**[01:12] Haumea**
Shut up!
**[01:13] Haumea**
Don't say a word.
**[01:22] Haumea**
Let's go.
**[01:23] Haumea**
We're meeting up with the others.
**[01:26] Charon**
Right.
**[01:34] Haumea**
We will guide the empire to its true form.

Special Fire Force Company 8's
report on special duties.
**[03:14] Obi**
First, the operation to investigate
the continent outside the empire.
**[03:18] Obi**
According to the joint investigation
force created by the 2nd, 4th, and 8th,
**[03:21] Obi**
information relating to the Great Cataclysm of
250 years ago was found near the Spatial Tear.
**[03:27] Obi**
Amid ruins resembling the perpetual
thermal energy plant, Amaterasu,
**[03:31] Obi**
a nest of Demon Infernals was
successfully laid to rest.

Second, the operation to
investigate Haijima Industries.
**[03:59] Obi**
Our investigation confirmed that
Haijima Industries and the White Clad
**[04:02] Obi**
do not have a collaborative relationship.
**[04:05] Obi**
Also, in the case of Rekka Hoshimiya,
formerly of the 1st,
**[04:08] Obi**
insects triggered artificial Infernalization,
and Nataku Son was taken into custody.
**[04:13] Obi**
As his possession of an Adolla
Burst has been confirmed,
**[04:15] Obi**
Haijima Industries' custody
of him will continue.

Third, the joint operation
between the 2nd and 8th
**[04:56] Obi**
to investigate the experimental
facilities in the Nether.
**[05:01] Obi**
The Imperial Army discovered a White Clad
human experimentation facility in the Nether.
**[05:07] Obi**
We received their request and
joined the investigation.
**[05:09] Obi**
The joint investigation of the 2nd, 8th,
**[05:12] Obi**
and First Lieutenant Takigi
Oze of the Imperial Army
**[05:16] Obi**
discovered the White Clad's plan to destroy
the ground under the Tokyo Empire.
**[05:20] Obi**
That plan was successfully stopped.
**[05:38] Obi**
As a result of our actions
in all of these operations,
**[05:41] Obi**
the connections between us, SFF Company 8,
and various powers within the empire
**[05:46] Obi**
have grown reliably stronger.

**[06:14] Obi**
Asakusa and Haijima have both
promised us their cooperation.
**[06:19] Fire Chief**
You're saying that this disunited
empire is at last becoming one.
**[06:24] Obi**
This time, the connections
will be strong ones.
**[06:31] Fire Chief**
Very good, Obi! Well done!
**[06:34] Fire Chief**
If the empire aligns with the
Special Fire Force at its center,
**[06:38] Fire Chief**
it will be a huge step forward in unraveling
the mystery of spontaneous human combustion!
**[06:42] Obi**
We formed the 8th, and now
we've finally made it this far.
**[06:46] Obi**
This is all thanks to your support, Chief.
**[06:49] Fire Chief**
No, Obi, the credit goes to you.
**[06:52] Fire Chief**
Thank you for uniting the empire.
**[06:55] Obi**
We still have a long way to go.
**[07:03] Fire Chief**
It seems noisy out there, doesn't it?
**[07:07] army A**
Excuse the interruption.
**[07:09] army B**
We're from the Tokyo Imperial Army.
**[07:10] Obi**
I am currently fulfilling my duty
to report to the Fire Chief.
**[07:13] Obi**
What business could the
army possibly have here?
**[07:16] army A**
Akitaru Obi, you will come with us.
**[07:19] army B**
Please, don't resist.
I will put these handcuffs—
**[07:22] Fire Chief**
You're taking him in?!
**[07:23] Fire Chief**
What's the meaning of this?!
**[07:25] Obi**
It's all right. This must
be some sort of mistake.
**[07:27] Obi**
Please tell Hinawa about this.
**[07:39] Obi**
Why are the White Clad here?!

**[07:54] Maki**
Stop there!
**[08:02] Shinra**
Stupid knight!
**[08:03] Arthur**
What'd you say, stupid devil?!
**[08:05] Arthur**
I, the Knight King, shall seal you away!
You should be grateful, Devil!
**[08:10] Shinra**
I'm not a devil! I'm a hero!
**[08:12] Maki**
Hey! Both of you!
**[08:23] Maki**
Seriously?
**[08:25] Maki**
Sister!
**[08:26] Maki**
Please use that thing you got from Vulcan.
**[08:29] Iris**
Understood!
**[08:30] Iris**
Látom!
**[08:32] Shinra**
Stupid kni—
**[08:36] Vulcan**
Looks like that thing I made just
in case ended up coming in handy.
**[08:43] Maki**
Going to Asakusa has really helped
you improve, Tamaki-chan.
**[08:46] Tamaki**
Thank you so much!
**[08:48] Maki**
Though it looks like your lecher
lure is the same as always.
**[08:52] Tamaki**
Sorry about that.
**[08:54] Iris**
But you were able to defeat that person who
attacked you in the Nether, weren't you?
**[08:58] Maki**
Assault, wasn't it?
**[08:59] Maki**
No, that was just...
**[09:04] Maki**
He did that on his own.
**[09:06] Maki**
It's very reassuring.
**[09:08] Maki**
Shinra and Arthur also seem to have
acquired new techniques in Asakusa.
**[09:17] Tamaki**
Yes. Shinra says he imagines death to draw on
the hysterical strength found at a fire site.
**[09:23] Iris**
Does Arthur-san visualize death, too?
**[09:25] Tamaki**
No. I asked Arthur about his, and...
**[09:30] (Flashback) Arthur**
How did I access my hysterical
strength, you ask?
**[09:34] (Flashback) Arthur**
When I imagined possessing all
the most powerful equipment
***SIGN*** Quite unfortunately, the data from slot 1 has disappeared.
Take a moment to collect yourself,
and then let's try again!
**[09:36] (Flashback) Arthur**
and having all my stats maxed,
and then the game data disappeared...
***SIGN*** Begin adventure
***SIGN*** Adjust settings
**[09:39] (Flashback) Arthur**
I was able to access it.
**[09:43] Maki**
They do say there's only a hairsbreadth
separating idiocy from genius.
**[09:47] Tamaki**
Yes, Arthur is definitely a genius at idiocy.
**[10:10] divine ruler**
Ever since the Great Cataclysm,
**[10:13] divine ruler**
the people of the Tokyo Empire have lived
in fear of spontaneous human combustion.
**[10:20] divine ruler**
Now is the time for the empire to
be reborn. It must unite as one.
***SIGN*** Special Fire Grand Cathedral 1
**[10:33] Huo Yan**
At the Curia?
**[10:35] Burns**
We've been told to appear there at once.
**[10:37] Huo Yan**
I wonder why they'd
summon all of us together.
**[10:40] Karim**
Something big must have happened.
***SIGN*** The Curia
**[10:48] divine ruler**
I've been waiting for you...
**[10:50] divine ruler**
Captain Leonard Burns.
**[10:54] Burns**
What business do you have for us?
**[11:00] divine ruler**
Up to this point,
**[11:02] divine ruler**
the empire has been unable to move as one
due to the many powers gathered within it.
**[11:15] divine ruler**
Now, however, there is a
true need for unification.
**[11:20] divine ruler**
For the sake of the empire.
**[11:24] divine ruler**
And for the sake of our god, Sol.
**[11:31] divine ruler**
With them by our sides, we will become one.
**[11:41] divine ruler**
As possessors of the Adolla Burst,
they are true believers of our god, Sol.
**[11:46] Burns**
They are enemies of the empire!
**[11:48] Burns**
Raffles-sama, come here, quickly!
**[11:50] Haumea**
Is it really that strange for us to be here,
**[11:55] Haumea**
Leonard Burns?
**[11:56] Karim**
Of course it is!
**[11:57] Karim**
The land below ground suits
you all much better!
**[11:59] Haumea**
We've simply returned to
the place where we belong.
**[12:04] Burns**
Traitors, you will leave this sacred place!
**[12:08] Charon**
Stand back, Haumea. Stay behind me.
**[12:10] Haumea**
It's fine.
**[12:11] Haumea**
I'll fiddle with my own
brain and speak seriously.
**[12:16] Haumea**
This is the Curia!
**[12:18] Haumea**
This is the heart of the Holy Sol Temple.
**[12:21] Haumea**
We have no intention of fighting here.
**[12:23] Haumea**
We have simply come here to talk.
**[12:26] Karim**
You come in here still wearing your dirty
outside shoes, and you're saying *what*?
**[12:29] Huo Yan**
Karim!
**[12:30] Huo Yan**
As they said, this is the Curia.
**[12:37] Burns**
If you don't intend to fight,
then why have you come here?
**[12:41] Burns**
What are you after?
***SIGN*** "OTHER
WORLD"
**[12:45] Haumea; internal**

* Holy Mother. Adolla Link.*
***SIGN*** "Evangelist"

**[12:49] Haumea; internal**
* I'll read Burns' thoughts*
* with my Talking Head.*
**[12:56] Haumea**
Captain Burns, you've already
realized, haven't you?
**[13:01] Burns**
Realized what?
***SIGN*** "Wary"
**[13:03] Haumea**
That right eye that you've lost is
the greatest proof of it, isn't it?
***SIGN*** "Fear"
***SIGN*** "Sense of Duty"
***SIGN*** "Awareness"
**[13:09] Haumea**
You have seen the truth of this world.
***SIGN*** "Refusal"
**[13:13] Haumea**
But you are unable to verify it.
***SIGN*** "Interest"
***SIGN*** "Doubt"
**[13:16] Haumea**
Your goals as devout priests and
ours are the same, I believe.
**[13:24] Karim**
You're saying we're the same?
You can't just declare that!
**[13:27] Haumea**
Do you mean Rekka Hoshimiya?
***SIGN*** "Grudges"
***SIGN*** "Retrospection"
***SIGN*** "Regret"
**[13:37] Haumea**
Rekka Hoshimiya was a devout believer who
fell following the path of evangelism.
**[13:43] Karim**
You people killed him, didn't you?
**[13:47] Haumea**
In the pursuit of our great goals,
it was a necessary sacrifice.
***SIGN*** "Intent to Kill"
***SIGN*** "Rage"
**[13:51] Karim**
What "great goals"?! You're just murderers!
**[13:54] Haumea**
What value is there in
morals created by humans?
***SIGN*** "Hesitation"
***SIGN*** "Objection"
***SIGN*** "Resistance"
**[13:59] Karim**
And you're saying you've
had divine revelations?
**[14:01] Karim**
That's just you blabbering!
**[14:04] Haumea**
Can't you feel it in the words we speak?
***SIGN*** "Inquiry"
***SIGN*** "Analysis"
**[14:08] Haumea**
My words are spoken on behalf of our god!
***SIGN*** "Recollection"
**[14:12] Haumea**
You should be able to sense in them a
fragment of the will of the great cosmos.
**[14:22] Karim**
We know what your goal is. It's to
recreate the Great Cataclysm, right?
**[14:27] Haumea**
That is no more than the mechanism
of our great objective.
***SIGN*** "Despair"
***SIGN*** "Righteousness"
***SIGN*** "Rejection"
**[14:31] divine ruler**
We, the followers of the Holy Sol Temple,
seek only to follow the will of our god, Sol.
**[14:37] Huo Yan**
The Great Cataclysm itself isn't the goal?
**[14:40] Onyango**
And you're saying that our god,\nSol, wishes this?
***SIGN*** "Confusion"
***SIGN*** "Confusion"

**[14:50] Haumea**
Captain Leonard Burns.
**[14:53] Haumea**
In exchange for that right eye,
you must have seen it.
**[14:57] Haumea**
The true state of this world...
***SIGN*** "Insects"
***SIGN*** "Hell"
***SIGN*** "God"
***SIGN*** "Truth"
***SIGN*** "Rules"
***SIGN*** "Higher Dimension"
***SIGN*** "World"
***SIGN*** "Numbers"
**[15:00] Haumea**
and the future that is to come.
***SIGN*** "Desire"
***SIGN*** "Curiosity"
**[15:05] Burns**
What is your group's objective?
***SIGN*** "Light"
**[15:11] Haumea**
To turn this watery world into a sun!
**[15:14] Haumea**
Just as the sun did once before!
***SIGN*** "Sun"
**[15:21] Huo Yan**
That's utterly ridiculous.
**[15:23] Karim**
You're really planning to
burn this planet to a crisp?
**[15:25] Haumea**
Prove your faith, Leonard Burns.
***SIGN*** "God"
**[15:29] Haumea**
If you truly are as devout a priest
as you say, you will have seen
***SIGN*** "God"
**[15:34] Haumea**
the complete otherworldliness of it.
**[15:34] Burns**
God.
**[15:38] Haumea**
Absolute correct judgment.
**[15:41] Haumea**
Absolute blind devotion.
**[15:45] Haumea**
Release beyond the bounds
of human knowledge.
**[15:49] Haumea**
Divine madness.
***SIGN*** "Conversion"
**[16:22] Shinra**
They took the captain?!
**[16:24] Hinawa**
As he was giving his report to the Fire
Chief at the Fire Defense Agency,
**[16:27] Hinawa**
the army came and took him away.
**[16:29] Hinawa**
He is currently being detained
under the army's observation.
**[16:34] Hinawa**
I was told that the White
Clad were with the army.
**[16:38] Hinawa**
Which means that we should consider the
captain to be captured by the White Clad.
**[16:42] Iris**
How can this be?
**[16:44] Maki**
Why would they take the captain?
**[16:46] Tamaki**
And why would the White Clad
be cooperating with the army?
**[16:49] Hinawa**
The method by which the White Clad gained
access to the heart of our empire is a mystery.
**[16:54] Hinawa**
But their objective must be the capture
of Shinra, with his Adolla Burst.
**[17:01] Arthur**
Draw!
**[17:02] Arthur**
By offering Shinra as a living sacrifice,
I summon the captain!
**[17:05] Shinra**
Hey!
**[17:06] Shinra**
...is what I'd like to say,
but I'd be okay with that.
**[17:09] Hinawa**
No!
**[17:10] Hinawa**
The 8th will never sell out its allies!
**[17:13] Hinawa**
It was Captain Obi himself who said that.
**[17:17] Arthur**
Out of respect for his words,
I will discard Shinra from my deck.
**[17:21] Shinra**
You just really wanna get
rid of me, don't you?
**[17:23] Licht**
We have to hurry. The army will
show up here eventually, too.
**[17:27] Hinawa**
Those who wish to remain here should stay.
**[17:30] Hinawa**
I will prepare to rescue the captain.
**[17:33] Hinawa**
When I do, I will likely have
to fight agents of the empire.
**[17:37] Maki**
If you do that, Lieutenant Hinawa...
**[17:39] Hinawa**
Yes, I will become a traitor.
**[17:43] Hinawa**
That's why I am acting
as a private individual.
**[17:45] Hinawa**
I am not issuing an order.
**[17:49] Hinawa**
Those who would leave should leave!
**[17:50] Hinawa**
Once I am branded a rebel, I will
no longer be your lieutenant.
**[17:54] Shinra**
I'm going, too!
**[17:55] Shinra**
That's obvious, isn't it?
Let's save the captain!
**[17:58] Arthur**
I'm going, too! It's a knight's...
**[18:02] Arthur**
I'm going!
**[18:03] Arthur**
A knight should...
**[18:05] Arthur**
What is it again?
A knight... would save him!
**[18:08] Vulcan**
Lieutenant, you'll always be our lieutenant!
**[18:11] Vulcan**
Don't try to run away from that!
**[18:12] Iris**
Please don't say such sad things!
**[18:14] everyone**
Lieutenant!
**[18:14] Iris**
We love the captain!
**[18:16] Hinawa**
Pipe down!
**[18:18] Hinawam**
Maki, you have a home to go back to.
**[18:21] Maki**
I set my heart on being a
fire soldier in the 8th.
**[18:25] Maki**
Say any more and I'll get angry at you,
even if you are my lieutenant.
**[18:30] Shinra**
Tamaki, don't force yourself.
You've got family.
**[18:36] Tamaki**
I don't wanna be labeled a traitor...
**[18:38] Tamaki**
but you're all going, right?
**[18:41] Tamaki**
So I'm going, too!
**[18:42] Shinra**
That's a good enough reason?
**[18:44] Tamaki**
I'm not just getting swept along
by what the rest of you think.
**[18:47] Tamaki**
I'm not just meekly going with the flow!
***SIGN*** BOOM
**[18:49] Tamaki**
I am determined! And if everyone
is going, then so am I!
**[18:53] Tamaki**
Let's go!
**[18:54] Shinra**
She's saying meek things very forcefully.
**[18:58] Hinawa**
We are the Fire Force!
**[19:00] Hinawa**
We are always ready to move, right?
**[19:02] Shinra**
You've got that right!
**[19:03] Arthur**
This knight is always ready!
**[19:03] Vulcan**
Of course we are!
**[19:04] Maki**
Give our captain back, you jerks!
**[19:07] Licht**
Since their loyalty to
the empire runs so deep,
**[19:09] Licht**
the 1st and 2nd will become your enemies.
**[19:12] Licht**
The 8th will be completely on its own.
**[19:16] Licht**
And yet no one is opting out.
That's impressive.
**[19:19] Licht**
That's the 8th for you!
**[19:22] Hinawa**
That's because the 8th is a family.
**[19:25] Hinawa**
Inspector Licht, what will you do?
**[19:29] Licht**
The 8th is chasing the mystery of spontaneous
human combustion, which threatens our world.
**[19:35] Licht**
I knew from the beginning that this meant
**[19:38] Licht**
the world would turn against you one day.
**[19:44] Licht**
You're going to become rebels against the
world, so your next opponent will be...
**[19:56] Shinra**
The Tokyo Empire.
**[21:49] Burns**
We've captured Akitaru Obi.
**[21:51] Haumea**
Have you?
**[21:53] Burns**
Is the recapture of Shinra Kusakabe and his
Adolla Burst the will of the Evangelist?
**[21:59] Haumea**
Yes.
**[22:00] Haumea**
Obi will be the bait that lures
the Fourth Pillar to us.
**[22:04] Haumea**
And he had a role in the development
of Shinra's Adolla Burst.
**[22:11] Haumea**
We must reward him appropriately,
don't you think?
**[22:16] Burns**
He has devoted his life to our god, Sol.
**[22:20] Burns**
Let us bestow upon him the joy
of returning to those flames.
**[22:30] Burns**
Akitaru Obi...
**[22:32] Burns**
shall be implanted with an Insect.

