[00:37] ---
Would you assail me,
[00:40] ---
knowing that I am Kongo Mitsuko
of Tokiwadai Middle School?
[00:44] ---
"Assault" you?
[00:46] ---
Leave it to a little darling
[00:47] ---
to use different words
than the rest of us. Right?
[00:52] ---
It sounds like your
grasp of Japanese is slim.
[00:56] ---
In that case, I will take you on.
[01:02] ---
What's the matter? Got a headache?
[01:05] ---
What is this...?
[01:13] ---
Who the hell are you?!
[01:16] ---
Hey, now, picking
on girls is something...
[01:21] ---
...we can't have, can we?
[01:24] ---
Who's there...?
[01:31] ---
This would appear to put a stop
to the recent outbreak of esper hunts
[01:35] ---
being conducted by Skill Out, would it not?
[01:36] ---
Are you all right?
[01:37] ---
Y-Yes...
[01:39] ---
Who would have thought that
they would go after Kongo Mitsuko?
[01:42] ---
It does not matter
how many of them ganged up,
[01:46] ---
Level 0 stray dogs are
no match for a Level 4 esper,
[01:49] ---
as they are now painfully aware--
[01:51] ---
It didn't happen like that.
[01:54] ---
According to what she said,
[01:56] ---
she was unable to use
her ability, for some reason.
[01:59] ---
That's when an unidentified
person appeared, and...
[02:03] ---
Tamezo?
[02:05] ---
Miss Konori?
[02:07] ---
Oh, sorry. Let's see...
Is Miss Uiharu's questioning going well?
[02:12] ---
Yes.
[02:14] ---
After that, I passed out,
[02:17] ---
And when you came to again,
they were all down on the ground?
[02:20] ---
Yes.
[02:21] ---
If there is anything that you remember...
[02:24] ---
Yes, well...
[02:25] ---
I do not know what they are called,
[02:28] ---
but those leather articles
[02:30] ---
that those gentlemen who ride
on their motorcycles often wear...
[02:33] ---
A leather jacket?
[02:35] ---
Yes, that's it!
[02:37] ---
A black leather jacket.
Also, the gentleman who was carrying it
[02:42] ---
had what looked like a large
black spider tattoo on his back.
[02:46] ---
Miss Konori, is something the matter?
You somehow seem...
[02:51] ---
Mm-mm, it's nothing.
[02:54] ---
So did this man with the leather
jacket and black spider tattoo
[02:58] ---
beat all of them up?
[03:16] ---
Resonating wishes now awaken
[03:20] ---
for the sake of a future I can't concede
[03:23] ---
Beyond surpassing
our destined encounter
[03:27] ---
my feelings will still shine
[03:33] ---
Entrusting my dreams
to a future elsewhere
[03:39] ---
I kept searching for
the real meaning of strength
[03:46] ---
I learned the meaning
of accepting pain as it is
[03:53] ---
from you, always running toward tomorrow
[03:59] ---
The background rushes on now around me
[04:03] ---
beyond the world I draw in
[04:06] ---
I feel the signal pouring
in with my whole body
[04:10] ---
and now release everything I have
[04:13] ---
Just truth in my heart
[04:14] ---
I will never waver
[04:17] ---
because I have indelible dreams
[04:20] ---
And without averting my eyes
from the truth being revealed
[04:24] ---
I'll reach the next stage to realize all
[04:27] ---
believing in our certain bond
[04:35] ---
Big Spider?
[04:37] ---
That's the name of the organization
[04:39] ---
that has been carrying
out a string of esper hunts?
[04:42] ---
Big Spider is a fairly
well-known organization,
[04:45] ---
even within Skill Out.
[04:47] ---
They had their own sense of pride
once, and knew where the line was.
[04:52] ---
But lately, they've become
just a band of outlaws.
[04:56] ---
When you say "pride" among Skill Out,
[04:59] ---
you mean a cynical mob,
sulking at the rest of the world.
[05:02] ---
Yes, but even so,
[05:04] ---
there's dissatisfaction, indignation,
[05:08] ---
and a still-inescapable admiration
of espers smoldering within them.
[05:11] ---
Miss Konori,
you know a lot about them, huh?
[05:14] ---
O-Oh, I suppose.
[05:16] ---
That's Miss Konori for you!
[05:20] ---
Miss Kongo was attacked?!
[05:23] ---
Now, now, Sissy, take it easy.
[05:26] ---
Ganging up and attacking girls
is the lowest thing men can do!
[05:30] ---
Misaka, you sure do seem worked up over this.
