[00:34] ---
    The Croce di Pietro
    is a nasty piece of work
[00:36] ---
    that can be used without
    regard to location or season.
[00:39] ---
    Unless we do something,
[00:41] ---
    Academy City will fall under
    Roman Orthodox control at sundown.
[00:45] ---
    There's no way I'm letting that happen!
[01:07] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:11] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[01:16] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:20] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:26] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:31] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[01:42] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:47] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:52] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:58] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:05] ---
    No buts!

    "#13 Croce di Pietro (Apostolic Cross)"
[02:35] ---
    Oh, my, what a fine
    place for your head to be!
[02:47] ---
    Damn...
[03:00] ---
    It's starting to get dark around here.
[03:03] ---
    Tell me, isn't it about
    time you were getting home?
[03:06] ---
    Or would you rather spend a
    somewhat stimulating evening with me?
[03:13] ---
    One more...
[03:17] ---
    If there was just one
    more thing... One more...
[03:34] ---
    Its name is flame; its purpose, a sword...
[03:38] ---
    Manifest! Feed on my
    body to gain your power...
[03:42] ---
    Innocentius!
[03:56] ---
    Let's go, Innocentius. Fortis 931.
[04:01] ---
    Prove to us now the reason
    why my name is the greatest!
[04:08] ---
    Die with me!
[04:11] ---
    Watch out, you idiot!
[04:15] ---
    Whoops--
[04:18] ---
    Ashes to ashes; dust to dust!
[04:21] ---
    Vampire Killer Crimson Cross!
[04:22] ---
    Oh, no!
[04:28] ---
    Go home, you klutzy magician!
[04:30] ---
    You shut up, ride-along!
[04:40] ---
    Innocentius!
[04:46] ---
    Out of my way, you idiot!
[04:47] ---
    You stay out of my way!
[04:49] ---
    What's going on here? I can't
    predict their next move like this.
[05:05] ---
    A reference point...
    I need an absolute reference point...
[05:11] ---
    A clear rule...
    whereby everyone is happy,
[05:15] ---
    and nobody gets
    dragged into any tragedies
[05:17] ---
    brought about by
    conflicting sets of values...
[05:20] ---
    The ultimate world...
[05:23] ---
    That is why I will win. I will win,
    and create my own answer.
[05:28] ---
    I am... My name is Basis 104!
[05:34] ---
    Get down, ride-along!
[05:46] ---
    Stiyl!
[05:47] ---
    Where are you going?
[05:49] ---
    You're taking me on, aren't you?
[05:55] ---
    That's enough out of you.
[05:57] ---
    How many people are you going
    to hurt before you've had enough?
[06:00] ---
    I don't want to hurt anyone, myself.
[06:04] ---
    But I have my objective.
[06:07] ---
    Now, get over here. Once I crush you,
    my purpose will be at an end.
[06:13] ---
    All that's left will be
    for the Croce di Pietro--
[06:15] ---
    for the Roman Orthodox Church to
    create the world that I desire.
[06:20] ---
    Objective my eye. Stop talking
    like you're such a bigshot,
[06:25] ---
    when you're allowing others
    to determine what your future is.
[06:27] ---
    Letting others determine?
[06:30] ---
    Yes, and I don't even care who they are.
[06:35] ---
    As long as they're
    someone who can bring into line
[06:37] ---
    all the principles and policies
    scattered about the world.
[06:40] ---
    And I will categorically
    defend that reference point.
[06:45] ---
    That's your objective, is it?
[06:48] ---
    I don't get all the
    little details. However,
[06:52] ---
    I cannot accept the ridiculous proposal
[06:54] ---
    that we turn over everyone
    who lives in Academy City.
[06:59] ---
    You can talk like that
    because you don't understand.
[07:03] ---
    You've never seen the expression
    of someone who could do nothing
[07:07] ---
    but stand there transfixed by
    the circumstances they fell victim to.
[07:10] ---
    You've simply never
    heard the word "frustrated."
[07:14] ---
    Even if I haven't,
    that doesn't make it right for you
[07:16] ---
    to attack Academy City as you like.
[07:19] ---
    You can't use the pretext that
    it's okay to do good for someone
[07:23] ---
    if it's on the back of someone else.
[07:26] ---
    No way!
[07:31] ---
    The problems you're confronting
    are something felt by everyone.
[07:36] ---
    Everyone stumbles
    and makes mistakes at times.
[07:39] ---
    However, when you
    fall down, you get back up.
[07:42] ---
    No matter how awkward and
    badly things turn out, you get back up!
