[00:03] ---
Honestly,
[00:05] ---
that's quite the favor you're asking.
[00:07] ---
I am terribly sorry, Miss Konori.
[00:10] ---
Using only what is here in the hospital
[00:12] ---
is a little inadequate
to perform my Judgment duties.
[00:16] ---
Sheesh, your wounds aren't
even completely healed yet.
[00:20] ---
Wow, those look painful.
[00:21] ---
C-Could you please not use
your clairvoyance ability in here?!
[00:29] ---
Still, I'm serious.
[00:31] ---
Don't push yourself too hard.
Miss Uiharu is worried about you.
[00:36] ---
Uiharu...
[00:38] ---
...must feel somewhat
responsible for me getting hurt.
[00:42] ---
She was the one who helped
steer me into this situation.
[00:46] ---
That's true.
[00:48] ---
Which is exactly why I must
get better as soon as possible.
[00:53] ---
To keep her from taking more
upon herself than is necessary.
[00:59] ---
It turns out you two are cut
from the same cloth, huh?
[01:02] ---
Huh?
[01:03] ---
Mm-mm, nothing.
[01:08] ---
We did it!
[01:09] ---
Yeah!
[01:10] ---
We made it.
[01:12] ---
You've done well, everyone.
[01:15] ---
Still,
[01:17] ---
why do I have an awfully bad feeling about this?
[01:24] ---
The Daihasei Festival is about to begin!
[01:27] ---
"Daihasei Festival"
[01:28] ---
Here in the main stadium,
during one of the few times
[01:30] ---
that Academy City opens
its doors to the outside world,
[01:34] ---
the parents of the students,
as well as many others, have come to visit.
[01:38] ---
Ms. Watanabe!
[01:41] ---
Long time no see!
Another year's festival is starting.
[01:47] ---
Ms. Tsukuyomi,
[01:49] ---
why are you dressed like that?
[01:52] ---
I have cheerleading to do.
[01:55] ---
I understand that you're all worked up, but...
[01:59] ---
Ah, that's right, Shokuho is taking
the athlete's pledge this year.
[02:05] ---
Yes. The plan was to have Level 5s
carry out demonstrations this year.
[02:12] ---
However...
[02:15] ---
--The athlete's pledge!
--The athlete's pledge!
[02:17] ---
We will...
[02:18] ---
We will...
[02:20] ---
...adhere to the ideals of sportsmanship
[02:22] ---
as we undertake this year's Daihasei Festival...
[02:24] ---
...use our youthful dreams
and fervent wills as our strength...
[02:28] ---
...and forge undying bonds with... bonds with...
[02:32] ---
Aw, what was it again?
[02:35] ---
Whatever! Do something or other
with undying bonds and overflowing guts...
[02:41] ---
--demonstrating what we learn daily,
--showing off our daily training and guts,
[02:44] ---
--showing our gratitude to our families...
--displaying our bravery and guts
[02:47] ---
--by showing the growth we've made...
--to those who are rotten to the core,
[02:49] ---
and ensuring that this event
creates fantastic gutsy memories,
[02:53] ---
we pledge to overcome
all obstacles and hardships,
[02:56] ---
getting back on our feet every time we stumble,
[02:59] ---
and surmounting everything we must with guts!
[03:04] ---
What was that?
[03:06] ---
Looks like that got botched, huh?
[03:08] ---
Yes...
[03:10] ---
Um, this concludes our opening ceremonies.
[03:15] ---
He upstaged me.
[03:33] ---
"A Certain Magical Railgun T"
[04:50] ---
The Daihasei Festival.
An event that spans seven days,
[04:53] ---
that gets held in Academy City every year--
[04:56] ---
kind of like a large-scale field day!
[04:59] ---
Unlike conventional athletic festivals,
[05:01] ---
the Daihasei Festival has all
of Academy City's students
[05:04] ---
compete with their schools.
[05:06] ---
The TV stations broadcast what's
happening to the whole world!
