WEBVTT

00:05.380 --> 00:07.710
What is she doing?

00:13.380 --> 00:14.870
Let's follow her!

00:14.870 --> 00:16.220
Okay!

00:23.520 --> 00:27.270
How foolish...

00:27.270 --> 00:29.980
For one who is to be a leader...

00:30.430 --> 00:34.190
No, this was just the vanguard.

00:34.190 --> 00:35.580
The vanguard?

00:36.060 --> 00:37.090
Naofumi-sama?!

00:38.340 --> 00:42.170
Don't worry. This is Makina.

00:42.510 --> 00:43.760
Makina?

00:44.060 --> 00:47.120
I've dealt with the pus 
infesting this country.

00:47.120 --> 00:51.720
Well, the original owner of this 
body tried to resist, though.

00:52.450 --> 00:54.240
You mean Shildina-san?

00:54.240 --> 00:55.660
Who are you?

00:56.880 --> 00:58.510
The past emperor...

00:58.510 --> 01:02.770
I should've known the wielder of 
the Spirit Implements would guess.

01:02.770 --> 01:04.220
You're clever.

01:04.590 --> 01:06.510
"Clever"? Listen...

01:06.510 --> 01:07.500
My...

01:07.930 --> 01:09.580
What's wrong, Raph-chan?

01:11.960 --> 01:13.150
Behind her?

01:13.930 --> 01:15.310
What's that?

01:18.300 --> 01:19.030
Hey!

01:23.120 --> 01:25.240
What happened to her?

01:25.240 --> 01:29.260
I killed your caster... I guess 
you're tough... yes, indeed.

01:29.260 --> 01:33.340
I can't believe you disobeyed 
the crest and killed me.

01:33.340 --> 01:35.640
I didn't think you had it in you.

01:36.050 --> 01:38.450
But this is perfect.

01:39.560 --> 01:41.350
I see something like a shadow..

01:41.350 --> 01:44.540
The spare body I prepared...

01:44.540 --> 01:46.500
I'm taking it back.

01:50.910 --> 01:54.150
Makina-sama, stop.

01:55.610 --> 01:57.660
S-Shildina-san?

01:57.660 --> 01:59.750
Is that Makina's ghost?

01:59.750 --> 02:01.440
It's not yours to take back, damn it!

02:01.800 --> 02:04.040
It never belonged to you!

02:04.040 --> 02:06.530
Naofumi-sama, I'll go.

02:07.050 --> 02:09.480
I have just the thing for ghosts.

02:11.590 --> 02:12.620
That's right!

02:13.010 --> 02:15.480
I think she's behind Shildina-san...

02:15.480 --> 02:17.360
Yeah, I'm sure of it!

02:27.020 --> 02:32.020
<b>The Rising of the Shield Hero</b>

02:36.320 --> 02:41.740
<b>Episode 12: Return of the Emperor</b>

02:38.170 --> 02:39.450
I can't cut it!

02:39.450 --> 02:40.320
Watch out!

02:40.580 --> 02:41.520
Where is she?

02:46.280 --> 02:47.560
Raphtalia!

02:46.280 --> 02:47.560
Raphtalia-chan!

02:52.460 --> 02:53.450
Raph-chan!

02:56.760 --> 02:57.880
Are you okay?

02:57.880 --> 03:00.380
That won't... work.

03:00.900 --> 03:02.970
Use the power of the Spirit Implement...

03:03.620 --> 03:07.800
If it's a weapon that hunts souls,
you can draw out more of its power, indeed.

03:09.940 --> 03:11.350
Draw out more of its power?

03:11.560 --> 03:12.970
Shut up! Shut up!

03:13.260 --> 03:16.350
Draw out the power of a 
weapon that hunts souls?

03:17.270 --> 03:18.530
<b>Will You Use Soul Eat?</b>

03:19.940 --> 03:21.820
<b>Soul Eater Shield</b>

03:20.230 --> 03:21.810
Soul Eat?

