[00:02] ---
    The king had eyes to see into the past
    and the future, but he stood by.

[00:09] ---
    The king saw
    all the world's struggles and sorrows,

[00:14] ---
    but he stood by.
[00:16] ---
    Ignorance might have excused him,
[00:19] ---
    but even enlightened, he only laughed.
[00:23] ---
    This man can never be forgiven.
[00:26] ---
    Here, future generations may read
    of our fury, and follow in our footsteps.

[00:30] ---
    Construct a temple!
[00:33] ---
    Build a band of light!
[00:38] ---
    Find the path to the Final Singularity.
[00:41] ---
    That is where the throne
    of the King of Mages resides.

[00:45] ---
    The name of that plane is Solomon.
[00:47] ---
    The end of the very end.
[00:49] ---
    The altar of spinning time.
[00:51] ---
    The hope at the very beginning.
[00:58] ---
    The King of Mages, Solomon!
[02:31] ---
    Master, are you all right?
[02:34] ---
    Mash, what did I...
[02:36] ---
    You were asleep...
[02:38] ---
    ever since you read the clay tablet
    you brought back with you.
[02:42] ---
    I saw him.
[02:44] ---
    Him?
[02:46] ---
    The King of Mages, Solomon.
[02:50] ---
    Come to think,
    I haven't heard of this yet.
[02:53] ---
    You've met Solomon and survived.
[02:56] ---
    The full details...
[02:59] ---
    In London,
[03:01] ---
    when we tried to retrieve the fourth Holy Grail,
[03:04] ---
    he appeared from within the darkness.
[03:07] ---
    Mage King Solomon,
[03:09] ---
    you have no gratitude
    toward any form of life!

[03:12] ---
    You enjoy toying with the lives
    of humans and of the planet!

[03:17] ---
    Girl, speak not of life as a mere human.
[03:21] ---
    When death is inevitable for you,
    your view has no value.

[03:25] ---
    Knowing your life will end.
    Knowing it has ended.

[03:29] ---
    Why do you still cling to life?
[03:32] ---
    Our lives will end.
[03:35] ---
    I shall give you a revelation
    from myself, a Grand Caster.

[03:39] ---
    Burn and leave not even ash.
[03:42] ---
    That is your future.
[03:50] ---
    Grand Caster, huh?
[03:52] ---
    Just like Merlin?
[03:54] ---
    Ordinary Servants are tools for the Holy Grail War
    where Heroic Spirits fight one another.
[03:59] ---
    But the seven true Servants
    chosen by the Root,
[04:02] ---
    given the rank of Grand, are different.
[04:06] ---
    It means they are really powerful.
[04:08] ---
    So, we are no match against them?
[04:10] ---
    Not as you are now.
[04:13] ---
    That's why we need the final Holy Grail.
[04:17] ---
    Isn't that so?
[04:18] ---
    Yeah.
[04:20] ---
    We can't just stop here!
[04:23] ---
    That's the spirit!
[04:25] ---
    Now, why don't we just sally forth?
[04:29] ---
    The Demonic Beasts at the Northern Wall
    are attempting a large-scale attack.
[04:36] ---
    So many people are working here.
[04:39] ---
    They've kept holding back
    Demonic Beasts for six months now.
[04:42] ---
    Of course they would have
    defensive measures of this level.
[04:46] ---
    We're ready to repair the outer wall now.
[04:48] ---
    - All right. You'd better hurry.
    - Yes, sir!
[04:50] ---
    Nothing less from the squad
    that King Leonidas commands.
[04:53] ---
    They're all so tensed up.
[04:58] ---
    So, beyond that is the northern wilderness.
[05:03] ---
    They breached the wall?
[05:11] ---
    Ana!
[05:12] ---
    Okay!
[05:26] ---
    King Leonidas!
[05:27] ---
    Stay on guard.
[05:29] ---
    The second wave is incoming.
[05:31] ---
    Phalanx!
[05:46] ---
    In a defensive battle,
    we Sparta have no reason for defeat!
[05:52] ---
    So, that's the hero of ancient Sparta!
[05:56] ---
    Third wave incoming!
[05:57] ---
    Multiple targets!
[06:00] ---
    Dingir!
[06:06] ---
    Fire!
[06:18] ---
    Amazing!
[06:21] ---
    Prepare for the next wave!
[06:22] ---
    Yes, sir!
[06:25] ---
    An attack of this level is commonplace.
[06:28] ---
    What was that weapon?
[06:30] ---
    It's a large cannon that fires
    King Gilgamesh's treasures
[06:33] ---
    and blows the enemies away
    with their Magical Energy.
[06:37] ---
    Treasures?
[06:39] ---
    The king had told me...
[06:42] ---
    Squandering is the true nature of civilization.
[06:45] ---
    Besides, this battle only has meaning
[06:46] ---
    if we're victorious against the gods
    using powers gathered by human hands.

