[00:02] Ai
    Teru-san.
[00:04] Ai
    Teru-san.
[00:06] Ai
    Teru-san!
[00:10] Ai
    It's already 9 AM.
[00:16] Teru
    G-Good morning...
[00:19] Ai
    You're more of a sleepyhead than I thought.
[00:23] Ai
    Iko-san's already awake. Shape up, will you?
[00:27] Teru
    Oh, right. Iko-san and Ai-san
    stayed over last night.
[00:33] (Flashback) Ai
    The one I'm after is in Amarariruku.
[00:39] (Flashback) Ai
    It's...
[00:40] (Flashback) Ai
    the other...
[00:42] (Flashback) Ai
    me.
[00:45] Teru
    I reported this to Unilord-san...
[00:50] Teru
    But I wonder what Ai-san
    means by "the other me."
[00:56] Ai
    Come, now. Let's get you
    dressed and go outside.
[00:59] Ai
    Today, I'd like for us to get
    to know each other better.
[02:37] Teru
    Heart-shift!
[02:42] Ai
    This is what heroes look like? How bizarre!
[02:45] Ai
    How does all this work?
[02:47] Shy
    U-Um... What are we doing at a riverbank?
SIGN    Episode 16:
     Cloud in the Dark
[02:52] Ai
    I figured no one would see us here,
    so it'd be easier to show our secrets.
[02:56] Shy
    Secrets?
[03:01] Shy
    Ai-san?!
[03:12] Iko
    Whoa, that's amazing! You look so cool!
[03:15] Ai
    This is my transformation spell.
[03:17] Ai
    Though mine is basically
    just sleight of hand.
[03:20] Ai
    You two played all sorts of
    games with me yesterday,
[03:23] Ai
    so I thought I'd teach you one today.
[03:27] Shy
    A game?
[03:28] Iko
    So like a shinobi game?
[03:30] Ai
    Correct!
[03:32] Ai
    We're gonna throw this into the river.
[03:35] Shy
    Skipping stones?
[03:36] Iko
    I haven't done that in forever!
[03:38] Ai
    Aw, so you two have played this before?
[03:41] Iko
    Let's see who can skip one the furthest!
[03:44] Shy
    Okay!
[03:45] Ai
    That's not what we're doin'.
[03:46] Both
    Huh?
[03:53] Ai
    We see how many of these we can
    lodge in the tree across the river.
[03:57] Shy and Iko
    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[03:59] Iko
    What the heck was that?! A superpower?!
[04:01] Shy
    You made it look so easy,
    but that's impossible for us!
[04:04] Ai
    You can do it. Just sense the rock's heart.
[04:09] Iko
    D-Do you get it?
[04:11] Shy
    No...
[04:20] Ai
    What're you doin', Tokimaru?
[04:24] Tokimaru
    I'm keeping an eye on the area.
[04:26] Ai
    I was just playin' a game with Teru-chan
    and Iko-chan. Rock shurikens.
[04:31] Tokimaru
    Well, that's rather nostalgic.
[04:33] Ai
    More importantly, why're you shirtless?
[04:36] Tokimaru
    I just finished bathing...
[04:39] Ai
    You were totally playin' around!
[04:41] Tokimaru
    No, I was washing my top...
[04:45] Ai
    You're not gonna wash your scarf?
[04:47] Ai
    You always have that on.
[04:50] Tokimaru
    I can't ever lose this, no matter what.
[04:55] Ai
    Uh-huh... So since you
    refuse to ever take it off,
[04:59] Ai
    did someone you like give it to you?
[05:01] Tokimaru
    Yes.
[05:02] Tokimaru
    You did, Ai-sama.
[05:05] Ai
    What?! Did I really give you that?!
[05:08] Ai
    No way! I don't remember that at all!
[05:10] Tokimaru
    Well, it was quite a while ago.
[05:14] Tokimaru
    More importantly, Ai-sama...
[05:16] Tokimaru
    Do you really not intend to go back?
[05:20] Tokimaru
    No matter what path forward
    you take, only chaos awaits.
