I, Kamijo Toma, met a\ndown-on-her-luck priestess--\n
[00:34] ---
parenthesis, self-proclaimed\nmagician, close parenthesis.\n
[00:38] ---
I headed off to a dangerous place,\n
[00:40] ---
together with a sorcerer named Stiyl,\nto rescue the priestess being held captive,\n
[00:43] ---
and there I saw...\n
[00:46] ---
This is just a dead body.\n

"#08 Ars Magna (Golden Transmutation)"\n
[02:26] ---
A dead body?\n
[02:27] ---
Probably one of the Order of\nthe 13 Roman Orthodox Knights.\n
[02:31] ---
Judging by this,\nit looks like they were wiped out.\n
[02:34] ---
Why?\n
[02:35] ---
This is a battlefield.\nIt shouldn't be the least bit surprising\n
[02:38] ---
to have a body or two lying around.\n
[02:41] ---
Why isn't anyone making a scene?\n
[02:44] ---
Megumi! Had a long day?\n
[02:48] ---
What just happened?\n
[02:51] ---
That was all heads and tails.\n
[02:53] ---
--Huh?\n
[02:53] ---
--These students, who live on the heads side of the coin...\n--Huh?\n
[02:58] ---
...are unable to see us foreign enemies,\nwho live on the tails side.\n
[03:03] ---
And we are also unable to\ninterfere with them in any way.\n
[03:10] ---
Don’t bother.\n
[03:11] ---
Unless you eliminate the core of this sorcery,\n
[03:13] ---
you will be unable to bring down this barrier.\n
[03:16] ---
I'll bet the core itself is\nsomewhere outside the barrier.\n
[03:25] ---
It looks like we've got\nyet another reason to fight.\n
[03:37] ---
Hey, couldn't we have taken the elevator?\n
[03:40] ---
We, on the tails side of the coin,\n
[03:42] ---
cannot press the button on the heads side.\n
[03:45] ---
Hmm... Well, how about the phones, then?\n
[03:49] ---
Huh?\n
[03:50] ---
Oh, nothing. I was just wondering\nif a call from the tails side\n
[03:52] ---
would get through to the heads side.\n
[03:55] ---
Hmph, go ahead and try it.\n
[03:58] ---
Mm-hmm, I will.\n
[04:07] ---
Eep! This is, um, Index Libror--\nI mean, Kamijo residence. Um. yes?\n
[04:13] ---
Is this the first time\nyou've ever answered a phone?\n
[04:19] ---
Huh? That voice is Toma's!\n
[04:21] ---
Toma, what happened that you\nhad to use something so overdramatic,\n
[04:25] ---
so ostentatiously bothersome\nand bad for the heart as the telephone?\n
[04:29] ---
Oh, no reason. \n
[04:30] ---
Ah, there were two servings of\nlasagna in the refrigerator.\n
[04:34] ---
Was one of them yours?\n
[04:35] ---
You ate them?!\n
[04:36] ---
Oh, and there was some\npudding in the refrigerator, too.\n
[04:40] ---
What? Don't tell me you ate that, too?!\n
[04:43] ---
You ate it, huh? You ate it, didn't you?!\n
[04:46] ---
It's okay.\n
[04:48] ---
Anyhow, as long as my call\ngot through, never mind. Gotta go.\n
[04:53] ---
Oh, yeah. I've heard that for\nevery minute you talk on the phone,\n
[04:56] ---
your lifespan decreases by one day.\n
[05:04] ---
W-What?\n
[05:06] ---
Nothing. I was just thinking that\nyou're lacking a sense of tension.\n
[05:10] ---
This is a battlefield, and here\nyou are, chatting it up with a girl.\n
[05:15] ---
If that ego ends up being\nthe ruin of you, it's not like I mind.\n
[05:19] ---
Knock yourself out, for all I care.\n
[05:21] ---
But I won't have you dragging me down with you.\n
[05:25] ---
You're jealous?\n
[05:29] ---
Don't be mistaken. It's not like\nI see her as an object of affection.\n
[05:34] ---
You yourself know, right?\n
[05:37] ---
Up to now, her body\nwas such that she couldn't live\n
[05:40] ---
unless all of her memories\nwere erased on an annual basis.\n
[05:44] ---
There have been a number of\npeople in the past who were in your place.\n
[05:49] ---
Fathers, brothers, good friends, teachers...\n
[05:53] ---
they all tried to be various things to her.\n
[05:57] ---
Once, I failed where you succeeded.\n
[06:02] ---
That's all. \n
[06:05] ---
That's the only difference there is between us.\n
[06:10] ---
That's true. I'm not the\none who saved Index anymore.\n
[06:15] ---
The one Index wants...\n
[06:19] ---
...is me, before I lost my memories.\n
[06:23] ---
--Be careful.\n
[06:24] ---
--Mm-hmm.\n--Be careful.\n
[06:27] ---
No way, really?\n
[06:30] ---
