[00:03] Edelgard
    The Demon Lord has been resurrected!
[00:08] Eurelex
    Wonderful!
[00:09] Eurelex
    Krebskulm-sama has resurrected
    as a true Demon Lord!
[00:17] Eurelex
    A mortal? Why are they here?
[00:20] Edelgard
    She's the one who developed today's plan.
[00:25] Eurelex
    What?
[00:26] Edelgard
    Welcome back, Alicia.
[00:29] Alicia
    As planned,
[00:31] Alicia
    I made someone special to Krebskulm-sama,
[00:35] Alicia
    then arranged for their destruction.
[00:37] Edelgard
    Such a difficult task...
[00:40] Edelgard
    Amazing.
[00:42] Alicia
    Soon the mortal races will perish.
[00:45] Alicia
    We'll finally end this ugly world.
[00:56] Celes
    I won't let the barrier be broken!
[01:01] Galford
    A horde of Fallen to the west,
[01:04] Galford
    and the Demon Lord to the north...
[01:06] Sylvie
    Galford-san.
[01:08] Sylvie
    So this is where you were.
[01:10] Galford
    We're at war now.
[01:12] Galford
    There's no place for adventurers here.
[01:15] Sylvie
    Just listen to me, okay?
[01:17] Sylvie
    I want you to leave the magic
    circle in the north to us.
[01:21] Galford
    What?
[01:22] Sylvie
    Diablo-san's already heading there.
[01:25] Sylvie
    I want you to hold off from
    interfering and getting in his way.
[01:29] Galford
    That adventurer?
[01:36] Diablo
    Klem!
SIGN    Final Episode
    Battle for Legitimacy
[01:37] Diablo
    Do you recognize me?
[01:42] Diablo
    She's lost her sense of reason?
[01:44] Diablo
    If she's forgotten who I am,
    then I'll force her to remember!
[01:57] Diablo
    I'm going to save both you and Rem!
[02:04] Shera
    Rem!
[02:21] Diablo
    It's not too hard to dodge,
    but her power's incredible.
[02:25] Diablo
    What I should do is get farther away
    and activate my powerful spells,
[02:28] Diablo
    but the outer walls and the
    barrier tower are too close.
[02:32] Diablo
    If I want to protect the city,
[02:36] Diablo
    I have to restrain my area of effect!
[02:39] Diablo
    Eleven more...
[02:44] Diablo
    Volcanic Wall!
[02:51] Diablo
    That was close! Is that Darkness Breath?!
[03:02] Diablo
    Magic Reflection.
[03:04] Diablo
    I know I showed it to you
    in the fight with Eulerex.
[03:10] Diablo
    Her magic defense is way too high!
[03:15] Shera
    Rem!
[03:16] Shera
    You're finally free now!
[03:18] Shera
    You can't die here like this, Rem!
[03:22] Shera
    Please, answer me!
[03:24] Shera
    Gods, please don't take Rem away.
[03:36] Rem
    Shera?
[03:37] Shera
    Rem!
[03:38] Rem
    Ow, ow! Stupid Shera!
[03:40] Shera
    Sorry!
[03:41] Shera
    But I'm so glad.
[03:43] Shera
    How did this all happen?
[03:48] Rem
    Alicia betrayed us.
[03:53] Rem
    She wanted the Demon Lord to
    be resurrected from the start.
[03:58] Shera
    Th-That would mean...
[04:00] Rem
    She was a Demon Lord worshiper.
[04:03] Rem
    She forced Klem to endure something very sad.
[04:06] Rem
    Being overwhelmed by hatred was probably
    the key to the Demon Lord's awakening.
[04:12] Shera
    That's awful.
[04:15] Rem
    What are those?
[04:17] Shera
    Diablo gave them to me.
[04:18] Shera
    He said to use them on you
[04:20] Shera
    and gave me all he had on him.
[04:23] Rem
    Then Diablo's fighting the Demon
    Lord without any way to recover?
[04:27] Diablo
    Six left.
[04:34] Diablo
    Is this even possible?!
[04:36] Diablo
    If I wasn't Level 150,
[04:39] Diablo
    I'd be dead right now!
[04:43] Diablo
    Oh, I gave away all my potions, didn't I?
[04:56] Diablo
    Back when I played solo,
[04:58] ---
    I never used my items on other people, and
    I definitely never ran out of them doing it!
[05:07] Emile
    Look out!
[05:10] Shera
    Emile?!
[05:24] Diablo
    Anything goes here, doesn't it?!
[05:28] Diablo
    But that's thirteen spots now!
[05:30] Emile
    Friend!
