[00:17] ---
    Why?
[00:20] ---
    Why would the Devil save people?
[00:34] ---
    Right here, this moment,
    this is our starting point

[00:38] ---
    Let's picture what we might be able to do
[00:44] ---
    Unbelievable things can happen sometimes
[00:48] ---
    More... we can push past this
[00:55] ---
    Everything is born from zero;
    I want to shine, flap my wings hard

[01:06] ---
    And fly to that sky
[01:09] ---
    Come on, let's go, with
    brilliant smiles on our faces!

[01:17] ---
    Let's fly off to an unknown world right now
[01:23] ---
    I decide, I'm the one who chooses my future
[01:27] ---
    Let's follow our dreams
[01:30] ---
    Sure, some days we'll cry
[01:31] ---
    It's a precious wish, don't disappear
[01:37] ---
    I'm going after the future you,
    because I know I'll find you

[01:54] ---
    I'm reporting from a helicopter above
    the site of Shinjuku's subway collapse.
[01:55] ---
    The Hero Experiences Human Warmth
[01:57] ---
    There are plenty of emergency
    vehicles on the scene
[02:00] ---
    and the atmosphere is solemn,
    but to everyone's shock,
[02:04] ---
    despite the magnitude of the
    disaster, there are no casualties.
[02:07] ---
    I repeat: We've been informed that
    there are no casualties. The police--
[02:11] ---
    Daddy!
[02:15] ---
    Daddy!
[02:19] ---
    I brought lunch!
[02:22] ---
    Thank you, Emilia.
[02:27] ---
    Is it good?
[02:28] ---
    Yep!
[02:30] ---
    Hey there Nord, Emilia.
[02:33] ---
    Wow, Emilia, did you make that?
[02:35] ---
    Yes!
[02:36] ---
    I bet it's good!
[02:38] ---
    Uh-huh!
[02:42] ---
    You can have some, too.
[02:43] ---
    Well, that's mighty kind.
[02:48] ---
    Did you hear? The eastern and
    northern lands fell to the Devil's army.
[02:54] ---
    Everybody's saying the West will be next.
[02:58] ---
    We're completely safe protected by the
    Grand Hoshin Church and the Royal Army.
[03:04] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[03:05] ---
    Well, I think we'd be helpless
    facing the demon general Lucifer!
[03:11] ---
    Times are bad, if you ask me.
[03:15] ---
    Are demons coming here?
[03:17] ---
    It's okay. The holy father's
    prayers will protect us.
[03:22] ---
    Don't you worry.
[03:24] ---
    Daddy's right, you know!
[03:27] ---
    Because Daddy never lies!
[03:31] ---
    Right, Daddy?
[03:33] ---
    Nope, he sure doesn't. You're exactly right.
[03:47] ---
    Holy father?
[03:49] ---
    Did you come to save us from the demons?
[03:56] ---
    Daddy!
[03:59] ---
    The holy father came to save the village!
[04:16] ---
    Emilia... he came to take you with him.
[04:21] ---
    Huh? Why?
[04:22] ---
    This is the day I've been protecting you for.
[04:26] ---
    Daddy?
[04:27] ---
    You're an angel's child.
[04:30] ---
    The only human in Ente Isla
    with the power to defeat the Devil.
[04:35] ---
    What? No. I'm your child, Daddy.
[04:39] ---
    Yes. And you're also your angel mother's child.
[04:43] ---
    I don't understand! I don't get
    what you're saying, Daddy!
[04:51] ---
    You will.
[04:53] ---
    What about you? You're coming with us, right?
[04:59] ---
    I'm sorry.
[05:01] ---
    I pray you'll lead a life full of light,
    in a world swept clean of evil.
[05:07] ---
    Emilia, my daughter...
    I love you with all my heart.
[05:14] ---
    That was the last time I ever saw my father.
[05:19] ---
    Several days after I was separated from him,
[05:22] ---
    our village was burned to ashes
[05:24] ---
    by the demon army sent to crush
    the West, led by general Lucifer.
[05:33] ---
    Do not lose heart, Emilia.
[05:37] ---
    You have inherited the power of
    your mother, one of the great angels.
[05:43] ---
    Now, listen: the sacred
    evolving sword "Better Half"
[05:47] ---
    is a holy weapon that only children of
    both a human and an angel can wield.
[05:52] ---
    You are the...
[05:53] ---
    ...only human in Ente Isla with
    the power to defeat the Devil.
[05:58] ---
    Then please teach me to sword-fight.
[06:02] ---
