[00:01] Announcer
    Thank you for waiting, everyone!
[00:05] Announcer
    The strongest warrior in the Empire!
    The hero of the colosseum!
[00:10] Announcer
    Here comes the Warrior King!
[00:20] (Flashback) Ains
    Forget everything you saw just now.
[00:22] (Flashback) Lumiere
    Understood.
[00:26] Momonga
    I'm sure that Nazarick is an
    overwhelming force in this world, but...
[00:32] Momonga
    We still haven't found the enemy that's
    in possession of that world item.
[00:38] Momonga
    That's why I won't go against their
    wishes for world domination, but...
[00:47] (Flashback) Ains
    But I should also bestow some
    mercy upon those I rule over.
[00:52] (Flashback) Ains
    After all, they are the people
    of my Sorcerer Kingdom.
[00:55] (Flashback) Fith
    I agree wholeheartedly!
[00:59] (Flashback) Ains
    Then, let us create a utopia.
[01:02] (Flashback) Ains
    A world as sweet as honey.
[01:08] (Flashback) Ains
    The carrot and the stick, huh?
[01:10] Momonga
    That's right!
[01:11] Momonga
    I just need to proactively advertise.
[01:14] Momonga
    It'll be good publicity for the
    adventurers I plan to recruit, too.
[01:19] (Flashback) Ains
    What a wonderful idea!
[02:58] (Flashback) Ainzach
    U-Um, Your Majesty...
[03:01] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I believe we are currently in
    the Imperial Capital Arwintar?
[03:06] (Flashback) Ains
    That is correct.
[03:07] (Flashback) Ainzach
    B-But I do not remember passing
    the border checkpoint...
[03:11] (Flashback) Ains
    That's of little importance.
[03:13] (Flashback) Ainzach
    A king secretly entering another
    country is an international issue!
[03:17] (Flashback) Ains
    I am friends with Master El Nix.
[03:20] (Flashback) Ains
    I'm sure he'll forgive me.
[03:23] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Well, if that is the case...
[03:25] Momonga
    If I get a ceremonial welcome,
[03:29] Momonga
    he'll find out I have no idea
    about political manners.
[03:32] Momonga
    So, I don't intend to meet Jircniv.
[03:35] Momonga
    I used Gate to sneak into their country
    so I could do things quietly...
[03:40] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Your Majesty, Sorcerer King.
[03:42] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Do you feel it may be time
     for me to learn of you plan?
[03:47] (Flashback) Ains
    I plan to invite the adventurers
    from the Empire to my kingdom!
[03:51] (Flashback) Ainzach
    You plan to scout them?
[03:53] (Flashback) Ains
    That is correct.
[03:56] (Flashback) Ainzach
    But, Your Majesty,
[03:57] (Flashback) Ainzach
    do you think the adventurers
    can give up all they have gained here?
[04:02] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I do not think things will
    go as you wish so easily.
[04:06] Momonga
    It's really refreshing to get
    such a negative response.
[04:10] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I apologize for my offensive opinion.
[04:13] (Flashback) Ains
    No, I am an entity that is
     different from you.
[04:16] (Flashback) Ains
    Because of that, I may not react
    like a human normally would.
[04:21] (Flashback) Ains
    I'd like you to voice your opinion when
    that happens, just as you did now.
[04:23] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Yes.
[04:25] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Then, allow me to speak.
[04:27] (Flashback) Ainzach
    You told me you would have
    adventurers explore the unknown
[04:31] (Flashback) Ainzach
    and give us your full support the other day.
[04:35] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Is that support for newly
    budding adventurers, as well?
[04:40] (Flashback) Ains
    That is my intention.
[04:42] (Flashback) Ains
    Actually, I think it would be a good idea to
    create an institution to help nurture adventurers.
[04:46] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I didn't realize you had thought that far...
[04:48] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Then, would it not be a good idea to
    gather and raise them from scratch?
[04:53] (Flashback) Ainzach
    The strong are always admired.
[04:56] (Flashback) Ainzach
    This is the Imperial Capital.
[04:57] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Why not advertise by fighting in the
     colosseum and showing your strength?
[05:02] (Flashback) Ains
    I see...
