**[00:24] ---**
Awesome! It's like a part of my body--
**[00:27] ---**
like moving my own arms or legs--
**[00:30] ---**
this sensation of bringing
all of the air under my control!
**[00:34] ---**
It looks like fighting a strong opponent
**[00:36] ---**
really *was* a shortcut
to leveling up, huh?!
**[00:39] ---**
Right, third-string?!
**[00:42] ---**
With all my gratitude,
I'll leave no trace of you--
**[00:46] ---**
Huh?
**[00:49] ---**
What's happening?
**[00:52] ---**
The plasma is diffusing.
**[00:54] ---**
Just what is going on with this wind?
**[00:57] ---**
Wind power manipulation? No...
**[01:00] ---**
The windmills are turning the wrong way?
**[01:03] ---**
Hold on. I've heard about this.
**[01:05] ---**
It had something to do with
dynamo motors turning on their own
**[01:07] ---**
when hit with particular
electromagnetic waves.
**[01:11] ---**
It's them?!
**[01:12] ---**
Damn it. But what's going on, here?
**[01:15] ---**
Those windmills aren't just spinning blindly.
**[01:19] ---**
They're being directed,
to disrupt my formulas!
**[01:24] ---**
The images she's seeing
are going across the network?
**[01:35] ---**
I'll crush you!
**[01:39] ---**
I won't let you!
**[02:01] ---**
*sister's noise, I keep on looking
(sorrow of your heart...)*
**[02:04] ---**
*for where your lost heart is
(I shoot it down...)*
**[02:08] ---**
*Nobody can ruin the feelings
we've built up together*
**[02:18] ---**
*The oft-repeated truth is still distant*
**[02:24] ---**
*while I am unable to sense your pain*
**[02:31] ---**
*If the dreams you
committed to me that day*
**[02:34] ---**
*end up tearing me apart,*
**[02:38] ---**
*don't ever let go of that hope*
**[02:41] ---**
*more precious than anything else*
**[02:46] ---**
*Though once closer to you than anyone else
(sister's noise...)*
**[02:49] ---**
*I cannot hear your voice
(I find it out...)*
**[02:53] ---**
*While the hands of time kept ticking away*
**[02:57] ---**
*I was finally able to find you*
**[02:59] ---**
*sister's noise, so I keep on looking
(sorrow of your heart...)*
**[03:03] ---**
*for where your lost heart is
(I shoot it down...)*
**[03:06] ---**
*I promise to preserve the shared
smiles we both felt*
**[03:12] ---**
*Nobody can ruin them now*
**[03:50] ---**
I can't understand it.
**[03:52] ---**
Why is the third-string
lying over there,
**[03:55] ---**
as well as yourself,
defending the wind-up doll?
**[03:59] ---**
That's an overproduced,
factory reject of yourself.
**[04:02] ---**
Out of everyone in the whole world,
**[04:04] ---**
you should be the
one most disgusted by it.
**[04:08] ---**
You don't think it's fun to have something
**[04:10] ---**
that has the same
face as you get wrecked?
**[04:12] ---**
But then, that's no reason for
you to put your life on the line, huh?
**[04:19] ---**
Can't stand to have someone
else become a Level 6 before you?
**[04:24] ---**
Or maybe,
**[04:25] ---**
it's some kind of atonement
**[04:27] ---**
for being the one who
kicked off these experiments?
**[04:34] ---**
I don't have any interest
toward that "Mind of God" business,
**[04:37] ---**
nor do I think I'm atoning for
any sin by doing this.
**[04:43] ---**
She's my sister.
**[04:47] ---**
These girls...
**[04:49] ---**
...are my sisters.
**[04:52] ---**
That's the only reason.
**[04:56] ---**
Sorry. I know how unfit
I am now, after all this time, but...
**[05:04] ---**
...just this one time, would you
let me stand here in that capacity?
**[05:11] ---**
Yes.
**[05:17] ---**
I'm not letting a single
one of them die anymore!
