[00:30] ---
    Three is for heaven, four is for earth,
[00:33] ---
    and twelve represents the whole world.
[00:36] ---
    By attaching meaning to specific numbers,
[00:38] ---
    you yield units on
    a grand scale, is that it?
[00:42] ---
    It's a clever procedure, but it
    is not from the church of the cross.
[00:46] ---
    The theory is from ancient Greece,
    BCE, from the Pythagorean order.
[00:50] ---
    Since when did
    you guys ever acknowledge
[00:52] ---
    the world before
    the Son of God was born?
[01:06] ---
    A drawn-out battle
    is not to my advantage.
[01:18] ---
    It's such a shame!
[01:20] ---
    Whenever I see such a fine-spun spell,
[01:23] ---
    I hate to have to destroy it!
[01:29] ---
    I'm always running after you
[01:35] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:35] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:35] ---
    You are my ideal
[01:38] ---
    You are me
[01:42] ---
    There was a bird that could
    not fly any farther than this
[01:47] ---
    It rebuked the blue skies
    on fine, flawless wings
[01:53] ---
    This place is not that bad
[01:55] ---
    That sky is not that high
[01:58] ---
    This place is not that good
[02:05] ---
    Afraid of the speed
    it would feel in its body
[02:10] ---
    Everybody has a chance,
[02:13] ---
    but they cannot go any farther
[02:16] ---
    The truth is they
    cannot take flight
[02:19] ---
    The truth is they
    want to take flight
[02:22] ---
    Right now, beyond the wish
    I want to make come true
[02:28] ---
    you shine
[02:29] ---
    In my eyes I picture you
[02:35] ---
    "Standing in the future,
    always strong,"
[02:38] ---
    and that "you" is me
[02:41] ---
    You are still blindingly bright
[02:47] ---
    but in the same spirit,
    I reach out my hand
[02:50] ---
    and the "I" who I am will
    someday grab hold to become
[02:54] ---
    the you that I will be
[02:59] ---
    #21 Testament (Learning Device)
[03:05] ---
    If those guys show up again...
[03:10] ---
    I have less than four
    minutes of ability mode left.
[03:22] ---
    I'm at least gonna bring
    that kid out of the darkness.
[03:30] ---
    The whole building is clear.
    There's nobody here.
[03:34] ---
    According to the report,
    due to the threat of terrorist activity,
[03:37] ---
    they had the staff and
    patients temporarily evacuate.
[03:41] ---
    They're onto us, huh?
[03:43] ---
    That's not good.
[03:49] ---
    Any chance it's a trap?
[03:51] ---
    No, I can't spot any wires or infrared.
[04:02] ---
    Took you long enough, didn't it?
[04:05] ---
    Heaven Canceller?
[04:07] ---
    There's no time, so I'll keep this brief.
[04:09] ---
    Leave Kihara behind,
    and get yourselves out of there.
[04:12] ---
    Otherwise,
    your lives will be in danger.
[04:15] ---
    Are you serious?
[04:17] ---
    Accelerator is
    going to come down on you.
[04:20] ---
    Right now, he is
    not holding back one bit.
[04:23] ---
    You must not run
    into Accelerator. That is all.
[04:27] ---
    Ha, you're talking nonsense.
[04:31] ---
    I see. Then, don't get killed.
[04:34] ---
    As long as you
    don't die, I'll save you.
[04:46] ---
    Currently, we are receiving
    reports from all over the country
[04:50] ---
    of people suddenly
    losing consciousness.
[04:52] ---
    According to police,
    they are hurrying to identify the cause,
[04:56] ---
    but this is not just happening in Japan,
    as there are reports of cases overseas, as well.
[04:59] ---
    Which means it's spreading
    over there, as well.
[05:02] ---
    As long as Academy City came under
    our control, that's all we needed.
[05:14] ---
    Last Order?! No, is it Kihara?
[05:20] ---
    Thank goodness! I finally got through!
[05:23] ---
    I've heard this voice before somewhere.
[05:25] ---
    I've just been dialing all of the
    numbers in Last Order's cell phone.
[05:30] ---
    You're the only one who answered.
