[00:03] ---
    With you being a part of
    this dark outfit called "GROUP,"
[00:06] ---
    the usual intelligence networks
    could not pin down your location.
[00:10] ---
    So we used Shiokishi, here at the
    core of Academy City, instead. Etzali,
[00:15] ---
    we're here to kill you.
[00:18] ---
    It can't be...!
[00:20] ---
    Yes. The original text of the grimoire.
[00:38] ---
    Normally, that blast would have
    directly struck celestial bodies,
[00:43] ---
    but apparently, the rabbit bones
    that were used to fuel it were poor.
[00:47] ---
    What did you do?
    What have you done to Tochtli?!
[00:51] ---
    Rabbit bones.
[00:53] ---
    Do I have to draw you
    a picture for you to understand?
[00:58] ---
    Watching this is entertaining, isn't it?
[01:00] ---
    I'll bet she doesn't
    even have half her bones left.
[01:04] ---
    Técpatl...
[01:07] ---
    Técpatl!!
[01:10] ---
    Nice. This is the way our fight should be.
[01:14] ---
    Let's expend all of our knowledge
    in seizing Aztec control.
[01:42] ---
    K-K-Kinuhata!!
[01:51] ---
    I'll kill you now. You don't mind, do you?
[01:54] ---
    No, I don't. I'm not so petty as to take
    offense at other people's drivel, after all.
[02:11] ---
    "#17 DRAGON"
[02:21] ---
    I know that Kihara Amata was able
    to break through your "Reflection" barrier
[02:25] ---
    by pulling his punch back just before impact.
[02:28] ---
    Also,
[02:30] ---
    Kakine Teitoku used matter
    that doesn't exist in our world.
[02:38] ---
    I see.
[02:40] ---
    I can't exactly take a page from their
    exceptional methods and duplicate them.
[02:44] ---
    What a third-stringer.
    Even with your modest skills,
[02:48] ---
    all you can do is follow
    that black-hearted old man's orders.
[02:51] ---
    A dude like you says he's the heir of
    those who fought in the name of justice?
[02:56] ---
    Does that bastard Shiokishi
    seem like a good guy to you?
[03:00] ---
    Are you in the right for following him?
    Don't make me laugh.
[03:06] ---
    It's true, the word "good"
    is always exploited by those in power.
[03:11] ---
    However, if you relegate everything to evil,
[03:13] ---
    is that going to make every
    last one of the world's problems better?
[03:17] ---
    All your kind of evil is doing
[03:20] ---
    is scavenging the scraps
    that drop from good's table.
[03:23] ---
    You scumbag. The moment you
    consider them to be table scraps,
[03:27] ---
    it shows that your good isn't really genuine.
[03:30] ---
    Are you saying that a villain like
    you knows someone who's good?
[03:33] ---
    Damn straight. So much that it
    pisses me off just thinking back about it.
[03:38] ---
    I see.
[03:40] ---
    But you will never see this good person again,
    because you're going to die here.
[03:50] ---
    Your electrode has been modified,
    so it can be controlled remotely.
[03:55] ---
    Once you are isolated
    from the Misaka Network,
[03:58] ---
    your fighting strength drops to zero.
[04:06] ---
    This is the good I'm talking about.
[04:08] ---
    What it takes for a man
    to keep on struggling to be good,
[04:12] ---
    while living in a world full of miscreants.
[04:19] ---
    What...?
[04:20] ---
    You were ultra-familiar
    with fighting against espers,
[04:24] ---
    and had the ability to
    determine our weaknesses.
[04:27] ---
    On the other hand, you didn't seem
    to understand that I am a person,
[04:32] ---
    who has ultra-fought hard to stay alive.
[04:36] ---
    Ah, I almost forgot.
[04:38] ---
    The most dangerous thing for me,
[04:39] ---
    being virtually unbeatable
    in close-quarters fighting,
[04:43] ---
    is taking an ultra-precise attack
    from someplace out of my reach.
[04:47] ---
    With the way you spam your firepower,
[04:49] ---
    Sunazara Chimitsu was a
    much deadlier shot than you are.
[04:55] ---
    You had supplementary... liquid nitrogen...?
[05:21] ---
    The original text is streaming
    inside my head. But it doesn't matter.
[05:25] ---
    Even if this ends up ruining me...
[05:34] ---
    It's a matter of experience, Etzali.
[05:37] ---
    If you're going to use this as a weapon,
[05:40] ---
    taking steps to prevent the backflow
    of knowledge is fundamental.
[05:44] ---
    So then,
[05:46] ---
    you haven't actually read
    the original text, have you?
[05:55] ---
    Huh...?
[06:00] ---
    How...?
[06:02] ---
    Did you know that the
    original texts of grimoires
[06:05] ---
    favor those who can spread
    their knowledge the most...?
