03x11 - Justice VS Justice

[bunniefuu]

We will now begin our match between Rishia Ivyred...

Everyone wants my help.

Everyone believes in me.

...and Perfect Hidden Justice!

I need to win the money... so I can save the slaves... Save everyone...

Make them understand... that I'm right!

That I'm not inferior to anyone.

That I'm on the side of justice...

Itsuki-sama!

Oh. Are you my opponent, Rishia-san?

This will be easy.

You saved me from despair.

Is that what you came here to say?

So this time...

It's my turn to save you!

You? Save me?

Don't make me laugh.

Don't you dare insult Nee-chan!

She's really strong!

That's right! She's really strong!

Don't let this guy b*at you, Nee-chan!

I get it.

This whole fight was a setup, then.

You lied to me and tried to trick me.

Just like you do with everyone else!

It must be the will of heaven that I was brought here!

Right here, I'll show the world all the evil you've done...

and make you understand just how right I am!

No, Itsuki-sama!

Stop it, Itsuki! Do you know what it is you're about to do?

I...

I will never forgive evil!

No!

THE RISING OF THE SHIELD HERO

Itsuki, you...

Itsuki-sama, please, listen to me!

EPISODE JUSTICE VS JUSTICE - Itsuki-sama, please, listen to me!

EPISODE JUSTICE VS JUSTICE - The Phoenix is about to revive, and you're in danger, too!

The Phoenix is about to revive, and you're in danger, too!

Naofumi!

A little birdie told me you're buying up child slaves,

forcing them to do heavy labor, and keeping all the money they earn for yourself!

I even heard you gave expensive medicine to a sl*ve

to help his sick sister, only so you could exploit him forever!

And even now, you're using those kids as shields to protect yourself!

You coward!

That's not all!

A mother came to me and said that despite your hero powers,

you refused to save her son!

Her son was already dead, right?

Why didn't you use your miraculous powers?

I'll never forgive you for that!

Even the legendary shield can't bring back the dead. You know that.

You seem obsessed with making me out to be the worst person in the world.

But what about the ones who d*ed because you failed to defeat the Spirit Tortoise?

Or does it not count when you're the one who screws up?

So you're trying to change the subject to me so you can escape from your crimes?

This is a waste of my time.

If you have no intention of repenting at all...

Then I won't show any mercy!

That power...

This is my new bow...

The Justice Bow!

With the full power of this unlocked bow...

I'll show you just how evil you are!

Stop this!

Now see for yourself just how right I am!

Meteor Shield!

A-Are you okay?

Itsuki-sama!

As the referee for this underground coliseum,

I was secretly in the Shield Hero's service!

Please, forgive me!

Very well.

Repent and change your ways.

I will, Itsuki-sama!

This power... is Itsuki being affected by the Curse series?

That bow of yours...

Amazing, isn't it?

It's a w*apon infused with holy power, given to me by Princess Malty.

With this, I can make everyone understand me.

I can save them and put them on the path of justice!

So Bitch got to Itsuki when he was in shock after losing to the Spirit Tortoise?

All of you need to get out of here now.

Keel, you're in charge.

Got it.

Everyone, follow me!

Come on! It's time to go!

Come, everyone!

Fight me, so you can understand who's really right here!

- Fight me, so you can understand who's really right here! - Perfect Hidden Justice!

Perfect Hidden Justice!

- Perfect Hidden Justice! - Itsuki-sama!

Itsuki-sama!

You're full of sh*t.

That bow hasn't got a damn thing to do with justice.

It brainwashes people!

No, this bow is true justice!

Yes! Justice means power!

It means proving you're right!

Aiding the weak and humbling the strong!

And that means I've got just one job...

Destroying all the evil in this world!

Itsuki...

Itsuki-sama!

I refuse to accept your justice!

I'd forgotten you were here, Rishia-san.

Ever since we first met, I've asked myself what justice really means.

I wanted to be someone who could save people who needed my help,

just like you saved me.

But you're not the same person you were anymore.

The justice I learned from you...

My justice... refuses to accept what you're doing!

Rishia-san, I'll save you once more.

No matter what anyone says, I'm on the side of justice!

Muso Activation!

Hengen Muso Swordcraft...

Shining Arrow!

Spiral Rush!

Hengen Muso Thrusting Swordcraft!

Circle!

I see...

So you're a little tougher than I thought.

Rishia-san, you need to understand me and awaken to justice!

If you do...

No!

I refuse to accept the person you are right now, Itsuki-sama!

Even if that means I die here...

Hengen Muso Secret Technique...

First Stance:

Sun!

Meteor sh*t!

Second Stance:

Moon!

My justice...

can't be stopped by someone as weak as you, Rishia-san!

Third Stance!

Star!

Enough of this!

Law Fanatic!

A self-boost skill?

Itsuki-sama! You mustn't let that power take control of you!

Let go of it!

That idiot Itsuki's so obsessed with his own justice, it's blinding him!

