"Solar Year 198"
**[00:04] ---**
"Tokyo, Kita-ku"
**[00:24] ---**
"Fire Force"
**[00:32] ---**
Next stop, Tabata. Tabata.
Today's Amaterasu operational rate is normal.
**[00:38] ---**
We are running according to schedule.
**[00:46] ---**
Attention all commuters at this station!
**[00:49] ---**
The train traveling between
Komagome and Tabata...
**[00:55] ---**
--A fire has broken out
on the train running...
**[00:56] ---**
--That's a huge fire.
--A fire has broken out on the train running...
**[01:00] ---**
I heard it was an Infernal.
**[01:01] ---**
Another fire?
**[01:25] ---**
You must be in pain.
**[01:30] ---**
I'll put you out of your misery now.
**[01:31] ---**
SFF!
**[01:35] ---**
All civilians, please get back!
This area is dangerous!
**[01:39] ---**
You, too. Don't stand around here,
step back, now.
**[01:43] ---**
Huh? Aren't you...?
**[01:45] ---**
Lieutenant! What are you doing?!
**[01:47] ---**
Oh, excuse me.
**[01:51] ---**
0810. Let's put this Infernal to rest.
**[01:55] ---**
--Roger!
--Roger!
**[01:57] ---**
Sister, please begin the prayer.
**[02:00] ---**
Right.
**[02:03] ---**
Flame is the breath of the soul.
**[02:05] ---**
--Firing special fire extinguishing shell!
--Black smoke is the liberation of the soul.
**[02:13] ---**
Readying core-annihilating pile bunker!
**[02:26] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[02:28] ---**
May thy soul...
**[02:32] ---**
...return to the great flame of fire.
**[02:40] ---**
*Látom*.
**[02:41] ---**
*Látom*.
**[02:44] ---**
Awesome. This is it!
**[03:08] ---**
Sister, are you hurt?
**[03:10] ---**
N-No.
**[03:12] ---**
Sister!
**[03:15] ---**
Are you...?
**[03:16] ---**
Yes! Forgive the late introduction.
**[03:20] ---**
I'm newly-assigned member of
Special Fire Force Company 8, as of today,
**[03:25] ---**
third-generation Fire Soldier,
Shinra Kusakabe.
**[03:28] ---**
"Episode 1:
Shinra Kusakabe Enlists"
**[03:38] ---**
So these are the Devil's Footprints
I've heard about.
**[05:21] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8"
**[05:26] ---**
The newly-formed unit
isn't in a modern facility?
**[05:31] ---**
What a dump.
**[05:33] ---**
Shinra, come in.
**[05:35] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[05:52] ---**
You think it's a dump?
**[05:53] ---**
N-No!
**[05:58] ---**
Reporting in!
**[05:59] ---**
Oh, you're here.
**[06:01] ---**
I'm captain of Special Fire Force
Company 8, Akitaru Obi.
**[06:07] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, Captain's Office"
**[06:08] ---**
Please stop training when you're
introducing yourself, at least.
**[06:12] ---**
Oh, right.
**[06:14] ---**
Takehisa Hinawa, lieutenant
of the ramshackle 8th.
**[06:21] ---**
So, Shinra...
**[06:23] ---**
"Shinra"
**[06:24] ---**
About this résumé photo--
why are you smiling in it?
**[06:28] ---**
Sir! I'm sorry about that.
When I get nervous, and my face tightens up,
**[06:33] ---**
I seem to have a tendency to smile.
**[06:35] ---**
Huh?
**[06:36] ---**
Uh, that is... I smile whenever
I feel tense. My whole face--
**[06:58] ---**
Sorry, sorry. You're just so adorable.
**[07:02] ---**
So it must create a lot of
misunderstandings, huh?
**[07:05] ---**
Yes, sir! It's not that I'm
making light of anyone.
**[07:11] ---**
"Adorable"? I think the word you're
looking for is "disgusting."
**[07:15] ---**
So tell me, Shinra, what was your
motivation for joining the Fire Force?
**[07:20] ---**
Sir!
**[07:22] ---**
I came here to be a hero.
**[07:27] ---**
Heroic ideation is fine and all,
but Fire Soldiers are a team.
**[07:32] ---**
We have to make sure to
put cooperation first.
**[07:36] ---**
A hero, huh?
**[07:38] ---**
From what I understand,
**[07:40] ---**
you were called a devil,
even at the Training Academy,
**[07:42] ---**
over an incident that took place
when you were a little child.
**[07:47] ---**
Are you sure you're not just
a delinquent with a bad reputation
**[07:49] ---**
who became a Fire Soldier
to score a little credit?
**[07:53] ---**
And you expect to be a hero?
**[08:00] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, Shower Room"
**[08:01] ---**
Sister...
**[08:02] ---**
What is it, Maki-*san*?
**[08:05] ---**
Earlier, you were swept
off your feet like a princess
**[08:08] ---**
by the new recruit at the station, right?
**[08:11] ---**
When he did that,
**[08:12] ---**
did you feel it was the
hand of fate or anything?
**[08:16] ---**
"Thump-thump"
**[08:21] ---**
Maki-*san*, you're usually so cool.
**[08:25] ---**
That's because you have a girly
flower garden where your brain goes.
**[08:34] ---**
Reporting in!
**[08:36] ---**
Thanks for your help earlier.
**[08:40] ---**
N-Not at all.
**[08:44] ---**
Any hero would do the same.
**[08:47] ---**
It really *is* fate!
**[08:53] ---**
As a Sister, and our loveable Iris,
violence does not become you.
**[08:58] ---**
Isn't it nice and romantic?
**[09:05] ---**
I adjusted the cuffs on your pants
to go with your ability.
**[09:09] ---**
Is the length okay?
**[09:11] ---**
Yes. Thank you very--
**[09:17] ---**
That kind of smells nice.
**[09:19] ---**
Is that the scent of a damp woman?
**[09:22] ---**
Excuse me! That's *not* what I was thinking!
**[09:32] ---**
Um, Captain Obi, it's about that time.
**[09:37] ---**
All right. Everyone's here,
so let's get started.
**[09:44] ---**
Not even those of us here right now
know when or who it might happen to--
**[09:49] ---**
the terror that grips every
person who lives on earth.
**[09:53] ---**
Spontaneous human combustion.
**[09:59] ---**
One day, it just started.
**[10:01] ---**
Out of the blue, people the world over
began to catch fire.
**[10:04] ---**
These victims of human combustion
were labeled the first generation.
**[10:08] ---**
This first generation,
who lost all sense of self,
**[10:11] ---**
and ran out of control
until their lives were spent,
**[10:14] ---**
were feared as "Infernals."
**[10:17] ---**
Infernals would not cease their activity
**[10:20] ---**
until the core where their
hearts are was destroyed.
**[10:22] ---**
Or, in other words, put to rest.
**[10:25] ---**
The Special Fire Force's mission
**[10:28] ---**
is to put Infernals to rest and save the souls
of both humans and Infernals.
**[10:33] ---**
It is also our calling to solve the mystery
and find the cause of human combustion,
**[10:39] ---**
and more than anything,
to save humanity from the flame terror
**[10:43] ---**
as soon as possible.
**[10:48] ---**
I'm going to be a hero--
**[10:51] ---**
No, I *have* to be a hero.
**[10:58] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, Dorm, Unit C"
**[11:05] ---**
Mom...
**[11:07] ---**
Mom, I'm gonna be a superhero,
and keep both you and Sho safe.
**[11:14] ---**
That's so cool.
**[11:20] ---**
Devil!
**[11:23] ---**
Of course I'm not going to take in
such a dangerous child!
**[11:26] ---**
Now, Grandmother, you shouldn't
say that in front of your grandson.
**[11:30] ---**
Grandson?
**[11:33] ---**
Do you know what the boy has done?
**[11:37] ---**
And still... And still...
**[11:41] ---**
What a face for you to make!
**[11:48] ---**
I'll keep...
**[11:51] ---**
my promise.
**[11:57] ---**
The alarm!
**[11:58] ---**
Shinra!
**[11:59] ---**
An Infernal has appeared!
Be ready in 30 seconds!
**[12:02] ---**
Right!
**[12:05] ---**
"Captain"
"Unpowered"
"Akiharu Obi"
**[12:09] ---**
An Infernal has appeared
in Taito-ku, Torigoe District.
**[12:12] ---**
The site of the fire is a small factory.
**[12:15] ---**
The person who turned Inferno
is the factory manager's wife.
**[12:19] ---**
"Sister"
"Unpowered"
"Iris"
**[12:25] ---**
"Lieutenant"
"Second-generation pyrokinetic"
"Takehisa Hinawa"
**[12:29] ---**
We'll work with Squad 4 of the
Fire Defense Agency's Ueno Regional HQ
**[12:33] ---**
to put her to rest and to stamp things out.
**[12:36] ---**
"First Class Fire Soldier"
"Second-generation pyrokinetic"
"Maki Oze"
**[12:40] ---**
We're moving out!
Hurry and get in the Matchbox!
**[12:44] ---**
"Second Class Fire Soldier"
"Third-generation pyrokinetic"
"Shinra Kusakabe"
**[12:50] ---**
"Special Armored Fire Engine"
"Code name: Matchbox"
**[12:54] ---**
Emergency vehicles are now passing through.
**[12:57] ---**
All other traffic, please pull
to the side and clear a path.
**[13:05] ---**
Special Fire Force Company 8, move out!
**[13:17] ---**
This is your chance to be a hero.
**[13:39] ---**
The Blue Stripes are here!
**[13:43] ---**
This Infernal seems to be
especially aggressive.
**[13:48] ---**
We're working to keep any sparks from flying,
**[13:50] ---**
but unless you can put the Infernal
to rest, there's nothing--
**[13:53] ---**
Sister...
**[13:56] ---**
P-Please... Please bring my wife rest.
**[14:00] ---**
Infernals are lost souls
surrounded in flames.
**[14:04] ---**
In the name of the great
god Sol, I offer mercy.
**[14:10] ---**
Special Fire Force Company 8, we're going in!
**[14:13] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[14:18] ---**
There. All done.
**[14:20] ---**
All right!
**[14:21] ---**
Now I can keep everyone safe!
**[14:27] ---**
Mom, look! Do I look like a hero?
**[14:30] ---**
Mm-hmm. Very cool.
**[14:41] ---**
In there.
**[14:43] ---**
It's almost as if this wall of flames
is refusing to let us in.
**[14:47] ---**
This place must have been
very important to the wife.
**[14:58] ---**
Mom... Sho...
**[15:08] ---**
Shinra! Are you okay?
**[15:10] ---**
Huh?
**[15:12] ---**
I'm...
**[15:14] ---**
I thought you were going to be a hero.
**[15:16] ---**
Fire Soldiers do not leave their
comrades behind and run away.
**[15:20] ---**
When one of us delays, we're all delayed.
**[15:23] ---**
The luminous blue stripes
that ring our bodies
**[15:26] ---**
are the ties that bind friends together
in the world of flame and smoke.
**[15:31] ---**
Never break them!
**[15:33] ---**
Having a sense of fear allows you
to make cool-headed decisions. Just...
**[15:37] ---**
...don't chicken out because of it.
**[15:45] ---**
Not a problem.
**[15:49] ---**
Maki!
**[15:50] ---**
Securing a path!
**[16:00] ---**
The flames are being sucked in!
**[16:03] ---**
Shinra!
**[16:06] ---**
--Shinra!
--Shinra!
**[16:14] ---**
Shinra!
**[16:17] ---**
Shinra!
**[16:18] ---**
Hurry and get out of here! Hurry!
**[16:24] ---**
Mom...
**[16:28] ---**
The son, Shinra, was supposedly
the cause of the fire.
**[16:32] ---**
There weren't even any bones left
from his little brother Sho.
**[16:37] ---**
Did they say he was a third generation?
They can shoot out flames, right?
**[16:41] ---**
Terrifying, isn't it?
**[16:46] ---**
I can't very well run away.
**[16:48] ---**
It wasn't me.
**[16:52] ---**
There was something there, during the fire.
**[16:58] ---**
Something other than Mom, or Sho, or me.
**[17:05] ---**
I'm going to find out who the bastard was.
**[17:08] ---**
That twisted, nervous smile...
**[17:11] ---**
It's so disgusting.
**[17:12] ---**
He's a devil.
**[17:16] ---**
Ever since that day,
I haven't been able to smile genuinely.
**[17:21] ---**
Devil! Hey, Devil! Get up! Devil!
**[17:28] ---**
Blue... light...?
**[17:34] ---**
After getting stuck with a
heavy-duty nickname like Devil,
**[17:37] ---**
are you this pathetic?
**[17:40] ---**
I was knocked out.
**[17:42] ---**
How many minutes?
**[17:43] ---**
What? It was about five seconds.
**[17:46] ---**
Are you okay? If you can get up,
then get yourself up!
**[17:50] ---**
You okay, Shinra?
**[17:51] ---**
Yes!
**[17:59] ---**
Everyone prepare for battle!
**[18:08] ---**
2110. Now moving to put the Infernal
"Factory Manager's Wife" to rest!
**[18:12] ---**
--Roger!
--Roger!
**[18:15] ---**
Shinra, Maki and I will draw her attention.
**[18:19] ---**
Finish this in one shot
with those feet of yours!
**[18:21] ---**
Right.
**[18:24] ---**
Commence the operation!
**[18:45] ---**
Ow! That's hot!
**[18:54] ---**
Improved Type 2 Fire Ax thrust!
**[19:12] ---**
I was going to be a hero...
and keep Mom and Sho safe.
**[19:22] ---**
Mom... Sho... I'm sorry.
**[19:27] ---**
I couldn't keep my promise.
**[19:29] ---**
But I *will* keep another promise.
**[19:45] ---**
Mom...
**[19:47] ---**
...here I go.
**[19:53] ---**
I am not a devil! I have to be a hero!
**[20:00] ---**
There.
**[20:02] ---**
Off you go!
**[20:04] ---**
Off I go!
**[20:14] ---**
Sister! The prayer!
**[20:16] ---**
Right.
**[20:18] ---**
Captain!
**[20:19] ---**
Shinra! Aim for the core!
**[20:31] ---**
You are a devil!
**[20:36] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
**[20:39] ---**
Disgusting. What a crooked smile.
**[20:45] ---**
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[20:48] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
**[20:55] ---**
Hey, soul!
**[21:00] ---**
Burn!
**[21:09] ---**
Amazing. This is a
third generation's firepower?
**[21:14] ---**
Return to the great flame of fire.
**[21:20] ---**
*Látom*.
**[21:30] ---**
Sister, i-is my wife...?
**[21:33] ---**
Your wife is safe. She has returned
to the great flame of fire.
**[21:38] ---**
Shinra put her to rest without her suffering.
**[21:49] ---**
Thank you, Shinra. Thank you.
**[21:57] ---**
Good work!
**[21:59] ---**
Thank you, Fire Soldiers!
**[22:02] ---**
From here on, you'll be the recipient
of these cheers again and again.
**[22:07] ---**
Very cool.
**[22:11] ---**
You've taken your first step toward
becoming a hero, haven't you?
**[22:15] ---**
**[22:17] ---**
**[22:18] ---**
"To be continued"
**[23:51] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:08] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:16] ---**
...is death by fire.
**[00:24] ---**
So this is the place that's
to be my castle, then?
**[00:33] ---**
The Rookie Fire Soldier Games?
**[00:35] ---**
It's a contest where all the rookies
that joined up this year
**[00:39] ---**
compete against each other with
their abilities, and it's coming up.
**[00:42] ---**
You and the other new recruit
who will be arriving today
**[00:45] ---**
will be the ones who are representing us.
**[00:47] ---**
Today? There's a new recruit?
**[00:50] ---**
That's right.
**[00:54] ---**
Um, Captain, will there be anyone
other than us rookies at this contest?
**[01:00] ---**
Yeah. I'll be coming to cheer you on.
**[01:38] ---**
There may be other crew members
who know about that fire.
**[01:49] ---**
Yo, Devil.
**[01:51] ---**
What the hell are you doing here,
you damn knight?
**[01:55] ---**
I'm here to slay a devil.
**[01:57] ---**
What was that, you onion-headed bastard?
Let's take this outside--
**[03:34] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, rooftop"
**[03:36] ---**
"Alcohol"
**[03:37] ---**
Here, Sputter.
**[03:49] ---**
You really are something else, Maki-*san*,
**[03:51] ---**
freely controlling flames at will like that.
**[03:54] ---**
I wouldn't say that.
I'm only a second generation,
**[03:58] ---**
so unlike a third generation like Shinra,
I need a fire starter to create my flames.
**[04:15] ---**
That's hot!
**[04:22] ---**
Today's the day I'm going to settle this!
**[04:27] ---**
I'm going to show you the difference
between our firepowers.
**[04:33] ---**
Actually, who are you?
**[04:36] ---**
My name is Arthur Boyle--
**[04:39] ---**
the Knight King.
**[04:40] ---**
"Second Class Fire Soldier"
"Third-generation pyrokinetic"
"Arthur Boyle"
**[04:45] ---**
Are you the princesses of this castle?
**[04:47] ---**
--Huh?
--Huh? Princesses?
**[04:51] ---**
Ah, you must be the third-generation
Fire Soldier joining us today.
**[04:56] ---**
Hmph.
**[04:57] ---**
Shinra, do you know him?
**[04:59] ---**
Yes. We were at the Academy together.
**[05:02] ---**
I told him that knights
were wussier than heroes,
**[05:05] ---**
so midway through,
he tacked "King" onto "Knight."
**[05:08] ---**
Sneaky, am I right?
**[05:09] ---**
Hmph.
**[05:10] ---**
O-Okay.
**[05:12] ---**
He tries to play at being tightlipped
and cool, but he's just an idiot.
**[05:16] ---**
He's too stupid to come
up with anything to say.
**[05:19] ---**
And yet...
**[05:21] ---**
--And yet what?
--And yet what?
**[05:23] ---**
Somehow, he's still popular.
**[05:25] ---**
Ah, yes. That.
**[05:27] ---**
Hmph.
**[05:29] ---**
*I'm* the one with the stronger will, though!
**[05:32] ---**
"Knight"
**[05:32] ---**
That's because knights are way more cool.
**[05:34] ---**
--Ah!
--*Kings*. Knight *Kings*.
**[05:34] ---**
"Knight King"
**[05:35] ---**
--*Kings*. Knight *Kings*.
**[05:37] ---**
Shinra-*san*...
**[05:39] ---**
You're cool, too.
**[05:43] ---**
Show me that awkward smile of yours, Devil.
**[05:46] ---**
What did you say?
**[05:48] ---**
What are you doing?
**[05:50] ---**
Lieutenant Hinawa! The new recruit, Arthur,
**[05:52] ---**
and Shinra have apparently
known each other since the Academy.
**[06:01] ---**
"Head Spa"
**[06:01] ---**
Sputter!
**[06:04] ---**
Fire Soldiers do not play with fire.
**[06:07] ---**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[06:13] ---**
So you're Arthur?
**[06:15] ---**
Yeah. Nice working with you.
**[06:17] ---**
Hey, he's a lieutenant.
**[06:20] ---**
Everyone is equal before
the round table.
**[06:23] ---**
Don't sweat it.
**[06:25] ---**
Is that something for a subordinate to say?
**[06:28] ---**
*Látom*.
**[06:34] ---**
Whatever.
**[06:39] ---**
The Rookie Games are coming up soon,
and I want to see what you've got.
**[06:44] ---**
Use your abilities as hard as you like.
**[06:47] ---**
Maki, take these two on.
**[06:49] ---**
Huh? Who, me?
**[06:51] ---**
Is there anyone else here named "Maki"?
**[06:54] ---**
I beg your pardon!
**[06:57] ---**
Shinra will lead off.
**[06:59] ---**
Are we really supposed to fight?
**[07:01] ---**
You don't have to hold back.
**[07:03] ---**
Is Maki-*san* going to be all right?
Those two are both third generation.
**[07:09] ---**
That won't be a problem.
**[07:10] ---**
Maki is an ex-soldier.
She knows how to destroy a man.
**[07:16] ---**
Well, let's hurry up and get started.
**[07:37] ---**
Shinra!
**[07:52] ---**
I thought I was dead!
**[07:54] ---**
Isn't Maki-*san* overdoing it a little?
**[07:57] ---**
Appearances to the contrary,
**[07:59] ---**
Shinra is fairly capable of
rational decision-making.
**[08:01] ---**
However, being a third-generation
pyrokinetic makes him overconfident.
**[08:08] ---**
You won't get me like you did him.
**[08:10] ---**
Excalibur!
**[08:24] ---**
It didn't go out!
**[08:25] ---**
So it's a plasma cutter.
**[08:27] ---**
My Excalibur can't be dampened
as easily as Shinra's flames.
**[08:35] ---**
But a knight can't very well
do harm to a princess, either.
**[08:42] ---**
You're forgetting your knightly manners.
**[08:44] ---**
Knights kneel in the presence
of princesses, remember?
**[08:50] ---**
You'll answer to me for your rudeness
toward Lieutenant Hinawa.
**[08:54] ---**
Why, you! So you're not
a princess, but an ogre?!
**[08:58] ---**
Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
**[09:01] ---**
I never said that! Don't you even
understand human speech, she-ogre?!
**[09:06] ---**
Leave it to a flame-manipulating
third generation to throw fuel on a fire.
**[09:11] ---**
Don't forget about me!
**[09:14] ---**
Huh? How come you've got
such an ogre-like look on your face?
**[09:18] ---**
Not you, too, Shinra-*san*.
**[09:21] ---**
If I can't snuff out your flames...
**[09:26] ---**
What's this flared-up business, now?
**[09:29] ---**
Huh?
**[09:31] ---**
Excalibur, too?
**[09:32] ---**
Make that Ex-Sputter-bur.
**[09:35] ---**
Ex-Sputter-bur?!
**[09:38] ---**
"Devil" and "Knight" indeed.
If we follow their pattern,
**[09:42] ---**
then I guess that makes
Maki a "Witch," doesn't it?
**[09:45] ---**
Sputter! Flare!
**[09:49] ---**
Come forth, Bobobo-bobo-bobo!
**[09:54] ---**
"Bo"?
**[09:57] ---**
Would you like to keep going?
**[10:07] ---**
What choice do we have?
Arthur, if you say you're out, then...
**[10:11] ---**
Shinra, if you'll give up,
then I guess that's that.
**[10:18] ---**
Bobobo-bobo-bobo!
**[10:30] ---**
"Episode 2:
The Heart of a Fire Soldier"
**[10:33] ---**
"Ippudo Ramen"
**[10:38] ---**
--I can definitely eat faster than him!
--I can definitely eat faster than him!
**[10:40] ---**
Make sure to chew before you swallow.
**[10:42] ---**
"Chew-chew"
**[10:49] ---**
"Gulp"
**[10:53] ---**
Pops, top off their noodles,
extra-firm, please.
**[10:57] ---**
"Watch us next week, too!"
**[10:58] ---**
--Thank you for the food!
--Thank you for the food!
**[11:00] ---**
Delish grub, Captain.
**[11:02] ---**
Hey, mind your tone.
**[11:03] ---**
Yeah, glad to hear it.
**[11:06] ---**
That restaurant *is* delish.
**[11:08] ---**
Captain Obi sure is nice.
Does anything ever make him mad?
**[11:14] ---**
Hmm? What's the matter, Shinra?
**[11:16] ---**
N-Nothing at all, sir.
**[11:20] ---**
Okay.
**[11:24] ---**
Training right after eating
isn't good for you,
**[11:27] ---**
so I guess there's no choice
but to do some office work.
**[11:30] ---**
Why's it no good?
**[11:32] ---**
I mean, he's already
taken up with that idiot.
**[11:39] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, shooting range"
**[11:40] ---**
So this is the Type 7?
**[11:42] ---**
The Type 7 Firefighting Ax.
**[11:44] ---**
When you pull the trigger,
a Sacred Spike shoots out of the ax's end.
**[11:49] ---**
I don't need one of those.
**[11:51] ---**
I have Excalibur here.
**[11:53] ---**
A plasma cutter--
**[11:55] ---**
an ultra-hot, ultra-dense blade,
**[11:58] ---**
consisting of plasma created
from your own flames
**[12:00] ---**
and emitted from the hilt of a sword.
**[12:03] ---**
It's true, with pyrokinetic abilities,
you might not need the Type 7.
**[12:09] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, equipment room"
"Special Club"
**[12:09] ---**
Every time I head out,
I have to equip over 30 kilos of gear,
**[12:11] ---**
"Special Fire Cathedral 8, equipment room"
"Pile Bunker"
**[12:12] ---**
"Pile Bunker"
**[12:13] ---**
"Improved Type 2 Fire Ax"
**[12:13] ---**
and maintenance takes time, too.
**[12:15] ---**
"Extinguisher Grenades"
**[12:16] ---**
It sure would help us if we could
hurry up and get an engineer.
**[12:17] ---**
"Extinguisher"
**[12:19] ---**
"Type 7 Firefighting Ax"
**[12:20] ---**
Take some pressure off the lieutenant.
**[12:21] ---**
"Special Shield"
**[12:23] ---**
I don't really mind, actually.
**[12:32] ---**
An Infernal has appeared
in Taito-ku, Iriya District, sir!
**[12:52] ---**
This one's a fire in a detached house.
**[12:56] ---**
It's conceivable that we'll have to
put them to rest in close quarters.
**[12:59] ---**
Shinra...
**[13:01] ---**
This may also place limits on your ability.
**[13:05] ---**
Take the Type 7.
**[13:08] ---**
Keep your weapons hidden
inside your turnout coats.
**[13:11] ---**
Under no circumstances display them publicly.
**[13:21] ---**
This is a quiet fire scene.
**[13:29] ---**
Papa... and Mama... Why?
I'm going to be next...
**[13:38] ---**
Apparently, her mother also
Infernalized two years ago.
**[13:43] ---**
And now, it's her father?
**[13:46] ---**
That's rough.
**[13:47] ---**
Captain Obi?
**[13:49] ---**
Let's do this one nice and gently for her.
**[13:54] ---**
I hear there have been a lot of strange
incidents at fire scenes lately.
**[13:58] ---**
Stay on your toes.
**[13:59] ---**
Everyone, prepare to move in!
**[14:01] ---**
--Roger!
--Roger!
**[14:08] ---**
Shinra, Arthur, step over here.
**[14:16] ---**
Didn't I tell you not to display
your weapons in public?
**[14:20] ---**
Why not? There's no such rule
in the Fire Soldiers' regulations.
**[14:25] ---**
They didn't say anything at
the Training Academy, either.
**[14:27] ---**
Excalibur is my pride.
**[14:30] ---**
Why should I have to keep it hidden?
**[14:32] ---**
Our duty as Fire Soldiers is to
fight Infernals and put them to rest.
**[14:39] ---**
Infernals were once human.
**[14:42] ---**
While we may call it "putting them to rest,"
what we are really doing...
**[14:54] ---**
There are those among the Fire Soldiers
**[14:56] ---**
who consider themselves
part of a sacred ministry,
**[14:59] ---**
and seek out joy in engaging
Infernals in combat.
**[15:03] ---**
But what about the feelings of
the survivors they leave behind?
**[15:07] ---**
Those who are being put to rest when
we fight are somebody's dear relatives.
**[15:17] ---**
Never show your weapons
in front of the next of kin.
**[15:20] ---**
If you can't do that,
then I don't want you in my unit.
**[15:23] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[15:26] ---**
He's right. If I'm not there
for those that are left behind,
**[15:30] ---**
then I'm not a true hero.
**[15:56] ---**
The flames have changed!
Did the Infernal inside do that?
**[16:00] ---**
The fire is sneering at us!
**[16:03] ---**
It's hard to believe that an Infernal,
with no sense of self, could be doing this.
**[16:07] ---**
We're moving in!
**[16:09] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[16:24] ---**
Infernal located.
**[16:26] ---**
He's just sitting there quietly, huh?
**[16:43] ---**
Why is this happening?
**[16:50] ---**
Captain,
**[16:52] ---**
let me be the one to put him to rest.
**[16:55] ---**
Hang on a second. That Infernal
still hasn't done anything yet.
**[17:00] ---**
Don't be a dumbass!
**[17:02] ---**
The man is sitting there enduring
the tremendous pain of those flames.
**[17:07] ---**
We have to put him out
of his misery, quickly.
**[17:12] ---**
1706.
**[17:15] ---**
Moving to put the Infernal to rest.
**[17:24] ---**
We cannot allow you to suffer
any more pain than this.
**[17:28] ---**
Sister, the prayer.
**[17:30] ---**
Right.
**[17:33] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
**[17:36] ---**
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[17:39] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[17:41] ---**
May thy soul...
**[17:46] ---**
Return to the great flame of fire.
**[17:56] ---**
*Látom*.
**[17:58] ---**
--*Látom*.
--*Látom*.
**[18:04] ---**
Is that painful?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes... for me...
**[18:09] ---**
That's how it should be for you now.
The most terrifying thing in this job...
**[18:13] ---**
...is getting accustomed to it.
**[18:28] ---**
What was that?!
**[18:29] ---**
It's collapsing! Everybody out!
**[18:36] ---**
Captain!
**[18:37] ---**
C-Captain!
**[18:42] ---**
I don't know whose doing this is,
but I train every day.
**[18:51] ---**
This is taking things too far!
**[19:00] ---**
There's something funny afoot
in the Special Fire Force.
**[19:10] ---**
This is just a little joke.
**[19:18] ---**
Captain, are you hurt?
**[19:20] ---**
I'm fine.
**[19:21] ---**
Could some malicious
third party have targeted us?
**[19:26] ---**
I don't know.
**[19:28] ---**
But there's no way I'll ever permit
anyone to disturb a fire scene
**[19:31] ---**
that is still full of
memories for the survivors.
**[19:34] ---**
I swear I'll catch them.
**[19:36] ---**
Though right now, we're heading back.
**[19:54] ---**
I'm... going to burn, too, someday.
**[20:00] ---**
Papa... Mama...
**[20:03] ---**
Mikako-*san*...
**[20:11] ---**
Your father valiantly
faced the flames, and won.
**[20:16] ---**
Your father and your mother must have
been protecting you from the flames.
**[20:24] ---**
That's what I believe.
**[20:29] ---**
Papa... Mama...
**[20:43] ---**
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything.
**[20:46] ---**
This is about all any of us can do.
**[20:50] ---**
Which is exactly why we're there
for the survivors as much as possible,
**[20:54] ---**
and charge into a sea of flames.
**[21:06] ---**
Go to sleep, Devil.
**[21:11] ---**
There's nothing there that
the likes of you can see.
**[21:15] ---**
You're wasting your time.
**[21:22] ---**
Sometimes you see things
by closing your eyes.
**[21:26] ---**
What are you saying?
**[21:27] ---**
If you don't know, then go to sleep, Devil.
**[21:31] ---**
You don't mean...
**[21:34] ---**
...you...
**[21:36] ---**
Just showing a little
compassion, as a knight.
**[21:44] ---**
Ah!
**[21:46] ---**
...King. Knight King.
**[21:53] ---**
Hey...
**[21:54] ---**
What?
**[21:56] ---**
Don't talk to me just
because you can't sleep.
**[21:59] ---**
Heh, you may be a devil, but it still
wouldn't do to kill you in your sleep.
**[22:03] ---**
Just be grateful I'm a
knight and go to sleep.
**[22:06] ---**
Ah.
**[22:07] ---**
...King. Knight King.
**[22:09] ---**
Now I know you're doing it on purpose.
**[22:12] ---**
I... *We* have to put a stop to this
spontaneous human combustion, fast.

**[00:06] ---**
You do, of course, know what's taking
place in the world right now, right?
**[00:12] ---**
The world is in shambles. In some places,
flames are being whipped up,
**[00:16] ---**
space is distorting in a way
that is carving up continents,
**[00:20] ---**
and many countries that
once existed have fallen.
**[00:23] ---**
Right now, there are few places
where you can live a decent life
**[00:27] ---**
other than here in the Tokyo Empire.
**[00:30] ---**
And so, people gather here
in the relatively undamaged Tokyo,
**[00:35] ---**
where the Holy Sol Temple and
Haijima Industries have developed
**[00:38] ---**
Amaterasu, the perpetual
thermal energy plant.
**[00:40] ---**
The empire is the beneficiary
of its vast energy,
**[00:44] ---**
and has also made further advancements.
**[00:48] ---**
Does this story keep going on?
**[00:51] ---**
Who knows? If it were up to me,
I'd like it to continue.
**[00:57] ---**
So how did it go?
**[00:59] ---**
This stuff I had you make for me
did some interesting things.
**[01:04] ---**
Special Fire Force Company 8,
with that devil guy?
**[01:08] ---**
I did a little checking into them.
**[01:10] ---**
Their captain, Akitaru Obi, was decorated
twice in his firefighter days.
**[01:16] ---**
He was also stripped of them twice.
**[01:18] ---**
"Akitaru Obi"
**[01:19] ---**
The reason why they stripped them is because
**[01:21] ---**
he disobeyed orders to
give priority to life-saving.
**[01:23] ---**
Very nice. A model fireman,
whether for good or bad.
**[01:29] ---**
You could say the 8th
**[01:31] ---**
has been built up on the strength
of Obi's character and magnetism.
**[01:35] ---**
They're a different animal
than the other companies.
**[01:38] ---**
It's fascinating.
**[01:43] ---**

**[01:52] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[01:53] ---**

Yeah! The Rookie Games!
**[03:23] ---**
Tamaki Kotatsu is here to rock!
***SIGN*** "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Tamaki Kotatsu"
**[03:33] ---**
Huh? What are you looking at?!
**[03:36] ---**
Nothing.
**[03:38] ---**
Wow!
**[03:40] ---**
Wone Wone Nyine!
**[03:41] ---**
Wone Wone Nyine?
**[03:43] ---**
You don't know them? They're the
Fire Defense Agency's mascot characters,
**[03:46] ---**
Wone Wone Nyine!
**[03:48] ---**
But one of them is just an older man.
**[03:51] ---**
Ah, you mean Mamoru-*kun*?
**[03:53] ---**
Mamoru-*kun*...
**[03:55] ---**
The characters started out
as two dogs and one cat,
**[03:59] ---**
but the higher-ups at the Fire Defense Agency
**[04:00] ---**
complained about all three
of them being animals,
**[04:05] ---**
so one of them became a dog-faced older man.
**[04:08] ---**
What's wrong with having them
be two dogs and a cat?
**[04:10] ---**
Huh? But Mamoru-*kun* is cute!
**[04:13] ---**
Eh?
**[04:17] ---**
Eh?!
**[04:45] ---**
That man was...
**[04:52] ---**
Excuse me!
**[04:57] ---**
Do you need something?
**[04:59] ---**
Are you one of the rookies
that came in this year?
**[05:02] ---**
Yes, sir! Shinra Kusakabe,
Special Fire Force Company 8!
**[05:07] ---**
Um, if you don't mind me asking,
do you remember that fire 12 years ago?
**[05:12] ---**
I don't have time to chat
with you right now. Excuse me.
**[05:16] ---**
I just need a moment!
**[05:17] ---**
Hey, you! Don't act so
forward with my captain!
**[05:26] ---**
No, it's not like that! I'm sorry!
**[05:28] ---**
What are you smiling at, you pervert?!
**[05:36] ---**
Damn it! Why does my lucky lecher lure
always have to activate?!
**[05:40] ---**
I know you stepped in to distract me,
but that's *really* distracting.
**[05:50] ---**
Captain of the 1st, can I have just a moment?
**[05:53] ---**
The competition is about to begin.
**[05:55] ---**
All competitors, please put on
your turnout gear and gather around.
**[06:00] ---**
You said your name was Shinra?
**[06:02] ---**
Do you know how many fires
break out in a year?
**[06:07] ---**
I'm sorry, but I don't remember something
that happened 12 years ago.
**[06:12] ---**
The competition is beginning. Go get ready.
**[06:20] ---**
He's hiding something, isn't he?
**[06:24] ---**
What is this?
**[06:29] ---**
You are all about to
charge into this building
**[06:31] ---**
which will be simulating a fire scene.
**[06:34] ---**
After you overcome the obstacles
and rescue those who require it,
**[06:37] ---**
be the first to reach the crewman
posing as an Infernal.
**[06:43] ---**
So that's it. We're storming the castle.
**[06:47] ---**
Is everyone ready?
**[06:51] ---**
Start!
**[06:58] ---**
Is he that confident?
**[07:00] ---**
Then again, in my case...
**[07:04] ---**
...I can just fly up there!
**[07:06] ---**
Wha--?!
**[07:07] ---**
Dirty pool. This is why I hate devils.
**[07:11] ---**
Damn it!
**[07:12] ---**
Nekomata!
**[07:19] ---**
Heroes always arrive from the skies.
**[07:25] ---**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[07:28] ---**
I have to hurry and wrap up this contest,
**[07:30] ---**
and question the captain from the 1st.
**[07:36] ---**
Hello?! Is there anyone alive up here?!
**[07:56] ---**
Yo. I took care of anyone getting in our way.
**[08:02] ---**
I need your attention, Devil's Footprints.
**[08:06] ---**
Huh?
**[08:08] ---**
That fire that happened to you 12 years ago--
would you like to know about it?
**[08:14] ---**
What?
**[08:17] ---**
Who... are you?
**[08:22] ---**
You'd like to know right? About the fire
your mother and brother died in?
**[08:29] ---**
About the day you became a devil?
**[08:34] ---**
How do you know about that?! Who are you?!
**[08:39] ---**
Get away from those crewmen!
**[08:41] ---**
Huh? What? You're more worried about
these two than hearing about the fire?
**[08:48] ---**
You Fire Soldiers...
**[08:51] ---**
Okay, so you can't give me your attention.
**[08:58] ---**
Well then, guess I'll kill them.
**[09:02] ---**
Stop!
**[09:08] ---**
Ho...
**[09:11] ---**
Whoa...
**[09:14] ---**
What do you know about the fire? Tell me.
**[09:17] ---**
If you entertain me, I'll tell you.
**[09:24] ---**
So, let's see how many moves you can last.
**[09:29] ---**
Ashes?
**[10:11] ---**
Well, that was surprisingly easy.
**[10:18] ---**
Guess I'll kill you.
**[10:22] ---**
H-
**[10:24] ---**
He's gonna kill me...
**[10:26] ---**
Wow, that's a hell of a look on your face.
**[10:29] ---**
You can still smile, even in this situation?
You're better than I thought.
**[10:36] ---**
As a reward, I'll give you your first
hint about the truth of that fire.
**[10:45] ---**
Your younger brother...
**[10:47] ---**
...is still alive.
**[10:52] ---**
What? Sho is alive?
**[10:57] ---**
What do you mean?! Sho was
burned to death, bones and all!
**[11:01] ---**
And besides, if he's alive,
where has he been since the fire?!
**[11:05] ---**
At the time, Sho was still
a one-year-old baby!
**[11:09] ---**
You think maybe someone is hiding something?
**[11:13] ---**
There's no way I could believe
something like that!
**[11:23] ---**
What's the matter? Did that ring a bell?
**[11:28] ---**
Even if it's true, how
would *you* know about it?
**[11:32] ---**
Why would you tell me about it?
**[11:35] ---**
What are you after? Why did you
come all the way up here?!
**[11:39] ---**
So now you're deeply
intrigued by me. Very good.
**[11:43] ---**
You do show a lot of promise, after all.
**[11:46] ---**
And from the way you're acting,
do you have suspicions about the Fire Force?
**[11:52] ---**
Your mother died; that's
nothing to sneeze at.
**[11:56] ---**
You want to know the truth, don't you?
**[12:01] ---**
Are you ready to stop playing hero,
and seek out the truth
**[12:05] ---**
by joining me as a devil?
**[12:08] ---**
Be a hero *or* a devil, you say?
**[12:12] ---**
Screw you! No matter what you know,
you still assaulted two Fire Soldiers!
**[12:18] ---**
I'm gonna kick your ass and take you in!
**[12:21] ---**
Well, this is disappointing.
**[12:26] ---**
That flying kick of yours
leaves you wide open.
**[12:39] ---**
Heroes always do flying kicks!
**[12:46] ---**
That's incredible, isn't it?
That's the firepower of the Devil!
**[13:24] ---**
Whoa, that startled me!
**[13:31] ---**
I'm sensing something icky up ahead.
**[13:34] ---**
I'm picking up a whiff of
some awfully nasty danger.
**[13:37] ---**
I am not a knight-shaped seat cushion.
Hurry up and move.
**[13:42] ---**
What are you doing underneath me, you sicko?!
**[13:45] ---**
I'm not a knight-shaped punching bag, either.
**[13:57] ---**
Hey!
**[13:59] ---**
Watch out!
**[14:01] ---**
I let this drag on too long,
and now we're being interrupted.
**[14:05] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting, "Infernal."
**[14:08] ---**
Arthur!
**[14:08] ---**
A suspicious man has
snuck into the games facility!
**[14:11] ---**
He's brought harm to two crewmen
who are now injured!
**[14:13] ---**
Go report this to the captains outside!
**[14:15] ---**
What?!
**[14:18] ---**
Don't lie to me. I'm gonna be the winner.
**[14:21] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:22] ---**
I'm gonna catch him!
**[14:24] ---**
Oh, you stupid knight!
**[14:29] ---**
How do you plan to catch me
by waving that sword around?
**[14:36] ---**
Don't forget about me!
**[14:43] ---**
Caught you!
**[14:51] ---**
They're taking things
this far in the Rookie Games?
**[14:53] ---**
Like I told you, the competition is on hold!
**[14:59] ---**
Shinra, if you insist on being a hero,
**[15:04] ---**
then go ahead and try to rescue
every last person here.
**[15:08] ---**
More of those ashes?
**[15:13] ---**
What are those?
**[15:14] ---**
Ashes?
**[15:17] ---**
Later, Devil. If you ever feel like
joining the Joker, I'll take you in.
**[15:28] ---**
Good luck with this.
**[15:31] ---**
We have to get out of here, now!
It's gonna explode!
**[15:39] ---**
Arthur, cut through the ceiling!
We'll head upward!
**[15:45] ---**
Only beautiful princesses
may give orders to a knight.
**[15:54] ---**
Hmph, my cuts were too brilliant
to let the ceiling fall down.
**[15:58] ---**
Move it! We're busting
through the ceiling, right?
**[16:09] ---**
Grab on, both of you!
**[16:14] ---**
I'm saving them all!
**[16:25] ---**
Are you a hero, or are you a devil?
**[16:28] ---**
Damn it all, Fire Soldiers are heroes!
**[16:38] ---**
Arthur! Cat lady!
**[16:40] ---**
Save me!
**[16:43] ---**
God have mercy.
**[16:47] ---**
Captain Burns!
**[16:50] ---**
You get those two safely down on the ground.
**[16:54] ---**
Right!
**[16:56] ---**
Um, what about me?
**[16:58] ---**
Look down.
**[17:01] ---**
Don't punk out, Arthur!
**[17:03] ---**
Show us that 8th spirit!
**[17:06] ---**
That 8th spirit? All I'm
doing is freefalling.
**[17:18] ---**
Ow...
**[17:20] ---**
It's lucky for me you're all so musclebound.
**[17:23] ---**
Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
**[17:25] ---**
I never said that!
**[17:38] ---**
Is there anyone hurt?!
**[17:39] ---**
Hurry and evacuate!
**[17:46] ---**
It looks as though you
took care of Tamaki, here.
**[17:49] ---**
I could have gotten out of there by myself.
**[17:52] ---**
Shinra, wasn't it? Thanks.
**[17:58] ---**
Your praise is more than I deserve.
Thank you very much.
**[18:03] ---**
Shinra! Are you okay?!
**[18:04] ---**
I saw that! You saved all four of them!
You're a hero, you know that?
**[18:09] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[18:12] ---**
All right, we'll be going now.
**[18:20] ---**
Tamaki, tell me what happened in there.
**[18:23] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[18:26] ---**
That's a good man you've got there.
**[18:45] ---**
I ran into a suspicious man inside.
**[18:48] ---**
Someone who could control explosions
with a mysterious powder.
**[18:52] ---**
The explosions were a lot like the ones
at that fire scene the other day.
**[18:57] ---**
The man seemed to know something.
**[19:00] ---**
Captain, is the Special Fire Force
hiding something?
**[19:06] ---**
Shinra...
**[19:08] ---**
The Special Fire Force really is fighting
for the good of the people, right?
**[19:13] ---**
I became a Fire Soldier to keep people safe.
**[19:18] ---**
Fire Soldiers really are heroes
who fight the flame terror, right?
**[19:26] ---**
Yes, they are. On the other hand,
**[19:28] ---**
the Special Fire Force isn't exactly
one monolithic organization.
**[19:34] ---**
The Fire Force was formed by
combining personnel from three bodies--
**[19:38] ---**
the Holy Sol Temple, the Tokyo Armed Forces,
and the Fire Defense Agency.
**[19:43] ---**
Moreover, each of them has different
levels of influence at each company.
**[19:48] ---**
The influence of the Holy Sol Temple
is strong at the 1st.
**[19:52] ---**
The 2nd reports directly
to the Tokyo Armed Forces.
**[19:56] ---**
At the 5th, the real power is
held by Haijima Industries.
**[20:01] ---**
Haijima?
**[20:03] ---**
How is Haijima in so deep?
**[20:06] ---**
All of the equipment that we use
is made by Haijima.
**[20:10] ---**
The Special Fire Force could not
operate without Haijima.
**[20:14] ---**
They have a monopoly on product orders,
**[20:17] ---**
and control vast amounts
of capital and interests.
**[20:20] ---**
Of course, each company's duty
is to put Infernals to rest,
**[20:24] ---**
to seek out the cause of
spontaneous human combustion,
**[20:27] ---**
and fight on behalf of the people.
**[20:30] ---**
However, each company keeps the
information they find out to themselves,
**[20:35] ---**
and nothing is shared.
**[20:37] ---**
Some of it may be information about
the truth behind human combustion.
**[20:44] ---**
I believe it to be a just organization,
**[20:46] ---**
but there may be some companies
that have their own dubious motives.
**[20:50] ---**
Since I can't completely trust them,
I'm also suspicious of the Fire Force.
**[20:55] ---**
Then, sir, what is our objective at the 8th?
**[21:00] ---**
We at the 8th are a body
**[21:03] ---**
that some on the Fire Defense Agency
strong-armed into creation,
**[21:06] ---**
with me as its captain, comprised of
members that they could trust--
**[21:11] ---**
to investigate Companies 1 through 7,
and zero in on the truth.
**[21:17] ---**
Does that mean...?
**[21:19] ---**
The Special Fire Force should already
know the cause of the Infernals.
**[21:24] ---**
I want to find what it is, and save people.
**[21:42] ---**
Please allow me to help you
with that investigation, sir.
**[21:51] ---**
Thanks. I'm glad I called you into the 8th.

Stay out of it.

**[01:24] ---**
Crunch!
**[01:26] ---**
I'll listen to it later.
That's my research unit.
**[01:30] ---**
I don't take orders from the main office.
**[01:32] ---**
Crunch!
**[01:33] ---**
The 5th is heading out. Even if we
have to step on the 8th's jurisdiction,
**[01:36] ---**
we're going to secure that Infernal!

Object approaching subject at high speed!
**[01:41] ---**
Crunch!

Judging by the Adolla pattern,

I believe it is a third-generation
Fire Soldier from the 8th.

