[00:15] Gi
    It hurts.
[00:19] Gi
    I'm scared.
[00:27] Gi
    I'm sad.
[00:33] Gi
    This is...
[00:36] Gi
    Ren...
[00:54] Gu
    Have you awakened, Marguerite?
[00:57] Gu
    I have prepared a small party for you.
[01:00] Gu
    I hope that you like it.
[01:03] Gi
    Who are you?
[01:05] Gu
    Karl did not tell you?
[01:07] Gu
    I am his friend.
[01:10] Gu
    Oh, did he tell you a different name?
[01:14] Gu
    For example, yes...
[01:17] Gi
    Cagliostro?
[01:21] Gu
    He has spoken of you to me.
[01:25] Gu
    A woman like a goddess, he said.
[01:29] Gu
    He has strange tastes,
[01:32] Gu
    but I suppose I agree.
[01:35] Gu
    And so, I put the question to you.
[01:37] Gu
    What do you think of me?
[01:40] Gi
    What?
[01:51] Gu
    Your answer?
[01:53] Gi
    You let everyone die.
[01:56] Gi
    You destroy them.
[01:57] Gi
    You turn everything into this.
[02:00] Gi
    You are a frightening person.
[02:04] Gu
    I see.
[02:07] Gu
    You fear my path to consequence.
[02:10] Gu
    But that is strange.
[02:13] Gu
    The goddess of whom I heard
[02:15] Gu
    would not have felt that way toward others.
[02:20] Gu
    Emotionless, and thus, infallible...
[02:23] Gu
    In other words, I thought you had no heart.
[02:34] Gi
    This is pain.
[02:35] Gu
    Indeed.
[02:36] Gu
    My love is the karma of destruction.
[02:39] Gu
    With this Valhalla, I shall conquer all.
[02:43] Gu
    I told you I would teach you how to love.
[02:48] Gi
    I'm scared!
[02:49] Gi
    No...
[02:50] Gi
    Your world is wrong.
[02:53] Gu
    Then, we shall not receive Heaven together.
[02:56] Gu
    There is no need for two rulers.
[02:58] Gu
    Let us celebrate!
[02:59] Gu
    Here, the war has been declared!
SIGN    Swastika
[04:50] Gu
    I did it! I did it!
[04:52] Gu
    It's a success!
[04:54] Gu
    Welcome, Zarathustra,
    bastard child of Karl Krafft!
[04:59] Gu
    No, that isn't right...
[05:01] Gu
    I know... Ren! I'll call you "Ren"!
[05:04] Gu
    A flower of hope, born from the mud.
[05:06] Gu
    From now on, you are my son!
[05:09] Gu
    You needn't worry.
[05:11] Gu
    I'm sure my wife and daughter will love you.
[05:18] R
    Ren... Ren...
[05:21] R
    That's... me.
[05:24] R
    What am I?
[05:30] R
    Maybe I knew it from the start,
[05:32] R
    that I would never have a normal life.
[05:39] R
    That everything was temporary.
[05:40] R
    Like a dream.
[05:42] R
    Someday, this everyday life would end,
[05:45] R
    and the real scenario would begin.
[05:49] R
    So I hoped that time would stop.
[05:53] R
    That this would go on forever.
[05:56] R
    That I wouldn't have to lose
    what was important to me.
[06:00] R
    I wished that
[06:02] R
    this future would never come.
[06:05] R
    I...
[06:08] R
    I...
[06:09] R
    Marie!
[06:11] R
    Marie!
[06:17] R
    Where am I?
[06:25] R
    Damn it...
[06:26] R
    It's no good.
[06:28] R
    Marie! Marie!
[06:30] R
    Answer me! Are you there?
[06:35] Gi
    Hello, Fujii-kun.
[06:38] R
    Senpai?
[06:40] Gi
    Wait. I'll unlock the manacles.
[06:48] R
    Are we at the church?
[06:50] Gi
    Yes.
[06:52] R
    The basement?
[06:54] Gi
    Yes.
[06:55] R
    A secret fort, huh?
[06:56] Gi
    Are you stupid?
[06:59] Gi
    Isn't there more you want to ask?
