[00:04] ---
    Bad news! The school store
    is all sold out of bread!
[00:07] ---
    And the cafeteria is packed!
[00:09] ---
    We are positively too late.
[00:11] ---
    I'm sorry. It's my fault for asking
    the teacher a dumb question.
[00:15] ---
    If we don't do something,
[00:17] ---
    we'll plunge into afternoon
    classes on empty stomachs.
[00:20] ---
    We can't! We're still growing
    boys and girls who must eat!
[00:23] ---
    We can't possibly wait until after school!
[00:26] ---
    What do we do?
[00:27] ---
    If there's nothing inside,
    we have to go outside.
[00:28] ---
    But...
[00:29] ---
    Do we dare?
[00:31] ---
    We have no choice.
[00:33] ---
    All right, make a break for it!
[00:34] ---
    Make a break for the convenience store!
[00:36] ---
    Yeah!
[00:38] ---
    Let's keep our numbers down.
[00:40] ---
    If all of us leave school at once,
[00:42] ---
    the teachers are sure to notice.
[00:45] ---
    This operation is a race against the clock.
[00:50] ---
    That's for sure.
[00:51] ---
    If they're sold out of lunches when
    we get there, it'll be all for nothing.
[00:57] ---
    A Team has failed to escape.
[00:59] ---
    B Team is eliminated. That leaves... come on!
[01:02] ---
    Damn it!
[01:03] ---
    We're the only ones left!
[01:08] ---
    Saigo!
[01:09] ---
    He's going out by himself
    for a fancy meal out?!
[01:11] ---
    Don't engage him, Kami!
[01:13] ---
    If he catches us now,
    it will mean everyone's lunches!
[01:16] ---
    Oh, no!
[01:19] ---
    Forgive me, I'm going on ahead.
[01:20] ---
    Huh? Hey!
[01:22] ---
    What are you doing, Tsuchimikado?!
[01:30] ---
    Kami, we should split up.
[01:33] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[01:39] ---
    Sure, he comes after me!
[01:48] ---
    Huh?!
[01:49] ---
    Oh no you don't!
[01:51] ---
    H-Hold on a second, Itsuwa!
[02:05] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index III"
[03:25] ---
    "#07 The Third Level"
[03:25] ---
    I really am sorry!
[03:27] ---
    I was sure it was a Roman Orthodox set-up.
[03:29] ---
    I-It's all right.
[03:31] ---
    Saigo is a really strong teacher,
[03:33] ---
    who they say once caught
    a giant boulder with just his hands.
[03:35] ---
    He'll be back on his feet in no time.
[03:38] ---
    B-But still, could I have
    been any more useless?
[03:42] ---
    Oh, no, you were absolutely useful.
[03:44] ---
    Hmm?
[03:46] ---
    So, Itsuwa, what brings you here?
[03:48] ---
    Huh? Oh...
[03:53] ---
    Wh-What is it?
[03:55] ---
    Um, do you remember the
    name Acqua of the Rear?
[03:59] ---
    Yeah, one of the Right Seat of God, right?
[04:03] ---
    I met him when I was tangling
    with that Vento lady.
[04:06] ---
    This Acqua has issued a challenge
[04:09] ---
    to both the English Puritan
    Church and Academy City.
[04:12] ---
    A challenge?
[04:14] ---
    It says that in the next few days,
    he was going to pulveri--
[04:16] ---
    I mean, stage an attack on Kamijo Toma.
[04:18] ---
    Huh? Why me?
[04:20] ---
    Why wouldn't he?!
[04:22] ---
    It's because you keep thwarting
[04:24] ---
    the Roman Orthodox Church's
    darkest schemes, over and over again!
[04:28] ---
    You're making it sound bigger than it is.
    I'm just a high-school kid.
[04:34] ---
    On the other hand,
[04:35] ---
    there was the front, the
    left, and now the rear?
[04:38] ---
    Everything is just non-stop, isn't it?
[04:40] ---
    Then again, if they're targeting me,
    maybe they have too much free time.
[04:45] ---
    According to the report,
    Acqua of the Rear also has saintly powers.
[04:50] ---
    Saintly?
[04:52] ---
    But please don't worry.
[04:54] ---
    Even if Acqua does try to attack,
    we will be sure to protect you.
