[00:00] ---
    It seems I slightly underrated you, Elfman.
[00:05] ---
    When it comes to tenacity and
    being able to take punishment,
[00:08] ---
    you just may be number one in our guild.
[00:10] ---
    We'll definitely follow the
    lead of your hard-won victory.
[00:14] ---
    I never thought I'd hear Erza
    dish out praise like that.
[00:18] ---
    She wouldn't if he hadn't earned it.
[00:20] ---
    You totally gave me the shivers, Elfman!
[00:22] ---
    Cut it out. You guys sound like
    you're payin' tribute to a dead man.
[00:27] ---
    Ow...
[00:28] ---
    Well, stubbornness always
    has been your saving grace.
[00:32] ---
    That's kind of a sad saving grace...
[00:34] ---
    You're not too different!
[00:37] ---
    But it really was amazing, Elfman-san!
[00:40] ---
    It's pathetic, but I can't do
    anything laid up like this,
[00:43] ---
    so the rest is up to you, Wendy.
[00:45] ---
    Right!
[00:46] ---
    Well, the next match has already begun.
[00:49] ---
    Get going.
[00:51] ---
    One of the keys to victory
    is observing the enemy.
[00:54] ---
    Got it, Granny.
[00:56] ---
    See ya later.
[00:57] ---
    I'm sorry.
[00:59] ---
    To be honest, I'd like
    to stay here with you...
[01:01] ---
    Forget about it. Nee-chan's
    match is up next, remember?
[01:05] ---
    Cheer her on for me.
[01:07] ---
    Relax. The Raijinshuu will protect him.
[01:11] ---
    My runes will prevent
    outsiders from entering.
[01:15] ---
    We won't let this place be attacked again.
[01:18] ---
    Sorry...
[01:21] ---
    You couldn't come up with
    a better fighting strategy?
[01:27] ---
    Anyway, he's injured and needs his sleep.
[01:29] ---
    How 'bout we have Ever sleep with you?
[01:32] ---
    Quit screwin' around!
[03:06] ---
    Still, those Raven Tail jerks play
    dirty right out in the open...
[03:11] ---
    I wonder if their intention is
    to take us out one by one.
[03:14] ---
    I've still got my doubts about what happened.
[03:17] ---
    What is it, Carla?
[03:19] ---
    I already heard the basics...
[03:22] ---
    We assume Raven Tail used a guild of bandits
[03:25] ---
    in an attempt to kidnap Lucy.
[03:27] ---
    But thanks to them screwing up the
    objective and Natsu's pursuit,
[03:32] ---
    the scheme failed twice over.
[03:34] ---
    Doesn't that make sense?
[03:36] ---
    Although we don't know what they
    were planning to do with her...
[03:39] ---
    Don't even go there!
[03:40] ---
    The issue is the method of capture.
[03:43] ---
    One of the members of Raven
    Tail that attacked us
[03:46] ---
    has the power to reduce his opponent's
    magic power to zero for a moment.
[03:50] ---
    Right...
[03:52] ---
    Master suspects
[03:53] ---
    that he's the one who canceled out
    Lucy's magic on the first day.
[03:58] ---
    They've got a wizard whose magic
    would be perfect for a kidnapping,
[04:01] ---
    so why wasn't he part of the operation?
[04:05] ---
    Well, probably because of
     the rules of the battle part,
[04:08] ---
    which require all participants
    to stay close to the arena.
[04:12] ---
    That's because nobody knows who's going to
    be chosen for battle 'til just before, right?
[04:16] ---
    You're overthinking it, Carla.
[04:18] ---
    Yeah.
[04:19] ---
    I know very well that results matter
    much more to them than means.
[04:24] ---
    Well, either way, if we're being
    targeted outside of the arena,
[04:28] ---
    we mustn't let our guards down, and
    try not to be alone at any time.
[04:35] ---
    What really bothers me
[04:38] ---
    is the question of why
    they were after Lucy...
[04:43] ---
    Mirajane versus Jenny!
