Previous: Chapter 13 (Crimson Flower) | Next: Chapter 15 (Crimson Flower)

Opening 1

  • 同盟軍を破り、ミルディン大橋を制圧した帝
    国軍は、盟主クロードの本拠デアドラを制圧
    すべく準備を進めていた。
  • The Imperial Army, who defeated the Alliance Army and gained total control of the Great Bridge of Myriddin, make preparations to advance on Alliance Leader Claude’s stronghold of Derdriu.
  • Having crushed the Alliance’s army and captured the Great Bridge of Myrddin, the Imperial army prepares to attack Derdriu–the Alliance’s base of operations.

Event: 水上都市 (The Capital on the Water)

  • エーデルガルト: 師せんせいはクロードのこと、覚えているかしら。
    どんな印象だった？
  • > 「策士」
    エーデルガルト: そうね。
    その策士ぶりは、今でも健在よ。
  • 彼は、渾身の策でレスター諸侯同盟領を
    帝国軍から守ってきたの。
  • > 「悪ガキ」
    エーデルガルト: 確かにね。一見、滅茶苦茶なことをしながら
    無理を通してしまう。今も、そう。
  • 悪知恵としか思えないやり方で、
    彼はレスター諸侯同盟を守ってきたのよ。
  • > 「王の器」
    エーデルガルト: そんな印象、感じたこともなかったわ。
    でも、貴方の目が確かだったのね。
  • 彼は盟主となって、レスター諸侯同盟領の
    すべてを守ってきたのだから。
  • > 「どんな方法で？」
    エーデルガルト: 同盟領は、当初から新帝国派と反帝国派で
    真っ二つに意見が割れていたの。
  • けれど、その裏でクロードは全諸侯を
    取り持って、まとめ上げていった。
  • ２つの派閥の勢力を均等にした上で、
    互いに被害が増えないよう示し合わせ……
  • 小競り合いを終始演じることで、
    帝国の介入を最小限に留めてきたのよ。
  • ヒューベルト: くくく……よくもそんな危うい方法を
    実行に移したものですな。
  • 薄氷を踏むがごとき策……一歩間違えば
    同盟が崩壊しかねないというのに。
  • それはさておき……エーデルガルト様。
    リーガン領侵攻、急ぐべきかと。
  • どうやら、そのクロードがまた
    良からぬことを企んでいるようでして。
  • エーデルガルト: クロードが？
  • ヒューベルト: はい。領都デアドラの人の出入りが、
    俄かに激しくなっています。
  • 戦いの準備を進めているのは無論ですが、
    他に何やら策があるのでは、と。
  • 早急にデアドラを落とすべきでは
    ないでしょうか。
  • エーデルガルト: デアドラ、通称“水の都”……
    海に浮かぶ攻めにくい都市ね。
  • リーガン領の奥深くにあるせいで、
    直接兵を向けられないでいたわ。
  • けれど、ミルディン大橋をようやく
    落とせたことで、状況は変わった。
  • 帝国から兵站線を伸ばすことなく、
    リーガン領に攻め入れる。
  • ヒューベルト: リーガン家、そしてクロードは、
    反帝国派の同盟諸侯の旗印。
  • リーガン家を滅ぼせば、諸侯は
    雪崩を打ってこちらにつくでしょう。
  • そのためにも、デアドラ陥落という
    事実が必要不可欠なのです。
  • > 「頑張ろう」
    ヒューベルト: 気楽に言いますな、先生。
    貴殿はあの者をどう評価していますか。
  • > 「手強そうだ」
    ヒューベルト: 間違いなく手強い相手でしょう。
    先生はあの者をどう評価していますかな。
  • 新しき盟主クロードは、
    世間ではこう呼ばれているのですよ。
  • 頭脳を戦わせれば負け知らず、
    ……“卓上の鬼神”と。
  • Edelgard: Master, you remember Claude, don’t you? What kind of impression did you have of him?
  • > 「He’s a tactician」
    Edelgard: Right. His style of tactics are still alive and well, even now.
  • Using the full force of his strategies, he has been protecting the Leicester Alliance from the Imperial Army.
  • > 「He’s a naughty boy」
    Edelgard: Definitely. He appears to do incoherent things while forcing the impossible to happen. He does that, even now.
  • In an unthinkable manner, using only his cunning, he has been protecting the Leicester Alliance.
  • > 「He has the makings of a king」
    Edelgard: I didn’t get that kind of impression. But, you have a sharp eye.
  • He became the Alliance leader and has been protecting all of the Leicester Alliance, after all.
  • > 「How did he do it?」
    Edelgard: At first, the Alliance’s opinion appeared to be split in half between pro-Imperial and anti-Imperial factions。
  • However, behind all that, Claude acted as an intermediary between all the lords and brought them all together.
  • After he equalized the power of the two factions, they made an agreement to not cause any further harm to each other…
  • By starting and ending small clashes, they’ve been containing the Empire’s intervention to a minimum.
  • Hubert: Kukuku… He really dared to pull off that kind of risky maneuver.
  • Though that plan is like treading on thin ice… One false step and the Alliance will have no choice but to collapse.
  • Putting that aside… Lady Edelgard. We must hurry with the invasion of the Riegan territory.
  • It appears that Claude is plotting something nefarious again.
  • Edegalrd: Claude is?
  • Hubert: Yes. The amount of people entering and leaving their capital city of Derdriu has been intensifying.
  • It is natural that they are making preparations for war, I think there may be some kind of other plan here.
  • We should take Derdriu at once, should we not?
  • Edelgard: Derdriu, known as the “Capital of Water”… The capital city floats on the sea, making it hard to attack.
  • Because it is deep within Riegan territory, we couldn’t dispatch troops to attack it directly.
  • However with the taking of the Great Bridge of Myriddin, the situation has changed.
  • We will invade Riegan territory without stretching out the supply chain from the Empire.
  • Hubert: House Riegan, and thus Claude, wields the banner of the Alliance’s anti-Imperial faction.
  • If we were to overthrow House Riegan, I’m sure the lords would be swarming to come over to our side.
  • For that to happen as well, it is imperative that Derdriu falls.
  • > 「Let’s do our best」
    Hubert: You say that so happy-go-lucky, Teacher. How do you evaluate that man?
  • > 「Looks difficult」
    Hubert: He is without a doubt a difficult opponent. I wonder how you evaluate that man, Teacher.
  • The new Alliance Leader Claude, people call him things.
  • One who is unbeatable if you let him fight with his brains… the “Demon of the Tabletop”.
  • Edelgard: Professor, what is your opinion of Claude? I can’t help but wonder what sort of impression he made on you.
  • > 「He’s a schemer.」
    Edelgard: That is inarguable. And his schemes are still going strong.
  • With them, he’s managed to keep the Leicester Alliance from the Empire’s grasp.
  • > 「He’s a jokester.」
    Edelgard: That much is obvious. He acts like a fool, but still manages to make the impossible happen. That’s as true now as ever.
  • He’s managed to protect the Leicester Alliance with his cunning alone.
  • > 「He would be a good king.」
    Edelgard: Interesting… I’ve never thought of him like that. However, I know you have a keen eye for potential.
  • After all, as leader of the Leicester Alliance, he has managed to protect his entire territory all this time.
  • > 「How has he done that?」
    Edelgard: Since the beginning, territories within the Alliance have been split between those who support the Empire and those who oppose it.
  • Claude has been acting as an intermediary between the two, essentially keeping the Alliance pacified
  • As both sides are of equal strength, he’s created a situation in which they’ve all agreed to avoid fighting each other and causing undue bloodshed.
  • By carrying on as though the Alliance is united, he’s minimized the Empire’s influence there.
  • Hubert: Heh. It’s quite impressive how well his bold scheme has worked out.
  •  However, he is walking on thin ice. One wrong move and the Alliance will shatter.
  • Speaking of Claude… Your Majesty, we should not delay in our invasion of the Alliance.
  • It would seem that Claude has some fresh scheme up his sleeve, to no one’s surprise.
  • Edegalrd: Is that so?
  • Hubert: Yes. The people of Derdriu have suddenly found it difficult to leave or enter the city.
  • We can safely assume he is preparing for battle, but I am certain his plans extend beyond that as well.
  • Do you not think we should take Derdriu at once?
  • Edelgard: Derdriu, the Aquatic Capital… A city floating on the ocean certainly poses a challenge.
  • Since it’s deep within Riegan territory, we haven’t had the opportunity to attack it directly.
  • However, now that we have control of the Great Bridge of Myrddin, our situation has changed drastically.
  • They can no longer expand their supply line into the Empire, and so we can finally attack Riegan territory.
  • Hubert: House Riegan is not only Claude’s house, but also the flagship of those who oppose the Empire within the Alliance.
  • If House Riegan falls, the other Alliance lords will be tripping over themselves to join us.
  • That is why we cannot fail to take Derdriu.
  • > 「Let’s go.」
    Hubert: Confidence is one thing, Professor, but see to it that you do not underestimate Claude.
  • > 「That seems difficult.」
    Hubert: Fair enough. Claude will certainly be a difficult opponent.
  • The leader of the Alliance has had many things said about him…
  • They say he is unbeatable in a battle of intellect. I hear they call him the Master Tactician.

