Look! I can fly!
That's great, Filo!
But you don't look like a filolial.
She's lost a lot of her attack power.
Where'd you get those clothes, Raphtalia-oneechan?
Someone gave them to me.
A miko outfit?
Miko?
You look great!
Who's that?
A shikigami I made from your hair to help find you.
Its name is...
Raph-chan!
Raph-chan?
There are three days until the Wave.
I was originally summoned as one of the Cardinal Heroes
to defeat the king of monsters, the Emperor Dragon.
But Naofumi was summoned for another reason.
We're both Cardinal Heroes,
but he was summoned to another world to fight the Waves.
What are the Waves like?
Can I fight like him?
What's wrong, Chris?
Kizuna!
Damn that thief!
Kazuki-sama, don't move!
I won't let it end like this!
You certainly screwed that up, huh?
You go to get a body for my experiment, and they escape.
You try to take the Katana Vassal Weapon without telling me.
And then the girl you let escape steals it.
Man, you're a total failure.
Kazuki-sama, you must not move!
I'll kill her!
You just shut up and sit back—
Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
They told you not to move, dumbass. Kazuki-sama! Kazuki-sama!
Kyo...
What do we do with the Cardinal Hero from another world and the Katana Hero?
Hmm. What should we do?
The Boat Vassal Weapon, huh?
They'll probably head back to Sikul with that, the bastards.
They need to die, but I'm busy with my experiments.
I'll go.
I will eliminate anyone who stands in your way.
The Rising of the Shield Hero
Episode 11 Kizuna
Glass... You're hurting me. Let me go... Episode 11 Kizuna
I finally... I finally found you!
I'll never let you go!
No, you're killing me...
I'm happy for you, Glass-san.
Thank you.
With your help, we were able to reunite Kizuna and Glass.
I just went to find Raphtalia and Filo.
I'm glad you found the people you care about, too.
Thanks.
Oh, right!
Naofumi told me something...
He said you three went to his world?
I kept meaning to ask!
What were you doing there?
Um, well... we were...
What? What the hell were you thinking?
You went when the Waves showed up to try and kill them?
That makes you the bad guys!
Kizuna, don't get too mad at Glass.
I'm mad at you two, too!
Sorry.
Oh, jeez.
Young master.
I see.
Sorry, Kizuna.
We'll talk about this later!
You guys enjoy yourselves!
Hey, no running!
"Young master"?
And why's he acting like he owns the place?
L'Arc is the young king of Sikul.
He's a king?
I see. That's why he's the "young master."
I'm mad at you too, Naofumi!
Why didn't you tell me?
It wasn't the right time.
And I could tell that this would happen if I did.
What is wrong with all of you?
So you thought if you killed the Cardinal Heroes in Naofumi's world,
you could save our world from the Waves?
Is that even true?
Well...
Even if it is true, it was wrong to rely on that!
I'll find another way!
There has to be a way to save his world and ours!
And if there isn't?
What if there's no way for our worlds to survive besides destroying each other?
If that happens...
I won't fight you!
I don't want to fight you!
I don't know how to avoid it yet,
but I'll find a way!
And if I don't find it, I'll look again!
Will you look with me?
While we look, I'll help you beat this Kyo guy.
I want to help you!
So...
Once we defeat him, we're heading home.
There's not nearly enough time.
When I get home, I'll look into what I can find about the Waves again.
Thank you, Naofumi.
You're telling the truth, right?
You can really bring him back?
Yeah, that's what I said.
Look.
Kazuki-sama!
I want to make the ones who did this to him suffer!
Please, Kyo!
Give us power!
First you boss me around,
then you come to me for help?
You people really are shitheads.
But, well... you've got spirit, at least.
If we're going to Kyo's place to kick his *,
we need equipment!
I'm glad it all worked out, lad!
Yeah, after you ran away and left your buddies behind, "Your Majesty."
Or should I say, "young master"?
Who told you?
Therese?
Yeah.
But I would've found out at some point anyway.
You seem popular, young master.
Stop calling me that!
It's embarrassing!
Then stop calling me "lad."
They're totally different things!
How, exactly, "young master"?
I said stop!
Romina, you here?
Kizuna? Where have you been?
We can talk later! For now, get me the best equipment you have!
Sheesh. It's been years and you haven't changed.
You're all with her, huh?
And...
Something's going on, I see.
The Katana Vassal Weapon?
That's a dangerous thing to be bringing into my shop.
Well, I'll tell you how she got it some other time.
For now, it needs a sheath, so she's not walking around with it bare.
Well, you can't take one off the shelf.
It needs to be custom made.
And this, too!
This is the equipment Naofumi and his friends were using in their world.
Can you do something about it?
What is this stuff?
Well, it'll be a fun story, if nothing else. I'll do what I can.
But it'll take a week.
It needs to be done in a night!
That's impossible!
Please! Please! Please!
It's like watching you and the blacksmith.
That's right!
What's going on?
You're...
I'm Yomogi Emarl.
I've come to kill you! For Kyo!
For Kyo?
That's right.
I've come to deliver divine punishment to the holders of the Cardinal and Vassal Weapons.
How cowardly!
You outnumber me so!
Wait, didn't you attack us?
Who is this?
Can you do this outside town?
You foul vermin!
But I can't let you beat me!
Die!
Here I go!
I'll help you with songs!
Thanks, Filo-chan!
I came here alone!
Shouldn't you try to fight me one-on-one?
You might be right!
Don't agree with her!
Huh? I knew it!
Kizuna, fall back and provide support or something!
That's mean!
This is fine, though.
If I can kill you all here, it'll save me from having to hunt you down later!
I'll finish this here!
Raphtalia, give her what she wants.
Understood.
Instant Blade: Mist!
