**[00:27] ---**
What is that boy doing?
**[00:29] ---**
He has a disease
called muscular dystrophy.
**[00:33] ---**
Muscular dys...?
**[00:41] ---**
It's a disease that makes his
muscles grow gradually weaker.
**[00:45] ---**
He was born with this unfair disease.
**[00:50] ---**
As you can see, he is fighting
to overcome the disease.
**[01:08] ---**
However, no matter how hard he tries,
**[01:10] ---**
he cannot recover from his disease.
**[01:13] ---**
With our current medical science,
there isn't any basic treatment.
**[01:17] ---**
His muscles will continue to weaken,
**[01:20] ---**
and in time, he won't
even be able to stand up.
**[01:23] ---**
Then, finally, his breathing
and heart activity will also stop.
**[01:30] ---**
However, that is, as I say, only currently.
**[01:35] ---**
By using your ability, he,
**[01:38] ---**
and other sick people like him,
may be helped by you.
**[01:43] ---**
Would you like to offer your DNA map to us?
**[02:06] ---**
Mm-hmm!
**[02:08] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:21] ---**
A dream...? Why was I dreaming
about something so long ago?
**[02:25] ---**
Oh, right--I went to see
Miss Edasaki yesterday, and...
**[02:54] ---**
*sister's noise, I keep on looking
(sorrow of your heart...)*
**[02:58] ---**
*for where your lost heart is
(I shoot it down...)*
**[03:01] ---**
*Nobody can ruin the feelings
we've built up together*
**[03:11] ---**
*The oft-repeated truth is still distant*
**[03:18] ---**
*while I am unable to sense your pain*
**[03:24] ---**
*If the dreams you
committed to me that day*
**[03:27] ---**
*end up tearing me apart,*
**[03:31] ---**
*don't ever let go of that hope*
**[03:34] ---**
*more precious than anything else*
**[03:39] ---**
*Though once closer to you than anyone else
(sister's noise...)*
**[03:43] ---**
*I cannot hear your voice
(I find it out...)*
**[03:46] ---**
*While the hands of time kept ticking away*
**[03:50] ---**
*I was finally able to find you*
**[03:53] ---**
*sister's noise, so I keep on looking
(sorrow of your heart...)*
**[03:56] ---**
*for where your lost heart is
(I shoot it down...)*
**[03:59] ---**
*I promise to preserve the shared
smiles we both felt*
**[04:05] ---**
*Nobody can ruin them now*
**[04:13] ---**
Ah! Sissy, please wait for me!
**[04:18] ---**
Shut up, you perv!
**[04:20] ---**
I-I just wanted to feel
the warmth of someone else.
**[04:24] ---**
Even so, you can't come
crawling into my bed. Hmph!
**[04:30] ---**
B-Be that as it may, Sissy,
where are you off to today?
**[04:34] ---**
There's a regional field trip
**[04:36] ---**
at the beginning
of September, isn't there?
**[04:38] ---**
Ah, yes.
**[04:40] ---**
I was thinking of getting ready for it
**[04:41] ---**
by getting together the little
sundries I'll need to travel with.
**[04:46] ---**
You are going to go
shopping for more of your
**[04:48] ---**
somewhat childish goods, are you not?
**[04:51] ---**
Even though our tiny
room is already overflowing
**[04:52] ---**
with Made-In-Nowhere fancy
knockoffs of famous characters?
**[04:57] ---**
Did you say something?
**[04:59] ---**
No, nothing.
**[05:00] ---**
So, today, we are having
a shopping date, then?
**[05:03] ---**
Ugh...
**[05:04] ---**
You don't really have to tag along.
**[05:06] ---**
Not at all! Let's see... Is there
anything else that you might need?
**[05:13] ---**
Maybe something to intercept
**[05:16] ---**
intruding gropers sneaking into my bed?
**[05:19] ---**
You are still angry about that, are you?
**[05:21] ---**
Not at all.
**[05:24] ---**
I-I can be of all sorts of help to you.
**[05:28] ---**
Like, say, look!
**[05:30] ---**
If you are on your
way to the shopping mall,
**[05:33] ---**
this way will be much shorter.
**[05:37] ---**
After you, Sissy.
**[05:39] ---**
All right, but if you get me
somewhere out of public view
**[05:41] ---**
and then start clinging on me or anything,
I won't be responsible.
**[05:44] ---**
W-Why, I would not do something like *that*...
**[05:50] ---**
It's so narrow.
**[05:51] ---**
And how do you know
about this back alley, anyway?
**[05:54] ---**
It comes with the job.
