Wh-What's that?
N-No way!
Clouds?
Is that a mirage?
This is me. My hair streams across...
...my cheeks dyed red
I am me... A grain of determination
That was how it began
If there is a tomorrow that is not hazed over by hope or despair,
(simple as that)
I will not forget
This pain is the promise we made that day
I want to make it come true, I can't, I will
At night I grab the void and awaken to something in the morning
I merely soar into the endless sky, taking the shackles called "reason" Yes,
"That is all."
We've come to welcome you, my master.
Please proceed.
Let's go.
It's fine. I won't let them do anything.
I have to go.
I need to see what Sakai-kun is doing.
And if I can't accept it, then...
If that happens...
I'd like your help with something, Yoshida-san.
I'm just a human. It's something I can do?
Something that only a human can do.
Only a human who worked
with the tuners to repair the damage to this city.
Don't worry. I won't let the people here hurt you.
I promise.
Please add another few hours to the millennia-long wait.
Less than twelve. Tonight, at midnight.
"Maelstrom of Conflict"
To create the paradise Xanadu,
we must open a large hole
to the rift between worlds, and send power through it.
A large hole?
The tuning involved repairing the damage to Misaki City
by restoring it to the image that existed in your head,
as someone born and raised here.
We'll overwrite those repairs
with an Unrestricted Method called an Anti-Seal,
and temporarily expand the gaps that were repaired.
When the gaps are expanded,
things in this world will be unable to connect to one another,
and will essentially cease to exist.
I guess you could describe it
as a woven silk cloth that suddenly has holes in it.
And you'll send
the huge power you need to make the new world through those holes?
Yes.
This plan will relieve some of the stress put on the Creator God.
He quickly agreed to it.
Plan?
Then the reason you called Ball Masque to Misaki City...
Yes. I told you...
This is Yuji Sakai's plan.
Activate.
The Crystal Altar?
This shows the places that you repaired.
This is where I wanted to take you.
And...
This is the place I belong.
Bel-Peol.
Yes.
It will protect you.
But we must seal the power of that pendant.
You can call her, right?
I doubt summoning a single Crimson Lord would accomplish much here,
so it's just in case.
Right now, I... I...
Am I relieved that I lost a chance to sacrifice my life?
Sakai-kun would never miss something that would let me resist...
I closed my eyes to the possibility that he would stop me,
and gave myself over to the excitement of seeing him again.
In the end, I was even clinging to the part of me that still
cares for him.
I have to think...
About the reason I'm here.
No... About its value.
This is the central control room!
I'd like to begin the process of changing all
the Palace of the Stars' functions over to the True Ruler's Shrine.
Is that all right?
Of course it is. Begin.
Roger that...
Here we go!
Domino!
Yes, Professor, Sir!
Activate the perfect transformable alloy deluxe,
the miracle of science,
Excellent 252570, the Altar Shrine of the Celebratory Ruler!
Boop.
This is it.
Bel-Peol, finish this.
Yes, Sir.
Tartaros.
Synchronize with the Seal.
It is done, Master.
Yes.
Now no one inside the seal will be devoured,
regardless of how violent the battle becomes.
I see...
Master, I would like to begin preparations.
Yes.
Be sure they are prepared, not only for war,
but for chaos and confusion, as well.
Yes, Sir.
Now then, let us truly begin this time.
My priestess, here is my final declaration...
Yes.
Supreme Throne Hecate, closest of those to you,
raises her staff, Trigon, to open a path to the minds of others.
Look up and behold.
I am divine.
I am beyond your comprehension!
As one of the leaders of this, I'd like to say something as we finish.
I am the God of Atonement.
I judge their actions to be counter to
the laws of the world, as I see them in my knowledge and wisdom.
And I will condemn and punish them.
Thus, I believe this operation to be the best option.
I thank you for accompanying us.
It's far too late for thanks.
Words unnecessary.
Right. No one else will do it, so we will.
With all our wit, and all our might.
We shall weave our plans, and win the victory.
Then let us begin here, as well.
That voice... Is that you, Lamies-san?
So, you were told my name.
That is correct.
It's been a long time.
But why?
I volunteered for the Anti-Seal's creation,
as it would give me a chance to speak to you again.
This is the tuning mark that Khamsin carved into the town.
Activating Anti-Seal.
Calm yourself.
Nothing in reality is broken.
I didn't expect it to have such a violent effect.
I apologize.
No...
Something feels wrong.
I no longer feel at peace here.
Does anything feel wrong with your body?
I-I'm all right. So now...
Preparations for the ceremony are complete.
I see...
Um, Lamies-san?
Yes, Miss?
Why are you helping Ball Masque?
Is it because you want to go to paradise?
My reward is a portion of the power of existence the Denizens
will leave behind on their way to paradise.
I plan to fulfill my own desire
through my work for Ball Masque.