[05:11] ---
And the biggest difference
[05:13] ---
is that all of the events
have espers competing in them!
[05:18] ---
And you know what?
[05:19] ---
The result of all those
espers' fierce competition
[05:21] ---
is said to create a phenomenon
that can't be seen anywhere else!
[05:26] ---
You bean dat urban wegend aboud
dat whadeber-ids-cawwed metal?
[05:30] ---
Non, non! Shadow metal! Shadow metal!
[05:34] ---
When dozens, even hundreds
of esper abilities clash together,
[05:37] ---
they say a new metal,
one not found in nature, is created!
[05:42] ---
The only chance of that happening
is during the Daihasei Festival!
[05:46] ---
What's more, it's so rare that it
fetches an incredibly high price.
[05:51] ---
--There's no choice but to look for it--
--Saten!!
[05:57] ---
Are you taking those rumors seriously again?!
[06:02] ---
O-Oh, no. I was just kidding.
Rumors are rumors. Even I know that.
[06:09] ---
--One strawberry yakisoba, please.
--Oh, no! You always say that,
then get yourself into trouble!
[06:11] ---
--Coming up.
--Oh, no! You always say that,
then get yourself into trouble!
[06:12] ---
Being curious is fine, but please take
a moment to consider the consequences!
[06:16] ---
Ah!
[06:18] ---
Misaka in her gym uniform, up on the monitor!
[06:20] ---
Sissy?!
[06:23] ---
In Lane 4 is this pair,
[06:25] ---
from Tokiwadai Middle School,
Misaka Mikoto and Kongo Mitsuko!
[06:30] ---
"Block 7, Event 3"
"Three-legged Race"
[06:30] ---
And that is the lineup for the third
event of Block 7, the three-legged race!
[06:35] ---
Now to explain the rules.
[06:37] ---
If the band around their ankles
comes off, they are disqualified.
[06:40] ---
Use of their abilities to directly
harm other competitors is prohibited.
[06:44] ---
Further, as a restriction
on higher-level espers,
[06:47] ---
Misaka is not permitted
to use her electric shock ability.
[06:50] ---
In other words, any non-electrical
abilities are still okay, right?
[06:54] ---
On your marks!
[06:57] ---
So, is it fair to say that
Tokiwadai is the favorite for this race?
[07:02] ---
If they were simply
throwing their abilities around
[07:03] ---
until the others are knocked out, maybe,
[07:05] ---
but within the framework of winning a race,
[07:08] ---
depending on the tactics used,
this could be quite eventful.
[07:11] ---
Ha-ha-ha, thinking the others
can do anything with their tricks?
[07:15] ---
You do realize that we are Tokiwadai's
Gods of Thunder when you say that, yes?
[07:21] ---
We practiced a whole lot, too.
[07:23] ---
And we fell down just as much.
By the way, what's with that nickname?
[07:30] ---
Incidentally, providing your play-by-play
will be your usual pirate radio DJ, and...
[07:33] ---
...your belly-button-baring Katyusha.
[07:36] ---
And here comes the starting gun!
[07:38] ---
Get set!
[07:47] ---
Wh-What is this?!
[07:50] ---
See you later!
[07:51] ---
Ah! Right from the start,
[07:53] ---
the wrappings from the
Airin Girls' High School contestants
[07:56] ---
are clinging to the other like snakes!
[07:57] ---
And now they are dashing off!
What is happening?
[08:00] ---
According to my data, she is a telekinesist.
[08:04] ---
She can control anything she is in contact with.
[08:06] ---
Her partner is an esper who can reduce
anything she touches into raw materials.
[08:10] ---
It appears that she broke
down the track's pavement.
[08:13] ---
That explains it. So the black
on the wrappings is asphalt.
[08:16] ---
It's sticky and starting to harden.
[08:19] ---
It's not a bad move
using it right out of the gate.
[08:22] ---
How do you mean?