[04:48] ---
    It's the third match of the second
    day of the Grand Magic Games!
[04:51] ---
    Mirajane Strauss from Fairy Tail B versus
[04:56] ---
    Blue Pegasus reserve member Jenny Rearlight!
[05:01] ---
    I'm back.
[05:02] ---
    Welcome back.
[05:03] ---
    How is Elfman doing?
[05:05] ---
    He's all beat up, but no worries.
[05:08] ---
    So it's a showdown between
    two former models, huh?
[05:10] ---
    Jenny's incredibly popular. I seem
    to recall that seven years ago,
[05:14] ---
    she was voted the "Number One Wizard I Want
    to Be My Girlfriend" in Weekly Sorcerer.
[05:18] ---
    I remember reading she really looked up to
    Mira-nee as a role model and aimed to be like her.
[05:24] ---
    But Mira-nee was asleep for seven years,
[05:27] ---
    so I guess Jenny is the older one now...
[05:30] ---
    Have you recovered?
[05:32] ---
    Carla!
[05:33] ---
    Wendy's okay now, too.
[05:35] ---
    I was told that everyone but the
    participants have to stay in these seats.
[05:40] ---
    I was so worried about you!
[05:41] ---
    Never mind that. The match
    has already started, right?
[05:46] ---
    There's no sense being
    hung up on my dream now.
[05:49] ---
    I've got to cheer our guild on!
[05:53] ---
    Mirajane! Do your best! Uh...
[05:57] ---
    What is this?!
[05:59] ---
    They're...
[06:03] ---
    Master, calm down.
[06:06] ---
    Like this?
[06:11] ---
    How's this?
[06:14] ---
    What the hell's goin' on here?!
[06:17] ---
    Mira-san...
[06:19] ---
    I guess... since they're
    both former pinup models...
[06:24] ---
    ...an irregular rule turned
    it into a cheesecake showdown.
[06:28] ---
    This is despicable.
[06:31] ---
    Like so?
[06:35] ---
    Hi...
[06:39] ---
    They do this kind of thing
    in the battle part too?
[06:42] ---
    I imagine this involves a special rule...
[06:45] ---
    Or at least, I hope so...
[06:48] ---
    Who would've figured we'd have to dip
    into our reserves on the second day...
[06:52] ---
    Couldn't be helped. Not with
    Ichiya-san like that...
[06:55] ---
    A competition that relied on physical
    strength must've really been tough on him.
[06:59] ---
    As expected, pretty impressive.
[07:01] ---
    It's been a while since I've
    done this kind of thing.
[07:04] ---
    I didn't think you'd agree
    to do a pinup idol showdown.
[07:08] ---
    Yeah, well, I'm not too fond of slugfests.
[07:13] ---
    If we can resolve this peacefully,
    all the better, right?
[07:17] ---
    Two former pinup idols!
[07:19] ---
    And both of them using Transformation Magic,
    making this a dream battle come true!
[07:25] ---
    I'm Chapati Rola, a judge
    along with Yajima-san,
[07:28] ---
    and reporter Jason of the Weekly Sorcerer!
[07:32] ---
    It's a big responsibility.
[07:34] ---
    Both of them are cool beauties!
[07:37] ---
    What's the next swimsuit going to be...
[07:38] ---
    Hold it!
[07:40] ---
    It won't do to let these little
    girls get all the attention!
[07:44] ---
    When it comes to strength
    as well as beauty...
[07:47] ---
    ...Mermaid Heel is number one!
[07:50] ---
    Why do I have to be out here?
[07:53] ---
    This is an unforeseen happening!
[07:56] ---
    Mermaid Heel has crashed the battle!
[07:58] ---
    And I'm happy to see that Risley
    is slender for the moment!
[08:01] ---
    Stop right there!
[08:03] ---
    You people don't have enough love!
[08:05] ---
    If you think you can please the crowd just
    by posing in swimsuits, you're gravely mistaken!
[08:10] ---
    It's all about love! Without love...
