[00:07] (Flashback) Gramps
    Say, Yuusuke...
[00:10] (Flashback) Gramps
    Any interest in continuin' to
    train here after the war's over?
[00:15] (Flashback) Gramps
    With your talent, another five years...
[00:18] (Flashback) Gramps
    nah, just two years, and you could
    be the best blacksmith around.
[00:25] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    I can't do that.
[00:29] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    For me, smithing skills are
    just a means to an end.
[00:33] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    Frankly, all that matters
    to me is achieving my goal.
[00:38] (Flashback) Gramps
    I see. That's a shame.
[02:24] Shindou
    She really is here...
[02:25] Shindou
    The queen!
[02:31] Queen
    What do you want? I'm warming
    up to go for a swim.
[02:36] Queen
    You perverts.
[02:44] Queen
    Humans are such foolish creatures.
[02:49] Queen
    You have far more intelligence than us orcs,
[02:53] Queen
    yet you don't realize your own weakness,
[02:56] Queen
    you forget about debts you owe...
[03:01] Queen
    and you desire battle.
[03:06] Thanzammer
    This is for Ryce!
[03:09] Thanzammer
    Our battle is for revenge!
[03:11] Queen
    You are barbaric and cruel.
[03:18] Queen
    Fine!
[03:19] Queen
    I will destroy you all, just as you wish!
[03:29] Shindou
    Shit! She's...
[03:38] Queen
    Ouch!
[03:39] Queen
    That hurt!
[03:42] Shindou
    Well, then...
[03:43] Shindou
    How do you like this?!
[03:49] Shindou
    Uh-oh!
[03:54] Shindou
    Oh, right!
[03:55] Shindou
    That's where...
[03:57] Cantil
    Orc Queen!
[04:01] Cantil
    I challenge you.
[04:12] Katz
    Damn it! He was protecting me!
[04:16] Yotsuya
    Don't move.
[04:22] Katz
    If only...
[04:25] Katz
    If only I were stronger...
[04:44] Katz
    Lolle...
[04:48] Katz
    Two of them... showed up here.
[04:52] Katz
    The three of us... managed
    to take out one of them...
[04:58] Yotsuya
    And the other one?
[05:00] Katz
    It ran away, wounded,
[05:02] Katz
    and Thanza-san went after it.
[05:05] Yotsuya
    Do you know which way they went?
[05:06] Katz
    No... I'm sorry.
[05:09] Torii
    So what do we do now?
[05:13] Yotsuya
    We can't scatter. It's too risky.
[05:16] Yotsuya
    Let's all head to the
    blacksmith's shop together.
[05:21] Torii
    What?
[05:23] Torii
    We can't use the bullets that Gramps made?
[05:26] Hako
    In general, players can only use weapons
    that are part of their own gear.
[05:30] Hako
    Things Yotsuya-kun makes with his Blacksmith
    skills are different, but these...
[05:34] Toki
    Didn't we explain that to you?
[05:36] Torii
    Oh, yeah, sorry. I forgot.
[05:40] Yotsuya
    Master, will it be ready?
[05:42] Gramps
    No, the furnace ain't done heatin' up yet.
[05:46] Islander
    Hero.
[05:48] Islander
    We gotta get the wounded
    to the Väikedaam cave.
[05:55] Toki
    Go.
[05:57] Toki
    Leave things here to Majiha Blue,
    the cool lady who never misses!
[06:02] Yotsuya
    Oh, you changed jobs.
[06:05] Toki
    Wait, you just noticed now?!
[06:07] Hako
    We heroes can't use the
    bullets that Gramps makes.
[06:16] Hako
    But the people of the island can, right?
[06:22] Toki
    If we just have the islanders
    load the bullets,
[06:25] Toki
    we can still fire the Orc Eater.
[06:27] Toki
    It won't be a problem.
[06:30] Hako
    Can someone...
[06:34] Islander 2
    I'll stay.
[06:38] Hako
    Thank you!
[06:40] Islander 2
    Nah, you did cheer me on.
[06:43] Islander 2
    And that rice ball was tasty...
[06:51] Islander 3
    Yeah, they were delicious.
[06:53] Islander 4
    She's the goddess of rice balls.
[06:56] Islander 1
    Keep her safe!
[06:57] Islanders
    Yeah, you'd better!
[06:58] Islanders
    I know you can do it!
[06:59] Hako
    Everyone...
[07:00] Toki
    Fear the naturally-soothing types...
[07:03] Torii
    All right! That settles it!
[07:05] Torii
    You'll wait here,
[07:07] Torii
    and the rest of you will head for
    the Väikedaam cave with us!
[07:10] All
    Right!
[07:11] Torii
    Hey, that was pretty smooth, right?
[07:13] Yotsuya
    Huh?
[07:14] Torii
    Man, if only Iu were here,
    that totally would've won her over!
[07:20] Yotsuya
    He's an idiot. A huge idiot.
[07:31] Queen
    You challenge me, then you
    have the nerve to run away?
[07:35] Queen
    And you call yourself a warrior?
[07:39] Queen
    Fine. I'll play with you.
[07:43] Cantil
    Just as we planned.
[07:50] Yana
    You're awake?
[07:52] Katz
    What is this place?
[07:53] Yana
    The island's sacred ground,
    the Väikedaam cave.
[07:56] Yana
    There's no danger here. You can relax.
[08:07] Katz
    Where are Yotsuya-san and the others?!
[08:08] Yana
    Ya shouldn't be gettin' up yet.
[08:11] Yana
    They headed out already...
[08:16] Yana
    to Kumamo Castle.
[08:25] Yotsuya
    There are probably only a few
    orcs left in the castle.
[08:28] Yotsuya
    Can we take them with our numbers?
[08:30] Torii
    Let's do this, boys!
[08:33] Yotsuya
    Huh?
[08:36] Yotsuya
    Hey, wait a—
[08:39] Torii
    All of you! Follow me!
[08:42] Torii
    We're gonna beat those orcs!
[08:50] Thanzammer
    He's...
[09:15] Shindou
    Wind!
[09:19] Queen
    There!
[09:22] Shindou
    She fell for it!
[09:24] Queen
    Where are you? Stop sneaking around!
[09:26] Shindou
    Now!
[09:30] Cantil
    Why now?
[09:32] Hako
    An earthquake?
[09:37] Thanzammer
    No... It's...
[09:41] Yana
    The island god...
[09:43] Aoiu
    ...is angry.
[09:47] Torii
    Whoa, this is huge!
[09:49] Torii
    Really huge! Super huge!

