Original subtitles

Your Majesty,

please pardon me saying this,

but you need not go yourself.

The fate of the kingdom, no, the world hangs in the balance.

I have not grown so old as to sit and wait for a report.

As you will.

It will be a great burden on you.

No, we support Your Majesty because you are such.

We embark now to subdue the traitor,

Pope Bisca T. Barmas, and his followers!

Yes!

Prepare to march!

Draw your horses!

Please hang on until we arrive, Shield Hero, Melty.

Behold our advanced group defensive spell, Grand Cathedral!

Thunderbolt Slash!

Thunder Arrow!

Filo! Raphtalia!

-Yes! -Yes!

High Quick!

...and heal the one I will!

Zweit Heal!

Filo, one more time!

Okay!

Bring Motoyasu!

What?

Sir Motoyasu!

Zweit Aqua Shot!

Sister, stay focused!

Motoyasu, when we get near the Pope, you attack me!

What? What are you--

Do it!

-Now! -If you say so!

Eat this!

The curse was dispelled?

Curses are useless in my Grand Cathedral.

This is a sanctuary blessed by God.

That thing is too strong!

Do you hear me, Bishop?

In order to execute the Will of God, we require yet stronger prayers.

But a third of the faithful have nearly exhausted their mana.

If they continue, their lives may be in danger.

I see no problem.

This is a battle between God and the Devil.

To become a martyr here is the greatest joy of a true believer.

As you will.

Believers! Pray yet stronger for His Holiness!

How can he treat the people who believe in him like that?

Because they'll keep following him anyway!

Yes. They and I are of one body and mind.

With the power of their prayers and the ultimate skills of this ultimate weapon,

we shall exorcise you thoroughly and completely.

It is the greatest mercy God can grant.

I have a bad feeling...

He keeps accumulating mana.

If the light reaches the tip of the ceiling...

He'll unleash a powerful skill, is that it?

Hey, can you do something with your shield?

What?

I mean, your shield's basically cheating.

Look here...

It does seem like it.

Your level is far lower than ours, but you fight just as well because of that shield.

You guys just can't use your weapons right!

Does it have any special skills?

Of course, it doesn't have--

What's going on?

SKILL TREE - UNLOCK BONUS

The Curse Series Shields are of a cursed power.

Don't use them anymore.

Naofumi?

It's a big gamble, but maybe this one can do it.

See? I told you!

You'll use that power again?

Yes.

I was fine last time.

I'll come back this time too.

Yes. I believe you.

Me too!

So you have freed me from my prison!

Allow the anger to envelop you, and you will feel no pain.

I refuse!

I'll never be crushed by your anger!

This anger is not only mine, not only the dragon's.

It springs forth from within you as well!

What does that--

Anger at being framed.

Anger at your disgrace and humiliation.

Anger at not being given a chance

to defend yourself and being made a criminal.

All of this anger is your anger.

My anger?

All of your anger, your hate...

Let it all be known now!

All of it...

Unleash all of your anger upon the world now!

I will give you the power to do so.

Power!

No, I can't let it control me!

This power...

Remember how sweet it tasted.

The power of the cursed flame.

The power to subordinate, violate, and annihilate your enemies.

It felt wonderful, did it not?

It fulfilled you, did it not?

It...

Be angry!

Desire power!

And burn all into naught!

Burn...

Burn everything!

Good!

Good, human!

Your hate can surpass even mine!

Hey, Naofumi...

You haven't really turned into a Shield Demon, have you?

Master Naofumi!

Burn it...

If I burn everything, it'll be over...

Master Naofumi!

I can let the anger overcome me and destroy everything...

Master!

I have the power to do that.

With this power, I can...

Naofumi!

Shut up!

Stay out of my way!

Do you really hate everything, Master?

What's this voice?

Did our journey together mean nothing?

Journey?

At first, I was very scared.

I thought you would treat me like a thing like the others had.

But you took care of me.

You looked after me.

You scolded and protected me.

That's why I vowed to stay by you forever.

You know, you raised me ever since I just hatched!

All the fun and happy times with my cart were all thanks to you, Master!

You gave me all the things I love!

You never listen to anything I have to say and always make fun of me.

But you protected me like you promised,

and you treat me not as a princess but as a human being.

I was happy.

That's right. I was on a journey...

with my beloved friends that I swore I would protect.

You never say anything, and we never know what you're thinking...

...but we know that you love us very much.