[05:04] (Flashback) Ains
    That's an interesting idea.
[05:05] (Flashback) Ainzach
    The Empire has an infamous swordsman
    called the Warrior King.
[05:10] (Flashback) Ains
    The king of warriors? That's quite a name.
[05:13] (Flashback) Ainzach
    The eighth and current title holder is considered
     the strongest Warrior King in history.
[05:20] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I happen to be acquaintances
    with his promoter.
[05:23] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I can set up a meeting
    with him if you'd like.
[05:30] Momonga
    What a huge mansion.
[05:32] Momonga
    Ainzach said that this person was the
    most powerful amongst the promoters
[05:36] Momonga
    that set up performances in the colosseum.
[05:41] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Your Majesty,
[05:42] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I have followed your wishes and set up
    an appointment with him tomorrow at ten.
[05:50] (Flashback) Ainzach
    But are you sure?
[05:52] (Flashback) Ainzach
    If I told him your name, I'm sure we would
    have been able to meet with him immediately...
[05:56] (Flashback) Ains
    There is no need.
[05:58] (Flashback) Ains
    We should feel lucky that he happened
    to be free to meet with us so quickly.
[06:03] (Flashback) Ains
    What is it?
[06:04] (Flashback) Ainzach
    I was just impressed by
    Your Majesty's generous heart.
[06:10] (Flashback) Ains
    I will have you accompany me again tomorrow,
[06:13] (Flashback) Ains
    but I will send you back to E-Rantel
    with teleportation magic for today.
[06:17] (Flashback) Ains
    Relax for now.
[06:20] (Flashback) Ains
    Greater Teleportation.
[06:25] (Flashback) Ains
    Now there's something I want to
    look into, so I'll contact Fluder.
[06:31] (Flashback) Fluder
    Thank you for coming all
    this way, great teacher.
[06:34] (Flashback) Ains
    Fluder, have my orders been carried out?
[06:38] (Flashback) Fluder
    Yes!
[06:39] (Flashback) Fluder
    I have obtained the Empire's information
    on each of the various countries.
[06:43] (Flashback) Fluder
    However, unsurprisingly, that clever emperor
    seems to have realized my betrayal.
[06:49] (Flashback) Ains
    I see.
[06:50] (Flashback) Ains
    I will consider adjusting
    your future course of action.
[06:55] (Flashback) Ains
    Sit down, for now.
[06:56] (Flashback) Fluder
    Yes!
[07:01] (Flashback) Fluder
    I-Is that...
[07:02] (Flashback) Ains
    Your reward.
[07:04] (Flashback) Ains
    I shall impart a fraction
    of my knowledge unto you.
[07:14] (Flashback) Fluder
    My apologies. It seems
    I cannot read this text.
[07:19] (Flashback) Ains
    I see. Try using this.
[07:21] (Flashback) Fluder
    Yes!
[07:26] Momonga
    Since I don't really know about
    the magic in this world,
[07:29] Momonga
    I chose the most magical
    sounding book I had...
[07:32] (Flashback) Fluder
    Th-This!
[07:35] (Flashback) Fluder
    So, human souls are like droplets that have
    separated from the river of the greater world.
[07:42] (Flashback) Fluder
    While the size of the soul may be different
    in size, they are all from the same source.
[07:45] (Flashback) Fluder
    If that's the case...!
[07:47] (Flashback) Fluder
    Teacher! This is truly the knowledge
    I've always been searching for!
[07:51] (Flashback) Ains
    I-Is that so?
[07:53] (Flashback) Ains
    Well, I'll have you return that
    eyeglass to me. I only have one.
[07:56] (Flashback) Fluder
    What? But I need this...
[07:59] (Flashback) Ains
    You'll only be able to ascend
    to the next realm of knowledge
[08:03] (Flashback) Ains
    when you can translate, decipher,
    and understand the text.
[08:08] (Flashback) Fluder
    I understand. I will follow your teachings.
[08:13] (Flashback) Ains
    Yes.
[08:15] (Flashback) Ains
    Lastly, I want some information
    on the Warrior King.
[08:26] (Flashback) Ainzach
    From the Rabbit Man race.
