Original subtitles

They're just a few guns then maybe we should put the soldiers in the front of

the group You want to use them as human shield without our magic? There's no way

we can hold them off I think it would be difficult to dispel it from the outside

All of our specialists are being held captive inside the Academy.

We can't go through the woods. There's barbed wire everywhere I'm more

concerned about the tunnels if they've managed to cut off access to the outside

so thoroughly Do you think they have a spy in the school? You mean Xenon wasn't

the only one?

They don't need to tie us up without our magic. There's nothing we can really do

Even if we did have our magic

Impressive. Oh my god, we really did it! Now I can control the Eye of Avarice and

stop it from shutting off our magic!

So, what about those hidden tunnels?

Right! According to what my father told me.

Now I can finally go help my father.

That's great.

I love this stuff!

is is

Oh

We'll be right back.

world has lost a great woman you should know that your mother was a very gifted

researcher sherry but more than that she was an exceptional friend to me if

you'd like to you can come stay with me father

gave me as much love and affection as he would his own flesh and blood he even

supported the research my mother left behind so now

It's my turn.

Don't worry.

You'll be okay.

Thank you, Sid. Thank you for everything.

I only helped out a little. It was no big deal.

There's nothing left for me to do here.

It's all up to you now. Go save the world.

Okay, I'll try.

what is taking rex so long sir we have not seen him or any of the guards bros

forget it as we are now we can't even block bullets let alone swords the dense

magical energy emanating from him is in a whole other league i don't know if we

could beat him even if we did have our magic back but we can't just sit here i

know that

Yo bullseye number two, they're pathetic letting these commoners toys take them

out They're a disgrace to the name of Dark Knight Rose, please have to do

something. We can't They're going to kill us all this is humiliating

What happened Our

magic has been unsealed

We haven't gotten back all the magic they took from us yet before I run out

completely I have to get him

Is this the end?

No.

Even if they take me down, the rest of them will carry on.

Just like I'm carrying on the legacy of his love for me!

Very well done.

So now what my beautiful sword wielder

What

the

hell is all this

We are shadow garden

Where's my father? I don't see him anywhere.

Fire!

And it's burning!

Mr. President!

Use sword pressure to open a path. Just get everyone out of here.

They did this in their own territory?

An extremely bold move.

Hmm?

Oh dear, what a disaster.

What is going on in there? We don't know. One second we had our magic back,

the next everything was on fire. And there were bodies of dead intruders

everywhere. Okay then, just do your best to put out the fires.

The students that were being held hostage.

Princess Rose!

Princess Iris.

Our magic suddenly came back and then these fires broke out everywhere.

What happened in there?

A mystery organization appeared and wiped out the terrorists.

They called themselves Shadow Garden.

And you're sure that's what they said?

Yes, but the terrorists went by the same name.

Who are they?

We've retrieved all of the necessary articles.

Very well done, Nu.

All that's left...

What are you doing in that costume?

Assistant Principal Lutheran Barnett.

Cid Coggino.

How the hell did you figure it out?

One look and it was obvious.

I see. Was it the way I walk or the way I stand?

You have a good eye.

Can I ask you something, just for my own reference?

What is it?

Why are you doing this?

You didn't seem the type to be into this sort of thing.

You really want to know?

At one point in my life, I had reached the top of the swordfighting world.

That was before you were born.

Right. I heard you won the Buxin Festival.

The Buxin Festival.

The real peak is much higher than that.

Although I doubt you would understand any of that.

But as soon as I made it to the top of the sword-fighting world, I got sick.

The glory I fought so hard to attain was gone, just like that.

After that, I went in search of a way to cure my disease.

And I found potential in a certain artifact.

Is this story going to get long?

A little.

There was a researcher, Sherry's mother.

An unlucky woman who was despised by the academic world for being too

intelligent. I funded her research and she immersed herself in it.

We got along beautifully.

Then I finally came face to face with the artifact I had so longed to find.

But that idiotic woman said the Eye of Avarice was too dangerous.

Of all things, she suggested handing it over to the government for safekeeping.