That's just awful.\n
[06:31] ---
Yeah, really.\n
[06:39] ---
Hmm... This is my first\ntime seeing a scientific religion,\n
[06:43] ---
but it seems pretty normal, huh?\n
[06:44] ---
--So, wanna stop there on the way home?\n
[06:45] ---
--I was sure there would be photos of the founder on display.\n--So, wanna stop there on the way home?\n
[06:50] ---
The danger level does indeed seem low.\n
[06:56] ---
This can't be good.\n
[07:00] ---
Don't lose your grip.\nThere's no way for those people\n
[07:03] ---
on the heads side of the coin\nto see those of us on the tails side.\n
[07:05] ---
The shining light of the seraph's wings.\n
[07:08] ---
The shining light is the\nwhiteness that exposes guilt.\n
[07:12] ---
The whiteness is testament to purification;\n
[07:14] ---
the testament is the outcome of action;\n
[07:16] ---
outcome is the future; the future is time;\n
[07:19] ---
--time is uniformity; uniformity\nis all; all is created by the past;\n
[07:20] ---
--An automatic alarm?\n--time is uniformity; uniformity is all; all is created by the past;\n
[07:22] ---
--Huh?\n--time is uniformity; uniformity is all; all is created by the past;\n
[07:23] ---
--The students who should be on the heads side of the coin\n--time is uniformity; uniformity is all; all is created by the past;\n
[07:25] ---
--the past is the cause; the cause is one;\n
[07:26] ---
--are being brought over to the tails side.\n--the past is the cause; the cause is one;\n
[07:28] ---
one is guilt; guilt is people; \n
[07:31] ---
people fear guilt, while fearing is sin.\n
[07:34] ---
Sin is within the self.\n
[07:37] ---
If there is any despicable thing within oneself,\n
[07:41] ---
the guilt shall be exposed\nby the seraph's wings,\n
[07:44] ---
and expelled from within.\n
[07:50] ---
Okay then, Imagine Breaker...\n
[07:52] ---
...you're on!\n
[07:54] ---
H-Hey!\n
[07:56] ---
For the love of...\n
[08:05] ---
Hey, stop running away!\n
[08:07] ---
Your right hand protected you\nfrom even a blast of Dragon Breath!\n
[08:10] ---
And yet, you turn your unprotected\nback to them! What's wrong with you?!\n
[08:13] ---
You're a fine one to talk,\nusing me as a shield like this!\n
[08:16] ---
There's a hopeless number of them!\n
[08:17] ---
How can I counter all of\nthat with just my right hand?!\n
[08:22] ---
Yeah, but...\n
[08:23] ---
for him to create a\nGregorian Choir, albeit a replica, is still...\n
[08:26] ---
What was that about a\nGregorian something-or-other?\n
[08:30] ---
Essentially,\n
[08:31] ---
it's a grand spell, formed by the prayer voices\n
[08:34] ---
of 3,333 monks, assembled in a holy shrine.\n
[08:37] ---
Ha! There's no way doing something\nlike that can beat anything, can it?\n
[08:40] ---
Yes, but it doesn't work if the\nmany people in the Gregorian Choir\n
[08:44] ---
cannot all be controlled at the same time.\n
[08:46] ---
If one can destroy the key to their synchronicity...\n
[08:57] ---
There is one thing\nI've got up my sleeve, though.\n
[09:00] ---
If you've got it, then use it, already!\n
[09:02] ---
You're sure?\n
[09:06] ---
What the hell are you doing?!\n
[09:08] ---
Bad luck, scarecrow!\n
[09:19] ---
Flame punishes guilt.\nPurgatory governs flame.\n
[09:24] ---
Purgatory is created to burn sinners.\n
[09:27] ---
The one form of violence acknowledged by God.\n
[09:31] ---
Violence is the affirmation of death.\n
[09:34] ---
Affirmation is recognition.\n
[09:36] ---
Stop!\n
[09:37] ---
--You have to know that your body is in danger!\n--Recognition is inside oneself.\n
[09:41] ---
The inner aspect of the self\n
[09:42] ---
and the outer aspect\nof the world are joined--\n
[10:02] ---
W-What the...?\n
[10:25] ---
What in the world...?\n
[10:54] ---
I have to hand it to him.\n
[10:56] ---
That alchemist is warped.\nYou're supposed to carve your own way out,\n
[11:00] ---
not have others do it for you.\n
[11:03] ---
Naturally...\n
[11:05] ---
I figured that by using a Gregorian replica,\n
[11:07] ---
I could lure you to the core,\nregardless of where you were hiding.\n
[11:12] ---
Obviously,\n
[11:14] ---
there were supposed\nto be two of you intruders.\n
