[00:09] ---
You might just pull it off somehow.
[00:14] ---
What the hell?
[00:19] ---
September 30...
[00:26] ---
Index, a friend of mine,
[00:29] ---
removed the virus that was inside her mind
[00:33] ---
by having her listen to a specific song.
[00:37] ---
The content of that song
is within my mind, as well.
[00:42] ---
Once you transcribe its parameters,
I'm sure she'll be okay.
[00:48] ---
If you want to treat her with the song,
[00:51] ---
I'm sure you know the
parameters outlined within her mind--
[01:06] ---
You alive?
[01:09] ---
Unfortunately.
[01:11] ---
Then you heard that, right?
[01:14] ---
The data from the song
used to purge the virus
[01:18] ---
is still there in Last Order's memory space.
[01:21] ---
If you can extract it,
it may be helpful in treating her.
[01:24] ---
Yeah.
[01:27] ---
And now, there's a tiny sliver
of a way out of this in sight.
[01:31] ---
You should be able to burrow
into the Sisters Network,
[01:35] ---
where her memories are backed up.
[01:38] ---
But even supposing I can find the song,
[01:41] ---
where are you planning to get
the additional parameters to modify it?
[01:50] ---
Academy City and the other
techniques that exist outside of it.
[01:55] ---
If I combine the two,
there's a chance it will lead to a solution.
[02:00] ---
"A Certain Magical Index III"
[02:07] ---
"#24 List of Prohibited Books (Index)"
[02:08] ---
Takitsubo!
[02:10] ---
Takitsubo! Where are you?!
[02:12] ---
Hamazura...
[02:16] ---
Hamazura...
[02:22] ---
Long time no see, Hamazura!
[02:32] ---
Mugino... Shizuri?
[02:53] ---
Ability crystals?
[02:54] ---
After everything that's happened,
you're still gonna make Takitsubo--
[03:04] ---
Takitsubo?
[03:09] ---
Why should I be concerned
about that small-timer's business?
[03:26] ---
Tell me, Hamazura...
[03:31] ---
if the 4th-ranked Level 5 were to
start running hopelessly out of control,
[03:36] ---
how much greater do you think
the damage she does would be?
[03:59] ---
I can't even get close to her.
[04:02] ---
Damn it. It's like she's a blast furnace,
or the sun, or something.
[04:16] ---
Hamazura, I've already given up this much.
[04:21] ---
I've paid a considerable price,
[04:24] ---
and now here I am, standing before you.
[04:26] ---
You can't possibly think that
you're getting out of this situation
[04:31] ---
without giving up something, too.
[04:40] ---
Hamazura...
[04:48] ---
Hama...
[04:50] ---
...zura!!
[05:33] ---
That's right.
[05:35] ---
Earlier, it was all Mugino
could do just to stay standing.
[05:39] ---
How... come...? How come...? Damn it...
[05:47] ---
Where the hell did the ability crystal go...?
[05:51] ---
I just needed another ten seconds...
[05:53] ---
and it would have all
been over, nice and tidy...
[06:02] ---
Don't look down on me, damn it!
[06:04] ---
No matter what it takes,
I'll kill you myself!
[06:07] ---
Ever since you shot me at that
plant--that's when it all went downhill!
[06:14] ---
How did I become such a hideous monster?
[06:33] ---
Mugino...
[06:37] ---
Mugino!!
[06:50] ---
What do you think you're doing...?
[06:55] ---
I've had enough. Why do we have
to be out for each other's blood like this?
[07:00] ---
You, Takitsubo, Kinuhata, and even Frenda--
[07:04] ---
we all got along so well, didn't we?
[07:07] ---
It's not just you blowing your top
and killing Frenda, either.
[07:11] ---
If the higher-ups in Academy City
really were in control of all that fighting,
[07:17] ---
then weren't we set up to kill each other
when we got backed into a corner?
[07:23] ---
If you want to see me miserable,
you can see that all you want.
[07:27] ---
If that's what will stop us from fighting,
I'll do whatever it takes!
