[00:11] ---
We've broken through the designated point!
Target within firing range!
[00:18] ---
Now commencing large-scale flash shelling!
[00:21] ---
All witches, withdraw from the line of fire!
[00:23] ---
Repeat, withdraw from the line of fire!
[00:26] ---
Here it comes! Here it comes!
[00:28] ---
Targeting Buckingham Palace!
Commencing shelling!
[00:39] ---
Hey! That's an awesome bombardment,
[00:41] ---
but is the damage to
the area around it all right?!
[00:45] ---
The area around the palace is a large park,
[00:47] ---
so any stray shots should be okay.
[00:50] ---
More importantly, we should consider
that even with this much bombardment,
[00:53] ---
it might not bring down Carissa.
[00:55] ---
I'm a rank amateur, charging into
this battlefield with only my fist.
[00:59] ---
Pretty reckless, if I do say so myself.
[01:03] ---
Why...
[01:04] ---
...do you head into such extreme danger,
[01:07] ---
when you have no obligation
to risk your life for the British state?
[01:12] ---
No special reason.
[01:17] ---
And if the people who are caught
in the middle of this coup d'état
[01:20] ---
were nothing more than nameless characters,
[01:22] ---
born to be shot at in some shooting game,
[01:25] ---
I'd have already gone back
home to Academy City.
[01:30] ---
But they aren't, are they?
[01:33] ---
They're all running around for their lives,
[01:36] ---
desperately clinging to whatever is
important to them, trying not to lose it.
[01:39] ---
How am I supposed to
just abandon them so easily?
[01:43] ---
You're a different sort of mercenary
than William is, aren't you?
[01:52] ---
That's wreckage from Curtana Original's
pandimensional fragmentation!
[01:56] ---
Hold on tight!
[02:09] ---
D-Damn... Index...?
[02:13] ---
Kanzaki! Itsuwa! Damn it, where are you?!
[02:20] ---
"A Certain Magical Index III"
[02:27] ---
"#14 Heroes"
[02:37] ---
Please, stop this!
[02:39] ---
Ho...
[02:40] ---
How unexpected for you to be the
first to arrive, my mindless little sister.
[02:46] ---
But unless you notch the bolt and
draw back the string, you can't kill me.
[02:50] ---
It's pointless if you can't use your weapon.
[02:53] ---
Like this, for example!
[03:00] ---
Carissa!
[03:02] ---
Congratulations, that was
an award-winning fine play.
[03:06] ---
Up against the final boss, right off the bat.
[03:09] ---
I have no idea how many knights
there are lying in wait, either.
[03:13] ---
You needn't be so watchful;
this isn't an ambush.
[03:16] ---
I used them for a little live broadcast.
[03:20] ---
Don't tell me you killed them.
[03:24] ---
But they were allies who fought
on your side, such that it was!
[03:27] ---
--And you--
--Enough.
[03:29] ---
Their lofty positions and
rewards they get from their family lines
[03:32] ---
are given because they work
like mad to serve their country.
[03:36] ---
So being expended for the sake
of their country is a knight's dream.
[03:40] ---
As a result, their firm
solidarity has been reborn.
[03:44] ---
If the coup d'état is unsuccessful,
both they and the country will perish,
[03:47] ---
in terror!
[03:49] ---
Wha--?!
[03:50] ---
These are mobile attack
fortresses, Griffon Skies.
[03:53] ---
They are unmanned magical items, but as such,
[03:56] ---
they are second to none
in coordinated attacks,
[03:59] ---
even among the nation's other fortresses.
[04:12] ---
Tch, they're too powerful
against human targets,
[04:14] ---
so the magical items'
auto-discriminators must be thrown off.
[04:18] ---
Ordinarily, that would have cut you in two.
[04:21] ---
Second Princess Carissa...
[04:24] ---
Die!
[04:30] ---
I'm alive?
[04:33] ---
At last, I've managed to
properly pay back my huge debt.
[04:37] ---
Kanzaki!
[04:38] ---
It's not just me.
[04:42] ---
Index, assess that magic, if you please.
[04:46] ---
Reanalyze the spellcraft related to Curtana.
[04:49] ---
You mean how to control
it or contain it, right?
[04:52] ---
I'll give it a try.
[04:53] ---
You, the do-nothing soldier who could
not even make it to the main battle,
[04:57] ---
now plan on becoming
the central figure in the fight?
[05:00] ---
I do not intend to settle
everything by myself.
[05:04] ---
I am joined by allies now,
who all have my back!
[05:08] ---
You mean you've been holding
back against me?! For that you'll die!
[05:18] ---
What speed!
[05:20] ---
But if I can distract
Carissa even a little bit...!
[05:26] ---
Heh, you're a brave one to come this far.
