04x11 - Man against Man

[bunniefuu]

[clattering]

So you know,

these are constraints

that restrict my movements

and weigh me down.

I'll remove them now.

[ALL grunt]

[KIBA]

Huh?

[SAIRAORG chuckles]

[CROWD cheering]

Wow, Sairaorg's fighting

aura's incredible.

It's so powerful you

can actually see it

radiating around him.

Look, I have nothing but

respect for all of you.

That's why... I won't

hold anything back!

--[XENOVIA gasps]

--[ROSSWEISSE] I've got this!

[XENOVIA yells]

[SAIRAORG grunts]

No! Run!

[SAIRAORG grunts]

[CROWD cheering]

Holy sh*t monkeys.

One down, two to go.

He's way too fast!

--[KIBA grunts]

--[SAIRAORG] I have to admit,

the tenacity on your team

is quite admirable!

[KIBA yells]

[SAIRAORG] However, your lack

of defense is your weakness.

It's an observation,

not an insult,

so please don't feel bad.

There are actually

a lot of people

who are unable to

withstand my att*cks.

[yells]

[gasps]

[SAIRAORG]

Hey, nice sh*t!

[XENOVIA groans]

While it is a very

impressive w*apon,

the Holy Sword Durandal

won't be enough to stop me!

[SAIRAORG]

Huh?

Well now, is that a

new Balance Breaker?

Bring it on!

Strong strikes and speed!

Unfortunately for you though,

they're still not strong enough.

[grunts]

[SAIRAORG]

Please don't tell me that

this is the best you can do!

[KIBA]

Heh.

[ROSSWEISSE]

You should watch your back.

[SAIRAORG screams]

[NAUD]

Are you seeing this right now?!

And here I'd thought

that Rossweisse

had already been retired.

That was a smoke screen.

The Rossweisse that

Sairaorg defeated earlier

was created through

Excalibur Mimic.

[ISSEI]

Huh?

[RIAS] What we're looking at

now is the real Rossweisse.

You'll notice that she's

holding Excalibur Transparency,

which has the ability to

make its wielder invisible.

Talk about a hella cool sword.

Yes. When Ex-Durandal was

modified, Excalibur fragments

were incorporated into

the newly formed w*apon.

So Rossweisse borrowed one of

the Excaliburs from Xenovia

and used it to her advantage.

The glowing we saw when

she fell into the water

was also part of her plan.

It was all a ruse to make it

look like she'd been retired.

Whoa! I gotta give 'em props.

That's some

genius-level strategy!

[SAIRAORG]

Well done.

I must say you had a

pretty brilliant plan.

And for that,

I give you my respect...

[ROSSWEISSE, XENOVIA grunt]

...along with this!

[grunts, yells]

[ROSSWEISSE groans]

[RUDIGER] Rias Gremory's Rook

has officially been retired.

[XENOVIA yells]

[SAIRAORG]

Heh.

[XENOVIA grunts]

[KIBA grunts]

[KIBA, XENOVIA yelling]

[RIAS, ISSEI, ASIA gasp]

[SAIRAORG grunts]

Impressive.

[XENOVIA gasps, groans]

Because of that stunt,

I'm going to be forced

to use the phoenix tears.

[gasps, groans]

[SAIRAORG] I can't go to the

finals in this pitiful shape!

[KIBA yells, gasps]

[KIBA] It looks like we've

managed to fulfill our roles.

Now it's up to my master

and best friend...

...to finish you off.

I wanna thank you all for

putting up such a good fight.

I'll have to leave the

rest up to you guys.

I'm so sorry... but I have faith

that you'll be able to win.

[RUDIGER]

The two Knights of Rias Gremory

have lost and are retired!

--[CROWD cheering]

--Kiba. Xenovia. Rossweisse.

You all fought brilliantly.

[ISSEI grunts]

[gasps]

[NAUD] Right! We're nearing

the end of the game.

The total of the dice

this time is nine!

The Bael team sends

out Kuisha Abaddon!

The Gremory team is sending

Issei Hyodo back out!

[CROWD cheering]

[ASIA] Rias, about

Issei. He seems angry.

Well, he's the type of person

who's always cared

for his friends.

This round won't last long.

[RUDIGER]

At the sound of the buzzer,

--let the seventh match begin!

--[buzzer rings]

--let the seventh match begin!

Sorry, I can't hold back.

