SIGN    The Rising of the Shield Hero SIGN    Guardians of Another World [01:31] Naofumi     After finding a dragon hourglass in an     underwater temple off the coast of Cal Mira, [01:36] Naofumi     we hurriedly made preparations     for the incoming Wave. [01:46] (Flashback) Naofumi     Raphtalia. [01:47] (Flashback) Raphtalia     Got it. [01:49] (Flashback) Raphtalia     First Light. [02:00] (Flashback) Naofumi     There's a dragon hourglass here? No way! [02:03] (Flashback) Raphtalia     If a Wave attacks this place,     the islanders will all die! [02:12] (Flashback) Naofumi     The next Wave is coming... [02:15] (Flashback) Naofumi     in two days?! [02:19] Naofumi     I used my teleport skill     to return to the capital. [02:23] Naofumi     And when I explained the     situation to the queen, [02:25] Naofumi     she immediately put together     an army to fight the Wave. [02:29] Naofumi     It's quite likely that this     Wave will occur out at sea. [02:33] Naofumi     That's why we're all on ships,     waiting to be teleported to the Wave. [02:39] Naofumi     Of course, even the ships were     arranged for by the queen. [02:43] Naofumi     Unlike the trash king, [02:45] Naofumi     she's thankfully quick on the uptake. [02:48] Mirelia     We made it, somehow. [02:50] Naofumi     I'm amazed you put together this     big army in such a short time. [02:54] Melromarc     This is nothing. [02:56] Melromarc     Dealing with the Waves is an important     responsibility of the royal family. [03:00] Naofumi     Why did you come along, too? [03:01] Melromarc     What's that supposed to mean?! [03:05] Melromarc     I'm... [03:06] Melromarc     I'm part of your party, too. [03:08] Filo     I'm happy I got to see you again. [03:14] Melromarc     Filo-chan... [03:16] Melromarc     Same here! [03:19] Raphtalia     By the way, will the people     of Cal Mira be all right? [03:24] Mirelia     Earl Habenburg has already finished     evacuating the islanders. [03:30] Mirelia     Besides, it's likely that this     Wave will occur out at sea. [03:35] Mirelia     That should help you focus on the battle. [03:38] Naofumi     That's true. [03:40] Naofumi     But we can't get complacent. [03:43] Naofumi     As always, those guys didn't     seem to want to fight together. [03:48] Mirelia     They said they would be fine after     they leveled up at Cal Mira. [03:52] Naofumi     Looks like things might get ugly yet again. [03:57] Raphtalia     Naofumi-sama... [04:00] Raphtalia     It's L'Arc-san and Therese-san! [04:02] Naofumi     They're fighting, too? [04:05] Melromarc     You know them? [04:06] Naofumi     Yeah. We worked together at Cal Mira. [04:09] Raphtalia     I'm glad we have them on our side. [04:11] Naofumi     They're way more reliable     than Motoyasu and the other guys. [04:14] Melromarc     Huh... It's not often you place     so much trust in others. [04:30] Mirelia     We'll engage the enemy     as soon as we teleport. [04:32] Mirelia     Everyone, prepare for battle! [04:45] Naofumi     Here we go! [05:07] Naofumi     What are those? [05:08] Man     Cask bombs, made using cohol fruits. [05:12] Naofumi     Cohol fruits? [05:16] Naofumi     I see. Concentrated alcohol     should work on monsters, too. [05:21] Man     Over here! [05:27] Itsuki     Keep attacking! Don't let up! [05:30] Rishia     Itsuki-sama! [05:41] Itsuki     Meteor Shot! [05:56] Ren     We can't attack it unless     we get it out of the water! [05:59] Naofumi     Let's go, Filo! [06:01] Filo     'Kay! [06:06] Naofumi     I sure drew the short straw here. [06:09] (Flashback) Mirelia     Shield Hero, please keep the     most formidable foe in check. [06:13] (Flashback) Naofumi     You make it sound easy, but it's underwater. [06:17] (Flashback) Mirelia     That's exactly why it must be you. [06:30] Naofumi     Hate Reaction! [06:43] Naofumi     It took the bait! [06:54] Mirelia     Now! [06:56] Mirelia     Attack! [06:57] Itsuki     