Listen.
Don't lose it again.
Alma Gears are not easy to make.
I swear.
I swear on my life!
With this, all that ancient hatred...
I can make right the horrible wrongs of the past!
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
Don't tell me we're staying here tonight.
Stop your whining.
It's better than nothing at all.
That might be true,
but we also haven't had a decent meal in days.
We should arrive at a town tomorrow.
Please hold on for just one more night.
Just one more night?
I've heard that line before!
Silence, peasant.
I feel like something's gonna jump out at us.
You're such a drama queen.
It's just a mirror.
Mirror? I hardly know 'er!
Just kidding.
To be fair to Kon, these lame jokes aren't really his fault.
The director of this show is the one who's making him say them, so if you want to blame someone, that's who.
I'm all sore.
You can't get a proper night's sleep in a place like that.
I think I slept on this wrong.
Looks like I need a soft bed
and a pillow for my nice firm body.
You poor thing.
I know, right?
You can't live unless you whine incessantly.
Might it be an illness?
You're mocking me!
What, you want pity?
And there you go, looking down on me even more!
Just leave me alone!
Is it fun to mess with people like that?
You're always treating me like worthless scum.
Seriously, can you cut that out?
I'm wasting time to help you guys!
Can't you cut me some slack?
Did we get them?
Sadly, it was a miss.
But...
It was a nice introduction nonetheless.
Charge!
What just happened?
Kon, it's an ambush!
Princess!
How the hell do they know where we are?
I don't know.
The only thing we need to worry about now is
what we're going to do.
We run.
It's our only choice.
It doesn't look like they'll just let us run away.
Confuse them, then find and slip through an opening.
It's our only choice.
Roger!
Marian, keep your back to the cliff.
Then you won't have to worry about sneak attacks.
Got it.
Let's go, Princess.
Stay back.
Stay back!
First we have to silence DT.
I'll close in on him and bring him down without mercy!
Can you stop making me your arch nemesis all the time?
Please?!
He's got a point.
If you only look at Kon, you won't get away with just a scratch.
That goes both ways.
Damn, I missed.
There's something different about them.
They're in sync and following their leader.
And...
And their weapons!
They're in a totally different class!
This is...
This is almost like...
An Alma Gear?
That's right!
These are the new weapons Sir Erec gave us.
They're masterpieces that allow even normal people like us to exhibit amazing battle prowess.
They are called DDOS.
I'm going to end our rivalry
with one hit from Calibre!
What the hell is a Calibre?
I told you to stay back!
So, uh, um...
Princess!
Seriously?
Leon!
Looks like he fell in.
Don't tell me...
We're going down there.
He's not one to die from something like this.
Neither Leon, or the others.
I'm alive.
Just the fact that I'm alive is a huge win.
Is the princess all right?
Yes.
Thank god Marian was holding her.
She has no serious injuries.
She'll open her eyes soon.
They're already open.
Princess!
Where is the one who saved my life?
Well...
I don't see your savior,
but I do see him.
Status?
We haven't seen Leon yet.
But...
We did find someone else.
Shall we begin?
Begin what, exactly?
Isn't it obvious?
Does that mean we're going to do it?
A little somethin' somethin'?
A little what, exactly?
A lady doesn't talk about such things.
Oh I see, it's already begun!
You're gonna start with verbal abuse!
Don't get the wrong idea.
We only want to poke and prod a little.
Poke and prod?
That's right.
Just answer our questions in all honesty and you should b—
Wh-What?
First you want to poke me
and then you want to prod me?
What exactly do you have in mind?
Oh, you pervert!
She's really stupid.
Definitely stupid.
Not just stupid, but a masochist as well.
I don't have a choice.
I have to play the fool and buy some time.
Hey.
Can't you tie me up better than this?
Stop whining.
This is the traditional Japanese bamboo wrap.
You should be thankful for this wrap!
Well, then.
What do we do with him now?
You should know that your efforts will be futile.
I have no intention of telling you anything.
Not to mention,
I have specifically trained myself to be able to endure any degree of pa—
Is that so?
If that's the case,
then I guess I don't need to hold back.
Princess, stop.
Why are you stopping me?
Look at him.
He loves it.
That's ridiculous!
I am absolutely not a masochist!
So come at me!
Let me have it!
Do your worst!
Come on! Come on!
I think this is the first time I've regretted stomping on someone this badly.
First, would you tell me your name?
You sound like you're trying to hit on me.
That's not what you want to know, right?
I just don't like prying secrets from a lady without even knowing her name.
My name is Mariandel.
You may call me Marian.
Mariandel.
That's a good name.
Is that a roundabout way of asking me out?
Sir Erec, is that really okay?
I'll tell Lady Emilia.
What are you talking about?
I'm just trying to...
Oh, I don't particularly mind.
In these affairs, the higher the hurdle,
the hotter the heart burns!
I could also be your second wife.
A slut.
Definitely a slut.
Indeed, a slut.
Not to mention an idiot and masochist to boot.
So this is who we were fighting?
I think I could kind of get along with her.
Who are you?
Who do you work for?
I want to know how many legions, and what those new weapons are.
You will tell us everything.
I already told you.
You won't be getting anything out of me.
What did you say?!
Is that so?
Then I guess that's that.
We won't ask you again.
So I've been meaning to ask, Gramps.
You're the strongest in your group, right?
What are you talking about?
Obviously, Sir Erec is the strongest.
Then me.
I thought so!
And who's the next strongest?