[04:58] ---
    So, Itsuwa, what are you doing here?
[05:01] ---
    Isn't it obvious? I'm here as your bodyguard.
    One who lives with you!
[05:06] ---
    Damn it, Itsuwa.
[05:07] ---
    She keeps going on about nothing but business
[05:09] ---
    and doesn't go on the attack at all.
[05:11] ---
    Quite right. It looks like she's not
    even aware of the weapons she's packing.
[05:16] ---
    What do you mean, weapons?
[05:18] ---
    Why, I'm referring to...
[05:20] ---
    ...the "Itsuwa Undercover
    Bra Busters Theory"!
[05:24] ---
    Is there any basis to that
    hypothesis, Your Holiness?
[05:28] ---
    Don't you dare talk out of turn, like
    with that horse racing scratch sheet before.
[05:34] ---
    According to the research findings obtained
[05:35] ---
    from the "Itsuwa Massage
    Operation" that I conducted,
[05:39] ---
    she had a shoulder stiffness index of 40.
[05:42] ---
    However, factoring in
    Itsuwa's clothing and gear,
[05:44] ---
    and calculating the load on her shoulders,
[05:47] ---
    a shoulder stiffness index of more
    than 37 at the most makes no sense.
[05:51] ---
    Th-Then that means...
[05:53] ---
    Yes, that much error proves my
    "Itsuwa Undercover Bra Buster Theory."
[05:58] ---
    Yeah...?
[06:02] ---
    But to explore this theory to the fullest,
[06:05] ---
    I will need a new tactic.
[06:08] ---
    But Itsuwa is an inveterate slow-starter.
[06:11] ---
    Which is why I have a secret plan in place.
[06:15] ---
    I call it "Operation Field
    Sharpshooter Free Kick"!
[06:25] ---
    I can't believe he has amnesia.
[06:28] ---
    For how long, now?
[06:36] ---
    What is this?
[06:43] ---
    --Oh yeah!
    --Nicely executed!
[06:44] ---
    Now, see here...
[06:46] ---
    I already have enough on my mind right now,
[06:50] ---
    so don't go adding anything
    else crazy on top of it!
[06:55] ---
    Huh? They're gone?
[06:57] ---
    A-Are you all right?
[07:01] ---
    Yeah, more or less...
[07:04] ---
    O-Oh, you...
[07:06] ---
    Ah, Misaka...
[07:08] ---
    How long were you going to indulge
    yourself in that mass of womanhood?!
[07:12] ---
    She's hostile!
[07:13] ---
    No, stop! In fact, let's get out of here!
[07:15] ---
    Hey! Hold it right there!
[07:20] ---
    Toma...
[07:22] ---
    ...why is Itsuwa from
    the Amakusa next to you?
[07:26] ---
    O-Oh, well, you see...
[07:28] ---
    What's the best way to explain this?
[07:30] ---
    The thing of it is,
[07:31] ---
    the Right Seat of God is after--
[07:34] ---
    Look, I seem to be Acqua's target, right?
[07:37] ---
    Could you not say anything
    about that to Index for me?
[07:40] ---
    Itsuwa?
[07:41] ---
    I-I heard you! L-L-Loud and clear!
[07:44] ---
    Oh, sorry. Was that uncomfortable?
[07:47] ---
    N-No...
[07:49] ---
    It's fine.
[07:59] ---
    What is going on here, exactly?
[08:01] ---
    Is there some kind of incredible power
[08:03] ---
    trying to raise Index's anger
    to the critical point?
[08:07] ---
    U-Um, Miss Index?
[08:11] ---
    I'm not sure what's happening,
[08:14] ---
    but would you please bite me
    before you completely explode?
[08:18] ---
    If you bleed off some of
    your anger power little by little,
[08:21] ---
    I believe I can get through it
    without you biting my skull to bits.
[08:24] ---
    Oh, I know! I have just
    the thing for your kitty cat.
[08:29] ---
    "Namaribushi bonito"
[08:30] ---
    Premium-grade bonito!
[08:37] ---
    Hmm? Did you go shopping? When was that?
[08:40] ---
    Yes, I may be here as your bodyguard,
[08:43] ---
    but I'd feel self-conscious
    being a freeloader.
[08:46] ---
    I'll do anything I can to help out.
