**[00:02] ---**
Today is the once-a-year Christmas
in Terrastia, isn't it? What are you doing?
**[00:08] ---**
I don't know.
**[00:12] ---**
You must've lost something important.
**[00:14] ---**
Can't I get it back?
**[00:19] ---**
How would I know?
**[00:21] ---**
But I can give you a present.
**[00:26] ---**
The line that was blurted out of his mouth
caused the boy to believe in fate...
**[00:31] ---**
To believe in why he was born
a son of Santa Clause.
**[00:36] ---**
Like I said, today is Christmas.
**[00:43] ---**
I'll give you a new start!
**[00:48] ---**
Arthur, although I said that,
**[00:52] ---**
it was you that gave me a new start.
**[00:59] ---**
That's why I want to bring happiness
to the world you protect.
**[01:05] ---**
I *will* get you back...
**[01:09] ---**
...Arthur!
**[01:13] ---**
*Hey, let me borrow that heart.*
**[01:15] ---**
*I'm going to open the gate.*
**[01:18] ---**
*Living up to the forgotten ideals,*
**[01:20] ---**
*you put on a grin.
That's what I want to see.*
**[01:33] ---**
*Lately, my vision is pretty blurry,
and I'm repeating my same old routine.*
**[01:38] ---**
*I learned a line that's out of my character,
but I can't say it out loud.*
**[01:43] ---**
*Being asked "How are ya doing?"
makes me feel weird.*
**[01:48] ---**
*But I've been acting tough for a
while, so I guess it's OK.*
**[01:53] ---**
*The real me behind my masks
says with a tearful face:*
**[01:58] ---**
*"I want you to thrill
my untainted self some more."*
**[02:04] ---**
*Hey, let me borrow that heart.*
**[02:06] ---**
*I'm going to open the gate.*
**[02:09] ---**
*Basically, I am that forgotten ideal.*
**[02:14] ---**
*Hey, move those eyes!*
**[02:16] ---**
*If the gate is opened,*
**[02:19] ---**
*someone will laugh at that
which they've never seen before.*
**[02:24] ---**
*Even the cliché dreams,*
**[02:26] ---**
*and myself crying beyond them...*
**[02:29] ---**
*I want to sing about them!*
**[02:43] ---**
"Beyond the Gate"
**[02:47] ---**
Now, let's go beyond the
holy gate, the Divine Gate.
**[02:56] ---**
Let's go. That's what we came here for.
**[02:59] ---**
Midori?
**[03:00] ---**
Yeah, I want to see Elena again.
I want to go back to being her best friend.
**[03:07] ---**
Akane, you want to see your
father again too, don't you?
**[03:11] ---**
Yeah. And Aoto, you want to start
fresh with your brother, right?
**[03:23] ---**
The kids reached the Divine Gate.
**[03:27] ---**
I never doubted.
**[03:29] ---**
How long are you going
to stay cooped up in here?
**[03:33] ---**
In this white world, all by yourself?
**[03:38] ---**
All by myself, huh?
**[03:41] ---**
Why don't you come out?
Someone's here for you, after all.
**[04:10] ---**
Took me a while to find you!
**[04:15] ---**
Hey, hey. Did you forget me,
*the* Santa Clause?
**[04:19] ---**
Unfortunately, he's no longer
the Arthur you know.
**[04:25] ---**
But he's not yours, either!
**[04:30] ---**
I told you: Come back
any time if you get tired!
**[04:40] ---**
Whose mark is this?
**[04:43] ---**
It's a recommendation letter
from the World Council.
**[04:46] ---**
I see.
**[04:48] ---**
Funny how things work. I had a feeling
this would happen one day.
**[04:54] ---**
When I saw the letter, I thought
it was destined to be delivered.
**[04:58] ---**
I don't know why I thought that.
**[05:02] ---**
Is that the path you choose?
**[05:06] ---**
Yes.
**[05:07] ---**
Then go. But come back
any time if you get tired.
**[05:17] ---**
Look at that tired look on your face.
**[05:21] ---**
He looks relieved to me.
**[05:24] ---**
Arthur actually resented this world.
**[05:29] ---**
This heartless world that left him alone.
**[05:34] ---**
So he should keep resenting it.
He can even retaliate.
**[05:40] ---**
You don't have the right to stop him.
**[05:43] ---**
Even if you *are* Santa Clause.
**[05:50] ---**
If that's what he truly wants!
**[05:56] ---**
This happened because he wanted this.
**[06:01] ---**
Everyone has a dark side and
a light side in their hearts.
**[06:04] ---**
But it's their choice to make!
**[06:07] ---**
You took that freedom away from Arthur!
**[06:11] ---**
That's why I'm taking it back!
**[06:21] ---**
Oh? I thought Santa gave, not took.
**[06:26] ---**
Right back at you! Don't gods
give people heart?!
**[06:34] ---**
How dare they rebel against the Council?
**[06:36] ---**
This is becoming troublesome.
