WEBVTT

00:16.350 --> 00:18.980
<i>This was its core?</i>

00:56.560 --> 00:59.060
Great work, everyone!

00:59.060 --> 01:01.230
Cleaning complete!

01:20.040 --> 01:22.500
Wanna eat something sweet.

01:30.210 --> 01:31.510
Sweets...

03:07.190 --> 03:10.480
I wish we'd gotten here a little earlier.

03:10.480 --> 03:13.860
I can't believe the Raiders were 
trying to build a giant trash beast

03:13.860 --> 03:16.320
and ride it up to the Sphere.

03:17.070 --> 03:18.490
Those filthy Raiders!

03:18.490 --> 03:21.700
I heard they were up to no good,

03:21.700 --> 03:23.490
but now they're creating trash beasts?!

03:23.490 --> 03:26.750
That's a declaration of war 
against the Cleaners!

03:26.750 --> 03:30.630
The question is, how could one 
be artificially created?

03:30.630 --> 03:32.670
And how many do they have?

03:33.090 --> 03:34.760
I heard it all.

03:35.260 --> 03:38.550
He was trying to make an entry 
in the... Watchman Series?

03:38.550 --> 03:40.140
And he failed.

03:40.140 --> 03:43.390
Then the failure became 
the imitation trash beast.

03:44.140 --> 03:47.640
Guita... you're showing skin.

03:47.640 --> 03:50.020
I don't get it, though.

03:50.020 --> 03:54.570
Does getting the whole Watchman Series 
together grant you a wish or something?

03:54.570 --> 03:59.410
I'd wish to turn back time so I could 
really fight that imitation trash beast!

03:59.860 --> 04:03.030
Make an entry... in the Watchman Series?

04:05.540 --> 04:07.160
Well, there's a lot we don't know.

04:07.160 --> 04:10.920
We'll just have to keep 
an eye on Raider activities.

04:10.920 --> 04:14.550
I have a feeling we'll be helping out 
with more of their "failures" in the future.

04:20.180 --> 04:24.260
<i>Can we save the deep thinking stuff 
until I've got some sugar in me?</i>

04:25.430 --> 04:28.310
<i>For now... I just...</i>

04:28.810 --> 04:31.350
<i>want to take in...</i>

04:31.770 --> 04:33.440
<i>the safety I've found.</i>

04:35.900 --> 04:39.860
<b>Episode 23</b>

04:35.900 --> 04:39.860
<b>"The Man Who Will Become Stronger"</b>

05:01.720 --> 05:04.390
That hurts! My arm! My arm!

05:04.390 --> 05:07.470
You totally broke it, man!

05:07.470 --> 05:09.980
Hey, you! Watch your driving!

05:09.980 --> 05:11.980
You better pay up <i>right now</i>!

05:15.650 --> 05:19.490
Yeah, I know a good doctor—
one that can fix your messed-up brain!

05:19.490 --> 05:23.700
Try the Alice Clinic 
in the next town over, dude!

05:23.700 --> 05:26.160
I won't even charge for the referral!

05:26.160 --> 05:28.040
Be grateful!

05:36.380 --> 05:37.960
Why the sunglasses?

05:37.960 --> 05:42.420
Enjin! You need to learn from how Gris drives!

05:42.420 --> 05:45.550
Don't give scum like that an excuse!

05:45.550 --> 05:47.050
You know why I don't.

05:47.050 --> 05:50.560
That guy's driving puts everyone to sleep!

05:50.560 --> 05:52.890
Yeah, after the Raider incident two days ago,

05:52.890 --> 05:55.440
it put everyone to sleep except Rudo.

05:59.190 --> 06:03.280
Rudo. It's impressive that you can 
stay awake with driving like that!

06:04.860 --> 06:06.990
Seriously, what's with the sunglasses?

06:06.990 --> 06:11.750
You're also always blaring that music! 
It's way too loud!

06:11.750 --> 06:15.120
Yeah, it's loud! 
Just like someone else I know!

06:15.120 --> 06:16.920
Seriously, keep it down already!

06:17.250 --> 06:18.590
Yeah, yeah.