SIGN    An island located between the continents of Meri and
    Illa, about seven days' travel from the international
    harbor of Radodorbo by boat. Because of its frequent
    earthquakes and periodic volcanic eruptions, it is also
    known as "Disaster Island." The Jiffon people came to
    the island 900 years ago while fleeing slavery, hoping
    to find a paradise free of fighting.
[10:10] Islander 2
    Sorry... Of all the times...
[10:13] Hako
    Don't be sorry.
[10:19] Gramps
    How could this be?
[10:40] Thanzammer
    Seems like the shaking's stopped.
[10:43] Thanzammer
    But what really scares me is...
[10:49] Yana
    Quickly, get outside! Hurry!

    Aoiu-san!

    Don't, Aoiu! The ceiling's gonna...

[11:55] Shindou
    It's erupting?
[11:57] Shindou
    And that earthquake was really big...

[12:32] Shindou
    The water is receding...
[12:37] Cantil
    What?
[12:41] Queen
    Did the sea floor collapse
    in all that shaking?
[12:45] Shindou
    No!
[12:46] Queen
    Well, no matter. Let us continue.
[12:49] Cantil
    Indeed.
[12:50] Shindou
    She's wrong! You have to run, Cantil-san!
[12:53] Shindou
    This isn't just low tide!
[12:55] Shindou
    It's...
[12:58] Shindou
    a tsunami warning sign!
[13:07] Old Man
    It's coming. One of those... is coming.
[13:11] Katz
    One of... what?
[13:13] Old Man
    The White Wall.
[13:14] Katz
    White Wall?
[13:20] Katz
    What is that?
[13:24] Song
    Hear our song of rituals and miso
[13:29] Katz
    Yana-san?
[13:32] Song
    Dumplings of music from the eastern isle
[13:35] Old Man
    Oh... Of course.
[13:37] Song
    The earth shakes, my feelings burst
[13:37] Old Man
    This song...
[13:42] Song
    Plow the fields, heave-ho
[13:42] Old Man
    The memory of the calamity that
    struck this island 800 years ago...
[13:50] Song
    The white wall strikes the withered shore
[13:55] Song
    The mountain god blasts a