I guess if I had to pick the next strongest,
it would be Gustave, but he is quite a ways below me.
His weakness for women is problematic though.
Does that mean the rest of them are all weaklings?
They're useful enough,
but KT is a raging drunk and Variation is still a kid.
I see.
So you're saying that what rained from the sky was shot from afar by KT?
I can't answer that.
The Mangonel is classified after all.
I see, can't do anything about that.
Yes, even if my mouth were pried open, I couldn't answer that.
He's an idiot.
We have an idiot in our midst.
He's not just a masochist—he's a huge idiot.
So, then.
What's the plan?
Carrying him with us would be a huge pain.
I'm worried about Mar too.
Seeing that she hasn't shown up after all this time,
it's very possible she was taken hostage.
Let's kill him and rescue Marian.
I guess that would be natural.
All right then.
Hold on.
What?
Remember what he said?
They will chase us until we died.
That's the kind of people they are.
Let's put an end to this.
That's right!
You totally should've seen his mug!
It was like, hilarious!
Like, he was all talk,
but I bet he had no real experience!
Sir!
The recon troop has found Sir Leon
and are now headed this way.
Is he all right?
Yes, but when they found him, he was tied to a tree.
So they took him prisoner?
Yet they released him without harm.
What are they trying to pull?
This was left on Sir Leon's back.
Prepare to head out.
Sir Erec, what did they say?
It's from DT.
Apparently, he's finally ready to settle this.
The designated time is in five hours.
The place will be the castle ruins on the top of the cliff.
Go.
You're free.
Why?
We believe in returning favors.
However, the next time we meet, we will not hold back.
Do not forget.
That's strange.
You have the same scent as me.
Scent?
Just a thought.
Are you sure about this?
Completely sure.
It's Marian!
Hey!
Didn't I tell you?
You knights and warriors and whatever are simple people.
I learned that from cartoons and period drama.
You made it back!
We're glad you're safe.
Thanks, guys.
Hey, Mar.
I know this is sudden, but can you give us a hand?
We're preparing a welcoming party.
Attack!
We don't know what sort of cowardly tricks DT has in store for us!
Stay focused!
What's going on here?
This is...
Suspicious.
Is it telling us to go that way?
He's mocking us!
That's fine.
I'll play, DT!
What is this?
A trap?
But it's too obvious.
Th-That's...
Hey, Leon!
I understand.
It is a very good thing.
Look at this, Sir Erec.
With this machine, you can condition your muscles like so.
It was a trap.
A trap.
A trap, no matter how you look at it.
That's...
...a trap.
It's definitely a trap.
We'll see about that.
Hold on, Gustave.
Watch this!
I'll show you what I think of their silly little traps.
Just don't get caught in it.
Shut up and watch.
See, that's all i—
This is...
Not again...
It's that again.
I feel like it's my turn now.
What are you doing?!
Reporting in!
Our men are getting taken out by traps all over the castle.
Tell them all to stop touching everything!
Damn, he's really screwing with us!
Why is he setting all these stupid traps?
I don't know his motivations, but I have a feeling
we might already be right where he wants us.
Don't get taken in by him.
Stay focused!
Yes, sir!
Heroes, you've done well to come this far.
Job well done!
That's DT's voice!
Where are you?!
I am the king of kings.
His voice is reverberating.
We have no way of knowing where he is.
I have been waiting for someone young like you to appear.
You're younger than we are.
Which is why I ask you, Amuro, to join forces with me.
If you join me, you shall have half the world.
The homeless guy is telling me he'll give me the world.
Don't listen to his lies!
You guys are a horrible crowd.
Then what?
Are you going to blast me with the memories of Elias and the other comrades?
Who's Elias?
Oh jeez, you really don't get it.
Listen, it's a given that there's a speech right before the fight with the final boss.
Since you don't even know the basics, you need to be punished!
Is this oil?!
Are you planning to burn us alive?!
No, I bet it's some sort of acid!
It doesn't actually burn.
It's not oil or acid.
This is lotion!
I bet it feels gross to be so slimy!
This stuff is pretty hard to wash out too!
You forget that there are those of us that love lotion!
Enough of this farce!
DT!
You said you wanted to settle this!
Show yourself and fight us properly!
I'm sorry, Erec.
It's not my thing to enter fights I can't win.
What now?!
Enough games!
Show yourself, DT!
All right.
So you finally show yourself, DT!
Oh, if you dare get any closer,
I don't know what might happen to you.
What?
What are you implying?
Don't pay attention to what he says!
Oh, you don't have to, but are you really sure?
Look where you're standing.
If you move any further,
the countless booby traps I picked up from Rambo and Kubrick
will make mincemeat out of you all.
He's bluffing.
If you think so, just try it.
If you move a single step, boom!
It could happen, ya know?
Sir Erec?
You've used your dirty tricks successfully to cheat me many times.
However, that ends now!
It was foolish to presume that I couldn't defeat you if I couldn't approach you.
That cowardly tactic was your downfall, DT!
Huh, what do you mean?
Behold the power of the Calibre, and die!
Stop!
You did it.
Is it over?
DT is finally gone.
A masterful strike, Sir Erec.
It's over.
The long days of humiliation are finally over.
Move out!
Mission complete!
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
DT and Ecarlate are dead.
But since I had my doubts,
I decided to observe the two who survived.
Did those two really die?
And then, something surprising happened.
Are Kon and the Princess dead? Ixion Saga DT grows intense!
With the main character dead, will it be discontinued?!
