[00:38] ---

[00:43] ---
    Wow wow
[00:45] ---
    Hey! Mr. Pain!!
[00:46] ---
    Bring it!! Bring it!!
[00:47] ---
    I won't let you do as you like!!
[00:50] ---
    I'll get stronger than you.
[00:52] ---
    I've already made up my mind to be so!!
[00:56] ---
    Yeah, I'm an out-and-out dreamer
[00:58] ---
    heading to where my heart sings
[01:01] ---
    Obstacles in the way of tomorrow? Bring 'em on!
[01:06] ---
    ey Yo!! Bring it! Anytime, anywhere!
[01:08] ---
    Mr. PAIN
[01:09] ---
    I'll tear challenges right in half, non-stop
[01:11] ---
    I'm not gonna lose to anything
[01:14] ---
    (Raise a flag!!)
[01:15] ---
    Even if I get covered in bruises
[01:19] ---
    (Raise a flag!!)
[01:20] ---
    I have friends who'll fight by my side
[01:28] ---
    A brilliantly shining new world!!
[01:30] ---
    I'll gouge the darkness blocking the light
[01:33] ---
    and break through my so-called limits
[01:38] ---
    to grab the new world with my own two hands!!
[01:41] ---
    I'll mercilessly unleash critical hits
[01:43] ---
    into the boundless future
[01:46] ---
    Wow wow
[01:49] ---
    Oh We'll get strong!!
[01:51] ---
    Wow wow
[02:07] ---
    Gray...
[02:10] ---
    Natsu...
[02:18] ---
    Move.
[02:19] ---
    So you were E.N.D. all along?
[02:24] ---
    Get out of my way!
[02:26] ---
    Answer me, Natsu!
[02:29] ---
    I'm... going to defeat Zeref...
[02:33] ---
    I have to... kill Zeref...
[02:37] ---
    I guess there's no getting
    through to you anymore.
[02:42] ---
    Don't... interfere...
[02:46] ---
    I have to kill Zeref!
[02:51] ---
    The demons of the Book of Zeref...
[02:54] ---
    ...are tools that His Majesty
    personally created to kill himself.
[03:00] ---
    His inability to die caused him great distress,
[03:03] ---
    so he attempted to produce a demon
    powerful enough to kill him.
[03:08] ---
    His ultimate creation was E.N.D.:
    Etherious Natsu Dragneel.
[03:15] ---
    His Majesty's younger brother
    and his mightiest demon.
[03:19] ---
    The demons of the Book of Zeref
    have a homing instinct of sorts.
[03:28] ---
    Because Zeref...
[03:33] ---
    ...must die.
[03:39] ---
    "Broken Bonds"
[03:44] ---
    I can't believe my mortal enemy
    was with me all this time...
[03:49] ---
    Move.
[03:51] ---
    My parents... Ur... Everything...
[03:56] ---
    You--a demon of the Book of Zeref--
    took it all from me...
[04:00] ---
    Even Juvia!
[04:04] ---
    I said move.
[04:07] ---
    But don't worry, Natsu.
[04:10] ---
    I'm going to stop you now!
[04:13] ---
    Get out of my way, Gray!
[04:46] ---
    Your magic is really something, indeed.
[04:49] ---
    Your wounds were so severe...
[04:53] ---
    I can resize injuries, too.
    But I can't fix the damage that's done.
[04:58] ---
    Natsu wasn't affected at all by her time-stop?
[05:02] ---
    It sounds like he's turned into a real monster.
[05:06] ---
    I can make my wounds so small...
[05:10] ---
    ...but I can't reduce my confusion.
[05:13] ---
    I'd say that's for the best.
[05:16] ---
    Confusion, worries, failures...
[05:20] ---
    I think they help us grow as people.
[05:25] ---
    So embrace your confusion.
[05:27] ---
    I feel it's proof you're truly alive.
[05:36] ---
    Lucy!
[05:37] ---
    Yeah!
[05:39] ---
    Stay here. I'm going to go find Natsu!
[05:42] ---
    We have to stop him!
[05:46] ---
    I have to find... my dear Gray...
[05:51] ---
    I have to do something, before it's too late!
[06:13] ---
    I can't stop now!
[06:22] ---
    Lucy...
[06:24] ---
    Lucy!
[06:26] ---
    Why are you so still?!
[06:28] ---
    Lucy! Lucy!
[06:47] ---
    I can't stop!
[06:50] ---
    I will stop you!
[06:52] ---
    And end your life!
[07:05] ---
    Master!
[07:06] ---
    Are you okay?!
[07:08] ---
    Never mind me! Keep moving!
[07:11] ---
    Easier said than done!
[07:16] ---
    They just keep coming!
