1
00:00:19,018 --> 00:00:20,061
This way! Hurry!

2
00:00:25,024 --> 00:00:26,025
-Over here!

3
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:33,032
-What's going on?
-Are you all right?

4
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:56,014
Nagan Labyrinth City

5
00:00:56,014 --> 00:00:58,975
This is the story of the first one.

6
00:00:59,017 --> 00:01:03,021
Episode 1
Soujirou the Willow-Sword

7
00:01:03,980 --> 00:01:06,983
But for Yuno the Distant Talon,

8
00:01:06,983 --> 00:01:08,067
it begins with a memory,
of a school friend named Lucelles.

9
00:01:08,067 --> 00:01:08,985
it begins with a memory,
of a school friend named Lucelles.

10
00:01:09,986 --> 00:01:10,987
Minia
Yuno the Distant Talon

11
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:12,030
Huh?

12
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,959
Word Arts

13
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:28,963
is the general term for techniques
that distort various natural phenomena,

14
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:31,007
using the will embedded in words.

15
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:35,053
Irrespective of the speaker's race
or linguistic system.

16
00:01:36,012 --> 00:01:39,057
Word Arts can only be used in this world.

17
00:01:39,057 --> 00:01:40,975
It doesn't work the same…

18
00:01:40,975 --> 00:01:43,019
-…in the world of the so-called visitors.

19
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:45,063
Yuno!

20
00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:48,983
Are you busy today?

21
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:51,986
W… Well, not really.

22
00:01:52,028 --> 00:01:53,029
How come?

23
00:01:53,029 --> 00:01:55,990
Can you teach me Force Arts?

24
00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:56,991
Huh?

25
00:01:56,991 --> 00:01:57,992
Me?

26
00:01:57,992 --> 00:02:00,036
Yep, you're great at it, Yuno.

27
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:03,998
It's better than my other arts, but…

28
00:02:03,998 --> 00:02:05,041
I'm counting on you, then.

29
00:02:05,041 --> 00:02:07,001
Okay?

30
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,045
O-Okay.

31
00:02:10,046 --> 00:02:13,049
We lived in Nagan Labyrinth City,
a town of scholars and explorers,

32
00:02:14,008 --> 00:02:18,012
that was built from the center
of the Great Labyrinth of Kiyazuna,

33
00:02:18,054 --> 00:02:21,975
the self-proclaimed Demon King.

34
00:02:34,028 --> 00:02:35,029
We got it!

35
00:02:35,071 --> 00:02:37,991
I can't believe
it came out from the Great Labyrinth.

36
00:02:38,032 --> 00:02:40,952
It probably went in after a bandit.

37
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:43,037
It's on the move again!

38
00:02:43,037 --> 00:02:45,039
The seal!
Find its life seal!

39
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:51,045
Like this?

40
00:02:52,046 --> 00:02:54,048
From Lucelles to the stone of Nagan.

41
00:02:54,048 --> 00:02:56,050
Scales of the sky.
Waves of red grain. Dance.

42
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:04,017
-You're great at this!

43
00:03:04,976 --> 00:03:06,060
That's poisonous, you know?

44
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:07,979
What?

45
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:09,981
That's why the Central Kingdom

46
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:12,066
crowned Sephite
of the United Western Kingdom as Queen

47
00:03:12,984 --> 00:03:13,985
and created Aureatia.

48
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:16,029
Is that so?

49
00:03:17,655 --> 00:03:18,656
Uh…

50
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,122
must have so many secrets and relics,
that we could never fully unearth it all,

51
00:03:26,122 --> 00:03:28,124
even when we become adults.

52
00:03:28,207 --> 00:03:29,208
Right.

53
00:03:29,208 --> 00:03:32,170
No matter who you are
or what your past is,

54
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:35,173
the path to glory is open to everyone.

55
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:46,225
There's no need
to be scared of anything anymore.

56
00:03:46,225 --> 00:03:48,186
The True Demon King is dead.

57
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:50,229
The age of fear is over.

58
00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:56,152
Now, the two of us
can dream of a future filled with glory.

59
00:04:21,093 --> 00:04:23,137
But this was that future.

60
00:04:29,727 --> 00:04:30,728
Lucelles…

61
00:04:31,729 --> 00:04:32,730
Lucelles!

62
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:38,110
No…

63
00:04:38,152 --> 00:04:40,112
Stop!

64
00:04:46,827 --> 00:04:47,870
P… Please help--

65
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,921
No…

66
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,840
No!

67
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:14,563
Nobody understood.

68
00:05:14,605 --> 00:05:16,607
Nobody understood anything.

