My name is Subaru Natsuki!

I'm Emilia-tan's number one knight!

Don't you think you're letting your guard down a bit too much?!

I don't let my guard down!

Damn it! He got aw—

Subaru!

Whoa, whoa!

Emilia-tan!

Your hair's so soft, and it smells so nice! Are you using a new shampoo?

Subaru, you jerk! You absolute jerk!

I was so, so worried about you, you jerk! Jerk! Jerk!

That's a lot of "jerk"s...

I mean, I have no excuses, but...

Are you back together now?

Yeah.

You were still Subaru even when you didn't have your memories.

It wasn't for very long, but you tried so hard to...

I know. It's okay.

That Subaru is still here, inside both you and me.

So everything's really okay, Emilia-tan.

Yeah.

Found you.

First things first, let's go fetch my adorable partner.

Beako!

Beatrice!

S-Subaru and some woman I don't know are here!

Oh, Beako! You're so light! And so cute!

Look, Beatrice! Subaru remembers everything now!

There you go! Upsy-daisy! Upsy-daisy!

Wait, I suppose! Wait, I said!

Subaru, do you really remember everything, I suppose?

Including Betty, and the way we lived? Everything?

Yeah, that's right. So don't look so worried.

Besides...

Uh... older sister?

The snow sure melted quickly, didn't it?

Just the kind of big fuss over nothing I'd expect from you, Barusu.

It's my long-awaited return!

Meet Subaru Natsuki, the man of spring who comes when the snow mel—

Ow...

Looks like Patrasche is very happy to see you back, too.

Feels like it's been forever since I got a tsundere reception like that.

No. I'm sorry I worried you, too.

But I should save the sentimentality for later.

Let's finish all this up quick.

There's something I want to ask first.

Oh, me?

Right! I'm Emilia. Just Emilia.

There are lots of things I'd like to say,

but we're family—you, me, and Beatrice— and we're heading toward the same goal.

What? Did I say something strange?

There are many things I'd like to verify, but no matter.

Gluttony is behind this, right?

I don't like simply accepting defeat.

I agree. We'll get them back for sure!

Indeed! We'll repay them a hundred millionfold, I suppose!

Now I really feel like I'm back home!

So that's what's going on in the tower now.

In other words, the specific obstacles in front of us are...

The two Gluttonies...

...the mabeasts attacking from outside, and...

...Shaula's attack. Four obstacles.

Right.

So that must have shown up for the same reason it did at the Sanctuary—

because Rui was here, and she knows about Return by Death.

Now that she's gone, it shouldn't come back... I think.

Subaru?

Oh, sorry.

Are you all right? Do you feel like you're being pulled hither and thither?

There's another expression I haven't heard in a while...

Subaru! Say that again!

Later, okay? I'll say it later.

Anyway, those are the four obstacles we face.

We're all gonna tackle them together. It's all-out war.

And for that... Ram.

Shaula?!

Someone... Someone's broken a rule...

This is bad. She can't hold out any longer.

Meili, how are you faring?

Got my hands full, as you can see!

Shaula!

Master?

Master, please... Give me...

Give me the order!

If you don't... I'll...

Master!

I keep telling you, there's no reason for you to call me your master.

I won't tell you to kill yourself.

I won't let you end your 400 years of waiting in tears!

Master... I love you!

Meili! Echidna!

Natsuki?! You're back to—

No...

You got your memories back?!

You catch on fast. How'd you know?

I can tell from the look on Beatrice's face.

Who is...

It's Gluttony's doing. Same as Julius.

Her name is Emilia.

Echidna, you join up with Julius.

I've talked to Emilia about what to do from there.

What will you two do?

Subaru and Betty will play with this giant scorpion, I suppose.

I'm not going to doubt your plans now. I'll obey.

Any messages for Julius?

No, not particularly.

He's Julius Juukulius, you know.

Oh, actually, I do have a message!

"Everyone else is having a hard time,

so hurry up and finish your job so you can help them."

Got it. I'll pass that along word for word.

Just like we discussed. You're the key here, Emilia-tan.

Right. Leave it to me.

And don't you go dying or anything, all right?

Of course.

And? What am I supposed to do?

Sorry, but you'll be helping us, Meili.

You, me, and Beako will put down the mabeast stampede and the big scorpion.

Incoming!

Grab on!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I suppose!

I never thought you and I would be fighting side by side!

Dodge!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I say!

I don't even feel alive...

That was like a nightmare!

Oh, that's just getting started.

Let's do this! We're gonna destroy fate—or rather, the tower's whole system!

You really think you can beat me like that, bro?!

That's enough.

What the hell? You're hot!

Hot as hell! I'd rather be up against you!

I'm sorry for interrupting,

but we need Julius to defeat you.

Say what?

I know you just saved me, but...

Echidna, who is this woman?

According to Natsuki, she's someone in the same position as you.

What?

Yes, Julius. I now know all too well how you feel.

Then it's true...

Hey, c'mon. What's your deal, hot stuff?

For some reason, my hand just doesn't wanna reach out to stop you.

Don't tell me...

you've already cleared the exam?!

Yes, that's right. You touched my chest with your chopsticks and lost.

Hah! Couldn't have asked for a more fun way to lose!

It's a damn shame I don't remember it!

Julius, I...

Go on, beautiful one whose name is unknown just like mine.

I wish you the best.

Right. Same to you.

Are you going to stay here and observe my battle?

If you'll allow it...

No, that's not right.

I determined for myself that that's what I ought to do.

