The result of materializing and dematerializings
her Symphogear is that it's invading
her body even more deeply.
Does this fusion threaten her in any way?
She'll probably be dead soon.
She'll die?
That's impossible.
Miku...
Whoever comes after me...
I can't let them have this.
Dr. Ver...
Wh-Why are you here?!
Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron.
Hibiki!
She touched a Noise while she was still human?
Intelligence has lost contact with the pursuit squad!
We're also detecting a Noise-materialization pattern.
It's probably...
Send Tsubasa and Chris-kun now.
Secure the man with the Staff of Solomon, no matter what.
I'm detecting a different high-output energy pattern than that of Noise.
Analyzing now.
It can't be...
Episode 7 When You Stop Being You
Gungnir?
My fists... And my life...
Both are my Symphogear!
The power's filling me up inside.
Wh-What?
This heat...
Is it from Tachibana-san?
What's going on?
You always show up at the worst times,
and ruin whatever I'm doing!
I don't want to be a hero.
Make your wishes come true. Three, two, one, zero!
To create a world where we don't need those things.
I'll burst it... To reach you...
Hibiki...
Always! Always!
There are dreams within my heart.
Always! Always! Always! Always! Always!
It isn't fate, it's my road!
I want to believe. (I want to protect.)
So believe strongly...
And go!
Resound, resound, my heart!
Overcome your tears, my heart!
It's all right, everything is just fine.
It doesn't hurt anymore!
Even if I wilt here,
the warmth will remain.
It will become a seed and sprout,
and my songs will become a billion strengths,
blooming toward tomorrow!
A shield?
A saw, in fact.
Shirabe-chan! Kirika-chan!
My Shul Shagana is actually
far more versatile than its scary appearance would indicate.
It's an effective defensive weapon, as well.
Even so, the two of us at full strength
are just barely managing to hold her back.
I'm sorry, Kiri-chan.
I can't brace myself with these heels.
It's fine!
Heretical technology, based on the Sakurai Theory,
is not the exclusive domain of the Special Disaster Mobile Response Team.
The doctor's summoning of Noise
allows us to easily track his position.
But, Mom...
I'm aware.
If we've detected it, so have they.
Let's hurry.
You heard that?
Recover the doctor and get out immediately.
That's the idea, but...
Dealing with her won't be that easy!
Since you're working so hard, I have a present for you two.
What did you just do?!
LiNKER?
We still had time before it needed renewing!
That's why I'm using it now.
The only way to deal with that monster
is to fight it with more power than you currently have...
And to make that happen,
the first thing to do is to increase your compatibility values.
But that means the stress from the overdose...
Shut up!
Why would we do that to help you?!
You will...
No, you have to.
You would never have come to save me
out of sense of duty or because you consider me a friend.
Which means that the old bat's condition must have worsened,
so you came running to me!
Nastassja is sick and, without my skills as a biochemist, won't survive.
Now, why not use the power,
currently beyond your limits, to save me?
There's an instability in Hibiki-chan's condition.
Is this
caused by Gungnir's invasion of her body?
Where are Tsubasa and Chris-kun?
They're both hurrying to the area.
But it will take a little more time.
Tachibana, don't do anything stupid.
You...
Let's do it, Kiri-chan.
It's our job to bring the doctor
back to Mom.
Our Climax Song?
Yes... Sing, girls.
Clinical trials have proved that
if your compatibility values reach maximum,
the backfire's impact can be lessened!
So, with that LiNKER I just injected you with,
you can sing as many Climax Songs as you want!
I guess we have no choice!
It'll be okay, right?
Of course.
Tachibana-san can't lose here!
But if we stay here, we'll get in Bikky's way.
Let's get out of here now!
Gatrandis Babel ziggurat Edenal.
No... Is that a Climax Song?
Emustolronzen Finé el Balal zizzl.
Then I've done this to them, too?
Gatrandis Babel ziggurat Edenal.
No...
A Climax Song, using LiNKER,
will rip the life right out of the wielders!
A double Climax Song, from the goddess Zababa!
Emustolronzen Finé el zizzl.
That's the perfect solution for this situation,
as long as I have this...
I'll be able to take this back, too.
The Shul Shagana's Climax Song
is an endless series of strikes from a spinning wheel.
Even if I can't slice her into pieces, as long as I can stop her from moving...