Event: 遺産の真実 (Truth of the Heirlooms)

  • エーデルガルト: そろそろ出陣の時間ね。
    用意はいい？
  • > 「任せてくれ」
    エーデルガルト: 頼もしい返事ね。
    相手に隙だけは見せないで。
  • > 「勝てそうにない」
    エーデルガルト: 確かに相手は強敵よ。
    でも戦う前からそんなことは言わないで。
  • エーデルガルト: クロードは軍略もそうだけれど、
    彼自身にも注意を払わなければいけないわ。
  • 彼は“魔弓フェイルノート”を扱う弓の
    名手……倒すのは困難を伴うでしょう。
  • > 「魔弓フェイルノート……」
    エーデルガルト: リーガン家に伝わる英雄の遺産よ。
    フォドラ十傑の一人が使った弓ね。
  • ……師せんせいは、フォドラ十傑の伝承を正しく
    知っているのかしら。
  • 人が創り出した武器である英雄の遺産を、
    セイロスが十傑を殺して集めたことを。
  • 力ある王だったネメシスを、セイロスが
    人間を操って打ち倒したことを……。
  • > 「ネメシスは邪に染まったのでは」
    エーデルガルト: それはセイロス教団が広めた偽りの歴史。
    本当は、ただ争ったに過ぎない。
  • > 「そんなことが……」
    エーデルガルト: 教団はネメシスが邪に染まったという偽りの
    歴史を広めた。本当は、ただ争っただけ。
  • エーデルガルト: 人の上に立つのが人なのか、
    それとも人ならざるものなのか……。
  • 結果は、セイロスが勝った。“白きもの”と
    その眷属が、このフォドラを支配したの。
  • なぜそれを知っているかって？
    代々の皇帝に伝えられてきたからよ。
  • セイロスに操られ協力した人間というのが、
    帝国の初代皇帝なのだから……。
  • > 「………………」
    エーデルガルト: 貴方が解放王ネメシスと同じ“天帝の剣”を
    持っているのは、運命なのかもしれない。
  • その剣を手に、歴史を捻じ曲げようとする
    者たちに立ち向かうという運命……
  • Edelgard: It’s almost time to depart for battle. Are you prepared?
  • > 「Leave it to me」
    Edelgard: A trustworthy reply. Don’t let your opponents see any weak spots.
  • > 「It’s unlikely we’ll win」
    Edelgard: Our opponent is definitely a difficult one. But don’t say such things before you fight.
  • Edelgard: Claude has his strategies, but we must also pay attention to the man himself as well.
  • He is a master at handling the Devil Bow[2]The character here for devil may also be the same as magic. The characters for magic are literally “devil acts”.
    Thus, Failnaught can also be called the “Magic Bow”, but localizers probably removed it because Failnaught doesn’t do magic damage.     “Failnaught”…… I’m sure it will take a lot of trouble to defeat him.
  • > 「Devil Bow Failnaught…」
    Edelgard: The Hero’s Heirloom handed down through House Riegan. It is a bow used by one of Fodlan’s Ten Elites.
  • …Master, I wonder if you know the proper lore of the Fodlan’s Ten Elites.
  • That the Hero’s Heirlooms are weapons created by humans that Seiros gathered after killing the Ten Elites.
  • That Seiros manipulated humans to defeat the powerful King Nemesis…
  • > 「What about Nemesis being corrupted by evil?」
    Edelgard: That is the history the Church of Seiros propagates. The truth is, they were doing nothing more than just quarreling.
  • > 「To do such a thing…」
    Edelgard: The church propagates the history that says Nemesis was corrupted by evil. The truth is, they were just quarreling.
  • Edelgard: Should the one who rules over humans be a human, or should it be something that is not a human…?
  • The result of that was Seiros winning. “The White One” and her folowers took total control of Fodlan.
  • How do I know that, you ask? Because it has been passed down from generation to generation to the Emperor.
  • After all, the human manipulated and worked with Seiros was the Empire’s first emperor…
  • > 「…」
    Edelgard: You having the same “Sword of the Creator” as the Liberation King Nemesis might be fate.
  • Fate to oppose those would distort history, with that sword in hand…
  • Edelgard: It’s almost time to depart. Are you ready?
  • > 「Leave it to me.」
    Edelgard: A promising answer. Whatever happens, never allow your foe to see any weakness.
  • > 「I don’t think we can win.」
    Edelgard: I agree that Claude will prove a difficult foe. Still, do not speak such words right before a battle.
  • Edelgard: We must pay attention not only to Claude’s schemes but to the man himself.
  • He’s a master archer who wields the legendary bow Failnaught. He won’t fall easily.
  • > 「Failnaught…」
    Edelgard: It’s the Relic of House Riegan. That bow once belonged to one of the 10 Elites.
  • Professor… Do you know the true story behind the legend?
  • The Relics were created by the hands of mankind. Seiros collected them after killing the 10 Elites.
  • Seiros manipulated the people of the world and defeated the all-powerful King Nemesis.
  • > 「I thought he was corrupted by his power?」
    Edelgard: That’s the history the Church of Seiros maintains. However, it was little more than a simple dispute.
  • > 「Why would she do that?」
    Edelgard: The church maintains the false history that he was corrupted and turned evil. However, it was little more than a simple dispute.
  • Edelgard: Should the one leading the people of the world be someone with humanity or a creature that can merely masquerade as a human at will?
  • In the end, Seiros was victorious. The Immaculate One and her family then took control of Fodlan.
  • I know this because that knowledge is passed down from emperor to emperor.
  • And that is the because the first emperor is the human who cooperated with Seiros, allowing humanity to be controlled in secret.
  • > 「…」
    Edelgard: Perhaps it’s fate that you can wield the Sword of the Creator, just like Nemesis, the King of Liberation.
  • And that very fate will lead you to use that sword to stand against those who would distort history.

