SIGN    Late April
[00:04] Kir
    You two are warriors chosen to save Earth.
[00:08] Lance
    Please lend us your power.
[00:10] Lance
    We have to defeat the evil mage
    plotting to destroy Earth.
[00:13] Hanako
    Sounds like the setting of an old anime.
[00:16] Tarou
    All right! Leave it to us!
[00:18] Lance
    As a reward for your Knight's Pact,
    we can grant you each one wish.
[00:23] Tarou
    Hmm... Money, maybe?
[00:27] Tarou
    No, cooking talent? No...
[00:30] Hanako
    Take out the mage!
[00:32] Tarou
    Is that an option?!
[00:33] Kir
    It's not.
[00:34] Lance
    If we could, we would!
SIGN    Episode 13: The Hero, Kusakabe Tarou
[00:37] Tarou
    What about making spring break last forever?
[00:40] Lance
    Impossible.
[00:40] Tarou
    There's a lot you can't do, huh?
[00:42] Lance
    By the way, that Hanako
    girl is odd, isn't she?
[00:47] Tarou
    What makes you think that?
[00:49] Lance
    The way her smile doesn't
    feel like a real smile.
[00:53] Tarou
    You're observant.
[00:55] Tarou
    Her emotions are subdued.
[00:58] Tarou
    She doesn't cry, doesn't get mad,
    doesn't get scared.
[01:01] Tarou
    So even her smile is subdued.
[01:04] Tarou
    She wasn't always like that.
[01:06] Lance
    I see. That explains Kir.
[01:09] Tarou
    Huh?
[01:10] Lance
    Kir's partners are always fearless.
[01:14] Lance
    He's cold, scary, and I hate him.
[01:19] Tarou
    What about your partners?
[01:22] Lance
    They're cowards.
[01:23] Tarou
    What?!
[01:25] Lance
    Shouting back like that
    proves you're narrow-minded!
[01:31] Tarou
    Einstein? Jobs?
[01:34] Lance
    I can't bring back the dead.
[01:35] Lance
    Though injuries and illness I can heal.
[01:37] Tarou
    You just keep telling me
    you can't do things.
[01:40] Lance
    Because you're making absurd requests.
[01:42] Tarou
    A wish, huh?
[01:47] Announcer
    That concludes our report
    on those enjoying the flower viewing.
[01:49] Hanako
    Thanks.
[01:51] Tarou
    Yeah.
[01:52] Announcer
    The sight of so many
    enjoying the flower viewing
[01:52] Lance
    Why are you eating here?
[01:54] Hanako
    My parents are on a trip.
[01:54] Announcer
    as they savor the falling of the late-blooming
    cherry blossoms was impressive.
[01:57] Tarou
    My parents both work, so they get home late.
[01:59] Lance
    What a romantic setup.
[01:59] Announcer
    The time for flower viewing
    will be coming to an end soon.
[02:01] Tarou
    Huh?! That's not how it is!
[02:03] Announcer
    Why not try going to see
    the flowers this weekend?
[02:03] Hanako
    We're more like siblings.
[02:07] Annoucer
    Now, our next story.
[02:09] Annoucer
    The criminal wanted
    for serial theft and murder
[02:12] Annoucer
    leapt from a building and killed himself.
[02:14] Hanako
    Oh, so it was true.
[02:15] Announcer
    The wanted serial murderer
    was discovered dead
[02:16] Kir
    Of course it was.
[02:17] Tarou
    What was?
[02:18] Hanako
    I did that.
[02:21] Announcer
    yesterday morning in Tokyo city.
[02:21] Tarou
    You did what?
[02:24] Announcer
    Investigation of the scene has led
    authorities to rule this an act of suicide.
[02:25] Hanako
    I saw the story on daytime TV,
    and thought he was an awful person,
[02:28] Hanako
    so I killed him with my wish.
[02:30] Announcer
    Police confirmed a note
    listing the murderer's motives,
[02:31] Tarou
    For real?
[02:32] Lance
    Hey, Kir Sonne!
[02:32] Announcer
    how he escaped police,
    and why he committed suicide.
[02:35] Lance
    Did you properly explain it to Hanako?
[02:38] Kir
    Explain what?
[02:39] Lance
    That if you wish for the death of another,
[02:41] Lance
    the karma it brings increases
    the chance of your own death!
[02:44] Kir
    I forgot.
[02:46] Kir
    However, that's no reason
    to refuse a Knight's wish.