**[00:01] Obi; narration**
*Causes of death are many and varied.*
**[00:04] Obi; narration**
*Old age, suicide, illness...*
**[00:08] Obi; narration**
* But the cause of death that scares*
* the most people in this day and age...*
**[00:16] Obi; narration**
*is death by fire.*
**[00:24] Shinra**
This place...
**[00:26] Shinra**
Adolla. Am I in an Adolla Link?
**[00:32] Shinra**
Why is Captain Burns here?
**[00:35] Burns**
A life devoted to our god, Sol,
**[00:38] Burns**
shall be awarded the joy of
returning to those flames.
**[00:42] Shinra**
The joy of returning to the flames?
What are you talking about?
**[00:45] Burns**
Akitaru Obi...
**[00:48] Burns**
shall be implanted with an Insect.
**[00:55] Maki**
Lieutenant, give us our
orders for what comes next.
**[00:57] Hinawa**
The Imperial Army will be here soon.
**[01:00] Hinawa**
We will leave here immediately and
seek a place to conceal ourselves.
**[01:03] Licht**
In that case, I know the perfect spot.
**[01:08] Hinawa**
Show us, please. Once we arrive,
we will begin collecting infor—
**[01:11] Shinra**
We don't have much time.
**[01:14] Hinawa**
What is it, Shinra?
**[01:16] Shinra**
I saw Burns through an Adolla Link.

**[02:59] (Flashback) Hinawa**
There are still many things
here that seem usable.
**[03:02] (Flashback) Obi**
Looks like what we'll have to buy new
are uniforms, supplies, and a Matchbox.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Obi**
How's life been since quitting the army?
**[03:14] (Flashback) Hinawa**
No changes to speak of.
**[03:17] (Flashback) Obi**
Now that I think about it, you've never
told me about your private life.
**[03:21] (Flashback) Obi**
Do you have family?
**[03:23] (Flashback) Hinawa**
My father raised me on his own,
but he passed away of an illness last year.
**[03:28] (Flashback) Obi**
I see. Your dad raised you.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Obi**
Do you have a girlfriend or anything?
**[03:33] (Flashback) Hinawa**
A girlfriend?
**[03:35] (Flashback) Obi**
Should I have asked about
a boyfriend instead?
**[03:38] (Flashback) Obi**
I don't have any prejudices about that.
**[03:40] (Flashback) Hinawa**
I have no girlfriend or boyfriend.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Hinawa**
It's the job.
**[03:44] (Flashback) Hinawa**
Since I don't know when I might die,
**[03:46] (Flashback) Hinawa**
I can't work up an interest
in finding someone like that.
**[03:48] (Flashback) Obi**
Don't say such sad things.
**[03:51] (Flashback) Obi**
Are you really sure you
want to be in the 8th?
**[03:53] (Flashback) Hinawa**
Well, I didn't think it would
be this irregular a unit.
**[03:57] (Flashback) Hinawa**
May I quit now?
**[03:58] (Flashback) Obi**
Hmm... Nope.
**[04:01] (Flashback) Hinawa**
The 8th is an outsider,
investigating other units.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Hinawa**
It's only natural that the others
will dislike and avoid it.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Hinawa**
For that reason, people like me,
who have no one else, are a good fit.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Obi**
Depending on the circumstances, we may
have to become rebels in the empire's eyes.
**[04:20] (Flashback) Obi**
Which is why we can't have anyone here
who treats their life like it's nothing.
**[04:25] (Flashback) Obi**
We need troops who value their own lives
and others', who have true strength.
**[04:31] (Flashback) Obi**
I'm excited to see what kind
of unit the 8th will become.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Hinawa**
You'll be the king and the
father of this company.
**[04:40] (Flashback) Obi**
That's a lot of pressure.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Obi**
You're right, though.
**[04:45] (Flashback) Obi**
I'm at an age where it wouldn't
be weird to have kids.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Hinawa**
I am committed, Captain Obi.
**[04:53] (Flashback) Hinawa**
I will do everything I can to help
the 8th become a thriving family.
**[04:58] (Flashback) Obi**
This is our castle.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Obi**
This is where we'll save all of humanity.
**[05:14] Shinra**
Lieutenant!
**[05:18] Shinra**
The Matchbox's preparations are complete.
**[05:20] Shinra**
We can leave at any time.
**[05:22] Hinawa**
Good.
**[05:24] Shinra**
We may not be able to come back for a while.
**[05:28] Hinawa**
We will rescue Captain Obi, no matter what.
**[05:31] Shinra**
Yes, sir.
**[05:50] guard A**
How is he? Is he behaving himself?
**[05:53] guard B**
He's behaving...
**[06:05] guard B**
but he's been doing that ever
since we put him in there.
**[06:09] Obi**
Excuse me! May I have some water?
***SIGN*** Whoosh
**[06:13] guard B**
Seriously?
**[06:18] guard B**
This isn't a pub! You will only be
provided with water at designated times.
**[06:22] Obi**
I'll die of dehydration.
**[06:25] guard B**
It was your choice to do
all that physical training.
**[06:27] guard B**
You brought it upon yourself.
**[06:29] Obi**
If you don't hurry up
and let me out of here,
**[06:32] Obi**
I'll have nothing better to do than
keep training and get ripped.
**[06:35] Obi**
I'll get even stronger than I am now!
**[06:43] Obi**
What's going on outside?
**[06:47] Obi**
How's the 8th doing?
**[06:49] Obi**
Hinawa... I'm counting on you.

**[07:05] man A**
Kidnapping someone with the holy flame
and holding them captive is just...
**[07:10] man B**
And it was done by someone from
the official Special Fire Force.
**[07:11] newscaster**
* The other members of Special*

**[07:25] Karin**
Who'd have thought the 8th would
commit such nefarious deeds?
**[07:28] Ogun**
You know they wouldn't.
**[07:29] Karin**
Huh?
**[07:31] Ogun**
Things are getting weird.
**[07:35] angels**
5th Angels Three!
**[07:37] angel A; simultaneous**
Requiem complete.
**[07:37] angel B; simultaneous**
Finished.
**[07:37] angel C; simultaneous**
The end.
**[07:41] member of the 5th A**
A fire has broken out in Torigoe!
**[07:43] member of the 5th A**
Princess, what are our orders?
**[07:45] Hibana**
Deploy the gravel troop
to the site immediately.
**[07:48] member of the 5th A**
Clatter!
**[07:51] Conehead**
With the 8th gone, even the area under
their jurisdiction seems to have gone wild.
**[07:56] Hibana**
That gravel in the 8th.
They're always causing me trouble.
**[07:59] Conehead**
The 8th who launched an
investigation into you are gone,
**[08:02] Conehead**
and yet you don't seem happy.
**[08:04] Hibana**
Indeed not. I have less
gravel to kick around now.
**[08:09] Conehead**
I am concerned for you, Princess.
**[08:12] Conehead**
You have been assisting the 8th
from the shadows, haven't you?
**[08:21] Conehead**
The 8th are now traitors who have
turned their backs on the empire.
**[08:25] Conehead**
It is a completely different
matter from any previous.
**[08:27] Conehead**
I beg you, please cease
lending them your aid.

**[08:43] townsperson**
I got some fresh seasonal fish in!
What do you say to a drink tonight?
**[08:48] townsperson**
Beni?
**[08:49] townsperson**
What's with Beni?
Did he lose money gambling again?
**[08:59] Konro**
Waka! The 8th is...
**[09:00] Benimaru**
Yeah, I know.
**[09:04] Konro**
It's just as you feared.
The empire has united in the worst way.
**[09:09] Benimaru**
Any word from the 8th?
**[09:11] Konro**
None. I'm sure they're trying to keep
the heat from spreading to Asakusa.
***SIGN*** Seven
**[09:20] Benimaru**
The whole empire's turned into
a crossfire full of enemies.
**[09:33] soldier E**
I have a report!
**[09:34] soldier E**
The members of the 8th
are nowhere to be found!
**[09:37] soldier C**
What? Collect eyewitness statements!
Deduce where they're running to!
**[09:41] soldier C**
They're traveling via Matchbox!
**[09:43] soldier C**
It's bound to stand out.
Do whatever it takes to find them!
**[09:46] soldier E**
Yes, sir!
**[10:01] Vulcan**
We've hidden the Matchbox.
**[10:03] Hinawa**
The eyes of the search teams are relentless.
**[10:05] Hinawa**
If things stay as they are, it's only
a matter of time before we're found.
**[10:14] Shinra**
What's wrong? Did you only just
figure out how big a deal this is?
**[10:17] Shinra**
You're regretting it, right?
**[10:18] Tamaki**
I ended up here through my
own strong convictions.
**[10:22] Shinra**
Your expression is scary.
**[10:24] Licht**
The 8th are pros at putting out
fires and laying souls to rest,
**[10:27] Licht**
but you're amateurs at being outlaws
and finding means of escape.
**[10:31] Vulcan**
Condescending much?
**[10:33] Vulcan**
You're from a major company,
a Haijima man, right?
**[10:36] Licht**
The captain asked me something before.
**[10:40] Licht**
Am I the 8th's ally, or Haijima's?
**[10:44] Licht**
Back then, I couldn't answer...
**[10:47] Licht**
but the truth is, I'm neither.
**[10:51] Licht**
The truth is, a certain person and
I have been outlaws all along.
**[10:55] Licht**
So in terms of being an outlaw,
I'm senior to you.
**[11:04] Joker**
'Sup?
**[11:07] Shinra**
Joker?!
**[11:10] Joker**
So you've finally come to this side,
**[11:13] Joker**
Devil?
**[11:14] Licht**
If the 8th are heroes who fight in the open
to unravel the mystery of human combustion,
**[11:19] Licht**
then we are those who fight in the shadows.
**[11:22] Light**
Dark heroes.
**[11:24] Joker**
If you don't want to get caught, follow me.
**[11:28] Joker**
I'll teach you how to shake
the bad guys off your tail.
**[11:33] Shinra**
Wait! How can we trust you?
**[11:35] Shinra**
We already know what kind of guy you are!
**[11:38] Joker**
I thought you didn't have much time.
**[11:41] Joker**
I mean, if you want to get caught,
then do whatever you want.
**[11:58] Shinra**
You're looking pretty rough.
**[12:00] Joker**
For me, the darkness is like my own garden.
**[12:04] Joker**
Why wouldn't I wander through
it in my comfy clothes?
**[12:07] Hinawa**
Where do you intend to take us?
**[12:18] Joker**
It took the 8th a long time
to come to this side.
**[12:22] Joker**
Now, you're all traitors, too.
**[12:25] Joker**
It's been so lonely,
just the two of us, you know?
**[12:32] Joker**
Your senpai outlaws are going to
teach you how to walk in the darkness.
**[12:39] Joker**
Choose.
**[12:41] Joker**
The circle of light...
**[12:44] Joker**
or the circle of darkness.
**[12:47] Joker**
Which will it be?
**[12:54] Joker**
You don't have much of a choice, do you?

**[13:16] Shinra**
A sewer that's not in use anymore, huh?
**[13:19] Tamaki**
I'm amazed you can live
in a place like this.
**[13:22] Licht**
We have air conditioning in our
secret base, so it doesn't stink.
***SIGN*** Secret Base
**[13:28] Shinra**
You're not even trying to hide it.
**[13:31] Joker**
This place isn't on any map.
It's been forgotten.
***SIGN*** Beware of
Guard Dog
**[13:36] Arthur**
You have Cerberus here?
**[13:38] Licht**
No.
**[13:39] Arthur**
Oh.
**[13:41] Licht**
It's rare, but sometimes there
are others besides us down here,
**[13:44] Licht**
people who have lost
their place above ground.
**[13:50] Licht**
Please come in. This is our castle.
**[13:57] Tamaki**
Wow, there's a lot of creepy stuff in here.
**[14:01] Iris**
I wonder what this is.
**[14:04] Licht**
I understand why you're wary,
but please trust me.
**[14:08] Licht**
Despite appearances, Joker and
I trust all of you in the 8th.
**[14:16] Joker**
So, I suppose we should talk
about what to do next.
**[14:21] Shinra**
Captain Obi! As soon as possible!
**[14:23] Arthur**
We have to hurry and save him!
**[14:25] Hinawa**
Calm down.
**[14:26] Vulcan**
So, how are we getting him out of there?
**[14:29] Hinawa**
If Shinra's vision is correct,
we don't have much time.
**[14:33] Hinawa**
However, we must first learn
Captain Obi's location.
**[14:38] Licht**
If you're wondering where Captain
Obi is, Joker has already...
**[14:42] Joker**
I've determined his location.
**[14:46] Joker**
The Tokyo Empire's most heinous
criminals and ideological offenders
**[14:51] Joker**
are all thrown in there.
***SIGN*** Fuchu Penitentiary

*God. Holy Sol.*
**[15:11] Burns; internal**
*Back then, in that place...*
**[15:14] Burns; internal**
*I discovered a being that I could not doubt.*
**[15:24] Haumea**
If you didn't earnestly obey,
I was planning on brainwashing you.
**[15:30] Haumea**
I'm impressed that you
converted and accepted us.
**[15:34] Burns**
As a citizen of the empire, as a priest...
**[15:38] Burns**
it has been what some may call my
duty to serve the Holy Sol faith.
**[15:42] Burns**
But in that moment, through the Adolla
Link, doubt in my faith was born.
**[15:49] Burns**
That was because I sensed
God through the Evangelist.
**[15:54] Burns**
I believe that the inclusion of the
Evangelist in the Holy Sol Temple
**[15:56] Burns**
makes it the true Holy Sol faith.
**[16:00] Burns**
Not because of duty...
**[16:02] Burns**
but because I saw a god worthy of true
belief from the depths of my heart.

**[16:17] Haumea**
And it seems your words carry no lies.
**[16:20] Haumea**
Then, for the sake of evangelism, you'd be
able to contravene the path of humanity?
***SIGN*** Humanity's

***SIGN*** God's Path
**[16:25] Burns**
Walking God's path is a priest's duty.
**[16:29] Burns**
As for spontaneous human combustion,
**[16:31] Burns**
it is but one trial bestowed upon humans
in order for us to reach the sun.
**[16:36] Burns**
By overcoming our trials, humanity shall
become a sun and be transformed into flame.
**[16:42] Haumea**
Yes.
**[16:43] Haumea**
And that man has the right
to know the joy of it.
**[16:49] Burns**
Akitaru Obi.
**[16:57] Hinawa**
We're counting on you!
**[16:58] Hinawa**
We will follow you soon.
**[17:00] Shinra**
Yes, sir!
**[17:02] Joker**
Then we'll follow the plan and head
to Fuchu ahead of the rest of you.
**[17:11] Shinra; internal**
*They're gonna put an Insect in the captain.*
**[17:21] Hiwara**
We're moving out, too!
**[17:22] everyone**
Yes, sir!

One gold, two gold, three gold, four gold...
**[17:30] Gold**
five gold, Insect gold...
**[17:34] Gold**

**[17:41] Gold**
Insect gold.
**[17:47] Gold**
This luster, this facial expression...
**[17:50] Gold**
It seems this Insect is the right one.
**[17:53] Obi**
What business do you have here, White Clad?
**[17:56] Gold**
There is nothing that
cannot be moved by money.
**[17:59] Gold**
In both the psychological
sense and the physical sense,
**[18:03] Gold**
money is able to destroy
any number of people.
**[18:06] Gold**
But I do not vanquish people with money.
**[18:09] Gold**
Why?
**[18:12] Gold**
In order to bring despair
upon them. Ka-ching.
**[18:17] Gold**
I am Gold.
**[18:20] Gold**
I am a Destroyer.
**[18:22] Obi**
I don't care what your name is!
**[18:24] Obi**
Hurry up and let me out of here.
**[18:26] Gold**
I cannot be bought with money.
**[18:29] Gold**
The reason being that I am Gold.
**[18:33] Gold**
Money holds no fascination for me.
**[18:35] Gold**
Don't worry. I shall soon set you free.
**[18:38] Gold**
However, you will already be an Infernal.
**[18:51] Maki**
It's thanks to Vulcan that we've got this
much equipment in such an emergency.
**[18:55] Vulcan**
I'm your engineer! Of course
I've got you covered!
**[19:01] Maki**
Arthur's just got the one sword.
Must be nice to travel so light.
**[19:05] Arthur**
Well, I am a knight, after all.
**[19:10] Iris**
Is something there?
**[19:12] Tamaki**
An enemy?
**[19:14] Arthur**
A dragon child, I see. As it is
but a child, I will let it go.
**[19:18] Tamaki**
Don't scare us like that.
**[19:25] Arthur**
Being a dragon slayer is
a knight's true glory.
**[19:29] Arthur**
Where are you, O dragons?
**[19:36] Iris**
Arthur-san!
**[19:37] Tamaki**
Don't blame us if you get left behind again!
**[19:40] Vulcan**
It's going to take a long time
to get to Fuchu on foot.
**[19:43] Licht**
A little further along is the transport
that Joker and I use to get around.
**[19:47] Licht**
Using a Nether-specific vehicle
will get us to Fuchu the fastest.
**[19:51] Maki**
I always thought you popped
up in unexpected places.
**[19:54] Maki**
So you were traveling through the Nether.
**[19:56] Hinawa**
Can we trust Joker?
**[19:58] Licht**
You still don't trust him?
**[20:01] Licht**
If you trust me, then please trust him, too.
**[20:06] Licht**
He is Tokyo's dark hero.
**[20:15] Shinra**
I never imagined I'd be teaming up with you.
**[20:19] Joker**
I've been giving you encouragement
since the Rookie Games, haven't I?
**[20:24] Joker**
It was always going to turn out like this.
**[20:26] Joker**
Took much longer than expected, actually.
**[20:34] Shinra**
This doesn't mean I trust you yet!
**[20:36] Joker**
That's good.
**[20:38] Joker**
People, the empire, the world...
You shouldn't trust any of them too easily.
**[20:43] Shinra**
Then why are you helping the 8th?
**[20:45] Joker**
For a very simple reason.
**[20:48] Joker**
Let's just call it the instinct of
someone who lives in the shadows.
**[20:52] Joker**
We can't afford to lose him here.
**[20:56] Joker**
The empire needs Obi.
**[21:04] Joker**
When a person who has lived a long
time in deep darkness takes a look,
**[21:08] Joker**
they know without even trying...
**[21:11] Joker**
what real light is.
**[21:14] Shinra**
You mean Captain Obi?
**[21:16] Joker**
Not the Holy Sol Temple or the sun god.
**[21:20] Joker**
And Obi isn't the only light I've found.
**[21:25] Joker**
You're one, too, Shinra Kusakabe.
**[21:31] Joker**
We've got powerful enemies at the prison.
**[21:34] Joker**
Leonard Burns, and those
Destroyers who killed Hague.
**[21:40] Joker**
Pillars have those Guardians
with them, right?
**[21:43] Joker**
I'll protect you.
**[21:46] Shinra**
I don't need your concern!
**[21:47] Shinra**
I got stronger in Asakusa.
**[21:50] Shinra**
I can fight powerful opponents
like you and Captain Burns!
**[21:53] Joker**
Yeah? With that spirit, you think
you can take down Benimaru, too?
**[21:57] Shinra**
Not a chance.
**[22:02] Joker**

Can we trust Joker?
**[01:06] Licht**
If you trust me, then please trust him too.
**[01:11] Licht**
He is Tokyo's dark hero.
**[01:15] Joker**
And Obi isn't the only light I've found.
**[01:20] Joker**
You're one, too, Shinra Kusakabe.
**[01:24] Gold**
I do not vanquish people with money.
**[01:26] Gold**
Don't worry. I shall soon set you free.