[08:28] (Flashback) Ainzach
    She must have come from the East. How rare.
[08:34] (Flashback) Butler
    Please enter.
[08:47] (Flashback) Osk
    What do you think?
[08:50] (Flashback) Ains
    Yes, this is a very impressive collection.
[08:55] (Flashback) Osk
    Is there one that interests you?
[08:57] (Flashback) Osk
    Oh, that one.
[09:00] (Flashback) Ains
    May I hold it?
[09:01] (Flashback) Osk
    Of course.
[09:05] (Flashback) Ains
    These are...
[09:06] (Flashback) Ains
    Runes?
[09:08] (Flashback) Osk
    Oh! As expected of the Sorcerer King.
    You know of runes!
[09:12] Momonga
    Where are there runes in this world?
[09:14] Momonga
    Did a player spread the knowledge...?
[09:16] (Flashback) Ains
    What great craftsman created this?
[09:19] (Flashback) Osk
    It's an item made by the rune workshop of the
    dwarven kingdom in the Azerlisia mountain range.
[09:26] (Flashback) Ains
    A dwarven rune workshop?
[09:29] (Flashback) Ainzach
    Hey, Osk.
[09:30] (Flashback) Ainzach
    How did you know I was with
    His Majesty without my saying so?
[09:35] (Flashback) Osk
    You came to see me with someone
    who seemed to be your superior
[09:38] (Flashback) Osk
    even though E-Rantel is currently
    controlled by the Sorcerer Kingdom.
[09:42] (Flashback) Osk
    I made an educated guess.
[09:45] (Flashback) Osk
    Please allow me to introduce myself.
[09:47] (Flashback) Osk
    I am the humble merchant, Osk.
[09:51] (Flashback) Ains
    I am Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown.
[09:56] (Flashback) Osk
    I see...
[09:58] (Flashback) Osk
    So, Your Majesty, what brings you here today?
[10:04] (Flashback) Ains
    I would like to fight against the
    Warrior King in the colosseum.
[10:07] (Flashback) Osk
    Personally, Your Majesty?!
[10:09] (Flashback) Ains
    That is correct.
[10:10] (Flashback) Osk
    W-Well, aren't you the ruler of a country?
[10:14] (Flashback) Ains
    I am.
[10:15] (Flashback) Osk
    No, well. If that's the case...
[10:18] (Flashback) Ains
    Do not worry.
[10:19] (Flashback) Ains
    No matter what happens to me,
    there will be no trouble.
[10:22] (Flashback) Ains
    I can promise that in writing.
[10:26] (Flashback) Osk
    I gather information on strong
    warriors and various monsters
[10:29] (Flashback) Osk
    in order to plan for their
    appearance in the colosseum.
[10:34] (Flashback) Osk
    I have gathered information on you,
    as well, Your Majesty.
[10:37] (Flashback) Osk
    Did you really kill tens of thousands of
    people from the Kingdom with one magic spell?
[10:43] (Flashback) Ains
    Yes.
[10:44] (Flashback) Ains
    But that spell...
[10:47] (Flashback) Ains
    That's right! That spell is more
    like a trump card among my spells.
[10:51] (Flashback) Ains
    I used it at Master El Nix's request,
[10:54] (Flashback) Ains
    but it is a spell I can only
    use once every ten years.
[10:57] (Flashback) Ains
    I will have to gather power for
    another ten years to use it again.
[11:01] (Flashback) Osk
    Oh! Is it all right to tell
    me something like this?
[11:06] (Flashback) Osk
    Would that not be considered
    a weakness, Your Majesty?
[11:09] (Flashback) Ains
    I do not mind.
[11:10] (Flashback) Ains
    I have other spells that I can use.
[11:14] (Flashback) Osk
    I see.
[11:15] (Flashback) Osk
    One last question.
[11:17] (Flashback) Osk
    Why would the ruler of a country, like yourself,
    want to fight against the Warrior King?
[11:22] (Flashback) Ains
    I heard he was strong, and I got curious.
[11:27] (Flashback) Ains
    I want to know if he is
    stronger than Gazef Stronoff.
[11:34] (Flashback) Osk
    I understand. I will prepare a match with
    the Warrior King for you as soon as possible.
