"When that happens, what you have to do is take your challengers head-on and become a wall for them to overcome." "And when the time comes, you must fight with all your strength and be defeated." "Giving your challengers a battle will be another important duty of yours from now on." "Don't forget that." "All right." "Miss Layla is right." "Really even I think that there's no such thing as a world without battles." "But even now I still sort of think it would be nice if there weren't any battles on the stage at least." "Challengers, adventurers, pioneers..." "All who are called by such names are fools." "What awaits the fools who pursue the dreams no one else dreams is either scorn... or applause." "Be my dream, Sora." ""To the Amazing Promised Place"" "To the Amazing Promised Place" "To the Amazing Promised Place" "Okay Mom, Dad, I'll see you tomorrow." "Yep." "I'm looking forward to it." "Ken, are you sure it wasn't a burden on your parents to take in my whole family?" "Well, my mom's the one that offered, so it's probably okay." "Then I guess it's all right..." "So tomorrow's the opening day at last, huh?" "Although it looks like they still haven't finished construction..." "Yeah." "It is a pretty big construction project, after all." "No big deal, we're almost there." "Right." "I'm sorry." "You shouldn't apologize too lightly." "You gave us a job really worth doing." "I'm actually grateful." "We'll make this brilliant." "I'm counting on you!" "Did May and Rosetta's maneuver end up getting okayed?" "The directorial team was supposed to decide at yesterday's rehearsal, but Miss Cathy tested them again today." "I guess I'll okay it, but Rosetta, I'd like a more commanding presence from you." "You can do that, right?" "Of course I can." "Oh, good." "And Anna's clown team too?" "Yep." "So..." "We get to do it?" "Hey..." "I can't breathe... seriously..." "Yay!" "Hey..." "I can't breathe... seriously..." "That special training was really worth it, huh?" "!" "Hey..." "I can't breathe... seriously..." "Everybody got their dreams, huh?" "But aren't you going to perform anymore, Ken?" "Me?" "Yeah." "I mean, really you wanted to be a performer, right?" "So when you found a path as a clown in Anna's team," "I thought "Hooray!" "Congratulations!" but..." "That's not my dream now." "That's a dream from a long time ago." "It is?" "Oh, that's right!" "I hear our opening show is sold out." "Really?" "!" "Yep." "I was concerned since curtain is at an unusual time, but now we have one less thing to worry about." "Yuri was the one who planned the tie-in with the tour company." "Well, well." "So he has his father's sound business sense?" "It looks like he'll make a good partner for you." "Maybe I'll make my confession..." "Confession?" "I..." "Yes?" "I'm full of myself." "Huh?" "What?" "What's this about?" "Please explain." "I thought you were helping me out so much because you were entrusting your own dream to me." "Huh?" "Oh, don't get me wrong," "I do understand it's really because I'm the one most hopelessly in need of help!" "I do get it, really!" "But every time I look at it that way, it makes me feel like "Okay, I'll give this my best!"" "and it gives me strength, so I've been letting myself think that way." "Ken, it's thanks to you that I've been able to come this far." "Thank you." "You're not full of yourself." "Huh?" "But from now on, you'll become someone who shoulders lots of people's dreams, not just mine." "Yeah." "So, shall we go?" "After all, we have to get to bed early tonight." "Yep!" "A stage with no battles, eh?" "It's definitely a ridiculous dream, but I'm at the age where I want to try believing in those foolish dreams." "The only people who can become true stars are the ones who, as they come to realize their dream is foolish, believe in it even more and keep pursuing it." "That's a very difficult thing..." "That day, everybody called up their own memories as if they were being led by Sora's performance." "The memories of when they wanted everybody to smile, both themselves and others." "That's a true Kaleido Star's maneuver, one Sora arrived at on her own power." "I'm sure all the audience's hearts will become one." "Don't you think that's right?" "What I don't think is right is that you were practicing the Angel's Maneuver without even telling ME." "I'm sorry." "When the apology comes so meekly it sort of throws me off..." "You