WEBVTT

00:02.020 --> 00:06.450
The Water Dragon says the barrier 
is controlled from that lighthouse.

00:06.450 --> 00:11.140
We'll have to disable it if we want to 
hook up with the ones still on the ship.

00:11.140 --> 00:13.940
I'd like to get them in port quickly, yeah.

00:15.670 --> 00:18.480
Their stats seem okay...

00:21.050 --> 00:24.960
But no matter what we do, 
we can't get close to land.

00:24.960 --> 00:25.920
Yes.

00:25.920 --> 00:28.400
Is everyone okay?

00:28.400 --> 00:29.890
Naofumi-sama...

00:30.250 --> 00:32.960
Raph-chan says they're fine, right?

00:32.960 --> 00:37.300
I'm not worried. Just upset 
that I'm not next to him.

00:42.260 --> 00:43.710
Where's Naofumi?

00:49.290 --> 00:51.010
Here we are!

00:51.590 --> 00:53.420
How do we look?

00:53.420 --> 00:54.960
Great.

00:56.170 --> 00:58.220
It'll hide your face, too.

00:59.240 --> 01:03.300
Raphtalia-chan, make sure you don't 
let your tail and ears show.

01:03.300 --> 01:04.120
Okay.

01:04.830 --> 01:06.680
What is this?

01:06.680 --> 01:10.370
It's proof that the Water 
Dragon protects us.

01:10.370 --> 01:13.750
It's an object of worship in this country.

01:13.750 --> 01:15.900
So it's something holy?

01:16.810 --> 01:19.410
If we're done changing, let's go.

01:19.410 --> 01:20.480
Right.

01:20.870 --> 01:24.230
We need to break that barrier.

01:32.130 --> 01:36.090
<b>The Rising of the Shield Hero</b>

02:55.920 --> 03:01.430
<b>Episode 7: Arriving in Q'ten Lo</b>

02:56.660 --> 02:58.870
It's beautiful...

02:58.870 --> 03:02.210
The Sakura Lumina shine when it's night.

03:02.210 --> 03:05.540
They're used as an energy source 
for a lot of different tools.

03:06.010 --> 03:09.150
Could we take them home and 
use them in our village?

03:09.150 --> 03:12.980
The thing is, they only seem to 
grow properly in this country.

03:12.980 --> 03:14.360
I see.

03:15.180 --> 03:17.120
Are they fishing?

03:17.120 --> 03:19.710
Looks like they're gathering seaweed.

03:19.710 --> 03:22.870
It'd be fastest if we could just fly there.

03:22.870 --> 03:25.340
Unless they tried to 
shoot us out of the sky.

03:25.340 --> 03:27.910
We'll be safe and go by land.

03:33.510 --> 03:34.960
I don't know what to call this...

03:34.960 --> 03:37.860
"Japanese Raphtalia Land"?

03:37.860 --> 03:39.420
What?

03:39.420 --> 03:42.360
It's in honor of the Emperor's clan.

03:42.360 --> 03:44.920
The Emperor's clan is loved by the people?

03:45.380 --> 03:50.900
But my mom and dad had to leave Q'ten Lo.

03:51.440 --> 03:52.280
Huh?

03:56.980 --> 03:57.770
What?

04:01.970 --> 04:02.990
Naofumi-sama!

04:02.990 --> 04:03.570
Yeah.

04:03.570 --> 04:04.300
Wait.

04:04.980 --> 04:06.600
You go, Gaelion-chan!

04:07.290 --> 04:09.440
You two don't move.

04:15.360 --> 04:16.700
Can you stand?

04:21.250 --> 04:22.380
Hey!

04:22.790 --> 04:24.330
What was that about?

04:24.600 --> 04:27.990
How could you...

04:27.990 --> 04:30.450
Aren't you scared of the magistrates?

04:36.440 --> 04:39.310
You were the ones who killed 
that monster, right?

04:39.310 --> 04:41.970
We just wanted to save that kid.

04:41.400 --> 04:46.600
All that happened here was one 
monster happening to eat another.

04:47.560 --> 04:49.280
Lies.

04:49.280 --> 04:50.960
Would you disobey the Emperor?

04:50.960 --> 04:52.630
Of course not.

