SIGN    Episode 20:
     A Nice Guy
[01:31] Stardust
    I've come to thank you.
    Thanks for letting us know where you were.
[01:37] Stigma
    You're very welcome.
[01:39] Stigma
    I wanted you to find us.
[01:42] Stigma
    Is it just you? You should have all come.
[01:46] Stardust
    Eh, I should be plenty for this mission.
[01:52] Stardust
    As long as we don't know what he's after,
[01:55] Stardust
    it's too dangerous to bring anyone else here.
[01:59] Stardust
    Is he after the heroes?
[02:03] Stardust
    Or the civilians?
[02:05] Reporter
    H-Help me.... I-I think I'm losing my mind...
[02:10] Stigma
    You heard her. Want to try saving her?
[02:14] Stigma
    How'd you do it before?
[02:16] Stigma
    Oh, right. Didn't you cut their finger off?
[02:24] Stigma
    What will you do this time?
[02:33] Stardust
    I'm not sure what you're expecting of me,
[02:37] Stardust
    but we've done a bit of
    research on this thing, too.
[02:42] Stardust
    If we try to take the ring off
    shortly after it's been put on,
[02:45] Stardust
    it apparently comes off pretty easily.
[02:48] Stigma
    Ah, so you noticed.
[02:51] Stigma
    I was worried that you might do
    something unnecessarily cruel again.
[02:55] Stardust
    What a petty hobby.
[02:58] Stardust
    Weren't you taught to be nice to girls?
[03:03] Stigma
    Quabala-chan, you're up.
[03:06] Stigma
    Go fight him.
[03:07] Quabala
    Huh? Er, what? I-I don't
    know about fighting...
[03:11] Quabala
    A-And, I mean... Even he just
    said to be nice to girls...
[03:17] Stigma
    Quabala-chan.
[03:20] Stigma
    Go.
[03:23] Quabala
    Okay.
[03:26] Stardust
    Are you sure about this?
[03:28] Stardust
    You really don't seem like you want to do it.
[03:31] Quabala
    O-O-O-Of course I'm not sure!
    Q-Quit messing with me!
[03:34] Quabala
    E-E-Even I don't wanna
    do something this scary!
[03:39] Quabala
    B-B-But having Stigma-sama hate me...
[03:43] Quabala
    is even scarier!
[03:53] Stardust
    If you're scared, then you should've
    just listened to your heart.
[04:00] Quabala
    W-W-Wait! Didn't you just say to be nice to...
[04:03] Stardust
    But you're an enemy.
[04:05] Quabala
    No! P-P-Please don't kill me!
[04:10] Quabala
    I...
[04:12] Quabala
    I'm dead.
[04:16] Stardust
    Just kidding.
[04:19] Stardust
    Now, then. Looks like you're
    the only one left, boss.
[04:24] Stigma
    Well, this isn't good, Quabala-chan.
[04:28] Stigma
    I was hoping you'd hold out a little longer.
[04:31] Stardust
    If you'll get rid of this
    black orb that's in the way,
[04:34] Stardust
    I'll settle for just knocking you out.
[04:38] Stigma
    Ah, that's too bad.
[04:41] Stigma
    I can't make this disappear.
[04:44] Stigma
    Sorry.
[04:51] Stardust
    Nah, you don't need to apologize.
[04:54] Stardust
    You're just going to be in a bit more pain.
[05:01] Stigma
    Say, what do you think is the thing that
    is the most easily felt in people's hearts?
[05:08] Kid
    You can do it!
[05:10] Stigma
    I wonder what kind of feelings are
    going to envelop Earth after this.
SIGN    TV
[05:14] Crowd
    You've got this!
[05:17] Stardust
    Who knows? Maybe it'll be the
    satisfaction of seeing you go flying.
[05:23] Quabala
    Woe upon thee!
[05:27] Quabala
    Let blood flowers bloom
    and bring woe upon thee!
[05:32] Stigma
    The emotion that comes
    through the quickest...
[05:36] Stigma
    is fear.
[05:42] Stigma
    Thanks to you, everyone will feel it...
[05:45] Child
    Stardust!
[05:46] Crowd
    Stardust! Stardust!
[05:47] Stigma
    An even more powerful fear.
[05:53] Unilord
    Stigma, is that your goal?
[05:58] Quabala
    Woe upon thee, woe upon thee!
[06:01] Quabala
    H-H-How dare you hurt Stigma-sama?!
[06:06] Stardust
    That's strange. No attack
    should be able to hit me.
[06:13] Quabala
    Wh-Wh-Whenever I catch a human from behind,
[06:15] Quabala
    they'll be possessed by me.
[06:18] Quabala
    A-A-And my heart will take over
    any human possessed by me.