[02:48] Lance
    You damn bastard!
[02:50] Kir
    Death is a constant
    companion in this battle.
[02:53] Lance
    Screw you!
[02:54] Hanako
    Come on, don't fight.
[02:57] Hanako
    It's all right, Lance.
[02:58] Hanako
    I'll be careful.
[03:01] Hanako
    Besides, if it does happen...
[03:04] Hanako
    Well, I'm reaping what I've sown.
[03:12] Lance
    I see, that's your plan...
[03:14] Tarou
    Can you do it?
[03:15] Lance
    Yeah, I can.
[03:17] Lance
    It's possible to heal her the moment
    she receives lethal damage.
[03:24] Lance
    However, there's one condition.
[03:26] Tarou
    Condition?
[03:27] Lance
    She has to remain conscious
    when she receives the damage.
[03:33] Lance
    I can't save her if it's instant death.
[03:36] Tarou
    You did mention that you
    can't bring back the dead.
[03:39] Lance
    It's a great idea, but there's
    a risk it won't activate.
[03:44] Lance
    So it's not a perfect trick.
[03:48] Tarou
    That's fine.
[03:50] Tarou
    I won't think of anything better.
[03:52] Tarou
    At the very least I can protect her
    with my body once!
[03:57] Tarou
    N-No matter how scary our enemy is,
[04:00] Tarou
    I c-can do it for her sake!
[04:04] Tarou
    I don't understand what she's thinking,
    even though we've always been together.
[04:10] Tarou
    We've been together forever,
[04:12] Tarou
    and that's why I love her!
[04:15] Tarou
    Manly, right, Lance Lumiere?
[04:19] Lance
    That's manly, Kusakabe Tarou!
[04:36] OP Lyrics
    When I looked up,
    that sky was full of wonders.
[04:41] OP Lyrics
    The despair I bottled up tormented me,
[04:46] OP Lyrics
    and I wanted the courage
    to break my chains of isolation.
[04:50] OP Lyrics
    (You are my light)
[04:52] OP Lyrics
    I was searching for your
    brilliant light in my hazy dreams
[04:57] OP Lyrics
    to kick away the limits placed on myself.
[05:01] OP Lyrics
    Now with your courage,
    let’s soar into the sky.
[05:06] OP Lyrics
    Let's CRUSH the fear!
[05:09] OP Lyrics
    I swear to you, at the ends
    of this chaotic world,
[05:14] OP Lyrics
    that even if you fall, I'll
[05:17] OP Lyrics
    Be the HERO!
[05:19] OP Lyrics
    I'll be waiting at the future
    we're moving toward,
[05:24] OP Lyrics
    with a “YES, MY LORD!”
    for your constant radiance,
[05:28] OP Lyrics
    clutching the stars raining down upon us.
[05:32] OP Lyrics
    I'll love you until we reach
    that future you want to destroy.
[06:00] Hanako
    It's strange, isn't it?
[06:02] Tarou
    Hmm? What is?
[06:05] Hanako
    We bathed together all the time
    when we were little,
[06:16] Hanako
    so why do I now slap you
    when you catch me changing?
[06:20] Tarou
    Why are you changing with
    your curtains wide open?!
[06:23] Hanako
    Oops.
[06:24] Tarou
    Don't "oops" me!
[06:25] Lance
    Good grief. This classic rom-com couple.
[06:29] Tarou
    Don't call us a rom-com!
[06:32] Kir
    I believe such surprise events
    are good no matter what era.
[06:35] Lance
    I won't say the classics are bad,
    but you have to make progress.
[06:38] Tarou
    You two are annoying.
[06:40] Hanako
    Tarou-kun, hurry up a bit.
[06:43] Hanako
    We're going to be late.
[06:51] Mikazuki
    The snacks you make are the best.
[06:55] Yuuhi
    They go well with the booze.
[06:56] Tarou
    Hearing praise like that
    makes it worth cooking.
[07:00] Tarou
    Hanako's so used to my cooking
    she doesn't say anything anymore.
[07:04] Tarou
    Would a word or two really hurt?
[07:07] Yuuhi
    Sounds like the problem
    of a long-married couple.
[07:10] Lance
    Hey, listen to this. Just this morning—
[07:15] Lance
    And there you have it, a surprise
    event first thing in the morning.
[07:19] Mikazuki
    Outrageous.
[07:21] Yuuhi
    Outrageous.