04:52.630 --> 04:57.340
I'm sure you're smart enough to 
know what this monster is, right?

04:57.640 --> 04:59.320
A servant of the Water Dragon?

05:00.590 --> 05:02.290
We're sorry!

05:03.980 --> 05:05.100
Who are they?

05:05.100 --> 05:08.180
Messengers of the Water Dragon?

05:08.540 --> 05:10.630
I can't believe it's gotten this bad...

05:11.410 --> 05:14.270
Well done, young lady!

05:15.940 --> 05:18.820
While everyone else was too scared 
of the magistrates to act,

05:18.820 --> 05:21.400
you took action to save that child's life!

05:21.800 --> 05:24.890
If a child's being attacked, of 
course you're going to save them.

05:24.890 --> 05:28.660
I'm so moved that I've fallen 
in love, young lady!

05:30.020 --> 05:34.000
Please allow me, Muramasa, to buy 
you a cup of tea, young lady.

05:34.000 --> 05:36.590
Um, we didn't...

05:36.590 --> 05:39.450
I'm sorry. We're in a hurry.

05:39.450 --> 05:42.020
How gorgeous!

05:42.020 --> 05:45.540
Please, let me buy you some tea!

05:45.840 --> 05:47.500
<i>He's going after every girl he sees...</i>

05:47.500 --> 05:49.040
<i>Is he Motoyasu #2?</i>

05:49.440 --> 05:50.660
Thanks.

05:50.660 --> 05:55.350
But I already have someone 
I like, so I must refuse.

05:55.350 --> 05:57.310
Aw, don't say that.

05:57.760 --> 05:59.570
Zweit Thunderbolt.

06:01.540 --> 06:03.880
What a tomboy...

06:05.340 --> 06:07.450
Well, now we've attracted attention.

06:07.450 --> 06:08.940
Let's get moving.

06:08.940 --> 06:10.100
Yes.

06:10.380 --> 06:11.880
Let's hurry.

06:11.880 --> 06:13.050
Let's.

06:13.050 --> 06:15.080
What a strange man!

06:19.170 --> 06:21.770
What were those magistrates upset about?

06:21.770 --> 06:26.590
The current emperor forbids 
killing living things.

06:26.590 --> 06:28.330
Even monsters.

06:29.580 --> 06:32.690
Like one of the old shoguns did.

06:32.690 --> 06:35.290
The shogun?

06:35.290 --> 06:37.890
I'm glad Gaelion was here.

06:39.010 --> 06:43.200
So they can't punish a monster for 
killing another monster, huh?

06:43.510 --> 06:47.900
If the monster's owner made them do it, 
maybe the owner would be punished.

06:47.900 --> 06:51.070
But they can't do anything if it's 
a servant of the Water Dragon.

06:51.070 --> 06:54.780
So we made good use of what the 
Water Dragon gave us, huh?

06:57.050 --> 07:00.910
Which means they can't even 
fish in this country.

07:00.910 --> 07:02.650
Yes.

07:03.010 --> 07:05.430
That's why the fishermen 
were gathering seaweed.

07:05.430 --> 07:09.330
Wait! If you take that, how am I to...

07:09.330 --> 07:12.800
Those who don't pay their taxes 
are no different than traitors!

07:14.050 --> 07:16.430
But if we can't fish...

07:16.430 --> 07:19.220
Would you disobey the emperor?

07:25.840 --> 07:27.200
Raphtalia-chan...

07:28.430 --> 07:31.540
We may be able to use this to our advantage.

07:32.320 --> 07:36.440
I'm sure a lot of the citizens 
aren't happy with this law.

07:38.340 --> 07:39.280
What's wrong?

07:39.280 --> 07:40.590
Someone's watching us.

07:45.500 --> 07:46.800
A magistrate?

07:46.800 --> 07:47.830
I don't know.

07:48.460 --> 07:50.630
We'll use invisibility magic 
when we turn the corner.

07:50.630 --> 07:51.380
Got it.

08:00.500 --> 08:04.930
I am not your enemy!

08:04.930 --> 08:09.820
The sea people have shared with 
me the words of the Water Dragon,

08:09.820 --> 08:11.910
and I have come to welcome you!

08:12.540 --> 08:15.800
Please, at least hear me out!

