    Toma!
[00:33] ---
    Come forth, one of the twelve Apostles,
[00:35] ---
    publican, smiter of magicians,
    and humble servant!
[00:42] ---
    Index!
[00:44] ---
    Damn!
[00:49] ---
    Sister Angelene! Are you...
[00:51] ---
    N-No! It wasn't me!
[00:54] ---
    CTRTTOP, AO!
[01:04] ---
    Pretty sloppy! You don't
    pay any mind to external matters,
[01:08] ---
    which makes it easy to take control!
[01:10] ---
    Spell Intercept?!
[01:13] ---
    The order to retreat?
[01:16] ---
    Sister Angelene!
[01:18] ---
    R-Right!
[01:23] ---
    Now you see, right?
[01:25] ---
    This is how the greatest sect
    in the church of the cross,
[01:28] ---
    the Roman Orthodox Church,
    acts behind the scenes!

    "#04 Sheol Fear (Voice of the Magicbane)"
[03:04] ---
    Even if everything the man says is true,
[03:08] ---
    they are unlikely to kill
    Orsola Aquinas right away.
[03:12] ---
    They have their own
    circumstances to deal with.
[03:15] ---
    Circumstances such as what?
[03:17] ---
    The deciphering
    of the Book of the Law
[03:19] ---
    poses a threat to
    the Roman Orthodox Church,
[03:21] ---
    but Orsola Aquinas
    is not guilty of anything.
[03:24] ---
    "Thou shalt not kill those
    who believe the teachings of God."
[03:28] ---
    Then, why were the Amakusa trying
    to prevent Orsola's assassination?
[03:33] ---
    Because there is an exception.
[03:35] ---
    "Thou shalt not kill those
    who believe the teachings of God."
[03:39] ---
    If they conform to this rule,
[03:41] ---
    it becomes okay to kill a person
    who is expelled from the church,
[03:45] ---
    as someone who does not
    believe the teachings of God.
[03:49] ---
    In other words, she's going to
    be labeled as an enemy of God.
[03:56] ---
    The power of a grimoire
    brings happiness to no one.
[04:01] ---
    The only thing it gives rise
    to is the conflict concerning it.
[04:08] ---
    Screw that!
[04:09] ---
    Unfortunately, it's already over.
    There's nothing more we can do.
[04:15] ---
    What does that mean?!
    What do you take a person's life for?!
[04:19] ---
    This is nothing more than
    the Roman Orthodox Church
[04:22] ---
    trying a case that happened
    among them by their own rules.
[04:25] ---
    Or would you like to start
    a war in order to save her?
[04:32] ---
    Well...
[04:34] ---
    Ah, young man,
    don't be so depressed.
[04:38] ---
    Even if the English Puritans have
    no reason to fight, we have plenty.
[04:43] ---
    I'll just drop on
    over at those guys' base,
[04:46] ---
    and as long as I'm
    rescuing my own numbskulls,
[04:48] ---
    I can save Sister Orsola, as well.
[04:50] ---
    Don't tell me you're thinking of going alone.
[04:55] ---
    If that's my only choice,
    then that's what I'll do.
[05:08] ---
    I guess that settles that.
[05:11] ---
    Let's split up and go into hiding, too.
[05:14] ---
    You take Index with you back to Academy City.
[05:17] ---
    All right.
[05:18] ---
    Oh...
[05:20] ---
    Also, there's one
    thing I wanted to ask you.
[05:23] ---
    What's that?
[05:24] ---
    That crucifix that I gave you before--
[05:27] ---
    you don't appear to have it now, do you?
[05:30] ---
    Oh, sorry. I let Orsola
    hold it, and she still has it.
[05:34] ---
    I hope it wasn't too expensive.
[05:38] ---
    No, its value was
    in having you carry it.
[05:42] ---
    But it's okay. After all,
    it's nothing you need right now.
[05:49] ---
    Let's go.
[05:50] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[06:04] ---
    What am I supposed to do now?
[06:07] ---
    Wasn't there anything
    that I could have done, too?
[06:12] ---
    These are all magicians' issues,
[06:14] ---
    so you don't have to
    impose yourself into them, Toma.
[06:17] ---
    Maybe.
