[00:09] ---
To your five o'clock!
[00:10] ---
That one is probably the main unit!
[00:15] ---
Wait! Your line of fire is...!
[00:35] ---
Why...
[00:38] ---
...did you miss?
[00:41] ---
So the Doppelganger's objective really is...
[00:49] ---
What's the matter?
[00:50] ---
Are you trying to get this city set ablaze?
[00:56] ---
Your bluffs won't work anymore.
[00:58] ---
You wouldn't do that.
[01:02] ---
Can't you just live the way you are now?
[01:07] ---
That's a cruel thing to ask.
[01:09] ---
If you suddenly learned one day...
[01:12] ---
...that you were just a counterfeit
covered with a layer of skin,
[01:16] ---
would you have the confidence
in yourself to maintain your identity?
[01:20] ---
If you think simply continuing
to operate is happiness for a machine,
[01:25] ---
then that's your human ego.
[01:29] ---
But,
[01:31] ---
--I mean, there are other--
--Continuing to exist in this form,
[01:33] ---
where I am reminded ad nauseum...
[01:36] ---
...that I do not possess a soul,
is torment all by itself.
[01:42] ---
Please...
[01:53] ---
All right.
[02:01] ---
"A Certain Scientific Railgun T"
[02:13] ---
I offer you my thanks,
[02:15] ---
Railgun.
[02:16] ---
You have to be kidding me!
[02:18] ---
Making me do this to you...
[02:22] ---
If you are troubled by this,
then you are an incredibly soft touch.
[02:27] ---
This is no worse than disposing
of a broken household appliance.
[02:32] ---
Your goal was to destroy yourself
and the airship with the repository of data
[02:38] ---
that would make it possible
to reconstruct yourself. As well as...
[02:42] ---
...getting rid of Miss Kuriba,
the one who could create them.
[02:45] ---
Your safeties prevent you
from committing suicide,
[02:48] ---
so you were trying to use those gas tanks
[02:49] ---
to activate Academy City's
intercept systems, weren't you?
[02:54] ---
Yeah.
[02:56] ---
There's something I need to tell you,
while I still can...
[03:07] ---
What the...?
[03:11] ---
Miss Kuriba... I was just about to tell her
that I could reason with her to--
[03:17] ---
You have the devil's own luck.
[03:26] ---
No way!
[03:30] ---
It can't be... It can't be...
[03:32] ---
K-K-Kuriba, we can fix her!
[03:35] ---
--Hurry and collect her parts!
--Hold on!
[03:37] ---
Just let the Doppelganger rest in peace!
[03:40] ---
This is what she wants!
[03:44] ---
What are you--
[03:45] ---
Chief, I can't take part
in this experiment any longer.
[03:51] ---
Wha--?
[03:52] ---
Actions that cause distress to the subject
[03:54] ---
for the sake of the
researcher's profit or fame...
[03:57] ---
...are not what I call medical care.
[03:58] ---
Just a second, now. Do you realize
the good this research will bring about--
[04:02] ---
What you want
isn't even in the Doppelganger!
[04:07] ---
Her soul doesn't exist.
[04:09] ---
It's just a fallacy,
[04:11] ---
born of wishful thinking in
getting the results you wanted.
[04:19] ---
Y--
[04:21] ---
You expect me to believe that?!
[04:22] ---
Huh?!
[04:24] ---
I'm taking her with me, no matter what!
[04:27] ---
This is ridiculous...
[04:28] ---
Shut up!
[04:31] ---
Turn around!
[04:34] ---
Do as I say, or else...!
[04:40] ---
I can tell roughly where
they are from their EM waves.
[04:42] ---
But if I'm not careful,
my attack could hit Miss Kuriba.
[04:46] ---
There's a good chance that
masked kid is watching what's going on,
[04:50] ---
but the airship has drifted pretty far away.
[04:53] ---
There's no telling how long
it would take her to get here by car.
[04:56] ---
What nonsense is this
about her not having a soul?
[04:59] ---
It's true!