[14:00] Song
    The sea god will devour

[14:06] Song
    Climb, climb, to the top of the mountain

[14:16] Song
    It will feast on all,

    Finally made it...
[15:01] Yana
    The blessings of the earth will
    become my flesh and blood
[15:06] Yana
    And I will devour you
[15:11] Yana
    On this island inhabited by the gods
[15:16] Yana
    We offer this song to you
[15:28] Aoiu
    I remembered that there was a secret
    passage under the Väikedaam cave.
[15:32] Aoiu
    Thanks to the mine carts in
    there, I got everyone out.
[15:36] Torii
    I'm glad you're okay.
[15:38] Aoiu
    What part of the castle is this?
[15:40] Yotsuya
    The east side of the castle,
    on the first floor.
[15:42] Aoiu
    Where are the orcs?
[15:43] Yotsuya
    Probably on the next floor up.
[15:45] Islander
    Aoiu! We've got trouble!
[15:51] Refugee 1
    The White Wall swept away all the
    houses and fields along the shore.
[15:57] Refugee 2
    It's the gods' punishment!
[15:59] Refugee 2
    The gods are outraged 'cause we thought
    we could defeat the orcs on our own!
[16:05] Refugee 3
    We're done for.
[16:07] Refugee 3
    Whether we beat the orcs
    or not, we'll never...
[16:10] Torii
    Whoa, hang on! How can you say
    that after we've come this far?
[16:20] Aoiu
    What are you doin'?
[16:21] Yotsuya
    I guess this isn't nearly
    enough force to budge it.
[16:25] Yotsuya
    Aoiu-san, the Väikedaam are also
    the island's historians, right?
[16:29] Aoiu
    Yeah, that's right.
[16:32] Aoiu
    We're also the storytellers who
    pass down the island's history.
[16:36] Yotsuya
    Then do you know where this
    castle's weakness is?
[16:39] Aoiu
    Weakness?
[16:41] Yotsuya
    Like a weak point in its construction.
[16:44] Yotsuya
    The kind that, if broken,
[16:47] Yotsuya
    could bring down the whole castle at once.
[16:49] Aoiu
    Wh-What are you sayin'?
[16:52] Yotsuya
    We'll bring down the whole castle
    to kill all the orcs inside.
[16:59] Yotsuya
    I tried to think of other ways to
    use this eruption for an attack,
[17:04] Yotsuya
    but our enemies are on the second floor.
[17:06] Yotsuya
    The volcanic bombs won't reach them,
[17:08] Yotsuya
    and to reroute lava to flow into the
    castle, we'd need to dig trenches.
[17:13] Yotsuya
    As it stands right now,
    that won't be possible.
[17:18] Torii
    One insane idea after another...
    Are you a demon lord now?
[17:22] Yotsuya
    So the optimal choice right now is to
    destroy the castle along with the—
[17:26] Aoiu
    We can't do that!
[17:28] Aoiu
    This castle is the symbol of the island!
[17:30] Yotsuya
    But you don't use it anymore, right?
[17:32] Yotsuya
    So...
[17:33] Aoiu
    It can't be destroyed, anyway!
[17:35] Aoiu
    It was built 400 years ago!
[17:37] Aoiu
    We've had tons of earthquakes
    and eruptions in that time,
[17:40] Aoiu
    and yet it still stands!
[17:42] Aoiu
    Our ancestors poured all their wisdom and
    ingenuity into buildin' this castle!
[17:46] Aoiu
    It doesn't have any weaknesses!
[17:49] Yotsuya
    I see. Okay.
[17:50] Aoiu
    Huh?
[17:52] Yotsuya
    Then I'll try to find a spot where
    we can fight with an advantage.
[17:58] Torii
    He's like a machine, isn't he?
[18:02] Torii
