**[00:00] Raphtalia**
Ost-san isn't the Spirit Tortoise's familiar?
**[00:04] Raphtalia**
She's the Spirit Tortoise itself?
**[00:07] Kyo**
Think about it.
**[00:10] Kyo**
If she was a familiar, she'd be under
my control, just like the bats and yetis.
**[00:17] Kyo**
I'm surprised that the Guardian Beast
in this world had that power.
**[00:22] Kyo**
But whatever.
**[00:27] Kyo**
Time to finish this up.
**[00:30] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise's head and
heart have been regenerated!
**[00:43] Mirelia**
It's time.
**[00:46] Eclair**
It was an honor to serve
under you, Your Majesty.
**[00:55] Naofumi**
A barrier?
**[00:58] Ost**
To break it, you'll need to destroy its
head and heart again, this time at once.
**[01:05] Naofumi**
It's taken so many souls it
can regenerate this fast?
**[01:09] Kyo**
That's what you'd think, right?
**[01:13] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama?
**[01:15] Kyo**
These guys were weak as shit, but their
Cardinal Weapons were the real thing!
**[01:20] Kyo**
I used them as a backup power source,
so now they're actually useful for once!
**[01:24] Kyo**
I'm going to drain them
till they're dead and dry!
**[01:30] Rishia**
How awful...
**[01:31] Kyo**
So, I'll be getting back to my hunt.
**[01:35] Kyo**
As a reward for making it this far, I'll give
you front row seats as I squash them flat!
**[01:51] Eclair**
That's...

**[02:34] Naofumi**
Fitoria? What's she doing here?
**[02:37] Filo**
Um... uh...
**[02:40] Filo**
"I'm sorry I'm late.
**[02:42] Filo**
Now that all this has happened..."
**[02:44] Fitoria**
I will aid the Shield Hero.
**[02:55] Fitoria**
I will take the head of the
Guardian Beast, the Spirit Tortoise.
**[03:01] Filo**
Match my timing and destroy its heart!
**[03:04] Ost**
The Spirit Tortoise must have realized that
I can no longer fulfill my original function.
**[03:10] Naofumi**
I see.
**[03:11] Kyo**
Okay, okay. The Filolial Queen, huh?
**[03:14] Kyo**
I just have to keep you from
getting to the heart, I guess.
**[03:22] L'arc**
Hey, where's the real heart?
**[03:25] L'arc**
Huh? Lad?
**[03:27] Naofumi**
L'Arc!
**[03:29] Kyo**
How many walls did you have
to smash to get here?
**[03:33] Kyo**
That's the problem with you meatheads.
**[03:35] Glass**
I swear by my vassal weapon
that I will stop you.
**[03:41] Kyo**
You guys are gonna destroy
this world anyway.
**[03:45] L'arc**
Well, yes...
**[03:48] Kyo**
Then we should want to get as many
souls as we can first, right?
**[03:53] Kyo**
Is there a problem with that?
**[03:56] L'arc**
There's a big problem!
**[03:57] L'arc**
Our vassal weapons are telling us
not to do something so disgusting!
**[04:02] L'arc**
Can't you hear it, too?
**[04:04] Kyo**
I'm not a slave to my
vassal weapon, unlike you.
**[04:09] Kyo**
I just need to be able to
use it when I want to!
**[04:16] Kyo**
Composition Form One: Bird of Flame!
**[04:20] Naofumi**
Move!
**[04:31] Kyo**
Of course, I've got the same barrier
as the Spirit Tortoise's core.
**[04:37] Kyo**
It uses the power of the three heroic stooges.
**[04:50] Kyo**
And I need their power to make my
own personal giant monster movie, too.
**[04:56] Rishia**
Itsuki-sama!
**[05:00] Naofumi**
Damn it!
**[05:03] Fitoria**
The same attack, again and again.
**[05:22] Fitoria**
Not bad!
**[05:30] Mirelia**
Sound the retreat.
**[05:32] Lowhirot Officer**
But...
**[05:33] Mirelia**
Fitoria-sama can't fight with her
full strength as long as we're here.
**[05:38] Fitoria**
Good.
**[05:39] Fitoria**
Get as far away as you can.
**[05:48] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[05:52] L'arc**
First Stance: Wind Blowout!
**[06:01] Filo**
She says we need to hurry
up and destroy the head
**[06:04] Filo**
and heart to remove the barrier from the core!
**[06:06] Naofumi**
I know!
**[06:07] Glass**
Is that right?
**[06:09] L'Arc**
Then this time, we'll destroy the real one!
**[06:13] Ost**
I'll open the path to the core...
**[06:15] Kyo**
You know I'm not letting that happen.