[05:01] ---
The Doppelganger was
just using her artificial muscles
[05:04] ---
to make it look like soul possession!
[05:06] ---
You're lying!
[05:06] ---
No, I'm not! This whole time,
[05:09] ---
she's been suffering inside
her soulless, awkward self
[05:12] ---
and chose the route of shutting
her systems down herself!
[05:15] ---
No, it must be deeper inside!
Deeper than the artificial muscles!
[05:19] ---
It has to be!
[05:21] ---
Even if I have to dismantle her,
I can demonstrate...
[05:24] ---
Chief, stop it, already!
[05:26] ---
It's not right to trample on
the Doppelganger's dignity any further!
[05:29] ---
H-Hey!
[05:30] ---
You need this wake-up call, right now,
[05:32] ---
or we'll end up committing even more mistakes!
[05:34] ---
L-Let go--
[05:41] ---
N-No! You tugged at me!
[05:47] ---
I never meant to shoot you!
[05:52] ---
Miss Kuriba!
[05:56] ---
Stay with me!
[05:58] ---
I'll call the hospital for you.
[06:00] ---
--Seike and Naru are headed to you--
--I'll take care of it myself.
[06:03] ---
Just contact the hospital, please.
[06:05] ---
All right.
[06:06] ---
This is not a good place to get shot.
As it stands...
[06:09] ---
--Kuro--
--What a lucky place to get shot.
[06:13] ---
She always did... have the devil's own luck...
[06:18] ---
There's a cyborg right here,
[06:21] ---
designed exclusively for her...
[06:25] ---
Even without administering miahilin...
[06:29] ---
...part of me could...
[06:32] ---
Honestly... I learned way too much--
[06:42] ---
Sissy--
[06:44] ---
Kuroko... I hate to ask,
[06:48] ---
but could you help me carry
these two to the hospital?
[07:03] ---
No soul? After everything
we went through, that can't be true.
[07:07] ---
I-I know! If I do it over again,
then someday, even without Kuriba,
[07:12] ---
I could use a Child Error
right away to save time--
[07:16] ---
So even a man who sought
for affordable ways to save the lives
[07:21] ---
of so-called medical refugees from all over,
[07:25] ---
can no longer apply his
own brakes once he goes astray.
[07:29] ---
Human avarice is a frightening thing.
[07:34] ---
I'll reset you to help you remember
what your original intentions were.
[07:38] ---
If you have the spirit to do it all over again,
then crawl your way back
[07:42] ---
"#25 My Dear Friends"
[07:43] ---
from behind square one.
[07:50] ---
Sissy?
[07:51] ---
Did you get some good news or something?
[07:53] ---
Hmm? You know that girl
I had you take to the hospital?
[07:56] ---
It says she's out of intensive care.
[07:58] ---
Sounds like she's recovering nicely.
[08:01] ---
That is the best news.
[08:03] ---
And it's all because of you.
[08:05] ---
Thanks.
[08:07] ---
Oh, no, I simply wanted to see
that joyful look on your face.
[08:12] ---
However, if you insist on displaying
your feelings of gratitu-u-ude...
[08:17] ---
No, that's okay.
[08:19] ---
Oh my word...
[08:21] ---
I see you two are as close as ever.
[08:23] ---
Shokuho...
[08:24] ---
How do you do, Miss Misaka, Miss Shirai?
[08:27] ---
Hi there.
[08:28] ---
How do you do?
[08:29] ---
Oh yeah...
[08:30] ---
If this is about Miss Kuriba, I heard.
[08:33] ---
It's great that she pulled through.
That was good, hard work, Miss Misaka.
[08:38] ---
Yeah, yeah. "Hard" is right.
[08:40] ---
What is this, now?
[08:42] ---
Huh?
[08:43] ---
That business the other night--
[08:45] ---
by any chance, was it Shokuho Misaki
with whom you were having dealings?
[08:49] ---
Oh, uh, well...
[08:51] ---
For that matter, Sissy, did you two not
use to have more friction between you?
[08:55] ---
When did you start being so chummy?!
[08:57] ---
We haven't started being especially anything.
