[00:10] ---
    It seems your friends are
    coming to your rescue.
[00:13] ---
    Don't get too comfortable, Loki.
[00:15] ---
    You don't know if things will go as planned.
[00:19] ---
    It's fine! Soon, I'll be showing
    you the greatest tragedy.
[00:25] ---
    Hope you're looking forward to it.
[00:27] ---
    Santa's not an easy person
    to take control of.
[00:30] ---
    True, but how well can he fight against gods?
[00:36] ---
    Gods?
[00:37] ---
    Did you forget already?
[00:39] ---
    The gods that Oz called for are still here.
[00:44] ---
    The Scandinavian gods.
[00:47] ---
    Right, the ones that killed your
    beloved Knights of Round.
[00:53] ---
    Ah, I can't wait to see how the world that
    your friend brings happiness to will change.
[01:03] ---
    Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[01:05] ---
    I'm going to open the gate.
[01:08] ---
    Living up to the forgotten ideals,
[01:10] ---
    you put on a grin.
    That's what I want to see.

[01:23] ---
    Lately, my vision is pretty blurry,
    and I'm repeating my same old routine.

[01:28] ---
    I learned a line that's out of my character,
    but I can't say it out loud.

[01:33] ---
    Being asked "How are ya doing?"
    makes me feel weird.

[01:38] ---
    But I've been acting tough for a
    while, so I guess it's OK.

[01:43] ---
    The real me behind my masks
    says with a tearful face:

[01:48] ---
    "I want you to thrill
    my untainted self some more."

[01:54] ---
    Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[01:56] ---
    I'm going to open the gate.
[01:59] ---
    Basically, I am that forgotten ideal.
[02:04] ---
    Hey, move those eyes!
[02:06] ---
    If the gate is opened,
[02:09] ---
    someone will laugh at that
    which they've never seen before.

