[00:50] ---
    Ah, damn it, already!
[00:54] ---
    Prerequisites for the
    ESP Card experiment?
[00:57] ---
    Don't go thinking that Level 0
    Kamijo knows something like that.
[01:08] ---
    Imagine Breaker--the marvelous
    power that resides in my right hand.
[01:13] ---
    Apparently, it is able to cancel
    out any other extraordinary power
[01:16] ---
    with a single touch.
[01:19] ---
    But a fantastic power like this
[01:21] ---
    doesn't have any effect on my
    summer vacation homework problems.
[01:26] ---
    What's more, on this day, of all days,
[01:29] ---
    Misaka Mikoto pressured me
    into pretending to be her boyfriend,
[01:32] ---
    not to mention, I was chased
    around by an Aztecan magician,
[01:35] ---
    as one crazy incident
    after another piled up on me.
[01:39] ---
    The practical upshot of all of this being...
[01:42] ---
    ...that I haven't finished
    most of my homework.
[01:48] ---
    I get it. Magical Powered
    Kanamin takes the Parts of Ether
[01:51] ---
    the lotus staff for the Elementals,
[01:54] ---
    and reproduces them in plastic, right?
[01:57] ---
    --How wonderfully Japanese-styled that is!
[01:58] ---
    --Listen, Miss Index...
    --How wonderfully Japanese-styled that is!
[02:00] ---
    I'm not going to tell you not to watch TV,
[02:04] ---
    but as for the volume, at least...
[02:05] ---
    Toma, you never do anything fun with me.
[02:09] ---
    That's why I'm escaping
    into the world of television!
[02:19] ---
    Ow...
[02:20] ---
    Ah, man! Why is it that now,
    when I have no time,
[02:23] ---
    you come up with more things
    for me to do?! Huh? Hold on...
[02:26] ---
    Where's that worksheet that
    I was only half-way done with?
[02:28] ---
    Or Classical Japanese problem set?
    Or my math reference book?
[02:32] ---
    Ah, Toma!
[02:33] ---
    Oh, did you find something?
[02:35] ---
    It's after 3 o'clock.
[02:37] ---
    Huh?
[02:41] ---
    I'd sure like a snack.
[02:45] ---
    Just my luck.
[02:51] ---
    Index Librorum Prohibitorum...
[02:56] ---
    The List of Prohibited Books, huh?
[03:16] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[03:20] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[03:25] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[03:29] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[03:35] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[03:40] ---
    But the angel continued to smile in discernment
[03:51] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[03:56] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[04:01] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[04:07] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[04:14] ---
    No buts!
[04:32] ---
    Wow, it sure was a lot of trouble,
[04:34] ---
    locating this worksheet
    among the pile of manga it was in.
[04:38] ---
    Tell me, Toma, am I great, or am I great?
[04:42] ---
    Don't you have anything
    to say to me? Well? Well?
[04:46] ---
    So, what is it you're
    trying to say to me?
[04:49] ---
    I did a lot of work for you,
    so I want a reward deserving of it.
[04:53] ---
    Meaning that I want to eat something.
[04:54] ---
    You just finished my half
    of the pudding, too, didn't you?!
[04:57] ---
    Oh, maybe that would be good.
[04:59] ---
    "Hirayama Rami's 5-hour Cooking!"
    "How to Make Tofu Hamburger"
[04:59] ---
    Today we'll cover "How to Make 5-hour Tofu Hamburger."
[05:02] ---
    I told you, I don't have time
    to make something like that!
[05:05] ---
    It's just after 5:00 pm now,
[05:07] ---
    leaving about seven
    hours before the date changes,
[05:09] ---
    so even if I'm ready
    to work through the night,
[05:11] ---
    there's less than fifteen more
    hours before I have to go to school!
[05:13] ---
    --And in just that much time...
    --Toma...
[05:16] ---
    It's not good to push yourself so hard.
[05:19] ---
    Your brain has to work even
    harder when you're so on-edge.
[05:23] ---
    Don't overexert yourself.
[05:24] ---
    You're the last person
    I want to hear that from!
[05:31] ---
    This is it.
[05:39] ---
    Wind Magic Bowstring!
[05:53] ---
    Striking Bowstring!
[06:08] ---
    Not here?
[06:10] ---
    I just had a nasty feeling...
[06:13] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[06:14] ---
    Can I order anything from here?
[06:17] ---
    What? What do you want?
[06:19] ---
    Okay, then...
    The most expensive thing!
[06:23] ---
    All right, ¥2000 worth of raw eggs...
[06:26] ---
    Toma!
[06:28] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma, together with Index,
[06:30] ---
    decided to go to a family
    restaurant for a change of pace.
[06:33] ---
    I was busy plugging away
[06:35] ---
    at what was left of my
    summer vacation homework.
[06:43] ---
    Thank you for waiting--
[06:54] ---
    There you are.
[06:57] ---
    And now, to battle.
[07:01] ---
    My survey report on
    the development of abilities...
[07:04] ---
    Excuse me! I will bring something
    to wipe this up with right away!
[07:07] ---
    --Th-Then again, Toma,
    you can still make out the letters,
[07:08] ---
    --Three pages.
    --Th-Then again, Toma, you can still make out the letters,
[07:10] ---
    --I'd already written three pages.
    --so if you copy it down exactly to a new manuscript sheet,
[07:13] ---
    you can still use it.
[07:15] ---
    When you consider that you don't
    have to think everything up again,
[07:18] ---
    just think of all the trouble you'll save!
[07:27] ---
    The starting shot to war is raised!
[07:29] ---
    Sunder Magic Bowstring!
[07:43] ---
    Why, you...!
[07:44] ---
    What the hell are you--
[07:47] ---
    Over here.
[07:49] ---
    I did not anticipate this outcome.
[07:52] ---
    It would please me if we
    can limit any wanton loss of life.
[07:55] ---
    If you will surrender yourself,
    I will take no action against you.
[07:58] ---
    So long as I obtain my objective...
[08:03] ---
    M-My...
[08:04] ---
    My homework has turned into confetti...
[08:07] ---
    Hey! You there! You did this,
    so you have to make it right!
[08:12] ---
    You have to do my homework again!
[08:14] ---
    None of my concern.
[08:20] ---
    Okay, Kamijo is feeling
    just a little bit violent today.
[08:25] ---
    Wait, huh?
[08:28] ---
    I will be brief.
[08:30] ---
    I am not interested in childish games.
[08:33] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
    What are you going to do to Index?!
[08:36] ---
    I'm sure you know,
[08:38] ---
    if you are aware that this
    is the List of Prohibited Books
[08:41] ---
    who has memorized the 103,000 volumes...
[08:44] ---
    Are you a magician?
[08:46] ---
    Indeed I am.
[08:48] ---
    Transparent Magic Bowstring!
[08:50] ---
    Hold it, you bastard!
[08:54] ---
    There's something small and soft right here!
[08:56] ---
    Is that you there, Index?
[09:02] ---
    W-What...?
[09:08] ---
    Damn, he got me!
[09:10] ---
    Excuse me, sir...
[09:18] ---
    I didn't make her carry a cell phone
    with her for times like this, but...
[09:21] ---
    No reason why she would answer. Damn!
[09:24] ---
    Just where am I supposed to look for her?
[09:28] ---
    Hey!
[09:30] ---
    Hey! Where are you going, Sphinx?!
[09:32] ---
    Wait up!
[09:36] ---
    A hotel?
[09:37] ---
    Don't tell me Index is in there!
[09:40] ---
    Is that where she is, Sphinx?!
[09:47] ---
    In there?!
[09:49] ---
    Index!
[09:52] ---
    Hey, you! Don't you have any
    sense of obligation to your master?!
[09:56] ---
    Index is the one who took you in,
    you know, if only temporarily!
[10:00] ---
    Come on, let's go
    look for her, right away!
[10:29] ---
    I'm surprised.
[10:31] ---
    In just this short time,
    you've already untied two knots.
[10:35] ---
    Japan may have given rise to its
    own unique culture of rope tortures,
[10:38] ---
    but I will not talk
    under such rough measures.
[10:42] ---
    I told you, torturing
    you is not my objective.
[10:47] ---
    I wish to obtain one of
    the grimoires that is inside you.
[10:56] ---
    Now...
[10:58] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:58] ---
    I must first raise a magical field for amplification purposes...
[11:06] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:10] ---
    What is that magician
    planning to do to Index?
[11:14] ---
    Damn it! Where am
    I supposed to look?!
[11:18] ---
    Whoa-oa-oa...
[11:20] ---
    S-Sorry!
[11:31] ---
    Hey, you! What are you doing here?!
[11:35] ---
    Geez, it seems like you're
    always running around somewhere.
[11:39] ---
    If everything's all right,
    then call me and say it's all right!
[11:43] ---
    Oh, come to think of it,
    you don't know my number, do you?
[11:48] ---
    H-Huh? Eh?!
[11:58] ---
    For Pete's sake!
[11:59] ---
    You're always doing this!
    Stop messing around with me! Huh?
[12:04] ---
    How come you look like
    you're about to cry, for real?
[12:07] ---
    I'm in a hurry here, as much as I can be!
[12:09] ---
    What with the homework,
    the kidnapping
[12:10] ---
    and the commotion
    at the family restaurant...!
[12:11] ---
    So tell me, what do you want?!
[12:14] ---
    Eh? W-What do...
[12:15] ---
    Oh, well... I was simply upset
    that you didn't spend time with me,
[12:21] ---
    but I don't have anything
    that I want from you, especially...
[12:25] ---
    Not that there would be...
[12:28] ---
    Sorry!
[12:30] ---
    Hey, hold on! Are you seriously
    going to leave me here?!
[12:34] ---
    Hey, I said!
[12:39] ---
    Is this a Kagura stage?
[12:41] ---
    Nothing so elaborate as that.
    At the end of the day,
[12:44] ---
    it's closer to a Bon
    festival dance grounds.
[12:48] ---
    And you prepared this to
    have me possessed by something?
[12:53] ---
    Oh, the real reason
    I raised the magical field
[12:56] ---
    was to try to increase the
    force of this thing.
[13:00] ---
    Your Azusa Yumi bow? A ceremonial
    item used in Japanese Shinto?
[13:04] ---
    Magnificent. So your
    magical library also covers
[13:09] ---
    my cultural background, does it?
[13:11] ---
    --This thing's normal power is, at most,
    --Index? Index!
[13:13] ---
    --only enough to shock the mind,
    or to rectify any imbalances.
[13:13] ---
    --Hey, you hear me? Where are you?!
[13:18] ---
    However, with all the
    right conditions in place,
[13:21] ---
    it can read the details
    within another's mind.
[13:25] ---
    Yes, even reveal the 103,000 volumes
[13:29] ---
    that you are hiding so
    desperately within your heart.
[13:33] ---
    N-No!
[13:34] ---
    Even you must know what would
    happen if anyone other than me
[13:37] ---
    were to touch the grimoires!
[13:40] ---
    Of course.
[13:41] ---
    I am well aware.
[13:46] ---
    What was that?
[13:57] ---
    That's the hotel from earlier, isn't it?!
[14:00] ---
    Damn!
[14:42] ---
    That's the Baopiaozi--
[14:44] ---
    the grimoire dealing with immortal youth
[14:46] ---
    and becoming a sage in Chinese culture.
[14:48] ---
    It contains alchemy to create an elixir
[14:50] ---
    that can cure any
    manner of disease or curse.
[14:58] ---
    I thought I could do anything
    once I became a magician.
[15:02] ---
    It is because I didn't
    want any more setbacks
[15:06] ---
    that I took the oath
    to become a magician.
[15:10] ---
    At the very least, it was not for this.
[15:17] ---
    There was a woman who
    was dying from some kind of curse.
[15:22] ---
    A powerless, nobody of a person,
    who could do nothing but smile
[15:27] ---
    while she watched
    death close in around her.
[15:32] ---
    If I couldn't even
    help this nobody of a person,
[15:35] ---
    then there was no "can do
    anything" or "not want any setbacks."
[15:42] ---
    So for this nobody of a woman,
    how could I bring any harm to the dream
[15:46] ---
    that I had been so
    carefully fostering up until now?
[15:58] ---
    Surely it was not for
    that nobody of a woman.
[16:01] ---
    By no means was it because
    of that nobody of a woman!
[16:05] ---
    You're wrong.
[16:07] ---
    I can tell. Your Azusa Yumi bow's
    power has been amplified too much,
[16:12] ---
    and your mind is
    slipping back within me.
[16:15] ---
    That's why I know.
[16:17] ---
    You were simply
    in love with that woman.
[16:21] ---
    That's precisely why you
    risked your life to save her.
[16:25] ---
    You hurt others and had to commit
    that sin in order to save her.
[16:30] ---
    That's why you didn't want
    to put the blame on that woman.
[16:34] ---
    That's why you
    must not meet this fate!
[16:37] ---
    Relying on some
    grimy grimoire is not the way!
[16:46] ---
    Toma!
[16:57] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[16:59] ---
    Geez, you really had me worried.
[17:01] ---
    Toma, I'm hungry!
[17:03] ---
    I'll feed you until you're full later on.
[17:05] ---
    Toma!
[17:06] ---
    Is this wrong?
[17:08] ---
    Is wanting to protect someone,
    even in exchange for my own life,
[17:14] ---
    something that is wrong?!
[17:24] ---
    Well of course it's wrong.
[17:32] ---
    You know, don't you,
[17:34] ---
    how painful it is to have
    someone dear to you die on you?
[17:38] ---
    To have someone suffer,
    and be in pain, right before your eyes,
[17:42] ---
    but there's nothing you can do.
[17:46] ---
    You know the grief of being
    powerless to do anything, don't you?
[17:51] ---
    You had to have panicked.
    It had to have pained you.
[17:54] ---
    It had to have grieved you.
    It had to have hurt you.
[17:56] ---
    It had to have scared you.
    It had to have shaken you.
[17:58] ---
    It had to have made you scream.
    It had to have made you shed tears.
[18:01] ---
    Which is why it's wrong!
[18:02] ---
    An intense shock like that
[18:04] ---
    is not something you
    can push on someone else!
[18:19] ---
    Of all the...
[18:22] ---
    After reading just
    one volume, look at me...
[18:25] ---
    It's no wonder that a tiny vessel
    such as myself found it impossible
[18:29] ---
    to obtain even a single
    volume of the original text.
[18:36] ---
    My life has been nothing but
    a series of setbacks.
[18:39] ---
    Three times now,
    I've given up on my life.
[18:44] ---
    But even so, there was
    something I couldn't give up on.
[18:49] ---
    It was all for the sake of one thing...
[19:11] ---
    Ow! Ow!
[19:12] ---
    What makes you think you can
    bring a tidy end to the matter like that?
[19:16] ---
    That's for my summer vacation homework.
[19:19] ---
    Sheesh, thanks to you,
    my homework is beyond hope now!
[19:23] ---
    Now then, where is this
    person who's so dear to you?
[19:29] ---
    What?
[19:30] ---
    We can manage something without
    using the List of Prohibited Books.
[19:36] ---
    Huh?
[19:37] ---
    You saw my right hand, didn't you?
[19:39] ---
    I'm not a magician,
    so I don't know how bad a curse is,
[19:44] ---
    but by using this, that curse
    will vanish in one shot, won't it?
[19:49] ---
    Th-That's... ridiculous...
[19:52] ---
    I'm not so sure, myself,
    but that's the way my right hand is.
[19:59] ---
    Now then, why don't you show us the way?
[20:03] ---
    I promise you,
    we'll help this person you love.
[20:06] ---
    For that to happen,
    we'll need your cooperation.
[20:09] ---
    So whatever it takes,
    you're going to help us.
[20:12] ---
    You want to help her, don't you?
    With your own two hands?
[20:22] ---
    For crying out loud, now I'm
    at the mercy of a magical curse,
[20:25] ---
    something I don't know anything about.
[20:28] ---
    Let's all go there together,
[20:31] ---
    and kill that good-for-nothing fantasy!
[20:34] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[20:41] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[20:58] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[21:05] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[21:10] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[21:16] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[21:22] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[21:27] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[21:34] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[21:40] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[21:45] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[21:53] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:38] ---
    "little sister"
[22:45] ---
    Do you even know...
[22:48] ---
    ...just who it is... that you attacked...?
[22:56] ---
    For Pete's sake...
[22:57] ---
    Imagine, England's vaunted knighthood,
[23:00] ---
    brought down like this.
[23:03] ---
    Did you come to stop me?
[23:05] ---
    I was never told to stop you, personally,
[23:09] ---
    and I have my own task to take care of.
[23:11] ---
    That would be on whose orders,
[23:13] ---
    the English Puritan Church,
    or Academy City?
[23:16] ---
    Good question.
[23:18] ---
    Well, if you use your common sense,
    I think you'd know right away.
[23:21] ---
    That is, if you consider whose spy I am,
    you'd know right away.
[23:30] ---
    I'm leaving now. If you wish to
    report to your superiors, feel free.
[23:35] ---
    Oh, yeah? Ah, I'll just retrieve this bunch.
[23:38] ---
    I owe you one.
[23:41] ---
    So anyway, what did you come
    all the way here from England for?
[23:49] ---
    Good question.
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    Index is suddenly taken away.
[23:57] ---
    A giant conspiracy is being
    carried on outside Academy City.
[24:00] ---
    What is the true purpose of
    the group targeting Orsola Aquinas?

[00:34] ---
    Archbishop!
[00:36] ---
    I told you...
[00:37] ---
    ...call me not by that name.
[00:41] ---
    In a place like this, without an escort?
[00:44] ---
    If you wish to speak, can we
    not do it at St. George's Cathedral?
[00:48] ---
    I shall not e'er be confined
    within that old minster.
[00:53] ---
    We shall speak as we walk.
[00:56] ---
    Well, I suppose that will do.
[00:59] ---
    Such a wee lad, are you, Stiyl?
[01:01] ---
    Or perchance you cannot indulge
    yourself to walk alongside me?
[01:07] ---
    Laura Stuart, may I ask you a question?
[01:10] ---
    How rigid of you. What is it?
[01:12] ---
    Why is it that you speak in
    such a ridiculous manner as you do?
[01:18] ---
    Eh?
[01:20] ---
    Uh, huh? Is it strange?
[01:23] ---
    I even went and checked
    with an actual Japanese person!
[01:26] ---
    And who exactly would that be?
[01:29] ---
    Someone named Tsuchimikado Motoharu.
[01:32] ---
    Please, don't take him to
    be a standard Japanese person.
[01:43] ---
    A communications talisman?
[01:45] ---
    You know of the name
    "The Book of the Law" right?
[01:48] ---
    The grimoire name?
    Its author, as I recall,
[01:52] ---
    is Edward Alexander.
    The original text is said to be
[01:55] ---
    in the Roman Orthodox
    Church's Vatican Library.
[01:59] ---
    However, it is said
    that no one can decipher it.
[02:02] ---
    Not even the List of Prohibited Books,
[02:05] ---
    who has memorized the 103,000 volumes.
[02:08] ---
    What if someone who can decipher
    "The Book of the Law" came forward?
[02:12] ---
    What?!
[02:16] ---
    Shh!
[02:18] ---
    This person is said to be a Roman
    Orthodox nun, named Orsola Aquinas.
[02:24] ---
    You mean, "The Book of the Law"
[02:26] ---
    has become an instrument
    in the power struggle?
[02:27] ---
    It's all right. Not yet, at least.
[02:33] ---
    "The Book of the Law" and Orsola Aquinas--
[02:36] ---
    the two of them have reportedly
    been made off with together.
[02:40] ---
    Shall we discuss the matter
    in greater detail inside?

    "#02 The Book of the Law"
[04:19] ---
    Second term is a busy one.
[04:22] ---
    With the Daihasei Festival,
    the Ichihanaran Festival,
[04:25] ---
    the Arts Appreciation Festival,
    and the Field Trip Festival,
[04:27] ---
    it's a festival-apalooza, you know?
[04:31] ---
    Ah! Sphinx, are you okay?
[04:34] ---
    Still, I've got nothing to do!
    I'm bored! It's no fun!
[04:37] ---
    Toma doesn't ever play with me!
[04:40] ---
    Kamijo Toma must have
    Kamijo Toma's own reasons.
[04:44] ---
    It's not as though he's tied up
    with school because he wants to be.
[04:49] ---
    Maika, how come *you're
    *not tied up with school?
[04:54] ---
    I'm the exception.
[04:56] ---
    The fundamentals of a maid's
    studies are practical, after all.
[05:00] ---
    Well, I'll become a maid, too!
[05:03] ---
    Then maybe I'll go visit Toma's class.
[05:07] ---
    Hmm... a maid has a tough road to follow.
[05:10] ---
    It's too hard for a girl who
    has zero housekeeping skills.
[05:15] ---
    Ah! Then, I'll make Toma a maid!
[05:20] ---
    Then, maybe I'll have Toma come visit!
[05:23] ---
    You'd be kind not to say
    what you just said to Kamijo Toma.
[05:30] ---
    Mm-hmm, you're right.
[05:36] ---
    I'm sorry,
[05:39] ---
    but there's no time
    for you to become a maid,
[05:41] ---
    nor for you to make him a maid.
[05:47] ---
    "The Daihasei Festival is coming soon"
[05:49] ---
    "The Daihasei Festival--
[05:51] ---
    a giant field day that all of
    Academy City's schools take part in.
[05:55] ---
    Its purpose is to observe the
    large-scale interaction of espers.
[06:00] ---
    It is the one day that the
    full-strength use of abilities is urged."
[06:12] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma,
[06:14] ---
    have lost my memories
    due to certain circumstances...
[06:18] ---
    ...and I do not even remember
    an event as big as this one.
[06:35] ---
    Now then,
[06:36] ---
    what should we have for dinner?
[06:38] ---
    K-K-Kamijo Toma!
[06:46] ---
    It's an emergency!
[06:48] ---
    The silver-haired Sister
    has been taken away by someone!
[06:52] ---
    Huh?
[06:52] ---
    I'm telling you, kidnapping! Abduction!
[06:56] ---
    Just a second. What do you mean?
[06:58] ---
    The kidnapper gave me
    this for when you came home.
[07:05] ---
    "Kamijo Toma...
[07:07] ---
    ...If you value her life,
[07:10] ---
    come to the site of the abandoned
    playhouse "Twilight Theater"
[07:12] ---
    outside of Academy City
    tonight at 7:00. Come alone."
[07:17] ---
    So then, tell me what
    this dumbass looked like.
[07:20] ---
    Uh... first of all,
    he was over 180cm tall.
[07:24] ---
    His hair was a deep red, and he
    had a barcode under his right eye.
[07:29] ---
    He had a cigarette in his mouth,
    and lots of piercings in his ears.
[07:32] ---
    Uh, it's okay, Maika.
[07:34] ---
    This criminal is someone
    Index and I both know.
[07:36] ---
    The criminal is someone you know?!
[07:38] ---
    Is love gone wrong the motive?!
[07:41] ---
    Uh, no... not the way you mean.
[07:46] ---
    "Exit Pass"
[07:48] ---
    An exit... pass?
[07:53] ---
    I believe you understand
    the situation now.
[07:57] ---
    Mm-hmm. "The Book of the Law"
    has been taken away by someone,
[08:01] ---
    and the one who can decipher it,
    Orsola Aquinas, has been taken, too.
[08:06] ---
    The culprit appears
    to be the Amakusa Church.
[08:12] ---
    How did they get it out of
    the drum-tight Vatican Library?
[08:17] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church
    was moving the Book of the Law
[08:20] ---
    to a museum in Japan.
[08:22] ---
    This is absurd!
    Something as dangerous as that?!
[08:26] ---
    So, is the Roman Orthodox
    Church sounding out
[08:29] ---
    the English Puritan Church for assistance?
[08:32] ---
    No. More importantly,
    something unpleasant has come up.
[08:36] ---
    What is it?
[08:39] ---
    We cannot reach Kanzaki Kaori.
[08:43] ---
    Kanzaki was once the
    head of the Amakusa Church.
[08:47] ---
    If she finds out that Amakusa
[08:48] ---
    is at odds with the
    Roman Orthodox Church...
[08:51] ---
    I would like to have this resolved
    before Kanzaki steps in it.
[08:57] ---
    I do not care what methods you use.
[09:01] ---
    Kanzaki is one of not even
    twenty saints in the whole world.
[09:07] ---
    You don't mean,
[09:08] ---
    you want me to fight Kanzaki?
[09:10] ---
    If the situation calls for it.
[09:13] ---
    Go contact Academy City for me.
[09:18] ---
    Stiyl, take this with you.
[09:26] ---
    What is this?
[09:27] ---
    I suppose you might call it
    a modest little gift for Orsola.
[09:34] ---
    The List of Prohibited Books...
[09:37] ---
    We're going to need a specialist, right?
[09:44] ---
    Why are you dragging Toma into this?
[09:47] ---
    I don't know. Why should
    I have to deal with that guy?
[09:51] ---
    So then, are we going to
    the Amakusa's main headquarters?
[09:54] ---
    No, the situation has changed somewhat.
[10:08] ---
    Damn...
[10:10] ---
    Where is this "Twilight Theater"?
[10:15] ---
    I don't know anywhere
    outside of Academy City.
[10:24] ---
    A Sister...?
[10:27] ---
    She couldn't be someone
    who knows Index, could she?
[10:32] ---
    Pardon me...
[10:34] ---
    Yes? What is it?
[10:36] ---
    Is this the right bus to get
    on if I'm headed to Academy City?
[10:42] ---
    Academy City?
[10:43] ---
    No, there are no buses
    going to Academy City.
[10:47] ---
    Huh?
[10:48] ---
    And not just buses.
[10:50] ---
    All modes of transportation
    from outside have been discontinued.
[10:52] ---
    There's a gate over there,
    so if you'll walk over to it...
[10:59] ---
    Thank you for taking
    the trouble to help me out.
[11:02] ---
    I said not to get on the bus!
[11:04] ---
    Oh, right. So you did.
[11:08] ---
    Like I said, walk over there
    and go in through the gate. Got it?
[11:13] ---
    I am sorry to have bothered you.
[11:16] ---
    Y-Yeah... Huh?
[11:19] ---
    Hey, you! You just smiled at
    me and pretended to listen, huh?!
[11:29] ---
    You look like there
    is something upsetting you.
[11:33] ---
    Oh, no, it's nothing.
[11:38] ---
    Pardon me for saying so,
    but you are sweating an awful lot.
[11:43] ---
    Th-Thank you! B-By the way,
    why do you want to go to Academy City?
[11:51] ---
    Well, as it happens, I...
[11:55] ---
    ...am being pursued.
[11:57] ---
    Huh? Pursued?
[12:01] ---
    The situation is a mess.
[12:04] ---
    Our information is
    becoming snarled, too.
[12:06] ---
    We don't even know whether or
    not the Book of the Law is secure.
[12:10] ---
    I should introduce myself first.
[12:12] ---
    I am Agnese Sanctis,
    of the Roman Orthodox Church.
[12:17] ---
    Indeed. So, how is the
    Amakusa group proceeding?
[12:23] ---
    Actually, we haven't
    precisely analyzed it ourselves.
[12:27] ---
    One of Amakusa's distinctive
    features is their secrecy.
[12:31] ---
    Amakusa doesn't use overt
    incantations or magical arrays.
[12:35] ---
    All of their rituals and processes
[12:37] ---
    are concealed within
    normal mannerisms or behaviors,
[12:41] ---
    so not even a professional
    magician can tell who they are.
[12:47] ---
    Hmph, troublesome bunch.
[12:49] ---
    Ah, it's Toma!
[12:55] ---
    Orsola Aquinas?!
[12:55] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:00] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:04] ---
    What's the big idea?!
[13:05] ---
    Why did you pretend to kidnap her?
[13:08] ---
    Oh, the secret's out?
[13:11] ---
    You see, we needed your help to
    find someone who has gone missing.
[13:15] ---
    Find someone?
[13:16] ---
    Yeah, it's all right, it's all right.
[13:19] ---
    If you'll just turn the Sister
    standing next to you over to us...
[13:23] ---
    Huh?
[13:24] ---
    You see...
[13:26] ---
    ...that Sister there is our
    missing person, Orsola Aquinas.
[13:31] ---
    Right then, good work.
    You're free to go now.
[13:36] ---
    Um, what do I get for
    walking around out in the sun?
[13:41] ---
    I told you, you did good work, didn't I?
[13:43] ---
    What, do you want me to buy
    you a shaved ice, or something?
[13:47] ---
    Look, up to now,
[13:49] ---
    I've tried to get along with you,
    even knowing we don't hit it off.
[13:54] ---
    Yeah, right up until this moment!
[13:58] ---
    By any chance, are you
    asking for more attention?
[14:01] ---
    Unfortunately, I can't soothe
    your loneliness, nor do I want to.
[14:06] ---
    Now turn over Orsola to Agnese at once.
[14:10] ---
    Come to think of it, you said you
    were being pursued by someone.
[14:14] ---
    What's the matter, Orsola?
[14:16] ---
    Oh, no, I can't have you
    handing her over so easily.
[14:21] ---
    Orsola Aquinas,
[14:23] ---
    rather than returning to
    the Roman Orthodox Church,
[14:26] ---
    you will live a more meaningful
    life with us among the Amakusa.
[14:31] ---
    Amakusa?!
[14:35] ---
    Orsola!
[14:37] ---
    You can't, Toma!
[14:41] ---
    In my hand, flame.
[14:44] ---
    Its form, a sword. Its purpose...
[14:49] ---
    Looks like I'm too late.
[14:57] ---
    Hey, Stiyl, you're going to
    explain all this from the top, right?
[15:01] ---
    An explanation?
[15:03] ---
    That's something I wish I had.
[15:10] ---
    "Theater of the Arts"
    "Twilight Theater"
[15:11] ---
    The Book of the Law
[15:13] ---
    is a grimoire written in a code
    that no one in the world can break.
[15:17] ---
    It's said that if it ever were deciphered,
[15:20] ---
    one could obtain absolute power.
[15:23] ---
    Tell me...
[15:25] ---
    ...is it really all that valuable?
[15:27] ---
    They even say that if it is ever used,
[15:29] ---
    it would mean the end of the world
[15:32] ---
    ruled by the church of the cross as it is now.
[15:34] ---
    Why not just burn the book?
[15:36] ---
    Grimoires are books that cannot be burned.
[15:39] ---
    It's all that can be done
    just to keep them sealed.
[15:48] ---
    Oh, um... I'd like to
    explain what is going on,
[15:53] ---
    so if you're ready--
[15:57] ---
    Toma!
[16:13] ---
    Hey! No! Stop! Get away!
[16:16] ---
    Toma!
[16:17] ---
    I think that goes beyond mere teasing!
[16:21] ---
    Stop getting frisky while we're working!
[16:26] ---
    At present, Orsola Aquinas
    is definitely in Amakusa hands.
[16:33] ---
    It is estimated that the number
    of Amakusa involved in this incident
[16:36] ---
    is less than fifty.
[16:38] ---
    There is also the possibility
    that they are now above ground.
[16:41] ---
    In other words,
    we don't know anything, do we?
[16:44] ---
    Going from the traces of
    magical power left,
[16:46] ---
    we are tracking
    Amakusa's tendencies...
[16:49] ---
    Amakusa is a group that
    specializes in hiding and fleeing.
[16:53] ---
    It will not be easy to catch them.
[16:55] ---
    Still, there is no way
    they can break out of our net.
[16:59] ---
    Their specialized transfer technique,
[17:01] ---
    "Microcosmic Pilgrimage."
[17:04] ---
    It's a process that is limited
    to use within Japan, though.
[17:07] ---
    Put simply, using map magic,
[17:09] ---
    there are forty-seven specialized
    vortices across Japan,
[17:12] ---
    and they can freely
    come and go between them.
[17:16] ---
    If they send her through
    a vortex, it's all over.
[17:19] ---
    What are we just standing around for?!
[17:21] ---
    Because there is no need to hurry.
[17:23] ---
    Huh?
[17:24] ---
    Microcosmic Pilgrimages are greatly
    affected by the movement of stars.
[17:29] ---
    They can only use their
    specialized movement at certain times.
[17:33] ---
    The restriction on their
    use of the transport technique
[17:36] ---
    won't be lifted until just after midnight,
[17:38] ---
    so we still have about four
    and a half hours to work with.
[17:41] ---
    Also... Toma, can I borrow
    your gizmo with the map?
[17:45] ---
    Oh, sure...
[17:50] ---
    There.
[17:52] ---
    There is only one vortex
    they can use within our network.
[17:57] ---
    Right here.
[18:04] ---
    Well then...
[18:06] ---
    ...is there anything I can do to help?
[18:09] ---
    And after I deliberately told you
[18:12] ---
    to check and double-check!
[18:14] ---
    Right, I'm sorry.
[18:16] ---
    Looks like Sisters
    have their troubles, too.
[18:23] ---
    This must be Index's tent.
[18:27] ---
    Huh? She's not here.
[18:29] ---
    Geez, where did she go--
[18:33] ---
    Over there?!
[18:35] ---
    Damn it!
[18:37] ---
    Index!
[18:39] ---
    The Amakusa!
[18:46] ---
    H-Hang on...
[18:48] ---
    Over there, over there...
[18:53] ---
    Oh, it's just a slug, isn't it?
[18:57] ---
    A-A slug...?
[18:59] ---
    H-Hey!
[19:00] ---
    Get hold of yourself!
[19:02] ---
    Toma?
[19:12] ---
    N-No, I... was sure that the
    Amakusa were attacking... and...
[19:24] ---
    Eh?
[19:25] ---
    H-Hold on! Take it easy, Index!
[19:32] ---
    This isn't like you!
[19:35] ---
    Normally, this isn't
    what you'd do, right?
[19:38] ---
    You usually just go ahead and...
[19:46] ---
    Hey, Stiyl...
[19:49] ---
    What? I'm extremely irritated right now.
[19:53] ---
    Got any girls that you like?
[19:56] ---
    Well, Stiyl?
[19:59] ---
    I have respect
    for Queen Elizabeth I,
[20:02] ---
    and my taste in women
    is along the lines of St. Martha.
[20:07] ---
    The Amakusa Church is that one, right?
[20:10] ---
    The one Kanzaki Kaori was in before?
[20:12] ---
    Who told you that? Tsuchimikado?
[20:15] ---
    If that's so, then the
    Amakusa are friends of Kanzaki's right?
[20:20] ---
    Even so, you're gonna fight them?
[20:24] ---
    Yes, I am.
[20:26] ---
    You see, I've made up my mind
    to do anything to protect that girl.
[20:31] ---
    As such, I will kill
    anyone. I'll burn them alive.
[20:35] ---
    And I'll keep burning up their corpse.
[20:38] ---
    I swore that a long time ago.
[20:41] ---
    Even supposing she
    has forgotten everything,
[20:44] ---
    I haven't forgotten a single thing.
[20:46] ---
    "I will live and die for you."
[20:52] ---
    Go to sleep now.
[21:02] ---
    Stiyl?
[21:04] ---
    No, it isn't, which means...
[21:07] ---
    H-Hey, hold on, Index...!
[21:11] ---
    What, Toma?
[21:14] ---
    Huh? Agnese?!
[21:17] ---
    Papa...
[21:18] ---
    Papa?
[21:25] ---
    It's a dream...
[21:27] ---
    This is a dream, so no matter
    how much I bite Toma, it's okay...
[21:32] ---
    I can work out all of the
    day's displeasures, and it's okay...!
[21:37] ---
    J-Just a minute, Index.
    This is without any doubt real life!
[21:42] ---
    Just my luck!
[21:59] ---
    Your Holiness...
[22:02] ---
    All preparations for the
    Microcosmic Pilgrimage are complete.
[22:06] ---
    Now then...
[22:10] ---
    Kanzaki Kaori,
    let me show you something--
[22:14] ---
    the current shape of
    the multilateral compound
[22:19] ---
    integrated church of
    the cross, the Amakusa Church!

[23:55] ---
    We head to the vortex, together with the Roman Orthodox Church.
[23:58] ---
    After a fierce fight,
    Tatemiya Saiji reveals a bombshell truth.
[24:02] ---
    And as for Orsola...
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "The Amakusa Church."
[24:06] ---
    When science and magic cross

[00:35] ---
    We located the main Amakusa
    force in Parallel Sweets Park.
[00:40] ---
    However, we were unable to find
    the Book of the Law, or Orsola.
[00:44] ---
    You don't think that Orsola has been...
[00:48] ---
    The Amakusa's first objective
[00:50] ---
    is to have Orsola tell them how
    to decipher the Book of the Law.
[00:53] ---
    As long as they are fixated
    on the Book of the Law,
[00:56] ---
    Orsola will conversely be safe.
[00:58] ---
    Okay.
[01:00] ---
    We will act as a decoy,
    and charge the Amakusa head-on.
[01:04] ---
    Meanwhile, you will
    search inside the park,
[01:07] ---
    and if you're able to identify
    the Book of the Law or Orsola,
[01:10] ---
    please take them into custody.
[01:12] ---
    Unless we destroy the vortex
    for their special transport method,
[01:15] ---
    they may be able
    to get away with Orsola.
[01:17] ---
    We cannot destroy the vortex
    itself until it opens at 00:00 hours.
[01:22] ---
    The vortex's effective time,
    which is to say, our time limit,
[01:25] ---
    is only five minutes, right?
[01:27] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[01:28] ---
    If 00:05 hours passes,
    and you haven't found them,
[01:31] ---
    please get out of there.
[01:33] ---
    After we have neutralized the Amakusa,
[01:36] ---
    we will personally search the park ourselves.
[01:39] ---
    Searching for the Book of the Law,
    Orsola, and destroying the vortex...
[01:44] ---
    Sounds like we'll be
    on quite a tight schedule.
[02:01] ---
    This is unforgivable.
[02:03] ---
    The church of the
    cross's original purpose
[02:06] ---
    was to help others,
    and that is how it spread.
[02:09] ---
    But to turn that around, and use
    force to do something like this...
[02:34] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[02:38] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[02:43] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[02:47] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[02:53] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[02:58] ---
    But the angel continued to smile in discernment
[03:09] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[03:14] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[03:19] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[03:25] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[03:32] ---
    No buts!
[03:52] ---
    Hey, Stiyl...
[03:54] ---
    What?
[03:55] ---
    Do you think we can really finish
    our whole job in the time we have?
[04:00] ---
    Honestly, it will be tight.
[04:04] ---
    The truth is, there's one piece
    of information that I did not give
[04:06] ---
    to the Roman Orthodox Church.
[04:08] ---
    Huh?
[04:10] ---
    Kanzaki Kaori is supposed to
    be in England, but she vanished.
[04:13] ---
    Kanzaki?
[04:15] ---
    She's probably acting out of concern
[04:17] ---
    for her one-time subordinates--
    I mean, colleagues.
[04:20] ---
    If Amakusa is trying
    to inflict critical damage,
[04:24] ---
    that saint of theirs
    may come attacking.
[04:27] ---
    So don't go believing we will
    successfully finish our whole job.
[04:30] ---
    Then...
[04:33] ---
    Then, Orsola is our top priority?
[04:37] ---
    It doesn't make any difference.
    Without someone to decode it,
[04:41] ---
    the Book of the Law
    is of no worldly use.
[04:44] ---
    I think that works, too.
[04:46] ---
    I've decided to barge in, too,
    even if you say I can't come, Toma.
[04:50] ---
    There's already so few of us as it is,
[04:52] ---
    so we're going to
    have to stick together, huh?
[04:55] ---
    All right.
[04:57] ---
    Thanks, man.
[04:59] ---
    Don't say anything
    so disgustingly dispiriting
[05:01] ---
    just before we charge in there!
[05:05] ---
    The diversion has begun.
[05:06] ---
    Let's go.
[05:19] ---
    Get down!
[05:27] ---
    Kamijo Toma!
[05:29] ---
    Take this!
[05:31] ---
    What is it?
[05:32] ---
    If you want to stay alive,
    carry that on your person!
[05:34] ---
    Huh? Whoa!
[05:36] ---
    Toma!
[05:44] ---
    Stiyl! Index!
[05:46] ---
    Wait, if we're running away,
[05:48] ---
    don't we usually need
    to decide on a signal first?
[05:51] ---
    What, have I ended
    up as the decoy again?!
[06:12] ---
    Why would Stiyl give me this?
[06:49] ---
    Are Index and Stiyl all right?
[06:52] ---
    Where on earth is Orsola?
[07:07] ---
    Orsola?
[07:14] ---
    Ah! You are the one
    I met at the bus stop.
[07:18] ---
    Why are you someplace
    as dangerous as this?
[07:21] ---
    Because I came
    to rescue you, of course.
[07:23] ---
    Huh? Um, are you really here to
    rescue a complete stranger like me?
[07:29] ---
    Yeah.
[07:31] ---
    Without any regard
    for the Book of the Law?
[07:33] ---
    I don't care what happens
    to that information.
[07:36] ---
    That is, do I look like
    the sort of curiosity seeker
[07:39] ---
    who would come to a place
    like this for some old book?
[07:42] ---
    Oh... then thank you for your kindness.
[07:47] ---
    Be that as it may,
    what are you doing here?
[07:50] ---
    Oh, yes...
[07:52] ---
    I took advantage of the confusion
    and managed to slip out somehow.
[07:57] ---
    Hmm...
[08:05] ---
    Th-Thank you very much.
    But how did you do that?
[08:11] ---
    Hmm, that's just
    the sort of ability I have...
[08:16] ---
    It will just complicate things,
    so I'll skip the awkward explanation.
[08:23] ---
    She couldn't have gotten far. Find her.
[08:31] ---
    It sounds like they're looking for you.
[08:33] ---
    Uh-huh.
[08:35] ---
    Word is that they can't use
    their special transport method
[08:38] ---
    before 12:05, so I guess we
    can hang out here until time is up.
[08:42] ---
    Oh my...
[08:47] ---
    You could catch
    yourself a summer cold.
[08:51] ---
    Oh, yeah...
[08:54] ---
    Incidentally, are you involved
    with the Roman Orthodox Church?
[08:58] ---
    Well, I do have a
    friend who's English Puritan.
[09:02] ---
    Then you are saying that
    you are not Roman Orthodox,
[09:05] ---
    but are tied to the
    English Puritans instead?
[09:08] ---
    N-No, I wouldn't say that.
[09:14] ---
    Yes, indeed. A gentleman such
    as yourself is obviously better off
[09:21] ---
    not being involved in
    the church world, like we are.
[09:25] ---
    Hmm... I guess I couldn't help
    but carry something like this, though.
[09:31] ---
    My! Did you get that
    from your English Puritan friend?
[09:35] ---
    Mm-hmm. You can
    hold onto it, if you'd like.
[09:38] ---
    I don't know what it's worth, myself.
[09:41] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[09:43] ---
    Yeah.
[09:46] ---
    I have just one favor to ask of you!
[09:48] ---
    W-What?
[09:50] ---
    Would you mind personally
    placing this around my neck?
[09:55] ---
    N-No, I don't mind.
[10:10] ---
    Whatever is the matter?
[10:12] ---
    N-Nothing at all.
[10:33] ---
    Come to think of it, I hear you know
    how to read the Book of the Law.
[10:38] ---
    Not so much how to read it as
    how to decipher its cryptography--
[10:43] ---
    Huh? Oh, no, no!
[10:45] ---
    I was just wondering why you
    were investigating the Book of the Law.
[10:49] ---
    It's a pretty dangerous book, right?
[10:53] ---
    It is because I wanted power.
    That much is without a doubt.
[10:58] ---
    But the power of a grimoire
    brings happiness to no one.
[11:03] ---
    The only thing it gives rise
    to is the conflict concerning it.
[11:10] ---
    As such, I wanted to investigate
    the grimoire's workings,
[11:13] ---
    so that I would know how to destroy it.
[11:23] ---
    Stiyl!
[11:25] ---
    What are you... doing...?
[11:27] ---
    Hurry... and get out of here...!
[11:33] ---
    What are you doing,
    English Puritan priest?
[11:38] ---
    Well? Where has your
    British gentleman's pride gone?
[11:42] ---
    Let me, Tatemiya Saiji, see it.
[11:44] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:50] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:53] ---
    That won't do. The way you fight,
[11:56] ---
    you can't even defend a single girl.
[12:06] ---
    You were protecting Index?
[12:08] ---
    Don't make too much out of it.
[12:11] ---
    Orsola Aquinas is
    in custody. And, like always,
[12:15] ---
    it's hard to judge whether
    your luck is a blessing or not.
[12:19] ---
    Like I've explained
    to you again and again,
[12:22] ---
    Orsola Aquinas, we have no
    intention of bringing harm to you.
[12:27] ---
    Indeed, I am aware that
    your words were filled with hope.
[12:33] ---
    I do not believe in
    a peace that is professed
[12:37] ---
    while weapons are being brandished.
[12:39] ---
    What a shame.
[12:41] ---
    You have little choice but to return
    to the Roman Orthodox Church.
[12:47] ---
    Hmph, unarmed, are you?
[12:50] ---
    Did you take that sword from Uragami?
[12:54] ---
    If you mean your subordinate,
    she's lying over there.
[12:57] ---
    The back of her head was
    protected, so she's not dead.
[13:00] ---
    Merely not being dead isn't enough.
    Are you mocking me?!
[13:06] ---
    If you're the sort of person who
    is still there fighting for someone,
[13:10] ---
    then would you put your sword away?
[13:12] ---
    If possible, I don't want to
    have to fight someone like you.
[13:16] ---
    I wish like crazy that I could do that.
[13:19] ---
    Our enemy is the Roman Orthodox
    Church, but if you have ties to them,
[13:25] ---
    then I cannot turn a blind
    eye to the English Puritans!
[13:28] ---
    Don't think it will be that easy.
[13:30] ---
    You're gonna make me unhappy,
    looking down at me like that, you know.
[13:34] ---
    But if we must fight,
    there's no other choice.
[13:38] ---
    Today is your last day to live!
[13:52] ---
    He vanished?!
[13:58] ---
    Magic, huh? In that case...
[13:59] ---
    No! You're wrong,
    Toma! It's not magic--
[14:03] ---
    Stay back, Index!
[14:05] ---
    Primordial flame, whose meaning
    is light, give me your sword,
[14:08] ---
    whose gentle warmth protects,
    and who bestows fierce judgment!
[14:15] ---
    He moved?! Then it is magic!
[14:20] ---
    Toma!
[14:25] ---
    Do it!
[14:27] ---
    Do it with me here, Stiyl!
[14:37] ---
    My basic antishock
    methods are already in place.
[14:40] ---
    All I need to be
    wary of is the flame sword.
[14:43] ---
    Now to compose my technique...
[15:26] ---
    Toma, Toma, are you all right?
[15:28] ---
    You're not hurt anywhere?
    Do you feel pain anywhere?
[15:31] ---
    No, not really.
[15:34] ---
    Really? Is it really nothing serious?
[15:36] ---
    I'm fine. I'm fine, I say!
[15:41] ---
    Okay, good.
[15:43] ---
    That means...
[15:44] ---
    Eh?
[15:45] ---
    Now I can bite your
    head as much as I like.
[15:52] ---
    --Just who do you think you are, Toma?!
    --Wait! Wait! All right!
[15:54] ---
    --Going after a genuine magician with a huge sword...
    --This time, I admit that I, Kamijo Toma,
[15:57] ---
    --Going after a genuine magician with a huge sword...
    --was wrong on all counts! Ee-yow!
[16:04] ---
    Toma, you idiot. You daredevil.
[16:06] ---
    U-Um, Miss Index...?
[16:10] ---
    It's quiet, huh?
[16:13] ---
    It's hard to believe that so many
    people are running wild, isn't it?
[16:17] ---
    You're right.
[16:18] ---
    Hey...
[16:19] ---
    I hate to ask, but could you take these off?
[16:23] ---
    I can't just leave her by herself like this.
[16:27] ---
    Huh? What are you saying?
[16:29] ---
    Tell me, do you know what kind of treatment
[16:32] ---
    she is going to get
    from them after this is over?
[16:35] ---
    Huh?
[16:36] ---
    No, Toma, don't listen to him.
    This man uses words as weapons.
[16:41] ---
    She's gonna be killed!
[16:45] ---
    Listen, do not turn her over
    to the Roman Orthodox Church.
[16:49] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church's
    true purpose is to kill her, you know.
[16:53] ---
    You're the ones
    who carried Orsola off, right?
[16:56] ---
    Not to mention stole the Book of the Law!
[16:58] ---
    We did not steal the Book of the Law.
[17:01] ---
    Huh?
[17:03] ---
    If the power of the
    Book of the Law is used,
[17:05] ---
    the age of the church of the
    cross's rule will end that very day.
[17:10] ---
    As such, do you think
    we of the Amakusa church,
[17:14] ---
    who are specialists in remaining hidden,
[17:15] ---
    would want to obtain
    such a conspicuous power?
[17:19] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church would.
[17:21] ---
    You wouldn't think that they,
[17:22] ---
    the largest sect of
    the church of the cross,
[17:24] ---
    would want the church of the
    cross to come to an end, would you?
[17:28] ---
    They have secretly decided
    to eliminate Orsola Aquinas.
[17:32] ---
    She also became aware of that,
    and came to the Amakusa for help.
[17:37] ---
    In other words,
    the Book of the Law being stolen
[17:40] ---
    is all just an act being put
    on by the Roman Orthodox Church.
[17:44] ---
    No. I still don't believe you.
[17:47] ---
    Why not?
[17:49] ---
    Supposing that everything
    you told me is true,
[17:52] ---
    then why did Orsola
    run away from you?
[18:01] ---
    You're the same.
[18:02] ---
    The same?
[18:04] ---
    Right up to the very end,
    she wasn't able to believe us, either.
[18:10] ---
    She said that we would seek the method
[18:12] ---
    of decoding the Book
    of the Law as a quid pro quo.
[18:15] ---
    Then, for what reason
    would you help Orsola?
[18:18] ---
    There is no reason.
[18:20] ---
    There was never one to begin with.
[18:23] ---
    There was no reason?
[18:26] ---
    We've gazed at the Priestess--
    at her for a long time now.
[18:32] ---
    Which is precisely why
    we haven't strayed from the path,
[18:35] ---
    haven't been mistaken in
    the use of our force,
[18:38] ---
    and have been led in the right direction.
[18:42] ---
    Priestess? You mean Kanzaki?
[18:44] ---
    Yeah. However,
[18:47] ---
    we have destroyed all of her ways.
[19:05] ---
    Our deaths--our immaturity
    grieved the Priestess.
[19:11] ---
    We must offer her a return to her place.
[19:17] ---
    That is why we extended our hand
    to Orsola Aquinas as she sought help.
[19:25] ---
    Or... sola...
[19:28] ---
    Did you say that
    you were entrusting her
[19:30] ---
    to the Roman Orthodox Church?
[19:32] ---
    Not being Roman Orthodox,
    she put her trust in you, didn't she?
[19:38] ---
    Damn!
[19:39] ---
    Don't be hasty!
[19:42] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church
    cannot kill Orsola here and now.
[19:47] ---
    What?
[19:48] ---
    Given our situation,
    I will no longer ask
[19:52] ---
    whether or not you believe us.
[19:54] ---
    Promise me that you
    will take Orsola Aquinas
[19:57] ---
    back from the Roman Orthodox Church,
[19:59] ---
    and lead her someplace where
    neither they nor we can reach her.
[20:12] ---
    We are here to take charge of
    the heretic mastermind.
[20:16] ---
    Are you the enemy of God?
[20:19] ---
    Hey, just a second.
[20:22] ---
    What is it?
[20:23] ---
    I want to see Orsola's face one more time.
[20:27] ---
    Unfortunately, I must decline.
[20:30] ---
    That scream a moment ago--that
    was Orsola's voice, wasn't it?
[20:33] ---
    Where's Agnese? She's over there, right?
[20:38] ---
    Toma!
[20:46] ---
    S-Sister Lucia!
[20:48] ---
    We were told not to have
    any casual contact with the guests!
[20:51] ---
    Keep quiet, Sister Angelene!
[20:53] ---
    Damn you heathen, placing your
    festering hand on my shoulder...
[20:56] ---
    my shoulder... my shoulder...
    my shoulder!
[20:59] ---
    Nothing feels worse!
    Shall I say the Amakusa there resisted,
[21:03] ---
    and have him
    end up killing the rest of you?
[21:05] ---
    In the meantime, once
    we silence the other Amakusa...
[21:11] ---
    Toma!
[21:14] ---
    Sister Angelene...
[21:16] ---
    R-Right!
[21:18] ---
    Come forth, one
    of the twelve Apostles,
[21:20] ---
    publican, smiter of magicians,
    and humble servant!
[21:28] ---
    Index!
[21:30] ---
    Damn!
[21:31] ---
    You should worry more about yourself!
[21:34] ---
    Worry that you will be
    called home without any pain!
[21:39] ---
    Sister Angelene! Are you...
[21:42] ---
    N-No! It wasn't me!
[21:45] ---
    CTRTTOP, AO!
[21:55] ---
    Pretty sloppy! You don't
    pay any mind to external matters,
[21:59] ---
    which makes it easy to take control!
[22:01] ---
    Spell Intercept?!
[22:04] ---
    The order to retreat?
[22:06] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[22:09] ---
    R-Right!
[22:14] ---
    Now you see, right?
[22:16] ---
    This is how the greatest sect
    in the church of the cross,
[22:19] ---
    the Roman Orthodox Church,
    acts behind the scenes!
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[23:07] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:31] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    Enemy of God? Magicians' issues?
[23:58] ---
    Are those any reasons to give up?
[24:00] ---
    No matter what--no matter what,
    I will help Orsola out.
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "Sheol Fear."
[24:06] ---
    When science and magic cross
    paths, the story begins.

