[00:00] ---
    This is a fight to defend the world
    and all the people who live in it.
[00:05] ---
    "Russian president declares
    war on Academy City"
[00:06] ---
    All of the environmental destruction
    that is happening today all over the world,
[00:09] ---
    and the problems of petroleum
    and other fossil fuel shortages,
[00:14] ---
    have Academy City's peculiar brand
    of science and technology as their cause.
[00:18] ---
    Unless we stem the sedition
    of their unregulated technology,
[00:23] ---
    every living thing on
    this planet will be exterminated.
[00:28] ---
    Academy City needs to enact a total freeze
[00:30] ---
    to all projects they are carrying out
    throughout the world immediately.
[00:35] ---
    Also, they must disclose their
    state-of-the-art technology to us!
[00:41] ---
    Are you kidding me?
[00:42] ---
    If they reject our proposal,
    as we seek for peace,
[00:46] ---
    we will consider Academy City
    to be an evil entity,
[00:50] ---
    concerned not with
    integrating with the world,
[00:52] ---
    but instead only with their own interests,
[00:55] ---
    exposing all other creatures
    living in the world to danger.
[00:59] ---
    We will await Academy City's answer
[01:02] ---
    by midnight on October 19th,
    Moscow Standard Time.
[01:09] ---
    If no response is received by that time,
[01:12] ---
    we will take their intent to be hostile,
    and will commence an invasion,
[01:17] ---
    with the use of intercontinental
    ballistic missiles on the table!
[01:44] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index III"
[02:55] ---
    "#18 The Alliance of Independent Nations"
[03:10] ---
    We have no other choice.
[03:25] ---
    I'm absolutely... absolutely
    not going to hurt the cashier.
[03:31] ---
    The only thing I need is inside the register.
    The gun is just for pointing.
[03:36] ---
    This is a stick-up! Get your hands up...
[03:40] ---
    This is a stick-up. Get your hands...
[03:49] ---
    Hamazura...
[03:52] ---
    Actually, the cashier was so grateful,
    she gave me lots of gifts.
[04:07] ---
    "Where are we?" asks Misaka Misaka,
    looking around.
[04:12] ---
    We're inside a train.
[04:16] ---
    I finally get to see
    your face again after so long.
[04:23] ---
    How did this happen? Why does
    the kid have to go through all this?
[04:34] ---
    They're coming after us?
[04:36] ---
    "Don't fight again like
    you did before, okay?"
[04:39] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka.
[04:42] ---
    Yeah, I promise.
[04:51] ---
    You pieces of trash,
[04:53] ---
    stop getting on my nerves!
[05:00] ---
    Yes... I am the magic library
    affiliated with Necessarius,
[05:06] ---
    the 0th parish of the
    English Puritan Church...
[05:12] ---
    My formal name is Index...
[05:16] ---
    I have to destroy that remote
    control magical item as soon as possible.
[05:21] ---
    But that aside,
[05:23] ---
    what are you doing here, Lessar?
[05:25] ---
    Hmm?
[05:27] ---
    It's not as though I'm under
    orders from the British royal family,
[05:31] ---
    or have a grudge against
    this Fiamma of the Right guy,
[05:34] ---
    or any sort of agenda like that.
[05:37] ---
    I was just thinking that
    if you dying out here
[05:39] ---
    wouldn't be in the best interests
    of Britain, as a whole,
[05:42] ---
    then maybe it would be best
    for me to lend you some support.
[05:55] ---
    Besides, things would be a
    lot easier if you had someone along
[05:58] ---
    who spoke Russian,
    and could interpret for you, right?
[06:01] ---
    What I meant was, as a basic premise,
[06:04] ---
    how did you come by word that
    I was sneaking into Russia, anyway?
[06:10] ---
    Uh-huh... You don't think
    it's not fair to Index,
[06:13] ---
    who's currently lying in
    the cathedral in London, do you?
[06:17] ---
    That you had a rendezvous with
    the very first woman you had a chance with?
[06:22] ---
    Then I have some welcome news for you.
[06:25] ---
    I, Lessar, am not wearing leggings
    under my skirt; just my panties.
