Original subtitles

Come on, move it!

Don't stand there! Move!

You'll be imprisoned here until Sir Kyo comes to retrieve you.

Master Naofumi...

He must be very angry.

But I will not die until we meet again.

My strength...

There's no point.

If you try to muster any strength here, it'll just get sucked out of you.

And with that tiny body, you wouldn't be able to pry the bars apart anyway.

L'Arc? Therese? Glass?

How do you know our names?

That face and that hair...

You couldn't be...

Are you... Raphtalia?

Huh?

(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

"The Katana Hero"

"The Katana Hero" Raphtalia?

Raphtalia girly?!

How did you come to this world?

And why are you so small-

Huh? What's wrong?

You're Master Naofumi's... our enemies.

Oh, right. Yeah, that's right.

But...

I think our truce is still in effect.

Until we get revenge for Ost and stop Kyo's plot...

To do that, we need to get out of here as soon as possible.

So will you cooperate with us again?

You're real determined!

You may be small, but you sure are that Raphtalia girly!

Of course! That's what we intended to do.

We want to reclaim the Spirit Tortoise's power and return it to your world.

But...

But?

We came rushing back to our world, but it looks like it was part of Kyo's trap.

And that's why we're here.

I see.

So we were sent to the Infinite Labyrinth, and you were sent here?

The Infinite Labyrinth?!

You were sent into that thing?!

It's a time prison that no one can escape once they've entered!

Quiet! Keep it down!

It seems we need to grasp the situation first.

How could this be?!

Kizuna... Kizuna was imprisoned in the Infinite Labyrinth?!

I hadn't even considered! I should have searched it as well!

Well, she got out, so it's fine.

And Kizuna and the others left you as they went to Sickle?

It must have been difficult for Naofumi.

Yes. He may never forgive me.

He'd never-

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving Kizuna.

Now, we must... deliver you to Naofumi.

Glass?

Right. I mentioned it earlier, but this is the Reduction Prison.

It's enchanted so that anyone imprisoned in it's mana is reduced.

Meanwhile, the guards' powers are increased with a special talisman.

It's one hell of a prison.

Spirits' life forces are reduced in it as well.

So that's why you were imprisoned along with your weapons?

Huh? Well, that's one reason, but you can't take a Vassal Weapon from its possessor.

Just like the Cardinal Weapons?

Glass was excited about Kizuna.

That's why all her strength got sucked out.

If we don't escape soon...

It only reduces your powers, right? You can still use them?

Huh? Yes.

We may have a way out.

Escape!

That illusion spell of yours was amazing!

Oh, no, that was the most I could do at my current level.

They're gone?

What?!

Where were you hiding?

Answer me!

Huh? What?

It was nothing compared to your technique, Glass.

Glass girly here's not normal. Don't mind her.

What did you call me?

What do we do now?

That's obvious! We go back to Sickle for now.

We need to meet up with Kizuna.

No objections.

Master Naofumi...

I will return.

I will return to your side.

If Kizuna used Return Dragon Vein to return to Sickle,

then it would be fastest if we did the same.

We will need to go to Label's Dragon Hourglass to do so.

But we don't know what other traps Kyo has in store.

Let's raise your level as much as possible as we move.

We'll be with you this time.

We will all reach Sickle together.

I'm starving too.

But they took everything I had in prison. I don't have a coin.

And they will think us suspicious in these cloaks.

I suppose I have no choice.

Why did you have that in such a place?!

Here you go, Raphtalia girly.

Thank you for-

Sorry. You would've preferred something to eat.

I am not that hungry!

You were that hungry.

They do say that demi-humans of your world change appearance as their levels increase...

It takes a lot of food. I'll need to sell these too.

You had more in there?!

Raphtalia girly, are you getting kind of bigger?

Now that you mention it, my joints are sore.

Growing pains?

I can sew your garments accordingly, but we must buy you a new weapon.

I suppose so. It's for Raphtalia, after all!

I'm so sorry.

Man, can't they keep it down?

They're searching for us, aren't they?

You're very good at that.

This is somewhat embarrassing after having crossed swords with you.

Kizuna's coat.

Huh?

She said that you gave it to her. Did you sew it?

Yes.

She treasured it very much.

I see.

I hope you can meet again soon.

Y-You as well. Um...

I hope you can meet that kiddo soon too.

Thank you.

The Dragon Hourglass is in there.

It seems that trouble is afoot.

There's gonna be a new possessor of the Katana of the Vassal Weapons!

There's a candidate for it!

Oh, finally?

The Katana of the Vassal Weapons?

You can't be serious.

It seems we'll have more trouble, L'Arc.

A possessor of a Vassal Weapon like L'Arc and myself will be born in this kingdom.