[02:14] ---
    Even the cliché dreams,
[02:16] ---
    and myself crying beyond them...
[02:19] ---
    I want to sing about them!
[02:33] ---
    "The Key to the Gate"
[02:38] ---
    Is this...?
[02:46] ---
    It's you.
[02:48] ---
    You're awake. Do you know where this is?
[02:54] ---
    A place leading to the Divine Gate.
[02:56] ---
    Yes. Although, from the outside,
    it looks like a tower.
[03:02] ---
    Now, let's go. The Scandinavian gods
    will find us if we stay here.
[03:08] ---
    Where's everybody else?
[03:11] ---
    Jeez, just when I thought the
    weird play was over. Now what?
[03:16] ---
    What's going on?
[03:19] ---
    Midori! Aoto! Is anybody here?!
[03:26] ---
    Anybody?!
[03:37] ---
    Crap!
[03:43] ---
    Seriously?!
[03:50] ---
    I wonder where everyone went.
[03:55] ---
    An explosion?! Is someone fighting?!
[04:06] ---
    What?
[04:09] ---
    Midori...
[04:16] ---
    Dammit.
[04:30] ---
    I'm disappointed in you, Akane.
[04:35] ---
    It's just a machine, and look at you.
[04:39] ---
    You again, you fake bastard!
[04:42] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[04:48] ---
    I might have been away
    for a bit, but fake?
[04:53] ---
    Well, watch this then.
[04:56] ---
    One, two...
[05:10] ---
    How's that, Akane?
[05:19] ---
    They're in here.
[05:21] ---
    Yeah, I sense it, too.
[05:24] ---
    There's no mistake about it!
[05:27] ---
    What was that?
[05:28] ---
    Something is going on.
[05:30] ---
    We need to find them quickly!
[05:37] ---
    Good, you're okay!
[05:41] ---
    Stay right there! You're
    another fake, aren't you?!
[05:44] ---
    You won't fool me twice!
[05:47] ---
    What are you talking about?
[05:49] ---
    If you don't cut it out, you're
    really gonna make me mad!
[05:53] ---
    Midori... I see. I guess you won't
    get it until we have a real fight.
[06:12] ---
    I won't let you get away if you're fake.
[06:15] ---
    I don't intend on fighting my own son.
[06:20] ---
    Huh? If you're real, then show me proof!
[06:24] ---
    Well, when you were born, you came out
    bottom first and weren't breathing.
[06:29] ---
    But it was your mom that insisted
    on a natural birth in this age.
[06:35] ---
    Although, once I smacked
    your butt, you started crying.
[06:40] ---
    I've never told anyone about that.
[06:46] ---
    I put your mom and you through hard times.
[06:49] ---
    Dad...
[06:52] ---
    Akane, go back.
[06:56] ---
    It's not too late. I'll talk
    to the Council as well.
[07:01] ---
    H-Hold on! What do you mean the Council?!
[07:06] ---
    Arthur and the Knights
    of Round were killed by--
[07:10] ---
    I know. I played a part in that as well.
[07:17] ---
    It couldn't be helped. This world
    changed because of the Divine Gate.
[07:24] ---
    Many lives were taken away
    because of this Gate, this disaster.
[07:28] ---
    But now, people can't maintain the balance
    without the Divine Gate anymore.
[07:37] ---
    That's why we researched the
    Divine Gate to understand it.
[07:42] ---
    Those Drivers you use,
    this subspace we call "zones,"
[07:46] ---
    these autonomous Drivers-- They're all
    by-products of the Divine Gate research.
[07:55] ---
    What do you mean, it couldn't be helped?
[07:58] ---
    You'd kill someone because
    it couldn't be helped?
[08:02] ---
    We can't allow the Gate to be destroyed.
[08:07] ---
    With minimum casualties, a greater
    number of people were saved.
[08:11] ---
    There's no need for you
    to become a casualty--
[08:13] ---
    Shut up. Shut up...
    We're already a casualty!
[08:21] ---
    Mom always said that
    my dad was a great man.
[08:27] ---
    Hey, why isn't Dad coming back?
[08:31] ---
    Does he hate us?
[08:35] ---
    You're too little to understand,
    but your father is fighting for us.
[08:43] ---
    Yes, it's for us.
[08:56] ---
    But what's this?! Screw the greater good
    if you have to sacrifice someone's life!
[09:03] ---
    I'm not leaving! I'll go to the
    Gate and change this world!
[09:08] ---
    I reject you with all
    my strength and heart!
[09:15] ---
    Is that so?! Then give it all you got!
[09:20] ---
    Let's see what a snot-nosed kid's got!
[09:25] ---
    This is getting interesting.
[09:29] ---
    It's as if their intertwined fate
    is unravelling before the Gate.
[09:34] ---
    But the Scandinavian gods will
    stand in their way as well.
[09:39] ---
    Yes, I'm sure.
[09:41] ---
    If that's the case,
    your plan will be spoiled.
[09:47] ---
    You plan to redo everything from scratch
    by having them open the Divine Gate.
[09:55] ---
    That's right, but not
    everything is in place yet.
[10:00] ---
    They may be Adapters, but they can't
    reach the Gate without the key.
[10:05] ---
    Right now, only one holds the key.
[10:09] ---
    The other two need despair
    to obtain the key.
[10:17] ---
    Despair?
[10:20] ---
    Besides, you've got it all wrong.
[10:23] ---
    My plan is to make you
    the king of this world.
[10:30] ---
    Such gibberish.
[10:37] ---
    Ginji, you knew that Akane, Aoto,
    and Midori were alive, didn't you?
[10:48] ---
    Don't get so tense.
    We're not going to blame you.
[10:52] ---
    This was all Loki's doing, correct?
[10:57] ---
    We no longer trust Loki.
[11:01] ---
    And Oz is useless.
[11:04] ---
    So, what do you want me to do?
[11:08] ---
    I'll be direct. Celestia and
    Hellistia are both on the move
[11:13] ---
    due to Arthur's selfish actions.
[11:17] ---
    Like it or not, you are an
    important figure to the Council.