All right, everyone, have
a pleasant day. *Látom*.
**[03:48] ---**
Sure enough, there's no news
on yesterday's incident,
**[03:50] ---**
or the man known as Joker.
**[03:54] ---**
Could the Special Fire Force
indeed be hiding something?
**[04:03] ---**
If I stick with him, I'm sure I can
get closer to the truth
**[04:07] ---**
about the mystery of human combustion,
and the day I lost Mom and Sho.
**[04:15] ---**
Pardon me for interrupting your discussion.
**[04:18] ---**
The analysis on the ashes Joker used
to blow up the training facility came back.
**[04:23] ---**
Apparently, their main component
is Infernal ashes.
**[04:30] ---**
Those ashes... were Infernal ashes?
**[04:33] ---**
They're using the remains of the dead?
Is nothing sacred?
**[05:06] ---**
The flames of the original sin...
**[05:21] ---**
Turns out I wasn't able
to tell them about Sho.
**[05:28] ---**
Hey, stop looking like you're dead
when we're in the office!
**[05:32] ---**
It's killing my own mood to work.
**[05:36] ---**
This is Arthur Boyle, lord of Camelot.
What is the nature of your message?
**[05:42] ---**
I'm sorry about that.
Special Fire Force Company 8.
**[05:46] ---**
Ah, yes, yes...
**[05:51] ---**
Yes. A dog? Right. Very well.
**[05:56] ---**
--Hey...
--What is the address?
**[05:57] ---**
--What?
--What is the address?
**[05:58] ---**
--Why did you become a Fire Soldier?
--Okay... Okay... Very well.
**[06:01] ---**
--Because I'm a knight.
--Okay... Okay... Very well.
**[06:02] ---**
We'll be there right away.
**[06:05] ---**
Hey, you two.
**[06:07] ---**
A dog got caught up in a tree,
and can't get back down again.
**[06:10] ---**
Would you mind going and rescuing him?
**[06:12] ---**
Rescue a dog? Isn't that a job
for regular firefighters?
**[06:17] ---**
We get calls mistaking Fire Soldiers
for regular firefighters all the time.
**[06:21] ---**
And you two aren't getting anywhere
with your work anyway, are you?
**[06:25] ---**
I'll take care of the rest of that.
**[06:29] ---**
All right. I'll go.
**[06:32] ---**
With my ability, it will be easy
to get him out of a tree.
**[06:38] ---**
"Mr. Fireman, right here!! Up! Up!!"
**[06:43] ---**
Huh? That's not a dog--
**[06:46] ---**
so much as it's Mamoru-*kun*, isn't it?
**[06:48] ---**
Goodness...
**[06:58] ---**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[07:00] ---**
What were you doing up a tree?
**[07:03] ---**
While passing out balloons during
a function at the shopping district,
**[07:07] ---**
some neighborhood college
students "hoorayed" me.
**[07:10] ---**
"Hooray!"
**[07:13] ---**
Why would they do that?
**[07:18] ---**
Do you remember the serial killings
carried out by that firefighter?
**[07:22] ---**
Huh?
**[07:23] ---**
The man who was a firefighter,
but killed four people on a spree--
**[07:27] ---**
Miyamoto.
**[07:29] ---**
Ever since that case,
**[07:31] ---**
people's discontent for the Fire Defense
Agency and firefighters has grown,
**[07:34] ---**
and sometimes, we get picked on like this.
**[07:38] ---**
So, what happened to this firefighter?
**[07:42] ---**
His verdict is scheduled
to be announced today.
**[07:46] ---**
Word is that he'll probably be found
not guilty for psychiatric reasons.
**[07:52] ---**
Thus, we find the defendant,
Setsuo Miyamoto, not guilty.
**[07:57] ---**
--Impossible!
--The death penalty's too good for him!
**[07:59] ---**
You scum!
**[08:00] ---**
Do you know how many people he killed?!
**[08:01] ---**
--Easy-peasy. The law is just a big pushover.
**[08:01] ---**
--You're letting him off
because he's a firefighter?!
**[08:05] ---**
The country would be up a creek
if a firefighter was found guilty.
**[08:09] ---**
No sweat!
**[08:14] ---**
Wah! It burns! Somebody!
Somebody! Put me out!
**[08:18] ---**
--Ha, ha, ha! That's what you get!
--Get an extinguisher! Or even a blanket!
**[08:19] ---**
--Scum!
--The great Sol has decided to punish you!
**[08:21] ---**
--The great Sol has decided to punish you!
**[08:28] ---**
I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
**[08:34] ---**
Human combustion!
**[08:35] ---**
Hurry and get out of here!
**[08:37] ---**
An Infernal just spoke!
**[08:49] ---**
Hey, your honor. How dare you decide
what's going to happen to me.
**[08:54] ---**
But I said you were innocent
and set you free, didn't I?
**[08:58] ---**
Shut up! *I'm* the one doing the judging now!
**[09:09] ---**
Captain Obi! About the Infernal
in Taito-ku, Ueno District...
**[09:14] ---**
He has a sense of self?
**[09:20] ---**
Fascinating. I want him, whatever it takes.
**[09:24] ---**
Crunch!
**[09:25] ---**
--To the control room!
--Crunch...
**[09:28] ---**
Where are Shinra and Arthur?
**[09:36] ---**
An Infernal has appeared.
**[09:38] ---**
Emergency vehicles are now passing through.
**[09:41] ---**
All other traffic, please pull
to the side and clear a path.
**[09:46] ---**
An emergency dispatch?
**[09:48] ---**
The Matchbox!
**[09:52] ---**
Shinra! Arthur! I know you're in the area!
**[09:56] ---**
Wander out without permission, will you?!
**[09:58] ---**
When we get back, you're getting disciplined
until you can't move anymore!
**[10:03] ---**
--Huh?!
--Huh?!
**[10:04] ---**
I'm sorry, both of you! I'm sorry!
**[10:07] ---**
--I couldn't tell him I sent you. I'll do anything.
Ramen is on me. Forgive me--
**[10:08] ---**
--Maki-*san*, what's the matter?
--I couldn't tell him I sent you. I'll do anything.
Ramen is on me. Forgive me--
**[10:13] ---**
Mamoru-*kun*, I'm sorry,
but you have to take over!
**[10:16] ---**
*Látom*.
**[10:19] ---**
See you, Arthur! I'm going on ahead!
**[10:25] ---**
Ah! What are you doing?!
**[10:27] ---**
Take me with you.
**[10:29] ---**
Hiyo Silver!
**[10:32] ---**
Why, you... I'm honestly,
seriously... honestly...
**[10:37] ---**
...seriously...
**[10:52] ---**
Shinra! Arthur!
**[10:54] ---**
What are you doing?! This is a public road!
**[10:57] ---**
N-Never mind about that,
an Infernal has appeared, right?
**[11:02] ---**
A murder defendant at Ueno District Court
has become an Infernal.
**[11:07] ---**
He's apparently attacking people right now.
**[11:09] ---**
You two hurry on ahead to the scene!
**[11:12] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:13] ---**
Saving lives is your top priority!
**[11:16] ---**
Roger!
**[11:24] ---**
"Ueno District Courthouse"
**[11:33] ---**
I am your lawyer! I'm on your side, right?
**[11:38] ---**
That's right. As a firefighter,
I used to save people like this.
**[11:45] ---**
I just saved your life.
**[11:48] ---**
One might say that it now
belongs to me, right?
**[11:55] ---**
That means I can do
whatever I want with you, right?
**[12:02] ---**
Stop that!
**[12:03] ---**
God have mercy!
**[12:08] ---**
What the hell--
**[12:13] ---**
What the hell--
**[12:18] ---**
What the hell is your problem?!
**[12:20] ---**
Because of you, Mamoru-*kun* got
hoorayed up into a tree!
**[12:24] ---**
Yeah!
**[12:26] ---**
Huh? *That's* your beef?
**[12:28] ---**
Ah, so you're Special Fire Soldiers.
**[12:32] ---**
You're a murderous gang of
bogus helper-men, aren't you?
**[12:35] ---**
How nice. I'm a bit jealous.
**[12:39] ---**
We're here, too!
**[12:41] ---**
Sputter Comet!
**[12:45] ---**
Sputter Comet-*san*!
**[12:47] ---**
He really is speaking, huh?
Is his sense of self intact?
**[12:51] ---**
When one's attachment to
life and will is strong enough,
**[12:54] ---**
their character in life still remains,
**[12:57] ---**
but I've never seen it go this far.
**[12:59] ---**
So there's no way to escape, eh?
All right! I surrender!
**[13:05] ---**
What?
**[13:06] ---**
If you're not a murderous gang,
then you'll let me off, right?
**[13:10] ---**
I was found not guilty at my trial.
You can't very well kill me. Right?
**[13:19] ---**
Unfortunately, I'm not so good-natured
as to pardon scum like you.
**[13:26] ---**
You really *are* a gang of murderers!
**[13:33] ---**
Damn.
**[13:35] ---**
I'm gonna go around killing people
the way you guys kill Infernals!
**[13:40] ---**
Captain Obi!
**[13:41] ---**
After him, Shinra! You're the only one
who can catch up to him!
**[13:46] ---**
But, sir, he's... self-aware.
**[13:49] ---**
He's no longer human.
I know how you feel, but...
**[13:54] ---**
Captain...
**[13:57] ---**
Shinra...
**[13:59] ---**
...pay no heed to what he says.
**[14:02] ---**
Dispose of him.
**[14:05] ---**
Okay, get going!
**[14:06] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[14:09] ---**
Dispose of... Put to rest...
someone who's self-aware...
**[14:17] ---**
Hinawa, I'm sorry.
**[14:20] ---**
It's okay.
**[14:21] ---**
Please always remain our shining light.
**[14:26] ---**
"Taito-ku, Ueno"
**[14:28] ---**
"13:54:46"
**[14:28] ---**
"13:54:47"
**[14:29] ---**
"13:54:48"
**[14:31] ---**
If I don't do this, other innocent people
are going to get hurt.
**[14:37] ---**
I'll do it!
**[14:40] ---**
I'll put him to rest!
**[14:46] ---**
"Taito-ku, Akihabara"
**[14:52] ---**
It's an Infernal!
**[14:53] ---**
--Get away from him!
--This city is almost like a toy box.
Who should I play with?
**[14:56] ---**
--This city is almost like a toy box.
Who should I play with?
**[15:12] ---**
Interrupt my good time, will you?
**[15:15] ---**
Do you have any idea how many people
I rescued in my firefighter days?
**[15:19] ---**
You can't fault me for killing a few of them
in my Infernal days, right?
**[15:24] ---**
You killed them during your
firefighter days, too, didn't you?
**[15:27] ---**
Can't you do addition
and subtraction, you idiot?
**[15:31] ---**
Those don't balance out
the number I saved, you idiot!
**[15:48] ---**
Who is this guy?
**[15:54] ---**
What is your deal, man?
**[15:59] ---**
Y-You're the devil...
**[16:05] ---**
Wrong.
**[16:06] ---**
I'm a hero!
**[16:08] ---**
"Onoden"
**[16:12] ---**
Observed a second Adolla Burst
from the subject rookie.
**[16:18] ---**
That rookie is the real jackpot.
**[16:20] ---**
But it would be a waste to extinguish
an Infernal with a sense of self.
**[16:25] ---**
Move to retrieve him!
**[16:27] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
**[16:30] ---**
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[16:33] ---**
W-Wait! Hold on a second!
**[16:36] ---**
I can't offer a sister's prayer,
but this is good enough for you.
**[16:40] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[16:42] ---**
I-I'm still afraid to die!
**[16:44] ---**
At least let my end be met with
a sister's prayer of peace! Please!
**[16:53] ---**
Aw, what the hell. The sister and the others
are probably headed here now.
**[16:58] ---**
Until they get here, stay still and repent.
**[17:01] ---**
Yeah, I'll do that.
**[17:10] ---**
Irredeemable scum.
**[17:12] ---**
Damn you! Hero my ass!
**[17:16] ---**
Shut up! You shut your mouth!
I'm putting you to rest!
**[17:30] ---**
Special Fire Force Company 5
Captain, Princess Hibana.
***SIGN*** "Captain" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Princess Hibana"
**[17:39] ---**
The 5th will dispose of this Infernal.
**[17:42] ---**
Hey, what is this?! Let me go!
**[17:46] ---**
Take him away!
**[17:47] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[17:48] ---**
Hold it! The 8th is putting him to rest!
**[17:51] ---**
Don't try to swoop in
and do whatever you feel like!
**[17:53] ---**
I am a captain. Are you defying me?
**[17:57] ---**
You are not *my* superior!
**[18:06] ---**
Damn it.
**[18:08] ---**
What the hell did you do?
**[18:10] ---**
You low-level 8th gravel grit.
**[18:13] ---**
Gravel should lie spread on
the ground like gravel.
**[18:17] ---**
None of the crunch, crunch,
crunch of your fussing.
**[18:19] ---**
The only time you make a sound
is when I step on you, gravel grit.
**[18:25] ---**
Lick it.
**[18:27] ---**
You people at the 5th are
a bit domineering, aren't you?
**[18:31] ---**
I said lick it.
**[18:33] ---**
I'm speaking to you seriously!
**[18:44] ---**
Hold him down!
**[18:47] ---**
--5th's Angels Three, on the scene!
--5th's Angels Three, on the scene!
**[18:54] ---**
Out of the way! Move!
**[19:02] ---**
Hey! Fire Soldiers are supposed to
keep the people safe, right?
**[19:06] ---**
What are you guys at the 5th doing?!
**[19:09] ---**
It's one kid who fell on his caboose.
It's not like he got burned.
**[19:20] ---**
You'd even joke about burning a kid, lady?
**[19:25] ---**
Ho...
**[19:26] ---**
Let me show you what a Fire Soldier is.
**[19:29] ---**
Bring it on, 5th!
**[19:32] ---**
I, Shinra Kusakabe, Second Class Fire Soldier
from the 8th, will take you on!
**[19:37] ---**
This ought to be good.
**[19:45] ---**
Shinra!
**[19:52] ---**
It's unusual for an Infernal to be
as self-aware as this one.
**[19:56] ---**
It would also be a waste
to dispose of him like this.
**[19:59] ---**
The 5th will secure him.
**[20:02] ---**
This is the 8th's jurisdiction.
**[20:04] ---**
Don't you think you're being
a bit presumptuous?
**[20:06] ---**
The moment he Infernalized,
he became officially deceased,
**[20:10] ---**
and putting him to rest
will return him to ashes.
**[20:13] ---**
That being the case, I see no problem
in taking his body in as-is.
**[20:18] ---**
Besides, the 8th is a new facility;
**[20:21] ---**
I understand you don't even
have a science team.
**[20:23] ---**
This is a precious specimen.
**[20:26] ---**
Wouldn't taking him back to the 5th
represent an important step
**[20:29] ---**
toward solving the mystery
of human combustion?
**[20:34] ---**
You intend to share the results
of your investigation with us, yes?
**[20:38] ---**
Absolutely I will!
**[20:44] ---**
Very well.
**[20:46] ---**
The 5th can take over from here.
**[20:49] ---**
Whoo, how lame.
**[20:52] ---**
Huh?
***SIGN*** "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Toru Kishiri"
**[20:57] ---**
The captain of the 8th
is a no-talent nobody, right?
**[21:02] ---**
Seriously lame.
**[21:05] ---**
--What did you say?!
--You wanna go?!
**[21:07] ---**
Now Captain Nobody's flunkies are
butting in. Second-class nobodies.
**[21:11] ---**
--Shinra! Arthur!
--Why, you! I'll teach you!
--You're screwing with the wrong man!
**[21:14] ---**
--Why, you! I'll teach you!
--You're screwing with the wrong man!
**[21:32] ---**
Obi, if a Fire Soldier starts
sticking his nose in too deep,
**[21:38] ---**
it won't be the fire, but himself,
that gets extinguished.
**[21:42] ---**
You don't say. So I'm blowing smoke
in others' faces, am I?
**[21:47] ---**
Then again,
**[21:49] ---**
the flames of the 8th
won't be put out so easily.
**[22:06] ---**
Special Fire Force Company 5,
we're heading home!
**[22:09] ---**
**[22:11] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:09] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[01:42] ---**
Nee-*san*...
**[01:43] ---**
Huh?
**[01:46] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[01:49] ---**
Was she crying?
**[01:53] ---**
I really am sorry.
**[01:55] ---**
Th-That's okay. I was the one
being absent-minded.
**[01:59] ---**
Take care with your training, okay?
**[02:02] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[02:04] ---**
Well, if you'll excuse me...
**[02:08] ---**
Oh, um, Sister...?
**[02:12] ---**
Is there something troubling you?
**[02:18] ---**
Helping others out is a Fire Soldier's
whole purpose, so...
**[02:26] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[02:42] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[02:43] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to walking are weeded out*
**[02:47] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[02:50] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[02:52] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[02:54] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed to walking?*
**[02:57] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*

*but we're enveloped in warmth*

**[03:29] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*

**[03:40] ---**
*Playthings that make sounds*

**[04:01] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[04:11] ---**
After that little dustup
with the 5th yesterday,
**[04:13] ---**
you probably know this,
but that bunch is hinky.
**[04:17] ---**
We're going to investigate them,
and it may come to blows.
**[04:21] ---**
Captain Obi, that's no
longer physical training--
**[04:25] ---**
it's something physical-training adjacent.
**[04:31] ---**
Hinawa!
**[04:32] ---**
Our primary objective
is to put Infernals to rest,
**[04:36] ---**
and to keep the public safe.
**[04:38] ---**
However,
**[04:39] ---**
we must keep in mind the
8th's hidden objective
**[04:43] ---**
to investigate suspicious crew members
**[04:44] ---**
and find the means to oppose them, as well.
**[04:45] ---**
"Setsuko-in-the-Wall"
**[04:47] ---**
Like Captain Obi said...
**[04:48] ---**
I'm so distracted by his cap,
I can't hear a word he's saying.
**[04:54] ---**
Damn you, griffin!
Attack my castle again, will you?
**[04:58] ---**
I'll tarnish Excalibur with your blood!
**[05:01] ---**
You really are an idiot.
**[05:04] ---**
Say what you want, but please don't
take down that adorable griffin.
**[05:10] ---**
You'll be arrested for violating
the wildlife protection laws.
**[05:13] ---**
You're pretty dangerous
yourself, there, Maki-*san*.
**[05:17] ---**
Then again, 90% of the time,
Maki-*san* is cool, beautiful, and lovely.
**[05:22] ---**
It's just a shame about the other 10%.
**[05:24] ---**
A shame...?
**[05:26] ---**
Hey, you people, this is an
important meeting. No idle chatter.
**[05:32] ---**
Lieutenant! Please don't point
your gun at us, even as a joke!
**[05:35] ---**
Do I look like the kind of man who jokes?
**[05:38] ---**
Huh?
**[05:42] ---**
*Látom*.
**[05:43] ---**
My leg! My... leg...
**[05:49] ---**
There's nothing there.
**[05:51] ---**
But how? An airgun...?
**[05:55] ---**
No, it's a real gun.
**[05:58] ---**
Lieutenant Hinawa is a
second generation, like me.
**[06:02] ---**
He can't start fires on his own,
but he is able to control them.
**[06:06] ---**
He weakened the gunpowder's explosive force
**[06:07] ---**
so that when he shot you,
it was with nonlethal force.
**[06:11] ---**
"Weakened"
**[06:14] ---**
Unlike Infernals, when you face a
hostile second or third generation,
**[06:19] ---**
there's no telling what they might do.
**[06:21] ---**
We're going to start
going up against them, too.
**[06:23] ---**
Arthur, you're an idiot,
so that goes double for you.
**[06:31] ---**
I'm a man who slays dragons.
**[06:34] ---**
You'll have to *find* a dragon first, though.
**[06:38] ---**
Training starts now. I'm going to
push the hell out of you.
**[06:42] ---**
Don't focus only up top!
Watch your opponent's whole body!
**[06:47] ---**
Lieutenant,
**[06:48] ---**
I can't stand how the 5th would
even joke about burning civilians.
**[06:54] ---**
Who is that Captain Princess, anyway?
**[06:57] ---**
Third-generation Fire
Soldier, Princess Hibana.
**[07:01] ---**
She rose out of nowhere from Haijima,
and landed in her current position.
**[07:06] ---**
From what I've learned,
she seems to have gotten where she is
**[07:09] ---**
by illegally researching Infernals
and selling away her data.
**[07:13] ---**
In that case, she might already know
the cause behind human combustion!
**[07:18] ---**
She has enough data to allow an upstart
like her to become a captain, at least.
**[07:23] ---**
We're planning on using force to get it, too.
**[07:26] ---**
We're getting into the 5th,
even if it means violence.
**[07:29] ---**
Your feet and Arthur's plasma
will be useful to that end.
**[07:32] ---**
Forget the data,
I'm just in it to smash the 5th.
**[07:36] ---**
"Special Fire Force Complex 5"
**[07:42] ---**
Please, stop, already!
**[07:45] ---**
Gravel! Gravel! Gravel!
**[07:50] ---**
Silence! Your body is the one I'm talking to!
**[07:53] ---**
Tell me everything about yourself
that I don't already know!
**[07:56] ---**
Both you and everything
that's not you is all gravel!
**[08:00] ---**
Lay the foundation for my happiness,
you gravel scum!
**[08:05] ---**
It's coming out! It's coming out!
**[08:07] ---**
What do I care, you piece of crap?
Keep on screaming, you nobody.
**[08:11] ---**
Lie there on the ground for
my strong, beautiful self, gravel!
**[08:27] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
**[08:30] ---**
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[08:34] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
**[08:38] ---**
...return to the great flame of fire.
**[08:41] ---**
*Látom*.
**[09:09] ---**
I ought to know.
**[09:12] ---**
That smile was strained. Did something
happen with those 5th guys?
**[09:21] ---**
Hey, Arthur, do you know if
something's up with the sister?
**[09:24] ---**
What? The princess has appointed me
commander of the order?
**[09:28] ---**
You look absolutely
ridiculous when you sleep.
**[09:36] ---**
What's up? Is something wrong
with the princess?
**[09:39] ---**
Stop calling the sister a princess.
Besides, what about Maki-*san*?
**[09:44] ---**
--That woman is an ogress--
**[09:45] ---**
--Shinra!
--That woman is an ogress--
**[09:48] ---**
What brings you here?
**[09:51] ---**
Do either of you know where the sister went?
**[09:54] ---**
Huh?
**[09:55] ---**
"Episode 5:
The Battle Begins"
**[10:03] ---**
I beg your pardon.
**[10:05] ---**
What is a sister doing here at this hour?
**[10:08] ---**
Would it be possible for me
to see your captain?
**[10:10] ---**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[10:13] ---**
Please tell your captain that Iris is here.
**[10:18] ---**
Something I can do for you,
little Miss Have-not?
**[10:22] ---**
I'm not entirely sure what you're doing,
but it's dangerous, isn't it?
**[10:27] ---**
It's also corrupt research
that defies the great Sol!
**[10:31] ---**
Are those really your ideals?
**[10:36] ---**
Nee-*san*...
**[10:38] ---**
Do not wear that habit in front of me!
**[10:48] ---**
Nee-*san*, why?!
**[10:51] ---**
Sisters are nothing but window
dressing for the Fire Force.
**[10:55] ---**
And you've devoted yourself to this nonsense.
**[10:57] ---**
Once a fool, always a fool, I guess.
**[11:01] ---**
Don't talk to me about God.
**[11:03] ---**
What you all worship is a hollow
puppet that doesn't even exist.
**[11:07] ---**
What we have in this land,
and across the world, isn't God.
**[11:11] ---**
We only have devils such as myself.
**[11:15] ---**
Devils...
**[11:29] ---**
I'll use you to lure the 8th here,
and then crush them.
**[11:36] ---**
What was that? A mortar?
**[11:38] ---**
Something came down out of the sky!
**[11:41] ---**
Who are you?!
**[11:43] ---**
Who am I? Well, let's see...
**[11:47] ---**
I'm Find-the-Sister-and-Crush-the-5th Man,
from Company 8!
**[12:28] ---**
Lieutenant! Are you sure we
should be acting so rashly?!
**[12:32] ---**
The 5th has long been carrying out
some pretty shady research here.
**[12:36] ---**
It's not exactly like they
can file any reports!
**[12:51] ---**
Shinra, you find the sister.
Maki and I will take care of things here.
**[12:56] ---**
Just the two of you, against all of them?
**[12:58] ---**
Once you get inside and start tearing it up,
**[13:01] ---**
we'll have more room to move, too.
**[13:03] ---**
Go!
**[13:04] ---**
Right!
**[13:05] ---**
Arthur! Keep going! We'll cover you!
**[13:08] ---**
You watch yourself, too, Lieutenant.
**[13:12] ---**
Here he comes!
**[13:20] ---**
You won't get past me!
**[13:22] ---**
He's fast!
**[13:27] ---**
Discount not; it was the back of my sword.
**[13:29] ---**
"Discount"
**[13:29] ---**
"Discount"
"Despair"
**[13:37] ---**
A-After him! Don't let him get away!
**[13:39] ---**
Don't think you can escape my discipline!
**[13:45] ---**
Run!
**[14:01] ---**
Lieutenant, as usual, you seem to be
more merciless against people
**[14:04] ---**
than you ever are against Infernals.
**[14:07] ---**
I didn't join the Special Fire Force,
I joined the 8th under Captain Obi
**[14:12] ---**
so I could lay out the idiots of this land
who won't listen to reason.
**[14:17] ---**
You pound on them, too, Maki. Pound on them
until they give you the location
**[14:22] ---**
of the spontaneous combustion research data.
**[14:24] ---**
I left the military and joined the Fire Force
because I wanted to save lives.
**[14:31] ---**
So I'm not big on man-to-man fighting.
**[14:34] ---**
You *did* hit that rookie
from the 5th earlier, right?
**[14:37] ---**
That was just a light tap.
**[14:40] ---**
That devil sure can move when he's
running away. I can't see where he went.
**[14:50] ---**
Devil's Footprints.
**[14:55] ---**
Are you following the
Devil's Footprints, too?
**[14:59] ---**
Who are you, old-timer? A conehead?
**[15:02] ---**
It's dangerous here. Go back to your farm.
**[15:04] ---**
I can't have you snooping
around the 5th like this.
**[15:09] ---**
I'll kill you.
**[15:11] ---**
Aren't you...?
**[15:15] ---**
By administering a drug
I've been researching,
**[15:17] ---**
I've boosted this Infernal's firepower.
**[15:21] ---**
I'm tickled to have found
such a fine specimen.
**[15:25] ---**
We meet again, murderer.
I'll take my sword and... my sword and...
**[15:32] ---**
...my sword to...
**[15:44] ---**
Those small-timers from the 8th
are too big for their britches.
**[15:49] ---**
What is that?
**[15:52] ---**
Lieutenant, get back!
***SIGN*** That was some tremendous firepower.
**[16:01] ---**
Heh, heh, 8th nobodies.
**[16:03] ---**
I just blow some flammable gas
into my zero-oxygen bubble gum,
**[16:08] ---**
send it toward my target,
**[16:10] ---**
pop the bubble,
**[16:11] ---**
--Here comes another one.
--and when the flammable gas
hits fresh oxygen...
**[16:12] ---**
--Please stay back.
--and when the flammable gas
hits fresh oxygen...
**[16:13] ---**
--and when the flammable gas
hits fresh oxygen...
**[16:15] ---**
...it explodes!
**[16:18] ---**
That's what's known as Toru Kishiri's
Backdraft Bubblish Gum!
**[16:19] ---**
"Backdraft Bubblish Gum"
**[16:23] ---**
And another, and another, and another!
**[16:28] ---**
Maki, where are we being attacked from?
**[16:32] ---**
From that warehouse. The target
must be inside. I can't be sure.
**[16:37] ---**
That's good enough.
**[16:42] ---**
"Ballistic control"
**[16:48] ---**
Lame. What are you even aiming at?
**[16:50] ---**
From the sparks generated on impact,
I tweak each bullet again.
**[16:55] ---**
"Ricochet control"
**[16:59] ---**
What...?
**[17:12] ---**
Pathetic. It takes more than
this to stop my rookies.
**[17:16] ---**
Maki, we're going to get these crewmen
to give up where the documents are.
**[17:20] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[17:22] ---**
Hold it!
**[17:25] ---**
5th Angels Three...
**[17:27] ---**
--On the scene!
--Has arrived!
--Breaking in!
**[17:29] ---**
Have you made your peace?
**[17:32] ---**
Finding yourself alone in an enemy's base
**[17:34] ---**
shows that the meager 8th is
as undermanned as our intel says.
**[17:39] ---**
The Infernal that my research has
fortified will reduce you to cinders.
**[17:46] ---**
He's my new weapon that can focus
his augmented firepower into one point,
**[17:50] ---**
and then release it!
**[17:54] ---**
Leave neither a body nor ashes, now.
**[17:59] ---**
Thanks to your drug, the flame and
power within my body are surging,
**[18:04] ---**
until they're ready to come out!
**[18:12] ---**
That was close.
**[18:14] ---**
Hey, you! Are you trying to
turn me into knight teriyaki?!
**[18:17] ---**
Teriyaki? What kind of seasoning
do you think you're basted in?
**[18:25] ---**
I alight upon the scorched earth,
**[18:28] ---**
clad in golden robes...
**[18:30] ---**
Huh? Are you talking about tempura now?!
**[18:36] ---**
What are you, an idiot?
**[18:38] ---**
I'm a knight.
**[18:43] ---**
Status?
**[18:46] ---**
The Angels vs. Hinawa,
Arthur vs. the Infernal,
**[18:51] ---**
and Obi is nowhere to be seen at the moment.
**[18:54] ---**
Like moths flying into a flame.
**[18:57] ---**
Burn them all until there's nothing left.
**[19:00] ---**
The truth and the intrigue behind
spontaneous human combustion...
**[19:03] ---**
...are all the result of our research.
**[19:06] ---**
I won't allow gravel to stand in my way.
**[19:12] ---**
Are you seriously a Special Fire Soldier?
You got cold feet?
**[19:16] ---**
You're not putting up a fight.
**[19:23] ---**
Don't act like this is no big deal.
**[19:34] ---**
What's the matter with you?
You're only acting like you're tough,
**[19:37] ---**
when actually, you're
ridiculously weak! And stupid!
**[19:41] ---**
Why is this? Why am I not my usual self?
**[19:44] ---**
It's not a question of your manner.
**[19:47] ---**
My Infernal's firepower
is just too strong for you.
**[19:51] ---**
There are chumps who just say
they're out of the zone or whatever,
**[19:55] ---**
when really, they couldn't ever do anything
in the first place, and run away.
**[20:00] ---**
It's exactly the kind of excuse
you bogus Fire Soldiers would use!
**[20:04] ---**
Bunch of moronic nobodies!
**[20:06] ---**
What?
**[20:09] ---**
The newly-assigned rookie can't even
fathom how outmatched he is.
**[20:16] ---**
Then he blames it on
having a bad day. Pathetic.
**[20:19] ---**
An idiot who can only talk tough, a knight?
**[20:22] ---**
Good one, coming from
a behind-in-the-count loser!
**[20:26] ---**
I'm not just a knight; I'm the Knight King!
**[20:29] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:35] ---**
The least I can do for a nosy nobody like you
**[20:38] ---**
is to kill you while making you suffer!
**[20:43] ---**
Why? I'm getting no power at all.
**[20:50] ---**
My left? Why, when I'm right-handed,
am I holding it in my left hand?
**[20:56] ---**
Huh?! How should I know?!
**[20:58] ---**
You can use that excuse
when you get to the afterlife!
**[21:14] ---**
Violet Flash.
**[21:25] ---**
What do you know?
I thought something was strange.
**[21:29] ---**
What the hell?
**[21:31] ---**
He's ridiculously strong!
**[21:35] ---**
5th Angels Three Three-on-Three
Triple-grating Slasher, ver. 2.3!
**[21:42] ---**
That's way too many... numbers!
**[21:48] ---**
There are more than just
three 5th Angels Three?
**[21:52] ---**
Looks like that's all of them, though.
**[21:57] ---**
I wonder if Shinra and
the others are doing okay.
**[22:01] ---**
While Shinra is dashing around,
we'll look for their documents.
**[22:15] ---**
In here.

Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...

But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...

Pardon the intrusion!
**[00:38] ---**
This is a great chance to see how far
I can go up against a company captain.
**[00:47] ---**
But I don't see any chance of winning
unless I can deal with that ability.

"Episode 6:
The Spark of Promise"
**[02:57] ---**
Iris, sit there and watch your allies
from the 8th get burned up.
**[03:03] ---**
Why, nee-*san*?!
**[03:05] ---**
Go ahead and pray to the God
of salvation you favor so much.
**[03:08] ---**
In this world, you either burn or get burned.
**[03:11] ---**
I'm someone in the "burn" camp.
**[03:15] ---**
You saw the other nuns engulfed in
flames and disintegrating in misery.
**[03:34] ---**
Luckily for me, my third-generation
abilities manifested.
**[03:38] ---**
I took up with those who burn.
**[03:40] ---**
I will burn gravel lesser than myself
to cinders until they are consumed,
**[03:44] ---**
and stand on their ashes to rise even higher.
**[03:48] ---**
That is what mankind's happiness is.
**[03:51] ---**
Whatever you gain from doing that
can never be called happiness--
**[03:54] ---**
You're just spouting your platitudes,
waiting to be burned up!
**[04:00] ---**
You leave the sister alone!
**[04:05] ---**
The hero has arrived.
**[04:08] ---**
I'll start by burning him up.
Stay there and watch.
**[04:12] ---**
Shinra-*san*, run! As strong as you are,
you can't beat the captain!
**[04:17] ---**
It's all right, Sister.
**[04:22] ---**
Things aren't gonna go like last time.
**[04:24] ---**
Gravel,
**[04:26] ---**
you haven't forgotten, have you?
You can't lay a finger on me.
**[04:32] ---**
We'll never know unless I try.
**[04:39] ---**
Shinra-*san*!
**[04:40] ---**
Once again, you're on the ground.
You really *are* gravel!
**[04:45] ---**
Damn, I'm so lightheaded...
**[04:51] ---**
Wh-What is this...?
**[04:54] ---**
Heat syncope.
**[04:56] ---**
Heat syncope...?
**[04:58] ---**
Your body is currently enveloped
in heat of my making.
**[05:03] ---**
What?
**[05:04] ---**
That heat is making your blood vessels
dilate and your pressure drop.
**[05:08] ---**
The blood flowing to your
brain has fallen sharply.
**[05:12] ---**
That's making you lightheaded.
**[05:14] ---**
For someone who showed up so
enthusiastic about being a hero
**[05:17] ---**
to stumble and fall over a
little heat wave is laughable.
**[05:27] ---**
Lightheaded?
**[05:29] ---**
Oh...
**[05:32] ---**
Then I've got this whole
situation wrong, don't I?
**[05:40] ---**
What do you have wrong?
**[05:42] ---**
You really *are* unsteady on your feet, right?
**[05:46] ---**
The palpitations, shortness of breath,
and dizziness are all in my head!
**[05:50] ---**
Looks to me like you're just
grinning and bearing it.
**[05:53] ---**
Besides, the biggest illusion you're under
is believing that you're a hero, isn't it?
**[06:05] ---**
Right now, I'm lightheaded
in reality, *and* in my mind.
**[06:09] ---**
So misguided or not, I can be a hero, too.
**[06:14] ---**
Ridiculous. There's no way
you should be able to stand.
**[06:17] ---**
Compared to the drills Lieutenant Hinawa
put me through, this is nothing.
**[06:25] ---**
Fine, then. It's no fun burning up
an opponent who can't fight back.
**[06:29] ---**
Clematis!
**[06:32] ---**
You can be immolated by my red-hot flowers.
**[06:35] ---**
Nee-*san*, you can't still be--
**[06:37] ---**
Keep quiet and watch.
**[06:47] ---**
Princess Hibana, aren't *you* the one
laboring under the wrong assumption?
**[06:52] ---**
What?
**[06:53] ---**
Yeah. Tonight...
**[06:58] ---**
...I'm Deluded-Lady-Wakeup-Call Man!
**[07:01] ---**
You're saying I'm mistaken?
**[07:04] ---**
Could be. That's just the
way it looks from here.
**[07:10] ---**
Screw you!
**[07:31] ---**
So your dizziness is all in your head, is it?
**[07:33] ---**
You still haven't recovered your sense
of balance, and you're staggering around!
**[07:41] ---**
Damn it!
**[07:42] ---**
How can you call yourself a hero like this?
**[07:45] ---**
Let me open your eyes and
show you how pathetic you are.
**[07:57] ---**
Sakura!
**[08:19] ---**
Writhe! Dance!
**[08:21] ---**
Stop this already, nee-*san*!
**[08:22] ---**
If you want me to stop,
go ahead and pray to God!
**[08:26] ---**
You do know, don't you, that there is no God,
let alone heroes, in this world?
**[08:31] ---**
That's not true.
**[08:33] ---**
If you pray with all your heart,
you can find comfort,
**[08:37] ---**
and people have been saved by it!
**[08:38] ---**
That's not real salvation!
**[08:41] ---**
Then are you saying
there is no salvation in life?
**[08:45] ---**
Yeah, there is.
**[08:47] ---**
Exploiting and outsmarting
others for your own success,
**[08:51] ---**
and looking down on the
foolish slugs from above.
**[08:54] ---**
What you see from up there is
impotent gravel, gravel, gravel!
**[08:59] ---**
It's fantastic knowing that you
weren't scum, and were saved.
**[09:05] ---**
The standing and money you get from
being there is a person's salvation.
**[09:09] ---**
How so?! You prayed with us
every day at the convent, remember?
**[09:14] ---**
Sure I did. And what
salvation came as a result?
**[09:24] ---**
The convent took in all of us orphans.
**[09:32] ---**
Every day, we devoted ourselves to God.
**[09:35] ---**
Amid all of it, I was the only one
who didn't take it seriously.
**[09:40] ---**
And then, that day...
**[09:48] ---**
...the other sisters suddenly burned up.
**[09:51] ---**
All of them, except you and me.
**[09:56] ---**
They were all devout nuns,
who served God better than I did.
**[10:01] ---**
You realize, don't you,
that nothing ever comes of our lives.
**[10:06] ---**
The fact that I'm still alive
like this is proof above all else!
**[10:12] ---**
People can only grow stronger
for their own ends.
**[10:15] ---**
Seeking salvation without growing stronger?
**[10:18] ---**
You might as well ask for the moon, too!
**[10:23] ---**
The fact that lowly gravel seeks
salvation with everyone else
**[10:27] ---**
is misplaced in its own right.
**[10:31] ---**
Princess Hibana, you're a victim
of the flames, too, aren't you?
**[10:36] ---**
Are you still here, you would-be hero?
**[10:41] ---**
I have a little bit of
an idea of how you feel.
**[10:45] ---**
I'm someone whose life was
messed up by flames, too.
**[10:49] ---**
What can you hope to know?
**[10:53] ---**
Sakura Blizzard!
**[11:03] ---**
This time, bow down on the
ground like the gravel you are!
**[11:15] ---**
I can't let myself collapse here.
**[11:20] ---**
The heat syncope...
**[11:22] ---**
I will get back up as often as it takes,
and each time, I won't be beaten.
**[11:27] ---**
For your sake.
**[11:31] ---**
Wh-What are you talking about?
Are you losing your mind?!
**[11:34] ---**
Listen to me.
**[11:36] ---**
I'm about to lay you out.
That, along with all the rest of this...
**[11:41] ---**
...is for your own good!
**[11:46] ---**
If you want what's good for me,
then burn up, already!
**[11:50] ---**
You piece of know-nothing gravel,
you're spewing nonsense!
**[11:53] ---**
There are flames that burn the body...
**[11:56] ---**
...but there are also flames that light
the way, and flames that warm you up!
**[12:00] ---**
There's no such things
as heroes in this world!
**[12:04] ---**
Well, it's because there are
no heroes in this world...
**[12:09] ---**
...that I'm telling you I'm gonna be a hero!
**[12:14] ---**
I am... Deluded-Lady...
**[12:18] ---**
...Wakeup-Call Man!
**[12:43] ---**
Wow, how pretty!
**[12:45] ---**
That's amazing, Sister Hibana.
**[12:48] ---**
Watch this, Sister Clematis.
**[12:52] ---**
When I add a little sodium solution,
the flames react to it.
**[13:02] ---**
It turned yellow!
**[13:04] ---**
This one is copper.
**[13:12] ---**
Watch this, Sister Sakura.
**[13:14] ---**
Calcium.
**[13:21] ---**
I also have potassium,
and strontium, and some others.
**[13:27] ---**
How pretty!
**[13:29] ---**
They all look so great!
**[13:31] ---**
What do you think? Flames are
incredibly pretty, aren't they?
**[13:35] ---**
Yes!
**[13:36] ---**
Sister Hibana, I want to be like you.
**[13:39] ---**
You can control flames,
and you're good at science.
**[13:54] ---**
Iris! Don't hide behind there,
**[13:57] ---**
come here and have a closer look.
**[14:12] ---**
Careful. They may be in the shape
of flowers, but they're still flames.
**[14:17] ---**
You'll get burned.
**[14:21] ---**
See here!
**[14:23] ---**
Sister Hibana, are you playing
with your pyrokinesis again?
**[14:28] ---**
Come now, everyone, into the chapel.
**[14:32] ---**
Yes, Sister Sumire.
**[14:36] ---**
You, too, Sister Hibana.
**[14:38] ---**
That ability was bestowed
upon you by the great Sol.
**[14:42] ---**
Moreover, if you mishandle those
flames, it can be very dangerous.
**[14:47] ---**
I'm being careful with
them, so it's all right.
**[14:50] ---**
There you go, saying that again.
**[14:53] ---**
Head inside, now.
**[14:56] ---**
Okay.
**[15:07] ---**
Um, Sister Hibana...
**[15:11] ---**
I, uh...
**[15:13] ---**
What?
**[15:15] ---**
I, uh... I, uh...
**[15:24] ---**
I want you to show me
the flowers again sometime.
**[15:36] ---**
I'll show them to you once you
get over your shyness.
**[15:41] ---**
Do you mean it?
**[15:54] ---**
The sound of someone's
body burning; that person's cries;
**[15:58] ---**
the pain of the flames; the suffering,
as their life burns away...
**[16:06] ---**
What do you think? Flames are
incredibly pretty, aren't they?
**[16:13] ---**
As if...
**[16:16] ---**
flames could be pretty...
**[16:23] ---**
Let's go. We have to get away,
or we'll burn up, too.
**[16:43] ---**
As if this ability were
bestowed by the great Sol.
**[16:47] ---**
Flames are the devil himself, aren't they?
**[16:51] ---**
And since I'm able to use that power...
**[16:54] ---**
A devil should act like a devil.
**[16:58] ---**
Nee-*san*...
**[17:01] ---**
...where are you going?
**[17:04] ---**
Iris...
**[17:09] ---**
Don't get yourself burned up by flames.
**[17:17] ---**
I'll exploit them--people,
flames, and whatever else.
**[17:22] ---**
"Haijima Industries"
**[17:27] ---**
That's just a little slice. I'll turn it
all over, on certain conditions.
**[17:32] ---**
I want the rank of captain.
And you'll provide me
**[17:36] ---**
with the platform and funding
to carry on my experiments.
**[17:50] ---**
Why?
**[17:54] ---**
When everyone at the convent
had no one else to turn to,
**[17:57] ---**
you were the one we looked up to.
**[17:59] ---**
You were beautiful, and smart,
and you could control flames.
**[18:04] ---**
When we were lonely and anxious,
you were our hero.
**[18:13] ---**
I didn't have anyone. The only thing
that propped me up were my flames.
**[18:19] ---**
But then, even they turned on me.
**[18:32] ---**
I don't have anything now.
**[18:43] ---**
You've got a hero, right here.
**[18:48] ---**
Look up to the skies and cry out my name!
I'll come save you anytime!
**[18:56] ---**
Don't be absurd.
What makes you obliged to help me?
**[19:02] ---**
I don't need to be obliged.
**[19:04] ---**
When someone is in trouble, I go help them.
That's what a hero does, right?
**[19:16] ---**
Whatever the case, you beat me.
I don't intend to fight you anymore.
**[19:22] ---**
"Ping ping"
**[19:27] ---**
You think I've overcome my shyness a little?
**[19:33] ---**
For crying out loud, Iris.
**[19:36] ---**
After you come waltzing into
this place all on your own?
**[19:41] ---**
I just wanted you to show me
your pretty flowers again.
**[19:48] ---**
I did promise you, didn't I?
**[19:57] ---**
Are those...?
**[19:59] ---**
Yeah. Irises.
**[20:05] ---**
Nee-*san*, I love you!
**[20:11] ---**
"To be continued"

*You can toil your way through humorless days*

The guy in glasses... The guy in glasses...
**[21:54] ---**
Looks like you've gone around
doing a real number on us, 8th.
**[21:58] ---**
--Lieutenant Hinawa.
--Lieutenant Hinawa.
**[22:02] ---**
How am I going to explain this
whole mess to the higher-ups,
**[22:05] ---**
or to the gravel still sprawled out all over?
**[22:08] ---**
Captain Obi was apparently
going to make it look
**[22:11] ---**
like it was a joint nighttime
training exercise.
**[22:14] ---**
But you charged in before
that could happen, right?
**[22:18] ---**
If you keep that up all the time,
you're going to mess up sooner or later.
**[22:23] ---**
I just had a great idea!
**[22:25] ---**
What if the 5th and the 8th
all had a dinner party together?
**[22:30] ---**
Th-That might be a bit much.
**[22:32] ---**
Indeed. That sounds pretty good.
**[22:35] ---**
Huh?
**[22:37] ---**
Sometimes, when you're
trying to game someone,
**[22:39] ---**
the more ridiculous the method,
the easier it is to succeed.
**[22:42] ---**
I'll say that in order to test
the 5th's fighting strength,
**[22:44] ---**
I asked the 8th to play the bad guys
and stage a surprise attack drill.
**[22:50] ---**
Shinra, I'd like to set this up,
so round up the 8th's people for me.
**[22:56] ---**
You sure are being cooperative, huh?
**[23:02] ---**
Well... I've taken a liking to you...
**[23:07] ---**
Huh?
**[23:13] ---**
Chief, we're ahead of schedule,
but we've begun our investigation of the 5th.
**[23:18] ---**
Things may get a little aggressive,
so please lay the groundwork elsewhere.
**[23:35] ---**
Come in. Hinawa?
**[23:38] ---**
Yeah, I've been bogged down
getting this off the ground.
**[23:41] ---**
I'm on my way to you now.
**[23:44] ---**
Huh?
**[23:46] ---**
It's over?

Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...

But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...

The 8th and the 5th have carried
out a joint training exercise.
**[01:07] ---**
It seems overly contrived.
**[01:11] ---**
So Obi is finally making his move.
**[01:20] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[01:21] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*

*Where are the streets we're*

**[01:35] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*

*but we're enveloped in warmth*

**[02:51] ---**
Cook.
**[02:51] ---**
With the greatest of skill,
and the perfect amount of heat.
**[03:03] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
so much for coming and taking part
**[03:08] ---**
in the job-well-done party for the
nighttime joint 5th and 8th exercise
**[03:12] ---**
that was carried out the other night.
**[03:15] ---**
--The result of the exercise was
Captain Hibana throwing a fit\
**[03:15] ---**
--Ah, are we about to get chewed out again?
**[03:18] ---**
--as to how soft the 5th really is.
**[03:18] ---**
--Don't sound so happy about it.
**[03:23] ---**
Scumwad.
**[03:26] ---**
Gravel does not speak--does not
even *breathe* without permission!
**[03:29] ---**
You gravel grit!
**[03:30] ---**
Right, Shinra?
**[03:32] ---**
Crunch...
**[03:33] ---**
We appreciate you taking on a
weaker company such as ourselves...
**[03:41] ---**
Go ahead.
**[03:42] ---**
O-Okay.
**[03:47] ---**
There we are.
**[03:49] ---**
"5th Angels Three"
**[03:50] ---**
"5th Angels Three"
"Not 5th Angels Three"
**[03:54] ---**
Die, will-o-wisps!
**[03:56] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?!
**[03:58] ---**
The lieutenant told me that if you
play with fire, I was to kill them.
**[04:02] ---**
This is an informal party!
**[04:07] ---**
*Látom*.
**[04:20] ---**
All right, so you're saying we have
the 5th's full cooperation?
**[04:24] ---**
Not the 5th; me, personally.
**[04:27] ---**
The 5th may be a subsidiary outfit,
but it is paired with Haijima.
**[04:31] ---**
At present, it would be hard for the 8th
to confront Haijima head-on.
**[04:36] ---**
You were going to lead off
by exposing our research data
**[04:39] ---**
and bringing down the 5th, right?
**[04:42] ---**
Yeah, well...
**[04:44] ---**
How did you come by your intel on the 5th?
**[04:47] ---**
Were Iris's actions
something you factored in?
**[04:50] ---**
No, of course not. However,
she was my ace card against you.
**[04:59] ---**
Playing innocent, huh?
I don't appreciate that.
**[05:03] ---**
I doubt a musclebound gorilla like yourself
**[05:05] ---**
could understand the 5th's research.
**[05:08] ---**
Just be grateful that I'm working with you.
**[05:14] ---**
Why the change of heart?
**[05:17] ---**
I went through an incident that
made me despair of flames.
**[05:21] ---**
The more I learned about
this land--about this world,
**[05:24] ---**
the more I couldn't help
but grow more perverse.
**[05:27] ---**
And by growing more perverse,
**[05:28] ---**
I wanted to believe that I was
becoming stronger, and smarter.
**[05:33] ---**
That if I was to oppose
this crapfest of a world,
**[05:35] ---**
I had no choice but to fight evil with evil.
**[05:39] ---**
But then,
**[05:40] ---**
when I got clobbered by Shinra,
the self-professed hero, I remembered.
**[05:46] ---**
The warmth of flames. The
tenderness of justice.
**[05:51] ---**
I was put in touch once again with the
ideal of fighting the evil in the world.
**[05:56] ---**
Then, Princess, Shinra was a hero to you?
**[06:00] ---**
N-No, nothing of the sort at all!
**[06:04] ---**
He's our vaunted hero of the 8th.
**[06:07] ---**
I'm sure he'll bring to light the darkness
of a world held captive by flames.
**[06:14] ---**
Investigating each company and
pursuing the mystery of the flames
**[06:17] ---**
is the objective of the 8th, then?
**[06:19] ---**
Yeah. That's the reason why we
came by to steal the 5th's data.
**[06:23] ---**
We heard that you'd come across
something in your research
**[06:26] ---**
that would explain the cause
of human combustion.
**[06:29] ---**
Is that true?
**[06:32] ---**
Yeah. You can understand why I
would become a devil, too, right?
**[06:37] ---**
There's someone who is
deliberately creating Infernals.
**[06:41] ---**
Of course, not all spontaneous
human combustion in the world is such.
**[06:47] ---**
But there were some samples among my research
**[06:49] ---**
that were clearly different from the others.
**[06:52] ---**
So there really is someone out there
causing human combustion.
**[06:56] ---**
There's no way that stands.
I swear we'll find them!
**[07:01] ---**
My friends... the sisters, burned up.
**[07:06] ---**
If that was done at somebody's hand...
**[07:10] ---**
...then I swear, in the name of St. John's
wort and the malice it symbolizes,
**[07:14] ---**
that I will find them and burn them
by any means necessary.
**[07:21] ---**
Our objective is the same, then.
**[07:24] ---**
Hmm, much as I hate to admit it.
**[07:27] ---**
But your investigation is only
going to get harder from here.
**[07:31] ---**
How do you mean?
**[07:33] ---**
The Infernals that I suspect have
appeared by human means
**[07:36] ---**
are all concentrated around
the Shinjuku District.
**[07:39] ---**
That's... the 1st's jurisdiction.
**[07:42] ---**
"Episode 7:
The Investigation of the 1st Commences"
**[07:54] ---**
Nee-*san*, why are you at the 8th?
**[07:59] ---**
To make sure you grew up right, Iris.
**[08:02] ---**
Hey, that was a dirty move!
**[08:04] ---**
How rude. My body is nice and clean.
**[08:08] ---**
That isn't what I meant!
**[08:10] ---**
Must be nice for you two,
having girlish, willowy figures.
**[08:15] ---**
And *you* have a nicely-trained,
beautiful body, don't you?
**[08:20] ---**
Heh, heh, I-I do?
**[08:26] ---**
Nee-*san*,
**[08:27] ---**
you're about to do something
dangerous again, aren't you?
**[08:30] ---**
Yeah. I'm working together
with you to investigate the 1st.
**[08:35] ---**
It could mean war.
**[08:41] ---**
An undercover investigation of the 1st
**[08:43] ---**
using the rookie training
reassignment system?
**[08:46] ---**
That's pretty good thinking,
for a gorilla, Obi.
**[08:49] ---**
The rookie training reassignment system
**[08:51] ---**
is one that allows crew members
in their first year of service
**[08:55] ---**
to be temporarily assigned to other
companies to broaden their experience.
**[08:58] ---**
I'm going to have you two do an
undercover investigation of the 1st.
**[09:02] ---**
An undercover investigation
of the 1st? Arthur and me?
**[09:06] ---**
Within the 1st's jurisdiction,
**[09:08] ---**
there may be someone who is
artificially creating Infernals.
**[09:14] ---**
We want you to come up
with any leads you can.
**[09:16] ---**
It's an important mission to
help us crack human combustion.
**[09:20] ---**
I'm counting on both of you.
**[09:23] ---**
If there really is someone causing
human combustion, they'll pay for it.
**[09:28] ---**
It may seem unnatural if
there are only men from the 8th.
**[09:32] ---**
I'll send someone from my company, too.
**[09:34] ---**
I'll hit up other companies
I have connections with, too.
**[09:43] ---**
"Special Fire Grand Cathedral 1--
The Holy Sol Obelisk"
**[09:47] ---**
So this is the Holy Sol Obelisk.
It's even bigger than I imagined.
**[09:52] ---**
We could still climb it.
**[09:58] ---**
This is lame.
**[09:59] ---**
I'm not sure I'm worthy
to enter the sacred 1st.
**[10:03] ---**
Who are they?
**[10:05] ---**
They're camouflage.
Make nice with them, okay?
**[10:12] ---**
Thank you for taking us on.
**[10:26] ---**
So you're the trainee newbies?
**[10:29] ---**
Sheesh, I bet even your crap is crap.
Are you crappy, you crap?
**[10:38] ---**
"I bet even your crap is crap."
**[10:40] ---**
"Are you crappy, you crap?"
**[10:45] ---**
It sounds like he's trying to berate us,
**[10:47] ---**
but he's just calling crap "crap."