[08:50] ---
    Wh-What's wrong, Toma?
    Why has the airflow suddenly shifted?
[08:55] ---
    Why don't you ask yourself that question?
[08:57] ---
    Who is it that has left
    Mr. Kamijo to do everything,
[09:00] ---
    and has not ever pitched in
    to do anything around here?
[09:04] ---
    M-Mm-hmm, I'm sorry about that, and...
[09:07] ---
    Ah! Saying that doesn't
    change the situation one bit--
[09:09] ---
    The pots and frypans are here,
    and the seasonings are here.
[09:14] ---
    Right.
[09:15] ---
    I don't know what has her all fired up,
[09:17] ---
    but whatever the case,
    all I can say is thank you, Itsuwa!
[09:21] ---
    Come to think of it, I also got away
    without Index chasing and biting me!
[09:25] ---
    This is a banner day--
[09:35] ---
    The sight of a girl doing the cooking...
[09:37] ---
    Hmm? Toma, why do you have the look
    of a lamb who just witnessed a miracle?
[09:47] ---
    Oh, no, you mustn't!
[09:49] ---
    The chikuwa isn't ready yet!
[09:51] ---
    I hear what you're saying,
    but I can't stop my mouth from eating!
[09:57] ---
    Don't undermine... every man's dream!
[10:05] ---
    Look! That is the proper way
    to crash at someone's place.
[10:08] ---
    Index, why are you always in charge
    of sleeping, eating, and watching TV?
[10:14] ---
    Hmph! Ah, just a second!
[10:16] ---
    It's time for the "Magical Powered
    Kanamin Integral" rerun to start!
[10:22] ---
    You go and clean the bathroom, right now!
[10:27] ---
    Okay.
[10:36] ---
    I smell something. I smell something!
[10:39] ---
    Hey, you! I don't need any more weirdos!
[10:42] ---
    That miso soup of yours...!
[10:45] ---
    You're using dried scallop powder
    as the secret ingredient, aren't you?
[10:49] ---
    H-How did you know that?! Not even
    my mother knows my secret ingredient!
[10:55] ---
    Hmm, now to give it a try.
[10:59] ---
    What flavor!
[11:00] ---
    I can't stay over here!
[11:03] ---
    H-Huh? Why are you
    throwing out my white cream stew?
[11:06] ---
    I'm about to make us some
    honest-to-goodness miso soup!
[11:11] ---
    Eh? But there was nothing wrong that stew.
[11:14] ---
    Huh? Haven't I heard
    that voice somewhere before?
[11:17] ---
    O-Oh, yeah...
[11:18] ---
    Hey, Itsuwa, you don't have
    to pay any mind to those nutjobs.
[11:22] ---
    Oh...
[11:26] ---
    Tell me something--
[11:27] ---
    how did you break the tub
    with just a sponge and cleanser?
[11:31] ---
    I just scrubbed it hard,
    like you told me to, Toma.
[11:34] ---
    No you didn't.
[11:36] ---
    "Pipe Clean"
[11:36] ---
    You poured all of that concentrated
    cleanser into the hot water inlet!
[11:40] ---
    Huh? Doesn't it clean stuff
    if you put the cleanser in it?
[11:44] ---
    Now it's scorched the inside of the
    hot water heater, and almost caused a fire!
[11:49] ---
    E-Excuse me, but for a nice change of pace,
[11:53] ---
    couldn't we go use a bathhouse outside?
[11:56] ---
    Outside?
[12:10] ---
    Sorry to have to make you pay
    the rental fee for the bike.
[12:13] ---
    Not at all. I have plenty of funds to use.
[12:17] ---
    Toma,
[12:18] ---
    I kind of have a sense that
    this arrangement was deliberate.
[12:22] ---
    Huh? That's not true at all.
[12:24] ---
    Mr. Kamijo just let you have
    that seat in the spirit of "Ladies first."
[12:33] ---
    Academy City at night is pretty empty, huh?
[12:36] ---
    The road conditions are just right, too,
[12:38] ---
    so I might inadvertently pour
    on some extra speed.
[12:40] ---
    Whoa, you dummy, Itsuwa!
    You really are pouring on extra speed!
[12:44] ---
    Ah! Toma, look!
[12:47] ---
    There's a huge jungle gym!