[08:23] ---
With a few exceptions,
most abilities have a limited range.
[08:27] ---
Once they leave that range
after first slowing the others down,
[08:30] ---
they can leave the competition in the dust.
[08:32] ---
That follows. Now,
[08:34] ---
the other teams are starting
to break their bonds.
[08:37] ---
Damn it, my clothes are sticky and heavy now.
[08:39] ---
It's a straight shot to
the finish line for us now!
[08:47] ---
Oh, there's been a development!
[08:50] ---
What's this now?
[08:51] ---
A-A hamster! But why?
[08:55] ---
It's likely that Ninoude
Affiliated Middle School
[08:57] ---
set this up before the race.
[08:59] ---
Those two are both rodent-specific telepaths.
[09:03] ---
But won't it take more
than that to slow them down?
[09:05] ---
You sneaky little...!
[09:07] ---
I believe the target is
the band around their ankles.
[09:10] ---
So that's it! The goal is to have
the hamsters cut that, and disqualify them!
[09:15] ---
Oh no you don't--
[09:17] ---
Huh?!
[09:18] ---
H-Hey, where are you--?
[09:23] ---
Hmm, they chewed through
their underwear straps by mistake.
[09:26] ---
Hold it!
[09:27] ---
They've slumped down unable to move!
Good job, hamsters!
[09:31] ---
Now, coming up from behind
are Habatobi High and Tokiwadai.
[09:35] ---
And here come the tiny assassins!
[09:38] ---
Well, that seems about right.
[09:39] ---
Hey! What are you doing
to my cute little Kotaro?!
[09:43] ---
Cram it! You don't like it,
don't send them after us!
[09:47] ---
What's this? Contestant Misaka is on her knees.
[09:50] ---
Her EM field must be
keeping the assassins at bay,
[09:54] ---
and she appears to be in shock because of it.
[09:56] ---
"100m dash contestant rendezvous point"
[09:58] ---
Oh, my, the strength of
everyone's youth is on display,
[10:02] ---
and things are a confused mess.
[10:04] ---
Well, if it were me, I would control the
contestants and judges with Mental Out,
[10:10] ---
and walk away as the winner
without breaking a sweat.
[10:13] ---
Oh, using it on those not
in the race is against the rules.
[10:18] ---
I'll take this.
[10:23] ---
"#2 The Daihasei Festival"
[10:23] ---
Huh?
[10:27] ---
Okay, the third event of Block 7,
[10:29] ---
the three-legged race,
is entering the home stretch!
[10:31] ---
Once they round this last corner,
it's a straight shot to the finish line!
[10:36] ---
The Habatobi High team,
which has been pouring it on thus far,
[10:39] ---
is now in the lead as they turn the last corner!
[10:45] ---
Tokiwadai and Ninoude are close behind!
[10:48] ---
This isn't over yet!
I'm sure we can overtake them!
[10:52] ---
S-Suits us just fine--
[10:54] ---
Ah, what just happened?!
Both teams have inexplicably slipped!
[10:58] ---
Tokiwadai has stayed upright, thanks
to Contestant Misaka's magnetism!
[11:02] ---
Contestant Amime from Habatobi High's ability
[11:05] ---
allows him to control the frictional
coefficient of anything he touches.
[11:09] ---
As we were rounding the corner,
I touched the inside track!
[11:13] ---
It only lasts a short time though,
which can sometimes be a drag.
[11:15] ---
Tokiwadai uses the
centrifugal force to close the gap!
[11:19] ---
Sure enough, it wasn't that easy.
[11:22] ---
But still...!
[11:24] ---
Oh! Contestant Amime has used his ability
[11:27] ---
allowing them to speed up by skating!
[11:29] ---
I can collect the moisture form the air,
break it down, and ignite it!
[11:34] ---
Harnessing the blast creates a rocket boost!
[11:36] ---
We just have to make a break
for the finish line! This is in the bag!
[11:42] ---
Ow, that's hot!
