    --Bye-bye!
    --Take care!
[00:48] ---
    I'm sorry, Erii.
[00:52] ---
    It's all right. I'm sure
    we'll see each other again.
[01:00] ---
    Bye-bye!
[01:04] ---
    Banri...
[01:06] ---
    ...take care of yourself.

[02:39] ---
    Banri and I were in
    the same Child Error facility.
[02:45] ---
    I'm shy around others,
    and don't make friends easily.
[02:50] ---
    However, I did become
    friends with Banri, at least.
[02:54] ---
    She always spoke
    to me via telepathy. But,
[02:59] ---
    she was moved to another facility,
    and ever since then...
[03:04] ---
    And yet, lately, I have
    been hearing Banri's voice...
[03:10] ---
    ...saying "Help," and "I'm in a lot of pain."
[03:14] ---
    But I don't know where she is,
    or why she is suffering so much.
[03:22] ---
    I want to help her,
    but... there's nothing I can do.
[03:30] ---
    It's all right. I'm sure
    you will find your friend.
[03:34] ---
    No, I will find her. You'll see.
[03:36] ---
    After all, I'm a member of Judgment!
[03:40] ---
    Miss Uiharu...
[03:42] ---
    That's right. Despite her appearance,
    Uiharu is an excellent Judgment officer.
[03:47] ---
    That "despite her appearance"
    was uncalled-for.
[03:49] ---
    Oh, sorry, it just slipped out.
[03:52] ---
    So please, rest assured.
[03:55] ---
    Thank you.
[03:58] ---
    Aren't you tired after your exam?
    You should get some rest.
[04:02] ---
    Mm-mm, I'm fine.
[04:06] ---
    The Level Upper incident? You mean...
[04:08] ---
    Yes. I had the opportunity
    to see into the past
[04:11] ---
    of the culprit, Kiyama Harumi,
[04:13] ---
    and that girl she mentioned,
    Edasaki, was in it.
[04:16] ---
    An induced burst experiment,
    to analyze the law of runaway abilities.
[04:21] ---
    Imagine, such an
    experiment being conducted...
[04:24] ---
    As I remember, this old man,
    named Kihara, was the one who oversaw it.
[04:29] ---
    Kihara? You mean Kihara Gensei...?
[04:32] ---
    Who is that?
[04:34] ---
    A scientist. A famous one, in some regards.
[04:37] ---
    He's what you might call a "mad scientist."
[04:39] ---
    Knowing him, he wouldn't
    be above human experimentation.
[04:43] ---
    Word is that his whereabouts
    are currently unknown, though.
[04:47] ---
    If that experiment actually took place,
[04:49] ---
    then the child subjects might
    be the source of the poltergeisting.
[04:54] ---
    What do you mean?
[04:56] ---
    That those children
    have become runaway espers.
[05:00] ---
    But I'm sure she said that those
    children are still asleep, even now.
[05:04] ---
    What if their abilities were
    out of control, even unconscious?
[05:08] ---
    Oh, no...
[05:09] ---
    You are saying that it
    is not intentional tampering,
[05:11] ---
    but that they are unconsciously
    causing the poltergeisting?
[05:14] ---
    It is a possibility.
    Where are the children now?
[05:18] ---
    Following the incident, Antiskill
    has been searching for them,
[05:21] ---
    but they have not
    yet discovered them.
[05:23] ---
    I see. Well, finding them
    has to come first, right?
[05:28] ---
    Today's lucky color is pink.
[05:33] ---
    That's a good sign, huh?
[05:38] ---
    H-Hold on a second.
[05:40] ---
    So, you're saying that Edasaki
    was once one of Kiyama's students,
[05:43] ---
    and Edasaki and company are
    the ones causing the poltergeisting?
[05:47] ---
    Yes, though it is only a hypothesis.
[05:50] ---
    Until we find those children,
    we won't know anything.
[05:53] ---
    But how are we supposed to find them?
[05:56] ---
    Well...
[06:00] ---
    That's it. All we have to do
    is pluck it out of the computer.
[06:03] ---
    You're on, Uiharu!
[06:07] ---
    Right, Uiharu?
