**[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.

"#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] ---**
