[00:50] ---
    Ah, damn it, already!
[00:54] ---
    Prerequisites for the
    ESP Card experiment?
[00:57] ---
    Don't go thinking that Level 0
    Kamijo knows something like that.
[01:08] ---
    Imagine Breaker--the marvelous
    power that resides in my right hand.
[01:13] ---
    Apparently, it is able to cancel
    out any other extraordinary power
[01:16] ---
    with a single touch.
[01:19] ---
    But a fantastic power like this
[01:21] ---
    doesn't have any effect on my
    summer vacation homework problems.
[01:26] ---
    What's more, on this day, of all days,
[01:29] ---
    Misaka Mikoto pressured me
    into pretending to be her boyfriend,
[01:32] ---
    not to mention, I was chased
    around by an Aztecan magician,
[01:35] ---
    as one crazy incident
    after another piled up on me.
[01:39] ---
    The practical upshot of all of this being...
[01:42] ---
    ...that I haven't finished
    most of my homework.
[01:48] ---
    I get it. Magical Powered
    Kanamin takes the Parts of Ether
[01:51] ---
    the lotus staff for the Elementals,
[01:54] ---
    and reproduces them in plastic, right?
[01:57] ---
    --How wonderfully Japanese-styled that is!
[01:58] ---
    --Listen, Miss Index...
    --How wonderfully Japanese-styled that is!
[02:00] ---
    I'm not going to tell you not to watch TV,
[02:04] ---
    but as for the volume, at least...
[02:05] ---
    Toma, you never do anything fun with me.
[02:09] ---
    That's why I'm escaping
    into the world of television!
[02:19] ---
    Ow...
[02:20] ---
    Ah, man! Why is it that now,
    when I have no time,
[02:23] ---
    you come up with more things
    for me to do?! Huh? Hold on...
[02:26] ---
    Where's that worksheet that
    I was only half-way done with?
[02:28] ---
    Or Classical Japanese problem set?
    Or my math reference book?
[02:32] ---
    Ah, Toma!
[02:33] ---
    Oh, did you find something?
[02:35] ---
    It's after 3 o'clock.
[02:37] ---
    Huh?
[02:41] ---
    I'd sure like a snack.
[02:45] ---
    Just my luck.
[02:51] ---
    Index Librorum Prohibitorum...
[02:56] ---
    The List of Prohibited Books, huh?
[03:16] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[03:20] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[03:25] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[03:29] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[03:35] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[03:40] ---
    But the angel continued to smile in discernment
[03:51] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand

[03:56] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe

[04:01] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[04:07] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)