[05:29] ---
But I'll see you in hell!
[05:30] ---
Kamijo Toma!
[05:31] ---
Don't mind me! Press on!
[05:44] ---
Guys...
[05:45] ---
Damned if you aren't
incurring an inordinate cost!
[06:05] ---
It looks like we're going
to need your right hand after all.
[06:10] ---
I'll go ahead and try what I can,
but I make no promises.
[06:13] ---
There's a delay between the moment
when Curtana cuts through an object
[06:17] ---
and when the wreckage material appears.
[06:20] ---
Even if you can cancel out the
slice itself with your right hand,
[06:24] ---
it may not have any effect against
the wreckage material created.
[06:28] ---
Then if we can get close
to her after she slashes,
[06:31] ---
but before the wreckage material appears...
[06:45] ---
You can't even use any decent magic.
Is this the best you can do,
[06:51] ---
Princess of Virtue?
[06:53] ---
No, I can't stand to grovel any longer!
[06:57] ---
For the sake of those who are
risking their lives to save me,
[07:01] ---
I have made up my mind to take
a stand as this nation's princess!
[07:04] ---
Sod off!
[07:17] ---
What?!
[07:19] ---
A blast from Coven Compass?
Is this a coordinated attack?
[07:23] ---
Damn it, what a cheeky trick!
[07:27] ---
This is the pinnacle of
relying on others, my sister!
[07:34] ---
That trajectory won't...
[07:36] ---
BAO...
[07:39] ---
"Bend attack trajectory! Change downward"
[07:39] ---
CD...
[08:02] ---
Seriously? A direct hit like that,
and she ends up with just scratches?!
[08:07] ---
Actually, I was planning to
drum up a greater sense of danger,
[08:10] ---
and only use this once I'd baited
my mother, Elizard, in closer.
[08:16] ---
Calling the destroyer Wimbledon,
on patrol at Dover.
[08:20] ---
Launch a bunker cluster cruise missile.
[08:23] ---
Target Buckingham Palace.
[08:28] ---
Bunker cluster?
[08:30] ---
You know what that is? They can blow away
everything in a 3-kilometer radius.
[08:35] ---
We won't let that happen.
[08:38] ---
We'll put a defensive barrier up
in the air to intercept it.
[08:42] ---
Assuming you can make it in time
for a Mach 5 cruise missile.
[08:51] ---
You're vulnerable, just as I anticipated!
[08:55] ---
Kanzaki!
[09:05] ---
Oh my goodness.
[09:07] ---
The sorcerers of this nation
should definitely have known
[09:09] ---
how fearsome the head of state
wielding Curtana Original would be.
[09:17] ---
Hey, miss, it's just as you thought.
[09:20] ---
It's a tomb, all right, fit for
the king of a whole civilization.
[09:24] ---
I'll send you the material.
[09:27] ---
Indeed.
[09:29] ---
There's a rational explanation
why she hasn't killed them.
[09:33] ---
Now, my sister, rushing through life,
I pretty well know what you're after.
[09:39] ---
Listen up. This is First Princess Riméa.
[09:44] ---
Her out-of-control behavior has been entirely
[09:46] ---
for the sake of the nation of Great Britain.
[09:58] ---
We have been under pressure from
the forces of France, Roman Orthodoxy,
[10:01] ---
and the Russian Church,
which have used the EU as their pawns,
[10:05] ---
as well as violations
of our national dignity.
[10:07] ---
Amidst this humiliation,
she made the determination
[10:09] ---
to personally wield Curtana Original,
to overcome these external pressures.
[10:16] ---
While at the same time, she resolved
[10:19] ---
to lock away such a
doomsday weapon forevermore,
[10:22] ---
so that it could never be misused again.
[10:24] ---
Once the fighting was over,
[10:26] ---
she planned to take the
destroyed Curtana Original,
[10:28] ---
along with the shards of Curtana Second,
spending the rest of her life
[10:31] ---
down in a hole in the ground that was
destined to be her grave, until she died.
[10:36] ---
Calling Destroyer Wimbledon.
Launch another bunker cluster.
[10:42] ---
She is trying to take upon
herself alone the offense
[10:46] ---
of wielding the abominable weapon
Curtana, acting as a tyrant,
[10:49] ---
to wipe out all the enemies of the nation,
both foreign and domestic.
[10:53] ---
If there are any who
would take pity on my sister--
[10:56] ---
some knight who would like
to save this young woman--
[11:00] ---
would you now take up your sword once again?
[11:07] ---
I'm not about to give up.
[11:11] ---
But what can you do?
The second bunker cluster
[11:14] ---
is already nearly here.
[11:18] ---
You'll be blown apart, ignorant fool!
This is what our military is made of!