03:24.360 --> 03:26.170
Keep your mouth shut!

03:26.440 --> 03:28.280
Raphtalia, do you know what to do?

03:28.280 --> 03:29.300
Yes!

03:30.040 --> 03:32.410
<b>Will You Use Soul Eat?</b>

03:37.520 --> 03:38.760
I can see her!

03:44.880 --> 03:45.880
There she is.

03:46.440 --> 03:50.700
I, Sadeena, draw from the powers of Holy 
Water and wish for you to manifest.

03:50.700 --> 03:53.470
Dragon Vein! Bury my foes!

03:53.470 --> 03:55.260
Saint Aqua Blast!

04:05.480 --> 04:07.940
Damn you!

04:11.190 --> 04:14.490
Just go away already, damn it!

04:15.420 --> 04:17.770
You've done well, indeed.

04:21.020 --> 04:23.000
I'll make you pay!

04:23.000 --> 04:28.230
I'll make you regret getting in my way!

04:28.230 --> 04:32.670
There's no way left in this 
land for you to survive!

04:40.850 --> 04:42.560
W-Wow!

04:42.830 --> 04:45.760
I finally got her, yes indeed.

04:46.220 --> 04:47.350
Now then...

04:47.710 --> 04:52.780
If I just disappear, I don't know 
when I'll be able to come back next, indeed.

04:53.120 --> 04:54.670
So there's something else 
you're going to do?

04:54.670 --> 04:57.160
Bearer of the Spirit Implement...

04:57.160 --> 05:00.380
You have the card Shildina gave you, yes?

05:01.010 --> 05:02.590
You mean this?

05:03.140 --> 05:07.180
That's her heart, crystallized 
and separated from her body.

05:07.180 --> 05:08.600
Her heart?

05:08.600 --> 05:13.870
I'm shocked she could give it to someone 
she'd only just met, yes indeed.

05:13.870 --> 05:16.160
I can't understand it.

05:16.720 --> 05:17.830
No...

05:17.830 --> 05:20.700
She at least wanted to give her most 
important part to the first member

05:20.700 --> 05:22.860
of the opposite sex she liked, I guess.

05:24.140 --> 05:29.950
And so... emperor who obeys the Wielder of 
the Spirit Implement, take up your sword.

05:30.900 --> 05:35.570
If you agree to duel me, 
I'll release Shildina, indeed.

05:35.970 --> 05:37.080
And if we refuse?

05:37.510 --> 05:40.580
Then she's as good as dead, indeed.

05:40.580 --> 05:43.080
Not much different than Makina...

05:43.080 --> 05:45.410
Say what you will.

05:45.410 --> 05:48.930
This is her punishment for 
believing that horrid woman, indeed.

05:48.930 --> 05:52.050
Naofumi-sama, let me battle her.

05:52.050 --> 05:52.800
But...

05:52.800 --> 05:54.130
Please!

05:54.440 --> 05:57.220
This is my fault for not being 
able to release Shildina-san

05:57.220 --> 05:59.280
from her bonds when she was suffering...

05:59.820 --> 06:01.020
Naofumi-chan...

06:01.020 --> 06:05.190
And if I run here, there was no 
point in me becoming Emperor.

06:05.190 --> 06:06.060
Yes, indeed.

06:06.440 --> 06:11.520
If you would run, Emperor, then I would have 
no choice but to kill you here as Pacifier.

06:11.520 --> 06:13.130
Pacifier?

06:14.400 --> 06:17.620
Well, enough talk.

06:18.080 --> 06:21.890
Will you do it or not? 
That's all, yes indeed.

06:21.890 --> 06:23.000
Naofumi-sama...

06:24.180 --> 06:25.250
All right.

06:25.970 --> 06:28.570
Put that against my chest,

06:28.570 --> 06:32.470
and the hole in Shildina's heart will be 
filled, and the bonds will be broken, indeed.

06:35.160 --> 06:36.380
Naofumi-sama.

06:37.600 --> 06:38.770
It's up to you.