[08:13] ---
    ...you can't beat us!
[08:15] ---
    And now Sherry and Cheria from
    Lamia Scale have joined the party!
[08:20] ---
    I'm in awe of all of them...
[08:22] ---
    This is no time to just
    sit back and be impressed!
[08:25] ---
    Don't tell me...
[08:26] ---
    ...you want us to get out there, too?!
[08:27] ---
    But I didn't bring a swimsuit...
[08:30] ---
    Don't worry!
[08:32] ---
    I anticipated that
[08:33] ---
    so I came prepared with enough
    swimsuits for everybody!
[08:38] ---
    You think of everything, First Master!
[08:40] ---
    Your keen insight dwarfs our imaginations!
[08:44] ---
    Isn't it more like she just
    came ready to have a good time?
[08:47] ---
    You three can't just sit back and watch either!
[08:50] ---
    Let's all join in!
[08:52] ---
    Why?!
[08:53] ---
    When other people from the cheering section
    take the field, doing nothing is not an option!
[08:59] ---
    Swimsuits look best
[09:01] ---
    on Juvia, the water-manipulating wizard!
[09:04] ---
    What, you're going out there too?
[09:06] ---
    A woman in love has to
    battle at a time like this.
[09:09] ---
    I'm sick of hearin' about it...
[09:16] ---
    I think this has gotten out of hand...
[09:19] ---
    Well, it's not so bad
    as a fun little stunt...
[09:23] ---
    It's chaos here!
[09:26] ---
    And yet, the crowd is eating
    it up, so we'll go with it!
[09:30] ---
    Not to mention we'd have a riot on our
    hands if we put a stop to the fun now!
[09:36] ---
    This is great! So cool!
[09:38] ---
    It's settled!
[09:40] ---
    The next Weekly Sorcerer cover story
    will be a wizard swimsuit competition!
[09:45] ---
    Still and all,
[09:48] ---
    this match is just between
    Mirajane and Jenny!
[09:52] ---
    In that case, there's no
    point in us being out here!
[09:55] ---
    Oh, the main thing is that we have fun!
[09:58] ---
    How is it that a ghost like you
    gets such a kick out of this?
[10:02] ---
    I bet anything her personality
[10:04] ---
    has an effect on the mood of our guild!
[10:10] ---
    What, you're here too?
[10:12] ---
    I won't let your people hog the spotlight.
[10:15] ---
    The next theme is school swimsuits!
[10:18] ---
    Why are we suddenly in weird fetish swimwear?
[10:20] ---
    You don't really look out
    of place in one, Wendy.
[10:22] ---
    That doesn't make me happy!
[10:24] ---
    Next up is bikinis and thigh-high socks!
[10:27] ---
    For some reason, this feels even more
    embarrassing than the swimsuit alone...
[10:30] ---
    Moving on to girls in glasses!
[10:33] ---
    This isn't any change for me...
[10:36] ---
    Cat ears!
[10:37] ---
    Is there any point for me to wear them?
[10:41] ---
    Bondage!
[10:42] ---
    This is also a form of love!
[10:44] ---
    You're too into it!
[10:46] ---
    Well, Erza? Are you about
    ready to admit defeat?
[10:50] ---
    Did you say something?
[10:53] ---
    I lose...
[10:55] ---
    We're gettin' further and
    further into fetish territory!
[10:59] ---
    Yeah... I don't mind...
[11:08] ---
    The next theme is "wedding dress"!
[11:11] ---
    Prepare a partner, then get into bridal gear!
[11:15] ---
    I'm sorry for suddenly dragging
    you into this, Master.
[11:18] ---
    This is all part of the
    job of being master...
[11:22] ---
    Well, you were at hand...
[11:24] ---
    That's actually even more of a turn-on...
[11:28] ---
    I'm Levy's groom!
[11:30] ---
    She already rejected you!
[11:32] ---
    It's the same with you!
[11:36] ---
    You're not paired up with anyone?
