Hecate!
It's all right!
Although it is uncomfortable.
This...
You didn't destroy it?
What did you do?
What did you do to my paradise?
We'll let the one who did this explain it.
A message spoken by he who judges the gods themselves.
Now, let his voice be heard.
Our goal is not to stop the creation of your paradise.
However, we cannot allow it to be made as you wish.
We'll create a new law...
for the paradise you seek to build.
They want to change the spell, rather than destroy it?
They attempt to warp my paradise, the desire of every Denizen?
Our new law is simple:
The Denizens will no longer be allowed to consume humans.
We will ensure that the new world is bound by this condition!
This is me
My hair flutters around my cheeks, red from the cold
I'm me
When I found a tiny bit of determination, all this began
If even hope and despair hold the potential
for a future where darkness holds no sway
then the pain I can never forget is our promise from days past
At night I hold on to my hopes and prayers, unreasonable as they are,
and once I awaken
I take the chains I call my reasons and simply take flight into the endless sky
Yes, simply that
So you're saying...
You're going to resist us by altering the laws of nature?
Sydonay!
Don't hold back.
Yes, sir.
Very well.
Then I suppose I'll have to stop you.
One Reason
The spell's entire memory,
is being wiped!
And they're modifying it too!
That fragment is altering
the spell's entire core!
And the result
will prevent the transformation of humanity's existence?
Meaningless! Inexplicable! Unthinkable!
What blasphemous behavior!
We don't like your paradise, pops.
We're Flame Hazes, after all.
Sale!
Now, then... This isn't going to be easy.
Let's give it a try.
Who are you calling "pops"?
Today will be our last encounter, you failure.
Long goodbye!
Yeah. I agree.
He can stop them from damaging each other?
Looks like it'll be difficult.
Did you really think a trick like that would work?
Ready?
The God of Creation's masterpiece,
the realization of our desires, must not be tainted!
You're already here?
We'll have to finish this quickly.
I can't let a dangerous person like you go to the other side!
Oh, no! Professor!
I'm getting sick of you!
You're mine!
Even if they came in response to what she said,
what tactical advantage is there in resuming their advance?
I don't know.
It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
So it's even more important...
that we keep them from the True Ruler's Shrine.
Envelop and protect.
Robes of Nimrod!
We've made contact with them.
It's almost time.
Yes. I prefer talking to killing.
I have been awaiting the announcement from
the God of Atonement, Alastor, and the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter, Shana.
Those words were intended for you.
What difference does it make if we heard the girl's speech?
Flame Hazes aren't very good at persuasion.
I have no intention to persuade.
There is nothing that requires changing.
Let us begin with the words we gave the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter.
They were:
"Dream a splendid dream, and let your actions reveal the dream."
Isn't it pointless for you to continue attacking after our paradise has already been altered?
I'm tired of these questions.
Let's just tell him.
Yes.
The reason we kill, and kill, and kill, and kill!
It's because this place
is an execution ground, where they will continue to gather, no matter how many fall!
Slay ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million.
Their desire for the new world will continue to draw them here!
So right here, I will kill as many of those man-eating beasts,
as many of their kind, as I can!
I will eradicate as many of them as I can!
A blessing for the new world, before it is born!
Simply to kill...
The Four Gods of the Earth will sacrifice themselves for such a cause?
I've no intention of sacrificing myself, but very well.
If it bothers you, I'll tell you something.
This is senseless!
No matter how many thousands of my comrades you kill,
what difference will it make?
Listen well, powerful creature that crawls this blue Earth.
We shall take flight and search for your dwelling.
We may not find it.
But then again, we may.
Those who have come here out of greed...
shall...
die.
Like this.
And the survivors will never forget.
That this was the fate
of those beasts who learned the taste of man.
Nonsense.
You believe such a thing would stop the Denizens?
But the new world will persist
long after those who have gathered here pass on.
The future.
Yes.
Many of the Denizens born in the future will go to the new world.
And then, you will be the messengers from the past.
You will be the ancient ones, whom once consumed men.
You will speak of it to others during your travels, while you eat, while you play.
Telling them how, when those who consumed men went to the new world,
they were killed mercilessly.
For that is the truth.
It will become taboo.
Taboo?
We simply won't tell any of them!
I understand.
That it's impossible.
Someone will speak of it.
But, but...
Right now, we are here to make this the truth.
We are here to bring death to all.
I won't let that happen!
And why speak this nonsense only to us?
By telling those of you with many comrades
the meaning of our actions, our intentions will spread.
The future of the Crimson Denizens will be decided now.
This is the last hour that they will consume humans.
You Crimson Denizens, who share the world with us,
know that we continue to create.
We create the future of this world, the Crimson Realm, and the rift, as well.
Now and forever.
Even now, the tale of creation continues.
Is this a dream?
It's so pretty.
Thank you, Yoshida Kazumi.
Thank you?
Yes.
You made Pheles fulfill my selfish wish, despite her personal desires.
