[00:12] ---
    Flooding into the wound in
    my heart comes pain in the dark
[00:23] ---
    That feeling of being connected
    as we came together melts away
[00:33] ---
    In the delirium of my unrelenting fever,
    I can't even hear the final voice
[00:44] ---
    Don't cry! When I held you tight,
    you were trembling
[00:55] ---
    Gently, hold my raised hand
[01:03] ---
    Surely, I've been searching for
    the everlasting miracle that is you
[01:14] ---
    Firmly, lay your hand upon me
[01:24] ---
    Ever and never end
[01:28] ---
    You set me free so far away
[01:36] ---
    Kanda went missing?!
[01:38] ---
    He went to collect the Innocence
    found in ruins outside Rome,
[01:43] ---
    but we haven't been able
    to get in touch with him,
[01:46] ---
    or the Finder who went
    with him, for a week.
[01:48] ---
    The man who abducted her
    identified himself as Vittorio.
[01:52] ---
    Vittorio?!
[01:53] ---
    That sword fighter who's
    been living for 1,000 years?!
[02:17] ---
    His injuries are disappearing...
[02:23] ---
    No!
[02:25] ---
    Kanda!
[02:27] ---
    "Pride of the Swordsman"
[02:34] ---
    Kanda!
[02:35] ---
    Allen-kun!
[02:37] ---
    This is it for you.
[02:59] ---
    Kanda!
[03:05] ---
    A heartbeat... He's still alive.
[03:08] ---
    Of course...
[03:11] ---
    You think I'd die?
[03:13] ---
    Kanda...
[03:15] ---
    Kanda-san!
[03:32] ---
    Allen-kun's left arm doesn't get hurt
[03:34] ---
    no matter how many shots it
    takes from Akuma, but it's...
[03:39] ---
    Innocence dwells in Vittorio's sword.
[03:42] ---
    Even an Exorcist's
    Anti-Akuma Weapon can't...
[03:46] ---
    Why does he have that sword?
[03:48] ---
    If he can use Innocence,
    he could also be...
[03:51] ---
    He isn't an Accommodator!
    What?
[03:54] ---
    He is... enslaved by the
    Innocence... both body and soul...
[03:59] ---
    Enslaved?
[04:01] ---
    We don't know where
    Vittorio obtained that sword.
[04:05] ---
    However, it seems that he couldn't control
    the Innocence's power with his own will,
[04:09] ---
    like an Accommodator would.
[04:13] ---
    When confronted with great power,
    Vittorio's Innocence overpowers his will,
[04:19] ---
    wishing to fight stronger
    ones and defeat them...
[04:24] ---
    The Innocence is running out of control?!
[04:27] ---
    Is that why you were fighting
    him without using your Innocence
[04:30] ---
    so that you wouldn't awaken his Innocence?
[04:32] ---
    It's not possible... He
    can't defeat Vittorio.
[04:39] ---
    Kanda-san!
[04:42] ---
    There's no way you can
    move with such a heavy injury!
[04:45] ---
    Watch over him a while.
[04:46] ---
    Okay.
[05:09] ---
    Innocence... activate!
[05:18] ---
    Lenalee!
[05:21] ---
    I don't fight women. Get lost!
[05:46] ---
    Stop it!
[05:56] ---
    Claudia... san?
[05:59] ---
    So you were taken by Vittorio after all...
[06:04] ---
    I won't go back.
[06:06] ---
    No matter how hard you try to take
    me back, you're just wasting your time.
[06:10] ---
    Please go back and tell
    my father and Paletti...
[06:13] ---
    that I'll never go back.
[06:16] ---
    Claudia-san...
[06:18] ---
    Ah! Wait!
[07:09] ---
    I don't know if it'll work,
[07:12] ---
    but go ahead and apply it to his wounds.
[07:14] ---
    We'll try it... Then please
    tell them about that story later.
[07:18] ---
    Sure.
[07:24] ---
    How's Allen-kun?
[07:25] ---
    He seems okay.
[07:26] ---
    Although he was quite shocked when
    he couldn't move his left arm any longer,
[07:32] ---
    it's been recovering.
[07:34] ---
    Seems like it was temporary
    nerve paralysis.
