Accused.
This spell,
as you well know,
is a compelling curse, performed by the power
of an ancient evil spirit.
In this case,
if you fail to defeat Dark Schneider,
or try to go over to the enemy's side,
this blue nail will change to purple, then to red.
And then--
I know.
Just do it.
As you wish.
Hold out your right index finger.
Dread king of splatter rock
come forth on the wings of a bat!
Reside in my touch and bind this pact!
Accused.
The ritual is complete.
Do not forget your task.
Then again, you'll remember it whenever you see that blue nail.
I'm going to kill both Dark Schneider and Gara.
Nail or no nail, it doesn't matter.
That's good.
You're so pretty,
it would be a shame to turn you into a toad.
Are we done?
I'm heading out.
Isn't this too much, Abigail?
GODDESS OF THUNDER
Do you really think Nei would betray us?
That half-elf loves Dark Schneider
as a father, if not more.
She has also lived with him for over 100 years.
She is closer to him than any of us.
Kall-Su,
what do you make of Dark Schneider's actions?
I don't know.
The Dark Schneider I know
would kill all his enemies,
and show no mercy to his servants if they failed.
A real demon.
But for some reason,
rather than kill Gara and the Sorcerer Generals,
he has turned them into his allies.
Yes.
In the past 15 years,
he seems to have changed completely.
He was my friend
and respected master.
What changed you so much in 15 years?
One thing is for certain, Kall-Su.
Right now, Dark Schneider
is the greatest threat to our glorious plan.
Dark Schneider.
He is dangerous.
We must kill him, no matter what.
The god of destruction, Anthrasax,
will bring about our ideal society.
A kingdom ruled by magic,
where there is no war, discrimination, or poverty.
The Sorcer Kingdom!
Look, Kall-Su.
The first stage of Anthrasax's resurrection
is almost finished.
We must break the second, third, and fourth seals
as soon as possible.
You're right.
My first division, the main force of the Rebel Army,
and your second division must be deployed.
While Nei keeps Dark Schneider occupied,
we'll seize the seals from the other two kingdoms.
Still, Dark Schneider against Arshes Nei.
It's an interesting match-up,
but either outcome will benefit us.
You know this, Kall-Su,
and so does Nei, who is under the spell.
Breaking the Accused spell requires a special catalyst.
That is,
the beating heart of the subject of the curse.
In other words,
in order to break this curse,
Arshes Nei must tear the beating heart
from Dark Schneider's chest.
Even if Nei betrays us,
the curse will take care of her.
And if Dark Schneider wants to save her,
he has no choice but to die.
When those two, with their identical magic powers,
clash head-on…
One of them, or maybe even both of them,
will be wiped out without a trace!
Either way, the result will benefit us.
You're making a risky gamble…
Arshes Nei.
Yoko!
The carriage is ready!
Thanks! Hang on a minute!
Dark Schneider…
Cheer up, virgin.
Don't look so glum.
You're prettier when you smile.
The Temple of Cant
is just a half-day trip from here.
But it's close to war-torn Meta-llicana.
Watch yourself.
Take care, Sean Ari.
With the Temple's treatment,
Kai will be okay in no time.
Cheer up!
Thank you,
Tia Noto Yoko.
You beat Di-amon like he was nothing.
I won't warn you,
but you should know that
Nei, the Empress of Thunder,
has magic power that closely resembles yours.
Keep that in mind.
Yeah.
I got it.
You should go now.
Dark Schneider…
take care of Empress Nei.
To be honest,
I always knew
that he could never love me.
I know because he never
called me by name.
You can't be that cold!
It's too cruel!
She's a lovely person.
But
don't forget about me.
Dark Schneider…
I love you.
There she goes.
She was really beautiful.
You think so?
Lucien,
no, Dark Schneider,
I'll give you a friendly warning.
Unfaithful men who make women cry are scum!
They can't be comic book heroes!
What?
Are you mad, Yoko?
Were you jealous?
Okay, let's go!
To Meta-llicana!
Look at that!
That's Gara's Wyvern!
Take this!
Follow Master Gara!
-Yeah! -Let's go!
Not even a million goblins can stop me!
What?
A lightning spell?
That's a Griffin!
Not her!
You're finally here.
Arshes Nei!
Gara. I have only one question.
Why did you betray the Four Divine Kings?
Do you need to ask?
Because Dark Schneider's plans
sound a lot more fun!
You bastard!
You're dead!
You hold the title of Ninja Master,
yet you've joined forces with the Rebel Army's greatest enemy,
Dark Schneider, falling for his tricks.
And now you've become his lackey!
You sound just like Kall-Su!
If we're being honest,
you would join Dark Schneider in a heartbeat.
Right, Arshes Nei?
Be quiet!
Lightning Sword!
Wait, that sword…
Murasame Blade!
You did well to deflect a strike from the Raijinken.
The Murasame Blade is strong, indeed.
Damn,
that's a cool sword you've got.
I've never seen it before.
Look!
That sword is wrapped in lightning!
Is that
the legendary magic sword?
The Raijinken?
It's right up there with the Fire Sword.