    "#04 Sheol Fear (Voice of the Magicbane)"
[03:04] ---
    Even if everything the man says is true,
[03:08] ---
    they are unlikely to kill
    Orsola Aquinas right away.
[03:12] ---
    They have their own
    circumstances to deal with.
[03:15] ---
    Circumstances such as what?
[03:17] ---
    The deciphering
    of the Book of the Law
[03:19] ---
    poses a threat to
    the Roman Orthodox Church,
[03:21] ---
    but Orsola Aquinas
    is not guilty of anything.
[03:24] ---
    "Thou shalt not kill those
    who believe the teachings of God."
[03:28] ---
    Then, why were the Amakusa trying
    to prevent Orsola's assassination?
[03:33] ---
    Because there is an exception.
[03:35] ---
    "Thou shalt not kill those
    who believe the teachings of God."
[03:39] ---
    If they conform to this rule,
[03:41] ---
    it becomes okay to kill a person
    who is expelled from the church,
[03:45] ---
    as someone who does not
    believe the teachings of God.
[03:49] ---
    In other words, she's going to
    be labeled as an enemy of God.
[03:56] ---
    The power of a grimoire
    brings happiness to no one.
[04:01] ---
    The only thing it gives rise
    to is the conflict concerning it.
[04:08] ---
    Screw that!
[04:09] ---
    Unfortunately, it's already over.
    There's nothing more we can do.
[04:15] ---
    What does that mean?!
    What do you take a person's life for?!
[04:19] ---
    This is nothing more than
    the Roman Orthodox Church
[04:22] ---
    trying a case that happened
    among them by their own rules.
[04:25] ---
    Or would you like to start
    a war in order to save her?
[04:32] ---
    Well...
[04:34] ---
    Ah, young man,
    don't be so depressed.
[04:38] ---
    Even if the English Puritans have
    no reason to fight, we have plenty.
[04:43] ---
    I'll just drop on
    over at those guys' base,
[04:46] ---
    and as long as I'm
    rescuing my own numbskulls,
[04:48] ---
    I can save Sister Orsola, as well.
[04:50] ---
    Don't tell me you're thinking of going alone.
[04:55] ---
    If that's my only choice,
    then that's what I'll do.
[05:08] ---
    I guess that settles that.
[05:11] ---
    Let's split up and go into hiding, too.
[05:14] ---
    You take Index with you back to Academy City.
[05:17] ---
    All right.
[05:18] ---
    Oh...
[05:20] ---
    Also, there's one
    thing I wanted to ask you.
[05:23] ---
    What's that?
[05:24] ---
    That crucifix that I gave you before--
[05:27] ---
    you don't appear to have it now, do you?
[05:30] ---
    Oh, sorry. I let Orsola
    hold it, and she still has it.
[05:34] ---
    I hope it wasn't too expensive.
[05:38] ---
    No, its value was
    in having you carry it.
[05:42] ---
    But it's okay. After all,
    it's nothing you need right now.
[05:49] ---
    Let's go.
[05:50] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[06:04] ---
    What am I supposed to do now?
[06:07] ---
    Wasn't there anything
    that I could have done, too?
[06:12] ---
    These are all magicians' issues,
[06:14] ---
    so you don't have to
    impose yourself into them, Toma.
[06:17] ---
    Maybe.
[06:18] ---
    Everything else up to
    now has been exceptional.
[06:21] ---
    Nobody can solve every problem
[06:23] ---
    that happens to occur in
    front of them by themselves.
[06:29] ---
    I guess.
[06:43] ---
    Oh, right...
[06:45] ---
    Our refrigerator is empty.
[06:48] ---
    I'll go find a convenience store,
    and buy us something or other.
[06:51] ---
    If you're going to the store,
    maybe we should all go together.
[06:55] ---
    Do you know where it is?
[06:57] ---
    Not really. If I run around there,
    I should find it, though.
[07:20] ---
    Orsola's Church?
[07:21] ---
    Yes. Orsola Aquinas was successful
    in spreading God's teachings
[07:25] ---
    in three different heathen lands,
[07:28] ---
    so she received special permission
    to build a church bearing her name.
[07:33] ---
    I'm sure it's around here someplace.
[07:49] ---
    Sheesh. You know you
    shouldn't make this difficult for us.
[07:54] ---
    Unfortunately, we don't
    have time for your fun and games.
[07:58] ---
    Understand that, and take
    your punishment without any trouble--
[08:02] ---
    Are you listening to me?!
    I said, are you listening to me?! Hey!
[08:11] ---
    I must say, you don't have
    many friends you can rely on, do you?
[08:16] ---
    Imagine, seeking the
    cooperation of the Amakusa
[08:19] ---
    just as soon as you met with them!
[08:22] ---
    The Amakusa, the English Puritans--
[08:24] ---
    it's presumptuous for them to
    even claim to be the church of the cross.
[08:29] ---
    This is what you get for
    trying to turn over your precious life
[08:33] ---
    to the likes of them.
    After just a little conciliation,
[08:36] ---
    they were easily taken in, and good
    enough to bring us our quarry.
[08:40] ---
    Taken... in...?
[08:43] ---
    You mean...
    that you deceived... the others...?
[08:49] ---
    Yeah.
[08:50] ---
    Then it is not that... they worked
    with you... You tricked them?
[08:56] ---
    It doesn't matter either way, does it?!
[08:59] ---
    When you personally deliver
    the one you're supposed to protect
[09:01] ---
    into the hands of the enemy,
    you're beyond any hope!
[09:08] ---
    Is that a fact?
[09:10] ---
    W-What are you smiling about?!
[09:13] ---
    Is that right? Right now, I...
[09:19] ---
    ...am smiling, aren't I?
[09:22] ---
    I have more or less learned my lesson...
[09:26] ---
    ...about what the true nature
    of the Roman Orthodox Church is.
[09:31] ---
    Huh?
[09:33] ---
    They act as a result
    of what they believe.
[09:38] ---
    By believing a person,
    believing a thought, believing a feeling,
[09:43] ---
    they will come flocking
    to you anywhere you go.
[09:48] ---
    By contrast, all we can do
    is act based on what we doubt.
[09:54] ---
    And what an ugly thing that is.
[09:59] ---
    If you want to die so badly,
    then please, do whatever you like!
[10:05] ---
    You can go ahead and die,
[10:08] ---
    thoroughly blaming the
    fools who put you through this!
[10:12] ---
    And just...
[10:13] ---
    ...what should I blame them for?
[10:17] ---
    What?
[10:18] ---
    They never... had any
    reason to fight in the first place.
[10:25] ---
    But even so, they came rushing
    to help me, a complete stranger.
[10:34] ---
    Tell me, can there be any
    more alluring a gift than this,
[10:38] ---
    anywhere in the entire world?
[10:42] ---
    For what reason am
    I to blame the people...
[10:47] ---
    ...who gave me...
    such a magnificent gift as this?
[11:01] ---
    Don't tell me our
    barrier has been breached!
[11:03] ---
    Damn! What organization is it?
[11:21] ---
    Hmph, how could a mere
    amateur do that... or so I wondered.
[11:27] ---
    But you possess something
[11:28] ---
    with an absolute power
    against our barrier, is that it?
[11:33] ---
    Just so I know, tell me,
    are you planning to hoodwink me anymore?
[11:37] ---
    Hoodwink? How so? After seeing
    what is going on, can you not tell?
[11:42] ---
    Geez, it would seem that
    the English Puritans have run away,
[11:47] ---
    but what exactly is it that you want?
[11:49] ---
    Come now, this is your last chance.
[11:52] ---
    You must know what it is
    that you ought to be doing, right?
[11:57] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[11:58] ---
    This is indeed my last chance.
[12:01] ---
    I know that quite well.
[12:03] ---
    In that case...
[12:11] ---
    W-Why, you...!
    What do you think you're doing?!
[12:15] ---
    What I ought to be doing, you say?
    I'll teach you to mess with me!
[12:20] ---
    I'm here to save her, of course!
[12:23] ---
    You are a fascinating one.
[12:26] ---
    How much do you think you alone can do,
    under these circumstances?
[12:30] ---
    Why don't you go ahead and show us?!
[12:43] ---
    For crying out loud.
[12:45] ---
    I wish you wouldn't start without me.
[12:47] ---
    Stiyl!
[12:48] ---
    Th-The English Puritans!
[12:50] ---
    Impossible! This is a matter for
    the Roman Orthodox Church alone!
[12:54] ---
    Don't you see that you are
    interfering in our internal affairs?!
[12:58] ---
    Yeah. Unfortunately,
    that does not apply here.
[13:02] ---
    Look at Orsola Aquinas' chest.
[13:05] ---
    There is an English Puritan
    crucifix hanging there, right?
[13:10] ---
    The act itself of having it
    placed there by someone means
[13:13] ---
    the acceptance of English Puritan
    protection. In other words,
[13:18] ---
    Orsola Aquinas
    is not Roman Orthodox,
[13:21] ---
    but a member of the
    English Puritan Church now.
[13:26] ---
    I see. So then...
[13:29] ---
    Do you really think that
    sophistry is going to work here?!
[13:32] ---
    No, I don't. However, if you
    Roman Orthodox are going to submit her
[13:37] ---
    to your own exclusive inquisition...
[13:43] ---
    ...then the English Puritan Church
    cannot stand by and say nothing.
[13:49] ---
    As such, how dare you
    turn your blades against her.
[13:54] ---
    Do you really think I am
    such a sweet, kindhearted man
[13:57] ---
    that I would just look on and do nothing?
[14:00] ---
    So what if just one of
    you has now become two?
[14:02] ---
    Don't go thinking
    it's just the two of them.
[14:08] ---
    You don't have to bother asking
[14:10] ---
    what my reason for
    having to fight is, do you?
[14:14] ---
    Tatemiya...
[14:16] ---
    And here I thought I had discussed
    this with the English Puritans,
[14:20] ---
    and arranged to settle this before
    you could make your move...
[14:26] ---
    You're an even bigger fool than I imagined.
[14:29] ---
    But then, who can dislike
    a fool that's fun to watch?
[14:33] ---
    You know...
[14:34] ---
    I said I would take care of this, Toma,
[14:37] ---
    so you didn't have to concern yourself.
[14:40] ---
    Index...
[14:41] ---
    However, now that it's come
    to this, I guess there's no choice.
[14:45] ---
    Toma, let's save Orsola Aquinas,
[14:48] ---
    and do it together.
[14:50] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[14:52] ---
    Yeah!
[14:56] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[15:12] ---
    Kill them!
[15:19] ---
    Orsola, are you all right?
[15:21] ---
    Yes. This is no problem whatsoever.
[15:28] ---
    What is this?
[15:29] ---
    If I needed a reason to fight,
[15:31] ---
    I've got one right here,
    plain as day, don't I?
[15:50] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[15:58] ---
    Nya-ha! Is this a lofty
    elevation of appreciation,
[16:01] ---
    inspiration, and exhilaration,
    Miss Kanzaki?
[16:04] ---
    Tsuchimikado...
[16:06] ---
    Ah, thank goodness--finding
    out that my one-time pals
[16:09] ---
    didn't kidnap Orsola to
    use the Book of the Law
[16:11] ---
    for their own personal interests, am I right?
[16:15] ---
    Are you finished?
[16:18] ---
    More than likely, you were
    contriving to use this opportunity
[16:21] ---
    to snatch the original Book of
    the Law text out from under them.
[16:26] ---
    You pretty much know
    all the particulars, right?
[16:29] ---
    The Amakusa did not
    steal the Book of the Law.
[16:33] ---
    It was a false charge fabricated by
    the Roman Orthodox Church.
[16:36] ---
    Which means, there was never
    any need to bring the Book of the Law
[16:40] ---
    all the way here to Japan.
[16:42] ---
    The Book of the Law
    brought into Japan is a fake,
[16:45] ---
    while the original text is, even
    now, deep in the Vatican Library.
[16:50] ---
    So, are you satisfied now?
[16:55] ---
    Yes. As long as he's here,
[16:57] ---
    then the Amakusa will follow
    the right path, even without me.
[17:39] ---
    A-Are you all right?
[17:41] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[17:52] ---
    Damn!
[18:20] ---
    Huh?
[18:30] ---
    Don't go showing me such
    a no-account sight as that!
[18:34] ---
    Stop!
[18:38] ---
    Don't get too close to
    her so indiscreetly right now.
[18:41] ---
    If we get too close, we'll be taking
    her strength away from her.
[18:52] ---
    W-What was that?
[19:02] ---
    That is a song which
    uses all the knowledge
[19:05] ---
    from the 103,000 volumes,
    and thoroughly denounces
[19:08] ---
    the contradictions in
    those doctrines-- "Sheol Fear."
[19:13] ---
    For people who act on and
    follow doctrines as their own OS,
[19:16] ---
    it is indeed fair to call
    it their "natural enemy."
[19:19] ---
    Upon hearing it,
[19:20] ---
    their personalities collapse
    like a puzzle, albeit temporarily.
[19:25] ---
    Grimoires are not
    simply things to be read.
[19:28] ---
    Even without any magical power,
    she has mastered the grimoires.
[19:34] ---
    I doubt there is
    any better person than her
[19:36] ---
    to serve as the grimoires' librarian.
[19:40] ---
    Then again, if she had
    that kind of trick up her sleeve,
[19:43] ---
    why didn't she use it to begin with?
[19:47] ---
    This attack...
[19:48] ---
    ...works on what's
    called the "group mind,"
[19:51] ---
    and breaks down the mental barriers.
[19:53] ---
    As such, the purity of
    that group mind is an issue.
[20:02] ---
    When we were fighting you guys,
    Kamijo Toma and I were in the way,
[20:06] ---
    and the purity was diminished,
    so it would have performed poorly.
[20:09] ---
    If we'd run into that, it would
    have been no laughing matter.
[20:17] ---
    --This could be bad.
    --What do we do?
[20:20] ---
    --Can we run away?
    --Y-Y-Yes!
[20:22] ---
    Stop making such a fuss!
[20:25] ---
    It makes you look like fools!
[20:27] ---
    Especially you, Sister Angelene!
[20:29] ---
    B-But Sister Agnese,
[20:32] ---
    it has been more than ten minutes
    since the fighting started.
[20:35] ---
    Even counting Orsola, there
    is such a great difference in numbers.
[20:39] ---
    This is not normal.
[20:42] ---
    Y-You see?
[20:44] ---
    Which side caused
    that explosion just now?
[20:47] ---
    There is a chance that they
    have started taking the offensive!
[20:51] ---
    W-We should act, too!
    They can use all the help they can get!
[20:58] ---
    In that case, I release
    you from my bodyguard detail.
[21:02] ---
    Go ahead and join the battle lines.
[21:04] ---
    R-Right! There is no
    way we will let them get away!
[21:16] ---
    They can't get away.
[21:18] ---
    There is no way they can escape.
[21:21] ---
    Such is the way this filthy,
    cursed world has been put together.

[00:30] ---
    I'd gone to save Orsola,
[00:31] ---
    who had been captured by the
    Roman Orthodox Church, by myself...
[00:35] ---
    ...or so I thought I had, but Stiyl?
[00:38] ---
    Tatemiya?
[00:39] ---
    And even Index?!
[00:41] ---
    Then I guess that means that none of us
[00:45] ---
    meant to allow this incident to
    end with such a lousy outcome, huh?
[01:07] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:11] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[01:16] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:20] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:26] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:31] ---
    But the angel continued to smile in discernment
[01:42] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:47] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:52] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:58] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:05] ---
    No buts!
[02:20] ---
    Focus on attack!
[02:20] ---
    "#05 Lotus Wand"
[02:22] ---
    Forget about defense!
[02:23] ---
    Do the honorable thing, as we annihilate the enemies of the Lord!
[02:39] ---
    Th-They wouldn't...
[02:41] ---
    Just to avoid the Sheol Fear...?
[02:44] ---
    Damn!
[03:03] ---
    Damn...
[03:04] ---
    Is there no end to them?
[03:05] ---
    This way!
[03:08] ---
    Toma!
[03:10] ---
    Hurry!
[03:21] ---
    For the moment,
    it looks like we're all safe.
[03:24] ---
    Can you walk, Orsola?
[03:28] ---
    You are the worrying type, aren't you?
[03:31] ---
    I have not been injured that severely.
[03:37] ---
    W-What do we do?
[03:38] ---
    I-I don't think my Sheol Fear
    will have any effect on them
[03:42] ---
    with their ears punctured like that.
[03:44] ---
    And I can only use Spell Intercept
    against one person at a time.
[03:49] ---
    My men seem to be holding their own,
[03:51] ---
    but when people start
    launching suicide attacks like this,
[03:54] ---
    nothing scares me more.
[03:58] ---
    If...
[04:01] ---
    If I had the Book of the Law here,
[04:04] ---
    I might be able to find us a way out of this.
[04:08] ---
    Indeed, just by declaring
    that the seal had been broken
[04:12] ---
    on the Book of the Law's angel techniques,
[04:14] ---
    we could use it to negotiate.
[04:16] ---
    However, the Book of the
    Law supposedly being stolen
[04:19] ---
    was a ruse on
    their part to ensnare us.
[04:22] ---
    Thus, even having the text
    here in Japan at all would be strange.
[04:26] ---
    --Oh, it is!
    --Oh, it is!
[04:28] ---
    It's true that not even you
    can decipher the Book of the Law.
[04:32] ---
    Meaning you had to at least
    view it, in order to have read it.
[04:37] ---
    And if so, it would be odd if
    the Book of the Law's original text
[04:39] ---
    were not stored intact somewhere
    within your memory, right?
[04:42] ---
    Mm-hmm. It's in there, left alone,
    without me deciphering its code--
[04:46] ---
    No way! If you do that,
[04:49] ---
    she will remember the
    content of the Book of the Law!
[04:52] ---
    If that happens, she'll be
    stuck with even more magicians
[04:54] ---
    coming after her than there already are!
[04:57] ---
    Huh? Are you worried about me?
[05:03] ---
    Kamijo Toma!
[05:04] ---
    W-What?!
[05:05] ---
    You have to become stronger!
    If this incident carries over
[05:08] ---
    and she gets done in,
    I'll burn you, body and soul,
[05:10] ---
    until there aren't even any ashes left!
[05:15] ---
    Damn...
[05:19] ---
    So, tell me, what does
    the decryption process
[05:22] ---
    for the Book of the Law involve?
[05:24] ---
    Oh, right...
[05:25] ---
    Well then, I will now tell you.
[05:30] ---
    We will not actually make any
    use of the Book of the Law's power.
[05:35] ---
    We just have to indicate our
    willingness to use it at any time.
[05:40] ---
    It is based upon Temurah,
    which is to say, letter substitution,
[05:44] ---
    but there is an irregular rule
[05:46] ---
    that is deeply connected
    to the number of lines.
[05:48] ---
    First, the twenty-two Hebrew letters
    are placed into two lines.
[05:53] ---
    taking note of the line number above them...
[05:55] ---
    Huh?
[05:56] ---
    It's all right.
    I pretty much get all of it now.
[05:59] ---
    Um, what is it that you have "gotten"?
[06:03] ---
    This is not the correct way to decipher it.
[06:06] ---
    It is a dummy solution,
    set up as a trap.
[06:09] ---
    The frightening thing
    about the Book of the Law
[06:11] ---
    is that there are more than
    100 methods of decoding it.
[06:14] ---
    What's more, for every method,
    it forms different sentences,
[06:18] ---
    each of which are also dummies.
[06:20] ---
    It's not that nobody can
    read the Book of the Law--
[06:23] ---
    it is a grimoire that everyone can read,
[06:24] ---
    but everyone is induced
    into deciphering incorrectly.
[06:28] ---
    It can't be...
[06:30] ---
    Depending on how you think of it,
    you might have just been saved.
[06:34] ---
    Say, if we tell them now that we
    really don't know how to decode it,
[06:39] ---
    do you think they'll let us off the hook?
[06:41] ---
    Probably not, huh?
[06:43] ---
    Now that they've seen this much
    of the darkness, they can't back down.
[06:52] ---
    There must be a back door somewhere!
[07:22] ---
    No matter how I look at it,
[07:24] ---
    I doubt that while taking
    on that great a number,
[07:26] ---
    you could move freely about the premises.
[07:30] ---
    I've come up with
    a bit of strategy, you see.
[07:34] ---
    Strategy? Ah, I see.
    So that's what this is.
[07:39] ---
    Oh... so after you came
    strutting in here like the hero,
[07:44] ---
    you're now using your friends
    as decoys to get this far, are you?
[07:49] ---
    Orsola Aquinas said something
    about you acting based on trust,
[07:53] ---
    not because of any deception.
[07:57] ---
    That is absolutely laughable, isn't it?
[07:59] ---
    Here the reason you're still breathing
[08:02] ---
    is because you tricked
    someone into being your decoy.
[08:05] ---
    No...
[08:06] ---
    I do trust them. If possible,
    I'd be glad if they would trust me--
[08:12] ---
    that I can settle my problems myself.
[08:16] ---
    You think that by
    eliminating me, the commander,
[08:18] ---
    you can stop all the attacks?
[08:20] ---
    Well, all right. I was just
    starting to grow bored myself.
[08:25] ---
    I think I'll just occupy myself
    by shattering your fantasy!
[08:30] ---
    All things in harmony.
    Fifth of the Five Elements,
[08:33] ---
    symbolizing peace and order...
[08:35] ---
    ...deploy this crosier!
[08:36] ---
    Icon one, in accordance with the laws
    of the Son of God and the cross,
[08:40] ---
    join that which is at odds
    with he who is at odds!
[08:54] ---
    A coordinate attack?
    Teleportation?
[09:04] ---
    That staff...!
[09:06] ---
    I see you finally figured it out.
[09:09] ---
    When you do harm to this, it in
    turn does harm to something else.
[09:13] ---
    Kind of like this!
[09:17] ---
    D-Damn!
[09:19] ---
    Just where are
    those attacks coming from?
[09:24] ---
    Yikes!
[09:48] ---
    Don't think you can evade
    me forever in the same fashion.
[09:51] ---
    Once I anticipate your move
    and set up the space to attack from,
[09:55] ---
    you charge into it all on your own.
[10:01] ---
    This is unforgivable.
[10:04] ---
    The church of the cross's original purpose
[10:05] ---
    was to help others,
    and that is how it spread.
[10:09] ---
    But to turn that around,
    and use force to do something like this...
[10:20] ---
    You're "using force to do something
    like this" to bash away at me.
[10:25] ---
    Do you take offense at being beaten?
[10:28] ---
    The bishop's crosier
    is an alteration of the mace,
[10:31] ---
    once used to smash
    through an enemy's armor.
[10:34] ---
    What is wrong with using something
    for beating to beat something with?
[10:41] ---
    Modern western magic
    has had a dimension
[10:44] ---
    of church-of-the-cross trickery
    about it from the start.
[10:48] ---
    The fact that anyone besides us
    uses it is what is unusual.
[10:53] ---
    Ultimately, dogma outside of Roman Orthodoxy
[10:55] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:56] ---
    is no dogma at all!
[11:01] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:04] ---
    Anyhow, you're in my way!
[11:06] ---
    No more whining,
[11:08] ---
    just die in our assembly
    line already, if you please!
[11:15] ---
    That's the attack
    I've been waiting for!
[11:52] ---
    It can't be...
[11:53] ---
    I'm going back...
[11:55] ---
    ...to that place... once again?
[11:59] ---
    No!
[12:03] ---
    I'm not about to go back!
[12:06] ---
    I'm not about to go back!
[12:08] ---
    No way!
[12:23] ---
    I hate to do this to you
    while you're trying so hard,
[12:27] ---
    but it looks like it's all over.
[12:31] ---
    It's gone quiet outside.
[12:33] ---
    It sounds like your plan was
    to defeat me and make some deal
[12:36] ---
    while they were holding
    their own outside as decoys,
[12:40] ---
    but all too easily, the fantasy
    appears to have come to an end.
[12:46] ---
    Yeah.
[12:47] ---
    Exactly right.
[12:51] ---
    Your fantasy is over,
    Agnese Sanctis!
[12:55] ---
    Huh?
[13:06] ---
    I used 4300 cards for this.
[13:09] ---
    We may not be much in
    the way of numbers, but still...
[13:11] ---
    ...the Amakusa are not
    a bunch to be trifled with.
[13:16] ---
    I mean, by using the
    placement of the rune cards,
[13:18] ---
    to construct an even greater figure,
[13:20] ---
    thereby turning the entire church
    itself into a giant magic array...
[13:25] ---
    ...they employed everything around
    us to form multicomponent magic arrays.
[13:29] ---
    It's a sneaky trick
    I couldn't have come up with.
[13:36] ---
    I told you, we had a strategy.
[13:40] ---
    These guys weren't
    running around to act as decoys;
[13:43] ---
    they were just placing
    these cards around the premises.
[13:46] ---
    Hmph! We still have
    you beaten in sheer numbers.
[13:50] ---
    If we all come crushing down
    on you at once...
[13:55] ---
    What are you all waiting for?! Go at once!
[13:59] ---
    Th-They're wavering...
[14:02] ---
    Even though if we push
    en masse, we can beat them.
[14:06] ---
    They act as a result
    of what they believe.
[14:12] ---
    This should be good, shouldn't it?
[14:16] ---
    What do I do?
[14:18] ---
    What am I supposed to do?
[14:20] ---
    What method?
[14:21] ---
    What timing?
[14:22] ---
    What weapon?
[14:24] ---
    How do I choose?
[14:26] ---
    It's over, Agnese.
[14:30] ---
    You must realize it yourself by now.
[14:33] ---
    Your illusion of self-confidence
    died a long time ago.
[15:29] ---
    Toma!
[15:32] ---
    Toma! Wake up! Toma!
[15:53] ---
    A-Are you awake?
[15:56] ---
    Kanzaki?
[15:58] ---
    I had planned on leaving directly, but...
[16:02] ---
    What's that?
[16:03] ---
    A note card?
[16:07] ---
    I-It was nothing, really.
[16:09] ---
    After all, I have the chance
    to speak to you directly.
[16:12] ---
    There is no need for this note.
[16:17] ---
    Call it an after-action report--
[16:18] ---
    I came to keep you
    updated on Orsola Aquinas.
[16:23] ---
    Should I have left
    you alone, instead?
[16:26] ---
    I'm listening! Please!
[16:29] ---
    Orsola Aquinas,
    as well as the Amakusa,
[16:32] ---
    have arranged to become
    affiliated with the English Puritans.
[16:36] ---
    Avoiding Roman Orthodox
    retaliation and assassination
[16:39] ---
    appears to have
    played a large role in this.
[16:41] ---
    Which means that Orsola being
    in danger remains unchanged?
[16:47] ---
    No. The English Puritan
    Church disclosed
[16:49] ---
    the false decryption
    method that Orsola possessed.
[16:53] ---
    They figure that if her
    erroneous interpretation is known,
[16:55] ---
    any concerns about her regarding
    the Book of the Law will disappear.
[16:58] ---
    Hmm? But you said the
    Amakusa were affiliating themselves
[17:02] ---
    with the English Puritans, too, right?
[17:04] ---
    Yes. It seems there
    was a segment of them
[17:06] ---
    that had been hoping
    for this development.
[17:09] ---
    And after I gave them a strict
    order not to follow after me, too.
[17:14] ---
    Oh, right. You're a member
    of the English Puritans too, huh?
[17:18] ---
    Of all the...
[17:27] ---
    So um, I mean...
    I apologize, for all of this!
[17:30] ---
    Huh? For what?
[17:32] ---
    You know, how um... that is,
    for my own personal reasons,
[17:37] ---
    I put you to all sorts of trouble
    over all of this, you could say...
[17:40] ---
    Yo, Kami!
[17:42] ---
    I came to see you!
[17:44] ---
    I brought you some deluxe
    convenience store pudding
[17:46] ---
    topped with melon to snack on!
    Huh? What's up, missy?
[17:50] ---
    Looks like the time has finally
    come for you to apologize to Kami.
[17:54] ---
    And doing it all clichéd
    and royal at that, like,
[17:56] ---
    "I will pay you back for all
    the trouble I caused you," or,
[17:59] ---
    "please, ask anything
    you want of me," I'll bet,
[18:01] ---
    with you offering suggestions!
[18:06] ---
    Man, it's like
    "The Grateful Yet Horny Crane."
[18:09] ---
    I-It is not!
[18:10] ---
    Then again, missy, you were
    gonna strip down eventually, right?
[18:12] ---
    I-I was not! And what
    do you mean, "eventually"?!
[18:16] ---
    Huh? Then,
    you were gonna apologize
[18:18] ---
    by wearing whatever
    he wanted you to?
[18:20] ---
    Aren't you the service-minded one!
[18:22] ---
    Just shut up and get out of here!
[18:28] ---
    Okay, okay.
    Third wheel getting out of the way.
[18:31] ---
    Who are you calling a third wheel?!
[18:33] ---
    U-Um...
[18:35] ---
    I-I know I must have this straight, but...
[18:38] ---
    ...you paying me back, or owing me,
    or anything as ridiculous as that
[18:41] ---
    is only something that
    Tsuchimikado is joking about, right?
[18:46] ---
    Well, I ask you, what else
    would you have me do?
[18:49] ---
    I am always placing such an
    unbearable weight upon your shoulders.
[18:54] ---
    And this time,
    the matter was ours, to boot.
[18:57] ---
    We are way past the point
    where I can just bow down
[19:00] ---
    and have you forgive me.
[19:01] ---
    Hmm... There's really nothing
    to worry about, is there?
[19:05] ---
    We've gotten through our
    problems safely for the time being.
[19:09] ---
    "Our"?
[19:10] ---
    Huh? Me and the Amakusa. Ah, and the
    English Puritans, too, I guess.
[19:16] ---
    Not to mention Orsola, Index, Stiyl...
[19:20] ---
    ...as well as yourself.
[19:22] ---
    As of now, that's who "we" are, right?
[19:26] ---
    As far as the English and the Romans,
[19:28] ---
    things must be pretty tangled up for you,
[19:30] ---
    but for an amateur like me,
    honestly, I can't tell them apart.
[19:34] ---
    It's not really as
    though I've taken the side
[19:37] ---
    of the English Puritans,
    which Index is a part of.
[19:40] ---
    For now, I'm just taking
    the side of the English Puritans
[19:43] ---
    Because Index is a part of them.
[19:47] ---
    It's likely that if Agnese came
    asking for my help, I'd go help her.
[19:52] ---
    She may have been on the
    wrong side of things this time,
[19:55] ---
    but there's no rule anywhere
    saying that she has to stay
[19:58] ---
    on the wrong side, you know.
[20:04] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church
    intends to settle this up
[20:08] ---
    as a case of a rogue militant
    faction led by Agnese Sanctis.
[20:14] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church
    itself wishes to explain themselves
[20:17] ---
    by saying that they never
    meant to assassinate Orsola.
[20:20] ---
    They still have to answer for
    not keeping a tight rein on their men,
[20:23] ---
    if they want bygones to be bygones.
[20:26] ---
    Looking back,
    you seemed to be fully aware
[20:28] ---
    of the Roman Orthodoxy's true intentions.
[20:30] ---
    So then, why didn't you tell
    me to save Orsola from the start?
[20:36] ---
    It's so complicated.
[20:37] ---
    No, not fully.
[20:39] ---
    Who knew that Orsola's
    decryption method was incorrect?
[20:43] ---
    But for my part,
    it worked out either way.
[20:48] ---
    Let's suppose, Stiyl...
[20:50] ---
    ...that if we had failed to
    rescue Orsola in this instance,
[20:54] ---
    would anything,
    in fact, have changed?
[20:57] ---
    If she had been taken back
    to the Roman Orthodox Church,
[21:00] ---
    her subsequent execution
    would be waiting for her regardless.
[21:04] ---
    Either way, the Book of the Law
    would never have been deciphered.
[21:08] ---
    In that case, Archbishop,
    why did you personally request
[21:11] ---
    that the crucifix got to Orsola?
[21:13] ---
    Say what you will,
[21:15] ---
    but you fully meant to save
    her from the start, did you not?
[21:18] ---
    I-I did not! The only
    reason I ever butted in
[21:22] ---
    was in the interest of
    the English Puritan Church!
[21:26] ---
    And that interest would be...?
[21:28] ---
    Kanzaki Kaori.
[21:31] ---
    Becausae Kanzaki
    possesses tremendous power,
[21:33] ---
    and a well-developed sense of justice,
[21:35] ---
    she is someone who
    is likely to act on her own.
[21:38] ---
    She ventured awfully close
    to peril in this instance.
[21:43] ---
    You've received the
    reports on what happened
[21:45] ---
    to those fools in
    the knight's order, right?
[21:48] ---
    Yes.
[21:49] ---
    Henceforth, we're going to require
    some new leg-irons for her.
[21:53] ---
    Not some negative leg-irons, like,
[21:55] ---
    "We will do harm unless
    you do as you are told,"
[21:58] ---
    but more like "do as you are told,
[22:00] ---
    and we will protect the Amakusa
    from the Roman Orthodox Church."
[22:06] ---
    See? There is no finer interest, is there?
[22:19] ---
    Why, that little vixen...
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[23:07] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:30] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    A stolen travel case lies hidden in the darkness of Academy City.
[23:59] ---
    When Shirai Kuroko comes
    into contact with a part of it,
[24:01] ---
    she learns a terrifying truth.
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Remnant."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

[00:32] ---
    And now, the weather
[00:33] ---
    for tomorrow, September 14th.
[00:36] ---
    Things look clear across
    the country tomorrow,
[00:39] ---
    but expect increasing rain on
    and off in the evening and overnight.
[00:43] ---
    --Toma! Toma!
[00:43] ---
    --Clouds will accompany a front
    approaching from the Sea of Japan,
[00:45] ---
    --Huh? What is it?
[00:46] ---
    It looks like growth rings
    have been drawn on this map,
[00:49] ---
    but how does that show
    what tomorrow's weather will be?
[00:52] ---
    Oh, those are isobaric lines.
[00:54] ---
    I guess they look at the peaks
    and valleys of pressure to determine it.
[01:01] ---
    Oh! Do you mean, Academy City
    is now using artificial means
[01:04] ---
    to make feng shui readings come true?
[01:06] ---
    Okay, time for a taste test.
[01:08] ---
    It's right off the stove,
    so it will be hot. Be careful--
[01:16] ---
    Toma!!
[01:22] ---
    No fair! No fair, Toma! You always
    get mad when I snitch food early!
[01:27] ---
    If I take my eyes off of you,
    you'll eat everything there!
[01:30] ---
    Hmm? But Toma...
[01:32] ---
    Huh?
[01:33] ---
    The weather girl sometimes
    says the wrong things.
[01:39] ---
    Is being scatterbrained
    a selling point?
[01:41] ---
    It just means that weather
    forecasts aren't perfect.
[01:44] ---
    Though they were perfect
    until a little while ago...
[01:50] ---
    This is Shuttle 258.

    Now retrieving the Remnant.

    "#06 Remnant (Wreckage)"
[03:28] ---
    Geez, I can't put up with this, you know?
[03:32] ---
    I don't care if the Daihasei
    Festival is coming up,
[03:34] ---
    they can't have the whole school
    doing gym all the time like this.
[03:38] ---
    What else can they do?
[03:40] ---
    Huh?
[03:40] ---
    At last year's Daihasei Festival,
[03:42] ---
    Tokiwadai Middle School
    took a humiliating 2nd place.
[03:45] ---
    They are eager to ensure
    that this is our year.
[03:48] ---
    By the way, Sissy,
[03:49] ---
    do you have any
    plans after school today?
[03:52] ---
    Why?
[03:53] ---
    Oh, just that once in a while,
    I would like to go shopping with you,
[03:58] ---
    or get something
    sweet to eat with you.
[04:01] ---
    We seem to be passing
    each other by a lot lately.
[04:05] ---
    I am busy with
    Judgment, and Sissy,
[04:08] ---
    you have your accessories that
    you are always looking for all over.
[04:11] ---
    To be honest, I have been
    a bit lonesome recently.
[04:16] ---
    Kuroko...
[04:19] ---
    How commendable!
    Today I am laying on the admirableness!
[04:22] ---
    And, while she will deny it, in fact,
[04:25] ---
    Sissy is debating whether
    or not to welcome me
[04:28] ---
    into her wide-open,
    protective arms to snuggle me!
[04:33] ---
    Something sweet?
[04:34] ---
    You keep stuffing your face with
    sweets after your Judgment work,
[04:38] ---
    so you never end up
    feeling hungry, do you--
[04:43] ---
    Sissy!!
[04:54] ---
    "US Space Shuttle
    successfully launches"
[04:59] ---
    Sissy? There have
    been a lot lately, huh?
[05:03] ---
    As I recall, France, Russia,
    and last week, Spain, also launched.
[05:07] ---
    Sissy, is something the matter?
[05:09] ---
    Huh?
[05:11] ---
    You seem to be
    upset about something.
[05:14] ---
    O-Of course I am!
[05:15] ---
    You did a buck-naked
    drop-kick on me out of nowhere,
[05:17] ---
    exposing me to the most
    absurd sight, right before my eyes!
[05:20] ---
    So hurry up and
    finish doing your shopping!
[05:23] ---
    It's pretty embarrassing hanging
    around with you, given your tastes.
[05:26] ---
    Sissy, you should take this
    chance to find something to wear
[05:28] ---
    worthy of Tokiwadai's Ace!
[05:31] ---
    Like this...
[05:32] ---
    ...or this...
[05:34] ---
    ...or something like this...
[05:40] ---
    A bra pad?! Sissy, I never knew
    you were interested in these!
[05:45] ---
    Do not tell me you have a
    boyfriend in mind.
[05:47] ---
    I-It's not that!
[05:49] ---
    No, of course not. Sissy, you would
    not get carried away with a boy--
[05:56] ---
    Come to think of it,
    the last day of summer vacation...
[06:01] ---
    No, that would be the
    last thing you would do...
[06:04] ---
    Right, Sissy--?
[06:08] ---
    What sort of fumbling reaction is this?!
[06:12] ---
    Sissy could not be--could not
    really be with that troglodyte!
[06:17] ---
    I-It's not like that!
    I'm not interested!
[06:20] ---
    After all, when you wear them,
[06:22] ---
    you eventually get found
    out when you take them off.
[06:27] ---
    Sissy... you already have future
    plans that far ahead in mind...!
[06:31] ---
    No, not like that! I meant gym!
    When changing for gym class!
[06:37] ---
    Hey, your cell is ringing.
[06:39] ---
    Geez, this is not the time!
[06:43] ---
    Hello? Uiharu?
[06:46] ---
    A robbery?
    Let Antiskill take care of it...
[06:50] ---
    School District 23? The one dealing
    with aerospace development?
[06:58] ---
    I am so sorry, Sissy.
[07:00] ---
    And after you were kind
    enough to come with me, too...
[07:02] ---
    It's okay, it's okay.
[07:03] ---
    But just be sure to
    come back early tonight.
[07:06] ---
    The weather might turn
    bad come evening, after all.
[07:09] ---
    Oh... okay...
[07:16] ---
    Ah, Miss Shirai!
[07:18] ---
    Is it just you, Uiharu?
[07:20] ---
    Everyone else just went out.
    Oh, I'll put on some tea.
[07:24] ---
    I appreciate it,
    but I will pass right now.
[07:28] ---
    Oh, no! I just wanted
    to feel a little ladylike.
[07:33] ---
    If you would like to
    practice feminine etiquette,
[07:35] ---
    I can show you some other time.
[07:37] ---
    Right now, give me
    an overview of this case.
[07:40] ---
    This is it.
[07:43] ---
    What is this?
[07:52] ---
    That is not a cell; it is a radio.
[07:55] ---
    The victims seem
    fairly suspect, as well.
[07:58] ---
    What's more, there's this...
[08:01] ---
    School District 23's emblem.
[08:04] ---
    I've isolated the model number.
[08:06] ---
    This travel case is specially
    made to be highly airtight,
[08:10] ---
    as well as to counter all
    kinds of cosmic radiation.
[08:13] ---
    You do not suppose they
    were taking it into space, do you?
[08:16] ---
    Or instead,
    they were bringing it back.
[08:19] ---
    Hmph, the quickest way to find
    out seems to be to secure the robbers.
[08:24] ---
    What was their escape route?
[08:25] ---
    They abandoned the
    car and went underground.
[08:28] ---
    Huh?
[08:28] ---
    There was a traffic jam
    due to some signal trouble.
[08:32] ---
    This doesn't happen too often, either.
[08:35] ---
    Actually, it works to our favor.
[08:36] ---
    Huh?
[08:37] ---
    Uiharu, you run
    down the men who ran away.
[08:39] ---
    Miss Shirai!
[08:43] ---
    Hurry!
[08:48] ---
    I beg your pardon.
[08:52] ---
    What?!
[08:54] ---
    A teleporter!
[08:55] ---
    Over here!
[08:57] ---
    Judgment! Do I have to
    explain to you why I am here?
[09:16] ---
    Damn!
[09:21] ---
    A low-tech handgun...
    Are they outsiders?
[09:29] ---
    Hello, Uiharu?
[09:31] ---
    Uh, Kuroko...
[09:32] ---
    Sissy!
[09:33] ---
    I need a little favor
    from you. Where are you?
[09:37] ---
    Oh, well...
[09:38] ---
    Oh, you're still at work?
    Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to bother you.
[09:42] ---
    Oh, no. So what is the favor?
[09:45] ---
    Mm, I heard from
    one of the underclassmen
[09:49] ---
    that there's going to be
    a surprise room inspection.
[09:50] ---
    I was hoping you could
    hide some of my personal things.
[09:54] ---
    Sissy, you are still out, too?
[09:56] ---
    Well, that's okay.
    I'll try asking someone else.
[09:59] ---
    You should get back soon, too.
[10:02] ---
    Word is it's supposed to rain starting
    tonight and all day tomorrow. Bye!
[10:06] ---
    S-Sissy!
[10:09] ---
    I will not allow Sissy to turn
    to anyone other than me for a favor!
[10:14] ---
    This calls for me to teleport
    right back to the student dorms--
[10:23] ---
    Huh?
[10:35] ---
    Who are you?
[10:45] ---
    A teleporter?
[10:46] ---
    My, you figured that out already?
[10:48] ---
    Leave it to the same type of
    esper to understand so quickly.
[10:52] ---
    My power is Move Point.
    Unlike you, who can't do so,
[10:56] ---
    I do not need to touch
    the objects with my hands.
[10:59] ---
    Well? Don't you think that's amazing,
[11:02] ---
    Judgment Branch 177's
    Miss Shirai Kuroko?
[11:09] ---
    It will take more than that!
[11:19] ---
    Like I said,
    it will take more than that!
[11:34] ---
    I told you.
[11:35] ---
    I don't need to put my hands
    on the objects.
[11:39] ---
    It's too bad.
[11:41] ---
    Even if she is backed into a corner,
[11:43] ---
    I did not think her to be
    someone to drag an underclassman
[11:45] ---
    into one of her personal affairs--
[11:48] ---
    Misaka Mikoto, that is.
[11:51] ---
    Why would you bring up Sissy's name just now?
[11:54] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:00] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:03] ---
    Why would you bring
    up Sissy's name just now?
[12:06] ---
    Oh, you didn't know?
[12:09] ---
    But then, it doesn't seem like she
    would use you without you knowing.
[12:13] ---
    The Railgun of Tokiwadai
    is quite noble-minded, and all.
[12:17] ---
    You didn't think it was awfully convenient
[12:20] ---
    that my people were
    caught up in that traffic jam?
[12:23] ---
    You can't tell me that you
    don't know what kind of esper
[12:26] ---
    that Tokiwadai's Ace is,
    now can you?
[12:29] ---
    What are you going on about?
[12:31] ---
    The Remnant--though you wouldn't
    know what that means, huh?
[12:35] ---
    Is "silicorundum" too much for you, too?
[12:38] ---
    I know. You'd understand if I said the
    wreckage of Tree Diagram, right?
[12:43] ---
    The supercomputer that's said
    to be the brains of Academy City?
[12:47] ---
    And though derelict,
    its computational core
[12:50] ---
    still has tremendous
    potential remaining within it.
[12:52] ---
    Ridiculous.
    It is still in its satellite orbit.
[12:57] ---
    This is an attachment to the
    report about it being shot down.
[13:01] ---
    Quite rare, you know.
[13:02] ---
    Tree Diagram was
    destroyed quite some time ago.
[13:07] ---
    That is why the whole world
    wants its wreckage--the Remnant.
[13:12] ---
    It must be rough for Misaka Mikoto.
[13:14] ---
    Thanks to someone destroying
    Tree Diagram for her,
[13:18] ---
    her nightmare would have been over.
[13:20] ---
    If it can be restored,
    the experiments will be held again.
[13:25] ---
    I can understand why she
    would be trying to resist that.
[13:28] ---
    Experiments?
[13:30] ---
    You still don't get it?
    You really are out of the loop, huh?
[13:34] ---
    August 21st.
[13:37] ---
    If you've managed to make it this far,
[13:40] ---
    you and I might have become friends.
[13:45] ---
    Splash!
[13:47] ---
    ...goes Misaka Misaka,
    jumping into the bathtub!
[13:50] ---
    Then, splashy splashy splashy,
[13:52] ---
    kicks her feet with
    a sense of freedom!
[13:55] ---
    You know,
[13:56] ---
    just because you're small,
    don't go indulging yourself
[13:59] ---
    by acting like this cramped
    bathroom is spacious--
[14:03] ---
    "Must be inconvenient,
    not being able to use your Reflection,"
[14:06] ---
    says Misaka Misaka with a look of pity.
[14:09] ---
    "Also, what's the deal with an
    esper brought to tears by shampoo,"
[14:14] ---
    wonders Misaka Misaka in shock!
[14:16] ---
    These aren't tears!
[14:17] ---
    And if I could use your network
    to calculate my Reflection, I'd--
[14:22] ---
    Yomikawa! Why do I have to
    take care of this dirty little brat?!
[14:26] ---
    What choice is there?
[14:28] ---
    Man, that Kikyo! Dumping
    her problems on me yet again...
[14:33] ---
    Well, these kids don't seem to
    require that much care, though.
[14:38] ---
    Yomikawa!!
[14:41] ---
    I've determined the name of
    the esper you fought, Miss Shirai.
[14:45] ---
    Musujime Awaki. She's a 2nd-Year from
    Kirigaoka Girls' School, and a Level 4.
[14:50] ---
    Her ability is called Move Point,
[14:53] ---
    and as you reported, she is able
    to relocate objects at a distance--
[14:57] ---
    or in other words, spatial
    replacement from coordinate A to B.
[15:01] ---
    Did you... find anything else out?
[15:04] ---
    Well, she flunked blocking
    other espers of the same type.
[15:08] ---
    Also, she seems to have second
    thoughts about teleporting herself.
[15:12] ---
    Presumably because she was
    badly injured doing so two years ago.
[15:15] ---
    And another thing,
    though this is unconfirmed--
[15:18] ---
    she is supposed to be one of the "Guides."
[15:20] ---
    Guides?
[15:22] ---
    To the building without doors or windows.
[15:25] ---
    The Academy City Governing
    Board Director's home office?
[15:28] ---
    But that is just an urban legend--
[15:32] ---
    Miss Shirai? Are you all right?
[15:34] ---
    Never mind, just keep going.
[15:37] ---
    Right. According to Antiskill's intel,
[15:40] ---
    the black-suited men
    who were attacked are secure.
[15:42] ---
    As for their identity,
[15:43] ---
    it says they are couriers who
    were hired by School District 23.
[15:47] ---
    A psychometrist read their memories,
[15:50] ---
    but they knew nothing
    about what was inside the case.
[15:53] ---
    So in short, while School District 23
    was delivering the contents
[15:57] ---
    of that travel case to
    some other research facility,
[16:00] ---
    they had it stolen from
    them by Musujime's group.
[16:04] ---
    Remnant... Tree Diagram...
[16:09] ---
    It must be rough for Misaka Mikoto.
[16:12] ---
    Her nightmare would have been over.
[16:13] ---
    But just be sure to come back early tonight.
[16:16] ---
    The weather might turn
    bad come evening, after all.
[16:21] ---
    Miss Shirai?
[16:23] ---
    Um, why don't you let
    Antiskill take over this case already?
[16:28] ---
    Somehow, it seems like
    it's more than we can handle.
[16:34] ---
    I have to go.
[16:35] ---
    Huh?
[16:43] ---
    Kuroko?
[16:44] ---
    What is it, Sissy?
[16:48] ---
    You're in the bathroom? If you're home,
    at least turn the room light on.
[16:53] ---
    J-Just conserving energy.
[16:57] ---
    I am a girl who is kind to the earth.
[17:01] ---
    Hmm... But Academy City is
    mainly powered by wind energy,
[17:06] ---
    and CO2 isn't even a factor, is it?
[17:08] ---
    Oh, Sissy, you tease.
[17:12] ---
    I was thinking of using it as a pretext to
    invite you into some lowered mood lighting.
[17:19] ---
    What's the big idea?
[17:21] ---
    Sissy, where have you been?
[17:24] ---
    Oh, I guess you could say
    I've been out collecting accessories
[17:27] ---
    that I haven't been
    able to buy up to now.
[17:29] ---
    I just can't seem to find them.
[17:32] ---
    I just came back to
    get something I'd forgotten.
[17:35] ---
    I'll be heading out for a bit again.
[17:40] ---
    I hope you do not get rained on.
[17:43] ---
    You cannot rely on the
    weather forecasts these days.
[17:49] ---
    Yeah. Thanks for worrying about me.
[17:52] ---
    I'll try to be home
    again as soon as I can.
[18:01] ---
    Sissy...
[18:05] ---
    August 21st...
[18:08] ---
    That evening, an unexplained
    windstorm swept through,
[18:12] ---
    a rail switchyard in
    School District 17 was devastated,
[18:16] ---
    and the next day...
[18:36] ---
    Uiharu...
[18:37] ---
    Musujime's group is mixed up with an
    organization outside of Academy City.
[18:43] ---
    Can you run a simulation
    of the escape route?
[18:46] ---
    I am sorry, Sissy.
[18:50] ---
    You bear a distress deeper
    than the rest of us can only imagine.
[18:57] ---
    You are trying to keep us
    from becoming involved in it.
[19:00] ---
    That is why I will
    apologize now, upfront...
[19:03] ---
    ...for putting a stop to the
    nightmare that Musujime mentioned
[19:06] ---
    by sticking my nose into your
    business in my own humble way!
[19:13] ---
    Sissy!
[19:26] ---
    Come on out of there, you coward!
[19:29] ---
    How long do you plan to sneak around?!
[19:43] ---
    Sissy...
[19:46] ---
    You're in quite the
    hurry today, aren't you?
[19:49] ---
    Are you that afraid of the
    Remnant being reintegrated?
[19:52] ---
    Or is it that the experiments
    will be restarted, I wonder.
[19:55] ---
    You be quiet!
[19:57] ---
    Hmph, you could just leave them alone.
[19:59] ---
    They were created for
    the experiments to begin with.
[20:03] ---
    Why not let them be destroyed,
    like they were meant to be?
[20:05] ---
    Do you really mean that?
[20:06] ---
    In the end, you're fighting
    for your sake, aren't you?
[20:11] ---
    Your regrets,
    your misery, and your anger...
[20:15] ---
    All for your own petty self-satisfaction.
[20:18] ---
    You're right...
[20:20] ---
    I am aggravated.
[20:22] ---
    So aggravated that I could
    burst the veins in my head.
[20:26] ---
    That idiot...!
[20:28] ---
    Did she really think
    I wouldn't notice?
[20:31] ---
    Just hearing her voice
    through the door was so...
[20:35] ---
    ...was so terrible...
[20:37] ---
    Yeah, I am aggravated.
[20:40] ---
    At my over-perfect,
    ridiculous underclassman,
[20:43] ---
    the scum sitting in front of me,
[20:44] ---
    and more than anything,
    the one who created this situation--
[20:47] ---
    which would be me!
[20:49] ---
    You're so bighearted,
    it's sickeningly sweet.
[20:52] ---
    If you had complained that you were the
    victim, we wouldn't have to fight now.
[20:57] ---
    In any case, I cannot allow
    myself to be caught right now.
[21:00] ---
    I am going to make my way out
    of here, no matter what I have to do.
[21:03] ---
    Do you really think you can get away?
[21:05] ---
    I already know everything
    you've got up your sleeve!
[21:11] ---
    Your shield is too flimsy!
[21:13] ---
    A question for you--
[21:16] ---
    How many ordinary people
    who have nothing to do with this
[21:19] ---
    are mixed up in here?
[21:32] ---
    It looks like it is now my turn.
[21:38] ---
    Well, here you go, Shirai Kuroko.
[21:43] ---
    Into the very heart of the battlefield,
[21:45] ---
    to make sure you make it back.
[21:53] ---
    "If this is true, then I must hurry,"
[21:57] ---
    says Misaka, tipping
    up her own set of priorities.
[22:02] ---
    "It is already past curfew,
    but I cannot just remain here,"
[22:07] ---
    says Misaka, invoking her
    emergency excuse on herself.
[22:15] ---
    "Even at this very moment,
    matters are rapidly going downhill,"
[22:21] ---
    says Misaka...

[00:31] ---
    Just as tranquility had supposedly
    returned to Misaka Mikoto's life,
[00:34] ---
    darkness once again looms over her.
[00:36] ---
    A mysterious organization operates in secret
[00:37] ---
    concerning the wreckage of Tree Diagram.
[00:39] ---
    A Level 4 esper, Musujime Awaki,
    uses the technique Move Point.
[00:43] ---
    And as for Shirai Kuroko,
[00:45] ---
    who has caught a glimpse of
    Misaka as she continues to
[00:47] ---
    wage her lone secret battle...
[01:08] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:11] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[01:16] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:20] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:27] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:32] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[01:42] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:47] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:53] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:58] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:05] ---
    No buts!