[04:14] ---
    No buts!
[04:32] ---
    Wow, it sure was a lot of trouble,
[04:34] ---
    locating this worksheet
    among the pile of manga it was in.
[04:38] ---
    Tell me, Toma, am I great, or am I great?
[04:42] ---
    Don't you have anything
    to say to me? Well? Well?
[04:46] ---
    So, what is it you're
    trying to say to me?
[04:49] ---
    I did a lot of work for you,
    so I want a reward deserving of it.
[04:53] ---
    Meaning that I want to eat something.
[04:54] ---
    You just finished my half
    of the pudding, too, didn't you?!
[04:57] ---
    Oh, maybe that would be good.
[04:59] ---
    "Hirayama Rami's 5-hour Cooking!"
    "How to Make Tofu Hamburger"
[04:59] ---
    Today we'll cover "How to Make 5-hour Tofu Hamburger."
[05:02] ---
    I told you, I don't have time
    to make something like that!
[05:05] ---
    It's just after 5:00 pm now,
[05:07] ---
    leaving about seven
    hours before the date changes,
[05:09] ---
    so even if I'm ready
    to work through the night,
[05:11] ---
    there's less than fifteen more
    hours before I have to go to school!
[05:13] ---
    --And in just that much time...
    --Toma...
[05:16] ---
    It's not good to push yourself so hard.
[05:19] ---
    Your brain has to work even
    harder when you're so on-edge.
[05:23] ---
    Don't overexert yourself.
[05:24] ---
    You're the last person
    I want to hear that from!
[05:31] ---
    This is it.
[05:39] ---
    Wind Magic Bowstring!
[05:53] ---
    Striking Bowstring!
[06:08] ---
    Not here?
[06:10] ---
    I just had a nasty feeling...
[06:13] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[06:14] ---
    Can I order anything from here?
[06:17] ---
    What? What do you want?
[06:19] ---
    Okay, then...
    The most expensive thing!
[06:23] ---
    All right, ¥2000 worth of raw eggs...
[06:26] ---
    Toma!
[06:28] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma, together with Index,
[06:30] ---
    decided to go to a family
    restaurant for a change of pace.
[06:33] ---
    I was busy plugging away
[06:35] ---
    at what was left of my
    summer vacation homework.
[06:43] ---
    Thank you for waiting--
[06:54] ---
    There you are.
[06:57] ---
    And now, to battle.
[07:01] ---
    My survey report on
    the development of abilities...
[07:04] ---
    Excuse me! I will bring something
    to wipe this up with right away!
[07:07] ---
    --Th-Then again, Toma,
    you can still make out the letters,
[07:08] ---
    --Three pages.
    --Th-Then again, Toma, you can still make out the letters,
[07:10] ---
    --I'd already written three pages.
    --so if you copy it down exactly to a new manuscript sheet,
[07:13] ---
    you can still use it.
[07:15] ---
    When you consider that you don't
    have to think everything up again,
[07:18] ---
    just think of all the trouble you'll save!
[07:27] ---
    The starting shot to war is raised!
[07:29] ---
    Sunder Magic Bowstring!
[07:43] ---
    Why, you...!
[07:44] ---
    What the hell are you--
[07:47] ---
    Over here.
[07:49] ---
    I did not anticipate this outcome.
[07:52] ---
    It would please me if we
    can limit any wanton loss of life.
[07:55] ---
    If you will surrender yourself,
    I will take no action against you.
[07:58] ---
    So long as I obtain my objective...
[08:03] ---
    M-My...
[08:04] ---
    My homework has turned into confetti...
[08:07] ---
    Hey! You there! You did this,
    so you have to make it right!
[08:12] ---
    You have to do my homework again!
[08:14] ---
    None of my concern.
[08:20] ---
    Okay, Kamijo is feeling
    just a little bit violent today.
[08:25] ---
    Wait, huh?
[08:28] ---
    I will be brief.
[08:30] ---
    I am not interested in childish games.
[08:33] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
    What are you going to do to Index?!
[08:36] ---
    I'm sure you know,
[08:38] ---
    if you are aware that this
    is the List of Prohibited Books
[08:41] ---
    who has memorized the 103,000 volumes...
[08:44] ---
    Are you a magician?
[08:46] ---
    Indeed I am.
[08:48] ---
    Transparent Magic Bowstring!
[08:50] ---
    Hold it, you bastard!
[08:54] ---
    There's something small and soft right here!
[08:56] ---
    Is that you there, Index?
[09:02] ---
    W-What...?
[09:08] ---
    Damn, he got me!
[09:10] ---
    Excuse me, sir...
[09:18] ---
    I didn't make her carry a cell phone
    with her for times like this, but...
[09:21] ---
    No reason why she would answer. Damn!
[09:24] ---
    Just where am I supposed to look for her?
[09:28] ---
    Hey!
[09:30] ---
    Hey! Where are you going, Sphinx?!
[09:32] ---
    Wait up!
[09:36] ---
    A hotel?
[09:37] ---
    Don't tell me Index is in there!
[09:40] ---
    Is that where she is, Sphinx?!
[09:47] ---
    In there?!
[09:49] ---
    Index!
[09:52] ---
    Hey, you! Don't you have any
    sense of obligation to your master?!
[09:56] ---
    Index is the one who took you in,
    you know, if only temporarily!
[10:00] ---
    Come on, let's go
    look for her, right away!
[10:29] ---
    I'm surprised.
[10:31] ---
    In just this short time,
    you've already untied two knots.
[10:35] ---
    Japan may have given rise to its
    own unique culture of rope tortures,
[10:38] ---
    but I will not talk
    under such rough measures.
[10:42] ---
    I told you, torturing
    you is not my objective.
[10:47] ---
    I wish to obtain one of
    the grimoires that is inside you.
[10:56] ---
    Now...
[10:58] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[10:58] ---
    I must first raise a magical field for amplification purposes...
[11:06] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:10] ---
    What is that magician
    planning to do to Index?
[11:14] ---
    Damn it! Where am
    I supposed to look?!
[11:18] ---
    Whoa-oa-oa...
[11:20] ---
    S-Sorry!
[11:31] ---
    Hey, you! What are you doing here?!
[11:35] ---
    Geez, it seems like you're
    always running around somewhere.
[11:39] ---
    If everything's all right,
    then call me and say it's all right!
[11:43] ---
    Oh, come to think of it,
    you don't know my number, do you?
[11:48] ---
    H-Huh? Eh?!
[11:58] ---
    For Pete's sake!
[11:59] ---
    You're always doing this!
    Stop messing around with me! Huh?
[12:04] ---
    How come you look like
    you're about to cry, for real?
[12:07] ---
    I'm in a hurry here, as much as I can be!
[12:09] ---
    What with the homework,
    the kidnapping
[12:10] ---
    and the commotion
    at the family restaurant...!
[12:11] ---
    So tell me, what do you want?!
[12:14] ---
    Eh? W-What do...
[12:15] ---
    Oh, well... I was simply upset