[11:39] (Flashback) Osk
    But there are certain rules you would
     have to follow in the colosseum.
[11:42] (Flashback) Ains
    Of course.
[11:44] (Flashback) Osk
    I would like you to fight using only
    weapons and no magic, Your Majesty.
[11:48] (Flashback) Ainzach
    But His Majesty is a magic caster!
[11:50] (Flashback) Ains
    I do not mind.
[11:54] (Flashback) Ains
    I swear upon my name, Ains Ooal Gown,
[11:57] (Flashback) Ains
    that I will not use magic while
    fighting the Warrior King.
[12:03] (Flashback) Osk
    Headhunter Rabbit.
[12:05] (Flashback) Rabbit
    What?
[12:07] (Flashback) Osk
    What do you think about
    His Majesty, the Sorcerer King?
[12:11] (Flashback) Rabbit
    I wanted to run away as fast as possible.
[12:15] (Flashback) Rabbit
    What are you looking at, pervert?!
[12:18] (Flashback) Osk
    You have nice hands.
[12:20] (Flashback) Osk
    Don't make that kind of face.
[12:22] (Flashback) Osk
    My ideal is the warrior of
    the Blue Rose, Lady Gagaran.
[12:27] (Flashback) Osk
    You're a little too thin compared to her.
[12:31] (Flashback) Rabbit
    I guess I won't be renewing
    my contract next year.
[12:34] (Flashback) Osk
    Oops, I digressed.
[12:36] (Flashback) Osk
    So?
[12:38] (Flashback) Rabbit
    He's crazy-dangerous.
[12:41] Announcer
    I'm sure everyone knows
    the challenger's name.
[12:44] Announcer
    King of the Sorcerer Kingdom,
    His Majesty Ains Ooal Gown!
[12:45] Osk
    How are you feeling, Warrior King?
[12:52] Warrior King
    Thank you.
[12:55] Warrior King
    You've kept all of your promises.
[12:59] Warrior King
    That's how I've managed
    to become this strong.
[13:02] Osk
    Warrior King...
[13:09] Osk
    Don't lose, Warrior King.
[13:19] Jircniv
    Warrior King! Try your best!
[13:21] Jircniv
    You can do it, Warrior King!
[13:24] Crowd/Jircniv
    Warrior King! Warrior King! Warrior King!
[13:27] Warrior King
    I am the war troll Go Gin,
    known as the Warrior King.
[13:32] Ains
    I am the Sorcerer King, Ains Ooal Gown.
[13:35] Ains
    I am the highest-class undead,
    the overlord of death.
[13:40] Warrior King
    Is that so?
[13:42] Warrior King
    Then I will use my all to challenge you.
[13:44] Ains
    Oh? You are not going to belittle my name?
[13:48] Ains
    Do your people not look down on long names?
[13:51] Warrior King
    I see. It seems Your Majesty
    is familiar with war trolls.
[13:57] Warrior King
    However, I would never laugh
    at the name of the strong!
[14:00] Ains
    I see. It seems I need to reevaluate
    the preconceptions I have of your kind.
[14:08] Warrior King
    No need. All it means is there are
    individuals that think differently in every race.
[14:13] Warrior King
    That's all.
[14:16] Ains
    You are right. I've taken a liking to you.
[14:19] Ains
    Warrior King, become my subordinate if I win.
[14:23] Warrior King
    Sure. I'll pledge my
    loyalty to you if you win.
[14:27] Warrior King
    In exchange, I will eat
    Your Majesty if I win.
[14:32] Ains
    Huh?
[14:33] Warrior King
    Until now, I have never met an
    opponent worth killing and eating.
[14:38] Warrior King
    But if I eat someone stronger
    than me, like you,
[14:41] Warrior King
    I will be able to become even stronger.
[14:44] Ains
    Sure. The life of the loser is
    always in the hands of the winner.
[14:50] Ains
    Don't hold a grudge if I end up killing you.
[15:05] Jircniv
    Get him, Warrior King!
[15:15] Ains
    You're using some kind of
    martial art, aren't you?
[15:18] Jircniv
    Do it! There! Go! Warrior King! Warrior King!
