OOFF!
(CHUCKLING)
[LONDARK] IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG.
[NYANTA] LONDARK!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WITH PLANT HWYADEN...?
TELL ME, LONDARK!
AW NOW THAT'S NO WAY TO GREET AN OLD FRIEND.
BESIDES, WHAT REASON DO WE HAVE TO FIGHT WITH ONE ANOTHER?
THEN AGAIN I CAN'T HAVE YOU IN MY WAY EITHER. NOW CAN I?
[NYANTA] DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK?!
[LONDARK] YES, YES. OF COURSE I DO! I DO THE JOB.
THEY GIVE ME MONEY. IT'S QUITE SIMPLE, REALLY.
I'M HERE TO PROVIDE SECURITY FOR THE GENERAL'S LITTLE TOY TRAIN!
[NYANTA] I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES!
[LONDARK] "CONSEQUENCES"? SORRY, MY FRIEND...
I'M AFRAID THAT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL.
[LONDARK] INFERNO STRIKE! HWAH!
COME TO THINK OF IT...!
THAT SEEMS TO BE A THEME FOR THIS PLACE DOESN'T IT?
I NEVER GOT THE MANUAL FOR THIS WORLD EITHER!
ARE YOU SAYING...
WE MIGHT END UP FIGHTING A WAR
WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND, SHIROE?
[SHIROE] IF WE'RE THE LEAST BIT RESPONSIBLE,
THEN WE HAVE TO CONSIDER IT, YES.
[NYANTA, THINKING] TO PUT IT SUCCINCTLY, THIS WORLD WE'RE IN
IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF GOING TO WAR ANY MINUTE.
SHIROE‐ECCHI DID WHAT HE COULD TO MAKE
THAT POINT CLEAR AT THE ROUND TABLE'S FIRST CONFERENCE.
HE WASN'T JOKING, EITHER. WE HAVE TO FIND OUT FOR OURSELVES
HOW WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH THAT THREAT AND
KEEP IT AT BAY IF WE CAN.
LISTEN TO ME, VERY CAREFULLY, LONDARK...
ALL YOU'RE DOING IS HELP CREATE A WAR!
THERE'S NO NEED TO BE SO DRAMATIC.
IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO COMPLAIN TO SOMEONE ABOUT GOING TO WAR,
TAKE IT UP WITH THE PERSON OF THE LAND WHO HIRED ME!
[NYANTA] GUILT BY ASSOCIATION IS STILL GUILT, LONDARK!
[LONDARK] EH. NOT FROM WHERE I STAND! UWAH!
IT'S NOT MY WAR!
THINK OF THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND WHO'LL DIE BECAUSE OF THIS!
YOU MISS WHO I SAID HIRED ME?!
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WANT THIS WAR!
[LONDARK] FROST‐
GWAH!
UWAH!
YAHHHHH!
(STRUGGLING)
WE CAN PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING!
DON'T YOU GET IT?!
NEVER HEAR OF A QUEST FOR PEACE BEFORE!
NOW BACK OFF!
REALLY? DO YOU SERIOUSLY STILL CONSIDER THIS A GAME?
DO NOT CONDESCEND ME!
I NEVER WANTED THIS...! THIS PLACE...
THIS PLACE BROUGHT ME HERE, IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE!
[LONDARK] I NEVER GOT AN INVITATION.
I NEVER GOT MY CHANCE TO RSVP.
OH?
[LONDARK] I WAS ABDUCTED!
WHAT AM I THE ONLY ONE?
DID YOU GET A DIALOGUE BOX LETTING YOU DECIDE?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE KIDNAPPED? "YES" OR "NO"?
[LONDARK] I DIDN'T ASK TO BE HERE
AND I DON'T LIKE BEING HERE.
DO YOU AND YOUR LITTLE LOG HORIZON FRIENDS ENJOY THIS?
DO YOU ACTUALLY PREFER BEING HERE?!
SHUT UP...! YOU KNOW DAMN GOOD AND WELL
NONE OF US WERE INVITED TO MAKE THIS PLACE OUR HOME!
THEN DON'T STAND THERE AND LECTURE ME ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S
WARS WHEN THEY'RE OUT THERE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF US!
