Yo, what do you think you're doing?!
Give it back!
That's my snack!
Just let it go.
Pretend you gave it to a cute girl.
It's bad behavior for a pet to steal its master's snack!
You need to be disciplined!
The hell is that noise?
You were making other noises last week!
Hey, give it back!
Gimmie!
He's no different from an animal.
So, I have a suggestion to make.
If it's abandoning this thing, I'm in.
That's not it.
That's our new friend.
How do you guys feel about calling our buddy "beast" or "thing"?
I am calling it that.
No, that's not what I was getting at.
You mean we should give it a name.
Yes! That's it exactly!
We should name it Beast.
Princess, it's cute, isn't it?
I suppose.
Then give it a cute name!
Gagaronpew.
Pardon?
Gagaronpew. That's cute right?
Hey, give it back! Give it back!
How about giving it the a name of a flower?
What about a legendary goddess?
It's Gagaronpew.
Hold your horses.
Don't be so hasty!
I know some people who named their daughter Antoinette.
She's clearly Japanese.
On top of that, she looks just like her father, and definitely not like an Antoinette.
Her mother keeps mispronouncing her name as "A-twat-eh".
And the characters they used are
an to wa net
apricot eternity net
apricot, eternity, and then net.
What the hell is up with the last character?!
That's not Japanese—that's English!
So what are you trying to say?
Your name is who you are, so you can't decide it on a whim.
To give a fitting name, you need to understand who it is and what it's like!
You have a point...
How's Lovely-cute?
Don't name it the first thing that comes to mind!
Floflahrlyleaylamorn.
That means—
Too long!
You only get four syllables!
It needs to be four syllables or less!
It's too hard with just four.
That's how we used to do it!
Besides, you want to name it without knowing its sex?
Oh yeah, there's that too.
It didn't even occur to you?
Yo, get down here.
I need to see if you have any balls.
Well?
See any?
You think I could tell from that?!
C'mere!
Don't just sit there stuffing your face.
Or you'll be Goemon!
Your name is Goemon!
It's four syllables!
Isn't that only three?
Why do you care about that?!
Fine, Pet.
From now on, your name is Pet.
No, that's not cute at all.
It's a pet, so that's that.
Oh boy...
Shall we go, then?
Which path are we taking?
I'm thinking of the coastal one.
Oh, so we'll see the sea!
I've had it up to here with my DT!
Won't you help me lose my DT (lose my DT)
I want to return home as a real man
(Can I help?)
The treasure I've kept my whole life is too saddening to bear (saddening to bear)
I've long since hoped to give it up to you
Since I crossed worlds and met you, we've hardly been apart
I dream every night, but not always soundly
I toss and turn as my Hyperion bursts into flames
How can I cool my fevered aura?
The closer we become, and the further we clash,
the more my Alma Gear rises for battle
Won't you help me lose my DT (lose my DT)
My right hand has served me faithfully, but now we must part (Farewell!)
It is decided; we shall no longer be apart (no longer be apart)
I won't let you go until our score is settled
(Tonight's the night!)
I will fight to lose what is mine
This area is very nice.
Yes, there are lot of old families here.
Is that it?
Yes, that's my family's estate.
Will we be the only ones living here?
Our butler, Sebastian, will be there.
He'll take care of everything, so you don't have to worry about anything.
I've been waiting for you, Sir Erec.
I'm glad you're safe.
When I heard that your honor was tarnished in battle...
My apologies.
I made you worry.
Um, is this the butler, Sebastian?
It's my fiancée, Emilia.
Fiancée?!
Sir Erec, who might this be?
He's my subordinate, Variation.
Oh, then you're the one who saved Sir Erec on the battlefield!
Oh no, the others helped as well.
Thank you so much.
Uh, ah, it was nothing!
Why don't we chat inside?
Certainly!
We've been awaiting you, young master.
Thank you, Sebastian.
Sir Variation, this will be your room.
Is that lady also living here?
No, she might be his fiancée, but they haven't been wed yet.
She comes here from her own estate every day.
She is a great lady.
No, she is wonderful.
Coming here is a balm for my body and heart.
Um, Sir Erec.
This is a salve that has been passed down in my family.
I heard that you were wounded.
Where exactly was that?
It's not fully healed yet, right?
Please show me your wound.
I will apply it for you.
No!
Uh, I'm sorry, Emilia.
No!
An Erec without balls is no Erec of mine!