[08:59] ---
Then why were you keeping it a secret?!
[09:02] ---
You must be feeling guilty about something!
[09:03] ---
What would I have done to feel guilty about?!
[09:05] ---
That is not a satisfactory answer!
[09:08] ---
You have nothing to worry about, Miss Shirai.
[09:11] ---
I'm not going to take your Sissy away from you.
[09:15] ---
I-Is that so?
[09:16] ---
However...
[09:18] ---
I may decide to come and take you.
[09:21] ---
--Huh?
--Or not.
[09:23] ---
Hello!
[09:24] ---
--Huh?
--Ah!
[09:26] ---
Hi there, Hokaze!
[09:27] ---
Hello, Miss Uiharu, Miss Saten.
[09:30] ---
How do you do?
[09:32] ---
H-How do you do?!
[09:34] ---
Uiharu...
[09:35] ---
Huh? You know each other?
[09:37] ---
Yes. We met the other day at the 177th Branch.
[09:40] ---
You are every bit "The Lovely
Young Lady of Tokiwadai" as ever.
[09:45] ---
Especially those ringlets in your hair.
[09:47] ---
Thank you very much.
Oh, allow me to introduce you.
[09:51] ---
This is Miss Shokuho Misaki, our Queen.
[09:56] ---
--Qu-Queen?!
--Qu-Queen?!
[09:59] ---
Uiharu, it's really her, it's really her!
[10:01] ---
Wh-What do we do, Miss Saten?!
[10:03] ---
Oh my goodness. Nice to meet you.
[10:05] ---
--Pl-Pleased to meet you!
--Pl-Pleased to meet you!
[10:07] ---
It's my pleasure.
[10:08] ---
You're so shameless.
[10:10] ---
Oh? What was that, Miss Misaka?
[10:13] ---
Nothing at all.
[10:14] ---
Sissy!
[10:16] ---
--Now listen, you two.
--I just felt the greatest threat
to my virtue that I have ever felt!
[10:17] ---
--When speaking to the Queen,
there are rules that must be observed.
--I just felt the greatest threat to my virtue that I have ever felt!
[10:22] ---
There really never is a
dull moment in this city, huh?
[10:26] ---
Huh? Hold on, Shokuho!
[10:29] ---
Okay, so now that we are coming up
against more difficult missions,
[10:34] ---
are there any ideas as to how
we can raise Team Scavenger's standards?
[10:37] ---
Ooh, ooh!
[10:40] ---
Does anyone else have any ideas?
[10:42] ---
Huh?! How come you're ignoring me?!
[10:45] ---
Yeah, well... Okay, Naru?
[10:48] ---
Simply put, we should take on a new member!
[10:51] ---
Someone who can make up for what we're missing!
[10:53] ---
Naru actually has a decent idea.
[10:56] ---
So what is it we're missing?
[10:58] ---
A Yellow!
[10:59] ---
A Yellow?
[11:00] ---
What do you mean?
[11:01] ---
The name "Scavenger"...
[11:04] ---
...sounds like a tokusatsu team, doesn't it?
[11:06] ---
We start with me, the Pink one,
and Leader, you'd be Red, right?
[11:10] ---
Seike, I was thinking maybe
you'd be Black, but no, you're Blue.
[11:14] ---
And Yakkun, you're the White one,
[11:16] ---
so the only one we're missing is a Yellow!
[11:19] ---
Y-Yeah,
[11:19] ---
w-well, if we used your ability
to make paper outfits for all of us,
[11:24] ---
we could maybe all do some
sort of transformation together.
[11:28] ---
Not a chance in hell.
[11:30] ---
--I'm just saying...
--Nice! Let's start doing that!
[11:33] ---
--We should focus on polishing our skills first.
--Okay, let's get started!
Take your clothes off!
[11:36] ---
--We should focus on polishing our skills first.
--Huh? Hold on a second!
Why me?! Try it out on yourself!
[11:37] ---
--Mm-hmm, you're right about that.
--Huh? Hold on a second!
Why me?! Try it out on yourself!