**[05:21] ---**
Huh?
**[05:26] ---**
Man...
**[05:28] ---**
Of all the things you
might have said just now...
**[05:31] ---**
Playing at being sisters?
What nonsense!
**[05:34] ---**
You're not going
to let me kill any of them?
**[05:36] ---**
Don't push your luck, downgrade!
**[05:39] ---**
You guys can't even slow me down!
**[05:42] ---**
It's like how visual acuity
can only be measured to 20/10.
**[05:47] ---**
Level 5 is the highest
rating there is in Academy City,
**[05:51] ---**
so I have no choice but to be
content with that level, that's all.
**[05:56] ---**
I'm sick of you, so I'm
gonna kill the whole lot of--
**[06:27] ---**
Impossible.
**[06:29] ---**
Doesn't he know how
many I've killed up to now?
**[06:35] ---**
I know so much about what it takes
to destroy a person, I'm sick of it.
**[06:40] ---**
There's no way he should
be getting up after that.
**[06:51] ---**
What am I doing?!
**[07:00] ---**
He just doesn't know
when he's had it, does he?
**[07:03] ---**
Even with the wind taken from me,
**[07:05] ---**
I can still finish him off
with one touch of my finger.
**[07:10] ---**
Well, this is intriguing.
**[07:13] ---**
As intriguing... as all get-out!
**[07:39] ---**
Clench your teeth, strongest guy...
**[07:44] ---**
The weakest guy is about to ring out...
**[07:49] ---**
Why...?
**[07:51] ---**
Why can't I break this guy?
**[07:55] ---**
Protecting... the wind-up dolls?
**[07:58] ---**
I was one step away from
absolute power!
**[08:02] ---**
Why... am I...
**[08:18] ---**
This power may just turn
the world itself against me,
**[08:24] ---**
and actually bring
destruction upon everything.
**[08:30] ---**
But then...
**[08:33] ---**
...if you had an absolute power,
past that of "mightiest,"
**[08:36] ---**
it just might bring about some changes.
**[08:38] ---**
To that end, go along with the project,
**[08:41] ---**
and carry out the experiments.
**[08:45] ---**
Guinea pig... wind-up doll... clone...
**[08:51] ---**
If power gives rise to conflict,
I could just become an absolute being,
**[08:57] ---**
enough so that nobody
will even want to fight me.
**[09:00] ---**
Once that happens,
**[09:03] ---**
then someday, once again...
**[09:07] ---**
Once that happens, then no longer...
**[09:19] ---**
...no longer... will anyone...
**[09:27] ---**
The Sisters are living as
best as they can!
**[09:30] ---**
These girls are my...
**[09:37] ---**
Really...
**[09:45] ---**
...what am I doing?
**[10:10] ---**
"#16 Sisterhood"
**[10:31] ---**
Huh?
**[10:33] ---**
A-Are you...?
**[10:42] ---**
"Kamijo Toma"
**[10:54] ---**
Excuse me for coming in... oh,
**[10:57] ---**
he's asleep?
**[11:05] ---**
To think that he really did defeat
the first-ranked of Academy City.
**[11:12] ---**
Just how crazy was that of you?
**[11:22] ---**
Sorry, did I wake you? Oh,
**[11:26] ---**
I brought you some get-well cookies.
**[11:28] ---**
I picked out something expensive
from the department store basement.
**[11:31] ---**
so they ought to
be passably good, I'll bet.
**[11:34] ---**
Also, I thought I should probably
say something... you know...
**[11:40] ---**
...to thank...
**[11:40] ---**
When it comes to cookies...
**[11:43] ---**
...aren't homemade the best?
**[11:45] ---**
Huh?
**[11:48] ---**
Just what kind of personality
do you expect from me?
**[11:52] ---**
Oh, it's not like that.
**[11:53] ---**
I'd venture that someone
as ham-handed as you
**[11:54] ---**
would fumble to make crummy,
misshapen cookies.
