[00:04] Pope
    You've put on quite the
    amusing farce, but enough.
[00:12] Pope
    For the false Spear Hero
[00:14] Pope
    and for the Devil of the Shield,
[00:16] Pope
    clinging so desperately
    to life, like a cockroach,
[00:19] Pope
    the purification of Holy Judgment.
[00:23] Pope
    And...
[00:25] Pope
    For this country, righteous order!
[00:32] Melromarc
    Watch out, Naofumi!
[00:33] Melromarc
    That sword is...
[00:51] Naofumi
    What power!
[00:53] Naofumi
    The impact's making my arms go numb!
[01:00] Pope
    For a devil, you are pretty tough.
[01:08] Pope
    That'll be enough trial shots.
[01:10] Pope
    Now face the real thing.
[01:21] Myne
    Wh-What?
[01:23] Melromarc
    I-Is that...
SIGN    The Rising of the Shield Hero
SIGN    The Four Cardinal Heroes
[03:06] Motoyasu
    H-Hey! That sword turned into a spear!
[03:11] Melromarc
    There's no mistaking it.
[03:12] Melromarc
    That's a replica of the Cardinal Weapons!
[03:16] Raphtalia
    A... replica?
[03:20] Melromarc
    In the past,
[03:21] Melromarc
    an attempt was made to duplicate the
    four weapons of the legendary heroes.
[03:27] Melromarc
    To make the ultimate weapon,
[03:30] Melromarc
    which could change forms and
    use each weapon's skills.
[03:34] Melromarc
    I was taught that it was
    lost many centuries ago.
[03:39] Motoyasu
    That's not fair!
[03:41] Motoyasu
    Say, Myne. Is it true?
[03:44] Myne
    H-How would I know?
[03:46] Melromarc
    It's so famous,
    anyone dabbling in Melromarc's
[03:51] Melromarc
    and the Church's history would know of it.
[03:53] Melromarc
    Finding it should've been huge news.
[03:56] Naofumi
    But the Three Heroes Church kept it hidden.
[03:59] Melromarc
    Maybe its loss was a lie
    made up by the Church, too.
[04:05] Naofumi
    Why'd you summon the heroes if
    you had a weapon like that?
[04:10] Melromarc
    That weapon is mighty, but it
    consumes a massive amount of mana.
[04:16] Melromarc
    Just that one swing earlier must've drained
    dozens of magicians of their mana.
[04:22] Pope
    No wonder you're first in line
    for the throne, Melty-sama.
[04:27] Pope
    You have educated yourself well.
[04:29] Pope
    Completely unlike your sister,
    who was too busy conspiring to study.
[04:37] Pope
    The mana this legendary weapon requires
[04:41] Pope
    will be provided by all the believers here.
[04:46] Pope
    My brethren, this is a battle between
    our lord and the Devil of the Shield.
[04:52] Pope
    It is a holy crusade in the name of God.
[04:57] Pope
    Offer your prayers to the legendary
    weapon imbued with divine power.
[05:03] Pope
    And we shall purge this world of the fake
    Spear Hero and the Devil of the Shield.
[05:11] Naofumi
    That'll be a pain to fight.
[05:13] Naofumi
    Melty! Can't you take those
    believers out of the equation?
[05:17] Naofumi
    Put them to sleep or something!
[05:18] Melromarc
    I haven't learned any magics
    that affect the mind.
[05:21] Melromarc
    And also...
[05:23] Melromarc
    Such a large mana pool will also
    give them high resistance.
[05:27] Melromarc
    Putting them all to sleep
    will be impossible.
[05:31] Naofumi
    There has to be something we can do.
[05:34] Motoyasu
    I shan't stand for this!
[05:36] Motoyasu
    You manipulate us for
    your own selfish goals,
[05:38] Motoyasu
    and want to get rid of us
    as soon as you're done?
[05:41] Motoyasu
    That's evil, through and through!
[05:43] Motoyasu
    As a hero, I cannot overlook it!
[05:46] Raphtalia
    Everything he says is hollow.
[05:48] Filo
    Spear guy's annoying.
