[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.

    "Next episode preview"
    "#13 SYSTEM"
[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.
[23:35] ---
    Huh? Shokuho is not
    speaking in this one, is she?
[23:41] ---
    
[23:43] ---
