Original subtitles

I'm going to protect you until the end.

What do you mean, until the end?!

Goodness, you really have outdone yourselves this time.

What do you want, Haruna?

Reckless use of a Daughter, unauthorized battle, and mass destruction.

Tomoharu Natsume, and members of the Rakurowa Science Club,

you are all under arrest.

I stand at a crossroads

Struggling in agony

Is the chosen path strewn with thorns the right path?

Or the wrong one?

Tell me, please

Jsura Cryin' 2

Every time someone is forced into a cruel choice

Their escape route is cut off

The only opposite for "weakness" I can think of is "attacking"

I must stand tall to get through this

Dive, I don't want to lose anything

Before I knew it, I had grown used to the sour stench of this

Field, this abandoned battlefield

I've been kissed by a dilemma of two choices

Sign, when the day comes

Give me a sign, I won't run away

Moment of Destruction, Darkness of Annihilation

I don't understand!

Do something, Tomoharu!

You'd be better off complaining to the GD.

Kanade, how are you feeling?

Oh, I'm feeling okay.

Seems the medicine is doing its job.

In any case, no more reckless fighting for you, young lady.

That's our only method of stopping the voidance.

Ugh, how many times do we have to tell you?!

We didn't do anything, and we don't know anything, either!

That's right! We're the victims here, really!

You can say that, but what happened, happened.

Come on!

We were attacked by Hiwako Torishima and some lady wearing a weird mask!

I heard about it and went to help them, that's all!

This isn't going anywhere.

All right, shall we call in the next prisoner?

Sir!

Sheesh!

Why won't they believe us?

You're wrecking our credibility!

Now then, tell me what happened.

I don't care.

The situation is far more serious than you think it is.

That masked woman will come to attack us again!

What is it?

Th-th-th...

There she is!

Behind, behind, behind!

That won't work on me.

Aenka!

If you cut through any of those fuses, they'll explode,

and you'll go right along with them.

This way, c'mon!

No way!

President Rikka!

She got her...

That masked lady took Ania Fortuna!

Shuri, where are you going?!

As I think you're all aware,

the powers of an Asura Machina don't work on that masked woman.

That means there's only one person who can help us.

That's right!

President Toru!

She could probably help us take care of her!

That's right.

She should be in the Student Council Room at this time.

There she is!

President Toru!

No...

President Toru!

Do you think President Toru's okay?

I heard she was taken to the hospital, but from the sound of it, things weren't looking good.

No way...

It's almost like our enemy knew we were going to ask President Toru for help.

Yeah, they anticipated our every move.

In any case, all we can do now is wait for them to reach out to us.

You mean they're going to contact us?

Probably.

If they wanted to kill us, it would have been easy.

But they didn't kill us.

There must be more to it.

More...

There you go.

Let's exchange hostages. Ania Fortuna and your president for Tomoharu Natsume. Meet at the Meioutei ruins.

Shur...

Tonight at midnight, at Meioutei ruins.

Tomoharu,

they want to trade Ania and President Kagayaki for you.

They got the prez, too?!

I don't know what they're planning, but it seems like it.

I can't believe it...

Sounds like you're all in a bit of trouble.

Why are you here?!

Figured this is where I come in.

I've actually been given express permission from the GD to eliminate Hiwako Torishima.

Eliminate?!

Yes, I'll take care of her.

Right, but...

We still have to go.

Well said, Tomo!

Oh, then I'll go with you!

No, you're going to be a good girl and stay here.

Yeah!

It's almost time.

Nobody's coming.

No, they're probably watching us from somewhere,

like when we were back at the school.

Nia!

Prez!

Are you okay?!

Why is this happening?

Right then, let's avoid any unnecessary conflict and have you walk over here, Mister Natsume.

I'll return Ania to you when you are on your way.

Then, when you are all the way over here, I will hand over President Kagayaki.

Okay.

Tell us something first!

What do you want with Tomo?

I don't believe you would understand my answer to that question.

Come, Mister Natsume, over here.

Sorry, but the trade's off.

Shirogane, unsheathe!

Nia, this way!

Come forth, Kurogane!

How very cunning of you.

Takatsuki!

I will protect you!

To the very end!

You're going to fight me in that condition?

I won't let you hurt Natsume!

You are a fool, Kanade Takatsuki.

Very well, I will destroy you swiftly!

Ice Phoenix!

Blazing Moon!

Takatsuki, don't! Stop!

Out of the way, Daughter!

This is it for you, ex-Handler!

Toru?!

President Toru, you're okay?

No, it can't be...

Quite the deception, don't you think?

