[02:50] ---
    In a quiet shrine in a northern land,
[02:55] ---
    there exists a legendary Holy Sword.
[03:01] ---
    For time eternal, this Holy
    Sword has slept there silently.

[03:09] ---
    Those who pull the sword from
    the earth attain the title of warrior

[03:14] ---
    and conquer the world whole.
[03:20] ---
    One blow from it will silence
    all who stand in opposition,

[03:25] ---
    and one swing of it
    can cut through space itself.

[03:29] ---
    With their wings of light and
    soaring visages, they are true warriors!

[03:36] ---
    Forget not that it was all
    brought about by the Holy Sword.

[03:41] ---
    Forever shall we pass down the
    stories of the Holy Sword's deeds.

[03:47] ---
    For eternity shall we pass
    down the name of the Holy Sword.

[03:51] ---
    The Holy Sword named... Excalibur!
[04:00] ---
    And now,
[04:02] ---
    a youth attempting to
    create new history has appeared.

[04:09] ---
    His name...
[04:15] ---
    Ox Ford!
[04:21] ---
    "Legend of the Holy Sword 2...
    Wanna Go Drinking, Gambling, and Playing?"

[04:41] ---
    Oh! So this is the Holy Sword!
[04:58] ---
    This is...
[05:01] ---
    disappointing.
[05:03] ---
    Lad! What name do you go by?
[05:05] ---
    Me? My name is...
[05:08] ---
    Fool!
[05:09] ---
    No, I'm not a fool.
[05:12] ---
    I'm actually at the top of my class at...
[05:14] ---
    Fool!
[05:16] ---
    I'm telling you, I'm not...
[05:17] ---
    My legend begins in the 12th century.
[05:20] ---
    Uh huh...
[05:21] ---
    My legend begins in the 12th century.
[05:25] ---
    Do you want to hear the heroic tale?
[05:28] ---
    Yes, of course! That's why I...!
[05:31] ---
    Fool!
[05:33] ---
    Incidentally, if you wish
    to associate with me,
[05:35] ---
    there are 1000 provisions
    I would like you to observe.
[05:38] ---
    You must first hear what
    these provisions are!
[05:40] ---
    I'm sorry. How exactly am I being a fool?
[05:43] ---
    Fool! There is no need
    for you to know that!
[05:46] ---
    Oh... I did something foolish again?
[05:48] ---
    My mornings begin with a
    cup of coffee. Do you know why?
[05:53] ---
    Why?
[05:54] ---
    Fool!
[05:55] ---
    Listen! My mornings begin
    with a cup of coffee!
[06:11] ---
    Nothing beats roasted tea in the morning.
[06:15] ---
    Thus, my mornings begin
    with a cup of coffee!
[06:20] ---
    But you weren't drinking coffee...
[06:21] ---
    ♪ 1 of the 1000 provisions
    I want you to observe:
[06:24] ---
    My mornings begin with a
    cup of coffee. Do not forget that!
[06:28] ---
    But like I just said,
    that wasn't coffee you were...
[06:31] ---
    I know, let me show you something.
[06:34] ---
    Is this... your family?
[06:39] ---
    This woman next to you...
    Don't tell me she's...?!
[06:42] ---
    Yes. They're obviously my family.
[06:46] ---
    A wonderful family it was.
[06:48] ---
    Was?
[06:53] ---
    It happened when I was still in my youth.
[07:03] ---
    The cities grew wild, and the
    people lost hope and idly wasted time.
[07:30] ---
    And I was no exception.
[07:39] ---
    Someday I'll have enough
    money saved up to leave this city.
[07:48] ---
    Thus, I began to watch
    the 7 o'clock news religiously!
[07:53] ---
    I see. So that pretty girl was...
[07:56] ---
    Fool! That has nothing to do with it!
[07:59] ---
    It has nothing to do with it?
[08:00] ---
    Honestly! You don't seem to get it at all!
[08:02] ---
    By which you mean...?
[08:04] ---
    ♪ 58 of the 1000 provisions
    I want you to observe:
[08:07] ---
    Do not talk to me while
    I am humming to myself.
[08:10] ---
    This is a very important provision.
    Understand?
[08:12] ---
    Umm, I can't help but feel your
    flashbacks and demands don't match...
[08:17] ---
    Fool!
[08:18] ---
    Humming and news programs
    share a tightly-knit connection!
[08:22] ---
    But your memories from
    when you were a street punk...
[08:25] ---
    In short, it's a glass
    ensemble that cannot be planned
[08:27] ---
    using things like common
    sense or probabilities!