    So that I can defeat the Devil myself.
[06:05] ---
    How dare you?!
[06:06] ---
    Well, you were out of it,
[06:08] ---
    like your life was flashing before your
    eyes, so I wondered if you were okay.
[06:12] ---
    I'm fine! And you don't get to worry about me.
[06:18] ---
    You're back to your sloppy self!
[06:20] ---
    The "sloppy" was uncalled for.
[06:22] ---
    Mr. Maou!
[06:23] ---
    Chi.
[06:24] ---
    Um, I...
[06:27] ---
    Aw, I'm just glad you're okay.
[06:29] ---
    R-Right...
[06:31] ---
    Kids, it's dangerous over there, so come-- Hmm?
[06:35] ---
    Say, are you Inspector Sasaki's daughter?
[06:37] ---
    Oh, Senichi Sasaki at West
    Shinjuku Station is my father, yes...
[06:46] ---
    I knew I recognized you! I'll go get him.
[06:51] ---
    U-Um, Mr. Maou...
[06:53] ---
    I get it, don't worry.
[06:56] ---
    No girl wants to get mixed
    up in a crisis on a date,
[06:59] ---
    even if nothing sketchy happened, right?
[07:01] ---
    It's even worse for me!
[07:03] ---
    I'm sorry.
[07:04] ---
    Nah, don't sweat it. See you tomorrow!
[07:06] ---
    Yes!
[07:08] ---
    Thank you, too, Miss Yusa.
[07:12] ---
    Sasaki from West Shinjuku Station, eh?
[07:14] ---
    It's no coincidence, then.
[07:16] ---
    The magic I used when I first
    got here affected his daughter
[07:18] ---
    and made her hear that voice.
[07:22] ---
    What's your plan?
[07:23] ---
    Eat in a bunch of underground
    cafés and wait for one to collapse.
[07:27] ---
    Are you stupid?
[07:29] ---
    Can it, you.
[07:31] ---
    I'm tired. I'm gonna go home and sleep.
[07:33] ---
    Hey!
[07:35] ---
    Nothing else is gonna happen for today.
[07:38] ---
    Their attack failed, after all.
[07:40] ---
    Failed?
[07:41] ---
    Yeah. That was no natural quake.
[07:45] ---
    It happened when we were in the same
    place, meaning somebody set us up.
[07:50] ---
    I don't know if they used
    a sonar pulse or magical interference,
[07:54] ---
    but one thing's for sure: our covers are blown.
[07:58] ---
    Then our enemy...
[08:00] ---
    Has been standing right next to us.
[08:02] ---
    Maybe the reason he didn't follow up
[08:04] ---
    is because my magic started to come back?
[08:07] ---
    But who could it be, then?!
[08:10] ---
    Who could put out so much power here in Japan,
[08:13] ---
    where we can't replenish
    magic or celestial force--
[08:14] ---
    Emi! Emi!
[08:17] ---
    Emi! Over here!
[08:18] ---
    Rika?!
[08:19] ---
    Hey, Emi, are you okay?!
[08:19] ---
    Wow, you actually have a friend.
[08:21] ---
    Emi, hey!
[08:22] ---
    What do you care?!
[08:23] ---
    Emi!
[08:23] ---
    Go on, she's waiting.
[08:25] ---
    Emi, listen!
[08:25] ---
    I know that!
[08:27] ---
    Hurry up!
[08:29] ---
    Emi, thank goodness!
[08:30] ---
    See you later.
[08:31] ---
    Your Majesty!
[08:33] ---
    What now?
[08:35] ---
    I'm so sorry, Sire! Not only
    did I allow Emilia near you,
[08:39] ---
    but I didn't notice the enemy closing in!
[08:41] ---
    And then I put you in a position to save
    my life! How can I ever apologize?!
[08:46] ---
    Quit crying. We're going home.
[08:48] ---
    You're not hurt, right?
[08:50] ---
    You even graciously inquire after my welfare! I...
[08:54] ---
    Don't cling to me! It's creepy! Cut it out!
[08:55] ---
    Sire!
[08:58] ---
    Oh, so your parents live abroad?
[09:00] ---
    Yeah, essentially...
[09:03] ---
    Sorry for crashing, though.
[09:06] ---
    No, I'm sorry for dragging you here!
[09:08] ---
    Oh, you didn't drag me!
[09:10] ---
    It's just... hmm...
[09:13] ---
    Going by my own experience,
    I figured maybe you shouldn't be alone.
[09:21] ---
    Here you go! You missed dinner, right?
[09:24] ---
    Yep. These hunger pains feel
    more deadly than the cave-in!
[09:28] ---
    Okay, eat up, then!
[09:31] ---
    Sire, please punish me!
[09:35] ---
    I told you, just forget about it!
[09:39] ---
    Could I have a word with you two?
[09:42] ---
    Phew, thanks for the food!
[09:44] ---
    If you're that hungry, I guess
    I don't need to worry about you.