06:18.590 --> 06:21.300
I guess we just don't answer that question.

06:32.520 --> 06:35.770
Those clothes look great on you, Rudo!

06:35.770 --> 06:39.610
You really love your silhouettes, huh?

06:40.690 --> 06:44.490
The brand name's Colosso, right? Yeah!

06:44.490 --> 06:48.530
To know what it means, you'll have 
to ask the person who made it!

06:48.530 --> 06:50.620
Of course, that'd be me!

06:51.080 --> 06:54.790
But you guys've got some pretty 
heavy fabric up in the Sphere, huh?

06:54.790 --> 06:56.710
Is it that cold in the Sphere?

06:56.710 --> 06:58.630
Or maybe the Ground's just really hot?!

06:58.630 --> 07:03.710
Hey, hey! Are you ignoring me 'cause 
you're a real Cleaner now, is that it?!

07:04.260 --> 07:05.380
Are you sad?

07:05.380 --> 07:07.050
So happy!

07:07.430 --> 07:08.800
Sorry.

07:10.390 --> 07:13.810
He's just too nervous 
to make small talk right now.

07:15.390 --> 07:18.600
He says he's not used to visiting 
people who are recuperating.

07:20.190 --> 07:21.480
Flowers?

07:21.770 --> 07:25.990
Aren't you supposed to bring flowers 
for a get-well-soon visit?

07:25.990 --> 07:29.160
I was curious, since we didn't do it for Gris.

07:29.700 --> 07:33.200
So you bring flowers 
to hurt people in the Sphere?

07:33.200 --> 07:34.750
Pretty awesome.

07:36.410 --> 07:39.830
On the Ground, flowers are a precious resource.

07:39.830 --> 07:42.920
They're difficult to grow 
and difficult to buy.

07:42.920 --> 07:44.460
I see.

07:44.460 --> 07:47.670
Delmon worked really hard 
for the flowers he has.

07:48.630 --> 07:50.510
For his wife who's gone now...

07:51.720 --> 07:52.760
Sorry.

07:52.760 --> 07:55.180
I can't give you my flowers.

07:55.180 --> 07:56.980
Oh, I mean...

07:57.480 --> 08:00.690
Sorry. Forget it.

08:00.690 --> 08:06.280
But bringing flowers for the wounded
 is an excellent custom!

08:06.280 --> 08:08.610
It's something we should do!

08:08.610 --> 08:12.030
If they don't need to be real, I know a shop 
that sells excellent artificial flowers!

08:12.030 --> 08:14.240
Let's go buy some, Rudo!

08:15.450 --> 08:17.410
We'll tag along.

08:18.500 --> 08:22.080
We were about to hit up Alice for medicine

08:22.080 --> 08:26.260
and buy some other things 
we need for the visit.

08:26.880 --> 08:28.300
<i>Crap.</i>

08:28.300 --> 08:29.510
<i>It kinda feels like...</i>

08:30.010 --> 08:33.850
<i>I'm pushing Sphere culture on them.</i>

08:39.810 --> 08:42.690
Zanka... Is he really that bad off?

08:43.110 --> 08:46.860
You said he was out 
with Jabber's poison all this time?

08:46.860 --> 08:48.530
Yeah, kinda.

08:48.530 --> 08:52.950
It looks like not even Eishia's power 
could completely excise the poison.

08:52.950 --> 08:55.490
We don't know what kind of poison Jabber used,

08:55.490 --> 08:57.540
if it was some kind of personal recipe,

08:57.540 --> 09:02.870
or if he even knew what kind of poison 
he was using, for that matter.

09:02.870 --> 09:05.750
At any rate, she had a hard time 
pinpointing exactly what it was.

09:06.210 --> 09:10.260
I'm just glad it seems like it wasn't fatal.

09:10.260 --> 09:14.010
Though someone who intentionally uses non-fatal 
poisons is kind of freakier in its own way.

09:14.430 --> 09:17.930
Still, he was the only one 
that got beat up that badly.

09:17.930 --> 09:20.480
It's probably a blow to his self-esteem.

09:21.270 --> 09:24.860
<i>Maybe I should plan this out better.</i>

09:26.610 --> 09:27.980
What are you talking about?

