[00:10] ---
    "Are you okay?"
[00:12] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka.
[00:38] ---
    Thank goodness...
[00:40] ---
    Damn it... thank goodness...
[00:45] ---
    Thank goodness, for real...
[00:48] ---
    This world is cold and harsh, to be sure,
[00:53] ---
    and filled with malice beyond all hope.
[00:56] ---
    However, if you make
    the decision to stretch out your hand,
[01:00] ---
    and struggle, and struggle,
    and struggle some more,
[01:02] ---
    there will definitely be light up ahead.
[01:05] ---
    Which means that the world
    is not so desperate a place
[01:09] ---
    that one cannot reach out
    and snatch a ray of that light.
[01:14] ---
    Misaka hates to be a wet blanket
    while you're having your touching reunion,
[01:21] ---
    but this doesn't look like the war
    is going to have such a happy ending.
[01:28] ---
    The light is converging
    around that giant heap.
[01:32] ---
    If it discharges toward the ground,
    the outcome won't be good for anyone.
[01:37] ---
    Screw that.
[01:44] ---
    Whoa--
[01:44] ---
    Misaka Worst...
[01:47] ---
    I'm going to go stop that.
    Can you keep the kid safe?
[01:51] ---
    Well, nothing's changed, has it?
[01:55] ---
    "Where are you going?"
    says Misaka Misaka, posing a question.
[02:00] ---
    "You aren't going anywhere, right?"
    asks Misaka Misaka, seeking confirmation.
[02:07] ---
    You don't have to worry.
[02:09] ---
    I'll put an end to this in no time.
[02:11] ---
    "No...
[02:12] ---
    I want us to be together forever,"
    says Misaka Misaka, begging.
[02:18] ---
    You're right.
[02:23] ---
    I wanted us to be together forever, too.
[03:23] ---
    I see...
[03:26] ---
    This... is what it's like
    to fight to protect something...
[03:34] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index III"
[03:40] ---
    "#26 Son of God"
[03:44] ---
    There's another light?
[03:46] ---
    What in the world is going on?
[03:49] ---
    Kamijo Toma, are you up there?
[03:55] ---
    What is this?
[03:57] ---
    The necessary output
    should have been achieved.
[04:01] ---
    There should have been enough
    destruction taking place on the ground
[04:05] ---
    to meet the strategic conditions,
    and drive me to victory.
[04:09] ---
    Are you done yet?
[04:11] ---
    It's high time for you...
[04:14] ---
    ...to give up this fantasy of yours!
[04:23] ---
    What...?
[04:28] ---
    The animosity that's been
    encompassing the earth is decreasing?!
[04:32] ---
    Why?!
[04:33] ---
    Tch!
[04:35] ---
    Warning, chapter 88, verse 1--
[04:39] ---
    irregularity in main body
    during search operation.
[04:42] ---
    Gravely negative effect on
    operational efficiency developing
[04:46] ---
    due to over-susceptibility
    to external stimulus.
[04:51] ---
    The English Puritan sorcerers?!
[04:58] ---
    What lousy luck.
[05:00] ---
    I only need to buy five to ten seconds.
[05:03] ---
    In that time, I'll forcibly
    reset the grimoire library.
[05:07] ---
    I don't care if the high load
    burns out all 103,000 volumes!
[05:12] ---
    I'm going to flush away the enemy before me!
[05:17] ---
    Here I am, trying to maximize the
    miracles and blessings of the Son of God
[05:21] ---
    to bring this phenomenon about,
    and this bastard shows no regard!
[05:27] ---
    Good luck or bad luck
    doesn't factor into this.
[05:29] ---
    He has the power to trample such
    blurry distinctions under his foot!
[05:35] ---
    If you think yours is
    the only way to save anyone,
[05:41] ---
    then I'll start by
    laying waste to that delusion!
[06:03] ---
    Excuse me! Sasha and I have
    already escaped in the container.
[06:10] ---
    Please hurry, yourself.
    The Star of B'Tselem is about to start falling.
[06:18] ---
    This is it, then.
[06:22] ---
    Hey, let's go.
[06:27] ---
    The remaining escape containers
    probably won't be of any use now.
[06:32] ---
    At best, it's a question of finding
    an individual-sized one that will work.
