**[00:08] Alice**
    Kirito.
**[00:32] Alice**
    Ama... yori.
**[00:38] Alice**
    Thank you.
**[00:40] Alice**
    Welcome back, Kirito.
**[00:43] Kirito**
    I made you worry for so long.
**[00:47] Kirito**
    Thank you, Alice.
**[00:50] Alice**
    Kirito.
**[00:51] Asuna**
    It will be all right, Alice.
**[00:55] Asuna**
    Let's believe in Kirito.
    We need to hurry to the World's End Altar.
**[01:24] Alice**
    Asuna!
**[01:25] Asuna**
    I'm... all right.
**[01:27] Asuna**
    Let's hurry.
**[01:29] Asuna**
    We don't have much time
    before the altar closes.
**[01:41] Alice**
    *Kirito.*
**[01:43] Alice**
    *There are so many things
    I want to tell and ask you.*
**[01:48] Alice**
    *You have to win.
    Win and come back to me again!*
***SIGN***    The Night-Sky Blade
**[03:38] Kikuoka**
    *According to Higa's calculations,
    no matter how fast we disconnect the STLs,*
**[03:43] Kikuoka**
    *two hundred years will have passed in there.*
**[03:49] Kirito**
    Who are you?
**[03:52] Gabriel**
    One who seeks, steals, and robs.
**[03:56] Kirito**
    What are you seeking?
**[03:58] Gabriel**
    Souls.
**[04:01] Gabriel**
    And who are you? Why are you here?
**[04:05] Gabriel**
    What gives you the right to stand before me?
**[04:08] Kirito**
    Who... am I?
**[04:12] Kirito**
    I'm...
**[04:30] Eugeo**
    *Kirito. You're Kirito the Swordsman.*
**[04:35] Kirito**
    I'm Kirito! Kirito the Swordsman!
**[04:44] Kirito**
    What's your name?
**[04:46] Gabriel**
    Gabriel. My name is Gabriel Miller.
**[05:13] Kirito**
    Let's go, Gabriel!
**[05:22] Kirito**
    Generate All Elements!
**[05:28] Kirito**
    Discharge!
**[06:10] Gabriel**
    I estimate another five minutes
    until they reach the system console.
**[06:15] Gabriel**
    I'll give you three minutes.
**[06:17] Gabriel**
    Be sure to keep me entertained.
**[06:22] Kirito**
    How generous of you.
**[06:26] Kirito**
    Fine. I'll entertain you.
**[06:42] Gabriel**
    I stole this from you.
**[08:19] Kirito**
    *I thought I just had to prolong this battle
    long enough for Asuna and Alice to escape,*
**[08:24] Kirito**
    *but I was being too optimistic.*
**[08:26] Kirito**
    *I'll have to spend
    the next 200 years here if I fail.*
**[08:31] Kirito**
    *No, maybe that was what I was hoping for.*
**[08:36] Kirito**
    *To stay forever in a true alternative world
    that's surpassed even Aincrad.*
**[08:41] Kirito**
    *I never stopped to consider
    the amount of grief, sorrow and tears*
**[08:46] Kirito**
    *that would cause for Alice, Asuna,
    and everyone who saved me.*
**[08:51] Kirito**
    *In the end, I'm the kind of person
    who doesn't truly understand how others feel.*
**[08:57] Eugeo**
    You're wrong, Kirito.
**[09:00] Eugeo**
    If you didn't want to leave this world,
    it wasn't for your own sake.
**[09:06] Eugeo**
    It's because you love the people you met here.
**[09:20] Eugeo**
    But that's not true of your enemy.
**[09:22] Eugeo**
    That man is the one
    who doesn't understand how others feel.
**[09:25] Eugeo**
    He can't understand them.
**[09:26] Eugeo**
    That's why he seeks. And tries to steal.
    And tries to destroy.
**[09:31] Eugeo**
    And that's because...
**[09:34] Eugeo**
    he fears them.
**[09:42] Gabriel**
    It seems he's afraid now.
**[09:45] Gabriel**
    The fear that wells up when someone
    as cocky as him is on the brink of death...
