[00:03] Kyubey
    I see!
[00:05] Kyubey
    Since Alina Gray's barrier is covering
    the whole of Kamihama City,
[00:08] Kyubey
    I can't go inside.
[00:11] Kyubey
    But I know most of what's going on.
[00:15] Kyubey
    You stopped Magical Girls
    from becoming Witches
[00:18] Kyubey
    by using the "Doppel" effect
    that occurs inside that barrier.
[00:23] Kyubey
    You were right about one thing:
    You're not obligated to become Witches.
[00:29] Kyubey
    But not only are you wasting
    your souls attempting to escape
[00:32] Kyubey
    from your destiny as Magical Girls,
[00:35] Kyubey
    you're willing to harm
    your own human society.
[00:40] Kyubey
    Sheesh! I don't understand you at all!
[02:19] Alina
    Good job, Touka! Nemu!
[02:21] Alina
    This is true art!
[02:25] Alina
    I was so bored, playing with those
    goodie-goodie girls with nothing souls!
[02:30] Alina
    But now you're ready to show me
    some emotional, high-class art,
[02:35] Alina
    aren't you?
[02:53] Touka
    Walpurgisnacht has...
[02:55] Nemu
    ...turned straight toward Mitakihara Town.
[03:00] Touka
    Think we can catch it?
[03:02] Nemu
    My calculations show it'll be close,
    but we can make it.
[03:05] Touka
    Then let's go!
[03:07] Touka
    For the Magical Girls' futures,
[03:09] Touka
    and Big Sister Iroha!
[03:12] Yachiyo
    You know this isn't what Iroha would want!
[03:15] Yachiyo
    Do you know what you're doing?
[03:21] Touka
    Yup.
[03:22] Touka
    We've calculated it all the
     way to the last decimal.
[03:24] Touka
    Right now, we're at less than 1% of
    the total estimated casualties.
[03:30] Yachiyo
    What?
[03:32] Nemu
    The fusion of two huge Witches is similar
    to the fusion of two black holes.
[03:37] Nemu
    When Embryo Eve absorbs Walpurgisnacht,
    it will create a massive shockwave.
[03:48] Touka
    Kamihama will be
    completely destroyed, but...
[03:50] Nemu
    No Magical Girl will ever
[03:54] Nemu
    have to become a Witch again!
[04:05] Kanagi
    Nanami, what's going on here?
[04:07] Kanagi
    Explain!
[04:09] Touka
    If we can change things now,
    we have a duty to do so.
[04:13] Nemu
    This is the fulfillment of our three wishes:
[04:17] Nemu
    Mine, Touka's, and Ui's.
[04:21] Touka
    I've put Big Sister Iroha
    somewhere safe. Don't worry.
[04:25] Nemu
    You should get somewhere safe, too.
[04:33] Kyubey
    In the distant future, the universe
    will eventually end from heat death.
[04:39] Kyubey
    But we found a way to extend its lifespan!
[04:59] Kyubey
    When the hope that young human
     girls possess in puberty
[05:02] Kyubey
    undergoes a phase shift into despair,
[05:04] Kyubey
    it creates a massive amount of energy.
[05:06] Kyubey
    Miraculous, emotional energy, strong
    enough to hold back the tides of entropy.
[05:13] Kyubey
    All of you are incredibly valuable.
    You're the key to extending the universe's lifespan!
[05:19] Kyubey
    And the conditions of the contract are,
    if anything, in your favor.
[05:26] Kyubey
    That's how a Magical Girl's contract works!
[05:30] Kyubey
    I don't agree with Magius's assertion
    that a Magical Girl's fate is a tragedy.
[05:38] Kyubey
    Becoming a Witch is not just the price you
    have to pay for the miracle you asked for.
[05:43] Kyubey
    It also contributes to the survival
    of the universe itself!
[05:49] Kyubey
    Think about the future of the universe,
    and the whole human race,
[05:53] Kyubey
    and ask yourself what future you should choose.
[05:57] Kyubey
    I think it's obvious. Don't you?
[06:00] Kyubey
    You, who've become a Magical Girl.
[06:08] Iroha
    My room?
[06:10] Iroha
    Nemu's magic sealed me
    within the small Kyubey...
[06:16] Iroha
    And then...
[06:21] Iroha
    That's...
[06:22] Ui
    Yup.
[06:25] Iroha
    Ui!
