[00:00] Gi
    German poet Friedrich von Schiller once said,
[00:05] Gi
    "A courageous person thinks
    of themselves last."
[00:11] Gi
    I see.
[00:13] Gi
    You're a courageous person, aren't you?
[00:16] Gi
    I didn't expect you'd come to see me.
[00:19] Gi
    Recklessness is courage.
[00:21] Gi
    In response to your feelings,
[00:23] Gi
    I, Awaza Kodama, will sing just for you!
[00:29] T
    I'm counting on you, Single Gear!
[00:46] Gi
    Now, let it resound within you.
[00:49] Gi
    Carve it into your soul!
[02:22] Gu
    His wounds aren't insignificant,
[02:23] Gu
    and he does have a fever,
[02:25] Gu
    but his life's in no danger.
[02:28] Gu
    It's a result of getting hurt in the battle
[02:32] Gu
    and jumping into the water while exhausted.
[02:35] Gu
    Not only was his body kept
    cold for several hours,
[02:37] Gu
    bacteria probably got in through the wound.
[02:41] Gu
    We can make any number of guesses,
[02:44] ---
    but we don't know for sure.
[02:48] T
    At a time like this...
[02:50] Gu
    This is bad.
[02:52] Gu
    Even though wounds sustained in the Ziggurat
    are greatly reduced upon returning here,
[02:57] Gu
    he took serious damage last time.
[03:01] Gu
    For now, just think about getting better.
[03:05] T
    Aren't I going to get worse?
[03:07] T
    Am I just going to get better now?
[03:09] Gu
    No. Even thinking as positively as possible,
[03:12] Gu
    it's going to get worse.
[03:15] T
    Then while I can still move...
[03:17] Gu
    Tazuna-kun,
[03:18] Gu
    you can't fight like this.
[03:22] Gu
    And if you do fight
[03:25] Gu
    it might kill you, even in the Ziggurat.
[03:28] T
    The one whose life is at
    risk here is Koyori, right?
[03:31] T
    You know we can't escape
    that Hand Shaker, right?
[03:35] T
    The difference in our
    power is far too large,
[03:37] T
    and I'm wounded.
[03:39] T
    Will they just sit back and do nothing when
    they've got an advantage like that?
[03:43] T
    I know I would finish them...
[03:47] Gu
    But...
[03:48] T
    If I lose, Koyori dies.
[03:51] T
    Right?
[03:53] T
    I'm going to protect Koyori.
[03:56] Gu
    No.
[03:56] T
    Makihara-sensei!
[03:57] Gu
    It's true that, as you say,
[04:00] ---
    your defeat will mean Koyori's death.
[04:03] Gu
    But even so,
[04:06] Gu
    no.
[04:07] T
    Why?
[04:08] Gu
    The odds are just too low.
[04:11] Gu
    Tell me everything you know about your enemy.
[04:13] Gu
    As a former Hand Shaker, I'll analyze them.
[04:18] Gu
    I'll try and heal you, too.
[04:19] Gu
    So...
[04:21] T
    All right.
[04:25] T
    You're right. I wasn't thinking clearly.
[04:28] T
    I can't see myself winning now.
[04:30] T
    I'll rest.
[04:31] Gu
    Good.
[04:33] Gu
    I promise good news.
[04:39] Gu
    Get some sleep, Tazuna-kun.
[04:53] T
    Makihara-sensei is too overconfident.
[04:56] T
    Positive? Hah.
[04:57] T
    He's just been optimistic and indecisive...
[05:01] T
    Does he really want to save you?
[05:06] T
    Don't worry.
[05:08] T
    I'll protect you.
[05:12] (Flashback) Gi
    Brother...
[05:14] (Flashback) T
    That isn't Takatsuki Musubu, your sister.
[05:18] T
    It's true that yes,
[05:21] T
    at first you were a replacement for Musubu.
[05:25] T
    I thought that I could never
    let go like I did with Musubu.
[05:30] T
    But now it's different.
[05:33] T
    I'll protect you, Koyori.