[07:32] ---
So...
[07:34] ---
...let's stop this, already.
Let's stop trying to kill each other.
[07:48] ---
What are you talking about, Hamazura?
[07:53] ---
You chose Takitsubo, didn't you?
[07:57] ---
You've already shot me twice
to save her, haven't you?
[08:03] ---
And after all that, now
you want to let me live?
[08:08] ---
You're right. I did choose Takitsubo.
I swore on my life to protect her.
[08:15] ---
Nothing has changed about that.
I abandoned you to protect Takitsubo.
[08:21] ---
Self-centered bastard, aren't you?
I killed Frenda.
[08:26] ---
I tried to kill Takitsubo again and again.
How are you going to save me--
[08:32] ---
I don't think you're going to get off easy.
That goes for you and me both, though.
[08:37] ---
So you apologize to
Kinuhata for all you're worth,
[08:41] ---
show Takitsubo you're sorry,
[08:43] ---
and shed tears before Frenda's grave,
begging for forgiveness, and then...
[08:48] ---
...and then, we can be ITEM once again.
I know we can!
[08:56] ---
In the meantime, I'll safeguard your life.
[09:00] ---
I'd risk my life to get us all back in ITEM!
So get up, Mugino!
[09:07] ---
Rise up on your own one more time! Mugino!
[09:12] ---
You, a Level 0, are going
to keep me, a Level 5, safe?
[09:27] ---
Are you kidding me?
Don't disparage me like that.
[09:50] ---
I guess I was always meant to be expendable.
[09:53] ---
That "second plan" is falling into place.
[09:58] ---
What will you do, Hamazura?
[10:01] ---
I already told you. Risk my life.
[10:04] ---
Hmph, that's gutsy.
[10:17] ---
Is she suffering ill effects
from the remote magical item?
[10:19] ---
Because of the superfluous
intrusion into her mind,
[10:22] ---
her accuracy and speed are
coming up short. Which means...!
[10:27] ---
Chapter 32, verse 44--
[10:30] ---
counterattack measures are in place.
[10:33] ---
In my humble opinion,
there is a good possibility
[10:37] ---
that Fiamma and the Star of B'Tselem
are magically linked.
[10:40] ---
If I can attack this star indirectly...
[10:43] ---
Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun!
[10:46] ---
You're the lady from the
Russian church, right?
[10:49] ---
You seem to be up a creek,
so I'm here to explain the payment plan.
[10:58] ---
There are something like
emergency escape pods over there.
[11:01] ---
Since it looked to me like Fiamma
[11:04] ---
was going to cut loose
the Russian church sorcerers
[11:06] ---
as soon as he was done with them,
I thought I'd show them the way there.
[11:11] ---
Question one, if I may:
What payment plan do you mean?
[11:14] ---
It won't be money.
[11:16] ---
If you pledge to help Britain out
the next time they're in a tight spot,
[11:20] ---
I'll call that okay.
[11:22] ---
My first answer:
[11:25] ---
Get everyone who wishes to leave
the war's front lines away at once.
[11:29] ---
I have no intention of leaving here
until I get back at Fiamma--
[11:34] ---
Heh-heh-heh, very well!
[11:38] ---
So, what do you mean
by getting back at Fiamma?
[11:41] ---
My second answer:
I don't really have to respond to you.
[12:05] ---
The Star of B'Tselem is aloft.
[12:08] ---
I've completed manipulating
the celestial bodies via Gabriel.
[12:11] ---
The four elements have all
returned to their proper positions.
[12:15] ---
The arrangements have all been made.
[12:17] ---
I think it's about time
I claimed your right arm.
[12:20] ---
Then Project B'Tselem will be complete.
[12:25] ---
This is how badly you want
the Roman Orthodox Church to win?
[12:30] ---
I don't care about the Roman Orthodox Church.
[12:32] ---
My actions have all been essentially...
[12:36] ---
for my own benefit.
[12:39] ---
Can I cancel him out? No!