[06:27] Iroha
    Ui! Ui! Ui!
[06:31] Iroha
    I missed you.
[06:33] Ui
    Sister...
[06:35] Iroha
    I looked for you for so long...
[06:38] Ui
    I know, Sister.
[06:41] Iroha
    I'll never let you go again.
[06:44] Iroha
    I'll never let you be alone!
[06:48] Ui
    Thank you. But... I'm sorry.
[06:55] Iroha
    Ui?
[06:56] Ui
    I'm not me anymore.
[06:59] Ui
    The day I became a Magical Girl, I...
[07:04] Iroha
    You're Ui!
[07:05] Iroha
    I know you're the real Ui! I'm your sister!
[07:09] Ui
    I'm sorry, Sister.
[07:12] Ui
    We failed at everything.
[07:16] Ui
    We couldn't leave anything behind.
    We couldn't save anyone.
[07:21] Ui
    I'm sorry.
[07:22] Iroha
    I don't care about that!
[07:24] Iroha
    I just want you to be happy!
[07:28] Iroha
    That's why I became a Magical Girl!
[07:31] Iroha
    That's what kept me going!
[07:34] Ui
    That's not fair, Sister.
[07:38] Ui
    I want you to be happy, too.
[07:45] Ui
    I wanted to save you.
[07:48] Ui
    I wanted you to be happy.
[07:53] Ui
    So why did this happen?
[07:56] Iroha
    It's okay, Ui!
[07:58] Iroha
    I'll fix this, somehow!
[08:02] Ui
    Please, Sister. Stop us.
[08:08] Ui
    Stop Embryo Eve. Stop Nemu and Touka.
[08:13] Ui
    I care about you, too.
[08:16] Ui
    And I want to save you
    from the fate of Magical Girls.
[08:19] Ui
    But if we do this, you'll regret what
    happened for the rest of your life.
[08:26] Ui
    So...
[08:27] Iroha
    Ui, if I stop the plan, you'll turn
    back to normal, right?
[08:35] Iroha
    No, Ui! Tell me you'll turn back!
[08:43] Ui
    I'll find a way to get you out, okay?
[08:47] Iroha
    Come with me, Ui!
[08:48] Iroha
    Where are you, Ui?
[08:50] Ui
    You can still save someone.
[08:55] Ui
    You have to hold many people's hands
    from now on. Unlike me.
[08:59] Iroha
    Let me see you! Ui!
[09:02] Ui
    Save your friend.
[09:05] Ui
    She's the first of many people
    you'll have to save.
[09:12] Iroha
    Ui!
[09:14] Ui
    Thank you, Sister.
[09:16] Ui
    I'm sorry your little sister
    caused so much trouble for you.
[09:28] Iroha
    Ui...
[09:29] Iroha
    Ui!
[09:37] Kuroe
    Tamaki?
[09:39] Iroha
    Kuroe?
[09:40] Kuroe
    What are you doing here?
[09:45] Iroha
    Stop your Doppel! It's going to take over!
[09:47] Kuroe
    I don't care anymore.
[09:52] Iroha
    Stop! Kuroe, your Doppel...
[09:56] Kuroe
    I think I gave up a long time ago...
[10:02] Iroha
    Kuroe!
[10:11] Kuroe
    On that day, I threw
    myself away, just like she did.
[10:19] Kuroe
    I gave up.
SIGN    Sorry.
SIGN    Don't message me anymore.
SIGN    Why?
SIGN    We broke up, for one thing.
SIGN    Sorry.
SIGN    I don't want you to apologize...
SIGN    But I'm sorry.

[10:49] Kuroe
    A Magical Girl's fate was
    a heavier burden than I thought.
[10:54] Kuroe
    Witches are strong and
    defeating them is hard.
[10:58] Kuroe
    But you can't get grief seeds unless you do.
[11:03] Kuroe
    Even after becoming a Magical Girl,
    I couldn't become that strong.
[11:08] Kuroe
    I didn't know how long I'd survive.
[11:13] Kuroe
    But...
[11:14] Kuroe
    She was far weaker than I was.
[11:29] Kuroe
    Are you okay?
[11:57] Kuro
    Watch out!
[12:15] Kuro
    I thought I was done for! Thank you!
[12:19] Kuroe
    Sure...
[12:23] Kuro
    I've never seen you before. Are you new?
[12:26] Kuroe
    Yes.
