Spirit Tortoise Kingdom Officer: I will take command of the sappers.
Mirelia: Good luck to all of you.
Title: Episode Shaking Land
Naofumi: You're one of the queen's aides, right?
Naofumi: What do you want?
Aide: I've been told to serve as your messenger, I daresay.
Naofumi: You...
Naofumi: You're one of Melty's shadows, aren't you?
Naofumi: Shouldn't you be with her?
Aide: She's asked me to help you.
Naofumi: I see.
Eclair: Iwatani-dono!
Eclair: We'll do this as planned, then.
Naofumi: Yeah.
Naofumi: We need your skills as an instructor.
Naofumi: Don't stand at the front of any charges and get k*lled.
Eclair: That's my line.
Eclair: See you on the b*ttlefield, then.
Naofumi: Raphtalia, help me.
Raphtalia: Okay!
Filo: Let's hurry up!
Eclair: Battalion!
Soldiers: Company! Company!
Soldiers: Draw swords!
Soldiers: Draw swords!
Soldiers: Ready!
Eclair: Forward!
Soldiers: That's...!
Soldiers: Look! That flag!
Soldiers: The Hero! The Shield Hero!
Soldiers: Shield Hero!
Soldiers: We're counting on you!
Eclair: Amazing.
Eclair: He's raised the morale of the troops just by doing that.
Ost: I see!
Raphtalia: That's why he wanted the flag.
Naofumi: That's part of it.
Naofumi: But later, it's going to serve as a warning: "Don't get close to the flag."
Naofumi: I'm about to summon it, after all.
Ost: Rishia-san!
Rishia: Right!
Naofumi: Okay, let's get to it!
Sign: The Rising of the Shield Hero
Naofumi: Filo!
Filo: Right!
Naofumi: Hate reaction!
Raphtalia: It worked!
Naofumi: For now.
Naofumi: Floor it, Filo!
Naofumi: Don't let them catch us!
Filo: On it!
Eclair: We're counting on you, Iwatani-dono!
Eclair: Stay in formation!
Eclair: We're going to lure the Spirit Tortoise away!
Soldier: Get the weapons ready!
Soldier: It's here!
Eclair: Tactical column!
Soldiers: Tactical column!
Soldiers: Tactical column!
Soldiers: Prepare to fire!
Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama!
Naofumi: Well, we've got it where we want it.
Rishia: W-We can't keep this up any longer!
Naofumi: sh*t! Filo, stop!
Naofumi: We'll take down the familiars now!
Filo/Raphtalia: Okay!
Rishia: Against a-a-a-all of them?
Elrasla: They might take all of us down!
Elrasla: Rishia, my student, show me what you can do!
Rishia: O-Okay!
Ost: I, Ost Hourai, give my orders to the heavens and the earth.
Ost: Sever the laws of reality,
Ost: bind them together, and make them spit out the pus within.
Ost: By my power, may the gravity of those before me be amplified!
Ost: Ultra-Gravity Enhancement: Sinking Temple!
Naofumi: Is she... controlling gravity?
Rishia: I've never heard an incantation like that before...
Ost: Only a few monsters can use it.
Ost: Now! Hurry!
Naofumi: Raphtalia! Filo! Rishia! Old woman!
All: Right!
Soldiers: Fire!
Soldiers: Fire!
Raphtalia: Ying-Yang Blade!
Elrasla: Hengen Muso Secret Technique: Crescent Moon!
Filo: Drifa Tornado!
Rishia: Everyone... you're all amazing.
Naofumi: But it doesn't mean a thing if they just keep coming!
Aide: Reporting, I daresay.
Aide: The Spirit Tortoise's advancehas not stopped.
Aide: The siege w*apon att*ck was ineffectual.
Aide: The siege w*apon teams have not retreated, however, and are continuing the as*ault!
Soldier: Concentrate att*cks on its right foreleg!
Soldier: We'll knock out one of them, at least!
Soldier: The right leg!
Soldier: Concentrate on its right leg!
Soldier: Fire!
Ost: The siege units have sustained over percent casualties, I daresay.
Naofumi: What about the sappers in the fort?
Aide: Preparations are complete.
Aide: The bombing teams have withdrawn.
Aide: The Spirit Tortoise Kingdom's commander remained alone.
Naofumi: What?
SpiritTortoise: Don't be in such a hurry, Spirit Tortoise.
SpiritTortoise: I'm about to send you back to bed.
Aide: Another shadow sent up a signal.
Aide: The sappers' bombs have stopped the Spirit Tortoise's advance.
Aide: They say the commander met his end in the collapse, I daresay.
Naofumi: I see.
Naofumi: Now all that's left is to cut off its head.
Elrasla: That's beyond even me.
Elrasla: If only my two students had completely mastered Hengen Muso style,
Elrasla: then perhaps...
Ost: What's wrong?
Rishia: Um...
Rishia: The queen found this record for me just before the battle began.
Rishia: And it says...
Rishia: Th-This! This is it!
Ost: This is...
Rishia: Ost-san! What's wrong?
