1
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,856
-This can't be.
-Apollo, surely not…

2
00:00:22,939 --> 00:00:24,899
Reduced to such a state.

3
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:29,946
Leonidas' ferocious counterattack
has exploded!

4
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:33,241
The indomitable Spartan king

5
00:00:33,324 --> 00:00:37,704
has finally brought the Sun God
crashing to the ground!

6
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:43,543
Amazing. He turned the tide
with just one blow.

7
00:00:43,626 --> 00:00:45,879
This is the might
of Sparta's greatest king.

8
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:47,338
Sparta!

9
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:49,424
Sparta!

10
00:00:49,507 --> 00:00:51,009
See that, you gods?

11
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:54,888
This is Sparta's King Leonidas!

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,976
This… is a real man!

13
00:02:31,025 --> 00:02:35,947
KNOW THYSELF

14
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:38,700
Hell yeah!

15
00:02:38,783 --> 00:02:42,912
He really crushed Apollo head-on!

16
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:46,666
A…

17
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:51,921
Amazing! He didn't even fall
after taking an attack like that!

18
00:02:52,547 --> 00:02:56,092
An incredible mental fortitude
and a robust physique.

19
00:02:58,887 --> 00:03:03,141
The Spartans truly are a fearsome people.

20
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,059
-It's not…
-Oh.

21
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:06,853
-…just Sparta!
-Wow.

22
00:03:07,562 --> 00:03:10,940
Who do you think
is fighting alongside him?

23
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:16,905
Sister Geirölul. She's the most terrifying
of the 13 sisters when she's angry.

24
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:21,868
Even I've never seen her give up
when she's furious.

25
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:23,661
That's

26
00:03:25,413 --> 00:03:27,332
quite reassuring.

27
00:03:27,415 --> 00:03:28,791
Exactly.

28
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:32,003
Go for it, Sister Geirölul.

29
00:03:33,004 --> 00:03:34,172
Yeah!

30
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:36,925
How's that, you narcissistic god?

31
00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:40,678
To think humanity was this formidable.

32
00:03:40,762 --> 00:03:43,932
The fight must surely be over!

33
00:03:49,812 --> 00:03:53,900
No! The sun hasn't burned out yet!

34
00:03:58,071 --> 00:04:00,740
What a sight.

35
00:04:00,823 --> 00:04:05,203
The god who boasted unparalleled beauty

36
00:04:05,286 --> 00:04:08,206
is now reduced
to a tattered shadow of himself!

37
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:11,918
Apollo!

38
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:14,254
No! I can't bear to watch anymore.

39
00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:19,884
"Never stand in front of a Spartan."

40
00:04:20,385 --> 00:04:21,928
Go to sleep already.

41
00:04:22,011 --> 00:04:25,265
You don't want everyone to see you
in such a pathetic state, do you?

42
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:29,227
Pathetic? You've got it all wrong.

43
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:35,525
You of all people should understand.

44
00:04:36,609 --> 00:04:40,488
Even now, as I burn my soul

45
00:04:41,155 --> 00:04:44,284
to fight and defeat you,

46
00:04:46,035 --> 00:04:48,496
I am more beautiful than ever!

47
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:54,669
"Beautiful"?

48
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:56,754
He's just acting tough.

49
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:59,132
Got beat up that bad, huh?

50
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:00,633
See, I told you so.

51
00:05:00,717 --> 00:05:05,138
He fought head-on like an idiot,
and look at the result.

52
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:08,558
Doesn't he know his place?

53
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:13,730
Those bystanders are spouting nonsense.

54
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:18,234
You actually do like Apollo, don't you?

55
00:05:22,071 --> 00:05:24,073
Not at all!

56
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:30,371
It's just… he's definitely not someone
who doesn't know his place.

57
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:34,250
Exactly.

58
00:05:34,917 --> 00:05:36,711
No other god

59
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:42,383
knows his place or himself
as well as Apollo does.

