**[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?