However, you will have to become an Infernal.

**[04:07] Shinra**
Where is Captain Obi?
**[04:11] Burns**
Akitaru Obi.
**[04:14] Burns**
As a reward for devoting his
heart and mind to Sol...
**[04:18] Burns**
He will return to the flames!
**[04:22] Shinra**
Why, Captain Burns? Why are you doing this?
**[04:27] Burns**
Until now, I have devoted
my life to serving god.
**[04:31] Burns**
It was my duty, my way of life.
**[04:35] Burns**
But through my experience of that Adolla Link,
doubt in god was born within me.
**[05:09] Burns**
And now, through the Evangelist, I have
sensed a god which I cannot doubt...
**[05:15] Burns**
a truth which must be believed.
**[05:18] Burns**
In which case, devoting myself to
this god must be my way of life.
**[05:29] Joker**
You're right. That Adolla place
seemed like god's realm.
**[05:34] Joker**
But I never made any vows to god,
so I didn't see fairness or justice there.
**[05:41] Shinra**
The White Clad are trying to cause a
Great Cataclysm to destroy the world!
**[05:47] Burns**
After calamity there is regeneration.
**[05:51] Burns**
Destruction is not the end.
**[05:53] Burns**
Before god, human logic is no more than ego!
**[05:58] Shinra**
What about all the people in Tokyo
you've saved? What'll happen to them?
**[06:10] Burns**
Sacrifices come with all actions.
**[06:16] Burns**
All the more so in great undertakings.
**[06:20] Shinra**
Captain!
**[06:24] Burns**
Akitaru Obi.
**[06:26] Burns**
Humanity will lose a tremendous presence.
**[06:30] Burns**
What will we gain in return?
**[06:36] Shinra**
Is that what you truly believe?!

the amount of heat Burns accumulates
will just keep increasing.
**[08:00] Joker**
The more time you give him,
the stronger he'll get.
**[08:04] Joker**
And then he'll be more than you can handle.
**[08:13] Shinra; internal**
*Captain Burns...*
**[08:15] Shinra; internal**
*what are you thinking?*
**[08:28] Shinra; internal**
* Why would a fire soldier who*

**[08:32] Shinra; internal**
*For me, you always...*
**[08:37] Shinra; internal**
*felt sort of like a father.*
**[08:41] Shinra**
Why did you change like this?
**[08:45] Shinra**
You're not even gonna give me
time to hear your reasons?
**[09:04] Burns**
The 8th will come.
**[09:06] Burns**
This is where I will make my stand.
**[09:09] Burns**
May I ask that the rest
of you please stay way?
**[09:13] Haumea**
Very well. The Destroyers will stand aside.
We'll leave this to you.
**[09:18] Burns**
I will intercept and engage
the Fourth Pillar.
**[09:33] Charon**
What's wrong, Haumea?
**[09:37] Haumea**
I'm a little tired, that's all.
**[09:40] Haumea**
Don't make such a fuss over every
little thing! It's suffocating.
**[09:50] Karim**
Turn this planet into a sun?
**[09:53] Karim**
No matter how many times, or how major,
**[09:55] Karim**
a Great Cataclysm they
trigger on this earth,
**[09:58] Karim**
there's no way this planet'll
turn into a sun!
**[10:00] Karim**
With that kind of logic,
they're no better than a cult!
**[10:02] Karim**
And they expect us to believe 'em?
**[10:05] Karim**
Why is Captain Burns helping the White Clad
when they're saying such stupid stuff?
**[10:12] Huo Yan**
It shows how terrifying the world of
Adolla he once saw must have been.
**[10:18] Karim**
Even if it was, I can't believe
he'd turn the world into a sun.
**[10:25] Huo Yan**
Still, all we can do is trust
in god and take action.
**[10:30] Huo Yan**
I'm certain that Captain Burns
is doing the same.
**[10:33] Karim**
Even so, tying Captain Obi up
like that just isn't right.
**[10:57] Licht**
We'll arrive in Fuchu soon!
**[10:59] Vulcan**
Time to storm the place!
**[11:01] Hinawa**
We're far behind Shinra and Joker!
**[11:03] Hinawa**
Get ready!
**[11:10] Maki**
U-Um...
**[11:14] Maki**
It's dangerous to stand while
the vehicle is moving.
**[11:17] Maki**
Lieutenant, you're always telling us to—
**[11:19] Hinawa**
Shut up.
**[11:21] Hinawa**
We're rebels now!
**[11:23] Hinawa**
We can lean out of car windows
or whatever else we want!
**[11:26] Hinawa**
Don't hold back!
**[11:27] Hinawa**
We're going out there to raze the
Fuchu Penitentiary to the ground!
**[11:31] Hinawa**
Demolish the prison!
**[11:34] Tamaki**
I don't know why, but it doesn't feel
like he only just became a rebel.
**[11:38] Maki**
Yeah, he seems used to being a rebel.
**[11:40] Hinawa**
What's wrong? You're all acting too meek!
**[11:43] Hinawa**
Demolish the prison!
**[11:48] Lisa; Iris; Maki; Tamaki**
D-Demolish the prison!
**[11:51] Hinawa**
I can't hear you! Demolish the prison!
**[11:54] Lisa; Iris; Maki; Tamaki**
Demolish the prison!
**[11:56] Hinawa**
You can do better than that!
**[11:57] Lisa; Iris; Maki; Tamaki**
Demolish the prison!
**[11:59] Hinawa**
Again!
**[12:00] Lisa; Iris; Maki; Tamaki**
Demolish the prison!
**[12:11] Stream**
Burns has experienced an Adolla Link, right?
**[12:14] Stream**
Why are you letting him live?
**[12:16] Gold**
Haumea deems him necessary
to this playground.
**[12:20] Gold**
Apparently, she is planning to
link him to a doppelganger.
**[12:25] Gold**
We are to prepare to intercept
the rest of the 8th.
**[12:30] Gold**
The darkness of despair is the encouragement
that will lead this planet to the sun.
**[12:34] Gold**
Together with despair,
we shall destroy them.
**[12:40] Destroyer B**
And Haumea?
**[12:43] Gold**
Still in the sanctum in the Nether.
**[12:46] Gold**
She is gathering the collective unconscious.
**[13:08] Yona**
As usual, I do come in quite
the troublesome form, don't I?
**[13:15] Charon**
Yona, is it?
**[13:16] Yona**
Charon.
**[13:21] Yona**
It seems that Haumea's gathering of the
collective unconscious is going very well.
**[13:28] Charon**
I can't stand to watch.
**[13:30] Yona**
We are now in the age of deciphering pi.
**[13:35] Yona**
The time is near.
**[13:40] Charon**
If it means that I no longer
have to watch Haumea suffer...
**[13:44] Charon**
then I don't care what it takes.

Well then.
**[14:07] Conehead**
Princess doesn't seem to be present.
**[14:10] member of the 5th**
If is Princess you're looking for, she's
been in the research lab since she returned.
**[14:15] Conehead**
The research lab?
**[14:19] Hibana**
Infernals that speak.
**[14:22] Hibana**
Miyamoto.
**[14:23] Hibana**
Demons.
**[14:25] Hibana**
And doppelgangers.
**[14:33] Hibana**
Why do all of these
investigations connect here?
**[14:38] Hibana**
The convent where both Iris and I lived...
**[14:41] Hibana**
Are you telling me it's caught
up in some kind of experiments?
**[14:49] Hibana**
The fire that consumed the
sisters was man-made arson.
**[14:52] Hibana**
And it's connected to
doppelgangers in some fashion?
**[15:00] Hibana**
If that's true...
**[15:05] Gold**
Burns is handling the Fourth Pillar.
**[15:08] Gold**
The remaining members of
the 8th will be here soon.
**[15:11] Destroyer B**
I see.
**[15:13] Stream**
Then we will destroy them.
**[15:17] Gold**
Their plan is to use the Fourth Pillar and
his ally as decoys while they infiltrate.
**[15:23] Gold**
We do not know where they
will choose to enter.
**[15:25] Gold**
Let us take care to watch the rear entrance.
**[15:28] Gold**
This wall. They cannot enter directly here.
**[15:51] Hinawa**
Find Captain Obi!
**[15:53] Hinawa**
Anyone who gets in the way...
will be unilaterally pulverized!
**[15:57] Destroyer B**
They came in directly.
**[15:59] Stream**
That was a good setup, Gold.
**[16:04] Maki**
They've already found us, Lieutenant.
**[16:06] Hinawa**
What?
**[16:07] Vulcan**
Well, they would, wouldn't they?
**[16:10] Hinawa**
Vulcan, stand by at the rear.
You and Licht back us up.
**[16:14] Vulcan**
Yes, sir!
**[16:15] Hinawa**
Arthur, you take point and
see how things are looking.
**[16:21] Hinawa**
Arthur?
**[16:23] Maki**
Huh?
**[16:24] Tamaki**
Now that I think about it, I feel
like I haven't seen him in a while.
**[16:27] Maki**
Could he have fallen from
the truck along the way?
**[16:30] Vulcan**
Come on. You can't be serious?
Without him, who'll take point?
**[16:35] Hinawa**
That's why I've always said not to
stand up while we're traveling.
**[16:39] Gold**
To think you'd attack so directly.
**[16:42] Gold**
It appears you lacked the
time to plan properly.
**[16:47] Gold**
The cost of passage is your lives.
**[16:49] Gold**
Ka-ching.
**[16:51] Maki**
We don't have Shinra, Arthur,
or the captain. Who will take point?
**[16:56] Hinawa**
Either you or I have to do it, Maki.
**[16:58] Tamaki**
We have a point person!
**[17:01] Tamaki**
I have a strong resistance
to fire, so I'll do it!
**[17:05] Maki**
Tamaki...
**[17:09] Maki**
There's no guarantee that their
attacks will involve flames.
**[17:13] Maki**
Be careful!
**[17:14] Tamaki**
Leave it to me.
**[17:16] Tamaki**
My top speed is nowhere near Shinra's,
**[17:19] Tamaki**
but I've got him beat in maneuverability!
**[17:21] Tamaki**
I'll move as fast as possible!
**[17:25] Gold**
The cost of passage has increased
by one person. Ka-ching.
**[17:29] Hinawa**
Maki, we're Tamaki's support!
**[17:32] Maki**
Yes, sir!
**[17:34] Vulcan**
Licht, is the visual field
clear? Can you see?
**[17:37] Licht**
We're on the other side of the wall.
The video feed is perfect.
**[17:41] Licht**
And I can confirm visuals on our enemies.
**[17:43] Vulcan**
We two are running back up for those three!
**[17:46] Licht**
Leave it to me!
**[17:53] Tamaki**
This should do it!
**[17:56] Gold**
You think that if it comes
from above it will hit me?
**[18:00] Tamaki**
Take this! Nekomata—
**[18:05] Hinawa**
Tamaki! Pull back from there!
**[18:11] Tamaki**
My shot was turned back at me?
**[18:13] Hinawa**
Maki, take control!
**[18:14] Maki**
Yes, sir!
**[18:16] Gold**
A powerful second generation pyrokinetic.
**[18:20] Gold**
But it's to no avail.
**[18:22] Tamaki**
Maki-san!
**[18:30] Gold**
I have missed my chance to collect the toll.
**[18:34] Gold**
Well, no matter.
**[18:36] Maki**
Thank you.
**[18:38] Hinawa**
What did meddling with
her abilities feel like?
**[18:40] Maki**
I sensed some kind of
power in her right arm,
**[18:43] Maki**
but it felt more like heat than flames.
**[18:46] Maki**
I wasn't able to take control of it.
**[18:51] Gold**
We Destroyers are experts
in countering powers.
**[18:56] Gold**
You seem quite impressive
for the second generation,
**[18:58] Gold**
but you cannot cope with this.
**[19:14] Joker**
Crap. That was fast, wasn't it?
**[19:19] Joker**
He's already entered Stage II.
**[19:24] Joker**
At this rate, he's just gonna get
harder and harder to handle.
**[19:28] Joker**
Or maybe I should say it's already too late.
**[19:39] Vulcan**
Licht! Have you figured out anything
about the enemy's abilities?
**[19:42] Licht**
It seems like that golden
right arm holds some secrets,
**[19:46] Licht**
but that's all I have right now.
**[19:48] Licht**
But I promise that I will find the answers.
**[19:51] Licht**
Because combat and analysis are
how the Fire Force fights.
**[19:55] Vulcan**
You got that right.
**[19:57] Vulcan**
Analysis will be done soon!
**[19:58] Tamaki**
Great!
**[20:00] Hinawa**
And we're regrouping!
**[20:02] Maki; Tamaki**
Yes, sir!
**[20:04] Gold**
What was that? A discussion about money?
**[20:06] Gold**
But even should you try to bribe
me, it will be to no avail.
**[20:09] Gold**
A break in the flow of money is
a break in the flow of luck.
**[20:12] Gold**
Even alone, I am more than enough
of a match for all of you.
**[20:19] Tamaki**
I'm gonna do this!
**[20:20] Tamaki**
Hey! I'm gonna make you regret
underestimating the 8th, you jerk!
**[20:24] Maki**
It doesn't matter how
many of you come at us!
**[20:26] Vulcan**
We'll just force our way through here!

Gold itself is not magnetic.

