[00:01] (Flashback) Ike
    Then this is poison?
[00:02] (Flashback) Ike
    I'll use an antidote spell.
[00:06] (Flashback) Ike
    My antidote spell isn't working.
[00:08] (Flashback) Cefiro
    It seems he's been given a powerful poison.
[00:13] (Flashback) Ike
    So they poisoned their own comrade? Cowards!
[00:22] (Flashback) Ike
    Jace...
[00:23] (Flashback) Ike
    You know they've given up on you, right?
[00:28] (Flashback) Ike
    There's no need to keep silent
    for their sake, is there?
[00:32] (Flashback) Ike
    Tell me their name. I'll get revenge for you.
[00:38] (Flashback) Jace
    Their name is...
[00:58] (Flashback) Ike
    It seems like things are getting serious.
[01:03] (Flashback) Dairokuten
    Cefiro, you know why you're here, right?
[01:07] (Flashback) Cefiro
    Yes.
[01:08] (Flashback) Cefiro
    The one behind this was the head
    of the Third Corps, Basteo.
[01:14] (Flashback) Dairokuten
    Do you have proof?
[01:18] (Flashback) Cefiro
    He brought my vice-commander to his side,
    and was planning to kill the two of us,
[01:22] (Flashback) Cefiro
    and you as well.
[01:25] (Flashback) Dairokuten
    I see.
[01:27] (Flashback) Dairokuten
    That's what Cefiro says.
[01:30] (Flashback) Dairokuten
    But what do you have to say?
SIGN    Duel
[03:26] Dairokuten
    Basteo, it seems she has a different
    opinion on the matter than you do.
[03:31] Basteo
    As I said just a moment ago...
[03:35] Basteo
    These two have slain their own
    vice-commander in an attempt to frame me.
[03:42] Basteo
    They're plotting against me.
[03:45] Cefiro
    What?
[03:47] Basteo
    I assume they're plotting to
    steal the Third Corps from me.
[03:53] Basteo
    It's the kind of plot
    I'd expect from a mere witch.
[03:56] Cefiro
    You bastard...
[03:59] Dairokuten
    Calm yourself.
[04:01] Cefiro
    Of course.
[04:02] Dairokuten
    The more power a demon has,
    the more power they seek.
[04:08] Dairokuten
    Wealth, glory, influence...
[04:11] Dairokuten
    Yes, ambition is what makes us who we are.
[04:15] Dairokuten
    If I were to kill my men over their
    ambition, I'd soon have none left.
[04:20] Dairokuten
    Basteo, did you honestly think
    I wouldn't see through your plot?
[04:25] Dairokuten
    Cefiro, your loyalty is true,
[04:30] Dairokuten
    but you are responsible for failing
    to maintain your men's loyalty.
[04:33] Cefiro
    I am aware.
[04:39] Dairokuten
    Our code of laws says that
    I should punish you both.
[04:49] Dairokuten
    But I don't wish to lose
    two corps commanders
[04:53] Dairokuten
    in the middle of our war with the humans.
[04:57] Dairokuten
    However, I cannot simply ignore this matter.
[05:01] Cefiro
    And so...
[05:02] Dairokuten
    There will be a duel.
[05:04] Dairokuten
    Whoever wins, I believe.
[05:07] Dairokuten
    That's how demons should handle things.
[05:16] Dairokuten
    The Demon Lord just sent
    me the details of the duel.
[05:22] Ike
    I see.
[05:24] Cefiro
    The duel will be held using
     magical creatures known as "puppets."
[05:30] Cefiro
    The commander will be the
    representative of their team,
[05:33] Cefiro
    and cannot participate
    in the battle themselves.
[05:36] Cefiro
    They will command 50 puppets,
[05:38] Cefiro
    and will win if they can wipe out
    all of the enemy's puppets.
[05:42] Cefiro
    The loser will die on the spot.
[05:45] Cefiro
    That's how the Demon Lord has
    decided to hold the duel.
[05:51] Ike
    Why something so complicated?
[05:54] Ike
    Couldn't she just have you fight?
[05:57] Cefiro
    She wants to test our skills as commanders.
[06:02] Cefiro
    She is certainly unusual.
[06:04] Ike
    This will be difficult.
