[00:33] ---
    Level Six?
[00:36] ---
    Yes. Level Six.
[00:39] ---
    You are going to be the
    dream of Academy City.
[00:44] ---
    Grandfather! I'm going
    to be the dream of this city...
[00:48] ---
    Yes.
[00:49] ---
    You will lay the groundwork.
[01:03] ---
    Yellow Marble to Marble
    Leader. We have arrived.
[01:07] ---
    Now commencing installation.
[01:10] ---
    Brown Marble,
[01:11] ---
    how are you coming along?
    Is there a blue car following you?
[01:15] ---
    Right on schedule.
[01:16] ---
    Time to put an end to this farce.
[01:24] ---
    Why don't we move right to the finale?
[01:30] ---
    Just you wait.
[01:32] ---
    I swear I will...
[01:41] ---
    Wha--?!
[01:48] ---
    What was that?
[01:50] ---
    Geez, I don't know what your idea of fun is.
[01:54] ---
    Just a fancy little trick.
[01:56] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[01:58] ---
    What are you two doing here?
[02:01] ---
    What the hell are you...
[02:06] ---
    Dr. Kiyama! Those trucks are decoys!
[02:09] ---
    The children aren't in them.
[02:11] ---
    They're not? Huh?
[02:13] ---
    --Miss Saten, quickly!
[02:14] ---
    --W-Whoa, wait up!
    --H-Hey, what are you...?
[02:16] ---
    There's no room! And you're heavy, Uiharu!
[02:18] ---
    Please, get in!
[02:19] ---
    I'll be your navigator!
[02:21] ---
    Hurry! You want to save the children, right?!
[02:38] ---
    Sissy!
[02:41] ---
    Well now, you'll have to face me...
[02:47] ---
    Um...
[02:50] ---
    This will be far enough.
[02:58] ---
    Th-That objectionable ability belongs to...
[03:01] ---
    Let's just say that... the cavalry is here.
[03:06] ---
    It looks like it's time for my ability,
[03:09] ---
    "Aero Hand," to take the spotlight!
[03:12] ---
    Miss Kongo!
[03:15] ---
    We will be taking it from here.
[03:18] ---
    Sissy, you go help Kiyama Harumi!
[03:22] ---
    Kuroko...
[03:25] ---
    All right.
[03:26] ---
    But if you can't catch up,
    you'll have to answer to me!
[03:31] ---
    Would you say that to me,
[03:33] ---
    knowing that I am
    Shirai Kuroko, Sissy's partner?!
[03:36] ---
    Hey! Please don't go
    stealing my signature phrase!
[03:39] ---
    --Miss Konori!
    --Okay!
[03:44] ---
    All right, let's go!
[04:00] ---

[05:04] ---

[05:08] ---
    I'll reach the next stage to realize all
[05:12] ---
    Tashika na kizuna shinjite
[05:37] ---
    I never imagined that
    I would team up with you someday.
[05:43] ---
    Shall we take this opportunity
    to settle whose ability is greater?
[05:54] ---
    Shortly after that other squad moved out,
[05:57] ---
    two transport vehicles
    posing as civilian trucks
[05:59] ---
    --were picked up leaving MAR headquarters
    --Huh? This recording...
[06:02] ---
    by Antiskill satellite surveillance.
    Those are probably...
[06:05] ---
    The real transports.
[06:07] ---
    You mean I fell hook, line,
    and sinker for a decoy?
[06:12] ---
    Let's hurry!
[06:13] ---
    It looks like they have
    already reached their destination!
[06:16] ---
    Where is it?
[06:17] ---
    An unused propulsion system laboratory
    in School District 23!
[06:21] ---
    Take this next turnoff to the left!
[06:25] ---
    Ho... Nice.
[06:28] ---
    But then, anything less...
[06:36] ---
    Hold on!
[06:39] ---
    ...and it wouldn't be worth killing you!
[06:46] ---
    Miss Konori!
[06:51] ---
    W-What was that just now?
[06:52] ---
    Come on, come on!
    Flee like your life depends on it...
[06:58] ---
    ...or you're gonna get flattened!
[07:02] ---
    That voice...
[07:03] ---
    It's that woman.
[07:07] ---
    Huh? Misaka?
[07:09] ---
    W-What on earth are you doing?!
[07:12] ---
    Go even faster!
[07:14] ---
    You don't have to tell me!
[07:21] ---
    I'm sorry.
[07:23] ---
    I...
[07:25] ---
    was wrong.
[07:29] ---
    If I had been in your position,
[07:31] ---
    I would have done the same thing.
[07:37] ---
    I'll make up for my failure...
