[00:13] ---
    A sound "soul"
[00:16] ---
    dwells within a sound mind
[00:18] ---
    and a sound body.
[00:41] ---
    How is development of the Moral
    Manipulator Magic Tool progressing?
[00:46] ---
    We just received word from
    Sir Mosquito, the project leader.
[00:50] ---
    The prototype is nearly complete.
[00:55] ---
    Will that geezer really
    be all right all by himself?
[00:58] ---
    He's really shrunk in 800 years' time...
[01:03] ---
    I'm itchin' to go berserk! I'm goin' too!
[01:08] ---
    That will not be necessary.
    I have hired powerful help.
[01:13] ---
    Help?
[01:15] ---
    A living legend. A man also
    referred to as the "Sword God."
[01:21] ---
    Why would such a man agree to help you?
[01:26] ---
    People with weaknesses
    are easy to manipulate.

[03:07] ---
    Hey. This is really embarrassing.
[03:11] ---
    Don't act spoiled; just eat up.
[03:14] ---
    According to the doc, the spell
    should lift in a couple more days.
[03:19] ---
    It can't be helped. You're paralyzed.
[03:22] ---
    Tadah!
[03:24] ---
    A marker?
[03:26] ---
    I have a bad feeling about this...
[03:28] ---
    I'll autograph your face
    so you'll get better sooner!
[03:32] ---
    Huh?! W-W-Wait...!
[03:34] ---
    Stop!
[03:37] ---
    How typical...
[03:39] ---
    I'm gonna slice your
    Achilles tendons into pieces!
[03:43] ---
    Done!
[03:45] ---
    Look! I made the medicine
    shelves symmetrical!
[03:49] ---
    Now you can sleep peacefully
    without it ever bothering you!
[03:52] ---
    No one would be bothered by it...
[03:59] ---
    This place is as lively as ever.
[04:01] ---
    Do you need something, Sid?
[04:03] ---
    Do you have a minute, Naigus?
[04:05] ---
    Understood.
[04:14] ---
    "The Sword God Rises...
    Does It Have a Sweet or Salty Taste?"

[04:22] ---
    A sound soul dwells within
    a sound mind and a sound body.

[04:32] ---
    Should I give up smoking?
[04:44] ---
    You're certainly trying hard...
[04:47] ---
    Losing your sense of fear
    is a foolhardy idea.
[04:51] ---
    Isn't this another of DWMA's teachings?
[04:54] ---
    You don't want to be hated,
    so you become a good person.
[04:58] ---
    You want to be strong, so
    you study hard and seek strength.
[05:03] ---
    Fear is what creates order.
[05:07] ---
    But feelings of fear far
    outnumber actual dangers.
[05:13] ---
    Looking to the future through
    the eyes of fear is very dangerous.
[05:19] ---
    In fact, DWMA has gathered
    too many talented people
[05:22] ---
    and become too powerful, in order
    to maintain the current world order.
[05:28] ---
    You mean the absolute order of God.
[05:32] ---
    And if that order is a contradiction
[05:36] ---
    in which God says to take up the
    halberd while also taking up the shield?
[05:42] ---
    Personally, I would choose
    the halberd and not the shield.
[05:47] ---
    As would you.
[05:50] ---
    Wouldn't you, Stein?
[05:57] ---
    We've received word from
    Death Scythe Azusa.
[06:00] ---
    She's found a research facility belonging
    to Arachne's organization, Arachnophobia.
[06:05] ---
    They're apparently building
    a terrible Magic Tool of some sort.
[06:09] ---
    Our mission is to find out what
    they're developing and for what purpose,
[06:14] ---
    and then destroy it.
[06:16] ---
    Magic Tool?
[06:18] ---
    Are you familiar with Eibon?
[06:20] ---
    One of history's greatest wizards
    and the greatest inventor of all time.
[06:25] ---
    It's unconfirmed, but it's possible
    this Magic Tool uses Eibon's technology.
[06:32] ---
    Location?
[06:33] ---
    Azusa will lead the way. Let's go.
[06:36] ---
    Yeah.
[06:39] ---
    Arachnophobia...
    The guys who did this to Maka...
[06:55] ---
    So, it will be as effective as planned?
[06:59] ---
    For a prototype, it's superb.