[05:27] Ai
    This must be fate.
[05:31] Ai
    I'm the only one who can save her soul.
[05:38] Shy
    Aw, I messed up again...
[05:41] Ai
    Well? How's it goin', you two?
[05:43] Iko
    It's just not possible, no matter
    how much spin I get on it.
[05:46] Ai
    Uh-huh...
[05:47] Ai
    It's not just up to your hands.
[05:50] Ai
    You first need to realize that
    the rock also has a heart.
[05:54] Ai
    You find one that wants
    to get to the other side,
[05:57] Ai
    and then want to help it on its way.
[06:00] Ai
    Thank it, believe in it, and let it guide you.
[06:06] Shy
    Thank... its heart?
[06:09] Shy
    We need to believe that we're helping it?
[06:13] Shy
    I see.
[06:15] Shy
    So it's like helping another person.
[06:18] Shy
    With the rock in my hand, I'll act like
    I'm giving its back a little push...
[06:27] Ai
    See?
[06:28] Shy
    I-I think I get it now!
[06:30] Ai
    Now let's try two at once.
[06:33] Shy
    Huh?! Two at once?!
[06:35] Tokimaru
    It's all right. Tell everyone in the village
    that there's nothing to worry about.
[06:39] Tokimaru
    I will protect Ai-sama at any cost.
[06:44] Tokimaru
    Even if I have to give my own life.
[06:53] Adam
    I hear the Japanese hero
    gave a report to Unilord.
[06:57] Pepesha
    Yes. Apparently, Teru-chan's ninja friend
    is after someone in Amarariruku.
[07:04] Adam
    I wonder how long it's been since the
    three of us last got together like this.
[07:08] Pepesha
    I guess that's just how
    serious this situation is.
[07:13] Davie
    Well, since we're together now...
[07:17] Davie
    Let's enjoy a nice, long chat with some tea.
[07:20] Davie
    Right, Century?
[07:22] Adam
    Whatever, but...
[07:25] Adam
    How many times must I tell you
    two to drop these bad habits?
[07:28] Pepesha
    I see you're as strict as ever.
[07:31] Adam
    More importantly, this Amarariruku lot.
[07:34] Adam
    I hear they're able to
    project one's heart outside.
[07:38] Pepesha
    Exactly. That's what I
    witnessed when I fought them.
[07:43] Adam
    You were over there with
    the Japanese hero, right?
[07:47] Adam
    We still don't know Stigma's motives,
[07:50] Adam
    but what's the point of
    creating that heart space?
[07:53] Davie
    Probably to control people?
[07:56] Adam
    So what's the point of doing
    that when heroes are present?
[08:01] Pepesha
    You think they're telling us
    they're after heroes?
[08:04] Pepesha
    To take heroes down?
[08:07] Adam
    It means their motive
    might be outside of that.
[08:13] Davie
    So they trap heroes within this
    space in place of a prison,
[08:17] Davie
    and then carry on from there?
[08:20] Adam
    That's a possibility.
[08:23] Adam
    But I can't help but think
    there's something deeper.
[08:28] Adam
    If we mess up our next step,
    the worst may happen.
[08:33] Pepesha
    The worst...
[08:36] Pepesha
    I can't let a tragedy worse than
    what happened with Mama happen.
[08:42] Pepesha
    Right, Teru-chan?
[08:51] Shy
    In the end, I was only able
    to get one rock to hit.
[08:55] Iko
    By the way, how'd you come this far, Ai-san?
[08:58] Ai
    How? I just used the train.
[09:00] Iko
    What?! You're able to use the train?
[09:03] Ai
    W-Well, that's rude! Of course I can.
[09:07] Ai
    The station where I had to
    transfer was way too crowded.
[09:10] Iko
    Oh, you mean in Tokyo?
[09:12] Ai
    Oh, yes.
[09:14] Shy
    The big city... I'd love to go someday!
[09:18] Ai
    Well, there definitely were a lot
    of people and a buncha buildings,
[09:22] Ai
    so it seemed pretty lively.