Meteor Shot! [07:00] Motoyasu     Meteor Thrust! [07:02] Ren     Meteor Slash! [07:13] All     We got it! [07:26] Naofumi     Hey, they didn't hurt it one bit. [07:39] Naofumi     Now that she's leveled up,     Raphtalia's dealing more damage than them. [07:45] Naofumi     But she can't land a finishing blow. [07:48] Man     The heroes will take care of the big one! [07:51] Man     Target the small fry! [08:08] Man     Hurry up and kill them! [08:10] Man     Nope! They keep coming! [08:13] Melromarc     As source of thy power, I order thee. [08:16] Melromarc     Decipher the laws of nature and use the     power of water to thrash my targets. [08:21] Melromarc     Zweit Aqua Shot! [08:27] Melromarc     Are you all right? [08:28] Man     Well, we are... [08:37] Mirelia     M-Melty! [08:40] Filo     Mel-chan! [08:45] Man     Melty-sama! [08:50] Mirelia     Melty! [09:02] Melromarc     Aren't you... [09:04] L'arc     Sit tight here. [09:08] L'arc     Skybound Wheel Swing! [09:16] Melromarc     Wow! [09:18] Man     This is our chance! [09:22] Melromarc     You're really strong. [09:24] Melromarc     Naofumi was right. [09:28] Naofumi     L'Arc! [09:31] Naofumi     Get on that big fella and attack it! [09:34] Naofumi     Even if you fall into the water,     Filo and I will save you! [09:41] L'arc     Well... [09:41] L'arc     I suppose it does need to go down first. [09:44] L'arc     Get its big ass out of the water again! [09:50] Naofumi     Filo! [09:51] Filo     'Kay! [10:07] L'arc     Skybound Wheel Swing! [10:14] Filo     I won't be outdone! [10:16] Naofumi     Go for it, Filo! [10:21] Naofumi     Time to finish it! Let's go! [10:23] Filo     Yeah! [10:24] Filo     Spiral Strike! [10:31] Therese     Bejeweled Thunderstorm! [10:37] L'arc     Combo Skill: Thunderbolt Wheel Swing! [10:49] Mirelia     What a display of strength! [10:57] Naofumi     Thanks for that. You're amazing. [11:00] L'arc     Well, of course you couldn't beat it     with your defense-focused shield. [11:05] Naofumi     You mean... [11:07] Motoyasu     Hey! [11:08] Motoyasu     Naofumi! [11:10] Motoyasu     And you did well, too. [11:13] Naofumi     What'd you come for? [11:15] Ren     Isn't it obvious? The drops. [11:17] Itsuki     The items that Wave monsters     drop all belong to us heroes. [11:22] Naofumi     You didn't even do anything. [11:25] Naofumi     Listen up! The one who killed this thing... [11:27] L'arc     "Heroes"? [11:29] L'arc     If that's a joke, it ain't funny. [11:31] L'arc     These weaklings are the heroes     that protect the world? [11:35] Motoyasu     Huh? [11:38] Raphtalia     The queen wants you to get rid     of the remaining monsters... [11:45] Itsuki     Wh-What? [11:51] Raphtalia     Naofumi-sama! [11:53] Naofumi     What are you playing at? [11:55] L'arc     You really are the Shield Hero, huh? [12:00] L'arc     Damn it... Why'd it have to come to this? [12:03] Naofumi     Answer me! What's the meaning of this?! [12:06] L'arc     It's simple. [12:09] L'arc     We just need you to die     for the sake of our world. [12:16] L'arc     Just so you know, we've got     nothing against you. [12:20] Therese     That is the truth. Please believe us. [12:23] Therese     It pains us to do this after     you were so nice to us. [12:29] Naofumi     Without me—without the heroes—this world      will be powerless to stop the Waves! [12:34] L'arc     And that's our goal. [12:36] Naofumi     What? [12:38] Therese     L'Arc, he can't understand     without a proper explanation. [12:42] L'arc     This is a pain! [12:45] L'arc     Long story short, we're heroes,     just like you guys. [12:49] L'arc     Of another world, though. [12:52] Naofumi     Another world? [12:54] Therese     And just like your world, ours teeters     on the brink of destruction, too. [13:00] Therese     To prevent that... [13:02] Raphtalia     Therese-san... [13:04] L'arc     Basically, we have something     to fight for, too. [13:08] L'arc     That's why we can't afford to lose.     