[05:34] ---
No, I guess I just can't stand
people who don't do what they can,
[05:38] ---
and just try to escape from reality.
[05:42] ---
It sounds like you're talking about me.
[05:45] ---
Huh? Saten, you're not like that.
[05:48] ---
That is right.
[05:49] ---
When everyone crosses against
a red light, that is Skill Out.
[05:53] ---
It is significantly different
than the guts it takes
[05:55] ---
when you, Saten, cross all alone...
[05:57] ---
Miss Shirai, I'm not
sure you're helping at all, here.
[06:01] ---
But Skill Out are all a bunch
of Level 0 runaways, right?
[06:05] ---
Why would they be conducting esper hunts?
[06:07] ---
It is a numbers game.
No matter how brilliant an esper may be,
[06:11] ---
it is still difficult for them
to face a large crowd of people.
[06:15] ---
Besides, we have information
that this Big Spider organization
[06:18] ---
has obtained illegal weapons
through black-market channels.
[06:24] ---
I'm beginning to wish they'd
tangle with me even more now.
[06:28] ---
Sissy...
[06:29] ---
If you want someone to tangle
with you, I would love to, any time!
[06:33] ---
I don't mean like that!
[06:36] ---
So, all of those Skill Out
people who attacked Miss Kongo
[06:41] ---
ended up being caught, right?
[06:42] ---
Word is that some mystery person
beat them all up in one shot.
[06:45] ---
Oh yeah? A champion of justice
who was just passing by?
[06:48] ---
That is absurd!
[06:49] ---
It is outrageous that someone
other than Antiskill or Judgment
[06:52] ---
would exercise force like this!
[06:55] ---
They are a full-fledged criminal!
[07:04] ---
It couldn't be...
[07:06] ---
...you, Senpai, could it?
[07:10] ---
Mr. Kurozuma...
[07:10] ---
Huh?
[07:12] ---
The thing is...
[07:13] ---
the guy that took out
Tamezo and the others is...
[07:19] ---
Don't you tell tall tales!
[07:21] ---
I know what I heard!
[07:27] ---
Yeah. He's dead.
There's no way he could still be alive.
[07:34] ---
Hey, you guys!
[07:36] ---
Say my name!
[07:38] ---
Kurozuma Wataru!
[07:39] ---
That's right. I'm Kurozuma.
I'm the head of Big Spider!
[07:44] ---
You guys haven't forgotten, have you?
[07:47] ---
The look--that taunting
look that the espers give us?
[07:52] ---
That's why we're
gonna knock them on their asses!
[07:55] ---
Show them the terror of a
Skill Out that means business!
[07:58] ---
Yes, boss!
[08:01] ---
Big Spider again?
[08:03] ---
This is the third time this week alone.
[08:06] ---
They are starting to kick into high gear.
[08:08] ---
We'll have to give them a good walloping.
[08:10] ---
Sissy... Sissy, your "walloping"
causes too much damage.
[08:16] ---
It looks like it was two
years ago that Big Spider
[08:19] ---
first started expanding their influence.
[08:22] ---
It was right at that same time
when they started taking up weapons,
[08:24] ---
and carried out repeated criminal acts.
[08:27] ---
That makes sense. So they took
up arms, and started letting loose.
[08:31] ---
But how would they get those
things in from outside Academy City?
[08:36] ---
The distribution of
goods is strictly enforced,
[08:39] ---
and illegal items are
naturally excluded, aren't they?
[08:43] ---
They do say that snakes
follow the way of serpents.
[08:46] ---
There could be others who are
setting up routes for these guys.
[08:50] ---
You are saying they have backing?
[08:52] ---
--Mm-hmm.
[08:53] ---
--I get you.
--Mm-hmm.
[08:54] ---
It is worth looking into.
[08:56] ---
Um...
[08:58] ---
I've also discovered one other
thing--the leader of Big Spider.
[09:02] ---
His name is Kurozuma Wataru.
He seems like a rather vicious man.
[09:07] ---
He appears to be someone with
no qualms about betraying his friends.
[09:10] ---
He's said to be the kind of
man who would shoot you in the back
[09:13] ---
if you talk about leaving his group.
[09:16] ---
In other words,
the man is a real low-life.
[09:20] ---
Oh, and speaking of backs,
[09:22] ---
he supposedly has a
tattoo of a spider on his back.
[09:26] ---
A spider?
[09:27] ---
Huh? Didn't the man who
rescued Miss Kongo also have one?
[09:31] ---
That man is Kurozuma Wataru?
How can that be?