[07:02] ---
    With continued research,
[07:04] ---
    it will most definitely be to
    Lady Arachne's satisfaction.
[07:10] ---
    Without morals, there cannot be madness.
[07:13] ---
    And morals are also what gauge madness.
[07:16] ---
    With this Magic Tool,
    the Moral Manipulator,
[07:19] ---
    we can reduce people's sense of morality
[07:21] ---
    and cause them to act madly with
    even just a tiny amount of madness.
[07:25] ---
    This recreation of Eibon's
    aesthetic invention
[07:30] ---
    will surely help achieve
    Lady Arachne's great ambitions.
[07:39] ---
    Being a bodyguard in exchange
    for protecting a little witch...
[07:43] ---
    You don't find that unbearable?
[07:45] ---
    I don't care.
[07:47] ---
    Mifune!
[07:51] ---
    I'll do whatever it takes
    to keep Angela safe.
[08:04] ---
    Wh-What the...?!
[08:12] ---
    Nicely done.
[08:13] ---
    Azusa. We've reached
    Point B. No problems so far.
[08:19] ---
    What are our next orders?
[08:21] ---
    You work fast.
[08:22] ---
    Hold on. I'll draw up a map
    right away. Resonate with me...
[08:28] ---
    Understood!
[08:30] ---
    Clairvoyance!
[08:36] ---
    32 meters to target location...
    Corridor width of 3.2 meters...
[08:43] ---
    There. The map is complete now.
[08:47] ---
    Turn right at the upcoming
    corridor, follow it for 15 meters
[08:50] ---
    and then go up the stairs on your left.
[08:52] ---
    The Magic Tool we're
    after is in the far room there.
[08:56] ---
    Clairvoyance, huh...
[08:58] ---
    I'd expect no less from a Death
    Scythe's special ability. It's reassuring.
[09:02] ---
    I can only see 50 meters from where Mr.
    Sid is because I'm using him as a medium,
[09:08] ---
    but I'm glad to hear you say that.
[09:11] ---
    Resonating souls over radio or phone...
[09:15] ---
    Only you could pull off
    something like that.
[09:18] ---
    Let's get on with the operation.
    Are you ready?
[09:21] ---
    Yeah. Go ahead.
[09:22] ---
    It's faint, but inside the target
    room I'm picking up one witch's soul,
[09:28] ---
    one old monster's soul, and...
    one extremely powerful soul.
[09:34] ---
    I sense them too.
[09:37] ---
    However, our mission is to
    investigate and destroy the Magic Tool.
[09:40] ---
    It'll work out just fine.
[09:42] ---
    Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
[09:45] ---
    That can't be! We've been spotted?!
[09:47] ---
    Hurry! The front entrance!
    Get the bodyguard! Quick!
[09:51] ---
    The front entrance?!
    Hey, Azusa! What's going on?!
[09:54] ---
    I'm on it!
[09:59] ---
    The front entrance is
    straight along this corridor...
[10:08] ---
    What is a DWMA student doing here?!
[10:11] ---
    Keep on comin'!
[10:13] ---
    I'll kick the crap out of all of you!
[10:17] ---
    You're certainly a lively visitor.
[10:23] ---
    Huh? She's...
[10:25] ---
    Ahh! You're...!
[10:32] ---
    You...
[10:37] ---
    Mifune the bodyguard...
    What are you doing here?!
[10:43] ---
    Why?
[10:44] ---
    I've brandished my sword to
    protect children - to protect Angela.
[10:50] ---
    So why does a child like
    you stand in my way again?
[10:55] ---
    What's the matter?
[10:57] ---
    Step this way, Lady Angela.
[11:10] ---
    Interesting!
[11:16] ---
    Now we battle!
[11:24] ---
    Here I come!
[11:26] ---
    Infinite Sword Style...
[11:37] ---
    Even when just stuck in the ground
    each individual one is intimidating...

[11:45] ---
    Oh? He stopped Mifune's straight swing?
[11:53] ---
    You parried the sword
    and promptly countered.
[11:56] ---
    I can tell from each individual
    movement. You've improved.
[12:00] ---
    This is what makes you a child.
[12:02] ---
    Don't be stupid!
[12:05] ---
    I've already beaten you once
    before! Don't be talking all big!
[12:09] ---
    You're the one who's acting big!
