[00:34] ---
    The attacks have stopped?
[00:37] ---
    I don't think that
    means they're letting me go.
[00:39] ---
    Are they waiting to see my next move?
[00:49] ---
    If they have an esper who
    can pinpoint someone's location,
[00:53] ---
    then trying to hide
    would completely backfire.
[00:57] ---
    However...
[00:58] ---
    if I do run into them,
[01:01] ---
    I don't have very
    much power left to fight them.
[01:09] ---
    Is this tape from that blond girl...?
[01:13] ---
    She has this stuff laid
    out all over the facility?
[01:17] ---
    That's trouble.
[01:20] ---
    But that means...
[01:46] ---
    Can I use these?
[02:02] ---
    sister's noise, I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)

[02:06] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)

[02:09] ---
    Nobody can ruin the feelings
    we've built up together

[02:19] ---
    The oft-repeated truth is still distant
[02:26] ---
    while I am unable to sense your pain
[02:32] ---
    If the dreams you
    committed to me that day

[02:36] ---
    end up tearing me apart,
[02:39] ---
    don't ever let go of that hope
[02:42] ---
    more precious than anything else
[02:47] ---
    Though once closer to you than anyone else
    (sister's noise...)

[02:51] ---
    I cannot hear your voice
    (I find it out...)

[02:54] ---
    While the hands of time kept ticking away
[02:58] ---
    I was finally able to find you
[03:00] ---
    sister's noise, so I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)

[03:04] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)

