**[00:08] ---**
So, what kind of research are
they doing here to have thieves break in?
**[00:14] ---**
Atmospheric continuum mechanics.
**[00:22] ---**
What is that, exactly?
**[00:24] ---**
This is a research facility for a company
that compresses air and sells it.
**[00:33] ---**
You mean like oxygen tanks?
What would anyone be after here?
**[00:53] ---**
Are you all right? What happened here?
**[00:58] ---**
What the...? These are no ordinary thieves.
**[01:04] ---**
Get back!
**[01:19] ---**
What was that?
**[01:23] ---**
It's frozen? Someone's ability?
**[01:26] ---**
No...
**[01:27] ---**
Hey!
**[01:31] ---**
They cut up the floor.
**[01:33] ---**
Did they connect with the subways?
**[01:37] ---**
They got away.
**[01:47] ---**
--Good morning!
--Good morning!
**[02:01] ---**
Early this morning,
**[02:02] ---**
the atmospheric continuum mechanics
research facility in School District 4
**[02:06] ---**
was broken into, and experimental
equipment was stolen.
**[02:16] ---**
Tch.
**[02:49] ---**
"#01 Accelerator
(Academy City's Mightiest Esper)"
**[03:04] ---**
"There you are!
**[03:05] ---**
You can't be outside when
it's well past your checkup time!"
**[03:10] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, criticizing you.
**[03:14] ---**
"What's more, today's the big day
when your head bandages come off,"
**[03:19] ---**
says Misaka Misaka--
**[03:20] ---**
This isn't a holiday or anything like it.
**[03:23] ---**
Huh?!
**[03:27] ---**
"It is a holiday! It is a holiday!
**[03:30] ---**
A holiday! A holiday!
A precious, important, not-to-be-missed,
**[03:35] ---**
significant, momentous day to remember!"
**[03:37] ---**
asserts Misaka Misaka in a loud voice!
**[03:40] ---**
Yeah, all right, all right.
**[03:42] ---**
Holiday! Holiday! Holiday! Holiday! Holiday!
**[03:50] ---**
Hmm, your wound is just about all closed up.
**[03:53] ---**
You don't need the bandages anymore.
**[03:55] ---**
Now, next up,
**[03:57] ---**
I have to do a simple examination.
**[03:59] ---**
Don't need one.
**[04:01] ---**
That bullet to your head
has caused some brain damage.
**[04:05] ---**
It will have mainly affected your
speech, numerical, and motor skills.
**[04:11] ---**
But there is still a lot we
don't know about the brain.
**[04:15] ---**
Under certain circumstances,
this could prove life-threatening to you.
**[04:19] ---**
Are you threatening me?
**[04:21] ---**
I just want to provide the
best care for my patient that I can.
**[04:25] ---**
Tch.
**[04:28] ---**
What is your name and background?
**[04:30] ---**
Accelerator.
**[04:32] ---**
Once first-ranked among seven
Level 5 espers in Academy City.
**[04:38] ---**
My ability is controlling all vectors,
like momentum, heat, and electricity.
**[04:43] ---**
At one time, I took part
in Project Level 6 Shift, and,
**[04:46] ---**
as a result, I have to rely on this piece
of junk to be able to walk and talk right,
**[04:53] ---**
ending up a basket case, which
brings us up to today. That about cover it?
**[04:57] ---**
Hmm, no problems there, I'd say.
**[05:03] ---**
Nice sense of sarcasm you got there.
**[05:08] ---**
Ah, some other Misakas!
**[05:12] ---**
What is the matter, Last Order?
**[05:14] ---**
"Is the bandage-removal-celebration
party coming along okay?"
**[05:18] ---**
verifies Misaka Misaka,
unable to contain her eager heart.
**[05:23] ---**
"Readiness status is relayed among us
clones via the Misaka Network,"
**[05:28] ---**
says Misaka, expressing some doubt.
**[05:31] ---**
"I know that, but this is my first
time throwing a party for someone,
**[05:36] ---**
so I can't help but check,"
says Misaka Misaka...
**[05:40] ---**
After all, today is--
**[05:44] ---**
Huh? What are you doing?