08:15.800 --> 08:16.840
Raphtalia.

08:17.600 --> 08:21.370
The timing's too good for the 
whole thing to be a lie.

08:21.370 --> 08:22.420
Hey.

08:23.560 --> 08:25.330
For now, stand up.

08:27.800 --> 08:29.180
Um...

08:29.180 --> 08:32.510
First, let's hear who you 
are and what you want.

08:32.510 --> 08:36.040
I am Luminus, the son of 
Raluva,the city mayor.

08:36.040 --> 08:37.780
Get to the point.

08:37.780 --> 08:38.970
But...

08:39.300 --> 08:42.440
I would prefer you to speak normally, too...

08:42.660 --> 08:43.810
Then...

08:44.260 --> 08:47.940
We want your help.

08:48.460 --> 08:50.060
Why us?

08:50.450 --> 08:54.410
I'm sure you've seen what's 
happening in this country.

08:54.800 --> 08:56.900
This "no killing living things" thing?

08:57.220 --> 09:01.360
And the taxes are horrible... some of 
the people are literally starving.

09:01.810 --> 09:05.950
We cannot let this evil government continue.

09:05.950 --> 09:09.260
So you're not happy with the emperor, huh?

09:09.500 --> 09:12.560
I'll explain more at the mansion.

09:12.980 --> 09:15.210
Would you come with us?

09:15.580 --> 09:17.970
We could at least listen to him, right?

09:17.970 --> 09:19.230
Yeah.

09:19.660 --> 09:22.420
Don't get any ideas about 
setting us up for a trap.

09:22.420 --> 09:24.610
I would never!

09:24.610 --> 09:28.100
If I offend you, I'll slit my 
stomach open to apologize!

09:33.100 --> 09:37.900
I am Raluva, the city mayor.

09:38.330 --> 09:41.530
May I see your face?

09:45.340 --> 09:48.090
You look like your father.

09:48.090 --> 09:50.160
You knew my father?

09:50.900 --> 09:53.140
He was very kind to me.

09:53.430 --> 09:57.080
You spent time with
Raphtalia-chan's father, right?

09:57.400 --> 09:59.740
You're the former miko of 
the Water Dragon, right?

09:59.740 --> 10:00.930
It's good to see you again.

10:00.930 --> 10:04.140
I'm Iwatani Naofumi, the Shield Hero.

10:04.140 --> 10:06.030
I know of you.

10:06.030 --> 10:11.650
We cannot thank you enough for 
keeping Raphtalia-sama safe.

10:12.150 --> 10:14.280
I thought this place was cut off.

10:14.280 --> 10:16.170
But you know about the outside world.

10:16.170 --> 10:19.210
This is a trading town, after all.

10:19.210 --> 10:20.610
I see.

10:20.610 --> 10:21.570
And?

10:21.570 --> 10:24.580
What do you mean you want our help?

10:26.380 --> 10:31.830
We want Raphtalia-sama to take the 
throne and end this awful government.

10:31.830 --> 10:35.320
Take the throne? M-Me?

10:35.320 --> 10:40.880
We came to this country to work things out 
with whoever was attacking Raphtalia.

10:41.250 --> 10:43.840
Once that's done, we're leaving.

10:44.720 --> 10:46.350
I am aware.

10:46.660 --> 10:48.100
You're not opposed to that?

10:48.430 --> 10:52.680
If she would become a puppet to those 
in power like the current emperor,

10:52.680 --> 10:54.740
she would be no true emperor!

10:55.140 --> 11:00.110
The emperor is supposed to exist for the 
sake of this world, for their people.

11:00.370 --> 11:03.960
Raphtalia-sama's father felt the same.

11:05.420 --> 11:09.960
Is that why he left?

11:09.960 --> 11:12.400
That's not the only reason.

11:12.400 --> 11:17.060
There was an ugly fight over who was
to be the next emperor back then.

11:26.400 --> 11:31.200
Staying in this country would've 
meant a horrible end for him.

11:31.560 --> 11:32.770
And so...

11:33.500 --> 11:36.300
We have waited for so long...

11:36.300 --> 11:39.130
for the moment when the true 
emperor would put an end

11:39.130 --> 11:42.750
to this and return this world 
to the way it should be!