09:30.740 --> 09:32.240
Hey, wait—

09:50.800 --> 09:54.930
Zanka didn't grow up in the slums, 
and he wasn't subject to oppression.

09:55.640 --> 09:59.810
But he has experienced lows
 in the environment he grew up in.

10:01.560 --> 10:03.600
Rock bottom.

10:07.230 --> 10:08.440
But...

10:09.780 --> 10:13.650
He fought against his weakness 
and crawled his way up.

10:14.320 --> 10:17.280
The kind of person who's 
always fighting with himself

10:17.280 --> 10:19.370
won't be broken by something like this.

10:21.290 --> 10:25.870
I think he'll be something even better 
than a genius some day.

10:27.080 --> 10:28.460
He'll become strong.

10:34.420 --> 10:35.880
<i>Enjin?</i>

10:35.880 --> 10:37.550
What's up, Semiu?

10:37.550 --> 10:39.680
<i>Where are you right now?</i>

10:39.680 --> 10:42.180
Infirmary. Zanka's room.

10:42.180 --> 10:44.640
<i>Oh, perfect timing.</i>

10:44.640 --> 10:49.150
We've got someone here who wants 
to apologize to him about Canvas Town.

10:49.440 --> 10:52.150
Apparently, it's about his spell.

10:54.990 --> 10:57.700
Well... y'see...

10:59.830 --> 11:01.450
The thing is...

11:01.950 --> 11:04.910
The wrong spell got drawn on Zanka!

11:04.910 --> 11:06.210
We're sorry!

11:08.130 --> 11:09.790
Why just Zanka?

11:09.790 --> 11:11.630
Remlin! Explain now!

11:14.260 --> 11:16.550
R-Remember how, 
just before you went to Penta,

11:16.550 --> 11:21.470
I drew the "reduce major damage 
just one time" spell on you all?

11:22.100 --> 11:25.730
I drew it to have the same 
effect on all of you, right?

11:26.690 --> 11:31.940
For those of us who took damage, 
it seemed to work. Right?

11:32.440 --> 11:35.310
Yeah, I bet! Thank goodness!

11:37.990 --> 11:42.030
Well... so, the point is... see...

11:50.670 --> 11:54.340
In the process of drawing... I started 
thinking it'd be funny to draw one weird spell

11:54.340 --> 11:56.670
on just Zanka, the most serious guy there...

11:56.670 --> 12:00.430
so I might've ended up doing 
that on accident.

12:01.680 --> 12:06.560
So Zanka's spell didn't have 
the damage reduction effect?

12:06.560 --> 12:09.520
What "weird spell" did you draw on him, then?

12:10.350 --> 12:12.190
Zanka...

12:12.860 --> 12:14.440
do this.

12:49.180 --> 12:51.100
I'm sorry.

12:54.900 --> 12:57.110
<i>Well, that's pretty bad.</i>

12:57.780 --> 12:59.950
Zanka. Listen—

13:11.500 --> 13:12.870
I'm sorry.

13:13.290 --> 13:16.040
No one's ever done 
that kinda thing to me before...

13:17.050 --> 13:18.800
What are you laughing about?

13:19.130 --> 13:21.380
It's my fault you got hurt so bad...

13:21.380 --> 13:25.430
Nah, stop that. This ain't your fault.

13:25.430 --> 13:27.810
Spells are just s'posed to be insurance.

13:28.220 --> 13:32.810
I don't count on it when 
I'm fighting, so don't worry.

13:36.650 --> 13:39.940
I should've done better. That's all.

13:43.200 --> 13:45.780
I was still too weak.

13:45.780 --> 13:47.830
It ain't anyone's fault.

13:48.700 --> 13:53.960
So you can apologize all you want, 
but I won't hold it against ya.

13:54.790 --> 13:56.840
But at least let us pay for your hospital—

13:56.840 --> 13:58.460
Nah, don't bother.

14:00.010 --> 14:03.130
I don't need all that to get stronger.

14:04.760 --> 14:06.470
Don't take me lightly.

14:11.470 --> 14:13.350
He's evolving.