[06:23] Quabala
    Wh-Wh-Which means that you
[06:26] Quabala
    can't avoid my attacks now.
[06:30] Stigma
    Well done, Quabala-chan.
[06:33] Quabala
    I did it, S-Stigma-sama!
[06:36] Quabala
    N-Now we're all set!
[06:39] Stigma
    Yes, thank you.
[06:41] Stigma
    You're the best.
[06:43] Quabala
    Oh, ew. Blood is scary.
[06:47] Quabala
    I-I'm scared of your blood, Stigma-sama.
[06:50] Quabala
    I'm scared! It's too scary!
    It's so scary I could die!
[06:56] Quabala
    It's so terrified that I'm in bliss!
[06:57] Quabala
    Also known as terrifliss!
SIGN    Terrifliss
[07:01] Stigma
    Now, shall we get started?
[07:05] Stigma
    Let's give the world the gift of fear.
[07:08] Stardust
    I don't know what you've got planned,
[07:10] Stardust
    but did you really think I'd just sit still?
[07:17] Stardust
    I'm not holding back this time!
[07:24] Quabala
    H-Hit me once and get two bruises.
[07:27] Quabala
    I-I told you, didn't I? You're possessed.
[07:30] Quabala
    You and I are one right now.
[07:33] Quabala
    A-Any damage you inflict on me
    will come right back to you.
[07:39] Stardust
    I see.
[07:41] Quabala
    A-A-And!
[07:45] Quabala
    The bigger the fear in your heart gets,
[07:49] Quabala
    th-th-the stronger I become.
[07:53] Quabala
    I-I-I'm going to scare you even more!
[08:00] Stardust
    Scare me, eh?
[08:03] Stigma
    How does it feel, Stardust?
[08:06] Stardust
    Honestly, it doesn't.
[08:08] Stardust
    Make me some tea. I'm exhausted.
[08:12] Stigma
    I'm very aware that you have a strong heart.
[08:16] Stigma
    But most people aren't like that.
[08:20] Stigma
    Everyone who's watching you right now
    has fear seeping into their hearts.
[08:27] Stigma
    If a powerful hero goes down,
[08:29] Stigma
    the hope that's in weak
    hearts will disappear.
[08:33] Stigma
    Yes...
[08:36] Stigma
    The seeds of fear that we sow will sprout,
[08:39] Stigma
    and weak hearts will fear
    me and long for salvation.
[08:47] Stardust
    Weak, eh?
[08:51] Stardust
    I met someone like this before.
[08:54] Stardust
    No matter how you looked at her,
    she was weak and terrified.
[08:58] Stardust
    No matter how much she got hit
    or hurt, she couldn't get mad.
[09:03] Stardust
    She was a spineless child.
[09:06] Stardust
    But it was her weakness that
    stirred my unmoving heart.
[09:14] Stardust
    Stigma, you'd best not underestimate
[09:17] Stardust
    the weakness of people...
    and the power born of that weakness.
[09:23] Quabala
    W-Wait! I-I-If you kill me, you're gonna die!
[09:27] Quabala
    A-A-Aren't you scared?
[09:40] Stigma
    You know...
[09:43] Stigma
    You seem way weaker than
    when I first met you.
[09:48] Stigma
    I didn't think you'd hold back so much.
[09:51] Stardust
    Yeah, that's right.
[09:55] Stardust
    Because I remembered...
[10:23] Stardust
    that I want to become the nicest guy
[10:29] Stardust
    in the world.
[10:34] Stardust
    Shy.

     Loves being scared and is constantly scared.
    Member of Amarariruku
[10:44] Stardust
    I'm sure you can do better than that,
[10:47] Stardust
    Stigma.
[10:49] Stardust
    You're overestimating me.
[10:51] Stigma
    I'm very delicate, you know.
[10:56] Quabala
    S-S-S-Stigma-sama! I-I-I-I'm so sorry!
[11:01] Quabala
    Th-This happened because you protected me!
[11:04] Stigma
    I'm fine, Quabala-chan.
[11:07] Stigma
    My body is a small price to pay.
[11:11] Stardust
    Exactly who are you?
[11:14] Stigma
    I'm a dreamer.
[11:17] Stigma
    And the seeds of that dream
    have already been sown.
[11:21] Stigma
    Once this black orb of a shell is split open,
[11:24] Stigma
    an immense wave of fear
    will come flowing out.
[11:28] Stigma
    And then,
[11:30] Stigma
    it'll spread throughout the world
    at an incredible speed,
[11:34] Stigma
    and the seeds of fear embedded
    in people's hearts will sprout.
[11:39] Stardust
    Then why don't you go ahead and
    shatter this so-called shell?