And all those who have

Gold isn't affected by magnetism

***SIGN*** Don't care
**[05:59] Vulcan**
Doesn't that mean she can't be using magnets?
**[06:03] Licht**
No. This is where heat becomes an issue.
**[06:06] Licht**
When gold is exposed to heat, it has
the potential to become magnetic.
**[06:12] Licht**
Gold's power, the heat energy she emits
as a third generation pyrokinetic,
**[06:17] Licht**
is funneled through her gauntlet
and transformed into magnetism,
**[06:20] Licht**
allowing her to control metal objects.
**[06:24] Maki**
It can't be! She took Tekkyo!
**[06:26] Licht**
Bullets and Tekkyo are made of steel.
**[06:29] Licht**
They're completely vulnerable
to magnetic influence.
**[06:31] Gold**
I procure local weapons
for my assassinations.
**[06:35] Gold**
It doesn't cost any money
that way. Ka-ching!
**[06:44] Vulcan**
Don't, Lieutenant!
**[06:45] Vulcan**
If you shoot, you'll only be
giving her more weapons!
**[06:53] Hinawa**
She'll even use a discarded gun barrel?
**[07:01] Hinawa**
Another round incoming!
**[07:07] Gold**
You're quite quick, aren't you?
**[07:12] Tamaki**
I'll keep disrupting her attacks like this...
**[07:13] Tamaki**
and use Vulcan's hand-crafted boosters!
**[07:16] Maki**
Vulcan, what are those?
**[07:17] Vulcan**
I made them from a mix of finely
powdered iron oxide and aluminum!
**[07:21] Vulcan**
Mechanical tech to boost firepower!
**[07:23] Vulcan**
Set fire to those and you'll
trigger a thermite reaction,
**[07:27] Vulcan**
and you get super
high-temperature flames!
**[07:32] (Flashback) Vulcan**
Tech that'll increase firepower?
**[07:35] (Flashback) Vulcan**
I thought your training
in Asakusa was a success.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Tamaki**
Yeah. I think I've improved
my techniques and my speed.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Tamaki**
But compared to Shinra and Arthur,
I have fundamentally weaker firepower.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Vulcan**
Well, sure, compared to those two...
**[07:51] (Flashback) Tamaki**
I think our enemies are going
to get tougher from here, so...
**[07:56] (Flashback) Tamaki**
If there's anything I can do that
might help everyone, I want to do it.
**[08:03] (Flashback) Tamaki**
Will you help me?
**[08:07] (Flashback) Vulcan**
All right. If that's what you're
after, just leave it to me!
**[08:11] (Flashback) Vulcan**
I'll make you something great!
**[08:15] Destroyer B**
Oh?
**[08:16] Stream**
What impressive firepower.
**[08:18] Vulcan**
All right! Go!
**[08:19] Tamaki**
Nekomata Giant Fireball!
**[08:22] Tamaki**
Take this!
**[08:25] Gold**
Huh.
**[08:37] Tamaki**
It can't be.
**[08:41] Gold**
The average assassin
couldn't withstand that.
**[08:44] Gold**
But we Destroyers excel at
assassinating those with powers.
**[08:49] Gold**
Consequently, we also have
a high resistance to fire.
**[08:59] Maki**
Tamaki-chan!
**[09:07] Tamaki**
I can't move.
**[09:16] Tamaki**
That was close!
**[09:17] Tamaki**
My lucky lecher curse saved me.
**[09:20] Maki**
That's a relief! Though her lecher
curse is the same as always.
**[09:24] Hinawa**
All the parts that comprise
Special Fire Force uniforms
**[09:26] Hinawa**
are made of Haijima's
heat-resistant plastics.
**[09:29] Hinawa**
The only metal component is on the belt.
**[09:32] Hinawa**
Which means!
**[09:37] Vulcan**
You mean we do this?
**[09:40] Gold**
How unsightly.
**[09:41] Hinawa**
We strip every year for the nude calendar!
We feel no shame!
**[09:48] Gold**
Does it pay that well?
**[09:50] Hinawa**
Since you live in the Nether,
it seems you don't know.
**[09:53] Hinawa**
It sells like crazy!
**[09:58] Vulcan**
So she can't yank our bodies around anymore,
**[10:00] Vulcan**
but if Tamaki's giant fireball
didn't work on her, what do we do?
**[10:04] Vulcan**
If we can't do something about her magnetism,
we can't use our weapons!
**[10:08] Lisa**
Problems?
**[10:12] Lisa**
You're dressed like that teddy
bear. What're you doing?
**[10:15] Vulcan**
This isn't funny!
Lisa, hurry up and take your belt off!
**[10:20] Lisa**
Have you forgotten what my power is?
**[10:25] Lisa**
Fishing Fire!
**[10:27] Lisa**
My flames are magnetic.
**[10:30] Lisa**
They should disrupt her magnetic
fields at least a little.
**[10:34] Vulcan**
Lisa!
**[10:35] Maki**
Will you be all right fighting?
**[10:41] Lisa**
I'm a former Feeler of the
Knights of the Ashen Flame.
**[10:45] Lisa**
I can't sit around hesitating
at a time like this!
**[10:49] Lisa**
I was your enemy,
but Captain Obi welcomed me in.
**[10:54] Lisa**
Maybe my feelings don't
run quite deep enough...
**[10:57] Lisa**
but I want to save Captain Obi!
**[11:01] Lisa**
All I can do is buy you time, Vul.
**[11:04] Vulcan**
Leave it to me!
**[11:06] Vulcan**
*Licht!*
**[11:07] Vulcan**
* The way you were talking,*
* you've come up with a plan, right?*
**[11:13] Licht**
Of course!
**[11:14] Licht**
I am the 8th's science officer, after all!
***SIGN*** Fire Force
***SIGN*** Chapter 3
***SIGN*** Fire Force
***SIGN*** Chapter 3
**[11:27] Licht**
The enemy, Gold, is a
third generation pyrokinetic.
**[11:31] Licht**
Haphazard flames won't work on her.
**[11:34] Licht**
The most effective attack method is not flames,
but one unconcerned with heat resistance...
**[11:36] Maki**
Oh, no! My shield is...
**[11:39] Licht**
A final blow from Lieutenant Hinawa's gun.
**[11:42] Licht**
The enemy has a perfect
target on her forehead,
***SIGN*** Alchemical Symbol for Gold
**[11:44] Licht**
but her magnetic fields will interfere.
**[11:47] Licht**
So it is necessary to first render
her magnetism ineffective.
**[11:51] Licht**
For example, ferromagnetism could be used
**[11:54] Licht**
to stop the magnetism produced
by her gold gauntlet.
**[11:56] Vulcan**
By "ferromagnetism," you mean materials
**[11:58] Vulcan**
that'll disrupt magnetic fields, right?
Where would we get any?
**[12:01] Licht**
They're everywhere.
**[12:07] Licht**
Iron!
**[12:08] Licht**
We'll cover Gold's golden gauntlet in iron.
**[12:12] Vulcan**
But she can control iron! It's impossible!
**[12:15] Licht**
Definitely impossible, normally.
**[12:18] Licht**
And that's why this is something only
the Special Fire Force can accomplish.
**[12:19] Licht**
* And that's why this is something only*
* the Special Fire Force can accomplish.*
**[12:23] Destroyer B**
Gold, how long will you
continue to amuse yourself?
**[12:26] Stream**
Time is money, isn't it?
**[12:29] Stream**
Hurry up and destroy them.
**[12:30] Gold**
They have no more moves left.
They are finished.
**[12:34] Stream**
Are you bluffing again?
**[12:35] Gold**
Silence.
**[12:39] Lisa**
Fishing Fire!
**[12:47] Gold**
What's this? Did I make
a mistake in my control?
**[12:50] Vulcan**
Good work, Lisa!
**[12:52] Lisa**
Given my magnetism's power,
**[12:53] Lisa**
once she gets used to it,
she'll counter it, and that's the end!
**[12:56] Lisa**
Vul, we don't have much time! Please hurry!
**[12:58] Vulcan**
Will do!
**[12:59] Vulcan**
Licht, what is this thing that only
the Special Fire Force can do?
**[13:03] Vulcan**
* Licht, what is this thing that only*
* the Special Fire Force can do?*
**[13:04] Licht**
Are you ready? Please listen closely!
**[13:12] Vulcan**
I see. You're right! That method will work!
**[13:15] Licht**
* First, Soldier Tamaki,*
* please have your flames at the ready!*
**[13:18] Tamaki**
I didn't really understand any of that.
**[13:21] Tamaki**
What are you trying to make me do?
**[13:24] Vulcan**
Licht, we're okay to go here!
**[13:26] Tamaki**
Again, what are you making me do?!
**[13:28] Vulcan**
Maki-san.
**[13:29] Maki**
Leave it to me.
**[13:30] Tamaki**
Hey!
**[13:36] Vulcan**
Let's start cooking.
**[13:37] Maki**
Tamaki, form a pot with your tails.
**[13:39] Tamaki**
Huh?
**[13:43] Vulcan**
Don't spill anything.
**[13:45] Tamaki**
Hey, wait!
**[13:47] Vulcan**
First, we melt this iron refuse.
**[13:49] Tamaki**
My caboose?
**[13:49] Vulcan**
Iron refuse!
**[13:50] Tamaki**
Hang on! My flames aren't
hot enough to melt iron!
**[13:54] Licht**
*To melt iron,*
**[13:56] Licht**
we'll need about 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
**[13:59] Licht**
*Vulcan-san, can we do it?*
**[14:00] Vulcan**
Leave it to me. First,
we trigger a thermite reaction.
**[14:04] Tamaki**
Huh?
**[14:04] Vulcan**
You ready, Maki-san?
**[14:05] Maki**
Okay!
**[14:06] Tamaki**
Hey! What are you using my butt for?!
**[14:17] Vulcan**
It's still nowhere near hot enough!
**[14:21] Tamaki**
Huh?!
**[14:22] Tamaki**
What now? What are you doing now?!
**[14:24] Vulcan**
Highly concentrated oxygen
meant for breathing.
**[14:27] Vulcan**
We'll use these to raise the
temperature to 2,800 degrees!
**[14:30] Tamaki**
Y-You'll what?!
**[14:37] Gold**
You're using magnetism
to interfere, are you?
**[14:41] Gold**
But I've already grown accustomed to it.
**[14:47] Lisa**
Vul! Is it ready yet?
**[14:52] Gold**
You there! What are you
trying to do so stealthily?
**[14:55] Vulcan**
Lisa, thanks for holding out for us!
**[14:57] Vulcan**
Tamaki, go!
**[15:03] Gold**
And what is that?
**[15:07] Gold**
Is that iron? If it is, I shall use
my magnetism to take it from—
**[15:13] Licht**
Sorry, but iron heated to over
770 degrees changes composition.
**[15:18] Licht**
It is no longer magnetic!
**[15:25] Gold**
My gauntlet!
**[15:26] Vulcan**
The gauntlet's useless!
**[15:28] Vulcan**
Now you won't be able to use magnetism!
**[15:30] Vulcan**
If you think you can stop us,
go ahead and try!
**[15:34] Tamaki**
Lieutenant Hinawa!
**[15:40] Gold**
Wait.
**[15:43] Stream; Destroyer B**
Huh?
**[15:55] Vulcan**
You did it.
**[15:59] Stream**
Gold...
**[16:01] destroyer B**
...has been defeated.
**[16:04] Stream**
To think she truly was bluffing.
I will go next.
**[16:09] destroyer B**
Do as you like.
**[16:10] Stream**
There will be no need for you to step in.
**[16:12] Stream**
Nor for him, of course.
**[16:17] Tamaki**
Did you see that? That's the 8th's teamwork!
**[16:20] Tamaki**
You three could've fought us together,
but you underestimated us!
**[16:24] Stream**
Unfortunately, we only know
how to fight alone, you see?
**[16:30] Stream**
Next, I, Stream,
shall serve as your opponent.
**[16:33] Stream**
Blow, Anna!
**[16:36] Vulcan**
What is it this time?
**[16:38] Vulcan**
*Licht!*
**[16:39] Licht**
The video feed is clear! Beginning
analysis of the enemy's abilities!
**[16:44] Hinawa**
Tamaki, be careful!
**[16:45] Tamaki**
If it's flames, my resistance will handle it!
**[16:55] Maki**
Tamaki-chan?
**[16:56] Hinawa**
His attacks use something
other than flame or heat?
**[16:58] Licht**
Given Soldier Tamaki's injuries, the enemy
is using air currents caused by fire
**[17:04] Licht**
and attacking with whirlwinds
or the vacuums caused by them.
**[17:11] Stream**
Anna and Erica!
**[17:16] Stream**
Kris and Kate!
**[17:20] Stream**
Where are you aiming?
**[17:22] Licht**
He's fast! My analysis can't keep up!
**[17:24] Stream**
First, we have the powerful Erica!
**[17:30] Maki**
Lieutenant!
**[17:31] Stream**
Die.
**[17:38] Stream**
Are you from the 8th, as well?
There was another one?
**[17:44] Arthur**
I am the Knight King, Arthur Boyle.
**[17:48] Arthur**
I have no name to give the likes of you.
**[17:51] Stream**
I see. Arthur Boyle, is it?
**[17:54] Stream**
Then you shall meet my four beauties

I'd have found Sho sooner.
**[19:00] Shinra**
And Sho, too! Why'd he have
to suffer through all that?!
**[19:04] Shinra**
Captain Burns, why do you
keep helping the White Clad?
**[19:08] Burns**
I am but a servant doing God's work.
**[19:12] Shinra**
You are a priest and a fire soldier!
**[19:14] Shinra**
Isn't it a fire soldier's duty
to protect the people?!
**[19:18] Burns**
Even before we are priest and fire soldier,
both you and I are merely humans.
**[19:25] Burns**
I have long prayed for this
empire, for this world.
**[19:31] Burns**
My prayers lack for nothing.
**[19:34] Burns**
The truth of human combustion.
Sho. Your mother.
**[19:40] Burns**
What have you sought all this time?
**[19:44] Burns**
None of your wishes have come true.
**[19:49] Burns**
And you will continue to be
unable to achieve anything.
**[19:52] Shinra**
I swore that I'd become a hero!
**[19:55] Shinra**
I will save everything!
**[20:03] Burns**
Implant the Insect in Obi!
**[20:11] Burns**
Your wishes...
**[20:14] Shinra**
Stop!

A... A knight's excitement.
**[09:23] Arthur**
My Excalibur's first strike is a deadly one!
There will not be a second.
**[09:27] Arthur**
That's what I'd like to say, but when
it's a dragon I'm facing, I can't!
**[09:32] Arthur**
Dragon! I shall continue to wield
Excalibur until you are defeated!
**[09:36] Arthur**
I, the Knight King, am determined
to face you with everything I have!
**[09:49] Arthur; internal**
*What? With his dragonic pressure alone?*
**[09:52] Arthur; internal**
*Now this is true dragonic pressure!*
**[09:58] Dragon**
You do not simply retreat.
You also attack as you do so.
**[10:05] Dragon**
You aim precisely
**[10:08] Dragon**
for the heart of a human,
or the core of an Infernal.
**[10:12] Dragon**
And your skills are good for your age.
**[10:15] Dragon**
But I am Dragon!
***SIGN*** Dragon
**[10:22] Dragon**
I see. Your strength grows even greater.
**[10:25] Arthur**
Dragon!
**[10:31] Iris**
The person he's fighting is
so big and seems so strong.
**[10:34] Iris**
Will Arthur-san be all right?
**[10:37] Licht**
Soldier Arthur's ignition power
depends on the image he creates.
**[10:41] Licht**
Having found a powerful, ideal opponent,
**[10:43] Licht**
he's working with the strongest
image he's ever had.
**[10:46] Licht**
I don't think anyone could stop
Soldier Arthur right now.
**[10:54] Dragon**
The strength of your flame
and the way you wield it...
**[10:56] Dragon**
You've achieved true mastery.
**[11:00] Arthur**
My sword's... My sword... blade...
**[11:05] Vulcan**
He's the best opponent Arthur could ask for.
**[11:08] Vulcan**
It's just bad luck for the old guy he's fighting.
**[11:14] Lisa**
Lieutenant, why don't you use that gun to
back up Arthur instead of staring at it?
**[11:18] Hinawa**
I've already fired several shots.
**[11:21] Hinawa**
And they should've been more than backup.
I fired several lethal shots.
**[11:30] Hinawa**
But none of them did any damage.
**[11:33] Hinawa**
I suspect Arthur's attacks are the same.
**[11:36] Maki**
And isn't it strange?
**[11:39] Maki**
Arthur is attacking,
and Dragon isn't doing anything,
**[11:46] Maki**
but Arthur's the one who's hurt!

**[12:00] Dragon**
It seems you are weak after all, human.
**[12:03] Arthur**
And Dragon, you are an impressive dragon.
**[12:07] Arthur**
A dragon of your caliber
is no ordinary dragon!
**[12:13] Arthur**
I will defeat you...
**[12:16] Arthur**
and I will become a dragon slayer!
**[12:21] Maki**
All he did was get close
enough to attack again!
**[12:23] Dragon**
Weak indeed. You're wounded by my scales?
***SIGN*** Dragon Scale
**[12:33] Dragon**
Dragon Scale!
**[12:35] Maki**
What? The place where he's been cut...
**[12:40] Arthur**
The fearsome Dragon Scale.
**[12:45] Licht**
We're too far away for me to see clearly,
but those scales...
**[12:48] Licht**
They're like an Infernal's body!
**[12:56] Dragon**
You did well for a human.
**[13:09] Vulcan**
Arthur, are you okay? Hang in there!
**[13:12] Licht**
What's with that arm?
**[13:13] Licht**
It's dark and hardened,
just like an Infernal's would be!
**[13:18] Dragon**
Your ignition powers are strengthened
by the images in your mind.
**[13:21] Dragon**
That was a good approach.
**[13:23] Dragon**
But you haven't grasped the Adolla yet.
**[13:26] Arthur**
What?
**[13:30] Dragon**
If you only use the power of one side,
that's as far as you'll go.
**[13:42] Licht**
He's able to transform his body
into that of an Infernal at will!
**[13:46] Licht**
It can't be! That's impossible!
**[13:51] Karim**
Huo Yan!
**[13:52] Karim**
You've been here of all places?
**[13:55] Huo Yan**
What is it, Karim?
**[13:56] Karim**
Rekka's work records.
**[13:59] Karim**
I've been looking through Rekka's past
**[14:01] Karim**
and the records of his away
missions while he served,

**[14:03] Karim**
and I found something weird.
**[14:05] Huo Yan**
What did you find? What's wrong?
**[14:08] Karim**
Rekka frequently visited an orphanage.
**[14:12] Karim**
The place where the 5th's Captain Hibana
and the 8th's Sister came from,
**[14:15] Karim**
and where they were suspected
of researching doppelgangers.
**[14:20] Huo Yan**
That means...
**[14:21] Karim**
Yeah. Rekka was somehow
connected to doppelgangers.
**[14:29] Hibana**
Doppelgangers.
**[14:31] Hibana**
Konro said that it's like
a mirror image of you,
**[14:34] Hibana**
a Demon Infernal, comes from Adolla.
**[14:40] Hibana**
Are the Demon Infernals trying to kill
the real people and become them?
**[14:48] Hibana**
Is there some kind of close connection
between doppelgangers and human combustion?
**[14:53] Hibana**
If I can identify what
doppelgangers really are,
**[14:56] Hibana**
maybe I'll also be able to solve the mystery
of spontaneous human combustion!
**[15:14] Licht**
This man who calls himself Dragon is even
more of a special case than we thought!
**[15:19] Hinawa**
You mean he isn't an ordinary human?
**[15:22] Maki**
But if that's true, Arthur will be
able to go deeper into his imagination
**[15:26] Maki**
and grow stronger.
**[15:27] Lisa**
We're counting on you, Arthur!
**[15:29] Tamaki**
Don't worry! I've never seen
Arthur this serious before!
**[15:38] Arthur**
Stay back, Vulcan.
**[15:40] Vulcan**
I will. Be careful!
**[15:43] Vulcan**
You can do this! He's the dragon
you've been searching for!
**[15:50] Arthur**
He's finally using
Extreme Dragonic Pressure!
**[15:56] Arthur**
The outer Dragon becomes
possessed by his inner dragon.
**[15:59] Arthur**
Dragon Suit!
**[16:04] Arthur**
This is the first time I've seen it.
**[16:06] Arthur**
This guy must have accumulated a
huge amount of Dragonic Experience.
**[16:11] Dragon**
Die nobly, human.
**[16:14] Arthur**
Defend your Knight King, Plasmantle!
**[16:27] Vulcan**
Was that really him just exhaling?
How's Arthur?
**[16:37] Vulcan**
Is that... a cape made of plasma?
**[16:43] Arthur**
Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword!
**[16:48] Hinawa**
His output has increased even more.
**[16:49] Maki**
He's incredible!
**[16:51] Arthur**
If not for this sword and cape I found in
the caldera, that would have ended badly.
**[16:55] Dragon**
What's this about a caldera, whelp?
**[16:58] Dragon**
The heat of a volcano's mouth
amounts to very little!
**[17:05] Vulcan**
Get him, Arthur! You're the Knight King!
**[17:08] Tamaki**
You can do it, Knight King!
**[17:11] Arthur**
A holy blow that shall slay the dragon!
**[17:15] Arthur**
Excalibur!
**[17:32] Arthur; internal**
Excalibur is...
**[17:43] Dragon**
You didn't quite manage to slay the dragon.
**[17:48] Maki**
Arthur! Hang in there!

Before me lies nothing
that can hold me at bay.

