I'm sorry.
Again...
Once again, I've been rejected, and am helpless.
I always try to do everything myself, and end up doing nothing.
So everyone tries to stop me, and leaves.
I'd decided that once again, I would fight for her.
Yet once again, I hesitate.
Freedom.
Lost duty.
Duty... Yes.
With my duty as a Flame Haze gone,
I am now truly free.
And I stand, frightened, before that freedom.
I know most of what's going on.
We've finished our homework, and here we are!
I bet I know what's wrong.
You were thinking you had to do something for the Engaged Link.
But you were locked in, so you got all sad.
So they don't need your help, huh?
Oh, guess I was right.
This is not the correct order, indeed.
Right, right.
Well, how long will you stand here?
Thousand Changes is on his way.
If you don't want a certain someone to get killed, you have to act yourself.
Do you have enough stuff left to do for you to worry?
The Engaged Link has gone with the Hyakki Yakou.
They took Miss Kazumi and the old men and left.
Which means there's only one thing for you to do.
Swift action.
Get going.
You don't want to lose them while you hesitate, right?
Understood, indeed.
Do not hesitate. Act.
If you do not want to lose them...
A warning from a slayer who lost her primary objective...
It's easier to do something than to worry about it.
You never know what's gonna come in handy!
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."
I know not what lies ahead, but still I advance.
The world changes, and the humans and Denizens change with it.
Is this an illusion?
We've been looking for you, Invitation of Cheerful Playing Rofocale.
My, my...
We had to slowly surround you, and lure you into a trap.
Without that trouble we wouldn't have been able to catch you.
Hello, Transposer of Corpses and Bodies, and Arts and Crafts of Application.
For you to have gone to all this trouble... Is there a song you'd like to hear?
Of course not.
A shame.
I am but a musician. What else can I offer?
You know what we want!
Of all their Servants that we know of, you are the fastest to find.
Servants?
Oh...
Were you not using your clairvoyance to monitor the Misaki City situation?
We have a request.
Oh?
An oracle by the God of Guidance.
"The Egg of the World"
I had no idea that seeing the flow of power by myself was so difficult.
It won't be much longer before she'll learn all of Silver's attack patterns.
I need new tactics.
Excuse me!
Late arrival.
Thank you for coming.
The boy's personality grows stronger.
This is interesting.
I've finally taken stock of the battlefield.
And I think that is a real threat.
So now Margery-san's here, too?
What did Bel-Peol say?
She believes Margery and the Mobilizer of Ceremonial Equipment
infiltrated the castle, to plant something.
She's investigating now.
Very well.
If the Chanter of Elegies is here...
Yes, we took care of everything.
Come to think of it, he was front and center. This is okay, right?
The Spiral Organ has given us information.
And provided the necessary information to analyze the Grand Order Psalm, indeed.
He is uninterested in aiding us further, but I don't think he wishes us harm.
Currently trust.
She was going round and round,
so we dragged her here.
We did what we could as friends, but the rest is your job.
Yes.
Let's go, Wilhelmina.
Understood, indeed.
A major explosion has occurred in central block 24.
Its color is peach. No intruders have been sighted.
Another sighting, after the purple lightning sighted in block 4.
The Scatterer of Sparkling Light and the Braider of Trembling Might...
I could easily see either of them appearing.
This feels too deliberate...
Either way, I'll have to divert some men to search.
We shall assume the first report was a trap.
Thus, your primary task is investigation, not combat.
Yes, ma'am.
The enemy impresses me.
They'll keep this fun until the end.
Strategist, I would like to make a suggestion.
What is it?
Just in case,
I suggest placing some defensive forces in the central control room where you sit.
I appreciate your concern, but it's unnecessary.
Unnecessary? But...
All the preparations that I was tasked with are complete.
There's no further need to protect me.
It's too late...
No matter what they do.
Then you succeeded in capturing Rofocale?
Yes, they report they're still engaged in combat in Misaki City.