[12:43] ---
Ho, you've learned how to not just
zero out an attack, but to fend it off, too.
[12:54] ---
An Academy City optical weapon, huh?
[13:11] ---
I believe I've demonstrated it before.
My right arm optimizes its output
[13:15] ---
to match the level of trial
or difficulty I'm undergoing.
[13:19] ---
So optical weapons,
and anything else they have,
[13:22] ---
are no match for me.
[13:27] ---
This is crazy.
[13:29] ---
On the other hand, you should be proud.
[13:31] ---
It appears that my fist
is at something of a loss...
[13:36] ---
as to how hard to hit you.
[13:45] ---
Warning, chapter 22, verse 1--
[13:49] ---
designation "Eli Eli Lama
Sabachthani," now activating.
[13:59] ---
It does have its disadvantages
as a straightforward spell.
[14:12] ---
Warning, chapter 29, verse 33 now activating.
[14:25] ---
He's using Index's knowledge,
in addition to his Right Seat of God skills.
[14:32] ---
Warning, chapter 35, verse 18--
[14:35] ---
"Brimstone Rain Shall Burn the Earth,"
now activating.
[14:47] ---
That won't do. What a terrible
deviation from its theoretical value.
[14:52] ---
I'd feel bad using it on any adversary
who was dragged out into the open.
[14:59] ---
Adversary, you say?
[15:04] ---
This world is twisted.
[15:07] ---
Almost as though the world
itself has grown old and rickety.
[15:13] ---
Despite God supposedly
having arranged all the gears
[15:15] ---
so that everything turns correctly,
[15:20] ---
how did things become this bent out of shape?
The answer is simple.
[15:25] ---
It's because a number of the gears
have already reached their limits.
[15:32] ---
So I'm restoring them to the way they were.
[15:41] ---
Altering the mechanisms, exchanging the gears,
and eradicating the contamination as needed.
[15:47] ---
Re-applying the lubrication of the
church of the cross again afterward,
[15:50] ---
restoring its former graceful motion.
[15:53] ---
You're going to use magic to
alter people's minds as you see fit?
[16:01] ---
It's simpler than that.
I'm going to teach them a lesson.
[16:06] ---
Look, I just need to wield
my perfect arm once,
[16:11] ---
and humanity will know how
hopelessly outmatched they are.
[16:15] ---
Then they will know...
[16:16] ---
...that all they have to do is obey,
[16:18] ---
and they will witness the moment
when I save all of the world's people.
[16:24] ---
As soon as the Star of B'Tselem
lights up the night sky,
[16:28] ---
they will know that a
new age has already begun!
[16:35] ---
Save the people of the world, eh?
[16:40] ---
Have you ever actually gone out
and had a look at the world?
[16:44] ---
Have you seen just how
many of the people are smiling?
[16:49] ---
Indeed. That is a fascinating view.
[16:52] ---
But that's something I'll think about
after the world has been saved.
[17:14] ---
Got it.
[17:19] ---
Imagine Breaker may have
been a type of purification
[17:22] ---
naturally instilled within
the sacred right arm,
[17:25] ---
but by taking on my power,
one of its original components,
[17:28] ---
that unnecessary function's
role comes to an end.
[17:32] ---
My right arm will now be complete.
[17:35] ---
All I need to do now is wield the full power
that rightfully resides within me,
[17:40] ---
and the salvation of all
will be accomplished.
[17:42] ---
People may refer to me as Kamijo,
the "Person Superior to God,"
[17:46] ---
but none of that matters to me.
[17:48] ---
As long as I can muster all of my power
to save the world, I will succeed.
[18:14] ---
I...
[18:16] ---
...will save the world.
You should be honored, fleshwad!
[18:20] ---
You've safely managed to reap
some degree of worth in your life!
[18:31] ---
Wha--?
[18:39] ---
What the...?
[18:46] ---
I've assimilated your right arm.
[18:48] ---
So why do you still have any power?
[18:58] ---
There's something... something...
[19:01] ---
...invisible there...
[19:14] ---
You...