[11:43] Stigma
    I can't split it open.
[11:45] Stigma
    It can only be destroyed from the inside.
[11:49] Stigma
    And once the seeds of fear bloom,
[11:54] Stigma
    everyone in the world can
    become a part of Amarariruku.
[12:00] Stigma
    They'll all become one with my heart.
[12:03] Stigma
    They'll stop fighting and
    competing with each other.
[12:07] Stigma
    Everyone will be equal and equally free.
[12:11] Stigma
    This will be the first step
    to this wonderful world.
[12:15] Stigma
    Their fear will break through their bodies,
[12:18] Stigma
    everyone will become the same as me,
[12:21] Stigma
    and we will all live in this dream forever.
[12:25] Stardust
    Talk about dumb.
[12:28] Stardust
    In the end, you're just some selfish
    child who wants to control others.
[12:32] Stigma
    Yup.
[12:37] Stigma
    I am a child.
[12:39] Stigma
    I want a world where we can remain children.
[12:43] Stigma
    I'm done here.
[12:46] Stigma
    I'll just be waiting around patiently...
[12:49] Stigma
    for the heroes to split open that shell.
[12:53] Stardust
    You're not getting away!
[13:01] Stardust
    Damn it. Well, this isn't good.
[13:06] Stardust
    Century, is it possible to get in contact
    with the group inside the black orb?
[13:10] Century
    The ones in the orb?
[13:11] Century
    We haven't been able to
    reach them for a while now.
[13:14] Stardust
    This is an emergency.
[13:16] Stardust
    Even if Shy and the others are
    able to destroy that black orb,
[13:19] Stardust
    we might end up with casualties
    all around the world.
[13:22] Stardust
    If we can't contact them,
    I'll just go tell them myself.
[13:26] Shrimpy
    It's too dangerous to go in on your own.
[13:29] Century
    I'll go with you.
[13:30] Stardust
    But if Stigma shows up again...
[13:33] Tokimaru
    Wait!
[13:38] Tokimaru
    Could you let me handle this?
[13:41] Stardust
    Who are you?
[13:48] Utsuro
    Come on, you two.
[13:51] Utsuro
    If you don't take this seriously,
[13:54] Utsuro
    I can't even muster the will to kill you.
[14:01] Shy
    She's strong...
[14:02] Ai
    Hmph! You keep talkin' about killin',
[14:05] Ai
    but you sure talk big for someone
    who couldn't even step on a bug.
[14:08] Ai
    Like you've ever even killed someone before!
[14:12] Ai
    I'll smack some sense back into ya until
    you turn back into your old, kind self!
[14:18] Utsuro
    It really must be nice.
[14:20] Utsuro
    I envy you, Ai-nee.
[14:24] Utsuro
    You still believe that I and
    the other shinobi are pure.
[14:30] Utsuro
    I envy the way your eyes
    sparkle as you believe that.
[14:34] Ai
    What're you talkin' about?
[14:36] Utsuro
    I did kill.
[14:38] Ai
    Huh?
[14:40] Utsuro
    Lots of people.
[14:42] Utsuro
    In a filthy way, in the name of justice...
[14:46] Utsuro
    One after another, after another,
    after another, after another...
[14:50] Utsuro
    My hands were soaked
     in the blood of my victims.
[14:55] Utsuro
    So... please.
[15:00] Utsuro
    Please kill me with those
    clean hands of yours, Ai-nee.
[15:07] Ai
    No... That can't be right.
[15:10] Ai
    You loved and cherished
    even the smallest lives...
[15:15] Ai
    There's no way you could kill people.
[15:19] Utsuro
    I guess you're gonna try to run
    away from reality as usual,
[15:25] Utsuro
    Ai-nee.
[15:28] Ai
    The real Mai wouldn't talk like that!
[15:31] Shy
    Ai-san! stay calm!
[15:33] Ai
    Don't get in my way!
[15:35] Ai
    Don't you dare insult my little sister!
[15:37] Ai
    You imposter!
[15:42] Ai
    This is... Mai's...
[15:46] Utsuro
    Now do you believe me?
[15:59] Ai
    Truly...
[16:00] Ai
    Mai... I always admired you!
[16:04] Ai
    Not because you were skilled or
    because everyone respected you.
[16:08] Ai
    But I really loved your kind heart.
[16:12] Ai
    Who the hell changed you?!
[16:15] Ai
    Who's the one who turned the
    little sister I admired into this?!
[16:19] Utsuro
    I've always been like this.
[16:23] Utsuro
    It's just that when I met him, I realized...
[16:26] Utsuro
    my true form.
[16:29] Utsuro
    What I had thought was justice was
    nothing more than self-righteousness.
