**[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...
