Accepted. Executing orders.
You're...
System, activated.
Field, generated.
Null, eins, zwei, drei.
The fuck?!
Not being too talkative today, are ya?
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 6: False World
Countering physical attack.
Offsetting impact.
You...
Dimensional concretization.
You're a real pain in the ass, you know that?
What?!
Are you certain I shouldn't intervene?
Yeah. It's just Lambda's maiden sortie, in the end.
Just standby.
Good grief.
Hey, did you just hear something?
Who cares? It's probably just construction work.
Maybe it's Mr. Ragna...
I don't give a damn about that pedophile!
Let's go.
God damn...
They just have to come when I'm still convalescing.
Thanks for nothing, Nu!
Now what? You're just gonna stand there?
I'm not pulling any punches!
What's wrong, Lambda? Annihilate that man.
That's an order!
Rag... na...
The hell?!
Remnants of Nu-13's memories remain in her?!
Tager, transfer Lambda out of here!
Move it!
Here I come, you crazy tincan!
I swear, she's a real slave driver.
The Red Devil?!
Hey, asshole!
Ragna the Bloodedge, a message for you from Kokonoe:
"Your cooperation is much appreciated."
My what now?
What the hell are you wackos plotting?!
Who knows?
I sure don't. It's all Kokonoe.
Every god damn one of them...
How can there still be traces of Nu-13's memories left?
Is this an aftereffect of the Life Link too?
This calls for a readjustment.
Pretty Treasure Hairstyle
Huh?
Not a clue. You're better off asking someone else.
Fresh fruits and veggies!
Come and take a look!
Dammit. He should be close.
You must be the miscreant Jin Kisaragi.
You're...
The name is Shishigami Bang.
Bear witness to this scar on my visage.
I cannot imagine you would have forgotten it!
One of those defeated at Ikaruga.
I shall exact my vengeance for my lord's death!
You're welcome to try!
Dragon of Destruction...
Honorable Death!
Peculiar.
Is this really Jin Kisaragi?
So, he is wounded.
I thought that he might not be that bad of a person, but then...
We are enemies, in the end.
It's gonna be okay!
I'll investigate by myself to find the Major and Tsubaki!
Miss Litchi?
So this is the place.
I know!
The Major might drop by an infirmary to get his wounds treated!
Um, excuse me!
So pretty...
I guess this is New Year's festival, huh?
Go screw yourself, Library girl!
Time's wasting!
Where...
This is my residence.
You!
I wouldn't advise that.
You won't be able to move as long as you're under this spell's influence.
Why keep me alive?
Am I not the one who has robbed you of your country?
Indeed you are.
However, though you may be the object of my vengeance,
it would be a disgrace for a true warrior to take the life of a wounded man.
Recover first.
I will gladly challenge you again thereafter.
At any rate, you should take it slow for a bit.
Bang, could I ask you to get him a change of clothes?
That shall be easily done!
He's a good man.
He calls himself a bounty hunter of love and justice, you know?
A bounty hunter talking about justice?
Why not?
He's the kind to rescue a wounded man on the streets.
Even when that man has done terrible things to him.
And you are?
My name is Litchi.
I run an infirmary in Orient Town.
It's hard to believe in this getup, but I'm quite skilled at my craft.
Is that so?
Medicine of a bygone age...
Compared to ars magus treatment, it's highly inefficient.
Ars magus that makes use of seithr
is inherently a power that people should not be taking into themselves.
The same goes for you, does it not?
I'll leave the medicine nearby.
I can move.
Am I free of the spell?
Sir Jin.
Preparations for your meal have been made.
Please awaken.
Welcome.
I'm sorry, but I'm not here for your fruits.
Oh, so you're not a customer?
Oh, but I am. I'm looking for answers.
I won't be needing a receipt.
For a member of the Library, you sure are amiable.
You must not fight Yuuki Terumi.
With your Azure Grimoire, there is no winning against him.
Like I give a damn!
Are you sure you should have lifted the restraining spell?
I may very well catch you off guard and thrust my sword through your chest.
I am not one to suffer defeat in such a manner.
And besides, I could not exactly feed you by hand, now could I?
'Tis a tranquil town.
As long as you are amenable to it, I would be pleased to show you the surroundings.
The surroundings?
Boss!
Hail! the new year is barely upon us and I see you are already hard at work!
The quake did quite a bit of damage the other day.
No time to be kicking back and relaxing.
Take this!
I see you're not the only ones going at it.
Boss! Boss!
You're from the NOL!
What do you think you're doing here?!
You'll have to fight me before you dare touch the Boss!