**[11:57] ---**
Mmm, you see what I mean?
**[12:02] ---**
Like I said, what do
you expect from me?!
**[12:05] ---**
J-Just a minute!
This is a hospital! I'm injured, here!
**[12:08] ---**
You idiot! It's full of
sensitive equipment in here!
**[12:15] ---**
Good grief...
**[12:20] ---**
Last night,
**[12:22] ---**
little sister Misaka came by here.
**[12:25] ---**
She said the experiments
had been suspended.
**[12:29] ---**
Mm-hmm...
**[12:31] ---**
But still... because of me...
**[12:35] ---**
...so many...
**[12:42] ---**
If you hadn't offered your DNA map,
**[12:45] ---**
none of the Sisters
would ever have been born.
**[12:49] ---**
That experiment
was wrong in a lot of ways,
**[12:52] ---**
but I sure do think that
you can at least take pride
**[12:55] ---**
in the fact that
the Sisters were born.
**[13:01] ---**
If they hadn't been born,
**[13:03] ---**
they could never have
been happy or sad, after all.
**[13:10] ---**
Besides, they all...
**[13:13] ---**
...wouldn't want to see you
moping around all by yourself.
**[13:25] ---**
How are your injuries doing?
**[13:28] ---**
Compared to that boy,
this is nothing serious.
**[13:32] ---**
That's good.
**[13:33] ---**
I'm pushing now! Here!
**[13:36] ---**
Yay!
**[13:39] ---**
Lives created by a machine...
**[13:45] ---**
Right after they are born,
they are a blank slate.
**[13:49] ---**
As such, if it is imprinted
onto them that they are lab animals,
**[13:53] ---**
they come to accept that
that's all that they are worth.
**[13:59] ---**
However, if they look
at the world around them,
**[14:02] ---**
like she did, as a single person,
then those girls are sure to...
**[14:10] ---**
So, listen...
**[14:13] ---**
...you probably don't want to see my face,
and can't forgive what I did,
**[14:18] ---**
but I think that there are a
lot of obstacles ahead of you
**[14:21] ---**
in trying to gain an
understanding of the world.
**[14:23] ---**
So... um...
**[14:27] ---**
If there's anything I can do... to...
**[14:31] ---**
...help?
**[14:33] ---**
"This is called 'stand-n-swing',"
**[14:35] ---**
says Misaka, putting
into practice the knowledge
**[14:38] ---**
she gained from Testament,
and becoming one with the wind.
**[14:40] ---**
Wow!
**[14:41] ---**
Amazing!
**[14:47] ---**
"Whoo, any more than that
**[14:49] ---**
and I'm afraid it might aggravate
my injuries, so that's all for me,"
**[14:52] ---**
says Misaka, wiping away her sweat.
**[14:55] ---**
Oh? Is something the matter?
**[14:57] ---**
Mm-mm... Sorry, just leave
me alone a moment.
**[15:00] ---**
Sissy, do it again!
**[15:02] ---**
Huh? No, that's enough.
**[15:05] ---**
"That's not right.
**[15:07] ---**
Being an older sister
means you have an obligation
**[15:10] ---**
to indulge your younger sister."
**[15:11] ---**
Huh?
**[15:12] ---**
...says Misaka, pushing the
brainwashing so it starts young.
**[15:16] ---**
Hey!
**[15:24] ---**
This is what is called a kitten.
**[15:26] ---**
I know!
**[15:28] ---**
Say, are you two ladies sisters?
You look the same!
**[15:33] ---**
You're twins, right?
**[15:35] ---**
Which is the older one,
and which is the younger one?
**[15:37] ---**
Huh?
**[15:38] ---**
The thing is...
**[15:40] ---**
Ah! Wait, I want to guess!
**[15:42] ---**
Let's see... um...
**[15:49] ---**
*You're* the one who said you wanted to!
**[15:52] ---**
You!
**[15:53] ---**
You're the younger sister, right?
You've got a Gekota, after all!