    "#07 Move Point (Coordinate Relocation)"
[02:30] ---
    What is this?
[02:32] ---
    There aren't any civilians
    in here, are there?
[02:52] ---
    It looks like you might
    have underestimated me,
[02:55] ---
    assuming I wouldn't
    teleport myself, huh?
[03:01] ---
    I can do it anytime, if I want to.
[03:03] ---
    As long as I really want to,
    the trauma isn't...
[03:13] ---
    Do they not call it "trauma" because
    it is not so easy to overcome?
[03:18] ---
    Two years ago, you teleported
    yourself, and were seriously injured.
[03:24] ---
    You probably miscalculated
    your coordinates,
[03:26] ---
    and ran into a wall
    or something, did you not?
[03:28] ---
    Oh, my, what a poor show.
[03:35] ---
    There is no need to panic.
    I avoided anything vital.
[03:40] ---
    Although, all I have done is
    pay you back for where you got me.
[03:45] ---
    Here is some styptic gel.
    It works quite well.
[03:51] ---
    Now, please, go ahead
    and crawl around on the floor
[03:54] ---
    while you treat your injuries.
[03:56] ---
    Do that, and we will finally be even.
[04:01] ---
    You are quite concerned about
    your Tokiwadai Ace, aren't you?
[04:05] ---
    But is she really worth
    doing all this to protect?
[04:08] ---
    The selfish, sentimental, fantasy
    world that only Railgun dreams of?
[04:15] ---
    Well of course I want to protect it.
[04:18] ---
    However selfish she may be,
    Sissy desires something--
[04:23] ---
    the circumstances where
    you and I do not have to do this.
[04:28] ---
    If she wanted to, with a single coin,
[04:30] ---
    she could blow everything to little pieces.
[04:33] ---
    Even so, Sissy is someone
    who can say with a serious face,
[04:37] ---
    amid any amount of despair,
    that she does not wish us to fight.
[04:40] ---
    Do you think that I am going
    to give the boot to such a wish?!
[04:45] ---
    I am now going to have you
    return her to her day-to-day life.
[04:49] ---
    Just as somebody somewhere wishes,
    and to which I am sympathetic.
[04:54] ---
    In that case,
[04:55] ---
    what if I trample on those wishes?
[04:58] ---
    I guess I would win, huh?
[05:11] ---
    I don't fall for the same trick twice!
[05:33] ---
    I can't teleport!
[05:49] ---
    What's the matter? In so much
    pain that you couldn't teleport?
[05:55] ---
    Tell me, have you heard this story?
[05:59] ---
    Once upon a time, in some place,
[06:01] ---
    there was a powerful esper and organization.
[06:07] ---
    The organization thought that
    by increasing their number of espers,
[06:11] ---
    they could obtain a great deal of power,
[06:14] ---
    so they manufactured many clones.
[06:17] ---
    However, they ended up with a real mess.
[06:19] ---
    The poor little sheep that they got
[06:22] ---
    were colossal failures,
    not even 1% as adequate as the Original.
[06:29] ---
    "Okay then,
[06:31] ---
    we will organize all the
    information we have so far,"
[06:33] ---
    asks Misaka 10032 over the Network
    to an unspecified number of units.
[06:40] ---
    "Currently, the only Remnant that
    can possibly re-establish Tree Diagram
[06:44] ---
    is somewhere in Academy City.
[06:46] ---
    The name of the organization
    that is after it is the Science Society.
[06:50] ---
    There is no question about that, right?"
[06:52] ---
    confirms Misaka 10032 once again.
[06:58] ---
    "There is no question," affirms Misaka 10044.
[07:04] ---
    "However, 10032,
[07:06] ---
    you, of all the units out there,
    suffered especially severe damage,
[07:10] ---
    so shouldn't you concentrate on healing?"
[07:12] ---
    says Misaka 10744, expressing apprehension.
[07:21] ---
    "It doesn't matter,"
    replies Misaka 10032 immediately.
[07:27] ---
    "The reintegration of Tree Diagram
[07:29] ---
    is something that
    absolutely must be stopped,"
[07:31] ---
    says Misaka 10032,
    remembering the faces of that boy and girl,
[07:36] ---
    renewing her determination.
[07:39] ---
    "Acknowledged.
    We will leave it to you,"
[07:42] ---
    says Misaka 14458, nodding her head.
[07:47] ---
    "If you would be so kind,"
    says Misaka 19002 in support.
[07:53] ---
    "Misaka asks you as well,"
    says Misaka Misaka by way of request.
[07:58] ---
    In fact, Misaka wants to do something, too!
[08:00] ---
    Sitting around doing nothing is
    not something Misaka Misaka can--
[08:03] ---
    Hey!
[08:05] ---
    Pipe down. What are
    you babbling about over there?
[08:11] ---
    "Nothing at all," says Misaka
    Misaka, hands over her mouth.
[08:21] ---
    Tell me, Miss Shirai,
[08:23] ---
    despite having a perfect copy
    of the genetics of the Original,
[08:26] ---
    as well as the undergoing
    the exact same ability development,
[08:29] ---
    how is it that the clones can't
    reach the same level as the Original?
[08:34] ---
    Could it be...
[08:35] ---
    ...that there is something else
    involved besides brain composition?
[08:39] ---
    Once that gets identified,
    do you think that non-humans
[08:42] ---
    will be able to master abilities, as well?
[08:44] ---
    Something with a brain comparable
    to or even superior to people?
[08:48] ---
    They could be a lot closer than you'd expect.
[08:51] ---
    What are you talking about?
[08:54] ---
    You cannot mean machines
    that possess abilities!
[08:58] ---
    A machine is just a machine.
    However, they can make predictions.
[09:02] ---
    If there were a machine that
    could perfectly simulate any phenomenon...
[09:08] ---
    I could ask it about any possibility.
[09:11] ---
    Whether or not there are things
[09:13] ---
    that could use abilities
    in place of humans.
[09:17] ---
    For example, dolphins
    are called humans of the sea,
[09:21] ---
    and ant societies have
    strict rules of order and discipline.
[09:24] ---
    Esper abilities cannot just
    be the privilege of mankind.
[09:28] ---
    But if so, why don't any
    non-humans have them?
[09:32] ---
    That... is what I want to know.
[09:35] ---
    And to that end, I...
[09:38] ---
    ...will build a new Tree Diagram
    from this Remnant!
[09:43] ---
    Ee-yow!
[09:45] ---
    Why would you suddenly do
    that for no reason?! Come on! Let go!
[09:49] ---
    I mean... I'm sorry.
    Please let go, Miss Index!
[09:57] ---
    You're so mean, Toma!
[09:59] ---
    Eh?
[10:01] ---
    After I took the trouble to think
    up a neat tongue-twister for you!
[10:06] ---
    Now, look, how does "Toma takes
    in tofu too far away, the tomfool,"
[10:11] ---
    not make fun of me,
    no matter how you look at it?!
[10:15] ---
    Er, I didn't mean that.
[10:24] ---
    Misaka...?
[10:26] ---
    "I have a favor to ask..."
[10:29] ---
    says Misaka looking
    directly at your face,
[10:32] ---
    while pouring out her heart.
[10:35] ---
    Please come save Misaka
    and Misaka's sisters' lives.
[10:43] ---
    I won't allow it.
[10:48] ---
    Not those experiments.
[10:54] ---
    I can't let them start them up
    again, no matter what.
[11:00] ---

    "Property damage to an Area F restaurant,
[11:04] ---
    in what appears to be
    a skirmish between espers."
[11:09] ---
    That idiot!
[11:18] ---
    I've been looking for you, Zapper.
[11:22] ---
    Been looking for me? Why?
[11:27] ---
    Why are you doing this again?
[11:29] ---
    Hey...
[11:32] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:33] ---
    Let's go, Zapper.
[11:38] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:42] ---
    That is why you collaborated
    with an outside organization?
[11:45] ---
    Yes.
[11:46] ---
    Even if I do possess
    this valuable Remnant,
[11:49] ---
    I can't restore the thing by myself.
[11:52] ---
    That's why I needed an outfit
[11:54] ---
    with technical skill, intelligence,
    as well as a purpose.
[11:57] ---
    Miss Shirai, tell me, how did it feel?
[12:01] ---
    When you first obtained your ability?
[12:04] ---
    To be honest, I was afraid.
[12:07] ---
    Possessing this kind of
    power was scarier than anything.
[12:12] ---
    If it didn't have to be a person--
    If it didn't have to be me,
[12:17] ---
    then why is it that
    I have this kind of power?
[12:20] ---
    The ones I am with
    also bear the same concerns.
[12:25] ---
    They all curse their own abilities,
    and have been seeking answers.
[12:30] ---
    That is why they're working with me,
[12:32] ---
    and were even willing to shield me.
[12:35] ---
    It's happened to you, too, right?
[12:37] ---
    You used your ability,
    and ended up hurting someone?
[12:42] ---
    I know what it's like.
    You are a lot like me.
[12:46] ---
    How about it, Miss Shirai?
[12:48] ---
    If you'd like to learn the truth together,
[12:51] ---
    then I would be glad to invite you in.
[12:57] ---
    I must decline.
[12:59] ---
    Did you think that you could
    win over me, Shirai Kuroko,
[13:02] ---
    with your own self-fascinated prose?
[13:05] ---
    I guess villains really
    are full of empty talk after all.
[13:08] ---
    Don't you get it? We espers may
    have avoided becoming monsters!
[13:14] ---
    --These dangerous abilities are--
    --Ridiculous!
[13:16] ---
    Abilities are just abilities,
    no matter how far they are carried.
[13:19] ---
    How the power is
    used depends on the person.
[13:22] ---
    You are a fool if you have not
    realized something so obvious!
[13:28] ---
    You are afraid of power?
[13:30] ---
    You don't want it because it hurts others?
[13:33] ---
    Please, do not make me laugh.
[13:36] ---
    Whether or not you have power,
[13:38] ---
    it does not change the fact that
    you are someone who hurts others!
[13:43] ---
    It turns out that your way of
    talking is nothing more
[13:45] ---
    than a sneaky evasion of
    your openly condescending attitude,
[13:49] ---
    in which you think you are special,
    and those around you are average!
[13:53] ---
    And right now, I am going
    to take that cankered nature...
[13:57] ---
    ...and beat it out of you!
[14:00] ---
    No...
[14:02] ---
    No, stay back...!
[15:14] ---
    I'll kill you.
[15:16] ---
    How dare you make me crack like that.
[15:19] ---
    If it weren't for you...
[15:21] ---
    I still could have been somebody!
[15:28] ---
    My Move Point can move
    a maximum of 4520 kilograms.
[15:33] ---
    I can hit this place,
    even from far away.
[15:36] ---
    You, to say nothing of
    this building, will be destroyed!
[15:40] ---
    Oh, did you still need that case?
[15:47] ---
    I'm gonna destroy you!
[15:50] ---
    Because you're the
    one who destroyed me.
[15:52] ---
    I have to get you back in full for that!
[16:02] ---
    Sissy...
[16:18] ---
    4520... kilograms...

    You've got some nerve, swindling a kid,
[17:48] ---
    then watching from a safe distance!
[17:55] ---
    What do I do?
[17:57] ---
    What do I do now?
[18:10] ---
    I gotta say...
[18:11] ---
    ...here I am, going to more
    than a bit of trouble to get out...
[18:16] ---
    ...and what do I find but
    some foolhardy third-string?
[18:20] ---
    It can't be...
[18:22] ---
    Accelerator? The one not
    even Railgun could deal with?
[18:26] ---
    The greatest Level 5
    in all of Academy City?
[18:30] ---
    He's too much!
[18:31] ---
    There's no way...
[18:33] ---
    There's no way I can
    go up against someone like--
[18:39] ---
    I know!
[18:40] ---
    Huh?
[18:41] ---
    I know you lost your power on August 31st!
[18:45] ---
    Yeah... You don't have
    the ability to calculate anymore!
[18:50] ---
    You no longer have the power you once did!
[18:55] ---
    I feel bad for you.
[18:57] ---
    If you actually
    mean what you're saying,
[18:59] ---
    then I feel so bad for
    you I could just hug you.
[19:02] ---
    It's true enough that on that day,
    I suffered some brain damage.
[19:06] ---
    Nowadays, I outsource my calculating.
[19:09] ---
    However, while I may have become weaker,
[19:13] ---
    it doesn't necessarily mean
    you've gotten any stronger, does it?
[19:18] ---
    Huh?!
[19:37] ---
    Sorry,
[19:38] ---
    but the way ahead goes only "One-Way!"
[19:41] ---
    Now tearfully tuck tail like a good girl,
[19:43] ---
    and go on back to wherever
    you came from in disgrace!
[20:01] ---
    But then,
[20:04] ---
    it's true, in the shape I'm in,
[20:06] ---
    I may have to step down
    as Academy City's top dog.
[20:10] ---
    But even so...
[20:14] ---
    I've decided to keep acting
    the top dog in front of that kid.
[20:20] ---
    Damn it all.
[20:26] ---
    Look, look, Toma! I finally mastered
    the method of buying drinks!
[20:32] ---
    Yeah.
[20:33] ---
    Hmm? What's the matter, Toma?
[20:36] ---
    Tell me what isn't the matter!
[20:39] ---
    I came to pay my respects to Shirai...
[20:44] ---
    There was nothing I could do,
[20:46] ---
    so I went to visit Misaka's sister, when...
[20:53] ---
    It's just my luck.
[20:54] ---
    So, what did the Remnant turn out to be?
[20:57] ---
    You heroically walked
    out with that naked girl,
[21:00] ---
    but after that,
    you didn't yield anything, right?
[21:02] ---
    Yeah. The girl behind it all
    had been beaten up by someone,
[21:07] ---
    and the contents of
    the case were strewn all over.
[21:09] ---
    Man, there's no telling
    who might have gotten to her.
[21:13] ---
    So as it turns out,
[21:14] ---
    Yomikawa says she was off
    smashing up the "Science Society."
[21:18] ---
    "Word is that they also
    had contact with Amai Ao,"
[21:21] ---
    reports Misaka Misaka.
[21:24] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[21:25] ---
    "Hey, why are you blowing
    it off like it's nothing?!"
[21:29] ---
    --asks Misaka Misaka--
    --Put a sock in it!
[21:31] ---
    Show me a little gratitude by
    just sitting there quietly for a bit.
[21:39] ---
    The weather forecast
    did not get it right, did it?
[21:43] ---
    Hmm, you're right.
[21:45] ---
    Sissy, I found something out.
[21:49] ---
    That place is the world in which you fight.
[21:53] ---
    Kuroko...
[21:56] ---
    Everything that happened
    was due to my inexperience.
[22:01] ---
    As such, Sissy, please smile, okay?
[22:06] ---
    I will look to that smile to
    get me back on my feet again.
[22:13] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[22:19] ---
    Thanks... Kuroko.
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[23:07] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:31] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!

    In just a few minutes,
[00:34] ---
    the Daihasei Festival's
    opening ceremony will begin.
[00:37] ---
    Here in Academy City,
[00:38] ---
    the place is filled with
    students' families and spectators!
[00:42] ---
    Get your Maid Bento lunches!
[00:44] ---
    Who wants one of Academy City's
    famous Maid Bento lunches?
[00:48] ---
    Get your Ryoran Household Arts
    School's Maid Bento lunches--
[00:51] ---
    or more precisely,
    Probationary Maid Lunches here!
[00:55] ---
    My, my, Academy City sure
    does have a lot of schools, doesn't it?
[00:59] ---
    Y-Yeah. It's a place where
    educational organizations
[01:03] ---
    from around the world are all
    concentrated into one location.
[01:06] ---
    E-Excuse me!
[01:07] ---
    No, I should apologize.
[01:10] ---
    Um, would you happen to know
    where Tokiwadai Middle School is?
[01:15] ---
    Huh? Oh, just a moment, please.
[01:18] ---
    Tokiwadai... Tokiwadai...
[01:21] ---
    It's not here.
    Perhaps it's not open to the public?
[01:25] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
    Then where could Mikoto be?!
[01:29] ---
    I-Is this Mikoto your
    younger sister, or someone?
[01:33] ---
    My, my...
[01:35] ---
    Not again, Toya.
[01:38] ---
    --Gah! It really isn't on here! What do I do?
    --Again, you say, Mom?
[01:42] ---
    Oh, isn't that Toma over there?
[01:44] ---
    Yeah, okay! If I happen to lose
    to you, I'll play your penalty game.
[01:49] ---
    I'll do whatever you tell me to do.
[01:52] ---
    All right, I'm in.
    Anything I say, right? Anything.
[01:55] ---
    In return, if you lose,
    you get the penalty game, too.
[01:59] ---
    Wha--? S-So then, you mean,
    a-anything you say...?
[02:04] ---
    Oh, dear, given the way you were
    shooting your mouth off just now,
[02:08] ---
    is that really all the
    confidence you've got?
[02:11] ---
    Okay, fine. Let's do this, why don't we?
[02:14] ---
    But don't come crying to me later!
[02:17] ---
    My, my...
[02:20] ---
    Looks like Mikoto is doing well.

[03:54] ---
    The Daihasei Festival opening
    ceremony is about to start, right?
[03:58] ---
    I would think a word of greeting
    would be necessary, would it not?
[04:02] ---
    Do you think that I go
    out in public looking like I do?
[04:06] ---
    Then let us proceed
    with our discussion unabated.
[04:08] ---
    Concerning the magician who
    has made her way inside Academy City?
[04:13] ---
    Through security measures
    that have become lax.
[04:16] ---
    There are two of them that
    we have identified as of right now.
[04:19] ---
    An officer of the Roman Orthodox
    Church, and a courier in her employ.
[04:24] ---
    Their objective is said to be
    a transaction for a certain item.
[04:28] ---
    A certain item?
[04:31] ---
    Up you go...
[04:33] ---
    A sword?
[04:35] ---
    This is a replica,
[04:37] ---
    but it's the "Stab Sword."
[04:39] ---
    It is even claimed to be the sword that
    pierced a dragon, binding it to the ground.
[04:43] ---
    If it were to end up in the wrong hands,
    the English Puritan Church
[04:46] ---
    could find itself quickly
    placed in a dire predicament.
[04:49] ---
    Then you might call it a
    tactical weapon among your world.
[04:53] ---
    Our greatest problem is that
    the transaction for the Stab Sword
[04:57] ---
    is being held there
    within Academy City.
[05:01] ---
    Which would mean that that young man
[05:04] ---
    must be appointed as a traveling guide.
[05:10] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[05:11] ---
    I think I might be hungry!
[05:13] ---
    Huh? You just barely
    ate breakfast, didn't you?
[05:15] ---
    But the most indescribable aromas
    are floating around me everywhere,
[05:19] ---
    and it doesn't make any difference!
[05:21] ---
    Ah, Japanese cuisine may be a
    mass of temptation called appetite!
[05:26] ---
    Yeah, all right, all right.
    I'll take you around later on.
[05:30] ---
    Later on?
[05:31] ---
    Yeah. The first event is about to start.
[05:34] ---
    The events that I'm taking
    part in today are marked in there.
[05:38] ---
    Let's go, Index.
[05:40] ---
    T-Toma seems like he's
    incredibly no-nonsense today.
[05:51] ---
    Ugh... I so don't wanna do this.
[05:54] ---
    Guys, what's with all this
    down-and-out spirit, on the first day?
[05:57] ---
    We've been arguing over how
    we're going to beat the other schools,
[06:01] ---
    and our already limited strength has
    been reduced to near zero. What of it?
[06:05] ---
    You put the cart before
    the horse, you know!
[06:07] ---
    That's just how competition
    between students is.
[06:10] ---
    Just my luck.
[06:12] ---
    What's the deal with this lack of energy?!
[06:18] ---
    Let me guess, Kamijo!
    You're so inappropriately lazy,
[06:21] ---
    now it's spreading to all the others!
[06:23] ---
    I just barely got here, myself!
[06:25] ---
    So in other words, you showed up late,
[06:27] ---
    sucking out the enthusiasm from the others!
[06:29] ---
    Fukiyose, you got here later than I did!
[06:32] ---
    I was on steering
    committee business, you idiot!
[06:35] ---
    Just leave me alone.
[06:36] ---
    Kamijo, face-to-face
    with his unfortunate reality,
[06:39] ---
    is finding it difficult
    to rise to his feet.
[06:42] ---
    That's just a little anemia.
[06:44] ---
    Here, top yourself
    off with this sports drink!
[06:47] ---
    I happen to not like folks
    who use bad luck or misfortune
[06:50] ---
    as an excuse to cut corners
    as they live their lives!
[06:53] ---
    When you slack off, the enthusiasm
    of those around you also dries up!
[06:55] ---
    So snap to, already, snap to!
[07:03] ---
    U-Um...
[07:06] ---
    Th-That is...
[07:11] ---
    Have you got something to say?
[07:13] ---
    N-No, I do not! No!
[07:22] ---
    This is no time for
    anyone to be tower toppling.
[07:25] ---
    It really could be hopeless.
[07:26] ---
    Like I said,
    you have to acknowledge
[07:28] ---
    that there are deficiencies
    in our facilities!
[07:30] ---
    But that is in no way a
    reflection on the students!
[07:33] ---
    It's because your students
    are of such poor quality
[07:35] ---
    that you don't receive more money
    from the governing board, right?
[07:38] ---
    Ha! It must make work extra hard,
    being saddled with rejects, huh?
[07:43] ---
    Th-The students are neither
    successes nor failures!
[07:47] ---
    The only thing they
    are is their own individuals!
[07:49] ---
    That's quite the dreamlike
    opinion you have of them,
[07:52] ---
    but I will see your
    left-behinds crushed to pieces
[07:55] ---
    in the tower topple
    that is about to start.
[08:02] ---
    No you won't.
[08:04] ---
    They are not all left-behinds,
    after all, are they?
[08:13] ---
    Hey, guys... I'm gonna
    ask you one more time...
[08:19] ---
    Are you really not up for this?!
[08:21] ---
    The first event is the tower topple.
[08:23] ---
    The schools are now taking the field.
[08:26] ---
    He's so reckless. There's no
    way they're going to beat our school.
[08:30] ---
    Oh...
[08:32] ---
    I'm so hungry...
[08:36] ---
    She doesn't have
    heatstroke or anything, right?
[08:44] ---
    You really are
    just hungry, aren't you?
[08:47] ---
    What are you doing here,
    short-hair? Cheering on Toma?
[08:51] ---
    W-Why would I have
    to be cheering that guy on?
[08:55] ---
    I mean, we've got a bet as
    to which team is going to win.
[08:58] ---
    And I'm obviously
    the one who's going to win...
[09:01] ---
    Huh? What do I do when I win?
[09:05] ---
    He said he would
    do whatever I tell him to...
[09:06] ---
    Ah! It's Toma!
[09:15] ---
    What on earth is he ready for?
[09:17] ---
    D-Don't tell me he
    seriously means to win this!
[09:20] ---
    What is he planning
    to demand of me if he wins?!
[09:23] ---
    Ready... begin!
[09:42] ---
    W-What's going on, everyone,
    to make you try that hard out there?
[09:47] ---
    Even if you won,
[09:49] ---
    seeing you worn ragged
    like that makes me... makes me...
[09:56] ---
    Hey, Index!
[10:00] ---
    Geez, what am
    I going to do with her?
[10:02] ---
    Ah, my cell... is in my bag.
[10:35] ---
    I-I'm just here to get my cell phone,
[10:37] ---
    so I can meet up with a lost child.
[10:40] ---
    In no way did I mean
    anything improper by this...
[10:47] ---
    Huh?
[10:50] ---
    There you are! Toma!
[10:52] ---
    Huh? Toma,
    why are your eyes watering?
[10:56] ---
    Where is your cell phone?
[10:58] ---
    It's right here!
[10:59] ---
    Then why don't you answer it?!
[11:02] ---
    The battery's dead.
[11:04] ---
    Never mind that, I'm hungry.
    Give me something to eat, Toma.
[11:09] ---
    Ugh... If we go to the booth area,
    they'll have tons of food there.
[11:13] ---
    Tons of it!
[11:14] ---
    "Notice-- No thoroughfare"
[11:17] ---
    Oh, sorry. The parade
    through here is starting soon.
[11:22] ---
    Um, we'd like to cross over to there.
[11:25] ---
    There's an underground mall
    about three kilometers
[11:27] ---
    to the west where you can get across.
[11:29] ---
    Three kilometers?
[11:30] ---
    I can almost reach out and touch it, but...
[11:33] ---
    Yeah... Just tough it out
    until the giant ball roll is over.
[11:38] ---
    To... ma...
[11:40] ---
    Huh? Why are you...
[11:43] ---
    Hold on!
[11:48] ---
    Yeah! I caught you!
    You're going to ensure my victory!
[11:56] ---
    First place in the scavenger hunt
    goes to Tokiwadai Middle School
[11:59] ---
    contestant Misaka Mikoto!
[12:03] ---
    The scavenger hunt?
[12:04] ---
    Yep. "A high school student
    who competed in the first event."
[12:08] ---
    You happen to fit that bill, right?
[12:11] ---
    Ah... There are any number of
    other guys who meet that condition--
[12:17] ---
    Hey, what are you doing!
[12:24] ---
    Oh, geez. Here, drink some of this.
[12:30] ---
    In fact, what the heck, you can have it!
[12:39] ---
    Wow...
[12:41] ---
    While the rest of us were
    out toiling under the blazing sun
[12:44] ---
    and I thought about how
    you have to rest, Miss Shirai,
[12:47] ---
    I just couldn't stand it anymore,
[12:50] ---
    so I wanted you to
    come give us a hand at work.
[12:55] ---
    Thanks for the overly
    charming sense of friendship.
[12:58] ---
    So, have any problems come up?
[13:01] ---
    Not at the moment.
[13:02] ---
    Securing first prize,
    contestant Misaka Mikoto
[13:05] ---
    maintains her posture
    even after reaching the goal,
[13:07] ---
    and shows off how
    much energy she still has to spare.

    fellow contributor who ran with her
[13:18] ---
    was also impressive.

[13:37] ---
    She's been out of my sight for
    a while now. I hope Index is okay.
[13:48] ---
    What's he...
[13:57] ---
    Security around Academy City
    has been softened these days,
[14:00] ---
    to be more welcoming to
    general public spectators, right?
[14:02] ---
    Some magicians have taken
    advantage of that fact to sneak in.
[14:07] ---
    At present, we have
    identified two of them.
[14:10] ---
    Lidvia Lorenzetti,
    of the Roman Orthodox Church,
[14:13] ---
    and the courier she
    has hired, Oriana Thomson.
[14:16] ---
    Courier?
[14:17] ---
    They are here in the city attempting
    to conduct a transaction
[14:19] ---
    for a relic that has been
    handed down through the church.
[14:22] ---
    Why would they do that here?
[14:24] ---
    Academy City is the place that
    has the least to do with the occult.
[14:26] ---
    All the more reason.
[14:29] ---
    This is where the Academy City
    side and the magic side
[14:31] ---
    will both have
    trouble interfering with them.
[14:34] ---
    The only one who can act is your
    acquaintance, who has come to Academy City.
[14:39] ---
    Well, what about Kanzaki?
    She's a saint or something, as I recall.
[14:43] ---
    Kanzaki cannot be used. Especially for this.
[14:47] ---
    After all, the relic being
    traded is this relic.
[14:49] ---
    Huh? What does that mean?
[14:52] ---
    Kami, this relic's name is the "Stab Sword."
[14:57] ---
    Word is, it's something that
    can spell instant death for any saint.
[15:01] ---
    Look out!
[15:03] ---
    Yikes!
[15:03] ---
    Huh? What for?
[15:08] ---
    What do you think
    you're doing, Kamijo Toma?!
[15:14] ---
    Do you know how the
    "Son of God" who was crucified
[15:18] ---
    was actually killed, Kami?
[15:20] ---
    I believe... he died on the cross.
[15:23] ---
    He was speared to death.
[15:25] ---
    The Stab Sword is a
[15:27] ---
    relic that distills the
    religious significance of the
[15:30] ---
    execution and spearing, and amplifies,
    condenses, and focuses it to the extreme.
[15:35] ---
    It has no effect on a regular person,
[15:37] ---
    but if a saint is involved, it boasts
    the power to kill them in one strike.
[15:41] ---
    What are the magicians planning,
    dealing for something like that?
[15:46] ---
    A war, of course. In the world of magic,
[15:49] ---
    saints amount to the same
    thing as tactical weapons.
[15:52] ---
    But there are still plenty of
    magicians who aren't saints, right?
[15:56] ---
    I get the feeling that you
    could fight even without Kanzaki.
[15:59] ---
    That's not what the problem is.
[16:03] ---
    It's not about whether
    or not one can actually win,
[16:06] ---
    it's when the illusion is provided
    that one might be able to win
[16:09] ---
    that wars tend to break out.
[16:13] ---
    But, if the problem is that serious,
[16:15] ---
    shouldn't we be enlisting
    Index's cooperation?
[16:18] ---
    No can do. We can't use the
    List of Prohibited Books for this one.
[16:23] ---
    We can't let her get
    anywhere near the site,
[16:25] ---
    nor can we tell her any
    information about this incident.
[16:30] ---
    Why not?
[16:31] ---
    Because outside magicians
    will concentrate their search on her,
[16:34] ---
    thinking that if anything happens,
    she'll be at the center of it.
[16:38] ---
    If she makes any moves,
    any magicians who take notice
[16:41] ---
    will unanimously come swarming in on her.
[16:45] ---
    "S-71 Central Gymnasium Rear"
[16:45] ---
    In other words, you're saying
    we have to do everything we can
[16:49] ---
    to keep Index from noticing any magic.
[16:55] ---
    When I came running
    after Miss Yomikawa called me,
[16:58] ---
    you were as limp as
    unsold vegetables still on the shelf,
[17:00] ---
    so I really was shocked.
[17:06] ---
    Thank you, that was delicious!
[17:09] ---
    I have to wonder, though,
    where did Toma go off to?
[17:12] ---
    It's almost time for lunch.
[17:15] ---
    U-Um, wasn't this just lunch?
[17:18] ---
    I...
[17:21] ---
    ...have been like this all day.
[17:23] ---
    Am I growing apart from Toma?
[17:27] ---
    Hmm... Yes, you're right.
    I'm sure you would like to enjoy
[17:31] ---
    the Daihasei Festival
    together with Kamijo, Sister.
[17:35] ---
    It's all right!
[17:37] ---
    There is something that
    you can participate in, too, Sister!
[17:40] ---
    Huh?
[17:43] ---
    She's not here.
    Has she really become a lost child?
[17:48] ---
    Why have you
    had that look on your face,
[17:51] ---
    like you're about to
    begin a final boss battle?
[17:54] ---
    You look like you're ready to
    die at any moment.
[17:57] ---
    If you're hungry,
    how about eating a Bento lunch?
[17:59] ---
    Never mind me, have you seen
    Index around anywhere?
[18:04] ---
    If you mean the Sister,
    she was walking around over there.
[18:06] ---
    Thanks!
[18:08] ---
    It looked like she was being
    led by the hand, by that famous
[18:12] ---
    mini-sized teacher from your school.
[18:19] ---
    Index?
[18:26] ---
    It's just you, huh? Where's Index?
[18:31] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[18:33] ---
    I really hate to have to
    make you change clothes here.
[18:46] ---
    Toma! Maybe you should
    count how many times this makes!
[18:54] ---
    I-In--
[18:54] ---
    W-Wah!
[18:59] ---
    Er, um, Miss Index...?
[19:02] ---
    It's all right. It was just an accident.
[19:04] ---
    You don't have to take it so seriously.
[19:08] ---
    --Uh-oh...
    --Kamijo!
[19:09] ---
    Here I am, on steering committee
    business, looking for Miss Tsukuyomi,
[19:12] ---
    and what do I see?
[19:23] ---
    ...you big traitor!
[19:28] ---
    For crying out loud,
    can't you put a little effort
[19:31] ---
    into making the tournament a success?
[19:33] ---
    Just which event is
    our school competing in now?
[19:36] ---
    Why can't you even remember that much?!
[19:39] ---
    I get it! You aren't getting
    enough nutrients to the brain,
[19:41] ---
    so start ingesting a little more sugar!
[19:43] ---
    D-Doing so won't do
    anything to fix Kamijo's stupidity!
[19:47] ---
    Doesn't it even pain you to say it yourself?
[19:50] ---
    It's the 2nd-Year girls' tug of war
[19:51] ---
    and the 3rd-Year boys' all-star triathlon.
[19:54] ---
    Which should you be rooting for?
    It's gotta be the girls.
[19:57] ---
    Yeah, of course, you are Kamijo, after all.
[19:59] ---
    Just don't grab the collar anymore!
[20:02] ---
    Okay, here.
[20:05] ---
    Come on, hurry up!
[20:13] ---
    Hey, Kamijo, do you find
    the Daihasei Festival boring?
[20:16] ---
    Huh?
[20:17] ---
    You seem a little erratic,
    like your mind is on something else.
[20:23] ---
    And if you feel like today has been boring,
[20:26] ---
    it means that as a member
    of the steering committee,
[20:29] ---
    who got all of this ready,
    something I did was inadequate.
[20:32] ---
    No, I don't particularly think it's boring.
[20:34] ---
    Sure, as someone
    who put together the planning
[20:36] ---
    and worked hard on it up to today,
[20:38] ---
    I'm going to want to make sure
    everyone has a good time, you know?
[20:43] ---
    Maybe that's a little selfish of me.
[20:50] ---
    It looks like it's no use,
    since your mind is elsewhere, huh?!
[20:53] ---
    No, it's not!
[20:54] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[21:01] ---
    Get away from me, Kamijo Toma!
[21:06] ---
    Oh, my...
[21:10] ---
    Sorry. I'm not quite accustomed
    to having so many people around.
[21:13] ---
    --Not at all...
    --Whoa...
[21:15] ---
    Are you all right? Does it hurt anywhere?
[21:18] ---
    Your forehead is turning red.
[21:21] ---
    No, I...
[21:23] ---
    To apologize for running into you.
[21:26] ---
    Or would you prefer a kiss?
[21:27] ---
    Yes! A kiss would be--
[21:29] ---
    Ee-yow...
[21:32] ---
    Well then...
[21:37] ---
    I have to be getting back to work. Bye, now.
[21:51] ---
    Hello? This is Oriana Thomson.
[21:54] ---
    Can you hear me?
[21:55] ---
    Refrain from using your real name.
[21:57] ---
    Everyone around you
    can hear your voice, can't they?
[22:00] ---
    Never mind about that,
    I've run into a little trouble.
[22:03] ---
    It looks like that spell
    you used on me has been broken.
[22:07] ---
    What was the cause?
[22:08] ---
    I don't know.
[22:11] ---
    It's kind of a turn-on.
[22:13] ---
    Watch those indecent expressions.
    Can you take any countermeasures?
[22:17] ---
    Let's see... First of all,
[22:19] ---
    I'll have to give this
    boy behind me the slip.
[22:25] ---

[23:55] ---
    We are made fools of as
    Oriana runs away from us.
[23:57] ---
    Stiyl risks his life to
    research the spell that she casts.
[24:01] ---
    And then, the place that we locate...
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Route Disturb."
[24:05] ---

[00:31] ---
    Academy City is bustling over
    the Daihasei Festival.
[00:34] ---
    Taking advantage of that fact,
    a transaction for the Stab Sword,
[00:37] ---
    a relic capable of killing a
    saint in one blow, is to be held.
[00:40] ---
    Their courier's name
    is Oriana Thomson.
[00:44] ---
    And by chance, I just came in contact
    with someone who might be her.
[01:08] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:11] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[01:16] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:20] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:26] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:32] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[01:42] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:47] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:53] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:58] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:05] ---
    No buts!
[02:30] ---
    Hey there, Kami.
[02:33] ---
    I've currently got eyes on a spot
[02:34] ---
    that Oriana is likely to use for the deal--
[02:36] ---
    Tsuchimikado...
[02:37] ---
    I just shook hands with
    someone, and at that moment,
[02:40] ---
    my Imagine Breaker
    broke something down.
[02:43] ---
    I don't know what it is, exactly,
[02:45] ---
    but she doesn't strike me
    as a student, you might say.
[02:48] ---
    Did she happen to be
    carrying a large package?
[02:51] ---
    Yeah. She's carrying
    what looks to be a signboard.
[02:53] ---
    Kami, where are you right now?
[02:57] ---
    Right now, I'm following her.
[02:59] ---
    I'm sending you my GPS codes,
    so you can search for me that way.
[03:08] ---
    She spotted me!
[03:22] ---
    Whoa!
[03:30] ---
    Which one, Kami?
[03:31] ---
    The blond woman wearing the work uniform.
[03:42] ---
    Those two are pros, huh?
[03:44] ---
    My instructions were
    not to engage anyone in town,
[03:47] ---
    but they won't make it easy.
[04:00] ---
    Something's off about
    her pattern of behavior.
[04:03] ---
    Has she changed her mind?
[04:09] ---
    A bus terminal?
[04:11] ---
    A servicing station for the auto-buses.
[04:19] ---
    A trap?! Get down, Kami!
[04:20] ---
    You're up.
[04:26] ---
    Stop screwing around!
[04:28] ---
    No, that was some nice
    team play, if I do say so myself.
[04:31] ---
    Having a clear division of
    labor will make it easier for us to act.
[04:36] ---
    Look, you...
[04:37] ---
    So go ahead and complete your job.
[04:43] ---
    Like I said, hold on!
[04:46] ---
    Hey!
[04:53] ---
    Stiyl, you post your runes
    around and stand by here.
[04:57] ---
    I'll pin down the courier.
[04:59] ---
    Roger that.
[05:01] ---
    So, Kami, what are you gonna do?
[05:04] ---
    I think it's safer for you to stay here.
[05:07] ---
    I'll...
[05:08] ---
    I also think it's safer
    for you to remain here.
[05:12] ---
    I'm talking my safety, though, not yours.
[05:25] ---
    These are decoys, meant to buy time!
[05:27] ---
    If you take every last one of
    them on, she's gonna get away!
[05:30] ---
    That's easy for you to say!
[05:39] ---
    There she is!
[05:45] ---
    Kami, if you would!
[05:46] ---
    Huh? If I would what?!
[06:26] ---
    Oriana "Route Disturb" Thomson, huh?
    Now she's messing with us!
[06:35] ---
    E-Excuse me!
[06:37] ---
    Are you all right--
[06:39] ---
    Oh, no, I should be
    the one to say I'm sorry.
[06:44] ---
    This spell is called
    "Four Ways to Truth."
[06:47] ---
    Using this, we will
    search out Oriana's location.
[06:50] ---
    You shouldn't be using magic, should you?
[06:53] ---
    Which is why I'm going to get some help.
[07:03] ---
    Traveling on the wind, conveying
    not air, but will to the location.
[07:32] ---
    "Traveling on the wind, conveying
    not air, but will to the location."
[07:37] ---
    Right?
[07:44] ---
    Stiyl!
[07:45] ---
    Kami!
[07:46] ---
    Go give Stiyl a slug!
[07:58] ---
    What was that just now?
[08:00] ---
    Some form of trace
    prevention spell, or something?
[08:05] ---
    Nope, there's no sign of that.
[08:08] ---
    There's probably some kind
    of interception spell set up
[08:11] ---
    that is triggered to react automatically
    to Stiyl's magic individually.
[08:16] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:17] ---
    That Stiyl can no longer
    use any magic directed at Oriana?
[08:21] ---
    Oh, man, that's a devil
    of a thing to have in there.
[08:26] ---
    For one person to be able
    to pull off detecting a life force,
[08:30] ---
    analyze it, trace it back,
    and then apply a counterattack...
[08:34] ---
    I guess that's Route Disturb for you.
[08:37] ---
    Route Disturb?
[08:39] ---
    Oriana Thomson's other name.
[08:42] ---
    Be that as it may, there's something
    about her impersonal methods
[08:45] ---
    that strikes me as being
    familiar. But it couldn't be.
[08:49] ---
    I can't believe that she
    would be in possession of one.
[08:52] ---
    Well, Stiyl, I was thinking
    the exact same thing.
[08:57] ---
    Are you serious? But if that's true,
[08:59] ---
    that wouldn't make her
    a magician, but a sorceress.
[09:03] ---
    What are you
    talking about? What is it she has?
[09:06] ---
    Something that is packed with
    magical knowledge,
[09:09] ---
    itself activating as its own
    magical array,
[09:12] ---
    independent of the magician's will--
[09:15] ---
    an original grimoire text.
[09:16] ---
    But to create a grimoire to fit
    these circumstances would be...
[09:21] ---
    The original text could be
    just a scribbled note.
[09:24] ---
    It would have a limited
    effectiveness,
[09:26] ---
    and should break down soon.
[09:29] ---
    "Shorthand," you might call it.
[09:31] ---
    So then, what does
    that mean we should do?
[09:34] ---
    First, we take out the
    automatic intercept spell,
[09:38] ---
    so we can use Stiyl's magic.
[09:40] ---
    What are the chances of her fleeing
    the search area while we do so?
[09:45] ---
    If she was sure she
    could get away clean,
[09:48] ---
    I don't think she would take the trouble
[09:49] ---
    to set up an intercept spell, do you?
[09:51] ---
    Hmm...
[09:52] ---
    Stiyl, use your magic, on anything you like.
[09:59] ---
    A divination circle.
[10:01] ---
    A yet-unused magical array,
    which doesn't employ anyone's magic.
[10:05] ---
    This will activate in response
    to the magic of the intercept spell,
[10:08] ---
    providing us with
    direction and distance.
[10:11] ---
    Now then...
[10:12] ---
    Hey, Tsuchimikado,
[10:14] ---
    in order to make that work,
    won't Stiyl have to once again...?
[10:17] ---
    Once again?
[10:19] ---
    Who said anything about that?
[10:21] ---
    If we don't find the
    location of the Shorthand,
[10:23] ---
    we'll have no choice but
    to keep trying over and over.
[10:26] ---
    Why, you...
[10:27] ---
    Kami, you seem to have forgotten,
    so let me remind you of something.
[10:31] ---
    Lives are at stake in this battle.
[10:33] ---
    Enough so that it could steer
    nations or the world into decline.
[10:38] ---
    Let's do it.
[10:40] ---
    But you'll...!
[10:41] ---
    Don't get so chummy, Kamijo Toma.
[10:44] ---
    If it will bring an end to all of this,
    then there is no problem.
[10:47] ---
    In return, you pinpoint the location
    of the intercept spell, no matter what.
[10:51] ---
    Okay. We will make
    certain to preserve the life
[10:54] ---
    that Index leads for
    herself in Academy City.
[10:56] ---
    That was your condition, right?
[11:02] ---
    Kamijo Toma...
[11:03] ---
    I do not appreciate the
    fact that you are here right now.
[11:08] ---
    Why are you not at her side?
[11:10] ---
    If her face grows somber because of this,
[11:13] ---
    it will all be your fault.
[11:19] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:34] ---
    Here I wanted to change
    clothes to show off to Toma,
[11:38] ---
    but it looks like he took
    off somewhere on his own.
[11:41] ---
    S-Sister, don't be
    so disheartened about it.
[11:45] ---
    I'm sure that Kamijo had
    some important reason for doing so.
[11:54] ---
    Ooh, that Kamijo Toma...
[11:55] ---
    Geez, I take my eyes off of him
    for a second, and he disappears.
[12:00] ---
    Teacher!
[12:02] ---
    Fukiyose!
[12:04] ---
    What are you doing
    out here, in the public view?
[12:08] ---
    If she's feeling a little delirious,
[12:10] ---
    a stimulant like this capsicum
    will turn her thoughts back outward.
[12:14] ---
    N-No...
[12:15] ---
    That's all right.
    Everything is all right, Fukiyose.
[12:19] ---
    It is?
[12:22] ---
    Where's Toma?
[12:24] ---
    Where could Toma have gone?
[12:30] ---
    Here it comes.
[12:32] ---
    The divination circle
    is responding. Hey, Kami!
[12:35] ---
    You have a map, don't you?
[12:38] ---
    Yeah, you've got that
    GPS map on your cell phone.
[12:41] ---
    In that case, bring it here.
[12:43] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[12:45] ---
    How can you be so coldhearted?!
[12:48] ---
    Who do you think Stiyl
    has deliberately gotten hurt for?!
[12:51] ---
    Kami, he is a professional magician.
[12:54] ---
    He has at least enough attack
    resistance to handle this spell.
[12:59] ---
    Tsuchimikado, are you...?
[13:02] ---
    The divination circle responds
    to the magic power of incoming spells
[13:06] ---
    to tell us their distance and direction.
[13:08] ---
    There's no way such a handy little item
[13:11] ---
    can be activated without
    using some magic power, right?
[13:16] ---
    If I were able to
    use more decent magic,
[13:19] ---
    Stiyl wouldn't have
    had to go through this.
[13:21] ---
    I'll admit that. So go ahead and
    blame me as much as you want.
[13:25] ---
    However, I will make sure that
    I find that Shorthand and destroy it.
[13:30] ---
    Then, I will catch Oriana,
[13:32] ---
    and personally see to it that
    the Stab Sword deal is off for good.
[13:36] ---
    Kami, your map.
[13:39] ---
    I want to know what
    there is at the position
[13:41] ---
    302 meters northwest of here.
    I'm sure that's where the Shorthand is.
[13:45] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[13:52] ---
    It's...
[13:55] ---
    A middle school?!
[13:57] ---
    "10 minutes until the middle
    school ball toss competition"
[14:00] ---
    It's at an event grounds?
[14:02] ---
    And it's about to start, too.
[14:04] ---
    The spectators and
    cameras are already there.
[14:07] ---
    We can't just sneak
    our way around this time.
[14:09] ---
    Then, what do we do?
    We can't just not do anything, right?
[14:13] ---
    All we can do is
    slip in there as contestants.
[14:15] ---
    Are you serious?
    We're high-schoolers!
[14:19] ---
    Blending in as middle-schoolers won't work--
[14:23] ---
    Damn!
[14:25] ---
    There's a risk that the intercept
    spell might turn on others, too.
[14:30] ---
    Huh?
[14:31] ---
    Do you know what the simplest
    magic ritual in the world is?
[14:35] ---
    It's touching.
[14:37] ---
    A regular person with
    no knowledge of magic
[14:39] ---
    still has a chance of activating
    the intercept spell by touching it.
[14:42] ---
    If that happens, not having
    the kind of defenses a magician has,
[14:46] ---
    they will be in quite a bit of danger.
[14:48] ---
    At any rate, Kami,
[14:50] ---
    we're going to handle that
    intercept spell before it hurts anyone.
[14:53] ---
    All right!
[14:54] ---
    And with that in mind...!
[15:04] ---
    Kami!
[15:09] ---
    Excuse me...
[15:11] ---
    We have to compete in this event,
[15:13] ---
    but do we really have
    to enter, looking like this?
[15:17] ---
    There will be cameras,
    and everything...
[15:19] ---
    You take the cake.
[15:21] ---
    I don't suppose you
    have a change of gym clothes?
[15:23] ---
    Ah, yes we do!
    But they're in the club room.
[15:27] ---
    Uh-huh. Well, hurry up and change.
[15:30] ---
    Rules are still rules,
    though, so I need to check your IDs.
[15:36] ---
    --Tsuchimika--
    --Okay, okay!
[15:38] ---
    I'll slap that right down!
[15:41] ---
    Gah! Hey! Can't you wipe
    your hand off before using it?!
[15:45] ---
    Never mind, go ahead.
    They don't allow late entrants.
[15:49] ---
    Thank you very much!
[15:54] ---
    Hey, we can't blend into
    the competition looking like this!
[15:57] ---
    Oh, I'm guessing there
    are some changes of clothes
[16:00] ---
    in the nurse's office.
[16:03] ---
    The next event will be 200 students
    from Minamizawa Middle School
[16:08] ---
    versus 20 students from
    Tokiwadai Middle School,
[16:09] ---
    "Five minutes until the middle
    school ball toss competition"
[16:12] ---
    in the ball toss competition.
[16:26] ---
    The smell of defeat on
    them is strong. Ah, stinky, stinky!
[16:34] ---
    Just what is the meaning of this?
[16:37] ---
    What are you doing over there?! Huh?!
[16:43] ---
    Eh? Tokiwadai Middle School?!
[16:45] ---
    They have some
    fearsome espers over there.
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, well, let's watch
    out for stray shots then, Kami.
[16:54] ---
    If the Shorthand is
    set up here, then where is it?
[16:57] ---
    The baskets are the most likely place.
[16:59] ---
    There are probably baskets
    that are borrowed from elsewhere,
[17:01] ---
    so they could have been
    rigged outside beforehand.
[17:05] ---
    I'll check out each pole basket in order.
[17:08] ---
    Kami, your work begins
    once I find the Shorthand.
[17:16] ---
    "Daihasei Festival Steering Committee"
[17:16] ---
    Take your positions, get set...
[17:19] ---
    ...and begin!
[17:26] ---
    Don't flinch at that! Charge in, Kami!
[17:29] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[17:44] ---
    Tsuchimikado?
[17:45] ---
    Not this one, Kami. Onto the next one!
[17:56] ---
    Kami, not this one either!
[17:58] ---
    --Come on!
    --A little more!
[18:00] ---
    --Don't let them get you!
    --Hang in there!
[18:03] ---
    --Hey, don't push!
    --Ow! Stop it!
[18:05] ---
    --Yikes!
    --It's falling over!
[18:14] ---
    Watch out!
[18:16] ---
    Kami, use my back!
[18:25] ---
    Hurry and get out of here!
[18:47] ---
    I can't believe you...
[18:49] ---
    You'd go this far...
[18:52] ---
    ...just to make me play
    your penalty game, will you?!
[19:04] ---
    Sheesh!
[19:05] ---
    I didn't have much choice,
    what with you being in danger, did I?
[19:10] ---
    Misaka!
[19:12] ---
    Wait, Misaka!
[19:14] ---
    W-What?
[19:17] ---
    Listen to me, Misaka.
    I'll explain everything later,
[19:20] ---
    but move away from there!
[19:22] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about now?
[19:25] ---
    And what are you even doing here?
    You explain yourself first, or I--
[19:34] ---
    You stay out of this!
[19:38] ---
    Misaka, don't argue, just come over here.
[19:41] ---
    Huh?
[19:42] ---
    You're in danger there!
[19:46] ---
    D-Don't be silly! I didn't need
    to have you helping me like that,
[19:52] ---
    I could have done it myself!
[19:54] ---
    And what is it you want to tell me?
[19:56] ---
    I told you, I'll tell you later!
[19:58] ---
    That spot is dangerous!
[20:00] ---
    I don't want you to get hurt!
[20:05] ---
    What are you, dumb?
[20:07] ---
    Y-You don't have to worry about me...
[20:09] ---
    ...over a competition such as this...
[20:15] ---
    Geez, don't go startling me,
    and making me blurt stuff out...
[20:21] ---
    Huh? What?!
[20:30] ---
    Keep quiet, and hold still for a second.
[20:33] ---
    Huh? U-Um...
[20:38] ---
    It can't be!
[20:40] ---
    Damn! Does it hurt that much,
    Misaka? Do you have a fever?
[20:44] ---
    I-It's nothing at all, really!
[20:47] ---
    Tsuchimikado! Over on this pole!
[20:50] ---
    "Property of Nogi Middle School"
[20:51] ---
    I was wrong?
[20:55] ---
    Kamijo Toma! What are you doing here?!
[20:59] ---
    I was wondering why you
    ran off in such a hurry earlier,
[21:01] ---
    but what are you doing here?
[21:03] ---
    In any case, we have to
    start the whole event over!
[21:14] ---
    Fukiyose!
[21:16] ---
    W-What?
[21:21] ---
    Kami, go hit Fukiyose! She's not a magician!
[21:24] ---
    She won't be able to take any more of this!
[21:35] ---
    Fukiyose, are you okay?
[21:38] ---
    Fukiyose!
[22:00] ---
    Okay, fine, Oriana Thomson...
[22:06] ---
    If this is the way you're going to play it...
[22:09] ---
    After you so ruthlessly
    drag innocent bystanders in,
[22:12] ---
    if you're just going to watch
    on and feel nothing about it...
[22:17] ---
    ...then I'll take your screwed-up fantasy...
[22:20] ---
    ...and personally dispatch
    it until there's nothing left!
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system

[23:06] ---

    to God become opened
[23:13] ---

    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:30] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[23:55] ---

    Fukiyose has collapsed.
[23:56] ---
    Plus there's Stiyl and Tsuchimikado.
[23:59] ---
    If the reason behind this
    whole conflict is the Stab Sword,
[24:02] ---
    then I swear I will smash the thing!

    How is the critical-care patient?
[00:32] ---
    She still hasn't regained consciousness.
[00:34] ---
    Could it be heat stroke?
[00:37] ---
    Heat stroke?
[00:39] ---
    Oh, right, I collapsed.
[00:42] ---
    Why is that? I made sure to
    hydrate, and got plenty of sleep...
[00:50] ---
    It seems ridiculous.
[00:52] ---
    Fukiyose, are you okay?
[00:55] ---
    Fukiyose!
[00:58] ---
    Is he going to look at
    me like that from now on?
[01:04] ---
    I hope not.
[01:05] ---
    And I worked so hard to make sure
    that everyone had an enjoyable time.
[01:20] ---
    Am I... going to live...?

