**[00:02] Naofumi**
*Before I was summoned to another world,*
**[00:04] Naofumi**
* I was an ordinary otaku who dabbled*
* in a little bit of everything.*
**[00:10] Kyo**
* The real world is a shithole.*
* I don't belong here.*
**[00:14] Kyo**
* And my games were the one thing*
* that helped me forget that.*
**[00:18] Naofumi**
* I spent most of my time*
* selling items to relax,*
**[00:20] Naofumi**
* but sometimes I'd lead clans*
* doing high-difficulty content.*
**[00:25] Kyo**
*I was a genius!*
**[00:27] Kyo**
*I could do anything!*
**[00:28] Kyo**
* My experiments and inventions made me*
* famous throughout the whole country!*
**[00:32] Naofumi**
* Online games were just one of many*
* things I enjoyed as an otaku.*

***SIGN*** Diedie i'll kill you all die
***SIGN*** Name: Nameless Vagrant
***SIGN*** somebody ban this loser
***SIGN*** Name: Nameless Vagrant
**[00:37] Kyo**
*Games were all I had.*
**[00:40] Kyo**
*My life in those games was my reality!*
***SIGN*** I hacked your IP
**[00:43] Naofumi**
* My life was an ordinary one,*
* and I thought it would last forever.*
**[00:48] Kyo**
*I wanted to wake up from this nightmare.*
**[00:53] Naofumi**
*So what am I doing here?*
**[00:57] Naofumi**
*I'm here in a totally new world, and I...*
**[01:01] Naofumi**
*I'm just doing what they told me to!*
**[01:06] Kyo**
*I'm not wasting my time with that crap!*
**[01:09] Kyo**
*This is the second life I wanted!*
**[01:12] Kyo**
*So I'm gonna seize it for all its worth!*
**[01:17] Kyo**
Different worlds, ruled by different laws.
**[01:21] Kyo**
Shatter their different barriers
and manifest its power here!
**[01:26] Kyo**
The Wave of Calamity, Dimension Wave!
***SIGN*** The Rising of the Shield Hero
**[01:35] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-san, this is...
***SIGN*** Episode 12 Reason to Fight
**[01:37] Naofumi**
Yes! That's a Wave!
**[01:40] Raphtalia**
Then the others...
**[01:42] Naofumi**
They were sent to the Wave because they're this
world's Cardinal Heroes and their followers.
**[01:47] Raphtalia**
No...
**[01:48] Naofumi**
There was still time!
**[01:50] Naofumi**
Why?
**[01:52] Filo**
Look, Master!
***SIGN*** Get in, everyone!
**[02:02] Naofumi**
Where are the others?
***SIGN*** They stayed to help with the Waves.
**[02:09] Yomogi**
It's all Kyo's doing...
**[02:12] Yomogi**
He used the power he stole from the
Spirit Tortoise to create a Wave!
**[02:21] Naofumi**
You knew, and you still helped him?
**[02:27] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[02:29] Yomogi**
But I didn't think he'd do this!
**[02:34] Yomogi**
I thought he'd use the Spirit Tortoise's power
to protect this world from the Waves!
**[02:43] Naofumi**
So, what are you even doing here?
**[02:47] Yomogi**
Kizuna told me...
**[02:50] Yomogi**
they'd handle the Waves.
**[02:53] Yomogi**
And that I should help you instead.
**[02:56] Yomogi**
Kizuna believed in me,
even though I'm a fool.
**[03:01] Yomogi**
For her sake, I will throw aside my
pride and bring the Shield Hero to Kyo!
***SIGN*** As the Wielder of the Boat Vassal Weapon, I will bring you to Kyo.
**[03:13] Naofumi**
All right.
**[03:15] Naofumi**
Take me to where that bastard's waiting!
**[03:20] Kizuna**
Bait Lure!
**[03:24] Glass**
Blank-Stance Rondo: Moon Break!
**[03:32] Kizuna**
Thanks, Glass!
**[03:33] Glass**
It was nothing...
**[03:35] L'Arc**
They just keep coming!
**[03:37] L'Arc**
How do we stop this?
**[03:39] Glass**
We may need to defeat Kyo,
the one who summoned it!
