**[00:30] ---**
In order to rescue Himegami Aisa,\notherwise referred to as Deep Blood,\n
**[00:32] ---**
I, Kamijo Toma,\nand another guy with long hair\n
**[00:35] ---**
embarked on a raid\nof Misawa Cram School,\n
**[00:38] ---**
but what awaited us there was\na challenge beyond our imaginations\n
**[00:41] ---**
from the alchemist Aureolus Izzard--\n
**[00:44] ---**
Hold on a second.\nWhat do you mean, Index might be here?!\n
**[00:57] ---**
"A Certain Magical Index"\n
**[01:04] ---**
*From the reason why I live here *
**[01:08] ---**
*to everything I encounter in this place, *
**[01:12] ---**
*though we may be worlds apart *
**[01:15] ---**
*wherever I am, my feelings won't budge *
**[01:26] ---**
*I'll turn my back to the pain *
**[01:31] ---**
*that stabs at my heart, and the sneering *
**[01:38] ---**
*of those lucky people who look on *
**[01:42] ---**
*My fate invites the inevitable suffering *
**[01:48] ---**
*My legs, starting to shake, remember... *
**[01:55] ---**
*...with conviction *
**[01:56] ---**
*Protecting requires more than just dreams *
**[02:00] ---**
*and unreliable power *
**[02:03] ---**
*My hand now knows that, so I won't waver *

**[02:22] ---**
"#09 Deep Blood (Vampire Killer)"\nYou're sure?\n
**[02:24] ---**
"#09 Deep Blood (Vampire Killer)"\nYou're sure you've got a line on where that bastard is?\n
**[02:26] ---**
Did you think I strolled throughout\nthis building for no reason?\n
**[02:31] ---**
I have to admit, \n
**[02:33] ---**
being able to make anything\nhappen with just a word is...\n
**[02:36] ---**
Damn, how are we going to\nget Himegami away from that jerk?\n
**[02:39] ---**
What's more, it looks like Index is here, too.\n
**[02:42] ---**
Even supposing that she wandered in here,\n
**[02:44] ---**
he's not going to hurt her\nright away, like he did with us.\n
**[02:48] ---**
The reason being...\n
**[02:49] ---**
Hold on!\n
**[02:51] ---**
What?!\n
**[02:52] ---**
Tch, so that's it. I get it now.\n
**[02:57] ---**
When you're in hiding for three years,\n
**[02:59] ---**
you lose track of\nwhat's going on in the world.\n
**[03:04] ---**
Necessarily, even with all of the\nfaiths and techniques of the world,\n
**[03:07] ---**
if there are still unrectified injustices,\n
**[03:10] ---**
why would one hesitate to\ndepart from the reason of man?\n
**[03:19] ---**
Who, her?\n
**[03:22] ---**
Naturally, in time, you, too,\nwill be released from your sorrow.\n
**[03:26] ---**
Very soon, now.\n
**[03:29] ---**
Solemnly, you must now call\nwith the sweet aroma of your blood...\n
**[03:33] ---**
the vampires, from out\nof the faraway darkness.\n
**[03:38] ---**
No one will have to get hurt.\nNot any longer.\n
**[03:44] ---**
Himegami!\n
**[03:47] ---**
Index! Damn it!\n
**[03:51] ---**
Unfortunately for you, you will\nnot be able to accomplish your goal.\n
**[03:57] ---**
Hmph, you've finally\ncaught on to my true intent?\n
**[04:00] ---**
In that case, you may howl at\nyour impotence and burn with jealousy\n
**[04:04] ---**
in the face of my accomplishment.\n
**[04:06] ---**
It would be worth a little\nburning if it would work out,\n
**[04:10] ---**
but I'll tell you once again,\nyou will be unable to save her.\n
**[04:13] ---**
You cannot save Index.\n
**[04:16] ---**
Index?\n
**[04:18] ---**
All it means is that you failed.\nWhereas I...\n
**[04:26] ---**
...I will take her...\n
**[04:29] ---**
...this girl, who has taken the weight\nof 103,000 grimoires upon herself,\n