[09:24] Ai
    There was some giant tower
    that pierced the heavens, too.
[09:28] Ai
    You could probably see real far if
    you went all the way to the top.
[09:37] Doki
    Hey, Utsuro! Isn't it about time?
[09:41] Inori
    Let us begin our salvation.
[09:44] Utsuro
    What's the point in this scheme?
[09:48] Doki
    How the hell would I know?
[09:51] Inori
    This is your dream, after all.
[09:59] Utsuro
    I guess so.
[10:06] Ai
    Purty? What's the matter?
[10:10] Utsuro
    This world is nothing but fantasy.
[10:15] Utsuro
    In which case we don't need to hesitate.
[10:20] Utsuro
    Turn everything into nothing.
[10:33] Shrimpy
    Can you hear me, Teru?
[10:35] Shy
    Shrimpy-san?
[10:37] Shrimpy
    There's an emergency!
[10:39] Shrimpy
    This is a message from Unilord to all heroes.
[10:43] Woman
    What's going on?
[10:50] Shrimpy
    Due to an unidentified black
    sphere, the heart of Tokyo...
[10:55] Shrimpy
    has disappeared.
[10:57] Shy
    Tokyo has disappeared?
[11:04] Shy
    Shy.

[11:14] Reporter
    We're currently right
    above Tokyo! Take a look!
[11:18] Reporter
    There is a huge dome in
    the heart of the city.
[11:20] Reporter
    While the JSDF is trying to get inside,
    they have been unsuccessful so far.
[11:26] Reporter
    What in the world happened to Tokyo?
[11:34] Unilord
    Amarariruku has appeared in Tokyo.
[11:38] Century
    What's going on within the dome?
[11:40] Spirit
    Right now, we're not sure.
[11:42] Spirit
    I tried to warp in, but it
    seems that I can't get inside.
[11:46] Lady Black
    I want to prioritize a rescue, but
    we're talking about tens of thousands...
[11:51] Stardust
    We'll have to find a way inside.
[11:54] Unilord
    This is an attack on a scale
    we've never seen before.
[11:57] Unilord
    We'll have to work together
    to get through this.
[12:01] Century
    But without knowing
    exactly what they're after,
[12:03] Century
    if we act carelessly, we might
    play right into their hands.
[12:07] Lady Black
    But if we just stand by and do nothing,
[12:09] Lady Black
    that might be what they're hoping for, too.
[12:12] Stardust
    He knows that.
[12:15] Stardust
    He's just saying we need to be
    cautious of the outside, too.
[12:19] Unilord
    It might also be their intention
    to gather all the heroes to Tokyo,
[12:23] Unilord
    so I've asked all the other heroes
[12:25] Unilord
    to reinforce the security of their
    own and surrounding countries.
[12:30] Mianlong
    Wh-What are we going to do next?
[12:34] Shy
    I-I...
[12:37] Shy
    I really want to head over there
    immediately and save everyone.
[12:42] Shy
    While we're just standing here,
[12:43] Shy
    everyone inside there might be suffering.
[12:49] Shy
    Just thinking about that hurts me.
[12:52] Spirit
    Teru-chan...
[12:53] Stardust
    I guess I can understand that feeling.
[12:57] Stardust
    Unilord, we should probably split up into
    an infiltration team and a standby team.
[13:04] Stardust
    The infiltration team will infiltrate the dome,
    rescue the people, and repel the enemy.
[13:11] Stardust
    The standby team will secure the area and
    assist any people in the area to safety.
[13:19] Unilord
    In that case, let us split
    up into these two teams.
[13:23] Unilord
    The chosen leaders will create
    their teams and command them.
[13:29] Unilord
    The standby team's leader will be Century.
[13:31] Unilord
    I will leave this task to you.
[13:33] Century
    Understood. Do we have contact
    with the Japanese police or JSDF?
[13:37] Unilord
    It is possible to work with them.
[13:40] Unilord
    And as for the leader of
    the infiltration team...
[13:44] Unilord
    Shy, I appoint you.
[13:47] Shy
    Huh?
