[00:09] (Flashback) MC
    Winner of the first match is...
[00:11] (Flashback) MC
    Naruse Mio!
[00:15] Maria
    I won't either.
SIGN    "Those Contending For The Future"
[02:02] MC
    No one knows where he comes from,
[02:05] MC
    but everyone knows how strong he is!
[02:09] MC
    The Masked Noble,
[02:11] ---
    Lars,
[02:14] MC
    finally takes the stage!
[02:22] Maria
    Why did you betray us?
[02:25] Lars
    Hey, now,
[02:26] ---
    what good does asking that at this point do?
[02:29] Lars
    If I told you I had my own reasons,
[02:32] Lars
    would you go easy on me?
[02:36] MC
    Second Match!
[02:38] MC
    Lars versus Maria!
[02:42] MC
    Go! Fight!
[02:47] Lars
    Could you be any more predictable?
[03:00] Lars
    I can't believe you'd use Valga's technique.
[03:03] Lars
    But—
[03:11] Lars
    Did you think you'd be safe
[03:14] Lars
    if you stayed in melee?
[03:17] MC
    That's our impressive Masked Noble!
[03:20] MC
    He's on a different level from that succubus!
[03:23] Kurumi
    Maria!
[03:25] Zest
    An explosion can be blocked
    by a magic barrier
[03:27] Zest
    as long as there's even a faint gap.
[03:33] Mio
    And Maria's even a lot
    stronger than she was then.
[04:20] Lars
    Your guard's wide open!
[04:30] Crowd
    He nailed it!
[04:31] Crowd
    Take that, bitch!
[04:49] Maria
    Prepare yourself!
[04:55] Noel
    Lars...
[04:57] Noel
    Why?
[05:06] (Flashback) Lars
    Don't cry!
[05:09] (Flashback) Lars
    We're going to become stronger!
[05:11] (Flashback) Lars
    We need to be strong enough
[05:14] (Flashback) ---
    that we won't lose to anyone!
[05:18] (Flashback) Lars
    So...
[05:20] (Flashback) ---
    don't cry over this!
[05:23] Noel
    Lars...
[05:32] Maria
    Why?!
[05:34] Lars
    How many times have you fought in that form?
[05:37] Lars
    Only a few at most, right?
[05:41] Lars
    It's worse when that's the first time
    you've transformed in the demon realm.
[05:45] Lars
    You're at the mercy of your own great power.
[05:49] Lars
    Avoiding attacks like that...
[05:54] Lars
    is hardly difficult.
[05:58] Lars
    You're asking for too much if you think
    using power you're not used to
[06:03] ---
    will win the match.
[06:08] Lars
    I'm sure you wanted to win
    no matter what, but...
[06:11] Lars
    Too bad for you.
[06:21] Crowd
    Kill her!
[06:23] Crowd
    Kill her!
[06:25] Crowd
    Kill her!
[06:27] ---
    Kill her!
[06:31] Lars
    Shut up!
[06:39] Lars
    Listen close!
[06:40] Lars
    Whom I kill and when is my choice!
[06:44] Lars
    Be quiet!
[06:51] MC
    Uhh...
[06:53] MC
    I-It's settled!
[06:56] MC
    Winner of the second match: Lars!
[06:58] MC
    Now the score is tied one-to-one!
[07:01] MC
    Yay!
[07:02] Rukia
    Pardon me.
[07:09] Noel
    Lars is still Lars.
[07:12] Mio
    I'm sorry!
[07:13] Mio
    I'm going to go check on Maria!
[07:22] Rukia
    Maria...
[07:29] Yuki
    Basara...
[07:33] Kurumi
    Zest.
[07:34] Kurumi
    We're out of drinks.
[07:36] Kurumi
    Sorry, but could you bring us some?
[07:39] Zest
    Huh?
[07:40] Kurumi
    Please.
[07:44] Zest
    All right.
[07:52] Yuki
    You're up next, Kurumi.
[07:55] Yuki
    You need to hurry.
[07:57] Kurumi
    Yeah,
[07:58] ---
    I'm going.
[08:00] Kurumi
    I'm going, but...
[08:03] Kurumi
    Onee,
[08:04] ---
    listen.
[08:08] Kurumi
    Mio's not the only one
[08:10] ---
    who gets to decide what she wants.