[05:32] ---
    Maybe you don't know what
    the situation is, but I need your help.
[05:35] ---
    She's in danger!
[05:38] ---
    What is the situation?
[05:41] ---
    You got split up
    at the restaurant, right?
[05:43] ---
    I'll take over recovering her now.
    You get rid of that cell phone,
[05:47] ---
    and go back to being a regular guy.
[05:49] ---
    What are you talking about?!
    I'm helping out with this, of course!
[05:54] ---
    You go to that huge
    bridge in School District 7.
[05:57] ---
    We set that up as a rendezvous
    point in case anything happened.
[06:01] ---
    If she's still on
    the run, she'll go there.
[06:03] ---
    Yeah, all right!
[06:05] ---
    Things are kind of off
    here in Academy City today.
[06:08] ---
    We've got weirdos
    coming in from outside the city,
[06:11] ---
    while Antiskill and others in
    the city are dropping like flies.
[06:15] ---
    This attack is fairly indiscriminate,
    so you watch out, too!
[06:19] ---
    Tch, what a pain.
[06:23] ---
    Sorry about this.
[06:25] ---
    I never should have let her go alone.
[06:29] ---
    I could say the same.
    I left the kid alone, myself.
[06:34] ---
    We've lost contact
    with multiple other squads.
[06:37] ---
    It's possible that...
[06:38] ---
    They either ran away,
    or they're dead.
[06:41] ---
    Either way, I'll have to
    collect their hearts afterward.
[06:44] ---
    Have you recovered the
    group we sent out as decoys
[06:47] ---
    when that woman got in our way?
[06:49] ---
    Yes, sir.
[06:50] ---
    There was some kind of power at work,
[06:52] ---
    and the oxygen levels inside
    their bodies had dropped extremely low.
[06:55] ---
    Artificially-induced asphyxia?
    Tsk, this is that woman's doing.
[07:02] ---
    Damn it, it's because of her that our...
[07:08] ---
    Hey!
[07:09] ---
    It can't be!
[07:11] ---
    That creep. How the hell is she targeting?
[07:15] ---
    No, it couldn't be. Unscientifically?
[07:19] ---
    Enough! We're still
    gonna do what we're gonna do.
[07:23] ---
    Is the Testament rig ready?
[07:25] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:28] ---
    Right here.
[07:38] ---
    That... belongs to her...!
[07:48] ---
    How you doing, Accelerator?
[07:52] ---
    What do you want, Kihara?
[07:56] ---
    Tell me, did a snippet of
    the kid's shirt drop around there?
[08:00] ---
    If not, keep looking for it.
    I left it there on purpose.
[08:05] ---
    I've gotta say, though,
    Testament is really something else, huh?
[08:09] ---
    It ain't normal to cram a
    virus right into a person's head.
[08:16] ---
    So, what kind of reaction
    are you expecting from me?
[08:19] ---
    Huh?
[08:20] ---
    Is holding my sides
    and laughing the right answer,
[08:23] ---
    my little masochist?
[08:25] ---
    Hey, you, have you lost the
    capacity to evaluate the situation?
[08:29] ---
    What about you?
    Why don't you kill the kid?
[08:33] ---
    I mean, the folks who
    hired you didn't give you some
[08:37] ---
    tear-jerking line about
    recovering her unharmed, right?
[08:41] ---
    And yet all the same,
    what is it with you quaking in your boots,
[08:44] ---
    unable to lay a finger on her?
[08:47] ---
    I'll kill her.
[08:49] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[08:52] ---
    Given that bastard's personality,
    after everything I said to him,
[08:55] ---
    he'd have plucked one
    of her eyes out, at least.
[08:59] ---
    But since he hasn't, that means...
[09:02] ---
    Well, well, that clinches
    it--he's a full-fledged errand boy.
[09:07] ---
    A backer powerful enough
    to keep even Kihara in check.
[09:10] ---
    It couldn't be...
    Academy City itself?
[09:13] ---
    If so, it's the governing board.
    If I look into them... Ha!
[09:18] ---
    Hey, now, this is awesome.
    Just like that, I'm making headway.
