[00:13] Shadow
    Your Majesty.
[00:15] Shadow
    If I may, you don't have to go yourself.
[00:19] Mirelia
    This is a crisis that may affect the
    country's—no, the entire world's survival.
[00:24] Mirelia
    I've not become so feeble in my old age
    that I must simply wait here for news.
[00:29] Shadow
    As you wish.
[00:31] Mirelia
    I apologize for the trouble.
[00:33] Shadow
    Oh, no.
[00:34] Shadow
    We wouldn't have it any other way, my lady.
[00:55] Mirelia
    We shall now put down
[00:56] Mirelia
    the traitorous Three Heroes Church's Pope,
[00:59] Mirelia
    Bisca T. Balmus, and his followers!
[01:03] ---
    Yes, my lady!
[01:04] Mirelia
    We leave immediately! Move the cavalry out!
[01:11] Mirelia
    Please, just survive a little longer, Shield Hero... and Melty.

[01:35] Pope
    High-Level Multi-Caster Defense Magic:
[01:39] Pope
    Cathedral!
[02:13] Ren
    Thunderbolt Slash!
[02:15] Itsuki
    Thunder Shot!
[02:21] Naofumi
    Filo! Raphtalia!
[02:23] Raphtalia
    Right!
[02:23] Filo
    'Kay!
[02:29] Filo
    High Quick!
[02:41] Bishop
    Heal my target!
[02:43] Bishop
    Zweit Heal!
[02:52] Naofumi
    One more time, Filo.
[02:54] Filo
    'Kay!
[02:55] Naofumi
    You're coming too, Motoyasu!
[02:58] Myne
    Motoyasu-sama!
[02:59] Melromarc
    Zweit Aqua Shell!
[03:05] Melromarc
    Sister, focus!
[03:08] Naofumi
    Motoyasu, attack me when
    we get near the Pope.
[03:12] Motoyasu
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[03:13] Naofumi
    Let's go!
[03:17] Naofumi
    Now!
[03:18] Motoyasu
    Fine!
[03:22] Naofumi
    Eat this!
[03:36] Naofumi
    He dispelled that curse in an instant?
[03:38] Pope
    Curses are meaningless
    within this Cathedral.
[03:42] Pope
    After all, this is hallowed ground, blessed by God.
[03:56] Melromarc
    What strength!
[03:59] Pope
    Do you hear me, Bishop?
[04:02] Pope
    In order to show the might of God, I need
    further prayers from the believers.
[04:07] Bishop
    But sir, almost a third of them
    have already run out of mana.
[04:13] Bishop
    If they keep going,
    their lives may be in danger.
[04:16] Pope
    Is that a problem?
[04:19] Pope
    This is a battle between God and the Devil.
[04:22] Pope
    Perishing as martyrs here
[04:26] Pope
    is the greatest honor for one of the
    Three Heroes Church's disciples.
[04:30] Bishop
    As you say.
[04:33] Bishop
    Everyone, provide the Pope with more prayers!
[04:38] Raphtalia
    How could he say something so awful to
    the people who trusted and followed him?
[04:43] Melromarc
    They'll probably still
    follow his orders, though.
[04:47] Pope
    Indeed.
[04:48] Pope
    We are one in body and soul.
[04:51] Pope
    With their prayers and the sacred
    weapon's greatest attack,
[04:56] Pope
    I shall grant you all complete purification.
[05:00] Pope
    It is the greatest mercy
    that God may bestow.
[05:05] Filo
    This feels wrong.
[05:08] Melromarc
    He's building up mana.
[05:10] Melromarc
    If the light reaches all
    the way up to the top...
[05:14] Itsuki
    ...a huge attack will follow, right?
[05:17] Motoyasu
    Hey, can't your shield
    do something about it?
[05:21] Naofumi
    Huh?
[05:22] Motoyasu
    I mean, your shield seems overpowered.
[05:25] Naofumi
    Look here...
[05:27] Itsuki
    True.
[05:29] Itsuki
    You're underleveled compared to us,
    and yet you're keeping up with us.
[05:32] Itsuki
    Isn't that because of your shield?
[05:34] Naofumi
    You idiots just aren't making
    good use of your weapons!
[05:38] Ren
    Got any special skills?