[09:49] ---
    Nope!
[09:51] ---
    Excuse me a second.
[09:54] ---
    Hello!
[09:56] ---
    Ah, ya got it?
[09:57] ---
    Nah, it ain't 'spensive,
    and Grampa loves all shochu, yeah?
[10:03] ---
    Today's quake? Nothin' to worry about.
[10:06] ---
    'S close to work, but I'm safe,
    so let everybody know, yeah?
[10:12] ---
    'Kay, bye!
[10:13] ---
    That was Mama.
[10:14] ---
    Her?
[10:15] ---
    Yep!
[10:17] ---
    I've never heard you use that dialect before.
[10:20] ---
    I grew up in Kobe.
[10:22] ---
    But it's always a hassle talking
    about where I'm from, so I don't.
[10:26] ---
    A hassle how?
[10:28] ---
    People think they can ask me all these questions.
[10:31] ---
    About the earthquake, and stuff.
[10:34] ---
    I was little then, but I still can't forget it.
[10:39] ---
    It was... really scary.
[10:42] ---
    People have asked me lots of things
    that were hard to answer.
[10:49] ---
    Hard to answer...
[11:00] ---
    What? What's with the sudden hug?
[11:02] ---
    You're the first one, Emi.
[11:04] ---
    Huh?
[11:05] ---
    The first person not to ask insensitive
    questions when I say I'm from Kobe.
[11:11] ---
    When a person's outlook
    gets turned upside-down,
[11:14] ---
    you never know which way they'll go.
[11:18] ---
    Some people take advantage of
    the chaos to do bad things, you know.
[11:23] ---
    And other people are so soft-hearted,
[11:26] ---
    they'll do anything to help you,
    even after they've lost everything.
[11:30] ---
    So I thought...
[11:31] ---
    You know how when you feel torn,
[11:34] ---
    it's like your angel and
    demon selves are arguing?
[11:38] ---
    I thought, "People can turn either
    angel or demon, if they decide to."
[11:43] ---
    Either angel or demon...?
[11:48] ---
    You boys are with an acting troupe, right?
[11:50] ---
    Huh?
[11:50] ---
    What?
[11:50] ---
    I used to want to be an actor,
    so I know where you're coming from.
[11:54] ---
    But no practicing your lines
    on the sidewalk, okay?
[11:57] ---
    Er...
[11:58] ---
    I'm sure it's tough selling your ticket
    quotas and whatnot, but keep at it.
[12:03] ---
    Maybe this doesn't mean much from
    a man whose dream never came true,
[12:07] ---
    but the minute you give up, it's all over.
[12:09] ---
    Right...
[12:10] ---
    Oh, and watch out!
[12:12] ---
    Lots of muggings around here lately,
    and you don't want people suspecting you!
[12:25] ---
    Emi, you can take the first bath.
[12:28] ---
    Oh, okay.
[12:29] ---
    Serial muggings!!
[12:29] ---
    Seventh incident today
[12:30] ---
    A salaryman had his briefcase
    stolen on the way home from work.
[12:34] ---
    Ugh, again?!
[12:34] ---
    From the MO, the police suspect that
[12:36] ---
    Lots of those lately, huh?
[12:38] ---
    Times like these make a girl wish
[12:38] ---
    this was the work of the same man
[12:40] ---
    she had someone to play bodyguard!
[12:40] ---
    behind the recent string of muggings.
[12:43] ---
    You're lucky there, Emi.
[12:45] ---
    Huh?
[12:46] ---
    You know, that guy you
    were talking with before.
[12:49] ---
    That jerk isn't--
[12:50] ---
    So you're close enough to call each other "jerk"?
[12:53] ---
    He looked pretty fine.
    I can't help but be curious!
[12:57] ---
    That je-- That guy is nothing to me!
[13:02] ---
    I'll put some towels out here!
[13:04] ---
    Okay, thanks!
[13:10] ---
    What's this feeling... this warmth?
[13:16] ---
    Is this the human heart?
[13:23] ---
    If so, what was he thinking
    when he saved those people?
[13:32] ---
    What do you want? It's early.
[13:35] ---
    Don't worry, it's not poison
    or razor blades or anything.
[13:40] ---
    Can't think of any reason I'd get
    something not dangerous from you...
[13:44] ---
    Oh, does that mean I can keep the 1,000 yen?
[13:50] ---
    Now we're even.
[13:53] ---
    Hey! What about your promise
    to leave us alone for a while?!
[13:55] ---
    I agreed to be your guarantor, so we're square!
[13:59] ---
    Why, you--