[12:28] Kuroe
    I don't live around here, though.
[12:29] Kuroe
    Takarazaki Station 1
[12:30] Kuroe
    I see.
[12:31] Kuroe
    This is my area, actually.
[12:36] Kuroe
    And I guess you're not supposed to
    fight Witches in other Magical Girls’ areas.
[12:43] Kuro
    S-S-S-S-Sorry!
[12:45] Kuro
    I saw the kitty run
    into the Witch's Labyrinth!
[12:47] Kuro
    Please forgive me! I'll never do it again!
[12:51] Kuroe
    It's fine. Stuff happens sometimes.
[12:55] Kuro
    Really?
[12:56] Kuroe
    Yeah.
[12:58] Kuroe
    Bye.
[13:01] Kuro
    U-Um...
[13:03] Kuroe
    What?
[13:05] Kuro
    Um...
[13:07] Kuro
    Do you have any extra grief seeds?
[13:14] Kuro
    Th-That fight really made
    a mess of my Soul Gem.
[13:17] Kuro
    So I was thinking if you had any...
[13:29] Kuroe
    I'm sorry.
[13:31] Kuro
    R-Right! Nobody has any extra grief seeds!
[13:35] Kuro
    Never mind!
[13:36] Kuro
    I'm sorry for asking something so weird.
[13:40] Kuroe
    I don't have any myself.
[13:43] Kuroe
    I'm not that strong.
[13:48] Kuroe
    I'm sorry.
[13:49] Kuro
    Don't apologize!
    I shouldn't have even asked!
[13:54] Kuro
    I'm sorry!
[13:55] Kuroe
    But I'm sorry.
[13:58] Kuro
    No, really!
[13:59] Kuro
    I should've just had a whole bunch myself!
[14:02] Kuro
    Thanks for saving me today!
[14:06] Kuro
    I don't know what would've happened to me
    and the kitty without you.
[14:11] Kuroe
    Yeah.
[14:13] Kuro
    I'm still learning, but I'll do my best
    to be a real Magical Girl!
[14:18] Kuro
    I'll work hard and get enough
    grief seeds for everyone!
[14:26] Kuroe
    Yeah.
[14:27] Kuroe
    Let's both do our best.
[14:28] Kuro
    Yeah! Let's both do our best!
[14:35] Kuroe
    We never asked each other's names.
[14:37] Kuroe
    Never gave each other
    a way to keep in touch.
[14:42] Kuroe
    I never saw her again.
[14:47] Kuroe
    She kept waving at me.
[14:51] Kuroe
    She just kept waving and waving.
[14:56] Kuroe
    She was scared, too.
[14:59] Kuroe
    What would you have done, Tamaki?
[15:01] Kuroe
    What about Magius?
[15:03] Kuroe
    What happened to her?
[15:06] Kuroe
    Is she still alive?
[15:13] Kuroe
    On that day, I made no choice at all.
[15:19] Kuroe
    I abandoned her instead of making a choice.
[15:25] Kuroe
    I'm not like you, Tamaki.
[15:30] Iroha
    Wait, Kuroe!
[15:32] Iroha
    Please, stop!
[15:33] Kuroe
    The only choice I made was to abandon her!
[15:38] Iroha
    Don't give up! Let me save you!
[15:59] Kyubey
    The idea of what
    a Magical Girl should be
[16:03] Kyubey
    is a reflection of human
     ethical values in any given era.
[16:07] Kyubey
    Magical Girls with special powers
    have always been considered holy.
[16:12] Kyubey
    The masses want them to be an ideal.
[16:14] Kyubey
    Something for the rest of you to look up to.
[16:18] Kyubey
    And we've done everything we can
    to accommodate those desires.
[16:23] Kyubey
    In some eras, "justice"
    meant saving the weak.
[16:27] Kyubey
    And in others, "justice"
    meant eliminating the weak
[16:31] Kyubey
    to strengthen society
    and save it from extinction.
[16:35] Kyubey
    What you believe is "right"
    depends on when you live.
[16:43] Kyubey
    Your attempt to keep
     Magical Girls from their fate,
[16:46] Kyubey
    the temporary salvation you offer them,
[16:48] Kyubey
    is only a reflection of the
     current wave of thinking.
[16:53] Kyubey
    I think that instead of Magius's plan,
    which is based on a transient ideology,
[16:57] Kyubey
    our system, which offers
    perpetual growth and prosperity,
[17:02] Kyubey
    is better for you humans.