**[06:21] Kyo**
Yup. The Spirit Tortoise's favorite.
Gravity attacks.
**[06:25] Kyo**
And since I don't want you to think I'm
helpless without the three stooges' power,
**[06:30] Kyo**
let me show you something.
**[06:34] Kyo**
Pretty, huh?
**[06:36] Kyo**
This is the power of the souls I used
the Spirit Tortoise to gather up!
**[06:43] Kyo**
Scary!
**[06:45] Kyo**
Don't get so mad. See?
**[06:51] Kyo**
Once I've killed these guys and taken
all the souls I can from this world,
**[06:55] Kyo**
I'll leave you alone!
**[06:58] Ost**
Stop it...
**[06:59] Ost**
Stop!
**[07:02] Kyo**
Nope! Not gonna stop!
**[07:06] Kyo**
Come on, where'd all that
strength you had go?
**[07:10] Kyo**
All your pretty little friends
are about to get squashed flat!
**[07:19] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[07:23] Kyo**
But that'd be a waste, wouldn't it?
**[07:26] Kyo**
I'll leave you to enjoy your
new life as a pancake,
**[07:29] Kyo**
and take them back to my world!
**[07:31] Naofumi**
Screw you...
**[07:33] Raphtalia**
Stop it...
**[07:35] Raphtalia**
Get your foot off Naofumi-sama!
**[07:40] Kyo**
She's crying!
**[07:42] Kyo**
The demi-human's crying! So cute!
**[07:45] Kyo**
If only you'd killed the Spirit Tortoise's
avatar, this wouldn't have happened!
**[07:51] Kyo**
Man, this Shield Hero
sure is a useless loser!
**[07:55] Filo**
No! Stop!
**[07:57] Kyo**
Quit your squealing, bitch!
**[07:59] Kyo**
So this dumbass is really
that important to you?
**[08:02] Kyo**
Shut up so I can kill him quick!
**[08:05] Rishia**
Stop it!
**[08:13] Rishia**
You... coward!
**[08:22] Raphtalia**
Rishia-san?
**[08:24] Filo**
Rishia-oneechan...
**[08:26] Kyo**
Who the hell are you?
**[08:28] Kyo**
A moment ago you were just
whimpering in the background.
**[08:32] Kyo**
Wuss!
**[08:34] Rishia**
That's right.
**[08:35] Rishia**
I'm a wuss. I can't do anything.
**[08:39] Rishia**
So...
**[08:40] Rishia**
I understand.
**[08:42] Kyo**
Understand what?
**[08:44] Kyo**
And wait, how can you walk?
**[08:46] Rishia**
You're the same as me.
**[08:50] Rishia**
You're relying on the power of others.
**[08:54] Rishia**
You're not an amazing person at all!
**[08:57] Kyo**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[08:59] Kyo**
You wouldn't know just how awesome I am!
**[09:16] Rishia**
I know.
**[09:17] Rishia**
I know that you're actually weak.
**[09:20] Rishia**
That's why you pretend to be strong.
**[09:23] Rishia**
You try to intimidate your enemies,
like a little animal puffing out its fur!
**[09:33] Naofumi**
Rishia...
**[09:36] Kyo**
What? You're all talk, huh?
**[09:44] Kyo**
Damn you!
**[09:52] Kyo**
Where did you go?
**[09:54] Rishia**
I'm weak, too.
**[09:57] Rishia**
My body, my heart...
**[09:58] Rishia**
Especially compared to Naofumi-san,
Raphtalia-san, Filo-chan, and Ost-san.
**[10:05] Rishia**
But I'll never lose to somebody like you.
**[10:09] Kyo**
Shut up...
**[10:10] Naofumi**
Rishia... How is she...
**[10:13] Ost**
Shield Hero...
**[10:19] Ost**
I, the Spirit Tortoise, give my orders
to the heavens and the earth.
**[10:23] Ost**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[10:27] Ost**
My power...
**[10:29] Ost**
I give you the power of the Spirit Tortoise.
**[10:34] Naofumi**
I, the Shield Hero, take upon myself
the power of the Spirit Tortoise,
**[10:38] Naofumi**
and give my orders to the
heavens and the earth.
**[10:40] Naofumi**
Sever the laws of reality, bind them together,
and make them spit out the pus within.
**[10:43] Naofumi**
Power of the ley lines, manifest my
magic and the power of the hero.
**[10:48] Naofumi**
As the source of thy power,
the Shield Hero, I order thee.
**[10:52] Naofumi**
Unravel the mysteries of all things...
**[10:55] Kyo**
Where are you!?
**[10:56] Naofumi**
...and give them everything!
**[10:59] Naofumi**
All Liberation Aura!
**[11:08] Kyo**
This world's most powerful magic?!