[06:50] ---
    I see.
[06:51] ---
    So, "Dingir" means "human recognition
    to deify it." That's so like him.
[06:57] ---
    For human strength
    to stand up against the gods...
[07:01] ---
    Exactly!
[07:02] ---
    And the one who always trains himself
    emerges victorious!
[07:07] ---
    You still lack some training.
[07:09] ---
    Muscles are what you can ultimately rely on!
[07:15] ---
    I'm not saying you should fly.
[07:19] ---
    Take some bricks...
[07:21] ---
    and line them up here.
[07:22] ---
    It's something anyone can do,
    and it's the most important thing!
[07:26] ---
    - O-Okay!
    - O-Okay!
[07:27] ---
    Splendid!
[07:29] ---
    Now, you, too, Lady Mash.
    Stone-piling training!
[07:32] ---
    Begin!
[07:43] ---
    Oh, milk and cheese after training
    muscles is the best!
[07:47] ---
    Truly a gift from the war god Ares!
[07:50] ---
    Would you like some, too, Lord Fujimaru?
[07:52] ---
    I'll have some later.
[07:55] ---
    What's the situation of the war?
[07:57] ---
    Allow me to explain.
[08:00] ---
    Further north of this Northern Wall
    is a fortress city called "Nippur."
[08:05] ---
    There are people still stranded over there.
[08:08] ---
    We can't brute-force our way through a pack of
    Demonic Beasts, so we prioritize women and children.
[08:13] ---
    And we have slowly been rescuing them
    under the cover of darkness.
[08:16] ---
    However, the Demonic Beasts began
    to act in an organized manner.
[08:21] ---
    And then, communication
    has been severed from Nippur.
[08:25] ---
    I see.
[08:26] ---
    So, that's why
    we're being sent out there.
[08:29] ---
    If the citizens are still safe,
    they must be rescued.
[08:33] ---
    In order to do that, we need
    to launch a large-scale attack.
[08:37] ---
    Let's do it...
[08:40] ---
    if there still is a possibility of saving them!
[08:50] ---
    Ouch, ouch, ouch!
[08:51] ---
    It's rude to smack people
    for no reason, Cath Palug.
[09:01] ---
    What's wrong, Ana?
[09:04] ---
    Nothing.
[09:05] ---
    I'm just getting some night air.
[09:13] ---
    You sure don't look like that's the case.
[09:18] ---
    I was just thinking...
[09:20] ---
    if it was too late to tell them
    what's going on.
[09:25] ---
    Oh, are you sure?
[09:27] ---
    I think that might freak out even Fujimaru.
[09:30] ---
    But even so...
[09:34] ---
    It's not good. Not good at all.
[09:38] ---
    Emotions are, in general,
    things to be discarded.
[09:42] ---
    It'd be a waste to not cherish them.
[09:47] ---
    You're keeping your distance
    from humans...
[09:49] ---
    not because you don't like them,
    but because they scare you.
[09:53] ---
    You're afraid they'll find out
    who you really are.
[09:56] ---
    You're afraid they'll hate you.
[09:59] ---
    That's an emotion hard to come by.
[10:01] ---
    You could call it the conscience
    of the divine being you truly are.
[10:05] ---
    That conscience, or its lack,
    is the greatest difference between you and her.
[10:10] ---
    To toss it aside would be a waste!
[10:15] ---
    So, you're telling me to keep quiet and hide it?
[10:18] ---
    Yes.
[10:19] ---
    That's the smartest thing to do.
[10:21] ---
    What's wrong with a non-human
    hiding her inhumanity?
[10:27] ---
    I mean, I say that, but I'm no different.
[10:30] ---
    Because I have no emotions,
[10:32] ---
    I feed off of people's dreams...
[10:34] ---
    and harvest the subtleties
    of the heart from them.
[10:42] ---
    The only reason I can keep on
    being a nice bro-next-door...
[10:46] ---
    is because I'm expending the emotions
    I've gathered up to this point as fuel.
[10:51] ---
    Merlin, you are inhuman.
[10:53] ---
    That's right.
[10:55] ---