**[05:56] ---**
I have maps of the city memorized,
down to the nooks and crannies.
**[06:06] ---**
Excuse me.
**[06:07] ---**
No, go right ahead.
**[06:09] ---**
When the way is this narrow,
this can be a hassle, huh?
**[06:13] ---**
Well, this does not happen very often, so...
**[06:21] ---**
Sorry.
**[06:21] ---**
No, go right ahead.
**[06:23] ---**
Say, is this a major back alley,
or something?
**[06:26] ---**
No, nothing like that.
**[06:29] ---**
This sure is strange, huh?
**[06:40] ---**
Why today, of all days...
**[06:42] ---**
...does this...
**[06:45] ---**
Hey, are you all right?
**[06:51] ---**
Huh? What is it?
**[06:53] ---**
Nothing, something just fell under here...
**[06:57] ---**
An envelope?
**[06:58] ---**
There is no address
or name written on it.
**[07:04] ---**
What's that?
**[07:08] ---**
A Money Card.
**[07:11] ---**
Huh? Miss Shirai, you found one, too?
**[07:14] ---**
Too?
**[07:16] ---**
Over the past few days,
we've been receiving reports
**[07:19] ---**
about found Money Cards
all across School District 7.
**[07:22] ---**
There are now forty-eight incidents...
**[07:24] ---**
Oh, it just went up to fifty-six incidents!
**[07:27] ---**
That many?
**[07:28] ---**
Since there are others,
**[07:29] ---**
which haven't been reported,
it's actually more.
**[07:32] ---**
Could it be some kind of
organized card counterfeiting?
**[07:35] ---**
The thing of it is,
**[07:36] ---**
all of the cards that were
turned into us were genuine.
**[07:40] ---**
Is that right, Miss Konori?
**[07:42] ---**
Yes.
**[07:43] ---**
But why? I have not heard
a single thing about this case.
**[07:49] ---**
While intentionally destroying
or abandoning money is prohibited,
**[07:53] ---**
Money Cards are exempt,
**[07:55] ---**
so there haven't been
any particular notices about it.
**[07:58] ---**
So that is why.
**[08:02] ---**
The amounts on the cards have varied,
**[08:04] ---**
from as little as 1000
yen to well over 50,000 yen.
**[08:09] ---**
Each of them was left in
a place with little human traffic,
**[08:13] ---**
and each one was
inserted into an envelope.
**[08:15] ---**
In other words, someone is
spreading these around on purpose.
**[08:24] ---**
It's awfully involved
for this to just be a prank.
**[08:27] ---**
There were no fingerprints
left on the cards or the envelopes.
**[08:30] ---**
Rumors have just been spreading around,
**[08:34] ---**
and there are more
people prowling the alleyways,
**[08:36] ---**
looking for treasure.
**[08:38] ---**
I see. That's why
there was so much traffic.
**[08:41] ---**
It's not just that.
Some students are stealing cards,
**[08:44] ---**
and others are getting into fights
**[08:46] ---**
for stumbling into Skill Out territory.
**[08:48] ---**
We cannot let this stand, can we?
**[08:51] ---**
Sissy, unfortunately, our date
will have to wait for another time.
**[08:56] ---**
Mm-mm, I can always go by
myself, so don't worry about it.
**[09:01] ---**
Bye!
**[09:04] ---**
That just means that I will be lonely.
**[09:06] ---**
Well, Miss Shirai, please start
looking around this area, okay?
**[09:13] ---**
Now I can take my
time and enjoy a little shopping!
**[09:19] ---**
E-Excuse me!
**[09:21] ---**
Mm-mm, it's okay.
**[09:22] ---**
Aww, it doesn't look
like there are any here.
**[09:26] ---**
Okay.
**[09:27] ---**
Do you think that story
was just a rumor after all?
**[09:30] ---**
But I heard that Rit-*chan
*in Class B found one.
**[09:33] ---**
Huh? Really?
**[09:34] ---**
Rumors, huh? Kuroko
and I aren't very up on those.
**[09:43] ---**
(sniff, sniff) (sniff, sniff)
**[09:46] ---**
(sniff, sniff)
**[09:49] ---**
(sniff, sniff) (sniff, sniff)
**[09:51] ---**
Hmm, maybe there
aren't any more around here.
**[09:55] ---**
Uh, Miss Saten...?
**[09:58] ---**
Ah, Misaka!
**[10:00] ---**
Geez, what was up earlier,
walking off without saying anything?
**[10:04] ---**
Huh? Earlier?
