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!
