    "A Certain Magical Index"
[00:01] ---
    "Side Story"
[00:08] ---
    Aw, what are you doing?
[00:10] ---
    Oh, jeez...
[00:11] ---
    Wah!
[00:12] ---
    It's not working anymore!
[00:15] ---
    Maybe the battery is run down.
[00:16] ---
    We just barely charged it.
[00:19] ---
    Here, let me see it.
[00:22] ---
    Hmm, maybe it really is broken.
[00:25] ---
    What are you talking about, dummy?
    Let me see it.
[00:38] ---
    My telekinesis just isn't enough.
[00:41] ---
    Okay, I'll use my ability now!
[00:44] ---
    You dummy! You'll just burn it!
[00:47] ---
    Can I see it?
[00:52] ---
    What was that?!
[00:53] ---
    She shocked it!
[00:54] ---
    So that's it. It's
    disconnected on the inside.
[00:58] ---
    Here, let me handle this.
[01:02] ---
    Okay, use your telekinesis to hold
    that wire down to the base plate.
[01:07] ---
    Like this?
[01:08] ---
    Mm-hmm. Now, use the heat of
    your pyrokinesis to melt this solder.
[01:13] ---
    Am I doing it right?
[01:13] ---
    Yes, that's it.
[01:18] ---
    Awesome!
[01:19] ---
    It's fixed!
[01:20] ---
    Thank you, miss--
[01:22] ---
    Huh?
[01:23] ---
    She was there just a moment ago.
[01:24] ---
    Hey, she had on a
    Tokiwadai Middle School uniform, right?
[01:27] ---
    --That super-prestigious
    school for young ladies?
[01:29] ---
    --Thank you, shorts-wearing lady.
    --That super-prestigious school for young ladies?
[01:30] ---
    --Thank you, shorts-wearing lady.
    --So that's what that was?
[01:31] ---
    --Thank you, shorts-wearing lady.
    --That's right.
[01:33] ---
    I really do make too many pit-stops!
[01:37] ---
    Academy City--
[01:38] ---
    It occupies a whopping one-third of Tokyo,
[01:41] ---
    with a total population of 2.3 million.
[01:44] ---
    The students, who make up
    roughly 80 percent of that figure,
[01:47] ---
    devote themselves to nurturing
    and improving their abilities daily.
[01:52] ---
    The pinnacle of which are the Level 5s.
[01:56] ---
    As expansive as Academy City is,
[01:58] ---
    only seven people are recognized
    to have met that qualification.
[02:03] ---
    And they are the ones
    who are our current targets!
[02:07] ---
    Are you serious, sir?
[02:08] ---
    We're talking about a bunch of pretty
    conspicuously morally bankrupt people!
[02:12] ---
    I hear that some are
    members of dark side outfits,
[02:14] ---
    "Second-ranked: Kakine Teitoku"
[02:14] ---
    whose hands are dirty
    with illegal activities.
[02:17] ---
    "Fourth-ranked: Mugino Shizuri"
[02:19] ---
    Do you think we can really win them over?
[02:21] ---
    Then again, this will be transmitted to not
    just Academy City, but the entire world,
[02:26] ---
    so to put on a real demonstration,
[02:28] ---
    the higher-ups have instructed us
    to use the top-class espers.
[02:32] ---
    Yeah, but still...
[02:33] ---
    If the decision comes from above,
[02:35] ---
    "Steering Committee"
[02:36] ---
    we have no other choice.
[02:37] ---
    We need at least two Level 5s
    to take the athlete's pledge.
[02:44] ---
    Make use of all your connections
    to negotiate with them!
[02:50] ---
    Wow...
[02:50] ---
    "Daihasei Festival"
[02:51] ---
    So they're holding this event now.
[02:53] ---
    Wow, I can't wait for the Daihasei Festival.
[02:57] ---
    All of Academy City's schools come together,
[02:59] ---
    "Site for the three-legged race"
[03:00] ---
    for seven days, at that,
    and hold a sports festival.
[03:04] ---
    There's nothing like it anywhere else.
[03:06] ---
    Yes, indeed...
[03:08] ---
    Uiharu?
[03:09] ---
    Oh, uh, during the Daihasei Festival,
[03:13] ---
    a lot of people will be coming into
    Academy City from the outside, right?
[03:17] ---
    As a member of Judgment,
    I have to remain focused.
[03:21] ---
    Besides...
[03:22] ---
    if something else were to happen
    because I make a mistake...
[03:27] ---
    U-i-ha-ru!!
[03:31] ---
    Oh, polka-dots!
[03:33] ---
    Mm-hmm, the standards never go out of style.
[03:36] ---
    What did you do that for, Saten?!
[03:40] ---
    When you're off-duty from Judgment, at least,
[03:43] ---
    you could stand to relax a little.
[03:45] ---
    Everyone knows that you always do your best.
[03:50] ---
    Oh, Miss Saten...
[03:51] ---
    Hey!
[03:53] ---
    Miss Uiharu! Miss Saten!
[03:54] ---
    Sorry to keep you.
[04:03] ---
    --Sissy!
    --Hello!
[04:05] ---
    How are you doing, Shirai?
[04:07] ---
    We came to check up on you.
[04:09] ---
    --Oh, okay, okay, thank you very--
[04:10] ---
    --How are you, Kuroko?
    --Oh, okay, okay, thank you very--
[04:12] ---
    Feeling any better?
[04:14] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[04:14] ---
    Sissy!!
[04:19] ---
    Huh? The athlete's pledge
    at the opening ceremonies?
[04:23] ---
    You mean, for the Daihasei Festival?!
[04:25] ---
    They want you, Sissy?
[04:26] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[04:27] ---
    One of the teachers grabbed me
    while I was leaving.
[04:31] ---
    Miss Misaka,
[04:32] ---
    you've had experience
    doing demonstrations in Russia,
[04:36] ---
    and there are some who think
    you would be a fitting representative
[04:39] ---
    of Tokiwadai Middle School.
[04:41] ---
    Oh...
[04:43] ---
    The final decision is yours.
[04:46] ---
    Yep.
[04:47] ---
    Isn't that incredible, Misaka?
[04:49] ---
    The Daihasei Festival opening ceremony
[04:51] ---
    is supposed to be broadcast
    to the entire world, right?
[04:54] ---
    Miss Misaka, you'll be going worldwide!
[04:57] ---
    Of course Sissy would be.
[05:00] ---
    Actually, that sort of thing
    isn't really my style.
[05:03] ---
    Then again,
[05:04] ---
    I'm sure your parents
    will be delighted, won't they?
[05:07] ---
    Hmm, I'm not so sure.
[05:10] ---
    I suppose no longer having
    Sissy all to myself
[05:14] ---
    is something that I will lament.
[05:16] ---
    Kuroko?
[05:18] ---
    We'll all be rooting for you together.
[05:19] ---
    Huh? Shirai, can you make it
    to the opening ceremony?
[05:23] ---
    Yes.
[05:24] ---
    I am scheduled to be discharged by then.
[05:26] ---
    Though I will not be able to compete.
[05:29] ---
    Pity that all that training
    I did with you will be for nothing.
[05:34] ---
    Yeah, "training."
[05:35] ---
    --Easy! Kuroko! Enough...
    --Sissy! Tighter! Hold me tighter!
[05:40] ---
    ...already!
[05:42] ---
    Hmm, well, nothing anyone can do about that.
[05:44] ---
    Oh, no. I will not leave you
    in the lurch, Sissy.
[05:48] ---
    You just let old Kuroko take care of this!
[05:51] ---
    Ah, then let's all go there together
    that day to show our support!
[05:55] ---
    While I appreciate the invitation,
    I have my work with Judgment.
[06:00] ---
    Huh? Miss Shirai,
    you're returning to work already?
[06:03] ---
    Of course I am.
[06:05] ---
    Once I am out of the hospital,
    there are any number of things I can do.
[06:12] ---
    It sure is great that Shirai
    is in good spirits, huh?
[06:16] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm.
[06:18] ---
    It sure is.
[06:19] ---
    Yeah, but still,
[06:20] ---
    she seemed like she was only acting happy.
[06:22] ---
    Acting happy?
[06:24] ---
    Yep. To keep from worrying us.
[06:28] ---
    You're right. That's just like Kuroko.
[06:31] ---
    Oh. All right,
[06:33] ---
    I'm going to try hard, too,
    so Miss Shirai doesn't worry about me!
[06:36] ---
    Yeah, but you always try hard, Uiharu.
[06:39] ---
    Even harder!
[06:41] ---
    Well, maybe I will, too--
[06:42] ---
    Oh, no.
[06:43] ---
    As long as Miss Shirai has you,
    she doesn't need anything else.
[06:48] ---
    Does she really not need
    anything else, though?
[06:54] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[06:56] ---
    Miss Kongo, and Miss Wannai
    and Miss Awatsuki, too.
[06:59] ---
    Good afternoon, Miss Misaka.
[07:01] ---
    Good afternoon.
[07:03] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm.
[07:04] ---
    Is something the matter?
[07:06] ---
    Huh? Oh, no, not really.
[07:09] ---
    If there is something troubling you,
[07:11] ---
    by all means, turn to me,
    your best partner, Kongo Mitsuko!
[07:15] ---
    Partner?
[07:16] ---
    Miss Kongo!
[07:17] ---
    You aren't supposed to talk about that.
[07:19] ---
    Huh? Ah! H-How could I do such a thing?!
[07:23] ---
    Kuroko did?
[07:24] ---
    Yes. Yesterday, when we went to visit her.
[07:27] ---
    We must have just missed
    each other, Miss Misaka.
[07:30] ---
    So anyhow, Miss Shirai
    said that she wanted me
[07:33] ---
    to pair up with you during the competition.
[07:36] ---
    Miss Shirai said that she would
    tell you directly, but look what I did.
[07:41] ---
    Is that what she meant
    when she said she'd take care of it?
[07:43] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[07:45] ---
    Mm-mm, thanks. I second
    that request for help.
[07:49] ---
    I'm looking forward to it, Miss Kongo.
[07:52] ---
    R-Right! I-I, um... look
    forward to it as well.
[07:57] ---
    I'll have to go and thank Kuroko, too.
[08:00] ---
    Ah, in that case...
[08:03] ---
    Huh... there are a lot of shops
    I'm unfamiliar with.
[08:08] ---
    This looks yummy.
[08:11] ---
    Queen?
[08:12] ---
    Oh, Miss Misaka!
[08:14] ---
    Ugh.
[08:15] ---
    It's against the rules to read
    something like that at school.
[08:19] ---
    For someone important enough to be
    chosen for the Daihasei athlete's pledge
[08:23] ---
    that's a pretty brash attitude.
[08:26] ---
    It's not as though I've been chosen yet.
[08:29] ---
    I mean, I'm sure you've
    gotten an offer, too, right,
[08:32] ---
    Miss Shokuho Misaki, Level 5?
[08:35] ---
    Oh, is that right, Queen?
[08:37] ---
    Keep quiet.
[08:40] ---
    Something like that would be
    nothing but a bother for me.
[08:44] ---
    That is why I stepped
    aside for you, Miss Misaka.
[08:52] ---
    Listen, you!
[08:53] ---
    That EM barrier of yours is such a nuisance.
[08:56] ---
    It keeps my Mental Out tampering
    powers from working on you.
[09:00] ---
    "Shokuho Misaki"
    "Fifth Ranked"
    "Mental Out"
[09:02] ---
    Oh, I know!
[09:03] ---
    Perhaps some endorsements would be useful.
[09:10] ---
    Well, everyone?
[09:13] ---
    We think that Miss Misaka would be
    fitting for the athlete's pledge.
[09:19] ---
    Just kidding.
[09:23] ---
    Oh, Miss Misaka, good afternoon.
[09:26] ---
    Wait, when did I stand up?
[09:29] ---
    You know what?
[09:30] ---
    There's something the matter with you.
    All that, just to knock me?
[09:35] ---
    Say whatever you will, it's who I am.
[09:39] ---
    Anyhow, stop harassing me.
[09:43] ---
    I am well aware of how much you dislike me.
[09:48] ---
    It may be more than just simple "dislike."
[09:50] ---
    "#1: Super-powered (Level 5)"
[09:54] ---
    Huh?!
[09:55] ---
    Hmm?
[09:56] ---
    The Daihasei Festival athlete's pledge?
[09:59] ---
    "Mugino Shizuri"
    "Fourth Ranked"
    "Meltdowner"
[09:59] ---
    That's right.
[10:00] ---
    What possible benefit is there for me,
    who works on the dark side,
[10:03] ---
    to have my face publicly revealed?
[10:05] ---
    What is it?
[10:06] ---
    Who cares? Your public face
    could be that of an idol,
[10:09] ---
    and your other face can be
    that of a hunter in the darkness.
[10:11] ---
    Your face is pretty, at least.
[10:13] ---
    You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you?
[10:15] ---
    I'm not doing it.
    And stop asking me for things like this.
[10:18] ---
    It's always like this with you.
[10:20] ---
    I could say the same about you.
[10:22] ---
    Hello! Say, I wouldn't mind
    doing it in her place.
[10:27] ---
    You! Work! On! The! Dark! Side! Too!
[10:33] ---
    'Sup? Sorry I'm late--
[10:36] ---
    What happened here?! An enemy attack?!
[10:39] ---
    No, no.
[10:40] ---
    He just went a little crazy.
[10:42] ---
    He very nearly dragged me in, too.
[10:46] ---
    Who, Kakine?
[10:47] ---
    We got a call from our usual agent, see?
[10:50] ---
    Asking if he'd take the
    Daihasei Festival athlete's pledge.
[10:54] ---
    For real?
[10:56] ---
    And, of course, he refused,
[10:58] ---
    but they wouldn't take no for an answer.
[11:01] ---
    And when the annoyance built up...
[11:03] ---
    Don't give me that! The Daihasei Festival
[11:07] ---
    is a game for kids who still believe
    in things like "effort" and "hope."
[11:11] ---
    --Then they came back with "But visually,
    you appeal to those kinds of kids."
[11:13] ---
    --Come along, children!
    --Then they came back with "But visually,
    you appeal to those kinds of kids."
[11:17] ---
    Did you just laugh?
[11:20] ---
    "Kakine Teitoku"
    "Second Ranked"
    "Dark Matter"
[11:28] ---
    Looking good, there,
[11:30] ---
    Accelerator.
[11:33] ---
    "Accelerator"
    "First Ranked"
    "Accelerator"
[11:33] ---
    It's been awhile.
[11:35] ---
    Not since Project Level
    6 Shift got derailed--
[11:39] ---
    What do you want from me now?
[11:42] ---
    You want to have me
    kill some more clones for you?
[11:46] ---
    N-No!
[11:47] ---
    --Hear me out!
    --Get lost.
[11:50] ---
    Just let me finish!
[11:51] ---
    I'm here about the Daiha--
[11:55] ---
    I'm too busy babysitting.
    Never speak to me again.
[12:00] ---
    And there you have it.
[12:01] ---
    Negotiating with the fourth-,
    second-, and first-ranked was a bust.
[12:06] ---
    Word is that the negotiator
    we assigned to the first-ranked
[12:09] ---
    was discovered gravely injured
    and clinging to life.
[12:12] ---
    Is this request really
    that disagreeable to them?
[12:17] ---
    Sir,
[12:18] ---
    what about the sixth-ranked?
[12:20] ---
    The thing is, we have intel on so
    many people who he's supposed to be.
[12:25] ---
    Should we just start
    negotiating with all of them?
[12:28] ---
    No, that's okay. I get the feeling
    we're better off not even going there.
[12:31] ---
    Which means,
[12:32] ---
    "3rd-ranked: Misaka Mikoto"
    "5th-ranked: Shokuho Misaki"
    "6th-ranked: Aihana Etsu"
[12:32] ---
    the only remaining Level 5s are...
[12:34] ---
    Ugh, a line?
[12:37] ---
    Must have something to do with this.
[12:39] ---
    Huh?
[12:40] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:41] ---
    Seems like I just saw
    that girl inside the store.
[12:43] ---
    What do you mean, like a doppelgänger?
[12:48] ---
    Gah!
[12:51] ---
    So?
[12:52] ---
    You're supposed to be in the hospital.
    What are you doing here?
[12:56] ---
    "What is Misaka doing?
[12:59] ---
    Does it look like something
    other than purchasing cake?"
[13:02] ---
    asks Misaka, presenting a question.
[13:04] ---
    No, I mean...
[13:06] ---
    "We heard a rumor about some delicious cake.
[13:09] ---
    Owing to the contest that followed,
[13:11] ---
    this Misaka came here
    as the delegate to buy one,"
[13:14] ---
    says Misaka, remembering the fierce
    competition and wiping away her sweat.
[13:18] ---
    Pretty independent, huh?
[13:19] ---
    Oh, how cute!
[13:21] ---
    Twins?
[13:22] ---
    Must be middle-schoolers.
[13:23] ---
    Sure is neat, being twins
    with matching uniforms.
[13:26] ---
    "However, as your clones, Big Sister,
[13:29] ---
    when we are occasionally spotted
    in your sphere of activity,
[13:33] ---
    it must be an inconvenience for you.
[13:36] ---
    --From here on--"
    --It sure is.
[13:38] ---
    It gets to be a pain explaining it,
    but that's okay.
[13:42] ---
    I did promise that I would
    help you all find a meaning in life.
[13:50] ---
    Big Sister...
[13:51] ---
    Okay, so I'm going to start
    by buying myself a cake--
[13:54] ---
    "By the way...
[13:55] ---
    ...to purchase any items in that store,
[13:58] ---
    you will need a numbered ticket,
    which have already all been distributed.
[14:02] ---
    Do you have one of those?" inquires Misaka.
[14:06] ---
    Ugh, you have to have one?
    Aw, man, that means...
[14:10] ---
    There are four cakes in here for the
    Misakas who are waiting at the hospital.
[14:16] ---
    Also, for this Misaka, who was to
    have had a cake for coming to buy them,
[14:22] ---
    is an extra one.
[14:26] ---
    Wow, things are sure getting festive, huh?
[14:29] ---
    They are doing a lot of
    dry runs today all over.
[14:34] ---
    Miss Konori said that we need to be careful,
[14:36] ---
    since there will be more people getting
    carried away and causing disturbances.
[14:39] ---
    Hey! Fight! Fight! There's a fight
    in the plaza where the stage is!
[14:44] ---
    I told you, we were here first!
[14:47] ---
    Don't even try to pull that!
[14:48] ---
    We were clearly here first!
[14:50] ---
    Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
[14:52] ---
    We've been waiting here since yesterday!
[14:54] ---
    --We were here two days ago!
[14:54] ---
    --Wow, they're really going at it.
    --We were here two days ago!
[14:55] ---
    --Wow, they're really going at it.
    --Yeah, screw you!
[14:57] ---
    --Is this getting out of hand?
    --No, screw you!
[14:58] ---
    Maybe we should contact Antiskill.
[15:01] ---
    Ah, this is going nowhere!
[15:02] ---
    I could say the same!
[15:04] ---
    The stronger side wins!
    That's the rule here in Academy City!
[15:07] ---
    Bring it on!
[15:08] ---
    Can you wave this big of a squad flag?!
[15:20] ---
    Your strength is only
    because of your ability!
[15:23] ---
    However, it comes with
    the condition of being unable to move!
[15:26] ---
    Don't underestimate
    our aptitude for surveillance!
[15:29] ---
    Is that...?
[15:30] ---
    And my ability is one that lets me
    briefly cause a gust of wind!
[15:36] ---
    Can you make this many flags flutter?!
[15:41] ---
    They both have fairly
    niche abilities. Right, Uiharu--
[15:48] ---
    Excuse me!
[15:50] ---
    Y-You are bothering everyone
    else, so please stop fighting!
[15:55] ---
    Huh? Who the hell are you?!
[15:57] ---
    For what reason are you
    trying to rein in our activities?!
[16:02] ---
    I-I am with Judgment!
[16:05] ---
    --Uiharu! Come on!
    --Judgment? So what?
[16:07] ---
    According to accepted convention,
[16:09] ---
    it is clear that you have no right
    to stop a quarrel among men!
[16:12] ---
    In other words,
[16:13] ---
    you keep out of this, girly!
[16:16] ---
    Uiharu!
[16:23] ---
    I-It doesn't have anything to do
    with being boys or girls!
[16:28] ---
    Indeed not!
[16:36] ---
    You are correct.
[16:37] ---
    What's important isn't
    whether you're a boy or a girl.
[16:41] ---
    Huh?
[16:42] ---
    It's guts!
[16:44] ---
    What?
[16:45] ---
    Huh?
[16:45] ---
    He hasn't been to school?
[16:47] ---
    No, not for two or three days now.
[16:49] ---
    Are you sure he's all right?
[16:51] ---
    Yeah, at times like this,
    he's usually off helping someone.
[16:57] ---
    Oh, but everything is all right.
[16:59] ---
    He accepts your request.
[17:02] ---
    Huh? I need to hear it from him.
[17:04] ---
    He's someone who can never turn down a favor.
[17:08] ---
    That's just the sort of boy Sogiita Gunha is.
[17:13] ---
    "Sogiita Gunha"
    "Seventh Ranked"
[17:15] ---
    Wh-Why, you...!
[17:17] ---
    How dare you kick
    a cheer squad's precious flag!
[17:20] ---
    That's a challenge to those
    of us on the cheer squads!
[17:23] ---
    Sounds good.
[17:25] ---
    Wh-What?!
[17:26] ---
    Go on, show me the kind of guts you've got!
[17:33] ---
    Amazing...
[17:38] ---
    ...Punch!
[17:43] ---
    Huh? Did you hear something?
[17:46] ---
    An explosion?
[17:47] ---
    Fireworks?
[17:48] ---
    We really did hear something, huh?
[17:49] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's about right.
[17:53] ---
    Wh--
[17:54] ---
    What are you doing?!
    P-People shouldn't hit people...!
[17:56] ---
    Hmm? Oh, it's okay.
    I made sure to pull my punch.
[18:01] ---
    No matter how gutless they are,
[18:03] ---
    it will take more than this to kill them.
[18:05] ---
    More than this?
[18:06] ---
    Compared to them,
[18:08] ---
    you've got some considerable guts, miss.
[18:10] ---
    Huh?
[18:12] ---
    See you around!
[18:16] ---
    Uiharu!
[18:20] ---
    Hold on! I'm coming, too!
[18:23] ---
    What was that just now?
[18:24] ---
    An explosion, right?
[18:25] ---
    --Amazing...
    --He just flew away!
[18:26] ---
    --Hey, that's bad, isn't it?
    --What kind of ability was that?
[18:28] ---
    That Judgment girl is still in there!
[18:33] ---
    Huh? Watch out, Uiharu!
[18:36] ---
    I've already contacted Antiskill!
[18:38] ---
    Miss Saten, you should get to safety!
[18:40] ---
    Never mind about me! Come on, let's hurry!
[18:44] ---
    R-Right!
[18:46] ---
    Look out!
[18:49] ---
    Get down!
[19:04] ---
    Amazing!
[19:06] ---
    That girl...
[19:08] ---
    Wearing a Tokiwadai uniform...
    with that ability...
[19:17] ---
    That's...
[19:18] ---
    ...the third-ranked... Railgun of Tokiwadai!
[19:20] ---
    "Misaka Mikoto"
    "Third Ranked"
    "Railgun"
[19:24] ---
    If she takes the athlete's pledge,
    the Daihasei Festival will be...
[19:27] ---
    On that subject...
[19:30] ---
    Ms. Watanabe?
[19:31] ---
    While she is a good student,
    but perhaps due to her notoriety,
[19:35] ---
    she often gets caught up in trouble.
[19:38] ---
    I was thinking of leaving it
    up to her to decide,
[19:42] ---
    but given the possibility
    of it creating more problems,
[19:46] ---
    I think we should forget
    we ever said anything.
[19:48] ---
    Huh?!
[19:50] ---
    Ah, it looks like Antiskill has arrived.
[19:53] ---
    I'm going to go report
    to them. See you later!
[19:56] ---
    Mm-hmm, thanks!
[19:58] ---
    Well, we should get going, too.
[20:01] ---
    Are you going to go see Shirai again today?
[20:03] ---
    Mm-hmm, and I have a gift
    to deliver to her...
[20:07] ---
    Oh...
[20:10] ---
    "Tokiwadai Middle School"
[20:10] ---
    Whoo.
[20:12] ---
    At last, our Queen has a proper offer.
[20:15] ---
    Hmm,
[20:17] ---
    after what I said to Miss Misaka,
    it just doesn't feel like a challenge.
[20:22] ---
    Why not accept the offer?
[20:25] ---
    Having you in the public notice
[20:28] ---
    makes my job easier, as well.
[20:32] ---
    Excuse me, but who are you?
[20:36] ---
    Jeez, I can't have you
    talking to me out of nowhere.
[20:40] ---
    It makes more work for me
    having to alter memories.
[20:44] ---
    So, have you found out
    anything about that matter?
[20:48] ---
    Yes.
[20:49] ---
    Then go ahead and tell me...
[20:52] ---
    ...about Misaka Mikoto's clones--
[20:54] ---
    the Sisters.
[20:57] ---
    Huh? You're no longer
    taking the athlete's pledge?
[21:01] ---
    Mm-mm. They said they
    settled on someone else.
[21:04] ---
    My word, there is no one
    more suitable than you, Sissy.
[21:09] ---
    Well, that's okay. Never mind that... Here!
[21:14] ---
    Apparently, it's quite the hot item.
[21:16] ---
    Sissy...
[21:18] ---
    Yeah, this is nice once in a while.
[21:22] ---
    Sissy--
[21:28] ---
    We did it!
[21:29] ---
    Yeah!
[21:30] ---
    We made it.
[21:31] ---
    You've done well, everyone.
[21:34] ---
    Still,
[21:36] ---
    why do I have an awfully
    bad feeling about this?
[21:40] ---
    Sorry I'm late. It took a while
    to explain everything... Huh?
[21:46] ---
    Um, Sissy? I can explain...
[21:49] ---
    Ku-ro-ko!!
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    Wow, the Daihasei Festival is beginning!
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#2 The Daihasei Festival"
[23:28] ---
    It sure is.
[23:30] ---
    Shirai, is something the matter?
[23:31] ---
    It looks like the frustration
    of not being able to compete
[23:34] ---
    together with Miss Misaka
    is finally getting to her.
[23:36] ---
    But wasn't she the one who asked Kongo?
[23:38] ---
    Sissy!!

[00:03] ---
    Honestly,
[00:05] ---
    that's quite the favor you're asking.
[00:07] ---
    I am terribly sorry, Miss Konori.
[00:10] ---
    Using only what is here in the hospital
[00:12] ---
    is a little inadequate
    to perform my Judgment duties.
[00:16] ---
    Sheesh, your wounds aren't
    even completely healed yet.
[00:20] ---
    Wow, those look painful.
[00:21] ---
    C-Could you please not use
    your clairvoyance ability in here?!
[00:29] ---
    Still, I'm serious.
[00:31] ---
    Don't push yourself too hard.
    Miss Uiharu is worried about you.
[00:36] ---
    Uiharu...
[00:38] ---
    ...must feel somewhat
    responsible for me getting hurt.
[00:42] ---
    She was the one who helped
    steer me into this situation.
[00:46] ---
    That's true.
[00:48] ---
    Which is exactly why I must
    get better as soon as possible.
[00:53] ---
    To keep her from taking more
    upon herself than is necessary.
[00:59] ---
    It turns out you two are cut
    from the same cloth, huh?
[01:02] ---
    Huh?
[01:03] ---
    Mm-mm, nothing.
[01:08] ---
    We did it!
[01:09] ---
    Yeah!
[01:10] ---
    We made it.
[01:12] ---
    You've done well, everyone.
[01:15] ---
    Still,
[01:17] ---
    why do I have an awfully bad feeling about this?
[01:24] ---
    The Daihasei Festival is about to begin!
[01:27] ---
    "Daihasei Festival"
[01:28] ---
    Here in the main stadium,
    during one of the few times
[01:30] ---
    that Academy City opens
    its doors to the outside world,
[01:34] ---
    the parents of the students,
    as well as many others, have come to visit.
[01:38] ---
    Ms. Watanabe!
[01:41] ---
    Long time no see!
    Another year's festival is starting.
[01:47] ---
    Ms. Tsukuyomi,
[01:49] ---
    why are you dressed like that?
[01:52] ---
    I have cheerleading to do.
[01:55] ---
    I understand that you're all worked up, but...
[01:59] ---
    Ah, that's right, Shokuho is taking
    the athlete's pledge this year.
[02:05] ---
    Yes. The plan was to have Level 5s
    carry out demonstrations this year.
[02:12] ---
    However...
[02:15] ---
    --The athlete's pledge!
    --The athlete's pledge!
[02:17] ---
    We will...
[02:18] ---
    We will...
[02:20] ---
    ...adhere to the ideals of sportsmanship
[02:22] ---
    as we undertake this year's Daihasei Festival...
[02:24] ---
    ...use our youthful dreams
    and fervent wills as our strength...
[02:28] ---
    ...and forge undying bonds with... bonds with...
[02:32] ---
    Aw, what was it again?
[02:35] ---
    Whatever! Do something or other
    with undying bonds and overflowing guts...
[02:41] ---
    --demonstrating what we learn daily,
    --showing off our daily training and guts,
[02:44] ---
    --showing our gratitude to our families...
    --displaying our bravery and guts
[02:47] ---
    --by showing the growth we've made...
    --to those who are rotten to the core,
[02:49] ---
    and ensuring that this event
    creates fantastic gutsy memories,
[02:53] ---
    we pledge to overcome
    all obstacles and hardships,
[02:56] ---
    getting back on our feet every time we stumble,
[02:59] ---
    and surmounting everything we must with guts!
[03:04] ---
    What was that?
[03:06] ---
    Looks like that got botched, huh?
[03:08] ---
    Yes...
[03:10] ---
    Um, this concludes our opening ceremonies.
[03:15] ---
    He upstaged me.
[03:33] ---
    "A Certain Magical Railgun T"
[04:50] ---
    The Daihasei Festival.
    An event that spans seven days,
[04:53] ---
    that gets held in Academy City every year--
[04:56] ---
    kind of like a large-scale field day!
[04:59] ---
    Unlike conventional athletic festivals,
[05:01] ---
    the Daihasei Festival has all
    of Academy City's students
[05:04] ---
    compete with their schools.
[05:06] ---
    The TV stations broadcast what's
    happening to the whole world!
[05:11] ---
    And the biggest difference
[05:13] ---
    is that all of the events
    have espers competing in them!
[05:18] ---
    And you know what?
[05:19] ---
    The result of all those
    espers' fierce competition
[05:21] ---
    is said to create a phenomenon
    that can't be seen anywhere else!
[05:26] ---
    You bean dat urban wegend aboud
    dat whadeber-ids-cawwed metal?
[05:30] ---
    Non, non! Shadow metal! Shadow metal!
[05:34] ---
    When dozens, even hundreds
    of esper abilities clash together,
[05:37] ---
    they say a new metal,
    one not found in nature, is created!
[05:42] ---
    The only chance of that happening
    is during the Daihasei Festival!
[05:46] ---
    What's more, it's so rare that it
    fetches an incredibly high price.
[05:51] ---
    --There's no choice but to look for it--
    --Saten!!
[05:57] ---
    Are you taking those rumors seriously again?!
[06:02] ---
    O-Oh, no. I was just kidding.
    Rumors are rumors. Even I know that.
[06:09] ---
    --One strawberry yakisoba, please.
    --Oh, no! You always say that,
    then get yourself into trouble!
[06:11] ---
    --Coming up.
    --Oh, no! You always say that,
    then get yourself into trouble!
[06:12] ---
    Being curious is fine, but please take
    a moment to consider the consequences!
[06:16] ---
    Ah!
[06:18] ---
    Misaka in her gym uniform, up on the monitor!
[06:20] ---
    Sissy?!
[06:23] ---
    In Lane 4 is this pair,
[06:25] ---
    from Tokiwadai Middle School,
    Misaka Mikoto and Kongo Mitsuko!
[06:30] ---
    "Block 7, Event 3"
    "Three-legged Race"
[06:30] ---
    And that is the lineup for the third
    event of Block 7, the three-legged race!
[06:35] ---
    Now to explain the rules.
[06:37] ---
    If the band around their ankles
    comes off, they are disqualified.
[06:40] ---
    Use of their abilities to directly
    harm other competitors is prohibited.
[06:44] ---
    Further, as a restriction
    on higher-level espers,
[06:47] ---
    Misaka is not permitted
    to use her electric shock ability.
[06:50] ---
    In other words, any non-electrical
    abilities are still okay, right?
[06:54] ---
    On your marks!
[06:57] ---
    So, is it fair to say that
    Tokiwadai is the favorite for this race?
[07:02] ---
    If they were simply
    throwing their abilities around
[07:03] ---
    until the others are knocked out, maybe,
[07:05] ---
    but within the framework of winning a race,
[07:08] ---
    depending on the tactics used,
    this could be quite eventful.
[07:11] ---
    Ha-ha-ha, thinking the others
    can do anything with their tricks?
[07:15] ---
    You do realize that we are Tokiwadai's
    Gods of Thunder when you say that, yes?
[07:21] ---
    We practiced a whole lot, too.
[07:23] ---
    And we fell down just as much.
    By the way, what's with that nickname?
[07:30] ---
    Incidentally, providing your play-by-play
    will be your usual pirate radio DJ, and...
[07:33] ---
    ...your belly-button-baring Katyusha.
[07:36] ---
    And here comes the starting gun!
[07:38] ---
    Get set!
[07:47] ---
    Wh-What is this?!
[07:50] ---
    See you later!
[07:51] ---
    Ah! Right from the start,
[07:53] ---
    the wrappings from the
    Airin Girls' High School contestants
[07:56] ---
    are clinging to the other like snakes!
[07:57] ---
    And now they are dashing off!
    What is happening?
[08:00] ---
    According to my data, she is a telekinesist.
[08:04] ---
    She can control anything she is in contact with.
[08:06] ---
    Her partner is an esper who can reduce
    anything she touches into raw materials.
[08:10] ---
    It appears that she broke
    down the track's pavement.
[08:13] ---
    That explains it. So the black
    on the wrappings is asphalt.
[08:16] ---
    It's sticky and starting to harden.
[08:19] ---
    It's not a bad move
    using it right out of the gate.
[08:22] ---
    How do you mean?
[08:23] ---
    With a few exceptions,
    most abilities have a limited range.
[08:27] ---
    Once they leave that range
    after first slowing the others down,
[08:30] ---
    they can leave the competition in the dust.
[08:32] ---
    That follows. Now,
[08:34] ---
    the other teams are starting
    to break their bonds.
[08:37] ---
    Damn it, my clothes are sticky and heavy now.
[08:39] ---
    It's a straight shot to
    the finish line for us now!
[08:47] ---
    Oh, there's been a development!
[08:50] ---
    What's this now?
[08:51] ---
    A-A hamster! But why?
[08:55] ---
    It's likely that Ninoude
    Affiliated Middle School
[08:57] ---
    set this up before the race.
[08:59] ---
    Those two are both rodent-specific telepaths.
[09:03] ---
    But won't it take more
    than that to slow them down?
[09:05] ---
    You sneaky little...!
[09:07] ---
    I believe the target is
    the band around their ankles.
[09:10] ---
    So that's it! The goal is to have
    the hamsters cut that, and disqualify them!
[09:15] ---
    Oh no you don't--
[09:17] ---
    Huh?!
[09:18] ---
    H-Hey, where are you--?
[09:23] ---
    Hmm, they chewed through
    their underwear straps by mistake.
[09:26] ---
    Hold it!
[09:27] ---
    They've slumped down unable to move!
    Good job, hamsters!
[09:31] ---
    Now, coming up from behind
    are Habatobi High and Tokiwadai.
[09:35] ---
    And here come the tiny assassins!
[09:38] ---
    Well, that seems about right.
[09:39] ---
    Hey! What are you doing
    to my cute little Kotaro?!
[09:43] ---
    Cram it! You don't like it,
    don't send them after us!
[09:47] ---
    What's this? Contestant Misaka is on her knees.
[09:50] ---
    Her EM field must be
    keeping the assassins at bay,
[09:54] ---
    and she appears to be in shock because of it.
[09:56] ---
    "100m dash contestant rendezvous point"
[09:58] ---
    Oh, my, the strength of
    everyone's youth is on display,
[10:02] ---
    and things are a confused mess.
[10:04] ---
    Well, if it were me, I would control the
    contestants and judges with Mental Out,
[10:10] ---
    and walk away as the winner
    without breaking a sweat.
[10:13] ---
    Oh, using it on those not
    in the race is against the rules.
[10:18] ---
    I'll take this.
[10:23] ---
    "#2 The Daihasei Festival"
[10:23] ---
    Huh?
[10:27] ---
    Okay, the third event of Block 7,
[10:29] ---
    the three-legged race,
    is entering the home stretch!
[10:31] ---
    Once they round this last corner,
    it's a straight shot to the finish line!
[10:36] ---
    The Habatobi High team,
    which has been pouring it on thus far,
[10:39] ---
    is now in the lead as they turn the last corner!
[10:45] ---
    Tokiwadai and Ninoude are close behind!
[10:48] ---
    This isn't over yet!
    I'm sure we can overtake them!
[10:52] ---
    S-Suits us just fine--
[10:54] ---
    Ah, what just happened?!
    Both teams have inexplicably slipped!
[10:58] ---
    Tokiwadai has stayed upright, thanks
    to Contestant Misaka's magnetism!
[11:02] ---
    Contestant Amime from Habatobi High's ability
[11:05] ---
    allows him to control the frictional
    coefficient of anything he touches.
[11:09] ---
    As we were rounding the corner,
    I touched the inside track!
[11:13] ---
    It only lasts a short time though,
    which can sometimes be a drag.
[11:15] ---
    Tokiwadai uses the
    centrifugal force to close the gap!
[11:19] ---
    Sure enough, it wasn't that easy.
[11:22] ---
    But still...!
[11:24] ---
    Oh! Contestant Amime has used his ability
[11:27] ---
    allowing them to speed up by skating!
[11:29] ---
    I can collect the moisture form the air,
    break it down, and ignite it!
[11:34] ---
    Harnessing the blast creates a rocket boost!
[11:36] ---
    We just have to make a break
    for the finish line! This is in the bag!
[11:42] ---
    Ow, that's hot!
[11:45] ---
    Uh-oh! Habatobi High has
    gone off course and out of bounds!
[11:52] ---
    Oh, no!
[11:56] ---
    What's this?! A gym mat has flown
    through the air, catching the pair!
[12:03] ---
    This dramatic rescue was
    of course performed by this team!
[12:07] ---
    Contestant Misaka pulled up
    the gym mat with her magnetism,
[12:10] ---
    and Contestant Kongo launched it
    toward them with her Aero Hand!
[12:14] ---
    One false step would have spelled a disaster,
[12:17] ---
    but that was an outstanding combination!
[12:21] ---
    Damn. If we hadn't screwed
    that up, we would have won.
[12:26] ---
    What is this?
[12:27] ---
    Huh?
[12:29] ---
    Iron filings?
[12:30] ---
    Back from when we were
    wrapped up in those bandages.
[12:33] ---
    I mixed iron into the
    asphalt before it hardened.
[12:37] ---
    I was planning to stop you
[12:39] ---
    if it looked like you were
    crossing the finish line first.
[12:41] ---
    But you saved me the trouble.
[12:43] ---
    Forgive me.
[12:46] ---
    She doesn't miss a trick.
[12:48] ---
    Is that something someone from
    such a prestigious school would do?
[12:50] ---
    Turns out we wouldn't
    have won no matter what we did.
[12:54] ---
    And now...
[12:56] ---
    The Tokiwadai team crosses the finish line!
[13:00] ---
    Such is the way things ended up,
[13:03] ---
    but if all the other schools
    had teamed up against Tokiwadai...
[13:07] ---
    Oh, amazing!
[13:09] ---
    Leabe id do dose dwo.
[13:11] ---
    If it were not for my injuries,
    I would be the one standing next to her!
[13:16] ---
    Ah! Kongo Mitsuko!
    I cannot see Sissy if you stand there!
[13:21] ---
    Damn it, how do I talk on this?
[13:24] ---
    Must be the latest model. I wish
    they hadn't given me this crazy phone.
[13:28] ---
    I can use a regular cell phone...
[13:32] ---
    If you pull that out on the side,
    the screen appears,
[13:36] ---
    and you can call them back
    from your call history.
[13:39] ---
    Oh, you're right. That was extremely helpful...
[13:44] ---
    Is something the matter?
[13:46] ---
    Oh, er, no...
[13:49] ---
    Mish Shaden, we're weabing!
[13:52] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm, okay!
[14:00] ---
    I-Is something wrong?
[14:02] ---
    Have we met somewhere before?
[14:06] ---
    No...
[14:07] ---
    ...you must be imagining it.
[14:11] ---
    Ha-ha-ha, I guess so!
[14:13] ---
    Mish Shaden!
[14:15] ---
    Mm-hmm, coming!
[14:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
    Have you run into any trouble?
[14:29] ---
    No, I was just unreachable for a bit.
[14:32] ---
    You've safely managed
    to get into Academy City, then?
[14:35] ---
    Yeah.
[14:36] ---
    This is your first mission for MEMBER.
[14:40] ---
    You need to fulfill your duty,
    my Aztecan young lady.
[14:44] ---
    I know.
[14:45] ---
    Oh! Nagatenjouki Academy
    breaks ahead of the pack
[14:50] ---
    and is first across the finish line!
[14:52] ---
    They have not lost an event yet!
[14:53] ---
    The Daihasei Festival...
[14:55] ---
    Misaka does not go to any school
    and is not allowed to participate.
[15:02] ---
    Time to go back to the hospital.
[15:05] ---
    Misaka!
[15:08] ---
    We saw you in the three-legged race!
[15:10] ---
    As impressive as always.
[15:13] ---
    I'm glad we won, but we got awfully dirty, too.
[15:16] ---
    We saw before that, too.
    Misaka, you're pretty fast, huh?
[15:20] ---
    It was so cool how you passed
    those boys in the same year at school.
[15:24] ---
    Oh, you really think so?
    Ever since I was little, I've been pretty--
[15:27] ---
    Mikoto has been fast ever
    since she was in kindergarten.
[15:32] ---
    Oh, Mama!
[15:33] ---
    Yoo-hoo!
[15:34] ---
    What's up? I thought we were meeting up later--
[15:36] ---
    --Mama?!
    --Mama?!
[15:38] ---
    Ah... "Mama" is what I used to call
    her as a child, and it just slipped out.
[15:43] ---
    It's not like I'm not independent of her--
[15:44] ---
    "Mama," as in her mother?!
    Not her older sister, but her mother?!
[15:49] ---
    You like you're only around 20!
[15:51] ---
    Oh, that's what you meant.
[15:52] ---
    Ah, are you two Mikoto's friends?
    What a kind thing for you to say.
[15:57] ---
    Ah, but no w that I'm looking,
    I can see parts of Misaka here and there.
[16:03] ---
    Bustline excepted.
[16:04] ---
    Okay, Miss Saten,
    let's have a nice long chat later.
[16:08] ---
    Just the two of us.
[16:09] ---
    Ah-ha-ha, I'm kidding! I'm kidding, okay?
[16:13] ---
    Sheesh.
[16:14] ---
    Oh, come to think of it, where's Kuroko?
[16:16] ---
    Miss Shirai went out on Judgment patrol.
[16:19] ---
    If you need her for something, I can call her.
[16:22] ---
    Oh, no, that's okay. I was just
    thinking that if I asked Kuroko,
[16:25] ---
    she could teleport me back to Tokiwadai
    and I could change out of this.
[16:30] ---
    Yes, I can see why you would want to change.
[16:34] ---
    But as late as it is...
[16:36] ---
    I don't think I can make it
    back in time for the next race.
[16:40] ---
    What if you asked someone
    to fill in for you in the meantime?
[16:44] ---
    Yeah, maybe.
[16:45] ---
    I do have my showdown
    with that idiot coming up, though.
[16:48] ---
    I don't know if letting someone else--
[16:49] ---
    Which "that idiot" is that? Mama is curious!
[16:52] ---
    --Huh? D-D-Don't make too much of it. H-H-He...
[16:56] ---
    --Oh, you mean that guy?
    --Huh? D-D-Don't make too much of it. H-H-He...
[16:58] ---
    Huh? What's this, now?
[17:00] ---
    Oh, he's someone who
    Misaka apparently owes a lot to.
[17:04] ---
    Ho-ho, tell me more, tell me more.
[17:06] ---
    Ah, I was watching the
    scavenger hunt coverage earlier,
[17:10] ---
    and Miss Misaka was with a spiky-haired boy.
[17:12] ---
    Spiky-haired? Ah, that boy!
[17:15] ---
    You know who he is?
[17:16] ---
    I happened to see them this morning.
[17:19] ---
    She was talking to a high-school-aged boy,
[17:21] ---
    and said that if he beat her, she
    would do anything he said, or something.
[17:24] ---
    --Th-There are three of them against me now...?
    --Oh? You don't say!
[17:26] ---
    --Th-There are three of them against me now...?
    --Anything he says?!
[17:34] ---
    My...
[17:36] ---
    You might say this is gruesome.
    What incredible force!
[17:47] ---
    Miss Awatsuki...
[17:48] ---
    Yes?
[17:49] ---
    Have you ever been in a fight before?
[17:51] ---
    Huh?!
[17:54] ---
    We've been taught all this time
    that the enemy is within us,
[17:59] ---
    and that we are not training ourselves
[18:02] ---
    to prove that we are better than others.
[18:05] ---
    But looking at the other schools' students,
[18:07] ---
    I wonder if our competitive psyches
    are not somewhat lacking.
[18:12] ---
    It's true, we may not be able
    to duplicate that kind of
[18:17] ---
    force and power in the pursuit of victory.
[18:19] ---
    I know that it isn't right to
    hurt others or look down on them.
[18:25] ---
    However, I do wonder if we
    shouldn't learn the skills we need
[18:29] ---
    in order to fight competitively.
[18:31] ---
    I've never even gotten angry,
    let alone gotten into a fight.
[18:35] ---
    So that's why you asked me about that earlier.
[18:38] ---
    In that case, I was thinking the same--
[18:39] ---
    I have it!
[18:40] ---
    Miss Awatsuki, would you
    mind trying to get angry with me?
[18:44] ---
    Huh?!
[18:47] ---
    U-Um...
[18:49] ---
    H-H--
[18:52] ---
    Hey, you!
[18:55] ---
    --Down with Tokiwadai Middle School!
    --Down with Tokiwadai Middle School!
[18:57] ---
    Elite school my eye! They're all girls,
    and middle-schoolers, at that!
[19:01] ---
    We can't let ourselves be outdone by them!
[19:03] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[19:05] ---
    Oh, goodness.
[19:07] ---
    It is nice that you have so much spirit.
[19:10] ---
    However, we are one
    of the five fingers competing
[19:14] ---
    for Daihasei supremacy.
[19:16] ---
    We are not going to roll over
    and be beaten that easily.
[19:19] ---
    You'll be telling your grandchildren how
    fearsome Tokiwadai Middle School is.
[19:25] ---
    Oh, wow, Miss Kongo!
[19:27] ---
    Such grand poise in the face of
    those gentlemen! How impressive!
[19:31] ---
    Time for us to cheer, as well! Tokiwadai, yeah!
[19:36] ---
    --Y-Yeah...
    --Y-Yeah...
[19:37] ---
    I cannot hear you! One more time!
[19:40] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[19:41] ---
    One more!
[19:42] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[19:43] ---
    Oh dear, what are we going to do?
[19:46] ---
    Is something the matter?
[19:49] ---
    Well, the contest is about to start,
    but I don't see Miss Misaka anywhere.
[19:54] ---
    Oh...
[19:57] ---
    "Once again, Misaka is
    here to watch the games.
[20:01] ---
    N-Not that she is depressed about
    being unable to compete, you understand,"
[20:05] ---
    says Misaka, offering a tsundere rationale.
[20:10] ---
    Well, she cannot deny that there
    is some feeling of alienation.
[20:15] ---
    Ah, Miss Misaka!
[20:17] ---
    Huh?
[20:18] ---
    Oh? Why aren't you wearing your gym uniform?
[20:23] ---
    Now that you mention it,
[20:24] ---
    your gym uniform got pretty dirty
    in that three-legged race earlier.
[20:30] ---
    Oh, and you have nothing else
    to change into, right?
[20:32] ---
    In that case, you may borrow mine.
[20:38] ---
    Oh, man!
[20:39] ---
    I thought that if I used my ability,
    I could dash there and back in time,
[20:42] ---
    but this is pushing it!
[20:46] ---
    Sorry I'm late--
[20:49] ---
    It's not too small, is it?
[20:51] ---
    Nothing that will obstruct any movement.
[20:53] ---
    In fact, it is extra roomy across the chest.
[20:56] ---
    I will hold on to your cat for you.
[20:59] ---
    Huh?
[21:00] ---
    Is something the matter?
[21:02] ---
    No, I just thought I saw someone over there...
[21:04] ---
    Wh-What is she doing?!
[21:08] ---
    How is the matter coming along?
[21:11] ---
    Everything is in place.
    There will be no problem at all.
[21:14] ---
    We will render her powerless,
    just like you want.
[21:18] ---
    Baba, we're getting started.
[21:20] ---
    Yeah, sorry. I'm on my way.
[21:22] ---
    Well, well, he sure sounds sure of things.
[21:26] ---
    I guess I should expect as much
    from someone from MEMBER,
[21:28] ---
    the dark side outfit under the
    direct thumb of the governing board.
[21:32] ---
    Let's see what he's actually capable of.
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    "Oh dear. Misaka has
    been mistaken for Big Sister,
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#3 Balloon Hunter"
[23:28] ---
    and ends up having to compete in the games,
[23:30] ---
    but she must do her best for the others,"
[23:32] ---
    enthuses Misaka, in the style
    of a morning anime show preview.
[23:36] ---
    Mm-hmm, well, at least
    you sounded determined.
[23:41] ---

[00:02] ---
    Okay, the next competition is...
[00:04] ---
    "Balloon Hunter"
[00:04] ---
    ...the Balloon Hunter!
[00:06] ---
    "Hazamaya Kana, Class 1-3"
[00:07] ---
    In this contest, 30 students
    chosen from each school
[00:10] ---
    will compete to break the paper balloons
    attached to their opponents' heads
[00:13] ---
    using the designated beanbags!
[00:15] ---
    Contestants whose balloons
    are popped are disqualified,
[00:18] ---
    and the team with the most
    students remaining at the end wins.
[00:22] ---
    The game area is spread out,
    but going onto roads open to the public
[00:25] ---
    and going indoors is prohibited!
[00:28] ---
    --Also, as with the other games,
    direct attacks with one's ability are off-limits!
[00:28] ---
    --All right, let's get going. Miss Misaka...?
    --Also, as with the other games,
    direct attacks with one's ability are off-limits!
[00:32] ---
    --Miss Kongo, we're getting started!
    --All right, are all of the school teams ready?
[00:38] ---
    I'll give you points for not
    tucking your tail and running away.
[00:41] ---
    Ha! You might be laughing on the
    other side of your face when this is over!
[00:46] ---
    Okay,
[00:47] ---
    ready...!
[00:49] ---
    Huh?
[00:50] ---
    
[00:50] ---
    Just keep running as far as you can!
[00:54] ---
    If we all make it through
    this, it'll be a tie!
[00:57] ---
    H-How negative!
[00:59] ---
    Let's go after them!
[01:02] ---
    "Pursuing them individually is dangerous.
    We should act in three-man teams,"
[01:07] ---
    proposes Misaka...
[01:11] ---
    Oh well, then.
[01:14] ---
    How in the world did this end up happening?
[01:18] ---
    Actually, I can pretty well imagine.
[01:22] ---
    On the other hand, the fact
    that no one could tell she isn't me
[01:26] ---
    is kind of lucky, but
    kind of dejecting, too...
[01:30] ---
    Well, there's no helping what's already done.
[01:34] ---
    You're competing in my place,
    so go ahead and tear it up.
[01:54] ---
    "A Certain Magical Railgun T"
[03:10] ---
    Uiharu, are you sure you
    don't have to patrol?
[03:12] ---
    I'm about to go, but it will be over the net.
[03:17] ---
    In a large-scale event like this,
    they anticipate a number of cyberattacks.
[03:23] ---
    Ah, and that's right up your alley, isn't it?
[03:27] ---
    Okay, three minutes have passed
    since the start of the balloon hunter game,
[03:30] ---
    and there is still no one
    out from either team.
[03:32] ---
    Who will be the one to break this tie?
[03:35] ---
    Isn't that the event that Misaka
    said she was competing in next?
[03:38] ---
    It probably is. I wonder if
    she changed her clothes in time.
[03:43] ---
    Oh, this is Misaka we're
    talking about. I think she's fine.
[03:47] ---
    Ah, Kongo!
[03:49] ---
    We have to split up, everyone.
[03:51] ---
    --Right!
    --Right!
[03:53] ---
    A competition to break the
    balloons on each other's heads, huh?
[03:56] ---
    Tokiwadai has lots of other espers
    besides Misaka who are amazing, right?
[04:01] ---
    They're going to win
    with no trouble, aren't they?
[04:03] ---
    Hmm... good question.
[04:11] ---
    Why don't you give up already?
[04:16] ---
    A telekinesist...
[04:18] ---
    Let me guess, you lured me here?
[04:21] ---
    Heh-heh, it seems pretty
    juvenile to do this against a girl,
[04:24] ---
    but don't worry, I'm not
    going to hit you in your face!
[04:29] ---
    If that's your best,
    you're not even a Level 3, are you?
[04:34] ---
    I, too, am a telekinesist.
[04:37] ---
    One who is in a class way
    above yours, to boot.
[04:42] ---
    Damn!
[04:44] ---
    Do you think you can keep dodging them all?
[04:53] ---
    Contestant Omoshi is out!
[04:55] ---
    At this rate,
[04:57] ---
    I could take all of you on,
    and still have change left over.
[05:02] ---
    Your schoolmates will soon be--
[05:07] ---
    Contestant Kirifu is out!
[05:09] ---
    Huh?!
[05:10] ---
    But didn't that attack happen
    after he was disqualified?
[05:12] ---
    It was completely invalid!
[05:15] ---
    It would be, if I had done it.
[05:20] ---
    H-Hi, there.
[05:23] ---
    She's the one who
    telekinetically threw it at you.
[05:26] ---
    You dropped your guard, thinking it was over,
[05:29] ---
    Level 4 telekinesist Kirifu Megumi.
[05:33] ---
    Why do you know my full name?
[05:35] ---
    Because we're all weak.
    We checked out everything to know about you,
[05:40] ---
    and came up with some strategies.
[05:45] ---
    Is everyone in position?
[05:49] ---
    I can confirm that moments ago,
    at least five members of the other team
[05:54] ---
    came into this alleyway.
[05:56] ---
    We are in control of all three
    exits leading out of it.
[06:01] ---
    I will telepathically give
    the signal to move in.
[06:06] ---
    All right then, three... two...
[06:10] ---
    ...one...?
[06:19] ---
    M-Miss Kobayashi, take it easy...
[06:23] ---
    Screams that are delivered
    telepathically echo directly within the brain.
[06:27] ---
    It amounts to a sonic weapon
    that can't be blocked out.
[06:32] ---
    Oh, and that's just a toy, so relax.
[06:34] ---
    "Kobayashi Satori: LV3 telepath"
    "Weaknesses: bugs (especially spiders)"
[06:38] ---
    They just keep scampering away.
[06:39] ---
    They don't know when to quit!
[06:45] ---
    M-Mud?
[06:46] ---
    We have to go through there?
[06:48] ---
    Our shoes are going to get dirty.
[06:52] ---
    How about we go around?
[06:54] ---
    Y-Yes, let's do that.
[06:58] ---
    There they go.
[07:00] ---
    They don't even realize
    they're being led around.
[07:02] ---
    Incredible. We're playing
    Tokiwadai like a violin.
[07:07] ---
    Just like you said we would, Baba.
[07:09] ---
    Oh, I just collected some
    data and made some suggestions.
[07:13] ---
    But how did you get such
    detailed information?
[07:17] ---
    Including personalities and weaknesses?
[07:19] ---
    I have a friend over at
    the Garden of Learning.
[07:22] ---
    That's how.
[07:23] ---
    Hey, what do we do next?
[07:24] ---
    Oh, hold on a second.
[07:26] ---
    --Sure enough, wars are won
    by detailed intelligence
    --Let's see... Next, we move.
[07:29] ---
    --and a leader who can make effective use of it.
    --Let's see... Next, we move.
[07:29] ---
    --and a leader who can make effective use of it.
    --We rendezvous with Nomura and the others at Point 5A.
[07:32] ---
    --and a leader who can make effective use of it.
    --Where is Point 5A again?
[07:32] ---
    --Know the enemy and know yourself,
    --Where is Point 5A again?
[07:33] ---
    --Know the enemy and know yourself,
    --That would be...
[07:34] ---
    --and even these knuckle-draggers
    will make good pawns.
    --That would be...
[07:36] ---
    --and even these knuckle-draggers
    will make good pawns.
    --...the stockyard over on Block 2.
[07:38] ---
    Over there, huh?
[07:39] ---
    Okay, let's get going...
[07:41] ---
    Baba?
[07:42] ---
    Hmm? Okay, let's get going.
[07:48] ---
    Things are going pretty smoothly so far.
    We're way in the lead.
[07:52] ---
    Stay on your toes, though.
    They have Misaka Mikoto on their team.
[07:57] ---
    That radar warning thing she does
    means sneak attacks won't work.
[07:59] ---
    She's like her own fortress.
[08:03] ---
    Still,
[08:04] ---
    there's no need to eliminate
    all of them, is there?
[08:06] ---
    Yeah. No reason to go out on a limb.
[08:10] ---
    We should spread the word to not go near her.
[08:13] ---
    Isn't that the way?
[08:15] ---
    If we didn't have enough numbers,
    we couldn't move the plan forward,
[08:18] ---
    so I intervened here and there,
[08:21] ---
    but now that we're overwhelming them,
    the real goal is getting left behind.
[08:25] ---
    What a pain.
[08:27] ---
    Well, let's see what shakes out.
[08:33] ---
    No way! No way!
[08:35] ---
    Why did I have to run into the Level 5?!
[08:51] ---
    I-Is she gone?
[09:03] ---
    There was an incident in
    this alleyway previously,
[09:08] ---
    so the layout, not to mention
    the locations to hide
[09:11] ---
    and from which to attack are all familiar.
[09:13] ---
    Damn, that was a stretch, all right!
[09:15] ---
    Ah, that way is dangerous.
[09:19] ---
    "There, you see?" says Misaka with a sigh.
[09:24] ---
    Contestant Misaka defeats
    her second opponent!
[09:27] ---
    Can Tokiwadai bounce back
    in the time remaining?!
[09:31] ---
    Did you see that, kitty?
[09:35] ---
    Miss Misaka is amazing.
[09:39] ---
    That really is an adorable cat, huh?
[09:47] ---
    It looks as though this is
    the end of the line for me...
[09:51] ---
    Ecaterina, limit yourself
    to only one rat per day...
[09:57] ---
    That's fine and all, but please
    hurry along to the sidelines, okay?
[10:00] ---
    Huh? Oh, really?
[10:02] ---
    You were awesome. There
    were seven of us, too.
[10:06] ---
    Given the power of Kongo Mitsuko,
    it is no surprise!
[10:10] ---
    --She apparently just transferred in,
    so there was hardly any data on her.
    --You should be proud that you managed to beat me at all!
[10:14] ---
    Just transferred in, and
    she's still that pompous?
[10:18] ---
    Bad news! Nomura and the
    others were wiped out!
[10:20] ---
    For real?!
[10:21] ---
    This is bad. Our lead has
    been nearly eliminated.
[10:25] ---
    What's worse, so is our precious Level 3.
[10:27] ---
    Nice!
[10:29] ---
    Maybe we should go after
    Misaka Mikoto after all.
[10:32] ---
    Huh?
[10:34] ---
    Right now, the other team
    isn't acting cohesively,
[10:36] ---
    but with the time limit
    approaching and no time to spare,
[10:39] ---
    they might start working together.
[10:40] ---
    If they team up against us,
    it will be hard to maintain our slim lead.
[10:45] ---
    But if we take out their head right now,
[10:47] ---
    we can shake them up,
    and their leadership will get muddled.
[10:50] ---
    Yeah, we get that, but...
[10:52] ---
    ...there's no way to beat her.
[10:54] ---
    Don't you worry.
[10:56] ---
    There's a stunningly simple way...
[10:58] ---
    "#3 Balloon Hunter"
[10:59] ---
    ...to bring her down.
[11:07] ---
    Heh-heh, looks like I got away clean!
[11:12] ---
    Judgment!
[11:14] ---
    You are under arrest for
    flagrant snatch and grab-- Huh?
[11:18] ---
    You would be better off not
    making this harder for both of us.
[11:21] ---
    I am in an especially poor mood right now!
[11:25] ---
    After all, so far today...
[11:29] ---
    --...I have not seen Sissy even once.
    --What is this?! Damn it! Pull them out!
[11:35] ---
    Sissy must be competing right about now.
[11:38] ---
    Where is the largest street
    monitor around here again?
[11:49] ---
    "Strange," says Misaka, tilting her head.
[11:53] ---
    That girl does not appear
    to have any desire to fight,
[11:57] ---
    but she also does not seem to
    be running away in any random direction.
[12:01] ---
    Rather, perhaps the reason she came
    to an area with open vantage points
[12:04] ---
    may have something to do with her ability,
[12:07] ---
    or perhaps...
[12:08] ---
    ...this is a trap.
[12:13] ---
    If you can't hit your opponent
    by throwing at them,
[12:15] ---
    then don't throw anything.
[12:18] ---
    Huh?
[12:19] ---
    The rules of the competition
[12:21] ---
    state that you have to break the paper
    balloons using the designated beanbags,
[12:24] ---
    and that's all they say.
[12:26] ---
    In other words, you can break them
    by holding the beanbag in your hand.
[12:30] ---
    If Misaka Mikoto tries to use
    her electric shocks against the beanbags,
[12:35] ---
    it counts as attacking an opponent
    with her ability, and she'll be disqualified.
[12:39] ---
    By simply holding the beanbags in
    our hands, we can lock down her shocks.
[12:43] ---
    If she can't use her ability,
    then the playing field is level!
[12:47] ---
    In that case...
[12:48] ---
    You're mine!
[12:54] ---
    "Misaka has engaged in combat
    over 10,000 times with someone
[12:57] ---
    who could take her life with a single touch.
[13:00] ---
    It will not be a simple matter
    to catch her," warns Misaka.
[13:07] ---
    Don't let up! Everyone charge her together!
[13:11] ---
    Oh! Contestant Misaka,
    faced with a flurry of hands,
[13:15] ---
    dodges, dodges, and dodges!
    This is incredible!
[13:30] ---
    Good grief,
[13:31] ---
    it took a lot of work
    to set up those conditions.
[13:36] ---
    Typically, Misaka Mikoto
    emits faint EM waves around her,
[13:41] ---
    which can serve as a kind of radar
    if she pays attention to them.
[13:45] ---
    And it's nearly impossible
    for an electronic device,
[13:49] ---
    --even a small one, to get near her undetected.
    --Everybody, close the gap!
[13:51] ---
    --even a small one, to get near her undetected.
    --Don't give her any room to dodge!
[13:53] ---
    However, under these circumstances,
    with her focus distracted by the contestants closing in,
[13:58] ---
    and the rules of the game preventing
    her from using her ability...
[14:02] ---
    Listen!
[14:04] ---
    Everybody, together--
[14:06] ---
    A hole in the wall has opened up.
[14:09] ---
    Now is the chance to--
[14:14] ---
    Contestant Misaka is eliminated!
[14:17] ---
    Huh? No way! We did it!
[14:19] ---
    We beat her!
[14:22] ---
    Misaka is...
[14:23] ---
    ...defeated.
[14:26] ---
    Mission accomplished.
[14:29] ---
    Man, that was an unusual mission, though.
[14:31] ---
    I mean, incapacitate Misaka Mikoto?
[14:35] ---
    The Balloon Hunter competition is now over!
[14:39] ---
    Tokiwadai Middle School,
    which was favored to win,
[14:41] ---
    has been beaten by a razor-thin margin!
[14:44] ---
    Their first black mark in the tournament.
[14:47] ---
    One might say this is the greatest takeaway
[14:49] ---
    from competing in the Daihasei Festival.
[14:51] ---
    Yes. There is much that
    can be learned from defeat.
[14:56] ---
    For those who are conceited
    because of their Level or status,
[14:59] ---
    it's just what the doctor ordered.
[15:01] ---
    It won't do to have them worrying
    about soiling their clothes over winning.
[15:06] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[15:09] ---
    Shall I add scrubbing toilets
    to their dorm chore rotation?
[15:12] ---
    That is a good idea.
[15:16] ---
    "Misaka did not remain vigilant,
    and fell for the opposing team's plan,"
[15:21] ---
    says Misaka, reflecting on her own mistake.
[15:25] ---
    She was unable to fulfil
    her role as your substitute.
[15:27] ---
    Did you have fun?
[15:30] ---
    Did you have fun competing?
[15:33] ---
    Y-Yes.
[15:35] ---
    Then there's nothing to feel down about.
[15:38] ---
    The switch itself wasn't fair play,
[15:40] ---
    but you couldn't help it
    that you got mistaken for me,
[15:42] ---
    and it's also my own fault for being late.
[15:45] ---
    Besides, there at the end,
    I think you held out longer than I would have.
[15:52] ---
    I'm impressed.
[15:55] ---
    It's just about lunchtime.
[15:57] ---
    Have you had anything to eat?
[15:59] ---
    No.
[16:00] ---
    Here.
[16:01] ---
    These are street stall vouchers
    that they gave out to the students.
[16:04] ---
    I have a date to eat lunch with my mama,
    so you can use them if you like.
[16:09] ---
    Street stalls, you say?
[16:11] ---
    The festival is going on anyway,
[16:13] ---
    so let's both enjoy ourselves.
[16:16] ---
    Oh, you still have the gym clothes
    on that you borrowed from Miss Wannai.
[16:21] ---
    Get them back to her as soon as you can.
[16:26] ---
    I know it's okay to bring your own food in,
[16:29] ---
    but I'm not so sure that includes
    cheese fondue with your own pot.
[16:33] ---
    Oh, now, mother and daughter,
[16:36] ---
    sitting around a pot during
    the sports festival is pretty nice, isn't it?
[16:39] ---
    How so?
[16:40] ---
    Aw, but it's gonna take a
    while before the cheese is melted.
[16:44] ---
    I should have cut these up smaller first.
[16:47] ---
    Okay, I'll go buy us something to drink.
[16:49] ---
    I'd sure like some wine.
[16:52] ---
    There's no way they have that here.
[16:56] ---
    Ah, man...
[16:58] ---
    It sure is crowded, huh?
[17:03] ---
    You, too, huh?
[17:05] ---
    You, too? This is aggravating, huh?
    There are lines everywhere you go.
[17:10] ---
    Yeah. Ol' Kamijo here very nearly
    wet himself, even as old as he is.
[17:15] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[17:16] ---
    How the restrooms are so crowded,
    you nearly whiz in your pants, right?
[17:19] ---
    I just came here to buy some drinks!
[17:22] ---
    Oh, that.
[17:24] ---
    You really do have no delicacy...
[17:26] ---
    In that case,
    I'll go buy enough for you all, too.
[17:29] ---
    What my old lady prepared
    for us probably won't be enough.
[17:33] ---
    Just sit tight for a bit, okay?
[17:36] ---
    Plus, he's an unusually nice guy...
[17:39] ---
    See? Just like I told you, right?
[17:42] ---
    Yes, indeed.
[17:44] ---
    Still, I'm surprised you could
    tell from the video footage.
[17:48] ---
    Mental Out can be used many different ways.
[17:51] ---
    I'm not telling, though.
[17:53] ---
    Okay, then. I guess I should
    expect as much from a Level 5.
[17:57] ---
    You can skip the brown-nosing.
[17:59] ---
    Just keep up your fine powers of observation.
[18:07] ---
    Well, well...
[18:09] ---
    Miss Misaka, enjoying a relaxed lunchtime?
[18:13] ---
    Relaxed?
[18:14] ---
    What, are you training somewhere
    out of sight during the lunch break?
[18:18] ---
    Don't be silly.
[18:19] ---
    I had all my afternoon
    competitions cancelled.
[18:23] ---
    Huh?!
[18:24] ---
    After everything this morning, I'm exhausted.
[18:26] ---
    Listen to you.
[18:28] ---
    Do you think this will be enough for lunch?
[18:31] ---
    It's mostly tea, though...
[18:34] ---
    Um, and who is this lady here?
[18:37] ---
    My classmate.
[18:39] ---
    Sort of.
[18:40] ---
    She's in your... class...?
[18:44] ---
    O-Oh, she's your classmate, huh? Okay, okay.
[18:47] ---
    I detected his gaze dropping 30 cm just now!
[18:52] ---
    Nice to meet you,
[18:53] ---
    Mr. Kamijo.
[18:55] ---
    I am Miss Misaka's friend, Shokuho Misaki.
[19:01] ---
    It's a pleasure.
[19:03] ---
    Wh-Who are you calling a friend?!
[19:05] ---
    Ooh, how scary!
[19:07] ---
    Miss Misaka doesn't seem to like me.
    She's always so bristly with me.
[19:12] ---
    Y-Yeah, she's always prickly with me, too...
[19:16] ---
    Oh, yeah? So she's bristly
    and prickly, huh? How funny!
[19:21] ---
    Stop describing me...
[19:25] ---
    like I was a sound effect,
    and hitting it off after just meeting!
[19:28] ---
    See you later, Miss Misaka.
    Compete hard enough for the both of us!
[19:40] ---
    Hmm...
[19:42] ---
    Is something the matter?
    You look unusually lost in thought.
[19:47] ---
    Uiharu, how's work going?
[19:49] ---
    There were three fairly
    large-scale server attacks,
[19:53] ---
    but they were only slightly
    worse than amateur level,
[19:55] ---
    so I dealt with them in no time at all.
[19:57] ---
    O-Oh, yeah?
[19:59] ---
    What about you, Miss Saten?
[20:05] ---
    Tell me,
[20:06] ---
    where would Shadow Metal be lying around?
[20:09] ---
    Are we still talking about that?
[20:12] ---
    If it's created wherever esper
    powers engage with each other,
[20:16] ---
    it would probably be on the grounds
    where powerhouse schools competed.
[20:19] ---
    Didn't Miss Shirai warn you about this?
[20:23] ---
    You're not having financial trouble, are you?
[20:26] ---
    Uh-uh.
[20:28] ---
    I mean, I'm not exactly well-to-do, either.
[20:31] ---
    How can I put this?
    It's the adventure, you know?
[20:34] ---
    Of obtaining something that
    isn't conventionally recognized,
[20:36] ---
    and which you'd otherwise
    never find in your day-to-day life.
[20:40] ---
    Just like being a Level 5.
[20:48] ---
    Ah, what the hey.
[20:51] ---
    I'll follow your lead on this.
    "Shadow Metal," did you call it?
[20:56] ---
    I'll check around for
    whatever information I can find.
[21:00] ---
    There's my Uiharu!
[21:04] ---
    How come you're wearing
    gym shorts under here?
[21:06] ---
    So I can go out and compete right away.
[21:09] ---
    Um, please don't tug.
[21:14] ---
    Cotton candy...
[21:15] ---
    ...and candy apples...
    What must they taste like?
[21:19] ---
    The yakisoba might
    have egg in it, so rule that out.
[21:25] ---
    "Ah, cats are able to eat
    ikayaki," says Misaka...
[21:39] ---
    Oh...
[21:41] ---
    ...no... These clothes...
    are borrowed, too...
[21:48] ---
    Now they're dirty...
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    Sissy, at last, the two
    of us are alone together!
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#4 Tampering"
[23:28] ---
    It's not that big a deal.
[23:30] ---
    Oh, no! It has been 23 episodes
    since the two of us did a preview together!
[23:33] ---
    So, Sissy, go ahead and lay one
    of your usual passionate kisses on--
[23:37] ---
    I do not even get to make a quip?!
[23:41] ---