**[10:05] ---**
Oh, don't play dumb.
**[10:07] ---**
Misaka, you were walking in
front of Seventh Mist, weren't you?
**[10:11] ---**
I called out to you,
but you ignored me like crazy.
**[10:14] ---**
I don't think that was me.
**[10:17] ---**
Eh? But I was certain you
were wearing a Tokiwadai uniform.
**[10:22] ---**
I've been with Kuroko and the others.
**[10:25] ---**
Well, maybe it *wasn't* you.
**[10:27] ---**
By the way, Miss Saten,
what were you doing?
**[10:29] ---**
By any chance, were you searching
for those rumored Money Cards?
**[10:33] ---**
You know about that?
**[10:36] ---**
Ta-da!
**[10:37] ---**
A-Amazing.
**[10:39] ---**
I just seem to have a keen
nose for these kinds of rumors, huh?
**[10:44] ---**
(sniff, sniff)
**[10:46] ---**
(sniff, sniff, sniff)
**[10:47] ---**
Y-You don't say.
**[10:49] ---**
(sniff, sniff)
**[10:51] ---**
All right!
**[10:52] ---**
Let's go check over there, next!
**[10:54] ---**
Eh? I-I don't really...
**[10:56] ---**
Just come on, come on!
**[10:58] ---**
Full school curfew is
approaching. All students,
**[11:02] ---**
please return home at once.
Full school curfew is approaching.
**[11:06] ---**
Aww, now it's gone and
become evening time, huh?
**[11:11] ---**
Here. This is your share, Misaka.
**[11:14] ---**
Thanks. No, wait, I can't!
**[11:17] ---**
Those have to be turned over!
**[11:20] ---**
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
I'll contact Uiharu later on.
**[11:25] ---**
Never mind that, Miss Saten...
**[11:27] ---**
Have you heard any rumors
about who was distributing those cards?
**[11:31] ---**
Huh... I haven't heard
very much about that, have I?
**[11:37] ---**
Okay, Misaka! Let's bring
Uiharu along next time, too!
**[11:41] ---**
Yeah, sure.
**[11:42] ---**
Well, see you!
**[11:43] ---**
See you later!
**[11:46] ---**
Ugh, I ended up wasting
the whole day. What am I doing?
**[11:54] ---**
It's true, I tell you!
**[11:57] ---**
I was going into an
alley in Block E to take a leak,
**[12:00] ---**
and I saw a girl placing
this envelope. So I followed her.
**[12:04] ---**
And?
**[12:05] ---**
So she went into a
multi-tenant building in Block C.
**[12:09] ---**
That must be her base!
**[12:10] ---**
Just the one girl?
**[12:12] ---**
She's got others with her, doesn't she?
**[12:13] ---**
I checked it out!
It really is just the one girl!
**[12:17] ---**
Hmph, let's go have a look.
**[12:19] ---**
How did you check it out?
**[12:21] ---**
I staked her out.
**[12:23] ---**
You're so devoted, huh?
**[12:24] ---**
It's been a long time since
I've heard anything this good.
**[12:29] ---**
Yeah, Kuroko? Mm-hmm, listen...
**[12:31] ---**
"#2 Critical"
**[12:32] ---**
I need a little favor.
**[12:38] ---**
Ah, welcome back.
**[12:40] ---**
Did you finish the tabulation?
**[12:42] ---**
Yes.
**[12:43] ---**
Today's total is... seventy-three incidents.
**[12:47] ---**
It's growing more
and more each day, isn't it?
**[12:49] ---**
So, where is Miss Shirai?
**[12:51] ---**
She said something important
came up, and that she had to leave.
**[12:54] ---**
She did?
**[12:56] ---**
Well, I'll be having dinner.
Dinner... Dinner...
**[13:00] ---**
Hello?
**[13:02] ---**
Ah, Miss Saten. Huh?
**[13:05] ---**
Oh, you found a Money Card, too?
**[13:09] ---**
Yes, all right.
Okay, tomorrow, or whenever.
**[13:12] ---**
Oh, but never mind that...
**[13:14] ---**
Mm-hmm... Mm-hmm... All right.
**[13:18] ---**
I just need to stay with
Miss Haru'ue until you get back, then?
**[13:21] ---**
If it's not too much trouble.
**[13:23] ---**
Oh, hold on, Uiharu!
**[13:25] ---**
There's something I wanted to ask you.
**[13:27] ---**
Eh? Miss Misaka?
**[13:30] ---**
Yes, she came here
this afternoon with Miss Shirai,
**[13:33] ---**
to drop off one of the Money Cards.
