01x24 - To You, From Me

[bunniefuu]

[Anno] Everything from here on
will be a story

I won't see coming, but...

Finally, it's payback
against Autumn.

I have no doubt the two
of you can do it now!

[♪ tense music playing]

♪

[metal clangs]

[blows land]

Hey, is it bigger than before?

[Andy]
It must be changing phases.

I figure while we were in
the book,

it was busy keeping
a steady diet of people.

We gotta stop it.

Yeah.

But how do we do that?

Doesn't this mean it's
even stronger than earlier?

Before, your attacks did nothing
if it went defensive.

That's in the past.

But now I've got this!

Repair Boost: Bloody Enchant!

Deep-Crimson Crescent Moon!

[snarls]

It worked!
You did it!

- You really do have this!
- Hmm?

[hissing]

- It's repairing?
- [grunts]

I see.
[slurps]

In that case,
it's my time to shine.

- [grunts]
- [laughs]

[groans] What the...

I can't even lay
a scratch on it?

- [Latla] Rip!
- [gasps]

What are you
standing around for?

[all gasping]

Hello? Why aren't your attacks
having any affect on it?

Well, what do you expect?

I'm just a kid, you know?

Now, then...

Andy and Fuko
are now powered up.

They reconciled with Victor.

And successfully thwarted
Unseen's assassination attempt.

And just one more thing.

Hey, listen up!

I'm going to draw something...
the strongest Artifact I know!

We can use that
to capture Autumn!

Can all of you buy me
some time until I'm finished?

- [grunts]
- Huh?

If this succeeds,

I guarantee that you'll be able
to catch Autumn!

Huh, it sounds fishy.

Aw, sick!

Then it's all up to you, Anno!

Mm! Just leave it to me!

Latla, was that
a lie just now?

Oh, yes, a downright lie,
to be sure.

Big sissy's fortune telling's
never right,

- so it's gotta be true, agoo!
- You shut it, Bunny!

All right, then we'll take
the profit after letting

them duke it out.

Oh, wow.
That's pathetic.

Real pathetic, agoo.

What? I'm a kid.
What do you want from me?

[blow lands]

[chuckles]

You know, I really
had one strange life.

So alone. So sad.

ANNO UN
JERSEY / HAIRTIE

And in the end...

I couldn't get the message
to you, Mom.

But Mom, can you see?

That guy is Andy.

He's undead and may look scary,

but he's capable of anything
if it's for Fuko.

That's Fuko.

She had a hard life due
to her unluck ability.

But ever since she met Andy,

she's been fighting
with courage.

And the small one there is Rip.

He's the person that I wanted
to tell you about.

[rain pattering]

It's my fault she's dead.

No, I...I'm the one who k*lled
my little sister.

[grunts]
If I hadn't told that fortune...

No, I did the operation!

If I hadn't cut her then Leila,
she would be...

[Anno] He's actually
really kind and cool.

But ever since losing
someone dear to him,

he's been suppressing it.

And he's even cooler
as an adult.

I mean, I know you always liked
handsome characters, Mom.

Just hold on.

I'll show you right now!

[grunts]

Age Rip up 15 years right now!

[beeping]

[whirring]

[gasps]

[groans]

[both gasping]

Huh?

My body is normal again?

But that's...

That's the Artifact
that Feng used to heal me.

The Time Control Artifact!

That's what you were drawing?

That's what you used?

- [beeps]
- You dumb a*s!

- [both gasping]
- [Rip] What are you thinking?

When someone uses that,

it takes the years they put

and ages them ten times
that amount!

How long did you...
hand the Artifact over!

If I use it back
on you we can still...

[pops]

[gasps]

Don't you worry, Rip.

I'm just going back.

Back to being all alone
once again.

In order for Autumn
to be captured,

we need you.

Your power's
a necessary component, Rip.

I'm glad I managed to see you
and talk to you.

Now the rest is up to you.

My cast of cool heroes.

[pops]

[clangs]

Huh?

UNDEAD
UNLUCK

[sword clangs]

- It's all because of her!
- [gasps]

My child got hurt because he
played with that girl of yours!

How are you gonna make up
for it?

I told you it was an accident.

Like I said every time,

Fuko here didn't do anythin'
at all.

The other youngin's said
so themselves, didn't they?

[mother] That girl's at the scene
of every incident that happens

at their school without fail!

