Kill her? Noel?
Let that masked idiot kill her.
Is that what you just said, Rachel?
Don't make us say it.
Shit sucks, but with what she's become, there's no bringing her back.
Kokonoe, you crazy bitch...
Noel Vermillion is now a completely different person.
Even so, there's got to be a way to save her, right?
Rachel!
I am no god.
Damn!
Y'all always acting so arrogant and patronizing...
And yet none of you can save even one foolish girl?!
Answer me one thing.
What'll happen if she goes into the Cauldron?
This world will end.
Huh?
Right now, she exists to destroy the world.
That is the sole purpose of her existence.
The Dark One?
You're late, Brother.
Yeah, I was hanging out at the edge of the fight, watching you get beat up.
You're a terrible person, Brother.
Let's wrap this up quick.
That goes without saying.
Target in possession of the Azure Grimoire.
Noel...
How could you let yourself be reduced to this crazy, messed up machine!
You dumbass!
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 12: The Price for the Future
I hate...
I hate this world.
Jin!
Kusanagi? The God-Killer Sword?
Get real!
You're Noel Vermillion, aren't you?!
Target's mental wavelength: unknown, unknown, unknown...
I'll turn that useless armor into scraps!
Mark my words, you numskull!
Damn!
Perish.
Jin!
Brother!
Destroy the world?
That's not even funny.
We're talking about Noel here.
Noel observed the endless malice of this world
and, having lost hope, she ceased to exist.
Put an end to this before the worst can come to pass.
The Grimoire in your possession has the power to do that.
If the Azure Grimoire's original form is indeed the Cauldron,
it should be capable of shattering her soul from within.
If you can't bring yourself to do it, then—
Don't let Mr. Superhero interfere.
Just watch, I'll handle this myself somehow.
Are you fine with this, harlequin?
If they're defeated, you know what to do.
Of course.
Arrows of Heaven!
Wisdom of the Divines!
You idiot!
You're too hurt to carry on!
Get back to the sidelines and sit tight!
You've got to be kidding! I can still keep going!
Filled with suffering, sorrow, and rage,
with hope only to be lost over and over again...
I don't need a world like that.
All is a lie. All is an illusion.
The end has come.
Wh-What's that?
I hate...
The world hates me...
Stand back, Jin!
Brother?!
Now. The destruction of all.
Ragna...
You know, Noel...
Survival of target confirmed. Proceeding with elimination.
I gave you a lot of shit about being an idiot and stuff, but actually, the way you're always kind...
Your plain and honest ways...
I appreciate that about you.
You've lost hope?
That's fucking stupid.
Hope's the one thing you can never lose!
If you saw the malice in this world,
you must've seen its opposite too, right?
I've only met you a couple days ago,
but I don't regret the time we spent together.
It's no use. The personality known as Noel is no longer there.
Hey, Noel, think back and remember!
Even if only the people around you...
They're not a lost cause, right?
I am a doll.
Not human.
A doll that will destroy this world.
I hate. I hate, I hate...
I hate this world, and everything!
Shut up!
So what?!
It doesn't matter whether you were created naturally or not.
You're... You're still human!
You're Noel Vermillion!
Noel!
What do I do?!
Ragna...
The Idea Engine!
Lambda, I'm going to use your life!
Idea Engine, reverse connection!
Are you kidding me?!
Snap the hell out of it already!
Don't you run away!
You have to carve your own destiny, Noel!
I heard you.
When you cried out for help that time.
To think Ragna the Bloodedge has defeated the Eye...
Yeah, that was a very interesting event.
He even defeated the serpent.
However, this is not the future that we wished for.
This will impede the process that will take us to the Day of Ruin.
But if Noel Vermillion loses her powers, we can inherit the Azure.
Affirmative. Noel Vermillion is an uncertain factor.
Let us excise this one event and inherit the Azure for ourselves.
Agreed.
We've failed to destroy the Master Unit,
but as long as we have the Azure, the rest can be ironed out.
But before we do that...
It will be necessary to eliminate the singularity.
Affirmative.
Then, with regard to Yuuki Terumi, we will conduct the reinitialization.
Man, someone call the interior design hotline!
You! How did you get in here?!
Boy, has Rags been proving himself useful to me.
I ought to buy him a drink sometime.
In all the possible outcomes, this was the only time.
In this one moment,
for just the few nanoseconds it took Ragsy to defeat Kusanagi,
you guys looked away.
Impossible... That is beyond our comprehension.
Right, now that I'm in charge, we'll be heading straight for the Day of Ruin,
so why don't you guy go just take a hike?
Don't do this.
Now that Noel Vermillion has lost her powers,
you can no longer exist, either.
Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't noticed.
But, really, you don't have to worry about me going anywhere.
You cannot mean that you have awakened her?
Bingo! That is correct!
And your prize is...
...a home-brewed virus made by none other than our very own Phantom!
Affirmative. Danger. Danger.
Danger. Danger.
It's chock-full of numerical formulas you guys have never even heard about,
so I hope you brought some extra batteries for your calculators, kids!
Well, have fun with that.
Mister Ragna...
Quit being so much trouble.