11:43.810 --> 11:45.690
What is your plan?

11:46.110 --> 11:49.560
First, to eliminate the magistrates 
guarding the lighthouse,

11:49.560 --> 11:52.260
to send the signal to start the revolution.

11:52.260 --> 11:54.920
I believe that would benefit you as well.

11:55.240 --> 11:56.670
Do you have the troops ready?

11:56.670 --> 12:00.460
My clan, and the people of this town,

12:00.460 --> 12:02.620
are ready to rise up.

12:02.620 --> 12:04.010
All right.

12:06.390 --> 12:07.800
Naofumi-sama...

12:08.240 --> 12:10.940
Raphtalia, get your miko outfit ready.

12:11.760 --> 12:13.230
Again?

12:13.230 --> 12:14.720
But that means...

12:17.400 --> 12:18.460
Here.

12:19.220 --> 12:20.580
Do you know what that means?

12:20.580 --> 12:21.870
If I put that on...

12:21.870 --> 12:24.320
They're coming after us anyway.

12:24.320 --> 12:26.510
We'd do better to have more allies.

12:26.510 --> 12:28.290
Yes, but...

12:28.290 --> 12:33.050
I want to get that barrier down fast, so we 
can meet up with the ones on the ship, too.

12:33.050 --> 12:34.840
And... look.

12:35.630 --> 12:37.420
Look at their eyes.

12:37.420 --> 12:41.900
They've been waiting for so 
long for a sign to appear.

12:42.580 --> 12:44.290
I'll help you put it on.

12:53.430 --> 12:55.260
U-Um...

12:54.850 --> 12:55.560
<b>Water Dragon's Miko Dress - Crude</b>

12:55.640 --> 12:57.900
<b>Water Dragon's Miko Dress - Crude</b>

12:58.360 --> 13:02.050
Please, guide us, emperor!

13:02.050 --> 13:05.810
We will follow you, 
even if it costs us our lives!

13:07.050 --> 13:09.200
Proud citizens of Q'ten Lo!

13:11.110 --> 13:13.410
The true emperor has returned!

13:13.640 --> 13:16.680
Now is the time to put an 
end to the evil government!

13:16.960 --> 13:19.920
The true emperor will lead you!

13:20.320 --> 13:21.500
For the sake of the world!

13:21.500 --> 13:22.370
For the sake of your people!

13:22.790 --> 13:25.210
Come with us if you are brave enough!

13:30.380 --> 13:34.610
Naofumi-sama, you imitated Atla-san 
to get them fired up...

13:34.610 --> 13:36.580
And it worked!

13:36.580 --> 13:39.030
I'm getting excited!

13:39.030 --> 13:43.440
We'll take the lead. I don't 
want unnecessary casualties.

13:44.750 --> 13:46.080
All right.

13:46.480 --> 13:49.540
If we can't avoid this, 
we'll have to go forward.

13:55.580 --> 13:56.880
Halt!

13:56.880 --> 14:00.050
This is holy ground 
belonging to the emperor!

14:00.050 --> 14:04.550
Tell your leader that the true emperor 
has come to speak with them!

14:05.140 --> 14:09.410
You're the False Emperor... and the 
holders of the evil Spirit Implements!

14:09.410 --> 14:11.420
We do not speak to traitors!

14:11.420 --> 14:12.770
Kill them!

14:15.010 --> 14:17.020
Well, I expected that.

14:17.470 --> 14:18.230
Let's go!

14:22.730 --> 14:24.200
Meteor Shield!

14:24.560 --> 14:27.890
The Spirit Implements will not work on us!

14:31.660 --> 14:33.370
Damn it! He blinded me?!

14:33.370 --> 14:35.900
We've made preparations, too.

14:35.900 --> 14:37.680
All Zweit Aura!

14:38.240 --> 14:39.350
Raphtalia-chan!

14:39.350 --> 14:39.830
Right!

14:44.620 --> 14:46.780
Follow the true emperor!

14:46.780 --> 14:48.340
Yes, Father!

14:53.260 --> 14:54.860
We'll do this fast!

14:54.860 --> 14:55.710
Okay!

15:00.520 --> 15:01.850
This is the lighthouse...

15:02.430 --> 15:04.460
If we can quench the fire at the top...