06:39.390 --> 06:40.290
All right.

06:41.410 --> 06:44.500
That weapon's wavelength is so odd, indeed...

06:44.500 --> 06:46.680
A servant of the Spirit Implement...

06:46.680 --> 06:50.770
No, a servant of a different world's 
Spirit Implement, yes indeed.

06:51.580 --> 06:55.530
Now, let the battle begin.

06:58.450 --> 06:59.470
Here I go.

07:06.080 --> 07:07.500
I'll give you a handicap, indeed.

07:07.500 --> 07:09.870
Bearer of the Shield Spirit Implement.

07:09.870 --> 07:13.550
You can cast all the support 
magic you have on her, indeed.

07:13.920 --> 07:15.450
A handicap? Yeah, right!

07:15.450 --> 07:16.370
Sadeena!

07:16.370 --> 07:17.320
Got it.

07:17.700 --> 07:23.240
Decipher the laws of nature, and grant me 
the power to overcome the obstacles before me!

07:23.740 --> 07:25.590
Descent of the Thunder God!

07:29.370 --> 07:30.980
Do you need any support magic?

07:31.330 --> 07:33.200
I'll be fine, indeed.

07:39.590 --> 07:41.460
A barrier of Sakura Emperor's Stone?

07:41.460 --> 07:44.950
I'll make one of our own to neutralize it!

07:44.950 --> 07:46.950
No need for that, yes indeed.

07:47.470 --> 07:51.680
I've set it to allow a certain 
degree of magic through.

07:51.680 --> 07:53.550
I don't believe you!

07:53.550 --> 07:54.420
Raphtalia!

07:55.210 --> 07:57.240
Do as you like, indeed.

07:57.240 --> 08:03.690
Either way, that emperor can't 
neutralize the barrier I've created.

08:04.910 --> 08:06.730
I'm sure.

08:06.730 --> 08:10.890
But I don't like this... It's 
like you're toying with us.

08:18.860 --> 08:20.420
Take this, yes indeed!

08:32.190 --> 08:33.590
Raphtalia-chan!

08:33.590 --> 08:34.990
Meteor Shield!

08:39.070 --> 08:41.470
That was an illusion?

08:41.790 --> 08:45.860
Well done. That illusion deceives 
the senses themselves, indeed.

08:45.860 --> 08:47.670
Brilliant.

08:48.930 --> 08:50.730
Stardust Blade!

08:52.680 --> 08:53.810
There!

08:53.810 --> 08:55.970
Brave Blade: Mist!

08:57.380 --> 08:58.740
It'll take more than that, yes indeed!

09:06.580 --> 09:08.330
Your defenses are strong.

09:08.330 --> 09:10.390
You know a few tricks.

09:10.390 --> 09:12.410
But this generation's Emperor...

09:12.730 --> 09:16.730
Still lacks knowledge of
and skill in illusions, indeed.

09:17.490 --> 09:18.750
Hide Mirage!

09:21.230 --> 09:24.570
If you want a clash of weapons, I'll oblige!

09:26.680 --> 09:28.390
Great Quake, indeed!

09:31.420 --> 09:33.100
What power!

09:42.130 --> 09:43.700
Sasameyuki!

09:43.700 --> 09:47.130
Oh, you saw through me, indeed.

09:51.320 --> 09:54.040
This is a difficult skill to deal with.

09:54.040 --> 09:58.270
Now, I'm warmed up, yes indeed.

09:58.740 --> 10:01.980
Time for me to fight you for real.

10:02.450 --> 10:04.510
Five Elements Emperor Splitter!

10:06.480 --> 10:09.890
Kagura Dance of Sakura: 
First Formation: Blossom!

10:10.480 --> 10:11.790
Fire conquers metal!

10:17.470 --> 10:20.850
I've made your weapon 
temporarily unusable, indeed.

10:23.830 --> 10:25.360
That skill...

10:25.360 --> 10:29.290
You can imitate the Emperor's 
techniques, I guess.

