[00:16] ---
Are those the Demonic Beasts from earlier?
[00:19] ---
No, that's not all.
[00:22] ---
To the north, there are Magical Energy
readings of magnitude greater!
[00:25] ---
Unbelievable.
[00:27] ---
Is that castle wall keeping them in check?
[00:30] ---
Too early to be surprised.
[00:32] ---
They have been holding that wall
for six months already.
[00:37] ---
S-Six months?
[00:39] ---
The soldiers have been driving back
an endless onslaught of Demonic Beasts.
[00:44] ---
But the humans suffer fewer casualties
than the Demonic Beasts.
[00:48] ---
- Indeed.
- Yes.
[00:50] ---
There are way more Demonic Beasts
than the soldiers, though.
[00:54] ---
I wonder what kind of person
is in command of that fortress.
[00:59] ---
The person must be
a brilliant general at the helm.
[01:05] ---
But they shed needless blood.
[01:09] ---
They don't need to kill every one of them.
[01:12] ---
They will go extinct
without even doing anything anyway.
[01:16] ---
Enkidu?
[02:53] ---
We are almost at the safe zone.
[02:55] ---
We should be able to make it
to Uruk by sunset.
[03:00] ---
But Enkidu,
[03:02] ---
we seem to be going
farther away from Uruk.
[03:05] ---
There is a wharf at the river up ahead.
[03:09] ---
There is a boat docked there.
[03:11] ---
Once we get to the wharf,
all we have to do is take it downstream.
[03:13] ---
Oh my!
[03:15] ---
I didn't know that!
[03:17] ---
Hey, hello.
[03:19] ---
Sorry to scare you.
[03:21] ---
I'm not an enemy, so hear me out.
[03:25] ---
As you can see, we didn't know our way
through these trails and got lost.
[03:30] ---
I didn't expect to see humans in the territory
of the Goddess of Demonic Beasts.
[03:35] ---
That is unfortunate.
[03:37] ---
We're heading to Uruk.
Will you come with us?
[03:41] ---
Of course! That would help us.
[03:43] ---
Some strange fate
must have brought us together.
[03:46] ---
Can you tell us your name?
[03:50] ---
I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru.
[03:51] ---
My name is Mash Kyrielight.
[03:55] ---
This is Enkidu.
[03:59] ---
Enkidu?
[04:03] ---
That's a problem.
[04:07] ---
A big problem.
[04:08] ---
Why?
[04:10] ---
Because King Gilgamesh,
who is commanding the front line in Uruk,
[04:15] ---
is the king who returned from his quest
for the herb of immortality.
[04:19] ---
What does that mean—
[04:20] ---
Wait! If so, it doesn't make sense.
[04:23] ---
He didn't set out on that quest
until after the death of his friend, Enkidu.
[04:31] ---
And he's returned from the quest. It means...
[04:34] ---
Enkidu should've been dead a long time ago.
[04:39] ---
Mash!
[04:53] ---
Fujimaru... Ritsuka Fujimaru...
[04:56] ---
Incompetent fools of Chaldea.
[05:00] ---
I was so close, though. Just a little more,
[05:03] ---
and I would've seen something so very fun.
[05:07] ---
It's useless to try to flee.
[05:10] ---
You are already doomed.
[05:15] ---
The odds are against the two.
[05:17] ---
Ana, help them!
[05:26] ---
This wasn't part of the deal,
[05:28] ---
but I will protect them.
[05:45] ---
It's useless.
[05:48] ---
Don't you get it?
[05:54] ---
Mash!
[06:24] ---
You're using chains, of all weapons,
against me? You make me laugh.
[06:29] ---
Watch out!
[06:30] ---
You do make me laugh...
[06:32] ---
third-rate Servant!
[06:38] ---
Too pathetic to be taken seriously.
[06:40] ---
Did you really think such paltry attacks
would stand a chance against me?
[06:46] ---
There's no need for me to defeat you.
[06:50] ---
Having a humanlike intelligence
can sometimes backfire on you.
[06:57] ---
You should take this opportunity
to learn that.
[07:03] ---
I see...
