[00:19] ---
    "Three months earlier"
[00:23] ---
    Wow!
[00:25] ---
    After just two weeks,
    she's already gotten so big!
[00:29] ---
    Well, that's the ZID-02 and
    so forth, to stimulate her growth.
[00:35] ---
    But you've been through training, right?
[00:37] ---
    Then you should already
    be cognizant of this much.
[00:40] ---
    S-Sorry. Yes, I did know about it.
[00:44] ---
    But after seeing the real deal,
    I just got excited.
[00:48] ---
    Let's get started.
[00:49] ---
    R-Right!
[00:51] ---
    I'll go get ready right now.
[01:14] ---
    sister's noise, I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[01:18] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[01:21] ---
    Nobody can ruin the feelings
    we've built up together
[01:31] ---
    The oft-repeated truth is still distant
[01:38] ---
    while I am unable to sense your pain
[01:44] ---
    If the dreams you
    committed to me that day
[01:48] ---
    end up tearing me apart,
[01:51] ---
    don't ever let go of that hope
[01:54] ---
    more precious than anything else
[01:59] ---
    Though once closer to you than anyone else
    (sister's noise...)
[02:03] ---
    I cannot hear your voice
    (I find it out...)
[02:06] ---
    While the hands of time kept ticking away
[02:10] ---
    I was finally able to find you
[02:13] ---
    sister's noise, so I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[02:16] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[02:19] ---
    I promise to preserve the shared
    smiles we both felt
[02:25] ---
    Nobody can ruin them now
[02:34] ---
    The sun streaming through
    those leaves is so bright!
[02:37] ---
    I know I should
    be worried about sunburn,
[02:39] ---
    but it just doesn't feel like
    summer otherwise, you know?
[02:44] ---
    Ah, a cicada shell.
[02:46] ---
    I have never seen
    Sissy acting so gross.
[02:49] ---
    There's still some time
    before we're supposed to meet up.
[02:56] ---
    Kuroko!
[02:57] ---
    Oh, yes?
[02:59] ---
    What would you like?
[03:00] ---
    It's my treat!
[03:02] ---
    Wha--?
[03:03] ---
    The busted-down vending machine
    that she always spin-kicks?
[03:07] ---
    And what's more,
    she's paying for mine, too?
[03:09] ---
    Hmm?
[03:10] ---
    A-All right, an iced coffee, please.
[03:16] ---
    I-I am so sorry!
[03:19] ---
    By no means did I mean to
    dive headlong into your breasts,
[03:21] ---
    or do anything with
    an unclean conscience!
[03:25] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[03:27] ---
    You should be more careful.
[03:30] ---
    Now then, what should I get?
[03:33] ---
    S-Something is wrong!
[03:36] ---
    What has come over my fair Sissy?
    C-Could she be an impostor?
[03:42] ---
    All right, I'll get the coconut cider.
[03:47] ---
    Sissy, you are wearing orange
    polka-dotted underwear today
[03:50] ---
    with a winking Gekota-aaah!
[03:54] ---
    Where did that come from,
    out of nowhere?
[03:56] ---
    N-No, i-it is really you...
[03:59] ---
    Ah, there they are!
[04:01] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[04:03] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:05] ---
    She's golden brown...
[04:08] ---
    So, where should we start today?
[04:11] ---
    I've got a few things to
    buy for my regional field trip.
[04:17] ---
    Ah, come to mention it,
    it's not far off, huh?
[04:20] ---
    Miss Misaka, where are you all going?
[04:23] ---
    I think it was called "Liberal Arts City"--
[04:24] ---
    You mean, the artificial
    island in California?
[04:28] ---
    Uh, mm-hmm.
[04:29] ---
    That's the same as us!
[04:31] ---
    It is?
[04:32] ---
    Is that right?
    We're in the same group!
[04:35] ---
    Well, that means the five of us
    can have fun together there, too!
[04:37] ---
    We'll eat our meals together,
    and go shopping...
