[00:30] ---
This is Luo Chang...?!
[00:33] ---
We were here until just recently, too...
[00:38] ---
Something isn't right...
[00:39] ---
Yeah, it's too quiet.
[00:41] ---
The hair on the back of
my neck is tingling...
[00:44] ---
There's almost always trouble
when that happens...
[00:58] ---
See?
[01:03] ---
Yes, unsure of ourselves,
we'll again set forth
[01:08] ---
on our paths, even though they never cross
[01:13] ---
It wouldn't matter if we
ran into each other anyway
[01:18] ---
in order to obtain it
[01:25] ---
I was lost in the void
[01:29] ---
between truth and lies
[01:35] ---
I was betrayed by a kind smile
[01:40] ---
that never doubted our pictured future
[01:48] ---
Yes, unsure of ourselves,
we'll again race along
[01:53] ---
our paths, even though they never cross
[01:58] ---
It wouldn't matter if we
ran into each other anyway
[02:03] ---
in order to get it back
[02:05] ---
The reason I always chased
after you without forgetting
[02:10] ---
can't be expressed with words,
[02:13] ---
because it's invisible to the eye
[02:15] ---
feel my soul believe my heart
[02:18] ---
Even now, the future from back then
[02:20] ---
is shining inside our hearts
[02:38] ---
There are so many of them...
[02:39] ---
Damn, why can't I ever be
wrong about these things?
[02:44] ---
They're all Luo Chang citizens...
[02:47] ---
This is just like what
happened with my master...
[02:50] ---
Hosei...
[02:51] ---
Killed for no reason, and then
used like a tool after death...!
[02:57] ---
That's gotta be hard...
That's gotta be painful...
[03:04] ---
There are too many of
'em for us to deal with.
[03:07] ---
I know!
[03:09] ---
Just hang in there a little longer!
We'll put you out of your misery soon!
[03:13] ---
There is one thing we must do!
[03:16] ---
Defeat Keiro and let the
townspeople rest in peace!
[03:20] ---
Our destination is Cai Fei Castle.
We need to beat the mustached bastard!
[03:26] ---
Let's go!
[03:27] ---
Yeah!
[03:30] ---
"Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dubhe God"
[03:46] ---
Lady Choka...
[03:47] ---
The Alkaid is in the capital.
[03:50] ---
Taito...
[03:52] ---
I see. So he came after all.
[03:55] ---
Answer me.
[03:56] ---
Will you kill the Alkaid for Lord Keiro,
[03:59] ---
or will you lose your own life instead?
[04:02] ---
My answer will not change.
[04:04] ---
I cannot assist with the Dubhe's--
no, Keiro's-- twisted ambitions!
[04:11] ---
They didn't bother you before.
[04:14] ---
Though it was only for a
short time, I did side with Keiro
[04:17] ---
and participate in this atrocity.
[04:20] ---
I must atone for what I have done.
[04:24] ---
I see. So you're prepared to die.
[04:28] ---
In that case, you will get your wish.
[04:47] ---
So this is the end...
[04:54] ---
I've little time left.
[04:57] ---
In which case...
[05:05] ---
The Zhu Que Gate!
[05:07] ---
Once we're on the other side,
Keiro will be dead-ahead!
[05:09] ---
Stop right there!
[05:12] ---
You...!
[05:14] ---
Detestable Alkaid boy! All you
ever do is stand in Lord Keiro's way!
[05:20] ---
Just let us through. You have no
chance of winning all by yourself!
[05:23] ---
No, this is who you'll be fighting.
[05:27] ---
Look out!
[05:38] ---
It couldn't be...!
[05:43] ---
Ryuko, what are you...?!
[05:46] ---
No!
[05:48] ---
You must stay away from me!
[05:50] ---
What's going on, Ryuko?!
[05:56] ---
Taito!
[05:58] ---
What the hell are you doing?!
[06:00] ---
Wait! It's not what you think!