**[05:47] ---**
Nuh'ing.
**[05:58] ---**
Antiskill. I need to see whoever's
in charge of the hospital.
**[06:02] ---**
O-Okay.
**[06:09] ---**
If you all, who keep Academy City safe,
show up in full tactical gear,
**[06:13] ---**
can I assume you aren't here for a checkup?
**[06:15] ---**
I'd feel a lot better if we were.
**[06:17] ---**
How's the chest wound coming along?
**[06:20] ---**
Coming to visit a sick friend
while you're at it? I'm coming along fine.
**[06:23] ---**
So, what's happened?
**[06:27] ---**
Early this morning, a research lab
in School District 4 was hit by thieves.
**[06:32] ---**
Apparently, it's a facility
that researches air,
**[06:35] ---**
but behind the scenes, they were
also developing a secret weapon.
**[06:38] ---**
That's what got stolen.
**[06:40] ---**
A secret weapon?
**[06:42] ---**
The facility has declined
to provide us with any specific data.
**[06:46] ---**
If they can refuse to share
information with Antiskill,
**[06:50] ---**
they must be involved
with the governing board.
**[06:52] ---**
Yeah, they must be.
**[06:54] ---**
From what I've seen,
it's something like a water cutter,
**[06:57] ---**
which can slice through just about anything.
**[06:59] ---**
So, how are the thieves who stole
this secret weapon connected to this place?
**[07:04] ---**
After checking into
similar research in the database,
**[07:07] ---**
it seems that the stolen secret weapon
is for use against Accelerator.
**[07:13] ---**
Indeed, that's something
I'll bet the governing board would want.
**[07:18] ---**
This all means that the thieves
who have this secret weapon
**[07:21] ---**
are probably coming here, aren't they?
**[07:23] ---**
My read is that it's a good possibility.
**[07:26] ---**
Still,
**[07:28] ---**
your numbers are pretty small
if you mean to intercept them here, huh?
**[07:32] ---**
When news reached the VIPs
that a secret weapon had been stolen,
**[07:36] ---**
they started carrying on
about being the targets,
**[07:38] ---**
and are monopolizing most of our personnel.
**[07:41] ---**
More worried about themselves
than some hospital?
**[07:43] ---**
That's some prize-winning corruption.
I wish they *would* go over there.
**[07:47] ---**
Listen up, Accelerator!
It's time for your radical operation!
**[07:57] ---**
Sounds like they're here.
**[07:58] ---**
Ito!
**[08:02] ---**
Excuse me, but could you
call Accelerator down for me?
**[08:06] ---**
I know he's here.
**[08:09] ---**
I'm afraid we can't honor that request.
**[08:10] ---**
Put down the weapon
and surrender yourselves at once.
**[08:13] ---**
By the book, huh?
Oh well. If you won't page him...
**[08:20] ---**
...I'll just have to...
**[08:22] ---**
...do it myself!
**[08:29] ---**
Fire!
**[08:36] ---**
Everyone, fall back!
**[08:38] ---**
--Emergency! Emergency!
Armed intruders in the hospital!
**[08:42] ---**
--Why aren't you taking shelter?
--Emergency! Emergency!
Armed intruders in the hospital!
**[08:43] ---**
--Why aren't you taking shelter?
--All patients, please follow staff
instructions and take immediate shelter!
**[08:43] ---**
--You hear the announcement, right?
--All patients, please follow staff
instructions and take immediate shelter!
**[08:45] ---**
--So what if I do?
--All patients, please follow staff
instructions and take immediate shelter!
**[08:47] ---**
--These thieves are apparently after you.
--All patients, please follow staff
instructions and take immediate shelter!
**[08:49] ---**
They stole a secret weapon that's
being developed with you in mind.
**[08:53] ---**
Oh, they did?
**[08:55] ---**
Then again, while you're still probably okay,
**[08:59] ---**
they're likely to turn the
whole hospital upside down, so...
**[09:02] ---**
Huh?!
**[09:04] ---**
"If they turn the hospital upside down,
that includes the kitchen, right?"
