Original subtitles

Contrary to disappointing behaviors

desires come in minority.

Evade the dripping and splashing morals,

and keep your hands dry.

Talking about the Scarlet Bomb.

Deep in the Scarlet Bomb.

You taste the sense of laziness with gazes as sharp as knives.

It's Eve's original sin.

It's so calm, so violent and so painful.

How many times does this make?

It's so hot that I'm so cold.

An inconceivable eternal world.

Bite your nails, the stars are close.

You can see them, but I won't show them to you.

You make up endless and no life us.

The inconceivable demon sisters.

There are dreams that can even trick time.

The moment you're born, you fall into love.

With the Scarlet Bomb.

La-la-la-love with the Scarlet Bomb.

The Committee Of 666

No! Stay away from him, Blade!

Agh... damn!

What a pity.

Looks like we won't be witnessing the energy output from a reverse rejection reaction.

A-79's is pretty lucky himself.

My head's gonna explode! What the hell was all that shit!?

It was a repeat performance of events that took place in the past. There's no other explanation!

Then Arclight's true form is what we saw just now?

Yes. He was the Adam Project's 78th specimen.

Gido!

Where did I go wrong? How did I raise him to become that?

Wow... way to completely miss the point...

You know, I've been wondering why you piss me the hell off.

I guess we've had a grudge against each other since we were born, huh?

My big brother, the failed experiment!

A failure? I wouldn't exactly call an incomplete test subject such as yourself a success...

My foolish little brother.

Reverse rejection reactions consist of three stages.

First, once it is certain that multiple entities possessing the powers and bodies of god are in simultaneous existence,

chaos erupts in the space-time continuum.

Natural laws dictate that only one god should exist in any given space-time continuum.

If two coexist, then it is assumed that there is a flaw in space-time, and their memories will be examined.

And, when that happens, something similar to a movie will be broadcast throughout their immediate surroundings.

After the possibility of an error in space-time has been eliminated,

the next stage will begin.

Looks like fusing with you healed my wound.

Furthermore, I've memorized all of your Fragments!

Take this!

Heat Explosion!

He got him!

No, look closely!

There's no fire!

Once I take your body, I will finally become a complete god.

Kandata String!

Arclight can't use his powers either!

What's going on?

The second stage is sealing their Fragments, the source of their godly powers.

No way! He was at a disadvantage to begin with, and now he can't even use his Fragment!

Wrong.

Now's your chance, Blade!

Now that your Fragments are sealed, the gap in your abilities has vanished!

Right! If you can't use Fragments, then all you've got is brute strength!

It's just a battle of stamina!

Go get him, Blade!

Sure!

Once they have lost their godly powers, all that remains is their godly bodies.

And thus, the reverse rejection reaction shall move to its final stage.

The conversion of matter into energy, right?

Right.

One of the godly entities shall remain while the other shall be converted into energy.

This is the phenomenon which annihilated the research facility.

The one left is most likely the one closer to being a god, since he will have a higher concentration of Eden's Seeds.

That would be Arclight in this case, I presume?

The reverse rejection reaction we saw just now ended before it could enter the final stage, correct?

I would have loved to have seen it. What a shame.

You'd probably be disappointed.

We learned from the last reverse rejection reaction and installed special equipment in the building.

A field generator, eh?

If I remember correctly, that's a device which creates a special field that absorbs any energy emitted within it...

He did it!

He can beat him!

After the last reverse rejection reaction, we recovered A-78, sans his powers.

However, the fact that he had survived at all provided us with the motivation to continue the project.

The government had no choice but to call a halt to the Adam Project, which had attracted the public eye.

However, Simeon Pharmaceuticals, the organization we founded, carried on the research.

And all of this was for the sake of creating a world controlled by the Triple Six for all eternity.

Don't bullshit us.

You just want to live forever.

There's no reason to hide it now.

I despise each and every last Needless, for they stole the power of god - the power that belongs to me.

How can that be?

Didn't the Second willingly give away his powers on the verge of death in order to bring happiness to humankind?

Willingly?