[06:31] ---
    That information does me absolutely no good.
[06:34] ---
    What am I supposed to do with it?
[06:37] ---
    Swing around behind me and flip my skirt up!
[06:40] ---
    Forget all about your previous woman!
[06:43] ---
    No one would blame me if I slugged
    you for what you just said to me.
[06:55] ---
    Follow what's out of place,
    and we'll end up where Fiamma is.
[06:58] ---
    Out of place?
[07:00] ---
    Take the map, for example.
[07:02] ---
    It has military information on it,
    but I could buy it like anything.
[07:05] ---
    Oh, so you're saying...
[07:08] ---
    Yeah. They don't want
    anyone to think it's important.
[07:11] ---
    So is it inconceivable that they'd
    deliberately lower their security level?
[07:16] ---
    Oh...
[07:30] ---
    We've finished deploying a mixed force
    with both puritans and knights.
[07:35] ---
    I'd like to avoid any
    engagements wherever possible.
[07:38] ---
    France remaining passive under
    these circumstances is not a possibility.
[07:43] ---
    Whether it's as the
    Roman Orthodoxy's advance force,
[07:46] ---
    or to bring an end to their historical
    and magical animosity with Britain,
[07:53] ---
    it's impossible to say.
[07:54] ---
    Interference from France confirmed.
    They're coming.
[07:58] ---
    Please be on the lookout.
[08:22] ---
    If they get through here,
    they'll have a straight shot to London.
[08:39] ---
    We're at a disadvantage
    aboard ships that are stuck in place.
[08:42] ---
    And down here in the salt...
[08:45] ---
    What good will it do to lose your cool here?
[08:48] ---
    You people are the fighting force
    defending Britain, you know!
[09:07] ---
    S-Second Princess Carissa!
[09:26] ---
    Fiamma must have created a secret route
[09:29] ---
    to bring his magical materials into the base.
[09:32] ---
    Just as I predicted. Hmm?
[09:35] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:36] ---
    Aren't you hot?
[09:37] ---
    No. Aren't you cold?
[09:40] ---
    Ugh, this is hopeless.
[09:42] ---
    I'll have to undo the buttons on my shirt,
[09:45] ---
    and flap my skirt!
[09:48] ---
    What is with you? I don't get
    your out-of-the-blue behavior!
[09:52] ---
    I'm trying to seduce you,
    so respond, will you?!
[09:54] ---
    Just bowl me over and get the deed done,
[09:57] ---
    and just like that, the British
    will have another advance force!
[10:01] ---
    Uh-huh... So she's a girl who
    just blurts stuff out with a smile,
[10:04] ---
    not actually knowing what
    any of her sexy talk means.
[10:08] ---
    If I, as someone a little bit older
    than you, might have a word here,
[10:12] ---
    what you're saying is really very
    dangerous, okay? Be more careful.
[10:16] ---
    Okay! I read you!
[10:18] ---
    Now, allow me to explicitly
    demonstrate just how serious I am!
[10:28] ---
    We need to have a
    serious talk after this is over.
[10:39] ---
    Russian soldiers--or no, sorcerers?
[10:42] ---
    Yes, they're probably
    with the Russian Church.
[10:45] ---
    They'll spot us sooner or later
    if we stay here. Let's go.
[10:53] ---
    Crap!
[11:05] ---
    He's not dead, right?
[11:07] ---
    Killing him would have been easier.
[11:16] ---
    It's necessary.
[11:18] ---
    This is a "space."
    Both coordinates and volume are crucial.
[11:24] ---
    To me, this is even more
    important than Moscow.
[11:28] ---
    You have to look at it from
    Project B'Tselem's perspective.
[11:33] ---
    That's--!
[11:37] ---
    I want the results of the survey at once.
[11:40] ---
    You don't want things to end
    with you as a bishop, do you?
[11:45] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[11:46] ---
    If you make a scene, all the soldiers
    on the base will come running.
[11:50] ---
    If you charge straight in from here,
    you'll never reach Fiamma.
[11:55] ---
    Yes, yes, that's a good boy.
