[00:01] ---
    Besides...
[00:05] ---
    ...you are not the only one...
[00:07] ---
    ...who is having trouble
    controlling their anger...
[00:10] ---
    ...at having one of
    their friends being insulted.
[00:16] ---
    Anger at having your friend insulted?
[00:19] ---
    Is psychological dependence on
    others becoming a trend or something?
[00:30] ---
    You try to look like a hero,
    doing something for someone else,
[00:32] ---
    but when you find yourself stuck
    in a situation you can't get out of,
[00:36] ---
    you just blame it on them and wish you hadn't.
[00:40] ---
    It looks like people
    with no sense of imagination
[00:43] ---
    can't understand that unless
    they experience it for themselves.
[00:51] ---
    Water?
[01:00] ---
    I've always heard that
    unconscious people were heavy, but...
[01:04] ---
    She's gotten lighter...?
[01:06] ---
    Is this your ability, Awatsuki?
[01:09] ---
    It won't last very long.
[01:11] ---
    Please hurry off, while you have the chance.
[01:13] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[01:16] ---
    Whoa, there!
[01:17] ---
    Do you think I'm just going
    to let you walk away from this?
[01:23] ---
    Whoo!
[01:26] ---
    If that's all you've got,
    my Great Dane Types can leap over them!
[01:41] ---
    The only lead I have...!
[01:44] ---
    Yeah, right.
[01:46] ---
    Even after injecting its nanodevice,
[01:49] ---
    the Mosquito Type can still come
    in handy for its GPS transmitter.
[01:52] ---
    As long as I have her trail,
    I can do whatever I have to once I finish here.
[01:56] ---
    But for right now...
[01:59] ---
    ...I'll have to take care of these two.
[02:18] ---
    "A Certain Magical Railgun T"
[03:38] ---
    I need to call an ambulance and Antiskill.
[03:41] ---
    I hope Wannai and Awatsuki are all right.
[03:51] ---
    Yes?
[03:51] ---
    Well, Baba? Is everything moving along smoothly?
[03:54] ---
    Yes, without a hitch.
[03:59] ---
    Great Dane Types, you've gotta get in there!
[04:02] ---
    What's this, now?
[04:03] ---
    Baba, are you in the middle of a fight?
[04:05] ---
    It just sort of happened.
    So this might take a little more time.
[04:09] ---
    Are you okay? Should I send in reinforcements?
[04:12] ---
    No, there's no need.
[04:14] ---
    You sure?
[04:15] ---
    I'm so worried about you,
    I can't do anything else.
[04:19] ---
    She's such a liar.
[04:20] ---
    Okay, how about I just retrieve your leads?
[04:24] ---
    Unfortunately, I still don't
    have any helpful intel yet.
[04:28] ---
    So tweak the data to delay
    Antiskill's arrival, if you would.
[04:32] ---
    You idiot. You think I'm going
    to let you steal all my credit?
[04:36] ---
    Now, those two didn't
    compete in the Balloon Hunter,
[04:40] ---
    so I haven't checked out their abilities,
[04:43] ---
    but the chestnut-haired
    one's ability is Hydro Hand.
[04:45] ---
    If the Great Dane Types get drawn into
    the water, even they could be in danger,
[04:49] ---
    but she's not so strong that she can
    land a fatal blow while fighting on land.
[04:55] ---
    The braided-hair one uses telekinesis, is it?
[04:59] ---
    But seeing as how she
    can't pin down a Great Dane Type,
[05:03] ---
    she doesn't have all that much power.
[05:07] ---
    Their abilities put them both around Level 3.
[05:09] ---
    I doubt they've had much combat experience,
[05:12] ---
    but they seem to be making
    do pretty well by attacking in sync.
[05:15] ---
    I have a limited number of pawns to use, myself.
[05:21] ---
    Wow, not too shabby at all.
[05:25] ---
    I am looking for Misaka Mikoto's Sis--
    er, her twin, you see.