10:29.590 --> 10:34.540
But if you want to be able to use them 
for real, you'll have to get better...

10:34.540 --> 10:36.290
or they'll be deflected, indeed.

10:36.940 --> 10:40.440
Applied Hengen Muso, Moon Wave!

10:45.020 --> 10:46.970
Hengen Muso?

10:47.570 --> 10:51.360
I'm surprised you've learned the 
style of that distant land, indeed.

10:51.360 --> 10:52.730
No...

10:52.730 --> 10:55.280
The idea is worthy of praise.

10:55.830 --> 10:58.630
Now, my turn, indeed!

11:07.350 --> 11:09.200
Is it over?

11:09.200 --> 11:12.120
I'm disappointed.

11:12.120 --> 11:15.670
It seems the true bloodline of the Emperors
had ended with this generation, indeed.

11:26.310 --> 11:27.880
Five Elements Emperor Splitter!

11:28.140 --> 11:30.000
Five Elements Emperor Stabber!

11:33.580 --> 11:34.780
Fire conquers metal!

11:34.780 --> 11:36.060
Metal endures the fire!

11:37.180 --> 11:40.660
Your instincts taught you 
the emperor's power?

11:40.660 --> 11:42.360
Now, let's try this!

11:42.360 --> 11:43.930
Water conquers fire!

11:43.930 --> 11:45.810
Fire... aah!

11:47.740 --> 11:48.900
The transformation!

11:49.470 --> 11:50.530
I'm not done yet!

11:50.840 --> 11:52.040
Wood gives birth to fire!

11:52.040 --> 11:55.300
Yes. Unrefined, but excellent.

11:55.640 --> 11:57.920
I'll show you all I've got, then!

12:00.060 --> 12:02.890
This is an emperor's skill, yes indeed!

12:03.220 --> 12:08.490
I can't bring out my power 
as strong or as fast as you.

12:08.490 --> 12:11.690
So I'll do what I can as best I can...

12:13.370 --> 12:14.480
Here I go!

12:15.740 --> 12:17.610
Kagura Dance of Sakura: Second Formation!

12:19.540 --> 12:21.410
Ying-Yang Eight Extreme Formations!

12:21.410 --> 12:23.250
One-Part Blooming!

12:21.410 --> 12:23.250
Emperor Splitter!

12:23.740 --> 12:25.700
Five Elements Emperor Stabber!

12:25.700 --> 12:27.450
Five Elements Emperor Splitter!

12:35.380 --> 12:36.350
Spring Sakura Tree!

12:36.350 --> 12:37.890
Kagura Dance of Sakura: Third Formation!

12:37.890 --> 12:38.830
Three-Part Blooming!

12:38.830 --> 12:40.290
So beautiful...

12:40.800 --> 12:46.660
<i>I think I finally understand 
why Raphtalia's magical talent</i>

12:46.660 --> 12:48.930
<i>is light and darkness.</i>

12:49.450 --> 12:53.930
<i>It's not just to bend the 
light or hide in the dark.</i>

12:54.900 --> 12:56.040
Wood conquers earth!

12:56.040 --> 12:57.090
Earth conquers water!

12:57.090 --> 12:58.280
Water conquers fire!

12:58.280 --> 12:59.310
Fire conquers metal!

12:59.310 --> 13:00.700
Metal conquers wood!

13:00.920 --> 13:02.510
Kagura Dance of Sakura: Fourth Formation!

13:02.510 --> 13:03.370
Five-Part Blooming!

13:03.370 --> 13:04.420
Six-Part Blooming!

13:05.630 --> 13:09.510
<i>Just like Ying and Yang, her talent 
contains both light and dark within it,</i>

13:09.510 --> 13:12.630
<i>making her a master of contrasting elements.</i>

13:13.030 --> 13:15.800
You've done well to keep up so far, indeed.

13:15.800 --> 13:21.640
Those powerful chain skills grow more 
powerful with each strike, I'm sure.

