The Red Night―― it appears without warning.
Real, yet unreal. A dark world which exists in an alternate dimension.
Strange black knights are attacking the boys and girls who have been dragged inside, calling them "Fragments".
Why them? Just what will happen?
Will an answer await them at the end of this nightmare?
歪んだ覚醒の中で 赤き夜が目を醒ませば
yuganda kakusei no naka de akaki yoru ga me wo samaseba
In the midst of a distorted awakening, the red night sky awakens.
黒き闇永遠の眠り 月影に怯えてる
kuroki yami towa no nemuri tsukikage ni obieteru
Darkness and eternal sleep are frightened by the moonlight.
炎が包み込んでく 世界を焼き尽くしても
honoo ga tsutsumikondeku subete wo yakidukushitemo
Even if everything is engulfed by flames, burning this world to a crisp,
祈りだけは絶やさずに 友と交わした明日のため
inori dake wa tayasazu ni tomo to kawashita asu no tame
I will never let my prayers be extinguished, for the sake of the promised future with my friends.
溢れる涙 連声に響け 忘却の剣へと
afureru namida renjou ni hibike boukyaku no tsurugi he to
Let this flood of tears and the echoes of our cries reach the blade of oblivion.
刹那さに溺れてゆく魂 浮遊して往く光
setsunasa ni oboreteyuku tamashii fuyuu shiteyuku hikari
Our spirits, these wandering lights, indulge in sadness.
空を切り裂いて
sora wo hirisaite
Split the sky.
此の世界 希望を抱いて逝こう
kono sekai kibou wo daite ikou
Let us embrace the hope of this world and move forward.
Yuka?
Don't tell me...
I'll save you.
How careless of me.
I actually let the Void fragments fuse!
This dark magic power flowing throughout my body...
It truly is nostalgic.
Liselotte Werckmeister!
Oh, it's you.
The one who abandoned your human form to keep me sealed away.
Her evil aura is so strong, it's nauseating.
This is the Witch of Babylon?
Yuka, what have you done?
Isn't this great?
Very well.
Very well!
I will grant...
...your wish!
Yuka!
The Void fragment!
Yuka!
Yuka, hang on!
Yuka!
Kakeru-kun...
This can't be...
It can't be. It can't be.
This can't be!
Yuka.
Yuka!
Owner of the Eye of Aeon.
Give me your power,
and bring destruction to the world.
Silence!
We will shatter your tainted desires,
even at the cost of our lives!
Liselotte must not be allowed to gain any more power.
Die!
What?
What's going on?
It's the Black Knights. They're trying to prevent Liselotte from obtaining the Void fragments and the Eye of Aeon.
Shiori's not here!
You...
Bring me back!
Bring me back to Yuka, back to the Red Night!
This place is...
Yuka! Yuka!
Calm down, Kakeru!
But... But Yuka...!
She may be alive.
I will also fight...
...as a fellow member of Index Librorum Prohibitorum.
What?
Very well.
But if it appears that Liselotte will take your fragment...
I will end my own life.
Very well.
Everything you do is useless.
You lost as soon as the gate to Hell opened.
The world Yuka made?
That's right.
The seven Void fragments were scattered to seven parallel worlds.
But when the Black Moon appeared, they were all drawn to one.
The fact that this world still exists means that...
Yuka is alive!
Takahisa's rampage occurred in Yuka's world.
But that alone isn't enough to be sure...
I'll find out whether she existed in this world!
What are you talking about, Kakeru?
Well, Tadashi?
Kaori?
Well, even if you ask...
Answer me!
Yuka... Do you know Minase Yuka?
I told you on the phone, didn't I?
Of course we do! She's our friend.
She's not just our friend, she's your beloved honey toast!
Your lovely little piglet!
You mean his beloved sweet honey,
his lovely little kitten.
Misuzu-senpai, this is Yuka's world, after all!
Uh, I'm not following...
Kakeru, did you hit your head? Or maybe you ate something you found on the ground?
She's alive.
Yuka is alive!
I hope that is true...
...if that is his wish.
Georgius... The world's mightiest dragon, possessing the power to destroy all evil.
Hell's Descent, which threatens to sink the world into darkness...
I shall shatter it along with the Witch of Babylon!
Die!
Fools!
You will be the ones to die!
Abandon all hope
You who enter here
Misuzu-senpai,
is there nothing we can do?
Can we only wait here?
It isn't as if Liselotte has obtained all the Void fragments.
And some have already been destroyed.
I see. So her magical powers are weaker than when the Black Knights sealed her 64 years ago!
Then we can win, right?
I wonder...
There are fewer Black Knights than there were 64 years ago...
...because we killed them.
All we can do is pray for their victory.
They're fighting in the Red Night right now, aren't they?
Shiori-san and the two Black Knights.
What Kakeru and I can do right now...
I'll be taking that Void fragment back!
This is my final battle...