**[04:33] ---**
and can never escape\nfrom the spell she is under...\n
**[04:39] ---**
And yet, though she has accepted her fate,\n
**[04:43] ---**
that her own misfortune\nmight be a blessing to others...\n
**[04:46] ---**
You mean he knew Index?\n
**[04:48] ---**
Yes. He was once Index's partner, as well.\n
**[04:53] ---**
This year, it's you; last year, it was me;\n
**[04:55] ---**
and three years ago, her partner\nwas this man--Aureolus Izzard.\n
**[05:00] ---**
The Index has had to have her\nmemories erased once per year,\n
**[05:03] ---**
or she would be unable to go on living.\n
**[05:06] ---**
It has been inescapable; \n
**[05:08] ---**
a destiny the human body\ncould not fight against. However...\n
**[05:11] ---**
On the other hand,\nshe could get by with an inhuman body?\n
**[05:14] ---**
Vampires are those who possess unlimited life.\n
**[05:17] ---**
They continually store up their endless memories\n
**[05:19] ---**
in the same brain that a human has.\n
**[05:21] ---**
A vampire has the means to\nnever lose sight of their own self,\n
**[05:26] ---**
no matter how many memories they obtain!\n
**[05:28] ---**
I see. And you are\ntrying to get the vampires\n
**[05:31] ---**
to teach you what that method is.\n
**[05:34] ---**
Just for the record, \n
**[05:36] ---**
what if that method doesn't work on people?\n
**[05:40] ---**
Obviously, I'll have to\nremove the Index from her body.\n
**[05:48] ---**
You're going to make her a vampire.\n
**[05:51] ---**
Who, Index?\n
**[05:54] ---**
Casting magic on espers...\n
**[05:58] ---**
and simply using Himegami...\n
**[06:02] ---**
and even after all that, \n
**[06:04] ---**
he's planning to turn Index into a vampire?!\n
**[06:07] ---**
Inevitably,\n
**[06:09] ---**
it will not change the fact that\nthe Index will have been saved.\n
**[06:13] ---**
You must realize that as well.\n
**[06:16] ---**
You, who have seen the end that\nis visited upon this girl every year!\n
**[06:23] ---**
When it happened, she told\nme that she did not want to forget.\n
**[06:28] ---**
That even if it meant violating\nthe teachings and dying,\n
**[06:30] ---**
she did not want the\nmemories in her heart to vanish.\n
**[06:33] ---**
As she was unable to even lift a finger,\n
**[06:36] ---**
she smiled and said that to me!\n
**[06:44] ---**
So you won't change your\nthinking, no matter what, huh?\n
**[06:48] ---**
In that case, go ahead\nand tell him, current partner.\n
**[06:52] ---**
Tell this critically flawed\nalchemist who stands before us.\n
**[06:58] ---**
Just when the hell are you talking about?\n
**[07:02] ---**
--What?\n
**[07:03] ---**
--That's right.\n--What?\n
**[07:04] ---**
Index has long since been saved.\nNot by you, but by Kamijo Toma here.\n
**[07:11] ---**
He has already accomplished\nwhat you could not do.\n
**[07:16] ---**
You, who turned your back\non the Roman Orthodox Church,\n
**[07:17] ---**
and spent three years hiding\nunderground, couldn't have known that.\n
**[07:22] ---**
That's impossible.\nIt can't be. Not in her human body...\n
**[07:26] ---**
And not by someone who\nis neither sorcerer nor alchemist.\n
**[07:31] ---**
Just what is it that he could do?!\n
**[07:33] ---**
It is beneath the dignity of Necessarius--\n
**[07:35] ---**
the English Puritan Church,\nso I won't speak at length about it,\n
**[07:38] ---**
but yes, his right hand is\nwhat is called an Imagine Breaker.\n
**[07:43] ---**
In other words, he possesses\nan ability beyond his merits.\n
