[ISSEI]
What's up?
I'm Issei Hyodo!
My dream is to become
the Harem King.
But you should know...
...most people
wouldn't refer to me
as a normal
high school sophomore.
That's cause I'm, like,
totally a devil!
Seriously! I'm not lying!
I sorta d*ed,
but then, a sexy devil
brought me back to life.
Her name is Rias Gremory,
and she's hot AF!
She made me the pawn in her
chessboard devil family thing,
and I've been hangin'
with her crew ever since.
Oh yeah, and the legendary
Red Dragon Emperor
dwells within me. NBD.
One day, we were just about
to get our sports festival on
and this creeper showed up
thinkin' he was
gonna marry Asia.
Diodora Astaroth, AKA
upper-class devil dickhead.
I mean, so what if he comes
from a good family
and has abs that won't quit.
That guy's a bag
of dirty douche water.
I was like, "Screw him!
I'm never gonna
let anyone force Asia
to do anything she
doesn't want to do!"
I got super pissed
and then I super kicked
that twatsicle's ass.
Asia was saved,
and all was awesome.
[ASIA]
Thank you, Issei.
[ISSEI]
It's time for us to go home.
[ASIA]
All right!
But first, I'd like
to say a little prayer.
[ISSEI] You just got rescued,
what's there to pray about?
[ASIA]
That's a secret!
[ALL gasping]
[ALL grunting]
Asia?
[RIAS]
Who are you?
[SHALBA] Dear little sister
of the despicable
and fake "Devil King."
Most know me as
Shalba Beelzebub.
However, who I am
is the one and only
true descendant of the
Great Devil Beelzebub.
Beelzebub's what?
[DIODORA]
Please, Shalba. Help me.
Just imagine it.
Both the old and current devil
kings combining their strength.
[gasps] Why, Shalba?
[DIODORA screams]
You were a fool. How dare
you align yourself with me.
Sister of the impostor,
Sir Zechs.
Please don't take
this personally,
but I believe I shall
have you die here, as well.
Of course. You were
behind the death
of the Glasya-Labolas
heir, too.
But why bother involving
Asia in your murderous plan?
You'll suffer for
what you did to her!
[ISSEI]
Asia.
Asia?
Where did you run off to?
Come on.
Let's go home.
Issei.
[ISSEI sobbing]
Please, Asia.
We were gonna win the race
in the school sports festival.
We...
We still need to practice.
[wailing]
[RIAS]
Issei!
[ISSEI]
Rias?
Do you know where
Asia might've gone?
We need to find her fast,
so we can leave.
Help me.
We can't leave without her.
She's practically family.
Oh, Issei.
Now, who would have thought
the princess of the
Gremory household
had such horrible taste.
Would the red filth like to
know where that girl went?
I sent her far beyond
our reality.
Into the Dimensional Gap.
The exposure has surely
consumed her flesh.
To put it simply,
the bitch is dead.
[ISSEI gasps]
[DDRAIG] As for you, devil, the
one who calls himself "Shalba."
[gasps]
[DDRAIG]
You made a poor decision,
and now you must pay!
[ALL gasping]
[RIAS]
Issei!
[RIAS shouts]
--[ISSEI] I, who shall awaken.
--[SPIRIT BOY] It's starting.
[SPIRIT GIRL]
The time has finally come.
[ISSEI]
I am the Heavenly Dragon
who stole the principle
of domination for God.
[SPIRIT WOMAN]
It has always been this way.
[SPIRIT MAN] That is correct.
Always and forever.
[ISSEI] I mock the infinite,
and fret over the dream.
[SPIRIT MAN]
What the world desires.
[SPIRIT WOMAN]
What the world rejects.
[ISSEI] I shall become the
Red Dragon of Domination.
[SPIRIT MAN]
Has always been power.
[SPIRIT WOMAN]
Has always been love.
[ISSEI and SPIRITS] I shall
drown you in the depths
of crimson purgatory.
What is that?
What is that?!
His aura and power
are incredible to behold!
And dangerous.
[roaring]
[ISSEI]
Asia!