A god has no need to exert himself so in order to sow the seeds of destruction.

There was once a man who owned a treasure chest.

He wished to bring happiness to all the land with the contents of that chest.

However, the man was beset by reprobates, and the jewels within his chest scattered to the ground.

Those who had gathered around him hesitated not to take the jewels for themselves and scatter into the wind.

Each of them took only one...

At long last, the man escaped the clutches of his tormentors, and embarked upon a journey to recover the jewels.

Dead, but reborn as a clone.

A-78 was obsessed with collecting all of the Fragments.

We decided to make use of that obsession.

We made him head of Simeon and assisted his hunt for the Fragments with the stipulation that he pursued immortality.

Needless Hunting, wasn't it?

However, he gathered a group of his own followers and began to ignore our instructions.

A god that do not follow orders is useless... or, rather, an obstacle.

It was the same with The Second.

Fortunately, we discovered a chess piece capable of neutralizing Arclight's powers.

I understand now.

You're using those petty thieves as an excuse to keep living!

You worthless wimp!

It was indeed a blessing.

We managed to find A-79.

We had believed that he had been caught in the explosion and destroyed without a trace.

You're forgetting that A-79 was a weakling when we found him. He wasn't even at the level of a Missing Link.

Why, we didn't even know if he would be able to cause a reverse rejection reaction with Arclight.

It was tough...

I had to level him up without his friends or enemies noticing.

A-79 managed to cause a reverse rejection reaction with Arclight, and Arclight lost his powers as a result.

Die, you piece of shit!

Allow me to demonstrate the difference between us.

What!?

This is the difference between an incomplete clone and a god!

Father!

Blade!

They're almost done.

Well, of course. As he said, A-79 is but an incomplete clone.

He even lacks abilities which all of the Adam Series should possess.

That said... Arclight may be a clone of god, but it won't be difficult to defeat him in this state.

It's your turn, Saten.

As the new leader of Simeon, dispose of the old one for us.

No, wait a second.

I can't believe that you still have your regenerative ability.

Regeneration is as simple as moving my hands and feet to me. I can never lose the ability to do so.

As I suspected... He's possessed the power of Doppelganger since he was born, just like Positive Feedback Zero!

I see. Guess a god's gotta have a few tricks up his sleeve.

That makes things simple!

I just have to beat the shit out of you so fast that your ability can't keep up!

A-79 is rather persistent as well.

Why are you shivering?

Hey, don't you think it's a bit cold in here?

That's strange... the air conditioner should be working properly.

What's the meaning of this?

They're gonna settle things in there soon enough, so I think it's about time for me to settle things in here.

What do you think you're doing!? We're going to make you the leader of Simeon!

And you'd dispose of me if I ever did something not to your liking.

I bet you've prepared a replacement for me already, right?

You'll die if you don't receive periodic maintenance from us!

Oh, don't worry about that. I figured something out.

That's right!

Eve Neuschwanstein survived along with A-79 and Rikudou.

I made sure to examine her thoroughly when she was brought here earlier.

I found out that I don't need your maintenance as long as I have her Doppelganger.

I'm done with you.

We're the ones who saved you from the explosion!

Indeed. You injected me with the Eden's Seeds and gave me one of these crystals...

so that you could use me as a new link in the Adam Series.

Shit! God damn it!

My dreams!

Let me give you a word of warning.

If you want to take over the world, you'll have to kill A-79, Adam Blade first.

There's a dangerous look in his eyes. The look of a demon.

Thank you for the warning.

This is all but a game for the purposes of collecting all of the Fragments!

Don't play games for more than an hour a day!

This is some battle!

This has nothing to do with gods or Needless anymore!

Blade, what were you born to accomplish?

Isn't it obvious!?

I was born to fuck you up!

I can't believe you fell for the oldest trick in the book.

Gods are so kind.

B-bastard...

Keep this in mind, God.

If they're both the same level, there's no way a god can beat a demon!

The shelter's protective glass...

It's gonna break!

It's over, Arclight!

Arclight-sama!