**[11:25] Ost**
Now!
**[11:27] L'Arc**
Thanks!
**[11:29] Naofumi**
Filo, go with them!
**[11:31] Filo**
Roger!
**[11:36] Kyo**
You little...
**[11:37] Kyo**
I won't let you!
**[11:38] Rishia**
Your opponent...
**[11:42] Rishia**
is me!
**[11:46] Kyo**
I'm getting real sick of you!
**[11:49] L'Arc**
What are you doing here, Little Miss Filo?
**[11:52] Filo**
I can talk with Fitoria!
**[11:55] Therese**
Fitoria... the Filolial Queen?
**[11:58] Glass**
Makes sense.
**[12:01] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama, are you okay?
**[12:03] Naofumi**
I guess.
**[12:05] Naofumi**
But her...
**[12:07] Naofumi**
We were only barely able
to move with Ost's help.
**[12:11] Naofumi**
So how...?
**[12:12] Naofumi**
She was the only one of us who could
handle that supergravity attack.
**[12:16] Naofumi**
Is that what the old lady
meant by manipulating ki?
**[12:23] Kyo**
You...
**[12:25] Rishia**
I told you.
**[12:27] Rishia**
You rely too much on your power.
**[12:29] Rishia**
Your attacks are simplistic,
**[12:32] Rishia**
so even I can dodge them.
**[12:34] Kyo**
Simplistic, huh?
**[12:37] Kyo**
Thanks for the advice.
**[12:39] Kyo**
I'll use those simplistic
attacks to kill you, then!
**[12:42] Kyo**
Composition of Flame!
**[13:03] Kyo**
What?
**[13:04] Rishia**
And you're a trickster.
**[13:07] Rishia**
You have a twisted mind, and love
to lie and deceive people.
**[13:16] Kyo**
I shouldn't have tried to
fight you like a moron!
**[13:18] Kyo**
I should've done this from the start!
**[13:20] Rishia**
You're an idiot to try and
take hostages at this point.
**[13:33] Rishia**
I don't want to forgive you, but if
you surrender now, I won't kill you.
**[13:40] Kyo**
Who the hell do you think you are?
**[13:43] Kyo**
I'd rather kill you and then die!
**[13:54] Naofumi**
Rishia hasn't just learned to use ki.
**[13:58] Raphtalia**
She's like a totally different person.
**[14:00] Ost**
Shield Hero...
**[14:02] Ost**
I ask you again.
**[14:05] Ost**
Please, kill me.
**[14:09] Naofumi**
But...
**[14:10] Ost**
Rishia-san is right.
**[14:12] Ost**
Kyo Ethnina is a liar to the end.
**[14:17] Naofumi**
What do you mean?
**[14:23] L'Arc**
The real heart is this tough?
**[14:26] Therese**
L'Arc, stop complaining and destroy it!
**[14:29] Filo**
Fitoria says to hurry up, too!
**[14:31] L'Arc**
I know!
**[14:35] Fitoria**
He's using the souls he stole?
**[14:38] Fitoria**
Even if I dodge it, it will
destroy the entire city.
**[14:52] Fitoria**
Multi-caster ritual magic?
**[15:03] Filo**
Fan lady!
**[15:05] Glass**
What's this?
**[15:06] Filo**
Master gave it to me!
**[15:09] L'Arc**
Nice work, lad.
**[15:14] Glass**
Let's go, Therese.
**[15:16] Therese**
Right!
**[15:18] Therese**
I beseech thee,
power of jewels far and wide...
**[15:20] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo...
**[15:31] Mirelia**
It's not working after all?
**[15:32] Fitoria**
No.
**[15:33] Fitoria**
Well done!
**[15:58] Filo**
Now!
**[15:59] Therese**
Bejeweled Blizzard!
**[16:01] Glass**
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons!
**[16:15] Rishia**
The barrier!
**[16:19] Kyo**
Damn it all!
**[16:25] Kyo**
Just kidding.
**[16:29] Kyo**
Did you really think I hadn't put
together a plan just in case?
**[16:33] Rishia**
No...
**[16:37] Kyo**
It's an emergency measure that uses the
souls' power to defend the core, but oh well.
**[16:42] Kyo**
As long as I can see your faces twisting
with despair, that's enough for...
**[16:48] Rishia**
Naofumi-san!
**[16:51] (Flashback) Ost**
Kyo Ethnina is a liar to the end.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Ost**
I think he still has a plan.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Ost**
I am one with the core.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Ost**
When that happens, use all your
power to destroy me completely!
**[17:11] Naofumi**
Raphtalia, when I can't
move anymore, it's up to you.
**[17:16] Raphtalia**
Okay.
