**[00:14] ---**
Fairy Tail...
**[00:16] ---**
Natsu...san?
**[00:22] ---**
You came here to pick a fight with Master?
**[00:25] ---**
That's suicidal!
**[00:27] ---**
Fro thinks so, too...
**[02:00] ---**
Are you serious, kid?
**[02:05] ---**
Anybody who doesn't think of
their comrades as comrades
**[02:09] ---**
is on my list!
**[02:11] ---**
Is he talking about Yukino?
**[02:14] ---**
That's got nothin' to do with you!
**[02:16] ---**
Who would storm in here
over something like that?!
**[02:20] ---**
I don't know what you're talking about,
**[02:22] ---**
but I suppose you've got your reasons.
**[02:27] ---**
You don't know what I'm talkin' about?!
**[02:30] ---**
Dobengal.
**[02:32] ---**
Deal with him.
**[02:33] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[02:35] ---**
You're avoiding me?
**[02:37] ---**
A guild soldier like you needs
100 more years of experience.
**[02:41] ---**
If you want a shot at the top, you'll have
to prove yourself. Show me what you can do.
**[02:50] ---**
Pandemonium!
**[02:53] ---**
Fight me!
**[02:56] ---**
You're not getting near the master!
**[03:06] ---**
I, Dobengal, am not taking
part in the Grand Magic Games,
**[03:11] ---**
but when it comes to skill, I'm just as
strong as any of the participants here.
**[03:15] ---**
I'm going to show you
the power of Sabertooth!
**[03:22] ---**
A smokescreen, huh?
**[03:27] ---**
You don't know who you're messing with.
**[03:29] ---**
You should withdraw immediately.
**[03:31] ---**
Get out!
**[03:32] ---**
Outta my way!
**[03:35] ---**
My beef ain't with you!
**[03:40] ---**
I don't believe it...
**[03:41] ---**
Dobengal's down?!
**[03:44] ---**
He's one of the top ten strongest
wizards in our guild!
**[03:49] ---**
Master, let me...
**[03:51] ---**
Don't do a thing.
**[03:54] ---**
Kid, there aren't any like you in my guild.
**[03:57] ---**
Amusing.
**[04:05] ---**
Is that all...
**[04:07] ---**
...you've got?!
**[04:36] ---**
Firing Hammer...
**[04:39] ---**
...of the Lightning Flame Dragon!
**[04:59] ---**
Minerva!
**[05:02] ---**
My lady!
**[05:09] ---**
Shall we end this evening's
entertainment here?
**[05:14] ---**
Minerva, I didn't ask you to step in...
**[05:18] ---**
Of course,
**[05:20] ---**
if this had continued, you
would have won, Father.
**[05:24] ---**
Father?
**[05:26] ---**
However, the world cares about appearances.
**[05:31] ---**
Even though this one came
here and attacked you,
**[05:34] ---**
if the master of Sabertooth annihilated
a participant in the Grand Magic Games,
**[05:40] ---**
it would cause difficulty for all of us.
**[05:43] ---**
I'll tell ya one thing... if anybody's
gettin' wiped out, it's him!
**[05:47] ---**
My father has somewhat warmed to this battle,
**[05:50] ---**
but cannot back down in
front of his subordinates.
**[05:54] ---**
What do you think?
**[05:55] ---**
Will you allow us to save face?
**[06:04] ---**
If you do, I'll return this
kitten to you unharmed.
**[06:10] ---**
Happy!
**[06:12] ---**
I'm sorry, Natsu!
**[06:15] ---**
Dammit!
**[06:17] ---**
You've incapacitated several of our people,
**[06:20] ---**
but we're willing to overlook this incident.
**[06:25] ---**
In exchange, I'm asking you
to behave in a mature fashion.
**[06:36] ---**
Natsu!
**[06:39] ---**
I'm sorry! They caught me at the entrance!
**[06:43] ---**
It's okay, Happy.
**[06:45] ---**
It's my fault for leaving you behind.
**[06:48] ---**
Natsu!
**[06:51] ---**
Let's go.