[11:24] ---
    I don't understand. What do you mean?
[11:28] ---
    Don't you know?
[11:30] ---
    You are the only human in the Council
    that can get to the Divine Gate.
[11:36] ---
    The only one?
[11:38] ---
    It seems your friends were important
    figures for Celestia and Hellistia.
[11:46] ---
    Hikari and Yukari?!
[11:50] ---
    W-Who are you?
[11:53] ---
    We've come for you, Princess.
[11:57] ---
    Princess?! Me?!
[12:08] ---
    You're from Hellistia, aren't you?
[12:11] ---
    Would you understand if
    I told you we seek you?
[12:18] ---
    I see. So myself on that day
    can be found there.
[12:35] ---
    That's a pretty roundabout way to go.
[12:38] ---
    I agree. I didn't want to
    do such a thing either.
[12:41] ---
    It's because of your little trick.
[12:44] ---
    Oh, so you know about it.
[12:47] ---
    Arthur, I put a curse on you to make mine.
[12:52] ---
    But I'm surprised that
    you're able to resist me.
[12:56] ---
    You of all people have something
    that isn't going your way?
[13:01] ---
    I do, Arthur. No, the one in this room
    is only a part of your heart.
[13:08] ---
    Where in the world did you
    hide your true heart?
[13:30] ---
    So this is...
[13:31] ---
    I finally found you.
[13:36] ---
    I hope you can entertain me a little.
[13:40] ---
    I really don't have time for that!
[13:46] ---
    What's the big idea?
[13:52] ---
    He's gone?
[13:54] ---
    Dorothy, I just can't take it anymore!
[13:57] ---
    We're going to search for
    the kids at the Academ--
[14:04] ---
    Dorothy?
[14:14] ---
    I won't let you tarnish my memories anymore!
[14:18] ---
    Your memories?
[14:20] ---
    Elena is my one and only best friend!
[14:27] ---
    You really were thinking of me
    all this time. Thanks, Midori.
[14:38] ---
    Are you really Elena?
[14:43] ---
    I've been telling you so from the beginning!
[14:47] ---
    Can it be? I've been wanting
    to apologize to you--
[14:53] ---
    You can stop that.
[14:55] ---
    What?
[14:57] ---
    It's been a long time since that day,
[15:00] ---
    and I'm not the same person I was.
[15:03] ---
    I have comrades now, and a place I belong.
[15:07] ---
    Your place?
[15:08] ---
    Yeah, so don't worry about it.
[15:10] ---
    But I've been--
[15:14] ---
    You're the one that said it's heavy.
[15:20] ---
    "I'm sorry, that's a bit too heavy."
[15:25] ---
    Besides, I have a new name.
[15:28] ---
    I'm called Dorothy now.
    Everyone calls me by that name.
[15:33] ---
    I'm not Elena anymore.
[15:35] ---
    No, Elena!
[15:37] ---
    So just forget about
    what happened that day.
[15:45] ---
    And quit risking yourself.
    That's all I wanted to tell you.
[15:50] ---
    Oops, sorry! I came here behind
    Oz's back, so I gotta go back.
[15:55] ---
    Elena...
[15:59] ---
    Found you.
[16:02] ---
    A Scandinavian god?!
[16:07] ---
    Looks like we'll get there
    without being spotted.
[16:10] ---
    Where are Akane and Midori?
[16:11] ---
    It's fine. Once they know
    despair, they'll reach it.
[16:15] ---
    What do you mean?
[16:17] ---
    Aoto!
[16:19] ---
    Undine!
[16:22] ---
    I finally found you! Oh.
[16:25] ---
    Huh?
[16:27] ---
    I knew you could see me.
[16:30] ---
    Yes, I always saw you.
[16:40] ---
    Humans are so fragile.
[16:45] ---
    Elena, this doesn't concern you, so leave.
[16:48] ---
    Huh?
[16:49] ---
    This is my test! Don't worry,
    we can talk more later.
[16:54] ---
    Hey, Midori!
[17:00] ---
    Can you keep up with me? I'm pretty
    confident when it comes to running!
[17:06] ---
    Talking smack?
[17:08] ---
    Fine, I'll play your game!
[17:14] ---
    Is that all you got?!
[17:17] ---
    Shut up!
[17:28] ---
    Akane, don't move!
[17:30] ---
    Huh?
[17:36] ---
    A Scandinavian god?!
[17:38] ---
    Gods from the outlying region,
    huh? Must be bored.
[17:42] ---
    Will you fall prey to my sword,
    Laevateinn, first?
[17:48] ---
    Akane, this is how you use machines.
[17:55] ---
    Huh, what?
[17:56] ---
    What are you doing, Dad?!
[17:59] ---
    Akane!
[18:01] ---
    You move forward to the
    path you think is right!
[18:06] ---
    No...
[18:11] ---
    I'll be handling you.
[18:13] ---
    I see, so you'll be dying first.
[18:17] ---
    Don't take us humans lightly!
[18:24] ---
    Oh?
[18:30] ---
    I wonder how long you can dodge?
[19:01] ---
    I told you,
[19:03] ---
    don't take us humans lightly.
[19:07] ---
    Akane, take care of your mom.
[19:28] ---
    There's nowhere to go now.
[19:31] ---
    I'll make your death quick and painless!
[19:42] ---
    E-Elena! Why?!
[19:46] ---
    I'm not sure either...
[19:54] ---
    Elena!
[19:58] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:06] ---
    Why?! Don't just go dying!
[20:11] ---
    We were waiting for you to come back! Dad...
[20:17] ---
    Dad...
[20:30] ---
    Dorothy...
[20:37] ---
    Why, Elena?
[20:39] ---
    We finally met...
[20:42] ---
    There were so many things I
    wanted to talk about... Why?
[20:55] ---
    Looks like they've obtained the key, too.
[20:59] ---
    Now, it's just the boy
    that already has the key.
[21:16] ---
    Long time no see. I've been
    waiting for you, big brother.
[22:54] ---
    How does it feel to live, falsely
    accused, as your little brother?
[22:58] ---
    Brother, you're a hypocrite.
[23:00] ---
    It was you that made me twisted!
[23:03] ---
    I threw away that self. I don't need it!
[23:05] ---
    Brother, let's be free together.
[23:06] ---
    "Your Name..."
    Brother, let's be free together.
