From Hell
Is that Assassin of Black?
Why?
What?!
Where am I?
Why?
Why did you kill Mom?
What on Earth?
Is that me?
Ame no shizuku mitai mayoinagara ochiteyuku
Like drops of rain we fall blindly
Sorezore no omoi eranda michi he
Down the path of life we each chose
Hora mou sugu kuroi yoake ga kuru kara
Look, the black dawn will soon rise
Dakishimeta yume no kakera ga itai yo
Shards of the dream I followed pierce me
Shinjiru koto nise okubyou ni natta
I pretended to believe to cover my cowardice
Konna sekai de nani wo kizameru no darou
I wonder what can I find in this world
Tameshitai
I'll give it a try
Ikutsumo no boku wo koete umareta yo
I stand on the backs of countless past mes
Shinjiru koto de shika tsuyoku narenai
Believing is the only way for me to get stronger
Konna sekai de nani wo kizameru no darou
I wonder what can I find in this world
Bokutachi no ima
This moment together
Atalanta, you're always so kind.
Both to the children and to me.
My father threw me out right after I was born,
for the sole reason that I was a girl.
But the goddess Artemis saved me and gave me this life.
So that's why you're so kind now?
Yes. I strive for a world where all children are loved.
Don't leave me alone.
Keep me warm..
No! You deserve to be loved too!
I'm so cold.
Stop! Just as I was saved, you—
Yeah, that's why.
Stay with us.
This stench is horrible.
Am I no longer in Trifas?
No!
No! Stop!
Somebody help!
You! What are you doing?!
Hey!
Clean is filthy.
Filthy is clean.
Here children are but prey.
What are you talking about?
Don't you get it?
Children born and unborn are all fed to the River Thames.
Why? Don't people help each other?
They don't.
Not here.
No way!
The world is ugly. We know.
Do you still want to live?
Master!
Ruler! Where are you?
I can't detect them either.
Eh?!
So it was Assassin's Noble Phantasm?
I'll search for my Master!
You do that.
This is England.
An illusion?
No, a dream.
The nightmare of Assassin of Black.
The memories of that small child.
Defeating them is still the first step.
You've seen something ugly.
I saw the children die.
They weren't killed. They were consumed.
Yes. Just like you. Throw-away tools.
But they saved me.
I was in hell, but they gave me love.
But then killing people is just repeating the cycle.
So? You saw, didn't you? That's how the world works.
Why is no one trying to change it?
Because it cannot be changed.
If ten people build a world, two of those will be excluded.
By sacrificing two, eight gain happiness.
It's the general law of the universe.
So she was abandoned.
Then how could we—
No one can oppose a solidified system.
It would take a miracle.
This city brought us into this world.
We weren't even born.
But here we are.
Where is Mom?
You—
You killed Mom. Where is she?
What's wrong, Assassin of Black?
Aren't you scared of Jack the Ripper?
You are the victims here, to be pitied.
Saint Jeanne!
Saint!
Angel!
Save us!
Save the pitiful, oh so pitiful Jack!
Save us!
Help us!
Take our hand!
Please!
I can't do that.
You're already bound in this legend.
I can defeat you, but I cannot save you.
No...
Please...
I'm scared...
You understand, right? I will now destroy you.
Why? But why?
The mass of hatred and the despair of your victims changed you.
You are now the legend of Jack the Ripper.
Cry out to the Lord in your trouble, and he will lead you to life.
What are you doing, Archer of Red?
What are you trying to do?!
They're children! Children!
They aren't even evil! Just victims!
Pitiful souls crushed by the system of the world!
If you want to kill them, I'll take you instead!
Ruler!
Stand back.
You should understand as well.
As long as they live, they will only multiply.
Silence.
Freeing their souls is salvation.
Where's the salvation in that?!
Ruler!
Sieg, stay there.
Saint, you wield a banner instead of a sword in battle. Why?!
Wasn't it so you wouldn't kill?
So that your hands won't be bloodied?
Do you really think so, Archer of Red?
My hands aren't bloody because I don't wield a sword?
Please.
I was part of that war.
I decided to fight.
My hands were tainted red the moment I decided that.
Don't underestimate me.
I will not hesitate to destroy them.
Then you're no saint!
Precisely.
I never considered myself a saint.
This is the world of their memories.
An illusion created by spiritual residue.
Do you want to let them suffer in this vague, shadowy world forever, Archer?
Now step aside!
I... refuse!
If I abandon them, who will love them?
That god of yours?
Free their souls, Ruler? You can't sugarcoat murder!
I—
Do you really want to kill us?
Wait! No! Ruler!
Is there no other way?
There isn't.
Nevertheless...
Nevertheless, we must move on.
I see. You're right.
Stop... Stop... Please!
Please stop!
There is no other choice.
Yes. There is none.
May your souls rest in peace.
He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
In darkness, in utter darkness, you suffer in iron chains.
May you find salvation!
We don't want to die.
Say, are you sad?
No. You are heading to where you belong.
That is nothing to be sad about.
Songs of joy for the true and silence for the sinners.
May the souls departing rest in peace.
You're pitiful too.
I...
Ruler.
You killed them.
Yes.
I see. You abandoned them too!
No matter what I say, you won't listen.
We could've saved them!
No. They were nothing but evil sprits at this point.
Silence!
They may have sought warmth, but it would have been wasted on them.
Silence!
They could've been saved!
If not by my power, then by the Grail's!
The Grail?
Ferocious Arrows of God!
I'll never forgive you!
You murdered innocent children!
Master!
You're safe now that I'm here!
This might be a trainwreck, but we're in it together!
Oh?
I'm really good at annoying people.
You imposter of a saint! I'll never forgive you!
You intend to run, Archer of Red?
If you want the Grail, come get it!
I'll shoot every one of you down!
You're not getting away!
Ruler! Take care of Master!
There! Get a hold of yourself, Sieg!
Ruler!
They were human! Not mages!
Just regular humans! How were they able to create such a hellish place?!
I've seen what you just saw.
Hopeless evil.
Cruelty dismissed with trifling excuses.
It really is in humans.
I'm no better myself.
Were I not put to the stake, I would've kept fighting for the Lord, hurting people along the way.
Still, Sieg, please don't judge people.
Don't give up by thinking their ways cannot be changed.
Being cold to people is easy. Hating them easier still.
Loving people is extremely difficult.
After all the despair and disillusion, you still didn't give up?
No. I didn't give up.
I see.
Ruler! Archer of Red got away from Rider.
He should be back soon.
A-Archer...
Are any affected townspeople in need of assistance?
It should be fine. Master has already taken care of it.
I should return to her now.
One last thing.
Why did Archer of Red say she won't forgive you?
Good and evil are complex. Depending on where you stand, your view will be different.
In her eyes, I am probably plain evil.
You? Evil?
Yes.
She said as much.
I can see why.
I'm no saint.
Ruler...
Let's go back, Sieg.
Your Servant will be upset if we're late.
I'm sure I'll remember that sight forever.
Just a few hours ago I believed the world to be beautiful.
But that hell will now stay within me forever.
What's the matter?
Oh, nothing.
I'll need to try and find an answer.
No matter how long it takes.
From Hell

A never-ending tale
Clean is filthy.
Filthy is clean.
It's time for Amakusa Shiro and Jeanne d'Arc!
Our tale is now racing towards the clash of two saints!
And caught in the middle, one boy.
What is his role in the story? The poor victim? Just a clown? Or something else?
Either way, his journey into the mist now begins, into the tainted skies!
How will it play out?
Be sure to see for yourselves!