**[06:52] ---**
Aye!
**[06:56] ---**
That kid's got grit.
**[06:59] ---**
We'll settle this at the Grand Magic Games.
**[07:02] ---**
To our hearts' content.
**[07:06] ---**
We ain't gonna lose to the likes of you.
**[07:09] ---**
In fact, you won't be
able to keep up with us.
**[07:17] ---**
If you call yourself a guild,
take care of your comrades.
**[07:22] ---**
That's all I wanted to say.
**[07:30] ---**
Comrades...
**[07:32] ---**
We don't have that kind of bond in our guild.
**[07:37] ---**
Y-You're that strong,
**[07:40] ---**
Natsu Dragneel?!
**[07:43] ---**
Hey! I'm gonna compete tomorrow!
**[07:45] ---**
I can't just let him get
away with this carnage!
**[07:49] ---**
You mean you're going to unleash the
power of Black Lightning, right?
**[07:52] ---**
Certainly, this was rather one-sided carnage,
**[07:57] ---**
but without something like this,
we would've lost our spark.
**[08:01] ---**
Anyway, we need someone to replace Yukino.
**[08:04] ---**
I think I'll get in on the fun.
**[08:12] ---**
You fought Sabertooth?!
**[08:15] ---**
Actually, I wanted to mix
it up with 'em even more...
**[08:18] ---**
Too bad it ended right as
I was gettin' fired up.
**[08:20] ---**
I'm sorry, Natsu!
**[08:22] ---**
It's my fault, for getting caught!
**[08:25] ---**
What are you talking about?! We're
lucky it ended the way it did!
**[08:29] ---**
That's right!
**[08:30] ---**
If one of their team
members had been injured,
**[08:33] ---**
we might've been disqualified!
**[08:37] ---**
Come to think of it, that Minerva
chick was sayin' something like that.
**[08:41] ---**
*You* are incredibly stupid!
**[08:44] ---**
Use your head a little!
**[08:46] ---**
Exactly!
**[08:47] ---**
Pour it on, Gray! Read him the riot act!
**[08:50] ---**
If you were gonna take the fight
to them, you should've invited me!
**[08:54] ---**
It's not fair, you getting
to have all the fun!
**[08:58] ---**
You're missing the point!
**[09:00] ---**
Just because you're frustrated
from losing a match,
**[09:03] ---**
there's nothing admirable about getting
payback in a fight outside the arena.
**[09:06] ---**
That's not what it's about!
**[09:09] ---**
I just wanted to deliver a
message to that Rufus bastard...
**[09:13] ---**
"I'm not gonna lose next time!"
**[09:16] ---**
Anyway, I'm not lettin'
those jerks off the hook.
**[09:18] ---**
A comrade's someone who's got
your back and you got theirs...
**[09:23] ---**
Being strict is one thing,
**[09:25] ---**
but humiliating a girl and then kicking
her out, that's as low as you can go!
**[09:31] ---**
That Yukino girl,
**[09:33] ---**
even after being abused like
that, she came to see me...
**[09:38] ---**
I wonder where she is now...
**[09:40] ---**
I'm worried.
**[09:42] ---**
She did say she has nowhere to go...
**[09:47] ---**
Dammit! I'm still seething!
**[09:50] ---**
I think I'll go back there
an' fight some more!
**[09:52] ---**
Alright! Count me in!
**[09:54] ---**
You can't do that!
**[09:56] ---**
Can't you just settle it at the tournament?!
**[09:59] ---**
Although now that you've riled up Sabertooth,
**[10:02] ---**
from tomorrow on, they'll probably
go even harder on us in the matches!
**[10:10] ---**
It doesn't matter which guild they're in,
**[10:12] ---**
all wizards have their own feelings.
**[10:26] ---**
Move it!
**[10:27] ---**
Let us go!
**[10:28] ---**
Stop it, I said!
**[10:31] ---**
Listen, you two...
**[10:39] ---**
Would you cut it out?!
**[10:42] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[10:52] ---**
Hey, did you hear?
**[10:53] ---**
About last night, right?!
