Twentieth century New York.
There, Margery meets a young Flame Haze, Yuri.
Yuri has a pure sense of justice and tries to carry out his mission seriously.
While Margery feels a sense of angst in his attitude, a Tomogara, Annaberg, takes action.
Listen well, Sakai Yuji.
Your control of power of existence you have gained through all the training you have done...
You are to take that to the next level.
O-Okay.
What's the matter?
Well, I have the overall control from the training so far, and I thought I was mentally prepared.
But, after standing here....
For me to use an unrestricted spell...
Don't worry.
As you are now, I'm sure you can do it.
Fuzetsu!
Why hello! Welcome to the stage of advancement.
Fang of Devastation, Marcosius-dono.
And Interpreter of Condolence, Margery Daw-dono.
For you to be able to give such a laidback greeting means you're not alone, right?
Either way, there's no difference in what we do.
Let's get this party started!
Looks like it's begun.
Yeah.
Why did you go and tell your story?
To the Interpreter of Condolence.
How you couldn't save anyone.
How you want to next time.
You knew your belief would be rejected.
Yeah, I knew.
I knew, but...
I just...
...can't think that it's a wrong belief.
I don't see anything wrong.
This Yuri guy wanted to help others, right?
Why is that wrong?
Let's say you guys are Flame Haze.
You find me in a life-threatening crisis, but you were told not to follow me.
What would you two do?
W-Well, of course we'd...
Right?
Honestly, why are all Flame Haze so tainted?
I always thought you were all just a shell of what once was human, but you surprise me.
You're not even a shell.
Save your speech for...
...When you go to hell!
You're nothing more than a lump of pestilence filled with murderous intentions and animosity!
Have you noticed something strange about his presence?
Yeah. I can't seem to get to a handle on it.
I wonder what the trick behind it is.
My specialty is, as you see,
to fog things with steam.
And what it fogs up is...
Presence!
So this is the weak Tomogara's...
...Favorite little magic trick, eh?
Beauty isn't supposed to be hidden, is it?
If you think that level of surprise attack would work, think again!
No, you're not wrong.
I want to save others.
I want to be of help to others.
I think that's my reason for being here as a Flame Haze.
Right now, Interpreter of Condolence is fighting.
The only one who can help her is me.
Hunting Tomogara is the reason Flame Haze exist.
Helping others is just a result, not the goal.
But, I guess it's not bad to play along with different situations.
Are you sure, Valac?
Don't ask.
You're such a gauche guy.
Punch and Judy fought for a pie,
Punch gave Judy a blow in the eye!
Th-This is!
An Improvised Verse.
Well done, Metamorphosis.
You're really anything-goes.
He didn't want to get cooked raw, so he placed himself in a roasting pot?
I wish you had destroyed the building without Fuzetsu up.
So you were up to taking this building down!
Of course, as I had already told you.
This is the acceleration of civilization!
Don't you think it's amazing?
All these skyscrapers...
The power of humans...
The power of civilization that changes how the world functions!
Aim for what they do not have.
Replenish if lost.
I want to see where this amazing power will lead!
I want to drag it closer in!
Therefore...
I give it to them!
The loss due to flame!
As a benediction for humans who make the next advancement.
Then...
A power much greater than what they have now will rise from the ashes.
A power of civilization that changes the world.
By my hands!
With my flame!
What a great entertainment!
What a great sensation!
I thought I'd get to hear a bit better sophistry.
It was my mistake to have hopes for a puny pyromaniac.
So a shell that quit being a human can't understand me after all.
One thing I like about you is how you can keep talking back.
But it's about time for this party to end!
Behind you!
Margery!
Interpreter of Condolence.
Interpreter of Condolence!
Way to disturb us.
That was close.
I don't mind. The end result will be the same.
Metamorphosis...
He had his body detached from it.
You thought I'd have my hands full with protecting the client?
I need to hurry and save her.
Or else, Interpreter of Condolence will die.
I know.
You can use your power, right?
Yeah.
Be cloaked with your familiar and turn into a gestalt of power.
It's vulgar, but it's a strong attack that draws in everything you have.
Don't hesitate and blast it in.
I will fly.
The words of oath.
I will fight.
The path you chose.
I will save.
Give me the power!
I wonder how the withering flower will enchant my eyes.
This is the end.
W-What?!
Interpreter of Condolence!
Your wound is...
Metamorphosis won't die from that!
You understand what each of our roles is, right?
Yes!
The newbie saved your life, eh?
My tightrope walking circus star, Margery Daw.
A new Flame Haze?
I see him!
It must be the master of the familiar from earlier.
Your opponent is me!
I praise you after that deep wound you received.
I'll take those as your last words!
I couldn't finish him.
Not bad for your first battle.
That aside, you're burning out your power fast.
You won't last much longer.
I know. But...
This is a wonderful power.
I want to save many more people with this.
Damn you! Damn you, Flame Haze!
Do you understand? The next move is the key!
Yeah!
I did it!
Not yet!
The destructiveness is going down.
You have to shake him off!
This can't be happening...
How could I die to a Flame Haze...
To a human shell that thinks of nothing other than revenge...
I'm not a shell.
That's right. I'm...
...going to help others against those who steal!
That's the extent of my existing purpose!
All right!
That guy's amazing!
And, what happened after that, Ane-san?
What did you do to Metamorphosis Sydonay with him?
Don't be rash!
Leave Metamorphosis to the Interpreter of Condolence.
But she was hurt so badly.
You don't have anything left, either.
I know.
But...
I can't help but to save her.
You can't find any other way to live as a Flame Haze, can you?
Although I do this as a hobby, this is my first time having a client killed.
What a humiliation.
That humiliation will disappear soon enough.
Along with you!
So there was a reason why she was called a battle freak.
Now that the Cavern of Scrupulous Impaling has been killed...
Any further fighting is meaningless.
He's coming.
Perfect. I'll have him become the curtain drawer.
How much of a daredevil is he?
What are you going to do? Risk your life, get him from two sides, and we might have a chance of beating him.
No. I can't risk my life here.
I was supposed be the one.
I was supposed to kill them all.
And yet...
He's laughing.
That guy's laughing.
He's laughing after taking everything away from me.
I can't die until I kill him!
This isn't the moment I risk my life!
Interpreter of Condolence!
I'm sorry, Valac.
You didn't fail.
Right?
If that newbie hadn't jumped in, the battle would have continued until one of them died.
Thanks to him, it ended in a draw.
Much thanks to him.
There was no hesitation.
I didn't hesitate.
Is she telling us to not follow her?
Is that why she told us such a story?
But I think I finally understand.
Something happened that urged on Ane-san to take revenge, but got that taken away by the Silver Tomogara.
That's why she's after the Silver.
No wonder she's so strong.
She's so strong!
It's the other way around, you idiot!
No, I can't do it right.
Stop complaining.
Formulating an unrestricted spell is about feeling it.
There is no other way to learn other than figuring it out yourself and mastering it.
You can do it, Yuji.
You can become strong.
Shana...
Fuzetsu.
I did it!
I did it, Shana!
Shana?
This is impossible!
This... This color is...
Silver!
I will kill him.
I will kill him no matter what.
If it's for that cause, I will sacrifice anything.
No matter how important it is.
Misaki High School's Culture Festival, the Seishuu Festival, closes in.
Yoshida and Shana become involved in a costume parade.
For the preparation, they ask Chigusa for help.
And in the process, they meet a suspicious man.
Who is this man who has a smile similar to mine?
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Second.
The Man Who Returned Home.