Event: 盟主の策 (The Alliance Leader’s Plan)

  • クロード: ガルグ＝マクより出陣の気配あり、か……。
    予想よりも早いな。
  • ミルディン大橋を奪われたのは痛手だった。
    先生が生きてたのも、か。
  • それに……ジュディットの奴。死にそうに
    なったら逃げろと言っといただろ。
  • ったく……。
    俺のせいで、人が死んでいくな。
  • ナデル: それで、どうすんだ？
    尻尾巻いて帰んのか、家によ。
  • クロード: ……ナデル。
    下手な冗談はやめてくれ。
  • 俺を慕い、俺を信じる同盟の連中が、
    どれだけいると思ってんだ。
  • ナデル: まあ、そうだろうな。
    ということはだ、あれか。
  • クロード: ああ、あれをやる。
    頼んだぞ、ナデル。
  • デアドラに攻め寄せた連中の度肝、
    派手に抜いてやれ。
  • ナデル: ふはは、「常勝ならずとも不敗を誇る」と
    謳われた我らの強さ、思い知らせてやろう！
  • クロード: 後は……
    先生、あんたを見極めてやらなきゃな。
  • Claude: There are signs they’ve left from Garreg Mach, huh… They’re faster than I anticipated.
  • Letting them steal the Great Bridge of Myriddin was a serious blow. Teacher was alive as well, huh?
  • And… that Judith. I thought I told her  to run away when if she thought was going to die.
  • Great… So because of me, people are going to die.
  • Nader: And, so what? Gonna run back home with your tail between your legs?
  • Claude: …Nader. Cut it out with the bad jokes.
  • How many of my companions in the Alliance do you think put their trust in me, idolize me?
  • Nader: Well, you’re probably right. Does that mean we’re doing, that thing?
  • Claude: Yeah, we’re doing that thing. I’m counting on you, Nader.
  • Put on a show and rock the socks off the lot who are closing in on Derdriu.
  • Nader: Fuhaha, let’s show them that famous strength of ours, who are proud to not always win yet never know defeat!
  • Claude: Now then… Teacher, I have to make sure it’s really you.
  • Claude: It seems they’ve set out from Garreg Mach… That’s sooner than expected.
  • Losing the Great Bridge of Myrddin was a serious blow. So is the fact that Teach is still alive.
  • On top of all that…Judith. I told her to run if things looked grim.
  • Damn it. So many people will die, and by my call.
  • Nader: And, so what? Gonna run back home with your tail between your legs?
  • Claude: Nader… You’re really getting on my nerves.
  • Do you have any idea how much of the Alliance adores me and believes in me?
  • Nader: Well, I suppose it’s quite a lot. Does that mean that…
  • Claude: Yes. The plan is a go. I’m counting on you, Nader.
  • We’ll make a good show taking down those who would assault Derdriu.
  • Nader: People say our kind may not always win, but we never lose. Let’s teach them the real meaning of those words.
  • Claude: Now then… Let’s see what you’re made of, Teach…

Opening 2

  • ミルディン大橋より北進する帝国軍は、親帝
    国派のグロスタール家領を抜け、反帝国派の
    旗頭であるリーガン家領に侵入……
  • 盟主クロードが待ち受ける、領都デアドラに
    攻めかかろうとしていた。
  • The Imperial Army heads north from the Great Bridge of Myriddin passing through the territory of pro-Imperial House Gloucester, and invading the territory of the anti-Imperial faction’s leader, House Riegan…
  • They decide to attack the territory capital of Derdriu, where Alliance Leader Claude awaits them.
  • North of the Great Bridge of Myrddin, the Imperial Army passes through the allied territory of House Gloucester and invades the land of House Riegan, which leads the opposition.
  • They move to attack Claude in the capital, Derdriu, where the leader of the Alliance awaits their arrival.

