01x08 - Grace Abounding

Post by bunniefuu »

ADAMAS

GRACE ABOUNDING

Such intense pressure!

What's with his form?

Even at his best, Zeus would only last
12 or 13 minutes like that.

After the damage he's taken,
he'll barely last five.

Geez, gramps.

Don't go destroying heaven.

With his muscles compressed
to their very limit,

they creaked with the immense energy
bound inside them.

Since they seemed to thr*aten
to let loose a malevolent beast,

Adam unconsciously raised his guard
for the first time in the fight.

Zeus' final form, Adamas!

His secret technique was
nothing more than the collection of energy

by compressing his muscles
and releasing it in his fist

with every ounce of speed,

making it the most powerful punch ever!

God's True Right!

GOD'S TRUE RIGHT
DIVINE REFLECTION

Unbelievable!

Adam has copied
even Zeus' mighty straight right!

God's True Left!

But Zeus doesn't flinch!

And Adam counters!

Zeus throws another right!

DIVINE REFLECTION

He keeps throwing punches!

Even though every punch is countered,

Zeus keeps on throwing them
as if he's possessed!

Incredible! But no matter
how hard he tries, it's useless!

Adam's Divine Reflection reads
everything Zeus throws at him!

Adam's winning!

- This is bad!
- What?

What's this?

Though Adam has been dodging
all the punches, he's suddenly bleeding!

What's going on?

Damn!

More than likely, he's overheating!

Until now, Zeus has been so reckless,

throwing punches so carelessly,
that I hadn't noticed!

Each of his punches would normally be
inescapable k*ller moves!

His body is shrieking!

In this fight, Adam has used
Divine Reflection without ceasing!

Continuously mimicking Zeus' moves

is putting an unimaginable burden
on his nervous system!

You mean, if this fight continues,
Adam will break?

I never thought he'd bulldoze
Adam's Divine Reflection like that!

Does that gorilla geezer bastard
even know what he's doing?

- Overheat?
- Overheat?

That's right. He's almost at his limit.

Then, at this rate,
Zeus will win for sure!

All right! Time to wipe
the smirk off that faker's face!

Don't go jumping to conclusions.

See?

Zeus!

His muscles look like
they'll tear apart even now!

He can't keep up
that volley of blows forever.

Gramps' body has reached its limit.
He's on the verge of overheating.

It's the first time I've seen Zeus
fight so desperately. How adorable!

If I were to compare it to something,

it's a battle of stamina
to see which glass...

will overflow with their lifeblood first.

That was close.

They're both barely keeping
a hold of the surface tension.

Even just the slightest trigger

will cause the glass to overflow.

It was only a matter of time
until that happened.

DIVINE AXE

But for every k*ller technique
that Zeus threw at him...

METEOR JAB

...Adam held his ground
and used his Divine Reflection

to throw them all right back!

Geez. Looks like
neither of them is giving an inch.

It was a storm of blows
that their lives depended on!

With the ultimate at stake,

the fight was so beautiful,

and before they knew it,

both gods and humans
found themselves on their feet.

- Hermes.
- Yes, Ares.

I never thought
a fight could be so beautiful.

Indeed. So it is.

Brünnhilde...

I can't seem to stop my tears.

Adam...

Hey, Adam!

Your punches haven't even
left a scratch on Zeus!

Hurry up and go down, Zeus!

Gramps!

You better not give up, no matter what!

Hang in there, darling!

Please, Zeus! Let Daddy win!

Go down!

Hurry up and go down! End this!

While Valhalla Arena went wild
with feverish excitement,

the first one to realize

what was about to happen
was none other than Adam himself.

Everything that happens in this world
is caused by things

far more insignificant
than we can imagine.

Even devastating storms

are set off by the tiniest of triggers.

That's a clean hit!

At last, Zeus has landed a blow on Adam!

Adam's taken another one!

And now Zeus is

throwing a series of blows,
a raging storm of blows!

Adam is on the defensive!

He's become a punching bag!

Brünnhilde, Adam is...

He's putting everything
into defending himself.

Most likely, Adam's eyes are...

completely blind.

It seems Adam overflowed first.

Now it's over for sure.

Yes, it's over.

But that guy Adam,

he was pretty incredible.

But I'm not complimenting him!

DIVINE AXE

He's through...

Darling! Please stop!

You've done enough, Dad!

Just go down!

Damn it all!

Quit fighting, Dad! Give up, damn you!

- Stop!
- We know who the winner is!