[05:40] Naofumi
    As if there'd be...
[05:45] Naofumi
    What is this?
[05:50] (Flashback) Fitoria
    The Shield of the Curse Series
    is like a double-edged sword.
[05:54] (Flashback) Fitoria
    Don't use it anymore.
[05:57] Ren
    Naofumi?
[06:04] Naofumi
    This will be quite the gamble,
    but it could work.
[06:08] Motoyasu
    See?
[06:11] Raphtalia
    Will you use that power again?
[06:14] Naofumi
    Yeah.
[06:15] Naofumi
    It went fine before, so I'm sure
    I can come back this time, too.
[06:20] Raphtalia
    Okay. I believe in you.
[06:22] Filo
    Me too.
[06:37] Dragon
    You made the right choice in
    releasing me from my shackles.
[06:50] Dragon
    Let the anger take you over,
    and you won't suffer.
[06:55] Naofumi
    I... refuse!
[07:06] Naofumi
    I won't let your anger overtake me!
[07:12] Dragon
    It isn't simply my anger, the anger of a dragon.
[07:17] Dragon
    It wells up from within your heart.
[07:20] Naofumi
    What?
[07:30] Dragon
    Your anger at being set up.
[07:33] Dragon
    Your anger at the shame and
    humiliation you were put through.
[07:39] Dragon
    Your anger at being continually persecuted,
    not even being given a chance to defend yourself.
[07:45] Dragon
    It is all your own.
[07:49] Naofumi
    Mine?
[07:51] Dragon
    Release every last drop of your
    pent-up anger and hatred.
[07:57] Naofumi
    Every last drop...
[08:00] Dragon
    Hit your foes with all the
    anger you have felt until now.
[08:04] Dragon
    I'll give you the power to do that.
[08:07] Naofumi
    Power!
[08:11] Naofumi
    No! I can't fall for his words!
[08:14] Naofumi
    This power...
[08:15] Dragon
    It tasted sweet, did it not?
[08:19] Dragon
    With the power of the cursed flame,
[08:22] Dragon
    you could make your foes submit
     and walk all over them.
[08:27] Dragon
    It was pleasant, was it not?
[08:29] Dragon
    You felt fulfilled, did you not?
[08:32] Naofumi
    That's...
[08:35] Dragon
    Show your rage! Seek more power!
[08:38] Dragon
    And burn everything in your path!
[08:42] Naofumi
    Burn...
[08:45] Naofumi
    I'll burn everything!
[08:49] Dragon
    Very nice, human!
[08:52] Dragon
    Your rage puts even mine to shame.
[09:06] Ren
    Hey, Naofumi!
[09:08] Motoyasu
    Please don't tell me you really
    became the Devil of the Shield.
[09:14] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[09:23] Naofumi
    I'll burn everything.
[09:26] Naofumi
    If I burn it all down, it'll be over.
[09:29] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[09:30] Naofumi
    I can let my anger take over
    and destroy everything.
[09:35] Filo
    Master!
[09:36] Naofumi
    I have the power to do that now.
[09:39] Naofumi
    I'll use it to...
[09:41] Melromarc
    Naofumi!
[09:50] Naofumi
    You're so annoying! Don't try to stop me!
[09:54] Filo
    Master, do you really hate everything?
[09:58] Naofumi
    What is this voice?
[10:01] Raphtalia
    Did your travels with us
    truly mean nothing at all?
[10:05] Naofumi
    Travels?
[10:08] Raphtalia
    I was terrified at first.
[10:11] Raphtalia
    I was sure you would treat
    me like an object, like everyone else.
[10:15] Raphtalia
    But you were nice to me.
[10:17] Raphtalia
    You cared for me.
[10:19] Raphtalia
    You scolded me when I went wrong,
    and protected me.
[10:22] Raphtalia
    That is why I vowed to stand with you.
[10:25] Filo
    You raised me since the moment I was born.
[10:30] Filo
    You gave me the wagon, and all
    the fun and neat things in my life.
[10:35] Filo
    You gave me everything I love.
[10:42] Melromarc
    You were stubborn, never listened
    to me, and kept making fun of me.
