    In order to stop Angel Fall,\nthe only options we have\n
[00:33] ---
    are to defeat the caster,\nor destroy the ritual ground.\n
[00:37] ---
    After Misha makes some questionable moves,\n
[00:39] ---
    Tsuchimikado and I follow her to\nthe recently moved-into Kamijo home,\n
[00:42] ---
    which is to say, my new actual home.\n
[00:45] ---
    However, something else was\nwaiting for us when we got there...\n

[02:23] ---
    Dad...\n
[02:26] ---
    You're back, are you?\nIs your mom with you?\n
[02:32] ---
    How do you like the new house?\n
[02:35] ---
    --Hmm? What? Why the stern face? Did you and Mom get into a fight?\n
[02:40] ---
    --Why?\n--Hmm? What? Why the stern face? Did you and Mom get into a fight?\n
[02:42] ---
    Why did you get involved in the occult?\n
[02:45] ---
    Hey, now, what are--\n
[02:46] ---
    Don't play innocent! \n
[02:48] ---
    I asked you why you're\nplaying at being a sorcerer!\n
[02:56] ---
    Oh, I see. Well, where do I begin?\n
[03:01] ---
    Toma, do you remember\nwhat everyone around called you\n
[03:05] ---
    when you were a little kid?\n
[03:10] ---
    They called you a jinx.\n
[03:14] ---
    For whatever reason, \n
[03:16] ---
    one unlucky thing after\nanother happened around you.\n
[03:20] ---
    In time, it wasn't just your friends,\n
[03:21] ---
    but even the adults\nstarted giving you a wide berth.\n
[03:27] ---
    That was the reason why\nI sent you to Academy City.\n
[03:31] ---
    You were terrifying to people\nwho are driven by superstitions.\n
[03:36] ---
    And so, I sent you into a\nworld without such superstitions.\n
[03:44] ---
    However, even in that city of science,\n
[03:47] ---
    you began to be treated like an ill-fortuned wretch.\n
[03:50] ---
    If not even science\ncould eliminate your bad luck,\n
[03:53] ---
    then how exactly could you get rid of it?
[03:57] ---
    And so, I decided to turn to the occult.\n
[04:02] ---
    Ludicrous, isn't it? Clinging to superstitions,\n
[04:05] ---
    in the hopes of eliminating other superstitions.\n
[04:08] ---
    You stupid idiot.\n
[04:10] ---
    Yeah, I may have rotten luck, but still,\n
[04:14] ---
    did I ever once say that I regretted it?\n
[04:17] ---
    You've gotta be kidding me!\n
[04:18] ---
    No matter what happens to me,\nI will walk down my own path!\n
[04:25] ---
    You were happy with it?\n
[04:30] ---
    I'm such a fool.\n
[04:33] ---
    So you're telling me that I tried\nto take that happiness from you.\n
[04:37] ---
    But then, I did know that\ncollecting all of those souvenirs\n
[04:41] ---
    wasn't going to change anything.\n
[04:46] ---
    Souvenirs?\n
[04:47] ---
    Yeah. I'm going to give up my souvenir hunting.\n
[04:51] ---
    J-Just a second. Dad, aren't you\nthe one who brought on Angel Fall?\n
[04:56] ---
    Angel Fall? What country\ndoes that souvenir come from?\n
[05:02] ---
    Let me ask you something.\nDo you know where Mom is right now?\n
[05:07] ---
    You went after your mom. \n
[05:10] ---
    You're the one who ought to know, aren't you?\n
[05:12] ---
    He isn't aware of the switch? \n
[05:15] ---