    "#10 Shorthand (Stenographic Sourcebook)"
[03:10] ---
    I lose just a bit of my edge,
    and this is what happens to me?
[03:18] ---
    Kami has destroyed Oriana's Shorthand.
[03:22] ---
    Notice any difference
    in the shape you're in?
[03:27] ---
    I'm in business.
    There doesn't seem to be any problem.
[03:30] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[03:31] ---
    In that case, could you cast the
    "Four Ways to Truth" search spell?
[03:35] ---
    It should still be where I set it up before.
[03:38] ---
    You know how to use it, right?
[03:40] ---
    Give me a little credit.
[03:42] ---
    Are you okay on your end?
[03:44] ---
    Oriana's intercept spell was
    supposed to be on an event ground.
[03:48] ---
    Not a problem.
[03:50] ---
    But one of the students did get taken out.
[03:53] ---
    We took advantage of the commotion
    to make our way out of there.
[03:57] ---
    I see.
[04:01] ---
    Is Kamijo Toma keeping it together?
[04:03] ---
    If you're squared away, get to it.
[04:06] ---
    Otherwise, we'll never make
    it up to the student who collapsed.
[04:15] ---
    It's not as though anyone is perfect.
[04:17] ---
    Which is precisely why I regret
    being so unseasoned... I guess.
[04:27] ---
    "Ball toss event has been delayed"
[04:30] ---
    This is an unexpected turn of events.
[04:35] ---
    I've identified Oriana Thomson's location.
[04:37] ---
    School District 7, near
    Futsuka Subway Station.
[04:40] ---
    Kami, Futsuka Station!
[04:42] ---
    Futsuka Station? We've gone too far!
[04:48] ---
    She's moving northward.
[04:50] ---
    The street divides three ways...
[04:53] ---
    There she is. You ready? She's up ahead...
[04:57] ---
    We've spotted her!
[05:16] ---
    --Tch!
    --A bus?!
[05:23] ---
    Damn!
[05:24] ---
    Hey, Kami, did the bus have
    any passengers besides Oriana?
[05:29] ---
    It doesn't really matter, does it?!
[05:30] ---
    Kami!
[05:32] ---
    No, there weren't!
    No passengers or driver!
[05:35] ---
    In that case, that's a relief.
[05:36] ---
    Stiyl, number 514457.
[05:48] ---
    It still had the rune that Stiyl
    stuck on it at the service center.
[06:03] ---
    You can't warm this young
    lady up using physical flames.
[06:10] ---
    But then, I have gotten a bit
    damp from the rushing around.
[06:14] ---
    Want to see?
[06:16] ---
    Even my undies are soaking.
[06:19] ---
    A completely uninvolved person collapsed
[06:21] ---
    because of the spell that you cast.
[06:23] ---
    In your view, did it look like
    she had anything to do with magic?
[06:28] ---
    There are no uninvolved people in the world.
[06:32] ---
    If I want to, I can involve anyone.
[06:36] ---
    Then you do know about her.
[06:38] ---
    I truly did not want for
    that girl to be hurt.
[06:41] ---
    Which makes that unlike this.
[06:48] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[06:50] ---
    Oh, my...
[06:52] ---
    Then you weren't the
    one who was hurt, were you?
[06:55] ---
    There sure are some unusual
    kids assembled here in Academy City.
[07:00] ---
    What did you do to Tsuchimikado?!
[07:03] ---
    I just cancelled out his flame attribute,
[07:05] ---
    the symbol of regeneration
    and restoration, with blue lettering.
[07:09] ---
    It's a spell that knocks out a person
[07:10] ---
    who has been injured any
    more than a certain amount.
[07:14] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[07:16] ---
    Damn!
[07:18] ---
    I guess I have to destroy that card.
[07:22] ---
    If you want to save him,
[07:24] ---
    you'll have to defeat
    me as quick as you can.
[07:28] ---
    But will he be able
    to hold out that long?
[07:31] ---
    His time may be surprisingly short.
[07:34] ---
    Why, you...
[07:37] ---
    I don't know what that
    Stab Sword thing is worth.
[07:40] ---
    I don't know whether it can
    alter the course of history that much...
[07:44] ---
    ...or how it might influence the
    rest of the world, but...
[07:49] ---
    ...it's wrong for anyone to
    get hurt over something so stupid!
[07:54] ---
    If it only brings
    about results as lousy as this...
[07:58] ---
    ...then I'm going to smash
    it to pieces with my own hands!
[08:02] ---
    Saying I had no choice because it's my job
[08:05] ---
    would be unmannerly to my employer, right?
[08:07] ---
    It was left up to me how
    I should carry this out, after all.
[08:12] ---
    Stop toying with peoples' lives!
[08:24] ---
    Where are you?!
[08:30] ---
    This is bad! If she uses
    that earlier spell on me...!
[08:33] ---
    Next will be the Shadow Sword.
[08:36] ---
    I don't want you getting bored.
[08:45] ---
    Why doesn't she
    ever use the same attack?
[08:49] ---
    I don't lean toward using the
    same spell over and over again.
[09:06] ---
    You're a real mess, huh?
[09:08] ---
    This is just a little foreplay;
    have you already had enough?
[09:13] ---
    Damn...
[09:27] ---
    Once she uses a spell,
    she doesn't use it again,
[09:31] ---
    so how does she
    have so many combinations?
[09:34] ---
    Next will be Blade Crater.
[09:36] ---
    Sweetie...
[09:38] ---
    ...if you move from there, you will die.
[09:48] ---
    If I move, I die...
[09:54] ---
    So what's the big deal?
[09:57] ---
    The Daihasei Festival,
[09:58] ---
    which Fukiyose worked her
    butt off getting ready for today,
[10:01] ---
    looks like it might
    be completely ruined.
[10:05] ---
    Are you just going to let that happen?
[10:08] ---
    There's no way you can be happy
    with that, can you, Kamijo Toma?!
[10:10] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:16] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:37] ---
    Y-You fool!
[10:46] ---
    His right hand...
    It's that powerful? Then...
[10:50] ---
    Drop Rest!
[11:20] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[11:23] ---
    Are you okay, Tsuchimikado?
[11:30] ---
    You're so violent...
[11:33] ---
    Look, my button came off.
[11:37] ---
    That was well done, for an
    amateur punch, I suppose I could say.
[11:43] ---
    However, I am accustomed
    to having my attacks countered
[11:47] ---
    and then being struck back at...
[11:49] ---
    ...though not at this
    increasingly frustrating level...
[11:57] ---
    But, as for now...
[11:59] ---
    I'll leave that with
    you for the time being.
[12:04] ---
    But don't think
    the game is over just yet.
[12:07] ---
    Things are just starting to heat up.
[12:11] ---
    Wait! What about Tsuchimikado?!
[12:13] ---
    The spell only works for
    twenty minutes. It will be over soon,
[12:16] ---
    my anxious little esper.
[12:26] ---
    All right,
[12:27] ---
    then destroy the Stab Sword.
[12:30] ---
    Your right hand should be
    able to handle it with no problem.
[12:33] ---
    But are you
    sure I should destroy it?
[12:36] ---
    If Academy City gets attacked by them...
[12:39] ---
    If they do, it will be the
    women who are surrounded.
[12:44] ---
    This is Academy City.
[12:47] ---
    For all magical forces, this is
    the center of enemy territory.
[12:50] ---
    They will likely pull out, and then come up
    with a rational strategy to deal with it.
[12:54] ---
    All right.
[12:55] ---
    Hurry it up.
[12:57] ---
    I'll see about figuring out our next move.
[13:00] ---
    Okay.
[13:02] ---
    Well, then...
[13:12] ---
    What is this?
[13:15] ---
    What's going on?
[13:17] ---
    What the hell is going on?!
[13:21] ---
    Well, there were some hiccups,
[13:24] ---
    but for now, all the necessary
    checkpoints have been cleared,
[13:27] ---
    so please rest at ease.
[13:30] ---
    What kind of hiccups?
[13:32] ---
    Oh, you just let me worry about that.
[13:36] ---
    Oh, right--they have
    retrieved the signboard,
[13:40] ---
    so they've probably found out
    about the Stab Sword, as well.
[13:47] ---
    Oh, it's all right!
    This isn't anything serious enough
[13:51] ---
    to influence the deal itself.
[13:53] ---
    I won't let anyone interfere,
    and nobody can interfere.
[13:59] ---
    Especially not if this deal
    will make everyone happy, right?
[14:07] ---
    "The original Stab Sword doesn't exist,
[14:10] ---
    and only peoples' speculations
    concerning it remain, as folklore."
[14:15] ---
    Ho...
[14:17] ---
    Could what is written
    here be true, Charles Conder?
[14:22] ---
    I am terribly sorry.
[14:23] ---
    Even the British Museum
    was unaware of this until just today.
[14:28] ---
    Then what exactly is it?
[14:32] ---
    Ma'am, as a result of the lore
    crisscrossing and snowballing,
[14:36] ---
    there is no conclusive evidence...
[14:39] ---
    ...but this is not a sword.
[14:42] ---
    What?
[14:44] ---
    Called "Croce di Pietro" locally,
[14:47] ---
    the item is called in our
    language the "Cross of Peter."
[14:52] ---
    The Cross of Peter?!
[14:56] ---
    In that case, the reason for
    the "deal" they are negotiating
[14:59] ---
    has become something entirely different.
[15:03] ---
    The conclusion of this "deal"
    will be the demise of Academy City.
[15:08] ---
    No--it could be something
    even more serious.
[15:13] ---
    Man, what a number this is!
[15:15] ---
    So I guess it must be
    something dangerous, right?
[15:19] ---
    "Croce di Pietero,"
    the Cross of Peter, they said.
[15:25] ---
    Long ago, the Vatican, which is the main
    basilica of the Roman Orthodox Church,
[15:28] ---
    is said to have been built
    where the body of Peter was buried,
[15:31] ---
    and a crucifix erected,
    over a vast expanse of land.
[15:34] ---
    But the reverse is also true.
[15:36] ---
    The reverse?
[15:37] ---
    Any space where the
    Croce di Pietero is planted
[15:40] ---
    comes under exclusive
    Roman Orthodox control.
[15:43] ---
    Even if that place is Academy City.
[15:46] ---
    Control?
[15:46] ---
    Everything will play out in a way
[15:48] ---
    that serves the Roman Orthodox Church,
[15:51] ---
    and everyone will go along,
    not sensing anything out of place.
[15:55] ---
    It means that no matter
    how outrageous the demand,
[15:58] ---
    or how unreasonable
    the load one is made to carry,
[16:01] ---
    the world will be such that no
    one feels anything but happiness.
[16:05] ---
    Oh, man...
[16:06] ---
    If Academy City fortuitously slips
    under Roman Orthodox control,
[16:11] ---
    then the world as we now know it,
[16:14] ---
    with science and magical
    sides kept in a 50-50 balance,
[16:17] ---
    would tip to an overconcentration
    of the Roman Orthodox Church.
[16:20] ---
    Then, this whole transaction is...
[16:22] ---
    Yeah, for dominion over Academy City,
    and the rest of the world.
[16:38] ---
    We're going to stop this deal.
[16:41] ---
    Otherwise, the world will face
    a state more dire than just collapse.
[16:54] ---
    Toma!
[16:56] ---
    --A world where everyone
    can only feel happiness?
[16:57] ---
    --Toma! Toma!
[17:00] ---
    Toma!
[17:06] ---
    Ungh, even thinking
    about it, I don't get it.
[17:09] ---
    Toma!
[17:15] ---
    Nuh-uh, there's no way
    Index could be wearing that outfit.
[17:18] ---
    Toma!
[17:22] ---
    Why wouldn't you even look at me?!
[17:27] ---
    I've got to ask, what's with that getup?
[17:30] ---
    Come to think of it...
[17:35] ---
    Toma, Toma,
[17:37] ---
    you were just trying to remember
    some off-color scene, weren't you?
[17:41] ---
    It looks to me like you have
    a very pleased look on your face.
[17:46] ---
    I do not, I do not!
[17:49] ---
    I mean, where is your usual nun's habit?
[17:52] ---
    Hmph, I'm letting Komoe hang onto it.
[17:55] ---
    U-Um, what are you so upset about?
[18:00] ---
    Oh, I know! You're hungry, right?
[18:03] ---
    We're about to meet up with
    my mom and dad to have lunch,
[18:07] ---
    so just hold on a bit longer, and...
[18:11] ---
    Um... Miss Index...?
[18:14] ---
    Ow!
[18:15] ---
    It's not that, Toma, you dummy!
[18:17] ---
    Then what is it?
[18:19] ---
    I specifically changed clothes
    so I could cheer for you,
[18:23] ---
    so where were you when I was going to?!
[18:26] ---
    Oh, uh, you see...
[18:29] ---
    I tried so hard, thinking I could
    be together with you, Toma...
[18:33] ---
    ...but then you went off
    on your own somewhere.
[18:36] ---
    What was I supposed to do then?
[18:39] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[18:41] ---
    I just thought you were cranky
    from being hungry, like always--
[18:45] ---
    --I am not! I'm angry because
    you never pay attention to me!
[18:46] ---
    
    --Ow! Ow! Ow!
[18:49] ---
    --And as for being cranky because I'm hungry,
[18:49] ---
    
    --Ow! Index!
[18:52] ---
    --as a Sister, I am free
    of such feelings, Toma!
[18:52] ---
    --What happened to biting me, like always?
[18:55] ---
    Er, I mean, you don't
    need to go out of your way to...
[19:03] ---
    Toma, you sicko.
[19:04] ---
    Wha--?!
[19:05] ---
    No! Up to now, you were
    always the one who bit me!
[19:09] ---
    So if anyone's a sicko, it's you--
[19:11] ---
    Ee-yow!
[19:15] ---
    It seems to me like we haven't
    seen very much of Toma around.
[19:20] ---
    Well, with all of the people here,
    there are times when you won't see him.
[19:24] ---
    Ah!
[19:28] ---
    Hello. We meet again, huh?
[19:31] ---
    Ah, from this morning...
[19:33] ---
    Yes. Thank you very much for this morning.
[19:36] ---
    Thanks to you, as you can see...
[19:42] ---
    Who are they? Someone you know?
[19:46] ---
    They're the parents of that
    boy you're interested in, Mikoto.
[19:52] ---
    Nice to meet you. The name's Kamijo.
[19:54] ---
    Hello.
[19:57] ---
    Er, that is...
[19:58] ---
    Come on, charm them, charm them.
[20:01] ---
    I-It's not like that!
    What are you talking about?!
[20:03] ---
    Ah, come to think of it,
    have you had lunch yet?
[20:06] ---
    No, not yet.
[20:08] ---
    If you'd care to,
    would you like to join us?
[20:11] ---
    I know a great spot.
[20:13] ---
    Are you sure? We would be glad to.
[20:16] ---
    A-Are you all right?
[20:19] ---
    Oh, no...
[20:21] ---
    Sorry. I'm not quite accustomed
    to having so many people around.
[20:24] ---
    N-No, I was too inattentive...
[20:27] ---
    Well, if you'll excuse me...
[20:29] ---
    S-Sure...
[20:31] ---
    My, my...
[20:32] ---
    Not again, Toya...
[20:34] ---
    No, Mom, it's not like that!
[20:37] ---
    I wasn't staring or anything,
    I was just, you know...
[20:41] ---
    I am so sorry!
[20:44] ---
    That's his father, all right.
[20:49] ---
    Hey, Toma!
[20:51] ---
    Over here! Over here!
[20:54] ---
    I'm surprised you found this place.
[20:57] ---
    Oh, well, she's the one who showed us.
[21:00] ---
    The name's Misaka.
[21:01] ---
    Is that right? Thank you very much.
[21:05] ---
    Ah, I am starving!
[21:08] ---
    Hey, you...
[21:09] ---
    Why is it I'm the only one who
    never gets any search hits from you?
[21:14] ---
    Well, I figured we'd naturally
    end up stuck like this somehow.
[21:17] ---
    We're not "stuck" like anything!
[21:19] ---
    As if there's anything natural
    about what flows anywhere near you!
[21:22] ---
    And who is this girl who's always
    with you and where does she live?
[21:27] ---
    Hm?
[21:28] ---
    Who is she? Well...
[21:30] ---
    She's right, Toma.
    Come to mention it, who is that girl?
[21:35] ---
    When we took that overnight trip
    to the beach, she was with you, too.
[21:38] ---
    Th-The beach?!
[21:40] ---
    O-Overnight trip to the beach...?
[21:43] ---
    What about you, short-hair?
    Who are you and where do you live?
[21:46] ---
    Are you Toma's girlfriend, or something?
[21:48] ---
    Huh? N-No, I'm not really...
[21:53] ---
    You came to cheer on
    Toma's school, didn't you?
[21:56] ---
    The tower topple, as I remember.
[21:59] ---
    I did not!
[22:00] ---
    Look, you be quiet!
[22:03] ---
    Now, now. Why don't
    we all get something to eat?
[22:07] ---
    So um, Kamijo Toma, is it?
[22:10] ---
    Yes, it is, but... Are you Misaka's
    older sister, or something?
[22:15] ---
    Mm-mm.
[22:17] ---
    I'm Misaka Misuzu,
    Mikoto's mother. Nice to meet you.

[00:31] ---
    Her mother?
[00:33] ---
    Didn't you say something
    about college earlier?
[00:35] ---
    Yes. I've gone back to school.
    It's all kinds of stimulating.
[00:41] ---
    What do you think, Toma?
[00:44] ---
    What do I think?
    Well, it's nothing we couldn't...
[00:47] ---
    Hmm?
[00:49] ---
    Obviously, there's
    something not right here!
[00:51] ---
    There are so many unnaturally
    young adults all around Toma!
[00:55] ---
    Ordinarily, this sort of
    thing would be unthinkable!
[00:57] ---
    Let's put that aside and eat something.
[00:59] ---
    I brought along some lunch,
    just like a mother would.
[01:03] ---
    Ta-da!
[01:05] ---
    On today's menu is cheese fondue!
[01:07] ---
    Stop sneaking hazardous
    materials into Academy City!
[01:10] ---
    Oh, but...
[01:12] ---
    ...nibbling away on a tiny box lunch
[01:14] ---
    won't deliver the nourishment
    to the places that need developing.
[01:20] ---
    What are you talking about, "develop"?!
[01:21] ---
    Oh, yes, what could I be talking about?
[01:27] ---
    My, my...
[01:28] ---
    Are we at it again, Toya?
[01:31] ---
    Huh? N-No...
[01:34] ---
    Eat lots to grow bigger, huh?
[01:38] ---
    Toma!
[01:43] ---
    Toma!
[01:52] ---
    I may hate being bitten,
    but this is painful, too, in its own way.
[02:15] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[02:18] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[02:23] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[02:27] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[02:33] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[02:38] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[02:49] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[02:54] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[02:59] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[03:05] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[03:12] ---
    No buts!
[03:27] ---
    Stab Sword
[03:33] ---
    Here.
[03:35] ---
    Thank you!
[03:37] ---
    Bye!
[03:40] ---
    I thought I told you...
[03:42] ---
    ...to avoid contact with private
    citizens as much as possible.
[03:49] ---
    And I am avoiding it,
    as much as possible, aren't I?
[03:53] ---
    How are things on your end?
[03:54] ---
    No one has found you yet, right?
[03:56] ---
    Rest at ease.
[03:58] ---
    Right now, I am sitting perfectly still.
[04:00] ---
    How comfortable for you.
[04:02] ---
    I'd sure like to take it easy.
    A hotel workout would be nice, too.
[04:07] ---
    I've asked you to refrain
    from such indecent expressions.
[04:09] ---
    Oh, my, you're reading too much into that.
[04:13] ---
    Whoo, Lidvia's got a dirty mind!
[04:21] ---
    I have to admit, though,
[04:23] ---
    I do understand that
    the waiting can be tough, too.
[04:28] ---
    Toma! Toma! I think I'd like to try
[04:31] ---
    some of the fruit juice
    they're selling over there!
[04:33] ---
    Look, you,
[04:35] ---
    we just barely got
    done eating lunch, right?
[04:37] ---
    If you keep eating and drinking
    like this, you're going to get fat.
[04:40] ---
    I-I will not!
[04:42] ---
    Oh, no? I'll bet you've
    upped your armor class,
[04:45] ---
    and you're just not aware of it.
[04:48] ---
    If you don't believe me, then you
    can always measure my stomach!
[04:53] ---
    It's not like I walk around
    with a measuring tape, right?
[04:55] ---
    You don't need one!
[04:57] ---
    Huh?
[04:59] ---
    Sissy!
[05:03] ---
    Sissy!
[05:10] ---
    I-It is not nice to step
    aside at the last moment.
[05:13] ---
    Sorry, sorry. I'm in a hurry right now.
[05:16] ---
    W-W-What is the matter, Sissy?!
[05:20] ---
    Do not tell me you are
    going to that gentleman--
[05:22] ---
    I mean, troglodyte, to cheer him on!
[05:24] ---
    N-No way! I forgot to tell my
    mom about a change to the program.
[05:29] ---
    Is that right? Even though
    he is, in fact, right there...?
[05:33] ---
    Eh?!
[05:41] ---
    Do you suppose they are expecting?
[05:44] ---
    Can they already tell
    that the baby is kicking?
[05:46] ---
    Why, that...
[05:50] ---
    Drop dead, you sick creep!
[06:00] ---
    Huh...?
[06:09] ---
    J--
[06:11] ---
    Just my luck!
[06:15] ---
    Orsola! I told you, you can't
    eat muffins inside the library!
[06:19] ---
    But these were made by the Amakusa for me.
[06:24] ---
    Stop getting crumbs everywhere!
[06:26] ---
    You two are well acquainted
    with the current situation, aren't you?
[06:30] ---
    Thanks to you, yes.
[06:33] ---
    I am, after all, a cryptology specialist.
[06:37] ---
    Dealing with large amounts
    of data is a piece of cake for me.
[06:40] ---
    Miss Sherry, I am quite
    adept at decoding, myself.
[06:45] ---
    Anyhow, we'll get to the report data later--
[06:47] ---
    You idiot! I told you,
    stop spilling crumbs!
[06:51] ---
    Geez... When did Necessarius
    get to be so mellow?
[06:58] ---
    Hey, you!
[07:00] ---
    The walkways of Academy City
    are no-smoking areas at all times!
[07:04] ---
    Have you never heard of
    the term "secondhand smoke"?
[07:08] ---
    Of course I have.
[07:11] ---
    Then why are you lighting
    up another cigarette?!
[07:15] ---
    Hey! Please, listen to me! Look at me!
[07:19] ---
    Miss Komoe?
[07:26] ---
    Whoo, I guess I managed
    to get away somehow.
[07:28] ---
    I found you.
[07:31] ---
    And just in time.
[07:32] ---
    Himegami?
[07:34] ---
    We've got a bit of a problem.
[07:37] ---
    Come on.
[07:37] ---
    O-Okay...
[07:43] ---
    U-Um...
[07:45] ---
    Is something the matter?
[07:46] ---
    Er, well, Himegami...
[07:48] ---
    I guess it doesn't bother you too much, huh?
[07:59] ---
    Come on! I have to confiscate those!
[08:03] ---
    Please give them to
    me and don't make trouble!
[08:06] ---
    --I said give them to me, please! Come on!
[08:07] ---
    --There's no need to stop that.
[08:09] ---
    --But...
[08:11] ---
    Hello?
[08:12] ---
    Kami, she's on the move.
[08:14] ---
    About three minutes ago,
    I spotted Oriana
[08:16] ---
    at the Seibusan subway station,
    in School District 5.
[08:20] ---
    Where's Stiyl?
[08:21] ---
    Yeah, he's right here.
[08:23] ---
    Then bring him with
    you and come to the station.
[08:26] ---
    All right.
[08:31] ---
    Ah! Hold on!
    I'm not done talking to you!
[08:35] ---
    Himegami, you take it from here!
[08:37] ---
    Yoink.
[08:38] ---
    Hey! What do you think
    you're doing, Himegami?!
[08:49] ---
    Have to avoid any frivolous holdups.
[08:52] ---
    Hurry it up, Stiyl!
[08:58] ---
    Two more stops.
[09:01] ---
    Hmm? What are you looking at?
[09:03] ---
    Material from the British Library
    about the Croce di Pietro.
[09:07] ---
    Have you found out anything?
[09:09] ---
    It'd be too much trouble
    to tell you verbally.
[09:11] ---
    I'll forward the data to your cell.
[09:14] ---
    O-Okay.
[09:18] ---
    How am I supposed to read this?!
[09:24] ---
    Where's Tsuchimikado?
[09:27] ---
    Where are you now?
[09:28] ---
    Yeah, sorry.
[09:30] ---
    The autobus I'm on has been held up.
[09:33] ---
    How far away are you?
[09:34] ---
    I could probably run there in ten minutes.
[09:36] ---
    If he's that far away,
    she could get out of the search perimeter.
[09:40] ---
    I know.
[09:41] ---
    Stiyl, if I send instructions to
    draw a Four Ways
[09:44] ---
    to Truth pattern to your
    cell phone, could you do it?
[09:46] ---
    No way. I don't know
    anything about eastern spells.
[09:50] ---
    Then, can you do a
    search with a western one?
[09:53] ---
    If I could, would I be asking you?
    It's completely out of my expertise.
[09:57] ---
    All right. I'll invoke a
    Four Ways to Truth array here.
[10:01] ---
    I'll send the results to your cell,
    so you take it from there.
[10:04] ---
    Hold on!
[10:05] ---
    Are you going to be okay
    if you use any more magic?
[10:11] ---
    You're sure?
[10:13] ---
    I am a magician. A specialist is
    only as good as the magic he uses.
[10:29] ---
    Oh, you really want to
    know where I am that badly, huh?
[10:34] ---
    Well, then...
[10:36] ---
    ...what should my next move be?
[10:36] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:42] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:52] ---
    Himegami?
[10:54] ---
    Is there something that's troubling you?
[10:57] ---
    No, it's not that.
[10:59] ---
    I was just thinking,
    Kamijo was acting strangely.
[11:03] ---
    Mm-hmm, he may have
    simply been feeling the pressure
[11:06] ---
    of the next competition
    bearing down on him.
[11:09] ---
    But he seemed a little odd.
[11:11] ---
    He seemed to be on edge...
[11:15] ---
    ...like that one time...
[11:18] ---
    But I don't think he would
    get that way over a competition.
[11:23] ---
    So what you're saying, Himegami,
[11:25] ---
    is that you have an interest in Kamijo?
[11:29] ---
    I think I'd prefer if
    you didn't say it like that.
[11:32] ---
    Kamijo and I aren't even that close,
[11:36] ---
    and if there is any misunderstanding,
[11:37] ---
    Kamijo will be the one put out by it.
[11:40] ---
    Himegami, please have a look at this.
[11:45] ---
    The night parade?
[11:47] ---
    The nighttime Academy City will be lit up
[11:49] ---
    with lighting and laser beams,
    and it will be very, very pretty.
[11:54] ---
    What if you were to invite Kamijo to it?
[11:57] ---
    I couldn't.
[11:59] ---
    Even if I were to
    invite him out of the blue,
[12:03] ---
    I'm sure that Kamijo
    would just be taken aback.
[12:06] ---
    It's not his style.
[12:08] ---
    Th-That's not true!
[12:10] ---
    Himegami, if you invite
    Kamijo to something you think is fun,
[12:14] ---
    I'm sure he will be delighted.
[12:16] ---
    That's the kind of boy Kamijo is.
[12:24] ---
    I said I wouldn't invite him,
    and there's no way I will.
[12:26] ---
    Hmph, why are you being so obstinate?
[12:30] ---
    I'm just not going to invite him.
[12:33] ---
    She's caught on to us.
[12:35] ---
    She suddenly changed direction.
    Now she's heading northwest.
[12:39] ---
    You can't use your Red Spell?
[12:42] ---
    No, I can't.
[12:43] ---
    I'd have to interrupt the
    Four Ways to Truth spell to do that.
[12:46] ---
    If I do that, I couldn't
    track Oriana's location anymore.
[12:50] ---
    She's still heading northwest.
[12:52] ---
    It looks like she's trying
    to shake us off linearly.
[12:55] ---
    Hurry. It's only 1700 meters
    until she's out of our effective range.
[12:59] ---
    You don't have to remind me.
[13:01] ---
    Wait, she suddenly changed direction!
[13:03] ---
    What is this? She sped up all of a sudden!
[13:07] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[13:11] ---
    He's had it.
[13:12] ---
    From what?
[13:13] ---
    Oriana wouldn't know
    how far she would have to go
[13:17] ---
    to escape the effective range
    of the Four Ways to Truth spell.
[13:19] ---
    So what would she do?
[13:21] ---
    You don't mean...
[13:22] ---
    Yes, she would take out Tsuchimikado, the
    one at the exact center of the spell.
[13:27] ---
    We have to hurry, too!
[13:28] ---
    Where to?
[13:29] ---
    To wherever Tsuchimikado is, of course!
[13:31] ---
    And I'm asking you, where is that?!
[13:36] ---
    We do not know where he is.
[13:46] ---
    You have to give me all you've got.
[13:49] ---
    When you sense out wherever my location is,
[13:52] ---
    it means that I can sense you, too.
[13:55] ---
    You're the most resourceful
    and dangerous one,
[13:58] ---
    so I came to put you down.
[14:01] ---
    "Fallere 825." Remember that.
    It's my magic name.
[14:06] ---
    Hmph. My name is "Basis 104."
[14:10] ---
    And now that I've stated it,
    I'll make sure that I win.
[14:38] ---
    I don't find that violent
    youthfulness to be unlikeable.
[14:48] ---
    Is your style to use your
    magic as little as possible?
[14:53] ---
    If so, you're going to die.
[14:57] ---
    I do have means such that
    I raised a barrier around us.
[15:02] ---
    You don't have any help coming.
[15:10] ---
    You rotten fools who
    have grown lazy in peacetime,
[15:12] ---
    unless you wanna die, time to wake up!
[15:14] ---
    You're too late.
[15:28] ---
    It's all over, huh?
[15:34] ---
    It can't be...
[15:35] ---
    The barrier has been disrupted?
[15:37] ---
    It looks like even I was able
    to bring down your barrier, huh?
[15:42] ---
    I guess you can handle a tougher
    workout than your looks let on.
[15:46] ---
    I have to make sure word of
    what's happening here gets out, you see.
[15:50] ---
    Hmph, silly boy. Even if those
    two who were chasing me get here...
[15:54] ---
    I don't mean them.
[15:56] ---
    What did you say?
[15:58] ---
    What are you, dense?
[16:00] ---
    How many members of
    Necessarius do you think there are?
[16:04] ---
    Do you expect me to believe you?
[16:08] ---
    Tsukebumi Tamazusa--
[16:10] ---
    originally an accessory used
    to make its target see illusions,
[16:13] ---
    but depending on how it's used...
[16:15] ---
    A communications spell?
[16:17] ---
    Now that we know you
    don't have the Stab Sword,
[16:20] ---
    there's no reason for us
    to have her sit out anymore.
[16:25] ---
    Yes--Kanzaki Kaori!
[16:28] ---
    Did you not consider the possibility
    that there'd be a saint in Japan?
[16:31] ---
    Moreover, Kanzaki has some personal
    friends here in Academy City.
[16:36] ---
    Even if, by chance, word gets out,
    it won't be any big deal.
[16:45] ---
    Why won't you go quietly?
[16:49] ---
    Well, for the moment,
    I've destroyed your search spell.
[16:54] ---
    It would be foolish
    to stay here any longer,
[16:56] ---
    letting myself get hurt
    by a wounded little boy like you.
[17:05] ---
    Damn it all...
[17:07] ---
    Kanzaki Kaori's grand entrance...
[17:10] ---
    It would have been great
    if it had actually happened. Still,
[17:15] ---
    this Tsukebumi Tamazusa was a fakeout.
[17:17] ---
    I'm surprised she believed it.
[17:20] ---
    Now then...
[17:24] ---
    Looks like using the Four Ways
    to Truth is out of the question.
[17:32] ---
    Tsuchimikado?
[17:33] ---
    Oriana should be trying to
    get herself away from here now.
[17:37] ---
    That's because I made a teeny little bluff.
[17:41] ---
    The closest thing to the underground
    mall where Tsuchimikado is would be the subway.
[17:53] ---
    I don't seem to have any tails.
[17:56] ---
    The Croce di Pietro
    preparations are still a ways off.
[17:59] ---
    Whatever shall I do?
[18:02] ---
    Planning some spells to
    use against a saint might be fun.
[18:07] ---
    Himegami, we have to take
    a shortcut, or we'll miss the next--
[18:13] ---
    Oh, Miss Komoe...
[18:15] ---
    Now you've gone and done it.
[18:18] ---
    I-I am so sorry!
[18:20] ---
    Ah, and are you all right over here?
[18:23] ---
    Y-Yes, I'm fine.
[18:25] ---
    I'd be more concerned about her.
[18:30] ---
    Ah! Himegami, you're all
    soaking wet and showing through!
[18:34] ---
    Miss Komoe, you're getting
    pointy around the chest, yourself.
[18:39] ---
    A Celtic cross... Necessarius?!
[18:49] ---
    Himegami?
[18:50] ---
    What's the matter, Himegami?
[19:00] ---
    The closest transfer point from here is...
[19:02] ---
    ...an autobus stop 300 meters north.
[19:05] ---
    300, huh?
[19:12] ---
    That smell...
[19:17] ---
    Miss Komoe!
[19:18] ---
    K-Kamijo!
[19:20] ---
    Teacher, what exactly is...
[19:26] ---
    Teacher, what happened here?
[19:28] ---
    We bumped into this woman...
[19:31] ---
    Suddenly, she made
    this scary face, and then...
[19:36] ---
    Oriana.
[19:37] ---
    Why would she? What's her
    reason for attacking Himegami?
[19:40] ---
    Right there.
[19:42] ---
    That "Walking Church"
    accessory is a special item.
[19:46] ---
    She took her to be a
    List-of-Prohibited-Books-class magician,
[19:50] ---
    and concluded that she was chasing her.
[19:52] ---
    It was a mistake?
[19:53] ---
    She did all this to Himegami,
    just because of a simple mistake?
[20:02] ---
    T-P-I-M-I-M-S-P-F-T.
[20:10] ---
    An ambulance has been called, yes?
[20:12] ---
    You should wait for
    them at the path entrance.
[20:14] ---
    They won't be able to spot you here.
[20:18] ---
    Hold on!
[20:19] ---
    What?
[20:20] ---
    She got caught up in this because of us!
[20:22] ---
    You're just going to
    leave her here like this?!
[20:24] ---
    What else can you do for her?
[20:28] ---
    Don't get too full
    of yourself, ride-along!
[20:30] ---
    There isn't a thing
    you can do for this injured girl.
[20:34] ---
    Right now, the only thing
    we can do is go after Oriana.
[20:41] ---
    If you really intend to defend
    anyone, then clench your fists.
[20:44] ---
    The only power that right hand
    of yours has is to destroy illusions.
[20:48] ---
    Tell me, where is there
    any power to protect illusions?!
[20:54] ---
    Son of a bitch!
[20:56] ---
    Don't go thinking that
    anger belongs to you alone.
[21:04] ---
    What are you doing?
[21:06] ---
    When I was with the
    Sister, doing this helped somehow.
[21:10] ---
    No way! Are you...
[21:20] ---
    Why isn't Himegami getting better?
[21:24] ---
    We were just talking about
    the night parade a few moments ago.
[21:28] ---
    And now...
[21:29] ---
    No, you've got it wrong.
[21:32] ---
    Just like scooping up seawater in a bucket,
[21:34] ---
    you first have to mark off the
    area of your miniature landscape.
[21:38] ---
    Kamijo Toma, you go after Oriana.
[21:41] ---
    Hold on a second. Don't tell me you're...
[21:43] ---
    Don't expect much. This is
    outside my area of expertise, too.
[21:47] ---
    Making use of the knowledge from
    the List of Prohibited Books she has,
[21:51] ---
    we're just going to do some first aid.
[21:53] ---
    If you want this to
    be resolved in its entirety,
[21:55] ---
    then leave us behind and go, Kamijo Toma.
[21:59] ---
    All right.
[22:00] ---
    Stiyl, take care of Himegami.
[22:04] ---
    I'm sorry, Himegami.
    I'll come back to your hospital room
[22:08] ---
    before the night parade begins.
[22:10] ---
    So make sure to sit tight for me.
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:50] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[23:07] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:31] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    I've found out the secret
    of the Croce di Pietro.
[23:57] ---
    The place where it will be
    used must be where Oriana is, too.
[24:01] ---
    But where exactly is that?!
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Belvedere."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

[00:31] ---
    In the midst of
    the Daihasei Festival,
[00:32] ---
    Oriana Thomson continues her
    flight across Academy City.
[00:35] ---
    As myself and Stiyl give chase,
    we're shown up by her,
[00:38] ---
    while Tsuchimikado is picked off.
[00:41] ---
    Even Himegami, who just happened
    to be standing there, was set upon.
[00:45] ---
    Damn it! Oriana,
    I swear, you'll pay for this!

    Belvedere (The Observatory)
[02:29] ---
    Damn it!
[02:35] ---
    Tsuchimikado? Sorry,
    but I lost sight of Oriana.
[02:38] ---
    Do you have any idea where
    she might have been headed?
[02:43] ---
    This bus appears to circle
    around School District 7,
[02:46] ---
    but where she might
    get off is... hold on a sec.
[02:49] ---
    What is it, Kami?
[02:53] ---
    Say, why is Oriana
    walking around town?
[02:57] ---
    Huh? Well, because
    we keep chasing after her--
[02:59] ---
    No, before that.
[03:01] ---
    If there's no deal for the Croce di Pietro,
[03:04] ---
    then it isn't to meet anyone, right?
[03:06] ---
    So then, her strolling around the city
[03:08] ---
    is just going to increase her risk, isn't it?
[03:10] ---
    If that's the case,
[03:12] ---
    it means that there's a reason
    why Oriana is acting all by herself.
[03:16] ---
    What reason?
[03:17] ---
    I don't know that much,
    but she may have been searching
[03:21] ---
    for the conditions they
    need to use the Croce di Pietro.
[03:24] ---
    Conditions?
[03:25] ---
    There has to be some special
    circumstance, or they can't use it?
[03:28] ---
    I asked Stiyl to check into that for us.
[03:31] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    he forwarded me an email from Orsola.
[03:34] ---
    I'll send it to you, too.
[03:48] ---
    I read it, Kami. It appears
    to be a record dealing with
[03:53] ---
    the cleaning of the vault
    the Croce di Pietro was in.
[03:55] ---
    So, what did it say?
[03:58] ---
    When the Croce di Pietro was stored,
[04:00] ---
    they were neurotically sensitive
    about not letting any light hit it.
[04:04] ---
    Light?
[04:05] ---
    They must have been trying to
    keep it from inadvertently activating.
[04:09] ---
    Which would mean that
    it activates when the sun hits it?
[04:11] ---
    If that's true, then she
    would have already done so.
[04:15] ---
    Also, it says to finish the
    cleaning during the daytime.
[04:19] ---
    So then, time doesn't enter into it.
[04:21] ---
    Nope.
[04:22] ---
    However, there was apparently a
    problem with the caretakers.
[04:26] ---
    They would use horoscopes to
    do astrology while on duty.
[04:31] ---
    Astrology? If they did their
    cleaning during the daytime,
[04:35] ---
    it was nighttime light they were wary of.
[04:37] ---
    In other words, it was the stars.
[04:40] ---
    Indeed. By enlisting the figures
    in the night sky into magical arrays,
[04:45] ---
    they could obtain an
    enormous amount of power.
[05:04] ---
    If the Croce di Pietro acts like an antenna
    to collect the light of the night sky,
[05:10] ---
    that would mean Oriana is
    out looking for the optimum spot
[05:13] ---
    in which to set up an antenna.
[05:15] ---
    But Peter died on June 29th.
[05:20] ---
    Moreover, Japan's latitude and longitude
[05:22] ---
    isn't the same as the Vatican's.
[05:24] ---
    If they can't overcome those problems,
[05:26] ---
    it rules out the constellation use theory.
[05:29] ---
    But, we don't have any
    more time to think about it.
[05:33] ---
    Let's just get moving.
[05:35] ---
    If we work under the assumption
    that they are using constellations,
[05:37] ---
    then our time limit would have to be...
[05:39] ---
    Sundown? Well, what should I do?
[05:43] ---
    Toma!
[05:48] ---
    What are you doing up here?
[05:51] ---
    I-Index?!
[06:01] ---
    It looks like Kanzaki Kaori
    isn't here after all.
[06:15] ---
    Lidvia...
[06:16] ---
    I know what you're going to say.
[06:18] ---
    The girl that you engaged
    was an ordinary civilian.
[06:23] ---
    Her name is Himegami Aisa.
[06:26] ---
    Despite possessing an
    extremely significant power,
[06:29] ---
    she is not particularly a magician.
[06:32] ---
    That Celtic cross was nothing more
[06:33] ---
    than an accessory to keep
    her power under wraps,
[06:36] ---
    and she is not the least bit aggressive.
[06:40] ---
    How awful...
[06:42] ---
    Truly awful, indeed.
[06:44] ---
    We have struck out at a civilian
[06:46] ---
    who had nothing to do with this operation.
[06:48] ---
    And this makes it twice.
[06:50] ---
    They are sinners who stray,
    do wrong, and seek salvation,
[06:54] ---
    who we are to protect.
[06:57] ---
    We must not make any more mistakes.
[07:00] ---
    For her sake, we must
    use the Croce di Pietro,
[07:05] ---
    and bring Academy City under our control.
[07:09] ---
    I'm not so sure everything
    is going to work out.
[07:12] ---
    By placing Academy City
    within our hands,
[07:15] ---
    will all of everyone's problems
    really be solved?
[07:19] ---
    Toma, why aren't you
    with everyone else in your class?
[07:23] ---
    You haven't competed in any
    events all afternoon, huh? Why not?
[07:26] ---
    O-Oh, I was helping out
    with the steering committee.
[07:30] ---
    That's weird. I sent a text
    out to the guys in my class.
[07:34] ---
    A text?
[07:35] ---
    Maybe I didn't have any service.
[07:37] ---
    Or maybe the signal
    didn't reach the service center.
[07:41] ---
    I-In any case, Index,
    you go back to where the others are.
[07:45] ---
    Toma, Toma, they said
    next up is group gymnastics.
[07:49] ---
    Will you be there?
[07:51] ---
    Yes, I will. I'll finish up my
    assistance as quick as I can.
[07:55] ---
    I'm gonna be there. So will
    you wait for me there, Index?
[08:02] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[08:08] ---
    Sorry about that, Kami.
[08:13] ---
    Let's finish up our assistance quick.
[08:19] ---
    On the other hand,
[08:20] ---
    with this many people around...
[08:22] ---
    "Wait up!"
[08:24] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, catching up.
[08:27] ---
    Hmm?
[08:28] ---
    "What's the problem? Misaka was
    only looking at the souvenirs!"
[08:32] ---
    says Misaka Misaka by way of protest.
[08:35] ---
    Misaka?
[08:39] ---
    Hello? Stiyl?
[08:42] ---
    I've finished treating the schoolgirl.
[08:44] ---
    How is Himegami?!
[08:45] ---
    I don't even want to
    have to use that spell again.
[08:49] ---
    For the time being,
    we've kept her from going into shock.
[08:52] ---
    It's the doctor's job from here on, though.
[08:55] ---
    Hey, man...
[08:56] ---
    Huh? What's with the wussified voice?
[08:59] ---
    I have no intention
    of getting chummy with--
[09:03] ---
    I still haven't told you thank you.
[09:07] ---
    If you hadn't been here, Himegami
    would've... Himegami would've...
[09:14] ---
    Stop that. We're still not certain
    that she's going to survive.
[09:17] ---
    Even so, I... I...
[09:20] ---
    Sounds like you're busy,
    so I'll catch you later.
[09:22] ---
    Call Tsuchimikado!
[09:25] ---
    It sounds like he's onto something.
    I'm heading there, too,
[09:28] ---
    once I can get away from this lady!
[09:39] ---
    Looks like I was right after all.
[09:42] ---
    In which case, what do
    we do with this discrepancy?
[09:52] ---
    Ah, Fukiyose?
[09:54] ---
    Are you feeling any better?
[09:56] ---
    I'm doing fine.
[09:58] ---
    But never mind me, are there
    any problems at the Daihasei Festival?
[10:01] ---
    As it happens, Himegami is in a real fix.
[10:04] ---
    Don't tell me those idiots
    did something again!
[10:07] ---
    Actually, she was attacked
    by someone, and taken to the hospital.
[10:11] ---
    Attacked?!
[10:13] ---
    If Kamijo and his
    friend hadn't been there,
[10:15] ---
    things may have turned out a lot worse.
[10:19] ---
    Ah, the priest just went by!
[10:21] ---
    Mr. Priest!
[10:23] ---
    Huh? A priest?
[10:29] ---
    What exactly is going on in this city?
[10:34] ---
    Okay...
[10:35] ---
    So sure enough, the constellations
    hold the key to activating it.
[10:39] ---
    Yeah, but, it was summer when
    the Croce di Pietro was used before.
[10:44] ---
    I doubt they can substitute the
    autumn constellations.
[10:48] ---
    There's something else here.
    Some gimmick that we haven't figured out.
[10:53] ---
    But we don't have any
    more time to kick it around.
[11:00] ---
    The English Puritan Church?
[11:02] ---
    Am I reaching the cell phone
    of Mr. Stiyl Magnus?
[11:06] ---
    A wrong number?!
[11:07] ---
    I am so terribly sorry!
[11:09] ---
    Wait, that voice--is that you, Orsola?
[11:12] ---
    Oh, my, then you must be...
[11:15] ---
    Thank you for all your help earlier.
[11:17] ---
    Thanks to you, I am fitting
    right in around here--
[11:20] ---
    Say, if you have something
    to report, could you hurry it up?
[11:25] ---
    Why, yes, the other day,
[11:26] ---
    Miss Kanzaki showed me where
    this delicious Japanese restaurant is--
[11:30] ---
    I mean, tell us whatever
    information you've discovered already!
[11:33] ---
    Right. I have learned more
    about the conditions needed
[11:37] ---
    to use the Croce di Pietro.
[11:40] ---
    It is said to be some
    kind of large-scale fixture
[11:43] ---
    for using the power of the constellations.
[11:45] ---
    Sorry, but we already knew that.
[11:48] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[11:50] ---
    Well then, you must also know that
[11:52] ---
    it can freely activate anywhere
    in the world, regardless of season.
[11:58] ---
    When I found that together with Miss Sherry,
[12:01] ---
    I thought we at long last had something.
[12:02] ---
    Just a second.
    What are you talking about?
[12:06] ---
    In order to use the Croce di Pietro,
[12:08] ---
    one must have a firm grasp of
    the area where it will be employed,
[12:11] ---
    and then select the most fitting
    of eighty-eight constellations for that area,
[12:16] ---
    before the conditions
    to activate it can be achieved.
[12:20] ---
    Which would mean...
[12:22] ---
    Yes, while there are various restrictions,
[12:26] ---
    practically speaking, control by the
[12:29] ---
    Roman Orthodox Church is possible
    anywhere in the entire world.
[12:32] ---
    Wha--?
[12:33] ---
    We're starting to get it. You mean
    that Peter allows a lot of latitude
[12:37] ---
    in the location of his martyrdom.
[12:39] ---
    But even if they chose a location,
    what about the time?
[12:43] ---
    St. Peter was put to death on June 29th.
[12:47] ---
    That is the precise
    date when the Croce di Pietro
[12:49] ---
    was used at the Vatican.
[12:52] ---
    You mean they intentionally
    took it on that date?
[12:55] ---
    They were prepared to die for it.
[12:57] ---
    It's not such an impossible tale.
[12:59] ---
    So, Orsola, have you found
    out at what location they would use
[13:03] ---
    the Croce di Pietro in
    Japan today, September 19th?
[13:08] ---
    Yes.
[13:08] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:09] ---
    But of course I have found that out.
[13:14] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:18] ---
    Wow! Look, look, Mikoto!
[13:20] ---
    A quasi-five-dimensional kaleidoscope!
[13:23] ---
    Heh, how fascinating!
[13:25] ---
    Stay away from those shady goods.
[13:27] ---
    Pick something that will be more memorable.
[13:30] ---
    Oh, you are being so girly.
[13:33] ---
    Y-You be quiet, you dumb mother!
[13:37] ---
    I-I know the clammy feel of that gaze...
[13:41] ---
    S-Sissy, is that lady
    a member of your family?
[13:49] ---
    Wow! What is this...?
[13:51] ---
    This... hyperinflated version
    of Sissy's aura...?
[13:56] ---
    D-Damn it, if that is how it is,
    then I will psych myself up,
[14:01] ---
    and have the both of you bring it on!
[14:05] ---
    Whoa, Kuroko, are you...?
[14:08] ---
    Mikoto, does your girliness
    swing that way, as well?
[14:11] ---
    Huh? N-No!
[14:14] ---
    Come on, Kuroko! Hurry and
    snap back to reality!
[14:18] ---
    --Geez, wake up, you!
    --S-Sissy!
[14:20] ---
    Good morning! Good morning!
[14:25] ---
    Oh, that boy...
[14:27] ---
    So, the reason why
    Oriana was walking around
[14:30] ---
    was because she was seeing
    whether that location would work?
[14:33] ---
    Yeah. Everywhere we've been up to now
[14:36] ---
    has had buildings or roadside
    trees blocking out the sky.
[14:39] ---
    That leaves only one point.
[14:41] ---
    I'm sure she will be going there.
[14:44] ---
    The experimental airport
    in School District 23?
[14:46] ---
    There won't be anything to
    obscure the sky there.
[14:51] ---
    Sorry to take so long.
[14:53] ---
    Man, what is the deal with that lady?
[14:56] ---
    Every time I used a repel spell,
    as soon as I left the affected area,
[14:59] ---
    she would catch up to me again.
[15:02] ---
    Forget about that, what do we do?
[15:03] ---
    School District 23 is
    under incredibly tight security.
[15:07] ---
    Are we going to be able to get in?
[15:10] ---
    That's no problem.
[15:11] ---
    I'll just use the "Just-this-once"
    prerogative that only I have.
[15:16] ---
    Prerogative?
[15:23] ---
    This is strange.
[15:26] ---
    It's about time for final preparations.
[15:28] ---
    Isn't there still a short
    while before the appointed time?
[15:30] ---
    The security situation is changing strangely.
[15:33] ---
    It looks like they've
    caught on that I'm nearby.
[15:36] ---
    In that case, the location
    of our belvedere...
[15:40] ---
    Probably. But it seems
    to be the most practical place.
[15:44] ---
    We won't involve any
    more civilians here, either.
[15:48] ---
    In that case...
[15:49] ---
    Yes. You get ready, as well.
[15:53] ---
    Let's now bring Academy City
    under our control.
[15:58] ---
    Just like pushing a maiden of light,
[16:00] ---
    unaware of anything
    before now, into the mud.
[16:06] ---
    I had them alter the security
    status of School District 23 a bit.
[16:09] ---
    We'll take advantage of that confusion.
[16:12] ---
    The Croce di Pietro will
    be activated just after sundown.
[16:15] ---
    Probably between the hours of 6 and 7.
[16:17] ---
    It's ten minutes to the
    District 23 terminal station.
[16:20] ---
    That means once we get there,
[16:21] ---
    we'll only have twenty-five
    minutes before time is up.
[16:25] ---
    Just to be clear on the matter,
[16:27] ---
    you intend to face
    Oriana in your condition?
[16:31] ---
    I wish like crazy I could get some rest.
[16:34] ---
    But District 23's security is not so lax
[16:36] ---
    that the two of you can break in alone.
[16:39] ---
    All right.
[16:55] ---
    Once we get on this train,
    there's no turning back.
[16:58] ---
    Killing will be all that awaits us.
[17:01] ---
    Are you ready for this, Kamijo Toma?
[17:05] ---
    Yeah. We're going to
    put a stop to all of this.
[17:09] ---
    And one other thing...
[17:10] ---
    What?
[17:12] ---
    Remember this: I have no
    intention of ending this with killing.
[17:25] ---
    Toma isn't here?
[17:26] ---
    U-Um...
[17:28] ---
    Um, how do you mean...
[17:30] ---
    I am terribly sorry.
[17:31] ---
    Here you have entrusted
    your precious son to me,
[17:34] ---
    and I cannot account for his actions.
[17:38] ---
    There is just one
    thing we'd like to ask you.
[17:40] ---
    Yes, what is it?
[17:42] ---
    Toma is acting voluntarily, right?
[17:45] ---
    He isn't being dragged
    around by someone else?
[17:48] ---
    Oh, yes. That is correct.
[17:54] ---
    Then, it's something that means
    more to Toma than competing.
[18:00] ---
    I can't come up with any
    reason to stop him, can you?
[18:04] ---
    No.
[18:23] ---
    Turning the skies of
    heaven to our housetop,
[18:26] ---
    in order to establish
    peace in this land,
[18:29] ---
    I now call on the blessing
    of the Holy 12 Apostles.
[18:36] ---
    The security around
    here is focused on the skies.
[18:39] ---
    There aren't that many
    places to hide here, after all.
[18:42] ---
    Then, how is Oriana
    getting into the airport?
[18:45] ---
    She must have
    already done whatever it is.
[18:47] ---
    Tsuchimikado, we're running out of time.
[18:50] ---
    Ah, we'll just use that.
[18:56] ---
    We're near the public airport.
    The skies are crowded with both
[19:00] ---
    passenger planes
    and experimental craft.
[19:02] ---
    The monitoring crafts have
    to alter their patrol routes regularly,
[19:07] ---
    to prevent mid-air collisions.
[19:09] ---
    If we sneak in under their blind spots,
    we should be able to manage.
[19:27] ---
    Wait! Tsuchimikado!
[19:28] ---
    What, Kami?
[19:31] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[19:32] ---
    Are you okay, Tsuchimikado?!
[19:34] ---
    Go on... Kami...!
[19:37] ---
    Destroy that page...
    and the two of you go on...!
[19:40] ---
    What about you?!
[19:42] ---
    Stiyl, can't you
    heal him with your magic?
[19:46] ---
    You think she's going to wait for that?!
[19:50] ---
    Kamijo Toma!
[20:08] ---
    Flame to my hand!
[20:10] ---
    Its form, a sword;
    its purpose, conviction!
[20:17] ---
    Hurry!
[20:19] ---
    So the saint isn't
    coming after all, huh?
[20:22] ---
    Which means,
    I guess it's just the three of you.
[20:28] ---
    A barrier?
    She's cut off all communication.
[20:36] ---
    Stiyl!
[20:42] ---
    Oh, my!
[20:43] ---
    I'm not so responsive that
    I can get my satisfaction on the side.
[20:50] ---
    Break apart!
[20:58] ---
    I see you guys still cave all too quickly.
[21:02] ---
    I will stop you, right here.
[21:04] ---
    I am not letting you
    use the Croce di Pietro.
[21:07] ---
    If you mean to mess up Academy City,
    and ruin the Daihasei Festival,
[21:11] ---
    then I swear, I will stop you!
[21:15] ---
    How unkind to call it "messing up."
[21:17] ---
    The Croce di Pietro removes
    the wall between magic and science,
[21:21] ---
    and might just lead the
    people of the world to happiness.
[21:25] ---
    Happiness?
[21:28] ---
    How nice. I can kind of see
    how those words might sound nice.
[21:34] ---
    However, the problem I have with it
[21:37] ---
    is that by you using the
    Croce di Pietro right here and now,
[21:41] ---
    you're going to wreck the Daihasei Festival!
[21:45] ---
    So many people treasure
    the Daihasei Festival.
[21:50] ---
    I don't care how great the religion
    that you settle down with is,
[21:53] ---
    there's no way you have the
    right to deprive them of those feelings!
[21:58] ---
    Do you think that much of
    an emotionally-charged argument
[22:00] ---
    is going to sway me?
[22:03] ---
    If that's all it takes to hurt you,
[22:05] ---
    then you're out of order to begin with.
[22:07] ---
    Can you say the same thing
[22:09] ---
    in front of Fukiyose and
    Himegami, the ones you injured?
[22:14] ---
    Ultimately, that's all I
    wanted to say. Except...
[22:18] ---
    If you're still thinking of
    doing anything in my town,
[22:20] ---
    I will wipe out any illusions of it,
    till there are no traces left!

[00:34] ---
    The Croce di Pietro
    is a nasty piece of work
[00:36] ---
    that can be used without
    regard to location or season.
[00:39] ---
    Unless we do something,
[00:41] ---
    Academy City will fall under
    Roman Orthodox control at sundown.
[00:45] ---
    There's no way I'm letting that happen!

    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[01:16] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:20] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:26] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:31] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[01:42] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:47] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:52] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:58] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:05] ---
    No buts!

    Damn...

