1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,480
If the heroes are fighting each other
2
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:14,490
instead of the Waves of Catastrophe,
3
00:00:15,490 --> 00:00:17,240
then for the sake of the world,
4
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:19,620
I must kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.
5
00:00:20,830 --> 00:00:23,790
"Kill the Four Cardinal Heroes," eh?
6
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:25,790
Naofumi-sama?
7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,460
Not yet!
8
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:30,960
Never mind. It's nothing.
9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,180
They've really taken to you.
10
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:38,760
Right?
11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,560
Liberation: Wind Prison.
12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Melty!
13
00:00:56,530 --> 00:00:58,200
What's going on?
14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,200
What are you doing to Mel-chan?!
15
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,000
Mel-tan,
16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,790
I need you to be my hostage.
17
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,270
The Rising of the Shield Hero
18
00:02:41,090 --> 00:02:42,510
"Hostage"?
19
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:46,930
A Promise Made
20
00:02:42,510 --> 00:02:44,100
What's the meaning of this?
21
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,930
Shield Hero, promise me.
22
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:50,230
Promise me you'll make up
with the other heroes.
23
00:02:50,230 --> 00:02:52,480
Let Mel-chan out of there!
24
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:54,190
And if I don't,
25
00:02:54,190 --> 00:02:56,400
you're threatening to hurt Melty?
26
00:02:58,650 --> 00:03:00,740
I thought I told you it wasn't happening!
27
00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:04,330
Even still, I must ask you to.
28
00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:07,490
Why are you so obsessed with
the heroes working together?
29
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:12,290
Because I made a promise
to the hero who raised me.
30
00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:15,630
And because the heroes must cooperate
31
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:19,260
in order to save the world from the Waves.
32
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:20,720
Please.
33
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:22,760
It doesn't matter how many times you ask.
34
00:03:23,340 --> 00:03:25,720
I have no intention of
reconciling with those morons.
35
00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:30,770
In that case, new heroes
will have to be summoned.
36
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:34,940
And to enable that, I'll kill
all the current heroes.
37
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:39,530
So that's what you meant last night?
38
00:03:39,940 --> 00:03:42,320
That will help the world in the long run.
39
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,870
Yeah, doing that would be easy for her.
40
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:50,500
Please reconcile with the other heroes.
41
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:54,080
Even then,
42
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,630
I can't do it.
43
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,090
You don't need to take Melty hostage.
44
00:04:00,550 --> 00:04:02,880
If you want to kill me, feel free.
45
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,720
But...
46
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,810
Naofumi!
47
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,310
Naofumi-sama!
48
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,770
Just know that I'm not going
down without a fight!
49
00:04:11,730 --> 00:04:12,640
Don't.
50
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:16,690
Detecting transformation jamming
51
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:18,480
Not again!
52
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,190
I understand how you feel, Shield Hero.
53
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:22,150
What?
54
00:04:22,990 --> 00:04:26,780
If that's how it is, prove to me that
55
00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:31,120
you and your party can
fight the Waves alone.
56
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,710
Prove to you?
57
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:34,210
How do we do that?
58
00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:36,630
By fighting you right here and now?
59
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,710
Shield Hero, I more or less
know how strong you are.
60
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:45,130
I want a one-on-one with Filo.
61
00:04:45,970 --> 00:04:47,180
Me?
62
00:04:47,470 --> 00:04:51,680
If you prove to me that you're strong,
I'll release Mel-tan.
63
00:04:52,470 --> 00:04:55,940
And I won't kill the heroes for a while.
64
00:04:55,940 --> 00:04:57,440
I'll give you time.
65
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,690
I don't really understand, but if
I win, Master won't be killed,
66
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:05,950
and Mel-chan will be freed too, right?
67
00:05:05,950 --> 00:05:06,410
Wait.
68
00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:07,450
Hang on, Filo—
69
00:05:07,450 --> 00:05:08,990
Then I'll fight.
70
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,990
I'll fight in this form,
71
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:15,000
so you fight me in human form too, Filo.
72
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:17,500
Gotcha.
73
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:19,210
I said wait!
74
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,130
This way.
75
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:35,730
Here I come.
76
00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:36,980
Whenever you're ready.
77
00:05:45,690 --> 00:05:46,490
You're slow.
78
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:53,740
Huh?
79
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,660
Filo! Above you!
80
00:06:00,830 --> 00:06:02,000
Filo-chan!
81
00:06:05,090 --> 00:06:06,260
Ow...
82
00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:13,100
Why did Fitoria choose to fight
Filo and not Raphtalia?
83
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,430
And why are they fighting in human form?
84
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,940
Damn it.
85
00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:19,980
Filo!
86
00:06:19,980 --> 00:06:21,860
Don't just charge in blindly!