[03:07] ---
    I promise to preserve the shared
    smiles we both felt

[03:14] ---
    Nobody can ruin them now
[03:21] ---
    Good work in there.
[03:22] ---
    We're meeting up with Kinuhata.
    Take us to S Processor.
[03:26] ---
    You two wait here
    until Mugino comes out.
[03:29] ---
    As you wish.
[03:35] ---
    Phew, I'm exhausted.
[03:38] ---
    Frenda...
[03:41] ---
    Frenda, if it was just you,
    you wouldn't have to withdraw.
[03:44] ---
    Not to worry, not to worry.
    We can let Mugino handle it from here.
[03:50] ---
    All told, she was being
    driven pretty lopsidedly,
[03:52] ---
    thanks to you, Takitsubo.
[03:54] ---
    But never mind that,
[03:55] ---
    are you sure you should be
    using your power so recklessly?
[03:58] ---
    I was starting to get
    alarmed, watching you.
[04:01] ---
    Mm-hmm, I'm fine.
[04:04] ---
    This is the only place...
    I belong, after all.
[04:09] ---
    Okay.
[04:11] ---
    I hope someday, you have somewhere
    else to belong, too, Takitsubo.
[04:24] ---
    What?
[04:26] ---
    My bombs...
[04:27] ---
    I forgot to retrieve them...!
[04:38] ---
    You're finally here, huh?
[04:40] ---
    You must be running on
    boardroom standard time, huh?
[04:46] ---
    Wha--?
[04:47] ---
    Frenda...! You just bolted
    without cleaning up after yourself?
[04:55] ---
    Where are your other pals?
[04:57] ---
    I sent them away.
[04:59] ---
    I wanted to take
    you on one-on-one,
[05:01] ---
    Railgun.
[05:03] ---
    The cat's out of the bag, huh?
    Well, that's okay.
[05:06] ---
    Her wanting this
    to be person-to-person...
[05:08] ---
    ...happens to work out...
    better for me!
[05:12] ---
    Ah, so that's it.
[05:22] ---
    So you're using Frenda's bombs
    to make up for your diminished power?
[05:26] ---
    But by doing so,
[05:28] ---
    you're as much as admitting
    that you can't defeat me on your own!
[05:32] ---
    Her ability can even
    deflect blast waves? In that case...!
[05:37] ---
    The same thing will happen every time.
[05:39] ---
    No--she's planning to
    use the blast to hide herself,
[05:42] ---
    and swing around behind?
    Or maybe she's blowing me off,
[05:45] ---
    and charging her way
    to the database inside?
[05:47] ---
    Then again, if I shoot it down first...
[05:52] ---
    What?! Did you rig the dolls somehow?!
[05:55] ---
    Yeah, I put metal in them,
    so I could control them magnetically!
[05:57] ---
    Tch, you're a real pain in the neck!
[06:02] ---
    Hmph!
[06:03] ---
    I'm sure you can shoot it down,
    when there's just one of them...
[06:06] ---
    Huh?
[06:09] ---
    But what about when there's
    this many of them?!
[06:26] ---
    From what I can see,
[06:27] ---
    she can't lay down a curtain of
    fire with her type of ability.
[06:30] ---
    Which means...
[06:31] ---
    What, if you overwhelm me with numbers,
    you can incapacitate me?
[06:48] ---
    "Silicon Burn."
[06:50] ---
    Of course I'm going to take
    steps to shore up my weaknesses.
[06:54] ---
    Give ITEM its due, you dirty brat!
[06:58] ---
    Thanks to that imbecile Frenda,
    I have to go to a bit of trouble...
[07:05] ---
    ...but I guess that's the best
    your middle-school brain can do.
[07:08] ---
    Sheesh,
[07:10] ---
    Third-ranked my ass!
[07:12] ---
    Measured by the profits generated
[07:13] ---
    by the research applications of your ability,
[07:15] ---
    You get ranked third,
[07:17] ---
    while I get ranked fourth?!
[07:21] ---
    If I slaughter you right now,
[07:24] ---
    I bet I can prove that's got
    nothing to do with it!
[07:31] ---
    The fourth-ranked Level 5?
    Which means,
[07:34] ---
    that's "Meltdowner"? Her?
[07:38] ---
    There are only three left, are there?
[07:45] ---
    Huh?
[07:46] ---
    What's the matter?
[07:48] ---
    Don't tell me you've run out of
    moves, now, have you?
[07:57] ---
    You little brat.
[07:58] ---
    An all-or-nothing suicide
    attack, is it?
[08:05] ---
    Geez, not only are you a hack,
    you already blew your wad?
[08:09] ---
    What?! Another one?!
[08:11] ---
    You had one down her back?!
[08:15] ---
    A shield!
[08:16] ---
    No, at this range, there's not
    enough time! Damn it!
[08:21] ---
    Yeah, right!
[08:26] ---
    Have you forgotten? I can also
    interfere with your shocks.
[08:32] ---
    You didn't really think "I won!"
    just now, did you?
[08:37] ---
    This fight was over as soon as it started,
[08:40] ---
    Railgu--
[08:46] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[08:48] ---
    I told you, I rigged these
    things with metal.
[08:51] ---
    They're lethal enough,
    even without exploding.
[09:08] ---
    Is this the place?
[09:33] ---
    I guess that should
    just about do it for now.
[09:37] ---
    I'd have liked to have
    made sure everything burned,
[09:41] ---
    but in the shape I'm in,
    I'd end up being caught up in it myself.
[09:45] ---
    The problem is that other facility.
[09:48] ---
    If there are espers there of the
    same level as there were here,
[09:51] ---
    I'm not very...
[09:54] ---
    Why...?
[09:56] ---
    That woman is gone!
[09:58] ---