**[10:54] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[10:55] ---**
Apparently, somebody
attacked Sabertooth's inn!
**[11:00] ---**
What kind of fool would
pick a fight with Saber?!
**[11:06] ---**
Beats me!
**[11:07] ---**
Well, brawls happen outside
the arena every year, right?
**[11:10] ---**
This is a festival, so they
should take it public!
**[11:17] ---**
Natsu-sama...?
**[11:20] ---**
A guild that makes its family
members cry ain't no guild at all!
**[11:28] ---**
Don't tell me he did it for...
**[11:39] ---**
We're at the halfway point
in the Grand Magic Games.
**[11:42] ---**
The beginning of the third day!
**[11:44] ---**
I wonder what kind of passionate
dramas we'll see today?
**[11:48] ---**
Our guest today
**[11:50] ---**
is Lahar-san, from the Magic Council.
**[11:54] ---**
It's been a long time, hasn't it?
**[11:56] ---**
Thank you for this opportunity.
**[11:58] ---**
Lahar-san, you're the Captain of the
Enforcement and Detention Corps...
**[12:03] ---**
Yes.
**[12:04] ---**
I won't stand for any shenanigans
during the tournament.
**[12:10] ---**
That's the captain for you.
**[12:12] ---**
He never forgets his duties.
**[12:16] ---**
Damn you, Lahar...
**[12:18] ---**
Why'd you make me come here?
**[12:23] ---**
A guest of the Grand Magic Games?!
**[12:26] ---**
You?
**[12:28] ---**
I have no reason to decline.
**[12:30] ---**
Come with me, Doranbolt.
**[12:32] ---**
No, I...
**[12:35] ---**
You want to see Fairy Tail
alive and well, don't you?
**[12:38] ---**
Don't you wonder about them?
**[12:41] ---**
How could I not?
**[12:43] ---**
Still, the way I am now...
**[12:46] ---**
Are you still hung up on what
happened seven years ago?
**[12:49] ---**
About what you perceive of
as abandoning Fairy Tail?
**[12:54] ---**
They're looking forward.
**[12:57] ---**
The only one who's dragged
down by the past is you.
**[13:08] ---**
Oh, no! The match is starting!
**[13:10] ---**
It's your fault! You just had to get
a fish-kebab from that food stand!
**[13:13] ---**
It smelled so good, I couldn't help myself!
**[13:16] ---**
Whatever, let's just hurry!
**[13:21] ---**
I'm going to announce the competition
for this, the third day of the Games!
**[13:25] ---**
The name of the event...
**[13:26] ---**
...is Pandemonium!
**[13:29] ---**
What does "pandemonium" mean?
**[13:31] ---**
It's an abode of demons.
**[13:33] ---**
Like a building where lots of demons lurk...
**[13:37] ---**
I wonder if they're doing a haunted house...
**[13:40] ---**
They're walking down a
dark path and suddenly...
**[13:43] ---**
...something like this jumps out!
**[13:48] ---**
I don't think I like "pandemonium"...
**[13:50] ---**
I-I'm scared, too!
**[13:54] ---**
Even though you're a ghost yourself?!
**[13:57] ---**
There will be one participant
from each guild.
**[14:00] ---**
Please choose your representative!
**[14:02] ---**
I'll do it!
**[14:04] ---**
I gotta continue what I started last night!
**[14:07] ---**
You don't get to decide all by yourself!
**[14:09] ---**
If it's a revenge match, I wanna do it, too!
**[14:13] ---**
No. I'll go.
**[14:16] ---**
You going out there may only
make things more complicated.
**[14:20] ---**
I agree! Good luck, Erza!
**[14:23] ---**
Fight!
**[14:24] ---**
Let me do it!
**[14:26] ---**
Would you calm down?!
**[14:29] ---**
I'll participate for B Team.
**[14:31] ---**
Wait a second!
**[14:33] ---**
It's about time that I get to do something!
**[14:35] ---**
Cana, how could you go, when
you're a reserve member?
**[14:39] ---**
What happened to Mystogan?