    It's starting to get dark around here.
[03:03] ---
    Tell me, isn't it about

[03:06] ---
    Or would you rather spend a

    Oh, no!
[04:28] ---
    Go home, you klutzy magician!
[04:30] ---
    You shut up, ride-along!
[04:40] ---
    Innocentius!
[04:46] ---
    Out of my way, you idiot!
[04:47] ---
    You stay out of my way!
[04:49] ---
    What's going on here? I can't
    predict their next move like this.
[05:05] ---
    A reference point...
    I need an absolute reference point...
[05:11] ---
    A clear rule...
    whereby everyone is happy,
[05:15] ---
    and nobody gets
    dragged into any tragedies
[05:17] ---
    brought about by
    conflicting sets of values...
[05:20] ---
    The ultimate world...
[05:23] ---
    That is why I will win. I will win,
    and create my own answer.
[05:28] ---
    I am... My name is Basis 104!
[05:34] ---
    Get down, ride-along!
[05:46] ---
    Stiyl!
[05:47] ---
    Where are you going?
[05:49] ---
    You're taking me on, aren't you?
[05:55] ---
    That's enough out of you.
[05:57] ---
    How many people are you going
    to hurt before you've had enough?
[06:00] ---
    I don't want to hurt anyone, myself.
[06:04] ---
    But I have my objective.
[06:07] ---
    Now, get over here. Once I crush you,
    my purpose will be at an end.
[06:13] ---
    All that's left will be
    for the Croce di Pietro--
[06:15] ---
    for the Roman Orthodox Church to
    create the world that I desire.
[06:20] ---
    Objective my eye. Stop talking
    like you're such a bigshot,
[06:25] ---
    when you're allowing others
    to determine what your future is.
[06:27] ---
    Letting others determine?
[06:30] ---
    Yes, and I don't even care who they are.
[06:35] ---
    As long as they're
    someone who can bring into line
[06:37] ---
    all the principles and policies
    scattered about the world.
[06:40] ---
    And I will categorically
    defend that reference point.
[06:45] ---
    That's your objective, is it?
[06:48] ---
    I don't get all the
    little details. However,
[06:52] ---
    I cannot accept the ridiculous proposal
[06:54] ---
    that we turn over everyone
    who lives in Academy City.
[06:59] ---
    You can talk like that
    because you don't understand.
[07:03] ---
    You've never seen the expression
    of someone who could do nothing
[07:07] ---
    but stand there transfixed by
    the circumstances they fell victim to.
[07:10] ---
    You've simply never
    heard the word "frustrated."
[07:14] ---
    Even if I haven't,
    that doesn't make it right for you
[07:16] ---
    to attack Academy City as you like.
[07:19] ---
    You can't use the pretext that
    it's okay to do good for someone
[07:23] ---
    if it's on the back of someone else.
[07:26] ---
    No way!
[07:31] ---
    The problems you're confronting
    are something felt by everyone.
[07:36] ---
    Everyone stumbles
    and makes mistakes at times.
[07:39] ---
    However, when you
    fall down, you get back up.
[07:42] ---
    No matter how awkward and
    badly things turn out, you get back up!
[07:47] ---
    You don't go tossing aside
    other peoples' lives along the way!
[07:51] ---
    Which do you choose, Oriana Thomson--
[07:55] ---
    To leave everything up to someone else,
[07:57] ---
    just because you messed up once?
[07:59] ---
    Or to extend a hand to those
    who have failed, despite those failures?
[08:12] ---
    This is how we'll settle this.
[08:16] ---
    I call upon all the ability
    dwelling within me.
[08:20] ---
    Unleash my whole soul,
    and strike the foe before me.
[08:51] ---
    Damn it...
[08:53] ---
    For crying out loud,
    can't you put a little effort
[08:56] ---
    into making the tournament a success?
[08:59] ---
    We've got a bit of a problem.
[09:02] ---
    Come on.
[09:05] ---
    Don't expect much. This is
    outside my area of expertise, too.
[09:09] ---
    Go on... Kami...!
[09:11] ---
    Guys... you who tried
    to preserve the present...
[09:16] ---
    I'll come back to your hospital
    room before the night parade begins.
[09:19] ---
    So make sure to sit tight for me.
[09:21] ---
    That was an expression of my readiness...
[09:26] ---
    I am not... about to let that
    be for nothing... at this point!
[09:46] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:52] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:58] ---
    Stiyl!
[10:00] ---
    Never mind me,
    worry about the Croce di Pietro...!
[10:05] ---
    Get Oriana to tell you where it is.
[10:08] ---
    We have to keep that relic from activating...
[10:11] ---
    There is no need for concern.
    It will all be over soon.
[10:16] ---
    Lidvia Lorenzetti...
[10:21] ---
    Shortly, the Croce di Pietro
    will initiate its effects,
[10:25] ---
    and Academy City will be
    converted to Roman Orthodoxy.
[10:30] ---
    Are you saying that those who
    get in the way, like us, will be purged?
[10:35] ---
    I am just declaring that
    we will care for your injuries,
[10:37] ---
    and see that you are healed.
    That is, of course, if it can be judged
[10:42] ---
    to be beneficial to the
    Roman Orthodox Church.
[10:45] ---
    What?!
[10:46] ---
    Don't listen to what
    she says, Kamijo Toma...
[10:50] ---
    Lidvia must be
    around here somewhere...
[10:53] ---
    The relic will be with her, too...
[10:54] ---
    To avoid any misunderstanding,
    allow me to say,
[10:57] ---
    the Croce di Pietro is
    not currently in Academy City.
[11:01] ---
    What...?
[11:03] ---
    The Roman Apostolic State that
    was created by the Croce di Pietro
[11:07] ---
    was, at its peak,
    47,000 square kilometers.
[11:11] ---
    Even if I release it
    outside of Academy City,
[11:13] ---
    it will easily cover
    the entirety of the city.
[11:17] ---
    We've been had... Oriana was a decoy...
[11:20] ---
    It is a shame that she was defeated,
[11:24] ---
    but the Croce di Pietro will
    turn even that to a proper outcome.
[11:29] ---
    The only thing that is important to us
[11:31] ---
    is the fact that science
    will bow to religion.
[11:34] ---
    By denying science
    and showing off our power,
[11:38] ---
    we can restore the Lord's authority.
[11:42] ---
    Seek and destroy...
[11:44] ---
    It's too much to ask Tsuchimikado
    to use magic twice at this point.
[11:48] ---
    Damn! Then what are we supposed to do?!
[11:51] ---
    We are not conducting
    the destruction of Academy City.
[11:54] ---
    Once we have you renounce
    the heresy of science,
[11:57] ---
    we will embrace you
    as our beloved comrades.
[11:59] ---
    Call Tsuchimikado.
[12:01] ---
    If we can use a divination
    circle to derive Lidvia's location,
[12:04] ---
    then use my communication
    magic to reach our outside forces...
[12:09] ---
    That won't be possible.
[12:10] ---
    The world will be converted
    by the Croce di Pietro...
[12:15] ---
    ...in another 107 seconds.
[12:17] ---
    Checkmate.
[12:20] ---
    Don't we have anything?
[12:22] ---
    Some final trump card that
    will turn the situation around?
[12:26] ---
    Magic that uses the
    constellations in the night sky...
[12:29] ---
    ...whose starlight is
    collected here on the ground...
[12:38] ---
    Tsuchimikado, how many places
    outside of Academy City are there
[12:41] ---
    that could still draw
    all of Academy City in
[12:43] ---
    if the Croce di Pietro were used there?
[12:45] ---
    What did you say?
[12:46] ---
    Just shut up and answer me!
[12:48] ---
    With those conditions,
    what would the farthest point be?
[12:51] ---
    Academy City's northern
    perimeter, by about 1,700 meters.
[12:55] ---
    What about it?
[13:02] ---
    "Daihasei Festival Schedule"
[13:05] ---
    There's only...
[13:06] ---
    Twenty seconds left.
[13:13] ---
    It is all over.
[13:19] ---
    It is indeed over, all right.
[13:22] ---
    And with things finishing like this,
    it's definitely the end for me.
[13:28] ---
    That is what you think, isn't it, Lidvia?
[13:31] ---
    I don't care how much I could
    have laid waste to your fantasies,
[13:35] ---
    if I can't even keep a promise
    to one of my classmates...
[13:37] ---
    Huh? What is this?
[13:57] ---
    W-What...?
[13:59] ---
    The time is now exactly
    6:30 p.m. Didn't you know?
[14:06] ---
    That's the time when
    the night parade starts.
[14:09] ---
    With this much light,
    it should blot out the stars well enough.
[14:14] ---
    No matter where you might be.
[14:19] ---
    You've been beaten by the light created
[14:22] ---
    by everyone observing the Daihasei Festival.
[14:25] ---
    You should have looked into who
    the stars of the Daihasei Festival are.
[14:30] ---
    What will it be? If you agree
    to destroy the Croce di Pietro,
[14:35] ---
    and to never again
    mess with Academy City,
[14:39] ---
    that's good enough for me.
[14:41] ---
    Are you serious? Have you forgotten
[14:44] ---
    that I am a devout believer
    of the Roman Orthodox Church?
[14:48] ---
    I see.
[14:54] ---
    In that case,
[14:56] ---
    let's keep playing tag with one
    another, like the field day this is,
[14:59] ---
    Lidvia Lorenzetti.
[15:11] ---
    So, without saying a word to me,
    Toma, you ended up getting pounded
[15:14] ---
    by participating in a magic battle
    for the fate of Academy City
[15:19] ---
    and the whole world, and had to
    be taken to the hospital, is that it?
[15:22] ---
    Yeah, but Miss Index,
    whenever magic comes up,
[15:25] ---
    you come traipsing right
    into the middle of the incident.
[15:29] ---
    Toma! The way you say that
    very much makes me sound foolish!
[15:33] ---
    Bzzt! The fact that you
    haven't figured it out before
[15:36] ---
    means that you really are--
[15:40] ---
    Oh, dear, what a pleasant sight, yet again.
[15:47] ---
    We were just having a serious talk,
    so don't butt in, short-hair!
[15:52] ---
    Kuroko...
[15:54] ---
    It's okay for the general public
[15:57] ---
    to assist in Judgment's
    security duties, right?
[16:01] ---
    Sissy, not inside
    a hospital, of all places.
[16:05] ---
    Damn.
[16:07] ---
    Okay, fine. Did you
    see today's final results?
[16:10] ---
    Our school slipped easily past
    your school to come out on top!
[16:15] ---
    Don't you go forgetting
    about the penalty game.
[16:18] ---
    W-Well, as far as the penalty game,
[16:20] ---
    I can't participate in
    anything in my condition, so...
[16:22] ---
    Hmm? Well...
[16:25] ---
    ...what if your life depended on it?
[16:36] ---
    Ah, that poor Oriana Thomson.
[16:40] ---
    I must save all those lost,
    captive sinners, personally.
[16:45] ---
    ♪ Ah-ah ♪ Attention, please.
[16:49] ---
    This is Laura Stuart, archbishop
    of the English Puritan Church--
[16:53] ---
    but you're not going
    to say something cold,
[16:56] ---
    like I have to identify myself,
    are you, Miss Lidvia?
[17:00] ---
    Why, here in this private jet...?
[17:04] ---
    When you stopped at Haneda,
[17:06] ---
    I had something pasted
    to the wall of your fuselage.
[17:10] ---
    As creepy as ever, I see.
[17:12] ---
    The more backed into a corner you get,
    the more apt you are to cackle.
[17:17] ---
    I wonder if there's anything
    to be done about that.
[17:20] ---
    The more difficult the situation is,
[17:22] ---
    the greater the joy I feel
    when I break free of it.
[17:25] ---
    I must give thanks to the Lord.
[17:33] ---
    What is it?
[17:34] ---
    The higher the obstacle is,
[17:36] ---
    the greater the thrill at the
    moment you overcome it, you say?
[17:42] ---
    I was just thinking,
    there is some truth to that,
[17:46] ---
    you swine facing a steep cliff.
[18:09] ---
    Lidvia, if you renounce the Roman
    teachings and come kiss at my feet,
[18:14] ---
    I would be willing to save you.
[18:16] ---
    What an absurd thing to say!
[18:18] ---
    I see.
[18:19] ---
    In that case, go ahead and make
    a crater, together with that thing.
[18:24] ---
    The Croce di Pietro!
[18:27] ---
    I won't allow it!
[18:31] ---
    At this speed, I can make it.
    No, I must make it!
[18:35] ---
    It will be right down to the wire,
[18:37] ---
    which makes it all the more thrilling!
[18:43] ---
    Well now, Lidvia, which will you choose?
[18:47] ---
    The world's greatest relic,
    or a poor, lost lamb?
[19:01] ---
    The greater the difficulty,
[19:04] ---
    the greater your joy
    will be when you overcome it,
[19:08] ---
    for getting to walk all over me,
    the one who placed you in it, right?
[19:12] ---
    Walk all over you?
[19:14] ---
    To rub your proud face in it...
    as much as I like...?
[19:37] ---
    We are reeling quite thoroughly
    after this, aren't we?
[19:42] ---
    The development of the Imagine Breaker,
[19:44] ---
    who is to be our key, is as yet unstable.
[19:48] ---
    I am unsure whether
    or not this will be feasible.
[19:52] ---
    I may have to consider the possibility
[19:55] ---
    that I myself will have to go forth.
[20:11] ---
    What are you doing here?
[20:14] ---
    I was sleeping on the
    bench in the waiting room,
[20:17] ---
    but come morning,
    they said I couldn't stay there,
[20:21] ---
    so I came to your comfortable bed.
[20:25] ---
    Are you all better now?
[20:27] ---
    Mm-hmm. From what
    the frog doctor told me,
[20:30] ---
    I should be able to
    get out today or tomorrow.
[20:33] ---
    Aisa, you seem a little
    bit lonely to me. How come?
[20:41] ---
    Did he go and do something
    crazy again this time?
[20:45] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's right.
[20:47] ---
    Oh, yeah. I haven't
    heard all the details yet,
[20:51] ---
    but apparently, some
    Roman Orthodox magicians
[20:54] ---
    were using the "Daihasei Festival"
    thing to launch an attack.
[20:57] ---
    So then, Toma once again went
    off without saying anything to me,
[21:02] ---
    and after running off
    helter-skelter by himself,
[21:05] ---
    only told me about it like he
    was making an after-incident report!
[21:10] ---
    Oh... Then it could have been anyone.
[21:14] ---
    He helps anyone who
    is in trouble, and not just me.
[21:21] ---
    Perhaps I really shouldn't
    have had him help me.
[21:27] ---
    I may be nothing more than
    a bother to everyone else, huh?
[21:31] ---
    No, that's not true!
[21:33] ---
    Huh?
[21:36] ---
    I mean, Toma seems to enjoy
    himself when he's with you, Aisa.
[21:42] ---
    Hey, Fukiyose, what's the big idea,
[21:45] ---
    coming into my
    hospital room and slapping me?
[21:47] ---
    You hush! Anyone would be startled
    when they suddenly see a guy naked!
[21:52] ---
    You're the one who came in while
    I was changing my clothes, right?
[21:54] ---
    What did you say?!
[21:55] ---
    Say, do you know why
    he fights like he does?
[22:00] ---
    Nah.
[22:01] ---
    When I asked him once,
    he said it was for himself.
[22:05] ---
    Maybe for Toma,
    it's what makes him happy.
[22:10] ---
    Huh?
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[23:06] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:30] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    For good or ill, Index and
    I are suddenly off to Italy.
[23:58] ---
    And now that we're here,
    let's relax and do some sightseeing!
[24:01] ---
    Wait, Orsola? And the Amakusa?
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "City of Water."
[24:06] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

[00:31] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma,
    am an unlucky person.
[00:36] ---
    Just look back over the last seven
    days of the Daihasei Festival,
[00:39] ---
    and you'll be able to tell.
[00:41] ---
    Even having cleared up the
    outrageous problem from the first day,
[00:44] ---
    from the second day onward,
[00:46] ---
    I accidentally witnessed
    Miss Komoe changing...
[00:50] ---
    ...immediately got head-butted by a
    completely recovered Fukiyose Seiri...
[00:55] ---
    ...was hit by a gumball from the
    wheelchair Himegami Aisa was in...
[00:59] ---
    ...and right as I was being forced
    to do a folk dance with Misaka Mikoto...
[01:04] ---
    I took a dropkick to the back of
    the head from Shirai Kuroko.
[01:07] ---
    For some reason,
    I feel run pretty ragged now.
[01:13] ---
    To repeat, I, Kamijo Toma,
    am an unlucky--
[01:18] ---
    Congratulations!
[01:19] ---
    In the Spectator Numbers game,
    held on the last day of the Daihasei Festival,
[01:23] ---
    the number you
    selected took first place!
[01:26] ---
    Your prize is... a 7-day, 5-night
    trip for two to Northern Italy!
[01:27] ---
    "1st Place: Northern Italy
    (7-day, 5-night trip for two)"
[01:31] ---

[01:34] ---
    Huh? A trip to Italy?
[01:55] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:59] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[02:04] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[02:08] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[02:14] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[02:19] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[02:30] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[02:35] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[02:40] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[02:46] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:53] ---
    No buts!

    #14 City of Water
[03:09] ---
    Not to keep harping on it, but I,
    Kamijo Toma, am an unlucky person.
[03:14] ---
    I don't have a passport, do I?!
[03:16] ---
    Hmm? What's a passport?
[03:20] ---
    I knew it, all right. I knew
    this would happen from the start.
[03:24] ---
    And it's only two days to the trip.
[03:26] ---
    Even if I requested
    a passport today-- Huh?
[03:35] ---
    Well if it isn't my passport!
[03:38] ---
    What do you know?
    Have I ever gone overseas?
[03:41] ---
    Toma! Toma!
    I've got something a lot like that!
[03:50] ---
    Hey, you don't have any
    stamps or writing in here, you know!
[03:55] ---
    Just how did you manage to
    get all the way here?
[03:58] ---
    So anyway, Toma,
[03:59] ---
    if I've got one of those,
[04:01] ---
    does that mean I can go
    on your trip together with you?
[04:06] ---
    Er... Huh?
[04:08] ---
    Right now, I get the
    feeling it would be okay.
[04:10] ---
    Despite the fact that
    I'm an unlucky person.
[04:13] ---
    "International Airport"
[04:14] ---
    You haven't forgotten anything, right?
[04:16] ---
    Your wallet, your passport,
    your plane ticket,
[04:19] ---
    your necessary documents,
    something to change into...
[04:21] ---
    Eh, what else?
[04:22] ---
    Toma! Toma! Why are you
    being such a worrywart over this?
[04:26] ---
    Y-Yeah, you're right.
    Yeah, it's okay to enjoy this, isn't it?
[04:31] ---
    Okay! For these seven days
    and five nights in Northern Italy,
[04:34] ---
    I'm going to relish some happiness
[04:35] ---
    for the first time in a long, long while!
[04:38] ---
    Yeah!
[04:44] ---
    U-Uh, is something wrong?
[04:46] ---
    What is this?
[04:47] ---
    Huh?
[04:50] ---
    Damn! We have to run, Index!
    You need something more proper to wear,
[04:53] ---
    or they won't let us on the plane!
[04:55] ---
    Huh? What, Toma?
    You're going to buy me some clothes?
[04:58] ---
    The shopping area is
    another 1.5 kilometers ahead.
[05:00] ---
    We only have twenty-eight minutes
    before the plane takes off!
[05:03] ---
    Damn it! I knew this would be my luck!
[05:19] ---
    Man, we sure are close to the sea, huh?
[05:21] ---
    It would be more accurate
    to say the sea surrounds us
[05:24] ---
    than to say we're close to it.
    The center of Chioggia here
[05:27] ---
    is an island city in the Adriatic Sea.
[05:30] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[05:43] ---
    Whoo... after running around
    buying a ton of safety pins
[05:46] ---
    after getting to the airport and
    having our guide leave us behind,
[05:50] ---
    I was worried there for a
    second what would happen,
[05:53] ---
    but we finally made it here.
[05:54] ---
    For you to survive in an
    international society nowadays, Toma,
[05:58] ---
    you should speak
    at least three languages.
[06:00] ---
    Ungh, having a crazy Sister
    like you talking to me about
[06:03] ---
    "nowadays" and "at leasts" is too much.
[06:13] ---
    We can eat after we
    drop off our luggage at the hotel.
[06:16] ---
    I know! You don't have
    to come out and say so!
[06:22] ---
    Listen, the food is fine and all,
[06:22] ---
    Is that authentic squid ink gelato?
[06:24] ---
    but once we finish checking in,
[06:25] ---
    let's go into Venice!
[06:27] ---
    I've always wanted to ride in a gondola!
[06:32] ---
    Huh?
[06:34] ---
    Hey! Index!
[06:38] ---
    Index!
[06:40] ---
    Hey! Index!
[06:44] ---
    If I keep this up,
    I'm the one who'll end up lost.
[06:47] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[06:51] ---
    Huh?
[06:52] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[06:59] ---
    "H-Hallo." No, that's not it. What is it?
[07:03] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[07:11] ---
    [speaking Italian]
[07:15] ---
    Oh, should I not
    have done that just now?
[07:19] ---
    It looked to me like you
    were at a loss as to what to do.
[07:23] ---
    O-Orsola?
[07:26] ---
    Yes.
[07:28] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[07:31] ---
    Oh, I kind of won a 7-day,
    5-night trip to Northern Italy.
[07:35] ---
    For that matter, Orsola,
    why are you here?
[07:37] ---
    I thought you were in London.
[07:39] ---
    I still kept a residence
    here until just the other day.
[07:43] ---
    When I, you know, moved
    from the Roman Orthodox Church
[07:46] ---
    to the English Puritan Church,
    it was a bit of a commotion.
[07:50] ---
    I still have some
    things remaining here,
[07:53] ---
    but the Amakusa are kind enough
    to help out, just like movers.
[07:58] ---
    Wait, the Amakusa?
    You mean those Amakusa?
[08:03] ---
    By the way, were you out shopping?
[08:06] ---
    Huh? Oh, no, actually,
[08:08] ---
    while I'm glad to have come
    here together with Index,
[08:11] ---
    she up and disappeared somewhere.
[08:13] ---
    Then our meeting
    here is a turn of fate.
[08:16] ---
    This works out perfectly. Can I ask
    you to help me move my things?
[08:22] ---
    Huh?
[08:22] ---
    Well, like I said,
    I have to find Index, so...
[08:26] ---
    Oh, if you are looking for Miss Index...
[08:29] ---
    Huh?
[08:30] ---
    Toma! Toma! Toma!
[08:32] ---
    Toma! As delicious as the gelato is here,
[08:36] ---
    this is still the discount,
    economy size!
[08:40] ---
    Yum!
[08:43] ---
    ...I saw her pressed up against
    the window of a storefront
[08:46] ---
    specializing in gelato
    a short while ago,
[08:49] ---
    so I asked a friend of mine to
    invite her back to my residence.
[08:55] ---
    And you left me behind...
[08:58] ---
    Ah, Orsola, is lunch ready yet?
[09:01] ---
    Yes, it is almost time.
[09:03] ---
    Hooray!
[09:05] ---
    Just my luck.
[09:07] ---
    That is the man who is a
    respected colleague of His Holiness?
[09:10] ---
    But then, how powerful can he be?
[09:13] ---
    You only question as much
[09:14] ---
    because you did not assist
    in rescuing Sister Orsola.
[09:18] ---
    That is the gentleman
    who went up against
[09:20] ---
    the Roman Orthodox
    Warrior Sisters unarmed,
[09:22] ---
    and declared war
    against them all by himself.
[09:26] ---
    He has also witnessed
    the Priestess in the altogether,
[09:28] ---
    and despite being belted by
    her Shichiten Shichito sword's sheath,
[09:31] ---
    he did not even
    need bandaging afterward.
[09:35] ---
    He's a monster.
[09:37] ---
    What kind of screwed-up
    appraisal is that?
[09:42] ---
    Wow! This looks delicious!
[09:42] ---
    Wow! This looks delicious!
[09:45] ---
    But are you sure? We haven't
    helped out with moving at all yet.
[09:50] ---
    The offering of my hospitality
    to you two comes first.
[09:55] ---
    Well, don't mind if we do.
[10:01] ---
    Would you like to use this?
[10:06] ---
    Thanks.
[10:07] ---
    Not at all.
[10:11] ---
    Itsuwa, how do you feel your
    wet towel operation went?
[10:14] ---
    You dummy, it's too
    soon to see any results.
[10:17] ---
    Let things run their course.
[10:19] ---
    Isn't this kind of taking the long way?
[10:20] ---
    Aren't they going to eat with us?
[10:23] ---
    They said that they
    are in training or something,
[10:25] ---
    and that they must
    observe a set meal etiquette.
[10:27] ---
    Toma!
[10:29] ---
    Go ahead, please,
    before your food becomes cold.
[10:33] ---
    Okay, then--
[10:34] ---
    Thank you for this meal!
[10:34] ---
    Thank you for this meal!
[10:42] ---
    Yum!
[10:42] ---
    Yum!
[10:43] ---
    What is this? Can pasta
    really be this delicious?
[10:46] ---
    This tastes about 500 times better
    than what you always make, Toma.
[10:49] ---
    You've got no right to complain,
[10:51] ---
    but this really is good,
    so who cares? Yum!
[10:54] ---
    Yum! Yum!
[10:55] ---
    By the way, is the purpose
    of your trip to see Venice?
[11:00] ---
    Well, yeah it is, but we
    can't seem to reach our tour guide.
[11:05] ---
    I would love for you to see Venice.
[11:09] ---
    "The City of Water,"
    "The Queen of the Adriatic,"
[11:12] ---
    it is expressed in many
    ways, so beautiful the city is.
[11:17] ---
    Well then, I guess
    we'll go have a look. Index...
[11:19] ---
    (As long as I have this food,
    I could stay here forever)
[11:24] ---
    What are you even saying?
[11:32] ---
    All righty...
[11:47] ---
    I guess packing the dishes is next.
[11:50] ---
    Orsola! Where did you say
    your stock of newspaper is?
[11:54] ---
    It is right over here.
[12:08] ---
    The pairing of that voice
    and the sound of water means...
[12:11] ---
    Wah! Toma!
[12:13] ---
    I'm starting to get all dirty.
[12:16] ---
    If you like, you are
    welcome to take a shower.
[12:19] ---
    You must be worn
    out from your long trip.
[12:22] ---
    Whoa-ho! It's the
    old bathroom trap, is it?
[12:26] ---
    Whew, I almost fell for it, too--
[12:31] ---
    A voice coming from here, too?
[12:33] ---
    What is this?
    What the hell is going on?
[12:44] ---
    It's a fundamental premise
    that there are not two bathrooms.
[12:47] ---
    One of them will be,
    the other one won't be.
[12:50] ---
    Damn, what kind of choice
    between two extremes is this?!
[12:53] ---
    Right... no, left... No, wait!
[12:56] ---
    The shower sounds
    are only coming from the left,
[12:58] ---
    so the correct answer is... the right!
[13:01] ---
    I figured it out!
[13:05] ---
    At that moment, I wondered to myself,
[13:08] ---
    why didn't I think of the simple solution
[13:10] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:11] ---
    of knocking first to make
    sure what was inside?
[13:16] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:23] ---
    Huh?
[13:35] ---
    U-Um...
[13:37] ---
    Wah! This way's the bathroom?!
[13:39] ---
    I-I'm sorry, Orsola!
[13:41] ---
    Gah!
[13:42] ---
    Th-There's a stifling breeze coming
    out of this stick with a roar--!
[13:55] ---
    Wait, a bathroom
    on the right and the left?!
[13:58] ---
    There are two bathrooms in this house?!
[14:00] ---
    Y-Yes. One for daily use,
[14:04] ---
    and the second one
    was put in for religious use.
[14:09] ---
    Now, because of the move,
[14:10] ---
    its function as a baptistery
    has been discontinued.
[14:13] ---
    This is outrageous! I call foul!
[14:16] ---
    Toma...
[14:18] ---
    Why are you here to begin with, Toma?
[14:21] ---
    And why, after seeing us naked,
    do I not hear you saying you're sorry?
[14:25] ---
    W-Well, you see, Miss Index,
    I needed some newspaper, so--
[14:31] ---
    Just my luck!
[14:34] ---
    Oh, my goodness.
[14:41] ---
    All right, if you would be so kind...
[14:50] ---
    Thank you for all
    you have done, both of you.
[14:54] ---
    I am so sorry to keep
    you occupied for so long.
[14:58] ---
    What are you going to do now, Orsola?
[15:00] ---
    Would you like to go around
    seeing the sights with us?
[15:03] ---
    Oh, no, not at all. Are you asking
    me to follow along after you,
[15:07] ---
    with the two of you heading to your hotel?
[15:10] ---
    I mean, three's a crowd...
[15:14] ---
    What? Three's a crowd?
[15:15] ---
    No need to ask, and no need
    to know what she means, Index!
[15:20] ---
    Besides, I would like to go around
    Chioggia and say my goodbyes.
[15:26] ---
    I have lived in the city
    for a long time, after all.
[15:31] ---
    That is something
    I don't exactly want you to see.
[15:35] ---
    I may develop a
    less-than-dignified look on my face.
[15:39] ---
    Okay.
[15:43] ---
    Well, I will be leaving.
    If you ever get the chance,
[15:47] ---
    I will invite you to my
    apartment in London, as well.
[15:50] ---
    Yeah, same here.
    If you ever get to Japan again...
[15:54] ---
    But before that happens,
    Toma may need to clean the place up.
[15:59] ---
    No, this can't be...
[16:01] ---
    Everyone, get down!
[16:03] ---
    AATR.
[16:10] ---
    Orsola!
[16:11] ---
    Huh?
[16:12] ---
    If Index was disturbed
    by this, it means...
[16:15] ---
    Magic!
[16:16] ---
    Huh?
[16:23] ---
    Where's it coming from?
    Who's doing it?
[16:30] ---
    Toma!
[16:39] ---
    ISICBI.
[17:06] ---
    What about the sniper?!
[17:07] ---
    It's all right. It's already dealt with.
[17:10] ---
    Dealt with? What did you do?
[17:12] ---
    If they are aiming at us from a distance,
[17:15] ---
    then the situation here is being
    carefully relayed to the enemy.
[17:19] ---
    Which means that no matter where they are,
[17:21] ---
    they have to be taking
    in my spell intercept.
[17:32] ---
    Is that the sniper?!
[17:44] ---
    W-What the...?
[18:32] ---
    Damn, this is crazy!
[18:34] ---
    How can something like
    this pop up out of the canal?
[18:38] ---
    Orsola, let's just get in the boat!
[18:40] ---
    R-Right.
[18:46] ---
    This is glass... no, is it ice?
[18:59] ---
    Toma! Are you okay?! Toma!
[19:03] ---
    Why is a huge ship like
    this going down the canal?
[19:29] ---
    It looks like we are headed away from land.
[19:32] ---
    Yeah. Just where are
    they planning on heading?
[19:44] ---
    What should we do?
    They appear to be searching for us.
[19:49] ---
    I know. But...
[19:52] ---
    ...we can't really jump off to get away.
[19:55] ---
    Let's just hide for now,
    and wait for our chance to escape.
[20:07] ---
    Toma...
[20:14] ---
    Damn, what is going on here?
[20:22] ---
    Let's go.
[20:30] ---
    Please excuse the intrusion.
[20:46] ---
    Why would they go so far as to
    use something as outrageous as this
[20:49] ---
    to come and attack me?
[20:51] ---
    The robes they were wearing
    looked a lot like your habit, Orsola.
[20:55] ---
    Yes, it is reasonable that
    you would take them to be members
[20:59] ---
    of the Roman Orthodox Church.
[21:01] ---
    Which means that this must
    concern the Book of the Law, all right.
[21:05] ---
    That whole incident
    should have been settled
[21:08] ---
    by my going over to
    the English Puritan Church.
[21:36] ---
    This ship is not the enemy's stronghold;
[21:39] ---
    one might say that it is
    just one part of the larger whole.
[21:42] ---
    I guess Chioggia is too small
    a place for all of them to deploy.
[21:47] ---
    Do you think Index is okay?
[21:50] ---
    I can still use my cell phone,
[21:52] ---
    but damn it, sure enough,
    she didn't charge hers.
[21:55] ---
    Then again, will the signal
    reach out at sea?
[21:58] ---
    I am not sure.
[22:02] ---
    Th-The door!
[22:05] ---
    This is bad! Hide someplace, Orsola!
[22:07] ---
    But where, exactly?
[22:10] ---
    Hell, right here!
[22:12] ---
    First thing to do is to close the door--
[22:22] ---
    Agnese...?
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone
[22:53] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around
[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again
[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk
[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that
[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    An outrageous operation
    that involves Agnese...
[23:58] ---
    A secret organization,
    called the Queen of the Adriatic...
[24:00] ---
    And Tatemiya?!
    You and the Amakusa, too?!
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "Queen's Fleet."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

[00:35] ---
    Agnese...?
[00:39] ---
    Wait!
[00:40] ---
    I wish you would wait just a moment!
[00:43] ---
    What are you two doing around
    the Queen of the Adriatic Sea?
[00:47] ---
    Oh... we just happened to
    end up on the ship by chance.
[00:51] ---
    Is the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea"
    the name of this ice fleet?
[00:57] ---
    The fleet's name
    is the "Queen's Fleet."
[00:59] ---
    This ship is one
    of the escort vessels.
[01:02] ---
    Apparently, you really
    don't know anything, do you?
[01:04] ---
    What exactly are you doing here?
[01:08] ---
    I'm helping to
    search for intruders.
[01:11] ---
    However, I never imagined the
    intruders would be you two.
[01:16] ---
    I might be able to take
    advantage of this.
[01:18] ---
    We just barely got roped into all of this.
[01:20] ---
    If you're going to keep
    yammering like that, I'll scream.
[01:23] ---
    You'd best not get on my bad
    side if you want to get out of here.
[01:30] ---
    For now, we have
    no choice but to obey her.
[01:33] ---
    Just what is in it for you
    if you allow us to escape?
[01:38] ---
    Compensation. As long
    as I get that, we'll be fine.

[03:17] ---
    What exactly is this "Queen's
    Fleet" in the first place?
[03:21] ---
    Well, it's a fleet built to
    patrol the Adriatic Sea.
[03:27] ---
    I had never heard of it before.
[03:30] ---
    There are only a very few
    departments that do know about it.
[03:35] ---
    We were attacked out of nowhere
    by the guys on this boat.
[03:39] ---
    Are you sure this fleet
    was instituted just for patrolling?
[03:42] ---
    Maybe you literally got
    caught by one of the patrols.
[03:46] ---
    Hmm?
[03:47] ---
    You are the people who ruined
    the Roman Orthodox Church's project.
[03:51] ---
    Moreover, one of you is here
    from Japan, and the other from London.
[03:56] ---
    Well, all pretense aside,
    this is actually a kind of labor camp.
[04:01] ---
    It's where they gather offenders like me,
[04:04] ---
    and have us work off the
    losses that we have incurred.
[04:07] ---
    That's why about the only ones
    on this ship are my squad--
[04:09] ---
    or rather, my former
    squad of Sisters.
[04:13] ---
    Anyway, to get to the point,
[04:15] ---
    in return for letting you two get away,
[04:18] ---
    I want you to find
    Sister Lucia and Sister Angelene,
[04:20] ---
    and rescue the two
    of them from this place.
[04:23] ---
    By rescue, you mean...
[04:25] ---
    Those two used a
    magic spell to outfox the scouts,
[04:29] ---
    and broke out of the lockup.
[04:31] ---
    The two of them were
    apparently planning to rescue us,
[04:34] ---
    once they had
    their preparations in place.
[04:43] ---
    So, the two of them were brought back,
[04:46] ---
    and had the book thrown at them?
[04:48] ---
    Preventing their
    breakout spell must come first.
[04:51] ---
    They'll probably be processed to
    keep them from using the spell again.
[04:55] ---
    Processed?
[04:56] ---
    Are you talking about having
    their powers of thought taken from them?
[05:00] ---
    Meaning, the violation
    of their brain structure?
[05:04] ---
    I want you to rescue them before
    that happens. That's my request.
[05:09] ---
    Doing so will also give
    you the spell to escape, right?
[05:12] ---
    Yes, but isn't the spell already
    known to the Roman Orthodoxy?
[05:17] ---
    The Queen's Fleet has a
    major operation ahead of them.
[05:20] ---
    They can't afford to be distracted
    by a couple of people breaking out.
[05:24] ---
    I will head to the
    flagship as a diversion.
[05:28] ---
    While I'm gone,
    please come up with something.
[05:30] ---
    Are you saying you're helping us?
[05:32] ---
    Not helping you, just using you.
[05:34] ---
    But you're caught too, right?
    Run away with us.
[05:38] ---
    What the overseers are afraid
    of is an uprising by the laborers.
[05:42] ---
    I'm something of a mental safety
    device to guard against that,
[05:46] ---
    if you can call it that.
[05:47] ---
    I have the authority to walk
    around freely aboard the ship,
[05:50] ---
    and am also exempt from the labor.
[05:53] ---
    It's surprisingly comfortable
    living aboard here.
[05:56] ---
    Sisters Lucia and Angelene have
    nowhere to go, though.
[06:00] ---
    They should have just gotten away themselves.
[06:05] ---
    If you are lucky enough to get out of here,
[06:06] ---
    be sure not to get involved with
    the Roman Orthodox Church again.
[06:10] ---
    I know. But now that
    we're so vastly outnumbered,
[06:13] ---
    I'm not so sure
    we're getting out of this.
[06:15] ---
    Oh? Is that something the
    guy who earlier went up against
[06:18] ---
    so many Sisters
    singlehandedly would say?
[06:24] ---
    Th-Thanks.
[06:34] ---
    Your habit--
[06:36] ---
    it was specially adorned to provide
[06:39] ---
    a magical restraining effect, was it?
[06:44] ---
    Shh!
[06:47] ---
    If that is the Queen's Fleet,
[06:50] ---
    then it won't do any
    good for me to go alone.
[06:56] ---
    There is no one here, is there?
[06:58] ---
    No. Agnese did say
    it was mostly unmanned.
[07:03] ---
    That's the room where
    Lucia and Angelene are.
[07:08] ---
    What's that?
[07:09] ---
    Is something the matter?
[07:13] ---
    Stand back, Orsola!
[07:24] ---
    This suit of armor is like a
    robot that runs on magic, is it?
[07:28] ---
    Yes. It appears to be part
    of this ship, in an altered form.
[07:40] ---
    Don't move!
[07:43] ---
    How do you think we destroyed that?
[07:46] ---
    Whoops, I spoke in
    Japanese without thinking,
[07:50] ---
    but you still understand me, right?
[07:51] ---
    If you choose not to heed my warning,
[07:53] ---
    I will just have to use this.
[07:58] ---
    We have come to rescue you.
[08:00] ---
    Do you really think we
    will believe what you say?
[08:04] ---
    Well, you see...
[08:06] ---
    As far as what Agnese told us,
[08:08] ---
    you guys can perform the magic
    we need to get us out of here.
[08:11] ---
    So she told us to rescue you
    and get you to cooperate with us.
[08:14] ---
    S-Sister Agnese, you say?
[08:17] ---
    Consider for a moment
    the possibility that this is a trap!
[08:20] ---
    This is the enemy stronghold.
[08:22] ---
    I cannot imagine any
    reason why we would go so far
[08:25] ---
    as to even use Sister Agnese's
    name just to rescue you.
[08:30] ---
    Sister Lucia...
[08:35] ---
    All right. There is some
    logic to what you're saying.
[08:40] ---
    By the way, how is it that we escape?
[08:43] ---
    It would take too long to explain.
[08:44] ---
    Sister Angelene...
[08:46] ---
    Oh, um...
[08:54] ---
    Awesome!
[08:56] ---
    A subclass of the magic
    that uses ice to build ships
[08:58] ---
    can open up voids within them.
[09:00] ---
    By taking advantage of this,
    we can solidify seawater
[09:03] ---
    to create seabed coasters.
[09:07] ---
    What's wrong?!
[09:08] ---
    I-It looks like our restraint
    clothing is also equipped
[09:11] ---
    with a kind of
    countermeasure spell.
[09:14] ---
    If we follow the right procedure
    and break apart the seams,
[09:16] ---
    we can disrupt part of
    the restraint functionality.
[09:18] ---
    Disrupt?
[09:21] ---
    Then look, there's a
    quicker way for me to--
[09:25] ---
    Now, now, don't tell me you
    mean to strip them bare naked, too.
[09:50] ---
    What's going to happen to us now?
[09:53] ---
    More importantly...
[09:55] ---
    ...there's something about
    tonight's supper that bothers me.
[09:58] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:00] ---
    Nothing in this world is
    more important than the Lord.
[10:02] ---
    I-It bothered me, too.
[10:05] ---
    Three days in a row now,
    they used olives as the secret ingredient.
[10:08] ---
    Oh, and the baths
    are a little too hot, too, huh?
[10:11] ---
    Secret ingredients
    don't make any difference!
[10:13] ---
    And also, the baths
    are lukewarm, if anything!
[10:16] ---
    Y-You think so?
[10:18] ---
    It's true, the grown-ups do not
    seem to pay it too much mind...
[10:22] ---
    Which would mean...
[10:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
[10:27] ---
    I-If you're going to have a word
    with them, I'll come with you.
[10:31] ---
    Yes, indeed...
[10:32] ---
    That might not be a bad idea.
[10:38] ---
    When can we join
    up with Sister Agnese?
[10:42] ---
    Sorry.
[10:44] ---
    Agnese probably won't be coming.
[10:47] ---
    She said she would act as a
    diversion so you could be rescued.
[10:51] ---
    It sounds like she went
    to the Queen's Fleet's flagship.
[10:54] ---
    You've got to be kidding!
[10:55] ---
    The Queen's Fleet
    has some large-scale magic,
[10:58] ---
    meant to protect the Queen
    of the Adriatic Sea ritual grounds!
[11:01] ---
    Queen of the Adriatic Sea?
[11:02] ---
    All I know is, it's held on
    the flagship of the same name.
[11:06] ---
    The key to activating it involves
    a spell of a different name,
[11:10] ---
    known as the Rosary
    of the Appointed Time.
[11:12] ---
    Also, Sister Agnese is used for
    the Rosary of the Appointed Time.
[11:17] ---
    W-What's going to happen to Agnese?
[11:21] ---
    Not even we know all the details.
[11:23] ---
    However, at the least,
    her brain will certainly be destroyed,
[11:27] ---
    and she will be left so
    that only her heart is beating.
[11:32] ---
    The Queen's Fleet has a
    major operation ahead of them.
[11:35] ---
    They can't afford to be distracted
    by a couple of people breaking out.
[11:42] ---
    A-An attack! But from where?
[11:47] ---
    It can't be.
    From one of their own ships?
[11:57] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:03] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:09] ---
    The holy cannon fire of Saint Barbara?
[12:11] ---
    Just what are they aiming at?
[12:13] ---
    You don't know, Sister Agnese?
[12:18] ---
    Bishop Biagio...
[12:21] ---
    Ship number 37 has been sunk.
[12:24] ---
    Any further fire may
    be interference from land.
[12:27] ---
    Let another department
    deal with any public attention.
[12:30] ---
    That is beyond my purview.
[12:34] ---
    If anything were to happen to you,
    there would be no undoing the harm.
[12:38] ---
    How ironic.
[12:40] ---
    The Rosary of the Appointed Time...
[12:42] ---
    Imagine, an apostate like you,
[12:44] ---
    being the only
    one appropriate for this spell.
[12:49] ---
    Bishop Biagio,
    we have an emergency!
[12:51] ---
    What?
[12:52] ---
    We are reading a giant
    structure underneath Ship number 37!
[12:56] ---
    It appears to be retrieving the wreckage!
[12:59] ---
    A submersible spell...
[13:09] ---
    Orsola and the others...
[13:12] ---
    This isn't good...
[13:16] ---
    I really... could die here...
[13:26] ---
    Toma!
[13:29] ---
    Index...
[13:30] ---
    Do you feel okay, Toma?
[13:33] ---
    Yeah...
[13:41] ---
    T-Tatemiya Saiji?
[13:43] ---
    Yeah, deputy pope
    of the Amakusa Church.
[13:47] ---
    Although nowadays, we tack
    on "of the English Puritan Church."
[13:51] ---
    Here.
[13:54] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[13:55] ---
    Not at all.
[14:01] ---
    Wait, what am I doing here?!
    Where are Orsola and the others?!
[14:04] ---
    Oh, we managed to take all of you in.
[14:07] ---
    We're speaking with the
    men elsewhere, however.
[14:11] ---
    I see. So, is this something
    like an Amakusa secret base?
[14:17] ---
    This isn't a building.
[14:19] ---
    Huh? You don't mean...!
[14:24] ---
    I'd like to say you're aboard a submarine,
[14:28] ---
    but it's not quite as
    high-performance as that.
[14:30] ---
    At best, you could say
    it's close to being a wooden ship
[14:32] ---
    that is equipped with submersible
    capability. It's a diving boat.
[14:36] ---
    You bring along something
    like this to help with a move?
[14:41] ---
    It's only natural that we'd
    have a weapon close at hand.
[14:44] ---
    Besides, naval warfare
    is what we excel at most.
[14:48] ---
    Paper is made from wood,
    and wood is what boats are made from, too.
[14:57] ---
    Agnese...
[14:59] ---
    W-What?
[15:00] ---
    Nothing. Whatever you're going to do next,
[15:02] ---
    you first have to
    tell me what it is, in detail.
[15:05] ---
    In that case, shouldn't you
    be talking to Lucia and Angelene?
[15:09] ---
    Huh...?
[15:14] ---
    Looks like you made
    it out safely, too. Hmm?
[15:17] ---
    Oh, you do not
    have to embarrass them so.
[15:21] ---
    Huh?
[15:22] ---
    The habits these two were
    wearing were restraint clothing,
[15:24] ---
    provided by the
    Roman Orthodox Church, you see.
[15:27] ---
    Yeah?
[15:27] ---
    In order to destroy them,
[15:29] ---
    they had to use your right
    hand while you were unconscious.
[15:33] ---
    Eh?
[15:37] ---
    So you're saying...
[15:39] ---
    Yes, that's what I'm saying.
[15:44] ---
    Toma...!
[15:46] ---
    F-For you to be upset by that...
[15:49] ---
    ...isn't reasonable!
[15:51] ---
    Oh, that's right! This is
    no time to just be standing around!
[15:55] ---
    U-Um, Sister Agnese is still--
[15:57] ---
    We still have an objective to carry out.
[16:13] ---
    Itsuwa, now's your chance! Do it!
[16:15] ---
    Give him a smooch right on the earlobe!
[16:17] ---
    Could you tell them what's going on?!
[16:19] ---
    Oh, my...
[16:19] ---
    This is starting to get interesting.
[16:21] ---
    Please, just listen to me!
[16:25] ---
    Pay attention!
[16:36] ---
    S-Sister Angelene...!
[16:38] ---
    I-It was always like
    this in our squad, wasn't it?
[16:42] ---
    So, um, I did what I always do.
[16:46] ---
    Always?
[16:48] ---
    Rather than coffee or tea,
    I'd like to have cioccolata con panna.
[16:53] ---
    What's that?
[16:54] ---
    You pour lots of fresh
    cream over a chocolate drink--
[16:58] ---
    Sister Angelene, a follower of
    the cross does not obsess about food.
[17:01] ---
    Now, now...
[17:02] ---
    Um... here.
[17:06] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[17:08] ---
    Not at all.
[17:12] ---
    Again with the wet
    towel operation, Itsuwa?
[17:14] ---
    Wow, you're sure taking your time.
[17:15] ---
    No, not making too much headway
    is one of Itsuwa's charms, isn't it?
[17:21] ---
    So then, how did the Queen of
    the Adriatic become the spell's name?
[17:25] ---
    Long ago, Venice and
    the Roman Orthodox Church
[17:28] ---
    were on fairly poor terms.
[17:32] ---
    The Queen of the Adriatic
    was the thing that they prepared
[17:36] ---
    to bury Venice with one strike.
[17:39] ---
    Bury? Is it like a bomb or something?
[17:42] ---
    It doesn't just destroy;
[17:44] ---
    it even steals all of the town's
    culture and history, as well.
[17:48] ---
    All of it?
[17:49] ---
    I'm sure Sister Agnese
    doesn't know any of this.
[17:53] ---
    If she knew, there's no way she
    would just stand by doing nothing.
[17:56] ---
    So in short, we're saying
    to bring back Agnese Sanctis
[18:00] ---
    before this magic can be activated.
[18:03] ---
    Anyhow, it's an awful can of worms.
[18:07] ---
    Even so, we have to go.
[18:09] ---
    Unless we do something,
    Sister Agnese will be crippled.
[18:13] ---
    Would you have us just
    sit back and watch it happen?!
[18:15] ---
    I was always being helped
    out by Sister Agnese,
[18:20] ---
    so there is no way I can say
    goodbye to her without paying her back!
[18:23] ---
    But our enemy is a real problem.
[18:25] ---
    If we surround them with seabed coasters,
[18:27] ---
    we might be able to stop the fleet!
[18:29] ---
    You don't think that all
    it takes to deal with them
[18:31] ---
    is to stop them from moving, do you?
[18:33] ---
    W-Well, I...
[18:36] ---
    Look, Tatemiya,
    you've said enough, haven't you?
[18:40] ---
    Huh?
[18:41] ---
    What we should be arguing over
[18:43] ---
    isn't just about whether or not
    we want to rescue Agnese, is it?
[18:49] ---
    She deliberately threw
    away her own chance to be saved,
[18:52] ---
    to let her friends get away instead.
[18:54] ---
    If we don't do something,
    her mind is going to be destroyed
[18:57] ---
    with her feelings still exploited.
[18:59] ---
    The question is,
    why wouldn't we rescue her?
[19:01] ---
    Doing so would
    prevent the destruction of Venice,
[19:03] ---
    and everything else, right?
[19:06] ---
    In that case, there's
    only one thing to do, isn't there?
[19:09] ---
    Don't you want to rescue her?
[19:11] ---
    If not, I'm going there alone!
[19:15] ---
    Geez, for our part,
    we were past that from the word go.
[19:19] ---
    We've had a plan ready to go to begin with.
[19:22] ---
    Eh?
[19:22] ---
    I just wanted to hear if
    you were ready for this or not.
[19:27] ---
    Tatemiya...
[19:29] ---
    Listen up!
[19:30] ---
    Now that we're heading
    off to the battlefield,
[19:32] ---
    let's be sure to come back alive!
[19:34] ---
    What teaching did we
    receive from the Priestess?
[19:37] ---
    The hand of redemption
    to the irredeemable!
[19:45] ---
    Here, for you.
[19:47] ---
    Oh, my.
[19:48] ---
    I can't use it,
    so maybe you'd better hold onto it.
[19:54] ---
    W-What is it, Index?
[19:57] ---
    Nothing.
[20:00] ---
    All right, let's get started.
[20:06] ---
    Bishop Biagio!
[20:08] ---
    Reading between
    thirty and fourty craft approaching!
[20:11] ---
    They're just under fifty seconds
    from the ship's coordinates.
[20:13] ---
    Can you sink them?
[20:15] ---
    Acknowledged.
[20:24] ---
    They haven't fired a
    single shot. You don't mean...
[20:27] ---
    All hands, defensive positions!
[20:31] ---
    What's happening?
[20:32] ---
    They're fire ships!
[20:33] ---
    It's an unmanned fleet,
    designed to self-destruct!
[20:40] ---
    Giant structure at
    a depth of forty meters!
[20:42] ---
    Probably a submarine!
[20:48] ---
    Confirmed hit on the submarine!
[20:50] ---
    Enemy forces on Ship number 29!
[20:52] ---
    It's the Amakusa!
[20:53] ---
    It couldn't be!
    The submarine was a decoy?!
[20:56] ---
    Don't think about taking over each ship!
[20:58] ---
    All you have to do is think
    about crushing their main force!
[21:01] ---
    You guys head toward
    the Queen of the Adriatic Sea.
[21:04] ---
    Yeah!
[21:08] ---
    Hurry!
[21:10] ---
    Index!
[21:27] ---
    This way!
[21:28] ---
    All right!
[21:30] ---
    You idiots!
[21:31] ---
    Why aren't you helping
    to rescue Sister Agnese?!
[21:40] ---
    They're starting to shoot!
[21:41] ---
    They are planning to
    sink us along with the ship!
[21:44] ---
    They're aiming directly at us!
[21:46] ---
    They wouldn't!
[21:47] ---
    Come forth, one of the 12 Apostles,
[21:49] ---
    publican, smiter of magicians,
    and humble servant!
[22:00] ---
    Not good!
[22:06] ---
    Come forth, one of the 12 Apostles--
[22:10] ---
    Look out!
[22:18] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[22:19] ---
    Sister Angelene!

[00:51] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[00:56] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:00] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:06] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:11] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[01:22] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:27] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:32] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:38] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[01:45] ---
    No buts!
[02:01] ---
    Come forth,
    one of the 12 Apostles--
[02:06] ---
    Look out!
[02:13] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[02:15] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[02:19] ---
    Sheesh...
[02:20] ---
    Don't go showing the depths
    of your heart to be so worthless!
[02:25] ---
    Here, use this.
[02:28] ---
    What is it?
[02:29] ---
    It's a getaway dive boat.
[02:31] ---
    It beats being right in the
    middle of enemy territory, right?
[02:37] ---
    Sister Lucia...
    your hand is trembling...
[02:41] ---
    Well of course it is.
[02:43] ---
    Oh, no... There's no way
    I'm going to die here...
[02:47] ---
    We're all going
    back together, right...?
[02:50] ---
    With Sister Agnese... and
    the people over there fighting...
[02:56] ---
    We're all together,
    in the true sense...
[02:59] ---
    And so, I will not die...
[03:02] ---
    So please...
[03:04] ---
    ...will you fight together with
    them, to protect everyone...?
[03:17] ---
    Say something to her, Lucia.
[03:19] ---
    If I can be of help,
[03:21] ---
    I'll smash any number of these
    damned two-bit illusions for you.
[03:25] ---
    So go ahead and tell
    her whatever will assure her
[03:28] ---
    that she ought
    to have been here!
[03:31] ---
    Whatever will make her believe
    that it was worth gritting her teeth!
[03:36] ---
    Right.
[03:37] ---
    I swear,
    I will protect the others.
[03:40] ---
    So please,
    you fight with yourself.

    #16 Rosary of the Appointed Time
[04:01] ---
    They still haven't sunk them yet?
[04:03] ---
    For Heaven's sake,
    we can reduce a whole city to rubble,
[04:06] ---
    and they're giving
    us this much trouble?
[04:10] ---
    Hmph, that face...
[04:13] ---
    I can't take it. After everything
    that's happened,
[04:16] ---
    you still have the impudent look
    of one who is expecting another.
[04:19] ---
    What did you
    say I was relying on?!
[04:21] ---
    Ha. I'm about
    to shatter your hopes.
[04:26] ---
    There's no need for
    spare parts to have feelings.
[04:31] ---
    Go!
[04:32] ---
    No matter what happens,
    bring that girl back here!
[04:36] ---
    Let's go, Index and Orsola!
[04:46] ---
    There does not seem
    to be anyone here.
[04:48] ---
    This ship is probably the
    magical centralized control
[04:52] ---
    for all of the other ships.
[04:53] ---
    Is that why the other
    Sisters aren't pursuing us?
[04:56] ---
    Hold on a minute.
    I'm going to try to unlock it.
[05:01] ---
    I'm starting to feel like thinking
    about everything is becoming a pain!
[05:08] ---
    What is this?
[05:10] ---
    It's constructed in blocks.
    Maybe, unlike the escort craft,
[05:13] ---
    it's possible that the whole
    ship has magical significance.
[05:19] ---
    Those suits of
    armor from before.
[05:21] ---
    Damn!
[05:22] ---
    Inside!
[05:22] ---
    Huh? H-Hey, hold on!
[05:31] ---
    You two go on ahead!
[05:34] ---
    Toma!
[05:40] ---
    Sister Angelene, are you okay?
[05:43] ---
    Yes, I am all right.
[05:46] ---
    Now, how do I get past them?
[05:50] ---
    Sheesh!
[05:51] ---
    How petty!
[05:54] ---
    Don't go messing
    around with the wounded.
[05:57] ---
    Damn, a dead end?!
[06:09] ---
    What is this place?
[06:13] ---
    Whoa, here they come again!
[06:23] ---
    Is that all of them?
[06:28] ---
    I have gotten through!
[06:30] ---
    Orsola?
[06:31] ---
    Toma, is it true that
    one of the conditions
[06:33] ---
    to activate the Queen of the
    Adriatic Sea is that another spell,
[06:36] ---
    called the Rosary of the
    Appointed Time, is required?
[06:38] ---
    That's what they said.
[06:40] ---
    There isn't a single description in
    any of my 103,000 volumes
[06:43] ---
    that says it's necessary.
[06:45] ---
    Then, just what
    kind of spell is it?
[06:48] ---
    I think it's the
    name of an operation
[06:50] ---
    used only within the
    Roman Orthodox Church.
[07:05] ---
    That right hand of yours...
[07:10] ---
    Ha, are you jealous of it?
[07:12] ---
    It is unacceptable.
[07:15] ---
    It rejects the Lord's blessings.
[07:17] ---
    And even more than its nature,
    the way you brandish it like a weapon
[07:22] ---
    is beyond the pale.
[07:24] ---
    If you have even
    once heard the good word,
[07:28] ---
    you would make the
    effort to receive His blessings,
[07:30] ---
    even if it meant tearing off
    that arm forthwith,
[07:34] ---
    but then, I guess my words will
    not get through to a heathen monkey.
[07:39] ---
    In which case, I, Biagio Buzoni,
[07:41] ---
    will bring the final word
    to this enemy of the Lord.
[07:45] ---
    You're Biagio, are you? Then you
    know where Agnese is, don't you?
[07:49] ---
    Knowing and telling you are
    two completely different things.
[07:55] ---
    The cross demonstrates
    the denial of the evil nature.
[08:08] ---
    Oof...
[08:09] ---
    Abolishing outward enemies, and
    creating an inner safe zone,
[08:14] ---
    is the purpose
    held by the cross.
[08:16] ---
    Kind of like this.
[08:22] ---
    On the other hand,
    it is the nature of the cross,
[08:24] ---
    via the weight thereof,
    that corrects one's haughtiness.
[08:28] ---
    Once again, kind of like this.
[08:38] ---
    What is this place?
[08:40] ---
    Hey, now, stop
    destroying things so much.
[08:43] ---
    It affects the degree of
    completion on the other end.
[08:47] ---
    The other end?
[08:48] ---
    The Rosary of
    the Appointed Time.
[08:50] ---
    At this point, you can't tell
    me you don't know about it.
[08:54] ---
    In any case, once I crush you
[08:56] ---
    and pull Agnese
    out of here, it's all over.
[08:59] ---
    Demonstrating the will to
    defy the intentions of the Lord
[09:02] ---
    are words of evil. And my
    crosses deny your evil nature!
[09:11] ---
    Damn it all!
[09:12] ---
    Do you really think
    you have the authority
[09:16] ---
    to do anything to Venice?
[09:17] ---
    That is not what I am after.
[09:20] ---
    What was that?
[09:21] ---
    It is far more interesting than
    whatever you are thinking, at least.
[09:27] ---
    To the church of the cross, what do
    you think is the most important,
[09:30] ---
    oldest application there is?
[09:33] ---
    Huh?
[09:35] ---
    The instrument of execution.
[09:38] ---
    Simon bears the
    cross of the Son of God.
[09:43] ---
    What the...?
[09:45] ---
    The cross demonstrates
    the denial of the evil nature.
[10:00] ---
    What is this?
[10:02] ---
    There is a defensive
    spell set up here.
[10:11] ---
    CAH.
[10:14] ---
    You go find Agnese.
[10:16] ---
    I'll lead them away from here!
[10:18] ---
    Miss Index!
[10:33] ---
    Orsola Aquinas?
[10:35] ---
    Thank goodness you are all right.
[10:37] ---
    But why?!
[10:38] ---
    You wanted so badly to get away
    from the Queen's Fleet, didn't you?!
[10:42] ---
    You know all about what the
    current situation is, don't you?!
[10:47] ---
    Once we did find out, no one
    said that they wanted to run away.
[10:52] ---
    They refused
    to leave you behind,
[10:53] ---
    when you held your tongue to
    allow them to be rescued.
[10:58] ---
    It's not right.
[10:59] ---
    You remember what I did concerning
    the Book of the Law, right?
[11:03] ---
    As badly as they were hurt, how can
    it all be water under the bridge?!
[11:07] ---
    I do not have the answer to that.
[11:10] ---
    However, at the very least,
[11:12] ---
    Sisters Lucia and Angelene
    declared that they wanted to rescue you.
[11:17] ---
    No matter how desperate
    a situation they would face,
[11:21] ---
    or the countless blades
    that would be thrust their way,
[11:24] ---
    when they said that they wanted
    to all smile together once again,
[11:29] ---
    do you still think it is not enough?
[11:34] ---
    We cannot have this, Sister Agnese.
[11:38] ---
    Even if you were to die here,
    the project will not be interrupted.
[11:42] ---
    However, finding another suitable
    candidate would be such a nuisance.
[11:48] ---
    And I do so hate nuisances.
[11:49] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:55] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:58] ---
    That blood...
[12:00] ---
    I did say I hated nuisances, didn't I?
[12:02] ---
    So I crushed one
    of them with all haste.
[12:07] ---
    I hope we can avoid that here.
[12:10] ---
    We cannot have you
    being injured so easily, you see.
[12:14] ---
    This large-scale
    anti-Venetian spell of yours--
[12:17] ---
    why make use of it now?
[12:19] ---
    What we are about to perform here
[12:21] ---
    is not the use of an attack
    spell against a state.
[12:25] ---
    It is what comes next.
[12:28] ---
    The Queen of the
    Adriatic Sea is a spell
[12:30] ---
    created solely
    for use against Venice.
[12:33] ---
    However charming the
    power it may boast, it is moot,
[12:36] ---
    so as long as the targeting
    restrictions are in place.
[12:40] ---
    Then why--
[12:42] ---
    Yes, you've figured it out.
[12:45] ---
    Freeing the Queen of the
    Adriatic Sea's targeting restrictions--
[12:49] ---
    That is what the Rosary
    of the Appointed Time is for.
[12:52] ---
    Are you telling me
[12:54] ---
    that you are going to destroy
    a city that you feel is in your way?
[12:58] ---
    The Queen of the
    Adriatic Sea will destroy
[13:01] ---
    everything that involves that city!
[13:04] ---
    If we unleashed the same thing
    against a city that controls
[13:08] ---
    a whole world that is hostile to us,
    what do you think will happen?
[13:11] ---
    You don't mean Academy City!
[13:14] ---
    All science and technology
    are influenced by Academy City.
[13:19] ---
    If all of that were destroyed,
    then damnable though it might be,
[13:24] ---
    we could root out the
    side that encompasses
[13:27] ---
    half of the world, overnight.
[13:31] ---
    And you think that will bring
    happiness to everyone?
[13:34] ---
    I do not! There are those who
    do harm on the magical side, as well.
[13:39] ---
    However, they may continue.
    In time, the impure will be purged.
[13:43] ---
    You are saying...!
[13:44] ---
    Such is the earnest wish
    of the Roman Orthodox Church.
[13:49] ---
    The cross demonstrates
    the denial of the evil nature!
[13:57] ---
    Ha-ha, give it up, Sister Orsola.
[14:00] ---
    The cross, via the weight thereof,
    corrects one's haughtiness!
[14:08] ---
    Now then, it is a little early,
    but let's begin, Sister Agnese.
[14:13] ---
    Rejoice! You will receive the honor
[14:15] ---
    of killing the greatest number of enemies
[14:17] ---
    in the history of the church of the cross!
[14:22] ---
    Among these... enemies that you speak of,
[14:26] ---
    Sister Agnese is included, is she not?
[14:29] ---
    You truly are a member of the
    English Puritan Church now, huh?
[14:33] ---
    That's why you are panicking.
[14:35] ---
    You really do only act according
    to your skepticism, don't you?
[14:40] ---
    You cannot understand
    people acting on their feelings.
[14:44] ---
    No--you can understand it,
    but you cannot believe it.
[14:47] ---
    Please, stand aside.
[14:49] ---
    Whatever you do, you cannot stop Biagio.
[14:53] ---
    As long as you do not resist,
    I'm sure you will make it through alive.
[14:56] ---
    There is no way I could do that, you know!
[14:59] ---
    It's over, Sister Orsola.
[15:02] ---
    Smile, Sister Agnese.
    Watch on as your dream is shattered.
[15:15] ---
    What are you trying to pull?
[15:17] ---
    All things in harmony.
    Fifth of the Five Elements,
[15:20] ---
    symbolizing peace
    and order, deploy this crosier!
[15:25] ---
    Sister Agnese! I asked
    you what you're trying to pull!
[15:30] ---
    Ha! It's just as you suspected!
[15:33] ---
    If you believe that
    I still think I'd like to look after
[15:36] ---
    Sister Lucia and Sister Angelene,
    then you're mistaken.
[15:42] ---
    When I think about you
    sending those Sisters off to fight
[15:45] ---
    with your grimy orders,
    it enrages me!
[15:51] ---
    Don't you mouth
    off to me, you sinner!
[15:55] ---
    Simon bears the
    cross of the Son of God!
[16:12] ---
    As I recall, the Son of God...
[16:14] ---
    ...did not have enough physical
    strength left to bear the cross.
[16:17] ---
    Instead, Simon carried his cross
    to the hill where he was crucified.
[16:22] ---
    Am I wrong?
[16:24] ---
    You noticed that?
[16:25] ---
    Making someone else shoulder
    the weight of the equipment...
[16:29] ---
    That's what this attack really is!
[16:32] ---
    Most likely, you collected
    the weight of the equipment
[16:34] ---
    of everyone working here,
    and turned it into an attack.
[16:39] ---
    Is that about the size of it?
[16:42] ---
    Your hands are so weak.
[16:44] ---
    If you're going to go against me,
    you'll need more sturdy arms.
[16:48] ---
    Is that right?
[16:51] ---
    Then, will my right hand do?
[16:55] ---
    Why, you... You heathen monkey!
[17:00] ---
    At least check the body, you idiot.
[17:03] ---
    My right hand is not as
    feeble as you seem to think!
[17:11] ---
    Too slow!
[17:15] ---
    I won't fall for that again!
[17:27] ---
    Agnese...
[17:28] ---
    Y-Yes?
[17:31] ---
    Thanks.
[17:33] ---
    If you hadn't protected Orsola for me,
[17:35] ---
    I'm sure something terrible
    would have happened.
[17:39] ---
    Aw, geez...
[17:43] ---
    So...
[17:45] ---
    ...what do I have to do to destroy
    the whole Queen of the Adriatic Sea?
[17:49] ---
    Well, he said that this room,
    at least, was irreplaceable.
[17:53] ---
    If you completely demolish
    the function of this place,
[17:55] ---
    they can never again--
[17:58] ---
    Agnese!
[18:05] ---
    Agnese! What's the matter?!
[18:11] ---
    The Rosary of the Appointed Time!
[18:13] ---
    You mean, this is it?!
[18:14] ---
    You are doing something
    to Agnese through that charm!
[18:19] ---
    No, I can't. Not until
    it has been adjusted.
[18:23] ---
    But as far as power goes,
    I already have it right here.
[18:27] ---
    The Roman Orthodox Church
    feared that someone would steal this
[18:30] ---
    and turn it back against them,
    so they took all sorts of measures.
[18:36] ---
    And so, what do you think
    they prepared as a final measure,
[18:40] ---
    in case it were to fall into enemy hands?
[18:43] ---
    A self-destruct?!
[18:57] ---
    This is a large-scale magical device,
[19:01] ---
    supplied hermetically
    by the sinners among the fleet.
[19:06] ---
    Don't go thinking you can stop
    it by breaking the walls or the floor.
[19:11] ---
    Once the spell is activated,
    the explosive force alone
[19:13] ---
    will devastate anything
    within a 10-kilometer radius!
[19:15] ---
    If that happens, there will
    be casualties beyond the lagoon!
[19:19] ---
    Agnese!
[19:23] ---
    Orsola, take Agnese and go on without me.
[19:26] ---
    Take the Amakusa group
    and withdraw from here.
[19:28] ---
    But what about you?
[19:30] ---
    I've got to stop him, right?
[19:32] ---
    I'll be sure to join up with
    you later. So get going, Orsola!
[19:36] ---
    But...!
[19:42] ---
    You make sure.
[19:43] ---
    You make absolutely sure!
[19:49] ---
    Those bastards...
[19:51] ---
    A noble cause that will go down
    in Roman Orthodox history, they said.
[19:55] ---
    I told them, it was too soon for this.
[20:00] ---
    I'm done for now.
[20:02] ---
    Is that why you're dragging
    everyone else down with you?
[20:05] ---
    Ultimately, you're just
    seeking solace, aren't you?
[20:08] ---
    Nobody gets into things this deep
    and doesn't feel a sense of doom.
[20:12] ---
    This is the menace of
    the Roman Orthodox Church.
[20:15] ---
    Anyone would go along with my decision.
[20:19] ---
    This is just the final icing on the cake.
[20:22] ---
    To this end, they can have the Adriatic Sea.
[20:26] ---
    Biagio...!
[20:27] ---
    That's the face! It's that
    tenacity that is our menace!
[20:31] ---
    Which is why I must be
    sure to stamp it out right here!
[20:35] ---
    Such is the final attack that
    I offer the Roman Orthodox Church!
[20:40] ---
    Biagio!
[20:43] ---
    The cross demonstrates
    the denial of the evil nature!
[20:49] ---
    The cross, via the weight thereof,
    corrects one's haughtiness!
[20:55] ---
    The cross demonstrates
    the denial of the evil nature!
[21:02] ---
    Is Sister Agnese by herself
    really that meaningful a reward to you?
[21:07] ---
    There is no longer any place
    around that will welcome her.
[21:11] ---
    Why can't you understand that,
    you heathen monkey?!
[21:16] ---
    Like I could understand that!
[21:18] ---
    You dirty bastard!
[21:19] ---
    The cross demonstrates
    the denial of the evil nature!
[21:22] ---
    Biagio!
[21:26] ---
    Your left hand?!
[21:29] ---
    You're using my attack against me!
[21:39] ---
    I'll fight you.
[21:42] ---
    If you come after
    Agnese and the others again,
[21:46] ---
    then I'll stand against you,
    again and again.
[22:21] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[22:22] ---
    Huh?
[22:23] ---
    Are you coming around?
    The Adriatic Sea isn't that cold, huh?
[22:29] ---
    What are you so happy about?
[22:32] ---
    Don't tell me it's because I didn't
    leave you behind this time.
[22:36] ---
    I-I'm not in that great a mood!
[22:40] ---
    Toma, you have a phone call.
[22:43] ---
    Hey there, come back
    to Academy City at once.
[22:47] ---
    Huh?
[22:48] ---
    Having an outside hospital
    checking over that body of yours
[22:50] ---
    may not be a good idea, you know.
[22:52] ---
    There should be an Academy City-built
[22:54] ---
    supersonic passenger
    plane at the airport there.
[22:57] ---
    I-I haven't even been
    in Italy for a whole day yet--
[22:59] ---
    Oh, yes...
[23:00] ---
    I have a message from
    a girl who asked to see you
[23:03] ---
    that she wanted
    very much for me to pass on.
[23:06] ---
    She said "Make sure
    you're ready for the penalty game
[23:08] ---
    from the Daihasei
    Festival when you get back."
[23:11] ---
    Misaka Mikoto?!
[23:13] ---
    Hey, let me go!
    I don't want to go back!
[23:17] ---
    I see. Good work.
[23:20] ---
    Yeah, you know, if you
    wanted a debriefing report,
[23:23] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[23:23] ---
    you should ask the Amakusa.
[23:25] ---
    I'm not a member of the Amakusa anymore.
[23:25] ---
    I whispered that it was okay to be alone
    