[06:18] ---
    Everything else up to
    now has been exceptional.
[06:21] ---
    Nobody can solve every problem
[06:23] ---
    that happens to occur in
    front of them by themselves.
[06:29] ---
    I guess.
[06:43] ---
    Oh, right...
[06:45] ---
    Our refrigerator is empty.
[06:48] ---
    I'll go find a convenience store,
    and buy us something or other.
[06:51] ---
    If you're going to the store,
    maybe we should all go together.
[06:55] ---
    Do you know where it is?
[06:57] ---
    Not really. If I run around there,
    I should find it, though.
[07:20] ---
    Orsola's Church?
[07:21] ---
    Yes. Orsola Aquinas was successful
    in spreading God's teachings
[07:25] ---
    in three different heathen lands,
[07:28] ---
    so she received special permission
    to build a church bearing her name.
[07:33] ---
    I'm sure it's around here someplace.
[07:49] ---
    Sheesh. You know you
    shouldn't make this difficult for us.
[07:54] ---
    Unfortunately, we don't
    have time for your fun and games.
[07:58] ---
    Understand that, and take
    your punishment without any trouble--
[08:02] ---
    Are you listening to me?!
    I said, are you listening to me?! Hey!
[08:11] ---
    I must say, you don't have
    many friends you can rely on, do you?
[08:16] ---
    Imagine, seeking the
    cooperation of the Amakusa
[08:19] ---
    just as soon as you met with them!
[08:22] ---
    The Amakusa, the English Puritans--
[08:24] ---
    it's presumptuous for them to
    even claim to be the church of the cross.
[08:29] ---
    This is what you get for
    trying to turn over your precious life
[08:33] ---
    to the likes of them.
    After just a little conciliation,
[08:36] ---
    they were easily taken in, and good
    enough to bring us our quarry.
[08:40] ---
    Taken... in...?
[08:43] ---
    You mean...
    that you deceived... the others...?
[08:49] ---
    Yeah.
[08:50] ---
    Then it is not that... they worked
    with you... You tricked them?
[08:56] ---
    It doesn't matter either way, does it?!
[08:59] ---
    When you personally deliver
    the one you're supposed to protect
[09:01] ---
    into the hands of the enemy,
    you're beyond any hope!
[09:08] ---
    Is that a fact?
[09:10] ---
    W-What are you smiling about?!
[09:13] ---
    Is that right? Right now, I...
[09:19] ---
    ...am smiling, aren't I?
[09:22] ---
    I have more or less learned my lesson...
[09:26] ---
    ...about what the true nature
    of the Roman Orthodox Church is.
[09:31] ---
    Huh?
[09:33] ---
    They act as a result
    of what they believe.
[09:38] ---
    By believing a person,
    believing a thought, believing a feeling,
[09:43] ---
    they will come flocking
    to you anywhere you go.
[09:48] ---
    By contrast, all we can do
    is act based on what we doubt.
[09:54] ---
    And what an ugly thing that is.
[09:59] ---
    If you want to die so badly,
    then please, do whatever you like!
[10:05] ---
    You can go ahead and die,
[10:08] ---
    thoroughly blaming the
    fools who put you through this!
[10:12] ---
    And just...
[10:13] ---
    ...what should I blame them for?
[10:17] ---
    What?
[10:18] ---
    They never... had any
    reason to fight in the first place.
[10:25] ---
    But even so, they came rushing
    to help me, a complete stranger.
[10:34] ---
    Tell me, can there be any
    more alluring a gift than this,
[10:38] ---
    anywhere in the entire world?
[10:42] ---
    For what reason am
    I to blame the people...
[10:47] ---
    ...who gave me...
    such a magnificent gift as this?
[11:01] ---
    Don't tell me our
    barrier has been breached!
[11:03] ---
    Damn! What organization is it?
[11:21] ---
    Hmph, how could a mere
    amateur do that... or so I wondered.
[11:27] ---
    But you possess something
[11:28] ---
    with an absolute power
    against our barrier, is that it?
[11:33] ---
    Just so I know, tell me,
    are you planning to hoodwink me anymore?
[11:37] ---
    Hoodwink? How so? After seeing
    what is going on, can you not tell?
