00:00♪
00:08Yeah, we're almost ready to go here.
00:11What's your situation?
00:13I'm conducting surveillance on Uranus Castle, the Azure Brigade's main base.
00:17I can report on all their movements.
00:19Marquis Conrad just left for the Imperial capital about five minutes ago.
00:23From what I heard, he's going to petition for a chance to rejoin the Empire.
00:27Just as we expected.
00:29Any news about the you-know-what?
00:31You'll be happy to know I found it.
00:33That's great. Just make sure you're out of there before events overtake you.
00:37Okay, talk to you later.
00:40Tsukasa's right. In the near future, this is going to be a dangerous place to be.
00:46There's just one more thing I want to check on.
00:49♪
01:20♪
01:33This looks like... some kind of epidemic.
01:37It's a bacterial infection, and it can easily lead to death.
01:41K'nei says it's something she calls septicemia.
01:44Please, Doctor! Do something for my daughter!
01:47I'm sorry. We've completely run out of the Miracle Water.
01:50That can't be!
01:52Miracle Water?
01:54It's a medicine K'nei was able to create that she calls antibiotics.
01:58We've had so many patients, we can't produce enough to treat them all.
02:02Mama? Where are you?
02:04It's okay. I'm right here, sweetheart.
02:07It hurts. Please make it stop.
02:09Gadakatsuki! Can you do something to save my daughter, please? I'm begging you!
02:16This is horrible. They're so desperate, and I don't have the power to save them.
02:21What a cold-hearted god you must be.
02:24Just imagine abandoning an ailing child.
02:28It's a scenario the devil might have dreamed up.
02:31Apparently, the god of the Seven Light Faith has no intention of saving the people who suffer from this plague.
02:37And who are these people?
02:39They're members of the Medical Guild here in Gustav.
02:41Indeed. I'm the head of the Medical Guild, Count Serentius.
02:45Would you like us to save your daughter?
02:48How?
02:49If you use this secret medicine, within moments you'll be able to relieve your child of her pain.
02:54What? You know that won't cure her! It's dangerous!
02:58Wait! I'll try anything! Whatever it takes to save my child!
03:02That's impossible. I'm afraid our hands are tied.
03:08The use of our secret opium medicine has been strictly forbidden by the angel Kainé,
03:13on direct orders of the Seven Light Faith.
03:15That's so cruel!
03:16Don't blame us. We're victims as well.
03:19Blame the Seven Light Faith, which leaves the ill to suffer.
03:23You bastards!
03:25Now listen to me, humans. No one said we would not save this child.
03:31Of course we're going to save her!
03:33And before we're through, we will have saved all the other patients as well!
03:38It will happen through the miracle of the healing power I've bestowed on my angel Kainé!
03:43What?
03:44Akatsuki speaks the truth, as I will now demonstrate.
03:51Kainé, you're here!
03:52Oh, really? How will you do that?
03:55You're out of your miracle water, aren't you?
03:57That's right. At the moment I can't supply the necessary amount of penicillin,
04:02for which you have referred to as miracle water.
04:05For that reason, I'll be making all the medicine we need with this.
04:11From that, what do you have there?
04:13Hmm?
04:16You're going to make your medicine from a piece of coal!
04:19You gonna feed them pebbles?
04:20At least they won't be deficient in their minerals.
04:24You're ambitious.
04:25However, if your medicine somehow fails to work,
04:28I guess you'll have no choice but to lift the ban on our opium, won't you?
04:32You think? Don't hold your breath.
04:45I think you've cured her! Thank you!
04:48Listen, all I've done is ease her symptoms.
04:51But a person's will to live is very strong.
04:54So don't give up, and take care of your daughter until I can get her the medicine she needs.
04:59Yes!
05:01Sorry, you guys, but that so-called doctor was ticking me off, and I couldn't take it anymore.
05:06Forget about it. That guy's a big blowhard.
05:09If you hadn't said anything, I was about to.