[10:46] Melromarc
    But when you promised to keep
    me safe and did just that,
[10:49] Melromarc
    and saw me for the person I am
    and not just as a princess,
[10:54] Melromarc
    it made me so happy.
[11:01] Naofumi
    That's right. I was on a journey...
[11:05] Naofumi
    With friends I held dear
    and swore to protect.
[11:11] Melromarc
    You're never open about your feelings, so we can
    never tell what you're thinking.
[11:16] Melromarc
    But we do know that you
    care very deeply for us.
[11:21] Filo
    I love you, Master.
[11:24] Filo
    So I'm gonna eat up all
    your bad feelings.
[11:30] Melromarc
    I'll do all I can to share in your pain.
[11:34] Raphtalia
    I'll cut through all your sorrow.
[11:38] Raphtalia
    After all, I am your sword.
[11:50] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[11:55] Naofumi
    You guys...
[11:57] Raphtalia
    Thank goodness. You came back to us again.
[12:01] Filo
    Master!
[12:03] Melromarc
    Stop causing us so much trouble.
[12:07] Naofumi
    I'm sorry! I hurt you all again!
[12:10] Raphtalia
    They weren't wrong.
[12:12] Raphtalia
    The path you chose
[12:15] Raphtalia
    and the road we traveled down
    were definitely the right ones!
[12:22] Naofumi
    Raphtalia...
[12:24] Filo
    I'll eat up your negative
    feelings again and again!
[12:29] Naofumi
    Filo...
[12:30] Melromarc
    If you understand, hurry up
    and come up with a plan.
[12:34] Melromarc
    We're in the middle of a battle.
[12:36] Naofumi
    Got it, Melty.
[12:38] Ren
    You okay?
[12:40] Itsuki
    It wasn't the same berserk mode
    as in the last Wave, was it?
[12:46] Naofumi
    Help me out.
[12:48] Motoyasu
    Help you?
[12:49] Naofumi
    Please.
[12:52] Itsuki
    I never expected to hear
    those words from you.
[12:56] Ren
    Can we win?
[12:58] Naofumi
    I don't know, but it's worth a shot.
[13:02] Itsuki
    I was saying we should
    fight together all along.
[13:05] Naofumi
    Motoyasu?
[13:07] Motoyasu
    I-I...
[13:10] Motoyasu
    Fine! I'll do it!
[13:13] Motoyasu
    We need to prove that friendship
    and strong bonds will always prevail.
[13:23] Pope
    It seems you were up to something,
    but everything is ready now.
[13:27] Pope
    This is goodbye, Devil of the Shield!
[13:39] Pope
    Even if you're the Devil of the Shield,
[13:41] Pope
    I'm amazed you could stop the
    Cathedral's full-power attack.
[13:45] Naofumi
    Immense power always comes at a price.
[13:49] Naofumi
    And if your divine power comes
    at the cost of your disciples,
[13:54] Naofumi
    your life alone won't be
    enough to pay for it!
[13:59] Pope
    That shield...
[14:01] Naofumi
    Let's go!
[14:02] Both
    Right!
[14:04] Heroes
    Yeah!
[14:06] Itsuki
    Thunder Shot!
[14:12] Itsuki
    There's more!
[14:14] Itsuki
    Wind Arrow!
[14:18] Melromarc
    Zweit Aqua Shot!
[14:19] Adventurer
    Zweit Air Shot!
[14:22] Naofumi
    Don't let the enemy recover!
[14:26] Filo
    High Quick!
[14:30] Pope
    You won't get me with the same trick again.
[14:33] Raphtalia
    We're only decoys!
[14:36] Ren
    Meteor Sword!
[14:42] (Flashback) Naofumi
    Ren, Raphtalia, get in close
    and block his field of vision.
[14:45] (Flashback) Naofumi
    Meanwhile...
[14:47] Myne
    Zweit Power!
[14:51] Motoyasu
    I can't believe I'm taking
    orders from Naofumi.
[14:54] Motoyasu
    Damn it!
[14:56] Motoyasu
    I'm taking this out on you!
[14:58] Motoyasu
    Air Strike Javelin!
[15:08] Naofumi
    "Friendship and strong bonds
     always prevail," huh?
[15:12] Motoyasu
    Shut up!
[15:13] Motoyasu
    Just go take him out!