You understand that, don't you? [13:13] L'arc     But if we're gonna fight,     let's keep it fair and square! [13:16] L'arc     Get ready, Shield Hero! [13:23] Melromarc     He was after Naofumi from the start? [13:27] Mirelia     There's no mistaking it.     They're clearly hostile toward the heroes. [13:31] Mirelia     I hereby declare those     adventurers to be the enemy. [13:33] Mirelia     Back up the heroes and help suppress them! [13:36] Man     Ma'am! [13:39] Motoyasu     You think this is a joke? [13:41] L'arc     You should've just stayed down. [13:53] Man     Fire! [13:59] L'arc     Therese... [13:59] Therese     On it. [14:00] Therese     I beseech thee,     power of jewels far and wide. [14:02] Therese     Heed my call and come to me. [14:10] Therese     My name is Therese Alexanderite. [14:13] Therese     My friends, be the force     that destroys my targets! [14:18] Therese     Bejeweled Meteor Shower! [14:28] Naofumi     Raphtalia! [14:30] Raphtalia     I'm fine! [14:32] L'arc     Therese! [14:33] Therese     I know. I'm only making sure we     won't have any interruptions. [14:37] Therese     My friends, protect my targets from the     calamities raining down upon them! [14:42] Therese     Bejeweled Silver Lining! [14:54] Naofumi     She attacks them and then helps them? [14:58] Naofumi     What are they thinking? [15:01] L'arc     We won't kill you two. [15:03] L'arc     I know we dragged you into this,     but please stay out of it. [15:07] Therese     Yes. Our target is... [15:10] Naofumi     Me, and me alone? [15:12] Naofumi     Let's do this. [15:14] Raphtalia     Naofumi-sama... [15:17] Raphtalia     I understand. [15:19] Filo     I'll kick your butts if you're     gonna be mean to Master! [15:28] L'arc     Air Scythe Suite... [15:30] L'arc     First Stance: Wind Blowout! [15:40] Therese     L'Arc! [15:41] L'arc     I'm fine. It doesn't hurt or anything. [15:44] L'arc     Feels a little numb, though. [15:48] L'arc     You've got some amusing stuff. [15:52] Mirelia     Prioritize rescuing the soldiers and crew. [15:55] Mirelia     Move them to the remaining ships. [15:57] Man     What about the heroes?     They fell into the water. [15:59] Mirelia     The adventurers in their parties     have gone to their aid. [16:02] Mirelia     Let them handle it. [16:14] Rishia     M-Melty-sama? [16:16] Melromarc     Take me to where Naofumi is! [16:19] Rishia     Huh? B-But we just barely     brought Itsuki-sama back! [16:23] Melromarc     Just do it! Hurry up! [16:29] Naofumi     The same move again?! [16:33] Filo     Master! [16:39] Naofumi     What was that? [16:41] Naofumi     I didn't get hit, but I still got hurt. [16:44] Therese     Bejeweled... [16:45] Therese     Sin Flame! [16:50] Voice     I'm sorry. [16:52] Naofumi     What was that voice? [16:54] Therese     I see. You don't wish to fight him? [16:58] Naofumi     Is that the bracelet I made for her? [17:01] L'arc     Therese! [17:02] Therese     It's fine. I'll go with a different one. [17:04] Naofumi     Drink up, you two. [17:06] Filo     'Kay! [17:06] Raphtalia     Got it! [17:09] Naofumi     That attack L'Arc just used... [17:12] Naofumi     Does it ignore defense? [17:14] Naofumi     No. If it did, I wouldn't take that     much damage just from the tip. [17:20] Naofumi     Guess it's worth a shot. [17:22] Naofumi     Wow, I didn't expect you to use     a defense-reversing attack. [17:26] L'arc     Bingo. [17:27] L'arc     The higher my target's defense,     the more damage it deals. [17:32] L'arc     In other words, it's the perfect     move to use against the Shield Hero. [17:37] Naofumi     A trick question, huh? [17:39] Naofumi     Unfortunately, my policy is     to fight fair and square. [17:43] L'arc     I'll gladly tell you my secrets. [17:45] Naofumi     "Fair and square"?     