[04:40] ---
    Oh yeah, and there's the beach, too, huh?
[04:42] ---
    Wow, I'm starting to get excited about this!
[04:45] ---
    Maybe I'll get a new swimsuit!
[04:48] ---
    Then again, there are a lot
    of other things I need to buy first.
[04:53] ---
    If only I had those
    money cards at a time like this...
[04:57] ---
    Oh, come on, Miss Saten!
[04:58] ---
    I know! I was just kidding.
    Come to mention it,
[05:02] ---
    what's happened
    with the case since before?
[05:04] ---
    It has been so soon,
    of course nothing new has developed.
[05:08] ---
    Oh...
[05:09] ---
    You're a bit obsessed with it, huh?
[05:11] ---
    Hmm... I am kind of hooked on it.
[05:14] ---
    It's like there's a larger case
    hiding behind it, or something.
[05:17] ---
    Are you basing that on anything?
[05:20] ---
    Just my instincts as
    an urban legend hunter!
[05:22] ---
    You are starting
    with that again, are you?
[05:24] ---
    Again? What do you mean, again?!
[05:26] ---
    Such as what, for example?
[05:27] ---
    Is there really another case?
[05:29] ---
    No there isn't, Miss Haru'ue.
[05:31] ---
    This is another one of
    Miss Saten's typical jokes.
[05:32] ---
    Whoa--Uiharu?!
[05:34] ---
    Let's drop the subject,
    why don't we?
[05:38] ---
    Come on, let's go, everyone!
    Time's a-wasting!
[05:41] ---
    Huh? Sissy!
[05:47] ---
    Ah, all done!
[05:49] ---
    Is that all you're getting?
[05:50] ---
    Mm-hmm. I just wanted to buy
    more of something I was short on.
[05:53] ---
    What about the rest of you?
[05:55] ---
    Oh, well...
[05:57] ---
    A rice cooker?
[05:58] ---
    Yes. Ever since Miss Haru'ue
    became my roommate,
[06:01] ---
    we've started cooking for ourselves.
[06:03] ---
    Huh? But you have one, right?
[06:05] ---
    Of course we have one, but...
[06:07] ---
    Oh, now that you mention it,
    you said it was too small yesterday.
[06:11] ---
    Yes.
[06:12] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[06:14] ---
    Oh, I'm not blaming you,
    Miss Haru'ue! I eat a lot, too!
[06:18] ---
    Yeah, yeah! Uiharu
    can be quite the glutton!
[06:21] ---
    Miss Saten!
[06:22] ---
    Hey!
[06:24] ---
    How about this one?
[06:27] ---
    It looks pretty amazing.
[06:29] ---
    It sure does. Then again,
[06:32] ---
    it's not really in our budget.
[06:32] ---
    Yes, can't you come down a bit?
[06:34] ---
    You know, I'm just saying...
[06:36] ---
    How could I say no?
[06:37] ---
    Sissy...?
[06:43] ---
    Huh?
[06:45] ---
    Wow... We bought a really nice one!
[06:49] ---
    Who would have guessed that
    Miss Misaka had such bargaining power?
[06:53] ---
    We can start our dream life of
    cooking at home, Miss Haru'ue!
[06:57] ---
    We'll have yummy food!
[06:57] ---
    Wow...
[06:58] ---
    There sure are a lot of them, huh?
[07:00] ---
    Aren't there? This place
    has a huge assortment of things!
[07:05] ---
    W-What is this?
[07:08] ---
    But these would be just
    too cute! I couldn't eat them!
[07:14] ---
    J-Just kidding! Of course,
    that wouldn't be true!
[07:24] ---
    Well? Miss Haru'ue,
    do you see a swimsuit you like?
[07:29] ---
    Well, there are so
    many of them, I can't choose.
[07:32] ---
    I've never picked out a
    swimsuit for myself before.
[07:36] ---
    Well, I'll give you a hand!
[07:39] ---
    I'm opening up!
[07:41] ---
    Well?
