*A sound "soul"*
**[00:16] ---**
*dwells within a sound mind*
**[00:18] ---**
*and a sound body.*
**[00:24] ---**
*After the battle for the Brew,
each camp began taking new action.*
**[00:31] ---**
*With the DWMA students
distraught from their defeat,*
**[00:37] ---**
*I began an independent investigation
to uncover DWMA's true objective.*
**[00:46] ---**
*However, that only succeeded in
generating further doubts about DWMA.*
**[00:59] ---**
I've arrived.
**[01:01] ---**
As of today, this is my workplace.
**[01:21] ---**
*I'm Falling*

*Down Into My Shadow*

**[02:37] ---**
Thank you for coming,
**[02:41] ---**
DWMA Oceania Branch
Technology Development Advisor,
**[02:45] ---**
Joe Buttataki, nickname "BJ."
**[02:50] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[02:51] ---**
Uhh, no...
**[02:53] ---**
Getting down to business,
**[02:55] ---**
I assume your calling me here
means we're commencing *that* project?
**[03:01] ---**
You're another hasty one.
I haven't even said anything yet.
**[03:06] ---**
Oh, sorry. I couldn't think of
any other reason why you'd call me.
**[03:10] ---**
As you know, Arachnophobia bested
us during the recent battle for the Brew.
**[03:17] ---**
So, feeling it necessary to think
even further ahead, I called for you.
**[03:25] ---**
Does that mean things
aren't looking very good?
**[03:29] ---**
They're looking very bad.
To the point that we can't hide it.
**[03:34] ---**
In short, you're going to
attempt that plan without the Brew?
**[03:38] ---**
We do have several of Eibon's
Magic Tools in our possession.
**[03:45] ---**
I know it might be hard,
**[03:47] ---**
but could you maybe
possibly help us out with that?
**[03:51] ---**
Well, it *was* my suggestion
originally, so I'll give it a shot.
**[03:55] ---**
Oh? You'll do it?!
**[03:57] ---**
But only on one condition.
**[04:00] ---**
What would that be?
**[04:03] ---**
The coffee...
The coffee?
**[04:07] ---**
Switch all of DWMA's
coffee from instant to beans!
**[04:11] ---**
In particular, I'd like it
all switched to Mandheling!
**[04:13] ---**
Obviously, it should be
roasted in far-infrared ovens
**[04:16] ---**
and the beans should be
purchased from Uncle Bob's shop!
**[04:20] ---**
This, I absolutely insist upon!
**[04:22] ---**
I will buy a set of coffee mills
like the one I've brought!
**[04:26] ---**
I suppose we'll have to
settle for paper drips,
**[04:28] ---**
but I'd prefer them to be conical in shape!
**[04:40] ---**
Mandolin?
Mandheling.
**[04:46] ---**
*"Temptation to Pandemonium...
The Big Man's Uncontainable Irritation?"*
**[04:57] ---**
What's the deal? First Kid
vanishes and now Black☆Star?
**[05:02] ---**
What the heck's going on?
**[05:04] ---**
Even Tsubaki is gone...
Do you think something happened?
**[05:09] ---**
Beats me.
**[05:12] ---**
Come to think of it, Black☆Star
has been in a bad mood recently.
**[05:25] ---**
*Why do I lose?!*
**[05:28] ---**
*I'm going to transcend God!*
**[05:31] ---**
*Yet... why?!*
**[05:39] ---**
Why do you seek power so intently?
**[05:54] ---**
Where could Black☆Star have gone?
**[05:58] ---**
Tsubaki.
**[06:01] ---**
Ms. Naigus...
**[06:03] ---**
Do you have a moment?
**[06:14] ---**
What business does a member of
Technology Development have here?
**[06:19] ---**
You have quick ears. I haven't
even been here for very long...
**[06:26] ---**
May I ask you your name?
**[06:29] ---**
Death the Kid. I'm Death's son.
**[06:33] ---**
Oh, so *you're* his son!
**[06:36] ---**
Why are you here? What is my
father scheming? Surely you know.
**[06:43] ---**
Construction work.
**[06:46] ---**
DWMA's drainage system
has grown old, so I was called in.
**[06:51] ---**
An obvious lie.
**[06:53] ---**
He wouldn't call you all the way
from the Oceania branch for that!
**[06:56] ---**
Oh, I also need to install a new boiler
in the hot water supply room ahead!
**[07:02] ---**
That's the job of an engineer! Yes!
**[07:06] ---**
There aren't any hot water
supply rooms up ahead.
**[07:09] ---**
DWMA has been focusing on retrieving
Magic Tools these past few months.
**[07:15] ---**
And then a Technology Development
advisor is suddenly brought on board...
**[07:20] ---**
It's only natural to think
there's some correlation.
**[07:26] ---**
It'd sure be nice if there were
Magic Tool pipes that never corroded.
**[07:32] ---**
Wait! I'm not through talking to you!
**[07:36] ---**
Here's a tip for you.
