1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,045
Please, don't glare at me like that.

2
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:08,967
I just want to celebrate a reunion...

3
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:11,011
with an old friend.

4
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,972
You cretin!

5
00:00:13,972 --> 00:00:18,977
You have no right to call me a friend
after you betrayed our king!

6
00:00:19,561 --> 00:00:21,563
At the heart of Shinjuku City.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,524
Directly below the aether reactor.

8
00:00:25,483 --> 00:00:29,571
This ritual magic facility for aether
refinement is known as the Immortal Furnace.

9
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:30,572
Immortal Furnace?

10
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:37,495
That's what we call the program that uses
immortals' souls as fuel to generate aether.

11
00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:43,501
The aether produced by this Immortal Furnace
is then drawn into the aether reactor

12
00:00:43,501 --> 00:00:50,592
where it gets converted into the electricity
and magic energy that supplies Shinjuku City.

13
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:54,512
It uses immortals' souls as fuel?

14
00:00:55,555 --> 00:00:59,517
Then are you telling me that
Ornared and Palmlock—?!

15
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:03,563
Those two served as excellent firewood.

16
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:07,484
The concern they showed for
each other until the very end

17
00:01:07,484 --> 00:01:09,527
was a beautiful display of friendship—

18
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:14,491
no, love.

19
00:01:16,534 --> 00:01:17,952
You!

20
00:01:17,952 --> 00:01:19,663
You b******!

21
00:01:29,172 --> 00:01:33,385
That hatred is so satisfying.

22
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:35,512
Do you have any idea what you're doing?!

23
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:38,515
Of course I do.

24
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,561
Physical death doesn't exist for immortals.

25
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:48,566
However, once they're tossed into the
Immortal Furnace, immortals' souls will burn

26
00:01:48,566 --> 00:01:51,486
until they meet their demise.

27
00:01:51,528 --> 00:01:55,532
In short, they face a spiritual death.

28
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,494
Allow me to tell you something
else while I'm at it.

29
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:03,540
You remember Zenol,
Duke of the Karmic Sword?

30
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,501
He was the first one we used as firewood.

31
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:11,506
I've burned through many of our
brethren with this furnace.

32
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:14,509
The agony Duke Zenol faced

33
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:19,514
as his body was wreathed in fire, his very
soul aflame until it finally gave out,

34
00:02:19,556 --> 00:02:25,478
must be impossible to imagine!

35
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:26,479
I'll kill you!

36
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:30,567
You will burn you until even
your ashes no longer remain!

37
00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:33,570
Oh, how scary, how scary.

38
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,531
Please don't be so mad.

39
00:02:36,531 --> 00:02:38,575
It's thanks to those virtuous immortals

40
00:02:38,575 --> 00:02:42,579
that we enjoy the affluent
lives we all live now.

41
00:02:42,579 --> 00:02:45,540
You should be showing them more gratitude.

42
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:47,542
Are you planning to use me as firewood, too?

43
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:48,501
Yes.

44
00:02:48,543 --> 00:02:51,546
It's time you became a
cornerstone of this city.

45
00:02:51,546 --> 00:02:58,595
Even at IHMI, only a select few know about
the existence of the Immortal Furnace.

46
00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:01,514
It's become difficult to motivate the citizens

47
00:03:01,514 --> 00:03:03,558
now that they've grown tepid
after post-war reconstruction,

48
00:03:03,558 --> 00:03:05,560
and if this were to become public,

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,565
then we'd be plagued with troublemakers
yapping about "immortal rights" or whatever,

50
00:03:11,524 --> 00:03:13,485
so in the interest of
preserving confidentiality,

51
00:03:13,485 --> 00:03:16,488
I came to collect you myself.

52
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:22,494
Our current firewood is just about to
burn out, so this was perfect timing.

53
00:03:22,577 --> 00:03:25,580
This Immortal Furnace is the
heart of Shinjuku City.

54
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:28,541
We can't afford to let it stop, now can we?

55
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:32,504
Fortunately, you're also
one of the Six Dark Peers,

56
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:37,509
so you should last long enough
to buy us the time needed

57
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:40,512
to find an alternative source of energy.

58
00:04:57,005 --> 00:05:04,012
Lord Marcus said the Demon Lord would pass
through here, so he assigned me to delay you,

59
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:08,058
but I didn't think you would actually come.

60
00:05:08,058 --> 00:05:11,978
Let alone with another associate.

61
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:13,021
Quite irregular.

62
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:17,984
Would you perhaps be the Hero Gram?

63
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:21,029
Yeah. You know about me?

64
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:22,030
I'm honored.

65
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,033
There were records of you in the database.