[07:05] ---
I've been caught
in an illusory dream halfway through.
[07:09] ---
Which means that's the Mage
working for Uruk.
[07:14] ---
I guess I'll have to withdraw for today.
[07:16] ---
Besides, I can't leave her alone
for a whole day.
[07:25] ---
H-Huh?
[07:30] ---
Where's Enkidu?
[07:33] ---
Wow, that worked out great!
[07:35] ---
I felt a little guilty because it was
like tricking an innocent child,
[07:38] ---
but we were facing Enkidu.
[07:40] ---
After all, that boy is working
directly for the King of Mages.
[07:44] ---
Enkidu's working for the King of Mages?
[07:47] ---
Was that really Enkidu?
[07:48] ---
Yes.
[07:50] ---
That's what he called himself
when he destroyed many fortress cities.
[07:55] ---
Though, while many Uruks seem
to want to believe he isn't the real thing.
[08:00] ---
Anyway, all that aside,
let me formally say hello!
[08:05] ---
I saved you when you were in danger.
[08:07] ---
Please shower me, your savior,
with your humble words of gratitude!
[08:10] ---
Oh, r-right! Thank you!
[08:13] ---
Thank yo—
[08:15] ---
Die, Merlin! Foooouu!
[08:26] ---
- Fou?
- Y-Y-You feral beast!
[08:28] ---
Th-They're fighting equally.
[08:31] ---
Have you forgotten the years
I took care of you?
[08:32] ---
I never should've taken you in,
you wicked beast! Cath Palug!
[08:36] ---
How many paw lovers
have you deceived with your cuteness?
[08:39] ---
Merlin,
[08:40] ---
please limit your lunacy
to when you're alone at night.
[08:43] ---
Oh, good work, Ana!
[08:46] ---
You saved me once again.
[08:49] ---
This battle was not part of our contract.
[08:52] ---
Be sorry instead of thanking me.
[08:55] ---
That's harsh.
[08:58] ---
Now,
[09:00] ---
we should introduce ourselves.
[09:02] ---
I am Merlin.
[09:04] ---
This girl is Ana.
[09:06] ---
We're actually Servants.
[09:08] ---
You can call me
"Big Brother Merlin."
[09:12] ---
What about you, Ana?
What do you want them to call you?
[09:15] ---
Wa—
[09:16] ---
It doesn't matter. Ana is fine.
[09:18] ---
Hold...
[09:19] ---
Hold it!
[09:22] ---
Did you say "Merlin"?
[09:25] ---
The great Mage of the Isle of Britain,
born of a human and an incubus!
[09:28] ---
He guided the Altria Pendragon
to the throne and served as court mage!
[09:31] ---
One of the world's greatest kingmakers
and the world's biggest scoundrel!
[09:36] ---
And as a Servant?
[09:38] ---
The Grand Mage who shouldn't be able
to die until the end of the world?
[09:42] ---
Doctor...
[09:43] ---
He sounds pretty enthusiastic.
[09:49] ---
Thank you for a grand introduction
as expected, Romani Archaman.
[09:52] ---
Well actually,
[09:54] ---
I only have the right
to be given the Grand title.
[09:56] ---
I'm all but a normal Caster.
[09:58] ---
That's impossible!
[10:00] ---
Liar! If you're the real deal,
show us your true form!
[10:05] ---
What's gotten into Doctor?
[10:07] ---
It's probably because of discrepancies
in the legends about him.
[10:12] ---
Merlin the Mage built a tower
in the utopia of Avalon,
[10:16] ---
and watches over the world
from there, never dying.
[10:21] ---
Therefore...
[10:22] ---
No one who's alive can become
a Heroic Spirit, huh?
[10:25] ---
That's right.
[10:27] ---
First off, in terms of combat,
he's completely useless!
[10:32] ---
All Casters with the potential to be
a Grand Caster are powerful clairvoyants.
[10:37] ---
Solomon's eyes, for instance,
can see the past and future.
[10:40] ---
King Gilgamesh can see the future.
[10:43] ---
But that scoundrel in front of you
is the worst of them!