[23:29] ---
    Be that as it may, you once again
    caused Kami a lot of trouble, yeah?
[23:29] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
    
[23:31] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
    
[23:34] ---
    You're at the point now
    where even a whole day
[23:36] ---
    waiting on him in a maid outfit
    still wouldn't cover it.
[23:39] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
    
[23:39] ---
    I know! I could lend you the fallen
    angel maid set that I have!
[23:43] ---
    You could go all-out in that!
[23:44] ---
    that that's how it should be
    
[23:45] ---
    H-How far are you going
    to carry this nonsense?!
[23:47] ---
    And do you really own something like that?!
[23:48] ---
    The miracle of you being there as the seasons roll around
    
[23:50] ---
    Huh? Even as someone who is one of
    less than twenty saints in the world,
[23:52] ---
    makes even the broken clock start up again
[23:55] ---
    you still have to be
    ready to meet your fate--
[23:58] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may be
    a helpless piece of junk
[24:04] ---
    but it's funny how I feel
    like I can change that
[24:09] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[24:14] ---
    ...and that's that, Toma.
[24:15] ---
    for me, even now
[24:21] ---
    I-I am home now.
[24:24] ---
    Uh-huh...
[24:25] ---
    As it happens, I picked up some
    extra baggage along the way.
[24:37] ---
    I must say,
    that was a little too hasty.
[24:41] ---
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[24:44] ---
    And you--are you aware of
    with whom you are taking that tone?
[24:49] ---
    The Roman pope, right?
    So what if you are?
[24:53] ---
    If you direct any
    ill will at me, you will die!
[24:57] ---
    The Right Seat of God...
    Not even a pope rattles you, huh?
[25:03] ---
    Look this over and sign it.
[25:05] ---
    Are you giving me an order?
[25:09] ---
    Wait, this document is...
[25:10] ---
    You were thinking of ordering
    it yourself, in time, right?
[25:25] ---
    "Preview"
[25:26] ---
    Academy City calmly enters autumn.
[25:28] ---
    But one promise tears through
    the otherwise peaceful days.
[25:31] ---
    Just what is about to happen?
[25:34] ---
    Next time, "Penalty Game."
[25:35] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

[00:44] ---
    It's a penalty game,
    so you have to do whatever I say...
[00:48] ---
    Ngah! This is bugging me!
[00:51] ---
    She has been like this day and
    night since the Daihasei Festival!
[00:54] ---
    Sissy, just who
    is it you are talking to
[00:57] ---
    in such a sweet, enticing voice?
[01:01] ---
    What should I have you do first...?
[01:05] ---
    A-A cheek rub?
    Sissy, who is... who is...
[01:10] ---
    ...just who is that fluffy
    pillow standing in for?!
[01:17] ---
    I'm always running after you
[01:22] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:22] ---
    I'm always running after you
[01:23] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:23] ---
    You are my ideal
[01:27] ---
    You are me
[01:30] ---
    There was a bird that could
    not fly any farther than this
[01:35] ---
    It rebuked the blue skies
    on fine, flawless wings
[01:41] ---
    This place is not that bad
[01:43] ---
    That sky is not that high
[01:46] ---
    This place is not that good
[01:53] ---
    Afraid of the speed
    it would feel in its body
[01:58] ---
    Everybody has a chance,
[02:01] ---
    but they cannot go any farther
[02:04] ---
    The truth is they
    cannot take flight
[02:07] ---
    The truth is they
    want to take flight
[02:10] ---
    Right now, beyond the wish
    I want to make come true
[02:16] ---
    you shine
[02:17] ---
    In my eyes I picture you
[02:23] ---
    "Standing in the future,
    always strong,"
[02:26] ---
    and that "you" is me
[02:29] ---
    You are still blindingly bright
[02:35] ---
    but in the same spirit,
    I reach out my hand
[02:38] ---
    and the "I" who I am will
    someday grab hold to become
[02:42] ---
    the you that I will be

    #17 Penalty Game
[02:55] ---
    "Look! Look!
[02:56] ---
    While Misaka was in the hospital,
    everyone's clothes changed,"
[03:00] ---
    says Misaka Misaka--waah!
[03:03] ---
    Your clothes keep
    you too cool, dummy.
[03:06] ---
    For that matter, don't go
    crawling over the lap of someone
[03:08] ---
    who still isn't well,
    and just got discharged
[03:10] ---
    to look outside, you dirty little brat.
[03:11] ---
    "How mean! Misaka
    still isn't well, either, you know,"
[03:15] ---
    --says Misaka Misaka--
[03:15] ---
    Okay, okay, that's enough!
[03:18] ---
    You can finish your
    heartwarming squabble
[03:20] ---
    once we arrive at our
    new residence, if you please.
[03:22] ---
    So, where is this new residence?
[03:25] ---
    For the time being,
    it's with a friend of mine.
[03:29] ---
    You're dropping out of
    the school you're in now, right?
[03:32] ---
    I'm through with anything having
    to do with that Level 6 business.
[03:37] ---
    The person I'm setting you
    up with is not in the research field.
[03:40] ---
    I'm sure she's someone who
    will take your side.
[03:44] ---
    Hmph...
[03:45] ---
    So now there's one
    more of these idiots, huh?
[03:51] ---
    I want to meet someone...
[03:56] ---
    What did you do that for?!
[03:57] ---
    Oh, when you say it,
    Kami, it just sounds sarcastic.
[04:01] ---
    When you set off a request like that,
[04:03] ---
    all the weird girls in
    the area start popping up.
[04:07] ---
    Oh, yeah. Knowing you, Kami,
[04:10] ---
    we'll have everything
    from super-computer robot girls
[04:12] ---
    to hot spring fairy girls who
    end up doing heaven only knows what.
[04:16] ---
    That being said, take a look at this.
[04:19] ---
    "Stiff shoulder holder."
[04:20] ---
    Appearances to the contrary,
    my shoulders are terribly stiff.
[04:24] ---
    I'm absolutely sure this will help,
    but what do you think, Kami?
[04:28] ---
    Ha! That thing
    is obviously a scam!
[04:31] ---
    You'll call later to complain, and...
[04:32] ---
    That's why having a pretty
    girl rub my shoulders would be best.
[04:36] ---
    And I know exactly what you're gonna say!
[04:38] ---
    In that case, try coming up
    with anything better than a pretty girl
[04:41] ---
    to treat your stiff shoulders.
[04:42] ---
    How many times do I have to
    tell you, the "stiff shoulder holder"?!
[04:45] ---
    You know, I know just the right person.
[04:49] ---
    Someone who is always
    suffering from being tense,
[04:51] ---
    and yet is a sucker for
    these kinds of mail order products.
[04:55] ---
    What I'm saying is
    that world peace, you see...
[04:58] ---
    Mm-hmm...
[05:00] ---
    Fukiyose, are you here?!
[05:02] ---
    Huh?
[05:05] ---
    It's our life's wish!
    Let us massage you, Fukiyose?!
[05:17] ---
    Now then, everyone,
    next up is our chemistry class.
[05:23] ---
    My relaxed classroom has turned into
[05:26] ---
    a lawless battle arena for delinquents!
[05:29] ---
    It's for the sake of world peace.
[05:31] ---
    All right, starting today,
[05:33] ---
    you will all begin a little
    rehab therapy of your own.
[05:36] ---
    Is everyone okay with wearing
    Tokiwadai Middle School's
[05:39] ---
    winter uniform for your street clothes?
[05:40] ---
    "No problem," replies Misaka 10032.
[05:45] ---
    The four of you are the same size.
[05:47] ---
    "We are all identical; you
    need not even measure us,"
[05:50] ---
    replies Misaka 13577 swiftly.
[05:54] ---
    "There has been no time to
    allow for any difference in sizes,"
[05:57] ---
    adds Misaka 10039.
[06:01] ---
    "Mi..."
[06:03] ---
    "Misaka..."
[06:04] ---
    "Is something the matter,
    19090?" asks Misaka... Huh?
[06:11] ---
    "There is enough room for
    me to fit two fingers in here!"
[06:13] ---
    reports Misaka 10032 immediately.
[06:17] ---
    "But all of us Misakas are
    supposed to be the same,"
[06:19] ---
    says Misaka 13577,
    registering her dismay.
[06:24] ---
    "What about
    her bust, and elsewhere?"
[06:27] ---
    asks Misaka 10039,
    proposing a thorough physical.
[06:30] ---
    Now, individual differences
    will arise, due to diet and exercise.
[06:34] ---
    "In other words, without
    telling the other Misakas,
[06:37] ---
    have you been engaging
    in what is popularly called a diet?"
[06:40] ---
    says Misaka 10032,
    continuing the cross-examination.
[06:43] ---
    "Now that you mention it, I have seen 19090
[06:46] ---
    with her nose buried in a
    weekly women's magazine before,"
[06:49] ---
    Misaka 13577 suddenly remembers.
[06:53] ---
    "At that time, she obtained
    top-secret information
[06:56] ---
    that if one places a ring
    received from a boy one likes
[06:59] ---
    on the left ring finger,
    one is a winner,"
[07:02] ---
    says Misaka 10039, seizing
    the opportunity to spill the beans.
[07:06] ---
    Ring... Winner...
[07:08] ---
    M-Misaka was...
[07:11] ---
    If you all do the same
    thing that Miss 19090 here did,
[07:15] ---
    you can undergo the same
    change that she did, can't you?
[07:19] ---
    "M-Misaka will follow her crisis
    management functions and flee!"
[07:23] ---
    says Misaka--
[07:26] ---
    There, there, there you are!
[07:29] ---
    Hmm?
[07:31] ---
    This calls for, yeah, that.
[07:34] ---
    "Just my luck."
[07:36] ---
    What's the big idea, responding
    like that after seeing me?!
[07:39] ---
    So, did you need something
    from me, Zapper?
[07:42] ---
    Are you sure you can take that
    kind of attitude with me right now?
[07:46] ---
    Huh?
[07:47] ---
    The penalty game!
[07:49] ---
    Huh? Oh...
[07:52] ---
    You mean I'm still on the hook for that?
[07:54] ---
    Don't go thinking you
    can blow it off on your own!
[07:57] ---
    Anyhow, you still have
    to do anything I tell you.
[08:01] ---
    But then, I know that anything
    an average Joe like you can do
[08:04] ---
    won't amount to very much.
    Though as far as that goes,
[08:07] ---
    how about you still give me your best?
[08:12] ---
    Huh?
[08:14] ---
    All right.
[08:16] ---
    Very well! In that case,
    you may ask anything you wish of me!
[08:20] ---
    Huh?
[08:23] ---
    Milady, let me first provide
    a comfortable environment.
[08:26] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma, incompetent as I am,
[08:30] ---
    beg you to please
    forgive my shortcomings!
[08:33] ---
    Hey, you dummy! Stop blowing up
    my skirt as hard as you can!
[08:36] ---
    Sissy...?
[08:38] ---
    K-Kuroko!
[08:42] ---
    W-What a well-tempered
    hardball posture of servitude!
[08:46] ---
    This troglodyte is not to
    be underestimated. However...
[08:51] ---
    That role is supposed to be mine!
[08:53] ---
    Stop that, you idiots!
    What kind of ritual is this?!
[08:57] ---
    What am I, some kind of cult leader?!
[09:00] ---
    This is the woman who
    will be looking after you now.
[09:06] ---
    What the hell?
[09:07] ---
    Hey, now, you haven't forgotten
    my face already, have you?
[09:11] ---
    I don't mean you! What I meant was,
[09:13] ---
    this unexplainable little creature, here!
[09:16] ---
    W-What do you mean, unexplainable?!
[09:19] ---
    Despite how I might look, I am a teacher!
[09:22] ---
    Tch! So the research to
    control the effects of cell aging
[09:25] ---
    has already been perfected, has it?
[09:27] ---
    U-Um... It isn't like that.
[09:31] ---
    "You poor thing!
[09:32] ---
    Huh?
[09:33] ---
    I'm sure you've been
    through nothing but experiments,
[09:35] ---
    and haven't had
    any free time for yourself,"
[09:38] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, softly dabbing
    her eyes with a handkerchief.
[09:41] ---
    Please, listen to what I'm saying!
[09:44] ---
    Ha-ha! Wow, they've
    really got your number, huh?
[09:47] ---
    Geez, did you bring
    them here to get "my number"?!
[09:50] ---
    I'll show you up to my apartment right away.
[09:54] ---
    I'll just go bring the car around.
[09:58] ---
    Are you sure about this?
[09:59] ---
    Letting me crash at your place?
[10:02] ---
    "No problem." I've got
    an extra room, so it's no--
[10:05] ---
    I don't mean that.
[10:07] ---
    I mean sheltering me like
    this is like you're asking to take on
[10:10] ---
    the whole damn ugly
    Academy City underworld.
[10:14] ---
    Which is why I'm doing it.
[10:16] ---
    Have you forgotten my line of work?
[10:19] ---
    I don't think there are many
    folks who would openly come out
[10:21] ---
    and attack the residence
    of an Antiskill officer.
[10:26] ---
    Don't say I didn't
    warn you, after you're dead.
[10:28] ---
    It's all right.
[10:29] ---
    Your name could be written
    on one of those crowds' lists!
[10:34] ---
    And it's my job to revise those lists.
[10:39] ---
    If it's all the same, I'm glad.
[10:41] ---
    It looks like helping you
    will be a lot simpler than I'd heard.
[10:46] ---
    Do you really mean that?
[10:47] ---
    I mean, won't it?
    Say whatever you will,
[10:51] ---
    but you're trying to eliminate
    your landlady's risks.
[10:53] ---
    Which is to say, you're trying
    your hardest to protect us, right?
[11:03] ---
    Tch, this is why idiots like
    her are so hard to manage.

    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:17] ---
    He's late! What is he up to?!
[11:20] ---
    Seventh Mist at exactly 1:00!
[11:22] ---
    If you're even one second late,
    you know what will happen!
[11:26] ---
    Sheesh.
[11:29] ---
    He's making me
    look like an idiot, isn't he?
[11:32] ---
    Somen noodles again today.
[11:33] ---
    No way! Why are we
    having nothing but this lately?!
[11:38] ---
    What is this? Some sort of
    magic to regulate our insides,
[11:41] ---
    using the culture of cuisine?
[11:43] ---
    We just happen to have been
    given a lot of it as a present!
[11:45] ---
    Try putting yourself in my shoes,
[11:47] ---
    having to come up with
    original ideas day after day,
[11:49] ---
    like salad-style, pasta-style,
    and udon-noodle-style!
[11:58] ---
    Tsuchimikado Maika...
[12:00] ---
    I have to share
    this joy with somebody!
[12:03] ---
    Huh?
[12:03] ---
    Huh?
[12:04] ---
    These! These! Maids generally
    aren't allowed to stand out too much.
[12:09] ---
    But by fussing around
    with my sleeves and collar,
[12:12] ---
    I can secretly express my individuality.
[12:14] ---
    I am in a very good mood right now,
[12:17] ---
    so if you have anything on your mind,
    I'd be willing to hear about it.
[12:22] ---
    We'd like to learn some new
    ways to eat somen noodles!
[12:29] ---
    I thought the salaries of public servants
[12:31] ---
    were supposed to
    be getting trimmed back.
[12:33] ---
    This building also serves
[12:35] ---
    as a structural
    engineering field test site,
[12:37] ---
    so part of the rent is
    paid for by the university.
[12:40] ---
    Ah, I see.
[12:42] ---
    "Amazing! Amazing!
    There isn't a speck of dust,"
[12:44] ---
    says Misaka Misaka offering
    her praise while jumping on the sofa!
[12:48] ---
    You had to write
    another formal apology, huh?
[12:50] ---
    A-Ah-ha... Whatever do you mean?
[12:53] ---
    Huh?
[12:54] ---
    She has a habit of
    straightening up her room
[12:56] ---
    whenever she has
    a problem come up.
[12:59] ---
    She does it without
    thinking of the consequences,
[13:01] ---
    so she often loses
    her keys and whatnot.
[13:03] ---
    I-Is that any way to talk about someone
[13:06] ---
    who is looking for your
    next job together with you?
[13:09] ---
    Which means that the kitchen
    will be the same as always, right?
[13:12] ---
    Hey, now! Kikyo,
    you eat the food I cook
[13:14] ---
    as if it tastes
    good enough, don't you?
[13:16] ---
    As long as I don't know how it's made.
[13:18] ---
    "Wow! Why are there so many rice cookers?"
[13:22] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka, counting them all.
[13:24] ---
    A rice cooker is a miracle
    appliance that can do anything.
[13:28] ---
    He's not coming.
[13:31] ---
    Miss Misaka!
[13:33] ---
    Oh, Miss Uiharu.
[13:34] ---
    Um, I think Miss Shirai will be
    coming by to pick up some things.
[13:39] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm.
[13:40] ---
    Miss Shirai offloaded her
    Judgment workload onto me--
[13:44] ---
    I-I mean, she is awfully busy at work,
[13:48] ---
    so I've come in her place.
[13:49] ---
    Oh, you don't say.
[13:51] ---
    I guess that's Tokiwadai
    Middle School for you.
[13:54] ---
    It's amazing you can
    learn the violin in class, huh?
[13:57] ---
    You're overblowing things.
    Do you want to give it a try?
[14:00] ---
    That's it, support the instrument
    with your collarbone and jaw.
[14:04] ---
    Gently hold the
    neck with your left hand.
[14:07] ---
    Hold the bow so the strings
    are perpendicular, and then slowly...
[14:13] ---
    See? Simple, right?
[14:15] ---
    Miss Misaka,
    it's almost like I'm in a dream!
[14:21] ---
    What's the matter?
[14:24] ---
    U... i... ha... ru!!
[14:30] ---
    What are you wasting time around here for?
[14:34] ---
    Hey, sorry, sorry.
[14:36] ---
    Now, listen,
[14:37] ---
    I'm the one who won the contest
    with a penalty game at stake!
[14:41] ---
    So why should I have to be kept
    waiting here for over an hour?!
[14:45] ---
    W-Well, it's nothing too profound...
[14:49] ---
    H-Huh? I'm sure
    we agreed on 1:00, right?
[14:53] ---
    Were you here thirty minutes before that?
[14:55] ---
    Well then, I am sorry.
[14:57] ---
    I-It's not as though I started
    waiting exactly an hour ago...
[15:02] ---
    Misaka, did you...
[15:04] ---
    So... that is...
[15:07] ---
    Did you want to make me suffer
    through this penalty game that badly?
[15:10] ---
    Eh?
[15:10] ---
    You really are pretty insidious.
[15:16] ---
    Bulls-eye?
[15:18] ---
    Stop being so defiant!
    You're the one that lost back there!
[15:22] ---
    You're going to do whatever I say, right?!
[15:24] ---
    W-When you say "whatever,"
    within the bounds of possibility...
[15:27] ---
    You. Will. Do. It. Right?
[15:30] ---
    Come with me!
[15:31] ---
    Wait, where?!
[15:32] ---
    I'm telling you to
    shut up and come with me!
[15:34] ---
    That is the first penalty!
[15:35] ---
    You mean there's not just one?!
[15:40] ---
    "Handy Antenna Campaign"
[15:41] ---
    Handy Antenna service?
[15:44] ---
    Ah, something to replace the
    antenna base on your cell phone.
[15:49] ---
    Yes. Subscribers can construct
    their own network with them.
[15:52] ---
    Also, if you sign a pair contract,
    the calling rate becomes cheaper.
[15:57] ---
    Pair contract?
[15:58] ---
    And, right now, everyone
    who agrees to a set contract
[16:01] ---
    will receive a
    Lovely Mitten Gekota strap!
[16:04] ---
    Eh?
[16:05] ---
    Which is why you're signing up with me.
[16:09] ---
    So you're just after the strap, then?
[16:11] ---
    And as far as frogs go, you've already got--
[16:13] ---
    You're. Signing. Up. With. Me.
[16:17] ---
    Yeah, but, pair contracts
    are what boyfriends and girlfriends
[16:21] ---
    sign up for together, aren't they?
[16:22] ---
    Y-You dummy!
    What conclusion are you jumping to?!
[16:26] ---
    It says it's limited to male-female,
[16:27] ---
    but i-it doesn't have to
    be boyfriend-girlfriend, right?!
[16:30] ---
    Like, say, a married
    couple would be fine, too.
[16:33] ---
    Hello in there.
[16:34] ---
    You've gotten far more serious
    than boyfriend-girlfriend, Miss Misaka.
[16:36] ---
    Huh? I-It's a penalty game, so don't
    say anything and come with me!
[16:44] ---
    Now, we'll need a photo
    to complete the paperwork.
[16:48] ---
    Like a picture ID?
[16:50] ---
    No, something that
    lets us know you two are a pair.
[16:53] ---
    You can even use your cell phone
    to take a two-shot of both of you.
[16:56] ---
    A two-shot?!
[16:59] ---
    How about it? Want to make do
    with my cell phone camera right off?
[17:03] ---
    Y-Yeah, okay...
[17:05] ---
    Okay, here it goes.
[17:08] ---
    Let me just make sure, here.
    You told me you wanted this, right?
[17:13] ---
    I-I know I did!
[17:19] ---
    Just you wait, Gekota!
[17:22] ---
    H-Here goes.
[17:24] ---
    Okay! Whenever you're ready!
[17:28] ---
    It looks like you're pulling a face, Misaka.
[17:31] ---
    Why are you looking the other way?
[17:33] ---
    I don't think this
    is what a pair looks like.
[17:35] ---
    L-Let's try taking it again.
[17:40] ---
    What's with the forced
    expression again, Misaka?!
[17:43] ---
    Why are you distancing yourself from me?!
[17:46] ---
    Look, for this two-shot,
[17:48] ---
    we just have to make
    it look like we're in love, right?
[17:50] ---
    Come on, do it like this!
[17:52] ---
    Smile, Misaka! This photo is
    for the paperwork, right?
[17:55] ---
    As long as we think of it in
    that way, this won't be a problem.
[17:58] ---
    Y-Yeah... Well, you're right.
[18:01] ---
    We're just taking a picture that
    makes it look that way, aren't we?
[18:04] ---
    Yeah, yeah, we're just taking a picture!
[18:05] ---
    Here goes!
[18:06] ---
    Yes!
[18:14] ---
    Good grief. It was a mistake for
    me to underestimate him
[18:17] ---
    as just a Johnny-come-lately thrall of yours.
[18:20] ---
    Sissy, you've been going around
    everywhere splurging with him.
[18:23] ---
    D-Don't go getting the wrong idea!
[18:26] ---
    I just wanted to get a Gekota strap...
[18:29] ---
    ...so I needed a photo for a pair contract...
[18:33] ---
    In that case, you need not
    have lowered yourself to this boy;
[18:35] ---
    if you and I had become a pair,
    there would not be any problem!
[18:40] ---
    Now, let us take some pictures.
    We will just slam them through.
[18:40] ---
    Wait... Hey! Kuroko!
[18:43] ---
    We will make memories to last a lifetime!
[18:45] ---
    Hey, where are you taking me, Kuroko?!
[18:48] ---
    If everything's okay,
    then can I go home now?
[18:52] ---
    I told you,
    it has to be male-female!
[18:56] ---
    Hitotsui Hajime, you are
    primarily busy with your concerts,
[19:00] ---
    but recently, you announced
    you would be appearing in a movie.
[19:04] ---
    Moreover, it's a Hollywood
    picture, of all things.
[19:04] ---
    I fell asleep, huh?
[19:07] ---
    Did you have anything
    especially trying happen to you?
[19:08] ---
    Tch, you're letting yourself
    become sloppy, you idiot.
[19:11] ---
    Even with this thing on, it's all
    you can do to fight for fifteen minutes.
[19:16] ---
    "Hitotsui Hajime to star in his
    first Hollywood production!!"
[19:17] ---
    The direction I got was just
    right for me, being Japanese.
[19:20] ---
    Did he not have any pretense?
[19:23] ---
    As for the others, did they show
    a particularly suitable understanding
[19:27] ---
    of me as being a
    contemporary Japanese man?
[19:30] ---
    The words themselves
    are spoken in native US English,
[19:34] ---
    so using just gestures,
    manners, and attitude,
[19:36] ---
    Nobody's here, huh?
[19:36] ---
    being told to show us that this
    guy is Japanese was something--
[19:38] ---
    Oh well, guess I'll grab a shower.
[19:43] ---
    Oh my.
[19:45] ---
    "W-Why are you just barging in
    here without any advance warning,"
[19:50] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka, reaching for
    a bath towel after it's too late!
[19:53] ---
    Why didn't you lock the door?
[19:55] ---
    Sorry, sorry. I've lived by
    myself up to now, and I just forgot.
[19:59] ---
    Aiho, hurry and
    wrap yourself up in this.
[20:01] ---
    "You two don't care that
    you've been seen naked, huh?"
[20:04] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    asking a simple question.
[20:07] ---
    Hmm, it's not really anything
    to make a fuss over, is it?
[20:10] ---
    He's a child, and we're adults.
[20:13] ---
    "I would say more like biddies
    than adults," says Misaka--
[20:17] ---
    Ow-w-w-w! Now they're suddenly
    both giving Misaka's head noogies!
[20:18] ---
    I'm just saying, be more wary.
[20:23] ---
    "And that's what happened,"
[20:25] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    giving an incident report.
[20:27] ---
    "In that case, it has already
    gone out over the network,
[20:31] ---
    so there is no reason to repeat
    it all again verbally, is there?"
[20:34] ---
    Misaka rationally points out.
[20:37] ---
    "I want to say it verbally
    as much as it takes,"
[20:39] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, finding
    the outrageousness inexcusable!
[20:42] ---
    "And now, being shut out
    due to the apartment's auto-lock
[20:45] ---
    makes your situation
    seem even foolish, huh?
[20:48] ---
    If Misaka hadn't been passing by,
[20:50] ---
    you would have been
    all alone for a long time,"
[20:52] ---
    says Misaka,
    secretly laughing on the inside.
[20:56] ---
    "It isn't Misaka's fault!
    It's the auto-lock's!"
[20:59] ---
    says Misaka Misaka in exasperation!
[21:03] ---
    Hmm?
[21:04] ---
    Hey, where did that little brat go?
[21:08] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[21:10] ---
    "You mean this?" asks Misaka,
    to verify the unexpected question.
[21:15] ---
    "All of the other Misakas have those,
[21:17] ---
    but Misaka is the only one who doesn't,"
[21:20] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, gazing enviously at it.
[21:22] ---
    "That Misaka is that Misaka,
    while this Misaka is this Misaka."
[21:27] ---
    says Misaka, intimating
    that you should give up.
[21:30] ---
    "Aww! Misaka wants one, too!"
[21:33] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    using her small appearance to its fullest,
[21:37] ---
    to exercise some
    spoiled-brat negotiation skills.
[21:39] ---
    "You may be going for endearing antics,
[21:43] ---
    but it's upsetting when used on
    those of the same sex, and backfires,"
[21:46] ---
    says Misaka, offering a kindly explanation.
[21:52] ---
    "Say, 10032, would you bow for me?"
[21:56] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, asking a favor.
[22:00] ---
    "You fell for it!"
[22:01] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    her mugging plan a success!
[22:05] ---
    "Nyah! If you want them
    back, try and take them!"
[22:07] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    basking in the afterglow of victory
[22:10] ---
    while making a mad dash!
[22:18] ---
    "The time for revolution has come,"
[22:21] ---
    Misaka 10032 hereby declares.
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone
[22:52] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around
[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again
[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk
[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that
[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    First Misaka Mikoto, now Misaka's Sister?!
[23:57] ---
    And now there's
    even a pint-sized Misaka.
[23:59] ---
    Hey, don't go running amok here!
[24:01] ---
    Wait, Index,
    if you're with them, then...
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "Serial Number."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

[03:13] ---
    Why would the archbishop
    buy us such a complicated,
[03:16] ---
    problematic device as this?
[03:20] ---
    For Pete's sake,
[03:21] ---
    you can just do your laundry
    down at the river, right?
[03:24] ---
    The river would be
    going too far.
[03:26] ---
    Mm-hmm, apparently, you are
    supposed to press this button.
[03:35] ---
    Are you sure you won't
    give in and wash by hand?
[03:37] ---
    Let's try to press on a little longer.
[03:40] ---
    Our dream fully-automated
    washing machine is right in front of us.
[03:43] ---
    Didn't you already
    finish today's wash this evening?
[03:47] ---
    That's right. Since
    we don't have any laundry...
[03:50] ---
    No...
[03:51] ---
    We have laundry right here.
[03:53] ---
    You don't need to take your
    clothes off to make more laundry!
[03:56] ---
    And don't you two copy her!
[03:58] ---
    I do have to say, a Japanese yukata
[04:01] ---
    seems put together to
    make it very easy to take off.
[04:08] ---
    H-Hey!
[04:10] ---
    Oh... Miss Kanzaki, you are
    one of those who forgoes underwear.
[04:15] ---
    This is the way
    you wear a yukata!
[04:21] ---
    It really is quiet.
[04:24] ---
    I only wanted to see one work.
[04:27] ---
    Hey, Far East denomination...
[04:29] ---
    I am a retired
    ninja now, but what is it?
[04:32] ---
    In the manual here,
[04:34] ---
    it says "please separate
    non-colorfast items."
[04:37] ---
    Is that dyed sash
    of yours gonna be all right?
[04:44] ---
    C-Cancel! Where
    is the cancel button?!
[04:58] ---
    You really are not
    wearing underwear, huh?
[05:04] ---
    Oh...! Gekota!
    Gekota! Gekota! Gekota!
[05:08] ---
    Ugh, good grief.
[05:15] ---
    Did you finish the paperwork?
[05:17] ---
    Wait, huh?
[05:19] ---
    Eh?! I can get a Pyonko
    together with my Gekota?!
[05:23] ---
    All right!!
[05:25] ---
    I guess that means...
    you're Misaka's sister?
[05:29] ---
    "Yes," affirms Misaka,
[05:32] ---
    including her serial number,
    10032, just in case.
[05:36] ---
    I didn't recognize you
    without your goggles on.
[05:40] ---
    "Have you seen a
    Misaka about this height?"
[05:42] ---
    asks Misaka, indicating a level
    slightly lower than her chest.
[05:47] ---
    Have you guys come up
    with a way to change your sizes?
[05:50] ---
    "Judging by your response,
    you apparently have not,"
[05:53] ---
    says Misaka, disappointed
    by your failure to be of any help.
[05:58] ---
    "Misaka had her
    goggles stolen from her.
[06:01] ---
    They must be recovered at once,"
[06:04] ---
    says Misaka, implicitly appealing
    for help through upturned eyes.
[06:08] ---
    N-Now, it's kind of
    hard for me to tell you apart.
[06:12] ---
    Maybe you could start by
    taking off your blazer, or something.
[06:15] ---
    Hey, what are you
    pulling your skirt down for?!
[06:18] ---
    Forget it, forget it!
    Don't take anything off!
[06:22] ---
    I know. If you wore some kind
    of accessory, I could tell you apart.
[06:26] ---
    Accessory?
[06:28] ---
    Like, say, a ring maybe.
[06:30] ---
    A ring?
[06:31] ---
    "At that time, she obtained
    top-secret information
[06:34] ---
    that if one places a ring
    received from a boy one likes
[06:36] ---
    on the left ring finger,
    one is a winner."
[06:39] ---
    Nah, a ring wouldn't work.
    It doesn't stand out enough.
[06:43] ---
    Something I can tell at a glance...
[06:47] ---
    "Right now, Misaka is playing
    tag with one of the lower-number units,"
[06:50] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    offering a status report.
[06:54] ---
    "I can't come home right now,
    but I hope you'll make me dinner,"
[06:57] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    placing her order.
[07:02] ---
    Why that dirty brat!
[07:07] ---
    Maybe I shouldn't have opened
    my home to all three of you.
[07:10] ---
    If only she had called my cell phone,
[07:12] ---
    I could have found out where she is.
[07:14] ---
    Hey, let go of me! Let me go!
[07:17] ---
    Whoa...!
[07:19] ---
    Well, Kikyo,
    it's your turn to stay here.
[07:23] ---
    We're going out to look for her, right?
[07:26] ---
    If I can analyze the
    sounds in the background,
[07:29] ---
    I can narrow her location down.
[07:31] ---
    Now, you just let
    Big Sister Yomikawa handle that.
[07:35] ---
    Isn't that abusing your authority?
[07:37] ---
    Finding lost children is part of my job!
[07:40] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[07:48] ---
    A ring...
[07:49] ---
    ...on Misaka's left ring finger...
[07:51] ---
    Listen, if you don't like that one,
    should we take it back?
[07:55] ---
    "Please, do not take anything
    else away from Misaka,"
[07:58] ---
    says Misaka in an
    earnest, lowered voice.
[08:05] ---
    "Animal Donuts"?
[08:08] ---
    Oh, these look yummy!
[08:09] ---
    Don't mind if I do!
[08:11] ---
    Tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet...
[08:13] ---
    "These chicks are smart, not to bite,"
[08:15] ---
    utters Misaka in a voice of wonder.
[08:22] ---
    They said there were still in
    the experimental prototype phase,
[08:25] ---
    but these are pretty good.
[08:27] ---
    They may be experimental...
[08:30] ---
    ...but Misaka respects
    the lives of these chicks...
[08:33] ---
    W-What are you sparking for?
[08:35] ---
    Hey, you guys, what are you doing?
[08:38] ---
    M-Misaka...
[08:40] ---
    "M-Misaka just came here
[08:43] ---
    to get back the goggles that
    were taken from me," says Misaka...
[08:50] ---
    "And there was more,
    but now, I am fixated on these frogs,"
[08:55] ---
    says Misaka, changing the subject.
[08:57] ---
    Hey, now!
[08:59] ---
    Explain yourself better!
    I mean, if you're down here...
[09:04] ---
    What are those? Let me see them!
[09:06] ---
    "Sissy, you can just
    stay engrossed in your frogs,"
[09:10] ---
    states Misaka with cold assertion.
[09:13] ---
    It won't hurt to look, will it?
[09:15] ---
    "If you want them so badly,
[09:16] ---
    you can have him buy them from
    that person over there, like Misaka did,"
[09:19] ---
    says Misaka, pointing out the right man.
[09:22] ---
    The right man?
[09:25] ---
    Remember how you lost our bet,
[09:28] ---
    and have to do whatever
    I say as part of our penalty game?
[09:34] ---
    Yet here we are, in the
    middle of our penalty game...
[09:37] ---
    and you're trying to
    make time with everyone else!
[09:39] ---
    You really like the sound of
    my sister that much?!
[09:43] ---
    "Incidentally, what
    are you doing here, Sissy?"
[09:46] ---
    asks Misaka, beginning to
    collect information.
[09:49] ---
    Well, we had a contest over
    the Daihasei Festival, you see.
[09:53] ---
    Anyhow, I won the bet,
[09:55] ---
    and as part of the penalty game,
    I get to drag him around, that's all.
[09:58] ---
    So, like, you see...
[10:00] ---
    "In other words, Sissy,
    you cannot be honest with him?"
[10:02] ---
    asks Misaka, analyzing the data.
[10:05] ---
    Huh?!
[10:06] ---
    W-What are you analyzing to figure that?!
[10:09] ---
    I don't have anything
    to hide! For one thing,
[10:11] ---
    what's the point of being
    honest with a guy like this?!
[10:15] ---
    You don't say.
[10:17] ---
    Well then, Misaka will take
    a different route than the Original.
[10:21] ---
    Huh?
[10:26] ---
    "Check this,"
[10:27] ---
    says Misaka, casually
    showing off to the Original
[10:29] ---
    the accessory that he bought for her.
[10:33] ---
    "Misaka also hugs him from the other side!"
[10:36] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    blending herself in with the amusement!
[10:40] ---
    "Misaka"? You mean, this sister's sister?!
[10:43] ---
    Serial number 20001.
[10:45] ---
    "You have some nerve,
    strolling up beside Misaka like this,"
[10:49] ---
    says Misaka, switching to
    serious mode before she realizes it.
[10:54] ---
    "Misaka is tired of playing that game now,"
[10:57] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, embarking
    on her next spot of entertainment.
[11:02] ---
    "Do you think you're
    getting away from me?"
[11:04] ---
    says Misaka, pulling a rifle out of her bag.
[11:07] ---
    "If that's what you
    call serious, it's laughable!"
[11:10] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, poking fun.
[11:12] ---
    "The real fun is just getting started,"
[11:14] ---
    says Misaka, making the
    final transition to Misaka Full Boost.
[11:19] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:21] ---
    What the...?
[11:25] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:28] ---
    The underground mall?
[11:30] ---
    We detected some low
    frequencies from the call we traced
[11:33] ---
    from the message
    on the answering machine.
[11:36] ---
    So, she's in Area U, which
    is to say, the underground mall.
[11:41] ---
    Then, you're telling me to go there?
[11:44] ---
    For now, yeah.
[11:47] ---
    Then again, there's no telling
    whether a girl as quick as she is
[11:50] ---
    will still be in the same place now.
[11:52] ---
    Listen, Accelerator...
[11:54] ---
    What?
[11:56] ---
    Are you that afraid to
    direct any good will toward others?
[11:59] ---
    What'd you say?
[12:00] ---
    You seem to accept the good
    will shown to you by Last Order,
[12:04] ---
    but you refuse to show any
    good will from yourself toward her.
[12:07] ---
    It's because you're afraid
    it will backfire on you,
[12:09] ---
    and there will be no undoing it.
[12:11] ---
    You're lecturing me?
[12:13] ---
    Well, I don't think someone like
    me could understand your gloom.
[12:17] ---
    Not considering
    the place you used to be in.
[12:22] ---
    X-S Institute, right?
[12:24] ---
    Exceptional Esper Multi-Modification
    Technical Research Institute.
[12:28] ---
    I was dumped in that place until I was 9.
[12:32] ---
    The place was a trash heap
    where they'd dispose of living people.
[12:36] ---
    You must have at
    least heard the stories, right?
[12:38] ---
    It was my squad that
    neutralized and dismantled them.
[12:42] ---
    Thanks for that.
[12:44] ---
    I saw it, too--what was lying on
    the other side of those heavy doors.
[12:49] ---
    And I was a monster that not
    even the X-S Institute could handle.
[12:54] ---
    You heard about
    it from Yoshikawa, right?
[12:56] ---
    About what I did
    in those "experiments"?
[12:59] ---
    It's impossible for
    me to express good will.
[13:02] ---
    Even so, you still hate
    yourself for that. Am I wrong?
[13:07] ---
    There's a little rule
    that I impose on myself.
[13:11] ---
    I will not turn a weapon on a child.
[13:14] ---
    Even if they are an esper.
    Do you know why?
[13:21] ---
    Yeah, that's why. Sure, maybe
    it doesn't compare to your situation.
[13:26] ---
    But it doesn't change the
    fact that we are both indebted.
[13:30] ---
    Which means that no matter
    how flat-footed it leaves us,
[13:32] ---
    we have to keep paying it back.
[13:34] ---
    Besides, unlike me, you have power.
[13:38] ---
    There are any number of
    ways you can do it.
[13:42] ---
    What if I had used my
    power to stop the experiments...?
[13:45] ---
    What if I could have held them back
[13:46] ---
    from pushing their way
    down a path to their deaths...?
[13:49] ---
    What if even now, it's not too late...?
[13:54] ---
    What if...?
[13:59] ---
    This is bullcrap.
[14:00] ---
    It's by socking away this bullcrap
    that we pay back our debts.
[14:09] ---
    Damn it all.
[14:21] ---
    This is what was in the report, is it?
[14:23] ---
    It's a well-made 3D image, huh?
[14:26] ---
    For heaven's sake,
    what a complicated bit of mischief.
[14:29] ---
    Let's contact headquarters
    and start checking out
[14:31] ---
    the espers who could do this.
[14:34] ---
    Geez...
[14:35] ---
    What was all that, exactly?
[14:37] ---
    That stupid jerk!
[14:41] ---
    What does he think
    the promise he made me is?!
[14:47] ---
    "1st place today" "1st place all-time"
[14:51] ---
    I don't get it. I don't get it, but...
[14:54] ---
    ...it's just my luck.
[14:56] ---
    "How come your shoulders are
    drooping like you're worn out?"
[14:59] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka...
[15:03] ---
    ...grabbing you from behind
    like a soothing mascot.
[15:07] ---
    Hey...!
[15:10] ---
    Are you that Mini-Misaka from earlier?
[15:22] ---
    Toma...
[15:24] ---
    Huh?
[15:25] ---
    What do we have here?
[15:31] ---
    So anyway, I'm out looking for Toma,
[15:33] ---
    but along the way, I got hungry, and then...
[15:36] ---
    You can eat, or you can talk; pick one.
[15:39] ---
    Now then, didn't you have
    something you wanted to tell me?
[15:45] ---
    Mm-hmm. Thanks.
[15:47] ---
    Just one word, huh?
[15:48] ---
    You know what? My name is Index.
[15:52] ---
    Don't introduce yourself
    when your face is dirty.
[16:02] ---
    Have you ever seen this kid?
[16:04] ---
    Nope.
[16:06] ---
    Take your time, would you?
[16:07] ---
    I never forget the faces of people I see.
[16:11] ---
    Ah, this is great!
[16:12] ---
    Now I can look for Toma
    without worrying about my stomach.
[16:16] ---
    Though now that my stomach is full,
[16:18] ---
    I don't think my reason
    for finding Toma is as pressing.
[16:21] ---
    Yeah, you don't say. I'm not
    helping you look. Ask someone else.
[16:25] ---
    Are you busy?
[16:27] ---
    Yeah, unfortunately, I'm very busy.
[16:32] ---
    So what you're saying is,
[16:34] ---
    you're like a host computer
    with all the Sisters tied into you?
[16:37] ---
    "Probably closer to a console than a host,"
[16:40] ---
    says Misaka Misaka by way of correction.
[16:43] ---
    "The Misakas have
    no central point anywhere,
[16:45] ---
    so it doesn't really mean anything
    for there to be a specific individual
[16:49] ---
    acting as the network's 'core,'"
[16:50] ---
    brags Misaka Misaka,
    head held high while lecturing!
[16:54] ---
    Huh...
[16:56] ---
    Huh?
[16:57] ---
    "Listen, you helped out
    Misaka during the 'experiments,'
[17:01] ---
    so I came to say thank you,"
[17:02] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, citing
    a Grateful Crane-like development!
[17:07] ---
    So, what is it you're really up to?
[17:10] ---
    "You don't believe me for an instant!"
[17:12] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, stamping her feet,
[17:16] ---
    and swinging her arms as hard as she can!
[17:18] ---
    Sorry! Sorry! My bad! Look...
[17:21] ---
    I'll buy you some of that
    if you'll forgive me! Okay?
[17:24] ---
    "D-Do you think you can
    sway a girl's delicate feelings
[17:27] ---
    by buying her food?"
[17:29] ---
    says Misaka Misaka indignantly.
[17:34] ---
    So anyway, Toma is always
    going off somewhere, leaving me behind.
[17:39] ---
    It could be a kind of wanderlust--
[17:41] ---
    like he's someone who goes
    off on a journey before he realizes it.
[17:46] ---
    By the way, what are you doing down here?
[17:49] ---
    Looking for someone.
[17:50] ---
    The girl on your cell phone?
[17:52] ---
    What if I am?
[17:53] ---
    You know, I still
    haven't thanked you, huh?
[17:55] ---
    It's okay, just be quiet and go away, kid.
[17:58] ---
    I still haven't thanked you, huh?
[18:00] ---
    Hey, don't just ignore what I'm saying!
[18:02] ---
    It's that one girl, right?
[18:05] ---
    I can help look for her
    together with you until I find Toma.
[18:08] ---
    Huh?
[18:10] ---
    'kay?
[18:12] ---
    Damn it all...
[18:18] ---
    You know what?
[18:21] ---
    "Misaka snatched these from someone,"
[18:23] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    bragging about her trophy.
[18:26] ---
    What's this? I'm just
    starting to feel relieved,
[18:29] ---
    and now you're
    declaring yourself to be a bandit?
[18:31] ---
    Wait, those goggles...
[18:33] ---
    Misaka's sister was looking for those.
[18:35] ---
    "But these weren't made to fit Misaka,
    so she can't wear them right,"
[18:42] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, a little ruefully.
[18:45] ---
    You know, you could just
    adjust the length of the band, right?
[18:54] ---
    Huh...?
[18:58] ---
    A-Are you okay?
[19:03] ---
    It seems like I've seen her before,
[19:05] ---
    but she's too small to have been her.
[19:08] ---
    Uh-uh, I don't recognize her, all right.
[19:11] ---
    Then give that back!
    You good-for-nothing little brat!
[19:17] ---
    There, all done.
[19:20] ---
    "Now Misaka can see perfectly, too!"
[19:22] ---
    says Misaka Misaka delightedly!
[19:25] ---
    "But what it cost me is
    by no means a small price,"
[19:28] ---
    remembers Misaka Misaka,
[19:30] ---
    while nonetheless demonstrating
    her joy throughout her whole body!
[19:34] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[19:37] ---
    "Listen, Misaka has
    to be going home soon,"
[19:41] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    delivering some bad news.
[19:45] ---
    Yeah, it is getting late, after all.
[19:50] ---
    "I really do wish we
    could stay together longer,"
[19:52] ---
    says Misaka Misaka... despondently.
[19:57] ---
    "Our meeting like this
    was just a coincidence,
[19:59] ---
    but the part about wanting
    to thank you was the truth,"
[20:02] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    pouring out her heart.
[20:06] ---
    But I think he's going to be worried.
[20:09] ---
    "He"?
[20:11] ---
    "If Misaka is too late,
    he may come looking for her.
[20:15] ---
    Misaka doesn't want
    to be a bother or anything,"
[20:18] ---
    says Misaka Misaka with a smile.
[20:21] ---
    Hmm, sounds like a nice guy, doesn't he?
[20:26] ---
    "He's weak. He's been hurt an awful lot,
[20:30] ---
    since not only could he
    not protect what he had in hand,
[20:33] ---
    but now the same hands that
    scooped them up are in shambles.
[20:37] ---
    So she doesn't want
    to burden him any further.
[20:40] ---
    Now Misaka is going to protect him!"
[20:43] ---
    says Misaka Misaka unburdening herself.
[20:46] ---
    Okay.
[20:53] ---
    Ah, it's Toma!
[20:56] ---
    The guy you're looking for?
[20:58] ---
    Mm-hmm!
[21:03] ---
    Tch... Go ahead.
[21:05] ---
    Huh? But what about your friend?
[21:08] ---
    Don't worry. I just found mine, too.
[21:12] ---
    Okay then, I'll be going. Thanks.
[21:18] ---
    Last Order!
[21:26] ---
    Toma!
[21:30] ---
    "I'm back!"
[21:31] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    offering the standard greeting--
[21:34] ---
    Ow!
[21:35] ---
    "Hey, why do you keep chopping
    me without saying anything?"
[21:38] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    holding her head and faking crying.
[21:42] ---
    For that matter, what
    have you been doing up to now?
[21:47] ---
    "Playing with someone,"
[21:48] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, answering honestly.
[21:52] ---
    Huh?!
[21:53] ---
    Toma! Toma! I finally found you!
[21:57] ---
    What are you doing down here?
[21:59] ---
    You know what? You know what?
    I had that man help me out of a jam.
[22:05] ---
    Wait, which man?
[22:08] ---
    Accelerator!
[22:10] ---
    Come quick, or you'll be left behind!
[22:13] ---
    Tch, pipe down, you dirty brat.