[08:13] Yuki
    Huh?
[08:14] Kurumi
    You can go where you want
[08:15] ---
    and do what you want, too.
[08:19] Kurumi
    Everyone, including me,
[08:21] ---
    will support you all the way.
[08:26] Kurumi
    At the very least, say everything
    you want to say to me.
[08:33] Yuki
    Kurumi,
[08:35] ---
    I...
[08:44] Yuki
    Kurumi,
[08:46] ---
    thank you.
[08:58] ---
    Third Stage!
[09:01] MC
    Admirath versus Nonaka Kurumi!
[09:06] MC
    The loyal retainer of council
    member Lord Madonis,
[09:08] ---
    Viscount Admirath, takes the stage!
[09:12] MC
    His fighting style is
    splendid and magnificent!
[09:15] MC
    He's sure to drown this member of
    the hero clan in a sea of blood!
[09:21] Admirath
    My name is Admirath.
[09:23] Admirath
    Pleasure meeting you.
[09:31] Admirath
    I'm sure you must be concerned
[09:33] ---
    since Jin Toujou's son has yet to return,
[09:35] ---
    but please fight well.
[09:44] Admirath
    I think you can understand
    what I'm requesting of you.
[09:48] Kurumi
    I'm not going to fall for such petty tricks!
[09:52] Kurumi
    Are you stupid?
[09:53] Admirath
    The choice is yours.
[09:55] Admirath
    Just don't forget his fate depends on you.
[10:00] Kurumi
    It's a lie.
[10:01] ---
    It has to be!
[10:03] Kurumi
    But...
[10:04] Kurumi
    But what if...
[10:06] Kurumi
    If I cause Basara to...
[10:08] MC
    Third Match!
[10:10] ---
    Admirath versus Nonaka Kurumi!
[10:14] MC
    Go! Fight!
[10:22] Mio
    Are you sure she's going to be all right?
[10:25] Rukia
    Yes. Don't worry.
[10:27] Mio
    I see.
[10:43] Leohart
    How is Luka doing?
[10:45] Balflear
    He's in a state of shock,
[10:47] Balflear
    but he's resting in the medical room for now.
[10:50] Leohart
    I see.
[10:52] Lars
    Setting that aside,
[10:53] Lars
    we have immediate matters here.
[10:55] Leohart
    Yes...
[10:59] Yuki
    Kurumi?
[11:11] Yuki
    Something's wrong.
[11:13] Yuki
    This isn't how she fights.
[11:16] Yuki
    Kurumi...
[11:18] Leohart
    Something's off.
[11:19] Lars
    Yes.
[11:21] Lars
    They look like they're fighting fiercely,
[11:22] Lars
    but their attacks are too simple.
[11:25] Lars
    First of all, that young woman would never
[11:27] Lars
    challenge Admirath to a contest of speed.
[11:32] Balflear
    Most likely,
[11:33] ---
    Admirath did something
    to her before the match.
[11:43] Balflear
    What shall we do?
[11:44] Lars
    We have no obligations to help her, right?
[11:47] Lars
    This is a war.
[11:49] Leohart
    But...
[11:50] Leohart
    I'm concerned about the council's plots.
[11:53] Balflear
    In that case,
[11:53] Balflear
    I'll go investigate them.
[11:58] Balflear
    I have a bit more time
    before my match, after all.
[12:01] Leohart
    Please do.
[12:11] Admirath
    Very good.
[12:12] Admirath
    It's fun living up to the
    crowd's expectations.
[12:27] Admirath
    Go, my trusted steed!
[12:35] Kurumi
    Basara-niichan!
[12:40] Yuki
    Kurumi!
[12:46] Admirath
    You danced wonderfully for me.
[12:48] Admirath
    I appreciate it,
[12:50] Admirath
    young heroine.
[12:56] Admirath
    Farewell.
[13:07] Admirath
    What do you think you're doing?
[13:11] Zest
    The match has already been determined.
[13:13] Admirath
    Do you have any right to decide that?
[13:16] Zest
    Why, you!
[13:18] Madonis
    Fine, then!
[13:20] Madonis
    I'll accept Nonaka Kurumi's defeat.