[11:45] ---
Uh-oh! Habatobi High has
gone off course and out of bounds!
[11:52] ---
Oh, no!
[11:56] ---
What's this?! A gym mat has flown
through the air, catching the pair!
[12:03] ---
This dramatic rescue was
of course performed by this team!
[12:07] ---
Contestant Misaka pulled up
the gym mat with her magnetism,
[12:10] ---
and Contestant Kongo launched it
toward them with her Aero Hand!
[12:14] ---
One false step would have spelled a disaster,
[12:17] ---
but that was an outstanding combination!
[12:21] ---
Damn. If we hadn't screwed
that up, we would have won.
[12:26] ---
What is this?
[12:27] ---
Huh?
[12:29] ---
Iron filings?
[12:30] ---
Back from when we were
wrapped up in those bandages.
[12:33] ---
I mixed iron into the
asphalt before it hardened.
[12:37] ---
I was planning to stop you
[12:39] ---
if it looked like you were
crossing the finish line first.
[12:41] ---
But you saved me the trouble.
[12:43] ---
Forgive me.
[12:46] ---
She doesn't miss a trick.
[12:48] ---
Is that something someone from
such a prestigious school would do?
[12:50] ---
Turns out we wouldn't
have won no matter what we did.
[12:54] ---
And now...
[12:56] ---
The Tokiwadai team crosses the finish line!
[13:00] ---
Such is the way things ended up,
[13:03] ---
but if all the other schools
had teamed up against Tokiwadai...
[13:07] ---
Oh, amazing!
[13:09] ---
Leabe id do dose dwo.
[13:11] ---
If it were not for my injuries,
I would be the one standing next to her!
[13:16] ---
Ah! Kongo Mitsuko!
I cannot see Sissy if you stand there!
[13:21] ---
Damn it, how do I talk on this?
[13:24] ---
Must be the latest model. I wish
they hadn't given me this crazy phone.
[13:28] ---
I can use a regular cell phone...
[13:32] ---
If you pull that out on the side,
the screen appears,
[13:36] ---
and you can call them back
from your call history.
[13:39] ---
Oh, you're right. That was extremely helpful...
[13:44] ---
Is something the matter?
[13:46] ---
Oh, er, no...
[13:49] ---
Mish Shaden, we're weabing!
[13:52] ---
Oh, mm-hmm, okay!
[14:00] ---
I-Is something wrong?
[14:02] ---
Have we met somewhere before?
[14:06] ---
No...
[14:07] ---
...you must be imagining it.
[14:11] ---
Ha-ha-ha, I guess so!
[14:13] ---
Mish Shaden!
[14:15] ---
Mm-hmm, coming!
[14:26] ---
Is something the matter?
Have you run into any trouble?
[14:29] ---
No, I was just unreachable for a bit.
[14:32] ---
You've safely managed
to get into Academy City, then?
[14:35] ---
Yeah.
[14:36] ---
This is your first mission for MEMBER.
[14:40] ---
You need to fulfill your duty,
my Aztecan young lady.
[14:44] ---
I know.
[14:45] ---
Oh! Nagatenjouki Academy
breaks ahead of the pack
[14:50] ---
and is first across the finish line!
[14:52] ---
They have not lost an event yet!
[14:53] ---
The Daihasei Festival...
[14:55] ---
Misaka does not go to any school
and is not allowed to participate.
[15:02] ---
Time to go back to the hospital.
[15:05] ---
Misaka!
[15:08] ---
We saw you in the three-legged race!
[15:10] ---
As impressive as always.
[15:13] ---
I'm glad we won, but we got awfully dirty, too.
[15:16] ---
We saw before that, too.
Misaka, you're pretty fast, huh?
[15:20] ---
It was so cool how you passed
those boys in the same year at school.
[15:24] ---
Oh, you really think so?
Ever since I was little, I've been pretty--
[15:27] ---
Mikoto has been fast ever
since she was in kindergarten.
