[00:05] ---
    Ana!
[00:09] ---
    Welcome back, Fujimaru.
[00:12] ---
    Merlin, you're still alive, too.
[00:14] ---
    That's good.
[00:15] ---
    We have returned, Ana.
[00:18] ---
    Oh, your hood!
[00:21] ---
    Oh?
[00:22] ---
    Unlike usual,
[00:24] ---
    it's as if flowers are blooming today.
[00:27] ---
    U-Um...
[00:29] ---
    A-Anyway, the king is waiting for you!
    Let's hurry over to the ziggurat!
[00:39] ---
    Let's have our strategy meeting
    for the Gorgon attack!
[02:15] ---
    Now, everyone,
[02:16] ---
    let's get up to speed
    on the current situation.
[02:19] ---
    Currently, all remaining forces
    have gathered at Uruk's Northern Wall...
[02:24] ---
    to prepare for the imminent invasion
    of Gorgon's main army.
[02:27] ---
    Meanwhile, the Demonic Beasts
    have gathered in the Cedar Forest.
[02:31] ---
    Their numbers are over ten times
    the size of our force.
[02:33] ---
    That's right. Humanity cannot win
    in this situation.
[02:37] ---
    That means the only thing we can do
    is attack their base.
[02:41] ---
    So, we're going to head out
    into their field again.
[02:44] ---
    Right.
[02:45] ---
    We of Uruk will buy you some time,
    half a day, at the Northern Wall.
[02:51] ---
    While we do that, you conquer
    Gorgon's base, the Blood Fort.
[02:57] ---
    That should give us the chance
    we need to defeat Gorgon.
[03:01] ---
    But do we really expect
    everything to go to plan?
[03:04] ---
    First of all, how are you going to destroy
    the Blood Fort?
[03:07] ---
    That's where the Axe of Marduk comes in.
[03:11] ---
    It should be able to destroy the Blood Fort
    and carve a path through to the inside.
[03:16] ---
    A mysterious Servant...
[03:18] ---
    calling herself the "Black Jaguar Parcel Service"
    delivered the Axe of Marduk to us already.
[03:22] ---
    We sent it directly to the Northern Wall.
[03:25] ---
    Still, there's a slight problem.
[03:28] ---
    If that giant axe
    is being delivered like that,
[03:30] ---
    the Demonic Beasts would most likely
    shoot them down midway.
[03:33] ---
    Then, we should throw it.
[03:36] ---
    What surprises you so much?
[03:38] ---
    You can do that much,
    Sun Goddess, can't you?
[03:42] ---
    Is it 30 kilometers
    from the Northern Wall to the temple?
[03:45] ---
    Well, if it's just throwing the axe,
    I can do it, yes.
[03:47] ---
    You can do it?
[03:50] ---
    Still, it's no use.
[03:52] ---
    I mean, the alliance rules are still in effect.
[03:54] ---
    Oh, the rule where members are forbidden
    from attacking each other...
[03:59] ---
    Any goddess who breaks the pact
    would be completely annihilated, yes!
[04:03] ---
    Ah, um...
[04:05] ---
    The answer is... I'll take care of it!
[04:08] ---
    You will? Will you do something
    with Magecraft?
[04:11] ---
    Oh no, all I can do is maybe levitate it a little
    and just drop it, but that's about it.
[04:17] ---
    So, how about a plan like this?
[04:19] ---
    First, Fujimaru and I sneak
    into the Cedar Forest and head to the temple.
[04:23] ---
    Once we're close enough to the temple,
[04:26] ---
    I'll give you the signal,
    and you just throw the axe to me.
[04:30] ---
    Okay, so let me just take a bit of this blue cloth
    from my staff, and... Wrap this around the axe.
[04:35] ---
    The cloth and my staff
    are one and the same.
[04:38] ---
    I'll take care of the rest somehow.
[04:41] ---
    That will work, yes!
