002 | The Invincible!
Karol: We're invincible! We're strong, unbeatable, unwavering ... We are Brave Vesperia!
Raven: Ya let yer guard down any more, ya'll trip over it!
Karol: C-come on! I was in such a good mood, too ...
Rita: You drop your guard more than any of us, old man ...
Judith: Oh? Isn't that just acting?
Raven: Oh my dear Judith, how very perceptive. I guess it takes an adult! Things like this just whizz right over these young'uns heads, ya see.
Repede: *Woof woof!*
Yuri: You ever notice how the old man's ears wiggle when he's lying?
Karol: Oh, look! Raven's ears are wiggling!
Raven: I never heard anythin' more ridiculous in my life. Ya never met anyone as calm and careful as ol' Raven!
Karol: Look at those ears go ...
Estelle: A-anyway, the important thing is to proceed with caution, right?
003 | The Strongest Guild
Raven: Enemies run an' hide when they hear our footsteps!
Karol: I can hear them now, "Here comes the invincible army, Brave Vesperia!" (musical note)
Yuri: I don't care how many enemies we've beaten, you guys are just too full of yourselves!
Judith: But I don't think any enemy could stand up to us at this point!
Raven: See, even cute li'l Judith says so! ♥
Estelle: But doesn't this make you a little uneasy? Getting this strong ...
Karol: What do you mean?
Estelle: What if everyone is afraid of us, or no ones wants to be anywhere near us ...?
Rita: Or maybe they'll capture us, and put us in a cage for everyone to see!
Karol: I-I see ... I hadn't thought about that ...
Yuri: Come on, that would never happen!
Raven: Hey, a life of luxury in a cage, people attendin' ta my every need! Doesn't sound bad ta me!
Yuri: ... No matter how strong they get, some people never change ...
Judith: ... Heh heh ... You're one to talk, Yuri.
005 | The Meaning of Monsters
Karol: We sure have fought a lot of monsters.
Estelle: Yes, I thought by now they might be more scarce, but ...
Judith: Heh heh ... That sounds like something you'd think, Estelle.
Yuri: If we could wipe out all the monsters ourselves, we wouldn't need anything like barriers anymore.
Karol: But why are there monsters, anyway ...?
Rita: So that people can defeat them, of course!
Judith: I think that's a little extreme ...
Rita: Well that's the only thing they're good for.
Estelle: I wonder ... It seems there would be some good reason why they exist ...
Raven: There's no use thinkin' too hard about it. Get started on that train of thought, and you'll soon be askin' yerself why humans exist.
Estelle: Yes ... That's a good question, too ...
Yuri: There you go. Making things more complicated old man.
Raven: I was tryin' ta get ya ta stop thinkin' about these things, not think about 'em more ...
008 | The Flames of Battle
Judith: Why'd you run away, Yuri?
Yuri: The way that fight was going, we would've been eaten in no time!
Repede: *Woof!*
Judith: I'll bet we could've ripped out way out from inside its stomach.
Rita: This woman's crazy ...
Yuri: I dunno. I think Judith could pull it off. And that scares me.
Repede: *... Whine*
Estelle: Did you really want to fight that monster so badly, Judith?
Judith: It's not that I wanted to fight it ... I just don't like leaving things half done.
Yuri: This was a strategic retreat. Come on. It would've been bad if we'd actually been eaten.
Judith: Yeah ... But we should come back here again.
Yuri: Yeah, if we feel like it.
010 | Karol's Sidekick
Karol: ... Good work ... Yeah ... Get some rest, you did well ...
Estelle: Who are you talking to, Karol?
Karol: Waaah ...!
Estelle: Aaaah ...!! ... D-don't startle me like that ...
Karol: I-I'm sorry. Did you hear that just now ...?
Judith: Yeah, we heard it.
Rita: You talk to your sword?!
Karol: It cuts better when I do that. Actually, we just won this battle because I gave my sword lots of encouragement before.
Estelle: Really ...?
Rita: ... Whatever floats your boat.
Judith: Well that was unexpected.
Rita: What?
Judith: Nothing ... Thank you for all the work you do. We can't wait to see how well you preform next time!
Rita: It must be tough having such an unreliable owner! You're the only one we can count on.
Estelle: Umm, err ... Good luck next time ...
