[00:01] Obi; narration
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] Obi; narration
    But the cause of death that scares the
    most people in this day and age...
[00:16] Obi; narration
    ...is death by fire.

SIGN    Orichalcum
[02:09] Arthur; narration
    Orichalcum.
[02:11] Arthur; narration
    It is a legendary ore from the
    legendary island of Atlantis.
SIGN    It is a legendary ore
    from the legendary
    island of Atlantis.
[02:16] Arthur; narration
    Since it is an ore worthy of legend,
    it is super rare.
[02:20] Arthur; narration
    It's perfect for forging the
    legendary sword Excalibur.
[02:25] Arthur; narration
    If we're going to forge Excalibur, anything
    other than orichalcum would be unthinkable!
[02:35] Arthur
    Everything we need is written on this map.
SIGN    It's darkest under the lamp.
    The Orichalcum is at
     the first shop you visited!
[02:38] Arthur
    "It's darkest under the lamp."
[02:40] Arthur
    As it's written in ancient runes,
    the full meaning isn't clear. However...
[02:43] Arthur
    "Darkest."
[02:44] Arthur
    Being able to read that one
    word is more than enough.
[02:47] Arthur
    If it speaks of dark places,
    then it speaks of the Nether.
[02:49] Arthur
    The orichalcum is in the Nether!
[02:52] Yu
    But it says that it's in the first
    shop you went to, doesn't it?
[02:55] Yu
    Maybe it's the tsukemono place?
[02:57] Arthur
    How could I possibly remember
    the first place I went?
[03:00] Arthur
    I think that this is indicating the place
    where everything started—Atlantis!
[03:05] Yu
    What?!
[03:06] Lisa
    What d'you mean, "you think"?
[03:09] Vulcan
    Yu, he's already gone too far.
[03:11] Vulcan
    It's time to change the plan.
[03:15] Arthur
    We head for the Nether!
[03:17] Vulcan; Lisa; Yu
    Y-Yeah!
[03:24] girl
    Mr. Fire Officer! My cat is stuck
    in a tree and can't get down!
[03:29] girl
    Help me!
[03:30] Arthur
    I'm in the middle of the main quest.
[03:32] Arthur
    I'll play the side quests later. Farewell!
[03:35] Vulcan; Yu; Lisa
    What?!
[03:40] Vulcan
    Listen up, Yu. Idiots' brains tend to
    take the path of least resistance.
[03:44] Vulcan
    They don't think. They just hurry
    toward the result they want.
[03:47] Yu
    It certainly seems that way.
[03:48] Vulcan
    Did you know that the idea
    of brains taking the path
[03:51] Vulcan
    of least resistance comes from circuits?
[03:53] Yu
    Does it really?
[03:55] Vulcan
    You know what happens
    when you directly connect
[03:58] Vulcan
    a battery's positive and
    negative terminals, right?
[04:00] Yu
    Well, it'll short out. You have to
    connect something else between them.
[04:05] Yu
    Oh, I get it. That's where
    that idea comes from.
[04:09] Vulcan
    When you're working with mechanics,
[04:11] Vulcan
    you can't just jump to the
    path of least resistance.
[04:14] Vulcan
    You have to think about every
    method from every angle.
[04:17] Vulcan
    That's how you find the best one possible.
[04:19] Yu
    Yes, sir! I will engrave that into my heart!
[04:21] Lisa
    But this time, you put too many
    things between the terminals,
[04:25] Lisa
    so he couldn't reach the answer.
[04:27] Vulcan
    I never imagined that his electric
    current would be this weak.
[04:30] Yu
    He's the equivalent of a coin battery.
[04:32] Lisa
    But it sure feels nostalgic
    to see Vul teach you, Yu.
[04:37] Yu
    And to have you watching over us, Lisa-san!
[04:45] Vulcan
    If something's shorted out,
    we just need to fix it!
[04:50] Arthur
    What are you doing?
[04:51] Arthur
    Hurry up and find an entrance
    to the Nether for me!
[04:54] Vulcan
    And we've gotta fix this
    broken scenario, too.