She must have pulled
a prank or something!

[whimpering]

You haven't done
anything wrong, Fuko.

Yeah.

Hey, Grandpa, what's this?

[Grandpa] Ah, that was
your mom's favorite manga.

When a new volume comes out,

I always buy it and put it on
the altar as an offering.

[young Fuko] Manga?

Can I read it, please?

[Grandpa]
Aye, go right ahead.

I'm sure that'd make your mom
very happy.

Oh, wow!
Look at the pretty pictures!

My parents died.

My grandpa died.

But even then,

one thing kept me
from ending it all.

I can't die yet, can I?
Not until this ends.

- [rumbling]
- Anno, you...

[Andy] Huh?

[hissing]

[snarling]

It's repairing too fast.
How should I attack?

Hey, Undead.

Huh?

Who was that person just now?

Why'd they disappear?

And why did they turn me back
to normal?

[gasps]

I told you before.

I have no intention of getting
all buddy-buddy with you.

What, did you think I'd help you
because I'm in your debt?

That I'd have a change of heart
if you appealed to my emotions?

Well... I refuse.

[grunts]
Anno just...

Anno just called all
of us heroes!

They did so much for each
and every one of us!

From using You-Me
to guide us...

To giving us the chance
to go into Andy's past

to become stronger!

And last but not least...

Reverting you!

All these things are necessary
for us to defeat Autumn!

Rip's body's back to normal,

but he don't look
too happy, agoo.

- What's the matter?
- Well, you see,

Rip wants to be a villain.

Hmm?

'Cause otherwise he'll miss
his destination.

Because being a hero means Rip
would have to give up on her.

- [Andy] Yo, Rip!
- [grunts]

I'll cut open this lug
with my sword!

Then you hit the same spot
and make it unrepairable!

Huh?

[Andy] And Latla,
you defend the front!

We're gonna need you
to slip past his barrage fire.

- Got it?
- Excuse you?

Don't just casually
order me around!

Bunny, you're
a restrainer type, aren't ya?

You're on core retrieval duty!

Yes, sir! Agoo!

- Seriously?
- [Rip] Hey!

Who said you could call all
the shots here?

- I'll have you know...
- And I'll have you know...

We can win this.
No doubt about it!

[gasps]

[distant booming]

- What the...
- [gasps] Agoo?

What's going on?

[chattering]

[both screaming]

Those are Autumn's spiderlings!

They're going into its body?

[rumbling]

[chuckles]

- Must be its phase two.
- No way.

You mean it wasn't
at max strength already?

[Autumn]
My, what do we have here?

All of you look like you'd make
quite lovely books.

Especially you.

You'll make a good bookmark!

Andy, below you!

Hmm?

It's coming!

[gasps]

[giggles]

What's on your mind?

Rip, you've been helping me

for as far back
as I can remember.

I mean, you're like some kind
of hero, aren't you?

[booming]

[Autumn] Oh, my.
It won't heal.

- [giggles]
- Rip, you did it!

[snickers]

[scoffs]

[Rip] Latla.

[Latla] What is it?

[Rip]
Can we beat this thing?

Absolutely not.

We'll lose without a doubt.

[slurps]

[groans]

[chuckles]

[Anno] This is the tale
of a boy

who guided a cast of heroes.

Fine, but just this once.

Hah, we'll see!

[Anno] This story began when
a little boy who loved manga

picked up a mysterious pen.

A pen that showed him the past
and the future.

The boy tried to tell his mother
about what he saw...

about his visions of the past
and future.

But despite his efforts,
he was unable to do so.

That was because

the boy had become
the Negator: Unknown.

[rapid firing]

Nobody ever noticed him,
and he lived all by himself.

Despite that,
he never gave up on life.

Partly because of
his mother's desire

for him to stay alive.

But also because
of what he saw that day:

a cast of people facing their
bitter pasts and continuing

to fight...
a cast of heroes.

One day the boy realized,

if he drew as an author under
the alias Anno Un,

he could share his stories
with the world.

[booming]

And it wasn't long before

the boy realized
something else, too.

- Fuko, smooch me.
- Uh, right now?

Yeah!
A peck for bad luck!

[Anno] The heroes
he saw that day

actually existed in real life.

This fact alarmed the boy.

Latla, take care of Fuko!

Please and thank you, ma'am!

Well, you have some nerve,
don't you?

