Original subtitles

Ost isn't the Spirit Tortoise's familiar, but the Spirit Tortoise itself?

Just think about it. It's obvious.

If she was a familiar, she would be like those bats and abominable snowmen.

I would be able to control her.

I'm surprised that this world's guardian beasts have this kind of feature.

But whatever.

Now why don't I end this?

The Spirit Tortoise's head and heart have regenerated!

And now, it is time.

To march alongside you was my greatest joy, Your Majesty.

A barrier?

In order to dispel it, both the Tortoise's head and heart

must be destroyed simultaneously.

It took enough souls to regenerate this fast?

Or so you would think!

Sir Itsuki!

These retards were so weak,

but the Holy Weapons were the real deal.

So I turned them into an auxiliary power supply for the Spirit Tortoise!

I'm going to milk them until they die!

How horrible!

So anyway, it's time to resume the hunt.

This is your reward for coming this far!

You'll get a close-up view as all of them get trampled!

Is that…

Fitoria?

What is she doing here?

Well, the thing is…

"Apologies for my tardiness."

"As the circumstances dictate…"

…I shall assist the Shield Hero.

The guardian beast…

I shall take the Spirit Tortoise's head.

"Match your timing with mine and destroy its heart," she says.

She must have known that the Spirit Tortoise…

That I could not fulfill my purpose.

I see.

Yes. The Filolial Queen.

Well, I'll just keep you guys from getting to the heart--

Hey!

Where's the real heart?

What? Oh, kiddo?

L'Arc?

All these brute force tactics, one after another.

This is why I hate muscle heads!

I swear upon my Vassal Weapon to end your barbarism.

What?

You guys are going to destroy this world anyway, right?

That's…

That's true.

Then isn't it better if I took every soul I could before that?

No problem, right?

Huge problem!

Our Vassal Weapons tell us not to let you do something so low!

Can't you hear yours say the same?

Unlike you, I'm not a slave to my Vassal Weapon.

I just use it when I want, and that's it!

Composition Form One: Bird of Flame!

Move!

And, of course,

I'm protected by the same barrier as the Spirit Tortoise's core.

Thanks to those three foolish Heroes' power!

And it takes power to play monster outside!

Sir Itsuki!

Damn!

It keeps repeating the same attacks.

That was pretty good.

All forces, withdraw.

But…

Queen Fitoria will not be able to fight as she wishes so long as we are here.

Yes, good.

Get as far away as possible.

Shooting Star Shield!

First Form: Wind Blade!

"Hurry and destroy the head and heart to break the barrier," she says!

We know that!

Is that the secret?

Then we're going to smash it right this time!

I'll set up the path to the heart now!

Like hell I'll let you go!

That's right.

The Spirit Tortoise's specialty, gravity manipulation.

I don't want you to think I'm relying on those three stooges' powers,

so I'll show you.

Isn't it beautiful?

This is the power of the souls that I used the Spirit Tortoise to collect!

Gosh, so scary!

Don't be so mad! See?

After I kill them, I'll take all the souls in this world and go home!

Stop…

Stop at once!

No way! I'm never going to!

Hey, come on.

Where's all the fight you had earlier?

Get up, or your lovely little friends are going to get flattened by me!

Master Naofumi…

Oh, but that would be a waste.

I'll just crush you flat, then take them to my world.

You bastard--

Stop that.

Take your foot off Master Naofumi!

She's crying!

The demi-human is crying! How cute!

None of this would have happened

if you had just killed the Spirit Tortoise's incarnation!

And you call yourself the Shield Hero? Lame!

Stop!

Stop it!

Shut up, you damn chicklet!

You love this retard that much?

Shut up and watch! He's going to be a puddle in a minute!

Stop it!

What?

You coward!

Rishia?

Rishia?

And who are you?

You were just standing around doing nothing,

trying to blend into the walls a minute ago.

Annoying.

That's right. I can't do anything.

I'm an annoyance.

That's why I know.

What? Know what…

Wait. Why can you walk?

You and I are the same.

What?

You can only rely on others' powers.

You yourself have nothing.

You're nothing!

Watch what you're spewing!

You can't understand how awesome I am!

I know.

You're actually weak.

That's why you put on an act and pretend to be strong.

Like a small animal trying to intimidate a predator!

What?

Rishia!

Oh, come on! You're nothing but talk!

Damn you!

Where the hell is she?

I'm weak too.

Both in body and mind.

I'm nothing compared to Naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo, and Ost.

But still, I will never lose to someone like you!

Shut up.

Rishia…

How is she…

Shield Hero.

I, the Spirit Tortoise,

command heaven and earth to break law and recombine, spitting up rot.

I grant you my power, the power of the Spirit Tortoise.

I, the Shield Hero, by the Spirit Tortoise,

command heaven and earth to break law and recombine, spitting up rot.

Dragon Vein, combine my power and the Heroes' powers.