[05:34] T
    I promise!
[05:37] T
    I'm the only one who can!
[05:41] T
    The fever medicine's working.
[05:46] T
    I know where they are,
[05:48] T
    because she gave us her idol name.
[05:51] T
    I was able to find them.
[05:54] T
    Even if something happens to me,
[05:57] T
    I'll defeat those two.
[06:01] T
    Koyori, let's go!
[06:06] Gi
    Tazuna?
[06:07] Gi
    You have to lie down.
[06:08] Gi
    Makihara-sensei said you need rest.
[06:12] T
    I have somewhere I have to go.
[06:14] Gi
    Koyori-chan looks upset.
[06:17] T
    It's for Koyori's sake.
[06:20] Gi
    But...
[06:22] Gi
    Tazuna, lately you've
    been getting hurt a lot.
[06:27] T
    Shut up! Leave me alone!
[06:28] Gu
    Tazuna!
[06:29] Gu
    Look at Koyori-chan's face
[06:32] ---
    and tell me you're doing it for her sake.
[06:41] T
    Shut up.
[06:42] Gi
    Tazuna!
[06:43] Gu
    Tazuna, wait!
[06:44] T
    No matter what Koyori thinks,
[06:46] T
    I have to win!
[06:51] Gi
    So this is your world after all.
[06:56] Gi
    But yesterday you fought here and lost.
[07:01] T
    So this is the effect of my Nimrod?
[07:05] T
    It knows us?
[07:07] ---
    Yes.
[07:08] ---
    But don't get the wrong idea.
[07:10] T
    The reason I fought here last time
[07:12] ---
    was because I wanted to win in your world.
[07:15] T
    That won't change this time either.
[07:26] T
    First I'll destroy her Nimrod,
    which amplifies her power!
[07:30] Gu
    Me?
[07:32] T
    I'll defeat him before she can intervene!
[07:34] ---
    Oh, dear.
[07:37] Gu
    Hey, I'm in the middle of one
    of Kodama-chan's concerts.
[07:42] Gi
    It's true that you can leave
    the concert at any time, but...
[07:46] Gi
    That's a shame.
[07:51] Gi
    Hibiki-san, are you okay?
[07:53] Gu
    Yes, I'm all right!
[08:02] Gu
    Flash!
[08:08] T
    Damn it!
[08:09] T
    He's strong.
[08:10] Gu
    Aww, no I'm not.
[08:14] Gu
    I'm not strong at all.
[08:17] Gu
    But my one job of being a manager,
[08:19] Gu
    and letting my idol's voice resound...
[08:21] Gu
    I take seriously!
[08:35] T
    Oh, no!
[08:36] Gi
    Of course Awaza Kodama's manager
    is going to be good at his job.
[08:42] Gi
    Let the concert begin!
[09:00] T
    I feel a different power than yesterday.
[09:03] T
    Her song and dance are amplifying
    her Nimrod's power even more.
[09:38] T
    I can't lose...
[09:50] T
    I'll protect her...
[09:52] T
    I'll protect Koyori...
[09:54] T
    No matter what happens to me.
[09:56] Gi
    Mahatma Gandhi once said
[09:59] ---
    that strength doesn't come from the body,
[10:03] Gi
    it comes from an unbreakable will.
[10:06] Gi
    And that describes you to a T.
[10:09] Gi
    But...
[10:11] Gi
    The concert's about to end.
[10:14] Gi
    No encores.
[10:17] T
    I won't let that happen...
[10:25] K
    Together...
[10:30] K
    I want to be...
[10:36] ---
    with Tazuna...
[10:42] T
    Koyori?
[11:28] T
    Koyori's Nimrod?
[11:41] Gu
    Kodama-chan!
[11:43] Gi
    I know!
[11:46] K
    I'll protect Tazuna.
[11:48] K
    I'll stay with him.
[11:53] T
    I see.
[12:01] T
    We're together.
[12:06] T
    Will you fight with me, Koyori?
[12:12] K
    Yeah, Tazuna!
[12:15] T
    The two worlds aren't mixing...