[15:22] Ains
    You're an interesting one.
[15:24] Ains
    However, looking at that stance...
[15:26] Ains
    Are you asking me to strike?
[15:28] Ains
    If that's the case...
[15:41] Ains
    He's wary of fire.
[15:44] Ains
    It inhibits his healing
    capabilities, after all.
[15:47] Ains
    But...
[15:47] Jircniv
    Go, Warrior King!
    Right there! Finish him off!
[15:50] Momonga
    Hey, you're supposed to be an allied nation.
[15:53] Momonga
    Shouldn't you worry about me,
    an allied king, a little more? Huh?
[15:53] Jircniv
    Do it, Warrior King! Finish him!
    Finish him off! Warrior King!
[16:02] Ains
    I can emit negative energy when I come
    in physical contact with an enemy.
[16:07] Warrior King
    This isn't poison?
[16:10] Ains
    But you should be able to recover from that
    with your healing capabilities as a troll.
[16:13] Ains
    However, this power of mine also
    weakens your strength and agility.
[16:20] Ains
    That's something you can't heal from.
[16:24] Ains
    On top of not using magic, I've added
    additional restrictions in my match with you.
[16:30] Ains
    I also limited my use of magic items.
[16:38] Ains
    This is a weapon I borrowed from Momon.
[16:42] Ains
    Now, let's continue.
[16:48] Warrior King
    Again?!
[16:52] Warrior King
    Hide Reinforcement!
[16:53] Warrior King
    Greater Hide Reinforcement!
[16:55] Ains
    Activate!
[17:05] Momonga
    Huh? I thought there'd be more
    people cheering for me...
[17:10] Ains
    I guess it's always hard to
    please the crowd in away games.
[17:13] Ains
    Now, Warrior King.
[17:15] Ains
    I'll go for the kill next.
[17:17] Ains
    Will you admit defeat?
[17:20] Warrior King
    No. I am the Warrior King.
[17:23] Warrior King
    The king of the colosseum.
[17:24] Warrior King
    I will resist until I die.
[17:27] Ains
    Then take off your helmet
    and let me see your face.
[17:37] Ains
    A determined gaze.
[17:38] Ains
    Let me ask you.
[17:40] Ains
    Do you have a skill that can beat me?
[17:43] Ains
    Some technique that would turn the tables?
[17:46] Warrior King
    No, but I still want to fight!
[17:51] Ains
    Then, come at me, Warrior King!
[17:56] Ains
    Fast, but that's all.
[17:59] Ains
    Aura of Despair, Level 1.
[18:02] Warrior King
    Strong Strike! Divine Skill, Single Flash!
[18:06] Warrior King
    Flow Acceleration!
[18:15] Warrior King
    Shit!
[18:17] Ains
    No chance of turning the tables, huh?
    Looks like I was fooled.
[18:20] Ains
    Punitto Moe would scold me.
[18:23] Jircniv
    Do it! Take him down, Warrior King!
[18:25] Ains
    So noisy.
[18:27] Momonga
    Jircniv, I'm talking about you!
[18:29] Momonga
    Seriously, what are you saying?!
[18:33] Ains
    Warrior King, there is one
    insurmountable difference between us.
[18:49] Ains
    I am level 100.
[18:51] Ains
    My HP is much greater than yours.
[19:01] Ains
    Hm?
[19:02] Ains
    He's planning to attack with
    as little weight as possible?
[19:06] Ains
    That's a dangerous gamble.
[19:09] Warrior King
    Tell me. Am I weak?
[19:13] Warrior King
    You haven't used your full
    strength in any of your attacks.
[19:16] Warrior King
    Your magic was restricted,
    and you still stand so confidently.
[19:22] Warrior King
    Am I really that weak?
[19:25] Ains
    I've forbidden myself from
    using most of my magic items
[19:30] Ains
    and many of my other skills in this match.
[19:34] Warrior King
    Is that because you'd win
    instantly, otherwise?
[19:38] Ains
    Well, you had the misfortune of facing me.
[19:41] Ains
    If you're the strongest in the Empire,
    I'm probably the strongest in the world.
[19:47] Warrior King
    I see.