[06:09] ---
    Of course I will look for
    them. I'll look, but...
[06:14] ---
    With Miss Haru'ue cleared,
    are you going to suspect her friend, next?
[06:22] ---
    Would you cut it out, already!
[06:34] ---
    Those children are asking for help.
[06:40] ---
    Sissy?
[06:42] ---
    You certainly have been in there a while.
[06:44] ---
    Mm-hmm. I've just been thinking.
[06:47] ---
    Well then, all right.
[06:49] ---
    What about you?
[06:51] ---
    Aren't you going to make up with Uiharu?
[06:55] ---
    I cannot blame Uiharu for being upset.
[06:59] ---
    However,
[07:00] ---
    as a Judgment officer,
    I have done nothing wrong.
[07:06] ---
    But Uiharu probably feels betrayed.
[07:11] ---
    Even so, I believe that she is certain...
[07:17] ---
    ...to understand--
[07:22] ---
    Don't try to smooth-talk
    your way in here!
[07:25] ---
    Huh? Was it not the
    right time for me to come in?
[07:27] ---
    Shut up!
[07:31] ---
    Here.
[07:31] ---
    Some get-well snacks.
[07:34] ---
    They're from a time-honored
    taiyaki shop in School District 8.
[07:38] ---
    You went that far away for them?
[07:39] ---
    You'll understand once you try one.
[07:41] ---
    This taiyaki is the best in
    all of Academy City.
[07:44] ---
    Oh, and they're all red sweet-bean.
    Any other way is just wrong.
[07:47] ---
    Oh, they're still warm.
[07:51] ---
    Actually...
[07:53] ---
    That's my ability.
[07:56] ---
    By doing this, I can maintain
    the temperature of things that I touch.
[08:00] ---
    But I can't hold anything that's too hot,
[08:03] ---
    so moderately warm things
    are the most I can handle.
[08:07] ---
    I haven't even told Miss Misaka
    and the others about this.
[08:11] ---
    It's in return for you telling me
    what your ability is, Miss Haru'ue.
[08:20] ---
    S-So...
[08:21] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[08:24] ---
    It's delicious.
[08:29] ---
    They're delicious, all right.
[08:33] ---
    According to Kiyama's deposition,
[08:35] ---
    there were ten human
    experimentation subjects.
[08:38] ---
    All of them assumed a vegetative state,
[08:40] ---
    and they were divided up and taken in
[08:42] ---
    by treatment centers across Academy City.
[08:43] ---
    But they're not there, right?
[08:45] ---
    Right. They were repeatedly transferred,
[08:48] ---
    and somewhere along the way,
    the trail disappears.
[08:50] ---
    Yeah...
[08:52] ---
    How about a quick break?
[08:56] ---
    No, thanks.
[09:07] ---
    Huh? Where are you going?
[09:09] ---
    Oh, no place special.
[09:13] ---
    Hey, are you thirsty?
[09:18] ---
    Oh, you know,
    it's hard to be around them.
[09:21] ---
    I know. We've kind of
    become a train wreck, huh?
[09:27] ---
    We have to find Miss Edasaki.
[09:30] ---
    Both for Miss Haru'ue's sake,
    and for Uiharu's.
[09:34] ---
    Not to mention, for our sake.
[09:38] ---
    You're right.
[09:41] ---
    I wonder who that is.
[09:42] ---
    Yes, Misaka.
[09:45] ---
    Kiyama Harumi is out on bail?!
[09:47] ---
    Yes.
[09:48] ---
    I went to the detention center,
[09:49] ---
    to speak with her about these
    experiments. When I got there...
[09:53] ---
    After everything she did,
    they granted her bail?
[09:57] ---
    I don't know the specifics,
    but it looks that way.
[10:02] ---
    That's nuts.
[10:04] ---
    I guess the thread connecting
    us to the children has been cut.
[10:07] ---
    Huh? But the reason
    why Kiyama did all those things
[10:12] ---
    was to rescue the children, right?
[10:14] ---
    Then for her to now
    use those children like this is...
[10:18] ---
    It's not too surprising.
[10:20] ---
    The woman even used the students'
    desire to increase their abilities.