[05:31] ---
    You there, with the chestnut hair--
[05:33] ---
    you called that girl earlier
    Kongo Mitsuko, right?
[05:36] ---
    You were discussing something
    about a lead on her sister, weren't you?
[05:39] ---
    Would you mind telling me what that lead is?
[05:43] ---
    I'm not asking you to give it
    to me for free, of course.
[05:46] ---
    There is a nanodevice inside here.
[05:49] ---
    A real high-caliber model,
    which can immobilize whoever it's used on.
[05:53] ---
    I injected one of these
    into Kongo Mitsuko earlier.
[05:56] ---
    It's the truth. Using a mosquito-shaped
    robot, with just a little "pfft."
[06:01] ---
    When I touched Miss Kongo,
    she had a pretty high fever.
[06:05] ---
    I think there's probably at least
    some truth to what he is saying.
[06:08] ---
    It's tricky to remove a
    nanodevice once it's been injected.
[06:12] ---
    But if you had this, you may be
    able to find a shutdown command.
[06:17] ---
    Would you like to exchange
    your information for it?
[06:20] ---
    You want to help your friend, don't you?
[06:25] ---
    We cannot tell what it is to someone like you.
[06:29] ---
    However, we will be taking that nanodevice.
[06:32] ---
    --Even if we have to take it by force!
    --Even if we have to take it by force!
[06:36] ---
    Well, well, negotiations
    have broken down. Oh, well...
[06:41] ---
    One of these two has already
    been used and is empty.
[06:45] ---
    The other one has the nanodevice inside it.
[06:50] ---
    Which one is the right one?
[06:52] ---
    Miss Awatsuki!
[06:53] ---
    Right!
[06:59] ---
    They know it's a trap, and still they split up.
[07:01] ---
    These girls are a couple of pushovers.
[07:05] ---
    Stop right there! Where are you--?
[07:09] ---
    Come on, now! You have
    to start chasing me, or I'll get away!
[07:18] ---
    In the Balloon Sandwich,
[07:19] ---
    "Daihasei Festival News"
[07:20] ---
    it looks like Miss Kongo and
    Miss Misaka competed together.
[07:23] ---
    I wonder if those two are good friends.
[07:27] ---
    Railgun...
[07:31] ---
    Whenever I think about that girl,
[07:33] ---
    I get an uneasy feeling across my chest!
[07:36] ---
    I do not even want to think about that
    conceited girl, who is just a pretty face!
[07:42] ---
    If you're that mindful of her, then
    that must have been one fateful encounter.
[07:48] ---
    The two of you may make
    a surprisingly good pair.
[07:51] ---
    Huh? M-Me, and that girl?!
    There is absolutely no way!
[07:58] ---
    Oh...? Ah, just a moment, please!
[08:02] ---
    I will be fine on my own now!
[08:04] ---
    Let us split up now
    and start patrolling separately!
[08:10] ---
    That sure was a long line to get a taxi.
[08:13] ---
    The place is packed with
    spectators wherever you go.
[08:16] ---
    Let's just wait for the next bus.
[08:18] ---
    I can't leave all of this in Miss Kongo's lap.
    I have to get out of here...
[08:23] ---
    Huh? I wonder what that's about.
[08:25] ---
    I hear there has been an
    upswing in cases of heatstroke.
[08:29] ---
    We should be careful, as well.
[08:31] ---
    Hydration and electrolytes are key.
[08:34] ---
    Is that...?
[08:36] ---
    Miss Saten!
[08:37] ---
    --Miss Misaka, wait up!
    --Ah, um, Miss Misaka...?
[08:41] ---
    What happened?
[08:42] ---
    Why are you in an ambulance--
[08:49] ---
    Stop right there!
[08:56] ---
    Huh... Even away from the pond,
    she can control a decent amount of water.
[09:03] ---
    The Great Dane Type that took
    in the water chestnut-hair controlled
[09:06] ---
    was destroyed from the inside.
