Units 1 and 2, maintain current approach.
We’re sending out radar unit 82 ahead of you on run way B.
Helicopter 23 to base. Helicopter 23 to base.
We’ve gotten the civilian news copters out of the area.
Impossible to use the JR Shinjuku station.
One rail line from Yoyogi is still operational.
Metro highway out bound lines 4 and 6 from the city area are secure.
Troops from Nerima should be on site in 5 minutes.
All inbound highways are closed…
…but we can still move emergency vehicles in on the outbound lanes…
…of the Toumei from Yokohama and the Touhoku from Iwaki.
We have to evacuate the civilians to outside of the number 7 ring line.
Just keep the power supply on! Keeping the subways going comes first!
It was the endless battle of blue sorrow versus red heartbreak…
Tamahome…
There’s still a lot of things I have left to do in my life.
So I turned around and came back here!
Everyone, protect Miaka! This guy…
…I get to kill!
Don’t be so annoyingly enthusiastic, boy.
I hope you don’t simply assume victory…
…just because you’ve managed to summon Suzaku.
Let me show you.
Why they call Seiryu the god of battle!
Tamahome!
Everyone! Help him! We have to give our life force to Tamahome!
Miaka, grab on to this.
Send our life force to Tamahome!
You have to be the one to send it to him!
Die.
Tamahome!
Nuriko, I can feel it.
Your strength… You saved me.
And His Highness’s gentleness. And this…? Chichiri…
Right. I understand. Don’t let myself get lost.
Chiriko’s wisdom. Tasuki’s courage.
Mitsukake… Thank you.
I won’t lose.
Not as long as I have your souls with me.
And you, Miaka…
As long as I have your love with me!
USELESS!
I wondered how powerful it would be.
But, in the end, this is all your “friendship” is capable of.
It’s no use. He’s too powerful!
Miaka.
Can’t you seal Seiryu away?
That’d be tough, you know? Unlike when Yui warded Suzaku…
…Seiryu’s already appeared, you know?
The scroll I got from Taiitsukun… It contains holy power.
If we can seal Seiryu into this, then…
Forget it, you idiot! If we let her do that now…!
I know. I’ve healed the wounds on her body…
…but I can’t do anything about Suzaku inside of her.
With Suzaku still inside of me, if I ask for another wish…
…I’ll be completely devoured.
Chiriko, give it to me!
Kaijin!
I won’t lose! I swear I won’t lose to you!
Seal Seiryu away!
Mother?
— Look! They’re Hin tribesmen. — Stay away from them!
Why, Mother? Why do they hate us?
We’ve never done anything to them…
No! No!
Nakago! Nakago!
Hurry! Hurry, run!
Mother!
Mother…!
One of the Seiryu Seven? This child?
Yes, Highness!
He blasted five soldiers and his own mother to ashes in an instant.
He isn’t dangerous, is he?
We’re safe, Highness. Ever since then, he’s been like this.
Even with all the power he has…
He almost looks like a girl. Such a pretty face he has.
I like him. Leave him with me.
Oh, how sweet.
His Highness has a lovely new toy now, hasn’t he?
What are you talking about?
He’s one of the seven Celestial Warriors who will protect the Priestess of Seiryu.
Until then, we must take very good care of him.
By the time the priestess appears… By that time…
…I will have complete mastery of my powers.
And then, some day, I will change everything.
Upon the heavens, which have given me only hell…
…I shall have my revenge!
Nakago…
Damn you… Don’t go sneaking peeks into the hearts of others.
Why didn’t you dodge me?
Won’t you please stop?
Don’t waste your childish feelings on me.
Seiryu is sealed away.
The power of Suzaku you have is stronger.
And the strong win.
That’s all.
How bitter this is…
My ambitions, ended by a naive fool like you…
Mother! MOTHER!!!
I’m not crying for you. Don’t take this the wrong way.
I’m glad I did it.
Tamahome…
I didn’t lose. I didn’t lose.
I wasn’t devoured by the god beast.
TAMAHOME!
Miaka!
It’s all over… Guys!
What’s going on here?
Yeah, really. How did you all do this?
It was me!
Taiitsukun!
Tamahome! Still not used to my face?
Uh, no problem!
Nyan-Nyan!
Exactly. I had the others use the Nyan-Nyans’ bodies—
Taiitsukun’s really smart!
Taiitsukun’s the lord of the stars who controls death!
Uh, would you—
Miaka, you really, really wanted the Seven Stars back with you!
And the souls of the Seven Stars answered you!
Uh-huh! They answered really, REALLY strongly, so they came!
Darn it, would you let me TALK?!
They never change…
Well done, Miaka. You managed to summon Suzaku.
Observe.
The Kutou Empire, source of so much evil,…
…has collapsed with the loss of its leaders.
But fear not, for from this beginning…
…it shall be rebuilt as a new nation.
