[00:03] ---
    This is one particular story...
[00:07] ---
    ...within a large ending and beginning.
[00:11] ---
    - A small story about us.
    - A small story about us.

[00:16] ---
    Fate/Grand Order
    Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
[00:26] ---
    Senpai?
[00:29] ---
    Senpai?
[00:32] ---
    Mash...
[00:34] ---
    I'm glad you're all right.
[00:37] ---
    Yes!
[00:38] ---
    You, too, Senpai!
[00:46] ---
    Where is this?
[00:47] ---
    It seems we're somewhere
    around Babylon.
[00:50] ---
    Oh meow, you're awake!
[00:53] ---
    Jaguar Warrior!
[00:55] ---
    - Heya!
    - And...
[00:58] ---
    Hola! It's your reliable big sister, yes!
[01:03] ---
    Were you two responsible for saving us?
[01:07] ---
    It was just in the nick of time,
    so I got a little anxious!
[01:11] ---
    Thank you, both of you!
[01:13] ---
    But anyway, Quetzalcoatl...
[01:16] ---
    I didn't think I'd see you again.
[01:18] ---
    I didn't make it back in time to resume
    the match after I was sent out of the ring.
[01:22] ---
    You weren't sent out of the ring!
    It was a magnificent KO victory!
[01:29] ---
    I'm truly glad you're all right!
[01:31] ---
    Whoa, I'll do the explaining from here!
[01:34] ---
    There was this space debris streaking
    through the stratosphere like a falling star!
[01:38] ---
    So, I said, "Oh, that's Kuku," okay?
[01:40] ---
    So, I'm like, "Arrrgh!" and I ran above the mud
    and caught her at the last second like a boss!
[01:46] ---
    And thanks to the slippery mud, we were on
    a slip-and-slide course to the port while burning!
[01:50] ---
    Oh brother.
[01:52] ---
    In any case, I'm relieved to be able
    to confirm that both of you are safe.

[01:55] ---
    I'm sorry we troubled you by not being able
    to respond immediately, Doctor.

[01:59] ---
    Not at all.
[02:00] ---
    There's still some time
    before Rayshift preparations are complete.
[02:04] ---
    Can you stay there and wait for a while
    until we contact you?
[02:07] ---
    Um...
[02:09] ---
    Can you figure out what happened
    to the others from your end?
[02:13] ---
    Unfortunately.
[02:16] ---
    I see.
[02:19] ---
    That's a problem.
    I wanted to give payback to Merlin.
[02:24] ---
    Wait, do you mean
    from when we threw the Axe of Marduk?
[02:27] ---
    Yes! I was totally ready to present him
    with a full course of joint locks!
[02:34] ---
    So, we should look around a bit more.
[02:44] ---
    The mud has completely receded.
[02:47] ---
    Right! Completely clean now!
[02:49] ---
    It was obvious even from the surface
[02:52] ---
    that you guys pulled it off.
[02:57] ---
    You defeated Beast.
[03:01] ---
    Tiamat.
[03:06] ---
    Um, Senpai...
[03:09] ---
    We may be reunited
    with everyone if we head to Uruk.
[03:13] ---
    You're right! Let's hurry on over! Everyone—
[03:16] ---
    I'm sorry.
[03:17] ---
    This is as far as we can go.
[03:20] ---
    It seems my duties as a foreign goddess
    has come to an end.
[03:25] ---
    I see.
[03:26] ---
    But I'm glad I got to give you
    a proper farewell.
[03:29] ---
    Yes, I'm glad, as well.
[03:32] ---
    From the beginning, you've always
    seriously meant whatever you said.
[03:36] ---
    You were a wonderful child
    who never lied to his own feelings.
[03:42] ---
    Do you remember what I said back then?
[03:47] ---
    M-Marriage?
[03:48] ---
    That you would destroy Uruk.
[03:51] ---
    Back then, my words told no lie.
[03:56] ---
    In my own way, that was the method
    I'd chosen to stop the Holy Grail.
[04:00] ---
    To stop Gorgon claiming to be Tiamat.
[04:08] ---
    To be honest, I was scared.
[04:11] ---
    But, just as much, I felt
    you were an unbelievably serious goddess.
[04:17] ---
    I mean, you were that powerful,
[04:19] ---
    yet you said you'd take on each and every person,
    no matter who, one at a time.
[04:24] ---
    That's why...
[04:27] ---
    I thought that, in the end,
    you really loved humans.
[04:36] ---
    Yes. I didn't even need to confirm this.
[04:40] ---
    Yes. It was the same back then.
[04:44] ---
    The eye of a human who, even if weak,
    never turned away, but faced hardship.
[04:49] ---
    A strong light that sought to know more
    about the enemy instead of defeating him.
[04:54] ---
    You decided to fight me,
    a foreign goddess, fair and square.
[04:59] ---
    You did not deny my civilization,
    the history of others.
[05:04] ---
    I was very, very happy about that!
[05:09] ---
    Kuku does love humans!
[05:13] ---
    Though, I can relate to that!
[05:15] ---
    Humans are tasty to eat, too—
[05:17] ---
    Oh, um, we're forbidden
    from eating them now!
[05:20] ---
    Really, it's true!
    Jaguars don't tell lies!
[05:24] ---
    Oh...
[05:25] ---
    It looks like we're starting
    to fade away.
[05:28] ---
    I guess we bid farewell right here.
[05:31] ---
    Yeah.
[05:35] ---
    Stay steadfast, my cute Master.
[05:39] ---
    I'm looking forward to an exciting victory
    that would get the crowds roaring.
[05:45] ---
    Yeah!
[05:46] ---
    Thanks for everything until now!
[05:49] ---
    Of course!
[05:52] ---
    Big sister loves a farewell like this, yes!
[06:04] ---
    - Let's head to Uruk.
    - Okay.
[06:24] ---
    Jeez, I got tired of waiting for you!
[06:29] ---
    You really have some nerve
    to make me wait.
[06:32] ---
    Welcome back.
[06:35] ---
    Well,
[06:36] ---
    I thought you guys
    would come back here,
[06:39] ---
    so we decided to get a head start.
[06:40] ---
    Yeah! I had a feeling
    we'd be able to meet!
[06:43] ---
    Yes!
[06:44] ---
    Really?
[06:45] ---
    I'm glad we were able
    to meet your expectations.
[06:49] ---
    Hey guys,
[06:51] ---
    do you have enough time
    for some tea at least?
[06:53] ---
    Yeah, probably.
[06:55] ---
    You're fine. We're still confirming
    the repair of the Singularity.

