Original subtitles

A Black Star...

Type 54...

That gun...

Why...?

Why is it showing up here now?

Without a second thought, right now

Mayowazu ni ima

Take aim at this paradox-ridden world

Mujun darake no sekai wo

And fire with your own two hands

Sono te de uchi hanate

Thanks to the warmth of your falling tears

Koboreta namida no nukumori de

I thought that I'd realized what kindness was

Yasashisa wo shitta hazu nano ni

So why do we keep hurting each other

Doushite mata kizu tsuke atte

And create even more hatred?

Nikushimi wo umi dashite yukundarou

If this pain that grates on me

Kishimu you na itami

The strength that I've discovered

Shitta sono tsuyosa ga

Will someday gently envelop the future

Itsuka mirai wo yasashiku tsutsumu no nara

Without a second thought, right now

Mayowazu ni ima

Take aim at this paradox-ridden world

Mujun darake no sekai wo

And fire with your own two hands

Sono te de uchi hanate

Take this sorrow drenched with red tears

Akai namida de oowareta kanashimi wo

And embrace it tenderly

Sotto sotto daki shimete

So that these blasts ringing out

Nari hibiita shoudou ga

Will be transformed into the sounds of a new beginning

Hajimari no oto ni kawaru you ni

The meaning of strength...

What it means to fight...

I thought I'd be able to keep watching Kirito to understand those things someday...

I don't want to have to give up!

A grenade?

Kirito...

You've done enough.

Leave me behind.

Don't go for the horse.

It's good over all kinds of terrain, but it's too difficult to handle.

Sinon!

Destroy the horse with your rifle!

O-Okay.

I'll give it a shot.

Why?

I can't pull it...

Why?!

I can't pull the trigger!

Sinon, hang on!

We can get away...

Damn, we can't relax yet.

How?

He's gonna catch up...

Go faster!

Please, faster!

No!

I'm scared...

Help...

Help me...

Sinon.

Do you hear me, Sinon?!

Sinon, he'll catch up at this rate.

You have to shoot him.

I can't!

You don't need to hit him.

Just distract him!

I can't!

He's...

He's...

Then you drive!

I'll use your rifle instead!

Hecate...

It's my other half...

I'm the only one who can handle it.

I can't shoot...

I can't do it...

My finger won't move.

I...

can't fight anymore.

You're wrong.

Everyone is capable of fighting.

But it's up to you whether or not you choose that path.

If that's true, then I choose not to fight.

I don't want to keep suffering like I have...

I've been fooling myself into thinking I could become strong in this world.

I'll lend you a hand.

One shot is enough, so please... Pull the trigger!

It's no good!

The bike's shaking too much for me to lock on...

Don't worry.

That'll stop in five seconds.

Two...

One...

Now!

How can you stay so calm in this situation?

No... it's not about his composure.

He's just giving it his all.

Every moment, he chooses to fight with everything he's got instead of making excuses to himself.

That's the key to his strength.

We missed.

Oh boy...

In a wide-open space like this,

there's no place to hide.

There's probably a cave over there.

The satellite scan will miss us if we're inside.

All right, let's go.

For now, let's stay put and avoid the next scan.

He suddenly popped up next to you earlier, didn't he?

Does that mantle actually have the ability to make him invisible?

Is that how he avoided detection by the satellite?

That's probably it.

It's an ability called Metamaterial Optical Camo.

I think we'll be fine here.

With this coarse sand around,

we'd hear him coming and see his footprints regardless.

He won't be able to get the jump on us like before.

I see.

We'd better keep an ear out for him, then.

Say...

Do you think...

Is there any chance Death Gun died in that explosion?

No.

I caught a glimpse of him jumping off the robotic horse right before the truck blew up.

I doubt he got away unscathed,

but it shouldn't have been fatal.

I see.

Back there at the stadium, how did you manage to come save me so quickly?

You were above the perimeter of the stadium, weren't you?

I knew at first glance that we were wrong about Musketeer X being Death Gun.

How?

I mean, she was clearly a girl.

Oh?

At that moment, I knew we'd overlooked something important.

By the way, seems like her name's read in English even though it's written in Japanese.

After I somehow managed to beat her, I took a look south from up there,

only to see you collapsed on the ground.

I knew you were in trouble, so I picked up Musketeer's rifle and smoke grenade,

and rushed to your aid with them.

If only I'd been more careful...

You don't need to beat yourself up over it.

I didn't notice he was hiding, either.

If we'd swapped who went where,

I'd have been the one hit by the stun bullet.

In that case, you'd have been the one to save me.

Right?

I'm being consoled by my own rival.

He knows I've fallen apart and lost my confidence...

and is cheering me up like I'm a child.

Well, I'll be off, then.

It'd do you good to rest here for a little longer.

Normally I'd ask you to go log out,

but you can't do that during the tournament.

You're going to fight alone?

Against Death Gun?

Yeah.

He's definitely strong.

To be honest, I doubt I can beat him before he can get a shot off.

The next time he points that gun at me, I might abandon you and run away.

So I can't risk letting you come with me anymore.

Does he frighten even you?

Yeah, he does.

The old me might've been able to fight while staring death in the face.