[05:03] Arthur
    From here, we can enter the Nether.
[05:06] Yu
    Should we really enter without permission?
[05:08] Vulcan
    We've already done lots of un-fire-soldier-like
    things to get here, haven't we?
[05:13] Arthur
    There's no turning back now!
[05:14] Vulcan
    There is, actually. Want to turn back?
[05:37] Yu
    We're in. We're in the Nether.
[05:40] Yu
    We told him we can turn back, but he
    won't listen. He won't listen at all.
[05:44] Yu
    He really won't listen...
[05:47] Yu
    Wonlisten...
[05:50] Yu
    Wonlisten!
[05:51] Yu
    Wonlisten! Wonlisten! Wonlisten!
    Wonlisten! Wonlisten! Wonlisten!
[05:52] Lisa
    Yu's gone insane with fear of the Nether.
[05:55] Vulcan
    Well, it's his first time here.
[05:57] Arthur
    Wake up, Yu!
[05:59] Arthur
    This is the Nether! If you don't stay on
    your guard, the abyss will look into you!
[06:03] Arthur
    Come to your senses!
[06:09] Yu
    Knight King Arthur... What was I doing?
[06:12] Arthur
    If you don't conduct yourself properly,
    you'll lose your sanity.
[06:15] Yu
    Yes, sir! I'll act properly!
[06:18] Vulcan
    I understand how he feels.
    What are we all doing here?
[06:23] Vulcan
    Lisa, are you okay?
[06:25] Lisa
    Huh?
[06:26] Vulcan
    Being in the Nether must bring
    up memories from before, right?
[06:32] Lisa
    I'm keeping my eyes on the future now.
[06:35] Lisa
    It's true that I still feel
    my fear of Dr. Giovanni,
[06:39] Lisa
    but I'm sure the moment is coming
    when I'll have to overcome him.
[06:43] Vulcan
    And when it does, I'll be there with
    you to knock him into next week!
[06:47] Vulcan
    There isn't much time left
    before the Great Cataclysm.
[06:49] Vulcan
    We are absolutely going to
    need Arthur's strength!
[06:52] Vulcan
    That's exactly why we need
    to get him to power up now!
[06:56] Arthur
    Is this a goblin nest?
[06:57] Vulcan
    But the idea that a fantasy gets better
    results than that training of his...
[06:58] Yu; background
    This is bad!
[06:59] Yu
    There's a huge swarm of rats coming this way!
[07:02] Arthur; background
    Keep your wits about you, Yu!
[07:02] Vulcan
    What are fire powers, anyway?
[07:04] Yu; background
    Sir!
[07:05] Arthur; background
    Box them in!
[07:05] Yu; background
    Sir!
[07:06] Vulcan
    What is Adolla?
[07:06] Arthur; background
    Go, Yu!
[07:07] Yu; background
    Sir!
[07:07] Arthur; background
    Get them, Yu!
[07:21] Shinra
    Lieutenant Konro.
[07:22] Konro
    What're you moping around in this room for?
    You're better now, aren't you?
[07:26] Shinra
    Yes, sir.
[07:29] Shinra
    Um, Lieutenant Konro?
[07:31] Konro
    What?
[07:32] Shinra
    You've had an Adolla Link, too, haven't you?
[07:36] Shinra
    Do you remember how you did it?
[07:41] Shinra
    I can't just wait around anymore.
[07:44] Shinra
    I want to head into Adolla myself.
[07:52] Lisa
    Vul, are you sure we can get back?
[07:54] Vulcan
    Labyrinths are just like circuits.
    I remember the way.
[07:58] Lisa
    We've been at this for an hour already.
[08:01] Vulcan
    Let him keep going until he feels satisfied.
[08:03] Vulcan
    He'll pick up some random piece of metal,
[08:06] Vulcan
    then we'll swap it for
    the alloy I have ready.
[08:10] Vulcan
    But going any deeper into the
    Nether is pretty dangerous.
[08:15] Lisa
    All right.
[08:16] Lisa
    Let's have the last boss show
    up so we can end all this.