You've got the ass of an ass.
An ass should ass like an ass,

you ass!
**[10:57] ---**
What was that?!
**[10:58] ---**
Easy! He's just saying your ass is an ass.
**[11:08] ---**
Captain Burns is expecting you. Follow me.
**[11:14] ---**
Burns of the 1st--the man who knows
about the fire 12 years ago.
**[11:21] ---**
That fire...
**[11:24] ---**
This is the Grand Cathedral.
**[11:26] ---**
If it was actually caused by someone...
**[11:38] ---**
Welcome to the 1st. I'm happy to have you.
**[11:43] ---**
...I'm one step closer.
**[11:54] ---**
Good grief, military fatigues
in the Grand Cathedral?
**[11:57] ---**
They're guests. Go easy on them.
**[12:00] ---**
First Class Fire Soldier
Maki Oze, from the 8th!
**[12:04] ---**
I have brought the new recruits for training!
**[12:07] ---**
While this is a formal function,
we're still in the Grand Cathedral.
**[12:10] ---**
Forgive me for asking, but I'd prefer
that you tent hands, rather than salute.
**[12:18] ---**
Please excuse us!
**[12:21] ---**
Lieutenant Flam, Lieutenant Hoshimiya,
and Lieutenant Li, of the 1st.
**[12:27] ---**
They are going to be taking care of you.
**[12:33] ---**
After you've looked around
the facility today,
**[12:34] ---**
relax and make yourselves at home.
**[12:37] ---**
Captain Burns, if I may?
**[12:42] ---**
I realize this is sudden, but in order to
have you assess our abilities,
**[12:46] ---**
I would like to ask you to
take us on in some sparring.
**[12:49] ---**
Shinra! What are you talking about?!
**[12:52] ---**
We are aware of your abilities from
the paperwork we received on you.
**[12:55] ---**
That will not be necessary.
**[12:57] ---**
That's all right. Rekka,
let them practice on you, too.
**[13:01] ---**
Huh? Do you mean it?!
**[13:03] ---**
Rekka, we're in the Grand Cathedral.
**[13:07] ---**
Shinra, what do you think you're doing?
**[13:09] ---**
Just a light jab.
**[13:12] ---**
If I can beat you, there's something
I'd like to ask you.
**[13:17] ---**
Fine with me.
**[13:27] ---**
Hmm, I can't help but worry.
**[13:32] ---**
You've already sent them out.
Now please, calm down.
**[13:36] ---**
Be that as it may, worrying is
a captain's prerogative.
**[13:40] ---**
"Organic"
**[13:40] ---**
You're disrupting me.
**[13:42] ---**
Hey! Take it easy! Get back to your duties!
**[13:45] ---**
Why don't *you* head back to the 5th, ma'am?
**[13:50] ---**
Man, that Shinra-- Just because he beat me,
**[13:54] ---**
I hope he isn't too full of himself.
**[13:57] ---**
You twerp!
**[13:59] ---**
No sooner do you get here than
you're sparring with the captain?!
**[14:03] ---**
He's never even sparred with *me* before!
**[14:11] ---**
If he hurts Lieutenant Rekka,
I'll let him have it!
**[14:18] ---**
I'm gonna do this, damn it!
I'll make him spill everything he knows!
**[14:23] ---**
Why do you suppose he has
such a chip on his shoulder?
**[14:26] ---**
He's so delighted to be at
the 1st, he's all revved up.
**[14:30] ---**
He's a high-spirited crewman, all right!
I'm starting to get fired up!
**[14:37] ---**
Who gets to go first?
**[14:39] ---**
I'll start with the lowest-numbered company.
**[14:43] ---**
There's no need to hold back.
Put your full power on display for me.
**[14:47] ---**
Does that mean...?
**[14:54] ---**
Huh?! I have to go first?!
***SIGN*** "Second Class Fire Soldier" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Takeru Noto"
**[15:04] ---**
I'm Lieutenant Hoshimiya.
I'll be your opponent.
**[15:09] ---**
Second Class Fire Soldier Takeru Noto.
**[15:12] ---**
My family owns a *jagaimo* farm,
so I got the nickname "Jaga Noto."
**[15:16] ---**
Oh, as in "Juggernaut"!
**[15:19] ---**
Let's have ourselves a heated match!
**[15:21] ---**
F-Fire!
**[15:24] ---**
Is he all right?
**[15:29] ---**
There's fire coming from me, too!
I'd like to get this fire put out!
**[15:34] ---**
Nice! Not bad! That's your
fervent passion, is it?
**[15:38] ---**
It is so bad! It's utterly bad!
**[15:43] ---**
It's hot!
**[15:44] ---**
That's incredible, Juggernaut!
Let me see the best flames you've got!
**[15:50] ---**
It's getting a little too
warm for comfort, huh?
**[15:52] ---**
Are you sure this is a good idea, sir?
**[15:54] ---**
I'll deal with any stray shots.
**[15:55] ---**
See that you do, Karim.
**[15:57] ---**
Sheesh, nuisances are really
nuisances. What a nuisance.
**[16:02] ---**
I'm simmering here! We Fire Soldiers
have been waiting for talent like yours!
**[16:07] ---**
Stop! Don't get me stirred up!
I'm afraid of flames!
**[16:12] ---**
I became a Fire Soldier so I could
get my flames put out!
**[16:15] ---**
This is what happens when
you get me stirred up!
**[16:18] ---**
This amount of heat is incredible!
Every single shot is a juggernaut!
**[16:23] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka!
**[16:25] ---**
That's it! Fantastic! Just like that!
**[16:31] ---**
Go easier on the easygoing, you easy-goer!
**[16:34] ---**
I have you backing me up, don't I, Karim?
**[16:40] ---**
--What the...?
--He snuffed them out!
**[16:45] ---**
Where did that tremendous energy come from?
**[16:57] ---**
The flames got chilled out?
**[17:02] ---**
Rekka!
**[17:04] ---**
That would have hit the captain
if I hadn't been here!
**[17:07] ---**
And I trusted you to be here for me, Karim!
**[17:17] ---**
The 1st has a Fire Soldier who
produces not flames, but ice?
**[17:21] ---**
Hm?
**[17:22] ---**
What kind of nonsense is that?
Show me a person can create ice!
**[17:27] ---**
Then, that ice came from...?
**[17:29] ---**
Thermo-Acoustic Cooling.
**[17:31] ---**
It's a technique that converts
the energy of flames into sound,
**[17:33] ---**
and converts sound into cold.
**[17:35] ---**
When you compress heat,
you can convert it to sound.
**[17:38] ---**
As sound abrades the air,
in can be converted into cold.
**[17:42] ---**
You're saying you can turn
flame energy into sound and cold?
**[17:46] ---**
Such a thing is really possible?
**[17:58] ---**
There's someone within the 1st's jurisdiction
**[18:00] ---**
who is artificially creating Infernals.
**[18:03] ---**
Is the culprit among this bunch?
**[18:06] ---**
Or, are they all in cahoots?
**[18:15] ---**
All right, next!
**[18:17] ---**
I never fight without a purpose,
so you'll have to excuse me.
**[18:22] ---**
I-I only have the abilities
that you see in the paperwork,
**[18:25] ---**
nothing more, nothing less,
so I'll decline, too.
**[18:29] ---**
That would make our next contestant...
**[18:33] ---**
I will take you both on.
**[18:37] ---**
Why is the captain letting them fight him?
**[18:56] ---**
Bring it on.
**[19:01] ---**
You won't be getting a turn.
I will gallantly beat my opponent.
**[19:06] ---**
The end.
**[19:14] ---**
What are you planning to do with that hand?
**[19:21] ---**
Come at me as hard as you can.
Otherwise, this match will mean nothing.
**[19:28] ---**
Don't blame me if you lose an arm.
**[19:30] ---**
It will take more than that much flame
to cut me. Set your mind at ease.
**[19:35] ---**
"That much flame"? Arthur's Excalibur
can cut through even steel.
**[19:45] ---**
Don't come crying to me later!
**[19:54] ---**
So you have a sword that never fails to kill.
Don't you have any other moves?
**[20:04] ---**
No way. Not even Maki
could extinguish Excalibur.
**[20:09] ---**
What are you waiting for?!
**[20:11] ---**
Don't ease up on him!
**[20:17] ---**
This crewman packs some
amazing force, as well.
**[20:33] ---**
This will kill you if you don't step aside!
**[20:45] ---**
What?!
**[20:49] ---**
Why did you become a Fire Soldier?
**[20:52] ---**
My mother and brother died in a fire!
**[20:55] ---**
I'm going to solve the mystery
of human combustion,
**[20:57] ---**
and make sure that kind
of fire never happens again!
**[21:00] ---**
It was to become a hero who could
save the world from the flame terror!
**[21:05] ---**
You have a long way to go.
**[21:20] ---**
The 1st welcomes you. I hope you find
this training enrollment fulfilling.
**[21:27] ---**
Captain! Are you hurt?!
**[21:37] ---**
There we go.
**[21:38] ---**
I won't let your lucky lechery
get triggered so easily, Tamaki.
**[21:43] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka... I'm so sorry
this always happens!
**[21:53] ---**
I'll take charge of you guys from the 8th.
**[21:56] ---**
You were no match for Captain Burns,
but you two still did fairly fair.
**[22:01] ---**
Of course we did.
**[22:02] ---**
Thank you very much, sir.
**[22:04] ---**
But whether your pace
keeps you apace of this pace,
**[22:07] ---**
or whether your pace does not
keep you apace of this pace,
**[22:09] ---**
is all up to you. Hang in there.
**[22:14] ---**
Thank you very much, sir!
**[22:15] ---**
**[22:17] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:08] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:30] ---**
Yes. The evangelism is proceeding smoothly.
**[00:34] ---**
There may be some slight obstacles,
but it will not be a problem.
**[00:38] ---**
Infernalization will move
forward without a hitch.
**[00:43] ---**
Very well then, Evangelist...
**[00:46] ---**
*Látom*.
**[00:56] ---**
The core remains of sample "Infernal A"
**[01:00] ---**
showed different characteristics
compared to those of "Infernal B."
**[01:04] ---**
After analyzing them, soot and DNA
from a creature other than the victim
**[01:07] ---**
were identified in the core.
**[01:09] ---**
You concluded that it was insect genetic data.
**[01:15] ---**
Those are conclusive experimental results,
arrived at through my research.
**[01:20] ---**
I've investigated many Infernals,
**[01:22] ---**
and the samples that I believe
were artificially created
**[01:25] ---**
all had the same thing in common.
**[01:27] ---**
All of the samples had traces
of some kind of creature
**[01:30] ---**
entering the core from the outside.
**[01:35] ---**
Insects.

**[03:20] ---**
It's been five days since we joined the 1st.
**[03:25] ---**
Our investigation is to last a month.
**[03:28] ---**
We have to find leads on artificial
Infernals within that month.
**[03:35] ---**
Whoa, Lieutenant, what are you doing?
**[03:38] ---**
Are you all right? Any problems?
Is Arthur doing all right?
**[03:43] ---**
I told you, we're fine, sir!
Please don't come by every morning.
**[03:50] ---**
My, if it isn't the lieutenant from the 8th.
**[03:53] ---**
Hard at work again today, I see.
**[03:55] ---**
Hello.
**[03:56] ---**
He certainly is concerned
about his men, isn't he?
**[03:59] ---**
He really is.
**[04:00] ---**
Jeez, this is getting
embarrassing! Please leave!
**[04:03] ---**
Hmm? What's come over you all of a sudden?
**[04:06] ---**
You should check in with the captain
more often. He's concerned.
**[04:10] ---**
Yes, all right.
**[04:14] ---**
Shoo! Shoo!
**[04:17] ---**
Yikes, Captain Hibana is here, too.
**[04:22] ---**
They have us, here from other
companies, prowling around,
**[04:25] ---**
and they aren't acting like they're on guard.
**[04:27] ---**
At the 5th, with all of Haijima's trade secrets,
**[04:30] ---**
you'd never see everyone behaving this openly.
**[04:33] ---**
According to my investigation,
artificial Infernals appear primarily
**[04:37] ---**
in security zones,
where only Fire Soldiers can enter,
**[04:39] ---**
and in fire sites that have been closed off.
**[04:42] ---**
Much as it disturbs me,
**[04:44] ---**
chances are high that a
Special Fire Soldier is the culprit.
**[04:49] ---**
But is the culprit here at the 1st...?
**[05:00] ---**
U-Um, why did all of you become Fire Soldiers?
**[05:05] ---**
Why, to be a hero, protecting everyone
from human combustion and Infernals!
**[05:11] ---**
It's only natural that a knight
would fight on behalf of the weak.
**[05:17] ---**
Well, I'm a third generation, and as a
Fire Soldier, I'd be in with the ladies.
**[05:22] ---**
You're all so great.
**[05:25] ---**
I can't really use my pyrokinesis very well.
**[05:28] ---**
Nor do I have any grand
objective like the rest of you.
**[05:31] ---**
Forget about the objective.
**[05:34] ---**
As long as we end up helping
others, that's enough, isn't it?
**[05:37] ---**
Yeah, I guess so. Thanks, Shinra-*kun*.
**[05:43] ---**
How long are you going to sit around eating?!
Time for morning assembly!
**[05:46] ---**
Everyone, hurry back to
your appointed stations and--
**[05:51] ---**
--Sorry. I was reaching for
the mayonnaise, and you...
--What the hell are you doing, sicko?!
**[05:54] ---**
Whoa, hey!
**[05:58] ---**
You jerk! You stay away from me-ow!
**[06:01] ---**
Could you knock off your lucky lechery?
**[06:07] ---**
Is that morning assembly?
**[06:09] ---**
That's the alarm! An Infernal has appeared!
**[06:12] ---**
Juggernaut, report to Lieutenant Hoshimiya!
**[06:14] ---**
Kishiri, Lieutenant Li!
**[06:15] ---**
You two from the 8th, report to Lieutenant Flam!
**[06:35] ---**
There are five victims who Infernalized.
**[06:38] ---**
This appears to be another multiple incident.
**[06:41] ---**
Nozaka Squad, make sure
the civilians are all evacuated.
**[06:43] ---**
Matsuda Squad, you'll gather information
and report it to everyone.
**[06:47] ---**
The rest of us will look for the Infernals.
**[06:50] ---**
Let's put them to rest quickly!
**[06:51] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[06:53] ---**
Awesome. This is one swift,
take-charge company.
**[06:59] ---**
You two from the 8th,
stand by here with Matsuda Squad.
**[07:02] ---**
But we can help, too!
**[07:03] ---**
Our leadership structure would be
thrown off by newcomers.
**[07:07] ---**
Keep on keeping yourselves here.
**[07:32] ---**
Are you all right, sir?
**[07:41] ---**
What happened?
**[07:51] ---**
There they are!
**[07:52] ---**
After them!
**[07:53] ---**
What about the Infernal?
**[07:57] ---**
Right now, we'll just have
to let the 1st handle him.
**[08:04] ---**
You'll pay for this.
**[08:05] ---**
Fire Soldiers are supposed to protect citizens!
**[08:09] ---**
Don't think that you can escape my feet!
**[08:15] ---**
Shinra!
**[08:16] ---**
What are you doing? I thought
I ordered you to stand down.
**[08:24] ---**
What have you been doing back here?
**[08:27] ---**
I will--
**[08:29] ---**
--We don't get to Shinjuku
very much, so we got lost.
--What the hell are you doing...?
**[08:38] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka,
laying to rest has been completed.
**[08:42] ---**
Tamaki, good work.
**[08:49] ---**
All right, we're heading back.
**[08:56] ---**
Hey, why did you stop me?
**[09:10] ---**
Aren't those lieutenants
our artificial Infernal suspects?
**[09:14] ---**
We still don't know who the enemy is,
and who our allies are.
**[09:21] ---**
We could have been eliminated
right there on the spot.
**[09:24] ---**
Then what are you planning to do?
You saw what happened.
**[09:28] ---**
Yeah. I definitely saw it.
**[09:31] ---**
He pressed a bottle containing an
insect against that civilian's back.
**[09:34] ---**
Immediately afterward...
**[09:36] ---**
...they Infernalized.
**[09:38] ---**
This is the worst. How can a
Fire Soldier be creating Infernals?
**[09:42] ---**
The person you saw wearing those robes
**[09:45] ---**
was only one of three lieutenants from the 1st.
**[09:48] ---**
We'll have to start by
investigating Karim and Rekka.
**[09:51] ---**
You sure are enthusiastic.
These guys are formidable foes.
**[09:55] ---**
Of course I am. I don't care
who they are, they have to pay.
**[10:02] ---**
First thing we check is Karim's room.
**[10:04] ---**
He's not there right now?
**[10:06] ---**
I told Juggernaut to come up with
some excuse to keep him occupied.
**[10:10] ---**
Have you told him about our mission?
**[10:12] ---**
No.
**[10:13] ---**
He seems to have taken a liking to Tamaki,
**[10:17] ---**
and when I told him I'd get her number for him,
**[10:19] ---**
he was only too happy to cooperate.
**[10:22] ---**
Never mind him, though,
why are you dressed like that?
**[10:26] ---**
I made a job change, from knight to assassin.
**[10:33] ---**
After carrying on about being
a knight for so long, you just...?
**[10:38] ---**
I'm a knight.
**[10:42] ---**
"Karim Flam" "Out"
**[10:48] ---**
Hey!
**[10:49] ---**
Mini Excalibur. I made it
from a sheet of plastic,
**[10:53] ---**
so it can only be used once.
**[10:56] ---**
You dumbass! This will leave
evidence that someone broke in!
**[10:59] ---**
That doesn't sound like you.
**[11:02] ---**
What, did you lose your nerve
after Burns beat you, you wuss?
**[11:05] ---**
Huh?
**[11:06] ---**
If solving the mystery of human
combustion could be done cleanly,
**[11:10] ---**
it would have been solved a long time ago.
**[11:14] ---**
Hmph, say what you want,
but *you're* not gonna solve it.
**[11:40] ---**
That's it!
**[11:43] ---**
You can make an Infernal with one of these?
**[11:46] ---**
That clinches it. Karim Flam is our culprit.
**[11:54] ---**
I left that insect-like insect there on purpose.
**[11:58] ---**
Your behavior in the back alley was
abnormal, so I thought I'd test you.
**[12:05] ---**
Looks like the 8th is here pursuing
that insect-like insect, too.
**[12:09] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[12:11] ---**
I'm out to get the owner of that insect, too.
**[12:14] ---**
Oh, so you're on our side.
**[12:16] ---**
How can we trust you?
**[12:18] ---**
You saw the culprit, right? The fact that
you narrowed your suspicions on me
**[12:23] ---**
means they were wearing robes like this.
**[12:28] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[12:30] ---**
There was one other man there at
that moment wearing robes like mine.
**[12:36] ---**
Rekka Hoshimiya.
**[12:41] ---**
There was an incident two months ago
**[12:42] ---**
where a group of children collectively
caught fire. It was far too unnatural.
**[12:47] ---**
It was then that I found the insect.
**[12:51] ---**
Children were burned?
**[12:58] ---**
I got a five-star from the *gacha* machine.
**[13:00] ---**
Oh, yeah! No fair!
**[13:02] ---**
Hey, you two...
**[13:05] ---**
Fires sure are scary, huh?
**[13:07] ---**
You heard about that incident where
children your age burned up, right?
**[13:12] ---**
There's a way to make sure
the flames don't get you.
**[13:17] ---**
Why don't you come with me?
**[13:36] ---**
What are you doing?
**[13:50] ---**
"No trespassing"
**[13:54] ---**
Okay, let's go!
**[13:58] ---**
Tamaki, thanks for rounding them up.
**[14:01] ---**
I finally found a sacred prayer
to protect against Infernalization.
**[14:06] ---**
If we can save the children from
the flame threat, I can die happy!
**[14:11] ---**
Lieutenant...
**[14:14] ---**
I want to save even more,
but I'm much too wretched! Curses!
**[14:19] ---**
Um, Father, will they really
not become Infernals?
**[14:25] ---**
Yes! But you haven't told anyone,
because we don't want squabbling, right?
**[14:29] ---**
Yu-*kun* at my cram school burned up.
I don't want that to happen.
**[14:33] ---**
If I do what you say,
I won't ever burn up, right?
**[14:36] ---**
Of course you won't.
**[14:39] ---**
Everyone, now that I'm here,
everything will be all right.
**[14:43] ---**
You'll be mighty people,
who can't be beaten by flames!
**[14:49] ---**
Tamaki, would you mind stepping outside?
I'd like to focus on the prayer.
**[14:54] ---**
Huh?
**[14:56] ---**
Thanks for all the help you've been.
**[14:58] ---**
I'd like to see the prayer, too, sir.
**[15:01] ---**
I would do anything for you, Lieutenant Rekka.
**[15:05] ---**
My stars!
**[15:08] ---**
Thank you, Tamaki!
**[15:10] ---**
You're really making too much of it, sir...
**[15:13] ---**
Tamaki! I'm so grateful!
**[15:19] ---**
All righty!
**[15:26] ---**
Now...
**[15:27] ---**
...to find someone suitable for the
pilot light. You all have been chosen.
**[15:32] ---**
W-We've changed our minds!
**[15:36] ---**
We can't have that. You would
destroy your own child's future?
**[15:40] ---**
What a poor mother you are.
**[15:46] ---**
Mom...
**[15:53] ---**
Return to the great flame of fire.
**[16:04] ---**
You're going to go look for Rekka,
right? We're coming with you.
**[16:09] ---**
This is the 1st's problem.
You two keep out of it.
**[16:13] ---**
We are currently assigned to Karim Squad, sir.
**[16:16] ---**
Then your squad's lieutenant is
ordering you to stay out of this.
**[16:20] ---**
We have no intention of following that order.
We're not even formal members.
**[16:30] ---**
Hmph, so you're like men who are
my men, but aren't my men, then?
**[16:35] ---**
How freeing for you.
**[16:38] ---**
Feel free to feel free, then.
**[16:45] ---**
Well, *that* didn't work. I just wish there
was someone here who was suitable.
**[16:51] ---**
Stop crying! You won't ever get strong that way!
**[16:55] ---**
You can't be afraid of the flames!
You want to get stronger!
**[16:59] ---**
Right? Isn't that what you want?
**[17:06] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka, what on earth...?
**[17:10] ---**
I was going to let you live to take the blame,
**[17:12] ---**
so I must not have squeezed hard enough.
**[17:14] ---**
Huh? What do you mean, sir?
**[17:17] ---**
You are the only one who can accept
my passion and fervor, Tamaki!
**[17:23] ---**
This isn't happening, right?
**[17:25] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka, are you the one
who has been creating Infernals?
**[17:30] ---**
I respected you so much, sir!
**[17:35] ---**
You respect me, don't you?
**[17:37] ---**
Or do you let your feelings
change as easily as that?!
**[17:44] ---**
I'm not giving up! No matter how many
innocent children must be sacrificed,
**[17:49] ---**
I won't give up! Not ever!
**[17:52] ---**
I will create Infernals for the Evangelist,
**[17:55] ---**
until the day when I find someone
suitable for the pilot light!
**[18:02] ---**
You were a hot-blooded guy who was awkward
**[18:04] ---**
but never let it get you down.
I always found that to be cool about you.
**[18:11] ---**
But you were just a hot-blooded
son of a bitch, weren't you?!
**[18:16] ---**
My stars!
**[18:21] ---**
Lie there and be quiet.
**[18:27] ---**
Now, for the pilot light...
**[18:30] ---**
--No! Stop! No!
**[18:32] ---**
--Tak-*kun*!
--No! Stop! No!
**[18:33] ---**
Here you go, Tak-*kun*. It's all right.
**[18:38] ---**
Tak-*kun*!
**[18:39] ---**
Tak-*kun*!
**[18:54] ---**
Must be my imagination...
**[18:58] ---**
Hang in there! I know you can accept the flames!
**[19:03] ---**
Stop...!
**[19:04] ---**
Hang in there, Tak-*kun*! Fight!
**[19:07] ---**
Fight, Tak-*kun*!
**[19:21] ---**
He isn't becoming an Infernal?
**[19:28] ---**
He's compatible.
**[19:30] ---**
I did it! I finally found someone
compatible for the pilot light!
**[19:35] ---**
There are still four of you children left.
**[19:37] ---**
You haven't been spared yet,
**[19:39] ---**
so take on the pilot light and
earn victory for tomorrow!
**[19:45] ---**
Charge it up, charge it up, fight!
Don't let it beat you! Fire!
**[19:52] ---**
Please... stop, already...
Somebody... I'm begging you...
**[20:01] ---**
Somebody help!
**[20:10] ---**
What are you doing, Tamaki?
**[20:15] ---**
I thought you were an outstanding,
obedient subordinate!
**[20:23] ---**
What are you doing, Tamaki?!
**[20:26] ---**
There are children watching!
You shouldn't be like this!
**[20:30] ---**
The children are trying so hard!
**[20:34] ---**
You were supposed to
take the fall for this crime!
**[20:37] ---**
What's become of you, Tamaki?!
**[20:39] ---**
I used to like you.
**[20:40] ---**
I figured you were the only one who could do it!
**[20:45] ---**
I'm going to have to
change the plan and kill you.
**[20:48] ---**
The hot-blooded, gentle lieutenant...
**[20:50] ---**
I'll make it look like you
burned yourself to death!
**[20:55] ---**
Curses! I had faith that you could
do this! This is hard on me, too!
**[21:04] ---**
My fist is weeping over this!
**[21:07] ---**
I will stand by and see your end through!
**[21:11] ---**
You're going to die in my place, Tamaki!
**[21:15] ---**
--Stop, Lieutenant Rekka...
**[21:16] ---**
--I looked up to you.
--Stop, Lieutenant Rekka...
**[21:20] ---**
Help me...
**[21:54] ---**
Are you okay, Tamaki?
**[22:18] ---**
"To be continued"
**[22:22] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[22:25] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[22:28] ---**
*but words that simply hang in the air*
**[22:32] ---**
*are not enough to save you*
**[22:47] ---**
*We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder*
**[22:51] ---**
*between sights we never reach*
**[22:54] ---**
*and pain that brings no warmth*
**[22:57] ---**
*to make it to a faraway place*
**[23:01] ---**
*Given the hope that you speak of*
**[23:04] ---**
*or the ideals that you dream of*
**[23:08] ---**
*I'll find a way to show you love,*
*however cold you may be*
**[23:13] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[23:17] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[23:20] ---**

**[23:23] ---**
*are not enough to save you*
**[23:26] ---**
*You can cry out timidly*
**[23:29] ---**
*but that changes when the nights grow fevered*
**[23:32] ---**
*Even if we let go of each other's hands,*
**[23:36] ---**
*I hope we can still walk together again*

Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:08] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:21] ---**
"Episode 9:
The Spreading Malice"
**[00:27] ---**
The children are trying so hard!
**[00:31] ---**
You were supposed to
take the fall for this crime!
**[00:34] ---**
What's become of you, Tamaki?!
**[00:37] ---**
--I used to like you.
--Tamaki! What's become of you?!
**[00:39] ---**
--Tamaki! What's become of you?!
**[00:40] ---**
--Why are you doing this, Lieutenant Rekka...?
--You aren't the Tamaki I thought you were!
**[00:43] ---**
--Why are you doing this,
Lieutenant Rekka...?
**[00:51] ---**
Status update!
**[00:52] ---**
One Infernal has appeared.
**[00:54] ---**
There's a fire in the
city limits. Let's hurry!
**[01:01] ---**
Tamaki, can you keep up?
**[01:03] ---**
Y-Yes, sir! I'm fine!
**[01:05] ---**
There's an Infernal nearby.
Be sure you stay with us!
**[01:09] ---**
Yes, Lieutenant Rekka!
**[01:15] ---**
There it is!
**[01:17] ---**
Let me handle this!
**[01:18] ---**
Hold it, Rekka! Don't rush into rushing in!
**[01:26] ---**
The flame...
**[01:29] ---**
...is the soul's breath.
**[01:31] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art.
**[01:33] ---**
--Return to...
--Return to...
**[01:34] ---**
--...the great flame...
--...the great flame...
**[01:35] ---**
--...of fire!
--...of fire!
**[01:38] ---**
*Látom*.
**[01:48] ---**
Honestly, you're always so reckless.
**[01:51] ---**
Because you always have my back, Karim.
**[01:55] ---**
That's because you charge ahead on your own.
**[01:58] ---**
My stars!
**[01:59] ---**
You can't just laugh it off,
not even with that smile.
**[02:02] ---**
My stars?
**[02:03] ---**
My stars!
**[02:04] ---**
--Quit flashing that flashy smile!
**[02:06] ---**
--They all rely on each other. That's so cool!
--Quit flashing that flashy smile!
**[02:07] ---**
--They all rely on each
other. That's so cool!
**[02:10] ---**
Die now, Tamaki!
**[02:13] ---**
Stop, Lieutenant Rekka...
**[02:18] ---**
Help me...
**[02:44] ---**
Are you okay, Tamaki?
**[03:15] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[03:16] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to walking are weeded out*
**[03:20] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[03:23] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[03:25] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[03:27] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed to walking?*
**[03:30] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*
**[03:33] ---**
*but we're enveloped in warmth*
**[03:35] ---**
*Flames rise to show us the way*
**[03:40] ---**
*reminding us of a gentle melody*
**[03:47] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[03:52] ---**
*I just smile, thinking that's fine with me*
**[03:58] ---**
*If we shine, someday, our light will go out*
**[04:02] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[04:08] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[04:13] ---**
*Playthings that make sounds*
**[04:16] ---**
*and magic that chases pain away*
**[04:19] ---**
*are all precious treasures to me*
**[04:24] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[04:28] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[04:34] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[04:49] ---**
My stars!
**[04:51] ---**
Kusakabe!
**[04:56] ---**
Rekka Hoshimiya, you're
the culprit, aren't you?
**[04:59] ---**
Do not interfere!
**[05:02] ---**
Star Fist Jab!
**[05:20] ---**
Rekka Hoshimiya! Now that the hero,
**[05:23] ---**
Catch-the-Artificial-Infernal-Maker
Man is here,
**[05:27] ---**
there's nowhere for you to retreat!
**[05:29] ---**
My stars!
**[05:31] ---**
I don't need to retreat!
I only ever move forward!
**[05:40] ---**
Then I'm Keep-You-from-Moving-
Backwards-or-Forwards Man!
**[05:57] ---**
Kusakabe is fighting toe-to-toe
against Lieutenant Rekka...
**[06:03] ---**
I will not allow anyone to
interfere with our evangelism!
**[06:07] ---**
Shut up, you hot-blooded son of a bitch.
**[06:11] ---**
Oh, no trouble for me.
It just means one more dead body.
**[06:20] ---**
It's reacting to Shinra Kusakabe's flames.
**[06:24] ---**
I get it. It's trying to
go back to the flames.
**[06:29] ---**
All right! This is my lucky day!
**[06:34] ---**
So this is where you are--the third person
the Evangelist is searching for.
**[06:41] ---**
Click!
**[06:41] ---**
"Click"
**[06:42] ---**
The undefiled flame, the Adolla Burst!
**[06:47] ---**
Adolla Burst?
**[06:51] ---**
What we who serve under
the Evangelist have been seeking.
**[06:55] ---**
That which can only be borne
by the spawn of the great Sol--
**[06:59] ---**
the sacred flame that will lead mankind!
**[07:11] ---**
The pure, unadulterated flame.
**[07:15] ---**
For a long time, I have been
lighting pilot lights in children,
**[07:18] ---**
in search of someone compatible,
but imagine, finding someone right here!
**[07:23] ---**
In children, you say?
**[07:29] ---**
Exactly how many people
have you turned into Infernals?
**[07:32] ---**
It doesn't matter.
**[07:34] ---**
They were trivial sacrifices
so that we could achieve our goal.
**[07:41] ---**
Screw you!
**[07:44] ---**
You think you can get away with this?!
**[07:54] ---**
What are you doing, you sicko?!
**[07:56] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[07:59] ---**
O-Okay, then, off I go.
**[08:01] ---**
Don't walk away with my skirt!
**[08:04] ---**
Star Fist Jab!
**[08:09] ---**
Let me show you the difference
in our firepowers!
**[08:15] ---**
Tamaki!
**[08:21] ---**
My stars!
**[08:30] ---**
Sorry! It's not like that! I didn't mean to!
**[08:35] ---**
Enough already, just fight!
**[08:38] ---**
R-Right.
**[08:42] ---**
Please, Kusakabe...
**[08:46] ---**
Defeat Lieutenant Rekka.
**[08:56] ---**
Leave him to me. That's why I'm here.
**[08:59] ---**
Hmph.
**[09:11] ---**
Rekka and my firepowers are
about the same, or mine is a bit lower.
**[09:15] ---**
But where I *do* have him beat
is with my feet.
**[09:19] ---**
My mobility.
**[09:22] ---**
This building is an excellent place
to capitalize on my mobility.
**[09:28] ---**
Time to put it to the test.
**[09:32] ---**
My stars!
**[09:35] ---**
I will burn everything up
with my hot arms! My stars!
**[09:42] ---**
Don't let him beat you!
**[09:48] ---**
What awesome firepower.
My knee is hot just by glancing off him.
**[09:54] ---**
I'll shoot you down!
**[10:06] ---**
Star Fist...
**[10:09] ---**
...Jab!
**[10:11] ---**
I outmatch you in mobility!
**[10:15] ---**
You only have a single foothold,
**[10:18] ---**
but for me, everything is a foothold!
**[10:26] ---**
My stars...
**[10:58] ---**
Guys, gather around!
Make sure to keep behind the pillars!
**[11:02] ---**
I'm coming there now!
**[11:06] ---**
Tak-*kun*!
**[11:24] ---**
Are you okay, Kusakabe?!
**[11:27] ---**
I flew all the way here,
and then started fighting right off.
**[11:31] ---**
I'm a little lightheaded.
Looks like I overused my pyrokinesis.
**[11:35] ---**
You're overheated. You've used up
too much of your body's oxygen,
**[11:40] ---**
the source of your flames.
**[11:57] ---**
It's over, Rekka Hoshimiya.
Give yourself up, nice and easy.
**[12:03] ---**
I finally found a compatible child.
**[12:07] ---**
For the Evangelist's sake,
he's not getting away!
**[12:17] ---**
For what reason are you
turning children into Infernals?
**[12:20] ---**
Are there any more like you?
**[12:23] ---**
And who is this "Evangelist"?
**[12:26] ---**
I find compatible children and increase
the number of us with abilities.
**[12:31] ---**
We'll create Infernals,
and return people back to flames.
**[12:35] ---**
All according to the will of the Evangelist.
**[12:40] ---**
What is your objective?
**[12:45] ---**
Behold the brilliance of the star
of flames ensconced in the heavens!
**[12:49] ---**
We will return to the bosom of the great Sol!
**[12:53] ---**
Turn all people into flames, and engulf
the earth in the great flame of fire!
**[12:58] ---**
Incinerate this imperfect earth and
its humanity in the flames of salvation!
**[13:03] ---**
And turn this world
**[13:05] ---**
into a second sun!
**[13:13] ---**
What... are you talking about?
**[13:17] ---**
To make the world a star!
**[13:19] ---**
Guys, we're getting out of here, now!
**[13:24] ---**
They won't get away!
**[13:26] ---**
I'll take them, and make it
look like they died in the fire!
**[13:28] ---**
They will receive the teachings of
the Evangelist while in their childhood!
**[13:35] ---**
In the fire...? While in their childhood...?
**[13:41] ---**
Did you guys... take my brother, too?!
**[13:44] ---**
Burn, my Star Fists! Burn with fervor!
**[13:51] ---**
Stop! You'll be burned by your own flames!
**[13:54] ---**
I will burn all of you
up before I am consumed!
**[13:59] ---**
*Látom*!
**[14:07] ---**
What the...?!
**[14:08] ---**
Didn't you always say I
was there at your back?
**[14:13] ---**
Karim!
**[14:14] ---**
Do not interfere!
**[14:16] ---**
Stop. The hotter you get,
the more I'll cool you off.
**[14:21] ---**
I'll just vaporize this ice!
**[14:28] ---**
Fire!
**[14:41] ---**
I wasn't always at your back so you
could go and do something like this.
**[14:48] ---**
I heard the report,
and what do I come here and see?
**[14:51] ---**
Karim, what in the world?
**[14:53] ---**
I put Rekka on lockdown. We'll get
all there is to know out of him later.
**[15:00] ---**
Is the 1st going to be all right?
**[15:02] ---**
This is nothing more than my hunch,
**[15:04] ---**
but I get the feeling this isn't
just the 1st's problem.
**[15:08] ---**
It's a much more whopping whopper
of a problem, affecting the whole nation.
**[15:14] ---**
What?!
**[15:16] ---**
Huh?
**[15:21] ---**
Rekka's been...
**[15:23] ---**
Lieutenant Rekka...
**[15:30] ---**
Direct hit on target.
Hoshimiya has been eliminated.
**[15:35] ---**
There are still Fire Soldiers there.
Take some of them out.
**[15:41] ---**
Acknowledged.
**[15:46] ---**
Again?!
**[15:47] ---**
A sniper!
**[15:48] ---**
Where did it come from?!
**[15:50] ---**
I missed.
**[15:53] ---**
They won't escape this one.
**[15:56] ---**
Karim!
**[16:05] ---**
Shinra! Put up a smokescreen!
**[16:07] ---**
Right!
**[16:10] ---**
Tamaki! Stay out of sight
there with the children!
**[16:13] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[16:19] ---**
Huo Yan, I'm sorry.
**[16:22] ---**
Karim, you're the 1st's shield.
We can't afford to lose you here.
**[16:28] ---**
Who needs a shield that has to be protected?
**[16:31] ---**
I can't afford to let anyone else get hurt.
**[16:36] ---**
Shinra! Can you identify the enemy?!
**[16:45] ---**
Two targets, on the roof of
the building to the southwest!
**[16:49] ---**
Tamaki!
**[16:49] ---**
On Shinra's signal, extend as much of
your flame as you can toward the target!
**[16:54] ---**
It'll give away your position,
so extend them higgledy-piggledy!
**[16:57] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[17:01] ---**
I've lost visual on the target.
**[17:11] ---**
Karim, what's the point of the ice?
**[17:15] ---**
We're showing them
that we know where they are,
**[17:18] ---**
while constructing a barrier
to block their view of us.
**[17:21] ---**
If we behave in a manner
incomprehensible to them,
**[17:23] ---**
it's up to them to interpret the reason,
and get freaked out.
**[17:28] ---**
Snipers do their work
from a safe place, after all.
**[17:36] ---**
It looks like our location has been exposed.
**[17:38] ---**
Sniping will be impossible
with all that smoke and ice.
**[17:41] ---**
We've silenced Hoshimiya.
**[17:44] ---**
Now is not the time to expose
ourselves to danger by fighting.
**[17:48] ---**
We'll report this to the commander.
We're withdrawing.
**[17:53] ---**
The targets are falling back!
Should I go after them?
**[17:57] ---**
With you overheated, you'll just
get yourself killed by them.
**[18:01] ---**
All we can do is stay here
hunched down like turtles.
**[18:05] ---**
Let them get the wrong idea and be
freaked out, and they'll run away.
**[18:10] ---**
They made a hell of a scene.
Who are those white-clad folks?
**[18:17] ---**
There are people turning others
into Infernals and killing them,
**[18:19] ---**
as well as setting fires, running around.
**[18:22] ---**
Among them are children they've
abducted, who possess abilities.
**[18:26] ---**
Including my brother.
**[18:28] ---**
"The Evangelist." I now have
someone I can go after.
**[18:34] ---**
Tamaki, is that all of the children?
**[18:37] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[18:45] ---**
Cover yourself.
**[18:46] ---**
Oh, no! I couldn't possibly...
**[18:49] ---**
It's okay, just cover yourself.
**[18:57] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[19:01] ---**
Remember, Tamaki, while he may have
tricked you, you need to be prepared.
**[19:07] ---**
Yes, sir. I brought the children into this.
**[19:10] ---**
I will accept any punishment you give.
**[19:21] ---**
Thanks for your help with Rekka.
**[19:26] ---**
I'm not sure if Rekka was hot-blooded
and became a son of a bitch,
**[19:29] ---**
or if he was just a son of a bitch
who became hot-blooded.
**[19:34] ---**
But for me, Rekka was just Rekka.
**[19:38] ---**
I need to find out why he was
a hot-blooded son of a bitch.
**[19:45] ---**
The 8th's objective is to do an internal
investigation of Fire Soldiers, right?
**[19:49] ---**
And you're going after the Evangelist next?
**[19:52] ---**
I'm going to track down the Evangelist, too.
Let me work with you.
**[20:00] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[20:02] ---**
"To be continued"
**[20:06] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[20:09] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[20:12] ---**
*but words that simply hang in the air*
**[20:16] ---**
*are not enough to save you*
**[20:31] ---**
*We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder*
**[20:35] ---**
*between sights we never reach*
**[20:38] ---**
*and pain that brings no warmth*
**[20:41] ---**
*to make it to a faraway place*
**[20:45] ---**
*Given the hope that you speak of*
**[20:48] ---**
*or the ideals that you dream of*
**[20:52] ---**
*I'll find a way to show you love,*
*however cold you may be*
**[20:57] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[21:01] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[21:04] ---**
*but words that simply hang in the air*
**[21:07] ---**
*are not enough to save you*
**[21:10] ---**
*You can cry out timidly*
**[21:13] ---**
*but that changes when the nights grow fevered*
**[21:16] ---**
*Even if we let go of each other's hands,*
**[21:20] ---**
*I hope we can still walk together again*
**[21:23] ---**
*I'll refrain from saying goodbye*
**[21:26] ---**
*to ensure that we can meet again somewhere*
**[21:37] ---**
The 1st was swamped with reports and
follow-ups after the incident with Rekka,
**[21:42] ---**
so our training got canceled.
**[21:45] ---**
Rekka is dead,
**[21:46] ---**
Arthur ended up getting lost
running down Rekka,
**[21:49] ---**
and a search request had
to be issued for him.
**[21:53] ---**
"Tardiness is forbidden"
**[21:53] ---**
I haven't been back at the 8th in so long...
It was a short appointment,
**[21:56] ---**
"Submit your paperwork by tomorrow!"
"Tardiness is forbidden"
**[21:58] ---**
but it still feels like coming home.
**[21:58] ---**
"Spinach is fundamental"
"Submit your paperwork by tomorrow!"
"Tardiness is forbidden"
**[22:00] ---**
"Spinach is fundamental"
"Submit your paperwork by tomorrow!"
**[22:01] ---**
The captain's workouts...
**[22:03] ---**
"Head Spa"
**[22:04] ---**
The lieutenant's weird hats...
**[22:07] ---**
The basically cool and beautiful Maki-*san*...
**[22:11] ---**
I'm leaving some tea for you here.
**[22:14] ---**
Nice work on your training assignment.
**[22:17] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[22:19] ---**
The sister's angelic smile...
**[22:25] ---**
I only joined the 8th a little while ago,
**[22:29] ---**
but somehow or other, it's become
a place where I feel settled in.
**[22:36] ---**
Wh-What are you doing here, cat lady?
**[22:40] ---**
What!
**[22:41] ---**
Tamaki has been put on suspension
at the 1st for the time being,
**[22:45] ---**
for her part in the Hoshimiya incident.
**[22:48] ---**
While she's on suspension,
the 8th is taking her.
**[22:50] ---**
With the two of you together,
**[22:52] ---**
filing a report on this incident
will be a lot easier.
**[22:55] ---**
I-I see.
**[23:01] ---**
Th-That being the case, Tamaki,
could I get your phone number?
**[23:06] ---**
Wh-Why should I have to
give you my phone number?!
**[23:13] ---**
W-Well, if you insist,
I suppose I could tell you.
**[23:17] ---**
Really? Man, Juggernaut has
really been begging me.
**[23:23] ---**
No way! I'm not telling!
**[23:29] ---**
There's an intruder in my haven.
And after Arthur cleared out, too.
**[23:47] ---**
Hmph.
**[23:48] ---**
**[23:50] ---**
**[23:51] ---**

