Did I put up a good fight?
Are you proud of me?
Yeah.
Good.
Aht?
Not yet.
I'm not satisfied yet.
Show me what a great fighter you will become.
I'll train you.
You're coming with me.
I'll give you a share of my life force.
So please...
Please, endure it. You must accept my blood.
The world mirrored in my eyes Is upside-down
I fall And my body Is completely upside-down
(Only the moon knows What lies on the flip side of glory)
A false sense of justice pervades
Revenge drives my life
(Deceit, facade, delusion Rabble of lowborns, false idols)
Do you remember that day? Do you remember me?
I've been waiting for this day to come
Do you remember that day? Do you remember me?
I'll never forgive you
Carve it in your heart I know I'm a sinner
Wielding my blade of resolve
I don't care how low I sink
I will embark to end This long journey of vengeance
EPISODE 10 GEGENANGRIFF (COUNTERATTACK)
This is great.
We're capturing the Free City!
Hold it! You there!
What is the meaning of this?
Lady Elsaria.
This is...
I don't want your excuses.
Cease this disgraceful act at once, and withdraw your troops!
I see. You must be the noble Elector's daughter.
Unfortunately, that is a request I cannot oblige.
This Free City is sheltering the Hero-Killing Rebel.
It had been preparing to revolt against not only the batterygrave,
but also the empire.
By the honorable Batterygrave Barestar's command,
we will swing down the hammer of justice!
What utter nonsense. Where is your proof?
We've no need for proof.
I don't have use for incompetent fools.
Do you understand?
We will overtake the Free City and execute its lord.
We'll then send a report of rebel activities to the capital.
The victor's words are the truth.
How abominable.
Why would one of the Seven Heroes appoint such a vile man as his magistrate?
Then, what will you do?
Will you four attempt to stop my mighty army?
This matter is for our territory to deal with.
Stand down and spectate from there.
I do not wish to slaughter Marquis Glenn's men.
Advance!
Capture the lord's mansion!
Dariste. We need a plan, now.
No. There's nothing we can do as things stand.
We cannot overlook such a blatant act of barbarism!
I said, give us a plan!
What is it, Aht? You've got a smile on your face.
Brother. Today I finally made Köinzell proud with my fighting.
I'm so happy. That's why I'm ready to...
Not yet.
I'm not satisfied yet, Aht.
Thank the heavens.
Köinzell?
It'll be a while before the moons emerge and give you powers.
I'd like some backup.
Rest a while longer, and when you're ready, come find me.
Okay. I'll follow you soon.
Mom, what's going on?
Why is a hero raiding us?
Weren't the Seven Heroes the good guys?
How terrible.
This way, Miss Altea.
We're almost at the lord's mansion.
It's safer than this part of town, and the Vigilante Corps are stationed there.
Let's hurry.
Out of my way, captain of the Vigilante Corps.
I won't stand by and watch as you recklessly toss your lives away
against that titanic army.
They're laying waste to our beloved city.
What? You'll just allow it?
Charge!
Shut your mouth, Algro.
Delzere, you...
I don't want to turn my blade against you, either.
But if you refuse to back down, then I'll...
Stop this at once!
I'm done waiting around.
Dariste, I know you've thought of a plan. Now, tell me.
You're being unreasonable, Elsaria. Not even Dariste can conjure a plan.
If there's one thing that can be done, it's to kill Batterygrave Barestar.
That will lead to a ceasefire.
You want to halt this army that bears the batterygrave's standard?
That's what it's going to take.
I became a knight of the Order of the Seven Spears
to serve our beloved emperor and his people,
and this vision filled me with pride.
But now, look at this suffering.
A hero is standing in the way of justice!
You've never seen for yourselves, have you?
You've never seen how the hero you're trying to protect fights.
What? What should I do?
We're almost at the lord's mansion.
This is underwhelming.
Foregoing resistance and keeping destruction to a minimum.
Yes, how drab indeed.
Notify all troops.
Many treacherous rebels are hiding in this city.
Mobilize all units to search the city.
Give them the authority to punish the rebels as they see fit.
What's the matter?
We are purging the city under the Seven Heroes' orders.
There's no need to hesitate.
Right.
Get over here.
Don't touch her! Get your hands off Mom!
You can't, Elsaria!
Let me go!
Stop! Please!
You're...
I'm the Hero-Killing Rebel.
So he's...
This kid, he's the Hero-Killing Rebel?
Get him!
Why hesitate?
Take the Hero-Killer's head and make a name for yourself!
He's just one man!
Too scared to try me?
You don't think twice about pillaging the townsfolk,
but won't lay a finger on the Hero-Killer.
The Seven Heroes' troops are brave indeed.