Karol: Wow, thanks, guys! I'll bet my attack power will be double in the next battle!
Rita: Don't get carried away!
011 | Enjoying Victory
Karol: With that, we've beaten all the world's Giganto Monsters!
Raven: I was a little spooked at first, but ... we did it.
Yuri: We probably couldn't have done it if they gathered together like normal monsters.
Rita: Maybe they were territorial? ... That could have helped us beat them.
Judith: And we got a lot of valuable materials too, since they were a lot stronger than normal monsters.
Karol: Yeah. It was a lot of hard work, but it was worth it!
Estelle: And defeating all the Giganto Monsters will help Brave Vesperia's reputation, as well.
Rita: How? It's a few monsters in parts of the world people have only heard stories about.
Raven: Yeah, these guys aren't the kind ya run across unless ya set out to.
Yuri: Well, what's wrong with just being happy about it?
Estelle: You don't seem too happy, Yuri.
Yuri: Hmm? Yeah ... I mean, I feel a sense of accomplishment, but also kind of empty ...
Judith: Me too ... Every time I beat a really tough enemy, I feel a little lonely inside ...
Karol: ... I'm pretty sure that's just the two of you ...
Rita: These fighting addicts, I swear ...
016 | Strain on the Heart
Raven: Spaaaaark! Did ya see my amazin' performance out there?!
Judith: Yeah, you were great. But are you okay?
Raven: Huh?
Judith: I mean, doesn't it strain your heart when you do an arte like that?
Raven: Mmmm, aw, I'll be fine.
Judith: You sure? Well, go easy on yourself.
Raven: I wonder if my heart really can take it ...
017 | Let's Go All Out
Yuri: I didn't know you could fight like that.
Judith: Yeah, neither did I, actually. That was my first time.
Yuri: Really? You sure put on a good show.
Repede: *Woof!*
Judith: Heh. I thought it might be better to go all out, you know?
Ba'ul: *Howl*
Judith: Ba'ul agrees.
Yuri: Hah hah, I'm sure he does. We're counting on you, Judith.
Judith: And I'm counting on you.
019 | Just Use Both
Yuri: .....
Karol: What's up, Yuri? Is something wrong with your weapon?
Yuri: No, I was just thinking about how different axes and swords feel to use ...
Repede: *Whine?*
Estelle: Ah, you use both swords and axes, don't you.
Yuri: Yeah, but my artes change depending on which I use. It's not a problem or anything, but ...
Karol: Hmmm ... Well, I think you look cooler when you're using axes, Yuri. It makes you look stronger, too.
Repede: *Woof!*
Estelle: Really? I prefer Yuri when he's using swords, myself.
Judith: You should just use one in each hand.
Yuri: Give me a break ...
025 | An Old Man's Dream
Raven: .....
Yuri: ... What's the matter, old man? You won.
Raven: Th-this is a dream. I mean, conquering the coliseum after all these years ...
Judith: It was your dream to win this tournament?
Raven: Guild members across the world all hope ta achieve this once in their lives.
Yuri: Then your dream's come true! That's great!
Raven: No, this can't be real. This is a dream, I know it.
Yuri: If it's a dream, then you shouldn't be able to feel pain, right?
Judith: Let's test it out!
[Judith's skit icon punches Raven's]
Raven: Gaaah ...!
Yuri: Whoa ... If the old man wasn't dreaming before, he certainly is now.
026 | A Maiden's Concern
Judith: That's all there is?
Yuri: Not enough violence for you, huh?
Judith: Oh? Do you really think I'm that violent? That hurts, Yuri.
Rita: If you're trying to make us think you're an innocent young maiden, you're not fooling anyone.
Yuri: ...Innocent young maidens keep their pretty little selves out of coliseum tournaments.
Judith: Innocent young maidens also don't win tournaments full of powerful opponents.
Yuri: Hah hah hah, that's right...
Judith: *Sigh*
Rita: Don't tell me you just got yourself down.
Raven: Ah, the melancholic sigh of an innocent young maiden... How picturesque!
Judith: Oh?
Raven: What, not violent enough for ya?
Judith: *Sigh*
031 | No Mercy!
Judith: That last battle went by in the blink of an eye. You guys are merciless!
Rita: Hit before the enemy has a chance to. The only certain victory is a preemptive one.
Karol: We can't show our enemies any mercy!
