**[00:30] ---**
September 1st marked the\nend of a turbulent summer vacation.\n
**[00:34] ---**
The new transfer student\nwho showed up was Index...\n
**[00:36] ---**
No it wasn't, it was Himegami.\n
**[00:39] ---**
Index, along with a girl named who\nwas with her, named Kazakiri Hyoka,\n
**[00:42] ---**
joined me in a little amusement\nat the underground mall.\n
**[00:45] ---**
Of course,\n
**[00:46] ---**
we had no way of knowing that\nsomething like this would happen.\n

*Some day-to-day is a parallel world *
**[01:10] ---**
*A masterpiece of thousands of timelines, *
**[01:13] ---**
*no two of which are the same, *
**[01:14] ---**
*interwoven into a new time and space *
**[01:18] ---**
*The tip of a pen scribbling out a script on blank paper freezes *

**[01:44] ---**
*The sensation of living your life ablaze for something *

"#22 Golem (Stone Figure)"\nThank you very much.\n
**[02:23] ---**
Ah, that was delicious.\nMy tummy is all full-full-full up!\n
**[02:31] ---**
Oh? What's this? Looks like\nthere are all sorts of TVs here.\n
**[02:39] ---**
I've never seen a TV like this before.\n
**[02:42] ---**
Um, that's not a TV...\n
**[02:49] ---**
Huh? A phone call?\n
**[02:52] ---**
Go ahead on inside.\n
**[02:53] ---**
Mm-hmm! Let's go, let's go, Hyoka!\n
**[02:57] ---**
Yes?\n
**[02:59] ---**
It's... gami... areful... Ka... ri...\n
**[03:10] ---**
Well, it *is* the underground mall.
**[03:15] ---**
These are so cute.\n
**[03:19] ---**
So cute, so cute, so cute!\n
**[03:22] ---**
Say, aren't these cute, Hyoka?\n
**[03:25] ---**
M-Mm-hmm.\n
**[03:27] ---**
Hmm? Oh, what's that?!\n
**[03:32] ---**
It's great that there are so many\nkinds of clothes to choose from.\n
**[03:36] ---**
Mm-hmm. That maid outfit was cute, too.\n
**[03:38] ---**
"Cosplay Print Club"\nMm-hmm. That maid outfit was cute, too.\n
**[03:40] ---**
"Cosplay Print Club"\n
**[03:48] ---**
Look, over there.\n
**[03:50] ---**
"Cosplay Costumes" "Free Rentals"\nI think they're running a clothes-lending service,\n
**[03:52] ---**
"Transform yourself now, for free!"\nfor people to take photo-seal pictures.\n
**[03:55] ---**
Oh, that sounds like fun!\n
**[03:58] ---**
--Come on, let's do it!\n--B-But I...!\n
**[04:03] ---**
Index, where are you?\n
**[04:05] ---**
Wow, amazing!\n
**[04:08] ---**
They have a Magical\nPowered Kanamin dress suit!\n
**[04:11] ---**
Um, are you going to wear that?\n
**[04:13] ---**
I am! I am!\n
**[04:15] ---**
In here, huh?\n
**[04:17] ---**
Hey, Index...\n
**[04:18] ---**
Yikes! T-T-Toma!\n
**[04:21] ---**
Um, please don't open the curtain right now.\n
**[04:24] ---**
Hmm, Kamijo will not\nmake the same mistake twice.\n
**[04:29] ---**
Ah, easy, don't push!\n
**[04:47] ---**
Here, Hyoka. Half for you.\n
**[04:54] ---**
So this is the life of a student,\nhuh? Terrific, terrific!\n
**[04:57] ---**
Actually, there are boring classes\nand hellish tests that go with it.\n
**[05:03] ---**
Huh?\n
**[05:04] ---**
Did you hear that?\n
**[05:06] ---**
Mm-hmm.\n
**[05:07] ---**
What's the matter, you two?\n
**[05:09] ---**
There was a voice from somewhere just now.\n
