[00:05] Ten
    Let's do this, you guys!
[00:08] Ten
    Unite Blitz!
[00:13] Ten
    Ah, crud!
[00:15] Ten
    Why can't I do it?!
[00:17] Leii
    Of course you can't, Zero Ten.
[00:19] Leii
    It's only been a few days since you
    got buddy monsters of your own.
[00:24] Arche
    Even we can't do it, and we've been
    with our monsters since we were little.
[00:29] Ten
    If Emero can do it, there's no way I can't!
[00:32] Ten
    I swear I'll pull it off so we
    can take him to see Chica!
[00:37] Lookie-Loo
    Hey, look, settle down.
[00:40] Lookie-Loo
    Soup's ready over there.
[00:42] Ten
    Hey, thanks!
[00:47] Lookie-Loo
    Ten! What's wrong?!
[00:49] Leii
    Way to go, Lookie-Loo.
[00:50] Arche
    That's the super bitter soup
     Chica made for us.
[00:54] Arche
    Gotten a hold of yourself now?
[00:56] Leii
    The Unite Blitz is important,
    but don't forget our job.
[01:01] Anzar
    A Farmagia's primary job
    is to produce monsters
[01:05] Anzar
    and enrich people's lives.
[01:08] Anzar
    The important thing is...
[01:11] Ten
    The important thing is...
    The important thing is...
[01:15] Ten
    Wait, what did he say again?
[01:18] Lookie-Loo
    Look here...
[01:22] Ten
    Emero!
[01:25] Manas
    Wouldn't you like to become
    stronger, Zucchero?
[01:30] Zucchero
    But of course, my lord.
[01:31] Zucchero
    If I may say, if it would help me avenge
    Gâteau and support Master Emero,
[01:37] Zucchero
    then I, Zucchero, would
    be more than happy to—
[01:39] Manas
    Very well.
[01:42] Manas
    Then you shall also assist
    me with my experiments.
[03:18] Ten
    Emero!
SIGN    The Ties That Bind
[03:19] Ten
    Did you decide to come back with us?
[03:22] Emero
    Why are you guys siding
    with that traitor Nares?
[03:28] Arche
    She's no traitor!
[03:29] Arche
    Nares has stepped up to protect
    everyone in Felicidad!
[03:34] Leii
    Yeah, she's trying to do what's right!
[03:37] Emero
    What's "right"?
[03:40] Emero
    Does that include murdering Gâteau?!
[03:42] Arche
    Murder?
[03:43] Ten
    What're you talking about?
[03:45] Emero
    Shut up!
[03:46] Emero
    Salamads!
[03:54] Leii
    Arkies!
[03:57] Arche
    Li'l Turnies!
[03:59] Ten
    Who's Gâteau?!
[04:01] Leii
    We haven't fought anyone
    from Perfectus since last time!
[04:05] Emero
    Don't play innocent!
[04:07] Emero
    Unite Blitz!
[04:14] Ten
    Damn it!
[04:15] Ten
    I-If you don't cut the crap,
    we're gonna get serious, too!
[04:20] Ten
    Unite Blitz!
[04:33] Arche
    Hear us out, Emero!
[04:35] Emero
    Who would listen to Gâteau's murderers?!
[04:39] Ten
    The Dragons of Centvelt's bond is absolute!
[04:42] Ten
    We wouldn't lie to each other!
[04:46] Emero
    Then explain this!
[04:48] Emero
    Behold! These gashes are from a Fang!
[04:51] Emero
    Ten, you killed Gâteau!
[04:54] Arche
    Oh, that earring...
[04:56] Arche
    Is Gâteau that guy who kept saying "verily"?
[04:59] Leii
    Yeah.
[05:00] Ten
    Say what now?
[05:02] Arche
    You know, he was in that weird
    dreamlike thing we saw.
[05:06] Emero
    What are you saying?!
[05:07] Arche
    We fought a demi-beast, and then this
    strange vision popped into our heads.