**[13:35] ---**
She did, huh? Then I guess
I just mistook someone else for her.
**[13:41] ---**
Mm-mm, it's nothing. See you!
**[13:49] ---**
Was I really mistaken about her?
**[13:52] ---**
Huh? A look-alike of Miss Misaka?
**[13:55] ---**
Yes. Miss Saten said she saw one.
**[13:59] ---**
Come to think of it,
there were stories long ago
**[14:02] ---**
about there being Level 5 clones.
**[14:04] ---**
Clones?
**[14:05] ---**
Some research facility
somewhere used cloning technology
**[14:09] ---**
to try mass-producing Level 5's...
**[14:11] ---**
...or so the story goes.
**[14:15] ---**
That does sort of sound like Academy City...
**[14:18] ---**
...and like something Miss Saten
would sink her teeth into, huh?
**[14:21] ---**
That's the truth!
**[14:27] ---**
Yes?
**[14:29] ---**
Good evening, Head Resident.
**[14:31] ---**
Allow me to commend
you on your diligent patrol.
**[14:33] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[14:35] ---**
Hmm?
**[14:36] ---**
Hey, where is Misaka?
**[14:38] ---**
Hey, Kuroko, we're out of shampoo!
**[14:42] ---**
Right! Oh, my poor Sissy.
**[14:45] ---**
I am terribly sorry, Head Resident.
**[14:47] ---**
Just a moment, please!
**[14:51] ---**
Hurry it up, Kuroko!
**[14:53] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[14:58] ---**
Kuroko, my towel is...
**[15:00] ---**
Hey! Why are you coming in--
**[15:03] ---**
Oh, Sissy,
**[15:05] ---**
to think that I would
have to fool the head resident
**[15:07] ---**
because you did not
make it back before curfew...
**[15:09] ---**
Whatever would have
happened if I had not had my little
**[15:13] ---**
"Secret Sissy Voice Collection" here?
**[15:16] ---**
It has been a long
time since this has happened.
**[15:19] ---**
It used to happen quite often.
**[15:24] ---**
Sissy...
**[15:34] ---**
Hi! Forgive the intrusion.
**[15:38] ---**
Just take it nice and easy,
and things won't get violent.
**[15:42] ---**
Do you need something?
**[15:44] ---**
Well, you see,
**[15:45] ---**
you know those cards that
you've been spreading around?
**[15:47] ---**
We were thinking of
getting all of them from you.
**[15:54] ---**
Whoa, there!
**[15:56] ---**
Setting off a security buzzer
would cause us too much trouble,
**[15:59] ---**
so I think we'll have a
look inside there ourselves. Hey!
**[16:02] ---**
You betcha.
**[16:06] ---**
What's this? There're only two of them.
**[16:09] ---**
Huh?
**[16:10] ---**
None over here, either.
**[16:12] ---**
Coming all the way here
for just this is a complete joke.
**[16:15] ---**
Hey...
**[16:16] ---**
...raising my hands
against women is not my style.
**[16:19] ---**
Tell us right now where--
**[16:21] ---**
There aren't any here.
**[16:23] ---**
Equals...
**[16:24] ---**
This is my whole stock.
**[16:26] ---**
There's no way that's true!
**[16:28] ---**
And also, aren't you fairly relaxed,
given your situation? Huh?
**[16:33] ---**
You don't suppose she has an ability!
**[16:42] ---**
Whatever the case, not too many of them
**[16:44] ---**
can do anything against this many of us.
**[16:47] ---**
Right now, let's make a thorough search.
**[16:50] ---**
Hey, you keep your eyes on her.
**[16:52] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[16:53] ---**
What are you so spooked about?
**[16:55] ---**
I-I'm not spooked!
**[16:58] ---**
Hey, just get to it, already.
**[17:03] ---**
Anything over there?
**[17:04] ---**
Nothing. Damn it, where are they?
**[17:07] ---**
Shut up and keep looking.
**[17:07] ---**
Damn, I don't know what,
**[17:10] ---**
but something about her is creepy.
**[17:14] ---**
That school badge--I've seen it somewhere...
**[17:18] ---**
Nagatenjoki Academy?!
**[17:20] ---**
That's the greatest,
most elite school in all of Academy City!
**[17:25] ---**
Which means that, sure enough,
she's a high-level ability user!
**[17:28] ---**
No, hold on, just calm down...
Unlike Tokiwadai,
**[17:32] ---**
they take those who excel
in other fields besides abilities.
**[17:36] ---**
So she may not necessarily
have any abilities...
