Fairy Tail (2009–2019): Season 1, Episode 32 - The Spirit King - full transcript

Loke shares his unsettling story with Lucy. Refusing to let her friend fade away forever, Lucy challenges the authority of the almighty ruler of the skies himself!

Hey, everyone watching!

Whenever you watch Fairy Tail,
be sure to turn on the lights in the room

and sit away from the TV, okay?

You killed Karen... your owner?

Spirits who've killed their owners

can never return to the celestial spirit world.

I'm simply going to vanish.
Here, in front of her grave...

You can't be serious...

It happened three years ago...

So sorry!

I have a beauty salon appointment.
Could you leave for today?

Unbelievable!

She dragged men back with her again?!

How obnoxious!



Oh, you're back, Karen!

This is getting annoying...

Open, Gate of the Ram!

Aries!

"Boom"

"Timid"

"Super soft"
U-Umm, you called? Sorry...

--So soft and cute!
--Aries, my love!

"Timid" "Soft"
They're bothering me. You handle them.

"Timid" "Soft"
Oh, but, I'm...! I'm sorry...!

--All right!
--Let's have fun, Softy!

I'm, umm, not really
meant for entertaining men...

Refusin' to follow my orders, are ya?!

I'm sorry...!

--All right! It's decided! Let's hit the town, Aries!
--Let's take a drive!

"Celestial Spirit King"

"Celestial Spirit King"
Celestial Spirit King.

Unbelievable. A celestial spirit,
talking back to her owner...

What is the world coming to?

You really shouldn't be so mean
to your celestial spirits, Karen...

What? It's my property;
I can treat it however I want.

Aries is really suffering.

I heard you even used her
as a shield in a recent job

to block another wizard's attack.

I'm sorry!

Suffering? Celestial spirits don't feel such things.

They're nothing but tools.

Karen!

Celestial spirits are living creatures too!

Treat them poorly and you'll be
the one who suffers next time!

How dare you put such nonsensical
ideas into the master's head!

I-It isn't like that!
I haven't said a thing to him! I'm sorry...

Making Master Bob angry is no laughing matter!

"Timid" "Soft"
I-It isn't like that... I'm sorry...

--Insist on playing innocent, do you?!
--Wh-What are you going to do?

As punishment, you're going to
stay in the human world for seven days.

Seven days?!

Your magic won't last that long,
Mistress Karen! I'm sorry!

No, don't underestimate me.

You should be more worried about yourself.

What will seven days in
the human world do to a celestial spirit?

I can't wait to find out!

P-Please don't...! I'm sorry...!

Trying to run away?! It's no use!
I'll just keep summoning you back!

No. I forcibly switched places with her.

You...

It's time you stop this, Karen.

Leo the Lion!

That was me at the time.
Aries and I were bound to Karen by contract.

How dare you open the gate without permission!

I am a celestial spirit meant for combat.
I am sturdily built.

I can put up with your improper treatment.

But, if you insist on tormenting Aries any further...

...I will make you pay.

You're just a lousy spirit!
Who do you think you are?!

Today is better than any other to make myself clear:

I want you to terminate your
contracts with Aries and me.

Y-You what?!

Your horrible behavior is unbearable to watch.

The other celestial spirits are afraid
of their keys falling into your hands.

Shut up! That's enough!

As a celestial wizard, you are a failure!

Leave!

Close, Gate of the Lion!

Huh?

Close! Close!

Leave, Leo!

Wh-Why can't I force the gate to close?

I have no intention of leaving
until you end your contracts with us.

As long as I'm here,
you're unable to summon any other spirits.

After all, your magic is still
too weak to summon two spirits at once.

This will make things difficult
for you, wouldn't you say?

I'm afraid your plan won't go
as smoothly as you hope!

You don't have limitless magic power, either.

In ten days, my magic will run out,

and you'll be forced back
into the celestial spirit world.

No, I came here using my own magic.
Your magic is of no consequence.

I'll stay here for as long as it takes.

I'll be in the ruins to the west of town.

Come see me once you've had time to think.

The hell with you!

Come back, Leo.

You must be nearing your limit by now.

The lion is the leader of the Twelve Zodiac Gates.

I can do things the other celestial spirits can't.

