    #22 The Divine Retribution Spell
[02:04] ---
    I'm down to sixty
    seconds of control time.
[02:06] ---
    As long as I kill this guy,
    it will all be over.
[02:10] ---
    I can't go back
    down the path of light now.
[02:13] ---
    So just think about taking Kihara
    down to hell with you now!
[02:23] ---
    You dirty punk,
[02:24] ---
    how dare you come
    stand before me like this!
[02:29] ---
    What's the matter, kid?
[02:31] ---
    I thought you were
    here to save the girl.
[02:34] ---
    Damn you...
[02:35] ---
    Tell me, do you think you're
    super cool to be doing this?
[02:41] ---
    Facing off all alone
    against some giant evil,
[02:44] ---
    dashing in to rescue
    the pitiful, captive little girl?
[02:49] ---
    Do you think that makes
    up for everything else
[02:51] ---
    you've done in your life?
[02:54] ---
    You'll wallow in
    mud your whole life.
[02:58] ---
    Damn it all,
[03:00] ---
    I know that.
[03:02] ---
    I know I'm stuck in
    the mud my whole life.
[03:04] ---
    That's not what I'm after.
[03:08] ---
    You and I are the only
    ones who have to go to hell.
[03:12] ---
    Don't go dragging
    the kid down along with us!
[03:16] ---
    You filthy bastard!
[04:00] ---
    You're starting to become a pain.
[04:03] ---
    Swinging around
    that vile right hand of yours,
[04:05] ---
    protecting that nauseating
    angel like you are.
[04:07] ---
    How much are you going to crack
    me up before you're happy?!
[04:11] ---
    Oh, come off it!
[04:13] ---
    What, you think your point of
    view is the only one in the world?
[04:17] ---
    Why won't you accept that there
    are others who aren't like you?!
[04:23] ---
    I hate science!
[04:26] ---
    I detest science!
[04:33] ---
    I hate this sort of science!
[04:39] ---
    I detest the kind of science
    that just let my brother die!
[04:50] ---
    Someone's there?
[04:53] ---
    Hold on!
[04:55] ---
    What?
[05:03] ---
    Kazakiri!
[05:09] ---
    This is all science is!
    And you're one of them!
[05:13] ---
    You don't find that disgusting?!
[05:18] ---
    Ha! When your battery dies,
    you're just an immobile piece of junk.
[05:32] ---
    What do you think about how
[05:35] ---
    you fought back that squad of--
[05:45] ---
    Why, you...!
[05:59] ---
    What... the...?
[06:18] ---
    Kazakiri...
[06:32] ---
    Y-You hypocrite!
    What do you think you're doing?!
[06:40] ---
    This is too much!
[06:43] ---
    Day after day, I keep
    saying it's "just my luck,"
[06:46] ---
    but given all this,
    I'm plenty fortunate, you know?
[06:49] ---
    Yeah?
[06:51] ---
    W-What are...
    What are you even talking about?
[06:55] ---
    Just you wait, Kazakiri. Index is
    taking action right now to save you.
[07:02] ---
    She is, after all, your friend.
    She is going to come through.
[07:09] ---
    Just relax.
[07:10] ---
    In the meantime, I'll make sure...
[07:14] ---
    ...to keep things in check here!
[07:26] ---
    Don't you screw with me,
    you gimpy bastard!
[07:36] ---
    Wha--? Damn!
[07:50] ---
    You filthy little punk!
[08:01] ---
    Mess with me, will you?!
[08:06] ---
    Damn it, let go!
[08:10] ---
    Damn, that's right.
[08:12] ---
    If he can't use his ability,
[08:15] ---
    then that means my
    "countermeasure" doesn't work anymore.
[08:18] ---
    Damn. Just killing him isn't enough.
[08:22] ---
    I have to take the meaning
    of his death away from him.
[08:25] ---
    But how do I do that?
[08:33] ---
    Look at this!
[08:35] ---
    It's the original script of the
    virus that was input into her brain!