**[05:11] ---**
A voice? \n
**[05:12] ---**
It felt like there was a voice\nspeaking directly inside our heads.\n
**[05:16] ---**
Inside your heads? Well, that's just--\n
**[05:18] ---**
You, there!\n
**[05:20] ---**
After all the warning you've been given,\n
**[05:22] ---**
how can you still be taking it so easy?\n
**[05:24] ---**
Judgment?\n
**[05:26] ---**
So, what now?\n
**[05:28] ---**
Now, look! That telepathy! Telepathy!\n
**[05:32] ---**
You heard it, didn't you?! Listen!\n
**[05:41] ---**
There, you understand the situation now, right?\n
**[05:44] ---**
No, not one bit.\n
**[05:47] ---**
That's strange. I wonder\nwhy it's not getting through to you.\n
**[05:52] ---**
I'll explain it out loud.\n
**[05:55] ---**
A terrorist has slipped\ninto the underground mall here.\n
**[05:59] ---**
A terrorist?\n
**[06:00] ---**
Mm-hmm. We're about\nto lower the confinement walls\n
**[06:03] ---**
and seal off the underground mall.\nPlease evacuate immediately.\n
**[06:07] ---**
Understood?\n
**[06:10] ---**
This doesn't sound good.\nWe should get out of here.\n
**[06:26] ---**
Found you.\n
**[06:30] ---**
What's that?\n
**[06:34] ---**
An idol of man, from out of the earth.\n
**[06:36] ---**
A golem, protector of the temple,\n
**[06:38] ---**
has been forcibly made to\nserve as an English guardian angel.\n
**[06:41] ---**
Are you saying the terrorist is a sorcerer?!\n
**[06:47] ---**
Now, let's get the party started.\n
**[06:49] ---**
Howl as much as you like,\ndown in this earthy, mud-stained grave.\n
**[06:59] ---**
What?\n
**[07:03] ---**
Hey, let us out of here!\n
**[07:05] ---**
Hold on, what is this?\n
**[07:06] ---**
Open up!\n
**[07:09] ---**
Index, take Kazakiri and go hide somewhere.\n
**[07:13] ---**
Toma, *you* go hide with Hyoka.
**[07:15] ---**
If the enemy is a sorcerer, then this is my job.\n
**[07:19] ---**
How are you going to\nfight with your spindly arms?\n
**[07:22] ---**
Toma, do you think you've been\nthis lucky up to now on your own?\n
**[07:26] ---**
You're an amateur when it comes to magic.\n
**[07:29] ---**
Ha! Why, whatever do you mean?\n
**[07:32] ---**
There's no way that Kamijo,\nthe mass of misfortune, has been "lucky."\n
**[07:39] ---**
It pains me to say it myself.\n
**[07:41] ---**
U-Um, I'm not sure what's going on here,\n
**[07:45] ---**
but is there anything I can do to help?\n
**[07:48] ---**
--No!\n--No!\n
**[07:56] ---**
--Hide, Index!\n--Toma, run!\n
**[08:01] ---**
Huh? Did you just hear a cat meow?\n
**[08:04] ---**
Yeah.\n
**[08:08] ---**
Ow-w-w...\n
**[08:10] ---**
Hey...\n
**[08:13] ---**
What are you doing down here?\n
**[08:17] ---**
Oh, my. How forward, now, of all times.\n
**[08:21] ---**
What is this, Toma?\nWho on earth are these uncouth girls?\n
**[08:25] ---**
Friends of yours?\n
**[08:27] ---**
Hey, you, where do you get off \n
**[08:30] ---**
calling someone you've\nnever met before "uncouth"?\n
**[08:33] ---**
Then you *do* know Toma, after all!
**[08:36] ---**
Exactly what is your relationship with Toma?\n
**[08:38] ---**
R-Relationship...?\n
**[08:41] ---**
Tell me, who are *you* to him?!
