*Humans are foolish.*
**[00:11] ---**
*Humans can't escape the suffering
of life or the terror of death.*
**[00:17] ---**
*But in the Age of Gods,
that pain can be lessened...*
**[00:23] ---**
*because there are things there
that humans can't understand.*
**[00:29] ---**
*You can blame all the bad things
and the crazy things in your life on the gods,*
**[00:35] ---**
*and that makes life easier.*
**[00:38] ---**
*I really thought
that way of life was a good thing.*
**[00:41] ---**
*And I...*
**[00:42] ---**
*am not...*
**[00:50] ---**
*kind to humans at all.*

Fate/Grand Order
Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
**[01:06] ---**
So, that is...
**[01:10] ---**
Ereshkigal!
**[01:12] ---**
That's right.
**[01:17] ---**
Master!
**[01:19] ---**
So frail!
**[01:21] ---**
Simply revealing myself to you
is enough to destroy you.
**[01:25] ---**
You shall despair in your powerlessness!
**[01:29] ---**
I'm not going to despair!
**[01:31] ---**
Ereshkigal!
**[01:34] ---**
I want you to return King Gilgamesh
to the world above!
**[01:40] ---**
And...
**[01:43] ---**
let's save Uruk together!
**[01:47] ---**
Because Ereshkigal...
**[01:50] ---**
you're not an evil goddess!
**[01:54] ---**
My choice will not change.
**[01:56] ---**
Choice?
**[01:58] ---**
Two more days
until Gorgon assaults Uruk.
**[02:03] ---**
Before that, I will conquer Uruk
and seize its Greater Grail.
**[02:08] ---**
I will kill every last human
in Mesopotamia...
**[02:11] ---**
and gather their souls in Kur.
**[02:13] ---**
That can't be!
**[02:15] ---**
Ereshkigal, you're...
**[02:17] ---**
And then, they will all
become my property.
**[02:21] ---**
That is Ereshkigal's very first choice
of her own free will.
**[02:28] ---**
I'm sure...
**[02:29] ---**
you really don't wish for such a thing!
**[02:33] ---**
If you're going to stand in my way...
**[02:43] ---**
Master!
**[02:51] ---**
...I will simply kick you aside!
**[02:54] ---**
Master! Your orders!
**[03:08] ---**
Fujimaru!
**[03:09] ---**
What will you do?
**[03:10] ---**
Now that she's shown herself,
**[03:12] ---**
you won't last long
even if you're wearing a Mystic Code!
**[03:17] ---**
I...
**[03:18] ---**
Master...
**[03:20] ---**
No matter what, I am your Servant!
**[03:27] ---**
I want...
**[03:28] ---**
one more chance to talk to Ereshkigal!
**[03:31] ---**
Mash!
**[03:32] ---**
Yes! I'll make sure to secure your way!
**[03:44] ---**
Master!
**[03:52] ---**
King Gilgamesh!
**[03:54] ---**
I'll lend a hand!
**[03:55] ---**
Oh, it's only the fare to pass through to Kur.
**[03:59] ---**
No, this is the treasure en route!
**[04:01] ---**
Ishtar?
**[04:02] ---**
Jeez, you should help out
from the beginning!
**[04:06] ---**
I'll go, too.
**[04:07] ---**
In your condition?
**[04:09] ---**
To give a gripe or two.
**[04:12] ---**
But you know, Fujimaru...
**[04:14] ---**
I'm betting on you in the end!
**[04:18] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:56] ---**
I shall skewer you!
**[05:00] ---**
I can't get close to her!
**[05:01] ---**
It's that lance!
**[05:03] ---**
Oh?
**[05:05] ---**
If you can deal
with that thing somehow,
**[05:06] ---**
you can get close to her!
**[05:09] ---**
None of you will be able
to escape from here.
**[05:19] ---**
How impudent!
**[05:37] ---**
Mash!
**[05:40] ---**
I shall crush you!
**[05:46] ---**
Attacks of the dead
don't work against me.
**[05:52] ---**
Impossible!
**[05:54] ---**
Mash!
**[05:56] ---**
It's working?
**[05:57] ---**
Though I may be dead
for the time being,
**[05:59] ---**
I can still convict you
under my Royal Authority!
**[06:06] ---**
Ereshkigal!
**[06:08] ---**
Why did you join
the Three Goddess Alliance?
**[06:13] ---**
Have you abandoned your duty
to protect Sumer's people and culture?
**[06:18] ---**
Make no mistake, King of Uruk!
**[06:24] ---**
I am Ereshkigal.