[LONDARK] THEY TAKE SOMETHING FROM ME, I TAKE FROM THEM.
IT'S AN EVEN TRADE.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT...
HMPH.
AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE!
HWAH! HWAH! HWAH!
(EXPLOSION) UWAAHHH!
(GROAN)
[LONDARK] DON'T HOLD BACK ON ME, SWASHBUCKLER!
OR IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?
[NYANTA, THINKING] I HATE TO SAY IT,
BUT LONDARK HAS A POINT, MYAH.
WE DIDN'T ASK TO BE HERE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE A KIDNAPPING.
WE'RE VICTIMS AND OUTSIDERS...
IT WAS UNFAIR. AND I SUPPOSE IT'S ONLY RIGHT
THAT SOME OF US WOULD RESENT IT,
AND LASH OUT IN ANGER, AND WANT TO SEE IT TORN DOWN.
I COULD USE MY FIGHTING ABILITY TO REMOVE LONDARK
AND ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER,
BUT IT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION AT BEST, MPH.
(NYANTA EXHALES)
[NYANTA, THINKING] BUT REALLY...
IT WOULDN'T ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING...
AND WE'D BE RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED, MYAH.
[NYANTA] HUH? [LONDARK] TURBULENCE!
HWAH!
(GROANING)
[LONDARK] SO...! YOU HAVE A BETTER WAY
TO HANDLE THIS, OLD FRIEND?
SHOULD I JUST LAY BACK AND LET THIS WORLD
HAVE ITS WAY WITH ME? I'M SORRY I CAN'T DO THAT!
(STRUGGLING)
(GRUNT) MPH.
[NYANTA] LONDARK... WHAT YOU'VE SAID IS TRUE OF ALL MANKIND.
IT'S NOTHING BUT A CHILD'S CONUNDRUM!
WE'RE ALL BORN THE SAME.
PEOPLE, EVERY ONE OF US, DON'T HAVE A SAY IN OUR BIRTH.
IT'S UNFAIR, ISN'T IT...?
BUT WE ALL END UP HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT, RIGHT?
[LONDARK] THAT'S DIFFERENT.
UWAH!
(STRUGGLING)
(SCREAMING)
[NYANTA, STRAINING] WE ALL WOKE UP IN THIS WORLD!
NONE OF US HAD A SAY IN IT!
NONE OF USE HAD A CHOICE! WE'RE JUST HERE!
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE, LONDARK!
WHETHER YOU'RE IN THIS GAME, BACK FROM WHERE WE CAME FROM,
OR ANY OTHER WORLD FOR THAT MATTER.
YES, I'VE HEARD ALL THAT DRIVEL BEFORE...
YOU CAN WAG YOUR FINGER AT ME ALL YOU WANT,
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR
WHO CAN KICK ME OUT AND KEEP ME FROM COMING BACK.
[LONDARK] AND OH YEAH, I'M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO DIE.
[LONDARK] BUT IF YOU KNOW HOW, THEN BY ALL MEANS DO IT!
[LONDARK] KILL ME! PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY, URGHA...!
(STAFF CLATTERING)
UWAH... AH. UGH... (SWORD SLIDING OUT)
[MIZPHA] BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, LONDARK...
YOU MIGHT GET IT. [LONDARK] U‐UGH...
(STRUGGLING)
(GIGGLE)
(SCREAMING)
[NYANTA] UH!
YOU "ADVENTURERS" ARE SO MARVELOUS!
YOU CAN KILL AND DIE TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT
ANY TIME YOU WISH!
[NYANTA] UH... WHAT WAS THAT...? [MIZPHA] HUH?
[NYANTA] WHAT DID YOU KILL HIM FOR?
[MIZPHA] I GOT TIRED OF HIS BLATHERING FOR ONE THING.
THE MORON SAID IT HIMSELF. DEATH ISN'T PERMANENT FOR YOU TWO.
SERIOUSLY, WHEN I THINK ABOUT
ONE OF YOU ADVENTURERS KICKING OFF...
YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST BE SIMPLY CHANGING ROOMS AT A HOTEL.