[08:25] Lisa
    Turn back!
[08:27] Lisa
    I am the master of the abyss,
[08:29] Lisa
    and though the orichalcum lies
    just beyond, you may not have it!
[08:33] Lisa
    Turn back!
[08:36] Arthur
    Lisa, why is a grown woman
    playing silly games like this?
[08:38] Arthur
    Yu is watching, you know.
[08:40] Lisa
    Why do his instincts work
    for stuff like this?
[08:43] Lisa
    I swallowed my embarrassment to do this...
[08:45] Vulcan
    Don't do anything uncalled for!
[08:47] Vulcan
    That foolish move could've
    ruined this whole adventure!
[08:49] Lisa
    We've been doing this for an hour!
    He needs to hurry up and get tired of it!
[08:54] Lisa
    He's like a giant child!
[08:56] Yu
    Lisa-san, he's tired of it.
[08:58] Lisa
    Oh, I so want to kill him!
[09:00] Lisa
    You moronic dog, making us take you
    on a walk all the way out here!
[09:03] Lisa
    I'll show you who your master is!
[09:04] Vulcan
    Lisa, calm down!
[09:06] Vulcan
    We're doing this to save Tokyo!
[09:08] Lisa
    Why are you acting serious all of a sudden?
[09:11] Arthur
    I feel a presence.
[09:13] Yu
    Oh, stop it, Arthur. This is the Nether—
[09:15] Vulcan
    Arthur, are you serious?
[09:17] Arthur
    Stay back!
[09:20] Arthur
    Who goes there?
[09:34] Arthur's mom
    It really is you, Arthur!
[09:36] Arthur's dad
    It's been a long time.
[09:38] Arthur
    Father. Mother.
[09:41] Vulcan
    Oh, it's just his mother and father.
[09:44] Yu
    Honestly.
[09:46] Yu; Vulcan; Lisa
    What?!
[09:47] Arthur
    What are you doing here?
[09:48] Arthur's dad
    Didn't we tell you, Arthur?
[09:50] Arthur
    You don't mean...
[09:52] Vulcan
    Wait, what?!
[09:53] Arthur's dad
    Yes, that's right.
SIGN    To our dear son, Arthur,
    Your mother and father have gone on a journey to save the world!
    The castle is all yours!! As of today, you are the king!!!
[09:56] Arthur
    So you've saved the world, then!
[09:59] Lisa; Yu
    Vulcan, did you set this up, too?!
[10:01] Vulcan
    Of course I didn't!
[10:03] Arthur
    I would expect no less of you, Father,
    Mother. Father King, Mother King.
[10:07] Arthur
    Your actions never bring
    shame to the title of king.
[10:10] Arthur's mom
    From your appearance, you've become
    a fire soldier, haven't you?
[10:14] Arthur's dad
    You have fought to save the world,
    haven't you, my son?
[10:18] Arthur
    After you left on your journey,
    I became the Knight King.
[10:23] Arthur
    Fire soldier and Knight King.
    Wearing two hats was a tough job.
[10:28] Arthur's dad
    My son...
[10:30] Arthur's mom and dad
    You've grown up so well!
[10:32] Arthur
    Well, I am a knight.
[10:34] Vulcan
    Hang on.
[10:36] Vulcan
    You are Arthur's parents,
    and you say you've saved the world.
[10:40] Vulcan
    It's all so nonsensical that
    I can't quite keep up, so, um...
[10:44] Vulcan
    could you please explain?
[10:47] Arthur
    Vulcan, don't think. Feel.
[10:49] Vulcan
    And you should feel less
    and think a little more!
[10:52] Arthur's dad
    You're all associated with the
    fire soldiers, aren't you?
[10:55] Vulcan
    Yeah, that's right. We're all
    members of the 8th with Arthur.
[11:01] Arthur's mom
    We are the Resistance!
[11:03] Arthur's dad
    We act to correct the
    corruption in this empire!
[11:07] Vulcan
    The Resistance?