    Which would mean he's\nunder the influence of Angel Fall.\n
[05:18] ---
    Hey, Misha!\n
[05:23] ---
    Thanks for taking the trouble to accompany Mom.\n
[05:27] ---
    Hold on, Misha.\n
[05:29] ---
    It's true, Dad has\nnot switched with anyone else.\n
[05:32] ---
    But he hasn't noticed any\nof the changes around him, either.\n
[05:36] ---
    Couldn't that mean...\n
[05:37] ---
    Response one: Self-explanatory.\n
[05:42] ---
    Target acquisition complete.\n
[05:44] ---
    Opinion one:\nIt was a very trivial solution.\n
[05:48] ---
    Misha...\n
[05:50] ---
    You're not supposed to kill\nanyone without divine orders.\n
[05:54] ---
    Have you even forgotten that?\n
[05:57] ---
    I will take over from here.\nPlease take Mr. Toya away from here,\n
[06:01] ---
    as quickly as you can.\n
[06:03] ---
    Misha has it all wrong. Dad isn't...\n
[06:06] ---
    Her name is not Misha.\n
[06:10] ---
    I made an inquiry to\nthe Russian Orthodox Church.\n
[06:13] ---
    They were only able to confirm\na person named Sasha Kruezhev.\n
[06:17] ---
    This is probably an\nassumed form that she switched into.\n
[06:21] ---
    What do you mean? If Misha isn't\nwith the Russian Orthodox Church...\n
[06:26] ---
    There are beings in this\nworld without a fixed gender,\n
[06:29] ---
    who are always portrayed in\nmythology as having dual gender.\n
[06:33] ---
    For them, a name is the objective\nthey have in being created by God.\n
[06:39] ---
    There is no way they would\nbe swapping with others at random.\n
[06:42] ---
    Hold on, I'm not following.\n
[06:44] ---
    Have you forgotten the name\nby which this grand spell is called?\n
[06:58] ---
    What is this?\n
[07:00] ---
    I see. Make it night, in order\nto strengthen her own attributes.\n
[07:05] ---
    Controlling the blue, symbolic of the water,\n
[07:08] ---
    guardian of the moon, and protector of the rear,\n
[07:11] ---
    her name is "The Power of God."\n
[07:25] ---
    A sweep--a deluge of\nflaming arrows that has previously\n
[07:29] ---
    burned out entire corrupted civilizations.\n
[07:32] ---
    For the sake of a single order,\nthat you return to Heaven,\n
[07:35] ---
    you would destroy this entire world?\n
[07:39] ---
    You can't be serious.\n
[07:40] ---
    What do you think you're doing?\n
[07:43] ---
    She didn't touch my right hand.\n
[07:46] ---
    That means that my Imagine\nBreaker works on angels, too, right?\n
[07:50] ---
    No.\n
[07:52] ---
    From here forward is not man's fight.\n
[07:55] ---
    There is something else that you must do.\n
[07:59] ---
    You and Mr. Toya together must stop Angel Fall.\n
[08:02] ---
    By doing so, it will no longer\nbe necessary for The Power of God\n
[08:05] ---
    to come after Mr. Toya, or unleash the sweep.\n
[08:08] ---
    There isn't any time.\n
[08:09] ---
    Hurry, before the formula is complete!\n
[08:13] ---
    Kanzaki...\n
[08:15] ---
    I don't intend to throw away my life here.\n
[08:19] ---
    Just as you once saved that girl in front of me,\n
[08:22] ---
    I would be most grateful if this time, you would save my life.