69
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:19,652
Even though the True Demon King had died,

70
00:05:20,611 --> 00:05:22,571
it wasn't the end.

71
00:05:22,613 --> 00:05:24,657
No! Make it stop!

72
00:05:28,703 --> 00:05:30,579
From Yuno
to the Arrowhead of Fipike.

73
00:05:30,579 --> 00:05:31,622
Index finger axis. Lattice star.

74
00:05:31,622 --> 00:05:33,624
Exploding sparks. Spin!

75
00:05:41,632 --> 00:05:43,551
Huh?

76
00:05:43,634 --> 00:05:44,635
Why?

77
00:05:45,594 --> 00:05:47,596
Why did you die just from that?

78
00:05:47,596 --> 00:05:49,557
That means Lucelles…

79
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,600
could have been saved!

80
00:05:56,564 --> 00:05:58,607
From Yuno to the Arrowhead of Fipike.

81
00:05:58,607 --> 00:06:01,569
Index finger axis. Lattice star.
Exploding sparks. Spin!

82
00:06:05,573 --> 00:06:08,576
Go ahead and kill me…

83
00:06:08,576 --> 00:06:09,577
Go on.

84
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:13,080
Fine by me! I want to die!

85
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,041
That's right! I--

86
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:30,056
Huh?

87
00:06:30,097 --> 00:06:31,098
Yo.

88
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:33,350
So you like dying, huh?

89
00:06:33,809 --> 00:06:35,728
-Well?

90
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:38,731
I'm asking if you like dying.

91
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:40,775
Yes… I mean no.

92
00:06:40,775 --> 00:06:42,777
What's up with you?

93
00:06:42,777 --> 00:06:43,778
You're going to miss out.

94
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:46,781
Things are about to get fun for humans.

95
00:06:46,822 --> 00:06:48,783
F-Fun?

96
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:52,745
Yup. Once everything else goes away.

97
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:56,791
You'll get to choose
where you go and what you do.

98
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:58,709
Won't that be great?

99
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:03,756
You couldn't do something like this
with a chipped practice sword.

100
00:07:04,757 --> 00:07:05,758
Wait…

101
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:07,718
Are you a visitor?

102
00:07:07,718 --> 00:07:10,721
So, you call us that in this town, too?

103
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:12,765
Well, call us what you like.

104
00:07:12,765 --> 00:07:14,725
It doesn't interest me.

105
00:07:15,643 --> 00:07:16,685
Surely not…

106
00:07:16,685 --> 00:07:18,687
Did you defeat them all?

107
00:07:18,687 --> 00:07:21,649
There are machines
in this world too, huh?

108
00:07:21,649 --> 00:07:23,692
What are they called again? Golems?

109
00:07:23,734 --> 00:07:26,695
No number of them can match my sword.

110
00:07:29,114 --> 00:07:31,116
Bundleroot grass is poisonous.

111
00:07:31,116 --> 00:07:32,159
I thought so.

112
00:07:32,201 --> 00:07:35,162
Don't you have any food on you?

113
00:07:35,162 --> 00:07:39,166
You should run away from here.
You must!

114
00:07:39,166 --> 00:07:43,128
No matter how strong you are,
this place is doomed!

115
00:07:43,128 --> 00:07:46,173
Come on, don't get angry.
Why is it doomed?

116
00:07:46,173 --> 00:07:47,216
Why, you ask?

117
00:07:47,216 --> 00:07:49,176
Can't you see that?

118
00:07:49,218 --> 00:07:53,138
Can you kill that thing
with just one sword?

119
00:07:57,184 --> 00:07:59,144
The Great Labyrinth itself

120
00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:02,147
turned out to be one huge golem.

121
00:08:03,148 --> 00:08:06,193
It might be a monster created to defeat

122
00:08:06,193 --> 00:08:08,153
the True Demon King!

123
00:08:10,155 --> 00:08:11,156
Heh.

124
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,622
So you've got no food?

125
00:08:18,622 --> 00:08:21,584
I'm even fine with grass or bugs.

126
00:08:22,543 --> 00:08:24,545
I still haven't had breakfast.

127
00:08:24,587 --> 00:08:27,548
I… I have some travel ration.

128
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:30,551
But it doesn't really taste of much.

129
00:08:30,551 --> 00:08:32,553
Talking to you is a bit of a pain.

130
00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:34,597
All right, give me some of that.

131
00:08:34,597 --> 00:08:36,557
Call it an exchange.

132
00:08:36,557 --> 00:08:37,558
An exchange?

133
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,561
I'll take care of that
huge lump of metal for you.

134
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:43,564
I was just getting around to it, actually.