[12:18] Gi
    But they're becoming one.
[12:21] Gi
    Is this your Nimrod?
[12:23] Gu
    The gears are overlapping!
[12:25] Gu
    Kinda like a sprocket gear...
[12:28] K
    Sprocket... Gear.
[12:31] T
    I bet that castle is Koyori's heart.
[12:34] Gi
    Hibiki-san, now's not the
    time to be impressed.
[12:37] Gu
    That's right!
[12:39] Gu
    Oh, I'm done!
[12:40] Gu
    Let it resound, Kodama-chan.
[12:42] Gi
    Yeah.
[12:43] Gi
    Now I've seen your power.
[12:46] Gi
    I'll carve it into both of you!
[12:53] K
    If I'm with you, Tazuna, I can do it.
[12:56] T
    Yeah.
[13:07] Gi
    My songs...
[13:08] Gu
    Kodama-chan!
[13:24] T
    Gear skates... is this Koyori's power?
[13:27] K
    The power you gave me, Tazuna.
[13:33] K
    I was able to mesh with Tazuna!
[13:36] Gi
    They're behind me!
[13:42] Both
    We're meshing!
[13:54] Gi
    They figured out how I move
    from the battles so far?
[13:57] Gi
    It can't be...
[14:07] Gi
    I've come this far,
[14:08] Gi
    and won so many battles...
[14:10] Gi
    Awaza Kodama cannot leave this stage.
[14:15] Gu
    Kodama-chan, no!
[14:17] Gi
    I won't run.
[14:20] Gi
    If I run, I, Awaza Kodama,
[14:23] Gi
    will cease to be Awaza Kodama!
[14:26] Gi
    To make our dreams come true,
[14:28] Gi
    I can't lose or run away.
[14:32] T
    Let's go, Koyori!
[14:33] K
    Yeah, Tazuna!
[14:47] Gi
    My... my dream...
[14:52] Gi
    No...
[15:10] Gi
    It's over...
[15:17] Gu
    You lost, that's all, right?
[15:20] Gi
    I lost!
[15:25] Gi
    I lost...
[15:28] Gi
    It's over...
[15:30] Gi
    No! It was over a long time ago!
[15:35] Gi
    My songs are for all my fans?
[15:39] Gi
    Who are my fans? Where are they?
[15:43] Gi
    Opinions on my concerts?

    I searched online and

    Because of that president, I've barely
    got access to any concert halls.
[15:51] Gi
    If I'd known this was going to happen,
    I would've taken him up on his offer!
[15:55] Gi
    I would've given up on the name Awaza Kodama,

    My favorite quotes
    Use them if you like!
[16:16] Gi
    It's the same with me being a Hand Shaker!
[16:19] Gi
    I know that!
[16:21] Gi
    The reason I was able to win so far was
    because you picked my opponents, wasn't it?
[16:28] Gu
    You knew?
[16:30] Gi
    I know.
[16:32] Gi
    You were working with that doctor.
[16:36] Gi
    You promised not to fight each other,
[16:38] Gi
    and to exchange information,
[16:40] Gi
    avoiding opponents who'd have
    an advantage against us
[16:43] Gi
    and choosing opponents even I could beat.
[16:46] Gi
    Otherwise someone like me
    would've lost a long time ago.
[16:52] Gu
    I didn't fight them because they didn't
    want to fight you, Kodama-chan.
[16:57] Gu
    Otherwise they would've
    come after us earlier.
[17:01] Gu
    That's who they...
[17:02] Gi
    Shut up!
[17:03] Gi
    Either way, I lost.
[17:06] Gi
    It's over now.
[17:08] Gi
    You really are a fool.
[17:11] Gi
    You did all this for a girl
    who can't do anything and
[17:14] Gi
    bought into my delusions
    about being an idol.
[17:18] Gi
    You even quit your job...
[17:20] Gi
    You threw your whole life
    into the mud for me!
[17:39] Gu
    You're right.
[17:42] Gu
    It is in the mud.