60
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:50,183
"Know Thyself" are the words inscribed
at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi.

61
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:55,563
Ancient Greeks are said
to have interpreted this as follows.

62
00:05:55,646 --> 00:06:01,027
You lowly humans should know your place.

63
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:03,905
Apollo was a god of philosophy,
a god of poetry,

64
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:06,574
a god of medicine, a god of archery,

65
00:06:06,657 --> 00:06:09,285
a god of music, and a god of prophecy.

66
00:06:09,369 --> 00:06:11,913
He was also revered as the "Sun God."

67
00:06:11,996 --> 00:06:15,208
It is said he handed this down

68
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:19,170
as a warning to foolish humans.

69
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:23,883
But was that truly Apollo's intent?

70
00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:26,552
No, it was not.

71
00:06:27,303 --> 00:06:30,014
No. The complete opposite.

72
00:06:30,765 --> 00:06:33,976
There is a true story that proves it.

73
00:06:34,602 --> 00:06:37,688
In ancient Greece,
when gods and humans were still close,

74
00:06:38,356 --> 00:06:41,401
a monster named Python
roamed the land of Delphi.

75
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:43,486
DELPHI VILLAGE

76
00:06:50,535 --> 00:06:51,411
PYTHON

77
00:06:51,494 --> 00:06:52,703
Scared of little old me?

78
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:54,580
Run!

79
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:57,041
Be more afraid, tremble more!

80
00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:00,962
Banished from Valhalla
for his grotesque appearance,

81
00:07:01,045 --> 00:07:03,965
Python frequently attacked human villages.

82
00:07:10,555 --> 00:07:12,348
That's enough, you monster!

83
00:07:12,849 --> 00:07:13,766
Huh?

84
00:07:14,350 --> 00:07:16,269
By Lord Ares' command…

85
00:07:16,352 --> 00:07:17,478
ARES' DIVINE SOLDIERS

86
00:07:17,562 --> 00:07:19,313
…we will slay you.

87
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:29,407
Weak, so weak!

88
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:32,160
All bark and no bite, you fake gods!

89
00:07:34,954 --> 00:07:39,250
He defeated every god sent to slay him

90
00:07:40,209 --> 00:07:43,254
and ran rampant,
not to be tamed by anyone.

91
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:51,053
No! I'm scared!

92
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:59,979
He was utterly despised,
like the venomous serpent he was.

93
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:04,442
And then, one day…

94
00:08:07,403 --> 00:08:12,366
So you're Python, the one who wiped out
my best friend Ares' followers?

95
00:08:16,871 --> 00:08:18,164
Who are you?

96
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:21,167
Well, well, well…

97
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,878
To live up
to my best friend's expectations,

98
00:08:23,961 --> 00:08:26,088
I'll take you on myself.

99
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:27,173
VALHALLA

100
00:08:27,256 --> 00:08:29,550
What? Apollo has sortied? Why?

101
00:08:29,634 --> 00:08:31,427
Something about expectations.

102
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,804
He's doing whatever he wants again.

103
00:08:33,888 --> 00:08:37,099
The sun rises without being asked.

104
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,062
A friend answers expectations
without being asked.

105
00:08:41,145 --> 00:08:44,023
What's with this cryptic nonsense?

106
00:08:44,607 --> 00:08:47,777
But for Apollo himself,
one of the 12 Olympian gods,

107
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:49,278
to come all this way…

108
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:50,655
Fine by me!

109
00:08:50,738 --> 00:08:55,326
I'm gonna tear that smug face
of yours to shreds!

110
00:08:57,078 --> 00:09:03,543
That day, a god descended
and felled Python with a single blow.

111
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:15,263
Had enough? Guess I win.

112
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:22,311
You damn god.

113
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:25,064
I'll kill you!

114
00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:33,364
To think that just one hit
could do this to me.

115
00:09:33,447 --> 00:09:35,283
What strength is this?