That wasn't Ryuko's doing!
[06:04] ---
Exactly right.
[06:05] ---
He's now under the control of Lord Keiro!
[06:19] ---
Stop Ryuko, everyone!
At this rate, Taito's going to die!
[06:23] ---
The only way to stop him is to kill him!
[06:26] ---
You can't be serious...
[06:29] ---
Let Taito handle this.
[06:32] ---
Ryuko...
[06:37] ---
Ryuko... I won't fight you.
[06:47] ---
I still...!
[06:52] ---
"Friendship", huh? What rubbish.
[06:56] ---
Finish him now!
[07:02] ---
I have faith in you!
[07:09] ---
No more, Taito...!
[07:12] ---
Kill me...!
[07:14] ---
What?!
[07:15] ---
I can't atone for what
I've done as I am now...
[07:21] ---
Please! Kill me at once!
[07:24] ---
Are you crazy?! I can't do that!
[07:26] ---
What are you doing?!
Put an end to the Alkaid!
[07:44] ---
Taito! Kill me!
[07:46] ---
I'll end up killing you if you don't!
[07:50] ---
Only you, the Alkaid, have
the power to defeat Keiro!
[07:55] ---
The world can't afford you dying here!
[08:00] ---
The same is true for you!
[08:02] ---
There's no one who deserves to die!
[08:06] ---
That's a messed-up way of thinking...
[08:08] ---
Besides, you'll make Rinmei cry if you die...
[08:15] ---
You'll make Laila and
Hosei and everyone sad...
[08:21] ---
I won't die... And I won't let you die...
[08:26] ---
We're friends, after all!
[08:31] ---
After all I've done, you
still call me a friend?
[08:40] ---
Absurd! He's trying to
fight Lord Keiro's power?!
[08:46] ---
You asked me to choose whether
to kill Taito or lose my own life...!
[08:52] ---
This... is my answer!
[08:55] ---
Don't, Ryuko!
[08:57] ---
Forgive me.
[09:00] ---
Ryuko!
[09:04] ---
Ryuko!
[09:05] ---
Ryuko!
[09:10] ---
Shokaku! What do you think you're doing?!
[09:13] ---
He is necessary for stopping
the madness Keiro has begun.
[09:16] ---
Curse you! You dare to
defy Lord Keiro as well?!
[09:24] ---
That glow...!
[09:42] ---
Damn you...
[09:44] ---
In your condition, you will
be of little use to Keiro now.
[09:54] ---
Hang in there, Ryuko!
[09:56] ---
What is this...?!
[09:59] ---
Mizar and the Wan Xiang Shi Ming's
dark magic are fighting inside him.
[10:04] ---
Th-That doesn't sound good!
[10:06] ---
If left alone, he'll burst open and die.
[10:11] ---
What?!
[10:14] ---
I won't let that happen.
[10:22] ---
What is this...?!
[10:25] ---
Mizar and the Wan Xiang Shi Ming's
dark magic are fighting inside him.
[10:29] ---
Th-That doesn't sound good!
[10:31] ---
If left alone, he'll burst open and die.
[10:36] ---
What?!
[10:39] ---
I won't let that happen.
[10:49] ---
Endure it for just a little longer.
[10:51] ---
What are you going to do?
[10:53] ---
I will use my energy to dispel the
Wan Xiang Shi Ming's dark magic.
[10:57] ---
You can do that?!
[10:59] ---
Sir Ryuko is already close to
overcoming the spell using his own will.
[11:04] ---
I am simply going to give
a little added help.
[11:22] ---
The reaction is stronger than I expected.
[11:25] ---
I just hope I can last long enough...
[11:32] ---
Our stars are resonating...
[11:36] ---
Ryuko...
[11:41] ---
H-Hey! Are you...?!
[11:43] ---
I am fine. My life was
already nearing its end.
[11:49] ---
It is my fault that this has happened...