Battle: デアドラの戦い (Battle of Derdriu)

  • 戦闘開始前
  • クロード: いよいよお出ましか……
    やれることはやった。
  • ここからは互いに札を出し合って、
    最後は……力比べだな。
  • エーデルガルト: クロードは市街を封鎖して、
    軍港に陣取っているようね。
  • ヒューベルト: くくく……ならば、わざわざ市街から攻める
    選択はないですな。
  • エーデルガルト: ええ。クロードの考えに乗るようで
    気に食わないけれど……
  • 軍港を奪取し、市街への入口を抑えれば、
    デアドラは制圧できるわ。
  • 各自、そのつもりで進軍なさい。
  • 戦闘開始時
  • ヒューベルト: 軍港からデアドラの市街へと繋がる門は
    ３つあります。
  • すべてを確保すれば、
    容易くデアドラを制圧できましょう。
  • 1ターン目敵フェイズ
  • クロード: さあて出番だ、パルミラの精鋭よ！

  • クロード: 同盟が恐れるその牙と爪、
    今だけは同盟のために使わせてくれよ。
  • ナデル: 任せとけ、坊主！　ナデル様の無敗伝説に、
    今日また一つ、武勇伝を加えてやらあ！
  • エーデルガルト: あの旗と軍装……パルミラ軍！？
    くっ……やってくれたわね、クロード！
  • ヒューベルト: 偽装……ではありませんな。
    あの将、パルミラのナデルという男です。
  • エーデルガルト: 急ぎ対応しなさい！
    特にパルミラの竜騎兵に注意して！
  • 3ターン目開始時
  • ヒューベルト: パルミラ軍の増援はまだ続きそうですな。
    せめてあのナデルを討ち取れれば……
  • 3つの門を制圧時
  • 村人: わ、我々は抵抗する気はありません！
  • どうかこれをお渡ししますので、
    市街には攻め込まないで……！
  • エーデルガルト: 元々、市街に手を出すつもりはないわ。
    狙いは同盟軍と、クロードの首なのだから。

  • リシテア: やっぱり先生もいましたか。
    厄介ですね……。
  • エーデルガルト vs リシテア
  • エーデルガルト: リシテア……残念ね。あなたのような才女が
    勝ち目のない戦いで命を散らすなんて。
  • リシテア: まだ負けるとは決まっていません……！
    勝負です、エーデルガルト！！
  • リシテア撃破後
  • リシテア: はあ、はあ……もう疲れました。
    殺すつもりなら、早く殺してください。
  • ただし化けて出ますので、そのつもりで。
    ほんと、散々な人生でしたから……。
  • > 「説得する」
    リシテア: え……わたしを、誘ってくれるんですか？
  • どうせ同盟は終わりです。後はもう、
    先生とエーデルガルトに賭けるしか……。
  • わたしにはまだ、やるべきことがあります。
    先生、よろしくお願いします……！
  • > 「殺す」
  • リシテア: 父さん、母さん……
    親不孝な娘で、ごめんなさい……
  • vs ヒルダ
  • ヒルダ: あたしのこと、忘れたわけじゃないでしょ？
    見逃してくれないかなー。
  • 主人公 vs ヒルダ

  • エーデルガルト vs ナデル
  • ナデル: 皇帝が最前線で戦い続けるとは、
    帝国は随分と人材難なんだな！
  • エーデルガルト: 残念ながら、それは否定できない……でも、
    パルミラの王もそういう人だと聞いたわ。
  • 貴方がこうして遠い地に赴いたのも、
    陣頭に立って戦う王のためじゃないの？
  • ナデル: こいつは一本取られたか……確かに俺が
    ここにいるのは、そういう奴のためだ！
  • ナデル撃破
  • ナデル: すまん、坊主……！
    俺たちは退散するしかねえようだ……！
  • クロード: ナデル、十分だ！
    生きてたらまた会おうぜ！
  • エーデルガルト: パルミラの将は撤退に追い込めた……。

  • クロード: はは、久々の再会が戦場とは泣けるねえ。
  • 主人公 vs クロード

  • エーデルガルト vs クロード
  • クロード: ガルグ＝マクで戦って以来か？
    美人になったな、エーデルガルト。
  • エーデルガルト: 貴方も随分、風格が出たわね。
    突拍子もない策は、相変わらずだけれど。
  • クロード: さてさて、積もる話が山ほどあるが……
    まずは勝負をつけちまおうか。
  • エーデルガルト: ええ、異存はないわ。
    ……覚悟なさい、クロード。