[06:05] Cefiro
    Oh, we're allowed to appoint
    stand-ins for the duel.
[06:11] Cefiro
    Ike, you go for me.
[06:14] Ike
    Oh, all right.
[06:18] Ike
    Then...
[06:18] Ike
    Huh?!
[06:27] Jiron
    So this is where the duel will be held?
[06:32] Jiron
    Ike-sama?
[06:38] (Flashback) Ike
    Your life's on the line!
[06:41] (Flashback) Ike
    Shouldn't you go yourself?
[06:44] (Flashback) Cefiro
    I picked the way that's
    most likely to get me a win.
[06:47] (Flashback) Cefiro
    You understand, right?
[06:49] (Flashback) Cefiro
    Your talents as a commander
    already exceed mine.
[06:58] (Flashback) Ike
    That's not true.
[06:59] (Flashback) Cefiro
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[07:01] (Flashback) Cefiro
    I'm only talking about your
    skills as a commander.
[07:04] (Flashback) Cefiro
    I'm still the better corps leader.
[07:14] (Flashback) Cefiro
    I'm entrusting you with my life.
[07:19] Ike
    *I wish she hadn't entrusted
    *me with her life.
[07:23] Ike
    It's too big a burden.
[07:26] Jiron
    Ike-sama, is something wrong?
[07:29] Ike
    No, I was just thinking about how
[07:32] Ike
    the Corps Commander is every bit
    as unusual as the Demon Lord.
[07:37] Jiron
    You're pretty unusual yourself!
[07:41] Jiron
    Like how you tell us not
    to kill for no reason!
[07:45] Ike
    He thinks I'm like them, huh?
[07:48] Ike
    For now, I should think of a way to win.
[07:58] Jiron
    So these are puppets.
[08:00] Jiron
    Their faces are kind of eerie.
[08:03] Jiron
    How do you make them fight?
[08:05] Ike
    They follow their commander's
    orders to the letter, I'm told.
[08:10] Ike
    All of them are exactly equal in strength.
[08:12] Ike
    So the only test is of
    your command abilities.
[08:16] Jiron
    And those weapons?
[08:18] Ike
    We're free to use them as we like.
[08:20] Jiron
    That's wonderful.
[08:23] Jiron
    The Demon Lord's so generous!
[08:42] Satie
    Here you go.
[08:45] Ike
    Satie, what do you think is
    the best way to win a battle?
[08:49] Satie
    Um, I don't know.
[08:52] Ike
    Okay, let's say you're
    going to get into a fight.
[08:55] Ike
    How will you fight?
[08:56] Satie
    I don't want to fight.
[08:59] Satie
    I'd rather solve things over a cup of tea.
[09:04] Ike
    I agree completely.
[09:06] Ike
    But there many people in this world who aren't
    satisfied unless they get to fight someone.
[09:14] Ike
    Just hypothetically.
[09:15] Ike
    How would you fight, Satie?
[09:17] Satie
    If I had to...
[09:22] Satie
    I'd use a broom!
[09:25] Satie
    But I don't think I could really hit someone.
[09:30] Ike
    That's correct.
[09:32] Ike
    A broom.
[09:34] Ike
    A weapon would allow you to attack
    without getting close to the enemy.
[09:39] Ike
    A sword's a better choice than a dagger.
[09:40] Ike
    And a spear's a better choice than a sword.
[09:42] Ike
    And a bow is even better.
[09:44] Ike
    The way to win is always to
    be able to strike from afar.
[09:49] Ike
    Well, of course my opponent knows that.
[09:54] Satie
    From afar?
[09:56] Satie
    Oh, I remember my master in Arsenam
    saying that crossbows are amazing.
[10:02] Ike
    Crossbows?
[10:04] Ike
    That's not a bad idea.
[10:06] Ike
    They can penetrate metal armor,
[10:08] Ike
    and are easier to use than bows.
[10:12] Ike
    But that's not enough.
[10:15] Ike
    I need something more powerful than a
    crossbow, something they don't know about.
[10:20] Ike
    I know just the thing!
[10:23] Ike
    I can make guns!
[10:25] Satie
    Guns?
[10:27] Satie
    I've never heard of them. Are they strong?
[10:32] Ike
    They're incredibly strong.