[13:24] Madonis
    However, even if it was an attempt
    to save your comrade's life,
[13:27] Madonis
    you've interfered with a match before it
    was decided! That sin demands a high price!
[13:33] Madonis
    Therefore, the fourth match
[13:35] Madonis
    will be a defeat by
    disqualification for Zest!
[13:41] MC
    Winner of the third match,
[13:43] ---
    Admirath!
[13:46] MC
    And the fourth match is a
    victory for us by default!
[13:50] Rukia
    What vulgar tricks.
[13:51] MC
    Their fate is now
[13:52] Mio
    If we lose the next match,
    it's over for us, isn't it?
[13:52] MC
    but a candle in the breeze!
[13:55] ---
    Yahoo!
[13:56] Mio
    Basara...
[14:07] Belphegor
    Hmph.
[14:08] Belphegor
    Again?
[14:10] Belphegor
    How boring.
[14:24] Belphegor
    Twerp.
[14:27] Belphegor
    Oh?
[14:29] ---
    That scent is Zolgia's—
[14:32] Belphegor
    I see.
[14:34] Belphegor
    So you prepared that to
    hide yourself from me.
[14:39] Belphegor
    As to be expected from that man's son.
[14:43] Belphegor
    Hmm,
[14:44] ---
    now that I look closely, your
    looks are rather my type as well.
[14:48] Belphegor
    I'm going enjoy
[14:51] Belphegor
    that girl Naruse Mio quite a bit.
[14:55] Belphegor
    I'll use her a thousand,
    or tens of thousands of times,
[14:57] Belphegor
    until both her body and mind give out.
[15:06] Belphegor
    Why you?!
[15:08] Belphegor
    You got cut on purpose?!
[15:10] Belphegor
    I'll never...
[15:13] Belphegor
    Belphegor will never...
[15:17] Basara
    Die.
[15:26] Zest
    I'm so sorry for acting on my own.
[15:30] Yuki
    Kurumi.
[15:34] Yuki
    Ah...
[15:39] Zest
    That's...
[15:40] Zest
    So that was why.
[15:42] Zest
    How dare they!
[15:47] Yuki
    Take care of my little sister.
[15:50] Council
    That was splendid, Admirath!
[15:52] Council
    Indeed. Not only did you win,
[15:55] Council
    you made their next opponent
    lose by disqualification!
[15:58] Admirath
    I thought
[15:59] ---
    I might provide entertainment
    instead of just seizing victory.
[16:03] Madonis
    Scoring two victories for the Council
[16:06] ---
    means a great deal.
[16:10] Admirath
    If I may be greedy,
[16:11] Admirath
    I wish I could've killed
    that hero with my own hands.
[16:14] Madonis
    Still, for things to go this well for us...
[16:18] Madonis
    If this keeps up, we won't
    even need to use "that."
[16:20] Council
    You said it.
[16:24] Madonis
    What's the matter, Admirath?
[16:26] Admirath
    No,
[16:28] ---
    it seems it was just my imagination.
[16:33] Balflear
    "Won't even need to use 'that,'"
[16:36] ---
    huh?
[16:38] Balflear
    I should investigate to be sure.
[16:42] MC
    It's time for our next warrior to arrive!
[16:45] MC
    Head of Council,
[16:47] ---
    Lord Benares's personal guard,
[16:49] MC
    unmatched in brute strength,
    the King of Destruction,
[16:51] ---
    Volga!
[16:55] MC
    Crush her! Break her!
[16:57] MC
    Stomp her into the ground!
[16:59] Crowd
    Vo-l-ga!
[17:00] ---
    Vo-l-ga!
[17:02] MC
    Fifth stage!
[17:04] MC
    Volga versus
[17:06] ---
    Nonaka Yuki!
[17:09] Volga
    Oh, was it you?
[17:10] Volga
    Are you the hero who killed
    my older brother, Valga?
[17:15] Volga
    Oh, don't misunderstand.
[17:17] Volga
    He was a failure who was all talk.
[17:19] Volga
    It was natural he'd be killed.
[17:21] Volga
    Just don't think I'm going to
    be the same as that washout.
[17:27] Volga
    You're a cold woman.
[17:30] Volga
    Is it that?
[17:30] Volga
    Are you too embarrassed after your
    little sister lost so pathetically?