[05:13] Ten
    Oh! Gâteau was the "gagigugesu" guy!
[05:16] Arche
    And in the vision we saw...
[05:19] (Flashback) Manas
    Gâteau, I will now begin the experiment.
[05:24] (Flashback) Gateau
    Verily, Lord Manas, if I can be
    of use to you and Master Emero!
[05:28] Arche
    It's possible that was a
     memory of the demi-beast's.
[05:33] Emero
    Hmph! There's no way to
    synchronize with a demi-beast.
[05:37] Emero
    Even if you could, what would Gâteau
    and Manas be doing in one's memories?
[05:41] Arche
    That, I don't know.
[05:42] Ten
    But he definitely said "Manas."
[05:44] Leii
    Yeah, he did.
[05:46] Ten
    There were, like, all these
    creepy trees everywhere.
[05:50] Emero
    Trees?
[05:51] Ten
    Weird ones with what looked
    like red caterpillars for fruit.
[05:58] Emero
    How do you know about those?!
[06:01] Arche
    We're telling you we saw it in a vision.
[06:03] Arche
    Something happened to Gâteau there.
[06:06] Leii
    The guy who must be Manas said
    he was beginning an experiment.
[06:11] Manas
    Soldiers searching for the
    intruders came across this.
[06:13] Zucchero
    Lord Manas, as of this month, I can think of
    seven people who had already gone missing.
[06:15] Manas
    Yes. I don't know about the others, but
    Gâteau was apparently killed by a monster.
[06:23] Ten
    Hey, wait up!
[06:25] Ten
    Emero!
[06:29] soldier 1
    Master Emero!
[06:30] soldier 2
    I apologize.
[06:32] soldier 2
    Lord Manas has ordered
    that no one be allowed in.
[06:36] Emero
    Move it!
[06:40] Ten
    Where the heck did Emero go?
[06:48] Emero
    Manas!
[06:49] Emero
    Where are you, Manas?!
[06:51] Ten
    Emero!
[06:53] Leii
    Is this...
[06:55] Arche
    The place we saw in that vision?
[06:58] Emero
    Manas! Manas!
[07:00] Zucchero
    M-Master... Emero...
[07:03] Emero
    Zucchero! What happened?!
[07:12] Zucchero
    H-Help... Help me...
[07:15] Zucchero
    M-Master E-Emero...
[07:20] Ten
    What happened to him?
[07:21] Lookie-Loo
    His aura has the look of a demi-beast's!
[07:24] Arche
    A demi-beast's?
[07:26] Leii
    What's going on here?
[07:27] Manas
    It's an experiment.
[07:29] Emero
    Manas!
[07:30] Manas
    It would appear he hasn't fed enough.
[07:33] Manas
    I will therefore assist.
[07:38] Zucchero
    P-Please spare me, Lord Manas...
[07:45] Arche
    He's synchronizing and taking control!
[07:47] Emero
    Stop!
[07:51] Ten
    Emero!
[07:53] Zucchero
    I don't want this... I don't!
[08:02] Emero
    Manas! What the hell have you done?!
[08:04] Manas
    It's called feeding.
[08:05] Leii
    Feeding?
[08:07] Manas
    By forcefully synchronizing with
    a monster and absorbing its soul,
[08:13] Manas
    a Farmagia can progress further.
[08:15] Arche
    Absorbing a monster's soul?
[08:18] Manas
    Yes. The more a Farmagia feeds,
     the stronger they become.
[08:23] Manas
    Eventually you surpass your limits
    and become as a supreme being...
[08:27] Manas
    The Farmagia Hyperion!
[08:30] Leii
    Farmagia Hyperion?
[08:32] Ten
    What's that?
[08:33] Emero
    Did you do this to Gâteau, too?!
[08:35] Manas
    Gâteau's experiment was a failure.
[08:38] Manas
    I thought he might yet prove useful
    in provoking your fighting spirit,
[08:43] Manas
    but he was useless to the very end.
