**[00:00] ---**
Okay, let's get this talent show staaarted.
**[00:06] ---**
I've got pieces of paper in here
with everybody's naaames.
**[00:09] ---**
I'll draw them one at a time,
**[00:10] ---**
and when your name is called,
you'll show us your taleeent!
**[00:15] ---**
The first name is...
**[00:19] ---**
...Mr. Rerugen!
**[00:21] ---**
What?
**[01:52] ---**
"Explosion! Talent Show"
**[01:52] ---**
M-Mr. Roswaal, why do I have to participate?
**[01:56] ---**
Because Mr. Roswaal said,
**[01:59] ---**
"Wouldn't it be fuuuun?"
**[02:02] ---**
That settles it, then.
**[02:06] ---**
We're all going to be
friends here, after allll.
**[02:06] ---**
"Rerugen"
**[02:10] ---**
You should go first and set an exaaaample.
**[02:16] ---**
I am Erich von Rerugen, TA of Class 2.
**[02:19] ---**
I humbly submit my performance
of our Empire's national anthem.
**[02:36] ---**
Are you seeing this, Kazuma?
**[02:37] ---**
Yes, I am Kazuma. And yes, I am seeing this.
**[02:39] ---**
--He's humiliating himself!
--He sure is.
**[02:41] ---**
Everyone, both human and inhuman,
is looking at him with eyes filled with derision.
**[02:45] ---**
Poor guy.
**[02:46] ---**
In this moment, he is the most humiliated
being of any race on the planet!
**[02:51] ---**
Wait, haven't I seen this before?
**[02:52] ---**
S-Stop it... Please stop.
**[02:56] ---**
I wish everyone looked at me this way!
**[02:58] ---**
--There she goes...
**[02:58] ---**
--Looked at me with eyes that say,
"How can you even bear to be alive?"
**[03:06] ---**
Kill me.
**[03:08] ---**
Now, who's next?
**[03:11] ---**
Oh! It's Subaru!
**[03:12] ---**
"Subaru"
**[03:13] ---**
Heck yeah!
**[03:15] ---**
Thanks to Mr. Rerugen, anything I do
is going to look great by comparison.
**[03:19] ---**
Sure, but I can't imagine you
having anything worth showing.
**[03:22] ---**
I thought you'd say that, sis.
**[03:25] ---**
But I do have one amazing talent.
**[03:28] ---**
That was amazing, Subaru!
**[03:30] ---**
I haven't done it yet.
**[03:33] ---**
Now, in my hands I've got
an ordinary length of string.
**[03:37] ---**
It hasn't been cut in any way
and there are no knots.
**[03:40] ---**
But if I do this... and
this, and then this...
**[03:46] ---**
Tokyo Tower!
**[03:51] ---**
No! I knew it was boring!
**[03:54] ---**
No, I was extremely impressed!
**[03:57] ---**
I have no idea what you did, but still...
**[03:59] ---**
Okay, next!
**[04:01] ---**
"Rem"
**[04:01] ---**
Oh, it's Reeem!
**[04:04] ---**
Okay!
**[04:17] ---**
Impressive.
**[04:19] ---**
Tremendous skill is required
to accurately strike a target
**[04:21] ---**
with an object of such mass.
**[04:23] ---**
Of course. Rem is very good at her job.
**[04:25] ---**
But not nearly as good you, sister.
**[04:28] ---**
The red-headed girl possesses even more
impressive combat capabilities, then?
**[04:33] ---**
That was freezing!
**[04:35] ---**
Everybody's really amazing, huh, Major?
**[04:36] ---**
--But don't you think that was
a waste of a watermelon?
**[04:37] ---**
--I see.
**[04:38] ---**
--So the point of this exercise is to
show our strength to the other groups.
**[04:38] ---**
--But don't you think that
was a waste of a watermelon?
**[04:40] ---**
--So the point of this exercise is to
show our strength to the other groups.
**[04:40] ---**
--If she was going to destroy
it, she could've given it to me!
**[04:42] ---**
--I've been able to make contact with the top
of the most dangerous-looking group,
**[04:42] ---**
--Okay, time to draw the next name!
**[04:46] ---**
but I can't let my guard down.
