[00:13] ---
    The boy was alone.
[00:15] ---
    He was born in Terrastia,
    but with no one to raise him,
[00:20] ---
    he felt he just existed,
    all alone in a big world.
[00:26] ---
    Only sadness lingered in the boy's world.
[00:36] ---
    Will this door take me elsewhere?
[00:47] ---
    The boy was abandoned.
[00:50] ---
    He entered the beautiful
    world called Celestia,
[00:55] ---
    but it did not lift the boy's heart.
[01:00] ---
    Even the bright blue sky
    and the shining sunlight
[01:04] ---
    seemed like an illusion in the boy's eyes.
[01:11] ---
    Until, one day, he saw another boy's smile.
[01:19] ---
    Um, where am I?
[01:22] ---
    Huh?
[01:25] ---
    This is Celestia, the outskirts
    of the Holy Night Town.
[01:28] ---
    Celestia?
[01:30] ---
    Wait, are you a human?
[01:35] ---
    Today is the once-a-year Christmas
    in Terrastia, isn't it? What are you doing?
[01:41] ---
    I don't know.
[01:43] ---
    Were you abandoned?
[01:49] ---
    You must've lost something important.
[01:51] ---
    Can't I get it back?
[01:56] ---
    How would I know?
[02:03] ---
    But I can give you a present.
[02:08] ---
    Like I said, today is Christmas.
[02:11] ---
    Who are you?
[02:12] ---
    I'm, uh, well, um, Santa Clause.
[02:18] ---
    Santa?
[02:19] ---
    That's right.
[02:20] ---
    It may be just once a year, but I'm a
    great guy that makes the world happy.
[02:25] ---
    Are you really Santa?
[02:27] ---
    Then I'll show you proof.
    Okay, let's go then.
[02:30] ---
    Go where?
[02:32] ---
    Where else? To my house.
[02:35] ---
    A present for you, from Santa.
[02:39] ---
    I'll give you a new start!
[02:44] ---
    There you go!
[02:48] ---
    Thanks.
[02:49] ---
    Ah, I finally found you!
    I've been looking for you!
[02:55] ---
    Who's he?
[02:56] ---
    Lisa! He's my best friend, starting today!
[03:03] ---
    Oh, that's wonderful.
[03:08] ---
    Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[03:10] ---
    I'm going to open the gate.
[03:13] ---
    Living up to the forgotten ideals,
[03:15] ---
    you put on a grin.
    That's what I want to see.
[03:28] ---
    Lately, my vision is pretty blurry,
    and I'm repeating my same old routine.
[03:33] ---
    I learned a line that's out of my character,
    but I can't say it out loud.
[03:38] ---
    Being asked "How are ya doing?"
    makes me feel weird.
[03:43] ---
    But I've been acting tough for a
    while, so I guess it's OK.
[03:48] ---
    The real me behind my masks
    says with a tearful face:
[03:53] ---
    "I want you to thrill
    my untainted self some more."
[03:59] ---
    Hey, let me borrow that heart.
[04:01] ---
    I'm going to open the gate.
[04:04] ---
    Basically, I am that forgotten ideal.
[04:09] ---
    Hey, move those eyes!
[04:11] ---
    If the gate is opened,
[04:14] ---
    someone will laugh at that
    which they've never seen before.
[04:19] ---
    Even the cliché dreams,
[04:21] ---
    and myself crying beyond them...
[04:24] ---
    I want to sing about them!
[04:39] ---
    "More Important Than Yourself"
[04:39] ---
    "More Important Than Yourself"
    When the Divine Gate previously opened,
[04:41] ---
    When the Divine Gate previously opened,
[04:42] ---
    it merged the three worlds together,
[04:45] ---
    bringing chaos to all the worlds.
[04:49] ---
    This happened because everyone only cared
    about their world and themselves.
[04:56] ---
    But what can you do about it, Arthur?
[05:01] ---
    I will do what I must,
[05:03] ---
    to prevent a tragedy like
    Blue Christmas from happening again.
[05:08] ---
    What will you do if you can't?
[05:12] ---
    Is that what the Academy is for?
[05:15] ---
    I've gathered Adapters with great potential.
[05:19] ---
    I will reach the Divine Gate
    with this expedition.
[05:25] ---
    You are certainly obsessed with the Divine Gate.
[05:31] ---
    Either way, we won't rob you of
    your right to have a dream.