**[07:46] ---**
Hold on. If that's so...\n
**[07:47] ---**
Yes, all of your efforts have\nbeen completely for naught.\n
**[07:52] ---**
But do not fret.\nIndex is now together with her partner\n
**[07:56] ---**
and living very happily, just as you desired.\n
**[08:11] ---**
Toma...\n
**[08:16] ---**
Toma...\n
**[08:18] ---**
Index!\n
**[08:21] ---**
Toma...\n
**[08:26] ---**
I'm hungry.\n
**[08:32] ---**
Apples...\n
**[08:35] ---**
Apples are from Aomori...\n
**[08:39] ---**
This is great.\n
**[08:56] ---**
Fall to the floor, intruders!\n
**[09:00] ---**
You trample on my feelings,\n
**[09:03] ---**
and sneer at my travails?\n
**[09:05] ---**
Very well. Let this humiliation...\n
**[09:10] ---**
...be paid for with your deaths!\n
**[09:12] ---**
Wait!\n
**[09:16] ---**
Himegami! Don't do this!\n
**[09:19] ---**
I know how you feel.\n
**[09:23] ---**
He... no longer...\n
**[09:26] ---**
But this is wrong. Right now, you...\n
**[09:29] ---**
--...needs... you...\n
**[09:31] ---**
--I know. The real...\n--...needs... you...\n
**[09:36] ---**
The real you...\n
**[09:39] ---**
Die.\n
**[09:42] ---**
Himegami!\n
**[09:50] ---**
I wanted magic.\n
**[10:01] ---**
I attracted them.\n
**[10:08] ---**
I'm sorry, Aisa. I'm sorry.\n
**[10:12] ---**
And then they all...\n
**[10:16] ---**
...all, before my eyes...\n
**[10:27] ---**
I... killed again, didn't I?\n
**[10:31] ---**
I didn't want to hurt anyone anymore.\n
**[10:37] ---**
Really?\n
**[10:39] ---**
Can you really save someone with my blood?\n
**[10:42] ---**
Can I really not have\nto hurt anyone anymore?\n
**[10:46] ---**
There wasn't even a\nhint of falseness in his smile.\n
**[10:51] ---**
All there was was a single wish--\n
**[10:54] ---**
he wanted to save someone that he loved.\n
**[11:00] ---**
And so... I...\n
**[11:03] ---**
Himegami!\n
**[11:09] ---**
Deep Blood is now unnecessary!\n
**[11:11] ---**
Serenely, I kept my promise. \n
**[11:14] ---**
Now, the girl has been set free\nfrom the misfortune of her blood!\n
**[11:24] ---**
Wha-- You've canceled my Ars Magna?!\n
**[11:27] ---**
Impossible. The death of\nHimegami Aisa was made certain.\n
**[11:31] ---**
Is there some sacred hidden\ntechnique embedded in your right hand?\n
**[11:35] ---**
Would you cram a sock in it?\nIt doesn't really matter now.\n
**[11:40] ---**
Fine, then. \n
**[11:44] ---**
If you can make anything you want happen,\n
**[11:47] ---**
then I'll start by bursting your bubble!\n
**[12:01] ---**
Ah... The floor is so cold.\n
**[12:23] ---**
Death by choking.\n
**[12:33] ---**
Death by electrocution.\n
**[12:38] ---**
Death by crushing.\n
**[12:48] ---**
I can nullify his attacks with my right hand!\n
**[12:51] ---**
Indeed. Your right hand is the genuine article.\n
**[12:54] ---**
It is consistently able\nto cancel out my Ars Magna.\n
**[12:58] ---**
Which is why, if I use an attack\nthat your right hand cannot touch,\n
**[13:02] ---**
it will be impossible for you to cancel it.\n
**[13:05] ---**
A gun in my hand,\n
**[13:06] ---**
loaded with magic bullets to be shot,\n
**[13:09] ---**
numbering one will be more than plenty!\n
**[13:11] ---**
At a speed faster than the human eye can see,\n
**[13:14] ---**
commence shooting!\n
**[13:23] ---**
Hmph, I will not kill you so easily.\n
**[13:26] ---**
You will entertain me a little longer.\n
**[13:29] ---**
Mass-produce the last order. \n
**[13:31] ---**
Ten pistols, simultaneous fire!\n
