I've come all this way.
Shana.
Yuji.
Is that Sakai-kun?
Who are you?
I'm disappointed you don't recognize me, Flame of the Heavens.
What?
No. I suppose it makes sense.
You came to this world after I did.
The words I spoke and the sound of my voice
were never something you heard directly.
Who are you?
It's probably some toy that three-eyed woman cooked up.
Carrying that "Silver."
This time I'm going to catch you and make you tell me everything!
Brainwashed. Or perhaps someone has...
...possessed him, it seems, indeed.
Foolish act.
Neither of those is true, Carmel-san. Margery-san.
I wonder.
Then are you Yuji Sakai?
Yes. I am Yuji Sakai.
But this is the name I use in this world.
I have a true name as well, of course.
A true name?
What do you mean?
Who are you?
You'll understand if I show you this.
This flame.
Seal.
Black flame...
Yes. This is my flame. And...
This is the form I take now.
Call me thus, the Snake of the Festival, Yuji Sakai.
Now set free
Your hidden feelings
So that you may sever
Reality that returns to nothingness
Even if fate is inevitable
Nobody can predict what will happen
Defy it with all you've got
Grasp the future reflected in
Your eyes with your own hands
Shout out
Your existence
Cry out
Shout out
No matter what hardship
Awaits us down the way
Light my fire
The Snake of the Festival? Impossible.
The Creator God...
Yes. I am what you would call
the counterpart to the God of Atonement Alastor,
the Flame of the Heavens.
I am the Snake of the Festival.
But you grew arrogant in your power,
and dared alter the foundations of the world itself.
And the ancient Flame Hazes sealed you in the eternal pit.
So what's a God doing here who was banished forever in an old fairytale?
That place is a gap between worlds where none of the laws of the universe apply,
and even the Gods are helpless.
Ball Masque acts without a master.
So that was it, indeed.
Unexamined possibility.
Shana...
No... no!
You aren't Yuji!
No. I am Yuji Sakai, Shana.
We'll talk after we've captured him, indeed.
Dangerous threat.
That's right!
Yuji!
Whether he's lying or not,
he called himself one of the most legendary monsters in history.
Who knows what he'll do.
What's going on?
Is some weird monster pretending to be Yuji?
No.
I'm sure that's not it.
I can tell from Shana-chan's voice.
What she's seeing in front of her now
is Sakai-kun!
"Reunions and Chance Meetings"
I'm sorry...
...but I'm only here for Shana.
We've been locked in!
Shana.
Yuji...
Let me go!
Snake of the Festival!
What kind of foolishness do you intend, appearing like this?
It's not a joke.
We both needed each other.
Don't speak in his voice!
Shana. Come with me.
I've come for you.
You bastard...
I want to go with you.
Why? Why?
Why are you saying that now?
No. I can say it now when I couldn't before.
Now I can.
Impressive. That won't be enough to stop them...
I see.
Is this the only way then?
Wait, Shana.
Humpty-dumpty sat on his wall!
Humpty-dumpty had a great fall!
And all the king's horses
and all the king's men!
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
I can't be bothered right now, Margery-san.
Would you stay put for a while?
Of course not!
Then, why don't you hear what I have to say?
There's something I've learned since I've come here.
You'd want to hear it too, I'm sure.
About Silver.
Silver? What... What?
Margery, shut up!
What do you know about Silver?
You mustn't listen!
He's telling you that because he knows it's what you want to hear first.
False information.
Shut up! I want to hear it!
I want to hear it!
Then I'll tell you.
Yuji, no! Yuji!
About Silver.
Yuji!
What do you know about Silver?
First, look around you.
What looks to you like a suit of armor is not a Denizen.
It's a physical manifestation of emotional fragments gathered from humans.
You might say it's the form their hearts take.
These countless fragments
are the parts that make up the mechanisms tracing out my identity.
This armor appears before those who possess strong emotions
without any manifest will of its own.
It carries out the desires and wishes of the one it seeks to draw emotions from,
and thus reflects those emotions.
It has no mind of its own.
What you saw was the physical form of your hate.
The sneer you saw was your own secret desire.
Do you understand?
The Silver you saw
did what you really wanted to do yourself.
That was... me...
It's over.
Yuji.
Arouse wariness.
Big Sister!
What's wrong? Big Sister!
The Chanter of Elegies has received information that has badly shaken her, indeed.
She is in a dangerous state, indeed.
