Original subtitles

I'm coming, Seiya. I may not be a whole lot of help

but we're in this together. I'm not about to let you die all by yourself.

I know this feeling. This is Chain Destruction, all right.

Wh-What is this place?

I thought we were going to the Demon Lord's castle.

This is the heart of the Demon Lord's castle.

The site of the final showdown. There's no doubt about that. So...

Seiya!

I-Is that...? Don't do it, Seiya!

Omega Valkyrja...

If you use that, your life will be...

Gate of Valhalla!

Seiya!

My vaunted anti-magic field!

A Valkyrja is not magic.

As such, it can activate and take effect under any conditions.

A Valkyrja?

Wh-What's that?

Impossible! Only the sacred sword Igzasion can do harm to my body!

There's no way a technique like this can exist--

What?!

This can't be happening!

He's trying to claw his way out!

O-Oh, no...

Don't trifle with me, human!

I'm not trifling with you. S-ranked Demon Lord of Gaeabrande

I've considered what you would do at this point.

Phoenix Thrust!

Sure enough, he needs to have Igzasion!

Your sword does not work on me.

Don't think your clever trick can keep me contained!

--Master! --Seiya!

Eternal Sword EX!

What a fool you are! I told you, your attacks won't work against me!

What? How can any sword other than Igzasion affect me?

What is that?

Huh?! Is that the humiliating doll I made out of my hair?!

Th-That's why! Master used Synthesis!

He performed Synthesis on the Gate's spikes!

An infernal sword not of this world...

Valhalla Thrust!

Y-You did it! It closed!

Seiya!

Seiya!

It's been 30 seconds.

The recoil from Gate of Valhalla is...

Rista...

...you came into the Demon Lord's chambers via a shortcut.

What about the Divine Realm's rules you're always bringing up?

You dummy, now is not the time!

If you die here, you won't be able to go back to your home world!

Mm-hmm... But I defeated the Demon Lord...

If you're really that cautious, you should think of a way to do this

so that you not only defeat the Demon Lord, but don't get killed, yourself!

Yeah, you're right...

--Master! --Seiya!

I'm not letting you die.

--Rista! --Rista!

I mean, no dying on my watch! What's the big idea?!

You lied to us about being back by nightfall!

I was going to go to the casino, get drinks, visit the hot springs

and show off my funny bathing suit! I had lots of things I wanted to do!

Order! Release all the healing power possessed by the goddess Ristarte!

Ristarte, you have already seriously violated Divine Realm rules

by moving to the final location using a gateway.

I will not be able to protect you if you go further.

You may even be stripped of your rank of goddess

by a Divine Realm internal tribunal.

I don't care. I'm ready to make peace with anything that happens.

I'll submit to whatever punishment I get.

Besides, I'm sure that this moment is the reason I became a goddess!

Very well. I will now release all of your divine power.

A-Awesome!

This is the real Rista!

I'm sure the regret I felt in my previous life for not being able to save you

is what has given me this power. I'm about to show you...

a healing power that surpasses the Gate of Valhalla.

That's right. I, too...

...am perfectly prepared!

This is bad, Rista! The more you heal, the more wounds he gets!

It's all right. I swear I'll save you. I'll save you, you'll see.

This time, we'll have a happy ending, right, Seiya?

D-Did that do it, Rista?

Yes. The recoil from the Gate of Valhalla has ended.

--Master! --Seiya!

Am I... still alive?

Thank goodness! Thank goodness! You're amazing, Rista!

Just like a real goddess!

Huh? Wait, I am a real goddess.

So you saved me?

That's right, Seiya.

Huh? Wait, h-how come...?

What do you think you're doing, taking advantage of the situation?

Seiya! You don't have to be bashful!

I am your beloved companion! Your ever-loving Rista!

A kiss would be perfectly fine!

Stop that. Get away. I have no idea what you're talking about.

I won't stop! I'm not going away!

Goddess's orders!

Enough, already. I'll slug you.

I get it!

I get everything now! You're just being tsundere, right?

You actually love me so much you'd give your life to protect me!

I told you I'd slug you.

D-Do you not know how to pull a punch?!

If I were to die here, I couldn't come back to life!

I'd actually prefer it if you didn't come back to life.

Y-You big...