In Konan as well, the people are united…
…and it is already recovering.
Hokkan and Sairou are also unharmed.
In summoning Suzaku, you have saved the world.
You have fulfilled your duty as Priestess of Suzaku in every way.
Thank goodness…
So, all that’s left is to use your last wish so you can stay together!
That’s right. There’s still one wish left.
I wonder how she should word the wish.
It didn’t work when Byakko was asked, you know?
We’ll never know unless she tries.
We’ll say we’ll kick his ass unless he lets Tamahome live in this world!
How do we THREATEN Suzaku?
I’d prefer if Miaka and I could live in this world.
What are you talking about?!
She could bring Shoka back to life…
She could fix Taiitsukun’s face!
Maybe she could move time back to before she opened the book.
What would that accomplish?
Kaijin!
Suzaku! Return this world to normal!
What the hell…?
That’s so selfless…
Not just that… Pretty stupid, too.
But what about you and Tamahome?
Are you sure about this, Miaka?
You both…
Everyone… Thank you.
For worrying about us. But… But I…
I don’t think that’s something I should ask Suzaku to do.
All of you taught me that.
Taught me just what I was capable of doing.
I always thought of myself as being helpless and insignificant.
With my family and school and my exams…
I was pulled in every direction and blamed them for it.
I was wrong. Now it’s different.
Because, even with my entrance exams, I’ll take them for ME…
…not because I’m being made to take them!
Believing in myself. Thinking of others.
Knowing that there are people who love me…
You taught me that. All of you.
Nyan-Nyan, can I borrow your body one more time?
Because, just once more… I want to hold her in my arms.
Nuriko…
Exactly right.
It is not the gods who make wishes come true.
It is human feelings which do.
The… The book…!
Everyone…
I’ll be praying for you.
Nuriko.
I wish you happiness.
Hotohori.
It’ll be all right, you know?
You two will manage some sort of a miracle.
Chichiri… Tama…
Miaka, you really think studying is boring?
Chiriko… No, because I’ll just imagine…
…that all my textbooks from now on were written by you.
Miaka… A soul needs a good body to live in.
Take care of yourself.
Mitsukake… Yeah, I’ll be careful.
What?! Sorry, but I don’t got any farewell speech for you!
Tasuki…
Oh, yeah, Miaka.
From now on, I won’t say that I don’t like girls.
I’ll just not like people I don’t like!
Thank you.
Everyone… Everyone, thank you.
Miaka…
Tamahome… Don’t let go. Hold onto me tight!
I will. I’ll never let you go. No matter what…!
Tighter… Hold me tighter! Tamahome…!
Miaka…
Big Brother…
This book wasn’t a spell book and it wasn’t a dangerous book, either.
Of all the books I’ve ever read, this was the greatest one.
Yeah… I guess you’re right.
I’m done!
All right, time to Go for Jonan!
Miaka?
What’s gotten into you? You shouldn’t push yourself too hard.
I’m all right, Mom.
I’ll do what I can do and see what goes from there.
Don’t worry about her, Mom.
They say a day comes when a young girl suddenly has her eyes opened.
Miaka… By the time you read this letter…
…you and I won’t be together anymore.
But even if we are separated for now, I still believe.
That someday, surely, I will meet you again.
No, that I will find you again.
I promise you. No matter how my appearance may change…
…and it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years…
No matter which world you’re in, I will come to you again.
Somehow, I know I’ll reach you.
And when I do, I will once again say to you…
…Wo Ai Ni.
Tamahome… Everyone… Look.
I did it… I passed the exam.
Miaka!
Yui!
What are you doing standing around in a daze?
And after you cleared the Yotsubadai High entrance exam!
Yui, I can’t believe you failed the Jonan entrance exam.
Hey, even geniuses mess up occasionally.
We’re not in the same class, though.
I’m in the class right next door. And we even have phys-ed together.
Yui, isn’t that…?
Yeah. It’s Nakago’s…
It’s strange, but this didn’t vanish with him.
Even now, I still can’t hate him.
He and I were so much alike.
He existed inside of me.
That’s why I never want to forget his mistakes.
You’re right. I think he existed inside of me, also.
And all the others, too.
They live inside our hearts.
Yes. They will all live on in the young girls’ hearts…
…as well as in the heart of this young romantic hero.
Why are you suddenly popping up to play narrator?
Tetsuya’s waiting for me up ahead. I’ll buy you lunch. Come on.
Man, this has really made me think.
About how there’s still hope for this world.
You see, this spring we had a strange new guy transfer into our school.
The interesting thing is, this guy’s had…
…memories of a past life ever since he was a little kid.
In this past life, he was charged by destiny to protect a girl.
He was one of seven people charged with the task…
…and he made a promise to her before he was reincarnated.
That, no matter how his appearance may change…
…and it took thousands or tens of thousands of years to do it…
…that he would find you again.
At last…
At long last… I’ve found you.