66
00:05:25,033 --> 00:05:29,079
The ageless Hero who did
great work during the second war.

67
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,998
I see.

68
00:05:31,998 --> 00:05:35,043
So the Hero and the Demon Lord
are now working together.

69
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:38,004
How interesting.

70
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:41,967
I'll handle her.

71
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:45,053
I might have grown despondent,
but my skills haven't grown rusty.

72
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:47,013
Don't worry about me.

73
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:51,017
You fool. As if I'd ever worry about you.

74
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:52,978
Though be wary.

75
00:05:53,061 --> 00:05:58,066
That woman's swordsmanship
might be on par with Zenol's.

76
00:06:01,987 --> 00:06:04,030
Then it'll be an easy victory, huh?

77
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:06,992
What was that?

78
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:09,995
I won a total victory against Zenol,
Duke of the Karmic Sword,

79
00:06:09,995 --> 00:06:11,997
in a duel of pure swordsmanship.

80
00:06:11,997 --> 00:06:15,041
With that under my belt,
there's no way I can lose.

81
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,960
True.

82
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,964
You were the strongest in all of Arneath
when it came to the sword.

83
00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:25,010
Damn specters of the past!

84
00:06:40,484 --> 00:06:42,527
Do you think I'll just let you go?!

85
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:47,991
You're in the way!

86
00:06:47,991 --> 00:06:50,952
Listen to me as you fight, Gram.

87
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:52,996
Don't die!

88
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:54,956
Understood!

89
00:06:57,959 --> 00:06:58,960
Vestum!

90
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:07,010
Damn specter!

91
00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:11,932
Your era has long since passed!

92
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:13,975
That's true.

93
00:07:14,935 --> 00:07:17,020
Though there's still
someone who needs a Hero.

94
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:20,982
Very well.

95
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:25,946
This simply means I need
to delete you quickly

96
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:29,950
and loop back to Lord Marcus' side.

97
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:33,912
Then I'll commit the results.

98
00:07:37,916 --> 00:07:39,960
Zerobase, activate.

99
00:07:58,937 --> 00:07:59,980
Armor?

100
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,910
A Magino Gear?

101
00:08:13,952 --> 00:08:15,954
Precisely.

102
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:21,001
This is the prototype of the
next generation Magino Gear

103
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:24,004
currently in development
by our company, Zerobase.

104
00:08:24,921 --> 00:08:27,966
By adapting armament summoning,

105
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:31,928
we've made it possible for the user to
summon it from a catalyst and equip it instantly.

106
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:34,973
A fifth-generation model.

107
00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:39,978
The Magino Gear currently in
production is the fourth generation.

108
00:08:40,979 --> 00:08:43,940
However, we've successfully made this
fifth-generation model, the Zerobase,

109
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:48,945
smaller and more lightweight
than its predecessor,

110
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:51,948
while also vastly improving its output

111
00:08:51,948 --> 00:08:53,992
and realizing better energy efficiency.

112
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:57,913
It's a true innovation of the industry!

113
00:08:57,913 --> 00:08:59,998
This machine is the birth of a new generation!

114
00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:03,960
Though unlike the fourth-generation model,

115
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,005
its one defect is that its operational time

116
00:09:07,005 --> 00:09:10,926
is greatly dependent on the
pilot's magic reserves.

117
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:14,930
However, that too will surely
be resolved in the future.

118
00:09:22,979 --> 00:09:26,942
You'll be providing us with valuable
test data for the Zerobase.

119
00:09:26,942 --> 00:09:27,984
You should be honored.

120
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:30,987
You ramble on a lot, just like your boss.

121
00:09:30,987 --> 00:09:34,908
I never asked for your product pitch.

122
00:09:37,995 --> 00:09:40,956
Both your weapon and its wielder

123
00:09:41,957 --> 00:09:43,917
are relics of the past.

124
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,961
Even your Familia is an old model.

125
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:47,963
Everything about you is outdated!

126
00:09:48,005 --> 00:09:53,927
In contrast, I possess the newest
machinery and the newest training!

127
00:09:53,969 --> 00:09:57,973
Battles aren't decided by the
age or quality of equipment.

128
00:09:57,973 --> 00:09:59,933
You either win or you lose.

129
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:00,934
That's all.

130
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:03,979
Well then...

131
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:20,954
I see. You have good instincts.

132
00:10:23,999 --> 00:10:26,960
I can't find an opening
to go on the attack.

133
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,963
The progress of technology is terrifying.

134
00:10:30,005 --> 00:10:33,008
I'm so glad I didn't have
to fight this thing

135
00:10:34,926 --> 00:10:35,927
during the City Wars.

136
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:39,931
It's tough.

137
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:48,982
Your normal attacks aren't
that fast, are they?