[NYANTA] GIRL, YOU'RE TRIPPIN'. [MIZPHA] OH, PLEASE!
IT'S THE TRUTH, ISN'T IT?!
OH ANYWAY, WHERE ARE MY MANNERS?
I'M KNOWN AS MIZPHA TRUDE... THE GENERAL CONQUEROR!
AND THAT MAKES ME THE COMMANDING OFFICER HERE!
SO IT WAS YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO WENT AND HIRED THAT FOOL LONDARK.
IS THIS HOW PEOPLE OF THE LAND HANDLE THEIR BUSINESS?
(LAUGHS) SOMEONE LIKE YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN THAT BY NOW!
"PEOPLE OF THE LAND"? "ADVENTURERS"?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
LIVING THINGS LIVE OFF THE DEATH OF OTHER LIVING THINGS!
WE'RE THE STRONG, AND OUR STRENGTH IS A WEAPON!
AND OF COURSE, THE WEAK USE THEIR WEAKNESS TO GET WHAT
THEY WANT! THAT'S THE TRUTH IN ANY WORLD!
[MIZPHA] EHEH! HWAH!
YAHHHH!
HUAH!
[NYANTA, THINKING] SHE'S NOT BAD!
HOW COULD A PERSON OF THE LAND
MASTER A SWORD LIKE THAT?!
[MIZPHA] WHAT RIGHT DOES A PERSON WHO CAN'T DIE
HAVE QUESTIONING MY DESIRES FOR DOMINATION.
[NYANTA] YOU'RE INSTIGATING WAR. HWAH.
UYAH! UH!
UGH...
[MIZPHA] RAAAAGH!
GAHHH!
(GRUNT)
[MIZPHA] UYAH! CAN YOU FEEL IT?! MY LIFE IS ABLAZE WITH GLORY!
I'M BURNING WITH THE FIRE OF WAR!
NOW DANCE WITH ME, YOU ZOMBIE!
HWAH! HA...
[NYANTA] "ZOMBIE"...?
[MIZPHA] WHAT ELSE SHOULD I CALL A FREAK
WHO WON'T DIE!
[NYANTA] SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
VIPER STRIKE RUSH!
[NYANTA] HWAH, HWAH! [MIZPHA] OH...
[MIZPHA] YAH!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL! YOU REALLY ARE AMAZING!
I MEAN... I COULD REALLY FALL FOR YOUR SKILL!
BUT I ALREADY KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE THE STOMACH TO FINISH ME!
[NYANTA] YOU FIND AN UNHEALTHY AMOUNT OF PRIDE
IN A SWORD FUELED BY MALICE!
[NYANTA] ZUWAH! [MIZPHA] UGH!
EARLY BATTLE THRUST!
[MIZPHA] OHH...! [NYANTA] ZUU...
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
[NYANTA] GUH!
HUH?
[NYANTA] HUH? HUAH!
HUH?
[NYANTA] KAZUHIKO...
[DARIELLA] SPIRITUAL HYPNOTICS.
(CRIES, SCREAMS)
[NUREHA, THINKING] THAT WAS STRANGE.
I MEAN ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TOY WITH THEM A BIT.
GAINING THEIR CONFIDENCE SHOULD'VE BEEN SIMPLE.
I WAS FRIENDLY. I SHOULD'VE FIT RIGHT IN.
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS BE NICE TO THEM
AND THOSE CHILDREN WARMED RIGHT UP TO ME.
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN EASY AFTER THAT.
I THOUGHT SHIROE WAS THE ONLY SPECIAL ONE
I'D EVER MEET. I GUESS I WAS WRONG... AGAIN.
I THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING TO THEM BEING IN THE SAME GUILD...
WRONG ABOUT THAT, TOO.
[TOYA] I'M JUST NOT SURE ABOUT YOU.
'CAUSE YOU'RE ALWAYS SMILING.
[DARIELLA] IF YOU THINK SO.
WHY WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO ME?
[TOYA] YOU DON'T... HAVE TO FAKE IT, YOU KNOW.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO... NOT AROUND ANY OF US.
YOU CAN BE... WHOEVER YOU ARE.