Emilia!
No, Emilia mustn't find out!
No, thank you.
Variation! We're going out!
Sir Erec, I...
Why aren't you going?
Huh? Isn't Lady Emilia coming, too?
Pardon me for asking, but did something happen?
Nothing happened.
Then why does Lady Emilia look so sad?
Because you tried to leave her here, right?
Sir Erec...
Young master...
Emilia!
Yes?
Come with us.
Is that all right?
Of course!
So should I tell Emilia?
It couldn't be!
I don't need my balls to love you.
No!
Emilia!
This is no good!
It's beyond that hill.
This way, then.
Wow, this is amazing!
There are fish here!
He's almost like a child.
How many children would you like to have?
What?
I mean...
with me...
Can I have children in my current state?
Well, Sir Erec?
How should I know?
I'm sorry, Sir Erec.
You're right, children aren't born based on wishes alone.
Children are a blessing from the heavens.
Ball-essing!
Sir Erec?
God!
What could I possibly say to Emilia?!
Lady Emilia?
How exactly was Sir Erec wounded?
To be honest, we don't know either.
I believe he simply did not wish for us to worry.
I see.
Please don't worry.
I'm sure Sir Erec will be well again.
Once his wounds have healed, I am sure he will want to settle the score with DT once and for all!
DT?
He's the one who wounded Sir Erec.
Well, I was actually defeated by him, as well.
He fell from the sky.
From the sky?
He uses strange moves, and Sir Erec was also taken off guard.
Damn you, DT!
What are you doing right now?!
It's a carriage.
Looks like someone's here.
You're late, Erec.
Long time no see, Limpus, Gabriella!
Miss Emilia was with you too?
You're as beautiful as ever.
Sir Erec, are you all right?
Please tell us, Erec.
What kind of person was able to beat you?
There's not much to tell.
Sir Erec.
I've brought you some of our family's secret medicine.
I don't need medicine.
If you brew this and drink it, any wound will be healed.
I just need to drink it?
Yes.
I'll gladly accept it.
Then I'll bring you a freshly brewed cup later.
Hey, Sebastian, please make dinner early.
Certainly.
Who are they?
They are Sir Erec's distant relatives,
Sir Limpus and his sister, Lady Gabriella.
Actually, the Dascas family has been remarkably—
I'll be going now.
Please wait.
Don't tell us you're going home, Miss Emilia.
You should stay here as well.
He said "as well."
That's how he is.
We all need to liven this place up and bring back the Erec we once knew!
Yes, exactly!
Sebastian, get us some alcohol as well.
He said "as well."
Then please wait a moment while I prepare your meal.
The medicine passed down in the Dascas family is not for wounds.
It does perk up a certain part that gets hard.
Hard as a bone, a bone, into a boner!
That's vulgar, Limpus.
Vulgar or not, the future of the Dascas family lies in your hands.
You will seduce Erec and marry into the Dukakis family.
That's vulgar, Limpus.
That was not vulgar.
If you seduce Erec, I will gently console the heartbroken Miss Emilia.
I will conquer her heart and marry her.
Sister, I pray that you will succeed.
As do I, Limpus.
If it won't bloom, make the chestnut blossoms bloom.
That's vulgar, Limpus.
This has quite the intense smell.
The stronger the smell, the stronger the effect.
I hope it really will work.
It'll work better if you lie down.
I see.
What are you doing, Gabriella?
My body feels kind of hot.
Stop doing things that could give the wrong impression.
Maybe it's not wrong...
I've...
always thought...
you were...
Stop it, Gabriella!
Cool your head!
Please don't leave, Sir Erec!
Go back to your room.
Ow, that hurts!
That hurts, Sir Erec!
I'm sorry. I didn't think I put that much force into it.
You're horrible, Sir Erec.
What's going on, Gabriella?!
Oh my god, what is this?
I hope you'll take responsibility for this!
Sir Erec!
Did something happen?
Sir Erec took me and...
roughed me up.
Lady Emilia!
If she needs treatment, I will call for someone.
Do you think that will be enough after you laid hands on my sister?
You're blowing it out of proportion.
I just grabbed her wrist.
You think anybody will believe that after you drank the medicine?
Do you even have any balls?!
Balls...
So that means you want to settle this with the sword.
A duel? So be it.
If I win, I'll have you accept that both Gabriella and my honor are untainted.
If I win, I'll have you take responsibility!