**[03:45] Kizuna**
Naofumi...
**[03:49] Naofumi**
This is it?
**[03:52] Yomogi**
Kyo's lab.
**[03:55] Naofumi**
Thank you, Ethnobalt!
**[03:57] Naofumi**
We'll handle the rest!
**[04:00] Naofumi**
The others have seen
the Waves, but Kizuna hasn't.
**[04:04] Naofumi**
She'll feel a lot better with you there.
***SIGN*** All right.
***SIGN*** Stay safe, everyone!
**[04:11] Rishia**
You too, Ethnobalt!
**[04:18] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[04:23] Naofumi**
These are all used in
Kyo's experiments, huh?
**[04:27] Yomogi**
Yes, that's right.
**[04:33] Girl B**
Vengeance... Vengeance for Kazuki-sama!
**[04:37] Raphtalia**
These are...
**[04:39] Yomogi**
Chimeras?
**[04:40] Yomogi**
A fusion of a human and a Byakko copy?
**[04:44] Yomogi**
Kyo!
**[04:48] Rishia**
That's...
**[04:49] Rishia**
The same sword Yomogi-san was using?
**[04:52] Girl B**
We'll defeat you...
**[04:54] Girl B**
If we defeat you, Kazuki-sama will come back!
**[04:57] Girl B**
Kyo promised us!
**[05:00] Naofumi**
So he talked them into
being sacrificial pawns?
**[05:04] Naofumi**
Like he did with you?
**[05:06] Yomogi**
Stop...
**[05:07] Yomogi**
That won't bring your master back!
**[05:13] Raphtalia**
I'm sorry, but...
**[05:15] Raphtalia**
We don't have time to waste here!
**[05:25] Girl B**
It only took an instant?
**[05:27] Raphtalia**
I think it's because of the
jewel that Therese-san gave me!
**[05:31] Naofumi**
It gives you the same power
as Filo's High Quick?
**[05:35] Filo**
I'm fast, too!
**[05:40] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama...
**[05:43] Girl B**
For Kazuki-sama...
**[05:47] Naofumi**
No!
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield!
**[05:49] Naofumi**
Second Shield!
**[05:51] Naofumi**
Dritte Shield!
**[05:52] Naofumi**
Shield Prison!
**[05:54] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[06:07] Naofumi**
Are you guys okay?
**[06:08] Raphtalia**
Yes!
**[06:09] Rishia**
I think so...
**[06:12] Filo**
It's so dusty!
**[06:18] Kyo**
Well, so much for this lab!
**[06:22] Kyo**
But you still screwed it up,
like everybody else.
**[06:26] Kyo**
You're all useless.
**[06:27] Yomogi**
Kyo!
**[06:28] Kyo**
Hey there, Shield Shithead!
**[06:31] Kyo**
I'm not happy at all to see you again.
**[06:34] Naofumi**
Agreed.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
But coming here was the
only way to kick your ass.
**[06:45] Girl B**
Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
**[06:49] Kyo**
See! I brought him back!
**[06:53] Yomogi**
That's impossible...
**[06:56] Naofumi**
A mirror?
**[06:58] Yomogi**
He didn't come back to life!
**[07:01] Yomogi**
That's a homunculus Kyo made!
**[07:05] Yomogi**
The soul that dwelled in his
body during life is gone!
**[07:09] Yomogi**
The body is empty!
**[07:11] Yomogi**
He forced the soul of the Wielder of
the Mirror Vassal Weapon into it!
**[07:17] Naofumi**
What?
**[07:18] Rishia**
The Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon?
The one who went missing?
**[07:24] Kyo**
Spoiler warning, bitch.
**[07:28] Yomogi**
No blood flows through his veins.
His soul is a different person's.
**[07:32] Yomogi**
That isn't the comrade they love!
**[07:37] Girl B**
No... No!
**[07:41] Kyo**
Well, there you go.
**[07:43] Kyo**
Have fun dying against a dead guy, morons!
**[07:48] Naofumi**
I won't let you get away!
**[07:52] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[07:54] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, I can handle this.
**[07:56] Raphtalia**
I can hear the voice of the
Wielder of the Mirror Vassal Weapon.