**[14:41] ---**
Juvia hasn't seen him yet today...
**[14:43] ---**
With the guest commentator
being a member of the Council,
**[14:46] ---**
I should be able to participate, right?
**[14:48] ---**
That's true...
**[14:51] ---**
If Er-chan is gonna do this,
let me go too, Kagura-chan!
**[14:54] ---**
I'll allow it.
**[14:58] ---**
I'm not gonna lose, Er-chan!
**[15:00] ---**
Right!
**[15:01] ---**
I hate Jellal, too...
**[15:04] ---**
He used us...
**[15:07] ---**
...and murdered Simon.
**[15:09] ---**
I'll never forgive him...
**[15:11] ---**
I'll never forgive him!
**[15:16] ---**
I have to focus!
**[15:18] ---**
From Mermaid Heel, it looks like
Millianna is taking the field!
**[15:22] ---**
That girl!
**[15:23] ---**
Millianna...
**[15:24] ---**
She's the one who was wearing the hood.
I didn't know she was in a guild.
**[15:28] ---**
Don't cause trouble in
front of the Council, Obra.
**[15:35] ---**
I'll be the rep for Pegasus.
**[15:39] ---**
Like I said last night, I'm
participating in this one.
**[15:42] ---**
I'll use my Black Lightning to
blast them all to smithereens.
**[15:45] ---**
Even though we don't know what kind
of competition it's going to be?
**[15:51] ---**
Do what you want.
**[15:53] ---**
If Natsu Dragneel isn't gonna be
in it, I don't care what happens.
**[16:00] ---**
Jura-san is going to do it?
**[16:02] ---**
On Obaba's orders, so we
can't do anything about it.
**[16:04] ---**
My sock...
**[16:06] ---**
Just buy a new one!
**[16:09] ---**
Count on me.
**[16:11] ---**
All of the participants have been selected!
**[16:13] ---**
From Sabertooth, Orga!
**[16:15] ---**
From Lamia Scale, Jura!
**[16:17] ---**
From Blue Pegasus, Hibiki!
**[16:19] ---**
From Raven Tail, Obra!
**[16:21] ---**
From Mermaid Heel, Millianna!
**[16:24] ---**
From Quatro Puppy, Novali!
**[16:26] ---**
From Fairy Tail A, Erza!
**[16:28] ---**
From Fairy Tail B, Cana!
**[16:30] ---**
These are our eight competitors!
**[16:49] ---**
What is that?!
**[16:50] ---**
Wow...
**[16:56] ---**
Begin analysis.
**[17:09] ---**
Pandemonium, a temple
haunted by evil monsters!
**[17:14] ---**
It's huge!
**[17:17] ---**
Haunted by monsters, he says?
**[17:20] ---**
That's the idea-kabo.
**[17:23] ---**
There are 100 monsters inside this temple.
**[17:27] ---**
That being said, they're actually
magical manifestations that we created,
**[17:30] ---**
so everyone can relax. There's
no danger of you being attacked.
**[17:34] ---**
The monsters are D, C, B, A, S!
**[17:38] ---**
Those are the five levels of battle
power the monsters are divided into.
**[17:41] ---**
This is how it breaks down.
**[17:45] ---**
Incidentally...
**[17:46] ---**
...if you're curious about just how
strong the D-class monsters are...
**[18:08] ---**
Ones like these
**[18:09] ---**
and ones even stronger, 100 of them
wandering around the temple...
**[18:12] ---**
That's Pandemonium-kabo!
**[18:17] ---**
Even though he says they're
just magical manifestations,
**[18:20] ---**
if you get attacked by them,
you're hurt for real, right?
**[18:22] ---**
Will Erza and Cana be okay?
**[18:25] ---**
I'd like to think that those
two will be alright, but...
**[18:29] ---**
This is a really extravagant
competition, don't you think?
**[18:31] ---**
Though it feels like they may
be going a little too far...
**[18:38] ---**
Please note that as the class
of the monsters goes up,
**[18:41] ---**
their fighting strength
increases exponentially.