[04:43] ---
    If I don't act against the temple,
[04:46] ---
    it won't breach the contract of the alliance,
    either. Are you okay with that, King?
[04:50] ---
    I hate to rely on Merlin,
    but that's a good middle ground.
[04:55] ---
    You have no objections, Fujimaru?
[04:58] ---
    Right, then, let's go through this
    one last time!
[05:02] ---
    Fujimaru's party will utilize
    the diversion at the Northern Wall
[05:05] ---
    and make their way
    through the Cedar Forest.
[05:07] ---
    Upon arrival at the Blood Fort,
    at Merlin's signal,
[05:11] ---
    Quetzalcoatl will throw
    the Axe of Marduk to him.
[05:14] ---
    Merlin will receive the Axe
    and smash the temple open!
[05:18] ---
    There,
[05:19] ---
    you will infiltrate the fortress,
    face the goddess Gorgon and win!
[05:24] ---
    I shall call this "Operation Marduk Blitz"!
[05:28] ---
    Keep in mind,
[05:29] ---
    the fate of the Northern Wall
    rests on this battle!
[05:37] ---
    Then, is this farewell, King Gilgamesh?
[05:43] ---
    By defeating Gorgon,
    the King of Mages' Grail will be retrieved,
[05:47] ---
    and this era won't collapse.
[05:49] ---
    And the job you gave us ends there.
[05:54] ---
    Indeed.
[05:55] ---
    Impressive you held out for this long.
[05:58] ---
    Be well...
[06:00] ---
    until this world's end,
    Mage of Flowers.
[06:04] ---
    If your legend is to remain,
[06:08] ---
    I'll see you again in the distant future.
[06:22] ---
    This is going to be
    our farewell with everyone.
[06:26] ---
    It makes me happy, but also a bit sad.
[06:29] ---
    You're right.
[06:31] ---
    We've never talked so much with so many
    different people as we have in this trip.
[06:35] ---
    This time we stayed in one place
    for a long time.
[06:39] ---
    I guess it's farewell to the embassy.
[06:42] ---
    Yes.
[06:43] ---
    I would've liked to clean up in the end.
[06:46] ---
    But we need to head
    to the Northern Wall soon.
[06:52] ---
    There we go.
[06:56] ---
    Thank you so much.
[06:58] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
    What brings you here?
[07:02] ---
    You know that little girl?
[07:05] ---
    I wanted to give thanks to her.
[07:07] ---
    Give thanks?
[07:08] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[07:10] ---
    I'm rather stubborn, you see.
[07:13] ---
    I kept my flower shop open, pretending
    not to hear my family's opposition.
[07:18] ---
    But then, that girl came to help me out.
[07:22] ---
    Sometimes these blind eyes
    can feel the light.
[07:27] ---
    The past few days,
    I felt like I was young again.
[07:32] ---
    But then, I, too, was hit by that illness.
[07:37] ---
    My family had given up.
    They had tried to let me depart.
[07:42] ---
    But that girl...
[07:46] ---
    This old lady is still alive!
[07:49] ---
    So, please don't bury her!
[07:54] ---
    That must be why.
[07:56] ---
    I started to feel like I could live a bit longer.
[08:01] ---
    When I woke up,
    she was right at my side.
[08:06] ---
    And I was so surprised!
[08:09] ---
    Such a waste to hide it under cloth!
[08:12] ---
    She would become
    the most beautiful girl in town,
[08:16] ---
    and that's why she should
    keep her head up.
[08:19] ---
    But I should have at least
    given her a floral headpiece.
[08:24] ---
    So, I wanted to give this to her...
[08:27] ---
    to say thanks for everything.
[08:30] ---
    Thank you so much.
[08:31] ---
    Thank you for being kind to Ana.
[08:34] ---
    I'm sure she was happy
    to have met someone like you, too!
[08:38] ---
    Well, then my long life was worth living.
