02x05 - Requiem

[bunniefuu]

Silver and gold will be stolen away

Stolen away, stolen away

Silver and gold will be stolen away

My fair lady

Suppose the man should fall asleep

Fall asleep, fall asleep

Suppose the man should fall asleep

My fair lady

REQUIEM

My fair... lady

You're pretty tough.

London bridge is broken down

Broken down

Die!

Dear GOD.

That is the name of this technique.

I dedicate it to you.

Your blood...

I thought you were
just holding your wound.

But you drenched your gloves in blood

and transformed your own blood
into Divine Treasures.

Yes.

You've been very impressive
to the very end.

Huh?

What is the color of my heart now?

Has it changed?

No. I have lost.

I will never change.

Don't forget it.

At all times, I...

love... humans!

O God...

What a truly stubborn person you are.

Alcides...

That was a fantastic fight.

I'm sorry that I shouted at you.

Were you watching, Brünnhilde?

I leave the rest in your hands.

Please save this foolish...

yet dear human race.

WINNER: JACK THE RIPPER

I wonder what color...

my emotions are right now.

I-In the fourth bout

of the final battle between gods
and mankind, Ragnarok,

the victor is Jack the Ripper!

Ah. Young lady.

How are you feeling?

What about yourself?

How's it feel to k*ll a god?

I'm not sure.

I've never felt this emotion before.

I see.

You can't even show sadness
at such a sad time, can you?

You really are a pitiable person.

I am?

Eek! Hey!

You got blood all over me!

Darn you! Now I've gotta
take a shower 'cause of you!

You'd better get to
the infirmary right away!

Understand, little boy?

Yes, ma'am.

If that's what you want,

then I'll bring my full power
against your resolve!

I will save you from your suffering!

If I could have one wish granted,

I would wish to see you again.

Get lost, m*rder*r!

I wish you'd died!

Give him back!

Give us back our Hercules!

Why...

Why did Alcides
have to be k*lled by that jerk?

Dammit!

Swear that you'll never again
cause harm to mankind.

Damn it all!

So, the unfathomable evil
of Jack the Ripper

swallowed up even a god.

He's no human. He truly is a monster.

No.

Mr. Shakespeare?

We mustn't avert our eyes from the truth.

What appears beautiful is filth.

What appears filthy is beautiful.

That too is what humans are.

Hercules!

Hercules is dead!

Are you happy now?

Are you happy now that
you had that stinking m*rder*r

k*ll Hercules?

The meaning of the name "Valkyrie" is
"the chooser of the slain."

It is meaningless
for us to feel emotion for them.

In order to save mankind,

we simply must do

what must be done.

Hercules, I'm sure you will forgive me

for enshrining you alongside these humans.

Hercules,

please be patient a little longer.

When this is all over...

I will... join you there.

Mankind won... Two in a row, even.

The malice of Jack the Ripper...

It looked as if he was in a bind,
but it was part of his strategy.

He calculated his fall
so he would barely avoid a fatal wound

and had the fence pierce him in his side.

Since he went to such lengths to get it,

he got Hercules to believe that

his hidden fencepost rapier
was his ultimate weapon.

But his true objective

was to obtain enough blood
to soak his gloves with it.

His ultimate weapon was his own lifeblood.

The iron fencepost that pierced his side

was the greatest bluff in this bout.

He completely fooled
not just Hercules, but all of us too.

However,

that's easier said than done.

If it were me,
I'd never take such a dangerous gamble.

"You'll never defeat Hercules
unless you put your life on the line."

That must be what he realized.

That guy really is quite something.

No! You're wrong!

The one we should praise...

is Hercules, since he never gave up!

Until the absolute end,
he never wavered and held on to hope!

So...

So...

to honor my great friend,
I will continue to hope!

Well, well. Dear me...

So, now it's tied up at two, eh?

Under absolutely no circumstances

can we allow them to take the lead.

Then again,
they want to win as much as we do.

So, what's your next move?

MANKIND'S CHAMPIONS WAITING ROOM
ARENA CORRIDOR

Amazing! That was quite a bout
between two real masters.

There are still lots of
strong fighters out there.

Agreed!