[10:29] ---
    No, thanks.
[10:30] ---
    How about you stop playing the martyr?
[10:33] ---
    I'm sorry.
[10:37] ---
    Miss Uiharu, I'm surprised
    that with all you're doing,
[10:39] ---
    you haven't tracked them down.
[10:41] ---
    I'm not done.
[10:42] ---
    There is still some data I have yet to trace.
[10:48] ---
    Say, what's this, here?
[10:50] ---
    The possibility of mass
    outbreaks of RSPK Syndrome
[10:53] ---
    due to AIM diffusion field resonance?
[10:58] ---
    Resonance?
[10:59] ---
    Yes. The resonance
    of the AIM diffusion fields
[11:03] ---
    of similarly-typed espers with each other.
[11:07] ---
    You start with one runaway
    esper being tampered with, after which,
[11:10] ---
    espers of the same type resonating
    with them, in rapid succession.
[11:15] ---
    Moreover, these similar
    types can be quite dangerous...
[11:18] ---
    Say, Sissy, in your case,
[11:21] ---
    they would include the ability
    to manipulate electrical fields,
[11:23] ---
    and the ability to
    manipulate magnetic fields.
[11:27] ---
    So in short, they resonate
    with multiple espers.
[11:30] ---
    So then...
[11:31] ---
    You could say the same
    thing about the ten Child Errors
[11:34] ---
    who have now gone missing.
[11:36] ---
    If all of their runaway
    abilities have been activated,
[11:41] ---
    their sphere of influence among
    all other students...
[11:44] ---
    ...would reach as high
    as seventy-eight percent.
[11:46] ---
    Seventy-eight percent?! That would mean...
[11:49] ---
    Poltergeisting on a scale
    that could conceivably tear apart
[11:52] ---
    the whole city would occur.
[11:54] ---
    But this thesis may not be correct.
[11:57] ---
    Please take a close look at the author.
[12:00] ---
    "Kihara Gensei"
[12:00] ---
    Kihara Gensei?
[12:01] ---
    I checked into this man, as well.
[12:03] ---
    His whereabouts are unknown,
    just as Miss Therestina said.
[12:07] ---
    All of the associated research
    facilities are shut down, as well.
[12:11] ---
    And all of his data has been scattered.
[12:11] ---
    "Advanced Education Bureau"
[12:14] ---
    Is something the matter?
[12:16] ---
    Huh? Uh-uh. Not really.
[12:21] ---
    Ah! Sissy! That is too rough!
[12:26] ---
    Much as I'd like to tear into
    whatever it is she's dreaming...
[12:35] ---
    Forgive me.
[12:42] ---
    All right, my disguise is complete.
[12:47] ---
    "Advanced Education Bureau"
    "Entranceway"
[12:57] ---
    If the power isn't even on,
    I didn't need this, huh?
[13:09] ---
    No doubt about it, this is it.
[13:12] ---
    Sure enough, swing and a miss.
[13:18] ---
    There is nothing left here.
[13:20] ---
    Yes, I am pulling out.
[13:23] ---
    #6 Level 6
[13:24] ---
    It's her!
[13:30] ---
    It's you.
[13:31] ---
    I knew it. Kiyama Harumi.
[13:34] ---
    Did you need something--
[13:35] ---
    Are these latest events your doing, too?
[13:40] ---
    What would you do if they are?
[13:42] ---
    There's no way I can
    let you get away with it!
[13:49] ---
    Whoa, hang on, what is this?!
[13:52] ---
    Well, that's that.
[13:56] ---
    You really went and did it.
[13:57] ---
    Imagine, sending an electric shock
    through the dead security system...
[14:01] ---
    That's not what I meant to do.
[14:03] ---
    But never mind me,
    what were you doing there?
[14:06] ---
    How did you get out on bail?
    What's your objective?
[14:10] ---
    Every little lady who sits in my car
[14:13] ---
    always asks me questions
    with a stern look on her face.
[14:16] ---
    Huh?
[14:17] ---
    Sorry, but the questions
    will have to come later.
[14:28] ---
    "Staff Entrance"
    "New Hospital Ward 3"
[14:35] ---
    What is this place?
