[00:01] Albert
    Did you already know that Heavensky
    had these underground passages?
[00:06] Suzuno
    In the Grand Hoshin Church,
[00:09] Suzuno
    information gathering is
    part of a missionary's job.
[00:12] Albert
    How much time and manpower would it
    even take to build something like this?
[00:17] Albert
    The scale is crazy for something whose
    only purpose is as an escape route
[00:21] Albert
    for one Emperor-Unifier.
[00:25] Suzuno
    Whatever the case, right now,
    we're lucky this corridor is here.
[00:32] Albert
    What the heck? Is this a dead end?
[00:34] Suzuno
    No.
[00:36] Suzuno
    Look up.
[00:38] Suzuno
    Good Albert, I need a shoulder to lean on.
[00:41] Albert
    H-Hey!
[00:43] Albert
    The shoulder thing wasn't a metaphor?!
[00:46] Suzuno
    Keep standing firm.
[00:56] Albert
    So this is the exit?
[00:57] Suzuno
    Yes. Boost me up first.
[01:05] Albert
    Okay!
[01:13] Albert
    What is this room?
[01:15] Suzuno
    A powder room.
[01:17] Albert
    A pow—this is a toilet?!
[01:19] Suzuno
    I assume it's the emperor's private one.
[01:21] Suzuno
    This is the type of place where
    secret passages are typically built.
[01:27] Suzuno
    There's a celestial force field over there.
[01:31] Albert
    Let's check it out.
[01:37] Suzuno
    Something's wrong.
    There ought to be far more guards.
[01:40] Albert
    Shall we stay out of sight
    and watch for a bit?
[01:43] Suzuno
    No, let's keep going.
[01:48] Albert
    What's this?
[01:49] Suzuno
    Probably the emperor's bedchamber.
[01:54] Albert
    It's not even locked?!
[01:56] Suzuno
    Shh!
[02:02] Suzuno
    Your Majesty, we humbly seek an audience.
[02:06] Suzuno
    Please forgive our rudeness
    in disturbing your bedchamber.
[02:13] Albert
    Wait—there's no celestial force field here.
[02:15] Albert
    That's not the Emperor-Unifier.
[02:17] Suzuno
    What?

[03:59] Emi
    If you're confident in your skill, follow me.
[04:01] Volunteer Army Officer
    Lady Emilia?
[04:03] Emi
    I assume you don't mind
    if I spearhead the attack.
[04:07] Olba
    I'll ask again: Is what you said
    about hiyayakko and ginger bud true?
[04:12] Emi
    Manifest now, my power! So that we may
    vanquish those with evil in their hearts!
SIGN    It's the second coming of the Hero!
SIGN    She's like a saint!
[04:23] Emi
    Some "hero" I am.
[04:25] Olba
    Emilia, if you step out of line...
[04:28] Emi
    Yes, I know.
[04:30] Emi
    I'll fight Alciel at full power.
    That's what you want, right?
[04:36] Emi
    Our target is Demon General Alciel
     in the castle keep!
[04:41] Emi
    Follow me!
[04:43] Emi
    Divine Boots of Light!
[04:50] Suzuno
    If it's not the emperor, then who—
[04:52] Gabriel
    Let me stop you right there.
[04:56] Suzuno
    Gabriel!
[04:58] Gabriel
    Sneaking into the emperor's bedchamber
    is cheeky even for you, isn't it?
[05:08] Albert
    I can't move!
[05:10] Suzuno
    A Gate?
[05:11] Gabriel
    You got pretty close!
[05:14] Gabriel
    But he's a valuable hostage,
    so we took some precautions.
[05:18] Gabriel
    Oh! Have a fun fact as a consolation prize:
[05:22] Gabriel
    This is Emilia's father.
[05:24] Gabriel
    The Emperor-Unifier is someplace else.
[05:36] Albert
    Where are we?
[05:38] Suzuno
    The western continent.
[05:40] Suzuno
    As far as I know, it's the only place
    these flowers grow.
[05:43] Albert
    He blew us that far away?
[05:46] Albert
    It'll take days to get back to Efzahan!
[05:51] Suzuno
    So we're out of options?
[06:15] Alciel (Ashiya)
    How good of you to come, Emilia!
    And with your bedraggled band of soldiers!
[06:22] Alciel
    Emilia the Hero,
[06:24] Alciel
    you come to challenge me despite knowing
    the power of my hiyayakko and ginger bud?
[06:28] Alciel
    How foolish!
[06:31] Emi
    You're the foolish one, Alciel.
[06:34] Emi
    My sword and I don't need any
    ginger bud with our hiyayakko!
SIGN    "Ginger bud"?
SIGN    "Hiyayakko"?
[06:42] Alciel
    I suppose I'll just have to
    force you to see reality.