[12:11] ---
    Mifune loves kids,
[12:13] ---
    so he can't fight serious
    against kids like you, that's all!
[12:17] ---
    Why would someone like that...?
[12:20] ---
    You're not to hold back. Is that clear?
[12:24] ---
    Even if my opponent is a child,
[12:26] ---
    I cannot afford to lose
    to the same person twice.
[12:31] ---
    So this is the Magic Tool, huh?
[12:34] ---
    It appears to be something
    that manipulates people's morals.
[12:42] ---
    This is...!
[12:46] ---
    I'm taking this back.
[12:49] ---
    Azusa! What's happening
    at the front entrance?!
[12:52] ---
    A DWMA student and the person
    with the powerful soul are fighting.
[12:57] ---
    However, the difference in
    power is obvious and overwhelming!
[13:03] ---
    Tsubaki! Kusarigama Mode!
[13:05] ---
    Right!
[13:08] ---
    Now to hurry and destroy this thing!
[13:11] ---
    I wasn't expecting it,
    but our job's gone smoothly
[13:14] ---
    thanks to the DWMA student causing trouble.
[13:19] ---
    I don't know who you are, but hang on!
[13:23] ---
    I'm gonna use your
    strength to my advantage!
[13:34] ---
    You're not going anywhere!
[13:36] ---
    Three Paths Shot!
[13:39] ---
    Black☆Star!
[13:49] ---
    Smoke Bomb Mode!
[13:53] ---
    A ninja sword, a kusarigama,
    and a smoke bomb...
[13:57] ---
    Could that Magic Weapon be...?
[13:59] ---
    I owe you one, Tsubaki.
    Enchanted Sword Mode!
[14:07] ---
    It appears there's no doubt about it.
[14:09] ---
    The Nakatsukasa clan descends directly
[14:11] ---
    from the Magic Weapons
    Lady Arachne created.
[14:13] ---
    I'd heard they sided with Death.
    So that's one?
[14:18] ---
    Oh?
[14:19] ---
    Here I come!
[14:21] ---
    Such a menacing blade.
[14:24] ---
    Tsubaki!
[14:25] ---
    Right!
[14:29] ---
    Shadow☆Star!
[14:38] ---
    Is this all you have, Enchanted Sword?!
[14:43] ---
    He got through!
[14:44] ---
    Infinite Sword Style...
[14:46] ---
    Plus One Sword!
[14:50] ---
    Two Swords!
[14:52] ---
    Three Swords!
[14:53] ---
    Four Swords! Five Swords! Six Swords!
[14:57] ---
    Seven Swords!
[14:58] ---
    Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven!
[15:02] ---
    Twelve Swords!
[15:05] ---
    Multiplication!
[15:09] ---
    He's hitting the surrounding swords?!
[15:11] ---
    Twenty-four Swords!
[15:15] ---
    He struck him down with all twelve swords!
[15:19] ---
    Black☆Star!
[15:24] ---
    That should be enough.
    His wounds aren't deep.
[15:28] ---
    Tsubaki, was it? Take the boy away at once.
[15:32] ---
    Why is a samurai as great
    as you helping a witch?!
[15:36] ---
    Damn it... You held back again...
[15:40] ---
    Why have you come here?
    Because this is the witch's facility?
[15:44] ---
    Our friend is suffering from a curse
    the witch gave her. This is revenge.
[15:50] ---
    I will avenge Maka!
    No one messes with my friends!
[16:00] ---
    I see. I'm sorry.
[16:03] ---
    There's no need for you to
    apologize. You're a nice person.
[16:07] ---
    You shouldn't lend your
    sword to an organization like this!
[16:11] ---
    It would be wonderful if someone
    with your skills and love for children
[16:15] ---
    became a role model -
    a teacher - for DWMA students...
[16:18] ---
    What?! Me, a teacher?!
[16:21] ---
    Mr. Mifune! Mr. Mifune!
[16:25] ---
    D-Don't be stupid.
[16:27] ---
    Boing! Boing!
[16:30] ---
    It's out of the question.
[16:32] ---
    Witches are the enemy of
    DWMA. I can't take An there.
[16:36] ---
    Who would protect her?
[16:39] ---
    That him, Boss?
[16:41] ---
    Yeah. The new bodyguard.