**[09:50] Gabriel**
    I wonder how it tastes.
**[10:09] Gabriel**
    Your emotions, memories,
    heart and soul... everything!
**[10:15] Gabriel**
    I'll devour them all now!
**[10:18] Kirito**
    As if you'd find... the heart or memories there.
**[10:24] Kirito**
    The body... is just a vessel.
**[10:28] Kirito**
    Memories are always...
**[10:31] Gabriel**
    What?
**[10:33] Kirito**
    Release Recollection!
**[10:38] Kirito**
    Release Recollection!
**[11:17] Sinon**
    What's this?
**[11:21] Sinon**
    I see. This night is Kirito's heart!
**[11:25] Sinon**
    Then, please... send my heart to him, too.
**[11:38] Leafa**
    Big Brother.
**[11:40] Leafa**
    *Send the last of my strength
    to Big Brother's sword.*
**[11:52] Iskahn**
    Hey, Sheyta.
**[11:54] Iskahn**
    What do you think it means
    to have power... to be strong?
**[11:59] Sheyta**
    You already know the answer.
**[12:02] Sheyta**
    There's a greater power than anger or hatred.
**[12:28] Lisbeth**
    *Kirito.*
**[12:31] Lisbeth**
    Hey, Silica. I...
**[12:34] Lisbeth**
    ...love Kirito after all!
**[12:37] Silica**
    So do I!
**[12:49] Lisbeth**
    *It'll reach you, right, Kirito?*
**[12:52] Lisbeth**
    *Because our souls are connected!*
**[12:57] Renly**
    What it means to live.
    To live, fight, and connect our lives and hearts.
**[13:04] Renly**
    And that... that's the only proof of strength.
**[13:31] Selka**
    Eugeo, please.
**[13:33] Selka**
    Protect my sister and Kirito.
**[14:41] Alice**
    Kirito!
**[14:43] Alice**
    *It may be an ephemeral soul
    that only lived a brief time as an artificial knight,*
**[14:49] Alice**
    *but these emotions,
    these sensations flooding my heart are real!*
**[15:02] Asuna**
    *Kirito.*
**[15:14] Gabriel**
    Null...
**[15:16] Gabriel**
    Null...
**[15:18] Gabriel**
    Nu... ll...
**[15:24] Gabriel**
    Null!
**[16:15] Shasta**
    Cast away all murderous intent.
**[16:17] Shasta**
    His empty soul cannot be slashed
    by an Incarnation of murder.
**[16:21] Bercouli**
    Have no fear, boy.
**[16:24] Bercouli**
    The weight of the world itself
    rests on your sword.
**[16:28] Administrator**
    Now, show me.
**[16:30] Administrator**
    The strength of willpower
    you inherited from me.
***SIGN***    Kirito, you must believe.
***SIGN***    In the hearts of the many people you love and who love you.
**[16:49] Kirito**
    Starburst... Stream!
**[17:00] Gabriel**
    Null! Null!
**[17:04] Kirito**
    Take this, Gabriel!
**[17:08] Gabriel**
    Null!
**[17:16] Gabriel**
    Null!
**[17:33] Eugeo**
    Come on, now's your chance, Kirito!
**[17:36] Kirito**
    Thank you, Eugeo.
**[17:56] Gabriel**
    It's pointless!
**[17:57] Gabriel**
    I'm going to drink every last drop,
    and devour all of you!
**[18:01] Kirito**
    As if you could!
**[18:02] Kirito**
    Someone who's scared and intimidated
    by the power of the human heart!
**[20:18] Kirito**
    Goodbye, Eugeo.
**[21:03] Kirito**
    Thank goodness.
**[21:05] Kirito**
    They were both able to log out.
**[21:09] Kirito**
    Good luck, Alice.
**[21:16] Kirito**
    Now then, 200 years, huh?
**[21:21] Kirito**
    Asuna, Sinon, Leafa, everyone...
**[21:28] Kirito**
    I'm sorry.
**[21:57] Asuna**
    Kirito.
**[22:00] Kirito**
    Asuna?
**[23:36] Kirito**
    Next time: Beyond Time.