Thunder Sword!
That sword!
I'm not done yet!
Meteor Shield!
Directional Blade of Heaven!
Wow! She's strong!
I should have known I stood no chance against your superior numbers.
There's something I don't like about the way you say that.
Don't forget that those numbers include us!
Not in town!
L'Arc!
I enjoyed when we tried to kill each other,
but it feels better to be fighting on the same side, Naofumi.
I'm fine with either, L'Arc.
Yeah, right.
Bejeweled Blizzard!
Zero-Stance Rondo: Reverse Four Seasons!
Look. That sword...
This doesn't look good.
I can't... I can't lose here!
Hey, um, Yomogi, was it?
If you don't want to die, you should throw away that sword!
What a childish way to get me to surrender!
Kyo made me this sword! I won't let go of it!
He made it? That's even worse!
I don't want any part of whatever's going to happen next.
Agreed.
Therese!
Bejeweled Thunderstorm!
Combo Skill: Thunderbolt Wheel Swing!
What is this?
That's not good!
Bait Lure!
Blood Flower Strike!
Circle Dance Attack Formation: Flower Blizzard!
Get down!
Kill me!
Wow, people really say that.
You just saw for yourself, didn't you?
I can't kill anyone.
Looks like Kyo wanted to kill you, and us, with that sword.
That's impossible!
Kyo wouldn't do that!
Yeah? Sounds to me like exactly the kind of thing he'd do.
Shut up! You don't know anything about Kyo!
He's just willing to make sacrifices for his noble goal, that's all!
And what is this "noble goal"?
You're one of the Four Heroes, right?
So you should know what Kyo wants.
Nope. What is it?
To stop the Waves.
Kizuna, what are you going to do with her?
Talk to her!
She may give us a way to stop the Waves.
We are her enemies!
You only say that 'cause you don't know what Kyo's done!
I didn't see it happen, but I know what you told me!
What he's done is terrible, but...
If he's like us...
If he wants to save the world from the Waves...
We may be able to solve this through talking, not fighting!
No way!
He doesn't care what happens to our world!
That's why he killed Ost... and so many others!
I know that!
I just want to know the truth!
About the Waves! And if there's a way to stop the Waves without having to destroy your world!
Fine.
I'm going to keep getting ready for the assault on Kyo's base.
Yeah, go do that.
Make sure you make her tell us where his base is!
Of course!
Would you guys show Naofumi around the town?
All right.
You haven't gone crazy, have you?
Of course not.
Fine, then.
Sit down and relax.
It's been years since I've been back.
It's so clean!
The others must've kept it up.
Here you go.
Huh? You can sit down.
I'm surprised.
I wondered what the fortress of Kyo's foes would look like.
But it's completely normal.
Sit down.
It's different in many ways, but reminds me of home.
I see.
The place Kyo and I grew up.
You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to.
But would you tell me about you and Kyo?
Kyo and I were childhood friends.
He was always a strange child.
He never played with anyone. He wore strange clothes.
But when I talked to him, he would tell me all kinds of things.
About his books. His country. The Waves.
The Waves, too?
Yes.
Kyo showed his genius from an early age.
He would look up anything he wanted to know on his own. He knew everything.
I took a liking to him, and learned many things myself.
As I started to learn from him, to hear what he had to say,
I started to want to help him.
I'm not smart like him, though, so all I could do was be his bodyguard.
I know more than anybody else what he's like.
I've seen him go too far, and ignored it.
For his "noble goal" of stopping the Waves?
Yes. But their faces when they say his name...
Did he do something to make them hate him so much?
Is he doing things that would put him beyond redemption,
in a place where I can't see?
If that's true, even if we stop the Waves, it won't matter!
If that's true, I want to stop him.
Then I can help you.
We're fighting not to defeat him, but to talk to him.
Thank you.
But he must be made to atone for his sins.
You're sure?
He's your... childhood friend, right?
That's why he has to atone!
I'll suffer alongside him,
even if we're put to death!
I see.
I did what you said, and finished it all in a single night.
The crystal on the chest seems bigger than before.
Barbaroi Armor +2 [Cursed]
I combined it with the crystal from the Emperor Dragon you defeated.
Now you should be able to use your armor here, too.
I used the bones and skin of the Emperor Dragon and Guardian Beast to make that armor.
It was hard to get them to work, you know.
What's an "Emperor Dragon?"
The king of monsters, which I defeated.
Its materials are used in my weapon and Glass's, too.
Wow.
Thank you.
I tailored that outfit to fit the bird girl, too.
It should increase her attack power.
You're right.
Filo Pajamas You're right.
With this, Filo can fight again. Filo Pajamas
Wow!
Great job, Romina.
You'll say "wow" when you see the bill, too.
Here you go, L'Arc-niisan.
Why?
Your nation's in danger, too.
The young master of Sikul needs to be the one to pay.
Romina! Send the bill to the castle!
It's hard being the king, huh, young master?
Don't call me that, lad!
If something goes wrong, I'll use my portal skill,
Return Codex, to jump with you.
Okay.
If we can stop Kyo, we may be able to avert war.
Yes, the next Wave is almost here. It's okay—
We have to do something.
Well, we've got a little time left. We'll be fine.
What is it?
The Wave countdown...
Different worlds, ruled by different laws...
Shatter their different barriers and manifest its power here!
It's finally complete!
The Wave of Calamity, Dimension Wave!
What is this?
Don't tell me...
Impossible!
There was still time on the timer!
This can't be happening...
Kizuna!
Naofumi!
Yomogi-san?
That's... Kyo's lab!
He wasn't trying to stop the Waves!
He was... he was trying to create one!
So this...
is what Naofumi, Glass, and the others were fighting... the Waves!