[07:41] ---
    ...right here and now!
[07:47] ---
    My shocks were deflected?!
[07:51] ---
    Did you think that would work against me?!
[07:55] ---
    In that case...
[07:59] ---
    Take this!
[08:03] ---
    I know about that!
[08:06] ---
    It can't be!
[08:07] ---
    I've been apprised of everything
    in the data bank about your ability,
[08:13] ---
    including the fact that your
    railgun's range is only fifty meters!
[08:23] ---
    What a jerk!
[08:25] ---
    Take the next turnoff left, too!
[08:28] ---
    Incoming signal?
[08:31] ---
    Tch, I missed? Oh well.
[08:35] ---
    Green Marble, they're
    headed your way. Crush them!
[08:39] ---
    This is Green Marble.
    We're currently engaging Antiskill--
[08:43] ---
    You're not going to step
    one foot past this point!
[08:47] ---
    That's right. We've managed
    to contain all ramps forward from here.
[08:51] ---
    Sorry, but we're being pressured from above.
[08:53] ---
    This is the most that we can do for you.
[08:56] ---
    Why is Antiskill...
[08:57] ---
    Never mind why!
[08:58] ---
    Just hurry up and get to those children!
[09:03] ---
    Tch, worthless pieces of trash!
[09:06] ---
    In that case, I'll deal with it myself!
[09:12] ---
    Huh? Not again!
[09:13] ---
    Hold on tight!
[09:29] ---
    Scamper around, will you?
[09:31] ---
    Give up, already!
[09:34] ---
    I don't care how hard you struggle,
[09:37] ---
    you're never gonna be
    able to save those brats!
[09:43] ---
    Even so...
[09:45] ---
    I swore that I would keep on trying!
[09:47] ---
    I...
[09:52] ---
    A teacher cannot give up on her students!
[09:58] ---
    Of course they don't.
[10:00] ---
    No matter what happens,
    I'll make sure you get there.
[10:03] ---
    That is the whole reason
    why I'm here, after all!
[10:08] ---
    What can you do at this point?
[10:11] ---
    Just die, already!
[10:17] ---
    --Misaka!
    --Miss Misaka!
[10:36] ---
    Ha! Big deal! I know
    all of your attacks, you know!
[10:42] ---
    In that case, let me show you this!
[10:46] ---
    Kuroko!!
[10:48] ---
    Sissy!
[10:50] ---
    I'm able to fire more...
[10:53] ---
    ...than just coins! This is my full power!
[11:00] ---
    What?!
[11:09] ---
    Geez, just teleport away
    without warning, why don't you?
[11:23] ---
    Miss Misaka! Miss Shirai!
[11:25] ---
    Are you all right? Are you hurt?
[11:28] ---
    I'm fine, I'm fine.
[11:29] ---
    You saved us.
[11:32] ---
    --I want to th--
    --Wait.
[11:35] ---
    You can tell me after
    we've saved the children.
[11:42] ---
    Yeah.
[11:44] ---
    "Academy City, School District 23"
[11:51] ---
    Well?
[11:52] ---
    Can you figure it out?
[11:54] ---
    Almost there.
[11:55] ---
    This protection is pretty tight.
[11:57] ---
    Good grief,
[11:58] ---
    This is because you took out
    every last one of those guys, Sissy.
[12:02] ---
    H-How was I supposed to know?
[12:04] ---
    I had no idea that
    there was no one inside before.
[12:09] ---
    Got it!
[12:10] ---
    In this facility,
[12:12] ---
    there's only one area where
    power consumption is especially high--
[12:16] ---
    the lowermost block.
[12:25] ---
    I found you.
[12:27] ---
    Miss Haru'ue! Miss Haru'ue!
[12:30] ---
    Miss Haru'ue!
[12:34] ---
    Miss Haru'ue...! Uh, where
    is the system panel for this thing?
[12:38] ---
    Just a minute. I'll go look over there.
[12:41] ---
    Please do!
[12:47] ---
    Just sit tight.
[12:49] ---
    We'll help you out now--
[12:54] ---
    H-Hey, are you all right?
[12:57] ---
    That sound...
[12:59] ---
    It can't be...
[13:00] ---
    Why, you...
[13:02] ---
    ...filthy little brats!
[13:04] ---
    No way... It's you...!
[13:06] ---
    This is for earlier!
[13:09] ---
    Miss Shirai! Miss Misaka!
[13:10] ---
    Why, you...!
[13:15] ---
    What was that?
[13:24] ---
    Ah, that felt good!
[13:27] ---
    --Make me look like a chump, will you?
[13:27] ---
    --It's her...!