[05:50] Motoyasu
    Pope, I will defeat you
[05:53] Motoyasu
    and avenge Itsuki and Ren!
[05:58] Motoyasu
    Lightning Spear!
[06:10] Motoyasu
    What? A barrier?
[06:12] Filo
    No fair!
[06:14] Melromarc
    We can't even scratch the pope unless
    we break through that force field.
[06:20] Naofumi
    Melty's right.
[06:22] Naofumi
    We need to cut off the mana supply first.
[06:25] Motoyasu
    If I can't do it alone...
[06:27] Motoyasu
    Naofumi!
[06:27] Naofumi
    Huh?
[06:29] Motoyasu
    Now is the time for us to work together.
[06:32] Motoyasu
    Let's go!
[06:33] Myne
    You will pay for the sin of turning
    against the next queen with your life.
[06:37] Adventurer
    As source of thy power, I order thee.
[06:40] Myne
    As source of thy power and the
    next queen, I order thee.
[06:43] All
    Decipher the laws of nature
    and burn my target down!
[06:44] Melromarc
    Sister...
[06:46] Filo
    Both spear guy and his party are annoying.
[06:48] Myne
    Zweit Fire!
[06:51] Naofumi
    A combo skill?
[06:53] Motoyasu
    This is the end!
[06:56] Motoyasu
    Burst...
[06:58] Motoyasu
    Flare Lance!
[07:04] Motoyasu
    Did we get him?
[07:11] Naofumi
    Nah.
[07:14] Pope
    How deplorable.
[07:17] Pope
    Instead of gracefully accepting God's mercy,
[07:20] Pope
    you pointlessly continue to resist.
[07:23] Pope
    But, of course, there will
    be no mercy for a devil.
[07:28] Motoyasu
    We'll see how pointless it is!
[07:33] Motoyasu
    Meteor Thrust!
[07:42] Motoyasu
    Even Meteor Thrust didn't work?
[07:44] Pope
    This magical barrier is impregnable.
[07:47] Pope
    It is no devil's shield, that is for sure.
[07:50] Naofumi
    Is that the believers' power, too?
[07:53] Melromarc
    They're using the massive pool of mana
    to construct a powerful magical barrier.
[07:58] Pope
    It is my turn to attack now.
[08:09] Pope
    What do you say?
[08:10] Pope
    All this power, with a simple wave of my hand!
[08:13] Motoyasu
    Using that weapon is cheating!
[08:16] Motoyasu
    Fight us fair and square!
[08:18] Pope
    This power can even annihilate a devil.
[08:22] Naofumi
    I don't know if I can block a
    full-power attack from that thing.
[08:27] Naofumi
    Not to mention, they have
    an almost limitless pool of mana.
[08:29] Naofumi
    If he unleashes a volley of
    attacks, we're finished.
[08:32] Naofumi
    What can we do?
[08:34] Pope
    The time has come to bestow
    God's mercy on our foes!
[08:38] Ren
    Hundred Swords!
[08:38] Itsuki
    Meteor Shot!
[08:51] Man
    Pope!
[08:53] Pope
    Those skills...
[09:01] Itsuki
    Looks like we made it in the nick of time.
[09:16] Myne
    Itsuki-sama!
[09:18] Myne
    Ren-sama!
[09:19] Motoyasu
    You came back to life?
[09:21] Ren
    Don't just assume we're dead.
[09:26] Ren
    Hundred Swords!
[09:35] Pope
    Have half our magicians focus
    on generating the barrier.
[09:40] Man
    Are you sure?
[09:42] Man
    It'll cause a long delay in the
    mana supply to the weapon.
[09:46] Pope
    They'll need time, too.
[09:49] Pope
    Time to understand their sins
[09:51] Pope
    and realize they must pray
    for the mercy of God.
[09:55] Man
    As you say, Your Excellency.
[10:03] Itsuki
    That's annoying.
[10:05] Motoyasu
    H-Hey, how are you guys here?
[10:09] Ren
    We did nearly get killed.
[10:11] Ren
    But their attempt failed.
[10:13] Ren
    That's all.
[10:14] Motoyasu
    "That's all"?