**[04:47] ---**
--From the look of things,
--Here I go!
**[04:50] ---**
we're not anywhere near
the strongest here.
**[04:52] ---**
It would be foolish to show them
the extent of our power
**[04:53] ---**
--and have them think we're easily defeated.
**[04:54] ---**
--Oh, it's Weiss next.
--and have them think we're easily defeated.
**[04:55] ---**
--Oh, it's Weiss next.
**[04:57] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[04:58] ---**
Well, Weiss won't do anything dumb, I'm sure.
**[05:02] ---**
I am Matheus Johann Weiss, of the
Imperial 203rd Aerial Mage Battalion!
**[05:06] ---**
I have no particular talents, so the least
I can do is remove my first button!
**[05:12] ---**
--Interference spell!
--I will now...
**[05:21] ---**
I'm sorry you all had to see that!
**[05:23] ---**
--I hope she does that to me, too!
**[05:24] ---**
--Maybe I was wrong when
I said we could get along...
**[05:25] ---**
--Why don't you shut up, Darkness?
**[05:27] ---**
"Darkness"
**[05:27] ---**
Next up is Darkneeeess.
**[05:31] ---**
I can't do this alone, so...
**[05:36] ---**
Can someone help me?
**[05:39] ---**
Me! I'll help, then!
**[05:41] ---**
Why is he volunteering?
**[05:44] ---**
No idea.
**[05:46] ---**
My talent is my strong body.
**[05:50] ---**
In order to show this,
**[05:52] ---**
I'm going to have this tough-looking
man punish me with his whip.
**[06:01] ---**
Now, man in military clothes!
**[06:03] ---**
Punish me mercilessly with
your whip like you always do!
**[06:07] ---**
I do not always whip you!
**[06:11] ---**
That man is a scumbag.
**[06:13] ---**
A disgrace to the warrior ethic.
**[06:15] ---**
He really is a scumbag.
**[06:17] ---**
No, no, no...
**[06:19] ---**
Hey, mister.
**[06:21] ---**
You need to treat women with respect!
**[06:24] ---**
I didn't do anything, though!
**[06:26] ---**
--Right?
--Hmph!
**[06:27] ---**
Don't avert your eyes!
**[06:30] ---**
Lt. Grantz...
**[06:32] ---**
You're a scumbag, aren't you?
**[06:35] ---**
Come on, do it!
**[06:38] ---**
Or is your friend going to join in?
**[06:40] ---**
Are the two of you going to
have your way with me?
**[06:43] ---**
How terrible!
**[06:45] ---**
But I shall endure!
**[06:48] ---**
How did I get caught up in this?
**[06:50] ---**
--Hurry up and do it!
--You really are a scumbag, Barusu.
**[06:52] ---**
A disgrace to the warrior ethic.
**[06:54] ---**
I don't mind Subaru when he's that way.
**[06:56] ---**
--Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
**[06:57] ---**
--I'm sorry. I'm sorry she's such a pervert.
--Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
**[06:59] ---**
I'm really sorry!
**[07:01] ---**
IseQuar!
**[07:03] ---**
It's Aqua's turn.
**[07:03] ---**
"Aqua"
**[07:05] ---**
Really?
**[07:07] ---**
What's wrong? Just do your
"Nature's Beauty!" like you always do.
**[07:12] ---**
Listen, we've been over this.
**[07:14] ---**
I don't do tricks on command.
**[07:16] ---**
Well, that's a proooblem..
**[07:20] ---**
Magic's okay, too, right?
**[07:23] ---**
Sure, as long as you've got something
that'll surprise the claaass!
**[07:28] ---**
Okay, I'll show you something special, then!
**[07:31] ---**
An ultimate spell only usable by a goddess!
**[07:33] ---**
Sacred Turn Undead!
**[07:35] ---**
Are you trying to vaporize your classmates?
**[07:38] ---**
But it's not fair that I have to be in the
same class with those defiled creatures!
**[07:41] ---**
I'm a goddess, you know!
**[07:44] ---**
So there you goooo.
**[07:47] ---**
Aqua's talent was a husband
and wife comedy routine.
**[07:50] ---**
--Wait!
--Hang on!
