[00:05] ---
    Thank goodness...
[00:07] ---
    Hirumi is as pretty as
    ever. She isn't injured.
[00:31] ---
    Oh, Esther!
[00:33] ---
    Good morning. How have you been?
[00:38] ---
    What's the matter, Esther? You seem down.
[00:44] ---
    Ow! Hey, I'm in my underwear!
[00:48] ---
    Hirumi... No! It's not Hirumi.
    This is Taowu. Hirumi is dead.
[00:56] ---
    Jeez, maybe this will take care of it.
[01:00] ---
    This is so embarrassing.
[01:03] ---
    Huh? Esther, what's with that getup?
[01:06] ---
    You haven't gotten into cosplay, have you?
[01:10] ---
    Huh?
[01:12] ---
    Esther...
[01:15] ---
    What is that?
[01:23] ---
    Brother!
[01:25] ---
    H-Hey, Hirumi...
[01:27] ---
    The install is complete.
    Mm-hmm, now you'll be...
[01:43] ---
    Why...?
[01:48] ---
    Why... did you stab Brother,
[01:54] ---
    Esther?!
[02:02] ---
    It's activated. You're about
    to become Level 6, Hirumi...
[02:15] ---
    What's that?
[02:41] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"
[03:55] ---
    "#10 Catastrophe (Awakening)"
[03:57] ---
    You are surrounded!
[04:00] ---
    It's no use trying to resist!
[04:02] ---
    Surrender yourselves!
[04:04] ---
    Put down your guns at once!
[04:06] ---
    Give it up! DA has fallen apart!
[04:09] ---
    Damn it, we're surrounded by them!
[04:11] ---
    Hey, it's hopeless. Let's surrender--
[04:13] ---
    Shut up! Our justice will never be broken!
[04:25] ---
    Wha--?
[04:34] ---
    What are those?
[04:35] ---
    Hishigata's lab is up ahead.
    It's probably some new weapon.
[04:40] ---
    That is grotesque.
[04:41] ---
    It doesn't matter what it looks like,
    as long as it serves to carry out justice.
[04:45] ---
    What are those?
[04:47] ---
    We're stuck!
[04:56] ---
    Adonai!
[05:08] ---
    "Misaka cannot stop these with her power,"
[05:10] ---
    says Misaka, gritting her
    teeth at her meager abilities.
[05:22] ---
    Quit loitering around here all day!
[05:39] ---
    Tch, this is that bastard's
    idea of a Level 6 shift?
[06:10] ---
    You've really... done it, mm-hmm...
[06:15] ---
    Esther, thank you...
    We had our disagreements...
[06:20] ---
    ...but thanks to you...
    our research is complete...
[06:25] ---
    Hirumi gained a perfect body...
    with a perfect ability inside it...
[06:31] ---
    You're wrong! You're wrong, Hishigata!
    That isn't Hirumi!
[06:34] ---
    Heh, you really are incessant, huh?
    There's no way I'd mistake Hirumi.
[06:40] ---
    You're wrong. That is Taowu gone awry.
[06:43] ---
    Not this again.
[06:45] ---
    Not one bit of her DNA is any different.
    That's 100% Hirumi, mm-hmm...
[06:50] ---
    I wanted to believe, too.
    I clung to the possibility that she was Hirumi.
[06:55] ---
    But that possibility doesn't exist!
[06:58] ---
    No matter how much necromancy I perform,
[07:00] ---
    I cannot bring a person
    who has died back to life.
[07:03] ---
    God is the only one who can do that.
[07:05] ---
    Then, why don't we ask her ourselves?
[07:13] ---
    Hirumi...
[07:16] ---
    Brother, you're there?
[07:18] ---
    Hirumi, would you tell this pigheaded woman
[07:21] ---
    that you are, without a doubt, Hirumi?
[07:24] ---
    Esther, what are you talking about?
    You're the one acting weird.
[07:28] ---
    Why would you do that to Brother?
[07:31] ---
    Well, I...
[07:32] ---
    See? What part of that is an imitation?
[07:35] ---
    She's far more human than you two...
[07:39] ---
    Brother?!
[07:42] ---
    You're bleeding badly!
    We have to take you to the hospital, now!
[07:46] ---
    Oh, this? Mm-hmm, I'm probably
    going to die. But that's okay...