**[00:06] ---**
"Imperial Throne Room"
**[00:07] ---**
Your Excellency, there is no need
for you to appear personally.
**[00:10] ---**
While this situation can certainly not
be ignored, you can allow us to...
**[00:13] ---**
It's all right. Assemble the captains
from all the companies.
**[00:27] ---**
Goodness.
**[00:28] ---**
What have we here?
**[00:30] ---**
"Muscle-brain" "Gorilla"
"Give Shinra a raise!!!"
**[00:40] ---**
Shinra!
**[00:41] ---**
My locker has been violated again!
Enough, already!
**[00:45] ---**
I didn't do anything, sir!
**[00:47] ---**
Shinra is eating the lunch that
I made for him. Don't interrupt.
**[00:53] ---**
Is this your doing again? What is the
captain of the 5th even doing here?
**[00:59] ---**
I was going to go to the captains'
conference together with you.
**[01:05] ---**
D-Don't get the wrong idea.
**[01:06] ---**
When I bought the sweet roll to
fill up on before the conference,
**[01:09] ---**
I'd forgotten about my lunch.
**[01:11] ---**
I couldn't eat it by myself,
and it's a shame to waste it.
**[01:14] ---**
So I had no choice but to give it to Shinra.
**[01:16] ---**
That's not what I was asking about.
**[01:19] ---**
Shinra!
**[01:20] ---**
Do something about this girl!
**[01:22] ---**
Huh? But, sir, the lunch is really good.
**[01:25] ---**
Oh, yeah? It's good, is it?
**[01:28] ---**
Damn it, she's baiting him.
**[01:31] ---**
I'll treat you to as much ramen
as you like sometime soon!
**[01:34] ---**
Ramen, you say?
**[01:36] ---**
I'm coming, too.
**[01:38] ---**
What are you doing back?
**[01:40] ---**
Huh?
**[01:40] ---**
I'm coming, too.
**[01:42] ---**
Captain, run!
**[01:49] ---**
What happened to her "lucky"?
**[01:53] ---**
Hey, Maki, do you want any--
**[01:59] ---**
Hinawa, they're playing
with fire inside the office.
**[02:03] ---**
I need to confirm the route to Central.
**[02:06] ---**
Stop it, you idiot! You skirt-devil!
**[02:09] ---**
You did that yourself!
**[02:10] ---**
Farewell, skirt-devil.
**[02:13] ---**
There's a delicious bakery near here.
**[02:15] ---**
Ah, nee-*san*, that's an old one.
Of course we know of it.
**[02:19] ---**
They just started selling something new,
with strawberries on it!
**[02:25] ---**
This place sure has gotten lively.
**[02:35] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[02:36] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to walking are weeded out*
**[02:40] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[02:43] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[02:45] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[02:47] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed to walking?*
**[02:50] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*
**[02:53] ---**
*but we're enveloped in warmth*
**[02:56] ---**
*Flames rise to show us the way*
**[03:00] ---**
*reminding us of a gentle melody*
**[03:07] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[03:13] ---**
*I just smile, thinking that's fine with me*
**[03:18] ---**
*If we shine, someday, our light will go out*
**[03:22] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[03:28] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[03:33] ---**
*Playthings that make sounds*
**[03:36] ---**
*and magic that chases pain away*
**[03:39] ---**
*are all precious treasures to me*
**[03:44] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*
**[03:48] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[03:54] ---**
*the fire of our lives gets doused*
**[04:04] ---**
Are you sure it's okay for
Tamaki and me to attend, sir?
**[04:07] ---**
The topic of this conference
is the Evangelist
**[04:10] ---**
and the White-Clad organization.
**[04:12] ---**
Having been directly involved,
we're going to need your reports.
**[04:16] ---**
Do all the captains meet together often?
**[04:20] ---**
No, not once since I took command of the 8th.
**[04:24] ---**
That should tell you
how urgent a matter this is.
**[04:38] ---**
Man-made Infernals...
**[04:42] ---**
Direct hit on target.
Hoshimiya has been eliminated.
**[04:45] ---**
We'll report this to the commander.
We're withdrawing.
**[04:48] ---**
The White-Clad...
**[04:50] ---**
Click!
**[04:51] ---**
"Click!"
**[04:51] ---**
Behold the brilliance of the star
of flames ensconced in the heavens!
**[04:55] ---**
We will return to the bosom of the great Sol!
**[04:59] ---**
Turn all people into flames, and engulf
the earth in the great flame of fire!
**[05:05] ---**
Incinerate this imperfect earth and
its humanity in the flames of salvation!
**[05:09] ---**
All according to the will of the Evangelist.
**[05:13] ---**
And the Evangelist...
**[05:16] ---**
There's no doubt we're closing in on
the cause behind Infernals appearing.
**[05:24] ---**
Ah! Is that, by any chance...?
**[05:29] ---**
What, Kusakabe, you've never seen it before?
**[05:32] ---**
That's the power station that was built
at the beginning of the Solar calendar.
**[05:37] ---**
Amaterasu, the perpetual
thermal energy plant.
**[05:40] ---**
"The perpetual thermal
energy plant Amaterasu"
**[05:42] ---**
Amaterasu produces all
of the energy for Tokyo.
**[05:47] ---**
All from that one facility?
It must have out-of-this-world firepower.
**[06:00] ---**
Thanks for everything you did the other day.
**[06:03] ---**
No, I should be the one to thank you.
**[06:09] ---**
Company 1 Lieutenant Karim Flam.
**[06:15] ---**
I heard all about what happened from Shinra.
**[06:18] ---**
I want to learn the truth about Rekka.
I intend to work with the 8th on that.
**[06:24] ---**
I hear you're a capable man. Thanks.
**[06:36] ---**
I thought you were supposed to
be with Haijima, like me.
**[06:41] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[06:42] ---**
It looks to me like you're spending
a lot of time with the 8th.
**[06:46] ---**
Hmph, you're being ridiculous.
**[06:50] ---**
The captains' conference is about to start.
**[06:57] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 1 Captain"
"Leonard Burns"
**[07:00] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 2 Captain"
"Gustav Honda"
**[07:07] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 3 Captain"
"Dr. Giovanni"
**[07:09] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 4 Captain"
"Soichiro Hague"
**[07:15] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 5 Captain"
"Princess Hibana"
**[07:18] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 6 Captain"
"Kayoko Huang"
**[07:24] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 7 Captain"
"Benimaru Shinmon"
**[07:29] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 8 Captain"
"Akitaru Obi"
**[07:39] ---**
The 7th is here, and they normally
don't show up to anything.
**[07:42] ---**
This really is a big deal.
**[07:44] ---**
So that man is the renowned
mightiest Fire Soldier of all?
**[07:49] ---**
The 7th's captain...?
**[07:51] ---**
What's so funny, you little brat?
**[07:54] ---**
Waka...
**[08:06] ---**
Hey, Kusakabe!
**[08:10] ---**
Each company's captain seems to be here.
**[08:16] ---**
"Tokyo Empire Emperor"
"Raffles III"
**[08:20] ---**
All right, let's begin this
emergency conference.
**[08:25] ---**
I've spoken with the
general of the Tokyo Army
**[08:27] ---**
and the chief of the Fire Defense Agency.
**[08:30] ---**
They say that there are some who are
acting in secret to threaten our nation.
**[08:35] ---**
Their actions defile the divine protection
granted to us by the great Sol.
**[08:40] ---**
All companies of the Special Fire Force,
**[08:43] ---**
you are to bring down
the Evangelist as a traitor.
**[08:46] ---**
"Great Sol" my ass. What a load.
**[08:49] ---**
Benimaru Shinmon!
Your disrespect is beyond the pale!
**[08:53] ---**
Apologize to the emperor before the
punishment of Gustav Honda befalls you!
**[08:57] ---**
Shut up, *Honda Gustav*.
My name is *Shinmon Benimaru*.
**[09:02] ---**
A proto-national name...
**[09:04] ---**
So you're a proto-nationalist.
**[09:08] ---**
We in the 7th are a gang of idiots who
used to just be the neighborhood watch.
**[09:12] ---**
I don't remember swearing an oath
of loyalty to the empire or to Sol.
**[09:17] ---**
The 7th will do whatever we want.
**[09:19] ---**
Hold it! We aren't finished talking yet!
**[09:21] ---**
Stop right there!
**[09:30] ---**
Ahem.
**[09:32] ---**
In any case, all companies are to come
together to pursue the Evangelist.
**[09:40] ---**
This will indeed be the path to
save humanity from the flame terror.
**[09:44] ---**
You're getting closer, aren't you?
**[09:48] ---**
Devil's Footprints...
**[09:51] ---**
That was surprisingly quick.
He's got some potential.
**[09:56] ---**
Maybe I'll go and see him again.
**[09:59] ---**
Shinra Kusakabe-*kun*...
**[10:01] ---**
Yes, Your Excellency?
**[10:03] ---**
I understand you possess an Adolla Burst.
**[10:11] ---**
That is what Rekka Hoshimiya told me, sir.
**[10:16] ---**
What exactly *is* an Adolla Burst?
**[10:19] ---**
It is an unsullied, pure flame.
**[10:23] ---**
The primordial flame, and the spark
that Sol used when creating this world.
**[10:28] ---**
Did you happen to see it on your way here?
**[10:32] ---**
Amaterasu, the perpetual
thermal energy plant.
**[10:36] ---**
The source flame that provides all
of the energy for the Tokyo Empire.
**[10:41] ---**
That flame is no more or less
than an Adolla Burst.
**[10:54] ---**
The Evangelist is seeking
to obtain Adolla Bursts.
**[10:57] ---**
An Adolla Burst is a flame of high purity,
**[11:01] ---**
but how it differs from a common flame
cannot be scientifically explained.
**[11:05] ---**
Could the Evangelist have discovered
what the difference is?
**[11:11] ---**
The Evangelist will be coming for Kusakabe.
**[11:14] ---**
Shouldn't we keep him secured?
**[11:16] ---**
Secured?! Please, sir, anything but that!
**[11:19] ---**
Fire Soldiers are here to protect people!
**[11:22] ---**
I can keep myself safe!
**[11:24] ---**
The other companies ought not
interfere with the 8th's matters.
**[11:28] ---**
Each company should be devoting
themselves to pursuing the Evangelist.
**[11:35] ---**
The 3rd wants to make Shinra their specimen.
**[11:39] ---**
The 8th accepts the responsibility
to keep Kusakabe safe and secure.
**[11:48] ---**
An Adolla Burst is a sacred flame of
God's chosen. Take good care of it.
**[11:55] ---**
Yes, Your Excellency!
**[11:59] ---**
Goodness.
**[12:02] ---**
We're back.
**[12:03] ---**
We've returned.
**[12:04] ---**
Welcome home. I'll make some tea.
**[12:07] ---**
Wearing these funny clothes is exhausting.
**[12:11] ---**
Um, sir? Wasn't Shinra-*san* with you, too?
**[12:14] ---**
Yeah. Shinra said he wanted
to see Amaterasu on his own.
**[12:19] ---**
And, if we have to mobilize,
I'll cover for him somehow.
**[12:23] ---**
Plus, Tamaki and Arthur are here.
**[12:27] ---**
Hmph, the guy's making work for me.
**[12:36] ---**
If the Evangelist is going to
come seeking *me* out,
**[12:40] ---**
that works for me just fine.
**[12:43] ---**
Long time no see, Devil's Footprints.
**[13:01] ---**
You!
**[13:02] ---**
An Adolla Burst. One of those
is a primordial flame,
**[13:05] ---**
which serves as the power
source for Amaterasu.
**[13:08] ---**
The sacred flame that created this world.
**[13:11] ---**
But then, that flame is also
the cause of the world's downfall.
**[13:18] ---**
Whoa! I'm not in the mood
for fisticuffs right now.
**[13:22] ---**
But if you insist,
I'd be willing to take you on.
**[13:27] ---**
You don't actually think
you can get a lick in, do you?
**[13:38] ---**
I came to tell you something
you'll want to hear today.
**[13:43] ---**
A reward for the devil who certainly
has gotten closer to the truth.
**[13:49] ---**
You've just about stumbled upon the
location of your brother, haven't you?
**[13:54] ---**
What are you trying to say?
**[13:55] ---**
Keep on pursuing the Evangelist.
That's where you'll find your brother.
**[14:01] ---**
Commander of the Knights of the
Ashen Flame, in service to the Evangelist,
**[14:05] ---**
Sho Kusakabe. Your brother.
**[14:10] ---**
Sho serves under the Evangelist...
as a commander... of an order of knights?
**[14:22] ---**
What do you mean?!
**[14:24] ---**
Joker!
**[14:26] ---**
Hell is a perfect fit for a devil.
**[14:39] ---**
Mom... Sho... I'm sorry.
I couldn't keep my promise.
**[14:46] ---**
Mom... Sho...
**[14:51] ---**
Mom...
**[14:54] ---**
But I *will* keep another promise.
**[14:58] ---**
If what he says is really true,
**[15:02] ---**
I'm going to have to fight with my brother.
**[15:06] ---**
I'm going to become a superhero
and protect Mom and Sho!
**[15:11] ---**
The promise I made to Mom is a promise
that will keep Mom and Sho and me...
**[15:17] ---**
...will keep our family bound together!
**[15:21] ---**
No matter what, I will keep that promise!

"Arthur" "Shinra" "Obi" "Hinawa"
**[15:46] ---**
The Special Fire Force
is going after the Evangelist.
**[15:49] ---**
Let's start by looking for clues in the data
from all the fires that have happened so far.
**[15:55] ---**
This is just a fraction of it all.
**[15:58] ---**
Find any detail that may relate to
the White-Clad, no matter how minute.
**[16:02] ---**
The Evangelist and the White-Clad
**[16:04] ---**
are artificially causing human
combustion for some purpose.
**[16:08] ---**
We cannot allow a single one
of them to get away with it.
**[16:13] ---**
I'll leave you to it.
**[16:39] ---**
Hey, Shinra, hurry up and find a lead.
**[16:43] ---**
All this mental heavy lifting
is making you pale.
**[16:47] ---**
So keep it up until it kills you.
**[17:00] ---**
Like watching a candle in the wind. Good.
**[17:04] ---**
Let's take a little break.
**[17:06] ---**
Huh? But Arthur is on the verge
of dying. Let's keep going!
**[17:13] ---**
The sister should be getting back
from consoling the next of kin.
**[17:17] ---**
How about the women go
cook something for us to eat?
**[17:20] ---**
I'll do it!
**[17:21] ---**
Is that okay, Lieutenant?
**[17:23] ---**
You guys? I have my misgivings...
**[17:26] ---**
Jeez, how rude. It'll be fine.
**[17:30] ---**
Maki-*san*'s cooking!
**[17:34] ---**
What is this...?
**[17:38] ---**
Maki-*san*!
**[17:40] ---**
Hey! Kusakabe, no peeking!
**[17:43] ---**
How in the blue blazes
did you end up like that?
**[17:46] ---**
You were wearing coveralls just a second ago!
**[17:48] ---**
That kind of conventional thinking
doesn't apply to Tamaki.
**[17:52] ---**
Ugh... Maki, go get Tamaki changed
and get back to work.
**[17:58] ---**
I'll make supper.
**[18:03] ---**
Shinra, you're helping.
**[18:05] ---**
Huh? O-Okay...
**[18:29] ---**
You okay?
**[18:30] ---**
Huh?
**[18:32] ---**
If it's too hard to talk to me,
you can always tell the captain.
**[18:42] ---**
I like it here at the 8th.
**[18:45] ---**
I'd like you new guys to be
able to trust us at the 8th, too.
**[18:54] ---**
Lieutenant Hinawa,
I also love it here at the 8th.
**[18:58] ---**
I do trust you and Captain Obi.
**[19:03] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[19:05] ---**
I see.
**[19:12] ---**
The food is ready!
Please come to the dining room!
**[19:16] ---**
Yay!
**[19:18] ---**
Tch.
**[19:29] ---**
How does Shinra seem?
**[19:32] ---**
The strain on him after the 5th and
the 1st investigations has been tough.
**[19:41] ---**
You didn't recruit any fragile members
into the 8th, sir. He's fine.
**[19:51] ---**
Awesome! You made this, Kusakabe?
**[19:55] ---**
No, it was mostly the lieutenant.
**[20:01] ---**
Thank you for this food!
**[20:03] ---**
Thank you for this food.
**[20:12] ---**
Make sure to chew before you swallow.
**[20:22] ---**
Thank goodness.
Things are the same as always.
**[20:26] ---**
Things had been weird
ever since you got back.
**[20:29] ---**
I thought maybe your stomach was upset,
**[20:32] ---**
but if you're eating that much,
you must be fine.
**[20:48] ---**
I know this is sudden,
but there's something I have to say.
**[20:55] ---**
The truth is...
**[21:01] ---**
I told them. About meeting with Joker.
**[21:06] ---**
About my brother, Sho.
**[21:09] ---**
It would be fine sharing
with my friends at the 8th.
**[21:12] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[21:16] ---**
I see.
**[21:18] ---**
But this is coming from Joker, right?
Can we even trust it?
**[21:22] ---**
I still don't believe it, myself.
**[21:25] ---**
In that case...
**[21:27] ---**
Shinra...
**[21:28] ---**
Do you want to believe your
brother is still alive, or not?
**[21:34] ---**
I want to believe it!
**[21:37] ---**
Sure you do.
**[21:44] ---**
In that case, we have no choice
but to believe it, as well.
**[21:48] ---**
It doesn't change our mission
to go after the Evangelist,
**[21:51] ---**
but we're going to form our
strategy around the premise
**[21:54] ---**
that Shinra's brother is still alive.
**[21:57] ---**
Thank you very much, sir.
**[22:02] ---**
A light to those who are
lost. To burn the land,
**[22:07] ---**
and turn this world to a flaming sun
wherein God may be enshrined.
**[22:15] ---**
As the Evangelist directs.

The 8th's first fire. This is the
research report from right after

the sister and Maki joined up.
**[00:14] ---**
Come to think of it, how is it
that the 8th came to be?
**[00:18] ---**
I haven't heard about what
happened before I joined.
**[00:25] ---**
Well, let's see. It has to do with
the matter of the heart of the 8th.
**[00:30] ---**
Lieutenant, tell them.
**[00:32] ---**
Huh?
**[00:33] ---**
You're the better talker. That's an order.

I hear there has been another
increase in Infernals lately.
**[02:41] ---**
Maybe there's something better
we could be doing
**[02:44] ---**
besides patrolling and
investigating criminals.
**[02:46] ---**
Infernals fall under the
Special Fire Force's jurisdiction.
**[02:49] ---**
Don't get any funny ideas.
**[02:51] ---**
Sergeant Hinawa!
**[02:54] ---**
I'll see you tomorrow, sir.
**[02:59] ---**
I don't recognize her.
**[03:01] ---**
Could she be...?
**[03:04] ---**
General Oze's daughter, Private Maki Oze.
**[03:08] ---**
She's so thin.
**[03:10] ---**
Is she all right?
**[03:12] ---**
She gives twice the effort of the others.
**[03:14] ---**
She also trains even harder
than she's told to.
**[03:17] ---**
She'll build up her strength
before you know it.
**[03:20] ---**
Pretty impressive for being
a general's daughter.
**[03:22] ---**
She's still daddy's little girl, though,
and only got in because of him.
**[03:25] ---**
She's too kind... and desperately
not cut out to be a soldier.
**[03:30] ---**
All of the work she's putting in
now will be for nothing.
**[03:32] ---**
You're as harsh as ever, aren't you?
**[03:35] ---**
If she's trying that hard,
you should be behind her.
**[03:37] ---**
Wasted effort doesn't
get to be called effort.
**[03:40] ---**
She's no different from a goldbricker.
**[03:42] ---**
I'm surprised you'd say something
like that about such a cute girl.
**[03:46] ---**
That's because *you're* too kind, Tojo.
**[03:52] ---**
Something the matter with that gun?
**[03:54] ---**
I'm following the Special Fire Force
and took it to be baptized at the church.
**[03:58] ---**
Speaking of wastes.
**[04:00] ---**
Waste? Between a gun that was
baptized and one that wasn't,
**[04:04] ---**
you'd rather be shot by
the baptized gun, right?
**[04:09] ---**
How about it, Hinawa?
**[04:11] ---**
If you go to the church and have
your gun baptized, too, just to try it,
**[04:15] ---**
your point of view might change a little.
**[04:19] ---**
I don't believe in Sol. It's not like
the effects of shooting a gun change
**[04:23] ---**
just because it's been baptized.
**[04:25] ---**
I've known you for a long time,
and that's what I thought you'd say.
**[04:32] ---**
How come someone as kind
as you sticks with me, anyway?
**[04:37] ---**
Hinawa, you're not as cold
a fish as you think you are.
**[04:41] ---**
I mean, you are bussing my tray with yours.
**[05:13] ---**
Tojo?!
**[05:14] ---**
Hinawa! Shoot!
**[05:16] ---**
Shoot me! While I'm still conscious!
**[05:22] ---**
Hurry up and shoot!
**[05:25] ---**
Shoot!
**[05:38] ---**
You'd rather be shot by
the baptized gun, right?
**[05:49] ---**
Wait--
**[05:57] ---**
Why couldn't I shoot him?
I failed to shoot him...
**[06:10] ---**
Lieutenant Tojo's gun.
**[06:13] ---**
I finished changing the owner's name
to yours, as you requested.
**[06:18] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[06:43] ---**
The Blue Stripes have arrived!
**[06:45] ---**
We'll direct the civilians and
check the spread of the fire
**[06:47] ---**
until they finish putting them to rest.
**[06:49] ---**
Reporting in! I'm in charge of
the Fire Fighters here, Akitaru Obi.
**[06:55] ---**
We heard there were two Infernals.
**[06:58] ---**
Yes. There are two, but they are
currently in different locations.
**[07:02] ---**
One is belligerent, and is currently
running around inside our cordon.
**[07:05] ---**
The other one is more docile,
and staying inside this store.
**[07:10] ---**
One of the two of them...
**[07:12] ---**
...isn't going to earn many points, huh?
**[07:14] ---**
Points?
**[07:16] ---**
The situation is clear.
You Fire Fighters pull back.
**[07:20] ---**
We'll start with the live one.
Leave the one with fewer points alone.
**[07:31] ---**
Excuse me, Mr. Fireman, my husband
is patiently enduring those flames.
**[07:37] ---**
Please put him out of his misery quickly.
**[07:40] ---**
There is an order of precedence
we follow at a scene.
**[07:42] ---**
You let us handle the arrangements
of putting him to rest.
**[07:45] ---**
Let's go!
**[07:47] ---**
P-Please, wait!
**[07:51] ---**
Excuse me.
**[07:56] ---**
Wouldn't that just mean
sending only two men in pursuit,
**[07:59] ---**
dividing your forces in two,
and putting them both to rest?
**[08:03] ---**
We are pros. There is such
a thing as on-site judgment.
**[08:09] ---**
You mean points?
**[08:10] ---**
That's right.
**[08:12] ---**
By assigning rankings to Infernals,
and awarding points based on results,
**[08:15] ---**
I can maintain my men's morale.
**[08:17] ---**
Maintain their morale?
**[08:20] ---**
Morale doesn't mean a damn
when putting a person to rest, does it?
**[08:24] ---**
Don't second-guess our job, amateur.
**[08:28] ---**
You Fire Fighters just
get ready with the water.
**[08:34] ---**
Nobuo-*san*, hang in there. Just hang in there.
**[08:39] ---**
I'm sorry I can't do anything for you.
**[08:41] ---**
Ma'am, if you like, I
could take it upon myself
**[08:45] ---**
to put your husband to rest.
**[08:48] ---**
Please, allow me.
**[08:54] ---**
"Tokyo Fire Defense Agency"
**[09:00] ---**
What are you planning to do?
**[09:04] ---**
Who are you?
**[09:05] ---**
Sergeant Takehisa Hinawa,
Tokyo Imperial Armed Forces.
**[09:09] ---**
"Episode 11:
Formation of Special Fire Force Company 8"
**[09:15] ---**
Beyond here is Blue Stripes territory.
**[09:17] ---**
If a soldier like you or a Fire Fighter
like me crosses this tape,
**[09:20] ---**
we will be severely punished.
**[09:25] ---**
Compared to the suffering
of the Infernal inside,
**[09:29] ---**
accepting punishment is no skin off my nose.
**[09:32] ---**
You think so, too, don't you?
**[09:38] ---**
Sergeant Hinawa, do you have
any experience fighting Infernals?
**[09:42] ---**
I turned my gun on a friend who
became an Infernal the other day...
**[09:51] ---**
...but I couldn't shoot him.
**[09:56] ---**
I am not a pious follower of Sol.
**[10:01] ---**
Nonetheless, I could not shoot him
with an unbaptized gun.
**[10:10] ---**
Infernal sighted.
**[10:13] ---**
Sergeant Hinawa, it's not about
whether or not I believe in God,
**[10:18] ---**
but how much I can do for the sake of
a dying Infernal that I believe is important.
**[10:26] ---**
Baptisms and prayers are
a part of that belief.
**[10:30] ---**
And they're also salvation to
those who put Infernals to rest.
**[10:37] ---**
I'll do it.
**[10:45] ---**
The flame is the soul's breath.
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[10:51] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
**[10:55] ---**
Sergeant Hinawa, you are a kind man.
**[11:16] ---**
You have courage.
**[11:18] ---**
You're the one who has courage.
**[11:20] ---**
If you hadn't taken action,
I likely wouldn't have done anything.
**[11:24] ---**
Making up your mind to move forward
on your own isn't that difficult.
**[11:30] ---**
It's easy to believe in yourself, after all.
**[11:33] ---**
But trusting in someone else,
taking action, and sacrificing yourself
**[11:37] ---**
are things that require
a tremendous amount of courage.
**[11:40] ---**
Today, Sergeant Hinawa,
that courage... was yours.
**[11:45] ---**
If so, then you're the king.
**[11:55] ---**
That settles it!
**[11:57] ---**
I'm going to establish a
Special Fire Force company.
**[12:01] ---**
I want to be a Special Fire Soldier,
and pursue the mystery of Infernals.
**[12:05] ---**
How can I sit back and do nothing
while the world burns down around me?
**[12:13] ---**
I'm going to need men like you in my company,
**[12:17] ---**
who cherish life above anything else.
**[12:25] ---**
When that time arrives,
by all means, reach out to me.
**[12:29] ---**
"Solar Year 197"
**[12:34] ---**
This is the fire cathedral
that will serve as our base.
**[12:37] ---**
It's as run-down as you'd expect of
the dwelling of a bunch of outcasts.
**[12:41] ---**
So, are we the only two crewmen?
**[12:45] ---**
Oh, well...
**[12:47] ---**
Gathering crewmen I can trust
is quite a difficult task.
**[12:52] ---**
As it happens, I have a line on someone.
**[12:55] ---**
A subordinate from my soldier days.
**[12:57] ---**
Someone who works harder than anyone,
**[12:59] ---**
but who wasn't much use as a soldier.
**[13:02] ---**
Who is more compassionate,
and thinks of others before herself,
**[13:07] ---**
which makes her a good fit for your 8th.
**[13:11] ---**
Huh?
**[13:12] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[13:13] ---**
Way to go, Maki-*san*.
**[13:15] ---**
Huh? I thought I was only brought in
to be a meat shield because of my ability.
**[13:22] ---**
Lieutenant, you said that?
**[13:28] ---**
I'm so happy...
**[13:30] ---**
Lieutenant, nicely done.
**[13:33] ---**
The heart of the 8th remains
unchanged since its founding--
**[13:36] ---**
respect and prayers for
the Infernals we put to rest,
**[13:40] ---**
deliverance from the flames
for those who are alive,
**[13:43] ---**
and cherishing human lives.
**[13:54] ---**
"Inquiry Report"
**[13:56] ---**
This is kind of turning into a long story,
**[13:59] ---**
but this was the 8th's first fire scene.
**[14:03] ---**
It was a hot day.
**[14:05] ---**
It was our first call out,
and we were all nervous.
**[14:10] ---**
The victim who had Infernalized
was dressed all in white.
**[14:15] ---**
We put them to rest without incident,
**[14:17] ---**
but there were a lot of
suspicious factors about that fire.
**[14:21] ---**
An unfamiliar red cross...
**[14:23] ---**
No next of kin.
The company where they worked
**[14:26] ---**
hurriedly came to collect
their personal effects.
**[14:29] ---**
Looking into it, that business still exists.
**[14:33] ---**
It's located in Asakusa.
**[14:36] ---**
That's the 7th's jurisdiction.
**[14:39] ---**
--Come on by, come on by!
We have Hoppy, cheap!
**[14:41] ---**
--Yo, Beni-*chan*!
--Come on by, come on by!
We have Hoppy, cheap!
**[14:42] ---**
--We have *monjayaki*, *monja*, and beer, too!
**[14:45] ---**
--Hello there, Waka, sir.
--We have *monjayaki*, *monja*, and beer, too!
**[14:49] ---**
Benimaru-*chan*!
**[14:52] ---**
I made some *daifuku*. Take some with you.
**[14:54] ---**
Huh? Don't I always say I don't
like sweets, you old biddy?
**[15:06] ---**
She makes too much.
**[15:08] ---**
Yo, Beni-*chan*! Haven't seen you
in three days. You doing all right?
**[15:15] ---**
Come have a drink with me tonight!
**[15:21] ---**
Buzz off.
**[15:27] ---**
*Daifuku* from the old biddy.
Anyone who wants one, help yourself.
**[15:33] ---**
I love that die-hard old hag's *daifuku*!
**[15:36] ---**
An old lady who can't make *daifuku*
would be better off dead!
**[15:42] ---**
Hinata, Hikage... Now, look...
**[15:46] ---**
What is it, Waka? We aren't
listening to any complaints.
**[15:50] ---**
They're just parroting you, Waka.
**[15:52] ---**
"Lieutenant"
"Third-generation pyrokinetic"
"Sagamiya Konro"
**[15:56] ---**
I'm not listening to any complaints.
**[15:58] ---**
You see? Right there.
**[15:59] ---**
These *daifuku* are delicious!
The last glimmer of a die-hard old biddy.
**[16:05] ---**
The light of a dying old hag is tasty!
**[16:08] ---**
I never said anything like *that*.
**[16:12] ---**
By the way, Waka, we just got word
from the folks at the 8th.
**[16:16] ---**
They say they want to search our jurisdiction
over that Evangelist matter.
**[16:21] ---**
Too much trouble. Ignore them.
**[16:24] ---**
Begging your pardon, but we're already here.
**[16:28] ---**
Huh?
**[16:29] ---**
"Episode 11:
The Mightiest Hikeshi"
**[16:35] ---**
What do you think you're doing
barging your way in here?
**[16:39] ---**
I heard that Captain Shinmon Benimaru
hated the bother of formalities,
**[16:44] ---**
and we decided to just come over directly.
**[16:50] ---**
So you've come here unannounced. Fine.
**[16:54] ---**
And I don't care a bit about this
Evangelist investigation,
**[16:57] ---**
but I can't have anyone
coming in to disrupt my turf.
**[17:01] ---**
The Evangelist is artificially
producing Infernals.
**[17:05] ---**
There's a possibility that the people
of this area will be the next target.
**[17:10] ---**
That's what the empire says, right?
**[17:13] ---**
It's not like I've ever actually seen
one of them turn a person
**[17:17] ---**
into an Infernal, myself.
**[17:25] ---**
I'm not so naive that I believe that.
**[17:28] ---**
Well, I *have* seen it myself!
**[17:30] ---**
It doesn't matter to me
what some imperial dog saw.
**[17:35] ---**
I don't need to hear any tales
from a credulous pup.
**[17:39] ---**
And I don't need to hear *that*
from some incredulous do-nothing.
**[17:46] ---**
Captain of the 7th, sir, you're the
mightiest Fire Soldier, aren't you?
**[17:50] ---**
So powerful that you forced the empire
to acknowledge your town's *hikeshi* force?
**[17:55] ---**
Well now it's my turn to kick your ass
and make you acknowledge *me*!
**[18:01] ---**
"Fires and fistfights are
the flowers of Edo," huh?
**[18:12] ---**
Fire! Fire! Fire!
**[18:15] ---**
An Infernal?
**[18:17] ---**
You had to go and jinx us, Waka.
**[18:19] ---**
Damn it.
**[18:24] ---**
Beat it on out of here before I get back.
**[18:33] ---**
That must be it.
**[18:35] ---**
Who is it?
**[18:36] ---**
The ever-ostentatious Kantaro.
**[18:40] ---**
He just barely invited me
to have a drink with him.
**[18:45] ---**
Kantaro over on Block 3 has turned Infernal!
**[18:49] ---**
*Seiya! Soiya! Seiya! Soiya!*
**[18:51] ---**
*Seiya! Soiya! Seiya! Soiya!*
*Seiya! Soiya! Seiya!*
**[18:56] ---**
What's he planning to do?
**[18:58] ---**
The festival is beginning!
**[19:11] ---**
Those homes!
**[19:19] ---**
He flew away.
**[19:21] ---**
What kind of ability does their captain have?
**[19:26] ---**
There you are, you old coot!
**[19:29] ---**
--Waka!
--Waka!
**[19:45] ---**
Another block!
**[19:47] ---**
We can rebuild houses as much as we need to.
**[19:50] ---**
But now that Kantaro has become
an Infernal, his life is over.
**[19:59] ---**
What's going on? Is he starting fires
and controlling the flames?
**[20:04] ---**
There may be a trick to
those *matoi* he's using.
**[20:07] ---**
Waka can use both
third-generation pyrokinetic
**[20:10] ---**
and second-generation
flame manipulation abilities.
**[20:14] ---**
Creating fires and controlling them
are a piece of cake for him.
**[20:19] ---**
He's a compound Fire
Soldier, unlike any other.
**[20:22] ---**
"Compound Fire Soldier"
"Shinmon Benimaru"
**[20:29] ---**
Look at this, Kantaro!
The whole block is a mess!
**[20:33] ---**
You're much too old to be running
around like this, you old coot!
**[20:40] ---**
This is just like you--always so
ostentatious. Aren't you?
**[20:55] ---**
Way to hang in there.
**[21:11] ---**
Thank you for letting me
see Kantaro through to the end.
**[21:18] ---**
Did Benimaru-*chan*'s way
of putting someone to rest
**[21:20] ---**
strike an 8th Fire Soldier
like yourself as being too rough?
**[21:24] ---**
Just as the Holy Sol religion
offers its prayers,
**[21:27] ---**
we have our destroyed block offerings.
**[21:31] ---**
Everyone in our world is terrified
by the flames of Infernalization,
**[21:35] ---**
and are looking for a place to die.
**[21:38] ---**
As far as the people here go,
if we have to die anyway,
**[21:41] ---**
we want to have Benimaru-*chan*
be the one putting us to rest.
**[21:46] ---**
Shinmon Benimaru,
the demolishing king of Asakusa.
**[22:17] ---**
Too sweet.
**[22:19] ---**
**[22:19] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:09] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:37] ---**
*Tamaya!*
**[00:39] ---**
*Kagiya!*
**[00:41] ---**
It's almost like a festival, huh?
**[00:43] ---**
It must be their own special way of mourning,
**[00:46] ---**
because it's different from
other proto-nationalist funerals.
**[00:52] ---**
Scaffolders, get started on repairs!
**[00:54] ---**
--Right!
--Right!
**[00:55] ---**
Anyone whose house was
demolished for Kantaro's funeral,
**[00:57] ---**
you can stay at the guardhouse!
**[01:00] ---**
We'll look after you until
the repair work is completed!
**[01:05] ---**
Captain, would it be okay if we went
to help with the repairs, too?
**[01:10] ---**
Good idea. We can't really
negotiate an investigation
**[01:14] ---**
until the town gets fixed up.
**[01:32] ---**
Hey!
**[01:33] ---**
Please let the 8th help!
**[01:35] ---**
With my ability, hauling stuff and
elevated work will be no problem.
**[01:45] ---**
I'll move this rubble out of the way, too.
**[01:52] ---**
You can leave the welding to me.
**[01:59] ---**
Oh, not bad.
**[02:00] ---**
Oh...
**[02:07] ---**
This is too heavy to move.
**[02:44] ---**
The 8th's Matchbox was down
on Yagen Street in Asakusa.
**[02:49] ---**
What would the 8th be doing
in the 7th's jurisdiction?
**[02:53] ---**
The 8th went to investigate
the 1st over the Rekka matter.
**[02:57] ---**
They may be trying to sniff us out.
**[03:00] ---**
What does the Evangelist say?
**[03:03] ---**
"Exterminate them."
We failed to finish the job last time.
**[03:09] ---**
Get the bugs and traps ready.
**[03:22] ---**
*The darkness is illuminated*
**[03:23] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to walking are weeded out*
**[03:27] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[03:30] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[03:32] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[03:34] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed to walking?*
**[03:37] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*
**[03:40] ---**
*but we're enveloped in warmth*
**[03:42] ---**
*Flames rise to show us the way*
**[03:47] ---**
*reminding us of a gentle melody*
**[03:54] ---**
*There is no eternity, none at all, they say*

*I just smile, thinking that's fine with me*

**[04:09] ---**

**[04:20] ---**
*Playthings that make sounds*
**[04:23] ---**
*and magic that chases pain away*
**[04:26] ---**
*are all precious treasures to me*
**[04:31] ---**

**[04:35] ---**
*We'll keep on walking until the day*
**[04:41] ---**

**[04:49] ---**
Today's work is done!
**[04:51] ---**
Today's work is done!
**[04:58] ---**
You don't have to trouble yourself, Waka.
**[05:01] ---**
The youngsters have finally gotten a breather.
At least let me do this much.
**[05:06] ---**
Thank you.
**[05:09] ---**
Does that hurt?
**[05:11] ---**
No, it's just cold.
**[05:15] ---**
You really should have been the
one to become captain, Konro.
**[05:21] ---**
This is the 7th, where
the rowdies come to live.
**[05:25] ---**
Anyone who can't fight
has no business being the captain.
**[05:33] ---**
Konro!
**[05:34] ---**
Waka!
**[05:35] ---**
Hey, hold on!
**[05:37] ---**
What? What's going on?
**[05:39] ---**
This big bozo is chasing
Hika and Hina, trying to eat us!
**[05:42] ---**
He's seriously screwed up!
**[05:44] ---**
I was just playing tag with you,
and you call me a bozo, you jerk?
**[05:48] ---**
I'm not showing off my
flaming top for you anymore.
**[05:51] ---**
Flaming top?
**[05:53] ---**
He shoots flames out of his feet
and spins around wicked fast.
**[05:56] ---**
It's so ridiculous!
**[05:59] ---**
It's breakin'! Break dancing!
And it's not ridiculous, it's cool!
**[06:04] ---**
Heh, such a kid...
**[06:08] ---**
Sorry about this, 8th. Not only
do we have you help with repairs,
**[06:12] ---**
--but now you're looking
after the little ones.
**[06:13] ---**
--We're not little! We'll smoosh you, Konro!
--but now you're looking after the little ones.
**[06:16] ---**
--Nah, I don't mind hanging
out with children.
**[06:18] ---**
--Don't treat us like children!
--Nah, I don't mind hanging out with children.
**[06:19] ---**
We'll smoosh you, Shinra!
**[06:24] ---**
Here, I'll show you my
flaming top. Here goes...
**[06:27] ---**
Shut up! Don't tell Hika and Hina what to do!
**[06:35] ---**
The folks from the 8th are
some fairly pleasant people.
**[06:40] ---**
They're not the same sort as
the other Fire Force companies.
**[06:43] ---**
Kind of like those of us in the 7th.
**[06:46] ---**
I guess.
**[06:49] ---**
Why not cooperate with their investigation?
**[06:53] ---**
If you were the captain,
is that what you'd do?
**[06:59] ---**
Waka, you weren't chosen to be the
captain just because you're strong.
**[07:05] ---**
The reason the 8th's folks were
helping us is because you--
**[07:08] ---**
I know. I've heard it over and over.
**[07:11] ---**
I'm just not cut out for this sort
of thing--being in charge of others.
**[07:21] ---**
Come on, face forward.
I can't wrap this bandage.
**[07:25] ---**
I'll cooperate. I don't
dislike these 8th folks.
**[07:30] ---**
"Episode 12:
Eve of Hostilities in Asakusa"
**[07:38] ---**
--Ah! Waka!
--Ah! Waka!
**[07:40] ---**
I'm sorry about before, sir.
**[07:42] ---**
Oh, no biggie.
**[07:46] ---**
Um, about Lieutenant Konro's body...
**[07:50] ---**
When a third generation exceeds
the limit of his pyrokinesis,
**[07:54] ---**
his body starts incinerating
if he keeps going,
**[07:57] ---**
and before long, is reduced to ash.
**[08:00] ---**
Tephrosis.
**[08:02] ---**
Is this your first time seeing it?
**[08:04] ---**
We learned about it at the Training Academy,
**[08:06] ---**
but this is my first time
seeing it in person.
**[08:09] ---**
At the time, I...
**[08:16] ---**
Shinra,
**[08:17] ---**
I need to talk to your captain. Where is he?
**[08:21] ---**
I was actually asked by him to
come and get you, Captain Shinmon.
**[08:26] ---**
He's across the way talking
to Lieutenant Hinawa, sir.
**[08:33] ---**
What are you going to do now?
Are you going back to the 8th?
**[08:36] ---**
As long as you're here, you could
always stay over at our station.
**[08:39] ---**
It wasn't what we planned,
**[08:41] ---**
but after helping out with the repairs,
**[08:43] ---**
we're on much better terms with the 7th guys.
**[08:46] ---**
Hey, lady, strip again for us, okay?
**[08:49] ---**
I will not!
**[08:51] ---**
I hope we'll get permission to
conduct our investigation now.
**[08:55] ---**
Captain Shinmon said he wanted
to talk to Captain Obi earlier,
**[09:00] ---**
so I think we'll be able to investigate.
**[09:03] ---**
All we have so far are just breadcrumbs,
**[09:05] ---**
but we're still getting after the Evangelist.
**[09:14] ---**
Seeing as how there are so many
proto-nationalists in the 7th,
**[09:17] ---**
we left Iris-*sama* behind,
**[09:19] ---**
and the 5th is holding down things
at the 8th while we're gone.
**[09:24] ---**
I sure hope we can start investigating soon.
**[09:28] ---**
"Nonessential"
**[09:29] ---**
Get that desk out of there
and set up Shinra's desk!
**[09:33] ---**
You can toss Obi's personal
things outside or something!
**[09:35] ---**
Oh... n-nee-*san*...
**[09:38] ---**
Captain Hibana, what is the reason for this?
**[09:41] ---**
Punishment for getting carried away
and driving the 5th so hard.
**[09:44] ---**
Should we just accept this?
**[09:48] ---**
*Látom.*
**[09:50] ---**
Gravel! You gravel! Where does gravel
get off telling *me* what to do?!
**[09:54] ---**
Ah! I am gravel! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[09:58] ---**
Please, step on me even more!
**[10:07] ---**
That went well, huh, Lieutenant?
**[10:09] ---**
Yes it did.
**[10:11] ---**
We succeeded in turning that
Kantaro guy into an Infernal.
**[10:14] ---**
That we did.
**[10:16] ---**
Let's turn even more people
in this town into Infernals.
**[10:19] ---**
Yes, let's.
**[10:24] ---**
A fire?
**[10:25] ---**
Maki-*san*!
**[10:26] ---**
I'm going to go check!
**[10:28] ---**
Don't do anything rash until
we meet up with the captain!
**[10:34] ---**
What's suddenly happening?
Why is he attacking?
**[10:36] ---**
It's because you ate their *daifuku*, Captain!
**[10:40] ---**
It was only one! He's overreacting!
**[10:47] ---**
I'll kill you.
**[10:49] ---**
What's the matter?
**[10:50] ---**
Shut up. Don't think you're getting
out of Asakusa without paying.
**[10:57] ---**
You turned Kantaro into an Infernal.
**[11:03] ---**
*We* made him an Infernal?
Captain Shinmon, what are you--?
**[11:09] ---**
Don't play dumb! Your true intent
is to turn this city upside down!
**[11:15] ---**
You tricked us. I saw it with my own eyes.
**[11:23] ---**
I don't know what you saw, sir,
but please take it easy!
**[11:26] ---**
Huh? Screw that!
There's no reason to take it easy!
**[11:30] ---**
"Evangelist" my ass!
**[11:32] ---**
I saw your captain and lieutenant
**[11:34] ---**
plotting how to turn this
town's people into Infernals!
**[11:39] ---**
You're mistaken!
**[11:40] ---**
I'll crush you all and string you up!
**[11:44] ---**
I know exactly what I saw.
**[11:47] ---**
It was definitely them.
**[11:49] ---**
Captain, I don't think he's joking around.
**[11:52] ---**
Wait a minute, please!
We don't want to fight you!
**[11:56] ---**
Then go ahead and defeat me,
and prove to me what you really want!
**[12:00] ---**
Around here, might makes right!
**[12:02] ---**
If you don't want to fight me,
then prove it by fighting me!
**[12:08] ---**
Bring it on, 8th!
**[12:11] ---**
You're facing Shinmon Benimaru!
**[12:13] ---**
We managed to instigate him.
**[12:15] ---**
Yes.
**[12:16] ---**
On to our next trick.
**[12:23] ---**
Hinawa!
**[12:24] ---**
Leave it to me, sir.
**[12:28] ---**
Waka! The musclebound
dummy is running away!
**[12:33] ---**
Hiding behind women and children?
Just how rotten is your core?!
**[12:38] ---**
Everyone, get back!
**[12:41] ---**
We're Fire Soldiers, too! Would you
mind not looking down on us?!
**[12:45] ---**
Did you think you deflected that?
**[12:49] ---**
Maki-*san*!
**[12:59] ---**
Whoa...
**[13:04] ---**
You can fire your peashooter at me
all you want, but it won't work.
**[13:07] ---**
I know it won't work. I was just seeing
how much of your second generation
**[13:13] ---**
and third generation abilities
you can use at the same time.
**[13:17] ---**
Arthur! Tamaki!
**[13:42] ---**
Iai Chop, Form One...
**[13:46] ---**
Fire Moon.
**[13:58] ---**
Is that all you've got, 8th?!
**[14:11] ---**
What have you done to my men?
**[14:14] ---**
Captain Obi...
**[14:17] ---**
Let's settle this, captain to captain!
**[14:35] ---**
Why the hell did you turn somebody
from my town into an Infernal?
**[14:38] ---**
No matter what I say,
you aren't going to listen.
**[14:41] ---**
So just shut up and come at me!
**[14:43] ---**
You reveal your true nature, you scum!
**[14:53] ---**
You're not canceling them out?
**[14:54] ---**
Cancel them? There's no way
I can do that, you know.
**[14:59] ---**
I don't have any powers!
**[15:01] ---**
You what?
**[15:06] ---**
Then aren't you afraid of flames?
**[15:08] ---**
Sure I am! They're hot!
**[15:17] ---**
Why would somebody who
knows the terror of flames
**[15:20] ---**
gratuitously turn Kantaro into an Infernal?!
**[15:24] ---**
I'm telling you, there's been
some kind of mistake!
**[15:28] ---**
I clearly saw you! There can be no mistake!
**[15:32] ---**
Captain!
**[15:37] ---**
Don't talk to me about second
generation or third generation.
**[15:41] ---**
I train every day.
**[15:45] ---**
An extinguisher grenade?
**[16:07] ---**
You gassed yourself, too?
**[16:22] ---**
I finally got one shot in.
**[16:24] ---**
You're not one to shy away, are you?
**[16:28] ---**
There's no way I could possibly shy away.
**[16:31] ---**
I've taken being the captain
of the 8th upon myself!
**[16:37] ---**
What's with the musclebound dummy?
He's unpowered, right?
**[16:40] ---**
He got a shot in against Waka.
**[16:42] ---**
Is the captain really that strong?
**[16:45] ---**
What, did you think he was weak?
**[16:48] ---**
But still, I can't bear to watch him
fight so recklessly.
**[16:53] ---**
Both Captain Shinmon and Captain Obi
**[16:56] ---**
have an innate knack for
winning people over to them.
**[16:59] ---**
We can't let the two of them
keep fighting anymore.
**[17:02] ---**
Is there any way we can stop them?
**[17:04] ---**
Is beating him the only way
to set the record straight?
**[17:08] ---**
--Waka!
--Let him have it!
**[17:11] ---**
What in the world is all this ruckus?
**[17:13] ---**
Word is that the 8th folks are the ones
who turned Kantaro into an Infernal.
**[17:17] ---**
Waka snapped and started this huge fight.
**[17:19] ---**
--Munch!
--Munch!
**[17:21] ---**
What? That's ridiculous.
**[17:27] ---**
Someone as strong as you? I'm not buying it!
**[17:34] ---**
You won't go down without
a full-fledged attack, then?
**[17:38] ---**
Then I'm done playing around.
**[17:42] ---**
What is he planning to do?
**[17:43] ---**
No!
**[17:46] ---**
Iai Chop, Form Seven:
**[17:50] ---**
Sun Wheel.
**[17:51] ---**
Waka! Don't!
**[17:53] ---**
Don't stop me, Konro.
**[17:55] ---**
Did you know that these guys
**[17:58] ---**
are trying to turn the people
of our town into Infernals?
**[18:01] ---**
That's ridiculous.
**[18:03] ---**
I saw these two plotting it out!
**[18:05] ---**
How many times do I have to
tell you, you're mistaken?!
**[18:10] ---**
Take this!
**[18:13] ---**
Konro! Let me go!
**[18:14] ---**
Waka, cool your jets!
**[18:17] ---**
You dumbass! Why the hell are you
using your pyrokinesis?!
**[18:23] ---**
Hikage! Hinata! Bring me a cooling blanket!
**[18:26] ---**
Roger!
**[18:26] ---**
Wilco!
**[18:28] ---**
Waka, why don't you at least
hear out what the 8th has to say?
**[18:43] ---**
What were you all doing when
Waka saw what he thinks he saw?
**[18:48] ---**
Captain Obi and I
**[18:50] ---**
were buying some items we were
short on at the town general store.
**[18:53] ---**
We also told Maki that's where we were going.
**[18:56] ---**
Yes, that's true.
**[18:57] ---**
Huh? But the captain told me
to go and get Captain Shinmon,
**[19:01] ---**
and that he'd be waiting in the back alley.
**[19:04] ---**
I heard as much, and that's
when I headed toward you.
**[19:08] ---**
I don't remember ever saying that.
**[19:11] ---**
Are you trying to fool your own men?!
**[19:14] ---**
I'm going to go ask around
at the general store.
**[19:20] ---**
For Konro's sake, I'm going to
excuse this for the moment.
**[19:23] ---**
Do not leave here until
I say you're in the clear.
**[19:31] ---**
Honestly, Waka is such a stubborn boy.
**[19:36] ---**
After all this time, he's still the same.
**[19:42] ---**
Lieutenant Konro,
**[19:43] ---**
would you tell us what happened to your body?
**[19:48] ---**
It's all because I wasn't strong enough.
**[19:53] ---**
Captain Shinmon seemed
remorseful about it, as well.
**[19:58] ---**
Waka did nothing wrong.
Waka didn't do anything wrong.
**[20:05] ---**
Do you want to hear about it?
**[20:08] ---**
It happened before we formally
joined the Special Fire Force.
**[20:14] ---**
"Solar Year 196"
**[20:18] ---**
"Tokyo, Asakusa"
**[20:22] ---**
Run to the river!
**[20:31] ---**
What the hell is going on?
**[20:33] ---**
How can there be this many
Infernalizations in one night?
**[20:37] ---**
Whatever the reason, right now,
we have to get the people safely evacuated.
**[20:41] ---**
What about the Special Fire Force?
When are they finally going to get here?
**[20:46] ---**
We can't rely on them. We'll do it ourselves.
**[20:52] ---**
Beni!
**[20:53] ---**
Damn it... Can't breathe...
**[20:56] ---**
Try as I might, it doesn't feel like
I'm getting any oxygen...
**[21:00] ---**
You're at your pyrokinetic limit.
Beni, you stay here.
**[21:04] ---**
Don't be a dumbass!
You're in the same boat as I am!
**[21:10] ---**
Wha--?
**[21:21] ---**
What is that thing?
**[21:25] ---**
A demon?!
**[21:34] ---**
That Infernal... is...
**[21:39] ---**
Oh, no!
**[21:42] ---**
What the hell are you doing,
**[21:44] ---**
Konro?!
**[21:48] ---**
I have to go that far, or else a hell-raiser
like yourself won't sit still.
**[21:56] ---**
Beni, this isn't where you're
going to meet your end.
**[22:10] ---**
I'll deal with this!
**[22:13] ---**
**[22:15] ---**
**[22:17] ---**

Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:08] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:32] ---**
Day... is breaking.
**[00:47] ---**
Konro!