[06:59] ---
    There you have it.
[07:01] ---
    Oh, by the way, on our way here,
    we met Jaguar Warrior and Quetzalcoatl.
[07:06] ---
    Was she all right?
[07:08] ---
    Yes. Oh, but they faded away
    before they could get here.
[07:12] ---
    I see! What a shame!
[07:15] ---
    I wanted to give her a handshake
    to show my gratitude one last time!
[07:19] ---
    Yes! She mentioned that she'd be sure
    to present you with a joint lock!
[07:26] ---
    Can't hear! Can't hear you at all!
[07:28] ---
    I'm sorry, was that hard for you to hear?
[07:31] ---
    It really is a shame!
[07:34] ---
    It would've been a good medicine for Merlin.
[07:36] ---
    It totally would've been fine
    if he got totally beaten up.
[07:39] ---
    Whoa!
[07:40] ---
    Should you be saying such things, Roman?
[07:43] ---
    Won't you be needing the assistance
    of my capable self in the future, as well?
[07:47] ---
    You hadn't done anything all the way to the
    Seventh Singularity. What are you talking about?
[07:52] ---
    Oh, excuse me, you're not dead yet
    so you can only come to the Age of Gods.
[07:59] ---
    You really go for the sore spots, don't you?
[08:01] ---
    Maybe you actually have
    a very nasty personality.
[08:04] ---
    You're the last person
    I want to hear that from!
[08:07] ---
    I'll giftwrap that line
    and return it right at you!
[08:14] ---
    By the way,
[08:15] ---
    what happened to the underworld
    after all that?
[08:20] ---
    Merlin, where's the tea?
[08:21] ---
    Whoops.
[08:25] ---
    I knew it.
[08:27] ---
    It tasted better
    when Lady Siduri brewed them for us.
[08:31] ---
    Oh no, thank you very much, Merlin.
[08:36] ---
    The majority of the underworld
    has collapsed.
[08:39] ---
    It was due to Beast's critical collapse
    and the explosion thereof.
[08:44] ---
    The underworld...
[08:46] ---
    Well, they'll need roughly half a century
    for it to fully look like how it used to.
[08:53] ---
    In the end, the surface
    and the underworld...
[08:55] ---
    Two worlds were driven
    to the brink of collapse, huh?
[09:00] ---
    Of all the battles we've had so far,
    this was leagues beyond anything else.
[09:04] ---
    An Evil of Humanity, Beast II.
[09:06] ---
    We never figured out
    the nature of that Beast.
[09:10] ---
    Fujimaru,
[09:12] ---
    since you touched upon her spirit,
[09:14] ---
    perhaps you got a glimpse
    of a different aspect of her.
[09:26] ---
    Yeah.
[09:28] ---
    I'm sure it was because of that part about you
    that got him to come out here.
[09:33] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[09:37] ---
    So, what about Ereshkigal?
[09:40] ---
    Ereshkigal is resting in the underworld.
[09:46] ---
    She really was happy about the fact
    that flowers were blooming in the underworld.
[09:54] ---
    She told me to give
    her final thanks to you all.
[10:03] ---
    Yeah.
[10:06] ---
    Ishtar, what are you planning on doing now?
[10:09] ---
    I'm going to stay in this age.
[10:12] ---
    The Holy Grail didn't call me forth.
[10:14] ---
    I'll stay here in this world
    until the first Uruk dynasty ends.
[10:20] ---
    Besides,
[10:21] ---
    I did receive twenty percent of the gems
    in Babylon's treasury!
[10:24] ---
    It'd be a waste not to enjoy them!
[10:32] ---
    What are you going to do?
[10:34] ---
    Well, I'll head back to my tower in Avalon,
[10:36] ---
    and watching over
    Fujimaru and company fight.
[10:40] ---
    I wasn't supposed
    to be helping you out like this.
[10:43] ---
    So, about that...
[10:45] ---
    Merlin, why did you decide
    to help us this time around?
[10:49] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
    It's because I'm a big fan of yours.
[10:57] ---
    I'm a man who can only watch.
[11:00] ---
    I may not much like individual humans,
    but I love the stories you weave.
[11:06] ---
    I get excited by the stories I read,
[11:08] ---
    but I'm not interested
    in the humans who wrote them.
[11:13] ---
    But...
[11:15] ---
    you're a bit different.
[11:19] ---
    You're a traveler who journeys
    between books, just like me.
[11:24] ---
    Yet, you take on
    a different approach than I do.
[11:27] ---
    You use those stories to save everyone
    and weave together a better ending.
[11:33] ---
    And so, your actions are something
    that only I can truly appreciate.
[11:44] ---
    Yep. That's why, just once,
    I wanted to help you.
[11:48] ---
    I got a little overexcited
    and left my tower like this.
[11:53] ---
    Jeez, you did way too much for a fan.
[11:56] ---
    You came up onto the stage,
    then got involved in a huge fight on stage—
[11:59] ---
    Oh, Roman...
[12:01] ---
    This is the end, so can't you be
    a bit more honest during your sendoffs?
[12:05] ---
    You know, as friends
    who are too similar to one another.
[12:08] ---
    Thank you for the best insult.
[12:11] ---
    This is the biggest headache
    I've had in ten years!
[12:16] ---
    But anyway, you really saved us
    this time around.
[12:19] ---
    As a representative of Chaldea,
    I show you my feelings of gratitude.
[12:23] ---
    We really thank you, Merlin!
[12:26] ---
    Thank you very much.
[12:28] ---
    Maybe I've become a tad more human.
[12:31] ---
    Hearing that from you before,
    I wouldn't have felt anything.
[12:43] ---
    This is...
[12:44] ---
    You can do whatever you wish with it.
[12:47] ---
    It's a small sentiment...
[12:49] ---
    from me and from her.
[12:55] ---
    Now, it is dawn.
[12:58] ---
    Fujimaru, Chaldean stargazer,
[13:01] ---
    a pioneer no one will remember...
[13:04] ---
    I honor your battle.
[13:08] ---
    Have a good journey until the end.
[13:12] ---
    I pray for clear skies
    at the end of your travels.
[13:27] ---
    So, this is where you were.
[13:31] ---
    What's the matter?
[13:32] ---
    Did the banquet put forth
    by my people already end?
[13:35] ---
    That will continue until morning.
[13:39] ---
    Why did you decide
    that you were going to defeat that Divine Beast?