[Anno] Because in his
vision of the future,

Fuko was k*lled by
the hidden blade of Unseen,

and this world met its end.

He had to change the future.

The boy's mind was set.

These heroes instilled in him

the courage he needed
to risk life and limb

in order
to repay their kindness.

[slicing]

[jets roaring]

With info about the future
sprinkled throughout his manga,

he notified them
of his existence.

He extracted the manifestation
ability the pen held,

and in order to meet Andy
and Fuko,

he created another version
of himself...

one named Anno Un.

As a result,
the assassination was foiled.

Andy and Fuko became stronger.

Rip was returned to normal.

And preparations were set
to defeat Autumn.

[Andy]
Deep-Crimson Waxing Moon!

Full Moonsault!

[Autumn]
The wound won't close!

Damn you, vessel of repair!

Now, Latla!
Punch it!

We're busting through!

- Right!
- Right, agoo!

[Anno]
Perhaps it was a price to pay

for changing the future.

But the pen ultimately crumbled
to pieces.

He would never be able
to draw another double again.

- [grunts]
- What do we do now?

We can't see it anymore!

[Anno] The boy had gone back

to being alone once more.

- Don't worry!
- [Anno] But even so,

he had no regrets.

Hey, Anno.

I'm borrowing this move
from you.

[Anno] For he had already told
everything that needed

- to be told.
- [booming]

[Andy]
Volcano Unluck b*llet!

[rumbling]

- [groans]
- [booming]

[Autumn]
What's this? A finger?

Andy's finger definitely hit
its target dead on,

and it's in store for a stroke
of unluck!

- So just have faith!
- [Autumn gasps]

Because we have
the unluck Anno gathered

for us on our side!

[booming]

[rumbling]

- We did it! Andy!
- I got it, agoo!

[Anno]
From then on,

they would never be able
to see that boy again.

Could they assume
that he was dead?

No, for he was not.

Even if no one could
actually see him,

so long as there were people
who still remembered him...

Hey, Anno. We won.

[Anno] Then he would be
right there beside them.

That was what Andy believed.

This is the tale
of a hero

who guided a cast of heroes.

The title of that tale being,
To You, From Me.

Andy, over there!

Autumn is disappearing.

[Andy] Yeah,
'cause it lost its core.

The six of us came out on top.

Guess we did.

Latla, go and retrieve
the Soul Caliber.

- [Fuko] Mr. Rip!
- [Rip] What?

We're taking the Artifact.

[grunts]

[Fuko] Thank you very much
for working together with us.

I doubt the two of us could
have done it without your help.

When it looked like Andy
and I were in serious trouble,

you came to our rescue.

We were perfectly in sync, too!

So that proves we should be
working together and...

Listen, Unluck.

We can't work together.

I want Ark, understand?

Helping you would mean that I'd
be joining Union, wouldn't it?

What happens then?

Unjustice would almost certainly
uncover my plot.

Besides, your boss seems

to be keeping Ark
all to herself.

No one else
in Union knew about Ark.

That fact alone is all
the proof we need

to know it's true.

That leaves me no choice than
to steal it from her by force.

[Fuko] This person must
be very important to you.

They are.

They're my everything.

Big sissy Latla?

[Bunny] I'm really sorry
for stealing your g*n, agoo!

No, I'm the one who's sorry
for hitting you, agoo!

Oh, um...

Are you sure about just
letting us have Autumn?

You won't get in trouble?

[Rip]
I'll probably get an earful

for letting Sean get k*lled.

But whatever.

After all,
I ended up owing you guys.

[Latla] Take this.

I gathered all I could
of what's left.

[Fuko gasps]
This was Anno's.

[Rip]
Hey, Undead.

Do you know who exactly
Anno was?

I'm guessing a kind
of Negator.

One called Unknown.

A self-targeting
compulsory type, at that.

I see.

I hope they show up
again someday.

[Andy] Yeah.

Bye-bye for now, agoo!
Fuko!

[Fuko] Bye-bye for now, agoo!
[giggles]

Bye!
[grunts]

- [grunts]
- [thuds]

Hah, welcome to the party!

Guessin' your body
hasn't caught up yet,

to all of that major growin'
we did within the book.

You did good, Fuko.

Stickin' it out all that time.

[gasps]

Mm-mmm.

No biggie.
It was only about ten years.
