[00:00] ---
    "September 27th"
[00:01] ---
    Foreseen phenomena
    are basically etched in stone.
[00:04] ---
    Actions that try to change them only
    create a certain degree of divergence;
[00:07] ---
    the main gist of the event
    ultimately turns out as foretold.
[00:11] ---
    Are you saying that there's no escaping fate?
[00:14] ---
    I don't know if anything
    as occult as fate actually exists,
[00:19] ---
    but there may be some kind of
    unknown causative principle at work.
[00:22] ---
    Precognition is still a
    poorly understood field.
[00:26] ---
    However, every future so far
    has proved to be unavoidable...
[00:30] ---
    ...until you upset the one today.
[00:34] ---
    My ability provides an inferred outcome
[00:36] ---
    calculated within a
    three-dimensional framework.
[00:40] ---
    Ordinarily, there is no way
    to divert that track.
[00:44] ---
    But Miss Shirai's Teleporting
    is an 11-dimensional calculation.
[00:48] ---
    Does that mean it interferes with an
    inescapable three-dimensional outcome?
[00:53] ---
    It's all just theoretical.
[00:55] ---
    What is that?
[00:56] ---
    An ordinary penlight. When performing
    second-stage psychic photography,
[01:01] ---
    I use it to make it easier to focus.
[01:05] ---
    A simple oral explanation won't
    demonstrate if it's real or not, right?
[01:09] ---
    So I'm going to foretell something
    that isn't recorded in the app yet.
[01:30] ---
    Go ahead and shoot that photo with the app.
[01:32] ---
    O-Okay.
[01:38] ---
    Here it is. The location is less than
    a kilometer south-southwest of here.
[01:42] ---
    Please allow me to verify this, as well.
[01:44] ---
    The time is 40 minutes from now.
[02:11] ---
    "A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[03:22] ---
    It's too dangerous. We
    should go get a grown-up.
[03:25] ---
    It'll be fine. I'm almost there...
[03:28] ---
    See? I got it--!
[03:31] ---
    Chisa!
[03:38] ---
    Helb!
[03:45] ---
    The location was a river,
[03:47] ---
    so bringing life rings was the right call.
[03:58] ---
    Is that enough to certify my ability?
[04:01] ---
    And I was able to reaffirm that
    my Teleportation is effective
[04:04] ---
    in intervening with your predictions.
[04:06] ---
    Being able to save victims ahead of time
[04:09] ---
    isn't a bad proposition for Judgment, is it?
[04:15] ---
    I suppose not.
[04:20] ---
    M-Maki!
[04:22] ---
    Takkun, you really are cheating on me!
[04:24] ---
    --No, no, no, hold on a second!
    This girl came on to me!
[04:28] ---
    --Huh?!
    --No, no, no, hold on a second!
    This girl came on to me!
[04:31] ---
    Hey!
[04:35] ---
    I know how you must feel,
    but do not do anything hasty.
[04:38] ---
    --You need to hurry and step in,
    or this will end up uglier than predicted.
    --You dirty... rotten...!
[04:47] ---
    The crocodile they were transporting...!
[04:52] ---
    Y-You were the ones who bumped into us.
[04:54] ---
    Huh?! Who do you think
    you're talking back to?!
[04:58] ---
    You know who we are?
[05:00] ---
    You can introduce yourselves
    all you want to Antiskill later.
[05:06] ---
    Nice going.
[05:08] ---
    Your finesse is impressive, all right.
[05:10] ---
    --And now...
    --Thank you.
[05:11] ---
    ...more information on that mass
    unconsciousness outbreak the other day.
[05:14] ---
    "Cause of mass unconsciousness
    outbreak still unknown"
[05:14] ---
    According to a release from Antiskill,
[05:16] ---
    the victims are not showing
    any discernable aftereffects,
[05:19] ---
    but the cause is still unknown.
[05:21] ---
    --It looks like your ability missed that one.
    --Further, they are working
    with a number of research facilities
[05:24] ---
    --It looks like your ability missed that one.
    --and are devoting all their
    energies to determine the cause.