[14:00] ---
    Was Alciel okay in the cave-in?
[14:04] ---
    Well, he ain't injured. Seems to have
    taken a psychological hit, though.
[14:08] ---
    Huh?
[14:09] ---
    Your Majesty! Please forgive me!
[14:13] ---
    He knew I'd gotten a little power back...
[14:13] ---
    I am a vile, useless demon!
[14:17] ---
    ...but he still beat himself up all night
[14:20] ---
    for not being able to do anything for
    his king in crisis, so he's sleeping in.
[14:25] ---
    Sheesh...
[14:27] ---
    So what about you? Are you okay?
[14:30] ---
    You used your power to put Chi to sleep, right?
[14:34] ---
    I-I'm not so far gone I need
    an enemy worrying about me!
[14:37] ---
    Sadao Maou
[14:37] ---
    Shiro Ashiya
[14:37] ---
    Oh? Fine, then. If you're done, feel free to scram.
[14:41] ---
    That's the plan!
[14:43] ---
    It's too early for this...
[14:46] ---
    Hey, Emi! Those shoes
    don't have the traction for--
[14:51] ---
    An enemy attack?!
[14:56] ---
    Well, I never! For the hero who
    very nearly vanquished King Satan
[14:59] ---
    to sustain so many injuries falling down
    the stairs, even in an assumed form,
[15:05] ---
    simply injures His Majesty's reputation!
[15:09] ---
    Hmm, we only have adhesive bandages.
    Did we never buy gauze?
[15:14] ---
    Oh, well. I know it's a pain,
    but make a quick trip to the pharmacy
[15:18] ---
    and buy her some gauze and bandages.
[15:20] ---
    I don't want her carping at me again.
[15:24] ---
    As you wish, Sire.
[15:25] ---
    Might I borrow Dullahan, then?
[15:28] ---
    Permission granted.
[15:32] ---
    Might as well at least disinfect it now...
[15:35] ---
    Use this to--
[15:36] ---
    D-Don't touch me!
[15:37] ---
    I can do it myself!
[15:39] ---
    Yeah, yeah, excuse me.
[15:42] ---
    Here, have at it.
[15:47] ---
    Does it sting?
[15:48] ---
    No!
[15:51] ---
    Hey! What was that for?!
[15:52] ---
    Shut up!
[15:54] ---
    What are you doing?! You're the Devil, right?!
[15:57] ---
    So act like it! Commit every atrocity
    you can think of in this world!
[16:01] ---
    What? Where did that come from?!
[16:03] ---
    What's with you?! You're poor,
    you cook your own meals,
[16:06] ---
    you're respected at your job,
    you work your wiles on high school girls--
[16:09] ---
    I've never heard of a Devil being vain
    just because some teenager likes him!
[16:13] ---
    One of those things was not like the others.
[16:15] ---
    I think the shoe fits!
[16:17] ---
    Well, I've never seen a hero who fell down the
    stairs, cried, and got patched up by demons!
[16:27] ---
    Why are you nice to me?
[16:29] ---
    Huh?
[16:30] ---
    Why are you nice to me...
    to people... to this world?
[16:36] ---
    Why can you be so nice?!
[16:39] ---
    If you can be nice, then why...
[16:42] ---
    Why did you kill my father?!
[16:45] ---
    The Devil I know is cruel,
    and he kills humans as easily as bugs,
[16:51] ---
    and he's happiest when the world
    is filled with sorrow and blood!
[16:56] ---
    I--
[16:57] ---
    You burned our fields with fire--
    you destroyed our castles with lightning--
[17:01] ---
    You swept away our towns with floods!
[17:03] ---
    You're Satan, ruler of demons,
    and you allow them any brutality!
[17:07] ---
    I swear on my life, I'll never forgive you!
[17:10] ---
    Our house, my father's fields, my father's life--
[17:15] ---
    You stole every bit of my
    peaceful existence from me!
[17:19] ---
    I'll never forgive you!
[17:25] ---
    I've never thought too much about it, but...
[17:31] ---
    Sorry, I guess.
[17:33] ---
    I didn't really understand humans, back then.
[17:38] ---
    Good morning!
[17:42] ---
    I ran into Miss Sasaki,
    and she said she'd like to see you--
[17:49] ---
    Oh, I-I... You two really...
    y-you really are, aren't you?
[17:55] ---
    Ch-Chi?
[17:57] ---
    Ch-Chiho! It's not what it looks like!
[17:59] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[18:00] ---
    Chi!
[18:04] ---
    This is bad, huh.
[18:06] ---
    A lovers' quarrel with his old
