[00:03] ---
    I was created with a Taboo Magic spell
    that changes humans into magic.
[00:08] ---
    I'm Human Magic, Eleonore.
[00:11] ---
    I see.
[00:13] ---
    So, even when Ledriano and the others
    got blasted away, it didn't affect De Igelia,
[00:17] ---
    and it was you alone who took on the task
    of healing even their mortal wounds?
[00:22] ---
    Yes.
[00:23] ---
    But before we go into that...
[00:26] ---
    We have to dispel the Gavuel spell
    that Diego cast on Jerga Canon, huh?
[00:30] ---
    I'm fending it off with Rivide,
    but if we leave things as they are,
[00:34] ---
    everyone's source will explode.
[00:38] ---
    If you let me out of here,
    I'll find a way to take care of that.
[00:41] ---
    Source Magic is a specialty of mine.
[00:44] ---
    Then, I'm counting on you.
[01:02] ---
    Thank you.
[01:16] ---
    Gyze has been disabled, right?
[01:18] ---
    The barrier's gone, too,
    so is it over now?
SIGN    TABOO MAGIC
[03:01] ---
    Everything's fine now.
[03:06] ---
    And now...
[03:07] ---
    I'll tell you all about it.
[03:10] ---
    About...
[03:12] ---
    our academy.
[03:16] ---
    Did you clone humans?
[03:19] ---
    Yes.
[03:21] ---
    Those are the source clones I created.
[03:23] ---
    They were all created by force
    by the Source Magic Eleonore.
[03:30] ---
    That's why even if they're killed, source and all,
    there's always someone else to replace them.
[03:34] ---
    That's sheer madness.
[03:37] ---
    I suppose so.
[03:38] ---
    But there was a human who implemented it
    two thousand years ago.
[03:42] ---
    Do you know him? The commander
    who led the Subjugation Army with Kanon.
[03:48] ---
    You mean Jerga?
[03:50] ---
    Commander Jerga had a deep-rooted grudge
    against the demon race.
[03:55] ---
    Even long after the Great War had ended.
[03:59] ---
    His greatest fear was that the descendants
    would forget that grudge toward demons.
[04:04] ---
    That's why he created the Hero Academy.
[04:07] ---
    He also twisted around the laws of magic
    to transform his source into two magic spells.
[04:13] ---
    One of them is Asc.
[04:15] ---
    Kill them.
[04:18] ---
    The demons. Kill them.
[04:21] ---
    Kill them!
[04:24] ---
    Kill them!
[04:26] ---
    People believe that they can gain
    guidance from Kanon by using Asc,
[04:32] ---
    but in reality,
    it's Commander Jerga's thirst for revenge.
[04:35] ---
    And that thirst for revenge gets implanted
    into those under the influence of Asc, huh?
[04:41] ---
    Yes. That's why Hero Kanon was against it.
[04:45] ---
    My source still retains
    a tiny fragment of that memory.
[04:50] ---
    Mr. Jerga, I understand
    why you hate demons so.
[04:54] ---
    But we've fought all this time to make sure the
    children won't ever have to harbor such feelings!
[05:00] ---
    Kanon...
[05:01] ---
    The Demon King of Tyranny
    has sacrificed his life for the sake of peace.
[05:05] ---
    Yet, you would still have us
    prepare for war again?
[05:12] ---
    How disappointing.
[05:24] ---
    It will never end.
    Not unless we kill the Demon King.
[05:31] ---
    In the end, Kanon was betrayed
    and murdered by a human he trusted.
[05:37] ---
    And he never appeared again.
[05:40] ---
    I guess he must've gotten tired of humans.
[05:44] ---
    That's why he vanished, never reviving,
    never resurrecting himself.
[05:47] ---
    You just said that Jerga's source
    became two magic spells.
[05:51] ---
    Are you the other one?
[05:53] ---
    Yes.
[05:54] ---
    But I was a bust.
[05:57] ---
    A bust?
[05:58] ---
    All of his hatred was absorbed by Asc.
[06:01] ---
    And very little remains
    of Commander Jerga's memories.
[06:05] ---
    My only role is to create
    source clones, nothing more.
[06:10] ---
    Lives robbed of emotion and speech,
    that only exist to fight and then disappear...