[07:43] ---
    I think it might be a little too childish.
[07:46] ---
    You think so?
[07:47] ---
    Well...?
[07:49] ---
    This one is still a little childish.
[07:51] ---
    Huh? Really?
[07:53] ---
    Then try this one, next!
[07:54] ---
    Miss Misaka is a bit hyper today, huh?
[07:56] ---
    That one, too.
[07:57] ---
    Oh. Well, how about this one?
[07:58] ---
    You think so, too, Uiharu?
[08:00] ---
    Did she have something good
    happen to her, or anything?
[08:02] ---
    And this one?
[08:06] ---
    Isn't it nice that we got
    such a good one, Miss Haru'ue?
[08:09] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[08:10] ---
    Ah, come to think of it,
    this is where I saw "you," Misaka.
[08:15] ---
    Oh, you mean the look-alike?
    Are you still going on about that?
[08:20] ---
    I'm telling you, it really
    did look like you. She might be...
[08:24] ---
    There's a possibility that
    she's your doppelganger, Misaka!
[08:31] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[08:33] ---
    Speaking of look-alikes,
    I heard a rumor from Miss Konori.
[08:36] ---
    Something to do with using
    cloning technology to make Level 5s...
[08:42] ---
    I mean... um...
[08:46] ---
    Clones, huh?
[08:48] ---
    As far as Academy City
    rumors go, that one is right up there.
[08:52] ---
    If I had my own clone...
[08:56] ---
    Miss Saten, what would you do?
[08:58] ---
    If it were me... Let's see...
[09:02] ---
    I think I'd split my summer
    vacation homework with her.
[09:05] ---
    If I left mine in our room,
    I could fool the head resident.
[09:09] ---
    I could eat enough for two people.
[09:12] ---
    That's a great idea! If you
    ever can't choose from a menu,
[09:15] ---
    you could get two things!
[09:17] ---
    No, no, both of you
    could only eat half a serving.
[09:21] ---
    She's right.
[09:22] ---
    Oh, yeah...
[09:24] ---
    What would you do, Sissy...
[09:27] ---
    ...if a clone of yourself were to show up?
[09:37] ---
    Good question...
[09:46] ---
    She looks like a real person.
[09:49] ---
    Well, sure she does.
[09:51] ---
    She's a clone,
    who was made to look that way.
[10:05] ---
    As you can see, in her condition,
    her mental age is that of a newborn.
[10:09] ---
    She can't understand language,
    nor can she even walk by herself.
[10:16] ---
    What are you doing?
[10:17] ---
    Huh? Oh, I was thinking,
    she might catch a cold like this.
[10:22] ---
    You won't have time to worry
    about that for much longer.
[10:25] ---
    Word is we're creating
    the rest of them in one batch.
[10:31] ---
    Language, motor skills,
    and ethical data
[10:35] ---
    are input like this using
    Testament, whereby the data
[10:38] ---
    is transmitted electrically
    via all five senses,
[10:40] ---
    forcibly writing itself into her brain.
[10:43] ---
    Are you keeping up so far?
[10:46] ---
    Um, about what you said earlier...
[10:48] ---
    What?
[10:49] ---
    Isn't this inefficient?
    Without repeated conditioning,
[10:53] ---
    it's not going to take that well, is it?
[10:55] ---
    Shouldn't they make them
    in series, according to usage?
[10:58] ---
    The higher-ups have
    their own way of thinking.
[11:01] ---
    All we can do is proceed
    according to their orders.
[11:09] ---
    Aw, is the day over already?
[11:12] ---
    At this rate, summer vacation
    will be over all too soon.
[11:15] ---
    Out in the world,
    it's Obon festival time, huh?
[11:18] ---
    Oh, yeah. It's that time of year, is it?
[11:21] ---
    Here in Academy City,
    it doesn't really feel like it, huh?
[11:24] ---
    Barely anyone goes back home for it.
[11:27] ---
    It's nice, though, isn't it?