[07:22] Tarou
    Give me a break.
[07:24] Neu
    What do you mean outrageous?
[07:27] Neu
    You're not one to talk, Yuuhi.
[07:29] Tarou
    Huh? Really?
[07:30] Mikazuki
    Brutus.
[07:32] Yuuhi
    She did see me fully nude.
[07:35] Tarou
    You were the one caught naked?
[07:36] Mikazuki
    How nice.
[07:38] Lance
    Is it really nice?
[07:39] Samidare
    Oh, you're all together again.
[07:41] Mikazuki
    Oh, Princess.
[07:42] Samidare
    I came by to return a book.
[07:44] Yuuhi
    Huh? You borrowed one from me?
[07:47] Samidare
    I helped myself to one when I slept
    at your place the other day.
[07:52] Both
    You slept here?!
[07:54] Mikazuki
    Y-You slept over?!
[07:56] Tarou
    You two are already that close?!
[07:58] Yuuhi
    Huh? No, it's not—
[07:59] Samidare
    Oh, i-it's not like that.
[08:01] Samidare
    Yuu-kun slept at my place during that time.
[08:05] Tarou
    You shocked me.
[08:06] Mikazuki
    Still, why did you guys do that?
[08:09] Yuuhi
    Well, a lot was going on.
[08:11] Tarou
    That aside, it's getting hot in here.
[08:14] Yuuhi
    Shall I turn on the AC?
[08:16] Samidare
    Why don't we go up?
[08:20] Three
    Up?
[08:22] Samidare
    Ahh, nice breeze.
[08:24] Mikazuki
    This is great for sobering up.
[08:26] Tarou
    Wow, so high!
[08:28] Mikazuki
    Being up on a roof sure
    makes you feel young, huh?
[08:32] Yuuhi
    Don't say it, it's embarrassing.
[08:34] Samidare
    Y-Young...
[08:35] Mikazuki
    Whoa, we're all acting young!
[08:38] Tarou
    This kind of thing is nice!
[08:40] Yuuhi
    You say that because
    you're young, Kusakabe-kun.
[08:43] Mikazuki
    A man who carries his childhood
    girlfriend on his bike everyday
[08:46] Mikazuki
    sure is different from the rest of us.
[08:47] Tarou
    She's not my girlfriend yet!
[08:49] Samidare
    "Yet," meaning one day?
[08:51] Mikazuki
    Hurry up and confess to her.
[08:53] Tarou
    Please stop that.
[09:01] Tarou
    Hanako, let's go up to the roof sometime!
[09:05] Tarou
    Using our Holding Fields!
[09:06] Hanako
    No thanks. Sounds like a pain.
[09:08] Tarou
    What do you mean, sounds like a pain?
[09:11] Tarou
    We're young!
[09:12] Tarou
    It's fun!
[09:14] Hanako
    I'm enjoying being young well enough.
[09:28] Lance
    Oh, you were just pondering whether
    you should stay childhood friends
[09:30] Lance
    or confess and change
    your situation, right?!
[09:34] Lance
    You young bastard!
[09:35] Tarou
    Shut up!
[09:39] Yuuhi
    Think of it as taking
    a big step instead of flying.
[09:43] Tarou
    Ow. I-I'll try one more time.
[09:46] Tarou
    If I can do this,
[09:47] Tarou
    then I can stop Hanako when
    she does something reckless.
[09:51] Tarou
    Ow.
[09:59] Tarou
    I want to climb up on the roof again.
[10:05] Lance
    A golem?!
[10:07] Animus
    Now...
[10:09] Animus
    I wonder if everyone will be surprised.
[10:20] Yuuhi
    A Knight?!
[10:22] Yukimachi
    What are those little ones?
[10:31] Yuuhi
    Hm?
[10:34] Tarou
    Huh?
[10:35] Hanako
    Nagumo-san and Shimaki-san are gone?
[10:37] Yayoi
    Subaru-chan and Yuki-chan, too!
[10:39] Yuuhi
    They've...
[10:41] Yuuhi
    split us up!
[10:43] Yukimachi
    Hey!
[10:44] Nagumo
    Where are you taking us?!
[10:46] Tarou
    They took away all our main attackers!
[11:02] Nagumo
    What on earth are these?!
[11:04] Shimaki
    Maybe part of the ninth one? Or...
[11:08] Subaru
    They're small targets
    and there's lots of them.
[11:10] Nagumo
    We're at a disadvantage
    with those of us here!