[10:34] Ike
    They're more powerful and
    longer-ranged than crossbows.
[10:37] Ike
    They allow you to attack from
[10:39] Ike
    hundreds of meters away without
    your foe being able to fire back.
[10:43] Satie
    That's amazing!
[10:45] Satie
    But can you make something like that?
[10:48] Ike
    The commander of the Seventh Corps
    is an incredibly powerful alchemist.
[10:55] Ike
    She'll tell me there's nothing
    she can't do. I know it.
[10:59] Cefiro
    There are some things I can't do.
[11:05] Cefiro
    This thing you made is perfect
    for keeping the sun off.
[11:10] Ike
    No, no, no.
[11:12] Ike
    You always have this confident look on
    your face and say, "I can make anything!"
[11:16] Cefiro
    I'm no god.
[11:19] Cefiro
    How can I make something
    I've never even seen?
[11:22] Ike
    It's an iron cylinder with gunpowder
    inside that explodes to propel a bullet.
[11:27] Ike
    I know you can make it...
[11:31] Cefiro
    Forget that. Why don't
    you join me in the water?
[11:45] Man
    The rumor is that they're sending Ike,
    the commander of the Undying Brigade.
[11:50] Man
    Perhaps she's scared of you, Basteo-sama.
[11:53] Basteo
    She's the commander of the Seventh Corps.
[11:56] Basteo
    She must have some plan.
[12:00] Basteo
    This is a wonderful sword.
[12:02] Man
    It's made from the fangs of a black dragon.
[12:04] Man
    It can cut anything.
[12:07] Basteo
    I like it.
[12:09] Man
    I'll have enough made for
    the puppets immediately!
[12:13] Basteo
    No, I need more.
[12:15] Man
    Huh?
[12:18] Sniper
    I've returned.
[12:20] Basteo
    How goes it?
[12:21] Sniper
    I believe you're sure to win.
[12:25] Basteo
    Of course I am.
[12:35] Ike
    Sheesh.
[12:37] Ike
    Does she realize that if I lose, she'll die?
[12:47] Ike
    Oh, thanks.
[12:51] Dairokuten
    You're welcome.
[12:58] Ike
    Th-The Demon Lord!
[13:02] Ike
    What's she doing here?
[13:04] Ike
    When I'm dressed like this?
[13:07] Ike
    No, wait.
[13:08] Ike
    I don't have my mask on.
[13:09] Ike
    So she shouldn't know who I am.
[13:14] Dairokuten
    Open it.
[13:15] Ike
    I'm sorry?
[13:18] Dairokuten
    Don't make me repeat myself!
[13:19] Ike
    Right!
[13:21] Ike
    Th-These are...
[13:27] Dairokuten
    These are what you were looking for, right?
[13:31] Dairokuten
    Ike.
[13:41] Ike
    "I-Ike"?
[13:45] Ike
    That's not my name.
[13:49] Dairokuten
    Don't bother trying to hide it.
[13:51] Dairokuten
    Romberg told me.
[13:55] Dairokuten
    He said he gave you all
    his knowledge and magic.
[14:00] Ike
    So I was right.
[14:03] Dairokuten
    And that you were human, too.
[14:08] Ike
    But if you knew I was human, then why...
[14:13] Dairokuten
    To make my wish come true.
[14:17] Dairokuten
    No matter how much power I possess,
[14:21] Dairokuten
    that's not enough on its own.
[14:23] Dairokuten
    I need people who will fight for me.
[14:27] Ike
    Your "wish"?
[14:31] Dairokuten
    The world.
[14:35] Dairokuten
    I'll build the world
    I desire here in this land.
[14:38] Dairokuten
    And for that to happen, I need as
    many people as possible to serve me.
[14:45] Dairokuten
    Ike, I'm sure you will offer me much.
[14:52] Dairokuten
    And so, what is your answer?
[14:55] Ike
    As you wish!
[14:57] Dairokuten
    I see.
[15:06] Cefiro
    So these are guns, huh?
[15:08] Ike
    The Demon Lord prepared them for me.
[15:11] Cefiro
    There's a lot about her I don't understand.
[15:14] Cefiro
    And so?
[15:14] Cefiro
    I make these "bullets" out of lead?
[15:21] Cefiro
    How about this?