    that you didn't spend time with me,
[12:21] ---
    but I don't have anything
    that I want from you, especially...
[12:25] ---
    Not that there would be...
[12:28] ---
    Sorry!
[12:30] ---
    Hey, hold on! Are you seriously
    going to leave me here?!
[12:34] ---
    Hey, I said!
[12:39] ---
    Is this a Kagura stage?
[12:41] ---
    Nothing so elaborate as that.
    At the end of the day,
[12:44] ---
    it's closer to a Bon
    festival dance grounds.
[12:48] ---
    And you prepared this to
    have me possessed by something?
[12:53] ---
    Oh, the real reason
    I raised the magical field
[12:56] ---
    was to try to increase the
    force of this thing.
[13:00] ---
    Your Azusa Yumi bow? A ceremonial
    item used in Japanese Shinto?
[13:04] ---
    Magnificent. So your
    magical library also covers
[13:09] ---
    my cultural background, does it?
[13:11] ---
    --This thing's normal power is, at most,
    --Index? Index!
[13:13] ---
    --only enough to shock the mind,
    or to rectify any imbalances.
[13:13] ---
    --Hey, you hear me? Where are you?!
[13:18] ---
    However, with all the
    right conditions in place,
[13:21] ---
    it can read the details
    within another's mind.
[13:25] ---
    Yes, even reveal the 103,000 volumes
[13:29] ---
    that you are hiding so
    desperately within your heart.
[13:33] ---
    N-No!
[13:34] ---
    Even you must know what would
    happen if anyone other than me
[13:37] ---
    were to touch the grimoires!
[13:40] ---
    Of course.
[13:41] ---
    I am well aware.
[13:46] ---
    What was that?
[13:57] ---
    That's the hotel from earlier, isn't it?!
[14:00] ---
    Damn!
[14:42] ---
    That's the Baopiaozi--
[14:44] ---
    the grimoire dealing with immortal youth
[14:46] ---
    and becoming a sage in Chinese culture.
[14:48] ---
    It contains alchemy to create an elixir
[14:50] ---
    that can cure any
    manner of disease or curse.
[14:58] ---
    I thought I could do anything
    once I became a magician.
[15:02] ---
    It is because I didn't
    want any more setbacks
[15:06] ---
    that I took the oath
    to become a magician.
[15:10] ---
    At the very least, it was not for this.
[15:17] ---
    There was a woman who
    was dying from some kind of curse.
[15:22] ---
    A powerless, nobody of a person,
    who could do nothing but smile
[15:27] ---
    while she watched
    death close in around her.
[15:32] ---
    If I couldn't even
    help this nobody of a person,
[15:35] ---
    then there was no "can do
    anything" or "not want any setbacks."
[15:42] ---
    So for this nobody of a woman,
    how could I bring any harm to the dream
[15:46] ---
    that I had been so
    carefully fostering up until now?
[15:58] ---
    Surely it was not for
    that nobody of a woman.
[16:01] ---
    By no means was it because
    of that nobody of a woman!
[16:05] ---
    You're wrong.
[16:07] ---
    I can tell. Your Azusa Yumi bow's
    power has been amplified too much,
[16:12] ---
    and your mind is
    slipping back within me.
[16:15] ---
    That's why I know.
[16:17] ---
    You were simply
    in love with that woman.
[16:21] ---
    That's precisely why you
    risked your life to save her.
[16:25] ---
    You hurt others and had to commit
    that sin in order to save her.
[16:30] ---
    That's why you didn't want
    to put the blame on that woman.
[16:34] ---
    That's why you
    must not meet this fate!
[16:37] ---
    Relying on some
    grimy grimoire is not the way!
[16:46] ---
    Toma!
[16:57] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[16:59] ---
    Geez, you really had me worried.
[17:01] ---
    Toma, I'm hungry!
[17:03] ---
    I'll feed you until you're full later on.
[17:05] ---
    Toma!
[17:06] ---
    Is this wrong?
[17:08] ---
    Is wanting to protect someone,
    even in exchange for my own life,
[17:14] ---
    something that is wrong?!
[17:24] ---
    Well of course it's wrong.
[17:32] ---
    You know, don't you,
[17:34] ---
    how painful it is to have
    someone dear to you die on you?
[17:38] ---
    To have someone suffer,
    and be in pain, right before your eyes,
[17:42] ---
    but there's nothing you can do.
[17:46] ---
    You know the grief of being
    powerless to do anything, don't you?
[17:51] ---
    You had to have panicked.
    It had to have pained you.
[17:54] ---
    It had to have grieved you.
    It had to have hurt you.
[17:56] ---
    It had to have scared you.
    It had to have shaken you.
[17:58] ---
    It had to have made you scream.
    It had to have made you shed tears.
[18:01] ---
    Which is why it's wrong!
[18:02] ---
    An intense shock like that
[18:04] ---
    is not something you
    can push on someone else!
[18:19] ---
    Of all the...
[18:22] ---
    After reading just
    one volume, look at me...
[18:25] ---
    It's no wonder that a tiny vessel
    such as myself found it impossible
[18:29] ---
    to obtain even a single
    volume of the original text.
[18:36] ---
    My life has been nothing but
    a series of setbacks.
[18:39] ---
    Three times now,
    I've given up on my life.
[18:44] ---
    But even so, there was
    something I couldn't give up on.
[18:49] ---
    It was all for the sake of one thing...
[19:11] ---
    Ow! Ow!
[19:12] ---
    What makes you think you can
    bring a tidy end to the matter like that?
[19:16] ---
    That's for my summer vacation homework.
[19:19] ---
    Sheesh, thanks to you,
    my homework is beyond hope now!
[19:23] ---
    Now then, where is this
    person who's so dear to you?
[19:29] ---
    What?
[19:30] ---
    We can manage something without
    using the List of Prohibited Books.
[19:36] ---
    Huh?
[19:37] ---
    You saw my right hand, didn't you?
[19:39] ---
    I'm not a magician,
    so I don't know how bad a curse is,
[19:44] ---
    but by using this, that curse
    will vanish in one shot, won't it?
[19:49] ---
    Th-That's... ridiculous...
[19:52] ---
    I'm not so sure, myself,
    but that's the way my right hand is.
[19:59] ---
    Now then, why don't you show us the way?
[20:03] ---
    I promise you,
    we'll help this person you love.
[20:06] ---
    For that to happen,
    we'll need your cooperation.
[20:09] ---
    So whatever it takes,
    you're going to help us.
[20:12] ---
    You want to help her, don't you?
    With your own two hands?
[20:22] ---
    For crying out loud, now I'm
    at the mercy of a magical curse,
[20:25] ---
    something I don't know anything about.
[20:28] ---
    Let's all go there together,
[20:31] ---
    and kill that good-for-nothing fantasy!
[20:34] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me

