Milady.
It appears that your mind is somewhere else.
If something is bothering you, we'd be more than happy to listen.
Looking so worried isn't like you, Milady.
He's an artificial human that I created.
A homunculus.
Princess!
What is it, you two? Entering without knocki—
It's an emergency.
What?
And more come crawling in.
What's wrong? You came rushing in.
Papa will wake up.
Oh, sorry.
Sleep is the best thing for Mondo to heal.
Sleep is best?
Meaning...
Papa was just exhausted and is sleeping?
I was told it was an emergency.
Well,
it's still an emergency.
Since he's doing excess work
without consulting us.
Don't worry, my kittens.
Mama?
Leave Mondo to me.
Just watch over Regalo like you usually do.
Yeah! Leave it to me!
Even if it meant my life.
You're too dramatic.
You're taking this too lightly!
All right, don't start fighting. Let's go, you two.
Milady, as well.
A siesta at the beginning of the day.
Papa is amazing.
I feel like I lost in the contest of love for siestas.
Yeah, we lost. It was a crushing defeat.
Jeez.
You've always had a knack for faking sleeping.
What are we going to do with you?
Ow!
In Giappone, we call that "tanukineiri."
Ow!
Ow, ow, ow!
Sumire, if you pinch that hard, you'll rip my butt off!
You'll become more of a man if I rip off a little.
But, Mondo...
Are you sure this is how you want things?
You can stop with the useless questions.
I'm not asking you.
You guys,
this isn't something to discuss in front of someone who needs their rest.
There's no more time.
Meaning there's only one thing we should do.
It's not just one.
It appears that we will never agree.
Despite how long we've known each other,
I'd have to agree with that.
And we'll leave it at that.
Milady.
It looks like you have something you want to ask.
If you're that interested,
allow us to sate that curiosity.
Welcome back, Jolly.
Oh, hi, Miss.
He looks like a normal child, doesn't he?
Despite that,
he has a contract with the sixteenth card,
La Torre: the Tower.
A contract with the Tower?
I just have to listen to what you say, right, Jolly?
Exactly, Elmo. Go play outside.
But she came to visit.
Milady has something important to discuss with me.
I'll be helping you if I listen to you, right?
Indeed.
Okay.
See you again, Miss.
The reason Elmo was born is...
Jolly!
The reason he was born?
You mean Elmo was...
Precisely, Milady.
Stop!
There's nothing else to tell Milady...
Tell me.
As you've figured out,
I've created the homunculus to contract with the Tarocco.
Why would you have him contract with the Tarocco?
I will answer that question
since I am the director.
Please listen carefully.
Long ago, Mondo had undone the seal on the Tarocco.
And then he established a contract with
the card, Il Mondo: The World.
The World is the card that unifies all of the Tarocco.
But there was a great consequence.
A great consequence?
Even among all of the Tarocco,
the cards 0-22, in other words, the Major Arcana,
exist by consuming the emotional strength of the host.
My Emperor, Jolly's Moon,
your Lovers...
The card doesn't matter.
But the cards that are not contracted, or without hosts,
survive by receiving power from the host of the World.
Is that the excess work Jolly was talking about?
Because of that, Mondo...
What? What's going to happen to Papa?
He'll soon fall into a coma, and eventually...
Is there any way to save Papa?
We just have to lighten Mondo's burden
by ensuring each card has a host.
I had
Luca and Temperance,
Debito and the Hermit,
and Pace and Strength
establish contracts together when they were young,
for that very reason.
So, to find hosts for the remaining cards—
I told you already.
Following countless experiments,
the only ones that were able to establish contracts
were those three.
So that's why you made a homunculus...
No.
At this point, it's nothing more than garbage.
That's...
But there is another way to save Mondo.
Jolly, stop!
Is there a reason to hesitate at this point?
It's to use the other Tarocco that you have, Milady.
The Wheel of Fortune?
That's right. Besides the Lovers,
you have a contract with the tenth card,
La Ruota Della Fortuna: the Wheel of Fortune.
But...
But?
Papa and Mama never told me
exactly what powers that Tarocco holds.
