Original subtitles

I'm impressed you made it this far, Toya.

So, you must be Xiang Yu, the Returner with the most powerful talent of all time?

Why do you ask?

My aim is to gather talents like that.

Your talent will be mine!

If you insist.

Time for some fun.

Where'd he go?

Nice reactions.

He disappeared again.

Don't we need him alive?

Oh?

A direct hit.

I got ya now.

But how?

Using the Right Arm of the Thief.

As the name suggests, through stealing, of course.

Steals core

He pick-pocketed the inner core of the boulder and hid his body inside.

Hides inside

From inside, he deployed his stakes and launched his counterattack.

Counterattack

A good strategy on his part.

Not bad for quick thinking.

However...

My talent is: Omni-receptacle.

I control various objects with my malice and turn anything into my own personal weapons.

So, that's how it works.

All things in the universe kneel to me!

Well, that's enough of that.

Hey!

Instead of just spacing out, how 'bout using your talent to heal yourself already?

It hurts, doesn't it?

Huh?

What's going on?

He doesn't seem hostile.

It shouldn't take the Undead Soldier this long to heal.

Guess even though you can steal talent, it's inferior to the original thing.

Still facing challenges even after acquiring your talent.

You really do take after your brother.

What do you mean by that?

You want to surpass Seiya, right?

You know my Brother's name?

Of course I do.

He and I were the original members of the Forest of the Greats, after all.

Seiya was the only Returner who was ever a match for me.

My brother was a Returner?

Uh-huh.

But you don't know the real Seiya.

The Seiya you're familiar with

is nothing but an illusion created from

your sparse childhood memories of him mixed with his public achievements.

Don't you want to get to know the real Seiya?

What is your deal?

Huh?

I'll show you personally.

Everything you need to know about your brother.

To the very end.

How many times do I have to tell you?!

Learn some restraint!

Xiang Yu, you idiot!

Look, he's covered in bruises!

Tsk, quit nagging me.

What was that?!

I'm fine.

Get uppity with me one more time, I dare you!

After all, I'm the one who asked him to train me.

I prefer it this way.

Let me go!

You tell her.

Why are you all here in my hideout in the first place... hm?

Neumann!

Stop leaving your stuff around!

Picasso, you too!

Oh, don't be so stingy.

Mr. World's Strongest.

You little twerp!

Seiya is our apprentice.

It's only natural that we'd come here to check in on him.

I'm sad, though.

If we had gotten here earlier, I could've painted you two training.

I could've gotten some more data as well.

Hah, what's the use?

You big-brained nerds wouldn't know the first thing about martial arts.

Really? How 'bout this?

In a convex hexagon ABCDEF, let AB//DE, BC//EF, and CD//FA.

Let RA, RC, and RE be the radii of the circumcircles of triangles FAB, BCD, and DEF.

Let P be the perimeter of the hexagon.

Prove that RA + RC + RE = P2.

What's wrong?

Are you having trouble reading the equation? Hm?

I'm sure Da Vinci could've answered the equation without even batting an eye.

His talent, Universal Vessel, allows him to excel in a wide range of disciplines.

A fitting talent for Da Vinci who was renowned for being a multi-talented genius.

It's quite intimidating.

Someday, he will surpass all of us and become

the most talented individual the world has ever seen.

When that day comes,

humankind may just witness their first god.

Despite obtaining talents of world-changing proportions,

we had no ambitions or goals, and just lived our lives aimlessly.

But he was different.

Xiang Yu-san.

Hm?

Could I ask a favor?

Ya know I'm no taxi service, right?

I'm sorry.

For always making you do this.

In order to use my talent, I have to inflict bodily harm on someone.

If you don't mind, neither do I.

Well, see ya.

Would you like to take a look around first?

I'm not interested in the mundane interactions of this world.

Besides, there'd be trouble if someone spotted my petals.

No one will notice.

I have a talent for concealing flower petals.

The Returner of the great modern magician Houdin, taught me how to use it.

Righto, so that's how you've been able to integrate yourself into normal society?

Oh, you're here already?

And just when this was starting to get good.

Kitazuka-san!

Sorry for being late.

Oh, this is my friend, Xiang Yu-san.

Hmm...

Whatever, let's get started.

I'm looking forward to today's lesson.

Whatcha think yer doin, twerp?

Right back at you! How do you know my brother?

You tresspasser!

I came here with Seiya.

So, you're Seiya's younger brother then?

You look up to him?

He's who I want to be!

Don't bother. Nobody can live up to him.

You're all the same.

You think I'm useless too, don't you!

That's not what I mean. It's just...

Hey!

Well, that's probably for the best.

I can't just tell him Seiya's no longer human.

One more time!

I've got this.

We're done for today.

Where does all that drive come from?

To spend every waking moment training like that.

You must have some sort of goal, right?

If it were just a matter of pride or desire,

you wouldn't need to learn all these talents.

Are you trying to conquer the world or something?

If so, count me in.

That's what my talent Omni-receptacle is for after all.