[11:51] ---
But there is still something
that you must do!
[12:09] ---
Alioth...
[12:11] ---
So all Five Divine Warriors
have sided with the Alkaid...
[12:17] ---
No matter.
[12:27] ---
Ryuko...
[12:30] ---
Rinmei...
[12:32] ---
Thank goodness...
[12:33] ---
Hurray!
[12:35] ---
Man, you really had us scared there!
[12:39] ---
Stand up, Ryuko.
[12:43] ---
I am not fit to take your hand.
[12:45] ---
Ryuko!
[12:51] ---
Sir Shokaku!
[12:56] ---
Forgive me, Lord Keiro.
[13:00] ---
The Alkaid has broken
through the Zhu Que Gate.
[13:03] ---
He will be here at any moment.
[13:06] ---
Shokaku has betrayed you
and sided with the Alkaid.
[13:11] ---
I know.
[13:15] ---
It's only us two now...
[13:18] ---
It's just like when you took me in...
[13:24] ---
Please use this body any way you see fit!
Let me be of use to you!
[13:43] ---
Very well.
[13:51] ---
Sir Shokaku. Why did you
do this for me, of all people?
[13:55] ---
It was because of me that
you lost your way...
[14:01] ---
The Tale of the Big Dipper
says that the confrontation
[14:06] ---
between Alkaid and Dubhe
will bring great turmoil...
[14:10] ---
It didn't matter to me which one prevailed,
[14:14] ---
as long as it meant being
able to rebuild this empire...
[14:17] ---
But... Keiro strayed from his path.
[14:23] ---
All I wish is for this land to have peace...
[14:28] ---
Just as you do, Sir Ryuko...
[14:32] ---
However, I no longer have the
ability to accomplish that wish...
[14:39] ---
Might I entrust it to you instead?
[14:43] ---
I lost my way, though. Just like Keiro.
[14:48] ---
You still have time to mend your mistakes.
[14:52] ---
And friends who will wait for you...
[14:59] ---
Please go...
[15:02] ---
And bring a new dawn... to this land...
[15:09] ---
Sir Shokaku! Sir Shokaku!
[15:14] ---
He was prepared from
the start to die to save you.
[15:26] ---
Please, Taito! Let me fight
alongside you one more time!
[15:32] ---
Man, you're as straight-laced as ever!
[15:38] ---
If you make a mistake, just try again.
[15:41] ---
Your mistakes have given you
the chance to start all over.
[15:45] ---
T-Taito...
[15:47] ---
He's right, Ryuko.
[15:49] ---
If we put our heads together,
I'm sure we'll find a better answer.
[15:53] ---
Rinmei...
[16:00] ---
We will stop Keiro,
and bring peace to this land!
[16:05] ---
That was Sir Shokaku's wish!
[16:15] ---
Looks like no one's home...
[16:17] ---
Keiro's in the throne room. Let's hurry!
[16:20] ---
Yeah!
[16:34] ---
You guys go on ahead.
[16:36] ---
We need to stop Keiro as quickly as possible.
[16:39] ---
There's no time to get hung up here!
[16:41] ---
Got it!
[16:50] ---
All right, girls. You're dealing with me!
[16:59] ---
What?!
[17:05] ---
Now this is a little unexpected...!
[17:15] ---
You fools dare interfere with Lord Keiro...
[17:19] ---
...despite the fact that
destruction is inevitable...
[17:24] ---
Choka?!
[17:24] ---
I'll handle this!
[17:26] ---
Rinmei!
[17:28] ---
Go! You have something you have to do!
[17:32] ---
Let's go!
[17:42] ---
You're still going to fight,
even after being seriously hurt?!
[17:46] ---
Is that Keiro's way of doing things?!
[17:49] ---
I commend you for remaining
behind for your man's sake.
[17:54] ---
But...!
[17:57] ---
I have offered my all to Lord Keiro!