05:13Tell me, Kene, can you really make medicine from coal?
05:16It sounds kinda crazy to me.
05:18It's not crazy.
05:19I can make the miracle drug that once defeated septicemia.
05:23It was called the Magic Bullet back then.
05:29Did I hear right? We're gonna try to make this medicine ourselves?
05:33I mean, isn't it better to have Ringo handle something like this?
05:36Maybe. However, she's not available right now.
05:40She's working on some secret project.
05:44Sorry you had to wait for me!
05:46What brings you here?
05:48I need her. I want to borrow her magic powers to complete this process.
05:52Oh, really?
05:53Yes. I had a long talk with Tsukasa and Ringo about this.
05:57We think that magic in this world is a technology that acts upon substances at an atomic level.
06:03So controlling the chemical reactions of substances, or manufacturing medicines in this case, should be possible.
06:10If my magic can help, then I'm all for it!
06:13Well then, I think we should get started.
06:16First, we have to steam the coal, which is necessary to separate out the coke and the coal tar.
06:21Right!
06:30There's something black and syrupy in the cauldron.
06:33That's good. Now the next step is to heat up that coal tar and transfer the steam from it to the cauldron on the right.
06:40Like this?
06:42Well done. That liquid is called benzene.
06:45It's pretty.
06:46If you breathe in too much of it, you'll die, so please be careful.
06:50Aren't we making medicine?
06:52Do you really think this is gonna work?
06:54Truthfully, I have no idea.
06:57Next, we're going to use this. It's sulfuric acid. It'll burn through your skin if you touch it, so be very careful.
07:03If that's true, you should handle it!
07:08Next, we pour in this container of ammonia water.
07:11That stuff's awful. It smells just like pee.
07:15Yes. And the reason for that is because it's like incredibly condensed pee.
07:19Wait, this is weird. Are you sure I'm actually making medicine?
07:23Oh yes, you are.
07:38All right, it's finished.
07:40You mean that condensation is it?
07:42That's right. This was history's first synthesized antimicrobial.
07:47The magic bullet, sulfonamide.
07:51All right, people. I want you to administer this new medicine to every patient.
07:56On it!
08:13Mama...
08:15My baby...
08:17Temperature, pulse, and breathing have all stabilized.
08:21She should be fine now.
08:24Thank you, Angel. Your medicine saved my daughter.
08:28It helped. But the truth of the matter is, you saved her.
08:33Sulfonamide is only able to stop the growth of pathogens.
08:37It was Melinda's strength and vitality that were able to defeat the pathogens that were already in her system.
08:42And the source of that strength and vitality was due in no small part to your encouragement.
08:47I'd say the two of you won this battle together.
08:58Looks like we might have a spy.
09:08I can't believe she created medicine from a rock.
09:11If she keeps this up, we're going to be out of business.
09:13How do we fight this?
09:16From what you said, the medicine was concocted by their mage woman, right?
09:20Yes, that's what I was told.
09:22Then isolate the girl and threaten her.
09:24Get her to change that medicine into poison. Torture her. Do whatever it takes.
09:28Once patients start dying from the Seven Light Fates medicine, both their power and reputation will be destroyed.
09:34You're so predictable. I suspected you would try this maneuver.
09:39Evening, gentlemen. Hope you don't mind the intrusion.
09:43What are you doing here?
09:45I don't understand. Why are you all so jumpy? I just came here to have a little chat.
09:53What's this? I can't move!
09:57What are you planning to do?
10:00I told you. I just came by to talk.
10:04But that communication might end up being directly through your brain.
10:09Did you know it's possible to change a person's opinions, personality, and anything else to suit your needs?
10:15It turns out it's easy when you tinker with their brain cells.
10:18Look, you win, all right?
10:20I'll give up trying to oppose you, and I'll become your faithful servant. Just spare me, please!
10:25Don't be such a fraidy cat. The Anastasia will kick in soon.
