[00:01] ---
    Above here.
[00:03] ---
    Isaac's main body is up there.
[00:05] ---
    We've finally reached it.
[00:15] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[00:24] ---
    At last, I've attained it.
    The Rosenthals' wish for 400 years--
[00:29] ---
    a perfect soul and a perfect body!
[00:43] ---
    This is a being on par with being a god!
[00:45] ---
    The perfect golem!
[00:51] ---
    This power... Don't tell me
    Isaac's evolution is complete...
[00:54] ---
    It looks like time is up.
[01:00] ---
    I can't reflect! What is this craptastic power?
[01:21] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"
[02:35] ---
    "#12 Something to Protect"
[02:39] ---
    W-We are going to enact absolute
    justice in Academy City!
[02:43] ---
    We are justice!
[02:44] ---
    --Justice!
    --Justice!
[02:52] ---
    Justice!
[03:01] ---
    What feels so oppressive?
[03:04] ---
    Is this part of that monster's power?
[03:07] ---
    If anything like that flash
    earlier is used in an urban area,
[03:10] ---
    it's going to multiply the damage done.
[03:12] ---
    This is it! This! This! The more I eat,
    the greater my power becomes!
[03:28] ---
    I can keep gaining power like this.
[03:31] ---
    I'll become the ultimate being,
    beyond even a god.
[03:35] ---
    Once that happens,
    I can bring true justice to Academy City.
[03:40] ---
    What did I just say?
[03:42] ---
    True justice for the city... Justice...
[03:46] ---
    True justice...
[03:49] ---
    Justice... Justice... Justice... Justice...
[03:54] ---
    Justice... Justice...
[04:01] ---
    Justice...
[04:03] ---
    Justice... Justice...
[04:09] ---
    The power has vanished.
[04:11] ---
    Doesn't matter, as long as
    we can keep moving forward.
[04:16] ---
    I can just barely make it.
[04:21] ---
    There's no wind here. But if I take the
    rotation of the earth we're standing on,
[04:27] ---
    the earth's orbital force around
    the sun, and all other forces...
[04:31] ---
    ...and convert them to something I want...
[04:46] ---
    Good, I can pull this off.
[04:51] ---
    Wh-What the...?
[05:03] ---
    Justice... Justice... Justice...
[05:07] ---
    Wait, what is this? Wah, there's
    so much noise coming from inside me!
[05:13] ---
    This is my body!
[05:30] ---
    Guess my battery managed to last long enough.
[05:33] ---
    I knew it...
[05:34] ---
    "What do you mean by that?" questions Misaka.
[05:39] ---
    Master, thank you very much.
    Allow me to take it from here.
[05:58] ---
    Adonai, hurry!
[06:14] ---
    Isaac!
[06:15] ---
    Say your prayers!
[06:18] ---
    Stop, Esther! I don't want to die again!
[06:36] ---
    Adonai!
[06:41] ---
    Don't fall for that, you idiot!
[06:45] ---
    How low the Rosenthals have fallen,
    if a dunce like you is our head!
[06:55] ---
    That's absolutely right.
    Just how big a moron are you?
[07:02] ---
    I thought you were going to be the hero!
    That's why you've come all this way!
[07:07] ---
    So don't backpedal!
[07:10] ---
    Like I told you,
    if there's something you want to save,
[07:13] ---
    then don't hesitate to stretch out your
    hand and protect it for all you're worth!
[07:18] ---
    All right, Master.
[07:24] ---
    Tch, I told you, I'm not your master.
[07:28] ---
    Done with your little talk?
    Then it's about time...
[07:32] ---
    ...to enact justice... Justice...
[07:36] ---
    Justice... Justice...
[07:47] ---
    Huh?
[08:00] ---
    Wh-What is this? What's happening?
[08:09] ---
    Why, you! What the hell did you do?!
[08:16] ---
    Despite having obtained a power
    on the same level as a god,
[08:20] ---
    you're still in Hirumi's form...
[08:23] ---
    Which is to say, you're still hooked up
    to the coffin containing Hirumi's body...
[08:32] ---
    And so...
[08:34] ---
    "...using the Misaka Network,
    we accessed the coffin
[08:37] ---
    and shut down its functions,"
    Misaka continues explaining.
[08:42] ---
    It may be impossible to kill you,
[08:45] ---
    but at least we managed to buy some time...
[08:49] ---
    Why, you...!
[08:51] ---
    "This is what you get for toying with
    the memories of 10,031 Sisters' deaths,"
[08:56] ---
    declares Misaka with a smug look.