138
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:51,944
Are you sure about that?

139
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:57,950
Your magic will only activate when
you draw a fully sheathed sword.

140
00:10:59,952 --> 00:11:03,956
I suppose I should have expected
that from the battle-hardened Hero.

141
00:11:03,956 --> 00:11:05,916
Excellent.

142
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:09,002
That is indeed my magic, Lightning Draw.

143
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,965
However,

144
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:17,010
figuring that out doesn't mean
you have a chance at winning.

145
00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:19,972
My victory is already penciled in.

146
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:25,018
With the fifth-generation Magino Gear
and my lightning-fast drawing spell,

147
00:11:25,936 --> 00:11:27,980
the difference in combat
potential is obvious.

148
00:11:28,939 --> 00:11:31,984
Now, I've grown tired of talking.

149
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:34,945
Let's put an end to this.

150
00:11:36,905 --> 00:11:37,948
Here I come.

151
00:11:58,010 --> 00:12:00,929
I'm unable to hack you?

152
00:12:03,932 --> 00:12:06,018
You must be familiar with that as well.

153
00:12:06,977 --> 00:12:08,937
Makes this very hard.

154
00:12:08,979 --> 00:12:09,980
Even so—!

155
00:12:13,025 --> 00:12:15,944
I am the chosen one,

156
00:12:16,028 --> 00:12:18,989
and there is no way an outdated Luddite

157
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:20,949
can beat me!

158
00:12:25,996 --> 00:12:27,956
Earth Glaive!

159
00:12:35,923 --> 00:12:37,007
Not enough!

160
00:12:38,967 --> 00:12:40,928
Frost Nova!

161
00:12:46,934 --> 00:12:48,936
That won't stop the Zerobase!

162
00:12:53,982 --> 00:12:57,986
Of course I never expected it to.

163
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:03,951
Wha?!

164
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:07,955
Fireball!

165
00:13:22,928 --> 00:13:24,972
You annoying little—!

166
00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:27,933
Still won't get through, huh?

167
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:30,978
But it looks like this tactic is working.

168
00:13:30,978 --> 00:13:32,020
Huh?

169
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:34,940
That combo was an imitation

170
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:37,943
of what a darkling used against
me five hundred years ago.

171
00:13:37,985 --> 00:13:42,990
It looks like the tactic is still effective against
someone with your cutting-edge training.

172
00:13:43,949 --> 00:13:44,992
Don't underestimate me!

173
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,001
Why?!

174
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:55,961
Why can't I defeat you?!

175
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:04,970
You don't know?

176
00:14:05,012 --> 00:14:09,016
If this was enough to defeat me,
then I never would have cut it as the Hero.

177
00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:13,020
You Luddite!

178
00:14:19,902 --> 00:14:21,945
There's no way I'll lose

179
00:14:21,987 --> 00:14:24,990
to you and

180
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,993
that rusty sword!

181
00:14:28,994 --> 00:14:32,956
Is that how my sword looks to you?

182
00:14:33,957 --> 00:14:36,960
So long as there are
those who seek the Hero,

183
00:14:37,002 --> 00:14:40,923
this sword will always regain its light.

184
00:14:42,007 --> 00:14:47,930
Heed my call and shine, Ixasorde!

185
00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:51,975
Dinoah Luz.

186
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:53,018
A Stra Rops Aran.

187
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:58,941
Lez Ixasorde.

188
00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:06,949
Try to weather this,

189
00:15:06,949 --> 00:15:07,991
White Lightning.

190
00:15:08,951 --> 00:15:12,955
This is my greatest strike that
destroyed the Demon Lord!

191
00:15:12,996 --> 00:15:15,916
Now burn it into your eyes!

192
00:15:15,958 --> 00:15:18,961
Behold the light of this unsetting sun!

193
00:15:20,003 --> 00:15:25,926
Don't underestimate me!

194
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:34,977
Alwing!

195
00:15:54,997 --> 00:15:58,000
Ixa sure is temperamental.

196
00:15:59,001 --> 00:16:02,004
Even though it let me unleash
it for the first time in a while,

197
00:16:02,004 --> 00:16:04,965
it still only fired one strike.

198
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:11,930
That armor of yours, the latest
Magino Gear, is certainly incredible.

199
00:16:11,972 --> 00:16:15,934
Even if my strike wasn't as powerful as
it was when I defeated the Demon Lord,

200
00:16:15,976 --> 00:16:19,938
I'm surprised Ixa's blow
wasn't able to kill you.

201
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:23,984
Why have I lost?

202
00:16:25,903 --> 00:16:28,906
I think you're better off asking why I won,

203
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:31,992
rather than why you lost.

