[00:42] ---
    This is amazing, Ruiko!
[00:44] ---
    It was all I could do just to
    lift a paper cup before, too!
[00:45] ---
    Are you all right, Mu?
[00:48] ---
    Ruiko...?
[00:56] ---
    What do I do...? My ability...
[00:59] ---
    Ow...
[01:02] ---
    Akemi! How dare
    you let me fall like that!
[01:04] ---
    Knock it off, both of you!
[01:07] ---
    It's a modest power,
    compared to Shirai's or Misaka's,
[01:12] ---
    and it may not seem like
    much of a power to others...
[01:19] ---
    ...but I've become an esper!

[02:54] ---
    "Estimated time remaining 2 seconds"
[02:56] ---
    Finished.
[02:58] ---
    But really, being able to level-up,
    just by listening to this--
[03:01] ---
    is that even possible?
[03:03] ---
    That is what our well-meaning
    information supplier told me.
[03:08] ---
    Honestly, I'm not sure I believe it.
[03:11] ---
    But if I use this to become an
    even bigger esper than you are,
[03:15] ---
    Miss Shirai, I could do all sorts
    of things to get back at you.
[03:18] ---
    Your thoughts are as plain as day.
[03:21] ---
    If you would like to get even with
    me for anything, be my guest.
[03:25] ---
    I'm kidding! I was kidding!
[03:29] ---
    Your cell! Your cell is ringing!
[03:33] ---
    Yes... Yes, understood.
[03:37] ---
    Apparently, another student
    has gone out of control.
[03:40] ---
    Uiharu, you contact Dr. Kiyama.
[03:42] ---
    All right.
[03:43] ---
    "AIM Analytical Laboratory"
[03:45] ---
    Yeah, the item has arrived.
[03:47] ---
    Can it really be possible to raise
    one's ability with a music file?
[03:52] ---
    Hmm, that's a tough one.
[03:54] ---
    With a Testament, maybe...
[03:56] ---
    Testament?
[03:58] ---
    Do you have such a device?
[04:02] ---
    Oh... Yes... Yes...
[04:07] ---
    You don't say... Thank you for everything.
[04:16] ---
    Maybe we're barking up the
    wrong tree with this music file...
[04:27] ---
    "Saten Ruiko"
[04:34] ---
    Ah, hello, Miss Saten?
[04:36] ---
    The phone you have dialed is
    either out of signal range,
[04:39] ---
    or has been turned off--
[04:52] ---
    What do you think of my power?
[04:55] ---
    Another case of the Level Upper?
[04:58] ---
    What's your deal?
    You want to mess with me?
[05:01] ---
    You couldn't take me in ten years--
[05:05] ---
    And here I am, ten years younger than you.
[05:07] ---
    Check out my--
[05:10] ---
    Taste my power!
[05:12] ---
    I wish they would cut it out already.
[05:17] ---
    Okay, this is going to sting a little.
[05:23] ---
    You're getting fresh
    bruises every day, huh?
[05:26] ---
    What choice do I have?
[05:28] ---
    There are more and
    more people using Level Uppers.
[05:31] ---
    There's no telling how far this is spreading.
[05:35] ---
    Whining about it will not do any good.
[05:39] ---
    Anyhow, there are three
    things we should be doing.
[05:44] ---
    The prevention of the Level Upper's spread,
[05:46] ---
    and the recovery of
    the users who are in a coma...
[05:48] ---
    And...
[05:50] ---
    ...the arrest of whoever
    developed the Level Upper.
[05:52] ---
    No matter what, we will find out
[05:54] ---
    who created this and put it on the net,
[05:56] ---
    and get them to reveal
    what their motives are.
[06:00] ---
    Well, let's get you taken care of first.
[06:05] ---
    Are you sure you wouldn't really
    rather have Miss Misaka wrap you up?
[06:08] ---
    I cannot very well afford
    to allow Sissy to see me like this.
[06:12] ---
    That's okay.
    Nobody wants to see you like this.