    We are literally inhuman.
[10:58] ---
    But there's no rule that what's inhuman
    must be an enemy of humanity, right?
[11:04] ---
    That's true.
[11:06] ---
    You're allowed to side with them
    because it's fun.
[11:10] ---
    Whether they love you or if you can
    love them is a different matter.
[11:16] ---
    Do you love humanity, Merlin?
[11:19] ---
    Of course not. As you know,
    I'm an awful person.
[11:24] ---
    But even if I were to hide that fact,
[11:27] ---
    do you think Fujimaru would really care?
[11:30] ---
    That's...
[11:34] ---
    He will just accept things
    for what they are.
[11:37] ---
    That is, you and me
    as we stand by his side.
[11:40] ---
    So, there's no need
    to disclose your true identity.
[11:43] ---
    It's humiliating. Having you tell me this,
    Merlin, is the biggest shame of my life.
[11:48] ---
    In the end, I will kill you.
[11:52] ---
    Your existence would be the vital point
    the Goddess of Demonic Beasts didn't expect.
[11:57] ---
    If there's a time for you to throw it all away,
    it's going to be in an instant.
[12:02] ---
    All right.
[12:05] ---
    Of course, amid all this foreshadowing,
[12:08] ---
    it's worth mentioning that I don't want
    that kind of ending at all!
[12:11] ---
    Because that would be boring!
[12:14] ---
    Sad partings aren't my style.
[12:17] ---
    I prefer to deceive
    and disparage the enemy,
[12:20] ---
    and emerge as the victor unharmed.
[12:22] ---
    Let's do it like the humans do!
[12:26] ---
    Disgusting.
[12:28] ---
    You only say what's most convenient for you.
[12:33] ---
    But...
[12:34] ---
    I guess I don't mind putting in some effort
    to make that outcome a reality.
[12:51] ---
    Take a deep breath, Lord Fujimaru.
[12:55] ---
    Right.
[13:01] ---
    You'll still be afraid,
    but your muscles will loosen up.
[13:05] ---
    Even you are scared, Leonidas?
[13:08] ---
    Of course I'm scared.
[13:09] ---
    I'm scared, and that's why
    I train on a daily basis.
[13:13] ---
    I always think...
    I think with each battle...
[13:17] ---
    that I wish I was stronger.
[13:20] ---
    A talent for Magecraft isn't that important
[13:22] ---
    for traveling through the ages as a Master.
[13:27] ---
    Our enemies are the gods
[13:29] ---
    and the King of Mages who is trying
    to destroy human history in its entirety.
[13:33] ---
    No matter how much of a genius one is,
[13:36] ---
    they are utterly powerless
    in the face of this cataclysm.
[13:40] ---
    And so, overcoming fear
    and not averting one's eyes from hardship...
[13:44] ---
    If you have those traits, Magecraft talent
    is nothing but inconsequential.
[13:50] ---
    Okay.
[13:51] ---
    I will not avert my eyes!
    No matter what happens!
[14:09] ---
    Well then, Lord Fujimaru,
    the best of luck to you.
[14:12] ---
    Cover my back for me, Ushiwaka!
[14:15] ---
    Leave that to me!
[14:19] ---
    I am Ushiwakamaru, the youngest child
    of Minamoto-no-Yoshitomo!
[14:24] ---
    You rabble of goblins,
[14:26] ---
    do you have the courage
    to challenge me for my head?
[14:31] ---
    Weak! You're inferior even
    to the packhorses of the Heike Clan!
[14:38] ---
    So it begins.
[14:40] ---
    Yeah. Let's hurry on our end, too!
[14:56] ---
    Smooth progress!
[14:58] ---
    I'm guessing that I'll get
    a pat on my head once this is all done!
[15:16] ---
    There are far more than we expected!
[15:20] ---
    But I don't understand.
[15:23] ---
    Understand what?
[15:24] ---
    Have they not fallen
    for our diversion all too easily?
[15:31] ---
    That's not it.
[15:33] ---
    We were the ones who fell for the bait.
[15:35] ---
    They're after Lord Fujimaru!
[15:39] ---
    I will now head to Nippur.
