[00:06] ---
    Christina DX, heading out!
[00:08] ---
    All right! Come get us, Acnologia!
[00:16] ---
    This spell we're under
[00:17] ---
    is the real deal, I'm watching closely
[00:20] ---
    Oh, I wonder if we can change
    this shattered world
[00:36] ---
    Let's keep on journeying and
    picking up the pieces, every last one
[00:40] ---
    Oh, if we can reach beyond
    the shattered tears
[00:46] ---
    You think other people are
    impossible to understand
[00:48] ---
    I'm gonna take away that sad notion
[00:54] ---
    Let's begin
[00:56] ---
    I just can't let it go
[01:00] ---
    because it's just too sad
[01:05] ---
    Your words, more than anyone else's
[01:10] ---
    Your answers, more than anything else
[01:14] ---
    are what I want to know
[01:16] ---
    I want to keep shaking them up
[01:18] ---
    Even if now isn't the time
[01:24] ---
    My words, more than anyone else's
[01:29] ---
    My answers, more than anything else
[01:33] ---
    are what I want to give
[01:35] ---
    So hear them and know
[01:37] ---
    I want to see the same things as you
[01:51] ---
    Captain. This way.
[01:54] ---
    Mm.
[01:55] ---
    Everyone. We'll explain on
    the way to our destination.
[02:00] ---
    Right. That should give us plenty of time.
[02:05] ---
    Wh-Who exactly are you?
[02:12] ---
    "Neo Eclipse"
[02:15] ---
    Things are about to get bumpy, guys!
[02:27] ---
    S-Sorry!
[02:29] ---
    Uh, it was nothing...
[02:34] ---
    Wendy...
[02:37] ---
    This ship was actually built with
    Dragon Slayers in mind.
[02:43] ---
    Calm yourself and take a deep breath.
[02:47] ---
    She knows Wendy?
[02:54] ---
    See? You're just fine.
[03:02] ---
    Perfect! Acnologia's following us!
[03:06] ---
    Let's rile him up a bit.
[03:08] ---
    Roger that!
[03:09] ---
    Charging focused magic cannon Jupiter!
[03:14] ---
    High-speed rotation!
[03:16] ---
    Target locked!
[03:21] ---
    Energy charge complete!
[03:24] ---
    Fire!
[03:31] ---
    Yes! Bulls-eye!
[03:43] ---
    He ate it!
[03:45] ---
    Uh-oh. Don't tell me he's immune to magic?!
[03:48] ---
    Switch to physical ammunition!
[03:50] ---
    I doubt they'll do much,
    but chew on these 120mm rounds!
[03:55] ---
    Assault Pegasus!
[03:59] ---
    Do you truly believe
    you can escape from me?!
[04:05] ---
    He's sped up!
[04:07] ---
    Let's show him what this ship can do!
[04:09] ---
    Igniting magic boosters!
[04:20] ---
    S-Sorry!
[04:22] ---
    Y-You're...
[04:24] ---
    Maintaining orientation!
[04:28] ---
    Do you remember me?
[04:31] ---
    Mrs. Anna, our teacher?!
[04:34] ---
    Teacher?!
[04:37] ---
    I am an ancestor of a close friend
    of yours known as Lucy.
[04:45] ---
    I don't understand at all.
[04:47] ---
    I don't care who you are! But is it true
    that you can defeat Acnologia?!
[04:53] ---
    We mustn't get ahead of ourselves.
    All things have their due time.
[05:01] ---
    You've really grown, Wendy.
[05:04] ---
    I'm... still a little confused...
[05:10] ---
    It's all right.
[05:12] ---
    I'm sorry about Grandeeney
    and the other dragons.
[05:18] ---
    But their efforts weren't in vain.
[05:28] ---
    Four hundred years ago, I was the one
[05:32] ---
    who taught Wendy, Natsu, and the others
    about things like language and culture.
[05:37] ---
    I passed through the Eclipse alongside
    the Dragon Slayers and traveled to this era...
[05:44] ---
    ...to the year 777.
[05:46] ---
    All for the purpose...
[05:48] ---
    ...of defeating Acnologia.
[05:58] ---
    --Lucy?!
    --Wh-Whoa! What's wrong?!
[06:02] ---
    It's just...
[06:04] ---
    Natsu's life is literally this one book?
[06:08] ---
    How is that possible?
[06:15] ---
    I mean, Natsu is just an ordinary boy.
[06:20] ---
    So why...?!
[06:32] ---
    Yes! Give me more, E.N.D.!