116
00:09:35,366 --> 00:09:36,534
But

117
00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:41,122
I won't lose to a guy like you!

118
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:43,583
I…

119
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,167
I…

120
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:50,548
I still haven't lost!

121
00:09:50,631 --> 00:09:52,925
Is that so? All right!

122
00:09:54,218 --> 00:09:57,430
Then let's continue this tomorrow.

123
00:09:57,513 --> 00:10:01,058
I'll be taking this comfy bed.

124
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,769
You can sleep somewhere else.

125
00:10:05,313 --> 00:10:06,564
And so,

126
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,401
the next day, and the day after that,

127
00:10:10,985 --> 00:10:12,445
day after day,

128
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:16,198
Python challenged Apollo
and was defeated each time.

129
00:10:18,784 --> 00:10:20,036
Damn it.

130
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:22,246
Damn it.

131
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:24,582
Damn it!

132
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:27,043
I can't lose.

133
00:10:27,543 --> 00:10:28,919
Not yet.

134
00:10:29,587 --> 00:10:33,716
I… can't lose.

135
00:10:34,216 --> 00:10:36,969
Especially not to a guy like you.

136
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:41,098
Why do you keep challenging me?

137
00:10:41,182 --> 00:10:46,687
I've always been hated for no reason.

138
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:48,814
Persecuted for no reason.

139
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:53,027
Whether in Valhalla or on Earth,

140
00:10:53,694 --> 00:10:55,946
it's the same everywhere.

141
00:10:56,906 --> 00:10:59,283
It's because I was born a monster.

142
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:01,494
It's because of the way I look!

143
00:11:01,577 --> 00:11:02,745
That's why…

144
00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:06,457
that's why I won't lose

145
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:09,210
to someone like you,

146
00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:12,421
admired for their beauty and strength.

147
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:17,635
An all-powerful god
who was born with everything.

148
00:11:17,718 --> 00:11:19,637
I can't lose to someone like you!

149
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:22,640
I don't want to lose!

150
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,606
Beautiful.

151
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:36,320
I said you're beautiful.

152
00:11:37,571 --> 00:11:40,700
"Beautiful"? Me?

153
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:43,577
Don't mess with me! Don't mock me!

154
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:45,996
I'm not messing with you.

155
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,415
I wouldn't mock you.

156
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:52,294
How can you say a savage beast
like me looks beautiful?

157
00:11:52,378 --> 00:11:56,006
Looks? Appearance doesn't matter.

158
00:11:56,090 --> 00:12:00,511
What's beautiful
is your very existence right now.

159
00:12:02,471 --> 00:12:06,350
You, facing yourself,
fighting with a burning soul,

160
00:12:06,434 --> 00:12:07,935
are truly beautiful.

161
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:13,149
What would you know about me--

162
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:14,650
I know

163
00:12:15,276 --> 00:12:18,237
because I'm the same.

164
00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:24,201
Was Apollo always a shining,
all-powerful god?

165
00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:25,703
No.

166
00:12:25,786 --> 00:12:29,331
Apollo was acknowledged
by all in the Divine Greek Realm

167
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,167
as a mediocre god.

168
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:34,170
A god of philosophy, a god of poetry,

169
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:37,173
a god of medicine, a god of archery,

170
00:12:37,256 --> 00:12:40,176
a god of prophecy, a god of boxing…

171
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:45,181
These talents of Apollo
were not innate gifts.

172
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:47,683
They were all earned

173
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:51,687
through blood-soaked effort.

174
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:54,398
And so the mediocre god with no talent

175
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:56,859
rose to become
one of the 12 Olympian gods,

176
00:12:56,942 --> 00:13:03,741
eventually hailed as Helios,
Phoibos, the radiant Sun God Apollo.

177
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:08,454
You think you're the same as me?

178
00:13:08,537 --> 00:13:10,873
Those who are not beautiful

179
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:13,876
are the ones content with the present
who stop moving forward.

