Original subtitles

In A.D. 200X,

World War 3 began.

All of Earth's cities, including Tokyo, became the targets of bombings,

and were bathed in frightful red flames.

Half a century has passed since then.

The contaminated former epicenter is still isolated from the city,

creating a hole in the middle of Japan...

It is commonly known as the Black Spot.

As time passed, people began to inhabit this wasteland.

They were deemed unnecessary by those who lived in cities.

Among these unnecessary people were ones who could command strange abilities.

Fire, Wind, Gravity...

They had the ability to control these supernatural powers.

Thus, those who possessed Fragments...

Were regarded with fear as...

The Needless!

Get ready, fly out, keep an open mind.

We're going to rust together to the end.

A composed movie star, and a gorgeous rock star

We'll blow them both away.

We're modern strange cowboys.

Are you ready for the action?

There's nothing blocking our path.

Do you have any function?

Go way back to the fire!

Insanity can't be expressed in words!

You can't ignore my will!

Don't sugar-coat your words.

Let me feel your feverish body!

Live for the moment, cowboy!

So that the newly sprouted flowers won't be scattered by the wind!

Live on, cowboy!

Keep on running, cowboy!

Eve Neuschwanstein

You can't escape!

Go buy me some cigs, Yamada!

Tempest Thread

They've gotten used to calling me Yamada!

Go buy me some cigs, Yamada!

My name is Cruz!

Go buy me some cigs, Yamada!

Go buy me some cigs, Yamada!

I'm telling you, my name is Cruz!

How long are we gonna let that kid stay with us?

Well, what can we do? It doesn't look like he has any relatives other than his late sister.

H-H-Help me, Eve-san!

I'm pretty surprised that you're a recurring character in this anime, you know.

Don't say that!

Anyway, here you go.

W-What is this? Money?

Go buy me some Super Gel-type Derodoron Drink too, damn it!

And thus, Nee-san, I've ended up being forced to run errands for the people in this church.

I do feel grateful that they've taken me in, though...

Eve-san's taste in drinks is strange,

and I have no idea what Father gets up to.

Also, I should do something about them calling me Yamada...

Yamada, what the hell is this!?

I wanted the Super Gel-type Derodoron Drink!

This is a Dorodoron Drink!

Huh? They aren't the same?

They're completely different!

I'm sorry. This was the only thing available.

Don't come back until you find it!

Derodoron drink

Sold Out

Thanks!

See, they had it on sale.

We had to walk for at least half a day to get here, though...

All right, let's go home-

We've got trouble.

A Testament!?

Are you going to fight?

I can't be bothered to take them on.

For now, let's...

We'll hide here until they leave.

This is pretty troublesome.

We're not gonna be able to return unless they clear out of here soon.

Return?

Where to?

Who... who's there?

To where the Father who destroyed that Testament lives?

Or maybe you have even more friends waiting for you there?

It's magic-

H-He's floating in mid air!

Are you...

A Needless grunt from the Shimeji?!

It's Simeon.

Ding dong. Right on the mark.

I'm one of the four strongest members of Simeon.

Uten!

Simeon's Four Strongest: Uten

Simeon's Four Strongest: Uten

Simeon's Four Strongest: Uten

One of Simeon's four strongest members?

What's the matter, Yamada?

The four strongest members of Simeon...only four people...

Only four people, annihilated my comrades in an instant.

It's over...we're finished.

I want to ask that kid something,

so I'll have the girl meet her end here.

Illusion!

What was that attack?!

What did he...?

Eve-san!?

Eve-san!?

Too easy!

Now you're the only one left.

Tell me... Where is the priest who rescued you?

Wait.

How could you regain consciousness after that?

Your wounds are healing...

Transforming a portion of my body,

manipulating the cells,

and then sealing the wound.

Ah, I see.

You're a Needless too.

Could it have been you who beat Kafka, not the priest?

Who knows.

Eve-san, let's escape!