[11:13] Nagumo
    We have to do something
    to break through them!
[11:25] Yuuhi
    That golem has perfect offense
    and defense, plus it's strong!
[11:28] Hanako
    I'll go around and draw its attention.
[11:30] Tarou
    Hey, wait, you idiot!
[11:31] Hanako
    Then what should we do?
[11:39] Tarou
    I'll do it.
[11:40] Tarou
    My Raging God will draw attention easier!
[11:45] Samidare
    Huh?!
[11:47] Yuuhi
    Princess!
[11:55] Tarou
    Holding Field! Raging—
[12:03] Tarou
    Hey, where the hell are you looking?!
[12:32] Tarou
    I love you.
[12:34] Hanako
    I know.
[12:46] Tarou
    Raging God.
[12:51] Yuuhi
    Kusakabe-kun! Sorano-san!
[13:05] Lance
    Kir.
[13:07] Lance
    I absolutely hate you.
[13:10] Lance
    I don't want to see your face again.
[13:12] Lance
    So.
[13:13] Kir
    Lance.
[13:14] Lance
    Don't you dare die.
[13:32] Hanako
    Kir?
[13:34] Hanako
    What's this?
[13:36] Hanako
    Why am I...?
[13:38] Kir
    There's no mistake.
[13:39] Kir
    It's thanks to Kusakabe Tarou and Lance.
[13:42] Kir
    He used the wish from his Knight's Pact
    to heal you from a lethal wound.
[13:48] Kir
    Why did he bother shielding you
    when he knew you'd be saved?
[13:55] Kir
    He died for nothing.
[14:00] Both
    Unstoppable Spear!
[14:03] Shimaki
    Mittwoch!
[14:04] Nagumo
    Drill Kick!
[14:18] Nagumo
    There're too many of them.
[14:28] Mikazuki
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[14:29] Mikazuki
    Your hero has arrived!
[14:31] Mikazuki
    You all were in a pinch just now, right?
[14:34] Mikazuki
    Right, right?! Ow!
[14:36] Nagumo
    Why would you jump in
    when we're surrounded?!
[14:38] Mikazuki
    Don't be so mad.
[14:40] Subaru
    Shinonome-san...
[14:43] Mikazuki
    You all have done well.
[14:46] Mikazuki
    Now leave the rest
[14:47] Mikazuki
    to me!
[14:51] Nagumo
    What are you planning?
[14:52] Mikazuki
    You guys gather up into
    one spot and take cover.
[15:01] Nagumo
    He turned his Holding Field into spears?!
[15:03] Shimaki
    That's the Halberd Amamiya-kun used!
[15:06] Mikazuki
    Aniki, this was your idea, wasn't it?
[15:10] Mikazuki
    And it passed through Yuu-kun
[15:12] Mikazuki
    to me!
[15:15] Mikazuki
    Aerial Domain - Halberd Army!
[15:21] Shimaki
    A wide-area attack?
[15:23] Nagumo
    He altered the shape of that
    many Holding Fields at once?
[15:27] Nagumo
    He's crazy.
[15:34] Yukimachi
    Ah, they ran away!
[15:40] Nagumo
    All right! Let's hurry back!
[15:43] Subaru
    Shinonome-san?!
[15:45] Mikazuki
    That technique is crazy exhausting.
[15:49] Shimaki
    Mittwoch, carry him for us.
[15:54] Nagumo
    Let's go!
[16:25] Nagumo
    Everyone, disperse.
[16:28] Nagumo
    I'll handle the rest from here.
[16:30] Subaru
    That's...
[16:37] Mikazuki
    What the hell...
[16:41] Mikazuki
    Goddammit!
[16:54] Yukimachi
    Here.
[16:56] Subaru
    Thank you.
[17:16] Loki
    Why do you keep drawing the same picture?
[17:20] Taiyou
    I thought I could get it out of my mind
    and get rid of it by doing this.
[17:25] Loki
    You need not be afraid.
[17:27] Loki
    You won't end up like that.
[17:39] Kuh
    Hyou-kun, you haven't shown
    any signs of grief for a while.
[17:43] Kuh
    Are you not sad?
[17:46] Shimaki
    I am sad. Very much so.
[17:49] Kuh
    Nagumo-san didn't cry either.
[17:52] Kuh
    There wasn't any show of emotion as he
    called the police and took care of things.
[17:57] Kuh
    You two are both strong.