[07:37] ---
    Good...
[07:39] ---
    Well... there's a story that
    I'd like you and Allen-san to hear.
[07:44] ---
    What is it?
[07:49] ---
    Having become exhausted
    after fighting Vittorio for two days,
[07:53] ---
    Kanda-san slept two full days
    in a nearby mountain cottage.
[07:57] ---
    During that time, I was going around
[08:01] ---
    listening to the local folk tales
    in order to collect information.
[08:05] ---
    That's when I met this old lady
[08:08] ---
    and came to know the story
    about Sandra and Vittorio.
[08:12] ---
    This story takes place 1,000 years ago.
[08:15] ---
    The lord who ruled this land at that time
[08:17] ---
    had a beautiful daughter named Sandra.
[08:22] ---
    At the age of 16, many men who
    wanted to marry her showed up.
[08:29] ---
    However, no matter how good the marriage
    offer was, the princess never said yes.
[08:35] ---
    I will be the wife of the
    strongest man in this world.
[08:39] ---
    Then, to test their strength, she told
    them to fight against the sword fighter,
[08:45] ---
    Vittorio, who worked for her family.
[08:48] ---
    The fighting went on even after the
    princess passed away from sickness,
[08:53] ---
    and it is said that it
    still goes on even now...
[08:58] ---
    I was told that the Sardini
    family's residence is standing
[09:00] ---
    on the land the lord's
    house used to be built on.
[09:03] ---
    In other words, Vittorio thinks that
    Claudia-san is Princess Sandra...?
[09:09] ---
    I see! That's why he went
    to report to Claudia-san
[09:12] ---
    each time he defeated Akuma
    who were after the Innocence.
[09:16] ---
    The world's strongest
    man has yet to appear.
[09:23] ---
    He saw them as the men who
    were proposing to Princess Sandra.
[09:30] ---
    It was one month ago that Vittorio
    first appeared in front of Claudia-san.
[09:36] ---
    It indeed matches with the time that
    Akuma started gathering around the ruins.
[09:42] ---
    But what was he doing until then?
[09:45] ---
    He probably continued to
    sleep within the ruins
[09:49] ---
    until the opponents he
    had to fight appeared...
[09:52] ---
    Opponents he had to fight?
[09:54] ---
    As long as Vittorio has
    the sword of Innocence,
[09:57] ---
    Akuma will keep appearing.
[10:00] ---
    Then what about Claudia-san?
[10:03] ---
    It's as if she's become a
    part of this fantasy world
[10:06] ---
    that could become nothing but
    an endless series of battles.
[11:49] ---
    That's reckless! Your wounds are still...
[11:51] ---
    They healed.
[11:52] ---
    Your wounds... have become smaller...
[12:00] ---
    Where do you think you're going?
[12:01] ---
    Defeating him and collecting
    the Innocence is my job.
[12:06] ---
    But how?! Even if you cut him
    with Mugen, he regenerates.
[12:10] ---
    I'll do something about it.
[12:12] ---
    There's trouble! Akuma appeared at
    the ruins again and are fighting Vittorio.
[12:17] ---
    What?!
[12:22] ---
    You haven't completely recovered yet.
[12:24] ---
    At least rest for the rest of today.
[12:27] ---
    I can't! What're we gonna do if they
    take the Innocence while I'm resting?!
[12:31] ---
    We'll hold them back.
[12:32] ---
    I can't count on that!
[12:34] ---
    Please believe in me, Lenalee and Vittorio!
[12:38] ---
    Vittorio?
[12:40] ---
    He won't be defeated easily.
    He can't afford to!
[12:45] ---
    So the Innocence won't be taken away!
[12:47] ---
    Allen-kun...
[12:49] ---
    But if there're too many Akuma,
    Claudia-san will be in danger.
[12:53] ---
    So we'll go there to protect her.
[12:57] ---
    So please stay here and think about how
    to collect the Innocence from Vittorio.
[13:03] ---
    Think?! Don't give me orders!
[13:08] ---
    Please... If you think,
    I'm sure you'll find a good way.
[13:12] ---
    You bastard!
[13:14] ---
    Pedro-san! Please keep an eye on him!
[13:17] ---
    Okay!