[05:31] Diablo
    Emile?
[05:33] Emile
    I took Rem-chan and Shera-chan outside!
[05:36] Emile
    Get her!
[05:38] Diablo
    That's good work, for you.
[05:41] Diablo
    As a reward, I'll demonstrate my Grand Magic!
[05:45] Diablo
    I had a hard time fighting while
    keeping her within its effective range.
[05:49] Diablo
    Now, this blow should wake you up, Klem!
[05:54] Diablo
    Apocalypse Abyss!
[06:11] Diablo
    Get over here!
[06:37] Emile
    You're kidding me!
[06:39] Emile
    It's still alive after that blow?!
[06:43] Diablo
    You still want to fight?
[06:44] Shera
    Klem!
[06:47] Shera
    Klem!
[06:50] Rem
    Klem!
[06:54] Diablo
    Klem!
[06:56] Rem
    Klem, I'm okay.
[06:59] Rem
    Please come back to us!
[07:01] Shera
    Let's eat biscuits together again.
[07:13] Rem
    It must have hurt so much...
[07:16] Rem
    But it's okay now.
[07:18] Rem
    Let's go home, Klem.
[07:36] Celes
    It's over, then?
[07:42] Klem
    You're... alive?
[07:46] Rem
    Welcome back, Klem.
[07:49] Klem
    I need to apologize to you.
[07:52] Klem
    I broke my promise.
[07:55] Klem
    When I thought they had killed you,
    my whole mind went red.
[08:00] Rem
    It doesn't matter now.
[08:03] Rem
    No matter who disapproves,
    I'll be on your side.
[08:15] Emile
    That monster turned into a little girl?
[08:18] Diablo
    Look, Emile, this whole thing...
[08:21] Emile
    Worry not.
[08:23] Emile
    I'm an ally of all women.
[08:25] Emile
    I don't know what's going on, but I'd never
    do anything to make those girls cry.
[08:32] Diablo
    I forgot you were that kind of man.
[08:36] Emile
    Hey, are you all right?
[08:38] Diablo
    Yeah.
[08:39] Diablo
    I can't let them see a Demon Lord
    on the verge of collapsing!
[08:48] Edelgard
    The presence of the Demon
    Lord has grown smaller?
[08:52] Alicia
    Why?
[08:54] Eurelex
    What's the meaning of this?
[08:57] Eurelex
    Edelgard, this is the
    second time you've failed.
[09:00] Eurelex
    Not only did you ally yourself with a Human,
[09:02] ---
    but you've wasted the
    time of countless Fallen.
[09:06] Eurelex
    You will take responsibility for this!
[09:10] Edelgard
    When I give the signal,
[09:12] Edelgard
    run for the city.
[09:17] Sylvie
    Hey, Diablo-san, nice work out there!
[09:21] Diablo
    It's thanks to the information I got
    from the Adventurer's Guild.
[09:24] Diablo
    Be proud that you proved useful to me.
[09:27] Slyvie
    I'm glad you protected our city, too.
[09:29] Slyvie
    By the way, I'd like to ask this
    while the graveyard is sealed off...
[09:35] Slyvie
    That girl is Demon Lord Krebskulm, isn't she?
[09:40] Slyvie
    Sorry, but I can't just
    let her run around free.
[09:43] Slyvie
    I have to protect the
    safety of the mortal races
[09:46] ---
    as the master of the Adventurer's Guild.
[09:49] Diablo
    Are you saying you'll fight me?
[09:51] Sylvie
    I trust you, Diablo-san,
[09:54] Sylvie
    but I can't trust the Demon Lord Krebskulm.
[09:57] Rem
    Please! This girl is...
[09:59] Sylvie
    If Diablo-san wasn't here,
[10:01] ---
    this entire city would've
    been destroyed by Krebskulm.
[10:04] Sylvie
    Did you know that a huge army of Fallen
    was approaching us from the west?
[10:09] Klem
    I didn't summon them here!
[10:10] Sylvie
    We don't know that.
[10:16] Diablo
    What do I do?
[10:17] Diablo
    Sylvie's not wrong, but...
[10:28] Diablo
    Klem.
[10:29] Diablo
    Would you like to live in
    this city with Rem and Shera?
[10:33] Klem
    Yeah.
[10:34] Diablo
    Then let me tell you something.
[10:37] Diablo
    There's a way for you to eat
    biscuits here in this city
[10:39] ---
    without adventurers coming after your life.
[10:42] Sylvie
    I don't think there's a way to—
[10:45] Rem
    That's...
[10:47] Sylvie
    A magic stone of a pact?