[09:26] ---
    Don't you screw with me!
[09:29] ---
    Take me lightly, will you?!
[10:07] ---
    Hmm... There seems to be
    some kind of commotion out front.
[10:12] ---
    The deployment of the
    Imaginary Number School District,
[10:15] ---
    Five-Element Agency, employing
    AIM diffusion fields, is complete.
[10:19] ---
    If any magic is invoked
    here within Academy City,
[10:23] ---
    that magician will run
    out of control and self-destruct.
[10:27] ---
    Vento of the Front, was it?
    You are no exception to that.
[10:33] ---
    At our current output, we are
    unable to envelop the whole world.
[10:38] ---
    But, with the inclusion
    of Fuse=KAZAKIRI,
[10:41] ---
    the shoe will soon be on the other foot.
[10:55] ---
    What exactly is this?
[10:57] ---
    I've started sensing
    some unidentified presence.
[11:00] ---
    And it's still expanding.
[11:07] ---
    Why, you...
[11:08] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[11:10] ---
    Have you come
    here just so I could kill you?
[11:20] ---
    What have you done with Last Order?!
[11:22] ---
    Last Order, you say?
    I don't know what you're talking about!
[11:28] ---
    What?
[11:35] ---
    Vento, are you...?
[11:35] ---
    I get it. This is the Imaginary
    Number School District,
[11:38] ---
    Five-Element Agency in full view.
[11:40] ---
    I'll deal with small potatoes like you later.
[11:43] ---
    Mess with us, will you?
[11:45] ---
    You have such a low opinion of
    us that you'd go this far?!
[11:55] ---
    She disappeared.
[11:59] ---
    What is it that she saw?
[12:06] ---
    You're kidding... right?
[12:08] ---
    Deployment of Imaginary Number
    School District, Five-Element Agency
[12:12] ---
    commencing. Authenticating code
    for host individual, Last Order.
[12:16] ---
    Fuse=KAZAKIRI will now emerge.
[12:20] ---
    All personnel, please be
    ready for unexpected shocks.
[12:37] ---
    It couldn't be...
[12:39] ---
    An angel?!
[12:40] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[12:46] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:00] ---
    It's too dangerous to stay here.
    But then, where is Last Order?
[13:06] ---
    Damn it!
[13:11] ---
    Listen, I'm at the bridge,
    but Last Order isn't here. Any luck?
[13:17] ---
    What are you, an idiot?
[13:19] ---
    Don't believe the lie I told you.
[13:23] ---
    I should have the kid's
    location pinned down soon.
[13:26] ---
    At the very least, she's nowhere
    you can find running around.
[13:29] ---
    I'll take it from here.
    You go on home now.
[13:34] ---
    You see those
    wings of light too, right?
[13:39] ---
    I have to go stop that angel.
[13:42] ---
    So it really will be hard
    for me to work with you now.
[13:46] ---
    I don't care.
[13:49] ---
    I'm sorry.
[13:51] ---
    Don't get yourself killed.
[13:52] ---
    Right back at you.
[14:02] ---
    So he's finally gone
    and used it, huh? That bastard.
[14:06] ---
    Does he really mean
    to exterminate the enemy?
[14:10] ---
    Signal confirmed
    from host individual #20001.
[14:13] ---
    Danger level 5 estimated.
    Misaka 10032 rejects.
[14:18] ---
    Rejection denied.
    Accepting signal on channels R, V, and Y.
[14:22] ---
    Heavy load on thought functions.
[14:25] ---
    Rejection denied.
[14:27] ---
    We will do all we can
    without opposing the order.
[14:31] ---
    If, as a result, it leads to us
    dispelling this critical situation...
[14:40] ---
    Thomas Platinaburg...
[14:43] ---
    One of the twelve members
    of the governing board...
[14:48] ---
    Operation code name "Angel."
    In order to quell an unknown threat,
[14:53] ---
    Last Order will be recovered,
    and a virus overwritten to counter it.
[14:58] ---
    They can't be serious.
[15:01] ---
    Which means, the kid must still be alive.
[15:06] ---
    Kihara, you bastard,
    where are you hiding?
