[00:03] Mio
    Basara!
[00:04] Mio
    No!
[00:05] Mio
    Hang in there! Hey!
[00:08] Mask
    Though he was a member of the hero clan,
[00:09] Mask
    he was but a ruined one in the end.
[00:11] Mask
    He was more fragile than I expected.
[00:14] Mio
    Hey!
[00:17] Yuuki
    I'll never forgive you!
[00:19] Yuuki
    How dare you!
[00:21] Mask
    Oh? You're not bad.
[00:25] Mask
    You need to treat him soon,
[00:27] Mask
    or it might be too late for him.
[00:31] Mask
    Do you understand?
[00:33] Mask
    This is the result of your decision.
[00:36] Mio
    My...
[00:38] Mask
    Will you involve others, get them hurt,
[00:40] Mask
    and still continue fighting your futile
    battle to carry out your own revenge?
[00:47] Mask
    However, depending upon your decision,
[00:49] Mask
    all of this could end in an instant.
[00:54] Mio
    Basara...
[00:55] Mio
    I'm sorry.
[00:58] Mio
    I'm so sorry!
[01:00] Mio
    I'm so sorry!
SIGN    Until Sadness Reaches Zero
[02:36] Mio
    How is he?
[02:37] Maria
    His wound has closed,
    and his pulse is normal.
[02:41] Mio
    That's good.
[02:42] (Flashback) Mask
    Think it over well.
[02:47] Maria
    Now if he just gets some rest
    and recovers his stamina...
[02:51] Maria
    Mio-sama?
[02:52] Mio
    Oh, I just felt a little hot.
[02:54] Maria
    That's not good. We should get medicine...
[02:56] Mio
    Don't worry.
[02:57] Mio
    I'll be resting in my room for a bit.
[02:59] Mio
    Take care of the rest here, okay?
[03:01] Maria
    Oh, yes.
[03:05] Maria
    Basara-san!
[03:08] Maria
    I'm sorry. If only I'd arrived a bit sooner.
[03:12] Basara
    No, you helped enough.
[03:15] Maria
    But you're incredible.
[03:16] Maria
    You're conscious already?
[03:19] Basara
    Our clan undergoes special
    physical training for our bodies.
[03:25] Basara
    Starting as kids.
[03:29] (Flashback) Teacher
    Good! Basara, that's enough.
[03:34] (Flashback) Yuuki
    Incredible, Basara!
[03:37] (Flashback) Man
    That's Jin's son for you.
[03:40] (Flashback) Elder
    It's more than just his swordsmanship.
[03:42] (Flashback) Elder
    The power he was born with, too...
[03:44] (Flashback) Elder
    That child is the hope
    of our next generation.
[03:46] (Flashback) Man
    Bad news!
[03:49] (Flashback) Elder
    What happened?
[03:50] (Flashback) Man
    The sacred demon sword!
[03:51] (Flashback) Man
    The seal on Brynhildr has been undone!
[03:54] (Flashback) Yuuki
    "Sacred demon sword"? You mean...
[03:56] (Flashback) Basara
    The sword that sealed the
    evil spirits long ago.
[03:59] (Flashback) Man
    But who?!
[04:00] (Flashback) Man B
    Seito!
[04:02] (Flashback) Elder
    Him?
[04:03] (Flashback) ---
    He always has shown discontent
    with our ceasefire with the demons.
[04:07] (Flashback) Man
    Don't tell me he tried to go
    to the demon realm on his own?
[04:10] (Flashback) Man B
    Worse than that!
[04:11] (Flashback) Man B
    His body's been possessed by the
    evil spirits that were sealed,
[04:13] (Flashback) Man B
    and he's heading for the village!
[04:15] (Flashback) Elder
    What?!
[04:22] (Flashback) Elder
    The children!
[04:23] (Flashback) Elder
    Get the children to safety!
[04:25] (Flashback) Man
    Dammit!
[04:26] (Flashback) Man
    It had to happen while Jin was away!