[09:08] ---
    I guess that once the water
    is under her command,
[09:11] ---
    she can control it without even seeing it.
[09:13] ---
    I pretty much have her analyzed.
[09:16] ---
    For one thing, there's an upper limit
    to the weight and effective range
[09:19] ---
    that those with powers like hers can control,
    depending on their power level.
[09:23] ---
    If I get her far enough away from the pond,
[09:25] ---
    she can no longer replenish her water supply.
[09:28] ---
    Then, once I pretend to leave myself
    open within her effective range...
[09:38] ---
    What a shame.
[09:40] ---
    Sure enough, she loses control
    over water that becomes detached.
[09:44] ---
    One other limitation
    that espers with Hydro Hand have
[09:47] ---
    is the count of the water
    that they can control at once!
[09:59] ---
    Physical attacks against water
    may look futile at first glance,
[10:02] ---
    but every time she deflects,
    her watery armor gets ablated away.
[10:07] ---
    I think I'll watch and enjoy as this young girl,
[10:09] ---
    who only knows how to fight head-on,
    is overcome with despair!
[10:15] ---
    "Critical Care Center"
[10:19] ---
    When I got to the park,
    Kongo was lying on the ground,
[10:22] ---
    and Wannai and Awatsuki confronted
    an icky guy who was controlling robot dogs.
[10:29] ---
    This is my fault.
[10:31] ---
    I was naive.
[10:33] ---
    I thought it was an extension
    of the usual rivalry between cliques.
[10:37] ---
    I thought she was just messing
    with me because she doesn't like me.
[10:41] ---
    I thought that not even she would do anything
[10:44] ---
    to hurt someone who went to the same school.
[10:50] ---
    We're ready. Those of you who
    are her friends, please wait over here.
[10:54] ---
    Oh, sure.
[10:56] ---
    Huh...?
[11:00] ---
    Um, Miss Misaka?
[11:03] ---
    Something appears to have happened here--
[11:05] ---
    Move.
[11:06] ---
    We need to wait for other
    members of the clique to arrive--
[11:09] ---
    Move.
[11:12] ---
    Unless you're prepared
    to kill me to stop me, then move.
[11:27] ---
    "#6 The Battle Begins"
[11:28] ---
    Miss Misaka...
[11:43] ---
    By my reckoning,
[11:45] ---
    you should have run out of water
    with two of them still remaining.
[11:49] ---
    I'm impressed that you beat them all,
    even if you did use up your water.
[11:52] ---
    But you have no more water to protect
    yourself with. Now what will you do?
[11:56] ---
    As part of my studies as a Tokiwadai student,
[11:59] ---
    I have learned a few self-defense techniques.
[12:02] ---
    If you are unarmed, then I will take
    you on without my abilities, too!
[12:06] ---
    Heh, how courageous of you.
[12:09] ---
    But I dislike the barbarity of duking it out.
[12:16] ---
    Instead, I'll put these reserve forces
    I'd been saving to work.
[12:22] ---
    It's basic strategy to always have
    a move ready to make in any situation.
[12:29] ---
    It's not getting clean away,
[12:31] ---
    but it's also maintaining a
    certain distance from me as it runs.
[12:34] ---
    It's trying to buy time by
    keeping me separated from Miss Wannai.
[12:38] ---
    I have to hurry.
[12:42] ---
    This should work.
[13:04] ---
    That was a successful shortcut.
[13:07] ---
    This is all...
[13:08] ---
    the aftermath of where
    Miss Kongo used her ability.
[13:11] ---
    I did a complete lap without even realizing it.
[13:19] ---
    You know what?
[13:21] ---
    I'm actually surprisingly strong.
[13:25] ---
    Or am I?
[13:28] ---
    If you had any water left,
[13:30] ---
    I'm guessing this line
    would be the limit of your range.