    "Precautions for when angels
    descend into human form.
[00:35] ---
    The greatest incident of
    telesma habitation in this world
[00:38] ---
    was, needless to say,
    at the time of the Annunciation.
[00:42] ---
    To pass the total volume
    of the Son of God, which is to say,
[00:45] ---
    enough telesma to support
    and guide the world, into the womb,
[00:49] ---
    took an unmistakably--"
[00:50] ---
    Sasha!
[00:53] ---
    Oh, are you reading
    these musty old books again?
[00:56] ---
    Have you still not identified
    what went wrong with your body?
[01:00] ---
    If not, I could give
    you a physical exam--
[01:05] ---
    Sasha, I see you still
    don't know your own strength, huh?
[01:09] ---
    Question one, if I may:
[01:11] ---
    Which do you prefer,
    hammers or screwdrivers?
[01:15] ---
    That's not the kind of question you
    ask after hitting someone.
[01:20] ---
    Sasha, the telesma dwelling
    within you is that of Gabriel, right?
[01:24] ---
    Normally, that would be unthinkable.
[01:27] ---
    If things go wrong, the amount
    could be greater than the 12 Apostles'.
[01:32] ---
    Question two: So what if it is?
[01:35] ---
    This power of God comes from
    the angel who saw to the Annunciation.
[01:40] ---
    Moreover, having a power
    greater than that of the 12 Apostles
[01:43] ---
    squeezed into the body of one girl means...
[01:46] ---
    There's a chance
    that your tummy will swell up--
[01:49] ---
    Sorry, sorry. You're right.
[01:52] ---
    Wearing such heavy, restrictive
    clothing on a regular basis, Sasha,
[01:56] ---
    you couldn't endure
    breeding without the fun of it, huh?
[02:00] ---
    Question three:
    Stop sullying even a single page
[02:03] ---
    of the holy New Testament, you filthy jerk.
[02:06] ---
    You know that I was forcibly
    made to wear these restrictive clothes
[02:09] ---
    by you, as my superior,
    as an abuse of your power.
[02:12] ---
    Oh, you really
    dislike them that much? Then,
[02:16] ---
    let's change your outfit.
[02:18] ---
    I've been looking into
    Academy City lately, you know?
[02:22] ---
    They have their
    own particular culture there.
[02:28] ---
    Tell me, Sasha,
[02:31] ---
    have you ever heard of
    Magical Powered Kanamin?
[02:36] ---
    Ah, come on, Sasha...
[02:40] ---
    I'm always running after you
[02:45] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[02:46] ---
    You are my ideal
[02:46] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[02:49] ---
    You are me
[02:52] ---
    There was a bird that could
    not fly any farther than this
[02:58] ---
    It rebuked the blue skies
    on fine, flawless wings
[03:04] ---
    This place is not that bad
[03:06] ---
    That sky is not that high
[03:10] ---
    This place is not that good
[03:16] ---
    Afraid of the speed
    it would feel in its body
[03:21] ---
    Everybody has a chance,
[03:24] ---
    but they cannot go any farther
[03:27] ---
    The truth is they
    cannot take flight
[03:30] ---
    The truth is they
    want to take flight
[03:33] ---
    Right now, beyond the wish
    I want to make come true
[03:39] ---
    you shine
[03:40] ---
    In my eyes I picture you
[03:46] ---
    "Standing in the future,
    always strong,"
[03:49] ---
    and that "you" is me
[03:52] ---
    You are still blindingly bright
[03:58] ---
    but in the same spirit,
    I reach out my hand
[04:01] ---
    and the "I" who I am will
    someday grab hold to become
[04:05] ---
    the you that I will be
[04:10] ---
    #19 The Researcher (Amata Kihara)
[04:16] ---
    "It's raining!" says Misaka
    Misaka, looking up at the night sky!
[04:20] ---
    Sheesh, you're bugging me.
    Hold still where you are.
[04:24] ---
    "Misaka wanted to
    see the moon, though,"
[04:27] ---
    she says, dancing but
    still somewhat despondent.
[04:29] ---
    Hey!
[04:31] ---
    I told you to stop scampering
    around, right? You dirty brat.
[04:34] ---
    "Misaka came this far without
    being overprotected, and she's fine,"
[04:38] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    seeking freedom and liberation.
[04:41] ---
    What kind of frontier-spirit
    nonsense are you going on about?
[04:45] ---
    And I'm not being protective.
[04:47] ---
    "There you go again.
    You don't have to be so bashful,"
[04:51] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    jabbing with her index finger.
[04:54] ---
    "Why are you making
    such a tight fist now?"
[04:58] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka, putting on
    a temper-alleviating bright smile!
[05:08] ---
    "Rain, rain, fall down,
    fall down, and fall down some more!"
[05:11] ---
    calls out Misaka Misaka to the night sky!
[05:16] ---
    Are you that afraid to
    direct any good will toward others?
[05:19] ---
    You seem to accept the good
    will shown to you by Last Order,
[05:23] ---
    but you refuse to show any
    good will from yourself toward her.
[05:27] ---
    It's because you're
    afraid it will backfire on you,
[05:29] ---
    and there will be no undoing it.
[05:32] ---
    Ee-yow!
[05:34] ---
    "She fell down," reports
    Misaka Misaka, sitting on the ground.
[05:39] ---
    Sheesh, I told you so.
[05:41] ---
    "I may need some disinfectant,"
[05:44] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    her eyes welling up a little.
[05:50] ---
    Rub some saliva into it.
[05:52] ---
    "I may need some disinfectant,"
[05:55] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    repeating the last thing she said.
[05:58] ---
    Look, let's just get
    back to Yomikawa's place.
[06:03] ---
    "All right,"
[06:04] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    accepting the situation.
[06:08] ---
    "It hurts now,
    but I'll try to put up with it,"
[06:10] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    plodding along, following after you.
[06:34] ---
    "Wah!"
[06:36] ---
    says Misaka Misaka--
[06:39] ---
    Wait right here. If you move
    without permission, I'll squash you.
[06:54] ---
    This is just stupid.
[07:10] ---
    It's by socking away this bullcrap
    that we pay back our debts.
[07:16] ---
    Tch, damn it all.
[07:29] ---
    Huh?
[07:31] ---
    You know, I thought some idiots
    like you would be coming along.
[07:35] ---
    I don't know whether you're here
    because you have a beef with me,
[07:40] ---
    or you're just trying to use me,
[07:42] ---
    but I'm gonna kill you.
[07:57] ---
    Ah, this is fun!
[08:00] ---
    You're up the creek!
[08:02] ---
    You've got me off my
    chain now, you son of a bitch!
[08:14] ---
    Huh?
[08:19] ---
    Ugh, this is tedious.
[08:29] ---
    Thanks for the show!
[08:31] ---
    Be grateful I'm laying
    waste to you so spectacularly!
[08:35] ---
    I told them so, didn't I?
[08:39] ---
    You can't bring the kid down in
    such a watered-down fashion as this.
[08:43] ---
    It's gonna take me, all right.
[08:48] ---
    Hey, Kihara!
[08:51] ---
    What kind of a coy entrance is that?
[08:54] ---
    I can't believe you're
    the same intellectual-type
[08:57] ---
    who was too spooked
    to look a person in the eye.
[09:01] ---
    I was against meeting
    up with you again, myself.
[09:05] ---
    Higher-ups' orders.
    What can you do?
[09:08] ---
    They said it was an emergency,
[09:10] ---
    and didn't have the luxury of
    being choosy about their methods.
[09:13] ---
    So you see, I hate to ask,
    but would you let me destroy you here?
[09:17] ---
    After all, who do you think it is
    that developed that power of yours?
[09:21] ---
    Huh? What? What did you say?
    Are we brimming with duty and sentiment?
[09:27] ---
    You're not, by chance, expecting
    me to return the favor, are you?
[09:31] ---
    Man, you're hopeless. But then,
[09:34] ---
    if you're gonna go crazy, do it alone.
[09:37] ---
    It would take more than both my hands
[09:39] ---
    to count the researchers
    who monkeyed around with my body.
[09:43] ---
    Do you think I'm gonna keep
    around every last memory of you guys?!
[09:48] ---
    You know, you really
    are a galling little punk.
[09:52] ---
    Yeah, I'd love to kill you.
    I'd love to kill you so bad.
[09:56] ---
    I knew I should have killed
    you way back then. My goof, my goof.
[10:01] ---
    What did I think I was doing?
[10:04] ---
    That's why I'm gonna
    kill you, you little punk!
[10:10] ---
    What are you thinking,
    you idiot? Now, how should I--
[10:19] ---
    My reflection... didn't work?!
[10:21] ---
    Hey, little punk, I'll ask it again.
[10:25] ---
    Who do you think it was that
    gave you that two-bit power of yours?
[10:30] ---
    Come on, do you remember now?!
[10:37] ---
    Huh?
[10:41] ---
    That ain't like you.
[10:43] ---
    Well, we're gonna
    keep her in our care,
[10:47] ---
    so don't you worry about her.
[10:48] ---
    You can get beat here and become
    a stain on the wall, or whatever.
[10:52] ---
    That'd be more like you, anyway.
[10:58] ---
    Don't you... mock me... you...
[11:02] ---
    ...third-string!
[11:05] ---
    This ain't gonna do it.
[11:17] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:23] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:29] ---
    Don't tell me... you... developed
    an esper power... in yourself...!
[11:36] ---
    Huh?
[11:40] ---
    No, no, that's not it.
[11:43] ---
    That's a job for lab rats, you know.
[11:46] ---
    I won't have any trouble crushing you
[11:49] ---
    without having to resort to
    using that kind of ridiculous power.
[11:53] ---
    These guys are
    really in the zone tonight.
[12:00] ---
    Time for you to become
    a corpse, you son of a bitch!
[12:05] ---
    I get it, I get it,
[12:06] ---
    you thought the secret to my
    power is in these gloves, did you?
[12:10] ---
    But actually, it's not!
[12:16] ---
    How long are you gonna
    pretend you're the strongest,
[12:18] ---
    you piece of scrap!
[12:24] ---
    Your reflection is not some kind
    of absolute wall, you know.
[12:28] ---
    It only alters the vectors of
    power directed at it the other way.
[12:32] ---
    Which makes it simple.
[12:34] ---
    All I have to do is yank back
    my fist a second before a direct hit.
[12:38] ---
    Call it knowing how to stop short.
[12:41] ---
    In other words, you end
    up purposely slugging yourself.
[12:46] ---
    You understand now,
    my little masochist?
[12:50] ---
    Maybe that's too hard
    for a little kid to understand.
[12:55] ---
    It's like that wind you made earlier.
[12:58] ---
    Your ability comes about
    as a result of vector formulas.
[13:02] ---
    So all I have to do is disrupt them.
[13:06] ---
    I can jam everything using
    special sound waves and whatnot!
[13:10] ---
    I've got a firm handle on
    your characteristics, your formulas,
[13:13] ---
    even your own Personal Reality!
[13:17] ---
    I didn't develop this
    power of yours for nothing!
[13:23] ---
    Tell me, Accelerator,
    do you understand what she means?
[13:28] ---
    I mean, for Project Radio Noise,
    the 3rd-ranked Railgun was used.
[13:32] ---
    Why wasn't it you, when you're 1st-ranked?
[13:36] ---
    There's something there.
    Something you don't have the first clue about.
[13:41] ---
    Damn you...
[13:43] ---
    How poignant. Look.
    She's quite thrilled about it herself.
[13:53] ---
    Recovery complete,
    I guess you would say.
[13:55] ---
    Aww, they made it clear
    that we were to take the prize alive,
[13:59] ---
    but can she really be, like that?
[14:01] ---
    No way am I writing
    an apology letter for this.
[14:05] ---
    She's still alive.
[14:07] ---
    If she were dead, my sister's
    proxy calculations would be affected.
[14:12] ---
    I've got no positive proof... but...
[14:16] ---
    ...if I don't do something,
    I'll never see her again...
[14:21] ---
    Last Order!
[14:39] ---
    Aww, man...
    She's not a golf ball, you know.
[14:43] ---
    Don't go blasting people away
    for distances best measured in yards.
[14:46] ---
    Sheesh, just who does he
    think is gonna recover her now?
[14:49] ---
    Because it's not gonna be me.
[14:51] ---
    What should we do?
[14:53] ---
    Oh, you know what?
    Split up into three squads.
[14:56] ---
    One of you, go after the prize.
[14:58] ---
    The other two, stay with me.
[15:00] ---
    But our first priority
    is to recover Last Order.
[15:03] ---
    Oh?
[15:05] ---
    You're the one who was
    recently assigned to Hound Dog, right?
[15:09] ---
    Er, no, I...
[15:10] ---
    Oh, it's okay, it's okay. It's not
    like I'm doing a background check.
[15:15] ---
    But you don't seem to know
    the rules, so let me educate you.
[15:18] ---
    You guys are a collection of scum.
    You've got no human rights.
[15:23] ---
    And scum can be
    replaced as often as it takes.
[15:26] ---
    If you interfere with
    my precious, precious mission,
[15:29] ---
    then I have no qualms about
    killing you. You understand me?
[15:33] ---
    You're already dead once over.
[15:35] ---
    Just to confirm, do you understand?
[15:40] ---
    All right, then we're clear.
[15:42] ---
    Search the rivers, reservoirs,
    and any other waterfronts out there.
[15:47] ---
    He wouldn't have blown the kid away
[15:50] ---
    without calculating where she would land.
[15:52] ---
    What are we going to do? Recover him?
[15:55] ---
    No, kill him. There's no
    reason to capture him.
[15:59] ---
    Looking at this guy, after all
    the effort he went to, is irritating me.
[16:03] ---
    Safer to kill the moody,
    self-satisfied punk right here.
[16:08] ---
    Shut up.
[16:11] ---
    Damn you... You'll never
    get it as long as you live.
[16:15] ---
    Ha, oh yeah?
[16:18] ---
    Well, I'm killing you now.
[16:20] ---
    You're okay with those
    being your last words, right?
[16:23] ---
    Damn it, somebody...
[16:26] ---
    It's time for some luck.
    If you want the credit, it's yours.
[16:30] ---
    I don't even care if you trample
    on me and laugh while you do it.
[16:34] ---
    Somebody... anybody...
[16:37] ---
    ...save the kid...
[16:40] ---
    What are you doing over there?
[16:52] ---
    Good grief, Index...
[16:54] ---
    No sooner do I run into you than
    you disappear again immediately.
[16:57] ---
    Toma, you're lacking in consideration.
[17:00] ---
    The white-haired boy I met before
    I got here bought me a hamburger
[17:03] ---
    without even asking
    what my circumstances were.
[17:06] ---
    Toma, you have to
    be more like that nice boy.
[17:10] ---
    Yeah, yeah. It's not like I've
    got nothing at all to do with this guy.
[17:15] ---
    For that matter, did you remember
    to say thank you to him?
[17:18] ---
    I'm someone who
    makes sure to thank others! Oh...
[17:21] ---
    Hmm? What's wrong?
[17:23] ---
    Come to think of it...
[17:25] ---
    ...he let me borrow these.
[17:26] ---
    They're just pocket tissues.
[17:28] ---
    Oh, but if he doesn't have
    this cutting-edge, daily use product,
[17:32] ---
    won't he be bothered if he needs them?
[17:34] ---
    Toma, I have to go return these to him now.
[17:38] ---
    He'll be bothered if you do
    return them, won't he?
[17:41] ---
    H-Hey!
[17:44] ---
    Sheesh, she's always, always like this.
[17:50] ---
    Uh-oh, it's raining.
[17:52] ---
    Come to think of it,
    Index didn't have an umbrella.
[18:02] ---
    Seems to be more Antiskill
    out than there normally is.
[18:05] ---
    I hope I can find Index quick,
    before there's any trouble--
[18:16] ---
    I-Is something the matter?
    Excuse me! Excuse me!
[18:27] ---
    Whoa...
[18:29] ---
    What's going on here?
[18:36] ---
    It doesn't seem to be life-threatening.
[18:38] ---
    But what just happened here?
[18:44] ---
    ...in the metro area. Repeat,
[18:46] ---
    gate destruction confirmed.
    Intruders in the metro area.
[18:50] ---
    We're under attack
    of an unknown nature--
[18:54] ---
    Intruders?
[18:56] ---
    Index!
[19:02] ---
    Y-You...
[19:04] ---
    "Help!
[19:05] ---
    Please, you've got to help him,"
[19:09] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka, begging!
[19:26] ---
    Hi! Aleister?
[19:29] ---
    I know you secretly listen in
    on regular lines like this one, right?
[19:35] ---
    It sure would delight me if
    you'd hurry up and engage me.
[19:41] ---
    What do you want?
[19:44] ---
    I just got done disgracing three
    members of the governing board.
[19:49] ---
    Yet you still put up with it?
[19:51] ---
    They can be replaced,
    as often as it takes.
[19:55] ---
    Ha, I'd guessed
    that you were hiding
[19:58] ---
    the entire governing board's
    consensus behind your views,
[20:02] ---
    but it looks like my
    expectations were off. Oh well.
[20:05] ---
    You know my identity, don't you?
[20:08] ---
    I'm afraid not.
[20:10] ---
    The Right Seat of God.
[20:12] ---
    If you want to play
    dumb, that's okay, too.
[20:15] ---
    Just so there are no regrets later.
[20:18] ---
    Aren't you underestimating this city?
[20:21] ---
    Oh, imagine that. You don't
    even know the status of your own city.
[20:26] ---
    Antiskill and Judgment, was it?
[20:29] ---
    You've ended up with
    your head in a noose so easily
[20:31] ---
    because you relied on those
    rinky-dink outfits to protect you.
[20:33] ---
    You have to at least know
    that you are finished, right?
[20:39] ---
    If you think that's all it takes
[20:40] ---
    to bring down Academy City's
    defense network,
[20:44] ---
    then you are a hopeless idiot.
[20:47] ---
    You have absolutely no
    idea what this city's true form is.
[20:52] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[20:53] ---
    I'm saying, you aren't the only
    one with tricks up your sleeves.
[20:57] ---
    But then, you will likely be brought
    down before you realize that.
[21:02] ---
    Whatever you say, I will
    crush anything that opposes me.
[21:07] ---
    This has been written in stone
    from the moment I was born.
[21:12] ---
    I am Vento of the Front,
    the final weapon from among
[21:16] ---
    the Roman Orthodox
    Church's two billion faithful!
[21:19] ---
    I will crush everything in one night!
[21:22] ---
    That goes for you, Academy City,
[21:24] ---
    Imagine Breaker, the List of
    Prohibited Books--all of you!
[21:32] ---
    Interesting.
[21:34] ---
    It looks like a chance to
    finally use that has come along.
[21:39] ---
    It may be too soon, but with
    the situation being tied to the plan,
[21:43] ---
    irregularities are
    the greatest amusement.
[21:47] ---
    Hound Dog, Kihara Amata...
[21:51] ---
    This is Kihara.
[21:53] ---
    Imaginary Number School
    District, Five-Element Agency,
[21:55] ---
    the AIM diffusion field.
    It may be a bit early,
[21:59] ---
    but we will crush
    them using Fuse=KAZAKIRI.
[22:03] ---
    Once you have captured
    the escaped #20001,
[22:06] ---
    bring her to the designated point.
[22:10] ---
    Do it swiftly, but courteously.
[22:13] ---
    Acknowledged.
[22:16] ---
    Now then...
[22:18] ---
    ...for a long-awaited enjoyable showtime...
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone
[22:52] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around
[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again
[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk
[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that
[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:56] ---
    A running battle for Last Order had begun.
[23:58] ---
    One will stand alone against
    them, all to protect one girl.
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Hound Dog."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic cross
    paths, the story begins.

    Kihara Amata of Hound Dog
    overpowers Accelerator.
[00:34] ---
    However, his objective is the
    recovery of Last Order.
[00:37] ---
    Accelerator allows
    Last Order to escape,
[00:39] ---
    but has no means
    of fighting back. And then...
[00:42] ---
    What are you doing over there?
[00:43] ---
    Huh?

    #20 Hound Dog (Hound Squad)
[02:26] ---
    Huh?
[02:30] ---
    What do we do?
[02:32] ---
    Huh?
[02:33] ---
    You wanna know what to do?
[02:35] ---
    We've gotta eliminate her, right?
[02:50] ---
    Get going. If you don't
    get to a hospital right away,
[02:53] ---
    it'll be too late.
[02:58] ---
    Hey, what are you waiting for!?
    Hurry up and shoot!
[03:00] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[03:06] ---
    Don't make a fuss.
[03:08] ---
    Just keep going forward.
[03:09] ---
    Time is running out
    for the both of us, right?
[03:12] ---
    W-Where to?
[03:14] ---
    I know a good doctor.
[03:16] ---
    Aww... That one thing!
    Bring me that thing!
[03:22] ---
    Wishful thinking.
[03:23] ---
    If you use a car,
    you're all but telling me
[03:26] ---
    that you can't use
    your wind control, aren't you?
[03:29] ---
    Adios, scumbag.
[03:32] ---
    Huh?
[03:35] ---
    Geez...
[03:50] ---
    Nice city, huh?
[03:52] ---
    I was sure the erosion
    would be a lot further along, though.
[03:56] ---
    Who are you?
[03:58] ---
    A rival of yours in the killing trade.
[04:02] ---
    Kill her.
[04:06] ---
    You... bear no hostility, huh?
[04:08] ---
    If that's what you want,
    try being more adequate.
[04:17] ---
    Well now, he really
    turned up his nose at me.
[04:20] ---
    I wonder if you'll
    be of any use, though.
[04:35] ---
    "These are the people
    who attacked him,"
[04:37] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, telling the truth.
[04:40] ---
    Yeah, but is this
    what your friend did to them?
[04:44] ---
    "I don't think so.
[04:46] ---
    He is short-tempered, and quick to fight,
[04:49] ---
    so it seems unthinkable that
    his retaliation would be so minor,"
[04:52] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    making a simple assumption.
[04:56] ---
    In any case, we have to report this.
[05:00] ---
    "They are here!"
[05:02] ---
    reports Misaka Misaka
    while taking cover behind the car.
[05:07] ---
    "They"?
[05:27] ---
    Oh, what have we here?
[05:30] ---
    Oh, that's an osmatic sensor.
[05:32] ---
    We use them to track down targets.
[05:35] ---
    So it's a mechanical police dog, is it?
[05:38] ---
    You know, there's
    something about this quietness.
[05:41] ---
    This wouldn't be more of
    Kihara's big production, would it?
[05:47] ---
    What the hell were
    you doing back there?
[05:50] ---
    Hmm? I came to give back
    something I borrowed from you.
[05:54] ---
    Here! This cutting-edge
    daily-use product.
[05:57] ---
    What are you, dense?
    Those things are disposable.
[06:05] ---
    Mm-hmm... "And so the ugly duck,
    who had been told she was no good,
[06:10] ---
    turned out to actually
    be a super sexy-hot swan.
[06:13] ---
    The end."
[06:14] ---
    Say, what does "sexy-hot" mean?
[06:17] ---
    That's not what
    "The Ugly Duckling" is about.
[06:20] ---
    Then, what is it about?
[06:21] ---
    Huh? What was it again...?
[06:25] ---
    From what the kid said, the swan
    who wanted to get along with the ducks,
[06:31] ---
    was actually happy to
    be confronted with the fact,
[06:35] ---
    that she wasn't part
    of their circle, or something.
[06:39] ---
    By "the kid," do you mean
    the lost girl you were looking for?
[06:43] ---
    In fact, as circumstances would
    have it, I'm still looking for her.
[06:46] ---
    You got separated again?
[06:48] ---
    Yeah, that's right. That's why
    we have to part ways here.
[06:52] ---
    I'll look with you!
[06:54] ---
    I mean, I can tell that
    you're bothered by this.
[06:57] ---
    I think if it were Toma,
    he'd say the same thing.
[07:02] ---
    Pull over somewhere around here.
[07:06] ---
    There's a huge hospital in this area.
[07:08] ---
    Go there, and find a doctor
    whose face looks a lot like a frog.
[07:13] ---
    When you find the doctor,
    tell him to get a battery ready
[07:16] ---
    for the Misaka Network connection
    electrode. He'll know what it means.
[07:20] ---
    Mm-hmm, all right.
[07:22] ---
    "A Misaka Network connection
    electrode battery," right?
[07:29] ---
    You sit tight.
[07:31] ---
    Huh?
[07:31] ---
    You have to wait
    right here until I get back.
[07:36] ---
    All right. Just get going, already.
[07:42] ---
    Start driving.
[07:44] ---
    Aren't you going to let me go yet?
[07:47] ---
    Live or die, you decide.
[08:01] ---
    You still alive, Last Order?!
[08:14] ---
    No good. It's locked.
[08:16] ---
    There may be a way to unlock it.
[08:27] ---
    Let's just go someplace
    with a lot of people.
[08:30] ---
    They're not going
    to want to make a scene.
[08:34] ---
    "Are we really going to
    be able to help him like this?"
[08:38] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka,
    lamenting over how powerless she is.
[08:42] ---
    Who can say? Still,
[08:45] ---
    there's no way we can
    help him if we don't survive this.
[08:48] ---
    If you want to save him,
    make sure you don't die first.
[08:52] ---
    "Mm-hmm," says Misaka Misaka,
    nodding her head forward.
[08:56] ---
    Okay, let's stay alive.
[09:08] ---
    What's going on here?
[09:10] ---
    Let's just get outside--
[09:29] ---
    What do you need at this hour?
[09:32] ---
    There's trouble. Major trouble.
[09:35] ---
    I heard the general situation
    from one of the Misaka sisters.
[09:40] ---
    They perform a kind
    of information exchange
[09:43] ---
    across their electrical network, you see.
[09:46] ---
    That speeds things up.
    What's happened to the kid?
[09:51] ---
    It appears that she is being pursued
    by a separate Hound Dog unit.
[09:56] ---
    Word is that she is with a bystander
    who happened to be with her.
[10:00] ---
    Tch, where are they?
[10:01] ---
    She does not know that, herself.
[10:04] ---
    Did a kid wearing a
    white nun's habit arrive there yet?
[10:08] ---
    How does she know
    about your proxy calculator?
[10:12] ---
    That's none of your concern.
[10:15] ---
    Just keep her there with you.
[10:17] ---
    Hmm... Good grief.
    How far are you planning to take this?
[10:23] ---
    I'm killing Kihara.
[10:24] ---
    I'm bringing down Hound Dog, too.
[10:26] ---
    Then, I'm saving the kid, unharmed.
[10:29] ---
    Not possible.
    Under the circumstances,
[10:33] ---
    you are undertaking
    too many courses of action.
[10:37] ---
    There is no way you
    will accomplish them all.
[10:39] ---
    Don't be such a know-it-all!
    Since when do doctors--
[10:42] ---
    I've seen hells
    that were worse than yours.
[10:45] ---
    Which is why I can
    say this to you. Accelerator,
[10:48] ---
    do not bite off more than you can chew;
[10:52] ---
    make saving Last Order's
    life your only priority.
[10:56] ---
    If you bring her back to me alive,
    I will definitely heal her.
[10:59] ---
    Measuring up to those
    expectations is what a doctor does.
[11:04] ---
    That's fine with me.
[11:09] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:15] ---
    The Right Seat of God, huh?
[11:18] ---
    I didn't think they'd go this far.
[11:36] ---
    This is Yomikawa calling Headquarters.
[11:39] ---
    Requesting details on call 334.
[11:46] ---
    This girl...
[11:49] ---
    W-What the...?
[12:02] ---
    Renewable Resource
    Treatment Plant #3, huh?
[12:04] ---
    The target's scent
    continues on into there.
[12:07] ---
    You're absolutely sure of that, right?
[12:14] ---
    If you want to get out of here safely,
[12:16] ---
    you'll just sit still there.
[12:19] ---
    A cleaning agent. That'll do it.
[12:23] ---
    Now to wash away my smell,
    and get myself out of here. Hmm?
[12:28] ---
    Damn them. They're here earlier
    than expected, aren't they?
[12:34] ---
    All they have are the small ones, huh?
[12:39] ---
    Sissy!
[12:42] ---
    What do you want, Kuroko?
[12:43] ---
    I cannot get back home
    because of my Judgment work,
[12:46] ---
    so I need you to get in touch
    with our nagging head resident
[12:49] ---
    to ask for a curfew extension.
    I know it is already past curfew--
[12:52] ---
    Um...
[12:53] ---
    I'm at the convenience
    store right now, so...
[12:55] ---
    Gah?!
[12:58] ---
    How can Sissy still be out, as well?
[13:01] ---
    We are going to get some
    demerits, no questions asked.
[13:05] ---
    Why would Miss Misaka
    be breaking curfew today?
[13:10] ---
    I-It cannot be!
[13:12] ---
    My Sissy, on an evening
    date with that rotten troglodyte?!
[13:16] ---
    Why that lousy jerk!
    Enjoying the evening view in the rain!
[13:20] ---
    That is a rather elegant choice!
[13:22] ---
    I cannot just stand around here.
[13:24] ---
    I, Shirai Kuroko, have a
    duty to preserve Sissy's virtue!
[13:27] ---
    No, you can't.
[13:28] ---
    Look, this mountain of paperwork
[13:31] ---
    and accounting documents
    is nowhere near being done, right?
[13:40] ---
    What's happening out there?
[13:42] ---
    Why aren't they coming in?
[13:45] ---
    Hi!!
[13:48] ---
    Did I startle you?
[13:50] ---
    Don't be scared; come on out.
    I have my own issues to deal with.
[13:56] ---
    If you won't do as I say,
[13:59] ---
    I'll turn you into a lump of goo.
[14:06] ---
    Who are you?
[14:09] ---
    One of the Right Seat
    of God, Vento of the Front.
[14:14] ---
    Target located.
    And with that out of the way,
[14:17] ---
    it's time to get
    yourself killed, Kamijo Toma!
[14:28] ---
    Rod, what does
    the osmatic sensor say?
[14:30] ---
    Hang on, it's just finishing.
[14:57] ---
    You don't have to be so nervous.
[14:59] ---
    You won't have
    enough time to feel any pain.
[15:04] ---
    Hide somewhere, Last Order!
[15:10] ---
    Ha-ha! There's the right hand
    I've heard so much about!
[15:13] ---
    Way to keep up with me here!
[15:16] ---
    From above!
[15:20] ---
    What fun! I see, I see!
[15:24] ---
    It looks like your right
    hand is extremely effective,
[15:26] ---
    just like it said in the report!
[15:28] ---
    My favorite attack,
    striking from every which way,
[15:31] ---
    has absolutely no effect!
[15:33] ---
    Your favorite?
[15:34] ---
    Then again,
    I don't really understand it.
[15:37] ---
    All right, let's try this.
[15:38] ---
    Why, you...!
[15:41] ---
    Ha, so that does that, huh?
    Sorry 'bout that.
[15:46] ---
    Seems as though
    there not being enough time
[15:48] ---
    to feel any pain is too much to ask.
[15:51] ---
    So, if you want to find happiness,
    you'll have to become a masochist.
[15:56] ---
    These attacks haven't been
    following the movement of her hammer.
[16:00] ---
    You mean, it's the cross?!
[16:03] ---
    Oh, my secret's out, is it?
[16:05] ---
    Damn!
[16:06] ---
    Uh-oh. This is kind of starting
    to become a nuisance. Here!
[16:14] ---
    Run!
[16:19] ---
    Go on! Please, call for help!
[16:25] ---
    Leave it!
[16:29] ---
    You're pretty cruel, huh?
    How can you make that little girl
[16:33] ---
    keep running away
    into the darkness like that?
[16:36] ---
    Wouldn't she be happier
    if she were killed alongside you?
[16:40] ---
    As long as I go pick
    her up, there's no problem.
[16:43] ---
    That's why I won't die.
[16:44] ---
    Oh, how fun. On the other hand,
    will you be able to say the same,
[16:49] ---
    once I turn your
    internal organs to fleshy juice?
[16:52] ---
    Well, you are my target, after all.
[16:55] ---
    So long as you don't run,
    that will really help me out!
[17:14] ---
    Y-You're joking, right...?
[17:16] ---
    Joking? Yeah, of course.
[17:19] ---
    Trying out some new material.
[17:26] ---
    Sorry about that. Do you even
    know who you've made an enemy of?
[17:41] ---
    Isn't that nice of you?
[17:43] ---
    Are you sure you shouldn't
    be worrying about yourself?
[17:47] ---
    Why, you...
[17:50] ---
    What's the point of
    getting all heated up now?
[17:53] ---
    You do know what's going
    on in Academy City now, right?
[17:56] ---
    Get a clue as
    to how valuable you are!
[17:59] ---
    My only objective is you,
    Kamijo Toma.
[18:02] ---
    Anything else is icing on the cake.
[18:04] ---
    Even the List of Prohibited Books
    is insignificant compared to you.
[18:09] ---
    You are without a doubt an enemy
    of the Roman Orthodox Church now.
[18:12] ---
    And we use whatever means
    are necessary to defeat our enemies.
[18:16] ---
    Even if it means wiping
    out the entire nation of Japan.
[18:20] ---
    As you can see, it is personally
    signed by the Roman pope himself.
[18:24] ---
    What are you talking about?
[18:25] ---
    Did it sound like
    I was kidding? Well then,
[18:28] ---
    I will now kill every
    single person in this shop!
[18:32] ---
    Stop!
[18:33] ---
    And away it goes!
[18:37] ---
    This is Vera.
[18:38] ---
    Status report, over.
[18:43] ---
    Damn.
[18:53] ---
    Nancy!
[19:09] ---
    Damn...
[19:14] ---
    What's that?
    A side effect of the magic?
[19:27] ---
    Miss Shirai!
[19:28] ---
    Which bento box do you want?
[19:31] ---
    There's Chinese donburi or fish here.
[19:32] ---
    Right about now, Sissy and that rotten troglodyte
[19:36] ---
    are enjoying the
    city nightlife together...
[19:39] ---
    Oh! It's time for
    "Sudden Variety." The TV, the TV...
[19:44] ---
    Who cares?!
[19:45] ---
    "Intruder Disturbance in Academy City"
[19:46] ---
    Currently, there is word of an intruder disturbance in Academy City.
[19:50] ---
    Accompanying this is word
[19:50] ---
    "Intruder Disturbance in Academy City"
[19:51] ---
    that there has been damage extending all across Academy City.
[19:55] ---
    Ah, we are receiving footage now.
[19:55] ---
    "Intruder Disturbance Strikes Academy City"
[19:59] ---
    "One moment please"
[20:00] ---
    Did we get any reports
    about what we just saw?
[20:04] ---
    Then again, if one person really
    did overpower Antiskill,
[20:08] ---
    that intruder has a
    considerable risk factor.
[20:12] ---
    If it really does get out of hand,
    Antiskill will request backup.
[20:16] ---
    Until then, we'll work
    on as much paperwork as--
[20:20] ---
    Uiharu?
[20:27] ---
    That ought to shake
    off their sense of smell.
[20:47] ---
    Him, huh?
[20:52] ---
    Help me! Take me into protective custody!
[20:56] ---
    In your face! I'm saved!
[20:59] ---
    If you try anything, your relationship
[21:01] ---
    with that brat you tried so
    hard to protect will be through!
[21:14] ---
    W-What?!
[21:17] ---
    Wait! Wait a second, Accelerator!
[21:20] ---
    Spare me--
[21:24] ---
    G-Get away from that man!
[21:38] ---
    This is a real scene of carnage.
[21:45] ---
    So that's it.
[21:46] ---
    This is how they were planning
    to attack Academy City, is it?
[21:51] ---
    They're going to impale each
    and every incapacitated person.
[22:01] ---
    That's no good, huh?
[22:06] ---
    Aiho!
[22:08] ---
    School District 5,
[22:10] ---
    based on testimony at the
    scene and databank cross-referencing,
[22:14] ---
    the following person is wanted
    as the primary person of interest
[22:16] ---
    in a case of attempted murder.
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    People are collapsing left and right.
[23:57] ---
    Accelerator roars at the unrest
    spreading through Academy City.
[24:00] ---
    And then, giant wings
    dance across the skies.
[24:02] ---
    Could those actually be...?
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "Testament."
[24:06] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

    Three is for heaven, four is for earth,
[00:33] ---
    and twelve represents the whole world.
[00:36] ---
    By attaching meaning to specific numbers,
[00:38] ---
    you yield units on
    a grand scale, is that it?
[00:42] ---
    It's a clever procedure, but it
    is not from the church of the cross.
[00:46] ---
    The theory is from ancient Greece,
    BCE, from the Pythagorean order.
[00:50] ---
    Since when did
    you guys ever acknowledge
[00:52] ---
    the world before
    the Son of God was born?
[01:06] ---
    A drawn-out battle
    is not to my advantage.
[01:18] ---
    It's such a shame!
[01:20] ---
    Whenever I see such a fine-spun spell,
[01:23] ---
    I hate to have to destroy it!
[01:29] ---
    I'm always running after you
[01:35] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:35] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:35] ---
    You are my ideal
[01:38] ---
    You are me
[01:42] ---
    There was a bird that could
    not fly any farther than this
[01:47] ---
    It rebuked the blue skies
    on fine, flawless wings
[01:53] ---
    This place is not that bad
[01:55] ---
    That sky is not that high
[01:58] ---
    This place is not that good
[02:05] ---
    Afraid of the speed
    it would feel in its body
[02:10] ---
    Everybody has a chance,
[02:13] ---
    but they cannot go any farther
[02:16] ---
    The truth is they
    cannot take flight
[02:19] ---
    The truth is they
    want to take flight
[02:22] ---
    Right now, beyond the wish
    I want to make come true
[02:28] ---
    you shine
[02:29] ---
    In my eyes I picture you
[02:35] ---
    "Standing in the future,
    always strong,"
[02:38] ---
    and that "you" is me
[02:41] ---
    You are still blindingly bright
[02:47] ---
    but in the same spirit,
    I reach out my hand
[02:50] ---
    and the "I" who I am will
    someday grab hold to become
[02:54] ---
    the you that I will be
[02:59] ---
    #21 Testament (Learning Device)
[03:05] ---
    If those guys show up again...
[03:10] ---
    I have less than four
    minutes of ability mode left.
[03:22] ---
    I'm at least gonna bring
    that kid out of the darkness.
[03:30] ---
    The whole building is clear.
    There's nobody here.
[03:34] ---
    According to the report,
    due to the threat of terrorist activity,
[03:37] ---
    they had the staff and
    patients temporarily evacuate.
[03:41] ---
    They're onto us, huh?
[03:43] ---
    That's not good.
[03:49] ---
    Any chance it's a trap?
[03:51] ---
    No, I can't spot any wires or infrared.
[04:02] ---
    Took you long enough, didn't it?
[04:05] ---
    Heaven Canceller?
[04:07] ---
    There's no time, so I'll keep this brief.
[04:09] ---
    Leave Kihara behind,
    and get yourselves out of there.
[04:12] ---
    Otherwise,
    your lives will be in danger.
[04:15] ---
    Are you serious?
[04:17] ---
    Accelerator is
    going to come down on you.
[04:20] ---
    Right now, he is
    not holding back one bit.
[04:23] ---
    You must not run
    into Accelerator. That is all.
[04:27] ---
    Ha, you're talking nonsense.
[04:31] ---
    I see. Then, don't get killed.
[04:34] ---
    As long as you
    don't die, I'll save you.
[04:46] ---
    Currently, we are receiving
    reports from all over the country
[04:50] ---
    of people suddenly
    losing consciousness.
[04:52] ---
    According to police,
    they are hurrying to identify the cause,
[04:56] ---
    but this is not just happening in Japan,
    as there are reports of cases overseas, as well.
[04:59] ---
    Which means it's spreading
    over there, as well.
[05:02] ---
    As long as Academy City came under
    our control, that's all we needed.
[05:14] ---
    Last Order?! No, is it Kihara?
[05:20] ---
    Thank goodness! I finally got through!
[05:23] ---
    I've heard this voice before somewhere.
[05:25] ---
    I've just been dialing all of the
    numbers in Last Order's cell phone.
[05:30] ---
    You're the only one who answered.
[05:32] ---
    Maybe you don't know what
    the situation is, but I need your help.
[05:35] ---
    She's in danger!
[05:38] ---
    What is the situation?
[05:41] ---
    You got split up
    at the restaurant, right?
[05:43] ---
    I'll take over recovering her now.
    You get rid of that cell phone,
[05:47] ---
    and go back to being a regular guy.
[05:49] ---
    What are you talking about?!
    I'm helping out with this, of course!
[05:54] ---
    You go to that huge
    bridge in School District 7.
[05:57] ---
    We set that up as a rendezvous
    point in case anything happened.
[06:01] ---
    If she's still on
    the run, she'll go there.
[06:03] ---
    Yeah, all right!
[06:05] ---
    Things are kind of off
    here in Academy City today.
[06:08] ---
    We've got weirdos
    coming in from outside the city,
[06:11] ---
    while Antiskill and others in
    the city are dropping like flies.
[06:15] ---
    This attack is fairly indiscriminate,
    so you watch out, too!
[06:19] ---
    Tch, what a pain.
[06:23] ---
    Sorry about this.
[06:25] ---
    I never should have let her go alone.
[06:29] ---
    I could say the same.
    I left the kid alone, myself.
[06:34] ---
    We've lost contact
    with multiple other squads.
[06:37] ---
    It's possible that...
[06:38] ---
    They either ran away,
    or they're dead.
[06:41] ---
    Either way, I'll have to
    collect their hearts afterward.
[06:44] ---
    Have you recovered the
    group we sent out as decoys
[06:47] ---
    when that woman got in our way?
[06:49] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:50] ---
    There was some kind of power at work,
[06:52] ---
    and the oxygen levels inside
    their bodies had dropped extremely low.
[06:55] ---
    Artificially-induced asphyxia?
    Tsk, this is that woman's doing.
[07:02] ---
    Damn it, it's because of her that our...
[07:08] ---
    Hey!
[07:09] ---
    It can't be!
[07:11] ---
    That creep. How the hell is she targeting?
[07:15] ---
    No, it couldn't be. Unscientifically?
[07:19] ---
    Enough! We're still
    gonna do what we're gonna do.
[07:23] ---
    Is the Testament rig ready?
[07:25] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:28] ---
    Right here.
[07:38] ---
    That... belongs to her...!
[07:48] ---
    How you doing, Accelerator?
[07:52] ---
    What do you want, Kihara?
[07:56] ---
    Tell me, did a snippet of
    the kid's shirt drop around there?
[08:00] ---
    If not, keep looking for it.
    I left it there on purpose.
[08:05] ---
    I've gotta say, though,
    Testament is really something else, huh?
[08:09] ---
    It ain't normal to cram a
    virus right into a person's head.
[08:16] ---
    So, what kind of reaction
    are you expecting from me?
[08:19] ---
    Huh?
[08:20] ---
    Is holding my sides
    and laughing the right answer,
[08:23] ---
    my little masochist?
[08:25] ---
    Hey, you, have you lost the
    capacity to evaluate the situation?
[08:29] ---
    What about you?
    Why don't you kill the kid?
[08:33] ---
    I mean, the folks who
    hired you didn't give you some
[08:37] ---
    tear-jerking line about
    recovering her unharmed, right?
[08:41] ---
    And yet all the same,
    what is it with you quaking in your boots,
[08:44] ---
    unable to lay a finger on her?
[08:47] ---
    I'll kill her.
[08:49] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[08:52] ---
    Given that bastard's personality,
    after everything I said to him,
[08:55] ---
    he'd have plucked one
    of her eyes out, at least.
[08:59] ---
    But since he hasn't, that means...
[09:02] ---
    Well, well, that clinches
    it--he's a full-fledged errand boy.
[09:07] ---
    A backer powerful enough
    to keep even Kihara in check.
[09:10] ---
    It couldn't be...
    Academy City itself?
[09:13] ---
    If so, it's the governing board.
    If I look into them... Ha!
[09:18] ---
    Hey, now, this is awesome.
    Just like that, I'm making headway.
[09:26] ---
    Don't you screw with me!
[09:29] ---
    Take me lightly, will you?!
[10:07] ---
    Hmm... There seems to be
    some kind of commotion out front.
[10:12] ---
    The deployment of the
    Imaginary Number School District,
[10:15] ---
    Five-Element Agency, employing
    AIM diffusion fields, is complete.
[10:19] ---
    If any magic is invoked
    here within Academy City,
[10:23] ---
    that magician will run
    out of control and self-destruct.
[10:27] ---
    Vento of the Front, was it?
    You are no exception to that.
[10:33] ---
    At our current output, we are
    unable to envelop the whole world.
[10:38] ---
    But, with the inclusion
    of Fuse=KAZAKIRI,
[10:41] ---
    the shoe will soon be on the other foot.
[10:55] ---
    What exactly is this?
[10:57] ---
    I've started sensing
    some unidentified presence.
[11:00] ---
    And it's still expanding.
[11:07] ---
    Why, you...
[11:08] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[11:10] ---
    Have you come
    here just so I could kill you?
[11:20] ---
    What have you done with Last Order?!
[11:22] ---
    Last Order, you say?
    I don't know what you're talking about!
[11:28] ---
    What?
[11:35] ---
    Vento, are you...?
[11:35] ---
    I get it. This is the Imaginary
    Number School District,
[11:38] ---
    Five-Element Agency in full view.
[11:40] ---
    I'll deal with small potatoes like you later.
[11:43] ---
    Mess with us, will you?
[11:45] ---
    You have such a low opinion of
    us that you'd go this far?!
[11:55] ---
    She disappeared.
[11:59] ---
    What is it that she saw?
[12:06] ---
    You're kidding... right?
[12:08] ---
    Deployment of Imaginary Number
    School District, Five-Element Agency
[12:12] ---
    commencing. Authenticating code
    for host individual, Last Order.
[12:16] ---
    Fuse=KAZAKIRI will now emerge.
[12:20] ---
    All personnel, please be
    ready for unexpected shocks.
[12:37] ---
    It couldn't be...
[12:39] ---
    An angel?!
[12:40] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:46] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:00] ---
    It's too dangerous to stay here.
    But then, where is Last Order?
[13:06] ---
    Damn it!
[13:11] ---
    Listen, I'm at the bridge,
    but Last Order isn't here. Any luck?
[13:17] ---
    What are you, an idiot?
[13:19] ---
    Don't believe the lie I told you.
[13:23] ---
    I should have the kid's
    location pinned down soon.
[13:26] ---
    At the very least, she's nowhere
    you can find running around.
[13:29] ---
    I'll take it from here.
    You go on home now.
[13:34] ---
    You see those
    wings of light too, right?
[13:39] ---
    I have to go stop that angel.
[13:42] ---
    So it really will be hard
    for me to work with you now.
[13:46] ---
    I don't care.
[13:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:51] ---
    Don't get yourself killed.
[13:52] ---
    Right back at you.
[14:02] ---
    So he's finally gone
    and used it, huh? That bastard.
[14:06] ---
    Does he really mean
    to exterminate the enemy?
[14:10] ---
    Signal confirmed
    from host individual #20001.
[14:13] ---
    Danger level 5 estimated.
    Misaka 10032 rejects.
[14:18] ---
    Rejection denied.
    Accepting signal on channels R, V, and Y.
[14:22] ---
    Heavy load on thought functions.
[14:25] ---
    Rejection denied.
[14:27] ---
    We will do all we can
    without opposing the order.
[14:31] ---
    If, as a result, it leads to us
    dispelling this critical situation...
[14:40] ---
    Thomas Platinaburg...
[14:43] ---
    One of the twelve members
    of the governing board...
[14:48] ---
    Operation code name "Angel."
    In order to quell an unknown threat,
[14:53] ---
    Last Order will be recovered,
    and a virus overwritten to counter it.
[14:58] ---
    They can't be serious.
[15:01] ---
    Which means, the kid must still be alive.
[15:06] ---
    Kihara, you bastard,
    where are you hiding?
[15:13] ---
    What's going on here?
[15:16] ---
    Hey!
[15:17] ---
    What are you doing out here?!
[15:19] ---
    Let me go!
[15:20] ---
    I have to go! Hyoka is over there!
[15:23] ---
    Hyoka?
[15:28] ---
    No, you can't Toma!
[15:30] ---
    Don't kill Hyoka!
[15:33] ---
    Index? Misaka?
[15:38] ---
    This way!
[15:39] ---
    Huh?!
[15:41] ---
    Please, Toma! Don't go over there!
[15:45] ---
    I'm sure the angel
    over there has to be Hyoka!
[15:49] ---
    That's... Kazakiri?
[15:51] ---
    I don't understand
    the theory behind it myself,
[15:54] ---
    but Toma, you're the
    last one who can get involved!
[15:57] ---
    If you touch Hyoka, she'll vanish!
[16:00] ---
    I'll figure out what to do
    about Hyoka, so you stay out of this!
[16:04] ---
    I can't.
[16:07] ---
    I'm going to stop her.
    Besides, she's not the only matter at hand.
[16:11] ---
    But Toma, if you use
    your right hand, Hyoka will die!
[16:15] ---
    I won't let her!
[16:17] ---
    I'm going in there
    to save her, not to kill her.
[16:21] ---
    Does that look like Kazakiri
    normally does? No, of course not!
[16:25] ---
    So we have to go help her, don't we?!
[16:28] ---
    Let's go, Index. I'm going to
    need your help to save Kazakiri.
[16:36] ---
    I don't know what this is about,
[16:39] ---
    but you've gotten yourself caught
    up in a huge problem again, huh?
[16:43] ---
    So, there's an acquaintance
    of yours at the center of that thing?
[16:47] ---
    Not an acquaintance. A friend.
[16:51] ---
    I just want to confirm one thing--
    they're not evil, right?
[16:55] ---
    Absolutely not. Like Index said,
    that's our friend in there.
[17:02] ---
    Your friend, huh?
[17:04] ---
    So, that means they're the bad guys, right?
[17:07] ---
    Well, so it goes.
[17:08] ---
    I'll do what I can.
[17:11] ---
    You're...
[17:12] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
[17:13] ---
    I'm starting without giving
    you the chance to stop me!
[17:20] ---
    W-What the...?
[17:24] ---
    Misaka!
[17:25] ---
    The penalty game!
[17:27] ---
    It's still in effect for the rest of the day.
[17:30] ---
    You have to go rescue your
    friend and come back here. Got it?
[17:35] ---
    We'll save her, all right!
    So don't you go getting killed, either!
[17:42] ---
    Right now, I am in an extremely foul mood!
[17:45] ---
    Say, Toma,
[17:47] ---
    you've been quiet this last
    while because of that magician, right?
[17:51] ---
    That's right. I want to know
    how that attack of hers works.
[17:55] ---
    And if there's a
    way to reverse it, that too.
[17:57] ---
    It's probably Divine Retribution.
[18:00] ---
    What did you say?
[18:01] ---
    A certain emotion is the key.
    Those who experience this emotion
[18:05] ---
    bring others down,
    regardless of location or range.
[18:08] ---
    That's why it's Divine Retribution.
[18:10] ---
    Toma, did this magician
    give any indications of that?
[18:14] ---
    Like she was inducing a specific
    emotion more than was necessary?
[18:18] ---
    Specific emotion?
[18:20] ---
    Disgust... No, hostility, or animosity.
[18:24] ---
    You mean, that's the key
    to making her magic work?
[18:28] ---
    Mm-hmm. No matter what stage it's at,
[18:30] ---
    I don't think they can ever
    recover until the magician decides
[18:33] ---
    that the Divine Retribution
    is no longer needed.
[18:35] ---
    Then, what about the
    way Kazakiri's angel works?
[18:39] ---
    Hey, she'll be all right, won't she?
[18:40] ---
    I don't know! There is some
    magic that appears to be similar,
[18:44] ---
    but all the parts she's using
    are crazy stuff I've never seen before.
[18:49] ---
    At the very least, I do know
    that the angel that's over there
[18:52] ---
    and the core that is directing
    it are in two different places.
[18:57] ---
    Kazakiri is on the
    side of science, after all.
[19:03] ---
    What is it, Toma?
[19:05] ---
    Damn, she's not answering.
[19:08] ---
    Is there anyone besides
    Miss Komoe that would understand this?
[19:14] ---
    Misaka!
[19:16] ---
    W-What?!
[19:18] ---
    I want to stop that angel somehow.
    You're the only one who can help!
[19:23] ---
    Hey, Misaka, did you get shot?!
[19:25] ---
    N-No, I didn't.
[19:27] ---
    You know, having me think
    about something else while fighting--
[19:30] ---
    you really are ruthless.
[19:32] ---
    All right, Index, anything
    you don't understand, ask her.
[19:36] ---
    Huh?
[19:38] ---
    Ha-ha, hey, this is awesome.
    What the hell is it?
[19:42] ---
    Damn, you are off your rocker, Aleister.
[19:45] ---
    Does the man even know what reason is?
[19:48] ---
    What kind of scientist is
    it that calls themselves a scientist,
[19:51] ---
    and then disavows science?
[19:53] ---
    Look, you guys!
[19:54] ---
    Since when was
    the Bible a pop-up book--
[19:56] ---
    Huh?
[20:02] ---
    Ki-ha-ra!!
[20:08] ---
    Go on, shoot straight.
[20:11] ---
    Otherwise,
    you're just wasting everyone's time!
[20:21] ---
    D-Don't move!
[20:34] ---
    That was so cool!
    I think I'm falling in love, Accelerator!
[20:40] ---
    Now then,
[20:41] ---
    it's time to scrap you,
[20:44] ---
    you son of a bitch!
[21:02] ---
    Kazakiri...
[21:03] ---
    Kazakiri!!
[21:07] ---
    Kazakiri!
[21:13] ---
    Kaza--
[21:17] ---
    Damn it!
[21:20] ---
    Well, well...
[21:22] ---
    Were the two heinous sinners
    about to lick each other's wounds?
[21:27] ---
    And here I was planning
    to save you until afterward,
[21:31] ---
    but you show up
    here just to be killed.
[21:36] ---
    You don't want
    to witness any more misery,
[21:38] ---
    so you want to be
    the first one I crush, is that it?
[21:41] ---
    I won't let you hurt Kazakiri.
[21:42] ---
    As a member of the Right Seat of God,
[21:46] ---
    I cannot turn a blind eye to that monster.
[21:49] ---
    That thing is a mass of sacrilege,
    brought about by science,
[21:53] ---
    sneering at everyone
    who holds up the cross!
[21:56] ---
    You take that back!
[21:59] ---
    Okay, fine. I'll be nice and kill you.
[22:02] ---
    Together with that fallen angel there!
[22:05] ---
    Like I'd let you. She's already
    going through all this as it is,
[22:09] ---
    and now, you want her to die
    at the hands of someone like you,
[22:13] ---
    who treats her like she's a monster?
[22:15] ---
    You can kiss my ass!
[22:18] ---
    What the hell do you take my friend for?!
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone
[22:52] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around
[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again
[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk
[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that
[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    The fight on every front intensifies.
[23:59] ---
    What is the answer
    Index derives amidst the chaos
[24:01] ---
    created by magic and science?
[24:03] ---
    Next time,
    "The Divine Retribution Spell."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

