A heartbeat that lasts for eternity...
Lives consumed in soundless balls of fire.
No one can tell when the world is displaced...
...and the flames of the Crimson World sweep over all.

This is turning out to be quite fun.
Yeah. We haven't fought this aggressively for ages.
Let's get him! My beautiful goblet, Margery Daw!
Crimson Thoughts
Supreme Throne, Hecate.
She's one of Ball Masque's leaders.
I don't care who she is.
I'll have you return Yuji to me!
Shana...
You belong to me.
We've already joined our vessels.
She seems to be the core of the system...
...to create this massive power of existence.
I'll defeat her, and stop it!
I n that case!
The only way we can stop this is by stopping Supreme Throne!
We must hurry!
At this rate, the city may collapse.
But what can we do?
Misaki City...
No. I must do something.
Your thoughts are fulfilling me.
It's something I've never achieved before, no matter how many vessels I touched...
...nor how many ambitions I've taken in.
You...
Sorry, but we're done here.
I've got to go and see Hecate.
You're to stay with me for a little longer, indeed.
Continue battle.
You're sure persistent.
Tch! Having too much energy has its problems too.
You're right. I feel we could fight forever.
Thousand Changes.
Is this what you guys are after?
I'd be happy just to have my Hecate feel satisfied.
You pervert.
You don't seem the type to play with dolls.
What's going on?!
Hey, look!
Wh-What's that?!
It's all right. They'll return. For sure.
Both Sakai-kun and Yukari-chan will return!
I can't get any closer!
You must get Yuji Sakai out of there.
If we can sever the Midnight Lost Child from her...
...we should be able to stop everything.
I'll give it a try!
Are you saying you're satisfied by fulfilling yourself...
...with my memories and recollections?
I've always desired it, and prayed for it.
For this?
Yes.
I realized for the first time after coming in contact with you...
...that this is what I was looking for.
You're Shana. You're no longer only a F lame Haze.
And I' m not only a torch. I' m Yuji Sakai!
That's me.
I've been searching for me.
And I certainly do exist.
You're right that you were empty when our vessels made contact.
But... not now.
I am so fulfilled now.
- With my memories.
- They're now my memories.
You're wrong!
There's no meaning in filling yourself up with other people's memories!
That's not you!
But you, a torch, are filled with Yuji Sakai's memories.
Mhm.
So... when I met Shana, I was nothing but a torch after all.
But...
But now...
Yuji.
Now it's different.
The one who's doing all the thinking, worrying and feeling is me!
So now I can say this again, with certainty!
I am Yuji Sakai! But who are you?
Where are you, the real you?
I...
Yuji! I will protect you!
Shana.
Yuji!
Shana!
The thing that was fulfilling me... is disappearing.
You're wrong.
There's no way you can fulfill yourself with my memories.
You've always been empty, right from the beginning.
This...
Are you all right?
Mhm.
I'm sorry... All of this for me...
I was asked to bring you back.
Huh?
By those two, and Kazumi Yoshida.
Really. They all worried about me?
Mhm. But...
I wanted to more than anyone!
Shana...
You've always been empty, right from the beginning.
Hecate!
Hey, I said no quitting!
No!
What the...
Abnormal situation.
What's happening?
Supreme Throne is spewing out all the power of existence within her.
However, this amount... scary to think what she can take in.
The city!
The city...
With this much massive power flowing...
...waiting for it to disperse naturally is not an option.
No way...
This is so exciting! This state! Results! Reality!
Fully saturated power of existence exceeding the world's permissible limit!
Wh-What's going to happen now?
I am about to check that out now!
Time to pull out.
There's just one solution.
Mhm.
Really?
The manifestation of Flame of the Heavens, Alastor.
Mhm.
Manifestation?
To have Alastor appear in this world.
As I am one of the most powerful Crimson Lords, my manifestation...
...will consume great amounts of power of existence.
By absorbing this saturated, massive amount of power...
...my manifestation will likely put a stop to the city's collapse.
Then...
But, upon my manifestation...
...the body that I presently use, the Flame Haze, will be destroyed.
It's happened once before.
By destroyed... you mean?!