[11:09] Arthur's mom
    Well, to put it simply,
[11:11] Arthur's mom
    it's something we thought up when we
    had to flee our debts in the night
[11:14] Arthur's mom
    that would keep in line with
    this man's flights of fancy.
[11:16] Yu
    I'm sorry? What does that mean?
[11:18] Arthur's mom
    Basically, we're pretending to be the
    Resistance down here in the Nether.
[11:22] Lisa
    You've been doing that in the
    Nether for all these years?
[11:25] Yu
    Why would you play along with
    something so ridiculous?!
[11:28] Arthur's mom
    We couldn't let him come
    to the Nether alone.
[11:31] Arthur's mom
    Arthur was just a child, so we
    couldn't bring him with us,
[11:35] Arthur's mom
    but despite my husband's flaws, I love him.
[11:39] Lisa
    So you just left Arthur behind?
[11:44] Arthur
    That's my mother for you. So very wise.
[11:47] Arthur's dad
    We did both that and this, all of it,
    to prevent a crisis from befalling the world.
[11:50] Vulcan
    A crisis befall the world? You don't—
[11:52] Arthur's mom
    The Holy Sol Temple,
    which worships the sun deity,
[11:55] Arthur's mom
    was created to control people.
[11:59] Arthur's mom
    The Evangelist, a being from a higher plane,
[12:02] Arthur's mom
    is trying to create another Great Cataclysm
    in order to destroy the world.
[12:07] Lisa
    How do you know that?
[12:09] Arthur's mom
    And they say that spontaneous human
    combustion occurs when another version
[12:12] Arthur's mom
    of ourselves from another
    world interacts with us here.

    Wait, please!
[12:26] Vulcan
    Where'd you hear all this about
    the Evangelist and other worlds?
[12:28] Arthur's mom
    We didn't hear about them.
    They're all my husband's fantasies.
[12:33] Vulcan
    Mister, how did you...
[12:35] Arthur's dad
    That's difficult to answer, but...
[12:40] Arthur's dad
    it's because I'm a seer.
[12:44] Arthur's dad
    Our restaurant went out of business
    because of food poisoning and a fire.
[12:47] Arthur's dad
    Back then, our family was in dire straits.
[12:47] newscaster; female
    The cause of the fire, which started inside the
    restaurant, was declared unknown yesterday.
[12:52] newscaster; female
    The restaurant that burned recently
    suffered an outbreak of food poisoning.
[12:53] Arthur's dad
    All I could do was run
    from reality like this.
[12:55] newscaster; female
    Along with the loss of trust that resulted,
    this fire has dealt it a grave blow.
[13:09] (Flashback) young Arthur
    Why were you looking at
    the inside of your hat?
[13:11] (Flashback) young Arthur
    Can you see something in there?
[13:18] Arthur's dad
    Arthur, your mom and I are going
    on a journey to save the world.
[13:24] Arthur's mom
    We love you.
[13:30] Arthur's dad
    Take care, now.
[13:36] Arthur's dad
    Ever since that day,
[13:37] Arthur's dad
    if I look inside my hat like
    this when I'm feeling lost,
[13:40] Arthur's dad
    I can see a sky full of stars.
[13:45] Arthur's dad
    When I look at those stars, I understand...
[13:48] Arthur's dad
    the truth of this world.
[13:50] Yu
    Arthur-san, are these really your parents?
[13:53] Arthur
    Of course they are. Tricks don't work on me.
[13:56] Arthur
    How could I ever mistake them?
[13:58] Lisa
    Vulcan.
[14:00] Vulcan
    It's too much for this to
    just be a coincidence.
[14:02] Vulcan
    Did you show up here
    because you had a vision?
[14:05] Arthur's dad
    I felt like my son would come here.
[14:08] Arthur's dad
    Arthur, you came here looking
    for something, didn't you?
[14:12] Arthur
    I did indeed, Father.
[14:14] Arthur
    I came here looking for orichalcum in
    order to forge the True Excalibur.
[14:18] Arthur's dad
    Come with me.
[14:24] Lisa
    Vul, you trust people way too quickly.
[14:27] Lisa
    That's why I was able to trick you so easil—
[14:30] Vulcan
    But you're with us now, right?