[06:17] ---
    Yoo-hoo! Is there anything I can help wit--
[06:23] ---
    G-Good afternoon, Sissy.
[06:30] ---
    So, making any progress
    with the investigation?
[06:33] ---
    Well...
[06:35] ---
    From what Dr. Kiyama told us,
[06:37] ---
    there is a special device,
    called a Testament, which is able
[06:41] ---
    to input a large quantity
    of data electrically into the brain.
[06:45] ---
    However, it operates through sight,
    sound, smell, taste, and touch--
[06:50] ---
    all five of the senses.
[06:53] ---
    The Level Upper is a
    music file. That's just hearing.
[06:58] ---
    We searched the rooms of the victims,
[06:59] ---
    who are now in a vegetative state,
[07:01] ---
    but we didn't find any
    other data, except for the song.
[07:08] ---
    Hypothetically speaking,
    is there any possibility
[07:12] ---
    that the song itself
    works on all five senses?
[07:16] ---
    How do you mean?
[07:17] ---
    Don't you remember what we talked
    about when we had that shaved ice?
[07:23] ---
    Let me see...
[07:24] ---
    Flavor tasting?
[07:25] ---
    No, not that.
[07:28] ---
    --Synesthesia!
    --Synesthesia!
[07:30] ---
    What is that?
[07:31] ---
    Synesthesia! When one
    thing stimulates multiple senses.
[07:37] ---
    You stimulate a sense
    using one kind of method,
[07:40] ---
    and other senses
    become stimulated as well.
[07:43] ---
    So you mean, by stimulating
    the senses with sound,
[07:45] ---
    you get the same effect as
    you would by using a Testament?
[07:50] ---
    It is a possibility.
[07:52] ---
    I see. I'd overlooked that.
[07:55] ---
    I'd like to ask you to
    pursue that line of investigation.
[07:57] ---
    Yeah, in that case, I should even
    get permission to use Tree Diagram.
[08:02] ---
    Tree Diagram?!
[08:04] ---
    If you use Academy City's greatest
    supercomputer, that will be quick!
[08:07] ---
    I'll be in touch once I have the result.
[08:09] ---
    Then, do you mind if
    I head over there right now?
[08:12] ---
    I'd like to see Tree Diagram in use.
[08:16] ---
    No, I don't mind.
[08:27] ---
    Well? After just practicing
    for four or five days, I can do this!
[08:31] ---
    Well, look at me!
[08:32] ---
    You're all amazing!
[08:36] ---
    Maybe I should at least
    tell Uiharu about this.
[08:40] ---
    But I'll bet she'll be mad at me.
[08:46] ---
    --Akemi!
[08:47] ---
    --Akemi!
    --Akemi!
[08:48] ---
    What's the matter, Akemi?
[08:50] ---
    --Akemi!
[08:51] ---
    --Akemi, wake up!
    --Akemi!
[08:52] ---
    --Are you okay?!
[08:52] ---
    --Akemi!
    --Are you okay?!
[08:54] ---
    "Saten Ruiko"
[08:57] ---
    Miss Saten, I've been worried about you.
[08:59] ---
    You're aloof when we're at school,
    and when I call, you don't answer.
[09:03] ---
    --ollapsed.
[09:04] ---
    What?
[09:05] ---
    Akemi just suddenly collapsed.
[09:08] ---
    I didn't know that when you
    use the Level Upper, you'd collapse.
[09:14] ---
    How could this happen?
[09:18] ---
    I didn't... mean for this...
[09:21] ---
    C-Calm... Calm down,
    and take it slowly, from the beginning.
[09:27] ---
    I got my hands on the Level Upper.
[09:31] ---
    You said they'd catch
    anyone in possession of it...
[09:34] ---
    But I couldn't get rid of it. And then,
[09:38] ---
    Akemi and the others said
    they wanted the Level Upper...
[09:41] ---
    Mm-mm, no, the truth is,
    I was just too afraid to use it by myself.
[09:47] ---
    Whatever, where are you now?
