[00:01] ---
    Now then...
[00:12] ---
    It's time...
[00:14] ---
    ...to bring about some justice!
[00:25] ---
    How...?!
[00:27] ---
    Rosenthal Third Number, Huotou, activating.
[00:32] ---
    Danger to Adonai detected.
    Commencing action to purge the danger.
[00:51] ---
    How is she moving around...?
[00:53] ---
    Y-You...
[00:55] ---
    You're supposed to be dead
    as a result of our justice...!
[00:59] ---
    S-Stay back!
[01:01] ---
    No... What's here isn't just a body;
[01:05] ---
    it's a person.
[01:06] ---
    Stay back, you monster!!
[01:09] ---
    Attack identified.
    Prioritizing charm damage avoidance.
[01:13] ---
    Permitting physical damage up to Level 4.
[01:20] ---
    Hey, man! Don't be so quick
    to call others monsters.
[01:27] ---
    A real monster, you see...
[01:32] ---
    ...is more along the lines of this!
[01:51] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Accelerator"
[03:04] ---
    "#04 Third Number (The Pseudo-Soul, Huotou)"
[03:05] ---
    You're done for now!
[03:09] ---
    What a shame.
    If I were in a slightly better mood,
[03:13] ---
    there were a number of things
    I would have asked you first.
[03:16] ---
    It makes no difference now, though.
[03:20] ---
    Even this babe in the woods here
[03:22] ---
    is at least smart enough
    to show respect for the dead,
[03:26] ---
    but you seem to prefer cutting them up
    and dissolving them, don't you?
[03:31] ---
    If I'm being honest,
    I'm not opposed to that, myself. So...
[03:36] ---
    ...let's you and me, monster to monster,
[03:39] ---
    have a little fun with each other!
[03:50] ---
    I'm thinking of using the blood flow
    and bioelectricity in your body
[03:54] ---
    and trying my hand at creating a little art.
[03:59] ---
    You'll be dead, though,
    and won't get to see it.
[04:07] ---
    Huh?
[04:09] ---
    He got so freaked out, he lost consciousness.
[04:12] ---
    What a disgrace to villainy.
[04:15] ---
    Now...
[04:16] ---
    ...is it your turn next?
[04:26] ---
    Wh-What is this?
[04:33] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:35] ---
    Huh?
[04:39] ---
    My wound has opened up again. Even so...
[04:47] ---
    ...it doesn't matter.
[04:54] ---
    Hey!
[05:08] ---
    "Morgue"
[05:22] ---
    Are you okay? Shake it off.
[05:26] ---
    Adonai...
[05:28] ---
    ...he has not sustained injury serious
    enough to terminate life functions.
[05:32] ---
    By taking appropriate measures,
    he should recover.
[05:37] ---
    Rescue teams should be arriving shortly.
    Should we pursue him?
[05:41] ---
    No. I can't leave him here like this.
[05:46] ---
    He is my essential...
[05:50] ---
    Essential...?
[05:51] ---
    ...t-teacher, actually.
[05:54] ---
    Teacher?
[05:55] ---
    Yeah. I have much to learn from him.
[05:59] ---
    Move it! Move it!
[06:01] ---
    Out of the way!
[06:03] ---
    Move! Move!
[06:06] ---
    Move!
[06:17] ---
    "That kind of violence cannot be tolerated,"
[06:21] ---
    says Misaka, issuing a warning.
[06:27] ---
    "Please run away from here at once,"
[06:28] ---
    says Misaka, requesting evacuation
    while keeping the villain occupied.
[06:33] ---
    Tch, damn it!
[06:35] ---
    Misaka dodges him,
[06:37] ---
    then deprives him of mobility
    for several seconds using electricity,
[06:41] ---
    while in the meantime...
[06:47] ---
    Insulation?!
[06:56] ---
    In that case, Misaka
[06:58] ---
    makes an attempt at hacking.
