[00:35] Gu
    The dreams a man has will come true.
[00:39] Gu
    The stronger their wish,
    the more true this becomes.
[00:44] Gu
    You understand, of course, my friend?
[00:46] Gu
    The meaning of my words...
[00:48] Gu
    Of course.
[00:55] Gu
    But...
[00:56] Gu
    Yes. Flowers fall.
[00:59] Gu
    No man yet exists who can
    enforce his laws forever.
[01:04] Gu
    Only a miracle of God could.
[01:07] Gu
    What could be more unheard of than for a
    single being's will to cover the universe,
[01:12] Gu
    and change it to their bidding?
[01:16] Gu
    However, it is not impossible, correct?
[01:19] Gu
    Indeed.
[01:20] Gu
    The magic I gave you consists of four levels.
[01:25] Gu
    Activity. Formation. Creation. Emanation.
[01:30] Gu
    These follow the miracles
    of God in reverse order.
[01:33] Gu
    In other words, the higher the level,
[01:36] Gu
    the closer you are to the root of God.
[01:39] Gu
    At the Creation layer, there are limits to
    how you may maintain your world, but...
[01:44] Gu
    If one reaches the Emanation layer,
    those limits disappear.
[01:47] Gu
    Just as God said "Let there be light,"
    and all things flowed out from him.
[01:52] Gu
    The world is now governed by laws
    created in such a manner, yes?
[01:57] Gu
    I call it Eternal Recurrence.
[02:00] Gu
    A world where everything
    repeats again and again.
[02:04] Gu
    And that's where our sense
    of déjà vu comes from?
[02:07] Gu
    We continually remember the
    "we" that came before.
[02:12] Gu
    Is the only way to be rid of it
     to remove God from his throne?
[02:18] Gu
    Correct.
[02:20] Gu
    And that's where you come in.
[02:22] Gu
    Please reach the "Emanation" level.
[02:25] Gu
    The current God who created the current world
[02:28] Gu
    destroyed his predecessor and
    took the throne in the same way.
[02:33] Gu
    So God is replaced.
[02:37] Gu
    Is that the truth you believe in?
[02:41] Gu
    Correct.
[02:43] Gu
    It's time for the old man to leave the stage.
[02:49] Gu
    When you say it aloud, it sounds like the
    simplest, most normal thing in the world...
[03:02] Gu
    My friend, I don't consider
    myself as having lied, then.
[03:05] Gu
    You can kill me, I believe,
[03:08] Gu
    and I do want you to.
[03:11] Gu
    However...
[03:13] Gu
    the conclusion I truly long for...
[03:17] Gu
    is relinquishing the throne
     to another of my choosing.
SIGN    Emanation Level
[05:14] Gu
    Are you finished?
[05:15] Gu
    Yeah, I'm done.
[05:18] Gu
    Let's go.
[05:26] Gu
    Himuro-senpai is the nun's
    great granddaughter?
[05:29] Gu
    Yes.
[05:30] Gu
    Theresia doesn't know, I believe.
[05:33] Gu
    The Lebensborn association.
[05:35] Gu
    An organization Riza used to belong to.
[05:39] Gu
    A "farm" that attempted to bring humanity
    to the next level of evolution.
[05:43] Gu
    It's what they call eugenics.
[05:49] Gu
    Riza's goal at the time was to
    mass-produce people with superpowers.
[05:54] Gu
    Unfortunately, however,
    the result was a failure.
[05:57] Gu
    The children couldn't
    handle their own powers,
[06:00] Gu
    and broke like overheated machines.
[06:04] Gu
    They numbered well into the thousands.
[06:08] Gu
    Riza killed them, essentially.
[06:10] T
    Is that why she...
[06:12] Gu
    Yes.
[06:13] Gu
    She wanted to bring them back to life.
[06:17] Gu
    That's where her research
    became even more insane.
[06:21] Gu
    Isaak was the result of that.
[06:24] Gu
    Riza's child and Theresia's grandfather.
[06:28] Gu
    A component of the Swastika,
    a city-sized relic,
[06:31] Gu
    whose job was to activate it and
    strengthen Lord Heydrich's world.
[06:35] Gu
    A sacrifice, essentially.
[06:38] Gu
    Riza offered up her own son in order
    to save the children she'd killed.
[06:45] T
    So Isaak was eaten by Reinhard?
[06:50] T
    Then how was Senpai born?
[06:52] Gu
    The only part of Isaak that merged
    with Lord Heydrich was his soul.
[06:57] Gu
    His body remained.
[06:59] Gu
    You can imagine how it was done, I'm sure.