[13:30] ---
    This is Capacity Down, right?!
[13:33] ---
    The sound that only afflicts espers,
    like Miss Misaka mentioned!
[13:38] ---
    This sound...?
[13:39] ---
    What's your problem?
[13:41] ---
    Even if you know what it is,
    what can you do about it?
[13:43] ---
    I remember her saying
    the upgraded version was big,
[13:46] ---
    and the fixed speakers could not be moved...!
[13:50] ---
    Yeah, but they've been
    placed throughout the facility.
[13:54] ---
    Would you like to go around
    and destroy them, one by one?
[13:57] ---
    For a system to be as big as this,
[14:00] ---
    it would limit where
    its control center could be...!
[14:02] ---
    From what I've seen
    of the inside of this facility...
[14:05] ---
    ...the only place that could be...
    is where we just were...
[14:10] ---
    the central control room...!
[14:11] ---
    Uiharu...
[14:14] ---
    In that case,
[14:16] ---
    do your worst. That is, if you can!
[14:22] ---
    Sheesh, what a gabby little brat you are.
[14:26] ---
    And here, I'm about to
    show you something fantastic--
[14:30] ---
    the completion of the ability crystal.
[14:34] ---
    Why?
[14:37] ---
    You're a victim of this, too, aren't you?
[14:40] ---
    Your grandfather used you as a lab animal,
[14:43] ---
    and had your ability run out of control...
[14:46] ---
    And yet...
[14:47] ---
    I am not a victim.
[14:50] ---
    I've obtained the right.
    I'm going to allow this seed
[14:54] ---
    which was born inside of me, to bloom.
[14:57] ---
    Don't tell me that's the First Sample!
[15:01] ---
    The right to produce a Level Six!
[15:05] ---
    Level... Six...?
[15:08] ---
    That's right!
[15:10] ---
    She is about to become
    Academy City's first Level Six.
[15:14] ---
    Using the power of these other kids!
[15:18] ---
    Huh?
[15:20] ---
    You don't mean... Miss Haru'ue!
[15:29] ---
    A reception ability above
    her level under specific wavelengths.
[15:34] ---
    It truly comes in handy for me that her
    ability can resonate with the ability crystal.
[15:40] ---
    High-level Telepaths are so rare, after all.
[15:43] ---
    Why?
[15:44] ---
    Why these children again?
[15:47] ---
    Why are these children
    always made to suffer?!
[15:50] ---
    Hey, I'm just going to borrow
[15:53] ---
    the reality inside these kids' heads
    for a quick moment.
[15:58] ---
    Personal Reality...?
[16:00] ---
    Hmph, it doesn't matter
    what you call it.
[16:03] ---
    In short, I'm extracting
[16:05] ---
    the neurotransmitters
    that control activity within the brain,
[16:08] ---
    particularly those which
    make them sleeping runaway espers,
[16:11] ---
    and fusing them with the First Sample.
[16:14] ---
    By doing so, the ability crystal
    will acquire an inhibitor,
[16:18] ---
    and it will be perfected.
[16:21] ---
    The old geezer never seemed
    to catch on to that,
[16:23] ---
    and was utterly absorbed
    in applying minor changes to it.
[16:28] ---
    Now, all that's left is for me to...
[16:30] ---
    Don't do it!
[16:34] ---
    If you do this, and these children
    awaken in their runaway state...
[16:39] ---
    Academy City will be struck
    by unprecedented poltergeisting,
[16:42] ---
    and be destroyed.
[16:46] ---
    That's fine with me.
[16:50] ---
    "One who arrives at the celestial will,
    without being divine."
[16:57] ---
    That's the whole reason for Academy City!
[17:00] ---
    Once a Level Six has been created,
    this city has served its purpose!
[17:10] ---
    Do not...
[17:11] ---
    ...give me a hard time.
[17:14] ---
    Dr. Kiya--
[17:15] ---
    You just lie there and be quiet.
[17:18] ---
    Miss Saten...
[17:19] ---
    Miss Saten...!
[17:23] ---
    Where is it?
[17:24] ---
    Where is that whatchamacallit-down thing?
[17:29] ---
    You said something interesting, huh?
[17:32] ---
    That voice...
[17:33] ---
    Skill Out were not my guinea pigs?
[17:36] ---
    You're partly right, Skill Out
    were not my only guinea pigs!
[17:40] ---
    You are all my guinea pigs!
[17:43] ---
    Academy City is my breeding farm,
[17:47] ---
    and every last one of you
    kids are my livestock!
[17:51] ---
    M-Miss Misaka!
[17:53] ---
    I think it's time I finished you off--
[17:57] ---
    What's that?