Had I stayed within the Midnight Lost Child,
I would have simply vanished.
Before that happened, you reunited us.
I'm sorry.
I think I understand how Pheles felt when she gave me the Hiralda.
But I made her do the one thing
she didn't want to, just to change things for the two I love.
So,
I'm sorry.
You're apologizing to Pheles, after all she put you through.
Then my response is still "Thank you."
Johann?
I only planned to bring you here to pass along a message.
But I'm glad I got to talk to you.
A message?
I'm going to be too busy.
Pheles is upset by the horrible thing she did to that woman, and she doesn't want her to come.
But I still need her help.
She is a friend, after all.
What are you going to do now?
If Pheles doesn't want it to happen, then that means...
Yes, I'm going to disappear.
I don't have much time, but I'll do what I can.
No,
I plan to leave hope behind.
You aren't going to try and find a cure or something?
No, I don't think so.
But there is a method by which a king once overcame death.
If I take advantage of what's about to happen, it may be possible.
We plan to make use of the God of Creation's Order.
That's why we gave you the scroll, in order to modify the spell...
So this would happen.
Ah! Keep this a secret, okay?
The God of Creation and the Flame Hazes would get angry.
Yes. I understand.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
When I was young,
this was the first place Pheles and I flew.
I wanted to fly with her forever,
so I ignored how cold the wind felt, and how heavy my eyelids were.
However,
I finally lost consciousness.
And the next thing I knew, I was lying next to the lake.
"Don't worry," she said, "I'll fly with you again."
What a strange way to scold someone.
It's been hundreds of years.
I haven't visited this place since.
We had many chances to fly together.
I wonder why Pheles...
is remembering this now?
Just like we were then.
We're here.
I'm happy.
No matter what happens,
no matter what becomes of me, if I'm with Pheles...
Yeah.
Me too, Johann.
Where are we?
Oh, you're awake?
So that's what happened, and now we're fleeing.
It's a lot to take in, with everything going on outside...
But do you understand now?
Y-Yes.
Originally, the plan was to hide and wait for this to end,
but there are just too many of our comrades.
Can't go this way either, huh?
We'll take another route. Okay?
Roger!
You're mine!
I was so close!
If it were that simple, it'd be no problem.
Hurry, but don't be careless.
Sorry.
How embarrassing.
That was insane!
What were you thinking?
That's right.
It's not like you to get so emotional.
You've known your dad for too long to get dragged into something like that.
Maybe that's why I was in such a hurry.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime to defeat the Seeking Researcher, Dantalion.
Yeah.
The creation of paradise is something that he's never seen before.
He won't leave until he's observed the entire event.
So if a bit of craziness could get him...
Or so I thought.
You're right that it's not like him.
But I'd hope that you could understand his feelings.
All right.
Then at least let me help you.
Chiara?!
If you listened to anything I said,
this never would have happened in the first place, right?
So, taking him on as a team is the best choice for the Archer of Aurora.
Then our lovely Chiara will provide the escort.
Well, I suppose our chances of survival will be better with both of us.
Sale!
Sale, was that...
He's bringing out a new weapon? Now?
What do you think?
This is the result of further research into the Ultimate Fist Circle.
The perfect bomb, the Ultimate Dispersing Circle!
No armor or unrestricted spell can shield you from it.
An excellent super-weapon, which devours anything in a 30 meter radius!
As I thought. This won't be easy.
Dammit!
I'm trying to get away, but we're heading straight for that tower!
Yeah, the Denizens continue to enter from the outside.
Indeed.
Even escaping them is difficult.
Fighting is completely out of the question.
Such is the life of a Flame Haze.
Hey, Para! Aren't you going too fast?
W-Well...
The wheel... No...
It's out of control.
It's gone out of control!
What?!
It's the unrestricted spell Daimon!
Coachman of Corpse-Bearing Slaves, protect Yoshida Kazumi!
Gotcha!
Wh-What's wrong?
It's a gas attack that only affects certain targets.
It probably won't affect humans, but just in case...
Protect those two, and brace for impact!
R-Right.
We can't control it! Crap!
Boss!
Damn it!
Gyuuki!
Khamsin!
Is this the pain I feel when we are apart?
It strikes me like lightning
Now that I am on my journey
we have no chance to speak anymore
Still, I will remember the day when first we looked at each other
like it was yesterday
Even if we escape the world of sleep
our dreams will not leave us, and we will not leave them behind
Even the sadness in my voice, though full of strength,
will put seeds of happiness into the ground
I won't forget
that we spent time together, even if my body turns to dust
In the sky we used to fly in, full of lights
a waning moon is shining next to the stars
The story we had in mind for our lives
will go on forevermore
The battle between Sale and the Researcher heads toward its conclusion.
And Wilhelmina heads into battle.
Before the final battle, Shana and Yuji prepare to reveal their cards.
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
Dream of the Stranger
"Dream of the Stranger."