87
00:06:22,230 --> 00:06:23,820
Use your head!
88
00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:26,190
Master...
89
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,030
And regenerate your clothes
when you have the chance!
90
00:06:29,410 --> 00:06:32,410
Pour your mana into it and increase
your defense as much as you can!
91
00:06:35,450 --> 00:06:36,750
Gotcha!
92
00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:40,500
As source of your powers, Filo orders you.
93
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,290
Decipher the laws of nature
94
00:06:42,290 --> 00:06:46,010
and blow my target away with
a vicious vacuum burst.
95
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,510
Zweit Tornado!
96
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Nullify the vacuum burst.
97
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,350
Anti-Zweit Tornado!
98
00:06:59,690 --> 00:07:01,770
Watch out! It's jamming magic!
99
00:07:03,730 --> 00:07:04,900
You're wide open.
100
00:07:12,490 --> 00:07:15,450
She has no time to regenerate
her clothes at all.
101
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:21,460
Melty.
102
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:24,420
Filo's in trouble if this keeps up.
103
00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:27,920
I'll try to get rid of
this cage with my shield.
104
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:36,180
Naofumi!
105
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,310
Naofumi-sama!
106
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:42,560
She cut through the shield's
defense with ease!
107
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,020
Master!
108
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:45,730
Eyes on me.
109
00:07:48,030 --> 00:07:52,740
He got what he deserved for trying
to cheat and rescue Mel-tan.
110
00:07:53,910 --> 00:07:56,330
But do you know why he did that?
111
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:57,870
Because you're weak.
112
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:03,420
What do you fight for?
113
00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:05,920
Isn't that obvious?
114
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,840
For Master!
115
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,590
You couldn't beat the dragon last night,
you can't beat me now,
116
00:08:12,590 --> 00:08:15,680
and you expect to be useful
to the Shield Hero?
117
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,640
I'm not gonna lose!
118
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,560
I'm gonna become strong for Master!
119
00:08:20,890 --> 00:08:23,310
Not with such a shallow will!
120
00:08:32,030 --> 00:08:34,409
Are you all right, Naofumi-sama?
121
00:08:34,409 --> 00:08:36,370
Yeah, somehow.
122
00:08:36,370 --> 00:08:39,580
I won't let Master get hurt any more.
123
00:08:39,990 --> 00:08:41,250
I'll... I'll be much, much stronger!
124
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,170
I'll... I'll be much, much stronger!
125
00:08:45,670 --> 00:08:46,670
Really?
126
00:08:54,090 --> 00:08:55,300
What is she...
127
00:08:55,710 --> 00:08:58,600
Is she absorbing the mana
particles in the air?
128
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:01,720
Is that even possible?
129
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:04,480
Filo!
130
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,100
Master...
131
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:08,860
I'm fine.
132
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,820
Calm down, and watch her attacks closely.
133
00:09:13,150 --> 00:09:15,240
I know you can do it!
134
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:19,240
I know you can do it.
135
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Yeah!
136
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,000
Too slow.
137
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:32,170
Okay, but I'll still beat you!
138
00:09:35,470 --> 00:09:37,630
Spiral...
139
00:09:37,630 --> 00:09:41,560
Strike!
140
00:09:45,730 --> 00:09:49,150
Go!
141
00:09:49,150 --> 00:09:50,190
Filo!
142
00:10:06,370 --> 00:10:07,710
Naofumi-sama!
143
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,540
Did you see that magic
attack Filo just used?
144
00:10:10,540 --> 00:10:11,420
Yeah.
145
00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:16,800
I...
146
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:21,850
I won't lose.
147
00:10:24,850 --> 00:10:29,440
Master, I'll grow stronger.
148
00:10:30,150 --> 00:10:33,610
Strong enough to protect you, Mel-chan,
149
00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:35,780
and Raphtalia-oneechan.
150
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,410
Strong enough to protect everyone.
151
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,160
Okay.
152
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,370
So...
153
00:10:46,370 --> 00:10:49,290
I'll never lose.
154
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,250
That's enough, Filo.
155
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,550
You win.
156
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,800
I'll free Mel-tan.
157
00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:01,930
You did well.
158
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,100
Filo-chan!
159
00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:12,350
Mel-chan...
160
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,860
Master...
161
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:18,490
I won.
162
00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:19,860
Yeah.
163
00:11:20,570 --> 00:11:22,110
You did amazing, Filo.
164
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,210
You did well to pass the trial.
165
00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:39,340
Filo, you were being tested.
166
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,590
Yes.
167
00:11:41,970 --> 00:11:45,640
If you hadn't passed it, you would've died.
168
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,930
And the Shield Hero would have, too.
169
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:53,810
What is that?
170
00:11:53,810 --> 00:11:57,570
A symbol proving that you overcame my trial.