[06:59] ---
    That uniform is from Tokiwadai.
[07:02] ---
    There is shielding in place.
    But breaking in should still be possible.
[07:06] ---
    I don't know who you are, but I don't
    need you using your abilities on me.
[07:10] ---
    Adonai, I have located him.
[07:21] ---
    Hey, hurry and get in!
[07:22] ---
    That means...
[07:23] ---
    ...you're my hostage!
[07:38] ---
    Pursuing.
[07:39] ---
    Huh? Are you sure you're all right?
[07:41] ---
    I am unsure of your
    definition of "all right,"
[07:43] ---
    but if I sacrifice 70% of
    the muscle fiber in my legs,
[07:47] ---
    I should catch up to them
    in roughly 180 seconds.
[07:51] ---
    You can't.
[07:53] ---
    We'll pursue them once we're better prepared.
[07:56] ---
    I don't want to create any more unhappiness.
[08:00] ---
    This was made by an
    Antiskill vehicle, all right.
[08:03] ---
    But vehicles of this type were all
    supposed to have been disposed of.
[08:07] ---
    If this kind of vehicle was used...
[08:10] ---
    Then sure enough...
[08:12] ---
    It's those guys, isn't it?
[08:16] ---
    DA strikes again.
[08:17] ---
    "Operating"
[08:19] ---
    For goodness sake, what
    is it with my patients?
[08:23] ---
    Why can't they ever seem to stay still?
[08:32] ---
    U-i-ha-ru!
[08:41] ---
    --Jeez, why do you always do that?!
    --Okay, I'm sorry!
[08:46] ---
    Setting that aside for now...
[08:47] ---
    But you never really set it aside.
[08:50] ---
    ...I heard the greatest story, you know?
[08:52] ---
    Another urban legend?
[08:55] ---
    Now, now, don't be like that.
[08:59] ---
    So anyway, somewhere
    underneath Academy City,
[09:02] ---
    there are subway trains running
    that nobody has a solid grasp of,
[09:05] ---
    and get this--one of them is the
    "subway train that runs forever,"
[09:08] ---
    which has never once
    stopped at a single station!
[09:12] ---
    There you go again
    with another half-baked rumor.
[09:16] ---
    I'm telling you, it's not half-baked!
[09:18] ---
    Somebody once saw it.
[09:25] ---
    The subway train that always runs isn't
    even remotely like any other train.
[09:30] ---
    Yes, as you wish.
[09:33] ---
    Can I ask you to wait just a moment, please?
[09:43] ---
    Forgive me for interrupting
    your dinner, Mr. Breeder.
[09:46] ---
    I believe at the moment,
    you're passing under School District 7?
[09:49] ---
    Imagine, one of Academy City's top leaders
    on a train that runs all the time...
[09:54] ---
    Are you that afraid to allow
    your location to be made known?
[09:59] ---
    Feel free to call me Nakimoto now.
    We may as well be open.
[10:03] ---
    And I will call you Hishigata,
    instead of Dachshund.
[10:08] ---
    There's something I need
    to speak to you about.
[10:10] ---
    What is it?
[10:11] ---
    I don't want my plan to
    be disrupted by small-timers.
[10:15] ---
    I already haven't obtained
    something that I should have,
[10:18] ---
    and I would hate to have any more
    of my upcoming activities obstructed.
[10:22] ---
    I see. You're saying that
    DA is going too far?
[10:26] ---
    That's what I'm saying.
    We're on the same page.
[10:29] ---
    Indeed, having another
    full-blown action in public view,
[10:32] ---
    like that one at the healthcare facility,
    would be hard to accept.
[10:38] ---
    In any event,
[10:40] ---
    as a member of the city's governing board,
    I appreciate your input.
[10:45] ---
    So I can look forward to
    the situation improving, then?
[10:50] ---
    Goodbye.
[10:54] ---
    Heh, I like an old man who gets my snark.
