00:00Get up, Leon. You're next in line to inherit the throne of Grun.
00:17Yes, Father.
00:19Lord Leon's greatest strength has always been his kindness.
00:23Unfortunately, that's the problem, Master.
00:27Matilda!
00:27Have you no sense of decency, girl?
00:32Come on! I want to fight too, Father!
00:37Please listen, Matilda. We're not just playing a game here.
00:44It's time you grow up and learn your role as a princess!
00:48Change into a dress and go re-quietly in your room.
00:51Fine.
00:54When did that girl become such a pushy tomboy?
00:57I heard you got in trouble with your father again.
01:07Who cares? I hate him so much sometimes.
01:10He would have learned about martial arts too, you know?
01:12So unfair!
01:14If I had my way, I would have never been born a princess to be get with.
01:17Listen to me, Matilda.
01:23Please take to heart what I'm about to say.
01:25You foolish girl.
01:32Why did you come back here?
01:34I thought the main course would come running back if I used her father as bait to ensnare her in my trap.
01:41I'll take you down with my own two hands.
01:44Got that?
01:44This is a feast I must savor.
01:48It'd be a waste to just eat you in one bite.
01:50Who says you shouldn't play with your food a little?
02:03Latuba!
02:03That attack was father's technique.
02:19Surprised?
02:20What you're witnessing is my cheat skill.
02:24Gluttony.
02:25Not only do I gain increased abilities depending on the flesh I eat, but I even gain the ability to use skills possessed by said flesh.
02:36In other words, you will be ripped to shreds by your own father's hand, and then what's left of you will be eaten by yours truly.
02:44Now, it's time for my dinner.
02:55I should have never doubted you for a second.
02:58Infiltrating the castle was your plan all along, wasn't it?
03:01Knowing sensei, I was quick to assume he wanted to be eaten.
03:05Yeah, now that I think about it, nobody would actually want that.
03:11Hmm.
03:13This the place?
03:14Hey, aren't we going to take on that otherworlder?
03:16Near's right.
03:17We must go teach that awful man a lesson.
03:19No.
03:20This must be it.
03:25The late queen's chambers?
03:28Wait, don't touch that, sensei!
03:30What is this tiny medallion?
03:32This is a moral transgression of the worst kind.
03:35What are we wasting time for?
03:37I thought we were going to take down that Kybera guy.
03:41Huh?
03:42We need your services, brave warrior.
03:45Oh, you hush.
03:47I guess I'll help.
03:55Very nicely done, Near.
04:04Still standing, huh?
04:07Wow.
04:08Just give up already?
04:12Now tiger kick.
04:18Activate lion's blade.
04:19You should have listened to your father.
04:28Your paltry little kitty moves are completely useless against me.
04:34Leon!
04:37Come on, Leon!
04:39I know you can hear me!
04:43Why do you spend all your free time training so hard?
04:46I thought you didn't really like fighting that much.
04:51Yeah, you're right.
04:52Honestly, I don't think I'm very skilled at martial arts.
04:55You probably have way more talent for it than I've got.
04:58But even if you do...
05:00That's exactly why I have to work harder than everybody else.
05:06I want to become strong like father as soon as I can,
05:09so that I may fulfill my duty as prince and protect you, mother, and the entire kingdom.
05:14Just give up.
05:27That's quite enough, Matilda.
05:29Foolish girl, do you not realize how much stronger your opponent is?
05:34I'm well aware, father.
05:36But I still have to try.
05:38I know if my brother were here today,
05:40he'd never give up fighting for our kingdom.
05:48That's what I like to hear.
05:52You see, there's nothing in this world that makes me feel more alive
05:56than getting to devour the flesh of a feisty creature such as yourself.
06:01Yes, utterly perfect.
06:03I can finally say it with full conviction now.
06:06Those fruitless days I wasted in my empty life,
06:09they were all leading to this glorious moment.
06:11I was so unfulfilled in my old world,
06:19I may as well have been dead.
06:22Born with a silver spoon in my mouth,
06:24a mansion for a home,
06:26and parents would buy me anything I wanted.
06:29Gourmet dishes would cover the table at every meal.
06:31One day, after my heart had hardened and hollowed,
06:36I was struck with the most profound epiphany.
06:40I want to know what it means to live,
06:43and not merely to exist.