[04:52] (Flashback) Basara
    Yuki!
[05:12] Maria
    Basara-san?
[05:13] Basara
    Right, where's Mio?
[05:15] Maria
    She said she was feeling
    hot and went to her room.
[05:17] Basara
    Hot? Was it the curse again?
[05:19] Maria
    When the curse activates, she's more...
[05:22] Maria
    squirmy and embarrassed.
[05:26] Maria
    Oh, I'll go call Mio-sama.
[05:29] Basara
    What? Something's nagging at me...
[05:32] Maria
    There's trouble! Mio-sama's—!
[05:36] Basara
    That idiot!
[05:38] Maria
    This is my fault.
[05:40] Maria
    If you could just tell me where she is...
[05:42] Maria
    You're the only one who can sense Mio-sama!
[05:45] Basara
    Let's go, Maria.
[05:46] Maria
    Absolutely not!
    Basara-san, you aren't fully healed.
[05:49] Maria
    I'll go alone...
[05:52] Basara
    Maria.
[06:00] Mio
    The spell to keep people away is complete.
[06:02] Mio
    This is for the best.
[06:04] Mio
    Maria, Basara... I'm sorry.
[06:08] Mask
    It would seem...
[06:09] Mask
    you've reached your decision.
[06:15] Mask
    If you're willing to be the
    sole sacrifice, then...
[06:17] Mask
    all of this will end.
[06:19] Mio
    That's right. I'm the only one...
[06:22] Mio
    who should get hurt fighting!
[06:30] Mio
    Not yet!
[06:37] Mio
    Now...
[06:39] Mask
    Are you satisfied now?
[06:44] Mask
    Your flames are quite pretty.
[06:46] Mask
    Shall I order my subordinates to try and see?
[06:50] Mask
    Your fire spell or the home
    where that former hero sleeps—
[06:54] Mask
    Which do you think will
    make the prettier flame?
[06:56] Mio
    You coward!
[06:57] Mask
    You're the one who got him involved.
[06:59] Mask
    If you're blaming anyone,
    you should blame yourself.
[07:05] Mio
    You're after me, aren't you?
[07:07] Mio
    Please, don't lay a hand
    on Basara or the others.
[07:10] Mask
    That's a wise decision.
[07:12] Mask
    You have a deal.
[07:14] Mask
    Give me your hands.
[07:17] Mask
    Shall we go, then?
[07:19] Mio
    Where do you plan on taking me?
[07:20] Mask
    The demon realm.
[07:22] Mask
    Our master is expecting your vis—
[07:28] Mio
    Nonaka?!
[07:32] Mio
    Why?!
[07:34] Mask
    I'm surprised you would ally with her.
[07:37] Yuuki
    I...
[07:46] Yuuki
    I simply can't forgive you
    after you hurt Basara.
[07:53] Yuuki
    Naruse Mio, you apologized to Basara
    over and over as you cried on that roof.
[08:00] Yuuki
    And now, you're even trying
    to offer yourself up.
[08:04] Yuuki
    I think I can understand why
    Basara is trying to protect you.
[08:09] Mask
    You can't defeat me on your own.
[08:11] Mask
    You should already know that.
[08:13] Yuuki
    Then take this!
[08:22] Mask
    How did you break the barrier?!
[08:24] Yuuki
    If you can't cut it down in one stroke,
[08:26] Yuuki
    then keep cutting until it breaks.
[08:28] Yuuki
    That's all.
[08:30] Mask
    You mean?
[08:31] ---
    You focused all your attacks on the
    exact same spot without erring?
[08:35] Yuuki
    Don't underestimate the hero clan!
[08:41] Mask
    Fine.
[08:42] Mask
    Then allow me to toy with you a bit more.
[08:44] Mio
    Look out!
[08:52] Mask
    Oh? You managed to evade that?
[08:55] Mask
    In that case!
[09:03] Mio
    Nonaka!
[09:06] Yuuki
    I can...
[09:08] Yuuki
    I can still fight. After all, he...