[14:36] ---
    This way.
[14:46] ---
    What is this?
[14:48] ---
    If you've peeked through my
    memories, you should know.
[14:52] ---
    These...
[14:54] ---
    ...are my students.
[14:58] ---
    Then sure enough, you *are
    *the one causing the poltergeisting!
[15:04] ---
    Yes.
[15:06] ---
    However,
[15:08] ---
    there's kind of a long story behind it.
[15:11] ---
    Also, pardon me for saying so,
    but this is a hospital;
[15:16] ---
    could you please refrain from
    any electric shocks?
[15:20] ---
    I remember you!
[15:22] ---
    It's been a long time, huh?
[15:25] ---
    W-What in the world is going on here?!
[15:30] ---
    Kihara Gensei.
[15:33] ---
    All of this started with him, right?
[15:36] ---
    Allow me to venture to ask,
[15:38] ---
    what is our ultimate purpose?
[15:42] ---
    For what reason does Academy City exist?
[15:46] ---
    Yes, it is for no other
    reason than the creation
[15:49] ---
    of a Level 6, a being beyond mankind.
[15:53] ---
    Within the brains of runaway espers,
[15:56] ---
    signal pathways form that
    differ from a normal neural network,
[16:00] ---
    and various neurotransmitters
    and hormones are secreted abnormally.
[16:06] ---
    By extracting those secretions,
    condensing, and refining them,
[16:10] ---
    an ability crystal like this one is produced.
[16:13] ---
    By administering this
    to a specially-selected esper,
[16:17] ---
    we can produce a Level 6.
[16:20] ---
    This ability crystal will
    be the scientific torch
[16:22] ---
    that lights the way for us to attain
[16:25] ---
    "the one who arrives at the
    celestial will, without being divine,"
[16:29] ---
    or "SYSTEM," after all these
    years of being bound in darkness.
[16:41] ---
    Do you really think...
[16:43] ---
    ...you can produce a Level 6 with that?
[16:47] ---
    Of course I do.
[16:49] ---
    Really? Are you not needlessly
    inviting impaired consciousness,
[16:53] ---
    and inducing some serious side effects?
[16:56] ---
    My experiments have
    produced consistent results.
[17:00] ---
    And how many have
    fallen victim to you, to that end?
[17:04] ---
    Victims? There are no victims in my research.
[17:08] ---
    No way there could be.
[17:12] ---
    I cannot say I know how *he
    *regarded those people,
[17:17] ---
    but there were victims.
[17:20] ---
    I came to be aware of
    the facts concerning the case,
[17:25] ---
    and then, became convinced.
[17:25] ---
    "Kiyama Harumi"
     "Confession Statement 01"
[17:28] ---
    The Child Errors that
    Kiyama was trying to save
[17:31] ---
    were used as the test
    subjects for the "ability crystal."
[17:36] ---
    Even the burst experiment,
[17:38] ---
    to analyze the law of runaway abilities,
    which I mentioned to you,
[17:41] ---
    was for expediency's sake.
[17:44] ---
    The experiment you saw
    was a dosing of the ability crystals.
[17:49] ---
    It couldn't be...
[17:50] ---
    All this, over something like Level 6,
    which you haven't got the first clue about?
[17:55] ---
    And because of that screwed-up experiment,
[17:57] ---
    these children have ended up like this?!
[18:05] ---
    All I can do, as a doctor,
    is to save these children.
[18:10] ---
    Luckily, it did not take too
    much time to get them all together.
[18:15] ---
    My name carries a certain
    amount of weight in this town, you see.
[18:19] ---
    After that, I needed to speak to
    a specialist about how to revive them.
[18:23] ---
    And that's how you made bail.
[18:25] ---
    I'm the one who asked for such a huge favor.
[18:28] ---
    I'm grateful to the doctor.
[18:30] ---
    Thanks to being allowed to use this facility,
[18:32] ---
    I have a rough idea
    of how to revive the children.
[18:35] ---
    Then, you can save them?
[18:36] ---
    Nope, another problem has arisen.
[18:40] ---
    Problem?
[18:41] ---
    As they get close to awakening,
[18:43] ---
    their AIM diffusion field
    readings have abnormal values.