[10:46] ---
He can see everything in the present,
but it's basically magic telescope!
[10:51] ---
He's nothing more
than a simply useful guy...
[10:57] ---
Um, that's plenty amazing, isn't it?
[11:01] ---
Doctor?
[11:02] ---
Hi! Sorry for butting in!
[11:04] ---
First, thank you, Merlin.
You helped them get out of danger.
[11:10] ---
That was a little service.
[11:13] ---
But it still doesn't make sense
that you're a Heroic Spirit.
[11:17] ---
You're still in Avalon, right?
[11:20] ---
I can tell you just the method.
[11:23] ---
This Singularity manifested in an age
that predates my appearance on Earth.
[11:27] ---
In other words,
my body doesn't exist here.
[11:30] ---
Which means that in this world, it could
theoretically be said that you are dead.
[11:34] ---
So, you used that fact
to make yourself a Servant?
[11:37] ---
Something like that.
[11:39] ---
Also because I was called forth
by a strong summoner.
[11:47] ---
Is there a Master in this era
besides Senpai?
[11:51] ---
Yes, of course.
[11:53] ---
I was summoned by him,
[11:55] ---
and I now serve as his court mage.
[11:59] ---
On the other hand, the influence
of the Grail summoned Ana.
[12:02] ---
She's a Rogue Servant.
That is, she has no Master.
[12:05] ---
I met Merlin two days ago.
[12:08] ---
We made a contract to achieve our goals,
[12:12] ---
but I was deceived.
[12:15] ---
Merlin is the embodiment of every kind
of dishonesty, to say the least.
[12:22] ---
Stop it! Don't tell them
the truth straight up!
[12:27] ---
I see.
[12:29] ---
Romani, give it up.
[12:30] ---
That's the real Merlin.
[12:34] ---
My stomach hurts now.
[12:37] ---
Did you manifest
to work with Chaldea, Merlin?
[12:41] ---
Of course.
[12:43] ---
My only pastime in life
is watching the present.
[12:47] ---
If the present is lost,
[12:50] ---
I'll be no more than a lonely man
staring at the Garden in my tower.
[12:56] ---
Besides...
[13:06] ---
I've been...
[13:08] ---
watching your whole fight
on the edge of my seat, Fujimaru.
[13:14] ---
I don't think it's fair to not let me
be part of your group now, do you?
[13:18] ---
Though, I totally understand I'm a threat
because I'm a Grand Caster.
[13:22] ---
In the end, all other Caster-class Servants
will realize they can't beat me
[13:26] ---
and get shuffled off to the backup group!
[13:29] ---
Well, team, let's head to Uruk at daybreak.
[13:33] ---
When you meet the king, it should
become clear what you're meant to do.
[13:36] ---
Yeah. It's good
being with you, Merlin.
[13:39] ---
It is nice to be with you.
[13:41] ---
Then, it's settled.
[13:42] ---
What about you, Ana?
[13:43] ---
Will you come with us?
[13:45] ---
Going to a human settlement...
[13:52] ---
Please, Ana.
[13:56] ---
No handshake please.
[13:58] ---
Don't come close to me.
[14:10] ---
We're finally understanding
the situation here, Senpai.
[14:13] ---
Yep.
[14:14] ---
With the rise of the Three Goddess Alliance,
[14:17] ---
the Sumerian city-states
have been dealt a devastating blow.
[14:20] ---
That's why people have evacuated to Uruk.
[14:23] ---
Yes. The Demonic Beasts' invasion up north
is the most serious issue at hand,
[14:27] ---
as they're currently the major force
wiping out humanity.
[14:31] ---
In response, Uruk's king
has constructed a great fortress.
[14:34] ---
That is the Demonic Beast Front: Babylonia.
[14:37] ---
It's the very last fort
to protect the Mesopotamian world.
[14:40] ---
If the Demonic Beasts bring down Uruk,
human history is finished right there.
[14:44] ---
Therefore, what you need to do is...
[14:46] ---
search for the Holy Grail that the King of Mages
sent to this era and retrieve it, and...