I won't leave the human world
until you end your contracts with us.

This is nonsense!
You want me to give up two Zodiac Keys?!

I can earn lots and lots of money with you!

Leave...

Come back once you're ready to free us...

Why, you...

Come on... It's been a month now...

Please! I can't work with you doing this to me...!

I promise. I won't torment Aries anymore.

You promise, huh...?

Don't lie to me...
You would let us go if you truly regretted it...

Damn you! Just die already, will you?!

Once you're gone, I can summon Aries again!

It's all because you're here!

It's all because of you...! Damn it!

I've grown accustomed to the human world.

I can't fully stop my life force from being drained,

but it isn't as painful as before.

It's been three months.
I guess it's about time I forgive Karen.

Plus, I can just jump in and
help Aries if she harasses her again.

That can't be...!

She took a job beyond
her abilities without my approval.

She must've been especially desperate

after three months without work...

But... But Karen shouldn't
have been able to summon a spirit!

Yet...!

Summoning two or more spirits at once is possible

for a wizard capable of handling
enormous amounts of magic all at once.

Karen was betting on that.

But, ultimately, her body wasn't
able to endure the heavy strain...

I just... I just wanted Karen to rethink her ways...

I wanted her to realize we spirits aren't tools....

I wanted her to realize that
we have our own free will...

That we have hearts of our own...

I never... I never wanted this!

Karen...

Karen!

That is the crime I committed...

Once a person's life is lost,
it can never be recovered.

When someone dies, they're gone forever.

The only way for me to atone
is to disappear forever too...

Loke?! Hey...!

--I-I guess it's here...
--What is?!

The time for me to be no more...

What are you saying?!

Karen...

I've been unable to return to
the spirit world ever since that day...

Y-Your hands!

This is a basic principle
of the spirit world. It's a rule...

There's nothing that can be done.

Karen's never left my thoughts since that day...

I tried all sorts of things to distract myself,
but I was never able to forget.

I lived each and every day
waiting for this moment...

The moment I cease to exist
in front of Karen's grave...

And now that time has finally come...

But... in the very end I was able
to meet a wonderful celestial wizard like you...

Thank you, Lucy...

Wait! I will save you! Don't give up!

Take care of everyone in Fairy Tail for me...

--No!
--Lucy...

I refuse to accept this!

If you can just get back to the spirit world

you can recover your life force in no time!

I will send you back there!

You can't...

Rules are rules...

But... this isn't right!

You didn't kill Karen!
It was just an unfortunate accident!

Lucy...

Open, Gate of the Lion!

Let Loke back into the celestial spirit world!

Open...! Please! Open...

Lucy... It's okay... Stop...

It is not okay!

I can't just ignore a friend and let
him disappear before my very eyes!

Open, Gate of the Lion!

Lucy! You can't use that much magic all at once!

I told you! I will save you!

I will force... the celestial spirit door... open!

Stop it!

Open, Gate of the Lion! Open!

It won't open!

Spirits who've caused a contract holder's death

can't return to the spirit world!

Stop! You're starting to assimilate with me!

You'll disappear too if you don't stop now!

You're not going to die! I won't let you!

What's the point of magic if you
can't use it to protect your friends?!

Stop...!

Don't make my crime even worse!

How is this a crime?!

If that's the rule of the spirit world,
then I'm gonna change it!

Wh-What's going on...?!

No, it can't be...!

The Celestial Spirit King?!

Huh?!

What's he doing here...?!

King...? Meaning he's the most
powerful of the spirits?!

Old friend...

Under our agreement with the humans,

taking the life of a key holder is forbidden.

Although it was not by direct involvement,

you did commit this act, Leo the Lion.

Therefore, you are not allowed
to return to the celestial spirit world.

Hold on! Don't you think that's a bit unfair?!

S-Stop, Lucy!

Old friend... Human girl...

That law is immutable.

Wait, did he appear because Lucy
blurted out about changing the rules?!

The king came here himself just because of that?!

Three years! Loke has
suffered for three long years!

He did it for Aries! One of his own!

He had no choice!

Hearing my old friend's wish
pains me greatly as well...

Don't be stupid! He's not an "old friend"!