[08:43] ---
    Even though I'm an old woman
    whose time is almost up,
[08:46] ---
    I was able to help someone else again.
[08:58] ---
    Merlin!
[08:59] ---
    Aren't you getting a bit tired?
[09:01] ---
    I'll take over here,
    so why don't you get some sleep?
[09:06] ---
    You ask if I sleep or not?
[09:09] ---
    Oh, right, I never told you
    all the little Merlin trivia.
[09:13] ---
    Things like that?
[09:15] ---
    I don't know much about you
    to begin with, Merlin.
[09:19] ---
    Talking about myself is troublesome,
[09:21] ---
    so, normally, I either stay silent
    or lie my way out.
[09:24] ---
    Well, the journey can be awfully boring.
[09:28] ---
    How about this?
    You can ask me one question.
[09:32] ---
    Just this one time, I'll answer
    anything you want to know.
[09:35] ---
    Then,
[09:36] ---
    why did you decide
    to serve King Gilgamesh?
[09:38] ---
    Oh, that.
[09:40] ---
    Well, truth be told, King Gilgamesh
    and myself are very similar in nature.
[09:46] ---
    Neither he nor I have any attachments
    to humans themselves.
[09:51] ---
    He's an adjudicator who tries
    to keep humans on a fair scale.
[09:55] ---
    That's why he protects mankind,
    but he doesn't favor individuals.
[10:00] ---
    On the other hand, I'm just a spectator.
[10:03] ---
    I don't ever become an ally.
[10:05] ---
    Mankind or individuals...
    It's all just somebody else's business.
[10:10] ---
    But you both seem to like humans.
[10:15] ---
    You really are cheeky enough
    to say things like that!
[10:18] ---
    Well, I won't deny it.
[10:21] ---
    We both like humans.
[10:24] ---
    You don't have an attachment to humans,
[10:26] ---
    but you still like humans.
    Isn't that a contradiction?
[10:29] ---
    Well, it's just a difference in perspective.
[10:33] ---
    King Gilgamesh thinks that the things
    humans create have meaning.
[10:38] ---
    On the other hand,
[10:39] ---
    I'm interested in the end of mankind.
[10:42] ---
    I continue to survive
    just so I can witness that.
[10:46] ---
    Well, it just means we're both inhuman.
[10:51] ---
    I'm a mix between an incubus and a human.
[10:54] ---
    I studied humans,
    but I still couldn't understand them.
[10:58] ---
    No matter how far I get,
    it's always someone's dream.
[11:07] ---
    However, there's happiness
    even for someone like me.
[11:10] ---
    A unique purpose that only I have.
[11:13] ---
    And that is?
[11:14] ---
    A happy ending for mankind, of course.
[11:19] ---
    In mankind's final moments,
[11:21] ---
    I want to see
    the very last human's dream.
[11:26] ---
    Humans are foolish.
    Truly flawed creatures.
[11:30] ---
    But the history you create is beautiful.
[11:34] ---
    No matter what kind of end
    humanity faces,
[11:37] ---
    your history will be worth
    leaving in this universe.
[11:46] ---
    Good evening!
[11:49] ---
    Aren't you going to sleep, Ana?
[11:51] ---
    I can't sleep, so I'm resting here.
[11:55] ---
    What about you, Fujimaru?
    Don't you need to sleep?
[11:58] ---
    Well, I'm thinking
    of staying up until morning.
[12:02] ---
    Thank you.
[12:04] ---
    I think that's what's so great
    about you, Fujimaru.
[12:09] ---
    You've never asked me
    anything until now.
[12:13] ---
    For you.
[12:15] ---
    She said you'll become
    the most beautiful girl in town.
[12:19] ---
    This is...
[12:21] ---
    from that old lady.
[12:24] ---
    That old lady was protecting shriveled flowers
    inside that dark and dreary house of hers.
[12:30] ---
    She told me so many stories.
[12:33] ---
    Even though she couldn't see
    anymore, she was at peace.