Possession of a Hero can change the balance of military power between kingdoms.

But why would that be trouble for L'Arc?

In any case, let's check it out.

We need to see their face since we're possessors of Vassal Weapons.

And now, the possessor of the Katana of the Vassal Weapons will be selected!

Countless adventurers have attempted to draw the Katana,

but none among them was able!

However, the Vassal Weapon will surely respond to its true possessor!

It's almost like a festival.

It is a festival.

Label has guarded the Katana of the Vassal Weapons from ancient times.

It is not only an important military resource, but also worshipped with devotion.

Its possessor becomes a Hero.

They gain fame and fortune and power.

However, it is not a simple feat. The Vassal Weapon selects its possessor.

And there's a candidate?

Candidate! Come forward!

If you truly seek it, then draw the Katana!

That man...

Sir Kazuki!

So he will become its possessor?

Huh?!

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

"The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2"

No, she isn't here.

She may have run into one of the buildings.

We search them one by one!

Why me?

This is...

My slave seal!

Capture her at once!

She stole my Katana!

No, it's not yours.

Don't you move!

I can't let go of it!

Told you. When you possess a Vassal Weapon, you can't let go of it.

Can you try to panic at all?

We should withdraw for the moment.

Come on.

Huh?

Raphtalia?!

Girly?!

That idiot!

Why did it disappear?

My body...

Why did I suddenly...

Found her!

Master Naofumi...

Filo...

One more time...

Just one more time...

I want to see you, Master Naofumi!

You may be angry with me...

You may never pat me on the head again...

This way!

Circle to the back! Hurry!

But still...

I want to see you and apologize!

And if you'll let me...

once more...

to be your sword!

No.

That's not right.

I don't care if you're angry.

I don't care if you won't let me.

I will never leave your side again.

And I don't want to be your sword.

I want to stand...

beside you!

Who's there?

The Katana... The Vassal Hero?

Huh?

This way.

Wait! Um...

I am descended from a family which has served the Katana Hero for generations.

I'm not a Hero.

No, you are a Hero.

You were selected by the Vassal Weapon. That is irrefutable proof.

You look stunning, Hero.

In there! Surround the shrine!

It doesn't hurt anymore.

And power is welling up from within me.

Thank you for these clothes.

Huh?

You honor me beyond my worth!

Well then.

Those garments...

The Katana Hero!

Move aside.

You're already acting like a Hero?

Wait, you look taller...

I do not want to spill unnecessary blood.

Will you kindly withdraw?

You dare with this nonsense, you thief?

That belongs to me! I was meant to possess it!

Return it at once!

I'll kill you quickly and without suffering.

I apologize for my ineptitude. If you do not withdraw, I cannot guarantee your life.

Are you trying to say you might accidentally kill me, you shitty bitch?!

Powder Snow.

My mana!

So you're just a demi-human after all! You acted so big, but this is all you could do?

These are replicas of Byakko of the four holy beasts.

Four holy beasts? Guardian beasts like the Spirit Tortoise, I presume.

Who cares what they are?

I poured years of research into making these servant beasts.

So you're the same as that Kyo.

Don't you say that bastard's name!

You're gonna be Byakko's dinner now!

I'm sorry.

Byakko...

My...

No way...

They were nothing compared to the true guardian beast that we fought.

You still have a chance. Please withdraw at once.

Like I would, idiot!

Instant Blade! Mist!

Huh?

Please don't move.

If you move, you will end up like those poor tigers.

Sir Kazuki!

You! Kill her!

And take back my Vassal Weapon!

No, Sir Kazuki! You mustn't move!

Do you want Kyo's favor that badly?

No! I need a Vassal Weapon to be able to beat that bastard!

If you see Kyo, please give him this message.

The Shield Hero will surely gain revenge for Ost.

The Shield?

You can't be the demi-human that was with him!

H-Hey! Wait!

Please! I really should have that thing!

It ending up in your hands must have been some mistake!

Hey! Are you listening?!

Get back here! Hey!

Hey!

Perhaps I used too much of my strength?

My body...

It seems that this is the end.

Master Naofumi, did I do my best?

Erst Shield!

Spiral Strike!

It's so hard to do anything like this!

Hunting Skill! Blood Flower Strike!

There! Dinner's served!

Kizuna!

Raphtalia!

Big Sis!

Rishia! Filo!

Master Naofumi...

Master Naofumi, I...

Master Naofumi, everyone, thank you for saving me.

Raphtalia, the seal on your chest...

Yes. It seems that it disappeared.

Raphtalia...

You're... You're free now.

So...

Master Naofumi, I'm finally back.

Yeah. Welcome back.

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

"Kizuna"
