I've been waiting for you.
Sigui!
Annelotte, the sinful heretic.
Nee-sama!
Aneja!
Lunaluna!
Tarnyang!
Sainyang!
I shall judge you in the name of the Lord.
Queen's Blade
Episode 12 「Bonds of the Rebellion」
W-What?!
She went to Gainos Castle to save some friends?
Nee-sama!
Aneja!
We're finally out of danger.
Our new way of using force fields succeeded, Vante.
That's not good! I'm sure that's Onii-chan!
We need to get over there now!
Nee-sama, pull yourself together!
Aneja, don't lose!
Nee-sama, will win.
Of course she will!
Nee-san...
I don't understand.
Why is this heretic,
who goes against the Lord and disturbs the peace,
so loved and so strong?
This is sad.
Ymir-sama?!
Annelotte. Your friends lives rest in my hands.
Sigui-dono, go right ahead.
Finish her off.
But...
Nee-nee!
You coward!
A dramatic turn of events?
How moe...
I can't hear any fighting anymore.
Hurry up, you guys!
Young'uns really do recover faster.
And I was just carrying her on my back...
Please stop, Ymir-sama!
What you're doing goes against God's will.
I wish to fight fairly with Annelotte—
That's an awfully odd thing for an Inquisitor to say.
Nee-nee, we're fine!
I'd die for you, Aneja!
I don't want to die!
Annelotte, throw down your weapon.
My butt!
There we go!
Onee-sama!
Mirim!
We're finally here.
Ymir-sama?
Want to dance some more?
Lunaluna-san!
So the fake ran herself all the way over here, eh?
They're your friends?
Yes...
Just kidding!
What is she?
I won't let you get away!
You're not getting away!
This is the work of a monster...
We can't...
...move again.
Who are you?!
I'm Melona!
What were you doing in this castle?!
Since it went so well, I'll tell you.
I'm working for the Swamp Witch bringing
death, corruption, and depravity to the continent,
just as she asked.
The Swamp Witch?
The one who rules this continent, who brings with her a host
of monsters and zombies from the underworld!
And the Witch has regained her true body
and been completely resurrected.
The Witch has summoned several monsters, just like me,
and have planted seeds of strife throughout the continent.
As a result, the land is covered with barren soil.
Gainos is about the only place that still has life to it.
The noble's rebellion and the expansion of the swamps...
It was all as planned!
But, you see...
The beautiful warriors always get in our way.
So we got rid of them by cursing them,
issuing bounties... The works.
In particular, the amplification curse we cast on
the Queen seems to have worked exceptionally.
She's doing exactly what the Witch wants!
And every last one of you here today will be exterminated.
Now, Queen, I leave the rest to you.
The Queen wasn't being controlled?
We're finally free!
I'm tired...
My Queen. You knew she was a monster?
What a pointless story.
It is I, Claudette, who will rule over the continent.
The victory I seized through force is justice itself.
The strong shall rule over the weak,
and bring forth order and stability.
My reign shall lead this continent into prosperity.
And if there is anyone who gets in my way,
be it God Himself, I shall destroy them.
Some mere witch or rebel won't stop me.
That's wrong! People have hearts.
You cannot control them with power alone.
Your methods will only bring sorrow to the people!
Sorrow?
Sorrow is a standard emotion for a person.
If you don't wish to feel sorrow, then become stronger.
I cannot agree with what you're saying, either.
Humans are weak,
and are always seeking salvation from the Lord.
But you're stating that God is unneeded.
That statement is on the same level as burning someone alive.
If you don't agree, then force me to surrender.
Who's going first?
Listen up. We'll all fight her together,
and when she gets tired out, we'll beat the crap out of her.
That's kind of a pathetic plan...
What's wrong? Will you not fight?
I will!
I will go!
I'm going, too!
Maximum output!
Mirim, no fair!
Prepare yourself!
Onee-sama!
Nee-nee!
Mirim!
Lunaluna!
No way...
Looks like I made it just in time.
Yuit!
Isn't that an automaton? The alchemical miracle?
Huh?
How dare you, Ymir!
W-Wait.
It's not as simple as we thought.
I will not allow a world that ignores the teachings of God!
I am righteousness itself.
May God place his judgment upon you.
Go on ahead.
I'll head back after I take a look at what's going on above.
Prepare yourself!
No way...
I will fight you all at once.
What is that...
It's the same as before...
Sainyang!
Sainyang! Tarnyang!
When you run ahead like that, you end up choking me!
Ward!
What's happening here?
Hey! Laila!
Over here!
What's going on?
It's just like it looks...
I guess you could say that the Queen's Blade is starting back up.
You're alive?
This is the only bit of body that I had left, though.
This is no fun. It's too one-sided.
That's because you amplified her strength, as well.
Vante...
Onii-chan!
Why do all of them try to help each other out so much?
Neither of them are breathing...
What?
Move out of the way!
Holy Pose: Healing.
Watch out, Sigui!
Onii-chan!
Onii-chan...
Looks like it's over.
What should I do...
I can't report this to Nanael-sama.
You're finished.
Maria-dono.
You've done well, Annelotte.
All of you.
You're...
You must not kill these girls.
Huh? She fell asleep!
A curse?
But... no matter who they may be...
I won't...
...let anyone else die.
Leave.
Take her and be gone.
Hey, what kind of ending is that?
I guess the winner gets to do what she likes.
Anyway, you there...
Looks like you need to pay attention.
W-What's going on?
I did it!
Here's your report.
I now know what I must do.
What you have to do?
I'm still not strong enough of a warrior.
Each one of us needs to become stronger.
We'll each encourage each other,
and then, if that brings us closer together,
I'm sure we'll be able to change the world.
My little sisters! When the three moons overlap,
let us meet again.
At that time we shall combine our forces,
and defeat the Thundercloud Queen.
I swear it upon this sword.
Those who protect,
those who have been entrusted with something,
and those who pray...
When united under a just light,
a great power will illuminate the future.
People must continue to fight for their fate.
Unless they fight for the future they wish for,
they will never know whether or not they can attain it.