Off, off with your head!
Fire! Fire!
What are you doing?
You two! Get out of here.
Will do.
You're...
Miss Altea! Why are you in a place like this?
And what are you doing here with your swords unsheathed?
Back in that border town, I gave you the opportunity to live a new life.
And you're just going to throw it away?
I won't allow it!
I'm sorry, Miss Altea. Even if it costs me my life, I have to.
No!
I said, I won't let you. You have to live and fight.
Shit.
That brat is the Hero-Killing Rebel?
I'm not afraid. He's just one puny kid.
I've got this massive army behind me.
Commander Walge.
What do you want now?
The armed civilians and Vigilante Corps are joining forces
to fight the raiding, I mean, our men hunting down the rebels.
What?
Fire the ballista! Scatter them!
Don't fight to throw your lives away.
Fight to protect as many people as you can!
Miss Altea!
Please, you must evacuate the city.
Evacuate?
How could I save just myself when hell is reigning here?
Miss Altea.
Yes.
When I was in the smuggling business,
I didn't care whether people lived or died.
I separated myself from them.
But then, although it was to earn a living,
I helped the stowaways to build a peaceful life.
And I saw wicked men take that away from them.
After everything I've seen, how can I?
What a wonderful city this is
that a former stowaway could rise through the ranks
to become the captain of its Vigilante Corps.
Look.
Squadrons have lost their will to fight and are retreating.
How terrifying.
That kid single-handedly turned the tides of the battle.
He's so close.
One more push, and he can break the morale of the magistrate's military.
But he's tiring out.
What do you say, Elsaria?
Shall we join him in driving out the magistrate's military?
Join him?
Fight alongside him?
I will go and fend off the pillagers.
Time to get going, then.
To think we're joining forces with the Hero-Killer we've been hunting down.
We're not joining forces. This is what's necessary to protect the people.
Fine, fine.
At any rate, let's go.
Who the hell is it now?
There's another one from behind!
I'm glad you're up and running now.
Yes.
Can you cover me?
Leave it to me.
- We'll clean them up. - You got it!
Run for your lives!
Shit! More of his allies!
Do not insult us so. We aren't his allies.
We are, however, your enemy.
That girl...
I can see it. She truly is fighting for the hero she believes in.
I'm returning to the castle to request rear support from the batterygrave.
You stay here and reorganize the front line.
Under no circumstance are you to retreat.
Hey!
Wait!
Get away from me.
No!
It's over.
You dumbasses! Don't you dare retreat!
Shut up!
Idiot! You knaves! Don't run!
Hey!
Come back here!
Look! The magistrate's siege tower!
Shit. They're not here.
What is that beam of light?
That was a magic artillery.
Well, how did you like that?
The great and mighty batterygrave, Lord Barestar, has come
to punish you treacherous fiends with the hellish blast from the floating castle!
The batterygrave's floating castle?
Then, that lightning attack was...
This is foolish.
The esteemed title "batterygrave" is bestowed in honor
of the ten defensive batteries the emperor commissioned to be constructed in Lemda.
Not that wicked replica of Wischtechian magic artillery.
Why would the batterygrave,
who is given the honor and the responsibility over these batteries,
have such a castle?
So that's your prized fortress, Barestar.
What a nice surprise.
You saved me the trouble of finding you.
We're infiltrating it, aren't we?
Yeah.
Köinzell.
We've got company.
Reinforcements!
Walge. Round up the remaining squadrons. Time for a counterattack.
Right.
Look! Impudent Free City!
This is what happens
when you build Glenn's airship in my domain behind my back,
Fire! Reduce them to smithereens!
But, sir, the magistrate's military is below us.
What of them?
They're of no significance to me.
Everything in the batterygravate is mine for me to destroy or obtain as I please!
Stop! I'm still down here!
You. You said that floating castle belongs to the batterygrave, did you not?
You're going to tell us exactly what is going on.
You're not going anywhere.
Hey! You okay? Stay with me.
Damn it. Is this the end?
Time to cripple the flying dragon brigade.
Right.
There were nights when I cried
Holding my knees in my arms
Holding a fragment
A distant dream, dream, dream
Somebody said once That stardust is made
Of discarded dreams
But I don't know a single trash can
That shines so beautifully
No matter how many times I am reborn
I'll draw an endless map
In the same night sky
Like a constellation, like a masterpiece
Stella blurs, Stella scatters
The star is there Even when she disappears
Someday, I will catch her And hold on tight
I will become the hero of my dream
Someone once pointed out That the edge of a crescent moon
Is sharp as a knife
But I've never seen an edge So gentle and kind
Illuminating
Illuminating tomorrow
