Sword Art Online (2012–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - Stigma of the Disqualified - full transcript

Integrity Knight Renly Synthesis Twenty-Seven, in battle for the first time, flees his position, allowing goblins from the forces of darkness to infiltrate to the tent where Kirito is.

Human Guardian Army Supply Corps

Why are the goblins this far back?

Zel, there are more than we thought!

There might be too many
for us to push back on our own!

Why isn't Renlicchi defending the
area ahead like he's supposed to?

I knew it.

That coward.

Stigma of the Disqualified

Human Guardian Army Supply Storage Tents

Get up. You have to
go back to your position.

No.

Even if I were there,
I'd only be in the way.

Renly.

You...

...seem to be broken.

Broken?

You're a failure!

A defective knight!

Renly, it seems I have no choice
but to punish you to cryostasis.

After all, despite being chosen
as master of those Double-Winged Blades,

you've never managed to achieve
the Perfect Weapon Control art with them.

As a knight,
you're lacking something crucial.

Good night, Renly.

For Her Eminence to say good night
to you... What a lucky knight you are!

I'm so jealous!

A failure.

I'm—

It doesn't matter whether I exist or not.

What about here?

Yes, this tent looks safe.

Let's hide him in the back
and guard the entrance.

It's dark, so be careful.

Is someone there?

I'm not the enemy.

I apologize for startling you.

S-Sir Knight!

Forgive our rudeness!

No, it's my fault for scaring you.

And beside, I'm not...

...an Integrity Knight anymore.

I ran away.

The unit that I was supposed to command
must be in a panic now.

I'm sure there have been some deaths, too.

And yet,
I can't bring myself to leave this place,

so how can I call myself a knight?

We haven't introduced ourselves yet.

I'm Primary Trainee Ronie Arabel
with the Supply Corps,

and this is Primary
Trainee Tiese Schtrinen.

And this is...

Elite Disciple Kirito.

Kirito?

The one who defeated the pontifex?

Sir Knight,
forgive me if I'm being forward,

but would you be so kind as to help us out?

No matter what... No matter what,
we must keep Kirito-senpai safe.

To be honest, defeating even a
single goblin is beyond our abilities.

But that's our mission right now.

To protect him, entrusted to us
by Lady Alice, at all costs.

No way! They're here already?

There's smoke!

Tiese, are the tents on fire?

No, it's just some kind of
strange smoke wafting in.

No, wait.

There are a lot of people
coming out of the smoke!

A goblin?

I found some white Ium girls.

What a haul for me.

Tiese...

I'm going to win today...

Renly!

Me, too!

I have you now!

Renly...

S-Stay back! Or else!

- You look tasty.
- If you come any closer...

I'll slash you!

Are you...

Are you trying to save them?

Even though you can't stand or draw your
sword, not to mention you can't even speak!

And yet... I'm...

Renly...

I want you to become a great knight.

Do it for me.

Sir Knight!

Thank you... very much! You saved us!

I want you two to stay
here and protect Kirito.

- R-Right!
- R-Right!

My name is Renly!

Integrity Knight Renly
Synthesis Twenty-Seven!

If it's my head you want,
be ready to lay down your lives for it!

It's the captain's head!

I can do this.

If I can hold out just a little longer,

reinforcements should arrive from the front
lines, where the smokescreen's thinned out.

Are you the captain?

Yeah. I'm the chief of the
mountain goblins, Kosogi.

You've killed quite a number of them,
haven't you?

Who would've thought there'd
be an Integrity Knight this far back?

Really, my guess was wrong!

This is where your war ends!

The look on your face says,
"But you're just a goblin!" boy.

But this is what I have to say about it.

"You call yourself an esteemed knight?"

A single Integrity Knight is a match
for a thousand. That's what I was told.

But it looks like that's
not the case for you, huh?

That's why you've been hiding
all the way back here.

Am I right?

You seem to be broken.

Am I a failure, after all?

Even if I am...

Yeah, that's right. As a knight,
I'm a failure.

Even so, don't get the wrong idea.

I'm the one who's defective, not these!

Take flight... Double Wings!

You can try as many times as you like,
but it's futile!

Release...

Recollection!

So beautiful.