[06:10] ---
    You transcribed the stone tablet...?
[06:13] ---
    You've never come face to face
    with the original text's knowledge...
[06:19] ---
    Did you think the original text
    would let you get away with that...?
[06:29] ---
    H-How...?
[06:32] ---
    This is a jamming device.
[06:36] ---
    What?
[06:37] ---
    Simple electronic jamming would
    also affect the Misaka Network.
[06:43] ---
    I analyzed the EM waves from before
    and calculated their inverse.
[06:48] ---
    This is how evil works. There isn't
    a lick of difference between you and me.
[06:54] ---
    And the last thing I am is good.
[06:57] ---
    Which makes you a prize-winning villain
    for using the same methods.
[07:04] ---
    You kind of overdid it, there.
[07:07] ---
    You might have ultra-gotten
    the gun on your own,
[07:09] ---
    but how did you get your hands
    on a six-winger attack helicopter?
[07:13] ---
    What are you talking about?
[07:14] ---
    Huh?
[07:15] ---
    If I could get my hands
    on an attack helicopter,
[07:18] ---
    then I'd have obviously hit you
    from beyond your range, wouldn't I?
[07:22] ---
    Then, who did, exactly?
    Is there someone else ultra-out to get us?
[07:28] ---
    It couldn't be!
[07:32] ---
    Hamazura!
[07:33] ---
    Ultra-get out of here!
    They're probably here after you!
[07:37] ---
    Huh?
[07:38] ---
    Let's go, Hamazura.
[07:40] ---
    B-But what about Kinuhata?
[07:43] ---
    Hurry!
[07:44] ---
    Damn it!
[07:55] ---
    Ultra-what do you think you're doing?
[07:57] ---
    Did you know that Aleister is devising
    and carrying out some kind of plan?
[08:03] ---
    Kamijo Toma and Accelerator
    are two of the irregular factors
[08:07] ---
    that fall within the
    tolerance levels of that plan.
[08:11] ---
    That's why they can be situated
    at the center of that plan
[08:15] ---
    and made use of as much
    as needed to benefit it.
[08:19] ---
    On the other hand,
    that isn't true of Hamazura Shiage.
[08:23] ---
    That Level 0 is a factor that
    was supposed to have been killed
[08:26] ---
    during the conflict among our dark subgroups.
[08:30] ---
    Hamazura Shiage, a Level 0
    without any power or role to play,
[08:35] ---
    is trying to achieve
    something all on his own.
[08:39] ---
    Some new value, which not even
    Aleister himself is aware of.
[08:43] ---
    Depending on what that is,
    it can potentially damage Aleister's plan.
[08:49] ---
    Academy City is marshalling all
    of its forces to kill Hamazura Shiage.
[08:54] ---
    What do you think? Does
    he have that much value?
[09:07] ---
    DRAGON...?
[09:09] ---
    You must have your suppositions...
[09:11] ---
    You're not going to try to tell us you
    don't know anything about it, are you?
[09:15] ---
    It would be easier for me if I didn't,
[09:18] ---
    but unfortunately, I did learn about it...
[09:21] ---
    It's something that no one
    should ever lay eyes on...
[09:24] ---
    What is DRAGON? Where is DRAGON, exactly?
[09:29] ---
    What are you talking about?
    DRAGON is everywhere...
[09:34] ---
    Look, DRAGON is there
    behind you, right now...
[09:38] ---
    Huh?
[09:46] ---
    DRAGON? The name is not wrong.
    The title of "Angel" also applies.
[09:54] ---
    However, if you want to
    more precisely express who I am,
[09:59] ---
    you should choose the following name--
[10:03] ---
    the one who once gave
    the eccentric sorcerer named Crowley
[10:08] ---
    the necessary knowledge
    in the necessary amount,
[10:14] ---
    "Aiwass."
[10:33] ---
    Takitsubo!
[10:36] ---
    Hamazura... run...
[10:40] ---
    The way we're going, we'll both be caught.
[10:43] ---
    S-So...
[10:47] ---
    Hamazura...
[10:48] ---
    Be quiet.
[10:53] ---
    Somebody...
[10:56] ---
    Somebody...
[11:04] ---
    It's all right, Hamazura.
    I'll buy you some time.
[11:09] ---
    You can't be serious!
[11:18] ---
    Please, somebody come along. Some hero,
[11:22] ---
    who shows up out of nowhere to save her life.
[11:26] ---
    Please!
[11:41] ---
    Hey, we made it, Takitsubo!
    I don't know who stepped in to help,
[11:46] ---
    but we made it through!
[11:49] ---
    Hamazura...
[12:00] ---
    It can't be...
[12:02] ---
    Don't let these two-bit bastards
    come and take your life.
[12:08] ---
    I've decided that I'm the one
    who gets to tear you limb from limb.
