[00:03] (Flashback) Yuuma
    Where's Mother?
[00:05] (Flashback) Woman
    She is within the prison barrier.
[00:08] (Flashback) Yuuma
    Prison barrier? What's that?
[00:11] (Flashback) Woman
    A prison in a demon
    district in the far east.
[00:15] (Flashback) Woman
    A place of eternal exile sealed within
    a realm separate from our own...
[00:20] (Flashback) Woman
    Aya-sama created you as a
    trump card to help her
[00:25] (Flashback) ---
    escape from that prison.
[00:28] (Flashback) Woman
    You are the Blue Witch,
    protected by the Blue Knight.
[00:36] Yuuma
    But
[00:37] ---
    what will happen to me once
    I fulfill that purpose?
[00:43] Yuuma
    Do I have a reason to live,
[00:46] Yuuma
    other than the program assigned to me?
[02:24] YuuJou
    I cut my hair that day
[02:26] YuuJou
    because I wanted to be like you...
[02:29] YuuJou
    I never thought I would actually become you.
[02:32] KoMa
    Yuuma! Give me back my body!
[02:36] YuuJou
    I will, very soon.
[02:38] YuuJou
    But could you wait just a bit longer?
[02:41] YuuJou
    I think I'll find it soon...
[02:44] KoMa
    Look, Yuuma...
[02:45] Vatler
    Hey, Kojou.
[02:47] Vatler
    You're looking rather adorable these days.
[02:50] KoMa
    Vatler! Why are you here?!
[02:54] Vatler
    I'm waiting for the prison
    barrier to be opened.
[02:59] KoMa
    Prison... barrier?
[03:02] Yukina
    She borrowed your body because she
[03:05] ---
    needed immense magical
    power to break the barrier!
[03:09] Vatler
    Isn't it exciting?
[03:11] Vatler
    Vicious magic criminals who have
    been sealed away in another realm
[03:15] Vatler
    will all be set free at once.
[03:16] KoMa
    What?!
[03:18] Vatler
    But relax, Kojou.
[03:21] Vatler
    I'll take responsibility and
    eliminate them, of course.
[03:26] KoMa
    Idiot! You expect me to relax?!
[03:29] Yukina
    Senpai!
[03:31] KoMa
    Himeragi!
[03:35] Red
    Have a look, Onee-sama.
[03:38] Red
    She would make such a lovely corpse.
[03:41] Black
    You're right, Octavia.
[03:44] Black
    Let's rip off her arms and legs.
[03:53] KoMa
    La Folia!
[03:54] Yukina
    Sayaka-san!
[03:56] Sayaka
    We came to help you, Akatsuki Kojou.
[03:59] Sayaka
    You really are a handful, you know.
[04:01] Sayaka
    Without me around, you cause
    nothing but trouble for Yukina...
[04:06] Sayaka
    Um... who are you?
[04:09] Yukina
    Uh... that girl is
    Akatsuki-senpai right now.
[04:13] Yukina
    Some things happened, and he's a girl now.
[04:17] Sayaka
    Wh—
[04:18] Sayaka
    What the hell?!
[04:20] KoMa
    Yeah, that about covers it.
[04:22] Folia
    This is quite a problem, Sayaka.
[04:25] Folia
    I can't produce an heir with him like this.
[04:27] Sayaka
    How can you say that so casually?!
[04:37] Yaze
    They got us.
[04:46] KoMa
    That's the prison barrier?
[04:48] Kensei
    It hasn't fully materialized yet.
[04:52] KoMa
    Kanase Kensei?!
[04:53] Folia
    I requested his temporary release.
[04:57] Folia
    Under the present circumstances,
    he is essential.
[05:00] Sayaka
    It was his magic that
    allowed us to warp here.
[05:05] KoMa
    So the seal on the barrier hasn't been broken?
[05:07] Kensei
    No, at the moment,
[05:10] Kensei
    this might be likened to viewing ruins
[05:11] ---
    on the sea floor from above the surface.
[05:14] Kensei
    A greater power is needed to
    bring it above the waters.