If you don't wanna die,

I would suggest using

some kinda protection.

And for once, I don't

mean that in a dirty way.

Okay. Come at me.

Balance Breaker.

[DDRAIG]

Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!

[ISSEI]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Welsh Sonic Boost Knight!

[DDRAIG]

Change Star Sonic!

[ISSEI]

Welsh Dragonic Rook!

[DDRAIG]

Change Solid Impact!

[RUDIGER] The Queen of

Sairaorg Bael is retired!

[CROWD cheering]

[NAUD]

What an incredible att*ck!

The Queen didn't

even have the chance

to use her signature

Hole ability!

No, that's not it.

Abaddon disappeared

from the match

before Issei's

att*ck even hit her.

That's right.

I forced my Queen to retire

rather than stay and fight.

Issei's att*ck would

have k*lled her

had it actually found it's mark.

I'm sorry.

My feelings got

the better of me.

I was thinking about my friends

when I actually should have

had my head in the game.

There's something different

about the look in your eyes.

Like there's a new

level of intensity.

I've dreamed about going head to

head with the Red Dragon Emperor

for a long time now.

That's why... we should

drop this charade!

I think we should

ditch the rules

that would bar you from

fighting the next round.

I say... we skip to

the grand finale

and battle with the remaining

members from each family!

--[CROWD cheers]

--[NAUD] No way!

Sairaorg is throwing

down the gauntlet!

You know, it's not a bad idea,

considering how predictable

the next few matches would be.

A player cannot participate

twice in a row,

meaning the next round

would be Bael's Pawn

against Gremory's Bishop,

leaving the final match

between Lord Sairaorg

and the infamous

Red Dragon Emperor.

You make a good point.

An all-out team battle

would be more exciting.

And let's face it.

I doubt we'll hear any

complaints from the crowd.

That idea sounds

acceptable to me.

[CROWD cheering]

Well, get out your popcorn,

folks, because I've gotten word

that Sairorg's suggestion

has been approved!

What this means, of course,

is that the next match will be

a team battle with the remaining

family members from each side!

[CROWD cheering]

I'm excited.

Just so you know,

I might overdo it,

so try not to

hate me if you die.

Because death is

a real possibility.

I'm attacking to k*ll.

I won't hold back,

not when I still have to

avenge everyone else!

If I don't take you down,

I'll never be able to face them!

[SAIRAORG]

I can't wait to start.

[NAUD] Okay! This will

be the very last fight

of the Baels versus the

Gremorys Rating Game!

The Gremory team has set

aside their Bishop, Asia,

as an alternate,

leaving the final battle

as a two on two soiree!

[RUDIGER]

When the buzzer sounds,

--[buzzer rings]

--the final round begins!

Ruin Princess,

before we begin...

...I wanna say that I admire

how much your family

thinks of you.

Because of that,

they're very strong.

I'm almost jealous.

Okay then, Issei.

You ready to do this?

[DDRAIG]

Welsh Dragon Balance Breaker!

[ISSEI] I will get

revenge for my friends.

Even I'll admit there's no way

I can fight you rationally

after what you've done.

I'm going to destroy you!

I'd expect nothing less

from the Red Dragon Emperor.

Let's see your true power!

[ISSEI]

Prepare to die!

[SAIRAORG grunts]

[ISSEI yelling]

[BOTH grunt]

[ISSEI] Eff this sh*t!

Am I right, Ddraig?

[DDRAIG]

Yes! Boost!

[SAIRAORG groans]

[ISSEI] That was from

my friends, with love.

Wait until ya see what

else they've sent ya!

[SAIRAORG grunts]

Now that's what I

call a good punch.

I could definitely feel

your intentions on that one.

[RIAS gasps]

[REGULUS growls]

[ISSEI]

What the fu--?

[roars]

[NAUD]

Well, this is something new!

The Pawn of the Bael

team has transformed

into a giant golden lion!

[AZAZEL]

It can't be. The Lion of Nemea?

[NAUD]

What's that?

Specifically, it was the lion

that fought against Heracles

in ancient mythology.

Not long after

the ferocious battle,

it was sealed into

a Sacred Gear

and became one of the

legendary Longinus.

The w*apon was rumored

to be strong enough

to cr*ck the earth

with a single swing.

A battle axe that could

transform into a giant lion,

Regulus Nemea!

What's odd is that

I'd heard its master

had been MIA for

quite some time.