[06:38] ---
    Break... Destroy me!
[06:41] ---
    Destroy you...! Destroy me!
[06:45] ---
    Talk right, Big Brother!
[06:48] ---
    E.N.D.!
[06:51] ---
    I'm Natsu!
[06:59] ---
    Man!
[07:02] ---
    Four hundred years ago, we had
    absolutely no way to oppose Acnologia.
[07:08] ---
    So the dragons decided to place
    their hope in the future.
[07:13] ---
    They would enter Dragon Slayers' bodies
    and travel to the future--to this era.
[07:20] ---
    Yes. Grandeeney told us about that.
[07:23] ---
    She mentioned this era is filled with
    the most magic power, I believe.
[07:28] ---
    Yes. It's why we were able
    to connect to this period in time.
[07:34] ---
    Zeref created the gateway, and I opened it.
[07:39] ---
    Zeref?!
[07:40] ---
    He was constantly studying how time works.
[07:45] ---
    Even so, his wish of traveling
    to the past remained out of his reach.
[07:52] ---
    But, I think he still had hope
    for the future back then.
[07:58] ---
    It was Layla Heartfilia
    who connected us to this era.
[08:03] ---
    I opened the entrance,
    and she opened the exit.
[08:08] ---
    Lucy's mother?!
[08:11] ---
    I originally came to explain the situation
    to the person at the exit
[08:16] ---
    and to bring you here and raise you.
[08:20] ---
    To raise us?
[08:23] ---
    You were still children, after all.
[08:28] ---
    But an unforeseen accident flung you
    all through the gate in different directions.
[08:35] ---
    Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, Rogue...
[08:41] ---
    It took five years to find all of you.
[08:47] ---
    But when I saw the lives you'd found
    for yourselves in this era,
[08:52] ---
    I decided it wasn't time to contact you yet.
[08:55] ---
    All things have their due time, after all.
[09:00] ---
    While searching for everyone,
    I made an extraordinary discovery.
[09:06] ---
    I don't know if it was caused by
    the Eclipse accident or something else,
[09:11] ---
    but something new had come into existence.
[09:16] ---
    I stayed behind the scenes all this time
    so I could investigate and prepare for it.
[09:23] ---
    This "thing" possesses
    tremendous, dangerous power.
[09:27] ---
    No, it's more of a concept than power.
[09:33] ---
    Just what is this tremendous
    "thing" you discovered?
[09:38] ---
    A rift in time.
[09:41] ---
    Rift in time...?
[09:43] ---
    Yes.
[09:45] ---
    It's our only hope of trapping Acnologia
    and returning him to nothingness.
[10:01] ---
    An eclipse?
[10:03] ---
    Talk about ominous-looking.
[10:05] ---
    Look, Mommy!
[10:07] ---
    The Ryuzetsu Land
    amusement park is about to open!
[10:14] ---
    Wow! Shooting stars!
[10:17] ---
    How odd. Shooting stars
    usually streak downward.
[10:24] ---
    Look! There's five!
[10:27] ---
    Now then, Princess.
    Let us go look for His Majesty.
[10:31] ---
    I wonder where he went!
[10:43] ---
    My royal family has watched
    this gate for generations.
[10:47] ---
    Finally, someone arrives
    to open it, and now...
[10:54] ---
    ...someone else has come through the gate!
[11:02] ---
    Where...?
[11:04] ---
    Wh-What year is it now?
[11:09] ---
    777.
[11:12] ---
    Four hundred years in the future...
[11:16] ---
    It worked.
[11:20] ---
    The children!
[11:21] ---
    Five children should've come through with me!
[11:26] ---
    I'm not sure if they were children,
[11:29] ---
    but several lights flew outside
    when the gate opened.
[11:35] ---
    See?
[11:37] ---
    They shot right through the ceiling.
[11:49] ---
    So the gate really did
    "connect time" after all.
[11:53] ---
    Thank you for opening it.
    You have my gratitude.
[11:58] ---
    "To the one of a grand era, rich in magic.
[12:02] ---
    When the sun and moon cross,
    use the 12 keys to open the gate."
[12:10] ---
    I was a bit skeptical,
    but this book had been passed down
[12:13] ---
    by my mother, her mother,
    and many generations before them.
[12:17] ---
    I'm the one who wrote it.
[12:20] ---
    Wait a moment. I don't understand at all!
[12:25] ---
    To connect our time periods,
[12:27] ---
    I needed someone to open
    the gate in this era.