[09:00] ---
    Why, you!
[09:11] ---
    What a shame. You lose!
[09:14] ---
    A-After coming this far,
    I can't afford to be beaten now!
[09:22] ---
    I will fight with you, Adonai.
[09:24] ---
    "Misaka will help, too," says Misaka,
    finding her purpose for being here.
[09:32] ---
    S-Stop! Don't do it, damn you!
    I still have so much I want to do!
[09:37] ---
    Don't do it!
[09:54] ---
    Too bad. You lose.
[10:01] ---
    Go ahead, hero.
[10:23] ---
    Wh-Who are you? All you've done is
    interfere with me! Who the hell are you?!
[10:31] ---
    A villain.
[10:33] ---
    A son-of-a-bitch villain, just like you!
[10:54] ---
    Esther...
[11:00] ---
    Hirumi...
[11:09] ---
    Did I prove useful to you?
[11:18] ---
    Welcome back... and farewell... Hirumi...
[11:24] ---
    Bye-bye, Brother.
[11:30] ---
    Hirumi!
[11:55] ---
    I didn't get to be a hero... mm-mm...
[12:26] ---
    Is it over?
[12:31] ---
    What's that?
[12:50] ---
    "Ah, this is--
[12:52] ---
    The vast, uninterpretable
    power built-up inside Isaac's body
[12:57] ---
    is causing distortions not only in space,
    but in the Misaka Network, as well,"
[13:01] ---
    explains Misaka.
[13:04] ---
    So what if it is?
[13:05] ---
    "If this energy is released upon Isaac's death,
[13:09] ---
    it will cause an explosive disintegration,
[13:11] ---
    leveling everything in
    a radius of one-half kilometer.
[13:13] ---
    Further, the shockwave
    will devastate Academy City,"
[13:16] ---
    Misaka further explains.
[13:19] ---
    Oh, no...
[13:35] ---
    I can't disperse it with vector manipulation.
[13:38] ---
    Does this have more of that crap
    mixed in with it? Either way,
[13:42] ---
    it has to be done.
[13:44] ---
    If that damn hero isn't around,
    I'll have to do it!
[13:50] ---
    If nothing else...
[13:53] ---
    ...if there's a chance that it might reach her...
[13:58] ---
    ...I'll have to do this as ugly as it takes!
[14:04] ---
    I'll pour all the remaining juice
    into just doing the calculations.
[14:09] ---
    There's no reason to stay standing!
[14:14] ---
    Everything... Everything I have...!
[14:20] ---
    Master!
[14:34] ---
    I'll take control of everything!
[15:18] ---
    Master...
[15:22] ---
    Master... Master... Master!
[15:28] ---
    Please wake up, Master! Please, open your eyes!
[15:32] ---
    Master! Master!
[15:36] ---
    Electhsricity... exhaustpiwted2gw...
[15:40] ---
    Reavasonbwer... unknownzca...
[16:14] ---
    The damage is extensive. If we had
    been away from here when it happened,
[16:18] ---
    we might have been in danger as well.
[16:21] ---
    It's like I say, this is the safest place to be.
[16:26] ---
    Yes, sir.
[16:29] ---
    The darkness runs deep in this city.
[16:33] ---
    Not even that light that pierced
    the heavens can reach this place.
[16:38] ---
    I wonder how far the
    first-ranked power can reach.
[16:53] ---
    "Jeez!
[16:55] ---
    Why did you skip today's checkup?!"
[16:58] ---
    asks Misaka Misaka, lecturing you!
[17:02] ---
    Buzz off. Once you're done lecturing, go away.
[17:06] ---
    "Ah, Misaka Misaka will do anything for you,
[17:09] ---
    but not go away because she's annoying you,"
[17:12] ---
    she says, drawing a line in the sand.
[17:16] ---
    Okay, then go buy me one of those
    whatever-they're-called cans of coffee.
[17:20] ---
    The one they only sell in School District 14.
[17:23] ---
    "Mm-hmm, okay," says Misaka Misaka,
    thrilled at the importance of this mission
[17:28] ---
    as she rushes off to buy one!
[17:36] ---
    Does he have a child, at his age?
    No, that couldn't be.
[17:41] ---
    But she's too young to be his...
[17:44] ---
    Well, let's just leave any
    delicate matters untouched.
[17:49] ---
    Yo.
[17:50] ---
    You're looking well.
[17:52] ---
    Tch, if I really look that way,
    you should see an eye doctor.
[17:56] ---
    Oh, don't be like that.
    I'm here to apologize for this whole affair.
