I have returned.
Welcome home, milady. Your tea is ready.
Thank you.
Did something happen?
That thing has begun to take action.
Are you referring to the Takamagahara?
Yes.
Terumi as well.
If Terumi has insinuated himself into matters,
a number of troublesome situations are bound to occur.
How inconvenient.
Is that truly how you feel, milady?
Oh? Why do you ask?
Because you smiled.
You are mistaken.
I was merely sighing.
Please forgive my presumptuousness.
Amidst eternal time that had lost even its meaning,
the world had been about to fall into a slumber within a labyrinth with no exit.
But then came a knock.
Repeated time began to move
and the probabilistic event had been set in motion.
Yes.
What do you have planned next?
I am an observer.
All I do is witness and sigh in admiration.
Understood.
Then I shall exist solely to moisten the lips of that beautiful beginning.
Why can't you hear
the heartbeat of this world?
Can, and audible...
Can it believe the future
We nurture an inexperienced smile
as we are thrown around
Does not give up
I'd like to know the truth
The night god toys with our suffering
like a branding iron
I won't hold back, won't doubt
If you are innocent after purification,
then let your soul strike out at the demons
Salvation won't lie in fighting
What power is this
You can see it
With eyes of steel we keep our emotions in check
Until our life ends,
commence your awakening
Your hands so clean, your blue shiny lights
May they reach the sky
Rebel 5: The Pair of White Guns
Kokonoe here. Come in, Tager.
This is Tager.
I'm currently in the air about 2000 from Kagutsuchi's protective zone.
Really, now? You're almost there already. That was fast.
I'm still waiting to be briefed.
Hazama and Relius landed in Kagutsuchi.
What? This can't mean good news.
What's their objective?
Prolly the Azure Successor, Noel Vermillion.
And that's why I want you to take her into custody first.
Into custody? Is that really necessary?
Yeah, it's goddamn stupid,
but those decrepit old geezers at Sector Sever
are bickering about how to deal with Noel Vermillion and Ragna the Bloodedge.
That so?
They talk big about not letting the NOL getting away with shit and controlling the use of ars magus,
but it's not as if Sector Seven's a monolithic entity.
We're trying to change the world with science,
but they still haven't analyzed or evaluating a goddamn thing yet.
They still have no clue what the frickin' Eye does,
and they're still blabbering about how the blasted Azure Grimoire is oh-so-important!
They're frickin' children!
I'm gonna beat our own Sector agent to the punch
to say nothing of those useless NOL bastards, and get my hands on Noel Vermillion first!
Roger that.
On that topic, what should we do regarding the Azure Grimoire.
Huh? Oh, you mean Ragna the Bloodedge?
Don't waste your time. It's the weakest of the Grimoires.
This has been bothering me for a while, but why do you say it's the weakest?
For all the praise it gets as being the most powerful, it has a fatal flaw.
Nobody's gonna be scared about "the most powerful" anything once its weakness is revealed, right?
True.
Let me confirm the details of the mission one last time.
The top priority is to take Noel Vermillion into custody—
Piece of shit radio's starting to break down.
Kokonoe.
Approaching point of descent.
Roger that.
TR-0009 Tager, commencing assault.
Bon appetit!
Noel, you're part of the NOL.
Is it okay for you to stay by Ragna the Bloodedge's side for this long?
I know...
But I still have so many things I need to ask him.
Boobie Lady, gimme meowre!
All right, fine.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Here you go.
Purrfect!
I'll pretend to eat it and then—
Shazam! Give it to Good Guy!
It burns! You got mush for brains or something, cat?!
Salute!
I swear to God...
Are you all better meow, Good Guy?
No, he hasn't fully recovered yet.
We should go out then!
The Kaka Clan has a miraclaw cure that's been seclawtly passed down the generations.
Just by going there, you'll be healed of any physiclaw or emeowtional wounds!
Tao, I told you to stop going on about—
If we go, Good Guy will be all better in meow time at all!