After all...

After all, you are Anastasia Hoshin's knight.

Aren't you?

That gives me even more strength than I expected.

Someone who doesn't even know who I am

trusts me and places their hopes in me,

a man who may well be no one at all.

Julius, I have a message for you.

"Hurry up and finish your job so you can help the others."

If he's broken out of his shell, I mustn't fall behind.

I'm Reid the stick swinger.

Go ahead and fall, but remember that name.

Allow me to give you my name again.

I am Julius Juukulius, Lady Anastasia Hoshin's number one knight.

My time playing some nameless knight ends now.

We can't get in touch with cute little Rui or even Roy.

Well, no helping that!

If they can't do it, we'll have to slurp up this whole meal ourselves!

How carefree of you.

And you really think you have the right to do that?

I've heard that you're the one who tore the sisterly love between me and Rem asunder.

I'll make you squeal like a pig as you die.

What's wrong? You think this is a game?

Do ya? Do ya? Do ya?!

As your mood changes, so does your sword.

I've been expectin' that explosion from you, and yet...

You gonna be so fixated on manners that you lose?

And you're satisfied with that, bro?

All criticisms I feel I've heard before,

but you truly don't hold back, do you?

Figures. Ain't nothin' to your sword work but desperation!

You're puttin' in this whole polite, proper knight act,

but on the inside, you're just a stick swinger like me.

Just watchin' you feels suffocating. I can't bear to see it, bro.

I see...

I think I finally understand now.

Eh?

Why you are so relentless with me.

You see something in me that reminds you of yourself.

I dunno any of that complicated shit.

I just know what my instincts tell me:

that you'd be a lot more interesting if you'd drop the mask!

I know you know it, too!

You're never gonna beat me as you are now,

and you're never gonna impress that hottie behind you!

You are right.

That is exactly why I will never stop being who I am!

What you say is surely accurate.

Many of your statements ring true.

I am not a legitimate child of the Juukulius family.

I was born to commoners.

Before my current father took me in,

I had no knowledge of noble culture.

Who I am is something I built from the ground up.

It's just an ugly-ass façade, though.

Perhaps it is.

The rustic boy who knew nothing of ideals may well be the true me.

However...

I met my ideal.

That is why I will see my aspirations through and maintain the guise of a knight.

I will cling to my pretensions and lock away my original self.

I will stand with proper posture, straighten out my clothes,

put on the appearance of the one I wish to be,

and prop myself up on my determination to see it through.

That is the façade that I've decided to wear for all eternity.

There are, of course, those who mock such ostentation,

but I believe there are just as many who find it dazzling,

in the same way that I have long aspired to live as a knight.

Allow me to apologize, my buds.

I was afraid of change.

But I now relinquish that weak, pathetic, cowardly self.

My buds, I hereby set you free.

Forgive me for clinging so long to our broken bond.

Having said all that, I now call upon all of you once more!

I love you all.

If you can accept this vain pretender's advances, let us form a new bond!

A new contract between me and all of you!

Thank you.

Although we may hurt each other, at times deeply, at times gently...

I will continue to walk this path.

You're a lot stronger now that you've broken outta your shell.

I'm gonna make you cry!

What're you laughin' about?

Nothing. I was only thinking

that when I return home from here,

I should challenge my friend Reinhard.

What'd you say your name was, bro?

Julius Juukulius.

It is quite a forgettable name, so I wish to remember it.

Al Cranvel!

Now...

Sure, whatever.

Here I come!

Ia!

Iku!

Kua! Ia!

Ia! Aro!

Al Clarista!

I was born into this world with no objective.

I had no idea why I was born.

But...

Do you remember, Ana?

This is where I met you.

You boasted that you were greedy

and wanted to get your hands on everything.

That's why you're staying here and won't come out, right?

While you hide within your od,

the world outside cannot reach you.

If you leave it, you will be affected by Gluttony's authority—

in other words, you will forget Julius Juukulius.

And that scares you.

To the girl who wanted everything,

nothing is as scary as losing something.

But are you sure that's what you want?

You want to miss out on seeing your knight at his most gallant?

A stingy one like you

could never let such an opportunity go to waste.

Julius!

Get 'im, my knight!

Well, what a boring ending this turned out to be.

I guess in the end,

a man like me just couldn't fit into another vessel.

Roy Alphard's body couldn't withstand you?

Don't get the wrong idea, bro.

If I was in my own body,

you wouldn't even be gettin' close enough to wipe your snot on me.

I wouldn't do that anyway.

Hah! You're no fun.

I have only the most heartfelt respect for your power.

I don't need some dumb boy lookin' up to me.

I won, Julius.

Yes. Until the very end, you are the winner, Reid Astrea.

Hah!

I like that look on your face...

you loser.

Good Loser

It is a pleasure to meet you.

I'm...

I'm Anastasia Hoshin.

I want everything in this world.

Well, you incredibly good-lookin' man,

what's your name?

Of course.

I am Julius Juukulius,

your number one knight.

You may not remember,

but I dedicated my sword to you.

I am here to give all my strength to you and support your ambition.

That so?

I don't really remember any of that, but...

I only needed one look at you

to know that I needed to make you mine.

I'm out!

Huh?

The first floor is... outside?

It's even higher up than the clouds.

You're...

Thou who hath reached the tower's summit,

petitioner of omnipotence who hath set foot upon the first floor...

I am Volcanica.

Per the ancient covenant,

I ask the will of the one who hath reached the summit.