[05:35] ---
    That's a right that all living things have.
[05:40] ---
    Arthur's going to make his move.
    Oh, I can't wait.
[05:45] ---
    What exactly is going on
    in Arthur's mind? And you too, Loki.
[05:51] ---
    What am I thinking?
    Something entertaining, of course.
[05:58] ---
    What else would it be?
[06:03] ---
    Laugh if you want.
[06:06] ---
    I'm in love with this world.
[06:14] ---
    That's great. I like how you said that.
[06:18] ---
    I think I'm gonna fall in love with you, Arthur.
[06:21] ---
    Stop making fun of him every time.
[06:23] ---
    So, what did you want to talk about?
[06:32] ---
    You and I are heading to the Divine Gate.
[06:36] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[06:38] ---
    Seems now's not the time to worry about
    what soup to make tonight.
[06:42] ---
    Are you serious?
[06:44] ---
    Yes, he is. He has that smile.
[06:47] ---
    There's no stopping him
    when he's like this.
[06:50] ---
    It doesn't matter if he's serious or not.
[06:54] ---
    Then what's the problem?
[06:56] ---
    I wonder what.
[06:58] ---
    If you're going, so shall I.
    That's all there is to it.
[07:02] ---
    But let me ask one thing.
[07:04] ---
    What are you going to do
    when you reach the Divine Gate?
[07:13] ---
    I'm going to return the world
    to its correct state.
[07:21] ---
    Its correct state?
[07:23] ---
    Those who go through the Divine Gate
[07:27] ---
    receive the power to rebuild,
    to remake the world.
[07:33] ---
    So you're going to use that power to...
[07:37] ---
    Yes, I will do what I must.
[07:40] ---
    That's why I've gathered
    the people I trust.
[07:44] ---
    As long as I'm taking on a king's name,
    I will claim the holy Divine Gate.
[07:54] ---
    I am the holy king!
[07:58] ---
    It'll be a rough journey. I want you
    to entrust me with your lives.
[08:03] ---
    Yes, Your Highness!
[08:12] ---
    First place!
[08:16] ---
    You lost again?
[08:19] ---
    Oh, Breunor!
[08:20] ---
    That's Sir Breunor!
    Anyway, Arthur wants to talk.
[08:26] ---
    Oh, I wonder what it's about.
[08:29] ---
    Ask him yourself.
[08:31] ---
    But...
[08:35] ---
    We are going to claim the Divine Gate.
[08:37] ---
    When we do, I'm sure your wishes
    will be handled as well.
[08:42] ---
    What?
[08:43] ---
    Are we going to the Divine Gate?!
[08:45] ---
    Yeah.
[08:46] ---
    What about us?!
[08:48] ---
    I told you. Ask him yourself.
    I said what I needed.
[08:54] ---
    I wonder if he can take us with him.
[08:57] ---
    Who knows?
[08:59] ---
    What do you think, Aoto?
[09:01] ---
    I think that's up to us.
[09:06] ---
    Huh?
[09:09] ---
    That's why we're here.
[09:14] ---
    You're right. Let's go see Arthur!
[09:18] ---
    Okay, we can talk after that! Let's go.
[09:22] ---
    Have you decided on your wish?
[09:26] ---
    Do you believe that your wish will come true?
[09:30] ---
    It's not that I believe it, but it's
    better than not doing anything.
[09:35] ---
    You've changed. You're facing forward.
[09:39] ---
    But where you're going,
    pain might be waiting for you again.
[09:45] ---
    I'm used to the pain.
[09:48] ---
    Is it the past you want to change?
    Or the future?
[10:05] ---
    I like empty fish tanks.
[10:07] ---
    Why is that?
[10:10] ---
    It's exciting to think about
    what to put in there.
[10:14] ---
    Hmm, now that you mention it,
    I'm getting excited, too!
[10:19] ---
    I'd rather see lots of different
    fishes swimming around freely.
[10:25] ---
    I see. And you, Aoto?
[10:36] ---
    It reminds me of my house.
[10:39] ---
    I see.
[10:40] ---
    --House? Why your house?
    --Huh?
[10:46] ---
    Various opinions exist in this world.
[10:49] ---
    That means that the world
    will never be truly unanimous.
[10:57] ---
    Akane, Midori, Aoto. I'm going to head for
    the Divine Gate. Would you come with me?