[07:03] Gi
    Ask.
[07:05] Gi
    Instead, you're only asking where you are.
[07:08] Gi
    I can't believe you.
[07:09] R
    I already know the thing
    I most wanted to know.
[07:13] R
    That you're on my side.
[07:16] R
    Or else you wouldn't do this, would you?
[07:21] Gi
    You're a nasty person, right?
[07:25] Gi
    And I am a wicked woman.
[07:28] Gi
    I thought this day might come.
[07:32] Gi
    That my entire life was a mere dream.
[07:35] Gi
    And that there was no way I would ever get
[07:39] Gi
    to lead a normal life.
[07:43] Gi
    So first, let's close our eyes.
[07:48] Gi
    Let's shut our ears and our mouths.
[07:53] Gi
    Stop breathing and never move.
[07:56] Gi
    Keep your heart as hard as stone,
[07:59] Gi
    so you feel nothing.
[08:01] Gi
    Don't notice anything.
[08:03] Gi
    When I did that, Fujii-kun...
[08:07] Gi
    I started thinking that maybe
    everything would simply end.
[08:13] Gi
    I was so frightened of doing anything.
[08:16] Gi
    I...
[08:21] R
    Me, too.
[08:23] R
    I was the same.
[08:25] R
    Maybe I knew this would happen someday, too.
[08:28] R
    So I looked away, pretended,
[08:30] R
    ignored anything I didn't want to see.
[08:33] R
    But it isn't too late!
[08:36] R
    Do something, Senpai!
[08:38] R
    I haven't given up,
    and I haven't lost anything yet.
[08:46] Gi
    Then, will you make love to me here?
[08:50] Gi
    If you want to do something, then rape me.
[08:53] Gi
    And if you can't do that,
[08:55] Gi
    then just kill me.
[09:01] Gi
    I've always thought I shouldn't be alive.
[09:08] Gi
    Sorry, that was a joke.
[09:09] Gi
    Do the rest yourself.
[09:11] Gi
    Bye-bye.
[09:12] R
    Hey, wait! Hey!
[09:33] F
    You give up quickly, Theresia.
[09:36] F
    That must not be fun for Fujii-san.
[09:39] F
    If you come up with an idea,
     you should see it through.
[09:42] F
    Of course...
[09:45] F
    Nothing can be done about some things.
[09:48] R
    Shut up!
[09:50] R
    I hate you, jerk!
[09:52] R
    Don't talk to me anymore, jerk!
[10:04] R
    Okay.
[10:09] Gu
    Rough day, huh, Fujii-san?
[10:12] Gu
    I apologize for Theresia's rudeness.
[10:15] R
    Where is she now?
[10:17] Gu
    Couldn't say. She seemed upset.
[10:21] Gu
    I stay away from women like that.
[10:25] Gu
    I'm willing to take a slap,
[10:27] Gu
    just not at the moment.
[10:30] Gu
    It would be infidelity.
[10:31] Gu
    Come with me.
[10:33] Gu
    Lord Heydrich awaits.
[10:41] R
    Then, you're saying she knows nothing?
[10:45] F
    Yes.
[10:46] F
    She was born in this era, and until now,
     has lived a normal life.
[10:50] F
    Though, perhaps having had
    creatures like us around her
[10:54] F
    since childhood, has tipped
    her off to something...
[10:58] F
    But you mustn't blame her for that.
[11:00] F
    Humans always see what they desire to see.
[11:04] F
    Especially when they have no proof.
[11:06] F
    You cannot act ahead of time with
    only a vague sense of unease.
[11:11] R
    That's because you led her to be that way.
[11:14] F
    I cannot deny that,
[11:17] F
    although Liza gets most of the credit.
[11:20] F
    But now, you should worry
    about yourself, not her.
[11:25] F
    If nothing else, I wouldn't
    want to be in your shoes.
[11:35] F
    I speak from the heart when I say this.
[11:37] F
    I wish you good luck.
[11:40] F
    Lord Heydrich is a man like no other.
[11:43] F
    You cannot judge him as a human being.
[12:18] R
    What is that?
[12:21] R
    Kill? Destroy?
[12:23] R
    No, that isn't it.
