    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[01:49] ---
    The best thing to do to make
    your way in Academy City
[01:53] ---
    is to suck up to the researchers here.
[01:58] ---
    Your rating has gone up since last time.
[02:00] ---
    Wow? Really? I'm so happy!
[02:03] ---
    It's because of all of you!
[02:05] ---
    "Effort pays off" is a lie.
[02:08] ---
    Just like the school you attend
    influences your employment prospects,
[02:11] ---
    the research facility you're associated
    with determines your future.
[02:15] ---
    Thank you very much!
[02:17] ---
    --I got really good at the forced
    smiles that made others like me.
[02:20] ---
    --Thanks for all you do!
    --I got really good at the forced
    smiles that made others like me.
[02:24] ---
    I'm looking forward to more again tomorrow!
[02:28] ---
    Ugh, all this acting friendly is
    more exhausting than the experiments.
[02:33] ---
    However, I wasn't counting on having
    that girl forced on me as a result.
[02:38] ---
    Oh, Kozaku?
[02:40] ---
    Yes?
[02:42] ---
    Listen, could you come and play
    with this girl in your free time?
[02:46] ---
    Huh?
[02:50] ---
    Dolly has lived her whole
    life at the facility.
[02:53] ---
    Stress is affecting her observational data.
[02:56] ---
    If she had someone to play with,
    it should lower her stress, right?
[03:02] ---
    Yes, if you think I will do...
[03:09] ---
    U-Um...
[03:16] ---
    Are you all right?
[03:18] ---
    Tell me, what's your name?
[03:19] ---
    Huh? Kozaku Mitori.
[03:22] ---
    Okay, I'll call you "Mi" then!
[03:24] ---
    So simple...
[03:36] ---
    From then on, once my experiments
    were over, it never failed.
[03:40] ---
    Whew, finally done for the day.
[03:57] ---
    Huh? Dolly?!
[03:59] ---
    I would end up being hounded like this.
[04:03] ---
    It's my turn!
[04:05] ---
    Here I go!
[04:10] ---
    Six! One, two, three, four, five, six.
[04:13] ---
    Ah, I had two kids! My
    congratulations, please!
[04:18] ---
    Tell me something, Dolly,
    why can't you go outside?
[04:22] ---
    They said it was something
    about my treatment.
[04:24] ---
    Treatment?
[04:26] ---
    At an ability development facility?
[04:29] ---
    They say it will help my young sister.
[04:31] ---
    You have a sister?
[04:33] ---
    I've never met her, though.
[04:35] ---
    If the treatment goes well,
[04:36] ---
    they say I'll have lots of younger sisters.
[04:39] ---
    I don't follow.
[04:40] ---
    It's your turn, Mi.
[04:51] ---
    Mi, that's amazing! It's really pretty!
[04:55] ---
    Not really. It isn't
    even that interesting, is it?
[04:58] ---
    If you go out to the ocean,
    you can see the real thing.
[05:00] ---
    Ocean? I know that one! I read it in my book!
[05:03] ---
    It's a place with lots of water!
[05:05] ---
    At first, I wondered why I was stuck
    with this simpleminded girl.
[05:25] ---
    --Dolly--
    --Mi!
[05:27] ---
    Hey!
[05:33] ---
    That's so cute!
[05:34] ---
    Why do you have to hug me
    over every little thing?
[05:38] ---
    And stop smelling me, too!
[05:40] ---
    I like the smell of people.
    Mi, you have a warm smell.
[05:47] ---
    Dolly smells like chemicals.
[05:53] ---
    Whad are you doig dad for, Mi?
[05:55] ---
    Because you won't do what I say.
[05:58] ---
    Back ad you!
[06:00] ---
    Somehow, whenever I was with her,
    my smiles were genuine and not put on.
[06:07] ---
    That's how it felt to me.
[06:10] ---
    Thanks for everything!
[06:12] ---
    The experiment ended early.
[06:14] ---
    What should we play today?
[06:19] ---
    Dolly!
[06:23] ---
    What are those devices...?
[06:26] ---
    No!
[06:28] ---
    Miss Kozaku, come with me.
[06:37] ---
    You have heard that she is here
    to get treatment, right?
[06:40] ---
    She needs some life support equipment
    to allow her to keep on living.
[06:45] ---
    Now, go on back home.
[06:47] ---
    Life support equipment...
[06:51] ---
    Really?
[07:07] ---
    If anyone finds out,
    they'll be more than just angry at me.
[07:12] ---
    "Parameter List." That's not it.
[07:15] ---
    "Planned Exterior construction site."