180
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:17,922
They are the ones who rest
on their current happiness or fortune.

181
00:13:18,005 --> 00:13:21,759
Those who know themselves
know their shortcomings.

182
00:13:21,842 --> 00:13:25,387
Those who know themselves
know their weaknesses.

183
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:29,350
Those who know themselves
do not fear change.

184
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:31,894
Those who know themselves

185
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:34,313
should take pride in their own beauty!

186
00:13:43,239 --> 00:13:47,868
But I have hurt people.

187
00:13:53,249 --> 00:13:57,002
A snake whose tail is stepped on may bite.

188
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:02,508
To protect its own life,
it might lash out.

189
00:14:03,634 --> 00:14:08,931
Perhaps it's the gods' job
to stop that before it turns into war.

190
00:14:12,142 --> 00:14:16,272
I've enjoyed my vacation enough,
so I'll head back now.

191
00:14:16,772 --> 00:14:18,524
Thanks for the great bed.

192
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,236
I…

193
00:14:22,319 --> 00:14:24,446
I won't lose!

194
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,908
I won't lose anymore!

195
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:46,427
After that,
Python ceased attacking human settlements

196
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:48,262
and remained in Delphi.

197
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:53,309
He built a temple to honor Apollo
and became its guardian.

198
00:14:53,809 --> 00:14:57,187
It is said that these words
were inscribed on the temple…

199
00:14:57,271 --> 00:14:59,648
KNOW THYSELF
GNOTHI SEAUTON

200
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:03,861
It is precisely because one knows oneself
that one can surpass oneself.

201
00:15:03,944 --> 00:15:07,990
He continually elevates himself.

202
00:15:08,073 --> 00:15:12,161
That's why Apollo is so strong.

203
00:15:13,871 --> 00:15:20,336
To become more beautiful than yesterday,
and even more so in this very moment,

204
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:22,588
I burn my soul!

205
00:15:22,671 --> 00:15:26,300
You're still acting cool
even in a state like that?

206
00:15:29,303 --> 00:15:30,679
Damn, it's annoying.

207
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:33,223
But, goddamn, I love it!

208
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:38,479
Filled with murderous intent,
I'll goddamn crush you with all I've got!

209
00:15:38,562 --> 00:15:40,648
Spartan King Leonidas,

210
00:15:41,148 --> 00:15:44,777
I don't care for your filthy language.

211
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:49,239
But that strike earlier was beautiful.

212
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:55,746
You, too, seem to "know thyself"
and burn your soul.

213
00:15:55,829 --> 00:15:58,165
In which case,
there's only one thing to do.

214
00:15:58,248 --> 00:16:02,628
Let's burn our souls
to the fullest together!

215
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:25,275
Apollo has unraveled the thread
from his hand!

216
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:27,486
What's he planning?

217
00:16:27,569 --> 00:16:29,738
I knew it. That technique…

218
00:16:29,822 --> 00:16:30,698
Huh?

219
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:38,163
Come, Artemis.

220
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:42,960
-What the heck?
-It's so bright!

221
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:48,799
Apollo's Divine Treasure is emitting
an unprecedentedly powerful light!

222
00:16:49,383 --> 00:16:51,176
Huh? It's gone?

223
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:07,609
Moonbeams of Artemis.

224
00:17:08,444 --> 00:17:10,988
What is that?

225
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:14,450
A massive statue of a goddess
has appeared behind Apollo!

226
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:16,452
Beautiful.

227
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:18,245
Huh? Who is?

228
00:17:18,328 --> 00:17:19,246
What did you say?

229
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:22,499
When he gets serious,
he's truly beautiful.

230
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:23,834
-Oh?
-Oh.

231
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:26,587
-So embarrassing.
-How honest of you.

232
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:31,091
The Divine Treasure, Moonbeams of Artemis.

233
00:17:31,175 --> 00:17:33,302
It's been a while since I've seen it.

234
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:37,681
Apollo's not used it
since the Gigantomachy, right?