[05:26] ---
    --Maybe it didn't register
    --and are devoting all their
    energies to determine the cause.
[05:27] ---
    since they were only asleep
    and didn't suffer any other harm.
[05:31] ---
    Also, it's easier for me to pick up
    on those that are closer to me.
[05:36] ---
    In that sense, essentially, it may be
    a lot like being able to sense danger.
[05:40] ---
    But, since I can't change the future,
    sensing it doesn't do me any good.
[05:47] ---
    Here.
[05:48] ---
    For your leg.
[05:50] ---
    Oh, I must have scraped it earlier.
[05:53] ---
    If you use some first-aid cream,
    you'll need something to apply it with.
[05:58] ---
    You may seem like a cold fish,
    but you do know how to treat a lady.
[06:03] ---
    Well, I believe it's best to be considerate
    toward women as much as possible.
[06:08] ---
    Even if that's you, Kuroko.
[06:10] ---
    You should have quit
    while you were ahead. Good grief.
[06:14] ---
    Why are you in Judgment?
[06:16] ---
    Huh? Well, I...
[06:19] ---
    I would say that it is to keep
    civic order in Academy City.
[06:24] ---
    You mean the sake of justice?
[06:26] ---
    I suppose. Though there should be
    nothing more to say about it.
[06:32] ---
    I don't have a good grasp of things
    that have no logical reason or method.
[06:49] ---
    I have a new prediction.
[06:51] ---
    You look a little pale.
[06:54] ---
    I'm a little bit anemic.
[06:58] ---
    Is that the park?
[07:00] ---
    The time says tomorrow afternoon.
[07:04] ---
    Miyama, is something the matter?
[07:07] ---
    Look.
[07:09] ---
    Two, in the same park? This is the
    first time we are seeing that come up.
[07:13] ---
    This is a prediction I
    had before meeting you.
[07:16] ---
    The two predictions happen
    at just about the same time.
[07:19] ---
    Could it mean that they are both
    a part of the same accident?
[07:23] ---
    But the two incidents are separated
    by several hundred meters.
[07:27] ---
    The first photo has already been
    visually analyzed by the research lab.
[07:33] ---
    It's blurry, but what looked
    like raging flames was pictured.
[07:37] ---
    Flames?
[07:38] ---
    Is it possible for us to
    see the image analysis?
[07:41] ---
    Sorry, but it's not that easy
    for me to leave with lab materials.
[07:46] ---
    If both predictions are
    tied to the same matter,
[07:49] ---
    it would mean that the flames
    extend to a rather wide area.
[07:52] ---
    So a fire, an explosion, or pyrokinesis.
    That is about all I can think of.
[07:59] ---
    This case stretches over a long distance.
[08:02] ---
    There is a good chance that many people
    will be caught in the middle of it.
[08:06] ---
    In which case, it will be beyond
    what we alone can deal with.
[08:10] ---
    We will ask for assistance while
    leaving you out of it as much as possible.
[08:13] ---
    Do you agree?
[08:15] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[08:17] ---
    Excuse me!
[08:19] ---
    This month is Crime Prevention Month.
[08:22] ---
    Would it be all right if
    we checked your student IDs?
[08:25] ---
    Sure.
[08:26] ---
    Thank you, sir.
[08:29] ---
    He's not in possession of any
    explosives or hazardous materials.
[08:33] ---
    Okay, that checks out.
    Thank you so much for your cooperation.
[08:37] ---
    Checkpoints at every entrance to the park.
[08:39] ---
    Cross-checks with the
    Bank for esper abilities.
[08:42] ---
    Checks for possession of hazardous materials.
[08:44] ---
    A search of the park for hazardous materials.
[08:46] ---
    With the help from other
    Judgment branches, there are 40 of us.
[08:51] ---
    I'm surprised that everyone is so cooperative
[08:53] ---
    after we gave them such a shaky explanation.
[08:56] ---
    Well, to be honest,
[08:58] ---
    we can pretty well guess
    what the bigger picture is.
[09:01] ---
    Those girls have been on
    the scene of every incident lately,
[09:04] ---
    and minimizing any damage done.