[11:22] ---
Zero out!
[11:32] ---
It's you!
[11:36] ---
You can have my head if you like
once this coup d'état is over.
[11:40] ---
However, let us at least pave
the way for that first.
[11:44] ---
I would ask you who are royalty
to once again work together,
[11:48] ---
and properly confront France
and the Roman Orthodoxy.
[11:53] ---
I beg your pardon for leaving the fate of
my country and princess in your hands.
[11:59] ---
Yeah. Now we're going
to work together to stop her.
[12:03] ---
Knight Leader? Were you manipulated
by my sister's cunning performance?
[12:08] ---
If you're asking what moved me
to want to save you,
[12:12] ---
then that was a part of it.
[12:14] ---
I hate having to do this, but it looks like
I'll have to use all the bunker clusters.
[12:19] ---
My Thororm spell may not be
able to stand up against Curtana,
[12:23] ---
but it can zero out
the attack of bunker clusters.
[12:27] ---
Are you still planning on wasting them?
[12:29] ---
I've factored that in, of course.
[12:32] ---
The Wimbledon has 24 missiles,
the King Henry VII has 26,
[12:37] ---
and the Sherwood has 15.
If I hide one of those behind an illusion,
[12:41] ---
your spell is useless to defend against it,
since you can't identify your target.
[12:47] ---
Calling all destroyers on standby.
Launch all of your cruise missiles!
[12:56] ---
Wha--?! An antenna?
[12:58] ---
You won't be able to issue
rash orders to the military now.
[13:02] ---
I see. You're sticking your nose
into my business, now.
[13:07] ---
Acqua!
[13:08] ---
Am I late? I'm not very good with science.
[13:11] ---
It took me a while to destroy
every military antenna in the area.
[13:18] ---
Who would have guessed
the time would ever come again
[13:20] ---
for you to have my back in this lifetime?
[13:23] ---
Do try your best not to slow me down.
[13:26] ---
Rubbish.
[13:27] ---
Come on! Let's put to the test what
we've both learned in the last ten years!
[13:36] ---
I'll cut off your head!
[13:41] ---
Don't think that the two of you
are the only ones fighting!
[13:46] ---
Single Flash!
[14:01] ---
How awesome...
[14:13] ---
Looks like you've finally beaten me
at this game of hot potato.
[14:16] ---
Taking on three of you saint-level
monsters is too much trouble.
[14:19] ---
Don't believe that only
"special people" can accomplish anything.
[14:24] ---
The whole reason we're
able to use such strength
[14:26] ---
is because we have others supporting us.
[14:29] ---
Perhaps. But didn't it occur to you
[14:31] ---
that it also gives me the chance to beat you?
[14:54] ---
The greater your numbers, the more
openings there are to rip you apart!
[14:59] ---
I don't care if there are 1,000,
or even 10,000 of you, it won't sway me!
[15:07] ---
You show your face at last,
Mother, the cause of all of this!
[15:11] ---
If you're going to do as you like,
[15:13] ---
you're going to have to come up
with a better plan than mine. But then,
[15:16] ---
since this looks like it's going to end up
worse than mine, I'm here to stop you.
[15:20] ---
Nonsense. Is this how
badly you want the throne?
[15:23] ---
Oh, no, I'm just appalled
at how small you think.
[15:27] ---
My daughter, if you truly wish
to change this nation...!
[15:34] ---
What are you thinking?
[15:37] ---
Revolution.
[15:42] ---
Among all the state-level Royal
Household magic, there is also this!
[15:48] ---
Union Jack, I command you,
[15:50] ---
take the tremendous power
of the British Empire,
[15:53] ---
made up of the four cultures
from which it is comprised,
[15:56] ---
release it all, and redistribute it
equally to all of the British people!
[16:03] ---
The power that had been
infused into Curtana Original...!
[16:07] ---
Queen Regnant Elizard
to all the people in the land--
[16:11] ---
I realize there are many of you
who have come to harm
[16:14] ---
since this coup d'état first started,
without knowing why. However,
[16:17] ---
you now have the power to fight back.
[16:20] ---
Tonight, for one night, at least,
you can all become heroes equally.
[16:25] ---
As such, I want you to make a choice
for whom and with whom you will fight!
[16:30] ---
Weigh everything within your own minds,
[16:32] ---
and whatever justice, courage,
and nerve remains, heed it! Now!
[16:37] ---
This marks the start of the nationwide
general election of rival champions!
[16:41] ---
Who, me?
[16:42] ---
A hero?
[16:44] ---
Can we really fight?
[16:47] ---
To Buckingham!
[16:49] ---
--Buckingham Palace!
--Yeah!
[16:51] ---
--Everyone, to Buckingham!
--To Buckingham!