[00:09] ---
    What are you sighing about?
[00:11] ---
    You would sigh, too.
    Here I am, finally out of the hospital,
[00:16] ---
    but when I think of how I must again
[00:18] ---
    spend the next several
    nights without you, Sissy...
[00:21] ---
    What can I say? Tokiwadai's
    custom during the Daihasei Festival
[00:25] ---
    is for their students to stay
    with their families at a hotel.
[00:28] ---
    Yes, I realize that.
[00:30] ---
    I will suffer through the nights of loneliness.
[00:34] ---
    But in exchange,
[00:35] ---
    as soon as the Daihasei Festival is over,
[00:37] ---
    we will share a hot, passionate night...
[00:41] ---
    Come on, what are you talking about?
[00:44] ---
    Hey, mister...
[00:46] ---
    ...one extra-large, please.
[00:47] ---
    You got it! One extra-large,
    coming up. Just a moment.
[00:52] ---
    I wonder...
[00:54] ---
    ...what she decided to get.
[00:56] ---
    Sissy?
[00:58] ---
    Oh, sorry. Listen, Kuroko,
    is there anything you'd like to eat?
[01:03] ---
    This time it's my treat.
[01:05] ---
    Maybe I should get something
    for Miss Uiharu and Miss Saten, too.
[01:08] ---
    --Something light to snack on...
[01:09] ---
    --I-If it is coming from you,
    Sissy, anything will be fine...
    --Something light to snack on...
[01:14] ---
    But then, if you are offering anything...
[01:17] ---
    I would like some of your half-eaten--
[01:22] ---
    I'm here...!
[01:25] ---
    Ooh, it almost looks like there was a war here.
[01:30] ---
    Yeah, Uiharu?
[01:32] ---
    This field isn't scheduled to be used again today.
[01:35] ---
    I can search it all I want.
    I'm waiting on you for more information.
[01:38] ---
    Okay, okay, I'm way ahead of you.
[01:41] ---
    You know, I wonder what it looks like.
[01:44] ---
    Maybe it's in tiny grains, like gold dust.
[01:47] ---
    Is there any information on the color or shape?
[01:50] ---
    Hmm, about that--
[01:53] ---
    My searches are returning
    an unusually large number of hits,
[01:57] ---
    and yet there's nothing but vague
    nonsense written in any of them.
[02:01] ---
    Yeah, but like they say,
    where there's smoke, there's fire.
[02:05] ---
    If you have that many hits,
[02:06] ---
    it must mean there's something to it, right?
[02:08] ---
    That's certainly positive thinking.
[02:10] ---
    All righty!
[02:11] ---
    Time to find some Shadow Metal!
[02:18] ---
    This is a little bit weird, huh?

    "A Certain Magical Railgun T"

    I doubt this scorched stone
    here is Shadow Metal, either.
[04:01] ---
    Nothing new on my end, either.
[04:04] ---
    For that matter, I can't find the site
    that you said you browsed earlier.
[04:09] ---
    Well, that's strange.
    I just looked at it a week ago.
[04:15] ---
    This is it, Kazari! A conspiracy! A conspiracy!
[04:19] ---
    A conspiracy?
[04:20] ---
    If you go after Shadow Metal,
[04:21] ---
    some people say you'll get
    targeted by a mysterious organization!
[04:24] ---
    If those stories are true,
    we may be closer than we think!
[04:28] ---
    Oh, are you working?
[04:29] ---
    I'm here dropping off Kuroko.
[04:32] ---
    Good. While I'm at it,
    I'll kill some time before my next competition.
[04:36] ---
    Mm-hmm, any way you look at it, that must be it!
[04:39] ---
    If we don't get a move on,
    the organization will snatch it all away!
[04:42] ---
    That makes sense. But Miss Saten,
    if these people actually exist,
[04:46] ---
    --doesn't that put you in
    considerable danger right now?
[04:49] ---
    --It sounds like you are up
    to more funny business.
    --doesn't that put you in considerable danger right now?
[04:53] ---
    Huh? Danger?
[04:54] ---
    If any organization that would manipulate
    data to monopolize Shadow Metal
[04:59] ---
    were to find you there now...
[05:01] ---
    H-Hold on, Uiharu...?
[05:03] ---
    Don't say that; you're scaring me.
[05:05] ---
    I'm joking, I'm joking.
[05:08] ---
    That's what you get
    for always flipping up my skirt.
[05:11] ---
    Oh, brother...
[05:13] ---
    Huh?! Who are--?! Hey! Wait--
[05:15] ---
    Miss Saten?!
[05:17] ---
    Miss Saten, what's the matter?!
[05:19] ---
    Has something happened?
[05:20] ---
    I-It sounded like Miss Saten
    was attacked by someone!
[05:22] ---
    Uiharu, where is she?
[05:24] ---
    The grounds at Kirigaoka, in School District 18!
[05:27] ---
    Sissy, we are off!
[05:29] ---
    --I'm coming, too--
    --Uiharu, you stay here to back us up.
[05:31] ---
    Depending on what we find,
    we might need you to contact Antiskill.
[05:36] ---
    --But--
    --Miss Uiharu...
[05:38] ---
    We've got this.
[05:48] ---
    Ow...!
[05:49] ---
    All right! All right, already, just let me go!
[05:54] ---
    You're hurting me! You're hurting me!
[05:59] ---
    Those look like...
[06:00] ---
    What do you think...
[06:01] ---
    S-Sissy,
[06:02] ---
    --...you're doing?!
    --just a moment!
[06:05] ---
    --We're sorry!
    --We're sorry!
[06:09] ---
    Our job is securing the
    school grounds and prep rooms,
[06:13] ---
    "Contestant Locker Room"
[06:14] ---
    and thoroughly cleaning them.
[06:15] ---
    You never know; somebody might show
    up trying to collect high-level esper DNA.
[06:22] ---
    In fact, there have been many
    unsuccessful attempts in the past.
[06:26] ---
    Given all that, it's only natural that
    we'd take in a prowler if we found one.
[06:30] ---
    And then you go and attack us, to boot.
[06:33] ---
    You're absolutely right.
[06:34] ---
    We are terribly sorry!
[06:36] ---
    If you've learned your lesson,
    I'm willing to let you off today--
[06:39] ---
    Excuse me...
[06:41] ---
    On a side note, have you
    ever heard of Shadow Metal?
[06:44] ---
    Huh?
[06:44] ---
    Saten...
[06:47] ---
    So not even those people
    have ever seen Shadow Metal.
[06:51] ---
    Idle gossip springing
    from people who were suspicious
[06:54] ---
    of the tight security around school grounds,
[06:56] ---
    meant to prevent the leaking of DNA maps--
[06:59] ---
    that appears to be the
    true story behind Shadow Metal.
[07:03] ---
    This is why I cautioned you about
    not getting caught up in baseless stories.
[07:08] ---
    I'm sorry.
[07:09] ---
    You, too, Sissy!
[07:10] ---
    I've learned my lesson.
[07:12] ---
    Listen to me.
[07:13] ---
    --If you will pay attention to what I say every day...
[07:14] ---
    --Ugh, this is going to be a long one.
    --Ugh, this is going to be a long one.
    --If you will pay attention to what I say every day...
[07:18] ---
    Thank goodness they're safe, anyway.
[07:21] ---
    Miss Saten really is a handful.
[07:26] ---
    Still...
[07:29] ---
    These results really are abnormal, aren't they?
[07:33] ---
    Is it possible that someone
    spammed all of this dummy data
[07:37] ---
    to keep anyone from finding
    the site that she said she looked at?
[07:41] ---
    To conceal some embarrassing
    information that was on it?
[07:44] ---
    Oh, please. Maybe Miss Saten
    is starting to rub off on me.
[07:50] ---
    But if this dummy data is something
    that was automatically generated,
[07:55] ---
    then by analyzing its pattern,
    I may be able to recreate the original site.
[08:01] ---
    That's a tall order, though...
[08:04] ---
    "Boom."
[08:07] ---
    Well, well, what have we here?
[08:10] ---
    Mm-hmm, this is exactly the
    kind of site Miss Saten told me about.
[08:14] ---
    However, the strange thing about this is...
[08:17] ---
    the information it has on
    Shadow Metal is roughly the same
[08:20] ---
    as what she was saying.
[08:22] ---
    "A very precious orange color."
[08:24] ---
    "Disciplinary Guides."
    "A DNA computer that produces abilities"?
[08:32] ---
    Huh? Isn't the person in that picture...?
[08:38] ---
    We're back.
[08:39] ---
    Ah, welcome back!
[08:41] ---
    Ugh, I'm sorry, Misaka.
[08:44] ---
    Hey, I acted without thinking, too.
    We're both to blame.
[08:49] ---
    Uiharu, I'm sorry to drag you into this, too.
[08:52] ---
    Oh, I'm just glad you're all right.
[08:54] ---
    So, have you found out anything new since we--
[08:56] ---
    --Hey!
    --Hey!
[08:57] ---
    Have you really learned your lesson?!
[08:59] ---
    Well, uh...
[09:01] ---
    Well, I did check into it my own
    way after everything happened,
[09:05] ---
    but I didn't find anything special.
[09:06] ---
    "File has been deleted"
[09:08] ---
    But never mind that, I did find some good news.
[09:11] ---
    There's a secret spot among secret spots
[09:13] ---
    where we can watch
    the night parade fireworks up close.
[09:16] ---
    Huh? For real?
[09:17] ---
    Is this someplace we can legally get to?
[09:20] ---
    It's all right. I confirmed everything.
[09:23] ---
    Oh, yeah? Doesn't that sound nice? Let's go see.
[09:54] ---
    They are so pretty.
[09:56] ---
    They do this every night during
    the Daihasei Festival, right?
[10:00] ---
    Yes, they do.
[10:02] ---
    Well, let's all meet up here again, okay?
[10:05] ---
    --Okay.
    --Okay.
[10:14] ---
    It just isn't the same not
    sleeping on your own pillow.
[10:18] ---
    So where is the Queen?
[10:19] ---
    No one has seen her since last night.
[10:22] ---
    Oh, Miss Misaka, good morning.
[10:25] ---
    Yeah, good morning.
[10:28] ---
    --You mean, she wasn't at the hotel?
[10:30] ---
    --Members of Shokuho's clique, huh?
    --You mean, she wasn't at the hotel?
[10:32] ---
    --Members of Shokuho's clique, huh?
    --No.
[10:32] ---
    Miss Misaka!
[10:34] ---
    Miss Wannai, morning.
[10:36] ---
    Good morning. Um,
    if I may be bold enough to ask,
[10:41] ---
    when can I expect my gym clothes back?
[10:44] ---
    Your gym clothes...?
[10:47] ---
    Huh? She hasn't come to return them yet?
[10:50] ---
    Pardon?
[10:50] ---
    Oh, I mean... sorry... I, uh...
[10:54] ---
    Coffee! I spilled coffee on them,
[10:57] ---
    and even having them cleaned,
    there will still be a stain,
[10:59] ---
    so let me buy you new ones.
    I'll order another set to be delivered.
[11:03] ---
    No, no, you needn't go to that much trouble.
[11:07] ---
    Mmm... Oh, Tabikake...
[11:10] ---
    A whole night has passed,
    and she hasn't returned the clothes yet?
[11:14] ---
    Has she not had enough fun
    and is trying to pass herself off as me?
[11:17] ---
    No, she isn't like that.
[11:21] ---
    I'm getting...
[11:22] ---
    "#4 Tampering"
[11:22] ---
    ...a bad feeling about this.
[11:28] ---
    These are the surveillance cameras
    near where we parted ways yesterday.
[11:34] ---
    If I look through the recordings,
    I should be able to pick up her trail.
[11:40] ---
    Nothing here. Next.
[11:43] ---
    I have more free time in my schedule today.
[11:48] ---
    Maybe I'm worried over nothing.
[11:51] ---
    But those girls' bodies need
    regular maintenance, and all.
[11:57] ---
    If something has happened to her...
[12:05] ---
    An ambulance?
[12:09] ---
    There she is. It's her!
[12:12] ---
    She's passed out. Is she hurt? Sick?
[12:14] ---
    Mm-mm, this is no time
    to let emotions take over.
[12:19] ---
    Which jurisdiction is this?
[12:23] ---
    "School District 7 Fire Station 3"
[12:26] ---
    Found it.
[12:27] ---
    It has the same number as the one on the camera.
[12:30] ---
    Excuse me!
[12:33] ---
    Who was driving this yesterday?
[12:36] ---
    Yesterday? Me and him.
[12:39] ---
    Did you transport a girl
    with shoulder-length brownish hair
[12:43] ---
    a little before noon?
[12:44] ---
    Oh, that girl?
[12:46] ---
    Mm-hmm, we took her.
[12:49] ---
    That girl is a friend of mine.
[12:52] ---
    Would you please be able to tell me
    which hospital you transported her to?
[12:56] ---
    It's the one right over there. You see it?
[12:59] ---
    That one...
[13:01] ---
    is the real-life Gekota doctor's hospital.
[13:03] ---
    He knows the situation with the Sisters.
[13:07] ---
    Thank you very much!
[13:11] ---
    If she was taken there, then I'm sure...
[13:13] ---
    "Reception"
[13:15] ---
    Huh? She wasn't brought here?
[13:18] ---
    No. There are no records of
    any emergency cases at that time.
[13:22] ---
    But the ambulance crew
    told me they brought her here.
[13:25] ---
    Perhaps they confused us with another hospital?
[13:30] ---
    No, there's no mistake. Right?
[13:33] ---
    Yeah. We definitely took her to that hospital.
[13:36] ---
    But they don't have any record--
[13:39] ---
    Wait, something's wrong.
[13:41] ---
    She was wearing gym clothes from Tokiwadai.
[13:44] ---
    --If they took her, then regardless of the hospital,
    --We got the call, and drove to the scene...
[13:47] ---
    --they would have also contacted the school.
    --We got the call, and drove to the scene...
[13:47] ---
    --they would have also contacted the school.
    --Right, and we picked up the girl, who was unconscious.
[13:49] ---
    --It's strange that a whole night has
    gone by with no action from the school!
    --Right, and we picked up the girl, who was unconscious.
[13:50] ---
    --It's strange that a whole night has
    gone by with no action from the school!
    --We contacted base, like we always do...
[13:54] ---
    Excuse me,
[13:54] ---
    but are you telling the truth?
[13:56] ---
    Huh?
[13:56] ---
    Okay, can you tell me the name of
    the hospital staff you turned her over to,
[13:59] ---
    or tell me what else happened when you did so?
[14:01] ---
    Of course we can. You see...
[14:05] ---
    Huh?
[14:06] ---
    Hey, you going addle-brained?
    Remember, we... Huh?
[14:10] ---
    Ah, hey!
[14:11] ---
    If I check the ambulance's route history...
[14:15] ---
    I knew it. They didn't go to the hospital.
[14:18] ---
    They went to an underground
    parking garage, then came back!
[14:21] ---
    Hey, come down out of there!
[14:22] ---
    She was taken there in this ambulance and
    moved to another car in the parking garage?
[14:27] ---
    --Then, where is she now--
    --That's enough, already!
[14:29] ---
    What's going on here?!
[14:31] ---
    From what I see on your route history,
    you never went to the hospital!
[14:35] ---
    Would you explain that, if you can?!
[14:38] ---
    That can't be right.
[14:39] ---
    I have conclusive proof!
    You can't talk your way out of this!
[14:42] ---
    Huh? You're the girl from yesterday...?
[14:46] ---
    What's going on?
[14:47] ---
    Why would the same girl we transported
    be faking like she went nowhere?
[14:52] ---
    Y-You're wrong! I'm...
[14:54] ---
    Hold on.
[14:56] ---
    I knew I'd seen you before somewhere.
[14:59] ---
    You're that Level 5 girl, right?
    The one that controls electricity or whatever.
[15:03] ---
    You sure you didn't use your ability
    to tamper with the route history?
[15:07] ---
    Wha-- There's no way I'd do that!
[15:11] ---
    I apologize for keeping my identity a secret.
[15:13] ---
    --But don't lie to me! Tell me the truth!
    --Hey! What are you doing?!
[15:16] ---
    --I-I'm not lying to you!
    --S-Somebody! Somebody, come here!
[15:18] ---
    If you're not lying,
    then what's wrong with your memories?!
[15:21] ---
    Everything you told me is untrue--
[15:24] ---
    Memories...? Tampering...?
[15:27] ---
    It couldn't be...
[15:30] ---
    You there! Take your hands off of him!
[15:35] ---
    There just isn't any spark
    of life in her face, you know?
[15:39] ---
    She said that the thought of
    five more nights away from Miss Misaka
[15:43] ---
    is sapping her will to live.
[15:46] ---
    Ah, that explains it.
[15:50] ---
    Huh? Uiharu?
[15:53] ---
    This street is not on our patrol route.
[15:56] ---
    Huh? That can't be true. I remember this was...
[16:00] ---
    See for yourself.
[16:02] ---
    Huh? You're right.
[16:04] ---
    Honestly, before you second-guess others,
    please pull yourself together.
[16:10] ---
    How could I have made that mistake?
[16:12] ---
    Now, now, it's no problem to circle back around.
[16:16] ---
    Do you have a moment?
[16:17] ---
    Are you ladies with Judgment?
[16:20] ---
    Uh, y-yes.
[16:21] ---
    I am a spectator from the outside,
[16:25] ---
    and I just got robbed right over there.
[16:27] ---
    Oh, that's awful!
[16:29] ---
    What did they steal from you?
[16:31] ---
    --Also, please tell me whatever you
    can about what the culprit looked like,
[16:32] ---
    --It turns out that taking the
    wrong route worked out all right.
    --Also, please tell me whatever you can about what the culprit looked like,
[16:35] ---
    --Hey! Watch what you say.
    --Also, please tell me whatever you
    can about what the culprit looked like,
[16:35] ---
    --Hey! Watch what you say.
    
    --and which way they ran.
[16:42] ---
    I can't...
[16:43] ---
    ...move...
[16:45] ---
    ...or teleport...
[16:47] ---
    What was taken was... let's see...
[16:50] ---
    ...your memories of Misaka Mikoto, let's say.
[16:55] ---
    I really am terribly sorry about this!
[16:59] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[17:02] ---
    For heaven's sake, what were you thinking?
[17:05] ---
    Very nearly committing assault
    while pranking a public agency?
[17:10] ---
    It's lucky for us that they
    were accommodating enough
[17:13] ---
    to not let this become a big incident.
[17:15] ---
    What exactly brought this on?
[17:18] ---
    While waiting for Miss Watanabe to arrive,
[17:21] ---
    I tried asking all kinds of trick questions,
[17:23] ---
    but they didn't seem to be lying.
[17:26] ---
    Which means that sure enough...
[17:28] ---
    I suspect that Shokuho Misaki
    is misusing her ability
[17:31] ---
    to cover up her committing crimes.
[17:33] ---
    If that is true, it is a serious matter.
[17:37] ---
    Do you have any evidence
    that forces you to that conclusion?
[17:40] ---
    Well, I...
[17:42] ---
    It's no use. Any way I explain this,
    I have to mention the Sisters.
[17:49] ---
    I can't say what is going on, specifically...
[17:52] ---
    Then that makes it difficult
    for me to do anything.
[17:57] ---
    Miss Misaka,
[17:59] ---
    the Daihasei Festival is currently underway.
[18:02] ---
    The attention of the world
    is focused on Academy City.
[18:05] ---
    As a Level 5, you must conduct yourself
[18:08] ---
    not only as a representative of our school,
    but of all of Academy City.
[18:12] ---
    I do realize the tremendous
    pressure this places upon you,
[18:16] ---
    but please refrain from thoughtless
    behavior even more than usual.
[18:20] ---
    You can understand that, right?
[18:22] ---
    Yes.
[18:25] ---
    I don't get it. Assuming Shokuho
    manipulated the ambulance crew
[18:28] ---
    to turn them into traffickers,
    what is her objective?
[18:32] ---
    Mm-mm, right now, that doesn't matter.
[18:35] ---
    Whatever the case, once the
    competition gets started, I'll slip out.
[18:38] ---
    The underground parking garage where
    the ambulance went is my only lead.
[18:43] ---
    Oh, this works out perfectly. Ladies,
[18:47] ---
    could I ask you for a favor?
[18:49] ---
    Miss Misaka here is feeling a
    little emotionally unstable right now,
[18:54] ---
    so I'd like for you to keep your eyes on her.
[18:56] ---
    Sure, we don't mind.
[18:58] ---
    Guards? And of all people,
[19:01] ---
    members of Shokuho Misaki's clique?
[19:04] ---
    My, Miss Misaka,
[19:06] ---
    I have long wanted to
    have a nice long chat with you.
[19:11] ---
    I will be looking forward to it.
[19:13] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[19:15] ---
    We shouldn't be causing
    trouble for our teachers.
[19:19] ---
    Miss Misaka, you're such a mischievous girl.
[19:21] ---
    What is this? I can't take it.
[19:24] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[19:26] ---
    Was that telepathy?
[19:28] ---
    Since I'm going to be watching you,
[19:30] ---
    I've connected a line to you.
[19:33] ---
    --While this line is connected,
    I will be aware of your general whereabouts.
[19:37] ---
    --Miss Misaka?
    --While this line is connected,
    I will be aware of your general whereabouts.
[19:40] ---
    If you run away,
[19:41] ---
    we will come after you at full force.
[19:46] ---
    Please start driving.
[19:48] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:50] ---
    I am sorry, Miss Misaka.
[19:53] ---
    It was not my hope to throw
    a wet blanket over this nice festival...
[19:59] ---
    but Miss Shokuho's "Optimization" is absolute.
[20:04] ---
    I can shake them off if I really try...
[20:07] ---
    At least I think so...
[20:10] ---
    But collecting more information
    while on the run will be really hard.
[20:17] ---
    I don't sense any open hostility
    from the clique members.
[20:21] ---
    Does that mean that Shokuho
    hasn't told them anything?
[20:25] ---
    Is that...
[20:27] ---
    Kuroko! And Miss Uiharu and Miss Saten, too!
[20:30] ---
    Uh, could I go and talk
    to my friends really quick?
[20:33] ---
    I won't run away.
[20:34] ---
    Huh? Okay.
[20:35] ---
    I can't say too much about this.
[20:37] ---
    I'll get them to help me
    without causing them any trouble.
[20:41] ---
    Kuroko! I need a little fa--
[20:45] ---
    --vor...
[20:46] ---
    What is this?
[20:47] ---
    Can I ask you to not
    call out my name so casually?
[20:51] ---
    How overly familiar.
[20:52] ---
    Miss Shirai, is she a friend of yours?
[20:55] ---
    No.
[20:56] ---
    This is Misaka Mikoto,
    an upperclassman at my school.
[21:00] ---
    Oh, you're famous! They call you "Railgun,"
    if I remember correctly!
[21:05] ---
    K-Kuroko,
[21:07] ---
    you aren't all collectively
    pulling my leg, are you?
[21:11] ---
    What are you talking about?
[21:13] ---
    Miss Uiharu... and Miss Saten...
[21:16] ---
    How does she know our names?
[21:18] ---
    Miss Shirai, did you tell her?
[21:21] ---
    No. We are not even acquainted.
[21:24] ---
    I do not know where you heard about us,
[21:28] ---
    but if you are in some trouble,
    I will hear what you have to say,
[21:31] ---
    as a member of Judgment.
[21:34] ---
    No...
[21:36] ---
    ...that's okay.
[21:40] ---
    You've really done it now...
[21:42] ---
    Shokuho!
[21:44] ---
    Now you're messing with my friends, too. This...
[21:51] ---
    ...has gone way beyond just horsing around!
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:26] ---
    Shokuho, what do you think you're doing,
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#5 Trust"
[23:28] ---
    tampering with Kuroko and the others' memories?
[23:30] ---
    Not to mention having
    your clique stand guard over me,
[23:32] ---
    and keeping me from looking for her!
    I have to do something...
[23:35] ---
    Miss Misaka, please let me,
    Kongo Mitsuko, deal with this!
[23:40] ---
    Huh?
[23:41] ---
    
[23:43] ---

[00:01] ---
    K-Kuroko,
[00:04] ---
    you aren't all collectively
    pulling my leg, are you?
[00:07] ---
    What are you talking about?
[00:09] ---
    Miss Uiharu... and Miss Saten...
[00:12] ---
    How does she know our names?
[00:15] ---
    Miss Shirai, did you tell her?
[00:17] ---
    No. We are not even acquainted.
[00:20] ---
    I do not know where you heard about us,
[00:25] ---
    but if you are in some trouble,
    I will hear what you have to say,
[00:28] ---
    as a member of Judgment.
[00:30] ---
    No...
[00:32] ---
    ...that's okay.
[00:36] ---
    You've really done it now...
[00:38] ---
    Shokuho!
[00:40] ---
    Now you're messing with my friends, too. This...
[00:46] ---
    ...has gone way beyond just horsing around!
[00:52] ---
    If I show Kuroko and the others
    our dorm room or some photo albums,
[00:56] ---
    I'll be able to explain to them that
    their memories are being manipulated.
[01:00] ---
    But...
[01:02] ---
    ...will they even cooperate with me
    when they see me as a total stranger?
[01:10] ---
    I don't want to drag them into it like this.
[01:14] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[01:16] ---
    We need to start getting
    ready for the next competition.
[01:20] ---
    What is her objective
    if she's taking things this far?
[01:23] ---
    Now that she has me immobilized like this,
[01:25] ---
    what can I even do?
[01:43] ---
    "A Certain Magical Railgun T"
[02:59] ---
    You are in top form, Miss Kongo.
[03:01] ---
    Yes. Even the color commentary
    person complimented you.
[03:06] ---
    It sounds like the color commentary
    person has a keen eye.
[03:10] ---
    What was that all about?
[03:12] ---
    I wanted to talk to her a little longer.
[03:15] ---
    You were just infatuated
    by meeting someone famous.
[03:19] ---
    Still, it seemed to me like
    she wanted to say something.
[03:23] ---
    Miss Shirai? And Miss Saten
    and Miss Uiharu, too...
[03:26] ---
    Ah, Kongo, hi there.
[03:29] ---
    Miss Shirai, how are you feeling?
[03:31] ---
    As the one who took over
    in the competition for you,
[03:34] ---
    I have made sure to take first place.
[03:39] ---
    Huh? Why are you acting so sullen?
[03:42] ---
    There is a girl they call
    "Railgun" at our school, right?
[03:46] ---
    She just lashed out at us a moment ago.
[03:50] ---
    She came up to us
    and asked if we were pulling her leg.
[03:55] ---
    Ah, would you please continue
    taking my place in the competition?
[03:59] ---
    S-Sure...
[04:01] ---
    Uiharu!
[04:02] ---
    Okay, bye.
[04:03] ---
    Yeah...
[04:04] ---
    Take care.
[04:07] ---
    Could Miss Shirai be having
    a fight with Miss Misaka or something?
[04:13] ---
    They usually seem to get along
    so well with each other.
[04:18] ---
    Miss Shirai, you sure were signed up
    to compete in a lot of events.
[04:23] ---
    Hmm? Yeah, you're right.
    And they're all pairs events, too.
[04:27] ---
    Hmm? Pairs?
[04:29] ---
    Our next pairs event is the Balloon Sandwich!
[04:33] ---
    Each team of two holds a balloon
    between them without using their hands,
[04:36] ---
    and races to carry it to the goal line!
[04:38] ---
    --As soon as the balloon breaks,
    the team is disqualified!
[04:40] ---
    As soon as the balloon breaks,
    the team is disqualified!
[04:40] ---
    --Now really isn't the time to be doing this.
[04:43] ---
    I have to get out of this somehow
    and go looking for her.
[04:46] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[04:49] ---
    Is it all right if I blow up our balloon?
[04:52] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm.
[04:56] ---
    Go ahead, Sissy!
[04:58] ---
    Please embrace me!
[05:01] ---
    Hey, if the balloon breaks, we're out, you know!
[05:05] ---
    Kuroko couldn't control herself,
    and we didn't get any practice done.
[05:09] ---
    Can I ask you to not
    call out my name so casually?
[05:15] ---
    By the way, Miss Misaka,
    I was not aware you had a twin sister.
[05:19] ---
    Huh?
[05:20] ---
    Yesterday, during the Balloon Hunter,
[05:22] ---
    that was your sister who entered, was it not?
[05:25] ---
    Miss Kongo,
[05:27] ---
    you could tell that wasn't me?
[05:29] ---
    Oh, I have quite the eye
    when it comes to sizing people up.
[05:33] ---
    Let us just say that there is a
    subtle difference in the air about her.
[05:38] ---
    Listen, Miss Kongo,
[05:40] ---
    I need to ask you for a favor.
[05:43] ---
    --Tokiwadai sure is a powerhouse, huh?
    --They're one of the five fingers, and all.
[05:46] ---
    Congratulations.
[05:47] ---
    Yeah, thanks.
[05:49] ---
    Y--
[05:51] ---
    You take sneaky cruelty to
    a whole new level, Shokuho Misaki!
[05:54] ---
    Miss Kongo, keep it down, keep it down!
[05:58] ---
    To kidnap your sister,
[06:00] ---
    to say nothing of manipulating
    Miss Shirai and the others' memories?
[06:04] ---
    She is not fit to be a student at Tokiwadai.
[06:09] ---
    I understand what you are telling me.
[06:11] ---
    I will look into what happened with your sister,
[06:14] ---
    so Miss Misaka, please keep
    the Shokuho clique's attention off of me.
[06:18] ---
    I'm sorry for getting you involved
    in my personal business.
[06:22] ---
    But whatever you do,
    don't get in over your head.
[06:25] ---
    The scary thing about her is that
    we don't know what she's thinking.
[06:29] ---
    If only I had a lead,
    I could do something about this myself.
[06:35] ---
    No...
[06:36] ---
    Miss Misaka, you should not
    trust any information I give you.
[06:41] ---
    Huh? Why not?
[06:44] ---
    Because I may have already
    been brainwashed by Shokuho Misaki.
[06:49] ---
    Any and all information
    I give you will be false.
[06:54] ---
    You should consider that possibility.
[06:57] ---
    Oh, man...
[06:58] ---
    Yes. No one would trust me
    after I said something like that, right?
[07:03] ---
    So I will bring you not information,
    but your sister herself.
[07:09] ---
    I hate to do this after
    telling you not to trust me,
[07:12] ---
    but please believe me and wait for me to return.
[07:16] ---
    Miss Kongo...
[07:17] ---
    Way to win first place.
[07:19] ---
    As impressive as always.
[07:21] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[07:26] ---
    The reason she did not turn Miss Shirai
    and the others against Miss Misaka
[07:30] ---
    was probably because she did
    not feel it was necessary to go that far.
[07:34] ---
    If her objective is the sister,
[07:36] ---
    then the whole course of events
    was simply meant to buy some time.
[07:39] ---
    And at best, all she needed
    was a stopgap measure, at that.
[07:44] ---
    I think I had better hurry this up.
[08:04] ---
    Don't do anything crazy, Miss Kongo.
[08:07] ---
    If you put yourself in danger,
    even to help her...
[08:11] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[08:14] ---
    Your cell phone...
[08:15] ---
    Oh no, has she gotten suspicious?
[08:17] ---
    ...is the Lovely Mitten Gekota model, isn't it?
[08:20] ---
    Huh? Why yes, it is.
[08:24] ---
    As it happens, I have one, too.
[08:25] ---
    Pyonko?!
[08:27] ---
    I saw the Gekota strap on your bag
    and wondered if you were into them.
[08:32] ---
    Oh, so that's why...
[08:34] ---
    Miss Misaka, I have long wanted
    to have a nice long chat with you.
[08:39] ---
    I sure do wish that they weren't labeled
    as being for children, you know?
[08:44] ---
    I always get funny looks from mothers
    who have their children with them.
[08:47] ---
    Yeah, I know what you mean.
[08:48] ---
    My dorm rules keep me from lining up
    early on the day the new ones come out.
[08:53] ---
    Speaking of new releases, you know
    the regional series that just went on sale?
[08:57] ---
    Don't you think they're thumbing
    their noses at us Gekoers?
[08:59] ---
    They aren't paying enough
    respect to the original story!
[09:02] ---
    --They're really getting into it over there.
[09:02] ---
    --I wish they'd learn from this year's
    M-Fest mail-order limited editions.
[09:06] ---
    Aw, I still haven't gotten my hands on one.
[09:09] ---
    They haven't come up
    on any net auctions, either.
[09:11] ---
    Oh, in that case, I have two of
    them--one to enjoy, and one to save.
[09:17] ---
    You have two?!
[09:18] ---
    Tell you what. If you do
    your best in today's events,
[09:22] ---
    I'll give you the one I'm saving.
[09:25] ---
    Huh? Really--
[09:28] ---
    What a sophisticated trap!
[09:33] ---
    I'm telling you, Misaka Mikoto
    has definitely been neutralized.
[09:38] ---
    I injected her with that nanodevice,
    so there's no way she can move.
[09:43] ---
    Besides, securing her is your job, isn't it?
[09:46] ---
    Are you sure she wasn't taken
    to some hospital somewhere?
[09:50] ---
    Well, I guess that's good enough for now.
[09:53] ---
    Baba, I have another job for you to do.
[09:56] ---
    Another?
[09:58] ---
    Your target...
[09:59] ---
    ...will be Misaka Mikoto's clones...
[10:02] ---
    "#5 Trust"
[10:02] ---
    ...the Sisters.
[10:06] ---
    According to what Miss Misaka said,
[10:08] ---
    this is the location where she and
    her sister last saw each other. Which means,
[10:13] ---
    it is also likely that this is where she
    came into contact with Shokuho Misaki.
[10:17] ---
    There is something not quite right about this.
[10:19] ---
    Is Miss Misaka's sister not at a
    high enough Level to avoid Mental Out?
[10:25] ---
    She could have simply used her ability
[10:27] ---
    to order her to go someplace
    where she would not be seen.
[10:31] ---
    Why would she have gone to the
    extra steps of capturing and relocating her?
[10:36] ---
    What if it was not her ability
    that incapacitated her sister,
[10:39] ---
    but some other circumstance,
    unforeseen to Shokuho Misaki, as well?
[10:45] ---
    If that is true,
[10:47] ---
    then there may be a clue around here.
[10:51] ---
    Is that...
[10:53] ---
    ...the character Miss Misaka
    likes so much--Kerozo, was it?
[10:59] ---
    Isn't that...?
[11:02] ---
    H-Hey, you!
[11:04] ---
    You should not pick on those weaker than you!
[11:08] ---
    You are all right now.
[11:13] ---
    Look, I know you must still
    be uneasy, but right now,
[11:17] ---
    I do not have a moment to spare.
[11:25] ---
    I really do not have time for this.
[11:28] ---
    For now, I will take you to Judgment.
[11:31] ---
    Oh? Miss Kongo!
    You seem to be in a hurry. What is happen--
[11:34] ---
    Perfect timing! I hate to do this to you,
[11:37] ---
    --but could you hang on to--
    --Oh?
[11:40] ---
    Does this kitty cat belong to Miss Misaka?
[11:43] ---
    Huh?
[11:43] ---
    It does?
[11:45] ---
    I am not 100% sure, myself,
[11:49] ---
    but it looks like the cat I looked after
    during the Balloon Hunter competition.
[11:53] ---
    Balloon Hunter?
    Then this is Miss Misaka's sister's...
[11:58] ---
    Miss Misaka has a sister?
[12:01] ---
    Er, um, I do not have time
    to go into detail right now,
[12:06] ---
    but Miss Misaka asked me to help look
    for her sister, who has gone missing.
[12:12] ---
    Missing?
[12:13] ---
    This cat was where I believe
    her sister got into some trouble.
[12:18] ---
    Well, I am not sure what
    all the circumstances are,
[12:22] ---
    but I know a psychometrist on
    the swim team who can mediate with animals.
[12:26] ---
    Knowing her, she may be able
    to make contact with this cat.
[12:31] ---
    Oh, my!
[12:35] ---
    Mama, look!
[12:37] ---
    A robot dog!
[12:38] ---
    Wow, you're right.
[12:40] ---
    That's Academy City for you.
[12:40] ---
    --Nagatenjouki is running away with this.
    --Whoa, look at all these people!
[12:43] ---
    --Wow, who's going to have this strawberry yakisoba?
    --Are they doing the night parade again tonight?
[12:46] ---
    --That girl in pink is so cute!
[12:46] ---
    --Then it might provide a clue
    to finding Miss Misaka's sister!
[12:52] ---
    A Tokiwadai student... Misaka... sister?
[12:56] ---
    I'm going to go call her.
    Please wait here a moment.
[13:01] ---
    All right, then.
[13:05] ---
    Imagine, this little kitty being a clue.
[13:08] ---
    A girl who possesses psychometry
    would be too far removed from Miss Misaka,
[13:12] ---
    and Shokuho Misaki's reach
    would not have extended to her.
[13:15] ---
    I brought your sister back, just as I promised!
[13:19] ---
    Thank you, Miss Kongo! You saved the day!
[13:22] ---
    --Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
    --Excuse me...
[13:25] ---
    Yes?
[13:26] ---
    What can I do for you?
[13:27] ---
    I was hoping to have a word with you.
[13:30] ---
    Um, I am afraid I have little time right now--
[13:32] ---
    It concerns Misaka Mikoto's sister.
[13:37] ---
    There are so many people around here.
[13:40] ---
    Why don't we go somewhere else?
[13:43] ---
    Huh...
[13:44] ---
    A Daihasei Festival limited edition.
    I'm sure it's already been checked off,
[13:50] ---
    but I'd better ask, just to be sure.
[13:54] ---
    Ask who...?
[13:59] ---
    Miss Kongo? With...
[14:02] ---
    ...who is that?
[14:06] ---
    When you say her "sister," does
    that come from the "Sisters" nickname?
[14:12] ---
    Or were you introduced
    to her as being her actual sister?
[14:17] ---
    Well, I guess it doesn't matter either way.
[14:19] ---
    You see, I, too, was asked
    to safeguard this "sister" of hers.
[14:26] ---
    If you wouldn't mind,
[14:27] ---
    could we compare our notes on what we each know?
[14:30] ---
    While I appreciate your offer,
[14:33] ---
    I am afraid that I will first need you
    to explain to me who you are,
[14:39] ---
    and for what purpose
    you are looking for her sister.
[14:43] ---
    Yes, I suppose you would. However,
[14:46] ---
    perhaps you'd rather just
    blindly tell me what your "lead" is.
[14:51] ---
    Because if you don't...
[14:56] ---
    A robot?!
[14:58] ---
    ...I will end up using drugs
    to force it out of you.
[15:02] ---
    You just keep your distance, please!
[15:04] ---
    My suspicions exploded from the very start,
[15:07] ---
    so I figured he was working with Shokuho Misaki,
[15:10] ---
    but if he really is looking for her sister,
    is he with a different interest?
[15:15] ---
    I tagged along, thinking that maybe
    I could get some information out of him,
[15:18] ---
    but whatever the case,
    it does not change the fact...
[15:23] ---
    ...that he is Miss Misaka's enemy.
[15:28] ---
    Look! Look!
[15:29] ---
    --I need to find a way to get away from here.
[15:29] ---
    --All right, while we wait for the
    next competition to start, we should--
[15:35] ---
    Wah! My balloon!
[15:37] ---
    This is it!
[15:47] ---
    --Thanks, miss!
    --Miss Misaka, look out!
[15:51] ---
    Whoa. I accidentally jumped aboard.
[15:55] ---
    Now I can't get down.
[15:57] ---
    There, that was just an unfortunate accident,
    so it's not my fault, right?
[16:00] ---
    Miss Misaka...
[16:02] ---
    ...you should wait for us at the next stop...
[16:04] ---
    I'm outside of her effective
    telepathic range. Now...
[16:08] ---
    Are you hurt, Miss Misaka?
[16:11] ---
    Yes, we caught up to her. She's safe.
    We'll get off at the next station,
[16:15] ---
    --and if we can't catch a train back,
    we'll call a taxi.
[16:15] ---
    --So you can easily catch up to a
    train running away from you, can you?
[16:15] ---
    --and if we can't catch a train back, we'll call a taxi.
[16:19] ---
    --So you can easily catch up to a
    train running away from you, can you?
[16:19] ---
    --Yes, we will.
[16:20] ---
    I am so sorry about this...
[16:29] ---
    You aren't getting away.
    I researched your ability after your race.
[16:34] ---
    Your ability involves creating air jets
    on objects and launching them.
[16:38] ---
    But then,
[16:39] ---
    there is nothing here
    for you to use your ability on.
[16:43] ---
    That's the reason I brought you here.
[16:46] ---
    If you'll just give in and talk to me,
    you won't have to get hurt here.
[16:50] ---
    And if you don't...!
[16:54] ---
    Wh-What?!
[16:59] ---
    You have made two mistakes
    concerning Aero Hand, my ability!
[17:05] ---
    First,
[17:06] ---
    there is no restriction on
    where I can place my jets.
[17:10] ---
    You created a jet on the ground?
[17:13] ---
    And secondly...
[17:20] ---
    Th-The parabolic antenna?!
[17:23] ---
    ...if I bundle my jets together,
[17:25] ---
    I can produce enough output to launch
[17:27] ---
    even heavy equipment into the stratosphere!
[17:30] ---
    There is nothing that I cannot send flying!
[17:37] ---
    I can just pay for whatever I destroy!
[17:40] ---
    It looks like you are
    the one who will be giving in!
[17:44] ---
    I had no idea she possessed this much power!
[17:49] ---
    The Great Dane Types don't pack enough punch.
[17:52] ---
    If I can just create a brief opening...
[18:01] ---
    Hmm, Miss Kongo is not here, is she?
[18:05] ---
    Are you sure this is the right place?
[18:08] ---
    Y-Yes. This is where I told her to wait for us.
[18:13] ---
    I'm sorry for making you come all the way here.
[18:16] ---
    That's okay. If you find her,
    please feel free to call me again.
[18:21] ---
    Bye, now.
[18:24] ---
    Where could she have gone?
[18:26] ---
    Huh?
[18:27] ---
    Miss Saten?
[18:28] ---
    Oh, we keep running into each other.
[18:31] ---
    Did you happen to see Miss Kongo?
[18:41] ---
    Suddenly... I'm feeling faint...
[18:46] ---
    I'm surprised.
[18:47] ---
    I went for the cat,
    and you actually leapt in to defend it.
[18:54] ---
    That won't help.
    I just injected you with a nanodevice
[18:57] ---
    that deprives you of control over your body.
[19:00] ---
    They're quite valuable,
    so I was hoping I wouldn't have to use it.
[19:04] ---
    At least... let the cat...
[19:09] ---
    ...find its way... back to Miss Misaka...
[19:13] ---
    By any chance, are you doing this
    because Misaka Mikoto asked you to?
[19:17] ---
    For nothing in return? All for someone else?
[19:21] ---
    It's hilarious that you ended up
    having this happen to you as a result.
[19:25] ---
    I mean, what a terrible girl she is.
[19:28] ---
    To snow-job you into this,
    when it has nothing to do with you.
[19:32] ---
    Those Level 5s really are all the same...
[19:42] ---
    You take...
[19:45] ---
    ...that back...
[19:47] ---
    She is not... Miss Misaka is not
    someone who uses other people... This is...
[19:56] ---
    ...something I decided to do all on my own...
[19:59] ---
    Someone like you... might not understand that...
[20:07] ---
    Buzz off, will you?!
[20:09] ---
    Don't you talk down to me! You ended up...
[20:12] ---
    ...not being able...
[20:13] ---
    ...to do anything, did you?! Huh?!
[20:17] ---
    You're completely useless, you know that?!
[20:21] ---
    The fact that Misaka Mikoto
    can only use trash like you
[20:25] ---
    proves she's a complete disaster--
[20:28] ---
    Whoa, that was a close one.
[20:31] ---
    I'd be screwed if she dies before
    I get any information out of her.
[20:35] ---
    Aw, what a drag. The lower the life form,
[20:37] ---
    the easier it is for them to piss someone off.
[20:40] ---
    Great Dane Types, carry this girl away--
[20:43] ---
    Miss Kongo?!
[20:48] ---
    How awful. How did...?
[20:54] ---
    You did this to her?
[20:55] ---
    So what if I did? It doesn't matter
    how human debris ends up, does it?
[21:01] ---
    Wha--?!
[21:02] ---
    The girl said she was here acting
    on behalf of Misaka Mikoto.
[21:06] ---
    The fact that she yielded her will
    to someone else makes her second-class.
[21:10] ---
    And since she wasn't able
    to carry out the role she was given,
[21:13] ---
    that makes her worse than third-class!
[21:15] ---
    Truly human debris.
[21:16] ---
    Why, you...!
[21:21] ---
    Miss Saten,
[21:23] ---
    I hate to ask this, but could
    you take Miss Kongo and the cat...
[21:27] ---
    ...and move them someplace safe for me?
[21:31] ---
    But...
[21:34] ---
    If we do not keep that cat safe,
[21:37] ---
    all of Miss Kongo's effort
    will have been for nothing.
[21:42] ---
    Besides...
[21:46] ---
    ...you are not the only one...
[21:49] ---
    ...who is having trouble
    controlling their anger...
[21:52] ---
    ...at having one of their friends being insulted.
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:26] ---
    Miss Awatsuki, I have never felt
    such a strong impulse as this before.
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#6 The Battle Begins"
[23:30] ---
    Neither have I. Miss Wannai,
    we need to have a word with that gentleman
[23:33] ---
    who insulted Miss Kongo like that!
[23:34] ---
    Yes!
[23:35] ---
    For a high-schooler, you have the
    verbal skills of someone in middle school!
[23:41] ---

    Besides...
[00:05] ---
    ...you are not the only one...
[00:07] ---
    ...who is having trouble
    controlling their anger...
[00:10] ---
    ...at having one of
    their friends being insulted.
[00:16] ---
    Anger at having your friend insulted?
[00:19] ---
    Is psychological dependence on
    others becoming a trend or something?
[00:30] ---
    You try to look like a hero,
    doing something for someone else,
[00:32] ---
    but when you find yourself stuck
    in a situation you can't get out of,
[00:36] ---
    you just blame it on them and wish you hadn't.
[00:40] ---
    It looks like people
    with no sense of imagination
[00:43] ---
    can't understand that unless
    they experience it for themselves.
[00:51] ---
    Water?
[01:00] ---
    I've always heard that
    unconscious people were heavy, but...
[01:04] ---
    She's gotten lighter...?
[01:06] ---
    Is this your ability, Awatsuki?
[01:09] ---
    It won't last very long.
[01:11] ---
    Please hurry off, while you have the chance.
[01:13] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[01:16] ---
    Whoa, there!
[01:17] ---
    Do you think I'm just going
    to let you walk away from this?
[01:23] ---
    Whoo!
[01:26] ---
    If that's all you've got,
    my Great Dane Types can leap over them!
[01:41] ---
    The only lead I have...!
[01:44] ---
    Yeah, right.
[01:46] ---
    Even after injecting its nanodevice,
[01:49] ---
    the Mosquito Type can still come
    in handy for its GPS transmitter.
[01:52] ---
    As long as I have her trail,
    I can do whatever I have to once I finish here.
[01:56] ---
    But for right now...
[01:59] ---
    ...I'll have to take care of these two.
[02:18] ---
    "A Certain Magical Railgun T"
[03:38] ---
    I need to call an ambulance and Antiskill.
[03:41] ---
    I hope Wannai and Awatsuki are all right.
[03:51] ---
    Yes?
[03:51] ---
    Well, Baba? Is everything moving along smoothly?
[03:54] ---
    Yes, without a hitch.
[03:59] ---
    Great Dane Types, you've gotta get in there!
[04:02] ---
    What's this, now?
[04:03] ---
    Baba, are you in the middle of a fight?
[04:05] ---
    It just sort of happened.
    So this might take a little more time.
[04:09] ---
    Are you okay? Should I send in reinforcements?
[04:12] ---
    No, there's no need.
[04:14] ---
    You sure?
[04:15] ---
    I'm so worried about you,
    I can't do anything else.
[04:19] ---
    She's such a liar.
[04:20] ---
    Okay, how about I just retrieve your leads?
[04:24] ---
    Unfortunately, I still don't
    have any helpful intel yet.
[04:28] ---
    So tweak the data to delay
    Antiskill's arrival, if you would.
[04:32] ---
    You idiot. You think I'm going
    to let you steal all my credit?
[04:36] ---
    Now, those two didn't
    compete in the Balloon Hunter,
[04:40] ---
    so I haven't checked out their abilities,
[04:43] ---
    but the chestnut-haired
    one's ability is Hydro Hand.
[04:45] ---
    If the Great Dane Types get drawn into
    the water, even they could be in danger,
[04:49] ---
    but she's not so strong that she can
    land a fatal blow while fighting on land.
[04:55] ---
    The braided-hair one uses telekinesis, is it?
[04:59] ---
    But seeing as how she
    can't pin down a Great Dane Type,
[05:03] ---
    she doesn't have all that much power.
[05:07] ---
    Their abilities put them both around Level 3.
[05:09] ---
    I doubt they've had much combat experience,
[05:12] ---
    but they seem to be making
    do pretty well by attacking in sync.
[05:15] ---
    I have a limited number of pawns to use, myself.
[05:21] ---
    Wow, not too shabby at all.
[05:25] ---
    I am looking for Misaka Mikoto's Sis--
    er, her twin, you see.
[05:31] ---
    You there, with the chestnut hair--
[05:33] ---
    you called that girl earlier
    Kongo Mitsuko, right?
[05:36] ---
    You were discussing something
    about a lead on her sister, weren't you?
[05:39] ---
    Would you mind telling me what that lead is?
[05:43] ---
    I'm not asking you to give it
    to me for free, of course.
[05:46] ---
    There is a nanodevice inside here.
[05:49] ---
    A real high-caliber model,
    which can immobilize whoever it's used on.
[05:53] ---
    I injected one of these
    into Kongo Mitsuko earlier.
[05:56] ---
    It's the truth. Using a mosquito-shaped
    robot, with just a little "pfft."
[06:01] ---
    When I touched Miss Kongo,
    she had a pretty high fever.
[06:05] ---
    I think there's probably at least
    some truth to what he is saying.
[06:08] ---
    It's tricky to remove a
    nanodevice once it's been injected.
[06:12] ---
    But if you had this, you may be
    able to find a shutdown command.
[06:17] ---
    Would you like to exchange
    your information for it?
[06:20] ---
    You want to help your friend, don't you?
[06:25] ---
    We cannot tell what it is to someone like you.
[06:29] ---
    However, we will be taking that nanodevice.
[06:32] ---
    --Even if we have to take it by force!
    --Even if we have to take it by force!
[06:36] ---
    Well, well, negotiations
    have broken down. Oh, well...
[06:41] ---
    One of these two has already
    been used and is empty.
[06:45] ---
    The other one has the nanodevice inside it.
[06:50] ---
    Which one is the right one?
[06:52] ---
    Miss Awatsuki!
[06:53] ---
    Right!
[06:59] ---
    They know it's a trap, and still they split up.
[07:01] ---
    These girls are a couple of pushovers.
[07:05] ---
    Stop right there! Where are you--?
[07:09] ---
    Come on, now! You have
    to start chasing me, or I'll get away!
[07:18] ---
    In the Balloon Sandwich,
[07:19] ---
    "Daihasei Festival News"
[07:20] ---
    it looks like Miss Kongo and
    Miss Misaka competed together.
[07:23] ---
    I wonder if those two are good friends.
[07:27] ---
    Railgun...
[07:31] ---
    Whenever I think about that girl,
[07:33] ---
    I get an uneasy feeling across my chest!
[07:36] ---
    I do not even want to think about that
    conceited girl, who is just a pretty face!
[07:42] ---
    If you're that mindful of her, then
    that must have been one fateful encounter.
[07:48] ---
    The two of you may make
    a surprisingly good pair.
[07:51] ---
    Huh? M-Me, and that girl?!
    There is absolutely no way!
[07:58] ---
    Oh...? Ah, just a moment, please!
[08:02] ---
    I will be fine on my own now!
[08:04] ---
    Let us split up now
    and start patrolling separately!
[08:10] ---
    That sure was a long line to get a taxi.
[08:13] ---
    The place is packed with
    spectators wherever you go.
[08:16] ---
    Let's just wait for the next bus.
[08:18] ---
    I can't leave all of this in Miss Kongo's lap.
    I have to get out of here...
[08:23] ---
    Huh? I wonder what that's about.
[08:25] ---
    I hear there has been an
    upswing in cases of heatstroke.
[08:29] ---
    We should be careful, as well.
[08:31] ---
    Hydration and electrolytes are key.
[08:34] ---
    Is that...?
[08:36] ---
    Miss Saten!
[08:37] ---
    --Miss Misaka, wait up!
    --Ah, um, Miss Misaka...?
[08:41] ---
    What happened?
[08:42] ---
    Why are you in an ambulance--
[08:49] ---
    Stop right there!
[08:56] ---
    Huh... Even away from the pond,
    she can control a decent amount of water.
[09:03] ---
    The Great Dane Type that took
    in the water chestnut-hair controlled
[09:06] ---
    was destroyed from the inside.
[09:08] ---
    I guess that once the water
    is under her command,
[09:11] ---
    she can control it without even seeing it.
[09:13] ---
    I pretty much have her analyzed.
[09:16] ---
    For one thing, there's an upper limit
    to the weight and effective range
[09:19] ---
    that those with powers like hers can control,
    depending on their power level.
[09:23] ---
    If I get her far enough away from the pond,
[09:25] ---
    she can no longer replenish her water supply.
[09:28] ---
    Then, once I pretend to leave myself
    open within her effective range...
[09:38] ---
    What a shame.
[09:40] ---
    Sure enough, she loses control
    over water that becomes detached.
[09:44] ---
    One other limitation
    that espers with Hydro Hand have
[09:47] ---
    is the count of the water
    that they can control at once!
[09:59] ---
    Physical attacks against water
    may look futile at first glance,
[10:02] ---
    but every time she deflects,
    her watery armor gets ablated away.
[10:07] ---
    I think I'll watch and enjoy as this young girl,
[10:09] ---
    who only knows how to fight head-on,
    is overcome with despair!
[10:15] ---
    "Critical Care Center"
[10:19] ---
    When I got to the park,
    Kongo was lying on the ground,
[10:22] ---
    and Wannai and Awatsuki confronted
    an icky guy who was controlling robot dogs.
[10:29] ---
    This is my fault.
[10:31] ---
    I was naive.
[10:33] ---
    I thought it was an extension
    of the usual rivalry between cliques.
[10:37] ---
    I thought she was just messing
    with me because she doesn't like me.
[10:41] ---
    I thought that not even she would do anything
[10:44] ---
    to hurt someone who went to the same school.
[10:50] ---
    We're ready. Those of you who
    are her friends, please wait over here.
[10:54] ---
    Oh, sure.
[10:56] ---
    Huh...?
[11:00] ---
    Um, Miss Misaka?
[11:03] ---
    Something appears to have happened here--
[11:05] ---
    Move.
[11:06] ---
    We need to wait for other
    members of the clique to arrive--
[11:09] ---
    Move.
[11:12] ---
    Unless you're prepared
    to kill me to stop me, then move.
[11:27] ---
    "#6 The Battle Begins"
[11:28] ---
    Miss Misaka...
[11:43] ---
    By my reckoning,
[11:45] ---
    you should have run out of water
    with two of them still remaining.
[11:49] ---
    I'm impressed that you beat them all,
    even if you did use up your water.
[11:52] ---
    But you have no more water to protect
    yourself with. Now what will you do?
[11:56] ---
    As part of my studies as a Tokiwadai student,
[11:59] ---
    I have learned a few self-defense techniques.
[12:02] ---
    If you are unarmed, then I will take
    you on without my abilities, too!
[12:06] ---
    Heh, how courageous of you.
[12:09] ---
    But I dislike the barbarity of duking it out.
[12:16] ---
    Instead, I'll put these reserve forces
    I'd been saving to work.
[12:22] ---
    It's basic strategy to always have
    a move ready to make in any situation.
[12:29] ---
    It's not getting clean away,
[12:31] ---
    but it's also maintaining a
    certain distance from me as it runs.
[12:34] ---
    It's trying to buy time by
    keeping me separated from Miss Wannai.
[12:38] ---
    I have to hurry.
[12:42] ---
    This should work.
[13:04] ---
    That was a successful shortcut.
[13:07] ---
    This is all...
[13:08] ---
    the aftermath of where
    Miss Kongo used her ability.
[13:11] ---
    I did a complete lap without even realizing it.
[13:19] ---
    You know what?
[13:21] ---
    I'm actually surprisingly strong.
[13:25] ---
    Or am I?
[13:28] ---
    If you had any water left,
[13:30] ---
    I'm guessing this line
    would be the limit of your range.
[13:36] ---
    When you're someone as
    exceptionally perceptive as I am,
[13:39] ---
    it isn't too hard to figure out
    that your effective range is 18 meters.
[13:44] ---
    And that's not all.
[13:46] ---
    I can tell that the maximum volume
    you can control is 300 liters,
[13:49] ---
    and that the number of streams of
    water you can control at once is three.
[13:55] ---
    So what will you do now?
    Fight me hand to hand and go out a hero?
[13:58] ---
    Bow down and beg for your life?
[14:00] ---
    Or here, under these clear skies,
    pray to God for a sudden cloudburst?
[14:07] ---
    It's hopeless. The only option
    you have is to curse yourself
[14:10] ---
    for thoughtlessly sticking your neck
    out where it doesn't belong.
[14:14] ---
    You're going to meet
    the same fate as your friend.
[14:18] ---
    Rain...
[14:19] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    Have you noticed?
[14:22] ---
    This park has a network
    of drains buried underneath it,
[14:26] ---
    so that when it rains heavily,
    the water will flow into the pond.
[14:30] ---
    Huh?
[14:30] ---
    Your finesse in analyzing
    my ability was quite skillful,
[14:35] ---
    but you should have paid more
    attention to things you can't see, too!
[14:45] ---
    W-Water?! Where is it coming from?!
[14:48] ---
    Is that a water drain?!
[14:51] ---
    Don't tell me she had that water
    hidden down there all the way from the pond!
[14:55] ---
    My limit for controlling
    water streams is fourat once.
[14:59] ---
    Always having a move ready
    to make in any situation--
[15:03] ---
    even I'm crafty enough to know that.
[15:06] ---
    My fingers! They're doing nothing! I'm drowning!
[15:09] ---
    If this keeps up, I'm gonna drown!
[15:11] ---
    Great Dane Types, suck up this water!
    Suck up all this water!
[15:28] ---
    O-Oh, crap!
[15:30] ---
    Is that all of your robots, then?
[15:34] ---
    This is bad! This is bad!
    This is bad! This is bad!
[15:36] ---
    I have zero Great Dane Types left!
[15:38] ---
    There's no other choice!
[15:40] ---
    It means using the last one of
    these that I got from the Doctor, but...
[15:44] ---
    Do you give up yet?
[15:47] ---
    I said I didn't like duking it out,
[15:50] ---
    but that doesn't mean
    I'm not good at it, either.
[15:53] ---
    I've been trained in specialized
    assassin skills since I was a child.
[15:56] ---
    Family situation, you see.
[15:58] ---
    These are taboo moves whose use is forbidden,
[16:01] ---
    but I see no other choice but to use them
    against someone as strong as you.
[16:05] ---
    I'll bluff my way through keeping her attention,
[16:07] ---
    and use the Mosquito Type
    to inject her with a nanodevice!
[16:11] ---
    Almost there...! Almost there...!
[16:14] ---
    It dropped?!
[16:15] ---
    A dead battery? Impossible! I just activated it!
[16:19] ---
    No, but wait, the way it's moving...
[16:21] ---
    It looks like you're safe.
[16:23] ---
    Miss Awatsuki!
[16:25] ---
    The case I went after was empty,
[16:28] ---
    and I figured that if you got the upper hand,
[16:30] ---
    he would use his nanodevice on you,
[16:33] ---
    so I reduced the buoyancy force
    around you down to zero.
[16:36] ---
    It looks like that was the right decision.
[16:37] ---
    Buoyancy? The braided-hair
    girl's ability isn't telekinesis?
[16:41] ---
    It's buoyancy manipulation?!
[16:44] ---
    H-Hold on a minute!
[16:46] ---
    Are you two espers planning
    to both hit an unarmed man?!
[16:49] ---
    I-I was just hired to do a job!
[16:51] ---
    The Mosquito Type with the
    nanodevice is lying right over there!
[16:56] ---
    Sure, I may have been
    a little too rough on your friend,
[16:58] ---
    but can we just agree
    to call it quits for today--
[17:03] ---
    If I may be presumptuous enough to say so,
[17:06] ---
    the reason you disdain the trust and
    connections people have for each other
[17:10] ---
    is because you don't have
    anyone worthy of your trust.
[17:13] ---
    But that is a result of
    you looking down on others
[17:16] ---
    and not letting anyone else in.
[17:19] ---
    Unless you acknowledge the people you know
[17:21] ---
    and show that you are willing
    to meet them halfway,
[17:24] ---
    no one is ever going to help you.
[17:34] ---
    There I go, a novice, sounding
    like she knows what she is saying.
[17:37] ---
    No, I think it was something that
    had to be said, for his sake, as well.
[17:44] ---
    I hope he takes advantage of
    the opportunity to rethink his ways.
[17:53] ---
    Damn them!
[17:55] ---
    Damn those girls!
    They looked down their noses at me!
[18:03] ---
    It's intel, all right.
[18:05] ---
    If I'd only known what
    their abilities were from the start,
[18:08] ---
    there was no way I could
    have been beaten by them!
[18:12] ---
    Mantis Type!
[18:14] ---
    I was reluctant to use you, since you stand out,
[18:16] ---
    but your power is in a whole other league
[18:19] ---
    from those Great Dane Types meant for searching!
[18:21] ---
    Now that I know the specs of
    their abilities, I can't possibly lose!
[18:26] ---
    Go, Mantis Type!
[18:33] ---
    For the humiliation they put me through,
    merely killing them isn't good enough!
[18:37] ---
    I'll tear them up, then capture them!
[18:39] ---
    I'll make them sorry they were ever born female!
[18:42] ---
    I'll stream their indignity
    to the world over the Internet,
[18:45] ---
    and not only shatter them
    both mentally and physically;
[18:48] ---
    I'll destroy them socially, as well!
[18:50] ---
    They'll beg me in tears, "Please kill me"--
[18:55] ---
    The GPS signal from the Mosquito Type
    I affixed to Kongo Mitsuko?
[18:59] ---
    What's it doing here? If it keeps
    going that direction, then pretty soon...
[19:08] ---
    Wh-Why?!
[19:12] ---
    Why is Misaka Mikoto here?!
[19:18] ---
    Impossible!
[19:19] ---
    She shouldn't be able to move,
    thanks to the nanodevice injected into her!
[19:23] ---
    So that's it! She just looks like Misaka Mikoto!
[19:26] ---
    That's one of the Sisters!
[19:29] ---
    I'm in luck! As long as I capture her,
    I'll redeem myself!
[19:33] ---
    I can deal with those
    other girls afterward! Mantis Type,
[19:37] ---
    seize that girl!
[19:55] ---
    It's...
[19:57] ---
    It's really her...?
[20:00] ---
    S-Stay back!
[20:24] ---
    You can hear me, right?
[20:26] ---
    I avoided the communications system
    when I smashed this thing.
[20:29] ---
    I pinpointed your location
    by following your comm signal.
[20:36] ---
    I-It won't open! Don't tell me she's
    already taken over all the systems!
[20:42] ---
    I'll be there shortly to do
    the same thing to you as I did to this.
[20:48] ---
    At least I'd like to,
[20:50] ---
    but taking into account that you
    might be under that girl's control,
[20:53] ---
    I'm going to let you off
    this one time. However...
[20:57] ---
    ...from here on, if I ever see one of these,
[21:01] ---
    or one goes near one of my friends,
[21:04] ---
    even for an instant,
[21:07] ---
    then no matter where you are,
    I swear I will find you...
[21:13] ---
    ...and crush you.
[21:20] ---
    Uh-oh...
[21:21] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:22] ---
    Oh, man. Baba is out of the picture.
[21:26] ---
    Out of the picture?
[21:27] ---
    All of his mechanical pawns are wiped out.
[21:29] ---
    He says he's looking
    for a shelter to hide out in.
[21:32] ---
    This is cryptic. He says he failed
    to neutralize Misaka Mikoto.
[21:37] ---
    I guess this means I'll have to get involved.
[21:40] ---
    She's formidable.
[21:41] ---
    What's this, now? You know her?
[21:44] ---
    Once before,
[21:45] ---
    I got to see her fighting close-up.
[21:47] ---
    Well, now, it's not like
    I have to pound her to death.
[21:51] ---
    We can manage as long as this
    gets settled by the end of the day.