14:27.740 --> 14:31.330
You got somethin' you need, Rudo?

14:31.620 --> 14:34.080
Or is this a pity thing?

14:34.080 --> 14:37.540
If that's it, I'll toss you on your ass,
even if it tears my wounds back open to do it.

14:44.130 --> 14:47.840
Looks like you got the wrong idea, 
so I'll say this again.

14:48.390 --> 14:52.970
I ain't so far gone that I'll blame 
my own weakness on Remlin.

14:53.730 --> 14:58.770
Even if I went all-out back there 
and still ended up the most beat-up...

14:59.400 --> 15:02.190
Even if I'm the only one 
who got knocked outta the fight...

15:03.190 --> 15:06.400
Even if I wasn't any help to anyone...

15:12.160 --> 15:15.830
So long as I get stronger, 
it ain't no problem!

15:16.210 --> 15:17.830
So watch me do it, okay?!

15:24.630 --> 15:28.550
<i>Strangely, I found that all the pity 
I'd felt for him had vanished.</i>

15:29.640 --> 15:32.890
<i>Even though I, as a Sphereite, 
was the main reason it had all happened,</i>

15:32.890 --> 15:35.230
<i>he's not blaming anyone for it.</i>

15:37.060 --> 15:42.730
<i>I think I can learn more from this guy.</i>

15:50.570 --> 15:51.660
What...

15:52.330 --> 15:54.120
What's with the face?!

15:54.120 --> 15:56.580
You're lookin' down on me, you scuzzball!

15:58.210 --> 15:59.920
Why did you assume that?!

15:59.920 --> 16:01.790
I was just seeing you in a new light!

16:01.790 --> 16:04.630
A new light, huh?!
 You think you can judge me, is that it?!

16:04.630 --> 16:07.720
Looks like your head's still up in the Sphere!

16:07.720 --> 16:11.180
You freaky-eyebrowed bastard!

16:11.180 --> 16:13.140
Give back those flowers I bought for you!

16:13.140 --> 16:16.060
Flowers?! You brought me flowers 
while I was convalescin'?!

16:13.640 --> 16:14.890
Good buddies.

16:17.020 --> 16:19.560
Here. To speed up your recovery.

16:21.560 --> 16:24.230
Follo and Delmon picked out some of them.

16:24.230 --> 16:28.110
Everything else was contributed 
by the others as a whole.

16:28.110 --> 16:31.320
'Preciate it. Thanks.

16:32.530 --> 16:38.460
<i>Enjin gave it to me personally! 
What a great day!</i>

16:42.670 --> 16:45.090
Hey, trainer man.

16:45.920 --> 16:49.670
"I wanna have fun with them
and <i>happily</i> get my revenge!"

16:50.470 --> 16:52.590
Apparently, that's Rudo's new goal.

16:54.300 --> 16:57.100
Yeah, he's lookin' down on us.

16:57.640 --> 17:00.890
I've told him how we're fightin' for our lives,

17:01.230 --> 17:04.610
and here he's puttin' fun and revenge 
on the same pedestal.

17:04.940 --> 17:07.730
The kid's become insatiable.

17:11.490 --> 17:16.490
So we didn't make it across the border. 
Who knows if that was good or bad for Rudo?

17:17.490 --> 17:20.370
We're here right now.

17:20.830 --> 17:23.460
There was a lot of screaming on the way,

17:23.460 --> 17:28.340
but the Raiders didn't succeed 
in getting us out of the picture.

17:29.380 --> 17:34.390
Though I don't think taking us out 
was their main goal either.

17:35.350 --> 17:40.270
Even if their real goal is to take down 
the Sphere rather than antagonize us,

17:40.680 --> 17:44.770
if they're going to be making trash beasts, 
that's something we need to deal with.

17:45.770 --> 17:51.490
We'd have to face the Raiders again,
 whether Rudo was with us or not.

17:53.110 --> 17:55.950
Either way, I'm gonna focus on the same thing.

17:57.080 --> 17:59.330
I gotta get stronger.

18:00.750 --> 18:03.580
And if Rudo wants to try a buncha stuff out 
before he gets his revenge,

18:03.580 --> 18:05.540
he should be allowed.