I will take all of your attacks.
**[18:41] Burns**
That is my duty!
**[18:44] Joker**
You're so bound by duty, it's exhausting.
**[18:49] Burns**
You left your organization,
and you've lived in darkness.
**[18:53] Burns**
Has your freedom changed this empire?
**[18:58] Joker**
The ones to change the empire won't be dark
heroes like me who live in the shadows.
**[19:04] Joker**
It'll be real heroes.
**[19:08] Burns**
Come! I shall take whatever attack you make!
**[19:25] Burns**

"Beyond Prayer's End"
**[03:12] (Flashback) priest A**
That child's ability to concentrate
on prayer is incredible.
**[03:26] (Flashback) head priest**
Your baptismal name shall be Leonard,
the lion who dispels evil.
**[03:33] (Flashback) head priest**
Engrave that way of life
into your very being.
**[03:38] (Flashback) young Burns**
I am honored.
**[03:41] (Flashback) young Burns**
Látom.
**[03:44] (Flashback) young Joker**
Are you still praying, Leonard Burns?
**[03:49] (Flashback) young Joker**
Even though you carry a distrust of
this empire, this world, within you?
**[03:54] (Flashback) young Joker**
You're certainly working hard.
I'm impressed.
**[03:58] (Flashback) young Joker**
We both exchanged one eye for a glimpse
of the dissonance in this world.
**[04:02] (Flashback) young Joker**
Why would you pray after that?
**[04:04] (Flashback) young Joker**
To whom? For what? And to what purpose?
**[04:09] (Flashback) young Joker**
Did your remaining eye get crushed?
**[04:12] (Flashback) young Joker**
Wake up already.
**[04:19] (Flashback) young Joker**
There you go again, not saying a word.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Burns**
There is no need to put
my actions into words.
**[04:26] (Flashback) Burns**
I am a priest who serves God.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Burns**
No matter what may happen,
**[04:31] (Flashback) Burns**
I will continue to pray.
**[04:34] (Flashback) young Joker**
Hey, Burns. You ever heard
of the word "freedom"?
**[04:39] (Flashback) Burns**
You're one of Holy Sol's Shadows.
You have no freedom, so why speak of it?
**[04:44] (Flashback) young Joker**
That's why I want to be free.
**[04:48] (Flashback) young Joker**
If nothing else, I want to think freely.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Burns**
I have always believed in God.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Burns**
The form of my belief has not changed.
**[04:58] (Flashback) young Joker**
Even if God isn't there?
**[05:00] (Flashback) Burns**
Even then.
**[05:01] (Flashback) young Joker**
Isn't it suffocating, living that way?

*If God is not there,*

*No, my prayers have wanted for nothing.*
**[06:20] Burns; internal**
* Pure, innocent prayer.*
* Praying itself was the objective.*
**[06:24] Burns; internal**
* And now I have found it—*
* the destination of my prayers.*
**[06:28] (Flashback) young Joker**
Did you give up?
**[06:32] Burns**
My prayers have wanted for
nothing. In which case...
**[06:37] Burns**
I need only serve the end
which lies beyond prayer.
**[06:43] Joker**
You're just a bumbling old guy
causing problems for everyone.
**[06:45] Burns**
One day, you will all understand, too.
**[06:47] Shinra**
I'm never giving up!
**[06:55] Burns**
I've already told you!
**[06:57] Burns**
If that's your intent, then show
you can surpass me, young man!
**[07:45] Burns**
It will not be an old soldier like me
who destroys order and discipline!
**[07:56] Burns**
You're still too far.
**[07:59] Shinra**

**[08:11] Burns**
Even old soldiers have their pride!
**[08:14] Shinra**
If you're talking about pride, new soldiers...
**[08:16] Shinra**
We new soldiers have it, too!
**[08:25] Burns**
If that's all you've got, you won't
be able to change a single thing!
**[08:31] Shinra**
I'm still... just getting started!
**[08:36] Joker**
A fight between the kid's
pride and the old man's...
**[08:40] Joker**
This fight is never gonna end until
the kid surpasses the old man.
**[08:57] Shinra**
If you wanna take a spin with me that badly...

He's a mass of energy. Is he planning to
compel submission through brute force?
**[09:29] Shinra**
I'm still not getting enough speed!
**[09:31] Shinra**
Kinetic energy equals
mass times acceleration.
**[09:34] Shinra**
If I go fast enough, I'll never lose
to anyone in a battle of strength!
**[09:40] Shinra**
I've gotta go faster!
**[09:42] Burns**
Is this all...
**[09:45] Burns**
your strength of will amounts to?!

*There's no time to rest!*

**[10:32] Burns**
Just as you struggle in this fight,
you are merely struggling against the world!
**[10:37] Shinra**
If you don't know what to do,
then struggling's all that's left!
**[10:41] Shinra**
Or should young people just
agree and obey without a fight?
**[10:44] Shinra**
Is that what you want?!
**[10:54] Burns**
Do I look like a man who
would despise such things?

Don't think you know me!

**[13:54] Burns**
Is that all you've got, Devil?
What of your feelings about heroes?
**[13:59] Burns**
Is this all you amount to, Shinra?!
**[14:02] Burns**
God desires destruction.
**[14:05] Burns**
I am God's servant.
**[14:07] Burns**
I simply follow that path!
**[14:11] Burns**
If you would call that raising
the banner of rebellion,
**[14:14] Burns**
then I shall fight against

**[14:17] Burns**
You can't even beat one old man,

Once I accelerate, no one can stop me!

No matter what kind of conflagration
this world tries to start...
**[16:12] Shinra**
my feet...
**[16:15] Shinra**

**[16:45] Shinra**
Sweat? Right.
**[16:48] Shinra**
I've been sweating, haven't I?
**[16:52] Shinra**
Being in that insane heat
made my sweat vaporize.

**[17:22] Burns**
The fires of the world are big, Shinra.
**[17:29] Burns**
But it is the young people who carry hope.
**[17:34] Shinra**
Will you acknowledge me a little now?
**[17:37] Burns**
You've pushed me this far,
so a little more than before.
**[17:46] Burns**
You've grown stronger.
**[17:49] Shinra**
Why didn't you dodge my attacks even once?
**[17:53] Burns**
Shinra, young people like you
are this world's resistance.
**[17:59] Burns**
As an old man, all I can do is
accept what you send my way.
**[18:06] Joker**
It really is such a cumbersome way to live.
**[18:10] Joker**
You said the Evangelist is
the voice of this world.
**[18:14] Burns**
If this world—
**[18:16] Burns**
if God—is trying to turn
toward destruction,
**[18:21] Burns**
then all an old geezer
like me can do is obey.
**[18:25] Burns**
This eye of mine that I left
in the past can see only ruin.
**[18:30] Burns**
Show me you can change it,
**[18:32] Burns**
and grow stronger than this world.

Yeah.
**[18:44] Haumea**
A new Pillar has been born.
**[18:48] Shinra**
An Adolla Link.
**[19:08] Shinra**
A Demon Infernal? And one of its eyes is...
**[19:12] Shinra**
A doppelganger?
**[19:21] Dragon**
People equal dust.
**[19:25] Dragon**
Return to the dust whence you came.
**[19:28] Licht**
D-Dragon is...
**[19:33] Maki**
I'll stop it. Please stand back!
**[19:35] Dragon**
What can a mere human do?
**[19:37] Hinawa**
Maki!
**[19:43] Maki; internal**
*What? This...*
**[19:46] Maki; internal**
*will kill me.*
**[19:47] Maki; internal**
*I can't block it.*
**[20:10] Destroyer B**
Blown away, were they?
**[20:14] Maki**
What?
**[20:15] Vulcan**
We're alive?
**[20:18] Hinawa**
Maki, are you hurt?
**[20:19] Vulcan**
That was amazing, Maki-san! You blocked it!
**[20:22] Maki**
What? I thought we didn't stand a chance.
**[20:27] Dragon**
Was that divine Grace?
**[20:32] Iris**
They're safe! That's Maki-san for you!
**[20:41] Shinra**
Captain Burns, that's—
**[20:43] Burns**
Stay back!
**[20:44] Burns**
I told you not to interfere, Haumea.
**[20:52] Shinra**
Captain Burns!
**[20:53] Joker**
Shinra! Remember why you came here!
**[20:56] Shinra**
But—
**[20:57] Joker**
We don't know how long Obi will last.
**[21:02] Burns**
Run, Shinra.
**[21:05] Burns**
52, I leave the rest to you!
**[21:08] Burns**
Go, Shinra!
**[21:12] Joker**
Don't look back! Let's go.
**[21:13] Shinra**
But we can't...
**[21:25] Burns; internal**
*Pray.*
**[21:27] Burns; internal**
*My prayers asked for nothing...*
**[21:32] Burns; internal**
*but here at the end, I beg of you.*
**[21:41] Haumea**
That went well.
**[21:45] Haumea**
Thank you for your excellent hard work,
my friends from the 8th!
**[21:49] Haumea**
Now, let's see...
**[21:51] Haumea**
I'll leave it to you.
**[21:53] Destroyer B**
Understood.
**[21:54] Haumea**
We have no more need of them.
Kill everyone but the Pillar.
**[21:59] Hinawa**
I'll be the rear guard!
**[22:01] Hinawa**
We'll rescue Captain Obi and
leave as fast as we can!
**[22:03] Arrow**
This is the end of the 8th, isn't it?
**[22:06] Inca**
How incredibly tenacious!
They're going to survive?
**[22:10] Ritsu**
There's no chance of survival.
Being tenacious won't be enough.
**[22:20] Destroyer B**
Wh-Who are you?
**[22:22] Destroyer B**
Faint.

Hey you! Hold on a—

Fire brigade standards...

And those clothes...
**[02:34] Haumea**
You're Benimaru from the 7th, aren't you?
**[02:37] Benimaru**
I am Moonlite Mask.
**[02:41] (Flashback) Konro**
We may be from Asakusa, but we can't
afford to become enemies of the empire.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Benimaru**
And that means I gotta wear this thing?
**[02:50] (Flashback) Konro**
And fasten your happi the other way, too.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Konro**
Listen closely, Waka.
**[02:55] (Flashback) Konro**
The words you'll use to trick
them are, "Just a moment!"
**[03:01] Benimaru**
Just a moment! I am Moonlite Ma—
**[03:05] Hinawa**
Captain Shinmon!
**[03:14] Benimaru**
Grab hold of those standards while you can!
**[03:27] Inca**
What is that?
**[03:29] Inca**
He controls all the heat within
a four-meter radius of himself?
**[03:37] Inca**
Moon... Moonlight...
**[03:40] Benimaru**
"Just a moment"?
What's that supposed to mean?
**[03:53] Joker**
Obi, good work holding out.
**[03:56] Obi**
That was close. I thought I was going to die.
**[03:59] Joker**
Let's get moving. The White Clad
have us surrounded.
**[04:03] Obi**
Shinra, what happened to Captain Burns?
**[04:06] Shinra**
A Demon Infernal. It was right in front of me.
**[04:10] Shinra**
It got Captain Burns.
**[04:16] Shinra**
I couldn't protect him.
**[04:19] Shinra**
He said he'd leave everything to me, but I...
**[04:27] Obi**
I see.
**[04:28] Obi**
So Captain Burns entrusted
everything to you.
**[04:33] Shinra**
Captain Burns took on
everything I threw at him.
**[04:38] Obi**
Captain Burns fought for the sake
of this empire to the very end.
**[04:48] Obi**
Let's protect this empire.
**[04:52] Shinra; internal**
*Right now, I'm...*
**[04:55] Shinra; internal**
*This spot... is so warm.*
**[05:00] Shinra; internal**
*His back is so broad.*
**[05:03] Shinra; internal**
*It's so reassuring.*
**[05:06] Shinra; internal**
* This is what the world—*
* the empire—needs to become.*
**[05:12] Benimaru**
Grab on to my standards! We're pulling back!
**[05:16] Licht**
We're so high!
**[05:17] Maki**
I feel like I've become an actual witch!
**[05:23] Hinawa**
Captain Obi! You're safe!
**[05:25] Obi**
Yeah! Lieutenant Hinawa,
thank you for making it this far!
**[05:28] Joker**
You guys go on ahead.
**[05:35] Joker**
Mr. Strongest, you get out
of here, too. I'll cover you.
**[05:38] Benimaru**
Looks like there are some people here
who might be worth fighting, though.
**[05:42] Joker**
Not even you could take them all on alone.
**[05:45] Joker**
Wait, maybe you could.
**[05:47] Benimaru**
Maybe. But there's a crazy
one in there, you know?
**[05:53] Benimaru**
Iai Chop, Form One...
**[05:56] Benimaru**
Kagetsu!
**[06:00] Charon**

**[06:04] Benimaru**
Wow. This place is full of monsters.
**[06:13] Benimaru**
Iai Chop, Form Seven...
**[06:16] Benimaru**
Nichirin!
**[06:21] Dragon**
Did you swat a mosquito?
**[06:24] Benimaru**
He's a beast.
**[06:25] Joker**
Hey, are you goofing around?
**[06:28] Benimaru**
Iai Chop, Form Two...
**[06:31] Benimaru**
Gekko!
**[06:37] Haumea**
Everything seems to have gone perfectly.
**[06:40] Charon**
It all went according to
your plan, didn't it?
**[06:45] Haumea**
Yeah.
**[06:46] Haumea**
Amaterasu, Sho, Shinra, Inca,
Nataku, me, and now that other one...
**[06:55] Haumea**
Today, all the Pillars were in one place.
**[06:59] Haumea**
Everything is in place.
**[07:03] Haumea**
Make the final preparations!

The day when this planet burns
to nothing is nearly upon us.

**[07:23] Benimaru**
Don't.
**[07:25] Benimaru**
We've got injured. Look after them for me.
**[07:28] Kanro**
Looks like you made it out safely, Obi.
**[07:31] Kanro**
Is Shinra all right?
**[07:33] Obi**
Yes. Can you take him?
**[07:35] Obi**
His life isn't in any danger right now.
**[07:38] solder from the 7th B**
We've got severe injuries over here! Hurry!
**[07:40] Vulcan**
Hang in there, Arthur!
**[07:42] Vulcan**
We used first-aid spray
to stop the bleeding!
**[07:44] Vulcan**
Please get everything ready to treat him!
**[07:45] Konro**
Carry that stretcher carefully!
Don't shake it!
**[07:48] soldier from the 7th A**
We'll check the rest of you
soldiers, too! This way!
**[07:50] Obi**
Thanks for taking us in.
**[07:53] Obi**
If you hadn't arrived,
we'd have gotten wiped out.
**[07:57] Benimaru**
Well, we did exchange cups
of sake with the 8th.
**[08:01] Benimaru**
What happened between you and the empire?
**[08:04] Benimaru**
Can you tell me what's going on?
**[08:09] Obi**
The Holy Sol Temple and the
Evangelist's crew have joined forces.
**[08:13] Obi**
Because of that, the 8th is being
cut off within the empire.
**[08:18] Konro**
Looks like your instincts were right, Waka.
**[08:21] Benimaru**
My instincts never work for gambling,
but with this stuff...
**[08:28] Benimaru**
Is what you just said true?
**[08:31] Obi**
Yes.
**[08:32] Obi**
Captain Burns of the 1st martyred himself.
**[08:36] Konro**
You said a Demon Infernal got him, right?
**[08:39] Konro**
Was it one of those doppelgangers
that Hibana was talking about?
**[08:44] Obi**
But the responsibility for the
crime of killing Captain Burns
**[08:48] Obi**
will fall upon the 8th.
**[08:50] Obi**
That way, the union between the empire and
the White Clad will grow even stronger.
**[08:55] Konro**
We're heading for the
worst possible scenario.
**[08:58] Benimaru**
Why did Burns go through with that battle?
**[09:02] Benimaru**
To isolate the 8th even more?
**[09:06] Benimaru**
No. That's not what that guy's made of.

How could I forget?

Karim, Huo Yan.
**[10:11] (Flashback) Burns**
All this time, I have
devoted myself to prayer.
**[10:15] (Flashback) Burns**
I can't change the way I live now.

You are the ones who can change this world.

Look after this place while I'm gone.

Kishiri, wait there.
**[13:12] Kishiri**
I'm your guard. I can't be too far from—
**[13:14] Hibana**
Do not enter the convent, you filthy gravel.
**[13:17] Kishiri**
What?
**[13:18] Hibana**
If anything happens, I'll call for you.
**[13:21] Kishiri**
I came all the way out to the
outskirts of the empire,

but she's just as cold as usual.
**[13:29] (Flashback) Kishiri**
Hey, you done with your training?
**[13:31] (Flashback) Kishiri**
When you get as good as me,
that training is no sweat.
**[13:34] (Flashback) Kishiri**
Anyway, what do you say to grabbing a meal?
**[13:36] (Flashback) Kishiri**
I'm friends with the owner of
the empire's hardest restaurant
**[13:39] (Flashback) Kishiri**

**[13:41] (Flashback) Kishiri**
I'll take you there as a special favor.
What d'you think? Huh?
**[13:44] (Flashback) female soldier**
Um...
**[13:46] (Flashback) Hibana**
You're a man, and yet you
constantly talk about yourself,
**[13:49] (Flashback) Hibana**
trying to make yourself look good.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Hibana**
The only girls who will be
attracted to that are idiots.
**[13:54] (Flashback) Kishiri**
What's this, now? Are you
interested in what I'm saying?
**[13:58] (Flashback) Hibana**
And that hair is both disgusting
and revolting, so get it cut.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Hibana**
An ugly man acting so
desperately... It's unsightly.
**[14:03] (Flashback) Kishiri**
Ugly?
**[14:07] Kishiri**
I mean, it's nice not having to use a
curling iron on my bangs every day.
**[14:12] Kishiri**
This is proof that the captain
cares about me, right?
**[14:15] Kishiri**
Could it be that...
**[14:16] Hibana**
Gravel! Disgusting! Ugly man!
**[14:19] Hibana**
But the truth is...
**[14:21] Kishiri**
She actually wubs me?
**[14:22] Kishiri**
Gimme a hug! Hug me!
**[14:24] Kishiri; background**
Oh, Captain!
**[14:24] Hibana**
He really is creepy.
**[14:26] Kishiri; background**
You're more aggressive than I thought
you'd be! More! It's so hot!
**[14:26] Hibana**
Why are there only creepy guys in the 5th?
**[14:39] (Flashback) Sakura**
Sister Clematis, this way!
**[14:41] (Flashback) Clematis**
Wait for me!
**[14:44] (Flashback) Sakura**
Sister Hibana!
**[14:46] (Flashback) Clematis**
They said there's a
honeybee hive over there.
**[14:49] (Flashback) child Hibana**
A honeybee hive? But that's dangerous.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Sakura**
That's why we want you
to come, Sister Hibana!
**[14:59] (Flashback) child Hibana**
Iris, you're coming, too, right?
**[15:02] (Flashback) child Iris**
Oh, but...
**[15:04] (Flashback) Sakura**
Will she be all right?
It's dangerous for Sister Iris.
**[15:07] (Flashback) child Hibana**
She'll be fine!
**[15:09] (Flashback) child Hibana**
I'll protect her!
**[15:12] (Flashback) child Hibana**
You feel safe, right?
**[15:17] (Flashback) Sakura**
It's at the top of that tree.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Clematis**
Is this really all right?
**[15:21] (Flashback) child Hibana**
Let's approach with caution.
**[15:24] (Flashback) Sumire**
I've heard all about it.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Sumire**
Trying to get close to a bug's nest like this...
**[15:30] (Flashback) child Hibana**
What harm does it do, Sister Sumire?
**[15:32] (Flashback) child Hibana**
We're just going to take a little look.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Sumire**
So you say, but it's already time for prayers.
**[15:38] (Flashback) Sumire**
Save this for some other time.
**[15:41] (Flashback) girls**
Yes, Sister.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Sakura**
When we're done, let's come right back to see.
**[15:46] (Flashback) child Hibana**
Sakura, are you serious?
**[15:48] (Flashback) Sumire**
I heard that!
**[15:50] (Flashback) Sakura**
Argh!
**[15:59] Hibana**
Sakura was always causing trouble.
**[16:04] Hibana**
It's so nostalgic.
**[16:05] Hibana**
She may have been a sister,
but she was just a child.
**[16:09] Hibana**
Sister Sumire must have
had a tough time, too.