[08:47] Zucchero
    Emero...
[08:49] Zucchero
    Please help me...
[08:51] Zucchero
    Emero... E-Emero...
[08:57] Emero
    Zucchero!
[09:10] Manas
    Hmph, another failed experiment.
[09:13] Manas
    As a Farmagia keeps feeding,
    they eventually become mindless Lost,
[09:17] Manas
    morphing into a Reaper. Or a "demi-beast,"
    as the rest of you call them.
[09:26] Manas
    To find a way to prevent this,
[09:29] Manas
    I've performed a series of
    experiments using these Myosotises.
[09:32] Leii
    A series of them? You mean...
[09:34] Arche
    Including the demi-beast that attacked
    us in the forest yesterday?!
[09:37] Emero
    Some of our soldiers have
    vanished while on duty.
[09:41] Emero
    Were they all...
[09:42] Manas
    Yes, I used them for my experiments.
[09:45] Emero
    When you told me you wanted a
    well-ordered world, was that all a lie?!
[09:50] Manas
    It's no lie.
[09:52] Manas
    My pursuing a Farmagia's true form
[09:55] Manas
    and becoming a supreme being is,
     in fact, all for the people.
[09:59] Manas
    Once I obtain utmost power and rule the
    world, it will indeed be well-ordered!
[10:08] Emero
    Was the demi-beast that attacked
    me and Chica in Avrion one of yours?
[10:13] Manas
    I have performed experiments
    on all five continents.
[10:17] Manas
    All who exist in this world
[10:20] Manas
    are nothing more than test subjects
    to help me reach new heights.
[10:24] Ten
    Arche!
[10:39] Emero
    Zucchero!
[10:55] Ten
    Emero...
[10:58] Ten
    Those two guys were your pals, weren't they?
[11:03] Ten
    You're my pal! And any pals
     of yours are my pals, too!
[11:09] Ten
    Nobody hurts my pals...
[11:12] Ten
    and gets away with it!
[11:17] Emero
    Ten...
[11:30] Emero
    Manas!
[11:36] Manas
    Emero, I sincerely value you.
[11:41] Manas
    You're different from other denizens.
[11:44] Manas
    Build a new future with me.
[11:48] Emero
    If we have to sacrifice
    others for that future,
[11:51] Emero
    I want no part of it!
[11:54] Manas
    You think you can beat me?
[11:56] Emero
    You're the one who taught me!
[11:58] Emero
    The only way to find out is to try!
[12:01] Manas
    Very well, then.
[12:03] Manas
    It just occurred to me that traitors
    would make for perfect test subjects.
[12:11] Manas
    I will reach it.
[12:13] Manas
    After so much failure and hopelessness,
[12:16] Manas
    I'll reach the Hyperion summit!
[12:19] Ten
    What's he doing?
[12:20] Lookie-Loo
    I see his aura changin'!
[12:27] Leii
    He's...
[12:29] Leii
    turned into a freaking demi-beast!
[12:31] Manas Reaper
    Everything is an experiment.
[12:33] Manas Reaper
    Science, war, life...
[12:36] Manas Reaper
    Now, let us begin the experiment!
[12:50] Emero
    Unite Blitz!
[13:17] Emero
    Salamander!
[13:20] Leii
    H-He's strong.
[13:22] Manas Reaper
    This doesn't even amount to an experiment.
[13:25] Ten
    Damn it!
[13:26] Ten
    Fankichi, Fanzo, Fantaro!
[13:32] Ten
    Unite Blitz!
[13:36] Manas Reaper
    Hmph.
[13:37] Manas Reaper
    An ordinary Farmagia can't
    possibly perform a Unite Blitz!
[13:44] Emero
    Ten!
[13:45] Manas Reaper
    Emero.
[13:47] Manas Reaper
    You can do it. You're special.
[13:50] Manas Reaper
    You have what it takes to walk by my side.
[13:57] (Flashback) Manas
    In order to become the Hyperion,
[13:59] (Flashback) Manas
    I've sacrificed many denizens and monsters
    over the course of my experiments.