[NUREHA, THINKING] HE MIGHT BE YOUNG,
BUT THAT CHILD HAS A STRONG
AND MIGHTY SWORD FORGED DEEP WITHIN HIS HEART.
[NUREHA] HM...
[NUREHA, THINKING] YES! SHIROE'S TEACHINGS ARE
THE WEAPON HE GIVES OTHERS.
NOW I KNOW HOW SPECIAL HE REALLY IS!
[LOREILE] PRINCESS NUREHA!
YOU'RE MAJESTY...!
IT'S NO LONGER SAFE FOR YOU TO BE HERE!
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO TAKE YOU BACK TO THE PALACE?
[NUREHA] WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?
NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE ANYMORE.
WAS MIZPHA BEHIND THIS?
[LOREILE] YES, MILADY!
[NUREHA] I SEE...
[NUREHA, THINKING] I ALLOWED HER TO DO THIS
BECAUSE I DIDN'T GIVE ANY THOUGHT TO THE RESULTS.
I CAME OUT HERE AT HER REQUEST. BUT TO SEE WHAT'S HAPPENED...
[NUREHA] ELIMINATE EVERY WYVERN FROM THE SKY...
AND DESTROY THE NIGHTSHADE SERVANTS ALONG WITH THEM.
HUH?
[LOREILE] ARE YOU SURE, MILADY?
[NUREHA] YOUR CHIEF COUNCILOR GAVE YOU AN ORDER.
[LOREILE] OF COURSE!
[NUREHA, THINKING] MASTER SHIROE, I'LL DO WHAT I CAN
TO GIVE YOUR JUNIOR MEMBERS ALL THE HELP THEY NEED.
OUR TIME TOGETHER WAS SHORT,
BUT THEY EMBRACED ME WITH WARMTH AS ONE OF THEIR OWN.
I WONDER IF YOU'LL NOTICE WHAT I'M DOING...
WILL YOU THINK I'M HINDERING THEM?
OR WILL YOU BE PLEASED?
I GUESS IT'S JUST ANOTHER SILLY WHIM OF MINE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GIVING THEM A GIFT.
[DARIELLA, THINKING] SO PLEASE, HURRY...
I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE ONE MORE TIME, SHIROE.
(HUMMING)
[KAZUHIKO] IT'S BEEN A WHILE, CHIEF NYANTA...
THE TEA PARTY'S LONG SINCE GONE.
[NYANTA] OUT OF THE WAY, KAZUHIKO!
I HAVE TO FINISH THIS BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL.
I THINK NOT. YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAST ME.
WHY ARE YOU MIXED UP WITH THESE PEOPLE OF THE LAND?
[KAZUHIKO] MY SENSE OF DUTY, OF COURSE!
[NYANTA, THINKING] KAZUHIKO IS WORKING TO TURN PLANT HWYADEN
INTO A HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE GUILD.
AT LEAST, THAT'S WHAT SHIROE‐ECCHI SAID.
BUT LOOKING AT HIM NOW,
IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT KAZUHIKO
HAS LOST TOUCH WITH HIS INNER SENSE OF WELL‐BEING.
THERE'S SO MUCH ANGER IN HIM I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL IT.
[MIZPHA] YAHH! YOU'RE GONNA KILL ME WITH BOREDOM! RAH!
HWUH!
[MIZPHA] OPERATION: RED NIGHT IS ALREADY UNDERWAY!
RED NIGHT WILL KNOCK YOU ADVENTURERS OFF
OF YOUR LITTLE PEDESTALS FOR GOOD!
IT'S TIME TO DIE...! NOT THAT IT'LL BOTHER YOU!
(GRUNTING AND GROWLING)
UWAH!
(GRUNT, LAUGH)
MIZPHA!
[MIZPHA] YOU'RE DISAPPOINTING ME, ADVENTURER!
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BE STRONGER!
PHYSICALLY YOU ARE! BUT ALL THAT COMPASSION
IS GOING TO GET YOU KILLED ONE OF THESE DAYS!
AND YOU'LL END UP GETTING OTHERS KILLED...
WITH YOUR RIDICULOUS URGE TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.