**[07:51] ---**
IseQuar!
**[07:54] ---**
We're almost out of time.
**[07:57] ---**
I wish there was time for everybody,
**[07:58] ---**
but I think we'll call it a day
after the next twoooo.
**[08:01] ---**
Anybody who wants a go, raise your haaaand.
**[08:07] ---**
Darkness has already humiliated us.
**[08:10] ---**
Aqua's already made us look like idiots.
**[08:12] ---**
Megumin, how about you
don't make it any worse?
**[08:15] ---**
Don't be silly. You know I'm not
going to miss an opportunity like this.
**[08:20] ---**
You don't have any hidden talents, though.
**[08:23] ---**
I do.
**[08:24] ---**
Do not.
**[08:25] ---**
Do, too!
**[08:26] ---**
Fine. What is it?
**[08:28] ---**
--I have my explosion magic, the strongest,
most powerful magic in the world!
**[08:32] ---**
--That's the same thing you always do!
**[08:33] ---**
IseQuar!
**[08:35] ---**
We don't want you firing
that off in the claaassroom.
**[08:39] ---**
So I've prepared a target for you heeeere.
**[08:45] ---**
I'd prefer a target that wasn't
a bronze statue, but thank you!
**[08:49] ---**
You sure about this, sir?
**[08:50] ---**
She may be off her rocker,
but her explosion magic really is amazing!
**[08:57] ---**
I'd love to see it, then.
**[08:59] ---**
You undead guys are in
for a real treat, then!
**[09:03] ---**
Behold the power of the greatest archwizard
of the crimson demons, Megumin!
**[09:07] ---**
Within this power dwells a shining light.
**[09:09] ---**
It guides the unseen to me,
**[09:12] ---**
and calls to me from within the chaos.
**[09:14] ---**
In this moment, explosion magic beckons me!
**[09:18] ---**
Strike my foe! Explosion!
**[09:31] ---**
That felt so good!
**[09:33] ---**
She wasn't lying. That was really impressive.
**[09:38] ---**
Perhaps this is a good
time to end the show...
**[09:41] ---**
No, not yet.
**[09:42] ---**
Oh?
**[09:44] ---**
That spell was incredible.
**[09:49] ---**
I feel fortunate to have witnessed it.
**[09:51] ---**
I would like to take this opportunity
to show a talent of my own.
**[09:54] ---**
And what would that be?
**[09:57] ---**
Let me see...
**[10:01] ---**
When I was a salaryman, I only ever
had to do a talent show thing once.
**[10:06] ---**
It was at a New Year's party
for a really terrible client.
**[10:09] ---**
A lot of people took turns,
**[10:11] ---**
but after we left the venue,
**[10:13] ---**
this was the one that got
everybody most excited.
**[10:19] ---**
How can he use so many magic circles?
**[10:24] ---**
His power is increeedible.
**[10:46] ---**
Is this...?
**[10:54] ---**
That's amazing, Lord Ains!
**[10:56] ---**
All this snow... Unbelievable.
**[10:58] ---**
Amazing! Truly amazing!
**[11:01] ---**
Of course! He is the supreme lord, after all!
**[11:04] ---**
Yes, this is only natural.
**[11:07] ---**
This... This coldness!
**[11:09] ---**
Um... help me up. Somebody help me up.
**[11:13] ---**
Well, that wasn't bad, I guess.
**[11:14] ---**
--Um... it's really cold.
--It wasn't that impressive, though.
**[11:16] ---**
--Um... it's really cold.
--Cocytus looks like General Winter.
**[11:18] ---**
Don't say that! You'll make me remember!
**[11:20] ---**
Not bad, Ains.
**[11:22] ---**
Grantz! Lt. Grantz!
**[11:24] ---**
What happened to him?
**[11:25] ---**
He passed out and is foaming at the mouth.
**[11:27] ---**
He's probably remembering his trauma
at the winter combat practice grounds.
**[11:31] ---**
I'm cold.
**[11:33] ---**
Subaru, I think this is the perfect time
to drink some of that stuff.
**[11:36] ---**
Not when we're students.
**[11:38] ---**
This feels good, huh, Lia?
**[11:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:41] ---**
**[11:43] ---**