[09:07] ---
    There are some in Judgment asking
    why we don't just shut down the park,
[09:12] ---
    but there must be some reason why we can't.
[09:16] ---
    Honestly, we don't know at what stage
    your ability begins disrupting things.
[09:22] ---
    If, by closing the park,
[09:24] ---
    fires break out in lots of different areas,
    it will be much harder to handle them.
[09:29] ---
    Two more hours.
[09:30] ---
    There.
[09:31] ---
    Miss Shirai, please put this on.
[09:38] ---
    What is this?
[09:39] ---
    Satellite imagery.
    It can provide you with the locations
[09:43] ---
    of every person in the park in real time.
[09:45] ---
    Wow, you got permission to--
[09:48] ---
    --Wait, did you hack into it?
    --Lives come first!
[09:52] ---
    Also, according to what I've heard around,
[09:54] ---
    there have been more stray dogs
    and cats around waste disposal sites...
[09:58] ---
    Miss Shirai?
[10:00] ---
    Oh, those cherry blossoms.
    This is October. Does that ever happen?
[10:07] ---
    After the temperature drops considerably
    and then gets warm again,
[10:11] ---
    cherry blossoms sometimes get tricked
    into thinking spring has come.
[10:15] ---
    Have we had that kind of weather, though?
[10:17] ---
    No, we haven't...
[10:26] ---
    Is something the matter?
[10:28] ---
    I've produced two more predictions.
[10:31] ---
    Both of them take place inside the park.
[10:34] ---
    These are not in a line
    between the previous two,
[10:36] ---
    but spread throughout the park.
[10:38] ---
    Thank you. This is helpful.
[10:40] ---
    If we refocus our search
    based on this layout...
[10:46] ---
    "#17 Precognition"
[10:46] ---
    Miyama!
[10:51] ---
    His red blood cells are damaged?
[10:54] ---
    Mm-hmm, and as a result, their capacity
    to carry oxygen is greatly diminished.
[10:59] ---
    It's a phenomenon occasionally seen
    when espers overexert their abilities.
[11:04] ---
    He'll have to refrain from
    using his ability for the time being.
[11:09] ---
    Any more than this, and he could
    be putting his life in danger.
[11:14] ---
    Why would you do something so reckless?
[11:20] ---
    Hey...
[11:22] ---
    Hey!
[11:25] ---
    Okawachi?
[11:26] ---
    Your ability lets you see when
    bad things happen to people, right?
[11:30] ---
    That's so morbid!
[11:31] ---
    Pretty nasty.
[11:37] ---
    Perro!
[11:40] ---
    Oh, there you are.
[11:42] ---
    My ability takes pictures
    of people's suffering.
[11:45] ---
    But someday, maybe my power
    can be used to help people out.
[11:51] ---
    As the power to protect them.
[11:54] ---
    Yeah, right.
[11:57] ---
    Here is the analysis of the
    psychic photo from the other day.
[12:00] ---
    Is that...!
[12:01] ---
    It couldn't be! Okawachi?
[12:05] ---
    Whoa, is this me in the photo?!
[12:08] ---
    Probably.
[12:09] ---
    L-Look, I'm sorry for everything
    I said before. Do something!
[12:14] ---
    Mm-hmm, that's why I made a
    copy for you without permission.
[12:18] ---
    We need to come up
    with a plan to change the future.
[12:23] ---
    Get out!
[12:25] ---
    Okawachi...
[12:26] ---
    I'm sorry. We ended up not
    being able to change the future.
[12:31] ---
    Ha, change it?
[12:33] ---
    Are you sure this didn't happen
    because you foresaw it?!
[12:36] ---
    Are you sure you don't bring
    about tragedy for others?!
[12:38] ---
    No--
[12:39] ---
    It's your fault that this
    happened to me, you know!
[12:43] ---
    I don't ever want to see
    your face again, you big jinx!
[12:47] ---
    It didn't help, Perro.
[12:50] ---
    I tried as hard as I know how to do, but...
[12:55] ---
    It doesn't look like I'm going
    to be able to help keep others safe.
[13:02] ---
    It can't be...
[13:04] ---
    Perro?