**[09:08] ---**
says Misaka Misaka,
running off to ensure the ca--
**[09:11] ---**
to ensure that *they* are moved to safety.
**[09:14] ---**
Hey!
**[09:16] ---**
I'll keep Last Order safe.
You hurry up and get out of here.
**[09:23] ---**
Tch.
**[09:31] ---**
Oh, Accelerator!
**[09:37] ---**
Look, that won't work.
**[09:40] ---**
Damn, being that bulletproof and
with a blade that sharp, what do we do?
**[09:46] ---**
They're coming through!
**[09:53] ---**
Come on, where's Accelerator?
**[10:00] ---**
Tch.
**[10:04] ---**
Hiro.
**[10:11] ---**
Okay, what will it be?
**[10:13] ---**
Yomikawa...
**[10:15] ---**
What is it?
**[10:16] ---**
That man behind the armed girl--
**[10:18] ---**
it looks like he's the one carrying
the magazines for that weapon.
**[10:22] ---**
What if we went after him,
and then push her to use up her ammo?
**[10:26] ---**
Not bad. But who are they?
**[10:29] ---**
I've determined the culprits' identities.
**[10:31] ---**
Takata Yoko.
**[10:32] ---**
Kidera Minori.
**[10:34] ---**
Nakahara Hiromi.
All three are high school students.
**[10:39] ---**
They're just children, all right.
**[10:41] ---**
Which means you don't want to shoot them.
**[10:43] ---**
That's that, then.
**[10:48] ---**
It's not my way to point guns at children.
**[10:50] ---**
Huh? You're radical. So, what will you do?
**[10:54] ---**
I'm just gonna do *this*!
**[10:56] ---**
Radical!
**[11:12] ---**
Well, aren't you radical?
**[11:17] ---**
No killing.
**[11:20] ---**
Tch.
**[11:22] ---**
"I went through trial and tribulation
all morning to make these,
**[11:22] ---**
"Kitchen"
**[11:25] ---**
and here are the fruits of my labor.
**[11:28] ---**
I can't afford to lose these,"
mutters Misaka Misaka to herself.
**[11:33] ---**
Are they really that important?
Is this some kind of holiday?
**[11:38] ---**
Yes, today is an important day. It's his...
**[11:44] ---**
So...
**[11:45] ---**
Okay, let's take that and get to shelter.
**[11:48] ---**
What about him?
**[11:50] ---**
I'm sure he's already gotten out.
**[11:51] ---**
"You told him to run away?"
questions Misaka Misaka.
**[11:56] ---**
Yes.
**[11:57] ---**
"That might have the opposite effect,"
says Misaka Misaka, worried about him.
**[12:06] ---**
Are you okay?
**[12:08] ---**
I'm fine.
**[12:09] ---**
Hey, fall back! We have to regroup.
**[12:12] ---**
What? You're falling back again?
**[12:15] ---**
Hey, can't you mess with their density?
**[12:18] ---**
N-No, my ability only has
a range of about three meters.
**[12:23] ---**
That's seriously lame.
**[12:24] ---**
Sorry.
**[12:28] ---**
Yomikawa!
**[12:30] ---**
We can't go any farther.
**[12:41] ---**
We can't fall back any longer.
**[12:44] ---**
What's that? You're not falling back again?
**[12:47] ---**
Does that mean you're
all ready to get carved up?
**[12:51] ---**
Ito, Takahashi,
we'll take all three of them together.
**[12:55] ---**
What are you nattering on about?
**[12:58] ---**
The plan is for all three of us to go,
and whoever isn't cut up stops her?
**[13:03] ---**
Then it doesn't matter
which one of us she goes after.
**[13:07] ---**
What was that?! How radical!
**[13:09] ---**
I can slice through all
three of you, no problem!
**[13:20] ---**
Hiro!
**[13:23] ---**
Damn, man.
**[13:27] ---**
You keep raising a racket right next
to my bedroom. Knock it off!
**[13:36] ---**
I get it. You must be Accelerator, right?
**[13:40] ---**
Are you the one who's
trying to pick a fight with me?