06:51But my wish went unsatisfied,
06:57and my hunger for life only grew more persistent.
07:02Of course it did.
07:04From the beginning,
07:05I was no different than an animal trapped in an opulent cage.
07:11Everyone would tell me how fortunate I was
07:14and how jealous they were of my happiness.
07:18Me happy.
07:19Don't be ridiculous.
07:31Of all people,
07:33me?
07:34No!
07:40I was the most miserable person
07:42in that cold, empty world.
07:44I suppose that's how I came to be with all of you.
07:55And here in this world,
07:56I'm free to eat whatever I want,
07:58whatever I want,
07:59and whoever I want.
08:00I no longer live as an animal trapped in a cage.
08:03Now, only your succulent flesh will do.
08:06Nothing else could satisfy my hunger.
08:11Kivara, stop it!
08:12Please don't do this!
08:13Matilda!
08:17A truly uninspiring story.
08:25Such a boring man.
08:27Sensei!
08:36Why won't it move?
08:38This hasn't happened before.
08:40What's going on?
08:41My instincts are rejecting even the notion of eating him.
08:46And just who are you supposed to be?
08:49That is far enough,
08:50you cursed otherworlder.
08:52Heaven shall rain down its punishment upon you.
08:55It's over.
08:56This ends here.
08:57For Sensei has been granted the miraculous ability
09:00to banish evil otherworlders from this realm.
09:02Huh?
09:03He can do what now?
09:04We need you, Sensei.
09:06Understand?
09:07It's time to write Kivara's story.
09:09Your divine gift.
09:11Use storyteller now!
09:13Hmm.
09:13I'd really rather not.
09:16This unremarkable man's boastful tale of misfortune
09:19bears no literary value.
09:22You must be trying to piss me off at this point.
09:29I'm the Apex Predator!
09:31You're all dead meat.
09:44That demi-human princess can watch you die
09:46before I devour her!
09:49Are you okay?
09:51Oh no.
09:51Please open your eyes, Nier.
09:52This is my fault.
09:58If I hadn't jumped in and insisted on fighting,
10:01if I hadn't stood there and watched Annette
10:04and the others walk away,
10:05if I hadn't convinced myself I could take Leon's place,
10:10none of this would have happened
10:11and they'd all be okay.
10:14It's my fault.
10:15I'm the only one to blame.
10:17My latest story is dedicated to you.
10:35I urge you to read it.
10:47As I had expected,
10:51your life full of twists and turns
10:53was a subject worthy of my pen.
10:56Now, turn the page, Tama.
11:05That light is Sensei's divine gift.
11:08I thought it only worked on otherworlders, though.
11:13Shio, now!
11:17What do you think you're looking at, huh?
11:22The more I learned of what you've been through,
11:24the more evident it all became.
11:27You are a kind woman
11:28with profound compassion for others,
11:31and it's for that reason
11:32you tend to suppress your own true feelings.
11:34You're also quite a clumsy woman.
11:38Bound by your father's expectations
11:39for you as a princess,
11:41you were deeply conflicted
11:42in your younger years,
11:44and still are.
11:45After tragedy befell your family,
11:49you sought to comfort your father
11:51by earnestly trying to take the place
11:53of your brother,
11:54who had been a most exemplary prince.
11:59Alas, despite your best efforts,
12:01your sincere intentions went unrecognized,
12:04which consequently deepened
12:06the growing rift between you and your father.
12:08And while experiencing that pain,
12:12you started to lose sight
12:13of your true self as well,
12:15your denial painfully obvious.
12:18However,
12:19your late mother knew,
12:21and she made sure you knew
12:22who you were meant to be.
12:24You remember, don't you?
12:25Listen to me, Matilda.
12:34Please take to heart
12:35what I'm about to say.
12:41Dear girl,
12:42your life belongs to you
12:43and you alone.
12:45You have a right to live the life
12:47you've envisioned for yourself.
12:48I can't.
12:49Father would never allow that.
12:52I suppose I will have to convince him then.
12:55Really?
12:58Please don't worry yourself, Matilda.
13:01The only thing your father wants
13:02is for his darling daughter
13:03to know true happiness after all.
13:05And now here you are,
13:09standing at a crossroads.
13:11Do you mold yourself into the ideal princess
13:13according to what your father wants?