135
00:08:43,605 --> 00:08:45,566
This will be fun, huh?

136
00:08:46,608 --> 00:08:48,569
Very fun.

137
00:08:49,528 --> 00:08:52,573
W… Who the heck are you?

138
00:08:52,614 --> 00:08:56,535
Soujirou Yagyuu,
of the Yagyuu Shinkage-ryu.

139
00:08:56,577 --> 00:09:00,539
I'm the last Yagyuu on Earth.

140
00:09:00,622 --> 00:09:02,624
A visitor
from the Distant World,

141
00:09:03,542 --> 00:09:04,626
much different from ours.

142
00:09:05,627 --> 00:09:09,590
That swordsman arrived
with the darkest of omens.

143
00:09:10,549 --> 00:09:14,553
Ishura
Golem, Word Arts of Life

144
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:17,639
That move you did before,
it was Word Arts, right?

145
00:09:18,557 --> 00:09:20,559
-How do you do it?
-Huh?

146
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,604
You did it just now!
When you fired out that arrowhead.

147
00:09:24,563 --> 00:09:26,565
You can at least teach me that.

148
00:09:26,607 --> 00:09:30,569
I was taught
that visitors can't use this power.

149
00:09:30,611 --> 00:09:34,573
"The Distant World of the visitors
is built solely on the laws of physics.

150
00:09:35,532 --> 00:09:38,619
They speak only using words of sound,
so it's beyond their understanding."

151
00:09:39,536 --> 00:09:40,621
Words of sound?

152
00:09:41,538 --> 00:09:42,623
Oh, I see.

153
00:09:42,623 --> 00:09:45,626
It's not like you speak Japanese here.

154
00:09:45,626 --> 00:09:49,546
Word Arts is the reason
we can communicate right now.

155
00:09:49,588 --> 00:09:52,591
We use Word Arts to ask the air or objects

156
00:09:52,591 --> 00:09:54,635
to do things like move or burn.

157
00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:57,554
I don't really get it, so whatever.

158
00:09:57,596 --> 00:09:58,597
Huh?

159
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:00,599
A sword is much better.

160
00:10:00,599 --> 00:10:02,601
You'll die!

161
00:10:02,601 --> 00:10:03,602
Doesn't matter.

162
00:10:05,604 --> 00:10:07,564
Everyone is dead.

163
00:10:07,564 --> 00:10:09,525
Killing that thing now won't change that.

164
00:10:09,566 --> 00:10:11,527
Running away is the obvious thing to do!

165
00:10:11,610 --> 00:10:12,611
Why's that?

166
00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:14,613
Because…

167
00:10:16,615 --> 00:10:18,617
once you die it's all over.

168
00:10:19,576 --> 00:10:21,578
-All over, huh?

169
00:10:21,578 --> 00:10:24,540
So we give up just because
the enemy is an unbeatable monster?

170
00:10:24,873 --> 00:10:27,417
Against that walking disaster?

171
00:10:27,417 --> 00:10:31,421
-I can't ask you to fight.
-You're not involved in this.

172
00:10:32,464 --> 00:10:34,424
I'm going to fight it
because it'll be fun.

173
00:10:35,425 --> 00:10:37,469
There's no way it won't be fun.

174
00:10:37,469 --> 00:10:38,470
Just look.

175
00:10:42,474 --> 00:10:44,476
-Time to do this.
-Huh…

176
00:11:08,458 --> 00:11:09,459
How?

177
00:11:09,501 --> 00:11:11,420
How is he so fast?

178
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:18,612
From Nagan to the heart of Naganeruya.

179
00:12:18,612 --> 00:12:21,531
Flow of angular clouds.

180
00:12:21,531 --> 00:12:24,576
Edge of heaven and earth.

181
00:12:25,577 --> 00:12:28,580
Overflowing vast ocean.

182
00:12:37,547 --> 00:12:38,548
There it is.

183
00:12:39,549 --> 00:12:41,593
The light that scorched the city.

184
00:12:43,553 --> 00:12:44,596
That monster…

185
00:12:45,555 --> 00:12:47,557
can even use Thermal Arts.

186
00:12:49,518 --> 00:12:50,602
Burn.

187
00:13:38,817 --> 00:13:40,777
Thanks a lot.

188
00:13:40,777 --> 00:13:43,738
Those golems you chucked out
were the perfect footholds.

189
00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:45,740
My prediction was that

190
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:47,826
it wouldn't harm itself
with its own Word Arts.

191
00:13:53,832 --> 00:13:56,751
-I see.