Raven: If we take it too easy, then we're just playin' with 'em. Makes me feel sorta bad fer 'em, ya know?
Judith: But still, I think a little bit of mercy would have been okay, just to be fair.
Raven: You're prolly the most cold-blooded, merciless killer of us all, Judith darlin'.
Judith: Oh? You really think that?!
Yuri: Looks like she doesn't even realize it.
Rita: I think she's just pretending not to.
032 | Items? Who Needs Items?
Karol: H-hey, hold on a sec!
Yuri: What is it? Is something the matter?
Karol: Help me organize these items, would you?
Estelle: Since when did we have so many of those?
Judith: We haven't been using them. They add up.
Yuri: If we can get by without using them, so much the better, right?
Estelle: Is that how it works ...?
Judith: You don't want to get into the habit of wasting items when you don't need to, right?
Estelle: Ummm ... I'm simply not very familiar with using items ...
Karol: Well, it doesn't matter what you pick, just use some items ... They're going to waste!
Estelle: H-he's right, Yuri. Let's use our items.
Yuri: All right, if we need to.
Karol: Or at least help me sort them out!
033 | Exquisite Battles
Karol: This is amazing! We've been through so many battles without a scratch!
Raven: Yeah! We are soooo tough!
Estelle: Yes, it's not fun at all to get hurt, even if we can heal wounds.
Judith: Though I have to say, it's unusually exhilarating to see enemies in pain.
Rita: You're ... scary ...
Yuri: Battle scars are the true mark of a man. What's the point of a battle if you don't get hurt?
Judith: Oh? You like getting hurt?
Yuri: That's not what I'm saying ...
Rita: I don't get you at all.
Raven: I get the feelin' Rita like dolin' out pain more than she likes receivin' it! ♥
Rita: I do.
Raven: Yer pretty scary, yerself ...
036 | I Want a Shower?
Judith: Oh, what to do...
Karol: ...What do you mean?
Judith: I'll die if I can't take a shower once a day... And in a dry old desert like this...
Karol: R-really?! Rita, you have to do something!
Rita: Humph. Idiot... She'll be fine. It's not like she's a flower. Going without a shower won't kill you. It's been 10 days since I last showered, actually.
Judith: It's been that long...? I'd be on my deathbed if I were you...
Karol: I've got it! Rita's not a flower! She's a prickly cactus!
Rita: ...Die!
Karol: Gaaah!
042 | Touchy Subject
Raven: Ya think we might cut down on the battles a bit? This old man can't take it fer much longer!
Karol: Really? We haven't been fighting any more than usual ...
Raven: Yeah, but keepin' up with your youthful pace is killin' me!
Yuri: Perhaps we should go at the pace of someone older and slower?
Raven: Who're ya callin' older an' slower?
Judith: Don't worry, you're still young and full of life.
Raven: Ah yes, I'm glad you understand me at least, Judith honey ... ♥
Karol: He was the one who called himself an old man ...
Yuri: Cut him some slack, Karol. People his age get sensitive about these things.
043 | A Weirdo among Weirdoes
Estelle: Your spear fighting is fluid and your footwork is amazing! I love watching you fight, Judith.
Judith: Oh, it's my pleasure!
Yuri: Aren't all Krityans more of the nerdy, scholarly type? More indoors than outdoors people?
Estelle: Yuri's anti-book comments aside, is it true that the Kritya don't fight in battles?
Judith: It seems most of us don't like fighting very much.
Estelle: So you're an exception?
Yuri: A weirdo among weirdos, then.
Judith: How strange. I've always thought it was normal to fight someone who was threatening you.
Yuri: Yeah, true.
Estelle: Really? Is that normal?
Yuri: Sure, it's normal.
Judith: Totally normal.
Estelle: I-I see ...
045 | Thinking Too Hard?
Estelle: You know, at first I wasn't comfortable with fighting, but recently I've gotten quite used to it.
Yuri: Oh yeah? Well, you have been fighting a lot, huh?
Judith: It looks like you're still wasting energy with some unnecessary movements, though.
Estelle: I always try hard to think of what I should do next, but somehow I just can't get things right ...
Yuri: Maybe you're thinking too hard?
Judith: If you fought more on a gut level, your body might respond more fluidly.
Estelle: On a gut level ... I see! So I just need to follow my instincts!