    Not that, either.
[07:20] ---
    The best thing to do to make
    your way in Academy City
[07:23] ---
    is to suck up to the researchers here.
[07:26] ---
    Interfering with their work
    would be out of the question.
[07:30] ---
    Please stop medicating Dolly!
[07:35] ---
    Ah. I'd gotten a report that we had
    a break-in at the data center. It was you?
[07:42] ---
    If so, then you now know
    what she is, don't you?
[07:47] ---
    Dolly is a c-clone,
    and she's your g-guinea pig for research
[07:50] ---
    that will help you make
    mass-produced clones that live longer.
[07:56] ---
    You're dosing Dolly with all kinds of drugs,
[07:58] ---
    with no regard for her health,
    just to collect your data!
[08:02] ---
    Your crazy drugs are making
    her already short life even shorter!
[08:10] ---
    Clones are just like us! They are alive!
[08:15] ---
    Please stop the experiments!
[08:16] ---
    And if I say we can't?
[08:18] ---
    Th-Then I'll go public
    with this research data!
[08:23] ---
    Who's going to believe
    the wild stories of a child?
[08:25] ---
    Even so, if I talk to
    the governing board about it,
[08:28] ---
    they'll do an on-site inspection...
[08:31] ---
    That won't happen.
[08:33] ---
    The ones who spearheaded these experiments
[08:36] ---
    are the governing board.
[08:39] ---
    Clones are just like us, are they?
    Well, you're right.
[08:44] ---
    Clones and you espers are
    both the same in Academy City--
[08:48] ---
    nothing more than experiment fodder.
[08:50] ---
    Why, you...!
[09:05] ---
    You're going to leave her alive?
[09:07] ---
    For better or worse,
    she does have a high dormant ability.
[09:11] ---
    Once Exterior is complete,
    she is likely to come in handy.
[09:19] ---
    Dolly...
[09:22] ---
    I was held in confinement for months--
[09:25] ---
    no, it might have been even longer than that.
[09:36] ---
    Then suddenly, one day,
    the guard disappeared...
[09:41] ---
    ...and when I went outside...
[09:44] ---
    ...the research facility
    was completely deserted.
[10:04] ---
    Go ahead and look down on us from on high.
[10:08] ---
    I'll show you that even lab rats...
[10:11] ---
    ...have fangs that can still bite into you.
[10:15] ---
    But from that moment on,
    my days were spent tormented
[10:17] ---
    by disappointment and
    feelings of powerlessness.
[10:25] ---
    My carefully-planned assassination
    mission ended in failure.
[10:29] ---
    What I learned was that
    even if there were 10,000 of me,
[10:33] ---
    the fact remained that the
    governing board was out of my reach.
[10:38] ---
    Take the mask off of her for me.
[10:45] ---
    Where am I?
[10:48] ---
    Who's this old geezer?
[10:51] ---
    Mm-hmm, you have a keen look in your eye.
[10:54] ---
    Eyes smoldering with
    the smoke of the embers of hatred.
[11:01] ---
    Let me come right to the point.
[11:03] ---
    How would you like the power to
    blow away Academy City without a trace?
[11:09] ---
    Huh?
[11:12] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[11:13] ---
    It sounds too good to be true.
[11:16] ---
    But why me?
[11:18] ---
    Hmm... Dogma, perhaps?
[11:21] ---
    High-minded ideals and rapacious ambitions
[11:25] ---
    both unravel when a person's capacity
    to tolerate stress is exceeded, you see.
[11:30] ---
    Which is why...
[11:31] ---
    I place no trust in resolve,
    whether it's by nature, or by nurture.
[11:36] ---
    If it doesn't kick in when it's crunch time,
    it can be a real turnoff.
[11:41] ---
    On the other hand, tremendous
    hatred is unwaveringly beautiful.
[11:46] ---
    One won't think twice about giving
    their life for the sake of vengeance.
[11:51] ---
    I'm banking on the dogma of hatred.
[12:02] ---
    The Judgment girl isn't here...
[12:06] ---
    Handcuffs? These are
    meaningless with my ability...
[12:14] ---
    Why bother?
[12:17] ---
    If I'm still alive, it means
    that the project must have failed.
[12:22] ---
    I could just stay here and be rat food...
[12:35] ---
    Shokuho Misaki...?
[12:43] ---
    I peeked inside Gensei's memories,
    thinking "just maybe," and sure enough...
[12:50] ---
    You were "Mi," weren't you?
[12:53] ---
    I was wondering why I had to play
    the part of the girl who abandoned Dolly,
[12:58] ---
    but maybe I should have looked
    into it closer a lot sooner.