[DDRAIG]
Juggernaut Drive!
[expl*si*n]
[ISSEI roars]
Oh, Issei.
[roaring continues]
[SHALBA gasps]
[screaming]
[SHALBA]
You monster!
[grunting]
[screams]
[ISSEI roars]
[DDRAIG echoing]
Divide!
[roars]
[SHALBA]
He's using Vali's power?
Why must Vali always insist
on standing in my way?
[ISSEI growling]
It's too much.
[growling continues]
[roaring]
President!
[KIBA] Rias, please.
That isn't Issei anymore.
[roaring continues]
[ISSEI snarling]
[SHALBA]
No! You bastard!
This creature must be
the Dragon of Domination!
I have no intention of dying
in a place like this.
Not by your hand!
I can't move. My legs!
Gasper, you can't stop
time right now, can you?
[ISSEI growls]
[DDRAIG echoing]
Boost!
We can't stay here, Rias!
If we do, we'll die.
Come on. I think
we should retreat!
I won't.
Please, Rias!
[KIBA]
I'm sorry. We're going!
[DDRAIG echoing continues]
Boost!
You can't! Don't you realize
I am the descendant
of a true devil king?
You're a mere dragon!
[DDRAIG]
Longinus Smasher!
Don't you dare!
Red Dragon and White Dragon,
damn you both!
[rumbling]
Where's Issei?
[ALL gasping]
[roaring]
Issei.
What's wrong?
He took out Shalba, but he's
not reverting back to himself.
[VALI]
Ah, the Juggernaut Drive.
[RIAS]
Vali!
Interesting find. I sensed
a change in Issei's power,
and came to see why.
Also...
[gasps]
Asia!
[BIKOU] This little healer
is one of yours, is she not?
We just happened
to cross paths with her
while we were moving
through the Dimensional Gap.
This is one very lucky girl.
Don't worry. She's alive.
Asia! Oh, Asia!
[XENOVIA crying]
[VALI]
Unfortunately,
it looks like your servant had
an incomplete transformation.
[RIAS]
Issei, no.
Do you know if there's
any way to change him back?
There's a chance.
It might happen naturally,
but if not, he'll use
up his life force,
and that will k*ll him.
[RIAS] What if we tell
him Asia's all right?
[VALI]
Pointless. He can't hear you.
If you merely approach
him, you'll die.
[RIAS gasps]
But, far be it from
me to stop you.
What about the power
of the White Dragon Emperor?
Please, Vali! Do you think
you're strong enough?
I'm begging you to do
whatever it takes to save Issei!
Help us! Anything, everything.
No matter the cost,
we will do it!
[ISSEI roaring in distance]
The only thing
I think might work
is to find a way to get
deep into his psyche
and then shake things up a bit.
Into his psyche, huh?
[KONEKO]
Shake things up.
[ALL gasping]
[RIAS gasps]
Bingo bongos.
[BIKOU] All you need to do
is show him some boobs.
[VALI sighs]
We can't show him anything
until he's out of that state.
[RIAS] Then how do we
get him out of it?
[VALI] It's been said
since ancient times
that music has been known
to calm the anger of a dragon.
I'm not aware what
the right songs are, though.
--[KIBA] Music?
--[XENOVIA] Music?
--[KONEKO] Music?
--[AKENO] Music?
Music?
Music!
[IRINA]
I know the right song!
[RIAS gasps]
Huh?
[KIBA]
No way!
[RIAS]
Irina Shido?
Why are you here?
[ISSEI roars]
Goodness gracious! This is
worse than I expected!
[AKENO] We know.
What are you doing here?
You know the bigwigs
like to keep up to date
on what's going on with you.
Well, things looked bad.
So Devil King Lucifer
and Azazel sent me.
I've brought you this:
the ultimate secret w*apon!
Check it out!
Can you believe
Lord Odin was able to
transport something that big?
The God of the North
is amazing!
Oh, and that beard!
Talk about a work of art!
Everybody, get ready!
[ISSEI snarls]
Here we go! Play!