[15:40] ---
    B-But King Gilgamesh
    didn't allow us to enter the city!
[15:45] ---
    Lord Fujimaru called me "a friend."
[15:49] ---
    I can't claim to be a samurai
    if I were to betray my friend!
[15:53] ---
    Benkei, I'm leaving this field to you!
[15:55] ---
    Ushiwakamaru!
[16:01] ---
    What is this?
[16:11] ---
    Even the children...
[16:13] ---
    We didn't make it in time.
[16:16] ---
    We'll see about that.
[16:18] ---
    It's not like you, Fujimaru.
[16:21] ---
    Where do you think
    that blood trail leads to?
[16:38] ---
    Welcome to Nippur.
[16:40] ---
    You're...
[16:43] ---
    We meet again, so-called Enkidu.
[16:46] ---
    Where did you take the people of this city?
[16:49] ---
    Humans are an invaluable source
    of nourishment.
[16:52] ---
    We're making use of them
    with much thanks.
[16:55] ---
    Nourishment?
[16:56] ---
    The objective of the Demonic Beasts
    wasn't the destruction of the Northern Wall.
[17:00] ---
    To them, the Northern Wall was no more
    than a place where resources were gathered.
[17:06] ---
    Then, it's true!
    I didn't think it made sense, either!
[17:09] ---
    That's right.
    This was never an invasion.
[17:13] ---
    That plan was going to be executed
[17:15] ---
    after the second generation
    of Demonic Beasts was born.
[17:19] ---
    Second generation, you say?
[17:21] ---
    You people are no more
    than raw materials used to create them.
[17:25] ---
    What do you think humans are?
[17:29] ---
    A nursery to create
    a superior living creature.
[17:33] ---
    Isn't that quite significant?
[17:35] ---
    Cut the crap!
[17:36] ---
    You're nothing more than a humanoid doll
    in Enkidu's likeness!
[17:41] ---
    You'd at least serve
    as the opening act for Gilgamesh, right?
[17:46] ---
    You should play with this guy!
[17:54] ---
    That's the Demonic Beast Ugallu!
[17:56] ---
    The largest offspring of Tiamat!
[17:58] ---
    A lion of the Sun!
[18:03] ---
    I won't let it!
[18:05] ---
    That looks like an opponent worth slashing.
[18:13] ---
    It's strong!
[18:15] ---
    I see. A blade that kills immortals...
[18:17] ---
    I'm sure a run-of-the-mill Demonic Beast
    would've gone down in one blow. Too bad.
[18:31] ---
    Merlin, I need your support!
[18:33] ---
    This really isn't like me, but...
[18:36] ---
    Ouch, ouch, ouch!
[18:37] ---
    I'll take it seriously, Cath Palug.
[18:39] ---
    Even I won't be joking around here.
[18:44] ---
    Let's say this is thanks for them
    feeding me such quality dreams.
[18:49] ---
    Oh, an incubus?
[18:50] ---
    I may be inhuman like you,
[18:52] ---
    but I can't continue living
    without humans.
[18:56] ---
    We play different roles, Fake Enkidu!
[19:00] ---
    How about something like this?
[19:13] ---
    With this, I can...
[19:29] ---
    I did it. Just what I aimed to do.
[19:31] ---
    You're right.
[19:32] ---
    Just what I aimed to do!
[19:38] ---
    Ana!
[19:41] ---
    A scythe that kills immortals,
    and those eyes...
[19:44] ---
    It seems you're an existence
    that is a bit troublesome.
[19:49] ---
    That's why I have to get rid of you
    right here and now.
[19:55] ---
    Ana!
[19:56] ---
    Shut up!
[20:01] ---
    Cath Palug,
[20:02] ---
    do something.
[20:04] ---
    I know you have Magical Energy stored up.
[20:08] ---
    Fou!
[20:09] ---
    Use it! Now!
[20:18] ---
    Fou,
[20:19] ---
    are you...
[20:30] ---
    She escaped from the Chain of Heaven?
[20:35] ---
    Ana...
[20:40] ---
    No!
[20:42] ---
    Has she no restraint?
[20:50] ---
    That thing...
[20:52] ---
    It can't be!
[21:08] ---
    Archaman, hurry
    with the analysis of that thing!
[21:11] ---
    It may be hard to believe,
    but that's a Servant!