[12:26] R
    That means...
[12:27] Gu
    "Hagall."
[12:28] Gu
    Destruction. The end.
[12:31] Gu
    The old order's death,
     and the power to bring it about.
[12:34] Gu
    Unstoppable nature.
[12:36] Gu
    A great disaster.
[12:38] Gu
    The twilight of the gods.
[12:39] Gu
    The last war.
[12:42] Gu
    It is Dies Irae.
[12:43] Gu
    That is what I await.
[12:47] Gu
    Sit.
[12:48] Gu
    You need not be so afraid.
[12:52] Gu
    I am sure the Grail Priest frightened you,
[12:55] Gu
    but I value politeness.
[12:57] Gu
    As the master of this place,
    I know how to treat guests.
[13:03] Gu
    Sit.
[13:08] Gu
    I see.
[13:10] Gu
    An interesting choice.
[13:12] Gu
    Symbolic, one could say.
[13:14] Gu
    Do you know whose seat that is?
[13:19] R
    No.
[13:19] R
    I don't care.
[13:21] R
    What are you going to do to me?
[13:23] Gu
    Do to you?
[13:27] Gu
    I simply wanted to talk to you.
[13:34] Gu
    Every fraction of every moment,
[13:36] Gu
    I am always testing
     how I might feel the unknown.
[13:44] Gu
    In other words, I am a prisoner of déjà vu.
[13:50] Gu
    That would be the easiest
    way to explain it to you.
[13:55] Gu
    I remember this moment.
[13:57] Gu
    I have repeated it an
    infinite number of times,
[14:01] Gu
    without even the slightest deviation.
[14:05] Gu
    At this point, I can no longer
    dismiss it as a hallucination.
[14:09] Gu
    Not since I meet Karl.
[14:11] R
    Karl Krafft...
[14:13] Gu
    Yes.
[14:14] Gu
    A man far stranger than most.
[14:17] Gu
    But it is said he possesses
    thousands of names.
[14:21] Gu
    For example, Faust.
[14:23] Gu
    Saint Germain. Paracelsus.
[14:26] Gu
    Cagliostro.
[14:28] Gu
    And Mercurius.
[14:31] Gu
    That is, perhaps, the most well-known?
[14:35] Gu
    That's stupid...
[14:37] Gu
    How many years has he been alive, then?
[14:39] Gu
    Do you believe that?
[14:41] Gu
    Neither... Or either.
[14:45] Gu
    That is not important.
[14:48] Gu
    But he had power.
[14:50] Gu
    He was very interesting.
[14:51] Gu
    His objectives matched my own.
[14:54] Gu
    So there was no problem at all.
[14:57] R
    Objectives?
[14:59] Gu
    I told you.
[15:00] Gu
    Déjà vu.
[15:02] Gu
    I formed a friendship with him.
[15:06] Gu
    And thanks to that,
     the whole world now seems blurry.
[15:10] Gu
    My life was always passionless,
    but this was worse.
[15:15] Gu
    I have never felt a sense of achievement,
[15:19] Gu
    liberation, or satisfaction.
[15:23] Gu
    No matter what my position,
[15:25] Gu
    no matter what glory or honor surrounded me,
    I was never fulfilled.
[15:30] Gu
    Why?
[15:32] Gu
    Karl said...
[15:34] Gu
    You aren't being serious.
[15:38] Gu
    Clichéd, yes?
[15:40] Gu
    Like a boy's fantasies of being
    drunk on omnipotence.
[15:43] Gu
    But he also said this.
[15:46] Gu
    The closer to the extreme,
    the more clichéd you are.
[15:50] Gu
    In other words, I appear to have
    been born into the wrong world.
[15:55] Gu
    But he said controlling myself
    would be untrue to my life.
[16:01] Gu
    If I truly face the world, and the
    world is consequently destroyed,
[16:07] Gu
    then my love is destruction.
[16:11] Gu
    I wish to embrace and destroy it.
[16:15] Gu
    In other words,
[16:16] Gu
    you just want satisfaction?
[16:20] Gu
    What else is there?
[16:23] Gu
    Two things, specifically.