15:06.240 --> 15:07.680
What are you doing?

15:08.060 --> 15:12.200
Kill the False Emperor already!

15:12.530 --> 15:14.480
He's the boss?

15:14.480 --> 15:15.960
So it seems.

15:16.910 --> 15:19.380
Coward who claims to be the emperor...

15:19.380 --> 15:25.350
Feel the power of I, Bearga, who have 
been blessed by the true Emperor!

15:29.540 --> 15:30.430
What?

15:30.430 --> 15:31.490
What's this?

15:31.490 --> 15:35.470
Looks like the protection 
Naofumi-chan gave us vanished.

15:36.430 --> 15:37.760
That's...

15:37.760 --> 15:39.520
A Sakura Emperor's Stone!

15:39.520 --> 15:42.150
A weapon that weakens the 
power of Spirit Implements,

15:42.150 --> 15:45.350
and increases the power of 
one blessed by the emperor!

15:45.700 --> 15:48.730
It's the perfect weapon 
for stopping heroes...

15:49.020 --> 15:50.440
Here I go!

15:55.640 --> 15:57.280
Zweit Aura!

15:58.160 --> 16:00.170
It blocks hero magic, too?

16:00.170 --> 16:03.130
Kill the traitors!

16:04.910 --> 16:07.440
As source of thy power, I order thee!

16:07.440 --> 16:13.210
Decipher the laws of nature, 
and pierce my foes!

16:14.000 --> 16:16.510
All Drifa Chain Lightning!

16:19.560 --> 16:24.640
No matter what happens, 
I'll protect you two!

16:24.640 --> 16:27.430
And don't forget me!

16:33.590 --> 16:36.590
You're... the miko of slaughter!

16:36.590 --> 16:39.570
You would oppose us, 
despite your wickedness?

16:39.810 --> 16:43.240
Yes. Let's get the slaughter started!

16:44.990 --> 16:46.480
<i>What do we do?</i>

16:46.480 --> 16:47.950
Die!

16:47.950 --> 16:52.100
False Emperor and holder of 
the evil Spirit Implements!

16:52.100 --> 16:54.260
Drifa Aqua Slash!

16:54.260 --> 16:55.980
Drifa Rock Blast!

16:58.340 --> 16:59.740
Sadeena!

17:01.430 --> 17:03.810
That was pretty clever, Naofumi-chan!

17:07.570 --> 17:09.620
Not bad.

17:09.620 --> 17:11.280
But this is the end!

17:11.280 --> 17:16.000
We carry out this act on behalf 
of the emperor, the Pacifier.

17:16.000 --> 17:20.450
We turn our whole selves into blades, 
combining power of thy and I,

17:20.450 --> 17:23.800
and bringing a destiny of 
destruction to these fools.

17:23.800 --> 17:24.990
Don't tell me...

17:24.990 --> 17:27.800
Astral Enchant!

17:33.260 --> 17:34.470
What's this?

17:34.470 --> 17:37.550
Now, the battle is over!

17:39.290 --> 17:41.220
Is that all you've got?

17:43.320 --> 17:45.060
What is this power?

17:45.060 --> 17:47.310
Astral Enchant...

17:47.310 --> 17:50.540
A special weapon enchantment that 
allows those given a powerful blessing

17:50.540 --> 17:55.230
by the Emperor to gather the powers 
of others who've been blessed.

17:58.000 --> 17:59.830
They're sharing their life energy, too?

18:03.270 --> 18:05.180
Sadeena-neesan! Gaelion!

18:10.960 --> 18:14.500
Is this all the power 
the False Emperor has?!

18:15.210 --> 18:18.390
This is nothing!

18:18.390 --> 18:20.340
You're as good as dead!

18:20.890 --> 18:22.430
Use this!

18:24.610 --> 18:25.550
What?

18:26.520 --> 18:28.890
<b>Sakura Emperor's Stone Shield</b>

18:29.110 --> 18:31.530
Sakura Emperor's Stone Shield?!

18:31.530 --> 18:37.290
It'll boost your abilities a little, even 
inside the Sakura Emperor's Stone barrier.

18:37.290 --> 18:38.770
You're...

18:38.770 --> 18:41.410
Have you betrayed us?

