**[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] ---**
**[23:35] ---**
"Next time"
**[23:37] ---**
"Perfect Golem"