[11:42] ---
    Geez, it would seem that
    the English Puritans have run away,
[11:47] ---
    but what exactly is it that you want?
[11:49] ---
    Come now, this is your last chance.
[11:52] ---
    You must know what it is
    that you ought to be doing, right?
[11:57] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[11:58] ---
    This is indeed my last chance.
[12:01] ---
    I know that quite well.
[12:03] ---
    In that case...
[12:11] ---
    W-Why, you...!
    What do you think you're doing?!
[12:15] ---
    What I ought to be doing, you say?
    I'll teach you to mess with me!
[12:20] ---
    I'm here to save her, of course!
[12:23] ---
    You are a fascinating one.
[12:26] ---
    How much do you think you alone can do,
    under these circumstances?
[12:30] ---
    Why don't you go ahead and show us?!
[12:43] ---
    For crying out loud.
[12:45] ---
    I wish you wouldn't start without me.
[12:47] ---
    Stiyl!
[12:48] ---
    Th-The English Puritans!
[12:50] ---
    Impossible! This is a matter for
    the Roman Orthodox Church alone!
[12:54] ---
    Don't you see that you are
    interfering in our internal affairs?!
[12:58] ---
    Yeah. Unfortunately,
    that does not apply here.
[13:02] ---
    Look at Orsola Aquinas' chest.
[13:05] ---
    There is an English Puritan
    crucifix hanging there, right?
[13:10] ---
    The act itself of having it
    placed there by someone means
[13:13] ---
    the acceptance of English Puritan
    protection. In other words,
[13:18] ---
    Orsola Aquinas
    is not Roman Orthodox,
[13:21] ---
    but a member of the
    English Puritan Church now.
[13:26] ---
    I see. So then...
[13:29] ---
    Do you really think that
    sophistry is going to work here?!
[13:32] ---
    No, I don't. However, if you
    Roman Orthodox are going to submit her
[13:37] ---
    to your own exclusive inquisition...
[13:43] ---
    ...then the English Puritan Church
    cannot stand by and say nothing.
[13:49] ---
    As such, how dare you
    turn your blades against her.
[13:54] ---
    Do you really think I am
    such a sweet, kindhearted man
[13:57] ---
    that I would just look on and do nothing?
[14:00] ---
    So what if just one of
    you has now become two?
[14:02] ---
    Don't go thinking
    it's just the two of them.
[14:08] ---
    You don't have to bother asking
[14:10] ---
    what my reason for
    having to fight is, do you?
[14:14] ---
    Tatemiya...
[14:16] ---
    And here I thought I had discussed
    this with the English Puritans,
[14:20] ---
    and arranged to settle this before
    you could make your move...
[14:26] ---
    You're an even bigger fool than I imagined.
[14:29] ---
    But then, who can dislike
    a fool that's fun to watch?
[14:33] ---
    You know...
[14:34] ---
    I said I would take care of this, Toma,
[14:37] ---
    so you didn't have to concern yourself.
[14:40] ---
    Index...
[14:41] ---
    However, now that it's come
    to this, I guess there's no choice.
[14:45] ---
    Toma, let's save Orsola Aquinas,
[14:48] ---
    and do it together.
[14:50] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[14:52] ---
    Yeah!
[14:56] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[15:12] ---
    Kill them!
[15:19] ---
    Orsola, are you all right?
[15:21] ---
    Yes. This is no problem whatsoever.
[15:28] ---
    What is this?
[15:29] ---
    If I needed a reason to fight,
[15:31] ---
    I've got one right here,
    plain as day, don't I?
[15:50] ---
    Th-Thank you.
[15:58] ---
    Nya-ha! Is this a lofty
    elevation of appreciation,
[16:01] ---
    inspiration, and exhilaration,
    Miss Kanzaki?
[16:04] ---
    Tsuchimikado...
[16:06] ---
    Ah, thank goodness--finding
    out that my one-time pals
[16:09] ---
    didn't kidnap Orsola to
    use the Book of the Law
[16:11] ---
    for their own personal interests, am I right?
[16:15] ---
    Are you finished?
[16:18] ---
    More than likely, you were
    contriving to use this opportunity
[16:21] ---
    to snatch the original Book of
    the Law text out from under them.