[06:36] ---
    Only one of us is going to survive this.
[06:40] ---
    Looks like.
[06:46] ---
    Are you sure?
[06:47] ---
    I'm someone who doesn't really know
    just how big a place the world is.
[06:54] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[06:55] ---
    In that case, go and find
    out for yourself now.
[07:19] ---
    Misaka?!
[07:25] ---
    Hey, can't you set down anywhere?
[07:28] ---
    "Shaking incident to
    the fortress's fall will be too intense,
[07:31] ---
    so we cannot get any
    closer," explains Misaka.
[07:36] ---
    "Even if we did set down, our chances
    of escape would be remote," says--
[07:40] ---
    Okay, fine.
[07:42] ---
    Keep us as level as you can.
    I'm going to drag that idiot over myself.
[07:48] ---
    Don't do it! Stay back, Misaka!
[07:49] ---
    Shut up, will you?! There's
    no turning back now!
[08:08] ---
    Not yet.
[08:13] ---
    "The fortress's shaking
    has exceeded the designated value,"
[08:15] ---
    reports Misaka.
[08:18] ---
    "If we get any closer, we could collide."
[08:21] ---
    Let him have buttons, or a belt, or whatever,
[08:24] ---
    anything to let me reel
    him in with magnetism!
[08:30] ---
    Huh?
[08:49] ---
    Toma?
[08:54] ---
    Index...
[08:57] ---
    Why didn't you escape?
[09:00] ---
    Same reason as your magical item.
[09:02] ---
    It's because I have to take care
    of the whole fortress, too.
[09:12] ---
    I'm sorry.
[09:15] ---
    I'd kept it hidden this whole time.
[09:18] ---
    But I wasn't sure whether
    it was really the right thing to do.
[09:24] ---
    I've done something terrible to you.
    I've been tricking you all this time.
[09:31] ---
    There's no guarantee I'll ever come
    back from the Star of B'Tselem.
[09:36] ---
    So I'm going to tell you now,
    while I still can. I've...
[09:42] ---
    I've lost my...
[09:53] ---
    That's okay.
[09:55] ---
    It doesn't matter now.
[09:58] ---
    Nothing matters, as long as
    you come back your usual self.
[10:05] ---
    I swear I'll be back.
    And once I get back, I promise,
[10:10] ---
    I'll bow down and apologize in person,
    not just via this magical item.
[10:16] ---
    50.9 megahertz.
[10:19] ---
    You'll be able to connect with the
    speakers here. Tell the English Puritans.
[10:25] ---
    I need their advice as to how to bring
    down the Star of B'Tselem more safely.
[10:32] ---
    I can't do that. I can't
    go back of my own will.
[10:37] ---
    I guess not, huh?
[10:44] ---
    Head on back ahead of me, okay?
[10:47] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[11:06] ---
    Toma...
[11:18] ---
    So, if I destroy the elevating magical items
    that are keeping the Star aloft,
[11:22] ---
    I can change the location
    where it will fall, right?
[11:25] ---
    The items are in 20 different places in all.
[11:27] ---
    If you destroy three of
    them--numbers three, nine, and 13--
[11:32] ---
    it should come down in the Arctic Ocean.
[11:34] ---
    Got it.
[11:36] ---
    You know, her consciousness was
    there on the Star of B'Tselem earlier.
[11:41] ---
    Couldn't you have resolved this
    situation by using her knowledge then?
[11:46] ---
    You think I could let Index suffer
    like that for one minute longer?
[11:56] ---
    Third magical item confirmed destroyed.
[12:00] ---
    This is strange.
    There's something huge out there...
[12:02] ---
    Telesma? What would it be doing there?
[12:06] ---
    Misha Kruezhev is advancing
    toward the Arctic Ocean!
[12:10] ---
    Reading a line of telesma between the two.
[12:13] ---
    Reciprocal interference
    is clearly being generated.
[12:16] ---
    What?
[12:17] ---
    It couldn't be some new power...
    No, is she trying to restore herself physically?
[12:23] ---
    What do you mean?
[12:25] ---
    Misha Kruezhev presides over water.
[12:28] ---
    If she uses the polar ice cap,
    including special symbols and emblems,
[12:31] ---
    her power will become even greater.
