I won't let you kill Hibiki.
Alcor!
The trial has ended.
You should have no reason to appear.
Yes, indeed.
You have succeeded at the trial of Polaris.
But now, I shall begin an attack of my own will.
Your "will"?
That's strange talk for a Septentrion.
The will that has sprouted in me is not due to Polaris.
A strange feeling, isn't it?
I will kill you and entrust hope to Hibiki.
Hope? To me?
Is that so? Well, fine.
I'll do it... Alcor.
Yes, Yamato. My...
first friend.
The trial of Polaris...
Seven days of challenging the gods has ended.
The world can be remade by those humans who have survived.
Which is the right choice?
What did we hope to achieve by fighting?
What did we hope to gain?
We defeated the seven Septentriones, right?
What the heck? We're still not safe?!
The trial to test humanity is over.
Now, the audience with Polaris will begin.
What... will happen?
If Yamato has his way,
the law of the world will be rewritten,
and a world of meritocracy begin.
Forcibly?
It'll be like the world was always that way.
I'm scared...
I don't want somethin' like that!
That's why we have... to stop...
Hibiki! Hibiki!
Sunday of Realization - I
Your power increases the closer you get to the tower.
I see. So, I was lured here?
My connection to you ends today.
In the end, I will teach you the concept of death.
I'm quite interested in that.
But, sadly, it seems I won't have the opportunity.
Because I will kill you here and now.
Then you'll entrust Hibiki with a choice?
Yes. That's what I want.
It's strange I've come to think that way, isn't it?
The Sparkling One, eh?
Yes. Through meeting him, I was changed.
For the first time, I was a person, not just some system.
My heart now pounds over a future I can't predict.
It's thrilling.
It's a delusion. Either that, or you're broken.
Oh, really?
Even you, Yamato, have paid Hibiki notice this whole time.
Are you broken, too?
Neither my will nor my intentions have changed.
He's merely a part of my plans. A tool.
Is that so? You speak like Polaris.
Alcor.
You are a system. Stop trying to think.
If you do, I'll take you to the future that will be remade.
Yamato.
The future you imagine is of a world of choices denied.
That doesn't make me happy.
A friend's dead face clip has arrived.
Dead Face @ Alcor 1 Unread Mail.
Dead Face @ Yamato Hotsuin 1 Unread Mail.
I see.
I'll do it, Alcor.
I will... kill you.
Dead Face @ Yamato Hotsuin Dead Face @ Alcor 2 Unread Mails.
Yamato's and Alcor's dead face clips.
So, one of them will be right, huh?
I have to go!
If you go now, you'll just get killed.
What can you do against those monsters?!
I made a promise.
I would stop Yamato.
That's what I promised.
You made that promise?!
It's the one thing that Yamato and I
exchanged that's been somewhat human.
If I can't agree, I should pass judgment.
Makoto!
I... will help the bureau chief.
What? No way!
You can't go help him, can you?!
Shijima. Nitta. Kuze.
I've caused you much unpleasantness.
I know I can't make up for that.
It wasn't your fault, was it?
You just carried out your orders.
I don't know if that's right or not, but...
Exactly. I don't know if it's right or not.
However...
No matter what happens to me, I will follow the chief.
That's what I've decided.
So then... you loved him?
You make it sound so foolish.
I'd lost faith in the world.
Injury had put an end to my life as an agent of the state,
but he gave me back the world in the palm of my hand.
The bureau chief gave me a sense of purpose.
Though, in living for his purpose,
I may have just been avoiding things.
If there's a future that he wants,
then I want to make it happen.
That's all.
You have no doubts about the future Yamato plans?!
I had lost hope in the future.
Then, Hotsuin took me in.
From the start, I could speak nothing of the future.
But isn't that the end of thought, which people have depended on?!
Hibiki!
That's going too far.
You're right.
All I can do is rely on the hopes of others.
I'm a weak human.
And Yamato is hope?
He is to me.
Pallas Athena isn't ready yet?
A friend's dead face clip has arrived.
Makoto!
The dead face clip can be avoided.
That's what you've said, isn't it?
But it's reckless not to have a plan!
Indeed.
But I'd always been prepared to throw down my life.
If it's for his sake, I have no regrets.
But that's just wrong!
You're quite intelligent.
But it seems you don't understand.
This is my final request: Take care of the chief.
Makoto!
That's such a cruel way to say it!
Yamato.
Even for one who can wield the power of Ryumyaku,
there are limits to the human body.
It's time.
Healing is complete.
Cerberus!
Silence him.
True to form, Yamato.
To be expected of the human I initially chose.
Cerberus!
There are no demons you can soon summon, are there?
The system that you made...
It determines the abilities of the user
and can summon the appropriate demon, yes?