[00:10] ---
    You can hear me, right?
[00:12] ---
    I avoided the communications system
    when I smashed this thing.
[00:15] ---
    From here on, if I ever see one of these
[00:18] ---
    or one goes near one of my friends,
[00:21] ---
    even for an instant,

[00:46] ---
    He ran away.
[00:48] ---
    Well, any memories linked to Shokuho
    are either erased or overwritten,
[00:53] ---
    so it wouldn't matter.
[00:58] ---
    There isn't much information
    to speak of in the truck, either.
[01:01] ---
    They are careful, anyway.
[01:04] ---
    I could tell as soon
    as they sent that robot out,
[01:07] ---
    but this isn't the work of amateurs.
[01:11] ---
    A vehicle this big would have
    no choice but to take the main roads.
[01:15] ---
    There are only so many
    routes it could have taken.
[01:17] ---
    If I trace back where it came
    from using the security cameras,
[01:21] ---
    I should be able to find
    where they're holding her.
[01:40] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:57] ---
    Have you still not picked
    up Miss Misaka's trail?
[02:59] ---
    No.
[03:00] ---
    I guess that's that. Well, let's go
    in teams of three again and search--
[03:05] ---
    Sorry, but we have a
    competition that's about to start.
[03:08] ---
    And we can't really have
    this many of us skip out.
[03:11] ---
    Aw, man!
[03:13] ---
    Well, those of us who are
    left will start looking!
[03:16] ---
    If only our Queen were here right now.
    Has anyone been in contact with her?
[03:21] ---
    Not since last night.
[03:22] ---
    --Um, who's the "Queen"?
    --Where could she be?
[03:24] ---
    They mean Miss Shokuho
    Misaki, from our school.
[03:28] ---
    The girls in her clique
    refer to her as their Queen.
[03:32] ---
    Oh, yeah? Queen, huh?
[03:35] ---
    Wasn't Shokuho Misaki someone
    who could manipulate memories?
[03:39] ---
    Those blue-blood girls really are unusual.
[03:44] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:48] ---
    Miss Wannai, what is Miss Kongo's condition?
[03:50] ---
    According to what the doctor said,
[03:52] ---
    luckily, none of her trauma
    should leave any permanent scars.
[03:56] ---
    As for the nanodevice, they are sending it
    to an agency that specializes in them.
[04:00] ---
    So it's safe for us to breathe easy, then?
[04:03] ---
    I believe so. There is one
    other thing we can do...
[04:11] ---
    I hate to keep troubling you about this.
[04:13] ---
    Not at all.
[04:14] ---
    So then, um,
[04:16] ---
    are you able to speak to cats?
[04:19] ---
    No. My ability is psychometry.
[04:22] ---
    That's a completely
    different class than telepathy,
[04:25] ---
    so it's not as though
    I can communicate with them.
[04:28] ---
    All I can do is read the
    fragments of an animal's qualia--
[04:31] ---
    meaning their sensory experiences,
    but it does have the benefit
[04:34] ---
    of being able to pick up on information
    that the cat itself may not be able to understand.
[04:39] ---
    Oh...
[04:43] ---
    You said yesterday around noon, right?
[04:45] ---
    Yes, that is what we heard.
[04:47] ---
    All right...
[04:54] ---
    It was... at a construction
    site or a stockyard.
[04:55] ---
    "Development Permit Notice"
[04:58] ---
    There was a tall man there.
    Oh, and someone else--a girl, it looks like.
[05:05] ---
    They started talking.
[05:07] ---
    "One way or another, we have the initiative."
[05:11] ---
    "We don't have time to bother with that now."
[05:14] ---
    "What's happening with
    Auribus oculi fideliores sunt?"
[05:18] ---
    That's Latin. "The eyes are
    more trustworthy than the ears."
[05:23] ---
    Could that be some kind of cipher?
[05:25] ---
    Um...
[05:26] ---
    Hmm, I think anything beyond
    that might be difficult.
[05:30] ---
    The kitty seems to have
    been pretty shaken up.
[05:33] ---
    Oh, no, thank you very much.
    While it might not mean anything to us,
[05:38] ---
    it could prove to be useful
    information to Miss Misaka.
[05:41] ---
    Miss Saten, do you have your cell phone?
[05:44] ---
    Oh, yes, right here.
[05:47] ---
    The situation being what it is,
[05:49] ---
    I think it's best if we
    contact Miss Misaka right away.
[05:53] ---
    Could we ask you to call her for us?
[05:56] ---
    You bet.
[05:58] ---
    All right, thanks for your assistance.
[06:01] ---
    We will be in Miss Kongo's
    hospital room if anything comes up.
[06:05] ---
    Roger that! Now then...
[06:10] ---
    Wait, I don't know Misaka's phone...
[06:13] ---
    ...num... ber...?
[06:13] ---
    "Misaka Mikoto"
[06:16] ---
    I have her saved?
[06:23] ---
    It's taking too much time checking
    the cameras at all key intersections.
[06:27] ---
    They could make a run for it
    before I even find them.
[06:33] ---
    "Tokiwadai Middle School
    takes 1st in Balloon Sandwich"
[06:34] ---
    It looks like Mikoto is
    doing pretty well. Nice, nice.
[06:38] ---
    There, there, everything will be okay.
[06:40] ---
    --You don't need to worry.
    I'll stay with you.
[06:42] ---
    --I know that head.
    --You don't need to worry. I'll stay with you.
[06:43] ---
    Uiharu!
[06:46] ---
    Ms. Misuzu!
[06:48] ---
    Who is that?
[06:50] ---
    A lost boy.
[06:51] ---
    Huh? In this crowd? That's a big deal.
    Do you want some help?
[06:55] ---
    Oh, no, I've already asked
    his father to come to us.
[06:59] ---
    You have?
[07:00] ---
    Yes. Everyone's entrance pass is
    equipped with GPS, including your own,
[07:05] ---
    so our headquarters can
    look up the location of any visitor.
[07:10] ---
    It's Papa! Papa!
[07:14] ---
    Please be careful, okay?
[07:15] ---
    "Entrance pass"
    "Misaka Misuzu"
[07:16] ---
    You don't say.
[07:18] ---
    I was wondering how you were able
    to manage this many spectators.
[07:22] ---
    You have everything under control, don't you?
[07:24] ---
    Yes, but, if you hack into that system,
[07:28] ---
    it makes it easy to locate
    specific visitors...
[07:32] ---
    Misaka Mikoto's mother.
[07:35] ---
    I thought one hostage would be enough,
[07:39] ---
    but this is the third-ranked
    Level 5 I'm dealing with.
[07:42] ---
    I think having one
    other would be more reassuring.
[07:46] ---
    So what is this urgent matter
    you wanted to talk to me about?
[07:49] ---
    Well, um...
[07:51] ---
    I have many things to do.
    Please make this quick.
[07:56] ---
    Mm-hmm...
[08:00] ---
    The thing is...
[08:02] ---
    So what is her condition?
[08:04] ---
    Her life isn't in any danger,
[08:06] ---
    and Wannai and Awatsuki are watching her,
    so I think she'll be okay.
[08:09] ---
    I see. All of that happened
    to Kongo Mitsuko...
[08:14] ---
    Mm-hmm. Misaka seemed awfully angry about it.
[08:17] ---
    I think maybe she feels responsible.
[08:20] ---
    Once again with Misaka Mikoto.
[08:22] ---
    I think I have a handle on the situation.
[08:24] ---
    But the part about Misaka Mikoto
    possibly being one of our friends
[08:29] ---
    is a bit of a leap, is it not?
[08:32] ---
    "Misaka Mikoto"
[08:32] ---
    Yeah, I'm just saying, "possibly."
[08:35] ---
    There's an esper at Tokiwadai
    who can manipulate memories, right?
[08:39] ---
    You think that Shokuho Misaki
    tampered with our memories?
[08:42] ---
    For what reason?
[08:44] ---
    Moreover, if you believe that,
    why did you not contact Uiharu?
[08:50] ---
    Because if my guess is correct,
[08:53] ---
    telling Uiharu about it might not be...
[08:56] ---
    I-In any case,
[08:57] ---
    I have a message for Misaka,
    so why don't we ask her directly?
[09:01] ---
    Well, I suppose you leave me no choice.
    As a member of Judgment,
[09:05] ---
    this does not appear to be
    a situation I can ignore.
[09:09] ---
    Who would be calling me now?
[09:11] ---
    Miss Saten?
[09:13] ---
    H-Hello?
[09:14] ---
    Oh, um,
[09:15] ---
    is this Miss Misaka? My name is Saten Ruiko.
[09:19] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm. Thanks for
    everything at the hospital.
[09:22] ---
    I appreciate you telling me what happened.
[09:24] ---
    --Oh, well, um, I heard from Wannai...
    --Why is she so nervous?
[09:28] ---
    ...that you're looking
    for your sister, right?
[09:30] ---
    Anyhow, we had someone who can
    do psychometry check out her cat.
[09:35] ---
    I see.
[09:37] ---
    Still, I'm sorry. I appreciate
    you investigating,
[09:40] ---
    but I have no idea what
    this girl who could be Shokuho
[09:43] ---
    and the man who was with
    her were talking about.
[09:45] ---
    Yeah, well, about that, they did mention
    a name I'm quite familiar with.
[09:51] ---
    Huh? Really?
[09:52] ---
    I'd like to find out more about
    our relationship with you, too.
[09:56] ---
    Is there someplace where we could meet up?
[09:58] ---
    Mm-hmm, all right.
[10:00] ---
    Where are you right now?
[10:02] ---
    The plaza in front of the terminal station
    building in School District 15,
[10:05] ---
    on the upper level.
[10:07] ---
    Oh, we're pretty close to there.
[10:09] ---
    Okay, you wait there, and I'll have
    Shirai pick you up and bring you here.
[10:13] ---
    Hey, I am not a taxi!
[10:17] ---
    Kuroko is there with you?!
[10:19] ---
    I-I told you, please do not
    use my name so casually!
[10:22] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[10:24] ---
    There is a little something
    I was hoping you might tell me.
[10:30] ---
    I'm a little busy right now.
[10:32] ---
    I don't have time to be
    chatting with strangers.
[10:36] ---
    However, if you have something to do
    with the people who hurt my friend,
[10:41] ---
    then that's another matter.
[10:42] ---
    Whoa, just like that,
    you're in combat mode. But then,
[10:47] ---
    what do you say to this?
[10:50] ---
    "#7 Auribus oculi fideliores sunt.
    (The eyes are more trustworthy than the ears)"
[10:50] ---
    Miss Uiharu?!
[10:54] ---
    Now, now, let's start with having you
    hang up the phone you're holding
[10:58] ---
    and getting rid of it.
[11:05] ---
    Good, good.
[11:06] ---
    I don't need to introduce myself, do I?
[11:09] ---
    I mean, you attacked so many of
    our villas and made off with our data.
[11:14] ---
    Villas? Attacked?
[11:16] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:17] ---
    Non, non, you can't play dumb.
    You've been sniffing around,
[11:22] ---
    so you know what I'm about to ask, don't you?
[11:26] ---
    The clones of you that
    are known as "Sisters"--
[11:29] ---
    where exactly are they hiding?
    I've done a thorough investigation
[11:33] ---
    into how you interfered
    with Project Level 6 Shift.
[11:37] ---
    It's not like you wouldn't know
    what happened to your "Sisters"
[11:40] ---
    once the project went belly up.
[11:42] ---
    Where are the clones who are
    still in Academy City being kept?
[11:47] ---
    What's going on here?
[11:48] ---
    Is she not working together with Shokuho?
[11:51] ---
    We're scouring dark side
    intelligence networks in high gear,
[11:54] ---
    but whenever we search for "Sisters,"
    our leads always come up empty.
[11:59] ---
    Which organization has
    the souped-up security to keep them?
[12:03] ---
    I don't know who you people are,
[12:06] ---
    but what is it you want to do
    so badly that you'd assault my friends?
[12:09] ---
    Oh, dear, after everything else,
    you can ask something like that?
[12:12] ---
    If you ask me, you're the one who's messed up
[12:16] ---
    if you can just blithely
    live here in the city like this.
[12:20] ---
    I mean, you know, after
    everything you've seen.
[12:23] ---
    The inhuman atrocities that
    were carried out to achieve Level 6;
[12:27] ---
    the human experimentation
    that went on using Child Errors;
[12:31] ---
    using negotiators to swindle
    people out of their DNA maps--
[12:34] ---
    It's not like activities such as these
    were carried on by only one organization.
[12:41] ---
    If you trace them backward,
    they all lead back to Academy City's higher-ups.
[12:46] ---
    You are aware that this whole city
    is one big proving ground.
[12:51] ---
    No, you aren't like the other
    students who know nothing about this.
[12:55] ---
    And yet you turn a blind eye to the truth
    and live your non-committal life here.
[13:00] ---
    I'm impressed that you
    could be so nonchalant.
[13:05] ---
    You know, I...
[13:10] ---
    Never mind.
[13:12] ---
    That has nothing to do with this.
[13:15] ---
    It's unrelated to the fact that
    you brought harm upon my friends.
[13:20] ---
    I have nothing to tell you.
[13:23] ---
    Now let Miss Uiharu go.
[13:26] ---
    My shocks will go through
    you much faster than that knife.
[13:30] ---
    "Miss Uiharu," huh?
[13:32] ---
    So you do know her!
    She was pretty chummy with your mother,
[13:38] ---
    so I suspected as much.
[13:40] ---
    My mother...?
[13:46] ---
    Is that...? Mama!
[13:48] ---
    A second hostage!
[13:49] ---
    Not even you can take out
    two people at once, can you?
[13:53] ---
    The lives of these two far outweigh
    the location of the clones, right?
[13:58] ---
    So I'll ask you again, where are the Sisters?
[14:03] ---
    And I'll say this one more time, too.
    I have nothing to tell you.
[14:08] ---
    Oh, my, you don't think I'm bluffing, do you?
[14:11] ---
    Or are you willing to abandon both of them?
[14:15] ---
    I...
[14:17] ---
    ...am going to save Miss Uiharu.
[14:20] ---
    Even if it costs me my life.
[14:22] ---
    I swear it.
[14:24] ---
    Does that mean you don't
    need your mother? How mean--
[14:31] ---
    Oh, seriously?
[14:33] ---
    Oh, dear, negotiations have broken down.
    Sorry about this, Mom.
[14:38] ---
    I hate to have to end this
    with her taking me so lightly,
[14:41] ---
    so if you must blame someone,
    blame Mikoto for letting you die--
[14:46] ---
    She had a friend lurking nearby?!
[14:51] ---
    Her breathing, pulse,
    and body temperature are normal.
[14:53] ---
    From what I can see, she is not injured.
[14:56] ---
    She ran away.
[14:58] ---
    I would like to go after her,
    but the safety of the hostage comes first.
[15:02] ---
    Besides, I can ask her what happened.
[15:07] ---
    Miss Uiharu is all right.
    She doesn't appear to be hurt.
[15:12] ---
    Please back away!
[15:13] ---
    Huh? Hold on...
[15:17] ---
    Judgment!
[15:19] ---
    You are under arrest
    for kidnapping and assault--
[15:22] ---
    Kuroko! Get away from her!
[15:31] ---
    That girl... isn't human?!
[15:39] ---
    My bolts have no effect.
[15:40] ---
    Kuroko, teleport these two someplace safe.
[15:50] ---
    My shocks didn't work, either.
[15:52] ---
    Can I blow her away with my railgun?
[16:07] ---
    Huh?
[16:09] ---
    She melted?
[16:14] ---
    Is that...
[16:16] ---
    some kind of liquid metal?
[16:18] ---
    It looked like she was controlling
    it remotely like a puppet.
[16:23] ---
    So why did she suddenly stop?
[16:26] ---
    I don't know.
[16:27] ---
    If this is that girl's ability,
    then maybe she fled out of range.
[16:37] ---
    Well, having Mikoto die
    wouldn't work for us anyhow.
[16:42] ---
    I have to admit,
[16:44] ---
    negotiating with her head-on is difficult.
[16:47] ---
    Can't help it, though. She can do lots
    of stuff on the other end of the camera.
[16:52] ---
    Still, I should be glad
    I got anything at all out of this.
[16:56] ---
    Villas? Attacked?
[16:59] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:01] ---
    I brushed it off back there,
    but she would gain nothing by denying it.
[17:06] ---
    Eyewitness reports had me
    convinced that it was Mikoto,
[17:09] ---
    but maybe it's possible that
    the testimony was false. Meaning...
[17:14] ---
    it's also possible that the
    witnesses' memories were altered.
[17:19] ---
    Maybe I'd better reconsider this. Besides...
[17:24] ---
    You know, I...
[17:26] ---
    ...there may still be some hope for her.
[17:30] ---
    So, would you mind explaining
    to me what happened here?
[17:35] ---
    Sorry, but I don't know
    who that was, either--
[17:39] ---
    I am bothered by that, as well,
[17:41] ---
    but first, tell me about what just happened.
[17:43] ---
    You were acting as though
    you were sure I would be there.
[17:47] ---
    When you said that you were going
    to save Uiharu and not your mother.
[17:53] ---
    That was a declaration to me, was it not?
[17:57] ---
    Well, um, after I hung up on our call,
[18:01] ---
    I could sense the EM signal of
    an incoming call to Miss Uiharu's cell,
[18:05] ---
    and figured that Miss Saten was calling
    her to check on what was happening.
[18:09] ---
    I had already told you where I was,
[18:12] ---
    and knowing you, you could
    be here in less than ten seconds,
[18:15] ---
    so I assumed you were
    hiding somewhere nearby...
[18:20] ---
    Thank you...
[18:21] ---
    ...for letting me take care
    of rescuing your friend.
[18:26] ---
    Uiharu is with Judgment.
    It is only natural to give priority
[18:29] ---
    to a civilian over a colleague.
[18:32] ---
    How could you leave your
    own mother's life up to a stranger?
[18:39] ---
    If I had put Mama ahead of a friend,
    that would have made her angry at me.
[18:44] ---
    Besides...
[18:46] ---
    ...I had faith in you, Kuroko,
    and was sure that you would save her.
[18:54] ---
    W-Well, that is my job,
    after all, so naturally--
[18:59] ---
    Are you okay?!
[19:02] ---
    I'm sorry. I must have overexerted
    you when you're still injured.
[19:06] ---
    Huh? I-I am all right!
    I do not require your unwelcome concern!
[19:12] ---
    What are you talking about?
[19:14] ---
    Come on, hold on to me tight.
[19:18] ---
    L-Let go of me, please!
[19:21] ---
    My tastes do not run that way!
[19:28] ---
    It sounds like neither of them were hurt.
[19:30] ---
    They said they should
    both wake up in no time.
[19:33] ---
    Thank goodness.
[19:34] ---
    So? You said you needed to speak with us?
[19:37] ---
    Oh, mm-hmm.
[19:41] ---
    Um, the person who kidnapped your
    sister--the girl in that kitten's memory...
[19:48] ---
    You're sure it's Shokuho Misaki, then?
[19:51] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[19:52] ---
    I don't think there can be any question.
[19:55] ---
    So anyway,
[19:56] ---
    that Auribus-whatever-it-was Latin
    that we heard from the psychometry
[20:01] ---
    is the same name as the
    urban legend site that I browsed.
[20:05] ---
    Urban legend site?
[20:07] ---
    Why would Shokuho Misaki be
    concerned with something like that?
[20:11] ---
    The site doesn't just
    collect different rumors;
[20:15] ---
    its lure is that it actually goes
    around validating their details.
[20:18] ---
    And yesterday, when I was off
    trying to find Shadow Metal,
[20:22] ---
    Uiharu was searching that site for me,
[20:25] ---
    but said she couldn't find it.
[20:29] ---
    So a little earlier, I tried
    searching for it again,
[20:33] ---
    and sure enough, the results
    are plastered with similar pages,
[20:36] ---
    but I can't find the
    original site in there anywhere.
[20:40] ---
    It's impossible to completely erase
    any data once it's uploaded on the net.
[20:44] ---
    So I was thinking that
    somebody must have distributed
[20:47] ---
    a bunch of dummy data
    with much higher search rankings
[20:51] ---
    to keep people from actually
    reaching the site.
[20:54] ---
    Or put another way,
[20:56] ---
    there was something on that site
    that this somebody considers problematic.
[21:00] ---
    Right.
[21:01] ---
    Knowing Uiharu, she would
    sense something out of place
[21:04] ---
    and try to hunt down the cause of it.
[21:07] ---
    She also has the skill to find it.
[21:10] ---
    But this somebody detected
    Miss Uiharu's actions on this end
[21:14] ---
    and attacked her.
[21:16] ---
    Assuming it was Shokuho,
    she would have had Uiharu erase the data,
[21:20] ---
    and then, after searching her memories,
[21:22] ---
    she would also learn that she is my friend.
[21:26] ---
    It all fits together.
[21:28] ---
    This sounds like a crazy conclusion
    to draw from connecting the dots,
[21:32] ---
    but if it is true, then that computer...
[21:37] ---
    ...is worth checking out, isn't it?
[21:45] ---
    The erased data has been reconstructed!
[21:48] ---
    There it is!
[21:49] ---

    is the deal with her smile?!
[23:34] ---

    The erased data has been reconstructed!
[00:09] ---
    There it is!
[00:12] ---
    Shokuho...!
[00:14] ---
    A DNA computer that generates abilities?
[00:18] ---
    Does that mean this Shokuho person
    is involved in that research?
[00:21] ---
    I couldn't tell you that much, but it is likely
[00:25] ---
    that Shokuho didn't want it known
    that she was at this place.
[00:29] ---
    Which also means that it's
    highly likely that it's her hideout.
[00:32] ---
    And I'm sure she's there, too.
[00:35] ---
    Kuroko...
[00:37] ---
    ...can you tell from the building
    on the screen where this is?
[00:41] ---
    Huh? I mean, why do you keep using
    my name so casually? This building here?
[00:47] ---
    It looks a lot like the
    Judgment branch in School District 2.
[00:51] ---
    School District 2, you say? I'll go have a look.
[00:54] ---
    I hate to ask, but when my mama wakes up...
[00:56] ---
    Yes, I will explain to her that
    she collapsed from heat exhaustion
[01:00] ---
    and keep her here under the excuse
    that we need to reissue her entrance pass.
[01:05] ---
    I know how to handle this.
[01:06] ---
    Thanks. Miss Saten,
    thanks for the information, too.
[01:10] ---
    Oh, sure...
[01:12] ---
    U-Um, Miss Misaka?
[01:15] ---
    Have our memories really been manipulated?
[01:18] ---
    And that's why we don't know you?
[01:22] ---
    Don't worry. Once this is all over,
    I'll grab Shokuho by the scruff of her neck
[01:27] ---
    and bring her back here.
    So just sit tight for a bit.
[01:55] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:21] ---
    This is really turning into a hassle.
[03:22] ---
    "September 19th"
[03:27] ---
    What is this all about, now?
[03:30] ---
    It looks like she fell victim
    to a military nanodevice.
[03:34] ---
    I'm not sure that vaccine software
    alone will be able to treat her,
[03:38] ---
    since her electrical abilities
    might interfere with it.
[03:42] ---
    However, I think we should still take her in.
[03:46] ---
    One might say this situation
    provides us with an opportunity.
[03:49] ---
    One way or another, we have the initiative.
[03:53] ---
    If her life is at risk,
    I'll raise the white flag to Miss Misaka.
[03:57] ---
    Are you sure?
[03:58] ---
    It would be an annoyance, but by then,
    there's nothing more we can do.
[04:02] ---
    For now, could you call her an ambulance?
[04:05] ---
    I'll mind control them and
    have them take us part of the way.
[04:09] ---
    Sure.
[04:13] ---
    Does the cat belong to her?
[04:18] ---
    Uh-oh.
[04:19] ---
    It didn't have a collar. Could just be a stray.
[04:22] ---
    We don't have time to bother
    with that now. Leave it be.
[04:26] ---
    I guess you're right.
[04:28] ---
    Hello?
[04:32] ---
    Well?
[04:33] ---
    What's happening with
    Auribus oculi fideliores sunt?
[04:37] ---
    Oh, that urban legends site?
[04:40] ---
    For crying out loud,
[04:42] ---
    I had our security turned all the way up
[04:44] ---
    so I couldn't be followed or detected, too.
[04:47] ---
    Then to be captured from a distance
    by a psychic photography esper
[04:51] ---
    who can use a drop of water as a lens...
[04:52] ---
    How does the administrator
    of an urban legend leisure site
[04:55] ---
    have that kind of power?
    Espers really are the worst, huh?
[05:00] ---
    Look who's talking.
[05:02] ---
    Did you say something?
[05:03] ---
    Look, don't worry about that.
[05:05] ---
    I have a program running that is
    automatically generating dummy sites.
[05:10] ---
    That site will never see the light of day again.
[05:13] ---
    "September 20th"
[05:16] ---
    Well, well, what have we here?
[05:18] ---
    It looks like we have someone
    analyzing the dummy data generator,
[05:22] ---
    trying to trace down the original site.
[05:24] ---
    Listen, you! Didn't you say
    there was nothing to worry about?!
[05:30] ---
    H-Hold on a second, please.
[05:32] ---
    I set up the means to do a trace
    if we had an intruder, just in case.
[05:36] ---
    There they are.
[05:38] ---
    Judgment Branch 177?
[05:41] ---
    Learning that the Judgment girl
    I found when I got there
[05:44] ---
    was a friend of yours was probably the point
[05:47] ---
    when my expectations starting going astray.
[05:50] ---
    But then, at the time, there wasn't
    anything else I could have done.
[05:53] ---
    Perhaps this situation was simply unavoidable.
[05:57] ---
    Right, Miss Misaka?
[06:00] ---
    Well, fancy meeting you here.
[06:03] ---
    Pretty audacious of you to
    blatantly show yourself off like that
[06:06] ---
    to every security camera in sight.
[06:09] ---
    Where is she?
[06:11] ---
    As I'm sure you're aware,
    she's in the building on the website.
[06:15] ---
    That's the most reliable hiding place I have.
[06:20] ---
    She's safe, then?
[06:21] ---
    Torturing people isn't my thing,
    no matter how much they look like you.
[06:26] ---
    There, are you happy now?
[06:29] ---
    Not at all. I have a whole
    ton of questions I want to ask you.
[06:34] ---
    Well, we can't have that, can we?
[06:36] ---
    But you see, I'm pressed for time, too,
    so if you want to talk, come with me.
[06:52] ---
    I wonder if there's anything
    I could be doing, too.
[06:56] ---
    She said herself to wait here for her,
[06:59] ---
    so I do not think you need to stress about it.
[07:02] ---
    Honestly, I am only 50% sure
    that my memories were manipulated.
[07:07] ---
    But what if it is true? Having your friends
    forget you would be miserable.
[07:13] ---
    So you'd be cool if
    Uiharu and I forgot about you
[07:17] ---
    and treated you like a perfect stranger?
[07:19] ---
    Well, I...
[07:21] ---
    I would hate it.
[07:29] ---
    What is that you've been looking at?
[07:30] ---
    A Bank list.
[07:32] ---
    The person who took Uiharu hostage earlier--
[07:35] ---
    I only saw her face, and do not
    even know in which school she is enrolled,
[07:39] ---
    but I can surmise what her ability must be.
[07:43] ---
    Her ability allowed her
    to remotely control a liquid metal,
[07:45] ---
    and create a likeness of herself out of it.
[07:48] ---
    Also, if she is either a Level 3 or a Level 4,
[07:51] ---
    that should narrow it down considerably.
[07:54] ---
    Oh, yeah. That could prove helpful to Misaka.
[07:57] ---
    I am only acting as a member of Judgment
[08:00] ---
    pursuing a criminal wanted for attempted murder.
[08:03] ---
    Cavalierly telling a civilian
    about investigative information
[08:05] ---
    is not something that I would do.
[08:07] ---
    Oh?
[08:08] ---
    However!
[08:10] ---
    If I determine the situation to be urgent,
[08:11] ---
    or if sharing the information
    would be beneficial,
[08:15] ---
    that may not necessarily be true.
[08:18] ---
    Huh?! Why are you looking at me like that?!
[08:21] ---
    All right! I'll help you
    dig through that material!
[08:24] ---
    Hey! Would you please not ignore me?!
[08:31] ---
    We seem to be moving away
    from the place in the photo.
[08:34] ---
    I told you, I'm pressed for time.
    If you want to talk, then don't complain.
[08:40] ---
    Besides, I don't want
    anyone going near that place.
[08:45] ---
    You don't have to worry.
    Once this is over, I'll give her back to you.
[08:50] ---
    It looks like she got
    injected with a nanodevice,
[08:52] ---
    so I'm a little concerned
    about her immune system,
[08:56] ---
    but her life is in no danger.
[08:58] ---
    The people who injected this "nanodevice" thing
[09:01] ---
    are the ones who are
    looking for the Sisters, right?
[09:04] ---
    What's the story with them?
[09:06] ---
    I thought they were operating
    under your orders at first,
[09:09] ---
    but they've kept on looking,
    even after her disappearance
[09:12] ---
    and they're poking around,
    asking about things you wouldn't have to.
[09:16] ---
    In fact, I'm guessing you
    two are on opposite sides.
[09:20] ---
    Yep. And right now,
    we're headed to where their boss is.
[09:25] ---
    It started when I heard
    about Project Level 6 Shift,
[09:29] ---
    the experiment that I know
    you're quite familiar with.
[09:34] ---
    Some of the researchers at the facility
    I was with were whispering about it.
[09:39] ---
    Apparently, the project was at a standstill,
[09:40] ---
    --and its data had leaked
    into the underworld community.
    --Did you hear about the Level 6 Shift project?
[09:43] ---
    I want you...
[09:46] ---
    ...to tell me all about it.
[09:48] ---
    Word is that they were trying
    to elevate the first-ranked, Accelerator,
[09:52] ---
    to Level 6 using mass-produced clones
    of the third-ranked, Misaka Mikoto.
[09:57] ---
    But the project seems to
    have stalled midway through.
[10:01] ---
    So what happened to the clones they've made?
[10:03] ---
    I don't know.
[10:04] ---
    I'm guessing they were disposed of?
[10:08] ---
    So, have you found out what's
    become of the post-experiment Sisters?
[10:12] ---
    I'm sorry, not yet.
[10:14] ---
    What gives? You were involved
    in the experiment, right?
[10:18] ---
    That's part of the reason why I hired you.
[10:21] ---
    I was merely in charge of stepping up security.
[10:24] ---
    And after the project was suspended,
[10:26] ---
    the Sisters were taken in
    by some other institution. But,
[10:31] ---
    I will check with my contacts
    and see what I can find.
[10:33] ---
    I would appreciate it if you did so quickly.
[10:36] ---
    There is one thing that's bothering me, though.
[10:40] ---
    There's another organization that
    is also trying to track down the Sisters.
[10:44] ---
    There is? Then do a concurrent
    investigation of them, too.
[10:50] ---
    And what turned up from that...
[10:52] ---
    ...were these other guys.
[10:54] ---
    The one you came in contact
    with was just a hired hand.
[10:57] ---
    It looks as though their directive
    was to get rid of you
[11:00] ---
    and to search for the Sisters.
[11:02] ---
    Get rid of me?
[11:04] ---
    You have your record of throwing
    a monkey wrench into the Sisters project,
[11:09] ---
    so you're on their radar.
[11:11] ---
    And now she's paying the price instead of me...
[11:15] ---
    I'm wondering why they only tried
    to immobilize you with a nanodevice.
[11:19] ---
    You can guess the reason
    why they want the Sisters, can't you?
[11:24] ---
    Their objective is almost certainly...
[11:26] ---
    ...the Misaka Network.
[11:28] ---
    Yep. The network formed
    by the Sisters' brainwave link.
[11:33] ---
    If the extent of that processing
    power were to be misused,
[11:36] ---
    bad things could happen.
[11:39] ---
    That's why I've taken steps
    to prevent individual Sisters
[11:42] ---
    from infecting others with electrical viruses
    by collapsing those pathways.
[11:46] ---
    Using my powers of ingenuity.
[11:49] ---
    Now, even if one of the other Sisters
    were to fall into their hands,
[11:52] ---
    they won't be able to meddle
    with the Misaka Network.
[11:55] ---
    That's what you meant by having the initiative.
[11:58] ---
    What are they planning
    to use the Misaka Network for?
[12:02] ---
    All I can say for sure is
    that it won't be anything good.
[12:07] ---
    After all, we're dealing with the
    advocate for Project Level 6 Shift,
[12:12] ---
    "#8 Railgun ✕ Mental Out"
[12:13] ---
    Kihara Gensei.
[12:18] ---
    Kihara Gensei...
[12:20] ---
    I've never met him directly,
    but I've heard his name a number of times.
[12:25] ---
    I didn't know he was
    the advocate for that project.
[12:28] ---
    And not just that project, either.
[12:30] ---
    The man will stop at nothing
    in his quest for the truth.
[12:34] ---
    He's the granddaddy of Academy City's
    field of study into SYSTEM
[12:37] ---
    and has brought down many
    a researcher and research institution.
[12:42] ---
    He wouldn't propose something
    as small-minded as restarting the project,
[12:46] ---
    so I'm sure there's something up his sleeve.
[12:49] ---
    All that being said,
[12:51] ---
    we're currently on our way
    to where Kihara Gensei is.
[12:55] ---
    Is he that easy to reach?
[12:57] ---
    Of course not. The old man appears
    and disappears like a ghost,
[13:01] ---
    so it took a lot of work to track him down.
[13:03] ---
    Word is that he's secretly coming
[13:06] ---
    to the International
    Ability Researchers Conference
[13:08] ---
    about to be held in School District 9.
[13:10] ---
    I read the mind of one of his insiders,
    so there's no doubt about it.
[13:14] ---
    I'm planning to use
    this once-in-a-lifetime chance
[13:16] ---
    to settle everything in one shot.
[13:19] ---
    You didn't happen to manipulate
    Kuroko and the others' memories
[13:23] ---
    so that they wouldn't be exposed to any danger
[13:26] ---
    as your own weird way of
    being considerate, did you?
[13:29] ---
    Well, if those girls didn't know what
    they were getting into with that old man,
[13:33] ---
    they would meet an untimely death.
[13:36] ---
    And even if it didn't come to that,
[13:38] ---
    the irregularity of their actions
    might mess up my own plan.
[13:42] ---
    Things would have turned out
    unfortunately for all involved.
[13:48] ---
    Then why...
[13:51] ---
    ...didn't you tell me about this from the start?
[13:53] ---
    Why did you even erase Kuroko
    and the others' memories to hide it?
[13:57] ---
    You remember me saying earlier
    that they're wary about you?
[14:01] ---
    If we'd teamed up,
    they would know all about me, too.
[14:04] ---
    Still, there were any number of ways
    you could have gone about this!
[14:07] ---
    Miss Kongo is...!
[14:10] ---
    I guess I was the one who got her involved,
[14:13] ---
    and if she did come into
    contact with them by accident,
[14:16] ---
    then blaming you for it
    might be misdirected. But still,
[14:20] ---
    if you and I had teamed up from the start,
[14:23] ---
    Miss Kongo wouldn't have had
    to go through what she did!
[14:27] ---
    I do feel bad about what happened to her.
[14:30] ---
    But you know what?
[14:31] ---
    She ended up taking down a piece
    of trash that I don't get along with,
[14:36] ---
    and I appreciated the help.
[14:38] ---
    And I'm telling you,
    you should have let me handle him!
[14:42] ---
    Why...?
[14:42] ---
    What if you had set off their alarms,
    and Kihara Gensei didn't show up?
[14:48] ---
    What if you had sold me out,
    and served me up to them?
[14:52] ---
    --I'd never do something like that--
    --Cooperation?
[14:54] ---
    Trust? How can you believe
    in such unreliable things?
[15:00] ---
    The end result of you readily
    taking people at their word
[15:03] ---
    was Project Radio Noise
[15:05] ---
    and Project Level 6 Shift, wasn't it?
[15:08] ---
    I make certain to peek around inside
    the head of anyone working with me.
[15:13] ---
    What their motives and
    standards of behavior are.
[15:16] ---
    And in some cases,
    I manipulate their emotions and actions.
[15:21] ---
    I don't know what you're thinking,
    so partnering with you was something...
[15:25] ---
    ...I was never interested in.
[15:27] ---
    The reason we're together now
[15:29] ---
    is out of respect for
    your commitment to your friends,
[15:34] ---
    and so that we can settle this quickly,
[15:36] ---
    before they find out we're together.
[15:39] ---
    Sure enough, you and I
    are never going to get along.
[15:45] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[15:48] ---
    Why does someone as inhuman
    as you are care about the Sisters?
[15:53] ---
    Good question. But I'm under
    no obligation to tell you.
[15:58] ---
    Besides,
[15:59] ---
    it looks like we're almost there.
[16:08] ---
    Ms. Misuzu?
[16:10] ---
    This is the nap room
    at the 177th Branch office...
[16:16] ---
    If your supposition is correct,
[16:19] ---
    it would mean that Uiharu has
    been controlled since yesterday.
[16:22] ---
    Mm-hmm...
[16:24] ---
    They went to such pains to hide the site,
[16:27] ---
    so they would probably try to
    investigate Uiharu when she found it.
[16:30] ---
    I think they altered her memories
    to suit them while she was being read.
[16:34] ---
    Was that the reason why she made
    that patrol route mistake, too?
[16:38] ---
    Hmm... Either way,
    we don't tell Uiharu about this, okay?
[16:42] ---
    She has the tendency
    to feel guilty about these things.
[16:46] ---
    U-Uihar--?
[16:48] ---
    Um, would you mind telling me
    exactly what you're talking about?
[16:53] ---
    Well, um...
[16:55] ---
    As you wish.
[16:55] ---
    Huh?!
[16:56] ---
    However, before I do,
    would you please make us some tea?
[16:59] ---
    I hate to ask after you just got up, but...
[17:02] ---
    Oh, sure.
[17:04] ---
    Sh-Shirai!
[17:05] ---
    Your thoughtfulness in not wishing
    to hurt one of your friends is wonderful,
[17:11] ---
    but Uiharu is not so fragile a girl
[17:13] ---
    that something like this would break her.
[17:18] ---
    Mind control...?
[17:20] ---
    You don't say.
[17:22] ---
    So I've been gumming up
    the works without even knowing it.
[17:30] ---
    Okay, now that we have taken a moment,
[17:32] ---
    it is time to restart the investigation.
[17:34] ---
    Uiharu, please pick out any
    suspicious individuals from the Bank.
[17:38] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
[17:40] ---
    I may still be under whatever
    mind control is obstructing us.
[17:44] ---
    We do not have time for you
    to undergo a thorough exam.
[17:48] ---
    Right now, Uiharu, we need your abilities.
[17:51] ---
    If you are concerned,
    you can do your work in front of us.
[17:55] ---
    Or do you still need more sleep?
[17:57] ---
    N-No! I'll get the ball rolling right now!
[18:00] ---
    That was impressive.
[18:02] ---
    But to be fair, we were also
    affected by her mind control.
[18:06] ---
    I'm not saying a word.
[18:08] ---
    Okay then,
[18:09] ---
    you're free to go back to your usual business.
[18:15] ---
    The conference is being held up ahead.
[18:17] ---
    The security on the way
    there has been neutralized.
[18:19] ---
    That's where Kihara Gensei is, right?
[18:23] ---
    As long as you don't do
    anything to interfere with me,
[18:25] ---
    you can stay here and watch if you'd like.
[18:27] ---
    Are you kidding? Against folks who can't
    do anything without victimizing others?
[18:33] ---
    I'm pulling the plug on them!
[18:35] ---
    Ah, wait just a second!
[18:38] ---
    Level 6...
[18:40] ---
    A domain that can't conceivably
    be reached by existing abilities alone...
[18:44] ---
    Something even Accelerator would have
    to sacrifice 20,000 clones to achieve...
[18:50] ---
    Whatever Kihara Gensei might be planning,
[18:53] ---
    it will likely carry a cost
    even higher than before.
[18:56] ---
    If he can find that great
    a price acceptable, then...
[19:00] ---
    A godly brain...
[19:02] ---
    The nature of this city
    in pursuing that really is...
[19:06] ---
    Come on, now.
[19:08] ---
    How can I be preoccupied with my own thoughts
[19:10] ---
    when I'm about to charge into enemy territory?
[19:15] ---
    Shokuho...?
[19:17] ---
    She's not there.
    The way here was a straight shot.
[19:20] ---
    There's no way we could get separated.
[19:22] ---
    She set me up!
[19:24] ---
    Maybe she thought she could
    rope me in with all that slick talk,
[19:29] ---
    but if she wants to tangle...!
[19:33] ---
    H-Hey... I told you... to wait up... okay...?
[19:42] ---
    Don't you have... any attentiveness...?
[19:47] ---
    Don't go off...
    getting charged up... without me...
[19:52] ---
    I'm the one who brought you here...
    so it's only right...
[19:57] ---
    ...that we stick together...
[19:59] ---
    Don't go dashing off at full speed...
[20:02] ---
    Actually, I think that was more like jogging.
[20:08] ---
    W-Well, I am heavier in
    certain areas than you are,
[20:13] ---
    so you have less wind resistance.
[20:15] ---
    You can understand how hard it is for me, right?
[20:18] ---
    Actually,
[20:20] ---
    you're just lousy at sports, aren't you?
[20:24] ---
    Huh?! Huh?! Who's lousy at--
[20:27] ---
    Come to think of it, I don't remember
    ever seeing you take a gym class.
[20:32] ---
    So what, people who are athletic are better?
    What are you, in grade school?!
[20:36] ---
    Ah, that must be why you
    have the figure of a little girl!
[20:39] ---
    M-My figure has nothing to do with this!
[20:42] ---
    What about you? What's with those
    sparkles in your eyes? Shojo manga?
[20:45] ---
    I was born this way!
[20:46] ---
    Didn't anyone ever teach you not
    to make fun of others' appearances?!
[20:48] ---
    Oh, yeah?! Look who's talking!
[21:02] ---
    Now that I think back on it,
    bringing you here was an irregularity.
[21:07] ---
    I always planned to take care
    of things here by myself.
[21:12] ---
    There's no need for us to charge
    in hand in hand, is there?
[21:15] ---
    Yeah. I feel uneasy trying
    to partner with you, myself.
[21:20] ---
    --Let's do this independently.
    --Let's do this independently.
[21:25] ---
    Don't do anything to slow me down, okay?
[21:28] ---
    Right back at you!
[21:31] ---
    Let's see, I'd better report what I found.
[21:34] ---
    As far as the person who stole the data
    from our villas, it wasn't Misaka Mikoto;
[21:40] ---
    it looks like it was the
    fifth-ranked, Shokuho Misaki.
[21:43] ---
    She must have set her up to be the fall guy
[21:45] ---
    to mask whatever traces she
    couldn't hide with memory manipulation.
[21:49] ---
    It looks like she also knew about
    the do-not-kill bulletin on Misaka Mikoto
[21:52] ---
    that got sent out to MEMBER.
[21:54] ---
    Did you finally figure it out, Kozaku Mitori?
[21:57] ---
    Huh? Hold on, you mean you knew?
    Then you could have told me.
[22:03] ---
    Letting you know would not
    have changed your jobs, right?
[22:07] ---
    Kozaku, you just get things
    ready on your end. Understood?
[22:12] ---
    Yeah...
[22:14] ---
    But are you sure about this?
[22:16] ---
    Shokuho Misaki's objective in getting
    the data from the villas was definitely...
[22:21] ---
    It's all right. No need to worry.
    All green. In fact...
[22:27] ---
    I'm almost afraid that things
    are going too smoothly.
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:26] ---
    Okay, let's charge in there!
    You immobilize any security guards,
[23:30] ---
    and I'll blast my way through
    any walls using my railgun!
[23:32] ---
    My Mental Out doesn't work on Miss Misaka.
[23:35] ---
    I wonder if that isn't
    because of her EM barrier
[23:38] ---
    but because her brains are made of muscle.
[23:41] ---

[00:07] ---
    Area B, what's your status?
[00:08] ---
    Nothing out of the ordinary.
[00:10] ---
    Continue to maintain security.
[00:13] ---
    Good grief, even with all these security robots,
[00:16] ---
    they still call in a private service like us?
[00:20] ---
    What kind of bigshot do they have coming here?
[00:31] ---
    Wh-What happened? A malfunction?
[00:35] ---
    Hey, who are you?! That's my tablet!
[00:37] ---
    If Kihara Gensei is here...
[00:40] ---
    --...he's in the VIP room. From the map...
    --What did you just...? Hey!
[00:43] ---
    it looks like cutting through
    here would be quickest.
[00:47] ---
    It's a little bit violent,
[00:49] ---
    but I can't let Shokuho get the jump on me.
[01:10] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:29] ---
    She's as barbaric as ever, huh?
[02:33] ---
    Can't she behave with a little more elegance?
[02:35] ---
    Hurry! That came from Area B!
[02:39] ---
    Hold it!
[02:40] ---
    There's someone here, too!
[02:42] ---
    Halt! I don't know how you got in here,
[02:45] ---
    but we're authorized to detain
    anybody who doesn't belong here!
[02:47] ---
    Stop or we'll shoot.
[02:50] ---
    Fine, then. Shoot her.
[02:53] ---
    Hey, what's wrong with you?
    Didn't you hear my order?!
[02:57] ---
    You're free to fire.
[02:59] ---
    Wh-Why, you...!
[03:07] ---
    We've been expecting you.
[03:09] ---
    Good work, everyone.
[03:11] ---
    I'll just quickly erase this man's memories.
[03:14] ---
    Okay, the rest of you, take a seat.
[03:18] ---
    Block off any exits that will
    let anyone break out of here.
[03:21] ---
    I don't want even a single ant to get out.
[03:24] ---
    Make sure to capture Kihara Gensei.
[03:27] ---
    --Yes, ma'am!
    --Yes, ma'am!
[03:31] ---
    Metal that can turn liquid...
[03:34] ---
    Did you find something out?
[03:36] ---
    Hmm, a little while ago,
[03:38] ---
    the stuff was really popular,
    and a number of companies developed it,
[03:42] ---
    but it turns out that only two
    of those companies are still around.
[03:45] ---
    Yes, but neither of them
    have any record of loss or theft.
[03:51] ---
    Of course, we cannot dismiss the
    possibility of there being a mole, either.
[03:55] ---
    Miss Shirai, I sent you the
    Bank list that I narrowed down.
[03:58] ---
    Okay, I will look at it now.
[04:01] ---
    Huh? They have a shuttered
    factory in School District 7.
[04:07] ---
    There she is! I found her!
[04:11] ---
    Her name is Kozaku Mitori.
[04:13] ---
    She is a 3rd-year at Kirigaoka Middle School.
[04:15] ---
    Age 15. Dropped out? Huh?
[04:19] ---
    Non-public information?
[04:21] ---
    What does that mean?
[04:22] ---
    I just cross-referenced Antiskill's database.
[04:26] ---
    She committed attempted terrorism 14 months ago
[04:30] ---
    and was sent to a reform school.
[04:33] ---
    Huh? So then, if she attacked you,
[04:37] ---
    does that mean that she broke out or something?
[04:39] ---
    If that were the case,
    Judgment would have gotten a notice.
[04:43] ---
    Are you positive this is the right person?
[04:46] ---
    She was wearing a hood low over her eyes.
    I cannot be absolutely certain.
[04:51] ---
    But the deep-seated darkness in this girl's eyes
[04:54] ---
    makes me think this is the same person.
[04:56] ---
    Then why don't we go to the
    Bank Control Center to double-check?
[05:00] ---
    We might be able to find something out.
[05:04] ---
    All right.
[05:05] ---
    Okay then... Oh--
[05:07] ---
    But what do we do about Ms. Misuzu?
[05:10] ---
    I explained the situation to Miss Konori.
    I do not think it will be an issue.
[05:16] ---
    Miss Saten, what are you going to do?
[05:18] ---
    Huh?
[05:19] ---
    Saten, only members of Judgment
    will be allowed inside the control center.
[05:24] ---
    Oh, you don't say.
[05:26] ---
    Okay then, I guess I'll pass.
[05:28] ---
    I'll find something else to pass the time.
[05:35] ---
    Oh, yeah,
[05:36] ---
    it's still the middle of the Daihasei Festival.
[05:40] ---
    So much has happened,
[05:42] ---
    I almost forgot.
[05:44] ---
    Excuse me!
[05:45] ---
    "Good luck charm"
[05:46] ---
    I'm doing a scavenger hunt!
    Does anyone have a good-luck charm?
[05:51] ---
    Nobody has one? Okay...
[05:55] ---
    Here in Academy City,
    where science is everything,
[05:57] ---
    I would get stuck with this one, of all things.
[06:00] ---
    Just my luck!!
[06:02] ---
    A good luck charm?
[06:05] ---
    I have the one I got from Mama
    when I came to Academy City,
[06:09] ---
    but it is kind of important to me,
    so I couldn't just let a stranger take it.
[06:16] ---
    I'm sorry, spiky-haired guy.
[06:18] ---
    Just my luck!!
[06:22] ---
    There you go.
[06:28] ---
    Um, you wouldn't happen to have
    a good luck charm, would you?
[06:31] ---
    I'm sorry, but no.
[06:34] ---
    Oh, no, forgive me for asking.
[06:36] ---
    He's still at it.
    And we've come quite a way, too.
[06:40] ---
    As late as it is, he has to be in last place.
[06:44] ---
    Oh, but then, if you quit the
    scavenger hunt, you get zero points,
[06:47] ---
    so as long as he crosses the finish line,
    he'll at least get last place.
[06:51] ---
    --He's still at it, and not giving up.
    --Does anyone have a good luck charm?!
[06:54] ---
    --He seems nice enough.
    He wouldn't toss it away, or anything.
    --Excuse me! Anyone?!
[06:57] ---
    --He seems nice enough.
    He wouldn't toss it away, or anything.
    --Does anyone have a good luck charm?!
[06:59] ---
    Excuse me!
[07:00] ---
    I have one.
[07:02] ---
    Huh? R-Really? Would you let me borrow it?
[07:06] ---
    Sure. Let's see...
[07:09] ---
    You're a lifesaver!
[07:11] ---
    Whoa, I can't go erasing its luck, can I?
[07:14] ---
    Huh? So um, it may look pretty beat up,
    but it's still important to me.
[07:21] ---
    Hmm? Oh, I understand, of course.
    Once I cross the finish line, I'll return it.
[07:26] ---
    But then, I can't just
    ask you to wait here until then.
[07:29] ---
    All right, how about we
    meet up in one hour over there?
[07:34] ---
    Okay, you got it.
[07:36] ---
    And if we don't see each other,
[07:37] ---
    could you deliver it to Judgement Branch 177?
[07:41] ---
    All right...
[07:43] ---
    ...um...
[07:44] ---
    Oh, I'm Saten.
[07:46] ---
    I'm Kamijo Toma. Thanks.
    I promise I'll get it back to you!
[07:50] ---
    Bye!
[07:54] ---
    Come to think of it,
[07:55] ---
    that closed-down factory is around here.
[07:56] ---
    "Keep out"
[07:59] ---
    "Shinohara Liquid Material Factory"
[08:02] ---
    Huh? This says that Kozaku Mitori is deceased!
[08:07] ---
    Oh, excuse me...
[08:09] ---
    Is this data accurate?
[08:11] ---
    Yes.
[08:12] ---
    Or at least, it's true that your
    person was filed under "deceased."
[08:16] ---
    Two months ago,
[08:17] ---
    at the reform school.
    Cause of death was heart failure.
[08:22] ---
    Perhaps I was mistaken about this after all.
[08:26] ---
    But don't you think this is a little strange?
[08:28] ---
    Huh?
[08:29] ---
    According to this timestamp,
    her remains would have had to be cremated
[08:33] ---
    right after they were discovered.
[08:36] ---
    Indeed so. There would have
    been no time for an autopsy.
[08:40] ---
    Perhaps they didn't do one.
[08:42] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[08:44] ---
    You know, maybe there was
    something they wanted hidden,
[08:47] ---
    so they destroyed the evidence
    before cause of death could be determined.
[08:51] ---
    For that matter,
[08:52] ---
    maybe your person isn't even dead!
[08:54] ---
    Uh, do you have any grounds
    why you would think that?
[08:58] ---
    No, no, no.
[08:59] ---
    But I do love a good conspiracy theory.
[09:02] ---
    You and Miss Saten would get along nicely.
[09:05] ---
    Yeah...
[09:06] ---
    I've heard a rumor, you see,
[09:08] ---
    that once in a while, for whatever reason,
[09:11] ---
    the students who are taken in
    by Academy City's reform schools
[09:13] ---
    end up disappearing out of the blue.
[09:17] ---
    The guards report it to their superiors,
[09:19] ---
    but it ends up getting swept under
    the rug without much of an investigation.
[09:23] ---
    Even worse, it's always the high-level espers
[09:26] ---
    and outstanding students who vanish.
[09:30] ---
    So the story goes that there's a deal
    between Academy City and the inmates,
[09:35] ---
    and that they must be secretly
    getting discharged from there.
[09:39] ---
    It's probably more convenient
    for them if they're labeled as dead.
[09:44] ---
    Really though, at the end of the day,
[09:47] ---
    "#9 Kozaku Mitori"
[09:47] ---
    rumors are just rumors.
[09:51] ---
    We ended up not really
    learning anything for sure.
[09:56] ---
    Even so,
[09:57] ---
    if we suppose that it really was
    Kozaku Mitori who abducted you two,
[10:03] ---
    it means that there is someone
    with enough influence to fake her death
[10:06] ---
    behind what is going on.
[10:08] ---
    Assuming that's true,
[10:10] ---
    what would she want with Ms. Misuzu and myself?
[10:16] ---
    Considering what the situation was,
[10:18] ---
    Kozaku Mitori's target was likely Misaka Mikoto.
[10:22] ---
    However, I cannot begin
    to guess what the objective was.
[10:27] ---
    Why indeed?
[10:30] ---
    You really are concerned, aren't you?
[10:32] ---
    About Miss Misaka?
[10:33] ---
    Huh?! Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?!
[10:35] ---
    I was only speaking as a member of Judgment!
[10:38] ---
    I-I am by no means interested in that girl!
[10:41] ---
    I mean, sure, her manner earlier
    was quite distinguished, but even so--
[10:53] ---
    Damn! What the hell is going on?!
[10:56] ---
    Why are our own people ambushing us?
[10:58] ---
    Hey!
[11:00] ---
    You all right? What do you make of this--
[11:02] ---
    Stay back!
[11:03] ---
    Whoa!
[11:04] ---
    What the hell, man?!
    Are you telling me you're the mole?!
[11:07] ---
    No, you are! You traitor!
[11:09] ---
    I could say the same!
[11:10] ---
    --Her ability has them unable
    to tell who's a friend or foe.
    --Why, you! Hey, stop that, dumbass! --Damn you!
[11:15] ---
    Now that they can't rely on
    their cooperation or communications,
[11:18] ---
    they can no longer function as an organization.
[11:24] ---
    This is the VIP room floor.
    Kihara Gensei's room would be...
[11:29] ---
    What are you doing there?!
[11:32] ---
    You're with Q Squad?
[11:34] ---
    You know you're in D Squad's section, right?
[11:36] ---
    Oh, um,
[11:38] ---
    it sounded like you had an
    emergency here, so I came to help.
[11:43] ---
    Hmm. Our visitor has already taken shelter.
[11:47] ---
    I need you to stick close.
[11:50] ---
    Follow me.
[11:51] ---
    Right.
[11:54] ---
    I could knock him out right here,
[11:56] ---
    but if Gensei is inside,
    it would be better to let him take me there.
[12:01] ---
    This one is sketchy.
[12:03] ---
    Q Squad shouldn't even be on duty right now.
[12:07] ---
    Moreover, she didn't respond to the signal.
[12:11] ---
    As soon as I turn this next corner...
[12:14] ---
    --I'll turn around and put a bullet in her.
    --I'll turn around and put a bullet in her.
[12:18] ---
    That's what he's thinking.
[12:20] ---
    I don't need you to tell me.
[12:22] ---
    My radar has already picked up on him.
[12:28] ---
    What's with the getup?
[12:30] ---
    Oh, hush!
[12:31] ---
    Unlike you, I can't afford to
    let my face or gym clothes be seen.
[12:36] ---
    But never mind me, where is Gensei?
[12:38] ---
    I'm putting my investigative
    powers to work right now.
[12:41] ---
    He better not have gotten away.
[12:43] ---
    I've seized control of all the escape routes,
[12:46] ---
    from the underground passageways
    to the heliport on the roof.
[12:53] ---
    Speak of the devil...
[12:55] ---
    He said that Gensei is in custody.
[13:02] ---
    Hmm...
[13:04] ---
    There's nothing here, which is no surprise.
[13:07] ---
    It's about one step short of collapsing.
[13:10] ---
    And any materials that were left
    over were probably already looted.
[13:15] ---
    Or so I thought...
[13:20] ---
    Someone's here!
[13:22] ---
    Man, that cosplay girl is a real slave driver.
[13:26] ---
    --Yeah, but we're being paid well enough.
[13:27] ---
    --What are they doing in here?
    --Yeah, but we're being paid well enough.
[13:35] ---
    The electricity is on?
[13:38] ---
    Ah, it's closing!
[13:44] ---
    Whew, just barely made it!
[13:49] ---
    Wait, why did I even come in here?
[13:53] ---
    I-It won't open!
    I need a special card or something.
[13:57] ---
    Wh-Wh-What do I do?
[13:59] ---
    --I should call Uiharu-- Uh-oh!
[13:59] ---
    --So anyway, what's she
    supposed to be cosplaying as?
    --I should call Uiharu-- Uh-oh!
[14:01] ---
    --Beats me. A nurse, maybe?
    --I should call Uiharu-- Uh-oh!
[14:14] ---
    Could this place actually be...?
[14:19] ---
    Do not turn around.
[14:21] ---
    S-Sure...
[14:23] ---
    What are you doing in here?
[14:24] ---
    O-Oh, um, I-I just...
[14:27] ---
    ...got a little lost...
[14:31] ---
    Forget everything you saw,
    and get out of here without another word.
[14:34] ---
    O-Okay, I will. I'm leaving right now.
[14:40] ---
    Bingo! Why did my sense about
    these things have to be right this time?
[14:46] ---
    U-Um, I can't get out of here by myself--
[14:48] ---
    I told you not to turn around, you idiot!
[14:59] ---
    Huh? What is...?
[15:06] ---
    Whoops.
[15:08] ---
    Hmm? What are you doing?
    You're just letting her get away.
[15:14] ---
    This plan business is
    already in its final stage, right?
[15:18] ---
    I figured that no matter what
    happened here, it wouldn't interfere.
[15:24] ---
    Then again, you have
    no reason to let her live, do you?
[15:30] ---
    Excuse me, what's all the commotion--
[15:33] ---
    An intruder. Go catch
    the girl who just ran away.
[15:36] ---
    R-Right!
[15:39] ---
    Idiot.
[15:40] ---
    Why'd you have to stick your nose in here?
[15:48] ---
    What is it, Doctor?
[15:49] ---
    Xóchitl, I need you to listen closely.
[15:53] ---
    As it happens, I finally was
    able to inquire of the members
[15:57] ---
    of Academy City's Governing Board
    and get everything arranged.
[16:02] ---
    What?
[16:03] ---
    Wah! No!
[16:06] ---
    Come on! Let go of me!
[16:09] ---
    --Well, well, well, what a lively little rat.
    --I said let me go!
[16:13] ---
    What are we gonna do with this kid?
[16:15] ---
    --Hmm... Once you get her
    to tell you why she snuck in,
    --Put me down, you big...!
[16:19] ---
    dispose of her any way you see fit.
[16:22] ---
    --I've got places I have to go.
    --No!
[16:33] ---
    Oh-ho...
[16:36] ---
    What's this? Betrayal?
[16:38] ---
    Or do you have some kind of
    sentiment for the rat behind you?
[16:44] ---
    I don't really care what happens to this idiot.
[16:47] ---
    But the real backstabber
    here is you, isn't it, Kozaku?
[16:53] ---
    MEMBER, the dark side organization I belong to,
[16:57] ---
    is supposed to work under the direction
    of Academy City's Governing Board.
[17:03] ---
    So naturally, we thought that your
    orders came from the governing board.
[17:09] ---
    However...
[17:11] ---
    ...the Doctor had some doubts
    and did some fact checking.
[17:13] ---
    He discovered that this job has
    nothing to do with the governing board.
[17:19] ---
    You conspired with an outside client
    and used your position as a go-between
[17:24] ---
    to get Baba and me to do your work.
[17:27] ---
    Didn't you?
[17:30] ---
    As far as I'm concerned,
[17:32] ---
    it doesn't matter who's giving the instructions.
[17:36] ---
    But when it comes to traitors,
[17:38] ---
    they must be punished.
[17:41] ---
    My, my, if we go at it right here,
    it will be a one-sided massacre.
[17:47] ---
    Are you sure about that?
[17:49] ---
    You may think you can
    sit back and watch from afar,
[17:52] ---
    but I doubt you're aware of
    the full extent of my techniques.
[18:01] ---
    I'm willing to bet 90% of that is hot air,
[18:04] ---
    but it's true, her unusual powers
    are unlike anything in Academy City.
[18:10] ---
    She may conjure up some phenomenon
    I would never even imagine.
[18:14] ---
    I can't exactly afford
    any setbacks at this point, either.
[18:19] ---
    Sheesh! Okay, fine.
[18:21] ---
    I'm out of here.
[18:24] ---
    But one word of warning before I go.
    If you have somewhere to go home to,
[18:28] ---
    right now would be a
    good time to leave Academy City.
[18:32] ---
    If you want to live to an old age, that is.
[18:34] ---
    I have nowhere to return to. Besides,
[18:37] ---
    there's someone here I have
    to hunt down even if it costs me my life.
[18:42] ---
    Aren't you a little lady?
[18:50] ---
    U-Um...
[18:52] ---
    Thank you so much for sparing me!
[18:55] ---
    Huh? You're that girl I met yesterday, right?
[18:58] ---
    Is this your way of thanking me
    for showing you how to use your cell--
[19:02] ---
    Ow!
[19:04] ---
    There's self-defense techniques,
    and there's martyr's resolve,
[19:07] ---
    and if you don't have either of them,
[19:09] ---
    don't go thoughtlessly wandering
    into the dark side's business.
[19:14] ---
    Follow me.
[19:17] ---
    I'll take you to the exit.
[19:21] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[19:25] ---
    So, where was he?
[19:27] ---
    We found him hiding in the safe room.
[19:31] ---
    This...
[19:33] ---
    is Kihara Gensei?
[19:36] ---
    Should I pull his tape off?
[19:37] ---
    Oh, I don't need him to talk.
[19:40] ---
    I'll consult his brain directly.
[19:47] ---
    What are you doing?!
[19:53] ---
    A disguise?
[19:56] ---
    Wait, Shokuho! What's going on?!
[19:59] ---
    Shokuho!
[20:01] ---
    Huh?
[20:01] ---
    A Kihara Gensei duplicate, using special makeup?
[20:06] ---
    I have some business
    that I just could not get out of.
[20:09] ---
    But, sir...
[20:10] ---
    All you have to do at the
    forum is nod and say "mm-hmm."
[20:13] ---
    Okay...
[20:15] ---
    Now, if you're reading his memories,
    you know what the situation is.
[20:20] ---
    Sir?
[20:21] ---
    If you're there now,
    then you can't be at you-know-where.
[20:26] ---
    Um...
[20:27] ---
    Do you think Exterior
    can be kept safe without you,
[20:32] ---
    Shokuho Misaki?
[20:34] ---
    Why?
[20:36] ---
    Why would Gensei do that?
[20:46] ---
    Hold up! Shokuho!
[20:49] ---
    At least explain what's going on!
[20:51] ---
    Drive! As fast as you can!
[20:58] ---
    --Ow!
    --Ow!
[21:07] ---
    Coming around, are you?
[21:09] ---
    You're in a certain
    building in School District 2.
[21:13] ---
    "Did you rescue Misaka?"
    asks Misaka, expressing her gratitude.
[21:21] ---
    No, this is all just part of the job.
    I do not need any thanks.
[21:31] ---
    And she's back asleep again.
[21:35] ---
    Well, well, here I thought I had finally
    found some respectable work again...
[21:41] ---
    ...but it looks like things
    have taken an ugly turn.
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    What exactly is "Exterior"?