  • クロード: やあ、５年ぶりか？
    まさか帝国の将軍になってるとはねえ。
  • 主人公かエーデルガルトでクロード撃破
  • クロード: 参った、参った。やられたよ……
    これで俺が死ねば同盟領は帝国のもんだ。
  • エーデルガルト: ええ、だから諦めなさい？
    往生際の悪い男は……
  • クロード: 悪くもなるさ。
    こっちにも背負ってるもんがあるんだ。
  • 聡明な陛下ならわかるはずだ。
    俺がパルミラの援軍を呼べた理由が……。
  • どうだ？　逃がして恩を売っといたほうが
    上手くいきそうじゃないか？
  • > 「逃がす」
  • クロード: 助かったよ、先生、エーデルガルト。
    あんたらの英断に感謝感激だ。
  • この礼は……必ず返すよ。
  • > 「殺す」
  • クロード: そうかい……最後の最後まで、
    読みを外しちまったな。
  • 我が野望、潰えたり、か……。
  • 後は任せたぜ、エーデルガルト……
    良い世の中にしろよ……な……
  • クロード撃破
  • クロード: 策、成らず……レスター諸侯同盟領の命運、
    我が野望と共に潰えたり、だ……。
  • 後は任せたぜ、エーデルガルト……
    良い世の中にしろよ……な……
  • クロード撃破後
  • エーデルガルト: 皆の者、勝ち鬨を上げなさい！
    デアドラは我らのものとなったわ！
  • Before Battle Start
  • Claude: So they finally appeared… I’ve done all that I could.
  • From here on out, everyone’s cards are on the table.  The only thing left is… a contest of strength.
  • Edelgard: It appears Claude has blockaded the city streets and taken up position in the naval port.
  • Hubert: Kukuku… Then they have no option to expressly attack from the city streets.
  • Edelgard: Yes. But thinking like Claude, something doesn’t sit right  with me…
  • If we capture the naval port and seize the entrance to the city streets, we can take full control of Derdriu.
  • Each of you, march onward with that plan.
  • Battle Start
  • Hubert: There are three gates that connect to the city streets from the naval port.
  • If we secure them all, we shall be able to take control of Derdriu easily.
  • Turn 1 Enemy Phase 
  • Claude: Now, it’s your turn, Palmyran[3]Palmyra is the original name for Almyra.
    Since Palmyra is an actual place in Syria, the name might have been changed to prevent “likeness” issues.     Elite! Pierce the flanks of the Imperial Army!
  • Just for now, the fangs and claws that the Alliance fears, let us use you for the sake of the Alliance!
  • Nader: Leave it to us, lad! A new heroic chapter to Lord Nader’s undefeated legend will be added today!
  • Edelgard: That flag and equipment… the Palmyran Army?! Kuh… you’ve really gone and done it, Claude!
  • Hubert: It’s… not a disguise. That general is a Palmyran man named Nader.
  • Edelgard: Deal with them quickly! Pay special attention to the Palmyran Wyvern Knights!
  • Turn 3 Start
  • Hubert: Looks like Palmyran reinforcements are still coming. We must at least take out that Nader…
  • Seized The Three Gates
  • Villager: W-we don’t intent to resist!
  • We’re giving you this, so just please don’t attack the city streets…!
  • Edelgard: We did not intend to put our hands on the city streets to begin with. After all, we are only after the Imperial Army, and Claude’s head.[4]This is not necessarily referring to Edelgard trying to behead Claude.
    One’s job or position is also called your “head/neck” and the term for being terminated from your job uses the same word.
  • vs Lysithea
  • Lysithea: I won’t go easy on your even if you are a familiar face. For I must win this battle.
  • Byleth vs Lysithea
  • Lysithea: So you were here too after all? This is troublesome…
  • Edelgard vs Lysithea
  • Edelgard: Lysithea… what a shame. For a talented woman like you to throw away her life in an unwinnable battle.
  • Lysithea: I haven’t lost yet…! It’s win or lose, Edelgard!!
  • Lysithea Defeated
  • Lysithea: Haa, haa… I’m already exhausted. If you intend to kill me, please kill me quick.
  • But I intend to coming back and haunt you. After all, I’ve had quite a terrible life…
  • > 「Persuade」
    Lysithea: Eh… Are you, inviting me to join?
  • The Alliance is finished anyhow. Now I have no choice but to bet on you and Edelgard, Teacher…
  • There are still things that I have to do.  Teacher, I look forward to working with you…!
  • > 「Kill」
  • Lysithea: Father, Mother… I’m sorry for being a bad[5]Lysithea calls herself a bad daughter for lack of filial piety, a concept in many Asian cultures where children have to respect, take care of, and obey their parents.
    She was not bad in that she was disobedient or evil, but because she could not fulfill her duty to her parents.     daughter…
  • vs Hilda
  • Hilda: You didn’t forget about me, did you? Could you maybe let me off the hook~?
  • Byleth vs Hilda
  • Hilda: Teacherr! It’s been too long~! …But even so, you’re an enemy~ What a shame~
  • I also can’t pull out, you know~ After all, I have to help out our dear undependable Alliance Leader~
  • Marianne vs Hilda
  • Marianne: Hilda-san… I’m sorry.  I have to… no matter what…
  • Hilda: It’s okay, Marianne-chan. After all, this is the kind of thing that happens in war~
  • Hilda Defeated
  • Hilda: Claude-kun, it was fun… Thank you… I’ll be… going on ahead…
  • Claude: Hilda! Why didn’t you run away… It’s not like you to fight to the death…!
  • vs Nader
  • Nader: It’s been thirty plus years since I’ve put myself on the battlefield… Get a full taste of the hero who is proud to be undefeated!
  • Edelgard vs Nader
  • Nader: For the emperor to continue fighting on the front lines, the Empire must be pretty strapped for personnel!
  • Edelgard: While unfortunate, I cannot deny that… But, I’ve heard the King of Palmyra is also such a person.
  • You heading to a far-off land like this is also for the sake of a king who fights at the head of his army, right?
  • Nader: You got me there… I’m absolutely here for such a guy!
  • Nader Defeated
  • Nader: Sorry, lad…! Looks like we got no choice but to retreat…!
  • Claude: Nader, you’ve done enough! Survive and let’s meet again!
  • Edelgard: The Palmyran General was forced to retreat… Looks like that’s the end of the reinforcements.
  • vs Claude
  • Claude: Haha, for our reunion to be on the battlefield, I could cry.
  • Byleth vs Claude
  • Claude: Teacher, if only you had picked me instead of Edelgard…
  • …I’m joking, there’s no point in talking about things that we cling onto. Sorry, but I’ll be taking the win.
  • Edelgard vs Claude
  • Claude: Has it really been since we fought at Garreg Mach? You’ve become quite the beauty, Edelgard.
  • Edelgard: You’ve built quite the personality yourself. Still up to your crazy tactics as usual, though.
  • Claude: Now now, we have so much to catch up on but… why don’t we finish this match first?
  • Edelgard: Yes, I have no objections… Prepare yourself, Claude.
  • Jeritza vs Claude
  • Claude: Wow, has it been five years? I certainly wouldn’t have guessed you’d become an Imperial General.
  • Claude Defeated with Byleth or Edelgard
  • Claude: I give, I give. You got me… If I die here, the Alliance will be the Empire’s.
  • Edelgard: Yes, so give up, okay? You, being a man who doesn’t know when to give up…
  • Claude: I’m also getting worse at it. Since I have something to be cocky about here as well.