Why, Toru? Why would you do this?

Why?!

Yukari...

Sister!

Goodbye.

Shuri!

Big sis!

Shuri! Snap out of it, Shuri!

What the hell...

Why is this happening?!

Right then, it's time for you to die, Kanade Takatsuki.

Takatsuki!

St-stop!

If you want me, then take me!

Just stop it already!

You have it all wrong, Mister Natsume.

This is what we wanted all along.

We wanted to create a situation where you were in grave danger and despair.

What?

There you are, Naotaka Natsume.

So you were the one derailing history,

Toru Kitsutaka.

I would have never expected you to go this far to interrupt my plans.

By plans, you mean the destruction of the Central Vortex?

That's right, isn't it?

The destruction of the superstring gravitic reactor that allows travel between worlds?

Why are you asking me that?

I just want to get our facts straight before you die.

You're wasting your time, Toru Kitsutaka.

He can completely control spacetime.

He simultaneously used Kurogane's gravity control and Shirogane's space-slicing abilities.

He's using both Kurogane and Shirogane?!

Hagane is the ultimate Asura Machina, and the last to be created.

Not even you can defeat it.

I'm putting an end to you, Toru Kitsutaka.

I can't have you ruining my plans any longer.

Impossible!

Prez?

Mr. Koala?

Prez, what are you...

Takatsuki?!

How dare you...

Takatsuki!

All that's left is to take care of his spare.

Tomoharu, take Kanade and Nia and get out of here!

Now!

But what about you, Shuri?

Tomoharu, you're no spare.

Sorr-

Shuri!

Ready?

That's enough, Hiwako.

We don't need any more victims.

We've done what we came here for.

Our wish will be granted.

My apologies, Master.

"Master"?

What does that mean, Prez?!

Do you know what this is?

That case!

Yes, the legacy of Kuremizaki.

Kagakagari attempted to take it without even knowing its function.

In a way, it's a device that would have granted his wishes.

This is the altar case for Naotaka Natsume's Asura Machina, Hagane.

I wonder if you knew this fact?

A Handler is a human who has been injected with nanomachines

that allow them to control an Asura Machina.

And when a Handler like you loses their Burial Doll,

their nanomachines transform, creating a jamming signal that prevents magic from working.

That is the science behind an ex-Handler's ability to nullify magic spells.

Why are you telling me all this?!

What I'm trying to tell you is that an ex-Handler has the ability to become a Burial Doll.

Sadly, the Burial Doll you loved so much has vanished.

But if you were to open that altar case...

No!

Don't do it, President Toru!

Kurogane, stop President Toru!

Come forth, Charlize.

Misao!

An Asura Cryin'!

Is this what you were after, this whole time?!

Yes, that's right.

That's why I kept pursuing you, to get Naotaka Natsume to show himself.

Thank you.

Without you, my wish would have never been granted.

With the powers of Hagane and an Asura Cryin',

and the plugin you were researching,

I can jump to the past and create a Third World.

When did you get the Igniter?!

I took it from the mansion before it was blown up.

A Third World?

What do you mean by "a Third World"?

A world where Aki is still alive.

In this world, I lost my beloved queen.

I know I'm losing the game, so my only choice is to flip the chessboard and start again.

Wait! What's going to happen to this world?!

What about everyone left behind, and Shuri and the others?!

Well...

I'm sorry, but I have no interest or care for them.

But I should thank you for your help.

I'd be willing to take you with me.

Will you come with me, Tomoharu Natsume?

No.

I'm going to stop you from getting what you want!

Go, Kurogane!

Why are you so angry with me?

I was going to take you with me.

Shut up!

Good grief...

Deeper than darkness, standing out further than the light...

The steel blade forged by the hammer of science...

I'm counting on you, Hagane. The steel blade forged by the hammer of science...

My dream is so close to coming true.

Go, Kurogane!

Misao!

Go, take care of them.

Master?

Hagane's incredible magic power is warping the space around it!

What?

I'm taking this back!

Nia!

It's okay.

I'm with you, Tomo.

Make up your mind

Make or breaking

Yes, I've only just learned of despair

Will your soul be eroded and worn away, leaving you mumbling?

Will you abandon me in a corner of your memories?

You move towards a different garden of flowers

The displeased baby's breath smiles oppressively

Make up your mind

Make or breaking

The noise is a far-off delight

The words I accidentally swallowed

Light, dark, shadow, a fated labyrinth

Say my faith isn't based on facts, say I'm needed

A sorrow too abrupt

(Is this love? Only I am left)

An arrow pierces my heart

I'll never forget it.

I love you.

I hate you.