[09:49] ---
    Do you think I'll succumb, too?
[09:52] ---
    If I do, will I ever wake up again?
[09:57] ---
    I couldn't stand not having any power...
[10:03] ---
    But I just couldn't
    give up my longing for it...
[10:11] ---
    Mama...
[10:12] ---
    Huh? What was that?
[10:14] ---
    Do you think Level 0s are defective?
[10:18] ---
    Huh? What are you...?
[10:20] ---
    I tried to ignore that,
    and gain power anyway,
[10:24] ---
    so maybe I'm being punished for it.
[10:27] ---
    I got involved in something dangerous,
[10:29] ---
    and dragged those around
    me into it, too... I...
[10:37] ---
    It's all right!
[10:40] ---
    If you do fall asleep,
    I'll come wake you up, right away.
[10:45] ---
    You, and Akemi,
    and everyone else who fell asleep. So...
[10:51] ---
    ...please, just leave everything to me!
[10:55] ---
    Miss Saten, I'm sure you'll
    tell me "just five more minutes."
[11:03] ---
    Uiharu...
[11:05] ---
    Miss Saten, you are not a defective item!
[11:08] ---
    You're always, always
    dragging me to keep up,
[11:12] ---
    even without any abilities, aren't you?
[11:14] ---
    Miss Saten, even without any powers,
    you'll still be Miss Saten!
[11:18] ---
    You're still my best friend!
[11:21] ---
    So... so...
[11:24] ---
    ...don't go saying anything... so sad...!
[11:41] ---
    You're asking me to count on you, Uiharu?
[11:44] ---
    I-It's not just me!
[11:46] ---
    There's Miss Misaka,
    and Miss Shirai, and lots of others!
[11:51] ---
    Mm-hmm,
[11:52] ---
    I know.
[11:55] ---
    Thanks, Uiharu.
[12:00] ---
    I'm sorry for causing
    so much trouble for you.
[12:02] ---
    I'll let you handle it from here, okay?
[12:33] ---
    "Good Luck Charm"
[12:34] ---
    Miss Saten...
[12:37] ---
    #10 Silent Majority
[12:49] ---
    Saten used the Level Upper?
[12:51] ---
    Yes.
[12:52] ---
    Uiharu said she would make sure
    to analyze the data and help Saten,
[12:56] ---
    and headed off to Dr. Kiyama's office.
[13:00] ---
    Oh.
[13:03] ---
    Do you have a minute?
[13:06] ---
    What did you want to talk about?
[13:08] ---
    Saten had a good luck charm, remember?
[13:12] ---
    Oh, the one that was
    always dangling from her bag?
[13:15] ---
    She said she got it from her mother,
[13:19] ---
    before she came to Academy City.
[13:21] ---
    She told you that, Sissy?
[13:24] ---
    Mm-hmm. I think she probably
    wanted to tell me lots of things.
[13:29] ---
    And yet, I just...
[13:31] ---
    They may say that I'm a Level 5,
[13:34] ---
    but I'm no good when it comes to this stuff.
[13:37] ---
    Sissy...
[13:39] ---
    I'm the sort that whenever there's
    a hurdle placed in front of me,
[13:44] ---
    I can't rest until I've jumped over it.
[13:48] ---
    My reaching Level 5 is a result of that, too.
[13:51] ---
    I never thought of it as anything great.
[13:55] ---
    Then again,
[13:56] ---
    there are also those who come
    to a stop in front of the hurdle, right?
[14:01] ---
    I'd never considered that
    those people exist, too.
[14:05] ---
    "Your level doesn't make any
    difference, does it?" Yeah, right.
[14:13] ---
    Such an inconsiderate thing to say.
[14:19] ---
    So, let me assist with the case.
    I'd like to help Saten, too.
[14:24] ---
    Very well.
[14:28] ---
    Thanks. I appreciate it.
[14:32] ---
    I-I should thank you...
[14:38] ---
    Do you have a moment?