[08:29] ---
    Perhaps it should be called fate!
[08:31] ---
    Nay, this may have been
    an inevitable result
[08:34] ---
    produced by chemical changes,
    refinement, and thermoforming!
[08:38] ---
    Am I being ignored?
[08:39] ---
    Thus, I found myself
    carrying the fate of the troupe
[08:42] ---
    as I presented my dance before
    a capacity crowd at an opera house!
[08:46] ---
    What, now?
[10:23] ---
    Whew! I'm stuffed!
[10:26] ---
    This is kind of nice, actually!
[10:29] ---
    Everyone getting together
    for no particular reason...
[10:33] ---
    It feels kind of peaceful!
[10:35] ---
    I can't stand out if it's always peaceful!
[10:38] ---
    If I'm gonna stand out,
    then it's up to me to...!
[10:41] ---
    Hey, Tsubaki.
[10:43] ---
    Yes?
[10:44] ---
    Have you already finished your
    report we got assigned last week?
[10:47] ---
    You still haven't finished it, Liz?
    Isn't it due tomorrow?
[10:52] ---
    Yeah. But it's that kind of report, so...
[10:57] ---
    That report, huh?
[10:59] ---
    Do you think you could help me out?
[11:02] ---
    Fool!
[11:04] ---
    But I didn't say anything...
[11:18] ---
    Uhh, Mr. Excalibur?
[11:24] ---
    Mr. Excalibur?
[11:27] ---
    Hello?
[11:29] ---
    Fool!
[11:30] ---
    One needs time to think!
[11:32] ---
    Rushing forward without
    considering things beforehand
[11:35] ---
    is the pinnacle of foolishness!
[11:36] ---
    Yes! My well-honed grey
    matter required time to think
[11:41] ---
    during that case, too!
[11:46] ---
    It took place during the time in
    which I still called Baker Street home.
[11:51] ---
    Holmes. Have you figured anything out?
[11:54] ---
    Of course I have, Watson.
[11:56] ---
    It appears that the perpetrator's depravity
[11:59] ---
    prevented us from seeing
    through the elementary trick used here.
[12:02] ---
    Elementary?! But this room was locked!
[12:06] ---
    Fool!
[12:08] ---
    Precisely, Excalibur. That
    line suits this situation perfectly.
[12:12] ---
    Huh?!
[12:13] ---
    Now, tell us, Excalibur.
[12:16] ---
    Use your logic to solve this locked
    room trick and point out the killer.
[12:23] ---
    It's quite basic, really. You could
    even call it the simplest of tricks.
[12:26] ---
    No, it might not be basic from
    the viewpoint of an ordinary person.
[12:30] ---
    Some may even feel it's a
    complicated, perplexing problem.
[12:35] ---
    However, that is only because
    things appear difficult on the outside,
[12:38] ---
    while, in truth, it's
    actually quite simple.
[12:40] ---
    No, that might not be the case,
    depending on the person,
[12:43] ---
    for the difference between simple
    and complicated is a very delicate...
[12:48] ---
    Okay, we understand, Excalibur.
    If you could just solve the case...
[12:51] ---
    Fool! I know that full well!
[12:54] ---
    Yes, yes! Precisely!
[12:56] ---
    Okay, okay. Could you
    just explain the trick now?
[12:59] ---
    The trick is so elementary that
    there's no need for an explanation!
[13:02] ---
    Huh?!
[13:04] ---
    And the killer is... is...
[13:11] ---
    You.
[13:11] ---
    Huh?!
[13:14] ---
    Huh?!
[13:17] ---
    Thus, the case was solved!
[13:20] ---
    Are you sure Watson was really the killer?
[13:23] ---
    In short, this fact leads to
[13:25] ---
    ♪ 278 of the 1000 provisions
    I want you to observe:
[13:28] ---
    You must never use carrots in my meals.
[13:32] ---
    Oh, I don't like carrots eith...
[13:34] ---
    Silence!
[13:36] ---
    That is ♪349 of the 1000
    provisions I want you to observe:
[13:38] ---
    "Wasting food is bad."
[13:40] ---
    Meisters must eat everything,
    regardless of personal likes and dislikes!
[13:43] ---
    You must never speak with
    such selfishness again. Understood?
[13:46] ---
    But doesn't that mean...
[13:48] ---
    Do you know what kind of tragedy
[13:49] ---
    such indiscretion could
    bring you in the future?!
[13:52] ---
    Perhaps this anecdote
    will help you to understand!
[13:55] ---
    Yes, it happened just
    after my legend began,