[08:31] ---
    Toma, what on Earth...?\n
[08:33] ---
    I'll leave you to it, Kanzaki!\n
[08:36] ---
    H-Hey!\n
[08:40] ---
    You will now have to face me!\n
[09:05] ---
    Now then, as I employ my\nSingle Flash, I reveal my name--\n
[09:08] ---
    Salvare000!\n
[09:16] ---
    Well, now, this is not turning out well.\n
[09:19] ---
    Sorry about this, Kami,\n
[09:22] ---
    but it looks like we're going to\nhave to offer someone as a sacrifice\n
[09:25] ---
    if we're going to get this\nsituation under control.\n
[09:33] ---
    When you think about it, this is so reckless.\n
[09:35] ---
    Myself being with the Church of the Cross,\n
[09:37] ---
    there's no way I can defeat an\nangel with the Church of the Cross.\n
[09:42] ---
    Nonetheless...!\n
[09:47] ---
    Nonetheless, I am not any ordinary\nmember of the Church of the Cross.\n
[09:51] ---
    My form is of Amakusa Puritanism,\n
[09:54] ---
    the independent form of\nthe Church of the Cross in Japan,\n
[09:57] ---
    born of the flock during\nthe Edo period crackdown!\n
[10:01] ---
    Its essence is a fusion of diverse religions.\n
[10:05] ---
    In order to escape the crackdown,\n
[10:06] ---
    It is a so-called original form,\n
[10:08] ---
    merged together with Shinto and Buddhism.\n
[10:12] ---
    Meaning that while a Church of\nthe Cross member cannot defeat an angel,\n
[10:15] ---
    one of a Japanese Shinto form can!\n
[10:23] ---
    The polytheism of Japanese Shinto\neven has forms to counter gods.\n
[10:29] ---
    Among its commandments are\n"Thou shalt not harm a god,"\n
[10:33] ---
    but then, why was there a\nneed to come up with a law like that?\n
[10:52] ---
    There's no reason why\nI should still be safe and sound\n
[10:54] ---
    while going head-to-head against The Power of God.\n
[11:03] ---
    If this keeps up, it will end up\na ceaseless battle of wear and tear.\n
[11:07] ---
    And meanwhile, the sweep will be carried out.\n
[11:10] ---
    Please, Kamijo Toma,\n
[11:13] ---
    put a stop to Angel Fall as soon as possible!\n
[11:26] ---
    What's the matter? Wake up!\n
[11:30] ---
    Has she been put to\nsleep with drugs or something?\n
[11:32] ---
    Who on Earth would do such a thing?\n
[11:35] ---
    Toma!\n
[11:41] ---
    Explain it to me.\nTell me what exactly is going on!\n
[11:46] ---
    Listen, Dad, as things stand,\na lot of people will die.\n
[11:50] ---
    The only way to stop it from\nhappening is to cancel out Angel Fall.\n
[11:54] ---
    And what is this "Angel--\n
[11:56] ---
    Stop playing dumb! \n
[11:58] ---
    At least show me where the ritual ground is!\n
[12:00] ---
    Leave him alone, Kami.\n
[12:03] ---
    Tsuchimikado...\n
[12:04] ---
    Haven't you figured out the truth yet?\n
[12:08] ---
    Well, I can't blame you.\n
[12:10] ---
    You are a novice to all this magic stuff, after all.\n
[12:14] ---
    What do you mean, the truth?\n
[12:17] ---
    You mean, my dad isn't\nthe one who activated Angel Fall?\n
[12:21] ---
    No, the culprit\nis without a doubt Kamijo Toya.\n
[12:25] ---
    Although, he seems\nabsolutely unaware of it himself.\n
[12:29] ---
    What do you mean?\n
[12:31] ---
    I thought you needed a large-scale\nritual ground to invoke Angel Fall.\n
[12:35] ---
    Yes.\n
[12:37] ---
    We found the ritual ground,\nKami. Your new house.\n
[12:40] ---
    The good luck charms,\nthe folk art, the occult goods--\n
[12:44] ---
    individually, they don't mean a thing.\n
[12:46] ---