**[07:39] ---**
You overrate me too much.
**[07:44] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[07:46] ---**
How's Uncle Bob doing?
**[07:48] ---**
Uncle Bob?
**[07:49] ---**
The old man with the
coffee shop outside of town.
**[07:52] ---**
Uncle Bob's Rumba Coffee! Dancingly
delicious! Let's dance together!
**[07:52] ---**
Dancingly delicious! Uncle Bob's Rumba Coffee!
**[07:59] ---**
I don't know this person.
**[08:03] ---**
Oh, you don't? That's too bad.
**[08:08] ---**
Hey!
**[08:28] ---**
Now, then...
**[08:41] ---**
I'll have to start by
doing something with these...
**[08:55] ---**
You're finished.
**[08:57] ---**
That's not for you to decide!
**[09:01] ---**
What?!
**[09:02] ---**
Black☆Star.
**[09:05] ---**
You don't understand the Enchanted Sword.
**[09:09] ---**
Which is why you'll never
be able to master it.
**[09:14] ---**
Shut up! I'm the one who'll decide that!
**[09:18] ---**
No, you won't.
**[09:22] ---**
It's over for you, Black☆Star.
**[09:25] ---**
You lose!
**[09:36] ---**
I finally found you.
**[09:39] ---**
Tsubaki...
**[09:41] ---**
So this is where you were.
**[09:46] ---**
What were you up to?
**[09:48] ---**
Thinking up ways to transcend God.
**[09:51] ---**
I thought so!
**[09:53] ---**
Shouldn't you be in class?
**[09:57] ---**
I skipped class to look for you!
**[10:02] ---**
Oh, right.
**[10:06] ---**
Ms. Naigus told me earlier not
to go into Enchanted Sword Mode.
**[10:10] ---**
What?
**[10:11] ---**
She says it's too heavy
of a burden on your body.
**[10:15] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[10:17] ---**
I *will* use the Enchanted Sword.
It's an essential strength to me.
**[10:22] ---**
Yes. I know.
**[10:27] ---**
You're going to transcend God, after all.
**[10:35] ---**
God, huh...
**[10:54] ---**
Black☆Star?
**[11:03] ---**
Oh, Kid!
**[11:05] ---**
Where were you?
**[11:07] ---**
Oh, sorry. I had some
things I had to look into.
**[11:11] ---**
Look into?
**[11:12] ---**
That's fine and all, but you
should at least say something first.
**[11:17] ---**
I'll explain the situation later,
but I'm going to need your help now.
**[11:23] ---**
Huh?
**[11:24] ---**
Where were you, Kid?
**[11:27] ---**
Did something happen?
**[11:28] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[11:33] ---**
*I can't rouse Maka or the other
students' suspicions at this stage.*
**[11:38] ---**
*I'll need to investigate
carefully from now on.*
**[11:41] ---**
Oh, Black☆Star.
**[11:44] ---**
You finally showed up.
Do you know what time it is?
**[11:49] ---**
Hey, Kid. Come with me.
**[12:00] ---**
What do you want? Do you
have business with me or something?
**[12:03] ---**
Just watch, Kid.
**[12:06] ---**
Hey!
**[12:12] ---**
Again?!
**[12:18] ---**
Curse you! H-How dare you
destroy DWMA's symmetry!
**[12:21] ---**
You idiot! You'll pay for this!
**[12:24] ---**
Get down here, Kid.
**[12:28] ---**
It's showdown time.
**[12:30] ---**
What?
**[12:39] ---**
I see. Crona did?
**[12:41] ---**
Yes, Crona was acting
strangely and seemed preoccupied.
**[12:46] ---**
Tell me, Eruka. Did Crona ask you anything?
**[12:52] ---**
Yes, as a matter of fact,
he asked about what happened to Stein
**[12:55] ---**
during the battle for the Brew.
**[12:57] ---**
I see.
**[12:59] ---**
It's unusual for that
child to ask such things...
**[13:04] ---**
Yeah, now that you mention it...
**[13:07] ---**
It's a pity.
**[13:11] ---**
I think the end may be
nigh for that child...
**[13:19] ---**
What's going on?
**[13:21] ---**
Why are they...?
**[13:23] ---**
It's what obsessed fighters do.
It's not *that* surprising.
**[13:27] ---**
Still...
**[13:29] ---**
Sheesh.
**[13:32] ---**
This time you're fighting Kid?
**[13:35] ---**
The official witnesses have arrived.
**[13:37] ---**
Hold on, you two! Why do
you have to do this?! Quit it!
**[13:44] ---**
Tsubaki?
**[13:46] ---**
I'm sorry. But Black☆Star is doing
this because he feels it's necessary.
**[13:53] ---**
Do you know how it feels
**[13:56] ---**
to have DWMA's very symmetrical,
protruding horns broken like that?!
**[14:01] ---**
Reaper Combat Art: "Sin" Stance!
**[14:04] ---**
I can't stand quietly by.