On the other hand...

...I'm impressed that you were able to heal me from that situation.

All right

I'll admit that you're slightly more useful as a goddess than a medicinal herb.

How can you say that?!

Rista... Why...

Why...

...hasn't the Gate of Valhalla disappeared?

I'm taking you down with me. I'll obliterate you and this entire world!

Judgment Zero!

This is the power of an S-difficulty-level Demon Lord?

That black light has within it the power to destroy the world twice over!

All living creatures on Gaeabrande will be reduced to dust.

Including us, needless to say.

That won't work, Demon Lord.

Gate of Valhalla!

Seiya! Don't!

Another!

Damn you...! Damn you, damn you, damn you, damn you...!

I-Is it over for good this time?

You can rest easy. I've swallowed him along with the first Gate.

The Gate is talking!

He has been safely destroyed, and returned to the void.

Now then, caster, time to collect my compensation--

your life!

I won't allow that!

It's all right, Seiya!

I'll save you yet again!

Huh? Wh-What is this? It's not like the last time.

--Seiya! --Master!

Seiya!

It's not enough!

He's deteriorating faster than I can heal him!

Don't think a human can escape the toll of the Gate of Valhalla twice!

Be quiet! Shut up! You shut your mouth!

Harder! Harder! Concentrate even harder, Rista!

What is this? What's happening?!

Seiya saved the world!

Spare him!

I am a servant of the underworld!

I collect payment fairly and impartially.

Rista, let's go back to the Divine Realm!

If we leave here and go somewhere without Chain Destruction...

Yeah! Then even if Master dies, he can go back to his original world!

We can't.

If I stop healing him for even a moment right now

Seiya will immediately come apart.

Oh, no!

Elulu... thanks for your help with the Warmaster.

Seiya...

Without your support magic, I might have died back there.

No... No...! It's because you saved me...

...and I didn't get turned into the sacred sword... So I...

Mash, now that the Four Heavenly Kings and Demon Lord are gone

there's no one in this world that you can't beat.

Work together with Rosalie and keep this world safe.

Master, no...! I never even got the chance to thank you...!

Stop it! Stop talking like that!

Listen to me! I'm going to save you! I swear I'm going to save you!

Why? Why aren't you healing? Why?!

That's enough, Rista.

No it isn't! It can't end like this!

I couldn't save you before, and now that I'm a goddess, I still can't?

This isn't right...!

Rista, you did well.

But I ended up not being able to do anything...

Even as a goddess, I was no help at all...

I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm such a useless goddess...

I'm sorry...

It's so strange... It seems like this has already happened before, somewhere.

So that's it... You're...

That's why... That's why I...

Good... This time, I was able to save you...

So you really are leaving?

Gaeabrande has been saved thanks to your defeat of the Demon Lord.

Normally, the whole country should be offering their thanks.

Oh, that's okay.

Besides, the honoree who overthrew the Demon Lord is no longer with us.

Oh yeah... That's true.

Let me just say one thing.

Regardless of the risk to himself and of what others might think

Seiya Ryuuguuin always kept true to what he believed to be right.

It occurs to me now that he was a true hero.

Yes. And each of his acts were a series of miracles

that no ordinary hero could have achieved.

The two dragonkin who accompanied the hero in saving the world

were appointed by Rosalie to imperial knighthood.

Mash, hang in there.

Rista, I will preserve the world that Master saved.

And I'll be with him, too, so don't worry.

Mm-hmm. Elulu, be sure to help Mash out.

Mm-hmm! You're really leaving, huh?

Yeah. I can't stay here very long, so...

Rista!

Elulu...

Come visit us again. We'll go to the hot springs, okay?

Yeah, and the casino, too.

Right, we'll have to go there, huh?

Absolutely! Promise me!

Mm-hmm. Someday, for sure.

Okay, off I go.

Ristarte the Goddess...

You are strong. My father's death is still holding me back.

That's not true. But I have to be a proper goddess, for Seiya's sake.

That's all I'm thinking now.

I'll have to learn from your example... as the leader of the empire.

I'm sure you'll be fine as you are.

But never mind that, make sure to take care of Mash and Elulu for me.

Don't give them any crazy orders, okay?

I'll keep that in mind.

Salute our savior goddess!