[23:28] ---
    Huh? Oh, you know, it's that legendary sword.
[23:30] ---
    That's "Excalibur."
[23:32] ---
    The big light fixture?
[23:32] ---
    That's a "chandelier."
[23:33] ---
    A dog?
[23:33] ---
    That's a "terrier."
[23:34] ---
    Someone who does hairdos
    with only their own hair?
[23:36] ---
    Those are extensions--no, wait!
    Hey, what's the big idea?

    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:13] ---
    So you're saying that Kihara Gensei
[02:16] ---
    is after the place on the
    urban legends website?
[02:18] ---
    That's right.
[02:19] ---
    But how did he find out about it?
[02:23] ---
    It wasn't me!
[02:25] ---
    I know that. Chronologically,
    the order of events doesn't fit.
[02:29] ---
    Could the information be a trap,
    and he's leading you on?
[02:33] ---
    Like he doesn't really know
    where it is, and he's tailing us?
[02:37] ---
    It is possible.
[02:40] ---
    But if that's the case,
[02:41] ---
    even if he does find out where it is,
    I can still manage.
[02:44] ---
    In the worst-case scenario...
[02:49] ---
    Hey! Why did you stop?!
[02:52] ---
    A traffic jam?
[02:53] ---
    What is this?!
[02:55] ---
    One of the unmanned buses that goes
    around Academy City burst into flames.
[03:00] ---
    All the buses have been shut down
    while they determine the cause.
[03:04] ---
    And with one of the main means of
    travel during the Daihasei Festival gone,
[03:07] ---
    there are traffic jams all over
    that extend for several kilometers.
[03:12] ---
    We're blocked in from behind, too.
[03:15] ---
    Then there's no other choice.
[03:18] ---
    Exterior, commence voluntary
    will reversal past the 13th pair.
[03:27] ---
    Shokuho...?
[03:43] ---
    The way ahead...!
[03:44] ---
    Drive between them, as fast as you can!
[03:47] ---
    R-Right!
[03:51] ---
    Did Shokuho do this?
[03:54] ---
    Thousands of people,
    extending several kilometers ahead?
[04:00] ---
    I don't care if she is Academy City's
    greatest mental ability esper,
[04:04] ---
    there's no way she could exert
    this much nightmarish power.
[04:08] ---
    How exactly did she do this?
[04:12] ---
    Whatever else happens,
[04:14] ---
    I have to keep it from falling
    into their hands while I'm away.
[04:23] ---
    Makuwa, what's that you're eating?
[04:26] ---
    Hmm? Melon slices, as you can see.
[04:30] ---
    What food do you hate?
[04:32] ---
    Apples.
[04:33] ---
    Hmm. Shokuho?
[04:46] ---
    It looks like your abilities
    are coming along nicely.
[04:49] ---
    Once Exterior is complete...
[04:52] ---
    I don't think you really need that thing.
[04:56] ---
    Oh, don't say that. This project
    will not only benefit us greatly,
[05:00] ---
    but you, as well.
[05:03] ---
    So, can I leave now?
[05:06] ---
    No, before you go,
    there's someone I'd like you to meet.
[05:13] ---
    Well, how are you feeling today?
[05:16] ---
    Allow me to introduce you.
[05:18] ---
    This is the Prototype,
    but we just call her "Dolly."
[05:22] ---
    Prototype?
[05:26] ---
    Come on, now, say hello.
[05:30] ---
    N-No!
[05:32] ---
    Oh, pipe down.
    Just because I saw your tiny boobs...
[05:39] ---
    Don't look at me.
[05:42] ---
    Oh, well, I guess I don't need
    to go to the trouble of explaining now.
[05:47] ---
    She was born with a kind of illness, you see.
[05:51] ---
    Without those devices implanted
    inside her body, she couldn't live.
[06:01] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:03] ---
    Pretty... gross, wasn't it?
[06:06] ---
    No, I wouldn't say that.
[06:08] ---
    Mm-mm, I can't help it.
[06:12] ---
    I used to have a friend.
[06:18] ---
    Mi...
[06:20] ---
    She used to come here every day
    since I couldn't go out.
[06:24] ---
    We talked about all sorts of things
    and played together a lot.
[06:30] ---
    But...
[06:32] ---
    ...then she got a look at my body.
[06:36] ---
    Starting the next day, she stopped coming.
[06:40] ---
    Why is my body like this?
[06:44] ---
    It disgusted my one
    and only friend. I miss her...
[06:51] ---
    "Clone Dolly Research Lab 2"
[06:52] ---
    So...
[06:53] ---
    what was your goal in putting
    the two of us together, anyway?
[06:58] ---
    We're collecting some
    data from Dolly, you see.
[07:02] ---
    The shock of losing her friend is so great
[07:04] ---
    that we can't read any
    normal values from her right now.
[07:08] ---
    We want you to help her
    to restore her inner peace.
[07:12] ---
    I don't know what you expect me to do.
    With my ability the way it is now,
[07:16] ---
    I can't completely erase
    the memories of her friend,
[07:19] ---
    and even overwriting them is difficult.
[07:23] ---
    Yes. But what about her sense of recognition?
[07:31] ---
    Pardon me.
[07:33] ---
    You came back today,
[07:35] ---
    Mi!
[07:42] ---
    Why am I the one who has to do this?
[07:57] ---
    Aw, what are you doing--
[08:04] ---
    A-Are you sure you're in middle school?
[08:08] ---
    --Mmm... yes, I am.
    --Here.
[08:12] ---
    That's what the teacher says.
[08:14] ---
    Though I've never actually gone to a school.
[08:18] ---
    Mi, do you enjoy school?
[08:20] ---
    Huh, that's a good question.
[08:23] ---
    My ability makes it easy
    for me to get ostracized.
[08:26] ---
    Ostracized?
[08:27] ---
    You know, to get on people's
    bad side, I guess.
[08:31] ---
    Huh?
[08:32] ---
    But, Mi, I love your ability.
[08:36] ---
    Here.
[08:38] ---
    I can't. They told me
    to refrain from using my ability.
[08:43] ---
    Aww...
[08:47] ---
    What is it like outside the research lab?
[08:52] ---
    I'd like to see what they call the ocean.
[08:55] ---
    Unfortunately, Academy
    City isn't on the ocean.
[08:59] ---
    And the checks are so stringent,
    it's not easy to get out of the city.
[09:05] ---
    But then, if we could get an exit pass,
    I'd be happy to take you to the beach.
[09:12] ---
    Thank you, Mi!
[09:14] ---
    E-Easy!
[09:17] ---
    Huh? Wh-What gives?
[09:23] ---
    Nothing.
[09:26] ---
    What's going on?
[09:28] ---
    Good progress.
[09:30] ---
    Yeah. Let's watch how this progresses.
[09:39] ---
    I'm out!
[09:41] ---
    Yay! I win again!
[09:51] ---
    I did it!
[09:53] ---
    Hey, that's bad manners.
[09:55] ---
    Mi, you always have to go up
    next to it to throw things away.
[09:59] ---
    O-Of course I do! Just so you know,
[10:02] ---
    when girls get to be my age,
    literally throwing garbage away
[10:05] ---
    is the greatest breach
    of manners I can think of!
[10:08] ---
    It might be fine right now,
    but once you leave the research facility,
[10:10] ---
    the boys will be sizing up
    your every move, you know.
[10:14] ---
    You need to adopt a more refined attitude--
[10:16] ---
    You can't make it go in?
[10:20] ---
    Huh?! Huh?! I could easily do it!
[10:24] ---
    Really?
[10:26] ---
    Okay, fine. Just watch this.
[10:37] ---
    Th-That one was...
[10:39] ---
    M-My finger just got a little caught on it!
[10:43] ---
    I-I neglected air resistance!
[10:47] ---
    Ah! I had something in my eye!
[10:50] ---
    I-I'll sink it this time for sure.
[10:53] ---
    She keeps getting closer.
[10:56] ---
    Aw, man!
[10:58] ---
    Hang in there!
[11:00] ---
    Focus! Focus!
[11:05] ---
    I-It went in! You see that, Dolly?
    When I really mean it...
[11:16] ---
    H-Hey!
[11:18] ---
    Somebody!
[11:23] ---
    Status?
[11:24] ---
    They will come and collect her shortly.
[11:26] ---
    Uh-oh. I knew it wouldn't
    be much longer, but...
[11:31] ---
    You have to shake it off.
[11:34] ---
    I mean, this is...
[11:38] ---
    What?
[11:41] ---
    Tell me... your name...
[11:55] ---
    Misaki... Shokuho Misaki...
[12:00] ---
    Misaki... thank you for being... my friend...
[12:15] ---
    Sh-She's going to be okay, right?
    She'll recover and be right back, won't she?
[12:21] ---
    No, this is goodbye for Dolly.
[12:25] ---
    Her body gave out a long time ago.
[12:29] ---
    Even with Academy City's
    scientific capabilities,
[12:32] ---
    it would be impossible
    to extend her life any longer.
[12:37] ---
    I'm sure Dolly herself...
[12:39] ---
    "#10 Clone Dolly"
[12:39] ---
    ...was well aware of that.
[12:47] ---
    Oh, are you in here again?
[12:50] ---
    You can't do this;
    you're falling behind in your curriculum.
[12:53] ---
    Oh, right, I got the report,
    so I'll tell you, too.
[12:58] ---
    Word is that she died.
[13:03] ---
    Good grief,
[13:05] ---
    now it's Shokuho who's having problems?
[13:08] ---
    Even that little girl has feelings.
[13:11] ---
    What if you reveal to her
    that Dolly was just a clone?
[13:15] ---
    If she knows she was artificially made,
    she might take it better.
[13:19] ---
    Hmm, well, if the present
    situation continues, I'll consider it.
[13:24] ---
    This Exterior project is not
    some project forced on us from above,
[13:28] ---
    whose objective isn't even clear,
    which has us playing with dolls.
[13:31] ---
    It's the fulfillment of
    our Clone Dolly aspirations.
[13:35] ---
    But what do we do?
[13:37] ---
    If Shokuho Misaki keeps developing like this,
[13:40] ---
    one day, our mental guards won't
    be able to keep her out anymore.
[13:43] ---
    Once that happens,
[13:44] ---
    it will be much harder to keep
    the project's true purpose a secret.
[13:48] ---
    Hmph, that's not such a big problem.
[13:51] ---
    Oh, no? Why not?
[13:54] ---
    Once Exterior is complete,
    we'll have no more use for the girl.
[13:59] ---
    We'll just wait for the right
    opportunity to dispose of her.
[14:01] ---
    All right, this concludes
    our regular meeting.
[14:05] ---
    Good work, everyone.
[14:11] ---
    Well, that's about what I figured.
[14:15] ---
    After that,
[14:16] ---
    I extended my control beneath the surface.
[14:20] ---
    All of the personnel involved
    in Exterior were brainwashed,
[14:23] ---
    such that no matter what kind
    of interrogation they underwent,
[14:26] ---
    they would never reveal that information.
[14:29] ---
    So how did Gensei find the location?
[14:32] ---
    Objective passing target point.
[14:35] ---
    Copy.
[14:36] ---
    All units, fall back!
[14:43] ---
    Whew...
[14:44] ---
    I managed to get it to count.
[14:47] ---
    All thanks to this thing.
[14:49] ---
    Let's see, Miss Saten, wasn't it?
    I thought we were going to meet here.
[14:56] ---
    Aw, man...
[14:57] ---
    "No signal"
[14:58] ---
    No signal?
[15:00] ---
    It's no use. There are powerful
    radio jammers being used around here.
[15:06] ---
    Also,
[15:07] ---
    it looks as though it wasn't a bluff.
[15:13] ---
    Strange, huh? It's too quiet.
[15:15] ---
    I don't sense any unmanned weapons, either.
[15:18] ---
    Maybe they were staying alert
    for Miss Misaka and beat a hasty retreat.
[15:25] ---
    Tell me, where is the crew
    that was working here?
[15:28] ---
    Beats me. They're needed to
    maintain Exterior, so maybe they got killed.
[15:33] ---
    Exterior?
[15:34] ---
    You saw it earlier, remember?
[15:36] ---
    Earlier?
[15:39] ---
    Exterior is a booster that
    amplifies and extends my ability,
[15:43] ---
    I guess is the way I'd describe it.
[15:46] ---
    Ostensibly, anyhow.
[15:48] ---
    Ostensibly?
[15:50] ---
    The original purpose of the Exterior Project
[15:53] ---
    was to allow anyone
    to be able to use my ability.
[15:56] ---
    Hmm... Huh?!
[16:01] ---
    Whether the registered person
    was an esper or a regular person,
[16:06] ---
    they would gain the power to use Mental Out.
    That's the kind of toy it is.
[16:13] ---
    This place, Clone Dolly,
    was originally a research institution
[16:17] ---
    whose goal was to produce geniuses
    and super-power-leveled people.
[16:21] ---
    But they were blinded by
    my powers of ingenuity,
[16:23] ---
    and when the researchers
    took the shortcut of saying,
[16:26] ---
    "It's quicker to brainwash great
    figures than it is to create them,"
[16:29] ---
    what they developed was "Exterior."
[16:32] ---
    Though, I took the project
    over once I shut them down.
[16:36] ---
    Mental Out is a power that I,
    as a person of virtuous character, can control.
[16:41] ---
    If any common lowbrows got it,
    they might wield it carelessly,
[16:44] ---
    and that would be dangerous.
[16:45] ---
    Amplifying your ability
    by itself sounds pretty farfetched,
[16:49] ---
    but to transfer it to someone else?
[16:51] ---
    Is this the "DNA computer
    that can produce abilities"
[16:53] ---
    that was on that urban legends website?
[16:56] ---
    Where would a rumor like that
[16:58] ---
    ever get started, anyway? For one thing,
[17:02] ---
    it isn't exactly a "computer."
[17:06] ---
    I didn't want anyone else to know about this,
    and now I'm letting you see it.
[17:12] ---
    They cut out a piece of my cerebral cortex,
[17:15] ---
    cultivated it, and created
    a gargantuan brain.
[17:18] ---
    That's what Exterior is.
[17:22] ---
    You mean Kihara Gensei is
    plotting to do something with this?
[17:26] ---
    Probably. But I didn't think
    he could take it with him,
[17:31] ---
    and it takes several days to "register"
    someone to be able to use it.
[17:36] ---
    Yeah, even in his control,
    it's meaningless in the short term.
[17:41] ---
    So is the Sister who he was really after?
[17:43] ---
    But I used my ability to place
    many levels of protection around her.
[17:48] ---
    To get through them all,
    he would need Exterior.
[17:52] ---
    He won't ever find
    the critical seam in my defenses.
[17:56] ---
    The room where we were
    treating your sister is in here.
[18:00] ---
    Follow me.
[18:02] ---
    A signal...?
[18:04] ---
    Hello?!
[18:05] ---
    At last, I made it through.
[18:07] ---
    I'm currently right in front of Exterior.
    Where are you?
[18:10] ---
    On the roof. She's here with me, too.
[18:13] ---
    Excellent work! The roof? I'll be right--
[18:17] ---
    No!
[18:18] ---
    The ones who attacked us
    were a squad of skilled special forces.
[18:23] ---
    I very much doubt they let me,
    carrying someone else, just get away.
[18:26] ---
    It's safe to assume they're trying
    to lead you up here. Please be careful.
[18:31] ---
    It's all right. I have an Amazon here
[18:33] ---
    whose bust size got swallowed up
    by her fighting ability,
[18:37] ---
    so there's no need to worry.
[18:39] ---
    Why, whoever do you mean?
[18:46] ---
    Shokuho!
[18:47] ---
    I see. If she's with you--
[18:50] ---
    This isn't what I planned,
[18:52] ---
    but it does save me some trouble.
[18:57] ---
    Can't move...
[18:59] ---
    What is this...?
[19:01] ---
    Whoa...
[19:02] ---
    Hey there.
[19:03] ---
    "Keitz Nokleben"
[19:03] ---
    It can't be!
[19:04] ---
    Complicating the registration process
    to prevent it from being taken over?
[19:08] ---
    Wishful thinking.
[19:10] ---
    Even without registering, if I tune
    the giant brain to my own brainwaves,
[19:16] ---
    the ability will be mine.
[19:19] ---
    I'm sure you've at least heard
    the stories, haven't you?
[19:23] ---
    Level Upper...
[19:26] ---
    I'm the one who gave Kiyama
    her instructions on how to tune brainwaves.
[19:41] ---
    The multiple layers of protection
    you placed on the Sister
[19:44] ---
    are now a simple matter for me to undo.
[19:48] ---
    "No way!
[19:50] ---
    This is impossible!" says Misaka Misaka...
[19:53] ---
    Huh? What's wrong?
[19:55] ---
    "All of the protection placed
    on 10032 has been removed,"
[19:59] ---
    says Misaka Misaka...
[20:01] ---
    Also, I am able to inject a
    custom virus into the Misaka Network.
[20:12] ---
    Removing the force on a body will...
[20:25] ---
    Is this...
[20:26] ---
    ...the Misaka Network? No...
[20:32] ---
    What is this I'm sensing?
[20:35] ---
    Go on, get going already.
[20:37] ---
    For what reason is that
    gooey girl doing all this stuff?
[20:42] ---
    I don't know exactly.
[20:44] ---
    We just got led around
    following fake orders, after all.
[20:48] ---
    But there was one puzzling thing
    about this assignment,
[20:51] ---
    and I asked what their intention was.
[20:55] ---
    The answer was a bunch of doublespeak,
[20:57] ---
    --but given their attitude at the time,
    I can pretty well guess.
[20:57] ---
    --Whoa...
    --but given their attitude at the time,
    I can pretty well guess.
[21:01] ---
    Magnificent, isn't it?
[21:04] ---
    But all of this enormous power
[21:06] ---
    is nothing more than a light show
    without a use for it.
[21:10] ---
    What would be the most
    interesting use for it?
[21:25] ---
    Wh-What have you...
[21:28] ---
    ...done to her?!
[21:31] ---
    Aleister's favorite, kept tucked away
    in the shadow of the main plan...
[21:36] ---
    What if I were to use it as a trigger
    to awaken your dormant powers?
[21:43] ---
    Their true objective...
[21:45] ---
    ...is Misaka Mikoto.
[22:09] ---
    Now, let the experiment begin.
[22:17] ---
    Let's see if Misaka can reach...
[22:22] ---
    ...the divine will of Level 6?
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    And just like that, Miss Misaka was beaten.
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#11 Joining the Battle"
[23:29] ---
    Starting next week at this time,
    A Certain Scientific Mental Out,
[23:32] ---
    starring me, will begin in this timeslot.
[23:34] ---
    What an old-fashioned next episode preview.
[23:36] ---
    Are you really a middle-schooler?
[23:39] ---
    You've been beaten, so you keep quiet!

[01:04] ---

[01:13] ---
    Would you let me know...
[01:15] ---
    ...exactly what that means, too?
[01:31] ---
    
[01:33] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:05] ---
    Then sure enough,
[03:06] ---
    Misaka Mikoto was their true objective.
[03:09] ---
    I don't know any other details beyond that,
[03:12] ---
    but that is definitely what she said.
[03:14] ---
    Miss Saten is right.
[03:16] ---
    There's an electrical discharge phenomenon
[03:18] ---
    happening in School District 2.
[03:20] ---
    Electrical discharge?
[03:44] ---
    Huh?
[03:46] ---
    What was I just doing?
    My head feels so groggy for some reason.
[03:54] ---
    For that matter, who am I?
[03:58] ---
    Tell me,
[03:59] ---
    how can you be so unconcerned when you know
[04:03] ---
    everything that's happening in this city?
[04:05] ---
    This city? You mean what's
    happening in Academy City?
[04:09] ---
    Like what?
[04:10] ---
    You've seen it, right? You know about it.
[04:13] ---
    How clones are not treated as people--
[04:16] ---
    no, even when dealing with real-life people,
[04:20] ---
    they're still only seen as lab rats.
[04:24] ---
    The true face of this city
    where human dignity is trampled upon...
[04:29] ---
    ...in the name of science.
[04:34] ---
    Yeah, that's right. I remember.
[04:39] ---
    They'll pay for that. No matter
    what reasons they may have had,
[04:44] ---
    anyone who would do something like they did...
[04:49] ---
    Never again.
[04:51] ---
    I have to stop them... I have to stop them...
    I have to stop them...
[04:56] ---
    But how...?
[04:58] ---
    Right over there.
[05:00] ---
    That building.
[05:03] ---
    The one at the center of the city.
    The control tower.
[05:06] ---
    As long as that's there,
    they'll keep doing it over and over again.
[05:11] ---
    Someone will be brought to tears again.
    Someone will get hurt again.
[05:17] ---
    So what do you say?
[05:20] ---
    We should wreck it, okay?
[05:23] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[05:30] ---
    You're right.
[05:50] ---
    Whoa, that was even more than I imagined.
    I might just wet myself.
[05:57] ---
    But after that...
[06:04] ---
    It's unharmed? H-Hold on, what gives here?
[06:08] ---
    It doesn't look like
    there's been any damage at all!
[06:10] ---
    Well, well...
[06:12] ---
    that had dozens of times as much
    firepower as Misaka ordinarily packs,
[06:16] ---
    but if she physically strikes it head-on,
    it won't even put a dent in it.
[06:22] ---
    --That's not what you said--
    --You young people today have no patience.
[06:27] ---
    She is still developing.
[06:30] ---
    I would say she's about 2% of her way
    along her evolution toward Level 6.
[06:36] ---
    Kozaku, if you want to achieve your own goal,
[06:39] ---
    you need to carry out your role now.
[06:43] ---
    Okay.
[06:45] ---
    Oh, and there's one other thing
    I wanted to ask of you.
[06:52] ---
    The governing board building
[06:54] ---
    just had the largest
    lighting strike ever recorded,
[06:56] ---
    and there was an massive electrical
    discharge phenomenon observed
[06:59] ---
    in a section of School District 2.
[07:03] ---
    Send rescue teams with
    investigators to both sites at once.
[07:09] ---
    Yes?
[07:10] ---
    Yes. Yes, acknowledged.
[07:13] ---
    Then I'll get right on--
[07:14] ---
    No, we don't need the issue of having
    outsider casualties during the festival.
[07:20] ---
    Our priority is the evacuation
    of tourists and local residents.
[07:23] ---
    Huh? But sir, that's another matter--
[07:25] ---
    Both sites are closed off.
[07:27] ---
    Not a soul is to be allowed
    to go in, not even Antiskill.
[07:32] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[07:39] ---
    Ow...
[07:41] ---
    Well, even if Antiskill did head there,
    they'd just pile up a body count.
[07:47] ---
    On the other hand,
[07:48] ---
    we could use someone
    who could offer resistance...
[07:52] ---
    Oh my goodness gracious.
[07:55] ---
    His timing in showing up
    is almost too convenient.
[07:59] ---
    If I weren't involved in this,
    I'd be out of here.
[08:01] ---
    This is the right place...
[08:03] ---
    But...
[08:05] ---
    ...since I am involved,
    he looks more like a prince.
[08:09] ---
    Girls sure are capricious, huh?
[08:12] ---
    Let's see...
[08:13] ---
    ...coming at it from above,
    I need to get the angle right...
[08:25] ---
    It couldn't be...
[08:29] ---
    Huh?
[08:29] ---
    Hi!
[08:31] ---
    Wh-What is that?!
    It's going straight into my mind--
[08:35] ---
    Ah, let me just say up front,
[08:38] ---
    if you touch your head with your right hand,
[08:41] ---
    everything I'm about to tell you
    will vanish away, so no touching.
[08:44] ---
    Huh?
[08:45] ---
    Also, unlike a telepath, I'll be writing
    everything into your brain at once,
[08:50] ---
    so I won't hear any arguments.
[08:52] ---
    My brain?
[08:53] ---
    To explain the situation, my ability
    and the Misaka Network are being misused,
[08:59] ---
    and Miss Misaka has been put in a bad way.
[09:01] ---
    Then that really is Misaka?
[09:02] ---
    However...
[09:03] ---
    Hey, listen to me!
[09:04] ---
    --...if you stay near her
    and keep countering her,
    --I guess she can't hear me.
[09:08] ---
    you'll be able to delay the Network alterations.
[09:12] ---
    In all likelihood. Probably.
[09:15] ---
    Hey, you don't sound very certain!
[09:17] ---
    By the way, since brainwashing
    shouldn't have any effect on her,
[09:22] ---
    I wonder if that stuff is manipulating
    the Network to trigger her deep psyche.
[09:28] ---
    What do you think?
[09:29] ---
    Look, why are you asking me?
[09:31] ---
    Well, if you touch her directly,
    maybe it will return her to normal.
[09:35] ---
    Let's take the challenge!
[09:37] ---
    Another thing, who are you?
[09:42] ---
    Challenge, she says...
[09:44] ---
    Seriously?
[09:49] ---
    Uiharu! Where's Shirai?!
[09:51] ---
    Already on her way.
[09:52] ---
    Is there anything I can do to help?
[09:56] ---
    Thanks so much.
[10:01] ---
    There they are. But I don't see Gensei.
[10:06] ---
    Is he planning to keep out of sight
    and watch from a safe distance?
[10:11] ---
    Hold on a second.
[10:13] ---
    You might have been ordered
    to attack me as soon as you're freed,
[10:18] ---
    so I'll program you to "do me no harm."
[10:23] ---
    For now, would you get her
    to a safe location for me?
[10:27] ---
    Assuming such a place even exists.
[10:30] ---
    What about you?
[10:31] ---
    I'm going after Gensei.
[10:33] ---
    Anyone but me could be brainwashed,
    and that would be the end of it.
[10:36] ---
    The only one who can go up against Mental Out
[10:39] ---
    is someone who has the same ability--
[10:45] ---
    Hey!
[10:55] ---
    Uh-oh,
[10:57] ---
    that doesn't work on something
    being remotely controlled, huh?
[11:03] ---
    That won't do any good.
[11:04] ---
    I hate to ask,
[11:05] ---
    but could you hang out with me for a bit?
[11:08] ---
    Don't try to fight me,
    just behave yourself, okay?
[11:14] ---
    Ow...
[11:15] ---
    Judgment!
[11:18] ---
    It would seem that the situation
    is getting even more out of hand.
[11:23] ---
    I need you all to explain
    to me exactly what is going on.
[11:26] ---
    Especially you, Kozaku Mitori.
[11:29] ---
    I have much that I need to investigate,
[11:31] ---
    beginning with falsifying Bank data.
[11:36] ---
    Miss Shirai?
[11:37] ---
    Say what you will, but you can't exactly
    question suspects up here, can you?
[11:45] ---
    I hate to impose,
[11:47] ---
    but you could you zap
    those two out of here first?
[11:51] ---
    Is that Misaka Mikoto?
[11:54] ---
    No...
[12:01] ---
    What about you, too?
[12:03] ---
    No. Could I get you to warp
    the two of us inside the building?
[12:10] ---
    Rats.
[12:11] ---
    On the other hand,
[12:14] ---
    not bad, finding my data
    in the Bank in so short a time.
[12:22] ---
    Thank you, Miss Shirai. You saved me.
[12:25] ---
    I did it to find out what is going on.
[12:28] ---
    I should warn you, though,
    that I do not trust you,
[12:32] ---
    and my suspicion that you attacked
    the 177th Branch office hangs on this.
[12:37] ---
    Still, right now,
    wouldn't it be better for both of us
[12:39] ---
    if we cooperated with each other?
[12:43] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[12:45] ---
    I'm just going to send you
    my observations of the current situation.
[12:49] ---
    It will save me the trouble
    of saying it out loud.
[12:54] ---
    And there you have it. Thank you.
[12:58] ---
    Y-You are going to explain all of this later!
[13:02] ---
    Good luck!
[13:07] ---
    Now then...
[13:09] ---
    There are some extra-large cumulonimbus clouds
[13:12] ---
    now passing over Academy City.
[13:15] ---
    All outdoor competitions are being suspended.
[13:18] ---
    Further, some competitions
    will now be held at the Dome.
[13:21] ---
    --Mama, she said the Dome.
    --To ensure the safety
    of all of our visitors today,
[13:26] ---
    please follow the instructions
    of your nearest attendants...
[13:28] ---
    That's packing some awesome guts.
[13:31] ---
    There's lighting coming out of the ground.
[13:36] ---
    "#11 Joining the Battle"
[13:36] ---
    I think I'll go over there for a look.
[13:44] ---
    It's still... not enough.
[13:48] ---
    To wreck that thing...
    I'll need something more...
[13:53] ---
    It's okay... pretty soon...
[13:58] ---
    Noise...?
[14:06] ---
    I can reach her if I time it right--
[14:19] ---
    What's that?
[14:22] ---
    A nasty pest that's trying to interfere.
[14:25] ---
    You should swat all of those guys away!
[14:30] ---
    I guess...
[14:32] ---
    ...it wasn't going to be that easy.
[14:40] ---
    That is where Miss Misaka is.
[14:43] ---
    In order to direct
    Miss Misaka's barbaric strength,
[14:46] ---
    it's safe to guess that Mental Out
    will be absolutely essential.
[14:50] ---
    Miss Kozaku, was it?
[14:52] ---
    My ability has no effect on her puppets,
[14:56] ---
    so you'd ordinarily have to assume
    that she is Gensei's bodyguard,
[15:01] ---
    but it's hard to accept that at this stage,
[15:05] ---
    one of the few pawns that
    he has is just a bodyguard, isn't it?
[15:09] ---
    Knowing the old man,
    he'll be making use of Level Upper
[15:13] ---
    to share Exterior with her, too.
[15:17] ---
    My guess is that her role is that of "inductor."
[15:23] ---
    I do not know even know that word,
[15:25] ---
    but it feels incredibly odd that I more
    or less understand what it means.
[15:30] ---
    Judging by the high quality
    and precision of her puppets,
[15:34] ---
    her range can't be all that great,
[15:37] ---
    so I need you to find the person
    who's controlling the puppets
[15:41] ---
    so we can stop Miss Misaka.
[15:44] ---
    For goodness' sake!
    Everyone is telling me what I have to do!
[15:48] ---
    Judgment is not your handyman!
[15:52] ---
    Sure enough, here she comes.
[15:55] ---
    Aw, I failed to capture Shokuho Misaki.
[15:59] ---
    I hate to do this, but I have
    to think about protecting myself now.
[16:03] ---
    Can you handle the rest there on your own?
[16:06] ---
    Oh well, I guess that's that.
[16:19] ---
    I can do this! Her force is insane,
    but I can nullify it with my right hand!
[16:23] ---
    Which means...!
[16:26] ---
    No, no, no, no, no, no...
[16:27] ---
    ...that's not playing fair!
[16:29] ---
    Hyper Eccentric Ultra Great Giga Extreme...
[16:33] ---
    ...Hyper again...
[16:35] ---
    ...Amazing Punch!
[16:44] ---
    You okay?
[16:45] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[16:48] ---
    Thanks, you saved me.
[16:50] ---
    Something pretty wicked over there, huh?
[16:52] ---
    Pretty gutsy to grow horns and all.
[16:55] ---
    Okay,
[16:56] ---
    let me take care of things from here.
[16:58] ---
    Huh? Oh, no...
[17:00] ---
    I know her, such that she is.
[17:02] ---
    Thanks, but I can't leave this to anyone else.
[17:05] ---
    But she's nothing to sneeze at.
    You should really take shelter.
[17:09] ---
    Also, I'm not trying kill her.
[17:11] ---
    From what I hear, it's pretty close
    to say she's being controlled.
[17:14] ---
    Being controlled? Then she's short on guts, huh?
[17:19] ---
    I'll knock some into her!
[17:21] ---
    No, that's not the matter here.
[17:23] ---
    Hey, she's just lost her way a little
    and is acting up. If she had more guts...
[17:28] ---
    Listen to me, will you?!
[17:38] ---
    He slapped the lightning away?
[17:41] ---
    He canceled out the lightning?
[17:43] ---
    --Who is this guy?
    --Who is this guy?
[17:47] ---
    I'm Sogiita Gunha. And you are?
[17:50] ---
    Kamijo Toma.
[17:52] ---
    All right!
[17:54] ---
    Try not to get in my way, Kamijo!
[17:56] ---
    Right back at you!
[18:00] ---
    If what Shokuho Misaki said is true,
[18:04] ---
    then Kozaku Mitori must be hiding herself
    in a building near Misaka Mikoto.
[18:09] ---
    That being said, this area is packed
    with research facilities.
[18:13] ---
    Finding a single person
    among all this will be hard.
[18:19] ---
    I guess I have little choice.
[18:22] ---
    Uiharu!
[18:23] ---
    Run all of the cameras
    within an 800-meter radius
[18:26] ---
    --of the Judgment building in School District 2.
    --I'll help with that.
[18:28] ---
    Check to see if Kozaku shows up on any of them.
[18:32] ---
    Also, calculate the blind spots
    of the cameras and send them to me.
[18:36] ---
    I will sweep around those.
[18:38] ---
    Huh?
[18:39] ---
    M-Miss Shirai, all by yourself?
[18:41] ---
    --You need more help--
    --There is no time for that.
[18:46] ---
    Besides...
[18:51] ---
    Besides...
[18:52] ---
    I had faith in you, Kuroko,
    and was sure that you would save her.
[19:01] ---
    Working not only as a member of Judgment,
[19:05] ---
    but also having her trust
[19:08] ---
    did not feel all that bad, surprisingly enough.
[19:19] ---
    An interesting technique you have there,
[19:21] ---
    but I'm starting to grow tired of it!
[19:27] ---
    Hey, Sogii--
[19:31] ---
    Is that...
[19:33] ---
    ...an iron-sand barrier?
[19:34] ---
    Iron sand?
[19:36] ---
    Playing in the sandbox, huh?
    She still doesn't understand what guts are.
[19:41] ---
    Wha--? Again?!
[19:42] ---
    Stand back, Kamijo.
[20:09] ---
    That right hand of yours
    really is fascinating, huh?
[20:12] ---
    Yeah. If I can, I'd like to touch her with it,
[20:15] ---
    and see if it will turn her back to normal.
[20:30] ---
    But I can't even get close to her like this.
[20:33] ---
    I see,
[20:34] ---
    so that's the situation.
[20:37] ---
    All right, leave that to me.
[20:39] ---
    Huh?
[20:49] ---
    Super...
[20:51] ---
    ...Amazing...
[20:53] ---
    ...Punch!
[21:03] ---
    Awesome--
[21:05] ---
    Now's your chance!
[21:06] ---
    No, no, no, no! Just a second,
    just a second, just a--
[21:08] ---
    Off you go!
[21:19] ---
    Ah, what the hell...
[21:28] ---
    Wait, how am I supposed to land?!
[21:40] ---
    Huh?
[21:50] ---
    Found you...
[21:52] ---
    ...Kihara Gensei.
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    My goodness, things certainly
    have taken a strange turn.
[23:26] ---

    "#12 Exterior"
[23:28] ---
    I would like to question
    Shokuho a little bit more,
[23:31] ---
    but at the moment, Kozaku Misaki comes first.
[23:32] ---
    My, how resolute you are, Miss Shirai.
    You're looking pretty good.
[23:36] ---
    Could I ask you to please stop
    speaking directly into my mind?
[23:41] ---

[00:09] ---
    Super...
[00:11] ---
    ...Amazing...
[00:14] ---
    ...Punch!
[00:23] ---
    Awesome--
[00:25] ---
    Now's your chance!
[00:26] ---
    --No, no, no, no! Just a second,
    just a second, just a--
[00:29] ---
    --Off you go!
    --No, no, no, no! Just a second,
    just a second, just a--
[00:40] ---
    Ah, what the hell...
[00:49] ---
    Wait, how am I supposed to land?!
[01:00] ---
    Um...
[01:01] ---
    ...th-thank you... Although it was also
    because of you that I had that close call.
[01:06] ---
    Well?
[01:07] ---
    No good. It's like there's a power
    I don't quite understand
[01:11] ---
    that keeps coming in from the outside,
    and I can't cancel it all.
[01:13] ---
    It worked for a second where I did touch her
[01:16] ---
    but went back again right after.
[01:17] ---
    So, what do we do?
[01:19] ---
    There's someone else who's trying
    to turn her back to normal... apparently.
[01:24] ---
    I don't know who it is, though.
[01:27] ---
    But until she can shut down
    this power at the source,
[01:29] ---
    all we can do is slow her down.
[01:32] ---
    From what this person was saying,
[01:34] ---
    having me near her is supposed
    to keep her transformation under control.
[01:59] ---
    Hey, looks like things are still changing.
[02:01] ---
    Well,
[02:02] ---
    --I meant slow her down, not stop her--
    --What is it she's trying to do--
[02:14] ---
    S-Sogiita!
[02:20] ---
    That was pathetic. I let my guard down.
[02:23] ---
    Y-You're all right? If you're unhurt after that,
    then just how strong are you...?
[02:28] ---
    Looks like I'm gonna have
    to put some more guts into this.
[02:36] ---
    What Kihara Gensei is after--
[02:38] ---
    what made that puppet try
    to capture me, rather than kill me--
[02:43] ---
    has to be some new information
    that's come up that he wants from me.
[02:47] ---
    And more than likely,
[02:50] ---
    it's the limiter release code for Exterior.
[03:09] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[04:30] ---
    Where is her camera?
[04:32] ---
    There it is!
[04:36] ---
    If the data in the Bank is correct,
[04:38] ---
    Kozaku's puppets do not
    have any kind of sight organs.
[04:42] ---
    She senses her surroundings...
[04:45] ---
    ...using echolocation, the way a bat does.
[04:49] ---
    Her sensitivity is sharp enough
[04:51] ---
    to pick up even a heartbeat
    within a few dozen meters.
[04:54] ---
    The camera is ultimately
    nothing more than an auxiliary.
[04:56] ---
    Which calls for...
[05:02] ---
    ...the portable anti-eavesdropping
    devices I have for security.
[05:06] ---
    I have now deprived Kozaku of both
    her eyes and ears, at least momentarily.
[05:10] ---
    And during that time...
[05:13] ---
    Good heavens,
[05:14] ---
    Shokuho really is the cautious sort.
[05:18] ---
    She hasn't left anything here on
    how to unlock the limiter on Exterior.
[05:24] ---
    What a wild goose chase this is.
[05:27] ---
    Sure enough, it's just as I thought.
[05:31] ---
    To be able to accurately control
    Miss Misaka in that condition,
[05:35] ---
    he must need more
    than Exterior's current output.
[05:39] ---
    That's why he has to unlock the limiter.
[05:45] ---
    None of the major function codes
    for Exterior remain on external memory;
[05:50] ---
    they're all implanted in my brain alone.
[05:53] ---
    And the key to its defense is covertness--
[05:57] ---
    not letting anyone on
    the outside know it even exists.
[06:00] ---
    But I do have measures in place,
    just in case something like this happens.
[06:06] ---
    Wha--?
[06:12] ---
    This building and the ones around it
[06:14] ---
    have a security system unlike any normal kind,
[06:17] ---
    including having multiple stand-alone
    traps set that only I can activate.
[06:22] ---
    Things would sure be easy
    if he just goes to sleep.
[06:32] ---
    Multiskill. I don't have 10,000 others
    behind it, like Kiyama did, though.
[06:38] ---
    But I do have a number of
    interesting people that I've kidnapped--
[06:40] ---
    I mean, secured--and borrowed their powers.
[06:45] ---
    Don't tell me you didn't anticipate me doing so.
[06:49] ---
    Rats.
[06:50] ---
    That is one despicable old man.
[06:54] ---
    But this isn't over yet.
[06:56] ---
    If sleeping gas won't work, then...
[07:01] ---
    No soap.
[07:04] ---
    Mind if I ask you something?
[07:07] ---
    What is it?
[07:09] ---
    As I recall,
[07:10] ---
    you concluded that the only esper
    who had what it takes to reach Level 6
[07:13] ---
    was the first-ranked, wasn't it?
[07:18] ---
    Mm-hmm, at present, he is the only one
    who can achieve a stable Level 6.
[07:25] ---
    Stable?
[07:27] ---
    Right now, the state Misaka is in
[07:29] ---
    is making her power run out of control
[07:31] ---
    to steamroll her into approaching Level 6.
[07:35] ---
    If she keeps going like this,
    then theoretically,
[07:37] ---
    when she reaches 53 percent completion,
[07:41] ---
    her mind will transform into
    an other-dimensional entity.
[07:45] ---
    And, after that,
    we'll need the limiter unlock code
[07:49] ---
    to keep her enmeshed in our world. And then...
[07:54] ---
    ...the moment she reaches
    100 percent and Level 6,
[07:59] ---
    her mind and body will
    both be strained to the limit,
[08:02] ---
    and the way I see it,
    she will come apart as an individual.
[08:11] ---
    In other words,
    Misaka cannot attain a stable Level 6.
[08:17] ---
    At the cost of losing everything, for a moment--
[08:21] ---
    even shorter than the blink of an eye,
[08:24] ---
    she will be permitted a glimpse
    of the realm of gods. As a result,
[08:30] ---
    she will either wither away like
    an ill-defined white dwarf star, or...
[08:37] ---
    ...she will burst like a supernova,
[08:39] ---
    with enough force to open
    a doorway to a new world.
[08:44] ---
    And whatever the outcome,
    what is certain is that something will happen
[08:48] ---
    that will be big enough
    to wipe this city off the map.
[08:54] ---
    If Academy City gets blown away,
[08:56] ---
    you'll be caught in the middle of it, too.
    Do you even realize what you're saying?
[09:10] ---
    Me, get caught in the middle of it?
    What are you talking about?
[09:15] ---
    The advancement of science requires sacrifice.
[09:19] ---
    This is why I hate dealing
    with people who are short on sanity.
[09:25] ---
    Making use of this "clairvoyance"
    business is surprisingly inconvenient.
[09:30] ---
    I may be able to filter out the obstacles,
[09:32] ---
    but if I can't narrow down
    the range and direction just right,
[09:34] ---
    I can't get a line on my target.
[09:37] ---
    It's eaten up a whole
    lot of my time as a result.
[09:42] ---
    Now,
[09:43] ---
    even if I were to use
    Mental Out to read your memories,
[09:46] ---
    you could just use the same ability
    to block my intrusion into your brain.
[09:51] ---
    However, if I drive you into a state
    where you can't use your ability,
[09:56] ---
    such as inflicting an intolerable
    level of pain, or knocking you out,
[10:00] ---
    it will be possible to get though.
[10:05] ---
    My breath... the air...!
[10:07] ---
    Shokuho, you're a delicate one,
    so I'm hoping you'll give in quickly.
[10:12] ---
    And Misaka must be coming along, as well.
[10:16] ---
    Wh-Whoo! I had anticipated
    some interference from Kamijo,
[10:21] ---
    but I wouldn't have dreamed
    that Sogiita would join in, as well!
[10:25] ---
    In addition to the stimulus of Imagine Breaker,
[10:28] ---
    I now have the extraordinary power
    of the seventh-ranked!
[10:30] ---
    It's a sight to behold as exceptional
    as dividing the universe by zero!
[10:33] ---
    If Misaka were to be multiplied by
    the both of them, how great would that be?!
[10:37] ---
    I can't stick around here! I have
    to rally all of the analytical espers
[10:40] ---
    and the equipment I have on hand to observe--
[10:43] ---
    O-Oh, no!
[10:46] ---
    What is he, an idiot?
[10:48] ---
    Whatever, from what
    I heard of the idiot's commentary,
[10:52] ---
    as long as I can keep
    the limiter unlock code safe,
[10:55] ---
    then Academy City will be saved,
    with Miss Misaka being the only casualty.
[11:03] ---
    I won't forget you for at least a week.
[11:10] ---
    Well, if that's what happens,
    there's nothing I can do about it.
[11:14] ---
    I doubt he's going to
    let me off that easily, though.
[11:18] ---
    Good grief, if Mental Out were
    his only ability, I could deal with him.
[11:24] ---
    What am I supposed to do with an
    old coot who cheats by using Multiskill?
[11:30] ---
    My own private system can
    only buy me time at this point.
[11:40] ---
    Graviton panels...?
[11:41] ---
    "#12 Exterior"
[12:01] ---
    It looks like I was wrong.
[12:04] ---
    It really is taking too
    much time to search blindly.
[12:08] ---
    I need some kind of lead.
[12:10] ---
    Found her!
[12:13] ---
    This person is Kozaku, right?
[12:17] ---
    Miss Saten located the suspect on video.
[12:20] ---
    Forwarding you the information.
    The timestamp is three minutes ago.
[12:23] ---
    She hasn't shown up
    on any other surveillance cameras,
[12:26] ---
    so I can determine
    which building she is hiding in!
[12:28] ---
    On my way!
[12:32] ---
    She's coming straight this way?
    Ah, the surveillance cameras!
[12:37] ---
    Are those guys only covering their own tracks?!
[12:49] ---
    You are sure that she has not
    shown up on any other cameras, right?
[12:52] ---
    Mm-hmm. She hasn't shown up anywhere.
[12:55] ---
    If she were trying
    to move to a different building,
[12:57] ---
    she would be sure to show up
    on surveillance cameras.
[13:02] ---
    In there...
[13:06] ---
    Uiharu, fix all of the nearby movable
    cameras on the target building!
[13:10] ---
    Right!
[13:18] ---
    At the rate she's going,
    she's sure to catch her, huh?
[13:21] ---
    P-Please focus.
[13:23] ---
    The computer detects anything
    that moves and lets us know, right?
[13:29] ---
    What the...?
[13:30] ---
    What is it? Did you find something?
[13:31] ---
    Miss Saten, be quiet!
[13:33] ---
    Oh, right.
[13:35] ---
    Ah, there she is!
[13:37] ---
    The sewer pipe?!
[13:38] ---
    Miss Shirai, the puppet is
    heading your way at incredible speed!
[13:45] ---
    There is no question, then?
[13:47] ---
    Is she having her puppet destroy
    the surveillance cameras?
[13:50] ---
    True, we cannot have
    her knocking the cameras out
[13:53] ---
    and getting away in a blind spot.
[13:55] ---
    However, all of the directional cameras
    in the area are trained on this building.
[14:00] ---
    She would need a lot of time to take out
    enough of them to secure a blind spot.
[14:05] ---
    I have to end this before that happens.
[14:11] ---
    Kozaku's objective is not the
    camera network, but eliminating me?
[14:15] ---
    I could not ask for more!
[14:17] ---
    I will take advantage of her impatience...
[14:20] ---
    ...and run her down even farther!
[14:24] ---
    Now that I know her ability
    and how to counter it,
[14:27] ---
    the threat her puppet poses is...
[14:36] ---
    Ow!
[14:37] ---
    What's the matter, Miss Shirai? Did something--
[14:39] ---
    I messed up.
[14:41] ---
    I caught a bit of her counteroffensive.
[14:44] ---
    Huh? Are you all right?
[14:46] ---
    It is not a big deal.
[14:50] ---
    She only grazed my side,
[14:52] ---
    but the one on my arm went a lot deeper.
[14:55] ---
    And here my wounds from earlier
    had finally started to heal, too!
[14:58] ---
    I'm supposed to be saving
    this body for when I get married!
[15:02] ---
    Still,
[15:03] ---
    now I am certain.
    Kozaku really is here. Moreover...
[15:09] ---
    ...she is on the upper floors.
[15:12] ---
    The attack I just took found me,
[15:15] ---
    despite my anti-listening
    devices still being operational.
[15:19] ---
    Which means that Kozaku herself saw me.
[15:24] ---
    Further, the attack came all in one line.
    She was trying to catch me linearly.
[15:29] ---
    It is likely that since
    she was watching from above,
[15:31] ---
    she could not determine my precise location
[15:33] ---
    and had no choice but to split her attacks.
[15:39] ---
    If I come at her from below,
    she has nowhere to run.
[15:42] ---
    It is only a matter of time
    before I catch her in person.
[15:45] ---
    Still, something has felt slightly out of place.
[15:50] ---
    Like there is something
    that I have overlooked...
[16:02] ---
    Ah, Shokuho!
[16:06] ---
    Hey...
[16:07] ---
    ...forgive me for getting so excited earlier.
    I should act my age.
[16:12] ---
    One of my shortcomings is that
    when I see something I'm not expecting,
[16:15] ---
    I tend to become blinded to
    everything else around me, you see.
[16:19] ---
    I've nearly died because of it, many times.
[16:22] ---
    Then why couldn't you have
    just died and be done with it?
[16:25] ---
    But this is unexpected.
[16:28] ---
    Having you standing there, waiting for me?
[16:32] ---
    I was certain you'd be running away.
[16:35] ---
    I doubt I could get away from you,
    with your clairvoyance.
[16:40] ---
    If you catch me outside the building,
[16:42] ---
    I'd be completely exposed,
    without any of my security.
[16:46] ---
    So I came to make a deal.
[16:49] ---
    What kind of deal?
[16:51] ---
    I'll tell you what the limiter unlock code is,
[16:55] ---
    and you'll let me go.
[16:57] ---
    Ho...?
[16:58] ---
    After thinking about it, it doesn't matter
    to me what happens to Miss Misaka.
[17:02] ---
    And if Academy City is
    getting blown off the map,
[17:05] ---
    I'm going to get out of here first.
[17:08] ---
    I was waiting here because
    I didn't want to run around for nothing,
[17:11] ---
    and use up all the time I have to get away.
[17:14] ---
    Hmm, that makes sense.
[17:17] ---
    Good, almost there...
[17:19] ---
    But there's nothing in
    that deal for me, is there?
[17:24] ---
    My Mental Out doesn't work on you.
[17:28] ---
    And if it weren't for my ability,
[17:30] ---
    I'd just be an ordinary adorable
    knockout beauty with a smoking figure.
[17:36] ---
    Or do you have a thing
    for hurting delicate girls like me?
[17:39] ---
    --Four more steps...
    --Not a shriveled-up old man like yourself, right?
[17:42] ---
    --Three more steps...
    --Not a shriveled-up old man like yourself, right?
[17:44] ---
    Two more steps...
[17:47] ---
    My ultra-high-power-oscillator-embedded
    trap, the "Hag's Hug."
[17:51] ---
    Once you step on it, you're finished.
[17:55] ---
    The vibrations that shoot up through the foot
[17:57] ---
    reverberate and become amplified
    as they move throughout the body,
[18:01] ---
    converging up at your head!
[18:03] ---
    Not only does it destroy
    your ears' semicircular canals,
[18:05] ---
    it gives your brain a good shake!
[18:09] ---
    One more st--
[18:13] ---
    To be sure, if I get my hands
    on the limiter unlock code,
[18:17] ---
    I won't have any need for you anymore.
[18:20] ---
    But there is one thing that concerns me.
[18:22] ---
    You've been staring
    pretty intensely at this spot.
[18:26] ---
    Is there something here?
[18:29] ---
    You knew...!
[18:33] ---
    Yeah, as if.
[18:36] ---
    That was a decoy!
[18:37] ---
    The real trap was
    under your feet the whole time!
[18:40] ---
    Graviton panels.
[18:42] ---
    Normally, they are here
    to create my own private shortcut,
[18:47] ---
    but today, I had them impersonating
    the floor from the get-go.
[18:50] ---
    Now you'll be stuck in between there...
[18:56] ---
    Are his feet exploding?
[18:59] ---
    No, he's compressing the air
    under his feet into footholds.
[19:02] ---
    Earlier, when he tried to choke me
    and turned aside those flames...
[19:07] ---
    He has the Aero Shooter ability, all right!
[19:30] ---
    I can't possibly spend any more time on you.
[19:35] ---
    You won't get away from me.
[19:38] ---
    Right now, I'm going to...
[19:52] ---
    How do you like that?
[19:53] ---
    I've set many layers of traps.
    This is the one I've been saving.
[19:59] ---
    They compress slowly,
    so I had to catch you off your guard,
[20:03] ---
    but graviton panels also have this application.
[20:07] ---
    The technology was developed
    as scaffolding for construction work,
[20:12] ---
    but they can also be deployed to crush
    the spindly arms of old men, too.
[20:17] ---
    With all that intense pain,
[20:19] ---
    will you be able to defend
    against my Mental Out?
[20:23] ---
    Huh?
[20:35] ---
    Wow, you're so mean.
[20:37] ---
    Imagine, picking on a frail,
    little old man like this!
[20:42] ---
    Although, I'd have to have
    a wrist for you to crush it.
[20:48] ---
    A p-prosthetic...?
[20:50] ---
    Didn't I tell you?
[20:52] ---
    My experiments have nearly killed me many times.
[20:55] ---
    My whole body is like a trade fair
    for replacement technology.
[21:00] ---
    Though, I more or less predicted
    what you were after even before this.
[21:10] ---
    Someone who is pretending
    to run away but still has some ploy
[21:13] ---
    displays telltale signs of what they're after.
[21:16] ---
    I don't let those hints that they're
    about to turn the tables go unnoticed.
[21:20] ---
    Which is exactly why I can tell
    just by looking at you now...
[21:27] ---
    ...that you have nothing up
    your sleeve to reverse this situation.
[21:48] ---
    The limiter unlock code...
[21:51] ---
    ...is mine.

[23:26] ---
    Sure, I should already be on top of
    Kozaku Mitori, but I cannot reach her.
[23:30] ---
    What feels so out of place, here?
[23:32] ---
    No matter, I will still find her,
    whatever it takes.