[08:39] ---
    Without this, there's not
    a chance of saving the girl!
[08:48] ---
    In your face! Kick yourself
    over that, you filthy punk!
[08:54] ---
    I've destroyed everything
    that is most important to you!
[08:59] ---
    There isn't anything
    you can make right anymore!
[09:04] ---
    And now, it's your turn.
[09:08] ---
    Start questioning whether
    or not there's a heaven,
[09:10] ---
    or whatever other drivel
    you want to now!
[09:16] ---
    Huh?
[09:18] ---
    There she is!
[09:21] ---
    It's her!
[09:26] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[09:50] ---
    I've got her.
[09:51] ---
    Vento avoided letting me grab
    onto her hammer with my right hand.
[09:56] ---
    Which means that
    it can cancel the thing out.
[10:00] ---
    So then...
[10:02] ---
    It looks like letting you get too
    close doesn't gain me anything.
[10:06] ---
    As long as I don't have to
    worry about anything around me,
[10:09] ---
    I can go all-out, too.
[10:11] ---
    Ha! You almost make it sound
    like that monster is helping you out!
[10:15] ---
    Not "sound like,"
    she really is helping me out!
[10:19] ---
    Dream on!
[10:24] ---
    This is the best you can do!
[10:26] ---
    Don't go selling the
    Right Seat of God short!
[10:39] ---
    Damn!
[10:49] ---
    Vento!
[10:53] ---
    What's the idiotic outcry for?
[10:57] ---
    You've thrown in with
    the side of science, right?
[11:00] ---
    With the appearance of that angel,
[11:03] ---
    a coercive spell pressure
    took effect over this whole region.
[11:07] ---
    It's causing what might be
    called a magic circulatory failure.
[11:11] ---
    Aleister sure came
    up with a repulsive trick!
[11:14] ---
    You dumbass!
[11:16] ---
    What possible reason could
    you have to fight through all this?!
[11:18] ---
    Don't feed me that hollow line!
[11:23] ---
    Yikes... I couldn't dodge that...
[11:32] ---
    Ha, now you need rescuing, don't you?
[11:36] ---
    Forgive me, but I'm pressed for time, too.
[11:38] ---
    I'll see to it that you
    get sent to the hospital!
[11:40] ---
    Shut up! I'll never again
    turn myself over to science!
[11:45] ---
    My younger brother
    was killed through science.
[11:48] ---
    What?
[11:50] ---
    It was because of a glitch
    at an amusement park attraction.
[11:55] ---
    They said that scientifically,
    there was no chance of any trouble.
[11:59] ---
    It had multiple layers of safety devices,
[12:01] ---
    and a fully-automated
    speed control program.
[12:04] ---
    They laid out all these
    reassuring words for us,
[12:07] ---
    but the truth is,
    they didn't do any good at all!
[12:10] ---
    You mean...
[12:12] ---
    The same was true when we
    were taken to the hospital afterward.
[12:16] ---
    They were unable to find
    enough blood for two transfusions,
[12:18] ---
    so the doctors said they
    could only save one of our lives.
[12:22] ---
    My brother said, "Please save my sister."
[12:27] ---
    And so, only I survived.
[12:31] ---
    Surprised?
[12:33] ---
    How can a member of the Right
    Seat of God fight over such a reason?
[12:37] ---
    But you see, I despise science
    so much that I will even use
[12:40] ---
    the Right Seat
    of God to bring it down.
[12:44] ---
    Science not only
    deprives us of our way,
[12:47] ---
    it even takes the Bible, which we
    take to be the means of salvation,
[12:50] ---
    and tries to smear it
    with blasphemy such as this.
[12:53] ---
    This is what the essence of science is!
    All it does is hamper us!
[12:59] ---
    That's why I hate and detest science!
[13:02] ---
    If science is as cold as that,
    then I'll smash it all to pieces,
[13:07] ---
    and fill the world
    with a warmer set of laws!
[13:11] ---
    That's my duty, for having
    squandered my brother's future!