  • Someone as sensible as Your Majesty should have figured it out. The reason I was able to call Palmyran reinforcements…
  • How about it? Wouldn’t it be better if you let me go and have me repay the favor?
  • > 「Set Free」
  • Claude: You really helped me out, Teacher, Edelgard. I’m incredible grateful for your wise decision.
  • I will absolutely… repay this gift.
  • > 「Kill」
  • Claude: Is that so…? …So all the way until the end of the end, I’ve read it all wrong.
  • So my aspirations, have all fallen apart…
  • The rest is up to you now, Edelgard… I hope you make… a better world…
  • Claude Defeated
  • Claude: The plan, didn’t succeed… The fate of the Leicester Alliance, along with my aspirations, have all fallen apart…
  • The rest is up to you now, Edelgard… I hope you make… a better world…
  • After Claude Defeated
  • Edelgard: Everyone, Raise your voices in victory! Derdriu has become ours!
  • Before Battle Start
  • Claude: Here she comes, at long last… I’ve done all I can to prepare.
  • Let the cards fall where they may. It’ll be a true test of strength.
  • Edelgard: It seems Claude has blockaded the city and occupied the naval port.
  • Hubert: Heh. If that is the case, he will have no choice but to engage us from there.
  • Edelgard: Yes. Though putting myself in Claude’s place leaves me with an unpleasant feeling…
  • If we take over the port and close the entry to the city, Derdriu will be under our control.
  • Each soldier should bear that in mind as they advance.
  • Battle Start
  • Hubert: There are three gates which connect Derdriu to its naval port.
  • Taking the city will be easy once we secure all three.
  • Turn 1 Enemy Phase 
  • Claude: Now it’s our turn, Almyra’s elite! Strike the flanks of the Imperial army!
  • Those fangs and claws the Alliance fears so much will now be their salvation!
  • Nader: Leave it to us, kiddo! My undefeated streak will live on. Another chapter in my heroic saga!
  • Edelgard: That flag and banner… Is that the Almyran army? Ugh, you really did it, Claude!
  • Hubert: This is no ruse. That is Nadar, an Almyran general.
  • Edelgard: Take care of them quickly! Especially those Almyran wyverns!
  • Turn 3 Start
  • Hubert: The Almyran reinforcements keep coming. We should try to eliminate Nader…
  • Seized The Three Gates
  • Villager: We don’t have the guts to resist anymore!
  • Here…you can have this! Just please don’t attack the city!
  • Edelgard: I never planned to touch the city. Our target is the Alliance and their leader, Claude.
  • vs Lysithea
  • Lysithea: Don’t expect me to go easy on you. Because I won’t.
  • Byleth vs Lysithea
  • Lysithea: You are here as well, Professor? That is a shame…
  • Edelgard vs Lysithea
  • Edelgard: Lysithea. How unfortunate that a talented woman like you should throw her life away on a pointless battle.
  • Lysithea: Ha, do not underestimate me. The fight is far from over, Edelgard!
  • Lysithea Defeated
  • Lysithea: That’s the last of my energy. If you’re gonna kill me, make it quick.
  • Fair warning though, I’ll likely come back to haunt you. It’s not like I’ve had an easy time of it, after all…
  • > 「Persuade」
    Lysithea: You…want me to join you?
  • The Alliance is over no matter what. The only thing left is to place faith in you and Edelgard.
  • There’s still so much I have to accomplish. Thank you for the second chance, Professor.
  • > 「Kill」
  • Lysithea: Father, Mother… I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you…
  • vs Hilda
  • Hilda: You didn’t forget about me, did you? Maybe you should just let me go.
  • Byleth vs Hilda
  • Hilda: Professor! It’s been too long. But now we’re on opposite sides, huh? What a shame.
  • I’m not going to hold back. I can’t let down my dear old Claude.
  • Marianne vs Hilda
  • Marianne: I-I’m so sorry, Hilda. I…
  • Hilda: It’s OK, Marianne. These things happen in war.
  • Hilda Defeated
  • Hilda: It’s been fun, Claude… Sorry to go so soon…
  • Claude: Hilda! Why didn’t you retreat?! I counted on you retreating…
  • vs Nader
  • Nader: It’s been 30-odd years since I set foot on a field of battle. Here’s a taste of my undefeated strength!
  • Edelgard vs Nader
  • Nader: The emperor continues fighting at the front line. Is the Empire short on troops?
  • Edelgard: Unfortunately, I can’t deny it. But then, I’ve heard the Almyran king does the very same.
  • You have traveled far. I do hope it’s for a king who would not only lead his army but fight at their side.
  • Nader: Touché… Yes, he is that sort of king!
  • Nader Defeated
  • Nader: Sorry, kiddo. It seems we’ll have to withdraw…
  • Claude: You’ve done enough, Nader. Just stay alive. We’ll meet again one day!
  • Edelgard: We have forced the Almyran forces to flee. I doubt they’re expecting more reinforcements.
  • vs Claude
  • Claude: Heh… So sad that our reunion should take place on the battlefield.
  • Byleth vs Claude
  • Claude: Teach… You should have chosen me instead of Edelgard.
  • No point in whining about it now, I suppose. Sorry, but I’ll be taking the win today.
  • Edelgard vs Claude
  • Claude: We haven’t seen each other since Garreg Mach. You’ve grown lovelier than ever, Edelgard.
  • Edelgard: You’re not so unfortunate yourself. And as usual, you’re here at a most inopportune moment.
  • Claude: Well, I’m sure we have much more to talk about… But how about we settle things first?
  • Edelgard: No objections here. Prepare yourself, Claude.
  • Jeritza vs Claude
  • Claude: Hey, how long’s it been? Five years? Who’d have thought you’d end up as an Imperial general…
  • Claude Defeated with Byleth or Edelgard
  • Claude: Enough! You’ve bested me. If I die here, the Alliance becomes part of the Empire.
  • Edelgard: Do you yield, then? You’ve never known when to give up.
  • Claude: Well, I can’t just surrender so easily. I’m responsible for the others.
  • If you’re as smart as you seem, I bet you’ve figured out why I was able to summon Almyran reinforcements.
  • Wouldn’t it be better to let me go and have me in your debt?
  • > 「Spare」
  • Claude: Thank you, Professor. And you, Edelgard. I’m truly grateful for your courageous decision.
  • I will return your kindness one day… I promise.
  • > 「Kill」
  • Claude: I see. Right until the very end, I’ve read this whole thing terribly wrong…
  • All my hopes have fallen to ash…
  • It’s all up to you now, Edelgard… I really hope you do make the world…better…
  • Claude Defeated
  • Claude: The plan’s not working… The fate of the Leicester Alliance, and all my dreams, have fallen to ash…
  • It’s all up to you now, Edelgard… I really hope you do make the world…better…
  • After Claude Defeated
  • Edelgard: Everybody! Raise your voices in a victory cheer! Derdriu is ours!