"Solar Year 196--Tokyo, Asakusa"
**[01:09] ---**
Are you okay? Where is that Infernal?
**[01:13] ---**
Yeah, Beni... I made it...
**[01:17] ---**
You've carbonized, you know.
**[01:22] ---**
How come? If I'd fought with you,
**[01:26] ---**
you wouldn't have had to get this beaten up.
**[01:31] ---**
Why didn't you let me fight, too?
**[01:36] ---**
Beni, we can't afford to
lose you at a time like this.
**[01:41] ---**
You dumbass!
**[01:43] ---**
We're all still here because of you!
**[01:46] ---**
Now that you've ended up like this,
who's gonna be in charge of Asakusa?!
**[01:53] ---**
*You're* going to, Benimaru.
**[02:00] ---**
--Look and make sure there are no
civilians buried under the houses!
**[02:01] ---**
--The Special Fire Force.
--Look and make sure there are no
civilians buried under the houses!
**[02:02] ---**
--The Special Fire Force.
--There may still be Infernals around, too!
**[02:03] ---**
--They show up after it's all over.
--There may still be Infernals around, too!
**[02:06] ---**
Those could collapse at any time!
Watch yourselves!
**[02:17] ---**
I'm Soichiro Hague, captain of
Special Fire Force Company 4.
**[02:21] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 4"
"Captain"
"Soichiro Hague"
**[02:25] ---**
Konro-*kun*, right? You're the
neighborhood watch representative?
**[02:30] ---**
By order of the emperor, the Asakusa *hikeshis*
**[02:34] ---**
are hereby formally inducted into
the Special Fire Force as Company 7.
**[02:39] ---**
You're just afraid of what we can do!
**[02:42] ---**
Beni, hold on a second.
**[02:44] ---**
We'll be the 7th? What's in it for us?
**[02:49] ---**
Once you're an official company of the empire,
you'll be supported financially,
**[02:53] ---**
as well as given equipment, supplies,
and top-notch personnel.
**[02:58] ---**
I do not see any reason for you to decline.
**[03:02] ---**
I can't answer you immediately.
Let me consider it.
**[03:15] ---**
It will be comforting to have
tough men like you on our side.
**[03:20] ---**
I'm looking forward to your favorable response.
**[03:26] ---**
You're thinking of becoming an imperial dog?!
**[03:29] ---**
If we could have operated
as an official company,
**[03:32] ---**
the damage we suffered this time around
might have been a bit lower.
**[03:36] ---**
If the empire means to exploit us,
we can just exploit the empire right back.

"Tokyo, Asakusa"
**[04:01] ---**
The fact that my body has
gotten like this is on me.
**[04:06] ---**
Waka has nothing to be concerned about.
**[04:08] ---**
You went to that length for Captain Shinmon?
**[04:15] ---**
Waka is the person who should be in charge.
**[04:19] ---**
I have no regrets sacrificing
my body to intercede, either.
**[04:24] ---**
You men know what I mean, right?
If it means supporting Waka,
**[04:28] ---**
I'll offer my two-bit life
as many times as I need to.
**[04:37] ---**
You shouldn't do that, sir.
**[04:41] ---**
For almost as long as I
can remember, my family...
**[04:45] ---**
...and everything else
I held dear has been lost.
**[04:48] ---**
So to me, there are no two-bit lives,
or even high-priced ones.
**[04:53] ---**
Everyone's life is precious.
**[04:57] ---**
I want to be a hero that saves everyone!
**[05:00] ---**
Lieutenant Konro, before you
decide to give your life away,
**[05:04] ---**
please use me!
**[05:06] ---**
I want to be of help!
**[05:18] ---**
Thanks. I appreciate how you feel.
**[05:22] ---**
Until you find something that's truly
important to you, I'll count on you.
**[05:27] ---**
Important to me?
**[05:29] ---**
I feel much better after
staying here and talking to you,
**[05:33] ---**
but I can't lie around all day.
I'm going to go do some interviews, too.
**[05:37] ---**
Is there no way that we can
help with the investigation?
**[05:44] ---**
It won't bother me.
**[05:46] ---**
As long as I'm there,
it shouldn't be a problem.
**[05:52] ---**
I found you!
**[05:53] ---**
--Are you still going to pretend you weren't
horsing around with my Kanna?!
--You just got through telling me to, remember?!
**[05:56] ---**
What are you saying?! Why would I
tell you to throw out my shoes?!
**[06:00] ---**
What's going on here?

Ah! What did you do,
you rotten onion-headed knight?!
**[08:58] ---**
--How could you do that to a child?!
--I thought you were a good idiot!
**[09:00] ---**
But you were a bad idiot, huh?
**[09:02] ---**
Look closer! That's definitely
a tiny old man dressed up like a girl!

Are your eyes stupid, too?!

Whoa, take it easy, there, 8th.

Huh? A tiny old man...?

That's not Hikage!
**[09:33] ---**
I told you so.

What the hell...?
**[09:44] ---**
Your face is my canvas. You're going
from regular person to work of art.
**[09:50] ---**
As quick as a dart,
**[09:51] ---**
"art."
**[09:54] ---**
It feels great. It feels great.
**[09:58] ---**
You'll be fine.
**[09:59] ---**
It feels great?
**[10:00] ---**
I use heat to manipulate blood vessels,
dilating your capillaries and lymph ducts.
**[10:05] ---**
Then I utilize the localized swelling
to change the shape of your face.
**[10:11] ---**
That's it, relax. You are
going to be a work of art.
**[10:19] ---**
It feels great?
**[10:26] ---**
No, I don't like this.

--Hold on! I'm not the one who did that!

misunderstandings taking place?

Is there a shapeshifting
fox about, or something?

How could I even be at your restaurant
when I was eating elsewhere?!
**[11:22] ---**
How the hell am I supposed to know?!
**[11:24] ---**
This is the same thing I
went through earlier tonight.
**[11:30] ---**
--Infernal!
--There's an Infernal!
**[11:32] ---**
There's an Infernal here, too!
**[11:33] ---**
Hurry and call the Fire Force!
**[11:36] ---**
Not now!
**[11:40] ---**
In the chaos of the fires and the impostors,
no one will trust anyone now.
**[11:44] ---**
Then they will learn that Sol
is the only thing they can believe in.
**[11:49] ---**
Asakusa is a power spot.
**[11:52] ---**
Someone compatible may
come about through the bugs.
**[11:55] ---**
Or perhaps another demon may be born.
**[11:58] ---**
We'll take advantage of
the confusion to hit the 8th.
**[12:03] ---**
Here we go.
**[12:05] ---**
Infernal!
**[12:07] ---**
Yo-*chan* has gone and turned Infernal!
**[12:09] ---**
Captain, let's help to put them to rest!
**[12:12] ---**
No! This is the 7th's jurisdiction.
We can't take any action on our own.
**[12:17] ---**
You want us to just sit on our hands and watch?
**[12:20] ---**
While we may have Tamaki here,
who has undergone sister training,
**[12:24] ---**
she hasn't taken her vows, so we can't
officially put anyone to rest.
**[12:28] ---**
Besides, there are some here who don't
wish to be put to rest the imperial way.
**[12:33] ---**
As far as the people here go,
if we have to die anyway,
**[12:36] ---**
we want to have Benimaru-*chan*
be the one putting us to rest.
**[12:41] ---**
Where has Waka gone?
**[12:44] ---**
The 8th will rescue civilians
and direct the evacuation!
**[12:48] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[12:50] ---**
Maki-*san*!
**[12:53] ---**
We're being sniped at?!
**[12:54] ---**
Kusakabe, that was...
**[12:57] ---**
Yeah, the same as the time with Rekka.
**[13:00] ---**
Stay back! I've got this!
**[13:06] ---**
Can't deflect... it...
**[13:12] ---**
Transmogrify!
**[13:17] ---**
Maki-*san*!
**[13:19] ---**
I'm all right. Sputter came
leaping into my arms.
**[13:24] ---**
I'll draw their fire!
**[13:26] ---**
Don't do anything crazy!
**[13:27] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[13:28] ---**
You go, too, Arthur.
**[13:30] ---**
That was in-enviable!
**[13:30] ---**
"Correct: 'inevitable'"
**[13:35] ---**
It curved?
**[13:40] ---**
The second shot may have curved,
**[13:42] ---**
but it clearly came from a
different spot than the first one.
**[13:45] ---**
--Just admit it!
**[13:46] ---**
--They're taking advantage of the chaos
to shoot while on the run.
--Just admit it!
**[13:47] ---**
--They're taking advantage of the chaos
to shoot while on the run.
--Infernal!
**[13:47] ---**
--They're taking advantage of the chaos
to shoot while on the run.
--Shut up! Stop shouting!
**[13:49] ---**
If they attack again right away,
the third shot will come from...
**[13:53] ---**
...over there!
**[13:57] ---**
Hey, what was that explosion just now?!
**[14:00] ---**
That explosion was mostly from my kick.
**[14:03] ---**
That flame arrow wasn't about to
be deflected from its course,
**[14:06] ---**
even when I tried to turn it aside.
**[14:10] ---**
What's more,
**[14:12] ---**
the third shot came from
a good ways off from me.
**[14:16] ---**
Are they trying to avoid me getting too close?
**[14:19] ---**
Or maybe they're luring me away to
separate me from the rest of the 8th.
**[14:26] ---**
Even if they are...
**[14:28] ---**
Arthur, you keep pursuing them on foot!
**[14:30] ---**
I'll direct you to where they're
shooting from each time!
**[14:33] ---**
If you tell me left, or right, or east,
or whatever, I'm not going to get it.
**[14:37] ---**
Make sure you point!
**[14:39] ---**
Is he acting big about how dumb he is?
**[14:41] ---**
Let's go!
**[15:04] ---**
Where is the real Hikage?
**[15:06] ---**
Were you also the one who
transformed into the 8th's captain?
**[15:09] ---**
People are untrustworthy. They lie.
They deceive. They betray. They die easily.
**[15:16] ---**
That's why we need Sol.
**[15:19] ---**
I didn't ask you about any of that "God" crap!
**[15:23] ---**
I only want to hear one thing from you.
**[15:25] ---**
Y-You're hurting me...
**[15:28] ---**
What have you done with Hikage?
**[15:35] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:36] ---**
You proto-nationalist scum
who turn your backs on Sol,
**[15:40] ---**
I have nothing to say to any of you.
**[15:45] ---**
A vial? Did you...?
**[15:53] ---**
Long live the Great Sol and the Evangelist--
**[15:56] ---**
The flame...
**[15:58] ---**
...is the soul's breath.
**[16:00] ---**
The black smoke is the soul's release.
**[16:04] ---**
Ashes thou wert and art. May thy soul...
**[16:08] ---**
...return to the great flame of fire.
**[16:13] ---**
*Látom*.
**[16:15] ---**
--*Látom*.
--*Látom*.
**[16:18] ---**
Gross.
**[16:19] ---**
Damn it, what the hell was that?
**[16:22] ---**
Was that one of those
artificial Infernalizations?
**[16:26] ---**
Sorry for not doing that
proto-nationalist style.
**[16:28] ---**
No sweat. The guy wasn't
from Asakusa anyway.
**[16:32] ---**
Also...
**[16:35] ---**
We tried to evacuate the town's people,
but they would not do a thing we said.
**[16:43] ---**
We need someone who can lead them.
**[16:50] ---**
Waka...
**[17:03] ---**
Hey! Don't go there, you people!
That way is an inferno!
**[17:07] ---**
Waka! There are Infernals over there, too!
**[17:10] ---**
We can't stop them anymore by ourselves!
**[17:13] ---**
I'll see to the Infernals. Can you
somehow direct the townspeople?
**[17:18] ---**
There appear to be people throughout
the town stirring things up.
**[17:23] ---**
Konro, what would *you* do?
**[17:30] ---**
Where are you? Where did you go?
**[17:47] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[18:00] ---**
It's no use. You can't stop my arrow.
**[18:13] ---**
White-Clad. You're in league
with the Evangelist.
**[18:17] ---**
Hmph.
**[18:21] ---**
Arthur!
**[18:24] ---**
Again? That sword has
a rather strong-willed flame.
**[18:29] ---**
Oh, no you don't!
**[18:31] ---**
You dumbass! Stay out of my way!
**[18:33] ---**
I was trying to help you, you know!
**[18:40] ---**
You keep out of this!
**[18:42] ---**
No, *you* keep out of this!
**[18:48] ---**
If you can repel my arrows,
I'll just have to use exploding ones.
**[18:57] ---**
Get off of me, now!
**[18:58] ---**
You just keep lying down! "Good knight"!
**[19:07] ---**
That hooded guy is still coming.
**[19:16] ---**
We have to work together, or they'll do us in.
**[19:20] ---**
You don't have to tell me, I get it.
**[19:22] ---**
Even when I tell you, you still don't get it--
**[19:24] ---**
Hmm?
**[19:29] ---**
I'm Puts-Up-with-Stuff-That-Sucks Man.
**[19:31] ---**
Hmph.
**[19:36] ---**
People talk about being on the same page,
but I'm not expecting that with you.
**[19:40] ---**
Let's split these two up somehow.
**[19:42] ---**
That does seem like the best plan.
**[19:44] ---**
You've got the longer reach,
so you take the hooded guy.
**[19:47] ---**
With my speed I can get in close,
so I'll take the archer.
**[19:51] ---**
The hooded guy moves to protect the archer,
so we have to peel him away.
**[19:56] ---**
--Let's do it!
--Yeah--
**[20:04] ---**
The reason why they can move around so well
**[20:06] ---**
is because their forward and rearward
responsibilities don't overlap.
**[20:10] ---**
We need to establish our
own formation, too. Meaning...
**[20:14] ---**
Meaning...?
**[20:16] ---**
Like this, right?
**[20:25] ---**
You can't escape!
**[20:28] ---**
There's no way you're getting away!
**[20:39] ---**
Forfei-- Forbear!
**[20:41] ---**
"Correct: 'forfeit'"
**[20:47] ---**
Fall back, Arrow!
**[20:50] ---**
You can't escape!
**[20:54] ---**
A bug!
**[21:09] ---**
Beni!
**[21:13] ---**
Beni!
**[21:31] ---**
I don't know your name, but at least
let me relieve your suffering.
**[21:48] ---**
Way to hang in there.
**[21:50] ---**
**[21:52] ---**
**[21:54] ---**
**[22:18] ---**
"To be continued"
**[22:22] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[22:25] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[22:28] ---**
*but words that simply hang in the air*
**[22:32] ---**
*are not enough to save you*

**[22:54] ---**
*and pain that brings no warmth*
**[22:57] ---**
*to make it to a faraway place*
**[23:01] ---**
*Given the hope that you speak of*

*or the ideals that you dream of*
**[23:08] ---**
*I'll find a way to show you love,*

*but that changes when the nights grow fevered*
**[23:32] ---**
*Even if we let go of each other's hands,*
**[23:36] ---**

**[00:02] ---**
Causes of death are many and varied.
Old age, suicide, illness...
**[00:09] ---**
But the cause of death that scares
the most people in this day and age...
**[00:31] ---**
I'm begging you, go where you're directed!
**[00:33] ---**
Shut up! I don't want your opinion!
**[00:38] ---**
When faced with an unexpected disaster,
**[00:41] ---**
those taking the correct course
of action are roughly 10%.
**[00:44] ---**
Those who are frantic and take
inadequate action make up 20%.
**[00:49] ---**
The remaining 70% are struck
motionless out of shock.
**[00:55] ---**
Which is why they need a leader to direct them.
**[00:59] ---**
You are the only one who can
disrupt this situation...
**[01:04] ---**
...demolishing king of Asakusa.
**[01:12] ---**
Konro!
**[01:14] ---**
I've been looking for you.
**[01:15] ---**
Yeah, me, too. The Infernals and the
fighting in town are only getting worse.
**[01:21] ---**
There are misunderstandings all over,
and nobody knows what's happening.
**[01:25] ---**
Apparently, there's an enemy
that can alter people's faces.
**[01:28] ---**
Then tell that to the folks in town!
**[01:31] ---**
They won't listen to anyone else but you!
**[01:34] ---**
Give a speech that will calm Asakusa down!
**[01:37] ---**
That is not my duty to perform, sir.
**[01:41] ---**
Everyone down there is waiting for
the big man to bring order out of chaos.
**[01:47] ---**
Yeah, which is why I came here.
It's because everybody is so upset
**[01:51] ---**
that we need to hear from someone
with your kind of level-headed judgment.
**[01:56] ---**
Waka, are you still talking like that?
**[02:08] ---**
You can't keep deferring to me.
**[02:12] ---**
It's time for you to make your resolve, already.
**[02:16] ---**
No matter what anyone else says,
Asakusa is your town, Waka.
**[02:24] ---**
They don't want to hear just anyone's words;
**[02:26] ---**
they want to hear the words of Beni.
**[02:38] ---**
Konro, get down off the tower.
**[02:42] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[02:45] ---**
Someone like me can't do anything
else but tear things down.
**[02:50] ---**
That's the best you can expect.
**[02:56] ---**
I'm going to smash things up.
**[02:58] ---**

*The darkness is illuminated*
**[03:09] ---**
*The days we've grown accustomed*
*to walking are weeded out*
**[03:13] ---**
*My dream might be to make a stable living*
**[03:16] ---**
*but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation*
**[03:18] ---**
*The end is illuminated*
**[03:20] ---**
*Where are the streets we're*
*accustomed to walking?*
**[03:23] ---**
*Time can sometimes be irksome,*
**[03:26] ---**
*but we're enveloped in warmth*
**[03:28] ---**
*Flames rise to show us the way*
**[03:33] ---**
*reminding us of a gentle melody*

**[04:42] ---**
--Hey, out of the way, dumbass!
--You wanna get your ass kicked?!
**[04:44] ---**
That's enough, both of you!
**[04:45] ---**
Let me more hear of this shouting.
**[04:49] ---**
Ah, how rowdy.
**[04:52] ---**
Marvelous! This chaos is art!
**[04:57] ---**
Marvelous art of my making!
**[05:03] ---**
What was that?
**[05:11] ---**
Beni!
**[05:12] ---**
It's Beni-*chan*!
**[05:12] ---**
Benimaru!
**[05:14] ---**
Beni?
**[05:16] ---**
Th-The tower...
**[05:18] ---**
That's crazy.
**[05:28] ---**
Do you hear me, Asakusa?!
**[05:43] ---**
Right now, our town is
under attack from the outside!
**[05:48] ---**
They make themselves look just like
Asakusa folk, and trick us!
**[05:56] ---**
There's no way to tell who they are!
**[05:59] ---**
We are going to get nowhere like this!
**[06:03] ---**
But... I don't give a damn!
**[06:07] ---**
Yeah! Beni! Right! Right!
**[06:10] ---**
You must have something
in mind to be saying that!
**[06:16] ---**
He changed the whole atmosphere
in the blink of an eye.
**[06:19] ---**
This is what they mean when they say
"the word from on high."
**[06:23] ---**
Waka!
**[06:25] ---**
Captain Shinmon, what are your orders?!
**[06:37] ---**
All of you start clobbering each other!
Doesn't matter if you're fake or real!
**[06:43] ---**
The people of Asakusa will not be
outdone by a bunch of impostors!
**[06:47] ---**
Don't worry. The 7th will see to
the fires and the Infernals.
**[06:53] ---**
Beat each other up for all you're worth!
**[07:04] ---**
Festival's on! Festival!
**[07:06] ---**
Fight-fest!
**[07:11] ---**
Haran...
**[07:13] ---**
You ate a flame bug?
**[07:18] ---**
This is Asakusa. A power spot.
A demon might even appear.
**[07:24] ---**
So why don't I test that out on myself?
**[07:35] ---**
He turned himself into an Infernal.
**[07:44] ---**
Not just any Infernal. An Infernal with horns.
**[07:50] ---**
A demon.
**[07:55] ---**
--Ow!
--Now you've done it!
**[07:57] ---**
That hurt, you bastard!
**[08:01] ---**
How barbaric. This is not art!
**[08:09] ---**
There are definitely impostors being
beaten up with the real townspeople.
**[08:12] ---**
Should we start punching each other, too?
**[08:14] ---**
Give me a break, sir.
**[08:24] ---**
7th, your sparring partners will be the fires!
Get to work putting them out!
**[08:28] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[08:31] ---**
Lieutenant Konro, you sure seem happy.
**[08:35] ---**
Well of course I'm happy.
**[08:37] ---**
Honestly, he kept us waiting long enough.
**[08:50] ---**
It looks like I've found my opponent.
**[09:05] ---**
That... looks like him.
**[09:40] ---**
Huh?
**[09:42] ---**
That was an Adolla Link, huh? You really
don't belong in the Fire Force.
**[09:48] ---**
What was that?
**[09:50] ---**
Devil, yours are the flames
that exterminate mankind.
**[09:55] ---**
Hey, you dumbass devil! Help me out!
**[10:00] ---**
Arthur!
**[10:01] ---**
Huh? The bow chick... is gone?
**[10:21] ---**
You're hard!
**[10:32] ---**
You're facing *me* now.
**[10:40] ---**
Hey, captain of the 7th,
this isn't any ordinary Infernal.
**[10:46] ---**
Two years ago, a horned Infernal
appeared here in Asakusa.
**[10:51] ---**
It's the reason why Konro has his tephrosis.
**[10:55] ---**
You guys stay out of this.
I'm taking over this fight.
**[11:12] ---**
Hikage-*chan*!
**[11:15] ---**
Hikage!
**[11:16] ---**
Hika!
**[11:20] ---**
There's someone over there.
**[11:22] ---**
Over there?
**[11:29] ---**
You said you'd give me treats
in exchange for my kimono,
**[11:32] ---**
but they weren't nearly enough!
**[11:35] ---**
Damn you! I didn't even tell Hina!
Now Hina won't be happy, either!
**[11:41] ---**
Hika!
**[11:43] ---**
That jerk who pretended to be you
was so gross! Let's beat them silly.
**[11:48] ---**
Huh? So these guys are villains after all?
**[11:51] ---**
--Hee-hee-hee!
--Hee-hee-hee!
**[11:53] ---**
--Yi-i-ikes!
--Yi-i-ikes!
**[11:59] ---**
--That's hot! That's so hot! Hey!
--That's hot! That's so hot! Hey!
**[12:31] ---**
He's easily turning aside that
demon's ferocious attacks.
**[12:43] ---**
Ow. You're a hard one, all right.
**[12:47] ---**
Two years ago, Konro opened up
a gigantic hole in the ground.
**[12:52] ---**
That means I'm gonna need about
the same amount of firepower.
**[12:56] ---**
This is for what happened to Konro.
**[13:00] ---**
I can't afford to blow the whole
town apart in the process, though!
**[13:13] ---**
I'm just gonna take us someplace
a little more open.
**[13:18] ---**
Two Infernals at nine o'clock,
at the intersection 200 meters away.
**[13:22] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[13:23] ---**
What's that?!
**[13:24] ---**
It's the captain!
**[13:26] ---**
The sky, huh? Beni is the only one
who could pull this stunt off.
**[13:34] ---**
They're targeting Beni?!
**[13:37] ---**
I don't care how strong he is,
one direct hit and he's finished.
**[13:40] ---**
Oh, no you don't!
**[13:52] ---**
Beni...
**[13:57] ---**
My body... won't move...
Somebody... save Beni...
**[14:04] ---**
Before you decide to give
your life away, please use me!
**[14:09] ---**
Save Beni...
**[14:13] ---**
Shinra!
**[14:19] ---**
What was that? My legs again...
**[14:23] ---**
Thanks. I appreciate how you feel.
**[14:28] ---**
Lieutenant Konro?
**[14:32] ---**
That's...
**[14:33] ---**
I've got you.
**[14:35] ---**
What's the matter?!
**[14:37] ---**
No you don't!
**[14:41] ---**
The Devil's Footprints?
**[14:45] ---**
Let me be in time!
**[15:07] ---**
Shinra!
**[15:09] ---**
What speed he has.
**[15:11] ---**
He caught up to my arrow.
**[15:14] ---**
Still...
**[15:20] ---**
You can't deflect my arrow
with the will of your flames.
**[15:29] ---**
You really don't belong in the Fire Force.
**[15:35] ---**
Devil, yours are the flames
that exterminate mankind.
**[15:40] ---**
Screw that.
**[15:44] ---**
Mine are the flames that *preserve* mankind!
**[15:51] ---**
Shinra...
**[15:53] ---**
Come on!
**[15:57] ---**
Look up in the sky!
**[15:58] ---**
What is that?
**[16:00] ---**
You, who possess an Adolla Burst,
like the commander,
**[16:04] ---**
choose to be a tool of the ignoble?
**[16:07] ---**
Become a devil with us.
**[16:10] ---**
Help us burn this world down.
**[16:13] ---**
I'm going to be a hero that
saves everyone with my flames!
**[16:17] ---**
I'm going to prove that right now!
**[16:20] ---**
I'm Kick-This-Away-Whatever-It-Takes Man!
**[16:25] ---**
What?
**[16:28] ---**
He did it!
**[16:32] ---**
Captain Shinmon!
**[16:35] ---**
I'll take it from here.
**[16:38] ---**
This altitude should be high enough.
**[16:58] ---**
Iai Chop, Form Seven:
**[17:02] ---**
Sun Wheel!
**[17:06] ---**
Tch, not even that can crack you, huh?
**[17:10] ---**
Captain! Let him have it!
**[17:12] ---**
Keep Asakusa safe!
**[17:13] ---**
Go, Beni!
**[17:15] ---**
I don't care about the Evangelist or
the White-Clad, but Asakusa is *my* town!
**[17:21] ---**
I won't have anyone acting big in *my* home.
**[17:25] ---**
That's right, Beni. This is your town.
**[17:29] ---**
I'm going to have to borrow your move, Konro.
**[17:40] ---**
Those flames were...
**[17:44] ---**
...the Crimson Moon...
**[17:48] ---**
That was an explosion
caused by a single person?
**[17:51] ---**
What firepower!
**[17:53] ---**
That's why they call him
the mightiest Fire Soldier.
**[18:00] ---**
Those flames were a tiny bit arty.
**[18:05] ---**
I hate them. I feel jealous.
**[18:08] ---**
Yona, we're withdrawing.
We have to report this to the commander.
**[18:12] ---**
We confirmed that a second demon was born
in the same spot. This is a bonanza.
**[18:20] ---**
Haran, your life wasn't for naught.
**[18:31] ---**
Awesome...
**[18:47] ---**
I really overdid it. I'm burned out.
**[18:53] ---**
Lieutenant Konro, we've put out
all the fires in town.
**[18:57] ---**
There are no more Infernals, either.
**[19:00] ---**
Good work. We'll have to thank
the folks from the 8th, too.
**[19:06] ---**
Particularly Shinra.
**[19:12] ---**
"To be continued"
**[19:16] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[19:19] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[19:22] ---**
*but words that simply hang in the air*
**[19:25] ---**
*are not enough to save you*
**[19:41] ---**
*We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder*
**[19:45] ---**
*between sights we never reach*
**[19:48] ---**
*and pain that brings no warmth*
**[19:51] ---**
*to make it to a faraway place*
**[19:55] ---**
*Given the hope that you speak of*
**[19:58] ---**
*or the ideals that you dream of*
**[20:02] ---**
*I'll find a way to show you love,*
*however cold you may be*
**[20:07] ---**
*You can toil your way through humorless days*
**[20:11] ---**
*and curse the unwavering present,*
**[20:13] ---**
*but words that simply hang in the air*
**[20:17] ---**
*are not enough to save you*
**[20:20] ---**
*You can cry out timidly*
**[20:23] ---**
*but that changes when the nights grow fevered*
**[20:26] ---**
*Even if we let go of each other's hands,*
**[20:30] ---**
*I hope we can still walk together again*
**[20:33] ---**
*I'll refrain from saying goodbye*
**[20:36] ---**
*to ensure that we can meet again somewhere*
**[20:52] ---**
They sure did repair a lot of it overnight, huh?
**[20:59] ---**
If all the king of demolition
ever did was demolish,
**[21:02] ---**
the townspeople wouldn't
appreciate him nearly as much.
**[21:05] ---**
Captain!
**[21:07] ---**
About that Evangelist-involved
company from our records.
**[21:11] ---**
What did you find?
**[21:12] ---**
Their office was burned down.
**[21:14] ---**
It appears they took advantage of
all the chaos to destroy the evidence.
**[21:18] ---**
So they figured out the Special Fire Force's
purpose here, and took action.
**[21:22] ---**
This is a pretty sharp bunch.
**[21:24] ---**
Our fighting this time around
took its toll on the city, as well.
**[21:28] ---**
I just hope this doesn't make them
ramp up their activities.
**[21:40] ---**
You're going back to the 8th?
I appreciate all the help.
**[21:44] ---**
--Yeah, thanks!
--Yeah, thanks!
**[21:45] ---**
Oh, no. Our coming here might have been
the trigger that set everything off.
**[21:51] ---**
Even if it was,
**[21:53] ---**
it doesn't change the fact that the
Evangelist's goons were lurking here.
**[21:57] ---**
All the human combustion here up to now
might even have been their doing.
**[22:02] ---**
But we were able to put a stop to it.
**[22:07] ---**
Konro, bring it here.
**[22:09] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[22:10] ---**
"It"?
**[22:12] ---**
I may not like the imperial Fire Force,
but I do like the 8th.
**[22:17] ---**
Hey, musclebound dummy!
**[22:18] ---**
And his crew!
**[22:20] ---**
The next time you come here,
you better bring candy, or we'll be mad!
**[22:24] ---**
And make sure you bring stuff that doesn't suck!
**[22:27] ---**
--Bye-bye-kins!
--Bye-bye-kins!
**[22:32] ---**
Japanese saké?
**[22:36] ---**
We exchange saké cups as
a token of mutual goodwill.
**[22:41] ---**
It's a rite of friendship from the old country.
**[22:44] ---**
You don't like saké?
**[22:46] ---**
I love it!
**[22:57] ---**
This means the 7th and the 8th
are now friends, right?
**[23:03] ---**
Good to know you.
**[23:05] ---**
Huh? That's a hell of a smile.
**[23:06] ---**
What is the matter with his face?
**[23:09] ---**
Could he really be that happy
to make friends with all of us?
**[23:13] ---**
When Beni drinks saké, he becomes
the king of glee, and can't stop smiling.
**[23:18] ---**
How do you figure I'm gleeful?
**[23:21] ---**
Obi Akitaru, was it?
**[23:23] ---**
If anything comes up,
give me a call anytime.
**[23:25] ---**
Right. Now that we're drinking buddies,
let's help each other out.
**[23:32] ---**
That smile is a bit off-putting.
**[23:36] ---**
You know, I have to say...
**[23:46] ---**
What's so funny, you little brat?
**[23:49] ---**
**[23:49] ---**

**[00:08] ---**
A long time ago, mankind was
touched by the planet's anger,
**[00:12] ---**
and the world was engulfed in flames.
**[00:14] ---**
It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
**[00:17] ---**
The flames burned ferociously,
**[00:20] ---**
with an intensity threatening to
incinerate the places mankind lived,
**[00:23] ---**
the languages they spoke,
and the culture they had built up.
**[00:47] ---**

and returned to the flame.

However, a new demon was born there. Also...
**[01:01] ---**
"Knights of the Ashen Flame"
"Primary Vice-Commander"
"Arrow"
**[01:06] ---**
...we confirmed that the Adolla Burst
possessed by the 8th's new recruit...
**[01:09] ---**
...had an Adolla Link with the demon.
**[01:12] ---**
An Adolla Link? I want it at any cost.
It is what the Evangelist desires.
**[01:18] ---**
It would be a waste to
leave it in the Fire Force.
**[01:22] ---**
It may also be connected...
**[01:26] ---**
I will go along next time.

Supplementary crewmen? I don't care
who they are, that was unusually fast.
**[01:36] ---**
Haijima said the 8th doesn't
have a science team,
**[01:39] ---**
so they strong-armed this one through.
**[01:42] ---**
They're plotting something.
**[01:45] ---**
Strong-armed?
**[01:46] ---**
I thought that it was because
after the Evangelist incident,
**[01:50] ---**
each company was instructed by
the empire to beef up their forensics.
**[01:53] ---**
It's true, our science team is lacking,
and we have been searching,
**[01:58] ---**
but we have been making do with
help from the 5th's Captain Hibana.
**[02:01] ---**
Yes, but you can't rely on another
company's captain forever, can you?
**[02:07] ---**
Which is why I'm here from Haijima.

Fire Force Company 8's forensic team.

A Fire Soldier always salutes

**[04:03] ---**
Oh, sorry about that, Lieutenant Hinawa.
**[04:06] ---**
I'm a scientist, and all. My bad, my bad.
**[04:11] ---**
So...
**[04:12] ---**
...as a scientist...!
**[04:14] ---**
--Whoa, easy!
--Are these the Adolla Burst feet?!
**[04:16] ---**
Oh, let's see here...!
**[04:20] ---**
Do not touch Shinra so casually!
**[04:23] ---**
Mm-hmm.

Crunch!

Advanced placement into
Tokyo Imperial University.
**[04:36] ---**
On top of which, after graduating
at the top of your class,
**[04:39] ---**
you headed the applied pyrokinesiology
lab at Haijima Heavy Industries.
**[04:45] ---**
So I'm brilliant. Sorry.
**[04:48] ---**
--So why would someone as brilliant
as you join a dump like the 8th?
**[04:51] ---**
--Hey!
--So why would someone as brilliant
as you join a dump like the 8th?
**[04:52] ---**
--So why would someone as brilliant
as you join a dump like the 8th?
**[04:54] ---**
I used to be all cooped up
by myself in my lab at Haijima,
**[04:58] ---**
so I thought I'd get my hands on some raw data
**[05:00] ---**
through an outfit that was much
closer to the scene of the action.
**[05:03] ---**
If there are any problems, you can
kick me out, but please let me join you.
**[05:09] ---**
From what I can see,
far from having a science team,
**[05:11] ---**
you don't even have an engineer, do you?

**[05:22] ---**
We have a line on an engineer.
Lieutenant, have you contacted him yet?
**[05:27] ---**
No, still no word from Vulcan.
**[05:29] ---**
You guys are trying to get him on your crew?
**[05:33] ---**
Who is he?
**[05:35] ---**
From Haijima to the Special Fire Force,
**[05:38] ---**
everyone who's tried to recruit him
so far has been turned away.
**[05:42] ---**
He's Vulcan--
**[05:45] ---**
someone with crackerjack skill
that lives up to the name
**[05:47] ---**
of the God of Fire and the Forge.
**[05:53] ---**
Perhaps we should pay a visit to
his workshop directly sometime soon.
**[05:57] ---**
I wouldn't recommend it. He hates Haijima,
**[06:02] ---**
and apparently also hates the
Special Fire Force for dealing with them.
**[06:05] ---**
You'll just end up getting driven away.
**[06:07] ---**
Shinra,
**[06:08] ---**
would you head over to Vulcan's workshop
with Arthur and the sister?
**[06:13] ---**
I want you to go see if he's someone
appropriate for the 8th.
**[06:18] ---**
You want us to go and make
such an important decision?
**[06:22] ---**
You're around the same age as Vulcan.
**[06:25] ---**
Don't be too eager. Just go by
how you honestly feel about it.
**[06:29] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[06:32] ---**
Better go in your street clothes
so you don't look too uptight.
**[06:36] ---**
But there's no need to be
cagey about who we are.
**[06:39] ---**
Be sure not to mislead him about anything.
**[06:42] ---**
He being who he is, if you just
get to say hello, you'll be successful.
**[06:46] ---**
Roger wilco, sir!
**[06:49] ---**
--Whereas the other companies tried
to address him with money or status,
--"Roger wilco"? What does that mean?
**[06:52] ---**
--Whereas the other companies tried
to address him with money or status,
--It's something the people at the 7th were using.
**[06:53] ---**
--they're persuading him with these kids.

**[06:54] ---**
--they're persuading him with these kids.
--What a delightful expression.
**[06:55] ---**
--What a delightful expression.
**[06:57] ---**
Vulcan has a bona fide hatred of
the Fire Force. This is a fool's errand.
**[07:02] ---**
We at the 8th are trying to
transform this country.
**[07:05] ---**
Might as well go for it.
**[07:08] ---**
Always with the fascinating moves.
**[07:13] ---**
I guess we'll get to see...
**[07:16] ---**
...if the 8th will be useful to us
for achieving our objective.
**[07:26] ---**
I've seen the animal with the
long snout in a picture book before.
**[07:30] ---**
Let's see, what was it called again?
"Elephant," was it?
**[07:35] ---**
This place is incredible.
**[07:38] ---**
Excuse us, please!
**[07:43] ---**
Maybe he isn't in.
**[07:45] ---**
Maybe he's pretending not to be in.
**[07:47] ---**
Second Class Fire Soldier Arthur Boyle,
the Knight King!
**[07:53] ---**
You dare show hostility toward the Knight King?
**[07:56] ---**
He was reacting to you being a Fire Soldier!

Get lost!

Ah! Hey, you! Stop screwing around
and get out here!
**[08:15] ---**
Projectile weapons don't work against Knights!
**[08:18] ---**
Um, was there something you needed?
**[08:21] ---**
--Huh?!
--Huh?!
**[08:26] ---**
*Látom*.
**[08:29] ---**
Please excuse us. We're here from
Special Fire Force Company 8.
**[08:33] ---**
I'm First Class Fire Soldier Shinra Kusakabe.
**[08:38] ---**
I'm a hero.
**[08:39] ---**
If you Fire Soldiers have come here,
**[08:43] ---**
you must want to recruit the master.
**[08:47] ---**
Master? I've returned with
the parts you asked for.
**[08:52] ---**
Eep!
**[08:55] ---**
Yu, I told you not to call me "master."
**[08:58] ---**
Either call me "Vulcan" or "scumbag."
**[09:01] ---**
Okay, Vulcan, I have all the parts in my bag.
**[09:08] ---**
--Hold it, scumbag!
--Hold it, scumbag!
**[09:11] ---**
Hey, that's enough--
**[09:13] ---**
What? There's someone else inside?
**[09:17] ---**
I'm not helping Fire Soldiers. Leave!
**[09:23] ---**
He really is a dyed-in-the-wool
hater of Fire Soldiers, isn't he?
**[09:29] ---**
Aw, we're gonna get nowhere if
he's this defiant right off the bat.
**[09:34] ---**
Let's get out of here.
**[09:35] ---**
Just a moment, please!
**[09:39] ---**
I'll hear what you have to say,
if that's all right.
**[09:42] ---**
"Episode 15:
The Blacksmith's Dream"
**[09:49] ---**
The sound of his work is rhythmic.
**[09:52] ---**
Did Vulcan make everything around here?
**[09:55] ---**
Pretty much.
**[09:57] ---**
There's stuff from his father
and grandfather, too, though.
**[10:00] ---**
Yu, was it? Does Vulcan make you
run his errands for him?
**[10:04] ---**
Of course he doesn't *make* me.
**[10:07] ---**
I'm sort of Vulcan's self-styled apprentice.
**[10:12] ---**
I've always loved tinkering with machines,
**[10:14] ---**
and after falling in love with Vulcan's skill,
**[10:16] ---**
I ended up supporting him with his work.
**[10:19] ---**
Although lately, I am more like his gofer.
**[10:23] ---**
Hm? It wasn't like this before?
**[10:28] ---**
Vulcan's skill is the real deal.
**[10:30] ---**
His security, the precision of his work,
his speed, his creativity...
**[10:35] ---**
He has everything a craftsman needs.
**[10:39] ---**
His taste in skulls may be
a bit troubling, though.
**[10:44] ---**
So he gets a lot of recruiters
from Haijima and the Fire Force.
**[10:50] ---**
But Vulcan sends away every last one of them.
**[10:55] ---**
As a result, thanks to some doing by Haijima,
who was not amused by this,
**[10:59] ---**
the merchants that were once
providing materials to Vulcan
**[11:02] ---**
have now all stopped doing so.
**[11:07] ---**
That's where I come in,
**[11:08] ---**
running around to different junk dealers
to collect his materials.
**[11:12] ---**
No wonder he hates Haijima.
**[11:16] ---**
Still, it seems like there's some other reason
**[11:20] ---**
for Vulcan's hatred of Haijima
and the Fire Force.
**[11:23] ---**
The 8th isn't like the other companies.
I guarantee it.
**[11:29] ---**
So, can I ask you to at least get Vulcan
to hear what we have to say?
**[11:35] ---**
You're from the Fire Force, but you're
not like all the others before you.
**[11:41] ---**
All right. With that in mind...
**[11:54] ---**
You're sure about coming in
without asking first?
**[11:57] ---**
I may have Vulcan getting mad at me, but...
**[12:00] ---**
Eep!
**[12:03] ---**
Wait, this is a machine?
**[12:06] ---**
"Stinging"
**[12:07] ---**
Ow! Was that a knuckleball?!
**[12:09] ---**
Another machine?!
**[12:11] ---**
This is Lisa-*san*. She lives with Vulcan-*san*.
**[12:15] ---**
Hey, Yu!
**[12:17] ---**
Don't go letting the Special Fire Force in here!
**[12:19] ---**
Ow! You're hurting me!
**[12:29] ---**
He's putting that together with awesome speed.
**[12:31] ---**
Almost like he's beating on drums.
**[12:37] ---**
Huh?!
**[12:42] ---**
Yes! Done!
**[12:44] ---**
Why did you kick it after you just
finished making it? You'll break it.
**[12:48] ---**
A machine that would break that easily
is no different than a defective unit.
**[12:52] ---**
And hey, who said you could come in here?!
**[12:55] ---**
Now, now, easy...
**[12:56] ---**
Hey, Yu, what are you doing?!
We have guests! Bring some tea!
**[13:00] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[13:02] ---**
Oh... Thanks.
**[13:04] ---**
As if!
**[13:06] ---**
At least hear us out!
**[13:08] ---**
I've heard more than enough Fire Soldier tripe.
**[13:12] ---**
You've got nothing I want to hear!
**[13:15] ---**
Idiot.
**[13:19] ---**
Vul, it's him again.
**[13:25] ---**
All right.
**[13:29] ---**
You'll be all right by yourself?
**[13:31] ---**
No problem.
**[13:40] ---**
"Special Fire Force Company 3"
"Captain"
"Dr. Giovanni"
**[13:44] ---**
It's the captain of the 3rd.
**[13:47] ---**
The 3rd is the one that's
under Haijima's control.
**[13:50] ---**
Haijima is going to snatch up Vulcan.
**[13:52] ---**
But if Vulcan goes there,
his dream won't ever come true.
**[14:08] ---**
How has your work been going ever since?
**[14:14] ---**
You've liked animals since
you were a child, haven't you?
**[14:19] ---**
That was a damn dirty trick to play!
**[14:21] ---**
You're the one who stopped the supply line
to my workshop, aren't you?!
**[14:25] ---**
Do you see now that you can't
build things with just blueprints?
**[14:29] ---**
Stop being so stubborn and come join the 3rd.
**[14:34] ---**
We have all the material you need.
**[14:36] ---**
I wouldn't even change a mini light bulb
under your directions!
**[14:40] ---**
This is your final warning.
**[14:43] ---**
Don't blame me if you choose to ignore it.
**[14:47] ---**
Are you going to kill me if I do,
like you did my pop and granddad?
**[14:54] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[14:55] ---**
You backstabber!
**[14:59] ---**
What a pity.
**[15:01] ---**
Your genius will be lost
if you stay in a scrapyard like this.
**[15:07] ---**
Are you still carrying on
about the world's animals?
**[15:11] ---**
Shut up!
**[15:13] ---**
It's a worthless dream.
**[15:15] ---**
Don't you sneer at my dreams
when you left for money and power!
**[15:20] ---**
If you were to offer your skill
and talents to the empire,
**[15:24] ---**
just imagine how many people's
lives could be saved.
**[15:28] ---**
Your dream is so preposterous,
it isn't even funny.
**[15:37] ---**
You still here, you damn Fire Soldier?
**[15:40] ---**
So Haijima is exerting pressure?
**[15:43] ---**
It doesn't have anything to do with you.
**[15:45] ---**
Yes it does.
**[15:47] ---**
The 8th was formed to do internal
investigations of the other companies.
**[15:52] ---**
We're not like the companies who are
constrained by outside organizations.
**[15:55] ---**
We genuinely want to save people.
**[15:58] ---**
So, Vulcan, we want to help *you*.
**[16:05] ---**
Where did *that* come from?!
**[16:09] ---**
Sorry. I touched where I shouldn't have,
and it did something it shouldn't have.
**[16:12] ---**
Don't touch where you shouldn't.
We're having a serious talk, here.
**[16:16] ---**
"Anticipation"
**[16:16] ---**
What does this do?
**[16:18] ---**
No! Under no circumstances push that!
**[16:20] ---**
Why'd you do that?!
**[16:24] ---**
Hey, this isn't stopping.
**[16:27] ---**
Then hold it!
**[16:29] ---**
What's this here?
**[16:31] ---**
No, don't touch that, either!
**[16:32] ---**
Pushy-push!
**[16:34] ---**
The elephant!
**[16:38] ---**
What does this do?
**[16:40] ---**
Not this one!
**[16:41] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry.
**[16:47] ---**
How are you guys so messed up?
Are you really Fire Soldiers?
**[16:53] ---**
You can't go back without
accomplishing anything, can you?
**[16:59] ---**
I'm about to show you something
that will make your trip worth it,
**[17:03] ---**
so once I do, leave me in peace.
**[17:05] ---**
What is it?
**[17:07] ---**
I haven't seen it in a long time, either!
**[17:09] ---**
Hey,
**[17:10] ---**
can I take this with me, too?
**[17:12] ---**
Leave it here.
**[17:16] ---**
That should do it.
**[17:18] ---**
What is it? Did you make it?
**[17:21] ---**
I made it with my pop and
granddad when I was a kid.
**[17:25] ---**
Now, just watch.
**[17:32] ---**
I don't ever want to make
just ordinary machines.
**[17:53] ---**
Did you know that long ago,
**[17:56] ---**
there were over 1,750,000
species of animals in the world?
**[18:00] ---**
A-Awesome...
**[18:03] ---**
Are these... elephants?
**[18:14] ---**
Are those...?
**[18:16] ---**
Migratory birds. Once, they flew around
from continent to continent,
**[18:21] ---**
but now, there's nowhere left
for them to go home to.
**[18:28] ---**
Why is this?
**[18:30] ---**
I just can't... hold back my tears...
**[18:35] ---**
Amaterasu can only provide energy
for the empire's people.
**[18:40] ---**
So I want to create an energy source
**[18:43] ---**
that will allow the whole world
to come back to life,
**[18:46] ---**
and bring the animals that have
gone extinct back into this world.
**[18:50] ---**
That's my dream.
**[18:53] ---**
Someone who can use technology
for lives other than his own...
**[19:01] ---**
Captain Obi, Vulcan is a good fit for the 8th!
**[19:26] ---**
Every time I see it, it's fantastic!
Shinra-*san*, what did you all think?
**[19:31] ---**
I was impressed!
**[19:34] ---**
Holy cow.
**[19:36] ---**
Listen, Vulcan, I'm sure
you'll love the 8th, too!
**[19:40] ---**
Would you at least come and
meet our captain, just once?
**[19:44] ---**
No.
**[19:46] ---**
No matter what you tell me,
**[19:47] ---**
I'm not keen on associating with anyone
who's under Haijima's thumb.
**[19:51] ---**
I'll go my own way.
**[19:55] ---**
Same old Vulcan.
**[19:57] ---**
How long have you been with him?
**[19:59] ---**
I lost my parents in a fire
caused by an Infernal.
**[20:04] ---**
I lost everyone close to me,
and almost got stuck into a convent,
**[20:09] ---**
but I'm not about to become a sister.
**[20:11] ---**
Oh, sorry. You're a sister, aren't you?
**[20:15] ---**
Oh, that's okay.
**[20:17] ---**
I... ran away from there.
**[20:22] ---**
But...
**[20:24] ---**
I lost my place to stay out of the rain,
**[20:26] ---**
and when I spent the night in this scrapyard...
**[20:32] ---**
...Vulcan took me in.
**[20:35] ---**
He's a kind man, isn't he?
**[20:38] ---**
He's kind, all right. Unusually so.
**[20:42] ---**
No matter how much more Vulcan
has to look after others,
**[20:44] ---**
he just figures he can work that much harder.
**[20:49] ---**
Whose grave is this?
**[20:50] ---**
That's Vulcan's father and grandfather's grave.
**[20:53] ---**
I heard they both became Infernals
at the same time.
**[20:57] ---**
Is that something that happens a lot?
Vulcan seems skeptical of Giovanni.
**[21:04] ---**
Why does he suspect Giovanni?
**[21:06] ---**
Vulcan's grandfather had two apprentices.
**[21:10] ---**
One of them was Vulcan's father;
the other one was Giovanni.
**[21:15] ---**
Right after the two of them
died unnatural deaths,
**[21:18] ---**
Giovanni went to work for Haijima.
**[21:20] ---**
That's something that was strictly
forbidden by their master.
**[21:24] ---**
Forbidden?
**[21:26] ---**
Vulcan's whole family has apparently
had history with Haijima going way back.
**[21:34] ---**
I should be getting in to start
making Vul his supper.
**[21:38] ---**
I hate to say this, but you
should give up and leave.
**[21:42] ---**
I'm sorry I wasn't any more help.
**[21:44] ---**
Don't be like that--
**[21:47] ---**
The time has come. Kill Vulcan.
**[21:54] ---**
It's that same sensation as before.
**[21:58] ---**
That time, it was Lieutenant
Konro's cry for help.
**[22:02] ---**
This time, it's Dr. Giovanni's hostile intent.
**[22:06] ---**
It doesn't look like we can persuade him.
**[22:08] ---**
Maybe we should head back to the 8th for now.
**[22:12] ---**
We can't leave here now.
**[22:14] ---**
Hero's intuition.