[11:04] ---
    DA...
[11:05] ---
    As an organization with
    technical skill and the ability to act,
[11:09] ---
    I thought they would be of some use to me,
[11:11] ---
    but apparently, they're too out of control.
[11:14] ---
    It may be about time to cut them out.
[11:16] ---
    This will be a good opportunity
    to put Scavenger to the test.
[11:20] ---
    Are you sure? Like I always say,
    once they're let loose on the world,
[11:24] ---
    they're completely out of our hands.
[11:26] ---
    You really are sure about this?
[11:29] ---
    Okay, okay!
[11:30] ---
    Okay! Okay! Okay!
[11:32] ---
    Okay!
[11:43] ---
    Okay, everyone, gather around.
[11:49] ---
    Eyes up here!
[11:52] ---
    Time to go to work.
[12:18] ---
    Dr. Matsumoto, from Internal Medicine,
    please report to Exam Room 3, stat.
[12:22] ---
    Dr. Matsumoto, from Internal
    Medicine, please report to Exam Room 3, stat.
[12:28] ---
    There's nothing wrong
    with the hospital. Which means,
[12:32] ---
    he ran the hell away without giving me
    another thought after I collapsed.
[12:36] ---
    Damn it, these villains are
    rotten through and through.
[12:39] ---
    Blondie isn't around, either.
    Did she go after the guy who escaped?
[12:43] ---
    I doubt she's forgotten that
    she's being chased after, as well.
[12:54] ---
    Ah, you're awake.
[12:56] ---
    "I was so worried, I made
    sure I stayed awake,
[12:59] ---
    but when it really counted, I was asleep!"
[13:01] ---
    says Misaka Misaka, caught up
    in a terrible pang of regret!
[13:16] ---
    Are you okay?
[13:20] ---
    Of course I am.
[13:21] ---
    "Do you want something to eat?"
    asks Misaka Misaka, inwardly feeling uneasy,
[13:25] ---
    afraid that you'll ask for an apple,
[13:28] ---
    since she is unable to peel an apple,
    and would be up a creek.
[13:31] ---
    No, I don't.
[13:34] ---
    Actually, get me a can of coffee.
    I take it black.
[13:37] ---
    There should be some in the
    vending machine on the first floor.
[13:40] ---
    The doctor said stimulants
    would be a bad idea,
[13:43] ---
    but in your case, it's sure to be medicinal!
[13:45] ---
    Which is why Misaka Misaka
    will go sneak down and buy some!
[13:49] ---
    "Oh, come to think of it,
[13:51] ---
    I don't have any money,"
    says Misaka Misaka, staring you down,
[13:56] ---
    waiting for you to hand over your money card.
[14:00] ---
    Thank you!
[14:01] ---
    Okay, I'll go buy it!
[14:08] ---
    So, what do you want?
[14:14] ---
    Are you here to laugh at the mess I am?
[14:17] ---
    "You look too pitiful to be called a mess,"
[14:20] ---
    replies Misaka, gazing at you
    who got hurt saving the host individual.
[14:26] ---
    I didn't do it to save all of you.
    I just did it because I wanted to.
[14:32] ---
    Misaka is denying shared
    memory access temporarily,
[14:34] ---
    so that the host individual
    does not find out,
[14:36] ---
    but it is only a matter of time.
[14:39] ---
    Here.
[14:40] ---
    What is it?
[14:41] ---
    Misaka is in possession of a letter
    for you from the blond foreign lady.
[14:46] ---
    "A civilian has been abducted.
    Going to retrieve her"
[14:46] ---
    What kind of penmanship is this?
    Is she a kid? With those looks?
[14:51] ---
    "Misaka wrote it down for her,"
[14:53] ---
    answers Misaka, flummoxed by the
    unexpected appraisal of her handwriting.
[14:58] ---
    Misaka feels self-assured based on
    the knowledge gained from shojo manga
[15:01] ---
    that having cute handwriting can
    be effective when writing love letters.