**[08:43] ---**
Hmm? Uh, I owe my life to him, and stuff.\n
**[08:48] ---**
Huh? Did he come to your rescue,\nwithout you asking, too?\n
**[08:58] ---**
--Toma!\n--Hey, you!\n
**[08:59] ---**
Yes?!\n
**[09:00] ---**
--Would you care to explain this?\n--Why don't you explain this?\n
**[09:03] ---**
W-Well...\n
**[09:06] ---**
So that's it. I thought it\nsounded awfully suspicious,\n
**[09:10] ---**
but I see that Sissy has left me out,\n
**[09:13] ---**
and exposed herself,\nbody and soul, to Mr. Kamijo here.\n
**[09:19] ---**
I haven't exposed anything!\n
**[09:21] ---**
So, what kind of trouble\nare you caught up in this time?\n
**[09:26] ---**
How should I know?\n
**[09:28] ---**
Shirai, what exactly is the situation?\n
**[09:31] ---**
There is a terrorist operating\ndown here in the underground mall.\n
**[09:35] ---**
There is a possibility of a\nlarge-scale battle breaking out,\n
**[09:38] ---**
so I have to get everyone\ntrapped down here evacuated.\n
**[09:43] ---**
I *am* a master of teleportation, and all.
**[09:46] ---**
You get these people out of here.\nMeanwhile, I'll buy you some time--\n
**[09:50] ---**
--You're getting out of here first!\n--Toma, you're getting out first!\n
**[09:54] ---**
Yeah, but...\n
**[09:57] ---**
My right hand renders all powers ineffective.\n
**[10:00] ---**
That's why I have no choice but to stay.\n
**[10:02] ---**
My power has its limitations, as well.\n
**[10:05] ---**
At most, I can carry two people at a time.\n
**[10:09] ---**
Okay then, please take Index and Kazakiri first.\n
**[10:12] ---**
Toma, you mean you want to\nstay with the short-haired girl, right?\n
**[10:17] ---**
Okay then, take Misaka and Kazakiri.\n
**[10:22] ---**
Oh, so you want to stay\nbehind with short-stuff, here.\n
**[10:30] ---**
Rotten luck.\n
**[10:34] ---**
Okay then, you two.\n
**[10:37] ---**
Now, hold on!\n
**[10:42] ---**
Sorry about getting you left behind.\n
**[10:46] ---**
Mm-mm, I'm fine.\nNever mind me, what about you?\n
**[10:53] ---**
It's starting.\n
**[10:54] ---**
I hate to do this, Kazakiri,\nbut wait here for Shirai to get back.\n
**[10:58] ---**
Huh? B-But what about you?\n
**[11:01] ---**
I'm gonna go stop the sorcerer!\n
**[11:28] ---**
This isn't working at all.\n
**[11:30] ---**
The students' evacuation isn't complete yet.\n
**[11:34] ---**
Your strength is considerable,\nbut you have no style, huh?\n
**[11:37] ---**
Ellis!\n
**[11:55] ---**
Are you all right?!\n
**[11:58] ---**
Young man, what are you doing here?\n
**[12:01] ---**
Um, I'm...\n
**[12:04] ---**
You're that miscreant from\nMiss Tsukuyomi's class.\n
**[12:22] ---**
Where do you think you're going, young man?!\n
**[12:32] ---**
Good day to you.\nOh, you’re the Imagine Breaker?\n
**[12:37] ---**
Then you're not with the key to\nthe Imaginary Number School District.\n
**[12:40] ---**
What was that brat's name again?\n
**[12:43] ---**
Well, it's not as though that\nbrat has to be the one that I kill.\n
**[12:47] ---**
I have no problem with killing you, either!\n
**[12:57] ---**
The earth is my power.\n
**[12:59] ---**
No one can stand upon\nthe earth when faced with Ellis.\n
**[13:03] ---**
Why, you...!\n
**[13:05] ---**
No, not "you." It's Sherry Cromwell.\n
**[13:09] ---**
Although, since you're going to die here,\n
**[13:11] ---**
there's no need to name\nthe English Puritan Church, too.\n
**[13:14] ---**
English Puritan Church?\n
**[13:16] ---**
Why would someone in the\nsame organization as Index do this?\n
**[13:19] ---**
To start a war. I want this to be a flashpoint.\n
**[13:23] ---**
That's why I want many people to know\n
**[13:25] ---**
that I'm one of the\nEnglish Puritan Church's pawns!\n
**[13:34] ---**
Damn. If I can just touch\nthat thing, even for a moment...\n
**[13:38] ---**
U-Um...\n
**[13:43] ---**
Kazakiri!\n
**[13:44] ---**
You idiot! Why didn't you wait for Shirai?!\n
**[13:48] ---**
W-Well... I mean...\n
**[13:51] ---**
Never mind, just get down, quick!\n
**[14:07] ---**
Kazakiri!\n
**[14:14] ---**
What is this?\n