[19:16] ---
I don't know who you are supposed to be.
[19:19] ---
It's none of my concern what you
were trying to do, either. But...
[19:25] ---
...you keep out of this!
I'll take care of it!
[19:42] ---
You renounced it?
You deliberately gave up that much power,
[19:46] ---
and recovered your Imagine Breaker?
[19:50] ---
I'm finally starting to
understand some of this.
[19:52] ---
Understand what?
[19:55] ---
Why did you have to make
the Star of B'Tselem this gigantic?
[19:59] ---
If you really are some almighty being,
Fiamma of the Right,
[20:02] ---
you wouldn't have had
to scrounge up different parts
[20:05] ---
from churches and cathedrals and
whatnot around the world, would you?
[20:09] ---
Why did you cause World War III to happen?
[20:13] ---
Your power changes to match
the difficulty level of your opponent.
[20:16] ---
Meaning that the stronger they are,
the more power you can force out.
[20:21] ---
But what reason did you have
to force that much power out?
[20:28] ---
Why did you want power so badly
that you teamed up with other sects?
[20:31] ---
If you really were that invincible,
[20:33] ---
was there ever any need for you
to have anyone working for you?
[20:37] ---
In other words,
[20:38] ---
you were afraid, weren't you?
[20:41] ---
Because you don't know if you
really have enough power in you
[20:45] ---
to save the world.
[20:52] ---
The world has never come to an end.
[20:54] ---
At least, I haven't heard of the
world falling apart in modern times.
[21:01] ---
And so,
[21:02] ---
you've never been
privileged with the opportunity
[21:04] ---
to exhibit enough power to save the world.
[21:06] ---
Just like it wouldn't appear that
my Imagine Breaker had any power,
[21:10] ---
unless I'd been surrounded
by espers and sorcerers...
[21:14] ---
Yeah...
[21:16] ---
There's no way someone
who has never saved the world
[21:19] ---
has any way of knowing whether or not
they have enough power to save it.
[21:23] ---
That's why you had to take things this far.
[21:35] ---
So what if I did?
[21:37] ---
Do you have any right to condemn me?
[21:40] ---
Have you ever experienced the kind
of power it takes to save the world?!
[21:44] ---
Of course I have. Maybe it was
something tiny and unimportant.
[21:52] ---
But I have saved others.
[21:54] ---
And unimportant or not,
[21:56] ---
I have witnessed the moment when
a single individual's "world" was saved.
[22:01] ---
Someone who thinks they're going
to save the world can't preserve it.
[22:10] ---
Our world isn't so fragile that it has
to be saved by any such bastard!
[22:26] ---
Well, I guess that's that.
[22:29] ---
Lucky for me, tanks are
a lot faster than I expected.
[22:34] ---
"Seeing you singlehandedly
run roughshod over them,
[22:36] ---
even Misaka can't help but feel inferior,"
[22:40] ---
says Misaka, somewhat dejectedly.
[22:42] ---
What are you talking about?
All of you put together could--
[22:45] ---
"That is, at the end of the day,
our collective strength,
[22:48] ---
so this much individuality
is something Misaka would want.
[22:51] ---
You could not understand how that feels,"
[22:54] ---
says Misaka, mumbling under her breath.
[22:56] ---
So anyway, you have knowledge of
how to operate weapons installed, right?
[23:01] ---
If needed, it is possible to access
extra information from the Misaka Network.
[23:06] ---
I'm not sure if they were using this
for aerial combat or transportation or what,
[23:10] ---
but there's a VTOL fighter over there, right?
[23:14] ---
If we use that...
[23:20] ---
...we could fly up to that fortress
in the sky, can't we?
[23:25] ---
"Preview"
[23:25] ---
People don't just have malice;
they have benevolence, too.
[23:28] ---
They fight, pray, and stand up
for those they wish to protect.
[23:32] ---
They don't need any other reason.
[23:34] ---
Next time, "Wings"
[23:36] ---
When science and magic cross paths,
the story begins.
[23:41] ---
[23:43] ---