[15:06] ---
    Abducted?
[15:09] ---
    The civilian individual stated
    as being abducted is still unharmed.
[15:12] ---
    How can you know that?
[15:14] ---
    "The civilian... is No. 10046," says Misaka,
[15:19] ---
    disclosing the information
    she declines to share with Last Order.
[15:23] ---
    What?
[15:26] ---
    "Yoshikawa Kikyo"
[15:30] ---
    Oh, you answered. I heard the
    Frog Doctor had to take care of you again,
[15:36] ---
    but I guess you're well enough
    to answer your phone, huh?
[15:38] ---
    Buzz off. I don't have time to waste, here.
    State your business.
[15:42] ---
    I took the trouble to call you regarding
    the matter you asked me about,
[15:46] ---
    so maybe your treatment
    of me is a little bit mean.
[15:49] ---
    Okay, so get on with it.
[15:50] ---
    The kid is gonna figure out
    that something isn't right pretty soon.
[15:54] ---
    Something bad is happening
    that involves her again, huh?
[15:58] ---
    Well, okay.
[15:59] ---
    Tch.
[16:00] ---
    I learned a few things about DA.
[16:03] ---
    DA is an abbreviation for
    "Disciplinary Action,"
[16:06] ---
    of the punitive measure variety.
[16:08] ---
    They're kind of like a
    mutual aid society within Antiskill.
[16:11] ---
    At least, that's what they
    publicly claim to be,
[16:13] ---
    but in actuality, they're a secret society.
    And a fairly nasty one, at that.
[16:17] ---
    I know well enough that they're scum
    and an insult to real villainy.
[16:21] ---
    Yes. They'll resort to anything to
    bring about what they call their "justice."
[16:27] ---
    It was started by members
[16:29] ---
    who were reprimanded for carrying
    their peacekeeping actions too far,
[16:32] ---
    so maybe that's to be expected.
[16:35] ---
    The problem is, they have
    a lot of sympathizers.
[16:39] ---
    Sympathizers?
[16:41] ---
    DA has grown with the help of members
    and former members of Antiskill
[16:45] ---
    who espouse the same ideals,
[16:47] ---
    and who provide them with lots
    of information, funding, and tech.
[16:51] ---
    When evil spreads,
    it invites even more, powerful evil.
[16:55] ---
    In DA's case, that includes
    powerful movers and shakers,
[16:59] ---
    defense firms that ended up being rejected,
[17:01] ---
    not to mention a dangerous neuroscientist.
[17:06] ---
    Scientist, huh?
[17:09] ---
    On the other hand, one of the bigwigs
    who had been showing favor to DA
[17:13] ---
    must have thought that DA's
    extreme actions were becoming a nuisance,
[17:17] ---
    and apparently, just started
    taking action to have them purged.
[17:22] ---
    As a result, there's whole lot of
    danger looming around DA right now.
[17:27] ---
    Which is exactly why Antiskill,
[17:28] ---
    which had been primarily
    shut down by this bigwig up to now,
[17:32] ---
    may be going into action against them.
[17:35] ---
    If you're planning to get involved in
    this matter, make sure you're careful.
[17:39] ---
    None of that matters to me.
[17:43] ---
    If I don't like who or what someone is,
    no matter who they may be, I kill them.
[17:48] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[17:54] ---
    Sorry to make you do this.
[17:55] ---
    It is not a problem. If I allocate
    60% of my brain's capacity to this,
[18:01] ---
    it is possible for me to raise
    my sense of smell temporarily.
[18:05] ---
    Analysis complete. This way.
[18:08] ---
    All right, let's hurry.
[18:12] ---
    It appears some foolish evil
    has gone into action.
[18:15] ---
    Nakimoto has done much to help our cause,
[18:18] ---
    but apparently, he can no
    longer understand our lofty ideals.
