Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 23 - Annihilation - full transcript

Arshes and Gara stand up to Abigail but are in no condition to fight. Abigail preys on Dark Schneider's ultimate weakness.

What's he doing?

Listen up,
you defective reject.

I'm gonna tell you what happens next.

I, the almighty Dark Schneider, only care
about defeating you and nothing else.

As for "good" and "evil"?

Who gives a crap?
I'm talking about a fight between two men!

In any case, time for you to die!

Come forth!

Abigail Collider!

Exodus!

Explode in flame and incinerate all!



Impressive!

You can cast any magic spell you want,
but Omega's armor will block them all!

You're right. The parts covered
by the armor have perfect defense,

but wait.

Did you know the parts not covered
were left completely defenseless?

No! He's crazy!

Schneider, you're insane!

No!

Darsh, please, no!

Dark Schneider.

It can't be.

Thank you, spirits.

Are you... Are you crying, Dark Schneider?

Yoko said
I could take her virginity.



But it's gone!

My manhood's gone!

You disgusting pig!

I wish you and your dick
would have died along with Abigail!

I'm sorry!

What? Abigail?

You're really not dead yet?

That monster just won't die.

That's impossible.

Is this a nightmare?

No.

If I don't get free,
they'll all end up dying because of me.

Yoko!

I just don't understand.

How could this possibly have happened?

I never thought I'd encounter someone

who could defeat The Demon Mail,
the Devil Mace, and the Satan Ring

once they have combined together
as the Super Demonic Formation.

This isn't how I planned it.

You are a formidable
and dangerous opponent, Dark Schneider.

I will admit it's possible
that I have underestimated you.

Hey, Abigail!

Just give up!
You've got no chance of winning!

Why keep resisting?
You may as well just surrender!

Darsh isn't able to fight anymore,
that's true,

but if you try taking on
two of the Four Divine Kings at once,

you'll die for sure!

Hmm.

You say that like it should concern me,

but the only two people
who really know what's going on

are me and Dark Schneider.

What?

Oh, come on, Nei.

Do you think I didn't notice
that during our battle just now

I broke a few of your ribs?

Not to mention, it's obvious
you've used up almost all of your magic.

And Gara.

During your battle against Lich,

you injured ligaments
in both of your arms.

And, judging by your posture, it looks
like you've ruptured several organs.

You're trying to act tough,

but you can barely stay on your feet,
let alone fight.

And Dark Schneider, or what's left of you,

your biggest weakness
is now in my possession.

The Great Priest's daughter,
Tia Noto Yoko.

The girl that you
and your host, Lucien Renlen,

are both passionately in love with.

You're gonna pay!

Tool!

Darsh!

Don't you dare make a move!

Unless this pretty girl's life
isn't important to you anymore.

Dammit! You're despicable!

Thank you.

That's the best compliment
I could ever receive.

What the hell are these?

You guys, be careful!

If you two want to sit and watch,
I'll let you live a while longer.

Oh! Pretty girl, do you hear?

Those two sound so beautiful.

You evil monster!

Why are you doing this to innocent people?

Just stop it right now!

No one deserves to be treated like this.

Don't you feel bad
about the horrible things you do?

Not in the least, pretty one.

The cries of desperation
from a foolish human

will be a memory you never forget.

Take a good look.

Witness the greatest tribute of all
to our most powerful god,

the God of Destruction,

the supreme being, Anthrasax.

Lucien!

Don't worry about me!

You have to defeat him,
no matter the cost!

What are you doing?

Why are you waiting?
You're a legendary wizard!

Abigail is worn out!

He won't have the strength he usually has.

This is our chance!
We have to kill him now!

This world isn't perfect,

but all the villagers and animals here
are just trying to live their lives!

The ministers and soldiers
who fought to keep us safe,

now we have to fight to save them!

We can't let them resurrect
the God of Destruction.

He'll destroy everything!

Please, Lucien!

Yoko...

Oh my.

It seems that the pretty girl
is the one who understands it the best.

The old you would have attacked me
without giving it a second thought.

However, now you suffer
from a weakness we call "being human."

So, Dark Schneider,

what is the human in you going to do,

give up and hobble home?

No way.

I know Dark Schneider,
and he would never abandon her now.

Darsh...

Great Priest, please.

I can't do it.

I cannot trade my daughter's life
for the fate of the world.

It can't be helped.

Don't worry about me, Lucien!
You have to fight!

Just do it!

You have made this too easy.

Tool!

No!

Dark Schneider!

Lucien!

Dark Schneider!

Come on, you idiot!

What are you doing just lying there?
Get up and fight already!

Where are your priorities?

The fate of the whole world
versus the life of a single girl?

What the hell are you thinking?

I...

I will choose...

I'll choose her instead.

Instead of having
the whole world,

I'd rather have her.

Yoko.

I... Lucien...

"Love." What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing.

I tell you,
love is such a useless emotion.

And such a destructive one
if you let it get a hold of you.

Dark Schneider, you're
a piece of useless flesh,

something to use for target practice.

You're no legendary wizard anymore.

You're just a hollow has-been.

Go on. Tremble
as imminent death approaches.

Let us all witness your pain
as you scream.

Let us hear your death cry
to the God of Destruction!

Lucien...

Tool!

Wait. Is that...?

Ritual Spider?

You're wrong.

It's because of love.

Love is why people
can become infinitely strong!

What? It's you two.

Kai Harn and Sean Ari!

Empress Nei, I apologize
for being so late.