[18:00] ---
Even my life!
[18:06] ---
Rinmei!
[18:08] ---
Go on.
[18:10] ---
But I have a duty to fulfill
as a Divine Warrior...!
[18:14] ---
You idiot! You have something
way more important than that!
[18:19] ---
Guys have to protect the
girls they're in love with!
[18:22] ---
Go on, Ryuko.
[18:25] ---
Thank you! I'll catch up to you later!
[18:33] ---
Damn, there's no end to 'em!
[19:02] ---
You suck out your dead friends'
energy to get stronger, huh...
[19:09] ---
No wonder you're such a pain!
[19:15] ---
You're too weak, Merak.
[19:18] ---
You honestly intend to oppose
Lord Keiro so halfheartedly?
[19:23] ---
This is the greatest feeling.
[19:26] ---
Now that I'm dead, I can feel Lord
Keiro inside me even more strongly!
[19:30] ---
That's... That's not right!
[19:34] ---
Playtime is over.
[19:36] ---
Now you will die here, alone!
[19:47] ---
Ryuko!
[19:48] ---
You're dealing with me!
[19:49] ---
Curse you! You still dare
to interfere, Ryuko?!
[19:53] ---
You, Shokaku, and all the others...
[19:55] ---
You Five Divine Warriors
are always getting in my way!
[19:59] ---
Being a Divine Warrior has
nothing to do with it.
[20:01] ---
I simply have something to protect now
[20:06] ---
that's more important than
the karma of the stars!
[20:10] ---
Ryuko...
[20:11] ---
Such nonsense!
[20:22] ---
Choka! What has driven you to such lengths?!
[20:25] ---
Keiro discards his own
people like they're nothing
[20:28] ---
simply to fulfill his own ambitions!
[20:30] ---
He brings misfortune to all!
[20:33] ---
Misfortune?
[20:36] ---
What misfortune is there in
living and dying for Lord Keiro?!
[20:45] ---
Lord Keiro is everything to me!
He is the very reason I am here now!
[20:51] ---
I will stake my entire existence
for him, give my entire self to him,
[20:56] ---
serve him, and devote myself to him!
[20:59] ---
That's just sad...
[21:01] ---
Silence!
[21:26] ---
I'm here to end this, mustached bastard!
[21:36] ---
I've been waiting for you, Alkaid.
[21:41] ---
But you're too late. You
cannot defeat me now.
[21:47] ---
What?!
[21:50] ---
I have...
[21:53] ---
I have... surpassed mankind!
[22:07] ---
When the birds that forgot
their song even lost the ability to fly
[22:17] ---
the sun through the trees
shed its light and cried loudly
[22:27] ---
What will the morning sun
be telling us by shining again?
[22:33] ---
Now, then...
[22:38] ---
I'll clap my hands,
so that it will reach you
[22:44] ---
I'll clap my hands,
it's still not quite enough
[22:49] ---
I'll clap my hands,
with feelings of love welling up
[22:55] ---
I'll clap my hands,
even if time comes to an end
[23:00] ---
My feelings for you that I never
got to say I will now speak out!
[23:05] ---
Every go every where,
arrive aboard this song, feel now!
[23:13] ---
I'll clap my hands
[23:18] ---
Every go every where,
arrive aboard this song, feel now!
[23:33] ---
The battle between Taito and Keiro begins!
[23:37] ---
Do you know how many people have shed tears
[23:38] ---
because of your selfish desires?!
[23:41] ---
Feel it, Alkaid! The taste of defeat!
The taste of despair!
[23:45] ---
Don't call me that name! My name is Taito!
[23:51] ---
Taito!
[23:53] ---
What does the future hold,
amid the utter silence?
[23:57] ---
On the final chapter of
Hero Tales: "The End of the Tale."
[24:12] ---
"See you next time!"
[24:13] ---
This, too, is the karma of the stars!
The end the heavens wish for!