[17:37] Volga
    Heh,
[17:38] ---
    so you can make a face like that too, huh?
[17:41] Volga
    Listen, cowardly sister of
    that shitty piece-of-trash woman,
[17:44] Volga
    it'll be only one blow!
[17:46] Volga
    In one blow, I'll turn you into mincemeat!
[17:50] MC
    Fifth match!
[17:51] MC
    Go! Fight!
[18:00] Volga
    Take this!
[18:10] Volga
    Hmm?
[18:26] MC
    W-Winner of the fifth match,
[18:29] MC
    Nonaka Yuki!
[18:32] Lars
    Hey, hey,
[18:34] ---
    he got done in more smoothly
[18:36] Lars
    than his washout brother.
[18:39] Noel
    We did it!
[18:42] Noel
    Thank goodness!
[18:44] Zest
    If Rukia-sama loses the next match...
[18:47] Zest
    No, even if she wins it...
[18:50] Mio
    Don't worry.
[18:51] ---
    Basara will return.
[18:53] (Flashback) Basara
    No matter what happens,
[18:55] (Flashback) Basara
    believe in me.
[18:58] Mio
    I'm sure he'll be back.
[19:10] Balflear
    Th-This is...
[19:14] Lars
    So,
[19:15] ---
    what do we now, Leohart?
[19:18] Lars
    It's definitely getting too late.
[19:20] Lars
    You can't even reach him
    with your contact magic?
[19:23] Leohart
    No.
[19:24] ---
    I can't sense Balflear's
    spiritual presence anywhere.
[19:28] Lars
    First Toujou Basara disappears,
[19:31] Lars
    now it's Balflear, huh?
[19:34] Lars
    You don't think...
[19:36] Leohart
    I know Balflear.
[19:38] Leohart
    He won't fall into the
    council's hands that easily.
[19:42] Leohart
    I'm sure he has his own
    reasons for his actions.
[19:45] Lars
    But you know,
[19:47] Lars
    at this rate,
[19:48] ---
    the council will take advantage of us again.
[19:52] MC
    I can't believe it!
[19:55] MC
    The vice-general Balflear has
    forfeited the sixth match!
[19:58] MC
    It's their victory by default!
[20:02] Crowd
    Is that even possible?!
[20:04] Crowd
    We'll kill you!
[20:05] MC
    However! Worry not!
[20:08] MC
    Because—!
[20:10] MC
    We have His Majesty, Leohart with us!
[20:14] Crowd
    Leohart!
[20:16] Crowd
    Leohart!
[20:17] Mio
    Leohart's...
[20:17] Crowd
    Leohart!
[20:18] Zest
    But Basara still isn't...
[20:25] Rukia
    It looks like Basara-sama hasn't returned.
[20:30] Rukia
    Then we'll have Ramsus-sama
[20:32] ---
    take part in the final battle.
[20:34] Rukia
    Any problems?
[20:36] Mio
    Wait!
[20:38] Mio
    I know Basara will—!
[20:47] MC
    Look at this!
[20:49] MC
    The ultimate stage,
    perfect for the final battle
[20:50] MC
    to determine the fate of the demon realm!
[20:54] MC
    The most forbidden land
    in all the demon realm!
[20:56] MC
    The eternal battlefield,
    blessed by our demon gods!
[20:59] MC
    The Demon Lord's battlefield—!
[21:01] MC
    Xamdu!
[21:06] Yuki
    What's this?
[21:07] Zest
    They're using magic power
[21:08] Zest
    to transform the space into another location.
[21:12] Rukia
    They brought out Xamdu.
[21:14] Rukia
    It looks like we'll have no choice
    but for Ramsus-sama take the field.
[21:18] ---
    What do you mean?
[21:20] Rukia
    That is...
[21:21] ---
    a special battlefield created
[21:23] Rukia
    for those of the Demon Lord's bloodline
    to risk their lives and honor in battle.
[21:27] Rukia
    Only those with the Demon Lord's blood are
[21:29] ---
    able to set foot in it.
[21:32] Mio
    You mean...
[21:34] Zest
    Then,
[21:34] ---
    even if Basara-sama returns,
[21:37] Yuki
    he can't fight on that stage?
[21:42] Mio
    No way...
[22:02] Mio
    Basara!