That's right.
It's made so that more powerful demons
can be called to match the user's growth.
I see. Now that you've defeated BeneTnasch...
I'll be using this!
I won't let you.
Unfortunately, this game with you is ended.
Sir.
You've been my... reason for living.
Thank you.
Makoto.
You fool.
"Thank you," huh?
To her, you were hope.
Alcor.
Nebiros! Zao Gongeng!
Could be I'm at a disadvantage.
How long as it been since we've had such fun, Yamato?
Fun?
I've never once thought that, being with you.
Really? Those words sadden me the most.
You've said that you're an observer of human civilization.
I just played with you.
I see. You were kind and played with me?
Thank you.
I'll ask you, now, at the end: Why did you follow me so?
Because you're intriguing.
When you were young, I thought you were the Sparkling One.
But I wasn't this "Sparkling One" of which you speak.
Yamato, the path you're trying to take is...
Pitch black.
Could be.
Have you not once amended your thinking?
There's no need for me to stop.
The world was already corrupt when I was born.
The inept may avert their eyes,
but human society is past help.
Someone must enact change.
And I'm the only one who can do it.
Things can be lost through brute force, yes?
Irrelevant.
I said I would shoulder that sin myself.
Yamato.
Why do you seek to bear everything on such small shoulders?
The human heart is not made that way, is it?
Shut your mouth.
You were born with extraordinary abilities.
Being different from normal children,
you bore the responsibility of the transcendent,
were bound by restrictions.
That's why you're so interesting.
And I came to like you.
Shut up. I win.
Yes, indeed.
But if I don't stop you, you will kill Hibiki.
Bastard!
I'm sorry, Yamato.
I've broken you, haven't I?
What are you talking about?
I'm the one who's made you this way, Hotsuin.
I though it for the best, but it's ended up driving you mad.
Yamato.
I've enjoyed the time we've spent together.
Oh, really?
Anyone who'd feel joy over this is a child.
I'll play with you again.
I understand now.
I thought for sure that, together,
we could go toward a splendid future.
Yamato. Somehow, in the new world...
Alcor!
You plan to kill us both?
Yamato.
Yamato! Alcor!
Goodbye.
Stop it!

Makoto Sako
Alcor. Yamato.
THIS is the trial?
I've had enough!
Are you satisfied, Polaris?!
So you've come to stop me, Hibiki?
Yamato!
Where's Alcor? Where's Makoto?
Fools.
They're dead?
Yes. I killed them.
Your decision... You have to go that far?!
Yes.
It has begun. The change.
The world will be broken!
To be reformed, to be rewritten will take but an instant.
The gate shall appear.
The Transport Terminal.
It's time to choose. I shall go to Polaris.
Yamato!
It's thanks to you all that we defeated all our enemies.
I'm grateful.
You made them run amok on purpose?
If you're going to stop me, then come.
If you have the strength to defeat them.
Yamato!
The physical limit has been reached.
Has it been protected?
Goodbye, Hibiki Kuze.
Hee ho!
Hibiki!
Daichi! Nitta!
Hibiki! What's going on here?
Yamato went to meet Polaris.
So then, Alcor...
No way!
H-He's a Septentrion, right?!
That's how powerful Yamato is.
It's no good. I can't follow that monster!
Monster, huh?
Lugh!
Hibiki, we'll handle things here somehow.
Right, Nitta?
Yes. Don't worry.
We've survived these seven days, so we're tough!
I can't leave you!
Who knows what kind of obstacles
there'll be when the world is reformed.
We have to stay together!
I wish we could together.
But it looks like that's far from certain.
Also, we can't stop him.
Hibiki!
The seven days we fought weren't in vain.
I mean, you remained till the end!
Go, Hibiki! You're the hope of us all!
Byakko!
Hee ho!
Daichi! Nitta!
Stay back, Hibiki!
Please, go!
I'm sure the world will turn out how he wants.
That'll be good, right?
Yeah. Hibiki's smarter than us. It'll be fine.
Yeah.
Huh?
Who is Hibiki again? It's like...
my memories... are fading.
Yeah. Everything is disappear--
But he... I remember he was a friend.
But why did this happen to us?
Huh? Who am I?
It's kinda like... I'm suddenly super anxious.
Yamato!
Hibiki.
Nitta and Daichi both disappeared. Now...
The world is just you and me.
I see.
I thought you wouldn't arrive at Polaris' side, but...
Somehow, you have.
It seems audience will not be granted till I settle things with you.
That is the judgment.
Yamato, I'll keep my promise.
Promise?
That I'll beat you and have audience with Polaris!
It seems you have no more hesitation.
Yes, that's good. Hibiki!
Cerberus!
Byakko!