13:15Or perhaps you are destined
13:16to follow the same path
13:18set out for your brother
13:19and live as the ideal prince?
13:25Sensei,
13:26I don't think...
13:28Don't worry,
13:29I've already figured it out.
13:31The reality is,
13:35neither of those paths
13:36is meant for you.
13:40In the end,
13:41you're just Tama.
13:53You're free to write
13:54the rest of your story.
13:56The future chapters
13:58belong to you.
14:01Is that really the crest
14:02of the Divine Beast?
14:04That's amazing, Matilda.
14:07The light's a little faint,
14:08but it's there.
14:08I see it.
14:09It's the sign that the crest
14:10will make its mark.
14:12We should tell father
14:12about this right away.
14:14No way!
14:15He can't find out,
14:17so don't tell him.
14:18It's out of the question.
14:20He's opposed to me
14:21having anything to do
14:22with martial arts
14:22and combat of any kind.
14:24There's no way
14:25he'd be happy about this.
14:28Please, Leon,
14:29trust me.
14:30As you wish.
14:32After that,
14:33the light hasn't shown itself
14:35in my daughter's arms
14:36ever again.
14:37I forced her to repress it.
14:40I locked away
14:41her natural talents
14:42because I was preoccupied
14:43with shielding her
14:44from danger.
14:47Forgive me, Matilda.
14:48Your father was a fool.
14:50But you knew all along,
14:53Mabama.
14:54You saw it.
14:56Well,
14:58how interesting.
14:59My body's finally finished
15:01digesting the flesh
15:02of the King of Groon.
15:04If this were a manga
15:05or anime,
15:06this would be the trope
15:07where your powers awaken
15:08and you defeat me
15:09so that everyone
15:10may live happily ever after.
15:12But things aren't
15:12going to turn out that way.
15:14You know why?
15:15Because I'm the real predator here.
15:18Livestock like you
15:19are destined to be eaten by me
15:20while screaming
15:21at the height
15:21of your despair.
15:22I wouldn't be so certain.
15:29It may be true
15:31that hope deceives us
15:32time and again.
15:33But even so,
15:35the fear of despair
15:36and failure
15:37can hardly be called
15:38less deceptive.
15:40For even when we find
15:41ourselves drowning
15:42in the depths of our misery,
15:44we never cease
15:45digging deep
15:46for the barest thread of hope
15:47that'll inspire us
15:48to stay strong.
15:50Lapama!
15:51Leon, please protect her.
15:54This is your chance!
15:54Go after him now!
15:56Toma!
15:58You fool!
16:00Must I remind you
16:00I gluttony consumed
16:01your father's arm?
16:03Now I have full command
16:04of all his skills as well.
16:07Cat distraction.
16:11Cat headbutt.
16:15You filthy little sow!
16:17Divine Beast Fist
16:20Ultimate Skill
16:21King's Fang
16:30But you're nothing
16:37but livestock!
16:38Toma!
16:44Your majesty,
16:59let us heal her wounds.
17:01Hmm.
17:02You did very well
17:07out there, my friend.
17:08You were so inspiring.
17:10I was in awe.
17:12I do believe
17:13this belongs to you, sir.
17:16That's my wife's.
17:18You read her diary
17:20without asking permission?
17:22Indeed I did.
17:23Will you sentence me
17:24to death for that?
17:25No.
17:26As a father
17:27I am sincerely
17:28grateful to you.
17:29You not only saved
17:30but also guided
17:31my daughter.
17:34All I did
17:36was merely put pen
17:37to paper
17:37and write a book.
17:39Hmm.
17:41My.
17:42What happened?
17:43It seems
17:44Princess Matilda
17:45has awakened
17:45to her powers.
17:47I saw the light
17:48from below
17:48that was most certainly
17:49the glow
17:50of the King's Fang.
17:51Indeed.
17:52My daughter
17:53displayed impressive
17:54bravery and skill.
17:55However,
17:56I hate to admit it
17:57but it appears
17:58as though
17:58the young princess's
17:59technique
17:59is still
18:00rather unrefined.
18:06No freaking way.
18:08Impossible.
18:09How can he move
18:10after a strike
18:11from the King's Fang?
18:13Pardon?
18:14How odd.
18:15I don't know
18:16how I came
18:17to be revived.