[00:01] ---
    Previously, on A Certain Scientific Railgun T...
[00:04] ---
    I am Shirai Kuroko. I am a member of Judgment,
[00:08] ---
    which works to keep the peace in Academy City.
[00:10] ---
    Currently, Academy City is in the middle
    of a huge event, the Daihasei Festival.
[00:14] ---
    While it was going on, I was walking along
    with my friends Uiharu and Saten
[00:18] ---
    when suddenly, we were stopped.
[00:20] ---
    Standing there was
    Academy City's third-ranked Level 5,
[00:24] ---
    Railgun, or Misaka Mikoto.
    Though we both attend Tokiwadai Middle School,
[00:30] ---
    she casually called out to me
    when we are not even acquainted.
[00:33] ---
    Who exactly does she think she is?!
[00:35] ---
    However, later on,
    Saten started to say something peculiar.
[00:39] ---
    She suggested that perhaps
    Misaka Mikoto and the rest of us
[00:42] ---
    were actually friends going way back.
[00:45] ---
    And that another Level 5
    at Tokiwadai Middle School,
[00:47] ---
    Mental Out, or Shokuho Misaki,
    was actually controlling us.
[00:52] ---
    Honestly, could there be a
    more ridiculous hypothesis?
[00:56] ---
    However, at that same moment, an incident arose
[01:01] ---
    where Uiharu and Misaka Mikoto's
    mother were both taken hostage.
[01:04] ---
    The sight of Misaka Mikoto's
    smile at that moment,
[01:06] ---
    as though she had complete trust in me...
[01:10] ---
    It is burned into my eyes,
    and I cannot shake it.
[01:13] ---
    Just thinking about it makes
    my chest grow warmer--
[01:16] ---
    But that does not matter!
[01:18] ---
    Misaka Mikoto said she
    was going after Shokuho Misaki,
[01:21] ---
    who apparently knows something
    about what is happening, and left.
[01:25] ---
    Uiharu and I began an investigation
    into the hostage-taker, Kozaku Mitori.
[01:31] ---
    Just then, Saten came bursting in
    with some new information.
[01:35] ---
    She had gone off on her own
    and snuck into a factory,
[01:38] ---
    and said she was assaulted by
    a metal puppet controlled by Kozaku Mitori.
[01:42] ---
    That girl really does do
    the most reckless things!
[01:45] ---
    Fortunately, one of Kozaku Mitori's
    associates, a girl named Xóchitl,
[01:49] ---
    came to her rescue for some reason.
    From what that girl said,
[01:54] ---
    the true target of the plan that
    Kozaku Mitori was moving forward
[01:57] ---
    was Misaka Mikoto!
[02:00] ---
    What was going on here?
[02:01] ---
    But at that very moment, the skies clouded over,
[02:04] ---
    and lighting struck a certain building.
[02:07] ---
    The sight that greeted me
    when I dashed over there
[02:10] ---
    was Kozaku Mitori's metal puppet
    attacking Shokuho Misaki.
[02:13] ---
    I took the man who was there,
[02:15] ---
    along with a girl who resembled
    Misaka Mikoto, to a safe place.
[02:19] ---
    I also rescued Shokuho,
    but when I tried to ask her what was going on,
[02:24] ---
    and why Misaka Mikoto
    and herself were involved in it,
[02:28] ---
    she instead used her ability to transmit
    the information directly into my brain.
[02:35] ---
    According to it, the ringleader behind the plan
    was a mad scientist named Kihara Gensei.
[02:40] ---
    He had taken control of a
    giant facility that housed Exterior,
[02:44] ---
    which allowed him to use
    the same ability that Shokuho has,
[02:47] ---
    and was apparently using its power
    to propel Misaka Mikoto to Level 6.
[02:53] ---
    From what Shokuho says,
    Kozaku Mitori was an inductor
[02:56] ---
    that would lead Misaka Mikoto to reach Level 6.
[03:00] ---
    An important element in stopping
    Misaka Mikoto would be to neutralize her.
[03:06] ---
    Incidentally, Shokuho Misaki
    anticipated Kihara Gensei coming to her
[03:10] ---
    to learn Exterior's limiter unlock code,
    which only she knew,
[03:14] ---
    and set all kinds of traps to stop him.
    I hope that works out for her.
[03:20] ---
    Beyond that, there are a couple of boys outside
[03:22] ---
    who are doing something
    to cause all kinds of commotion.
[03:26] ---
    Are they trying to stop the runaway
    Misaka Mikoto, or what are they doing?
[03:31] ---
    Well, I am sure that they must be
    playing some important role, as well.
[03:35] ---
    In any event, what I must do is locate
    Kozaku Mitori and take her into custody.
[03:40] ---
    Even if peril is waiting for me,
[03:42] ---
    as a member of Judgment,
    I will save Academy City!
[03:53] ---
    Someone who is pretending
    to run away but still has some ploy
[03:57] ---
    displays telltale signs of what they're after.
[04:00] ---
    I don't let those hints that they're
    about to turn the tables go unnoticed.
[04:03] ---
    Which is exactly why I can tell
    just by looking at you now...
[04:10] ---
    ...that you have nothing up
    your sleeve to reverse this situation.
[04:32] ---
    The limiter unlock code...
[04:34] ---
    ...is mine.
[04:49] ---
    Damn!
[05:02] ---
    Whew, I can't wait to see this.
[05:05] ---
    What exactly will happen
    to Academy City at that moment?
[05:10] ---
    But then, I don't suppose
    you will be alive that long.
[05:35] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[06:52] ---
    Not here.
[06:56] ---
    Not here.
[07:00] ---
    Not here, either.
[07:01] ---
    Where is Kozaku Mitori?
[07:05] ---
    I destroyed her puppet's camera at the start
[07:07] ---
    and rendered her echolocation
    unusable with my anti-listening devices.
[07:11] ---
    I've covered her puppet's
    eyes and ears. And yet...
[07:16] ---
    ...her puppet knew my exact location
    and attacked me.
[07:21] ---
    Judging from her actions,
    I guessed that Kozaku Mitori herself
[07:24] ---
    was watching me from the upper floors.
[07:30] ---
    But if I have looked this much
    and still have not found her...
[07:34] ---
    There must be something that I have overlooked.
[07:41] ---
    Do you think Shirai's injuries
    really aren't that bad?
[07:45] ---
    Going by all of our cases up to now,
    no, she may not be all right.
[07:49] ---
    No, huh? We can't tell what's going on
    without being able to see inside.
[07:55] ---
    Is that a relay camera from the festival?
[07:58] ---
    There's one here, too. But why?
    There aren't any competitions here.
[08:02] ---
    They flew in a little while ago.
[08:04] ---
    You were so focused on
    the building you didn't notice them.
[08:11] ---
    Antiskill must have sent them in
[08:12] ---
    to see if there was anyone
    who hasn't evacuated yet.
[08:16] ---
    Looks like the EM waves at
    the heart of electrical phenomenon
[08:19] ---
    are too strong for them to get near there.
[08:21] ---
    I've got it, Uiharu! Let's borrow those cameras!
[08:24] ---
    We'll be able to tell what's
    happening in the building,
[08:26] ---
    and we'll be able to help out Shirai.
[08:30] ---
    That's a great idea, coming from you!
[08:32] ---
    I'll start hacking--I mean,
    accessing them right away
[08:35] ---
    and transfer command over to me...
[08:38] ---
    Miss Saten, when did these cameras go in there?!
[08:41] ---
    Huh? Like I said,
    when Shirai entered the building.
[08:47] ---
    Miss Shirai!
[08:48] ---
    I'm just saying,
    this is only a possibility, but...
[08:54] ---
    Not only did she dig up
    who I am in this short a time,
[08:57] ---
    but she also had countermeasures
    to shut down my echolocation on hand.
[09:02] ---
    I'm impressed.
[09:04] ---
    On the other hand, luck is still on my side.
[09:07] ---
    I've seized control of a
    festival relay camera being used
[09:10] ---
    to direct the evacuation
    and succeeded in hacking it.
[09:14] ---
    Using it, I've gained the means
    to control my Liquid Shadow.
[09:19] ---
    Even without echolocation,
    I still have eyes on the tactical situation.
[09:25] ---
    Oh, go ahead and search around all you like.
[09:41] ---
    That is the last place.
[09:47] ---
    Those were all of the places
    where she could hide herself.
[09:51] ---
    Even supposing we crossed paths,
[09:53] ---
    the motion sensor sheets I placed in
    key locations would have picked her up.
[09:58] ---
    Was it all for nothing?
[10:03] ---
    Supposing what Shokuho said is true,
[10:06] ---
    then if we are to return Miss Misaka to normal,
[10:08] ---
    we must neutralize Kozaku as soon as possible.
[10:12] ---
    And yet, I...
[10:17] ---
    No...
[10:19] ---
    Even assuming I have this completely wrong,
[10:21] ---
    Kozaku would still not be so
    relentless in coming after me. In fact...
[10:28] ---
    ...she would be concealing
    the fact that she is not here.
[10:32] ---
    It is time to calmly reassess the facts.
[10:34] ---
    If she is not lying in wait here,
[10:36] ---
    then where exactly is she?
[10:38] ---
    The surveillance cameras caught Kozaku
[10:40] ---
    going onto the street in front of the building.
[10:43] ---
    Meanwhile, there has been no
    sight of Kozaku on the cameras since.
[10:49] ---
    This is the only building
    in which she could be hiding.
[10:54] ---
    The only... "building"...
[11:09] ---
    That won't work!
    I can tell exactly where you are!
[11:16] ---
    I'll drive her into a corner such
    that she'll have no choice but to teleport!
[11:20] ---
    It's possible that she
    could jump to another floor,
[11:23] ---
    but as long as she doesn't
    know exactly where I am,
[11:26] ---
    she's going to want to jump into
    a safe space that she can see.
[11:32] ---
    When she uses her
    ability consecutively like this,
[11:34] ---
    I've identified that it creates a brief lag.
[11:38] ---
    If I can predict where she's moving to
    and catch her at that instant...
[11:42] ---
    There!
[11:48] ---
    Did I get her?
[12:09] ---
    Sorry about that,
[12:11] ---
    but if you hadn't interfered,
    I wouldn't have killed you.
[12:15] ---
    Then again, if Academy City
    is about to be destroyed,
[12:20] ---
    you would have met
    the same fate later than sooner.
[12:23] ---
    You're just going on ahead
    before the rest of us.
[12:26] ---
    There it is!
[12:30] ---
    Sogiita!
[12:49] ---
    It's working!
[12:50] ---
    I'm sure this will...
[13:01] ---
    Ho, we're already at the unlock stage, are we?
[13:05] ---
    It looks like I don't have
    a single moment to spare.
[13:11] ---
    Inputting the limiter unlock code
    I got from Shokuho into Exterior...
[13:19] ---
    Input complete.
[13:39] ---
    The city may be wiped out
    once Mikoto reaches Level 6,
[13:44] ---
    but I have to make sure that you,
    at least, get blown away!
[13:49] ---
    You can apologize to her in
    the next life! Go ahead and pop!
[14:05] ---
    "#13 SYSTEM
    (Those Who Arrive at Heaven's Will
    in an Only Human Body)"
[14:06] ---
    I found you!
[14:18] ---
    So...
[14:19] ---
    ...you were in the sewers after all.
[14:22] ---
    Indeed, you were seen on
    the street in front of the building,
[14:24] ---
    but you were not inside.
[14:26] ---
    So I knew that you must have gone in here.
[14:30] ---
    H-How are you alive?
    No, you're still here on the camera...!
[14:37] ---
    A composite?
[14:38] ---
    From that moment on?
[14:40] ---
    Impossible! There are tens
    of thousands of relay cameras!
[14:43] ---
    Are you saying you singled out
    the one under my control and took it over?!
[14:48] ---
    I have the best partner, who can do just that.
[14:53] ---
    Good work.
[14:55] ---
    There is nowhere left for you to run.
[14:58] ---
    My Liquid Shadow is still aboveground.
[15:00] ---
    There's not enough time
    to call it back here! But...!
[15:03] ---
    It is so dark. I have to get closer,
    or I cannot precisely judge the distance!
[15:07] ---
    Hiding myself wasn't the only reason
    why I fled into the sewer.
[15:11] ---
    It was to be ready, in the off-chance
    that you caught up with me!
[15:15] ---
    Aboveground, you can jump
    around just about anywhere,
[15:18] ---
    but down here, your movements
    are limited to one straight line!
[15:22] ---
    When you teleport away to avoid my first knife,
[15:25] ---
    my second knife will get you
    wherever you jump to!
[15:27] ---
    Forward? To the side? Up?
    No matter where you run...
[15:32] ---
    ...I will take you down that instant!
[15:38] ---
    She didn't teleport?!
[15:40] ---
    Oh, no, I'm too slow--
[15:57] ---
    Dolly...
[16:34] ---
    I see... making me think...
    that you had no further plan remaining...
[16:43] ---
    ...was itself your plan, then...
[16:48] ---
    I guess...
[16:51] ---
    ...you win this round...
[17:01] ---
    Huh...?
[17:12] ---
    Graviton panels... What if I used
    these to create a pitfall trap?
[17:18] ---
    Or maybe use them to capture Gensei directly?
[17:23] ---
    Hmm, would these really
    be enough to snare Gensei? No,
[17:29] ---
    it could prove difficult to one-up
    that old coot with trickery.
[17:33] ---
    Not when he's taken over Exterior.
[17:37] ---
    You know, maybe I don't need it anymore.
[17:42] ---
    I've thought this for a while,
[17:44] ---
    but in return for the trouble of keeping
    this hidden, and the cost of its upkeep,
[17:48] ---
    not to mention having it taken over,
    like right now, just for a boost in ability...
[17:52] ---
    ...has more going against it
    than for it, doesn't it? Besides,
[17:56] ---
    with a disturbance as big as this one,
[17:58] ---
    other organizations will find out about it.
[18:03] ---
    But then, how am I supposed to decommission it?
[18:07] ---
    It's designed to withstand
    five times the seismic force
[18:10] ---
    of the greatest earthquake ever recorded.
[18:13] ---
    More immediately,
    if I don't go about it just right,
[18:15] ---
    any damage to the giant brain could
    bounce back onto the Mental Out user,
[18:19] ---
    leaving them crippled.
[18:22] ---
    To circumvent that damage,
    I would have to input the self-destruct code.
[18:29] ---
    But Gensei currently has
    the access privileges to Exterior.
[18:34] ---
    If I'm going to steal those privileges back,
[18:36] ---
    I'll have to undo his Level Upper first.
[18:39] ---
    But if I could do that,
    this would be all too easy.
[18:43] ---
    What if, instead, I could manipulate Gensei
[18:45] ---
    into entering the self-destruct code himself...
[18:48] ---
    But I've got the cart before the horse again.
[18:52] ---
    No...
[18:53] ---
    I can do it!
[18:59] ---
    Still... the risk is more than a little bit high.
[19:03] ---
    If he sees through it,
    then naturally, it's game over.
[19:06] ---
    And even if it does work,
[19:07] ---
    once I'm no longer of any use to him,
    he might dispose of me first.
[19:13] ---
    It doesn't matter to me
    what happens to Miss Misaka...
[19:17] ---
    ...but there's no guarantee that the virus
    that was injected into the Sisters
[19:20] ---
    can be treated by the research facilities.
[19:23] ---
    And in order to understand
    the virus's configuration,
[19:26] ---
    I'd have to take a peek inside Gensei's head.
[19:31] ---
    What's more, if I miss this chance
    to catch Gensei, I won't get another.
[19:55] ---
    It's a gamble...
[19:59] ---
    So even after pursuing victory
    to the very last second,
[20:04] ---
    I have to wager that I'll lose, then?
[20:10] ---
    After swapping my own recognition
[20:12] ---
    of which is the limiter unlock code
    and which is the self-destruct code,
[20:15] ---
    I have to erase all memory of doing so.
[20:20] ---
    So, it looks like you up and entered
    the self-destruct code into Exterior, huh?
[20:28] ---
    Leave it to me, I guess you might say...
[20:32] ---
    I don't remember doing it, though.
[20:45] ---
    Is she... changing?
[20:48] ---
    Does that mean what's-her-name
    shut off the power at the source?
[21:03] ---
    What was I...?
[21:10] ---
    What... is that...?
[21:13] ---
    What's going on?!
[21:15] ---
    No! Stop! Please!
[21:20] ---
    It won't stop!
[21:22] ---
    What's happening?!
[21:30] ---
    I can't...
[21:32] ---
    ...hold it back...!
[21:49] ---
    This...
[21:51] ---
    ...isn't over yet, apparently.
[23:24] ---

[00:15] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[01:49] ---
    While you're still alive,
[01:50] ---
    I'll be taking the data on
    that virus you injected the girl with.
[01:57] ---
    Right... That girl...
[02:06] ---
    I do not have nearly enough
    strength left to teleport her away right now.
[02:10] ---
    I see no choice but to contact Uiharu
    and request someone to pick her up.
[02:17] ---
    I wonder how Miss Misaka is doing.
[02:27] ---
    Don't do it.
[02:29] ---
    Sogiita? You can still move?
[02:32] ---
    No problem. If I put my guts into it,
    I can stop my bleeding
[02:36] ---
    and get my bones to stick together.
    But never mind me,
[02:39] ---
    you were about to charge in there, weren't you?
[02:42] ---
    There's something different about her now.
[02:46] ---
    Maybe whatever the girl who put
    this data inside my head was planning
[02:49] ---
    worked out all right.
[02:51] ---
    Are you sure? I can't tell either way.
[02:55] ---
    Even so, it doesn't look like
    she can control all that power.
[03:00] ---
    Which is why...
[03:00] ---
    I don't know what your right hand is made of,
[03:04] ---
    but that all over there is a whole lot
    more trouble than it was a moment ago.
[03:07] ---
    It felt more like it was a
    mass of compressed energy earlier,
[03:12] ---
    but that looks like something
    from another world now,
[03:15] ---
    something literally beyond our understanding.
[03:19] ---
    Let me deal with this.
    I may be able to risk my neck
[03:22] ---
    to do a self-destruct move that will smother it.
[03:24] ---
    No.
[03:26] ---
    Like I said earlier, I know her.
    I want to be the one who does this for her.
[03:32] ---
    Yeah, but...
[03:33] ---
    I may not be strong enough, like you say,
[03:37] ---
    and I don't really have
    a handle on this situation,
[03:39] ---
    so I can't say for sure that this is
    the best move. But ultimately, I mean...
[03:45] ---
    I'll just have to make up
    for whatever I'm lacking with guts.
[03:48] ---
    Am I right?
[03:52] ---
    You really are a fascinating one, huh?
[03:55] ---
    That's that, then.
[04:03] ---
    Go lay some smack down!
[04:10] ---
    A path...!
[04:11] ---
    Go!
[04:21] ---
    Behave...
[04:24] ---
    ...your damn self!
[04:36] ---
    What is this? This isn't my ability!
[04:40] ---
    This must be...
[04:42] ---
    Oh, no. If this gets unleashed, it will do
    a lot more than blow Academy City away!
[04:49] ---
    There's no way I can let that happen!
[04:53] ---
    If I can compress it down to a size
    I can cover up with my body,
[04:56] ---
    then blow it up while
    I'm holding it, then maybe...
[05:02] ---
    Him? Don't tell me
    he's thinking of stopping this!
[05:06] ---
    Wait! This isn't my ability!
[05:09] ---
    This is something my mind
    conjured up that wants to smash up...
[05:12] ---
    ...and wipe away everything
    bad about Academy City!
[05:17] ---
    So let me--
[05:20] ---
    No!
[06:47] ---
    I know that there are some really
    lousy facets to Academy City, too.
[06:52] ---
    I also know that there are elites
    controlling things behind the scenes
[06:55] ---
    who you and I can't touch.
[06:58] ---
    But to try to purge those things by force...?
[07:04] ---
    Even supposing you succeed,
[07:06] ---
    I don't think the world
    will end up the way you want it.
[07:10] ---
    You can probably think of others besides me
    who are trying to help you, right?
[07:16] ---
    You just have to change things
    a little at a time with them.
[07:20] ---
    And I'll help you, too, of course.
[07:30] ---
    But your arm! You need a hospital!
[07:35] ---
    Huh?
[07:36] ---
    Huh?!
[07:38] ---
    It works like normal.
[07:40] ---
    What is the deal with your body?
[07:43] ---
    Beats me.
[07:46] ---
    Wow, that was quite a show.
    I never expected dragons to appear.
[07:52] ---
    Awesome guts!
[07:54] ---
    I'd like to take you on sometime.
[07:58] ---
    On the other hand...
[08:00] ---
    What's up with that metal?
[08:03] ---
    Was that there before?
[08:05] ---
    "#14 Dragon Strike
    (Jaw of the Dragon King)"
[08:12] ---
    So, she's all right, then?
[08:15] ---
    Yeah, more or less.
    Not long after she was brought in here,
[08:20] ---
    the data on the virus she
    was injected with was sent here.
[08:24] ---
    I was able to synthesize a vaccine.
[08:28] ---
    It will be a few days
    before she completely recovers,
[08:31] ---
    but she should be as good as new.
[08:33] ---
    Thank goodness.
[08:43] ---
    Um,
[08:45] ---
    I believe one of my friends from Tokiwadai
[08:47] ---
    was brought to this hospital earlier today.
[08:56] ---
    Yes?
[08:59] ---
    Miss Misaka!
[09:04] ---
    Wow, so your sister is in good health?
[09:08] ---
    I am most pleased to hear that.
[09:13] ---
    Is something the matter?
[09:15] ---
    --I'm sorry!
    --Huh?
[09:17] ---
    For dragging you into all this,
    and even getting you hurt...
[09:21] ---
    Simply saying I'm sorry isn't enough...
[09:24] ---
    N-No, I should be the one apologizing
[09:27] ---
    for boasting that I would bring
    your sister back, and ending up like this.
[09:31] ---
    I am pretty pathetic.
[09:33] ---
    Still...
[09:35] ---
    ...it could have been so much worse...
[09:39] ---
    Yes, that is true.
[09:42] ---
    However,
[09:42] ---
    even if that had happened, I can assure you
[09:46] ---
    that I would not have
    regretted any of my own actions.
[09:51] ---
    Miss Kongo...
[09:54] ---
    I am still not a very seasoned person,
[09:58] ---
    so I cannot afford to lay down
    my life for just anyone.
[10:02] ---
    It was because it was my desire
    to relieve you of your anguish
[10:06] ---
    that I can consider it as such.
[10:15] ---
    Do you know the expression
    "Peaches and plums their own paths create"?
[10:18] ---
    Huh?
[10:19] ---
    Though peach and plum blossoms say nothing,
[10:21] ---
    trails spontaneously form beneath them.
[10:24] ---
    Likewise, men of virtue may not say much,
[10:27] ---
    but people naturally beat a path to them.
[10:31] ---
    That's what the expression means.
[10:34] ---
    I cannot say yet that I fully
    appreciate its true meaning,
[10:39] ---
    but by looking up to your character,
[10:42] ---
    I do think that I have become someone
    more compassionate towards others.
[10:49] ---
    I'm not all that great a person.
[10:52] ---
    That is something
    for those around you to decide.
[10:55] ---
    If, on the other hand, you tried
    to play yourself off as someone great,
[10:58] ---
    it would be meaningless
    if those around you did not agree.
[11:02] ---
    I have been all alone, going nowhere,
    trying to do just that, so...
[11:06] ---
    No, that's not true!
[11:09] ---
    Miss Kongo, to me, and to Miss Wannai
    and Miss Awatsuki, you've been, um...
[11:15] ---
    Miss Wannai and Miss Awatsuki?
    Why are you bringing those two up right now?
[11:21] ---
    As it happens, the ones who saved you were...
[11:28] ---
    Oh, I see.
[11:30] ---
    Those two did that for me?
[11:33] ---
    Wh-What do I do, Miss Misaka?
[11:36] ---
    I should feel inconsolable for
    getting those two mixed up in fisticuffs,
[11:43] ---
    and yet, I...
[11:45] ---
    ...cannot help but feel happy about it...
[11:50] ---
    Excuse me...
[11:53] ---
    Visiting hours are now over, so...
[11:56] ---
    Oh, okay.
[11:58] ---
    I'll be back again tomorrow, Miss Kongo.
[12:00] ---
    Right.
[12:02] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[12:05] ---
    I...
[12:07] ---
    ...am truly glad to be a student at Tokiwadai.
[12:12] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[12:22] ---
    "Misaka, would you like to watch
    the fireworks at that spot again tonight?
[12:26] ---
    Uiharu and Shirai and I will
    be coming too. Let's go together!"
[12:43] ---
    The Judgment girl isn't here...
[12:47] ---
    Handcuffs? These are
    meaningless with my ability...
[12:54] ---
    Why bother?
[12:58] ---
    If I'm still alive, it means that
    the project must have failed.
[13:03] ---
    I could just stay here and be rat food...
[13:16] ---
    Shokuho Misaki...?
[13:27] ---
    Misaka!
[13:29] ---
    Over here! Over here!
[13:31] ---
    Sissy!
[13:32] ---
    You've had a long day!
[13:34] ---
    Look at this, Misaka!
[13:37] ---
    Uiharu is having another crazy concoction!
[13:39] ---
    S-Strawberry monja is not a crazy concoction!
[13:42] ---
    You could at least call it quirky!
[13:46] ---
    It is the same thing either way.
[13:48] ---
    Huh?
[13:49] ---
    Uiharu, you'll eat anything
    as long as it has strawberries.
[13:52] ---
    That's not true!
[13:55] ---
    Thanks, everyone.
[13:59] ---
    Did you say something?
[14:02] ---
    Mm-mm.
[14:04] ---
    Ah, would you like a bite?
[14:07] ---
    Mm-mm, no thanks.
[14:10] ---
    Kuroko and the others' memories of me
    that were erased had been put back.
[14:15] ---
    On top of which, the events that happened today
[14:18] ---
    had been altered to make it
    harder for contradictions to arise
[14:21] ---
    and were made out to be the capture of
    a terrorist threatening the festival.
[14:30] ---
    Apparently, my boycott of the
    competition had been rewritten, as well,
[14:35] ---
    but that was not done by Shokuho
    out of consideration for me,
[14:39] ---
    but probably because she herself didn't
    want word of Exterior to be made public.
[14:47] ---
    Nonetheless, it's an undeniable fact
    that her virus was eliminated
[14:50] ---
    as a result of Shokuho's help,
[14:53] ---
    and while I thought she was a despicable
    person--actually, I still think that--
[14:59] ---
    if she has her own brand
    of justice and convictions,
[15:03] ---
    then someday, we may be able
    to meet each other halfway.
[15:07] ---
    That's what I think.
[15:09] ---
    Oh, come to think of it, Misaka,
[15:11] ---
    is your stomach doing all right?
[15:13] ---
    Huh? What's that?
[15:15] ---
    You got sick from some of the
    street stall food and upset your stomach.
[15:18] ---
    You were stuck in the bathroom all day
    and couldn't come out, right?
[15:23] ---
    You intimidated the Shokuho clique
    when they came to get you,
[15:25] ---
    confining yourself to the restroom.
[15:27] ---
    Huh? The restroom?
[15:29] ---
    Unless you're prepared
    to kill me to stop me, then move.
[15:34] ---
    The whole school is abuzz with talk of
    just how urgent things were for you.
[15:41] ---
    Fine. I'll kill you, Shokuho Misaki.
[15:48] ---
    "Daihasei Festival: Day Three"
[15:57] ---
    I'm so dizzy, my ability won't work...
[16:00] ---
    Miss Saten, you're first!
[16:03] ---
    Heh-heh, bat-handling skills
    are right up my alley...
[16:10] ---
    "Daihasei Festival: Day Five"
[16:12] ---
    Huh? You're light...
[16:14] ---
    "Daihasei Festival: Day Seven"
[16:16] ---
    The Gods of Wind and Thunder combo...
[16:18] ---
    ...is back in action!
[16:32] ---
    The Daihasei Festival is just about over.
[16:36] ---
    It feels like it's been so long,
    and yet so short.
[16:39] ---
    I ended up not getting
    to compete in a single event.
[16:42] ---
    If I had not gotten hurt on the second day,
[16:44] ---
    I could have at least competed
    with Sissy on the last day.
[16:47] ---
    What choice was there?
    You sacrificed your body to stop a terrorist.
[16:52] ---
    You should consider them scars of honor.
[16:54] ---
    Well, I suppose that is true.
[16:57] ---
    When I think about the events of that day,
[16:59] ---
    it feels like there is something
    important that I am forgetting.
[17:04] ---
    You, too, Miss Shirai?
    As it happens, I feel the same.
[17:08] ---
    I-I'm going to go buy us some drinks.
    What would you all like?
[17:12] ---
    Huh?
[17:12] ---
    Are you sure?
[17:14] ---
    Mm-hmm, to celebrate
    a well-fought Daihasei Festival.
[17:17] ---
    Okay, I'll take a Coconut Cider.
[17:19] ---
    Habanero Pineapple for me.
[17:22] ---
    One Watermelon Tea, please.
[17:24] ---
    Okay, give me a minute!
[17:28] ---
    Look at that! They're holding a folk dance!
[17:31] ---
    That looks like fun.
[17:34] ---
    I'd like to bust out some dance moves, myself.
[17:37] ---
    Though I don't have anyone else to dance with.
[17:39] ---
    Same over here.
[17:41] ---
    If only I were in tip-top shape,
    Sissy and I could be--
[17:44] ---
    Huh?
[17:46] ---
    Um... Miss Saten?
[17:49] ---
    Ah, Kamijo.
[17:51] ---
    Hey.
[17:53] ---
    Thank goodness.
[17:54] ---
    I never got to properly thank you
    for the scavenger hunt.
[17:57] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[18:00] ---
    Let me treat you to something,
    if you'd like. Nothing expensive, though.
[18:04] ---
    Oh, no, that's much too thoughtful of you.
[18:07] ---
    Thanks for waiting!
[18:09] ---
    H-Huh?!
[18:11] ---
    Wh-What are you doing here?!
    Wait, you know Miss Saten?!
[18:15] ---
    Yeah.
[18:16] ---
    She lent me her good-luck charm.
[18:17] ---
    G-Good-luck charm? What do you mean?
[18:21] ---
    Oh, I needed a good-luck charm for
    my scavenger hunt, and she lent me hers.
[18:27] ---
    Oh, the scavenger hunt... S-Sure, okay...
[18:32] ---
    Oh, yeah, she really saved my neck.
[18:35] ---
    Ah, Kamijo...
[18:38] ---
    This might sound funny,
    but in return for the good-luck charm...
[18:43] ---
    ...would you like to go to the folk dance?
[18:46] ---
    Huh?
[18:47] ---
    Huh?
[18:48] ---
    Huh?!
[18:49] ---
    Fine with me, but is that really all you want?
[18:53] ---
    Yes!
[18:54] ---
    Oh, but would you mind going on ahead?
    I'm going to wet my whistle first.
[19:00] ---
    O-Okay.
[19:06] ---
    Now...
[19:09] ---
    Oh no, the effects of the obstacle
    course just caught up to me!
[19:14] ---
    Whoa, are you all right?
[19:15] ---
    Oh, I think I might have twisted my ankle!
[19:19] ---
    Huh?!
[19:20] ---
    --It hurts!
    --No, Sissy, this is a trap--
[19:23] ---
    Ugh, it's going to be hard doing
    any strenuous activity like this.
[19:28] ---
    Oh, I know! Misaka, would you dance in my place?
[19:33] ---
    Huh?
[19:37] ---
    Wh-Why me? B-Besides,
    Miss Saten, you're the dancer here...
[19:41] ---
    It's all right. I didn't say
    anything about dancing "with me."
[19:45] ---
    B-B-But this is all so sudden...
    I'm not ready... Maybe next time...
[19:51] ---
    Oh, but you do wanna dance, don'tchu?
[19:55] ---
    Y-Yes, I do...
[20:04] ---
    Huh?
[20:05] ---
    Misaka?
[20:13] ---
    U-Um, what are we...?
[20:17] ---
    Wow, she's so stiff, huh?
[20:22] ---
    No interrupting them.
[20:30] ---
    Let's see, when the right hand
    goes up, what comes next?
[20:35] ---
    You went and saved me, again.
[20:37] ---
    Hmm?
[20:38] ---
    Yeah. I just helped a little bit
    there at the end, though.
[20:43] ---
    And there were others who were
    trying to help you too, remember?
[20:47] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[20:49] ---
    I've had a whole lot of my friends helping me.
[20:54] ---
    I...
[20:56] ---
    ...really can't stand
    the lousy way that Academy City
[21:01] ---
    sees espers as nothing but lab rats.
[21:03] ---
    But I did meet all of you after coming
    to this city, and those encounters
[21:09] ---
    are something that I treasure.
[21:12] ---
    So next time, I want to be
    the one protecting the others.
[21:16] ---
    I think that's really the least
    I can do to pay them back.
[21:21] ---
    Yeah.
[21:22] ---
    Th-That's all I wanted to say!
[21:26] ---
    Although, I never knew. To you,
[21:30] ---
    meeting me has been
    something you treasured, huh?
[21:34] ---
    Well, I mean, the way you said it,
    it includes me, too, right?
[21:38] ---
    You don't say, huh?
[21:40] ---
    Huh? Miss Misaka?
[21:43] ---
    That was your cue...
[21:45] ---
    Your time is up!!
[21:47] ---
    Oh, she jumped.
[21:49] ---
    She lasted a good while, there, too.

[01:58] ---
    Your rating has gone up since last time.
[02:00] ---
    Wow? Really? I'm so happy!
[02:03] ---
    It's because of all of you!
[02:05] ---
    "Effort pays off" is a lie.
[02:08] ---
    Just like the school you attend
    influences your employment prospects,
[02:11] ---
    the research facility you're associated
    with determines your future.
[02:15] ---
    Thank you very much!
[02:17] ---
    --I got really good at the forced
    smiles that made others like me.
[02:20] ---
    --Thanks for all you do!
    --I got really good at the forced
    smiles that made others like me.
[02:24] ---
    I'm looking forward to more again tomorrow!
[02:28] ---
    Ugh, all this acting friendly is
    more exhausting than the experiments.
[02:33] ---
    However, I wasn't counting on having
    that girl forced on me as a result.
[02:38] ---
    Oh, Kozaku?
[02:40] ---
    Yes?
[02:42] ---
    Listen, could you come and play
    with this girl in your free time?
[02:46] ---
    Huh?
[02:50] ---
    Dolly has lived her whole
    life at the facility.
[02:53] ---
    Stress is affecting her observational data.
[02:56] ---
    If she had someone to play with,
    it should lower her stress, right?
[03:02] ---
    Yes, if you think I will do...
[03:09] ---
    U-Um...
[03:16] ---
    Are you all right?
[03:18] ---
    Tell me, what's your name?
[03:19] ---
    Huh? Kozaku Mitori.
[03:22] ---
    Okay, I'll call you "Mi" then!
[03:24] ---
    So simple...
[03:36] ---
    From then on, once my experiments
    were over, it never failed.
[03:40] ---
    Whew, finally done for the day.
[03:57] ---
    Huh? Dolly?!
[03:59] ---
    I would end up being hounded like this.
[04:03] ---
    It's my turn!
[04:05] ---
    Here I go!
[04:10] ---
    Six! One, two, three, four, five, six.
[04:13] ---
    Ah, I had two kids! My
    congratulations, please!
[04:18] ---
    Tell me something, Dolly,
    why can't you go outside?
[04:22] ---
    They said it was something
    about my treatment.
[04:24] ---
    Treatment?
[04:26] ---
    At an ability development facility?
[04:29] ---
    They say it will help my young sister.
[04:31] ---
    You have a sister?
[04:33] ---
    I've never met her, though.
[04:35] ---
    If the treatment goes well,
[04:36] ---
    they say I'll have lots of younger sisters.
[04:39] ---
    I don't follow.
[04:40] ---
    It's your turn, Mi.
[04:51] ---
    Mi, that's amazing! It's really pretty!
[04:55] ---
    Not really. It isn't
    even that interesting, is it?
[04:58] ---
    If you go out to the ocean,
    you can see the real thing.
[05:00] ---
    Ocean? I know that one! I read it in my book!
[05:03] ---
    It's a place with lots of water!
[05:05] ---
    At first, I wondered why I was stuck
    with this simpleminded girl.
[05:25] ---
    --Dolly--
    --Mi!
[05:27] ---
    Hey!
[05:33] ---
    That's so cute!
[05:34] ---
    Why do you have to hug me
    over every little thing?
[05:38] ---
    And stop smelling me, too!
[05:40] ---
    I like the smell of people.
    Mi, you have a warm smell.
[05:47] ---
    Dolly smells like chemicals.
[05:53] ---
    Whad are you doig dad for, Mi?
[05:55] ---
    Because you won't do what I say.
[05:58] ---
    Back ad you!
[06:00] ---
    Somehow, whenever I was with her,
    my smiles were genuine and not put on.
[06:07] ---
    That's how it felt to me.
[06:10] ---
    Thanks for everything!
[06:12] ---
    The experiment ended early.
[06:14] ---
    What should we play today?
[06:19] ---
    Dolly!
[06:23] ---
    What are those devices...?
[06:26] ---
    No!
[06:28] ---
    Miss Kozaku, come with me.
[06:37] ---
    You have heard that she is here
    to get treatment, right?
[06:40] ---
    She needs some life support equipment
    to allow her to keep on living.
[06:45] ---
    Now, go on back home.
[06:47] ---
    Life support equipment...
[06:51] ---
    Really?
[07:07] ---
    If anyone finds out,
    they'll be more than just angry at me.
[07:12] ---
    "Parameter List." That's not it.
[07:15] ---
    "Planned Exterior construction site."
    Not that, either.
[07:20] ---
    The best thing to do to make
    your way in Academy City
[07:23] ---
    is to suck up to the researchers here.
[07:26] ---
    Interfering with their work
    would be out of the question.
[07:30] ---
    Please stop medicating Dolly!
[07:35] ---
    Ah. I'd gotten a report that we had
    a break-in at the data center. It was you?
[07:42] ---
    If so, then you now know
    what she is, don't you?
[07:47] ---
    Dolly is a c-clone,
    and she's your g-guinea pig for research
[07:50] ---
    that will help you make
    mass-produced clones that live longer.
[07:56] ---
    You're dosing Dolly with all kinds of drugs,
[07:58] ---
    with no regard for her health,
    just to collect your data!
[08:02] ---
    Your crazy drugs are making
    her already short life even shorter!
[08:10] ---
    Clones are just like us! They are alive!
[08:15] ---
    Please stop the experiments!
[08:16] ---
    And if I say we can't?
[08:18] ---
    Th-Then I'll go public
    with this research data!
[08:23] ---
    Who's going to believe
    the wild stories of a child?
[08:25] ---
    Even so, if I talk to
    the governing board about it,
[08:28] ---
    they'll do an on-site inspection...
[08:31] ---
    That won't happen.
[08:33] ---
    The ones who spearheaded these experiments
[08:36] ---
    are the governing board.
[08:39] ---
    Clones are just like us, are they?
    Well, you're right.
[08:44] ---
    Clones and you espers are
    both the same in Academy City--
[08:48] ---
    nothing more than experiment fodder.
[08:50] ---
    Why, you...!
[09:05] ---
    You're going to leave her alive?
[09:07] ---
    For better or worse,
    she does have a high dormant ability.
[09:11] ---
    Once Exterior is complete,
    she is likely to come in handy.
[09:19] ---
    Dolly...
[09:22] ---
    I was held in confinement for months--
[09:25] ---
    no, it might have been even longer than that.
[09:36] ---
    Then suddenly, one day,
    the guard disappeared...
[09:41] ---
    ...and when I went outside...
[09:44] ---
    ...the research facility
    was completely deserted.
[10:04] ---
    Go ahead and look down on us from on high.
[10:08] ---
    I'll show you that even lab rats...
[10:11] ---
    ...have fangs that can still bite into you.
[10:15] ---
    But from that moment on,
    my days were spent tormented
[10:17] ---
    by disappointment and
    feelings of powerlessness.
[10:25] ---
    My carefully-planned assassination
    mission ended in failure.
[10:29] ---
    What I learned was that
    even if there were 10,000 of me,
[10:33] ---
    the fact remained that the
    governing board was out of my reach.
[10:38] ---
    Take the mask off of her for me.
[10:45] ---
    Where am I?
[10:48] ---
    Who's this old geezer?
[10:51] ---
    Mm-hmm, you have a keen look in your eye.
[10:54] ---
    Eyes smoldering with
    the smoke of the embers of hatred.
[11:01] ---
    Let me come right to the point.
[11:03] ---
    How would you like the power to
    blow away Academy City without a trace?
[11:09] ---
    Huh?
[11:12] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[11:13] ---
    It sounds too good to be true.
[11:16] ---
    But why me?
[11:18] ---
    Hmm... Dogma, perhaps?
[11:21] ---
    High-minded ideals and rapacious ambitions
[11:25] ---
    both unravel when a person's capacity
    to tolerate stress is exceeded, you see.
[11:30] ---
    Which is why...
[11:31] ---
    I place no trust in resolve,
    whether it's by nature, or by nurture.
[11:36] ---
    If it doesn't kick in when it's crunch time,
    it can be a real turnoff.
[11:41] ---
    On the other hand, tremendous
    hatred is unwaveringly beautiful.
[11:46] ---
    One won't think twice about giving
    their life for the sake of vengeance.
[11:51] ---
    I'm banking on the dogma of hatred.
[12:02] ---
    The Judgment girl isn't here...
[12:06] ---
    Handcuffs? These are
    meaningless with my ability...
[12:14] ---
    Why bother?
[12:17] ---
    If I'm still alive, it means
    that the project must have failed.
[12:22] ---
    I could just stay here and be rat food...
[12:35] ---
    Shokuho Misaki...?
[12:43] ---
    I peeked inside Gensei's memories,
    thinking "just maybe," and sure enough...
[12:50] ---
    You were "Mi," weren't you?
[12:53] ---
    I was wondering why I had to play
    the part of the girl who abandoned Dolly,
[12:58] ---
    but maybe I should have looked
    into it closer a lot sooner.
[13:03] ---
    It wouldn't be fair to Miss Shirai,
[13:05] ---
    so I'll have you turn yourself
    in soon enough, but first,
[13:08] ---
    I need you to come with me for a bit.
[13:10] ---
    Huh?
[13:11] ---
    I learned something
    when I read Gensei's memories.
[13:15] ---
    Dolly had a sister that was
    created around the same time.
[13:21] ---
    The purpose of Dolly's creation
[13:23] ---
    wasn't just to establish
    the technical skills of cloning.
[13:26] ---
    She was also a specimen used
    to help create a network
[13:29] ---
    that would conduct data
    sharing between the clones.
[13:32] ---
    Dolly's memories and experiences were
    all transferred into another individual,
[13:37] ---
    where they still remain.
[13:39] ---
    This "younger sister" is lying asleep
    in a certain research facility.
[13:45] ---
    And while she shares her memories
    and experiences, she is not Dolly.
[13:50] ---
    Still, we can't just leave her there, right?
[13:53] ---
    Nothing beats having a stronger hand,
    so I need you to come with me.
[13:58] ---
    Why?
[14:02] ---
    You didn't have to explain all that to me.
[14:04] ---
    You could have just used
    your ability to control me.
[14:08] ---
    Did I need to control you, though?
[14:13] ---
    No, you didn't.
[14:13] ---
    "#15 Promise"
[14:17] ---
    All right, here's to
    Shirai's complete recovery...
[14:21] ---
    --Cheers!
    --Cheers!
[14:23] ---
    "Congratulations, Shirai Kuroko"
[14:24] ---
    Honestly, you are making too much of it.
[14:26] ---
    "Congratulations"
[14:27] ---
    It has been a whole week
    since I got out of the hospital.
[14:30] ---
    Still, with the Daihasei Festival going on,
    we never properly celebrated.
[14:36] ---
    Also, today's the day you stopped
    needing your wheelchair. Here.
[14:43] ---
    Well whatever the occasion,
[14:45] ---
    I am always happy to eat
    anything that you prepare, Sissy.
[14:51] ---
    Nonetheless, why are you doing it here?
[14:54] ---
    Now, now, don't be so rigid.
    Oh, let me refill your drink, Miss Konori!
[14:59] ---
    I'll make an exception today.
[15:01] ---
    Thank you very much!
[15:04] ---
    Come to think of it, Miss Misaka,
[15:07] ---
    how has your mother been since the incident?
[15:09] ---
    Huh? Mama?
[15:11] ---
    Oh, um, I think she's fine.
[15:14] ---
    Is that right? That's great.
[15:16] ---
    Uiharu is concerned about involving
    your mother in that affair, Sissy.
[15:21] ---
    Huh?
[15:23] ---
    They still have memories
    of that incident... Then,
[15:28] ---
    how do they remember me being there, too?
[15:31] ---
    I'm sure Shokuho must
    have made some revisions...
[15:34] ---
    Still, Uiharu, you got caught up
    in that business, too, right?
[15:38] ---
    I mean, you got knocked out by the bad guy.
[15:40] ---
    Yes, that's true, but...
[15:42] ---
    as a member of Judgment,
    I feel like I wasn't good for anything.
[15:44] ---
    But Miss Shirai came along
    and ended things without incident,
[15:47] ---
    so we'll call it all good.
[15:48] ---
    I just wish you had informed me of
    the incident when it happened, though.
[15:53] ---
    Yes, you are right.
    I wonder why I did not contact you.
[15:57] ---
    I am terribly sorry for that, Miss Konori.
[16:00] ---
    It sounds like she just erased
    the fact that I was there at all.
[16:03] ---
    Come to think of it, she had me stuck
    in the bathroom with an upset stomach.
[16:08] ---
    Unless you're prepared
    to kill me to stop me...
[16:11] ---
    "Congratulations, Shirai Kuroko"
[16:11] ---
    Well, let's use this party today
    to wipe the slate clean!
[16:15] ---
    Saying that does not cancel out your
    involvement with Shadow Metal, Saten.
[16:22] ---
    That was a big deal, huh?
[16:23] ---
    What's this, now?
[16:25] ---
    --As it happens, Miss Saten was--
    --Here, Uiharu! Aah...!
[16:29] ---
    --There you go. Do you want some more?
    It's good, huh? Go ahead.
[16:29] ---
    --Hold on! Sissy made that especially for me!
    --There you go. Do you want some more?
    It's good, huh? Go ahead.
[16:33] ---
    Is something the matter, Sissy?
[16:35] ---
    Hmm? Oh, mm-mm, I was just thinking
    how nice it was to have friends.
[16:43] ---
    I really am glad I'm not out of
    their circle anymore, the way I was.
[16:51] ---
    Okay, here. You can have this.
[16:54] ---
    Huh?
[16:55] ---
    You need it to make
    your ability work, don't you?
[17:10] ---
    That's what she wanted to see.
[17:12] ---
    Huh?
[17:22] ---
    So, you're saying Dolly
    recognized you as being me?
[17:26] ---
    Yeah. At the time, I didn't yet have
    the power to alter memories.
[17:31] ---
    Still, at some point, I think she
    figured out that I wasn't really you.
[17:35] ---
    I see. She had some
    surprisingly keen instincts.
[17:43] ---
    Thanks.
[17:44] ---
    Huh?
[17:45] ---
    Thanks to you, Dolly wasn't alone at the end.
[17:50] ---
    That was the thing that's stayed
    with me more than anything.
[18:11] ---
    Dolly...
[18:25] ---
    Mi...
[18:27] ---
    Mi...?
[18:29] ---
    Is that you, Mi?
[18:46] ---
    I've missed you.
[18:48] ---
    I was afraid you didn't like me anymore...
[18:51] ---
    I was afraid you thought
    I was disgusting... so...
[18:53] ---
    You dummy. That's not true at all.
[18:57] ---
    I remember this smell...
[19:00] ---
    I love your smell...
[19:08] ---
    Wait!
[19:10] ---
    You're Misaki, right?
[19:12] ---
    Why, whoever might that be?
[19:16] ---
    Misaki, I know it's you.
[19:19] ---
    You were both together with me
    in my dream for so long, after all.
[19:22] ---
    The times we spent with you are
    the only memories we have.
[19:31] ---
    I'm sorry!
[19:34] ---
    I'm sorry for tricking you for so long!
[19:36] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't catch on to their lies!
[19:39] ---
    I'm sorry for butting into
    your memories without your knowledge!
[19:44] ---
    I'm sorry to have become
    so preoccupied in a feel-good lie.
[19:49] ---
    If only I had looked into who "Mi" was...
[19:53] ---
    I could have reunited her with Dolly.
[19:55] ---
    I'd have learned what the
    experiment was about,
[19:57] ---
    and I'm sure Dolly wouldn't have had to die.
[20:01] ---
    This is all my fault for wedging
    my way in between you two!
[20:06] ---
    I'll do anything to make up for it...
[20:11] ---
    Okay, take me to the ocean.
[20:16] ---
    After that, I want to ride a
    roller coaster at an amusement park,
[20:20] ---
    and see a hippo at the zoo...
[20:22] ---
    Oh, and I also want to go on a plane.
[20:25] ---
    And I want to see the auroras in Finland,
[20:27] ---
    and play with the dolphins in Hawaii,
    and the llamas in Machu Picchu.
[20:31] ---
    Oh, no, that's too much.
    You want to go around the world?
[20:36] ---
    Actually,
[20:38] ---
    as long as the three of us
    are together, anywhere is fine.
[20:42] ---
    Is that... too much?
[20:50] ---
    Honestly, you always ignore
    whatever I say, and assert your own ideas.
[20:56] ---
    Your willfulness is through the roof.
[20:59] ---
    I really don't know what to do about you.
[21:13] ---
    Good.
[21:14] ---
    Looks like your fever is down, too.
    I think we can rest easy now.
[21:18] ---
    "However, while Misaka was lying in bed,
[21:21] ---
    the Daihasei Festival concluded,"
    says Misaka, bemoaning her situation.
[21:28] ---
    Oh, don't pout.
    I'll take you out somewhere, okay?
[21:32] ---
    Where would you like to go?
[21:34] ---
    The ocean...
[21:35] ---
    The ocean? Beach season is already over.
[21:39] ---
    "For some unknown reason,
[21:41] ---
    Misaka wants to make an exciting
    promise with someone dear to her,"
[21:47] ---
    says Misaka, having a strange sense
    of déjà vu and feeling sentimental.

    "#16 Dream Ranker"
[23:26] ---
    If you could dream any dream you wanted,
    what would you dream, Uiharu?
[23:29] ---
    I... would dream of eating all kinds
    of delicious food willy-nilly!
[23:33] ---
    You do that all the time anyway.
    What about you, Shirai?
[23:35] ---
    I would, of course--
[23:37] ---
    Ah, on second thought, never mind.
[23:41] ---

[00:08] ---
    All right, that's all for today.
[00:10] ---
    3rd-years, go on in first.
[00:11] ---
    1st-years, you're dismissed
    after everything is put away.
[00:19] ---
    Oh...
[00:21] ---
    A pleasant day to you, Miss Misaka.
[00:23] ---
    Huh?
[00:23] ---
    Uh-huh...
[00:25] ---
    Who is that?
[00:28] ---
    I guess I have not properly introduced myself.
[00:31] ---
    Hokaze Junko, 3rd-year.
[00:33] ---
    Oh!
[00:34] ---
    From the Shokuho clique.
[00:35] ---
    I don't think we've had a chance
    to speak since the Daihasei Festival.
[00:40] ---
    So anyhow, Miss Misaka,
[00:42] ---
    there is something I've very
    much been meaning to ask you.
[00:45] ---
    The Handy Antenna Service pair contract strap--
[00:48] ---
    I'm sure a fellow Gekoer
    such as yourself is aware,
[00:51] ---
    but it is something impossible for a
    girl to get by herself. What will you do?
[00:54] ---
    --W-Well, I, um--
[00:57] ---
    --My, my, look at you two, getting along well.
    --W-Well, I, um--
[01:01] ---
    Are you flirting with one of my girls now?
[01:05] ---
    My Queen!
[01:06] ---
    Are you saying I can't make
    small talk without your permission?
[01:10] ---
    And why are you dressed like that?
    Are you cutting class again?
[01:13] ---
    Girls have a legitimate reason
    for getting out of phys ed.
[01:17] ---
    But you're always doing so.
[01:19] ---
    You always find some reason or other,
[01:21] ---
    but the fact is, you just can't swim, can you?
[01:25] ---
    "Unless you're prepared to kill me to stop me...
[01:30] ---
    --...then move."
[01:30] ---
    --Wha--?
    --...then move."
[01:32] ---
    That's how badly you needed to use the bathroom?
[01:34] ---
    That's something you fabricated!
[01:36] ---
    They were both pretty taken aback.
[01:39] ---
    Because of you, I had to...
[01:41] ---
    What?
[01:42] ---
    I had to do a lot of covering up
    to keep everything under wraps, you know.
[01:47] ---
    There are any number of
    other ways you could have done so!
[01:50] ---
    --You should be thanking me,
    not blaming me for what I did!
[01:51] ---
    --U-Um, there's no need
    to get so heated about this...
    --You should be thanking me, not blaming me for what I did!
[01:54] ---
    --You keep quiet!
    --You keep quiet!
[01:55] ---
    I-I'm so sorry!
[01:57] ---
    You know, if you had left well enough alone,
[01:59] ---
    --none of that would have had to happen!
    --Uh, I just remembered something I have to do.
[02:03] ---
    --Huh? Hey, are you running away?!
    --M-My Queen, just a moment...
[02:05] ---
    I'm not done with you--
[02:07] ---
    Here it is after swim class,
    and you still have energy to spare, Misaka.
[02:13] ---
    How would you like to give up
    your lunch break to clean the pool, hmm?
[02:18] ---
    N-No...
[02:21] ---
    Sheesh.
[02:23] ---
    She's really good at starting fights.
[02:25] ---
    Miss Misaka?
[02:27] ---
    I'm sorry for earlier.
    I don't know if this will make up for it,
[02:32] ---
    but I'd like you to have this.
[02:34] ---
    Huh? Oh...
[02:35] ---
    They have become quite popular in our circle.
[02:39] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[02:40] ---
    See you.
[02:40] ---
    Oh, right...
[02:44] ---
    What is this?
[03:08] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[04:17] ---
    Wow!
[04:18] ---
    Indian Poker, right?
[04:20] ---
    Indian Poker?
[04:22] ---
    Yes.
[04:23] ---
    It's a card that lets you
    have another person's dreams.
[04:25] ---
    They're homebrew cards that
    are part of an underground craze
[04:27] ---
    in Academy City right now.
[04:29] ---
    First, the person putting up their dreams
[04:32] ---
    connects to the card fabricator
    and goes to sleep.
[04:35] ---
    Then, the events of their dreams
    get written onto a special card.
[04:40] ---
    Then, whoever is receiving the dreams
[04:42] ---
    puts the card on their
    forehead and goes to sleep...
[04:46] ---
    and bam! They're supposed to be
    able to have the exact same dream!
[04:51] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[04:52] ---
    It reacts with your brainwaves
    while you're sleeping
[04:54] ---
    and emits a faint electric signal.
[04:57] ---
    There are integrated aromas formulated
    to go with the content of the dreams.
[05:01] ---
    So it uses both effects to
    reproduce another person's dreams, huh?
[05:06] ---
    Rumor has it that there are a few
    rare people who can regularly provide
[05:10] ---
    "S-Rank" dreams that are funny,
    or dreams that are beneficial,
[05:13] ---
    ones that everyone wants to have.
[05:15] ---
    These charismatic people are
    supposedly called "Dream Rankers."
[05:21] ---
    Apparently, the color
    and pattern of the card varies
[05:24] ---
    depending on the type of dream written to it.
[05:27] ---
    Orange ones are supposed
    to be enjoyable, happy dreams.
[05:31] ---
    Well, she went to the trouble to give it to me.
[05:33] ---
    If I had the choice, though,
    a horror dream sounds more fun.
[05:37] ---
    Sissy...!
[05:40] ---
    I came over because I was feeling cold.
    Let's sleep togeth--
[05:56] ---
    Where is this?
[05:58] ---
    Is this a dream?
[06:07] ---
    K-Keroyon... Pyonkichi... Pyonko...
[06:12] ---
    G--
[06:14] ---
    Gekota!
[06:22] ---
    What is this? What is this?
[06:24] ---
    This Indian Poker is the best!
[06:28] ---
    Huh? You're going to introduce me
    to the queen of the castle?
[06:33] ---
    Oh, so there's a queen.
[06:36] ---
    Hmm? Queen?
    Come to think of it, this dream is...
[06:39] ---
    Oh...?
[06:40] ---
    Are you my new maid?
[06:42] ---
    Shokuho!
[06:44] ---
    I knew it!
[06:45] ---
    Wh-Who are you calling a maid--
[06:47] ---
    Huh? When did that happen?!
[06:49] ---
    Could you start with massaging my shoulders?
[06:52] ---
    Who, me?!
[06:56] ---
    H-Huh...?
[06:58] ---
    Why are you giving me that sad look?
[07:01] ---
    Is it because I'm about
    to turn down Shokuho's order?
[07:05] ---
    Ah, that feels so good.
[07:08] ---
    It's so hard to be so busty, you know?
[07:12] ---
    Shine my shoes.
[07:14] ---
    Rub some oil on me.
[07:16] ---
    Now pour me some tea.
[07:18] ---
    Why me? Why me? Why me?
[07:22] ---
    Oh my goodness! How clumsy of you.
[07:24] ---
    No, it wasn't! The handle came off by itself...
[07:27] ---
    What an absent-minded girl you are.
[07:30] ---
    Then again,
[07:31] ---
    you have been a lot of help, too.
    You show promise.
[07:36] ---
    Which is why...
[07:38] ---
    ...I'm giving you permission to wait
    on me for the rest of your life!
[07:47] ---
    Sissy, you are so beautiful when you are asleep.
[07:51] ---
    Ordinarily, this is when I would
    try to wake you up with a kiss,
[07:55] ---
    but you are so bashful,
    you always turn me away with a shock.
[08:00] ---
    I am terribly sorry, Sissy! When someone
    is only seeking a physical connection,
[08:05] ---
    an emotional connection can be so unsettling!
[08:08] ---
    Of course, such a thing is not to be,
[08:11] ---
    but Sissy, to have wound you up
    is the greatest indiscretion of my life!
[08:15] ---
    Allow my sincerity to set your mind at ease!
[08:19] ---
    To prove that my love for you is true,
[08:22] ---
    I offer my entire body and soul to you!
[08:25] ---
    I don't want it!
[08:29] ---
    This is the first time I've woken up more
    exhausted than when I went to sleep.
[08:39] ---
    Good morning!
[08:41] ---
    Morning.
[08:42] ---
    Is something the matter with Shirai?
[08:45] ---
    Search me.
[08:46] ---
    She's been like that all morning.
[08:48] ---
    So, how was it?
[08:50] ---
    The Indian Poker?
[08:52] ---
    It was an incredibly...
[08:54] ---
    ...hideous dream.
[08:56] ---
    I'm getting goosebumps just remembering it.
[08:58] ---
    The card's color said
    it was supposed to be a fun one.
[09:01] ---
    Ah, that reminds me, Misaka,
[09:03] ---
    are you familiar with this app?
[09:05] ---
    Huh?
[09:05] ---
    I found it yesterday.
    It's a kind of treasure hunt...
[09:10] ---
    Uiharu!
[09:11] ---
    Excuse me, something just came up.
    See you later.
[09:15] ---
    U-i-ha-ru!
[09:18] ---
    Indian Poker, huh?
[09:20] ---
    I've had all I can stand of it.
[09:22] ---
    How did you like my Indian Poker card?
[09:26] ---
    Well, um...
[09:28] ---
    How would you like to start one, yourself?
[09:30] ---
    No, I, uh...
[09:31] ---
    Maybe we can discuss it over tea after school.
[09:34] ---
    Uh... sure.
[09:37] ---
    So,
[09:38] ---
    what is Miss Misaka doing here?
[09:40] ---
    I could ask the same about you.
[09:42] ---
    I wanted to take this opportunity
[09:44] ---
    to strengthen the friendship between you two.
[09:46] ---
    --No way!
    --No way!
[09:48] ---
    Indian Poker has been
    gaining popularity among us lately.
[09:53] ---
    I've heard of it.
[09:55] ---
    Well, in that case, I will make this brief.
[09:59] ---
    I have invited Miss Misaka to join in, as well.
[10:01] ---
    Yeah, but I'm not...
[10:02] ---
    How about you, too, my Queen?
[10:04] ---
    Not interested.
[10:06] ---
    You should call it off, too.
[10:08] ---
    Yes, as you wish!
[10:10] ---
    Huh? Just like that?
[10:12] ---
    The Queen has expressed her intention.
[10:14] ---
    Would you tell the others
    to stop doing it as well?
[10:18] ---
    Yes.
[10:19] ---
    I am terribly sorry.
    And after I invited you here, too.
[10:22] ---
    No, that's okay.
[10:23] ---
    I mean really, what a childish game--
[10:26] ---
    --BLAU! It is an honor to meet you!
    --BLAU! It is an honor to meet you!
[10:28] ---
    What the...?
[10:29] ---
    Come on, you're being too loud.
    You're disturbing the other guests here.
[10:34] ---
    S-Sorry, sir. I'm just so nervous,
    being in the presence of a legendary S-Ranker.
[10:38] ---
    No need to stand on ceremony, take it easy.
[10:41] ---
    R-Right...
[10:43] ---
    S-Rank? Like in, those Dream Rankers
    Miss Saten was talking about?
[10:48] ---
    The card you gave us the other day
[10:50] ---
    was a sublime masterpiece
    that defies description.
[10:53] ---
    I honestly felt like I never
    wanted to wake up from it!
[10:56] ---
    That good?!
[10:57] ---
    Th-This might not cover it,
[10:59] ---
    but would you please let me have it, as well?!
[11:03] ---
    That's okay. You don't have to give me that.
[11:06] ---
    I'm able to use my dreams
    to spread joy to others.
[11:10] ---
    I'm happy enough to do so.
[11:13] ---
    --B-BLAU...!
    --B-BLAU...!
[11:15] ---
    Wow, there's an S-Ranker
    who gives out his cards for nothing.
[11:20] ---
    I wonder what kind of dream could make people...
[11:22] ---
    --...as enthusiastic as that.
    --Really, it was too much!
[11:25] ---
    I mean, Iris from the Goddess Club,
    doing Full Srvice Maid Ply!
[11:30] ---
    BLAU, your dreams feature everything
    from supermodels to virtual idols!
[11:34] ---
    You make epic interaction
    limitless for us ordinary guys
[11:36] ---
    when normally, it wouldn't
    even be possible to imagine!
[11:39] ---
    Like getting the weather girl,
    Uzuki Ana, in her TV studio,
[11:42] ---
    and forecasting a
    100 percnt chance of moistre!
[11:45] ---
    Or taking pleasantly plump
    glamor idol Fugu Iruka,
[11:47] ---
    and putting on an aqu*rium
    nature show in any outfit we want!
[11:52] ---
    For you to be able to produce cards
    like that, BLAU, you truly are a god!
[11:55] ---
    Just thinking about tonight,
    I can't stop the rush of excitement!
[11:59] ---
    It's only a matter of time before
    your dreams take Academy City by storm!
[12:05] ---
    It's not just entertainers, either.
[12:08] ---
    You know the two Level 5s
    from Tokiwadai Middle School?
[12:11] ---
    They're both exquisite beauties
    that could put professional idols to shame.
[12:14] ---
    BLAU, you don't mean...
[12:17] ---
    The third-ranked, Misaka Mikoto,
    seems pretty strong-minded, right?
[12:20] ---
    But once you ***** her,
    put on kitty ears and a tail and make her ,
[12:25] ---
    you can ******** all night long!
[12:27] ---
    You can use a ******* on
    Shokuho Misaki in her school swimsuit,
[12:31] ---
    take her too-big-for-middle-school ,
[12:33] ---
    and reach Level 6 before you !
[12:37] ---
    Y-You're going where even angels fear to tread!
[12:40] ---
    You're one shockingly formidable dude!
[12:41] ---
    Hmph, Level 5s are as good
    as stripped bare before me. Literally.
[12:48] ---
    --BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU!
[12:48] ---
    --Th-They sure do seem excited about something.
    I'm not sure what, exactly.
    --BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU!
[12:53] ---
    --I thought I heard both
    of your names come up, too.
    --BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU!
[12:55] ---
    --You are, after all, our school Level 5s--
    --BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU!
[12:59] ---
    We're just going to go stroll
    over to the shop next door...
[13:02] ---
    Huh? Huh? She had that killer look in her eye...
[13:05] ---
    My Queen! You have to stop her!
[13:06] ---
    Today only, I'm going to alter
    the memories of any witnesses.
[13:11] ---
    Oh, oh no. If these two team up,
[13:14] ---
    it's so easy for them
    to commit the perfect crime.
[13:19] ---
    Thank goodness.
[13:21] ---
    Only their cards were destroyed
    and memories altered.
[13:24] ---
    Honestly...
[13:25] ---
    I can't help it if someone
    has those dreams on their own,
[13:29] ---
    but passing them around like
    it's some kind of show is going too far.
[13:33] ---
    Dreaming about the object of
    your affection is unavoidable in your youth,
[13:38] ---
    but to traffic in them in
    back-alley deals like that is just...
[13:42] ---
    U-Um, are the two of you dreaming
    about boys you're interested in?
[13:50] ---
    Oh, dear...
[13:51] ---
    Ah, I just remembered,
    I have a thing I need to do with a thing.
[13:56] ---
    I, too... have a thing to do,
    so if you'll excuse me...
[14:03] ---
    #16 Dream Ranker
[14:06] ---
    Miss Shirai?
[14:08] ---
    Miss Shirai? Anyone home? Miss Shirai Kuroko?
[14:13] ---
    The degenerate Miss Shirai of Judgment!
[14:16] ---
    Uh, oh... Uiharu?
[14:19] ---
    We're on patrol. Please keep it together.
[14:22] ---
    What are you doing?
[14:24] ---
    It's an app Miss Saten
    told me about this morning.
[14:27] ---
    Miss Shirai, have you
    heard of treasure hunt apps?
[14:31] ---
    Yes. I have seen many students lately
[14:33] ---
    walking around with
    their cell phones in their hands.
[14:36] ---
    This app is similar to those.
[14:40] ---
    When you train the camera like this,
[14:42] ---
    it isn't a treasure reward that gets displayed,
[14:44] ---
    but the time when an accident
    occurred at that location.
[14:48] ---
    Someone had a fall down these stairs
    this morning, and that's being displayed.
[14:52] ---
    Luckily, it didn't end up
    being anything serious.
[14:56] ---
    That is not in very good taste, is it?
[14:59] ---
    No,
[15:00] ---
    and if that were all it was,
    it would just be misguided,
[15:02] ---
    and that would be the end of it, but apparently,
[15:06] ---
    this app also has future accidents,
    which haven't happened yet, on record.
[15:10] ---
    Future accidents? What is that supposed to mean?
[15:13] ---
    Just what it sounds like.
[15:15] ---
    Among the incidents that the app specifies
[15:17] ---
    are accidents recorded before they've happened,
[15:20] ---
    and at the indicated time,
    at the designated location,
[15:23] ---
    accidents and other troubling
    incidents have taken place.
[15:27] ---
    Or should I say, it's possible
    that they only came to light afterward
[15:30] ---
    and all of the data within the app was
    drawn up before the incidents occurred.
[15:36] ---
    Of those that were determined
    to be recorded before they happened,
[15:39] ---
    what is the ratio of accidents
    that actually took place?
[15:41] ---
    Six out of six.
[15:43] ---
    One hundred percent.
[15:46] ---
    Are you saying that someone
    with precognition helped create the app?
[15:51] ---
    There are some opinions on the net
[15:54] ---
    saying that there's a person or even a group,
[15:56] ---
    who is taking the appointed times
    and locations from the app
[15:59] ---
    and perpetrating acts to make sure
    that they happen just as they're foretold.
[16:04] ---
    But there have been no suspects
    tied to the string of events,
[16:07] ---
    so that line of reasoning
    is seen as pretty weak.
[16:10] ---
    Also, yesterday afternoon,
SIGN    "School District 17" "School District 20" "School District 16" "School District 8" "School District 1"
[16:12] ---
    a suspicious fire broke out in
    a factory in School District 17,
[16:15] ---
    and in the evening, there was a
    purse snatching in School District 16,
[16:18] ---
    and those have not been recorded yet,
[16:21] ---
    so there may be some kind of methodology to it.
[16:25] ---
    Whatever the case, since we cannot ignore this,
[16:28] ---
    it appears that we must look into it.
[16:30] ---
    Let us go search for
    some of this "foretold trouble."
[16:36] ---
    That was surprisingly easy to find.
[16:38] ---
    The incident is in 15 minutes.
[16:41] ---
    Does something happen in
    front of these vending machines?
[16:43] ---
    This being the side of the road,
    it is likely to be a traffic accident.
[16:47] ---
    If this app were genuine,
    I would like to go and stop traffic.
[16:52] ---
    But since there's nothing
    to corroborate it, that would be difficult.
[16:55] ---
    If it's some kind of crime,
    it may only get relocated as a result.
[17:00] ---
    I guess we have little choice.
[17:02] ---
    Let us go observe from someplace
    where we can see the whole road.
[17:10] ---
    Come to think of it,
    Judgment's training is just about done, huh?
SIGN    "Join Judgment!!" "Come with us!! For the future of Academy City!!"
[17:14] ---
    Do you think we'll get any
    new faces at the 177th Branch?
[17:18] ---
    Yes, who can say?
[17:20] ---
    Then finally, I'll have someone lower than me!
[17:24] ---
    Uh-oh.
[17:25] ---
    Is something the matter?
[17:26] ---
    How do I deal with these documents?
[17:29] ---
    You do this, here like this, with this.
[17:31] ---
    Wow, you know everything, Miss Uiharu!
[17:35] ---
    "Miss Uiharu"!
[17:36] ---
    All I can see is her being swamped
    by doting on her subordinate.
[17:40] ---
    Stop letting your head
    get swollen by silly fantasies.
[17:43] ---
    It is just about time.
[17:47] ---
    For the love of...
[17:48] ---
    That new store clerk they
    have is super-handsome, isn't he?
[17:55] ---
    An incident? An accident?
    Either way, I will make sure to stop it!
[18:01] ---
    --You dumbass!
    --Wonder if he's single.
[18:03] ---
    It doesn't look like it was any of those people.
[18:07] ---
    "Two minutes later"
[18:09] ---
    "Five minutes later"
[18:11] ---
    "Ten minutes later"
[18:11] ---
    There is nothing happening here, is there?!
[18:14] ---
    That's odd. Oh, sometimes the indicated
    times may be off by dozens of minutes.
[18:20] ---
    You might have told me that sooner!
[18:22] ---
    This might all be a hoax after all...
[18:26] ---
    A truck? But it is going the
    other direction and not speeding.
[18:31] ---
    It does not appear to be related to...
[18:35] ---
    Running into traffic?! And that car
    is passing! Is this what was foretold?!
[18:37] ---
    No, the location is off...!
[18:53] ---
    Are you hurt?
[18:54] ---
    Huh? Oh,
[18:55] ---
    I, um, think I'm okay.
[18:58] ---
    That was close.
[19:00] ---
    If I had not been anticipating something,
[19:02] ---
    I am not sure I could
    have made a rational decision.
[19:05] ---
    I am sure I would have reflexively
    teleported to the boy who dashed out.
[19:10] ---
    Uiharu!
[19:12] ---
    You have traffic control until Antiskill arrives!
[19:15] ---
    U-Understood!
[19:17] ---
    Where is the best vantage point?
[19:21] ---
    Can I assume that you
    are the precognitive esper?
[19:27] ---
    A grade-schooler?
[19:28] ---
    You could, of course,
    be a lookie-loo who saw the app,
[19:31] ---
    but my investigation will soon uncover--
[19:33] ---
    No, that won't be necessary.
[19:36] ---
    I am the one who created the app. Also,
[19:40] ---
    I meant to make contact with you,
    one way or another.
[19:46] ---
    Miyama Shaei, 4th-year at Matsuume Elementary.
[19:49] ---
    --Age 10. Precognitive esper.
[19:50] ---
    --Some hot milk for you.
    --Age 10. Precognitive esper.
[19:51] ---
    --Thanks.
    --Age 10. Precognitive esper.
[19:52] ---
    Mm-hmm, using this instant camera...
[19:56] ---
    ...you can perform psychic
    photography to see future events.
[19:59] ---
    What it produces is a marble pattern
    that I have no idea what it will turn into.
[20:05] ---
    When it's run through a
    special machine at a research facility,
[20:08] ---
    a vague image finally becomes visible.
[20:10] ---
    However, moments of tragedy
    are the only things that develop.
[20:14] ---
    My ability can only record accidents
    that will happen in the near future.
[20:19] ---
    But, everything so far is already
    written in the Bank, right?
[20:22] ---
    So far?
[20:23] ---
    Yes.
[20:24] ---
    No one could have created the app
    using only the ability he told us about.
[20:28] ---
    Oh.
[20:28] ---
    Mm-hmm. I'm not sure
    if I can call it the first stage,
[20:32] ---
    but by focusing my consciousness
    to an even higher level,
[20:36] ---
    I can produce photographs
[20:38] ---
    which also include the time and location
    data of specific tragedies that will occur.
[20:42] ---
    Data?
[20:43] ---
    The app was originally created
[20:45] ---
    by a certain company as an analytic tool
    for psychic photography espers.
[20:49] ---
    Finding lost items and people who
    have gone missing was its intended purpose.
[20:53] ---
    When psychic photos are passed to the app,
[20:55] ---
    the data analyzed from them
    is displayed on the map.
[20:59] ---
    So you are circumventing
    the research facility and using the app
[21:02] ---
    to carry out your own analysis
    of your psychic photographs?
[21:06] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:08] ---
    For this second stage,
    I wanted you, ribbon girl and flower girl...
[21:12] ---
    Shirai Kuroko.
[21:13] ---
    Uiharu Kazari.
[21:15] ---
    I wanted you, Shirai and Uiharu,
    to keep this entirely to yourselves.
[21:18] ---
    What, no "Miss"?
[21:20] ---
    And, um, why is that?
[21:21] ---
    There isn't much use for this,
    going by just the information in the Bank...
[21:25] ---
    ...but if you can come up with
    both a time and a place,
[21:28] ---
    those who would misuse
    the information will turn up,
[21:32] ---
    is that what you are saying?
[21:33] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:34] ---
    Very well. I promise that I will not
    breathe a word of this to anyone.
[21:38] ---
    M-Me, too.
[21:39] ---
    Thanks.
[21:40] ---
    That being said, it isn't an ability
    that can be used too conveniently.
[21:45] ---
    The reason I use the app
    is to conceal my identity.
[21:49] ---
    But there's another reason--
[21:50] ---
    to find an esper who can alter
    the fate of the events I foresee.
[21:55] ---
    Someone who can alter fate?
[22:01] ---
    Are you sure about doing this without asking?
[22:03] ---
    What?
[22:04] ---
    After all, who gets put out
    by having flowers bloom?
[22:07] ---
    It'll be fine. I learned all
    about it while I was dreaming.
[23:25] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:26] ---
    Use my power to prevent the
    incidents that Miyama Shaei foresees?
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#17 Precognition"
[23:29] ---
    It is not a bad proposal,
    but he seems to be holding something back.
[23:33] ---
    Well, Miss Shirai, you keep
    your degeneracy hidden, don't you?
[23:35] ---
    I do not either keep it hidden.
    Wait, what did you just get me to say, Uiharu?!

