01x07 - Standard Opening of Gate Number One Confirmed

[bunniefuu]

[gentle music]

[Theodisia]

My name is Theodisia.

My younger sister is missing

and I'm searching for her.

So I came to compete

because I heard my

people were trapped here.

So you basically

want our help

so you can find

your sister, right?

I do.

Although your helping

me like this

looks hostile towards the

Swordmaster.

I'm not worried about that.

I'm already messing up the

tower like I'm not on his side.

But relying on my ability

won't help you at all.

The best we can do is search

with you.

I'd be grateful for even

just a little bit of help.

Do you have any clues as

to what to look for yet?

[Theodisia]

I think underground may be one.

I can feel them. It's my people.

[Frederica] God, jeez!

We barely made it to this point

because you kept

- taking your sweet time!

- I'm so sorry!

Now now, calm down.

[Tomochika] Mr. Rick!

[Rick gasps]

Oh, Miss Dannoura,

I'm pleased to

see you're safe.

[Tomochika] And you made

it out too, Mr. Lynel.

Yes, somehow I did.

[opening theme]

[gentle music]

[Tomochika] This room,

it's the same hall

we arrived in.

[Swordmaster] Time's up.

As you see,

17 of you have passed.

I now proclaim all of you as

Knights of the Divine King.

- [doll 1] Swordmaster

- Hm?

We have an emergency.

[Swordmaster] What's happening?

The tower has fallen silent.

It's hard maintaining the first

barrier.

The second barrier is now

unstable.

Estimated time for spawn

of the Dark God

to bridge the barrier is-

[Earth rumbling]

[Tomochika]

What the?! [shudders]

[Yogiri groans]

[doll 1] The first

barrier has dissipated.

The second barrier is barely

staying up.

[Swordmaster groans]

[dramatic music]

I thought if I had blown away

the tower,

the barrier would disappear as

well.

[Lynel shudders]

What is this

overwhelming dark miasma?

I heard this would

happen three days from now.

Oh, well.

Everyone, this is your first

task for the Divine King.

You must defeat that thing,

or humanity is done for.

All right, let's go underground

and search while we can.

You're not gonna deal with that

thing?!

[Yogiri] If I beat that guy,

it might catch the attention

of the Swordmaster.

So it's more convenient

to let the others do it.

[Theodisia] I agree.

We should get outta here like

they are!

It's too late to escape

opponents like those.

Exactly, we can't win

with cowards around.

[Lynel shudders]

How do I get rid of the barrier?

If you tell me, I promise not to

k*ll you.

Well, that is very kind of you

to offer,

especially after trying

to destroy my tower.

[power crackles]

[adventurer gasps]

I'll k*ll you one by one.

When you feel like telling me,

speak up.

[power zapping]

[Rick gasps]

You don't know who you're

dealing with!

[shouts angrily]

Hmph.

[zapping]

[bodies clattering]

We'd waste you without that

barrier!

[Lynel gasps] That's way too

big!

[Frederica] Take this! Full

power!

Super-Duper Compressed

Mega Extreme Light Burst!

[power crackling]

What?!

[Lute] That was quite

formidable for a human.

[Frederica gasps]

Maybe if it had hit, I might

have been burned or something.

One more unique entity

has appeared, Master.

This is not good.

Make sure you call

us by our names.

I'm known as Lute,

and this here is Orgain.

Glad to meet ya!

- Why, you little!

- Whoa.

[light zaps]

[Frederica gasps]

Sorry, lady,

but you aren't

at the right level

to face us.

What was that? [gasps]

I turned it into

a snack for you.

What the hell is that?

You're a girl, aren't you?

So you like sweets, right?

[chomps]

[Lynel, Frederica gasps]

[Rick shouts aggressively]

[sword clanks]

Oh, this guy stands more

of a chance than you do.

Miss Frederica, are you

- gonna be all right?

- Take care of her, Mr. Lynel.

You got it!

[Rick grunts]

[sword clanks]

[Rick shouts]

[shudders]

At a time like this?

No, now is the perfect

time to try my luck.

All Apology Stones! Bring 'em

home!

[magic rings]

[victorious music]

This extra performance, I've got

a bad feeling about this.

[victorious music]

Sorry for the wait!

[ominous tone]

The look on your face

right now screams,

"How is it already over?"

Please tell me you just

popped in to see how I'm doing.

No way, silly, I'm serious this

time.

What? But then that means

you'll-

Is that the spawn of the the

Dark God?

Those are the smallest

of the small fries.

Whoa, in that case-

Well, wait and see.

I'm gonna have this all taken

care of

in just a little moment.

[Orgain grunts]

[Lute gasps]

What's this?

I was actually able to

successfully summon

the Goddess!