[13:36] ---
    When you're someone as
    exceptionally perceptive as I am,
[13:39] ---
    it isn't too hard to figure out
    that your effective range is 18 meters.
[13:44] ---
    And that's not all.
[13:46] ---
    I can tell that the maximum volume
    you can control is 300 liters,
[13:49] ---
    and that the number of streams of
    water you can control at once is three.
[13:55] ---
    So what will you do now?
    Fight me hand to hand and go out a hero?
[13:58] ---
    Bow down and beg for your life?
[14:00] ---
    Or here, under these clear skies,
    pray to God for a sudden cloudburst?
[14:07] ---
    It's hopeless. The only option
    you have is to curse yourself
[14:10] ---
    for thoughtlessly sticking your neck
    out where it doesn't belong.
[14:14] ---
    You're going to meet
    the same fate as your friend.
[14:18] ---
    Rain...
[14:19] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    Have you noticed?
[14:22] ---
    This park has a network
    of drains buried underneath it,
[14:26] ---
    so that when it rains heavily,
    the water will flow into the pond.
[14:30] ---
    Huh?
[14:30] ---
    Your finesse in analyzing
    my ability was quite skillful,
[14:35] ---
    but you should have paid more
    attention to things you can't see, too!
[14:45] ---
    W-Water?! Where is it coming from?!
[14:48] ---
    Is that a water drain?!
[14:51] ---
    Don't tell me she had that water
    hidden down there all the way from the pond!
[14:55] ---
    My limit for controlling
    water streams is fourat once.
[14:59] ---
    Always having a move ready
    to make in any situation--
[15:03] ---
    even I'm crafty enough to know that.
[15:06] ---
    My fingers! They're doing nothing! I'm drowning!
[15:09] ---
    If this keeps up, I'm gonna drown!
[15:11] ---
    Great Dane Types, suck up this water!
    Suck up all this water!
[15:28] ---
    O-Oh, crap!
[15:30] ---
    Is that all of your robots, then?
[15:34] ---
    This is bad! This is bad!
    This is bad! This is bad!
[15:36] ---
    I have zero Great Dane Types left!
[15:38] ---
    There's no other choice!
[15:40] ---
    It means using the last one of
    these that I got from the Doctor, but...
[15:44] ---
    Do you give up yet?
[15:47] ---
    I said I didn't like duking it out,
[15:50] ---
    but that doesn't mean
    I'm not good at it, either.
[15:53] ---
    I've been trained in specialized
    assassin skills since I was a child.
[15:56] ---
    Family situation, you see.
[15:58] ---
    These are taboo moves whose use is forbidden,
[16:01] ---
    but I see no other choice but to use them
    against someone as strong as you.
[16:05] ---
    I'll bluff my way through keeping her attention,
[16:07] ---
    and use the Mosquito Type
    to inject her with a nanodevice!
[16:11] ---
    Almost there...! Almost there...!
[16:14] ---
    It dropped?!
[16:15] ---
    A dead battery? Impossible! I just activated it!
[16:19] ---
    No, but wait, the way it's moving...
[16:21] ---
    It looks like you're safe.
[16:23] ---
    Miss Awatsuki!
[16:25] ---
    The case I went after was empty,
[16:28] ---
    and I figured that if you got the upper hand,
[16:30] ---
    he would use his nanodevice on you,
[16:33] ---
    so I reduced the buoyancy force
    around you down to zero.
[16:36] ---
    It looks like that was the right decision.
[16:37] ---
    Buoyancy? The braided-hair
    girl's ability isn't telekinesis?
[16:41] ---
    It's buoyancy manipulation?!
[16:44] ---
    H-Hold on a minute!
[16:46] ---
    Are you two espers planning
    to both hit an unarmed man?!
[16:49] ---
    I-I was just hired to do a job!
[16:51] ---
    The Mosquito Type with the
    nanodevice is lying right over there!