[11:16] ---
Clearly, your familiar spirit \n
[11:18] ---
has been swallowed up by the Gregorian replica.\n
[11:20] ---
Hmph, unfortunately for you,\nhe's tougher than you can imagine.\n
[11:25] ---
So then, what was\nyour intent in luring me here,\n
[11:30] ---
Alchemist Aureolus Izzard?\n
[11:36] ---
A little first aid, and she'll be fine.\n
[11:39] ---
But...\n
[11:40] ---
Her skin has just been peeled,\nand her capillaries injured.\n
[11:44] ---
There'd be more to it\nif her arteries had been cut.\n
[11:47] ---
You're not even a doctor.\n
[11:50] ---
When it comes to the flow of blood,\nI know more than others.\n
[11:53] ---
Give me a hand.\n
[12:02] ---
Oh, whoa!\n
[12:03] ---
Do not lose your head.\n
[12:05] ---
It is disrespectful to the injured.\n
[12:11] ---
Say, Sphinx, where could Toma have gone?\n
[12:15] ---
There was some pudding in the refrigerator, too.\n
[12:18] ---
What? Don't tell me... \n
[12:21] ---
...you ate that, too?!\nYou ate it, huh? You ate it, didn't you?!\n
[12:25] ---
It's okay.\n
[12:27] ---
Something's wrong.\n
[12:28] ---
Toma wouldn't shrug off me\neating his pudding without his permission\n
[12:31] ---
with just an "It's okay."\n
[12:46] ---
Rune seals?!\n
[12:51] ---
All done, for now.\n
[12:54] ---
Your skills are incredible, you know?\n
[12:56] ---
You're not an unlicensed\ndoctor or anything, are you?\n
[12:59] ---
I'm no doctor.\n
[13:01] ---
Huh? Then...\n
[13:03] ---
I am a magician.\n
[13:06] ---
Um, how were you being a magician?\n
[13:10] ---
I do have something I can show you.\n
[13:15] ---
Here.\n
[13:17] ---
My magic wand.\n
[13:19] ---
Hey, that's a police baton, isn't it?!\n
[13:22] ---
--The latest model.\n
[13:22] ---
--Stop screwing around!\n--The latest model.\n
[13:25] ---
We need to call an ambulance.\n
[13:27] ---
You should do that.\n
[13:29] ---
Don't talk about it like you're not involved.\n
[13:31] ---
You're leaving too, after all.\n
[13:36] ---
I mean, don't just stay cooped\nup in this place, let's go outside.\n
[13:41] ---
I have an objective, as well.\nIt's not to get out of this place;\n
[13:46] ---
it's an objective that I cannot\nachieve unless I am here.\n
[13:48] ---
No, it's more correct to say\nthat it's a goal that I cannot reach\n
[13:52] ---
without there being the alchemist.\n
[13:55] ---
But if they were your friend,\nthey wouldn't keep you trapped here, right?\n
[13:59] ---
That was before they were taken over by Aureolus.\n
[14:03] ---
I only stay inside because\nI don't feel the need to go out.\n
[14:08] ---
If I go out too casually, I will end up attracting them.
[14:11] ---
So then, you're telling me\nyou're going to stay in here forever,\n
[14:15] ---
because you don't want\nthe vampires to detect you?\n
[14:19] ---
Do you know what kind\nof creatures vampires are?\n
[14:24] ---
No different.\n
[14:26] ---
They're no different from us.\n
[14:29] ---
They're people who can laugh, and act for others.\n
[14:34] ---
My blood has a sweet aroma,\nwhich attracts such people.\n
[14:39] ---
Attracts them, gathers them,\nand kills them... for no reason.\n
[14:45] ---
It kills them all, without exception, ever.\n
[14:51] ---
Academy City is a place\nwhere powers are dealt with,\n
[14:54] ---
so I thought that they\nwould understand my secret.\n
[14:56] ---
And once they understood it,\nthere might be a way to remove it.\n
[15:02] ---
But there wasn't anything like that here.\n
[15:05] ---
I don't want to kill anymore. \n
[15:07] ---
I've decided that I would\nrather kill myself than anyone else.\n
[15:13] ---
Tell me one thing...\n
[15:16] ---
If you don't want to\ndraw any vampires to you,\n
[15:18] ---
why did you go out and comfort-binge?\n
[15:21] ---
Simple. \n
[15:22] ---
The reason why Aureolus needs\nme is because he wants the vampires.\n
[15:28] ---
I cannot attract\nvampires if I stay inside the barrier.\n
[15:33] ---
But doesn't that work completely\ncounter to your objective?\n
[15:37] ---
Aureolus promised me that\nhe would not harm the vampires.\n
[15:42] ---
Aureolus said that there\nwas someone he wanted to help,\n