[14:41] ---
    A real Gekota?!
[14:43] ---
    Sissy, he is not.
[14:47] ---
    These are all the brainwave
    patterns of the Level Upper victims.
[14:51] ---
    Brainwaves vary according to each person,
[14:54] ---
    so there's no way they should
    each have the same waveform.
[14:57] ---
    However, I noticed that
    each of the Level Upper victims
[15:00] ---
    had a common brainwave pattern.
[15:03] ---
    What does that mean?
[15:05] ---
    Supposing that there is someone else
[15:07] ---
    who is forcing their brains to
    work with this brainwave pattern,
[15:10] ---
    it would exert a tremendous
    influence on the body.
[15:14] ---
    Then the Level Upper is forcibly
    tampering with their brains,
[15:16] ---
    leaving them in a vegetative state?
[15:19] ---
    For what reason would someone do that?
[15:21] ---
    I'm a doctor.
    Investigating that is your job, right?
[15:52] ---
    I see.
[15:53] ---
    And now, even that girl from the other day...
[15:56] ---
    I'm the one who's responsible.
[15:58] ---
    You shouldn't blame yourself too much.
[16:01] ---
    Take it easy.
[16:04] ---
    I'll go put on some coffee--
[16:06] ---
    This is no time to be
    taking things so easily.
[16:10] ---
    The analysis results
    haven't come through yet,
[16:13] ---
    and if your friend wakes up
    and you've collapsed,
[16:15] ---
    that won't do either of you any good.
[16:19] ---
    It's okay. I'm sure it will
    all work out all right in the end.
[16:44] ---
    If this clearly matches a specific
    person's brainwave pattern...
[16:47] ---
    ...once we have Uiharu
    search through the databank...
[16:52] ---
    But Uiharu is not here.
[16:55] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[16:56] ---
    My goodness, what's all the fuss?
[17:00] ---
    Miss Konori...
[17:04] ---
    You don't say. In that case,
[17:06] ---
    access to the databank is called for.
[17:08] ---
    What if the data isn't in the databank?
[17:10] ---
    It will be okay.
[17:12] ---
    Adults who have received
    hospital consultations,
[17:15] ---
    or have taken vocational aptitude tests,
[17:17] ---
    not to mention students
    undergoing ability development,
[17:19] ---
    will have their data stored in there.
[17:20] ---
    But how is it that when
    one uses the Level Upper,
[17:23] ---
    they have the brainwaves of this
    same person programmed into them?
[17:26] ---
    Furthermore, I have no idea
    how it would raise your ability level.
[17:31] ---
    Not even a computer's performance
    increases that dramatically,
[17:35] ---
    just because you're using
    a certain piece of software.
[17:37] ---
    Apart from connecting
    to a network, that is.
[17:40] ---
    Does performance increase
    when connected to a network?
[17:43] ---
    Individually, performance does not increase.
[17:46] ---
    But if you connect a lot
    of different computers in parallel,
[17:50] ---
    their computing power does increase...
[17:52] ---
    That's it. Is it possible
    that by using the Level Upper,
[17:55] ---
    they've constructed a network of brains?
[17:57] ---
    It is a possibility.
[17:59] ---
    But how are all of their
    brains connected together?
[18:02] ---
    If I had to suspect something,
    maybe an AIM diffusion field?
[18:07] ---
    Espers emit a force around
    them without even being aware of it.
[18:11] ---
    If those were to be connected...
[18:13] ---
    But that's something people do unconsciously.
[18:16] ---
    If our brains are likened to computers,
[18:19] ---
    we all use different brands of OSes,
[18:21] ---
    so it wouldn't have any meaning
    to link them together, would it?
[18:23] ---
    Computers on the network also
    have different OSes,
[18:26] ---
    and they even use different languages.
[18:29] ---
    But the reason networks can be created
[18:32] ---
    is because there are protocols, right?
[18:34] ---
    Are you saying that a
    specific person's brainwave pattern
[18:37] ---
    is serving as a protocol?