[17:44] Gu
    But that's nothing new, Kodama-chan.
[17:49] Gu
    We never won at anything, did we?
[17:53] Gu
    We're just an underground
    idol and her manager.
[17:57] Gu
    So we're in the mud.
[17:59] Gu
    You can't get arrogant about it,
[18:02] Gu
    but I believe in you.
[18:06] Gu
    We lost in the Ziggurat,
[18:08] Gu
    but even if we don't borrow
    power from God there
[18:11] ---
    and try to make our dreams
    come true that way,
[18:14] Gu
    my dream will come true, Kodama-chan.
[18:16] Gi
    Why?
[18:18] Gu
    Because you're Awaza Kodama-chan.
[18:23] Gu
    You are my dream.
[18:26] Gu
    Otherwise I wouldn't have
    stopped being your fan,
[18:30] ---
    which had been the goal of my life,
[18:32] Gu
    and become your manager.
[18:36] Gu
    I wouldn't have let my whole life
    revolve a girl younger than me,
[18:40] ---
    who I'm not in love with.
[18:42] Gu
    Kodama-chan...
[18:46] Gu
    Kodama-chan, you do have a fan.
[18:58] Gu
    Do you need the help of a manager?
[19:05] Gi
    Just for this one moment...
[19:07] Gi
    Even when I sing in town,
    nobody listens to me.
[19:11] Gi
    Even though I barely have any fans, or jobs...
[19:14] Gi
    You really are a fool, Hibiki-san.
[19:21] Gi
    But that's what makes you Awaza
    Kodama's skilled manager!
[19:26] Gi
    I was prepared to reluctantly retire
[19:29] Gi
    and go back to being a normal girl, but...
[19:34] Gi
    If my fans, and my manager,
    want me to stay I guess I will.
[19:39] Gi
    Okay, go make my dream come true.
[19:43] Gi
    I'll send the two of them a pair of tickets,
[19:46] Gi
    and shake their hands and make them
    understand what an amazing idol they got
[19:51] ---
    to hear up close.
[19:54] Gi
    So what's our next job?
[19:57] Gi
    Sun Tzu said that the art
    of war is all about speed.
[20:02] Gi
    Huh?
[20:03] Gi
    Is that right...
[20:04] ---
    Um...
[20:06] Gi
    Anyway, time is important!
[20:08] Gi
    Kodama-chan!
[20:10] Gi
    That's my Kodama-chan!
[20:12] Gi
    It's resounding within me,
[20:14] Gi
    since my name's Hibiki.
[20:16] Gi
    I've been meaning to say this for a while,
[20:18] Gi
    but I'm pretty sure that's not why.
[20:21] Gu
    Oh, right.
[20:22] Gu
    That concert that got canceled...
[20:24] Gu
    Can you leave your schedule open?
[20:27] Gi
    But...
[20:28] Gu
    I got an appointment with President Nabeta.
[20:31] Gi
    Hibiki-san, that won't...
[20:35] Gi
    No, let's try it.
[20:38] Gi
    Nothing is impossible for Awaza Kodama.
[20:40] Gu
    That's my Kodama-chan!
[20:42] Gu
    Your self-confidence resounds within me,
[20:43] Gu
    because I'm Hibiki.
[20:52] T
    Koyori, I'm really sorry.
[20:56] T
    We won thanks to you.
[20:59] T
    I couldn't do anything on my own.
[21:03] T
    But I ran ahead on my own...
[21:08] T
    I was so convinced I had to do something.
[21:13] K
    You always protected me.
[21:20] K
    Thank you,
[21:23] K
    for being with me.
[21:31] T
    You, too...
[21:33] T
    Thanks for being with me.
[23:11] T
    Koyori's world expanded.
[23:13] T
    Amidst a peace where they
    are blessed together,
[23:15] T
    the young man looks up at the sky and asks,
[23:18] T
    "If I ever could let go of this hand,
[23:22] T
    what would happen then?"
[23:24] T
    The girl looks down at their clasped hands
[23:27] T
    and answers with a sigh.