  • 《クロード生存時》
    クロード: よう、先生。
  • エーデルガルト: クロード……！
  • クロード: おっと、そんな警戒すんなって。
    勝者の余裕はどこ行った？
  • 俺が逃げ出そうが、先生に挨拶に来ようが、
    何も気にする必要なんてないはずだぜ。
  • デアドラは陥落して、同盟は瓦解した。
    あんたらの勝利は、もう覆りようがない。
  • エーデルガルト: 兵たちの目をかいくぐってここに現れる
    貴方を、警戒しないほうが無理よ。
  • それで……本当に挨拶に来たのかしら？
  • クロード: ああ、お別れを言いにな。
    俺はフォドラを出るよ。
  • > 「なぜ？」
  • > 「力を貸してくれ」
    クロード: 力を……あっはっはっは！
    流石は先生だな、嫌いじゃないよ。だが……
  • クロード: 俺がいないほうがフォドラは
    平和になるんだ。そうだろ、陛下？
  • エーデルガルト: そのとおりよ。貴方が同盟にいる限り、
    反帝国派は貴方を担ぎ上げようとするわ。
  • クロード: つうわけで、俺は退散させてもらうぜ。
    あんたらへの恩は、別の形で返そう。
  • 同盟諸侯については、お手柔らかに頼むよ。
    もうあんたに逆らう奴はいないさ。
  • 俺の元同級生たちにも、頼んである。
    俺が負けたら、あんたに協力しろってな。
  • エーデルガルト: 貴方……まさか、これまでの同盟の動きは、
    負けた時のことまで考えて……？
  • クロード: そいつは買いかぶりってもんだ。
    結果としてそう見えるだけだろ。
  • ただ、デアドラを除く同盟領はほとんど
    無傷で残り、あんたの覇業の力となる。
  • 本当は俺が覇王にでもなってやろうかと
    思ってたんだが……負けちまったしな。
  • エーデルガルト: クロード……。
  • クロード: せいぜい頑張ってくれ、エーデルガルト。
    じゃ、俺はこれで。