You have no chance against one of the four strongest members of Simeon!

Don't give me that shit!

Death to those who do not fight.

That's the rule of the Black Spot!

S-She did it...

It didn't reach him!?

Then...

What is this barrier!?

It's useless.

Even if you took out Kafka with it,

an attack like that won't reach me!

Bermuda Aspord!

Bermuda Aspord!

Eve-san!

A knife?

What the hell was that? I couldn't see the attack again...

Death to those who revolt against Simeon.

That's another rule of the Black Spot!

Nope.

Wrong!

It's so huge... but it wasn't there until just now!

I can provide some doves, too.

Oh yes... How about I cut your body in half next?

No tricks involved, of course.

The general rule is that Needless possess only one ability.

But he can...

Float freely in the air,

launch attacks at super speeds,

and even employ a barrier.

Creating objects from thin air...

It's almost like he's a...

God.

Ain't I pretty much one?

Have you heard about Missing Links?

Missing Links?

God made humans in its own image.

And those humans are now beginning to evolve.

Needless is the intermediate stage between humans and gods.

Those of the countless Needless who have reached the very pinnacle of evolution...

are called Missing Links.

Yes, such as myself.

In other words, I am the Needless who is closest to god.

We can't win...

It's all my fault... Because I got everyone involved...

Eve-san will be killed.

Do you now understand just what you people were rebelling against?

I shall ask you once more.

Where is the priest?

I've been tasked with killing him.

Even though Father is that strong...

there's no way he could beat this guy!

I won't tell you!

Then I'll search for clues on your corpse!

Doppelganger!

Doppelganger

Eve-san!

So you're using the Doppelganger to harden your body and defend against me.

How long can you last while using such a powerful skill?

What are you saying!?

The Doppelganger ability consumes enormous amounts of energy.

Your energy reserves must be just about depleted after all of the self-repair you've done.

It's about time!

Oh no, the Doppelganger!

Looks like your transformation's been blown.

Shit...

Needless are no better than humans if they cannot utilize their abilities.

Right now, you're no better than that brat.

Wha-

You are a true "Needless".

One who is unneeded.

Now for the finale!

What the hell!?

This is my ability.

Bermuda Asport Creation

Creation.

In the Atlantic Ocean, there's an area called the Bermuda Triangle where ships and planes are said to disappear.

In this area, it's possible to create and destroy objects freely.

It's a place where god's power of creation still exists.

Yes... I am a Needless with the ability to create.

I destroyed the floor and created a bed of nails in its place.

You're lying!

There's no way you could do something like this!

I told you.

I'm the Needless who is closest to God.

I'd love to play around some more,

but let's make this the last game, okay?

The rules are simple.

You have two options.

You can be battered to death where you stand,

or fall to the ground and be skewered.

What should I do?

What should I do?

Eve-san can't use her ability any longer!

We're going to die!

No! What can I do!?

The only thing you can do is fight.

I can... fight?

Yes, but I have my doubts about your strength.

So think!

Our enemy is nothing but a magician!

A magician?

Yes. Each Needless possesses only one ability.

There are no exceptions to this rule.

That's right... The enemy is a Needless!

He may seem almighty, but he has only one ability!

I survived by using my sister as a shield.

I don't want to experience something like that ever again!

Think!

I have to uncover the trick behind this magic!

Thinking time!

You don't even have enough power left to seal your wounds?

Damn it! Damn it! What is this!?

Floating in midair,

casting a barrier,

firing at rapid speeds,

freely creating objects...

There must be an ability that can do all of this!

Time up!

Hey, Yamada, don't you have anything we can use as a shield!?

Oh, uh, yes...

Right, something to use as a shield...

Something to use as a shield...

Eve-san, take this!

Huh?

Oh no, I've been tainted...

Yamada!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

How pathetic.

All right, struggle for me!

Even though there's no way a normal human can win against a Needless.

Much less a Missing Link like me!

Shut up!

It might turn out differently if you use magic, though.