[growling]
[ISSEI on video]
Did someone say boobies?
[RIAS]
Huh?
[ISSEI on video]
Breast Dragon Emperor!
[CHILDREN]
It's grabbin' time!
[CHILDREN cheering and laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
[ISSEI] ♪ Once a Grabbin' Dragon
roamed across the land. ♪
♪ Gropin' and grabbin'
anything at hand. ♪
♪ What was he
grabbin'? Boobies! ♪
♪ The Grabbin'
Dragon's struck again. ♪
♪ Grabbin' Dragon,
tail a-waggin', ♪
♪ gropes any cans,
A to triple G! ♪
♪ Ask him nice.
he'll do it again.... ♪
What is this nightmare?
[ISSEI]
♪ And once he's gone around ♪
♪ and pinched every
single nip he can ♪
♪ Then he walks backwards
to do it all again! ♪
[KIBA] Yeah, so Issei
was summoned
to the TV studio
not too long ago.
From what I understand,
he recorded this song
for a children's show.
Don't blame just him.
Guess who wrote
the music and lyrics.
They actually made
time to do this.
It's awful and I love it.
[ISSEI snorting]
[RIAS]
He's reacting!
[KONEKO]
Anyone else completely shocked?
[AKENO] Irina, please
don't stop playing the song.
[IRINA]
Yes, ma'am! I'm on it!
[ISSEI]
Boobies.
[VALI]
I, who shall awaken,
am the Heavenly Dragon
who has lost all
to the principle of domination.
I envy the infinite
and yearn for the dream.
I shall become the
White Dragon of Domination.
Albion.
[ALBION]
Vanishing Dragon.
Balance Breaker!
[music on video continues]
[ALBION echoing]
Divide!
[ISSEI roars]
[music continues]
Go to Issei, Rias.
He needs you now.
You and your massive bosom.
What I'm saying is you have
to let him grab your tits!
Hey!
When he did it before,
he achieved Balance Breaker.
Your boobs gave him strength.
They should have the
opposite effect too, right?
Letting him fondle you may
be the only way to save him!
You think?
[AKENO]
Your girls can do it, Rias.
I know they can!
[AKENO chuckles]
I get how you feel.
It's just not fair, but no
one else has what you have.
--[music continues]
--[ISSIE growls]
[BIKOU laughing]
This is stupid.
[KONEKO]
Sure is.
Yeah! All we can do is laugh.
Issei's... you know.
[ISSEI]
I want to poke them.
[exhales deeply]
For Issei!
[music continues]
[ISSEI]
Funbags.
[ISSEI]
Breasticles.
[ISSEI breathing heavily]
[RIAS] Fine, if this is what it
takes to bring my Issei back...
[RIAS gasps]
[ISSEI shudders]
[ISSEI breathing heavily]
[ISSEI]
Jubblies.
[laughing lecherously]
[RIAS groans]
Well, imagine that.
Issei Hyodo's limit switch
just happens to be
Rias Gremory's rack.
This is my favorite thing today!
[KIBA chuckles]
Oh, Issei. Go figure.
You really are
the Grabbin' Dragon.
Rias?
I'm here, Issei.
I'm right here.
[ISSEI gasps]
Asia.
Asia!
Asia!
I'm okay, Issei.
You sure you're all right?
--I'm so--
--[XENOVIA] Oh, Asia!
We're supposed to be
friends forever and ever.
That's the deal! So don't ever
leave me like that again!
--Promise?
--[ASIA] I won't.
At least, I'll try not to.
I think that I can
promise you that much.
Hey, man, I'm sorry if
I caused you any trouble.
Nah. I don't mind it
every so often.
It was worth it.
[ALL gasp]
[VALI]
Issei Hyodo, take a look.
This is what I came
out here to see.
What is it?
[VALI]
The Apocalypse Dragon.
Written in the Revelation.
Great Red.
He is considered the true
Red Dragon God Emperor.
One day, I'll be the true
White Dragon God Emperor.
But to do that, I must
take out the Dragon of Dragon.
So that's it.
That's your dream.