    The Elizalina Alliance of Independent Nations.
[12:01] ---
    That definitely explains why
    I couldn't find Sasha Kruezhev,
[12:05] ---
    even after searching all over Russia for her.
[12:18] ---
    We were so close!
[12:20] ---
    Let's hurry. If we can catch Sasha first,
[12:23] ---
    we can spend the time and effort
    to set up a surprise attack on Fiamma.
[12:28] ---
    The Elizalina Alliance
    of Independent Nations...
[12:43] ---
    It's no problem...
[12:45] ---
    I'm fine... So Hamazura,
    let's hurry up and get moving...
[12:51] ---
    No problem? I don't care
    who you ask, that's not normal.
[12:55] ---
    An adverse effect of the ability crystal.
[12:57] ---
    What do I do?
[13:05] ---
    She looks like she needs a doctor.
[13:08] ---
    You speak Japanese?
[13:10] ---
    Who are you?
[13:11] ---
    "Give and take."
    My village is out of fuel for our generator.
[13:17] ---
    If you share some of yours with me,
    I'll show the girl to our doctor.
[13:23] ---
    How about it?
[13:31] ---
    We will not impose any coercion
    upon the Japanese government.
[13:32] ---
    "Academy City intercepts
    ballistic missiles in outer space"
[13:35] ---
    However, we are also under no obligation
    to defend anyone other than allies.
[13:40] ---
    You're saying that if the
    government pressures Academy City,
[13:42] ---
    you will remove the rest of the country
[13:44] ---
    from the protective umbrella
    of the satellite missile interceptors?
[13:47] ---
    Is that supposed to be a threat?!
[13:59] ---
    I've been wondering about this for a while,
[14:01] ---
    but what's up with that strap there?
[14:03] ---
    Hmm? His name is "Gekota."
    I don't know much about him, myself, though.
[14:08] ---
    A fancy mascot like that,
    and you don't know any details?
[14:11] ---
    Hmm, sounds like there's a girl involved.
[14:15] ---
    Listen here.
[14:17] ---
    Do you understand the situation we're in?
[14:27] ---
    So this is the Elizalina
    Alliance of Independent Nations.
[14:40] ---
    That's the woman the Elizalina Alliance
    of Independent Nations is named for.
[14:45] ---
    She's the holy woman who worked
[14:48] ---
    to make several states within
    Russia independent, and integrated them.
[14:52] ---
    I understand that Fiamma
    of the Right is coming here.
[14:55] ---
    Yeah, probably. Wait, do you know
    what Fiamma of the Right refers to?
[15:02] ---
    I may not be very skilled at it,
    but I am a sorceress.
[15:07] ---
    Fiamma of the Right is a primary
    figure behind this war--or rather,
[15:10] ---
    behind an invasion into my land.
[15:14] ---
    I'd like to take this opportunity
    to defeat him. However...
[15:18] ---
    I will by no means have the lives of
    Alliance of Independent Nations citizens
[15:23] ---
    lost as a result of any fighting.
[15:25] ---
    Are you saying we can do as we like?
[15:28] ---
    No. Your objective, as well
    as Fiamma's, is Sasha Kruezhev.
[15:34] ---
    Which is to say...
[15:36] ---
    You're going to send us,
    along with Sasha, out of the country,
[15:39] ---
    and once there, carry out an
    operation against Fiamma, right?
[15:45] ---
    It won't bother me if you consider me
    to be a cold-hearted person.
[15:49] ---
    Nope. I mean, we're trying to use
    you to find out where Sasha is.
[15:55] ---
    In fact, we can be grateful that you
    didn't handcuff us, no questions asked.
[16:00] ---
    We may be operating on different scales,
[16:02] ---
    but you also have those
    you're trying to protect, don't you?
[16:06] ---
    And I almost had her taken from me
    because it took so long to realize it.
[16:12] ---
    There still might be time if I act now.
[16:15] ---
    So, how do we act?
[16:17] ---
    A strategy session, at this stage?
[16:21] ---
    It's too late for that now.
[16:32] ---
    Incoming!
[16:47] ---
    Hmm. It's hard to take aim
    when dealing with sizes this great.