**[06:39] ---**
We have no choice.
Let's send in the fourth boy.
**[06:47] ---**
Yes, gods do give people heart.
**[06:52] ---**
But I gave something better to Arthur.
**[06:56] ---**
Not some pesky thing like a heart,
but an everlasting peace.
**[07:12] ---**
What do you want to do?
**[07:30] ---**
We're finally connected.
**[07:40] ---**
Santa!
**[07:42] ---**
Hey, there. You're finally awake?
**[07:47] ---**
Don't worry, it's not a big deal.
**[07:50] ---**
So this is the world of your
remaining heart? There's nothing.
**[07:58] ---**
I brought this for you.
**[08:04] ---**
You hid most of your heart
in here, didn't you?
**[08:11] ---**
There's no way I'd give it to a god.
**[08:14] ---**
Then there's no need to
worry now. Come home.
**[08:20] ---**
It can't go back to normal.
**[08:23] ---**
Why not?!
**[08:25] ---**
I've already decided. Besides, I...
**[08:30] ---**
This boy...
**[08:32] ---**
To think that the taboo-blood
would continue like this...
**[08:36] ---**
He'll surely bring havoc one day.
**[08:39] ---**
He's an enemy to our world.
**[08:42] ---**
I'll protect the world you bring happiness to!
**[08:49] ---**
You go back without me.
**[09:06] ---**
Is that really the path you wish to go down?
**[09:17] ---**
Let's go watch the remaking
of the world, Arthur.
**[09:23] ---**
Don't worry, you won't need a heart.
You're already my puppet.
**[09:33] ---**
Now, whether you move forward
or not is up to you guys.
**[09:47] ---**
That's funny, are you still unsure?
**[09:52] ---**
No, that's not it!
**[09:54] ---**
Then go on ahead. Will you redo
your past to change your future?
**[10:00] ---**
Or redo your future to change your past?
**[10:08] ---**
You can choose either.
**[10:14] ---**
You guys have the right
to choose your fate.
**[10:27] ---**
I'm going. I'll worry about what
comes later when it comes.
**[10:32] ---**
I'm going, too. I'm not used to standing still.
**[10:36] ---**
Me, too.
**[10:40] ---**
Wait!
**[10:52] ---**
You guys!
**[10:58] ---**
The one that...!
**[11:07] ---**
Dammit.
**[11:09] ---**
They're...
**[11:10] ---**
...pretty beat up!
**[11:12] ---**
They don't even have Drivers.
**[11:15] ---**
Damn you, Oz.
**[11:22] ---**
I got back the power I offered to
the gods. The rest is up to them.
**[11:30] ---**
How dare the lowly humans choose fate?
**[11:33] ---**
The Divine Gate is not
meant for you to use!
**[11:37] ---**
Gods say that every time.
**[11:45] ---**
If I had my Driver, I'd have this kid...
**[11:49] ---**
Why do you not approve of humans?
**[11:54] ---**
The power to change fate is
too big for humans to handle!
**[11:59] ---**
Order will be lost,
bringing chaos to the world!
**[12:03] ---**
Even gods make mistakes, don't they?
**[12:06] ---**
The humans have the right
to choose their fate, but
**[12:10] ---**
the gods take away their
freedom to do that.
**[12:13] ---**
No, we take nothing! We only
provide them with their life!
**[12:19] ---**
Everyone, don't listen to the gods.
You yourself must choose your own fate.
**[12:30] ---**
Now, go away.
**[12:33] ---**
Humans, he is not your ally.
**[12:37] ---**
You're the one that isn't their ally.
Why can't they change their fate?
**[12:45] ---**
These guys are real. Their true
feelings pushed them this far.
**[12:52] ---**
"There is no god in this world."
**[12:55] ---**
You guys must've gone through so
much pain that you think that, right?
**[13:02] ---**
Yes.
**[13:04] ---**
You, too. You've been looking
for your father all this time,
**[13:09] ---**
and as soon as you saw him,
the gods took him away.
**[13:15] ---**
And you. You kept running,
only to get your best friend back.
**[13:24] ---**
Elena...
**[13:27] ---**
Why did the gods...?!
**[13:33] ---**
Don't take us lightly!
**[13:38] ---**
We won't go down!
**[13:40] ---**
I won't lose either!
**[13:46] ---**
That's right.
**[13:47] ---**
Humans aren't that strong,
but they wish from their heart.
**[13:53] ---**
That's why I lend them my hand!
**[13:58] ---**
Damn you, Key Spirit! How dare
you take the humans' side!
**[14:03] ---**
I really hate humans; they're so selfish.
**[14:14] ---**
There's no one in your way now.
**[14:21] ---**
Let's go beyond the Gate!
**[14:26] ---**
Wait.
**[14:33] ---**
Ginji.
**[14:35] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[14:38] ---**
The Divine Gate shouldn't
be used for personal gain!
**[14:43] ---**
How else would you use it?!