[16:26] Gu
    A situation in which I have no choice
     but to use my full power.
[16:30] Gu
    And that that which ensues is unknown to me.
[16:35] Gu
    This is not my world.
[16:38] Gu
    And thus,
[16:39] Gu
    I must create the world that
    should be, and cause it to flow.
[16:44] Gu
    I must create a mountain worthy
    of climbing, and then climb it.
[16:48] Gu
    That will be the end of my déjà vu.
[16:52] Gu
    Because I love everything,
[16:54] Gu
    I will destroy everything and paint it over.
[16:56] Gu
    I once sacrificed Berlin,
    but it was not enough.
[17:01] Gu
    It isn't unknown.
[17:03] Gu
    The result of making a world
    to rival the law of déjà vu,
[17:06] Gu
    simply shifted it into another dimension.
[17:09] Gu
    Like two great powers,
     staring at one another across the sea.
[17:14] Gu
    Therefore, to invade,
[17:16] Gu
    I require a sacrifice now.
[17:19] Gu
    And that is...
[17:20] F
    This town?
[17:23] Gu
    Indeed.
[17:24] F
    Then, you're calling everything
    here your tool?
[17:29] Gu
    Your anger is directed at the wrong person.
[17:32] Gu
    Without us, this town would
    never have been born.
[17:36] Gu
    Shambhala, the eastern paradise.
[17:40] Gu
    Since the time of World War II,
     Karl has been making a second Berlin here.
[17:46] Gu
    A place with eight ley lines.
[17:49] Gu
    Manifest eight battlefields there,
    and sacrifice many souls.
[17:56] Gu
    The result will be a city-sized relic,
[18:00] Gu
    a swastika.
[18:02] Gu
    A golden alchemical circle
    that will grant my wish.
[18:08] Gu
    And two have already opened.
[18:12] Gu
    Thus, six battlefields remain.
[18:16] Gu
    Much blood and a soul's
    penitence are required.
[18:20] Gu
    Understand?
[18:21] Gu
    That is where you come in.
[18:24] Gu
    Conquer the eight battlefields
    here, in Shambhala,
[18:27] Gu
    to allow me to manifest.
[18:30] Gu
    Refusal will only result
    in meaningless deaths.
[18:34] Gu
    You cannot refuse.
[18:38] Gu
    Well? What will you do?
[18:40] Gu
    You understand, so it is time to decide.
[18:43] Gu
    Withdraw or advance?
[18:45] Gu
    Show me the unknown.
[18:54] Gu
    Return Marie!
[18:56] Gu
    Try and see what happens to you then!
[19:00] Gu
    The unknown?
[19:02] Gu
    Yeah, I'll show it to you.
[19:04] Gu
    But that will be your end, Reinhard!
[19:15] Gu
    Splendid.
[19:17] Gu
    Splendid, indeed.
[19:20] Gu
    Well done.
[19:22] Gu
    Your education is paying off too well, Karl.
[19:26] Gu
    But while the process is on track,
[19:29] Gu
    this is upsetting.
[19:31] Gu
    His risking his life is known.
    It is pointless.
[19:34] Gu
    No, I suppose I shall accept
    it as a path to the gospel.
[19:39] Gu
    The ending is near.
[19:41] Gu
    Take her.
[19:45] Gu
    Farewell, for now.
[19:48] Gu
    You will not run.
[19:49] Gu
    You vowed you would defeat me.
[19:52] Gu
    The final battle will be then.
[19:55] Gu
    I promise my legion and I shall battle you.
[20:06] R
    He's gone?
[20:12] R
    Man, I sure talked a big game.
[20:15] R
    What do I do now?
[20:17] R
    But...
[20:20] R
    Welcome back, Marie.
[20:26] Gi
    Huh?
[20:28] Gi
    What was I doing?
[20:30] Gi
    He struck me here...
[20:39] Gi
    No! Don't look!
[20:43] Gi
    I'm so embarrassed, dummy.
[20:45] F
    Dummy... No, wait.
[20:48] F
    You've never worried about
    that before, right?
[20:52] Gi
    No! I don't understand!
[20:55] Gi
    You're too close, Ren. Go away.
[20:59] F
    What?