[13:16] ---
    You've got to be kidding me.
[13:17] ---
    What?
[13:19] ---
    The hell science killed your brother.
[13:21] ---
    Of course those doctors never
    wanted your brother to die to begin with.
[13:26] ---
    Of course they wanted to save both of you!
[13:29] ---
    That goes for the attraction
    where you had the accident, too.
[13:32] ---
    It's not like they were
    running it to hurt people.
[13:35] ---
    They wanted to bring
    smiles to people's faces!
[13:37] ---
    Shut up!
[13:39] ---
    Your brother knew exactly the
    situation he had been placed in,
[13:43] ---
    but he still wanted
    you to survive, didn't he?
[13:47] ---
    Do you think someone
    like that would say
[13:50] ---
    that he wanted to
    take revenge against science?
[13:53] ---
    Someone who wanted more
    than anyone else for you to be happy?!
[13:57] ---
    I told you to shut up!
[14:02] ---
    You think the view of a
    little child on the verge of death
[14:04] ---
    carries any value?!
[14:06] ---
    If there wasn't enough blood,
    they should have given it to my brother!
[14:10] ---
    If they had to,
    they could have used my blood, too!
[14:13] ---
    Yes, it did have value.
[14:16] ---
    It's precisely because
    your brother made his decision
[14:19] ---
    that you are here, alive, now, right?
[14:21] ---
    So then it did have value!
[14:24] ---
    You're the one who has
    to understand the value it had
[14:27] ---
    more than anyone, aren't you?
[14:30] ---
    Don't be ridiculous!
    You think that's any comfort?!
[14:33] ---
    I consumed his whole future!
[14:35] ---
    Could you shout out the same thing
[14:37] ---
    to someone else in
    the exact same situation?!
[14:39] ---
    Because I couldn't!
[14:41] ---
    That's why I refute it!
    The life you're living is wrong!
[14:46] ---
    Your brother did the most amazing
    thing in the world back there.
[14:50] ---
    And you're here disgracing that?!
[14:52] ---
    Are you going to waste what
    he said by going to your grave,
[14:54] ---
    hating science the whole time?!
[15:00] ---
    Hmph, that's a laugh.
[15:03] ---
    I'm the one who chose this path.
[15:05] ---
    There's no way that you,
    who just heard the story right here,
[15:08] ---
    can twist what happened so easily!
[15:25] ---
    The crisis that both
    Academy City and Kazakiri are in...
[15:29] ---
    ...as well as the hatred for
    science that holds Vento captive...
[15:33] ---
    ...are illusions that I'm now
    going to smash all at once!
[15:37] ---
    Compared to what your brother did,
    this may not be any big deal,
[15:41] ---
    but it will save you just a little bit.
    Now go back and start over!
[15:46] ---
    You big dumbass!
[16:07] ---
    Those men from before.
    Do they have something to do with her?
[16:12] ---
    Huh? Heh...
[16:17] ---
    Hey!
[16:19] ---
    Hey, what do you want?
    I'm working here.
[16:26] ---
    Hey, just a minute!
[16:27] ---
    Don't go trying anything with her!
[16:31] ---
    This girl is at the
    core of everything, all right.
[16:33] ---
    Based on angel architecture,
    but made of formless telesma,
[16:37] ---
    all tucked away inside
    a human-shaped pouch.
[16:40] ---
    But I don't know how
    to move forward from here.
[16:46] ---
    Short-hair, a question!
[16:47] ---
    You call me Miss Mikoto!
[16:49] ---
    So, what's your question?
[16:53] ---
    What's an electronic network
    that utilizes brainwaves?
[16:57] ---
    Huh? Let's see...
    Electricity-generating espers
[17:01] ---
    can use identical brainwaves
    to construct an EM network, I guess.
[17:05] ---
    Then, what does it mean
    that there's an AIM diffusion field
[17:10] ---
    spread out across Academy City?
[17:12] ---
    It's the power field naturally
    generated by Academy City's espers.