Abraxas.
The guardian angel of Satsuki Kukuri, who took her own life seven years ago.
It's useless.
No matter how many of you impotent fools gather here,
none of you will even be able to scratch me!
Resist...
Struggle...
And at the end of your pain, when you have lost all hope...
...you shall all die!
Yuka's world still exists.
I want to believe this means she's alive.
The Black Moon...
The door of darkness that will destroy the world.
I also want to fight.
I want to go to the Red Night and fight!
Kakeru, the next time you're summoned to the Red Night,
Shiori and the others will have lost, and Liselotte will be coming for you.
Liselotte will come for me?
Since some of the seven Void fragments no longer exist,
she needs the Eye of Aeon's power to cause Hell's Descent.
Kakeru, when that happens, we must fight Liselotte together and win.
And as we are now, we don't have that kind of power.
It's useless.
You do not seem to be a member of Index Librorum Prohibitorum.
Avaritia-sama, condemn her!
Forgive me, Superbia!
We can't defeat Liselotte?
There is one way.
One way to vastly increase our powers...
What is it?
Tell me.
No matter what it is, I'll do it!
It... It is for two with Kusakabe blood to be joined together.
Joined together?
To be together, as man and woman.
That's...
I'm fine with it.
But...
Kakeru, I know how much you care for Yuka.
And I understand that your heart and mind are filled with her right now.
To save Yuka...
Think of it that way.
When the next fight comes, I will likely die protecting you, in order to save the world.
So, at least...
I want the one I love to make me a woman.
Kakeru, I love you.
This is a ceremony.
A ceremony for us to fight... for us to become stronger.
I haven't betrayed Yuka.
Our power opened a path to the Red Night.
Senpai!
Pathetic.
It reminds me of who I once was.
Who's there? You're...
Superbia. No, Kusakabe Misao!
Over half a century ago, I met Avaritia-sama across the sea, and fell in love.
For someone like me, who was banished from the Kusakabe village...
...those days spent with Avaritia-sama were the happiest of my life.
The battle... What's going on with the battle?
Avaritia-sama died in battle.
The chain user also lost, and the one called Shiori took her own life.
Tachibana-senpai...
Shiori killed herself?
The man I loved dearly... the man to whom I offered up my life...
A world without him is no longer worth protecting.
No. Let it be destroyed.
Let everything be destroyed!
Yuka. What about Yuka?!
Kakeru-kun.
It's over, Kakeru-kun.
You don't have to worry about anything anymore.
I ended it all.
Yuka... Yuka, is that you?
You're so weird, Kakeru-kun.
Kakeru-kun, I love you!
Yuka...
Yuka.
Stop! Don't make me do this!
Yu...ka...
Don't worry.
That girl is living inside of me...
...as a Void fragment.
L-Liselotte!
My power alone isn't enough to destroy the entire world.
I need the Eye of Aeon's power.
Welcome back, Velado.
At last, we meet again.
Why?
Why must we hate each other?
Why must we kill each other?
Where have the loving hearts gone?
Why have the believing hearts fallen?
That is what it means to be human, Velado.
It saddens me.
It pains me.
I cannot bear to look at such a world!
Liselotte.
Please don't suffer.
Such a world should just be destroyed.
That's right. I don't need this world...
As long as I have you, I'll be happy.
I will now grant your wish.
Ka... Kakeru!
世界を崩すPieceはとても軽く
sekai wo kuzusu piece wa totemo karuku
The fragments of this destroyed world are very light.
日々を過ごす片隅ずっと潜んでる
hibi wo sugosu katasumi zutto hisonderu
They pass each day in hidden corners, forever unseen.
差し出された諸刃に映るのは
sashi dasareta moroha ni utsuru no wa
I now see the sadness in your eyes...
今は悲しげな君の瞳
ima wa kanashige na kimi no me
...reflecting from that drawn double-edged sword.
護るものはただ一つだけ...そう君さ
mamoru mono wa tada hitotsu dake sou kimi sa
You are the only one I wish to protect.
溢れ出す 想いを放った
afuredasu omoi wo anata
Our neglected, overflowing feelings...
贖罪の夜も愛しくなる
shokuzai no yoru mo itoshiku naru
...will also become beautiful on this night of atonement.
どんな深い闇も僕らを一つに結ぶ
donna fukai yami mo bokura wo hitotsu ni musubu
No matter how dark it is, we will be united as one.
奮い立て 二度と振り向かず
furui tate nidoto furimukazu
Cheer up, and never turn back...
僕らその明日の為
bokura sono asu no tame
...for our tomorrow.
I Believe... ぎゅっと抱きしめた
I believe gyutto dakishimeta
While embracing you tightly, I will believe...
未だ見えぬその真実
mada mienu sono shinjitsu
...in this yet unseen truth.
And the two of them lived happily ever after.
This is wrong!
Let's meet again in
「Red Night」 in the next episode