**[17:19] Naofumi**
Foolish sinner, I sentence you to cast
your screams unto the heavens!
**[17:24] Kyo**
Hey, hey, hey! Stop it, you moron!
**[17:26] Naofumi**
Within the dragon's jaws
born from my flesh...
**[17:30] Kyo**
No!
**[17:31] Naofumi**
...become an offering to the
gods as you howl.
**[17:41] Naofumi**
I don't... have any hatred to unleash on you.
**[17:54] Kyo**
What the hell?
**[17:56] Kyo**
All that build-up and you just stopped?
**[17:59] Kyo**
You're letting all the work Mr. Scythe
and the big bird did go to waste?
**[18:03] Kyo**
Seriously? You're kidding me!
**[18:11] Ost**
That's fine.
**[18:13] Ost**
Shield Hero, it's fine.
**[18:16] Ost**
Now, the time has come for the power
I left within the shield to take form.
***SIGN*** The Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield has been force-unlocked.
**[18:28] Naofumi**
The Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield?
**[18:45] Naofumi**
Ost, what did you do?
**[18:49] Naofumi**
No...
**[18:52] Naofumi**
Stop!
**[18:53] Kyo**
Don't!
**[18:54] Naofumi**
*Stop*!
**[19:29] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[19:38] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[19:43] Kyo**
Now you've done it!
**[19:45] Kyo**
It's all ruined! All my hard work!
**[19:50] Naofumi**
You...
**[19:52] Kyo**
That's a lie. I succeeded in
my real goal, so whatever.
**[19:57] L'Arc**
What are you talking about?
**[19:59] Kyo**
Did you think that once
you destroyed the core,
**[20:01] Kyo**
the souls inside would spread out across
the world and head up to heaven?
**[20:05] Kyo**
Too bad!
**[20:06] Kyo**
I kept the bare minimum here,
just so that wouldn't happen!
**[20:13] Kyo**
All right, I'll be going!
**[20:21] Glass**
That's...
**[20:22] Kyo**
Shield Hero!
**[20:24] Kyo**
And green-hair.
**[20:26] Kyo**
I'm going to kill you.
**[20:29] Kyo**
Have fun until then.
**[20:32] L'Arc**
Wait!
**[20:35] L'Arc**
Damn it!
**[20:37] Naofumi**
Ost... Why?
**[20:41] Ost**
You weren't swallowed up by rage and sorrow.
**[20:44] Ost**
That's why the Spirit Tortoise's
Heart Shield was unlocked.
**[20:48] Naofumi**
I don't understand. Explain.
**[20:51] Ost**
You don't need to use that terrifying
shield stained with hatred anymore.
**[20:57] Naofumi**
The Wrath Shield...
**[21:00] Ost**
I have taken many lives,
and you're still sad at my passing.
**[21:06] Ost**
Kind, gentle Shield Hero...
**[21:08] Ost**
Please, don't forget what you feel now.
**[21:11] Naofumi**
No... No, I'm not kind!
**[21:14] L'Arc**
Lad!
**[21:16] Therese**
It looks like this is
connected to our world,
**[21:20] Therese**
but it's about to close.
**[21:22] Glass**
The rest is our job now.
**[21:25] Glass**
We will defeat Kyo and bring
the souls back to this world.
**[21:29] L'Arc**
Yeah. Leave the rest to us.
**[21:32] L'Arc**
Bye!
***SIGN*** Forbidden Action
The Four Cardinal Heroes cannot invade another world.
**[21:46] Naofumi**
What the hell?
**[21:48] Ost**
Go!
***SIGN*** Special Permission
Invasion of another world by the Four Heroes is now allowed under certain conditions.
**[21:56] Ost**
You need to hurry, or it will close!
**[21:59] Raphtalia**
Ost-san!
**[21:59] Filo**
Ost-oneechan!
**[22:01] Naofumi**
Raphtalia! Filo!
**[22:03] Naofumi**
What are you doing?
**[22:04] Naofumi**
Let's go!
**[22:07] Naofumi**
Our comrade's asking us to!
**[22:09] Naofumi**
We can't let L'Arc and
his friends handle this!
**[22:19] Naofumi**
Rishia, you stay with Itsuki...
**[22:21] Rishia**
No!
**[22:23] Rishia**
I'm your comrade! And Ost-san's!
**[22:27] Rishia**
I'm going, too!
**[22:35] Ost**
*Comrade...*
**[22:37] Ost**
*Comrade, huh?*
**[22:40] Ost**
* If I'm ever reborn... this time,*
* I want to truly be their comrade.*
**[22:46] Ost**
*I pray...*
**[22:48] Ost**
*that there be joy...*
**[22:53] Ost**
*at the end of the Shield Hero's path.*