The power of the Wheel of Fortune
is to change the relationship of the host and the Tarocco.
The relationship of the host and the Tarocco?
You once saved Sumire with that power.
Stop it, Sumire!
No! The only way left is for me to use my Arcana powers!
It's true, if we use your Judgment, it can heal...
Mondo would be able to recover from his illness.
But there's no guarantee that the World won't influence Judgment,
causing it to go berserk.
Wait for me, Mondo!
Culla Protezione!
Jolly, do something!
There's nothing I can do.
What's wrong, Mama?
It can't be...
Felicitá!
Thirteen years ago,
Sumire was saved because you unconsciously used
the Wheel of Fortune power.
I...
don't remember anything.
Why?
Because the Wheel of Fortune changed the relationship
between the berserk Judgment and Sumire.
Then...
If I use the Wheel of Fortune power on Papa...
There is a possibility.
But the Wheel of Fortune—
Milady.
Why do you think that Mondo
sent you away from this mansion and only allowed you to interact
with a small group of people?
It's so you won't unconsciously use
the Wheel of Fortune power again.
However...
Mondo realized that he doesn't have much longer to live,
so he summoned you back to spend his remaining time with you.
And he decided to hold this ridiculous Arcana Duello
to find an heir.
That way...
you'll have someone to support you after you lose your father.
In two months, we will be holding the Arcana Duello.
The winner will receive the title of "Papa,"
and I shall grant your wish.
One more thing.
The winner will marry my daughter, Felicitá.
What's wrong?
So you heard...
Mama...
Yes?
Why did Papa choose a card like the World,
if it had such dangerous consequences?
M-Mama?
M-Mondo...
Jolly! Where are the others?
Halt!
Find and kill any member of the Arcana Famiglia!
You're going to use it?
The power of the Tarocco?
Yeah.
The reason I established a contract with the Tarocco
was for this.
Mondo!
I am Il Mondo: the World.
It appears that you need my powers.
Yeah.
Do you swear loyalty to us?
Sure.
If that means that I can protect those dear to me.
You still have an opportunity to nullify the contract.
Enough.
I will decide my own path!
Then shout, "Giurati Finalizzare."
Jolly, move away.
The safest place on this island is right next to you.
No doubt.
Giurati Finalizzare!
Your father is a great person.
And...
A tactless person.
Mama...
I want to save Papa!
Thank you.
Oh my...
If we use my Wheel of Fortune, we can save Papa!
You found out about your powers?
I had told them to never say anything.
They're hopeless.
I'm sorry.
No, you have no reason to apologize.
Listen well, Felicitá.
Have you been able to control your Lovers power by your own free will?
You see?
That means that your heart is not strong enough
to use the Wheel of Fortune power.
We will save Mondo, no matter what.
So don't ever mention the Wheel of Fortune again.
What the hell?
I was all excited to see
how much you improved since you asked me to spar with you.
Do you really think
that I'm actually giving it my all?
You never shut up, do you, chickpea?
Don't call me a chickpea!
Have you been able to control your Lovers power by your own free will?
I'm sorry, guys.
Please, Lovers...
Nova has clearly gotten better,
but there's no way I'm letting anyone else win the Duello!
I'm going to win this and take the title of "Papa."
I made a promise to Princess!
Then...
I'll be your bride?
Huh?
You must think you have the edge if you're so absent-minded.
That's not it!
If he were to incorporate
his Arcana powers into his sword technique,
he'd be a worthy opponent... But I have no intention of losing!
I...
If I were to win, I'll wish not to marry you.
I have a duty to set her free!
Now I'll be able to...
She truly is your daughter, Mondo.
If it's to protect those she loves,
she doesn't care what happens to her.
You're truly alike.
Like how neither of you consider the pain you'll cause to those you leave behind.
Why didn't you tell Milady of the Wheel of Fortune's consequences?
If she knew of the consequences,
there's no way she'd be willing to use the power.
You mean you expect her to...
If she were to use the Wheel of Fortune again,
she'll lose her memory again!
You're still watching this show?
There's only so much time you should be wasting.
You're planning on watching next week, too?