[05:18] Red
    Oh, no! Number 539 is...
[05:21] YuuJou
    I have no further need for this.
[05:24] YuuJou
    Sorry, but I'll be going in.
[05:26] KoMa
    Yuuma...
[05:27] KoMa
    Wait!
[05:28] KoMa
    Damn!
[05:30] Folia
    Kensei, can we follow her?
[05:32] Kensei
    Unfortunately, no.
[05:33] Kensei
    However, it is possible to open
    a gate near the prison barrier.
[05:38] Folia
    Do it, then. Kojou!
[05:40] Folia
    You and Yukina should go.
[05:43] Folia
    We'll take care of the witches.
[05:45] Red
    Take care of us, you say?
[05:51] Folia
    Against a witch who's obtained the
    Fourth Progenitor's magical power,
[05:54] Folia
    only Yukina's spear
[05:56] Folia
    and you, Kojou, the real Fourth
    Progenitor, stand a chance.
[06:01] KoMa
    Got it. Thanks.
[06:06] KoMa
    Let's go, Himeragi!
[06:07] Yukina
    Yes!
[06:10] Yukina
    We're going, Sayaka.
[06:12] Sayaka
    Okay!
[06:19] YuuJou
    Le Bleu...
[06:23] KoMa
    Yuuma!
[06:26] YuuJou
    Here already?
[06:27] YuuJou
    You're fortunate to have
    such good friends, Kojou.
[06:30] KoMa
    Don't talk like you have
    nothing to do with that!
[06:33] KoMa
    You're one of my friends, aren't you?!
[06:36] YuuJou
    I'm glad to hear that.
[06:38] YuuJou
    You still think of me as a friend?
[06:41] KoMa
    I'm used to seeing witches.
[06:43] KoMa
    That makes no difference to me!
[06:45] YuuJou
    Even if I'm a tool born for
    the sole purpose of breaking
[06:50] ---
    the prison barrier?
[06:52] KoMa
    What?
[06:54] YuuJou
    I was a test tube baby forced
    to grow at an accelerated rate.
[06:58] YuuJou
    Becoming a witch and breaking
    the prison barrier
[07:02] YuuJou
    were both programmed into me by my mother.
[07:06] KoMa
    Was meeting me part of
    your mother's plan, too?
[07:11] YuuJou
    No, Kojou.
[07:13] YuuJou
    That alone was my choice.
[07:16] YuuJou
    There is nothing that I can call my own,
[07:19] YuuJou
    except the fact that I met you.
[07:22] YuuJou
    Didn't I tell you?
[07:23] YuuJou
    You're all I have.
[07:27] YuuJou
    In truth, the original plan was to sacrifice
[07:30] YuuJou
    100,000 citizens of Itogami Island to
    break the seal on the prison barrier.
[07:35] YuuJou
    But when they found out you had acquired
    the powers of the Fourth Progenitor,
[07:40] YuuJou
    the Library changed the plan.
[07:42] YuuJou
    Thanks to you, no one has to die.
[07:46] YuuJou
    Thank you, Kojou.
[07:56] KoMa
    That's...
[07:59] KoMa
    Regulus Aurum!
[08:00] Yukina
    It can't be!
[08:02] YuuJou
    I haven't stolen your authority over it.
[08:05] YuuJou
    I've only distorted
[08:06] ---
    space-time to call forth a Familiar
    that you used in the past.
[08:10] YuuJou
    Only for this one moment.
[08:20] KoMa
    Yuuma!
[08:22] YuuJou
    Even Le Bleu couldn't control it?
[08:25] YuuJou
    But it looks like the
    sacrifice was worth it.
[08:52] YuuJou
    So even if the barrier is lost,
[08:55] YuuJou
    the prison won't be set free?
[09:05] YuuJou
    Still...
[09:07] YuuJou
    This is where you were, after all...
[09:11] KoMa
    No way... Why are you...
[09:16] YuuJou
    It's an honor to meet you,
[09:18] YuuJou
    key to the prison barrier...