Collapse possible.
Get a hold of yourself, indeed.
Maintain will.
Oh no! The contract is about to break!
Hey, Margery! Is this how you want things to end?
Do you want to die here?
It's no good, she won't listen to me!
Big Sister! Big Sister, don't die! Big Sister!
Ever since I can remember,
I was always relied on...
I helped and was betrayed,
and then was relied on again.
I was sick of it.
And sick of myself for willingly going along with it.
That's why I hated him.
He destroyed everything I wanted to destroy.
But...
I'd destroyed it all myself.
Then, it's all over!
No! Don't die, Big Sister!
Why shouldn't I?
You still want to use me?
Sato still hasn't...
He still hasn't done anything for you!
Margery-san!
Think about Sato-kun!
Please, realize those feelings!
You've been loved for a long time!
My...
Big Sister!
Don't die!
Margery-san can't fight anymore.
And Carmel-san won't be able to do much more than protect herself.
Now we're finally alone.
Yuji...
I'm...
...going to destroy you!
The Blutsauger...
Shana. You're never going to give up, are you?
Shut up.
That's why the only path between us is battle.
Shut up!
I'm going to fight, and follow this path to where you are!
Shut up!
This is hard.
Any time before now Yuji would've done something...
No!
Yuji knows my powers.
How much can I materialize?
That's...
"Sakai"
Shana.
Yuji.
What will you do about Chigusa?
I've already left on my journey.
You're not a puppet, you're doing it of your own will?
That's right. Of that one thing, you may be certain.
Can you protect all the people you love, Shana?
If...
If your mother or father were attacked
by a Denizen somewhere, what would you do?
Can you put Flame Haze guards on everyone you know?
I...
This world is too large to protect.
Just living in Misaki City for over a decade
I've met so many people I have to protect,
I want to protect.
That's why...
I'm going to change what's real in this world.
I'm going to eliminate that unreasonable possibility from the world.
To protect the person... the people I love!
Shana!
You're only a tool of destruction, but I count you among them.
A Flame Haze fights, and fights, until someday they run out of luck,
and then they just disappear.
I'm going to change the destiny you've been given.
I'm going to protect you.
And so I won't let you stop me.
I want you to be by my side as the world changes.
Yuji...
Shana. I've always dreamed of walking together with you.
I've become stronger. Much, much stronger, like you wanted.
So now I begin a battle
to walk with you and protect you!
It's moving this way!
Yoshida-san, we need to get out of here!
Sakai-kun is coming!
I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here.
S-Sakai!
Shana-chan!
You... saved her, right?
Shana is fine.
I'm about to take her back.
I came here to reclaim this.
Sakai! That's...
What's wrong with me taking it?
It was mine to begin with.
Wait!
Sakai-kun, um...
When you said take her back, you meant Shana-chan?
Yes.
Why did that letter...
Because I promised.
That if nothing else, I would say something.
That I would tell everything.
I couldn't say something that would make you unhappy.
But I would tell you what I could.
That was my thought.
I must be dreaming tonight.
Sakai-kun... Sakai-kun...
If you can go back home, you should.
We erase it from our memories
I haven't changed anything yet,
You can't escape
but it's much better than being in a place like this.
I only know this secret with you
How can I protect you forever?
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you
I can't live this life
Without you by my side...
Shana, let's go.
"I'll believe..."
If the luster that made you shine
Is also inside of me (I'm sure that we can go)
I will go and prove everything
It is the reason why I continue to exist
Inside of Kaos I say
Where can I get the real love and fate, right now?
How can I make you know my heart is with you hey?
All people, everyone, forget things,
Even their aching scars
Each time I see the passage of time,
These emotions fade
But I don't want to overlook things any longer
Back and forth, the screaming in my heart won't stop (time over)
The vanishing afterimage, that is you in and of itself (So now that you & I)
I can't live life
Without you by my side...
"I'll believe..." Even in the fatality of solitude (Yeah, yeah)
The fragments of the burning records
Reflect tomorrow's brightness (Can see your light)
If the luster that made you shine
Is also inside of me (then I'm sure that we can go)
I will go and prove everything
"I'll believe..." in a tomorrow where we coexist (Yeah, "I'll believe")
Shana is trapped in the Palace of the Stars.
Margery withdraws from the battle,
and Wilhelmina makes a plan to recover Shana alone.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"The Captured Flame Haze."