[16:53] ---
On your feet, Itsuwa.
[16:56] ---
Miss Tsushima?
[16:58] ---
Curtana!
[17:00] ---
See for yourself.
[17:02] ---
This was the ace up Queen Elizard's sleeve.
[17:05] ---
You can feel it, can't you?
The power shared to all the people?
[17:11] ---
Come on, let's go, too.
[17:17] ---
Don't think for a moment that's all it
takes to turn aside Curtana Original.
[17:21] ---
Still, it's a 90-million-to-one tug of war.
[17:24] ---
If your concentration
breaks for even a moment,
[17:26] ---
all of that power will be pared away.
[17:31] ---
This is awesome. There
are so many main players
[17:35] ---
that myself, Index, Kanzaki, and Acqua
are kind of blending into the background.
[17:40] ---
What is the deal with this country?
How is everyone a key figure?
[17:45] ---
She must have known this.
That's why she set herself aside for the country.
[17:50] ---
I'm going to defend her.
[17:52] ---
I'll make sure I drag her out of
this ridiculous chain of negativity!
[17:57] ---
CTOOCU. SAARTST.
SIGN "Change the trajectory of Curtana upward! Stop the attack and redistribute the surplus Telesma!"
[18:05] ---
Acqua!
[18:25] ---
Is it over?
[18:37] ---
We really made a loud show of it,
if I do say so myself.
[18:41] ---
It may be presumptuous of me to say so,
but it was too loud, Your Majesty.
[18:46] ---
Was it?
[18:47] ---
I rather think that everyone will try
to fathom last night's events to no avail,
[18:52] ---
and will end up interpreting them as
they like, looking back fondly on them.
[18:55] ---
Still, there is the possibility
that some may realize it was magic.
[19:00] ---
Well, if they do, we can just admit it.
[19:03] ---
There's no law that says that
magic can't be out in the public eye.
[19:10] ---
Incidentally, where did that
admirable young lad go off to?
[19:19] ---
This is incredible.
A more delightful sight than I had imagined.
[19:24] ---
Wh-Who are you?
[19:27] ---
If I said I was Fiamma of the Right,
would you know who I am?
[19:32] ---
I'm grateful. It was worth it to
harass France via Roman Orthodoxy,
[19:36] ---
and apply all that stress to Britain.
[19:40] ---
Thanks to all of it,
I got my hands on what I was after.
[19:44] ---
What was so important for you
to steal that you'd go and start a war?
[19:49] ---
I don't know if you haven't been told
or just haven't realized,
[19:54] ---
but your part in this is at an end.
[19:56] ---
Time to die.
[20:04] ---
There's the extraordinary
right hand that I'm after!
[20:07] ---
Who are you?!
[20:08] ---
Fiamma of the Right. He's the
de facto leader of the Right Seat of God.
[20:14] ---
I think we'll leave it at that for today.
[20:17] ---
I can't have the magical item
I worked so hard for being destroyed.
[20:21] ---
What magical item?
[20:22] ---
Something incredible. Want to see it?
[20:30] ---
Index?!
[20:31] ---
Yes... I am the magic library
affiliated with Necessarius,
[20:38] ---
the 0th parish of the
English Puritan Church...
[20:43] ---
--My formal name is Ind-- Lib--
[20:48] ---
--Index!
--My formal name is Ind-- Lib--
[20:51] ---
Uh-oh, maybe she needs to go into the shop.
[20:54] ---
Why, you...! What have you done to Index?!
[20:56] ---
I don't know. If you want to find out,
ask the people responsible for creating her.
[21:02] ---
Now, I need to pop off to Russia
[21:05] ---
and salvage the material
I need to bring down an angel.
[21:09] ---
In the meantime, I'll leave you
in charge of Librorum Prohibitorum
[21:12] ---
and your own right hand.
[22:49] ---
The magical item that was
stolen was a safety device.
[22:52] ---
One that allows her to live a daily life,
[22:56] ---
even after memorizing 103,000 grimoires.
[22:59] ---
We mucked this up.
[23:01] ---
We will take care of the
List of Forbidden Books.
[23:05] ---
Unless we can defeat Fiamma,
we will never be able to guarantee her safety.
[23:13] ---
Russia, huh?
[23:15] ---
Stiyl, can I leave Index
with you for a little while?
[23:19] ---
I'm going to go slug that
Fiamma bastard with this fist!
[23:25] ---
"Preview"
[23:25] ---
A momentary tranquility?
There is no such thing.
[23:28] ---
All there are are empty casings,
anguished cries, and the smell of gunpowder.
[23:31] ---
Yet another darkness goes into motion.
[23:34] ---
Next time, "Spark Signal."
[23:36] ---
When science and magic cross paths,
the story begins.
[23:41] ---
