[00:08] ---
Dad...
[00:12] ---
Dad... Where did you go?!
[00:16] ---
July 7th, 777.
[00:21] ---
The king of the Fire Dragons, Igneel,
who had raised Natsu Dragneel as a parent,
[00:25] ---
was suddenly gone.
[00:28] ---
After that, Natsu joined a
wizard's guild, Fairy Tail,
[00:33] ---
but didn't give up on searching
for Igneel's whereabouts.
[00:39] ---
This reunion was entirely unexpected.
[02:15] ---
Magic that allows humans to slay dragons,
[02:19] ---
Dragon Slayer Magic, was given to them,
and they took part in the war.
[02:23] ---
The power of the Dragon Slayers
was tremendous.
[02:27] ---
Victory for the dragons that chose
to coexist with humans was imminent.
[02:34] ---
However, there was one miscalculation.
[02:38] ---
The Dragon Slayers, who had been
given too much power,
[02:41] ---
even murdered the dragons that
wished to coexist with humans.
[02:48] ---
But one of those humans
[02:52] ---
was a man who had bathed
too much in dragon blood.
[02:56] ---
It is a dreadful thing
to even speak his name.
[03:01] ---
The man slew a new kind of dragon and
continued to bathe in their blood.
[03:06] ---
Eventually, his skin turned to scales
and his teeth to fangs.
[03:11] ---
He transformed into a dragon himself.
[03:17] ---
That is what lies beyond Dragon Slayer Magic.
[03:22] ---
The man destroyed those dragons
that are sleeping here, too.
[03:28] ---
Though still human, he became
the king of the dragons.
[03:33] ---
The king of the dragons started another war.
[03:37] ---
That was the Festival of the Dragon King.
[03:41] ---
The king's name is Acnologia.
[03:45] ---
Those wings of darkness are a dragon
and yet not a dragon.
[03:55] ---
Was this mighty "demon" lured here?
[03:59] ---
Or has it come in pursuit of Zeref?
[04:06] ---
That voice! I'd never forget it!
[04:11] ---
Acnologia!
[04:37] ---
I apologize for everything, Natsu.
[05:07] ---
I've been inside of you all this time.
SIGN Tartaros Arc: Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon
[06:03] ---
That's Igneel?
[06:40] ---
Dad...
[06:52] ---
What did he mean, "inside of you"?
[06:56] ---
Don't tell me that inside of Gajeel, too...
[07:00] ---
My heartbeat...
[07:02] ---
...is normal again.
[07:11] ---
Are you okay, Rogue?
[07:15] ---
Yeah.
[07:16] ---
More importantly, where did
the man with the book go?
[07:21] ---
Now that you mention it...
[07:46] ---
Wendy!
[07:47] ---
Are you all right?
[07:50] ---
Yeah...
[07:51] ---
Don't exhaust yourself.
[07:53] ---
I won't.
[07:55] ---
Carla, that's...
[08:10] ---
What's going on here?
[08:12] ---
The black one is Acnologia, right?
[08:16] ---
What about the red dragon?
[08:18] ---
There's another dragon?
[08:20] ---
I don't get it,
[08:22] ---
but it looks like another dragon
is fighting Acnologia?
[08:26] ---
Acnologia is the enemy, right?
Then what about the other one?
[08:31] ---
What is that?
[08:34] ---
An ally?
[08:45] ---
Dragon...
[08:47] ---
Acnologia...
[08:49] ---
What should we do? Has it come here for us?
[08:53] ---
I doubt it,
[08:55] ---
but at this rate, it's possible
all of Magnolia will be annihilated.
[08:59] ---
Why, at a time like this...?
[09:01] ---
And there are two of them.
[09:03] ---
Their strength is beyond
anything humans can handle.
[09:09] ---
The dragon that's fighting Acnologia...
[09:13] ---
Fire?
[09:15] ---
A Fire Dragon...
[09:17] ---
It couldn't be...
[09:19] ---
What... What the hell is happening?
[09:24] ---
Mard Geer-sama...
[09:38] ---
The wings of darkness, Acnologia...
[09:41] ---
The king of Fire Dragons, Igneel...
[09:44] ---
I will not allow you to
interfere with my plan.
[09:51] ---
Instead, the plan has been revised.
[09:55] ---
Both of you will perish.
