[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.