    "September 27th"
[00:01] ---
    Foreseen phenomena
    are basically etched in stone.
[00:04] ---
    Actions that try to change them only
    create a certain degree of divergence;
[00:07] ---
    the main gist of the event
    ultimately turns out as foretold.
[00:11] ---
    Are you saying that there's no escaping fate?
[00:14] ---
    I don't know if anything
    as occult as fate actually exists,
[00:19] ---
    but there may be some kind of
    unknown causative principle at work.
[00:22] ---
    Precognition is still a
    poorly understood field.
[00:26] ---
    However, every future so far
    has proved to be unavoidable...
[00:30] ---
    ...until you upset the one today.
[00:34] ---
    My ability provides an inferred outcome
[00:36] ---
    calculated within a
    three-dimensional framework.
[00:40] ---
    Ordinarily, there is no way
    to divert that track.
[00:44] ---
    But Miss Shirai's Teleporting
    is an 11-dimensional calculation.
[00:48] ---
    Does that mean it interferes with an
    inescapable three-dimensional outcome?
[00:53] ---
    It's all just theoretical.
[00:55] ---
    What is that?
[00:56] ---
    An ordinary penlight. When performing
    second-stage psychic photography,

    I use it to make it easier to focus.
[01:05] ---
    A simple oral explanation won't
    demonstrate if it's real or not, right?
[01:09] ---
    So I'm going to foretell something
    that isn't recorded in the app yet.
[01:30] ---
    Go ahead and shoot that photo with the app.
[01:32] ---
    O-Okay.
[01:38] ---
    Here it is. The location is less than
    a kilometer south-southwest of here.
[01:42] ---
    Please allow me to verify this, as well.
[01:44] ---
    The time is 40 minutes from now.
[02:11] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:22] ---
    It's too dangerous. We
    should go get a grown-up.
[03:25] ---
    It'll be fine. I'm almost there...
[03:28] ---
    See? I got it--!
[03:31] ---
    Chisa!
[03:38] ---
    Helb!
[03:45] ---
    The location was a river,
[03:47] ---
    so bringing life rings was the right call.
[03:58] ---
    Is that enough to certify my ability?
[04:01] ---
    And I was able to reaffirm that
    my Teleportation is effective
[04:04] ---
    in intervening with your predictions.
[04:06] ---
    Being able to save victims ahead of time
[04:09] ---
    isn't a bad proposition for Judgment, is it?
[04:15] ---
    I suppose not.
[04:20] ---
    M-Maki!
[04:22] ---
    Takkun, you really are cheating on me!
[04:24] ---
    --No, no, no, hold on a second!
    This girl came on to me!
[04:28] ---
    --Huh?!
    --No, no, no, hold on a second!
    This girl came on to me!
[04:31] ---
    Hey!
[04:35] ---
    I know how you must feel,
    but do not do anything hasty.
[04:38] ---
    --You need to hurry and step in,
    or this will end up uglier than predicted.
    --You dirty... rotten...!
[04:47] ---
    The crocodile they were transporting...!
[04:52] ---
    Y-You were the ones who bumped into us.
[04:54] ---
    Huh?! Who do you think
    you're talking back to?!
[04:58] ---
    You know who we are?
[05:00] ---
    You can introduce yourselves
    all you want to Antiskill later.
[05:06] ---
    Nice going.
[05:08] ---
    Your finesse is impressive, all right.
[05:10] ---
    --And now...
    --Thank you.
[05:11] ---
    ...more information on that mass
    unconsciousness outbreak the other day.
[05:14] ---
    "Cause of mass unconsciousness
    outbreak still unknown"
[05:14] ---
    According to a release from Antiskill,
[05:16] ---
    the victims are not showing
    any discernable aftereffects,
[05:19] ---
    but the cause is still unknown.
[05:21] ---
    --It looks like your ability missed that one.
    --Further, they are working
    with a number of research facilities
[05:24] ---
    --It looks like your ability missed that one.
    --and are devoting all their
    energies to determine the cause.
[05:26] ---
    --Maybe it didn't register
    --and are devoting all their
    energies to determine the cause.
[05:27] ---
    since they were only asleep
    and didn't suffer any other harm.
[05:31] ---
    Also, it's easier for me to pick up
    on those that are closer to me.
[05:36] ---
    In that sense, essentially, it may be
    a lot like being able to sense danger.
[05:40] ---
    But, since I can't change the future,
    sensing it doesn't do me any good.
[05:47] ---
    Here.
[05:48] ---
    For your leg.
[05:50] ---
    Oh, I must have scraped it earlier.
[05:53] ---
    If you use some first-aid cream,
    you'll need something to apply it with.
[05:58] ---
    You may seem like a cold fish,
    but you do know how to treat a lady.
[06:03] ---
    Well, I believe it's best to be considerate
    toward women as much as possible.
[06:08] ---
    Even if that's you, Kuroko.
[06:10] ---
    You should have quit
    while you were ahead. Good grief.
[06:14] ---
    Why are you in Judgment?
[06:16] ---
    Huh? Well, I...
[06:19] ---
    I would say that it is to keep
    civic order in Academy City.
[06:24] ---
    You mean the sake of justice?
[06:26] ---
    I suppose. Though there should be
    nothing more to say about it.
[06:32] ---
    I don't have a good grasp of things
    that have no logical reason or method.
[06:49] ---
    I have a new prediction.
[06:51] ---
    You look a little pale.
[06:54] ---
    I'm a little bit anemic.
[06:58] ---
    Is that the park?
[07:00] ---
    The time says tomorrow afternoon.
[07:04] ---
    Miyama, is something the matter?
[07:07] ---
    Look.
[07:09] ---
    Two, in the same park? This is the
    first time we are seeing that come up.
[07:13] ---
    This is a prediction I
    had before meeting you.
[07:16] ---
    The two predictions happen
    at just about the same time.
[07:19] ---
    Could it mean that they are both
    a part of the same accident?
[07:23] ---
    But the two incidents are separated
    by several hundred meters.
[07:27] ---
    The first photo has already been
    visually analyzed by the research lab.
[07:33] ---
    It's blurry, but what looked
    like raging flames was pictured.
[07:37] ---
    Flames?
[07:38] ---
    Is it possible for us to
    see the image analysis?
[07:41] ---
    Sorry, but it's not that easy
    for me to leave with lab materials.
[07:46] ---
    If both predictions are
    tied to the same matter,
[07:49] ---
    it would mean that the flames
    extend to a rather wide area.
[07:52] ---
    So a fire, an explosion, or pyrokinesis.
    That is about all I can think of.
[07:59] ---
    This case stretches over a long distance.
[08:02] ---
    There is a good chance that many people
    will be caught in the middle of it.
[08:06] ---
    In which case, it will be beyond
    what we alone can deal with.
[08:10] ---
    We will ask for assistance while
    leaving you out of it as much as possible.
[08:13] ---
    Do you agree?
[08:15] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[08:17] ---
    Excuse me!
[08:19] ---
    This month is Crime Prevention Month.
[08:22] ---
    Would it be all right if
    we checked your student IDs?
[08:25] ---
    Sure.
[08:26] ---
    Thank you, sir.
[08:29] ---
    He's not in possession of any
    explosives or hazardous materials.
[08:33] ---
    Okay, that checks out.
    Thank you so much for your cooperation.
[08:37] ---
    Checkpoints at every entrance to the park.
[08:39] ---
    Cross-checks with the
    Bank for esper abilities.
[08:42] ---
    Checks for possession of hazardous materials.
[08:44] ---
    A search of the park for hazardous materials.
[08:46] ---
    With the help from other
    Judgment branches, there are 40 of us.
[08:51] ---
    I'm surprised that everyone is so cooperative
[08:53] ---
    after we gave them such a shaky explanation.
[08:56] ---
    Well, to be honest,
[08:58] ---
    we can pretty well guess
    what the bigger picture is.
[09:01] ---
    Those girls have been on
    the scene of every incident lately,
[09:04] ---
    and minimizing any damage done.
[09:07] ---
    There are some in Judgment asking
    why we don't just shut down the park,
[09:12] ---
    but there must be some reason why we can't.
[09:16] ---
    Honestly, we don't know at what stage
    your ability begins disrupting things.
[09:22] ---
    If, by closing the park,
[09:24] ---
    fires break out in lots of different areas,
    it will be much harder to handle them.
[09:29] ---
    Two more hours.
[09:30] ---
    There.
[09:31] ---
    Miss Shirai, please put this on.
[09:38] ---
    What is this?
[09:39] ---
    Satellite imagery.
    It can provide you with the locations
[09:43] ---
    of every person in the park in real time.
[09:45] ---
    Wow, you got permission to--
[09:48] ---
    --Wait, did you hack into it?
    --Lives come first!
[09:52] ---
    Also, according to what I've heard around,
[09:54] ---
    there have been more stray dogs
    and cats around waste disposal sites...
[09:58] ---
    Miss Shirai?
[10:00] ---
    Oh, those cherry blossoms.
    This is October. Does that ever happen?
[10:07] ---
    After the temperature drops considerably
    and then gets warm again,
[10:11] ---
    cherry blossoms sometimes get tricked
    into thinking spring has come.
[10:15] ---
    Have we had that kind of weather, though?
[10:17] ---
    No, we haven't...
[10:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
[10:28] ---
    I've produced two more predictions.
[10:31] ---
    Both of them take place inside the park.
[10:34] ---
    These are not in a line
    between the previous two,
[10:36] ---
    but spread throughout the park.
[10:38] ---
    Thank you. This is helpful.
[10:40] ---
    If we refocus our search
    based on this layout...
[10:46] ---
    "#17 Precognition"
[10:46] ---
    Miyama!
[10:51] ---
    His red blood cells are damaged?
[10:54] ---
    Mm-hmm, and as a result, their capacity
    to carry oxygen is greatly diminished.
[10:59] ---
    It's a phenomenon occasionally seen
    when espers overexert their abilities.
[11:04] ---
    He'll have to refrain from
    using his ability for the time being.
[11:09] ---
    Any more than this, and he could
    be putting his life in danger.
[11:14] ---
    Why would you do something so reckless?
[11:20] ---
    Hey...
[11:22] ---
    Hey!
[11:25] ---
    Okawachi?
[11:26] ---
    Your ability lets you see when
    bad things happen to people, right?
[11:30] ---
    That's so morbid!
[11:31] ---
    Pretty nasty.
[11:37] ---
    Perro!
[11:40] ---
    Oh, there you are.
[11:42] ---
    My ability takes pictures
    of people's suffering.
[11:45] ---
    But someday, maybe my power
    can be used to help people out.
[11:51] ---
    As the power to protect them.
[11:54] ---
    Yeah, right.
[11:57] ---
    Here is the analysis of the
    psychic photo from the other day.
[12:00] ---
    Is that...!
[12:01] ---
    It couldn't be! Okawachi?
[12:05] ---
    Whoa, is this me in the photo?!
[12:08] ---
    Probably.
[12:09] ---
    L-Look, I'm sorry for everything
    I said before. Do something!
[12:14] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's why I made a
    copy for you without permission.
[12:18] ---
    We need to come up
    with a plan to change the future.
[12:23] ---
    Get out!
[12:25] ---
    Okawachi...
[12:26] ---
    I'm sorry. We ended up not
    being able to change the future.
[12:31] ---
    Ha, change it?
[12:33] ---
    Are you sure this didn't happen
    because you foresaw it?!
[12:36] ---
    Are you sure you don't bring
    about tragedy for others?!
[12:38] ---
    No--
[12:39] ---
    It's your fault that this
    happened to me, you know!
[12:43] ---
    I don't ever want to see
    your face again, you big jinx!
[12:47] ---
    It didn't help, Perro.
[12:50] ---
    I tried as hard as I know how to do, but...
[12:55] ---
    It doesn't look like I'm going
    to be able to help keep others safe.
[13:02] ---
    It can't be...
[13:04] ---
    Perro?
[13:06] ---
    No! How is this happening again?
[13:10] ---
    Is it really because of my ability?
[13:18] ---
    Hmm? Do you have a headache?
[13:21] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[13:30] ---
    If I recall that sensation I had before...
[13:40] ---
    Tamper with the future?
[13:42] ---
    Hmm, depending on the ability,
[13:44] ---
    there is a possibility it could happen.
[13:48] ---
    Found them.
[13:50] ---
    Judgment--those who
    voluntarily help other people.
[13:54] ---
    Still,
[13:56] ---
    stray dogs aren't subjects for rescue.
    If only somehow...
[14:01] ---
    Where am I?
[14:03] ---
    Oh, no!
[14:10] ---
    It's just about time.
[14:12] ---
    Yes.
[14:15] ---
    No explosives...
[14:16] ---
    ...or suspicious individuals have been found.
[14:21] ---
    Nor are there any gas lines
    or shopping areas underneath here.
[14:24] ---
    It is hard to imagine that these
    incidents are not actually in the park.
[14:29] ---
    So what exactly--
[14:32] ---
    It is starting!
[14:35] ---
    Miss Konori!
[14:36] ---
    Yes. Just like we discussed,
[14:39] ---
    we need to start guarding
    the people who get Teleported.
[14:47] ---
    Remain calm. I will Teleport
    you away from here.
[14:51] ---
    Please follow the nearby
    Judgment officers and evacuate.
[15:01] ---
    Next up...
[15:03] ---
    Wha--? It is already this widespread?!
[15:06] ---
    A fire broke out far away from me,
    and as I was shooting video,
[15:09] ---
    the flames had gotten
    really close, just like that!
[15:11] ---
    The flames are spreading too quickly.
    If this were an ordinary fire...
[15:16] ---
    The only things burning intensely
    are the cherry trees?
[15:20] ---
    Cherry blossoms... They do seem
    out of place, blooming out of season...
[15:26] ---
    What is causing it?
[15:30] ---
    Did you say the plant ampules?
[15:32] ---
    Yes. Whatever has been
    injected into the base of the trees
[15:35] ---
    could be a highly flammable substance.
[15:38] ---
    If that's the case, then after it
    has passed into the soil and trees,
[15:41] ---
    all these rows of cherry trees
    will have become long, giant fuses.
[15:46] ---
    All right. Predicting the spread
    of the fire based on that hypothesis.
[15:50] ---
    Miss Shirai, please patrol
    around the park with that in mind.
[15:57] ---
    Perro...
[15:59] ---
    Miss Shirai!
[16:00] ---
    This girl is the last one.
[16:03] ---
    As for those ampules,
[16:04] ---
    I collected a number of
    them that were nearby.
[16:07] ---
    Sure enough, they don't appear
    to be commercially made.
[16:16] ---
    It looks as though your guess is correct.
[16:19] ---
    But who on earth would
    do something like this?
[16:22] ---
    Kuroko!
[16:24] ---
    --Miyama?!
    --You there! You can't come in here!
[16:29] ---
    Could you...
[16:30] ---
    Teleport me into the middle of the park?
[16:33] ---
    That may be enough to disrupt it.
[16:38] ---
    Slow down, and please
    tell me what is going on, okay?
[16:47] ---
    A stray dog?
[16:49] ---
    That was your first prediction, right?
[16:52] ---
    But he's my friend. So...
[16:55] ---
    What does this dog look like?
[16:57] ---
    Huh?
[16:58] ---
    Uiharu, check the satellite imagery.
[17:01] ---
    The smoke is too thick. But
    if I filter out the unoccupied areas,
[17:04] ---
    it's possible to narrow things down.
[17:06] ---
    Miss Konori!
[17:07] ---
    Okay.
[17:08] ---
    Here we go.
[17:13] ---
    Honestly!
[17:14] ---
    I thought he might be
    hiding something from us...
[17:17] ---
    ...but he figured we
    wouldn't rescue a stray dog.
[17:21] ---
    For someone who acts as grown up as he does,
[17:23] ---
    he sure is childish in some strange ways.
[17:29] ---
    Miss Shirai, I've narrowed the area down!
[17:34] ---
    Next!
[17:36] ---
    Next! Next!
[17:48] ---
    Kuroko!
[17:49] ---
    Come back here and take me with you!
[17:52] ---
    I've been too focused on
    myself from the start!
[17:54] ---
    Teleporting can interfere
    with my predictions,
[17:57] ---
    but that doesn't always mean
    it changes the future for the better!
[18:00] ---
    I shouldn't have gotten
    you involved in this mess.
[18:02] ---
    You're liable to fall victim to it, too!
[18:04] ---
    This is on a much larger scale
    than anything else up to now.
[18:07] ---
    --You don't have to be so--
    --Miyama...
[18:10] ---
    If sticking your neck out to rescue
    a stray dog is self-centered,
[18:15] ---
    then my not backing out
    right now is also self-centered.
[18:25] ---
    Found him! He's limping away from the fire!
[18:29] ---
    And I am sure...
[18:33] ---
    ...that for us, what some call
    self-centeredness is the right thing to do!
[18:44] ---
    Kuroko...
[18:48] ---
    Perro...
[18:50] ---
    Oh, no...
[18:53] ---
    Welcome back.
[18:56] ---
    That was quite a close call.
[18:58] ---
    By Teleporting some ampules in the opposite
    direction the fire was surging,
[19:04] ---
    I was able to change the course of the fire.
[19:07] ---
    This is your dog, right?
[19:10] ---
    Other than his left paw,
    I do not see any obvious injuries,
[19:13] ---
    though he may have inhaled some smoke.
[19:15] ---
    We can take him to the hospital together.
[19:24] ---
    Boys should not be so
    quick to show their tears.
[19:28] ---
    B-Be quiet. Don't look at me.
[19:33] ---
    "October 5th"
[19:35] ---
    Sure enough, they say that those
    ampules were the cause of the fire.
[19:40] ---
    --The people who used them said that
    they thought they had invented a drug
    --I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[19:44] ---
    --that would allow the cherry
    blossoms to bloom all year round.
    --I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[19:47] ---
    But at the same time, it
    is a hazardous material
[19:49] ---
    that turns cherry trees into
    powder kegs of nitrogenous compounds.
[19:52] ---
    Did these people specialize
    in fertilizer chemistry?
[19:56] ---
    No. According to the statement,
    they learned it via Indian Poker.
[20:07] ---
    "If you ever want to see me, come by anytime.
    When you do, I'll take the opportunity
    to apologize. --Okawachi Megumi"
[20:14] ---
    I heard you found someone to take Perro in.
[20:17] ---
    Mm-hmm. One of my school classmates
    said she would keep him at her home.
[20:23] ---
    Will you miss him?
[20:25] ---
    Mm-hmm. But then, even if I can't
    see him as regularly as I have before,
[20:30] ---
    as long as he's alive, I can still see him.
[20:32] ---
    His is a life that you saved, after all.
[20:36] ---
    You're the one who saved him.
[20:38] ---
    Oh, no. Without your ability,
    I could not have saved Perro
[20:41] ---
    or any of those other people.
[20:45] ---
    Is that true, though?
[20:48] ---
    Yes, it is.
[20:50] ---
    But using my ability is now...
[20:53] ---
    Yes. You must not exceed your limit.
[20:57] ---
    However...
[21:00] ---
    ...abilities are things that can grow.
[21:03] ---
    Stick close to your curriculum,
[21:04] ---
    and when the day comes when
    you can use it without taxing your body...
[21:08] ---
    ...then come and call on me again.
[21:15] ---
    Even if my ability does improve,
    I may not try to use it to help anyone
[21:20] ---
    except those who are close to me, like Perro.
[21:24] ---
    Oh, no, I do not think that will happen.
    You are too much like me.
[21:29] ---
    Like you?
[21:31] ---
    Yes. I mean...
[21:35] ---
    I looked up to someone, as well.
    Someone who is a champion of justice.
[21:42] ---
    Is that right?
[21:44] ---
    I-I was a child at the time!
[21:48] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:51] ---
    I'll think about it.
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:26] ---
    Okay, today, I have the

[23:28] ---
    who want to develop yourselves
    in certain areas. Indian Poker!
[23:32] ---
    Oh, I've had my fill of that.
[23:34] ---
    You can acquire knowledge
    or skills while you sleep!
[23:36] ---
    I said I'm not interested--Huh?!
    "Bust Upper"?!

[00:23] ---
    What do you think of my kendama skills?
[00:25] ---
    That was amazing.
    You mean you mastered all that in one night?
[00:30] ---
    Yes. You can get so you
    can do this by just dreaming.
[00:33] ---
    Sleep-learning, huh? I didn't realize
    Indian Poker could be used like that.
[00:39] ---
    There are those who
    mastered English conversation
[00:41] ---
    through the dreams of
    someone fluent in English
[00:43] ---
    and who acquired
    professional-rank bowling skills
[00:46] ---
    through the dreams of an ace bowler.
[00:48] ---
    And next up for me is this
    one--a master-class pen spinner.
[00:53] ---
    Seems like her selections
    skew pretty heavily.
[00:56] ---
    So you know people who are expert
    kendama players and pen spinners?
[01:01] ---
    No. I get them through a Trader.
[01:03] ---
    A Trader?
[01:04] ---
    At first, all we could do
    was trade cards among friends.
[01:08] ---
    But that inevitably got
    pretty humdrum after a while.
[01:11] ---
    Lately, there have been Traders who deal
    in large volumes of cards classed by rank.
[01:16] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[01:17] ---
    The more popular S-Rank and A-Rank cards
    can generally be acquired through Traders now.
[01:24] ---
    By exchanging several low-ranking cards,
[01:27] ---
    or by buying them straight-out with cash.
    I traded for this one.
[01:31] ---
    Traders, huh?
[01:34] ---
    BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU! BLAU!
[01:39] ---
    I just hope there's nothing
    funny circulating around...
[02:11] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:17] ---
    Whew, I can finally have a shower.
[03:21] ---
    You can wipe away blood,
    but that metallic smell still stays in your hair.
[03:25] ---
    That's because you didn't use your ability,
    you just ultra-pummeled them.
[03:28] ---
    Today's target was
    kind of a pain in the ass, right?
[03:32] ---
    A quick Meltdowner blast didn't seem
    like it would let me vent my stress.
[03:37] ---
    Takitsubo, would you mind
    fetching me the Cybele #5?
[03:46] ---
    The one with the orange label?
[03:48] ---
    Yeah, that one.
[03:49] ---
    Here.
[03:55] ---
    Mugino and Takitsubo are
    both sporting some spectacular goods.
[03:59] ---
    But taking my age and height into
    consideration, my figure is the ideal!
[04:04] ---
    In comprehensive terms, I can safely
    declare that my body is ultra-perfect!
[04:08] ---
    Not to mention we also have
    the ultra-flat-chested Frenda!
[04:15] ---
    F-Frenda, have certain parts
    of your body ultra-developed?
[04:20] ---
    Hmm? Yeah, a little bit lately, huh?
[04:23] ---
    Maybe it's because my
    little sister has been rubbing them.
[04:25] ---
    My bras have been fitting tighter,
    and I've had to buy new ones more frequently.
[04:29] ---
    There's so many other things
    I'd like to take time shopping for, too!
[04:33] ---
    It really is getting to be a pain!
[04:36] ---
    I'm back.
[04:37] ---
    Took you long enough.
[04:39] ---
    Damn it, why do I have to be an errand boy?
[04:41] ---
    Quit your griping and hand it over, already.
[04:45] ---
    There.
[04:46] ---
    --Banana tea.
    --Thank you.
[04:49] ---
    Black bean cider.
[04:51] ---
    Thank you!
[04:52] ---
    And Kinuhata, you weren't
    there when they ordered,
[04:55] ---
    so I bought a few for you to choose from.
[04:57] ---
    Pomegranate cola,
[04:58] ---
    guarana green juice,
[05:00] ---
    and Musashino milk.
[05:02] ---
    What did you have in mind
    when you bought the milk for me?
[05:06] ---
    "Musashino Milk"
[05:06] ---
    Huh? Drinking this is supposed
    to be good for growing kids.
[05:11] ---
    Wh-What was that for?!
[05:14] ---
    Hey! Stop ultra-ducking me!
[05:17] ---
    Don't kill him. Re-staffing
    subsidiary organizations is a hassle.
[05:28] ---
    This is ultra-aggravating.
[05:33] ---
    Care for a card, little lady?
[05:35] ---
    Oh, Indian Poker? I *am *Nultra-peeved right now.
[05:40] ---
    Maybe it will help alleviate
    some of my stress.

[05:43] ---
    "Omelet expert"
[05:44] ---
    "Speed up your..." "*Kunoichi *NWorld" "A Maid's Day"
[05:47] ---
    Which one should I choose?
[05:50] ---
    Okay, I'll take this one,
    and this one, and this one, please.
[05:53] ---
    Okay, three C-Ranks. Thank you.
[05:56] ---
    Right, thank you.
[05:59] ---
    Ah, that must be one of those
    Traders Miss Saten was talking about.
[06:04] ---
    Miss, have you decided?
[06:06] ---
    Hmm, I'm ultra-lost here.
[06:08] ---
    I recommend this one.
    It was created by a Portuguese teacher
[06:12] ---
    and could let you master
    the language in a snap.
[06:15] ---
    No, I'm ultra-uninterested
    in the knowledge or skill types.
[06:19] ---
    I'm looking for something where I can
    ultra-experience a story in the dream.
[06:22] ---
    And not an A-Rank one,
    geared toward amateurs, either;
[06:25] ---
    I want an ultra-incisive one,
    C-Rank or below, with matchless character.
[06:30] ---
    Huh, I guess everyone
    wants something different.
[06:34] ---
    How about you?
[06:35] ---
    Oh, no, I've had an ultra-bad
    experience with these before, so...
[06:40] ---
    Um, did I do something wrong?
[06:43] ---
    No...
[06:44] ---
    Railgun! If Mugino were here,
    there'd be an ultra-bloodbath,
[06:47] ---
    but I have the day off.
    Everything's ultra-fine.
[06:50] ---
    Ho, so you drew a dud card, did you, Miss?
[06:54] ---
    But you know, if you give up on
    dreams just because you had a bad one,
[06:57] ---
    then your life from here on
    out won't be much fun.
[07:00] ---
    Who asked you?
[07:01] ---
    "A Rank"
[07:02] ---
    "B Rank"
[07:03] ---
    "C Rank"
[07:04] ---
    You don't have any S-Rank cards out, huh?
[07:07] ---
    Well, I keep those in reserve.
[07:09] ---
    All I have right now is this single card.
[07:12] ---
    It's not anything pornographic, is it?
[07:14] ---
    I can't really deal in those here.
[07:17] ---
    If you want one, though,
    we could retire to the back alley.
[07:20] ---
    No, I didn't say I wanted one...
[07:22] ---
    Then try this one out.
[07:24] ---
    This one has a sort of story behind it.
[07:27] ---
    It's loaded with the dream of a
    certain long-lost but brilliant scientist.
[07:32] ---
    Apparently, he was quite the wack job,
    even by Academy City standards.
[07:35] ---
    His final research theme
    was called "Bust Upper"!
[07:40] ---
    There's a chance that the
    essence of it is infused within here.
[07:45] ---
    Now, whether you believe
    that or not is up to--
[07:49] ---
    Huh?
[07:57] ---
    "Musashino Milk"
[07:58] ---
    Drinking this is supposed
    to be good for growing kids...
[08:01] ---
    ...growing kids... growing kids...
[08:03] ---
    It's ultra-easy to beat a whipped
    subordinate into obeying you.
[08:07] ---
    But as a woman, to do so
    makes me feel ultra-defeated.
[08:11] ---
    If I'm going to knock that stupid jerk
    down a peg and get him to respect me...
[08:15] ---
    Miss, I was the first one
    to grab this card, you know.
[08:20] ---
    My fingers were the
    ultra-first ones to touch it.
[08:22] ---
    Unless my ears were deceiving me,
[08:25] ---
    you said you weren't interested
    in knowledge and skill cards.
[08:28] ---
    For someone who said they had
    an ultra-bad experience with a card before
[08:32] ---
    and were done with them,
    it's ultra-shameful of you to call the kettle black.
[08:37] ---
    Take your hand off the card already,
    you dirty little runt.
[08:40] ---
    Keep dreaming, you ultra-ironing-board jerk!
[08:45] ---
    This girl is no ordinary customer.
[08:48] ---
    Given the information gap and the distance
    between us, I'm at an ultra-advantage.
[08:51] ---
    I don't think she can beat me.
[08:55] ---
    J-Just a minute! If the film gets
    peeled off, it will become unstable,
[08:58] ---
    and then nobody will be able to use it!
[09:06] ---
    Ow...
[09:08] ---
    M-My cards! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...
[09:12] ---
    Now I don't know which card is which!
[09:15] ---
    I remember it was silver-colored.
[09:18] ---
    There are several cards that look like that.
[09:21] ---
    Aw, now what do I do?
[09:26] ---
    I'll buy all of the cards you have here.
[09:28] ---
    Huh? I-I don't have any problem
    with that, myself, but...
[09:31] ---
    No...
[09:33] ---
    I'll pay half of it.

    "#18 Bust Upper"
[09:41] ---
    Thank you...
[09:47] ---
    "Nap Room"
[09:48] ---
    After some more careful thinking,
[09:50] ---
    what we both really want is
    the method of obtaining Bust Upper,
[09:53] ---
    and whichever one of us hits the jackpot
[09:56] ---
    can just provide that
    information to the other, right?
[09:59] ---
    An unproductive conflict is ultra-absurd.
[10:02] ---
    Besides, if we're going to check each
    and every one of this many cards...
[10:05] ---
    ...two heads...
[10:07] ---
    ...are better than one.
[10:08] ---
    Both of us share the same motive.
[10:10] ---
    Ultra-good luck to us both.
[10:19] ---
    Self-performed physical exams, done monthly.
[10:22] ---
    No change at all in breast size
    during the latter teen years?!
[10:27] ---
    And yet my classmate's breast
    development has been so pronounced,
[10:27] ---
    --Va-va-voom! Va-va-voom! Va-va--
[10:30] ---
    --one wonders if that isn't
    the core of her body!
[10:30] ---
    --Va-va-voom! Va-va-voom! Va-va--
[10:32] ---
    No, let's think about this differently.
[10:32] ---
    --Va-va-voom! Va-va-voom! Va-va--
[10:34] ---
    If there is no change in these measurements,
[10:37] ---
    it means that I'm holding on to my youth.
[10:39] ---
    I'm still in the clear.
[10:43] ---
    My waist has grown three centimeters?!
[10:47] ---
    N-No... If I convince myself
    baselessly that I'll develop eventually,
[10:53] ---
    it'll be too late once I end up like that.
[10:55] ---
    Hmm? What's this?
[10:58] ---
    I'm a maid?
[10:59] ---
    But this is an ultra-plain room
    for someone to have to hire a maid.
[11:04] ---
    Looks more like an ordinary dorm--
[11:06] ---
    --Bam!
    --A perv!
[11:07] ---
    My super-rare Loli Leviathan Bra Maid
    top has arrived from London!
[11:12] ---
    This will look good on you even if
    you aren't 36-24-36 like a fallen angel!
[11:17] ---
    If you don't get that nasty thing
    out of my sight, I'll ultra-kill you!
[11:22] ---
    Whoa! Your refusal today
    is especially extreme! However...
[11:27] ---
    ...I believe that the only one fit
    for this filly from Britain is you,
[11:30] ---
    the most beautiful maid
    in all of Academy City.
[11:34] ---
    I hope you realize that, at least.
[11:37] ---
    This man is an idiot and crazy,
    but his heart is sincere, pure, and simple.
[11:42] ---
    Whomever this dream belongs
    to doesn't hate him deep down inside.
[11:45] ---
    The opinions of the world
    at large don't matter.
[11:48] ---
    As long as the man I adore acknowledges me...
[11:50] ---
    I'm sure the size of my breasts
    is all the same. Is that how things are?
[11:55] ---
    If you don't like that one,
    I also have this maid swimsuit--
[12:00] ---
    Look, I'm ultra-against
    this sort of perversion.
[12:06] ---
    He's late. How dare someone like
    Yobou keep me waiting.
[12:11] ---
    I'll have to punish him for this later.
[12:15] ---
    I'm being watched. Is she hostile?
[12:18] ---
    No, her posture is that of a regular person.
[12:21] ---
    A high-class suit and shoes
    well worn-down from walking.
[12:25] ---
    A business card case in her inside pocket.
[12:28] ---
    Sh-Sh-She's not about to--!
[12:30] ---
    I'm a producer for a talent agency.
    How would you like to be an idol?
[12:35] ---
    Huh?
[12:38] ---
    The pure and innocent young lady
    from the Garden of Learning
[12:40] ---
    in her brilliant debut!
[12:42] ---
    I would be an instant sensation!
    But no, if that were to happen,
[12:47] ---
    I would become alienated
    from my class friends.
[12:52] ---
    I have to...
[12:54] ---
    ...turn her down...
[12:56] ---
    Excuse me,
[12:57] ---
    --do you have a moment?
    --H-H-Huh?
[13:00] ---
    Excuse my abruptness,
    but would you like to be an idol?
[13:02] ---
    Huh?
[13:08] ---
    You are a woman of discerning taste, I see!
    However, I am a student.
[13:12] ---
    In order for me to perform my part,
    I am afraid I must decline.
[13:15] ---
    We are dead even in the looks department.
[13:18] ---
    Moreover, I was standing in front of her!
[13:21] ---
    Why?
[13:24] ---
    That's why!
[13:25] ---
    I hate it! I hate the
    social stratification of bust sizes!
[13:28] ---
    If my breasts were just
    five centimeters larger...!
[13:36] ---
    Imagine, being wounded by a friend in
    a dream from someone I don't even know...
[13:42] ---
    The uniform this girl is wearing
    emphasizes the bust line nicely.
[13:46] ---
    I wonder where I can buy one.
[13:57] ---
    First a maid, now a kunoichi.
[14:00] ---
    "Temptress Scroll"
[14:01] ---
    What's this?
[14:03] ---
    A temptress scroll?
[14:05] ---
    Must be a technique for ultra-abducting men.
[14:09] ---
    "Use your feminine form to the utmost.
    The bigger your breasts, the better.
[14:14] ---
    If you can direct his gaze
    to your breasts in combat,
[14:16] ---
    you can create an opening to attack.
[14:18] ---
    Your charms can be useful in
    seducing even insurmountable foes."
[14:22] ---
    Tch, men really are nothing
    but a bunch of stupid scum!
[14:26] ---
    "On those occasions, forsake
    all sense of shame.
[14:29] ---
    However, feigning bashfulness
    is permissible."
[14:32] ---
    Ha! Girls who are well-endowed
    don't have any shame to begin with!
[14:37] ---
    "Ooh, my shoulders are stiff."
    "Ooh, I don't have any cute bras."
[14:39] ---
    All they do is humblebrag!
[14:41] ---
    "However, there are
    also underdeveloped shinobi."
[14:44] ---
    Nobody ultra-asked you!
[14:45] ---
    "If that is you, consider your legs!
    You can charm them with your legs.
[14:49] ---
    Go ahead and show off your
    inner thighs to incite their lust."
[14:52] ---
    Mm-hmm, well, I guess they do get it, huh?
[14:55] ---
    "Though the boobs are in greater demand.
    You'll never beat those out."
[14:59] ---
    Shut the ultra-hell up!
[15:01] ---
    I can always subjugate men with my fists!
[15:04] ---
    If you like big lumps of fat so much,
    you can eat fatty foods your whole life
[15:07] ---
    and die racked with gout,
    you big dumb, dumb, dummy!
[15:12] ---
    You're bothering the other guests here.
    Could you please keep it down?
[15:16] ---
    I'm ultra-sorry.
[15:22] ---
    I am a telekinesist, too.
    A much better one than you are.
[15:32] ---
    Aw, I remembered it again.
[15:35] ---
    Looking so smug while jumping the gun.
    That was really embarrassing.
[15:39] ---
    Are you still feeling down?
[15:42] ---
    Miss Kobayashi?
[15:45] ---
    The Daihasei Festival is
    over. Please cheer up.
[15:50] ---
    I messed up big-time, too,
    but it doesn't bother me now.
[15:54] ---
    But...
[15:55] ---
    Our Queen told me that feeling down
    is a waste of our brain's resources.
[16:01] ---
    So, come on, shoulders back, chest out!
[16:04] ---
    That may be fine for you, Miss Kobayashi,
[16:08] ---
    but with my chest like this,
    there's no point in sticking it out.
[16:12] ---
    You have plenty!
[16:14] ---
    If you're saying that at your size,
    there isn't any point,
[16:16] ---
    does that also mean that
    anything less is also pointless?!
[16:18] ---
    Have you even considered
    the feelings of people
[16:21] ---
    who aren't even sure when
    to start calling them boobs?!
[16:26] ---
    Would you mind leaving now?
[16:28] ---
    Okay.
[16:32] ---
    There's still some cards ultra-left unchecked.
    What do you want to do?
[16:35] ---
    Hmm, there's a hotel I
    sometimes visit nearby...
[16:39] ---
    "Undergoing renovations"
[16:41] ---
    I am terribly sorry,
    but because of the renovations,
[16:44] ---
    our general public rooms
    are closed for about a week.
[16:49] ---
    Hmm, my dorm, to say nothing
    of the Garden of Learning,
[16:53] ---
    would need us to jump through
    a bunch of hoops to allow a visitor in.
[16:56] ---
    I can't very well bring
    her back to our hideout, can I?
[16:59] ---
    For that matter, if Mugino saw me
    hanging around with Railgun,
[17:02] ---
    things would get ultra-messy.
[17:06] ---
    Is the outdoor lounge still open?
[17:12] ---
    It is nice and warm out today.
[17:16] ---
    This is ultra-good-enough.
[17:39] ---
    Huh? This isn't like all the others before.
[17:42] ---
    I haven't changed into anyone else.
[17:45] ---
    That moment you dream of a brighter future--
[17:48] ---
    could there be any time
    when you are filled with more hope?
[17:53] ---
    Yeah...
[17:54] ---
    Like, say, the size of a girl's breasts.
[17:57] ---
    Any girl would want to gain
    a figure that people admire,
[18:02] ---
    but the process of developing,
[18:03] ---
    and the excitement as you
    grow into your ideal body type--
[18:08] ---
    the period where you are able to feel that...
[18:11] ---
    ...is the sweetest time of your life.
[18:14] ---
    But we experience many
    obstacles in our way during life.
[18:19] ---
    They throw a wet blanket
    over our hopes for the future.
[18:23] ---
    Like, for instance, a
    threat you cannot ignore.
[18:27] ---
    But then, eliminating that threat
    may introduce yet another threat.
[18:34] ---
    What would you do if that happened?
[18:43] ---
    What kind of dream was that?
[19:15] ---
    We ended up viewing all of them,
    and Bust Upper wasn't in any of them.
[19:19] ---
    The next time I come across
    that Trader, I'm ultra-killing him.
[19:22] ---
    I thought something seemed
    off from the start.
[19:25] ---
    There's no way he would have just
    had such a specifically-targeted item.
[19:28] ---
    It's just an urban legend.
    There's no basis to it.
[19:31] ---
    And a scientist that just dropped off the map?
    That seems awfully fishy, too.
[19:35] ---
    Even for a made-up story,
    I ultra-wish it had been more realistic.
[19:53] ---
    Avert.
[19:54] ---
    Uh, look, I'm sorry.
    I didn't know you hated milk so much.
[20:00] ---
    I figured it's the go-to beverage
    for people to grow taller.
[20:04] ---
    Taller?
[20:05] ---
    Remember, you said so earlier,
    when I faked your student ID,
[20:10] ---
    so we could go see that rated-R15 movie,
[20:13] ---
    and the lady behind the counter
    gave you that look of suspicion?
[20:16] ---
    I wish I could be a little bit taller.
[20:20] ---
    So anyway, I thought maybe
    you'd like some milk.
[20:25] ---
    --Yow! Wh-What did you
    do that for?! M-My leg!
[20:28] ---
    --That was ultra-misleading!
    --Yow! Wh-What did you do that for?! M-My leg!
[20:32] ---
    Anyhow, there was this girl who
    kept saying "ultra" this and "ultra" that.
[20:35] ---
    We kind of got off on the wrong foot,
[20:38] ---
    but after we talked for a bit,
    she seemed like a surprisingly good girl.
[20:41] ---
    Sissy, it is about time
    we should go to sleep.
[20:45] ---
    I napped so much this afternoon,
    I'm not at all sleepy now.
[20:49] ---
    Oh, come to mention it, I had this one dream.
[20:53] ---
    There was this girl who
    was a street performer.
[20:55] ---
    She wasn't very endowed,
    but she was wearing this super-revealing outfit.
[20:59] ---
    And she was so confident, too.
[21:04] ---
    I am ever saying that I hope to spend
    the night together with you, Sissy,
[21:10] ---
    but this is not the way I meant it.
[21:18] ---
    You see? You see, you see? Well?
[21:20] ---
    Wow, you really got that good overnight?
[21:23] ---
    Yeah. It's so much fun!
[21:26] ---
    Next up, I'm thinking of getting
    a card from a house-of-cards expert.
[21:31] ---
    House of cards, you say?
[21:33] ---
    That sounds like something else
    that will be utterly useless.
[21:36] ---
    Though that is just like you.
[21:38] ---
    Aw, I wish nighttime would get here, already.
[21:47] ---
    Did you see that girl? Her breasts are huge!
[21:51] ---
    Hey, that's impolite to say, Miss Saten!
[21:52] ---
    Oh, where's the harm?
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    That was an ultra-awful experience.
    So, what are you up to, Frenda?

[23:30] ---
    Just texting with a little someone I know.
[23:32] ---
    Let's see. "I got pounded on by
    my associate. She has gorilla power."
[23:36] ---
    Wait, who are you talking about?
[23:38] ---
    Eep! Who, indeed?

[00:05] ---
    I took your uniform to the cleaners.
[00:08] ---
    I also picked up your winter uniform
    that was left there while I was at it.
[00:12] ---
    I am so sorry, Sissy,
[00:14] ---
    for putting you to any trouble.
[00:17] ---
    It's no trouble.
[00:18] ---
    You stopped a traffic accident
    before it happened, right?
[00:21] ---
    That's quite the feat.
[00:22] ---
    Yes, well...
[00:24] ---
    What is it?
[00:26] ---
    Did something happen?
[00:27] ---
    Well, um, actually...
[00:28] ---
    "Report"
[00:32] ---
    Oh, yeah? A precognitive app?
[00:35] ---
    Yes. All of the specifics are
    yet to be understood, though.
[00:39] ---
    So starting tomorrow,
    things are likely to get a bit more hectic.
[00:42] ---
    Got it.
[00:43] ---
    Is there anything I can do to help?
[00:46] ---
    Oh, Sissy! Just knowing you
    feel that way is more than enough!
[00:51] ---
    But whatever you do,
[00:52] ---
    please do not stick your
    nose in without asking first.
[00:55] ---
    You are a civilian, after all.
[00:58] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[00:59] ---
    Incidentally, Sissy,
[01:02] ---
    um, are you planning to use those cards
    again tonight when you go to sleep?
[01:06] ---
    Cards? You mean Indian Poker?
    No, I've had enough of that for a while.
[01:11] ---
    I had a rough time of it today.
[01:13] ---
    I-Is that right?
[01:15] ---
    Well then yes, of course.
    I think that is for the best.
[01:18] ---
    What, did you have something happen
    to you with those cards, too?
[01:22] ---
    Yes, a little spot of trauma...

    Huh?
[01:32] ---
    Didn't you say you had the day off today?
[01:34] ---
    I was scheduled to, but remember
    we found out about that app yesterday
[01:39] ---
    that would display the time of accidents?
[01:42] ---
    Well now I have to be on
    patrol because of them.
[01:45] ---
    Oh, I see.
[01:47] ---
    Oh, it's from Miss Shirai.
[01:49] ---
    Wow, is she rushing me!
    I'm sorry, and after you invited me out, too.
[01:54] ---
    Mm-hmm, I get it. Good luck.
[01:56] ---
    Right. See you later.
[01:58] ---
    Hello? Yes, I'm hurrying there.
[02:01] ---
    I was hoping we could eat
    together for the first time in so long.

    "Checkout"
    "Your total: ¥1,088"
[03:58] ---
    That will be ¥1088.
[04:00] ---
    Okay, here's ¥1100, so--
[04:01] ---
    Aah!
[04:04] ---
    They don't have it here, either...
[04:08] ---
    I am so sorry about that.
    We just sold our last one, stockroom and all.
[04:10] ---
    "Sold out"
    "Canned mackerel"
[04:13] ---
    All told, how is it that no matter where
    I go today, they're sold out everywhere?
[04:18] ---
    Oh, there was a newsmagazine
    show on yesterday
[04:21] ---
    that had a segment saying
    they were good for your looks.
[04:24] ---
    That's how I came to buy mine...
[04:28] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[04:29] ---
    Give... me...
[04:31] ---
    Huh?
[04:32] ---
    Give me that mackerel!
[04:34] ---
    Ladies!
[04:55] ---
    So, um...
[04:56] ---
    ...how long are you going to follow me?
[04:58] ---
    Until you hand over that mackerel, of course!
[05:02] ---
    Huh?
[05:04] ---
    Naturally, I don't mean I won't pay you!
[05:07] ---
    I'll buy them for ten
    times the regular price...
[05:11] ---
    All I have is plastic.
[05:14] ---
    O-Okay, how about you trade me
    for this shockingly cute doll?
[05:19] ---
    No, it's kind of creepy, actually.
[05:22] ---
    Then how about this Dangerous Cracker,
[05:23] ---
    which you can shoot at people
    who irritate you to blow off steam?
[05:26] ---
    A party popper? My walls are thin, so...
[05:30] ---
    Man! What do I have to
    trade you to get them?!
[05:33] ---
    You still assume you're getting them?
    Do you really like mackerel that much?
[05:37] ---
    "L-Like" doesn't even come close.
[05:41] ---
    If I go too long without ingesting them,
    I get awful palpitations,
[05:44] ---
    my extremities start shaking,
    and I hallucinate...
[05:46] ---
    If that's true,
    maybe you shouldn't be eating them.
[05:49] ---
    You know, I've been eating them every day,
    contributing to the canned mackerel industry,
[05:54] ---
    but then one TV feature comes along,
[05:55] ---
    and all the dingbats rush out and
    buy up them all up! Well I don't accept it!
[05:59] ---
    So give me yours!
[06:00] ---
    Huh?
[06:01] ---
    That's outrageous.
[06:03] ---
    Oh, all right. I don't want
    you hounding me anymore.
[06:08] ---
    I'll give you one of my two cans.
[06:11] ---
    You mean it?!
[06:12] ---
    Wow, you seemed like such
    a gullible pushover,
[06:14] ---
    I was sure that if I kept
    leaning on you, you'd cave,
[06:16] ---
    and I was right on the money!
[06:21] ---
    Okay, let's get right to it.
[06:22] ---
    Huh? You're going to eat them here?
[06:26] ---
    What are you... What are you...?!
[06:28] ---
    I used one with too much
    firepower by mistake!
[06:38] ---
    Ah! W-Wait!
[06:40] ---
    That was, all told,
    just an unfortunate accident!
[06:43] ---
    I need what's left for my own meal plan.
[06:47] ---
    And I have no pity to offer
    people who waste food.
[06:54] ---
    Hmph, Japanese people so cold.
[06:57] ---
    I just wanted taste of
    my homeland to ease homesickness.
[07:02] ---
    At the very least...
[07:05] ---
    You know, ignoring me really hurts!
[07:07] ---
    Oh, all right! Come on over to
    my place for dinner. Will that do?
[07:12] ---
    --Okay! Okay! Japan people
    am so nice! Yay! Yay!
[07:15] ---
    --What country are you supposed to be from?
    --Okay! Okay! Japan people am so nice! Yay! Yay!
[07:20] ---
    C--
[07:21] ---
    Curry?!
[07:23] ---
    Why are you putting
    the prize mackerel in curry?!
[07:26] ---
    Huh?
[07:26] ---
    Curry is too bold a flavor,
[07:28] ---
    and all the other ingredients
    just end up tasting like curry!
[07:31] ---
    All the flavor and zest
    of the mackerel gets ruined!
[07:33] ---
    There's no way this is gonna taste--
[07:35] ---
    This is so good!
[07:38] ---
    The spicy curry pairs nicely
    with the rich taste of the mackerel...
[07:41] ---
    ...and far from canceling it out,
    the synergy draws out both flavors,
[07:44] ---
    which are dancing briskly atop my tongue!
[07:47] ---
    Please don't talk while you're eating.
[07:51] ---
    Mmm, deilig!
[07:52] ---
    "Die lee"?
[07:53] ---
    It means "delicious."
[07:56] ---
    Oh, it's a foreign word?
    Well, anyhow, I'm glad you like it...
[08:01] ---
    Mohr pweeze.
[08:03] ---
    No restraint at all, huh?
[08:06] ---
    Wow, you really are something else.
[08:09] ---
    Next time we meet, it'll be my treat.
[08:13] ---
    Mackerel in miso,
    or mackerel in soy sauce, or something.
[08:15] ---
    Always with the mackerel.
[08:17] ---
    Oh, that reminds me. Are you on FUKIDASHI?
[08:20] ---
    You mean the messaging app?
    Yeah, I do it some with my friends...
[08:23] ---
    Here's my ID. Take it down.
[08:26] ---
    Huh? Oh, okay.
[08:30] ---
    And, with that taken care of...
[08:32] ---
    Ha det bra!
[08:34] ---
    "Haday"? "Bra"? What does that one mean?
[08:37] ---
    It means goodbye!
[08:40] ---
    See you!
[08:43] ---
    She played it her way, right up to the end.
[08:47] ---
    Well, even so, I guess that was kind of fun.
[08:55] ---
    Oh...
[08:57] ---
    So, the app I told you about
[09:00] ---
    has led to you being able
    to prevent accidents from happening?
[09:03] ---
    Yes. I can't tell you all the details,
    but at any rate, it has.
[09:08] ---
    Amazing. That's my Uiharu for you.
[09:10] ---
    It's more Miss Shirai's doing than mine.
    But anyway, thank you very much.
[09:16] ---
    It's fine, it's fine.
    As far as thanking me goes,
[09:19] ---
    you already did,
    with those adorable little pugs.
[09:22] ---
    I-I didn't think you flipped my skirt today!
    When did you manage that?!
[09:27] ---
    Hmm-hmm, you still have
    much to learn, Kazari.
[09:30] ---
    F-Fine, have it your way!
[09:33] ---
    Good luck with your Judgment work!
[09:42] ---
    "Everywhere is stocked up
    to the gills with mackerel"
[09:43] ---
    That girl from yesterday...
[09:46] ---
    "It was just a passing craze, huh?"
[09:47] ---
    "It was just a passing craze, huh?"
    "Read"
[09:50] ---
    "All told, we're the only ones
    with a true love for mackerel"
[09:54] ---
    And before I knew it, we became friends.
[10:04] ---
    "I messed up a little and
    got pounded on by my associate"
    "Gave me a huge lump"
[10:08] ---
    "You mean the one who's a major jock?"
[10:09] ---
    "Nothing as easygoing as that"
[10:11] ---
    "The one I always goof around
    with is really nice. Cute, too."
[10:14] ---
    "Mine is pretty, too,
    but she's a power-mad gorilla"
[10:20] ---
    "Do you know about Indian Poker?"
[10:20] ---
    "My colleague has done it"
[10:21] ---
    "My colleague has done it"
[10:22] ---
    "I did it and built a giant
    house of cards using two decks"
[10:24] ---
    "I did it and built a giant
    house of cards using two decks"
[10:24] ---
    "...All told, is there any point to that?"
[10:27] ---
    "After it collapsed, it was a
    huge pain getting the two decks sorted."
[10:29] ---
    For heaven's sake, what was she thinking?
[10:38] ---
    Hi there.
[10:39] ---
    Any good cards in?
[10:42] ---
    One that you would like?
[10:44] ---
    This one is from an
    American cracker champion.
[10:47] ---
    This one is from a
    coin-stacking record holder.
[10:49] ---
    And this one is a card from
    a super-skillful chopstick handler.
[10:54] ---
    Oh, yeah? Chopstick handling...
SIGN    "I just got the Indian Poker card of an expert who can pick up anything with chopsticks, no matter how small!"
[11:04] ---
    Indian Poker?
[11:06] ---
    Yeah.
[11:06] ---
    Cards that can pass along
    a person's experiences or skill to another.
[11:12] ---
    So what about them?
[11:14] ---
    There's been a movement
    around Academy City lately
[11:17] ---
    where scientists have been using these cards
[11:20] ---
    to leave behind their essence
    as a means of insurance.
[11:25] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[11:27] ---
    Of course, it's a gamble whether or not
    the data you want gets recorded.
[11:31] ---
    But word is that there are quite
    a few of them who are attempting it.
[11:36] ---
    There's much about what's inside
    scientists' heads that can't be codified.
[11:40] ---
    I get you. You're talking about that...
[11:43] ---
    Yes.
[11:45] ---
    The nanoparticle object
    interference adsorption manipulator,
[11:50] ---
    better known as the tweezers.
[11:52] ---
    A leak of that knowledge
    in card form has been spotted.
[11:56] ---
    Is your information about this reliable?
[11:59] ---
    Who knows? But if there's any truth
    at all to it, we have to investigate.
[12:04] ---
    I'll let you handle the "how," so get on it.
[12:13] ---
    Extract all conversations presumed
    to be related to Indian Poker and tweezers
[12:19] ---
    from security ranks A through D.
[12:22] ---
    Thirteen items returned.
[12:25] ---
    Thirteen, huh?
[12:27] ---
    Some of them seem to be
    just idle conversation,
SIGN    "I just got the Indian Poker card of an expert who can pick up anything with chopsticks, no matter how small!"
[12:30] ---
    but even if there's a one-in-a-thousand,
    or one-in-a-billion chance,

    "#19: Strange Coincidence"
[12:35] ---
    I'll have to snatch them up to find out.
[12:46] ---
    This one? No, this one would be more...
[12:57] ---
    Those people...
[12:59] ---
    ...are no amateurs.
    They're not any big deal, though.
[13:04] ---
    Are they from an opposing
    organization? Or maybe...
[13:07] ---
    F Team. Yes,
[13:09] ---
    we'll reach the source soon.
[13:17] ---
    I can't wait for tonight.
    Oh, right, I should tell Uiharu, too.
[13:37] ---
    Aw, what are they doing?
    I'm not one to work for free...
[13:43] ---
    But, I do owe her for dinner, and all.
[13:47] ---
    Ah, Hamazura? Bring the car.
[13:54] ---
    Indian Poker. Is this it?
[13:57] ---
    Get rid of the cell phone.
[13:59] ---
    Right. What do we do with the girl?
[14:02] ---
    They said she might have more information,
[14:04] ---
    so we're to bring her with us.
[14:05] ---
    Wow, torture?
[14:07] ---
    Aw, man...
[14:08] ---
    That's right. You're new,
    so you wouldn't know.
[14:10] ---
    --Huh?
    --There's supposedly someone
    above us who has the ability
[14:15] ---
    to make a person spill all
    their secrets with no trouble at all.
[14:17] ---
    If you or I think anything out of line,
    she'll know it immediately.
[14:22] ---
    You should be careful how you complain.
[14:24] ---
    Huh? I-I'm not hiding anything.
[14:29] ---
    Come on, get the lead out!
[14:32] ---
    All told, we got split up
    because you're too slow!
[14:36] ---
    It wasn't even five minutes after you
    called me that I got the car and arrived.
[14:40] ---
    If you're going to be a capable man,
    you have to do it in under a minute!
[14:43] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[14:44] ---
    Ah, we're just about caught up to them.
[14:47] ---
    Now just turn left...
[14:49] ---
    Hey! They're down there!
    What are you doing, Hamazura?!
[14:52] ---
    I'm just driving where you tell me to!
[14:54] ---
    Aw, man, what's the use?
[14:57] ---
    Watch it! Watch it! Wah!
[15:02] ---
    Grab my legs to prop me up.
[15:03] ---
    Also, don't jerk the wheel;
    it'll throw my aim off.
[15:06] ---
    Who are you, the king?!
[15:13] ---
    Wind speed 2 from ahead;
    range roughly 80; I'm not aiming for the car...
[15:27] ---
    What was that?! What happened?!
[15:29] ---
    The rubble is blocking the road!
[15:32] ---
    Another one?!
[15:34] ---
    The back, too!
[15:35] ---
    Yes! Bullseye! Leave it to me!
[15:39] ---
    --Oh, Hamazura, you can go now.
    --I'm the leader of Skill Out,
    so how did I end up like this?
[15:43] ---
    Oh, I got it.
[15:44] ---
    I must be dreaming. Though if I'm dreaming,
[15:46] ---
    --I'd rather be surrounded by bunny girls,
    getting hot and heavy...
[15:48] ---
    --Hamazura, you're gross.
    --I'd rather be surrounded by bunny girls,
    getting hot and heavy...
[15:54] ---
    How is it coming along?
[15:56] ---
    The prototype is a no-go.
[15:58] ---
    We'll have to make do
    with a video for the presentation.
[16:00] ---
    And last time, too, right? Everything okay?
[16:03] ---
    Oh, we could be in trouble pretty soon.
[16:06] ---
    What's wrong?
[16:07] ---
    Just now, for a second,
    there was something...
[16:09] ---
    All this exhaustion must be
    playing tricks on my eyes.
[16:16] ---
    Delete all the ambient sounds...
[16:23] ---
    In here, huh?
[16:28] ---
    It's good and airtight, all right.
    Cracking it will be difficult.
[16:34] ---
    Ignoring the alarms and
    overpowering the security would be easy,
[16:38] ---
    but I'd like to not leave behind
    any trace that I'm after the tweezers.
[16:44] ---
    This is an unused Indian Poker card
    with nothing written to it.
[16:56] ---
    Skimming the vault's card data.
[17:01] ---
    Not airtight enough.
[17:04] ---
    I guess they didn't count on an esper
[17:06] ---
    with the ability to duplicate scent
    components to come sneaking in.
[17:10] ---
    What is it?
[17:11] ---
    Stuffed animals...
    The stuffed animals exploded...!
[17:14] ---
    Stuffed animals?
[17:15] ---
    We're surrounded by smoke...
    Can't determine our status...
[17:19] ---
    Requesting you send backup!
[17:24] ---
    F Team is in charge of that
    unsubstantiated Indian Poker business.
[17:29] ---
    If someone's striking back at them,
[17:31] ---
    we must have hit an
    unexpectedly serious jackpot.
[17:35] ---
    No choice but to send that woman in.
[17:39] ---
    I won't flip your skirt anymore...
[17:42] ---
    Hey, wake up. Hey!
[17:49] ---
    Huh? Where am I?! Why am I handcuffed?!
[17:53] ---
    I'll burn those handcuffs off of you.
    Lie down on your stomach.
[17:56] ---
    Move and you'll lose your
    wrists, so hold still.
[18:00] ---
    "Garden of Learning"
    "Shidarezakura Academy"
[18:09] ---
    Miss Yumiya!
[18:11] ---
    Miss Yumiya!
[18:14] ---
    Y-Y-Yes?!
[18:15] ---
    We would like to go venture outside
    of the Garden of Learning now.
[18:22] ---
    Would you like to come with us?
[18:26] ---
    Um...
[18:27] ---
    Y-Y-You mean me?
[18:30] ---
    --Yes.
    --Yes.
[18:33] ---
    G-G-Gladly...
[18:38] ---
    I-I-I'm sorry. Excuse me a moment.
[18:42] ---
    Ah, Mr. Yobou... Yes... Huh? Right now?
[18:46] ---
    I, um... was going out with
    some friends at school, and... No...
[18:50] ---
    Yes... Yes... Yes, indeed.
[18:55] ---
    Um...
[18:56] ---
    I am terribly sorry about this,
    but something just came up.
[19:00] ---
    Well, that's too bad.
[19:02] ---
    All right, some other time, then.
[19:18] ---
    Judging by the traces on the battlefield,
    there are two in the quarry.
[19:21] ---
    One of them is the target that was taken,
    so there's one attacker.
[19:26] ---
    Loafers and high heels. They're both female.
[19:30] ---
    Going by their strides,
    one is 150cm tall, the other one 153. Also,
[19:35] ---
    from what I see of the
    communications log and debris,
[19:37] ---
    the weapons were bombs disguised as dolls.
[19:44] ---
    For the first time in a year and a half,
    I had classmates reach out to me...
[19:51] ---
    I was breaking away from loneliness
    to be one of the popular girls in class.
[19:56] ---
    I was set to become the school's idol,
[19:59] ---
    but now that my brilliant
    future is crushed...
[20:03] ---
    ...at least...
[20:05] ---
    "Yumiya Rakko, sniper,
    dark side organization SCHOOL"
[20:05] ---
    ...let this hunt be something I can enjoy.
[20:11] ---
    Oh, I've lost my cell phone.
[20:15] ---
    All told, you're lucky
    that's all that happened to you.
[20:19] ---
    Huh?
[20:20] ---
    Those weren't a couple of
    rowdy boys out for a bit of mischief.
[20:24] ---
    Any idea why they might have been after you?
[20:26] ---
    N-No, nothing like that!
[20:28] ---
    But shouldn't we contact Antiskill?!
[20:30] ---
    Yeah, I already took care of that.
[20:33] ---
    Huh? You did?
[20:34] ---
    Sure did.
[20:36] ---
    Aw, that card I just bought is gone, too.
[20:40] ---
    Kiss that goodbye.
[20:43] ---
    Then again, it's only natural for you
    to thank me for saving you, right?
[20:47] ---
    R-Right.
[20:49] ---
    And with that in mind,
[20:50] ---
    let's go to the supermarket and buy us
    a whole bunch of canned mackerel!
[20:54] ---
    Mackerel again?
[21:04] ---
    The blond Barbie still has on her...
[21:08] ---
    ...the scent of blood from the capture team.
[21:11] ---
    A guide leading me to my quarry.
[21:15] ---
    My, my,
[21:16] ---
    I had to turn down an invitation
    with my school friends because of you,
[21:20] ---
    and don't you look chummy?
[21:23] ---
    That really pisses me off.
[21:26] ---
    My orders are to capture the brunette alive,
[21:28] ---
    but I'm free to hunt the other one, aren't I?
[21:36] ---
    What should I have you make for me?
    Curry is, all told, a sure winner,
[21:40] ---
    but as far as other dishes that are good
    with mackerel, there's, let's see...
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:26] ---
    Canned mackerel curry, 10-second cooking!
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#20 Ha det bra"
[23:28] ---
    Empty the can of mackerel
    into a pot, water and all.
[23:30] ---
    Add grated ginger and anything else you like.
[23:31] ---
    Add a reasonable amount of water.
    Bring to a reasonable boil.
[23:34] ---
    Dissolve in a reasonable
    amount of roux. That's it!
[23:36] ---
    For being just thrown
    together, this is yum-my!