    #22 The Divine Retribution Spell
[02:04] ---
    I'm down to sixty
    seconds of control time.
[02:06] ---
    As long as I kill this guy,
    it will all be over.
[02:10] ---
    I can't go back
    down the path of light now.
[02:13] ---
    So just think about taking Kihara
    down to hell with you now!
[02:23] ---
    You dirty punk,
[02:24] ---
    how dare you come
    stand before me like this!
[02:29] ---
    What's the matter, kid?
[02:31] ---
    I thought you were
    here to save the girl.
[02:34] ---
    Damn you...
[02:35] ---
    Tell me, do you think you're
    super cool to be doing this?
[02:41] ---
    Facing off all alone
    against some giant evil,
[02:44] ---
    dashing in to rescue
    the pitiful, captive little girl?
[02:49] ---
    Do you think that makes
    up for everything else
[02:51] ---
    you've done in your life?
[02:54] ---
    You'll wallow in
    mud your whole life.
[02:58] ---
    Damn it all,
[03:00] ---
    I know that.
[03:02] ---
    I know I'm stuck in
    the mud my whole life.
[03:04] ---
    That's not what I'm after.
[03:08] ---
    You and I are the only
    ones who have to go to hell.
[03:12] ---
    Don't go dragging
    the kid down along with us!
[03:16] ---
    You filthy bastard!
[04:00] ---
    You're starting to become a pain.
[04:03] ---
    Swinging around
    that vile right hand of yours,
[04:05] ---
    protecting that nauseating
    angel like you are.
[04:07] ---
    How much are you going to crack
    me up before you're happy?!
[04:11] ---
    Oh, come off it!
[04:13] ---
    What, you think your point of
    view is the only one in the world?
[04:17] ---
    Why won't you accept that there
    are others who aren't like you?!
[04:23] ---
    I hate science!
[04:26] ---
    I detest science!
[04:33] ---
    I hate this sort of science!
[04:39] ---
    I detest the kind of science
    that just let my brother die!
[04:50] ---
    Someone's there?
[04:53] ---
    Hold on!
[04:55] ---
    What?
[05:03] ---
    Kazakiri!
[05:09] ---
    This is all science is!
    And you're one of them!
[05:13] ---
    You don't find that disgusting?!
[05:18] ---
    Ha! When your battery dies,
    you're just an immobile piece of junk.
[05:32] ---
    What do you think about how
[05:35] ---
    you fought back that squad of--
[05:45] ---
    Why, you...!
[05:59] ---
    What... the...?
[06:18] ---
    Kazakiri...
[06:32] ---
    Y-You hypocrite!
    What do you think you're doing?!
[06:40] ---
    This is too much!
[06:43] ---
    Day after day, I keep
    saying it's "just my luck,"
[06:46] ---
    but given all this,
    I'm plenty fortunate, you know?
[06:49] ---
    Yeah?
[06:51] ---
    W-What are...
    What are you even talking about?
[06:55] ---
    Just you wait, Kazakiri. Index is
    taking action right now to save you.
[07:02] ---
    She is, after all, your friend.
    She is going to come through.
[07:09] ---
    Just relax.
[07:10] ---
    In the meantime, I'll make sure...
[07:14] ---
    ...to keep things in check here!
[07:26] ---
    Don't you screw with me,
    you gimpy bastard!
[07:36] ---
    Wha--? Damn!
[07:50] ---
    You filthy little punk!
[08:01] ---
    Mess with me, will you?!
[08:06] ---
    Damn it, let go!
[08:10] ---
    Damn, that's right.
[08:12] ---
    If he can't use his ability,
[08:15] ---
    then that means my
    "countermeasure" doesn't work anymore.
[08:18] ---
    Damn. Just killing him isn't enough.
[08:22] ---
    I have to take the meaning
    of his death away from him.
[08:25] ---
    But how do I do that?
[08:33] ---
    Look at this!
[08:35] ---
    It's the original script of the
    virus that was input into her brain!
[08:39] ---
    Without this, there's not
    a chance of saving the girl!
[08:48] ---
    In your face! Kick yourself
    over that, you filthy punk!
[08:54] ---
    I've destroyed everything
    that is most important to you!
[08:59] ---
    There isn't anything
    you can make right anymore!
[09:04] ---
    And now, it's your turn.
[09:08] ---
    Start questioning whether
    or not there's a heaven,
[09:10] ---
    or whatever other drivel
    you want to now!
[09:16] ---
    Huh?
[09:18] ---
    There she is!
[09:21] ---
    It's her!
[09:26] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:50] ---
    I've got her.
[09:51] ---
    Vento avoided letting me grab
    onto her hammer with my right hand.
[09:56] ---
    Which means that
    it can cancel the thing out.
[10:00] ---
    So then...
[10:02] ---
    It looks like letting you get too
    close doesn't gain me anything.
[10:06] ---
    As long as I don't have to
    worry about anything around me,
[10:09] ---
    I can go all-out, too.
[10:11] ---
    Ha! You almost make it sound
    like that monster is helping you out!
[10:15] ---
    Not "sound like,"
    she really is helping me out!
[10:19] ---
    Dream on!
[10:24] ---
    This is the best you can do!
[10:26] ---
    Don't go selling the
    Right Seat of God short!
[10:39] ---
    Damn!
[10:49] ---
    Vento!
[10:53] ---
    What's the idiotic outcry for?
[10:57] ---
    You've thrown in with
    the side of science, right?
[11:00] ---
    With the appearance of that angel,
[11:03] ---
    a coercive spell pressure
    took effect over this whole region.
[11:07] ---
    It's causing what might be
    called a magic circulatory failure.
[11:11] ---
    Aleister sure came
    up with a repulsive trick!
[11:14] ---
    You dumbass!
[11:16] ---
    What possible reason could
    you have to fight through all this?!
[11:18] ---
    Don't feed me that hollow line!
[11:23] ---
    Yikes... I couldn't dodge that...
[11:32] ---
    Ha, now you need rescuing, don't you?
[11:36] ---
    Forgive me, but I'm pressed for time, too.
[11:38] ---
    I'll see to it that you
    get sent to the hospital!
[11:40] ---
    Shut up! I'll never again
    turn myself over to science!
[11:45] ---
    My younger brother
    was killed through science.
[11:48] ---
    What?
[11:50] ---
    It was because of a glitch
    at an amusement park attraction.
[11:55] ---
    They said that scientifically,
    there was no chance of any trouble.
[11:59] ---
    It had multiple layers of safety devices,
[12:01] ---
    and a fully-automated
    speed control program.
[12:04] ---
    They laid out all these
    reassuring words for us,
[12:07] ---
    but the truth is,
    they didn't do any good at all!
[12:10] ---
    You mean...
[12:12] ---
    The same was true when we
    were taken to the hospital afterward.
[12:16] ---
    They were unable to find
    enough blood for two transfusions,
[12:18] ---
    so the doctors said they
    could only save one of our lives.
[12:22] ---
    My brother said, "Please save my sister."
[12:27] ---
    And so, only I survived.
[12:31] ---
    Surprised?
[12:33] ---
    How can a member of the Right
    Seat of God fight over such a reason?
[12:37] ---
    But you see, I despise science
    so much that I will even use
[12:40] ---
    the Right Seat
    of God to bring it down.
[12:44] ---
    Science not only
    deprives us of our way,
[12:47] ---
    it even takes the Bible, which we
    take to be the means of salvation,
[12:50] ---
    and tries to smear it
    with blasphemy such as this.
[12:53] ---
    This is what the essence of science is!
    All it does is hamper us!
[12:59] ---
    That's why I hate and detest science!
[13:02] ---
    If science is as cold as that,
    then I'll smash it all to pieces,
[13:07] ---
    and fill the world
    with a warmer set of laws!
[13:11] ---
    That's my duty, for having
    squandered my brother's future!
[13:16] ---
    You've got to be kidding me.
[13:17] ---
    What?
[13:19] ---
    The hell science killed your brother.
[13:21] ---
    Of course those doctors never
    wanted your brother to die to begin with.
[13:26] ---
    Of course they wanted to save both of you!
[13:29] ---
    That goes for the attraction
    where you had the accident, too.
[13:32] ---
    It's not like they were
    running it to hurt people.
[13:35] ---
    They wanted to bring
    smiles to people's faces!
[13:37] ---
    Shut up!
[13:39] ---
    Your brother knew exactly the
    situation he had been placed in,
[13:43] ---
    but he still wanted
    you to survive, didn't he?
[13:47] ---
    Do you think someone
    like that would say
[13:50] ---
    that he wanted to
    take revenge against science?
[13:53] ---
    Someone who wanted more
    than anyone else for you to be happy?!
[13:57] ---
    I told you to shut up!
[14:02] ---
    You think the view of a
    little child on the verge of death
[14:04] ---
    carries any value?!
[14:06] ---
    If there wasn't enough blood,
    they should have given it to my brother!
[14:10] ---
    If they had to,
    they could have used my blood, too!
[14:13] ---
    Yes, it did have value.
[14:16] ---
    It's precisely because
    your brother made his decision
[14:19] ---
    that you are here, alive, now, right?
[14:21] ---
    So then it did have value!
[14:24] ---
    You're the one who has
    to understand the value it had
[14:27] ---
    more than anyone, aren't you?
[14:30] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
    You think that's any comfort?!
[14:33] ---
    I consumed his whole future!
[14:35] ---
    Could you shout out the same thing
[14:37] ---
    to someone else in
    the exact same situation?!
[14:39] ---
    Because I couldn't!
[14:41] ---
    That's why I refute it!
    The life you're living is wrong!
[14:46] ---
    Your brother did the most amazing
    thing in the world back there.
[14:50] ---
    And you're here disgracing that?!
[14:52] ---
    Are you going to waste what
    he said by going to your grave,
[14:54] ---
    hating science the whole time?!
[15:00] ---
    Hmph, that's a laugh.
[15:03] ---
    I'm the one who chose this path.
[15:05] ---
    There's no way that you,
    who just heard the story right here,
[15:08] ---
    can twist what happened so easily!
[15:25] ---
    The crisis that both
    Academy City and Kazakiri are in...
[15:29] ---
    ...as well as the hatred for
    science that holds Vento captive...
[15:33] ---
    ...are illusions that I'm now
    going to smash all at once!
[15:37] ---
    Compared to what your brother did,
    this may not be any big deal,
[15:41] ---
    but it will save you just a little bit.
    Now go back and start over!
[15:46] ---
    You big dumbass!
[16:07] ---
    Those men from before.
    Do they have something to do with her?
[16:12] ---
    Huh? Heh...
[16:17] ---
    Hey!
[16:19] ---
    Hey, what do you want?
    I'm working here.
[16:26] ---
    Hey, just a minute!
[16:27] ---
    Don't go trying anything with her!
[16:31] ---
    This girl is at the
    core of everything, all right.
[16:33] ---
    Based on angel architecture,
    but made of formless telesma,
[16:37] ---
    all tucked away inside
    a human-shaped pouch.
[16:40] ---
    But I don't know how
    to move forward from here.
[16:46] ---
    Short-hair, a question!
[16:47] ---
    You call me Miss Mikoto!
[16:49] ---
    So, what's your question?
[16:53] ---
    What's an electronic network
    that utilizes brainwaves?
[16:57] ---
    Huh? Let's see...
    Electricity-generating espers
[17:01] ---
    can use identical brainwaves
    to construct an EM network, I guess.
[17:05] ---
    Then, what does it mean
    that there's an AIM diffusion field
[17:10] ---
    spread out across Academy City?
[17:12] ---
    It's the power field naturally
    generated by Academy City's espers.
[17:18] ---
    So she's saying that there's
    a special power that fills the city,
[17:21] ---
    and that it's this girl that administers it.
[17:24] ---
    By restricting her mind,
    they're just twisting that special power
[17:28] ---
    to create the "angel." In that case...
[17:31] ---
    All we have to do is
    untie the "knot" inside her head.
[17:35] ---
    But to turn that idea into
    a specific measure will take...
[17:42] ---
    ...a song.
[17:44] ---
    It conveys things
    better than simply words.
[17:45] ---
    You filthy punk! I'll show you!
[17:47] ---
    Using rhythm and tone,
    we can communicate on multiple levels.
[17:51] ---
    Hold on, you mean you can do
    something in such an analog way?
[17:54] ---
    Yes I can. A prayer will get through.
[17:58] ---
    Our prayer is going to save them all.
[18:01] ---
    This girl,
[18:03] ---
    and Hyoka, and Academy City.
[18:09] ---
    What's with you, you bastard?!
[18:11] ---
    Suddenly starting to move on me!
[18:43] ---
    Ki... hara...
[18:51] ---
    Kihara!!
[18:57] ---
    Ha, this should be good.
[18:59] ---
    Yeah, of course. If you
    were to go down as easily as that,
[19:03] ---
    it wouldn't be any fun.
[19:05] ---
    I'm glad you're being so
    service-minded, Accelerator.
[19:09] ---
    I've been pissed off at
    you this whole time, as well.
[19:13] ---
    I'm gonna flatten you good
    with my fists before killing you!
[19:22] ---
    That doesn't hurt me, kid!
[19:26] ---
    All right, I've found my groove.
[19:28] ---
    Ha-ha! I'm gonna make
    this a little more interesting,
[19:32] ---
    so show me a little more spunk!
[19:56] ---
    What's happening?
[19:57] ---
    What are those black
    wings growing out of your back?
[20:04] ---
    You bastard... Where
    are you getting this strength?
[20:08] ---
    You've acquired a new clearance...
[20:10] ---
    What value did you enter
    in for your Personal Reality?
[20:15] ---
    Hey, don't tell me that power...
    is of the angel variety!
[20:22] ---
    Do you realize...
[20:24] ---
    ...what's behind you, you monster?
[20:27] ---
    "Kill..."
[20:27] ---
    Kill...

    What about Kazakiri?!
[22:22] ---
    Kazakiri!
[22:26] ---
    If I touch Kazakiri now, it might
    obliterate the real Kazakiri, too.
[22:42] ---
    Who are you?
[22:43] ---
    Excuse me.
    I have business with the girl here.
[22:47] ---
    I asked you who you are!
[22:49] ---
    Acqua of the Rear.
[22:52] ---
    Like Vento, I am one
    of the Right Seat of God.
[22:57] ---
    Hmph, you need not worry.
    This is all for today; I'm heading back.
[23:02] ---
    Let Vento go!
[23:04] ---
    Hmph, if I were to let Vento go now,
[23:08] ---
    and she were captured
    by the side of science,
[23:10] ---
    she would undoubtedly be executed.
[23:14] ---
    You can have that.
[23:17] ---
    It is already destroyed by
    your right hand. It is just junk now.
[23:22] ---
    Vento can no longer use divine retribution.
[23:24] ---
    The people she neutralized
    should recover soon.
[23:28] ---
    Rest easy now,
[23:29] ---
    knowing that you have preserved
    the tranquility of Academy City.
[23:33] ---
    You think I'm just going to accept that?!
[23:36] ---
    I'm going to let you in on one thing.
[23:40] ---
    I am a saint. If you
    rush in blindly to fight me,
[23:44] ---
    you will shorten your life.
[23:46] ---
    Hey, wait!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
    
[23:56] ---
    One battle ends.
[23:57] ---
    But the footfalls of another,
    unprecedented battle
[24:00] ---
    can clearly be heard
    closing in--those of a war.
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Prewar."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.

    I'm always running after you
[00:35] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[00:36] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[00:36] ---
    You are my ideal
[00:39] ---
    You are me
[00:42] ---
    There was a bird that could
    not fly any farther than this
[00:48] ---
    It rebuked the blue skies
    on fine, flawless wings
[00:54] ---
    This place is not that bad
[00:57] ---
    That sky is not that high
[00:59] ---
    This place is not that good
[01:06] ---
    Afraid of the speed
    it would feel in its body
[01:12] ---
    Everybody has a chance,
[01:14] ---
    but they cannot go any farther
[01:17] ---
    The truth is they
    cannot take flight
[01:20] ---
    The truth is they
    want to take flight
[01:23] ---
    Right now, beyond the wish
    I want to make come true
[01:29] ---
    you shine
[01:30] ---
    In my eyes I picture you
[01:36] ---
    "Standing in the future,
    always strong,"
[01:39] ---
    and that "you" is me
[01:42] ---
    You are still blindingly bright
[01:48] ---
    but in the same spirit,
    I reach out my hand
[01:51] ---
    and the "I" who I am will
    someday grab hold to become
[01:55] ---
    the you that I will be
[02:00] ---
    "#23 Prewar"
[02:06] ---
    Kazakiri!
[02:14] ---
    Kazakiri!
[02:16] ---
    Kazakiri!
[02:17] ---
    We used to take the smiles we always shared for granted
[02:22] ---
    Are you coming around?
[02:25] ---
    Thank goodness. Are you all right?
[02:25] ---
    as we walked together in the sunlight shining through the trees
[02:28] ---
    This... isn't right...
[02:34] ---
    How did things end up like this?
[02:37] ---
    Just hearing the sound of the word "friends,"
[02:37] ---
    This is all because of me, and yet, why am I the only one unhurt?
[02:42] ---
    If I can't stay with everyone else, then why was I even born?
[02:45] ---
    I thought you would be at my side forever
[02:49] ---
    Thanks to the power of the espers, I can finally exist as a freak,
[02:52] ---
    no matter what happened
[02:54] ---
    and now that that girl was nice enough to call me her friend,
[02:56] ---
    Because the feelings we always shared
[02:58] ---
    I thought I had become at least a little bit more human...
[03:01] ---
    ...but I can't take it anymore!
[03:04] ---
    Please hit me, and put an end to all of this!
[03:06] ---
    are still alive here, I believe in you
[03:11] ---
    Why...
[03:13] ---
    Why are you making that face?
[03:15] ---
    Because I'm relieved.
[03:19] ---
    I don't know why I have this power within my right hand.
[03:19] ---
    It's my desire to see you again that makes me stronger
[03:22] ---
    But if it means obliterating one of my friends,
[03:27] ---
    I'd rather chop off my right hand right here.
[03:29] ---
    through whatever darkness or persistent rains that may come
[03:31] ---
    Why...?
[03:34] ---
    You protected the others, right? You tried to keep everyone safe.
[03:39] ---
    Is that any different from the person you picture yourself as?
[03:39] ---
    If my voice will be carried on
[03:43] ---
    Hold your head high, and look ahead.
[03:44] ---
    the wind and my prayer will get through
[03:46] ---
    After fighting like you did for the sake of complete strangers,
[03:48] ---
    and managing to pull everyone through,
[03:50] ---
    then I'll pray until I am able to get you back
[03:52] ---
    there isn't a single reason to hang your head down.
[03:58] ---
    I'm going to go check around to see if anyone needs any first aid.
[04:02] ---
    After that, let's head home.
[04:05] ---
    There's no telling when
    you're going to vanish on us.
[04:08] ---
    Before that happens, we need to
    let you and Index meet up.
[04:13] ---
    And don't go asking why.
[04:16] ---
    It's because we're friends, of course.
[04:19] ---
    A-Are you all right?!
[04:21] ---
    That stuff from your back was
    a lot like telesma, but what was it?
[04:26] ---
    Hey! What ended
    up happening over there?!
[04:29] ---
    It looks like those huge
    wings have disappeared, too.
[04:31] ---
    If you need any help,
    I'll head over there.
[04:34] ---
    I'm going to go call a doctor.
[04:35] ---
    Hey, hold on!
[04:42] ---
    Accelerator, I would
    like a word. Is that all right?
[04:46] ---
    Huh?
[04:47] ---
    Telepathy? And I have a small
    amount of computing power back, too.
[04:52] ---
    That's correct. I made arrangements
    for several telepathic espers.
[04:56] ---
    What do you want?
[04:58] ---
    I would like to speak to you
    about the series of disturbances you made,
[05:00] ---
    as well as concerning the damage
    that Academy City has suffered.
[05:05] ---
    Are you going to slice me
    to pieces for research material?
[05:09] ---
    That is one path we could take.
[05:12] ---
    But how would you like
    to work together with us?
[05:16] ---
    Is Academy City trying
    to start a war or something?
[05:19] ---
    I cannot answer that.
[05:20] ---
    I see. Then there's
    only one thing I can say.
[05:25] ---
    Get bent.
[05:27] ---
    This is a critical moment
    for Academy City.
[05:30] ---
    We want to try to oppose it,
    and we want you to work with us.
[05:35] ---
    Supposing that Academy City
    is completely wiped out,
[05:38] ---
    is there any other place for us espers?
[05:41] ---
    And, just as with other skills...
[05:43] ---
    Tch, just tell me one thing.
[05:46] ---
    What is that?
[05:47] ---
    The name of your current ringleader.
[05:50] ---
    I'm taking the head of the person
    who treated the kid like this.
[05:54] ---
    It doesn't matter to me,
    but he will just be a scapegoat.
[05:58] ---
    You don't say.
[06:00] ---
    So, what will it be?
[06:04] ---
    Suit yourself.
[06:06] ---
    A fine answer.
[06:08] ---
    I look forward to
    working with you, new guy.
[06:16] ---
    Terra?
[06:17] ---
    Yes, that's right. Terra of
    the Left. Are you finished there?
[06:21] ---
    Vento has had it.
    I just recovered her,
[06:25] ---
    and had the detached squad in
    Academy City's outskirts stand down.
[06:28] ---
    Good work.
[06:30] ---
    What's our next move? If you like,
[06:32] ---
    I've got no problem with
    lopping off the target's head.
[06:37] ---
    Let's not do that.
[06:38] ---
    I think it's better to wait
    until after we hear your full story,
[06:41] ---
    then reconsider how we're
    going to bring down Academy City.
[06:45] ---
    How we'll bring down Academy City?
[06:48] ---
    You don't like that idea?
[06:50] ---
    Cheap tricks aren't my thing.
[06:52] ---
    Defeating a foe head-on is
    obviously the easier way to do it.
[06:57] ---
    Do you think they
    might still have some use?
[07:00] ---
    Like, say, that fallen angel.
[07:02] ---
    I do not approve of
    plundering the battlefield.
[07:05] ---
    Leave it to a knight to
    say one thing and do another.
[07:08] ---
    I'm no knight. I'm a
    has-been mercenary miscreant.
[07:13] ---
    Well, whatever, please
    bring Vento back here at once.
[07:17] ---
    Those are the instructions
    from Fiamma of the Right.
[07:22] ---
    Acknowledged.
[07:24] ---
    Well then, I wonder if
    Academy City really is as frail
[07:27] ---
    as you think it is, Terra of the Left.
[07:33] ---
    Good morning, Aleister.
    There's something I have to say to you.
[07:38] ---
    What is it?
[07:40] ---
    I want you to stop treating my
    patients as your toys.
[07:44] ---
    Hmm... And if I don't, what will you do?
[07:47] ---
    Those are my patients.
    And I am their doctor. Do you follow me?
[07:54] ---
    Having had your life saved by me once...
[07:57] ---
    Do you regret doing that?
[07:59] ---
    Is that a serious question?
[08:02] ---
    I'm not going to stop.
    I am already past that point.
[08:08] ---
    This is goodbye, my kind, kind enemy.
[08:16] ---
    Lunchtime!
[08:17] ---
    Let's buy something, quick!
[08:19] ---
    I'm getting a yakisoba sandwich!
[08:23] ---
    Now see here! No running in the hallways!
[08:28] ---
    Heh...
[08:28] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[08:30] ---
    This is an out-of-the-usual day.
[08:32] ---
    It looks like you brought
    something yummy today, too.
[08:35] ---
    I'm not sharing anything for free.
    If you want some, let's trade.
[08:39] ---
    Himegami, I'm impressed at
    how you can still fix a bento lunch
[08:42] ---
    day in and day out.
[08:44] ---
    Oh, your broth is
    leaking into your rice zone.
[08:50] ---
    H-Having the broth seep in
    like this makes it surprisingly good.
[08:56] ---
    Sour grapes?
[08:59] ---
    No! And if you're going to
    pull that face, try some taro root!
[09:08] ---
    Hmm, I guess it's not bad.
[09:15] ---
    A-Are you all right, Himegami?!
[09:18] ---
    Huh? What? You want me to rub your back?
[09:24] ---
    How's that, Himegami?
[09:27] ---
    Okay, should I do it harder?
[09:40] ---
    What are you up to?
[09:42] ---
    Fukiyose...
[09:46] ---
    Why do you always eat that
    bland-looking bread, anyway?
[09:50] ---
    Hey! It tastes just fine!
[09:53] ---
    "Ability-boosting bread, with twelve
    nutrients for energizing the brain."
[10:01] ---
    Want some of my taro root?
[10:05] ---
    Just so you know, I'm wearing
    a front-hooking bra today.
[10:10] ---
    Seriously?
[10:12] ---
    Once the city's entrance
    controls are tightened,
[10:15] ---
    they said we might
    not get any more field trips.
[10:16] ---
    I wonder if this affects
    the Ichihanaran Festival, too.
[10:19] ---
    Oh, yeah, the Antiskill teachers
    are working on the precautions,
[10:23] ---
    so they say we may not
    have to take any midterms.
[10:25] ---
    Really?
[10:26] ---
    A war, huh?
[10:28] ---
    It's just too much,
    you know? I mean, if a war starts,
[10:33] ---
    the price of meats
    and vegetables will go up, right?
[10:36] ---
    Not to mention conventional oil.
[10:42] ---
    Hey, Kamijo!
[10:44] ---
    What are you being so quiet about?
[10:47] ---
    O-Oh, nothing! I was just thinking,
[10:49] ---
    best if we have some stew pot
    or whatever now, while we still can.
[10:52] ---
    Just so we won't regret
    not having eaten it later on.
[10:55] ---
    Y-Yeah, maybe...
[10:58] ---
    Huh? Kami, are you
    having a stew pot tonight?
[11:01] ---
    Yeah! If it's sukiyaki you want,
    I know this great, cheap place!
[11:05] ---
    What's this? You guys
    going someplace tonight?
[11:07] ---
    We can't let you go hogging
    this tasty restaurant all to yourselves.
[11:10] ---
    Wait, why are we suddenly going out?
[11:12] ---
    Warming up for the Ichihanaran Festival?
[11:15] ---
    Majority rule! Majority rule!
[11:16] ---
    Huh? When did the class decide
    we were all going out for supper? Huh?
[11:20] ---
    M-Miss Fukiyose?
[11:22] ---
    Good grief!
[11:28] ---
    Fukiyose with a deluxe forehead?!
[11:31] ---
    "Tonight's stew pot"
[11:31] ---
    Okay, I'll look after this for us, so everyone cast your vote!
[11:37] ---
    Miss Tsukuyomi, I heard you
    had taken in yet another runaway girl.
[11:42] ---
    I've been kind of lonesome
    since Himegami moved into the dorms.
[11:46] ---
    but now that Musujime
    is here, everything is fine.
[11:50] ---
    The ones who were staying
    with me just heartlessly moved out.
[11:57] ---
    It's decided!
[11:58] ---
    Tonight, it's decided that
    we're all going out for sukiyaki!
[12:02] ---
    I'm going to go bring things under control!
[12:06] ---
    See here! What is all this commotion?!
[12:09] ---
    Ah, Miss Komoe! Want to eat with us?
[12:10] ---
    Nice. Always some nuttiness going on.
[12:16] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:19] ---
    Okay then...
[12:21] ---
    Let's eat!
[12:34] ---
    We're getting more
[12:36] ---
    "If war breaks out, Academy
    City is not safe, so return my child"
[12:40] ---
    requests from a lot of the parents.
[12:43] ---
    Huh? So things have gotten that far?
[12:46] ---
    Kamijo! What are you
    beating that egg so slowly for?!
[12:50] ---
    Huh?
[12:51] ---
    Gah! I can't stand it anymore!
    Let me have that!
[12:54] ---
    Wah! What a control freak!
[12:56] ---
    Kami...
[12:58] ---
    From what I saw on the menu,
    the prices still haven't changed yet.
[13:02] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[13:04] ---
    Here!
[13:05] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[13:07] ---
    But then, the price for them
    to stock up could be increasing.
[13:10] ---
    So you're saying,
    eat up while we can, right? Yoink!
[13:15] ---
    Ah! You're just taking all the meat!
[13:17] ---
    Toma! I need more meat!
[13:20] ---
    ♪ Meat! Meat! Meat! Meat! Meat! ♪
[13:20] ---
    Huh? I haven't eaten a single bite, and you've already...
[13:30] ---
    War, huh?
[13:33] ---
    I've got to do something.
[13:35] ---
    Kami...
[13:41] ---
    If you think the war that's about
    to break out is all because of you,
[13:45] ---
    you're way off.
[13:48] ---
    All this time, you've been
    protecting those around you.
[13:52] ---
    I guess, maybe.
[13:54] ---
    The war is happening because
    those behind the scenes screwed up.
[14:00] ---
    It's starting.
[14:02] ---
    Yeah.
[14:03] ---
    The scale of fighting
    will change. From now on,
[14:07] ---
    passing through each phase the
    way we've done up to now will be hard.
[14:11] ---
    Yeah, right. Or more like,
[14:14] ---
    the fact that we've made it
    through up to now is miraculous.
[14:19] ---
    Everyone has been carrying me up to now.
[14:22] ---
    I've left everything dealing
    with a world I know nothing about
[14:24] ---
    up to someone else.
    But I can't do that anymore.
[14:30] ---
    I'm going to have to step inside
    a new world I've never seen before.
[14:37] ---
    Tsuchimikado, I've made a decision.
[14:41] ---
    Kami...
[14:43] ---
    Yeah. I'm...
[14:47] ---
    I'm going to start studying English!
[14:50] ---
    I've tried up as high
    as daily conversation level 3,
[14:54] ---
    but English is just so hard, you know?
[14:57] ---
    Why does his next phase have to be English?
[15:00] ---
    Everyone else has been
    using Japanese with me up to now,
[15:03] ---
    but I can't let them
    keep coddling me like this.
[15:06] ---
    So, what it comes down to is...
[15:14] ---
    W-What was that for...?
[15:21] ---
    Drill number 42, begin.
[15:27] ---
    Drill number 43, begin.
[15:34] ---
    What do you want, Mr. Dress-up?
[15:38] ---
    I was trying to cover up my
    presence, in my own little way.
[15:42] ---
    But it looks like
    I still have much to learn.
[15:46] ---
    Unabara Mitsuki, was it?
[15:49] ---
    Yes, though both the name and face are fakes.
[15:53] ---
    Have you settled on a weapon?
[15:54] ---
    None of them feels quite right.
[15:57] ---
    You can bring in guns from all over the world,
[15:59] ---
    and I still may not find one.
[16:01] ---
    What if you made a list of
    gear you can use your ability with?
[16:05] ---
    Stop trying to be such a know-it-all.
[16:08] ---
    You can't rely on this thing.
[16:10] ---
    According to GROUP's engineering report,
[16:12] ---
    they have extended your
    ability usage time to thirty minutes.
[16:17] ---
    GROUP, huh?
[16:19] ---
    You're dissatisfied with
    their tuning on your electrode?
[16:21] ---
    Ha! Whether it's thirty minutes or three days,
[16:25] ---
    once some glitch comes up, it's all over.
[16:27] ---
    If you can't fight because of
    a malfunction, you don't survive.
[16:33] ---
    Is that all you wanted?
[16:35] ---
    GROUP has received a work
    order from the governing board.
[16:41] ---
    Academy City...
[16:43] ---
    ...is about to line up against
    the Roman Orthodox Church.
[16:46] ---
    As a result, the truth of the matter
[16:48] ---
    is that the city's internal
    defenses are thinning out.
[16:51] ---
    We are going to mop up one
    force who would take advantage of that.
[16:57] ---
    I heard that I was going to
    have to fill in for that bastard Kihara,
[17:01] ---
    but I never imagined this kind
    of two-bit job would come to me.
[17:05] ---
    While it may fall on you, you *are
    *the one who came here on your own.
[17:11] ---
    Listen here, kid! Let me tell you one thing!
[17:14] ---
    A human life is frail!
[17:17] ---
    Frail enough that one touch
    of my fingertip could destroy it!
[17:21] ---
    So be a little more considerate.
[17:23] ---
    Otherwise, I might break
    something you don't want broken.
[17:27] ---
    I will be more mindful.
[17:30] ---
    May I continue now?
[17:33] ---
    Suit yourself.
[17:34] ---
    Your target will be Skill Out.
[17:38] ---
    You may be more
    familiar with them than I am.
[17:40] ---
    Yeah. They're an armed gang
    made up of a bunch of Level 0s.
[17:45] ---
    Yes. They currently appear
    to be putting together some toys.
[17:49] ---
    Toys?
[17:50] ---
    Rockets, made up of hollowed-out
    wood packed with explosives.
[17:54] ---
    Much like the bo-hiya fire arrows
    tested during the Edo period.
[17:58] ---
    They've been conducting operations
    all over for the past few days.
[18:03] ---
    Taking abandoned bikes and
    placing them along emergency routes,
[18:08] ---
    and blocking up sewage drains
    around VIP facilities with garbage.
[18:13] ---
    Not the kinds of things that
    rise to the level of security problems.
[18:17] ---
    What, does GROUP now take
    contracts to deal with kids' pranks, too?
[18:23] ---
    However, there have
    now been over 20,000 incidents.
[18:27] ---
    When there is an orange or red alert,
[18:29] ---
    they will be detected as errors.
[18:32] ---
    Is that what the fire arrows are for?
[18:34] ---
    If the server goes down due
    to a large number of error reports,
[18:38] ---
    Skill Out can run wild without
    Antiskill coming after them.
[18:41] ---
    Well, they could always
    cancel the alert, right?
[18:44] ---
    If we weren't currently
    in the middle of a war, maybe.
[18:47] ---
    Nothing but enemies,
    both within and without, huh?
[18:51] ---
    Sounds like quite a few people
    have a beef with Academy City.
[18:56] ---
    It is our job to somehow
    deal with such people.
[19:00] ---
    Your target's name is Komaba Ritoku.
[19:04] ---
    He is currently the leader
    in charge of Skill Out,
[19:07] ---
    as well as the brains.
[19:09] ---
    Dispose of him quickly, and we
    can nip Skill Out's plans in the bud.
[19:22] ---
    Why a garbage truck?
[19:24] ---
    They are all sorts of handy.
[19:26] ---
    You can even use
    it to dispose of the body.
[19:28] ---
    A garbage truck trolling around
    for the bodies of scumbags?
[19:32] ---
    There's nothing funny about that.
[19:39] ---
    He will return for recovery in
    twenty minutes, as planned. Be careful.
[19:47] ---
    Ugh, win or lose, I've still
    gotta ride around in that thing?
[19:52] ---
    Alive or dead being
    a whole separate matter...
[19:56] ---
    Little tricks for the security robots,
[19:58] ---
    as well as to block the
    observation satellites, huh?
[20:03] ---
    There's that old familiar atmosphere.
[20:09] ---
    Tsuchimikado?
[20:11] ---
    I figured your first mission
    would be starting soon.
[20:13] ---
    I just wanted to have
    a little word in your ear.
[20:16] ---
    You're warning me, now?
    So, what have you got for the new guy?
[20:22] ---
    Do not trust us.
[20:24] ---
    Huh?
[20:26] ---
    We're all a bunch of guys
    who would create a huge problem
[20:30] ---
    just by having word
    of our existence get out.
[20:33] ---
    GROUP, which is made up of
    nothing but hand-picked people like us
[20:36] ---
    has no goals.
[20:38] ---
    Are you trying to say that I'm
    expecting some kind of reward?
[20:42] ---
    I'm saying that if
    you only follow the rules
[20:44] ---
    established by the governing board,
    you'll never outwit them.
[20:49] ---
    As such, be sure to recognize
    what it is you need to do to win.
[20:54] ---
    You and I both have something
    we want to keep safe, after all.
[20:58] ---
    Is that all you wanted?
[21:01] ---
    Finish up quick and get back.
[21:03] ---
    Musujime will be starting
    a job there pretty soon, as well.
[21:07] ---
    Did you say a job?
[21:13] ---
    I didn't hear anything
    about this being a contest.
[21:16] ---
    It's not a person she's after; it's money.
[21:19] ---
    So you mean,
    she's still good for something?
[21:23] ---
    She's the same as you.
    She's been upgraded.
[21:26] ---
    Oh, she has? That's great.
[21:30] ---
    Well then...
[21:32] ---
    ...why don't I get started?
[21:38] ---
    Cleanup time.
[21:39] ---
    I'll have this finished in ten minutes.
[22:02] ---
    That makes nine places.
    These guys just aren't tough enough.
[22:08] ---
    I wish you would go
    a little easier on us, esper.
[22:14] ---
    Komaba Ritoku.
[22:16] ---
    Oh, my...
[22:18] ---
    It looks like I've run into the target first.
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone
[22:52] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around
[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again
[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk
[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that
[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    GROUP and the non-espers clash.
[23:58] ---
    Misaka Misuzu is caught in
    the middle of the chaos.
[24:01] ---
    And Accelerator and I meet once again.
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "Skill Out."
[24:06] ---
    When science and
    magic cross paths, the story begins.

[00:31] ---
    I wish you would go a
    little easier on us, esper.
[00:36] ---
    Komaba Ritoku.
[00:38] ---
    It looks like I've
    run into the target first.
[00:42] ---
    To think that you
    would try to make off with funds
[00:44] ---
    that we had distributed, all at once.
[00:47] ---
    I find that to be somewhat childish.
[00:50] ---
    I'm just making sure to hit
    all of my targets for destruction.
[00:54] ---
    The fact that it's your war
    chest is none of my concern.
[00:57] ---
    Move Point, huh? That's a pesky power.
[01:01] ---
    Do you think "pesky" is enough to cover it?
[01:04] ---
    Yeah. Maybe you're right.
    It's more despicable than just "pesky."
[01:09] ---
    I'll end this by driving
    this right between your eyes!
[01:15] ---
    You're too slow!
[01:22] ---
    I can knuckle down, myself.
[01:34] ---
    I am fighting a monster like you.
[01:38] ---
    Letting me have this
    much of a handicap is fair, right?
[01:42] ---
    You can't hit me!
[01:48] ---
    You've got some moves.
[01:50] ---
    You must have some springy
    hard taping under your clothes.
[01:55] ---
    It's actually special
    military sonic elastic taping.
[01:59] ---
    It took quite some doing to acquire it.
[02:01] ---
    You don't think you're going
    to pay for using that defective stuff
[02:04] ---
    on your own body like that?
[02:06] ---
    It's how far I'm prepared to go.
[02:09] ---
    Let's hurry and finish this.
[02:14] ---
    I have a mountain of
    things ahead of me to do, after all.
[02:26] ---
    Too weak!
[02:28] ---
    It will take more than a
    thin film like that to stop me!
[02:42] ---
    That was a letdown.

    #24 Skill Out (Armed Gang)
[04:25] ---
    Now then...
[04:27] ---
    ...it sounds like she's
    met her quota, too. I'll tell you,
[04:32] ---
    working overtime by yourself is--
[04:33] ---
    In that case, why don't you take it off?
[04:37] ---
    Huh?
[04:38] ---
    Accelerator, huh?
[04:40] ---
    You're Komaba Ritoku, right?
    Let me ask you why you're doing this.
[04:45] ---
    The reason Skill Out pounds
    on espers is... not an interesting tale.
[04:50] ---
    Ha! So not only are
    you throwing the city into chaos,
[04:53] ---
    you're doing it
    indiscriminately, too?
[04:55] ---
    Not indiscriminately.
    We pick our targets, at least.
[04:59] ---
    You seem pretty sure of yourself.
    Are you aware of your situation?
[05:05] ---
    I killed her.
[05:08] ---
    You're different
    from the stories I've heard.
[05:11] ---
    Outcasts like you typically
    don't hesitate at this point.
[05:14] ---
    Is that right?
[05:16] ---
    You know what? Scumbags
    that stand in front of me
[05:19] ---
    typically get turned into mincemeat.
[05:22] ---
    That electrode of yours is a transmitter
[05:24] ---
    for some kind of
    electrical information, right?
[05:37] ---
    What's this?
[05:39] ---
    Chaff Seed.
    A sort of EM disruption device.
[05:49] ---
    You bastard!
[05:54] ---
    I'll blow a crimson hole through you!
[06:10] ---
    Checkmate.
[06:13] ---
    I'll give you a final choice.
[06:15] ---
    Where do you want
    me to shoot you to kill you?
[06:21] ---
    Is this how you plan on making
    innocent people miserable in turn?
[06:27] ---
    Screw that, you dirty bastard!
[06:37] ---
    How... come...
[06:40] ---
    How come your Reflection...
[06:43] ---
    ...has returned...?
[06:45] ---
    What are you, an idiot?
[06:47] ---
    The way chaff works is by having
    metal foil scattered through the air
[06:51] ---
    creating EM interference.
    Which makes it simple.
[06:55] ---
    You just have to get
    the floating foil out of the way.
[06:58] ---
    Like, say, by venting it.
[07:03] ---
    Now then...
[07:06] ---
    ...why don't you show me the guts
    it takes for a Level 0 to challenge
[07:11] ---
    a Level 5 to a fight once again?
[07:14] ---
    You're too slow!
[07:22] ---
    "Checkmate," all right.
[07:25] ---
    The fact that you're a
    Level 0 doesn't make you evil.
[07:29] ---
    The whole reason
    they're all treated like nuisances
[07:32] ---
    is because of you guys in
    Skill Out gallivanting around.
[07:36] ---
    Securing rights?
    Guaranteeing safety? Ridiculous.
[07:41] ---
    Haven't you realized
[07:42] ---
    that these actions are putting
    a noose around your necks?
[07:47] ---
    You want to talk hypothetically?
[07:50] ---
    The personality issues of a
    person aren't taken into consideration
[07:53] ---
    when it comes to the
    merits of being an esper.
[07:55] ---
    That includes some really
    ugly examples of humanity
[07:58] ---
    who wield tremendous power.
[08:00] ---
    If a game where such guys
    competed to attack Level 0s
[08:04] ---
    who weren't in an organized
    Skill Out group became popular,
[08:08] ---
    what would you do?
[08:10] ---
    Hmph, I knew the consequences
    would be coming for me in time...
[08:18] ---
    You bastard...
[08:21] ---
    Apparently,
[08:23] ---
    you and I are currently in
    the same set of circumstances.
[08:29] ---
    Here's a gift. Burn this
    pathetic sight into your mind.
[08:47] ---
    Good work.
[08:49] ---
    We will see to carrying away the
    body, and destroying the evidence.
[08:54] ---
    I will send the garbage truck,
    so please hop into it.
[08:58] ---
    Nah.
[08:59] ---
    I'll come back on my own.
[09:01] ---
    It makes no difference to me, but please
    avoid seeing anyone you know.
[09:05] ---
    It's important that we remain--
[09:08] ---
    I know you're alive, Musujime Awaki.
[09:12] ---
    I started watching halfway through.
[09:14] ---
    When did you notice me?
[09:16] ---
    Ha, it was all too obvious.
    A sorry stunt like that?
[09:21] ---
    Heh, are you sure
    you want to talk like that
[09:24] ---
    to the person who saved your life?
[09:26] ---
    The person who saved my life, huh?
    Just go on telling yourself that.
[09:29] ---
    Oh, are you headed somewhere?
[09:32] ---
    Nowhere important.
    Just some overtime.
[09:36] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:37] ---
    Unpaid overtime.
[09:42] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:46] ---
    Aww... that overtime
    has kept me pretty late, huh?
[09:52] ---
    I think I'll stop at a
    convenience store for some coffee.
[09:58] ---
    I-I feel awful...
[10:06] ---
    Hmm? That face...
[10:08] ---
    Seems like I've seen
    it before somewhere.
[10:16] ---
    What's her story?
[10:19] ---
    Hi there!
    I'm Ms. Misaka Misuzu... ugh...
[10:26] ---
    H-Hey, you...
[10:29] ---
    My hobbies are studying number theory,
[10:31] ---
    my special talent is swimming,
    and my bust measurement is 91 cm!
[10:35] ---
    Oh, whoops. I'm married.
[10:39] ---
    Come on, don't paw at me,
    'cause Papa won't like it.
[10:43] ---
    Huh? Where is Dangai University's
    Database Center again?
[10:48] ---
    Hey, white-hair, do you know?
[10:50] ---
    Ah, don't ignore me, white-hair!
[10:55] ---
    You see... that's where
    Ms. Misuzu has to go study now.
[11:04] ---
    How should I know, idiot?!
    Try flagging down a taxi or something!
[11:07] ---
    I kiss those younger than me,
    whether they're boys or girls!
[11:14] ---
    Would you stop saying
    all this meaningless nonsense!
[11:18] ---
    If I had to say, I think even
    croquettes count as a stew pot dish.
[11:23] ---
    I mean, you take breaded patties
[11:25] ---
    and stick them in the oil in front of you.
[11:27] ---
    You may be right about
    them tasting best freshly cooked.
[11:30] ---
    Ah! In that case,
    when you cook in front of me, Toma,
[11:31] ---
    We can't go until I close the door.
[11:33] ---
    What did you say?
[11:34] ---
    and I eat all of it, it tastes
    better than anything, doesn't it?
[11:38] ---
    Hey, I know you!
[11:40] ---
    M-Ms. Misaka?
[11:41] ---
    Ms. Misuzu doesn't need anything else.
[11:46] ---
    Uh-oh, I haven't stretched out,
    or put on my lotion.
[11:50] ---
    Damn it, if I stop making an effort,
    my skin shows it in no time.
[11:54] ---
    Ugh, I'm gonna puke...
[11:56] ---
    U-Um... Huh?
[11:59] ---
    All right! Scored me a younger boy!
[12:02] ---
    If you're wandering around at
    this hour, what's become of Mikoto?
[12:09] ---
    H-Help me, Index!
[12:12] ---
    Come to think of it, who's that girl again?
[12:15] ---
    Ha! I'm not going to give
    my name to someone like you.
[12:19] ---
    Why, you little...
[12:22] ---
    Wah! It's Index! I'm Index!
[12:25] ---
    Tell me, where is Dangai
    University's Database Center?
[12:29] ---
    Huh?
[12:30] ---
    Word is that the material
    I need to write my college report
[12:33] ---
    is only located in Academy City,
[12:35] ---
    so I had no choice but
    to come all the way here.
[12:39] ---
    Ah, I see.
[12:40] ---
    Oh, I've got an idea! Let's swap
    phone numbers and email addresses!
[12:44] ---
    Too soon!
[12:46] ---
    I'll record your number
    under my "friends" category!
[12:53] ---
    Misaka? Just a coincidence? No,
[12:57] ---
    could she have something to do with the kid?
[13:03] ---
    "Contact 3"
[13:07] ---
    Accelerator? Did you need something?
[13:10] ---
    Tch, they've tapped in, huh?
[13:13] ---
    You're a tacky bastard.
    Is this GROUP's superior?
[13:17] ---
    Tell me what your question is.
[13:19] ---
    It's nothing.
    I'll do what I have to do myself.
[13:23] ---
    What you have to do?
    I don't know what to say.
[13:27] ---
    I do have a matter I wanted
    to discuss with you, though.
[13:29] ---
    Huh?
[13:30] ---
    This works out perfectly.
    It just barely started.
[13:33] ---
    What?
[13:36] ---
    That woman, Ms. Misaka Misuzu,
[13:38] ---
    submitted a request to use the
    Dangai University Database Center,
[13:43] ---
    so that's where the attack was made.
[13:45] ---
    Attack?
[13:46] ---
    Yes.
[13:47] ---
    And who is this Misaka woman?
[13:49] ---
    Ms. Misaka Misuzu is
    the mother of Misaka Mikoto.
[13:54] ---
    Are you familiar with
    the term "retrieval campaign"?
[13:57] ---
    It's where parents
    are taking back their kids,
[13:59] ---
    and moving them to another
    area before the war starts.
[14:02] ---
    If too many students leave Academy City,
[14:05] ---
    it will create all sorts of problems.
[14:07] ---
    Misaka Misuzu is now in something
[14:10] ---
    of a representative position
    among the parents.
[14:12] ---
    So, it was decided to remove her.
[14:15] ---
    Will you take part in this, Accelerator?
[14:18] ---
    What did you say?
[14:19] ---
    Skill Out has been
    requested to carry this out,
[14:23] ---
    but they lack finesse.
[14:25] ---
    If I could ask for your assistance...
[14:27] ---
    I'm afraid not.
[14:29] ---
    My life belongs to me.
[14:32] ---
    I've got nothing to
    do with your ulterior motives.
[14:35] ---
    I see. In that case,
    please hurry home.
[14:39] ---
    We will keep your
    ability secure until you do.
[14:43] ---
    Wha--? Did you tamper with my electrode?
[14:46] ---
    Well then, I must be going.
    Good night, Accelerator.
[14:55] ---
    Misaka Misuzu, was it?
    I'm sure my superior will grind his teeth
[14:59] ---
    if I end up saving her, huh?
[15:09] ---
    That bastard!
[15:13] ---
    Tch, now's not the time.
[15:16] ---
    Well now, time to go save her in the goriest,
[15:20] ---
    most far-from-saving way that I can.
[15:27] ---
    Damn it, who was it
    that forgot the security key?!
[15:30] ---
    Whatever, we're out of time!
    Let's just find the woman.
[15:35] ---
    What's going on here?
[15:37] ---
    I know I dialed Antiskill.
[15:42] ---
    "Mikoto"
[15:48] ---
    They're probably Skill Out.
[15:50] ---
    Skill Out?
[15:50] ---
    They're like a gang,
    made up of armed Level 0s.
[15:54] ---
    Why would they be after me?
[15:56] ---
    That I don't know.
[15:58] ---
    Ms. Misaka,
    have you called your daughter?
[16:01] ---
    Huh?
[16:02] ---
    She's one of only seven Level 5s
    in Academy City. If she's still--
[16:06] ---
    Hold on!
[16:07] ---
    Keep Mikoto out of this!
    If I drag her into my problems,
[16:12] ---
    I'll never be able to face her again.
[16:15] ---
    All right.
[16:16] ---
    In that case, I'm coming.
[16:18] ---
    Eh? I couldn't ask you to do that--
[16:25] ---
    Hasn't anyone found the woman yet?
[16:27] ---
    I asked if you've
    found the woman yet, damn it!
[16:32] ---
    Damn, Komaba, you bastard,
    dying and getting off easy.
[16:36] ---
    What are those of us
    left behind supposed to do?
[16:44] ---
    This is Hamazura. Target located.
    We'll take care of her. You guys--
[16:49] ---
    Why, you...!
[16:51] ---
    Antiskill?
[16:52] ---
    Hi, you scumbags!
[16:54] ---
    I've got some day-tripper
    presents to heaven for you guys.
[16:58] ---
    It's such a great place, you may
    not feel like coming back, though.
[17:11] ---
    Five of them. And they all have guns.
[17:17] ---
    This is bulletproof, right?
[17:22] ---
    Huh?
[17:24] ---
    What is she, stupid?!
[17:28] ---
    Damn... If I can just dash
    over to the bag with the gun in it
[17:31] ---
    before those guys have a chance to regroup...
[17:44] ---
    Hey!
[17:44] ---
    You're kidding, right?!
[17:47] ---
    Crazy dumbass!
[17:55] ---
    Why, you...!
[18:01] ---
    You bastard!
[18:03] ---
    Ms. Misaka, we're getting out of here!
[18:04] ---
    Ms. Misaka!
[18:06] ---
    Hurry!
[18:07] ---
    Damn it!
[18:12] ---
    Interesting. You've got some nerve,
[18:15] ---
    still carrying out your job, don't you?
[18:18] ---
    This way!
[18:23] ---
    Back door, huh? Whatever,
    let's go someplace with a lot of people!
[18:27] ---
    What is this?
[18:29] ---
    Why would you pick now to come here?
[18:31] ---
    Was the job itself a sham,
    and we got set up?
[18:34] ---
    Did you say job?
[18:36] ---
    That bastard Komaba got killed,
[18:38] ---
    and the only way to avoid their
    back-alley suppression operation
[18:42] ---
    was to ingratiate ourselves to them.
[18:44] ---
    Damn it, they were planning
    to abandon us from the start!
[18:47] ---
    I'm just here because she called me.
[18:53] ---
    You mean, it's like that?
[18:55] ---
    The life of Hamazura Shiage is hereby over,
[18:58] ---
    but I can't pass it off as being
    caught up in some grand conspiracy,
[19:02] ---
    or fallen victim to some miracle strategist?!
[19:07] ---
    I can't take it! I won't
    rest unless I get beaten to death!
[19:11] ---
    Keep back!
[19:17] ---
    Aw, but that means, if you
    don't have anything to do with them,
[19:23] ---
    then the job is still valid.
    If I bring the target's body in...
[19:30] ---
    Go ahead and say that again, you...!
[19:42] ---
    Screw you. What the hell
    do you take a person's life to be?!
[19:45] ---
    What choice do I have?!
[19:47] ---
    If we Level 0s don't do
    this, we can't survive!
[19:51] ---
    Don't group me in with you.
[19:53] ---
    What?
[19:54] ---
    Don't lump all of us Level 0s
    in with bastards like you!
[19:59] ---
    That's right. You never
    once used any ability.
[20:02] ---
    Academy City is full
    of people who are Level 0.
[20:06] ---
    They go to school normally,
    make friends normally,
[20:11] ---
    and live their lives normally.
[20:13] ---
    You're the one who's making
    Level 0s look most like fools, you know!
[20:17] ---
    You're the same as me.
[20:19] ---
    No I'm not. Sure, I might be a Level 0,
[20:23] ---
    but I have no intention
    of turning so negative
[20:26] ---
    as to take joy in
    dragging other people down.
[20:28] ---
    Negative?
    You're calling us negative?
[20:31] ---
    Compared to those who have power,
    but won't give anything to us,
[20:35] ---
    those of us in Skill Out
    are a hundred times better!
[20:38] ---
    Well, have you extended a
    hand to anyone asking for help?
[20:44] ---
    If you had used as much energy
    extending a hand to those in need
[20:47] ---
    as you have fighting against espers,
[20:50] ---
    you would have been accepted by
    the people of Academy City!
[20:55] ---
    Shut up! Our Level 0
    leader, Komaba Ritoku,
[20:59] ---
    lived that way, and he got killed!
[21:02] ---
    He stuck out like a sore
    thumb trying to protect the weak!
[21:05] ---
    But he must have
    had something that you don't!
[21:09] ---
    That's why he stayed
    and fought until the end, didn't he?
[21:12] ---
    To protect his friends,
    and not call them the weak!
[21:15] ---
    Get real! You're just a
    Level 0. You don't have any power!
[21:22] ---
    Don't you look down on us!
[21:24] ---
    The reason you've been looked
    down on has nothing to do with power.
[21:29] ---
    Figure out what to do about
    that good-for-nothing illusion yourself,
[21:33] ---
    you filthy bastard!
[21:46] ---
    The truth of the matter is,
[21:48] ---
    I came to take Mikoto back with me.
[21:52] ---
    But I can rest easy now.
    As long as there are boys like you guys
[21:55] ---
    who are watching out for Mikoto,
    then there's no problem at all.
[21:59] ---
    "You... guys"?
[22:08] ---
    Did our superior order you
    to come here and punish me?
[22:12] ---
    Don't be silly.
[22:14] ---
    As far as Misaka Misuzu goes,
    she appears to have lost her desire
[22:18] ---
    to remove her
    daughter from Academy City.
[22:21] ---
    As such, her killing has been canceled.
[22:22] ---
    Does our superior accept
    such wishy-washy conclusions?
[22:26] ---
    He probably will. Mainly because
    dumb Unabara here worked so hard.
[22:30] ---
    Oh, it just seems that the young
    man has kept his promise to me
[22:36] ---
    to protect the one I care for,
    and the world around her.
[22:41] ---
    I thought that I should
    try a little harder, too.
[22:44] ---
    I just got a little too uptight about it.
[22:48] ---
    He keeps maintaining that tone,
    and avoids any specific answers.
[22:53] ---
    He probably made use
    of some particularly ugly tricks.
[22:55] ---
    In any case, good work on your
    first assignment, overtime and all.
[23:00] ---
    Damn it all.
[23:02] ---
    If you only follow the rules,
    you'll never outwit them.
[23:07] ---
    That means you
    can't use normal methods.
[23:10] ---
    Apparently, you're considered
    a fairly precious commodity upstairs.
[23:15] ---
    Let's partner up, Accelerator.
[23:17] ---
    Sounds interesting.
    But if you guys slow me down,
[23:20] ---
    I'll write you off
    without a second thought.
[23:22] ---
    Ha, you're a feisty kid. Come on.
[23:26] ---
    It's about time we struck
    back at the guys upstairs.
[23:31] ---
    How fun. Having an objective really is fun.
[23:43] ---
    What is this?
[23:45] ---
    After I take the trouble to send a text...
[23:48] ---
    ...why don't I get an answer?
[23:50] ---
    Work though we might, the mountain
    of paperwork never goes away.
[23:53] ---
    Hitori de ii to tsubuyaita
[23:54] ---
    What else can we do? Everyone
    else was knocked out.
[23:56] ---

[23:58] ---
    Please brace yourself for another
    three days of this, easy.

    Yeah, but they're just doing
    powered suits demonstrations.

    Megurimeguru kisetsu ni kimi ga ita kiseki
[24:23] ---
    So what you're saying is, you're
    dressing up as a mascot.
[24:26] ---
    Th-That might be overstating things.
[24:29] ---
    kowarete'ta tokei sae ugokidasu kara

    This pudding tastes amazing,
[24:33] ---
    considering it's from a convenience store.
[24:34] ---
    Ima wa sou muryoku na garakuta da kedo
[24:36] ---
    If you eat sweets at night, you'll get fat.

[24:43] ---
    "Where did he go?" Misaka Misaka asks.
[24:46] ---
    Kimi no koe ga ima mo mada
[24:48] ---
    He will be back, very soon.
[24:50] ---
    koko ni aru kara
[24:51] ---
    "Mm-hmm. Misaka can't wait to see him,"
[24:54] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, nodding.
[25:01] ---
    Good night.
[25:08] ---
    Ah! Toma!
[25:14] ---
    Geez! How can you go out again
    by yourself, and get badly hurt?
[25:18] ---
    Toma, your behavior
    makes as little sense as ever!
[25:22] ---
    Uh, yeah, well...
[25:23] ---
    I was actually kind of lucky this time.
[25:31] ---
    Then again...
[25:33] ---
    ...sure enough, this is just my luck!
