
**[05:21] ---**
Hey, who are you?
**[05:23] ---**
Where did you come from?
**[05:26] ---**
Why did you attack me?
**[05:36] ---**
I see... You reversed the flow of time
using Zaphkiel, have you?
**[05:41] ---**
That's surprising... For her
to lend someone her powers...
**[05:45] ---**
Kadour!
**[05:57] ---**
You won't get away!
**[06:02] ---**
It seems the future me has earned
quite the grudge from you.
**[06:11] ---**
Sorry, but I can't let myself
be killed here by you.
**[06:16] ---**
I too have a wish I must make true.
**[06:20] ---**
A wish? For real?
**[06:23] ---**
You kill my dad and mom
and dare to have a wish?!
**[06:28] ---**
Screw you! Screw you! Screw you!
**[06:34] ---**
I won't give you time for your wish!
**[06:37] ---**
I won't give you time to pray!
**[06:40] ---**
Die without doing anything!
**[06:42] ---**
Disappear, leaving nothing behind!
**[06:45] ---**
Have nothing but regret
in your empty heart...
**[06:49] ---**
...and begone from the world!
**[06:51] ---**
Your dad and your mom?
**[06:54] ---**
Sorry, but maybe you have
the wrong person?
**[07:26] ---**
That was magnificent.
**[07:29] ---**
To think you could wield Metatron so well...
**[07:36] ---**
The birth of a powerful Spirit
should be celebrated.
**[07:41] ---**
You're...
**[07:43] ---**
That attack of yours
I'm delighted to witness.
**[07:47] ---**
This is all so my wish comes to pass.
**[07:50] ---**
Goodbye. It's about time I went on my way...
**[07:55] ---**
You're going nowhere!
**[07:57] ---**
...since I achieved my goal for today.
**[08:08] ---**
Dad... Mom...
**[08:31] ---**
Angel?
**[08:33] ---**
I...
**[08:36] ---**
...my dad... and mom.
**[08:40] ---**
I'll never forgive you!
**[08:42] ---**
I'll kill you...
**[08:47] ---**
I swear, I'll kill you!
**[08:49] ---**
Someday, I will!
**[08:56] ---**
I see. So Fraxinus was...
**[09:00] ---**
Anyway, I'm glad you're safe.
**[09:02] ---**
We're in Ratatoskr's underground base.
**[09:05] ---**
You all should come, too,
once your pickup arrives.
**[09:08] ---**
How do you know where we are?
**[09:10] ---**
Whose phone do you think you're on?
**[09:13] ---**
Oh...
**[09:15] ---**
Looks like they're there.
**[09:17] ---**
I'll fill you in on the rest
once you're here.
**[09:21] ---**
Hold up, Kotori.
**[09:23] ---**
The thing is, Origami...
**[09:28] ---**
Good work, Ellen.
**[09:31] ---**
Your performance was superb.
**[09:33] ---**
No, I took one too many direct hits.
**[09:37] ---**
The enemy crew had some talented individuals.
**[09:40] ---**
I see... Then let's hope a good number
of them survived then.
**[09:46] ---**
More importantly, Ike...
**[09:48] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[09:50] ---**
Understandably, this I didn't predict.
**[09:53] ---**
To think she would become a Spirit...
**[09:57] ---**
Ah, such a pity, too.
**[10:00] ---**
But you're smiling, Ike.
**[10:02] ---**
Oops, my bad.
**[10:04] ---**
And? Where is she now?
**[10:06] ---**
It seems like her reaction suddenly vanished.
**[10:10] ---**
Could she have Spirit wave
suppression powers?
**[10:14] ---**
You think so, too?
**[10:16] ---**
If she's a Spirit, she knows
she'll be hunted by us.
**[10:20] ---**
Of course she'd hide herself.
**[10:22] ---**
I wonder...
**[10:24] ---**
That would be smart, but...
**[10:26] ---**
The fact we have trouble
understanding them...
**[10:29] ---**
...is what makes Spirits Spirits.
**[10:33] ---**
You never know. She might be
watching over us as we speak.
**[10:40] ---**
Now then, was Origami able
to achieve her goal in the end?
**[10:46] ---**
If I'm to be perfectly honest,
**[10:49] ---**
I really hope Origami makes
her wish come true.
**[10:55] ---**
That's not like me to say at all.