[09:12] Yuuki
    Basara saved this life of mine.
[09:16] Yuuki
    That's how I managed to withstand that
    harsh training and become strong!
[09:22] Mask
    This is the end.
[09:25] Mio
    Stop!
[09:25] Mio
    Nonaka isn't involved!
[09:27] Mio
    I don't care what happens to me! So!
[09:29] Mask
    That's not possible.
[09:31] Mask
    Anyone who interferes with my
    mission will be eliminated.
[09:36] Mio
    No!
[09:37] Mio
    No!
[09:48] Basara
    Leave it to me, Mio!
[09:53] Basara
    Let's go!
[10:00] (Flashback) Elder
    Banishing Shift.
[10:02] (Flashback) Elder
    It renders all forms of attack meaningless.
[10:04] (Flashback) Elder
    Because it eliminates the phenomenon—
    the power's very existence—
[10:07] (Flashback) Elder
    and sends it to the zero dimension.
[10:11] Basara
    Don't be afraid.
[10:14] (Flashback) Woman
    It eliminates everything,
    even the remains of its victims?
[10:18] (Flashback) Man
    It's dangerous!
[10:19] (Flashback) Woman
    It's frightening!
[10:20] (Flashback) Man
    It's too dangerous!
[10:21] (Flashback) Elder
    We should confine Basara and
    the demon sword Brynhildr
[10:24] (Flashback) Elder
    in order to prevent a repeat of this tragedy!
[10:28] Mask
    Give up.
[10:32] Basara
    Don't run!
[10:33] Basara
    I've learned from Mio!
[10:37] Basara
    Protect what you want to protect!
[10:53] Yuuki
    B-Basara, that power!
[10:55] Basara
    It's incomplete, but I can
     handle doing this much.
[10:59] Basara
    I won't be able to fight for long.
[11:11] Mask
    I see.
[11:12] Mask
    Then I'll readjust my evaluation.
[11:14] Mask
    The biggest hindrance to my mission...
[11:17] Mask
    is you, Toujou Basara!
[11:28] Basara
    Now!
[11:34] Mask
    Not a scratch?!
[11:35] Basara
    You're mine!
[11:41] Mask
    The power to eliminate my attacks...
[11:44] Mask
    What on earth is that?
[11:46] Mask
    It looks as though it activates
    only as a counterattack...
[11:50] Mask
    but if it were to activate without limits,
[11:52] Mask
    it would have the potential
    to destroy this entire ci—
[11:54] Basara
    Shut up!
[11:55] Mask
    However, a counterattack
    is meaningless here.
[12:00] Mask
    Unfortunately, this is as far as you go.
[12:03] Basara
    Yeah, it is unfortunate. For you.
[12:06] Basara
    Maria!
[12:13] Mask
    A succubus?!
[12:18] Basara
    Too slow!
[12:22] Mask
    Toujou!
[12:23] Mask
    Basara!
[12:47] Yuuki
    Basara.
[12:48] Basara
    It's over.
[12:53] Maria
    Mio-sama!
[12:55] Maria
    I was so worried!
[12:57] Maria
    I was so, so worried!
[13:01] Mio
    Sorry.
[13:02] Mio
    I'm sorry.
[13:04] Basara
    Looks like you're safe.
[13:06] Mio
    Yes. Th-Thank—
[13:09] Basara
    What's wrong?
[13:14] Yuuki
    Basara!
[13:22] Mio
    No!
[13:47] Basara
    Wh-What happened?
[13:51] Basara
    Mio!
[13:54] Basara
    Is this the Demon Lord Wilbert's power?
[13:57] Mio
    B-Basara!
[14:00] Basara
    Calm down. See? I'm fine.
[14:03] Basara
    It's all over now.
[14:05] Mio
    No!
[14:06] Basara
    What?
[14:07] Mio
    I can't!
[14:08] Mio
    Holding this power back is all I can do,
[14:11] ---
    and I can barely do that!
[14:12] Basara
    A gravity wave...
[14:14] Basara
    If it keeps going out of control...
