Original subtitles

Kizuna! Get us back to where we came from!

Calm down, Naofumi! That's exactly what that Kyo guy wants!

I don't care!

I'd rather fall into his traps than leave Raphtalia alone in a place like that!

It's no use. They closed it off from their side.

That bastard!

Naofumi?

Naofumi, I know someone who's good at finding people.

We'll find her right away if we ask him.

So just calm down.

Lady Kizuna?

Oh! Lady Kizuna!

Don't worry, they're from Sickle. They're on our side.

Lady Kizuna, you have returned!

Good to be back.

Sorry for the sudden request, but can you call Ethnobalt?

Come on, get moving!

No! Let go!

Let go of me!

We'll never get customers with this rain.

Shut up! I finally picked up a transformer like you!

You're gonna make me rich tomorrow!

(Break to the chain)

(Time to fight again)

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

Two worlds coming together

Falling shading

Before getting bewildered

Pass the limits

Kick it up a notch, never giving up

Don't seek, I find

Infinite futures, in pieces, like a vein

Give me some trill

I never ever end

Rising up

To bring in tomorrow, I'm the chosen one

So not to be drowned by the constant waves

I fight, finding a way

Bring back! Bring it back

Learning from sacrifice and suffering

(Gotta bring back!)

Change heart from the very depths

(I gotta change, right now)

Stand up! As many times

Rise up, go break it now

(Go break it harder!)

I'm not alone, I already know

That's why I'll fight back

Ay yo stand up, over and over

Lemme get hurt, I'm a fighter

Still gotta conquer

Never be apart

No one can break the bonds between us

No matter what

Like I can't tell a lie

My mind, go with the flow

Got a dilemma right here

Now make a change

Never gonna stop, I'll break hesitation and weakness

I'm always fighting to break to the chain

"Humming Fairy"

To think that our kingdom's Cardinal Hero, Lady Kizuna,

had been imprisoned in the Infinite Labyrinth!

This is an unparalleled act of aggression!

We must lodge a complaint with Mikakage at once!

Yeah, please do that.

But how did you escape from the dimensional prison?

Oh, well, that's thanks to these two.

Oh, I see!

You saved our dear Lady Kizuna! You have our deepest gratitude.

Oh, no, we don't deserve any gratitude!

She's Rishia.

And this is Naofumi Iwatani, he's a Cardinal Hero like me.

Except from an otherworld.

What's wrong, you guys?

Lady Kizuna, distance yourself from him at once!

Call the guard!

He has come to destroy our world.

Destroy this world? Naofumi?

That makes no sense! Naofumi saved my life!

How dare you be so rude?

Naofumi!

Naofumi?!

Oh? Where are you going?

Ethnobalt!

It's been too long, Kizuna.

I had located you regularly, but it seems I was late to notice.

And who are you?

Are you the one who wished to search for someone, Cardinal Hero from an otherworld?

I possess the Ship of the Vassal Weapons.

My name is Ethnobalt.

Kizuna, please take this.

He has missed you.

Oh! Thank you!

So you kept him with you, Ethnobalt?

Yes. Glass looked after him at first, but she grew quite busy.

Chris!

Yeah! I'm glad to see you too!

K–Kizuna, what is he?

Oh, sorry, this is my shikigami. His name is Chris.

"Shikigami"?

Right. I made him together with Glass.

Four days ago, Chris began acting up.

So that is when you had escaped from the Infinite Labyrinth?

Yeah. I'm sure he'll tell us where Glass is too.

I see! He's perfect for finding people!

Oh, but how do we search for Raphtalia and Filo?

Right. That's why Naofumi has to make a shikigami too.

How?

Huh? Uh...

You need the user's blood and a medium for the shikigami...

Raphtalia's... well, if you have even one of her hairs?

Raphtalia's hair?

I've fed some to the Shield before.

Raphtalia's hair. Found it.

That's Raphtalia's...

Now we need some of your blood, Naofumi.

Then let us begin the ritual to create a shikigami.

What we seek now is one to protect another.

May this fragment of their essence create a vassal.

What will be born is a messenger of protection.

Th–This is...

Wh–What is it?

Nothing, but it is materializing faster than I expected.

Who is the source of this medium?