[Lute gasps]

[Lynel shudders]

Mistress Vahanato,

I'm surprised to see you

would come all the way here.

- Master Vahanato!

- Oh, my!

- Lute, dear, it's been so long.

- It really has.

[sighs] What, um, is this?

Well, I'm afraid to be perfectly

honest with you right now,

meeting me was the unluckiest

thing that has ever happened to

you.

So then, by "all taken care of,"

you must mean-

If humanity is

completely wiped out,

then essentially,

I "took care of things," right?

[Lynel shudders]

[dramatic music]

[footsteps patter]

[Tomochika sighs] Something's up

with these stairs.

It feels like we're just

going around in a circle.

Oh, if that's the deal,

there may be a barrier

tampering with empty space.

Maybe because there's an

important facility up ahead.

[Theodisia gasps]

I sense my people's magic

close by.

So hey, can you do

something to the barrier,

like that time when you

helped Mrs. Mokomoko?

I don't think I should

use that one here.

Miss Theodisia's people

may be the ones who

actually made this barrier.

[w*r cry]

[magic blasts]

What's that?

Oh my, is the barrier gone now?

They did it for us.

I think we can go down now.

[magic zaps]

[Tomochika gasps]

What's wrong?

It's like a monster that

looks like a sharp blade

instantly passed through

my whole body.

Huh?

I'm sensing something over here.

[door clatters]

Is anyone there? Answer me.

[gasp]

[dramatic music]

[Theodisia snarls]

Miss Dannoura, wait over there.

Huh?

It's better this way.

Well, if you say so.

[dramatic music continues]

Do you know if your

people are here?

[Theodisia] Yes, it's them.

Seeing my people in this

condition

But my total relief at the

fact that my sister isn't here

seems so shallow.

[Yogiri] They were

turned into these

in order to extract

their magic abilities.

Then I'll ease

their suffering.

[dramatic music]

[glass shattering]

I'm sorry, I heard

what was said.

[Yogiri sighs]

So, um, what are

we gonna do now?

First, we should go

back up there.

What comes next depends.

[dramatic music continues]

[Yogiri] And you, Miss

Theodisia?

I was taught that

grudges must be avenged.

The Swordmaster will die by my

hand.

All right.

[light playful music]

[upbeat rock music]

[Vahanato] Damn that woman, is

she

[Swordmaster] The situation

looks grim.

I'll start with you, you are

now officially Swordmaster.

Wait, what did you just say?

You're the best choice

that I can rely on right now.

If I die, you will automatically

become the Swordmaster.

Although I have no

intention of dying.

What do you want me to do?

[Swordmaster] If you utilize the

power stored in the tower,

you should be able

to put up a fight.

I'm very sorry, sir, this is my

fault.

I never expected anything

from you from the start.

[Lynel shudders]

But, if I die at all, I'll just

go back to the save point.

Please, Goddess,

can I ask you something?

Yes?

Well, why are you chatting

away with the enemy like that?

Oh dear, goodness me.

Should I really tell you?

Please, I can't help but be

curious.

I bet you can't help it.

Well, since we've had our pretty

nice and easy relationship,

I would feel absolutely terrible

if you died

- without knowing why. -I really

appreciate that of you.

[Rick] Sir Lynel

He's buying us some time.

Many years ago, my sweet little

darling

just suddenly went off

somewhere without a word

and never came back.

Your darling?

You see him, don't you?

Inside the barrier?

My missing sweetie-kins,

Albagarma.

What?

That name, it can't be.

Loathed and most feared,

the name of the dark god

that no one dares to speak.

[Vahanato] So, when I sent

all sorts of messengers

to search around the world,

I learned that he was sealed

away here.

And that's not even the

worst part of this indignity!

No matter what I send,

I can't beat the Swordmaster!

So I thought, if I could

send someone like you

who has the worst of luck,

maybe my darling would come back

and destroy humanity, you know?

[Lynel gags]

I knew that my luck

was awful, but this is,

it's so bad that it'll wipe out

humanity as collateral damage.

Look, Master, it seems like

the barrier's about gone.

Should we wait this out then?

I'll check, just to be 100%

sure.

Hm.

[magic ringing]

[Vahanato laughs]

Until a second ago, the creator

of the barrier was here,

but looks like he's dead and

gone now.

If he was still alive,

they could probably fix

the barrier right away.

[Lynel] Uh

Oh, it looks like that awful

goddess k*ller is dead too.

I would've been so royally

screwed

if that trash of a human had

showed up.

Oh wow, people can call you a

walking apocalypse! [laughs]

If it's me,

I'll die to stop this!

Fine by me, but you're

actually gonna die.

You see, I got rid of the

whole random walk ability.

Tell me you're lying.

Since you'll die anyway,

wanna watch my sweet darling

come back to life first?

Right, now this is

the barrier core.