    As a result, we can all be together.
[11:30] ---
    Yes, you're right.
[11:31] ---
    Let's enjoy ourselves. There is still...
[11:36] ---
    "#4 Sisters"
[11:36] ---
    ...plenty of summer ahead of us.
[11:41] ---
    Breakfast, at this hour?
[11:43] ---
    Well aren't you
    living the good life, Misaka.
[11:46] ---
    Why not? I don't have
    anything to do today, after all.
[11:49] ---
    What are Shirai and the others up to?
[11:52] ---
    Kuroko and Miss Uiharu
[11:53] ---
    have been roped into a
    Judgment summer recruiting function.
[11:57] ---
    Miss Saten and the
    others said they had plans.
[11:59] ---
    If you've got this much
    free time on your hands,
[12:02] ---
    you've got quite the
    lonesome adolescence, huh?
[12:04] ---
    Who asked you?
[12:06] ---
    It doesn't matter to me,
    just hurry up and eat.
[12:09] ---
    Otherwise, I'll never be able
    to get everything straightened up.
[12:12] ---
    Huh? At least let me eat at my leisure.
[12:15] ---
    Do you really not have anything to do?
[12:20] ---
    Anything to do, huh?
[12:25] ---
    H-How come...?
[12:31] ---
    Ugh... Nothing's worse
    than the letdown you get
[12:34] ---
    when you're poised
    to browse your magazine,
[12:36] ---
    but it's the same double issue
    from the week before.
[12:39] ---
    Aw, I've got nothing to do.
[12:41] ---
    Really?
[12:46] ---
    W-What?
[12:48] ---
    Y-You're that girl who was
    looking for your bag that one time.
[12:54] ---
    If you've got time,
    come and play with us!
[12:58] ---
    N-No, I'm kind of busy...
[13:01] ---
    You fibber! You just said
    you had nothing to do!
[13:03] ---
    Yep!
[13:10] ---
    What choice do I have, huh?
    Okay, Big Sister will hang out with you.
[13:14] ---
    Hooray!
[13:15] ---
    Ha! "Big Sister," she says!
[13:17] ---
    You said it.
[13:18] ---
    What should we play?
[13:18] ---
    She's at the age where she
    thinks she's a grown-up.
[13:19] ---
    Yeah, what should we do?
[13:21] ---
    Good question...
[13:24] ---
    Wait up!
[13:25] ---
    Give your elders their due!
[13:29] ---
    Rats! She got us again!
[13:32] ---
    Go on, hurry and get away!
[13:33] ---
    You can't go kicking it that far!
[13:35] ---
    Do you always go all-out
    against grade-schoolers?!
[13:38] ---
    Oh? But I'm a child,
    just like you guys, right?
[13:42] ---
    You goony devil! You subhuman!
[13:45] ---
    Sticks and stones--
[13:46] ---
    Shorts-wearing tramp!
[13:49] ---
    What did you call me, you little brat?!
[13:54] ---
    Is this the mouth that
    that smart-talk came out of?
[13:57] ---
    Cut it out, tramp!
[14:01] ---
    Someday, I'll become a Level 5,
    and then I'll get back at you!
[14:05] ---
    I'll take you on whenever you like.
[14:07] ---
    Hey...
[14:09] ---
    Big Sister, you're a
    bigshot electrical user, right?
[14:13] ---
    I guess.
[14:14] ---
    Then you're the same as Nao, huh?
[14:17] ---
    Is that right?
[14:18] ---
    Mm-hmm. But...
[14:25] ---
    Try as I might,
    that's about all I can do.
[14:28] ---
    That's true of
    everyone at the beginning.
[14:30] ---
    After you practice,
    you'll be able to do all sorts of things.
[14:33] ---
    Then will Nao be able to
    cellphone with you, Big Sister?
[14:37] ---
    "Cellphone"?
[14:38] ---
    Use electricity to talk to each other.
[14:40] ---
    Oh, no, no.
[14:42] ---
    Far from talking to them, I can't
    even tell where the person is.