Hey, what's so funny!

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Nothing, it's just that you caught me off guard with the whole conquering the world thing.

Then what's your deal?

I want to be a good big brother.

Huh?

I have a brother, who is quite a bit younger than me.

Uh-huh, that little brat, right?

He's diligent, hard-working, and very competitive.

He has always been trying to play catch up with me.

I'm proud of that, but at the same time, I also feel a bit guilty.

Because all of my supposed "talent" was just given to me by the petals.

I didn't earn it fair and square.

I still can't look my little brother in the eyes.

If I did, I'm afraid he'd see right through me...

and come to resent me.

I just want to do some good for the world,

so someday I can look him in the eyes with my head held high.

That's why I'm collecting talents.

I don't have any desire to become one of the Greats.

I just want to be a big brother that he can be proud of.

And for that, I'm willing to do anything.

Seiya...

Xiang Yu-san, what's wrong?

Underwhelmed by your answer, that's all.

Let me ask you this, what's the greatest "good" that you can think of?

Hmm...

Maybe, world peace?

Huh?

You don't have to laugh in my face.

Oh, that's too rich.

Whatcha say we do it?

Hey, you guys!

Looks great!

I don't really get it, but count me in!

I'm happy to help Da Vinci, however possible!

That leaves just one.

Stare...

I'll pass.

I hate expending energy towards things that don't have a concrete solution.

Whatcha mean?

World domination would be much more feasible.

You just have to kill all resistance.

World Domination Complete

But World Peace, on the other hand, is a pipe dream.

Famine, discrimination, religion, war.

The world is full of problems.

It's impossible to know where to start, not even with my devilishly smart brain.

Uh-huh, so you're scared?

Just admit it.

We won't force you to do anything.

Go on and sleep your days away.

So, we'll do it without-

Ow ow ow ow ow ow!

My foot! You're on my foot!

Neumann, you're asking to get killed!

Oh, kill me?

And here I thought our mission was world peace?

Neumann-san?

Guess we're moving on from playing around at the hideout.

Seiya, you decide our first move.

But, Xiang Yu-san...

The Branch of Reincarnation has brought together

some of the greatest talents in history.

We might as well go all out.

Let's make it official!

From now on we're the Forest of the Greats!

I realized that I was always waiting.

Episode 6

Seiya

Waiting for someone like Seiya to appear.

The Forest of the Greats?

Yeah. We're rallying around the genius Da Vinci with the goal of establishing world peace.

Well, well. How nice for them and their most noble of missions.

Oh, come on. Why're you acting so aloof?

It has nothing to do with us.

Ah, I see. You've come here to exterminate us non-Greats, then.

Using Mastermind makes it easy to figure out.

I'm right, aren't I?

The world can't very well have peace with Sinners like us around, now can it?

Hold on!

Xiang Yu is trying to help us.

d'Armont, you'd best stay away from him.

If you don't, you'll be his first victim.

Enough.

Listen to what I have to say first.

I'm here to recruit you all into the Forest of the Greats.

No, you listen.

We're not Great-class Returners, you know.

Give me a break.

If that's enough to disqualify you, then I wouldn't count as a member either, would I?

That's not where the Forest of the Greats gets its name from.

It's called the Forest of the Greats because its members strive to do great things.

All this talk about Sinner or Great-class Returners.

Who's really doing the discriminating? Hmm?

Things aren't that simple.

Not everyone thinks the same as you, Xiang Yu.

What's your plan?

You know, there are some Returners with some troublesome impulses caused by their talents.

All Sinners eventually commit crimes.

Already figured out.

If anyone gets completely consumed by their talent...

I'll deal with them personally.

We all cut our throats in search of salvation.

Yet now we get classified based on the talent we received,

only to lose our place in the world again?

I won't stand for that.

Whoa!

You nearly crushed me!

Then why don't you help me carry these?

No way!

Are you sure you should be wasting time on odd jobs?

Have you already decided the first move for the Forest of the Greats or what?

Yeesh, you're always so indecisive.

Well, it's an important decision.

Hm?

Who're they?

They're Returner friends who Neumann brought along.

The more the merrier.

I have some people I wanted to recommend as well.

Just over a hundred or so.

All the historic Greats under one roof.

How exciting!

Xiang Yu-san?

I don't mean to rain on your parade,

but most of everyone I was going to bring don't have Great-class talents.

Would you still be willing to welcome them?

Of course!

Any friend of yours is welcome.

Hey, you two!

Quite slacking, and come help out.

You guys are helpless without us.

C'mon Seiya!

Okay.

We were a group of people who caved into despair and cut our own throats.

Yet we unified and found a purpose in life by chasing after one foolish dream.

It only happened because Seiya was at the heart of it all.

It would never have worked with someone like me,

who can't do anything without harming others.

Seiya had a limitless amount of compassion,

which made me think he could be the leader we needed.

So, what's this all about?

Why call a meeting with only founding members?

I have made my decision on our first move.

Well, it's about time!