[14:50] ---
Take down the Three Goddess Alliance.
[14:52] ---
Yes.
[14:53] ---
Retrieving the Holy Grail should give us
an idea about the plot of the King of Mages.
[14:57] ---
But if we leave
the Three Goddess Alliance as is,
[15:00] ---
the Foundation of Humanity
can't be restored.
[15:02] ---
In any case,
[15:04] ---
nothing starts until we arrive at Uruk.
[15:09] ---
Is the one ruling over Uruk
that King Gilgamesh?
[15:13] ---
Yes, the most tyrannical
of all ancient kings.
[15:18] ---
Is that so?
[15:19] ---
He severed his ties with the gods,
saying that they're arrogant.
[15:22] ---
And he claims all beautiful women
and treasures in the world as his own.
[15:26] ---
He will kill you regardless of agreeing
or disagreeing with his opinion!
[15:29] ---
I-Isn't he just irrational
and unreasonable?
[15:32] ---
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.
[15:35] ---
He was a hero born of god and human.
[15:38] ---
In his youth, he was fond of people
while also being a sage grounded in reason,
[15:43] ---
but he became the complete opposite
in his adolescence.
[15:45] ---
He turned into an out-of-control tyrant.
[15:48] ---
To admonish him, the gods created the being
that appeared before us, Enkidu.
[15:54] ---
But as fate would have it...
[15:57] ---
The two became best friends.
[16:00] ---
Enkidu...
[16:01] ---
Well, I'll tell you about their history later.
[16:03] ---
Basically, someone bragging about possessing
the originals of all the Noble Phantasms.
[16:08] ---
An extremely arrogant
and cold-blooded tyrant.
[16:11] ---
Just remember that is Gilgamesh,
the King of Heroes.
[16:16] ---
L-Let's get some spirit into this!
[16:18] ---
Yes!
[16:24] ---
That looks like an inspection checkpoint.
[16:27] ---
Would it be better if we sneaked through?
[16:30] ---
Based on my experience, any quarrel here
would escalate into a battle.
[16:33] ---
You over there!
[16:35] ---
If you stray from the road,
you'll be cursed by the Ritual Sect!
[16:39] ---
Uruk is surrounded by a ritual
warding the Demonic Beasts,
[16:43] ---
but it seems to have some effects
on humans, as well.
[16:46] ---
Okay! Thank you for the warning!
[16:49] ---
Sure.
[16:50] ---
Are you refugees from Ur?
[16:53] ---
No, they're refugees from Girsu.
[16:56] ---
As for myself, I engage in business.
With the Ritual Sect's permission.
[17:01] ---
I'd like to evacuate them.
[17:03] ---
Are there any procedures I need to follow?
[17:06] ---
This is the sigil of Lady Siduri.
[17:09] ---
You must be tired from your long trip!
[17:12] ---
Welcome to the city of Uruk!
[17:14] ---
Yes! Thank you very much!
[17:18] ---
You in the black hood there...
[17:20] ---
What is it?
[17:23] ---
Yep.
[17:25] ---
I'm impressed you managed to walk
all the way here with your small build.
[17:29] ---
Take this if you'd like.
[17:34] ---
They're sweets my daughter
gave me as an afternoon snack.
[17:37] ---
B-But...
[17:40] ---
Um...
[17:42] ---
I am, um...
[17:44] ---
Ana! Why don't you accept his kind offer?
[18:02] ---
Thank you very much.
[18:05] ---
I hope we meet again alive!
[18:09] ---
We are fighting to survive,
and we spare no efforts if it's for the cause.
[18:15] ---
Now, let's get going.
[18:22] ---
This is Uruk today...
[18:26] ---
Mankind's oldest fortress city.
[18:29] ---
- Amazing!
- Amazing!
[18:33] ---
Times may be dire,
but the city remains lively, right?
[18:36] ---
Yeah.
[18:38] ---
I imagined all sorts of things
when I heard "ancient city,"
[18:42] ---
but this is beyond everything
I imagined!
[18:44] ---
Yes! This is a fighting city so perfect
that it would even work today!