Yuri: ... You think maybe she misunderstood what we were saying?
Judith: Maybe, but I think she'll figure things out.
046 | When You Put Your Mind to It
Karol: Whew ...
Raven: What? Tired already? What a poor excuse fer a warrior!
Karol: T-tired?! No way, not me!
Judith: It wouldn't be strange if you were, Karol. You've come the farthest out of all of us.
Karol: Th-the farthest out of all of us ... Heh, maybe ...
Raven: You're young! Young people hafta work hard. It's nothing to be getting all worked up over.
Karol: Urgh ...
Judith: Karol may be energetic, but he's still a child. He doesn't have as much strength as the rest of us.
Karol: I-I'm fine! I can work just as hard as you two do!
Raven: Exactly, ya can't be usin' yer age ta get out of doin' yer part for the team!
Karol: I-I know that!
Judith: Karol, you're really good when you put your mind to it!
Karol: .....
Raven: Hey, Karol ... You weren't just fishin' fer a compliment from Judith, were ya?
047 | Talking in Your Sleep
Judith: Rita, last night you were saying the strangest things in your sleep ...
Karol: What was it? C'mon, tell me!
Rita: H-hey, don't go telling weird stories about me ...
Judith: You were chanting magic spells.
Karol: ... So what? That's not scandalous or anything!
Rita: Shut up! What were you expecting, anyway?!
Karol: Rita, I think all this fighting we've been doing is getting to you.
Judith: Rita, you were so cute, saying spells in your sleep.
Rita: Wh-what are you talking about?
Judith: But I have to say, I was pretty surprised when the spell actually worked.
Karol: S-seriously?
Judith: You see? Rita, you should really get a little more rest.
Rita: ... How much of that was true, and how much of it was a total lie?
Judith: Oh I've never been very good at lies.
049 | Beautiful Juggernaut
Karol: Judith, you always go right for the enemies, don't you?
Estelle: Yes, you never hesitate at all!
Repede: *WOOF!*
Judith: *Giggle*
Yuri: You're a juggernaut.
Karol: Huh? What does that mean, Yuri?
Yuri: It means she charges like a boar!
Estelle: A juggernaut means something that has so much inertia that it can't be stopped or redirected.
Karol: Huh... Hey, Judith's gone!
Repede: *Woof!*
Judith: Sorry, I'm back now.
Estelle: Where did you go, Judith?
Judith: Oh, I thought I saw something. Seems like it wasn't a monster after all.
Yuri: That instinct of yours to attack anything that moves reminds me of a wolf...
052 | Someone Veeeery Important ...
Estelle: I'm just a bother for everyone. I fought with Yuri when we started out, but recently ...
Raven: Yuri says that he doesn't want ya ta get hurt.
Judith: You must be very important to him. I'm jealous.
Estelle: Huh? Y-you mean...
Raven: Estelle, what do ya think of Yuri, anyway?
Judith: Oh, come on, it's obvious...
Estelle: P-please, stop...! You have the wrong idea...
Rita: What are you two adults trying to convince Estelle of this time?
Raven: Oh, does our genius mage want in on this, too?
Rita: Yuri's just been keeping her out of battle because Flynn asked him to take care of her, right?
Estelle: Th-that's right. That's what it is! There's nothing else to it. Nothing at all...
Judith: Poor Estelle...
Raven: Oh! It's absolutely heartbreaking!
Estelle: I'm telling you, you have it all wrong!
056 | Come On! Say It!
Judith: *Sigh* ...
Karol: Hey, Yuri, something's weird about Judith.
Yuri: Judy's always weird.
Judith: You're terrible... Can't you see how stressed I am?
Karol: What's the matter? Did something happen?
Judith: I'm just... I'm just not helpful at all, am I...?
Karol: That's not true! Why would you say that?
Judith: No, you don't have to pretend. I'm too weak, I know it.
Karol: You...weak?! Trust me, nobody thinks that at all!
Judith: No, it's all right. Don't try to make me feel better. It's easier for me this way, anyway.
Yuri: ...You're bored, aren't you? Not being able to fight...?
Judith: Oh...
Karol: ...Is that what you're worried about?
Judith: No, it's okay. I can handle the boredom... Besides, I have Ba'ul to talk to.
Yuri: *Sigh*