It is true that my body cannot continue to regenerate using its reserve strength while my Fragment is sealed.

However, you made a mistake.

What!?

You didn't take into account the reason why I held this event in the first place.

You just lost the astronomically small chance that you had to defeat me!

Don't tell me...

What is it?

Arclight intends to swallow the crowd below!

What?

Did you forget?

He did it before, when we entered the building.

But he shouldn't have abilities left except for regeneration...

No, this is a part of his regenerative ability!

If he swallows that many people...

You have no hope of defeating me!

Shut the fuck up, dead man!

What?

I can't let you do that, Arclight.

This is where the anime breaks off from the manga. To continue the manga story, read from chapter 50.

Why are you here?

Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to say my goodbyes.

Goodbyes?

I'd like everyone to hear them, actually.

Saten!

Where has he been all this time?

That's...

What's wrong, Yamada?

Isn't this situation strange?

What part of it?

He's floating in the air.

Saten's Fragment is The Fourth Wave. He shouldn't be able to do that.

Saten. Are you planning to interfere?

Well, to be honest, yeah.

I won't let you!

You're a pain in my neck too.

This is true Psychokinesis!

Bermuda Spot? Impossible!

You even know Kandata String! Why!?

Lemme show you.

A Byakugo?

Sorry about hiding it from you, bro.

I've got the Zero Fragment too, of course.

I managed to pick up quite a few Fragments from you.

Settle down and watch.

Saten!

Are you a spy from Triple Six!?

Takes one to know one, I see.

People can always tell when someone's in the same line of work as them.

Actually, though, I just finished cutting my ties with Triple Six.

Saten, what are you planning-

Oh yeah. I'm gonna have to retire that Saten name.

Let me tell you my real name.

Your real name?

My name is Kannazuki. Kannazuki Kyouji.

Kannazuki Kyouji!?

Where have I heard that name before...?

He was Dr. Gido's assistant.

He was in charge of the Eve Project.

I see.

No wonder his name sounded so familiar.

But didn't he die in the explosion at the research facility?

As you can see, I didn't.

It's been a while, Dr. Gido.

I look a little different now, but I'm definitely your old assistant, Kannazuki.

You're alive...

All right, Arclight.

Time to say goodbye to everyone.

Prepare to leave this mortal coil!

Are you thinking of killing a god?

You're not a god. You're just a clone.

You also have a defect in your heart.

Agnishwattas.

Arclight-sama!

Farewell, A-78.

Arclight-sama...

What are you planning?

Hey, you owe me one. Come on, at least say thank you.

Although, that geezer from Triple Six did tell me I should kill you first.

Bastard...

Fourth...

... Wave.

Come here! I'll give you a hug!

You won't escape, wanted boy!

You are on my wanted list.

Nobody can stop us!

Yo!

You're important.

I can't stay calm!

You're gone!

I'm really going to cry!

It's not funny!

So many bad things!

Did I make too much fun of you?

Figure it out!

I love you!

Wow!

Don't think I'll let you get away with this! You made me say it!

Yeah!

I have to catch you if I want you by my side!

I'll have to keep punishing you over and over again.

Let's make handcuffs and wear them forever!

Clunk!

Getting rejected is part of love!

Yes!

Baby, I'm not listening to what you're saying!

Baby!

How's it going? Let's play some more! Hope you're not tired!

How's it going?

How's it going?

Recover HP!

Switch to Warrior class.

Yeah!

Hating hate is love, right?

Yes!

I'm getting dizzy. Baby, are you confused?

Baby!

I've set traps for you.

You're so cute that you fell for them.

Don't be afraid of what's to come.

I want to be nice to you.

I wrote "I'm sorry" with my finger on your quivering back

Is this youth?

Wake up, I want to hug you!

I won't let you go, wanted boy.

Due to circumstances, you're wanted!

Nobody can stop me!

Yes!

Preview

Mio, Kuchinashi! Time to move out.

Huh? You mean we're still needed?

Can't you see what's going on!?

A stranger is making a speech!

Kannazuki... Must be a new character.

So...was I just the bandage guy to you?

Saten