R-Really?
It's not nice to joke about this kind of stuff, Tao.
I've been around the Kaka village for many years,
but I've never once heard of a secret remedy.
Why the heck would we tell our secrets to Boobie Lady?
What?
It's a super clawssified kind of secret, that's why!
You sure talk a lot about it a lot for something that's supposed to be secret!
Afterwards, I'll strongly stimulate the backs of your heads
and make furget about it all!
Hey, back the bus up! I'm not so sure I need or want to go to that kind of place.
We should go!
Huh?!
I'm good. Too much of a pain, anyway.
Don't you want to get better?
If they have such a powerful cure, you should use it!
Um, are you really taking Tao's story on faith?
Huh? But it's true, right?
Of claws it's true!
She says it is!
What makes you think you can just take her word for it?
It's a spurrkly, meowlty, wonderfur kinda miraclaw cure!
Good Guy's gonna be up in a flash.
No way I'm going there!
It sounds incredibly potent!
Oh, Noel!
What?
Tao isn't exactly the most...
Tao.
Rabbit Lady, you're back!
How was your walk? Find any snacky-snacks?
Envision this place that you say has this cure.
What, what?
Uh...
Um, where are we?
The Kaka Hot Springs, the secluded hot spring of the Kaka Clan!
A hot spring?
Frickin' Rabbit! You can't teleport us out of the blue like th—
Taokaka Change!
Meow!
Wh-Wh-What's with this getup?
The Kaka Hot Spring is coed, so you hafta wear swimsuits!
Hey, Tao...
Taokaka Hip Attack!
What was that for?!
They say that the cowardly dog howls at everything.
Ragna,
you've been howling so much, it's starting to make me embarrassed.
Okay?
With heated thinking, even achievable endeavors will end in failure.
Cool off your head.
Forget cooling off. He'll end up with a heat stroke in here.
But he'll be all better afterwards!
After all, this is where the Princess came to heal that stupid ol'—
Oh, dear.
Why, you!
What's with that look, Rabbit? That time of the month?
This is way too embarrassing!
Give me back my clothes!
You look good in that, Noel.
I do? B-But...
I wasn't too excited about this at first, but we've come this far already.
Let's relax a bit and enjoy our time here.
You think so?
But...
We can make a special exception and you can go in your birthday suit!
What a pain in the ass.
But you prefer those kinds of girls, don't you?
I what?
You are always surrounded by imbecilic and childish girls just like her.
Well, I guess that's true.
Oh, but still...
Th-This swimsuit is way too revealing to be worn around a guy!
Will this suffice, then?
Well done. That should ease your mind.
'Ere we go!
H-Hey!
I swallowed some of the water!
No problemeow.
The Kaka Hot Spring is 120% Kagutsuchi catnip!
Drink it or soak in it, it's a delicious ingredient that'll fill you up with energy!
It'll make anybody content as a cat!
Content?
Oh...
Ms. Litchi, are you okay?
Meow?
Call my name and I'll appear! Lovely Lass Litchi is here!
Wow... I guess she looks content...
Today, I'm drinking as much as I can!
Ladies, drink up. You too, Noel.
Here you go!
Hey, it's not bad!
Isn't it?
Delicious!
Meow!
Things are starting to liven up here!
Come on, Good Guy! Join in!
Hold on! I can't see shit here!
Oh, I'm done.
Oh no, you don't!
P-Please let me go!
Get the hell off me!
I swear...
You're free to do as you please after this.
Huh?
All right! I'll do as I please!
No! You're such a bad drunk!
Target acquired, Noel!
What was that?
What the heck?!
The fuck?!
You sure about this?
Those losers were being hella loud and obnoxious.
That was precisely how the Princess wanted it.
Why?!
Ragna the Bloodedge's and Noel Vermillion's Azure
have begun to interfere with one another.
Indeed.
All is going according to plan, milady.
I hope you are correct.
Jesus, that was the pits!