[12:16] ---
    You look like you're mystified.
[12:19] ---
    Is my sudden appearance really
    that incomprehensible to you?
[12:24] ---
    What are you, then?
[12:26] ---
    And why the hell did you wrap yourself
    in the codename "DRAGON"?
[12:30] ---
    That's where I'm going
    to have to begin explaining, is it?
[12:34] ---
    My identity is not that big a deal.
[12:37] ---
    I'm just an insignificant
    little hboiebeingab.
[12:41] ---
    Huh?
[12:42] ---
    Oh, dear. I can't even express
    that degree of meaning in this world?
[12:48] ---
    Are you familiar with
    the phrase "Fuse=KAZAKIRI"?
[12:52] ---
    Huh?
[12:53] ---
    Hmm... It is a being known
    as an artificial angel.
[12:59] ---
    A mass of AIM dispersion fields.
[13:02] ---
    It is also something of a production line
    used to give me, Aiwass, form.
[13:08] ---
    Now, appearing for the fun of it is
    fine and all, but now what do I do?
[13:14] ---
    What would you like to do?
    Would you like to upset Aleister's aspirations
[13:18] ---
    based on information you receive from me?
[13:22] ---
    Are you just jerking my chain?
[13:24] ---
    I won't be the one upset
    if Aleister's plan is derailed.
[13:29] ---
    Whether it takes 10,000
    years, or even 100,000,
[13:33] ---
    I'll just wait for another opportunity
    for me to asbumanifestoagbv--
[13:36] ---
    make that "emerge."
[13:39] ---
    And just so you know,
    the plan that Aleister is undertaking
[13:43] ---
    is already starting to come apart.
[13:46] ---
    What?
[13:47] ---
    The fractures are slowly starting to widen.
[13:51] ---
    If it keeps up, Last Order,
    the keystone of his plan,
[13:55] ---
    is certain to disintegrate sooner or later.
[14:02] ---
    Bring it on.
[14:05] ---
    I don't care if you're a mass of AIM
    dispersion fields or an angel or whatever,
[14:10] ---
    but if you maliciously mean to do harm
    to that kid, I'll give you no mercy!
[14:24] ---
    Oh, no, that was my mistake.
[14:28] ---
    Oh, Aleister, you messed with
    the snstructuralbozl virus, didn't you?
[14:33] ---
    Goodness, I'm sorry.
    If you want to sbgpkillnapedv me,
[14:37] ---
    you'll have to do something
    about these nspidhglowingwingsgprws.
[14:40] ---
    They have a mind of their own.
[14:42] ---
    abeohougbaokillwoweuferya!
[14:45] ---
    "Do what thou wilt shall be
    the whole of the Law," eh?
[15:05] ---
    Is that all you have?
[15:07] ---
    I tried drawing you out by
    explicitly mentioning Last Order, but...
[15:14] ---
    Hmm?
[15:16] ---
    I remember you saying you appeared
    by using AIM diffusion fields, right?
[15:25] ---
    And to let you control them,
    that kid was infected with the virus,
[15:31] ---
    to create that Fuse=KAZAKIRI business.
[15:36] ---
    If that's the case...
[15:38] ---
    That's using your head.
[15:40] ---
    You've reset it to work
    on the whole Misaka Network.
[15:44] ---
    But do you realize that in doing so,
[15:49] ---
    you've personally cut
    the lifeline keeping you alive?
[15:53] ---
    Shut up!
[15:55] ---
    I see. Then go ahead and show me...
[15:59] ---
    ...thy "Law."
[16:13] ---
    How is she still alive?!
[16:16] ---
    Hamazura!
[16:18] ---
    I see you make as quick an escape as ever,
    but are you sure you should?
[16:23] ---
    What will happen to your beloved Takitsubo?
[16:30] ---
    Oh, what should I start burning first?
[16:33] ---
    Maybe I'll torch this
    little face until it sizzles.
[16:39] ---
    What are you playing the tragic heroine for?
[16:43] ---
    You're not simply a helpless
    princess, are you?
[16:45] ---
    I thought you had the
    strength to fight, don't you?
[16:51] ---
    If you're too scared to take
    the ability crystal, you can run.
[16:53] ---
    But Hamazura will be charred
    to death if you do,
[16:57] ---
    because you left him here to die.
[17:01] ---
    That's it, that's it! Hurry up and
    swallow your ace-in-the-hole ability crystal!
[17:07] ---
    Hamazura...
[17:08] ---
    Mugino!!
[17:15] ---
    What was that, Hamazura?
[17:18] ---
    Who was it you were trying to protect?
[17:21] ---
    I can't help it if you
    finish her off yourself!
[17:26] ---
    Huh?
[17:28] ---
    Mugino Shizuri!