[18:01] Shimaki
    Kuh, there's no such thing
    as a strong person.
[18:07] Hiwatari
    I get a call from you out of the blue,
[18:10] Hiwatari
    and it's to find out you're
    the first on the scene
[18:12] Hiwatari
    to discover a corpse in the mountains?
[18:14] Nagumo
    Sorry.
[18:16] Hiwatari
    The deceased had your
    number in his cell phone,
[18:19] Hiwatari
    but the higher-ups ordered that covered up.
[18:22] Nagumo
    Higher-ups?
[18:23] Nagumo
    What do you mean?
[18:26] Hiwatari
    I have a message for you from them.
[18:29] Hiwatari
    "I'll take care of the small details
    so you can fight more easily.
[18:34] Hiwatari
    A game has to be fair, after all."
[18:37] Nagumo
    A game...
[18:39] Nagumo
    So Animus did something?
[18:42] Hiwatari
    What's the meaning of all this?
[18:45] Nagumo
    I'm sorry.
[18:47] Hiwatari
    A person is dead now!
[18:49] Hiwatari
    What was your connection to
    Kusakabe Tarou in the first place?!
[18:55] Nagumo
    He was a comrade in arms.
[19:04] Mikazuki
    Ah, I'm beat.
[19:06] Mikazuki
    Ah, I'm hungry.
[19:08] Mikazuki
    Ah, I want a drink.
[19:11] Mikazuki
    Ah...
[19:14] Mikazuki
    I want a drink with that guy's snacks.
[19:43] Butcher Husband
    Hey, Hanako-chan.
[19:45] Butcher Wife
    Oh, welcome home.
[19:47] Butcher Wife
    You're going to school already?
[19:48] Hanako
    Huh? Oh...
[19:51] Butcher Wife
    It's all right.
[19:52] Butcher Wife
    You don't have to force yourself to smile.
[19:55] Butcher Wife
    Take your time to deal with it.
[20:02] Butcher Husband
    Damn it.
[20:04] Butcher Husband
    Why'd a good kid like Tarou have to die?
[20:08] Butcher Wife
    Don't cry now.
[20:10] Butcher Wife
    Hanako-chan's the one
    who wants to cry the most.
[20:22] Neu
    Tarou must have used the wish
    from his Knight's Pact
[20:25] Neu
    to instantly heal Hanako
    if she suffered a fatal wound.
[20:31] Neu
    Yet he still leapt in to protect her anyway.
[20:36] Neu
    Even though he knew Hanako
    wouldn't die from a single attack.
[20:41] Neu
    He couldn't not protect her.
[20:45] Neu
    Kusakabe Tarou...
[20:46] Neu
    He was a true hero.
[20:52] Yuuhi
    A hero...
[20:54] Yuuhi
    An image of someone strong...
[20:57] Yuuhi
    The strength to protect others...
[21:00] Yuuhi
    Neu,
[21:02] Yuuhi
    I really want... to be stronger right now.
[21:08] Anima
    You want power?
[21:14] Yuuhi
    Anima?
[21:16] Anima
    I can't grant you strength of heart.
[21:20] Anima
    However, I can grant you power.
[21:23] Anima
    Do you want it?
[21:25] Yuuhi
    You'll give me power?
[21:29] Anima
    That depends on you.
[21:30] Anima
    If you want it, then take my hand.
[21:45] Yuuhi
    Princess? Hakudou-san?
[21:48] Samidare
    Welcome, Yuu-kun.
[21:51] Yayoi
    Amamiya-kun?
[21:53] Anima
    Amamiya Yuuhi, Hakudou Yayoi.
[21:56] Anima
    You two decide.
[21:58] Anima
    Decide which of you will become Invincible.
[22:02] Yuuhi
    She's been crying...
[22:05] Yayoi
    Of course we'll be fighting to decide it.
[22:09] Yayoi
    We're both seeking power here.
[22:13] Yayoi
    I want power.
[22:15] Yayoi
    The power...
[22:17] Yayoi
    to protect people and this planet!
[22:22] Neu
    Fighting to decide it? But Yuuhi's...
[22:26] Yayoi
    I know you're strong, Amamiya-kun,
[22:29] Yayoi
    but you don't need to hold back.
[22:31] Yayoi
    I'm fairly confident I can beat
    any human opponent.
[22:38] Yuuhi
    All right. Let's do it.
[22:41] Yuuhi
    I want power, too.