*The only ones left are me and Iris.*

**[16:46] Hibana**
There's nothing left of the
buildings above ground.
**[16:49] Hibana**
Which means...
**[16:52] Hibana**
The Nether.
**[16:57] Hibana**
If there's a large pocket of air below the
surface, the vibration frequency should drop.
**[17:02] Hibana**
But where?
**[17:17] Hibana**
The frequency dropped!
There's no mistaking it.
**[17:20] Hibana**
There's a space under here!
**[17:22] Hibana**
This is... the dining hall?
**[17:26] Hibana**
There's an entrance to the Nether here.
**[17:29] Hibana**
It's somewhere the sisters
would never approach.
**[17:34] Hibana**
The altar.
**[17:36] Hibana**
The sisters wouldn't have touched
this without good reason.
**[17:39] Hibana**
Beneath this altar...
**[17:42] Hibana**
But how to move such a huge thing?
**[17:48] Hibana**
Gravel!
**[17:51] Hibana**
It didn't even shudder.
**[17:53] Hibana**
But... what was this altar again?
**[17:57] Karim**
It's an altar for offerings!
**[18:00] Karim**
Are you sure you used to be a sister?
**[18:02] Hibana**
Why are you two here?
**[18:05] Karim**
We tried to get in touch
regarding a certain incident.
**[18:07] Hibana**
In touch with me? And you
came all the way out here?
**[18:10] Karim**
There's something I want to
ask you about doppelgangers.
**[18:14] Hibana**
You guys, too?
**[18:19] Hibana**
Blast that Kishiri, letting you
through without permission!
**[18:22] Hibana**
Never mind. You can see the
situation for yourselves.
**[18:25] Hibana**
I've deduced that there's
something under this altar,
**[18:29] Hibana**
but I can't figure out what
to do next. I'm stuck.
**[18:32] Karim**
I'll figure something out.
**[18:34] Hibana**
Can you make flames under the altar?
**[18:36] Hibana**
Are you giving me orders?
**[18:39] Huo Yan**
I'll do it.
**[18:40] Hibana**
Don't. I'll do it.
**[18:42] Hibana**
Rose Whip!
**[18:44] Hibana**
Entangle!
**[18:46] Karim**
Thermoacoustic cooling!
**[18:54] Karim**
What's gonna come to light?
**[19:00] Hibana**
I knew it! Stairs leading underground.
**[19:02] Huo Yan**
Why would those be in a sacred convent?
**[19:09] Hibana**
It looks like the fire didn't
affect anything down here.
**[19:12] Huo Yan**
Holy Sol, I beg your forgiveness.
**[19:21] Hibana**
There was a place like
this underground here?
**[19:25] Karim**
This goes against the doctrine
of the Holy Sol faith.
**[19:29] Huo Yan**
It's just as we deduced,
but I was hoping it wasn't true.
**[19:34] Hibana**
Eight pillars.
**[19:36] Hibana**
That's the same number as there are
human pillars with the Adolla Burst.
**[19:39] Karim**
This place reeks of something burnt.
**[19:46] Hibana; internal**
* Somewhere, there's something about*
* the mystery of human combustion.*
**[19:49] Hibana; internal**
* As I thought, the convent*
* fire was set deliberately.*
**[19:53] Hibana; internal**
*There must be proof of that here somewhere.*
**[19:57] Hibana**
A book about plants?
**[19:59] Huo Yan**
There are instructional books
on agriculture here, as well.
**[20:02] Huo Yan**
Captain Hibana, do you have
any ideas about this?
**[20:07] Hibana**
Agriculture? How could
that possibly connect?
**[20:12] Sakura; narration**
* The crest of this convent is the cross of*
* the Holy Sol Temple with flowering plants.*
**[20:18] Hibana; internal**
* No, I'm probably reading*
* too much into things.*
**[20:21] Karim**
It's a book about bugs.
**[20:23] Karim**
Plants and bugs... This place is
full of books about mundane things.
**[20:29] Sakura; narration**
* They have three meals per day, in the*
* morning, the afternoon, and the evening.*
**[20:34] Karim**
After taking the trouble to make this room,
**[20:37] Karim**
all they left here are books
about plants and bugs?
**[20:43] Sakura; narration**
* Nutritious vegetables that have bathed in*
* the light of the sun are the main foods.*
**[20:49] Karim**
If, after the doppelganger
experiments conducted here,
**[20:52] Karim**
the sisters were turned into Infernals...
**[20:55] Sakura; narration**
* They are, of course, vegetables that*
* the sisters have grown themselves.*
**[21:04] Karim**
But there aren't any hints about the
concrete details of those experiments.
**[21:09] Karim**
What happened here?
**[21:11] Huo Yan**
And now recipes for meals?
**[21:24] Karim**
It looks like this was just
for document storage.
**[21:28] Huo Yan**
What's wrong?
**[21:30] Hibana**
Could it be that for such a long time, we...
**[21:45] Sakura; narration**
* The convent's crest, together*
* with the sisters' customs,*
**[21:50] Sakura; narration**
* created a tradition in which the*
* sisters are named after flowers.*
**[21:56] Karim**
Did you figure something out?
**[21:59] Hibana**
They were creating...
**[22:01] Hibana**
Like crops, giving the
sisters flower names...
**[22:07] Karim**
What are you trying to say?
**[22:09] Huo Yan**
So something did happen here?
**[22:10] Hibana**
Flower names and then bugs...
**[22:13] Sumire**
Bugs go with flowers, don't they?
**[22:21] Hibana**
Sister... Sumire?

**[02:23] Hibana**
Sister Sumire. Why are you here?
**[02:28] Sumire**
What about you? What business
could bring you back here?
**[02:34] Sumire**
Dear, dear.
**[02:42] Sumire**
Reading without permission again,
are we, Sister Hibana?
**[02:49] Sumire**
And I've told you so many times that
**[02:51] Sumire**
you mustn't leave things out
after you're done with them.
**[02:53] Hibana**
You knew about this place!
**[02:58] Hibana**
The culprit behind that fire,
behind everything, was...
**[03:03] Sumire**
Did you come here looking
for the answer to that?
**[03:07] Hibana**
Sister Sumire, what were you doing here?
**[03:11] Sumire**
My, but haven't you already
discovered the answer to that?
**[03:18] Hibana**
Doppelgangers?
**[03:20] Sumire**
That's right. You've always
been hardworking and studious,
**[03:24] Sumire**
so you'd always check your answers
with an adult, like you did just now.
**[03:27] Sumire**
Ah, nostalgia.
**[03:30] Hibana**
Stop messing around and tell me
what you were doing here!
**[03:33] Sumire**
Oh, dear. Simply demanding an
answer isn't like you at all.
**[03:38] Hibana**
You used the sisters right here, in this place,
in doppelganger experiments!
**[03:44] Hibana**
You tricked devoted children so that you
could create people with powers, didn't you?
**[03:50] Sumire**
The sisters were all so
innocent and obedient.
**[03:53] Hibana**
Exactly! We all adored and looked up to you!
**[03:58] Hibana**
And you used that to...
**[04:01] Hibana**
You mixed Adolla Insects into the vegetables
and made us eat them, didn't you?!
**[04:06] Karim**
Made you eat Insects in order
to create people with powers?
**[04:09] Karim**
What are you talking about?
**[04:10] Hibana**
This is the truth behind
spontaneous human combustion!
**[04:13] Hibana**
First, the mass human combustion
of the sisters that happened here
**[04:17] Hibana**
was caused by one of Sister Sumire's
doppelganger experiments!
**[04:22] Hibana**
Doppelgangers are another version
of you that exists in Adolla.
**[04:26] Hibana**
She was trying to bring them here.
**[04:28] Karim**
And the tools she uses to
bring them are the Insects?
**[04:34] Hibana**
The Insects are creatures from Adolla.
**[04:36] Hibana**
They must serve as a bridge to this world.
**[04:40] Hibana**
In Adolla, the number of doppelgangers,
the other versions of us,
**[04:43] Hibana**
is the same as our population in this world.
**[04:46] Hibana**
When their existence interferes with ours,
when they try to become one with us,
**[04:49] Hibana**
that's the true cause of spontaneous
human combustion, isn't it?
**[04:53] Hibana**
Tell me, what is Adolla, really?
**[05:15] Sumire**
I'd expect nothing less
from you, Sister Hibana.
**[05:18] Sumire**
You'd already reached those answers, I see.
**[05:21] Sumire**
Truly exceptional children remain
exceptional even after they've grown up.
**[05:30] Huo Yan**
An earthquake?
**[05:32] Hibana**
What are these pillars here?
**[05:34] Sumire**
Thanks to the experiments,
all of the pillars are present.
**[05:38] Hibana**
All of the pillars are present?
**[05:40] Hibana**
Were you doing experiments to
create Adolla Bursts here, too?
**[05:44] Hibana**
How many orphans' lives did you use as
your playthings in your experiments?
**[05:51] Sumire**
I do believe that's enough of this little chat.
**[05:55] Sumire**
All of you will be buried alive here.
**[05:59] Hibana**
When did your experiments start?
**[06:02] Hibana**
Has this convent served as you
and your allies' test site
**[06:06] Hibana**
since long before we grew up here?
**[06:11] Huo Yan**
Another earthquake?
**[06:17] Karim**
Hibana! Light a fire!
**[06:20] Karim**
With just one touch?
**[06:23] Sumire**
It gets cold underground, doesn't it?
**[06:28] Sumire**
You're Karim, aren't you?
**[06:30] Sumire**
Stealing heat in an instant like that...
**[06:33] Sumire**
Rekka was so lively that
no one could manage him.
**[06:37] Sumire**
He was a strong boy whose
sense of justice led him
**[06:40] Sumire**
to hope for the world's salvation by fire.
**[06:44] Karim**
You raised Rekka, too?
**[06:46] Hibana**
What is it that you're trying to do?!
**[06:49] Sumire**
You've always wanted to know everything.
**[06:52] Sumire**
As a little reward before
you die, I will tell you.
**[06:56] Sumire**
Back when there was no human
combustion, 250 years ago,
**[07:00] Sumire**
the Great Cataclysm was actually a failure.
**[07:03] Sumire**
The number of pillars and their
energy were insufficient.
**[07:06] Sumire**
The world was torn apart and
remained after the burning.
**[07:12] Sumire**
Ever since the failure of that Great Cataclysm,
I have created pillars for the next one.
**[07:21] Hibana**
You're saying it's been 250 years?
**[07:24] Hibana**
What are you?
**[07:26] Hibana**
And before the Great Cataclysm,
there was no human combustion?
**[07:30] Hibana**
Then what was the Great Cataclysm?
**[07:32] Sumire**
This is as far as your reward goes.
**[07:34] Sumire**
Still, it is quite chilly today, isn't it?
**[07:40] Huo Yan**
Another earthquake?
**[07:41] Huo Yan**
These powerful vibrations we've
been getting hit with...
**[07:45] Huo Yan**
Don't tell me these earthquakes are also...
**[07:47] Huo Yan**
What is your Ignition Power?
**[07:50] Hibana**
Even more than the mysteries of the world,
the reason I came here...
**[07:58] Hibana**
was to exact revenge upon the person who
stole my dear friends' lives from them!
**[08:05] Sumire**
You truly believe that they all died?
**[08:17] Demon Sakura**
Hibana...
**[08:18] Demon Clematis**
It's so hot.
**[08:20] Karim**
Demon Infernals! Child Demon Infernals!
**[08:23] Demon Sakura**
H-H-Hibana.
**[08:29] Hibana**
Sakura?
**[08:30] Demon Clematis**
It hurts, Hiba...
**[08:34] Demon Sakura**
Hibana...
**[08:42] Hibana**
What did you do to them?
**[08:46] Sister Sumire**
You recognize them, don't you?
**[08:48] Sumire**
As the head sister, I've let you meet
them once more before the end.
**[08:52] Sumire**
Hell is so very close now.
**[09:01] Karim**
Huo Yan, get back!
**[09:04] Sumire**
If you touch me suddenly, you'll get hurt.
**[09:07] Huo Yan**
Karim, what is her power?
**[09:09] Karim**
It seems like she vibrates her
body and uses it as a weapon.
**[09:13] Karim**
The vibration serves as
both attack and defense.
**[09:16] Karim**
But how is she using Ignition Power
to create oscillations like that?
**[09:21] Sumire**
It's a completely natural
function of any living creature.
**[09:24] Sumire**
Shivering.
**[09:27] Sumire**
I'm trembling because of the cold.
**[09:30] Sumire**
And I am making that
trembling stronger, that's all.
**[09:33] Hibana**
Shivering is a physiological function
of the body when it's cold.
**[09:39] Hibana**
Are you saying you're using that
to create those huge vibrations?
**[09:43] Karim**
But if these ongoing earthquakes
we've been feeling
**[09:46] Karim**
are caused by that woman's powers, then...
**[09:50] Karim**
Who *are* you?!
**[09:52] Hibana**
Even with Ignition Power, it just isn't
possible to shake the land itself.
**[09:58] Hibana**
Not unless you're using an Adolla Burst!
**[10:09] Kishiri**
Captain Hibana, are you safe?
**[10:11] Hibana**
Good work, Kishiri! Help me!
**[10:13] Kishiri**
Heh. She complimented me.
**[10:17] Sumire**
What naughty children you are.
**[10:22] Karim**
She stopped moving!
**[10:24] Huo Yan**
Let's get outside while we can!
**[10:32] woman in black**
Sister Sumire...
**[10:35] woman in black**
Are you doing these things again?
**[10:38] Sumire**
My, you startled me.
**[10:40] woman in black**
Nearly all that is left for me
is to rot away, forgotten.
**[10:45] woman in black**
I've summoned the last of my
strength to make contact with you.
**[10:50] Sumire**
You've been a worrywart since 250 years ago.
**[10:54] Sumire**
It's too late. The human world
is headed for destruction.
**[11:01] woman in black**
You haven't changed, have you?
**[11:04] woman in black**
250 years ago, just like me...
**[11:10] woman in black**
you became a Pillar,
and you haven't changed since.
**[11:25] Sumire**
Struggle as much as you like.
**[11:31] Sumire**
Goodbye, woman in black.
**[11:34] Sumire**
I will fulfill my duties as the Seventh Pillar.
**[11:46] Sumire**
Still, it is chilly, isn't it?
**[11:49] Sumire**
There just aren't enough flames.
**[11:57] Karim**
The earthquakes have stopped.
**[11:59] Huo Yan**
She doesn't appear to be following us.
**[12:05] Hibana**
Sakura. Clematis.
**[12:09] Kishiri**
Huh? What was that?
Are you talking about me?
**[12:10] Hibana**
Shut up. Gravel should stay silent.
**[12:13] Karim**
What should we do next?
**[12:15] Hibana**
The truth of spontaneous human combustion
**[12:18] Hibana**
is that it's a phenomenon caused
when Adolla doppelgangers
**[12:23] Hibana**
try to fuse with people of this world.
**[12:26] Hibana**
If that's true,
**[12:28] Hibana**
then the Great Cataclysm could be Adolla
itself interlacing with this world,
**[12:33] Hibana**
causing spontaneous combustion
on a global scale.
**[12:37] Karim**
To turn this planet into a sun.
**[12:39] Hibana**
What?
**[12:41] Karinm**
The White Clad Haumea
said that at the Curia.
**[12:46] Hibana**
Once all of the Pillars have
gathered at the Evangelist's side,
**[12:49] Hibana**
the Great Cataclysm will repeat.
**[12:51] Hibana**
The world will be wrapped in
flames and fall into ruin.
**[12:55] Hibana**
We must take action to prevent
the Great Cataclysm!