192
00:13:56,835 --> 00:13:58,753
For you…

193
00:14:01,756 --> 00:14:02,757
it all comes down

194
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:04,759
to that.

195
00:14:06,803 --> 00:14:08,805
Eighth year of the Eiroku Era.

196
00:14:09,723 --> 00:14:12,726
Although it is
an anecdote of uncertain authenticity,

197
00:14:12,767 --> 00:14:14,769
the founder of Yagyuu Shinkage-ryu,

198
00:14:14,769 --> 00:14:17,814
Muneyoshi Yagyuu,
is said to have defeated a student

199
00:14:18,732 --> 00:14:22,777
of master swordsman Kamiizumi Nobutsuna,
with the Mutodori technique.

200
00:14:22,819 --> 00:14:25,780
Is it really possible to dodge
an opponent's attack,

201
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:28,825
then steal their weapon
and use their own momentum

202
00:14:30,744 --> 00:14:31,828
to defeat them?

203
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:40,754
It is possible.

204
00:14:42,797 --> 00:14:45,759
I see it now. Your life seal.

205
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:49,763
There it is!

206
00:14:55,810 --> 00:14:57,729
I'll take that.

207
00:14:57,771 --> 00:14:58,813
Your weapon is mine now.

208
00:15:20,752 --> 00:15:22,754
And this is what they call Mutodori.

209
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:41,815
He really defeated it.

210
00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:44,734
But why?

211
00:15:44,776 --> 00:15:46,820
Why did the Great Labyrinth
start moving today?

212
00:15:48,738 --> 00:15:50,740
Don't tell me it's because of Soujirou.

213
00:15:51,741 --> 00:15:53,785
Did it react automatically
to his strength?

214
00:15:54,786 --> 00:15:55,829
Or…

215
00:15:56,746 --> 00:15:57,831
Did he activate it on purpose…

216
00:15:58,790 --> 00:16:01,751
because he wanted to fight it?

217
00:16:04,754 --> 00:16:05,797
I cut it up!

218
00:16:06,756 --> 00:16:09,759
It was more fun
than cutting up an M1.

219
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:10,760
M1?

220
00:16:10,802 --> 00:16:14,764
Yep, an M1 Abrams.
A tank. Understand?

221
00:16:14,806 --> 00:16:18,726
Yeah, I thought not.

222
00:16:18,726 --> 00:16:20,728
The people here just don't get it.

223
00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:21,771
Why?

224
00:16:22,772 --> 00:16:23,815
How?

225
00:16:24,774 --> 00:16:26,776
If you imagine you created them,

226
00:16:26,776 --> 00:16:28,778
you can easily discover their life seal.

227
00:16:29,779 --> 00:16:31,781
Not their legs,
which are close to the ground.

228
00:16:31,823 --> 00:16:34,742
The waist carries too much bulk.

229
00:16:34,742 --> 00:16:36,744
The chest is a flame-throwing weapon.

230
00:16:36,828 --> 00:16:39,789
It struck first with its left arm.

231
00:16:40,748 --> 00:16:42,792
That just left the right arm.

232
00:16:44,794 --> 00:16:45,795
All right, I'm off.

233
00:16:46,754 --> 00:16:47,755
W-Wait.

234
00:16:47,755 --> 00:16:48,756
Huh?

235
00:16:48,798 --> 00:16:50,800
Here. Travel ration for you…

236
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,803
Oh, yeah! I was feeling hungry.

237
00:16:53,803 --> 00:16:56,764
I had so much fun I completely forgot.

238
00:16:57,724 --> 00:16:58,766
Thanks.

239
00:17:03,229 --> 00:17:05,231
Better than bugs or grass.

240
00:17:05,231 --> 00:17:07,275
-Maybe this world isn't all that bad.
-I see.

241
00:17:07,275 --> 00:17:09,235
I…

242
00:17:09,277 --> 00:17:11,237
hate strong people.

243
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,243
Strong people
who made my life insignificant.

244
00:17:17,285 --> 00:17:21,247
Even once everything is destroyed,
and even tragedies are trampled over,

245
00:17:21,289 --> 00:17:25,293
a weakling like me
won't even have a right to deny that it.

246
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:29,297
That's why,
even if it ends up being wrong,

247
00:17:29,297 --> 00:17:32,258
I have to support myself with something.

248
00:17:33,301 --> 00:17:36,262
All right, moving on.

249
00:17:36,262 --> 00:17:38,264
Time to find something even more fun.

250
00:17:38,264 --> 00:17:40,224
Which way should I go?

251
00:17:40,224 --> 00:17:41,267
-Aureatia.
-Huh?