[14:46] ---
    Oh, yeah?
[14:51] ---
    If there's no interference,
[14:53] ---
    like if we were at sea,
    it might be possible...
[14:58] ---
    ...but here in the city, where EM
    waves are flying around all over,
[15:01] ---
    there's just too much noise.
[15:04] ---
    Hmm? Oh...
[15:07] ---
    Then again, there are
    the cases of the Level Uppers,
[15:10] ---
    and as long as the brainwaves'
    waveforms are close,
[15:13] ---
    they might be able to
    construct a network... but then...
[15:17] ---
    ...like that will ever happen.
[15:23] ---
    Hello.
[15:24] ---
    Do you understand what that means?
[15:26] ---
    "The instigation of daily conversation,
[15:29] ---
    otherwise called
    a greeting," affirms Misaka.
[15:33] ---
    What is your specimen number?
[15:35] ---
    Number 9982.
[15:38] ---
    You are plugged right
    into the Misaka Net, all right.
[15:41] ---
    Let's start by putting this on.
[15:48] ---
    U-Um...
[15:50] ---
    Parading around so openly like this
[15:52] ---
    is starting to
    make me uncomfortable.
[15:55] ---
    Oh?
[15:56] ---
    Couldn't we maybe add a
    little bit of a sense of shame?
[16:00] ---
    If we add any unnecessary emotions,
[16:02] ---
    and they start rebelling,
    that becomes a problem.
[16:05] ---
    The "safety devices"
    aren't exactly perfect, after all.
[16:08] ---
    Is... that right...?
[16:10] ---
    Yeah. And we don't have the skills
    it takes to add emotions anyhow.
[16:15] ---
    Take this machine--
[16:17] ---
    It was overseen by
    Nuno-something-or-other, the girl genius,
[16:20] ---
    and she just barely
    managed to get it functioning.
[16:23] ---
    Oh...
[16:32] ---
    Children sure have energy.
[16:34] ---
    I'm starting to get sweaty.
[16:40] ---
    Young lady!
[16:41] ---
    From whom did you get that badge?!
[16:44] ---
    Huh? From the vending
    machines in the shopping district.
[16:54] ---
    It's the turn the knob to
    drop the capsule type, huh?
[16:58] ---
    It's far too analog for
    my abilities to come into play.
[17:02] ---
    But even so...!
[17:16] ---
    Look at that.
[17:17] ---
    A girl from Tokiwadai is playing
    those vending machines.
[17:19] ---
    You're right. I'm sure she must
    be buying them for those children.
[17:22] ---
    I haven't gotten a single one...
[17:25] ---
    Sorry, but can you get me some change?
[17:27] ---
    Huh? Why me...!?
[17:30] ---
    Don't defy her.
    She has a scary look in her eye.
[17:33] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[17:39] ---
    There wasn't a single one, huh?
[17:42] ---
    Um... If you want to, I'll trade--
[17:45] ---
    Oh, yeah! There are
    more in front of the train station!
[18:00] ---
    Good for you!
[18:01] ---
    Thank you!
[18:03] ---
    Thank goodness.
    Really, thank goodness.
[18:06] ---
    I'll go get some bags or something.
[18:08] ---
    Oh, me too!
[18:09] ---
    Well, now that I've finally gotten it...
[18:13] ---
    What am I going to use this for?
[18:16] ---
    Have you ever gotten
    that collector's fever,
[18:18] ---
    where you want to obtain
    every tie-in product there is
[18:21] ---
    for some product you like,
    and go out of control,
[18:23] ---
    not considering the consequences?
[18:26] ---
    Even I know that attaching
    it to my clothing, like this girl,
[18:29] ---
    is out of the question.
    For that matter,
[18:32] ---
    I can just imagine the pitiful
    look that Kuroko will give me
[18:35] ---
    when she sees this.
[18:37] ---
    Again?
[18:38] ---
    Yeah, but on a bag,
    it's just barely... cool? Cool, right?