171
00:11:58,030 --> 00:11:59,570
Lower your head.
172
00:12:05,530 --> 00:12:10,040
Filo, I appoint you my successor.
173
00:12:10,410 --> 00:12:11,910
Successor?
174
00:12:13,540 --> 00:12:17,380
You mean she'll become
the next filolial queen?
175
00:12:17,380 --> 00:12:19,300
That's amazing, Filo-chan!
176
00:12:25,510 --> 00:12:28,470
Is that the symbol of being next in line?
177
00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:30,430
It's just a cowlick!
178
00:12:30,430 --> 00:12:32,180
C-Cute!
179
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:35,060
Something weird grew on my head!
180
00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:36,520
Get it off!
181
00:12:40,690 --> 00:12:42,240
It grew back!
182
00:12:42,950 --> 00:12:46,160
And it'll keep growing back,
so get used to it.
183
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,490
And you'll gain more of them as you grow.
184
00:12:49,490 --> 00:12:51,700
Am I gonna look like you?
185
00:12:54,250 --> 00:12:56,380
Her stats have increased.
186
00:12:56,380 --> 00:12:59,670
Does that cowlick increase her
base numbers across the board?
187
00:13:00,090 --> 00:13:03,840
Since Filo's level is capped right now,
this is perfect for her.
188
00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:06,340
I also have something for you, Shield Hero.
189
00:13:06,340 --> 00:13:07,220
For me?
190
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,970
I don't want a cowlick!
191
00:13:08,970 --> 00:13:10,010
What's a cowlick?
192
00:13:10,010 --> 00:13:11,890
It's something better.
193
00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:13,770
I'll heal your wounds, too.
194
00:13:19,690 --> 00:13:21,650
Now show me your shield.
195
00:13:22,190 --> 00:13:23,280
Like this?
196
00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:32,410
Shields were force unlocked
197
00:13:30,580 --> 00:13:32,330
Force unlocked?
198
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,000
I can't use many of them because
my level's not high enough,
199
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:39,630
but it looks like the entire
Filolial Series has been unlocked.
200
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,340
Now I just have to meet their requirements.
201
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,630
Well, thank you.
202
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:46,220
You're welcome.
203
00:13:46,220 --> 00:13:50,260
But I still have something I wish
to discuss with you in private.
204
00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:51,890
There's more?
205
00:13:51,890 --> 00:13:53,560
Uh...
206
00:13:54,020 --> 00:14:01,520
You didn't use us just to
test Filo-chan, did you?
207
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,940
I did. I feel bad for what I did to you.
208
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,280
Is there anything you desire?
209
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,280
Huh?
210
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,490
W-Well, you see...
211
00:14:11,490 --> 00:14:12,950
You know...
212
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:26,760
Wow, amazing! I'm so high up!
213
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:30,720
Ah, I'm living the dream!
214
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,140
Is a ride really all she wanted?
215
00:14:34,180 --> 00:14:36,680
I wanna be really big soon, too!
216
00:14:37,890 --> 00:14:41,150
Who knows how many cowlicks
you'll have by then?
217
00:14:41,150 --> 00:14:43,690
No!
218
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,490
That was so much fun!
219
00:14:50,490 --> 00:14:53,330
The day has only just begun.
220
00:14:53,330 --> 00:14:55,790
Get some more rest before you leave.
221
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:58,540
But...
222
00:14:59,710 --> 00:15:03,340
Well, if Fitoria's offering, why not accept?
223
00:15:03,340 --> 00:15:04,550
Really?
224
00:15:04,550 --> 00:15:06,420
This is a celebration, after all.
225
00:15:06,420 --> 00:15:09,000
We need to show you some
real hospitality as well.
226
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,470
A party to celebrate the
appointment of a new queen?
227
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:16,890
You mean me?
228
00:15:16,890 --> 00:15:18,980
Don't go making decisions for me!
229
00:15:18,980 --> 00:15:20,980
Congratulations, Filo-chan.
230
00:15:26,190 --> 00:15:28,110
Me too?
231
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,250
Picking up where you left
off this afternoon?
232
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,500
Did you really try to make up with them?
233
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:27,840
Not this again.
234
00:16:28,550 --> 00:16:31,050
Did you try to clear your name?
235
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,260
Well...
236
00:16:45,850 --> 00:16:50,860
I guess I didn't bother,
thinking they'd never believe me.
237
00:16:52,820 --> 00:16:57,160
If you don't tell them they're wrong,
you're basically admitting your guilt.
238
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:58,580
Maybe.
239
00:16:59,030 --> 00:17:02,410
I'm going to drop you off close
240
00:17:02,410 --> 00:17:05,670
to another hero when I take you back.
241
00:17:05,670 --> 00:17:07,170
You're coming with us?
