[00:01] ---
    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.
[00:53] ---
    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.