Lü Bu, Adam, Kojiro Sasaki,

and Jack the Ripper.

READY TO FIGHT

Gathered here are true warriors
from every era all over the world.

Being selected to participate
in this final battle

between god and man, Ragnarok,

is a great honor.

Don't you agree, Soji?

I understand that,

Kondo.

ISAMI KONDO
COMMANDER OF THE SHINSENGUMI

I sure hope my turn comes soon.

I wonder when my turn will be.

SOJI OKITA

Ares...

hasn't returned from the restroom yet.

He probably still hasn't stopped crying.

I see. Then,

I guess I'll take a little walk.

I think I'll take a little nap too.

They're all...

a bunch of liars.

Hey, I've been expecting you,

Buddha.

You wanna...

fight?

No, no!

I just had one little question for you.

Just like you, this was my first time
to see the Valkyries' Völundr.

And I must have gotten overexcited.

Yes, that must be it. It must be.

So, you see, I completely forgot,

but something has been bothering me
since the first bout.

I mean, you see,

they can defend against
the might of the gods,

and put the gods on the ropes,

and even

slay the gods.

Have the Valkyries' Völundr

always been that powerful?

No matter how you look at it,

there's no way the gods would ever allow
those demigod Valkyries a cheat like that.

That's when I remembered

there was one method
that could make it possible.

What's it called again, Buddha?

You know, there's something like that

in your spiritual realm, right?

By entrusting your lives to one another
and sharing the same fate,

you can call forth
your full physical and spiritual power.

I'm pretty sure that power is called...
Ah yes...

Samavadhana.

In other words,

that Völundr isn't simply
a forging of Divine Treasures.

By placing their lives on the line,

the Valkyries obtained
the power to resist the gods.

It seems to me,
that's the only way it can be done.

Oh, sorry that took so long!

So, what do you think, Buddha?

You know,

that wasn't even close
to just one little question.

In fact, it took so long,
I didn't hear half of it.

Give it to me in a sentence. Ya dig?

Oh, right! Sorry!

Then I'll get right to the point.

Are you a traitor?

And what if I am?

I'll k*ll you.

Judgment.

Judgment.

Judgment.

Traitors deserve...

Judgment.

Judgment.

Judgment, I say!

Judgment, dammit!

Judgment, man!

Yes, judgment.

Judgment.

We are the arbiters of justice in heaven.

We are the seven pillars of heaven.

The executioners of heaven,
the Seven Gods of Fortune!

SEVEN GODS OF FORTUNE

Uh oh. We've got some freaks on our hands.

Yo, Buddha!

Been a while!

I've been waitin' for this!

The day we get to pass
heavenly judgment on you!

Sheesh... Ya know,

I never seem to be able
to suck a lollipop all the way down.

I always end up biting it.

So, what's your name again?

Why, you son of a b*tch!

The hell was that for?

You g*dd*mn punk!

Say your sutras!

SAY YOUR SUTRAS!

Whoa! Stop!

Loki, get in the way
and we'll take you out too!

You've got it all wrong!

You see, he's my prey.

So don't you dare
try to steal him from me.

Got it?

Just kidding!

Wait, did you think I was protecting you?

Don't matter to me.

If we're gonna fight, then hurry it up...

and bring it on!

You know,
the heavens are a pretty rowdy place.

Ganging up on one guy
so you can string him up, huh?

Sheesh! Gods and humans
aren't any different at all.

But, you know,

I doubt Poseidon would do
this kind of thing.

What're you here for?

Your turn is over, pal.

You know, I don't really approve of

ganging up on others.

That's the dude who whacked Poseidon,

Kojiro Sasaki!

I'll lend you a hand.

KOJIRO SASAKI
NITEN GANRYU

Lend him a hand?

Are you too blind to see
yer totally outnumbered by gods?

- Wow! What a surprise!
- Huh?

I sensed a lot of bellicosity here,
so I dropped in to look.

What? Another one?
Who the hell is it this time?

Why, look at all these gods!

Who're you, you pipsqueak human?

Scram unless you wanna die!

If you're all gonna have some fun,

then let me join you.

SOJI OKITA
TENNEN RISHIN SCHOOL

Shall we do this?