[06:16] ---
    As long as this goes on,
    no one can ever find happiness. That's why...
[06:20] ---
    I've always hoped that someone like you
    would show up one day.
[06:27] ---
    May I ask just one favor of you?
[06:29] ---
    Let's hear it.
[06:31] ---
    I want you to destroy me.
[06:34] ---
    You're capable of that, aren't you, Anos?
[06:36] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[06:39] ---
    I've been killing all this time, you know.
[06:42] ---
    My children, for the last
    two thousand years... Non-stop...
[06:46] ---
    If these children could talk, there's no way
    that they'd ever forgive me, so it's all right.
[06:53] ---
    Mama...
[06:55] ---
    Mama...
[06:58] ---
    Zeshia?
[07:09] ---
    Please save her.
[07:13] ---
    Please save Mama.
[07:17] ---
    Why?
[07:19] ---
    Why?
[07:21] ---
    Mama...
[07:26] ---
    I...
[07:32] ---
    You did well to endure this
    for two thousand years.
[07:35] ---
    Anos?
[07:37] ---
    I'm going to grant your wish.
[07:40] ---
    If I make them all happy at once,
    you'll be satisfied, right?
[07:45] ---
    Yes. Please.
[07:47] ---
    I promise you.
[07:51] ---
    What do you want with Eleonore?
[07:55] ---
    Is he another source clone?
[07:58] ---
    Yes. Diego's the ringleader
    who spreads Asc.
[08:01] ---
    As long as I'm around,
    he'll be regenerated endlessly.
[08:13] ---
    S-S-Surely not!
[08:20] ---
    I-Intruders spotted!
[08:23] ---
    That's...
[08:24] ---
    Medoin Garsa!
[08:26] ---
    Zorro Angato!
[08:27] ---
    Eldora Zaia!
[08:29] ---
    It's the Seven Elder Demon Emperors!
    We need backup now!
[08:32] ---
    What are you after, Evansmana?
[08:38] ---
    It's futile! As if a demon could ever draw
    Hero Kanon's Holy Sword!
[08:44] ---
    Impossible!
[08:47] ---
    G-Get it back
    even if you have to kill them!
[08:51] ---
    What's the matter? Dammit!
[08:53] ---
    You useless bastards!
[09:09] ---
    There can be no excuse for having
    the Seven Elder Demon Emperors with you.
[09:13] ---
    Tell me your name.
[09:16] ---
    I am Avos Dilhevia.
[09:19] ---
    The Demon King of Tyranny
    who will destroy all.
[09:23] ---
    What is it that you intend to do
    under a false name,
[09:26] ---
    you fictitious Demon King?
[09:28] ---
    You fool.
[09:36] ---
    I am going to change the world
[09:39] ---
    into the true world of demons,
    swallowed up by this deep darkness.
[09:43] ---
    And now, it begins.
[09:45] ---
    There's no going back for anyone now.
[09:56] ---
    History has repeated itself.
[09:58] ---
    The deep darkness has returned.
[10:01] ---
    The deep darkness
    has assaulted the shrine...
[10:03] ---
    and stolen Azeshion's guardian deity,
    Thunder God Sword Evansmana.
[10:09] ---
    That's right. The legend
    turned out to be true!
[10:12] ---
    The Demon King of Tyranny has been revived!
    After two thousand years!
[10:17] ---
    The founding ancestor's been revived?
[10:20] ---
    He will lead the demon race
    on an invasion of our nation.
[10:24] ---
    But do not fear!
[10:26] ---
    Our Demon Subjugation Army
    will deliver the blow of justice!
[10:30] ---
    Now is the time to fight! Let divine retribution
    rain down on those foolish demons!
[10:35] ---
    Let us Heroes claim victory!
[10:41] ---
    In the name of the Seven Elder
    Demon Emperors, we declare...
[10:46] ---
    ...that our lord has awakened
    from his long slumber.
[10:50] ---
    We will now hear from him
    about his second coming.
[10:55] ---
    I am Avos Dilhevia.
[10:58] ---
    The day has finally come!
[10:59] ---
    The Demon King has returned!
[11:02] ---
    I made a mistake in the past.
[11:05] ---
    To attain peace,
    I divided the world into four realms
[11:08] ---
    and showed the human race mercy.
[11:11] ---
    But they haven't changed
    over the last two thousand years.