[16:26] ---
    You pretty much know
    all the particulars, right?
[16:29] ---
    The Amakusa did not
    steal the Book of the Law.
[16:33] ---
    It was a false charge fabricated by
    the Roman Orthodox Church.
[16:36] ---
    Which means, there was never
    any need to bring the Book of the Law
[16:40] ---
    all the way here to Japan.
[16:42] ---
    The Book of the Law
    brought into Japan is a fake,
[16:45] ---
    while the original text is, even
    now, deep in the Vatican Library.
[16:50] ---
    So, are you satisfied now?
[16:55] ---
    Yes. As long as he's here,
[16:57] ---
    then the Amakusa will follow
    the right path, even without me.
[17:39] ---
    A-Are you all right?
[17:41] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[17:52] ---
    Damn!
[18:20] ---
    Huh?
[18:30] ---
    Don't go showing me such
    a no-account sight as that!
[18:34] ---
    Stop!
[18:38] ---
    Don't get too close to
    her so indiscreetly right now.
[18:41] ---
    If we get too close, we'll be taking
    her strength away from her.
[18:52] ---
    W-What was that?
[19:02] ---
    That is a song which
    uses all the knowledge
[19:05] ---
    from the 103,000 volumes,
    and thoroughly denounces
[19:08] ---
    the contradictions in
    those doctrines-- "Sheol Fear."
[19:13] ---
    For people who act on and
    follow doctrines as their own OS,
[19:16] ---
    it is indeed fair to call
    it their "natural enemy."
[19:19] ---
    Upon hearing it,
[19:20] ---
    their personalities collapse
    like a puzzle, albeit temporarily.
[19:25] ---
    Grimoires are not
    simply things to be read.
[19:28] ---
    Even without any magical power,
    she has mastered the grimoires.
[19:34] ---
    I doubt there is
    any better person than her
[19:36] ---
    to serve as the grimoires' librarian.
[19:40] ---
    Then again, if she had
    that kind of trick up her sleeve,
[19:43] ---
    why didn't she use it to begin with?
[19:47] ---
    This attack...
[19:48] ---
    ...works on what's
    called the "group mind,"
[19:51] ---
    and breaks down the mental barriers.
[19:53] ---
    As such, the purity of
    that group mind is an issue.
[20:02] ---
    When we were fighting you guys,
    Kamijo Toma and I were in the way,
[20:06] ---
    and the purity was diminished,
    so it would have performed poorly.
[20:09] ---
    If we'd run into that, it would
    have been no laughing matter.
[20:17] ---
    --This could be bad.
    --What do we do?
[20:20] ---
    --Can we run away?
    --Y-Y-Yes!
[20:22] ---
    Stop making such a fuss!
[20:25] ---
    It makes you look like fools!
[20:27] ---
    Especially you, Sister Angelene!
[20:29] ---
    B-But Sister Agnese,
[20:32] ---
    it has been more than ten minutes
    since the fighting started.
[20:35] ---
    Even counting Orsola, there
    is such a great difference in numbers.
[20:39] ---
    This is not normal.
[20:42] ---
    Y-You see?
[20:44] ---
    Which side caused
    that explosion just now?
[20:47] ---
    There is a chance that they
    have started taking the offensive!
[20:51] ---
    W-We should act, too!
    They can use all the help they can get!
[20:58] ---
    In that case, I release
    you from my bodyguard detail.
[21:02] ---
    Go ahead and join the battle lines.
[21:04] ---
    R-Right! There is no
    way we will let them get away!
[21:16] ---
    They can't get away.
[21:18] ---
    There is no way they can escape.
[21:21] ---
    Such is the way this filthy,
    cursed world has been put together.
[21:41] ---
    Focus on attack!
[21:42] ---
    Forget about defense!
[21:44] ---
    Do the honorable thing, as we
    annihilate the enemies of the Lord!
[21:54] ---
    Some kind of magical attack?
[22:09] ---
    Th-They wouldn't...
[22:12] ---
    Just to avoid the Sheol Fear...?
[22:25] ---

[23:58] ---
    We are boxed in by the
    continuous stream of attacks.
[24:01] ---
    Is there any way for us to prevail?

    cross paths, the story begins.