    反帝国派は彼を担ぎ上げようとする。
  • 犠牲を最小限に留めるためにも、
    彼だけは討たねばならなかったわ。
  • ただ……終わってみれば、すべて

  • 彼がいなくなった後の同盟がどうなるか……
    それがわからない彼ではないはずよ。
  • リーガン家を除くほとんどの諸侯の領地は
    無傷で残り、帝国の支配下に組み込まれる。
  • 民の暮らしが荒れることもないし、

  • 《Claude Lives》
    Claude: Yo, Teacher.
  • Edelgard: Claude…!
  • Claude: Whoa, don’t be so on-guard. Where did your margin of victory go?
  • I was going to run away but I thought I’d come and greet Teacher, so you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
  • Derdriu has surrendered, and the Alliance has collapsed. Your victory can’t be overturned anymore.
  • Edelgard: It would be unreasonable not to be on guard with you slipping past the eyes of the soldiers and showing up here.
  • With that said… did you really come here to greet us?
  • Claude: Yep, but I had something else to say. I’m leaving Fodlan.
  • > 「Why?」
  • > 「Lend us your strength」
    Claude: My strength… Ahahahaha! That’s Teacher for ya, I wouldn’t hate that. But…
  • Claude: Fodlan would be more peaceful without me here.  Wouldn’t you think so, Your Majesty?
  • Edelgard: Precisely. As long as you remain in the Alliance, the anti-Imperial faction would try to convince you to accept their cause.
  • Claude: For that reason, let me run away. I’ll return my debt to you in another form.
  • I’m asking you, don’t be too hard on the Alliance nobles. There’s already nobody who oppose you.
  • I ask you do the same for my former classmates as well. I told them to cooperate with you if I lost.
  • Edelgard: You… Did you actually anticipate moves for the Alliance even for when you lost…?
  • Claude: That would be overestimating it. I’m pretty sure it just looks like it as a result.
  • Still, the Alliance territories outside of Derdriu are left mostly uninjured and are ready to become part of your dominating power.
  • In truth, I thought I would become the supreme ruler but… I lost completely, didn’t I.
  • Edelgard: Claude…
  • Claude: Do your best for me, Edelgard. Well, that’s all for me.
  • Edelgard: …Even though we utterly crushed him, he really is tough nut to crack.[6]Literally, cannot be eaten.  This term refers to smart, cunning people who are difficult to deal with, like an animal who slips away from being eaten.
  • 《Claude Dies》
    Edelgard: Derdriu has surrendered, and the Alliance has collapsed. The Alliance Leader, too, has departed this world.
  • > 「Still, even without killing him…」
    Edelgard: …If Claude remained in the alliance, the anti-Imperial faction would try to convince him to accept their cause.
  • In order to keep casualties to a minimum, we had to kill him.
  • Still… Looking at it now that it’s over, I also got the feeling he everything in the palm of his hand.
  • What would happen to the Alliance after he’s gone… He must have understood that.
  • Most of the territories of the lords outside of House Riegan are left uninjured, and can be placed under the control of the Empire.
  • Since the lives of the people will not be ruined, there will also be no pointless bloodshed.
  • I wonder if that’s also what Claude wished for…
  • > 「Sounds like Claude」
    Edelgard: Of course, if we had been caught in his plan at Derdriu and I were to have died…
  • I’m sure the result would be the completely opposite. The uninjured Alliance Army would have stormed the Empire like an avalanche.
  • Claude, in either situation, might have chosen the closest possible path to peace.
  • 《Claude Either Alive or Dead》
    Hubert: Lady Edelgard, we have completed the seizure of Derdriu.
  • As for dealing with the aftermath of the Alliance, we will entrust it to Count Bergliez as planned.
  • Caspar: Huh? My old man is coming here too? From west to east, he sure is a busy man.
  • Hubert: As it stands, shall we will return to the monastery… and prepare for the next battle with the Kingdom?
  • Edelgard: Yes, thank you.
  • Thanks to everyone, the battle with the Alliance has more or less shown its conclusion.
  • But we cannot afford to be careless… Our task now is to go and strengthen the battlefront against the Kingdom.
  • There’s no doubt that the Kingdom Army joined with the Church’s forces will be quite a formidable foe.
  • So once again, I’m asking everyone for your strength from here on out. Now, to our triumphant return!
  • Caspar: Alriiiiight! Our, triumphant return! Let’s gooo!
  • Dorothea: I’m glad that the war is getting closer to the end.  Still, it looks like it’s also going get violent…
  • Petra: The Kingdom Army, the Church of Seiros, are insufficient. I smash them, into tiny pieces.
  • Lindhart: You mean “will smash[7]Petra uses the present indicative form (I smash/I will smash) which is a statement of fact for something she will do.
    Lindhart points that while it is grammatically correct, using the potential form (I can smash) feels more appropriate because just because you can, doesn’t mean you will.    ”, right?  While you’re technically correct, it subtly leaves no room for doubt…
  • Well, as long as Teacher is here, we won’t lose. No matter who the opponent is, probably.
  • Bernadetta: Nooo! Our opponent is Lady Rhea! She’ll be scary! And angry!
  • But, I wonder if it’s difficult for her to always be in that “the White One” form?
  • Dorothea: Right, if she could always be in that form, she could have flown to the monastery as many times as she liked.
  • Ferdinand: It’s possible that it is a power she needs to prepare for in times of emergency.  Though it is a wishful observation.
  • At any rate, even if our enemy is the Archbishop or “The White One”, we can’t stop.
  • There’s still half left, even though half is done… Without a doubt, we are moving forward.
  • Hubert: Kuku… Nobody can do anything to stop our progress.
  • 《Claude Lives》
    Claude: Hey, Teach.
  • Edelgard: Claude?!
  • Claude: Settle down, will you? You’re the victor, after all.
  • I could have escaped, but I decided to say hi to Teach. Nothing to worry about.
  • Derdriu has fallen and the Alliance has collapsed. There’s nothing I could do to turn things around at this point.
  • Edelgard: You want me to drop my guard around someone who evaded detection by my soldiers? Impossible.
  • Did you really risk coming here just to say hello?
  • Claude: I did. But mostly, I wanted to say good-bye. I’m leaving Fodlan.
  • > 「Why are you leaving?」
  • > 「Lend us your strength?」
    Claude: Lend you my… I knew I liked you, Teach!
  • Claude: I daresay Fodlan would be a lot more peaceful without me around. Right, Your Majesty?
  • Edelgard: It’s as you say. So long as you remain here, the faction of the Alliance that is against the Empire will continue to support you.
  • Claude: Too true. It’s best if I leave this place altogether. I’ll just have to find some other way to pay back my debt to you.
  • All I ask is that you go easy on the Alliance. After all, no one there would dare defy you.
  • And please, treat my former classmates well. I’ve asked them to cooperate with you if I lost.
  • Edelgard: Wait… Did your scheming include a plan for if the Alliance lost?
  • Claude: Heh, you think too highly of me. It just seems that way now.
  • Outside of Derdriu, most of the Alliance is unscathed and ready to join your superior strength.
  • In all honesty, I was hoping to become a supreme ruler and lead Fodlan to peace myself. But…that won’t be happening now.
  • Edelgard: Claude…
  • Claude: Good luck to you, Edelgard.
  • Edelgard: We crushed him in battle and yet… He really is difficult to understand.
  • 《Claude Dies》
    Edelgard: Derdriu is ours. The Alliance has collapsed, and their leader has fallen.
  • > 「Did we really have to kill him?」
    Edelgard: If Claude had lived, the faction of the Alliance that is against the Empire would have never stopped fighting us.
  • To keep the bloodshed to a minimum, he had to be taken out of the equation.
  • However, now that it’s over, I can’t help but wonder if he was in complete control of that entire situation.
  • What will become of the Alliance without him… He must have taken that into account.
  • Without the rule of House Riegan, and with most of the territory left unscathed, the Alliance will undoubtly ally itself with the Empire.
  • The citizen’s lives will be saved from ruin, and no more blood will be shed.
  • Perhaps that’s what he wanted from the start…
  • > 「That sounds like Claude.」
    Edelgard: Of course, if his plan here in Derdriu had worked and I had lost my life…the opposite would have come to pass.
  • The Empire would have rushed to the Alliance without further conflict.
  • No matter how the battle unfolded, Claude secured the shortest, most peaceful possible outcome.
  • 《Claude Either Alive or Dead》
    Hubert: Lady Edelgard, Derdriu is now completely under our control.
  • As planned, the Alliance’s affairs will now be overseen by Count Bergliez.
  • Caspar: My father is coming here? First west, than east… You sure keep him busy.
  • Hubert: Should the others return to the monastery and prepare to face the Kingdom?
  • Edelgard: Yes. Thank you, Hubert.
  • Thanks to all of your efforts, our battle with the Alliance has reached its conclusion.
  • However, we still can’t afford to be careless. We must now join the battle against the Kingdom.
  • With the strength of the church on their side, they will prove to be a formidable enemy.
  • More than ever, your support is invaluable. We’ll need it in the days to come. But for now, let’s enjoy our triumphant return!
  • Caspar: Let’s get to it!
  • Dorothea: I’m so happy that the end of the fighting is near. Too bad there’s still more violence to come…
  • Petra: The Kingdom and the Church of Seiros are worthy for fighting. I will crush them into very small pieces!
  • Lindhart: Crushing wouldn’t yield a lot of pieces, but I guess it would get the job done. With the Professor we can’t lose…probably.
  • Well, as long as Teacher is here, we won’t lose. No matter who the opponent is, maybe.
  • Bernadetta: Oh no, are we fighting Lady Rhea? But she’s scary! And she’ll be really angry!
  • But no way she can stay in her spooky beast form all the time…right?
  • Dorothea: If she could, she would have come and attacked the monastery as many times as she wanted.
  • Ferdinand: It may be wishful thinking, but perhaps it is a power that she can only access when the situation is dire.
  • But whether she is the archbishop or the Immaculate One, we cannot be stopped!
  • Half remains, but half is finished… We are certainly moving forward.

Notes
↑1 Tabletop is used in many contexts to refer to theory.  Together, they mean something like a fearsome master of theorycraft.
↑2 The character here for devil may also be the same as magic. The characters for magic are literally “devil acts”.
Thus, Failnaught can also be called the “Magic Bow”, but localizers probably removed it because Failnaught doesn’t do magic damage.
↑3 Palmyra is the original name for Almyra.
Since Palmyra is an actual place in Syria, the name might have been changed to prevent “likeness” issues.
↑4 This is not necessarily referring to Edelgard trying to behead Claude.
One’s job or position is also called your “head/neck” and the term for being terminated from your job uses the same word.
↑5 Lysithea calls herself a bad daughter for lack of filial piety, a concept in many Asian cultures where children have to respect, take care of, and obey their parents.
She was not bad in that she was disobedient or evil, but because she could not fulfill her duty to her parents.
↑6 Literally, cannot be eaten.  This term refers to smart, cunning people who are difficult to deal with, like an animal who slips away from being eaten.
↑7 Petra uses the present indicative form (I smash/I will smash) which is a statement of fact for something she will do.
Lindhart points that while it is grammatically correct, using the potential form (I can smash) feels more appropriate because just because you can, doesn’t mean you will.