This is a fight to the death! [17:52] Naofumi     He's always like this. [17:54] Naofumi     He always throws me off my game. [17:57] Melromarc     Naofumi! [17:59] Filo     Mel-chan? [18:00] Naofumi     Why are you here? [18:01] Melromarc     I got a ride. [18:04] Melromarc     The Wave isn't over yet. [18:07] Melromarc     Hurry up and beat these guys,     so we can all go back home! [18:13] Melromarc     Wh-What? [18:15] Naofumi     Nothing. [18:16] Naofumi     L'Arc... [18:18] Naofumi     Sure, defense-reversing attacks     will definitely mess me up. [18:23] Naofumi     But they won't do anything if I dodge them. [18:25] Naofumi     Besides, my Air Strike Shield and     Second Shield should render them meaningless. [18:30] Naofumi     I can just use them if I must. [18:33] Melromarc     Naofumi! Why would you reveal your hand?! [18:37] Naofumi     It's fine. [18:41] L'arc     We've both revealed our ace in the hole, eh? [18:44] L'arc     Then... let's get right to it! [18:47] Naofumi     Filo! [18:52] L'arc     Venom? [18:52] Therese     L'Arc! [18:54] Melromarc     Zweit Aqua Shell! [18:59] L'arc     Illusion magic? [19:05] L'arc     There! [19:06] Raphtalia     You fell for it! [19:07] Naofumi     Dog Bite! [19:10] Both     Produce a storm that     blows our targets away! [19:12] Both     Typhoon! [19:16] Naofumi     I knew you'd do that. [19:23] Raphtalia     This is it! [19:24] Therese     Protect him! [19:32] Naofumi     Even our best combo can't take him down? [19:36] L'arc     That really hurt. [19:39] L'arc     What's more, you're making     perfect use of your shield. [19:42] L'arc     You're good! [19:44] Therese     You told us you'd use the     Air Strike Shield for defense, [19:47] Therese     so we wouldn't think of it as a trap. [19:51] Therese     You're good at mind games, too. [19:53] Naofumi     And Therese can switch between     attack and defense at will. [19:57] Naofumi     She deliberately used an AOE spell just     now to prevent any more attacks on L'Arc. [20:02] Naofumi     They really must be heroes     from another world. [20:06] Naofumi     It shows in their spirit and strength. [20:08] Naofumi     Honestly, they're much more heroic     than Itsuki, Motoyasu, and Ren. [20:11] Naofumi     Besides... [20:13] L'arc     I was bored out of my mind     fighting monsters at Cal Mira. [20:16] L'arc     Nothing beats man-to-man battles,     with all the strategies and tricks involved. [20:21] Naofumi     This is no time to be admiring     them as worthy opponents. [20:24] Naofumi     It's kill or be killed. I know that. [20:28] Naofumi     But... [20:29] L'arc     Isn't this fun, Naofumi? [20:32] L'arc     We've got plenty left in the tank. [20:35] L'arc     How about you guys? [20:39] Glass     Why are you goofing off? [20:55] Naofumi     Glass! [20:57] L'arc     You came already, Glassy? [21:00] Glass     You kept me waiting far too long. [21:02] Melromarc     Who is that? [21:04] Melromarc     Just looking at her is making me shiver. [21:06] Naofumi     Glass... A mysterious woman who     showed up in the last Wave. [21:10] Naofumi     And... [21:12] Naofumi     It looks like she's on their side. [21:14] Glass     We meet again, Naofumi. [21:17] Naofumi     Personally, I never wanted     to see your face again. [21:20] Glass     Then... [21:22] Glass     Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons. [21:30] Glass     Rupture-Stance Rondo:     Tortoise Shell Cracker. [21:36] Glass     Looking at his shield, it seems     he wasn't going all-out. [21:39] L'arc     What? What do you mean? [21:41] Glass     When he gets serious, he brings     out a far more ominous shield. [21:46] Glass     Without using that shield,     you hurt L'Arc this much [21:49] Glass     and even blocked my attacks completely. [21:51] Glass     You've grown stronger, Naofumi. [21:54] Naofumi     Gee, thanks for the compliment. [21:56] Glass     But that is why I must put     you down with my own hands. SIGN    The Rising of the Shield Hero