**[06:27] ---**
The one entrusted with the underworld!
**[06:30] ---**
It's my destiny to manage all humans,
all souls within the underworld!
**[06:36] ---**
I have no regret or remorse
for dedicating all I have to that task!
**[06:47] ---**
If so,
**[06:48] ---**
your defeat will serve
as punishment for your sins!
**[06:55] ---**
Punishment?
**[06:59] ---**
I was merely striving to fulfill
my duties as a goddess.
**[07:03] ---**
And you punish me?
**[07:18] ---**
Why...
**[07:21] ---**
Ereshkigal!
**[07:22] ---**
What was this about your
very first choice of your own free will?
**[07:26] ---**
Just because nobody came to visit,
you cooped up down here!
**[07:28] ---**
Shut up.
**[07:29] ---**
And now, you're just taking it out on others!
**[07:30] ---**
To think you're my other half...
**[07:33] ---**
There are limits
to how pathetic you can be!
**[07:35] ---**
Shut up!
**[07:38] ---**
Ishtar!
**[07:39] ---**
Master!
**[07:42] ---**
Do you think so, too?
**[08:03] ---**
Am I mistaken?
**[08:06] ---**
Ereshkigal?
**[08:10] ---**
Entertainment, joy, sadness,
friends to call my own...
**[08:17] ---**
I didn't have any of those...
**[08:19] ---**
while I've managed the souls of the dead
here for a numbingly long time.
**[08:24] ---**
I watched my other half
fly freely through the heavens.
**[08:31] ---**
You accuse me of a crime?
**[08:35] ---**
After all this, you point your finger
and say collecting souls is wrong?
**[08:40] ---**
Is nobody going to commend me
for all the work I've done?
**[08:45] ---**
A job I did all this time by myself.
**[08:50] ---**
Fujimaru...
**[08:55] ---**
I cannot commend you.
**[08:59] ---**
If I commend you,
I will hurt your pride!
**[09:10] ---**
If you're not going to understand me...
**[09:14] ---**
If you're not going to commend me...
**[09:17] ---**
Fujimaru...
**[09:18] ---**
I will kill anyone, even you!
**[09:22] ---**
Mash, let's go!
**[09:23] ---**
Sure!
**[09:25] ---**
We're counting on you.
**[09:27] ---**
A sky without light...
**[09:31] ---**
A surface without reflection...
**[09:34] ---**
Mud without budding flowers!
**[09:37] ---**
There is nothing here! I don't even
understand what the souls are saying!
**[09:46] ---**
Even then, I will...
**[09:49] ---**
create!
**[09:52] ---**
A land of the dead that won't take
a step back from any other world!
**[09:56] ---**
Is that why you dominate over humans?
**[09:58] ---**
That is my choice!
**[10:01] ---**
Ereshkigal, you are a liar!
**[10:03] ---**
You actually are...
**[10:05] ---**
trying to protect humans!
**[10:08] ---**
Mash...
**[10:10] ---**
I order you with a Command Spell!
**[10:12] ---**
Protect Goddess Ereshkigal's dignity...
**[10:16] ---**
her choice...
**[10:18] ---**
and her will...
**[10:24] ---**
...with all your might!
**[10:27] ---**
*Nammu...*
**[10:29] ---**
*Lord...*
**[10:31] ---**
*...Abzu...*
**[10:32] ---**
*...Camelot!*
**[10:41] ---**
*Gugalanna!*
**[10:55] ---**
Impossible!
**[11:00] ---**
To protect you...
**[11:02] ---**
That is my Master's wish!
**[11:04] ---**
And...
**[11:05] ---**
I believe it is the right thing!
**[11:09] ---**
Because that is...
**[11:12] ---**
the path I have chosen!
**[11:16] ---**
My...
**[11:18] ---**
resolve!
**[11:39] ---**
Bemoaning the obligations
you chose to uphold dutifully is evil,
**[11:44] ---**
and to praise that pain
is an insult only to yourself.
**[11:50] ---**
So, that's why Fujimaru will not commend.
**[11:54] ---**
What should be praised
is the triumphs you achieved.
**[11:58] ---**
The pain in your heart is for you alone.
**[12:02] ---**
Well, I can see why you'd feel
that longing to be understood, too.
**[12:15] ---**
We finally meet again.
**[12:17] ---**
So, you are...
**[12:19] ---**
Ereshkigal?
**[12:23] ---**
Why did you think I was lying?
**[12:26] ---**
I mean, you were always
worried about humans.
**[12:31] ---**
So, maybe that's why.