**[15:58] ---**
I've got a stuffed animal, too!
**[16:00] ---**
Huh?!
**[16:00] ---**
"Mmph!"
**[16:02] ---**
...says Misaka, trying to
imitate breaking into laughter.
**[16:06] ---**
It is true that she has juvenile
tastes inappropriate to her age...
**[16:10] ---**
...is unmannerly...
hot-tempered... and belligerent...
**[16:15] ---**
...and for all that, she is a contrarian,
**[16:17] ---**
who won't admit it
when she likes something...
**[16:21] ---**
...but my problem-child older
sister did risk her life for Misaka.
**[16:41] ---**
It is strange.
**[16:42] ---**
Misaka was supposed to be
dead after last night's experiment.
**[16:47] ---**
It was supposed to be a matter of course,
**[16:49] ---**
played out over and over,
more than 10,000 times before.
**[16:53] ---**
And yet, right now, at this moment,
**[16:56] ---**
she continues to be active.
**[17:00] ---**
The Misakas were
created in order to be killed.
**[17:05] ---**
That alone was our *raison d'être*,
the reason why we were born.
**[17:11] ---**
However, Sissy, thanks to you
and that boy, that has been lost.
**[17:18] ---**
We have been downsized.
**[17:19] ---**
Huh?
**[17:19] ---**
We are unemployed.
Turned adrift into the world.
**[17:26] ---**
So...
**[17:28] ---**
"Please remain together with
Misaka from now on in her search,
**[17:32] ---**
as she tries to discover
the meaning of living,"
**[17:37] ---**
says Misaka,
asking a world of indulgence.
**[17:43] ---**
Mm-hmm, if you'll have me.
**[17:54] ---**
Sissy, do it again!
**[17:56] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[18:03] ---**
So that's it.
**[18:05] ---**
That's the reason for all of it?
**[18:07] ---**
Yeah, it is.
**[18:08] ---**
Miss Misaka, huh? Yeah...
**[18:11] ---**
She said there are a lot
of prying eyes in the dorm kitchen,
**[18:15] ---**
and could she come borrow my oven.
It was a full-blown big deal.
**[18:19] ---**
So that's why she went to all of this?
**[18:22] ---**
It's a little bit surprising, huh?
**[18:23] ---**
I know, right?
**[18:24] ---**
But then, I'm glad Misaka
seems to have cheered up.
**[18:28] ---**
Yes, indeed. But who exactly
could she be making this present for?
**[18:33] ---**
She never did say, no matter
how many times I asked her.
**[18:36] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[18:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:40] ---**
For crying out loud...
**[18:42] ---**
Miss Saten sure was enjoying herself.
**[18:45] ---**
It's not as though I made
these because I wanted to, after all.
**[18:48] ---**
It's just a thank-you. A thank-you!
**[18:51] ---**
But then, this *is
*him we're talking about.
**[18:55] ---**
"I was fighting for my own sake.
**[18:57] ---**
I've done nothing that deserves any thanks."
**[19:00] ---**
I'll bet that's what he says.
**[19:03] ---**
Am I just being corny?
**[19:07] ---**
No, no, no! But then,
if that's his reasoning,
**[19:09] ---**
it's still my prerogative
to follow through.
**[19:15] ---**
But wait! If he asks me to
make something homemade,
**[19:17] ---**
then doesn't accept it,
he's gonna pay--
**[19:19] ---**
What's he gonna pay for?
**[19:24] ---**
What are you doing out here?!
**[19:26] ---**
Huh?
**[19:27] ---**
You're still supposed
to be in the hospital, right?
**[19:30] ---**
Oh... hospital costs
are no small potatoes,
**[19:33] ---**
and I've got a hungry roommate
**[19:35] ---**
that gets more violent with
each passing day.
**[19:38] ---**
For that matter,
**[19:39] ---**
what are *you* doing way out here?
**[19:43] ---**
W-Well, I...
**[19:46] ---**
By any chance, were you coming
to visit me again? Heh, yeah, right.