[15:32] ---
Oh, Mama!
[15:33] ---
Yoo-hoo!
[15:34] ---
What's up? I thought we were meeting up later--
[15:36] ---
--Mama?!
--Mama?!
[15:38] ---
Ah... "Mama" is what I used to call
her as a child, and it just slipped out.
[15:43] ---
It's not like I'm not independent of her--
[15:44] ---
"Mama," as in her mother?!
Not her older sister, but her mother?!
[15:49] ---
You like you're only around 20!
[15:51] ---
Oh, that's what you meant.
[15:52] ---
Ah, are you two Mikoto's friends?
What a kind thing for you to say.
[15:57] ---
Ah, but no w that I'm looking,
I can see parts of Misaka here and there.
[16:03] ---
Bustline excepted.
[16:04] ---
Okay, Miss Saten,
let's have a nice long chat later.
[16:08] ---
Just the two of us.
[16:09] ---
Ah-ha-ha, I'm kidding! I'm kidding, okay?
[16:13] ---
Sheesh.
[16:14] ---
Oh, come to think of it, where's Kuroko?
[16:16] ---
Miss Shirai went out on Judgment patrol.
[16:19] ---
If you need her for something, I can call her.
[16:22] ---
Oh, no, that's okay. I was just
thinking that if I asked Kuroko,
[16:25] ---
she could teleport me back to Tokiwadai
and I could change out of this.
[16:30] ---
Yes, I can see why you would want to change.
[16:34] ---
But as late as it is...
[16:36] ---
I don't think I can make it
back in time for the next race.
[16:40] ---
What if you asked someone
to fill in for you in the meantime?
[16:44] ---
Yeah, maybe.
[16:45] ---
I do have my showdown
with that idiot coming up, though.
[16:48] ---
I don't know if letting someone else--
[16:49] ---
Which "that idiot" is that? Mama is curious!
[16:52] ---
--Huh? D-D-Don't make too much of it. H-H-He...
[16:56] ---
--Oh, you mean that guy?
--Huh? D-D-Don't make too much of it. H-H-He...
[16:58] ---
Huh? What's this, now?
[17:00] ---
Oh, he's someone who
Misaka apparently owes a lot to.
[17:04] ---
Ho-ho, tell me more, tell me more.
[17:06] ---
Ah, I was watching the
scavenger hunt coverage earlier,
[17:10] ---
and Miss Misaka was with a spiky-haired boy.
[17:12] ---
Spiky-haired? Ah, that boy!
[17:15] ---
You know who he is?
[17:16] ---
I happened to see them this morning.
[17:19] ---
She was talking to a high-school-aged boy,
[17:21] ---
and said that if he beat her, she
would do anything he said, or something.
[17:24] ---
--Th-There are three of them against me now...?
--Oh? You don't say!
[17:26] ---
--Th-There are three of them against me now...?
--Anything he says?!
[17:34] ---
My...
[17:36] ---
You might say this is gruesome.
What incredible force!
[17:47] ---
Miss Awatsuki...
[17:48] ---
Yes?
[17:49] ---
Have you ever been in a fight before?
[17:51] ---
Huh?!
[17:54] ---
We've been taught all this time
that the enemy is within us,
[17:59] ---
and that we are not training ourselves
[18:02] ---
to prove that we are better than others.
[18:05] ---
But looking at the other schools' students,
[18:07] ---
I wonder if our competitive psyches
are not somewhat lacking.
[18:12] ---
It's true, we may not be able
to duplicate that kind of
[18:17] ---
force and power in the pursuit of victory.
[18:19] ---
I know that it isn't right to
hurt others or look down on them.
[18:25] ---
However, I do wonder if we
shouldn't learn the skills we need
[18:29] ---
in order to fight competitively.
[18:31] ---
I've never even gotten angry,
let alone gotten into a fight.
[18:35] ---
So that's why you asked me about that earlier.
[18:38] ---
In that case, I was thinking the same--
[18:39] ---
I have it!
