A CLASH OF SOULS

He deflected it back!

Apollo!

He deflected it back.

Was he able to see Apollo's arrow?

No, he didn't see it.

That was pure instinct.

That human has experienced many bloodbaths on the battlefield.

The warrior instinct he acquired from that experience

made it possible to land an arrow against a god.

Instinct?

Instinct? You mean, like, intuition?

Intuition, huh? You could say that.

Apollo!

Please, don't die!

Apollo isn't moving!

Could it be that the Sun God, praised for his brilliant beauty,

will sink into a sea of blood from his own arrow of light?

Dying from your own arrow?

You asshole god, is that all you've got?

Jeez…

Spouting nonsense about "praising," and "not causing suffering…"

Did you think I'd gratefully accept words like that from a god?

Who do you think you're facing?

It's me!

You really are a twisted guy.

That's what makes you, you!

I hate it!

You've become a bit more beautiful though.

And you've become a bit more manly.

That human

has taken too many arrows.

He must be at his limit.

King Leonidas.

And Apollo too.

Apollo.

Let me ask one thing.

Why do you fight to this extent?

Is it revenge against me?

Or is it for humanity's sake?

It's neither anymore.

Now is the time for me to fight.

Humans can't choose how they're born.

So they choose how to live and how to die.

They only follow

their own heart.

The most selfish men in the world.

That's what I aimed for.

Sparta.

That's nice.

King Leonidas!

We're with you!

Bunch of idiots.

Geirölul!

Leo!

Let's go!

Leonidas's shield is changing again!

Aletheia Sparta!

That's an insanely simple shield.

What on earth is he planning?

He probably intends to return to the "essence of Sparta."

The symbol of Sparta, the phalanx,

is a tightly packed infantry formation.

Its essence is not defense,

but an unstoppable advance.

It advances like a spear

and crushes enemy lines.

What tremendous pressure.

I thank you.

By fighting you and burning my soul,

I become even more beautiful!

What is that?

Apollo's myth has a continuation.

The time when Phoibos Apollo shone beautifully like the sun.

He nocked himself upon the bow of Artemis.

Becoming a silver arrow, he smashed through the walls of Argos.

That guy.

Does he intend to break that shield head-on?

The strongest arrow in Valhalla

is about to clash with the strongest shield of humanity!

Phalanx Lambda!

Argyrotoxus!

Do it, Leo!

Strike that smug face.

-Again! -Again!

Here you go!

Goddamn.

Your face is as infuriating as ever.

Everyone admired that man.

Everyone chased after that man.

Were you watching closely?

Yes, King Leonidas.

Ever since we met,

you were always, always

the coolest Spartan ever!

Coolest Spartan ever!

Is that right?

I'm relieved.

Sparta is the strongest!

He rebelled against fate

and lived more selfishly than anyone else in the world.

Everyone…

You were both… so beautiful.

…admired him.

The final battle between god and man, Ragnarok, round nine!

The winner is Apollo!

WINNING ATTACK: ARGYROTOXUS

With five wins to four, the gods take the lead again!

The Sun God Apollo, shining with the glory of the gods,

secures a massive, massive victory!

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, APOLLO! THE STRONGEST MALE GOD!

He still has the strength to respond like that…

What a guy.

No, I suspect he can barely stand.

He's showing off with his usual stubborn bravado.

He shines bright, no matter where or when.

That's the Sun God Apollo.

Apollo! Tend to your wounds quickly!

You'll get scars on that beautiful face!

Thanks for the concern, but no problem, beauties.

These wounds are fine as they are.

They're proof I fought against you two with my burning soul.

Apollo's insanely strong, but…

When I think about what could happen,

I just can't bear to watch.

Is it over?

Huh?

Apollo!

Why are you in a place like this, Python?

Didn't you watch my beautiful fight?

I knew you'd win.

Why watch a match that's already decided?

Boring, right?

You're covered in wounds.

Beautiful, aren't they?

These are proof that I fought with a burning soul

against the greatest man there is… Leonidas.

Apollo.

I'll take you to the nurse's room.