Those two both looked so sharp.

When did they start being so strong?

That's something else I anticipated.

Seiya?

Seiya...

I locked the door.

The goddess of opening seals has arrived.

Sorry to just drop in. Ishtar is asking for you.

Mm-mm, all right. I'm coming.

Goodness.

You look awful. Your hair is all messed up, too.

Rista, I'm sure Ishtar is about to speak to you

about the whole matter of answering for your release of your goddess powers.

That's okay. I'll accept any punishment.

After all, I am at fault.

Relax. You saved that difficulty-level S world.

I'll make sure your punishment isn't too severe.

There. You look pretty now.

It doesn't look that way to me.

R-Rista, a-are you okay?

Yes, more or less. Thank you for your concern.

I know you liked Seiya, too.

W-Well, I'm more concerned about you than I am about me.

Compared to the grief you must have, I-I'm...

Hey, Rista, I'm not sure what happened, but you sure seem down.

Here, have some of this to cheer you up.

I'm trying something new with this frozen cake.

Y-Y-You're offering her something cold at a time like this?! How dense are you?!

Huh? How come?

R-Rista, d-don't force yourself.

Mm, your protein cake is good.

Um, it's a frozen cake, actually.

Oh, sorry. It's frozen protein, right?

That would just be protein that's been frozen. This isn't a protein cake, though.

Oh, but there is protein in there, isn't there?

Y-Yes, there is! There's plenty of protein!

If you cut back on the protein a little, it will probably turn out better.

No, he should use even more protein.

Protein is essential to an attractive figure, after all.

Mitis, go back to your forest before Ishtar yells at you.

Just give me a little while longer.

I was only wondering if a new hero had been summoned somewhere.

Mitis!

Very well, then. Ristarte, do have yourself a pleasant day.

Right...

Rista, there's no need to be worried.

Yo, Ristarte. Nice work.

I heard about your hero. Still, I don't regret teaching him that move.

Right.

Damn, you look miserable. This is why you're a second-rate goddess.

Valkyrie...?

I'll paint your picture sometime.

But before I do, pin a happier look on your face.

Rista

good work saving Gaeabrande.

I am extremely pleased that you made it back safely.

Yes, ma'am.

However, my feelings aside

a Divine Realm internal tribunal has ruled on you

for violating divine regulations. You must now accept your punishment.

Ishtar, procedure notwithstanding

Rista still saved the S-difficulty-level Gaeabrande.

If you must render a punishment

please be sure to give that fact careful consideration!

Rista, your punishment will be to save the SS-difficulty level world Ixphoria.

Ixphoria is a world that has already been conquered by a Demon Lord!

Its Demon Lord has defeated a hero, obtained tremendous power

and turned that world into a demonic realm!

I will go in Rista's place!

You cannot.

But, ma'am...!

In addition, Rista, while saving Ixphoria

your divine powers of healing will be locked away.

If you are unable to save it, your status as goddess will be stricken forever more.

O-Oh, no... That world was already hard enough on Rista once.

This is too harsh! Having her divine powers denied to her

so she cannot even support her hero

will make it absolutely impossible for her to save that terrible world!

Is that so? I do not believe it is impossible at all.

Based on what?

Just what kind of hero could possibly save a demon-realm world?

Please forgive me.

The effects of the Chain Destruction were also swallowed up

when the second Gate of Valhalla was used on the Demon Lord.

What are you saying...?

Ordinarily, once one fails a world, one can never return to it.

But I'm making an exception.

Ristarte, I am giving you permission to summon the hero from this list

to take back control of the SS-difficulty-level world Ixphoria.

"Resistances: Water, Ice, Wind, Water, Lighting, Earth; Special Skills: Fire magic (Lv:5); EXP Boost (Lv:2)" These ability levels have been reset

"LV: 1; HP: 385; MP: 198; Attack: 124: Defense: 111; Speed: 105; Magic: 86" and are less than a thousandth of what they were.

Thank you very much. This time...

That was the power I gained from my past regrets.

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" That was the power I gained from my past regrets.

"Seiya Ryuuguuin" The power I gained from defeating the Demon Lord and saving the world.

The power I gained from defeating the Demon Lord and saving the world.

The power that saw my friends and me through.