[18:40] ---
    Ultimately, it's just a possibility.
[18:42] ---
    But if one were to
    connect brains in parallel like that,
[18:45] ---
    they would be able to do
    an enormous amount of computing.
[18:49] ---
    Even for someone who
    individually has only a weak ability,
[18:52] ---
    by plugging into a network,
[18:55] ---
    the throughput of
    that ability would increase.
[18:57] ---
    Add to that the collective thought
    patterns of epsers of the same type,
[19:03] ---
    and you'd be able to manage
    that ability that much more efficiently.
[19:06] ---
    I have a hunch that all the brain
    activity of the coma patients
[19:09] ---
    is being used on this network.
[19:13] ---
    Here it is!
[19:14] ---
    The brainwave patterns'
    agreement rate is 99%!
[19:22] ---
    This, too... And this, too...
[19:25] ---
    They're all papers on synesthesia. But why?
[19:32] ---
    How naughty...
[19:35] ---
    looking at someone's research
    findings without asking first.
[19:40] ---
    I-Is that...?
[19:42] ---
    Registrant name...
[19:44] ---
    Kiyama Harumi?!
[19:46] ---
    Uiharu!
[19:47] ---
    What about Miss Uiharu?
[19:49] ---
    She said earlier that she
    was headed to Dr. Kiyama's office.
[19:52] ---
    She what?!
[19:54] ---
    Uiharu!
[19:55] ---
    The phone you have dialed is...
[19:57] ---
    I cannot get through!
[19:59] ---
    Contact Antiskill!
    Take Kiyama Harumi into custody!
[20:02] ---
    However, there is a
    chance that she has a hostage.
[20:04] ---
    Right!
[20:13] ---
    By the way, I've been
    wondering this for a while,
[20:17] ---
    but what's with the flowers in your hair?
[20:19] ---
    Does it have to do with your ability?
[20:22] ---
    I have no obligation to answer you.
[20:24] ---
    Never mind that, what is the Level Upper?
[20:27] ---
    Why did you do all of this?
[20:30] ---
    What will become of
    the people who are asleep?
[20:33] ---
    So many questions.
    And you won't even answer my question.
[20:38] ---
    What's so amusing about
    raising someone's ability,
[20:41] ---
    and getting them excited over nothing?
[20:45] ---

    Like Miss Saten...
[20:52] ---
    I'm not interested in others' abilities.
[20:56] ---
    My objective is something even greater.
[21:02] ---
    I'm going, too.
[21:03] ---
    I don't want to get a civilian involved,
[21:06] ---
    but with the help of a Level 5 like you...
[21:12] ---
    Sissy!
[21:14] ---
    Uiharu is on Judgment's bottom rung.
[21:16] ---
    If it comes to it, she herself can...
[21:20] ---
    ...probably... manage something...
[21:25] ---
    ...if she is lucky...
[21:28] ---
    Besides, I doubt that a
    single scientist like Kiyama
[21:31] ---
    has the means to stave off Antiskill.
[21:34] ---
    She has the lives of thousands
    of comatose espers in her hands.
[21:39] ---
    Besides, I've got a bad feeling about this.
[21:42] ---
    Then that is all the more reason for me,
    as a Judgment officer, to...
[21:51] ---
    You're going into
    action in the shape you're in?
[21:53] ---
    Sissy, you knew?
[21:55] ---
    Of course I did.
[22:00] ---
    You're my junior.
[22:03] ---
    In a situation like this,
    you turn to your Sissy.
[22:11] ---
    Sissy...
[22:30] ---
    Dear my friend
[22:32] ---
    Every day & night
    Always be with you

[22:38] ---
    Dear my friend
[22:39] ---
    Every day & night
    Always be with you

[24:00] ---
    Hey, I had a good time today.
[24:01] ---
    #11 Dr. Kiyama
[24:03] ---
    I think I'll finish by undressing
    for the preview. Next time--
[24:05] ---
    Don't undress! And for that matter,
    I'm taking you down!