[14:06] (Flashback) Manas
    Someday I will need to use
    myself as a test subject.
[14:10] (Flashback) Manas
    Emero, you will become a test subject, too.
[14:15] (Flashback) Manas
    You've obeyed me and developed quite well.
[14:19] (Flashback) Manas
    With you around, my research
    will make dramatic progress.
[14:23] (Flashback) Manas
    At the conclusion of these
    extensive experiments,
[14:26] (Flashback) Manas
    one of us will finally be the Hyperion!
[14:33] Emero
    Experiments? The Hyperion?
[14:37] Emero
    You raised me for crap like that?
[14:42] Emero
    That's why you've done all this?!
[14:46] Manas Reaper
    Hmph. I was thinking of letting you live,
[14:49] Manas Reaper
    but you leave me no choice!
[14:53] Ten
    Emero!
[14:55] Manas Reaper
    Then again, even your corpse will be
    useful for experiments if it's intact.
[15:00] Manas Reaper
    But first, I'll dispose of this trash that
    won't even suffice as test subjects.
[15:07] Leii
    I-Is this where it ends?
[15:09] Ten
    Damn it!
[15:14] Leii
    Arkies...
[15:15] Arche
    Li'l Turnies...
[15:17] Ten
    You guys...
[15:18] Anzar
    The important thing is our
    trust in one another.
[15:22] Anzar
    The more strongly our mutually
    trusting hearts synchronize,
[15:26] Anzar
    the better they can use their abilities.
[15:28] Anzar
    Whether you can beat
    Zanas or the Oración Seis
[15:31] Anzar
    all depends on how strong of a mutual
    trust you can build with your Fangs.
[15:36] Ten
    Oh, yeah. That's right.
[15:39] Ten
    All I could think about was how
    I can't perform a Unite Blitz.
[15:43] Ten
    How I've got to bring Emero back.
[15:45] Ten
    But...
[15:47] Ten
    that's not what it's about!
[15:51] Ten
    Fankichi.
[15:55] Ten
    Fanzo.
[15:56] Ten
    Fantaro.
[15:58] Ten
    Please, fight alongside me.
[16:01] Ten
    For everyone's sake!
[16:04] Lookie-Loo
    What are you, blind?
[16:06] Lookie-Loo
    This is Fantaro, this is Fankichi,
    and this is Fanzo, see.
[16:11] Ten
    What?! For real?!
[16:13] Ten
    Um, so this is Zo, this is Kichi, and... Taro...
[16:20] Ten
    Anyway!
[16:21] Ten
    Let's take this jerk down together!
[16:24] Manas Reaper
    Getting chummy with monsters? How foolish.
[16:27] Ten
    A Farmagia produces and nurtures life!
[16:30] Manas Reaper
    No, we produce and harvest life.
[16:34] Manas Reaper
    That is what makes us Reapers!
[16:37] Ten
    You're wrong!
[16:39] Ten
    Life is... Monsters are our friends!
[16:42] Ten
    Fankichi! Fanzo! Fantaro!
[16:46] Arche
    No way!
[16:48] Ten
    Unite Blitz!
[17:03] Manas Reaper
    What?!
[17:04] Arche
    He pulled off a Unite Blitz?!
[17:07] Leii
    Seriously?
[17:08] Ten
    Wow!
[17:10] Ten
    Oh, um...
[17:13] Ten
    When Fangs do a Unite Blitz,
    they're called a Cerberus, see.
SIGN    Cerberus
[17:18] Ten
    Okay!
[17:19] Ten
    Get 'em, General Cerbe!
[17:24] Emero
    We can't let them have all the glory.
[17:26] Emero
    Let's go!
[17:29] Manas Reaper
    The nerve...
[17:36] Manas Reaper
    How dare you?!
[17:46] Ten
    Good one, General Cerbe!
[17:48] Arche
    Wow...