18:20Oh.
18:22I see.
18:23Yes,
18:24I do remember now.
18:26I assume you recall
18:28when I told you
18:28I'm one of the
18:29seven heroes
18:30who slew
18:30the Dark Lord?
18:32Well,
18:32the truth is
18:33when no one
18:34else was looking
18:35I secretly
18:36feasted on a chunk
18:38of his still
18:38warm flesh.
18:40How absolutely
18:41grotesque.
18:42And now
18:43I can feel
18:43his endless power
18:44welling up
18:45from inside me.
18:47Finally,
18:47I have become
18:48the apex predator
18:50of this world.
18:51it all ends now,
18:56livestock!
19:10It's Valdelia.
19:12Huh?
19:13You?
19:14You're the Dark Lord's
19:15daughter,
19:16are you not?
19:17You're still alive?
19:19What perfect timing.
19:20There's something
19:21I have just been
19:22dying to tell you.
19:24Your father
19:24tasted like
19:25ambrosia.
19:26Eating his flesh,
19:28I experienced
19:28the joy of being
19:29alive for the first
19:30time of my
19:31miserable existence.
19:32She's like
19:43scary powerful.
19:50You.
19:51The young woman
19:52with the gloomy eyes.
19:55It's you.
19:56How are you
19:56still alive?
19:58He was one of your
19:59father's executioners,
20:00yes?
20:02So did it work?
20:04Do you feel
20:05better now?
20:06Huh?
20:10Next time,
20:11you're dead.
20:16Sensei is
20:17incredible.
20:18He managed to
20:19drive off
20:20that terrifying
20:21woman.
20:22I must admit,
20:24upon further
20:25reflection,
20:26he too was just
20:27a pitiful soul
20:27who lost sight
20:28of his path.
20:30And although
20:31she was successful
20:32in killing him,
20:33thus avenging
20:34her father's honor,
20:36the dismal sorrow
20:37in her eyes
20:38still remains.
20:41In all truth,
20:42I aspire to be
20:44the one that
20:44writes her story
20:45someday.
20:45I appreciate
20:56all you've done.
20:58I'd like to thank you
20:58for saving the kingdom.
21:00Also,
21:01where is the princess?
21:03Oh,
21:03well,
21:04she chose to remain
21:05at the castle
21:05to support the king.
21:07We'll miss her,
21:08but that's the decision
21:10Tama made.
21:12Ah,
21:13I see.
21:15And what do you
21:22think you're
21:22doing here?
21:24Father!
21:25This room is for
21:26graceful and delicate
21:27little princesses.
21:29A daring girl like you
21:30doesn't belong in here.
21:32Didn't the travelers
21:32already set off
21:33to leave town?
21:35You should go
21:36adventure alongside them.
21:38But I decided
21:39to stay to protect...
21:40I have not yet
21:41grown so old
21:42that I need
21:42the protection
21:43of a greenhorn
21:44who lacks
21:44proper training.
21:46But father...
21:48However...
21:49I expect you home
21:51once you feel
21:52you've completed
21:53your journey.
21:54Understood,
21:55Matilda?
21:56Huh?
22:03Hey, wait!
22:04What are you doing?
22:05How shameless!
22:06Where'd you get that?
22:08Unbelievable little...
22:09Stop that now, girl!
22:10You got it, father!
22:12I promise you
22:13I'll come back
22:14as an awesomely
22:15powerful martial artist
22:16just like you!
22:18You're the best!
22:19It seems you're
22:25still as clumsy
22:26with words as always.
22:29That's all you can say
22:30to your daughter
22:31as she departs
22:32on a life-changing
22:33adventure?
22:33But, Master,
22:35what do you mean?
22:36I believe I successfully
22:38conveyed my feelings
22:39to her this time.
22:40Oh, really?
22:49I hope so,
22:51Leon Lapama.
23:00Hey, Nier!
23:02Can you hear me?
23:03What is it, Sensei?
23:06I regret to inform you,
23:08but the truth is
23:09you have nowhere near
23:10the knack for
23:11coffin pulling
23:11that a net does.
23:13What?
23:14You are no longer
23:15allowed to pull me.
23:16Then get out and walk,
23:18why don't you?
23:19It appears as if
23:21that will be
23:21unnecessary.