Apollo, you're the most battered,

most beautiful, most uncool,

and most awesome guy ever.

King Leonidas.

Everyone, straighten your backs.

I can still see it clearly.

King Leonidas' heroic figure!

If we admired that man,

and if we want to be like him and share his fate,

then we should stand tall with pride!

Isn't that right, King Leonidas?

Sparta is the strongest!

Sister Geirölul.

Sis?

SINCERITY

Geirölul.

It was a fight to be proud of.

He never once faltered, fighting head-on against the sun itself.

Yes.

A splendid death.

The Spartan King Leonidas is a true warrior.

I'm jealous.

"Jealous"?

I, too, wanted to go out fighting with everything I had

in my final moments.

I feel the same way.

I can't find…

Sis?

I can't find it! I can't decide!

What's wrong? Calm down!

This time, we're really at the edge of the cliff.

We absolutely can't lose the next one!

And yet

I just can't find the right answer!

By "right answer," you mean the next representative, right?

The remaining fighters are

Rasputin, Nostradame,

Simo Häyhä, Kintoki Sakata,

and…

OKITA

I will go.

SINCERITY

I won't lose to anyone.

Who are you?

Understood. We'll entrust this to you.

To you, the greatest swordsman in human history.

Thank you.

Captain of the First Unit of the Shinsengumi, Soji Okita.

Here I come.

Everything going according to plan so far, Din-Din?

What do you want,

Buddha?

You traitor!

How dare you show your face!

What's that ridiculous outfit?

"Din-Din," huh? Want me to poke your eyes out?

As expected, this doesn't even make you flinch.

I don't have time to waste playing around with you.

Hey, Din-Din,

who exactly is this "Siegfried"?

Right now, Kin is looking into things for me.

Seems like he's been locked up in Tartarus for quite a while.

And on your orders, no less.

Siegfried committed a grave sin.

Obviously, a sinful god would be locked up!

Yes, that's it.

That's what's bugging me.

Siegfried stole your magical sword Gram

and killed your beloved fire dragon Fafnir, right?

There seem to be a few charges against him,

but none are close to Tartarus-level crimes,

like rebelling against Valhalla or assassinating a chief god.

I don't think they're serious enough to warrant imprisonment in Tartarus.

I mean,

normally, if someone angers you, you just obliterate them, right?

That's what smells fishy here.

What are you getting at?

Isn't Siegfried supposedly Lil' Bu's lover?

He's not my ex-boyfriend.

That helped me figure it out.

Lil' Bu started Ragnarok to save humanity

and to save her beloved Siegfried.

Furthermore…

Ah, this is chocolate, by the way.

Furthermore, and this is just a guess,

but you couldn't let that happen, Din-Din.

Let what happen, you ask?

Siegfried being pulled out of Tartarus.

How are Ragnarok and his rescue connected?

Why are you keeping him locked up?

I don't have the answers to those questions.

Maybe Siegfried's some kind of crazy VIP.

Explain it in one line, if you would.

Have you spat out everything you wanted to say?

Divine Treasure, Gungnir.

Speculate all you want, but…

Yikes! See? This is what happens when you get mad.

Anyone who steps into my domain, no matter who they are,

will be crushed.

Whoa, which part of my theory got under your skin, I wonder?

That was an interesting theory.

I'd also love to know more.

-Be… -Beelzebub!

Odin.

What's this "long-cherished ambition" you mentioned?

What? What's this about?

Damn you, Beelzebub.

Based on what I know of you,

it's Arche, the beginning of the cosmos.

Or the revival of the primordial gods, perhaps?

P…

-Primordial gods? -Primordial gods?

Subtitle translation by: Daisy Savage

Could this be…

Yes.

Kyoto, in the Bakumatsu era.

The final battle between god and man, Ragnarok, round ten!

Stepping up to fight

is the greatest swordsman in human history!

SOJI OKITA

The mightiest god-slayer of Valhalla!

SUSANOO NO MIKOTO

So!

Who's the strongest?

SOJI OKITA VS SUSANOO NO MIKOTO

IKEDAYA

FIGHT!!