Yes, those are the Denizens who seek paradise.
This is Misaki City.
Let's go.
At midnight!
Our paradise!
We go to our paradise!
"Misaki City"
My, my... So many.
I never thought Ball Masque would
be nearly overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
It is as expected.
But when seen, it is almost terrifying.
All proceed toward the Grand Order!
Could there be any greater sight?
Will you look at that?
We've waited three thousand years for this day.
Yes. It will be a splendid day for the living and the dead.
This is nothing like three thousand years ago.
The cards we have, the number of our fellows here...
High Priestess, the time has come.
Proceed to the throne.
Very well.
We will now proceed to the third stage of the Grand Order,
activating the Grand Order Psalms,
and intoning the Ceremonial Prayer,
to create the paradise Xanadu.
Transferring back-up functions to the Conloquium.
Transfer confirmed.
Farewell,
my beloved Supreme Throne, Hecate.
Yes.
Let us meet again, Thousand Changes Sydonay.
It's not a shadow...
It's a projection of existence, cast inside the zone.
It wavers because
it has been chosen as the sacrifice for the summoning of divine power.
Sacrifice?
That is the role of the Priestess.
Of course, even if she is annihilated as a sacrifice here,
she will be reborn someday.
After the Creator God's divine power is summoned and grants a wish,
it sleeps for a time equivalent to the wish it grants.
While the god sleeps,
she will be reborn for the granting of our next wish,
awaiting the god's next awakening.
Thus, she appears when our wishes and prayers
have grown strong enough to call forth the god.
She is the forerunner of his next appearance.
Therefore, she is treated with the greatest respect.
This time, he's making a whole world.
How long it will be...
She's accepting a task she doesn't want.
So why is her expression so resolute?
Someone down there is different!
A Flame Haze?
This sky bores me.
Come down.
We are the stars...
The singing stars.
The stars who sing with dazzling light.
We are the birds... The birds who breathe flame.
We fly the heavens as we will.
Thus together, we birds and stars...
...become a galaxy, dazzling and aflame.
Damn it! So the first things they sent were the Four Gods of Earth?
I'd rather not have seen them again.
But we cannot stop.
Let's go.
Right, right. Be sure to protect me.
That's one of
the Four Gods of the Earth?
Flame Haze!
It's too late for you!
Take this!
I was so scared... You just attacked me.
Stop fighting, and return to the Crimson World!
Please!
Good...
Let's do this, Leraje.
We have no choice, do we?
Devour more of them!
Devour them, and increase your numbers,
my beautiful dead!
Yes, yes! Today is a banquet!
A banquet of blood and fire!
Stop, men.
I've heard tales of you from the Bright Flame, General of Evil Spirits.
Unlike us, He Who Walks with the Rain
neither enjoyed nor mastered the art of war.
And yet, you hurt him.
And in the end, you killed him.
That victory was a gift from the master and the General.
I, myself, was defeated in that battle.
Well, that's fine...
If I kill, slaughter, murder, and annihilate the evil spirits,
then someday, I'll have my revenge.
You have to get your fun in a war.
Let's both give this everything we have!
Very well. With all my weapons,
and all I have.
What?
It's coming.
Go!
Shoot them down!
We're going to search for a line we can break through.
Don't get shaken off until then!
Take this!
Leave this to me.
Speedy breakthrough.
We shall part here.
Good luck.
Right. See you later!
Shana-chan!
Kazumi!
Yuji...
Shana...
- Let's finish this! - Let's finish this!
Shana-chan...
Sakai-kun...
Sakai-kun is doing this for Shana-chan.
I'm sure of that.
And Shana-chan is really trying to defeat Sakai-kun.
Both of them care about the other more than anyone.
So why... Why must they do what the other doesn't want?
Why?
The two footsteps, they head toward the distant yonder
The words I told you said, "Let's leave everything behind"
Fly toward the future
The motive has a strong grasp on my heart Yes, this is the ultimate descent
The two of us are fellow soldiers flattering one another's pulses
If you are going to protect your love, you cannot reject battle
Without fudging a phrase, we rhyme down this hot path
Passing each other by, quarreling
Set free from the enchantment
If you are going to leave on a journey,
I will never let go of your hand again
Do you still remember the first time
Our eyes locked, just as it happened?
Even if I am engulfed by the vortex of slumber,
It will not vanish, I won't let it... It's our dream
To be as ONE
When you placed your hands on your cheeks and laughed
I thought, "I want to protect you"
We took a roundabout path, huh? But I've realized
That I live just for you
Snow of light flutters down the sky
Where the waning moon and stars go to snuggle
The story we have written
Will continue on forever
Shana and Yuji attack each other with heart and soul.
As she watches them, Yoshida's feelings compel her to take up the Giralda.
What does the wind visit upon the battlefield?
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"What the Wind Calls."