[16:44] ---
    With Mifune here, this city is mine.
[16:49] ---
    Hey. Are you a samurai?
[16:52] ---
    Is that a Japanese sword? Can I touch it?
[16:56] ---
    Don't bother him, Young Master!
[16:58] ---
    I don't mind.
[16:59] ---
    I'd advise against it.
    Swords are dangerous.
[17:02] ---
    I'll give you some candy instead.
[17:07] ---
    Do you like candy, Mr. Samurai?
[17:09] ---
    I don't eat it.
[17:11] ---
    Then why do you carry it around?
[17:13] ---
    Do you like it?
[17:15] ---
    Yeah.
[17:17] ---
    That's why.
[17:21] ---
    Mifune. There's something
    I'd like you to do as your first job.
[17:27] ---
    Our family's enemy has
    gotten ahold of a witch.
[17:31] ---
    I want you to either steal her or kill her.
[17:41] ---
    You're here to get me too, aren't you?
[17:45] ---
    Everyone's trying to get me.
[17:47] ---
    I'm always surrounded
    by people killing each other.
[17:52] ---
    This child is the witch?
[17:58] ---
    Where did that damn traitor go?!
[18:00] ---
    What a waste! He'd be set
    for life if he'd just kill the witch!
[18:07] ---
    It's okay. Don't worry.
[18:11] ---
    Candy?
[18:13] ---
    Do you like candy? You can have it.
[18:18] ---
    What's the matter, Mifune?!
    Hurry and finish them off!
[18:22] ---
    The fight's over now.
[18:25] ---
    DWMA is our greatest enemy!
    We've no reason to let them leave alive!
[18:31] ---
    If you don't do it, you can forget
    about us protecting Lady Angela.
[18:35] ---
    Boing! Boing!
[18:36] ---
    Angela...
[18:39] ---
    We're not done yet!
    No! Black☆Star!
[18:44] ---
    No, Mr. Mifune!
[18:46] ---
    There is no rest for An in human society.
[18:51] ---
    She absolutely needs
    Arachnophobia's protection.

[18:56] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:03] ---
    Grandpa Mossy!
[19:07] ---
    A sniper attack?! Where is it coming from?!
[19:14] ---
    Sir Mosquito! There are bombs everywhere!
[19:17] ---
    You need to escape before
    you're caught in the explosions!
[19:20] ---
    Blood... I need blood...
[19:28] ---
    This way, Lady Angela.
[19:32] ---
    The first shot missed.
[19:33] ---
    I should've guessed he was
    the student causing trouble.
[19:37] ---
    I'd like Black☆Star to learn that
    there are these ways of fighting, too.
[19:42] ---
    Pinpointing someone five
    kilometers away. Impressive, Azusa.
[19:46] ---
    From ten kilometers away, I can hit a
    target with a 1-millimeter margin of error.
[19:50] ---
    But that samurai instantly determined
    our location and left our field of vision.
[19:56] ---
    He's definitely no ordinary person.
[20:01] ---
    Hold it! Let's finish things!
[20:04] ---
    Don't be hasty. You're strong.
    Continue to move forward, looking ahead.
[20:11] ---
    And understand the other
    being inside of Tsubaki.
[20:16] ---
    Do so and the Enchanted
    Sword will also respond.
[20:20] ---
    I'm not too picky when it comes
    to swords, but you have a good one.
[20:25] ---
    Of course I do!
[20:27] ---
    Give this to your friend
    suffering from a curse.
[20:48] ---
    Okay, I'm gonna go. You gonna be all right?
[20:52] ---
    Yeah. Thanks.
[20:57] ---
    Hey. Can I come in?
[21:00] ---
    Why? Are you going to do something again?
[21:02] ---
    Here.
[21:05] ---
    What is this?
[21:07] ---
    Sweet candy from some
    sweet-hearted samurai.
[21:14] ---
    What was that? That wasn't exactly clever.
[21:18] ---
    Beats me.
[21:21] ---
    I try hard to launch an attack,
    but wind up a get-well errand boy.
[21:26] ---
    Who the hell does he think I am?
[21:29] ---
    Aah...
[21:36] ---
    Wait, he said this candy was
    sweet, but it's kelp-flavored.
[21:45] ---
    This is salty...