[13:49] Shy
    Er, wha, wait... Huh?!
[13:51] Unilord
    The location of this mission is Tokyo.
[13:54] Unilord
    The Japanese hero knows more about
    this country than any of the others.
[13:59] Unilord
    And you have prior experience
    fighting our enemy.
[14:05] Unilord
    No one else here is more suited
    for this role than you.
[14:10] Unilord
    Both team leaders will
    choose their team members.
[14:13] Unilord
    Once you have formed your teams,
    proceed with your plans.
[14:17] Century
    Stardust, Spirit, come here for a moment.
[14:21] Century
    There's something I want to confirm
    regarding this space that Amarariruku creates.
[14:25] Spirit
    Roger!
[14:34] Shy
    I'm the leader?
[14:38] Lady Black
    Hey, what are you doing?
[14:40] Lady Black
    Did you decide on your team members?
[14:42] Shy
    P-Piltz-san. Sorry, not yet.
[14:46] Shy
    I probably shouldn't be the leader...
[14:49] Shy
    I don't have much experience, and I'm weak...
[14:53] Shy
    So...
[14:55] Lady Black
    A leader's job is to rely on others.
[14:58] Shy
    Huh?
[14:59] Lady Black
    If you lack experience,
    get someone who has some.
[15:02] Lady Black
    If you're weak, then get
    someone who's strong.
[15:07] Lady Black
    Figure out your limits, and leave your
    shortcomings to people who make up for them.
[15:12] Lady Black
    That's what a leader is, and that's
    what's being asked of you.
[15:16] Lady Black
    We're short on time here, so chop chop!
[15:19] Shy
    Piltz-san!
[15:22] Shy
    Do you really think I can do this?
[15:27] Lady Black
    Are you stupid?
[15:29] Lady Black
    If I really thought you couldn't,
    I would've objected until I died.
[15:41] Shy
    Thank you very much. This is delicious.
[15:45] Mianlong
    I know things are really rough right now,
[15:47] Mianlong
    but I believe it will all work out.
[15:51] Mianlong
    I know that you're strong, after all.
[15:54] Mianlong
    Oh! Please let me know if there's
    anything I can do for you.
[15:58] Mianlong
    I'll do my best, too!
[16:00] Shy
    Okay. Thank you very much.
[16:04] Shy
    Both of them just gave
    me a little push, right?
[16:11] Century
    I see. So despite how
    powerful your heart is,
[16:15] Century
    you couldn't escape that space?
[16:18] Spirit
    Right. I think it's safe to assume that
    the space Mama—Tzveta—created
[16:23] Spirit
    and the dome that's enveloped
    Tokyo are the same.
[16:27] Stardust
    Which means it'll be difficult for
    us to enter that space, as well.
[16:34] Shy
    U-Um... C-Century-shan...
[16:38] Shy
    M-May I talk to you?
[16:40] Century
    What is it? Keep it brief, please.
[16:43] Shy
    P-Previously, when we were in that space,
    we couldn't contact anyone on the outside.
[16:48] Shy
    There's a chance we won't be
    able to exit once we enter,
[16:52] Shy
    so there's something I wanted
    to decide right now.
[16:55] Shy
    If...
[16:57] Shy
    If there's no contact from me even
    after some time has passed...
[17:00] Shy
    I'd like you to prioritize
    the rescuing of civilians!
[17:05] Century
    Do you plan on losing?
[17:07] Shy
    Oh! N-No! I plan to give it my all!
[17:11] Shy
    I just thought we'd need a second team
    just in case I went down in there.
[17:18] Shy
    The most important thing here
    is the lives of the civilians!
[17:21] Spirit
    Teru-chan...
[17:23] Century
    Understood. We'll make the
    necessary preparations.
[17:27] Shy
    Th-Thank you!
[17:29] Century
    But I also have a request.
[17:32] Shy
    Huh?
[17:33] Century
    I ask only one thing.
    Come back alive, no matter what.
[17:37] Century
    We're counting on you, Leader Shy.
[17:41] Shy
    Right!
