[00:01] Leon
    Once there was an adventurer
    party called the Silver Tigers.
[00:05] Leon
    Their leader, Bishot, was a man of
    rare intelligence for a Tigerian.
[00:08] Leon
    He was my older brother.
[00:11] Leon
    The Mechasteel Moonhell...
[00:14] Leon
    That Labyrinth was like a living
    creature that sought out our blood,
[00:17] Leon
    and our lives, and stole
    them without remorse.
[00:25] Leon
    But we wouldn't let that
    place get away with it.
[00:28] Leon
    We found "them", we defeated them,
    and stole everything they had.
[00:33] Leon
    And without his genius,
    that would've been impossible.
[00:38] Leon
    He attained every kind of
    wealth and fame imaginable,
[00:41] Leon
    and died just like you'd expect him to.
[00:44] Leon
    A small, miserable death, without
    a trace of intelligence or dignity.
[00:49] Leon
    And that's why I thought to myself...
[00:52] Leon
    You can't believe in humanity!
[01:08] Knight
    Start talking.
[01:10] Knight
    No one ever saw a trace of the treasures
    you stole, not even on the black market.
[01:15] Leon
    I have one special secret.
[01:19] Knight
    You have it with you, don't you?
[01:21] Leon
    One of the things we stole from
    the labyrinth that night...
[01:24] Leon
    How'd you figure it out?
[01:27] Knight
    You've decided to start talking?
[01:29] Leon
    If you hadn't figured it out,
[01:30] Leon
    you would've lived to have a nice
    drink at the tavern tomorrow.
[01:34] Leon
    A treasure that was too dangerous
    to sell, and too dangerous to use.
[01:40] Leon
    Come forth! Sword of Destruction!
[01:43] Leon
    Life's a gamble, people say.
[01:47] Leon
    And that's true for us Tigerians, too.
[01:50] Leon
    Tonight, my gamble was that...

[03:26] Tiana
    The wealthy patron.
[03:27] Donny
    Dealer! Hurry it up!
[03:28] Tiana
    And I'm calling him Mr. Gigolo.
[03:31] Dealer
    Of course.
[03:32] Tiana
    And then the dealer who's robbing him blind,
[03:35] Tiana
    along with the small-time shark who
    wants to make some pocket change.
[03:39] Tiana
    I don't like it.
[03:43] Tiana
    I'll have no problems crushing them all.
[03:55] Nick
    There's a reason we're here.
[03:57] Nick
    After the Mathematics Bare Knuckle,
[03:59] Nick
    we made some decent cash
    and split up to take a break.
SIGN    Infuriated Grape Ice Cream
SIGN    Infuriated Grape Ice Cream?
[04:04] Nick
    The ice cream at the casino's
    supposed to be really good.
[04:08] Tiana
    I'm willing to take you there,
    but once we arrive, we split up.
[04:12] Nick
    I'm basically here to watch over Kizuna.
SIGN    Sold Out
[04:14] Female Clerk
    Okay, we're all sold out!
[04:16] Kizuna
    What? What's going on?
[04:19] Kizuna
    Do you know how long
    I've been in this line?
[04:20] Female Clerk
    Please come back soon!
[04:23] Kizuna
    How dare you treat me like this?!
[04:25] Kizuna
    Just you wait! I'll be back!
[04:28] Female Clerk
    We'll be waiting!
[04:31] Kizuna
    Crap. We didn't get what we came for.
[04:35] Nick
    Since you're here,
    why not enjoy some gambling?
[04:38] Kizuna
    I can't gamble.
    I have ethics rules installed.
[04:43] Kizuna
    Wow, look! Anti-magic paint!
[04:46] Male Clerk
    You're correct.
[04:47] Male Clerk
    Everything used in our games
    has anti-magic on it.
[04:52] Kizuna
    That's an expensive way to stop cheaters.
[04:56] Male Clerk
    Thank you.
SIGN    WELCOME
[05:01] Leon
    Where are you, Nick?
[05:04] Leon
    I can smell you!
[05:24] Tiana
    They want me to join in and take
    some money from Mr. Gigolo, too?
[05:28] Tiana
    I see. They're making it pretty obvious.
[05:33] Tiana
    Sure, I'm in.