[13:06] ---
    No! How is this happening again?
[13:10] ---
    Is it really because of my ability?
[13:18] ---
    Hmm? Do you have a headache?
[13:21] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[13:30] ---
    If I recall that sensation I had before...
[13:40] ---
    Tamper with the future?
[13:42] ---
    Hmm, depending on the ability,
[13:44] ---
    there is a possibility it could happen.
[13:48] ---
    Found them.
[13:50] ---
    Judgment--those who
    voluntarily help other people.
[13:54] ---
    Still,
[13:56] ---
    stray dogs aren't subjects for rescue.
    If only somehow...
[14:01] ---
    Where am I?
[14:03] ---
    Oh, no!
[14:10] ---
    It's just about time.
[14:12] ---
    Yes.
[14:15] ---
    No explosives...
[14:16] ---
    ...or suspicious individuals have been found.
[14:21] ---
    Nor are there any gas lines
    or shopping areas underneath here.
[14:24] ---
    It is hard to imagine that these
    incidents are not actually in the park.
[14:29] ---
    So what exactly--
[14:32] ---
    It is starting!
[14:35] ---
    Miss Konori!
[14:36] ---
    Yes. Just like we discussed,
[14:39] ---
    we need to start guarding
    the people who get Teleported.
[14:47] ---
    Remain calm. I will Teleport
    you away from here.
[14:51] ---
    Please follow the nearby
    Judgment officers and evacuate.
[15:01] ---
    Next up...
[15:03] ---
    Wha--? It is already this widespread?!
[15:06] ---
    A fire broke out far away from me,
    and as I was shooting video,
[15:09] ---
    the flames had gotten
    really close, just like that!
[15:11] ---
    The flames are spreading too quickly.
    If this were an ordinary fire...
[15:16] ---
    The only things burning intensely
    are the cherry trees?
[15:20] ---
    Cherry blossoms... They do seem
    out of place, blooming out of season...
[15:26] ---
    What is causing it?
[15:30] ---
    Did you say the plant ampules?
[15:32] ---
    Yes. Whatever has been
    injected into the base of the trees
[15:35] ---
    could be a highly flammable substance.
[15:38] ---
    If that's the case, then after it
    has passed into the soil and trees,
[15:41] ---
    all these rows of cherry trees
    will have become long, giant fuses.
[15:46] ---
    All right. Predicting the spread
    of the fire based on that hypothesis.
[15:50] ---
    Miss Shirai, please patrol
    around the park with that in mind.
[15:57] ---
    Perro...
[15:59] ---
    Miss Shirai!
[16:00] ---
    This girl is the last one.
[16:03] ---
    As for those ampules,
[16:04] ---
    I collected a number of
    them that were nearby.
[16:07] ---
    Sure enough, they don't appear
    to be commercially made.
[16:16] ---
    It looks as though your guess is correct.
[16:19] ---
    But who on earth would
    do something like this?
[16:22] ---
    Kuroko!
[16:24] ---
    --Miyama?!
    --You there! You can't come in here!
[16:29] ---
    Could you...
[16:30] ---
    Teleport me into the middle of the park?
[16:33] ---
    That may be enough to disrupt it.
[16:38] ---
    Slow down, and please
    tell me what is going on, okay?
[16:47] ---
    A stray dog?
[16:49] ---
    That was your first prediction, right?
[16:52] ---
    But he's my friend. So...
[16:55] ---
    What does this dog look like?
[16:57] ---
    Huh?
[16:58] ---
    Uiharu, check the satellite imagery.
[17:01] ---
    The smoke is too thick. But
    if I filter out the unoccupied areas,
[17:04] ---
    it's possible to narrow things down.
[17:06] ---
    Miss Konori!
[17:07] ---
    Okay.
[17:08] ---
    Here we go.
[17:13] ---
    Honestly!
[17:14] ---
    I thought he might be
    hiding something from us...
[17:17] ---
    ...but he figured we
    wouldn't rescue a stray dog.
[17:21] ---
    For someone who acts as grown up as he does,
[17:23] ---
    he sure is childish in some strange ways.