- Someone stop this!
- Please stop!

While all of humanity fell into despair,

from his darkness, Adam...

Somewhere, there's a baby crying.

It's all right. Don't cry.

Your father will protect you

from all the bad and scary things.

TO THE VERY END,
FATHER WAS DETERMINED TO WIN.

Bastard!

I got you.

He took those blows on purpose
so he could grab him!

That's insane!

It seemed as if
the shower of blows would never end.

But finally...

IT SUDDENLY HAPPENED

Zeus...

has crumpled to his knees!

Gramps!

That's not possible!

Zeus!

It's over.

Yes! You did it, Dad!

- Yay!
- Darling!

He's dead...

Adam is already...

dead!

Took you long enough to notice.

Long before I collapsed...

this guy had taken his last breath.

Even so, he never surrendered.

In fact, even after he d*ed,

he continued throwing punches.

Hey, kid.

You put this geezer on his ass.

Damn. You're one hell of a man.

If this had been a contest of endurance,

you would have won.

In the second bout of the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok,

Zeus is the victor!

Having lost two straight bouts,
the situation for humanity was desperate.

Yet all of humanity...

stood tall!

Though their father, Adam, had d*ed,

he left a great inheritance
for his children.

The power to rebel against the gods
and the unprecedented confidence to do so!

ZEUS VS. ADAM
TIME: 7 MINUTES, 13 SECONDS

WINNING att*ck: FISTS
WINNER: ZEUS

What's the meaning of this, Brünnhilde?

Brünnhilde!

Göll. Calm down.

Hrist...

You saw it too, didn't you, Hrist?

The knuckleduster was untouched!

HRIST, SECOND OF THE 13 VALKYRIE

Then why did Reginleif have to die?

Göll,

as the name suggests,
Völundr is a technique

in which man and Valkyrie become one.

We do not simply transform
our body into a w*apon.

In other words,

we share the same fate.

We fight together, and...

we die together.

There's no need to cry.

Reginleif was well aware
of what kind of battle this was.

Listen.

When this time comes for you,

learn from Reginleif
and prepare yourself for your fate.

I couldn't even tell her goodbye.

I couldn't do anything for her!

- Göll...
- Hrist...

That hurts!

That hurts, Hrist...

Those f*cking bastard gods!

I swear I'll make them pay for this!

I forgot!

Hrist is the only Valkyrie
who has two powers

that dwell within her one body!

Her name, Hrist,

means "the one who trembles
with fear and with rage."

Please calm down, Hrist!

That f*cking geezer!

How dare he trash my Tr*mp card like that!

There she goes!

She's binge eating those
special salmiak licorice pies!

She always does this
when she's totally stressed out!

If we lose the next one,
that's three in a row.

We have to do
whatever it takes to win the next one!

Brünnhilde?

What's wrong?

THE THIRD BOUT'S COMBATANT
FOR THE GODS IS POSEIDON

- Poseidon?
- Poseidon?

They're not letting up at all.

What? Poseidon?

It's only the third bout!
Why do they keep sending out their best?

Poseidon is Zeus' older brother, you know!

He must be totally brutal!
Of all the gods!

Brünnhilde, is it going to be all right?

I think the gods want to
end this with seven straight wins!

Göll.

Would you mind
keeping your mouth shut, please?

If you don't,
I just might have to remove your head.

She sure says the most frightening things
in the gentlest of ways!

Not even the schizoid Hrist
can hold a candle to that!

Unfortunately,
we're already in a tight corner.

Who...

who can handle this?

Who can possibly face
the Zeus of the sea, Poseidon?

When did he show up?

I will go.

Who are you?

Wait! Are you Kojiro Sasaki?

You look totally different.

You look kind of old.
In fact, you're a total geezer!

What's going on here?

I thought that the souls summoned
to Ragnarok take their strongest form,

their form during their peak,
regardless of their age at death.

That's exactly right. So how come you're...

Got you.

Is this cow's milk? That was good.

This is pretty good!

I'm not sure what it is, but it's great!

Delicious! This is great!

He's eating that stuff?

There's no way this guy is Kojiro!

That was quite a feast.

Indeed, he isn't what I expected.

However,

the way he moved just now,
that's the move of a confident master.

No doubt about it. He's the real thing!

It has been over 400 years
since I passed on.

During that time, I have never ceased
honing my swordsmanship.

My Ganryu's evolution has not yet ended.

In other words,
this is the golden age of Kojiro!