    There's no way she should have
    been able to move so soon!
[10:09] ---
    Hey, now, don't go lounging around on me.
[10:12] ---
    I'm going to pay you
    back a trillion times over
[10:15] ---
    for what you did to me, starting right now!
[10:16] ---
    "#10 Meltdowner"
[10:23] ---
    Oh, come on, what's the matter?
    Get up, already,
[10:28] ---
    or I'll turn you to charcoal
    where you lie!
[10:32] ---
    Spry little girl, huh?
[10:36] ---
    Lucky for me, I haven't had
    anything to eat these last few days.
[10:41] ---
    Stop running away, you hussy!
[10:44] ---
    Get up on your high horse as soon
    as you're out of bombs, will you?
[10:47] ---
    You're a disgrace
    to your third-place rank!
[10:49] ---
    I'm sure it will manage to
    get over it, somehow!
[10:52] ---
    I've accomplished my goal.
    All I have to do now is get out.
[10:55] ---
    Now that the electrical
    systems are shot,
[10:57] ---
    I've got three escape routes.
[10:59] ---
    If I go down the emergency stairs--
[11:01] ---
    no, given her ability, she can
    punch through the whole staircase.
[11:05] ---
    There's also very little
    space in which to dodge her.
[11:08] ---
    Maybe I could take the mazelike
    route to the freight entrance.
[11:11] ---
    But then, there's only one way through.
[11:14] ---
    If it's blocked in even one place,
    I'll be trapped like a rat.
[11:17] ---
    Which leaves...
[11:23] ---
    Oh-h, you really want this to be a draw?
[11:26] ---
    Scampering away from me like that,
[11:29] ---
    I guess you're not a spider,
    but a cockroach, aren't you?!
[11:33] ---
    In that case, I'll squash you accordingly!
[11:40] ---
    Yes?
[11:41] ---
    It's Kinuhata.
[11:43] ---
    What? I'm at the ultra-best part
    right now, so keep it short.
[11:47] ---
    They've ultra-finished their
    preparations to relocate.
[11:50] ---
    Takitsubo and Frenda
    have just arrived, too.
[11:54] ---
    Huh?
[11:55] ---
    Unless something comes up,
[11:55] ---
    So not even collapsing her
    footing works, does it?
[11:56] ---
    I can ultra-escort them, and...
[11:58] ---
    In that case, I'll get her directly...
[12:00] ---
    Mugino?
[12:01] ---
    Yes... Yes...
    Ultra-acknowledged.
[12:06] ---
    Huh? You want me to tell her
    ultra-word-for-word?
[12:10] ---
    All right. Bye, then.
[12:13] ---
    She says we can ultra-proceed.
[12:16] ---
    U-Uh, listen...
[12:18] ---
    Yes?
[12:18] ---
    Did Mugino, you know, sound like
    she was mad, or anything?
[12:22] ---
    You know, about the bombs?
[12:25] ---
    No. She did sound
    ultra-keyed-up, though.
[12:28] ---
    Thank goodness!
[12:30] ---
    However, she did have an
    ultra-message for you Frenda.
[12:32] ---
    Huh? What, what?
[12:34] ---
    "Your punishment is guaranteed,"
    she said.
[12:46] ---
    Can I make it all
    the way out this way?
[13:14] ---
    Parry, parry, parry! Is that it?!
[13:17] ---
    Don't make me laugh, you little brat!
[13:20] ---
    Do you think you can do anything
    about the "darkness" of this town
[13:23] ---
    by fighting like you're on
    the playground?!
[13:27] ---
    Come on, make this
    more entertaining for me!
[13:30] ---
    Unless you want to become a
    quaint objet d'art with a modernist flair!
[13:48] ---
    I know you're desperate,
    but you sure picked a place to flee to
[13:51] ---
    that all but says "Please, kill me."
[13:54] ---
    Third-ranked, in a pig's eye!
[13:56] ---
    You're just a wet-behind-the-ears
    little girl, aren't you?!
[13:58] ---
    As long as you're here,
    why don't you show some gumption,
[14:01] ---
    and shoot off that Railgun that
    you're so good at, one last time?
[14:11] ---
    Hey, it's no fun if you go
    crazy before I can torture you.
[14:17] ---
    Yeah...
[14:18] ---
    Right now, I don't have enough power left
[14:21] ---
    to avoid one of your blasts,
    much less use my Railgun.
[14:25] ---
    That's why I gambled on taking this route.
[14:28] ---
    Huh?
[14:29] ---
    That blond pal of yours
    really gave me a hard time of it.
[14:34] ---
    Blowing me away with her bombs,
    tricking me, and kicking me. Also,
[14:39] ---
    she nearly made me fall,
    along with the floor beneath me.
[14:42] ---
    You know?
[14:44] ---
    That's why I wagered
[14:46] ---
    that if she set up traps all
    over the place,
[14:49] ---
    there was sure to be something set up,
    even in a place like this.
[14:55] ---
    Even in my present state,
[14:57] ---
    I can still take the
    place of that tool she used.
[15:01] ---
    You shouldn't scoff at playground
    fighting, should you, Auntie?
[15:07] ---
    Frenda!!
[15:19] ---
    Grab hold!
[15:26] ---
    No way... She didn't just...
[15:34] ---
    Hey, get down here!
[15:36] ---
    This isn't over yet!
[15:36] ---
    She's not dead?! She's tough!
[15:42] ---
    She ran away, did she? Ow!
[15:46] ---
    My Meltdowner rays
    may have slowed me down,
[15:49] ---
    but they did not make
    for a very smart landing.
[15:52] ---
    Guess I'll have to adjust that.
[15:55] ---
    I'll call Takitsubo back right away,
    and this time, for sure...
[16:00] ---
    No... That girl is a student at