**[00:08] ---**
As the world was being covered in ash,
one man appeared.
**[00:13] ---**
He would later be called Raffles I.
**[00:17] ---**
Raffles took his disciples and
left on a journey in search of light.
**[00:22] ---**
At the end of his journey,
he found an "unsullied flame,"
**[00:26] ---**
and brought forth the light that
would be mankind's salvation.
**[00:41] ---**
Here.
**[00:42] ---**
Granddad, Pop, I brought your favorite sodas.
**[00:46] ---**
The tops are opened, so you don't have to
worry about them spraying out.
**[00:49] ---**
The two of you are gone, so it's
three times as much work for me.
**[00:53] ---**
But since you brought me up to be tough,
I'm managing somehow.
**[00:58] ---**
Once I decide to do something,
it's surprising how well I can do it.
**[01:03] ---**
Also, I have some people helping me.
**[01:08] ---**
My new family.
**[01:21] ---**
Whew.
**[01:22] ---**
Vulcan!
**[01:24] ---**
Please check my prototype.
**[01:28] ---**
Oh, Yu, you put this together pretty well.
**[01:31] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[01:32] ---**
All that's left is...
**[01:33] ---**
Something's left?
**[01:36] ---**
Whoa! Huh?!
**[01:40] ---**
Aw, it's still not good enough.
**[01:42] ---**
If you smash it that
hard, of course it's not!
**[01:45] ---**
You dumbass. Some things in this world
can't break, no matter what.
**[01:51] ---**
Like what?
**[01:52] ---**
Ships and cars. People would be
in danger if they broke down, right?
**[01:57] ---**
Then there's Amaterasu.
**[02:00] ---**
Everlasting perpetual power generation.
It never stops, and never breaks down.
**[02:04] ---**
Awesome, right? If it did break down,
it would be an empire-wide disaster.
**[02:10] ---**
Val! Yu! Dinner's ready.
**[02:15] ---**
Lisa, you made something else
that's indestructible, huh?
**[02:18] ---**
It's food. Don't hold back, just dig in.
**[02:21] ---**
Thank you for this food.
**[02:23] ---**
"All things must pass." It's said that
anything with form falls apart someday.
**[02:31] ---**
I wonder if people's feelings
and bonds have a form.
**[02:37] ---**
Do families fall apart in time?
**[02:41] ---**
Pop and Granddad died,
and my family was broken up.
**[02:46] ---**
Then again, even dead, we're still a family.
Those bonds don't break.
**[02:55] ---**
I want to build those bonds,
the kinds that don't break!
**[03:00] ---**
"Episode 16:
We Are Family"
**[04:36] ---**
Dr. Giovanni is out to take Vulcan's life?
**[04:40] ---**
I don't know the reason why,
but that's what I felt.
**[04:44] ---**
The captain of the 3rd was here
trying to recruit Vulcan-*san*, right?
**[04:49] ---**
Why would he be out for his life?
**[04:52] ---**
It might have something to do
with his history with Haijima.
**[04:55] ---**
Even if you tell Vulcan about this,
do you think he'll believe you?
**[04:59] ---**
I mean, *I* don't even believe it.
**[05:01] ---**
Does this have something to do
with the "Adolla Burst"
**[05:04] ---**
that you mentioned right afterward?
**[05:08] ---**
Adolla Burst... Adolla Link...
**[05:13] ---**
It happened at Asakusa, too. It was
too distinct for it to be a mere hunch,
**[05:18] ---**
almost like I was hearing someone's voice.
**[05:20] ---**
Moreover, it was real.
**[05:24] ---**
I can't afford to let this
intuition pass by, either.
**[05:29] ---**
Sister, you and Arthur go back to the
workshop and tell Vulcan he's in danger.
**[05:34] ---**
Right.
**[05:35] ---**
What are you going to do?
**[05:37] ---**
I don't know if we're dealing with
just Dr. Giovanni, or Company 3.
**[05:42] ---**
Still, the other side won't
know that we're here, too.
**[05:46] ---**
If I can ascertain the enemy's
movements from a high vantage point,
**[05:48] ---**
we can make the first move.
**[05:52] ---**
Arthur, you and I are the only ones
who can fight. It's up to you.
**[05:56] ---**
Wait! Say that one more time!
**[06:02] ---**
Kill everyone in the workshop.
**[06:05] ---**
In this day and age,
there are Infernals, fires...
**[06:08] ---**
...any number of causes of death available.
**[06:11] ---**
--Yes, sir.
--Yes, sir.
**[06:13] ---**
Hold up.
**[06:15] ---**
Get rid of those false clothes.
**[06:17] ---**
--As you command.
--As you command.
**[06:20] ---**
--Faithfulness to the Evangelist.
--Faithfulness to the Evangelist.
**[06:25] ---**
You say Dr. Giovanni is going to kill me?
**[06:28] ---**
*I'm* the one who resents *him* enough to kill him!
Why should he come after me?
**[06:34] ---**
Well, um...
**[06:35] ---**
It's kind of like we heard it!
That's what it was like!
**[06:41] ---**
I thought you were a little
strange to be Fire Soldiers,
**[06:44] ---**
but are you also using ridiculous threats
to get me to come with you?
**[06:49] ---**
You really don't have any idea why?
**[06:51] ---**
You have some kind of history
with Haijima, right?
**[06:53] ---**
Like I said, *I'm* the one
who has the beef with *them*!
**[06:56] ---**
Ah! Vulcan!
**[07:08] ---**
The back way is surrounded, too.
**[07:10] ---**
All for me? This is way out of proportion.
**[07:13] ---**
He let that big a force get by unnoticed?
**[07:16] ---**
What is Shinra doing?!
**[07:20] ---**
It's so quiet.
**[07:30] ---**
I thought things seemed
unusual at the workshop.
**[07:34] ---**
The folks from the 8th are here, are they?
**[07:37] ---**
I wasn't counting on that.
**[07:46] ---**
Damn it, who's there?
**[07:48] ---**
Where are you?!
**[07:49] ---**
That's the 8th's rookie who
possesses an Adolla Burst.
**[07:55] ---**
I'll capture him and take
him to the Evangelist.
**[08:00] ---**
What?!
**[08:05] ---**
They're flying it by controlling
the booster in the wrist.
**[08:08] ---**
They're a second generation?
**[08:13] ---**
Just follow the wire...
**[08:19] ---**
They're gone.
**[08:24] ---**
Ow!
**[08:26] ---**
What kind of monster are you?
This is two million volts of current.
**[08:31] ---**
Okay then...
**[08:35] ---**
Your friends at the workshop are now
meeting the same fate that you are.
**[08:40] ---**
What...?
**[08:51] ---**
"Is the enemy behind that tree?
What if they aren't?"
**[08:55] ---**
"Is there only one of them? Or several?"
**[08:58] ---**
"Do I feint and see what happens?"
**[09:01] ---**
When you don't consider every
possibility, you make mistakes.
**[09:05] ---**
But you picked the wrong opponent.
Running away was the right call.
**[09:10] ---**
Sometimes it's necessary
to look twice before you leap.
**[09:17] ---**
This is Dr. Giovanni.
**[09:19] ---**
I just found an unexpected bonanza.
Requesting retrieval.
**[09:23] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
The man with the Adolla Burst.
**[09:29] ---**
This will bring us one step closer
to salvation of the world
**[09:34] ---**
by the grace of the Evangelist.
**[09:36] ---**
All that remains is to get
the key that Vulcan has.
**[09:42] ---**
You're Fire Soldiers, right? Do something.
**[09:46] ---**
I don't have the gear I
need to use my ability.
**[09:49] ---**
Also, I don't feel very knightly
right now, so I can't get going.
**[09:53] ---**
If I don't feel knightly,
I can't use my ability.
**[09:56] ---**
Huh?
**[09:59] ---**
Without something more swordly,
this is all the firepower I have.
**[10:02] ---**
Something more swordly
would raise my firepower.
**[10:08] ---**
I am the Knight King, Arthur Boyle!
**[10:11] ---**
The more I look the part of a knight,
the stronger my ability becomes!
**[10:15] ---**
That's why I am a knight!
**[10:18] ---**
I could tell at first glance,
but you really are dumb, huh?
**[10:24] ---**
In short, If I make you more knightly,
you'll get stronger, right?
**[10:32] ---**
Knightly... Knightly...
**[10:38] ---**
A horse?
**[10:42] ---**
Mirage, wait here and
keep the perimeter in place.
**[10:46] ---**
Got it.
**[10:48] ---**
I'll go take out the people inside.
**[11:01] ---**
Vulcan, is putting blue sheeting
over him going to be enough?
**[11:06] ---**
He went out there happy. It all depends on
how he feels. Who am I to say?
**[11:15] ---**
Here goes.
**[11:17] ---**
Silver!
**[11:21] ---**
Then again, that's not a horse,
it's a donkey, right?
**[11:24] ---**
It's asking an awful lot to
call him a knight looking like that.
**[11:33] ---**
It is my mission from the
king to protect the princess
**[11:37] ---**
and the other VIPs in that water mill.
**[11:40] ---**
I cannot allow you to pass.
**[11:43] ---**
You're not from the workshop, are you?
**[11:50] ---**
Arthur-*san*'s sword flame
is stronger than usual.
**[11:54] ---**
Huh? You're kidding, right?
**[12:01] ---**
High-ho, Silver!
**[12:03] ---**
By the providence of the Round Table!
**[12:07] ---**
Ex--
**[12:08] ---**
--caliver!
**[12:12] ---**
Wh-What was that?!
**[12:17] ---**
My shimmers...!
**[12:19] ---**
So your army was
a bunch of flimsy paper dolls?
**[12:24] ---**
No one told us there was a man like this
here other than those in the workshop.
**[12:29] ---**
Who the hell are you?!
**[12:31] ---**
I am the Knight King, Arthur!
Second Class Fire Soldier of Company 8!
**[12:36] ---**
I'll eliminate you if you interfere.
**[12:40] ---**
The will of his flame is strong.
Don't get sloppy.
**[12:58] ---**
That idiot is ridiculously strong, isn't he?
**[13:05] ---**
The Knight King is one with his steed!
You cannot stop us!
**[13:24] ---**
No matter how many of you there are,
I will not allow you to pass!
**[13:28] ---**
You look ridiculous, but what firepower.
**[13:33] ---**
Hmph, my appearance looks
unusual to you, villain?
**[13:39] ---**
Fakes!
**[13:45] ---**
--I'm telling you, this won't work.
--I'm telling you, this won't work.
**[13:52] ---**
--Who is this oddly-dressed person?
--Who is this oddly-dressed person?
**[13:55] ---**
It's you.
**[13:56] ---**
--Huh?
--Huh?
**[13:58] ---**
--Th-That's... me...?
--Th-That's... me...?
**[14:15] ---**
This isn't knightly.
**[14:25] ---**
On closer look, Silver, you're...
**[14:29] ---**
...not a horse, but a donkey, aren't you?
**[14:36] ---**
Ah! Vulcan, the magic has been dispelled!
**[14:45] ---**
S-Silver!
**[14:48] ---**
What's your deal? Are you messing with us?
**[14:53] ---**
Do you think I'd mess around when
my beloved horse has been killed?
**[14:58] ---**
His firepower has dropped off considerably.
**[15:03] ---**
You'll pay for this.
**[15:07] ---**
The folks surrounding the rear
have disappeared, too.
**[15:10] ---**
Lisa! Yu! Now's your chance!
You're getting out through the back way!
**[15:15] ---**
You there, from the 8th, pair up with her.
Take her someplace safe.
**[15:19] ---**
Vulcan-*san*, what about you?
**[15:21] ---**
I'm the one they're after, right?
You don't have any reason to stay with me.
**[15:26] ---**
No way! I'm not just going to
leave you here and run away, Vul!
**[15:29] ---**
Vulcan, you should escape with us!
**[15:31] ---**
We're family, aren't we?
**[15:36] ---**
He may be an idiot, but I can't run and
leave the guy fighting for me behind.
**[15:42] ---**
Why are they after you?
**[15:46] ---**
I can't go along with this unless I know why.
**[15:50] ---**
I don't know. Except that Haijima
has taken everything from our family.
**[15:57] ---**
Our family, and our technology.
**[16:00] ---**
Technology?
**[16:01] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
The culmination of the technology
**[16:05] ---**
that my forefathers spent so much of
their time and pride to create.
**[16:10] ---**
My forefathers are the ones
who built Amaterasu.
**[16:15] ---**
There's something I made for
an occasion like this out back.
**[16:18] ---**
You can get away using it.
**[16:20] ---**
Even separated, we're an
indestructible family.
**[16:24] ---**
Vulcan...
**[16:28] ---**
Sister, I hate to do this,
but look after these two.
**[16:32] ---**
Weak as I am, I'm still
a Fire Soldier. Leave it to me!
**[16:44] ---**
What are you doing...?
**[16:48] ---**
Lisa-*san*, what are you doing?
**[16:52] ---**
Yu, keep quiet.
**[16:54] ---**
Don't move!
**[16:56] ---**
Try anything funny and I'll kill him.
**[16:59] ---**
It wasn't a coincidence that
you took me in back then.
**[17:07] ---**
Wh-What?
**[17:08] ---**
It was all so I could sneak in
and find a certain something.
**[17:13] ---**
Hand over the key to Amaterasu.
**[17:15] ---**
The key to Amaterasu?
Lisa, what are you talking about?
**[17:23] ---**
I am a servant of the Evangelist.
**[17:26] ---**
You say you want to build
something that won't break?
**[17:29] ---**
It was broken to begin with--
**[17:32] ---**
playing house like we were.
**[17:38] ---**
O-Oh, no...
**[17:41] ---**
It's not true...
**[17:47] ---**
Lisa-*san*, please stop!
**[17:49] ---**
Giovanni is heading this way.
**[17:52] ---**
If you don't tell me
where the key is, he'll kill you.
**[17:55] ---**
What is this, Lisa?
Are you concerned about me?
**[18:00] ---**
Just how gullible are you?
**[18:07] ---**
Wrong again!
**[18:09] ---**
Damn it!
**[18:10] ---**
Don't let anyone in.
**[18:12] ---**
Very well.
**[18:13] ---**
You're not getting past me!
**[18:22] ---**
The shoe is on the other foot now.
**[18:25] ---**
*You're* the one who can't
get near the workshop.
**[18:32] ---**
Lisa, stand down. I'll take it from here.
**[18:37] ---**
Vulcan, you can die after you tell me
where the key is, or you can die now.
**[18:43] ---**
Choose.
**[18:44] ---**
Giovanni...
**[18:47] ---**
Lisa was here undercover to
search for the key to Amaterasu.
**[18:51] ---**
Gullible people don't suspect others,
so they get tricked.
**[18:55] ---**
You should learn to look
twice before you leap.
**[19:00] ---**
Was it fun to play house with Lisa?
**[19:05] ---**
Was that really the reason why
you came to my workshop?
**[19:10] ---**
Your foolishness must be
handed down generationally.
**[19:13] ---**
Everyone in your family line
was pathetically gullible.
**[19:17] ---**
Appeal to your emotions,
and you're quickly fooled.
**[19:20] ---**
Your old man was the same way.
**[19:22] ---**
Generation after generation
of deceived fools.
**[19:27] ---**
However, when it came to Amaterasu,
at least, they were cautious.
**[19:33] ---**
They *did* look twice before leaping
with the key to Amaterasu.
**[19:38] ---**
I'm not hiding anything,
and I don't have anything!
**[19:45] ---**
Was that child a part of your
little make-believe family?
**[19:51] ---**
Stop!
**[19:55] ---**
Where is the key to Amaterasu?
**[19:58] ---**
Damn you, Giovanni!
**[20:03] ---**
Well? Do you remember now?
**[20:09] ---**
Yu! Yu!
**[20:11] ---**
Yu-*san*!
**[20:15] ---**
It's a life-threatening wound,
but there may still be time if you act now.
**[20:23] ---**
Stop this, already! Save Yu, now!
**[20:27] ---**
You're the one who hurt him.
You didn't tell me what I want to know.
**[20:33] ---**
Where is the key?
**[20:35] ---**
What do you mean, key?
I have no way of knowing!
**[20:39] ---**
Please, don't take anything more from us.
**[20:44] ---**
I have made careful arrangements,
stopped your supply of materials,
**[20:48] ---**
been especially cordial in recruiting you,
**[20:51] ---**
and sent in Lisa undercover.
**[20:53] ---**
I have looked, and looked,
and looked, and looked, and looked,
**[20:56] ---**
and looked, and looked, and looked,
and looked, and looked,
**[20:58] ---**
and looked, and looked,
and looked, and looked before I leapt.
**[21:01] ---**
Do you really not know?! Damn you, Vulcan!
**[21:05] ---**
As dumb as you all are, you hid the key,
and that's why this is happening!
**[21:09] ---**
Your whole family is a rotten mass of
technology, talent, and gullibility!
**[21:15] ---**
Damn you, Giovanni... I'll kill you!
**[21:20] ---**
I have looked, and looked, and looked,
and looked, and looked,
**[21:23] ---**
and looked, and looked,
and looked, and looked for that key!
**[21:26] ---**
I should have leapt, and leapt,
and leapt, and leapt, and leapt,
**[21:30] ---**
and leapt, and leapt, and leapt,
and leapt, and leapt, and leapt,
**[21:33] ---**
and leapt on you to make you talk!
**[21:40] ---**
Does he really not know where it is?
**[21:48] ---**
He treasures these worthless
pieces of junk so much.
**[21:59] ---**
Stop... that...
**[22:11] ---**
It's breaking...
**[22:14] ---**
It's broken...
**[22:16] ---**
**[22:17] ---**

**[00:10] ---**
Raffles and his disciples used
the flame bestowed by the great Sol
**[00:15] ---**
and the technology cultivated by mankind
to create "Amaterasu."
**[00:21] ---**
The sacred flame of Amaterasu
benefits the lives of mankind,
**[00:26] ---**
and ended up establishing the foundation
of a state in the Far East.
**[00:52] ---**
Please stop that, already!
**[00:54] ---**
That has precious memories
for Vulcan-*san* of his father!
**[01:00] ---**
Don't break it!
**[01:16] ---**
I decided to listen in on the bug
I planted on Iris, and what do you know?
**[01:24] ---**
Ker-runch!
**[01:28] ---**
Captain Hibana!
**[01:29] ---**
Hold still. I'm going to untie you.
**[01:32] ---**
Please hurry! The workshop is in danger!
**[01:36] ---**
Maybe I'll just carry you back like this.
**[01:38] ---**
Huh?
**[01:49] ---**
I really should have taken him back with me.
**[01:55] ---**
Another one?
**[01:57] ---**
Arthur, status?!
**[01:59] ---**
Shinra, get to the workshop!
**[02:19] ---**
I found it. You hid it in this piece of junk.
**[02:24] ---**
Vulcan, now I just have to dispose of you.
**[02:38] ---**
I'm Put-the-Damn-Masked-Nose-Out-of-Joint
Man!
**[02:42] ---**
What the hell are you doing to our engineer?!
**[04:19] ---**
Shinra-*san*!
**[04:25] ---**
Lisa-*san*, why...?
**[04:30] ---**
Are you okay, Vulcan? Can you move?
**[04:32] ---**
I got hit by flames... I still can't
move on my own yet...
**[04:39] ---**
Shinra Kusakabe... How
did you get out of that?
**[04:45] ---**
No matter. I'll just dispose of
these pests and capture you again.
**[04:51] ---**
You let someone approach the workshop, huh?
**[04:57] ---**
Damn it, what a hassle.
**[05:00] ---**
My shimmers? Yes, unlike that fellow
who went to the workshop,
**[05:04] ---**
someone who tries to take on every attack
*would* be pestered by them.
**[05:08] ---**
Just keep letting my illusions distract you.
**[05:13] ---**
Warmer air becomes lighter,
while colder air becomes heavier.
**[05:18] ---**
Shimmers are false images created
by density variations in the air.
**[05:22] ---**
Which means that if I add enough heat
to blow those variations away,
**[05:26] ---**
the images will naturally disappear.
**[05:29] ---**
Impostors! Scatter like fruitless blossoms
before my flowers!
**[05:34] ---**
I'm on your side...
**[05:37] ---**
Gravel is the same all over.
**[05:40] ---**
Shinra excluded.
**[05:44] ---**
Rise, Fishing Fire!
**[05:47] ---**
Wrap his body up!
**[05:50] ---**
These flames...
**[05:53] ---**
My flames are magnetic.
**[05:56] ---**
They latch on to the faint magnetic fields
living things produce.
**[06:08] ---**
Shinra-*san*!
**[06:09] ---**
"Our forest friends will come shooting out!!"
**[06:12] ---**
Sister, hit the buttons on the wall!
**[06:17] ---**
*Látom*.
**[06:18] ---**
--*Látom*.
--*Látom*.
**[06:23] ---**
Good, Sister! Keep hitting them at random!
**[06:26] ---**
*Látom*!
**[06:28] ---**
*Látom*!
**[06:30] ---**
*Látom*.
**[06:31] ---**
*Látom*! *Látom*!
**[06:33] ---**
Everything you made is pointless.
**[06:38] ---**
*Látom*! *Látom*! *Látom*!
*Látom*! *Látom*! *Látom*!
**[06:40] ---**
*Látom*!
**[06:42] ---**
I'm starting to feel faint from the heat...
**[06:47] ---**
Writhe around on the ground, gravel!
**[07:02] ---**
Are those...
**[07:04] ---**
Did the sister start up again?
**[07:18] ---**
Machines, you see, have
a mild magnetic field.
**[07:23] ---**
I figure that if you get
enough of them together,
**[07:25] ---**
they could easily get mixed in with
the normal magnetic fields of people.
**[07:29] ---**
It actually worked.
**[07:41] ---**
I got careless. I can't keep up
with him with all this gear.
**[07:47] ---**
Contrary to the report,
nothing here has been taken care of.
**[07:54] ---**
Again?
**[08:04] ---**
Are *you* the one who just Linked with me?
**[08:10] ---**
"Episode 17:
Black and White and Gray"
**[08:33] ---**
You're Sho, right? Sho?
**[08:36] ---**
Y-You're my little brother, aren't you?
**[08:39] ---**
You and I could be brothers!
**[08:41] ---**
No, we definitely are! Sho! It's you, right?!
**[08:45] ---**
You and I, brothers?
**[08:50] ---**
Oh, you're crazy adorable, too!
**[08:52] ---**
Watch out for this ultra-handsome
young man, everyone!
**[08:54] ---**
What are you, an angel? Huh?
That's my brother!
**[08:57] ---**
Sho-*kun*, you're a full-on angel!
**[09:02] ---**
I can finally keep my promise to Mom now.
**[09:06] ---**
No matter what happens, Sho,
I'll keep you safe. I'm in your corner.
**[09:16] ---**
I see.
**[09:19] ---**
This is what the Evangelist meant by
"you'll know him when you meet him."
**[09:24] ---**
This man is my older brother.
**[09:30] ---**
This is so hard to describe.
**[09:33] ---**
My only feelings are of disgust.
**[09:41] ---**
When did he...?
**[09:45] ---**
Man with the Adolla Burst,
you're coming with us.
**[09:51] ---**
Shinra!
**[10:00] ---**
Amazing. You actually reacted.
**[10:02] ---**
Arthur!
**[10:12] ---**
What is that he's been doing?
**[10:15] ---**
I can't follow... Sho's swordsmanship.
**[10:28] ---**
Retrieve only the one with the Adolla Burst;
dispose of the others.
**[10:34] ---**
--As you command.
--As you command.
**[10:35] ---**
Where is the item?
**[10:43] ---**
I have obtained the key to Amaterasu.
**[10:55] ---**
Shinra, get in!
**[11:03] ---**
Looks like you're no worse for wear.
**[11:05] ---**
Inspector Licht!
**[11:21] ---**
Lisa, come on!
**[11:50] ---**
He's fast. How did he do that?
**[11:54] ---**
You're not getting away.
Leave the man with the Adolla Burst here.
**[11:58] ---**
What a pity.
**[12:00] ---**
You can't have him yet.
**[12:12] ---**
The hero arrives.
**[12:15] ---**
Sho! I swear I'll come
back for you! I swear it!
**[12:21] ---**
You must be Joker.
**[12:23] ---**
Oh, I guess I've gotten famous.
**[12:35] ---**
Whoo, that's enough to make even *me* uneasy.
**[12:39] ---**
Do not interfere with us.
**[12:42] ---**
It's no fun allowing either the Fire Force
or you guys to do as you please.
**[12:48] ---**
It looks like they got away.
**[12:51] ---**
There's no point in me staying here now.
**[13:00] ---**
Not so much as an Adolla Link...
**[13:07] ---**
What a monster.
**[13:29] ---**
Captain Obi...
**[13:30] ---**
Yes, sir, I checked the injured
from the workshop into the hospital.
**[13:39] ---**
The workshop is half-destroyed,
and we went up against the White-Clad.
**[13:43] ---**
Dr. Giovanni is a traitor.
**[13:48] ---**
I also met someone who may be my brother.
**[13:52] ---**
Vulcan...
**[13:54] ---**
...may still be targeted by the enemy.
**[13:58] ---**
We'll stay with him now.
**[14:00] ---**
We'll wait here for you to pick us up
and join you then, sir.
**[14:05] ---**
"Operating"
**[14:12] ---**
Vulcan, would you mind coming
to the 8th with us for now?
**[14:16] ---**
I think that's the safest thing
for you right now.
**[14:21] ---**
Yeah... Okay, sure.
**[14:24] ---**
Thanks.
**[14:31] ---**
I didn't want for you to come like this.
**[14:34] ---**
I wanted to welcome you in
as our official engineer.
**[14:39] ---**
Even with Arthur along, we weren't
able to keep you and Yu protected.
**[14:45] ---**
I really am sorry.
**[14:49] ---**
Your response was fast.
**[14:53] ---**
It's my fault for not listening to you.
**[14:56] ---**
You don't have anything to apologize for.
**[15:00] ---**
Yu may be tiny, but he's
tougher than he looks.
**[15:05] ---**
And Lisa really isn't...
**[15:10] ---**
There's nothing in the world
that can't be fixed.
**[15:13] ---**
So Yu's not gonna die,
and I'll bring Lisa back around.
**[15:16] ---**
I'll put the whole world back the way it was.
**[15:21] ---**
What about you? You must be pretty
broken up about your brother.
**[15:24] ---**
Don't worry about me.
**[15:27] ---**
I don't think of myself as
the only one who has it bad.
**[15:30] ---**
This is how the world is, for all of us.
**[15:37] ---**
Vulcan, you aren't alone.
**[15:40] ---**
I'll work with you as hard as I can
to make your dream come true.
**[15:45] ---**
Don't forget that.
**[15:48] ---**
Thanks, man.
**[15:54] ---**
Actually, how is it that you
showed up when you did?
**[15:59] ---**
Oh, you know. They were so late getting back.
I just came looking for them.
**[16:06] ---**
Or maybe *you're* the one who brought
the Evangelist's goons with you!
**[16:11] ---**
Ridiculous. That's not true.
**[16:14] ---**
In fact, it's because I came along
that everyone was saved, right?
**[16:21] ---**
Any funny moves, and I'll
stomp you flat beyond repair!
**[16:30] ---**
Arthur's wound was...
**[16:32] ---**
...unfortunately not as deep as I imagined.
**[16:35] ---**
Soon after, Yu was out of the woods.
**[16:39] ---**
Vulcan ended up taking refuge
at the 8th, under Captain Obi.
**[16:50] ---**
Sho really was serving under the Evangelist.
**[16:54] ---**
But I swear I'll bring him back.
**[16:56] ---**
I will keep my promise to Mom,
whatever it takes.
**[17:03] ---**
I'm so sorry about this!
**[17:07] ---**
Our rookies weren't too disrespectful of you,
I hope? Dum-dum and Dum-dum?
**[17:12] ---**
No, we weren't.
**[17:13] ---**
No, no.
**[17:14] ---**
If anything, *I* was the one
who was rude to *them*.
**[17:18] ---**
Supper is ready.
**[17:20] ---**
You had dinner duty tonight?
**[17:22] ---**
No, the lieutenant made it,
due to our unexpected guest.
**[17:26] ---**
For real? Yes!
**[17:28] ---**
Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
**[17:30] ---**
You can guess, Tamaki.
**[17:31] ---**
What was that?! G-Guess?!
**[17:38] ---**
Wow! Thank you for this food!
**[17:41] ---**
I'm starving!
**[17:45] ---**
Don't take my stuff!
**[17:47] ---**
Where were you when
the workshop was under attack?
**[17:51] ---**
Oh, that? Dr. Giovanni managed
to get the jump on me.
**[17:54] ---**
Don't let that happen!
**[17:55] ---**
Like *you* were so perfect fighting them!
**[17:58] ---**
--Of course I was! I wasn't going to
let Silver's sacrifice be in vain.
**[17:59] ---**
--Sorry about all the commotion.
--Of course I was! I wasn't going to
let Silver's sacrifice be in vain.
**[18:01] ---**
--Nah, I spent all my time in the workshop,
so I'm used to noise.
--Of course I was! I wasn't going to let Silver's sacrifice be in vain.
**[18:01] ---**
--Nah, I spent all my time in the workshop,
so I'm used to noise.
--What is "Silver"?!
**[18:03] ---**
--Nah, I spent all my time in the workshop,
so I'm used to noise.
--The point is, I'm taking that meat of yours!
**[18:06] ---**
--Keep it quiet! We have company!
--That doesn't even make sense!
**[18:07] ---**
--Keep it quiet! We have company!
--Just give it to me!
**[18:09] ---**
--Keep it quiet! We have company!
--Shut up--
**[18:11] ---**
Stop looking at me.
**[18:13] ---**
I'm not taking it anymore.
**[18:15] ---**
Yum!
**[18:17] ---**
It's a good day whenever
Lieutenant Hinawa has dinner duty.
**[18:21] ---**
I'm liable to overeat.
**[18:27] ---**
We should do better, too.
**[18:30] ---**
The lieutenant out-girlies us.
**[18:33] ---**
Did you get enough?
There's more where that came from.
**[18:43] ---**
Is it always like this here?
**[18:45] ---**
Well, yeah, right now,
with Tamaki's lucky lecher lure inactive,
**[18:51] ---**
it's a little better than usual.
**[18:54] ---**
Lecher lure...?
**[18:58] ---**
This... isn't really what I was expecting.
**[19:03] ---**
Vulcan-*kun*,
**[19:05] ---**
maybe you heard this from Shinra already,
**[19:07] ---**
but our objective at the 8th
is to save the world and its people.
**[19:13] ---**
I like to think I'm well aware
of your family's rules...
**[19:18] ---**
...but do you feel like joining the 8th?
**[19:23] ---**
You're free to decline, of course.
**[19:26] ---**
We'll still ensure your safety from here on.
**[19:30] ---**
So I want you to consider this
openly and honestly.
**[19:45] ---**
What did Vulcan come back
to his workshop for?
**[19:49] ---**
He probably left something behind there.
**[19:52] ---**
He said something about making a clean break.
**[19:54] ---**
If he does become our engineer,
that would be fantastic.
**[19:59] ---**
Yeah it would.
**[20:09] ---**
Pop, Granddad, here's your usual soda.
**[20:14] ---**
I don't know if you're watching me,
but the Fire Force is taking me in.
**[20:20] ---**
I know you're not wild about it. I mean,
the outfit is affiliated with Haijima.
**[20:27] ---**
Am I out of the family?
**[20:30] ---**
I mean, our family promise was to
never give any help to the Fire Force.
**[20:36] ---**
Maybe it's our family curse
for birthing Amaterasu.
**[20:40] ---**
Everything and anything that's
precious to me gets broken.
**[20:49] ---**
I have to build something that
doesn't break, no matter what.
**[20:54] ---**
That's what restoring the world and
bringing the animals back was about.
**[20:58] ---**
I thought I could do it all by myself.
**[21:02] ---**
Now there's Yu, and Lisa, and this guy
who told me I'm not alone.
**[21:10] ---**
I'm sorry, Pop, Granddad.
**[21:14] ---**
I'm breaking my promise.
**[21:18] ---**
"To be continued"
**[22:56] ---**
Cleaning time!
**[22:57] ---**
Let's get cleaning!
**[22:59] ---**
From here to here is your part, okay?
Don't come anywhere near me!
**[23:03] ---**
No, Kusakabe, you stay away from *me*!
**[23:09] ---**
What's this?
**[23:10] ---**
I arranged it to make it more user-friendly.
**[23:13] ---**
The old, drab church looks
a little better now, right?
**[23:17] ---**
I got permission from the captain.
**[23:19] ---**
Oh, that's kind of nice, isn't it?
**[23:23] ---**
Nice, sir? You mean, that skull?
**[23:26] ---**
Even among the Special Fire Force,
we're in the position of outsiders,
**[23:30] ---**
so this is pretty rocking and cool!
**[23:32] ---**
*Látom*.
**[23:33] ---**
I'm going to keep expecting
more from you, Devil.
**[23:36] ---**
I'm not a devil, sir, I'm a hero!
**[23:40] ---**
I think they're both pretty cool.
**[23:49] ---**
*Látom*.
**[23:50] ---**
**[23:51] ---**
"Next time"
**[23:52] ---**

**[00:08] ---**
A long time ago, mankind was
touched by the planet's anger,
**[00:12] ---**
and the world was engulfed in flames.
**[00:15] ---**
It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
**[00:18] ---**
The flames burned ferociously,
**[00:21] ---**
with an intensity threatening to
incinerate the places mankind lived,
**[00:24] ---**
the languages they spoke,
and the culture they had built up.
**[00:38] ---**
This is a run-down kind of run-down.
**[00:40] ---**
Lieutenant Karim, long time no see.
**[00:43] ---**
What brings you here?
**[00:44] ---**
Tamaki, I'm pleased to see you in good health.
**[00:48] ---**
We're here to compare notes,
both now and moving forward.
**[00:50] ---**
We figured we should start working together.
**[00:53] ---**
Am I really going to have to
fight the White-Clad... and Sho?
**[00:59] ---**
Hey, stop spacing off over there.
**[01:02] ---**
--Wah! Put me down, you idiot!
--Um... How did...?!
**[01:05] ---**
No touching me there!
**[01:08] ---**
Maybe you aren't my beloved steed Silver,
the partner I've been looking for,
**[01:13] ---**
but even now, you're still my partner.
Isn't that right, Sil-burro?
**[01:19] ---**
Please stop hanging weird stuff on the walls.
**[01:22] ---**
This is my Pegasus,
who via Vulcan descended to earth
**[01:25] ---**
and made possible my miraculous recovery.
**[01:28] ---**
It's a donkey.
**[01:29] ---**
Are you okay with this, Lieutenant?
**[01:32] ---**
"Moosifer"
**[01:32] ---**
Arthur, get back to work.
**[01:34] ---**
That hat came from Vulcan, didn't it, sir?
**[01:37] ---**
I saw it here this morning.
**[01:39] ---**
Don't those horns get in the way?
**[01:42] ---**
They don't impede my work.
**[01:44] ---**
Lieutenant, you're much
too cavalier about fashion.
**[01:48] ---**
Would you like me to
buy you something sometime?
**[01:50] ---**
I wouldn't trust you to buy anything
that didn't come out of a fairy tale.
**[01:53] ---**
Huh? It would be better than those horns, sir.
**[01:56] ---**
Come on, enough idle chatter.
**[02:00] ---**
That looks like impedance.
**[02:09] ---**
"Moosifer"
**[03:44] ---**
Nee-*chan*, sorry to trouble you.
**[03:47] ---**
Roger wilco, sir.
**[03:48] ---**
Hmm?
**[03:51] ---**
Hey, Obi!
**[03:53] ---**
I know you're not using Iris
as your tea girl, right?
**[03:57] ---**
Nee-*san*, I offered to do this.
**[04:00] ---**
But never mind that...
**[04:02] ---**
What are you sitting up there for?
**[04:04] ---**
I don't appreciate being made to
sit on the same level as 1st gravel.
**[04:08] ---**
Would you prefer I sit on the floor, instead?
**[04:11] ---**
Ah, yes, please do so.
**[04:14] ---**
What's the matter? Get sitting, already.
**[04:21] ---**
Crap. I only meant it as a little joke.
**[04:28] ---**
All right, let's jump in and
get this meeting started.
**[04:32] ---**
Let's share the information that
each of us has obtained so far,
**[04:36] ---**
and figure out any leads and plans
we have for the Evangelist going forward.
**[04:39] ---**
We just barely started believing the
White-Clad even existed not long ago.
**[04:45] ---**
I'm here on behalf of Beni,
but we don't have much information yet.
**[04:49] ---**
There are cases of human combustion
being carried out by the White-Clad
**[04:52] ---**
along with all the other cases
that are taking place now.
**[04:56] ---**
The reason Rekka Hoshimiya was
using bugs to create man-made Infernals
**[05:01] ---**
was to find those that he said
were "compatible" to the flames.
**[05:04] ---**
Perhaps they aren't just making Infernals,
**[05:07] ---**
but instead are trying to
find some special ability.
**[05:11] ---**
Dr. Giovanni was apparently
after the "key" to Amaterasu.
**[05:16] ---**
Do they have some kind of
designs on Amaterasu?
**[05:20] ---**
"Company 3 captain imposter
arrested on assault charge"
**[05:20] ---**
The attack on Vulcan is being
reported as being committed
**[05:24] ---**
by an imposter wearing
a mask like Dr. Giovanni's.
**[05:27] ---**
But this one's the imposter.
**[05:30] ---**
Haijima was probably afraid of their
own Company 3 being scandalized,
**[05:34] ---**
and arranged for a fall guy.
**[05:36] ---**
Vulcan, who has actually seen Giovanni's face,
**[05:39] ---**
said for a fact the man at the
press conference wasn't him.
**[05:42] ---**
The 3rd has apparently had
a number of people leaving it.
**[05:46] ---**
Probably spies that were embedded there.
**[05:49] ---**
They're likely back with the Evangelist by now.
**[05:53] ---**
I'm not sure if all of Haijima is against us,
**[05:55] ---**
but the 3rd, under Haijima's control,
is working beyond the empire's oversight.
**[06:00] ---**
The White-Clad's actions are
only going to get even more radical.
**[06:04] ---**
If we don't know the full scope of the enemy,
**[06:06] ---**
we should find their base and hit them.
**[06:09] ---**
My man Licht has already started
looking into their base.
**[06:17] ---**
You, a member of the Special Fire Force, huh?
**[06:20] ---**
There's nothing so unusual about that, right?
We're champions of justice.
**[06:31] ---**
You can tell where the base is from just that?
**[06:34] ---**
From just this? No.
**[06:38] ---**
Can you trust Licht?
**[06:41] ---**
So far, he's done well by us.
**[06:45] ---**
The 8th's objective is to pinpoint
where the Evangelist is, and move in.
**[06:50] ---**
Do you have a plan for moving in,
you musclebound 8th gorilla?
**[06:55] ---**
Can the 8th's rookies fight?
**[07:02] ---**
Even if you do find out where they are,
you can't beat them.
**[07:06] ---**
Are they really that bad?
**[07:08] ---**
You have no idea.
**[07:12] ---**
The ability their commander, Sho, has
**[07:14] ---**
probably comes from a Link with the Evangelist.
**[07:18] ---**
An Adolla Link...
**[07:21] ---**
What do you think the 8th needs?
**[07:24] ---**
The 8th's rookies are outstanding.
**[07:27] ---**
I can vouch for the strength
and quality of their abilities.
**[07:30] ---**
However, they do lack experience.
**[07:32] ---**
Especially when it comes to
hand-to-hand combat.
**[07:34] ---**
When they sparred at the 1st earlier,
**[07:36] ---**
they struck me as being
hasty and inexperienced.
**[07:39] ---**
Their abilities may be competent and effective,
**[07:41] ---**
but they're lacking in actual combat.
**[07:44] ---**
Combat, huh? We have someone
who does nothing but combat.
**[07:49] ---**
Want us to look after them?
**[07:52] ---**
Can you use that genius brain of yours
**[07:55] ---**
to come up with a plan to
improve the Devil's flames?
**[07:59] ---**
I'll give it some thought.
**[08:03] ---**
But you catching up to Commander Sho
will depend on him.
**[08:10] ---**
Yeah, what's up, Konro?
**[08:14] ---**
Huh? Why do I have to look after them?!
**[08:20] ---**
What? I owe them? Yeah, I do owe them.
**[08:25] ---**
"Episode 18:
The Secrets of Pyrokinesis"
**[08:32] ---**
Excuse me! It's Shinra, from the 8th!
**[08:41] ---**
C-Captain Shinmon...?
**[08:43] ---**
If this was combat, you'd be dead.
**[08:45] ---**
Okay, step right up!
**[08:48] ---**
You're here to have me train you, right?
Don't let your guard down.
**[08:53] ---**
Dimwit.
**[08:55] ---**
I told you, don't let your guard down.
**[08:58] ---**
Dimwit.
**[09:01] ---**
Ha!
**[09:05] ---**
Iron-madillo, the Magnetic Extinguishing Ball.
**[09:08] ---**
How is it used?
**[09:09] ---**
Oh, just watch.
**[09:16] ---**
It hits the flames with powerful magnetism,
extinguishing them in an instant.
**[09:21] ---**
That's amazing. That will be handy
for someone like me, who's unpowered.
**[09:26] ---**
Shinra and Arthur are off getting
special training in Asakusa, right?
**[09:30] ---**
I don't want to be outdone,
so I'm inventing some clever stuff.
**[09:46] ---**
You aren't relaxing, are you?
There are no rules in combat.
**[09:50] ---**
You never know when something might happen.
**[09:55] ---**
Is it exhausting?
**[09:56] ---**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[09:58] ---**
That's because your life isn't at stake.
**[10:00] ---**
It's the tension itself you're
feeling that gets you worked up.
**[10:04] ---**
On the battlefield, feel life, instead.
**[10:07] ---**
Your own life, your friends' lives,
the other side's lives.
**[10:11] ---**
When you're aware of all those lives,
the tension won't get you so worked up.
**[10:17] ---**
You're saying to treasure life, then.
**[10:20] ---**
When you're feeling life, it becomes
harder to leave yourself vulnerable.
**[10:24] ---**
Now, on with the training.
Come at me like I'm out for your lives.
**[10:34] ---**
Oh, they're going at it.
**[10:35] ---**
--They're going at it!
--They're going at it!
**[10:43] ---**
That's enough.
**[10:44] ---**
Already?
**[10:45] ---**
Your aptitude is okay,
but you're not about to hit me.
**[10:49] ---**
Your attacks have no element of surprise.
You're lacking something.
**[10:54] ---**
Lacking something?
**[10:56] ---**
Do you know what that is?
**[10:59] ---**
A finishing move.
**[11:01] ---**
A finishing move--
**[11:04] ---**
I told you not to let you guard down!
**[11:07] ---**
Devise a finishing move that
capitalizes on your speed advantage.
**[11:11] ---**
Leave it to you, Captain Shinmon.
You're the best at noticing these things.
**[11:16] ---**
Huh?
**[11:17] ---**
Oh, hello there.
**[11:19] ---**
I'm Company 8's gate-crashing
forensic science team, Viktor Licht.
**[11:24] ---**
I've thought up a way to power-up Shinra.
**[11:30] ---**
Captain Shinmon, can I ask you
for your assistance?
**[11:34] ---**
What do you mean?
**[11:36] ---**
Put simply, jet propulsion.
**[11:38] ---**
Converging flames into one direction
will increase propulsive force.
**[11:44] ---**
By compressing the emitted flame,
burst firepower can be increased.
**[11:49] ---**
In other words, focus one's
flame tighter, right?
**[11:53] ---**
Yes indeed.
**[11:56] ---**
Is this much firepower enough?
**[11:58] ---**
Yes indeed!
**[12:10] ---**
Awesome!
**[12:12] ---**
Right now, Shinra-*kun*, your flames
wastefully spread out in many directions.
**[12:16] ---**
By simply consolidating them,
your thrust will increase that much.
**[12:21] ---**
If you can condense your flames in
one direction, like Captain Shinmon did,
**[12:25] ---**
you should be able to produce
more speed than you currently do.
**[12:28] ---**
If I can do that, I'll have my finishing move.
**[12:42] ---**
Shinra, keep practicing nothing
but your finishing move.
**[12:46] ---**
Sir!
**[12:47] ---**
Arthur, your ability *is* your finishing move.
**[12:49] ---**
Spar with me and let's train your fundamentals.
**[12:52] ---**
Come at me like you mean to kill me.
**[12:54] ---**
Hmph.
**[12:55] ---**
Well now, let's see how this goes.
**[12:58] ---**
Buddy, you don't seem like
the others from the 8th.
**[13:01] ---**
So it's true that you came from Haijima, then.
**[13:05] ---**
My noggin is too sharp
to be at the 8th, is that it?
**[13:09] ---**
If you try anything funny with the 8th,
I'll toss you into the ocean.
**[13:13] ---**
Of course I'm not going to. Good grief.
**[13:34] ---**
I use my toes to fine-tune my attitude control,
**[13:38] ---**
so if I don't move them just right,
I lose my balance.
**[13:41] ---**
On the other hand, there's no point
in me pulling faces.
**[13:49] ---**
Thinking about something
I haven't done is a waste of time.
**[13:53] ---**
I just need to keep trying.
**[13:55] ---**
He's clever. Just about all problems
can be settled by saying,
**[13:59] ---**
"Whatever, just do it," or "Time to give up."
**[14:02] ---**
That's pretty simplistic for
a clever scientist like yourself.
**[14:06] ---**
You first have to stand at the starting line
**[14:08] ---**
before you even realize what the real problem
you should be thinking about is.
**[14:12] ---**
Not knowing what the problem is before
trying it is what makes a problem hard.
**[14:18] ---**
In that regard, you're a lot
like us tough punks.
**[14:25] ---**
How does Captain Shinmon
control his flames so skillfully?
**[14:31] ---**
There must be some hint in there somewhere.
**[14:54] ---**
How many times must I tell you that
Fire Soldiers do not play with fire,
**[14:58] ---**
First Class Fire Soldier Maki Oze?
**[15:01] ---**
It's not like that, sir!
**[15:03] ---**
Sputter and Flare have an
important mission this time!
**[15:07] ---**
Has being caught up in fairy tales
finally driven you crazy?
**[15:10] ---**
It's okay, Lieutenant.
**[15:12] ---**
I've created some new equipment
for Maki-*san* that uses Sputter and Flare.
**[15:16] ---**
Hmm?
**[15:18] ---**
The Twin Hover Units, "Tekkyo."
**[15:20] ---**
"Twin Hover Units Tekkyo"
**[15:24] ---**
They're powered by Sputter and Flare.
**[15:27] ---**
They're weapons controlled by
Maki-*san*'s second-generation abilities.
**[15:30] ---**
What do they do?
**[15:32] ---**
They're flying hammers, I guess you'd call them.
**[15:35] ---**
They can launch physical attacks
against enemies with powers,
**[15:37] ---**
who are resistant to flames.
**[15:44] ---**
What do you think?
**[15:46] ---**
The flight test went perfectly.
**[15:48] ---**
Then the Sput-Flare-Witch is finished.
**[15:51] ---**
It's not "Sput-Flare-Witch," it's "Tekkyo."
**[15:56] ---**
A long time ago, mankind was
touched by the planet's anger,
**[16:00] ---**
and the world was engulfed in flames.
**[16:03] ---**
It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
**[16:06] ---**
The flames burned ferociously,
**[16:08] ---**
with an intensity threatening to
incinerate the places mankind lived,
**[16:11] ---**
"Pass or else"
**[16:11] ---**
the languages they spoke,
and the culture they had built up.
**[16:15] ---**
Pinch... Pinch... Take the big blast
of flames and squeeze...
**[16:22] ---**
Squeeze... Squeeze...!
**[16:27] ---**
You haven't changed a thing!
**[16:29] ---**
Nothing but your silly face, you idiot!
**[16:32] ---**
Huh? Was I really making a face?
**[16:34] ---**
A disgraceful one.
**[16:36] ---**
A gross, ugly sourpuss.
**[16:39] ---**
This way doesn't work, either.
**[16:41] ---**
Captain Obi does this one a lot.
**[16:44] ---**
Rock & Roll!
**[16:49] ---**
What was that? Did his feet
just rip a huge fart?
**[16:58] ---**
Don't divert your attention!
**[17:00] ---**
When you exploit an opening, be quiet about it.
**[17:05] ---**
Still, that wasn't bad.
**[17:08] ---**
Arthur...
**[17:10] ---**
Shinra, try that one more time.
**[17:14] ---**
When you put your force behind your flames, sir,
**[17:17] ---**
you always do this with your hands,
**[17:19] ---**
so I've been trying to do
the same with different forms.
**[17:22] ---**
That was one that Captain Obi often does...
**[17:27] ---**
Wah!
**[17:33] ---**
Huh?
**[17:34] ---**
It's hard to see what you're doing.
Take off your gloves.
**[17:37] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[17:39] ---**
In old proto-national martial arts,
there are what are called *tenokata*.
**[17:43] ---**
The thing I do with my index and
middle fingers is one of them.
**[17:48] ---**
I use this form to control my flames.
**[17:50] ---**
"Tiger Claw" "Pickaxe Fist" "Mantis Hand"
**[17:51] ---**
There are a number of different *tenokata*,
each with different effects.
**[17:53] ---**
"Bear Paw" "Crescent Moon Hand"
**[17:56] ---**
"Tiger Crush"
**[17:56] ---**
One of them is called Tora Hishigi,
a form which increases foot power.
**[18:02] ---**
Place your index finger
over the base of your thumb,
**[18:05] ---**
and place your thumb under
the base of your pinky finger.
**[18:09] ---**
Making the form with your fingers
**[18:11] ---**
concentrates the flow of *ki*
in your body to one spot.
**[18:15] ---**
This also affects your flames.
**[18:18] ---**
Control my *ki* with my fingers...?
**[18:21] ---**
You can figure the rest out from there.
**[18:23] ---**
Thank you very much, sir!
**[18:26] ---**
How long are you going to
lie there? Let's keep going.
**[18:30] ---**
Huh? Oh.
**[18:34] ---**
Turn my index finger and thumb inward...
**[18:37] ---**
...and direct the flow of my *ki* into my feet.
**[18:49] ---**
Whoa!
**[18:51] ---**
That sensation--it was like
my flames were being compressed,
**[18:54] ---**
and my body was about to be blasted upward!
**[18:56] ---**
Tora Hishigi is awesome!
**[19:02] ---**
The flow of my body's *ki*...
I'm starting to get a handle on my flames!
**[19:07] ---**
This time, I'm going to shoot right up!
**[19:14] ---**
I feel the heat in my feet...
**[19:18] ---**
My *tenokata*...
**[19:19] ---**
...links to my feet...
**[19:23] ---**
I can get there faster...
I can get to Sho faster...
**[19:29] ---**
Faster!
**[19:38] ---**
That's fast.
**[19:40] ---**
I guess this is why Joker
sees so much promise in him.
**[19:45] ---**
Not bad at all.
**[19:47] ---**
--Damn it...
--I'll give you credit for attacking quietly.
**[19:50] ---**
Shinra! Use that to come after me now!
**[19:59] ---**
Waka was dreading this at first,
but I'm glad he's having fun now.
**[20:03] ---**
You mean *that*? He looks
awfully unhappy to me.
**[20:08] ---**
Someone who's worth training has stopped by.
**[20:12] ---**
I'm sure Waka must be ecstatic.
**[20:17] ---**
A knight... does not lose...
**[20:20] ---**
It looks like he's getting worn out.
Why don't we call it a day?
**[20:27] ---**
You took a pretty good beating. Are you okay?
**[20:29] ---**
Yeah. I'm a knight after all.
**[20:31] ---**
Shinra, have you come up with
a name for your finishing move yet?
**[20:34] ---**
Oh, right! My finishing move!
**[20:36] ---**
--Don't drop your guard--
--Whoa!
**[20:41] ---**
So, what do you call your move?
**[20:43] ---**
Kicker-Man Kick!
**[20:44] ---**
Overruled.
**[21:05] ---**
Well, how are they doing?
**[21:10] ---**
They're still just a couple of kids.
**[21:16] ---**
Too shaky for their own good.
**[21:30] ---**
Your proto-national sword training
is starting to take shape.
**[21:33] ---**
This single-edged blade moves differently
than your omnidirectional one,
**[21:37] ---**
but you'll have more avenues of attack.
**[21:39] ---**
There's no harm in learning it.
**[21:50] ---**
Good, that was well done. If I hadn't
known about it, you would have hit me.
**[21:54] ---**
Use it well.
**[21:56] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[21:58] ---**
I heard about your brother.
He's the only family you have.
**[22:02] ---**
Make sure to keep him safe.
**[22:04] ---**
Thank you very much, sir!
**[22:08] ---**
Just sit tight.