[07:47] ---
    You don't go tossing aside
    other peoples' lives along the way!
[07:51] ---
    Which do you choose, Oriana Thomson--
[07:55] ---
    To leave everything up to someone else,
[07:57] ---
    just because you messed up once?
[07:59] ---
    Or to extend a hand to those
    who have failed, despite those failures?
[08:12] ---
    This is how we'll settle this.
[08:16] ---
    I call upon all the ability
    dwelling within me.
[08:20] ---
    Unleash my whole soul,
    and strike the foe before me.
[08:51] ---
    Damn it...
[08:53] ---
    For crying out loud,
    can't you put a little effort
[08:56] ---
    into making the tournament a success?
[08:59] ---
    We've got a bit of a problem.
[09:02] ---
    Come on.
[09:05] ---
    Don't expect much. This is
    outside my area of expertise, too.
[09:09] ---
    Go on... Kami...!
[09:11] ---
    Guys... you who tried
    to preserve the present...
[09:16] ---
    I'll come back to your hospital
    room before the night parade begins.
[09:19] ---
    So make sure to sit tight for me.
[09:21] ---
    That was an expression of my readiness...
[09:26] ---
    I am not... about to let that
    be for nothing... at this point!
[09:46] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:52] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:58] ---
    Stiyl!
[10:00] ---
    Never mind me,
    worry about the Croce di Pietro...!
[10:05] ---
    Get Oriana to tell you where it is.
[10:08] ---
    We have to keep that relic from activating...
[10:11] ---
    There is no need for concern.
    It will all be over soon.
[10:16] ---
    Lidvia Lorenzetti...
[10:21] ---
    Shortly, the Croce di Pietro
    will initiate its effects,
[10:25] ---
    and Academy City will be
    converted to Roman Orthodoxy.
[10:30] ---
    Are you saying that those who
    get in the way, like us, will be purged?
[10:35] ---
    I am just declaring that
    we will care for your injuries,
[10:37] ---
    and see that you are healed.
    That is, of course, if it can be judged
[10:42] ---
    to be beneficial to the
    Roman Orthodox Church.
[10:45] ---
    What?!
[10:46] ---
    Don't listen to what
    she says, Kamijo Toma...
[10:50] ---
    Lidvia must be
    around here somewhere...
[10:53] ---
    The relic will be with her, too...
[10:54] ---
    To avoid any misunderstanding,
    allow me to say,
[10:57] ---
    the Croce di Pietro is
    not currently in Academy City.
[11:01] ---
    What...?
[11:03] ---
    The Roman Apostolic State that
    was created by the Croce di Pietro
[11:07] ---
    was, at its peak,
    47,000 square kilometers.
[11:11] ---
    Even if I release it
    outside of Academy City,
[11:13] ---
    it will easily cover
    the entirety of the city.
[11:17] ---
    We've been had... Oriana was a decoy...
[11:20] ---
    It is a shame that she was defeated,
[11:24] ---
    but the Croce di Pietro will
    turn even that to a proper outcome.
[11:29] ---
    The only thing that is important to us
[11:31] ---
    is the fact that science
    will bow to religion.
[11:34] ---
    By denying science
    and showing off our power,
[11:38] ---
    we can restore the Lord's authority.
[11:42] ---
    Seek and destroy...
[11:44] ---
    It's too much to ask Tsuchimikado
    to use magic twice at this point.
[11:48] ---
    Damn! Then what are we supposed to do?!
[11:51] ---
    We are not conducting
    the destruction of Academy City.
[11:54] ---
    Once we have you renounce
    the heresy of science,
[11:57] ---
    we will embrace you
    as our beloved comrades.
[11:59] ---
    Call Tsuchimikado.
[12:01] ---
    If we can use a divination
    circle to derive Lidvia's location,
[12:04] ---
    then use my communication
    magic to reach our outside forces...
[12:09] ---
    That won't be possible.
[12:10] ---
    The world will be converted
    by the Croce di Pietro...
[12:15] ---
    ...in another 107 seconds.
[12:17] ---
    Checkmate.
[12:20] ---
    Don't we have anything?
[12:22] ---
    Some final trump card that
    will turn the situation around?
[12:26] ---
    Magic that uses the
    constellations in the night sky...
[12:29] ---
    ...whose starlight is
    collected here on the ground...
[12:38] ---
    Tsuchimikado, how many places
    outside of Academy City are there
[12:41] ---
    that could still draw
    all of Academy City in
[12:43] ---
    if the Croce di Pietro were used there?