[11:40] ---
I can't be an objective observer
if I do that! It will just take a second!
[11:50] ---
Why won't you?!
You've seen me naked plenty of times!
[11:52] ---
But you get naked without anyone asking you to!
[11:55] ---
Teammates don't keep secrets from
each other! They disclose everything!
[11:58] ---
How can you have such a radical take on that?!
[12:01] ---
My chemical stock is way down, too.
[12:04] ---
"Two minutes later"
[12:07] ---
Would you just...
[12:09] ---
...stop, already?
[12:10] ---
Heh, when you use your ability continuously,
[12:13] ---
you can only hold it for three minutes, right?
[12:17] ---
You're getting pretty close, aren't you?
[12:20] ---
She was out to run down
the clock from the start?!
[12:22] ---
As dumb as she is?!
[12:25] ---
Well if you just wait for 30 minutes,
Naru will take an interest in something else.
[12:28] ---
I just have to kill time outside until then.
[12:33] ---
When did she paper the door?!
She's been waiting since we started
[12:36] ---
for the moment when I lowered
my ability to grab the doorknob!
[12:43] ---
Come on now, Seike, Seike, let me see!
[12:47] ---
No!
[12:50] ---
Whew!
[12:51] ---
Sure enough, Seike, you're
more of a Blue than a Black!
[12:55] ---
What kind of idiocy was that?
[12:57] ---
Now Scavenger has been
brought that much closer togeth--
[13:00] ---
Both of you, be quiet.
[13:03] ---
I'll start by saying good work on your mission.
[13:06] ---
It sounds like it was a
bigger deal than anticipated, huh?
[13:10] ---
Now, as I'm sure you already know,
[13:12] ---
our client's business went bankrupt.
[13:15] ---
They've bilked us out of our fee. But,
[13:18] ---
just consider it a stroke of bad luck and--
[13:20] ---
Just a moment.
[13:22] ---
Do you expect us to just say "Yes, ma'am"?
[13:25] ---
What can I say? We no longer
have a client. What else can we do?
[13:29] ---
I don't get paid my commission, either.
I'm a victim, too.
[13:33] ---
We risked our lives out in the field.
[13:36] ---
That's a little different than your situation.
[13:39] ---
I'd appreciate it if you
didn't get cute with us.
[13:43] ---
Wow,
[13:44] ---
that's some pretty fierce bite,
coming from a dark side farm team.
[13:48] ---
It's not a matter of being in the big leagues,
[13:50] ---
or the minor leagues,
or even a matter of the money.
[13:54] ---
When we take on a mission,
[13:57] ---
we take on the heavy risk of being
put on ice, demoted, or even liquidated.
[14:03] ---
When our mission contract is nonetheless broken
[14:07] ---
and you try to dismiss it with a
"well, that's that," it's not right.
[14:10] ---
What I'm saying is, it isn't reasonable.
[14:13] ---
And we won't accept it until
we're shown some proper good faith.
[14:23] ---
Ugh, all right.
[14:26] ---
In return for zero reward,
I'll restore your rank to its original level.
[14:30] ---
Normally, you would have had to
carry out several more missions for this,
[14:34] ---
so it's a real bargain.
[14:35] ---
Original level?
You could give us a team name, too--
[14:38] ---
Don't press your luck, kid.
[14:41] ---
Now get to sleep so you're ready
for your next assignment!
[14:45] ---
We did it!
[14:46] ---
That's our Leader!
[14:49] ---
This means our reward will
increase starting with our next job.
[14:51] ---
--We can buy new equipment
to replace our old stuff!
[14:51] ---
--What are they talking about?
--We can buy new equipment
to replace our old stuff!
[14:54] ---
Our night-vision gear is an older model.
[14:56] ---
And our rations are past their expiration date.
[14:58] ---
Plus our communicators are just toys.
[15:03] ---
No, not this one.
[15:05] ---
It still works. And besides,
[15:08] ---
I've taken quite a liking to this character.
[15:19] ---
So, how are you feeling?