[10:17] Ren
    Itsuki and I didn't trust the Three Heroes Church.
[10:20] Ren
    so we began investigating them in secret.
[10:23] Ren
    One of our party members found a secret
    file in the Cathedral's archive.
[10:27] Itsuki
    It mentioned the existence of a
    replica of the Cardinal Weapons,
[10:32] Itsuki
    so we decided to check out the
    place where it was hidden.
[10:36] Itsuki
    They must have not taken kindly to that.
[10:38] Itsuki
    The Three Heroes Church
    lured us to a fake shrine
[10:43] Itsuki
    and tried to assassinate us.
[10:49] Itsuki
    We barely escaped with our lives
[10:51] Itsuki
    thanks to a squad that called themselves
    "Shadows" and said they served the Queen.
[10:59] Naofumi
    Those women were also keeping
    tabs on Itsuki and Ren?
[11:03] Itsuki
    I think the Three Heroes Church
    were the ones who stole my reward.
[11:09] Itsuki
    You were framed, Naofumi-san.
[11:13] Naofumi
    "Framed"?
[11:15] Naofumi
    You're the one who misunderstood
    and came at me!
[11:19] Motoyasu
    You were framed, huh?
[11:21] Motoyasu
    You really have zero luck.
[11:23] Naofumi
    You were trying to kill me on a
    false charge a moment ago, too!
[11:30] Itsuki
    Let's do this, Ren-san.
[11:32] Ren
    Yeah.
[11:39] Itsuki
    Meteor Shot!
[11:46] Ren
    Meteor Slash!
[11:56] Pope
    That consumed too much mana!
[11:58] Bishop
    The pope's weapon!
[12:00] Bishop
    Will he be all right?
[12:02] Ren
    The queen's punitive
    force will be here soon.
[12:06] Naofumi
    The queen?
[12:07] Melromarc
    Mother's coming here?!
[12:09] Itsuki
    Yes. A Shadow tipped us off.
[12:12] Itsuki
    Surrender at once, and I'm sure
    the queen will have mercy on you!
[12:17] Ren
    Drop your weapons and surrender!
[12:20] Bishop
    Did he just say "punitive force"?
[12:21] Bishop
    What's happening?
[12:23] Pope
    Fret not!
[12:25] Pope
    As I said earlier, this is a battle
    between God and the Devil.
[12:29] Pope
    Of course it will be difficult.
[12:32] Pope
    However, our victory is guaranteed.
[12:35] Pope
    After all, we are the ones
    blessed by God.
[12:41] Pope
    The queen's punitive force
    is nothing to fear.
[12:45] Pope
    And it matters not how
    many false heroes gather.
[12:47] Pope
    They are no match for us,
[12:49] Pope
    with our legendary weapon
    and our faith in God!
[12:53] Bishop
    Pope!
[12:55] Bishop
    We'll follow God and you to the end!
[13:03] Motoyasu
    What's wrong with them?
[13:05] Motoyasu
    We're the legendary heroes.
[13:07] Itsuki
    Looks like they need to be taught a lesson.
[13:10] Ren
    If words won't get through to them,
     we'll have to fight.
[13:13] Motoyasu
    Yeah. As much as I hate it,
     this is an emergency.
[13:17] Motoyasu
    I'll even take your help.
[13:20] Ren
    Shall we, the four heroes...
[13:22] Itsuki
    ...present a united front?
[13:26] Naofumi
    Melty, you provide magic support.
[13:28] Melromarc
    Got it.
[13:29] Ren
    Naofumi, what are you doing?
[13:31] Naofumi
    I'm not gonna play along with you idiots.
[13:33] Motoyasu
    Hey, don't be selfish!
[13:36] Naofumi
    I don't wanna hear that from the guy who
    tried to kill me when I refused to fight.
[13:40] Itsuki
    But don't you think
[13:42] Itsuki
    it's far too selfish to fight
    alone in this situation?
[13:47] Ren
    Yeah, we can't win if we
    don't fight together.
[13:50] Naofumi
    We can survive without your help.
[13:53] Motoyasu
    No, you'll die for sure!