[05:35] Tiana
    In the end, I'll take you all
    for everything you've got.
[05:39] Tiana
    But right now, it's Mr. Gigolo I don't like.
[05:53] Donny
    Damn it!
[05:54] Donny
    You tricked me!
[05:56] Tiana
    Tricked?
[05:57] Tiana
    Who tricked who?
[06:01] Tiana
    Don't be silly.
    That's why we're all here, right?
[06:04] Tiana
    You've got no talent for gambling.
[06:07] Tiana
    Or rather, you're no gambler.
[06:10] Donny
    What?
[06:12] Tiana
    If you can't play with your own money,
[06:13] Tiana
    then go home and bet with your
    friends for penny candy.
[06:22] Bell
    U-Um, are you trying to get him to give up?
[06:28] Tiana
    No real gambler would pass up the
    opportunity to take three easy marks.
[06:36] Bell
    Thanks.
[06:39] Tiana
    I'm not one to tell other people
    how to live their lives...
[06:42] Tiana
    But why not ditch the guy?
[06:45] Bell
    Is it that easy to throw someone aside?
[06:49] Tiana
    It is.
[06:51] Tiana
    Both throwing someone away,
    and being thrown away.
[06:54] Bell
    Is that true?
[06:57] Tiana
    Knowing when to give up is
    what makes a good gambler.
[06:59] Tiana
    Once you get attached,
    you start making mistakes.
[07:02] Bell
    Will I ever be able to be a gambler?
[07:05] Tiana
    You already are, right?
[07:09] Tiana
    Some guys will keep betting on the dark
    horse, and then win big in the end.
[07:16] Bell
    Wh-What?
[07:18] Donny
    A-A monster!
[07:20] Bell
    Donny?
[07:21] Customers
    It'll eat me!
[07:22] Customers
    A monster!
[07:25] Tiana
    A monster?
[07:30] Leon
    Nick!
[07:33] Leon
    Come on out, Nick!
[07:35] Leon
    What am I doing?
[07:39] Leon
    Where am I?
[07:43] Leon
    I'm just looking for Nick...
[07:48] Leon
    I realized...
[07:50] Leon
    On that day, I realized...
[07:53] Leon
    Yeah. He never despaired.
[07:58] Leon
    I hated him. I was jealous of him.
    I was envious of him.
[08:02] Leon
    I wanted to be like him.
    I was miserable because of him.
[08:06] Leon
    I don't even know...
[08:08] Leon
    I can't even remember which of
    those feelings were real anymore.
[08:23] (Flashback) Leon
    Well?
[08:24] (Flashback) Leon
    This is what you wanted, right?
[08:28] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    It's been a long, long time, Leon.
[08:30] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    Are you finally ready to use me?
[08:33] (Flashback) Leon
    There's a man I want to kill.
[08:35] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    The pants-pisser here?
[08:38] (Flashback) Leon
    No, he's not here.
[08:41] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    You remember his smell, right?
[08:44] (Flashback) Leon
    Yeah, I'll never be able to
    forget that awful scent.
[08:48] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    Then I'll evolve your senses, so that you
    can find him with your own sense of smell.
[08:55] (Flashback) Leon
    The wonders of modern technology, huh?
[08:57] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    Don't be silly. This technology
    is hundreds of years old.
[09:02] (Flashback) Sword of Destruction
    You've all regressed greatly.
[09:05] (Flashback) Leon
    I'm joking.
[09:09] (Flashback) Leon
    Evolution!
[09:17] Leon
    Where are you, Nick?
[09:22] Leon
    His smell's coming from this way?
[09:27] Tiana
    What's a monster doing in the casino?
[09:29] Tiana
    This is bad.
[09:31] Tiana
    I handed over my weapons when I came in.
[09:34] Leon
    That smell... I know you.
[09:37] Leon
    You were with him, weren't you?
[09:39] Bell
    S-Someone you know?
[09:41] Tiana
    No!
[09:42] Leon
    Where's Nick?
[09:44] Tiana
    Nick? You mean that Nick?
[09:46] Leon
    That shithead Nick!
[09:49] Tiana
    The one who's big into idols?
[09:50] Leon
    The one who set us up in the
    Mathematics Bare Knuckle!