[17:46] Spirit
    Teru-chan... You're a completely different
    person compared to a month ago.

    A-All I have to do now is choose my

[18:08] Ai
    I heard everything that's going on.
[18:11] Ai
    I, Ai Tennoji, shall accompany you!
[18:15] Shy
    A-Ai-san and Iko-san?!
[18:17] Shy
    H-How did you two get here?
[18:20] Ai
    Well, I am a shinobi.
[18:22] Ai
    So I snuck in all shinobi-like.
[18:24] Shy
    A-All the way up here?!
[18:26] Ai
    Precisely!
[18:27] Iko
    Uh...
[18:30] Unilord
    I had Shrimpy invite her up here.
[18:34] Shy
    Huh? B-But she said she snuck up here...
[18:38] Ai
    I was joking, of course.
[18:42] Ai
    Teru-san, I wanna help out, too.
[18:46] Ai
    I'm pretty sure the only one who can
    cut a way into that black dome
[18:50] Ai
    is me.
[19:00] Shy
    Your sword...
[19:02] Ai
    Just as my sword led me to you,
[19:06] Ai
    I'm sure she'll guide us into that barrier, too.
[19:09] Ai
    So...
[19:11] Ai
    please let me help you.
[19:13] Shy
    But I can't drag you into this, Ai-san.
[19:17] Unilord
    I believe it's worth trying out.
[19:20] Unilord
    I do sense special powers
    of the heart in Ai-san.
[19:24] Shy
    But...
[19:26] Ai
    Teru-san.
[19:28] Ai
    Saving people isn't just
    reserved for heroes to do.
[19:31] Shy
    Huh?
[19:32] Ai
    She wants to help out, too.
[19:35] Ai
    Don't try to handle all this on
    your own. Let me help, Shy-san!
[19:43] Shy
    What I need to do...
[19:45] Shy
    What I need to do as a leader is...
[19:49] Shy
    Ai-san! I will accept your help!
[19:55] Ai
    All right! Leave it to me!
[19:58] Ai
    They say there's no time like the present!
[20:00] Ai
    Go take care of the rest of your tasks.
[20:05] Shy
    Right!
[20:07] Shy
    Don't be embarrassed. It's okay.
[20:10] Shy
    If I'm lacking strength,
[20:12] Shy
    I know everyone's strengths more than anyone!

    P-Piltz-san!
[20:25] Shy
    Um, thank you for meeting with me.
[20:30] Shy
    Pepesha-san, I know just
    how powerful you are.
[20:34] Shy
    Please help me out.
[20:38] Spirit
    Of course, Captain.
[20:41] Shy
    Thank you!
[20:43] Shy
    I'd like you to join my team
    as well, Mianlong-san!
[20:46] Mianlong
    But I don't know how helpful I can be...
[20:50] Shy
    When we fought together before,
[20:52] Shy
    I felt something after seeing your power.
[20:55] Shy
    Your strength not to harm others is kinder
    and more powerful than any other power.
[21:02] Shy
    I'm sure I'll need that strength!
[21:08] Mianlong
    All right.
[21:09] Mianlong
    I will do everything I can to live
    up to your expectations, Leader!
[21:14] Shy
    And Piltz-san.
[21:17] Shy
    U-Um, if you wouldn't mind—
[21:19] Lady Black
    Are you stupid?!
[21:21] Lady Black
    Shouldn't you have asked me first?!
[21:24] Shy
    Huh?!
[21:25] Lady Black
    How are you going to take care
    of the injured people inside?
[21:27] Lady Black
    Shouldn't you be starting with that?!
[21:30] Shy
    Yes...
[21:32] Lady Black
    And!
[21:35] Lady Black
    If you're going to be
    our leader, stand proud.
[21:38] Lady Black
    My life is in your hands, Leader.
[21:42] Shy
    Right!
[21:44] Iko
    T-Teru-chan, Ai-san.
[21:49] Iko
    D-Do your best out there!
[21:52] Shy
    I will!
[21:56] Shy
    Okay!
[22:01] Shy
    Let's go.