    Tokiwadai isn't she?
[16:04] ---
    What was she after here in the first place?
[16:11] ---
    I accomplished my objective here.
    But that final location...
[16:18] ---
    My power is all gone.
[16:21] ---
    Shoot...
[16:24] ---
    Hey, hurry! Most of upstairs
    is engulfed in flames!
[16:27] ---
    Huh? But they're still here!
[16:29] ---
    Just leave that junk there!
[16:33] ---
    Damn! They hired someone
    from the underworld...
[16:35] ---
    Weren't we supposed to be safe?
[16:38] ---
    For crying out loud, they're useless--
[16:43] ---
    W-What...?
[16:45] ---
    I've become interested in the project
[16:47] ---
    that Railgun came here to destroy.
[16:50] ---
    Show me.
[16:51] ---
    Th-There's no way I can do that!
[16:53] ---
    If I leaked anything outside the
    company, I'd be eliminated--
[16:57] ---
    Between becoming a greasy lump
    of flesh, right here and now,
[17:02] ---
    and taking the very slim chance
    of living life on the run,
[17:06] ---
    which would you like?
[17:12] ---
    What is this?!
[17:14] ---
    This is what they're putting the
    great first-ranked up to?!
[17:17] ---
    Leveling up by pummeling
    20,000 pieces of slime?!
[17:22] ---
    What is the governing board of
    Academy City thinking...?
[17:28] ---
    Ah, so that's it.
    And then, those of us in ITEM...
[17:34] ---
    That should be interesting, shouldn't it?
[17:37] ---
    They can just go down, writhing in pain.
[17:40] ---
    Down to the bottom of
    Academy City's darkness, huh?
[18:01] ---
    It's morning already?
[18:14] ---
    Aww, I look like a mess.
[18:24] ---
    S Processor, the institute for
    practical neuroscience analysis...
[18:28] ---
    The last location,
    which I failed to bring down yesterday.
[18:31] ---
    Or at least it should be.
[18:38] ---
    This is weird. It's not just
    the lack of traffic in and out.
[18:42] ---
    Never mind security, there isn't
    a single electrical device at work.
[18:46] ---
    Is it a trap?
[19:03] ---
    There's no one here, all right.
[19:05] ---
    And not only that,
    all of the data has been erased.
[19:15] ---
    After yesterday's battle,
    did they give up on carrying it out?
[19:20] ---
    "S Processor Goes Bankrupt
    / School District 7"
[19:20] ---
    I don't know if they can't sustain
    the project with just one location.
[19:27] ---
    I drove them...
    until they backed down.
[19:34] ---
    Does that mean...
[19:36] ---
    ...it's over?
[19:39] ---
    Really? Somehow,
    that seems unrealistic.
[19:43] ---
    Maybe because of the string
    of surreal events I've been through.
[19:59] ---
    Farewell, Big Sister.
[20:12] ---
    Ah, so that's it.
[20:13] ---
    I was wondering what this was,
    since it wasn't scheduled.
[20:17] ---
    You're... the Original, huh?
[20:23] ---
    I'm Accelerator.
[20:26] ---
    It's a pleasure.
[20:28] ---
    Why?!
[20:30] ---
    You're alive, aren't you?!
    You have life, don't you?!
[20:33] ---
    Even such as you are?!
[20:36] ---
    Misaka is a product
    created for this project.
[20:41] ---
    Artificial bodies with artificial minds.
[20:45] ---
    She is a laboratory animal,
    at a unit price of ¥180,000 each.
[20:59] ---
    It's not like everything that
    happened is just going to vanish.
[21:04] ---
    There are still many things that
    I am going to have to do.
[21:09] ---
    But still...
[21:11] ---
    ...the experiments are over.
[21:15] ---
    Those girls...
[21:32] ---
    Those girls...
    don't have to die anymore...
[21:37] ---
    Misaka, we're all here for you.
[21:40] ---
    If you ever have too much on your plate,
[21:42] ---
    just say the word, any time, okay?
[21:49] ---
    Guys, I'm coming home now.
[21:59] ---
    Huh?!
[22:04] ---
    What is it with this thing?
[22:06] ---
    That's strange...
[22:09] ---
    I don't suppose there's any
    chance it's out of order.
[22:15] ---
    Seriously?
[22:29] ---
    While looking up
    into an unfamiliar sky,

[22:35] ---
    always, always walking with you
[22:41] ---
    I was searching for
    the future I thought I saw,

[22:47] ---
    so unlike the one up until a day ago
[22:53] ---
    When you touched my heart,
    convinced by my blurred vision,

[23:01] ---
    that I was wandering
[23:05] ---
    everything started changing
[23:09] ---
    After counting clouds until I grew
    bored of it, they drifted far away again

[23:16] ---
    I went after them, and found
    my dreams for tomorrow

[23:21] ---
    Assured that it's now or never,
    your feelings get through to me

[23:27] ---
    and someday, I'm sure,
    I'll offer mine, too

[23:33] ---
    Like the clouds, gently, gently,
[23:39] ---
    moving forever, forever forward
[23:47] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:48] ---
    I, Kamijo Toma,
[23:48] ---
    "#11 The Vending Machine"
[23:49] ---
    who suddenly appeared before Misaka Mikoto,
[23:51] ---
    together with Misaka Mikoto,
[23:52] ---
    who suddenly appeared before me, Kamijo Toma,
[23:54] ---
    are off on a grand journey
    to track down the mystery
[23:54] ---
    We are not! And why are you
    even doing the preview?!
[23:56] ---
    of exactly which...