[12:34] ---
    But there's a possibility that
    if she tries to elicit too much power,
[12:37] ---
    the very body that Misha
    is composed of will explode,
[12:41] ---
    and a great deal of telesma will be released.
[12:49] ---
    How do we stop her?
[12:52] ---
    We weren't sure we could stop even
    the old Misha with an organized response.
[12:58] ---
    The Star of B'Tselem has deviated
    from its earlier course.
[13:02] ---
    What?!
[13:05] ---
    Don't tell me he's...
[13:43] ---
    Sure, this world may perish someday.
[13:48] ---
    But it doesn't have to be
    a tragic ending, like this.
[13:53] ---
    It has to be okay to fight
    to keep that from happening.
[14:30] ---
    Damn it, I can't find anything!
[14:33] ---
    I have to find something, doesn't matter what,
    that will let me negotiate with Academy City.
[14:37] ---
    Hamazura, we have to get out of here, now.
    They'll be coming for us.
[14:42] ---
    I know. Just a few more minutes.
[14:45] ---
    Use my blood as an insurance policy.
[14:49] ---
    The 4th-ranked DNA map.
    If all three of us are carrying it,
[14:54] ---
    we can keep them in check.
[14:57] ---
    Mugino...
[14:58] ---
    Honestly...
[15:00] ---
    You are so much trouble, aren't you?
[15:04] ---
    Who are you?
[15:05] ---
    Your ally. Perhaps you recognize me
    from my work up the chain of command?
[15:11] ---
    What is it she always says?
[15:13] ---
    "It's always like this with you."
[15:16] ---
    It's a relief to secure Takitsubo Riko,
    my top-priority objective.
[15:21] ---
    Takitsubo is your top priority?
[15:23] ---
    You didn't notice?
    When you attacked those masked units,
[15:28] ---
    Takitsubo Riko affected
    Mugino Shizuri's Personal Reality.
[15:34] ---
    Are you saying...?
[15:35] ---
    She is already indicated
    as such on the Parameter List,
[15:39] ---
    but she has the extraordinary
    potential to become the "8th."
[15:44] ---
    If her evolution continues,
[15:46] ---
    she could become someone capable of providing
[15:49] ---
    all of Academy City's
    functionality all by herself--
[15:51] ---
    a so-called "Academy Individual."
[15:55] ---
    Hold on.
[15:57] ---
    You're saying you knew this beforehand?!
[16:00] ---
    That no matter how hard we try,
[16:02] ---
    those who succeed, succeed,
    and those who fail, fail?
[16:06] ---
    Takitsubo and I have gone down
    this road on our own. But if Hamazura
[16:13] ---
    had been given a fair and equal shake...
[16:17] ---
    Mugino...
[16:18] ---
    Not the reaction I'd expect from you.
[16:21] ---
    Have you gotten so you can sympathize
    with the feelings of weaklings?
[16:25] ---
    Shut up.
[16:28] ---
    It's okay.
[16:30] ---
    We're ITEM. That's not something I regret.
[16:35] ---
    So it's okay!
[16:45] ---
    You still alive, Hamazura?
[16:47] ---
    Thanks, Digurv!
    We're still alive because of you.
[16:50] ---
    Why?
[16:53] ---
    This isn't Academy City.
[16:55] ---
    Even a Level 0 like me was able
    to rely on the help of others,
[16:59] ---
    and managed to survive.
[17:03] ---
    Reinforcements will be here soon.
[17:06] ---
    Nothing about the situation has changed.
[17:08] ---
    I know.
[17:14] ---
    You said something interesting a moment ago.
    "Parameter List," was it?
[17:21] ---
    You're going to tell me
    everything you know about it.
[17:24] ---
    I'll show you just how cruel a person can be
[17:28] ---
    so long as they can excuse it
    as protecting the ones they love.
[17:35] ---
    This is the recovery team. Target secured.
[17:39] ---
    Now heading to the
    rendezvous point with the main unit.
[17:43] ---
    Where are those kids?
[17:45] ---
    Another unit has them.
[17:47] ---
    Hmph, then promise me something--
[17:51] ---
    From now on, you won't hide behind
    the kid or the Sisters to issue orders.
[17:56] ---
    Do not toy around with a
    single one of their lives any further.
[18:01] ---
    I won't permit you to force people like me
[18:04] ---
    to do dirty jobs for the underworld, either.