[11:38] ---
    This is ridiculous. I'm better
    off just taking a nap.
[11:46] ---
    You guys aren't going out there?
[11:48] ---
    No. If something should happen...
[11:51] ---
    If my wife happened to see me...
[11:54] ---
    I'm the groom for you, right, Carla?
[11:58] ---
    Well, since we are both Exceeds...
[12:01] ---
    Juvia! I'm the only one for you...
[12:04] ---
    Leon-sama! But Juvia is...
[12:08] ---
    Gray-sama!
[12:09] ---
    It's no fun letting a teammate get
    snatched by a jerk from another guild.
[12:13] ---
    Juvia is so happy!
[12:16] ---
    Our love is steadfast!
[12:19] ---
    Don't be so clingy!
[12:21] ---
    You'll make me fall in
    love with you even more...
[12:24] ---
    Who should I...?
[12:27] ---
    Loke!
[12:28] ---
    Let's take this opportunity
[12:30] ---
    and really get married!
[12:33] ---
    Natsu!
[12:37] ---
    You look good in that!
[12:39] ---
    You too, Natsu!
[12:42] ---
    When did this...?!
[12:44] ---
    Come to think of it, when we were
    kids, I imagined that we would get...
[12:54] ---
    Lucy, what are you doing?!
[12:55] ---
    I'm sorry!
[12:57] ---
    Hurry up and get offa me...
[13:00] ---
    The wedding showdown is over!
[13:02] ---
    Let's go back to the swimsuit showdown!
[13:04] ---
    I think it's about time for
    me to put in an appearance!
[13:09] ---
    That's...
[13:11] ---
    Lamia Scale's Oba Babasama
[13:15] ---
    is going to show you
[13:17] ---
    what a woman's charm is!
[13:35] ---
    With that single strike, the excitement
    in this arena went down the drain.
[13:40] ---
    The interlopers suddenly lost interest
    and are returning to their seats.
[13:44] ---
    Cool down...
[13:48] ---
    It looks like playtime is over, huh?
[13:51] ---
    I'm a little disappointed. That was fun...
[13:55] ---
    This match has gone on much longer than
    planned, so the next outfit will be the last!
[14:00] ---
    Here it is!
[14:01] ---
    With apologies to Mira, no
    matter what the theme is,
[14:04] ---
    I've got a trick that guarantees my victory!
[14:09] ---
    Mira, this'll be the last one.
[14:10] ---
    Yep. And I'm not gonna lose!
[14:13] ---
    Why don't we go with the
    flow of the previous matches
[14:15] ---
    and make a bet?
[14:18] ---
    Good idea. What are the stakes?
[14:21] ---
    How about the person who loses
[14:24] ---
    has to appear nude in the Weekly Sorcerer?!
[14:28] ---
    Mira-nee...
[14:30] ---
    For a second, I thought it
    wouldn't be bad if she lost...
[14:34] ---
    I'm sorry. Me too...
[14:37] ---
    Sure, why not?!
[14:39] ---
    O-O-Oh my goodness! An unbelievable
    wager has just been made!
[14:45] ---
    She fell for it.
[14:47] ---
    Between me and Mira,
[14:49] ---
    I don't know which of us has more
    fans out of the people in the stands,
[14:53] ---
    but the key point is those three judges.
[14:53] ---
    Cool-cool-cool-cool-cool!
[14:56] ---
    I coincidentally asked about their type
    of women during last night's dinner party,
[15:02] ---
    and it seems their preference
    is for younger women!
[15:05] ---
    Mira hasn't aged for seven years.
[15:08] ---
    Which means she's young!
[15:10] ---
    And Jason,
[15:12] ---
    I'm sure you'll choose Mira
    to sell more magazines.
[15:15] ---
    After all, a beautiful model comes back
    after seven years without aging and she's nude!
[15:20] ---
    There's nothing to even think about.
[15:23] ---
    T-The final theme... is battle gear!
[15:27] ---
    I'm sorry, Mira. Whatever
    the theme, I'll win.