[16:56] ---
    Sure, I may have been
    a little too rough on your friend,
[16:58] ---
    but can we just agree
    to call it quits for today--
[17:03] ---
    If I may be presumptuous enough to say so,
[17:06] ---
    the reason you disdain the trust and
    connections people have for each other
[17:10] ---
    is because you don't have
    anyone worthy of your trust.
[17:13] ---
    But that is a result of
    you looking down on others
[17:16] ---
    and not letting anyone else in.
[17:19] ---
    Unless you acknowledge the people you know
[17:21] ---
    and show that you are willing
    to meet them halfway,
[17:24] ---
    no one is ever going to help you.
[17:34] ---
    There I go, a novice, sounding
    like she knows what she is saying.
[17:37] ---
    No, I think it was something that
    had to be said, for his sake, as well.
[17:44] ---
    I hope he takes advantage of
    the opportunity to rethink his ways.
[17:53] ---
    Damn them!
[17:55] ---
    Damn those girls!
    They looked down their noses at me!
[18:03] ---
    It's intel, all right.
[18:05] ---
    If I'd only known what
    their abilities were from the start,
[18:08] ---
    there was no way I could
    have been beaten by them!
[18:12] ---
    Mantis Type!
[18:14] ---
    I was reluctant to use you, since you stand out,
[18:16] ---
    but your power is in a whole other league
[18:19] ---
    from those Great Dane Types meant for searching!
[18:21] ---
    Now that I know the specs of
    their abilities, I can't possibly lose!
[18:26] ---
    Go, Mantis Type!
[18:33] ---
    For the humiliation they put me through,
    merely killing them isn't good enough!
[18:37] ---
    I'll tear them up, then capture them!
[18:39] ---
    I'll make them sorry they were ever born female!
[18:42] ---
    I'll stream their indignity
    to the world over the Internet,
[18:45] ---
    and not only shatter them
    both mentally and physically;
[18:48] ---
    I'll destroy them socially, as well!
[18:50] ---
    They'll beg me in tears, "Please kill me"--
[18:55] ---
    The GPS signal from the Mosquito Type
    I affixed to Kongo Mitsuko?
[18:59] ---
    What's it doing here? If it keeps
    going that direction, then pretty soon...
[19:08] ---
    Wh-Why?!
[19:12] ---
    Why is Misaka Mikoto here?!
[19:18] ---
    Impossible!
[19:19] ---
    She shouldn't be able to move,
    thanks to the nanodevice injected into her!
[19:23] ---
    So that's it! She just looks like Misaka Mikoto!
[19:26] ---
    That's one of the Sisters!
[19:29] ---
    I'm in luck! As long as I capture her,
    I'll redeem myself!
[19:33] ---
    I can deal with those
    other girls afterward! Mantis Type,
[19:37] ---
    seize that girl!
[19:55] ---
    It's...
[19:57] ---
    It's really her...?
[20:00] ---
    S-Stay back!
[20:24] ---
    You can hear me, right?
[20:26] ---
    I avoided the communications system
    when I smashed this thing.
[20:29] ---
    I pinpointed your location
    by following your comm signal.
[20:36] ---
    I-It won't open! Don't tell me she's
    already taken over all the systems!
[20:42] ---
    I'll be there shortly to do
    the same thing to you as I did to this.
[20:48] ---
    At least I'd like to,
[20:50] ---
    but taking into account that you
    might be under that girl's control,
[20:53] ---
    I'm going to let you off
    this one time. However...
[20:57] ---
    ...from here on, if I ever see one of these,
[21:01] ---
    or one goes near one of my friends,
[21:04] ---
    even for an instant,
[21:07] ---
    then no matter where you are,
    I swear I will find you...
[21:13] ---
    ...and crush you.
[21:20] ---
    Uh-oh...
[21:21] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:22] ---
    Oh, man. Baba is out of the picture.
[21:26] ---
    Out of the picture?
[21:27] ---
    All of his mechanical pawns are wiped out.
[21:29] ---