[18:40] ---
Miss Awatsuki, would you
mind trying to get angry with me?
[18:44] ---
Huh?!
[18:47] ---
U-Um...
[18:49] ---
H-H--
[18:52] ---
Hey, you!
[18:55] ---
--Down with Tokiwadai Middle School!
--Down with Tokiwadai Middle School!
[18:57] ---
Elite school my eye! They're all girls,
and middle-schoolers, at that!
[19:01] ---
We can't let ourselves be outdone by them!
[19:03] ---
--Yeah!
--Yeah!
[19:05] ---
Oh, goodness.
[19:07] ---
It is nice that you have so much spirit.
[19:10] ---
However, we are one
of the five fingers competing
[19:14] ---
for Daihasei supremacy.
[19:16] ---
We are not going to roll over
and be beaten that easily.
[19:19] ---
You'll be telling your grandchildren how
fearsome Tokiwadai Middle School is.
[19:25] ---
Oh, wow, Miss Kongo!
[19:27] ---
Such grand poise in the face of
those gentlemen! How impressive!
[19:31] ---
Time for us to cheer, as well! Tokiwadai, yeah!
[19:36] ---
--Y-Yeah...
--Y-Yeah...
[19:37] ---
I cannot hear you! One more time!
[19:40] ---
--Yeah!
--Yeah!
[19:41] ---
One more!
[19:42] ---
--Yeah!
--Yeah!
[19:43] ---
Oh dear, what are we going to do?
[19:46] ---
Is something the matter?
[19:49] ---
Well, the contest is about to start,
but I don't see Miss Misaka anywhere.
[19:54] ---
Oh...
[19:57] ---
"Once again, Misaka is
here to watch the games.
[20:01] ---
N-Not that she is depressed about
being unable to compete, you understand,"
[20:05] ---
says Misaka, offering a tsundere rationale.
[20:10] ---
Well, she cannot deny that there
is some feeling of alienation.
[20:15] ---
Ah, Miss Misaka!
[20:17] ---
Huh?
[20:18] ---
Oh? Why aren't you wearing your gym uniform?
[20:23] ---
Now that you mention it,
[20:24] ---
your gym uniform got pretty dirty
in that three-legged race earlier.
[20:30] ---
Oh, and you have nothing else
to change into, right?
[20:32] ---
In that case, you may borrow mine.
[20:38] ---
Oh, man!
[20:39] ---
I thought that if I used my ability,
I could dash there and back in time,
[20:42] ---
but this is pushing it!
[20:46] ---
Sorry I'm late--
[20:49] ---
It's not too small, is it?
[20:51] ---
Nothing that will obstruct any movement.
[20:53] ---
In fact, it is extra roomy across the chest.
[20:56] ---
I will hold on to your cat for you.
[20:59] ---
Huh?
[21:00] ---
Is something the matter?
[21:02] ---
No, I just thought I saw someone over there...
[21:04] ---
Wh-What is she doing?!
[21:08] ---
How is the matter coming along?
[21:11] ---
Everything is in place.
There will be no problem at all.
[21:14] ---
We will render her powerless,
just like you want.
[21:18] ---
Baba, we're getting started.
[21:20] ---
Yeah, sorry. I'm on my way.
[21:22] ---
Well, well, he sure sounds sure of things.
[21:26] ---
I guess I should expect as much
from someone from MEMBER,
[21:28] ---
the dark side outfit under the
direct thumb of the governing board.
[21:32] ---
Let's see what he's actually capable of.

"Oh dear. Misaka has
been mistaken for Big Sister,
[23:26] ---
"Next episode preview"
"#3 Balloon Hunter"
[23:28] ---
and ends up having to compete in the games,
[23:30] ---
but she must do her best for the others,"
[23:32] ---
enthuses Misaka, in the style
of a morning anime show preview.
[23:36] ---
Mm-hmm, well, at least
you sounded determined.
[23:41] ---