**[12:34] ---**
Besides,
**[12:36] ---**
you came to visit me time and time again.
**[12:39] ---**
And you taught me a lot of things.
**[12:42] ---**
So, I was sure
that you weren't an evil goddess.
**[12:45] ---**
Master, have you already met her before?
**[12:48] ---**
Well, yeah.
**[12:50] ---**
W-W-W-Wait!
You knew all along that it was me?
**[12:56] ---**
I only had a hunch, but...
**[12:58] ---**
Then, how I was acting just now,
about how I'm a fearful goddess...
**[13:03] ---**
I'm sure you had
some sort of reason for it.
**[13:07] ---**
Oh my goodness!
**[13:09] ---**
What a blunder! I can't be
any more pathetic than this!
**[13:12] ---**
Look here!
**[13:15] ---**
Even if you tried
to brush yourself up right now,
**[13:17] ---**
it's obvious that you're an airhead!
**[13:20] ---**
I don't want to hear it from a greedy
goddess blinded by jewels!
**[13:25] ---**
What was that?
**[13:27] ---**
Have you wrapped things up?
**[13:30] ---**
Well, I think so.
**[13:34] ---**
I guess I got all twisted up...
**[13:37] ---**
back when I first met you in Kutha,
and didn't kill you.
**[13:45] ---**
Hey, Fujimaru,
**[13:47] ---**
I—
**[13:58] ---**
Ereshkigal!
**[13:59] ---**
Damn you!
**[14:04] ---**
You're kidding me!
**[14:05] ---**
Calm yourselves.
**[14:07] ---**
Look and see.
**[14:11] ---**
What this sword severed
was not her bond to life,
**[14:16] ---**
but to this misbegotten alliance.
**[14:20] ---**
Can it be?
**[14:23] ---**
I'm stunned!
Didn't you just cut me in half?
**[14:27] ---**
Ereshkigal!
**[14:30] ---**
Wha...
**[14:32] ---**
What's up with this situation?
**[14:36] ---**
Is she all right?
**[14:38] ---**
Who are you, old man?
**[14:41] ---**
I've met you here before!
**[14:44] ---**
It seems fate connects us,
Ritsuka Fujimaru.
**[14:52] ---**
Why...
**[14:53] ---**
did you free me?
**[14:55] ---**
A good question. I have come
from the Abyss to set events in motion.
**[15:03] ---**
I appear here as a friend
from another land.
**[15:07] ---**
Mistress of the underworld...
**[15:09] ---**
The goddess who loved all humans,
each fated to die...
**[15:14] ---**
Death was gentle.
Not a terrible thing in your hands.
**[15:20] ---**
You gave yourself to your duty
in safeguarding the souls in your care.
**[15:24] ---**
You cast your lot with the alliance meaning
to safeguard as many souls as you could,
**[15:29] ---**
protected here in your realm.
**[15:32] ---**
Though none may understand.
**[15:37] ---**
Though you may stand alone
in a sea of souls.
**[15:44] ---**
Yes.
**[15:45] ---**
Protecting this silence
was my pride as a goddess.
**[15:51] ---**
So, that is the real reason
why you joined the Three Goddess Alliance.
**[15:57] ---**
That alliance has already been severed.
**[16:00] ---**
You can do as you wish from hereon.
**[16:06] ---**
And he is now gone.
**[16:08] ---**
Um, what happened just now was...
**[16:11] ---**
It means Ereshkigal has nothing to do
with the Three Goddess Alliance anymore.
**[16:16] ---**
Ereshkigal...
**[16:20] ---**
Let's save Uruk together!
**[16:24] ---**
But there were so many that I...
**[16:28] ---**
The bodies of those who died
from exhaustion are all stored away.
**[16:34] ---**
The population of Kutha is 900,
and there are 300 injured in Uruk.
**[16:38] ---**
That's just 1,200 people in total.
**[16:40] ---**
Such a small number could fit
comfortably beneath the ziggurat.
**[16:48] ---**
Then...
**[16:49] ---**
If you release them
from your soul cages,
**[16:53] ---**
they'll all come right back to life.
**[17:04] ---**
I want you to fight Gorgon with me.
**[17:13] ---**
After all, I am a goddess.
**[17:16] ---**
I-I-I-I shall...
**[17:19] ---**
accept that responsibility.
**[17:21] ---**
It seems like I put you up
for doing this to begin with, too!
**[17:27] ---**
Thank you!
**[17:30] ---**
Then, will you help us, too, Ereshkigal?
**[17:34] ---**
W-Well, yes.