[10:49] Diablo
    Klem, I can cast the
    Enslavement Spell on you
[10:53] ---
    and make you my servant!
[10:54] Sylvie
    What?!
[10:56] Klem
    Make me your servant?
[10:58] Shera
    Oh, right!
[10:59] Rem
    We have that option!
[11:01] Diablo
    Once I do that, you'll belong to me.
[11:04] Diablo
    You said you trust me, right?
[11:06] Sylvie
    Well, I do, but... What?!
[11:11] Klem
    Enslave me?
[11:14] Shera
    It's okay!
[11:15] Shera
    Both Rem and I are Diablo's slaves,
    but it's really nothing!
[11:19] Klem
    Still, wouldn't being a slave
    mean I'm not free anymore?
[11:25] Rem
    Diablo's not like that.
[11:28] Rem
    I guarantee it.
[11:33] Klem
    Very well. I permit it!
[11:34] Klem
    You may use your
    Enslavement Spell or whatever!
[11:38] Sylvie
    Wha?! Wha?! Wha?!
[11:43] Diablo
    I command you in the name
    of the Demon Lord Diablo.
[11:46] Diablo
    Heed my call, surrender to me, and obey me.
[12:01] Galford
    The Demon Lord hasn't resurrected,
    and the Fallen have withdrawn.
[12:05] Galford
    Is this thanks to that Demon?
[12:08] Sylvie
    Yeah.
[12:09] Galford
    Is there anything you
    need to discuss with me?
[12:14] Sylvie
    Hmm, is there?
[12:16] Sylvie
    I figure you already know.
[12:18] Sylvie
    You have such a splendid
    information network, after all.
[12:22] Sylvie
    We'll just have to watch over
    them quietly for a while.
[12:25] Sylvie
    Of course, we can't let
    our guard down, though.
[12:28] Sylvie
    Later, Galford-san.
[12:35] Galford
    To think we'd be saved by that Demon...
[12:39] Shera
    Huh?
[12:41] Shera
    Why are you scowling again, Diablo?
[12:45] Diablo
    Because I've peered into an abyss that
    the likes of you couldn't imagine.
[12:49] Shera
    That sounds awesome!
[12:51] Shera
    What's an abyss?
[12:53] Diablo
    The abyss!
[12:55] Rem
    An "abyss" can be a metaphor for
    something deep and endless.
[13:01] Rem
    Diablo's exhausted.
[13:03] Rem
    Just leave him be, and let him rest.
[13:06] Shera
    You may say that, but you're
    planning to sleep with him, too!
[13:09] Rem
    It's fine if I do.
[13:11] Shera
    What?!
[13:12] Shera
    Come on over here, Klem-chan.
[13:15] Klem
    Really? I can join you, too?
[13:17] Shera
    Why not?
[13:18] Klem
    I killed mortals, remember?
[13:20] Klem
    I even tried to kill you all!
[13:22] Klem
    Don't you think I'm dangerous?
[13:24] Shera
    Sylvie-san's the only one
    who thinks you're dangerous.
[13:27] Klem
    But...
[13:28] Diablo
    Don't make me laugh.
[13:30] Diablo
    You tried to kill me?
[13:32] Diablo
    Those weak attacks wouldn't work on me.
[13:34] Diablo
    After all, I'm the true Demon Lord.
[13:39] Klem
    I see!
[13:41] Diablo
    In truth, I'm more nervous
    about sleeping with them
[13:44] ---
    than I am about fighting a Demon Lord.
[13:46] Diablo
    I still can't get used to it.
[13:47] Klem
    Oh, the light!
[13:49] Shera
    I'll turn it off.
[13:50] Shera
    Rem, get that one.
[13:55] Klem
    Now, we sleep!
[14:05] Rem
    Alicia?!
[14:06] Alicia
    Rem-sama? You're still alive?!
[14:11] Klem
    How dare you appear before me again?
[14:14] Klem
    Unhand Shera so I can rip you to shreds.
[14:18] Alicia
    I'll release Shera-sama once
    my business here is done.
[14:22] Alicia
    Please rip me to shreds or
    whatever you want then.
[14:26] Klem
    Oh?
[14:27] Alicia
    I've heard the Demon Lord is able
    to heal the wounds of Fallen.
[14:31] Klem
    Of course I can.
[14:33] Alicia
    Then could you come with me, please?
[14:41] Rem
    Edelgard!
[14:43] Alicia
    The other Fallen punished her
[14:45] ---
    after our plan to resurrect Krebskulm-sama
[14:49] ---
    and exterminate the mortal races failed.
[14:52] Diablo
    I see...