[14:32] Lisa
    Y-Yeah, I am, but...
[14:41] Lisa
    What's with the mountain of junk?
[14:44] Yu
    You know, at night, when you get déjà vu...
[14:46] Arthur
    Knight?
[14:46] Yu
    Not that kind of night.
[14:48] Arthur's mom
    This technology is from
    before the Great Cataclysm.
[14:51] Arthur's mom
    We've gathered some of those machines here.
[14:54] Vulcan
    Really?
[14:56] Vulcan
    I've never seen junk parts like these.
    Is this some kind of device?
[15:01] Arthur's dad
    If I remember correctly, somewhere
    around here... Oh, here it is.
[15:06] Arthur's dad
    This is it.
[15:08] Arthur
    What is it?
[15:09] Vulcan
    Could it be...
[15:11] Vulcan
    Is that a nose fairing from a space rocket?
[15:14] Arthur's dad
    You seem to know a lot about it.
[15:16] Vulcan
    This is made of a special aluminum alloy.
[15:19] Vulcan
    Two or three thousand degrees of
    heat won't even make it flinch.
[15:22] Vulcan
    That's how heat-resistant and sturdy it is!
[15:25] Arthur
    Dark matter that has traveled through space.
[15:27] Arthur
    In other words, a fragment of a star.
[15:29] Arthur
    If the holy sword were forged from this...
[15:30] Yu
    You have it wrong. Weren't you listening?
    It's part of a rocket, not a meteo—
[15:34] Lisa
    Shh!
[15:37] Yu
    He's moving his fantasy along!
[15:42] Yu
    Who was that?
[15:43] Arthur's younger siblings
    Dad! Mom!
[15:45] Arthur's dad
    We're back.
[15:46] Arthur's mom
    Were you good?
[15:47] Arthur's younger siblings
    Yeah.
[15:48] Yu
    What?! No way! Kids?!
[15:49] Yu
    What? How?
[15:51] Yu
    And there are three of them!
[15:52] Yu
    How?!
[15:53] Arthur's dad
    We had them after coming to the Nether.
[15:55] Yu
    What do you mean, you "had them"?
    After you left him behind?
[16:00] Lisa
    Yu, that's enough! Every family
    has their own circumstances.
[16:03] Yu
    Wait! It just isn't right, is it?
[16:06] Yu
    What about Arthur's place?
    Why'd they have kids?
[16:09] Yu
    They said they left Arthur because they
    couldn't bring a kid into the Nether!
[16:12] Yu
    I just feel so horrible for poor Arthur!
[16:17] Yu
    That's lucky. He isn't listening.
[16:20] Vulcan
    Arthur!
[16:21] Vulcan
    I can forge you an even better sword with this
    than with the fake orichalcum I have ready!
[16:25] Yu
    Hey, Vulcan! You said it out loud!
    You said you got it ready!
SIGN    Splutter
[16:29] Yu
    You're exposing this farce
    that we've been acting out!
[16:32] Arthur
    Really, Vulcan? That means we've done it!
[16:34] Yu
    Hooray! He doesn't hear anything
    that doesn't fit his scenario!
[16:39] Vulcan
    This is crazy! I'm starting to fantasize, too!
[16:40] Yu
    What is with these people? I'm scared!
    It's dark! It's so dark here!
[16:43] Lisa
    All that's left is to go back to the
    surface and forge the sword, okay?
[16:46] Vulcan
    Let's get forging!
[16:47] Arthur
    Excalibur!
[17:01] Yu
    For some reason, I feel really tired.
[17:04] Lisa
    Arthur, what happened with your family?
[17:07] Arthur
    They haven't been above ground in a while.
    They're looking around town.
[17:11] Yu
    The Boyle family's all about freedom, huh?
[17:15] Vulcan
    All right. Everything's ready!
[17:17] Vulcan
    Next, I'm pouring it into this thing!
[17:19] Arthur
    I'll watch!
[17:28] Lisa
    Now, this is enough to get anyone excited!