[12:45] ---
    What did you say?
[12:46] ---
    Just shut up and answer me!
[12:48] ---
    With those conditions,
    what would the farthest point be?
[12:51] ---
    Academy City's northern
    perimeter, by about 1,700 meters.
[12:55] ---
    What about it?
[13:02] ---
    "Daihasei Festival Schedule"
[13:05] ---
    There's only...
[13:06] ---
    Twenty seconds left.
[13:13] ---
    It is all over.
[13:19] ---
    It is indeed over, all right.
[13:22] ---
    And with things finishing like this,
    it's definitely the end for me.
[13:28] ---
    That is what you think, isn't it, Lidvia?
[13:31] ---
    I don't care how much I could
    have laid waste to your fantasies,
[13:35] ---
    if I can't even keep a promise
    to one of my classmates...
[13:37] ---
    Huh? What is this?
[13:57] ---
    W-What...?
[13:59] ---
    The time is now exactly
    6:30 p.m. Didn't you know?
[14:06] ---
    That's the time when
    the night parade starts.
[14:09] ---
    With this much light,
    it should blot out the stars well enough.
[14:14] ---
    No matter where you might be.
[14:19] ---
    You've been beaten by the light created
[14:22] ---
    by everyone observing the Daihasei Festival.
[14:25] ---
    You should have looked into who
    the stars of the Daihasei Festival are.
[14:30] ---
    What will it be? If you agree
    to destroy the Croce di Pietro,
[14:35] ---
    and to never again
    mess with Academy City,
[14:39] ---
    that's good enough for me.
[14:41] ---
    Are you serious? Have you forgotten
[14:44] ---
    that I am a devout believer
    of the Roman Orthodox Church?
[14:48] ---
    I see.
[14:54] ---
    In that case,
[14:56] ---
    let's keep playing tag with one
    another, like the field day this is,
[14:59] ---
    Lidvia Lorenzetti.
[15:11] ---
    So, without saying a word to me,
    Toma, you ended up getting pounded
[15:14] ---
    by participating in a magic battle
    for the fate of Academy City
[15:19] ---
    and the whole world, and had to
    be taken to the hospital, is that it?
[15:22] ---
    Yeah, but Miss Index,
    whenever magic comes up,
[15:25] ---
    you come traipsing right
    into the middle of the incident.
[15:29] ---
    Toma! The way you say that
    very much makes me sound foolish!
[15:33] ---
    Bzzt! The fact that you
    haven't figured it out before
[15:36] ---
    means that you really are--
[15:40] ---
    Oh, dear, what a pleasant sight, yet again.
[15:47] ---
    We were just having a serious talk,
    so don't butt in, short-hair!
[15:52] ---
    Kuroko...
[15:54] ---
    It's okay for the general public
[15:57] ---
    to assist in Judgment's
    security duties, right?
[16:01] ---
    Sissy, not inside
    a hospital, of all places.
[16:05] ---
    Damn.
[16:07] ---
    Okay, fine. Did you
    see today's final results?
[16:10] ---
    Our school slipped easily past
    your school to come out on top!
[16:15] ---
    Don't you go forgetting
    about the penalty game.
[16:18] ---
    W-Well, as far as the penalty game,
[16:20] ---
    I can't participate in
    anything in my condition, so...
[16:22] ---
    Hmm? Well...
[16:25] ---
    ...what if your life depended on it?
[16:36] ---
    Ah, that poor Oriana Thomson.
[16:40] ---
    I must save all those lost,
    captive sinners, personally.
[16:45] ---
    ♪ Ah-ah ♪ Attention, please.
[16:49] ---
    This is Laura Stuart, archbishop
    of the English Puritan Church--
[16:53] ---
    but you're not going
    to say something cold,
[16:56] ---
    like I have to identify myself,
    are you, Miss Lidvia?
[17:00] ---
    Why, here in this private jet...?
[17:04] ---
    When you stopped at Haneda,
[17:06] ---
    I had something pasted
    to the wall of your fuselage.
[17:10] ---
    As creepy as ever, I see.
[17:12] ---
    The more backed into a corner you get,
    the more apt you are to cackle.
[17:17] ---
    I wonder if there's anything
    to be done about that.
[17:20] ---
    The more difficult the situation is,
[17:22] ---
    the greater the joy I feel
    when I break free of it.
[17:25] ---
    I must give thanks to the Lord.
[17:33] ---
    What is it?
[17:34] ---
    The higher the obstacle is,
[17:36] ---
    the greater the thrill at the
    moment you overcome it, you say?