[17:08] Alina
    I'll be honest: Your vision and mission
    stir nothing in my heart, Kyubey.
[17:15] Alina
    But the facts in front of me say that
    human culture and civilization were created
[17:21] Alina
    by feeding them the souls
    of the Magical Girls you tricked.
[17:26] Alina
    Destroying Kyubey is a must.
[17:30] Alina
    But if there's someone who needs payback
    for years of unfairness and exploitation...
[17:36] Alina
    Do you understand who that is?
[17:43] Kuroe
    I couldn't be part of Magius, or like you.
[17:49] Iroha
    Shut up!
[17:49] Kuroe
    I couldn't be anything!
[17:52] Kuroe
    I'm nobody!
[17:54] Iroha
    I'm going to save you!
[18:00] Kuroe
    Tamaki?
[18:02] Iroha
    Kuroe! Connect!
[18:08] Iroha
    Kuroe!
[18:10] Kuroe
    Tamaki?
[18:11] Iroha
    Help me!
[18:13] Iroha
    If we both attack your Doppel together,
    we may be able to get you out!
[18:17] Kuroe
    I can't move.
[18:19] Iroha
    You can do it!
[18:21] Kuroe
    I can't.
[18:22] Iroha
    I'll save you!
[18:24] Iroha
    I'll save you all!
[18:27] Iroha
    That's what Ui wants!
[18:30] Kuroe
    There's no point in saving me.
[18:33] Kuroe
    I'm weak.
[18:35] Iroha
    Then let's become strong.
[18:39] Iroha
    Even if it's too hard alone,
    we can do it together!
[18:43] Kuroe
    Tamaki...
[18:45] Iroha
    Even if it's hard, if there's
    somebody there for you,
[18:47] Iroha
    no fear can ever crush you!
[18:52] Iroha
    I was weak too, but everybody
    was there to help me!
[18:57] Kuroe
    I...
[18:58] Iroha
    Kuroe...
[19:01] Iroha
    Let's do our best together!
[19:03] Kuro
    Let's both do our best.
[19:07] Imaginary Iroha
    Why didn't you save her, Kuroe?
[19:17] Iroha
    Come on!
[19:20] Kuroe
    Why?
[19:22] Kuroe
    You're so nice.
    You're doing so much for me...
[19:28] Kuroe
    So why do I feel so pathetic?
[19:33] Kuroe
    I should never have wanted to
    save anyone in the first place!
[19:37] Kuroe
    I should've stayed ignorant!
[19:39] Iroha
    You can be strong, too!
[19:42] Iroha
    We Magical Girls can change hopes
    and wishes into strength!
[19:48] Iroha
    So, don't give up your wish, Kuroe!
[19:55] ---
    How to become a Good Magical Girl
[19:55] Imaginary Iroha
    Kuroe, for whose sake
    did you make your wish?
[20:00] Kuroe
    What was my wish, again?
[20:05] Iroha
    Kuroe, become a Magical Girl with me!
[20:11] Kuroe
    Tell me, Tamaki...
[20:16] Kuroe
    How...
[20:20] Kuroe
    How long do I have to
    keep being a Magical Girl?
[20:30] Iroha
    That's Alina's barrier?
[20:33] Iroha
    Are we outside of the Doppel
    System's barrier, then?
[20:39] Kuroe
    The justice that I admired
    didn't like me at all.
[20:45] Kuroe
    But I thought that if I did this,
    I could keep from hating myself.
[20:52] Kuroe
    I could go back to before I met you.
[21:10] Witch Kuroe
    Now, nobody will save me.
[21:14] Witch Kuroe
    Now, I don't need to save anyone.
[21:18] Witch Kuroe
    Now, I can stop being a Magical Girl.
[21:57] Iroha
    I'm sorry, Ui.
[22:00] Iroha
    I'm a no-good big sister.
[22:02] Iroha
    I'm sorry.
[22:03] ---
    How long do I have to
    keep being a Magical Girl?
[22:46] ---
    The Soul Gems are made from "us".
[22:53] ---
    If we're not always on the side of goodness,
[22:59] ---
    they will shatter.
[23:05] ---
    Goodness is what kills us.
[23:11] ---
    So destroy it before it kills you.
[23:18] ---
    We will destroy all that is good.
[23:24] ---
    And then we will disappear.