[07:18] ---
    There's no end to 'em!
[07:20] ---
    Fear not!
[07:24] ---
    I'll pave the way forward!
[07:26] ---
    Erza!
[07:31] ---
    Thank you...
[07:33] ---
    You needn't push yourself too hard, Master.
[07:37] ---
    We will return to the guildhall. Together.
[07:40] ---
    Of course we will, you imbecile.
[07:43] ---
    Whoa!
[07:45] ---
    Wh-What is that?!
[07:52] ---
    Mavis. It's no use hiding.
[07:56] ---
    There is no escape...
[08:00] ---
    ...from my sight.
[08:02] ---
    It talks!
[08:03] ---
    Mavis?!
[08:04] ---
    They're looking for her?!
[08:08] ---
    That voice...!
[08:10] ---
    It's that powerful wizard we saw in the north!
[08:14] ---
    The Scarlet Despair...
[08:17] ---
    I've never seen magic like that before!
[08:19] ---
    It's totally creepy!
[08:21] ---
    How is she even doing this?!
[08:24] ---
    I don't intend to run or hide.
[08:28] ---
    The First Master's voice?
    Where's it coming from?!
[08:34] ---
    You currently occupy our guildhall.
[08:38] ---
    But we will take it back, without fail.
[08:43] ---
    Hear me, my comrades!
[08:46] ---
    Fight with me! Allow the Fairy Tactician
    to guide thy swords!
[08:52] ---
    --First Master?!
    --She's huge!
[08:54] ---
    Is that... an illusion?
[08:57] ---
    Our original master's specialty at work...
[09:00] ---
    It's so incredibly...
[09:09] ---
    ...inspiring!
[09:11] ---
    She raised morale in the blink of an eye.
[09:15] ---
    Interesting.
[09:17] ---
    She used my own words as part
    of her calculated performance.
[09:21] ---
    That detestable brat.
[09:34] ---
    Damn! We're losing ground!
[09:37] ---
    We outnumber them by a lot! Push 'em back!
[09:52] ---
    Enchant...
[10:04] ---
    What the...?!
[10:05] ---
    Their soldiers are acting weird!
[10:15] ---
    Oh, no! This magic...!
[10:28] ---
    ...Berserker.
[10:36] ---
    Erza!
[10:39] ---
    The soldiers' abilities have been enhanced?!
[10:51] ---
    Crap! They already have us
    outnumbered, and now this?!
[11:11] ---
    My Berserker spell makes people
    many times stronger than normal.
[11:17] ---
    Sadly, it also turns them mindless.
[11:21] ---
    So, what will your next move be, Mavis?
[11:44] ---
    So, what will your next move be, Mavis?
[11:50] ---
    Damn!
[11:52] ---
    We need tougher defenses!
[11:59] ---
    Giant Armor and the De-Malevo-Lance!
[12:01] ---
    --Man, that's some strong stuff!
    --That's our Erza!
[12:05] ---
    Requip!
[12:06] ---
    Flame Empress Armor!
[12:12] ---
    Thunder Empress Armor!
[12:17] ---
    --Oh!
    --That's...!
[12:19] ---
    Purgatory Armor!
[12:39] ---
    --Oh, man...
    --You gotta be kidding me!
[12:44] ---
    Do they not feel pain?!
[12:46] ---
    Now what do we do?!
[12:55] ---
    Dad! Open your eyes!
[12:57] ---
    Dad!
[13:10] ---
    So this is how it ends...
[13:13] ---
    Master! You mustn't give up!
[13:15] ---
    I will clear a path!
[13:20] ---
    This is how my journey ends.
[13:24] ---
    That stance... Fairy Law?!
[13:27] ---
    Oh, yeah! I didn't even think of that!
[13:30] ---
    We've got this in the bag!
[13:31] ---
    --We're counting on you, Master!
    --We're saved!
[13:36] ---
    Don't do it!
[13:37] ---
    First Master?!
[13:38] ---
    --Why not?!
    --It's our only option!
[13:41] ---
    The more enemies there are,
    the more Fairy Law drains your life!
[13:47] ---
    Your body won't withstand it!
    Not against this massive army!
[13:52] ---
    Oh, no...
[13:53] ---
    Master...
[13:55] ---
    --We'll handle 'em after all!
    --Yeah! It's the only way!
[13:59] ---
    I'm well aware of what I'm doing, First Master.
[14:02] ---
    This is my final blaze of glory.
    Please don't stop me.
[14:06] ---
    I have a plan!
[14:08] ---
    One that will get us out of this predicament!
[14:11] ---
    Shut up!
[14:13] ---
    The kiddos are suffering before my very eyes!
[14:17] ---
    They're hurt and in pain!