[core thrumming]

If I take it and crush it,

the annoying barrier

will be dead and gone.

It seems we have run

out of viable options.

Whoa!

Something tells me things have

gotten worse since we left.

Okay, everyone, now's

the time to break apart

this longstanding, wretched

seal!

It's time to bring my

darling back to life!

[barrier cracking]

[dramatic music]

[Vahanato laughs]

Oh, Darling!

Oh, how I've missed you!

[magic zapping]

[wind whistles]

[water splooshes]

Huh?

[water burbling]

The Dark God

was dead this whole time?

So hey, when we

were on the roof

and you said you

k*lled him on reflex,

it really freaked me out at the

time.

I'm sorry about that.

[Theodisia grunts]

[sword slices]

[Rick gasps]

Swordmaster!

Miss Theodisia!

I knew this would be the

only chance to k*ll him.

How could you even be

thinking about that right now?

[gasps] My darling

[Aggressor slashes]

Is that the blade monster

you were talking

about under ground?

I think so, but so many

things are happening at once,

I can't tell what's what.

[magic humming]

[Vahanato] I'm not the one?

[flesh squelches]

[body thumps]

[Aggressor whirs]

Master, hold on, I can heal

this wound for you right away.

[Vahanato whimpers]

[Vahanato gasps]

[Vahanato laughs]

What's wrong, Master?

No, Master! Master Albagarma!

Please, just wake up!

[gasps] Master is a god

who craves living sacrifices.

In that case, let us

dedicate every human to him!

- [demon 1] Yes!

- [demon 2]

Sacrifices!

Sacrifice the humans!

[Lynel shudders]

[Rick] It's already come this

far, huh?

Get behind me!

The Divine King!

Go and k*ll them all!

They will be sacrifices

to our God!

Everyone, stay near.

They're getting close!

There are so many.

This is bad.

Miss Dannoura, Miss Theodisia,

please come a bit closer to me.

Good?

Die.

Huh?

[dramatic music]

[bodies clatter]

[Lynel] Huh?

[Rick] What in the

world is happening?

Hey, do we need to be

so close to you?

It's easier to protect you

if you're closer like this.

Lord Takatou, is it all

right to leave that woman be?

[Vahanato laughs]

[Yogiri] She bears no hostility

towards me, so I have

no reason to k*ll her.

[Tomochika] I mean,

she's acting kind of funny.

Has this caused her to lose her

mind?

[Hanakawa] Send me home!

[sobbing]

I told you it's all fine.

We won't die from

whatever's going on.

Main characters have plot armor

in movie shootouts, right?

[Hanakawa howls]

[dramatic music]

[Aoi] Say, do you know

where Yogiri Takatou is?

Who are you?

I go by Aoi.

Are you an acquaintance of Mr.

Takatou?

This isn't really the ideal time

for that.

Yeah, you're right.

But honestly, resolving this

situation takes top priority.

[Aoi] Wait, are you aware

that you've already

become a Swordmaster?

Now that you mention it,

the Swordmaster did tell me

that.

[Aoi] If you stab her with

the Holy Sword Orz,

- that'll end it.

- What?

How did you know

this is a holy sword?

[Vahanato laughs in distance]

I won't last much longer here!

I've got this.

[shouts]

[sword stabs]

[weapons clanking]

I stopped it.

All right, now then,

where's Yogiri Takatou?

[Hanakawa sobs]

Help me look for him,

Little Piggy.

I have a terrible feeling

he will k*ll me on sight

if we ever meet up again.

[crying]

Huh?

That silhouette,

that's definitely Tomochika!

[group coughing]

[Aoi] You're gross.

Then the man she's with is

Yogiri Takatou.

Mm? Hey, could that be

I don't remember seeing

that face during the trial.

[Hanakawa cries]

Yogiri Takatou,

how powerful is my target?

[Aoi gasps]

[dramatic heartbeat]

[Aoi grunts]

[Aoi] Just, ugh, what is this?

[interface crackling]

Lady Aoi,

what's wrong with you?

[Aoi] The final destination

of all fates.

Beyond that, there is nothing.

All endings in

the shape of a man.

Sion, just who did

you summon here?

[Tomochika] Hanakawa,

what are you doing here?

It's not my fault!

I was brought here against

my will by Lady Aoi!

Uh, Lady Aoi?

[Aoi vomits]

Is she okay?

It seems to me like

she's pretty sick there.

It's okay, I'll be all

right after a little rest.

I'm sorry.

Calm down.

I came to deliver this guy to

you,

since he's an

old schoolmate of yours.

[Hanakawa shrieks]

Him? But I don't want him.

Okay that's fine.

Then I'll dispose of him now

so you won't have to see him.

I'm standing right here, you

know?

Stop treating me like

a worthless old book!