[15:45] ---
and that he needed the vampires' power.\n
[15:48] ---
That's why I made a promise,\n
[15:50] ---
that I would use my\npower to help, rather than to kill.\n
[15:56] ---
That's not going to work.\n
[15:58] ---
If he's the kind of person you say he is,\n
[16:02] ---
then this is a mistake that we can’t allow to go on.\n
[16:06] ---
If you keep letting this continue,\n
[16:08] ---
there really will be no turning back.\n
[16:13] ---
Inevitably, how will\nthere be no turning back for me?\n
[16:18] ---
He's been...\n
[16:21] ---
Boldly may I say,\nit is no matter. I will be right there.\n
[16:27] ---
Naturally, some doubts may arise,\n
[16:29] ---
but I'm under no obligation to respond.\n
[16:32] ---
Damn you!\n
[16:34] ---
You will not come any closer.\n
[16:40] ---
Why, you...!\n
[16:43] ---
H-How...?\n
[16:45] ---
Sadly, you are a trivial young man.\nAway with you!\n
[16:49] ---
Wait!\n
[16:51] ---
Y-You idiot!\n
[16:55] ---
Deep Blood has power enough to\nkill vampires. Which means...\n
[17:00] ---
Ultimately, right at the very end,\nyou clung to, relied upon,\n
[17:03] ---
and placed your hopes on your Deep Blood.\n
[17:06] ---
How then are you any different from me?\n
[17:10] ---
That is not true.\n
[17:11] ---
This person did not know what Deep Blood means.\n
[17:14] ---
He came here to help a\nstranger who he just barely met today.\n
[17:18] ---
Aureolus Izzard, what is your objective?\n
[17:23] ---
Is your objective to kill this\nregular person to satisfy yourself?\n
[17:28] ---
If such a worthless pursuit\nis your goal, then I'm backing out.\n
[17:33] ---
I have the option of biting my\ntongue and ending my own life.\n
[17:39] ---
Inescapably, I cannot afford\nto spend any more time here.\n
[17:45] ---
Young man, do not worry. I will not kill you.\n
[17:53] ---
You will forget everything that happened here.\n
[18:03] ---
This is it.\n
[18:04] ---
The magical power being sent\nto the runes over at Toma's place\n
[18:07] ---
ends abruptly right here.\n
[18:13] ---
Where am I?\n
[18:14] ---
If you're here with me,\nthen this is no doubt Japan, right?\n
[18:19] ---
It feels like we've forgotten\nsomething important. Don’t you agree?\n
[18:27] ---
Well, it's probably nothing so\nimportant that we need to remember it.\n
[18:33] ---
You think so?\n
[18:36] ---
You will forget everything.\n
[18:51] ---
Let me show you a ritual\nthat will dispel that doubt of yours.\n
[18:56] ---
Eastern rituals are Kanzaki's specialty. I'll ask her.\n
[19:00] ---
Just close your eyes\nand stick out your tongue.\n
[19:03] ---
Go "bleeh."\n
[19:08] ---
This is for using me as a decoy\nso you could get away!\n
[19:25] ---
There's a barrier in place here \n
[19:26] ---
to keep enemies who enter from getting away.\n
[19:29] ---
Hmm, long time no see.\n
[19:32] ---
Who are you?\n
[19:33] ---
You don't remember?\nInevitably, I doubt you have any memory\n
[19:37] ---
of the name Aureolus Izzard.\n
[19:39] ---
No, this is something\nI must count as good fortune.\n
[19:43] ---
Sleep.\n
[19:52] ---
Hey, those guys were in the entrance.\n
[19:55] ---
The survivors of the Thirteen Knights.\n
[19:58] ---
Commencing the attack!\n
[20:02] ---
A Gregorian Choir.\n
[20:04] ---
Huh?\n
[20:05] ---
An honest-to-goodness Gregorian Choir.\n
[20:09] ---
But you said it took a lot of people\nto make a Gregorian whatever.\n
[20:15] ---
Right now, at the Vatican basilica,\n
[20:17] ---
there are probably 3,333\ncongregants, offering up prayers.\n
[20:22] ---
Huh?\n
[20:24] ---
Extracting from the Book of\nRevelation, Chapter 8, Verse 7, \n
[20:28] ---
we hereby reproduce the\nsound of the trump of destruction,\n
[20:31] ---
held by the first angel!\n
[20:36] ---
What do they think they're doing?!\n
[20:38] ---
A holy hex bombardment.\n
[20:40] ---
Bombardment?!\n
[20:41] ---
Himegami is in there,\nalong with all those innocent students!\n
[21:02] ---
It's coming down!\n
[21:13] ---
It's rewinding?\n
[21:17] ---
Ars Magna.\n
[21:19] ---
Ars Magna?\n
[21:22] ---
That is our foe, Aureolus's true power.\n
[21:47] ---
Sphinx?!\n

Don't tell me...\n