**[14:29] ---**
Huh? My glasses...\n
**[14:34] ---**
What... is this...?\n
**[14:41] ---**
It can't be...! W-What is this...?\n
**[14:47] ---**
Kazakiri...\n
**[14:49] ---**
No!\n
**[14:52] ---**
Kazakiri!\n
**[14:52] ---**
Hey, not that way!\n
**[14:55] ---**
Ellis!\n
**[15:00] ---**
Kazakiri!\n
**[15:25] ---**
Come along, Ellis. Let's hunt\ndown that bumbling clown of a fox.\n
**[15:41] ---**
Geez, I wonder where they went.\n
**[15:44] ---**
What do I do about them?\n
**[15:49] ---**
Open up!\n
**[15:51] ---**
I'm concerned about those two, \n
**[15:54] ---**
but I can't leave these people behind, either.\n
**[16:04] ---**
Kazakiri...\n
**[16:05] ---**
Damn. What is going on here?\n
**[16:12] ---**
Hello?\n
**[16:14] ---**
Ah, is that you, Kamijo?\n
**[16:16] ---**
I've finally gotten through! \n
**[16:18] ---**
Himegami has been trying to reach you,\n
**[16:21] ---**
and called again and again.\n
**[16:25] ---**
Himegami was calling me?\n
**[16:27] ---**
I have something important to tell you, too.\n
**[16:30] ---**
Sorry, but this isn't the best time, so...\n
**[16:33] ---**
It wouldn't have to do\nwith Kazakiri Hyoka, would it?\n
**[16:37] ---**
Please listen closely. For some\nreason which we don't understand,\n
**[16:41] ---**
Kazakiri Hyoka does not show up at all\n
**[16:43] ---**
on the security cameras around the school.\n
**[16:47] ---**
From where exactly did the girl\nwho was beside you enter the school?\n
**[16:54] ---**
J-Just a moment, please! What are you telling me?\n
**[16:58] ---**
We believe that Kazakiri Hyoka\n
**[17:00] ---**
and AIM diffusion fields are deeply involved.\n
**[17:05] ---**
What do they have to do with Kazakiri?\n
**[17:08] ---**
This is all just supposition,\nbut it's the emission of bioelectricity\n
**[17:11] ---**
and the magnetic fields that form with them;\n
**[17:14] ---**
oxygen consumption and\ncarbon dioxide expulsion, yadda yadda.\n
**[17:18] ---**
If all of the data that makes\nup the human form comes together,\n
**[17:22] ---**
doesn't that mean that\nthere would be a "person" there?\n
**[17:27] ---**
There are all kinds of epsers in Academy City,\n
**[17:30] ---**
always emitting a slight force\nwithout even being aware of it.\n
**[17:34] ---**
What if, with so many of them overlapping,\n
**[17:36] ---**
they start to have a single meaning?\n
**[17:38] ---**
And what if they create\nwhat we know as Kazakiri Hyoka?\n
**[17:43] ---**
I don't care what you say, that's...\n
**[17:45] ---**
Apparently, there have been sightings\n
**[17:47] ---**
of Kazakiri Hyoka going way back.\n
**[17:49] ---**
I believe that at the time,\n
**[17:51] ---**
she was a more indistinct being, like a ghost.\n
**[17:59] ---**
But it doesn't appear that\nKazakiri herself is aware of it.\n
**[18:04] ---**
Assuming that she believed\nthat she's been human all this time,\n
**[18:08] ---**
she wouldn't have had\nany doubts to the contrary.\n
**[18:12] ---**
The bottom line is,\nKazakiri Hyoka is not human.\n
**[18:17] ---**
Which would mean that\nshe's a physical manifestation,\n
**[18:20] ---**
produced by AIM diffusion fields.\n
**[18:24] ---**
What is this? How awful for her.\n
**[18:28] ---**
Awful, you say?\n
**[18:30] ---**
Listen to me, Kamijo. \n
**[18:32] ---**
Even if she has all of the\ncomponents she needs to be a person,\n
**[18:36] ---**
it still does not make\nKazakiri Hyoka a real human.\n
**[18:40] ---**
But then, for what reason\n
**[18:42] ---**
does she have to be a person in the first place?\n
**[18:45] ---**
Kamijo, in your eyes, what do you think of her?\n
**[18:50] ---**
Is Kazakiri Hyoka anything more than an illusion,\n
**[18:53] ---**
without life or soul, just standing there?\n
**[18:57] ---**
Is her presence so insubstantial\nthat she can be easily lost?\n
**[19:01] ---**
No! Of course she isn't. \n
**[19:04] ---**
But even if she were nothing more\n
**[19:06] ---**
than a phantom that vanishes with a touch,\n
**[19:08] ---**
I wouldn't stand for that being a reason why she *should* vanish.