I love you, Master.

So all the feelings you don't like,

I'll eat them, okay?

Naofumi, I'll accept all of your pain.

Master Naofumi, I'll cut through all of your sorrow.

Because I am your sword.

Master Naofumi!

You guys!

Oh, good. You've come back to us.

Master...

You always have to be so difficult.

I'm sorry. I hurt you again--

It wasn't a mistake.

The path you chose, the journey we traveled...

It wasn't a mistake.

Raphtalia...

I'll eat all the feelings you don't like as much as you need!

Filo...

Now, if you understand, come up with a plan.

We're still in the middle of a battle.

I understand, Melty.

Are you okay?

It doesn't look like you're going berserk like you did in the last Wave.

I need your help.

Help?

Please.

I'm shocked that I'd ever hear those words from you.

Can we win?

I don't know, but it's worth a shot.

Okay.

I said it was a co-op fight from the start.

Motoyasu.

I...

Fine! I'll help you!

I have to prove that love and friendship always win!

It seems you've come up with some fool ploy,

but I have completed my preparations.

It is now the end for you, Shield Demon!

You may be the Shield Demon,

but you can't stop a blow with the full power of the Grand Cathedral.

All power comes at a price.

If the power of your God costs the lives of your believers,

then your life alone is too small a price!

That shield!

Let's go!

-Yes! -Yes!

-Yes! -Yes!

Thunder Arrow!

I'm not done yet!

Wind Arrow!

Zweit Aqua Shot!

-Zweit Air Shot! -Zweit Air Shot!

Don't give him a chance to recover!

High Quick!

I won't fall for the same trick!

We're just a diversion!

Shooting Star Sword!

Ren and Raphtalia, draw his attention in close quarters.

Meanwhile...

Zweit Power!

I have to do as Naofumi says?

Dammit!

Taste my anger!

Air Strike Javelin!

"Love and friendship always win," you said?

Shut up!

Just smash his face in already!

You will be purified by the purgatorial flame!

Nothing of you will remain!

Phoenix Blade!

By the power we bear, the Shield Hero and Filo command you...

...heed our law, and consume fire to become our strength!

-Wrath Fire! -Wrath Fire!

We did it!

Now we all go in at once!

Yes!

Wait, hold up!

Something's wrong...

Chaos Spear!

Battle Trance.

What?

Motoyasu!

That was an advanced spear skill! A counter technique!

That weapon lets him use advanced skills too?

For the sin of rebelling against God,

purification is far too light a penance!

What's going on?

Stay away!

No! Stop!

Stop it!

Damn!

What's going on?

What's this?

Illusions!

He's using a skill to show us illusions!

God has no mercy to grant you!

Only eternal despair! May these illusions crush you!

Everyone! Keep it together--

Master Naofumi!

Raphtalia!

SKILL WRATH SHIELD: RAGE ARMOR ACTIVATED

Not even ashes will remain! Complete annihilation!

Not even a trace of your existence will be left!

By the power the Queen bears, she commands you,

heed my law, and freeze the one I will in a cage of ice.

All Dritte Fall, Icicle Prison!

Impossible!

Casting a spell into my Grand Cathedral?

Now! Defeat him!

SKILL WRATH SHIELD: RAGE ARMOR ACTIVATED

SKILL WRATH SHIELD: BLOOD SACRIFICE ACTIVATED

My judgment upon this foolish sinner is to scream as a sacrifice to God!

By the jaws of a dragon born from my flesh and blood,

be sacrificed in suffering and agony!

Blood Sacrifice!

This...

Why...

No less from a demon.

You were consumed and killed by your own power.

Give thanks for God's mercy, that you, an accursed demon, will be exorcised!

Why?

Why is this happening to me?

I am the Hand of God!

I am the Pope!

No!

Did we win?

Impossible.

The Grand Cathedral.

His Holiness.

The battle has been decided!

Surrender yourselves at once!

So that's the Queen's army?

Yes.

Master Naofumi!

Stay with us!

Master!

He's lost so much blood!

That skill he used!

Naofumi may have given his life for it!

No.

Master Naofumi!

Master Naofumi!

Master, say something!

Don't die, Naofumi!

We shall not allow the Shield Hero to perish.

Mother?

We apologize for arriving so late.

Shield Hero, Naofumi Iwatani.

Who are you?

I am the Queen of Melromarc,

Mirellia Q. Melromarc.