[13:43] ---
    Though it did devastate your Uruk,
    you didn't do it for your people, did you?
[13:48] ---
    No, it truly was to save Uruk.
[13:51] ---
    If I don't defeat the evil residing on Earth,
    my people will starve to death.
[13:55] ---
    But why you?
[13:57] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:58] ---
    Your tyranny has caused
    much suffering to your people.
[14:01] ---
    So, why are you worried
    about your people?
[14:05] ---
    Protecting them
    is not the only way to guard them.
[14:08] ---
    At times, you need something
    like the northern wind.
[14:11] ---
    It is the duty of the king
    to establish the future of this planet.
[14:16] ---
    The duty of the king?
[14:18] ---
    That's right.
[14:19] ---
    I am the king!
[14:21] ---
    I live as the king!
[14:22] ---
    Since I've decided as such,
    I'll play along with humans,
[14:25] ---
    with the future of humans.
[14:28] ---
    Until the very end of the world.
[14:32] ---
    Why won't you tell the people
    those words?
[14:36] ---
    At the rate you're going,
    not one person will understand you.
[14:40] ---
    You'll be all alone to the very end.
[14:43] ---
    I am not alone.
[14:45] ---
    There's someone
    I'm telling the story to now.
[14:48] ---
    Though, it's not a story that can be told
    to the general populace,
[14:52] ---
    I've mumbled it out to you, a non-human.
[14:57] ---
    Yes, I am a tool.
[15:00] ---
    Tools need not the northern wind or the Sun.
[15:03] ---
    That's why I can be at your side
    until the end of the world.
[15:07] ---
    Fool...
[15:10] ---
    Fool!
[15:12] ---
    Live together and fight together.
[15:14] ---
    That's no longer human or tool.
[15:18] ---
    Listen here, Enkidu...
[15:20] ---
    That is called...
[15:26] ---
    King Gilgamesh!
[15:28] ---
    King Gilgamesh!
[15:31] ---
    You are rather late, Fujimaru.
[15:34] ---
    Too long a nap is bad for one's health.
[15:37] ---
    Though, with this self that has
    no physical body, it really doesn't matter.
[15:41] ---
    So, you should be the one coming to us!
[15:43] ---
    You wouldn't have been able to say farewell
    if Fujimaru didn't come to visit this place!
[15:47] ---
    It is only natural
    that the subjects come visit their king.
[15:51] ---
    The choice not to come here
    simply doesn't exist.
[15:54] ---
    - Yes, Your Majesty!
    - Yes, Your Majesty!
[15:55] ---
    It's an honor to see you at the very end!
[16:02] ---
    So?
[16:03] ---
    What was that look
    down in the underworld?
[16:06] ---
    Oh, I was on the brink of death.
[16:08] ---
    So I just made a small impossibility happen.
[16:12] ---
    Behind Ereshkigal's back,
[16:14] ---
    I showed myself in my prime
    for just an instant.
[16:18] ---
    It would be most unfortunate
    to come all the way here to Uruk
[16:22] ---
    and not see the guise
    of the King of Heroes.
[16:24] ---
    Oh, fine.
[16:42] ---
    Your Majesty...
[16:43] ---
    What will happen to Uruk now?
[16:46] ---
    What I've said before.
    It will not be destroyed.
[16:50] ---
    Those who are to follow us
    are sure to make Sumer prosper.
[16:55] ---
    I see.
[17:07] ---
    Senpai?
[17:13] ---
    How brazen.
[17:14] ---
    Yes.
[17:16] ---
    You know, you should think
    about Fujimaru's feelings!
[17:18] ---
    That is a fact.
[17:21] ---
    But I also do understand.
[17:23] ---
    Having feelings for those passing away
    is something you need to continue living for.
[17:29] ---
    I don't intend on laughing
    at such an act, either.
[17:31] ---
    King Gilgamesh...
[17:33] ---
    Fujimaru, you must be aware...
[17:36] ---
    of the humorous account of a certain man
    who feared death and tried to overcome it.
[17:46] ---
    Seeking the mystic herb of immortality,
[17:48] ---
    he ended up in the underworld.
[17:51] ---
    The only greatest journey
    completed as an ordinary man.
[17:55] ---
    Not as king or hero.
[18:01] ---
    Long...
[18:03] ---
    A long journey greater
    than his own lifespan later,
[18:06] ---
    he finally obtained the mystic herb.
[18:09] ---
    It was an atrociously high sense
    of accomplishment, fulfillment, joy...
[18:14] ---
    You could say he finally learned
    of the meaning of life.
[18:18] ---
    However,
[18:20] ---
    on the final day of his journey
    to return home with the mystic herb,
[18:23] ---
    he bathed in an attempt to show off
    before returning to his country.
[18:26] ---
    That moment off guard was taken,
[18:28] ---
    and an ordinary snake took off
    with the mystic herb.
[18:33] ---
    The fulfillment of life, the joy of living,
[18:36] ---
    the glory to continue from thereon...
[18:38] ---
    All of that was gone in one instant.
[18:41] ---
    However,
[18:42] ---
    what came out of the man's mouth
    was not a voice of anger...
[18:47] ---
    but laughter.
[18:50] ---
    He truly became tremendously
    amused and laughed.
[18:54] ---
    He took his entire life
    to obtain something, and he lost it.
[18:58] ---
    Despite losing everything,
    he still sees the light of another day.
[19:02] ---
    The figure of an authoritarian human
    was ridiculously amusing.
[19:06] ---
    It truly is a comedy.
[19:09] ---
    Right on the brink of death,
[19:11] ---
    he finally understood the world of man.
[19:15] ---
    Humans can infinitely flourish.
[19:19] ---
    That doesn't change one second
    before your duration of life is over.
[19:24] ---
    Until the end, the state
    of one's heart is cumulative.
[19:28] ---
    Human history is something similar.
[19:33] ---
    Lift your head, Ritsuka Fujimaru!
[19:35] ---
    Even if you were to regret
    your powerlessness in this era,
[19:40] ---
    I'll acknowledge you!
[19:42] ---
    That you were the one we needed!
[19:45] ---
    No matter what predicaments
    await you from hereon,
[19:49] ---
    you, just by standing there, are true!
[20:01] ---
    Yes!
[20:03] ---
    I will do my best, Your Majesty!
[20:11] ---
    Fujimaru, Mash, we're done
    with preparations to receive you.