I tore her apart.

Starting with her extremities, working my way inward until finally I stabbed

her through the heart and gave it a good twist.

Sherry never knew.

She never doubted. She just took over her mother's research, never realizing

that I was her mother's killer.

My dear, sweet, foolish girl.

Well? Does that answer your question?

Yeah, pretty much.

There's just one thing that bothers me. And what is that?

Is it true that you use Sherry for your own selfish needs?

Yes, of course it's true. Does that anger you?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I make a very clear distinction between what's

important to me and what's of no consequence.

As people go through life, they collect more things that have value to them.

They make friends, find significant others, get jobs.

But me?

I trimmed the fat. And when I was done, all I had left was what I absolutely

couldn't do without.

And that's why I don't particularly care what happens to anything else.

You mean you don't care what becomes of the foolish mother and daughter?

I think it's time we got started.

If we wait too long, we may get interrupted.

Indeed.

It's a pity, but I'm afraid it's time for us to say goodbye.

I bid you farewell, Cid Coggino.

Where are you going?

What the hell?

You... Shadow!

Like you I am a man who has lived by the sword I can tell a lot when I come face

to face with an opponent including the fact that I am currently at a

disadvantage My apologies, but I'm not wasting any time before I pull out all

the stops It is when you combine the eye of avarice with its control unit that it

demonstrates its true value.

Let me show you

Now is the moment of my long-awaited rebirth!

It's glorious, isn't it? Truly magnificent!

My strength is returning.

My malady is being cured.

Can you feel it? Can you feel the magical energy running wild?

The power far beyond any human abilities.

I think I'll try it on you. You'll be my first experiment!

Nice lock.

Now how about this?

I'll admit you are very strong indeed, and to show my respect for your

strength. I won't hold anything back either!

You have compelled me to fight you as an equal.

That will be something to brag about in the afterlife.

So that's really the best you can do?

No!

Not yet!

It's impossible that you can be this good! But it doesn't matter how strong

you are.

It's over for you! I've made arrangements to ensure you take the

blame for all that's happened!

I've prepared evidence, witness testimonies, everything!

Now you'll be branded as traitors, and the entire world will be hunting you

down! No amount of strength will save you now!

That's hilarious.

What the hell?

You think a little thing like that means it's over for us? You are truly quite

hysterical. My organization was never walking the path of righteousness.

But we are not evil either. We walk the path we make ourselves.

If you can do that, then go ahead.

Bring me the guilt for all the crimes in all the world.

I will gladly accept all of it. But it won't change anything.

Even with it, I... We will do what we must do without hesitation.

Then you're not afraid to turn the entire world against you?

That is what we call hubris, Shadow!

You tore her apart from the extremities to her core and ended with her heart, is

that right?

Don't you think it turned out nicely?

Shadow, sworn enemy to the kingdom, wanted for mass murder, kidnapping,

arson, and armed robbery.

What a nefarious evil man.

Our almighty Lord Shadow said, I will gladly accept the guilt for all the

crimes in the world, but it won't change anything.

Even with that guilt, we will do what we must do without hesitation.

Wise words.

Indeed.

I had originally thought we stood for righteousness and justice, but that's

not how he saw it, I suppose.

We must do our part to live up to his resolve.

Assemble those available of the Seven Shadows.

So they're going to close the school and start summer break.

Thank you for your

help the other day.

I didn't really do much. You did. If you hadn't helped me, I never could have...

It was nothing. Forget about it.

I have something to tell you.

I have decided that I'm going to study abroad.

I'm moving to Laocas.

The city on the leading edge of science.

That's awesome.

There's something I need to do, and I can't do it with only the knowledge I

possess now.

Besides, I have no reason to stay in this place anymore.

Okay. Well, good luck.

Thank you.

I do wish that I could have gotten to know you a little better, Sid.

Yeah. Maybe next time.

Yes. Maybe next time.

One sec.

Yes?

Mind if I ask you what it is you need to do?

It's a secret.

Secret?

Yes.

Well, until next time.

Yeah

I

I swear I'll

I'll see you soon.