[13:55] Motoyasu
    And you'll die framed for
    a crime you didn't commit!
[13:58] Motoyasu
    Are you okay with that?
[14:01] Raphtalia
    You, of all people,
    have no right to say that.
[14:05] Filo
    Spear guy's so annoying.
[14:07] Naofumi
    You're the ones who let the
    Three Heroes Church throw their weight around!
[14:12] Naofumi
    Myne, who fell for the Church's schemes
[14:15] Naofumi
    and did whatever the hell she wanted,
     is most at fault.
[14:19] Naofumi
    But Motoyasu, you're just as guilty
    for letting her take you for a ride.
[14:24] Myne
    Wait a second! Me, deceive Motoyasu-sama?
[14:27] Myne
    Quit making baseless accusations!
[14:29] Melromarc
    But it seems the Spear Hero had no idea
[14:32] Melromarc
    what you were trying to do, Sister.
[14:36] Motoyasu
    Y-Yeah! All I did was trust
    in a member of my party!
[14:41] Motoyasu
    I didn't do anything wro...
[14:43] Naofumi
    Accepting everything someone says blindly
    without thinking for yourself
[14:47] Naofumi
    is completely different from trusting them.
[14:49] Naofumi
    If you'd used your brain even a little,
[14:51] Naofumi
    things wouldn't have come to this.
[14:54] Ren
    Naofumi's right.
[14:56] Itsuki
    There, there.
    Motoyasu-san feels bad about it, too.
[15:00] Itsuki
    Give him a break for me.
[15:02] Naofumi
    You two are no different.
[15:05] Naofumi
    As I mentioned before,
    after you killed that dragon,
[15:09] Naofumi
    its rotten flesh poisoned the air and
    nearly wiped out an entire village.
[15:13] Ren
    That's...
[15:15] Naofumi
    Sure, in video games,
    monsters you kill just disappear.
[15:18] Naofumi
    Their corpses don't remain and rot away.
[15:20] Naofumi
    But this is reality.
[15:22] Naofumi
    You should've faced up to that fact.
[15:26] Naofumi
    And Itsuki, your little
    secret vigilante adventure
[15:29] Naofumi
    forced people to become refugees
    and live in abject poverty.
[15:33] Itsuki
    But if I hadn't taught that lord a lesson,
    the people would've suffered forever!
[15:37] Naofumi
    Hero powers won't solve everything.
[15:39] Naofumi
    You could've used your standing as a hero
    to pressure the people in charge.
[15:44] Itsuki
    Wha...
[15:45] Naofumi
    You should've spared a moment to think
    about how best to use your powers.
[15:50] Melromarc
    Decipher the laws of nature and
    grant my target water's protection.
[15:55] Melromarc
    Aqua Shield.
[16:00] Naofumi
    Give Raphtalia and Filo shields, too.
[16:02] Naofumi
    Your thoughtless actions
[16:05] Naofumi
    are what let the Church think they could get away with this.
[16:08] Itsuki
    Wh-What were you doing, then?
[16:12] Raphtalia
    Sorting out your messes.
[16:14] Filo
    Master was always mad,
    saying he had to clean up after you.
[16:18] Ren
    Cleaning up after us?
[16:20] Motoyasu
    Y-Yeah! It's your fault!
[16:22] Itsuki
    You're one to talk!
[16:25] Itsuki
    I wish you would understand your
    current position a little.
[16:29] Ren
    Instead of fighting, you just wrapped
    yourself around your girl's fingers.
[16:36] Motoyasu
    Leave the girls out of this!
[16:38] Motoyasu
    We're talking about all the trouble
    you caused Naofumi right now!
[16:44] Naofumi
    If you wanna talk about trouble...
[16:47] Naofumi
    How about the time you thoughtlessly
    passed out a sealed seed
[16:51] Naofumi
    and let an entire area be overrun by vines?
     You caused the most trouble!
[16:55] Motoyasu
    I-I only did that because the
    villagers asked for help.
[16:58] Naofumi
    Sure, they had a legend saying
    the seed was dangerous,
[17:02] Naofumi
    so the villagers are at fault for taking
    it just because a hero gave it to them, too.