"Unlocked – A new shield has been unlocked"

"Shikigami Shield"

"Shikigami Shield"?

This is a shikigami?

That's right! You did it, Naofumi!

I was worried for a moment, but I'm glad that it turned out well.

Raphtalia...

You should be happier!

The fact that she was born means that the source of the medium is still alive!

That means...

Raphtalia's still alive!

Oh, good...

Sh–She's very cute.

But we don't know how long she'll stay alive.

We still need to hurry.

Yeah, I know.

But it wasn't just Raphtalia. We need Filo too.

I'm finding both of them.

Right.

Ethnobalt, was it?

Thank you for creating this shikigami.

Not at all. I hope you can find your friends soon.

You... Are you really human?

Oh, you can tell? You're good, Naofumi.

No, I just felt something was off.

A rabbit?

Huh?!

Ethnobalt is descended from monsters that have defended this world for generations.

Descended from monsters that defend this world?

So something like her?

I never expected you to show your true form to someone you met for the first time.

For some reason, I thought that nothing bad would come of Naofumi seeing me.

Oh?

Maybe animals like you or something?

So what now? You said he was good at finding people.

You didn't only mean that he could make shikigami.

Naofumi...

But this is how Naofumi usually is.

Naturally, that isn't the only reason.

Ethnobalt is the Vassal Hero of the Ship.

He can take you to where the person you're searching for is on his Ship.

You still can't use Return Dragon Vein?

No, I can go anywhere that isn't closed...

But he's way more amazing!

Huh? Even though he's just a Ship?

Perhaps we should go outside first.

I–It's floating in the air...

That thing under you was your Ship?

Where is Raphtalia?

Naofumi, why don't you give her a name?

A name? Yeah, later.

Now, tell us where Raphtalia is.

Better decide on one soon.

Okay, Chris, do you know where Glass is?

Huh? Does this mean...

They're both in the same place?

That is not good.

What do you mean?

That's Label. They're allied with Mikakage, the kingdom that imprisoned me.

That genius sorcerer Kazuki was supposed to be from that kingdom.

So it's an enemy kingdom?

You've got way too many of those.

I know, right?

This world's been in real bad shape for a long time.

War could break out at any minute.

If they're in an enemy kingdom, then...

It's likely that they've been captured.

We have to go, even if it's a trap.

I just hope Filo's in that kingdom too.

Then we will teleport the Ship now.

Huh? You can use a portal skill?

I can move at high speed along the connections between Dragon Hourglasses.

And he doesn't have to go there first, or reappear at the Hourglass.

It would be terrible if the Hourglass was deep in enemy territory.

It's an advanced version of Return Dragon Vein.

That is the only thing I can do.

No, that's already incredible.

Yeah! I'm really grateful to Ethnobalt!

Waiting for your return was worth it. Now, I can be of use to you.

Amazing.

What a sight.

Come on! Move those wings! Wings!

Now sing! Sing a song!

Master...

It'd be too obvious if we suddenly appeared above the enemy city.

We'll land outside it and sneak in.

I'll be waiting for you. Please do be safe!

It looks like Mikakage, but it's strangely more modern.

The sun's going to set.

What should we do? We can stay at an inn.

We know where they are. We're walking through the night.

Well, I know what you mean.

I'll fight my drowsiness!

Oh, I forgot!

That thing about Naofumi destroying this world!

Oh, what the people in the palace said?

Shoot. I wanted to ask Ethnobalt about it.

He said that Glass was really busy too.

Why in the world would they go to your world?

What's wrong?

I can hear her.

Huh?

Wait, Naofumi?!

That's the opposite way!

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

It's not Raphtalia, but this voice...

She couldn't be...

She couldn't be!

What the heck is going on?

Descended from the heavens, a young heavenly maiden!

This ends the show for today, but do come again tomorrow!

Descended from the heavens...

...a young heavenly maiden?!

Huh? Is that what they said?

Isn't this...

No! Save me!

Big Sis Rishia!

Someone!

Big Sis Raphtalia!

Master!

Enough singing! Take her away!

Is that a song?

I don't know what she's saying, but it sounded like crying.

I feel sorry for her.

Filo...

Filo!

You can't, Naofumi.