[20:16] ---
    We're going to begin the Rayshift now.
[20:19] ---
    It's strange.
[20:21] ---
    We weren't together for all that long,
[20:24] ---
    but I feel like talking to you forever.
[20:27] ---
    Yes.
[20:28] ---
    I'm rather reluctant to part, but...
[20:30] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[20:32] ---
    I've finished my farewells.
[20:35] ---
    Return to Chaldea,
[20:36] ---
    sing the song of your victory
    and praise my name for all to hear!
[20:40] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[20:44] ---
    If travelers are able to leave with a smile,
[20:46] ---
    then a good country
    should send them off with a souvenir.
[20:52] ---
    A specialty of Uruk. Some wheat ale.
[20:56] ---
    Thank you very much, Your Majesty.
[20:58] ---
    Master and I are still underage
    and can't drink.
[21:03] ---
    That's rather dull.
[21:09] ---
    Then, at least take the cup.
[21:13] ---
    I'm sure it'll be useful for something!
[21:18] ---
    That thing!
[21:19] ---
    Y-Your Majesty, this is...
[21:22] ---
    That's the biggest treasure
    of them all!
[21:23] ---
    Live together and fight together.
[21:26] ---
    That is, Enkidu...
[21:30] ---
    That is called...
[21:36] ---
    In any event, farewell, warriors of Chaldea!
[21:39] ---
    Our battle was a truly gratifying victory!
[21:43] ---
    With your return,
[21:45] ---
    I declare operations
    at the Demonic Front concluded!
[21:48] ---
    - Yes!
    - Yes!
[21:51] ---
    Hold on a second.
[21:53] ---
    I forgot to ask something.
[21:56] ---
    How was this land of Uruk?
[22:02] ---
    - It was fun!
    - It was fun!
[22:10] ---
    The age when humans and gods
    lived together....