Depending on the wielder's strength,
it can even cut through a mountain!
The legendary Raijinken.
I had no idea it really existed.
Any sword other than the Murasame would have been cut in half.
For a sword that can cut mountains, that was pretty weak.
Don't be so sure.
I'm just getting started!
Kunai?
Not good enough!
Then how about this?
Got you!
What?
You're mine!
Here it comes!
Gara's special move!
Majinken!
Yeah! He split her in half!
The Griffin and the Wyvern were part of his plan.
Way to go, Master Gara!
That was too easy.
But I got her.
What?
Illusion?
That's enough!
I'll end you with my Secret Hariken Sword Style!
Take this!
Dragon Blast Demon Slash!
Master Gara!
-Master Gara! -Master Gara!
She cut the bridge with her sword?
I can't believe it. Is this a dream?
Oh, Master Gara!
Incredible!
Such awesome power!
As long as I have the Raijinken,
the Empress of Thunder, Arshes Nei, is invincible!
Dark Schneider won't stand a chance against me.
Amazing!
The Raijinken
resonated with your magic, doubling its power!
What?
Master Gara is alive!
That's not all!
There are so many of him!
Who is the real one?
What is this?
Ninja Art: Seven Body Split!
The one you cut down
was one of my clones!
Didn't you notice?
Time for a quiz!
My real body
is hidden among the seven.
Which one could it be?
What kind of weird trick is that?
You were practically Dark Schneider's lover back in the day.
I figured you'd want to join him again.
But you're not acting like yourself.
Looks like you really want to fight.
I'm ready.
-Master Gara? -He took off his armor?
I see.
You've realized armor is meaningless before my blade.
No matter, my next strike
will send you to hell.
The Divine Kings' finest warrior,
Arshes Nei.
Let me answer with my secret technique.
Can you withstand the blade of a ninja?
What is that stance?
-Is that… -That stance…
It's his ultimate technique!
Let's go, Murasame!
True Majinken!
What's that?
A sonic boom!
The tip of Master Gara's sword moved faster than sound!
The True Majinken Dark Schneider parried
was done one-handed.
But this one is perfect!
What's more,
thanks to the seven clones, it's a wide-range attack!
Anyone hit by this has no chance of surviving!
The Empress is done for!
He apparently split himself into seven.
But he is only moving faster than the eye can see
to create afterimages.
Only one of them is real.
He may be a ninja master,
but he can't launch six True Majinken at once.
There is only one True Majinken! I see it!
There!
I saw through your True Majinken.
Master Gara's True Majinken…
Unbelievable.
That was a supersonic attack from point-blank range.
Six clones attacked at once,
and yet she saw through it!
It's over, Gara.
Time to die…
What the hell?
The Raijinken cracked!
Hey, look!
The Empress's Raijinken is broken!
My Raijinken broke?
The True Majinken
is a fearsome power.
Yeah, take that!
Looks like I win, Nei.
You can't fight without a sword.
Don't worry.
You mean a lot to Dark Schneider.
I won't kill you.
He did it!
Master Gara and the ninja army of 2,000
defeated 20,000 Rebel Army troops!
How could Empress Nei lose to Gara?
I don't believe it!
He did it! He's done it, Princess Sheila!
Ninja Master Gara defeated the enemy!
I'm so glad.
Now Meta-llicana is saved.
Right, Great Priest?
Yes.
The second seal holding the god of destruction is safe.
Thank you, Gara.
I still don't understand.
What made that man switch sides?
What do you think, Geo?
Well…
It's obvious.
They must have had a falling-out.
I'm sure he's just in it for the money.
He's a real lowlife.
Could it be
thanks to him?
Gara, you bastard.
Even though you possess all that power,
you've become the kingdom's lapdog, just like Dark Schneider.
You're standing in the way of our ideal society.
Pathetic traitor!
Arshes Nei.
Let me be blunt.
Kall-Su's so-called ideal society means nothing to me.
The way I see it,
having fun is all that matters!
Damn you! Bullets of light!
What? Is Nei still trying to fight?
No way!
Look at that!
Magic missiles?
Anthem!
Give up, Nei!
You can't beat me like this!
Here I come, Gara!
I told you to give up!
What can you do with a broken sword?
You'll die!
What is that?
Oh, no!
The Raijinken does not cut by steel alone.
This is the secret behind its mountain-cutting power!
Secret Haouken Thunder Claw Strike!
What?
-Master Gara! -Master Gara!
Impossible…
The lightning blade passed through Murasame.
Do you see now?
The lightning emanating from the sword
is the blade that can cut through mountains.
Blocking it with an ordinary sword is impossible.
Just wait.
I'll end your suffering.
Well, this really sucks.
-Master Gara! -Master Gara!
After you, it's his turn.
Can you do it?
You're--
I can!
To make the ideal society a reality.
For the Sorcer Kingdom!
Save us.
Please!
Die, Gara!
Dark Schneider!
What was that?
Damn, that was close!
I almost got fried!
Great Priest!
Look at that statue!
Is that…
Could it be…
Dark Schneider!