want to take my car tomorrow?" "I'm not going tomorrow." "What?" "Why not?" "I already know Sora's going to become a true Kaleido Star, and I'm not sure it's good for me, who lost, to go looking like I'm her guardian." "Even if you did lose the competition," "I think to Sora you'll always be the Layla Hamilton she admires." "Why not go watch her?" "Okay." "That was fast!" "I mean, why are you so meek today?" "Because your advice is sound." "I see, I didn't know you thought of me that way." "I'm flattered." "In that case, be that meek after we get back to Broadway too." "That I can't promise you." "I thought not..." "Anyway, I think you should watch the show tomorrow." "I have a feeling something else is going to happen." "Something?" "Yep." "Something." "Angel's Maneuver jump!" "Jump!" "Oh, Sora." "Welcome back, Sora!" "I'm back Marion, Jonathan!" "Everybody's still doing their individual practice, so there's nobody in the dorm." "Okay!" "Then I'll go at it too and..." "Okay!" "Then I'll go at it too and..." "Sora." "Sora." "Yes?" "You're going to rest." "Oh, but..." "Everybody's seen you trying your best, so they're doing their best to catch up to you as much as they can, even if it's just a little." "So you can take a rest, and believe in everyone." "Okay." "Sora, I've decided." "I'm going to take a real audition and join the Kaleido Stage!" "Really?" "!" "Jonathan says he'll try too, since he's got nothing to lose." "Amazing!" "Wait, why do you understand him?" "!" "Okay, do your best tomorrow!" "Take care..." "B-Bye-bye!" "Well, I'll be going now too." "Okay, thanks." "A stage without battles, eh?" "I heard you always personally inspect the trapezes you'll use." "I guess it's true." "What do you want?" "I thought maybe we could talk, as two people who couldn't completely become demons." "It's true, perhaps I just couldn't leave Sora alone when I saw she couldn't completely break herself apart on her own." "On a basic level, the Angel's Maneuver is something that can be performed alone." "We're just extra." "Just extra, eh?" "Those women are strong." "They can run anywhere, all by themselves." "But sometimes they want to lean on somebody, just a little." "We just need to support them during those times, that's all." "That's our role." "Just like angels, huh?" "Yep." "So I guess it would make sense that we couldn't make it as demons." "Manami, Sayaka, and Miki say they'll come too." "I see." "I wonder if Yume will really watch." "It looks like you can't sleep." "Nope." "Well, tomorrow I'll just believe in myself and give it all I've got." "Goodnight, Fool." "Goodnight." "The Angel's Maneuver, eh?" "I hear it's also called "The Fool's Maneuver."" "It says Odette fights with the part of her own heart that starts to doubt the prince's love." "So basically it's about how you have a tough time when you date a popular guy?" "Odette keeps on believing that there's an angel heart inside Odile too." "That sounds like Sora." "Pretty nice, isn't it Yume?" "She's in a good mood." "We could've done the afternoon showing." "I'm fine." "Ack, I can't read this!" "Is it going to start soon?" "It's like, a full house, even though it's so early in the morning." "They say there's supposed to be a stage event cool enough to warrant an early-morning show." "I wanted to see your Odette as well, Miss." "I'll never stand on this stage again." "Did you invite anyone, Mr. Leon?" "I sent Alain passes to the show and plane tickets, but he might have sold them to buy alcohol." "No, he wouldn't do that..." "I don't think..." "I know your old partners will come too, and get their smiles back." "Do you still believe in a stage without battles?" "I've decided to believe in it." "The Legendary Great Maneuver is something you can't do unless you believe in it absolutely." "So I'm sure the Angel's Maneuver is the same way." "By the way, I'm sorry about that." "Huh?" "About what?" "When I said Layla was a lukewarm performer, you told me to apologize, didn't you?" "Ah..." "I thought she'd retired after pulling off the Legendary Great Maneuver with you so she could keep that glory forever." "But Layla mastered the Angel's Maneuver and came back, fully prepared to lose, for your sake." "For my sake..." "If you hadn't fought Layla that day, your confidence most likely wouldn't be as firm as it is now." "You're right." "Please raise the curtain." "Let's all get the very best