I'll be on my way now!

[Hanakawa shrieks] Lady Aoi!

[laughs] Though I'm not

normally into tomboys like her,

the sight of her groveling has

awakened a sick fetish within

me.

Gross!

I recall that you went into the

forest

with a neck collar that

made you obey my commands.

Crap! Um, well about that.

[playful music]

That was a lie, wasn't it?

It wasn't a lie exactly.

I just made no claim that the

effect would last forever.

Please, just believe me.

I thought that might

be what you did there.

[Yogiri] So we're the only ones

left in the end, huh?

Seems so. There are many things

I would like to ask you all,

but I'd like to start

with her over there.

Why did I k*ll him?

I have only avenged

the death of my people.

That has nothing to do with you

at all.

As it is, I am the Swordmaster

now.

I'd hardly say I'm irrelevant.

Will you then continue the

evil deeds of your forerunner?

We should all go take a

look at what's underground.

If you still want vengeance for

them,

I will help you get it, Miss

Theodisia.

But, Takatou, I do not mean

to be rude, but what can you do

- with your lack of-

- [Divine King] Stop,

that's enough of your insolence.

Your Highness.

You stand zero

chance against him.

He had the power to

vanquish the Dark God.

The extermination of the

spawn of the Dark God

is all due to what he has done.

Am I wrong?

I had no intention of

interfering

with this world of yours.

But it seems it just kind of

happened.

Not at all.

I am grateful to you.

This guy k*lled the Dark God

who had driven the world

to the brink of ruin?

So tell me this, just

what exactly are you?

I'm just your average high

school boy

who was summoned here by a Sage.

"Average high school boy"

is totally the opposite of you!

I understand.

So then what do you plan on

doing next? Where will you go?

We're heading to the royal

capital, just as planned.

I'm considering heading

home to the capital myself.

I think I'll take Miss Frederica

there too,

for some treatment.

I'll go along in order

to gather intel.

Hopefully there will be

something for me.

You were looking for

your younger sister, right?

My sister's name is Euphemia.

Like me, she's a half-demon.

Euphemia, huh?

I feel like I've come across

that name

somewhere before now.

Maybe we heard it somewhere

in the cities we passed

through on the way here.

[gasps] Please tell me the

route you took

- to get here!

- [Yogiri] Sure thing.

I will also return

to the royal capital.

Though I'm afraid 1,000 years

have passed,

so my bloodline may have died.

Tell us the way to the capital.

I have a better idea,

how about I take you?

No, she and I are traveling

together,

just the two of us, thanks.

[gasps] Yeah!

[ending theme]

[Rick] Okay, here's the map.

Also I want you to take this.

[Yogiri] A pendant?

[Rick] If you run into

trouble in the capital,

show one of these.

Thanks a lot. I'll keep that in

mind.

If you're ready,

let's get a move on.

Sure thing!

Later!

[engine rumbles]

Finally, we're off to the

capital!

[engine rumbles]

Please wait! Where are you

going?

Don't just leave me behind!

I don't know where I am!

[Hanakawa sighs]

They treated me like I wasn't

even there,

just like a dirty old sock.

- [Lute] Hey.

- Huh?

Explain to me

what happened here.

[Hanakawa] Uh!

[Youichi] Miss Aoi has gone

missing in the Garula Canyon.

So, what will you do

about Yogiri?

I just don't understand what he

is.

What's the big scary deal about

this guy?

Might I suggest

asking the other Sage

candidates about him?

I would prefer not to interfere

too much

with things other than the

mission.

But hey, what do you

think about this?

I'm going to summon people

that Yogiri Takatou knows

from his home in Japan!

[portal whooshes]

[grunts]

[gasps]

What the heck is this place?

Hello, nice to meet you.

I'm Sion the Sage.

I am the one who summoned you

here.

A sage? Summoned?

What on Earth are you talking

about?

I'd kindly like to ask you

about someone named Yogiri

Takatou.

[man grunts]

[cup shatters]

Hold on, are you saying that

he

If parallel worlds exist,

then is that where he gets his

power?

Huh?

[laughs]

There's a signal from his

tracker!

If you're the people who brought

that mass of destruction here,

then you're our saviors!

On behalf of all mankind,

please accept my deep

and sincere gratitude.

What are you on about?

[alarm wailing]

[phone] Alpha Omega,

standard opening of

gate number one confirmed.

[man] Wh-what is this? Hey, stop

that!

This isn't my fault!

Stop!

[alarm wailing]

No! You've gotta help me!

Please, I beg you!

I'm young, I don't wanna die!

Send me back to

my own world immediately!

[blood spurting

[dramatic music]

[Youichi] Who the hell was that?

[dramatic music]

Yogiri Takatou,

just exactly who

in the world are you?

[Tomochika] "The Agency"