[16:58] ---
    What kind of off-the-charts attack was that?!
[17:01] ---
    Fiamma...
[17:03] ---
    The real attack is just starting!
[17:14] ---
    Imagine Breaker!
[17:22] ---
    Oh, I thought you might have learned
    something from Britain the Halloween.
[17:46] ---
    I see.
[17:47] ---
    Apparently, your wall was a bit
    too hard for me to easily break it.
[17:52] ---
    Bellagi! Rongier! Stay back!
[17:55] ---
    Don't sell me so short.
[18:00] ---
    Fiamma!
[18:01] ---
    You're the main dish. One that needs
    to be prepared before eating.
[18:07] ---
    With my right hand, I could...
[18:10] ---
    But can I really guard
    against every last attack?
[18:15] ---
    Just take up a defensive posture
    and guard, and still help Index?
[18:24] ---
    Stay out of this.
[18:37] ---
    Take me on! You know the reason
    why I'm fighting, don't you?!
[18:40] ---
    What's this? I thought I told you
    you were the main dish.
[18:44] ---
    You're offering yourself up first?
[18:58] ---
    Did you know...
[19:00] ---
    that modern sorcerers,
    as established in the 19th century,
[19:04] ---
    dislike taking collective
    action as a basic principle?
[19:06] ---
    What are you getting at?
[19:08] ---
    I'm just saying, there's someone here
    about to be killed right before their eyes.
[19:12] ---
    There are also hundreds,
    if not thousands of innocent civilians
[19:17] ---
    who will soon be killed by the
    invasion that's taking place soon.
[19:21] ---
    Do you think that under these circumstances,
[19:23] ---
    a powerful sorcerer could
    just sit idly by in hiding?
[19:29] ---
    Sasha Kruezhev!
[19:31] ---
    Today must be my lucky day.
[19:38] ---
    I never would have dreamed that
    I'd achieve two of my objectives so easily.
[19:49] ---
    There's an old familiar face.
[19:53] ---
    I'm not particularly obliged
    to give these people any help,
[19:58] ---
    but I can't stand watching you disrupting
    the Roman Orthodox Church anymore!
[20:04] ---
    I've heard that you can't use
    your trademark Divine Retribution.
[20:08] ---
    Did you think that's all
    it would take for me to quit?
[20:26] ---
    Tch, they went and got attacked
    before I got here.
[20:29] ---
    Who could so thoroughly level
    a Russian military base like this?
[20:34] ---
    Heh, that's an easy riddle.
    The culprit is Academy City.
[20:39] ---
    Is this what they were after?
[20:45] ---
    Huh? What are they clinging so carefully to?
[20:51] ---
    Interesting. An operation on the
    same level as my recovery mission, eh?
[20:57] ---
    I'm not seeing a lot of results yet,
[20:59] ---
    but maybe this is connected
    to the "other set of laws"
[21:02] ---
    that son of a bitch Aiwass was talking about.
[21:07] ---
    That's what I was thinking when
    we rode the train to the last stop.
[21:11] ---
    Freeze!
[21:12] ---
    Huh?
[21:14] ---
    Are you from Academy City?!
[21:15] ---
    What about all of you?
    Are you the ones who attacked the base?
[21:24] ---
    I don't have time for this.
    I'm going to take care of you quickly.
[21:28] ---
    You don't mind, do you?
[21:34] ---
    Now approaching the slated assault zone,
    Russian Airbase 740.
[21:38] ---
    Copy.
[21:40] ---
    What's your drop status?
[21:41] ---
    Ready to release.
[21:49] ---
    Yoo-hoo, I'm here to kill you, 1st-ranked.
[23:25] ---
    "Preview"
[23:26] ---
    The Third Season has been unleashed.
[23:28] ---
    An expression of 10,031 people's
    vengeance, condemnation, and hatred.
[23:32] ---
    Retribution arrives in the worst of forms.
[23:35] ---
    Next time, "Misaka Worst."
[23:36] ---
    When science and magic cross paths,
    the story begins.
[23:41] ---
    
[23:43] ---