I'll be waiting at the Misty Woods tomorrow morning!
Gabriella, we're leaving.
Wait, Limpus!
Don't leave me here!
So he really didn't touch you.
Not at all.
It's unbelievable.
I gave him so many opportunities.
I guess the rumors of him having an iron will are true.
We have no choice but to duel.
But what are you going to do?
Can you win against him?
He cares deeply about honor, but I couldn't care less.
You're so great, Limpus.
Tomorrow is the day the Dascas family makes a glorious comeback.
Those bastards...
Sir Erec!
Those guys were scheming from the beginning!
They wanted to seduce and trick you!
All because their family is facing difficult times!
I figured as much.
There's no need to accept this duel!
No, that's all the more reason to settle this with a duel.
Why?
There's no denying that I hurt Emilia.
Lord, grant me your protection.
Lord...
We know what you're planning!
You tried to use your feminine wiles to marry into his family!
Whatever do you mean?
Don't play dumb!
Are you making a story up to get out of the duel?
You're the ones making things up!
If I win, I'll have you accept that nothing happened.
If we win, you'll take responsibility by marrying Gabriella.
I knew that was your aim all along!
Variation, leave it be.
This is my fight.
That's right.
Winning against that youngster would do us no good.
You bastard! I knew it!
I have a fiancée.
If you're after my fortune, you can have that instead.
How about that?
What should we do?
That's not a bad deal.
You can marry another rich guy instead.
So the duel's terms are okay, then?
Yes, I accept them.
Then Sicoderio, give me a hand!
I'm here to help, Limpus, my lord!
Help?!
We never said that it wasn't allowed.
Damn you!
No need to interfere, Variation.
I heard that, Erec.
You'll regret those words.
Aguayo, give me a hand.
I've come to help!
Solitario, give me a hand.
I've come to help!
Berasco, give me a hand.
Satanico, give me a hand.
Bucanero, give me a hand.
Gerero, give me a hand.
Cut it out already!
They're just a bunch of goons.
Come at me!
Limpus, can we win like this?
Erec is still recovering.
His stamina's got to be limited.
Limpus, how about finally facing me yourself?
Gran Exotico, give me a hand.
Gran Exotico, give us a hand!
How is this acceptable?!
See, he's getting tired.
Just one more push.
Sir Erec!
I won't lose!
For Emilia's sake, I won't lose!
Sir Erec!
No helping allowed!
I didn't think I'd get tired this fast.
Sir Erec!
Emilia!
I believe that you will be victorious!
Wait, I'm your opponent!
Lady Emilia!
Sir Erec!
Emilia!
This victory is for you!
You're the only one left.
Look, Erec, are you going to cut down an unarmed man?
So you'll admit that this was all part of your scheme?
I never said that I give up!
Young master!
How low can you be?!
You lose.
Now hand over your fortune and...
Huh?
That didn't work!
Why didn't that work?
Limpus!
Turn away from the light, Limpus!
Emilia, this victory belongs to you.
Thank you.
But are you all right, Sir Erec?
Men should be in quite unbearable pain.
Is that so?
It is.
How were you able to withstand that last attack?
I've been training.
Is that something you can train?
Kind of.
Let's go, Emilia.
Of course.
Amazing. You could say that's fullmetal.
Fullmetal?
The Fullmetal Ballchemist...
So you're leaving again.
I'm sorry.
My stamina is worse than I imagined.
I'm going to a proper spa to recover.
Will you take this?
Thank you.
No need to worry.
My wounds will certainly heal with the blessing of the gods.
Sir Erec,
I will be waiting for your return.
I will definitely return.
When that day comes...
Yes!
Then we're off.
Please be careful.
Then we have a set destination?
Yes.
it's a place where the gods congregate.
We're off to the Tamatsukure hot springs!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Grab his precious balls!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Love and dreams aren't so important!
Give me some balls!
You can't do much when you're all respectful, right?
Come on! Hit me!
Behold an anime of shock & awe!
We're all like guys from next door, that's what makes it great!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Be yourself and break through their lines!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Being safe is boring
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Grab his precious balls!
Let's go, ED! Go, go, go, go!
Nobody cares about your dreams and love and offspring once you're dead!
Let's go, ED!
Next Time
My name is Mariandel.
My body is male, but in my heart, I am a delicate girl.
But my chest is already done.
People always ask why I chose the trans life.
There's actually a reason that I can't tell anybody...