[09:22] YuuJou
    Witch of the Void.
[09:32] Sayaka
    Damn it! They won't go down!
[09:42] Folia
    This will never end at this rate.
[09:45] Folia
    With the defensive magic they're using,
    we can't take them all out at once.
[09:50] Red
    Have a look at this, Onee-sama!
[09:52] Black
    It seems they were all talk.
[09:56] Black
    Now, shall we make sacrifices out of them?
[10:00] Red
    Yes, Onee-sama.
[10:02] Red
    We'll drive the branches of our
    guardian up from that exquisite hole,
[10:06] Red
    tear them apart, mix their organs together,
[10:09] Red
    and turn them into a lovely wad of meat!
[10:16] YuuJou
    The witch of the void, Minamiya Natsuki,
[10:19] YuuJou
    is the jailer, the door, and the key
[10:23] ---
    to the prison barrier.
[10:25] KoMa
    Natsuki-chan?
[10:27] YuuJou
    "Prison barrier" itself is the name of
[10:29] ---
    the magical technique used
    to seal magic criminals.
[10:34] YuuJou
    She is the only one who can use it.
[10:37] YuuJou
    She has been here all this time,
[10:40] YuuJou
    sleeping in here alone for ten years.
[10:44] KoMa
    That can't be right!
[10:46] KoMa
    Natsuki-chan has been working
    as a teacher at our school!
[10:49] YuuJou
    The Minamiya Natsuki you know is an
    illusion produced by her own magic...
[10:55] YuuJou
    A mere dream of a sad little girl.
[11:01] YuuJou
    If she is killed, those held within
    the prison barrier will be set free.
[11:06] YuuJou
    Including the mother I've never met...
[11:10] KoMa
    Once you free her, what then?
[11:13] KoMa
    If that's the only reason you were born,
[11:15] KoMa
    what happens when you complete your mission?
[11:19] YuuJou
    Kojou...
[11:22] Kojou
    Will your mother praise you?
    You know she won't!
[11:26] Kojou
    She'll discard you like that book you
    were using, and that'll be it, Yuuma!
[11:30] Yuuma
    I know that.
[11:33] Yuuma
    I know better than anyone that there's
    no meaning in what I'm doing.
[11:37] Kojou
    Then...
[11:38] Yuuma
    But I can't defy what's
    been programmed into me!
[11:42] Yuuma
    If I acknowledge that it's meaningless,
[11:45] Yuuma
    then the fact that I was
    born into this world...
[11:48] Yuuma
    Everything about me will be meaningless!
[11:50] Kojou
    You're wrong! You said it yourself!
[11:52] Kojou
    You've got me!
[11:55] Kojou
    I acknowledge the meaning in your existence!
[11:58] Kojou
    So you don't have to follow
    some stupid program!
[12:05] Yuuma
    You've always been the kind of guy
[12:07] ---
    who could say things like
    that so easily, Kojou.
[12:11] Yuuma
    Thank you.
[12:13] Yuuma
    That's enough for me.
[12:18] KoMa
    Yuuma!
[12:39] Folia
    Branches of their guardian...
[12:41] Folia
    That means it's not a mollusk,
[12:44] Folia
    but a plant...
[12:47] Folia
    Sayaka.
[12:48] Folia
    The Meyer Sisters once caused an incident
[12:51] Folia
    in which a huge forest was
    destroyed overnight, correct?
[12:55] Sayaka
    The Ashdown Tragedy?
[12:58] Folia
    If we assume
[13:00] Folia
    this guardian is a demon monster created
    from all the trees in that forest,
[13:08] Folia
    then its overwhelming mass makes sense.
[13:11] Sayaka
    You're saying...
[13:14] Sayaka
    No matter how many we
    cut down, it's useless.
[13:19] Red
    Looks like the little girls
    have given up, Onee-sama.
[13:23] Black
    How foolish.
[13:27] Folia
    Laughing too much will
    make your wrinkles show,
[13:30] Folia
    old ladies.
[13:31] ---
    Wha—
[13:32] Folia
    That was a far less interesting
    setup than I thought.