13:21.640 --> 13:25.790
But they're burning through your 
power in a very short time, indeed.

13:25.790 --> 13:27.840
I know that.

13:27.840 --> 13:29.960
But I won't back down.

13:30.560 --> 13:32.740
Then I'll use my ultimate technique, too!

13:35.800 --> 13:38.110
Emperor Five Elements Full Conquest!

13:52.860 --> 13:53.950
I did it!

13:54.330 --> 13:58.620
I'll resist the Yang power with 
my Ying and cancel it out!

13:58.620 --> 14:00.630
It will be over in an instant...

14:01.030 --> 14:04.080
Now, if you don't want to die,
then come with me!

14:05.550 --> 14:08.060
Emperor Five Elements Full Birth!

14:12.500 --> 14:14.140
Hazy Moon!

14:14.140 --> 14:17.520
Just a little more... even for an instant...

14:19.110 --> 14:20.460
Not yet, yes indeed!

14:22.110 --> 14:23.810
In that one instant...

14:24.570 --> 14:25.820
Illusion Sword!

14:29.280 --> 14:32.000
This is the end.

14:33.290 --> 14:35.770
Well, you did all right.

14:39.060 --> 14:41.980
There's a lot you lack.

14:41.980 --> 14:44.250
But I'll admit you have spirit, indeed.

14:44.970 --> 14:49.520
Perhaps I can entrust things 
to you... yes, indeed.

14:51.640 --> 14:54.670
You were never using your 
full strength, were you?

14:54.670 --> 14:55.890
That's not true.

14:56.230 --> 15:01.360
I used the most power
I could with this body, indeed.

15:01.360 --> 15:06.560
If you can't surpass me,
you're not worthy of being the Pacifier.

15:06.560 --> 15:11.310
Especially if you're working with 
a wielder of a Spirit Implement, indeed.

15:11.310 --> 15:12.950
Pacifier...

15:13.600 --> 15:16.230
The one whose job it is to stop the heroes?

15:16.710 --> 15:23.950
Otherwise, you won't be able to punish 
the fools when they appear, indeed.

15:24.680 --> 15:31.710
I pray you remain humble, and work to keep 
the Q'ten Lo Imperial Bloodline strong.

15:32.920 --> 15:39.250
My nation suffered great harm, but I was 
able to see something interesting in the end.

15:40.750 --> 15:44.090
Make sure you work hard,
and don't let them beat you, indeed.

15:46.010 --> 15:50.120
Now, it's time for the ghosts 
of the past to fade away, indeed.

16:04.010 --> 16:05.210
Naofumi-sama!

16:05.710 --> 16:07.790
She needs advanced healing.

16:08.210 --> 16:09.110
Filo!

16:09.110 --> 16:11.130
Get her to the Revolutionary Army!

16:11.130 --> 16:12.620
Okay!

16:13.060 --> 16:15.330
Now, all that's left...

16:22.520 --> 16:24.480
Search for our hated foe, Makina!

16:24.480 --> 16:26.560
Capture the Emperor, Ruftmila!

16:29.570 --> 16:30.440
Look!

16:30.750 --> 16:32.320
Raphtalia-sama!

16:32.960 --> 16:35.260
And the Shield Hero is with her!

16:36.520 --> 16:38.630
W-We've won...

16:38.630 --> 16:40.860
We've won!

16:55.320 --> 16:57.050
You're awake.

16:57.540 --> 17:00.150
Naofumi-chan?

17:00.150 --> 17:01.680
How do you feel?

17:08.440 --> 17:10.540
You shouldn't try to move just yet.

17:10.540 --> 17:14.110
That's right. You've been out for two days.

17:14.470 --> 17:16.010
Two days?

17:17.540 --> 17:19.360
What happened after that?

17:20.550 --> 17:23.290
I don't know how much you remember.

17:23.290 --> 17:27.760
Makina was killed by the past Emperor 
that you summoned with your oracle.

17:28.940 --> 17:32.450
So I was right...