[10:04] ---
You, of a forgotten species.
[10:12] ---
Are you okay, Gajeel?
[10:15] ---
What the hell is goin' on here?
[10:17] ---
Hey! Salamander!
[10:19] ---
Is that Igneel?
[10:21] ---
What did he mean, he was inside your body?!
[10:25] ---
Don't ask me.
[10:28] ---
All this time...
[10:31] ---
I've been looking for him all this time.
[10:34] ---
Natsu...
[10:44] ---
What the hell...
[10:46] ---
...Igneel?!
[10:49] ---
Natsu?!
[10:50] ---
Natsu!
[11:02] ---
Fool.
[11:04] ---
I said we'd talk later!
[11:06] ---
Tell me now!
[11:09] ---
Why'd you suddenly disappear?!
[11:11] ---
And you were in my body the whole time?!
[11:16] ---
Where are Gajeel and Wendy's dragons?!
[11:19] ---
What happened on July 7th, 777?!
[11:26] ---
Tell me, Igneel!
[11:32] ---
Quiet!
[11:40] ---
Natsu!
[11:42] ---
Quit spacing out!
[11:59] ---
It's hot!
[12:00] ---
Get back!
[12:02] ---
Th-This is...
[12:07] ---
Seriously?!
[12:08] ---
Incredible heat...
[12:10] ---
Wha...? Aren't we in trouble?!
[12:13] ---
Even though we're far away,
it feels like my body's gonna melt!
[12:16] ---
It's hot!
[12:24] ---
What flames...
[12:26] ---
It's as if the sun itself has fallen.
[12:30] ---
Hey, look!
[12:31] ---
Acnologia is suffering!
[12:34] ---
I imagine he'll be helpless before
the might of those flames.
[12:38] ---
Sh-Shouldn't we hide?
[12:40] ---
It's probably too late.
[12:52] ---
That's...
[12:54] ---
...the Roar of the Fire Dragon.
[12:56] ---
Those flames are unbelievable!
[12:59] ---
Fro thinks so, too...
[13:01] ---
That's the power of a dragon.
[13:04] ---
Incredible...
[13:11] ---
A-Awesome...
[13:14] ---
No. He didn't suffer any damage at all.
[13:25] ---
It had no effect whatsoever?!
[13:26] ---
Are you serious?
[13:29] ---
Even though he was engulfed
by those flames...
[13:31] ---
If he didn't suffer so much as a scratch
from an attack like that...
[13:36] ---
Is Acnologia...
[13:38] ---
...invulnerable?!
[13:40] ---
Then what are we supposed to do?
[13:43] ---
Fro doesn't know, either...
[13:46] ---
All we can do is watch.
[13:56] ---
I'm fired up.
[14:04] ---
Natsu!
[14:05] ---
You're in the way!
[14:07] ---
What do you mean, I'm in the way?!
[14:08] ---
Is that what you say when
we're reunited after years?!
[14:11] ---
I told you. We have a great deal
to talk about, but later.
[14:17] ---
You've got your own work to do.
[14:20] ---
Work?
[14:22] ---
You belong to one of those guilds, don't you?
[14:25] ---
Then I'll officially hire you.
[14:29] ---
Look.
[14:36] ---
The book that man is holding...
[14:43] ---
It's the Book of END.
[14:47] ---
END...
[14:49] ---
Bring me that book.
[14:51] ---
Why should I do that?
[14:54] ---
Because you're the only one who can.
[14:59] ---
Besides, he's the ringleader
of all this fuss.
[15:03] ---
That alone is enough reason
to fight him, isn't it?
[15:07] ---
He's the one...
[15:09] ---
Listen. Whatever you do,
don't open that book.
[15:13] ---
And don't you dare destroy it, either.
[15:15] ---
Just steal it from him.
[15:19] ---
What's the reward?
[15:21] ---
What?!
[15:22] ---
Of course! I'm workin' for the guild!
[15:26] ---
Fine.
[15:29] ---
Your reward is learning
everything you want to know.
[15:34] ---
It's a deal!
[15:38] ---
Then go get him, Natsu!
[15:41] ---
A'ight!
[15:43] ---
You just be sure to keep your promise!
[15:46] ---
Don't go anywhere!
[15:48] ---
I won't.
[15:49] ---
It's a promise!