[14:53] Diablo
    When we met up with Edelgard
    at Starfall Tower,
[14:57] ---
    she never asked who you were
    after you suddenly showed up.
[15:02] Diablo
    So you two were working
    together from the beginning?
[15:06] Alicia
    You are correct.
[15:09] Alicia
    Please!
[15:10] Alicia
    Please, save Edelgard-sama!
[15:13] Klem
    Do you think I'd listen to
    someone who put Rem in danger?
[15:19] Klem
    Diablo, what do you think?
[15:23] Diablo
    Help her.
[15:26] Klem
    Very well.
[15:32] Rem
    In an instant?!
[15:34] Edelgard
    Demon Lord?!
[15:35] Klem
    Yes.
[15:36] Edelgard
    Demon Lord!
[15:38] Edelgard
    I'm overcome with gratitude!
[15:40] Edelgard
    Demon Lord...
[15:41] Edelgard
    Why have you returned to your original form?
[15:45] Klem
    Because the people here with me risked
    their lives to restore me to normal.
[15:49] Edelgard
    They did?
[15:52] Klem
    Are you dissatisfied?
[15:53] Edelgard
    I don't know.
[15:54] Edelgard
    Fallen are meant to kill mortals.
[15:58] Edelgard
    We're supposed to be enemies, so why?
[16:00] Klem
    I don't know, either.
[16:02] Klem
    That's why I've decided
    to live in the human city.
[16:06] Klem
    There are biscuits here, too.
[16:08] Klem
    So stop doing such sad things already.
[16:11] Klem
    If you can't obey that order,
     then you're no longer my follower.
[16:18] Edelgard
    I swear, I will not do such things anymore.
[16:25] Alicia
    Thank you very much.
[16:28] Alicia
    You may do with me as you wish now.
[16:32] Rem
    How did an Imperial Knight like you
[16:34] ---
    become a Demon Lord worshiper?
[16:38] Alicia
    Have you never wished humanity would perish?
[16:43] Alicia
    Have you never shouted in your mind,
[16:44] Alicia
    "I'll kill you, you bastard"?
[16:46] Diablo
    All the time!
[16:48] Rem
    Maybe not to that extent, but of
    course I've gotten angry at others.
[16:52] Rem
    What happened to you?
[16:55] Alicia
    Perhaps I might have been
    able to compartmentalize it
[16:59] ---
    if there had been a specific incident.
[17:01] Alicia
    I think I was just exposed
    to too much of the dark side
[17:05] ---
    of self-centered, greedy,
    powerful, and entitled people
[17:08] ---
    who pretended they were good people.
[17:11] Alicia
    My parents, the other Imperial Knights,
[17:13] ---
    nobles, and even the emperor
    were all the same.
[17:16] Alicia
    They forced their own nonsensical
    righteousness on us all.
[17:19] Alicia
    It was so ugly that I couldn't accept it.
[17:23] Alicia
    I believed there was no
    place for me in this world,
[17:27] Alicia
    as I lived on alone with
     only hatred in my heart.
[17:32] Diablo
    She's the same as me.
[17:33] Diablo
    I played solo all my life,
    with nowhere to fit in,
[17:37] ---
    and never wanted to see the world outside.
[17:40] Diablo
    Even if we wanted to understand others,
    we never wanted them to understand us.
[17:45] Diablo
    I can really relate to how she feels.
[17:48] Alicia
    Demon Lord,
[17:49] Alicia
    Are you sure you won't
    eradicate the mortal races?
[17:53] Klem
    Enough of that.
[17:54] Klem
    I don't hate the mortal races as much as
    you do, and I haven't lost hope in them.
[17:59] Alicia
    I see.
[18:01] Alicia
    Then I have no other choice.
[18:06] Rem
    What are you planning to do?!
[18:08] Alicia
    I don't expect to be
    forgiven for my betrayal.
[18:13] Alicia
    So I'll end it now.
[18:14] Rem
    Wait!
[18:15] Alicia
    Don't stop me!
[18:16] Alicia
    I know I'm not normal!
[18:19] Alicia
    I don't expect anyone to understand me!
[18:21] Alicia
    Either way...
[18:23] Alicia
    Either way, I'm all alone!
[18:25] Both
    Stop!
[18:43] Diablo
    You really are stubborn.
[18:47] Diablo
    I told you before that you should relax.
[18:51] Alicia
    Why does that even matter here?!
[18:53] Alicia
    I entrapped Rem-sama to further my own goals!
[18:57] Alicia
    That's not a sin I can ever atone for!
[18:59] Diablo
    Don't be naïve enough to call
    death a means of atonement!