[18:49] ---
And everyone is smiling,
and they are so lively!
[18:52] ---
Sumerians started showing up
in history around 4000 B.C.
[18:57] ---
But their civilization
was quite elaborate.
[19:01] ---
It began when people abandoned
a village-based society
[19:03] ---
and formed city-states housing
tens of thousands of people
[19:06] ---
by pioneering crop production boosts
through irrigated farming.
[19:09] ---
Of course, with a country that big,
[19:10] ---
the invention of writing and the implementation
of higher education were only a matter of time.
[19:14] ---
The fertile lands created quality mud
which the Sumerians kneaded to make clay.
[19:16] ---
That, in turn, was used
to build many fortresses.
[19:20] ---
That is Mesopotamia, the land
of mud, clay, wheat and sheep.
[19:26] ---
Well, we'll save a tour of the city for later.
[19:28] ---
Let's head over to the ziggurat.
[19:30] ---
The ziggurat?
[19:32] ---
A shrine and altar for the Mesopotamians.
[19:35] ---
Yeah.
[19:36] ---
We're finally meeting King Gilgamesh.
[19:41] ---
That is all I have to report, sir!
[19:42] ---
The newer the information
about the war, the better!
[19:45] ---
Keep me updated.
[19:47] ---
Yes, sir! We'll shift to bringing clay tablets
from the secretary every hour!
[19:52] ---
Good. Next.
[19:58] ---
The shipments from the city of Eresh
are being delayed, huh?
[20:02] ---
Send 20 men from the eastern barracks
to clear the Demonic Beasts.
[20:07] ---
Temun can take command.
[20:09] ---
It's his home. He knows it well.
[20:11] ---
Yes, sir!
[20:12] ---
By the way, I heard
that Tabado's daughter is giving birth.
[20:16] ---
Send her a sacred prostitute to aid her,
along with some healthy fruits.
[20:20] ---
Yes. I will arrange as such right away.
[20:23] ---
And pull Tabado off the Northern Wall,
[20:25] ---
and give him three days' rest.
[20:28] ---
His grandson's face will give him courage.
[20:32] ---
Is this the report from the astrologers?
[20:34] ---
Somehow, I had the image
he'd be a lot more terrible of a king,
[20:38] ---
but he's not that bad?
[20:40] ---
But it doesn't seem
like we'll be able to get a word in.
[20:44] ---
No, we need to work up
the courage to talk to him!
[20:47] ---
That's right.
[20:49] ---
You shouldn't wait for the king
to have a spare moment.
[20:54] ---
King Gilgamesh!
[20:55] ---
I, Merlin, Mage extraordinaire,
[20:57] ---
have brought guests!
[20:59] ---
You busy?
[21:00] ---
Yeah, I can see that, so don't worry!
[21:02] ---
Merlin!
[21:09] ---
So, you've returned,
[21:10] ---
Merlin the Mage.
[21:12] ---
Welcome.
[21:14] ---
The king is happy to see you.
[21:16] ---
And how did it go?
[21:17] ---
Did you bring back the Tablet of Destinies?
[21:21] ---
No, I didn't have any luck this time, either.
[21:24] ---
It's not in the western forest.
[21:26] ---
Jeez.
[21:27] ---
If only you remembered
where you left it, Your Majesty,
[21:30] ---
I wouldn't have to work this hard.
[21:32] ---
Silence. Know your place, Mage.
[21:35] ---
More importantly,
[21:36] ---
who are those people?
[21:38] ---
They don't look like Uruks.
[21:39] ---
It's fine. I understand the situation.
[21:42] ---
You may go, Siduri.
[21:44] ---
King Gilgamesh? Don't tell me...
[21:47] ---
Just as you suspected,
I'm going to make a mess of the throne!
[21:51] ---
I'm busy!
[21:53] ---
Too busy to exchange words with you
to get to know you.
[21:56] ---
Thus, I shall examine your genuineness...
[21:59] ---
through battle!
[22:02] ---
Prepare yourselves,
[22:04] ---
Mages of the Observatory!
[22:06] ---
Fortress City: Uruk