Naofumi: We should get close and...
Rishia: Naofumi-san!
Rishia: Even when the Spirit Tortoise stops moving, it's still dangerous!
Naofumi: What?
Ost: Getting close to it may have awakened some information in my mind.
Ost: When the Spirit Tortoise can no longer take souls directly...
Naofumi: What?
Ost: It begins a long-range as*ault.
Soldier: Look.
Naofumi: Don't tell me...
Ost: It's too dangerous!
Ost: Have them all fall back!
Naofumi: Get moving! Now!
Naofumi: This is insane!
Naofumi: Is it that hungry?
Ost: It's taking far more souls than it needs.
Ost: Whoever's controlling it is probably...
Naofumi: Meteor Shield!
Ost: Th-Thank you!
Naofumi: It's going to slaughter us!
Naofumi: I guess I don't have a choice.
Naofumi: Everyone, get in the carriage!
All: Okay!
Naofumi: And... Shadow!
Aide: I'm right here.
Naofumi: Give this message to the queen and the others at main HQ immediately.
Eclair: What do we do?
Eclair: Iwatani-dono? What are you...
Eclair: We will now charge the Spirit Tortoise!
Soldier: Eclair-sama, that's su1c1de!
Eclair: Look.
Eclair: Those thorns aren't landing anywhere close to it.
Eclair: It's probably trying to avoid hurting itself.
Soldier: But the soldiers will take casualties.
Eclair: This whole area is inside its f*ring range.
Eclair: If we fall back now, when our formation has collapsed, we'll be wiped out.
Eclair: Follow the Shield Hero!
Eclair: Ready... charge!
Soldiers: Charge!
Soldier: The Spirit Tortoise was stopped,
Soldier: but it launched some kind of thorns from its shell at our troops!
Soldier: We've taken massive damage!
Soldier: Reporting!
Soldier: The remaining troops are charging the Tortoise at the Shield Hero's orders!
Haikazuya Commander: Madness! What is he thinking?
Mirelia: Knowing Iwatani-sama, he must have a plan.
Soldier: The Shield Hero has a message for HQ.
Soldier: "I'm moving the plan to stage two." That's all.
Mirelia: I guess it's our only choice.
Mirelia: Mideus's mage units are to prepare the high-class multi-caster ritual magic.
Mirelia: Initiate the incantation immediately!
Soldier: Don't clump up!
Soldier: If we do, we'll all be wiped out at once!
Soldier: Don't... Don't die on me!
Raphtalia: Multi-caster ritual magic?
Raphtalia: Don't tell me...
Naofumi: Yeah.
Naofumi: Our last option.
Naofumi: Casting it is hard on the mages, so we can only use it once,
Naofumi: but we can use the spell like a mine to blast off its foot.
Ost: Even if the spell doesn't k*ll it,
Ost: there will be a hole we can knock it into to stop it from moving further.
Naofumi: Yeah. As big as it is, it might not even fit all the way in the hole.
Naofumi: But we'll follow up immediately by taking its head.
Ost: That's the best option.
Naofumi: Are you sure about this?
Naofumi: If the Spirit Tortoise goes, you'll also...
Ost: I don't mind.
Ost: That's why I asked you for help.
Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama, something's coming!
Filo: What is that thing?
Naofumi: A parasite?
Naofumi: It's a bunch of familiars stuck together?
Naofumi: Damn it! We're so close!
Ost: Its familiars are weak enough that I can stop them.
Naofumi: You...
Naofumi: What are you doing?
Soldier: We'll handle this!
Soldier: You att*ck the Tortoise!
Naofumi: Sorry! Thanks!
Soldier: Of course!
Soldier: You're...
Raphtalia: Hurry, Filo!
Filo: Roger!
Soldier: Here and now we unlock the truths,
Soldier: and bring down the lightning of God's judgment!
Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama, isn't that...
Naofumi: Yeah. Judgment.
Rishia: The one the p-pope used?
Rishia: You're using something so powerful and dangerous?
Elrasla: Saint, you must not let this chance go to waste!
Naofumi: Yeah! I know!
Naofumi: Raphtalia! Filo!
top,Filo: Spiral Strike!
Filo: Eight Trigrams Blade of Destiny!
Elrasla: Raphtalia did it!
Raphtalia: And now you're going to try and run?
Ost: I, Ost Hourai, give my orders to the heavens and the earth.
Ost: By my power, may strength be granted to the holy shield before me!
Naofumi: Go! Raphtalia! Filo!
Both: Right!
Rishia: I-I'll help, too!
Raphtalia: We did it!
Naofumi: Yeah...
Raphtalia: But if we defeated the Spirit Tortoise, that means that Ost-san is...
Naofumi: Yeah.
Elrasla: She did her duty as a familiar...
Filo: Ost-oneechan, Rishia-oneechan is crying.
Rishia: Thank you...
Naofumi: Ost... you...
Naofumi: If you're still here, that means...
Ost: Huh?
Ost: Oh, right... That's right.
Ost: Looks like you haven't defeated the Spirit Tortoise yet.