[18:42] ---
    Ah! Look at the time!
[18:44] ---
    We have to go home now.
[18:49] ---
    My whole day...
[18:55] ---
    Hey, if you go under the water,
[18:57] ---
    how long can you hold your breath?
[18:58] ---
    We played all day today!
[18:59] ---
    I can go for one minute!
[19:00] ---
    Just because it's summer vacation,
[19:00] ---
    Huh? Really?! A whole minute?!
[19:02] ---
    you can't just play around
[19:04] ---
    You have to do your homework, too--
[19:12] ---
    What's the matter, Big Sister?
[19:17] ---
    Oh, mm-mm, nothing at all.
[19:20] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[19:22] ---
    "Boarding"
[19:26] ---
    Well, goodbye, Big Sister.
[19:27] ---
    Thanks for playing today.
[19:29] ---
    Sure, sure.
[19:30] ---
    Be careful going home, now.
[19:32] ---
    Right!
[19:42] ---
    What was that sensation earlier?
[19:46] ---
    A power very similar to mine... no,
[19:49] ---
    it was like my
    very own power was emitted,
[19:51] ---
    and washed over me from the outside in...
[19:56] ---
    It's not possible!
[19:59] ---
    It's not possible... but...
[20:02] ---
    ...but...!
[20:07] ---
    Let's see...
[20:14] ---
    Hmm... that looks about right.
[20:19] ---
    And now...
[20:27] ---
    Muscle strength, stamina, and
    cardiovascular capacity check out.
[20:33] ---
    Now, if you pass your
    interpersonal response test,
[20:36] ---
    you can move on to your external training.
[20:39] ---
    Misaka already mastered how
    to order a hamburger
[20:42] ---
    through how to turn down a con man.
[20:45] ---
    She is confident that she
    can blend in with outside people,
[20:49] ---
    so she has some concern
    about the necessity of such a test.
[20:52] ---
    There are times on the outside
[20:54] ---
    when what you learned
    using Testament will not work.
[20:58] ---
    Besides, the chances of
    you running into the Original
[21:01] ---
    are greater than zero.
[21:03] ---
    Well, even so, it should
    not interfere with the experiment.
[21:08] ---
    What is the Original?
[21:11] ---
    Good question.
[21:12] ---
    She's the model for the Sisters.
    If I had to say,
[21:16] ---
    she's kind of like your "older sister."
[21:20] ---
    Older sister...
[21:28] ---
    I know it came from around here...
[21:54] ---
    Y-You're...
[22:09] ---
    While looking up
    into an unfamiliar sky,
[22:15] ---
    always, always walking with you
[22:20] ---
    I was searching for
    the future I thought I saw,
[22:27] ---
    so unlike the one up until a day ago
[22:33] ---
    When you touched my heart,
    convinced by my blurred vision,
[22:41] ---
    that I was wandering
[22:45] ---
    everything started changing
[22:49] ---
    After counting clouds until I grew
    bored of it, they drifted far away again
[22:55] ---
    I went after them, and found
    my dreams for tomorrow
[23:01] ---
    Assured that it's now or never,
    your feelings get through to me
[23:07] ---
    and someday, I'm sure,
    I'll offer mine, too
[23:13] ---
    Like the clouds, gently, gently,
[23:19] ---
    moving forever, forever forward
[23:26] ---
    Hmm... Now for your clothing.
[23:30] ---
    You've been provided
    with a set, so put them on.
[23:33] ---
    Oh, uh, before you do,
[23:36] ---
    would you mind cleaning those up,
[23:40] ---
    before the next experiment starts?
[23:45] ---
    Acknowledged.
[23:47] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:48] ---
    What is this? The same face? The same hair?
[23:48] ---
    "#5 Project Level 6 Shift"
[23:51] ---
    She looks the same as me from A to Z!
[23:53] ---
    Just who are you?!
[23:54] ---
    Sissy? What are you doing in
    front of that full-length mirror?