[13:35] Sayaka
    Yes. Knowing their true nature
    gives us innumerable options.
[13:39] Black
    What?!
[13:41] Folia
    Now then, I'll launch the first attack.
[13:44] Sayaka
    And I'll finish them off.
[13:48] Folia
    Daughter of the gods,
    that is within me...
[13:52] Folia
    Destroyer of the shield, hail and storm,
[13:55] Folia
    bringer of victory and
    deliverer of death!
[14:01] Red
    The light of the spirit's divine protection?
[14:04] Red
    It can't be... the false holy sword?!
[14:10] Sayaka
    I, War Dancer of the High God, as a dancer
    of the Lion, beseech thee...
[14:14] Sayaka
    Enku of the Aurora,
    Qilin of radiant light,
[14:17] Sayaka
    thou who doth rule thunder
    and the heavens,
[14:19] Sayaka
    come clad in raging fire
[14:22] Sayaka
    to pierce Hell's monstrous demons!
[14:31] Black
    What is going on?!
[14:33] Black
    They're placing a horrid
    curse on our forest!
[14:36] Red
    Our forest...
[14:37] Red
    Our Ashdown guardian is...
[14:49] Yukina
    I am the Fourth Progenitor's observer,
    sent by the Lion King Organization.
[14:53] Yukina
    I'll be taking back Akatsuki-senpai's body.
[14:57] YuuJou
    Is that spear a Schneewalzer?
[15:00] YuuJou
    If you attacked my real body with that,
[15:03] YuuJou
    you could easily finish this, but you won't.
[15:06] YuuJou
    Because you've been deceived by Kojou, too?
[15:08] Yukina
    N-No!
[15:10] Yukina
    I just determined that this is the best
    course of action under the circumstances!
[15:15] Yukina
    Plus...
[15:23] Yukina
    There's not that great a
    difference in difficulty.
[15:27] YuuJou
    You're definitely a Sword Shaman
    of the Lion King Organization.
[15:30] YuuJou
    But...
[15:34] YuuJou
    There's no need to put up a
    naïvely honest fight with you.
[15:54] Yukina
    Senpai!
[15:57] KoMa
    Sorry, Yuuma.
[15:59] KoMa
    I clearly remember the face you make
    when you try for a three-point shot.
[16:06] YuuJou
    Kojou...
[16:08] KoMa
    Yuuma?
[16:12] KoMa
    What's going on?
[16:13] Yukina
    Yuuma-san's body is reaching its limit!
[16:17] Yukina
    Yuuma-san! Stop this now!
[16:20] YuuJou
    It doesn't matter.
[16:21] YuuJou
    My mission is nearly complete.
[16:25] YuuJou
    I'll finally be free!
[16:29] Yukina
    Then... you leave me no choice.
[16:33] Yukina
    I, Sword Shaman of the High God, as a
    priestess of the Lion, beseech thee...
[16:37] Yukina
    Dawn light of exorcism,
    spirit wolf of snowy mist,
[16:40] Yukina
    grant me the divine might of thy steel,
[16:42] Yukina
    that I may smite a
    hundred evil spirits!
[16:55] KoMa
    Himeragi!
[16:58] YuuJou
    You are a kind girl.
[17:01] YuuJou
    That's a demon-slaying spear that
    can kill even a Progenitor.
[17:04] YuuJou
    You don't know if Kojou can
    come back to life after that.
[17:08] YuuJou
    That's why you couldn't pierce his body.
[17:15] YuuJou
    It'll be the same, no matter
    how many times you try.
[17:17] YuuJou
    You realize that, don't you?
[17:25] KoMa
    Yuuma, I'm going to defeat you
    and return to my own body.
[17:32] KoMa
    In this body, I can't drink
    Himeragi's blood like I always do.
[17:38] Kojou
    Let's go, Yuuma.
[17:40] Kojou
    From this point on,
[17:42] Kojou
    this is my fight!
[17:49] KoMa
    Didn't I tell you that I know you?!