As the source of your power, the Shield Hero commands you.

-Heed all of existence… -Where is she?

…and grant them power.

All Liberation Aura!

The highest-level magic in this world?

Now!

Thanks!

Filo! Go with them!

Okay!

Damn you!

Not on my watch--

The one you will fight…

is me.

How annoying!

What? Why are you coming with us, Filo?

I can talk to Fitoria!

Fitoria? The Filolial Queen?

I see!

Master Naofumi, are you all right?

Yes, I think so.

But look at her.

We could barely move even after borrowing Ost's power.

What's going on?

Only she could withstand that heavy gravity attack.

Is that what the old lady meant by being skilled at manipulating life force?

Damn you!

I told you, you rely completely on others' powers.

Your attacks are far too simple.

That's why even I can dodge them.

Oh, really? It's simple?

Thanks for the advice.

Now I'll kill you with my simple attacks!

Composition of Flame!

And you're wicked.

You're so twisted that you always try to fool others.

I shouldn't have fought like an idiot and done this from the start!

Taking hostages now is also what an idiot would do.

What?

What?

I do not wish to forgive you,

but if you surrender now, I will spare you.

Screw you, damn it!

If I have to do that,

then I would rather kill you and myself after that!

Rishia hasn't just learned to manipulate life force…

She's like a different person.

Shield Hero.

I ask you once more.

I beg you to kill me.

Okay, but…

Rishia is right.

Kyo Ethnina only knows how to lie.

What do you mean?

Is the real heart this much of a pain?

L'Arc, stop complaining! We need to destroy it now!

Fitoria says to hurry up too!

I know!

Is he going to use the souls he took?

If I dodge, the entire city will be annihilated.

A ritual spell?

Fan lady!

What is this?

Master told me to take it with me!

Really? That kiddo is good!

We move at once, Therese!

Yes.

Power of gems which fill this world…

Combination Form!

So it is not enough.

No.

You have done well!

Now!

Shining Stone: Blizzard!

Combination Form:

Reverse Hail Snow Moon Flower!

The barrier!

Damn it all!

Just kidding.

What?

Did you think I wouldn't have a backup plan in case this happened?

No way…

It's an emergency measure using the souls' power to protect the core,

but I have no choice!

As long as I can see you freaks writhe in despair…

Naofumi?

Kyo Ethnina only knows how to lie.

He must have another plan remaining.

When he reveals it,

destroy me, the other half of the core, with all of the power that you can muster.

Raphtalia, take care of everyone when I can't move anymore.

Yes.

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

Hey. No, you moron!

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

No!

Writhe in agony as you suffer…

and…

I have no hatred to break upon you.

Oh, what the hell?

Why would you even go this far just to stop?

You would even waste that scythe dude and fat chick's effort?

Seriously? You're kidding!

That is fine.

That is how the Shield Hero should be.

And now, it's time for my remaining power

to take shape in your shield.

THE SPIRIT TORTOISE HEART SHIELD HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

"Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield"?

Ost! What did you do?

No.

Don't…

Wait. No!

Don't!

Ost!

Ost!

Oh, man, now you've done it!

It's all gone up in smoke! Everything!

All the work I did, poof!

You…

That's just a lie.

I accomplished my real objective, so I'm good.

What the hell does that mean?

Remember the souls that were in the core?

You think they would go to heaven if you smashed it?

Too bad! To prevent that from happening,

I put all the souls I needed into here!

Well, I'm going now.

That is…

Shield Hero!

And you, Green-Haired Girl!

I'm going to make sure to kill you both!

Enjoy life while you can.

Why, you…

Damn!

Ost, why did you…

You weren't swallowed by rage and hate.

That's why the Spirit Tortoise Heart Shield was unlocked.

I don't understand. Explain it to me, please.

You don't need to use that frightening shield filled with hatred.

The Wrath Shield?

You feel sorrow for my death,

the Spirit Tortoise that took the lives of so many.

You are full of kindness, Shield Hero. Please, never forget your kind heart.

No…

-I'm not kind at all-- -Kiddo!

It seems that this is connected to our world.

But it will close soon.

From here on, it is our job.

We shall defeat Kyo

and return the stolen souls to this world.

Yes. Just leave it to us.

See you.

THE FOUR CARDINAL HEROES CANNOT ENTER OTHER WORLDS

What the hell?

Please go.

SPECIAL PERMISSION FOR LIMITED ACCESS TO OTHER WORLDS HAS BEEN GRANTED

Hurry, or it will close.

-Ost… -Ost…

Raphtalia! Filo!

What are you doing? Let's go!

It's a request from our friend!

We can't leave it to that L'Arc!

Rishia, you stay with Itsuki--

No!

I'm your friend, as well as Ost's!

I will go with you!

Friend…

You would call me your friend?

If I can be reborn, I pray I can be a true friend.

And I pray…

that where the Shield Hero's party goes,

great blessings will follow.