**[14:06] ---**
I'll beat you senseless as quickly
as I can and then start repairing it.
**[14:12] ---**
Here I come.
**[14:25] ---**
How long are you going to
keep your hands in your pockets?
**[14:29] ---**
Are you hoping to beat
me without using your hands?
**[14:33] ---**
Maybe.
**[14:37] ---**
*Heavy...!*
**[14:39] ---**
He's fast...
**[14:41] ---**
*I can't block in time!*
**[14:44] ---**
*He's going to hit me with his wavelength!*
**[14:46] ---**
You're finished.
**[14:54] ---**
A dud?
**[14:56] ---**
Black☆Star.
**[14:59] ---**
We fought here in front of the
main entrance the first time we met, too.
**[15:03] ---**
Compared to then, my combat arts
and power have vastly improved.
**[15:09] ---**
But I see you've grown weaker.
**[15:16] ---**
The loss of confidence.
**[15:18] ---**
It's preventing him from
unleashing his soul wavelength.
**[15:22] ---**
Huh? That's all it takes?
**[15:25] ---**
Interesting, isn't it? Even the slightest
thing can change a soul wavelength.
**[15:32] ---**
I've known Black☆Star
since he was an infant.
**[15:37] ---**
He has talent. His soul is strong.
**[15:41] ---**
He works hard.
**[15:43] ---**
Whether it's been against top
students or multiple people at once,
**[15:46] ---**
throughout his life he's
defeated everyone he's come across.
**[15:54] ---**
Yet, he's suffered defeat
after defeat lately.
**[16:01] ---**
Especially his fight with
a samurai named Mifune.
**[16:05] ---**
It ended in a complete defeat.
**[16:11] ---**
Looking back, it's possible
he's been a little crazy ever since.
**[16:15] ---**
He was completely helpless even
when his opponent was holding back.
**[16:19] ---**
The same Black☆Star we know?
**[16:22] ---**
His inability to master the Enchanted Sword
**[16:25] ---**
is probably another cause
for his loss of confidence.
**[16:30] ---**
I don't blame him. Anyone with a
weak soul would've long given it up.
**[16:38] ---**
But that fool can only continue forward.
**[16:43] ---**
Why are you so hasty?
**[16:47] ---**
Hasty? Everyone else is just slow!
**[16:51] ---**
Can't he just wait until he's grown
up instead of pushing himself so hard?
**[16:56] ---**
I was once quite handsome myself.
**[16:59] ---**
Huh?
**[17:01] ---**
Grownups yearn for the past,
while kids long for the future.
**[17:06] ---**
He's living in the now.
**[17:08] ---**
Which is why he needs to
be focused on the right path.
**[17:12] ---**
I don't give a crap what you say.
**[17:15] ---**
What's the point in living
a cowardly, sluggish life?
**[17:19] ---**
This isn't a ball game
without a ball, you dumbass.
**[17:23] ---**
Sid...
**[17:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:25] ---**
Those eyes... That wavelength...
**[17:32] ---**
White☆Star...
**[17:37] ---**
Is he following his father's path?
**[17:41] ---**
Black☆Star!
**[17:42] ---**
Forget about the broken horn now!
Just stop!
**[17:46] ---**
I *can't* stop...
**[17:48] ---**
The moment I stop will be my death!
**[18:27] ---**
What's happened to you, Black☆Star?
**[18:35] ---**
Aren't you supposed to transcend God?
**[18:59] ---**
Umm...
**[19:02] ---**
There's no need to apologize.
**[19:04] ---**
Sometimes that sort of thing
happens when you live to your fullest.
**[19:08] ---**
Still...
**[19:09] ---**
What's important is what happens next.
**[19:12] ---**
I just hope he'll be
able to pull through it okay.
**[19:15] ---**
I'm sure he'll be fine.
**[19:18] ---**
I'm sure Black☆Star
finally understands now.
**[19:27] ---**
Yes. I hope he does.
**[19:32] ---**
What are you doing? It was your idea.
**[19:36] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[19:38] ---**
This is irritating.
**[19:40] ---**
If you don't have anything to
say to him then just leave 'im be.
**[19:44] ---**
We can't just ignore him!
Black☆Star is one of us!
**[19:49] ---**
Then quit standing around
and do it already!
**[19:52] ---**
Hold on!
**[19:53] ---**
I still haven't figured
out what to say... Wait!
**[19:57] ---**
33,456. 33,457. 33,458. 33,459.
**[20:07] ---**
33,460. 33,461. 33,462. 33,463. 33,464.
**[20:20] ---**
33,465. 33,466. 33,467.
**[20:54] ---**
Found you.
**[20:59] ---**
Lady Arachne.
**[21:01] ---**
I apologize for the lengthy wait.
**[21:03] ---**
The Madness Amplifier has
just been completed.
**[21:08] ---**
Well done.
**[21:11] ---**
Everything is set.
**[21:14] ---**
Now it is my turn to take action.
**[21:40] ---**
That damn old man.
**[21:43] ---**