[13:59] ---
    when I accompanied Meister
    King Arthur on an expedition to Rome!
[14:05] ---
    Facing an army of this number
    will indeed be arduous, Excalibur.
[14:09] ---
    That isn't like you,
    Arthur. You mustn't lose heart.
[14:14] ---
    Excalibur...
[14:16] ---
    The Knights of the Round Table
    never give up. No matter what.
[14:22] ---
    You swore an oath.
[14:23] ---
    Yes, you're right. I had
    forgotten. We have comrades.
[14:28] ---
    And for those comrades' sake...
[14:30] ---
    Yes! Let's go, Excalibur!
    Lend me your strength!
[14:35] ---
    But of course!
[14:51] ---
    Thus, my journey with Arthur continued.
[14:55] ---
    Umm, your personality has changed...
[14:57] ---
    In short, that is what led to
[14:59] ---
    ♪ 679 of the 1000 provisions
    I want you to observe:
[15:02] ---
    always place a dehumidifier in your room!
[15:05] ---
    Umm, by the way, when did
    your current personality begin?
[15:10] ---
    From these things,
    it should be clear to you by now
[15:13] ---
    that I was once a hard-boiled kind of guy!
[15:16] ---
    "Please take good care of things."
[15:16] ---
    No, forget I asked...
[15:20] ---
    Everyone! Drinks are on
    me today! Drink all you want!
[15:25] ---
    Excalibur!
[15:33] ---
    Hey, Excalibur...
[15:36] ---
    You're an incredible man...
[15:47] ---
    "Smoking in bed is bad."
[15:47] ---
    I was all dried up.
[15:50] ---
    Yes. Nothing satisfied me anymore.
[15:58] ---
    An unspeakable frustration and
    an unfillable sense
[16:02] ---
    of emptiness grew inside my heart.
[16:09] ---
    It felt like the gaping hole in my
    heart was growing larger by the day.
[16:25] ---
    At least, until that day came.
[16:35] ---
    Excalibur. I'm so happy.
[16:40] ---
    Excalibur! Hurry over here!
[16:45] ---
    Listen, Excalibur...
[16:49] ---
    I love you!
[17:01] ---
    If only every day could be like this...
[17:04] ---
    Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere.
[17:08] ---
    You don't understand...
[17:11] ---
    The day will come when your
    kindness will weigh me down...
[17:17] ---
    Hey, now. What's the matter, Cathy?
[17:20] ---
    Excalibur. Remember this, above all else:
[17:24] ---
    I will always love you.
[17:28] ---
    No matter what happens.
[17:30] ---
    I know that...
[17:35] ---
    However, just as she said, their
    happy lives together did not last long.
[17:43] ---
    Thus!
[17:44] ---
    It ends there?!
[17:45] ---
    An end was brought to the
    fighting between the rival gangs!
[17:49] ---
    I wanna know what happened afterward!
[17:51] ---
    In short, this is deeply connected to
[17:53] ---
    ♪ 778 of the 1000 provisions
    I want you to observe:
[17:55] ---
    never mail out packages cash-on-delivery!
[18:01] ---
    I wonder what happened afterward...
[18:04] ---
    What did you just say, lad?
[18:06] ---
    I-I said I want to know
    what happened afterward...
[18:10] ---
    Hmm. Afterward, huh?
[18:11] ---
    Then I shall sing you a song as
    a gesture of respect for your words.
[18:17] ---
    Uhh, why would that make you sing?
[18:20] ---
    Fool!
[18:20] ---
    As someone who's unaware of the vital role
[18:23] ---
    that singing has played in
    the cultural history of mankind,
[18:26] ---
    you are in no position to deny it!
[18:28] ---
    What's more, the fact that you
    have no right to deny my singing
[18:32] ---
    is an important factor
    that must not be forgotten!
[18:36] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[18:38] ---
    Then I shall begin! Here we go!

[20:57] ---
    Yeah, I did it.

    "My Report about Excalibur"
[20:59] ---
    What?! That's pretty thin for a report!
[21:02] ---

[23:22] ---
    You're obnoxious!
[23:23] ---
    Hey, Ox. I've been
    meaning to ask for a while...

[23:25] ---
    Oh? Are you referring to my hair?
[23:28] ---
    No, not that...
[23:29] ---
    These custom-made glasses, then?
[23:31] ---
    No, nothing like that.
[23:32] ---
    What, then?!
[23:33] ---
    Do you wear briefs or boxers?
[23:35] ---
    You're obnoxious!