Depending on their negotiations, the oracle may make it in time.
There's one hour until midnight, when we expect the tides of battle to change.
Yes. We'll need the oracle before then.
If that massive influence is used,
it should have some effect on the Denizens.
Either way, we've done all we can.
All we can do now is watch.
What will constitute a victory?
Whose approval shall we seek?
I see...
Then you wish to use my god's power to spread the
Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer's plan across the world?
Y-Yes, that's it.
Impossible.
Impossible? You're his Servant, right?
We heard the oracles of the God of Guidance are given by contacting his Servants!
Yes. That is correct.
However...
Then stop talking and...
Thank you, Brigid.
We've gone to much trouble to meet you.
Would you at least tell us why it's impossible?
Very well. Then...
Why is it impossible?
In other words, why is there no reason it can be done?
It is simple. Very simple.
That which will become, even if left alone...
That which is already on such a path...
Needs no guidance.
Where there is no reason,
our God of Guidance,
Shaher, the Thunderous Chant of Awakening, cannot be.
It is quite simple.
And natural.
Cannot be?
When one of the things we Servants see and hear
is a flame that will vanish
without guidance,
we are given the order to instruct,
and the divine power is summoned.
Once we're through this...
They won't let us get there that easily, huh?
Yes!
It hurts.
Was that a bit cruel?
There is nothing to fear.
We're killing them either way.
Grim Reaper!
Whenever I fight a foe who doesn't fear my dead,
it's always an exhilarating experience.
Is it not? My god, Tezcatlipoca.
All is well.
Is all not well?
Does it not go almost too well?
My comrades must be welcomed with joy!
Today, we are birds.
We take flight before difficult winds.
We look down from the world of stars.
And see, in our hearts, how small our world is.
The plan of the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer
is already a minor error added to that path.
It does not merit our god's functions, awakening and transmission.
Then what conditions must be fulfilled,
before the summoning of divine power becomes possible?
First, is reality.
If something happening in Misaki City
catches my god's eye, it's possible...
The plan of the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer must count!
It's not enough.
However,
the stage there is a battlefield, on which a new world is being created.
None know what will happen.
If you're fortunate,
something unexpected may occur.
What is this?
Whoa!
Hey, Khamsin!
Don't stand out too much! You're scaring me!
But, Gyuuki-san, if we hadn't shot down that fireball, it would've hit us.
We have to worry about the girl inside, too.
Just do what you can to help me drive safely.
You want me to deal with the boss of Hyakki Yakou?
Then you want me to leave?
That's what this would mean.
I just set everything up to take him down, too.
I'll deal with it.
Go be useful to the master.
The master, huh?
Does that thing have any right to order us around now?
Don't say that.
He took that role because he wanted it.
There's nothing wrong with answering his resolve.
Got it. See you soon.
Don't die, Ribesal.
Yeah. It's a bit too late for that.
They're trying to separate me from the master?
Margery-san, I'm sorry for earlier.
This is war. I won't let it bother me.
But for now...
Let us give you a hard punch!
You get more than one punch!
It's time, indeed.
Cannot fail.
The pig flew up in the air.
The man in brown
soon brought him down! Go!
Dickery, dickery, dickery, dare!
No!
I shan't let you interfere.
It's no good... I can't stop it!
That can't be...
Yuji's Unrestricted Method?
Yuji Sakai's Unrestricted Method?
Not the Snake's, but Yuji Sakai's own...
This isn't good...
I have to finish this before he masters it!
Rings?
They're going to hit us with the Psalm again?
They're going to hit the World Egg with the rings!
If I use that Unrestricted Method...
I did it.
The moon and stars are illuminating me
On top of the carpet with dancing sparks
You are right in front of me, glowing red in the light
Your honest eyes are twinkling
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 uses her Unrestricted Methods,
and makes her true intentions known across the battlefield.
And the Four Gods of the Earth renew their assault.
As everyone fights their hardest,
the battlefield is filled with chaos and flames.
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"One Reason."