[09:55] Tiana
    The one who complains about
    little stuff far too much?
[09:57] Bell
    He definitely is someone you know, right?
[09:59] Leon
    The one who kept calling me a kitty!
[10:03] Tiana
    Which means you're...
[10:06] Bell
    Someone she knows!
[10:06] Leon
    I'm Leon!
[10:08] Tiana
    You're that Leon?
[10:08] Bell
    See? I knew you knew him.
[10:11] Tiana
    You've changed a lot since I last saw you.
[10:15] Tiana
    What do you want with Nick?
[10:16] Leon
    What else? I want to break him in half.
[10:20] Tiana
    And you think I'll hand him over?
[10:22] Leon
    That's up to you.
[10:24] Leon
    I'm curious to see which you value more:
    your own life or Nick's.
[10:30] Tiana
    What do you expect me to say?
    My life or Nick's...
[10:34] Leon
    Hey, choose your next words carefully.
[10:37] Leon
    My enhanced sense of smell
    can even sniff out lies.
[10:44] Leon
    The second I know you're lying, you're
    going to end up a stain on the carpet.
[10:54] Nick
    It's pretty loud out there.
[10:57] Kizuna
    What's going on?!
[11:00] Tiana
    My life or Nick's...
[11:03] Tiana
    It's a stupid question.
    One with only one answer.
[11:06] Tiana
    But if I say it, I'll end
    up as a carpet stain.
[11:13] Tiana
    I'm sure of it.
[11:22] Tiana
    Hey, you.
[11:25] Tiana
    Why did you think you could
    use me as a hostage?
[11:28] Leon
    What? Because if I threaten the
    life of one of his comrades...
[11:34] Leon
    What's so funny?
[11:35] Tiana
    Comrades, huh?
[11:37] Tiana
    So does that mean, even to a villain
    like you, we look like comrades?
[11:41] Leon
    What are you saying?
[11:43] Tiana
    We're not comrades.
[11:45] Tiana
    None of us trust each other.
[11:47] Tiana
    We're a group of adventurers who don't
    believe in humanity, or each other.
[11:52] Leon
    You can't believe in humanity!
[11:55] Tiana
    I see... comrades, huh?
[12:01] Leon
    Do you understand the situation you're in?
[12:03] Tiana
    Of course I do.
[12:06] Tiana
    I guess we do look like
    comrades, then? That's funny.
[12:11] Leon
    You...
[12:17] Tiana
    This is pretty pricey stuff.
[12:20] Tiana
    The pipe's made from a spirit tree.
[12:22] Tiana
    And the leaves are specially
    grown in the south.
[12:26] Tiana
    I guess this is my last smoke, though.
[12:29] Tiana
    Oh, right.
    This igniter's a little different.
[12:33] Tiana
    It's got a special thing where you
    can disable the limiter and...
[12:37] Tiana
    Lightning Flash!
[12:46] Tiana
    And you can do little attacks with it!
[12:55] Tiana
    Crap!
[12:57] Tiana
    Once something changes, it never
    goes back to how it was before.
[12:59] Tiana
    That's what my brother always said.
[13:02] Tiana
    That was a big burn...
    and it's already healed?
[13:06] Leon
    That just now told me how you really feel.
[13:12] Tiana
    You there!
[13:14] Tiana
    She's your money ticket, right? Protect her!
[13:17] Tiana
    Quickly!
[13:23] Donny
    I-I'm not with Bell for the money!
[13:28] Tiana
    Hurry!
[13:31] Tiana
    We're not comrades like you think.
[13:36] Tiana
    We're just people who've lost everything,
[13:39] Tiana
    leaning on each other to keep
    from collapsing entirely.
[13:43] Tiana
    We'd never help each other if it meant we
    had to risk something that mattered to us.
[13:46] Leon
    What?
[13:49] Leon
    I don't smell a lie.
[13:51] Leon
    She means it...
[13:53] Leon
    No, this is...
[13:55] Leon
    The smell of hope and resignation.
[13:59] Leon
    Pathetic.
[14:00] Tiana
    I guarantee to you that even if you take
    me hostage, Nick won't come for me!
[14:06] Leon
    Then...
[14:08] Leon
    die!
[14:12] Nick
    Oh, a big cat.
