Episode 03
Mana's Hidden Truth Revealed
The government is continuing 
its efforts to determine
the cause of the explosion 
at Madarame Tower.
In the vicinity of the tower, at least 
42 people were fatally wounded.
Are you okay, Ren?
Yeah... It hurts a little, though.
I guess I was hurled pretty far.
I  passed out, so I don't remember much.
What about you?
I'm totally fine.
I happened to be behind some debris.
I see. I'm glad.
I'll go check on the others.
Sure.
Let me know if you need anything, okay?
Thanks! Same goes for you, Mana!
It must have been tough on you, too.
You are not human.
Mana... Anima.
Mana?
I'll go get something to drink!
For you, too, Akira.
Okay, thanks.
You're so nice!
Thanks!
Cold
I'm not like that.
Not like that. The real me isn't like that.
Walpurgis told me about my true self.
Mana, you're the child of a human 
mother and a monster father.
You have both human and monster blood.
Your father was my magic teacher.
Before he passed away, he made me promise...
that if anything were to happen, 
I would take care of you.
So Walpurgis knew this secret all along.
She knew it and pretended it was by 
chance that she was always near me.
Thank you.
Sorry I'm always just relying on you.
The Mana that Ren and the 
others know isn't the real me.
Before I met all of them, 
I was a lot more introverted.
Until recently, even I had 
forgotten the reason for that.
When I was living in America as a child,
I used my power without thinking.
Gotcha!
That's when I realized that I was 
somehow different from other people.
That something was strange about me.
But I didn't want to know 
anything about that.
So I pretended I didn't see it.
I pretended that I hadn't noticed.
I didn't want to hurt my friends.
I was afraid to let them 
find out that I was different.
To Everyone
Mana?
After that, I started to distance 
myself from my friends.
During breaks, I read books by myself.
In the classroom, I drew.
I ate my lunches alone.
I liked watching baseball.
I had trouble speaking in front of everyone.
I was too afraid to show who I was.
But somewhere inside, a part of me 
realized that wasn't the real me.
The real me, the person I 
wanted to be, was different.
The real me that I wanted to be
would greet everyone in the morning.
The real me would hit a home run.
The real me has seen a lot of the world.
It must have been fate.
I decided that I'd go to a 
different world, to Japan,
and become the real me that I wanted to be.
I heard there are people in Japan who 
can use chopsticks with both hands.
Pickled Veggies
I heard there are people in Japan who 
can use chopsticks with both hands.
Wow...
What else can you tell me?
And so I came to Japan.
The me I wanted to become...
The free me...
You all accepted me that way.
Each of you in your own way.
Thanks to that, even someone 
who was always timid like me
could act when I needed to,
and walk the path I wanted to walk.
Ren, Aoi, Minami, Akira, 
thank you for giving me courage.
Why does this sound like a goodbye?
Ren, that's... the Strike Ring you gave her.
Mana...
I await your true awakening.
If you assume your true form at the next 
lunar eclipse and sacrifice yourself,
you will be able to save humanity.
So if I sacrifice myself, 
Ren and the others will be...
So you came.
If I can save the others, that's the path 
I'll choose, even if it means I'll perish.
Because that is the real me.
A being that possesses both 
human and monster traits...
You will bring harmony to this universe, 
along with the red moon.
The World Ends...