10:30You're a demon.
10:37Oh yes, that's right. As you're about to discover, that label suits me far better than Angel.
10:44Oh yes, that's right. As you're about to discover, that label suits me far better than Angel.
10:50To be honest, I despise God so much, I wish I had the power to destroy him.
10:55As a doctor, I've thought about this many times, and I keep coming to the same conclusion.
11:00If God had only created mankind with proper, healthy minds and bodies, then we would never have to suffer from diseases or wars.
11:07I find our predicament unforgivable.
11:10How could our creator be so incompetent? How could that spirit invest such dominant beings with so many flaws?
11:17Since he refuses to answer, I've decided to correct his obvious ineptitude.
11:22I will grant those weak bodies destined for death an alternative path to eternal life!
11:27I will transform weak minds that hurt others into healthy ones that support those around them.
11:32It will take time to build this utopia, but in doing so, I will eventually create a world...
11:38where everyone is free of human deficiencies.
11:44Thank you, guys!
11:46I'm so glad you're doing better, Melinda! A patient smile is the greatest reward of all, don't you agree?
11:53I do indeed.
11:54Wonderful! Our medical guild is behind you. We'll support the Seven Light Faith with all our power.
12:00So, lots of work to do!
12:03I heard his values had changed a lot after he was attacked by robbers in his mansion.
12:07But he's like a different person now, and it's kind of creepy.
12:10You should try to get along with him, though. After all these years, he's apparently seen the light.
12:30It's been a long time, Count Conrad.
12:32I'm truly grateful that you've made time in your busy schedule to see me, General Nero, under the circumstances.
12:40Don't be such a nervous nelly. I'm not going to punish the Azure Brigade.
12:46While I acknowledge Gustave's loyalty to His Majesty, I must say, it doesn't excuse his treatment of his subjects.
12:52Allowing the populace to starve was unacceptable.
12:55The Azure Brigade simply removed and killed a rapacious predator.
12:59That's well within the Empire's policy of survival of the fittest. You could even say it's commendable.
13:06Thank you. We were worried that...
13:08The Seven Light Faith is the problem. They seem determined to destroy the Empire from within.
13:13I must tell you, I've heard rumors that the Azure Brigade has been working with them.
13:17We... had no choice.
13:21I already knew that. The Azure Brigade currently lacks the forces to fight against the Seven Light Faith. Am I right?
13:28Yes, Your Grace.
13:30We can remedy that by providing you with a secret weapon.
13:40This is my adjutant, Tanganyika. Why don't you show the gentleman your power?
13:53That looks like Gustave's weapon, Heaven's Flames.
13:56Very observant. In fact, it is Heaven's Flames.
14:01He can call up that lethal weapon as easily as Gustave did?
14:05Oh, yes. And I'm prepared to make him available when your brigade confronts the Seven Light Faith.
14:10I'll even send ten thousand troops as reinforcements.
14:13With that much power on your side, you should be able to overcome those upstart rebels and destroy them completely.
14:20Yes! We will eliminate those impudent fools for defying our might, in the name of the Emperor!
14:27His Imperial Majesty Lindworm, to whom we pledge our allegiance, the one man who stands above all others across these lands.
14:35The days of the Seven Light Faith, which proclaims false gods and preaches equality for all, are numbered, my friend.
14:45Looks like you finished it. Thank you so much, Ringo.
14:49You're welcome, but I have to ask. Do you really think it's a good idea to bring such a powerful weapon into this world?
14:56Before I answer, let me ask you something. What do you imagine it takes to create a nation?
15:02I'm not really sure.
15:04Nothing at all.
15:06What?
15:07Let me give you an example. Let's say some children build a secret base and then declare that base to be their own nation.
15:13At that moment, we've witnessed a nation founded by children.
15:16That's... all it takes?
15:18Not quite. Of course the nearby adults won't stand for something they consider nonsense.
15:23They'll destroy the secret base and scold the children. The nation will then collapse.