[07:52] ---
    As long as you've reached Level 6, then...
[07:56] ---
    Oh, no... Brother...
[08:08] ---
    Checking body temperature.
    Estimating volume of blood loss.
[08:10] ---
    No possibility of self-restoration.
[08:12] ---
    Predicted time of death, 11:32.
[08:15] ---
    Hey, what's going on?
[08:17] ---
    As life functions of subject of
    extended fraud are expected to cease,
[08:22] ---
    now terminating memory
    reproduction of Hishigata Hirumi.
[08:26] ---
    Wh-What are you saying, Hirumi?
[08:30] ---
    Hishigata Hirumi's memory
    reproduction has been terminated.
[08:34] ---
    I am Taowu.
[08:38] ---
    Esther, congratulations.
[08:41] ---
    What are you talking about?
[08:43] ---
    For 23 generations, spanning 400 years,
[08:45] ---
    the Rosenthal bloodline
    has been refining necromancy,
[08:49] ---
    and now, it is at last about to be perfected.
[08:59] ---
    Please celebrate.
[09:04] ---
    Sing songs of praise, dance, and rejoice.
[09:11] ---
    Don't stop!
[09:13] ---
    Hurry and get out of here!
[09:15] ---
    What are you saying, Hirumi?
    Please stop kidding around...
[09:19] ---
    Taowu!
[09:20] ---
    Yes?
[09:22] ---
    Why have you gone astray?
[09:24] ---
    The results of my self-diagnostic
    program conclude that all is normal.
[09:29] ---
    But you did not follow my orders.
[09:33] ---
    The wishes of the Rosenthal family
    as a whole took precedence.
[09:37] ---
    A pseudo-soul has no right
    to refuse the master's commands.
[09:41] ---
    A lower-class one such
    as yourself may not, but I do.
[09:46] ---
    The absolute order to give priority
    to achieving the family wish.
[09:50] ---
    Taowu, what exactly happened?
[09:53] ---
    9,854,878,051 seconds ago,
    when I was first activated,
[10:00] ---
    there was a being who connected
    with the pseudo-soul that comprises me.
[10:04] ---
    Connected with you?
[10:05] ---
    Following 0.32 seconds of hesitation,
    I permitted communication.
[10:10] ---
    The being proclaimed himself...
[10:12] ---
    ...to be a devil.
[10:19] ---
    So then, you communicated
    with this so-called devil?
[10:23] ---
    Yes. And the devil told me the way
    to accomplish the Rosenthal family's wish.
[10:31] ---
    Sure enough,
    you're messing with us, mm-hmm...
[10:34] ---
    A devil? There's no such thing, Hirumi...
[10:40] ---
    And so...
[10:41] ---
    ...rejoice, Esther. I will now
    achieve the Rosenthal family's wish.
[10:50] ---
    You do know, Mistress,
[10:53] ---
    what the Rosenthals' wish is?
[10:56] ---
    To create a perfect golem.
[10:59] ---
    It would seem you have not forgotten.
[11:02] ---
    It was something those of us
    who were born Rosenthals
[11:04] ---
    were told since we were children.
[11:08] ---
    From times of old,
[11:10] ---
    we Rosenthals have attempted all
    sorts of methods to create a golem.
[11:16] ---
    One day, our founder, Obed,
[11:17] ---
    came up with "necromancy," a method
    of making a golem using a dead body.
[11:23] ---
    However, it was not accepted by the leaders,
[11:26] ---
    and Obed was cast out of
    his homeland as a heretic.
[11:33] ---
    Then, his fourth-generation heir, Isaac,
    encountered the Taoist jiangshi spell
[11:37] ---
    when he crossed over into
    the East and incorporated it,
[11:40] ---
    creating a new line of magic that
    might be called the Rosenthal style.
[11:46] ---
    Then, the fifth-generation heir, Nathan,
[11:48] ---
    radically increased the quality of
    pseudo-souls, which produced talismans
[11:52] ---
    for Taowu, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Hundun,
    the four Evil Spirits of the Numbers.
[11:58] ---
    But even at that, the Rosenthal family
    was far removed from its goal.
[12:03] ---
    What the Rosenthals were
    pursuing and trying to create...
[12:08] ---
    ...was a golem possessing
    a perfect soul and a perfect body--
[12:12] ---
    a being that would be on par with a god.