**[13:46] ---**
I told you, I won't kill you so easily.\n
**[13:48] ---**
Damn...\n
**[13:50] ---**
All is ready. Ten pistols, simultaneous fire...\n
**[13:54] ---**
Hmph, what do you call that?\n
**[13:57] ---**
You really do seem to be bending reality\nwith just your words, don't you?\n
**[14:01] ---**
Obviously. Ars Magna is the high\nwatermark of alchemy.\n
**[14:05] ---**
--Right now, the world is--\n
**[14:06] ---**
--If that's true...\n--Right now, the world is--\n
**[14:07] ---**
...why did you need Deep Blood?\n
**[14:14] ---**
Why did you need to attract any vampires?\n
**[14:17] ---**
You could just make vampires, couldn't you?\n
**[14:20] ---**
At your command, with just a word...\n
**[14:23] ---**
Why didn't you, alchemist?\n
**[14:25] ---**
Why didn't you create vampires\nwith this Ars Magna of yours?\n
**[14:28] ---**
In fact, even before that,\nwhy did you take the roundabout route of--\n
**[14:31] ---**
Into the air, priest of London!\n
**[14:35] ---**
Stiyl!\n
**[14:36] ---**
If you can make everything\nbend according to your word...\n
**[14:40] ---**
Shed, rune sorcerer!\n
**[14:55] ---**
He's right. His objective was to...\n
**[14:59] ---**
If he can make everything\nbend according to his word...\n
**[15:04] ---**
...why didn't he command that Index be saved?\n
**[15:09] ---**
My fun has been spoiled.\nI'll hold off on shooting you.\n
**[15:12] ---**
He didn't think that he could save her?\n
**[15:15] ---**
I'll instead attack you with the blade of a sword.\n
**[15:17] ---**
That's why he couldn't say the words?\n
**[15:20] ---**
Now then, the source of your\nself-assurance appears to be \n
**[15:23] ---**
that mysterious right hand of yours.\n
**[15:25] ---**
So that's how it is.\n
**[15:27] ---**
In that case, I think I'll start\nby chopping off your right arm.\n
**[15:31] ---**
His power isn't the ability\nto bend reality to his word...\n
**[15:35] ---**
Spinning sword blade-shooting\npistol, now fire!\n
**[15:53] ---**
W-What...?\n
**[16:03] ---**
W-What is this?\n
**[16:13] ---**
Who is this guy?\n
**[16:16] ---**
P-Pistol, a duplicate of last time!\n
**[16:20] ---**
Shoot this time to\nremove the head of my prey!\n
**[16:26] ---**
S-Same as before, multiplied! \n
**[16:28] ---**
Shoot a volley of ten blades!\n
**[16:32] ---**
Lay out a countless number\nof executioner's blades!\n
**[16:34] ---**
Dismember his body immediately!\n
**[16:38] ---**
I-Impossible! How can a\nmere human, not even a sorcerer...?\n
**[16:43] ---**
Hey, alchemist...\n
**[16:46] ---**
don't tell me you thought you\ncould defeat my Imagine Breaker\n
**[16:51] ---**
with just that, did you?\n
**[17:02] ---**
You can't go getting\nhigh without those, huh?\n
**[17:06] ---**
You can't drown out\nany idle thoughts, huh?\n
**[17:10] ---**
What's the matter? Use your words.\n
**[17:13] ---**
S-Stay back!\n
**[17:15] ---**
Go ahead and bend me to your word.\n
**[17:18] ---**
S-Stay back!!\n
**[17:23] ---**
This cannot be! My Ars\nMagna cannot lose its efficacy!\n
**[17:28] ---**
Wait, don't think that!\nYou must not think that!\n
**[17:37] ---**
Stop! Don't think! Believe! \n
**[17:40] ---**
With the power I have,\nthese people can't...\n
**[17:43] ---**
You're no match for me, huh?\n
**[17:48] ---**
The reason being that your power\n
**[17:50] ---**
is not being able to bend\nreality to your word...\n
**[17:54] ---**
He's... a monst--\n
**[17:56] ---**
It's the power to make what you *think* into reality!