[07:03] T
    Eugenics?
[07:05] Gu
    Yes.
[07:06] Gu
    I'm sure you've heard,
[07:08] Gu
    but the Berlin Swastika alone wasn't enough.
[07:11] Gu
    Thus, the process must be repeated once more.
[07:14] Gu
    We need a second Isaak, essentially.
[07:18] Gu
    And that's...
[07:19] T
    Senpai?
[07:22] T
    But the sister told me to save her, too.
[07:27] T
    Regardless of the past,
[07:28] T
    she came up with her answer in the end.
[07:31] Gu
    The mind of a woman is a
    terribly complicated thing.
[07:36] Gu
    Riza said that her own internal discord
    was more important to her than anything.
[07:41] Gu
    We almost killed each other in that hospital,
[07:45] Gu
    but it feels like she ran
    away with the victory.
[07:49] Gu
    And that's why I want to see
    the results of her choice.
[07:53] Gu
    The result of what she entrusted you with.
[07:57] Gu
    I'm sure you understand
[07:59] Gu
    that the most effective way to seal
    away Lord Heydrich is to kill Theresia.
[08:06] Gu
    What will you do?
[08:11] Gu
    I already gave you my answer, Father.
[08:17] Gu
    What about you?
[08:18] Gu
    I'm the same.
[08:20] Gu
    I want to protect Theresia.
[08:22] Gu
    Then you'll give up your wish?
[08:25] Gu
    Don't you have someone you want to revive?
[08:29] Gu
    Between Himuro-senpai's life
    and your wish coming true,
[08:32] Gu
    you can only choose one!
[08:37] Gu
    There's never just one way.
[08:40] Gu
    That's the situation.
[08:42] Gu
    We call this ritual the Golden Alchemy,
[08:46] Gu
    and it has several critical parts.
[08:49] Gu
    Theresia is, of course, the core, but...
[08:52] Gu
    We can simply destroy the others.
[08:56] Gu
    If that happens, the gold will be incomplete,
[08:58] Gu
    and she won't have to die.
[09:02] Gu
    And my wish can only come true
    because the miracle is incomplete.
[09:08] Gu
    And what's more...
[09:09] Gu
    "Your dead loved ones will return and
    everyone will live happily ever after."
[09:15] Gu
    Do you think Lord Heydrich of all people
    would truly give us such a world?
[09:22] Gu
    Everyone is being naïve.
[09:24] Gu
    In their greed for the gold, they sign
    their name to the demon's contract.
[09:29] Gu
    But the love of destruction
    leads only to greater war...
[09:37] Gi
    I'm so late!
[09:41] Gi
    You're in the way, brother!
[09:42] Gu
    K-Kei!
[09:44] Gu
    Why are you in such a hurry?
[09:46] Gi
    You always take too long.
[09:49] Gi
    Can you really keep your job like that?
[09:50] Gu
    Well, maybe I'm not
    terribly dependable, but...
[09:55] Gu
    I'm doing the best I can for you.
[09:57] Gi
    Right, right.
[09:59] Gi
    Show us you can act like it, then.
[10:02] Gi
    If you're too wimpy, Beatrice won't like you.
[10:07] Gi
    Bye.
[10:17] Gi
    Yes. This is a dream.
[10:20] Gi
    I can't get rid of the stupid dream
    that says this might have been possible.
[10:26] Gi
    That's why I had to rely on a miracle.
[10:30] Gi
    Because...
[10:32] Gi
    It was so important to me... that warmth...
[10:35] Gi
    It was everything to me... their love.
[10:39] Gi
    And so I mustn't ever hesitate.
[10:44] Gi
    No matter who hates me,
[10:45] Gi
    no matter who I fight,
[10:46] Gi
    no matter who I kill,
[10:48] Gi
    no matter who I lose...
[10:50] Gi
    I won't hesitate.
[10:52] Gi
    Because I believe strongly that I can't.
[11:02] Gi
    I just had a dream...
[11:06] Gi
    I thought if I was, um... more normal...
[11:13] Gi
    I'd be happy.
[11:21] Gu
    You know,
[11:24] Gu
    it feels like I've ended up
    being the bad guy here,
[11:27] Gu
    and I don't like that at all.
[11:36] Gu
    I'll skip the detailed explanations.
[11:39] Gu
    Just know that five elements are necessary
    for the Golden Alchemy to succeed.
[11:44] Gu
    The first is Theresia.
[11:46] Gu
    And the second is Lord Heydrich's relic.