17:32.940 --> 17:36.310
Then the Emperor... Ruftmila-sama?

17:36.750 --> 17:40.270
After the past Emperor and Raphtalia fought,

17:40.270 --> 17:42.820
we went up to his room in the castle…

17:46.600 --> 17:50.240
But he'd been abandoned by 
Makina and his other men.

17:50.240 --> 17:52.570
He was shivering alone in his room.

17:53.580 --> 17:55.900
When we told him Makina was dead,

17:56.300 --> 18:00.340
he began to act like a real emperor,
and offered us his life.

18:00.780 --> 18:05.610
But that would go against the promise 
that Raphtalia made with you.

18:06.010 --> 18:10.170
She took the title of Emperor 
from him without killing him.

18:10.730 --> 18:17.200
Of course, we gave him quite a 
talking-to about his stupid laws.

18:18.160 --> 18:21.240
And we told the Revolutionary Army

18:21.240 --> 18:25.180
that the young emperor was killed 
and devoured by a Filolial.

18:25.810 --> 18:27.620
Good...

18:27.620 --> 18:30.260
But I won't see him anymore, will I?

18:30.260 --> 18:32.460
I don't know about that.

18:38.210 --> 18:39.650
Shildina!

18:39.650 --> 18:40.850
Ruft!

18:40.850 --> 18:42.400
I mean, Your Majesty!

18:42.750 --> 18:45.790
Shildina, I'm not the Emperor anymore.

18:46.220 --> 18:47.810
She is.

18:49.510 --> 18:50.900
Thank you...

18:54.260 --> 18:55.710
Shildina?

18:56.640 --> 19:02.330
And so the former Emperor, Ruftmila, 
would hide himself in Lurolona Village.

19:02.330 --> 19:06.360
And Shildina and Sadeena finished 
things with their family,

19:06.360 --> 19:09.350
and became servants of the 
new Emperor, Raphtalia.

19:14.170 --> 19:16.850
The post-war cleanup is wrapping up.

19:16.850 --> 19:20.600
Let's leave the rest to them 
and return to the village.

19:21.090 --> 19:25.080
I'm sure you'll have to come back once 
in a while to be Emperor, though.

19:25.410 --> 19:27.560
I've chosen this path.

19:27.560 --> 19:29.570
I'll make sure it's successful.

19:30.380 --> 19:33.780
Being your blade, Naofumi-sama, 
and being the Emperor.

19:34.590 --> 19:35.710
Okay.

19:36.130 --> 19:39.980
What about you, Naofumi-sama? 
What will you do about Siltvelt?

19:39.980 --> 19:41.600
Oh yeah.

19:41.600 --> 19:47.590
After what I said, I need to stop on the way 
back and give them a parade or something.

19:48.160 --> 19:51.550
And then it's time to battle the Phoenix.

19:51.550 --> 19:54.730
And when it's defeated,
another Guardian Beast awaits.

19:55.150 --> 19:58.550
And when that's done, the Waves will return.

19:58.550 --> 20:00.780
We'll be busy, won't we?

20:00.780 --> 20:02.150
Yeah.

20:05.710 --> 20:10.480
Do you think this is what my 
mother and father wanted to see?

20:10.980 --> 20:12.260
Yeah.

20:12.260 --> 20:13.390
I'm sure it was.

20:22.720 --> 20:24.960
W-Wait, Spear Hero...

20:24.960 --> 20:27.260
No, Motoyasu-sama!

20:27.890 --> 20:29.220
Oink?

20:32.720 --> 20:35.860
I have not the slightest 
idea what you're saying!

20:35.860 --> 20:37.230
Air Strike Javelin!

20:46.730 --> 20:52.000
You, pig, were probably a threat to my 
father-in-law! But now you're dead!

20:52.370 --> 20:54.640
Let's go, everyone!

20:56.960 --> 21:00.830
Oh, I forgot to destroy her soul.

21:00.830 --> 21:03.760
Well, I can just do it next time!

21:34.120 --> 21:42.590