[ORPHIS]
Great Red.
--It's been a while.
--[ISSEI gasps]
That's just tape!
Meet Orphis, Ouroboros Dragon.
Also known as the
Leader of the Chaos Brigade.
[ISSEI]
That's--seriously?
Oh, yes, Red.
Soon, I'll finally
obtain my silence.
[AZAZEL]
Hey, Issei!
You seem to be back to normal.
[ISSEI]
Azazel, old man!
[AZAZEL] I knew that song
would bring you back to us.
It sure doesn't take
a lot to figure you out.
You're welcome for those
amazing lyrics, by the way.
[ISSEI] Eh, seemed kinda
repetitive to me.
[GROUP laughing]
[AZAZEL]
Blame Sir Zechs, then.
It was all his idea anyway.
[VALI]
Tell me something, Issei.
Do you want to defeat me?
[ISSEI]
Hmm?
[ISSEI]
I mean, yeah!
But it's not like you're
the only one I wanna b*at.
There's still Kiba,
and Saji, too.
There's, like, a ton of you!
[VALI]
Hmph!
I feel the same. I also
find it rather strange
that both of us would have
so many goals and dreams
that take such priority over
our eventual fated battle.
We must be unusual vessels
for the dragons
this time around.
You're probably right!
That said. Someday...
Yeah! Someday,
your ass is grass.
C'mon, I can't
allow you to divide
Rias and Akeno's precious
pairs in half, can I?
Get strong, Issei.
Don't you dare
let me down. [chuckles]
We're off.
Bye, Grabbin' Dragon!
You too, Switch Princess!
Huh?
I'm sorry.
I swore that I would
protect you, no matter what.
[ASIA laughs softly]
Asia.
Let's go back for real.
You wanna go home, right?
I do!
[ISSEI groaning]
[ALL gasping, clamoring]
Shalba has now fallen,
and Vali will hardly
make it to the top.
What are your thoughts?
Should the Hero Faction
make a move soon?
[CAO CAO]
No.
[SIEGFRIED]
You do realize
we will have to make
a move at some point.
The all-powerful
Sacred Gear within you
will not be patient
much longer.
[CAO CAO]
The True Longingus.
Will this spear lead
me to domination...
...or something else?
--[fireworks booming]
--[CROWD cheering]
[ANNOUNCER] Our next event
is the three-legged race.
All competitors
to the start line!
All runners, gather up!
[ISSEI shouting]
Asia!
Issei, you came!
I'm so happy!
[ISSEI]
I may not be back to % yet,
but I'm still gonna keep
the promises I made!
[ASIA crying]
[ISSEI] What'd I say?
Why are you crying?
[ASIA] It's okay!
I'm just glad you're here!
[ATTENDANT]
Next in line, please be ready.
[ISSEI] All right!
Ready to win first place?
[ASIA]
Yeah!
[starting g*n fires]
[ISSEI] Asia, I want you
to stay with me forever!
Please don't leave me again.
[ASIA]
I won't!
[CROWD]
Go Issei and Asia!
You can do it!
[indistinct cheering]
[ISSEI]
We did it, Asia!
We got first place!
[ISSEI]
I can't believe it!
-That was amazing!
-Yep!
We really did it, Issei.
--[ISSEI moans]
--[ASIA gasps]
Asia, I want you
to go heal him
with your Sacred Gear, please.
You won't be seen behind
the gym, so take him there.
Okay!
Come this way, and you can
lean on me if you want to.
I'm sorry.
Go on. You can do this.
That was awesome, thanks!
I feel like normal again.
I'll probably be able to win
the rest of the events now.
[ASIA] Issei, I've wanted
to tell you something,
but you've been
sleeping constantly.
[ISSEI moaning]
Uh, whoa. That's nice.
I wanted to say
I love you, Issei.
And I--I'll stay
by you forever.
[gasps]
[ASIA]
Are you okay?!
[ISSEI chuckles]
[ASIA]
It's true, though.
I'll never stop
loving you, Issei.
[ISSEI] "That's right!
Let's go to Kyoto!"