[06:47] Alciel
    Hero, our last battle ended in a draw.
[06:51] Alciel
    Let us settle that score now, one on one!
[06:54] Emi
    Sounds good to me.
[06:57] Olba
    Wait, Emilia! Don't let him provoke you!
[07:01] Farfarello
    Olba Mayer!
[07:04] Farfarello
    Surely you don't intend to
    interfere with their battle.
[07:08] Barbariccia
    We have questions for you.
[07:10] Barbariccia
    If you insist on interfering,
    you'll have to go through us.
[07:18] Emi
    Will he really come?
[07:21] Alciel
    Without fail.
[07:22] Alciel
    Based on his MgRonald's shifts,
[07:25] Alciel
    he should be able to make his
    move on Thursday afternoon.
[07:28] Alciel
    Still, I don't know
    precisely when he'll arrive...
[07:33] Alciel
    or what the result will be.
[07:36] Alciel
    I trust you know our current task.
[07:40] Emi
    Since our hands are tied,
    we'll dance until our strength runs out!
[07:47] Emi
    Isn't that right?
[07:56] Maou
    Oh, you're awake. How do you feel?
[08:00] Acieth Alla
    My head kinda hurts. My neck, too.
[08:05] Maou
    Not surprising, considering how you flew.
[08:07] Maou
    What was that about?
[08:10] Acieth Alla
    I'm not sure, but my chest filled with
    something warm, and then... yeah.
[08:17] Maou
    Well, whatever. If you're feeling better,
     we'll leave this inn ASAP.
[08:23] Maou
    I haven't been able to contact
    Suzuno or Albert for eight hours.
[08:27] Maou
    Since our hands are tied, I want to
    at least try to get some intel.
[08:34] Maou
    H-Hey, does that mean Alas
    Ramus is fighting right now?
[08:39] Acieth Alla
    That way. Yesod is fighting super
    hard against some dark black force.
[08:43] Maou
    That way is Heavensky.
[08:47] Maou
    Shit, how come I can't sense it?!
[08:49] Acieth Alla
    Maou, let's go! Big Sis is right nearby!
[08:53] Acieth Alla
    Even if you're useless, I can
    try to do something by myself!
[08:57] Maou
    Hold up. By yourself?
[09:00] Maou
    You left your fusion with Nord
    to fuse with me, right?
[09:06] Acieth Alla
    Yep.
[09:07] Maou
    So can you leave your fusion with me, too?
[09:10] Acieth Alla
    You mean re-fuse with Dad or something?
[09:14] Acieth Alla
    I'm not sure.
[09:17] Maou
    But you didn't hesitate to
    fuse with me at Chi's school.
[09:22] Acieth Alla
    Yeah, cuz you seemed like
    you'd be easy to fuse with.
[09:25] Acieth Alla
    But there've been lots of side effects,
    so I guess we're a bad match.
[09:31] Acieth Alla
    Looking back, Chiho or Lucifer
    might've been better choices.
[09:36] Maou
    Chi? Urushihara?
[09:38] Maou
    Say, Acieth, I thought you and
    Alas Ramus were the "mistletoe,"
[09:45] Maou
    but is it actually us?
[09:46] Acieth Alla
    Yep! Everyone with knowledge of this
    world is mistletoe for the sephiroth.
[09:55] Acieth Alla
    Forget that! Let's go find Big Sis!
[09:58] Acieth Alla
    If you don't move, I can't move either!
[10:01] Maou
    Okay, I'll go! Just calm down!
[10:08] Acieth Alla
    Maou, are we really going on scooters?
[10:11] Acieth Alla
    Flying is faster, and then I can
    beat the bad guys with Big Sis.
[10:15] Maou
    They'll find us if we fly.
    You can drive, right?
[10:19] Acieth Alla
    Sure. I studied with Dad.
[10:22] Acieth Alla
    But...
[10:24] Maou
    Don't do anything to tip off Gabriel and
    the others about us until the last moment.
[10:28] Maou
    We're vulnerable—if they
    come at us through a Gate,
[10:31] Maou
    there's no guarantee we'll able to
    join forces with Alas Ramus.
SIGN    Joint birthday party!
     Happy birthday to Miss Yusa, too
[10:45] Maou
    Let's go, Acieth!
[10:46] Acieth Alla
    I'm ready to do it to it!
[10:59] Emi
    Holy Flame Slice!
[11:03] Alciel
    That's nothing!
[11:09] Emi
    Piercing Aerial Flash!
SIGN    Hiyayakko! Ginger bud!
[11:16] Emi
    Looks like this'll be a war of attrition.
[11:19] Alciel
    Still, that's all we can do.
[11:23] Emi
    I owe you an apology for something.