**[10:58] ---**
Have you been out in
the moonlight too long?
**[11:01] ---**
Oh, it's no big deal.
**[11:04] ---**
Sometimes I happen to be
in this sort of mood.
**[11:15] ---**
"Kaguya Yamai" "Tohka Yatogami"
"Yuzuru Yamai" "Miku Izayoi"
**[11:20] ---**
What the hell?!
**[11:23] ---**
What? What is it?
**[11:25] ---**
The moon! The moon's...!
**[11:27] ---**
"Tengu City Municipal Hospital"
**[11:36] ---**
"Tengu City Municipal Hospital"
**[11:39] ---**
Shido! What's happening out there?!
**[11:41] ---**
Kotori, what is this?!
**[11:43] ---**
A Spirit! But, I don't get it...
**[11:46] ---**
This powerful, without any warning?
**[11:49] ---**
Kotori?!
**[11:50] ---**
This reaction is no normal Spirit!
It's an Inverse!
**[12:02] ---**
Are you okay, Shido?
**[12:03] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[12:06] ---**
We have to save the other people!
**[12:08] ---**
Everyone, help me out!
**[12:14] ---**
Where'd that Spirit come from?
**[12:22] ---**
Ori... gami?
**[12:27] ---**
What the hell happened to you?
**[12:29] ---**
Origami!
**[12:34] ---**
Origami Tobiichi's a Spirit?
**[12:36] ---**
Listen, Shido... Prepare
yourself emotionally.
**[12:40] ---**
"Exam Room"
"Internal Medicine"
**[12:41] ---**
No matter who it may be,
a Spirit is a Spirit.
**[12:45] ---**
You'll have to capture Origami Tobiichi.
**[12:48] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[12:51] ---**
Shido!
**[12:53] ---**
I don't know what happened to Origami.
**[12:56] ---**
But, if there's one person who can
bring her back, it's you, Shido.
**[13:03] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[13:07] ---**
Glad to see you understand.
**[13:10] ---**
If you started to whine
and complain about it,
**[13:13] ---**
I was ready to toss you through the sky.
**[13:16] ---**
Pledge. Kaguya and I will steer
you towards Master Origami.
**[13:22] ---**
Shido, please go and open up her eyes again.
**[13:32] ---**
Wait for me, Darling! I'll be
sad if you forget about me!
**[13:37] ---**
Look out!
**[13:46] ---**
Yoshino!
**[13:47] ---**
L-Let us take care of
everything on the ground!
**[13:53] ---**
With Zadkiel's power,
I think I can hold her off!
**[13:57] ---**
Hmph. I might as well help out, too, then.
**[14:01] ---**
All this debris means nothing if
I turn it into fluffy cotton puffs.
**[14:06] ---**
Natsumi...
**[14:10] ---**
Thanks, everyone!
**[14:13] ---**
Come on, let's go!
**[14:15] ---**
I'll open up the way!
**[14:20] ---**
Gotcha!
**[14:21] ---**
Acknowledged.
**[14:29] ---**
Whoa!
**[14:31] ---**
Praise. You're pretty good.
**[14:34] ---**
I appreciate that.
**[14:44] ---**
Go when I draw out her attack!
**[14:47] ---**
I won't last long!
**[14:49] ---**
Kaguya, Yuzuru! C'mon!
**[14:51] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[14:52] ---**
Acknowledged. Let's go!
**[14:54] ---**
I think not. We'll have no
meddling with the Inverse.
**[15:04] ---**
Shido!
**[15:05] ---**
Rescue! Raphael, El Nahash!
**[15:17] ---**
It's been a while, Shido Itsuka.
**[15:21] ---**
I could've done without seeing you again.
**[15:26] ---**
She's comparable to even Princess that time.
**[15:30] ---**
What a magnificent Inverse.
**[15:32] ---**
Ike will be delighted.
**[15:34] ---**
Screw you! We won't let you take Origami!
**[15:38] ---**
Barking at me like some dog
isn't going to accomplish anything.
**[15:43] ---**
Be silent and--
**[15:46] ---**
Yuzuru!
**[15:47] ---**
Response!
**[15:52] ---**
Origami!
**[15:57] ---**
Origami! It's me, Shido!
**[16:00] ---**
Can you hear me?!
**[16:07] ---**
All right...
**[16:13] ---**
Ori... gami...