[15:22] Ike
    No, you should know that's too big.
[15:25] Ike
    Something small enough to fit in here.
[15:28] Cefiro
    Why didn't you say so?
[15:30] Cefiro
    Detailed work makes my skin a mess.
[15:35] Ike
    You'll die if I lose, you know.
[15:43] Jiron
    Wh-What happened?
[15:46] Cefiro
    I didn't sense any magic.
[15:48] Cefiro
    Was that your doing?
[15:50] Ike
    Yes.
[15:56] Fiorentina
    Ike-sama, we've created what you asked for.
[16:00] Ike
    Well done, Fiorentina.
[16:03] Fiorentina
    But what is it?
[16:07] Fiorentina
    Why would charcoal, sulfur, and
    saltpeter cause such an explosion?
[16:12] Ike
    It's something called "gunpowder."
[16:14] Ike
    Commander, the bullets.
[16:15] Cefiro
    Here.
[16:18] Ike
    Perfect.
[16:20] Ike
    Commander, please get me another 500 or so.
[16:24] Cefiro
    You heard him.
[16:27] Cefiro
    Detail work is bad for my skin.
[16:32] Ike
    Sorry. Please make me gunpowder and bullets.
[16:35] Fiorentina
    Of course.
[16:36] Fiorentina
    This is nothing new.
[16:38] Jiron
    I'll help, too.
[16:41] All
    Please don't.
[16:43] Jiron
    Huh?
[17:12] Basteo
    What are those?
[17:14] Basteo
    Are you going to fight with just shields?
[17:19] Basteo
    Where's Cefiro?
[17:21] Basteo
    Off devising some plot?
[17:25] Basteo
    That's probably smart, honestly.
[17:28] Basteo
    It's clear how this is going to end up.
[17:34] Ike
    That weaponry...
[17:35] Basteo
    You noticed, huh?
[17:39] Ike
    Damascus steel?
[17:40] Basteo
    Correct.
[17:43] Basteo
    The strongest of metals, which can be
    penetrated by neither spear nor arrow.
[17:47] Basteo
    You won't be able to land
    a blow on my puppets.
[17:53] Basteo
    A gift from the Demon Lord.
[17:58] Basteo
    It seems the Demon Lord desires my victory.
[18:06] (Flashback) Dairokuten
    Ike, I'm sure you will offer me much.
[18:12] Ike
    Does she want an equal fight?
[18:15] Ike
    Or is this some kind of test?
[18:20] Ike
    I'll ask after I win.
[18:23] Man
    The duel between the commander
    of the Third Corps, Basteo,
[18:27] Man
    and of the Seventh Corps,
    Cefiro, will now begin!
[18:31] Man
    Both sides will command
    an army of 50 puppets.
[18:35] Man
    The one who defeats all the enemy's
    puppets will be the winner.
[18:39] Man
    The loser will die here, today!
[18:47] Man
    Now, let the duel begin!
[18:51] Basteo
    Fire!
[18:56] Ike
    Block.
[19:01] Basteo
    Charge.
[19:11] Basteo
    What's wrong?
[19:13] Basteo
    Don't you have any
    tactics besides defending?
[19:20] Basteo
    Attack back.
[19:22] Basteo
    You're boring me.
[19:48] Ike
    Fire.
[19:56] Basteo
    What are those?
[20:04] Ike
    Fire.
[20:17] Dairokuten
    Indeed.
[20:33] Basteo
    I-Impossible... Impossible!
[20:37] Basteo
    My puppets...
[20:43] Dairokuten
    The battle is over, Basteo.
[20:46] Basteo
    D-Demon Lord!
[20:49] Dairokuten
    I've prepared two choices for you.
[20:53] Dairokuten
    Kill yourself.
[20:55] Dairokuten
    Die an honorable death.
[21:00] Dairokuten
    Or I will kill you.
[21:06] Basteo
    Demon Lord...
[21:08] Basteo
    I'll choose something else.
[21:12] Basteo
    Yes. One befitting a demon.
[21:19] Ike
    Demon Lord!
[21:37] Ike
    Demon Lord...
[21:45] Ike
    What?!
[21:54] Basteo
    From now on, I'm the Demon Lord!
SIGN    Ambition