[11:27] Emi
    We killed a lot of your...
    of the demon realm's citizens
[11:32] Emi
    because I was too weak to stop it.
[11:35] Emi
    I'm sorry.
[11:36] Alciel
    Neither you nor I had the power
    to crush all the obstacles in our path.
[11:41] Alciel
    That's all.
[11:44] Alciel
    In any case, I hope Alas Ramus
    hasn't caught a cold or taken ill.
[11:49] Emi
    She's healthy. She's a lot
    tougher than we are, you know.
[11:54] Alciel
    I'm glad to hear it!
[12:02] Emi
    Heavenly Fang of Storms!
[12:10] Emi
    What?
[12:11] Alciel
    What do you think of this?
[12:15] Emi
    Hey!
[12:16] Alas Ramus
    Whee! Spin faster! Spin, spin!
[12:19] Emi
    This is no time for fun, Alas Ramus!
[12:26] Alciel
    Stand up, Emilia. I know you
    can't be defeated so easily.
[12:31] Emi
    You know, I realize we have to
    fight all-out right now.
[12:36] Emi
    I really do, but...
[12:38] Emi
    that hurt! I hit the roof nose-first!
[12:41] Emi
    Shockwave of Light!
[12:49] Alciel
    Don't damage the place too much.
[12:52] Alciel
    Nord Justina is being held
    in the Cloud Retreat.
[12:57] Alciel
    If we damage the castle keep greatly
    enough to affect the Cloud Retreat,
[13:02] Alciel
    the worst may happen.
[13:04] Alciel
    Your father survived this long.
[13:07] Alciel
    I'm sure you don't want to
    lose him in a farce like this.
[13:10] Emi
    Really?
[13:14] Emi
    Dad is really that close by?
[13:19] Alciel
    You won't get him back the way
    things stand now, of course.
[13:24] Alciel
    If you make any suspicious moves,
    he'll be beyond your reach in no time.
[13:31] Emi
    I see...
[13:34] Alciel
    Have you lost your will to fight?
[13:36] Emi
    Thank you. Now I'm prepared to keep dancing.
[13:40] Emi
    And to rampage a little
    after we're done dancing, too.
[13:44] Alciel
    Excellent.
[13:50] Raguel
    They've been fighting for seven
    hours now. Talk about energy!
[13:55] Raguel
    I don't remember the guy
    being that strong, though.
[13:58] Raguel
    Didn't he get beaten up by you, Gab?
[14:02] Gabriel
    Eh, maybe that was because we were in Japan.
[14:06] Chamuel
    Emilia had better not be holding back.
[14:10] Gabriel
    Hmm?
[14:11] Chamuel
    She has Yesod's power.
[14:14] Chamuel
    She should be more than a match
    for a demon like that. Why isn't she?!
[14:18] Gabriel
    Chamuel, your tone is kinda scary.
[14:21] Chamuel
    Imperfect or not, she's still
    the mistletoe of a sephirah.
[14:26] Chamuel
    You know very well how
    formidable that power is.
[14:29] Gabriel
    Yeah, good point—it did let Satan
    wipe the floor with you, after all.
[14:36] Chamuel
    How dare you!
[14:38] Gabriel
    Well, Emilia won't lose.
[14:42] Gabriel
    And on the off chance she flags,
[14:44] Gabriel
    it may be a little ahead of schedule,
    but we can step in and help!
[14:47] Gabriel
    Right?
[14:49] Gabriel
    Once she's nice and exhausted, of course.
[14:53] Raguel
    What're those?
[14:56] Raguel
    Weren't they called "scooters"?
[15:00] Gabriel
    Finally.
[15:06] Acieth Alla
    Maou! Big Sis is over there!
[15:08] Maou
    I know, I know!
[15:16] Maou
    Man, what the hell? This is like
    the worst possible scenario!
[15:22] Soldier 3
    What're those?
[15:23] Soldier 4
    A new kind of demon?
SIGN    Stop them!
SIGN    Just shoot!
SIGN    Fire!
[15:30] Acieth Alla
    Uh-oh! What now?
[15:32] Maou
    Full speed ahead! Believe in the
    power of Japanese automakers!
[15:37] Acieth Alla
    Seriously?!
[15:38] Acieth Alla
    Argh, I don't even care anymore!
[15:41] Maou
    Move or we'll hit you!
[15:43] Maou
    Out of the way!
[15:44] Maou
    Insurance won't cover you
    if you get hit in Ente Isla!
[15:47] Maou
    Move it!
[15:50] Maou
    Alas Ramus, Ashiya, Emi—I'm here!
[16:06] Emi
    Satan!
[16:06] Alciel
    King Satan!
[16:08] Alciel/Emi
    Why pizza delivery scooters?!