**[19:14] ---**
That's good! I love it when one\nof my little lambs grows up right!\n
**[19:22] ---**
Please be sure to keep it up,\nand not bring your dear friends to tears.\n
**[19:26] ---**
Okay then, goodbye.\n
**[20:10] ---**
What have we here?\n
**[20:12] ---**
You're said to be the key to the\nImaginary Number School District,\n
**[20:15] ---**
but take a look at you.\n
**[20:17] ---**
This is who you are?\n
**[20:20] ---**
Science-types must be out of their minds\n
**[20:22] ---**
to so carefully hold on to someone like you.\n
**[20:25] ---**
Why? How could you do something so awful?\n
**[20:28] ---**
Eh? What's this? By any chance, \n
**[20:32] ---**
are you one of those people\nwho say they are afraid to die?\n
**[20:35] ---**
Hey, come on, figure it out, already.\n
**[20:39] ---**
There's no way you can be a legitimate human.\n
**[20:44] ---**
Why does your face look so pale?\n
**[20:46] ---**
Here...\n
**[20:54] ---**
This is the extent of\nwhat I'm doing to you, right?\n
**[21:11] ---**
Now do you understand?\n
**[21:12] ---**
You are like Ellis-- a monster.\n
**[21:15] ---**
There is no place for you here,\nor anywhere else.\n
**[21:23] ---**
I don't really know, but Hyoka is my friend.\n
**[21:26] ---**
I know! Hyoka, care to join us?\n
**[21:30] ---**
Here, Hyoka. Half for you.\n
**[21:35] ---**
Don't cry, monster.\n
**[21:38] ---**
Your crying merely disgusts me!\n
**[22:13] ---**
Looks like I've kept you waiting.\n
**[22:15] ---**
It's all right now.\n
**[22:35] ---**
*In the casual present *
**[22:39] ---**
*and even the unseen morrow, *
**[22:44] ---**
*my unwavering feelings, at least *
**[22:48] ---**
*remain hidden within my heart *
**[22:52] ---**
*I press through the voices, *
**[22:57] ---**
*laughing it off as a coincidence, *
**[23:00] ---**
*to make it all the way across *
**[23:05] ---**
*I believe in myself *
**[23:10] ---**
*What comes back to my mind is that *
**[23:13] ---**
*for the wishes I wanted to come true, I always said *
**[23:17] ---**
*"one more time, just one more time," *
**[23:22] ---**
*and kept on pushing *
**[23:25] ---**
*(just a little bit) *
**[23:27] ---**
*Sure, the feelings that I've lost *
**[23:30] ---**
*may change form, but still, *
**[23:34] ---**
*until the day comes when I get them back, *
**[23:39] ---**
*I am sure I'll keep looking for them *
**[23:42] ---**
*(Just a little bit, one more time) *
**[23:54] ---**
"Preview"\n
**[23:55] ---**
"Preview"\nListen to me, Kazakiri.\n
**[23:56] ---**
"Preview"\nThe touch of your kindness was no illusion.\n
**[23:58] ---**
\nThe touch of your kindness was no illusion.\n
**[23:59] ---**
Even if you're not human,\nwe will be sure to save you!\n
**[24:04] ---**
Next time, "Friends."\n
**[24:06] ---**
When science and magic cross\npaths, the story begins.\n