Yes. I'll die.
It's the destiny handed to the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Flame Haze.
I entered the contract with Alastor well-aware of all this.
I have a bad feeling, indeed.
Hurry.
I saved you, Yuji, as Shana.
Now I must accomplish my mission as a Flame Haze.
That's me.
However...
Yuji Sakai.
Unfortunately, we have no way of allowing you to escape.
Let's go.
I made my decision long ago that I'll go where you go.
And I still feel the same way now.
Yuji.
Tenpa... jyosai...
I love you, Yuji.
Could this be?
Tenpajyosai.
No!
The energy is dissipating!
We have no alternative!
Escape!
Right behind you!
We will move on to our next experiment!
Another?
What are you doing?! Trying to get killed?!
Hurry!
If we're engulfed by Flame of the Heavens, that'll be the end of us!
There's nothing... I am...
It's all right, Hecate. You're you.
Little brat...
...na... ...up...
What?
Sha... ...ke up...
Who is it?
Shana...
Yuji? But why?
Wake up!
Wake up?
But I...
Shana! Shana!
Good.
Why am I?
Your vessel was able to take in my entire existence.
I felt the potential of the size when we entered the contract, but...
Then we can rely on that method next time?
Get serious.
We can't risk our lives like that multiple times.
I'm alive.
Mhm. And me too.
Yuji.
Could you, um...
You looked.
No...
I know you looked.
I didn't look.
Then why'd you look away?
Because...
Don't look!
But Shana, you!
Shut up, shut up, shut up!
And so, as I dye this sky red
I proceed through time yet to arrive with this body of mine
Please excuse me.
I proceed through time yet to arrive with this body of mine
Wirhelmina.
The "people" who we walk past, and undistinguished "things"...
They have the devil's luck.
The "people" who we walk past, and undistinguished "things"...
Who are you to speak?
The "people" who we walk past, and undistinguished "things"...
So, what do you think? We're gone for a moment, and look what happened here.
...are all memories that will disappear So, what do you think? We're gone for a moment, and look what happened here.
"Strengths" swaying with devotion and "weaknesses" swaying in vain... Good point. I think we can observe this area for a little longer.
"Strengths" swaying with devotion and "weaknesses" swaying in vain...
...are all part of the same future
Spinning, spinning...
Such a world, melting away the red haze of daily life as the sun sets I'm the one spinning! Help me, you two!
Such a world, melting away the red haze of daily life as the sun sets
Great news, right? Big Sister's going to stick around for a while.
Such a world, melting away the red haze of daily life as the sun sets
I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.
It all begins now I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.
It all begins now
What did you say?
It all begins now
Be more honest with your feelings.
See you later!
Shana-chan!
I'll set a plate for you at dinner tonight, so drop by later!
Why do I feel uncertainty as my heart beats faster? I'll set a plate for you at dinner tonight, so drop by later!
Why do I feel uncertainty as my heart beats faster?
I have to quickly destroy this troublesome pain that starts up
The red clouds melting into the sky hide burning passions within H-Hi.
The red clouds melting into the sky hide burning passions within
M-Morning.
The red clouds melting into the sky hide burning passions within
Hi.
The red clouds melting into the sky hide burning passions within
Morning!
Hesitating eyes, and overflowing tears
I may be more aggressive during the second semester.
Hesitating eyes, and overflowing tears
I will change them into strength for tomorrow
Hey, wait a minute! Ike!
I will change them into strength for tomorrow
I have sacrificed everything to descend on this land
I won't lose to you.
I have sacrificed everything to descend on this land
Huh?
With my sharp blade, I slash the darkness Second round starts today.
With my sharp blade, I slash the darkness
What do you mean?
With my sharp blade, I slash the darkness
You thanked me with tears in your eyes when I brought Yuji back.
I will always keep the light deep within my heart twinkling
That was round one. Let's do our best, Shana-chan.
I will always keep the light deep within my heart twinkling
Until I complete my mission with my own hands
Well I won't lose to you, either! I'm not going to lose!
Until I complete my mission with my own hands
We will walk our life like we always do, from now on as well.
Always a short distance from the point where the world becomes dislodged.