[17:30] ---
    It looks like killing you once wasn't enough!
[17:34] ---
    No, not enough. Not enough at all!
[17:41] ---
    Are you mocking me, Hamazura?!
[17:44] ---
    What kind of ninja do you think you are,
    using a smokescreen?! Come on!
[18:08] ---
    I did it!
[18:10] ---
    Hamazura...
[18:13] ---
    Did you think common mass-produced
    weapons would be enough
[18:18] ---
    to take down the 4th-ranked Meltdowner,
[18:21] ---
    Hamazura?
[18:31] ---
    Is this an endurance
    testing room for air drag?
[18:35] ---
    Come on, this is ridiculous.
[18:38] ---
    Neither I nor Kakine Teitoku
    have been allowed to even die.
[18:42] ---
    It seems that the governing
    board chairman wants to use us--
[18:46] ---
    to use our Level 5 abilities so badly,
    he even did this to our bodies.
[18:50] ---
    Tell me, Hamazura,
[18:52] ---
    how did I become such a hideous monster?
[18:57] ---
    Mugino...
[18:58] ---
    Is that what you want me to say, Hamazura?!
[19:05] ---
    Why are you shaking like a leaf?
[19:08] ---
    As long as you're at it, why don't
    you let out a rare and amusing scream?!
[19:14] ---
    I'm going to coat you
    in melted iron and let it cool,
[19:17] ---
    to turn you into a fascinating work of art!
[19:25] ---
    Huh?
[19:28] ---
    Warning, experiment commencing.
[19:31] ---
    Hamazura!
[19:42] ---
    Is it... over?
[19:44] ---
    Aleister is such a worrywart.
[19:47] ---
    It seems that he put up more
    robust barriers against me than I thought.
[19:56] ---
    Damn you...
[19:58] ---
    I hate to do this,
    after you fought so hard already,
[20:02] ---
    but apparently, I have
    the ability to change my form.
[20:13] ---
    Hamazura... Hamazura!
[20:21] ---
    Hamazura,
[20:22] ---
    listen to me. Get ultra-away
    from there, right this instant.
[20:26] ---
    Kinuhata?
[20:27] ---
    There's a detached force
    from Academy City on its way to you.
[20:30] ---
    Take Takitsubo and ultra-run away, fast!
[20:33] ---
    R-Run away where?
[20:39] ---
    Aleister, you wouldn't happen
    to admire them, would you?
[20:45] ---
    Those who follow the feelings
    that spring up within them
[20:48] ---
    without having to be told by anyone to do so,
[20:50] ---
    and try to keep going straight forward?
[20:53] ---
    Those who have committed
    great mistakes in the past,
[20:55] ---
    and even while struggling with their sins,
[20:57] ---
    "I swear I will save the kid's life"
[20:58] ---
    try to keep moving down the right path?
[21:01] ---
    Those who, without being chosen by anyone,
[21:03] ---
    and without having anything
    even close to qualifications,
[21:07] ---
    can become a hero for
    the sake of someone they love?
[21:12] ---
    Each of them are people who,
    no matter how often they're beaten down,
[21:16] ---
    still get back up on their feet.
[21:20] ---
    They seem to be equipped
    with something you don't have.
[21:25] ---
    As such, it's only natural
    for you to want to be like them.
[21:28] ---
    After all, at the time, all you
    could do was slump down and lament.
[21:35] ---
    Aiwass, I will make use of anything I can.
[21:40] ---
    Even if that means using you.
[21:44] ---
    Allow me to say something, as well.
[21:47] ---
    That there is no guarantee anywhere
[21:50] ---
    that the absolute advantage
    you have will last forever.
[21:58] ---
    The girl is a difficult matter.
    She will most definitely perish at some point.
[22:05] ---
    If you don't want to mourn later,
[22:07] ---
    you should proceed down a path
    other than the one you're already on.
[22:12] ---
    Go to Russia. Specifically,
    the Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations.
[22:19] ---
    Remember the term "Index
    Librorum Prohibitorum."
[22:24] ---
    There will be an
    important item pertaining to it.
[22:34] ---
    Russia...
[22:43] ---
    Hamazura, what is it?
[22:45] ---
    It's nothing.
[22:52] ---
    Don't leave me.
[22:55] ---
    All right.
[22:56] ---
    As if I'd leave you.
[22:59] ---
    Damn it, I'll never leave you, understand?
[23:20] ---
    Just you wait.
[23:25] ---
    "Preview"
[23:26] ---
    Academy City and Russia.
    Everything becomes embroiled and it begins.
[23:29] ---
    What begins?
    That much is obvious. World War III.
[23:33] ---
    Next time, "The Alliance
    of Independent Nations."
[23:35] ---
    When science and magic cross paths,
    the story begins.
[23:40] ---
    
[23:42] ---