Sean Ari, what are you doing here?

Only one reason,

I came here to protect you,
Empress.

Right. The Three Sorcerer Generals
will keep you safe.

Take this!

Yogeki Hyakuretsuzan!

It seems the tide has turned, Abigail.

You have used up
almost all of your remaining magic

controlling the three demonic treasures.

Will you stop fighting now?

What? What's so damn funny?

Again, you've underestimated my abilities.

You're right. I have used up
most of my magic and my physical strength,

but those are merely temporary.

However,
the Tentacle Breastplate I'm wearing

has tissue cells
from the God of Destruction Anthrasax

safely embedded inside it.

The... the God of Destruction?

You have some of his tissue cells?

Those cells from the God of Destruction

are charging me
with an unlimited supply of energy.

And if I apply that energy,

I'll be unstoppable
because I can do things like this.

Huh? No.

Are those really the ghost knights?

What are they? There's so many of them!

And they're all coming right this way!

Could this be the might
of the God of Destruction?

Now go, my lovely knights of hell,
and kill every last one of them.

Extinguish all life in the castle
and in the entire country.

Turn them all into offerings
for the God of Destruction, Anthrasax!

Dammit, Abigail!

You freaking douche-canoe!

I'm gonna freaking kill you!

Now go forth.
March on, my knights of hell.

Trample over anything
that gets in your way.

However,

you must not touch the princess.

Sheila Tuel Meta-llicana is mine.

She's part of the plan.

We must break the seal
that resides inside her.

It's needed to awaken
the God of Destruction, Anthrasax.

Sean, will you take care of Darsh?

Yes. You can count on me.

Well, then it looks like it's time
to go rattle a few bones.

It doesn't matter how powerful he is,

and even if my magic completely runs out,

I'm not going to let him
lay a hand on Darsh!

Secret Hariken Sword Style!

Dragon Blast Demon Slash!

What?

Where has she been hiding all this time?

Gara, please get out of my way.

Uh-huh.

Everyone, back!

Secret Haouken Thunder Claw Strike!

Well, maybe you do have
a little power to fall back on.

But how long is it going to last?

There's just so many of them.

One more. True Majinken!

Shatter to pieces!

Dio!

They're all amazing.

Sean! Lucien!

Talisman Magic!

Ritual Spider,
devour their corpses!

There's way too many of them.

- Kai, behind you!
- There's no time!

Good thing we made it in time.

King's soldiers, we must come
to their aid!

We shall protect Meta-llicana
with our lives!

We're going to join them too!

Hmm?

Master Gara!

All right. Let's go!

Master Gara!
Don't overexert yourself...

Hands off me!
Now's the time I've gotta give it my all!

Fight, men! Fight to win!

Yes, sir!

Let's go, Murasame!

Take this!

Keiun Kininken!

Oh!

Our knights and Gara's ninja army
are fighting together!

At this rate, I think we can win!

Keep fighting! We can beat those ghosts!

Go! Hold steady, men!

This isn't going
to bring you a victory.

Even if you summon more troops,

it will only bring you more stress
and loss of life.

So, in that case...

Super Ghost Knight Composite Form,

authorize Program Drive.

What's he doing?

Please, someone, tell me,
what is that thing?

We're doomed!

Meta-llicana is doomed!

What do you think?

How do you like
this sinister figure I've created

by combining the skeletons
of fallen ghost knights?

Now I'm much more powerful
and capable than before.

You just made
the target larger,

so it's easier to hit.

True Majinken!

Huh?

Pact of Keiss

upon the altar,
blood of spirits, do not falter.

I call upon you to rain down lightning!

Take this!

Empress Nei!

Tesla!

Nei, keep going! I think it's working!

Oh, no! Nei, are you all right?

Well, she's not so strong, after all.

Her magic has run out.

It's time now for our counterattack.

How about this?

Magic Bullet Machine-Gun Strafe!

I don't believe this is happening.

Where is Dark Schneider
and all of the people who are fighting?

No!

Are you all right?

Oh no, Kai! You protected me...

- Hey.
- Huh?

Are you okay?

Gara, do you realize
you're missing an arm?

Really?

No, it'll grow back.

I think I broke my leg.

Please, no.

Dark Schneider,
you can't just die!

I... I can't hear a heartbeat.

No! Dark Schneider,
you've got to wake up!

Wake up! Dark Schneider, wake up!

Wake up.

Open your eyes.

Wake up, Dark Schneider.

Hmm?

Lucien Renlen, it's you.

Dark Schneider,

it's not yet time for your life to end.

First, you must protect Meta-llicana.

You must not let them break the seal
that lies asleep within the princess.

And you must not let them awaken
the God of Destruction.

Protect your friends,

who have been wounded
and unsuccessful in battle.

You and I together must protect them all,

both the people we love

and the entire world.

What say you, Dark Schneider?

When did you ever become
such a whiny motormouth?

Who cares about the world?

And who cares about love?

That's pathetic.

I'm gonna tell you something
you need to remember.

The world is already mine.

And all the beautiful women
in that world already belong to me.

Abigail thought he could make me look
like a fool,

the darling, handsome hero
that was all talk and no bite.

But I'm gonna kill him.

Let's do this!

Did you really think that getting one
of your ugly friends to help

was gonna make a difference?

Huh? Dark Schneider, he's... He's alive?

Hey, Abigail!

He really is alive.

Darsh, you've come back.

Listen.

Lucien...

This is the last time
I'll need to tell ya.

I'm gonna kill you!