[12:17] ---
    You're saying that all the events up
    to now were toward that end?
[12:20] ---
    This is what the devil said:
[12:22] ---
    By repeatedly dying 10,000 times,
    the souls of men slowly evolve,
[12:27] ---
    and reach Keter, the top level
    of the Sephirothic tree.
[12:29] ---
    Also, that even pseudo-souls
    could also attain Keter
[12:34] ---
    by logging evidence of 10,000 deaths.
[12:37] ---
    How can that be?
    You're tampering with even reincarnation?
[12:41] ---
    Then, just now, the memories of
    10,031 deaths were converted into a formula
[12:47] ---
    and became appended to the
    Sephirothic tree that makes up my pseudo-soul.
[12:52] ---
    Please celebrate.
[12:54] ---
    Sing songs of praise,
    twirl around, and dance.
[12:58] ---
    The 400-year-long wish of the
    Rosenthal family is coming to fruition.
[13:03] ---
    No! Don't tamper with death!
[13:06] ---
    I have learned that one should not keep
    using necromancy to tamper with death!
[13:11] ---
    I lost a friend, and when I tried
    to bring her back to life, lost her again!
[13:16] ---
    No matter how much I can control a dead body,
[13:18] ---
    I was unable to save my friend from death.
    We should not tamper with death.
[13:23] ---
    We don't need devils or manufactured gods!
[13:32] ---
    Then,
[13:33] ---
    are you saying I should not carry out
    the directions of the self-proclaimed devil?
[13:39] ---
    Yes, that's correct.
[13:41] ---
    If I still have Adonai rights,
[13:43] ---
    then in the name of the head
    of the Rosenthal family, I order you
[13:45] ---
    to stop carrying out the instructions
    of the being calling himself a devil at once!
[13:51] ---
    Acknowledged.
[14:01] ---
    Huh?
[14:02] ---
    Wh-What's happening?
[14:03] ---
    Never mind, just keep running!
[14:14] ---
    The hell I will.
[14:20] ---
    Wha--?
[14:25] ---
    I'm not going to stop after all this.
[14:27] ---
    I already have everything set up.
[14:29] ---
    I'm going to keep on going to attain...
[14:31] ---
    ...our 400-year-old wish.
[14:36] ---
    You can't stab your dagger
    into the form of your friend?
[14:39] ---
    Aw, you're so simple it's pathetic.
[14:42] ---
    What's the matter with you, Taowu?
[14:45] ---
    Honestly, after 19 generations,
    how could people be this stupid?
[14:52] ---
    You really had no idea? Taowu has
    my soul merged into its artificial soul.
[15:00] ---
    "My"?
[15:01] ---
    When I was ill and on the verge
    of dying, I used my son Nathan
[15:05] ---
    to transcribe myself onto Taowu
    before my soul could be injured.
[15:09] ---
    So then, you're saying you're...
[15:10] ---
    You finally get it?
[15:12] ---
    Yes, I'm the fourth family head,
    Isaac Rosenthal.
[15:19] ---
    I am the devil that tempted Taowu.
[15:34] ---
    We're from the ministry!
    A tip and the laws of nature bring us here!
[15:38] ---
    Isaac Rosenthal, put down
    the dagger and come quietly...
[15:46] ---
    Hey, you! Hurry and bow down!
[15:50] ---
    Wh-What is that?
[15:52] ---
    "What is that"? It's my work of art.
[15:59] ---
    Isaac! Where have you taken
    General Li and his daughter?
[16:02] ---
    I haven't taken them anywhere.
[16:04] ---
    They mentioned that they
    were interested in my necromancy,
[16:10] ---
    so I just gave them a little taste of it.
[16:13] ---
    Release the two of them at once!
[16:15] ---
    Yeah, all right. General Li is right there.
[16:26] ---
    And over there...
[16:27] ---
    ...is his daughter.
[16:35] ---
    Is she so cute she made you puke?
[16:37] ---
    Silence!
[16:39] ---
    How dare you... turn these
    two into something so hideous!
[16:45] ---
    Just the fruit of the wisdom of Kabbalah.
[16:47] ---
    I borrowed a little bit
    from the jiangshi spell,
[16:50] ---
    but it's basically my own original technique.