HWUH! UYAHHHH
YES! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANNA SEE!
(GROWLING)
[KAZUHIKO] MIZPHA, PLAYTIME'S OVER.
[MIZPHA] YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!
YOU'RE A WATCHDOG, KAZUHIKO!
[KAZUHIKO] THE PRINCESS HAS GIVEN ME DIRECT ORDERS.
AND EVERYONE IN PLANT HWYADEN IS GOING TO FOLLOW HER ORDERS
WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT! [MIZPHA] UNNPH!
[KAZUHIKO] STAND DOWN! THIS OPERATION IS BEING CANCELLED.
(IRRITATED GROWL)
[NYANTA] KAZUHIKO, WHAT IN THE HELL IS PLANT HWYADEN DOING?
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE‐
I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU ANYTHING!
[KAZUHIKO] UWAH! (NYANTA GRUNTING)
[KAZUHIKO, THINKING] THIS IS BETTER THAN THE ALTERNATIVE.
(HARD EXHALE)
HYAH!
UGH! UH
HA‐HWAH
(EXPLOSION)
[KAZUHIKO, THINKING] NOW HE WON'T HAVE THE BLOOD OF
A PERSON OF THE LAND ON HIS HANDS.
[NYANTA, THINKING] KAZUHIKO, DID YOU STEP IN
BECAUSE WE USED TO BE FRIENDS?
WELL, I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU STILL CARE ABOUT ME.
[RUDY] ORB OF LAVA!
[ISUZU] UH‐HEHE
[RUDY] UH?
HWAH!
[ISUZU] UH... HUH?
[RUDY] HUH? WHAT'S GOING ON?
[ISUZU] ARE THOSE KIDS OVER THERE?
(STAGGER)
(COLLAPSE)
(SURPRISED GASPS)
[ISUZU, THINKING] I CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM...
[TOYA] UH?
[ROE2] MY LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER...
BIG SISTER'S HERE! I WON'T ABANDON YOU!
THE FIRST FRIEND I MADE IN THIS WORLD IS WORRIED THAT THERE
ISN'T GONNA BE ANYTHING LEFT HERE BUT SADNESS AND SORROW!
UNABLE TO REACH AN UNDERSTANDING,
HER KINGDOM WAS LEFT TO COLLAPSE.
NOW THE PRINCESS IS SCREAMING INSIDE OF ME!
WALK WITH ME, THE PRINCESS WHO SHATTERS ALL COVENANTS!
DISRUPTOR OF ALL TREATIES!
SWORD PRINCESS AL QUENJE!
[RUDY] HUH? [ISUZU] HM?
(SURPRISED GASP)
HUH?
(STRUMMING HARP)
(EXPLOSION)
[MINORI] OH, WOW!
[RUDY] UH... [ISUZU] UH?
[ISUZU, THINKING] I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ANYONE TODAY.
NOT WITH THE ODDS WE'RE FACING.
BUT I'LL LEND YOU MY VOICE AND MY STRINGS
TO LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALL IMPORTANT TO ME!
I'LL DO WHAT I CAN, AND HOPE IT HELPS.
MUSIC IS SUCH A MINOR, LITTLE THING...
IT CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH...
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SING
ABOUT WANTING TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
WE ALL HAVE TO PLAY A PART!
YOU CAN BE THE GREATEST MUSICIAN THERE EVER WAS!
BUT SONGS, ON THEIR OWN, CAN'T REALLY BRING PEACE TO THE WORLD.
AND THAT'S FINE... BUT EVEN SO...
I'M GOING TO SING FOR YOU...
I KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU WHAT YOU ARE AND I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE FEELING RIGHT NOW... I REALLY DO!
SONGS ARE PRAYERS THAT ARE HEARD AND ANSWERED!
I KNOW THE FEELING ALL TOO WELL.
MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY WERE ALWAYS TELLING ME
TO HANG IN THERE, AND TO NOT GIVE UP.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER BECOME A MUSICIAN...
BUT I'LL TELL YOU THIS MUCH,
I SWEAR I'LL LOVE MUSIC EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!
RUDY DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO BECOME AN ADVENTURER.
IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER IF IT WAS REALLY POSSIBLE...
