**[00:07] ---**
Zeref...
**[00:08] ---**
Where is Zeref?
**[00:17] ---**
There.
**[00:27] ---**
Natsu...
**[00:34] ---**
Gray...
**[00:38] ---**
Wow wow
**[00:41] ---**
Oh We'll get strong!!
**[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.
**[23:42] ---**

"Pleasure and Pain"
**[23:45] ---**
Love can create bonds, and also bring death.