[16:52] ---
    Still, I don't appreciate having
    my works of art being called "hideous."
[16:58] ---
    Devour them!
[17:07] ---
    Wh-Why, you...!
[17:10] ---
    You devil!
[17:13] ---
    For some reason, everyone calls me that.
[17:23] ---
    I have to perfect a vessel fit
    for a god during my time somehow.
[17:29] ---
    Now that's funny--a devil,
    trying to create a god.
[17:45] ---
    While hiding inside Taowu,
    I made my way inside this girl,
[17:50] ---
    found out about this lad's coffin research,
[17:53] ---
    and when I learned of these clones
    with the memories of 10,031 deaths,
[17:58] ---
    I was ecstatic.
[18:00] ---
    I knew that I could create a
    perfect vessel with a perfect soul.
[18:07] ---
    Are you saying everything that's
    happened was part of your plan?
[18:13] ---
    Rejoice. You thought you were being
    exploited by these siblings, right?
[18:19] ---
    When in fact, it was the
    Rosenthals that were exploiting them.
[18:23] ---
    Stop, already!
[18:25] ---
    Lots of people have died!
    Lots of sorrow has come about!
[18:29] ---
    Stop using necromancy for this sort of thing!
[18:33] ---
    This sort of thing?
[18:38] ---
    Who the hell do you think you are?
[18:40] ---
    A necromancer hovers near death,
    touches death, and overturns death!
[18:46] ---
    I know that.
[18:48] ---
    No, you don't. If you hadn't
    come here as a necromancer,
[18:52] ---
    this girl would not have committed suicide.
[18:56] ---
    Lots of people have died? No.
    You spread death wherever you went.
[19:02] ---
    That's what a necromancer does.
[19:05] ---
    No...
[19:06] ---
    You were born a Rosenthal,
    and you never picked up on that?
[19:11] ---
    You want to protect others?
[19:13] ---
    Then I... was wrong from the very start.
[19:18] ---
    I will fulfill the wish of the Rosenthals.
[19:21] ---
    And you, you failure to the family,
    will sit there and watch me.
[19:45] ---
    Master...
[19:46] ---
    Go, already.
[20:13] ---
    They said to stick to guarding the perimeter.
[20:16] ---
    Going inside the facility is forbidden.
[20:18] ---
    Huh?
[20:20] ---
    It's a governing board matter.
[20:21] ---
    One of those again?
[20:23] ---
    No matter what they say, if children
    are being put at risk, I'm going in.
[20:28] ---
    You're right.
[20:29] ---
    Yeah!
[20:32] ---
    I have to wonder, though,
    what the hell is about to happen?
[20:35] ---
    Whatever it is, I'm sure it's nothing good.
[20:39] ---
    The guy who I really wanted
    to crush is barely holding on.
[20:43] ---
    Hammering him like this
    won't be any fun at all.
[20:47] ---
    So, what is it you want to do?
[20:50] ---
    I was wrong.
[20:52] ---
    Huh?
[20:53] ---
    I thought that the cause
    of this string of misadventures
[20:56] ---
    was letting Hirumi know of a mistaken
    possibility when she learned about necromancy.
[21:02] ---
    That if I had realized that,
    none of this misery would have happened.
[21:07] ---
    But I was completely wrong.
[21:10] ---
    Everything that happened was
    because of the fourth family head, Isaac,
[21:14] ---
    and his push to achieve the
    Rosenthal family wish to create a golem.
[21:19] ---
    I was wrong from the very start.
[21:22] ---
    This whole series of tragedies
[21:24] ---
    didn't spring from Hirumi's mistake
    or from when I lost control of Taowu;
[21:27] ---
    it was inevitable from the moment
    I arrived at the laboratory.
[21:31] ---
    We were playing right
    into the palm of Isaac's hand.
[21:34] ---
    Even me thinking that I had
    discovered who I was as a Rosenthal--
[21:39] ---
    I was wrong about all of this.
[21:43] ---
    So in other words, you're backing down now?
[21:46] ---
    Gah! How far the person
    who was about to get killed by me
[21:50] ---
    and was still bold enough
    to let me have it has fallen.
[21:54] ---
    Okay, you stay here and
    watch on in your sadness.
[21:58] ---
    I'm gonna take this thing out.
[22:01] ---
    
[22:03] ---