[11:15] ---
    To this day, they continue to hand down
    the myth of a Holy Sword to annihilate me.
[11:20] ---
    Now is the time to right my mistake
    from two thousand years ago.
[11:24] ---
    The strongest of you,
    gather around me now!
[11:27] ---
    This time, we shall annihilate
    those foolish humans!
[11:33] ---
    Your Majesty!
[11:35] ---
    Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
[11:39] ---
    Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
[11:46] ---
    What does it look like?
[11:48] ---
    Already, most of the Demon Lords
    have gathered around Avos Dilhevia...
[11:53] ---
    and are advancing toward the border.
[11:56] ---
    The Demon King Subjugation Army
    also seems to be ready to meet their attack.
[12:00] ---
    This is the battle I left unfinished
    two thousand years ago.
[12:05] ---
    There's no need for you to join the fray.
[12:07] ---
    How can we look the other way when there's
    a scoundrel assuming the name of our lord?
[12:13] ---
    Please give us our orders.
[12:17] ---
    You'd better be taking me, too.
[12:20] ---
    You're the one who told me
    to become your subordinate!
[12:23] ---
    It was you who gave me life, Anos.
[12:25] ---
    This life will always be with you.
[12:29] ---
    We're going to fight, too!
[12:31] ---
    Because we're friends.
[12:36] ---
    Such fine subordinates...
[12:38] ---
    Such fine friends
    that I've been blessed with...
[12:42] ---
    We're leaving at daybreak!
[12:44] ---
    Get some rest!
[13:02] ---
    Are you worried?
[13:04] ---
    You have a worried look on your face.
[13:07] ---
    I just keep imagining the worst.
[13:10] ---
    Like...
[13:12] ---
    what if something happens
    to everyone... to you, Lay...
[13:18] ---
    I'm sorry!
[13:19] ---
    This is nothing.
[13:21] ---
    Not compared to the Great War
    two thousand years ago.
[13:25] ---
    I think I probably fought in it.
[13:29] ---
    Could that be why?
[13:31] ---
    I'm not nervous at all.
[13:54] ---
    Can I have this?
[13:56] ---
    Um, but you see...
[13:58] ---
    I hear this means that's you're proposing.
[14:00] ---
    I know that.
[14:02] ---
    Lay...
[14:04] ---
    I'll be back no matter what.
[14:07] ---
    I'll come back to you.
[14:22] ---
    So, do you know what it is
    that you need to do?
[14:25] ---
    Prevent any skirmishes between the Dilhade forces
    and the Demon King Subjugation Army.
[14:29] ---
    And neutralize them both.
[14:31] ---
    And we'll have to find a way
    to remove the grudge from Asc.
[14:35] ---
    I'm ordering you.
[14:36] ---
    Don't die...
[14:37] ---
    and don't kill!
[14:39] ---
    We can't let anyone lose their life
    over a trivial matter like this!
[14:47] ---
    The Azeshion forces,
    the Demon King Subjugation Army,
[14:49] ---
    has already positioned themselves
    to counterattack.
[14:54] ---
    But the first to strike will be...
[14:56] ---
    the Dilhade forces.
[14:59] ---
    There's no telling what Avos Dilhevia will do.
[15:02] ---
    Forward march!
    The stronghold is right there!
[15:04] ---
    Misha and Sasha...
[15:05] ---
    Who the hell are they?
[15:05] ---
    Stop the troops gathering
    from the west in their tracks.
[15:21] ---
    You're not getting by us.
[15:23] ---
    Let me tell you something!
[15:25] ---
    That our Demon King...
[15:26] ---
    - ...has no desire for war!
    - ...has no desire for war!
[15:33] ---
    Fan Union, focus on supporting the rearguard.
[15:37] ---
    Lay and Misa, you two demolish
    the troops in the east.
[15:45] ---
    Don't let them cross the border!
[16:08] ---
    Lay...
[16:10] ---
    I owe you one.
[16:17] ---
    Reinforcements?
[16:19] ---
    They look pretty formidable.
[16:21] ---
    Hide!
[16:23] ---
    I'll fight, too!
[16:35] ---
    Melheis, you and your men subdue
    the Seven Elder Demon Emperors.
[16:39] ---
    I'll take out Avos Dilhevia...