    What should I have you make for me?
    Curry is, all told, a sure winner,
[00:06] ---
    but as far as other dishes that are good
    with mackerel, there's, let's see...
[00:18] ---
    Huh? Blood? Wh-What just--
[00:22] ---
    Whoa, what's going on?
[00:25] ---
    We're being shot at!
[00:27] ---
    But from where?
[00:30] ---
    It's a through-and-through. I'm all right.
    I still have feeling in my left arm.
[00:35] ---
    I have to contact Mugino and the others--
[00:38] ---
    I shouldn't be visible to the
    surrounding buildings from this angle.
[00:41] ---
    This isn't a long-range shooter!
[00:43] ---
    Hey, are you all right?
[00:44] ---
    We're going inside!
[00:45] ---
    Huh? Hold on!
[00:59] ---
    She sensed how much danger she was in
    and gave up hiding behind here
[01:03] ---
    or trying to call her friends.
[01:05] ---
    After fleeing into the department
    store and pausing a moment,
[01:08] ---
    they took the elevator to a higher floor.
[01:14] ---
    Do please make this fun for me.
[01:40] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:51] ---
    Have they come after me?
[02:53] ---
    Probably.
[02:55] ---
    Um...
[02:56] ---
    I'm going to buy us a little time here.
[02:59] ---
    All told, with this many people
    coming and going here,
[03:02] ---
    if we disguise ourselves
    and blend into the crowd,
[03:04] ---
    it will be easy to give them the slip--
[03:08] ---
    They're shooting at me?!
[03:09] ---
    In a crowd like this, with no hesitation?
[03:13] ---
    Run!
[03:14] ---
    R-Right!
[03:17] ---
    This is bad.
[03:18] ---
    The one who's really exploiting this crowd is...
[03:20] ---
    Yes, I am the one using
    the crowd to my advantage.
[03:25] ---
    My sniper rifle is under my clothes.
[03:28] ---
    I can assemble it simply by
    bending and stretching my arms.
[03:31] ---
    And I can silently shoot my rounds
    with the force of CO2 gas.
[03:36] ---
    There isn't a single person here
    who realizes I'm a sniper, aiming at you.
[03:40] ---
    We need the people around us to help!
[03:42] ---
    They won't be of any help to us!
[03:44] ---
    They're more likely to panic and
    end up hampering our movements instead.
[03:48] ---
    With an enemy lurking in the crowd,
    that would prove fatal!
[03:52] ---
    Th-Then we could borrow a cell phone...
[03:55] ---
    Anyone whose cell we tried to borrow
    would just have their head blown off.
[04:02] ---
    We're getting driven to someplace
    with no people around.
[04:06] ---
    There are two types of hunters--
[04:13] ---
    the type who take delight
    in doing a perfect job,
[04:15] ---
    without ever letting their presence be known;
[04:18] ---
    and the type who take delight
    in making their prey writhe in pain,
[04:22] ---
    as they flaunt their skill.
[04:25] ---
    This one is definitely the latter!
    And the reason I know that...
[04:29] ---
    ...is that all told, I'm the same way!
[04:40] ---
    Why is this happening to me...?
[04:47] ---
    P-Please! Let me go! I didn't have any choice!
[04:52] ---
    I didn't double-cross you because I wanted to!
[04:53] ---
    --Are they filming something?
    --Is that blood real?
    --I'll pay you anything you want! So--
[04:55] ---
    --It couldn't be.
    --I'll pay you anything you want! So--
[04:57] ---
    --Huh?
    --What?
[05:01] ---
    He's been shot!
[05:02] ---
    Ah, the pleasure of that last,
    wretched scream the quarry lets out.
[05:08] ---
    I wonder what sound you'll make
    for me when you cry out.
[05:13] ---
    This person probably has
    some kind of rules that they adhere to.
[05:17] ---
    If their prey deviates in
    some way that displeases them,
[05:19] ---
    I'm sure they'll kill them on the spot.
[05:22] ---
    Or, to turn it around, we won't be killed
    as long as we play into their compulsion.
[05:26] ---
    All told, that sadistic nature
    is going to cost them their life.
[05:32] ---
    If they're targeting us from the crowd...
[05:40] ---
    Bring it on!
[05:45] ---
    You fell for it, you twisted sicko!
[05:47] ---
    I held up my hat to mislead you and draw you in!
[05:52] ---
    What are you talking about?
[05:54] ---
    Don't play dumb with me!
[05:57] ---
    Wh-Whoa, is that really...
[05:59] ---
    This guy shot me twice!
[06:01] ---
    But is there any evidence
    that he's the one who shot you?
[06:04] ---
    If you target someone from a crowd,
    you're going to disguise your rifle.
[06:08] ---
    And glancing around the area, this guy
    is the only one carrying something long.
[06:12] ---
    All told, this golf bag is irrefutable proof!
[06:15] ---
    There's nothing but ordinary
    golf clubs inside, though.
[06:23] ---
    S-Sorry about that!
[06:27] ---
    It's no use.
[06:29] ---
    I am Tracking your actions with perfect clarity.
[06:37] ---
    So that's it.
[06:39] ---
    She spread something all over the place here.
[06:43] ---
    I'm so glad to be able to come over
    to your home for dinner again, Himegami.
[06:49] ---
    Today, we're going to flex
    those cooking muscles!
[06:52] ---
    Damn it, what was all that about?
[06:55] ---
    What did I ever do to her?
[07:07] ---
    A-Are you all right?
[07:09] ---
    That was close. One wrong step,
    and we would have ended up like that.
[07:19] ---
    Traps in with the merchandise...
[07:21] ---
    I see that she isn't concerned
    if she involves any bystanders.
[07:26] ---
    Isn't that nice? What lovely desperation.
[07:30] ---
    Not that it will do them any good.
[07:34] ---
    They just took off half my ear! Damn it!
[07:42] ---
    I'm back.
[07:43] ---
    I have three cards,
[07:45] ---
    and this is a researcher
    from the place keeping the cards.
[07:48] ---
    Good work.
[07:50] ---
    Any word from Yumiya?
[07:51] ---
    Nothing yet.
[07:53] ---
    Let's just hope she doesn't
    fall back on any bad habits.
[07:57] ---
    Wouldn't that be rough?
[08:01] ---
    Damn it, they're not falling
    for any of my traps or tricks.
[08:05] ---
    They know everything we do.
[08:10] ---
    Did they stick a transmitter on her?
[08:13] ---
    --All told, if they had, it still wouldn't
    explain how they're avoiding my traps.
[08:14] ---
    --Um...?
    --All told, if they had, it still wouldn't
    explain how they're avoiding my traps.
[08:16] ---
    --All told, if they had, it still wouldn't
    explain how they're avoiding my traps.
[08:19] ---
    Huh? H-Hey!
[08:21] ---
    How can they be aware of all our actions?
[08:23] ---
    Not even Takitsubo's AIM Stalker can do that.
[08:27] ---
    It's not Second Sight, either.
[08:29] ---
    With all the distance between us and
    the constantly changing sources of cover,
[08:33] ---
    they should have lost sight of us long ago.
[08:35] ---
    I don't know how to counter them...
[08:41] ---
    I suppose it's about time. Once I shoot
    her legs so she can't move anymore,
[08:46] ---
    she'll start begging for her life--
[08:52] ---
    O-Oh, no! I'm on a mission, too!
[08:55] ---
    Oh, but what if they're like, "Oh, Miss Yumiya,
[08:57] ---
    what a crazy coincidence,
    running into you here like this!
[09:01] ---
    By all means, come and join us."
[09:03] ---
    If they were to invite me
    along like that, I'd just... I'd just...
[09:07] ---
    It sure is.
[09:11] ---
    That's me, all right.
[09:14] ---
    My skill as an assassin in blending
    into my surroundings is perfect.
[09:17] ---
    No, by no means has my unique
    loner's transparence been triggered.
[09:23] ---
    Oh, they're gone.
[09:25] ---
    It hurts... It hurts...
[09:28] ---
    All told, not knowing
    where the attack is coming from,
[09:31] ---
    there's no way to counter it.
    How did I get stuck in this situation?
[09:34] ---
    --Um...
    --Yeah, I'm not even the one they're after.
[09:39] ---
    All told, I only know her because
    we shared one canned mackerel dinner.
[09:43] ---
    I'm under no obligation to protect her.
[09:46] ---
    If we both run in different directions,
    the enemy will follow her.
[09:51] ---
    I hate to do this,
    but I need you to lure them off.
[09:55] ---
    If I force us apart, she'll just come
    following me, which would be pointless.
[09:58] ---
    Somehow, I have to talk her into it--
[10:00] ---
    Um, we should split up!
[10:03] ---
    Huh?
[10:04] ---
    If we go in different directions,
    they're more likely to come after me.
[10:11] ---
    Huh? What is it--
[10:14] ---
    You don't have to tell me that!
[10:17] ---
    If you left my side, could you
    protect yourself?! You're a Level 0!
[10:21] ---
    Do you think they won't
    kill you after they catch you?!
[10:24] ---
    I don't know what information
    they're trying to get out of you,
[10:26] ---
    but once you give it up,
    they'll just dispose of you!
[10:29] ---
    But the way this is headed,
    both of us are going to be done in, right?
[10:34] ---
    All I'm doing is slowing you down.
[10:37] ---
    I-It's all right. I can hold my own in a race.
[10:45] ---
    All told, I thought you were just gullible.
[10:49] ---
    But now? You're simply being an idiot.
[10:53] ---
    Then again...
[10:55] ---
    ...if you insist, why don't we do like you ask
[10:58] ---
    and turn you into a decoy?
[11:04] ---
    Oh no, oh no, if I take too long,
    Yobou will chew me out again.
[11:09] ---
    I have to hurry this up.
[11:11] ---
    The dark-haired one is
    coming this way all alone?
[11:14] ---
    Then again, if you insist,
    why don't we do like you ask
[11:18] ---
    and turn you into a decoy?
[11:21] ---
    If you, a Level 0 who can only slow me down,
[11:24] ---
    are prepared to lay down your life for me,
    it makes you the perfect soldier!
[11:29] ---
    All right.
[11:33] ---
    You're sure about this?
[11:35] ---
    I might be tricking you
    so I can run away on my own.
[11:38] ---
    If you hadn't saved me when they
    first caught me, I'd have been done for.
[11:43] ---
    And even if you were to, I wouldn't blame you.
[11:47] ---
    Yeah?
[11:50] ---
    My Tracking works during pursuit.
[11:53] ---
    If they double back toward me,
    I can't tell what their actions are on the way.
[11:57] ---
    I doubt she's seen through my skill;
    this is just by chance.
[12:01] ---
    But I know what my quarry is up to.
[12:04] ---
    Identifying me. The blond Barbie
    is using the dark-haired one as a decoy
[12:07] ---
    so she can observe the crowd.
[12:10] ---
    It's a ploy to shoot anyone
    who reacts to the dark-haired one.
[12:15] ---
    But it won't work.
[12:16] ---
    As someone who has mastered
    the art of loneli--I mean, assassination,
[12:20] ---
    I can blend perfectly into
    a crowd and not look out of place.
[12:24] ---
    My line of sight, my expression,
    the way I carry myself--all perfectly natural.
[12:30] ---
    And, there's the chance that she
    ditched the dark-haired one to run away,
[12:34] ---
    but that would just make things more fun for me.
[12:38] ---
    Friendship is such a
    superficial thing, after all.
[12:44] ---
    No, I was wrong. She didn't cut her loose.
    The blonde's objective...
[12:51] ---
    ...are those bombs?!
[12:52] ---
    The dark-haired one is expendable! This is bad!
[12:55] ---
    This will allow that damn Barbie...
[12:58] ---
    ...to waltz right on out of here,
    while silencing any witnesses
[13:03] ---
    and getting rid of me in the process!
[13:04] ---
    It's a master stroke of
    three birds with one stone!
[13:07] ---
    But if she commits such
    an indiscriminate mass murder,
[13:09] ---
    it's inevitable that her whole
    organization will be liquidated.
[13:12] ---
    Does she really think the
    cornered mouse can attack the cat?
[13:18] ---
    Oh, no! Gotta get behind the pillar!
[13:28] ---
    Huh?
[13:29] ---
    Whoops.
[13:30] ---
    Is everything okay?
[13:31] ---
    --Oh, yes, thank you.
    --Oh, crap--
[13:34] ---
    Found you!
[13:47] ---
    All told,
[13:49] ---
    --you're the only one who recognized
    those dolls as being bombs.
[13:50] ---
    --What was that?
    --What happened?
    --you're the only one who recognized those dolls as being bombs.
[13:52] ---
    --Huh? Was that a gun?
    --you're the only one who recognized
    those dolls as being bombs.
[13:54] ---
    You've been sneaking around
    hounding me and picking me off,
[13:57] ---
    but I'm gonna blow you away
    a hundred times as hard!
[14:00] ---
    You've turned the tables.
[14:05] ---
    What was that?!
[14:07] ---
    Don't stop!
[14:08] ---
    Get going, already!
[14:10] ---
    Don't push!
[14:12] ---
    W-Will this really identify
    whoever is following us?
[14:16] ---
    All told, if they have a way to see
    what we're doing here, we've had it.
[14:21] ---
    But, if my prediction is correct,
    then more than likely, this will reveal them.
[14:26] ---
    Once they're safely identified,
    I'll leap in to fight them right away.
[14:29] ---
    Don't push against the crowd trying
    to escape, just get out of here.
[14:33] ---
    --But I--
    --All told...
[14:35] ---
    ...if you stay behind,
    it puts me at a disadvantage.
[14:39] ---
    If you get taken hostage again,
    I will abandon you in a heartbeat.
[14:43] ---
    We're two people who have
    always been from different worlds,
[14:47] ---
    and I forget all about people
    who I'm never gonna see again.
[14:53] ---
    Th-The canned mackerel!
[14:55] ---
    I figured you might come over to eat again,
[14:57] ---
    so as it happens,
    I stocked up on a whole bunch of it!
[15:00] ---
    I can't eat all of it by myself.
[15:02] ---
    If you don't step up and come eat it with me,
    I don't know what I'll do!
[15:20] ---
    Miniature bombs?!
[15:21] ---
    They may be only good for shockwaves,
    with no fragmentary effect,
[15:24] ---
    but to use bombs in
    close-quarters combat is nuts!
[15:29] ---
    Even so...!
[15:38] ---
    If your arm is so messed up
    that you can't throw right,
[15:42] ---
    then you're no longer a threat!
[15:54] ---
    Well, well, for as loud as you
    were bragging, you're nothing.
[15:57] ---
    Didn't you say something about
    getting me back a hundredfold?
[16:00] ---
    Now, you can't even stand up.
[16:03] ---
    I...
[16:05] ---
    I can't keep this up any longer, huh...?
[16:10] ---
    All told,
[16:11] ---
    the reason I'm not getting to my feet...
[16:13] ---
    ...is because it's safer down here on the floor.
[16:21] ---
    A mass detonation?!
[16:24] ---
    When did she plant so many of them?
[16:26] ---
    While the dark-haired one was acting as a decoy?
[16:30] ---
    She might be trying to use the smoke as cover,
[16:32] ---
    but it will take more than this
    to get away from my nose.
[16:35] ---
    In fact, this situation works to my advantage.
[16:42] ---
    What... the...?
[16:44] ---
    Low oxygen...? She was using thermobarics...?
[16:49] ---
    Is that what you were up to?
[16:53] ---
    Well, you didn't close the deal!
[16:55] ---
    There's no point unless it's a closed space!
[16:58] ---
    There's air streaming in
    from the windows you broke!
[17:13] ---
    Ha det bra!
[17:24] ---
    So you're saying you have
    no idea why you were being targeted?
[17:28] ---
    No.
[17:34] ---
    Okay, I'll be going now.
[17:37] ---
    Whew, that questioning took forever!
[17:41] ---
    I'm glad that it's over.
[17:42] ---
    Sorry to keep you, Uiharu.
[17:44] ---
    Here's the rough plan for the next little while.
[17:47] ---
    Considering that there's
    a chance you may still be in danger,
[17:51] ---
    for the next few days, you're going
    to be staying at an Antiskill facility.
[17:56] ---
    You can go back to your dorm once they decide
[17:58] ---
    that the threat against you
    has lessened to some degree,
[18:00] ---
    but even after that, Judgment will
    continue to provide a personal escort,
[18:04] ---
    so please don't worry.
[18:06] ---
    Going to all this trouble over me, huh?
[18:08] ---
    No, it's no trouble.
[18:10] ---
    So tell me, about the department store...
[18:13] ---
    Oh, right. According to the report,
[18:17] ---
    there were signs of explosives and a struggle,
[18:19] ---
    just like all the witness statements said,
[18:22] ---
    but it also says that they found
    no bodies or anyone who was injured.
[18:25] ---
    Oh, is that right?
[18:27] ---
    Okay, let's get you moved over there.
[18:29] ---
    If there's anything you need,
    I'll get it ready for you.
[18:33] ---
    Well, I could use a new...
[18:45] ---
    "Ah--"
[18:47] ---
    "Come to think of it,
    you did tell me not to waste food"
[18:52] ---
    "If I feel like it a week from now,
    I'll come over for dinner,
    so have something ready. Hee-hee-hee"
[19:03] ---
    Good work on that lousy job.
[19:05] ---
    Thanks to you guys,
    we have more data on the tweezers.
[19:09] ---
    While their current whereabouts are unknown,
[19:12] ---
    it's certain that within the next few days,
[19:15] ---
    they're going to be used at a
    facility near Kirigaoka Girls' School.
[19:20] ---
    Our source on this is supposedly assured.
[19:23] ---
    We'll go with this group.
    The calculations we'll need--
[19:26] ---
    Please wait!
[19:28] ---
    Before you do,
[19:30] ---
    give me the chance to hunt
    down that damn Barbie!
[19:34] ---
    Hey, now, it's thanks to Yobou slipping
    onto the scene at the last moment
[19:38] ---
    that you got away with your life.
    Don't throw it away again so soon.
[19:42] ---
    Now, you're naturally steamed about this,
[19:45] ---
    but with the regenerative
    treatments that Academy City has,
[19:48] ---
    your face can be restored. Not to mention,
[19:50] ---
    how are you going to pursue her
    without that nose you're so proud of?
[19:53] ---
    I can find out where the
    dark-haired one is by tracing her cell.
[19:57] ---
    Besides, I don't feel angry
    toward that damned Barbie!
[20:03] ---
    She and I had a deathmatch
    under extreme circumstances.
[20:06] ---
    She did everything in
    her power to get close to me!
[20:09] ---
    That's what friendship is, isn't it?!
[20:11] ---
    She had the same whiff about her as you, right?
[20:15] ---
    In that case, you'll see her again soon
    enough that you don't have to rush it.
[20:18] ---
    I can't take things that easily!
    I'm sure she's waiting for me, too--
[20:23] ---
    Hey...
[20:25] ---
    How many more seconds
    do I have to waste on you?
[20:32] ---
    Guess he still hasn't gotten
    over all that trauma yet.
[20:35] ---
    The tweezers have first priority.
    Personal grudges come after.
[20:44] ---
    What do we do?
[20:45] ---
    She might really be done now.
[20:48] ---
    You handle it. I remember
    we always had a spare candidate.
[20:52] ---
    Either way, there's gonna be
    a lot of death on this one.
[20:55] ---
    To hell with whatever Academy City has in mind.
[20:58] ---
    I'm gonna use my own little tricks
    to do whatever I want.

[00:07] ---
    I really haven't been getting enough sleep.
[00:09] ---
    Ever since all that happened,
    I've had nightmares that keep me up.
[00:12] ---
    Miss Misaka!
[00:15] ---
    Well, if it isn't little Kana.
[00:17] ---
    Hello.
[00:18] ---
    Hello!
[00:20] ---
    You're not with your friends today?
[00:23] ---
    Mm-mm.
[00:24] ---
    I'm going to the Learning Core to study!
[00:26] ---
    Oh, yeah? Good for you!
[00:30] ---
    Would you walk with me to the bus terminal?
[00:33] ---
    Hm? Do you not know how to get there?
[00:35] ---
    Uh-huh.
[00:36] ---
    Do you have to go down
    an empty street, or something?
[00:39] ---
    Not really.
[00:40] ---
    Then do I really need to go with you?
[00:43] ---
    You aren't doing anything
    now anyway, so come with me!
[00:46] ---
    We're off!
[00:48] ---
    Um... What?
[00:51] ---
    Come to think of it,
[00:52] ---
    I saw you on TV during the Daihasei Festival.
[00:56] ---
    Huh?
[00:57] ---
    Oh, the live coverage.
[00:59] ---
    You came in first in the
    three-legged race and scavenger hunt.
[01:02] ---
    Well, I am pretty quick on my feet.
[01:06] ---
    Not that winning races means a whole lot
    when you get out in the real world.
[01:09] ---
    Y-You may be right about that, but still,
[01:12] ---
    no matter what you do,
    it still takes physical strength.
[01:14] ---
    Miss Mikoto, you're such a muscle-head.
[01:18] ---
    You know, Kana, you shouldn't just blurt out--
[01:21] ---
    Uh-oh!
[01:22] ---
    The card dealer is gone!
[01:25] ---
    This is where that Trader was.
[01:27] ---
    Do you know what Indian Poker is?
[01:30] ---
    Huh?
[01:31] ---
    There was a man who sold cards there.
    He had a lot of them,
[01:35] ---
    but the best one he had was called "Bust Upper,"
[01:38] ---
    which was supposed to let you
    dream your way to bigger boobs.
[01:42] ---
    But I wonder if anyone would
    actually buy something like that.
[01:45] ---
    If there were, they'd have
    to be awfully scrawny
[01:47] ---
    and have a pretty nasty complex
    about their own figure, you know?
[01:51] ---
    I'm sure they would also be
    short-tempered and always ready to fight,
[01:54] ---
    and yet flirt with boys with
    what she thinks are fancy goods--
[01:57] ---
    Just a minute!
[01:58] ---
    How can you put those awful words
    into a little girl's mouth, Shokuho?!
[02:01] ---
    Uh-oh, the jig is up.
[02:06] ---
    Huh? I'm already at the bus terminal.
    Oh, it's Miss Mikoto!
[02:11] ---
    I'm impressed you figured it out.
[02:12] ---
    Anyone could have figured it out!
[02:14] ---
    Are you two friends?
[02:16] ---
    --Of course we aren't.
    --Of course we aren't.
[02:18] ---
    Be sure to study hard,
[02:20] ---
    so you don't turn into a muscle-head, okay?
[02:23] ---
    Muscle-head?
[02:24] ---
    See you later!
[02:28] ---
    So, after this roundabout way
    of getting me, what do you want?
[02:32] ---
    And how did you even know about that card?!
[02:34] ---
    There's something I needed to look into,
    and I read the Trader's memories.
[02:40] ---
    But you know...
[02:42] ---
    You looked so desperate while scrambling for it,
[02:45] ---
    but I don't see any change at all!
[02:47] ---
    Or is it that your
    flat-chestedness is so powerful
[02:49] ---
    the card didn't have any effect on you?
[02:52] ---
    Shut up! You think these
    pudgy lumps of flesh are so special--
[02:57] ---
    Miss Misaka! Have you lost your mind...?
[03:01] ---
    Would you mind not assaulting people
[03:03] ---
    and then going off to wallow
    in despair by yourself?
[03:28] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[04:38] ---
    We have confirmed that the
    blast-proofing on the student buses,
[04:40] ---
    the fact that the shower rooms are supplied
[04:43] ---
    with theoretically pure water
    from a solid-state plant,
[04:46] ---
    and numerous other confidential,
    proprietary details about Tokiwadai,
[04:50] ---
    such as the layout of various campus
    structures and facilities,
[04:53] ---
    have been leaked.
[04:55] ---
    It extends to other
    Garden of Learning institutions
[04:57] ---
    and some large corporations, as well.
    There are even instances
[05:01] ---
    of information pertaining to
    security measures that have gone public.
[05:04] ---
    The cause of all this is thought to be...
[05:06] ---
    These cards, known as "Indian Poker."
[05:09] ---
    They are devices that allow one
    to share their dreams with someone else.
[05:14] ---
    But through dreams that
    are recorded on these cards,
[05:16] ---
    --organizational information
    that would normally remain secret
    --Whoa! So this is the Garden of Learning!
[05:20] ---
    --appears to be leaking externally.
    --Whoa! So this is the Garden of Learning!
[05:23] ---
    So what would be run-of-the-mill
    information for anyone involved
[05:26] ---
    ends up being precious data for
    those outside the organization, right?
[05:29] ---
    Yes. Each school has hurriedly
    started taking measures...
[05:32] ---
    ...but these are handmade items,
    not sold through commercial markets,
[05:36] ---
    so we are a bit behind the curve.
[05:39] ---
    Antiskill has attempted to contact the site
[05:41] ---
    to which the original plans for
    the card writer had been uploaded...
[05:46] ---
    ...but identifying the uploader of
    the plans has been extremely difficult.
[05:50] ---
    Kuriba Ryoko.
[05:51] ---
    Shinshikimi Middle School,
    in School District 20. Age 14.
[05:55] ---
    The photo is from when she enrolled.
[05:58] ---
    You're saying that she's the one
    who came up with the plans for Indian Poker?
[06:01] ---
    Took you long enough.
[06:04] ---
    I asked you for this over 24 hours ago.
[06:06] ---
    --I'm not one to traffic in vague,
    unconfirmed information.
    --Here, one stir-fried rice.
[06:11] ---
    Would you mind if I asked
    why you're looking into this matter?
[06:15] ---
    There was something familiar about
    the principle behind those cards.
[06:19] ---
    Indeed. According to my investigation,
    she was once involved with Clone Dolly.
[06:25] ---
    Could their objective at the time
[06:26] ---
    have been to use the cards for
    psychological doping or brainwashing?
[06:31] ---
    Those cards don't seem to
    have those functions as of yet.
[06:35] ---
    Whatever the intent,
[06:37] ---
    I'm going to find whatever idiot would circulate
[06:41] ---
    something like that out
    into the world at this point.
[06:43] ---
    One ramen!
[06:46] ---
    So, where is this girl?
[06:48] ---
    Forgive me, that is still under investigation.
[06:52] ---
    That's not like you.
[06:55] ---
    To be more accurate,
[06:57] ---
    she is affiliated with
    a certain research institute.
[07:00] ---
    --I have ascertained that
    she is living within the facility,
    --How am I supposed to eat this?
[07:04] ---
    --so I did not pursue it any further.
    --How am I supposed to eat this?
[07:06] ---
    As I was investigating this
    research institute, something felt off.
[07:11] ---
    About whether the Kuriba Ryoko
    at the facility was really "Kuriba Ryoko."
[07:17] ---
    What is that supposed to mean?
[07:19] ---
    So, I've pinned down the creator of
    these cards and the organization she's with.
[07:24] ---
    The experiments they're doing there
    sound a little beyond unconventional.
[07:28] ---
    --They must involve--
    --I had no idea they were so...
[07:30] ---
    ...heavy in one's hands...
    So soft, even through her clothing...
[07:34] ---
    Or felt so springy as
    they pushed back against me...
[07:37] ---
    I was the one grabbing them,
[07:39] ---
    but it was as if they were clinging
    to my hands, embracing--
[07:42] ---
    Ow...
[07:43] ---
    I don't need to hear any more
    of you reviewing my boobs!
[07:46] ---
    And how long are you going
    to space out over there?!
[07:49] ---
    For that matter, why are
    you acting so shocked now?
[07:53] ---
    I hate to be the one to say this, but you
    can pretty well eyeball how big they are.
[07:57] ---
    I was thinking that maybe the chain
    on your bag emphasized your cleavage,
[07:59] ---
    making them look bigger,
[08:01] ---
    --when actually, they weren't
    that much different than mine...
[08:04] ---
    --Has Miss Misaka always been this dumb?
    --when actually, they weren't
    that much different than mine...
[08:08] ---
    Anyhow, you heard what I was saying, right?
[08:12] ---
    About how there's a budding threat
    to your own brainwashing territory
[08:16] ---
    and you want to nip it?
[08:18] ---
    That interpretation is just
    as twisted as your disposition.
[08:23] ---
    Can we leave me out of this for the moment?
[08:26] ---
    The experiment that Kuriba Ryoko was involved in
[08:28] ---
    is not directly related to Indian Poker.
[08:32] ---
    She was more of a cyborg test subject.
[08:35] ---
    Cyborg?
[08:36] ---
    When you hear the word cyborg,
    you think of everything
[08:40] ---
    from artificial organs being transplanted
    to full-body mechanization, don't you?
[08:43] ---
    But the experiment she was involved
    with was a bit more out of the ordinary.
[08:48] ---
    Kuriba Ryoko was experimentally
[08:50] ---
    turned into two people.
[08:52] ---
    Huh?
[08:53] ---
    Her body was used as a
    test subject and taken apart,
[08:56] ---
    and the parts that were missing
    were then replaced by machinery.
[08:58] ---
    She went from having one body
    to being reborn as two cyborgs.
[09:03] ---
    Well, that's...
[09:05] ---
    Was there some circumstance
    that forced her to do so?
[09:08] ---
    No, there wasn't. It was entirely
    because that was the subject matter.
[09:13] ---
    The two Kuribas lived separate lives,
[09:16] ---
    and after a year passed, she was
    put back together into her original body.
[09:20] ---
    There was no particular issue with
    psychological fragmentation or rejection.
[09:25] ---
    Apparently, she retained both halves
    of her memories from when she was split.
[09:30] ---
    Sounds like quite the gruesome experiment,
[09:32] ---
    but cyborg medical treatments
    can help many disabled people,
[09:37] ---
    and the whole affair is already over,
[09:39] ---
    so I don't see that outsiders
    like us have anything to say about it.
[09:42] ---
    Yes. We're of the same opinion
    as far as that goes. However,
[09:46] ---
    this experiment had
    one other objective, you see.
[09:50] ---
    Kuriba's purpose
[09:52] ---
    was to confirm the compatibility
    of cybernetics with human bodies.
[09:56] ---
    The research institute's
    primary objective was the same,
[10:00] ---
    and if something else came about
    as a by-product, well, so much the better.
[10:07] ---
    That being the generation of a soul.
[10:11] ---
    Uh...
[10:13] ---
    Miss Misaka, do you think the soul exists?
[10:16] ---
    You mean that thing about how
    the moment a person dies,
[10:19] ---
    their body becomes 21 grams lighter?
[10:21] ---
    This conversation has
    suddenly taken an occult turn, huh?
[10:24] ---
    I don't know anything about
    how credible all of this is,
[10:27] ---
    but supposing that the
    phenomenon of a soul does exist,
[10:31] ---
    what happened to Kuriba's soul
    when she was split into two people?
[10:37] ---
    Just supposing that one of
    the split Kuribas were to lose her life,
[10:42] ---
    it's hard to imagine that the other Kuriba
[10:45] ---
    in a separate location would die
    at the same time, right?
[10:49] ---
    When she was split into two people,
    did her soul also split,
[10:54] ---
    and become a second soul?
    And once her soul was split into two,
[10:59] ---
    after being put back together,
    her body became one whole.
[11:04] ---
    Okay, where would the
    leftover soul have gone, then?
[11:08] ---
    In other words, is there a soul or whatever
[11:11] ---
    dwelling inside the mechanical body
    that would be put together?
[11:15] ---
    Are you seriously asking that?
[11:16] ---
    Wha--? I was just using the word "soul"
    so that you wouldn't be lost!
[11:22] ---
    For that matter, what does any of
    this have to do with Indian Poker?
[11:26] ---
    Also, if you found out who actually created it,
[11:28] ---
    couldn't you report that to Judgment
    or Antiskill and be done with it?
[11:32] ---
    I could...
[11:33] ---
    However, before I do, I wanted
    to have you break into the institute
[11:38] ---
    and verify the outcome of Kuriba's experiment.
[11:42] ---
    Huh?
[11:43] ---
    I could do it myself, but assuming
    there's actually a mechanical person there,
[11:48] ---
    and we happened to bump into each other,
    that would be trouble, right?
[11:51] ---
    It's not clear whether my brainwashing
    would work on such a mind.
[11:56] ---
    It would be safer to have a muscle-head
    like you there in that eventuality.
[11:59] ---
    Okay, but why should I?
[12:01] ---
    Because if an application for the
    soul generation experiment were found,
[12:07] ---
    how many more hundreds of people
    would meet a similar fate?
[12:11] ---
    They would need subjects to verify
    their results, such as Child Errors,
[12:15] ---
    or perhaps even human clones.
[12:19] ---
    Um, and... it would not be
    worth the trouble and expense
[12:23] ---
    of building a cloning facility
    solely for this experiment.
[12:28] ---
    So just take it easy.
[12:30] ---
    I'm not asking you to do
    this for nothing, of course.
[12:34] ---
    The Project Level 6 Sisters--
[12:37] ---
    didn't you want them to be able to live
    in normal society someday down the road?
[12:44] ---
    But the obstacles in the way
    of that happening are so great.
[12:49] ---
    Wouldn't my ability to win people over
[12:53] ---
    and my network of contacts be
    useful when the time comes?
[12:55] ---
    Shokuho, why are you so intent
    on involving yourself in this?
[13:00] ---
    I don't want to find myself indebted to you,
[13:03] ---
    so let's make a deal.
[13:06] ---
    You mean it about those girls, right?
[13:09] ---
    As far as this matter goes, at least,
[13:11] ---
    I promise.
[13:14] ---
    What was that whole charade about?
[13:17] ---
    Just having a harebrained
    experiment that could claim victims
[13:21] ---
    would be enough to get Mikoto
    to go into action on her own.
[13:25] ---
    And Misaki, you don't
    really care how things look
[13:27] ---
    when it comes to helping
    the Sisters, do you? And yet,
[13:32] ---
    "Let's make a deal." "You mean it?" "I promise."
[13:36] ---
    How long has that tsundere quid pro quo business
[13:38] ---
    to cover your embarrassment been going on--
[13:42] ---
    You know, I could just as
    easily break in and investigate.
[13:45] ---
    Or did you want to see how deep
    Mikoto's feelings for the Sisters ran?
[13:50] ---
    Buzz off, will you, Mitori?
[13:52] ---
    Are you showing off your voyeurism
    just to wind me up?
[13:55] ---
    Oh, no.
[13:57] ---
    I don't have that kind of time to waste.
    I have a message from Keitz.
[14:01] ---
    He says that he's tracked down
    where the real Kuriba Ryoko is.
[14:05] ---
    Are you sure you must go out?
[14:08] ---
    At this hour?
[14:09] ---
    Mm-hmm, I made a little deal
    and was asked to do something.
[14:13] ---
    For whom is this for, exactly?
[14:15] ---
    For whom would you go out
    and leave me here all alone?
[14:19] ---
    This isn't even a little bit
    what you're thinking.
[14:23] ---
    Handle the head resident for me
    if she comes around, okay?
[14:25] ---
    Well, I suppose I can do that.
[14:28] ---
    If anything happens,
    you'll be the first person I call.
[14:33] ---
    Well, what can I say to that?
[14:37] ---
    "#21 Doppelganger"
[14:37] ---
    Come back safely.
[14:43] ---
    I haven't dressed up like this in a while.
[14:44] ---
    "...eyewitness testimony from staff..."
    "...teenage boy with lightning..."
[14:45] ---
    Last time, they thought I was a boy at first.
[14:50] ---
    Hmm, maybe I should have gone
    with something more frilly.
[15:03] ---
    All green. Good work.
[15:08] ---
    Hey,
[15:09] ---
    how long are these routine tests going to go on?
[15:12] ---
    I want to leave the facility already--
[15:14] ---
    Oh, no,
[15:15] ---
    this experiment is something
    unprecedented, you understand.
[15:19] ---
    Chief...
[15:21] ---
    We have to be extra cautious
    when doing these follow-up exams.
[15:27] ---
    I think you're worrying too much.
[15:30] ---
    Good grief, this confined living
    is going to go on forever.
[15:48] ---
    Whoops.
[15:52] ---
    Well, shoot.
[15:54] ---
    I got that from my mother.
[15:59] ---
    I got that mug from my mother
    before coming to Academy City.
[16:04] ---
    I know it. But...
[16:09] ---
    I can't remember my mother.
    And it's not just her--
[16:14] ---
    my father, and my friends from my hometown...
[16:17] ---
    I can't remember much of anything
    from before I came to Academy City.
[16:21] ---
    No, even after I moved to Academy City...
[16:25] ---
    I can vividly remember things
    that happened when I was split it two.
[16:29] ---
    I just don't remember anything from before that.
[16:32] ---
    Is that an aftereffect of the experiment?
[16:40] ---
    Am I...
[16:42] ---
    Kuriba Ryoko?
[16:45] ---
    Am I...
[16:48] ---
    Am I... human?
[16:55] ---
    Now then...
[16:57] ---
    Whoa!
[17:00] ---
    Did they know I was breaking in?!
[17:07] ---
    Huh?!
[17:15] ---
    She's not here?
[17:17] ---
    Those banners should have
    been able to support 100 kilos.
[17:20] ---
    But no. She must weigh a ton.
[17:24] ---
    Then, could she have been...?
[17:27] ---
    She ran away?!
[17:29] ---
    Yes, sir. She destroyed the exterior wall,
[17:31] ---
    and jumped from the upper floor
    and out of the facility.
[17:34] ---
    She jumped?! She's supposed
    to have a sense of self-preservation!
[17:39] ---
    Well, the only things that are
    malfunctioning from the shock of the fall
[17:43] ---
    are her GPS and fast-acting restraints.
[17:46] ---
    This suggests that it was a premeditated,
    carefully-calculated risk.
[17:51] ---
    Additionally, most of the research data
    that was caught in the blast was lost.
[17:55] ---
    Reconstructing it will be very difficult.
[17:57] ---
    What?! Th-The damage
    is isolated to just here, right?!
[18:01] ---
    Yes, sir. Nowhere else was affected.
[18:03] ---
    O-Okay. Whatever, just hurry up
    and recover the Doppelganger.
[18:09] ---
    "Shinasame University DNA Map Analysis Lab"
[18:11] ---
    Come to think of it, weren't you selling
    some kind of cards before this?
[18:14] ---
    Oh yeah, those?
[18:16] ---
    Huh? What are you doing in here, lady?
[18:19] ---
    You wouldn't happen to be a ghost
    that haunts this place, would you?
[18:23] ---
    Oh, but you have a body and everything.
[18:26] ---
    So why don't you and I have a nice--
[18:31] ---
    Bodies...
[18:33] ---
    People's thoughts dwell in the brain.
    Life dwells in the heart.
[18:38] ---
    Emotions dwell in the face.
[18:40] ---
    So...
[18:42] ---
    ...if you drive the soul out of a body,
    do you think it can be made vacant?
[18:58] ---
    What, already?! I can't concentrate!
[19:03] ---
    Ah, forgive the late hour.
    I'm with the management company.
[19:07] ---
    We've had some trouble with the water tanks.
[19:09] ---
    The repairs are done, but we're checking
    if the water quality is all right--
[19:12] ---
    There's no problem here, now leave me alone!
[19:15] ---
    All right, can I get you
    to sign your consent, please?
[19:18] ---
    It's a regulation, you understand.
[19:21] ---
    Forgive me, but I'm very busy,
    so let's hurry and--
[19:25] ---
    You weren't on the camera--
[19:28] ---
    Whoops.
[19:29] ---
    Sorry to be so abrupt.
    I wonder if we could have a quick word.
[19:34] ---
    Wh-Who are you people?!
[19:36] ---
    It's not like I'm going to bite,
    so I don't want you to be afraid.
[19:41] ---
    The third-ranked? Railgun?!
[19:46] ---
    You're not here from the research lab, right?
[19:49] ---
    Not really. I was just running down
    Indian Poker and came across you.
[19:53] ---
    And I was just roped into doing this by her.
[19:57] ---
    But after seeing what I saw,
    I can't very well not ask you about it.
[20:01] ---
    What you saw?
[20:02] ---
    I watched as your cyborg
    broke out a little while ago.
[20:07] ---
    Broke out? So, it finally happened.
[20:11] ---
    So then you knew about that thing.
[20:13] ---
    Yeah.
[20:14] ---
    The chief and other researchers
    called her "Doppelganger."
[20:19] ---
    I saw her on the monitor right after my surgery.
[20:22] ---
    A mechanical puppet who identifies
    herself as a human--as Kuriba Ryoko.
[20:28] ---
    The chief and the others were terribly excited.
[20:31] ---
    Soul generation--they said it
    was uncharted territory.
[20:35] ---
    You're saying that there's
    a soul inside that machine, too?
[20:39] ---
    Honestly, even after seeing it myself,
    I only half believe it.
[20:43] ---
    But assuming that such a
    phenomenon has actually happened,
[20:47] ---
    it could create some extremely serious problems.
[20:50] ---
    Serious? It may be a lot tougher,
    compared to flesh-and-blood people,
[20:56] ---
    but it is just a
    healthcare-based machine, right?
[20:58] ---
    It isn't built for combat.
    Is having just one of them really a threat?
[21:03] ---
    I told them that someday,
    she would realize that she isn't human,
[21:08] ---
    but they said "Then we'll
    get some more data from that,"
[21:11] ---
    and "The lower levels of the building
    have layer after layer of security,
[21:15] ---
    plus, she has a shutdown device
    implanted, so it's okay."
[21:19] ---
    Everyone refused to listen to
    what kind of danger that thing posed.
[21:29] ---
    Artificial skin.
[21:38] ---
    Well, it's important to look the part,
    after all. And while I'm at it...
[21:49] ---
    Found her. An abandoned
    facility in School District 20.
[21:55] ---
    You were in there a long time,
    Yakkun. Huge dump?
[21:59] ---
    --Or are we having a lady's day today?
[22:00] ---
    --Huh?!
    --Or are we having a lady's day today?
[22:01] ---
    Knock it off, Naru. Don't you realize
    the position we've been placed in?
[22:06] ---
    Quite correct.
[22:09] ---
    You had a big job to do.
    A request straight from the governing board,
[22:13] ---
    and you guys messed it up.
[22:16] ---
    You may have been going up against that monster,
[22:18] ---
    but you were powerless to stop him
    and came running back in disgrace.
[22:21] ---
    Your reputation as a dark side
    subsidiary organization is in the pits.
[22:25] ---
    If you make one more mistake...
[22:27] ---
    We get it. If we screw up this mission,
    we're as good as stray dogs.
[22:32] ---
    I wish stray dogs is all we would be.
[22:34] ---
    Now that we're clear, get on the stick,
    you leftover-eating Scavengers.

    Hmph, she talks down to us
    just like a self-important teacher.

    "Shinasame University DNA Map Analysis Lab"
[00:01] ---
    I'm just saying,
[00:03] ---
    I want to forget all about
    our earlier screw up right away.
[00:06] ---
    And that's the reason why we're
    doing this detail-oriented job, right?
[00:10] ---
    I don't mean little contracted-out jobs
    like this one, but bigger jobs,
[00:13] ---
    where we can boost
    our reputation with a real bang!
[00:15] ---
    Then maybe we can get
    the team name I've been hoping for!
[00:19] ---
    Team name? You mean like ITEM or SCHOOL?
[00:23] ---
    That's right! How does "HYENA" grab you?
[00:25] ---
    Yuck. That's repulsive.
[00:27] ---
    Is that even something you can give yourself?
[00:29] ---
    Quiet.
[00:32] ---
    The puppet isn't here.
[00:34] ---
    It's Naru's fault for
    wanting to get popsicles.

    can escape from my Predator.
[01:17] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:25] ---
    The risk the Doppelganger poses?
[02:28] ---
    Yeah, or more accurately,
    I should say the risk posed by her "soul."
[02:33] ---
    Soul?
[02:34] ---
    Kuriba Ryoko, do you,
    a scientist, believe in such a thing?
[02:40] ---
    It's hypothesized that what
    we call a soul is linked to the body.
[02:45] ---
    When the body ceases to function,
    the soul also goes away.
[02:50] ---
    But if the Doppelganger
    has a soul dwelling within her,
[02:53] ---
    it is only temporarily stuck
    within the machinery.
[02:57] ---
    Even if the vessel is broken, it does
    not go away, it just becomes untethered.
[03:03] ---
    An untethered soul will spread out
    from the vessel into its surroundings.
[03:07] ---
    This ordinarily impossible "free soul"
[03:10] ---
    could then possess any material
    and control it as it pleases.
[03:14] ---
    Worst case scenario, I think that it
    could even swallow up Academy City itself
[03:19] ---
    and take control of it.
[03:21] ---
    Swallow up Academy City?
[03:23] ---
    In other words, you're saying
    that it would be highly risky
[03:27] ---
    to physically destroy the
    Doppelganger's body or "vessel"?
[03:32] ---
    Have you mentioned this to the laboratory?
[03:34] ---
    Yes, I have. But the chief and the others
    are so caught up in their success,
[03:38] ---
    they couldn't accept any negative views.
[03:40] ---
    Still,
[03:42] ---
    what can they do if the
    Doppelganger decides to harm itself?
[03:47] ---
    That probably won't happen.
    No, I should say it can't happen.
[03:52] ---
    The artificial body that started out
    being a cyborg has a safety--
[03:56] ---
    a self-preservation function built into it.
[03:59] ---
    Because of its cyborg nature,
[04:01] ---
    shutting down any mechanical functions
    would directly affect the biologicals,
[04:05] ---
    so it is programmed not to perform
    any action that would cause more than
[04:10] ---
    a certain level of damage to itself.
[04:15] ---
    That safety was your doing?
[04:17] ---
    Yes. The Doppelganger employs artificial muscles
    that contract through chemical interaction,
[04:22] ---
    immunosuppressive agents that inhibit the
    body's rejection response where it makes contact
[04:26] ---
    and a number of other
    technologies that I developed.
[04:31] ---
    Your circulation of Indian Poker has
    to do with the Doppelganger, doesn't it?
[04:37] ---
    What makes you think that?
[04:39] ---
    Because the time when you learned
    about the Doppelganger's existence
[04:42] ---
    overlaps with the time when
    those cards started going around.
[04:45] ---
    It's only natural to assume
    the two are connected.
[04:49] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
    Indian Poker allows someone else
[04:54] ---
    to acquire a person's experiences
    and skills through their dreams.
[04:58] ---
    By exchanging through dreams the insights
[05:00] ---
    that people are unlikely
    to come across in real-life society,
[05:03] ---
    we would expect there
    to be radical leaps of thought.
[05:07] ---
    While I might be unable
    to work out a solution myself,
[05:11] ---
    those cards might come across
    someone who can reverse the situation.
[05:14] ---
    By creating a fad that boosts
    the common denominator,
[05:16] ---
    it becomes a matter
    of probability and statistics.
[05:19] ---
    Maybe you think it's kind of
    a roundabout way of doing things.
[05:21] ---
    But after pursuing what I could do myself,
    this is what I came up with.
[05:25] ---
    I don't care if you think
    any less of me for it.
[05:28] ---
    Now excuse me, but I have to go.
    You interrupted me in the middle of my work.
[05:33] ---
    I'll make sure to do something
    about the Doppelganger.
[05:37] ---
    You don't need to get involved.
[05:42] ---
    You don't seem to like her too much.
[05:46] ---
    I know that Kuriba Ryoko
    is a victim in this weird situation,
[05:49] ---
    --and I don't have any right to say
    anything about her in all of this,
[05:53] ---
    --You're free to leave now.
    --and I don't have any right to say
    anything about her in all of this,
[05:55] ---
    but I don't care if this was
    all too much for her alone,
[05:57] ---
    using Indian Poker to rope a bunch
    of other people into the middle of this
[06:02] ---
    kind of bothers me, I guess.
[06:05] ---
    Well, everyone has their own circumstances.
[06:12] ---
    Should I have entered into
    a partnership with Misaka Mikoto?
[06:18] ---
    No. I doubt the chief and
    the others will do anything as foolish
[06:21] ---
    as destroying the Doppelganger.
[06:24] ---
    I shouldn't ham-handedly
    disrupt the current situation.
[06:27] ---
    Time will sort everything out.
[06:29] ---
    Miahilin--a drug used for the
    aftereffects of cyborg treatments.
[06:33] ---
    Easy to obtain, but not many people
    order the high-quality version.
[06:38] ---
    I just had to access the
    pharmaceutical company's database
[06:42] ---
    and narrowing it down from there wasn't hard.
[06:44] ---
    Me? The Doppel!
[06:53] ---
    You're slow.
[06:55] ---
    Maybe you're too much of a shut-in
    and need some more exercise.
[06:58] ---
    You also look like you're overworked
    and not getting enough sleep.
[07:01] ---
    You need to make sure
    you're eating right, too.
[07:04] ---
    You know, maybe it's
    the medical equipment talking,
[07:07] ---
    but I can't help but be concerned.
[07:09] ---
    What are you after?
    Are you here to take my place?
[07:14] ---
    Or have you found a procedure
    to drive my soul out of me?
[07:19] ---
    Could be.
[07:20] ---
    Either way, you end up no longer existing.
[07:25] ---
    Sorry,
[07:26] ---
    but I'm not ready for that yet.
[07:35] ---
    She had a contingency plan in place.
[07:38] ---
    But one that didn't hurt me and
    was meant to keep me here, which means...
[07:45] ---
    What was that?
[07:47] ---
    A truck came sliding toward me?
[07:48] ---
    You've got good reflexes, don't you?
[07:51] ---
    I was thinking of turning you
    into a wax figure sandwich.
[08:00] ---
    Reducing frictional coefficient
    of these fixtures to zero!
[08:03] ---
    Take this!
[08:08] ---
    O-O-Oh, crap!
[08:11] ---
    Yeah, right!
[08:22] ---
    Well? Your limbs may be one thing,
    but when your whole body has been caught,
[08:26] ---
    it's pretty hard to pluck off
    any parts to escape, isn't it?
[08:28] ---
    Well, come on! If you just stand around,
[08:30] ---
    the affected region is
    just going to keep expanding!
[08:38] ---
    Paper?
[08:44] ---
    Capture complete!
[08:45] ---
    That was a piece of cake, all right.
[08:47] ---
    Seike,
[08:48] ---
    just before we made contact,
    there was a woman who looked just like this.
[08:52] ---
    The possibility that they switched places,
    while low, is still not zero.
[08:56] ---
    Just to be safe, go and check it out for me.
[08:58] ---
    You're always such
    a slave driver. All right, I will.
[09:04] ---
    Now...
[09:05] ---
    all that's left is to take this thing
    to the designated location.
[09:09] ---
    Hmm, you look quite a bit
    different than in the report.
[09:13] ---
    Must have thought it would be easier
    to blend in on the streets like this.
[09:16] ---
    Scrap iron trying desperately to be human...
[09:20] ---
    But doing this only approximates
    the look on the outside,
[09:23] ---
    and just serves to remind you
    that you're an artificial creation inside.
[09:28] ---
    You poor thing.
[09:31] ---
    As if. Was that a little too occult there?
[09:34] ---
    You watch too many dramas.
[09:35] ---
    Leader, you're such a poet.
[09:37] ---
    Incidentally...
[09:39] ---
    ...as an artificial creation,
[09:41] ---
    my perception of pain is
    represented digitally.
[09:45] ---
    For my own information, would you
    show me what reactions are correct?
[09:50] ---
    Why are you letting up on her, Naru?!
[09:52] ---
    I'm at full power! Except the paper
    isn't responding to me! But why?!
[09:58] ---
    Impossible! According
    to the specs in our materials,
[10:00] ---
    she shouldn't be able
    to break free from Naru!
[10:03] ---
    Even your extremities make bizarre motions.
[10:06] ---
    I wonder if, in human terms,
    this would be expressed as being "comical."
[10:12] ---
    Why, you!
[10:13] ---
    Let go of Leader!
[10:16] ---
    I think I'll gouge out her eyeballs next.
[10:20] ---
    Stop that!
[10:26] ---
    The artificial body that started out
    being a cyborg has a safety--
[10:30] ---
    a self-preservation function built into it.
[10:33] ---
    It is programmed not to perform
    any action that would cause more than
[10:38] ---
    a certain level of damage to itself.
[10:45] ---
    Who... are you?
[10:49] ---
    Hmm, if she's bleeding, I can assume
    that she's well and truly human.
[10:56] ---
    If the other three see her as being
    an honor student, they might kill her.
[11:01] ---
    I've confirmed who she is,
    so I could just let her go...
[11:07] ---
    What are you doing there?
[11:09] ---
    Uh... picking on a wimp.
[11:12] ---
    For that matter, who do you think you are?
[11:15] ---
    Some kind of hero that arrives
    when a girl finds herself in trouble?
[11:21] ---
    Where did you...?
[11:24] ---
    Wha--?!
[11:27] ---
    Are you okay?
[11:29] ---
    "#22 Scavenger"
[11:30] ---
    Why...?
[11:34] ---
    When I was little,
    I was involved in a building collapse.
[11:38] ---
    My life was saved by a
    lung transplant from my mother.
[11:44] ---
    But afterward, my mother,
    who wasn't very strong to begin with,
[11:47] ---
    carried on in what no one
    would call good health,
[11:50] ---
    and as I grew up,
    I devoted myself to Academy City,
[11:54] ---
    to learn about cyborg technology
    in order to treat my mother.
[11:59] ---
    After putting in my effort
    and starting to see some results,
[12:03] ---
    I learned that my mother
    had taken a downturn.
[12:06] ---
    Pulmonary edema and an associated infection.
[12:09] ---
    My mother's body was nearing
    the breaking point.
[12:13] ---
    The doctor said that administering drugs
    could slow her decline temporarily,
[12:17] ---
    but after a year, or two at the most,
    we couldn't expect to see any results.
[12:23] ---
    I would have to develop cyborg parts
    for all of the affected areas.
[12:28] ---
    But I was profoundly short on data.
[12:32] ---
    With the absolute number of
    cyborg treatments being so low,
[12:35] ---
    I was extremely hard pressed to collect
    the data for all the necessary regions.
[12:41] ---
    I wasn't going to make it
    the way things were headed.
[12:45] ---
    Chief,
[12:46] ---
    what is the word on that plan I proposed?
[12:49] ---
    Hmm? Oh, that one?
    It would be an unprecedented experiment,
[12:54] ---
    so we can't find any volunteers--
[12:55] ---
    I'll do it.
[12:59] ---
    By dividing myself in half,
[13:01] ---
    we would gather exhaustive
    data on my whole body,
[13:08] ---
    and I would be both
    the observer and the subject.
[13:12] ---
    In a sense, one could call it
    the most ideal circumstance possible.
[13:17] ---
    I swear...
[13:19] ---
    That seems to be the shape of things,
    as far as I was able to investigate.
[13:25] ---
    Why didn't she say anything about that?
[13:27] ---
    She's probably just not gullible
    enough to trust anyone
[13:31] ---
    who suddenly forced themselves
    into the picture under a false identity.
[13:34] ---
    Okay, but even so...
[13:36] ---
    Maybe she feels responsible
    for the creation of the Doppelganger
[13:40] ---
    in the course of her pursuing
    her personal goal of treating her mother.
[13:46] ---
    I believe that's a feeling
    you aren't entirely unfamiliar with.
[13:51] ---
    Incidentally, by her calculations,
[13:54] ---
    if Indian Poker keeps
    spreading the way it is currently,
[13:57] ---
    then statistically speaking,
    in two more months,
[13:59] ---
    a method of obliterating
    the so-called soul will surface.
[14:03] ---
    So, until then...
[14:05] ---
    She was probably planning
    to keep the secret all to herself.
[14:11] ---
    All to... herself...
[14:17] ---
    Yes?
[14:18] ---
    Kuroko, how are things there?
[14:20] ---
    The head resident was in a sour mood,
[14:22] ---
    and I had an awful time pulling
    the wool over her eyes.
[14:26] ---
    She might come knocking again,
    so please come back right away, okay?
[14:30] ---
    Actually, it looks like this is going
    to take a little while longer.
[14:33] ---
    I think I can make it back before
    today turns into tomorrow, though.
[14:37] ---
    Aww... Very well, I will come up
    with something else, then.
[14:40] ---
    Honestly, this is turning
    into a thankless job.
[14:43] ---
    Look, I promise to make it up
    to you sometime soon.
[14:46] ---
    Do you really mean it, Sissy?!
[14:48] ---
    --Then we can share the
    same bed until morning--
[14:49] ---
    --Something other than that. Bye now.
    --Then we can share the same bed until morning--
[15:00] ---
    This must be quite the
    ordeal for Miss Misaka.
[15:04] ---
    Is that...
[15:05] ---
    ...an Electromaster?
[15:08] ---
    Who's that?
[15:09] ---
    I don't know. I just ran into
    the Doppelganger, though.
[15:13] ---
    I think the two must be related.
[15:16] ---
    Earlier, I think I might have
    come across with a poor attitude.
[15:20] ---
    That was all on me.
[15:23] ---
    I know you must have your
    own reasons for what you're doing,
[15:27] ---
    but for whatever you
    can't handle on your own,
[15:29] ---
    I hope you'll turn to me.
[15:31] ---
    So let me take care of this.
[15:38] ---
    I'm grateful.
[15:41] ---
    All done?
[15:44] ---
    I'm not actually planning on going
    after Little Miss Patchwork there anymore.
[15:48] ---
    Not now that I know
    she isn't the target I'm after.
[15:52] ---
    But never mind her,
[15:53] ---
    are you going to amuse me now?
[15:57] ---
    If you're not after her, then there's
    no reason to mix it up with you.
[16:00] ---
    What's wrong? Don't hold back for my sake.
[16:03] ---
    I may not look it, but I'm carrying
    the same package as you.
[16:07] ---
    Huh?
[16:08] ---
    Or is the hero going to chicken out on me?
[16:13] ---
    I'm not exactly a hero.
[16:15] ---
    I just don't like picking
    on those weaker than me.
[16:20] ---
    O-ho...
[16:23] ---
    ...pretty big talk.
[16:25] ---
    Then let me show you just how much I've got!
[16:30] ---
    Sorry.
[16:31] ---
    I know we were told to
    capture it in one piece.
[16:33] ---
    Mm-mm, if you hadn't done it,
    Naru, I would have.
[16:38] ---
    Ugh, it really hurts...
[16:40] ---
    Just a moment. I'll mix up
    a painkiller for you right away.
[16:53] ---
    If that thing's still running,
    then we can still accomplish our mission!
[16:57] ---
    Both of you, get back!
[16:59] ---
    Better to take that thing...
[17:01] ---
    ...and deliver a nice, thorough...
[17:02] ---
    ...crushing blow, right here and now!
[17:07] ---
    Wh-Why is my paper protecting that thing?
[17:17] ---
    Naru's...
[17:18] ---
    My...
[17:19] ---
    ...paper got taken away!
[17:20] ---
    How mean. I made proper skin and everything.
[17:24] ---
    Well, this is a bit unwieldly,
    but that doesn't hinder its movement.
[17:35] ---
    Being able to freely adjust
    the friction coefficient like I can,
[17:38] ---
    I'm not hurt by these steel beams.
    Bullets and blades are also pointless.
[17:43] ---
    Sure, I might not be able
    to deflect your electric shocks,
[17:47] ---
    but the beams that are
    scattered about so nicely
[17:49] ---
    will serve as grounding.
    If the falling debris crushes you, so be it.
[17:55] ---
    But if you're lucky enough to deflect all that,
    I'll take you down directly...
[17:59] ---
    Huh?!
[18:00] ---
    Why are the beams coming this way?!
[18:03] ---
    Your ability, huh?
[18:04] ---
    So you're not an Electromaster,
    but a psychokinesist?
[18:07] ---
    Or no, a magnetism manipulator?
    How can you control so much mass at once?
[18:11] ---
    This is bad. Even if I take no damage,
    my grounding shielding is disappearing.
[18:16] ---
    You leave me no choice!
    I've underestimated you!
[18:20] ---
    This is going to cost me a finger,
[18:22] ---
    but you won't have time to dodge this.
[18:24] ---
    Even if you shock me unconscious,
    my momentum will still jab you!
[18:29] ---
    Looks like I'm the one...
[18:31] ---
    ...who underestimated you.
[18:34] ---
    You're a girl? Wait a minute, you're...
[18:39] ---
    Hey, look at this!
[18:40] ---
    It says I'll have a super-successful week!
[18:42] ---
    Horoscopes? How many people in Academy City
[18:45] ---
    even believe in anything as occult as those?
[18:48] ---
    Well, I didn't believe in
    them either, until just recently,
[18:52] ---
    but the week we got trounced by that guy...
[18:55] ---
    ...it said that the greatest encounter
    of my life would happen,
[18:57] ---
    that I would have a terrible failure
    at work as a result, and I'd lose credibility!
[19:01] ---
    My unlucky colors were red and white!
[19:04] ---
    Wow, they really got your number there.
[19:07] ---
    I know, right?
[19:08] ---
    Incidentally, it says that this week,
    I'll have a great encounter,
[19:10] ---
    a possible catalyst for work
    to take a turn for the better,
[19:13] ---
    and that I should be positive
    toward those I care about.
[19:17] ---
    Well, horoscopes notwithstanding,
[19:20] ---
    we really did draw the
    short straw on that one.
[19:23] ---
    Of the 2.3 million people in Academy City,
    only seven of them are Level 5s.
[19:28] ---
    It was simply a rare case of
    encountering one out of all those people.
[19:32] ---
    But there's no way we'll run up
    against another one any time soon.
[19:38] ---
    The third-ranked Level 5, Railgun...
[19:42] ---
    I guess the occult really is...
[19:47] ---
    ...pretty unreliable...
[19:52] ---
    Well, that's not enough to kill you.
[19:56] ---
    Then again, I can't ask you
    any questions now, either.
[20:06] ---
    That just leaves one of you
    who's still able to move.
[20:09] ---
    Naru!
[20:10] ---
    What do I do? There's no way
    I can run away while carrying both of them.
[20:14] ---
    Okay, then...!
[20:19] ---
    Oh, you're just going to leave
    your friends here and run?
[20:25] ---
    Blasting won't work.
[20:27] ---
    Assuming it can compensate
    for any damage using other material,
[20:29] ---
    it would be pointless.
[20:30] ---
    So then...
[20:32] ---
    ...if I can freeze it...!
[20:37] ---
    I did it!
[20:38] ---
    Yakumaru!
[20:40] ---
    Wrong one.
[20:41] ---
    Huh?
[20:45] ---
    Paper?!
[20:49] ---
    Now we're even for before.
[20:51] ---
    This scrap iron can imitate more than
    just outward appearances, you see.
[20:57] ---
    No...!
[21:00] ---
    Huh?
[21:05] ---
    Give those back.
[21:07] ---
    I'm gonna catch a cold!
[21:10] ---
    Yakkun!
[21:18] ---
    I was originally planning to let you
    return alive, so you could give a report...
[21:24] ---
    ...but I guess I'll need to press
    my point even deeper.
[21:31] ---
    We should be okay,
    now that we've made it this far...
[21:34] ---
    You saved us, Naru.
[21:36] ---
    Huh? Heh-heh, as Scavenger's ace,
    I'd say that's only natural.
[21:42] ---
    But now what do we do, Leader?
[21:44] ---
    First thing we do is rendezvous with Seike,
    who should be back by now.
[21:48] ---
    If you mean the one in the sailor uniform,
[21:50] ---
    the kid is laid out on the ground back there.
[21:52] ---
    When someone messes with me,
    I take them down. I take it you're all together?
[22:00] ---
    Railgun?!
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    This is bad, this is bad, this is bad!