Me too!
And me!
This here man is my guest.
Fear not, little one.
But they...
...destroyed our home!
And killed my dad...
True, we were defeated.
We lost our country and those precious to us.
That is precisely why, at the very least,
I want all of you to have bright smiles on your faces.
Okay. I'll do my best!
Excellent. Good lad!
Sir Jin, would you care for some refreshments?
That was laughable.
You are the one who is consumed by your desire for vengeance.
Such is our duty as warriors.
I do not want the townspeople, especially the children,
to be consumed by hatred and resentment.
A selfish wish...
Now, then...
I shall return without you.
Sir Jin, you go look around town by yourself a little more.
With no one to watch me?
I doubt there is a need for that as you are now.
Waitress, I left payment here.
All right!
Brother... Jin.
Tsubaki!
Why are you wearing that uniform?
I volunteered.
It's my duty as a member of the Yayois, part of the Duodecim.
I serve the Imperator.
That doesn't mean you had to go to such lengths!
Why join the disposal unit?!
Brother!
No, Major Jin Kisaragi!
You are charged with the crimes
of recidivistic insubordination and leave without permission.
Defection charges also loom.
Defection?
Please return to us. If you go now,
they may still consider your extenuating circumstances.
I cannot go back.
Why not?!
There is still something I must do.
Does it have anything to do with Ragna the Bloodedge?
These damn stairs go on forever.
Screw this, and screw Nu!
I swear, I'll slap that bitch next time I see her.
Her, and all of those with her face!
The, she's...
Dammit!
Why do I have to feel pissed off about this?
Please answer me!
It has nothing to do with you.
Just return to headquarters without a fuss.
I refuse.
I will have you do as I say, no matter what.
Even if that means having to force you!
The sealed armagus Izayoi?!
Tsubaki!
Do you know what that thing does?!
Of course.
A light-blocking barrier.
No one will be able to hear or see us in here.
Brother Jin,
I have been ordered to kill you.
But though it may be an imperial command,
I don't want you to die, Brother!
So, please...
Don't do it, Tsubaki!
Do not use its powers!
You will lose your light!
I...
What's the matter, Tsubaki? Don't tell me you're getting cold feet now?
Looks like it was the right call to have my little friend follow you.
Tsubaki, you bad girl. The Imperator's words are absolute!
An imperial... command... is absolute.
She's being manipulated!
Wha—
What's wrong, Yukianesa?
Why won't you let me draw you?!
Brother...
Sir Jin!
B-Brother Jin...
Tsubaki...
Th-This can't be happening...
No... No...
Sir Jin!
Disappearance of the Power of Order observed.
The balance might've tipped towards disintegration.
We cannot afford to lose the Power of Order.
I propose an event disruption.
Affirmative.
Case 685. Eliminating event distortion.
Such is our duty as warriors.
I do not want the townspeople, especially the children,
to be consumed by hatred and resentment.
A selfish wish...
Now, then...
It is time for us to return.
Waitress, I left payment here.
Thank you, come again!
Pardon me.
Is it possible to have a cup of tea?
What is the matter, milady?
A world that picks and chooses only what is convenient
is unromantic in the worst possible way.
Don't you agree, Valkenhayn?
Aw man, that was actually pretty interesting,
but I guess I'll let it slide this time.
We still have a situation here, isn't that so?
Besides,
I have my own preparations to look forward to.
Sleep for now, Lambda.
I'm gonna have to equip you with the Idea Engine if I want to defeat that bastard.
Brother...
Yukianesa.
It won't activate.
It froze my lord
and carved this scar upon my face. That abominable blade of ice.
Yet if it cannot be drawn, it is no better than an ornament.
Sir Jin,
mayhap you harbor doubts of some manner.
What are you getting at?
I know this is sudden, but you should leave this place immediately.
It seems there is a member of the NOL looking for you.
I thought you wanted to fight me?
I recall mentioning doing so only after you'd recovered.
And besides,
there is no fight to be had, not with you unable to draw your weapon.
Make haste.
Are you sure about this, Boss?
Yes. Let him go.
Once his wounds have healed and his doubts have cleared,
I shall have my fair fight with him.
Have you looked in his eyes?
It's the look of a man about to face a battle he cannot win.
My lord had the very same look in his eyes on that day.
Doubts, he said?
Finally.
Brother Jin probably isn't there anymore...
Tsubaki!
Noel.
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
Miss Litchi, please read this letter!
This? "Episode 7, The Wings of Judgment".
Rebel 7: The Wings of Judgment
Th-That was not what was supposed to be in there!