[15:13] ---
    What's going on here?
[15:16] ---
    Hey!
[15:17] ---
    What are you doing out here?!
[15:19] ---
    Let me go!
[15:20] ---
    I have to go! Hyoka is over there!
[15:23] ---
    Hyoka?
[15:28] ---
    No, you can't Toma!
[15:30] ---
    Don't kill Hyoka!
[15:33] ---
    Index? Misaka?
[15:38] ---
    This way!
[15:39] ---
    Huh?!
[15:41] ---
    Please, Toma! Don't go over there!
[15:45] ---
    I'm sure the angel
    over there has to be Hyoka!
[15:49] ---
    That's... Kazakiri?
[15:51] ---
    I don't understand
    the theory behind it myself,
[15:54] ---
    but Toma, you're the
    last one who can get involved!
[15:57] ---
    If you touch Hyoka, she'll vanish!
[16:00] ---
    I'll figure out what to do
    about Hyoka, so you stay out of this!
[16:04] ---
    I can't.
[16:07] ---
    I'm going to stop her.
    Besides, she's not the only matter at hand.
[16:11] ---
    But Toma, if you use
    your right hand, Hyoka will die!
[16:15] ---
    I won't let her!
[16:17] ---
    I'm going in there
    to save her, not to kill her.
[16:21] ---
    Does that look like Kazakiri
    normally does? No, of course not!
[16:25] ---
    So we have to go help her, don't we?!
[16:28] ---
    Let's go, Index. I'm going to
    need your help to save Kazakiri.
[16:36] ---
    I don't know what this is about,
[16:39] ---
    but you've gotten yourself caught
    up in a huge problem again, huh?
[16:43] ---
    So, there's an acquaintance
    of yours at the center of that thing?
[16:47] ---
    Not an acquaintance. A friend.
[16:51] ---
    I just want to confirm one thing--
    they're not evil, right?
[16:55] ---
    Absolutely not. Like Index said,
    that's our friend in there.
[17:02] ---
    Your friend, huh?
[17:04] ---
    So, that means they're the bad guys, right?
[17:07] ---
    Well, so it goes.
[17:08] ---
    I'll do what I can.
[17:11] ---
    You're...
[17:12] ---
    Sorry, sorry.
[17:13] ---
    I'm starting without giving
    you the chance to stop me!
[17:20] ---
    W-What the...?
[17:24] ---
    Misaka!
[17:25] ---
    The penalty game!
[17:27] ---
    It's still in effect for the rest of the day.
[17:30] ---
    You have to go rescue your
    friend and come back here. Got it?
[17:35] ---
    We'll save her, all right!
    So don't you go getting killed, either!
[17:42] ---
    Right now, I am in an extremely foul mood!
[17:45] ---
    Say, Toma,
[17:47] ---
    you've been quiet this last
    while because of that magician, right?
[17:51] ---
    That's right. I want to know
    how that attack of hers works.
[17:55] ---
    And if there's a
    way to reverse it, that too.
[17:57] ---
    It's probably Divine Retribution.
[18:00] ---
    What did you say?
[18:01] ---
    A certain emotion is the key.
    Those who experience this emotion
[18:05] ---
    bring others down,
    regardless of location or range.
[18:08] ---
    That's why it's Divine Retribution.
[18:10] ---
    Toma, did this magician
    give any indications of that?
[18:14] ---
    Like she was inducing a specific
    emotion more than was necessary?
[18:18] ---
    Specific emotion?
[18:20] ---
    Disgust... No, hostility, or animosity.
[18:24] ---
    You mean, that's the key
    to making her magic work?
[18:28] ---
    Mm-hmm. No matter what stage it's at,
[18:30] ---
    I don't think they can ever
    recover until the magician decides
[18:33] ---
    that the Divine Retribution
    is no longer needed.
[18:35] ---
    Then, what about the
    way Kazakiri's angel works?
[18:39] ---
    Hey, she'll be all right, won't she?
[18:40] ---
    I don't know! There is some
    magic that appears to be similar,
[18:44] ---
    but all the parts she's using
    are crazy stuff I've never seen before.