You fucking brat!

There's no way I can figure it out...

The enemy is the Needless who is closest to god.

It's impossible to escape from him!

We're going to be killed!

What is this?

Isn't it obvious?

It's the drink!

That's not my point.

I get it!

Eve-san,

out figured the I trick!

Huh?

What the hell are you saying?!

Whatever, just look at this!

This is what it means.

I see.

So that's what it was...

Huh?

Hey, brat.

What was your name?

Uten.

Then I'll shorten it to Tanaka!

Huh?

Your little magic trick's been put out of commission.

Wha-?

The audience only treats the magician like a god until they figure out the trick.

And once the audience knows what's going on, they always have the same reaction.

Yamada, tell him what that is!

That's it?

You're saying that you've figured out my trick?

Then why don't you prove it!?

Let's go, Yamada.

Yes!

Here we go!

Stop! You'll be skewered!

You moron.

As I thought.

You didn't erase the floor.

You just made it invisible.

Your Fragment has the ability to make things invisible!

This explains how you made knives and hats appear from thin air.

You were really only making things that you had made invisible visible once more.

And you're not floating in midair, of course.

You're just standing on top of a floor that you made invisible.

You used only long range attacks,

while making the floor invisible,

in order to pin us in one spot, so that we couldn't close in on you.

Because, if we did, we'd find out that there's a floor beneath you!

Well done.

But how did you figure it out?

The drink that Yamada had turned the situation around.

Behind us, in one of your blind spots, some juice spilled.

And you forgot to erase it!

God damn!

We thought your attacks were super speed, since we couldn't see them.

But... But what's the point of all this!?

Even if you know what my ability does...

You're going to die, no matter what!

After all, you can't use your own ability anymore!

I wonder if that's true.

D-Doppelganger!

Why?

You shouldn't have any energy left to use your ability with!

Didn't I tell you?

This thing turned the situation around.

What could one drink like this do?

5000 kilocalories!

It-It has 5000 kilocalories!?

I don't drink that crap regularly because I love weird drinks or anything.

That's it! You use the calories in the drink to maintain your Doppelganger ability!

Since I got showered with a lot of that drink,

I'm quite stocked up on energy!

Die, Tanaka!

It's no use! You can't pierce my ultra-strength barrier-

She did it!

Her attack finally got through!

The effect of his invisibility ability is gone!

And your ultra-strength barrier was actually...

just a concrete wall!

If you know what the material is, it's easy to take care of.

Your ability was pretty boring, I have to say.

You third-rate magician

Stay away!

I'm... I'm...

The Needless closest to God!

Too bad.

The one your facing right now is God.

Judgment:

Judgment

Death Penalty!

Death Penalty

It looks like the Testament are gone now.

Now we can finally go home.

Man, I was sure we were gonna die.

By the way, does that mean that the metal ball and bed of nails were in the building to begin with?

Yeah.

But...

If they weren't...

There's no way that one brat could have lugged all of that stuff here by himself.

They're still nearby.

Enemies, that is.

Let's hurry home, Yamada.

Y-Yes!

All right, I'll have you lead me...

To the priest's whereabouts.

Leave it to a girl's style!

Admit it, we're strong, aren't we?

A cheating boy's attack!

Do it again, give me a proper kiss!

What do you want to do each day?

It's a good tempo.

Keep it up! That's the spirit!

Take your beating!

Say bye-bye to any selfish feelings!

Sill OK?

We're aiming for the next guy, Mr.scaredy cat.

Why not stop here? One strike and you're out.

Even though you're usually so cool,

you look so confused by these teasing words.

If you start to bore me, you'll be punished!

You've accidentally stepped into an aggressive zone!

And all sorts of troubles started happening!

We'll make a miracle happen in this jumping free zone!

Don't you agree? Not that we care though!

Leave it to a girl's style!

Admit it, we're strong, aren't we?

A cheating boy's attack!

Do it again, and give me a proper kiss!