**[18:11] ---**
I'm impressed that it\nmanaged to attach so easily.\n
**[18:14] ---**
Your body must be unexpectedly fantastical.\n
**[18:17] ---**
Hey, Doc, you're the one who reattached it.\n
**[18:19] ---**
To think that you'd be admitted\ntwice in the space of ten days...\n
**[18:23] ---**
By any chance, are you in it for the nurses?\n
**[18:25] ---**
What do you mean?\n
**[18:27] ---**
Would I intentionally\ncut off my arm just for that?\n
**[18:30] ---**
Oh, then we're not birds of\na feather, huh? That's less fun.\n
**[18:35] ---**
Hey...\n
**[18:38] ---**
Don't tell me he became\na doctor because of the nurses.\n
**[18:42] ---**
Hmm, he's a much better doctor\nthan you'd expect from looking at him.\n
**[18:46] ---**
I guess.\n
**[18:51] ---**
I don't mean to get all buddy-buddy,\n
**[18:53] ---**
but I did want to come see how you were.\n
**[18:56] ---**
Oh, okay.\n
**[19:02] ---**
What is it?\n
**[19:05] ---**
That dragon?\n
**[19:12] ---**
That must have been the form of \n
**[19:14] ---**
the last-minute desperation that Aureolus felt.\n
**[19:17] ---**
What happened to Aureolus?\n
**[19:19] ---**
He's lost all of his memories,\nas well as his magic-using abilities.\n
**[19:25] ---**
I didn't want finishing\nhim off on my conscience,\n
**[19:28] ---**
so I changed his appearance,\nand turned him loose in the wilderness.\n
**[19:31] ---**
It was a little trouble getting him out\nwithout the Thirteen Knights seeing him, though.\n
**[19:37] ---**
I see.\n
**[19:38] ---**
Word is that Misawa Cram School\nhas been shut down.\n
**[19:42] ---**
I meant to offer my thanks for this,\n
**[19:45] ---**
but it kind of seems absurd, you know?\n
**[19:47] ---**
For all that you did, \n
**[19:49] ---**
you just ended up getting\nAureolus to bring ruin upon himself.\n
**[19:53] ---**
You can be grateful for\nKamijo Toma's fine acting skills.\n
**[19:57] ---**
After all, I endured the\npain of having my arm cut off,\n
**[20:01] ---**
while holding my bluff long\nenough to make him tremble like that.\n
**[20:05] ---**
Your senses were probably\nnumbed by the intense pain.\n
**[20:08] ---**
Like riding a high\nfrom the shock, or something.\n
**[20:10] ---**
Kind of like what Aureolus\nused his needles to produce.\n
**[20:14] ---**
Don't you lump me in with that bastard!\n
**[20:16] ---**
Acquiring that weird sorcery,\nsaying he wanted to save a girl...\n
**[20:21] ---**
pinning his hopes on vampires,\nwho we're not sure even exist...\n
**[20:32] ---**
He was her partner, three years ago, huh?\n
**[20:35] ---**
Toma!\n
**[20:41] ---**
Toma!\n
**[20:46] ---**
--Toma, I heard.\n
**[20:47] ---**
--What?\n--Toma, I heard.\n
**[20:49] ---**
That you fought for Aisa this time around.\n
**[20:52] ---**
Aisa? Ah, you mean that\nvibey pseudo-magician, right?\n
**[20:56] ---**
But who did you hear that from?\n
**[20:59] ---**
Isn't that obvious?\n
**[21:01] ---**
I'm not a vibe.\n
**[21:03] ---**
H-Himegami?!\nW-What are you and Index doing here?\n
**[21:07] ---**
It's not as though we wanted\nto come here together to visit you.\n
**[21:10] ---**
It's just that Aisa said that she\nwanted desperately to say thanks.\n
**[21:14] ---**
Why?\n
**[21:17] ---**
Why did you help me? Why, for my sake...?\n
**[21:22] ---**
We just met that one time,\nat a fast food restaurant.\n
**[21:27] ---**
I don't need a reason to help someone, do I?\n
**[21:33] ---**
So anyway, Toma...\n
**[21:35] ---**
Don't talk with your mouth full.\n
**[21:36] ---**
And get down from there already, will you?\n
**[21:40] ---**
You know what?\n
**[21:40] ---**
After a lot of talking it over, \nit looks like the church will be taking in Aisa.\n
**[21:45] ---**
The church? Hey, this isn't some joke\n
**[21:48] ---**
where your "Walking Church"\nis a church, too, right?\n
**[21:58] ---**
Sphinx, where are you going?!\n
**[22:00] ---**
You don't bring a cat to a hospital!\n
**[22:02] ---**
I told you, you should\nleave it back at the apartment.\n
**[22:05] ---**
What do you mean?! It sounds\nlike you've already been to my place!\n
**[22:08] ---**
Wait! Wait up, Sphinx!\n
**[22:11] ---**
Don't make a scene in my hospital room!\n
**[22:12] ---**
--Ah! No, don't claw the wall!\n
**[22:14] ---**
--Ah, geez, what are you doing?! Oh, the wall...\n--Ah! No, don't claw the wall!\n
**[22:20] ---**
Ah, man, this is just my luck!\n
**[22:37] ---**
*Hey, do you hear that? *