She's right. You can't start a scene right now.

Let go of me. I'm killing that bastard!

I want to kill him too, but you need to calm down right now.

We can sneak in the night and handle him.

You need to keep it down!

Well, it looks like no one understood what Rishia said.

Yeah. Our first priority is to rescue Filo unharmed.

What if this is another of that Kyo's traps?

Like I care.

I'm tired of this.

I can torture that guy until he tells us if they're connected.

At least call it interrogation...

Is there a difference?

No, but...

Let's go.

Man, those two are scary.

I feel like I'm illegally trespassing all the time these days.

Like that guy cares about the law.

Filo, where are you?

Birds?

A humming fairy chick.

It's a type of monster that they say has a beautiful song.

It looks a bit different from a filolial.

Let's check the other–

No, it's Filo.

But it isn't a filolial–

You're Filo, right?

You're Filo, right?!

It's really Filo?!

What's wrong? You can't turn into a human?

There's some kind of talisman on her cage.

It's a control talisman. Normally, you stick them directly on the monster.

They stuck them on the cage to keep the monster seal from activating?

How cruel...

Kizuna, can you cut only the birdcage?

I can, but who knows what happens if I cut the control talismans?

If I use the monster seal...

Filo, hold on just a second.

Kizuna, do it!

You got it!

Master!

Filo... I'm so glad...

I'm so glad!

But how did you know that that humming fairy was her?

How could I mistake a dear friend for anything else?

What's going on? What's the racket?

Oh? You're trying to steal my golden goose?

Unscrupulous bastards.

Who's unscrupulous here?

I'll tie you to a tree and beat you!

Sing!

Come on, dance!

That Shield's insanely powerful.

He confessed all his crimes, and then he broke... mentally.

But to think that a noble's son would open a freak show to make money...

But then he did say that it was his father who found Filo unconscious.

Kyo may have put Filo into his father's hands.

What a total bastard!

She's such a cute little crybaby...

She's usually a very cheerful little girl who never cries.

Really?

But you called her a filolial? Why did she turn into a humming fairy in this world?

If filolials don't exist in this world, then maybe she was turned into a similar species.

The reason she can still turn into human form is because of Filolial Queen...

a unique skill that she has.

Master...

What is it?

You won't disappear again?

Yeah. I'll always be with you, Filo.

No! Master is Filo's Master!

She looks a lot better, but she won't let go of Naofumi.

She must have been so scared.

Master, who's this girl?

She kind of smells like Big Sis Raphtalia.

She's a shikigami made from Raphtalia's hair.

She was with us yesterday too.

Oh? Then you're Raph!

Raph?

Well, if she likes it...

Hi! I was with you yesterday too.

Kizuna Kazayama.

This is my shikigami, Chris.

Big Sis Kizuna and Chris!

"Sis"!

Naofumi, Filo's a good girl!

You can just call her Kizuna.

Naofumi!

What's this world coming to?

What happened yesterday may have made the rounds already.

Hide, Filo.

What does it say?

It's about Filo.

Looks like it was too dark for them to make out our faces.

I'm glad you're small right now.

What else...

This one sounds like bad news.

The Vassal Hero of the Katana was found and is on the run.

All forces in the kingdom are on the lookout for them.

The Vassal Hero of the Katana?

So what if they escaped from–

What?!

Is something wrong?

Nothing...

Raphtalia's display disappeared!

Huh?!

Why?!

I don't know!

I just had a bad feeling...

It couldn't be...

It can't be...

Kyo...

If she's still here, then...

Raphtalia has to be alive.

Then why did the slave seal...

Raphtalia...

Even if the clock hands turn back

We found something that'll last

The desire to be there for one another

The wish and the bonds that we share

Even if it all goes back to zero

Even if it's the end of the world

I'll rush through time to you

And promise you won't be alone

These eyes

Are for watching over you

This voice

Is for guiding you

These hands

Are for holding you

This time

Is for making sure you have a tomorrow

Believing in you

That's all we need to do

It's what lets us grow stronger

Than anyone else

You taught us that

Ever since that day

That unchanging light

Even if the time comes for us to part

We'll be sure to find you again

Now, out with you!

Master Naofumi...

Come!