    girl over a beautiful new one...
[18:11] ---
    And then the new girl
    herself arrives on the scene
[18:15] ---
    and discovers he never really
    broke things off with his ex.
[18:19] ---
    This is the sort of sordid romantic drama
    syrupy enough to cause heart disease.
[18:26] ---
    What?! Is it really?
[18:27] ---
    Not you, too...
[18:28] ---
    I am Miki Shiba, the
    landlady of this establishment.
[18:32] ---
    I take it you are Mr. Maou's girlfriend?
[18:35] ---
    M-Me, with this loser?!
[18:37] ---
    "Loser"?!
[18:38] ---
    Um, Ms. Shi--
[18:39] ---
    Non! "Mikitty," please.
[18:41] ---
    Uh, right...
[18:43] ---
    You see, I'm having some
    repairs done to these apartments.
[18:46] ---
    I'm informing the tenants now.
[18:50] ---
    There are so many disturbing goings-on
    these days, yes? Cave-ins and such.
[18:55] ---
    Y-Yes...
[18:56] ---
    I wonder if something will happen again today?
[19:00] ---
    I-I'm sure I couldn't say...
[19:02] ---
    That reminds me, that adorable
    young lady who was just here
[19:05] ---
    seems to have run off toward
    the train station in tears.
[19:11] ---
    The ground shook...?
[19:13] ---
    Mr. Maou.
[19:14] ---
    If you've involved her, I hope
    you'll take full responsibility.
[19:18] ---
    F-For what?
[19:19] ---
    Surely you've realized by
    now that it was no coincidence
[19:23] ---
    when that adorable girl took a direct sonar hit
[19:27] ---
    and received an idea link transmission?
[19:29] ---
    Don't you three know better than anyone else
[19:33] ---
    that thought and will have great power?
[19:37] ---
    I warn you, if you do not hurry,
    you may be too late.
[19:42] ---
    Ms. Shiba...?
[19:45] ---
    I feel gross! I think I'm going to be Gate-sick!
[19:49] ---
    Keep it together, please!
[19:51] ---
    It seems we won't have time
    to rest when we get there.
[19:56] ---
    You've picked up something?
[19:59] ---
    I detect artificial magic
    on a scale unsupportable
[20:03] ---
    by the "Japanese" magical reserves
    I calculated from sonar measurements.
[20:12] ---
    Is Emilia in trouble?
[20:14] ---
    It's possible.
[20:16] ---
    Perhaps we'd better prepare for a fight.
[20:20] ---
    Got it.
[20:21] ---
    Hurry, then. I can take it.
[20:23] ---
    Understood.
[20:25] ---
    Here we goooo!
[20:27] ---
    Try not to shake me!
[20:34] ---
    Huh? Why am I crying?
[20:40] ---
    I must love Mr. Maou after all.
[20:46] ---
    I'm sorry.
[20:47] ---
    Well, well, you'll make a fine meal.
[20:50] ---
    I've been watching you since
    my earlier failure, just in case,
[20:56] ---
    but I never dreamed you'd
    fall prey to despair so easily.
[21:00] ---
    Chiho Sasaki.
[21:03] ---
    I shall feed on your bitterness and
    despair over the Devil and the hero,
[21:07] ---
    and materialize here.
[21:10] ---
    Hey, don't just stand there--
[21:18] ---
    Now then, it's time for the hunt.
[21:21] ---
    Today I shall surpass the ruler of demons.
[21:28] ---
    This is horrible!
[21:32] ---
    Him...!
[21:33] ---
    Who is that? Did he do this?!
[21:37] ---
    Isn't that obvious?
[21:47] ---
    Heh, I knew it.
[21:50] ---
    It can't be!
[21:51] ---
    My, my, if it isn't the great King Satan--
[21:54] ---
    --or should I call you Sadao Maou now?
[21:58] ---
    And what exactly are you doing here,
[22:02] ---
    demon general Lucifer?
[22:23] ---
    Where will morning start from, in this quiet sky?
[22:28] ---
    Fingertips twining in a pinky
    swear I pretended not to see

[22:34] ---
    If the moon's been laughed at,
    she'll sink away toward yesterday

[22:45] ---
    Liar, coward--if I'm all these things at once
[22:50] ---
    Then I only blossomed in dreams
[22:56] ---
    I hid in the moon's shadow,
    but the truth is, I was crying

[23:01] ---
    The tears won't flow anymore--
    did they all dry up?

[23:07] ---
    If I could forgive everything,
    maybe they'd flow again

[23:14] ---
    But these are all things I want to protect
[23:42] ---
    The Devil and the Hero Save Sasazuka