**[16:02] Vulcan**
Just listen a minute.
**[16:04] Vulcan**
Arthur gets stronger when he can
align with his image of a knight.
**[16:08] Vulcan**
Basically, we just have to make him believe.
**[16:10] Lisa; Yu**
Which means...
**[16:11] Vulcan**
Which means we're gonna make up a legend.
**[16:15] Vulcan**
We're going to pretend we're
searching for orichalcum.
**[16:18] Yu**
Did you say "we"?
**[16:20] Yu**
So we're involved in this
game of pretend, too?
**[16:22] Lisa**
Can we really pull it off?
**[16:24] Vulcan**
We're dealing with Arthur here. Even if
it's low quality, it shouldn't be a problem.
**[16:30] Vulcan**
That fight at Fuchu made me realize again
that the people we're up against are monsters.
**[16:35] Vulcan**
In order to deal with them,
a power-up for Arthur is essential.
**[16:40] Vulcan**
The 8th will be in trouble if Arthur doesn't
step it up even more than he already has.
**[16:45] Yu**
I understand that this is important,
but playing pretend is just really...
**[16:50] Vulcan**
Yeah, Yu, you're right. It's ridiculous.
**[16:54] Vulcan**
But when Arthur's involved, we can't
just do the normal thing, right?
**[16:59] Vulcan**
Just dumb yourself down. Understand?
**[17:02] Vulcan**
I've got some fake orichalcum prepared.
**[17:05] Vulcan**
Lisa, Yu, let's go!
**[17:09] Yu**
Wait, please!
**[17:10] Yu**
When you say to "dumb yourself down,"
just how dumb are we talking here?
**[17:14] Yu**
Dumb yourself far enough down
that you can mine orichalcum there!
**[17:19] Yu**
He seems to think he's
said something clever.

Indeed. We must search

There are rumors of a man who
knows a lot about orichalcum.

What? An expert in that legendary ore?
**[17:54] Arthur**
Who?

The one who knows about orichalcum...
is the owner of the tsukemono shop!

Why would a tsukemono shop owner know?

I see the King of Destruction
likes high places, too.
**[19:28] Benimaru**
I'm looking to see what I should break next.
**[19:33] Joker**
I've always been someone
who strays from the path.
**[19:36] Joker**
If the empire becomes my enemy,
nothing changes for me.
**[19:41] Joker**
I'm impressed that you guys took the 8th in.
**[19:45] Benimaru**
Asakusa won't change, either.
**[19:47] Benimaru**
This empire and this world are just
flat-out lies. Makes me angry.
**[19:53] Benimaru**
People more important than me,
stronger than me...
**[19:56] Benimaru**
I'll crush all of them because I want to
protect those who are weaker than me.
**[20:01] Joker**
If what you're doing is right,
**[20:04] Joker**
that makes everyone you knock
out of your way the bad guys.
**[20:08] Joker**
Definitely what a king would do.
**[20:11] Joker**
A king of destruction.
**[20:14] Benimaru**
The 8th are fixing to start a fight.
**[20:18] Benimaru**
There's no way I'm not a part of that.
**[20:20] Joker**
Just means that me and you lot
are all indiscriminate idiots.
**[20:24] Joker**
There's quite a few of us if you care to look.
**[20:28] Benimaru**
What's this? You're making it
sound like there are others.
**[20:31] Joker**
There are some morons like that, yeah.
**[20:34] Joker**
Particularly in places the light
doesn't reach, like the Nether.
**[20:42] greengrocer**
That's the legendary trowel.
**[20:45] greengrocer**
The barber knows something about orichalcum.
**[20:48] Arthur**
This is...
**[20:49] Arthur**
the legendary trowel!
**[20:51] greengrocer**
That's the legendary trowel.
**[20:53] greengrocer**
The barber knows—
**[20:57] Lisa**
You went around prepping
quite a few places, didn't you?
**[21:00] Vulcan**
People in Asakusa are game for anything.
**[21:03] Arthur**
Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up! Let's go!
**[21:06] Lisa**
So the climax of this adventure,
**[21:09] Lisa**
the location of the orichalcum, is set, right?
**[21:11] Vulcan**
Don't worry! It's something
you wouldn't expect.
**[21:19] Arthur**
This tree is Yggdrasil.
**[21:21] Arthur**
Beneath it lies a hint to the
whereabouts of the orichalcum.

***SIGN*** It's darkest under the lamp.
The Orichalcum is at
the first shop you visited!
**[21:40] Lisa**
The legend lies where you started.
**[21:43] Lisa**
A common trope, but I bet
it'll make Arthur happy.
**[21:46] Vulcan**
All that's there is a regular lump of iron,
**[21:48] Vulcan**
but solving the mystery himself should
give him a sense of accomplishment
**[21:51] Vulcan**
and help him harness his power.
**[21:54] Arthur**
It's darkest under the lamp! I see!
So that's where the orichalcum is!
**[21:59] Vulcan**
That's right! Let's get going!
**[22:02] Arthur**
It's darkest under the lamp.
That means it's in a place of darkness.
**[22:07] Arthur**
The Nether!
**[22:08] Vulcan; Lisa; Yu**
What?!
**[22:09] Yu**
N-No! Please take a closer look!
**[22:11] Yu**
It says "shop" right there!
**[22:13] Arthur**
As I thought, the legendary ore lies in a
place that no one has seen, the Nether.
**[22:19] Yu**
He's not listening anymore.
**[22:21] Yu**
Vulcan, what are you gonna do?
He's really getting into his element!
**[22:25] Lisa**
This was too difficult for Arthur!
**[22:27] Lisa**
He'd never understand that "it's darkest
under the lamp" is a figure of speech!
**[22:35] Arthur**
Now, to the Nether!
**[22:37] Vulcan; Lisa; Yu**
Wait!

*Orichalcum.*
**[02:11] Arthur; narration**
* It is a legendary ore from the*

***SIGN*** It is a legendary ore
from the legendary
island of Atlantis.
**[02:16] Arthur; narration**
* Since it is an ore worthy of legend,*
* it is super rare.*
**[02:20] Arthur; narration**
* It's perfect for forging the*

**[02:25] Arthur; narration**
* If we're going to forge Excalibur, anything*
* other than orichalcum would be unthinkable!*
**[02:35] Arthur**
Everything we need is written on this map.
***SIGN*** It's darkest under the lamp.
The Orichalcum is at
the first shop you visited!
**[02:38] Arthur**
"It's darkest under the lamp."
**[02:40] Arthur**
As it's written in ancient runes,
the full meaning isn't clear. However...
**[02:43] Arthur**
"Darkest."
**[02:44] Arthur**
Being able to read that one
word is more than enough.
**[02:47] Arthur**
If it speaks of dark places,
then it speaks of the Nether.
**[02:49] Arthur**
The orichalcum is in the Nether!
**[02:52] Yu**
But it says that it's in the first
shop you went to, doesn't it?
**[02:55] Yu**
Maybe it's the tsukemono place?
**[02:57] Arthur**
How could I possibly remember
the first place I went?
**[03:00] Arthur**
I think that this is indicating the place
where everything started—Atlantis!
**[03:05] Yu**
What?!
**[03:06] Lisa**
What d'you mean, "you think"?
**[03:09] Vulcan**
Yu, he's already gone too far.
**[03:11] Vulcan**
It's time to change the plan.
**[03:15] Arthur**
We head for the Nether!
**[03:17] Vulcan; Lisa; Yu**
Y-Yeah!
**[03:24] girl**
Mr. Fire Officer! My cat is stuck
in a tree and can't get down!
**[03:29] girl**
Help me!
**[03:30] Arthur**
I'm in the middle of the main quest.
**[03:32] Arthur**
I'll play the side quests later. Farewell!
**[03:35] Vulcan; Yu; Lisa**
What?!
**[03:40] Vulcan**
Listen up, Yu. Idiots' brains tend to
take the path of least resistance.
**[03:44] Vulcan**
They don't think. They just hurry
toward the result they want.
**[03:47] Yu**
It certainly seems that way.
**[03:48] Vulcan**
Did you know that the idea
of brains taking the path
**[03:51] Vulcan**
of least resistance comes from circuits?
**[03:53] Yu**
Does it really?
**[03:55] Vulcan**
You know what happens
when you directly connect
**[03:58] Vulcan**
a battery's positive and
negative terminals, right?
**[04:00] Yu**
Well, it'll short out. You have to
connect something else between them.
**[04:05] Yu**
Oh, I get it. That's where
that idea comes from.
**[04:09] Vulcan**
When you're working with mechanics,
**[04:11] Vulcan**
you can't just jump to the
path of least resistance.
**[04:14] Vulcan**
You have to think about every
method from every angle.
**[04:17] Vulcan**
That's how you find the best one possible.
**[04:19] Yu**
Yes, sir! I will engrave that into my heart!
**[04:21] Lisa**
But this time, you put too many
things between the terminals,
**[04:25] Lisa**
so he couldn't reach the answer.
**[04:27] Vulcan**
I never imagined that his electric
current would be this weak.
**[04:30] Yu**
He's the equivalent of a coin battery.
**[04:32] Lisa**
But it sure feels nostalgic
to see Vul teach you, Yu.
**[04:37] Yu**
And to have you watching over us, Lisa-san!
**[04:45] Vulcan**
If something's shorted out,
we just need to fix it!
**[04:50] Arthur**
What are you doing?
**[04:51] Arthur**
Hurry up and find an entrance
to the Nether for me!
**[04:54] Vulcan**
And we've gotta fix this
broken scenario, too.
**[05:03] Arthur**
From here, we can enter the Nether.
**[05:06] Yu**
Should we really enter without permission?
**[05:08] Vulcan**
We've already done lots of un-fire-soldier-like
things to get here, haven't we?
**[05:13] Arthur**
There's no turning back now!
**[05:14] Vulcan**
There is, actually. Want to turn back?
**[05:37] Yu**
We're in. We're in the Nether.
**[05:40] Yu**
We told him we can turn back, but he
won't listen. He won't listen at all.
**[05:44] Yu**
He really won't listen...
**[05:47] Yu**
Wonlisten...
**[05:50] Yu**
Wonlisten!
**[05:51] Yu**
Wonlisten! Wonlisten! Wonlisten!
Wonlisten! Wonlisten! Wonlisten!
**[05:52] Lisa**
Yu's gone insane with fear of the Nether.
**[05:55] Vulcan**
Well, it's his first time here.
**[05:57] Arthur**
Wake up, Yu!
**[05:59] Arthur**
This is the Nether! If you don't stay on
your guard, the abyss will look into you!
**[06:03] Arthur**
Come to your senses!
**[06:09] Yu**
Knight King Arthur... What was I doing?
**[06:12] Arthur**
If you don't conduct yourself properly,
you'll lose your sanity.
**[06:15] Yu**
Yes, sir! I'll act properly!
**[06:18] Vulcan**
I understand how he feels.
What are we all doing here?
**[06:23] Vulcan**
Lisa, are you okay?
**[06:25] Lisa**
Huh?
**[06:26] Vulcan**
Being in the Nether must bring
up memories from before, right?
**[06:32] Lisa**
I'm keeping my eyes on the future now.
**[06:35] Lisa**
It's true that I still feel
my fear of Dr. Giovanni,
**[06:39] Lisa**
but I'm sure the moment is coming
when I'll have to overcome him.
**[06:43] Vulcan**
And when it does, I'll be there with
you to knock him into next week!
**[06:47] Vulcan**
There isn't much time left
before the Great Cataclysm.
**[06:49] Vulcan**
We are absolutely going to
need Arthur's strength!
**[06:52] Vulcan**
That's exactly why we need
to get him to power up now!
**[06:56] Arthur**
Is this a goblin nest?
**[06:57] Vulcan**
But the idea that a fantasy gets better
results than that training of his...
**[06:58] Yu; background**
This is bad!
**[06:59] Yu**
There's a huge swarm of rats coming this way!
**[07:02] Arthur; background**
Keep your wits about you, Yu!
**[07:02] Vulcan**
What are fire powers, anyway?
**[07:04] Yu; background**
Sir!
**[07:05] Arthur; background**
Box them in!
**[07:05] Yu; background**
Sir!
**[07:06] Vulcan**
What *is* Adolla?
**[07:06] Arthur; background**
Go, Yu!
**[07:07] Yu; background**
Sir!
**[07:07] Arthur; background**
Get them, Yu!
**[07:21] Shinra**
Lieutenant Konro.
**[07:22] Konro**
What're you moping around in this room for?
You're better now, aren't you?
**[07:26] Shinra**
Yes, sir.
**[07:29] Shinra**
Um, Lieutenant Konro?
**[07:31] Konro**
What?
**[07:32] Shinra**
You've had an Adolla Link, too, haven't you?
**[07:36] Shinra**
Do you remember how you did it?
**[07:41] Shinra**
I can't just wait around anymore.
**[07:44] Shinra**
I want to head into Adolla myself.
**[07:52] Lisa**
Vul, are you sure we can get back?
**[07:54] Vulcan**
Labyrinths are just like circuits.
I remember the way.
**[07:58] Lisa**
We've been at this for an hour already.
**[08:01] Vulcan**
Let him keep going until he feels satisfied.
**[08:03] Vulcan**
He'll pick up some random piece of metal,
**[08:06] Vulcan**
then we'll swap it for
the alloy I have ready.
**[08:10] Vulcan**
But going any deeper into the
Nether is pretty dangerous.
**[08:15] Lisa**
All right.
**[08:16] Lisa**
Let's have the last boss show
up so we can end all this.
**[08:25] Lisa**
Turn back!
**[08:27] Lisa**
I am the master of the abyss,
**[08:29] Lisa**
and though the orichalcum lies
just beyond, you may not have it!
**[08:33] Lisa**
Turn back!
**[08:36] Arthur**
Lisa, why is a grown woman
playing silly games like this?
**[08:38] Arthur**
Yu is watching, you know.
**[08:40] Lisa**
Why do his instincts work
for stuff like this?
**[08:43] Lisa**
I swallowed my embarrassment to do this...
**[08:45] Vulcan**
Don't do anything uncalled for!
**[08:47] Vulcan**
That foolish move could've
ruined this whole adventure!
**[08:49] Lisa**
We've been doing this for an hour!
He needs to hurry up and get tired of it!
**[08:54] Lisa**
He's like a giant child!
**[08:56] Yu**
Lisa-san, he's tired of it.
**[08:58] Lisa**
Oh, I so want to kill him!
**[09:00] Lisa**
You moronic dog, making us take you
on a walk all the way out here!
**[09:03] Lisa**
I'll show you who your master is!
**[09:04] Vulcan**
Lisa, calm down!
**[09:06] Vulcan**
We're doing this to save Tokyo!
**[09:08] Lisa**
Why are you acting serious all of a sudden?
**[09:11] Arthur**
I feel a presence.
**[09:13] Yu**
Oh, stop it, Arthur. This is the Nether—
**[09:15] Vulcan**
Arthur, are you serious?
**[09:17] Arthur**
Stay back!
**[09:20] Arthur**
Who goes there?
**[09:34] Arthur's mom**
It really is you, Arthur!
**[09:36] Arthur's dad**
It's been a long time.
**[09:38] Arthur**
Father. Mother.
**[09:41] Vulcan**
Oh, it's just his mother and father.
**[09:44] Yu**
Honestly.
**[09:46] Yu; Vulcan; Lisa**
What?!
**[09:47] Arthur**
What are you doing here?
**[09:48] Arthur's dad**
Didn't we tell you, Arthur?
**[09:50] Arthur**
You don't mean...
**[09:52] Vulcan**
Wait, what?!
**[09:53] Arthur's dad**
Yes, that's right.
***SIGN*** To our dear son, Arthur,
Your mother and father have gone on a journey to save the world!
The castle is all yours!! As of today, you are the king!!!
**[09:56] Arthur**
So you've saved the world, then!
**[09:59] Lisa; Yu**
Vulcan, did you set this up, too?!
**[10:01] Vulcan**
Of course I didn't!
**[10:03] Arthur**
I would expect no less of you, Father,
Mother. Father King, Mother King.
**[10:07] Arthur**
Your actions never bring
shame to the title of king.
**[10:10] Arthur's mom**
From your appearance, you've become
a fire soldier, haven't you?
**[10:14] Arthur's dad**
You have fought to save the world,
haven't you, my son?
**[10:18] Arthur**
After you left on your journey,
I became the Knight King.
**[10:23] Arthur**
Fire soldier and Knight King.
Wearing two hats was a tough job.
**[10:28] Arthur's dad**
My son...
**[10:30] Arthur's mom and dad**
You've grown up so well!
**[10:32] Arthur**
Well, I am a knight.
**[10:34] Vulcan**
Hang on.
**[10:36] Vulcan**
You are Arthur's parents,
and you say you've saved the world.
**[10:40] Vulcan**
It's all so nonsensical that
I can't quite keep up, so, um...
**[10:44] Vulcan**
could you please explain?
**[10:47] Arthur**
Vulcan, don't think. Feel.
**[10:49] Vulcan**
And you should feel less
and think a little more!
**[10:52] Arthur's dad**
You're all associated with the
fire soldiers, aren't you?
**[10:55] Vulcan**
Yeah, that's right. We're all
members of the 8th with Arthur.
**[11:01] Arthur's mom**
We are the Resistance!
**[11:03] Arthur's dad**
We act to correct the
corruption in this empire!
**[11:07] Vulcan**
The Resistance?
**[11:09] Arthur's mom**
Well, to put it simply,
**[11:11] Arthur's mom**
it's something we thought up when we
had to flee our debts in the night
**[11:14] Arthur's mom**
that would keep in line with
this man's flights of fancy.
**[11:16] Yu**
I'm sorry? What does that mean?
**[11:18] Arthur's mom**
Basically, we're pretending to be the
Resistance down here in the Nether.
**[11:22] Lisa**
You've been doing that in the
Nether for all these years?
**[11:25] Yu**
Why would you play along with
something so ridiculous?!
**[11:28] Arthur's mom**
We couldn't let him come
to the Nether alone.
**[11:31] Arthur's mom**
Arthur was just a child, so we
couldn't bring him with us,
**[11:35] Arthur's mom**
but despite my husband's flaws, I love him.
**[11:39] Lisa**
So you just left Arthur behind?
**[11:44] Arthur**
That's my mother for you. So very wise.
**[11:47] Arthur's dad**
We did both that and this, all of it,
to prevent a crisis from befalling the world.
**[11:50] Vulcan**
A crisis befall the world? You don't—
**[11:52] Arthur's mom**
The Holy Sol Temple,
which worships the sun deity,
**[11:55] Arthur's mom**
was created to control people.
**[11:59] Arthur's mom**
The Evangelist, a being from a higher plane,
**[12:02] Arthur's mom**
is trying to create another Great Cataclysm
in order to destroy the world.
**[12:07] Lisa**
How do you know that?
**[12:09] Arthur's mom**
And they say that spontaneous human
combustion occurs when another version
**[12:12] Arthur's mom**
of ourselves from another
world interacts with us here.