[14:17] Nick
    You know this guy?
[14:21] Tiana
    That's right.
[14:22] Nick
    I can't have you dying on me.
[14:25] Nick
    'Cause having you around is to my benefit.
[14:30] Leon
    So you finally came, huh?
[14:32] Nick
    Hey there, big cat.
[14:35] Leon
    You haven't changed.
[14:36] Tiana
    Nick, be careful!
    He's not who he used to be.
[14:39] Nick
    Used to be?
[14:41] Nick
    Do I know any big cats?
[14:44] Leon
    You do! I used to be a kitty!
[14:48] Nick
    So you've started admitting it.
[14:51] Leon
    You knew who I was!
[14:54] Sword of Destruction
    Wait, Leon.
[14:57] Sword of Destruction
    There's one more here.
[14:58] Leon
    What?
[14:59] Sword of Destruction
    There's one more here.
[15:01] Leon
    What did you say?
[15:04] Sword of Bonds
    You've finally noticed, huh?
[15:06] Sword of Destruction
    So it's you, Sword of Bonds!
[15:09] Sword of Bonds
    I should've known it would
    be you, Sword of Evolution.
[15:12] Leon
    Hey, who are you talking to?
[15:15] Nick
    He's talking to his sword, too?
[15:17] Sword of Bonds
    He should be.
[15:19] Sword of Bonds
    But the owner is only barely
    keeping the sword under control.
[15:22] Sword of Destruction
    It's been centuries since last we met.
[15:24] Sword of Destruction
    Begone instead of trying to get in my way.
[15:27] Sword of Bonds
    That's not possible.
[15:29] Sword of Destruction
    Then, I'll get rid of you by force.
[15:32] Sword of Destruction
    Leon, I'll bestow upon you my full grace!
[15:35] Sword of Destruction
    Irrational Moonlight!
[15:43] Tiana
    You're kidding!
[15:44] Nick
    He got bigger again!
[15:46] Sword of Bonds
    That's crazy! His wielder
    won't survive that!
[15:48] Sword of Bonds
    He's swallowing up not just
    their body, but their mind, too.
[15:52] Nick
    Hey, big cat!
[15:54] Nick
    If you get too big, you won't fit on
    the roof when you go to sunbathe!
[16:00] Nick
    We can't even talk to him, huh?
[16:01] Tiana
    Kizuna! Union!
[16:04] Nick
    Will it work?
[16:05] Sword of Bonds
    Try it!
[16:11] Nick
    Okay...
[16:12] Nick/Tiana
    Union!
[16:30] Donny
    Wh-What is that?
[16:33] Bell
    Who is that?
[16:35] Nick/Tiana
    Ice Age!
[16:38] Donny
    It's so cold! What is this?
[16:44] Nick/Tiana
    Ice Shield!
[16:50] Nick/Tiana
    It's not working, huh?
[16:54] Leon
    No... What am I doing?
[16:57] Leon
    Why am I doing this?
[17:00] Leon
    I won't make any money...
    I won't make anyone happy...
[17:04] Leon
    This isn't what I wanted to do!
[17:09] Leon
    Stop it!
[17:11] Leon
    I just wanted to rough him up a little bit!
[17:15] Leon
    I sent people flying.
[17:17] Leon
    Guards, innocent women, and children alike.
[17:19] Leon
    These expensive-looking decorations...
[17:21] Leon
    This place where everyone has fun...
    I've wrecked it all!
[17:24] Sword of Destruction
    That's right.
[17:26] Sword of Destruction
    Your power can destroy a place that was once
    filled with smiles with a single strike.
[17:31] Sword of Destruction
    It's fun, isn't it?
[17:32] Sword of Destruction
    To have overwhelming power.
[17:35] Sword of Destruction
    Look. Everyone is in awe of your power.
[17:38] Sword of Destruction
    They flee, knowing that death
    awaits them at any moment!
[17:45] Leon
    Stop it! Stop!
[17:47] Sword of Destruction
    It's too late.
    This is what you've always done.
[17:53] Nick/Tiana
    Ice Shield!
[18:00] Sword of Destruction
    When you took me from the Mechasteel
    Moonhell Labyrinth on that day,
[18:04] Sword of Destruction
    you were already like this.