[14:16] Mio
    Please, Basara...
[14:18] Mio
    I can't keep this power under
    control any longer. So...
[14:22] Basara
    Wait! Don't give up!
[14:24] Mio
    There's no time!
[14:25] Mio
    Please, before I end up
    destroying this world!
[14:30] Mio
    Kill me!
[14:35] Basara
    I refuse!
[14:38] Mio
    Y-You idiot!
[14:39] Mio
    It should be clear what
    you're supposed to protect!
[14:41] Basara
    I'm not a hero anymore.
[14:43] Basara
    But I am your family!
[14:46] Basara
    Your brother!
[14:47] Basara
    And brothers protect their little sisters,
[14:51] Basara
    even if it means turning
    against the entire world!
[14:55] Basara
    I'm bringing you home.
[14:57] Mio
    Huh?
[14:58] Basara
    I'm definitely bringing you home.
[15:00] Basara
    You and I are going home together!
[15:03] Basara
    If you're my little sister,
[15:05] Basara
    then shut up and let your
    brother protect you!
[15:09] Mio
    Yes... Yes...
[15:12] Mio
    Please,
[15:14] ---
    help me, Onii-chan!
[15:19] Basara
    I should be able to save Mio
    with a complete Banishing Shift.
[15:25] Basara
    I need to discern the root of the
    power going out of control...
[15:28] Basara
    Then eliminate only that.
[15:34] Basara
    Just hold on, and I'll get rid of it.
[15:36] Basara
    I'll reduce all your sadness
    and suffering to nothing.
[15:47] Basara
    Banishing Shift.
[15:59] Basara
    Let's go home.
[16:01] Mio
    Yeah.
[16:11] Maria
    Yes?
[16:13] ---
    Oh, hello.
[16:16] Yuuki
    About earlier...
[16:17] Yuuki
    Umm, where's Basara?
[16:19] Maria
    He's sleeping.
[16:21] Maria
    He pushed himself so hard when his
    wounds hadn't finished healing, so...
[16:26] Maria
    What's this?
[16:27] Yuuki
    A medicine passed down in our village.
[16:29] Yuuki
    Since Basara bears the blood of us heroes,
[16:31] Yuuki
    it should be especially effective.
[16:33] Maria
    Thanks you for going so far.
[16:35] Maria
    Come in, come in.
[16:37] Yuuki
    I just wanted to bring this by.
[16:38] Yuuki
    Take care.
[16:47] Yuuki
    Banishing Shift.
[16:52] Yuuki
    That...
[16:55] Yuuki
    Was that the same as before?
[16:58] Yuuki
    No.
[16:59] Yuuki
    He controlled its power.
[17:05] Yuuki
    So he's finally...
[17:07] ---
    he's finally facing it.
[17:12] Yuuki
    Welcome back,
[17:14] ---
    Basara.
[17:18] Mio
    It's been a week since we were at school.
[17:20] Basara
    You didn't have to take off, too, Mio.
[17:23] Mio
    Wh-Who cares?
[17:24] Mio
    I told them we both came
    down with a summer cold.
[17:27] Maria
    That's right.
[17:28] Maria
    Thanks to the medicine we
    received from Nonaka Yuki-san
[17:31] ---
    and Mio-sama's warm—
    oh so warm—and tender care,
[17:34] Maria
    he didn't need to be hospitalized.
[17:37] Mio
    M-Maria!
[17:43] Teacher
    When you analyze this passage
    from the beginning,
[17:45] Teacher
    the subject of the first line—
[17:53] Takigawa
    Hey, Basacchi.
[17:54] Takigawa
    Is it okay for someone who just
    recovered to be skipping out?
[17:57] Basara
    Weren't you the only one
    who could open this lock?
[18:00] Takigawa
    Well, this is a big school.
[18:02] Takigawa
    I'm sure there's someone.
[18:04] Basara
    Were you all right?
[18:07] Takigawa
    Hmm? Oh, you mean that night?