[14:21] ---
    They might just be mere soldiers in your eyes...
[14:25] ---
    ...but to me, they're my precious kids!
[14:30] ---
    I don't... It's not...
[14:34] ---
    I fully understand that any plan of yours
    means certain victory.
[14:40] ---
    But, right now, as we speak,
[14:42] ---
    I can't stand to watch my kids
    shed any more blood!
[14:47] ---
    If the life of this aging old soldier
    can give those kids a future...
[14:55] ---
    ...then I'll gladly give it up.
[14:58] ---
    Master!
[15:03] ---
    Erza. Listen to me.
[15:06] ---
    No! I refuse to!
[15:08] ---
    Let's return to the guildhall together!
[15:11] ---
    No matter what hardships lie ahead...
[15:16] ---
    ...you will find a path forward
    if you walk together.
[15:19] ---
    Trust your friends.
[15:21] ---
    Trust yourself.
[15:24] ---
    A guild is a family. Never forget that.
[15:29] ---
    My journey has been a truly delightful one...
[15:33] ---
    ...thanks to all of you!
[15:40] ---
    Master!
[15:45] ---
    I have no more regrets.
[15:50] ---
    Be good to each other, you hear?
[15:56] ---
    But it's the duty of a parent
    to stand ahead of their kiddos
[16:00] ---
    and plant their trembling feet
    firmly into the ground.
[16:06] ---
    I won't let you have our first master!
[16:11] ---
    North! Head north, everyone!
[16:16] ---
    We don't have a drop of alcohol to give to you.
[16:19] ---
    You should respect her more than anyone!
[16:27] ---
    I'm very sorry...
[16:29] ---
    The finest family I could ask for!
[16:34] ---
    I won't let you take my kiddos from me!
[16:37] ---
    That's what a parent does.
[16:46] ---
    Fairy Law!
[17:18] ---
    It's so quiet all of a sudden.
[17:21] ---
    Yeah. There was something just now...
[17:24] ---
    I thought... I heard something...
[17:27] ---
    That light just now...
[17:30] ---
    That light was so bright.
[17:33] ---
    Could it be?!
[17:35] ---
    That felt like...
[17:38] ---
    Yes...
[17:40] ---
    That dimwit...
[18:17] ---
    He's so cute!
[18:20] ---
    You want me to name him?
[18:23] ---
    Please, Mavis!
[18:29] ---
    Makarov!
[18:31] ---
    It's from a book I once read...
[18:36] ---
    It was the name of a kindhearted king.
[18:48] ---
    Please stand up, First Master.
[18:51] ---
    The enemy is still here.
[18:54] ---
    We can't win without you.
[19:02] ---
    Do it for the old geezer, too.
[19:25] ---
    I'm...
[19:28] ---
    I'm happy to have been your child.
[19:38] ---
    How many did we lose?
[19:40] ---
    Seventy to eighty percent
    of our forces, I estimate.
[19:44] ---
    I have to admit, I'm impressed.
    I underestimated them.
[19:49] ---
    I taught Mavis that spell,
    and she passed it on to Makarov.
[19:55] ---
    The remaining members of
    the Twelve were unaffected, however.
[19:59] ---
    This changes almost nothing.
[20:51] ---
    I am going to stop you, Natsu!
[21:00] ---
    Gray!
[21:03] ---
    Natsu!
[21:34] ---
    What... are you two doing?
[21:41] ---
    Erza...
[21:43] ---
    Tears...
[21:52] ---
    This dawn seems like it could wake us
[21:58] ---
    from the dream we had that day
[22:04] ---
    Wouldn't you like to see
    that bright future again...
[22:12] ---
    ...with those eyes that believed?
[22:16] ---
    The wavering lights are about to go out
[22:24] ---
    So let's light up our stories
[22:31] ---
    one by one
[22:34] ---
    I'm not going to go anywhere
[22:41] ---
    as long as you're here
[22:48] ---
    And when the freezing night comes
[22:54] ---
    we'll sing all night long
[23:00] ---
    a heartfelt lu-lu-lullaby
[23:04] ---
    Your and my lullaby
[23:07] ---
    to keep the dream warm
[23:13] ---
    to keep the dream warm
[23:21] ---
    Erza's tears stop the fight
    between Natsu and Gray.
[23:24] ---
    Their friends have shared so much
    joy and sorrow with them.
[23:28] ---
    The loving voice of their family
[23:30] ---
    permeates both of their hearts
    and shears their hatred.
[23:35] ---
    Meanwhile, the Alvarez army,
    led by the remaining Twelve,
[23:38] ---
    launches a ferocious assault on Ishgar.

    Love can create bonds, and also bring death.