**[18:44] ---**
The S-class monster is so strong
that there's no guarantee
**[18:47] ---**
even one of the 10 Great Wizard
Saints can defeat it-kabo.
**[18:53] ---**
In order, each of you will choose
the number of monsters to battle.
**[18:58] ---**
It's called your "right to challenge".
**[19:01] ---**
Right to challenge?
**[19:02] ---**
For example, if you choose three monsters,
**[19:05] ---**
three of them will appear inside the temple.
**[19:09] ---**
The person who chooses them
enters the temple alone.
**[19:12] ---**
If the player successfully destroys
them, he or she gets three points.
**[19:18] ---**
The next player then has the right to
challenge up to 97 of the remaining monsters.
**[19:25] ---**
And so on and so on,
**[19:27] ---**
until there are zero monsters left!
**[19:30] ---**
Alternatively, if everyone runs out of magic
power, the game is over at that point.
**[19:35] ---**
It's like a counting game.
**[19:37] ---**
That's right!
**[19:39] ---**
Assessing the situation when your
turn comes around becomes important!
**[19:43] ---**
However, as I mentioned before,
**[19:45] ---**
the monsters are ranked.
**[19:48] ---**
Whether the player uses their
right to challenge one or five,
**[19:52] ---**
the monsters appear randomly.
**[19:56] ---**
In other words, you need a strategy to avoid
running into the S-class monster, right?
**[20:02] ---**
If it's random, having a strategy
like that won't do you any good.
**[20:08] ---**
Not true. Between probability
theory and my Archive,
**[20:12] ---**
strategy will work to some extent.
**[20:15] ---**
Irrespective of the monster's rank,
**[20:18] ---**
you'll get one point for
each monster you destroy.
**[20:22] ---**
Once you enter the temple, you
can't exit until you've succeeded.
**[20:27] ---**
What happens if we go down
while inside the temple?
**[20:31] ---**
The number of points you've earned
during your turn stays as is,
**[20:35] ---**
but the number of destroys you've had
that turn goes to zero, and you're out.
**[20:41] ---**
Then it's bad to get too greedy.
**[20:44] ---**
But if you only go with one monster per
turn, you'll fall behind the others.
**[20:49] ---**
And you also have to consider how much magic
you'll recover before it's your next turn.
**[20:54] ---**
This is surprisingly difficult, huh?
**[20:57] ---**
Well, let's see what happens...
**[21:00] ---**
...with the two from our guild.
**[21:03] ---**
Alright, let's decide on the order.
**[21:06] ---**
Please draw your lots.
**[21:11] ---**
Number one!
**[21:13] ---**
You're lucky! It'll go back around
to being your turn the most.
**[21:18] ---**
I got number eight...
**[21:21] ---**
With this competition,
**[21:23] ---**
I thought winning or losing all
depended on the luck of the draw...
**[21:27] ---**
Luck of the draw? I don't know about that...
**[21:30] ---**
More than the order of battle,
**[21:32] ---**
pacing yourself and situational
judgment are important in this game.
**[21:36] ---**
No.
**[21:37] ---**
This isn't a game anymore.
**[21:47] ---**
All 100 will be my opponents!
**[21:51] ---**
I exercise my right to challenge...
**[21:54] ---**
...100!
**[23:55] ---**
100 monsters all by herself,
she says! Erza really is scary!
**[23:58] ---**
It's like Erza is the one who's the monster!
**[24:01] ---**
Does she actually have all that armor?!
**[24:03] ---**
Heaven's Wheel Armor, Black Wing,
Flame Empress, Sea Empress,
**[24:06] ---**
Flight, Adamantine, Giant,
Lightning Empress...
**[24:08] ---**
I bet she has, like, Red Ogre
Armor and Hag Armor, too!
**[24:12] ---**
She's gonna get mad at you again!
**[24:14] ---**
Next time: 100 to 1!
**[24:16] ---**
But really, this is supposed to
be a team competition, right?
**[24:20] ---**
Ah, this is fine.
**[24:21] ---**
After all, it's Erza!