[09:35] ---
What if it turns out
he wasn't rescuing her,
[09:37] ---
and this is just a simple falling out?
[09:39] ---
He is the sort who would
shoot you in the back, right?
[09:42] ---
Indeed. That is a possibility, huh?
[09:45] ---
Um, his base of operations
is an area of School District 10,
[09:50] ---
known as "Strange."
[09:53] ---
Are we going?
[09:54] ---
It is outside of our jurisdiction,
[09:56] ---
but since we are investigating
a case that happened in District 7,
[09:58] ---
we could make it stick.
[10:00] ---
Miss Konori?
[10:02] ---
I'm sorry, but I absolutely must
get these reports compiled today.
[10:06] ---
Huh?
[10:07] ---
Well, let's go.
[10:09] ---
Let's go? Sissy...!
[10:10] ---
We're pinch-hitting for Miss Konori. Come on!
[10:12] ---
H-Hold on, Sissy! Oh, my, how demanding!
[10:18] ---
Miss Shirai...
[10:20] ---
...sure seems happy.
[10:26] ---
This is Big Spider's home,
also known as "Strange."
[10:33] ---
Wow.
[10:35] ---
Neat...
[10:36] ---
...is not how I would describe it.
[10:38] ---
They say that fish
do not live in clear waters,
[10:43] ---
but I have to admit...
[10:44] ---
Well, this may be a
fitting place for any group
[10:48] ---
who would do what Skill Out does.
[10:56] ---
Skill Out may be who they are,
[10:58] ---
but to claim complete control,
and leave a place like this as it is,
[11:02] ---
Academy City is who they are.
[11:04] ---
The mood feels like we are
becoming more and more welcome.
[11:08] ---
That's because you're wearing that thing.
[11:10] ---
Wha--?! Th-That is because
you were in such a rush, Sissy!
[11:13] ---
I was planning to wear a disguise, and...
[11:16] ---
Ladies, what are you up to?
[11:18] ---
Hey, there, they're Judgment.
[11:21] ---
--There, you see?
--I'm so scared! Are you gonna catch us?
[11:22] ---
--Sissy...
--I'm so scared! Are you gonna catch us?
[11:23] ---
What could they be squabbling about?
[11:26] ---
It's too late to turn back now.
[11:27] ---
Hold up.
[11:31] ---
Messing with girls like this is something...
[11:39] ---
...we can't have, can we?
[11:42] ---
Huh?
[11:43] ---
#15 Skill Out
[11:43] ---
Milk?
[11:47] ---
Huh? Who are you?
[11:51] ---
Hold on a second.
[11:52] ---
Huh? Wait...
[11:54] ---
Don't go trying to play
the hero in front of those girls.
[11:58] ---
Now, now...
[11:59] ---
Just turn around and get lost, right now.
[12:05] ---
U-Um, w-will this be acceptable?
[12:09] ---
Yeah, thanks for going to the trouble.
[12:12] ---
Yeah, w-well, we have to be going now.
[12:14] ---
Yeah, take care of yourselves.
[12:21] ---
When it comes to milk,
it's gotta be Musasino.
[12:24] ---
I don't remember ever asking for your help.
[12:28] ---
Sorry about that.
[12:29] ---
I knew a girl a long time ago whose
bust was about the size of yours.
[12:33] ---
I couldn't just walk away.
[12:36] ---
A gentleman just made
a remark about our breasts...
[12:39] ---
...and surprisingly,
it didn't sound offensive.
[12:41] ---
Ah, hold on a minute!
[12:44] ---
Sissy!
[12:53] ---
Huh? Mii, are you home already?
[12:56] ---
This is unusual, you being home this early.
[12:59] ---
What about your Judgment work?
[13:01] ---
I'm doing it, to be sure. What about you?
[13:03] ---
You could stop by the branch once in a while.
[13:06] ---
Being on campus is enough on its own.
[13:08] ---
I'm too busy with matters of love and youth.
[13:10] ---
Geez, you're always like this.
[13:13] ---
Hey, did something happen?
[13:19] ---
Not really.
[13:23] ---
Okay.
[13:24] ---
Well, since you're home early for once,
[13:27] ---
Mii, it's your turn to fix dinner tonight.
[13:29] ---
Huh? Hang on, Aomi!
[13:36] ---
Nice, isn't it?
[13:38] ---
It's kind of a secret spot.
It's suffocating down below,
[13:44] ---
but the breeze up here feels good.
[13:47] ---
The view of Strange from up here
[13:49] ---
is no different than it was two years ago.
[13:51] ---
Two years ago?
[13:53] ---
Well, a lot can happen.