[16:42] ---
    myself.
[16:44] ---
    I believe you'll find him in there.
[16:53] ---
    E-Enemy attack!
[16:54] ---
    The Demon King Subjugation Army?
    When did they get here?
[16:57] ---
    N-No!
[16:59] ---
    They're not humans!
[17:00] ---
    S-Sir Melheis and the Seven Elder
    Demon Emperors are...
[17:06] ---
    Tell Avos Dilhevia for me.
[17:09] ---
    I'm the true Demon King.
[17:12] ---
    Th-The Seven Elder Demon Emperors would never
    take aim at the Demon King of Tyranny!
[17:16] ---
    Get him!
[17:19] ---
    If it's beyond your grasp,
    let me enlighten you...
[17:21] ---
    about true power!
[17:31] ---
    So, they're coming?
[17:32] ---
    Just leave this to us.
[17:35] ---
    Please head to his castle, Sir Anos.
[17:37] ---
    Right.
[17:46] ---
    Does this mean, "Come in"?
[17:48] ---
    Sir Anos!
[17:50] ---
    It's Lay!
[17:53] ---
    I can't find Lay anywhere!
[17:56] ---
    Lay's gone?
[17:58] ---
    Sir Anos...
[17:59] ---
    I've captured Medoin, Zorro and Eldora,
    who were being manipulated by Avos.
[18:05] ---
    They should be fused
    with the source of Avos' subordinate.
[18:12] ---
    But it looks like the source
    has abandoned its hosts and fled.
[18:16] ---
    Would you like to deal
    with Avos Dilhevia later?
[18:20] ---
    No.
[18:21] ---
    He's not here.
[18:43] ---
    I knew you'd come here.
[19:24] ---
    It's been two thousand years, huh...
[19:26] ---
    Hero Kanon?
[19:30] ---
    No, I stand corrected.
[19:33] ---
    You came here earlier
    to fulfill your promise, didn't you?
[21:30] ---
    How did you figure it out?
[21:33] ---
    I thought I made you think I was dead.
[21:35] ---
    It was this.
[21:37] ---
    Surely, you'd have lost
    all of your memories of your past life...
[21:40] ---
    yet you looked at this necklace and said,
    "I'll take these single-shell ones."
[21:45] ---
    Unless you knew about the Azeshion myth
    about these necklaces,
[21:49] ---
    you wouldn't have called this a "single-shell."
[21:52] ---
    Meaning that you did remember your past.
[21:56] ---
    And for some reason,
    you were concealing that fact.
[22:00] ---
    Shin would never lie to me.
[22:03] ---
    So, who are you?
[22:05] ---
    I know of no demon able to wield
    both a Unique Sword and a Holy Sword.
[22:09] ---
    But if that great Hero
    had resurrected himself as a demon,
[22:14] ---
    then it would make sense
    that he could wield both.
[22:17] ---
    I see.
[22:21] ---
    Not that I had any proof.
[22:24] ---
    Even if you are Kanon, there's no reason
    for you not to reveal yourself.
[22:28] ---
    Normally, that is.
[22:30] ---
    Perhaps you were afraid
    of being asked this question?
[22:34] ---
    "You only have one source left.
    What did you do with the other six?"
[22:39] ---
    Avos Dilhevia had fused the sources
    of every Demon Emperor but Melheis.
[22:45] ---
    Along with yours,
    that would make seven in all.
[22:48] ---
    Just like Hero Kanon.
[22:51] ---
    Most likely, you didn't want me to find out
    that you'd been playing the role
[22:55] ---
    of the fake Demon King, Avos Dilhevia.
[22:58] ---
    Even so, there were
    numerous unforeseen circumstances.
[23:02] ---
    Misha being born through Dino Jixes...
[23:04] ---
    What happened
    at the Magic Sword Tournament...
[23:06] ---
    Those weren't part of your plans.
[23:09] ---
    I don't know your back story...
[23:11] ---
    but even those tears you shed
    trying to save your mother seemed genuine to me.
[23:15] ---
    Right.
[23:17] ---
    So, you must be trying to save something now,
    too, as you play the fake Demon King.
[23:24] ---
    Kanon, what happened
    two thousand years ago?
[23:27] ---
    It was just like you said.
[23:30] ---
    The humans were weak, Anos.