[18:22] ---
    Worldly snobs are always such an annoyance.
[18:24] ---
    I-Isn't it a bad idea to turn
    the governing board against us?
[18:28] ---
    What are you saying, you weakling?!
[18:30] ---
    I thought we swore to eliminate all
    our enemies for the cause of justice!
[18:35] ---
    Fainthearted defeatists must be purged!
[18:38] ---
    Fainthearted defeatists
    must be purged!
[18:40] ---
    Fainthearted defeatists must be purged.
[18:43] ---
    S-Sorry, you're right.
[18:46] ---
    We did resolve to give up
    our lives for the sake of justice.
[18:49] ---
    I-I admit I was wrong.
[18:51] ---
    No matter. We are now more than
    equipped to oppose the governing board.
[18:58] ---
    This only means that the time has
    come to use our power against all evil.
[19:03] ---
    Why don't we teach them a lesson
    about the strength of our justice?
[19:07] ---
    And in doing so, we'll bring
    about true peace in Academy City!
[19:12] ---
    Sheesh, these guys must have
    nothing better to do. Mm-hmm.
[19:22] ---
    Ah, that reminds me. That idiot
    who ran out in the middle of his mission
[19:26] ---
    brought a hostage back
    to the base, of all things.
[19:30] ---
    I want her. Would you mind?
[19:32] ---
    All right. I'll have her sent to you.
[19:35] ---
    Thanks a lot, mm-hmm.
[19:37] ---
    But why do you seek that individual?
[19:40] ---
    For the cause of justice, of course.
[19:43] ---
    I'm not interested in
    anything other than justice.
[19:53] ---
    The more I investigate, the more
    they come out of the woodwork.
[19:56] ---
    DA is a nest of terrorists.
    Why did none of this ever come out before,
[20:02] ---
    but now, the information
    is suddenly showing up?
[20:05] ---
    And from what I'm seeing,
    the equipment DA has
[20:09] ---
    is slightly superior to Antiskill's
    state-of-the-art stuff.
[20:12] ---
    We'd best consider them to be
    a significantly dangerous organization.
[20:17] ---
    What is an Antiskill member who went missing
[20:18] ---
    after his extreme subjugation of
    a student left them half-paralyzed
[20:22] ---
    doing in this lineup?
[20:25] ---
    This one illegally diverted Antiskill
    weapons and was dismissed.
[20:29] ---
    I remember he sent them
    to a hostile organization,
[20:31] ---
    with the goal of wiping out
    terrorists, or something.
[20:35] ---
    It's almost as though the dark underbelly
    of Antiskill is assembled here...
[20:44] ---
    Explosion at a warehouse in the 3rd District!
[20:48] ---
    "Estimated scope of DA hideouts"
    "3rd District warehouse area, Warehouse 5"
[20:51] ---
    So are we done earning some spare change?
[20:53] ---
    Did you get a complete headcount?
[20:55] ---
    Aww... As completely
    wiped out as this place is,
[20:59] ---
    wouldn't that usually mean the job is over?
[21:02] ---
    This isn't the only target location;
    was this everyone?
[21:07] ---
    Did anyone see someone carrying
    a bag big enough to stick a girl inside?
[21:11] ---
    There, you see?
[21:12] ---
    You're kidding me!
[21:13] ---
    Listen, this is business.
[21:16] ---
    We've been hired to eradicate
    this "DA" organization entirely.
[21:20] ---
    If we fail to kill any targets,
[21:23] ---
    forget about small change,
    it'll be breach of contract.
[21:25] ---
    Wah! So, what do we do?
[21:31] ---
    It's okay, it's okay. Do you think a mere
    human can escape from my Predator?
[21:49] ---
    Heh, your ability always
    smacks of some clammy stalker.
[21:59] ---
    Found you.
[22:01] ---
    
[22:03] ---
    
[23:34] ---
    "Next time"
[23:36] ---
    "DA"