[13:57] ---
    Kanda-san is really thinking...
[14:09] ---
    Vittorio-san!
[14:42] ---
    Vittorio-san! Please wake up!
[14:45] ---
    You no longer have to fight!
[14:47] ---
    Princess Sandra died a long long time ago.
[14:51] ---
    Not knowing it, you've
    continued to fight for 1,000 years!
[14:54] ---
    But you no longer...
[14:56] ---
    The princess is alive!
[14:58] ---
    And she wishes that I continue to win.
[15:02] ---
    I have to continue to cater to that wish.
[15:11] ---
    Come!
[15:12] ---
    Please wake up! Your fight is already over!
[15:16] ---
    It's not over yet!
[15:29] ---
    You loved Princess Sandra!
[15:31] ---
    So you didn't want anyone to take her!
[15:34] ---
    I'm a sword fighter who
    serves the princess!
[15:37] ---
    I'm just following her orders!
[15:40] ---
    Vittorio thinks you're Princess Sandra.
[15:43] ---
    You're the only one who can stop him!
[15:48] ---
    Do you intend to keep
    him fighting forever?!
[15:51] ---
    Do you want to live here with him as well?!
[15:55] ---
    That's fine...
[15:57] ---
    What?
[15:58] ---
    Vittorio saved me... from that captive life
[16:02] ---
    where I wasn't allowed to make
    a single decision on my own...
[16:09] ---
    I was scared at first... because I
    didn't know why he appeared before me.
[16:15] ---
    But all he did was report and he
    always went back quietly after that...
[16:20] ---
    But that night...
    he asked me for the first time...
[16:26] ---
    Why are you crying?
[16:29] ---
    I don't wanna be forced
    to marry by my father!
[16:32] ---
    Vittorio helped me escape.
[16:37] ---
    Please put down your sword!
[16:40] ---
    As long as you keep fighting,
    Claudia-san is in danger!
[16:44] ---
    Vittorio's existence draws Akuma!
    You can never live quietly with him!
[17:02] ---
    This is why I say you're too soft!
[17:05] ---
    Kanda?! Come with me!
[17:10] ---
    Don't press your luck!
[17:13] ---
    Get lost!
[17:19] ---
    Kanda!
[17:39] ---
    Since he wouldn't put down his
    sword, what else could I do...?
[17:45] ---
    Vittorio!
[18:49] ---
    I'm scared... I'm scared of losing...
[18:53] ---
    No... rather, I want to lose...
[18:57] ---
    I want to lose... and end it now...
[19:02] ---
    But... I can't bear it if she
    becomes someone else's wife...
[19:10] ---
    I don't want to lose...
    I want to keep winning... forever...
[19:28] ---
    Vittorio! Vittorio!
[19:31] ---
    Vittorio! Hang in there!
[19:34] ---
    You no longer have to fight...
    Let's go somewhere quiet together...
[19:44] ---
    Princess...
[19:45] ---
    No... I knew you weren't the princess...
[19:51] ---
    I also knew that the princess
    had already passed away...
[19:55] ---
    Even so... I was happy that
    I was able to fight for you...
[20:05] ---
    You should live for yourself...
[20:11] ---
    just like Sandra did...
[20:15] ---
    Vittorio...
[20:27] ---
    Vittorio!
[20:31] ---
    No! Don't die! Vittorio!
[20:45] ---
    Three days later, Claudia-san went
    back to the Sardini family residence,
[20:50] ---
    packed up her belongings
    and then left again.
[20:55] ---
    She chose to decide her own life.
[21:06] ---
    I'll get it back with my own hands
[21:10] ---
    I can see the light of tomorrow
[21:25] ---
    It seems like you're tired
    of playing by yourself
[21:33] ---
    Is the voice in your heart reaching you?
[21:41] ---
    What you hear is the answer
[21:49] ---
    This irrational feeling is
    one definite form of pride
[21:57] ---
    As if in a movie I saw long ago,
    I can see my future self
[22:08] ---
    I race forth because I want
    to become ever stronger
[22:15] ---
    The pride cast aside to
    bury that which was lost
[22:23] ---
    I'll get it back with my own hands
[22:27] ---
    I can see the pride of tomorrow
[22:36] ---