**[17:36] ---**
Master, this means the end
of the Three Goddess Alliance!
**[17:40] ---**
Yep!
**[17:41] ---**
The end result is an achievement
for you, Fujimaru.
**[17:45] ---**
So, does that mean you're going to form
a contract with Fujimaru as a Servant?
**[17:51] ---**
I won't do that for now.
**[17:53] ---**
Really?
**[17:54] ---**
A contract should deal with both parties
equally, in a fair manner.
**[17:59] ---**
So, I have to repay your kindness first.
**[18:02] ---**
Repay my kindness?
**[18:03] ---**
To sum up,
**[18:05] ---**
she'll make a cool entrance when Fujimaru and
the others are in a bind, and repay his kindness first.
**[18:10] ---**
Yes!
**[18:11] ---**
So, when the time comes,
**[18:14] ---**
I hope to do well on that occasion.
**[18:17] ---**
Yeah! We'll love to have you!
**[18:26] ---**
We somehow got through all that!
**[18:29] ---**
Ishtar, you're back to your normal guise.
**[18:32] ---**
The underworld is somewhere
I shouldn't visit after all!
**[18:35] ---**
You helped us a lot by being our guide!
**[18:37] ---**
Now, what should I ask for in return?
**[18:43] ---**
I've always wondered about this,
**[18:46] ---**
but Ishtar...
**[18:48] ---**
What?
**[18:49] ---**
I'm sure you couldn't help but notice
Ereshkigal had a grudge against you.
**[18:54] ---**
Well, yeah.
**[18:55] ---**
So, knowing that, why did you come?
**[18:58] ---**
That's true.
**[19:00] ---**
Because I didn't like
the situation, of course.
**[19:03] ---**
It was the story of how the gods
ordered her to never leave the underworld.
**[19:06] ---**
I had to do something
after hearing a sorry story like that.
**[19:10] ---**
I wanted to tell her, "Just drop your duties
in the underworld and leave!"
**[19:14] ---**
That's why I went to meet her.
To give her that advice.
**[19:17] ---**
The same can be said for this time.
I was able to say what I wanted, so I'm satisfied.
**[19:24] ---**
Wh-What?
**[19:26] ---**
That's so like you, Ishtar!
**[19:29] ---**
Yes.
**[19:31] ---**
I'm sure she told you something
like, "Easier said than done!"
**[19:36] ---**
So what?
**[19:38] ---**
No matter what form, she decided
to leave the underworld! Hey, wait!
**[19:41] ---**
You make me laugh!
**[19:43] ---**
Hey, you! What's up with you there?
**[19:48] ---**
It seems Ereshkigal
has released her hold on my soul.
**[19:52] ---**
So, King Gilgamesh,
will you return straight to Uruk?
**[19:55] ---**
Yeah! Make sure all of you return,
as well, without taking any detours!
**[20:00] ---**
Isn't it unfair that only you
get the easy way back?
**[20:03] ---**
Fool! This is nothing more
than a difference in virtue between us!
**[20:06] ---**
Please be careful!
**[20:08] ---**
We'll see you in Uruk again!
**[20:20] ---**
*So, it's not here after all.*
**[20:27] ---**
*I am a weapon.*
**[20:30] ---**
*I'm nothing more
than one of your countless treasures.*
**[20:34] ---**
*In the future,*
**[20:36] ---**
*you will encounter treasures
more valuable than me.*
**[20:57] ---**
King Gilgamesh!
**[20:59] ---**
That was my third descent
into the underworld.
**[21:02] ---**
How about you get used to it by now?
**[21:06] ---**
We have no time to stand still!
**[21:08] ---**
I surely have many duties piled up!
**[21:11] ---**
Yes!
**[21:14] ---**
Goodbye, Goddess of the Underworld
**[22:53] ---**
So I see.
**[22:55] ---**
Then, Your Majesty, you confirmed it
for yourself that it was nowhere to be found.
**[23:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[23:01] ---**
Enkidu's corpse that should've been buried
in the graveyard of the underworld...
**[23:07] ---**
The relationship between Enkidu
and Ereshkigal was not a bad one.
**[23:10] ---**
He supposedly had been buried
with much courtesy.
**[23:14] ---**
But that corpse was gone.
**[23:16] ---**
Which means...
**[23:18] ---**
It can't be that Kingu is Enkidu himself, right?
**[23:23] ---**
No. Enkidu's soul
was destroyed by the gods.
**[23:29] ---**
Even if the physical body
was actually his,
**[23:33] ---**
that thing is not Enkidu.
