Romeo...
For the sake of the people of Neo Verona...
For the sake of everyone's happiness...
I will go to Escalus when this fight is over.
In life and in death,
we will be together eternally.
Forgive me but I must break our vow.
But Romeo, I know I can entrust Neo Verona to you.
I'm so happy...
...that I met you...
Romeo.
Nothing will ever be born from the sword.
But...
If there's something I can do for Juliet...
then...
Red Whirlwind.
Tybalt.
You've returned?
I will kill Montague...
...before any of you do.
Nothing is born from hatred.
It can only cause pain.
For the other person,
and yourself.
If I offer my life in atonement for our sins, then it will all be over...
Offer your life?
What do you mean?
Hidden deep in Neo Verona's Keep is a great tree that supports the world, Escalus.
Escalus?
Escalus's life force is coming to an end.
When its life force is gone, the world will crumble and cease to exist.
The goddess Escalus, who cherishes Neo Verona...
Through the generations, the daughters of the Capulet House have lived side by side with Escalus.
This mark...
This is the seed of Escalus planted within me.
Giving sprout to it and safeguarding the world is my fate.
I wonder why?
I wasn't able to speak of this to anyone...
...but I was able to tell you.
Perhaps it is because you're Romeo's elder brother.
Tybalt, please look after Romeo.
Lend Romeo your strength.
Is it so necessary for you to offer your life?
I have come to this decision myself for the sake of everyone alive in this world.
Thank you for listening.
I'm going now.
Juliet!
This Neo Verona...
...will fall to ruin?
Is that really true?
And Juliet...
Is there no other way?
Romeo?
Mother, forgive me.
I'll be returning to the Keep now,
and I will kill my father.
I will draw the curtain on the Montague House with my own hands.
I'm sorry, Romeo!
Despite everything that's happened, we ended up forcing you and Juliet...
...to carry the burdens of the Montague and Capulet Houses, didn't we?
I'm leaving.
But... is that truly the path that will lead to love?
Romeo!
Once this fight is over, you'll finally be able to walk in front of everyone as a young woman!
Together with Romeo.
In Willy's next play, I swear I will have you as my partner.
Though it will be as Odin, of course!
Now that she can finally show herself as a woman, there's no need for her to dress as a man...
Why not?!
She looks better that way...
Emilia, you'll never be able to find a good man if you say things like that.
What's that?! The sudden wisdom of a married woman?
If I wanted to, I could-
Juliet, it's time.
I'm coming.
Well then. I'm off.
Be safe.
We will now set forth for Neo Verona Keep.
Our aim is Montague, and him alone!
Return Neo Verona to its citizens!
Beneath the Iris Banner!
Lady Juliet.
On that day fourteen years ago,
I took you and Cordelia, both still so small,
and left a fortress behind me...
And now we return!
Finally, the day has come that Juliet will be the mistress of that Keep.
After this, we will no longer run, hide, or fight.
Juliet.
The Capulet forces are coming!
They're heading straight for the Keep!
His Excellency, the Grand Duke, has issued orders to kill any who try to flee from the Keep.
Let them go.
But...
If any of you want to flee, you should.
Setting fire to the town...
This will spells the end for the Duke.
If I flee to the city, I'll be killed by the commoners.
If I return to the Duke, I'll also be killed!
Where should I go...?
Father...
Where?
The Capulet girl I failed to kill that night...
I regret nothing I have done.
If I had one, it would be...
...Juliet and how I allowed you to escape...
You.
Who are you?
There was a time I cursed the world, and wondered why I was born into it...
...but in the end, I found my answer.
I was born to kill you.
Who are you?
Volumnia du Capulet.
I recall a woman by that name.
I am her son.
The blood that flows in me flows in you!
I am Juliet Fiamatta Asto Capulet.
Open the gate, please.
We do not intend to harm you.
If we can, we wish to reach Montague without spilling a single drop of blood.
We wish to make a new Neo Verona together with you; a place where swords are no longer needed.
Open the gate!
Come with us along the path that leads to a new Neo Verona!
Your Highness, Lady Capulet.
The Keep is yours.
They opened it!
We will now enter Neo Verona Keep!
Volumnia... I had heard she was dead.
I, who sought to eradicate the blood of the Capulets with my own hands...
...have a son of Capulet blood?
Fall by that son's hands, Montague!
Where is Escalus?
Tell me how I can prevent Juliet from becoming the new tree!
What do you mean by that?
Don't play the fool!
Why should Juliet have to offer her life?
Answer!
Offer her life?
Her life...
The Capulet girl's life...
What holds your tongue? Answer!
Grand Duke!
You're interfering.
It will be I who draws the curtain on the Montague House.
Hands off!
That which gives Escalus life...
Capulet blood...
It is all...
It was all...
...by Escalus's will!!
Leontes Bando Montague!
Prepare for justice!
Capulet's daughter...
You held the key to all of it...
...since the beginning?
Swords are no longer needed.
I no longer hate you for putting the Capulet family to the sword fourteen years ago.
Nor do I intend to lay hands of vengeance upon you.
What I desire is neither vengeance nor the revival of my House!
I wish only to take Neo Verona from your hands and return it to its citizens.
Montague, I will have you relinquish the Keep and leave Neo Verona.
Stand down!
I thought if I only had the power,
I could make Fate submit to me.
Glory...
...spreads and widens,
like the ripples in water caused by the fall of a raindrop...
...and then... comes to nothing.
You!
It's all your fault! Everything!
Did you... poison your dagger...?
Capulet...
Titus...
Volumnia...
They were all... all my...
I-I did it!
I k-killed him!
Montague!
Fool!
Begone.
Why?
I-I'm a hero!
Didn't you all want to kill Montague? Right?
You aren't even worth killing!
Why...?
Why did they never... love me?
Did you...
...wish to be loved?
I don't need your pity...
Out of the whole world, I was the most... feared...
Father...
In the end, nothing is born from the sword.
My father trusted power over love, and by power he was felled.
It may be that this man... was afraid to love.
And so he sought succor in the sword.
Afraid to love?
Because, if you love too deeply, you cannot bear the pain of its loss.
Juliet?
Forgive me, Romeo.
I cannot keep our vow.
Harmony kept since ages long past;
red swaddling clothes.
Wipe the cheek of the Goddess,
and calm the earth's reprimands.
Though two hearts may seek each other,
they mingle only through a sword of tears.
Next time, Romeo and Juliet, Act Twenty-Three:
"Budding" ~Death's Kiss~
Is this truly a love that will never bear fruit?