[18:49] ---
    At the very least, I do know
    that the angel that's over there
[18:52] ---
    and the core that is directing
    it are in two different places.
[18:57] ---
    Kazakiri is on the
    side of science, after all.
[19:03] ---
    What is it, Toma?
[19:05] ---
    Damn, she's not answering.
[19:08] ---
    Is there anyone besides
    Miss Komoe that would understand this?
[19:14] ---
    Misaka!
[19:16] ---
    W-What?!
[19:18] ---
    I want to stop that angel somehow.
    You're the only one who can help!
[19:23] ---
    Hey, Misaka, did you get shot?!
[19:25] ---
    N-No, I didn't.
[19:27] ---
    You know, having me think
    about something else while fighting--
[19:30] ---
    you really are ruthless.
[19:32] ---
    All right, Index, anything
    you don't understand, ask her.
[19:36] ---
    Huh?
[19:38] ---
    Ha-ha, hey, this is awesome.
    What the hell is it?
[19:42] ---
    Damn, you are off your rocker, Aleister.
[19:45] ---
    Does the man even know what reason is?
[19:48] ---
    What kind of scientist is
    it that calls themselves a scientist,
[19:51] ---
    and then disavows science?
[19:53] ---
    Look, you guys!
[19:54] ---
    Since when was
    the Bible a pop-up book--
[19:56] ---
    Huh?
[20:02] ---
    Ki-ha-ra!!
[20:08] ---
    Go on, shoot straight.
[20:11] ---
    Otherwise,
    you're just wasting everyone's time!
[20:21] ---
    D-Don't move!
[20:34] ---
    That was so cool!
    I think I'm falling in love, Accelerator!
[20:40] ---
    Now then,
[20:41] ---
    it's time to scrap you,
[20:44] ---
    you son of a bitch!
[21:02] ---
    Kazakiri...
[21:03] ---
    Kazakiri!!
[21:07] ---
    Kazakiri!
[21:13] ---
    Kaza--
[21:17] ---
    Damn it!
[21:20] ---
    Well, well...
[21:22] ---
    Were the two heinous sinners
    about to lick each other's wounds?
[21:27] ---
    And here I was planning
    to save you until afterward,
[21:31] ---
    but you show up
    here just to be killed.
[21:36] ---
    You don't want
    to witness any more misery,
[21:38] ---
    so you want to be
    the first one I crush, is that it?
[21:41] ---
    I won't let you hurt Kazakiri.
[21:42] ---
    As a member of the Right Seat of God,
[21:46] ---
    I cannot turn a blind eye to that monster.
[21:49] ---
    That thing is a mass of sacrilege,
    brought about by science,
[21:53] ---
    sneering at everyone
    who holds up the cross!
[21:56] ---
    You take that back!
[21:59] ---
    Okay, fine. I'll be nice and kill you.
[22:02] ---
    Together with that fallen angel there!
[22:05] ---
    Like I'd let you. She's already
    going through all this as it is,
[22:09] ---
    and now, you want her to die
    at the hands of someone like you,
[22:13] ---
    who treats her like she's a monster?
[22:15] ---
    You can kiss my ass!
[22:18] ---
    What the hell do you take my friend for?!
[22:47] ---
    At a certain world's center,
[22:50] ---
    I whispered that it
    was okay to be alone
[22:52] ---
    I bent back the hands on the clock
[22:55] ---
    and kept my eyes closed
[23:03] ---
    You can't turn back time that has passed
[23:09] ---
    but on that day, you showed me
[23:12] ---
    that that's how it should be
[23:17] ---
    The miracle of you being
    there as the seasons roll around
[23:22] ---
    makes even the
    broken clock start up again
[23:28] ---
    Right now, yeah, I may
    be a helpless piece of junk
[23:34] ---
    but it's funny how
    I feel like I can change that
[23:39] ---
    All because your voice is still here
[23:44] ---
    for me, even now
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    The fight on every front intensifies.
[23:59] ---
    What is the answer
    Index derives amidst the chaos
[24:01] ---
    created by magic and science?
[24:03] ---
    Next time,
    "The Divine Retribution Spell."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.
