04x12 - Lion Heart of the School Festival

[bunniefuu]

Future? You think

you can show us?

Yeah, son! Chill, I've got this.

Or, you know what?

We'll show 'em together!

[gasps]

Huh?

[gasps]

Your armor. That's impossible.

♪

--[CROWD cheers]

--[NAUD] Oh, wow!

The Red Dragon Emperor was

enveloped in a bright red light!

Not only is he back on his feet,

but he appears to

be as good as new!

What could have caused such

a drastic transformation?

Look at the color of his aura.

It's the same shade of

crimson as Rias' hair.

The same as the woman he loves.

[DDRAIG] Issei. It would seem

most of the curse is gone.

[ISSEI] Yeah, some old

Albion dude helped me out.

[DDRAIG] I see. And now

you've somehow managed

to use the power of

the Red Dragon Emperor

to promote yourself

to a Queen.

[ISSEI] No way. Guess that makes

me the new Boss Bitch, baby.

Well, it looks like you

actually pulled off

a Cardinal Crimson Promotion.

Not surprising, since red is

the color of the Gremory house.

[RIAS gasps]

[ISSEI] Listen up! Today I'm

fighting for my dreams!

And for the dreams

of the children!

And for the dreams of

the Gremory Family!

You're goin' down!

Because... Because...

Aw, sh*t! Because...!

[ISSEI] ...I'm in love

with Rias Gremory!

[CROWD cheers]

[laughs]

Way to go, kid, that

took balls. Alright then!

It's time to finish

this Rating Game,

so charge at me

with all you've got!

[ISSEI]

Here comes the pain!

[DDRAIG] Super Sonic Booster!

Solid Impact Booster!

[ISSEI, SAIRAORG grunting]

[NAUD]

It's a fist fight!

They're just going toe-to-toe

like a couple of rambunctious

children in the school yard!

Except there are no teachers

around to break up the fight,

the school yard is being

completely destroyed,

and their punches are

strong enough to explode

an ordinary man's skull like

a drop-kicked blowup doll!

[shouts]

[ISSEI groans]

[DDRAIG]

Listen!

Your body hasn't had time to

adjust the Queen form yet!

At this rate, our Balance

Breaker is going to deactivate!

[ISSEI] We're just gonna

have to deal with it!

[ISSEI]

This roid-freak's going down!

[ISSEI]

Suck on this!

[DDRAIG]

Solid Impact Booster!

[SAIRAORG groans]

[SAIRAORG grunts]

[SAIRAORG]

Why are my legs shaking?

This is just the beginning.

No way. I'll enjoy this

battle to the fullest.

[grunts]

I have to keep going.

Otherwise, I don't deserve

my place in the underworld

as a member of the Bael Family.

I must not fail!

He's got so much

determination. But...

...this p*ssy is

about to get poached.

[SAIRAORG shouts]

[SAIRAORG grunts]

[ISSEI]

Here goes... Crimson Blaster!

[DDRAIG]

Fang Blast Booster!

[ISSEI]

Money sh*t!

[SAIRAORG grunts]

[ISSEI gasps]

[ISSEI]

Holy sh*t! It can't be!

Arise.

[SAIRAORG grunts]

Get up. You must be strong!

This isn't the end

for you, Sairaorg.

[grunts]

[MISLA] You fight for the

sake of the underworld,

and so that no other

will have to experience

what you went through.

That's the future

you want to see.

A world where skill

and hard work,

not what someone was born to be,

is what is truly valued.

Isn't that what's driving you?

My dearest Sairaorg.

Please make your

dream come true.

Create the world

that you desire!

[SAIRAORG grunts, yells]

[SAIRAORG yells]

[SAIRAORG]

Now then, Issei Hyodo.

For the sake of all my goals,

this is where you are defeated!

[ISSEI]

Bring it on, bitch!

[SAIRAORG shouts]

[ISSEI shouts]

[ISSEI] He's taken so much

damage, but he's still going.

Vali and Cao Cao were powerful

shits, too, but there's an

F-cup-sized difference

between him and those dudes.

They're not even in

the same league!

He'll stop at nothing

to curb stomp my ass.

He thinks that if he loses,

he won't have another chance.

So he'll die here

if he needs to.

He's put everything into

this wet dream of his.

Which means there's

absolutely no way

the dude's backing down.

He's an ass-kicking automaton!

[SAIRAORG]

This game is all I have.

If I lose here, I lose my life.

Everything I've built up to

this point will fall apart.

For someone who wasn't

born with demonic power,

this is my only path

to victory. My single chance.

So I'll fight until my

knuckles are bloody,

and you can see the

white of my bones.

It may seem uncool to you,

but that's all I can do.

[ISSEI] He's incredible.

I think I'm hard.

I can't even put his

amazingness into actual words.

Which is exactly why

I'll keep fighting.

I want to defeat a man like you!

[ISSEI]

I have a dream, too.

I want to make the President

the King of this game.

And then become a king myself.

Meaning...