[11:50] Gu
    We have decided against
    removing the former,
[11:52] Gu
    and the latter cannot be destroyed.
[11:54] Gu
    And the other three?
[11:56] Gu
    You saw the battalion leaders
    of the Black Round Table, right?
[12:00] Gu
    Just defeat a single one of them.
[12:02] Gu
    Of course, that's as difficult
    a task as can be imagined.
[12:05] Gu
    Hence the alliance.
[12:08] Gu
    Let's bring Leonhart to our side.
[12:11] Gu
    There's room to negotiate with her.
[12:16] Gu
    Hey, Ren.
[12:17] Gu
    How've you been?
[12:19] Gu
    You...
[12:20] Gi
    He took Malleus over from
    the inside, I guess.
[12:23] Gi
    I've said this before,
    but the both of you are crazy.
[12:27] Gi
    So...
[12:28] Gi
    Since you've come here,
    I assume you want to fight.
[12:32] Gi
    Very well, I'll fight you.
[12:35] Gi
    This represents an opportunity
    for you, after all.
[12:42] Gu
    Knock it off.
[12:44] Gu
    Why are you looking like
    you're enjoying this?
[12:47] Gu
    I'm sorry. I enjoy listening to children talk.
[12:52] Gu
    Father...
[12:54] Gu
    This is going to get interesting.
[12:56] Gu
    Now, Leonhart...
[12:58] Gu
    I think you can tell, but he and I...
[13:18] Gu
    A thunderbolt?
[13:20] Gu
    Oh, dear, you got me.
[13:28] Gi
    No...
[13:29] Gu
    You're kidding me. How tough is he?
[13:32] Gu
    I believe it's likely some form
    of program Riza left behind.
[13:35] Gu
    Didn't I tell you, Fujii-san?
[13:38] Gu
    She and I came close to killing each other.
[13:43] Gu
    It's useless.
[13:45] Gu
    The Grail cannot be destroyed.
[13:49] Gu
    Although I doubt you've any
    mind to comprehend that.
[13:59] Gu
    Fujii-san, I'd like for you
    to help me, if possible.
[14:03] Gu
    That is our current relationship, yes?
[14:07] Gu
    But...
[14:09] Gu
    Can you shut this thing up already?
[14:13] Gu
    Sheesh. I knew it, but seeing it
    for real is freaking me out.
[14:17] Gu
    Is that the priest's grail?
[14:20] Gu
    Shiro?
[14:21] Gu
    That woman told you, didn't she?
[14:24] Gu
    I stole a bunch of stuff
    from the little girl.
[14:27] Gu
    One of those things was information.
[14:29] Gu
    In other words, I've got a pretty
    good idea of what's going on.
[14:34] Gu
    And if you ask me, teaming up with that
    thing is the stupidest thing you could do.
[14:39] Gu
    Let me tell you something.
[14:41] Gu
    His body is...
[14:47] Gi
    Why... Why are you so...
[14:51] Gi
    Tell me, please! What is it that...
[14:57] Gi
    Brother!
[15:12] Gu
    Why? How?
[15:14] Gu
    You don't know?
[15:19] Gu
    Ask yourself to find the answer, Leonhart.
[15:23] Gu
    If you wish to be the Valhalla offered
    to Lord Heydrich, to be his einherjar.
[15:30] Gi
    I...
[15:32] Gu
    Now then, Fujii-san...
[15:35] Gu
    It seems it will be difficult
    for us to cooperate officially,
[15:39] Gu
    but that doesn't change our task.
[15:41] Gu
    Let us defeat the three battalion
    leaders to save Theresia.
[15:47] Gu
    We'll do it tomorrow evening.
[15:48] Gu
    At the church.
[15:50] Gu
    I expect you to fight hard.
[15:52] Gu
    Wait—
[15:52] Gi
    Wait! You...
[15:54] Gu
    You must first learn about the Emanation level,
    which is above the Creation level.
[16:02] Gu
    It's nothing difficult.
[16:03] Gu
    It's just as the word implies.
[16:08] Gu
    Hey, Ren!
[16:12] Gu
    Hey!
[16:13] Gi
    Ren...
[16:14] Gu
    Hey!
[16:15] Gi
    Ren...
[16:27] Gu
    This world is ruled by the
    law of Eternal Recurrence.
[16:32] Gu
    I created this universe according to my laws,
[16:35] Gu
    but I can no longer stop of my own will.
[16:38] Gu
    And so I have waited,
    millions, billions of times...
[16:44] Gu
    For the birth of one who would take my place.
[16:51] Gu
    Marguerite,
[16:53] Gu
    I am sure now that I created this
    unending recurrence in order to meet you.