That's correct. His

master was m*rder*d.

When I found him, it was clear

there'd been a struggle.

The group that att*cked

him was still there.

But the battle axe

had turned into a lion

and destroyed every

last one of 'em.

That's when I decided to

make him part of my family.

How's that for a backstory?

So it's an intelligent Longinus

that can move without a master.

Now that's what I

call interesting.

Since he's a member of my

family and has no master,

his power is rather unstable...

...which is why he can only

fight in matches with me.

That explains why you never sent

out your Pawn until the end.

[ISSEI] Prez, take care

of the giant p*ssy!

[NAUD] Now that we've got the

unnecessarily long backstory

out of the way, the

battle can continue!

[REGULUS growling]

[CROWD cheering]

[BOTH grunting]

[ISSEI groaning]

[ISSEI yells]

[BOTH groan]

[BOTH grunting]

[ISSEI gasps, groans]

[ISSEI] Is it just me

or does his right punch

seem a little less hardcore

than his left one?

[ISSEI] On top of that,

it seems slower, too.

We won't die easily.

Don't worry, Sairaorg.

We'll send you to the Red Dragon

Emperor in the best of states.

[ISSEI gasps] Thanks, Kiba.

You guys really did me a solid!

--[DDRAIG] Boost!

--[ISSEI yells]

--[SAIRAORG groans]

--[ISSEI] Take this!

Welsh Draconic Rook!

[DDRAIG]

Change Solid Impact!

[SAIRAORG yells]

[ISSEI]

Since you have no weaknesses,

my friends took the liberty

of creating one for me!

Welsh Blaster Bishop!

[DDRAIG]

Change Fang Blast!

[ISSEI]

Dragon Blaster!

[SAIRAORG groans]

Incredible. You really

have that much power?

--[RIAS screams]

--[ISSEI gasps]

[REGULUS] At this rate,

Rias Gremory will lose

too much blood and

retire from the match.

If you don't want her to

die and forfeit the game,

use your phoenix tears!

[ISSEI gasps]

President!

[SAIRAORG]

That wasn't your place.

If I'd said that,

then my position as King

would be called into question.

Understand, Regulus?

[REGULUS]

Please forgive me.

[ISSEI gasps]

[ISSEI pants]

I can't believe I let a

stupid cat take me down.

Talk about pathetic.

[ISSEI] Hey, everything's

gonna be just fine!

[REGULUS]

Lord Sairaorg!

[SAIRAORG]

Hmm?

[REGULUS]

I want you to don me!

Do that and you'll win!

[SAIRAORG]

Enough!

I've decided that's

for emergencies,

like if the Underworld

was in grave danger!

[ISSEI gasps]

[ISSEI] No freakin' way.

He can become stronger?

[ISSEI] I want you to

use the lion's power.

Uh--

Issei?

[ISSEI] If I don't b*at

the crap outta you

at your absolute strongest,

then our efforts

don't mean a damn thing!

It's gotta be all

or nothing, Sairaorg.

What's the point of

winning against you

if you don't give this

everything you've got?!

C'mon, we're fighting

for our dreams, man!

So the least you

can do at this point

is take this sh*t seriously!

You really are stupid.

I apologize.

Of course I take this seriously.

But I was a real fool.

It's an insult to you for me

to hold back in this fight,

even a little bit.

That time has passed.

Okay! Let's do this!

Bring it, Issei!

Regulus!

Right!

[SAIRAORG] My lion,

the King of Nemea--

You who is known

as the Lion King,

respond to my rage and

transform to my vesture!

[SAIRAORG, REGULUS]

Balance Breaker!

[SAIRAORG]

Regulus Rey Leather Rex!

[SAIRAORG]

You really inspired me, Issei.

For that, I thank you.

Now, once more.

Try to come at me

with that Rook!

[ISSEI]

You asked for it!

Welsh Draconic Rook!

[ISSEI yells]

[ISSEI gasps, grunts]

[gasps]

[SAIRAORG]

So, is that your limit?

[SAIRAORG grunts]

[ISSEI groans, coughs]

[ISSEI gasps]

[grunts]

[SENIOR A]

The Juggernaut Drive.

Huh?

[SENIOR B]

Yes, the Juggernaut Drive.

You must activate

the Juggernaut Drive.

[ISSEI]

What? No.

Not this crap again.

That is the only thing you

can do that will defeat him.