I... I...
How could I have...
Sheesh, you idiot.
Ragna.
To draw back a soul that had fallen deep into the Boundary...
You really are a good-natured, dim-witted, dopey idiot.
Brother!
"Brother"?
Did you just call mister Ragna "Brother", Major Kisaragi?!
Second Lieutenant Vermillion...
Do you really fully comprehend the situation we have on our hands?!
Yeah, guess it's gone now.
Well, I've got another one, so I guess I'll manage.
That is not the issue here!
That is not it!
You dumb jerk! Dimwit!
Nincompoop! Idiot! Twit!
Fool! Ass! Clown! Buffoon!
[baka intensifies]
Mister Hero?
What have I to gain in putting down a cripple?
Thank you all for gathering here!
Terumi!
Oh, dear, you look so fierce all of a sudden!
I only came because I had news to report to you.
To tell you the truth, you see,
I just went and incapacitated Takamagahara!
You shouldn't be able to exist without being observed by Takamagahara.
It's all thanks to my boy Rags here.
Lil' Rags pranced around and howled like a puppy
but then he didn't finish all the food in his bowl like he was supposed to,
which, as I had planned, worked out perfectly for me!
It can't be...
But it can!
All the events converge here!
It has all come together here!
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's all give a big hand for Rags, the brave but dopey puppy!
Terumi!
So, given that...
You all can go die now!
You fucking psychopath!
That's good! I like that look! It makes you worth killing!
Stop this, Hazama.
You are before Her Majesty.
Thou art raising a ruckus, Terumi.
Well, well, well... This is embarrassing.
I lost my head there in spite of myself.
Saya!
Tsubaki!
Tsubaki, what are you doing here?!
Tsubaki!
The Imperator is my last light.
Noel, our paths have already branched apart.
Tsubaki...
You.
What is the meaning of this?
Takamagahara is already at my mercy.
The Continuum Shift hath ended
and all possible events hath been established.
Eternity shall bid welcome to its end
and restore the world to its rightful form.
I shall inaugurate the Day of Ruin.
What the hell are you saying?!
Rachel Alucard.
Thine efforts hast been in vain this time.
We'll have to see about that.
Aren't you the one getting ahead of yourself by claiming victory so early?
O Spectator, thou must already comprehend.
Even then, I still have faith.
Ye insects groveling upon the earth,
pay heed.
A new age is about to dawn.
Saya is the Imperator?
The NOL Imperator...
Mister Ragna...
Noel, you're finally up!
Mister Ragna left, didn't he?
Do you want to go after him?
I wanted to thank him, but...
But...
I have a feeling I'll get to see him again.
Let's go, Noel.
The random phenomenon has shifted into a sequential phenomenon.
Were you fine with how this turned out?
Takamagahara, a manufactured god, and a world that only proceeded in a way that was convenient to it.
A never-ending destiny.
As an Observer, I could do nothing
but watch this dull eternity.
But the factor that the god scorned
and thought little of worked a miracle.
Ragna the Bloodedge. And Noel Vermillion.
Yes, the two moved the world and pushed time onto its next path.
It looks like you've obtained the Power of Order.
That is none of your business.
If you ever want to learn about your power, come find me.
You must be joking.
What has changed is not the world.
Ragna himself has changed. Noel's heart has changed.
We saw it.
Saw Ragna's Azure Grimoire touch Noel.
Saw the moment the two Azures forged a new bond.
Carve out your own destiny.
The Dark One's own words?
What simple, childish words.
But they are words that we could never utter.
Ultimately, it seems you were never needed to the very end, mister Hero.
It is not over yet.
Thus far, everything has gone exactly as that bastard Yuuki Terumi intended.
Yes.
Knowing that, you are going to leave them to their own devices?
The ones who will change the future isn't us.
It's them.
Watch, for I will change it in my own way.
My vow remains unchanged.
...is Saya, no question about it.
Goodness, what a surprise!
Your creation certainly does you credit.
To reconstruct herself with nothing but sheer willpower!
The Thirteenth Prime Field was the one closest to being perfect, after all.
But still, this heartbeat...
Doesn't it give you a thrill somehow?
A coincidence or something inevitable?
Is this part of your plans, too, Hazama?
The Imperator said so herself, remember?
A new age has dawned.
Well, fine. Do as you please.
I see. So, you are the Sword of Izanagi.
The world turns.
Everything goes round and round.
The never-ending conclusion has crumbled
and a new dawn has arrived.
What awaits us in the new world...
No one, not even I, knows that.
But you know, Ragna...
Wait for meow, wait for meow, wait for meow!
Good Guy, I'm tagging along, 'kay?
Huh?! Why?!
The Cat Person told meow to follow you.
I'll be on your tail wherever you go!
And find lots of tasty food-things!
Scram!
Like you'd ever listen to me...
Meow!
Well, I guess I've got no choice.
So, where's we headin'?
Ikaruga.
Even along this path of brambles on which you must struggle and suffer, and crawl forward to advance,
there is one thing that is certain:
When the new world was born, hope was born at the same time.
No matter what happens, move forward without giving up,
Ragna the Bloodedge.