...I'll be the strongest

pawn in existence!

Eat fist, douche!

[ISSEI] Still not enough?

How much do I have left?

I'm so drained.

[ISSEI exhales] I'll go on as

long as I can clench my fists.

I'll do it for her.

[REGULUS] Red Dragon Emperor.

That's enough.

[ISSEI gasps]

[REGULUS]

My master. Lord Sairaorg.

[ISSEI gasps]

[REGULUS]

Can't you see?

It's too late. He's already

lost consciousness.

[ISSEI gasps]

[REGULUS] Even so,

he was genuinely happy.

He rushed forward...

without hesitation.

He truly enjoyed fighting you,

putting his dream on the line.

[REGULUS whimpers]

In the end, he was

fighting out of sheer will.

Even though he was knocked out,

he never paused.

He moved forward...

toward his goal.

[ISSEI] Thank you.

You totally insane badass!

[CROWD cheers]

[NAUD]

Sairaorg Bael has resigned.

Rias Gremory is the official

winner of the Rating Game!

[ISSEI grunts]

Are you awake?

[gasps]

Is everything over?

It was a good fight. Maybe the

first time in my entire life

I've ever been

satisfied by losing.

Although, honestly, I don't

really remember the end of it.

There's only one

thing I'm sure about.

That was the best

battle I ever had.

Same here, bro. And I

feel great right now.

Am I interrupting something?

[ISSEI]

Whoa, Sir Zechs!

[SIR ZECHS] No, please.

Don't get up on my account.

Listen, Issei. Sairaorg.

That was truly incredible.

The higher-ups are

more than satisfied.

That battle has everyone

expecting great things

from the both of you.

Sairaorg, if you please.

May I take a moment to

speak about Issei's future?

Yes, of course.

I can see myself out.

No need. I want you

to hear this as well.

Issei. There's been some

talk of promoting you

to a mid-ranking devil.

[ISSEI gasps] You're not just

jerkin' me off here, are you?

I'm not. To be precise,

you, Kiba, and Akeno

would be promoted.

[gasps]

You still have much to learn,

Grabbin' Dragon.

But everyone is invested

in what you do from now on.

Accept this fate, Issei Hyodo.

[ISSEI gasps]

I believe that you'll become a

mighty hero of the underworld.

[gasps]

[SIR ZECHS chuckles]

Well, I'll explain the

details at a later time.

For now, I'll take my leave.

A promotion is great,

but you should think

about someone else.

Tell me, how is Rias doing?

[gasps]

Seems like the perfect time to

tell her your feelings again.

[ISSEI grunts]

Get her alone and tell

her what's in your heart,

face-to-face.

It's the only way you'll know

if she feels the same way.

You've already shown

courage today. Why stop now?

Dammit. This sucks!

What if she totally

steps on my heart?

If she does, you can

come back to me.

I'll hook you up with

a stiff drink or two.

You can cry all you want.

Thank you so much, Sairaorg.

Sorry I thought you

were a dickhole.

[ISSEI sobs]

Feelings are the worst.

[SAIRAORG chuckles]

[CROWD chatters]

Welcome everyone to the

mansion of the Occult.

'Kay, say cheese!

Here, that was a good one!

Oh my gosh. Thanks so much!

[chattering]

[ISSEI] The President dressed

as a waitress. Ha. ha. ha!

It's so hot that my cockpit's

getting cramped.

--Issei?

--Huh?

Hey, it's your turn to

scare the customers.

I'm on it!

Rawr!

[GIRL A screams] It's a

fugly perv-monster! Run away!

--[GIRLS scream]

--[ISSEI] Huh?

[GIRLS]

He's so cute!

Boo, I'm so scary!

Um, I'm gonna get you!

Leave it to Gasper to be the

least threatening vampire ever.

[KATASE]

Ah-hah! There he is!

We're gonna b*at the

perversity outta you.

Here goes!

[KATASE, MURAYAMA]

Get him!

[ISSEI yells, grunts]

Ow, ow, ow!

Well. f*ck me.

Uh?

[ISSEI]

Seriously?

The guys who were backing

Sairaorg just pulled out like a

dude on prom night?

[AZAZEL]

The higher ups value talent.

That's how it works

when you're a devil.

If you can't cut it, then

there are consequences.

But what about his seat

as heir to the Bael Family?

[AZAZEL chuckles] I can assure

you that much hasn't changed.

Even with his loss, Sairaorg is

still powerful, and popular too.

That's not something

they can take away.

Oh, I guess that's cool then.

You should probably worry

more about yourself.

After all, you've got

your own problems.

Don't forget about

your new Queen form.

You need to start thinking

about how to level that up.

Right!

[MATSUDA]

Issei! Yo, where you at, playa?

Well, sounds like

you're needed.

[MATSUDA]

There he is!

Hey, we got a mad bone to

pick with yo scrawny ass!

They friggin' black balled

us from your fun-filled,

fun bag café, you gots

to help a brotha out!