[15:16] Pope
    May this sacred flame cleanse everything!
[15:21] Pope
    Phoenix Blade!
[15:29] Filo
    As source of thy power,
    the Shield Hero and I order thee!
[15:33] Naofumi
    Decipher the laws of creation,
    consume the flame, and give me power!
[15:38] Both
    Wrath Fire!
[15:53] Motoyasu
    He did it!
[15:54] Itsuki
    Let's finish this!
[15:56] Ren
    Yeah!
[16:00] Naofumi
    Wait!
[16:01] Naofumi
    Something's off.
[16:02] Motoyasu
    Chaos Spear!
[16:05] Pope
    State of Emptiness.
[16:08] Motoyasu
    What?
[16:14] Itsuki
    Motoyasu-san!
[16:21] Motoyasu
    Th-That's one of my spear's
    advanced skills, a counter!
[16:26] Ren
    That weapon can even mimic
    the advanced skills?
[16:31] Pope
    The sin of defying God demands
    more than cleansing!
[16:52] Naofumi
    What'd he do?
[17:11] Filo
    Stay away!
[17:17] Melty
    No...
[17:19] Melty
    Stop! Stop it!
[17:22] Ren
    Damn! What the hell's going on?
[17:26] Naofumi
    Is this...
[17:27] Raphtalia
    An illusion, yes!
[17:28] Raphtalia
    He used some kind of skill
    to cast an illusion!
[17:33] Pope
    You've lost your chance to accept God's mercy.
     Now, only despair awaits you.
[17:37] Pope
    Be crushed under the weight of your mind!
[17:40] Naofumi
    Everyone, watch...
[17:43] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[17:45] Naofumi
    Raphtalia!
[17:54] Pope
    You will be annihilated,
    leaving not a speck of ash behind.
[17:57] Pope
    There won't remain any proof
    that you ever existed!
[18:06] Mirelia
    As source of thy power,
    the queen orders thee.
[18:10] Mirelia
    Decipher the laws of creation,
[18:12] Mirelia
    surround my target in a cage
    of ice, and capture him.
[18:16] Mirelia
    All Dritte Fall: Icicle Prison!
[18:29] Pope
    It can't be!
[18:34] Pope
    Her magic pierced the walls of the Cathedral?
[18:38] Mirelia
    Hurry up and get him!
[18:46] Naofumi
    Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
    your screams unto the heavens!
[18:51] Naofumi
    Within the dragon's jaws born from my flesh,
[18:56] Naofumi
    become an offering to the
    gods as you howl in pain!
[18:59] Naofumi
    Blood Sacrifice!
[19:17] Naofumi
    Why...?
[19:20] Pope
    A fitting end for a devil.
[19:22] Pope
    In the end, he was consumed
    by his own power.
[19:32] Pope
    Be thankful, filthy Devil,
    that God still sees fit to purify you.
[19:49] Pope
    Why? Why is this happening to me?!
[19:52] Pope
    I am God's apostle!
[19:54] Pope
    The Pope!
[19:57] Pope
    This can't be!
[20:23] Motoyasu
    Did we... win?
[20:39] Bishop
    No... The Cathedral and the pope...
[20:47] Mirelia
    This battle is over.
    Accept your defeat and surrender.
[20:52] Itsuki
    It's the queen's forces.
[20:54] Ren
    Yeah.
[20:55] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[20:58] Raphtalia
    Hang in there!
[21:00] Filo
    Master!
[21:03] Melromarc
    He's lost so much blood,
    and then there was that skill...
[21:07] Melromarc
    I think Naofumi gave up his own life to...
[21:12] Raphtalia
    No... Naofumi-sama!
[21:16] Raphtalia
    Naofumi-sama!
[21:17] Filo
    Answer me, Master!
[21:20] Melromarc
    Hang in there, Naofumi!
[21:23] Mirelia
    I won't let the Shield Hero die.
[21:36] Melromarc
    Mother!
[21:43] Mirelia
    I'm terribly sorry I couldn't help in time,
[21:45] Mirelia
    Shield Hero Naofumi Iwatani-sama.
[21:51] Naofumi
    You are...
[21:54] Mirelia
    I am the Queen of Melromarc,
[21:57] Mirelia
    Mirelia Q. Melromarc.