**[00:08] ---**
As the world was being covered in ash,
one man appeared.
**[00:13] ---**
He would be later be called Raffles I.
**[00:17] ---**
Raffles took his disciples and
left on a journey in search of light.
**[00:22] ---**
At the end of his journey,
he found an "unsullied flame,"
**[00:26] ---**
and brought forth the light that
would be mankind's salvation.
**[01:03] ---**
Any time now, there will be a company
**[01:06] ---**
that finds out about us being in the Nether.
**[01:08] ---**
You're right. That actually works in our favor.
**[01:12] ---**
Notify Yona at the gate to be on guard, as well.
**[01:15] ---**
We will make ready and scout around.
**[01:18] ---**
No need to scout. The man who is coming...
**[01:22] ---**
...is the one with the Adolla Link.
**[01:26] ---**
Wh-Whoa!
**[01:28] ---**
Shinra, clean up in here
before you read your book.
**[01:32] ---**
Hmm... later.
**[01:35] ---**
Are you sure? If you're a bad boy,
you'll be taken to the Nether.
**[01:48] ---**
I'm not afraid of the Nether.
**[02:19] ---**
If you ever get taken to the Nether, Sho,
**[02:22] ---**
your big brother will definitely
come to rescue you, okay?
**[02:26] ---**
Th--
**[02:27] ---**
The Nether... you say?
**[02:30] ---**
After Licht finished examining
what's left of Vulcan's workshop,
**[02:35] ---**
he discovered that the Evangelist's men
are hiding in the Nether.
**[02:39] ---**
The Holy Sol Temple teaches that the Nether
**[02:42] ---**
is an unclean place where the
great Sol's light doesn't reach.
**[02:46] ---**
Like the sister said, the Nether,
or the area beneath the Tokyo Empire,
**[02:51] ---**
is considered a forbidden land.
**[02:53] ---**
Those who are using it as their base
**[02:55] ---**
could be heretics who oppose
the Holy Sol teachings.
**[02:59] ---**
As for the Nether, Tokyo once had
subway trains that ran beneath it.
**[03:06] ---**
Most of them crumbled and were buried
during the Day of the Cataclysm,
**[03:10] ---**
but I have determined that
there are some places underground
**[03:13] ---**
where the caverns still remain.
**[03:15] ---**
From the items that Dr. Giovanni left behind,
**[03:17] ---**
and the regions where man-made
Infernals have appeared,
**[03:20] ---**
I've narrowed the area down.
**[03:22] ---**
"Yotsuya"
**[03:23] ---**
Tomorrow, we're heading to the base
**[03:26] ---**
of the people who are
creating man-made Infernals.
**[03:29] ---**
That's where the mysteries behind
human combustion are sure to be.
**[03:33] ---**
We're not laying anyone to rest.
This is a fight with our lives at stake.
**[03:41] ---**
We're bringing your brother back.
**[03:43] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:45] ---**
Company, let's get ready
for tomorrow. Dismissed!
**[03:51] ---**
Tamaki, do you have a moment?
**[03:53] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[04:02] ---**
High-ho...
**[04:04] ---**
Silver...
**[04:06] ---**
High-ho...
**[04:12] ---**
It's hot... Where am I...?
**[04:24] ---**
Sister...?
**[04:33] ---**
An earthquake.
**[04:34] ---**
It doesn't feel like a big one.
**[04:37] ---**
There sure have been quite a few lately.
***SIGN*** "Special Fire Force Company 8"
"Engineer"
"Vulcan"
**[06:30] ---**
This is our first call-out.
**[06:32] ---**
Gives you the jitters, huh?
**[06:34] ---**
You look out of place in that, Licht.
**[06:38] ---**
I've got my lab coat on for an inner layer.
**[06:44] ---**
Is there some reason for that?
**[06:48] ---**
We're finally starting to look like a company.
**[06:51] ---**
You're right.
**[07:06] ---**
The Nether is a place
**[07:07] ---**
you need to obtain special permission
from the church to go into.
**[07:12] ---**
Ordinarily, going in there would be impossible.
**[07:15] ---**
Only the 8th has permission
to go into the Nether to investigate.
**[07:20] ---**
The Holy Sol Temple has not permitted
people to go into the Nether en masse.
**[07:25] ---**
The Nether is an unclean place,
**[07:27] ---**
which is connected to Hell,
and where inhuman creatures live.
**[07:31] ---**
It's super-scary there.
**[07:34] ---**
"Episode 19:
Into the Nether"
**[07:43] ---**
I can't believe trains used to
run under the ground.
**[07:51] ---**
This is the entrance to the Nether?
**[07:54] ---**
You freaking out?
**[07:56] ---**
I'm not afraid of the Nether.
**[07:59] ---**
You must be joking.
**[08:04] ---**
We're really going in?
**[08:05] ---**
My mama is going to be mad at me
for going near this place.
**[08:09] ---**
Vulcan-*kun*, you seem okay with this.
**[08:11] ---**
Yeah. I don't make a habit of it,
but I have been in here a few times,
**[08:16] ---**
inspecting the water treatment facilities.
**[08:19] ---**
I don't make a habit of it, though.
**[08:20] ---**
Are we *really* going in?
**[08:24] ---**
Stop making such a fuss.
**[08:27] ---**
All right, I will now offer a prayer.
**[08:30] ---**
If you please.
**[08:34] ---**
Ever do we worship the rising Sun.
**[08:37] ---**
Please grant thy light to
the souls of the innocent.
**[08:42] ---**
*Látom*.
**[08:45] ---**
Huh?
**[08:46] ---**
Sister, please step back.
**[08:48] ---**
It opened on its own... It's a magic door!
**[08:51] ---**
That's impossible.
**[08:52] ---**
Are we being invited in?
**[08:59] ---**
Oh, it opened, it opened!
It looks like the electricity is running.
**[09:02] ---**
That was you?! Don't scare us like that!
**[09:05] ---**
Wah, the dark Nether...
**[09:06] ---**
Not the Nether! I'm scared!
**[09:16] ---**
So, what's inside? Let me see.
**[09:18] ---**
Wah! Whoa, I went in!
**[09:22] ---**
Captain, you're too spooked.
**[09:25] ---**
It's dark.
**[09:27] ---**
Well, it's the Nether.
**[09:29] ---**
Wow! Is this for real?
This is the Nether? Whoa...
**[09:35] ---**
Maki, some light.
**[09:37] ---**
Oh, let's see... Yes, sir.
**[09:41] ---**
Sputter, Flare...
**[09:46] ---**
A regular light would have been fine.
**[09:50] ---**
Don't forget that what we're
heading into is Hell.
**[09:54] ---**
The Evangelist's base and the mysteries
of human combustion are inside.
**[09:59] ---**
Stay sharp and keep moving.
**[10:00] ---**
--Yes, sir.
--Yes, sir.
**[10:02] ---**
Yona, let's stir things up.
**[10:04] ---**
Artistically, and with creativity.
**[10:20] ---**
Everyone, stay close!
**[10:23] ---**
When did--?!
**[10:26] ---**
Where did everyone go?!
**[10:28] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, I'm being pulled by something!
**[10:31] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, help me!
**[10:33] ---**
Inspector Licht!
**[10:35] ---**
Wait, Shinra! Don't get separated!
**[10:41] ---**
Iris, give me your hand!
**[10:42] ---**
Right!
**[10:44] ---**
--Make sure you don't let go!
--Make sure you don't let go!
**[10:48] ---**
--Huh?
--Huh?
**[10:49] ---**
This way! The fog is thinner this way! Hurry!
**[10:56] ---**
--Huh?
--Huh?
**[10:56] ---**
--Huh?!
--Huh?!
**[11:01] ---**
--Who are you?!
--This way! This way!
**[11:04] ---**
No! Watch what you're doing!
**[11:20] ---**
Damn it, they got us.
There are two life readings.
**[11:24] ---**
It looks like there are just two of us here.
**[11:27] ---**
You're the real captain, right?
**[11:31] ---**
And with those funny animal goggles,
you're the real Vulcan.
**[11:36] ---**
Sorry. I made these life-sensing
goggles to counter Mirage.
**[11:41] ---**
Who would have thought they'd use this much fog
**[11:44] ---**
*and* imposters against us at the same time?
**[11:49] ---**
I'm supposed to be a sloth.
**[11:51] ---**
Oh.
**[11:54] ---**
Thanks to Mirage and Yona's teamwork,
we succeeded in dividing the enemy up.
**[12:02] ---**
Send in Assault the Slaughterer.
**[12:14] ---**
I'm going, too.
**[12:18] ---**
Then again, Assault, the Bloody Fire Blast,
**[12:22] ---**
might just wipe out the entire 8th all alone.
**[12:42] ---**
Iris! I'm the real one!
**[12:44] ---**
*I'm* the real one!
**[12:46] ---**
U-Um... hmm...
**[12:49] ---**
How are you having trouble with this?
Any way you look at her, she's the fake!
**[12:53] ---**
That's not true! *She's* the fake!
This is outrageous! Hmph!
**[12:57] ---**
I was the one who was holding
your left hand, remember?
**[13:01] ---**
And I have flame ears. See?
**[13:04] ---**
Yes, you're right about that.
**[13:06] ---**
She's trying to do something
I can't do to trick you! How cruel!
**[13:11] ---**
How mean! I could cry!
**[13:18] ---**
This could be a cleverly-set trap.
**[13:21] ---**
Aw, jeez! Iris, there's no convincing you!
**[13:24] ---**
Also, she has the voice of an old man!
**[13:26] ---**
Oh...
**[13:41] ---**
*You're* the real Tamaki-san!
**[13:43] ---**
Yes, I'm Tamaki...
**[13:47] ---**
--I'm gonna take my frustration
toward Iris out on you, pops!
--Slink, slink, slink...
**[13:51] ---**
--Huh? Pops?
--Slink, slink, slink...
**[13:54] ---**
Ah! Hey! Hold it! Hey!
**[14:03] ---**
You're first, are you? There are
many others after you today.
**[14:11] ---**
Assault. That's the name of
the one who will kill you.
**[14:14] ---**
"Knights of the Ashen Flame"
"Slaughterer"
"Assault"
**[14:18] ---**
I won't hold back.
**[14:26] ---**
You're kidding me.
All alone, here, in the Nether?
**[14:49] ---**
Oh, it's just a woman.
**[14:52] ---**
You look frightened. Afraid of the dark?
**[14:56] ---**
We're about to show you an even greater terror.
**[15:03] ---**
Thank goodness! I was anxious in here
by myself. I thought you were ghosts.
**[15:09] ---**
What's up with this woman?
Has being in the dark made her crazy?
**[15:13] ---**
Kill her.
**[15:14] ---**
Screw with us, will you?!
**[15:20] ---**
I'm not screwing with you.
**[15:22] ---**
I can handle you as long as you're a person.
**[15:26] ---**
Prepare to engage!
**[15:28] ---**
Set elevation angle to 90!
**[15:31] ---**
Pressure circuits check!
**[15:33] ---**
Power unit disengaged!
**[15:35] ---**
Thermal power charging!
**[15:38] ---**
Maintain formation!
**[15:41] ---**
You're Flail.
**[15:43] ---**
I understand you're the one who
roughed up my dear colleagues.
**[15:49] ---**
Twin Hover Units Tekkyo, activate!
**[15:57] ---**
You look like you work out some,
but what can you do by yourself?
**[16:02] ---**
We are combat pros.
**[16:05] ---**
Oh, yeah? You don't look it.
**[16:08] ---**
Don't you mock us!
**[16:11] ---**
A second generation, huh?
**[16:13] ---**
Fire! Fire!
**[16:16] ---**
That level of flame won't do any good,
no matter how much you shoot.
**[16:43] ---**
Why, you... little pest!
**[17:02] ---**
Ho...
**[17:08] ---**
In the name of the Evangelist,
remission of death to the fool!
**[17:17] ---**
This fireball is my ability.
**[17:20] ---**
I can control it at will.
**[17:23] ---**
Meteor Strike!
**[17:31] ---**
Let the flames crush you--
**[17:48] ---**
I don't care how brawny a woman
you are, you're still a woman!
**[17:51] ---**
That didn't hurt!
**[17:54] ---**
Who...
**[17:56] ---**
...are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
**[18:03] ---**
I have to hurry and meet up with the others.
**[18:10] ---**
Iris, stand back.
**[18:12] ---**
Right.
**[18:18] ---**
He's a third generation, all right.
**[18:31] ---**
Ho... Your resistance to flames
is pretty high, at least.
**[18:39] ---**
Are you all right?
**[18:40] ---**
Stay back!
**[18:42] ---**
I have other things to do today.
**[18:46] ---**
Besides, enemies of the Evangelist or not,
**[18:49] ---**
I am not interested in beating up
women and children.
**[18:52] ---**
I will kill you all at once.
**[19:00] ---**
Are you sure you want to go?
You're supposed to be with the 1st.
**[19:05] ---**
I don't want to force you to do anything.
**[19:06] ---**
I may be on suspension, but right now,
I'm a member of the 8th.
**[19:11] ---**
I will go on your missions.
**[19:20] ---**
Hey, I heard you're going
to the Nether, too, huh?
**[19:25] ---**
If you ever get in trouble again,
call for me anytime.
**[19:29] ---**
I am a Fire Soldier! My job is to protect,
not to be protected!
**[19:36] ---**
Come to think of it, you *are* a Fire Soldier.
**[19:45] ---**
I wear the same coveralls, don't I?!
**[19:51] ---**
I can do this...
**[19:56] ---**
I'll protect you, Iris.
**[19:59] ---**
Assault, Assassin of the Abyss,
solemnly gets going.
**[20:12] ---**
You do not run when I confront you.
I applaud your courage.
**[20:18] ---**
"Crimson Bullet." This is over now. Farewell!
**[20:24] ---**
Give me more credit than that!
**[20:31] ---**
She avoided it?!
**[20:39] ---**
Off I go...
**[20:47] ---**
Get off!
**[20:48] ---**
I can't see!
**[20:50] ---**
--She... got me...
--Feels breezy...
**[20:56] ---**
*Látom*.
**[21:05] ---**
I won't be done in so easily--
**[21:25] ---**
*Látom*.
**[21:26] ---**
How about that? Did you see that, Kusakabe?
**[21:29] ---**
I can protect others by myself!
**[21:31] ---**
Are you sure you'd be okay
with Shinra-*san* seeing that?
**[21:36] ---**
Oh, no... but all's well that ends well.
**[21:42] ---**
You're someone I can turn to.
**[21:55] ---**
It's dark, now. Don't get separated from me.
**[21:59] ---**
Right!

**[00:10] ---**
Raffles and his disciples used the flame
bestowed by the great Sol
**[00:14] ---**
and the technology cultivated
by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
**[00:20] ---**
The sacred flame of Amaterasu
benefits the lives of mankind,
**[00:25] ---**
and ended up establishing the foundation
of a state in the Far East.
**[00:50] ---**
An underground railway station?
**[01:05] ---**
My turnout coat melted instantly.
That's pretty intense.
**[01:10] ---**
Where are you? I didn't hear a sound.
**[01:15] ---**
Somewhere in the darkness...
**[01:20] ---**
The man with the flame that
exterminates mankind, the Adolla Burst,
**[01:24] ---**
does not belong with you.
**[01:27] ---**
Bringing him here saves us a lot of trouble.
We will take the Adolla Burst.
**[01:33] ---**
What do you intend to do with Shinra?!
What is your objective?!
**[01:42] ---**
Die.
**[03:20] ---**
Inspector Licht!
**[03:23] ---**
I've been completely isolated.
The enemy could appear at any second.
**[03:29] ---**
I'm On-His-Toes Man!
**[03:32] ---**
Stop!
**[03:34] ---**
Inspector Licht!
**[03:36] ---**
Stay right where you are.
**[03:39] ---**
Save me, Shinra-*kun*!
**[03:41] ---**
Man with the Adolla Burst,
if you value this man's life,
**[03:45] ---**
you're going to come with us.
**[03:48] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, the Rapid!
**[03:50] ---**
You know, the tiger hand sign!
**[03:52] ---**
You keep quiet!
**[04:01] ---**
That was some incredible speed.
**[04:04] ---**
"Rapid," huh? That's better than
"Kicker-Man Kick."
**[04:08] ---**
Mwa-ha-ha-ha! Did you see
that "Rapid-Man Kick"?
**[04:12] ---**
Just "Rapid" by itself is fine, isn't it?
**[04:15] ---**
You'll have Captain Shinmon
shoot you down again otherwise.
**[04:18] ---**
Nah, it needs the "Man."
**[04:21] ---**
*Shinrabansho* .
**[04:23] ---**
You can't spell it without the *man*
that ties my brother and me together.
**[04:27] ---**
Me!
**[04:27] ---**
"Shinra"
**[04:28] ---**
My brother!
**[04:29] ---**
"Shinra"
**[04:29] ---**
"Sho"
**[04:30] ---**
"Man"! Put it together, and...
**[04:31] ---**
"Shinra" "Man"
**[04:33] ---**
"Shinrabansho"
**[04:34] ---**
*Shinrabansho*!
**[04:37] ---**
So I have to be "Uses-'Man' Man"!
**[04:39] ---**
Makes sense. That explanation should
please the strict Captain Shinmon, too.
**[04:48] ---**
Is that Lieutenant Hinawa? The others
are fighting the White-Clad, too.
**[04:54] ---**
We can't let ourselves be outdone by them.
**[05:09] ---**
Looks like my position has been compromised.
**[05:15] ---**
My enemy is in the darkness.
**[05:17] ---**
The light she releases is too strong,
and I can't pin her location down.
**[05:21] ---**
I tried to use my Ricochet Control
to pepper a wide area,
**[05:24] ---**
but there's no sign that I hit her.
**[05:27] ---**
There are many obstacles in the area.
Should I attempt close combat instead?
**[05:35] ---**
Whatever I do, this location is compromised.
**[05:38] ---**
I have to move.
**[05:41] ---**
Don't slow down, just slip through here
and approach the enemy.
**[05:47] ---**
We'll wait for our opening to strike, too.
**[05:50] ---**
With Arrow? I doubt we'll get the chance.
**[05:55] ---**
I have my Ricochet Control.
**[05:57] ---**
Since we're both using long-range
weapons, the closer I get,
**[06:00] ---**
the greater my advantage should be.
**[06:02] ---**
Did you think you could escape
my arrows in there?
**[06:07] ---**
Quite the opposite.
You've lost *your* route of escape.
**[06:11] ---**
Break.
**[06:14] ---**
Damn it!
**[06:29] ---**
This is your hunting ground.
**[06:32] ---**
I don't let the prey I target escape.
I'm taking the Adolla Burst, too.
**[06:41] ---**
You people don't know the importance of life.
**[06:45] ---**
You are not getting Shinra.
**[06:47] ---**
The world is continuously changing,
**[06:50] ---**
and even now, is about
to change dramatically.
**[06:54] ---**
That transition does not
require human emotion.
**[06:58] ---**
Those who invoke or assert
the importance of their existence
**[07:01] ---**
are fools who can't conform
themselves to the way of world.
**[07:05] ---**
What Shinra Kusakabe thinks or wants
**[07:09] ---**
has no meaning whatsoever.
**[07:12] ---**
The Evangelist requires his Adolla Burst.
**[07:15] ---**
We will take it.
**[07:18] ---**
Once a person affiliates
with an organization,
**[07:20] ---**
their individual feelings
are no longer as important.
**[07:24] ---**
When that extends to a nation
or the world, all the more so.
**[07:29] ---**
In a world where people suddenly catch fire,
**[07:31] ---**
and their lives are snuffed
out just like that,
**[07:34] ---**
rather than always being tripped up by
the chaos, and getting bogged down in it,
**[07:38] ---**
fulfilling your role as an unconcerned,
dispassionate cog in society
**[07:44] ---**
is what's best for the world.
**[07:46] ---**
There are more than a few people,
myself included, who think that way.
**[07:51] ---**
That way is easier, after all.
Having feelings is exhausting.
**[07:56] ---**
So why do you fight us?
**[08:02] ---**
Shinra's feelings don't matter, you say?
**[08:06] ---**
Hand over one of my men,
you say? Don't insult me.
**[08:10] ---**
While I agree that feelings are exhausting...
**[08:15] ---**
...I can't help but feel steamed.
**[08:18] ---**
"Episode 20:
Wearing His Pride"
**[08:26] ---**
Devastating...
**[08:31] ---**
A devastating roar... A
devastating shockwave...
**[08:36] ---**
What is that man shooting?
**[08:45] ---**
They're standard 7.62×51mm rounds,
**[08:49] ---**
accelerated to as fast as they can go.
**[08:52] ---**
Even if I don't get a direct hit,
the sonic boom created by their extreme speed
**[08:56] ---**
means you don't stand a chance.
**[08:59] ---**
That force is so great that
a single shot destroys the barrel.
**[09:03] ---**
Almost like a cannon.
Is Arrow going to be all right?
**[09:17] ---**
I was planning to find
an opening to strike at him,
**[09:20] ---**
but that would be like stepping into
a shootout between two tanks!
**[09:31] ---**
All my strength is gone... and my eyesight...
**[09:35] ---**
I feel like my eyelids
are stuck to my eyeballs.
**[09:39] ---**
My consciousness is
drifting away from my body.
**[09:44] ---**
In this subterranean darkness and dust cloud,
**[09:47] ---**
the smell of gunpowder is the
only thing I can clearly make out.
**[09:53] ---**
What's become of... the other shooter?
**[10:02] ---**
In a world where people suddenly catch fire,
**[10:04] ---**
and their lives are
snuffed out just like that...
**[10:08] ---**
...becoming indifferent to your own life
is a way to devote yourself to that world.
**[10:16] ---**
Even if I die, it won't...
**[10:31] ---**
The 8th, though... we don't even
have an entire company,
**[10:35] ---**
and they still made me its lieutenant.
**[10:38] ---**
I dread thinking of Captain Obi
taking it all on himself.
**[10:42] ---**
If I'm dead, who's going
to look after our men?
**[10:50] ---**
The reason you didn't kill me
is because your first shot
**[10:55] ---**
didn't hit my left shoulder,
which bears the 8th's emblem.
**[11:01] ---**
I'll use her flames...
**[11:04] ---**
...to increase its velocity even more!
**[11:12] ---**
"Velocity Unbridled"
**[11:27] ---**
That consumed quite a lot.
I don't think I can move for a while.
**[11:35] ---**
I guess the young ones wouldn't go along
with this kind of never-give-up spirit.
**[11:47] ---**
You're the fog and shimmer guys...
**[11:50] ---**
So you finally show yourselves, you cowards.
**[11:54] ---**
Hitting the enemy when they're
at their weakest is Tactics 101.
**[11:58] ---**
Arrow has fulfilled her role.
**[12:04] ---**
How does it feel to be killed
by the coward you just insulted?
**[12:08] ---**
I doubt you have any
strength left to fight back.
**[12:11] ---**
I'll finish you off.
**[12:22] ---**
What a pity. That was a shimmer. Die.
**[12:27] ---**
That was powerful, for a last-ditch effort,
**[12:30] ---**
but pointless if you don't hit him.
**[12:36] ---**
No,
**[12:38] ---**
I hit what I was aiming for.
**[12:52] ---**
Hmph.
**[12:56] ---**
Descending from the heavens,
but born out of the earth,
**[13:01] ---**
I venture both above and below...
**[13:06] ---**
I am a knight.
**[13:11] ---**
I saw Arthur looking down from the ceiling.
**[13:15] ---**
I shot him down.
**[13:19] ---**
The one who summoned me,
the heavenly champion, down to earth...
**[13:25] ---**
...was you, Lieutenant?
**[13:29] ---**
I don't have to explain
the situation to you, do I?
**[13:32] ---**
No. His face was exposed then,
but he's the one from Vulcan's workshop.
**[13:38] ---**
Mirage, if you would?
**[13:40] ---**
So it's you.
**[13:42] ---**
I'll bring you down again with my shimmers.
**[13:49] ---**
One-trick pony, are you?
**[13:52] ---**
My "one trick" is bringing
an end to all of this.
**[13:56] ---**
Die!
**[14:08] ---**
I didn't sense the weight
of life in that attack.
**[14:13] ---**
On the battlefield, feel life.
**[14:15] ---**
Your own life, your friends' lives,
the other side's lives.
**[14:20] ---**
When you're aware of all those lives,
the tension won't get you so worked up.
**[14:25] ---**
Don't get tripped up by diversions or feints.
**[14:28] ---**
Discern the attack that is
coming to take your life!
**[14:32] ---**
Concentrate. If I feel the life around me,
I won't get worked up.
**[14:39] ---**
I am now multiclassing,
with the samurai abilities I've acquired.
**[14:44] ---**
A knight-samurai.
**[14:45] ---**
"Knight-samurai!!!"
**[14:51] ---**
Hold on.
**[14:53] ---**
Focus.
**[14:55] ---**
Being a knight-samurai would
make me a samurai, wouldn't it?
**[14:58] ---**
Which would mean... what, exactly?
**[15:04] ---**
I see now, I have it backward.
**[15:07] ---**
A samurai-knight.
**[15:08] ---**
"Samurai-knight!!!"
**[15:13] ---**
Your dynamic visual acuity is too sharp.
**[15:16] ---**
That may be why you're easily fooled by
what meets the eye and fine movement.
**[15:25] ---**
There's more out there
than just what you can see.
**[15:28] ---**
He must be speculating that they're all
feint shimmers probing his reactions,
**[15:32] ---**
and just pretending to be discriminating.
**[15:35] ---**
In that case,
**[15:36] ---**
with this large a number attacking en masse,
**[15:39] ---**
he's sure to think that the real me
is mixed in with them.
**[15:42] ---**
However, they're all fakes!
**[15:47] ---**
An earnest attack trying to take your life
has a distinct breathing pattern.
**[15:52] ---**
Be able to detect that breath of life.
**[15:56] ---**
Watch, here it is, dummy!
**[16:00] ---**
The breath of the attack trying to
take my life... The breath of life...
**[16:06] ---**
I will never get closer to you
until you take the shimmer bait
**[16:09] ---**
and leave yourself open.
**[16:13] ---**
And when that opening happens,
**[16:15] ---**
I will strike at you from the shadows
with my throwing knife.
**[16:18] ---**
First...
**[16:22] ---**
The breath of life!
**[16:24] ---**
Iai-calibur!
**[16:38] ---**
Hey, you! Are you trying to kill me
just because I breathed?!
**[16:43] ---**
Don't jump to the wrong conclusion.
I am a knight-samurai.
**[16:50] ---**
I-Impossible...
**[16:55] ---**
He was hiding in the mist to stab
not me, but you, Lieutenant.
**[17:00] ---**
The man is as sneaky as they come.
**[17:03] ---**
Can you get up?
**[17:05] ---**
Well done.
**[17:09] ---**
What about the other one?
**[17:11] ---**
He left his pal here and ran off.
**[17:14] ---**
What was up with his face?
**[17:16] ---**
Is he even human?
**[17:19] ---**
It looked like a put-on face.
What did he look like, if not human?
**[17:32] ---**
First, we meet up with the others.
**[17:34] ---**
Great. Lead the way.
**[17:39] ---**
Well, whatever.
**[17:44] ---**
The way splits again.
The Nether sucks. I don't get it.
**[17:51] ---**
Which way do you think we should go?
**[17:57] ---**
There's something glowing down the left way.
**[18:04] ---**
Huh? Something's coming this way!
**[18:06] ---**
E-Eyes?!
**[18:11] ---**
--Eep!
--Demon!
**[18:13] ---**
Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
**[18:15] ---**
--I never said that!
--I never said that!
**[18:18] ---**
Huh? Maki-*san*?
**[18:21] ---**
Then, those demonic eyes are...
**[18:24] ---**
...Sputter and Flare?
**[18:27] ---**
Wah! Maki-*san*!
**[18:30] ---**
Oh, there, there.
**[18:37] ---**
Two life signs suddenly appeared.
**[18:40] ---**
Fifteen meters? That's close
enough for visual contact.
**[18:43] ---**
Are they on our side?
**[18:46] ---**
You will never see anyone on your side again.
**[18:56] ---**
Lisa...
**[18:58] ---**
You've wrapped yourself up in
the turnout coat that you despise.
**[19:02] ---**
You only look like a fool, Vulcan.
**[19:08] ---**
You look good in anything.
**[19:12] ---**
What are you doing down underground,
**[19:15] ---**
now that you've joined
the Fire Force you hate so much?
**[19:17] ---**
Silly question. To come and
see you, Lisa, obviously.
**[19:27] ---**
What's the matter, Feeler?
**[19:30] ---**
Who was it that took you in?
**[19:33] ---**
Who taught that ignorant,
dirty little cat so attentively?
**[19:38] ---**
I'm the one who showed you how to
manipulate flames, and manipulate men.
**[19:45] ---**
All you did was use everything
I taught you to get close to Vulcan.
**[19:51] ---**
The only reason he took you in
was because of my instruction.
**[19:55] ---**
You are just an ignorant,
dirty little cat, after all.
**[19:59] ---**
Do you need another one of my lessons?
**[20:02] ---**
Get away from Lisa!
**[20:16] ---**
Feeler, Knight of the Ashen Flame.
That is my true name.
**[20:22] ---**
"Knights of the Ashen Flame"
"Junior Knight"
"Feeler"
**[20:25] ---**
That's right. Defend me.
**[20:28] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[20:29] ---**
It's not true, Lisa!
**[20:31] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:34] ---**
The Iron-madillo?
**[20:36] ---**
I don't know what you taught Lisa-*san*,
**[20:40] ---**
but it's only right for grown-ups
to teach the youth!
**[20:44] ---**
You're damn condescending, old geezer!
**[20:49] ---**
Then *you're* the real ignorant one here,
feckless captain of the 8th.
**[20:54] ---**
Call me whatever you like.
**[20:56] ---**
You don't even know what the
flames of human combustion are.
**[21:01] ---**
Our Evangelist knows all.
**[21:06] ---**
Including why the spontaneous
human combustion
**[21:10] ---**
that is attacking our world is occurring,
**[21:12] ---**
what the bugs that trigger
artificial human combustion really are,
**[21:17] ---**
the secret of the Adolla Burst
that Shinra Kusakabe possesses,
**[21:21] ---**
why that flame is called
the "Flame of Perdition,"
**[21:25] ---**
what happened in the world in the past...
**[21:30] ---**
...and what is happening to it right now.
**[21:34] ---**
The Evangelist knows all of it.
**[21:38] ---**
I'm not going to tell you a thing.
**[21:43] ---**
Then you really are a lousy teacher.
**[21:48] ---**
You are an intriguing man.
**[21:51] ---**
**[21:53] ---**
**[21:55] ---**
**[22:03] ---**
"To be continued"

**[00:21] ---**
Lisa...
**[00:30] ---**
There's no way you two,
who are unpowered, can beat us.
**[00:34] ---**
Lisa-*san*! Don't do this!
**[00:36] ---**
Here in this world,
where human combustion is rampant,
**[00:40] ---**
you who are unpowered and unable to
cope with it have no choice but to die.
**[00:43] ---**
However, Lisa's power
has been kindled within her.
**[00:48] ---**
Thanks to her compatibility with the bugs.
**[00:52] ---**
My parents died in a fire
caused by an Infernal.
**[00:56] ---**
Ever since then, I feared the flames,
**[00:59] ---**
but thanks to the bugs, my eyes were opened,
and the fear disappeared.
**[01:02] ---**
Lisa, you're being fooled!
**[01:04] ---**
Just like you before, I
don't have any powers.
**[01:08] ---**
As a Fire Soldier, carrying out my duties,
I, too, experience the terror of the flames.
**[01:18] ---**
Dr. Giovanni is only preying on your
vulnerability to take advantage of you!
**[01:22] ---**
You can say that to her with your ax in hand?
**[01:25] ---**
I'm directing that at you!
**[01:29] ---**
Stop this, Lisa-*san*!
There's no reason to protect him!
**[01:33] ---**
These tentacles that envelop me
react to magnetism,
**[01:37] ---**
and automatically defend me.
**[01:40] ---**
The flames that I once feared
are now something that protect me.
**[01:44] ---**
What kind of bug did this to you, Lisa?!
**[01:49] ---**
Would you like to know?
**[01:52] ---**
I'm not telling you!
**[01:55] ---**
You're both going to die in ignorance!
**[01:58] ---**
You are one aggravating old coot!
**[02:03] ---**
Did you think you could put out
my flames with a fire extinguisher?!
**[02:08] ---**
That won't work, Captain!
**[02:10] ---**
Yeah, we'll see!
**[02:14] ---**
Are you just messing with me now?
**[02:17] ---**
No, I'm not messing with you.
**[02:19] ---**
I'm trying my hardest to rescue you
from the flames holding you captive!
**[02:24] ---**
I am not captive!
**[02:26] ---**
Then tell me, why do you look so anxious?
**[02:29] ---**
I am not anxious!
**[02:34] ---**
Putting out fires is our job.
**[02:41] ---**
You brought something as useless as
a fire extinguisher to the battlefield?
**[02:44] ---**
What a foolish man you are.
**[02:48] ---**
You used to be a Fire Soldier, right?
You know how dangerous a scene can be.
**[02:54] ---**
The motto of a Fire Soldier
is to protect lives and property!
**[02:59] ---**
Rescue equipment is never useless!
**[03:04] ---**
Kill them.
**[03:05] ---**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[03:08] ---**
Your compassion is going
to cost you your life.
**[03:10] ---**
Your desire to save lives is pointless
if you lose your own life.
**[03:15] ---**
The last thing I'd do is
treat my life carelessly.
**[03:19] ---**
I've been setting things up to save you,
Lisa-*san*. Sorry to keep you.
**[03:28] ---**
Obi!
**[03:30] ---**
You pretended to get beaten up by her
**[03:31] ---**
so you could put extinguisher grenades
on each of her tentacles?!
**[03:40] ---**
I'm falling...!
**[03:45] ---**
I don't have anything left...
**[03:49] ---**
Dad... Mom...
**[04:06] ---**
Vulcan!
**[04:12] ---**
I don't think you get it, Feeler!
**[05:47] ---**
Feeler!
**[05:53] ---**
Who was it that saved you
from the flame terror?
**[05:57] ---**
I'm the one who allowed you
to stay together with Vulcan.
**[06:02] ---**
I know you haven't forgotten
how indebted you are to me.
**[06:05] ---**
Come back.
**[06:08] ---**
Lisa!
**[06:10] ---**
It's no use.
**[06:12] ---**
Dr. Giovanni is the one who
gave to me when I lost everything.
**[06:17] ---**
I can't turn against him.
**[06:21] ---**
Just leave me alone, okay?
**[06:29] ---**
Giovanni!
**[06:30] ---**
Don't move. I will burn through
her neck with this heating wire.
**[06:34] ---**
Stop!
**[06:40] ---**
Vulcan, if you want to save this girl,
you will do as I say.
**[06:46] ---**
Take that gun and shoot Obi with it.
**[06:49] ---**
Just how rotten are you?!
**[06:53] ---**
Rejoice, Feeler.
**[06:56] ---**
Right now, your life is being
put to use to serve the Evangelist.
**[07:01] ---**
Isn't that what you want?
**[07:04] ---**
Vulcan, do as he says.
**[07:16] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[07:17] ---**
Hold your head up.
**[07:19] ---**
Now, shoot him. You're out of time.
**[07:23] ---**
You can make a big production,
but it comes down to you shooting him or not.
**[07:27] ---**
If you shoot him, Feeler lives;
**[07:29] ---**
if you don't, Lisa dies.
**[07:32] ---**
That's all there is to it.
**[07:34] ---**
I swear I'm gonna kill you!
**[07:36] ---**
You are?
**[07:38] ---**
Then you can watch as this heating wire
sends the girl's head flying.
**[07:43] ---**
Shoot me, Vulcan! Shoot me and save Lisa-*san*!
**[07:52] ---**
I can't!
**[07:53] ---**
Then Lisa is finished.
**[07:55] ---**
Shoot me, Vulcan! Lisa-*san* will be killed!
**[07:59] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[08:04] ---**
Damn it!
**[08:16] ---**
You'd shoot your superior
to protect your girl, Vulcan?
**[08:27] ---**
Lisa...
**[08:29] ---**
Captain...
**[08:35] ---**
Damn that's terrifying,
even knowing it's coming!
**[08:43] ---**
Turnout coats aren't
supposed to be bulletproof.
**[08:46] ---**
You had something rigged up over your chest.
**[08:51] ---**
Would you like to know?
Hmm? Giovanni? Hmm?
**[08:57] ---**
--It's an anti-physical-attack vest!
--I'm not telling!
**[09:01] ---**
Aww...
**[09:03] ---**
I am the 8th's engineer!
**[09:05] ---**
There's no way I'm letting
my captain go out unprotected!
**[09:09] ---**
And that's why you did something that rash.
**[09:12] ---**
We trust each other at the 8th,
which makes us a team.
**[09:16] ---**
Trust is a ridiculous, inexplicable concept!
**[09:20] ---**
What kind of disordered hardware is that?!
**[09:23] ---**
If the old man saw those, he'd be disgusted.
**[09:26] ---**
Penguin-met, equip!
**[09:32] ---**
I'm going to give your
machinery a strength test!
**[09:47] ---**
You make some weak hardware, don't you?
**[09:52] ---**
Lisa!
**[09:57] ---**
Lisa...
**[09:58] ---**
Nice! Way to go!
**[10:00] ---**
Pretty smooth work for an unpowered.
**[10:05] ---**
You started out as a Fire Soldier!
**[10:08] ---**
How does someone who protects
the people from the flames
**[10:11] ---**
end up giving rise to man-made Infernals?!
**[10:14] ---**
What is this Evangelist you speak of after
to be doing such a thing?!
**[10:19] ---**
You said that the motto
you Fire Soldiers have
**[10:21] ---**
is to protect lives and property, didn't you?
**[10:25] ---**
Don't you realize how trivial that is?
**[10:30] ---**
Take a broader look at the world.
**[10:32] ---**
People are just a small portion
of the energy in it.
**[10:37] ---**
Let stunted humanity burn,
and become a part of this world!
**[10:42] ---**
That's a load of crap!
**[10:44] ---**
Around 250 years ago, the planet
faced the Day of the Cataclysm.
**[10:50] ---**
The cause of it was the release
of a massive Adolla Burst.
**[10:55] ---**
Further, the source of the Adolla Burst
is a place you already believe in.
**[11:03] ---**
Long before the Solar calendar began,
**[11:06] ---**
before even the Great Cataclysm,
since time immemorial,
**[11:09] ---**
mankind has lived in fear of it.
**[11:14] ---**
Regardless of what causes human combustion,
it's our job to stop it.
**[11:20] ---**
There isn't a good reason
to set people ablaze!
**[11:24] ---**
Spontaneous human combustion
is in keeping with natural law.
**[11:28] ---**
Do you intend to defy the natural order?
**[11:31] ---**
Your own bugs are unnatural!
**[11:39] ---**
Do you think the Evangelist to be
a common person such as yourselves?
**[11:44] ---**
Whoever or whatever the Evangelist may be,
**[11:46] ---**
they're nothing more than an idol
you heretics have propped up to worship!
**[11:52] ---**
Honestly. What a ridiculous notion.
An idol we worship?
**[11:58] ---**
Then what does that make the great
Sol of the Holy Sol Temple?
**[12:01] ---**
What is the meaning in offering prayers
that you don't know will be answered
**[12:06] ---**
to a god that you don't know exists?
**[12:07] ---**
Say what you will, but the Holy Sol Temple
doesn't burn people!
**[12:12] ---**
The Evangelist is no idol.
**[12:17] ---**
An unpowered such as yourself
could not comprehend the Evangelist.
**[12:22] ---**
Though Shinra Kusakabe
may be starting to get an inkling.
**[12:32] ---**
"Episode 21:
Those Connected"
**[12:42] ---**
Shinra-*kun*? Are you all right?
**[13:12] ---**
Where is... this place...?
**[13:28] ---**
Who... are you...?
**[13:34] ---**
Shinra!
**[13:52] ---**
Sho...
**[14:15] ---**
Shinra-*kun*!
**[14:17] ---**
Are you okay, Shinra-*kun*?
**[14:20] ---**
What... did I...?
**[14:26] ---**
"Devil's Footprints."
**[14:29] ---**
What's the matter? Do you see something?
**[14:37] ---**
He's there, up ahead-- Sho.
**[14:46] ---**
Right about now,
**[14:47] ---**
Shinra Kusakabe's Adolla Burst should be
starting to Link with Commander Sho.
**[14:53] ---**
Link? What is it he's connecting with?
**[14:57] ---**
What is an Adolla Burst?!
**[15:00] ---**
An Adolla Burst is a special flame
that can affect all other heat.
**[15:05] ---**
It's the next step beyond a pyrokinetic,
**[15:07] ---**
as well as the pilot light
behind human combustion.
**[15:11] ---**
Then what are those bugs?!
**[15:14] ---**
Why do you use them as pilot lights
to trigger human combustion?!
**[15:17] ---**
The connection between bugs and flames?
**[15:20] ---**
It's often said that the biology of insects
evolved down a different path
**[15:24] ---**
than the other creatures of the earth, right?
**[15:27] ---**
So then, where did bugs come from?
**[15:30] ---**
What if they come from the same place
that Adolla Bursts originate?
**[15:35] ---**
"Like moths to a flame."
**[15:38] ---**
What if that behavior is them trying
to return to their mother flames?
**[15:53] ---**
So, you came after all... Shinra Kusakabe.
**[15:58] ---**
Yeah! I'm here, just like I promised!
**[16:01] ---**
Promised? Promised to whom?
**[16:04] ---**
To our mom, Sho.
**[16:08] ---**
I don't have a mother. The only
mother figure I have is the Evangelist.
**[16:13] ---**
Just thinking that you and I
might be brothers turns my stomach.
**[16:17] ---**
I have no recollection of being
born from that filthy belly.
**[16:36] ---**
Don't speak ill of Mom.
**[16:39] ---**
Two bearers of an Adolla Burst,
right before my eyes!
**[16:43] ---**
Fantastic!
**[17:36] ---**
You're not in the mood
for a friendly chat, then?
**[18:05] ---**
Are you able to see this, too?
**[18:41] ---**
What just happened?
It was like he stopped time.
**[18:45] ---**
How could he do that with pyrokinesis?
**[19:09] ---**
Captain!
**[19:10] ---**
--Lieutenant Hinawa!
**[19:12] ---**
--Maki!
--Lieutenant Hinawa!
**[19:13] ---**
Captain!
**[19:14] ---**
The lesson is over.
**[19:17] ---**
My task was to get Commander Sho
and Shinra Kusakabe together.
**[19:23] ---**
Now that it has been accomplished,
I have no need to buy any more time.
**[19:28] ---**
All by the grace of the Evangelist.
**[19:31] ---**
Hold it!
**[19:36] ---**
Adolla Bursts are the cause
of human combustion?
**[19:40] ---**
What the hell is happening to the world?
**[19:45] ---**
You think you can just run away?!
**[19:47] ---**
I'll leave Lisa here. But you will not
reverse her brainwashing.
**[19:52] ---**
Please wait... Please
don't leave me behind...
**[19:58] ---**
Lisa...
**[20:00] ---**
Brainwashing... Religion... Faith...
**[20:05] ---**
They're like a curse to people.
**[20:11] ---**
Bye, now.
**[20:15] ---**
However quickly you may be able to move,
you can never catch up to me.
**[20:21] ---**
The universes in which
we exist are different.
**[20:25] ---**
Universes?
**[20:26] ---**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[20:29] ---**
We live in different universes?
Is that why you're telling me to give up?
**[20:34] ---**
I'm taking you with me,
even if I have to drag you along!
**[20:59] ---**
What is that steam?
**[21:03] ---**
What, have you been bewitched by a fox?
**[21:09] ---**
Universes... time... freezing...
**[21:12] ---**
If he's engaging enough heat
to expand the universe...
**[21:16] ---**
I-It can't be...!
**[21:20] ---**
Even if he *is* a third generation,
can a person do such a thing?!
**[21:25] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, let's get out of here!
He's too much for you! You can't win!
**[21:29] ---**
Commander Sho is...!
**[21:31] ---**
Huh? What exactly is Sho doing?
**[21:34] ---**
No matter how fast you are,
it is meaningless against me.
**[21:40] ---**
I can control my own universe.
**[21:43] ---**
Your own universe?
What the hell does that mean?
**[21:51] ---**
Another Adolla Link?
**[21:55] ---**
You will never understand it
if I explain it in words.