**[19:50] ---**
I-I-I was not!
**[19:53] ---**
You know, you don't
have to deny it that hard.
**[19:56] ---**
You idiot!
**[19:58] ---**
Uh, no, I wasn't coming
to check on you, or anything...
**[20:02] ---**
...that is... lately...
**[20:05] ---**
...you've helped me out an awful lot, so...
**[20:08] ---**
...so... I... offer my...
**[20:15] ---**
...my gra-- grat-- at-- at--
**[20:20] ---**
Ant?
**[20:23] ---**
Oh, you're in the middle of
some independent research?
**[20:26] ---**
It *is* the end of summer
vacation, I guess.
**[20:28] ---**
No! And what am I, a grade-schooler?
**[20:31] ---**
Sorry to interrupt you.
See you around, Zapper.
**[20:44] ---**
Misaka Mikoto!
**[20:46] ---**
Huh?
**[20:47] ---**
My name!
**[20:49] ---**
It's not "Zapper," it's "Misaka Mikoto."
You always call me that.
**[20:53] ---**
Would you just learn it, already?
**[20:56] ---**
Then again, maybe that's
too much to ask of you.
**[21:02] ---**
See you later, Misaka.
**[21:17] ---**
Bad news! Siss--
**[21:20] ---**
What is the matter with you, Sissy?!
**[21:22] ---**
Wah!
**[21:22] ---**
Are you not feeling quite well?!
Are you hurt somewhere?!
**[21:25] ---**
Or perhaps you ate something
that did not agree with you?!
**[21:28] ---**
W-What are you talking about?
A-And what's the bad news?
**[21:33] ---**
Oh, that. The head resident
seems to have learned
**[21:36] ---**
about your streak of staying
out nights without permission.
**[21:39] ---**
She says you better have a
satisfactory explanation.
**[21:43] ---**
That's bad, huh?
I need some excuse... wait....
**[21:46] ---**
Ah, you came all the way out
here just to tell me that? Thanks.
**[21:51] ---**
But how did you know I was here?
**[21:53] ---**
Huh? A-As they say, "like knows like."
**[21:55] ---**
Wherever Sissy is,
there will be Kuroko, as well.
**[21:58] ---**
But more importantly,
are you sure nothing is amiss?
**[22:01] ---**
If anything were
to happen to you, Sissy,
**[22:03] ---**
then I will not sit still--
**[22:05] ---**
For Pete's sake.
**[22:07] ---**
If you keep talking funny,
I'll leave you here.
**[22:11] ---**
Well, Sissy, you were...
**[22:13] ---**
...making a face that
I have never seen before...
**[22:29] ---**
*While looking up
into an unfamiliar sky,*
**[22:35] ---**
*always, always walking with you*
**[22:41] ---**
*I was searching for
the future I thought I saw,*
**[22:47] ---**
*so unlike the one up until a day ago*
**[22:53] ---**
*When you touched my heart,
convinced by my blurred vision,*
**[23:01] ---**
*that I was wandering*
**[23:05] ---**
*everything started changing*
**[23:09] ---**
*After counting clouds until I grew
bored of it, they drifted far away again*
**[23:16] ---**
*I went after them, and found
my dreams for tomorrow*
**[23:21] ---**
*Assured that it's now or never,
your feelings get through to me*
**[23:27] ---**
*and someday, I'm sure,
I'll offer mine, too*
**[23:33] ---**
*Like the clouds, gently, gently,*
**[23:39] ---**
*moving forever, forever forward*
**[23:47] ---**
"Next episode preview"
**[23:48] ---**
I'm so glad Miss Misaka is feeling better.
**[23:48] ---**
"#17 Study Group"
**[23:50] ---**
Still, I wonder who those cookies were for.
**[23:52] ---**
*EXPOSED*!
**[23:53] ---**
Miss Shirai?
**[23:54] ---**
At the study group, we'll come
out of our shells, *BODY AND SOUL*!