[17:29] ---
    Miss Shirai, I've narrowed the area down!
[17:34] ---
    Next!
[17:36] ---
    Next! Next!
[17:48] ---
    Kuroko!
[17:49] ---
    Come back here and take me with you!
[17:52] ---
    I've been too focused on
    myself from the start!
[17:54] ---
    Teleporting can interfere
    with my predictions,
[17:57] ---
    but that doesn't always mean
    it changes the future for the better!
[18:00] ---
    I shouldn't have gotten
    you involved in this mess.
[18:02] ---
    You're liable to fall victim to it, too!
[18:04] ---
    This is on a much larger scale
    than anything else up to now.
[18:07] ---
    --You don't have to be so--
    --Miyama...
[18:10] ---
    If sticking your neck out to rescue
    a stray dog is self-centered,
[18:15] ---
    then my not backing out
    right now is also self-centered.
[18:25] ---
    Found him! He's limping away from the fire!
[18:29] ---
    And I am sure...
[18:33] ---
    ...that for us, what some call
    self-centeredness is the right thing to do!
[18:44] ---
    Kuroko...
[18:48] ---
    Perro...
[18:50] ---
    Oh, no...
[18:53] ---
    Welcome back.
[18:56] ---
    That was quite a close call.
[18:58] ---
    By Teleporting some ampules in the opposite
    direction the fire was surging,
[19:04] ---
    I was able to change the course of the fire.
[19:07] ---
    This is your dog, right?
[19:10] ---
    Other than his left paw,
    I do not see any obvious injuries,
[19:13] ---
    though he may have inhaled some smoke.
[19:15] ---
    We can take him to the hospital together.
[19:24] ---
    Boys should not be so
    quick to show their tears.
[19:28] ---
    B-Be quiet. Don't look at me.
[19:33] ---
    "October 5th"
[19:35] ---
    Sure enough, they say that those
    ampules were the cause of the fire.
[19:40] ---
    --The people who used them said that
    they thought they had invented a drug
    --I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[19:44] ---
    --that would allow the cherry
    blossoms to bloom all year round.
    --I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[19:47] ---
    But at the same time, it
    is a hazardous material
[19:49] ---
    that turns cherry trees into
    powder kegs of nitrogenous compounds.
[19:52] ---
    Did these people specialize
    in fertilizer chemistry?
[19:56] ---
    No. According to the statement,
    they learned it via Indian Poker.
[20:07] ---
    "If you ever want to see me, come by anytime.
    When you do, I'll take the opportunity
    to apologize. --Okawachi Megumi"
[20:14] ---
    I heard you found someone to take Perro in.
[20:17] ---
    Mm-hmm. One of my school classmates
    said she would keep him at her home.
[20:23] ---
    Will you miss him?
[20:25] ---
    Mm-hmm. But then, even if I can't
    see him as regularly as I have before,
[20:30] ---
    as long as he's alive, I can still see him.
[20:32] ---
    His is a life that you saved, after all.
[20:36] ---
    You're the one who saved him.
[20:38] ---
    Oh, no. Without your ability,
    I could not have saved Perro
[20:41] ---
    or any of those other people.
[20:45] ---
    Is that true, though?
[20:48] ---
    Yes, it is.
[20:50] ---
    But using my ability is now...
[20:53] ---
    Yes. You must not exceed your limit.
[20:57] ---
    However...
[21:00] ---
    ...abilities are things that can grow.
[21:03] ---
    Stick close to your curriculum,
[21:04] ---
    and when the day comes when
    you can use it without taxing your body...
[21:08] ---
    ...then come and call on me again.
[21:15] ---
    Even if my ability does improve,
    I may not try to use it to help anyone
[21:20] ---
    except those who are close to me, like Perro.
[21:24] ---
    Oh, no, I do not think that will happen.
    You are too much like me.
[21:29] ---
    Like you?
[21:31] ---
    Yes. I mean...
[21:35] ---
    I looked up to someone, as well.
    Someone who is a champion of justice.
[21:42] ---
    Is that right?
[21:44] ---
    I-I was a child at the time!
[21:48] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[21:51] ---
    I'll think about it.