18:06.130 --> 18:10.710
It don't matter to me how many 
new friends he makes here on the Ground.

18:11.460 --> 18:16.300
But Rudo's gotta realize 
what it is he's forgettin'.

18:19.390 --> 18:22.930
As his trainer, do I gotta 
teach him that crap too?

18:27.310 --> 18:28.980
Now he's sleepin'?

18:31.570 --> 18:33.700
What are you saying?

18:36.450 --> 18:38.740
The experiment was a success.

18:38.740 --> 18:39.910
Really?

18:40.700 --> 18:46.710
Though we lost the imitation trash beast,
some newbies, and the Watchman Series entries?

18:47.380 --> 18:53.720
The main thrust of the experiment was to see 
if it was possible to cross the border alive.

18:54.630 --> 18:57.430
They made it back alive.

18:57.800 --> 19:00.100
There was no problem at all.

19:00.510 --> 19:02.600
That's a surprise.

19:02.600 --> 19:04.640
I thought you were the kind of man

19:04.640 --> 19:07.770
who wanted things to go more according to plan,

19:07.770 --> 19:12.360
and to destroy all potential obstacles.

19:12.940 --> 19:16.990
There are things you can learn 
from impurities in the experiment as well.

19:18.910 --> 19:23.410
<i>In other words, he only sees them 
as parts of the experiment.</i>

19:23.410 --> 19:25.660
<i>The Cleaners got their work cut out for them.</i>

19:26.410 --> 19:32.590
A proper trash beast for crossing the border 
has already been prepared.

19:33.170 --> 19:36.510
We just need to work on enhancing it now.

19:37.130 --> 19:42.180
Fu wasn't much, but Noerde 
was a strong-willed person.

19:45.560 --> 19:46.730
Yes.

19:49.560 --> 19:55.240
A seed I planted in the past 
blossomed beautifully.

20:00.990 --> 20:03.280
She was a good warrior.

20:07.500 --> 20:08.670
Bundus.

20:11.710 --> 20:13.170
Congratulations.

20:13.500 --> 20:16.920
The reward you requested for your promotion.

20:19.050 --> 20:22.140
<b>Undertaker  Canis Surebrec</b>

20:24.060 --> 20:27.180
I've been looking for this forever!

20:27.180 --> 20:29.140
<i>Some kind of curio?</i>

20:30.310 --> 20:35.780
I look forward to you continuing 
to be an asset to the Raiders.

20:36.900 --> 20:39.030
I'm truly honored.

20:40.450 --> 20:43.200
I feel so unworthy

20:43.200 --> 20:47.500
to join the stars of the Raiders 
on the front lines.

20:48.790 --> 20:53.710
So... What's my first order as a first-stringer?

20:57.960 --> 21:04.950
<b>Choker</b>

20:58.420 --> 21:00.010
The chokers.

21:01.050 --> 21:06.600
This incident has confirmed 
that the chokers are made by a Giver—

21:07.100 --> 21:11.480
one with enough power to relay messages 
through most of the Ground.

21:12.560 --> 21:15.900
There's a good chance they have a piece 
of the Watchman Series in their possession.

21:18.030 --> 21:20.070
I see, I see...

21:20.530 --> 21:23.110
Find the maker of the chokers...

21:23.740 --> 21:26.580
A truly engaging order.

21:27.120 --> 21:30.200
But if you're going to collect 
the Watchman Series,

21:30.200 --> 21:32.830
should you have let those boots get away?

21:32.830 --> 21:34.170
Feels like a waste.

21:34.170 --> 21:37.590
If the Cleaners have them, 
that's all that matters.

21:37.880 --> 21:41.920
As long as we know where they are, 
we can always go and get them.

21:45.970 --> 21:48.970
We are Raiders.

21:50.980 --> 21:53.850
We'll search the far corners of the Ground,

21:54.690 --> 21:59.190
gather up the Watchman Series 
with the incredible energy it provides...

22:03.200 --> 22:05.410
And then,

22:06.700 --> 22:09.080
we'll head for the Sphere.