    However, when all placed in the correct feng shui arrangement,
[12:51] ---
    they create a synergistic effect,\nand become a single great power.\n
[12:56] ---
    There was that red post\nbox in the foyer, remember?\n
[12:59] ---
    Red is an attribute of the south.\n
[13:02] ---
    There was a water\nguardian turtle in the bathroom,\n
[13:04] ---
    and metal guardian white tigers in the kitchen.\n
[13:08] ---
    With the additional three thousand\ngood luck charms there,\n
[13:11] ---
    the whole house becomes a temple.\n
[13:15] ---
    When your parents\nleft the house empty to come here,\n
[13:18] ---
    the ritual ground was complete,\nand must have activated.\n
[13:22] ---
    Just by accident?\n
[13:24] ---
    Yes, by accident.\n
[13:26] ---
    Angel Fall is no more than a\nspell that was invoked by chance.\n
[13:31] ---
    If we had interfered carelessly,\n
[13:33] ---
    there was even the possibility\nof a more serious spell.\n
[13:37] ---
    In order to cancel out that magic circle,\n
[13:39] ---
    we'll have to destroy the\nwhole thing in one shot. Otherwise...\n
[13:44] ---
    ...we have no choice\nbut to bring down the caster?\n
[13:47] ---
    But what can we do?\nAfter all, I can't use magic anymore.\n
[13:52] ---
    I have to say, at times like this,\n
[13:55] ---
    the church gives out\nsome very interesting work orders.\n
[13:59] ---
    I won't let you! \n
[14:00] ---
    Back off, Kami. You'll just get hurt.\n
[14:04] ---
    Toma!\n
[14:04] ---
    Keep back!\n
[14:06] ---
    I don't accept this! If there's\nsome cruel law that demands \n
[14:10] ---
    that there be a sacrifice, \n
[14:12] ---
    then I'm gonna cut through that illusion first!\n
[14:22] ---
    Toma!\n
[14:23] ---
    Stay down, rookie!\n
[14:25] ---
    If you want something with me,\nthen have at it!\n
[14:28] ---
    Just don't do anything else to Toma!\n
[14:31] ---
    Oh, yeah?\n
[14:32] ---
    I absolutely will not stand\nfor you hurting Toma any further!\n
[14:37] ---
    Don't make me laugh. You don't\nthink that you can take me, do you?\n
[14:41] ---
    No, I don't. But still,\nif you hurt Toma any further,\n
[14:45] ---
    I will make you pay!\n
[14:48] ---
    And do you know why?\nBecause I am Kamijo Toma's father!\n
[14:53] ---
    Dad...\n
[14:56] ---
    Don't, Toma! If you protect me,\nthen no one will be spared!\n
[15:01] ---
    Don't be ridiculous. \n
[15:04] ---
    There will be someone spared, right here.\n
[15:06] ---
    I am Kamijo Toya's son!\n
[15:09] ---
    Toma...\n
[15:11] ---
    Hmph, you've finally come around.\nFine, I'll acknowledge it.\n
[15:16] ---
    As of this moment, Kamijo Toma\nand Tsuchimikado Motoharu are enemies.\n
[15:27] ---
    Well, well, finished already?\n
[15:36] ---
    Toma!\n
[15:46] ---
    Dad...\n
[15:48] ---
    Now then...\n
[15:50] ---
    All right, everyone...\n
[15:53] ---
    ...time to enjoy a little\nnothing-up-my-sleeves magic.\n
[15:57] ---
    Our stage today will be right here.\n
[16:00] ---
    We'll start with a little\nbothersome stage-setting.\n
[16:05] ---
    Now then, allow me\nto introduce my magic troupe.\n
[16:10] ---
    Time to work, you fools.\n
[16:11] ---
    Suzaku...\n
[16:14] ---
    Seiryu...\n
[16:16] ---
    Genbu...\n
[16:19] ---
    Byakko...\n
[16:23] ---
    The pistol is complete. Now, to load it.\n
[16:29] ---
    Magic...?\n
[16:31] ---
    For the bullet, an extremely violent,\neven ridiculous thing;\n
[16:36] ---
    for the pistol, a barrier.\n
[16:38] ---
    For the bullet, a shikigami spirit...