15:29The fact of the matter is, it's very easy to found a nation, but it takes massive power to maintain its sovereignty.
15:37I make you this solemn vow, Count Blumhart. I will make sure the Azure Brigade you created stays true to your vision.
15:43We will change the Empire into a nation where people can live humanely.
15:48Is that you, Reissanach? I thought you headed out to help rebuild the impoverished villages.
15:53I finished up that assignment much sooner than expected.
15:57Where is Count Conrad?
15:59He left earlier to go to his meeting.
16:01Really? I'm surprised you didn't go with him as his bodyguard.
16:04He didn't need me. I was given other orders, actually.
16:11Well now, you're pretty fast on your feet.
16:13Reissanach! What the hell are you doing?
16:15As I said, I'm following orders. To kill you.
16:20Why me? What's the point?
16:22Don't anybody interfere. I'll take her down myself.
16:32You can't dodge me forever!
16:43Shoot her!
16:56Reissanach, you're a coward!
16:58Shut up already!
17:00Have you no pride at all as a knight?
17:06Both the Lord and his retainer are so naive.
17:09Blumhart said the exact same thing just before he died.
17:13Have I no pride as a knight?
17:16How do you know what his last words were?
17:18Do I have to spell it out for you? How dense can you be?
17:22I know because I'm the one who killed Blumhart!
17:26But I do agree with one thing.
17:28Gustav went too far.
17:30If you kill off the peasants, who are you supposed to squeeze for taxes?
17:34You scumbag! You'll pay for this!
17:37You know, it'd be a waste to just kill her.
17:40Sure. Have at her.
17:48Oh, I'm looking forward to this.
17:50I can't wait to hear her screaming.
17:52Ha ha ha!
17:56Die, you bastards!
18:00What?
18:04Looks like I got here just in the nick of time.
18:08Well, hello! It's been a while, Jean.
18:10Shinobu?
18:11Looks to me like someone's decided to get rid of all the doves in the Azure Brigade.
18:16And if that's true, the Azure Brigade has decided to rejoin the Empire and fight the Seven Light Fates.
18:22You're too smart for your own good.
18:24Thank you, Shinobu. But why?
18:26Because you're my friend!
18:28You ready to take this guy out?
18:30Yes!
18:33You little shits! An extra opponent isn't gonna change the outcome!
18:43Jean!
18:47Ha!
19:01I've seen that sword before.
19:03Yes. It originally belonged to Count Blumhart.
19:07I asked if I could have it as a memento after the last battle.
19:11I know you two were close. You really looked up to him, didn't you?
19:15Whatever kind of woman I am today is a direct result of being trained by the Count.
19:22There's something I want you to see, Jean.
19:28I can't believe this whole complex exists beneath Uranus Castle.
19:31It's an underground shelter only a few people know about. That makes it the perfect place to hide secrets.
19:38What kind of secrets?
19:45It's the golden statue.
19:47Conrad's been telling people he didn't know where it went.
19:50But obviously he spirited it away and hid it here.
19:53This abomination was created by literally starving the people until they had nothing left.
19:58He was willing to sell us out!
20:03Count Blumhart warned us. He said the current Empire was immoral.
20:08He said survival of the fittest may be a law of nature.
20:12But it makes us no different than animals.
20:15He always told me we needed to rise up and support one another as humans.
20:21The Azure Brigade was founded on those ideals, but look what's happened. What have we become?
20:27The Azure Brigade may have lost its way, but those ideals are still alive.
20:32They remain as strong as ever, deep within your heart.
20:37You come along with me.
20:39Our team has a place for you in this fight. We believe in the nobility of the individual.
20:48I see clearly now.
20:50To carry on the ideals of Count Blumhart, and to defend the vision we shared...
20:57I'll join forces with you.
21:03Quick, hide!
21:05That's Marquis Conrad. But who's that with him?
21:12Wait a minute. It can't be!