    A machine that only does what's
    necessary to achieve its goal.
[18:05] Torii
    Seriously, what pleasure does
    he even get out of life?
[18:08] Torii
    He's gotta be a virgin.
[18:15] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    For me, smithing skills are
    just a means to an end.
[18:19] (Flashback) Yotsuya
    Frankly, all that matters
    to me is achieving my goal.
[18:24] Aoiu
    How...
[18:28] Aoiu
    How can you keep goin' on just
    for the sake of your goal?
[18:33] Aoiu
    Even when it means sacrificin' yourself?!
[18:36] Yotsuya
    You just need to know your own limits.
[18:39] Yotsuya
    If you have a clear goal, what's the
    problem with just taking action?
[18:44] Yotsuya
    There's no meaning in the process,
[18:46] Yotsuya
    if you're only working for
    the sake of your goal.
[18:50] Yostuya
    If you realize that you're all but
    powerless to achieve your goal,
[18:56] Yotsuya
    you'll know right away that you
    can't afford to stand still.
[18:59] Torii
    See? Nothing he says makes
    any damn sense, right?
[19:04] Aoiu
    It really doesn't make sense.
[19:07] Aoiu
    But there's one thing...
[19:09] Aoiu
    Just one thing I understand clearly now.
[19:13] Aoiu
    We don't have time to stand
    still and do nothing.
[19:27] Yana
    It's been said since old times on this island
    that you should never build on low ground.
[19:34] Yana
    But we started buildin' houses along the
    shore 'cause there wasn't much land.
[19:40] Yana
    We thought more people,
    more fields, and more wealth
[19:44] Yana
    meant the island was prosperous.
[19:47] Yana
    We let our immediate greed get
    the better of us and forgot.
[19:52] Yana
    So pathetic...
[19:54] Yana
    No paradise is achieved without hard work.
[19:57] Yana
    The island's history, its wisdom, its pride...
[20:01] Yana
    As the island's storytellers, we Väikedaam
    should've communicated that better...
[20:08] Aoiu
    It's true. We were wrong.
[20:11] Aoiu
    We neglected the legends that have
    been handed down for generations,
[20:14] Aoiu
    and we lost our homes and our fields.
[20:18] Aoiu
    But...
[20:20] Aoiu
    If our homes are destroyed,
[20:21] Aoiu
    we just need to build sturdier ones.
[20:24] Aoiu
    If our fields are washed away,
[20:26] Aoiu
    we just need to make the
    next ones higher up.
[20:29] Aoiu
    We people of Jiffon have always worked
[20:32] Aoiu
    to refine our knowledge and
    skills for that very purpose!
[20:34] Yana
    Even if there ain't much land or resources,
[20:37] Yana
    our ancestors made up for it with
    diligence and technical prowess!
[20:43] Yana
    Rather than fightin' wars to
    take other people's stuff,
[20:47] Yana
    they turned this island into a peaceful
    paradise through their own hard work!
[20:51] Aoiu
    And as they learned to live
    better, little by little...
[20:56] Aoiu
    As they took steps forward and backward...
[20:59] Aoiu
    Little by little, the people
    of Jiffon made progress!
[21:03] Aoiu
    The people of this island!
[21:11] Aoiu
    Next time, we won't forget!
[21:14] Yana
    We absolutely must not forget!
[21:18] Yana
    We people of Jiffon...
[21:20] Aoiu
    ...ain't gonna lose to no disasters!