[17:53] YuuJou
    Le Bleu!
[17:57] KoMa
    It didn't work?!
[17:57] Yukina
    No, Senpai.
[18:01] Yukina
    We've won!
[18:26] Kojou
    Ow...
[18:31] Yukina
    Welcome back, Senpai.
[18:35] Red
    How vexing...
[18:37] Black
    The two of us, defeated by such fools...
[18:43] Folia
    Yes. See you at the airport.
[18:45] Folia
    I was able to contact the knights.
[18:48] Folia
    I'll leave this country in about 15 minutes.
[18:51] Sayaka
    What? So suddenly?
[18:53] Folia
    Once I leave,
[18:55] Folia
    as my guard, you'll be free.
[18:58] Folia
    You can enjoy the festival,
    or go help a certain someone.
[19:05] Sayaka
    I appreciate it, Princess.
[19:09] Kojou
    You missed my heart?
[19:12] Yukin
    Yes. This won't be a fatal
    wound for a vampire.
[19:17] Kojou
    But it hurts so much, I wanna die...
[19:20] Yukina
    I know, I know.
[19:21] Yukina
    Just put up with it for now.
[19:24] Kojou
    Um, listen, Himeragi-san...
[19:27] Kojou
    Your blood...
[19:28] Yukina
    I'm not giving you any!
[19:31] Yukina
    And did you have to say something that
    sounded like you drink it all the time?
[19:34] Kojou
    I just meant, I can recover
    if I have your blood,
[19:39] Kojou
    so you could stab me to
    your heart's content.
[19:42] Yukina
    Regardless, please don't say things
[19:44] ---
    like that around other people ever again!
[19:47] Yukina
    Not to Yuuma-san or anyone else!
[19:49] Kojou
    Oh, right! Where's Yuuma?
[19:53] Kojou
    Yuuma!
[19:55] Kojou
    Yuuma, are you okay?
[19:58] Yuuma
    I... failed?
[20:03] Kojou
    No. You've been released.
[20:08] Yuuma
    Released?
[20:10] Kojou
    Yeah.
[20:13] Yuuma
    Oh...
[20:17] Yuuma
    I'm... free...
[20:21] Natsuki
    Case closed, I see.
[20:23] Kojou
    Natsuki-chan! You're awake?
[20:26] Natsuki
    I was preserving my strength,
[20:29] Natsuki
    but I took a direct hit from your Familiar.
[20:32] Natsuki
    Even I couldn't get through that unscathed.
[20:34] Kojou
    But that wasn't m—
[20:36] Kojou
    Ow! That hurt!
[20:40] Natsuki
    What are you going to do,
    daughter of Tokoyogi Aya?
[20:43] Natsuki
    You wish to continue?
[20:45] Yuuma
    No, I'll stop.
[20:47] Yuuma
    I have
[20:49] Yuuma
    no reason to do anything with
    the prison barrier anymore.
[22:31] Kojou
    Well, ready to go back?
[22:33] Yuuma
    Yeah. You have to show
    me around the festiva—
[22:37] Kojou
    Yuuma!
[22:39] Yuuma
    Mother...
[22:41] Yuuma
    You would go this far?
[22:44] Bleu
    I have waited for this moment...
[22:47] Blue
    For you, such an alert girl,
[22:49] Blue
    to let your guard down.
[22:54] Natsuki
    Using your own daughter as a decoy...
[22:58] Natsuki
    You... brute...
[23:02] Kojou
    Natsuki-chan...
[23:05] Natsuki
    Idiot...
[23:07] Natsuki
    Don't address your teacher... with "chan"...
[23:10] Kojou
    Natsuki-chan!
SIGN    Next Time
[23:26] Yuuma
    Y-You're Senpai's mother?
[23:28] Yukina
    Pleased to meet you.
[23:29] Yukina
    What? A psychometrician whose powers are
    activated by fondling breasts?!
[23:32] Yukina
    Like mother, like son, indeed...
SIGN    Fiesta for the Observers I
[23:36] Yukina
    "Fiesta for the Observers I."