[12:38] ---
    We ate butter cake together.
[12:42] ---
    She asked if it was delicious...
[12:44] ---
    even though she couldn't
    taste anything anymore.
[12:48] ---
    It was probably really delicious to her.
[12:54] ---
    I dislike humans.
[12:57] ---
    But they are very warm.
[13:00] ---
    The city of Uruk was like a dream for me.
[13:03] ---
    I wanted humans to be nice to me.
[13:05] ---
    I wanted to be nice to humans.
[13:07] ---
    That is how I wanted it to be.
    That is what my old self wanted.
[13:13] ---
    Fujimaru, perhaps you probably know
    the truth about me already.
[13:19] ---
    Yes.
[13:20] ---
    It's the dream the adult me...
    the grown-up me can no longer remember.
[13:28] ---
    But I can't accept this after all.
[13:31] ---
    That old lady's grandchild was killed
    by Demonic Beasts at this Northern Wall.
[13:41] ---
    Let's depart at sunrise and defeat Gorgon.
[13:45] ---
    That's why I am here.
[13:48] ---
    Still, this journey changed
    my reason for fighting.
[13:52] ---
    Before, I was only fighting for myself.
[13:56] ---
    But now...
[13:58] ---
    I'm fighting for the people of Uruk, too.
[14:05] ---
    So, feel free to use me as you like,
    child of humanity.
[14:10] ---
    As long as it's for your tale,
[14:14] ---
    the one long history
    that'll one day be complete,
[14:17] ---
    I'm willing to dedicate
    my body and soul.
[14:26] ---
    Next set incoming!
[14:28] ---
    Third wave, get ready!
[14:29] ---
    Now's the time to make use
    of King Leonidas' teachings!
[14:41] ---
    Wait a minute, doesn't the unit
    in charge of diversion have a harder time?
[14:48] ---
    This is only the tip of the iceberg!
[14:50] ---
    Looks like the real deal's here!
[14:56] ---
    I was wondering who it was,
    but it's just you, Quetzalcoatl.
[14:59] ---
    The fact that you're here...
[15:02] ---
    means that it's safe to assume
    the Three Goddess Alliance fell apart.
[15:05] ---
    That's unfortunate!
[15:10] ---
    Kingu!
[15:25] ---
    A fake?
[16:01] ---
    Was that most of the remaining
    Demonic Beasts?
[16:05] ---
    Merlin! I'm picking up giant signs
    of Divinity from 300 meters ahead!
[16:10] ---
    It's the Blood Fort!
[16:11] ---
    Send the signal to Quetzalcoatl!
[16:14] ---
    All right, leave it to me!
[16:17] ---
    Abracadabra!
[16:24] ---
    Playtime is over, Kingu!
[16:34] ---
    Wha... The Axe of Marduk?
[17:04] ---
    Something that large
    won't do you any good!
[17:09] ---
    Here it comes.
[17:10] ---
    Over here!
[17:13] ---
    Merlin?
[17:15] ---
    - Merlin!
    - Whoops! My hand just slipped.
[17:17] ---
    Hey!
[17:25] ---
    I had no intention to hit you
    from the beginning!
[17:28] ---
    That giant swing
    was merely to pass the axe on!
[17:31] ---
    Suicidaaa...
[17:34] ---
    Gorgon's Divinity is falling.
[17:37] ---
    Did the axe destroy the temple?
[17:39] ---
    Dammit!
[17:41] ---
    That little goddess isn't here!
[17:44] ---
    Looks like you get to live
    a bit longer, Quetzalcoatl!
[17:46] ---
    I'll take care of you
    after I save Gorgon!
[17:51] ---
    Oh no! Kuku's Divinity
    has dropped by over half!
[17:56] ---
    You broke the goddesses' pact,
[17:58] ---
    but maybe you got away with this much
    because you didn't really mean to.