[13:54] ---
I have to wonder, though,
[13:56] ---
why do the Skill Out
people all gather to this area?
[14:00] ---
You two wouldn't understand.
[14:04] ---
It's not like I don't
understand, you know?
[14:06] ---
Understand what?
[14:07] ---
The way Skill Out feels.
[14:11] ---
You try and try again,
but your level never rises.
[14:14] ---
There comes a time when you lose hope.
[14:17] ---
It's like, you feel like
just chucking everything.
[14:23] ---
We really have gone
and chucked everything.
[14:27] ---
We've left behind Academy City,
[14:29] ---
where everything
is judged on your ability.
[14:33] ---
Miss Saten...
[14:35] ---
Huh? No, no!
I'm not chucking anything anymore.
[14:41] ---
Mm-hmm, I'll never chuck it again.
[14:45] ---
For us, abilities are the
blue sky that we can never reach.
[14:49] ---
Like we're looking up at it
from the narrow alleys of this city.
[14:52] ---
Y'know?
[14:54] ---
But Skill Out is still Skill Out, right?
[14:57] ---
They're never up to any
good when they act as a group.
[15:01] ---
That's pretty harsh.
[15:03] ---
By the way, what are you two here for?
[15:06] ---
Oh, right!
[15:07] ---
We're looking for an
organization called Big Spider.
[15:11] ---
I'd advise against dropping
that name too much around here.
[15:16] ---
Then, do you recognize
the name Kurozuma Wataru?
[15:19] ---
No, I don't.
[15:21] ---
Well, have a safe return trip.
[15:27] ---
Sissy, what is the matter?
[15:29] ---
There's just... something
about him that bothers me.
[15:33] ---
M-My, my! Sissy, for you
to be interested in a gentleman
[15:37] ---
is something that I... that I...
[15:39] ---
Ow...
[15:40] ---
He said he had come back
here after two years away, right?
[15:44] ---
So what about it?
[15:46] ---
It was two years ago that Big Spider
also started expanding its influence.
[15:51] ---
Doesn't that raise any flags?
[15:52] ---
Now that you mention it...
[15:54] ---
Let's go try somewhere else.
We might be able to learn something.
[15:58] ---
Oh, Sissy! Please wait for me!
[16:02] ---
What are you guys doing?!
[16:04] ---
There have now been over a dozen guys
[16:07] ---
from esper hunting parties taken out!
[16:09] ---
And without any leads!
[16:11] ---
W-We are looking for anything...
[16:13] ---
You're looking?
[16:15] ---
Don't just look, find something!
[16:18] ---
Do you know why you can't find anything?
[16:21] ---
It's because they're dissing us!
[16:24] ---
Listen up, men!
Don't let yourselves be dissed!
[16:26] ---
Hunt down espers,
[16:28] ---
and show those guys just
how much power Big Spider has!
[16:33] ---
Do that, and nobody is
gonna go against us no more!
[16:37] ---
Yeah!
[16:43] ---
He's alive?
[16:46] ---
No, that can't be right.
[16:49] ---
But...
[16:50] ---
...if he is alive...
[16:58] ---
If he is alive...
[17:01] ---
W-What?!
[17:03] ---
A-Are you guys Skill Out?!
[17:05] ---
You're messing with
the wrong guy! I'm a Level--
[17:17] ---
Well? Unless the rest
of you want to end up like him--
[17:25] ---
Now you've done it!
[17:28] ---
Where's all that spunk
you had a minute ago? Eh?
[17:31] ---
Go ahead and use your ability.
[17:33] ---
That is, if you can concentrate enough
to calculate while being beaten!
[17:38] ---
Survival of the fittest
is the rule in Academy City.
[17:41] ---
Right now, you guys are the prey.
[17:44] ---
Then...
[17:45] ---
...you guys are ready
to face being prey, too, right?
[17:49] ---
Judgment!
[17:51] ---
What do you want?!
[17:53] ---
You keep your noses out of this, kids--
[17:59] ---
Why is it like this?
[18:02] ---
I left the victim with the nearby branch.
[18:05] ---
Good work.
[18:07] ---
Geez, after all that searching around
Strange, and not finding anything,
[18:11] ---
to catch these guys while just
walking the street like normal...
[18:14] ---
Well, all is well that ends well.
[18:17] ---
Hmph, I guess so. Well...
[18:23] ---
What is this?
[18:27] ---
Judgment!
[18:29] ---
What do they want?
[18:30] ---
You shouldn't be messing around here, kids.
[18:32] ---
Huh? Judgment?
[18:36] ---
What the hell do you want?