18:41.410 --> 18:44.170
Why would you help the False Emperor?

18:44.420 --> 18:47.100
Betray you? Hah! No way!

18:47.100 --> 18:50.160
I'm always on the side with the hot chicks!

18:51.660 --> 18:55.120
I don't know what's going 
on, but I'll use it!

18:55.750 --> 18:57.090
<b>Apply Skill Points?</b>

18:58.050 --> 18:59.940
My power's back!

19:00.940 --> 19:01.920
With this...

19:01.920 --> 19:05.130
Give 'em hell, girlies!

19:05.130 --> 19:08.360
Fools, all of you!

19:08.360 --> 19:11.310
Sakura Sphere of Influence! Attack Support!

19:15.320 --> 19:16.310
Raphtalia!

19:16.310 --> 19:17.080
Right!

19:17.080 --> 19:20.020
Kagura Dance of Sakura: 
First Formation: Blossom!

19:23.330 --> 19:24.640
Gaelion-chan!

19:24.640 --> 19:26.530
Go touch the Sakura Lumina!

19:26.530 --> 19:28.360
I deserve better treatment!

19:33.760 --> 19:36.120
The power of the Sakura Emperor's Stone!

19:36.610 --> 19:38.380
The barrier's under my control!

19:38.380 --> 19:40.130
Okay! Now!

19:40.130 --> 19:42.320
In the sealed land of the heavenly emperor,

19:42.320 --> 19:46.060
feelings that wash away the old 
stagnant water like a clear stream

19:46.060 --> 19:48.750
become the power that saves the world.

19:49.260 --> 19:52.110
Dragon Vein, I ask you for a miracle!

19:52.800 --> 19:56.100
I, Gaelion, give my orders to 
the heavens and the earth.

19:56.100 --> 20:00.030
Sever the laws of reality, bind them 
together, and make them spit out the pus within.

20:00.490 --> 20:06.290
By my power, awaken the power to destroy 
the foolish disciples before me!

20:07.040 --> 20:09.740
Water Dragon Sakura Lumina Destroying Wave!

20:13.130 --> 20:16.370
Supreme Ultimate: Slash of Destiny!

20:17.060 --> 20:18.800
I'm not done yet!

20:18.800 --> 20:21.000
No. It's over.

20:28.900 --> 20:31.340
We did it!

20:46.230 --> 20:48.660
Master!

20:49.560 --> 20:51.200
Naofumi-sama!

20:51.200 --> 20:53.330
Looks like everyone's safe.

20:53.330 --> 20:55.480
We finally met up with everyone.

20:55.480 --> 20:56.330
Yeah.

20:59.320 --> 21:01.610
Master!

21:01.610 --> 21:04.050
Naofumi-sama, sorry for being late!

21:06.610 --> 21:07.890
S'yne-san?

21:07.890 --> 21:09.740
You teleported here?

21:09.740 --> 21:12.310
She says she couldn't bear to wait.

21:13.300 --> 21:14.550
I'm glad you're okay...

21:14.880 --> 21:18.520
I can't believe I let you hug him before me!

21:18.520 --> 21:20.630
Both of you, what are you doing?

21:20.630 --> 21:23.200
Hey, hey. Is this your harem?

21:23.200 --> 21:24.230
No.

21:25.080 --> 21:27.360
I'm glad you're safe.

21:27.360 --> 21:29.470
Wait, Master?!

21:31.640 --> 21:33.390
Elhart-chan!

21:33.390 --> 21:35.260
How've you been?

21:35.260 --> 21:37.710
Is he...

21:37.710 --> 21:38.950
Yeah.

21:38.950 --> 21:41.090
You must be tired from 
being stuck on the ship.

21:41.090 --> 21:43.050
Let's go have some tea.

21:43.050 --> 21:44.660
I refuse!

21:45.060 --> 21:48.450
He's even more of a ladies' 
man than we heard.

21:48.450 --> 21:51.810
I guess that's why he agreed 
to help us, though.

21:51.810 --> 21:55.430
Everyone's here, so let's 
have a victory party.

21:58.080 --> 22:00.540
Don't leave me!

22:00.540 --> 22:04.360
Hey! Miss!

23:36.330 --> 23:40.070
<b>Episode 8: Orochi</b>