[17:42] ---
    I was just thinking,
    there is some truth to that,
[17:46] ---
    you swine facing a steep cliff.
[18:09] ---
    Lidvia, if you renounce the Roman
    teachings and come kiss at my feet,
[18:14] ---
    I would be willing to save you.
[18:16] ---
    What an absurd thing to say!
[18:18] ---
    I see.
[18:19] ---
    In that case, go ahead and make
    a crater, together with that thing.
[18:24] ---
    The Croce di Pietro!
[18:27] ---
    I won't allow it!
[18:31] ---
    At this speed, I can make it.
    No, I must make it!
[18:35] ---
    It will be right down to the wire,
[18:37] ---
    which makes it all the more thrilling!
[18:43] ---
    Well now, Lidvia, which will you choose?
[18:47] ---
    The world's greatest relic,
    or a poor, lost lamb?
[19:01] ---
    The greater the difficulty,
[19:04] ---
    the greater your joy
    will be when you overcome it,
[19:08] ---
    for getting to walk all over me,
    the one who placed you in it, right?
[19:12] ---
    Walk all over you?
[19:14] ---
    To rub your proud face in it...
    as much as I like...?
[19:37] ---
    We are reeling quite thoroughly
    after this, aren't we?
[19:42] ---
    The development of the Imagine Breaker,
[19:44] ---
    who is to be our key, is as yet unstable.
[19:48] ---
    I am unsure whether
    or not this will be feasible.
[19:52] ---
    I may have to consider the possibility
[19:55] ---
    that I myself will have to go forth.
[20:11] ---
    What are you doing here?
[20:14] ---
    I was sleeping on the
    bench in the waiting room,
[20:17] ---
    but come morning,
    they said I couldn't stay there,
[20:21] ---
    so I came to your comfortable bed.
[20:25] ---
    Are you all better now?
[20:27] ---
    Mm-hmm. From what
    the frog doctor told me,
[20:30] ---
    I should be able to
    get out today or tomorrow.
[20:33] ---
    Aisa, you seem a little
    bit lonely to me. How come?
[20:41] ---
    Did he go and do something
    crazy again this time?
[20:45] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's right.
[20:47] ---
    Oh, yeah. I haven't
    heard all the details yet,
[20:51] ---
    but apparently, some
    Roman Orthodox magicians
[20:54] ---
    were using the "Daihasei Festival"
    thing to launch an attack.
[20:57] ---
    So then, Toma once again went
    off without saying anything to me,
[21:02] ---
    and after running off
    helter-skelter by himself,
[21:05] ---
    only told me about it like he
    was making an after-incident report!
[21:10] ---
    Oh... Then it could have been anyone.
[21:14] ---
    He helps anyone who
    is in trouble, and not just me.
[21:21] ---
    Perhaps I really shouldn't
    have had him help me.
[21:27] ---
    I may be nothing more than
    a bother to everyone else, huh?
[21:31] ---
    No, that's not true!
[21:33] ---
    Huh?
[21:36] ---
    I mean, Toma seems to enjoy
    himself when he's with you, Aisa.
[21:42] ---
    Hey, Fukiyose, what's the big idea,
[21:45] ---
    coming into my
    hospital room and slapping me?
[21:47] ---
    You hush! Anyone would be startled
    when they suddenly see a guy naked!
[21:52] ---
    You're the one who came in while
    I was changing my clothes, right?
[21:54] ---
    What did you say?!
[21:55] ---
    Say, do you know why
    he fights like he does?
[22:00] ---
    Nah.
[22:01] ---
    When I asked him once,
    he said it was for himself.
[22:05] ---
    Maybe for Toma,
    it's what makes him happy.
[22:10] ---
    Huh?
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
    I can always destroy that illusion
[23:01] ---
    The laid out system
    backup install is okay
[23:06] ---
    Fields unknown even
    to God become opened
[23:13] ---
    It's a "living form" that not even data
[23:18] ---
    from 100,000 memories
    in a moment's miracle can infer
[23:25] ---
    In a Magic∞world exciting
    time or space there's no limit
[23:30] ---
    I want the power it
    takes to protect somebody
[23:36] ---
    I can change even
    the destiny that entwines me
[23:44] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    For good or ill, Index and
    I are suddenly off to Italy.
[23:58] ---
    And now that we're here,
    let's relax and do some sightseeing!
[24:01] ---
    Wait, Orsola? And the Amakusa?
[24:04] ---
    Next time, "City of Water."
[24:06] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.