[18:37] ---
Kurozuma Wataru, right?
[18:40] ---
As ringleader in the acts of violence
against espers, you are under arrest.
[18:47] ---
Arrest, huh?
[18:49] ---
Sorry, but I don't have
time to play house with you.
[18:52] ---
Get lost.
[18:53] ---
What a rude thing to say.
[18:55] ---
I'm trying to tell you nicely,
[18:57] ---
but if you don't get that, we can
make you understand the hard way.
[19:01] ---
Sissy...
[19:03] ---
I can handle the likes
of these guys all on my own.
[19:07] ---
You can decide that
[19:08] ---
after you see what we're capable of!
[19:13] ---
What is that sound?!
[19:15] ---
It feels like it is reverberating
directly inside my head!
[19:19] ---
What's wrong?
[19:22] ---
I can't jump!
[19:23] ---
What's wrong, little lady?
I thought you could take us alone!
[19:28] ---
Kuroko!
[19:33] ---
That can't be! My aim
and power are both entirely...
[19:36] ---
...heh, beyond your control?
[19:38] ---
Naturally, you wouldn't know this,
[19:41] ---
but this is a "Capacity Down" system.
[19:44] ---
I don't know much about it,
but the gist of it is,
[19:46] ---
the sound jumbles up the
arithmetic capacity of the brain.
[19:50] ---
But, for those of us in Skill Out,
all we hear is a high-pitched sound.
[19:57] ---
How on earth did they get this...?
[20:00] ---
Hmph, if you'll say
"Please forgive us, Mr. Kurozuma,"
[20:04] ---
I'll think about doing so.
[20:07] ---
Oh? Did you just say you were Kurozuma?
[20:12] ---
I-It's him!
[20:14] ---
Yeah! That's the man!
[20:16] ---
Mr. Kurozuma, that's the man!
[20:18] ---
He's the one that interfered with us!
[20:21] ---
Mr. Kurozuma...
[20:24] ---
What is going on?
[20:26] ---
--Mr. Kurozuma, what's
the matter? Mr. Kurozuma!
[20:27] ---
--Let's see...
--Mr. Kurozuma, what's the matter? Mr. Kurozuma!
[20:30] ---
There!
[20:31] ---
The sound!
[20:32] ---
It's gone!
[20:34] ---
You okay?
[20:36] ---
And you?
[20:37] ---
Y-Yeah...
[20:38] ---
Um...
[20:39] ---
Would you hold this for me?
[20:43] ---
Hebitani, long time no see.
[20:46] ---
I-It can't be... You're supposed to be dead!
[20:50] ---
After everything that happened,
[20:51] ---
there's no way you should be alive!
[20:53] ---
Okay, fine, I'm a ghost.
[20:55] ---
Ghost?
[20:57] ---
If you're a ghost, then why
don't you go back to your grave?!
[21:02] ---
Go on, let him have it!
[21:04] ---
He's just one man!
We all have weapons, too!
[21:09] ---
Hebitani, you've changed.
[21:16] ---
Die!
[21:19] ---
Give it up.
[21:20] ---
With your aim, the most
you could hit is one of your own!
[21:39] ---
Please, wait for us!
[21:47] ---
Well?
[21:48] ---
Feel a little better now?
[21:50] ---
I still don't feel up to
full power, but more or less.
[21:54] ---
That man wasn't Kurozuma?
[21:57] ---
Long ago, his name was Hebitani.
[22:00] ---
Apparently, he goes by Kurozuma now.
[22:02] ---
So, the real Kurozuma is you, right?
[22:06] ---
I suppose I've been called that.
[22:11] ---
--When it comes to milk...
--...it's gotta be Musasino.
[22:16] ---
Miss Konori!
[22:19] ---
It's been a long time, Mii.
[22:45] ---
Is the destiny my
finger has drawn a bead on
[22:51] ---
one of despair, or one of hope?
[22:57] ---
Just give me the courage not to yield
[23:03] ---
to the sorrows I pick up
[23:06] ---
among the fluctuations
[23:08] ---
I believe strength is there
[23:14] ---
to protect what is important
[23:19] ---
Saving our future together,
[23:25] ---
let's open the door to tomorrow and take off
[23:31] ---
Shooting through to the ends
[23:37] ---
of a certain world with real force
[23:42] ---
Release your light!
[24:00] ---
Say, Miss Konori, what's going on?
Why are you so upset?
[24:01] ---
#16 Academy City
[24:03] ---
My, Sissy, you are so jejune.
[24:06] ---
Next week's story will be more mature, too.