Then the Igalima's Climax Song
will cut the target's soul in half with a single strike.
No physical means of defense will protect you.
It is absolute death!
Gatrandis Babel ziggurat Edenal.
Emustolronzen Finé el Balal zizzl.
Our energy levels aren't rising enough to activate our Climax Songs?
Pressure loss?
Set Harmonics!
She's stealing the energy?
I won't let you two
use your Climax Songs!
No, Hibiki's leaving me.
Kohinata-san!
What's wrong?
Hina, don't go that way!
She took all that raging, destructive energy
into her own body?
By connecting with others,
she can control a Climax Song.
Then, this is nothing to her?
Mom!
Don't worry.
These signals...
They've caught up with us.
Can you hear me?
Bring the doctor and return immediately.
But if we attack now...
Two high-speed signals are approaching your location.
Probably the Ame no Habakiri and Ichaival.
And you're under strain from
the LiNKER overdose, as well.
Obey our orders.
Understood.
I'm better than I'd expected...
Even though we sang our Climax Songs?
Did she protect us?
Why would she protect us?
Hibiki!
No! Hibiki!
Don't! You'll get a lot worse than a burn!
But Hibiki...
Imyuteus Ame no Habakiri tron.
Cavalry Flash
Hibiki! Hibiki!
I wasn't able to protect Tachibana?
You couldn't protect her?
What are you talking about?
Did you know this would happen to her?!
Answer me!
Hibiki... Hibiki!
Hibiki!
The numbers are stable.
For your age, you have amazing endurance.
Or did you use every ounce of mental energy you had?
I'm relieved.
I'm really glad!
What was I trying to make
these gentle children do?
I should have realized sooner that playing terrorist
wouldn't do anything to save us from the coming disaster.
Our immediate first-aid attempts were successful.
Successful? Then Hibiki's okay?
Yes.
Okay, let's get to the point.
This is the Nephilim's...
Its awakened heart, which I spent so much effort in recovering.
By giving it the requisite number of relics,
it was finally able to unleash its full power.
This heart and what you acquired five years ago...
Have you forgotten?
The Shenshoujin that you, Finé, stole from a Mt. Minakami excavation team.
Yes, that's right...
Maria's memories have not completely recovered.
Regardless, for the immediate future, handling the relics is my job.
We'll discuss this in private.
My apologies.
Moving on...
The Shenshoujin, which breaks Frontier's seal,
and the Nephilim heart that activates it
are in our grasp at last.
And for some time, we've known Frontier's exact location.
That's right.
Our crazy party preparations are all set!
All that's left is for humanity
to dance to our capriccio!
We'll move the plan into the final phase shortly.
But for now, I'm going to rest a little...
Right now, globalization is proceeding more rapidly than ever.
Trans-border economic activity...
There's something I want you to know.
Damn it all!
The relic fragments buried in her chest are eating away at Hibiki-kun's body.
If this proceeds,
she'll cease to be who she is.
In other words, if Hibiki doesn't fight again,
it won't hurt her anymore?
For Hibiki-kun, you are the most important tie
she has to her everyday life.
I believe that the peaceful time she shares with you
is the one thing that can stop Gungnir from taking her over.
I can save Hibiki?
I want you to protect Hibiki-kun.
I have to protect her.
Shopping's a lot of fun,
but when there's all this stuff to buy, it's just boring work!
Nothing to be done for it.
Until the side effects from the LiNKER overdose wear off,
we're in charge of the chores.
I'll carry those for you!
You don't seem to be doing well.
Thanks. But I'm fine.
Okay, then we'll take a break!
After all that's happened, I understand now...
How weak my resolve and dedication were.
And what the result of that will be.
That's why, Mom, I—
There is no need.
There are many bad things,
but we're so free.
Back at the orphanage, I never could've imagined it.
Yeah, you're right.
We were locked up there
to serve as vessels for Finé's soul.
And Maria took her soul, in our place.
It's so scary to think about losing who you are,
but we ended up putting that burden on Maria.
Shirabe!
Have you felt like that this whole time?
I'm fine. I rested here, so...
Shirabe!
I don't need you to play the role of the new Finé anymore.
Mom, what are you talking about?
You are Maria Cadenzavna Eve.
You are only gentle Maria,
without Finé's soul within you.
Finé's soul
did not enter any of the vessels...
That's all.
Huh?
What's going on?