252
00:17:41,309 --> 00:17:43,227
You should go to Aureatia.

253
00:17:43,269 --> 00:17:45,313
It's become the largest country there is.

254
00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:47,231
Is that right?

255
00:17:47,273 --> 00:17:48,316
Are there some strong folks there?

256
00:17:49,275 --> 00:17:50,276
There are.

257
00:17:52,236 --> 00:17:55,239
The Council of Aureatia is gathering
heroes from around the world.

258
00:17:55,281 --> 00:17:58,326
They're planning
to do something big.

259
00:17:59,243 --> 00:18:00,286
Perfect.

260
00:18:01,245 --> 00:18:02,330
There are people
who can kill this man.

261
00:18:03,206 --> 00:18:05,249
That's right, in this world,

262
00:18:05,249 --> 00:18:07,251
there are strong people who can do that.

263
00:18:07,293 --> 00:18:12,256
That's why, there are surely enemies
out there who won't lose even to you.

264
00:18:12,298 --> 00:18:15,301
There's the Second General of Aureatia,
who everybody knows the name of.

265
00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:18,221
Rosclay the Absolute.

266
00:18:19,222 --> 00:18:21,224
I know of Toroa the Awful,

267
00:18:21,307 --> 00:18:23,309
who hides away
in the distant Wyte Mountains.

268
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:28,272
Krafnir the Hatch of Truth,
who speaks of mastering

269
00:18:29,232 --> 00:18:31,234
an unknown fifth system of Word Arts.

270
00:18:32,235 --> 00:18:35,238
There's the visitor who liberated
the Great Ice Fortress nine years ago,

271
00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:38,241
Kazuki the Black Tone.

272
00:18:38,324 --> 00:18:41,244
Or Lucnoca the Winter,

273
00:18:42,286 --> 00:18:44,247
who nobody has ever seen.

274
00:18:45,289 --> 00:18:48,251
I have to know who this man is.

275
00:18:48,292 --> 00:18:50,211
I must find out,

276
00:18:50,253 --> 00:18:51,295
what exactly the Distant World is.

277
00:18:53,214 --> 00:18:54,298
I'll guide you there.

278
00:18:55,216 --> 00:18:57,218
As a scholar of Nagan, that is.

279
00:18:57,218 --> 00:18:58,219
That way,

280
00:18:58,261 --> 00:19:00,304
Aureatia won't suspect us.

281
00:19:01,264 --> 00:19:03,266
Nice. I like that expression.

282
00:19:04,225 --> 00:19:06,269
-My expression?
-Anyway, thanks for this.

283
00:19:07,228 --> 00:19:10,314
This means you can
do whatever you want from here on.

284
00:19:11,274 --> 00:19:12,275
You're free.

285
00:19:14,318 --> 00:19:17,321
Right. Thank you too.

286
00:19:21,242 --> 00:19:22,243
I'm free…

287
00:19:23,244 --> 00:19:25,246
Now that I've lost everything,

288
00:19:25,288 --> 00:19:28,249
I feel like I can do something wild.

289
00:19:28,332 --> 00:19:30,209
What's your name?

290
00:19:30,251 --> 00:19:31,252
Yuno.

291
00:19:32,295 --> 00:19:34,297
Yuno the Distant Talon.

292
00:19:35,256 --> 00:19:38,259
The horizon is crawling
with countless shura.

293
00:19:38,301 --> 00:19:40,303
This is the story of the first one.

294
00:19:41,304 --> 00:19:44,265
The one who can defeat

295
00:19:44,265 --> 00:19:47,268
numerous golems using only his sword.

296
00:19:48,311 --> 00:19:52,231
The one who exercises
supreme swordsmanship

297
00:19:52,231 --> 00:19:54,317
that reduces widespread legends
into mere truths.

298
00:19:56,235 --> 00:19:59,280
The one who understands
the vital spots of all living creatures,

299
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,241
and possesses an instinct for slaughter.

300
00:20:02,283 --> 00:20:06,245
He couldn't even be contained
in the reality of his own world.

301
00:20:06,245 --> 00:20:08,247
He is the last swordsman.

302
00:20:10,291 --> 00:20:15,254
He is a Blade. He is a minia.
He is Soujirou the Willow-Sword.

303
00:20:28,309 --> 00:20:31,312
ISHURA

304
00:21:47,346 --> 00:21:50,349
Looks like someone was
only after their life seals.

305
00:21:50,349 --> 00:21:51,392
Heh.

306
00:21:52,351 --> 00:21:54,353
So there's another one out there.

307
00:22:02,361 --> 00:22:03,404
Episode 2
Alus the Star Runner