[13:03] ---
    It wouldn't be fair to Miss Shirai,
[13:05] ---
    so I'll have you turn yourself
    in soon enough, but first,
[13:08] ---
    I need you to come with me for a bit.
[13:10] ---
    Huh?
[13:11] ---
    I learned something
    when I read Gensei's memories.
[13:15] ---
    Dolly had a sister that was
    created around the same time.
[13:21] ---
    The purpose of Dolly's creation
[13:23] ---
    wasn't just to establish
    the technical skills of cloning.
[13:26] ---
    She was also a specimen used
    to help create a network
[13:29] ---
    that would conduct data
    sharing between the clones.
[13:32] ---
    Dolly's memories and experiences were
    all transferred into another individual,
[13:37] ---
    where they still remain.
[13:39] ---
    This "younger sister" is lying asleep
    in a certain research facility.
[13:45] ---
    And while she shares her memories
    and experiences, she is not Dolly.
[13:50] ---
    Still, we can't just leave her there, right?
[13:53] ---
    Nothing beats having a stronger hand,
    so I need you to come with me.
[13:58] ---
    Why?
[14:02] ---
    You didn't have to explain all that to me.
[14:04] ---
    You could have just used
    your ability to control me.
[14:08] ---
    Did I need to control you, though?
[14:13] ---
    No, you didn't.
[14:13] ---
    "#15 Promise"
[14:17] ---
    All right, here's to
    Shirai's complete recovery...
[14:21] ---
    --Cheers!
    --Cheers!
[14:23] ---
    "Congratulations, Shirai Kuroko"
[14:24] ---
    Honestly, you are making too much of it.
[14:26] ---
    "Congratulations"
[14:27] ---
    It has been a whole week
    since I got out of the hospital.
[14:30] ---
    Still, with the Daihasei Festival going on,
    we never properly celebrated.
[14:36] ---
    Also, today's the day you stopped
    needing your wheelchair. Here.
[14:43] ---
    Well whatever the occasion,
[14:45] ---
    I am always happy to eat
    anything that you prepare, Sissy.
[14:51] ---
    Nonetheless, why are you doing it here?
[14:54] ---
    Now, now, don't be so rigid.
    Oh, let me refill your drink, Miss Konori!
[14:59] ---
    I'll make an exception today.
[15:01] ---
    Thank you very much!
[15:04] ---
    Come to think of it, Miss Misaka,
[15:07] ---
    how has your mother been since the incident?
[15:09] ---
    Huh? Mama?
[15:11] ---
    Oh, um, I think she's fine.
[15:14] ---
    Is that right? That's great.
[15:16] ---
    Uiharu is concerned about involving
    your mother in that affair, Sissy.
[15:21] ---
    Huh?
[15:23] ---
    They still have memories
    of that incident... Then,
[15:28] ---
    how do they remember me being there, too?
[15:31] ---
    I'm sure Shokuho must
    have made some revisions...
[15:34] ---
    Still, Uiharu, you got caught up
    in that business, too, right?
[15:38] ---
    I mean, you got knocked out by the bad guy.
[15:40] ---
    Yes, that's true, but...
[15:42] ---
    as a member of Judgment,
    I feel like I wasn't good for anything.
[15:44] ---
    But Miss Shirai came along
    and ended things without incident,
[15:47] ---
    so we'll call it all good.
[15:48] ---
    I just wish you had informed me of
    the incident when it happened, though.
[15:53] ---
    Yes, you are right.
    I wonder why I did not contact you.
[15:57] ---
    I am terribly sorry for that, Miss Konori.
[16:00] ---
    It sounds like she just erased
    the fact that I was there at all.
[16:03] ---
    Come to think of it, she had me stuck
    in the bathroom with an upset stomach.
[16:08] ---
    Unless you're prepared
    to kill me to stop me...
[16:11] ---
    "Congratulations, Shirai Kuroko"
[16:11] ---
    Well, let's use this party today
    to wipe the slate clean!
[16:15] ---
    Saying that does not cancel out your
    involvement with Shadow Metal, Saten.
[16:22] ---
    That was a big deal, huh?
[16:23] ---
    What's this, now?
[16:25] ---
    --As it happens, Miss Saten was--
    --Here, Uiharu! Aah...!
[16:29] ---
    --There you go. Do you want some more?
    It's good, huh? Go ahead.
[16:29] ---
    --Hold on! Sissy made that especially for me!
    --There you go. Do you want some more?
    It's good, huh? Go ahead.
[16:33] ---
    Is something the matter, Sissy?