[17:18] ---
    So she's saying that there's
    a special power that fills the city,
[17:21] ---
    and that it's this girl that administers it.
[17:24] ---
    By restricting her mind,
    they're just twisting that special power
[17:28] ---
    to create the "angel." In that case...
[17:31] ---
    All we have to do is
    untie the "knot" inside her head.
[17:35] ---
    But to turn that idea into
    a specific measure will take...
[17:42] ---
    ...a song.
[17:44] ---
    It conveys things
    better than simply words.
[17:45] ---
    You filthy punk! I'll show you!
[17:47] ---
    Using rhythm and tone,
    we can communicate on multiple levels.
[17:51] ---
    Hold on, you mean you can do
    something in such an analog way?
[17:54] ---
    Yes I can. A prayer will get through.
[17:58] ---
    Our prayer is going to save them all.
[18:01] ---
    This girl,
[18:03] ---
    and Hyoka, and Academy City.
[18:09] ---
    What's with you, you bastard?!
[18:11] ---
    Suddenly starting to move on me!
[18:43] ---
    Ki... hara...
[18:51] ---
    Kihara!!
[18:57] ---
    Ha, this should be good.
[18:59] ---
    Yeah, of course. If you
    were to go down as easily as that,
[19:03] ---
    it wouldn't be any fun.
[19:05] ---
    I'm glad you're being so
    service-minded, Accelerator.
[19:09] ---
    I've been pissed off at
    you this whole time, as well.
[19:13] ---
    I'm gonna flatten you good
    with my fists before killing you!
[19:22] ---
    That doesn't hurt me, kid!
[19:26] ---
    All right, I've found my groove.
[19:28] ---
    Ha-ha! I'm gonna make
    this a little more interesting,
[19:32] ---
    so show me a little more spunk!
[19:56] ---
    What's happening?
[19:57] ---
    What are those black
    wings growing out of your back?
[20:04] ---
    You bastard... Where
    are you getting this strength?
[20:08] ---
    You've acquired a new clearance...
[20:10] ---
    What value did you enter
    in for your Personal Reality?
[20:15] ---
    Hey, don't tell me that power...
    is of the angel variety!
[20:22] ---
    Do you realize...
[20:24] ---
    ...what's behind you, you monster?
[20:27] ---
    "Kill..."
[20:27] ---
    Kill...

[22:22] ---
    Kazakiri!
[22:26] ---
    If I touch Kazakiri now, it might
    obliterate the real Kazakiri, too.
[22:42] ---
    Who are you?
[22:43] ---
    Excuse me.
    I have business with the girl here.
[22:47] ---
    I asked you who you are!
[22:49] ---
    Acqua of the Rear.
[22:52] ---
    Like Vento, I am one
    of the Right Seat of God.
[22:57] ---
    Hmph, you need not worry.
    This is all for today; I'm heading back.
[23:02] ---
    Let Vento go!
[23:04] ---
    Hmph, if I were to let Vento go now,
[23:08] ---
    and she were captured
    by the side of science,
[23:10] ---
    she would undoubtedly be executed.
[23:14] ---
    You can have that.
[23:17] ---
    It is already destroyed by
    your right hand. It is just junk now.
[23:22] ---
    Vento can no longer use divine retribution.
[23:24] ---
    The people she neutralized
    should recover soon.
[23:28] ---
    Rest easy now,
[23:29] ---
    knowing that you have preserved
    the tranquility of Academy City.
[23:33] ---
    You think I'm just going to accept that?!
[23:36] ---
    I'm going to let you in on one thing.
[23:40] ---
    I am a saint. If you
    rush in blindly to fight me,
[23:44] ---
    you will shorten your life.
[23:46] ---
    Hey, wait!
[23:55] ---
    "Preview"
    
[23:56] ---
    One battle ends.
[23:57] ---
    But the footfalls of another,
    unprecedented battle
[24:00] ---
    can clearly be heard
    closing in--those of a war.
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Prewar."
[24:05] ---
    When science and magic
    cross paths, the story begins.