**[16:38] ---**
Shit!
**[16:39] ---**
I've gotta get back to Origami!
**[16:48] ---**
Fraxinus?!
**[16:51] ---**
Looks like you went all out.
**[16:53] ---**
Kotori!
**[16:54] ---**
Pull back for now... is what I'd like to say.
**[16:57] ---**
But I don't think we can
afford that in this situation.
**[17:01] ---**
Our transport device is hanging in there,
so we'll send you over to Ori--
**[17:11] ---**
Kotori!
**[17:15] ---**
Kotori!
**[17:24] ---**
This is...
**[17:26] ---**
Long time no see, Shido.
**[17:29] ---**
Kurumi! What's your deal
at a time like this?!
**[17:32] ---**
Oh, my, has the great Shido completely
forgotten what my goal actually is?
**[17:39] ---**
At a time like this, you say?
In fact, what better time?
**[17:46] ---**
I can't let an opportunity
like this slip away.
**[17:49] ---**
Kurumi, please! Don't get in my way!
**[17:53] ---**
I have to save them!
I have to save Origami!
**[17:57] ---**
Ah, but that's hopeless.
**[18:01] ---**
Nobody's voice is going
to reach Origami as she is.
**[18:06] ---**
And by that I mean everyone, including you.
**[18:11] ---**
What could she have possibly
seen on her trip over there?
**[18:17] ---**
Well, anyway... It's time
to do what I came to do.
**[18:26] ---**
It's time, Zaphkiel!
**[18:28] ---**
Let's get this started!
**[18:37] ---**
Didn't I tell you already?
**[18:39] ---**
It's hopeless, no matter what you try.
**[18:47] ---**
It doesn't hurt?
**[18:49] ---**
What'd you do?
**[18:52] ---**
What indeed.
**[18:54] ---**
Borrowing that phrase you people say...
**[18:59] ---**
Now, let's begin our date!
**[19:31] ---**
Cicadas?
**[19:32] ---**
Why isn't the city destroyed?
**[19:36] ---**
Isn't this... Tengu City?
**[19:45] ---**
Ms. Tammie!
**[19:48] ---**
Um, how is it that you know my nickname?
**[19:53] ---**
C'mon, what are you talking about?
**[19:55] ---**
It's me, Shido Itsuka!
**[19:58] ---**
Wait, are you trying to hit on me?
**[20:01] ---**
I'm very sorry though.
I have somewhere to be.
**[20:04] ---**
Pardon me.
**[20:09] ---**
That was Ms. Tammie, right?
**[20:13] ---**
Kurumi!
**[20:15] ---**
You won't find me. I'm in a different
time than you are now, Shido.
**[20:21] ---**
What do you mean?
**[20:23] ---**
With Zaphkiel's last bullet, Yod Bet,
I sent you to Tengu City five years ago.
**[20:31] ---**
Five years ago?!
**[20:34] ---**
Take me back to where I belong!
**[20:36] ---**
--I don't have time for
your screwing around!
**[20:38] ---**
--Are you sure about that?
--I don't have time for
your screwing around!
**[20:40] ---**
The only way to reverse the
disaster unfolding in the present...
**[20:44] ---**
...is to deal with Origami over on that side.
**[20:48] ---**
Origami?
**[20:50] ---**
Yes...
**[21:03] ---**
So you're telling me Origami went
back five years to kill Phantom?
**[21:09] ---**
"Arai Shopping Arcade"
**[21:09] ---**
That's exactly it.
**[21:11] ---**
But if that's true, why would Origami
go Inverse in our original time?!
**[21:17] ---**
What in the world happened
to her when she came here?
**[21:20] ---**
That is something even I don't know.
**[21:24] ---**
To find out exactly that, and to reverse it,
**[21:28] ---**
is why I shot you with Yod Bet.
**[21:32] ---**
I see...
**[21:34] ---**
But, Kurumi... Why would you do this?
**[21:36] ---**
Using your Angel for someone else?
**[21:40] ---**
Yes, I know...
**[21:44] ---**
If I had to say,
**[21:46] ---**
it's because I want proof.
**[21:50] ---**
Proof that history can be changed.
**[21:55] ---**
Even becoming that which she hates,
her feet still trudge on.
**[21:59] ---**
Crossing time, defying God...
What lies at the end of her road?