HE FOUGHT AND HE FOUGHT AGAINST THE INJUSTICES OF THE WORLD!
SO I GUESS I DON'T REALLY NEED TO KNOW
IF I'M A NATURAL BORN MUSICIAN OR NOT.
RUDY. HE BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO MYSELF.
RUDY ALWAYS BELIEVED IN ME... HE GAVE ME MY SONG!
[SERARA] ISUZU!
[BOTH] HUH?!
[RUDY] MISS SERARA!
[SERARA] EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
I DID A QUICK SEARCH WEST OF HERE
TO GET ALL THE PEOPLE OUT OF TOWN!
WOLFY HAS A REALLY GOOD NOSE!
HE MADE SURE WE WERE ABLE TO FIND EVERYBODY
AND GET THEM TO SAFETY.
[TOYA, VOICE CHAT] COME ON, MAN! GIVE IT A REST! [ISUZU] TOYA...?
[SHUNICHI] MOVE IT, KID! I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS!
THIS FIGHT IS FOR THE ODYSSEY KNIGHTS. I DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!
[RUDY] IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE STILL GOING AT IT.
[ISUZU] YEAH! AND TOYA'S NOT LETTING UP!
[SERARA] SOUNDS LIKE THEY'RE ON THE BRIDGE... THEY'RE NEARBY.
[RUDY] DON'T SCREW IT UP BEFORE I GET OUT THERE! OK?
I'M ON MY WAY!
[SERARA] C'MON... [BOTH] MM‐HM
RUNDELLHAUS KODE TO THE RESCUE!
[TOYA] I'M NOT BACKING DOWN!
GAH! (GRUNT)
LISTEN TO ME! THERE'S NO WAY I'M JUST GONNA LET YOU
KILL YOURSELVES! YOU GOT THAT!
[SHUNICHI] I'M NOT TAKING THIS FROM A SNOT‐NOSED LITTLE PUNK!
YOU BETTER GET OUTTA MY WAY BOY...! DON'T MAKE ME DO
SOMETHING THAT WILL SEND YOU TO THE CATHEDRAL.
YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO! DO IT!
GO FOR IT! BUT I'M NOT MOVING!
[RUDY] TOYA!
(GETTING PUNCHED) (ALL GASPING) (TOYA GRUNTING)
[SHUNICHI] YOU WON'T STOP THE ODYSSEY KNIGHTS
FROM THEIR DESTINY...
CLEAR OUR PATH TO THE UNDERWORLD!
[ISUZU] UH!
(QUICK BREATHS)
[RUDY] TOYA!
[ISUZU] THAT'S NOT TRUE!
[TOYA] HUH?
[ISUZU] YOU DON'T NEED A STUPID "DYING GROUND"
OR SOME "PATH TO THE UNDERWORLD..."
MISS ISUZU...?
[ISUZU] RUDY,
YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO?
I WANNA GIVE THIS WORLD ITS 43RD SONG!
I WROTE IT FOR THIS WORLD...
AND I'M GONNA PLAY IT RIGHT HERE AND NOW!
[BOTH] OHHH? (BREATH) [TOYA] MMM.
[ISUZU, THINKING] AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE WORLD...
... WHERE I WALK ALONGSIDE MY FRIENDS.
I'LL ADMIT IT...
...IT'S NOT PERFECT... FAR FROM IT.
BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT SOME DESPERATE PATH
TO SELF‐DESTRUCTION.
(MUSIC BEGINNING)
[AKATSUKI, VOICEOVER] THEIR JOURNEY IS DONE.
WHAT DID THEY ACCOMPLISH?
WERE THEY ABLE TO SAVE ANYONE?
THE JUNIOR MEMBERS LEAVE WITH A DARK CLOUD HANGING OVER THEM.
WHILE THEY ARE STILL TROUBLED BY WHAT TRANSPIRED,
ROE2 GIVES THEM A LETTER ADDRESSED TO SHIROE.
MEANWHILE, A NEW THREAT BEARS DOWN ON THE CITY OF AKIHABARA.
[SHIROE] MY COMRADES ARE ALWAYS BESIDE ME.