[15:31] ---
    Just as I planned...
[15:35] ---
    This is my battle form.
[15:39] ---
    Then I'll change into mine.
[15:42] ---
    We went with the flow of
    previous matches and made a bet
[15:45] ---
    so maybe it'll be okay
[15:47] ---
    to keep going with that flow and
    finish this with a little dust-up?
[16:01] ---
    What's that form?!
[16:02] ---
    Mirajane's demonic Sitri form.
[16:05] ---
    From what I know, it's
    her strongest Satan Soul.
[16:10] ---
    I accepted your bet.
[16:12] ---
    Now I want you to accept my power.
[16:16] ---
    What?!
[16:19] ---
    Okay?
[16:33] ---
    A complete change! In the
    end, we got a physical fight!
[16:36] ---
    Well, that is the original rule...
[16:39] ---
    Cool! Cool! Cool!
[16:42] ---
    The winner... Mirajane!
[16:45] ---
    She did it!
[16:46] ---
    That's my Mira-nee!
[16:47] ---
    She did it! She did it! She did it!
    She did it! She did it! She did it!
[16:47] ---
    No matter which won...
[16:49] ---
    ...we're lucky!
[16:50] ---
    We gotta buy the Sorcerer!
[16:53] ---
    That's like the old Mira! Awesome!
[16:55] ---
    I thought this was supposed
    to be a pinup model battle...
[16:58] ---
    It was a pinup model battle.
[17:00] ---
    But I don't think there was
    any "no punching" rule.
[17:05] ---
    I'm trying to wrap my head around that one...
[17:07] ---
    Isn't that how she always is?
[17:10] ---
    Sorry!
[17:11] ---
    I look forward to seeing you
    in your birthday suit, Jenny.
[17:15] ---
    No!!
[17:18] ---
    Fairy Tail B receives ten points!
[17:21] ---
    That was incredible.
[17:22] ---
    Get it?
[17:24] ---
    She's not someone you wanna piss off.
[17:26] ---
    Understood.
[17:28] ---
    Congratulations, Mira-san.
[17:30] ---
    I feel like I wore a lot of immodest outfits.
[17:34] ---
    Although that last one had the most impact...
[17:37] ---
    So now we have 12 points,
    the same as Natsu's team.
[17:43] ---
    What's wrong, Mystogan?
[17:45] ---
    Nothing...
[17:46] ---
    Isn't he supposed to be the silent type?
[17:49] ---
    Oh, that's right...
[17:53] ---
    Even though the second day
    is about to be over...
[17:57] ---
    What does this mean?
[18:03] ---
    Captain Arcadios!
[18:09] ---
    Well, well, Defense Minister Darton...
[18:12] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[18:14] ---
    Doing about what?
[18:15] ---
    Don't feign ignorance!
[18:17] ---
    Why are you trying to get a hold
    of a Celestial Spirit Wizard now?!
[18:21] ---
    Don't you think it's premature?
[18:24] ---
    I want to make a trial
    run as soon as possible.
[18:27] ---
    It's still too early!
[18:29] ---
    It isn't ready yet!
[18:32] ---
    Defense Minister,
[18:34] ---
    please keep your voice down.
[18:37] ---
    Besides, it is indeed complete.
[18:41] ---
    What?!
[18:44] ---
    Saying it wasn't ready was a lie of
    convenience, in order to come up with a budget.
[18:48] ---
    Now all we need is a Celestial Spirit Wizard
[18:50] ---
    and Eclipse will have reached
    the practical stage.
[18:54] ---
    I don't believe it...
[18:55] ---
    You're telling me it's been
    completed in merely seven years?!
[19:00] ---
    The project shall now
    proceed to phase 4, plan B.
[19:05] ---
    This time we will absolutely
    acquire a Celestial Spirit Wizard.
[19:10] ---
    It's already common knowledge that
    you're opposed to the Eclipse Project.
[19:17] ---
    However, we can't be stopped
    now after coming this far.
[19:20] ---
    Are you a devil?!