[18:01] ---
    Huh?
[18:03] ---
    This incident has wiped out DA.
    We've caught all of the survivors.
[18:09] ---
    I'm terribly sorry.
[18:11] ---
    But as a result, we were able
    to lance a boil infecting Antiskill.
[18:18] ---
    Still, what was that thing, anyway?
[18:22] ---
    All the report said
[18:23] ---
    was that an experiment by a
    researcher named Hishigata Mikihiko
[18:26] ---
    had gotten out of control
    and ended up like that.
[18:29] ---
    But it was so gruesome, I have to
    believe there was more to it than that.
[18:35] ---
    Since you were at the center of it,
    you must know something, right?
[18:40] ---
    No, I don't.
[18:42] ---
    All I know is that villains were
    working together on something,
[18:45] ---
    and it ended up causing a chemical reaction.
[18:47] ---
    Yeah, but...
[18:49] ---
    There wasn't any other damage done, right?
[18:53] ---
    You guys did everything you could
    within the bounds of what you could do.
[18:58] ---
    Isn't that enough?
[19:02] ---
    "Morgue"
[19:03] ---
    I'm sorry, Huotou.
[19:05] ---
    I...
[19:06] ---
    There is no need to apologize.
    I am a pseudo-soul that obeys your commands.
[19:13] ---
    I'm now going to release the spell.
[19:16] ---
    I will return the body of
    Hitokawa Hasami to her family,
[19:20] ---
    and you will return to the charm...
[19:22] ---
    ...losing all of the memories
    I have up to now. Isn't that right?
[19:31] ---
    I knew this is what would happen,
    right from that moment.
[19:36] ---
    One should not keep using
    necromancy to tamper with death!
[19:40] ---
    I lost a friend, and when I tried
    to bring her back to life, lost her again!
[19:44] ---
    We should not tamper with death.
[19:47] ---
    As we fought together, I came to understand...
[19:52] ---
    ...that your decision was not wrong.
[19:55] ---
    Huotou...
[19:57] ---
    Your master said something.
    If you're going to be a hero,
[20:01] ---
    don't hesitate to stretch out your hand
    and save what you must save.
[20:09] ---
    If you would, Adonai.
[20:13] ---
    All right.
[20:16] ---
    Um...
[20:18] ---
    My memories will disappear,
    but will I remain in your memories?
[20:28] ---
    Of course you will. I'll never forget you.
[20:33] ---
    I promise.
[20:34] ---
    Promise?
[20:36] ---
    Yeah. I promise.
[20:39] ---
    Right.
[20:42] ---
    Also, let me tell you something.
[20:45] ---
    This isn't a memory;
    it's more of a reminiscence.
[21:01] ---
    Master...
[21:03] ---
    I'm not your master.
    Don't make me keep saying it.
[21:08] ---
    Thank you, Master.
[21:10] ---
    Tch.
[21:12] ---
    I'm not your master, but here's a warning.
[21:17] ---
    Mediocre folks like yourself
[21:20] ---
    shouldn't get any more involved
    with any damn darkness.
[21:27] ---
    From here on, it's One-Way Traffic.
[21:34] ---
    I'll find a path that will lead me
    to where the sun shines.
[21:37] ---
    Both as the head of the Rosenthal family...
[21:40] ---
    ...and as a pupil of my master.
[21:46] ---
    Can you do that, all on your own?
[21:53] ---
    Yes.
[21:55] ---
    Because I'm not alone.
[22:05] ---
    "But you see...
[22:07] ---
    ...Misaka can look after him
    just fine on her own,"
[22:10] ---
    says Misaka Misaka,
    rejecting an unsolicited busybody!
[22:14] ---
    "This is just Misaka coming to pay
    a visit to thank him once again,"
[22:18] ---
    pleads Misaka, in a nurse-like mood,
    her heart all aflutter.
[22:22] ---
    Misaka is doing this!
[22:24] ---
    Misaka will do it.
[22:25] ---
    --No, Misaka will!
    --Misaka will do it.
[22:27] ---
    --Misaka is doing it!
    --Misaka will do it.
[22:30] ---
    No, Misaka!
[22:34] ---
    Same crapheap of a city as always.
[22:37] ---
    There were villains creeping around
    who plotted this incident, too.
[22:42] ---
    As long as we stay in this city,
    villains have to stay villains.
[22:47] ---
    Otherwise, we won't be
    able to protect anything.
[22:53] ---
    Huh?
[23:29] ---
    Honestly,
[23:31] ---
    this city never gets boring.
[23:36] ---
    
[23:39] ---