[11:06] ---
    You mean we can go with you?
[11:09] ---
    Yes, of course. Aside from you three,
    the members of the Knights of Round
[11:15] ---
    and Ginji, Hikari, and Yukari
    from the Academy will join me.
[11:20] ---
    But we don't know for sure
    if we'll get there or not, right?
[11:24] ---
    You'll never get there
    if you think like that.
[11:28] ---
    We will get there. Only those who
    believe that can go beyond the Gate.
[11:34] ---
    What if you're unsure if you should
    get there? If you should move forward?
[11:40] ---
    Just like rain will not fall forever,
    the doubts you have will clear.
[11:44] ---
    I only have one wish:
    to claim the Divine Gate. That's all.
[11:50] ---
    This is outrageous!
[11:53] ---
    What's the issue? The more help,
    the better if you want to reach the Gate.
[12:00] ---
    And his attitude... Exactly how
    is he going to remake the world?
[12:04] ---
    Remaking the world that
    Arthur has in mind, huh?
[12:08] ---
    However, apparently no one
    taught Arthur how to lie.
[12:13] ---
    Lie? What do you mean?
[12:17] ---
    If you can't trust Arthur,
    just do what you would like. Right?
[12:23] ---
    Of course! That's what I will do! Excuse me.
[12:32] ---
    Oh, I'm so excited, Arthur.
[12:37] ---
    You've captivated me since the day we met.
[12:44] ---
    What are you doing?
[12:47] ---
    Who are you?
[12:52] ---
    I'm a god.
[12:54] ---
    A god? Can gods do anything?
[12:59] ---
    Yes, I suppose we can do anything.
[13:03] ---
    You must be very powerful.
[13:05] ---
    Would you like to be a god?
[13:13] ---
    No, I want to be a king
    of this world if I can.
[13:22] ---
    A king?
[13:24] ---
    Yeah! We probably have wars
    in this world because we have a bad king.
[13:29] ---
    So I want to become a king
    and bring peace to this world!
[13:34] ---
    Then, my best friend
    can make everyone happy!
[13:38] ---
    Then I will do things that make you happy.
[13:42] ---
    Huh?
[13:43] ---
    Just like a king is there for the people,
    a god must be there for the king.
[13:51] ---
    Thanks!
[13:53] ---
    Now, let us start.
[13:57] ---
    Everyone, it's finally here!
[14:02] ---
    It is time for the Twilight Judgment!
[14:09] ---
    Scandinavian gods, turn us dragons
    into blades, and we give ourselves to you.
[14:18] ---
    In times when the weak are oppressed,
    please protect them with this blade!
[14:41] ---
    So, what now?
[14:44] ---
    By "what now," you mean whether
    to head to the Divine Gate or not?
[14:48] ---
    Yeah.
[14:49] ---
    I'm going for sure!
    Akane, Aoto, you're not on board?
[14:54] ---
    He said...
[14:56] ---
    I'm going to return the world to
    its correct state and become a king.
[15:02] ---
    Is that the reason why you want
    to claim the Divine Gate?
[15:05] ---
    A king? Are you serious?
[15:08] ---
    Yes, I will govern the world.
[15:11] ---
    When I do, my friend will bring
    happiness to people worldwide.
[15:16] ---
    Your friend?
[15:19] ---
    His name is Santa Clause. Once a year,
    he brings happiness to the world.
[15:26] ---
    I know Santa! So he's your friend?!
[15:31] ---
    Come on, don't make it
    sound like Santa really exists!
[15:35] ---
    It's hard to believe, but he does exist.
    Just like the Divine Gate.
[15:42] ---
    That's why I'm going to claim it.
[15:45] ---
    Will the wish really come true?
[15:49] ---
    Well, what happens if I get
    to the Divine Gate first?
[15:54] ---
    Everyone has their own wishes, right?
[15:56] ---
    I wonder if only the wish of
    the first one there comes true?
[15:59] ---
    That's not the case.
[16:01] ---
    The Divine Gate grants the wishes
    of everyone who reaches the Gate.
[16:06] ---
    Which is why the world
    falls into chaos as well.
[16:09] ---
    That's right.
[16:10] ---
    There are as many wishes
    as there are humans, bon.
[16:15] ---
    Either way, we head to the Gate
    with a wish, right?
[16:18] ---
    Of course!