[17:50] Manas Reaper
    You think pulling off a
    Unite Blitz means anything?
[17:57] Manas Reaper
    You're nothing but an ordinary Farmagia!
[18:11] Ten
    We're strong!
[18:16] Manas Reaper
    No!
[18:31] Manas Reaper
    This power... It can't be!
[18:33] Ten
    This is the bond between
    the Dragons of Centvelt!
[18:38] Manas Reaper
    Are you two—
[19:03] Emero
    Manas.
[19:05] Manas
    Emero...
[19:07] Manas
    You and I...
[19:09] Manas
    could have reached...
[19:12] Manas
    the Hyperion summit...
[19:27] Ten
    Thanks a lot.
[19:29] Ten
    Let's see...
[19:31] Ten
    Fankichi. Fantaro. Fanzo.
[19:37] Lookie-Loo
    Look who got it right!
[19:38] Ten
    Heck yeah!
[19:40] Arche
    Looks like you've gotten
     pretty used to dogs, Ten.
[19:47] Ten
    Dogs!
[19:48] Arche
    Or not...
[19:48] Ten
    Stay away, dogs!
[19:59] Chica
    Emero is still alive?
[20:01] Dentro
    Chica!
[20:04] Chica
    I'm so glad...
[20:05] Chica
    I'm so glad!
[20:06] Dentro
    So, where is Emero?
[20:10] Arche
    Well...
[20:12] (Flashback) Ten
    Emero, I'm sorry.
[20:14] (Flashback) Ten
    I killed someone who was a good pal of yours.
[20:18] (Flashback) Emero
    You didn't know. What's done is done.
[20:23] (Flashback) Emero
    Besides, there was probably
    no way of saving him.
[20:26] (Flashback) Emero
    Other than killing him, that is.
[20:30] (Flashback) Ten
    Emero, let's go back to Avrion!
[20:33] (Flashback) Ten
    Chica's waiting for you!
[20:35] (Flashback) Emero
    Give me a little time to think.
[20:41] (Flashback) Ten
    Emero!
[20:42] (Flashback) Ten
    We'll be going to Rahatluk next!
[20:47] Ten
    Sorry we couldn't bring him with us.
[20:50] Arche
    But he's sure to come back, Chica.
[20:54] Chica
    Yeah! Thank you!
[20:57] Nares
    Still, I'm surprised Manas was
    conducting feeding experiments.
[21:02] Ten
    What is this whole "feeding" thing?
[21:06] Nares
    Feeding is a special
    synchronization technique
[21:09] Nares
    the former Magus taught exclusively
    to the Oración Seis.
[21:14] Nares
    You forcefully synchronize with a monster
[21:17] Nares
    and absorb its soul into your body,
    making yourself stronger.
[21:21] Nares
    You are then capable of transforming
    into a more monstrous form of your own.
[21:25] Leii
    So that's how Manas assumed that form.
[21:29] Chica
    Can you do it, too, Miss Nares?
[21:30] Nares
    I was taught, yes.
[21:32] Nares
    But I can't stand the thought of
    forcefully assimilating another's soul.
[21:37] Nares
    I've never actually performed it.
[21:40] Ten
    Oh, Manas was talking
     about something else, too...
[21:43] Ten
    What's the Farmagia High Protein?
[21:46] Lookie-Loo
    "The Farmagia Hyperion."
[21:49] Nares
    A Farmagia who has surpassed Farmagia.
[21:53] Nares
    The former Magus encouraged
    the Oración Seis to aspire to it,
[21:59] Nares
    but not even His Majesty knew
    what sort of being it might be
[22:03] Nares
    or what must be done to become one.
[22:06] Nares
    It is the ideal existence, so to speak.
[22:09] Ten
    If nobody knows, then there's no way to do it.
[22:12] Nares
    True enough.
[22:14] Nares
    At any rate, we're done
    conquering Perfectus.
[22:18] Nares
    Next is Rahatluk.
[22:22] Ten
    Arche?!