[12:31] ---
    I need to write a book
    saying I'm going to the future!
[12:35] ---
    Got it!
[12:39] ---
    I'll pass it on!
[12:42] ---
    What is this book?
    What does "connecting time" mean?
[12:47] ---
    I don't really understand, but I hafta
    pass this on to the next generation.
[12:53] ---
    It's finally time. I'll open the exit!
[12:58] ---
    My descendants passed on
    the secret for generations
[13:02] ---
    until Layla opened the gate for me in this era.
[13:06] ---
    In other words, you're from 400 years ago?!
[13:10] ---
    That's right.
[13:12] ---
    But why did you need to travel to this era?
    The book doesn't mention the reason.
[13:18] ---
    I can't say just yet.
[13:21] ---
    But I promise I will, when the time comes.
[13:24] ---
    Okay.
[13:25] ---
    Why were you the one
    to finally open the gate, Lady Layla?
[13:29] ---
    Was it because you knew magic
    is especially strong in this era?
[13:34] ---
    To be honest, I'm not sure. It's not
    really something you can count, after all.
[13:40] ---
    I just "felt" it was time.
[13:43] ---
    Plus, to be fully honest,
[13:47] ---
    I didn't want to pass this burden
    on to my daughter Lucy.
[13:55] ---
    I want her to live freely.
[13:58] ---
    So I felt I should end it here, at my generation.
[14:02] ---
    It was because this era is rich
    with magic power that the gate opened.
[14:07] ---
    Your judgment was correct.
[14:10] ---
    I burdened you all so much.
[14:14] ---
    Your mother, and all those before her...
[14:18] ---
    I thank you all for your hard work.
[14:21] ---
    You're welcome.
[14:24] ---
    Humankind and civilization
    still exist 400 years in the future.
[14:29] ---
    Just knowing this world
    exists fills with me with happiness.
[14:35] ---
    But...
[14:37] ---
    This might also mean everything
    I've done was for nothing.
[14:42] ---
    If Acnologia isn't a threat in this era, then...
[14:47] ---
    No. I need to keep moving
    forward, no matter what.
[14:53] ---
    I'll take over from here.
[14:56] ---
    Go live happily with your family.
[14:59] ---
    All right...
[15:03] ---
    Can I ask what you're going to do now?
[15:07] ---
    All things have their due time.
[15:11] ---
    I'll first need to find the missing children.
[15:16] ---
    I'll see you again,
    when everything can be revealed.
[15:18] ---
    Yes... I'll keep this entire incident a secret.
[15:24] ---
    Your Majesty.
[15:26] ---
    Could you destroy the gate for me?
[15:29] ---
    Hmm? Mm...
[15:39] ---
    Layla passed away after that,
    before we could see each other again.
[15:47] ---
    Teacher...
[15:50] ---
    The news of her death shook me deeply.
[15:56] ---
    She was my descendant.
    She was precious to me.
[16:01] ---
    She was such a gifted celestial
    spirit wizard with a future ahead of her,
[16:05] ---
    but she willingly shortened
    her life for my plan.
[16:17] ---
    The time has come...
[16:23] ---
    Is there anything else you can share?
[16:27] ---
    Right.
[16:30] ---
    I noticed something
    unusual almost immediately:
[16:33] ---
    there is an abnormal type
    of magic that flows in this era.
[16:38] ---
    This abnormal magic has no basic elements,
    nor is it made of light or darkness.
[16:44] ---
    It's simply "nothingness."
[16:46] ---
    Nothingness?
[16:48] ---
    Yes.
[16:50] ---
    It's a type of magic that shouldn't exist
    in this era, I suppose you could say.
[16:55] ---
    I went to investigate.
[16:58] ---
    And then...
[17:01] ---
    ...that's when I found it.
[17:05] ---
    The rift in time.
[17:14] ---
    By traveling 400 years into the future,
[17:19] ---
    I believe we caused the natural
    flow of time to warp slightly.
[17:24] ---
    Perhaps it's the very concept
    of time correcting itself...
[17:30] ---
    ...thus giving rise to a power
    beyond our comprehension.
[17:35] ---
    Inside the time rift is literal nothingness.
[17:39] ---
    Nothing can live in it. Nothing can exist in it.
[17:42] ---
    Not even Acnologia.
[17:45] ---
    So you're trying to lure Acnologia
    there and trap him in it?
[17:49] ---
    Yes.
[17:51] ---
    This is all so hard to believe!