Where do you suppose Ms. Litchi and Taokaka have gone?
I don't give a crap. For now, we're going back to the Kaka village.
The seithr around here is thick.
Taokaka?
Here we go...
Please leave this to me.
Bolverk!
Why...
Mr. Ragna!
Um, Mr. Ragna...
Girl, do you know what those are?!
The two Azures will be drawn to one another and at the same time...
...repel each other.
Are you waiting in anticipation of the possibility that will be born as a result of that, milady?
I am.
The possibility that will shape the future is hope...
...as well as despair.
However,
you mustn't fear change.
You musn't hesitate to evolve.
If you forever remain foolish and weak,
you will end up crushed by the weight of the world.
She's got the same face as Saya, and wields a Nox Nyctores...
Is she... a Prime Field?
Mr. Ragna?
Mr. Rag—
I don't want to hear that name from someone wearing that face!
I am an observer.
I merely observe, sigh in admiration,
and set ripples in motion.
My sole hope is that those ripples will serve to propel those living in this world to move forward.
Do you wish to live?
I see.
Ragna...
Ragna the Bloodedge.
The Azure Grimoire...
How will you use it, I wonder.
Go on.
And move forward, Ragna.
I'm so hungry...
Let go.
You ignored me...
You ended up ignoring me...
Curse you to Hell. I hope you get a paper cut.
You little twerp...
Ladies and gentlemen,
this man is a despicable villain who will leave starving children to die on the street!
He's a cold-hearted monster.
He's the devil himself—
Shut your pie hole already! You're making a scene.
So you'll treat me? To. A. Meal?
Sorry for the belated introduction. My name is Sena.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Ragna the Bloodedge.
So you do know who I am.
I can sense two auras within you. Who's your friend?
I was lied to when they told me you had the understanding of an oaf.
Luna, come say hi.
Moron!
Huh?!
Dumbass, scumbag, pervert!
If you weren't a friend of Master Jubei's, your ass would be grass by now!
Jubei? You're—
You pedophile! Ragna the Pedoedge!
Who're you callin' a pedophile?!
Don't ignore me!
Is that a Nox Nyctores?
Huh?
Nice to meet you, as they say.
My name is Platinum the Trinity.
Trinity...
One of the Six Heroes?
You well deserve your reputation if you noticed me.
Fine words, coming from you.
You had no intention of hiding yourself.
What do you want from me?
I understand your wariness.
But I have no intention of fighting you.
Ragna, there is something I wish to tell you.
You must not fight Yuuki Terumi.
With your Azure Grimoire, you stand no chance against him.
Huh?! The hell are you talking about?
What the...
I'm stuffed!
Later, dude.
Thank you for the meal.
What's with those three?
That's...
Tager speaking. Kokonoe, do you read me?
There's more static than hairs on my tail, but I can hear you.
What is it?
I was tracking some Azure particulates, but I drew the short straw.
So it's Ragna the Bloodedge we find first.
I have no confirmed sightings of Noel Vermillion.
What do you want to do.
Well, ain't this interesting?
Kokonoe?
Stay were you are, Tager.
Let's go for a preliminary skirmish.
Preliminary skirmish? What are you—
I'm sending it over, Tager!
Spacial transfer complete.
Activating... Activating... Activating...
Just show me blaze your mind
Only you destroy our world
Just show me blaze your brave
Make alter our memories
Go for it!
I believed
that even if the world were an empty illusion
I would look for a faint warmth
waiting for me somewhere
Don't look away now
It's time to come now
Look hard at me
I will free you from your grief
Don't be afraid of sorrow
I'll promise you
Endless reincarnation
I'm powerless
My memories course through my head like fog
Why do I fight?
I fight to protect you until the very end
You must obey the destiny
We're fated to be
We resign the destiny
guided by the voices
Um, the title for episode six is...
Episode Styx?!
Styx?! I'm too beautiful to die!
...False World.
Rebel 6: False World
False whorled?
I'm getting dizzy.