[15:54] ---
I'm fired up!
[16:16] ---
The book that man is holding...
[16:22] ---
It's the Book of END.
[16:26] ---
END...
[16:28] ---
Bring me that book.
[16:31] ---
Why should I do that?
[16:33] ---
Listen. Whatever you do,
don't open that book.
[16:37] ---
And don't you dare destroy it, either.
[16:39] ---
Just steal it from him.
[16:42] ---
It's a deal!
[16:46] ---
Then go get him, Natsu!
[16:50] ---
A'ight!
[16:51] ---
I'm fired up!
[16:59] ---
Who are you?
[17:00] ---
I'm...
[17:02] ---
...Igneel's son!
[17:09] ---
The dragon's child?
[17:22] ---
I'm taking that book!
[17:26] ---
I'm gonna stop Face, too!
[17:28] ---
Oh?
[17:29] ---
But first I'm gonna kick your ass!
[17:35] ---
Thorns!
[17:42] ---
This is the first time he's seen my
Curse power, but he can dodge it?
[17:46] ---
Iron Fist...
[17:51] ---
...of the Fire Dragon!
[18:25] ---
Kyoka.
[18:28] ---
Can you hear me?
[18:35] ---
Mard Geer-sama!
[18:38] ---
The dragons are a nuisance.
[18:41] ---
We're going to accelerate Face's activation.
[18:46] ---
Right now you're in the
control room, aren't you?
[18:48] ---
Yes.
[18:50] ---
But...
[18:52] ---
...Keys and Seilah were both defeated,
[18:54] ---
so no one can animate the chairman.
[18:58] ---
No worries.
[18:59] ---
If we're at the launch phase,
[19:02] ---
then even you can hasten their activation.
[19:07] ---
The main lacrima is in the
center of the control room.
[19:11] ---
Form a living link between that and yourself.
[19:14] ---
A living link?
[19:17] ---
By becoming the Face activation key,
[19:20] ---
you can accelerate its timetable.
[19:29] ---
Once Face is activated, not only
will the wizards become powerless,
[19:34] ---
but I expect we'll be able to steal
the dragons' life force, too.
[19:38] ---
And then we'll resurrect Master END.
[19:44] ---
We'll win.
[19:48] ---
So do it.
[19:51] ---
Mard Geer-sama...
[19:54] ---
If I form a living link between this vast
amount of magic and my own Curse power...
[20:01] ---
...it will kill me.
[20:04] ---
What about it?
[20:06] ---
Do you fear death?
[20:12] ---
No.
[20:14] ---
If it is to fulfill Tartaros's
long-cherished wish,
[20:17] ---
my life is of no consequence.
[20:21] ---
Everything...
[20:25] ---
...is for Zeref!
[20:30] ---
What are you...?!
[20:55] ---
What is that?!
[20:57] ---
Some kind of markers?
[21:00] ---
I have a bad feeling about this.
[21:03] ---
Fro thinks so, too.
[21:22] ---
These are the number of Face units
across the continent.
[21:26] ---
Living link established.
[21:29] ---
Now I am one with the Face activation device.
[21:34] ---
What?!
[21:35] ---
Living link?!
[21:38] ---
She merged with it?
[21:40] ---
For what?
[21:42] ---
To speed up Face's activation?
[21:47] ---
Now it's very simple.
[21:50] ---
If you kill me, you stop Face.
[21:53] ---
Although I'll die anyway
after Face is activated.
[21:59] ---
That's some confidence.
[22:01] ---
I assume you don't imagine yourself losing.
[22:05] ---
Indeed I don't.
[22:07] ---
You still don't know...
[22:10] ---
...Kyoka, Slave Star Empress
of the Nine Demons!
[22:17] ---
My true, Etherious form!
[23:56] ---
While Igneel and Acnologia
continue their battle,
[23:59] ---
Kyoka activates Face with living link magic.
[24:04] ---
Erza stands against Kyoka, the only way
[24:07] ---
for the countdown to be stopped.
[24:09] ---
However, Kyoka is now in her Etherious form,
[24:13] ---
and at last, Erza goes down on her knees.
[24:16] ---
Next time:
Tartaros Arc: 00:00.
SIGN Tartaros Arc: 00:00
[24:20] ---
Even if you lose everything,
something remains.