[16:36] Utsuro
    I was just a puppet without a heart.
[16:41] Utsuro
    You there, Miss Hero.
[16:43] Utsuro
    You probably don't understand
    my suffering at all, do ya?
[16:48] Utsuro
    Yet you have the nerve to
    say you're gonna save me?
[16:52] Shy
    Saving people is what heroes exist for.
[16:56] Utsuro
    Well, ain't that sweet?
[16:59] Utsuro
    But if that's really what you believe,
[17:02] Utsuro
    you're gonna see hell in the near future.
[17:18] Shy
    Blazing Hunter's Bonfire!
[17:26] Ai
    Hidden Sword Technique: Flower Brazier!
[17:33] Utsuro
    If that's all you've got...
[17:39] Utsuro
    You ain't even gonna be able to kill a bug.
[17:41] Ai
    Teru-san!
[17:42] Utsuro
    Don't move.
[17:43] Utsuro
    Take even one step and I chop this arm off.
[17:48] Utsuro
    You're both weak.
[17:50] Utsuro
    Because your hearts are so half-assed,
[17:53] Utsuro
    hesitations arise, and you can't
    go so far as killin' anyone.
[17:58] Utsuro
    You'll always have these naïve thoughts
    of never gettin' your own hands dirty.
[18:04] Ai
    Shut up!
[18:05] Ai
    We were taught how to handle our hearts
[18:09] Ai
    so that we never mistook
    how to use our strength!
[18:12] Ai
    But now look at you! Now you're...
[18:15] Ai
    Just how many people are you tryin' to hurt?
[18:19] Ai
    Take back your heart, Mai!
[18:21] Ai
    The kind heart you once had!
[18:24] Utsuro
    Ai-nee.
[18:26] Utsuro
    I abandoned my heart a long time ago.
[18:30] Ai
    Mai...
[18:31] Shy
    No.
[18:34] Shy
    That's a lie.
[18:37] Shy
    If you had abandoned your heart
    because you were in so much pain,
[18:41] Shy
    then why are you crying right now?
[18:55] (Flashback) Master
    Ai.
[18:56] (Flashback) Master
    You need to forget about Mai.
[18:59] (Flashback) Ai
    What? B-But, Master, Mai is...
[19:03] (Flashback) Master
    Following our code,
    I have sent men after her.
[19:06] (Flashback) Master
    You should understand, as well...
[19:09] (Flashback) Master
    the fate that awaits a shinobi
    who has lost their way.
[19:13] Shy
    Ai-san!
[19:16] Utsuro
    You sure seem relaxed when
    we're in the middle of a fight!
[19:21] Ai
    T-Teru-san!
[19:23] Utsuro
    Oh, dear. She just decided
    to go down on her own.
[19:27] Ai
    Mai, stop this!
[19:29] Ai
    We... We were basically family
    with all the other shinobi!
[19:33] Utsuro
    Family?
[19:35] Ai
    Please, Mai. Let's go back
    to our village together.
[19:39] Ai
    I'm sure everyone will forgive you...
[19:45] Utsuro
    How foolish.
[19:47] Utsuro
    These are all the katanas of
    the ones who came after me.
[19:50] Utsuro
    I no longer have
[19:52] Utsuro
    a family.
[19:56] Ai
    Oh...
[19:58] Ai
    Mai is now...
[20:06] Ai
    If you're gonna continue
    resenting the world,
[20:10] Ai
    then as a shinobi...
[20:11] Ai
    I'll end you myself!
[20:14] Utsuro
    I've been waiting to hear
    those words for so long,
[20:19] Utsuro
    Ai-nee.
[20:32] Ai
    Shinobi wield a blade
    for the sake of justice.
[20:37] Ai
    Putting their hearts into their blades and
    cuttin' down evil is the destiny of a shinobi.
[20:44] Ai
    That gentle smile will never return.
[20:49] Ai
    I can't hesitate!
[21:00] Shy
    Ai-san, no!
[21:02] Ai
    Hidden Sword Technique: Tower of White Jade!
[21:14] Ai
    This is...
[21:16] Ai
    goodbye, Mai!
[21:20] Utsuro
    Ai-nee...
[21:24] Utsuro
    Thank you.
[21:25] Utsuro
    You've finally been sullied.
[21:30] Utsuro
    Your emotions in this sword
    are flowing into me.
[21:37] Utsuro
    We now share the same appearance...
[21:40] Utsuro
    We share the same world and memories...
[21:47] Utsuro
    The vague boundary that was
    between us is now gone,
[21:54] Utsuro
    and we've become one.
[21:59] Utsuro
    Our dream from back then
    has finally come true,
[22:06] Utsuro
    Ai-nee.