[16:35] ---
    Hmm? Oh, mm-mm, I was just thinking
    how nice it was to have friends.
[16:43] ---
    I really am glad I'm not out of
    their circle anymore, the way I was.
[16:51] ---
    Okay, here. You can have this.
[16:54] ---
    Huh?
[16:55] ---
    You need it to make
    your ability work, don't you?
[17:10] ---
    That's what she wanted to see.
[17:12] ---
    Huh?
[17:22] ---
    So, you're saying Dolly
    recognized you as being me?
[17:26] ---
    Yeah. At the time, I didn't yet have
    the power to alter memories.
[17:31] ---
    Still, at some point, I think she
    figured out that I wasn't really you.
[17:35] ---
    I see. She had some
    surprisingly keen instincts.
[17:43] ---
    Thanks.
[17:44] ---
    Huh?
[17:45] ---
    Thanks to you, Dolly wasn't alone at the end.
[17:50] ---
    That was the thing that's stayed
    with me more than anything.
[18:11] ---
    Dolly...
[18:25] ---
    Mi...
[18:27] ---
    Mi...?
[18:29] ---
    Is that you, Mi?
[18:46] ---
    I've missed you.
[18:48] ---
    I was afraid you didn't like me anymore...
[18:51] ---
    I was afraid you thought
    I was disgusting... so...
[18:53] ---
    You dummy. That's not true at all.
[18:57] ---
    I remember this smell...
[19:00] ---
    I love your smell...
[19:08] ---
    Wait!
[19:10] ---
    You're Misaki, right?
[19:12] ---
    Why, whoever might that be?
[19:16] ---
    Misaki, I know it's you.
[19:19] ---
    You were both together with me
    in my dream for so long, after all.
[19:22] ---
    The times we spent with you are
    the only memories we have.
[19:31] ---
    I'm sorry!
[19:34] ---
    I'm sorry for tricking you for so long!
[19:36] ---
    I'm sorry I didn't catch on to their lies!
[19:39] ---
    I'm sorry for butting into
    your memories without your knowledge!
[19:44] ---
    I'm sorry to have become
    so preoccupied in a feel-good lie.
[19:49] ---
    If only I had looked into who "Mi" was...
[19:53] ---
    I could have reunited her with Dolly.
[19:55] ---
    I'd have learned what the
    experiment was about,
[19:57] ---
    and I'm sure Dolly wouldn't have had to die.
[20:01] ---
    This is all my fault for wedging
    my way in between you two!
[20:06] ---
    I'll do anything to make up for it...
[20:11] ---
    Okay, take me to the ocean.
[20:16] ---
    After that, I want to ride a
    roller coaster at an amusement park,
[20:20] ---
    and see a hippo at the zoo...
[20:22] ---
    Oh, and I also want to go on a plane.
[20:25] ---
    And I want to see the auroras in Finland,
[20:27] ---
    and play with the dolphins in Hawaii,
    and the llamas in Machu Picchu.
[20:31] ---
    Oh, no, that's too much.
    You want to go around the world?
[20:36] ---
    Actually,
[20:38] ---
    as long as the three of us
    are together, anywhere is fine.
[20:42] ---
    Is that... too much?
[20:50] ---
    Honestly, you always ignore
    whatever I say, and assert your own ideas.
[20:56] ---
    Your willfulness is through the roof.
[20:59] ---
    I really don't know what to do about you.
[21:13] ---
    Good.
[21:14] ---
    Looks like your fever is down, too.
    I think we can rest easy now.
[21:18] ---
    "However, while Misaka was lying in bed,
[21:21] ---
    the Daihasei Festival concluded,"
    says Misaka, bemoaning her situation.
[21:28] ---
    Oh, don't pout.
    I'll take you out somewhere, okay?
[21:32] ---
    Where would you like to go?
[21:34] ---
    The ocean...
[21:35] ---
    The ocean? Beach season is already over.
[21:39] ---
    "For some unknown reason,
[21:41] ---
    Misaka wants to make an exciting
    promise with someone dear to her,"
[21:47] ---
    says Misaka, having a strange sense
    of déjà vu and feeling sentimental.

    "#16 Dream Ranker"
[23:26] ---
    If you could dream any dream you wanted,
    what would you dream, Uiharu?
[23:29] ---
    I... would dream of eating all kinds
    of delicious food willy-nilly!
[23:33] ---
    You do that all the time anyway.
    What about you, Shirai?
[23:35] ---
    I would, of course--
[23:37] ---
    Ah, on second thought, never mind.
[23:41] ---
    
[23:43] ---