242
00:17:07,579 --> 00:17:10,050
I won't involve myself any further.
243
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:13,880
Show me you four are worthy
of my involvement.
244
00:17:14,510 --> 00:17:18,140
You want me to talk it out
right then and there, right? Got it.
245
00:17:19,099 --> 00:17:21,220
I'll try my best.
246
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:23,430
Is that all?
247
00:17:23,890 --> 00:17:24,980
No, there's more.
248
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:28,560
If even one Cardinal Hero is
missing when a Wave hits,
249
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,030
fighting it off will be
exponentially more difficult.
250
00:17:31,570 --> 00:17:36,860
If that looks likely, it's better to
kill you all and summon new heroes.
251
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,200
So if all four of us don't
talk it out and reconcile,
252
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,910
you'll kill us anyway, huh?
253
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,050
I can't tell you after how
many Waves it will happen,
254
00:17:54,050 --> 00:17:57,760
but there will come a time when the
world demands sacrifices from all life.
255
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,350
The world will demand sacrifices?
256
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,270
The heroes will be forced to choose
what they fight for in that battle.
257
00:18:05,930 --> 00:18:08,150
I'm waiting for that time to come.
258
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,980
Choose what we fight for?
259
00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:13,860
Will you fight for the world,
or will you fight for its people?
260
00:18:14,570 --> 00:18:18,660
If you choose the world,
many lives will be lost.
261
00:18:19,780 --> 00:18:23,120
But you'll be able to fulfill your duty.
262
00:18:23,790 --> 00:18:26,460
And what if we choose the people?
263
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,330
It'll be a thorny path.
264
00:18:31,130 --> 00:18:33,210
How much do you know?
265
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,920
There is a lot I have forgotten,
266
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,640
but there is one thing I remember.
267
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,220
Saving the world isn't the
same as saving its people.
268
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,480
Past heroes wished for their
successors to save the people.
269
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,070
Not that I get it, but it makes sense for
heroes of the people to choose them.
270
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:54,900
You can't do it as you are now.
271
00:18:55,190 --> 00:18:59,070
You can't overcome all
those hurdles by yourself.
272
00:19:01,450 --> 00:19:03,620
Why are you telling me all this?
273
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:07,830
Wouldn't it be easier to
convince another hero?
274
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,550
I rate you higher than the other heroes.
275
00:19:16,550 --> 00:19:17,380
Why?
276
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,510
You raised Filo, the next queen.
277
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:23,100
You couldn't possibly be a bad guy.
278
00:19:24,050 --> 00:19:25,890
I am a bad guy.
279
00:19:25,890 --> 00:19:28,060
If you say so.
280
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,100
I believe you have it in you
281
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:35,150
to talk it out with the other heroes.
282
00:19:35,650 --> 00:19:38,820
Besides, you four heroes are far too weak.
283
00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:43,780
Even if I don't kill you personally,
you'll die sooner rather than later.
284
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,290
Are the upcoming battles
going to be that rough?
285
00:19:47,870 --> 00:19:51,710
Then I'll need the Rage Shield
more than ever.
286
00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:55,840
If you absolutely must use that shield...
287
00:20:00,550 --> 00:20:01,760
What's happening?
288
00:20:01,930 --> 00:20:05,720
Barbarian Armor +1
289
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,430
That will slow down the
Curse Shield's corrosion.
290
00:20:09,020 --> 00:20:12,310
But it won't completely stop it,
291
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:14,230
so try to avoid using it as much as you can.
292
00:20:14,610 --> 00:20:17,400
After all that talk about killing me?
293
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,060
I guess you're just really nice, Fitoria.
294
00:20:22,450 --> 00:20:23,950
You're really nice,
295
00:20:23,950 --> 00:20:25,370
Fitoria.
296
00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:34,920
Well, given you're doing all this for me,
I guess I'll give it my best shot.
297
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,630
But don't get your hopes up.
298
00:20:39,090 --> 00:20:40,510
Could you get off?
299
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:45,430
Please, Shield Hero.
300
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:51,680
Hey, was it the Shield Hero who raised you?
301
00:20:51,980 --> 00:20:53,560
I forgot.
302
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,770
Filolials have short memories.
303
00:20:58,820 --> 00:20:59,900
I see.
304
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:07,740
But I remember this gentle touch.
305
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,730
This is the place.
306
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:00,880
Here's where the Four Cardinal Weapons'...
307
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,440
Yes. There's no doubt about it.
308
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:13,490
Hey, what's the meaning of this?
309
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,490
It's empty!
310
00:23:18,510 --> 00:23:19,690
It can't be.
311
00:23:19,690 --> 00:23:21,090
Everyone, run away!
312
00:23:36,220 --> 00:23:39,970
A Conspiracy Linked