**[08:00] Raphtalia**
He's begging to be released.
**[08:02] Yomogi**
I get it...
**[08:04] Yomogi**
The Vassal Weapon Wielders are resonating!
**[08:08] Yomogi**
Go, Shield Hero!
**[08:10] Yomogi**
And stop Kyo!
**[08:13] Filo**
I'll help!
**[08:15] Naofumi**
Okay!
**[08:17] Naofumi**
Let's go, Rishia!
**[08:19] Rishia**
Um... okay!
**[08:31] Filo**
Wow!
**[08:32] Filo**
I can fight like I did before!
**[08:42] Filo**
What is that?
**[08:43] Yomogi**
As someone who helped Kyo,
**[08:46] Yomogi**
is it my duty to put their
suffering to an end?
**[08:51] Raphtalia**
I'll liberate you now.
**[08:55] Naofumi**
Kyo!
**[09:05] Kyo**
Finally!
**[09:07] Kyo**
It's finally just the two of you!
**[09:10] Kyo**
The green-haired moron
and the Shield Shithead!
**[09:13] Kyo**
You're the two that I need to kill myself!
**[09:19] Naofumi**
So you caused that last
Wave using Ost's power?
**[09:24] Kyo**
Of course I did!
**[09:25] Kyo**
Can't you tell?
**[09:27] Kyo**
This is all that turtle's power!
**[09:30] Kyo**
I used a lot of it,
**[09:32] Kyo**
but I can just go back to
your world and get more!
**[09:38] Kyo**
Oh, but I guess the stupid turtle is dead.
**[09:42] Kyo**
So what's the other one again?
Some kind of big bird?
**[09:45] Naofumi**
Shut up.
**[09:48] Kyo**
I can't hear you—
**[09:49] Naofumi**
*Shut up*!
**[09:55] Naofumi**
I'm sick of you.
**[09:58] Naofumi**
Sick of hearing your voice, sick of
seeing that smirk on your face...
**[10:01] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[10:04] Naofumi**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[10:06] Naofumi**
Coming into our world and treating
it like it's your toy!
**[10:12] Kyo**
Right now, you're the ones in my world.
**[10:16] Kyo**
So it's "our world" now?
**[10:18] Kyo**
Guess you really are the Shield Hero now!
**[10:24] Kyo**
Yes! That's it!
**[10:26] Kyo**
That face is what I wanted to see!
**[10:29] Kyo**
I loved what I saw when I took
the demi-human girl from you!
**[10:35] Kyo**
Shame things with the bird
girl didn't work out!
**[10:38] Kyo**
She was supposed to be fried chicken
by the time you found her!
**[10:43] Kyo**
And all of that's what you get for
playing the hero and ruining my plan!
**[10:53] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[10:55] Kyo**
How do you feel right now?
**[10:57] Kyo**
Angry? Pissed off?
**[10:59] Kyo**
Ready to rip me in half?
**[11:01] Kyo**
I bet you do, don't you?
**[11:03] Kyo**
Don't you? Don't you?!
**[11:05] Naofumi**
Yeah, that's right!
**[11:07] Naofumi**
You messed with my friends!
**[11:10] Naofumi**
Now shut up, so I can kill you!
**[11:13] Kyo**
Just try it!
**[11:20] Rishia**
Naofumi-san! You can't use that!
**[11:23] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[11:28] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws born from my flesh,
**[11:31] Naofumi**
become an offering to the gods as you howl!
**[11:34] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[11:37] Dragon**
So you chose to use it.
**[11:43] Dragon**
You chose to call me, Iwatani Naofumi!
**[11:48] Dragon**
Now I will become one with you!
**[11:58] Kyo**
Haha! Look at this loser!
***SIGN*** Wrath Shield
**[12:01] Kyo**
He got so mad he let his
shield take him over!
**[12:04] Kyo**
"Friends"? You expect me
to believe that bullshit?
**[12:08] Kyo**
You control them with the Slave
Crest and Monster Crest.
**[12:12] Kyo**
If they really were your "friends,"
you wouldn't need to enslave them!
**[12:16] Rishia**
No!
