| Rick | “Are you really going?” |
| Oswald | “Yes. Else the Emerald City will be in danger.” |
| Rick | “Then I will go with you!” |
| Oswald | “...Again?” |
| “It’s dangerous. You must stay here.” |
| “...If you come with me, I can’t run away.” |
| Rick | “No. If it’s dangerous, then I really need you to take me with you.” |
| Oswald | “The Wizard of the West challenged me to a magical duel. If two of us go, he’ll be enraged.” |
| Rick | “Then I will go first as your apprentice.” |
| Oswald | “You?” |
| Rick | “If I can get even one blow in, it will make your battle easier, Sir Oz. I want to be useful. Please grant me your magic.” |
| Oswald | “No, but—.” |
| Rick | “Please!” |
| Oswald | “...Then I’ll grant you the magic of lightning. If you shout “thunder” and swing your arm, lightning will strike your opponent.” |
| Rick | “Thun—” |
| Oswald | “You fool! Don’t say it now.” |
| Rick | “I-I apologize! Then I’ll be off!” |
| Oswald | “I’ll use this chance to escape....” |
| “—Hey, wait.” |
| Rick | “Yes?” |
| Oswald | “Are you really going to go?” |
| Rick | “Yes!” |
| Oswald | “....” |
| “...What an idiot.” |
| “Now that that hindrance is gone, all that’s left is for me to escape in my balloon. I had a pleasant time, but I don’t want to get dragged into more trouble.” |
| “....” |
| “I wonder what happened to him.” |
| Izumi | (Oswald’s feelings for Rick overwhelm him and shake his heart; you can really see that in Chikage-san’s lines and gestures.) |
| (It was impossible for Chikage-san to perform like this early on; this is the Oswald I’d wanted to see—.) |
| Rick | “Thunder!” |
| Wizard of the West | “?” |
| Rick | “Thunder! H-huh?” |
| Wizard of the West | “What are you attempting?” |
| Rick | “Sir Oz granted me this magic. You don’t stand a chance against this spell—“Thunder!” |
| Wizard of the West | “I think you were fooled.” |
| Rick | “That can’t be!” |
| Wizard of the West | “Can he really use magic anyway?” |
| Rick | “Sir Oz is a great wizard! He helped us all! Thunder!” |
| Wizard of the West | “See? It’s useless.” |
| Rick | “It’s only because I haven’t trained enough.” |
| “Thunder!” |
| Wizard of the West | “I don’t care, but I can’t let him escape like this. I’ll get rid of you first.” |
| Rick | “Thunder!” |
| Wizard of the West | “You fool.” |
| Oswald | “You’re moving your arm the wrong way, Rick.” |
| Rick | “Sir Oz!” |
| Wizard of the West | “What...!? He’s flying?” |
| Oswald | “I came for this so-called magical duel of yours.” |
| Wizard of the West | “Go! My flying monkeys!” |
| Oswald | “——.” |
| Rick | “Watch out, Sir Oz! Thunder!” |
| Oswald | “Enough of that.” |
| Flying Monkeys | “Screech! Screech!” |
| Oswald | “?” |
| Wizard of the West | “What’s wrong? Attack him!” |
| Oswald | “Oh, I see. The blessing of the Wizard of the North. Then...” |
| “Your attacks are useless against me!” |
| “Watch me, Rick. This is how you use magic. Thunder!” |
| Wizard of the West | “!?” |
| Rick | “Rain clouds are suddenly gathering—!” |
| Wizard of the West | “Is he really going to summon lightning—!?” |
| Oswald | “...It’s just the clouds, but.” |
| Wizard of the West | “Kuh—I’ll get you one day!” |
| Rick | “You’re amazing, Sir Oz!” |
| Oswald | “Indeed.” |
| Rick | “You really are a great wizard, Sir Oz!” |
| Oswald | “Geez... what an idiot.” |
| Rick | “What’s wrong, Sir Oz?” |
| Oswald | “Let’s go home, Rick.” |
| Rick | “Yes!” |
| Izumi | (Oswald looks at Rick with a completely different expression in his eyes... You can see that he’s remembered human kindness and affection.) |
| Oswald | “Rick, I’m leaving you in charge of this trick—no, this magic—to make the wizard Oz appear.” |
| Rick | “Eh?” |
| Oswald | “I will return to my country.” |
| Rick | “Eh? Why?” |
| Oswald | “So long as the wizards of the east and west think that the Wizard of Oz lives in the Emerald City, they won’t attack it.” |
| “My job here is done.” |
| Rick | “No! Please stay here forever and become the king of this country, Sir Oz!” |
| Oswald | “...I’m sick and tired of this country. I’m going to look for something more interesting.” |
| Rick | “But...” |
| Oswald | “Do you understand? That’s why I need you to rule as Oz—.” |
| Rick | “You’re lying!” |
| Oswald | “What?” |
| Rick | “You’re lying! I know it! Why are you telling such a lie?” |
| Oswald | “Rick... Of all times to see through me.” |
| Rick | “Why, Sir Oz? Please tell me!” |
| Oswald | “...There’s something I need to do in my country. I must go.” |
| Rick | “Something you need to do....” |
| “I understand. There are people who need your help, Sir Oz. Please go.” |
| Oswald | “...Yes.” |
| Rick | “I—we will all—be awaiting your return forever, Sir Oz.” |
| Oswald | “——.” |
| “I must go now. Make sure nobody realizes that I’ve left.” |
| Rick | “—Yes.” |
| “So long, Sir Oz~!” |
| Oswald | “Didn’t I just say to make sure nobody realizes that I’ve left? Geez. You fool.” |
| “——.” |
| Izumi | ? |
| (He froze...? He didn’t forget his lines, right?) |
| (No... He must be recalling something. A happy memory... From before he got involved in crime—back when he felt fortunate...?) |
| Oswald | “....” |
| Izumi | (A happy, satisfied smile, expressing regret towards his crime, and relief at regaining his true self...) |
| Oswald | “I suppose I’m also a fool... I’ve become just like him.” |
| Izumi | (Chikage-san might be thinking of August right now.) |
| Oswald | “—Excuse me.” |
| Police | “Hm? What’s wrong?” |
| Oswald | “I’ve come to turn myself in. I’m the wanted criminal Oswald.” |
| Police | “Oswald!? You mean the man wanted for serial fraud!?” |
| Oswald | “Yes.” |
| Police | “Y-you’re under arrest!” |
| |
| Citizen A | “Sir Oz, I have a report for you. Dorothy, who defeated the Wizard of the East, has also defeated the Wizard of the West.” |
| Rick | “The Wizard of the West...” |
| Citizen A | “She wishes to speak to you—what shall we do?” |
| Rick | “Let her through.” |
| Citizen A | “Yessir!” |
| Rick | “Sir Oz, the wizards of the east and west have been defeated. The Emerald City is truly at peace now.” |
| “So please, come back soon, Sir Oz...” |
| Izumi | (The small shadow of a hot air balloon approaches from behind Rick’s praying back...) |
| |
| Audience A | “Oswald was really great in that last scene!” |
| Audience B | “I don’t really get why, but I felt like crying too...!” |
| Audience A | “Me too!” |