[19:03] Alicia
    B-But I tried to wipe out the mortal races
[19:08] ---
    while serving as an Imperial Knight!
[19:09] Diablo
    So what?!
[19:10] Diablo
    Who decided to put you in that position?
[19:12] Diablo
    The emperor? The nobles? Your parents?
[19:15] Diablo
    Why should you care about a position forced
    on you by people that mean nothing to you?!
[19:20] Diablo
    You should you just be yourself!
[19:23] Alicia
    Be myself?
[19:25] Diablo
    Quit getting hung up on nonsense,
    and try living the life you want.
[19:29] Diablo
    It doesn't matter what you think of yourself.
[19:32] Diablo
    Just take the actions you need to take
[19:35] ---
    when someone truly needs you.
[19:38] Diablo
    Do that, and that'll be where you belong.
[19:43] Diablo
    That's how it was for me.
[19:45] Diablo
    Dying with some stupid idea that you're
    all alone in this world is no atonement!
[19:52] Diablo
    Just try and take that easy way out.
[19:55] Diablo
    The moment you do,
    I, the Demon Lord Diablo,
[19:58] ---
    will show you what true fear is.
[20:02] Alicia
    Do you really believe I'll
    find somewhere to fit in?
[20:07] Alicia
    Even someone as ugly as me?
[20:10] Shera
    You're not ugly.
[20:12] Shera
    If your heart truly was ugly,
[20:16] ---
    would you have risked coming
    to us for your partner's sake?
[20:22] Rem
    I, too, was all alone before
    I met Diablo and Shera.
[20:26] Rem
    There was a moment when I hated you, too.
[20:29] Rem
    But now that I've heard how you truly feel,
[20:33] ---
    I can forgive you.
[20:35] Rem
    You can't let yourself
    lose to isolation, Alicia.
[20:39] Alicia
    Rem-sama...
[20:40] Alicia
    But how do I be myself?
[20:44] Diablo
    Hell if I know!
[20:44] All
    Huh?!
[20:46] Diablo
    You're the one who decides that!
[20:50] Diablo
    Your life starts today, right now.
[20:56] Shera
    He's always been cool,
[20:59] Shera
    but this is the coolest Diablo's ever been.
[21:02] Rem
    Yes.
[21:04] Shera
    Diablo!
[21:05] Alicia
    Are you all right?!
[21:06] Diablo
    My magic points...
[21:08] Klem
    Then I'll give you magic power
    like before and re-energize you!
[21:13] Shera
    Right!
[21:14] Shera
    Let's all help Diablo perk up together!
[21:16] Rem
    If that's the case, then...
[21:19] Rem
    I suppose I must, just for today.
[21:21] Rem
    If it'll help Diablo recover...
[21:24] Klem
    Edelgard, you strip, too!
[21:26] Alicia
    M-Me, too!
[21:28] Alicia
    I'll also lend a hand!
[21:32] All
    Diablo!
[21:36] Shera
    Diablo fainted!
[21:38] Rem
    Wake up, Diablo!
[22:04] Mei
    Come back again, okay?
[22:08] Alicia
    Well, then... I, Alicia Cristela,
    shall be heading off.
[22:15] Rem
    Be well.
[22:20] Alicia
    Yes.
[22:28] Alicia
    You should be okay now.
[22:30] Boy
    Thank you, miss!
[22:36] Shera
    I told you, we're having fruit tonight!
[22:39] Rem
    Meat!
[22:40] Shera
    Fruit!
[22:40] Rem
    Fruit doesn't give you strength!
[22:42] Diablo
    They haven't changed.
[22:42] Rem
    It's meat!
[22:48] Diablo
    What?
[22:49] Rem
    Which side are you on?
[22:51] Diablo
    Th-This is pointless.
[22:55] Shera
    Okay.
[22:55] Diablo
    Huh?
[22:56] Shera
    Then kiss the side you choose.
[22:58] Diablo
    Huh?!
[22:59] Shera
    I mean, I know it was for the ritual,
    but you kissed Klem-chan.
[23:03] Rem
    When you did that right in front of us,
[23:05] Rem
    I was honestly a bit jealous.
[23:08] Rem
    We've belonged to you longer
    than she has, after all.
[23:12] Rem
    I won't be satisfied until
    you've gone further with us.
[23:16] Shera
    So?
[23:17] Rem
    Which is it?
[23:23] Diablo
    Don't bother me with such nonsense!
[23:26] Shera
    Aw, why not?
[23:28] Diablo
    Because I am Diablo!
[23:29] Diablo
    The one feared as the Demon Lord!