[ISSEI]

Resentment, pain, hatred...

I can feel it.

Yes, embrace your dark feelings.

Do this and you will

most certainly win.

--[SENIOR A] Do it.

--[SENIOR B] Juggernaut Drive.

[SENIORS murmuring]

[ISSEI] I hate Sairaorg!

I want him to die!

I want that roid-rager

to suffer!

[ISSEI gasping]

[ISSEI screams]

[CHILDREN crying, chattering]

Don't cry, you guys!

[gasps]

The Grabbin' Dragon once told me

that boys shouldn't ever

throw a fit or cry!

He's taught me that

even if we fall down,

we have to keep getting back up

so we can protect

the ones we love!

That random boy is right!

The Grabbin' Dragon has always

stood up and defeated

all of his enemies,

even if the odds

weren't in his favor!

So we have to cheer him on,

because the Grabbin' Dragon

is the best hero ever!

Tell me, how do you

feel about him?

[CHILDREN]

We love him so much!

[IRINA]

I love him, too!

I mean, sure, he's a total perv

who has a knack for falling

face first into boobs,

but he's our total perv who

falls face first into boobs!

He's so passionate

about everything,

including the people he loves.

You know that right?

[CHILDREN]

Yes, we do!

Then let's cheer our

pervy hero on together!

Boobies! Boobies!

[ALL]

Boobies! Boobies! Boobies!

Boobies! Boobies!

Boobies! Boobies!

Boobies! Boobies...

[ISSEI sobs]

[RIAS]

Hey, do you hear that?

Those voices.

They're all cheering

for you, Issei.

[ISSEI]

Her hair...

It really is the deepest,

most beautiful shade of red

I've ever seen.

That's right.

I saw it back then, too.

Crimson red, like

the color of blood.

But... that's not how I see it.

Now it's kind and warm.

The kind of color that

wraps itself around me.

The kind of color that

gave my life meaning.

[SENIOR A]

Issei Hyodo.

You have to activate

the Juggernaut Drive.

Yes. You must use the

power of domination.

We'll annihilate him.

Jeez, you're just

whiny old wind bags.

Stop dickin' me around.

[SENIOR C] You are destined to

become the Dragon of Domination.

[ISSEI]

Whatevs!

I'm not really into S and M.

I'm more of a delightful

perv--the Grabbin' Dragon.

If I'm gonna be king,

I'm gonna be the

Harem King, baby!

[SENIOR D] No, you must become

the Dragon of Domination!

[SENIOR G]

Activate the Juggernaut Drive.

[SENIOR E]

That is our destiny!

[EMPEROR A]

How interesting.

[ISSEI gasps]

Hello, I'm one of the White

Dragon Emperors of history.

[ISSEI]

Uh...

[EMPEROR A] You may be

wondering why I'm here.

Well, it's because you once

inserted Albion's gem

into your Boosted

Gear, remember?

This must be destiny.

I would like to give you aid.

[ISSEI gasps]

I have a theory about you.

Yes. I believe you

may be able to push

both Heavenly Dragons

to a better fate.

Let's try it out.

Our hatred will

defeat your hope!

Behold our grudge.

The Scared Gear is meant

to cause destruction.

We accumulate curses

while spitting out hatred.

[groans]

Gazongas. They saved

my life one time.

So no matter what I do,

I have to chase dem titties!

[SENIORS] I, who shall awaken,

am the Heavenly Dragon

who stole the principle

of domination for God.

[ISSEI]

No, I'm the Red Dragon Emperor

who said, "f*ck the

principle of domination!"

[SENIORS]

I laugh at the infinite

and fret over the dream.

[ISSEI] I've got infinite

hopes and dreams, suckas,

that I'mma be badass!

[SENIORS] I shall become

the Red Dragon of Domination.

[ISSEI]

Eff that shizz.

More like I'll become

the Red Dragon King.

[SENIORS] I shall drown you in

the depths of crimson purgatory.

I promise everyone!

I'll show you a future that

shines of deep crimson!

Future? You think

you can show us?

Yeah, son! Chill,

I've got this.

Or... you know what?

We'll show 'em together!

Our comrades, the women

we love, and the children!

We can show them.

Let's go, ya old geezers.

I'm the Red Dragon Emperor

and the Grabbin' Dragon.

The man in love

with Rias Gremory.

I am Issei Hyodo!