[17:59] ---
    Guinea pig or not,
[18:01] ---
    I don't really give a damn!
[18:04] ---
    Is that...?
[18:05] ---
    Miss Saten!
[18:06] ---
    There's another one of you kids?
    How can she move?
[18:09] ---
    You keep your hands...
[18:11] ---
    ...off of my friends!
[18:16] ---
    The sound...!
[18:17] ---
    No--!
[18:32] ---
    Fine, then. All right.
[18:35] ---
    I'm going to blow you all away,
    along with this whole facility!
[18:41] ---
    I built this after analyzing your ability!
[18:46] ---
    It's even more powerful than your railgun!
[18:48] ---
    Geez, guinea pigs and livestock...
[18:52] ---
    How much do you have to pity yourself
[18:54] ---
    to redirect that much resentment onto others?
[18:56] ---
    Electromaster, Level Five,
[18:59] ---
    in this town, you are nothing more than data!
[19:03] ---
    Yeah, you're just data, with a smart mouth!
[19:05] ---
    Academy City is the best place
    which will allow us to be who we are.
[19:12] ---
    I can do things here
    together with everyone else
[19:15] ---
    that I could not do on my own.
[19:18] ---
    And that...
[19:19] ---
    You people are not human.
    You're just samples!
[19:23] ---
    That is what Academy City is!
[19:24] ---
    ...is mine, and mine alone!
[20:11] ---
    Nice work.
[20:14] ---
    You saved us.
[20:29] ---
    Is that it?
[20:31] ---
    Yeah. The program is complete.
[20:35] ---
    And now...
[20:43] ---
    It's all right.
[20:48] ---
    Banri, you see,
[20:50] ---
    says to say,
[20:51] ---
    "I trust you, Teacher."
[21:22] ---
    Teacher...?
[21:25] ---
    Why do you have those dark
    circles under your eyes?
[21:32] ---
    I've...
[21:34] ---
    been busy...
[21:37] ---
    ...with a lot of things.
[21:41] ---
    It's true.
[21:43] ---
    Your hair is longer, too.
[21:46] ---
    Still, it's Teacher.
[21:50] ---
    It's Miss Kiyama.
[21:55] ---
    You guys...
[21:58] ---
    Erii...
[22:02] ---
    Thank you... for hearing... my voice.
[22:10] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[22:18] ---
    Let me say it for real this time.
[22:22] ---
    Thank you.
[22:38] ---
    I do not know what to call it.
[22:40] ---
    Fighting a lone battle? Fighting like a lion?
[22:43] ---
    After Miss Shirai lost
    her nerve and ran away,
[22:45] ---
    I faced the enemy before me all on my own,
[22:47] ---
    tossing them about here,
    throwing them about there...
[22:51] ---
    Wow! Then, the one who put a stop
[22:53] ---
    to the large-scale poltergeisting
    we've been hearing about...
[22:56] ---
    ...was you, Miss Kongo, right?
[22:58] ---
    We should have known!
[23:01] ---
    When is it coming?
[23:02] ---
    Any moment now.
[23:04] ---
    I hope it comes soon.
[23:06] ---
    Erii, where are Miss Uiharu and the others?
[23:09] ---
    She said they would be right there,
    and to go on ahead.
[23:12] ---
    Though I have to admit, they are late.
[23:14] ---
    It's a special commemoration day, too.
[23:18] ---
    We have to hurry, or we're going to miss it!
[23:20] ---
    It's unlike you
    to be running late, Misaka and Shirai.
[23:24] ---
    My word! Sissy, of all the days to sleep in!
[23:29] ---
    Oh, hush! You were sound asleep
    too, weren't you?!
[23:32] ---
    Then again, I was surprised that Miss Misaka
[23:35] ---
    would come up with an idea like this.
[23:37] ---
    What are you talking about?
[23:39] ---
    It's a truly romantic idea,
    one you'd expect from Misaka, isn't it?
[23:43] ---
    Ah...
[23:44] ---
    I-I wouldn't say all that.
[23:49] ---
    Ah, Miss Shirai?
[23:50] ---
    Huh? You haven't arrived yet?
[23:53] ---
    No, I don't need anything.
[23:56] ---

[24:15] ---
    Ah! We cannot just stand around
    like this! We must hurry!
[24:20] ---
    U-Up there!
[24:24] ---
    There it is!
[24:26] ---
    --Where? Where?
    --Look!
[24:39] ---

[24:53] ---
    --I'll be waiting for you, Teacher!
    --Me, too!
[24:55] ---
    Thank you, Miss Kiyama!
[25:00] ---
    We love you!

[25:36] ---