**[13:44] ---**
If you can break through a wall
to come at me, you're pretty radical, huh?
**[13:49] ---**
I've been anxious to meet you!
**[13:57] ---**
Doesn't look like defeating
you is going to be that simple.
**[14:00] ---**
Looks like defeating you
*is* gonna be that simple.
**[14:04] ---**
"Ah, there you are!
**[14:06] ---**
I was worried that you didn't
get away, and went off to fight,"
**[14:10] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, sounding
like she's your guardian for once.
**[14:15] ---**
Wait!
**[14:21] ---**
Tch.
**[14:27] ---**
"That startled me.
I wasn't expecting the ceiling to collapse,"
**[14:30] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, unable to
conceal her shaking from this surprise.
**[14:36] ---**
You're hurt. Did you get hit by the rubble?
**[14:39] ---**
Nothing hit me.
I haven't had any action in a while,
**[14:42] ---**
and my wound opened back up, that's all.
**[14:44] ---**
Yes! That's blood!
**[14:47] ---**
Ah! N-No! H-Huh...?
**[14:50] ---**
Don't take me so lightly.
**[14:53] ---**
Maybe I should take a little bit
more genetic material with me!
**[14:57] ---**
Don't do it, Yo!
You don't have to take things this far!
**[15:01] ---**
Tch.
**[15:02] ---**
Well, radical. Let's go.
Take one of Hiro's magazines.
**[15:06] ---**
Huh? We're leaving Hiro here?
**[15:09] ---**
Don't talk back, just do it, Kidera.
**[15:14] ---**
S-Sorry.
**[15:15] ---**
Let's go.
**[15:21] ---**
They got away. Check our status.
**[15:24] ---**
The children are all clear.
**[15:26] ---**
Good. Secure the boy.
**[15:28] ---**
--Anyone who can keep up,
we're going after them.
**[15:29] ---**
--What was that bag?
--Anyone who can keep up,
we're going after them.
**[15:30] ---**
--It's...
--Yes, ma'am.
**[15:31] ---**
--Huh?
--Yes, ma'am.
**[15:32] ---**
Never mind about the bag,
**[15:35] ---**
Misaka Misaka is more
worried about your injury.
**[15:38] ---**
Tch.
**[15:41] ---**
Damn it, what's the use?
**[15:44] ---**
If you're going after
them, we'll take my car.
**[15:46] ---**
Don't need it.
**[15:47] ---**
Shouldn't you preserve
your battery as much as you can?
**[15:51] ---**
Can you even drive?
**[15:53] ---**
You took a gunshot to the chest,
and your bandages aren't even off yet.
**[15:57] ---**
If I rupture a blood vessel,
will you reconnect it for me?
**[16:01] ---**
Not on your life.
**[16:07] ---**
You really do go to great
lengths for that girl.
**[16:10] ---**
I just can't stand having those
punks getting the better of me.
**[16:13] ---**
They did get away
with your genetic data, too.
**[16:16] ---**
She really does think the world of you.
That's why she spent so much time--
**[16:21] ---**
Huh?
**[16:22] ---**
Anyhow, where should we go?
**[16:25] ---**
Standard villain theory says
that they'll first go underground,
**[16:28] ---**
to avoid any satellite surveillance.
**[16:30] ---**
"School District 7
underground drainage channel"
**[16:30] ---**
There's an underground sewer near here.
**[16:33] ---**
Then that's the place.
**[16:35] ---**
Underground again.
**[16:36] ---**
Let's look for another entrance.
**[16:43] ---**
Listen, Yo...
**[16:45] ---**
Huh?
**[16:47] ---**
Do you think they caught Hiro?
**[16:49] ---**
Ugh, are you still on that?
**[16:52] ---**
If you're that concerned,
why don't you go help him on your own?
**[16:54] ---**
I couldn't.
**[16:56] ---**
That stuff you're carrying is
radical first-ranked genetic data.
**[17:02] ---**
We take that to the right lab and
play our cards right, and we're billionaires.
**[17:07] ---**
Once we have that, we'll think
of some backdoor way to rescue Hiro.
**[17:11] ---**
But first, we have to make
a clean getaway, right?