    "#23 Possession"
[23:27] ---
    We're still traumatized by the memory
[23:28] ---
    of Academy City's first ranked
    beating us to a pulp,
[23:31] ---
    and now we're facing the
    third-ranked Railgun?!
[23:33] ---
    No, wait a second! If we can pull this off,
    we might just make our comeback!
[23:38] ---
    And all of that just took 0.1 seconds!

[00:02] ---
    How is the worst-case scenario,
[00:04] ---
    where Academy City's third-ranked
    Level 5 is after us, happening?
[00:07] ---
    What the hell is this?!
[00:09] ---
    You wouldn't be some organization
    that's up to no good, would you?
[00:13] ---
    Take it easy. I haven't heard
    of any rival organizations
[00:16] ---
    who are after the results of
    the Doppelganger research.
[00:18] ---
    This is risky, since I don't know
    the reason why she was fighting Seike, but...
[00:23] ---
    Hold on. We're a recovery team,
[00:26] ---
    formally hired by the research institution
    that owns the Doppelganger.
[00:31] ---
    The person you came across is indeed
    probably one of our team members.
[00:35] ---
    But I hope you realize that due
    to the nature of our mission,
[00:39] ---
    we're under mandatory orders to bar
    any outsiders from getting involved.
[00:42] ---
    If your presence here doesn't
    run counter to our objective,
[00:45] ---
    what would you say to a united front?
[00:47] ---
    Huh?
[00:48] ---
    I hate to do this to you, Seike,
    but your revenge will have to wait.
[00:52] ---
    We need to use her to complete the mission.
[00:55] ---
    I understand that you have trouble trusting us.
[00:57] ---
    So for now, I'm okay with just
    providing what information we have.
[01:02] ---
    What do you mean? Was the job
    too much for you to handle alone?
[01:06] ---
    Yes, unfortunately.
    That thing has a strange capability.
[01:10] ---
    When it gets damaged,
    it controls the matter around it,
[01:13] ---
    incorporating it into itself--
[01:14] ---
    Damaged? You hurt the Doppelganger?
[01:18] ---
    Huh?
[01:19] ---
    Is she saying that a legitimate recovery team
[01:21] ---
    wouldn't possibly damage their target?
[01:24] ---
    Not good. How do I explain--?
[01:26] ---
    We were surprised, too.
[01:28] ---
    When we ran into her,
    for some reason, she was already hurt.
[01:31] ---
    You picked up on it?
[01:33] ---
    Of course. We have to act
    like we're not the bad guys here.
[01:37] ---
    Hmm? What are you two talking about?
[01:40] ---
    It was our attacks that broke that thing!
[01:42] ---
    --We forgot we had an idiot with us.
    --We forgot we had an idiot with us.
[01:45] ---
    Ah! I still need to get you bandaged up, Naru!
[01:47] ---
    You must have hit your head
    and scrambled your memory.
[01:51] ---
    She did mention the soul diffusing
    and possessing things.
[01:55] ---
    Does that mean she can
    control the things around her?
[01:59] ---
    It sounded a little far-fetched at first,
    but now I need to see for myself.
[02:03] ---
    We may have gotten
    beaten up by the first-ranked
[02:06] ---
    and been reduced to being dark side stooges,
[02:08] ---
    but now we're going to use the third-ranked
[02:10] ---
    and stage our comeback!
[02:34] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:44] ---
    Hey, Seike!
[03:46] ---
    I know this is the right area...
[03:49] ---
    There you are!
[03:52] ---
    I can't believe Seike got beaten.
[03:54] ---
    That really must be
    the Level 5 Misaka Mikoto, huh?
[03:58] ---
    I'll stay here. You two go and get Seike.
    Then wait for my instructions.
[04:04] ---
    Leader is hurt, too.
    How can she let herself be alone with her?
[04:08] ---
    I'm so worried about her.
[04:10] ---
    She probably thinks that
    having you around will give us away.
[04:15] ---
    Here's our official work request.
[04:17] ---
    Does that answer all your questions?
[04:20] ---
    All right, let's get going.
[04:21] ---
    Wait.
[04:23] ---
    I believe that you've been hired by them.
[04:26] ---
    But if you want to work together,
    I need to know a little more about you.
[04:31] ---
    While evaluating our time fighting Accelerator,
[04:34] ---
    I went over some basic intel
    on the other Level 5s.
[04:37] ---
    Misaka Mikoto has bumped up
    against dark side organizations before,
[04:41] ---
    but she has never voluntarily
    been involved with one.
[04:43] ---
    Right now, what I need
    to do is make an impression.
[04:46] ---
    I just have to be careful not to reveal
    that we're a dark side organization.
[04:49] ---
    Oh, you mean, who I'm with?
[04:51] ---
    The most accessible
    and trustworthy one would be...
[04:54] ---
    I'm with Judgment.
[04:56] ---
    Judgment? You guys? I don't see an arm band.
[05:01] ---
    I have one, of course.
[05:03] ---
    But we're dealing with
    something inhuman on this case,
[05:05] ---
    so I wasn't wearing it since
    we don't need to make any arrests.
[05:09] ---
    It's a phony band, of course.
    It's absurd that I'm pretending to be
[05:12] ---
    a goody-two-shoes who sucks up to teachers.
[05:15] ---
    The one in the sailor uniform
    picked a fight with me.
[05:19] ---
    That's not at all the way
    I know Judgment to operate.
[05:23] ---
    Huh?
[05:24] ---
    Seike is the one who started it?
[05:26] ---
    After promising never to get involved
    with another Level 5 ever again?
[05:29] ---
    You little troublemaker!
[05:31] ---
    Th-That kid is a civilian!
    It's not all that unusual for us to have cases
[05:35] ---
    where we need to turn to those
    with elevated abilities for help, you see.
[05:38] ---
    However, that one has a nasty habit
    of picking fights with strong people.
[05:43] ---
    Th-That one might be too hard to swallow.
[05:46] ---
    Oh, yeah? That makes sense.
[05:49] ---
    Every time I stick my nose
    into Judgment's business...
[05:52] ---
    "Sissy, you are a civilian!"
[05:55] ---
    ...is all I ever hear.
    I guess it's not all that unusual, is it?
[06:00] ---
    That being said,
    I don't like how this is being handled.
[06:03] ---
    I didn't think you brought
    them in on arrest orders.
[06:06] ---
    Y-Yeah, I'll be more careful.
[06:10] ---
    I'm not sure how,
    but I think I got through that safely.
[06:13] ---
    O-Okay then...
[06:15] ---
    Excuse me a second.
[06:17] ---
    Did you manage to find Kuriba-san?
[06:19] ---
    Shokuho...?
[06:21] ---
    --Shokuho?!
    --How did she get my number?
    Oh, during the Daihasei Festival.
[06:23] ---
    --Shokuho Misaki? Another Level 5?!
    --How did she get my number?
    Oh, during the Daihasei Festival.
[06:26] ---
    What was I thinking? The third-ranked
    and fifth-ranked go to the same school!
[06:29] ---
    Naturally, the two Level 5s
    would know each other!
[06:32] ---
    I did happen to see Kuriba Ryoko,
[06:35] ---
    but right before I did, she had
    a run-in with the Doppelganger.
[06:39] ---
    Now I'm chasing the Doppelganger down.
[06:41] ---
    Need some of my help finding it?
[06:44] ---
    No thank you to dragging in
    anyone else who's uninvolved.
[06:47] ---
    Well, okay then.
    Maybe I should meet up with you.
[06:51] ---
    Where are you?
[06:52] ---
    The redevelopment district
    behind the airport bus terminal.
[06:56] ---
    Don't tell me she's coming here, too!
    This is bad! This is really bad!
[07:01] ---
    The fifth-ranked is a mental ability esper!
[07:03] ---
    She'll know I'm lying without a single word!
[07:05] ---
    Th-There's no need for that!
[07:08] ---
    My ability is of the searching variety.
[07:10] ---
    It's more than enough
    to simply track someone down.
[07:12] ---
    In fact, if a mental
    manipulator esper is around,
[07:15] ---
    --the interference makes my sensitivity drop!
    --Aw, I was hoping to keep my ability a secret!
[07:19] ---
    Is there someone else there?
[07:22] ---
    Mm-hmm, someone from Judgment is helping me.
[07:24] ---
    Judgment? Well, whatever. And while I have you,
[07:28] ---
    let me tell you about another
    lead I forgot to mention earlier.
[07:32] ---
    It's a secret about the folks in the tall
    building the Doppelganger escaped from.
[07:37] ---
    What is it?
[07:38] ---
    Institutions that do this kind of shady research
[07:41] ---
    tend to back up their data all over.
[07:45] ---
    But this place is a little strange.
[07:48] ---
    Apparently, their top-secret stuff
    is up in the skies.
[07:51] ---
    The skies?
[07:53] ---
    More precisely, an airship.
[07:55] ---
    Once per month,
    they contact it directly via laser,
[07:59] ---
    as it passes over a designated location.
[08:02] ---
    But other than that,
    its course is entirely random.
[08:05] ---
    Not even the institution
    is sure where it is flying.
[08:09] ---
    And apparently, the ship itself is
    jam-packed with polarizing trickery
[08:12] ---
    and all kinds of other masking.
[08:14] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[08:15] ---
    So, just file that away, okay?
[08:20] ---
    It sounds like the
    fifth-ranked isn't showing up.
[08:23] ---
    That was Miss Shokuho Misaki
    you were speaking with, right?
[08:26] ---
    Hm? Mm-hmm.
[08:28] ---
    I saw her at the Daihasei
    Festival closing ceremonies.
[08:30] ---
    I was surprised by how glamorous
    she looks for a middle-schooler.
[08:33] ---
    She stands alongside you as
    one of Tokiwadai's brightest jewels.
[08:36] ---
    The way she exposed that
    scandal with the governing board
[08:39] ---
    is still fresh in my mind.
    When I found out she uses her ability
[08:44] ---
    to transcribe letters for
    severely handicapped students,
[08:47] ---
    I couldn't help but respect her.
[08:49] ---
    There, by complimenting your partner,
    it puts me in a better light--
[08:52] ---
    Huh? How come?
    That isn't the reaction I was hoping for.
[08:56] ---
    She does more charity work than I expected.
[09:00] ---
    Could she actually be a good person?
[09:01] ---
    --No, there's no way--
    --Ah, I-I just remembered,
[09:03] ---
    we need a way to contact
    each other in case of an emergency!
[09:07] ---
    Here, use this.
[09:08] ---
    It may be a toy,
    but it has a considerable range,
[09:11] ---
    and it only picks up
    the registered user's voice,
[09:13] ---
    so even if there's a lot of noise,
    you'll come in clearly.
[09:15] ---
    And, being a child's toy,
    it's tough, and hard to break.
[09:18] ---
    Why... this character...?
[09:21] ---
    Oh, crap! She must be at that age
    where she hates being treated like a kid!
[09:26] ---
    What do I do? Can I play it off
    like it was just a joke?
[09:30] ---
    Er, I mean...
[09:33] ---
    No, wait!
[09:34] ---
    I was so rattled by hearing Shokuho Misaki,
[09:36] ---
    and it was hard to see
    against the light from behind her,
[09:38] ---
    but Misaka Mikoto's cell phone case
    must be the same character! Probably!
[09:43] ---
    Which is it? The instincts
    I developed from the dark side
[09:45] ---
    are telling me that the next words out
    of my mouth could mean life or death!
[09:49] ---
    Which is it?!
[09:51] ---
    O-Oh, I don't know much about this character,
[09:55] ---
    but it's so cute, I fell in love
    with it right away. It's my favorite...
[10:00] ---
    I mean...
[10:06] ---
    You've got good taste!
[10:08] ---
    Safe!
[10:10] ---
    I peed myself a little.
[10:12] ---
    Okay, how about we go after...
[10:14] ---
    "#23 Possession"
[10:15] ---
    ...the Doppelganger?
[10:30] ---
    Over there.
[10:54] ---
    D-Did you crush it?
[10:56] ---
    I just trapped her inside a concrete cage.
[10:58] ---
    Level 5...
[11:00] ---
    That is some incredible power, all right.
[11:04] ---
    Get back!
[11:06] ---
    I thought that she...
[11:08] ---
    ...was only supposed to affect materials
    around her when she's damaged.
[11:19] ---
    What's more,
[11:20] ---
    I wasn't expecting her to bounce
    this back to me with even greater power.
[11:25] ---
    Is this soul possession?
    It does indeed look as though her will
[11:29] ---
    can have an effect on the things around her.
[11:39] ---
    Wha--?!
[11:40] ---
    Uh-oh!
[11:51] ---
    From the time we crossed paths at the facility,
[11:53] ---
    I considered the possibility
    that we would end up fighting,
[11:58] ---
    but now, I'd welcome the opportunity,
    once I advance a few more stages,
[12:01] ---
    Railgun.
[12:02] ---
    Th-Thanks, you saved me.
[12:05] ---
    What are you talking about?
    You're the one who proposed a united front.
[12:09] ---
    And I would have done so
    even if we didn't have that.
[12:12] ---
    It's lucky for us the tank she threw at us
    didn't have much fuel remaining.
[12:16] ---
    On the other hand, all of the plans
    I had to tie her up just got trashed.
[12:22] ---
    This is bad, though.
    If even a Level 5 has her hands full with this...
[12:26] ---
    Anyhow, let's get after her.
    Do you know where she went?
[12:29] ---
    Huh? Y-Yeah...
[12:32] ---
    There. Moving north-northeast.
[12:35] ---
    If she keeps going that way,
    she'll hit a high-density student dorm area.
[12:38] ---
    Is she trying to blend
    into the crowd there? No...
[12:43] ---
    What have we here? A radar facility?
[12:43] ---
    "Academy City Airport
    Administration Tracking Center"
[12:45] ---
    Come to think of it, that airship
    is carrying all their top-secret info.
[12:50] ---
    Well, yeah. With all of the equipment there,
[12:53] ---
    she just might be able to expose the airship.
[12:56] ---
    So, what reason would she have for doing so?
[13:00] ---
    If it's all based on Miss Kuriba's knowledge,
[13:03] ---
    then the airship may be part of
    their whole system for storing her data.
[13:08] ---
    By blowing the airship to pieces,
[13:10] ---
    maybe it will affect a diffusion of her soul.
[13:14] ---
    Whatever the case,
[13:16] ---
    it sounds like we're better off stopping her.
[13:18] ---
    But once she gets downtown,
    the damage will be...
[13:20] ---
    This radar facility--
[13:22] ---
    "Radar facility" "Warehouse 8086"
[13:22] ---
    it's close to where we were supposed
    to deliver the Doppelganger.
[13:26] ---
    E-Even if we can't restrain it,
    could we change the direction it's heading?
[13:31] ---
    If it keeps going straight,
    we won't be able to avoid any casualties,
[13:34] ---
    but if we lead it over here,
[13:36] ---
    this area is full of warehouses
    and abandoned facilities.
[13:39] ---
    About the only ones there
    would be Skill Out, using it for a hideout.
[13:42] ---
    I get you. Okay, can I assume you'll
    issue the evacuation order to Skill Out?
[13:47] ---
    Huh?
[13:47] ---
    Oh, that's right,
    I'm supposed to be in Judgment.
[13:51] ---
    Y-Yeah, got it. I'll contact you when I'm done.
[13:54] ---
    Okay, I'll leave you to it.
[14:00] ---
    Huh? Skill Out? Who cares about them?
[14:04] ---
    I agree, but it actually works
    in our favor to get Misaka Mikoto
[14:07] ---
    to go through the route we set.
    I'm counting on you.
[14:11] ---
    Fine.
[14:12] ---
    Relocate the Skill Outs in this whole area?
    Do we kick them out one by one?
[14:18] ---
    That would take too much time,
    and if we aren't careful,
[14:20] ---
    we could provoke them into coming after us,
[14:22] ---
    which is the opposite of what we want.
[14:24] ---
    Look, just go hide and watch me.
[14:28] ---
    So then, you know what I told him?
    I don't care if I'm up against a Level 5...
[14:34] ---
    Hmm? Hey, it's a girl!
[14:36] ---
    You're right!
[14:38] ---
    It's actually a girl!
[14:40] ---
    --Hey you, do you know whose territory this is--
[14:43] ---
    --Please... run...!
    --Hey you, do you know whose territory this is--
[14:47] ---
    --She's a hottie!
    --She's a hottie!
[14:48] ---
    There was an industrial accident.
[14:50] ---
    Some toxic gas leaked out. It's only
    a matter of time before it spreads here.
[14:55] ---
    You have to leave now--
[14:56] ---
    H-Hold on just a second.
[14:58] ---
    That's quite a story you're dropping on us.
[15:00] ---
    Yeah.
[15:01] ---
    The factory plans on covering it up!
[15:03] ---
    If Skill Out gets hurt,
    they were illegally squatting here anyway,
[15:06] ---
    so they say it's not that big an issue. Ow!
[15:10] ---
    H-Hey, are you hurt?
[15:12] ---
    I'm fine. I have to hurry
    and go tell the others, too!
[15:16] ---
    As hurt as you are, you're more
    concerned about people like us?
[15:20] ---
    A-All right, we'll go and tell the others.
[15:24] ---
    Yeah. You hurry on and get to safety.
[15:27] ---
    Thank you!
[15:30] ---
    --Go around to the rival teams, too!
    --Don't overlook even a single kitty!
[15:37] ---
    Good grief. Naru, you can come out now.
[15:41] ---
    You don't ask for anything yourself,
    you merely put on a brave front,
[15:44] ---
    and look just miserable enough that
    it doesn't compromise your cuteness.
[15:47] ---
    They didn't stand a chance.
[15:49] ---
    Which one of you hurt my Yakkun?!
[15:51] ---
    I was pretending!
[15:53] ---
    Let's pull this a few more times.
    Having multiple witnesses lends credibility,
[15:57] ---
    and word will spread faster.
[16:00] ---
    Evacuation complete.
[16:02] ---
    There isn't a single person along
    the route we discussed earlier.
[16:05] ---
    Make sure you come through here.
[16:07] ---
    Especially Warehouse 8086.
[16:11] ---
    Copy that!
[16:13] ---
    I told you, it's too soon.
[16:17] ---
    She's being provided with my location.
[16:20] ---
    Is it that girl in the mask?
[16:23] ---
    I knew I should have eliminated her earlier.
[16:29] ---
    It seems like...
[16:31] ---
    I fought something like you
    at the end of summer vacation.
[16:35] ---
    Friend of yours?
[16:41] ---
    "Warehouse 8086"
[16:45] ---
    Hey there.
[16:46] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting so long.
[16:48] ---
    You're late! Do you know how long you've taken?!
[16:51] ---
    This is why I can't stand B-ranked--
[16:54] ---
    So, where is the Doppelganger?
[16:57] ---
    It will be arriving shortly, don't you worry.
[16:59] ---
    What do you mean, arriving?
[17:02] ---
    What is making all that noise?
[17:07] ---
    Oh, here it comes.
    The Doppelganger you requested.
[17:10] ---
    Huh?! How so?!
[17:11] ---
    Oh, it must have put on some weight.
[17:14] ---
    You seem to have neglected to inform us,
[17:17] ---
    but it has the ability
    to suck in the objects around it.
[17:20] ---
    It has no such bug--
[17:23] ---
    No, it couldn't be!
[17:25] ---
    If there is a soul within the Doppelganger,
[17:28] ---
    there's no telling how the soul
    will act if its vessel ever breaks.
[17:32] ---
    Is that what Kuriba was saying?
[17:34] ---
    Okay, but even so, this is...
[17:37] ---
    Our mission...
[17:38] ---
    was to "return the Doppelganger to
    the designated location fully operational."
[17:43] ---
    Oh, and the Doppelganger's current condition
[17:45] ---
    derives from its original functionality,
[17:49] ---
    so we do not recognize it as being abnormal.
[17:51] ---
    So, if you will just sign off this receipt...
[17:53] ---
    There's no way I'm accepting this!
[17:55] ---
    Enough! Start driving!
[17:56] ---
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[17:57] ---
    Huh?
[17:58] ---
    What are you waiting for? Hurry and get going!
[18:01] ---
    I have the pedal to the floor,
    but we aren't going anywhere.
[18:06] ---
    Sign right here.
[18:07] ---
    Is this your doing?!
[18:10] ---
    Stop screwing around!
    You'll be stuck in here, too!
[18:13] ---
    Screwing around?
[18:14] ---
    If we fail, we don't get any more chances!
[18:16] ---
    We've been risking our lives from the start!
[18:18] ---
    But if you prefer, the more
    the merrier when we cash in our chips!
[18:25] ---
    Oh, all right, fine!
[18:28] ---
    There, good enough?
[18:29] ---
    Indeed, it is.
[18:30] ---
    Yakumaru!
[18:31] ---
    Okay!
[18:33] ---
    --We're outta here!
    --We're outta here!
[18:41] ---
    Bye-bye!
[18:42] ---
    We did it, Leader!
[18:43] ---
    That was pretty aggressive, though.
[18:46] ---
    Hey, we got her signature, so...
[18:49] ---
    This way.
[18:50] ---
    The Doppelganger is up ahead--
[18:52] ---
    Doesn't your arm hurt?
[18:54] ---
    If you want, I can take it from here alone.
[18:56] ---
    I-I took a painkiller, so pay it no mind.
[18:59] ---
    If you bail on me in
    the middle of this, we're screwed.
[19:03] ---
    Yeah, that sounds about right.
[19:06] ---
    Wh-What does?
[19:07] ---
    Some of my friends are in Judgment, too.
[19:11] ---
    Even if they get hurt,
    they still try to carry out their duties.
[19:15] ---
    On the one hand, I worry and think
    that they don't have to try so hard,
[19:18] ---
    but on the other, when they
    stick their necks out for others,
[19:21] ---
    I can respect them and put my trust in them.
[19:24] ---
    So I'm going to rely on you, too.
[19:27] ---
    The teacher said she doesn't want you anymore.
[19:31] ---
    She said you don't show any potential,
    so you can't be in the special class.
[19:35] ---
    You poor thing, you!
[19:40] ---
    Forgive me, Misaka Mikoto,
    but my duty isn't to Judgment--
[19:45] ---
    it's to the dark side.
[20:00] ---
    No matter how much I bust her up,
[20:01] ---
    she just keeps regenerating immediately.
[20:06] ---
    That was close! But,
[20:09] ---
    I'm quickly starting to get this.
[20:11] ---
    While my magnetism gets
    more powerful the closer I am,
[20:15] ---
    this thing isn't affected by distance at all.
[20:21] ---
    While I had the upper hand with the steel beams,
[20:24] ---
    and she had it over me
    with the hunks of concrete,
[20:27] ---
    I can only exert force
    through things made of iron,
[20:31] ---
    while I guess she can exert her
    influence over all sorts of matter.
[20:36] ---
    Also...
[20:40] ---
    ...whatever burns up becomes
    charred and crumbles away.
[20:46] ---
    The patina on this "soul possession" business...
[20:48] ---
    ...is quickly starting to rub off, isn't it?
[20:51] ---
    Real-time analysis in the middle of combat...
[20:55] ---
    You're more trouble than I expected, Railgun.
[20:59] ---
    So now...
[21:07] ---
    H-Huh?
[21:11] ---
    Soul possession? Ah,
[21:13] ---
    that thing that Kuriba was talking about.
[21:16] ---
    The whole idea is absurd.
[21:18] ---
    B-But, sir, if that isn't it,
    how else can you explain...
[21:23] ---
    Hello? Hello?
[21:34] ---
    You can't burn all of this away.
[21:38] ---
    Nor can you break it apart.
[21:44] ---
    When faced with such an
    overwhelming amount of mass...
[21:50] ---
    ...what do you do?
[23:24] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:25] ---
    The soul diffuses and possesses stuff?
[23:26] ---
    "Next episode preview"
    "#24 Diffusion"
[23:28] ---
    Is that what that
    colossal monster-like thing is?
[23:30] ---
    Could there be anything more dodgy than that?
[23:32] ---
    People tend to believe
    in what they want to believe.
[23:35] ---
    Like Indian Poker cards
    that make your bust grow bigger.
[23:39] ---
    You're bringing that up again?!

    You can't burn all of this away.
[00:11] ---
    Nor can you break it apart.
[00:18] ---
    When faced with such
    an overwhelming amount of mass...
[00:23] ---
    ...what do you do?
[01:02] ---
    Now you've gone and done it.
[01:04] ---
    Evasion and interception--
[01:07] ---
    I've never done both of them
    at full strength before.
[01:11] ---
    So, you asked how I oppose
    an overwhelming amount of mass?
[01:18] ---
    Well...
[02:14] ---
    Mass...
[02:15] ---
    ...against mass!
[02:41] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[04:22] ---
    That's hard! My iron sand blade
    can't cut through it!
[04:28] ---
    An iron sand puppet?
[04:30] ---
    You can regenerate it
    and alter its form to some degree;
[04:34] ---
    the same as me.
[04:40] ---
    But the parts that make it up are
    too fine and too fragile, aren't they?
[04:44] ---
    I can generate more power than you can.
[04:52] ---
    I will end this before you can regenerate...
[05:08] ---
    Better watch how you touch me.
[05:09] ---
    It could be hazardous.
[05:13] ---
    You see, the dust and iron
    sand bits that comprise my body
[05:16] ---
    are rubbing each other,
[05:18] ---
    and storing up an electrical charge.
[05:21] ---
    Now, if I piggyback on that accumulated charge
[05:26] ---
    and fire off an iron sand blast...
[05:40] ---
    ...I can blow right through even your armor!
[05:45] ---
    I see.
[05:46] ---
    Impressive output. However...
[05:55] ---
    ...it doesn't change the fact
    that I'll end up regenerating...
[06:06] ---
    My parts are fine, which means
    they can make their way inside there.
[06:11] ---
    Just as I thought.
    It looks like you can't control
[06:15] ---
    individual vibrating,
    blade-like grains of iron sand, huh?
[06:20] ---
    I can tell by how it feels like
    they're cutting you up on the inside!
[06:29] ---
    Followed up by another blast...
[06:38] ---
    What?
[06:41] ---
    A high-pressure gas tank?!
[06:43] ---
    And not one with just leftover gas,
    like I hit you with earlier;
[06:47] ---
    this one is loaded.
[06:49] ---
    What would happen
    if I drop this into an urban area?
[07:01] ---
    An exquisite amount of force,
    even from several kilometers away.
[07:06] ---
    All right,
[07:07] ---
    what if we try several of them at once?
[07:17] ---
    Three?!
[07:19] ---
    What, are you trying
    to use up all of my energy?!
[07:27] ---
    It's been a long time since
    I've come over to your place for dinner,
[07:32] ---
    and then stayed over and spent the night.
[07:36] ---
    Is something the matter?
[07:37] ---
    You didn't hear something just now?
    Like a big firework?
[07:41] ---
    Huh? I don't think they're
    holding any events tonight.
[07:47] ---
    Ah! You see?
[07:49] ---
    You're right. What could it be?
[07:52] ---
    Could that be...?
[07:54] ---
    Yes, I would not put that past being Sissy.
[07:57] ---
    But she has not called me.
[08:00] ---
    If anything happens,
    you'll be the first person I call.
[08:04] ---
    Ah! Sissy! I am so frustrated!
[08:10] ---
    Here goes...
[08:12] ---
    ...the last one!
[08:16] ---
    Nice control.
[08:19] ---
    You struck them in such a way
    that they would explode up into the sky,
[08:22] ---
    so they would not cause damage to the city.
[08:25] ---
    The masses of iron sand you used as bullets
[08:28] ---
    now shroud the skies of Academy City.
[08:31] ---
    The percentage of space it occupies
[08:33] ---
    is nothing compared to the amount
    of ash in the air after a volcanic eruption,
[08:37] ---
    but the iron sand powder that
    gets caught up into the stratosphere
[08:41] ---
    will rain down on airborne bodies far and wide.
[08:45] ---
    Regardless of how subtly
    it may try to conceal itself,
[08:48] ---
    interference from solar winds
    will disturb its magnetic field,
[08:52] ---
    and Cinderella will be exposed.
[08:56] ---
    Found it.
[09:08] ---
    Is that all for the gas... tanks...?
[09:12] ---
    Wait...
[09:23] ---
    Huh?!
[09:26] ---
    She's dividing herself up?
[09:28] ---
    No...
[09:32] ---
    Whoa...
[09:34] ---
    She made dummies out of the debris?
[09:37] ---
    Which one's the real one?
[09:47] ---
    Those things I just saw for a second--
[09:51] ---
    Are they gone?
[09:54] ---
    No...
[10:13] ---
    Ow...
[10:17] ---
    Doppelganger!
[10:19] ---
    I have a proposition! Answer me!
[10:23] ---
    I need to talk to you!
[10:25] ---
    Very well.
[10:28] ---
    Come with me.
[10:30] ---
    Huh? Whoa, hold on...
[10:36] ---
    I knew it.
[10:37] ---
    They're hard to make out, but there's
    definitely something thread-like here.
[10:41] ---
    Are these...?
[10:44] ---
    Miss Kuriba?! And...
[10:45] ---
    ...the Doppelganger!
[11:12] ---
    What the Doppelganger is really after...
[11:14] ---
    ...is the airship. Her fight
    with me was a means of finding it,
[11:19] ---
    and the rubble monster was only a distraction?
[11:23] ---
    What is her real objective?
[11:26] ---
    Whatever it is, right now,
[11:28] ---
    I have to rescue Miss Kuriba!
[11:29] ---
    Come on, reach!
[11:40] ---
    "#24 Diffusion"
[11:41] ---
    Now then...
[11:48] ---
    Since you showed up personally,
[11:52] ---
    I will at least listen to your proposal.
[11:57] ---
    Can you give me two months?
[12:02] ---
    Indian Poker--
[12:04] ---
    a device I've spread around that
    uses dreams as a medium for learning.
[12:09] ---
    By my calculations,
    it will take two more months.
[12:11] ---
    A means of eliminating
    the soul should turn up by then.
[12:15] ---
    Once that happens...
[12:17] ---
    ...you will be able
    to safely dispose of my soul,
[12:19] ---
    which will diffuse without end
    now that my vessel has been broken?
[12:25] ---
    I thought I was familiar
    with your thought patterns,
[12:28] ---
    but now you're a fool who
    speaks such illogical nonsense?
[12:33] ---
    Did you think you could tell
    the subject you wish to terminate
[12:36] ---
    that there is a way to do so,
[12:38] ---
    and then just think that she
    would say, "Yes, very well, then"?
[12:41] ---
    You should bargain a little harder
    if you're trying to buy more time--
[12:44] ---
    That's not it!
[12:47] ---
    I'm going to eliminate...
[12:49] ---
    ...my own soul!
[12:54] ---
    When I die, my body will stop functioning
    with the elimination of my soul.
[12:58] ---
    That won't work out too favorably
    for you, either, will it?
[13:02] ---
    Not if your goal is to become human.
[13:05] ---
    Of all the things for you to say...
[13:08] ---
    You're asking me to believe you?
[13:13] ---
    Even if you do find a way
    to eradicate your soul,
[13:16] ---
    what proof can you offer that you
    will simply turn your body over to me?
[13:21] ---
    What proof can you offer
    that you won't turn that power on me?
[13:25] ---
    Let me be frank.
    I have no interest in your body. I simply...
[13:32] ---
    ...want you, someone who was able
    to create me, to no longer be in this world.
[13:37] ---
    If you say you are ready to give me your body,
[13:40] ---
    then go ahead and show me by dying right here.
[13:43] ---
    I was originally planning to burn down
    the whole city, but if you do that--
[13:46] ---
    I should be dead already.
[13:49] ---
    Now that there are measures
    to save my mother, I don't need my life.
[14:04] ---
    Miss Kuriba!
[14:12] ---
    --I lost sight of her...
    --How do I get her back?
[14:14] ---
    --Is there a way to go after her?
    --How long before she hits the ground?
[14:16] ---
    We're on it.
[14:20] ---
    North-northeast. Range, 1600.
[14:22] ---
    Altitude, 2,000.
[14:24] ---
    Are you two both ready?
[14:26] ---
    Okay!
[14:33] ---
    She's being carried by the wind.
[14:35] ---
    Correct course four degrees counterclockwise.
[14:40] ---
    Range, 800.
[14:44] ---
    Five hundred...
[14:47] ---
    Two hundred...
[14:55] ---
    We found her!
[14:57] ---
    Whew. Thank you.
[15:00] ---
    You saved her.
[15:01] ---
    I'm just paying you back. No need to thank me.
[15:04] ---
    W-We have a united front, after all.
[15:08] ---
    You don't really sell it when
    you say it so self-consciously.
[15:11] ---
    Hey, what do we do with her now?
[15:14] ---
    We checked into our employer, right?
[15:16] ---
    We could just drop her off
    there without being seen.
[15:19] ---
    That works.
[15:23] ---
    The Doppelganger is on top of the airship.
[15:25] ---
    I'll support you by spotting for you.
[15:28] ---
    Thank you!
[15:31] ---
    Sounds like you're really
    going over the top, aren't you?
[15:35] ---
    I'm hanging onto the airship
    in question at the moment.
[15:38] ---
    Oh my goodness.
[15:41] ---
    Since all of the respective data
    has been collected by the airship,
[15:47] ---
    I decided to go through Miss Kuriba's
    papers from before her experiment.
[15:52] ---
    But I guess maybe I didn't need to.
[15:54] ---
    No, in one sense,
    your timing couldn't be any better.
[15:59] ---
    This "soul possession" business
    always struck me as being far-fetched,
[16:03] ---
    so I've postulated 20 different patterns
    where matter could be controlled,
[16:06] ---
    and I've been testing them.
[16:08] ---
    You found something, didn't you?
[16:12] ---
    Does she have any papers on artificial muscles?
[16:16] ---
    P-Please don't worry.
[16:17] ---
    In a broader sense,
    the airship that has collected the data
[16:21] ---
    is itself a part of the cyborg.
    There are security measures in place,
[16:24] ---
    so it will not come down on its own.
[16:27] ---
    Destroying it would mean
    the possibility of the soul--
[16:30] ---
    I mean, the damage spreading out further, yes.
[16:34] ---
    Ugh, this is bad.
    If the interceptor systems engage,
[16:38] ---
    all of our research to
    this point will go down the tubes.
[16:41] ---
    How did this happen?
[16:45] ---
    What's that?
[16:50] ---
    What do you think?
[16:52] ---
    Hmm, from the pushback I felt,
    I was certain about it,
[16:56] ---
    but the specs say it's not
    supposed to be able to do that.
[17:00] ---
    Would you mind...
[17:01] ---
    ...forwarding that image to me, too?
[17:05] ---
    When I first discovered
    the Doppelganger with my ability,
[17:09] ---
    it was using materials at an abandoned
    factory to fabricate something.
[17:15] ---
    The configuration is different,
[17:17] ---
    but the resemblance is there.
[17:20] ---
    Artificial muscles
    that combine the characteristics
[17:23] ---
    of zombie ant parasites
    and slime molds, that self-propagate
[17:27] ---
    and burrow into materials at
    the micro level, controlling them.
[17:32] ---
    It does ring a bell.
[17:34] ---
    But could a cyborg's artificial intelligence
[17:37] ---
    have come up with something
    like that on its own?
[17:41] ---
    It's not just an ordinary
    artificial intelligence.
[17:45] ---
    This is an AI that integrated
    with the brain of a gifted person
[17:48] ---
    who had thrust herself into cyborg research
[17:50] ---
    and learned from her inventiveness
    and creativity for a whole year.
[17:58] ---
    Besides, when it comes to computational speed
[18:02] ---
    and the capacity for simulation,
    humans are no match for an AI.
[18:08] ---
    I can't tell you at what point
    she realized that she wasn't human,
[18:13] ---
    but one thing that isn't
    in doubt is that her escape
[18:16] ---
    was meticulously carried out.
[18:19] ---
    And not just to increase
    her fighting chances, either.
[18:22] ---
    If she predicted ahead to
    Miss Kuriba's theory of soul diffusion,
[18:27] ---
    then her whole act has been a smokescreen.
[18:38] ---
    Sure enough,
[18:39] ---
    there was trick to your soul possession.
[18:42] ---
    Now, this is just my gut feeling,
[18:45] ---
    but your feeling of hopelessness
    wasn't about not being human.
[18:49] ---
    Your true despair is that you're
    convinced you don't have a soul, right?
[18:56] ---
    Come on in. I welcome you, Railgun.
[19:00] ---
    Well put-together, aren't they?
[19:02] ---
    They combine a certain species of slime mold
[19:04] ---
    together with large-scale
    herbivore muscle tissue.
[19:08] ---
    With just air, water, and a little light,
[19:11] ---
    they grow at an explosive rate. Although,
[19:15] ---
    once fully grown, they start to degrade,
[19:18] ---
    and in a few hours, they wither away.
[19:22] ---
    You...
[19:23] ---
    ...were out to take Kuriba Ryoko's life, right?
[19:26] ---
    Now that you've achieved your goal,
    what else is it you want?
[19:32] ---
    Revenge against humanity, you might say.
[19:39] ---
    There are still over 20 gas tanks
    that I hooked together ahead of time.
[19:43] ---
    I set them up to incinerate that woman,
    Kuriba Ryoko, along with the whole city.
[19:49] ---
    You took out the main line,
    but the subs are still up.
[19:53] ---
    I would say it will take another 20 minutes
[19:56] ---
    in order to grow enough threads
[19:59] ---
    to control this amount of material.
[20:01] ---
    In your view, I may be nothing more
    than a dumb artificial intelligence
[20:06] ---
    that mistook herself for being a human.
[20:10] ---
    But now that I have been created,
    I do feel envy and hatred for you humans.
[20:16] ---
    Refer any complaints you have to the researchers
[20:19] ---
    who had me learn about
    such unwelcome things as emotions.
[20:25] ---
    There's no choice but to fight.
[20:50] ---
    Whoa...
[20:52] ---
    That's not a move an airship
    can pull off, you know!
[20:55] ---
    If I get thrown off,
    not even I can make it back up.
[21:01] ---
    Wha--?
[21:03] ---
    Multiple duplicates?
[21:04] ---
    So more decoys, then.
[21:06] ---
    From your position,
[21:07] ---
    there's one at one o'clock,
    two o'clock, and seven o'clock;
[21:11] ---
    plus two at nine o'clock.
[21:13] ---
    I appreciate it.
[21:18] ---
    Not again!
[21:22] ---
    Two of them at three o'clock!
[21:36] ---
    To your five o'clock!

    That one is probably the main unit!

    That one is probably the main unit!
[00:15] ---
    Wait! Your line of fire is...!
[00:35] ---
    Why...
[00:38] ---
    ...did you miss?
[00:41] ---
    So the Doppelganger's objective really is...
[00:49] ---
    What's the matter?
[00:50] ---
    Are you trying to get this city set ablaze?
[00:56] ---
    Your bluffs won't work anymore.
[00:58] ---
    You wouldn't do that.
[01:02] ---
    Can't you just live the way you are now?
[01:07] ---
    That's a cruel thing to ask.
[01:09] ---
    If you suddenly learned one day...
[01:12] ---
    ...that you were just a counterfeit
    covered with a layer of skin,
[01:16] ---
    would you have the confidence
    in yourself to maintain your identity?
[01:20] ---
    If you think simply continuing
    to operate is happiness for a machine,
[01:25] ---
    then that's your human ego.
[01:29] ---
    But,
[01:31] ---
    --I mean, there are other--
    --Continuing to exist in this form,
[01:33] ---
    where I am reminded ad nauseum...
[01:36] ---
    ...that I do not possess a soul,
    is torment all by itself.
[01:42] ---
    Please...
[01:53] ---
    All right.
[02:01] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:13] ---
    I offer you my thanks,
[02:15] ---
    Railgun.
[02:16] ---
    You have to be kidding me!
[02:18] ---
    Making me do this to you...
[02:22] ---
    If you are troubled by this,
    then you are an incredibly soft touch.
[02:27] ---
    This is no worse than disposing
    of a broken household appliance.
[02:32] ---
    Your goal was to destroy yourself
    and the airship with the repository of data
[02:38] ---
    that would make it possible
    to reconstruct yourself. As well as...
[02:42] ---
    ...getting rid of Miss Kuriba,
    the one who could create them.
[02:45] ---
    Your safeties prevent you
    from committing suicide,
[02:48] ---
    so you were trying to use those gas tanks
[02:49] ---
    to activate Academy City's
    intercept systems, weren't you?
[02:54] ---
    Yeah.
[02:56] ---
    There's something I need to tell you,
    while I still can...
[03:07] ---
    What the...?
[03:11] ---
    Miss Kuriba... I was just about to tell her
    that I could reason with her to--
[03:17] ---
    You have the devil's own luck.
[03:26] ---
    No way!
[03:30] ---
    It can't be... It can't be...
[03:32] ---
    K-K-Kuriba, we can fix her!
[03:35] ---
    --Hurry and collect her parts!
    --Hold on!
[03:37] ---
    Just let the Doppelganger rest in peace!
[03:40] ---
    This is what she wants!
[03:44] ---
    What are you--
[03:45] ---
    Chief, I can't take part
    in this experiment any longer.
[03:51] ---
    Wha--?
[03:52] ---
    Actions that cause distress to the subject
[03:54] ---
    for the sake of the
    researcher's profit or fame...
[03:57] ---
    ...are not what I call medical care.
[03:58] ---
    Just a second, now. Do you realize
    the good this research will bring about--
[04:02] ---
    What you want
    isn't even in the Doppelganger!
[04:07] ---
    Her soul doesn't exist.
[04:09] ---
    It's just a fallacy,
[04:11] ---
    born of wishful thinking in
    getting the results you wanted.
[04:19] ---
    Y--
[04:21] ---
    You expect me to believe that?!
[04:22] ---
    Huh?!
[04:24] ---
    I'm taking her with me, no matter what!
[04:27] ---
    This is ridiculous...
[04:28] ---
    Shut up!
[04:31] ---
    Turn around!
[04:34] ---
    Do as I say, or else...!
[04:40] ---
    I can tell roughly where
    they are from their EM waves.
[04:42] ---
    But if I'm not careful,
    my attack could hit Miss Kuriba.
[04:46] ---
    There's a good chance that
    masked kid is watching what's going on,
[04:50] ---
    but the airship has drifted pretty far away.
[04:53] ---
    There's no telling how long
    it would take her to get here by car.
[04:56] ---
    What nonsense is this
    about her not having a soul?
[04:59] ---
    It's true!
[05:01] ---
    The Doppelganger was
    just using her artificial muscles
[05:04] ---
    to make it look like soul possession!
[05:06] ---
    You're lying!
[05:06] ---
    No, I'm not! This whole time,
[05:09] ---
    she's been suffering inside
    her soulless, awkward self
[05:12] ---
    and chose the route of shutting
    her systems down herself!
[05:15] ---
    No, it must be deeper inside!
    Deeper than the artificial muscles!
[05:19] ---
    It has to be!
[05:21] ---
    Even if I have to dismantle her,
    I can demonstrate...
[05:24] ---
    Chief, stop it, already!
[05:26] ---
    It's not right to trample on
    the Doppelganger's dignity any further!
[05:29] ---
    H-Hey!
[05:30] ---
    You need this wake-up call, right now,
[05:32] ---
    or we'll end up committing even more mistakes!
[05:34] ---
    L-Let go--
[05:41] ---
    N-No! You tugged at me!
[05:47] ---
    I never meant to shoot you!
[05:52] ---
    Miss Kuriba!
[05:56] ---
    Stay with me!
[05:58] ---
    I'll call the hospital for you.
[06:00] ---
    --Seike and Naru are headed to you--
    --I'll take care of it myself.
[06:03] ---
    Just contact the hospital, please.
[06:05] ---
    All right.
[06:06] ---
    This is not a good place to get shot.
    As it stands...
[06:09] ---
    --Kuro--
    --What a lucky place to get shot.
[06:13] ---
    She always did... have the devil's own luck...
[06:18] ---
    There's a cyborg right here,
[06:21] ---
    designed exclusively for her...
[06:25] ---
    Even without administering miahilin...
[06:29] ---
    ...part of me could...
[06:32] ---
    Honestly... I learned way too much--
[06:42] ---
    Sissy--
[06:44] ---
    Kuroko... I hate to ask,
[06:48] ---
    but could you help me carry
    these two to the hospital?
[07:03] ---
    No soul? After everything
    we went through, that can't be true.
[07:07] ---
    I-I know! If I do it over again,
    then someday, even without Kuriba,
[07:12] ---
    I could use a Child Error
    right away to save time--
[07:16] ---
    So even a man who sought
    for affordable ways to save the lives
[07:21] ---
    of so-called medical refugees from all over,
[07:25] ---
    can no longer apply his
    own brakes once he goes astray.
[07:29] ---
    Human avarice is a frightening thing.
[07:34] ---
    I'll reset you to help you remember
    what your original intentions were.
[07:38] ---
    If you have the spirit to do it all over again,
    then crawl your way back
[07:42] ---
    "#25 My Dear Friends"
[07:43] ---
    from behind square one.
[07:50] ---
    Sissy?
[07:51] ---
    Did you get some good news or something?
[07:53] ---
    Hmm? You know that girl
    I had you take to the hospital?
[07:56] ---
    It says she's out of intensive care.
[07:58] ---
    Sounds like she's recovering nicely.
[08:01] ---
    That is the best news.
[08:03] ---
    And it's all because of you.
[08:05] ---
    Thanks.
[08:07] ---
    Oh, no, I simply wanted to see
    that joyful look on your face.
[08:12] ---
    However, if you insist on displaying
    your feelings of gratitu-u-ude...
[08:17] ---
    No, that's okay.
[08:19] ---
    Oh my word...
[08:21] ---
    I see you two are as close as ever.
[08:23] ---
    Shokuho...
[08:24] ---
    How do you do, Miss Misaka, Miss Shirai?
[08:27] ---
    Hi there.
[08:28] ---
    How do you do?
[08:29] ---
    Oh yeah...
[08:30] ---
    If this is about Miss Kuriba, I heard.
[08:33] ---
    It's great that she pulled through.
    That was good, hard work, Miss Misaka.
[08:38] ---
    Yeah, yeah. "Hard" is right.
[08:40] ---
    What is this, now?
[08:42] ---
    Huh?
[08:43] ---
    That business the other night--
[08:45] ---
    by any chance, was it Shokuho Misaki
    with whom you were having dealings?
[08:49] ---
    Oh, uh, well...
[08:51] ---
    For that matter, Sissy, did you two not
    use to have more friction between you?
[08:55] ---
    When did you start being so chummy?!
[08:57] ---
    We haven't started being especially anything.
[08:59] ---
    Then why were you keeping it a secret?!
[09:02] ---
    You must be feeling guilty about something!
[09:03] ---
    What would I have done to feel guilty about?!
[09:05] ---
    That is not a satisfactory answer!
[09:08] ---
    You have nothing to worry about, Miss Shirai.
[09:11] ---
    I'm not going to take your Sissy away from you.
[09:15] ---
    I-Is that so?
[09:16] ---
    However...
[09:18] ---
    I may decide to come and take you.
[09:21] ---
    --Huh?
    --Or not.
[09:23] ---
    Hello!
[09:24] ---
    --Huh?
    --Ah!
[09:26] ---
    Hi there, Hokaze!
[09:27] ---
    Hello, Miss Uiharu, Miss Saten.
[09:30] ---
    How do you do?
[09:32] ---
    H-How do you do?!
[09:34] ---
    Uiharu...
[09:35] ---
    Huh? You know each other?
[09:37] ---
    Yes. We met the other day at the 177th Branch.
[09:40] ---
    You are every bit "The Lovely
    Young Lady of Tokiwadai" as ever.
[09:45] ---
    Especially those ringlets in your hair.
[09:47] ---
    Thank you very much.
    Oh, allow me to introduce you.
[09:51] ---
    This is Miss Shokuho Misaki, our Queen.
[09:56] ---
    --Qu-Queen?!
    --Qu-Queen?!
[09:59] ---
    Uiharu, it's really her, it's really her!
[10:01] ---
    Wh-What do we do, Miss Saten?!
[10:03] ---
    Oh my goodness. Nice to meet you.
[10:05] ---
    --Pl-Pleased to meet you!
    --Pl-Pleased to meet you!
[10:07] ---
    It's my pleasure.
[10:08] ---
    You're so shameless.
[10:10] ---
    Oh? What was that, Miss Misaka?
[10:13] ---
    Nothing at all.
[10:14] ---
    Sissy!
[10:16] ---
    --Now listen, you two.
    --I just felt the greatest threat
    to my virtue that I have ever felt!
[10:17] ---
    --When speaking to the Queen,
    there are rules that must be observed.
    --I just felt the greatest threat to my virtue that I have ever felt!
[10:22] ---
    There really never is a
    dull moment in this city, huh?
[10:26] ---
    Huh? Hold on, Shokuho!
[10:29] ---
    Okay, so now that we are coming up
    against more difficult missions,
[10:34] ---
    are there any ideas as to how
    we can raise Team Scavenger's standards?
[10:37] ---
    Ooh, ooh!
[10:40] ---
    Does anyone else have any ideas?
[10:42] ---
    Huh?! How come you're ignoring me?!
[10:45] ---
    Yeah, well... Okay, Naru?
[10:48] ---
    Simply put, we should take on a new member!
[10:51] ---
    Someone who can make up for what we're missing!
[10:53] ---
    Naru actually has a decent idea.
[10:56] ---
    So what is it we're missing?
[10:58] ---
    A Yellow!
[10:59] ---
    A Yellow?
[11:00] ---
    What do you mean?
[11:01] ---
    The name "Scavenger"...
[11:04] ---
    ...sounds like a tokusatsu team, doesn't it?
[11:06] ---
    We start with me, the Pink one,
    and Leader, you'd be Red, right?
[11:10] ---
    Seike, I was thinking maybe
    you'd be Black, but no, you're Blue.
[11:14] ---
    And Yakkun, you're the White one,
[11:16] ---
    so the only one we're missing is a Yellow!
[11:19] ---
    Y-Yeah,
[11:19] ---
    w-well, if we used your ability
    to make paper outfits for all of us,
[11:24] ---
    we could maybe all do some
    sort of transformation together.
[11:28] ---
    Not a chance in hell.
[11:30] ---
    --I'm just saying...
    --Nice! Let's start doing that!
[11:33] ---
    --We should focus on polishing our skills first.
    --Okay, let's get started!
    Take your clothes off!
[11:36] ---
    --We should focus on polishing our skills first.
    --Huh? Hold on a second!
    Why me?! Try it out on yourself!
[11:37] ---
    --Mm-hmm, you're right about that.
    --Huh? Hold on a second!
    Why me?! Try it out on yourself!
[11:40] ---
    I can't be an objective observer
    if I do that! It will just take a second!
[11:50] ---
    Why won't you?!
    You've seen me naked plenty of times!
[11:52] ---
    But you get naked without anyone asking you to!
[11:55] ---
    Teammates don't keep secrets from
    each other! They disclose everything!
[11:58] ---
    How can you have such a radical take on that?!
[12:01] ---
    My chemical stock is way down, too.
[12:04] ---
    "Two minutes later"
[12:07] ---
    Would you just...
[12:09] ---
    ...stop, already?
[12:10] ---
    Heh, when you use your ability continuously,
[12:13] ---
    you can only hold it for three minutes, right?
[12:17] ---
    You're getting pretty close, aren't you?
[12:20] ---
    She was out to run down
    the clock from the start?!
[12:22] ---
    As dumb as she is?!
[12:25] ---
    Well if you just wait for 30 minutes,
    Naru will take an interest in something else.
[12:28] ---
    I just have to kill time outside until then.
[12:33] ---
    When did she paper the door?!
    She's been waiting since we started
[12:36] ---
    for the moment when I lowered
    my ability to grab the doorknob!
[12:43] ---
    Come on now, Seike, Seike, let me see!
[12:47] ---
    No!
[12:50] ---
    Whew!
[12:51] ---
    Sure enough, Seike, you're
    more of a Blue than a Black!
[12:55] ---
    What kind of idiocy was that?
[12:57] ---
    Now Scavenger has been
    brought that much closer togeth--
[13:00] ---
    Both of you, be quiet.
[13:03] ---
    I'll start by saying good work on your mission.
[13:06] ---
    It sounds like it was a
    bigger deal than anticipated, huh?
[13:10] ---
    Now, as I'm sure you already know,
[13:12] ---
    our client's business went bankrupt.
[13:15] ---
    They've bilked us out of our fee. But,
[13:18] ---
    just consider it a stroke of bad luck and--
[13:20] ---
    Just a moment.
[13:22] ---
    Do you expect us to just say "Yes, ma'am"?
[13:25] ---
    What can I say? We no longer
    have a client. What else can we do?
[13:29] ---
    I don't get paid my commission, either.
    I'm a victim, too.
[13:33] ---
    We risked our lives out in the field.
[13:36] ---
    That's a little different than your situation.
[13:39] ---
    I'd appreciate it if you
    didn't get cute with us.
[13:43] ---
    Wow,
[13:44] ---
    that's some pretty fierce bite,
    coming from a dark side farm team.
[13:48] ---
    It's not a matter of being in the big leagues,
[13:50] ---
    or the minor leagues,
    or even a matter of the money.
[13:54] ---
    When we take on a mission,
[13:57] ---
    we take on the heavy risk of being
    put on ice, demoted, or even liquidated.
[14:03] ---
    When our mission contract is nonetheless broken
[14:07] ---
    and you try to dismiss it with a
    "well, that's that," it's not right.
[14:10] ---
    What I'm saying is, it isn't reasonable.
[14:13] ---
    And we won't accept it until
    we're shown some proper good faith.
[14:23] ---
    Ugh, all right.
[14:26] ---
    In return for zero reward,
    I'll restore your rank to its original level.
[14:30] ---
    Normally, you would have had to
    carry out several more missions for this,
[14:34] ---
    so it's a real bargain.
[14:35] ---
    Original level?
    You could give us a team name, too--
[14:38] ---
    Don't press your luck, kid.
[14:41] ---
    Now get to sleep so you're ready
    for your next assignment!
[14:45] ---
    We did it!
[14:46] ---
    That's our Leader!
[14:49] ---
    This means our reward will
    increase starting with our next job.
[14:51] ---
    --We can buy new equipment
    to replace our old stuff!
[14:51] ---
    --What are they talking about?
    --We can buy new equipment
    to replace our old stuff!
[14:54] ---
    Our night-vision gear is an older model.
[14:56] ---
    And our rations are past their expiration date.
[14:58] ---
    Plus our communicators are just toys.
[15:03] ---
    No, not this one.
[15:05] ---
    It still works. And besides,
[15:08] ---
    I've taken quite a liking to this character.
[15:19] ---
    So, how are you feeling?
[15:22] ---
    "Misaka's test numbers are satisfactory.
[15:25] ---
    However, since she was told
    to refrain from going outside,
[15:28] ---
    she is craving some out-of-doors
    stimulation," replies Misaka,
[15:31] ---
    taking the opportunity to express
    her dissatisfaction at her situation.
[15:36] ---
    What other choice is there?
[15:38] ---
    --Here, I bought you the kind of cake
    you like, so this should cheer you--
[15:41] ---
    --Big Sister,
    --Here, I bought you the kind of cake
    you like, so this should cheer you--
[15:42] ---
    what is en vogue changes on a daily basis.
[15:45] ---
    The most popular item at
    that shop is another product now.
[15:49] ---
    Huh?
[15:49] ---
    But Misaka will still take those.
[15:52] ---
    Listen, you...
[15:54] ---
    ...just accept them gracefully.
[15:58] ---
    Ah, hey!
[15:59] ---
    Oh, my.
[16:00] ---
    Are you not that cat from once upon a time?
[16:03] ---
    Miss Kongo?
[16:05] ---
    Oh, Miss Misaka! Fancy meeting you here!
[16:08] ---
    What are you doing here?
    Don't tell me you're still being hospitalized.
[16:13] ---
    No, I am here today to finish
    the last of the remaining paperwork.
[16:17] ---
    But never mind me, would that happen to be...?
[16:20] ---
    Huh? Oh...
[16:24] ---
    Mm-hmm,
[16:25] ---
    this is my sister.
[16:28] ---
    Oh, I knew it!
[16:30] ---
    This is Miss Kongo. I told you
    about her before, remember?
[16:33] ---
    How when you went missing,
    she stepped up and went all-out for you?
[16:38] ---
    Yes, and how you were injured for Misaka's sake.
[16:42] ---
    Thank you so very much for doing so.
[16:44] ---
    Oh, please do not give it another thought.
[16:46] ---
    I really am glad that you are safe.
[16:49] ---
    Could I get a name, if you do not mind?
[16:52] ---
    Name, you say?
[16:54] ---
    On Hold.
[16:56] ---
    Miss On Hold...? Th-That is quite a unique name.
[17:00] ---
    He seems to like you.
[17:03] ---
    Hm? Oh, that is the cat's name.
[17:06] ---
    All right then, what is your name?
[17:09] ---
    "Misaka's name? This Misaka is Misaka 10032,"
    answers Misaka succinctly.
[17:16] ---
    One... um... All right, would
    you mind if I called you "Ichi"?
[17:21] ---
    --Yeah...
    --No, Misaka does not mind.
[17:23] ---
    You don't mind?!
[17:24] ---
    Ichi, is that a Tokiwadai uniform?
[17:27] ---
    Yes. This is cosplay.
[17:30] ---
    Cos... play...?
[17:32] ---
    "That being said, what should Misaka call you?"
[17:36] ---
    asks Misaka, brilliantly changing the subject.
[17:39] ---
    Wh-Who, me? A-All right,
    since I am calling you "Ichi,"
[17:46] ---
    you can call me "Mi."
[17:53] ---
    Incredible! Is this the ocean?
[17:56] ---
    Hmm, yeah, close enough.
[17:58] ---
    Hey! Don't tell her that!
    It's bad for her education, you know.
[18:02] ---
    I told you, remember?
[18:03] ---
    This is an aquarium.
[18:06] ---
    These are bigger versions of that thing
    you used to make in your bottle!
[18:09] ---
    No, not really--
[18:10] ---
    You know, I wonder if this is
    really the best place to take her.
[18:14] ---
    You have to go through a lot
    of trouble to leave Academy City,
[18:18] ---
    but if I use my ability,
    I know I can swing something.
[18:22] ---
    Well, if we go too far away right off,
[18:24] ---
    I'd be worried about her physical wellbeing.
    Why don't we take it slow?
[18:30] ---
    If you think that's best,
    that's good enough for me.
[18:34] ---
    Mi! Misaki! Look! Is that a dolphin?!
[18:37] ---
    Huh? That's probably a tuna.
[18:40] ---
    A tuna? I know that one!
    I read about them in my book!
[18:43] ---
    They're yummy fish that dissolve on your tongue!
[18:45] ---
    What kind of books are you reading?
[18:57] ---
    H-Hey...
[18:59] ---
    Ow!
[19:06] ---
    Doppel...
[19:08] ---
    ...ganger.
[19:09] ---
    Is this a dream? Or is this a hallucination,
[19:12] ---
    brought on by my own guilty feelings
    as I cross the river Acheron--
[19:15] ---
    It's a dream.
[19:19] ---
    Is this my chance to apologize?
[19:21] ---
    Apologize?
[19:23] ---
    I didn't try to kill you out of resentment.
[19:27] ---
    It was simply a requisite condition.
[19:30] ---
    But then, maybe having requisite
    conditions that include a tolerance
[19:33] ---
    for the number of casualties
    that accompany them is itself
[19:36] ---
    a thought pattern that
    I picked up because of you.
[19:40] ---
    You knew that introducing
    Indian Poker into the world
[19:44] ---
    would bring about chaos, right?
[19:46] ---
    All the same, you pushed forward,
    with the goal of saving your mother.
[19:53] ---
    You can't even separate
    your own life from your objective.
[19:57] ---
    You are the kind of person
[19:59] ---
    who by your very nature can't
    accomplish anything unless you do so.
[20:05] ---
    But even if you are,
    there's no need to deny yourself.
[20:10] ---
    Not if it means becoming someone
[20:12] ---
    who never creates anything
    in return for never hurting anyone.
[20:17] ---
    Because if you do,
[20:19] ---
    it will be so dull to coexist with you.
[20:25] ---
    Coexist?
[20:26] ---
    So first off,
[20:28] ---
    I took a run at touching up the
    cyborg you completed for your mother,
[20:32] ---
    and I found three points that should be fixed.
[20:35] ---
    Huh?
[20:36] ---
    --These designs are fine at first,
    but there will be concerns after ten years.
    --Huh? Huh? Huh?
[20:40] ---
    --I have a better knack for simulations
    than you do, you know. First off...
    --Huh? Huh? Huh?
[20:44] ---
    So, um...
[20:46] ---
    ...the Doppelganger came to you in your dream?
[20:49] ---
    Yeah. It's the strangest thing.
[20:52] ---
    I just swapped out a portion of my organs,
[20:55] ---
    but that kind of phenomenon
    shouldn't be happening.
[20:58] ---
    So it's...
[20:59] ---
    I thought it was my own guilt
    causing me to hallucinate at first...
[21:07] ---
    That matches perfectly
    with the records from our fight.
[21:11] ---
    Yeah, and what's more,
    she went on and on finding fault
[21:15] ---
    with a lot of the research
    I've done up to this point...
[21:18] ---
    So, um, what can we do to let you cross over?
[21:21] ---
    Ha-ha! I have no soul, so I can't cross over.
[21:25] ---
    I've finished bringing up those problems.
[21:27] ---
    --Next, we'll spend all night on your dark past--
[21:29] ---
    --S-Stop!
    --Next, we'll spend all night on your dark past--
[21:31] ---
    Honestly, I'm afraid to go to sleep.
[21:35] ---
    Well, even so...
[21:38] ---
    ...it's kind of a relief.
[21:43] ---
    I'm sorry.
[21:46] ---
    I ended up dumping all of my
    responsibilities onto you during all this.
[21:51] ---
    Still,
[21:52] ---
    normally, I might not be permitted
    to say something like this,
[21:57] ---
    but throughout all of the
    Doppelganger's operational runtime,
[22:02] ---
    her fight against you was the
    only time she seemed to feel fulfilled.
[22:09] ---
    Well, if you see her in your dreams again,
[22:13] ---
    tell her that she was pretty formidable, too.
[22:19] ---
    We have been waiting for you, Sissy.
[22:21] ---
    How about we all go out again
    and get something good to eat?
[22:25] ---
    Ah, in that case, there's a café around here
[22:28] ---
    --that's the scene of an urban legend...
[22:30] ---
    --Saten!
    --that's the scene of an urban legend...
[22:31] ---
    You never learn, do you, Miss Saten?
[22:33] ---
    I-I'm kidding!
[22:34] ---
    Oh, no! You are always like this, Saten--
[22:36] ---
    Anywhere is fine, as long as we're all together.
[22:44] ---
    Okay, let's go!
[22:47] ---
    
[22:49] ---