**[12:17] Rishia**
Naofumi-san is...
**[12:18] Kyo**
The fact that you helped your slaves get a
bit stronger doesn't change a thing, you idiot!
**[12:26] Rishia**
Naofumi-san, stay in control!
**[12:31] Naofumi**
So what?
**[12:34] Rishia**
Naofumi-san?
**[12:36] Naofumi**
Both Raphtalia and Filo
were useless at first!
**[12:41] Naofumi**
But now they're useful!
**[12:44] Naofumi**
That's why I keep them around!
**[12:46] Naofumi**
What's wrong with that?
**[12:49] Naofumi**
But what the hell are you?
**[12:52] Naofumi**
You disgusting slut!
**[12:55] Naofumi**
You pissed me off just as much as Kyo!
**[13:00] Naofumi**
Why am I stuck taking care of a girl whose
life goal was to get into the Bow Hero's pants?
**[13:10] Naofumi**
Ugly whore!
**[13:13] Naofumi**
I'll kill you first!
**[13:18] Rishia**
I finally heard what you really think.
**[13:23] Rishia**
I always wondered what
you thought about me.
**[13:31] Rishia**
I'm okay with that.
**[13:35] Rishia**
But... Raphtalia-san and Filo-chan
are different, right?
**[13:40] Rishia**
Sure, maybe you were using them at first.
**[13:45] Rishia**
But who could blame you?
**[13:48] Rishia**
There were things you had to do, even if
it meant making them your slaves!
**[13:57] Rishia**
They understand that!
**[14:00] Rishia**
And they know that it's different now!
**[14:05] Rishia**
That you think of us as treasured friends.
**[14:11] Rishia**
So Ost-san also...
**[14:17] Rishia**
I don't know who you are,
but get out of Naofumi-san!
**[14:29] Kyo**
What are you doing?
**[14:32] Kyo**
You're ruining my show!
**[14:36] Kyo**
Forget it.
**[14:37] Kyo**
I'll just kill him while he's in crazy mode.
**[14:40] Kyo**
But of course, you'll die first!
**[14:50] Kyo**
Again? Damn it!
**[15:01] Rishia**
So even after all this, you're still
relying on the Spirit Tortoise's power?
**[15:05] Rishia**
You're weak!
**[15:07] Kyo**
What... What are you?
**[15:12] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[15:13] Rishia**
Wake up! Naofumi-san!
**[15:19] Kyo**
You *bitch*!
**[15:26] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[15:30] Dragon**
What's wrong?
**[15:31] Dragon**
Don't let that woman's words deceive you!
**[15:34] Naofumi**
No, you're the one trying to deceive me!
**[15:38] Dragon**
I'm making you an offer!
**[15:40] Dragon**
As a Cardinal Hero, it's your
task to fight the Waves!
**[15:45] Naofumi**
My task?
**[15:47] Dragon**
And for that, you need my power!
**[15:51] Dragon**
My power, which burns everything!
**[15:54] Naofumi**
Burns everything...
**[15:57] Dragon**
Yes. That's right...
**[16:03] Ost**
I told you, didn't I, Shield Hero?
**[16:06] Ost**
You don't need these flames.
**[16:09] Naofumi**
Ost?
**[16:11] Ost**
Do you intend to use those
flames to kill my friends?
**[16:16] Ost**
You decide what your task is.
**[16:25] Ost**
Now stand up.
**[16:30] Ost**
Everybody's waiting!
**[16:41] Naofumi**
Raphtalia... Filo?
**[16:51] Naofumi**
Rishia!
**[16:55] Kyo**
What?
**[16:57] Kyo**
Damn it!
**[17:00] Kyo**
I'll burn you all to ash!
**[17:03] Kyo**
Forbidden Tome: Revelation!
**[17:06] Kyo**
Die!
**[17:16] Kyo**
I bet I can keep this
up longer than you can!
**[17:24] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[17:24] Filo**
Master!
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Thanks, Raphtalia! Filo!
**[17:31] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[17:32] Naofumi**
You too, Rishia!
**[17:34] Naofumi**
You stopped the Wrath Shield,
and my anger, from taking me over!
**[17:39] Naofumi**
But this anger, this pain, this sorrow...