**[17:14] ---**
Then why are you doing that?
**[17:17] ---**
I want to make sure
we give any pursuers the slip.
**[17:20] ---**
Or did you really think we can get
away clean with you along, slowpoke?
**[17:24] ---**
Then why not just bring
an end to everything right here?
**[17:29] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[17:31] ---**
You can't even get close to me.
**[17:43] ---**
Super-radical! That was way beyond radical!
**[17:51] ---**
Radical! How are you not hurt?!
**[17:54] ---**
Disappointed, are you?
**[17:57] ---**
The cat's out of the bag about your weapon.
**[18:00] ---**
Nitrogen, right?
That last explosion employed nitrogen,
**[18:05] ---**
which turns solid at
anything under -210 degrees.
**[18:07] ---**
So your little toy is actually
an ultra-high-pressure water cutter,
**[18:12] ---**
which uses the melting of solid nitrogen.
**[18:15] ---**
But the clincher is using the
unseen nitrogen that gets spread about
**[18:20] ---**
to deprive anyone
who gets too close of oxygen.
**[18:22] ---**
Get your filthy hand off of me.
**[18:24] ---**
You got it!
**[18:28] ---**
I'm surprised you thought
you could get at me with such a trinket.
**[18:33] ---**
Now then, how come you guys,
who are standing in the middle of the nitrogen
**[18:36] ---**
don't get deprived of oxygen?
It's because of *you*,
**[18:40] ---**
someone who's way too unsteady
to just be carrying the goods.
**[18:43] ---**
You're able to control
the concentration of gases in the air--
**[18:47] ---**
something of an aero-separator, right?
**[18:49] ---**
You maintain enough breathable
air around you and your pals.
**[18:53] ---**
But now that I know about it, you're done.
**[18:56] ---**
You see, my ability
to manipulate any kind of vector
**[18:59] ---**
is upwardly compatible to yours!
**[19:08] ---**
I've now revealed all your tricks.
**[19:12] ---**
Fine, just let us have your genetic data.
Don't be so stingy!
**[19:18] ---**
Don't even bother.
I'm not like that preachy Level 0.
**[19:22] ---**
If you want to keep going,
I won't hold back anymore.
**[19:25] ---**
Your blood will be mine!!
**[19:30] ---**
Radical!
**[19:37] ---**
Yo!
**[19:39] ---**
Well? Do you want to still keep going?
**[19:41] ---**
No! You're going to kill Yo!
**[19:44] ---**
If you want to keep fighting,
I-I'll take you on.
**[19:49] ---**
Huh?
**[19:55] ---**
Tch.
**[20:01] ---**
If she's so important to you
that you'd risk your life,
**[20:04] ---**
you should have stopped
her before she did all of this.
**[20:12] ---**
Earlier today, at around noon,
**[20:13] ---**
the trio who attacked a hospital
in School District 7 were arrested.
**[20:17] ---**
--The three suspects in this case
also stole a weapon under development
**[20:17] ---**
--"Ah! Thank you!" declares
Misaka Misaka, full of gratitude!
**[20:20] ---**
--from an atmospheric continuum
mechanics research facility...
**[20:20] ---**
--"Ah! Thank you!" declares
Misaka Misaka, full of gratitude!
**[20:21] ---**
--from an atmospheric continuum
mechanics research facility...
**[20:21] ---**
--Shut up.
**[20:23] ---**
"Huh?" says Misaka Misaka,
making her discontent known.
**[20:27] ---**
So, what is that, exactly, anyway?
**[20:31] ---**
"If you really want to know,
I would be willing to reveal it to you,"
**[20:35] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, resisting
the impulse to show you outright,
**[20:38] ---**
and acting a little pretentious.
**[20:40] ---**
Then never mind. I'm not all that interested.
**[20:43] ---**
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding!
Have a look, have a look!"
**[20:44] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, putting aside
her games and giving this to you!
**[20:50] ---**
Open it up.
**[20:56] ---**
"We're just getting started"
**[21:01] ---**
"There's still lots of party
left to celebrate your recovery,
**[21:05] ---**