[17:38] Yu
    Watch out! That's dangerous!
[17:39] Yu
    Even if you're a third generation,
    that has to be hot!
[17:43] Vulcan
    A sword made of a rocket.
    There's a certain romanticism in that.
[17:47] Lisa
    All that hard work was worth it, huh?
[17:50] Lisa
    I've never seen Arthur
    look this happy before.
[17:55] Arthur
    Come to my hand, holy sword!
[18:27] Yu
    The construction of the sheath
    is just about finished.
[18:29] Lisa
    The belt to hang the sword from is done, too.
[18:31] Vulcan
    All right! Just one last push!
[18:38] Yu
    Arthur-san! Hurry up! Hurry!
[18:41] Vulcan
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
    Look! We've finished it!
[18:57] Arthur
    This is...
[19:00] Arthur
    Vulcan, I thank you.
[19:03] Arthur
    I swear upon this blade,
[19:05] Arthur
    I will never lose to anyone ever again!
[19:10] Vulcan
    I'm counting on you, Knight King!
[19:17] Maki
    Arthur!
[19:19] Maki
    I heard you found your parents.
    You must be so happy!
[19:24] Maki
    What's that?
SIGN    It was fun being above ground after so long.
    We're leaving on another journey.
    See you around.
    Your father
[19:28] Maki
    What? Again?
[19:34] Iris; narration
    Maki had a thought.
[19:36] Iris; narration
    As she gazed at the profile of
    this man who didn't understand
[19:40] Iris; narration
    he'd been abandoned by his parents twice,
[19:42] Iris; narration
    she thought, now that he'd
    obtained the real holy sword,
[19:45] Iris; narration
    he had become the Knight King
    who would save the world.
[19:53] Benimaru
    Look, you're tensing up again.
[19:56] Shinra
    Um, I asked Lieutenant Konro about
    how to initiate an Adolla Link.
[20:01] Benimaru
    Konro told me. You're planning
    to go raid Adolla, right?
[20:06] Shinra
    Captain Shinmon, do you
    know a way to raid Adolla?
[20:10] Benimaru
    Nope. No idea.
[20:11] Shinra
    Huh?
[20:12] Benimaru
    But if this Evangelist is a god,
    then it's not like there aren't ways.
[20:17] Shinra
    Then what I'm doing right now is...
[20:19] Benimaru
    Third eye.
[20:21] Benimaru
    Once you awaken it, you can connect to
    the universe, or higher dimensions,
[20:25] Benimaru
    even to the seat of a god... or so they say.
[20:30] Shinra
    Connect to higher dimensions?
[20:32] Shinra
    Third eye?
[20:35] Shinra
    What do I need to do to awaken my third eye?
[20:38] Benimaru
    First, relax your entire body.
[20:40] Benimaru
    Feel the earth through
    the palms of your hands.
[20:43] Benimaru
    Close your eyes and unify
    your consciousness.
[20:45] Benimaru
    Become one with the earth
    and quiet your spirit.
[20:51] Shinra
    Become one with the earth.
[20:56] Benimaru
    I can't feel anything, so I
    always fall asleep like that.
[21:00] Shinra
    The earth. Unified consciousness.
[21:03] Shinra
    Become one.
[21:06] Shinra
    Sleep.
[21:09] Benimaru
    Don't fall asleep, moron!
[21:11] Benimaru
    A long time ago, my predecessor
    made me do this,
[21:14] Benimaru
    but since I lack faith, all I
    could do was take a nice nap.
[21:18] Benimaru
    But you...
[21:20] Shinra
    It makes sense that you don't believe!
[21:22] Shinra
    As the God of Destruction,
    people believe in you.
[21:26] Shinra
    I believe in you, too!
[21:30] Benimaru
    What're you talking about, kid?
[21:32] Benimaru
    Keep going.
[21:33] Shinra
    Yes, sir.
[21:35] Benimaru
    I'm gonna go do some gambling.
[22:19] Shinra
    Sho!
[22:24] Sho
    Who are you?
[22:27] Shinra
    We meet again.
[22:37] Sho
    Big brother.