[12:49] ---
    The 22nd School District
    is developed out underground,
[12:53] ---
    so the power stations
    are all concentrated up on top.
[12:56] ---
    And besides that, the underground city
    seems to use a lot of electricity,
[12:59] ---
    so there are power generating provisions
    laid out all over the district.
[13:08] ---
    Come to think of it,
    what level is this spa resort on?
[13:12] ---
    Let's see... It's supposed
    to be on the third level.
[13:16] ---
    Toma, what's a kaisou? Is that seaweed?
    
[13:20] ---
    No, not that kind. The "level" kind.
[13:23] ---
    The 22nd School District is
    divided into ten underground levels.
[13:27] ---
    Ho...
[13:29] ---
    The third level is up ahead.
[13:39] ---
    The roof of the third level is
    made up of one big screen.
[13:43] ---
    It's showing the night sky in real time.
[13:46] ---
    Is this place really underground?
[13:49] ---
    It looks like there's
    a river, and even a forest.
[13:53] ---
    Academy City really is awesome, huh?
[13:56] ---
    I can see it now.
[13:58] ---
    That's it.
[14:02] ---
    Ah, man, this is aggravating.
[14:05] ---
    "Collect stamps to get
    your after-bath Gekota strap!"
[14:05] ---
    Here I was worried about him,
    but what does that idiot do?
[14:08] ---
    One adult.
[14:12] ---
    Hold on, how many times are
    they going to make me come here?
[14:20] ---
    I have to say, I'm not collecting
    a whole lot of stamps.
[14:25] ---
    If I bring Kuroko, that
    would get me two stamps.
[14:28] ---
    Sissy!!
[14:32] ---
    No, no, no, no, no! On second thought,
    I'll collect them alone.
[14:44] ---
    H-Huh?! What are you doing here?!
[14:47] ---
    Shh! Be quiet when in the baths.
[14:52] ---
    You don't need your towel in the water.
[14:54] ---
    Right...
[15:02] ---
    Ah! You! You're the woman that
    idiot clung to because of the soccer ball!
[15:07] ---
    N-No, I-I-I...
[15:12] ---
    Th-That was an accident, you see,
[15:15] ---
    and it was just lucky that my breasts
    happened to be there. It wasn't...
[15:20] ---
    --What do you mean,
    it was an accident,
[15:21] ---
    --I wonder if those girls know
    about that idiot's amnesia.
    --What do you mean, it was an accident,
[15:22] ---
    --I wonder if those girls know
    about that idiot's amnesia.
    --and it was lucky that your breasts happened to be there?!
[15:25] ---
    --Did Toma do something to you?!
[15:25] ---
    --For that matter, I'm a complete outsider, right?
    --Did Toma do something to you?!
[15:26] ---
    --For that matter, I'm a complete outsider, right?
    --N-N-No, he...
[15:28] ---
    --For that matter, I'm a complete outsider, right?
    --Toma did do something, huh?!
[15:30] ---
    --Ah, why am I so upset about
    what happens to that idiot, for Pete's sake?!
    --Were you scared? Are you all right?
[15:31] ---
    --Ah, why am I so upset about
    what happens to that idiot, for Pete's sake?!
    --N-No, it was just a matter of bad timing...
[15:33] ---
    --Ah, why am I so upset about
    what happens to that idiot, for Pete's sake?!
    --He's always going around grabbing onto girls!
[15:37] ---
    --N-No, we actually get along quite well!
[15:37] ---
    --Could anything be more of a nuisance?
    --N-No, we actually get along quite well!
[15:40] ---
    Huh? Short-hair is sinking under.
[15:43] ---
    We have to save her!
[15:44] ---
    "Please hold up your guest key"
[15:57] ---
    Too hot. Maybe I should
    have gone with iced coffee.
[16:01] ---
    Are you out here for the evening breeze?
[16:04] ---
    I completely forgot that we're underground.
[16:07] ---
    In that case, care to take a little stroll?
[16:09] ---
    Sure. Oh, but what about Index?
[16:12] ---
    She was dashing around
    the all-you-can-eat food stall corner.
[16:16] ---
    She was? Well, she won't
    be getting lost, then.
[16:25] ---
    This is her big chance.
[16:26] ---
    There's quite a nice mood going on.
[16:29] ---
    What do you think, Your Holiness?