So his deadly sin would be pride, then?

Stop it, Itsuki!

If you use any more of the Curse series's power, you'll regret it!

I have nothing to say to evil!

Take this! Shadow Bind!

Bind Arrow!

I-I haven't lost yet!

No, this is over.

Let this foolish sinner pay for her transgressions

with her being roasted to death in a brazen bull!

Let her writhe in pain as her dying screams are converted

into the cries of a raging bull!

Bull of Phalaris!

Rishia!

Now victory is mine!

Fourth Stance!

Demon!

My eyes!

Why... Why do you have to keep getting in my way?!

I'll never forgive you!

Itsuki-sama?

I'll never forgive you...

I'll never forgive you...

I'll never forgive you...

Itsuki! Come back to us!

Itsuki!

I'll never forgive you!

Die.

Anyone who opposes me must die!

Itsuki-sama! You mustn't rely on that power!

Die for the sake of justice!

This world is defiled by your evil!

Naofumi-sama!

Right.

Rishia! Take it!

I'm sorry.

This battle is between me and Itsuki-sama.

Accepting your w*apon would go against my own justice.

Rishia-san...

Then the battle is over, it seems.

No, it's not over at all.

How will you fight without a w*apon?

Now you understand, right? Give up!

No matter how much I suffer or despair... I won't give up!

Because that's what you taught me to do when you saved me from despair!

You taught me that justice never gives up!

Fool... you're evil!

The opposite of justice isn't evil!

It's another form of justice!

Every single person has their own form of justice. That's what I think!

No! You're the evil that defiles the world!

I'm on the side of justice... I'll use my power to save the world!

And that's why I'll fight you with my own justice, Itsuki-sama!

Shut up and lose already, evil!

What?

Naofumi-sama, that's...

A bright, pure ki flew from within the evil ki towards Rishia-san...

Pure?

The Cardinal Weapons still have some kind of hidden power?

What just happened?

Even the bow of the Hero does not accept your justice.

The bow gave me this strength to stop you!

Bullshit!

My bow would never betray me!

That's impossible.

This isn't happening! This isn't happening!

This isn't happening!

Hengen Muso Secret Throwing Technique! Rolling Spin!

Air Strike Throw!

Second Throw!

Dritte Throw!

Tornado Throw!

My new power... that was supposed to save the world...

Class -, Kawasumi Itsuki!

My dream is to grow up and be a hero who fights for justice,

and saves lots of people!

With your power, you definitely can!

You're going to a middle school that only kids with powers can go to, right?

That's so cool!

SCHOOL ENTRY PERMIT THE INDIVIDUAL LISTED BELOW IS PERMITTED ENTRY TO THIS SCHOOL.

I'm so proud to have you as my son, Itsuki.

KAWASUMI ITSUKI

LEVEL E

This can't be happening...

I'm Level E?

Level As are so amazing.

With your power, you can do anything!

You've won at life!

No...

KAWASUMI

I refuse to accept this.

I'm not inferior to anyone!

I'm the only one who understands you...

That's right.

I still have someone who believes in me.

Itsuki-sama...

Princess Malty is the only one who...

Itsuki-sama!

Wait, Itsuki! Rishia!

I'm sure Princess Malty will understand...

that I'm on the side of justice!

I'm the only one who understands...

that you care about this world and its people more than anyone.

But... everyone else only cares about themselves.

Everyone except you, Itsuki-sama!

No matter what anyone says, you always charge ahead to save people.

You are true justice!

I...

You've suffered a lot, haven't you?

This is a gift for you, Itsuki-sama.

That's right.

I'm not wrong. I need to save the people who are wrong...

Because I'm on the side of justice...

I have to save them!

Itsuki-sama.

Witch left you a letter.

Itsuki, can you read it?

I'll read it.

It says Bitch already spent all the prize money he'd earned.

Was it fun pretending to be a hero?

You looked like you were having a great time imagining you were saving people.

Well, it was a lot of easy money for us, so thanks for that.

Oh, if you love me, defeat the Shield!

Then we'll see each other again.

Oh, and one more thing.

I left you a present.

She says she left him a present.

Have fun paying it back, she says.

Debt notes.

All stamped with Itsuki's stamp.

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

I...

Itsuki-sama!

You're a hero fighting for justice, Itsuki.

This is Naofumi-san and his party's village.

He agreed to help pay your debts.

Don't worry. I'll help, too.

Once that's done, we can go out on a journey to make the world a better place.

Itsuki-sama?

Wait!

Wait!

- Wait! - That translucent w*apon Rishia used...

That translucent w*apon Rishia used...

Even the queen didn't know what it was.

Either way, the Phoenix will revive soon,

but all four heroes are together,

and we've shared methods to make us stronger with each other.

All that's left is to make my lands better protected.

Will the Bow Hero be okay?

He used the power of the Curse series and the bow rejected him, too.

He had his own ideas about justice.

But "justice" is a complicated thing.

THE ONES WE MUST PROTECT