[19:49] Warrior King
    But this is fun. To realize there
    is always someone stronger...
[19:54] Ains
    I understand a little bit how you feel.
[19:57] Momonga
    Touch-san...
[19:59] Warrior King
    Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown.
[20:03] Warrior King
    I'd like to see it in my last moment.
[20:05] Warrior King
    Please show me even a fraction
    of your true strength.
[20:09] Warrior King
    Let me get a sense of
    the height of that peak!
[20:12] Ains
    All right. Then, let me show
    you the pinnacle of strength!
[20:17] Ains
    High Tiered Physical Nullification, release.
[20:42] Ains
    Activate.
[20:56] Ains
    Listen well, people of the Empire!
[20:59] Ains
    I am planning to make an institution
    for nurturing adventurers.
[21:04] Ains
    I believe that nurturing and supporting
    adventurers to go out and explore the world
[21:09] Ains
    will be beneficial to my kingdom.
[21:13] Ains
    I do not plan to use
     adventurers as tools for war.
[21:17] Ains
    As I have proven just now,
    I do not lack strength.
[21:22] Ains
    I want real adventurers!
[21:24] Ains
    Those who dream about discovering
    the unknown should join me!
[21:29] Ains
    Unimaginable power will
    be waiting to help you!
[21:34] Ains
    I can even go against the
    absoluteness of death!
[21:45] Ains
    I am one who has surpassed death.
[21:49] Ains
    And I will support you and ensure your growth!
[21:52] Ains
    Come to my kingdom and
    become true adventurers!
[21:59] Ains
    Fly.
[22:03] Ains
    I apologize for my earlier rudeness.
[22:05] Jircniv
    As expected of Master Gown.
[22:07] Jircniv
    You defeated the strongest
    warrior of the Empire so easily.
[22:12] Ains
    Well, it was not certain who would win.
[22:14] Ains
    It seems luck was on my side.
[22:18] Ains
    Then, I will take my leave now.
[22:20] Jircniv
    Please wait!
[22:22] Jircniv
    Sorcerer King, I...
[22:25] Jircniv
    No, the Baharuth Empire...
[22:27] Jircniv
    ...wishes to become a vassal state of
     the Sorcerer Kingdom Ains Ooal Gown.
[22:31] Ains
    Huh?
[22:32] Baziwood
    Va...
[22:33] Nimble
    Vassal state?!
[22:34] Baziwood
    Your Highness!
[22:35] Nimble
    What do you mean by this?!
[22:37] Ains
    Master Jircniv.
[22:38] Ains
    To become a vassal state...
[22:40] Momonga
    What the heck is a vassal state?!
[22:42] Ains
    Such important matters should be discussed
    in writing, not with verbal talks.
[22:48] Jircniv
    Then, you'll accept my Empire
    if I submit it in writing?
[22:52] Ains
    Please send me the details
[22:53] Ains
    of what kind of standing you wish
    for the Empire as a vassal state.
[23:00] Nimble
    Your Highness...
[23:01] Jircniv
    We have no chance of defeating him.
[23:03] Jircniv
    His cunning far surpasses my own and
    he's already seen through all of our plans.
[23:10] Jircniv
    Why do you think he rejected my
    offer to become a vassal state?
[23:14] Jircniv
    He shouldn't have any reason to refuse.
[23:17] Jircniv
    It must have been something that
    went against his original plans.
[23:20] Jircniv
    He may have been planning to conduct a
    terrible experiment on the Empire.
[23:24] Jircniv
    Or maybe it had something to do with the
    adventurers he was trying to recruit...
[23:28] Baziwood
    Maybe he wasn't really
    thinking about anything?
[23:30] Jircniv
    There's no way!
[23:32] Jircniv
    Don't worry. There are many
    types of vassal states.
[23:36] Jircniv
    I'll do everything I can to
    retain some level of autonomy.
[23:39] Nimble
    What about your own safety, Your Highness?
[23:42] Jircniv
    It's not guaranteed.
[23:44] Jircniv
    I plan to show him that I can be valuable
     alive to manage the vassal state,
[23:49] Jircniv
    but who knows...
[23:51] Jircniv
    I may be the most unfortunate
    person in this world right now...