[16:32] ---
    Huh? About the evening date operation?
[16:36] ---
    About Acqua of the Rear.
[16:39] ---
    We've received reports about
    him from Academy City, but...
[16:43] ---
    It really is hard to believe, huh?
[16:46] ---
    It would be odd for all three factions
[16:49] ---
    to each be scrambling over one boy,
    Kamijo Toma, in any case.
[16:52] ---
    I get the feeling there's still some
    hidden information that we're unaware of.
[16:57] ---
    In other words, if we're seriously
    going to protect Kamijo Toma...
[17:01] ---
    Yeah, we might need to
    keep investigating, including them.
[17:07] ---
    The streets have been cleared.
[17:09] ---
    How could I let this happen? We've been had.
[17:18] ---
    I was wondering, where are
    the rest of the Amakusa folks?
[17:21] ---
    Well, let's see. Even now,
    I think they're watching over us from a distance.
[17:27] ---
    Though if the priestess could be here,
    she'd be a one-person army.
[17:32] ---
    Is Kanzaki really that incredible?
[17:35] ---
    Y-Yes, she is! She's one of not
    even 20 saints in the whole world!
[17:39] ---
    The priestess can resolve any
    trouble that arises, just like that!
[17:43] ---
    Yeah? You don't say.
[17:45] ---
    Well, she was capable of fighting
    that archangel, the Power of God.
[17:49] ---
    F-Fighting an archangel?!
[17:58] ---
    I know that I'm not supposed
    to let my guard down, but...
[18:04] ---
    Itsuwa? Is something the matter?
[18:06] ---
    N-No! It's nothing, it's nothing!
[18:09] ---
    I-I was just thinking, there aren't
    many other people around, are there?
[18:13] ---
    It's such a pretty view, too.
[18:15] ---
    Yeah, that's true. This is what
    nighttime in Academy City is like.
[18:19] ---
    Huh? Now that I think about it,
    I haven't seen any cars or people in a while...
[18:24] ---
    --Itsuwa!
    --Huh?
[18:26] ---
    I gave you a warning.
[18:29] ---
    You had a number of options before you.
[18:33] ---
    Is this the choice you determined
    was worthy to commit your life to?
[18:41] ---
    That's...
[18:43] ---
    Tatemiya's...
[18:45] ---
    I'll come right to it.
[18:47] ---
    Did you not have any better alternatives?
[18:51] ---
    Acqua!
[18:56] ---
    Itsuwa!
[18:57] ---
    I've come to eliminate the main cause
[18:59] ---
    of the disturbance that
    is disrupting our world.
[19:02] ---
    Is now the time for you to
    be concerned about others?
[19:14] ---
    Do you think you can challenge
    me all alone and defeat me,
[19:19] ---
    when the entire organization
    combined could not?
[19:23] ---
    I still have my pride!
[19:29] ---
    Itsuwa!
[19:30] ---
    Your right arm.
[19:32] ---
    Give it to me, and I will
    let you leave with your life.
[19:37] ---
    Screw that...!
[19:39] ---
    I see. In that case...
[19:42] ---
    I will give you a little more insight
[19:44] ---
    into the reality of things.
[20:00] ---
    Mr. Kamijo!
[20:06] ---
    Please stay with me!
[20:08] ---
    I'll heal you with
    my restoration magic right away!
[20:24] ---
    It didn't work.
[20:37] ---
    Are you done yet?
[20:42] ---
    Hmph, all right,
    I'll just crush you both together.
[20:50] ---
    Thanks, Itsuwa...
[20:52] ---
    Because of your restoration magic...
[20:56] ---
    I feel a little better...
[20:59] ---
    Wait!
[21:02] ---
    I admire your courage.
[21:08] ---
    I'll wait one day.
[21:10] ---
    If you cut off your own arm
    and give it to us within that time,
[21:16] ---
    I will let you go with your life.
[21:32] ---
    I'll wait one day.

    "Preview"
[23:26] ---
    Saintly power shakes the earth's surface,
    thundering to the lower levels.
[23:29] ---
    After everything is plucked
    apart and strength is used up,
[23:31] ---
    what sort of strike does Itsuwa make?
[23:34] ---
    Next time, "Saint Breakout.â
[23:36] ---
    When science and magic cross paths,
    the story begins.