Yeah, the bro code states

you have to help us

sneak in somehow!

[ISSEI grunts]

Dude, the bro code always ends

with a wicked ass kicking!

--[door clatters]

--[RIAS gasps]

Issei?

[ISSEI]

Uh, hey there.

You did good work

out there today.

Thanks. Whatcha doin?

Oh, I was just thinking.

You know, since this is

my last festival and all.

[ISSEI]

Hm...

Just get her alone and tell

her what's in your heart.

[ISSEI] C'mon dude, grow a

pair already. Tell her.

Tell her all that junk

you've been hiding.

And then, call her by name

instead of that stupid

"Prez" sh*t.

She deserves that much.

[ISSEI grunts]

Hey, Rias.

[gasps]

Huh?

I wanna protect you for the

rest of our lives together.

[gasps]

Because well, the truth is,

I've been in love with

you for a long time!

[RIAS gasps, whimpers]

[gasps]

I'm okay! It's just...

I'm really happy.

[ISSEI gasps]

It's been so long since

you said my name.

You had me worried that... that

I would never hear it again.

I waited so long.

But then you said

all that at the game,

and it made me happy.

I didn't expect

to hear it then.

It caught me by surprise.

You drive me crazy. I never

know what do with you.

So... what's that mean for us?

Do you feel the same way, maybe?

[RIAS]

Issei... Listen I...

I should have said

something sooner.

I do love you.

More than anyone else.

[ALL yelp]

[RIAS, ISSE gasp]

[KIBA]

Yep, that kinda hurt.

Hey! What the hell?

Uh, hi! Congratulations to

the both of you!

I'm positive that you'll have

many happy years together.

And I'm positive this

won't stop me from trying

to procreate with you.

And I'm positive that I can

probably convince Issei

to cheat on you with me.

Basically, the future's gonna

be a ho-down throw-down.

Uh. You can count me out.

You guys are, like, so cute!

I suppose I can allow

your crazy teenage hormones

to go wild just for today.

Get outta here!

This isn't an orgy!

For real!

You have no idea how long

I've been waiting for this one

special moment, you could at

least give us a little privacy!

[BOTH gasp]

This is all your fault, Issei!

You should have confessed

somewhere more secluded.

[ISSEI gasps]

How was I supposed to know?

[ALL]

Just take responsibility, Issei.

[ISSEI]

Huh?

[IRINA, XENOVIA giggle]

Time for the romantic kiss!

[ISSEI, RIAS gasp]

[ISSEI, RIAS chuckle]

[ISSEI]

Rias.

[RIAS]

Issei.

[SAIRAORG]

How's Issei doin' these days?

[AZAZEL] Good, he finally manned

up and confessed to Rias.

You know, I really do

think those two kids

are a good fit in the long run.

I'm surprised you're worried

about others right now.

You're a pretty decent guy Lord

Sairaorg, through and through.

[SAIRAORG]

Heh.

So then, back to

square one, huh?

I'm used to these

kind of things.

It's honestly no big deal.

Can you believe Issei was

concerned about your status?

Please tell him this for me:

I'm gonna be back on top.

My Lord Sairaorg!

[SAIRAORG gasps]

[NURSES gasp]

[DOCTOR A gasps]

Mother?

[SAIRAORG gasps]

Mother!

It's Sairaorg, please say

that you recognize me.

I do. You're my dearest son.

[SAIRAORG gasps]

Oh Sairaorg, look how

strong you've become.

In my dreams, I felt

like I watched you grow,

not only as a man

but as a person.

I'm so proud of you, darling.

I've missed you so much.

[SAIRAORG sobs]

Mother. Let's go home. Together.

[AZAZEL]

I have a sneaking suspicion

who created this miracle.

It had to be Boobielingual.

There's no other explanation.

The Grabbin Dragon

strikes again.

He manages to get through even

the thickest personal bubbles.

I wonder how far his

naiveté will reach?

I'm interested to see

what he'll do next.

[AZAZEL] Lord Sakra!

May I have a word?

Yo. 'Sup, Fallen Angel

of Justice?

[AZAZEL] Cut the crap,

you knew about Cao Cao

before we did, didn't you?

[SAKRA]

Heh. Can you be more specific?

I've known him since he was

a pint-sized little brat.

Why do ya care so much?

Dammit, Indra!

[SAKRA laughs] I can't

believe you called me that,

looks like baby Azazel's balls

have dropped, am I right?

[AZAZEL grunts]

Hey, listen.

It's in a God's nature to

spout out stupid ideals while

doing whatever they

please in the shadows.

So you're just gonna have

to get off your high horse.

Yes, I'm aware. However...

[SAKRA] Fine, just chill out,

I'll throw you a friggin' bone.

It is true that Orphis

has become a problem.

In return, give that Tit

Dragon a message for me.

Tell him I think he's

a total bad ass.

And that if he does

get outta line,

that I have no problem

whatsoever destroying

what's left of his

decrepit soul.

Cause the label of heaven

is only available to us.