[21:13] ---
    I'm on it!
[21:16] ---
    Its Spirit Origin is a Divine Spirit-class!
    Its classification is an Avenger!
[21:20] ---
    Avenger...
[21:21] ---
    The one that seeks revenge
    because of resentment...
[21:23] ---
    The eighth class that should not be!
[21:28] ---
    Oh no!
[21:29] ---
    There's no way we can win—
[21:31] ---
    You're quite loud, humans.
[21:35] ---
    Mankind's sworn enemy,
    head of the Three Goddess Alliance...
[21:40] ---
    Prostrate yourselves, pray and beg.
[21:44] ---
    Tiamat, the Mother of All Beasts,
    stands before you now.
[21:48] ---
    So, that's Tiamat!
[21:50] ---
    Mother, it's so nice
    to see you awake again today.
[21:55] ---
    It's you, Enkidu.
[21:56] ---
    But this wasn't exactly the plan.
[21:59] ---
    You were to rest until the Day of Rebirth.
[22:04] ---
    Don't be so dull.
[22:07] ---
    Is that what they call
    "humanity's final Master"?
[22:11] ---
    Yes.
[22:14] ---
    Insignificant.
[22:25] ---
    Such fragile, frail creatures.
[22:29] ---
    So, this is the remnants of humanity.
[22:36] ---
    My body!
[22:38] ---
    Senpai!
[22:39] ---
    Is this a type of Snake Eyes?
[22:41] ---
    I'm very hungry right now.
[22:44] ---
    You shall become my sacrifice
    while you are terrified.
[22:48] ---
    You may not be delicious,
    but you surely are a delicacy.
[22:54] ---
    Deep breaths, Mash!
[22:57] ---
    You'll still be afraid,
    but your muscles will loosen up.
[23:02] ---
    Got it!
[23:09] ---
    I can move!
[23:10] ---
    All right!
[23:18] ---
    Very well.
[23:19] ---
    Step back, my child. I'll handle this.
[23:22] ---