[17:55] ---
    Even after all these years, not a single
    other person ever found this time rift?
[18:01] ---
    I kept it hidden.
[18:03] ---
    Is this place really a rift in time?
[18:09] ---
    The Eclipse opened a year ago,
    during the Grand Magic Games.
[18:13] ---
    The hole reacted intensely to it.
    There's no question about it.
[18:18] ---
    Hole?
[18:19] ---
    Indeed. It's normally invisible.
[18:24] ---
    It's about the size of this orange.
[18:27] ---
    But if you accidentally touch it,
    you're done for. You'll be stuck forever.
[18:32] ---
    The plan is extremely simple!
[18:35] ---
    --Hibiki. If you would.
    --Right!
[18:39] ---
    We'll go around the time rift
    and then wait for Acnologia.
[18:45] ---
    When he comes straight for us,
    he'll touch the rift...
[18:49] ---
    ...and go poof, man.
[18:52] ---
    Are you sure it'll be that easy?
[18:55] ---
    It's our only option.
[19:00] ---
    You okay, Lucy?
[19:02] ---
    Yeah... Thanks. Sorry.
[19:06] ---
    You're not gonna talk about destroying
    this book anymore, I hope?
[19:11] ---
    Of course I won't.
[19:13] ---
    I just... didn't know it was
    Natsu's book before.
[19:17] ---
    Hey. Can you try opening the book?
[19:24] ---
    I think I'm starting to understand
    what our First Master was saying earlier.
[19:32] ---
    Only one thing will be
    able to save Natsu then:
[19:35] ---
    the strength of his friends--you.
[19:41] ---
    What worries me is Zeref's--
[19:45] ---
    What I seek isn't something
    as insignificant as that.
[19:51] ---
    What is it, Gray?
[19:53] ---
    Nothing...
[19:55] ---
    No, Zeref won't get his wish.
    Natsu will make sure of it!
[20:00] ---
    Let's open it.
[20:05] ---
    Mm!
[20:12] ---
    Done already, E.N.D.?
[20:15] ---
    You disappoint me!
[20:17] ---
    I was so sure that you,
    if anyone, could destroy me!
[20:24] ---
    It's okay... I can go back to normal...
[20:28] ---
    With Mavis' power, I can go back
    to my original self...
[20:35] ---
    The Neo Eclipse.
[20:41] ---
    I won't go forward or backward in time.
[20:43] ---
    I'm going to start over.
[20:46] ---
    I'm going to reset time...
[20:49] ---
    ...to before I turned immortal.
[20:53] ---
    So that's... been your real goal... all along?!
[21:00] ---
    No one will be hurt.
[21:01] ---
    You can be human again.
[21:04] ---
    We can even kill Acnologia.
[21:07] ---
    There's no happier ending than this!
[21:10] ---
    Tell me, then!
[21:12] ---
    What'll happen to us?! To everyone?!
[21:17] ---
    How would I know?
    This isn't my world anymore.
[21:23] ---
    We're already trying as hard
    as we can to live in this world!
[21:29] ---
    There are two keys to the Neo Eclipse.
[21:33] ---
    One is Mavis.
[21:36] ---
    She's on her way here as we speak.
[21:41] ---
    And the other key is...
[21:45] ---
    ...the rift in time.
[22:01] ---
    At the top of this hill,
    you can look down at the city
[22:08] ---
    I'm sure the person you want to see
    is doing the same
[22:16] ---
    I still remember what you said that day
[22:23] ---
    "I'm fighting for someone."
[22:31] ---
    You even have wounds that will never heal
[22:34] ---
    So you lament that
    we'll never understand each other
[22:38] ---
    and put on such a sad smile
[22:41] ---
    I'll take you to a place where you can fly
    as far and as long as you want
[22:50] ---
    So don't let go of me
[22:57] ---
    If we can accept everything
    and reach that place
[23:05] ---
    then I just know we'll be unbeatable
[23:20] ---
    Acnologia spreads despair
    and wreaks absolute destruction.
[23:25] ---
    Erza and company hurry to the time rift
    to neutralize the threat he poses.
[23:30] ---
    Elsewhere, in Magnolia, Lucy and friends
    prepare to open the Book of E.N.D.
[23:36] ---
    Meanwhile, Zeref quietly smiles
    as his plan to reset time moves forward.
[23:42] ---
    Next Episode: "Blind to Love."
[23:43] ---
    "Blind to Love"
[23:45] ---
    Abiding feelings are ensnared
    by the pure darkness.