**[17:43] Naofumi**
I have to accept it and move forward!
**[17:48] Kyo**
The Mirror Vassal Weapon?
**[17:51] Naofumi**
Ost was right!
**[17:53] Naofumi**
I'll decide my task!
**[17:57] Naofumi**
Kyo Ethnina!
**[17:59] Naofumi**
Sorry for playing hero
and ruining your plans.
**[18:04] Naofumi**
I'm sure you had your reasons
for thinking this was right...
**[18:08] Naofumi**
So I'm not doing this for the sake of
some great task or for what's right!
**[18:13] Naofumi**
I'm doing it for myself!
Of my own free will!
**[18:16] Naofumi**
I will defeat you!
**[18:31] Kyo**
Great!
**[18:32] Kyo**
Enjoy your victory!
**[18:35] Kyo**
Guys like you always end up looking
like fools in the end!
**[18:40] Kyo**
As you'll find out soon!
**[18:59] Naofumi**
This is...
**[19:10] Raphtalia**
Ost-san?
**[19:13] Yomogi**
Shield Hero... and his followers!
**[19:18] Yomogi**
Thank you... for defeating Kyo!
**[19:23] Kizuna**
Hey! Hey!
**[19:34] Kizuna**
I see.
**[19:35] Kizuna**
So Kyo's dead, huh?
**[19:38] L'Arc**
We found the missing Mirror Vassal Weapon, too.
**[19:41] L'Arc**
We won't have to worry
about the war for now.
**[19:43] Therese**
Now it's time for the king to show
us what he can do, huh, L'Arc?
**[19:46] Naofumi**
Good luck with that, young master.
**[19:48] L'Arc**
Stop calling me that, lad!
**[19:50] Glass**
What will you do now, Naofumi?
**[19:53] Naofumi**
I don't know.
**[19:54] Naofumi**
I thought that I had to ride the
Wave home, the same way you did.
**[19:58] Kizuna**
But now it's gone.
**[20:00] Kizuna**
And there's about...
a month until the next one.
**[20:04] Kizuna**
Why not relax here a little until it comes?
**[20:06] Naofumi**
I guess I don't have a choice.
**[20:08] L'Arc**
Sounds great!
**[20:10] L'Arc**
Let's head back to the
castle and have a banquet!
**[20:12] Kizuna**
Sounds great!
**[20:14] Kizuna**
Let's go fishing, too!
**[20:16] Kizuna**
I was hoping we could—
**[20:19] Kizuna**
Naofumi?
***SIGN*** Mission Complete
Retrieved the Spirit Tortoise's power
**[20:20] Naofumi**
Looks like we can go home after all.
**[20:24] Naofumi**
There's not even a minute left.
**[20:27] Raphtalia**
Thank you for everything!
**[20:28] Rishia**
Um, let's meet again!
**[20:31] Filo**
Bye!
**[20:33] Kizuna**
Wait!
**[20:34] Kizuna**
What about the fishing? And the banquet?
**[20:37] L'Arc**
Don't be ridiculous, Kizuna.
**[20:40] Kizuna**
No...
**[20:41] Naofumi**
Well, I kind of saw it coming.
**[20:43] Kizuna**
Naofumi, you jerk!
**[20:46] Kizuna**
I haven't even thanked you!
**[20:53] Kizuna**
Thank you.
**[20:54] Kizuna**
Thank you, Naofumi!
**[20:56] Kizuna**
As one of the Cardinal Heroes,
I'll do my best here!
**[21:00] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[21:02] Kizuna**
Can I come see you sometimes?
**[21:05] Kizuna**
I mean, I don't know if I even can.
**[21:07] Naofumi**
Yeah. You're welcome, as long as
you're not coming to kill me.
**[21:10] Kizuna**
Dummy... You know I wouldn't...
**[21:13] Naofumi**
See you around, Kizuna.
**[21:25] Kizuna**
Up until the last minute, Naofumi was...
**[22:33] Naofumi**
*After I returned home,*
**[22:36] Naofumi**
* I was given a medal by the queen*
* for defeating the Spirit Tortoise,*
**[22:40] Naofumi**