[18:09] ---
    You don't seem to get it, do you?
[18:11] ---
    Huh? No, you're the one
    who doesn't seem to get it.
[18:16] ---
    H-His switch is turned off, right?
[18:19] ---
    Yeah, it should be.
[18:21] ---
    Double-check it.
[18:30] ---
    This isn't a negotiation,
    a suggestion, or a trade.
[18:36] ---
    It's a triumphant return,
    you sons of bitches.
[19:10] ---
    I-It can't be...!
[19:13] ---
    Aleister Crowley?
[19:17] ---
    Sure enough, I'm well recognized
    even outside of my tank.
[19:22] ---
    But why?
[19:24] ---
    Though you may not realize
    the value of things,
[19:26] ---
    you did go after that
    right hand a bit too hard.
[19:30] ---
    If only you had recognized it
[19:32] ---
    simply as a right hand that
    could negate extraordinary powers.
[19:36] ---
    But you got a peek as
    to what's inside, didn't you?
[19:39] ---
    That is something I cannot
    allow to be left unattended.
[19:42] ---
    What was inside...?
[19:44] ---
    I'm sure you know what it is.
[19:46] ---
    Though it was an unsuccessful, outdated plan,
[19:49] ---
    how is it any different from Academy City,
[19:52] ---
    which is a world with a certain
    sort of power enclosed within it?
[19:55] ---
    I see... so in my own way,
    I've gotten close to the truth of the world.
[20:02] ---
    Looking at your face, I can sense
    the futility of what I've done.
[20:08] ---
    Someone who could truly save
    the world wouldn't make that face.
[20:12] ---
    At the time, at that place, he stood
    where no one else could reach him.
[20:25] ---
    I don't think it's going to work.
[20:29] ---
    It was never a question
    of whether or not it will work!
[20:33] ---
    I can't allow you to trample all over it!
[20:44] ---
    That fact that you thought
    you could explain that right hand,
[20:48] ---
    and Kamijo, the Purifier of God,
    with no more than the church of the cross,
[20:53] ---
    is where your failure really lies.
[20:58] ---
    I'm reading something!
[21:00] ---
    This wavelength is that of the
    Golden Sorcerer, Aleister Crowley!
[21:05] ---
    So, he is alive.
[21:09] ---
    Well then, things are just
    starting to get interesting.
[21:14] ---
    Aleister, chairman of the governing board...
[21:23] ---
    You seem to be enjoying this.
[21:26] ---
    Yes. I find it quite pleasant.
[21:28] ---
    Or more precisely, I'm delighted that
    this pleasant time will be prolonged.
[21:33] ---
    He has done well. It was
    less about purging me,
[21:38] ---
    and more like a shift
    into a different domain.
[21:42] ---
    I think you should learn
    a little more about humans.
[21:48] ---
    If you underestimate them, you may
    end up stabbed through the heart in no time.
[21:54] ---
    What are you saying?
[21:56] ---
    If those delicate humans
    could actually do such a thing,
[22:01] ---
    then wouldn't you find that
    to be an extremely fascinating case?
[22:28] ---
    Hmm. Looks like he's still alive, anyway.
[22:33] ---
    You don't want this to end like this,
    after he mopped the floor with you, do you?
[22:38] ---
    I want you to tell me what you saw and heard.
[22:41] ---
    Who are you?
[22:43] ---
    Ollerus.
[22:45] ---
    Someone who once should
    have been a Magic God,
[22:48] ---
    but was then unseated
    by the One-Eyed Othinus.
[22:53] ---
    A wretched sorcerer.
[22:57] ---
    We have looked over the conditions
    presented to us by Academy City,
[23:02] ---
    and have agreed to a seat
    at the conference table.
[23:06] ---
    As of this moment,
    I declare all hostilities at an end.
[23:13] ---
    It is my sincere wish that this decision,
    which we all reached together,
[23:18] ---
    will be recorded in the history
    of a future world at peace
[23:21] ---
    as having been correct.
[23:29] ---
    Hmm...
[23:31] ---
    For someone who's always
    claiming "Just my luck,"
[23:33] ---
    you have some pretty strong mojo, don't you,
[23:36] ---
    Kamijo Toma?
[23:40] ---
    
[23:42] ---