[16:20] ---
    I'm guessing you'll also go?
[16:22] ---
    Yeah, there's something I have to find out.
[16:27] ---
    How about you, Aoto?
[16:29] ---
    There's no going back now.
[16:31] ---
    Then let's go see Arthur.
[16:40] ---
    Pitter, patter, the rain starts to drop,
    covering the world with dew.
[16:46] ---
    As if to cover up each
    individual's secret wishes.
[16:52] ---
    But the world is full of wishes.
[16:56] ---
    Wishes called lust.
[16:59] ---
    I'd like to introduce some guys to everyone
    going on the Divine Gate expedition.
[17:11] ---
    How do you do? I am Oz.
[17:15] ---
    I have descended from Dragtia.
    Pleased to make your acquaintance.
[17:19] ---
    I'm Loki. I came from Ragnatia.
[17:22] ---
    I would love to watch
    what you all will accomplish.
[17:27] ---
    If you're from Ragnatia,
    you're a god, right?
[17:31] ---
    I'm surprised you're so friendly.
[17:34] ---
    God is always right beside you.
[17:38] ---
    I don't know much about Dragtia,
    but you're not dragon-like at all.
[17:44] ---
    I, too, do not know much about humans,
    though I am interested.
[17:50] ---
    He's a really suspicious guy.
[18:00] ---
    I understand what you're trying to say.
[18:03] ---
    Thank you, Ginji.
[18:10] ---
    The rain stops, much like how
    people get hope at times.
[18:16] ---
    However, the rain will
    eventually fall once again,
[18:20] ---
    and the heart will cloud.
[18:23] ---
    Even though people know this,
    they end up hoping again.
[18:27] ---
    As if they have forgotten their pain.
[18:34] ---
    I'm coming.
[18:42] ---
    Why are you quiet, bon?
[18:45] ---
    Why can't I be quiet?
[18:46] ---
    Get mad if something's
    bothering you, bon!
[18:50] ---
    That's much more like you, bon!
[18:52] ---
    Shut up. There's so many
    things I don't understand,
[18:56] ---
    that I don't know what to be upset about.
[18:59] ---
    But I absolutely have
    to find out about my dad.
[19:05] ---
    You like the shadow -- to quietly
    hide in it, holding your breath.
[19:09] ---
    Because you wish to be
    as invisible as you can be.
[19:13] ---
    But now, you wish to decide
    what you should do.
[19:18] ---
    Yeah, I've stopped letting what will be, be.
[19:22] ---
    Nothing good comes out of it.
    I just end up hating myself more.
[19:28] ---
    There you are, Aoto.
[19:32] ---
    What's going on, Undine?
[19:34] ---
    Wow! You finally said my name!
[19:37] ---
    I guess you're right.
[19:39] ---
    I think that's how it happens.
    When one opens up to another.
[19:44] ---
    Have I opened up to you, Undine?
[19:48] ---
    Yeah, that's what it felt like!
[19:52] ---
    I'm glad. I feel like
    I can do anything for you!
[19:57] ---
    So, what's going on?
[19:59] ---
    Ah! Arthur was calling for you.
    He wants to see you alone.
[20:13] ---
    I lied to you.
[20:17] ---
    I said that I liked empty fish tanks.
[20:20] ---
    You don't really like them?
[20:23] ---
    I know how scary it is to
    lose something. Just like you.
[20:29] ---
    That's why I always prepare
    myself to lose something.
[20:35] ---
    I want to turn the world back to when
    Santa was able to give everyone happiness.
[20:39] ---
    He gave me a new start when I
    lost everything, so I want to repay him.
[20:47] ---
    Your wish seems like a wish for yourself,
    but it isn't a wish for yourself.
[20:54] ---
    Doesn't the same go for you?
[20:57] ---
    You're sacrificing yourself in order
    to protect something important.
[21:05] ---
    You've been protecting your
    little brother by being his scapegoat.
[21:12] ---
    People become stronger when they have
    something more important than themselves.
[21:18] ---
    That's probably our alter ego.
[22:55] ---
    This is your fault, Arthur.
[22:59] ---
    What's going on?! Are they seriously gods?!
[23:02] ---
    I'm sorry, Daddy. My treasure you gave me broke.
[23:07] ---
    "Where It Began"
    I'm sorry, Daddy. My treasure you gave me broke.
[23:10] ---
    "Where It Began"