204
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:34,953
They're the same thing.

205
00:16:34,995 --> 00:16:37,956
Why were you able to win?

206
00:16:37,956 --> 00:16:39,958
My years of experience, probably.

207
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,961
Such a preposterous reason.

208
00:16:42,961 --> 00:16:46,006
No, no, you really can't ignore it.

209
00:16:46,965 --> 00:16:49,968
Especially not when I have five
hundred years of experience.

210
00:16:51,929 --> 00:16:54,973
I guess I managed to do something
heroic after all this time.

211
00:16:57,935 --> 00:17:01,939
I thought you were going to
head toward Lord Marcus.

212
00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:04,024
He'll be just fine without me.

213
00:17:04,024 --> 00:17:06,944
Your Demon Lord can't win.

214
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:10,906
Lord Marcus is strong.

215
00:17:10,906 --> 00:17:12,950
Far stronger than me.

216
00:17:12,950 --> 00:17:15,953
No, before that, anyone without a Familia

217
00:17:15,953 --> 00:17:17,955
could never hope to stand against him.

218
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:21,959
Your Demon Lord couldn't even
beat me in the bare flesh.

219
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:26,922
What's so funny?

220
00:17:26,922 --> 00:17:31,927
I thought you were a clever woman,
but you say some silly things.

221
00:17:32,010 --> 00:17:37,015
Did you really think that man went
to challenge your boss without a plan?

222
00:17:37,975 --> 00:17:40,018
If so, then you're severely
underestimating him.

223
00:17:40,018 --> 00:17:42,980
That's not the case!
That's why I'm still here!

224
00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:44,940
Oh, right.

225
00:17:45,023 --> 00:17:48,944
I'm the only one who knows
about his trump card.

226
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:52,948
Trump card? What do you mean by that?

227
00:17:52,948 --> 00:17:55,909
I'm betting even Marcus doesn't know.

228
00:17:55,993 --> 00:17:59,955
Anyone who saw that would
be cast into despair.

229
00:17:59,997 --> 00:18:01,999
That man is strong.

230
00:18:01,999 --> 00:18:05,919
I guarantee that as the man who beat you.

231
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:08,922
So...

232
00:18:09,965 --> 00:18:11,925
aren't you going to kill me?

233
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:12,968
Kill you?

234
00:18:12,968 --> 00:18:14,011
Yes, me.

235
00:18:18,015 --> 00:18:21,935
I don't have any real
reason to take your life.

236
00:18:22,936 --> 00:18:26,940
You no longer have the
strength to fight me,

237
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:27,983
so I don't need to kill you, either.

238
00:18:28,984 --> 00:18:32,905
You fought me and survived
thanks to your own skill.

239
00:18:32,946 --> 00:18:38,994
My role is to prevent people like you from
getting close to Veltol and interfering.

240
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:42,956
He'll handle the rest all by himself.

241
00:18:43,916 --> 00:18:44,958
Is that so?

242
00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:50,923
Sanctuary!

243
00:19:12,945 --> 00:19:16,991
Seems like that strike was
going to hit us both.

244
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:18,993
Oh, well.

245
00:19:19,952 --> 00:19:21,954
I guess it's time to do
another job as the Hero

246
00:19:23,998 --> 00:19:26,000
and help someone in trouble.

247
00:20:53,003 --> 00:20:54,964
Now then,

248
00:20:54,964 --> 00:20:56,966
that's enough of our long chat.

249
00:20:58,092 --> 00:21:05,099
Perhaps your soul will burn even brighter
than the rest, since you're an ignia.

250
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:08,143
Soon all the immortals shall be gone,

251
00:21:08,143 --> 00:21:13,065
and I will become this
world's true Demon Lord!

252
00:21:14,108 --> 00:21:17,111
This is where we bid farewell.

253
00:21:22,199 --> 00:21:24,118
Lord Veltol...

254
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:30,165
Udon alone won't provide balanced nutrition,
so please cook for yourself on occasion.

255
00:21:30,207 --> 00:21:33,127
Be sure to do the laundry regularly.

256
00:21:34,169 --> 00:21:39,133
Don't let it pile up on you.

257
00:21:40,134 --> 00:21:42,136
Since your work is sedentary,

258
00:21:42,136 --> 00:21:46,181
please don't forget to stand
and do stretches every hour.

259
00:21:48,142 --> 00:21:49,101
Also...

260
00:21:49,184 --> 00:21:50,185
What else...

261
00:21:54,189 --> 00:21:56,150
I loved you.

262
00:22:19,632 --> 00:22:21,675
I'm here to save you, Machina.

263
00:22:24,637 --> 00:22:26,597
"The Demon Lord's Resurrection."