[19:23] ---
    For the sake of king and country,
[19:26] ---
    a man may even become devil or god.
[19:30] ---
    Weighed against Eclipse, the gateway
    that will change the world,
[19:34] ---
    the life of one girl is exceedingly cheap.
[19:40] ---
    Alright, the second day of the Grand Magic
    Games reaches its final match at last!
[19:45] ---
    Kagura Mikazuchi from Mermaid Heel versus
[19:49] ---
    Sabertooth's Yukino Agria!
[19:52] ---
    We've got another battle of the beauties!
[19:56] ---
    Which do you think is going to win?
[19:58] ---
    Yukino-san, of course!
[20:01] ---
    How is it you don't even know that, Frosch?!
[20:04] ---
    Fro thinks so, too!
[20:06] ---
    Thanks to somebody, we couldn't get
    any points in the competition part.
[20:12] ---
    No.
[20:13] ---
    Sting-sama was just unlucky.
[20:15] ---
    If we'd known the competition was going
    to be on top of a moving vehicle...
[20:18] ---
    Never mind about that.
[20:20] ---
    You do know what it means to be
    a member of this team, don't you?
[20:24] ---
    Sabertooth...
[20:26] ---
    It means fighting in that
    name without sullying it
[20:28] ---
    and winning without question.
[20:31] ---
    Good luck, Kagura-chan!
[20:33] ---
    Win it for me!
[20:35] ---
    Still, her opponent's from Sabertooth...
[20:38] ---
    Kagura is stronger than her!
[20:41] ---
    Never fear.
[20:42] ---
    I saw the path...
[20:44] ---
    The destination of my sword...
[20:47] ---
    I guess we're done with
    the pinup model battles?
[20:51] ---
    Well, depending on individual taste,
    it wouldn't be out of the question...
[20:54] ---
    We couldn't ask this cool
    twosome to do that, right?!
[21:03] ---
    Sabertooth...
[21:04] ---
    Watch closely.
[21:06] ---
    This is the guild we have to overcome.
[21:08] ---
    Right!
[21:10] ---
    All of you already know how strong Kagura is.
[21:14] ---
    She's Mermaid Heel's strongest wizard
[21:16] ---
    as well as the Weekly Sorcerer's
    top pick for female wizard!
[21:20] ---
    Against her is Yukino, who's
    making her debut today.
[21:23] ---
    Still, she's a member of the
    strongest guild, Sabertooth,
[21:27] ---
    so we can expect her to be pretty strong!
[21:32] ---
    Alright, let the match begin!
[21:35] ---
    I look forward to doing battle with you.
[21:39] ---
    As do I.
[21:40] ---
    Before we begin, shall we make a bet too?
[21:45] ---
    Sorry, but I'm not interested.
[21:47] ---
    Is it because you're afraid of losing?
[21:50] ---
    I don't possess that kind of emotion.
[21:53] ---
    However, I believe that when one makes
    a wager, it must be followed through.
[21:58] ---
    So I'd like to abstain from
    any thoughtless diversions.
[22:01] ---
    In that case, let's make a serious bet.
[22:05] ---
    Let's bet our lives.
[23:55] ---
    The next battle is also
    between two women, huh?
[23:58] ---
    Is it gonna be another swimsuit showdown?
[23:59] ---
    If it is, the sponsor of this tournament
    who decides on the match-ups
[24:03] ---
    has a dirty mind!
[24:04] ---
    But it doesn't feel like that's
    gonna be the case this time...
[24:06] ---
    Both of them seem like
    they're straight-laced, right?
[24:09] ---
    It looks like this is
    gonna be a serious match.
[24:10] ---
    In other words, we're not getting any
    more so-called service scenes, huh?
[24:13] ---
    Next time: Kagura versus Yukino!
[24:16] ---
    She said they're gonna bet their lives,
    but what happens when one loses?
[24:20] ---
    They go nude in the Sorcerer!
[24:22] ---
    That was for the last match!
[24:23] ---