I said it's futile!

Renlicchi?

Someone's a bit more knightly now.

I guess we didn't have to come to your
rescue. We wanted to take credit for that...

But we did cut off a lot
more heads than you.

Sir Knight, please give your orders.

We have to make sure
that Tiese, Ronie and Kirito are safe.

You don't have to worry about that.

We just had those three
join the Supply Corps.

What about the infiltrating enemies?

We wiped them all out.

Then I'll be rejoining my unit.
You two should do the same.

Yes, sir.

Understood.

Thank you.

Dark Territory Army Second Group

Lord Sigurosig, Lord Shibori, and
Lord Kosogi have all been killed in battle.

Damn, so useless!

Just a bunch of dim-witted demi-humans,
after all!

Were you able to pinpoint
the Integrity Knights' position?

We've already located
the three we spotted on the front lines.

We found two more in the rear, but
it'll take some time to get a fix on them.

Still only five?

Or are there only a
few of them to start with?

Still, whatever it takes,
we must slaughter those five without fail.

Okay, release the minions!
My command is...

"Fly for 700 mels,

descend to the ground,

and then, unlimited annihilation."

The demi-human unit on the front lines would
get caught up in the fray at that distance.

I don't care.

Yes, ma'am. How many do you wish?

Currently, we have all 800
of the hatched minions on site.

Let's see...

Dark Territory Army Dark Knights Brigade

All 800 of them.

They're here.

Human Guardian Army
Second Unit, Center

Eastern Gate Ruins
The skies above

Time-Splitting Sword!

Air Slash!

Human Guardian Army
The skies above

That was the Time-Splitting Sword
under the Perfect Weapon Control art.

Uncle made his move, I see.

How can that be?

No one told me that
the enemy had a mage unit of that power!

I-I'm not sure... what happened.

The enemy's flying dragons
haven't appeared yet, correct?

Correct.

As of now, not a single dragon has been
sighted in the skies above the battlefield.

Which means...

That must be it.

That was the Integrity Knights' secret
weapon, Perfect Weapon Control art.

Still...

who knew it was this...

But using their weapons in that manner
should consume a massive amount of life.

They couldn't keep up a barrage...

Chancellor, we're pinpointed the position
of the two Integrity Knights in the rear.

We now have all five in our sights.

Good.

I am calm.

Now is the time to seize my first glory.

Ogre archers brigade and dark
mages brigade! All hands, advance!

Once you've entered the ravine, begin the
wide-range incineration projectiles incantation!

Eastern Gate Ruins Dark Territory Side Rear

Mage unit, prepare to recite the wide-range
incineration projectiles incantation!

Spotters, begin the incantation for homing in
on the enemy Integrity Knights' coordinates!

Ogre unit, prepare to fire your bows!

Why?

Why is it that not only the humans of the Human
Empire, but also the souls of the demi-humans,

are generating a sacred power
that's so warm and pure?

If the people of the Human Empire and the monsters of
the land of darkness have essentially the same souls...

If the only difference is whether you were born
on one side of the mountains or the other...

Then why are they... are we fighting?

Kirito... as long as you're safe...

No, this is my duty.

My responsibility as the one
who turned her sword on the pontifex,

and undermined the authority
of the Axiom Church.

They're here!

On my own, I'm no match for the capacity of
thousands of dark mages to maintain elements.

Not only that, but merely converting sacred
power into Thermal or Cryogenic Elements

wouldn't be a potent enough sacred art to
deplete the spatial resources in the ravine.

But...

If I were to trap Luminous Elements inside
a mirror and reflect them infinitely...

System Call! Generate Thermal Element!

System Call! Generate Thermal Element!

We're unable to generate
any Thermal Elements!

At this rate, it will be impossible to
activate wide-range incineration projectiles!

Why aren't the spells activating?

U-Unit Captain... could it be that all of
the spatial dark power has been depleted?

That's not possible!
Don't hear all those screams?

Can't you tell how many humans
and demi-humans have perished!

So where did all of
those lives disappear to?

The burden of the sin of taking
countless lives for the sake of one,

I shall carry it on my shoulders.

Bloom, my flowers!

Burst Element.

Next time: Blood and Life.