**[17:41] ---**
W-What?!
**[17:43] ---**
You look a little pale.
Are you sure you're okay?
**[17:48] ---**
L-Leave me alone!
**[17:50] ---**
You're breathing hard, too.
**[17:52] ---**
And that's a nasty cold sweat.
**[17:55] ---**
You seem to be shaking something awful.
**[17:57] ---**
Why, you...!
**[17:58] ---**
It's almost as though...
**[18:01] ---**
H-How did you know that?
**[18:05] ---**
Because...
**[18:08] ---**
Hey, what's wrong?!
**[18:14] ---**
W-What the hell did you do to him?!
**[18:16] ---**
Sh-She's got some ability,
all right, doesn't she?!
**[18:20] ---**
If she did, she'd have attacked
us earlier, and been done with it!
**[18:23] ---**
B-But she isn't packing
something, or anything!
**[18:26] ---**
There's a condition to activate it.
**[18:29] ---**
My ability is called "Critical."
**[18:32] ---**
It only activates against
those I've come into contact with.
**[18:36] ---**
However...
**[18:38] ---**
...once I touch you,
no matter where you run,
**[18:41] ---**
I am able to end your life.
**[18:43] ---**
Hmph, what are you talking about?
**[18:45] ---**
I've never heard of
an ability as weird as that.
**[18:51] ---**
Whether you believe me or not is up to you.
**[18:54] ---**
But the ability to acquire and
tamper with others
**[18:58] ---**
whose AIM diffusion fields
have been traced has many variations.
**[19:03] ---**
Although, to Level 0's such as yourselves,
**[19:05] ---**
it may be a sensation
that doesn't mean much to you.
**[19:08] ---**
This is a load of worthless hot air.
**[19:12] ---**
Huh? What's with you?!
**[19:13] ---**
I-I happened to touch her earlier!
**[19:17] ---**
If what she says is true, then I...
**[19:20] ---**
Don't freak out. I'm telling you,
that's a bunch of hot air.
**[19:24] ---**
Y-Yeah, but...
**[19:25] ---**
Hey, knock off the division
in the ranks, here!
**[19:28] ---**
Yes.
**[19:32] ---**
Fighting among friends is a bad thing.
**[19:37] ---**
Why, you!
**[19:39] ---**
Hey, what am I supposed to do now?!
**[19:41] ---**
Take it easy!
**[19:43] ---**
Shut up. I'll do this.
**[19:49] ---**
Hmm? Huh?
**[19:53] ---**
W-What was that?! Hey, you guys...
**[20:02] ---**
Damn, what the hell is going on?
**[20:16] ---**
You're kidding, right?
**[20:19] ---**
You're the only one left, right?
**[20:24] ---**
What, again?!
**[20:28] ---**
I'll get her!
**[20:31] ---**
I'll get her!
**[20:33] ---**
There you are!
**[20:40] ---**
M-My pipe...
**[20:43] ---**
Where's my iron pipe?!
**[20:48] ---**
Damn!
**[20:50] ---**
What is this?! What is it?!
**[20:54] ---**
What's going on?!
**[21:00] ---**
Now, you are the
subject of my ability, as well.
**[21:04] ---**
It's all right.
**[21:06] ---**
Just like it was with
your friends, it will all be over,
**[21:10] ---**
before you can feel any pain.
**[21:11] ---**
W-Wait a minute! I'm sorry!
I'll get out of here, right now!
**[21:15] ---**
So please...!
**[21:19] ---**
And now...
**[21:20] ---**
...I just have to lower my hand.
**[21:25] ---**
Three...
**[21:27] ---**
two...
**[21:27] ---**
N-No...
**[21:29] ---**
one...
**[21:29] ---**
Don't!!
**[21:36] ---**
Well,
**[21:37] ---**
it was just a paper popper.
**[21:43] ---**
Wow, that was a
pretty good show you put on.
**[21:47] ---**
I was going to step in if it got ugly,
**[21:50] ---**
but imagine, you neutralizing
this many Skill Outs so easily...
**[21:54] ---**
And with just narrative,
showmanship, and...
**[21:57] ---**
...what is that,
anesthesia, or something?
**[22:04] ---**
What?
**[22:09] ---**
You...
**[22:15] ---**
...are the Original, huh?
**[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,*
**[23:02] ---**
*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*
**[23:28] ---**
*and someday, I'm sure,
I'll offer mine, too*
**[23:34] ---**
*Like the clouds, gently, gently,*
**[23:40] ---**
*moving forever, forever forward*