[17:06] Motoyasu
    Right?
[17:07] Naofumi
    It just goes to show how immense the
    people's trust in the heroes is.
[17:11] Naofumi
    You should've been more aware of that.
[17:14] Naofumi
    You three let your hero's
    welcome go to your heads
[17:17] Naofumi
    and didn't spare a thought for anybody else.
[17:19] Naofumi
    As a result,
[17:22] Naofumi
    instead of teaming up to fight the Wave,
     you just embarrassed yourselves.
[17:27] Naofumi
    Maybe you couldn't have taken that Glass woman,
[17:29] Naofumi
    but you could've easily defeated the
    Soul Eater if you'd worked together.
[17:36] Naofumi
    As the Pope says,
[17:37] Naofumi
    it wouldn't be surprising if the
    people got sick of heroes like you.
[17:40] Filo
    I don't really get it, but I do
    know it's the spear guy's fault.
[17:44] Motoyasu
    F... Filo-chan!
[17:46] Motoyasu
    Don't say that! I was doing my best!
[17:49] Filo
    Huh? Master was working harder, though.
[17:54] Pope
    Dear me. I can hardly bear to watch.
[17:59] Pope
    You're fighting among
    yourselves in this situation?
[18:02] Pope
    Our so-called heroes are an utter disgrace.
[18:07] Pope
    You really should be cleansed at once.
[18:11] Pope
    Fortunately, you gave us time
    to generate enough mana.
[18:15] Pope
    Farewell, fake heroes!
    And goodbye, Devil of the Shield!
[18:23] Melromarc
    I knew he'd use a magic attack!
[18:24] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama,
[18:25] Raphtalia
    here it comes.
[18:27] Pope
    Brionac!
[18:40] Naofumi
    You're the same.
[18:44] Naofumi
    In my eyes, you and that
    pope are no different.
[18:47] Naofumi
    You use and abuse people
    for your own benefit.
[18:51] Naofumi
    You brandish your powers for "justice,"
[18:53] Naofumi
    without caring about the consequences.
[18:56] Naofumi
    You see nothing wrong with that!
[18:58] Naofumi
    And more than anything...
[19:00] Naofumi
    You try to take the things
     I hold dear from me.
[19:04] Naofumi
    You people are scum.
[19:17] (Flashback) Fitoria
    It is unacceptable for
    heroes to be fighting.
[19:20] (Flashback) Naofumi
    I'll give it my best shot,
    but don't get your hopes up.
[19:33] Fitoria
    Shield Hero, please...
[19:38] Naofumi
    But...
[19:40] Naofumi
    I'll work with you until we take
    him out and get out of here alive.
[19:44] Ren
    Naofumi...
[19:45] Naofumi
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[19:46] Naofumi
    I haven't forgiven you.
[19:48] Naofumi
    But...
[19:50] Naofumi
    I did make Fitoria a promise.
[19:54] Itsuki
    The four heroes finally stand together now.
[19:58] Ren
    Yeah.
[19:59] Motoyasu
    Don't hold me back, you guys.
[20:01] Ren
    Right back at you.
[20:05] Naofumi
    It's only until this battle is over.
[20:08] Raphtalia
    Sure. I think that's for the best.
[20:10] Melromarc
    We need to do something about the
    Pope and live to meet Mother.
[20:15] Filo
    I'll do my best!
[20:20] Motoyasu
    Lend me your strength, girls.
[20:22] Adventurer
    Right!
[20:22] Myne
    Of course, Motoyasu-sama.
[20:25] Ren
    Let's do this.
[20:26] Itsuki
    Let's show them what we heroes are made of.
[20:30] Naofumi
    Raphtalia, Filo, Melty! Let's go!
[20:32] All
    Right!
[20:38] Pope
    Fighting together with
    the Devil of the Shield?
[20:41] Pope
    A foolish act befitting the fake heroes.
[20:44] Pope
    You leave me no choice but to purge you.
[20:47] Pope
    Not a trace of you must remain.
[20:50] Bishop
    We pray to our God, the source of all power.
[20:54] Bishop