[18:46] ---
    Meaning...?
[18:48] ---
    Their abilities are out of control.
[18:50] ---
    They also triggered cases of
    multiple simultaneous RSPK Syndrome.
[18:54] ---
    Why?
[18:56] ---
    His research had been ongoing.
[18:59] ---
    Going by the ability crystal I knew of,
[19:02] ---
    they shouldn't have caused any
    poltergeisting. However,
[19:07] ---
    with an upgraded ability crystal...
[19:11] ---
    He has turned these
    children into runaway espers,
[19:14] ---
    even as they lie here asleep.
[19:17] ---
    Then, if you were to try
    to wake these children up...
[19:20] ---
    Yeah,
[19:21] ---
    it would cause poltergeisting.
[19:25] ---
    Isn't there some other way?
[19:28] ---
    I am developing some vaccine software
[19:30] ---
    that will bring their runaway
    abilities under control, but...
[19:34] ---
    the building block of an ability crystal
[19:37] ---
    is called the "First Sample,"
[19:39] ---
    a refined component derived
[19:41] ---
    from the very first human
    experiment test subject.
[19:44] ---
    For me to complete the vaccine software,
    I must analyze that data.
[19:49] ---
    So then, the reason you
    were at that laboratory back there...
[19:52] ---
    I was looking for that data.
[19:55] ---
    There wasn't anything left there, though.
[19:59] ---
    But I am not about to give up.
[20:02] ---
    That data is indispensable
    in ability crystal research.
[20:07] ---
    There's no way something
    that important would be discarded.
[20:10] ---
    It must be out there, somewhere.
[20:13] ---
    I will do whatever it takes to find it.
[20:18] ---
    And if you are unable to find it?
[20:23] ---
    Then I will awaken the children.
[20:26] ---
    Even knowing that it will
    cause poltergeisting?!
[20:29] ---
    I cannot allow these
    children to sleep any longer!
[20:31] ---
    But even so...
[20:34] ---
    you can't...
[20:35] ---
    Yes.
[20:36] ---
    I won't let you.
[20:39] ---
    Miss Therestina?
[20:41] ---
    Sorry.
[20:42] ---
    I followed you here.
[20:44] ---
    What the...?
[20:46] ---
    Multi Active Rescue.
    We're taking the children into custody.
[20:50] ---
    Please do as we instruct.
[20:53] ---
    Is that an order?
[20:54] ---
    Yes. As a rescue unit,
[20:56] ---
    we will emphatically prevent any situation
    which will do harm to Academy City.
[21:00] ---
    I have gotten a warrant, but personally,
[21:03] ---
    I'm hoping you will turn
    them over voluntarily.
[21:07] ---
    This looks genuine.
[21:09] ---
    Please, do not worry.
[21:11] ---
    We are specialists when
    it comes to lifesaving.
[21:14] ---
    We have a facility all ready
    to secure and treat the espers.
[21:18] ---
    But...
[21:19] ---
    We can also lawfully access
    data that you are unable to access.
[21:25] ---
    There is also a good possibility
[21:27] ---
    that we can acquire data on the
    "First Sample" that you mentioned.
[21:40] ---
    Secure them.
[21:45] ---
    Wait!
[21:52] ---
    What do you think you're doing?
[21:54] ---
    You're the one who said,
    if I didn't like it, come and stop you.
[21:58] ---
    Move! I am the only one
    who can save those children!
[22:01] ---
    You haven't saved them, have you?!
[22:04] ---
    You've used the Level Upper,
    and caused all that poltergeisting,
[22:09] ---
    but you haven't saved a single one of them.
[22:13] ---
    I'm so close...
    I'm just one step away... so...
[22:18] ---
    Miss Edasaki is right now asking for help.
[22:23] ---
    Miss Haru'ue--my friend,
[22:28] ---
    can hear her voice.
[22:40] ---
    Carry them out.

    #23 What Is It You See
    In Your Eyes Right Now?
[24:02] ---
    No choice but to strip down.
    Now then, next time...
[24:05] ---
    Would you pick up on the situation, already?
[24:07] ---
    We're getting to the climax!