[18:09] Takigawa
    What happened there?
[18:11] Takigawa
    You suddenly elbowed me in the
    sternum and then ditched me.
[18:15] Basara
    Not that part.
[18:17] Basara
    I cut you up quite a bit
    there at the park, didn't I?
[18:23] Takigawa
    What are you talking about?
[18:25] Basara
    If you plan on acting
    innocent, you'll regret it.
[18:34] Takigawa
    When did you notice?
[18:36] Basara
    That night at school you were talking
    about how Mio collapsed, right?
[18:40] (Flashback) Takigawa
    I was surprised when
    she suddenly collapsed.
[18:42] (Flashback) Takigawa
    Her face was bright red...
    She seemed awfully embarrassed.
[18:46] Basara
    Wouldn't one normally think she had a fever,
[18:49] Basara
    if she was wobbling and had a flushed faced?
[18:52] Takigawa
    No, seeing Naruse's unusual reaction,
[18:55] Takigawa
    I knew her succubus attendant must
    have been involved right away.
[18:58] Takigawa
    I had trouble holding in my laughter, so...
[19:03] Takigawa
    Ahh, I really did it now.
[19:07] Takigawa
    So?
[19:08] Takigawa
    What are you going to do, Basacchi?
[19:16] Basara
    Nothing.
[19:18] Basara
    Right now I'm not sure I can beat
    you for certain, and in fact...
[19:22] Basara
    I want to negotiate with you.
[19:24] Takigawa
    Negotiate?
[19:25] Basara
    Yeah. You're the one the acting Demon
    Lord sent to observe Mio, right?
[19:30] Basara
    So, your goal is to help her
    awaken while you were observing her.
[19:35] Basara
    That's your mission, right?
[19:36] Takigawa
    Things nearly went well back
    there at the park, though.
[19:39] Basara
    But you failed.
[19:43] Basara
    If he finds out you failed in your mission,
[19:45] Basara
    the acting demon lord will probably
    send someone even more powerful.
[19:48] Basara
    And I'm not ready to deal with them yet.
[19:50] Takigawa
    I see.
[19:51] Takigawa
    So either pretend nothing happened
    and continue observing her,
[19:55] Takigawa
    or you and that succubus can tell
    the acting demon lord I screwed up.
[20:01] Basara
    It's not a bad deal, is it?
[20:02] Takigawa
    You and I are enemies.
[20:04] Takigawa
    There's no telling when I might betray you.
[20:07] Basara
    I believe in you.
[20:09] Takigawa
    What makes you say that?
[20:11] Basara
    The fact that I'm still alive right now.
[20:15] Basara
    The shadow that attacked me didn't kill me.
[20:18] Basara
    The dagger it used was
    clearly avoiding my vitals.
[20:21] Takigawa
    That could simply have been luck.
[20:23] Basara
    Then there's Maria.
[20:25] Basara
    She's out hunting demons by herself,
[20:26] Basara
    so there should've been plenty
    of chances to kill her.
[20:30] Basara
    Those are the reasons I believe in you.
[20:37] Takigawa
    You've got quite an imagination.
[20:40] Takigawa
    But well, things have gotten
    difficult for me after what happened.
[20:45] Takigawa
    For now I'll play along, Basacchi,
    with that idea of yours.
[20:49] Basara
    That's a relief.
[20:53] Takigawa
    Now, I need to be heading back.
[20:57] Basara
    Hey, Takigawa,
[20:58] Basara
    do you know who killed Mio's foster parents?
[21:03] Takigawa
    Hold on now.
[21:04] Takigawa
    It's not fair to expect information
     from me without anything in return.
[21:11] Takigawa
    It was Zolgia.
[21:13] Basara
    Zolgia?
[21:15] Takigawa
    He was Naruse's observer before me, but...
[21:18] Takigawa
    He's not the type to remain patient forever.
[21:21] Takigawa
    He will make a move.
[21:26] Jin
    Yeah, I got a message from him.
[21:30] Jin
    I told you so, didn't I?