He's a friend standing in front of you right now!

Listen for a change, you old mustache man!

Mustache...?

L-Lucy...

This was an unfortunate accident!
Loke wasn't at fault!

I won't accept anything but an innocent verdict!

I... refuse to accept anything else!

That's enough, Lucy...

I don't want anyone's forgiveness...

I just want to atone for my crime!

I just want to cease to exist!

You can't!

You disappearing won't bring Karen back!

It'll only cause even more sadness!

It isn't a crime!

Caring for your own isn't a crime!

Celestial spirits! This many, all at once...!

Not even Karen could do this...!

If you cease to be, you'll only leave me, Aries,

and everyone here with even more sorrow to bear!

That... won't atone for anything!

Lucy!

All my friends who showed
themselves just now feel the same way...

Friends...?

If you're a spirit, then you
understand how Loke and Aries feel too!

Lucy!

You're being too reckless!

Are you trying to make
the same mistake Karen did?!

If you will go to such lengths to say this,

then perhaps it is the law that is wrong.

Leo, you committed this crime
for Aries, one of your brethren...

And you, old friend who tried to save Leo...

Out of consideration for that beautiful bond,

I hereby make an exception for this incident

and grant you, Leo, return passage
to the celestial spirit world.

You're not so bad after all, old mustache man!

You are exonerated.
Be grateful to the guidance of the stars.

Please wait... I...!

If you still wish to atone for what you have done,

then I order you to live
your life serving your friend.

She is that valuable of a friend to have.

Protect her with your life!

There you have it!

Lucy...

Yeah.

Thank you... Lucy...

--A celestial spirit?!
--You are?!

Yep, that's right!

Ah, so that's why everything
felt off when we switched places before!

Yep!

I had no idea at all...

But how come you're not
a cow or a horse or anything?

You know Virgo. She has a human form too.

No, she can turn into a gorilla too.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

Loke is a lion spirit.

--Lion?!
--A grown-up cat!

--That's right!
--No, it isn't!

So cool!

But are you in good enough shape to be here?

I'm not back in tip-top shape yet,
but I wanted to come say hello.

Plus, I couldn't wait to see Lucy again.

--In loooove!
--Don't talk like that!

Now then, let us discuss our future together!

Hey! Let me down!

She's so lucky.
I wish I had a celestial spirit too!

What kind?

A dragon, of course!
I could try out my Dragon Slayer magic on it!

You don't call celestial spirits
to test your strength on them!

You're right.

--They're for talking about love--
--You should go now.

You're not in full health yet, remember?

Just a minute.

Here you go.

What are these?

Tickets to a resort hotel.

You did so much for me, so...

--The beach!
--I've never stayed...

...in such an expensive hotel!

I gave one to Erza too. Go enjoy yourselves.

All of you! What are you loitering around for?!

Do you want to be left behind?!

Talk about fast!

All right! Let's go!
I'm ready to go right now!

Same here!

--You idiots! I need to pack first!
--Lucy.

The fact I committed a crime hasn't changed,

but you've given me the courage to move forward.

I'm a member of Fairy Tail,

but I'm your celestial spirit, first and foremost.

You're my owner. I'll be there
for you whenever you're in trouble.

You can rely on me to be
your knight in shining armor.

I'm not your owner. I'm your friend!

Yeah!

I'm glad to be working with you, Lucy!

I'm glad to be working with you too, Loke!

We're about to leave, Lucy.

You know, Erza. If...

If I ever caused one of us
to get hurt or lose their life,

I think I would suffer like Loke did too.

But there's nothing to worry about, is there?

If we all work together, we can
overcome any tough situation, can't we?

That's well said.

Right!

C'mon, already! Let's get going!

Aye, Sir!

We're gonna have so much fun
a day or two won't be enough!

All right. It was kind of Loke to do this.

Let's have lots of fun!

Aye, Sir!

Little did I know at the time...

...that Erza's smile would soon vanish...

Hey, Natsu! I'm gonna go out for a bit! Uppa!

Oh! You sure are excited! Where you goin'?

Aye! I'm going to heaven on earth!

What are you talking about?
Did you hit your head or something?

Come with me and you'll find out!

Oh, man. You're creeping me out...