235
00:17:40,017 --> 00:17:42,770
Okay, let's do this!

236
00:17:45,272 --> 00:17:50,277
The goddess is forming something
with those threads of light!

237
00:17:51,945 --> 00:17:54,073
According to Greek mythology,

238
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:59,536
the twin gods Apollo and Artemis
wielded golden bows

239
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:02,498
to defeat the Gigantes,
the race of giants.

240
00:18:03,332 --> 00:18:08,420
A massive bow, glowing with light,
has appeared in Apollo's hands!

241
00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:12,883
It's huge! Is that a bow?

242
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:14,468
Can he even use that thing?

243
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:18,680
Try to take this.

244
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:23,477
He's turned light into matter,
forming an arrow!

245
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:28,357
The supreme technique of Phoibos Apollo!

246
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,733
"Supreme"?

247
00:18:29,817 --> 00:18:33,112
Sounds fun. Shoot it, you godly jerk!

248
00:18:33,195 --> 00:18:35,697
Idiot! You can't take that head-on!

249
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:46,917
Something's hot.

250
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,710
Your ear!

251
00:18:51,213 --> 00:18:53,715
Ow!

252
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,051
What the heck was that?

253
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:02,599
What just happened?

254
00:19:02,683 --> 00:19:06,103
In a flash of light,
Apollo's arrow vanished,

255
00:19:06,186 --> 00:19:10,774
and holes appeared
in both Leonidas and the arena wall!

256
00:19:11,358 --> 00:19:16,321
Truly, the radiance of the sun
is a divine yet terrifying technique.

257
00:19:16,405 --> 00:19:17,239
Yes.

258
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:21,702
"The golden arrows shot by Apollo
are as fast as light itself."

259
00:19:21,785 --> 00:19:26,248
"If it hits a human, they'd die instantly
without even feeling pain."

260
00:19:26,331 --> 00:19:29,168
It's the fastest strike
in the divine realm.

261
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:33,630
Even the Gigantes fell helplessly
before that technique.

262
00:19:33,714 --> 00:19:37,634
I'm probably the only one in Valhalla
who could block that arrow.

263
00:19:38,594 --> 00:19:42,806
That human must be done for.

264
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:48,604
That hurt, you asshole god.

265
00:19:48,687 --> 00:19:51,690
There's no way to dodge that!

266
00:19:51,773 --> 00:19:54,359
Leo, those arrows are too dangerous.

267
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:56,403
I'm falling back to your shield.

268
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,866
You endured that strike?

269
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:03,410
It should be more than just painful.

270
00:20:04,995 --> 00:20:07,915
You're unbelievably tough!

271
00:20:13,503 --> 00:20:15,797
Apollo Epicurius!

272
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:24,473
We'll be caught in the ricochets!

273
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:32,648
Leo!

274
00:20:32,731 --> 00:20:33,857
King Leonidas!

275
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:35,943
An incredible barrage!

276
00:20:36,026 --> 00:20:39,655
Unavoidable arrows of light
rain down like a meteor shower!

277
00:20:39,738 --> 00:20:43,575
Leonidas has no way to counter!

278
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:50,374
Oops. That felt so good,
I almost dozed off.

279
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:53,669
You're something else.

280
00:20:54,544 --> 00:20:56,797
But we need a plan.

281
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,173
Arrows you can't see…

282
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:00,759
Don't worry.

283
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:05,389
It doesn't matter
if we can see them or not.

284
00:21:05,472 --> 00:21:06,723
They're just arrows.

285
00:21:06,807 --> 00:21:09,434
I'll smash them to bits.

286
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:10,477
Leo…

287
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,105
I commend you for enduring this far.

288
00:21:13,188 --> 00:21:15,732
That's why I won't let you suffer anymore.

289
00:21:15,816 --> 00:21:17,276
Let's end this!

290
00:21:22,739 --> 00:21:24,908
End it? Hell no!

291
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:40,961