**[00:08] ---**
A long time ago, mankind was
touched by the planet's anger,
**[00:12] ---**
and the world was engulfed in flames.
**[00:14] ---**
It was the Day of the Cataclysm.
**[00:17] ---**
The flames burned ferociously,
**[00:20] ---**
with an intensity threatening to
incinerate the places mankind lived,
**[00:23] ---**
the languages they spoke,
and the culture they had built up.
**[00:38] ---**
This is Yona.
**[00:41] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[00:43] ---**
The crewmen from the 8th have been split up.
**[00:46] ---**
At the moment, the two of them
are still quiet. It's just getting started.
**[00:50] ---**
Shinra Kusakabe and
Commander Sho's second contact.
**[00:55] ---**
All as the Evangelist has declared. *Látom*.
**[01:01] ---**
Now then, I'm concerned
about what's happening.
**[01:03] ---**
Off to where Commander Sho and Shinra are.
**[01:06] ---**
I'm here.
**[01:08] ---**
Don't sneak up and stand behind others
like that, Haumea! You startled me!
**[01:12] ---**
Commander Sho and I are not the only ones
who possess an Adolla Burst.
**[01:16] ---**
It seems like it's about to happen.
**[01:18] ---**
"Evangelist's Subordinate: Haumea"
**[01:22] ---**
It has been 198 years since
the Solar calendar was instituted.
**[01:26] ---**
The Evangelist is pleased.
**[01:32] ---**
The Adolla Burst is the primordial flame.
**[01:34] ---**
It is called the Flame of Perdition,
and is still considered a mystery.
**[01:39] ---**
But you are now seeing this
via Adolla Link, aren't you?
**[01:42] ---**
This unusual land, with its black ground
and countless flames rising from it.
**[01:49] ---**
*This* is the Adolla Burst.
**[01:52] ---**
Then, Adolla Bursts are flames
from this other dimension?
**[01:56] ---**
How do I, ostensibly still on Earth,
have something from this other dimension?
**[02:00] ---**
Because it is an energy that
can affect all other things.
**[02:04] ---**
So then, what? You're saying that
spontaneous human combustion
**[02:07] ---**
is caused by this strange world
we're looking at now?
**[02:11] ---**
The Adolla Link... What
exactly is this place?
**[02:16] ---**
This is the underworld of Adolla.
**[02:18] ---**
Those who witnessed
this land anciently called it...
**[02:23] ---**
..."Hell."
**[02:28] ---**
Do you see who is behind me?
This is the Evangelist.
**[04:18] ---**
You're the Evangelist?
**[04:20] ---**
You're the one who's using Sho
to carry out human combustion?!
**[04:32] ---**
It vanished...?
**[04:33] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, are you okay? What's going on?
Is something the matter?
**[04:42] ---**
Through the grace of the Evangelist,
**[04:45] ---**
I can affect all things.
**[04:47] ---**
Your Adolla Burst cannot measure up.
**[04:50] ---**
Yes, Commander Sho's ability...
**[04:53] ---**
It allows him to mess with the
thermal expansion of the universe,
**[04:57] ---**
and stop time!
**[04:59] ---**
You can do that with an Adolla Burst?
**[05:04] ---**
He is correct. I steal the heat
of expansion and stop time.
**[05:10] ---**
I don't care how fast you've gotten, Shinra,
**[05:13] ---**
if the benchmark of time itself is stopped,
you'll never catch up to him!
**[05:17] ---**
Well, screw that.
**[05:19] ---**
It doesn't mean that I can just give up!
**[05:35] ---**
Damn it!
**[05:38] ---**
No matter how hard you struggle,
you look like you're standing still to me.
**[05:43] ---**
You little brat...
**[05:54] ---**
It's no use! You can't beat him!
**[05:58] ---**
It is beyond you. You cannot catch me.
**[06:02] ---**
What was that?
**[06:04] ---**
You cannot beat me.
**[06:06] ---**
"*You* cannot *this*," "*you* cannot *that*."
Put a sock in it.
**[06:09] ---**
You're a real sassy little kid.
**[06:11] ---**
What *you* can do is just once,
be nice and call me "Big Brother"!
**[06:20] ---**
Aw, man, now I'm angry!
**[06:22] ---**
Just you watch! I'm going to
catch you, right now!
**[06:26] ---**
Good luck, "Big Brother"!
**[06:28] ---**
Knock that off!
**[06:31] ---**
Now, let's continue our game of tag.
**[06:34] ---**
After all, you couldn't even
toddle around 12 years ago.
**[06:37] ---**
This is pointless. A waste of time.
**[06:39] ---**
Go on, start running, Sho.
**[06:42] ---**
Your brother is "it,"
and he's going to catch you.
**[07:06] ---**
You've never played tag, have you?
**[07:09] ---**
Hitting the person who's "it"
is against the rules.
**[07:12] ---**
I have no intention of playing along
with your tomfoolery.
**[07:15] ---**
You really are a stuck-up brat!
**[07:19] ---**
I didn't come here just for the fun of it!
**[07:25] ---**
Sho, Big Brother is going to play with you!
**[07:33] ---**
He forced a Link with me...?
**[07:37] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, have you gotten even faster
since we came down here?
**[07:45] ---**
So close. I went faster than I thought,
and my timing was off.
**[07:52] ---**
What did you just...?
**[07:57] ---**
The reason why Sho's ability is so strong
**[07:59] ---**
must be because he has such a high-grade
connection to the Adolla world.
**[08:05] ---**
An Adolla Link, huh? When my feet tingled,
my speed increased.
**[08:10] ---**
Is that another effect of the Adolla Link?
**[08:14] ---**
The Evangelist... Who is it?
**[08:17] ---**
Are they even human, like us?
**[08:22] ---**
My Adolla burst will get stronger
**[08:24] ---**
if I receive the Evangelist's
"grace" or whatever.
**[08:29] ---**
But how...?
**[08:38] ---**
Damn it...
**[08:40] ---**
I've had a number of Adolla Link
experiences happen to me already.
**[08:44] ---**
There's no reason why I can't do it!
**[08:55] ---**
The way this is going, I
can't hold out forever.
**[09:04] ---**
Severed Universe.
**[09:17] ---**
It's only a matter of
time before you collapse.
**[09:20] ---**
Twice now, other people's emotions
have found their way inside me.
**[09:25] ---**
Lieutenant Konro's plea for help...
**[09:29] ---**
...and Dr. Giovanni's bloodlust.
**[09:32] ---**
Those... must have been
due to an Adolla Link.
**[09:36] ---**
Up to now, I've only been
on the receiving end...
**[09:40] ---**
...but this time, I'm going to be
the one charging in!
**[09:45] ---**
I'm telling you, an Adolla Burst
without grace will do you no good.
**[09:48] ---**
I know!
**[10:04] ---**
Shinra-*kun*, you should get out of here!
You're going to get killed like this!
**[10:18] ---**
Why, when you know it won't work,
**[10:22] ---**
do you just keep coming toward me?
**[10:28] ---**
The image of your face when
you were little haunts me...
**[10:33] ---**
What is the significance of blood relations?
**[10:36] ---**
There is no connection
at all between you and me.
**[10:39] ---**
I've been treated warmly by
the superiors who are around me.
**[10:43] ---**
In that case, we have no choice
but to believe it, as well.
**[10:46] ---**
We're going to form our
strategy around the premise
**[10:49] ---**
that Shinra's brother is still alive.
**[10:50] ---**
Things had been weird
ever since you got back.
**[10:53] ---**
The other companies ought not
interfere with the 8th's matters.
**[10:57] ---**
I'm going to track down the Evangelist, too.
Let me work with you.
**[11:02] ---**
Until you find something that's truly
important to you, I'll count on you.
**[11:06] ---**
He's the only family you have.
Make sure to keep him safe.
**[11:11] ---**
Rubbish.
**[11:17] ---**
And now, I'm going to
hook you up with that kindness.
**[11:25] ---**
Look, Sho, to you, I'm nothing more than
a guy who showed up out of nowhere.
**[11:33] ---**
But to me, you're...
**[11:36] ---**
After I lost you and Mom,
I never thought I'd see you again.
**[11:42] ---**
"Just once again... If only
I could see them once again..."
**[11:47] ---**
I've lived my whole life
up to now thinking that.
**[11:52] ---**
I'm not just going to collapse that easily.
**[11:56] ---**
I can't afford to give up now!
**[12:00] ---**
Sho, thank you for still being alive.
**[12:05] ---**
You're like a miracle to me.
**[12:12] ---**
All I can do is keep going faster!
**[12:17] ---**
And nothing else!
**[12:37] ---**
What?
**[12:39] ---**
This is the motionless world.
**[12:43] ---**
Impossible.
**[12:46] ---**
He disappeared?
**[13:03] ---**
Another earthquake?
**[13:05] ---**
There sure have been a lot of them lately.
**[13:07] ---**
I'm getting a case of nerves in my nerves.
I hope the 8th is all right.
**[13:12] ---**
Keep the chatter to yourselves.
**[13:14] ---**
"Lieutenant Priest"
"Third-generation pyrokinetic"
"Onyango"
**[13:18] ---**
Right.
**[13:19] ---**
I beg your pardon, Lieutenant Onyango.
**[13:22] ---**
Sorry to call you out of retirement.
**[13:24] ---**
What choice did you have,
after Rekka went off?
**[13:27] ---**
Old soldiers can't afford to just fade away.
**[13:30] ---**
Is your right eye okay?
Could this rash of earthquakes mean...?
**[13:36] ---**
I didn't want Shinra Kusakabe
to find his way here.
**[13:45] ---**
Where did you go?
**[13:50] ---**
Do I return time to its normal speed?
**[13:53] ---**
No... It's too dangerous to go back
without identifying his actions.
**[13:59] ---**
But I'm at my limit.
**[14:06] ---**
What?
**[14:13] ---**
O-Ouch... *That* was pretty fast.
**[14:22] ---**
I went right by you, huh?
**[14:24] ---**
When did you... How did you
move all the way over there?
**[14:30] ---**
Maybe I'm getting awfully
close to your speed.
**[14:33] ---**
Our game of tag isn't over yet.
I promise you, I'm going to catch you.
**[14:40] ---**
Sho, what should we play today?
**[14:45] ---**
That image just now--was that an Adolla Link?
**[14:50] ---**
Tell me,
**[14:51] ---**
how did you vanish a moment ago?
**[14:53] ---**
Hell if I know. I was
just trying to go faster.
**[14:57] ---**
Shinra-*kun* disappeared from
his world of stopped time.
**[15:00] ---**
He just tried to increase his speed,
and disappeared?
**[15:03] ---**
When a body exceeds a certain speed,
it can no longer withstand the shock...
**[15:08] ---**
...and self-destructs.
**[15:10] ---**
If it travels at ultra-high speed,
**[15:12] ---**
the body could break down
into the invisible particle level...
**[15:15] ---**
But no, once a person splits apart,
how would they come back together?
**[15:19] ---**
But then, Commander Sho is
doing something as ridiculous
**[15:22] ---**
as cooling the universe, isn't he?
**[15:24] ---**
If they can affect all things,
**[15:26] ---**
then returning a divided body back
the way it was is theoretically...
**[15:31] ---**
Who is this Evangelist who can
make these things happen?!
**[15:37] ---**
Here I come.
**[15:38] ---**
I'll dilate the universe before he moves--
**[15:47] ---**
I haven't quite got control
of this down yet, huh?
**[15:52] ---**
Commander Sho didn't react.
**[15:55] ---**
Could Shinra-*kun* have moved at him
faster than the speed of light?
**[15:59] ---**
If a body exceeds the speed of light,
it would send time backward.
**[16:03] ---**
Maybe after he splits,
**[16:05] ---**
his hyper speed reverts his
own body back to before it split?
**[16:12] ---**
But if he moves about at that speed,
it would create a black hole!
**[16:19] ---**
And if that happened, forget the Nether,
**[16:22] ---**
all of the Tokyo Empire would be wiped out!
**[16:26] ---**
Should I tell him?
**[16:28] ---**
Of course Shinra-*kun* isn't aware of this.
**[16:31] ---**
No... I'll be able to witness it.
This is a scientist's dream!
**[16:38] ---**
I'm starting to get the hang of this.
**[16:39] ---**
You'd better dodge this
one, or you'll be "it."
**[16:48] ---**
As long as I stop you before
you move, it's not a problem.
**[16:51] ---**
I'm a bit surprised that you
could force an Adolla Link,
**[16:56] ---**
but it isn't a big deal.
**[16:58] ---**
You've managed to let me
stave off some boredom.
**[17:08] ---**
He's entered the motionless world.
**[17:11] ---**
Oh, I hit you!
**[17:14] ---**
How can this be? How did he
come into a stopped world?
**[17:19] ---**
And with an Adolla Burst that
lacks the Evangelist's grace?
**[17:22] ---**
It's the same as those times with
Lieutenant Konro and Dr. Giovanni.
**[17:26] ---**
If my feelings are strong enough,
I can connect with you, Sho.
**[17:30] ---**
You and the Evangelist are connected, right?
**[17:33] ---**
So, once I connect to you,
I'm connected to the Evangelist, too.
**[17:38] ---**
You're saying you attained
the Evangelist's grace through me?
**[17:44] ---**
It's finally happening, Haumea!
**[17:46] ---**
Mm-hmm.
**[17:47] ---**
The stirring of the Adolla Burst
via an Adolla Link with the Evangelist.
**[17:51] ---**
One might call it... the awakening
of a fourth generation.
**[17:55] ---**
While Commander Sho can control
the universe's thermal expansion to stop time,
**[18:00] ---**
Shinra-*kun* stops time by moving
at faster-than-light speed.
**[18:05] ---**
So our times are the same?
**[18:08] ---**
Bring it on.
**[18:27] ---**
I'm keeping my promise to Mom.
I'm going to bring Sho back.
**[18:32] ---**
I've finally met up with him.
**[18:35] ---**
I am going to catch him!
**[18:57] ---**
I haven't got a clue what's happening.
Haumea, can you see?
**[19:02] ---**
Hmm... more or less.
**[19:05] ---**
I wonder, for every word
or two that we exchange,
**[19:08] ---**
how much are they fighting?
**[19:10] ---**
Not even I, who isn't human, can tell.
**[19:15] ---**
Which one of us was the
last one to touch the other?
**[19:18] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[19:20] ---**
Our game of tag. Which one of us is "it"?
**[19:25] ---**
What nonsense.
**[19:30] ---**
Why are you so obsessed with me?!
I am not your little brother!
**[19:35] ---**
What are you getting so
agitated for? Rebellious phase?
**[19:39] ---**
Don't you show up out of nowhere
and play at being my brother!
**[19:45] ---**
Hey, you, over here!
Follow the sound of my clapping!
**[19:52] ---**
Oh, has your speed started to drop off?
**[19:54] ---**
Shut up. I can keep going.
**[20:04] ---**
Looks like you're close to being overheated.
**[20:10] ---**
It's over. You're coming with me to
the Evangelist. Your flame is needed.
**[20:22] ---**
Damn...
**[20:25] ---**
Shinra-*kun*! This is bad!
Don't fight him anymore! Stop!
**[20:28] ---**
If you get overheated while using your ability,
there's no undoing the damage!
**[20:35] ---**
Listen to me, Shinra-*kun*! Every time
you stop time, you split your body apart!
**[20:40] ---**
In other words, you're dead!
**[20:42] ---**
Dead, you say?
**[20:45] ---**
Your ability uses your flames to
accelerate you to light speed, and stop time.
**[20:51] ---**
The shock of that happening breaks
your body down to subatomic particles!
**[20:55] ---**
Accelerating even more,
beyond the speed of light,
**[20:57] ---**
causes time to run backward!
**[21:00] ---**
Then your body goes back to the way it was!
**[21:03] ---**
If you get overheated in the middle of that,
**[21:05] ---**
you'll atomize and die,
and might not be able to come back!
**[21:09] ---**
I won't be able to come back?
**[21:13] ---**
What's so funny? You're turning my stomach.
**[21:18] ---**
Back off. It's a nervous tic.
**[21:26] ---**
No, it's not. I'm not smiling out of fear.
**[21:31] ---**
I'm happy to be playing with you, Sho.
**[21:38] ---**
Stop coming in like it's nothing.
It disgusts me.
**[21:44] ---**
No, Shinra-*kun*! You won't be
able to come back this time!
**[21:47] ---**
Yes I will!
**[21:50] ---**
I'm not leaving Sho by himself anymore!
**[21:56] ---**
If I leave and leave Sho behind again,
then I'm a failure as a brother!

**[00:08] ---**
As the world was being covered in ash,
one man appeared.
**[00:13] ---**
He would be later be called Raffles I.
**[00:17] ---**
Raffles took his disciples and
left on a journey in search of light.
**[00:22] ---**
At the end of his journey,
he found an "unsullied flame,"
**[00:26] ---**
and brought forth the light that
would be mankind's salvation.
**[00:43] ---**
Here I come, Sho!
**[00:44] ---**
Stop playing at being my brother!
**[00:51] ---**
This is unpleasant. Why do you persist?
**[00:54] ---**
You have no memories of me, either, do you?
**[00:56] ---**
Yes, your face! When you were
a baby, Sho, you'd laugh, and cry,
**[01:00] ---**
and act a lot more human!
**[01:06] ---**
Was that too dark? It's all right now.
Your big brother helped you out.
**[01:12] ---**
That was your memory.
What an unpleasant vision.
**[01:17] ---**
Stop coming in uninvited!
**[01:18] ---**
We used to be brothers!
**[01:20] ---**
Stop!
**[01:21] ---**
No way!
**[01:23] ---**
Not until I get the real you back!
**[01:28] ---**
Accelerate...
**[01:30] ---**
...back to the time when we were brothers...
**[01:33] ---**
...and take hold of it!
**[01:43] ---**
You're the devil. Devil!
**[01:45] ---**
You disgust me.
**[01:46] ---**
Just look at his face. When his family died,
**[01:51] ---**
word is that's the way he smiled.
**[01:55] ---**
These are Shinra Kusakabe's memories?
**[02:02] ---**
Just hold on.
**[02:03] ---**
Shinra Kusakabe's memories
are flowing into my head.
**[02:15] ---**
Frankly,
**[02:16] ---**
I don't know what kind of feelings
I'll have when I see you, Sho.
**[02:21] ---**
Even so, the promise I made Mom
**[02:24] ---**
is the bond that keeps our family together!
**[02:29] ---**
Promises... Bonds...
**[02:32] ---**
What do those things even mean?
**[02:36] ---**
You're right. The promise I made
to Mom is important to me,
**[02:40] ---**
but now that I'm seeing you like this...
**[02:43] ---**
...the promise doesn't have
anything to do with it.
**[02:46] ---**
Whatever the case, it doesn't matter to me.
**[02:50] ---**
Are you sure?
**[02:58] ---**
Look, Kusakabe is here.
**[03:00] ---**
Mother-killer.
**[03:02] ---**
I heard he killed his baby brother, too.
**[03:04] ---**
Huh? How?
**[03:06] ---**
He burned him up. What is he, a devil?
**[03:09] ---**
It wasn't me. Someone was there...
during the fire...
**[03:14] ---**
Someone besides Mom and Sho.
**[03:18] ---**
I'm going to find him... and I swear,
no matter what, I'll tear him a new one!
**[03:23] ---**
Did you see his face just now?
**[03:25] ---**
He's the devil.
**[03:26] ---**
Leave me alone. Ever since the fire,
I get that nervous smile.
**[03:32] ---**
I killed Sho?
**[03:35] ---**
I'm not the devil!
**[03:39] ---**
I'd sure like to see you again...
**[03:42] ---**
Mom... Sho...
**[03:47] ---**
What is the point of
showing me these memories?
**[03:50] ---**
I am not your brother!
**[03:55] ---**
You and I are the same.
**[03:58] ---**
How is it that when we were little,
we were able to smile,
**[04:01] ---**
but now, neither of can openly do so anymore?
**[04:04] ---**
I don't have a past. I don't *need* a past.
**[04:24] ---**
Is this memory... one which I've lost?
**[04:28] ---**
Twelve years ago, we were a family.
**[04:33] ---**
Mom, and you, and me.
**[04:39] ---**
Up until that fire broke out,
**[04:41] ---**
you and I both could smile
without having to think about it.
**[04:46] ---**
We just merrily smiled, every day, with Mom...
**[04:49] ---**
...and we were happy.
**[04:52] ---**
We were brothers, and we were a family.
**[04:56] ---**
Sho...
**[04:57] ---**
Shinra...
**[05:00] ---**
I love you.
**[05:03] ---**
This woman... is our mother...?
**[05:07] ---**
Mom, what are you making?
**[05:09] ---**
Hamburger.
**[05:11] ---**
Hooray!
**[05:14] ---**
I'm washing my hands now, just hold on, okay?
**[05:17] ---**
Let me handle it, Mom. I'll go help him.
**[05:20] ---**
I'm coming, Sho!
**[05:24] ---**
Are you okay? Your big brother
is here, so don't you worry.
**[05:30] ---**
The wind must have blown that on you.
**[05:33] ---**
Sorry, sorry. I'll get that for you right now.
**[05:39] ---**
Dark... Scary... Help...
**[05:47] ---**
The light...
**[05:50] ---**
Was that too dark? It's all right now.
Your big brother helped you out.
**[05:57] ---**
Stop crying, now. Your big brother is a hero.
**[06:04] ---**
See? Don't worry. Your big brother
will always be in your corner.
**[06:22] ---**
You were in the dark a long time, huh?
**[06:24] ---**
I'm sorry for leaving you
by yourself for so long.
**[06:32] ---**
Let's get out of this place,
and go someplace more bright.
**[06:36] ---**
I'll take you there.
**[06:39] ---**
This man is... my brother...
**[06:44] ---**
Let's go home.
**[06:46] ---**
"Episode 23:
Smiles"
**[06:55] ---**
Ah! Shinra-*kun*!
**[07:04] ---**
Sho, this isn't your fault...
**[07:12] ---**
Haumea!
**[07:13] ---**
Hi-dee 'lo.
**[08:47] ---**
Oh, my. It looks like he
couldn't control his speed,
**[08:50] ---**
and ended up stabbing himself.
**[08:53] ---**
Shinra Kusakabe bears an Adolla Burst.
**[08:56] ---**
We can't have him dying on us.
I will withdraw with him.
**[09:02] ---**
This is bad! Another enemy has shown up!
**[09:05] ---**
Who the hell are you? You're the ones
who abducted Sho, aren't you?
**[09:13] ---**
What do you plan to do after
you collect your Adolla Bursts?
**[09:17] ---**
The Great Cataclysm, 250 years ago,
seems to have been a misfire.
**[09:22] ---**
By gathering Adolla Bursts, we're going to
kick-start the Great Cataclysm again!
**[09:28] ---**
That's why we're using bugs
to create pyrokinetics,
**[09:31] ---**
and searching for Adolla Bursts!
**[09:34] ---**
Also, we need you and Sho to do that!
**[09:36] ---**
Hey! Why are you telling him?!
**[09:39] ---**
Whoops...
**[09:40] ---**
Who cares? Even if they know,
there's no way they can stop us.
**[09:45] ---**
Now then, let's claim Shinra Kusakabe.
**[09:50] ---**
Oh? Sho, is something wrong?
**[09:53] ---**
First, tell me what happened 12 years ago.
**[09:56] ---**
Who can say? I'm a sucker for forceful men,
**[10:00] ---**
so why don't you beat it out of me?
**[10:02] ---**
Stop screwing around.
**[10:03] ---**
Come on, out of the way.
**[10:05] ---**
Severed Universe.
**[10:08] ---**
Oh? Is something the matter?
**[10:10] ---**
Time isn't stopping. My Link has been cut.
**[10:19] ---**
Sho!
**[10:24] ---**
Sho!
**[10:34] ---**
What have you done?!
**[10:37] ---**
What do you know? You're still pretty lively,
aren't you? Amazing, amazing!
**[10:42] ---**
Okay, why don't we get going, too?
**[10:45] ---**
Sh-Shinra-*kun*!
**[10:49] ---**
What the hey?
**[10:56] ---**
I was trying for her head, but got deflected.
**[10:59] ---**
Arthur... Lieutenant...
**[11:06] ---**
*I'm* going to be the one to put you down, Devil!
**[11:09] ---**
No dying on me in here!
**[11:11] ---**
Some uninvited intruders have turned up. Man...
**[11:16] ---**
Arthur, she uses some kind of strange technique.
**[11:22] ---**
You keep quiet. Don't talk. Hush up.
**[11:26] ---**
Now, you're in my way. Move. Move it.
**[11:30] ---**
Hmm?
**[11:33] ---**
Huh? It didn't work.
**[11:35] ---**
What a load. A scare technique? Come at me.
**[11:39] ---**
Plasma... Must be interfering
with my electric signal.
**[11:44] ---**
Ah! You're a pain-in-the-ass opponent!
**[11:48] ---**
Haumea! We're out of time! We have to go!
**[11:51] ---**
Yeah! I know! It'll only take
a moment to crush these guys!
**[11:56] ---**
Now what is it?
**[11:59] ---**
My Tekkyo...
**[12:01] ---**
Did the electrical system short out?
**[12:05] ---**
Help Shinra while I keep her at bay!
**[12:07] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[12:09] ---**
Lieutenant!
**[12:11] ---**
Bah! Plasma!
**[12:13] ---**
That plasma is getting my wires crossed,
and I can't reach their nerves!
**[12:18] ---**
Damn that plasma-user!
**[12:20] ---**
He's a real pain in the ass.
**[12:29] ---**
Shinra, you're going to be okay now.
**[12:34] ---**
Oh! The earthquake is starting.
**[12:39] ---**
This tremor...
**[12:40] ---**
It's shaking in the creepiest way...
**[12:42] ---**
It is the doing of the Evangelist!
**[12:46] ---**
We're out of time, Haumea!
**[12:48] ---**
See you later, if you survive.
**[12:52] ---**
Sho...
**[12:55] ---**
--Wait! Give Sho back!
**[12:57] ---**
--No! Don't move!
--Wait! Give Sho back!
**[13:03] ---**
We're getting out of here, too!
**[13:34] ---**
It's still shaking.
**[13:36] ---**
This is going on much too long.
**[13:38] ---**
She said it was the Evangelist's doing.
What are they up to?
**[13:46] ---**
Sh-Sho is...
**[13:48] ---**
Shinra, right now, you just hold on tight!
**[13:52] ---**
If you survive, you can see your brother again!
**[13:57] ---**
To the emergency room?
**[13:59] ---**
Good idea. Let's call on our colleague.
**[14:02] ---**
When it comes to treating pyrokinetics,
no one can beat her.
**[14:16] ---**
"Special Fire Hospital 6"
**[14:18] ---**
Director Huang!
**[14:20] ---**
Director Kayoko Huang!
***SIGN*** "Lieutenant" "Second-generation pyrokinetic" "Asako Hague"
**[14:26] ---**
Emergency!
**[14:27] ---**
What is it, Lieutenant Hague?
***SIGN*** "Captain" "Third-generation pyrokinetic" "Kayoko Huang"
**[14:40] ---**
Captain Huang, my gratitude.
I have a gravely injured crewman.
**[14:44] ---**
We were informed by the empire.
**[14:47] ---**
Was he injured during that
underground operation?
**[14:49] ---**
Yes.
**[14:51] ---**
How did the Nether investigation go?
**[14:54] ---**
Any guesses what's causing
that incessant quaking?
**[14:57] ---**
Are you sure the great Sol isn't mad at the 8th
**[14:59] ---**
for violating the forbidden Nether?
**[15:02] ---**
That isn't it. It turns out
this "Evangelist" and the White-Clad
**[15:07] ---**
have been creating man-made Infernals.
**[15:10] ---**
They're looking for those
who possess Adolla Bursts,
**[15:12] ---**
flames that come from the underworld Adolla,
**[15:15] ---**
in order to destroy the world.
**[15:19] ---**
I'll ask you all about it later.
**[15:23] ---**
Captain Huang...
**[15:25] ---**
...can you fix up Shinra?
**[15:30] ---**
Honestly, it will be tough. Maybe if
the patient has enough strength left...
**[15:35] ---**
And even if we do save his life,
the worst-case scenario
**[15:38] ---**
is that he'll suffer lasting effects,
such as being paralyzed.
**[15:43] ---**
Patient is a third generation,
and possesses an Adolla Burst, you say?
**[15:47] ---**
Yes.
**[15:48] ---**
I have never come into contact with
the sacred flame known as an Adolla Burst.
**[15:54] ---**
There is no telling what may happen.
**[15:57] ---**
He's my valued crewman. Captain Huang...
**[16:02] ---**
...please do your best.
**[16:06] ---**
I'll try. I'll do everything I can.
**[16:10] ---**
"Operating"
**[16:16] ---**
O Sol, please grant Shinra-*san*
the light of life.
**[16:24] ---**
Extraction of the sword successful.
His vitals have stabilized, too.
**[16:30] ---**
Now I have to treat him with my ability.
Then again, with a wound like this...
**[16:34] ---**
I'm not sure my ability alone can heal it.
**[16:37] ---**
It rests with the strength
of his flame, as well.
**[16:45] ---**
Here goes.
**[16:47] ---**
Now beginning the final operation
on patient Shinra Kusakabe.

**[17:01] ---**
Serpent, revitalize him!
**[17:11] ---**
It's been an hour since the operation started.
**[17:14] ---**
Where are the others?
**[17:15] ---**
The sister went to pray for Kusakabe.
**[17:19] ---**
Lieutenant Hinawa is also being treated,
**[17:21] ---**
and Investigator Licht is investigating.
**[17:24] ---**
What about Vulcan?
**[17:25] ---**
He's with Lisa-*san*.
**[17:28] ---**
Apparently, Lisa-*san* is an emotional wreck.
**[17:35] ---**
So is the 6th a hospital?
What kind of company is this?
**[17:39] ---**
You really don't know anything, huh?
**[17:42] ---**
You're aware that all medical
treatment in the empire
**[17:44] ---**
are rites that can only be performed
by the Holy Sol Temple, right?
**[17:48] ---**
You see, like the 1st, the 6th is
an entity of the Holy Sol Temple,
**[17:53] ---**
and is the company that
specializes in medical treatment.
**[17:55] ---**
Uh-huh. So that means this is
a Holy Sol Temple. One that's a hospital.
**[18:02] ---**
It's a Special Fire Force Company!
**[18:04] ---**
I hear that no one is better than
the 6th's Captain Huang
**[18:07] ---**
when it comes to treating pyrokinetics.
**[18:10] ---**
Word is that she uses
a unique ability to heal them.
**[18:15] ---**
Is there something special about
Captain Huang's treatment?
**[18:19] ---**
Apparently, her ability
controls a flaming serpent
**[18:22] ---**
that treats injuries, illnesses,
and all sorts of symptoms.
**[18:26] ---**
When the patient is a pyrokinetic,
it also makes use of their flame
**[18:30] ---**
to instantly relieve them of their suffering.
**[18:36] ---**
It's a pretty flame.
**[18:38] ---**
At this rate, there should be no problem at all.
**[18:41] ---**
This Adolla Burst is incredible.
**[18:45] ---**
He's used up all of his flame regenerating,
**[18:48] ---**
so it may be a few days before he wakes up.
**[18:51] ---**
"Operating"
**[18:55] ---**
It's been three days.
**[18:58] ---**
It's clear out.
**[19:00] ---**
I'm awake.
**[19:04] ---**
I'm sure hungry. I want some rice.
**[19:11] ---**
What happened to Sho?
I managed to save him, but...
**[19:16] ---**
Has he gone back to the Evangelist again?
**[19:26] ---**
I should be looking at
this sky with my brother...
**[19:34] ---**
Damn it!
**[19:35] ---**
Impressive. You're awake,
just like Captain Huang predicted.
**[19:41] ---**
Must be the light from the sun,
but you don't even look that pale.
**[19:47] ---**
That being said, you're still
on the mend. At ease.
**[19:52] ---**
I'm just glad you're all right.
**[19:54] ---**
Captain Burns? What are you doing here, sir?
**[19:58] ---**
I came to check up on you.
**[20:00] ---**
Check up? You came here for
a second class Fire Soldier from the 8th?
**[20:07] ---**
Am I putting you out?
**[20:09] ---**
No, sir.
**[20:10] ---**
If you're up to it, how about
a little check-up visit chat?
**[20:17] ---**
About that fire that happened 12 years ago.
**[20:25] ---**
Get dressed. How about we
take in some of the air outside
**[20:28] ---**
while you have some rice?
**[20:41] ---**
Are you a big eater?
**[20:43] ---**
Yes, sir, more than usual.
**[20:46] ---**
You sure have grown up.
**[20:50] ---**
You've known who I was for
the last 12 years, haven't you?
**[20:56] ---**
You really were the Fire Soldier
who was there at the time.
**[21:00] ---**
You knew everything, sir?
**[21:02] ---**
Yeah. If I had been the one who
reported the truth of that fire,
**[21:07] ---**
you wouldn't have had to bear the stigma
of killing your mom and brother.
**[21:10] ---**
I don't care what happened to me!
**[21:12] ---**
Captain Burns, did you know
that Sho was still alive, too?
**[21:16] ---**
Yeah... I knew.
**[21:18] ---**
Then, did you know he had been
taken away to the Evangelist, too, sir?
**[21:23] ---**
Yeah... I knew.
**[21:26] ---**
Why didn't you help him?!
**[21:29] ---**
Why didn't you say anything to me?
**[21:31] ---**
If I'd known, I wouldn't have left Sho
in that darkness for 12 years!
**[21:38] ---**
After 12 years, you're all grown up,
and you still nearly died, so if I *had* told you,
**[21:43] ---**
what do you think you could have done?
**[21:46] ---**
This was a fluke. I'm not the same
as I was when we first sparred.
**[21:51] ---**
I'm not so sure. The fluke is that you survived.
**[21:55] ---**
If you're really not the same, then show me.
**[21:59] ---**
Come at me.
**[22:01] ---**

**[00:10] ---**
Raffles and his disciples used the flame
bestowed by the great Sol
**[00:14] ---**
and the technology cultivated
by mankind to create "Amaterasu."
**[00:20] ---**
The sacred flame of Amaterasu
benefits the lives of mankind,
**[00:25] ---**
and ended up establishing the foundation
of a state in the Far East.
**[00:49] ---**
"Fire Force"
**[00:52] ---**
I'm glad to see you're feeling better.
**[00:55] ---**
Yeah.
**[00:56] ---**
Without you around, Arthur tends to
go off, and be a real pain.
**[01:01] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:02] ---**
That jerk tried to dispose of some
piled-up documents with Excalibur.
**[01:08] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:11] ---**
Say something other than "yeah," Devil.
**[01:14] ---**
Yeah, okay.
**[01:20] ---**
Listen...
**[01:22] ---**
Don't do that in front of
the sister and Maki-*san*, okay?
**[01:28] ---**
You'll just make them worry again.
**[01:30] ---**
I know you've got your brother
and stuff on your mind,
**[01:33] ---**
but you aren't all alone.
**[01:36] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:38] ---**
Well, thinking about it too hard
won't help. Not your strong suit.
**[01:42] ---**
Oh, shut up.
**[01:44] ---**
Come to think of it, Tamaki's there, too.
**[01:45] ---**
Yeah. Toss in the cat girl, too.
**[02:10] ---**
I'm glad you got out of the hospital okay.
**[02:13] ---**
Sorry to worry you.
**[02:17] ---**
Is everything the same with the others?
**[02:19] ---**
Yes.
**[02:20] ---**
They're all quite well.
**[02:25] ---**
"No running in the halls!!"
"Special Fire Force Company 8"
**[02:27] ---**
Shinra, congratulations on being discharged.
**[02:30] ---**
I'm sorry I couldn't come in person!
**[02:32] ---**
I was worried about you.
**[02:34] ---**
Oh, that's okay. You had to be
standing by in case of a callout.
**[02:43] ---**
Welcome back, Shinra.
Glad to see the Adolla Burst is safe.
**[02:48] ---**
Nothing that happens seems to kill him.
Such a problem devil...
**[02:55] ---**
Yo, Devil. Looks like you
didn't get into heaven.
**[03:00] ---**
What about you? Still haven't gone
completely rotten, you oniony bastard?
**[03:07] ---**
Good to have you back, Shinra.
**[03:10] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:11] ---**
I'd like you to compile the incident reports
on the Nether right away,
**[03:15] ---**
but your report to the captain comes first.
**[03:20] ---**
Congratulations on getting out, Shinra.
**[03:24] ---**
Second Class Fire Soldier Shinra Kusakabe
**[03:27] ---**
returning to duty as of this date.
**[05:00] ---**
"Several weeks earlier"
**[05:03] ---**
How has the 6th been recently?
**[05:06] ---**
Doing just fine, sir.
We have Captain Huang, after all.
**[05:10] ---**
Things are nice and quiet--
**[05:13] ---**
What the...?!
**[05:19] ---**
Ho, so this is the light-speed you've
attained by receiving grace, is it?
**[05:30] ---**
Kusakabe-*san*! You should be on
strict bed rest! Go back to your bed!
**[05:36] ---**
Let them finish this. You're not
going to be able to stop them.
**[05:41] ---**
Burns is an old-fashioned hard-head.
**[05:45] ---**
Heavy-handed interchange is all he knows.
**[05:49] ---**
He's provoked by the young lad's growth,
and simmering on the inside.
**[05:54] ---**
Why didn't you tell me?!
**[06:00] ---**
Whatever your reasons were, I don't accept them!
**[06:03] ---**
Fire Soldiers have ambition.
We can't act on personal feelings.
**[06:09] ---**
Stand back.
**[06:13] ---**
Looks like he's getting warmed up.
**[06:27] ---**
Feels like I could get crushed
just getting near him.
**[06:29] ---**
By stoking his internal flame
**[06:31] ---**
and circulating the heat energy
produced by it throughout his body,
**[06:35] ---**
he can exhibit a tremendous physical ability.
**[06:38] ---**
Burns' body becomes an
enormous mass of heat energy,
**[06:41] ---**
which could rightly be called
an embodiment of flame.
**[06:45] ---**
Those who are weak lose their lives.
**[06:48] ---**
That's why I couldn't afford
to tell you the truth.
**[06:51] ---**
If you want to know,
then convince me by showing me
**[06:54] ---**
that you're strong enough to hear it.
**[06:56] ---**
Huh?!
**[06:58] ---**
Captain Burns, you came here to tell me
what happened 12 years ago!
**[07:02] ---**
Quit screwing around!
**[07:04] ---**
What's wrong? Don't think you can do it?
**[07:06] ---**
No, you damn...
**[07:11] ---**
...liar!
**[07:14] ---**
He just called a superior officer
a damn liar, didn't he?
**[07:17] ---**
He held back as hard as he could, though.
**[07:22] ---**
Okay... You got it.
**[07:26] ---**
I'm going to show you that I'm
not as fragile as you think I am.
**[07:47] ---**
All I could save was this one,
vulnerable little life.
**[07:53] ---**
I'll take him down... I'll take him down...
**[07:55] ---**
That jerk is gonna pay... He's going down.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm surprised you grew up this big and strong.
**[08:06] ---**
You're going to tell me, whatever it takes!
**[08:11] ---**
Is that all the resolve you have?
**[08:14] ---**
No better than a candle flame.
**[08:17] ---**
Don't mock me.
**[08:20] ---**
I've got more than this!
**[08:37] ---**
You're sure you won't regret
anything I tell you?!
**[08:40] ---**
As much as I hated flames,
I became a Fire Soldier...
**[08:43] ---**
...so I could learn the truth!
**[08:57] ---**
Imagine, that tiny little flame...
**[09:01] ---**
...growing to be as big as this...
**[09:05] ---**
It's been a long time. My arm stings
from where you hit me.
**[09:10] ---**
You've gotten strong.
**[09:14] ---**
You've made your resolve known.
Very well, I'll tell you everything.
**[09:19] ---**
What you know about that fire is not the truth.
**[09:24] ---**
The group under the Evangelist
that you fought...
**[09:28] ---**
"Episode 24:
The Burning Past"
**[09:29] ---**
...was already active 12 years ago.
**[09:31] ---**
"Solar Year 198"
**[09:40] ---**
Do you sense anything?
**[09:42] ---**
The Evangelist said this was the area, right?
**[09:45] ---**
A new Adolla Burst is going to be born.
**[09:53] ---**
Aw, yeah!
**[09:54] ---**
"Evangelist's Subordinate: Haumea"
**[09:57] ---**
The Evangelist knew ahead of time
that there would be a fire.
**[10:01] ---**
Then the Evangelist and company really did...
**[10:05] ---**
The cause of that fire was
quite clear. It wasn't you.
**[10:09] ---**
That's right! There was a demon Infernal there!
**[10:14] ---**
"Evangelist's Subordinate: Haumea"
**[10:15] ---**
We welcome you, third one.
**[10:23] ---**
Sho!
**[10:29] ---**
Shinra!
**[10:29] ---**
Hurry! Run away! Hurry!
**[10:36] ---**
Hurry... Shinra... Run away...
**[10:50] ---**
A demon...?
**[11:02] ---**
Sho! Sho!
**[11:05] ---**
The source of that fire 12 years ago...
**[11:10] ---**
...was your younger brother, Sho.
**[11:14] ---**
Sho! Sho!
**[11:17] ---**
It was the effect of Sho's Adolla Burst
**[11:19] ---**
that evoked your third-generation abilities.
**[11:36] ---**
You understand the reason why
we are blindfolded, right?
**[11:40] ---**
Well, of course.
**[11:42] ---**
If we look directly at the sun,
we'll burn our eyes.
**[11:46] ---**
Though the sun shineth,
the children of men see it not;
**[11:49] ---**
if thou desirest to draw nigh
unto the celestial world,
**[11:52] ---**
simply feel it in thy heart.
**[12:11] ---**
The horned Infernal that you said you saw was...
**[12:16] ---**
Mom...?
**[12:22] ---**
It can't be... I've come all this way just to
find that Infernal... and destroy it...
**[12:46] ---**
The cause of the fire was Sho,
and the demon Infernal I saw was my mom...
**[12:52] ---**
In that case, whatever happened to my mom?
**[12:57] ---**
I arrived on the fire scene
15 minutes after it started.
**[13:03] ---**
Where are the survivors inside?
Why aren't they doing anything to put it out?!
**[13:07] ---**
There's something strange about this fire!
**[13:09] ---**
The water isn't knocking it down at all!
**[13:14] ---**
Start fighting the fire again!
**[13:16] ---**
Those of you who are third generation
and can tolerate the flames, with me!
**[13:20] ---**
We're charging in there
and identifying any survivors!
**[13:29] ---**
Three, two, one!
**[13:36] ---**
A survivor!
**[13:37] ---**
Get a paramedic!
**[13:39] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[13:41] ---**
Let me go! My mom and Sho
are still inside there!
**[13:45] ---**
There's a bad demon close by!
**[13:47] ---**
--It's too dangerous! Take it easy!
**[13:48] ---**
--Burns...
--It's too dangerous! Take it easy!
**[13:48] ---**
--Burns...
--Sho! Mom! Let me go! Sho! Mom!
**[13:49] ---**
--An inextinguishable fire... A demon...
Nothing feels right about this.
--Sho! Mom! Let me go! Sho! Mom!
**[13:55] ---**
I'm going in!
**[13:59] ---**
The body set up to look like
the mother is in place.
**[14:02] ---**
Haumea, how about it? Are you in control?
**[14:07] ---**
Haumea. Talk to me, Haumea. Have you done it?
**[14:13] ---**
Hey, Haumea!
**[14:16] ---**
Haumea!
**[14:17] ---**
Shut your trap, Charon! I'm doing it now!
**[14:20] ---**
Get lost if you're gonna
disturb me! I'll kill you!
**[14:23] ---**
If you could hear me, answer.
**[14:26] ---**
Huh? If I answer you, are you gonna
help me? No, you can't!
**[14:30] ---**
So shut your stupid face
and go flap in the wind!
**[14:34] ---**
Okay, my bad... My bad...
**[14:41] ---**
She's terrifying.
**[14:46] ---**
Given the situation, things are already...
**[14:59] ---**
A demon and baby...!
**[15:04] ---**
Bring the baby and come here.
**[15:07] ---**
Hold it!
**[15:09] ---**
Burns! It's coming down! Get out of there!
**[15:12] ---**
The Infernal...!
**[15:15] ---**
Hurry!
**[15:16] ---**
Watch your head!
**[15:39] ---**
A demon Infernal... An Adolla Burst...
**[15:43] ---**
An Adolla Link...
**[15:45] ---**
The flame in my right eye isn't subsiding.
**[15:48] ---**
Just like when I previously saw the light
in the other world and it burned away.
**[15:52] ---**
Mom! Sho!
**[15:54] ---**
Watch it! Don't go near there!
**[15:56] ---**
They didn't go after that boy.
**[15:59] ---**
His abilities have been awakened.
Still, his flames are yet weak.
**[16:04] ---**
Burns...
**[16:05] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:12] ---**
Listen closely to me.
**[16:15] ---**
Your mother is dead.
**[16:20] ---**
So is your brother.
**[16:29] ---**
Why did you lie to me?
**[16:32] ---**
To keep you out of it. They might have
come after you at some point, too.
**[16:39] ---**
I told you that lie so that
you'd fear and hate flames.
**[16:43] ---**
I thought that if you were afraid of flames,
**[16:45] ---**
you'd avoid using your pyrokinetic abilities
and stay out of this world.
**[16:51] ---**
I *do* hate them, even now.
Whatever the facts may be,
**[16:55] ---**
flames have taken everything
away from my family.
**[16:59] ---**
Flames have derailed everything.
There's no way I could ever like them.
**[17:05] ---**
Still, you used your flames
to come as far as you have.
**[17:13] ---**
I've accomplished my reason for coming today.
**[17:16] ---**
Please wait, sir.
**[17:19] ---**
Captain Burns, did you know about
the Adolla Link when you saw into that hell?
**[17:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:25] ---**
My right eye is the price I paid
for seeing the flames of hell.
**[17:29] ---**
Was that demon 12 years ago an Infernal
with horns growing out of its eyes?
**[17:34] ---**
Yes, it was.
**[17:36] ---**
Then that demon probably was Mom...
**[17:41] ---**
Where did my mom go, sir?
**[17:45] ---**
I never saw her after that.
**[17:53] ---**
By using the Adolla Link,
I can once again see that Infernal.
**[17:59] ---**
I can see Mom again...
**[18:01] ---**
But how do I Link again?
**[18:05] ---**
That man might know something.
**[18:09] ---**
Kusakabe-*san*,
**[18:10] ---**
please go back to your bed, now.
**[18:18] ---**
--You look like him!
--What?
**[18:21] ---**
I look like him?
**[18:22] ---**
Um, Lieutenant Hague...
**[18:25] ---**
Yes?
**[18:26] ---**
Lieutenant Hague, are you and the 4th's...?
**[18:29] ---**
Ah, yes. Captain Soichiro Hague
of the 4th is my grandfather.
**[18:36] ---**
Huh? Why? Do I really look like him?
**[18:40] ---**
Oh, no! You just remind me of him
symbolically, is all. You're fine!
**[18:45] ---**
I'm fine?
**[18:49] ---**
Listen, would it be possible for me
to meet with Captain Hague?
**[18:53] ---**
With the captain, you say?
**[19:00] ---**
That is my report.
**[19:03] ---**
You think that the Adolla Link and Captain Hague
may be somehow connected?
**[19:08] ---**
Yes, sir. In order to verify that,
I asked his blood relative,
**[19:12] ---**
Lieutenant Asako Hague of the 6th, to help me.
**[19:16] ---**
I was just thinking of contacting
the chief of the Fire Defense Agency.
**[19:22] ---**
Let's try reaching out from this end, as well.
**[19:25] ---**
But...
**[19:26] ---**
...if we assume that
Captain Burns' story is true,
**[19:30] ---**
it means that the Evangelist's group
was involved in the incident with your family.
**[19:35] ---**
It's not so easy to believe that
the demon I thought was my enemy
**[19:39] ---**
turned out to actually be my mom.
**[19:42] ---**
But I also thought Sho was dead,
when in fact, he's still alive.
**[19:46] ---**
If...
**[19:47] ---**
...your mother has become an Infernal,
and is still alive...
**[19:53] ---**
I will find a way to turn an Infernal
back into a person.
**[19:57] ---**

*Look at the imaginations in my head*
*and I'll go back to myself*
**[20:10] ---**
*Forcing right decisions on me*
*is like a devil that eats me up*
**[20:27] ---**
*He that used his claws on me*
**[20:29] ---**
*Uses the same claws to defend someone else*
**[20:32] ---**
*Weapons turn into both wounds and shields*
**[20:34] ---**
*Isn't that what life's about?*
**[20:38] ---**
*A secret known to none*
**[20:39] ---**
*For so long almost seems to disappear*
*but never does*
**[20:43] ---**
*Been holding on to it*
**[20:45] ---**
*While spending a night in the fire*
**[20:48] ---**
*The more they're attracted,*
*the more the ignorant laugh*
**[20:50] ---**
*What used to make up the universe*
*until yesterday takes the helm*
**[20:53] ---**
*The entire range of emotions that breathes*
**[20:56] ---**
*Don't want to take away*
*what I haven't even experienced*
**[21:00] ---**
*Look at the imaginations in my head*
*and I'll go back to myself*
**[21:06] ---**
*Forcing right decisions on me*
*is like a devil that eats me up*
**[21:12] ---**
*Don't get in my way anymore*
**[21:16] ---**
*I won't be killed by your ideals*
**[21:35] ---**
What a dump.
**[21:40] ---**
"Shinra, congratulations on your discharge"
**[21:51] ---**
Don't feel bad. Those who aren't knights
find it harder to use swords.
**[21:57] ---**
Screw you, you oniony bastard!
**[22:00] ---**
--I'll definitely cut this faster than him!
--I'll definitely cut this faster than him!
**[22:03] ---**
Take it easy.
**[22:06] ---**
--Ah!

Gravel just needs to behave like gravel.
**[22:24] ---**
Lieutenant Karim!
**[22:26] ---**
Hm? Oh, Tamaki! What a relief
to see you reveling in the revelry.
**[22:31] ---**
Um, I... uh...
**[22:35] ---**
Can I be taken off suspension, please?!
**[22:43] ---**
For the party.
**[22:44] ---**
Thank you very much, sir.
**[22:45] ---**
I'm just here to drink some saké.
**[22:49] ---**
But Shinra is still too young to drink.
**[22:51] ---**
I didn't bring it for the kid to drink.
**[22:54] ---**
Those of us who *can* drink
can enjoy it among ourselves.
**[22:58] ---**
How about you?
**[23:02] ---**
Do you enjoy saké, my princess?
If you like, you could join me, tonight...
**[23:09] ---**
Yes, but just a little bit.
**[23:11] ---**
Underage gorilla.
**[23:13] ---**
Who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?!
**[23:15] ---**
I never said that...
**[23:18] ---**
Okay,
**[23:20] ---**
I am very pleased tonight
to host this grand party
**[23:23] ---**
to celebrate Shinra, crewman from
Special Fire Force Company 8,
**[23:29] ---**
being discharged from the hospital.
**[23:31] ---**
Coming off our earlier investigation
into the Nether...
**[23:36] ---**
Thank you for this food.
**[23:37] ---**
"See you later"
**[23:39] ---**
*Látom*.