[16:17] Acieth Alla
    They're catching up, Maou!
[16:22] Maou
    All right, follow the plan!
[16:25] Acieth Alla
    I'm on it!
[16:43] Maou
    You okay, Acieth?
[16:45] Acieth Alla
    Too smoky...
[16:47] Acieth Alla
    Face forward!
[16:55] Maou
    Those turned out pretty well for DIY bombs!
[17:02] Maou
    Here, take a wooden sword
    to threaten people with.
[17:05] Acieth Alla
    You're really enjoying this.
[17:07] Maou
    Threatening only, though.
[17:09] Maou
    If push comes to shove,
    throw it at the enemy.
[17:11] Maou
    Just do your best to avoid hurting anyone.
[17:14] Maou
    Don't forget that!
[17:18] Acieth Alla
    Suzuno, please come back and stop Maou!
[17:23] Albert
    Are you sure we shouldn't
    send an idea link to the Devil?
[17:28] Suzuno
    An intercepted message could
    endanger him and Acieth Alla.
[17:42] Albert
    Hey, look.
[17:50] Suzuno
    That's the Cathedral of Oreus!
[17:52] Suzuno
    We're right next to Saint Aire?
[17:56] Albert
    We lost hope too soon.
[17:59] Albert
    Know what's happening
    in that cathedral right now?
[18:04] Maou
    Out of the way!
[18:12] Acieth Alla
    Maou! Demons and a bald guy!
[18:14] Olba
    D-Demon King Satan?!
[18:16] Farfarello
    H-His Majesty!
[18:17] Barbariccia
    That's His Majesty?!
[18:19] Maou
    I don't care about Baldy or the demons!
[18:21] Maou
    We're goin' straight into the castle!
[18:23] Maou
    Sound the horn!
[18:36] Maou
    I so didn't want to see that...
[18:39] Maou
    but whatever! Give it all you've got!
[18:41] Acieth Alla
    Do what you want! I take no responsibility!
[18:47] Emi
    Satan?!
[18:47] Alciel
    Sire!
[18:55] Emi
    Dad!
[18:56] Alciel
    Oh, no! At this rate, the Cloud Retreat will—
[19:22] Alciel
    Sire.
[19:24] Maou
    Sheesh! I didn't get my license,
    I owe Suzuno a fortune,
[19:29] Maou
    and I skipped a week of shifts,
[19:32] Maou
    so I'll have to make the rounds
    thanking everyone who covered for me.
[19:36] Maou
    I can't catch a break.
[19:39] Maou
    I'm giving you two
    an earful when we get home.
[19:41] Alciel
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[19:45] Emi
    I'm sorry I caused you trouble.
[19:48] Maou
    What's with you? Did you eat something weird?
[19:52] Emi
    E-Everyone has moments like these. Even me.
[19:57] Maou
    Is someone controlling you?
[20:00] Emi
    I told you, it's just me.
[20:03] Emi
    If I ever return to Japan,
[20:05] Emi
    I'll make all those apologies I owe you.
[20:08] Maou
    O-Okay...
[20:11] Maou
    Ashiya, don't you think Emi's acting weird?
[20:14] Acieth Alla
    Maou!
[20:27] Emi
    D-Dad...
[20:31] Maou
    Emi, I don't expect forgiveness
    for what I did back then, either.
[20:37] Maou
    But I found a lost treasure of yours,
[20:39] Maou
    so I'm giving it back to you
    as a token of my apology.
[20:47] Emi
    Dad's really alive...
[20:51] Emi
    This isn't a dream, right?
[20:54] Alas Ramus
    Papa! Papa came!
[20:56] Alas Ramus
    Mama, I'm going to Papa!
[20:58] Emi
    Huh? O-Oh, okay.
[21:02] Alas Ramus
    Papa!
[21:04] Maou
    Hiya, Alas Ramus!
[21:06] Maou
    There's someone I wanted you to see,
    so I brought her with me.
[21:09] Alas Ramus
    Yeah!
[21:11] Alas Ramus
    Acieth, long time no see!
[21:15] Emi
    Is she...?
[21:17] Alas Ramus
    Acieth, you grew up!
[21:24] Acieth Alla
    Big Sis, you surprised me—
    you're still a baby!
[21:30] Acieth Alla
    Big Sis!
[21:33] Acieth Alla
    I missed you so much!
[21:37] Alas Ramus
    Don't cry, Acieth. Good girl!
[21:44] Acieth Alla
    I was so lonely!
[21:45] Emi
    U-Um, so...
[21:47] Maou
    Listen, the way I figure it,
[21:49] Maou
    we'll just have to hold a big family
    meeting when we get home.
[21:54] Maou
    But first...
[22:03] Alas Ramus
    Ga'riel.