But now, there are far too many things I must protect.

I don't want to die. I can't afford to.

Things you want to protect?

Yeah.

In both the virtual and real worlds.

Then can't you just keep hiding in this cave?

It's impossible to log out the usual way during BoB,

but if we and one other player are the only ones left,

we could commit suicide and make that other person the winner.

The tournament could end that way.

I see.

True, that's certainly an option.

But it's not one that I can accept.

If I leave him be until the tournament ends,

there's no telling how many others will face that gun of his.

I see.

As I thought, you are strong.

I won't run.

I'll come along and fight, too.

You can't, Sinon.

If you get shot by him, you might actually die.

I'm a total close combat type, so I'm better off.

If he uses his cloaking to close in on you and take you by surprise,

you'll be in far greater danger!

I don't care if I die.

I was scared out of my mind earlier.

I was afraid of dying.

I've become even weaker than I was five years ago.

My screaming was pathetic.

I'd rather die than continue living like that.

It's only natural to be scared.

There isn't anyone who isn't afraid of death.

I hate being afraid.

I'm sick of living in fear.

I'm not going to ask you to cooperate or anything.

I can fight on my own, after all.

So you're trying to tell me you're going to fight and die alone?

Yes. That's probably been my fate all along.

Let go of me.

I have to go.

You're wrong.

It's impossible for a person to die alone.

When you die, the part of you that lives in those you've touched also passes away.

You're living within me too.

I don't recall ever asking for that.

I've never bonded like that with anyone before.

Don't you see we've already made that connection?!

If that's the case...

In that case, protect me for the rest of my life!

You don't know anything about me!

You can't do anything for me!

So don't run your mouth like that!

This is...

This is my fight, not anyone else's!

Even if I lose and die,

nobody has the right to criticize me for it!

Or are you going to bear my burdens with me?!

My... My...

hand is a murderer's...

Will you still hold onto it?!

Murderer...

Murderer...

Murderer...

Murderer!

Murderer!

You murderer!

Don't touch us, you murderer!

You'll get blood on us!

Murderer!

Don't look this way.

Murderer.

Murderer!

I hate you!

I hate your guts!

I hate everything about you...

but let me lay my head on you for a bit.

You know, I've...

killed someone before.

Five years ago,

someone tried to rob the post office in a small town in Tohoku.

According to the news,

the culprit died from an accidental discharge of his gun.

But the truth is, I took the robber's gun from him...

and shot him to death.

Five years ago?

I was eleven at the time.

Ever since then, I throw up and faint any time I so much as see a gun.

Seeing a gun makes me recall the face of the man I killed...

and it's frightening.

Absolutely terrifying.

But...

Right.

In this world, it's different for me.

That's why I thought to myself,

"If I become the strongest in this world, I'll surely...

become stronger in the real world too.

And I'll be able to leave that memory behind."

And yet, earlier...

Back when Death Gun attacked me,

I was so afraid...

I stopped being "Sinon" and reverted back into the real me.

Of course I'm afraid of dying.

But, the thing is...

I'm just as afraid to keep living in fear.

If I keep running from Death Gun and that memory without putting up a fight,

I'm sure I'll become even weaker than I was before.

So...

So...

I've...

I've...

killed someone, too.

Remember what I said before?

I know the guy in the mantle,

Death Gun, from a previous encounter in another game.

That game was...

Sword Art Online.

So you really are...

Yeah.

I'm one of the so-called SAO survivors.

And Death Gun's another one.

He was a red player and a member of the murderers' guild, Laughing Coffin.

One day, a large force was gathered to haul them in and bring them to justice.

I was a part of that expedition.

But the plan was leaked,

and they got the jump on us instead.

In the ensuing chaos,

I killed two Laughing Coffin members...

with my own two hands.

But I forced myself to forget what I'd done then.

when I met Death Gun.

So Death Gun was one of the players in Laughing Coffin you fought that day?

Yes.

He's got to be one of the members who survived the battle and was sent to prison.

That's why...

I have no choice but to settle matters with him here...

Here in this world.

I wished so hard to become stronger than ever

Motto tsuyoku sou tsuyoku naritai to negatta

Overcoming my grief

Kanashimi wo koete

I've turned my back so many times

Kawaru koto nai kako ni

On the past that will never change

Nando mo se wo muketeta

While hiding the scars I can never show anyone

Dare ni mo miserare nai kizu wo kakushita mama zutto

I will embrace all this pain that has started flooding through me

Afure dashita kono itami wa subete hitori de daki shimeru

I don't need warmth at all

Itsuka kieru nukumori nara

If it will vanish one day

Hitotsu mo iranai yo

I wished so hard to become stronger than ever

Motto tsuyoku sou tsuyoku naritai to negatta

Like a lonely star racing across the darkness

Kurayami wo kakeru kodoku na hoshi no you ni

Sunk so deep inside my heart, I'm so weak and fragile

Kokoro fukaku shizumeta yowakute moroi jibun

I can't put it into words, or even speak out

Kotoba ni dekinakute koe ni mo naranakute

I'm just waiting for the light

Kitto dare ni mo mitsukara nai you ni

Trying not to be found by anyone

Tada hikari wo matteru