[15:22] ---
"Misaka's test numbers are satisfactory.
[15:25] ---
However, since she was told
to refrain from going outside,
[15:28] ---
she is craving some out-of-doors
stimulation," replies Misaka,
[15:31] ---
taking the opportunity to express
her dissatisfaction at her situation.
[15:36] ---
What other choice is there?
[15:38] ---
--Here, I bought you the kind of cake
you like, so this should cheer you--
[15:41] ---
--Big Sister,
--Here, I bought you the kind of cake
you like, so this should cheer you--
[15:42] ---
what is en vogue changes on a daily basis.
[15:45] ---
The most popular item at
that shop is another product now.
[15:49] ---
Huh?
[15:49] ---
But Misaka will still take those.
[15:52] ---
Listen, you...
[15:54] ---
...just accept them gracefully.
[15:58] ---
Ah, hey!
[15:59] ---
Oh, my.
[16:00] ---
Are you not that cat from once upon a time?
[16:03] ---
Miss Kongo?
[16:05] ---
Oh, Miss Misaka! Fancy meeting you here!
[16:08] ---
What are you doing here?
Don't tell me you're still being hospitalized.
[16:13] ---
No, I am here today to finish
the last of the remaining paperwork.
[16:17] ---
But never mind me, would that happen to be...?
[16:20] ---
Huh? Oh...
[16:24] ---
Mm-hmm,
[16:25] ---
this is my sister.
[16:28] ---
Oh, I knew it!
[16:30] ---
This is Miss Kongo. I told you
about her before, remember?
[16:33] ---
How when you went missing,
she stepped up and went all-out for you?
[16:38] ---
Yes, and how you were injured for Misaka's sake.
[16:42] ---
Thank you so very much for doing so.
[16:44] ---
Oh, please do not give it another thought.
[16:46] ---
I really am glad that you are safe.
[16:49] ---
Could I get a name, if you do not mind?
[16:52] ---
Name, you say?
[16:54] ---
On Hold.
[16:56] ---
Miss On Hold...? Th-That is quite a unique name.
[17:00] ---
He seems to like you.
[17:03] ---
Hm? Oh, that is the cat's name.
[17:06] ---
All right then, what is your name?
[17:09] ---
"Misaka's name? This Misaka is Misaka 10032,"
answers Misaka succinctly.
[17:16] ---
One... um... All right, would
you mind if I called you "Ichi"?
[17:21] ---
--Yeah...
--No, Misaka does not mind.
[17:23] ---
You don't mind?!
[17:24] ---
Ichi, is that a Tokiwadai uniform?
[17:27] ---
Yes. This is cosplay.
[17:30] ---
Cos... play...?
[17:32] ---
"That being said, what should Misaka call you?"
[17:36] ---
asks Misaka, brilliantly changing the subject.
[17:39] ---
Wh-Who, me? A-All right,
since I am calling you "Ichi,"
[17:46] ---
you can call me "Mi."
[17:53] ---
Incredible! Is this the ocean?
[17:56] ---
Hmm, yeah, close enough.
[17:58] ---
Hey! Don't tell her that!
It's bad for her education, you know.
[18:02] ---
I told you, remember?
[18:03] ---
This is an aquarium.
[18:06] ---
These are bigger versions of that thing
you used to make in your bottle!
[18:09] ---
No, not really--
[18:10] ---
You know, I wonder if this is
really the best place to take her.
[18:14] ---
You have to go through a lot
of trouble to leave Academy City,
[18:18] ---
but if I use my ability,
I know I can swing something.
[18:22] ---
Well, if we go too far away right off,
[18:24] ---
I'd be worried about her physical wellbeing.
Why don't we take it slow?
[18:30] ---
If you think that's best,
that's good enough for me.
[18:34] ---
Mi! Misaki! Look! Is that a dolphin?!
[18:37] ---
Huh? That's probably a tuna.
[18:40] ---
A tuna? I know that one!
I read about them in my book!
[18:43] ---
They're yummy fish that dissolve on your tongue!
[18:45] ---
What kind of books are you reading?