[20:41] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[20:58] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone

[21:05] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[21:10] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay

[21:16] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened

[21:22] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[21:27] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer

[21:34] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit

[21:40] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody

[21:45] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me

[21:53] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:38] ---
    "little sister"
[22:45] ---
    Do you even know...
[22:48] ---
    ...just who it is... that you attacked...?
[22:56] ---
    For Pete's sake...
[22:57] ---
    Imagine, England's vaunted knighthood,
[23:00] ---
    brought down like this.
[23:03] ---
    Did you come to stop me?
[23:05] ---
    I was never told to stop you, personally,
[23:09] ---
    and I have my own task to take care of.
[23:11] ---
    That would be on whose orders,
[23:13] ---
    the English Puritan Church,
    or Academy City?
[23:16] ---
    Good question.
[23:18] ---
    Well, if you use your common sense,
    I think you'd know right away.
[23:21] ---
    That is, if you consider whose spy I am,
    you'd know right away.
[23:30] ---
    I'm leaving now. If you wish to
    report to your superiors, feel free.
[23:35] ---
    Oh, yeah? Ah, I'll just retrieve this bunch.
[23:38] ---
    I owe you one.
[23:41] ---
    So anyway, what did you come
    all the way here from England for?
[23:49] ---
    Good question.
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    Index is suddenly taken away.
[23:57] ---
    A giant conspiracy is being
    carried on outside Academy City.
[24:00] ---
    What is the true purpose of
    the group targeting Orsola Aquinas?
