Kanda's missing?
He was going to recover the Innocence discovered on the outskirts of Rome.
But as of one week ago,
he and the finders accompanying him have been completely out of contact.
The man who kidnapped her called himself Vittorio
Vittorio?!
You mean that thousand-year-old gladiator?
His wounds are healing.
Oh no!
Kanda!
[The Pride of Swordsmen]
Kanda!
Allen!
I'll finish you.
Kanda!
He's got a heartbeat. He's still alive!
Of course...
I'm not gonna kick it just yet...
Kanda...
Mr. Kanda!
Allen's arm can with stand even the most vicious of attacks from the Akuma...
Vittorio's sword has an Innocence fragment in it.
Even an exorcist's anti-Akuma weapon is not impervious.
Why does he have a sword like that?
If he can use the Innocence, then he's-
He's no host.
He's been taken by the Innocence, body and soul.
Taken?
We do not know where Vittorio got a hold of that sword,
but it seems that he cannot control the power of the Innocence as a host would be able to
The Innocence is so powerful that it completely ignores anything Vittorio wishes it to do
He wishes only to fight and defeat those stronger than himself.
It's a rogue Innocence fragment?
So Kanda fought without the use of his Innocence so that Vittorio's wouldn't activate.
It's no good.
He can't beat Vittorio..
Mr. Kanda!
There's no way you can move with a gaping wound like this.
Let me take a look.
Right.
Innocence, activate!
Lenalee!
I won't fight a woman.
Remove yourself.
Stop this!
Miss Claudia?
So Vittorio did take you!
I will not return.
No matter how you try to take me back, I will never go
Return to my home and tell my father and Paretti that I will never return!
Miss Claudia...
Wait!
I don't know if it'll work, but it may help his wounds.
I'll try it.
We'll talk afterwards about payment.
No need.
How's Allen?
He seems all right.
Though he was understandably shocked when he found himself unable to move his arm,
but he's recovering well.
The paralysis was only temporary.
Thank goodness.
Um, I'd like to ask you and Mr.Allen something.
What is it?
Mr. Kanda was so tired from fighting Vittorio
that we had to take refuge in a nearby mountain hut, where he slept for nearly two days straight.
During that time, in order to gain information,
I went about hearing the legends surrounding the area.
I met this lady here, and heard the story of Sandra and Vittorio
Our story begins more than one thousand years ago
The Emperor who united our land sired a beautiful daughter named Sandra.
When she turned sixteen, a great number of men came to woo her.
However,the Princess would not accept any proposal no matter how great her suitor.
"I will marry the strongest man in this world."
The Princess asked a swordsman in her father's employ named Vittorio to fight them.
It is said that the great battle continued even after the Princess fell ill and died,
and still continues to this day.
It seems that the Sardini family's home now stands where the Princess' palace once did.
So Vittorio thinks that Claudia is Princess Sandra?
I see!
So whenever he defeated an Akuma who came to take his Innocence, he reported it to Claudia!
The strongest man in the world has yet to appear.
He thought that the Akuma were suitors coming to claim Princess Sandra's hand.
Vittorio first appeared before Claudia one month ago
That corresponds pretty well to the date of the excavation and the appearance of the Akuma.
But in that case, where was he before then?
I believe he was sleeping in the ruins,
waiting for a worthy opponent to appear.
A worthy opponent?
As long as Vittorio holds an Innocence-endowed sword, more Akuma will appear.
Then, what about Miss Claudia?
She wasn't able to handle all the violence she witnessed.
She seemed completely taken in by the fantasy.
You can't! Your wounds!
They're healed.
Your wounds are so much smaller.
Where do you think you're going?
It's my job to defeat him and recover the Innocence.
But how?
Even if you manage to cut him with your Mugen, he'll just regenerate.
I'll take care of it.
You guys! There's another Akuma fighting Vittorio in the ruins!
You're not completely recovered!
You should rest up today, at least!
How can I?!
What if one of them gets to the Innocence during that time?
We'll hold them off.
I can't trust you.
Trust in me and Lenalee, and in Vittorio
Vittorio?
Vittorio won't lose to the likes of them.
He can't.
So, the Innocence won't be stolen.
Allen?
But, if there are enough Akuma, then Miss Claudia's life may be in danger.
We'll go to protect her.
You stay here and think about how to get the Innocence away from Vittorio
Think?!
Don't you dare order me!
Please.
If you think about it, I'm sure you can come up with a way.
Bastard!
Pedro, take care of him.
Right!
Mr. Kanda's really thinking hard...
Vittorio!
Vittorio, snap out of it!
You don't have to fight any more!
Princess Sandra died long ago!
You've been fighting blindly for a millennium!
You don't have to do this!
The Princess lives,
and I wish to fight on.
I must fulfill her wish.
Come.
Wake up! Your fight is long over!
It is not over!
You loved Princess Sandra!
That's why you could never let a stranger have her!
I am Her Majesty's servant!
I merely wish to fulfill her orders!
Vittorio thinks you're Princess Sandra!
You're the only one who can stop him!
Do you want him to fight on forever? Do you want to live here with him forever?
That's fine.
Vittorio saved me.
He rescued me from my life as a prisoner unable to decide anything for myself.
At first, I was scared.
I didn't know why he kept appearing before me.
Each time, though, he merely made his report and left.
That night, though, he spoke to me for the first time.
Why are you crying?
My father is making me marry!
Vittorio rescued me from that place.
Put down your sword!
If you don't stop fighting, Claudia will be in danger!
Vittorio's very existence draws the Akuma to him.
You can't live in peace with him.
I knew you couldn't do it!
Kanda?!
Come with me!
Don't be so cocky!
Die!
Kanda!
If you won't give up your sword, this is the only way I can make you...
Vittorio!
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid of losing.
No, I want to lose...
I want to lose, and end this all...
But I can't allow her to marry another man!
I can't lose!
I must stand victorious, for all eternity!
Vittorio!
Vittorio, wake up!
You don't have to fight!
Let's go somewhere quiet, together.
Princess...
No, I knew that you were not the Princess.
The Princess is already dead...
Even so, I was happy fighting for you.
You must live for yourself,
as Sandra did...
Vittorio..
Vittorio!
No!
Don't die, Vittorio!
Three days later, Claudia returned to the Sardini estate, got her things together, and left again.
She chose to live her life of her own accord.
Torimodosu yo kono ryoute de
I can see the light of tomorrow,
boku ni wa mieru ashita no hikari ga
and l will take it back with my own hands.
So proud so proud.
Hitori asobi ni akiteru mitai
You seem to get tired of playing alone.
Kokoro no koe wa todoiteiru kai
Will the voice of my heart reach you?
Kikoeru mono sore ga kotae
Whatever you will hear, that will be my answer.
Rikutsu janai kono omoi ga
This feeling isn't logical,
tashika na hitotsu no pride
it surely comes from my pride.
Mukashi ni mita eiga mitai
I know how I will be in the future,
boku ni wa mieru ashita no jibun ga
it will be like that movie we saw a long time ago.
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara hashitteru
I want to be stronger and stronger so I run.
Ushinatta mono umeyou toshite
To bury what we lost,
hazushite shimatta pride
I threw away my pride.
Torimodosu yo kono ryoute de
I can see the pride of tomorrow,
boku ni wa mieru ashita no pride
and I will take it back with my own hands.