applause together!" "Next is Scene 5." "Odette is going to meet the prince." "The prince falls in love..." "He's got a nice expression on his face!" "The material is good, after all." "Scene 11:" "The ball." "Anna's clown team is on." "Wow." "Anna's looking good!" "It's time at last for her special training to be put to the test!" "Don't go!" "They like it..." "There's nothing there, but it looks like she's being pulled by a string!" "Come back!" "This laughter is for me!" "I finally got it, Papa, Mama..." "Congratulations, Anna." "Next it's Demon Lake." "The prince has his heart stolen by Odile!" "Odile is the demon heart." "Mysterious and bold, more lively than Odette!" "Yay!" "Big sister, you look so cool!" "Change the backdrop to the deep forest." "Odile leads the prince into the deep forest and is trapped there as well." "And Odette discovers the conflict in Odile's heart." "The fairy that leads Odile back from her mistaken path..." "I'm counting on you, Rosetta." "The very best applause, together with everyone..." "Here we go." "Eternal Illusion." "Yes." "Eternal Illusion!" "Pretty good." "Yeah." "Thanks, May." "It's finally time." "Scene 32." "The angel's flight." "Let's believe in Sora's angel." "Three minutes to go." "Please open the gate." "Sora's going to become an angel." "O Fool, go forth believing that what awaits you in the end is applause!" "How beautiful..." "That's Sora?" "It's a success." "Please lower the Angel Trapezes." "I'll show my angel heart to everyone..." "I pray that everyone who came to see this show..." "That everyone's angel hearts become one." "It's mysterious..." "I always thought of a show as an ordeal to be gotten through as quickly as possible." "But when I'm flying through the air matching Sora's movements, each moment starts to seem precious." "Every moment seems irreplaceably precious..." "I want you to like the stage a lot more too, Leon." "If I become a true star, I'm sure you'll change too." "Say, Leon, on the stage no moment is ever the same twice, right?" "There's never anything but the present." "That's why I'll live in the present with all my strength." "So that no matter what happens, I'll have no regrets." "Sophie, I finally understand your feelings." "I want to be on this stage." "I want to perform with Sora, right now." "Me too." "What is this feeling?" "Somehow I just can't stand still." "Yeah." "Sora!" "May!" "Rosetta!" "This is..." "Mute!" "This is what a true star is." "Let's go!" "Yeah." "Let's go too!" "Can such a thing be real?" "Amazing..." "Even the performers who have stormed the stage are acting in harmony, without instructions from anyone..." "Why don't you go?" "Yes!" "This is the stage Sora dreamed of." "Here, in this moment, a stage with no battles definitely exists." "I've seen your miracle, Sora." "My role is over, then." "Miss Layla!" "I've seen it through, Sora..." "I've seen it through, Sora..." "What you were aiming for, the show of a true Kaleido Star." "Sora!" "You're the best!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "You did it, Sora!" "So the dream's crossed the finish line..." "It's a little sad that it's over." "It's a little sad that it's over." "No, this is the starting line of a new dream." "No, this is the starting line of a new dream." "All right, I'm going." "All right, I'm going." "Okay." "Um, is it all right if I keep on thinking of myself as your dream?" "No." "You're not my dream anymore." "No." "You're not my dream anymore." "You're my pride." "Miss Layla..." "Okay!" "Miss, yesterday I tendered my resignation as Hamilton family maid." "yesterday I tendered my resignation as Hamilton family maid." "From now on, I'll be working to make a stage debut on Broadway." "From now on, I'll be working to make a stage debut on Broadway." "Please allow me to accompany you." "That's fine." "Come on." "That's fine." "Come on." "Yes, Miss!" "Yes, Miss!" "I-It's just my imagination, right?" "I-It's just my imagination, right?" "And so the dream is passed on to the next fool." "I hear the all the tickets for the next two months are already sold!" "Amazing, huh!" "I'm so happy!" "I wonder if I can be in the show too." "Rosetta, is something wrong?" "Oh, no, nothing..." "Oh, no, nothing..." "If you don't like shouting out the name of the maneuver, just tell her so." "What did you say?" "!" "Now, now..." "My wings are my dream and on towards the sky..."