[18:07] Sword of Destruction
    That's why you were able to hold me.
[18:10] Leon
    No!
[18:11] Leon
    I just wanted to be an
    adventurer, like my brother!
[18:15] Sword of Destruction
    But he's dead.
[18:18] Nick
    Ice Spear!
[18:21] Leon
    That's right! He was killed by assholes
    who I thought were comrades!
[18:26] Leon
    A bunch of cowards who he did everything for,
[18:31] Leon
    but who couldn't do anything without him!
[18:33] Sword of Destruction
    That's right.
[18:34] Sword of Destruction
    That's why you hate people.
[18:36] Leon
    I had the right to!
[18:38] Sword of Destruction
    Sure you had the right.
[18:40] Sword of Destruction
    And then, little by little,
    you loosened the rules,
[18:44] Sword of Destruction
    until you had the right
    to look down on everyone!
[18:47] Sword of Destruction
    Life's easy when you're better
    than everyone else, right?
[18:51] Sword of Destruction
    'Cause you don't need to think
    about anything more than that.
[18:54] Leon
    That's how I justified it.
[18:58] Leon
    When someone tricked me, it was their fault,
[19:00] Leon
    but when I tricked someone,
    it was also their fault.
[19:04] Sword of Destruction
    That's why you were chosen!
[19:06] Sword of Destruction
    And you grew up just like I hoped!
[19:09] Leon
    You're wrong!
[19:10] Sword of Destruction
    I'm not.
[19:12] Sword of Destruction
    My powers will never evolve in a
    way their bearer doesn't want.
[19:17] Leon
    I wasn't a bad guy from the start, either!
[19:26] Leon
    I'm not a bad guy!
[19:28] Sword of Destruction
    This is what you wanted, Leon!
[19:31] Leon
    Stop it!
[19:33] Leon
    Somebody stop me!
[19:35] Leon
    Somebody... save me!
[19:42] Leon
    Nick...
[19:47] Sword of Destruction
    Who's there?
[19:48] Sword of Destruction
    Don't get in my way!
[19:50] Sword of Destruction
    I have to evolve him into
    the strongest hero!
[19:55] Sword of Destruction
    Stop it!
[20:01] Nick/Tiana
    Ice Coffin!
[20:06] Nick/Tiana
    The anti-magic paint on these cards
    deflected the magic of the Sword of Destruction.
[20:11] Sword of Bonds
    With the light that brings evolution sealed,
    its wielder is cut off from those blessings.
[20:17] Sword of Bonds
    Simple, but very clever.
[20:29] Leon
    Thank you...
[20:37] Leon
    The same thing happens every time.
[20:41] Leon
    I'm a small-time villain.
[20:44] Leon
    My whole life's been this revolving cycle.
[20:47] Tiana
    We're just people who've lost everything,
[20:49] Tiana
    leaning on each other to keep
    from collapsing entirely.
[20:54] Leon
    Stupid girl...
[20:56] Leon
    That's what a comrade is, right?
[20:59] Guard
    You have a visitor.
[21:02] Leon
    You come to see the tiger
    in his cage at the zoo?
[21:05] Nick
    Yup.
[21:08] Nick
    He's lost a lot of weight in a short time.
[21:10] Nick
    His race is tough, but that wasn't
    the only reason he was strong.
[21:14] Nick
    He was only able to buy time in our
    fight because he trained every day.
[21:19] Nick
    It's a waste.
[21:23] Nick
    The building's a mess, but nobody died.
[21:29] Leon
    So I should've smashed the place up more?
[21:31] Nick
    Maybe.
[21:32] Nick
    You'll get out of shape
    fast in a place like this.
[21:37] Nick
    I sealed that sword away.
[21:40] Leon
    So that blonde girl was...
[21:42] Nick
    We've got a secret between
    just the two of us, huh?
[21:45] Leon
    I see...
[21:48] Leon
    That woman was...
[21:49] Nick
    Don't tell anyone.
[21:51] Leon
    Oh...
[21:53] Leon
    I thought it was weird that
    anybody but you could beat me.
[21:59] Leon
    Nick.
[22:03] Leon
    You can't get drunk on beer you paid for
    with money earned from lying, right?
[22:10] Nick
    I'm sure.