[17:00] Gu
    A stifling law where everything
    repeats itself, and nothing is unknown,
[17:06] Gu
    meeting you was the one repeated act I loved.
[17:13] Gu
    Therefore,
[17:15] Gu
    before I commit suicide,
[17:17] Gu
    please make the world of
    the goddess flow outward.
[17:20] Gu
    I cannot hold back the desire to be destroyed
[17:24] Gu
    by my self-destructive impulse any longer.
[17:27] Gu
    It's all for you and no one else...
[17:44] Gu
    I have prepared this, so please
    grant my wish, beloved flower...
[18:28] Gi
    Ren?
[18:30] Gu
    What's wrong?
[18:32] Gi
    A lot, but...
[18:35] Gi
    I'm weird, aren't I?
[18:38] Gi
    It's never bothered me before,
[18:41] Gi
    but I changed a little after meeting you.
[18:44] Gi
    I started thinking about
    myself and everyone else,
[18:49] Gi
    and I understood what
    Cagliostro told me before.
[18:55] Gi
    This world keeps repeating.
[18:58] Gi
    That's the way it works.
[19:01] Gi
    So if I die, I return to my mother's belly
[19:04] Gi
    and I'll live the same life again and again.
[19:09] Gi
    If that's true, then this makes no sense...
[19:12] Gi
    There's no such thing
    as ghosts in that world.
[19:15] Gi
    So what am I?
[19:20] Gi
    I'm scared!
[19:23] Gu
    There are two things I can't tell people about.
[19:26] Gu
    The first is memories
    I don't really understand.
[19:29] Gu
    I guess you could say a previous life.
[19:31] Gu
    I remember a "me" who's different than I am
    now, living and dying in a different time.
[19:37] Gu
    It gets pretty hazy at the end,
[19:39] Gu
    but I don't think it's just a dream.
[19:43] Gu
    If that's real, I'm as crazy as you are.
[19:46] Gu
    I'm breaking the rules of this world.
[19:50] Gi
    You're different, Ren! You're not crazy...
[19:53] Gi
    Well, maybe you are!
[19:56] Gi
    But you're you, and you can stay that way!
[19:58] Gi
    I'm happy I met you and
    I want to stay with you longer!
[20:03] Gi
    But if I'm with you, maybe I'll
    just be in the way, I think...
[20:09] Gu
    The second secret...
[20:12] Gu
    A long time ago, I saw somebody
    get killed right in front of me,
[20:16] Gu
    and it's bothered me ever since.
[20:19] Gu
    Telling the truth would just
    hurt Kasumi, so I can't do it.
[20:24] Gu
    But that feels cowardly...
[20:27] Gu
    Honestly, sometimes I wish
    they'd just come back to life.
[20:35] Gu
    But I know that's not right.
[20:39] Gu
    What I'm trying to say is...
[20:43] Gu
    I should have a really hard time
    dealing with ghosts and stuff,
[20:48] Gu
    but I don't think there's
    anything wrong with you, Marie.
[20:51] Gu
    I'm glad I met you. That's what I think.
[20:56] Gi
    You're happy that I'm not normal?
[20:59] Gi
    You're saying that's important?
[21:04] Gi
    You really are weird.
[21:07] Gi
    I think I'm a big pain
    to have around, though.
[21:12] Gi
    I'm making you do all these scary,
    painful, and hurtful things...
[21:16] Gi
    I know how awful it all is.
[21:20] Gi
    If it was me, I'd cry.
[21:22] Gi
    I'd want to complain.
[21:25] Gi
    So why? Why are you nice to me?
[21:29] Gu
    Yeah... Normally, I'd complain, I guess.
[21:33] Gi
    That's right.
[21:34] Gu
    Can I, then?
[21:36] Gi
    Go ahead.
[21:37] Gi
    Whatever it is, I'll accept it.
[21:51] Gu
    Thank you, Marie.
[21:57] Gu
    There's something I finally understand.
[22:02] Gu
    I've always wondered how I could atone,
[22:07] Gu
    and you're the answer, Marie.
[22:10] Gu
    It's not for the dead to come back to life,
[22:12] Gu
    or to repeat the same thing forever.
[22:16] Gu
    There's a way that's only
    possible because of you.
[22:20] Gu
    And I was born to save and protect it.
[22:25] Gi
    Is there, really?
[22:30] Gi
    I hope so...
[22:33] Gu
    Then I, too, shall pray for
    that wish to come true,
[22:36] Gu
    Goddess of Twilight,
    the next throne of God...