[22:15] ---
    Humans, in deciding
    to part company with the gods,

[22:18] ---
    chose to live as humans
    until their final moments.

[22:24] ---
    Sowing at times,
[22:25] ---
    eating at times,
[22:27] ---
    singing at times...
[22:29] ---
    Among people filled with hope,
[22:32] ---
    we cried a little...
[22:34] ---
    and laughed with each other
    much more so...

[22:38] ---
    This is such a commonplace...
[22:42] ---
    ...yet distinctly our own...
[22:45] ---
    - ...one and only story.
    - ...one and only story.

[22:52] ---
    Chaldea external reactive theory units
    7 through 3 have been destroyed!
[22:56] ---
    Proof of non-existence, failing!
[22:58] ---
    Detecting fluctuations in strength
    of pseudo-quanta comprising the facility!
[23:02] ---
    We're being drawn
    toward the Quantum Time Lock!
[23:05] ---
    T-minus 4368 hours
    until Chaldea exterior settles on 2016.
[23:11] ---
    Doctor!
[23:14] ---
    Sorry this had to come
    right after you got back.
[23:17] ---
    The time has finally come.
[23:19] ---
    It's finally time. The final...
[23:25] ---
    As of today,
[23:27] ---
    the lives of all the staff in Chaldea
    are in my, Romani Archaman's, hands!
[23:32] ---
    We'll head toward Solomon's Singularity!
[23:35] ---
    The Final Singularity,
    The Grand Temple of Time... Solomon!