[18:01] ---
    How dare you do this, Merlin?
[18:04] ---
    But that was unexpected.
[18:06] ---
    Kingu... Perhaps in his own way, he was...
[18:17] ---
    This is...
[18:25] ---
    It's better not to look.
[18:27] ---
    It really isn't a pleasant sight.
[18:29] ---
    Wait! These are...
[18:30] ---
    Mash...
[18:32] ---
    But they're alive!
[18:35] ---
    They've changed, but they're all still—
[18:37] ---
    Mash!
[18:39] ---
    Let's go!
[18:44] ---
    We're going to kill Gorgon.
[18:46] ---
    To desire something more productive
    than humans to get revenge on them...
[18:51] ---
    That defeats the whole point.
[18:53] ---
    I'll take you there.
[18:55] ---
    I'm sorry, Mash.
[18:56] ---
    I know it's difficult, but please lend me
    your power to defeat Gorgon.
[19:10] ---
    This is the deepest part of Blood Fort.
[19:13] ---
    Where are you, Gorgon? Show yourself!
[19:37] ---
    I was wondering who.
[19:39] ---
    Well, if it isn't the little insects I let go...
[19:43] ---
    You're the one who did all this!
[19:45] ---
    Why? You said you'd take revenge
    on humanity!
[19:48] ---
    But how can that connect
    to all the acts you've committed?
[19:52] ---
    Of course they connect
    because I'm going to destroy humans.
[19:59] ---
    I will destroy Uruk,
    trample all humans...
[20:03] ---
    and die myself.
[20:06] ---
    Vengeance is exactly
    what fuels my actions.
[20:09] ---
    That's why I'll destroy everything.
[20:13] ---
    It seems this girl doesn't know
    how ugly the world is.
[20:19] ---
    I-It's...
[20:20] ---
    Ritsuka Fujimaru...
[20:22] ---
    I'm sure you understand my logic.
[20:27] ---
    If you embrace my purpose,
[20:29] ---
    I will keep you as my Master.
[20:32] ---
    You have no reason
    to fight for the people of this time.
[20:38] ---
    Gorgon...
[20:40] ---
    You are indeed a creation of mankind.
[20:43] ---
    But...
[20:44] ---
    I refuse to accept you!
[20:47] ---
    Your words are empty!
[20:50] ---
    That twisted form of yours
    is a reflection of your own heart!
[20:54] ---
    You're just a fake who became
    a goddess with the Grail's power.
[20:58] ---
    First of all,
[20:59] ---
    Mother didn't need other creatures
    to create Demonic Beasts anyway.
[21:03] ---
    She'd never do something as half-assed...
[21:06] ---
    as use the people she wanted
    revenge on to get her revenge.
[21:10] ---
    Gorgon...
[21:12] ---
    You're just a monster
    who's lost sight of who she truly is.
[21:18] ---
    Why you...
[21:19] ---
    Why do I feel so cold?
[21:21] ---
    My mind is going...
[21:23] ---
    What's going on, Kingu?
[21:26] ---
    Get that ugly monster out of this temple!
[21:31] ---
    I knew it. You can't see me, can you?
[21:34] ---
    If only you'd tried at least a little,
[21:37] ---
    there may still have been
    some chance of saving you.
[21:42] ---
    Are you okay with this, Ana?
[21:44] ---
    Yes.
[21:45] ---
    I've always told myself
    that I shouldn't live.
[21:52] ---
    It's wrong for me to be here.
    It's wrong for me to smile.
[21:57] ---
    But actually, I wanted to live!
[22:01] ---
    I wanted to be here.
[22:02] ---
    I wanted to smile.
[22:05] ---
    She was the result of that. As was I.
[22:10] ---
    Thank you for helping me
    see that, Fujimaru.
[22:16] ---
    I see.
[22:17] ---
    Are you ready, Ana?
[22:20] ---
    It will unleash the Divinity
    you've held back this whole time.