[18:57] ---
H-Hey...
[18:59] ---
Ow!
[19:06] ---
Doppel...
[19:08] ---
...ganger.
[19:09] ---
Is this a dream? Or is this a hallucination,
[19:12] ---
brought on by my own guilty feelings
as I cross the river Acheron--
[19:15] ---
It's a dream.
[19:19] ---
Is this my chance to apologize?
[19:21] ---
Apologize?
[19:23] ---
I didn't try to kill you out of resentment.
[19:27] ---
It was simply a requisite condition.
[19:30] ---
But then, maybe having requisite
conditions that include a tolerance
[19:33] ---
for the number of casualties
that accompany them is itself
[19:36] ---
a thought pattern that
I picked up because of you.
[19:40] ---
You knew that introducing
Indian Poker into the world
[19:44] ---
would bring about chaos, right?
[19:46] ---
All the same, you pushed forward,
with the goal of saving your mother.
[19:53] ---
You can't even separate
your own life from your objective.
[19:57] ---
You are the kind of person
[19:59] ---
who by your very nature can't
accomplish anything unless you do so.
[20:05] ---
But even if you are,
there's no need to deny yourself.
[20:10] ---
Not if it means becoming someone
[20:12] ---
who never creates anything
in return for never hurting anyone.
[20:17] ---
Because if you do,
[20:19] ---
it will be so dull to coexist with you.
[20:25] ---
Coexist?
[20:26] ---
So first off,
[20:28] ---
I took a run at touching up the
cyborg you completed for your mother,
[20:32] ---
and I found three points that should be fixed.
[20:35] ---
Huh?
[20:36] ---
--These designs are fine at first,
but there will be concerns after ten years.
--Huh? Huh? Huh?
[20:40] ---
--I have a better knack for simulations
than you do, you know. First off...
--Huh? Huh? Huh?
[20:44] ---
So, um...
[20:46] ---
...the Doppelganger came to you in your dream?
[20:49] ---
Yeah. It's the strangest thing.
[20:52] ---
I just swapped out a portion of my organs,
[20:55] ---
but that kind of phenomenon
shouldn't be happening.
[20:58] ---
So it's...
[20:59] ---
I thought it was my own guilt
causing me to hallucinate at first...
[21:07] ---
That matches perfectly
with the records from our fight.
[21:11] ---
Yeah, and what's more,
she went on and on finding fault
[21:15] ---
with a lot of the research
I've done up to this point...
[21:18] ---
So, um, what can we do to let you cross over?
[21:21] ---
Ha-ha! I have no soul, so I can't cross over.
[21:25] ---
I've finished bringing up those problems.
[21:27] ---
--Next, we'll spend all night on your dark past--
[21:29] ---
--S-Stop!
--Next, we'll spend all night on your dark past--
[21:31] ---
Honestly, I'm afraid to go to sleep.
[21:35] ---
Well, even so...
[21:38] ---
...it's kind of a relief.
[21:43] ---
I'm sorry.
[21:46] ---
I ended up dumping all of my
responsibilities onto you during all this.
[21:51] ---
Still,
[21:52] ---
normally, I might not be permitted
to say something like this,
[21:57] ---
but throughout all of the
Doppelganger's operational runtime,
[22:02] ---
her fight against you was the
only time she seemed to feel fulfilled.
[22:09] ---
Well, if you see her in your dreams again,
[22:13] ---
tell her that she was pretty formidable, too.
[22:19] ---
We have been waiting for you, Sissy.
[22:21] ---
How about we all go out again
and get something good to eat?
[22:25] ---
Ah, in that case, there's a café around here
[22:28] ---
--that's the scene of an urban legend...
[22:30] ---
--Saten!
--that's the scene of an urban legend...
[22:31] ---
You never learn, do you, Miss Saten?
[22:33] ---
I-I'm kidding!
[22:34] ---
Oh, no! You are always like this, Saten--
[22:36] ---
Anywhere is fine, as long as we're all together.
[22:44] ---
Okay, let's go!
[22:47] ---
[22:49] ---