[16:40] ---
    Hold on. I thought Tsuchimikado\ncouldn't use magic anymore.\n
[16:45] ---
    For the trigger, my own hand...\n
[16:54] ---
    Didn't I tell you, Kami?\n
[16:58] ---
    There are two ways to stop Angel Fall--\n
[17:02] ---
    killing the caster,\nor destroying the magic circle.\n
[17:06] ---
    Stop...!\n
[17:07] ---
    Heh, Kami, you remind me a lot of Kanzaki.\n
[17:12] ---
    If she knew I was using this method,\n
[17:14] ---
    she undoubtedly would have\ndone everything in her power to stop it.\n
[17:17] ---
    Isn't that right? Otherwise,\nthere'd be no sense in protecting us.\n
[17:21] ---
    I am sorry to have beat you up so much.\n
[17:24] ---
    With my forms, I can blow\nthat whole ritual ground away...\n
[17:30] ---
    Stop, Tsuchimikado!\n
[17:32] ---
    I'm afraid I can't grant that request.\n
[17:37] ---
    Kami, I am actually... a liar.\n
[18:31] ---
    It looks like I owe\nyou another one, Kamijo Toma.\n
[18:52] ---
    Dad! Wake up, Dad!\n
[19:01] ---
    Tsuchimikado...\n
[19:08] ---
    "First of all, welcome\nhome, right? Kamijo Toma?"\n
[19:21] ---
    What was it for, damn it? \n
[19:23] ---
    It doesn't do any good to\nnot have you around, does it?!\n
[19:27] ---
    Long time no see, Kami.\n
[19:30] ---
    How have you been?\n
[19:32] ---
    Huh? What? You look like you've seen a ghost.\n
[19:37] ---
    B-But I was sure you used\nmagic back there, and died, didn't you?\n
[19:40] ---
    Ah, that was a lie.\n
[19:43] ---
    Huh?!\n
[19:44] ---
    My ability may be a meager one,\nbut I can regenerate my body.\n
[19:49] ---
    Between you and me, I can use\nmagic at least a few more times.\n
[19:53] ---
    It's just a pain to have to spell it all out.\n
[19:56] ---
    A pain?\n
[19:57] ---
    Tsuchimikado is basically a big liar.\n
[20:01] ---
    That part about sneaking into\nAcademy City as a spy was a lie.\n
[20:05] ---
    Actually, I'm a counterspy, \n
[20:06] ---
    only pretending to be on the\nEnglish Puritan Church's side.\n
[20:09] ---
    What's worse,\nto tell the truth, that's a lie, too.\n
[20:12] ---
    In fact, I'm a multiple-spy,\nhired by all sorts of agencies.\n
[20:16] ---
    Now, look...\n
[20:18] ---
    And, all's well that ends well.\n
[20:21] ---
    As a small token of good faith,\nI brought someone here with me.\n
[20:24] ---
    It's true. Hitotsui Hajime was really there.\n
[20:29] ---
    Mom...?\n
[20:34] ---
    How are you feeling, Toma?\n
[20:36] ---
    Oh, uh, well...\nI'm finally getting accustomed to it.\n
[20:42] ---
    Oh, my, I can't have\nyou becoming accustomed\n
[20:45] ---
    to being hurt and hospitalized.\n
[20:47] ---
    Toma, I'm glad you're looking well.\n
[20:51] ---
    Yeah, you too, Dad.\n
[20:54] ---
    Our house is gone now,\nbut compared to your safety, it's nothing.\n
[20:59] ---
    Huh? Your house is what, now?\n
[21:02] ---
    The new house that we had built \n
[21:04] ---
    was blown to bits by a mysterious explosion.\n
[21:11] ---
    Tsuchimikado...?\n
[21:13] ---
    Well, what can you do?\nWe'll have to stay in the old house again\n
[21:16] ---
    until we can rebuild it.\n
[21:19] ---
    The old house?\n
[21:21] ---
    Yeah, that old rental unit.\nThere are still places available.\n
[21:26] ---
    The same place we lived, ever\nsince we got married and had you,\n
[21:30] ---
    up until we moved.\n
[21:32] ---
    The one that you\ngroaned about being too cramped.\n
[21:36] ---
    Oh, yeah.\n
[21:38] ---
    Toma...\n
[21:44] ---
    W-What's wrong, Index?\nWhy are you just standing over there?\n
[21:50] ---
    Toma, you strangled me.\n
[21:58] ---
    Toma, you buried me up to my neck.\n
[22:01] ---
    Oh, you see, there's a good reason for that...\n
[22:03] ---
    Toma, you smooshed me behind a door!\n
[22:06] ---
    That one wasn't me!\n
[22:07] ---
    I was on the floor, and you just ignored me!\n
[22:10] ---
    Ah... that was me. I mean...!\n
[22:13] ---
    Er, you see...\n
[22:18] ---
    Just my luck!\n
[22:37] ---
    *Hey, do you hear that? *
[22:40] ---