You've been keeping me on the edge of my damn seat!

What's first on the agenda...?

Huh?

Seiya?

Hey, what's with the serious face?

Wait, have you been cry-

I'm fine.

Anyway, I declare here and now

that the Forest of the Greats' first step towards world peace will be...

the eradication of all Sinner-class Returners.

If Returners are those who can bring about world peace,

then the opposite is also true.

Given the risk they pose, we'll start by eradicating all Sinners.

What the hell?

That's not at all what we agreed on.

Hold on, you said you were okay letting Da Vinci call the shots!

I don't want to hear the justification.

Just take it back, right now!

I had Neumann do some research.

To determine how much, if any, crime was begin committed by Returners.

It turns out the crime rate among them is on the rise.

Mainly because of those consumed by their talents.

The public is largely unaware of the presence of Returners,

and lack the ability to defend themselves against strong talents.

We are the only ones capable of dealing with them.

That's no excuse!

My brother...

was attacked.

Thanks to everyone, we were able to fend off the Returner.

And save Seiya's younger brother's life.

Through analysis of his wounds and eyewitness accounts,

we determined that the culprit was...

So that's why?

They must face justice!

You were the driving force behind all Seiya's actions.

He wanted to establish world peace for your sake.

But as for anybody who tried to hurt you...

I know what must be done.

All Sinner-class Returners... must be eradicated.

Get a hold of yourself!

There are plenty of Sinner-class Returners who are completely harmless!

Stop this madness-

And in the meantime, more and more people will fall victim!

We have to draw the line somewhere, before it's too late.

The existence of Sinner-class Returners is a direct threat to world peace!

Fine, then. Start with me.

I can't deny that Sinner-class Returners pose a potential threat.

But damn, I'm kicking myself now.

I guess I shouldn't have given them any hope.

So promise me you'll achieve it. World peace.

Why the hesitation?

Do I get a free pass or what?

Because we're friends?

That's bullshit!

My talent belongs to Xiang Yu, the tyrant who massacred hundreds of thousands of people!

And you're going to let me live?!

Friendship matters, huh?

Well, I have plenty of friends who are Sinner-class Returners as well!

Are you telling me to just sit and watch idly as you kill them all?!

Or do you have the gall to ask me to help you do it? Huh?!

How long do you have to persecute me before you're happy?!

Seiya!

That's not my intention.

Listen here.

We're not toys to be used in your, half-assed, self-righteous, ego-trip!

This means war.

Don't, Xiang Yu!

You bastard!

Tsk, I missed his vitals!

Seiya, what are you doing?

Are you trying to let me escape?

I don't get it.

Do you want to kill Sinner-class Returners or save them?

Make it make sense.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm sorry.

Tsk. How indecisive can you be?

I should've known.

There's no way you would want to hurt someone else in the name of progress.

The rage you felt at seeing your injured brother right before your eyes

is what pushed you over the edge.

It's not too late.

We can still find a middle ground.

Please, tell my brother...

That I'm sorry for not being a better big brother to him...

I'm not a big softie like you.

If you want him to know, then better tell him yourself.

You're right.

I need to face him myself.

And then-

He'll forgive you.

After all, he's the little brother you're so proud of, right?

Once that's done, you can dedicate yourself to making it up to him.

Right, Seiya?

Seiya...

Seiya!

I never should've put the burden of achieving world peace on him.

Seiya could've lived happily ever after if he just stayed focused on making you proud.

I'm the one who killed him.

I won't apologize for it.

Thank you for sharing.

My brother was a Returner, not a genius.

He was always struggling to succeed.

And most of all, he was always thinking of me.

Seeing that side of him firsthand has put my mind at ease.

Is that it?

That's all I can really say.

But you clearly didn't show me my brother's past just so that I knew the truth.

You're motivating me into doing something.

Isn't that right?

Stop Neumann.

What do you mean?

Oh, I see. If I could convince the Forest of the Greats

to stop eradicating all the Sinner-class Returners, then we could coexist-

That problem has already been solved.

What?

You should've passed it on your way here.

We plan to get totally wiped out.

Hence the graveyard outside.

Hiroshi Funasaka

But what about the graves of the Great-class Returners I saw?

We were ordered to honor the memory of both friend and foe,

thus we made graves for all names that appeared in my prophecy.

Wait a second.

If that solves the problems with Sinner-class Returners,

then wouldn't Neumann and the Forest of the Greats disband?

Not likely.

Neumann is obviously plotting something.

She just used Seiya's goal of world peace as a veil to hide her true intentions.

Once that's done, what's next?

After all the Sinner-class Returners are dead, who will she kill next?

It can't be!

Get back, Toya.

You guys, too. Stay behind me.

Xiang Yu! I have returned!

You're always a man of bad timing.

Caesar?

What's going on?

He's one of my Five Tiger Generals.

I sent him to spy on your side.

Yagyu-san!

Make sure this fine lady doesn't die, would you?

Musashi has arrived.

You're telling me...

that thing is Haito-san?