**[14:45] ---**
The ruler of the world, the Council,
should use it to rule the world!
**[14:53] ---**
Do you know what will happen if
you guys go through the Gate right now?!
**[14:58] ---**
The Council will disappear,
along with the world's order!
**[15:03] ---**
We aren't going to wish for--
**[15:05] ---**
But that's what'll happen!
**[15:07] ---**
Because you guys don't think
we need the Council.
**[15:13] ---**
True, the world isn't fair.
**[15:17] ---**
No matter how straight you live
your life, it may go unrequited.
**[15:24] ---**
No matter how hard you work
for it, you may not achieve it.
**[15:30] ---**
At the end, only the
chosen ones rule the world.
**[15:34] ---**
But that is exactly why we need them!
**[15:39] ---**
We need the Council to make the
chaotic world *look* like a normal one!
**[15:46] ---**
That's why they're going to change that.
**[15:48] ---**
Yes, the "remake" is not just to grant wishes.
**[15:52] ---**
It can even destroy the
world the gods created.
**[15:56] ---**
You guys can become god-like,
controlling the world as you see fit.
**[16:04] ---**
Does that mean if I get my wish granted,
Aoto and Akane can't get theirs?
**[16:11] ---**
Of course not. Everything will be to
your desire. You can rule the world.
**[16:20] ---**
I didn't think it was that serious.
**[16:26] ---**
It's true, most wishes don't come true.
**[16:31] ---**
That's why I lived my life
giving up on everything.
**[16:36] ---**
But Arthur said:
**[16:40] ---**
People become stronger when they have
something more important than themselves.
**[16:45] ---**
He thought that was our alter ego.
**[16:49] ---**
I've changed after meeting my comrades, too.
**[16:55] ---**
And now I believe that what I want to do
is more important than my wish.
**[17:04] ---**
Huh? What does that mean?
**[17:07] ---**
People won't change even if
we rely on gods' powers.
**[17:11] ---**
We have to change ourselves.
**[17:16] ---**
Yeah, I guess if we become god-like,
we won't know what we're living for.
**[17:23] ---**
I suppose if there's no need
to run, you can't run.
**[17:31] ---**
You guys rebelled against
the Council to come here.
**[17:36] ---**
They will not let that slide.
**[17:40] ---**
Watch out.
**[17:47] ---**
Okay, I'm deciding not to go beyond
the Gate just for my reasons.
**[17:52] ---**
I won't change the world for myself either.
**[17:57] ---**
I won't go beyond the Gate either.
**[18:06] ---**
That's too bad that you all decided that.
**[18:10] ---**
But it can't be helped. You guys are
the ones to choose your own fate.
**[18:18] ---**
You've been by my side all this time,
giving me lots to think about.
**[18:25] ---**
Thank you for everything.
**[18:32] ---**
That's the first time anyone has thanked me.
**[18:48] ---**
I shall offer my greatest tribute of
praise to you poor unfortunate kids.
**[18:55] ---**
Loki, where are you?!
**[19:03] ---**
Loki, what did you do to Arthur?!
**[19:06] ---**
You're a god! What can you possibly want?!
**[19:10] ---**
I just want to watch...
**[19:13] ---**
...the way you humans live,
struggling in agony.
**[19:19] ---**
Why Arthur?!
**[19:21] ---**
Because he is the chosen one.
**[19:34] ---**
Let's go!
**[19:50] ---**
Loki.
**[19:51] ---**
What is it, Arthur?
**[19:53] ---**
No matter what you do, you can't
wipe away hope from this world.
**[19:58] ---**
Is that so? I think you'll find
despair waiting beyond hope.
**[20:06] ---**
That's fine, if that's the path they chose.
**[20:13] ---**
This is an emergency broadcast
from the Council Headquarters.
**[20:16] ---**
The tower in watch collapsed
inside the zone some time today.
**[20:20] ---**
The path to the Divine Gate has disappeared.
**[20:27] ---**
Hey, you guys, are you okay?
**[20:29] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:30] ---**
We're fine, too.
**[20:32] ---**
Yup, bon!
**[20:34] ---**
Where the hell were you?
**[20:37] ---**
Looks like you guys made it.
**[20:44] ---**
Hey.
**[20:45] ---**
Lancelot, you're alive...?
**[20:49] ---**
Unfortunately, I can't die
until I kill him myself.
**[20:53] ---**
Besides, none of the Knights of Round died.
**[20:58] ---**
The greater power saved us.
**[21:00] ---**
You're here to tell us that?
**[21:02] ---**
Yeah. We're going to get him back!
**[21:10] ---**
Pitter, patter, the rain starts to drop.
**[21:13] ---**
While the water may fill up
the holes on the road,
**[21:15] ---**
it will never fill up the hole of one's heart.
**[21:19] ---**
But the children believe
**[21:22] ---**
that the bonded heart will never break...
**[21:25] ---**
That the rain will eventually stop.