Wait, please!
**[12:26] Vulcan**
Where'd you hear all this about
the Evangelist and other worlds?
**[12:28] Arthur's mom**
We didn't hear about them.
They're all my husband's fantasies.
**[12:33] Vulcan**
Mister, how did you...
**[12:35] Arthur's dad**
That's difficult to answer, but...
**[12:40] Arthur's dad**
it's because I'm a seer.
**[12:44] Arthur's dad**
Our restaurant went out of business
because of food poisoning and a fire.
**[12:47] Arthur's dad**
Back then, our family was in dire straits.
**[12:47] newscaster; female**
* The cause of the fire, which started inside the*
* restaurant, was declared unknown yesterday.*
**[12:52] newscaster; female**
* The restaurant that burned recently*
* suffered an outbreak of food poisoning.*
**[12:53] Arthur's dad**
All I could do was run
from reality like this.
**[12:55] newscaster; female**
* Along with the loss of trust that resulted,*
* this fire has dealt it a grave blow.*
**[13:09] (Flashback) young Arthur**
Why were you looking at
the inside of your hat?
**[13:11] (Flashback) young Arthur**
Can you see something in there?
**[13:18] Arthur's dad**
Arthur, your mom and I are going
on a journey to save the world.
**[13:24] Arthur's mom**
We love you.
**[13:30] Arthur's dad**
Take care, now.
**[13:36] Arthur's dad**
Ever since that day,
**[13:37] Arthur's dad**
if I look inside my hat like
this when I'm feeling lost,
**[13:40] Arthur's dad**
I can see a sky full of stars.
**[13:45] Arthur's dad**
When I look at those stars, I understand...
**[13:48] Arthur's dad**
the truth of this world.
**[13:50] Yu**
Arthur-san, are these really your parents?
**[13:53] Arthur**
Of course they are. Tricks don't work on me.
**[13:56] Arthur**
How could I ever mistake them?
**[13:58] Lisa**
Vulcan.
**[14:00] Vulcan**
It's too much for this to
just be a coincidence.
**[14:02] Vulcan**
Did you show up here
because you had a vision?
**[14:05] Arthur's dad**
I felt like my son would come here.
**[14:08] Arthur's dad**
Arthur, you came here looking
for something, didn't you?
**[14:12] Arthur**
I did indeed, Father.
**[14:14] Arthur**
I came here looking for orichalcum in
order to forge the True Excalibur.
**[14:18] Arthur's dad**
Come with me.
**[14:24] Lisa**
Vul, you trust people way too quickly.
**[14:27] Lisa**
That's why I was able to trick you so easil—
**[14:30] Vulcan**
But you're with us now, right?
**[14:32] Lisa**
Y-Yeah, I am, but...
**[14:41] Lisa**
What's with the mountain of junk?
**[14:44] Yu**
You know, at night, when you get déjà vu...
**[14:46] Arthur**
Knight?
**[14:46] Yu**
Not that kind of night.
**[14:48] Arthur's mom**
This technology is from
before the Great Cataclysm.
**[14:51] Arthur's mom**
We've gathered some of those machines here.
**[14:54] Vulcan**
Really?
**[14:56] Vulcan**
I've never seen junk parts like these.
Is this some kind of device?
**[15:01] Arthur's dad**
If I remember correctly, somewhere
around here... Oh, here it is.
**[15:06] Arthur's dad**
This is it.
**[15:08] Arthur**
What is it?
**[15:09] Vulcan**
Could it be...
**[15:11] Vulcan**
Is that a nose fairing from a space rocket?
**[15:14] Arthur's dad**
You seem to know a lot about it.
**[15:16] Vulcan**
This is made of a special aluminum alloy.
**[15:19] Vulcan**
Two or three thousand degrees of
heat won't even make it flinch.
**[15:22] Vulcan**
That's how heat-resistant and sturdy it is!
**[15:25] Arthur**
Dark matter that has traveled through space.
**[15:27] Arthur**
In other words, a fragment of a star.
**[15:29] Arthur**
If the holy sword were forged from this...
**[15:30] Yu**
You have it wrong. Weren't you listening?
It's part of a rocket, not a meteo—
**[15:34] Lisa**
Shh!
**[15:37] Yu**
He's moving his fantasy along!
**[15:42] Yu**
Who was that?
**[15:43] Arthur's younger siblings**
Dad! Mom!
**[15:45] Arthur's dad**
We're back.
**[15:46] Arthur's mom**
Were you good?
**[15:47] Arthur's younger siblings**
Yeah.
**[15:48] Yu**
What?! No way! Kids?!
**[15:49] Yu**
What? How?
**[15:51] Yu**
And there are three of them!
**[15:52] Yu**
How?!
**[15:53] Arthur's dad**
We had them after coming to the Nether.
**[15:55] Yu**
What do you mean, you "had them"?
After you left him behind?
**[16:00] Lisa**
Yu, that's enough! Every family
has their own circumstances.
**[16:03] Yu**
Wait! It just isn't right, is it?
**[16:06] Yu**
What about Arthur's place?
Why'd they have kids?
**[16:09] Yu**
They said they left Arthur because they
couldn't bring a kid into the Nether!
**[16:12] Yu**
I just feel so horrible for poor Arthur!
**[16:17] Yu**
That's lucky. He isn't listening.
**[16:20] Vulcan**
Arthur!
**[16:21] Vulcan**
I can forge you an even better sword with this
than with the fake orichalcum I have ready!
**[16:25] Yu**
Hey, Vulcan! You said it out loud!
You said you got it ready!
***SIGN*** Splutter
**[16:29] Yu**
You're exposing this farce
that we've been acting out!
**[16:32] Arthur**
Really, Vulcan? That means we've done it!
**[16:34] Yu**
Hooray! He doesn't hear anything
that doesn't fit his scenario!
**[16:39] Vulcan**
This is crazy! I'm starting to fantasize, too!
**[16:40] Yu**
What is with these people? I'm scared!
It's dark! It's so dark here!
**[16:43] Lisa**
All that's left is to go back to the
surface and forge the sword, okay?
**[16:46] Vulcan**
Let's get forging!
**[16:47] Arthur**
Excalibur!
**[17:01] Yu**
For some reason, I feel really tired.
**[17:04] Lisa**
Arthur, what happened with your family?
**[17:07] Arthur**
They haven't been above ground in a while.
They're looking around town.
**[17:11] Yu**
The Boyle family's all about freedom, huh?
**[17:15] Vulcan**
All right. Everything's ready!
**[17:17] Vulcan**
Next, I'm pouring it into this thing!
**[17:19] Arthur**
I'll watch!
**[17:28] Lisa**
Now, this is enough to get anyone excited!
**[17:38] Yu**
Watch out! That's dangerous!
**[17:39] Yu**
Even if you're a third generation,
that has to be hot!
**[17:43] Vulcan**
A sword made of a rocket.
There's a certain romanticism in that.
**[17:47] Lisa**
All that hard work was worth it, huh?
**[17:50] Lisa**
I've never seen Arthur
look this happy before.
**[17:55] Arthur**
Come to my hand, holy sword!
**[18:27] Yu**
The construction of the sheath
is just about finished.
**[18:29] Lisa**
The belt to hang the sword from is done, too.
**[18:31] Vulcan**
All right! Just one last push!
**[18:38] Yu**
Arthur-san! Hurry up! Hurry!
**[18:41] Vulcan**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Look! We've finished it!
**[18:57] Arthur**
This is...
**[19:00] Arthur**
Vulcan, I thank you.
**[19:03] Arthur**
I swear upon this blade,
**[19:05] Arthur**
I will never lose to anyone ever again!
**[19:10] Vulcan**
I'm counting on you, Knight King!
**[19:17] Maki**
Arthur!
**[19:19] Maki**
I heard you found your parents.
You must be so happy!
**[19:24] Maki**
What's that?
***SIGN*** It was fun being above ground after so long.
We're leaving on another journey.
See you around.
Your father
**[19:28] Maki**
What? Again?
**[19:34] Iris; narration**
*Maki had a thought.*
**[19:36] Iris; narration**
* As she gazed at the profile of*
* this man who didn't understand*
**[19:40] Iris; narration**
*he'd been abandoned by his parents twice,*
**[19:42] Iris; narration**
* she thought, now that he'd*
* obtained the real holy sword,*
**[19:45] Iris; narration**
* he had become the Knight King*
* who would save the world.*
**[19:53] Benimaru**
Look, you're tensing up again.
**[19:56] Shinra**
Um, I asked Lieutenant Konro about
how to initiate an Adolla Link.
**[20:01] Benimaru**
Konro told me. You're planning
to go raid Adolla, right?
**[20:06] Shinra**
Captain Shinmon, do you
know a way to raid Adolla?
**[20:10] Benimaru**
Nope. No idea.
**[20:11] Shinra**
Huh?
**[20:12] Benimaru**
But if this Evangelist is a god,
then it's not like there aren't ways.
**[20:17] Shinra**
Then what I'm doing right now is...
**[20:19] Benimaru**
Third eye.
**[20:21] Benimaru**
Once you awaken it, you can connect to
the universe, or higher dimensions,
**[20:25] Benimaru**
even to the seat of a god... or so they say.
**[20:30] Shinra**
Connect to higher dimensions?
**[20:32] Shinra**
Third eye?
**[20:35] Shinra**
What do I need to do to awaken my third eye?
**[20:38] Benimaru**
First, relax your entire body.
**[20:40] Benimaru**
Feel the earth through
the palms of your hands.
**[20:43] Benimaru**
Close your eyes and unify
your consciousness.
**[20:45] Benimaru**
Become one with the earth
and quiet your spirit.
**[20:51] Shinra**
Become one with the earth.
**[20:56] Benimaru**
I can't feel anything, so I
always fall asleep like that.
**[21:00] Shinra**
The earth. Unified consciousness.
**[21:03] Shinra**
Become one.
**[21:06] Shinra**
Sleep.
**[21:09] Benimaru**
Don't fall asleep, moron!
**[21:11] Benimaru**
A long time ago, my predecessor
made me do this,
**[21:14] Benimaru**
but since I lack faith, all I
could do was take a nice nap.
**[21:18] Benimaru**
But you...
**[21:20] Shinra**
It makes sense that you don't believe!
**[21:22] Shinra**
As the God of Destruction,
people believe in you.
**[21:26] Shinra**
I believe in you, too!
**[21:30] Benimaru**
What're you talking about, kid?
**[21:32] Benimaru**
Keep going.
**[21:33] Shinra**
Yes, sir.
**[21:35] Benimaru**
I'm gonna go do some gambling.
**[22:19] Shinra**
Sho!
**[22:24] Sho**
Who are you?
**[22:27] Shinra**
We meet again.

Big brother.

**[00:02] Shinra**
Sho!
**[00:05] Shinra**
We meet again.
**[00:08] Sho**
Who are you?
**[00:10] Sho**
Big brother?
**[00:19] Sho**
Was that... an Adolla Link?
**[00:22] Sho**
Was I...
**[00:26] Sho**
What happened after that? My memories are...
**[00:33] Sho**
Haumea said...
**[00:35] Sho**
That's right. We will turn this planet
into a flaming star once again.
**[00:39] Sho**
That is our mission.
**[00:43] Sho**
But then I met my brother, my only family,
**[00:47] Sho**
and when I did, I felt a warmth
I've never felt before.
**[00:52] Sho**
Flames. Burning. Melting.
**[00:55] Sho**
It felt so different from
fires that engulf everything.
**[01:01] Sho**
I must see my brother again.
**[01:08] Sho; internal**
* I can't let any of the Guardians*
* sense what I'm doing.*
**[01:11] Inca**
Sho! 'Sup?
**[01:14] Inca**
As unfriendly as ever, I see.
**[01:17] Sho**
Where's Haumea?
**[01:18] Inca**
She's locked herself in that room again.
**[01:21] Sho; internal**
*This girl can see the future.*
**[01:23] Sho; internal**
*She may be able to pick up on something.*
**[01:25] Sho; internal**
* I don't want to stay here*
* too long. I'll go that way.*
**[01:29] Sho; internal**
* If Haumea is preoccupied*
* with all that right now,*
**[01:31] Sho; internal**
*this is my chance to escape to the Nether.*
**[01:34] Sumire**
Good day, Third Pillar Sho-kun.
**[01:37] Sho**
Sister Sumire.
**[01:38] Sumire**
Oh? Has something about you changed a bit?
**[01:42] Sho**
What are you talking about?
**[01:44] Sho; internal**
* I don't want to stay near*
* this old lady for long.*
**[01:48] Sho; internal**
*I'll go that way.*
**[01:49] Charon**
Hey, Sho! You're as short as ever today.
**[01:52] Sho; internal**
* Why is it that at times like this*
* I run into more people than usual?*
**[01:55] Sho; internal**
*Charon is Haumea's Guardian.*
**[01:57] Sho; internal**
* It would be bad if he found me*
* out. I don't want to stay here.*
**[02:00] Sho; internal**
*I'll go that way.*
**[02:03] Arrow**
Captain.
**[02:05] Sho; internal**
*Who is it now?*
**[02:07] Sho**
Arrow? What is it?
**[02:09] Arrow**
The last mass before the Great
Cataclysm is nearly upon us.
**[02:12] Arrow**
If I may ask, where are you going?
**[02:14] Sho; internal**
* Oh. So that's why there*
* are so many people here.*
**[02:18] Arrow**
Is something wrong?
**[02:21] Sho; internal**
* There may indeed be*
* something wrong with me.*
**[02:24] Sho; internal**
*What will meeting my brother accomplish?*
**[02:25] Sho; internal**
* Is there something there,*
* something separate from my duty?*
**[02:29] Sho; internal**
* Even if I were to gain my*
* freedom, what would I do?*
**[02:34] Arrow**
We will be late for the mass. We should go.
**[02:37] Sho; internal**
*No, that's not it.*
**[02:39] Sho; internal**
*My brother went all the way to the Nether.*
**[02:41] Sho; internal**
*It isn't that I especially want to see him.*
**[02:45] Sho; internal**
*But I can't just ignore these feelings.*
**[02:53] Arrow**
Captain.
**[02:55] Sho**
Lead me outside.
**[02:57] Sho**
If you resist, I'll kill you.
**[03:01] Arrow**
I am a Guardian.
**[03:03] Arrow**
I would never betray you, Captain.
**[03:07] Sho**
What do you mean?
**[03:08] Arrow**
Wherever you may go,
it is my duty to protect you.
**[03:13] Arrow**
Let there be no question of that.
**[03:16] Sho**
What if I told you that duty
was no longer necessary?
**[03:22] Sho; internal**
*Arrow is like me.*
**[03:25] Sho; internal**
* We act because of duty and don't*
* know what to do outside of it.*
**[03:31] Sho**
You and I act according to the Evangelist's
will. We live to fulfill our duty.
**[03:38] Sho**
But I've discovered something else I must do.
**[03:40] Sho**
You should abandon all this and
act according to your own will, too.
**[03:45] Arrow**
My duty is nothing like that.
**[03:47] Sho**
And the difference is?
**[03:50] Arrow**
Fulfilling my duty is an act of my own will.
**[03:55] Arrow**
Your safety is my happiness.
**[03:58] Arrow**
Serving you is my reason
for living, my everything.
**[04:03] Arrow**
Were I to abandon my duty,
I would have no reason to live.
**[04:08] Arrow**
I am a single arrow that
serves to protect you.
**[04:10] Arrow**
Once an arrow is loosed,
it can never be called back.
**[04:21] Arrow**
Wherever you go, I shall accompany you.
**[04:23] Sho**
There's no need.
**[04:34] Sho**
I'm telling you not to follow me.
**[04:36] Arrow**
Then how much distance should
I maintain between us?
**[04:39] Sho**
Far enough that you can't see me at all.
**[04:42] Arrow**
In that case, I shall maintain my
absolute farthest firing distance.
**[04:47] Sho**
Do as you like.
**[04:48] Arrow**
Sir!

Were you able to sleep properly,

Yes! I feel like I got too much sleep, actually!

Maki-san said we'll have a meeting

Yes, he went somewhere early this morning.

**[07:22] Obi**
We will now begin an emergency meeting
of Special Fire Force Company 8.
**[07:26] Obi**
As you know, the empire has joined
forces with the White Clad,
**[07:30] Obi**
and we of the 8th have
been branded as traitors.
**[07:34] Obi**
We were working at strengthening our ties
with various powers within the empire,
**[07:39] Obi**
but given the current circumstances,
**[07:40] Obi**
obtaining the aid of the Holy Sol
Temple, including the 1st, Haijima,
**[07:44] Obi**
or the army will be difficult.
**[07:46] Hinawa**
If we could at least get the
Imperial Army to act...
**[07:50] Tamaki**
Couldn't you ask General Oze?
He's your father, isn't he?
**[07:55] Maki**
Since I quit the army, he hates
the 8th and Lieutenant Hinawa,
**[08:00] Maki**
so he'd just end up telling me to come home.
**[08:02] Obi**
And there's one more thing we
got a report about yesterday.
**[08:06] Obi**
The Great Cataclysm is happening soon.
**[08:09] Shinra**
The Great Cataclysm?
Where'd we get that information from?
**[08:12] Hibana**
From me.
**[08:14] Shinra**
Captain Hibana?
**[08:16] Iris**
Big sister?
**[08:21] Hibana**
Iris.
**[08:23] Hibana**
Have you noticed anything
unusual with your health?
**[08:27] Iris**
No, nothing in particular.
**[08:29] Hibana**
I see.
**[08:30] Iris**
The more important question is,
why are you here?
**[08:33] Hibana**
To bring you this.
***SIGN*** St. Raffles Convent

I finished writing it.
**[08:40] Obi**
Thank you for—
**[08:44] Hibana**
Hey!
**[08:44] Obi**
It's more important for him
to read it than for me to.
**[08:50] Obi**
Captain Hibana is the
8th's first collaborator.
**[08:54] Obi**
Circumstances being what they are,
thanks for joining us.
**[08:58] Hibana**
I am not assisting the 8th!
**[09:01] Hibana**
But it isn't as if I hate everyone in the 8th.
**[09:05] Hibana**
Right, Shinra?
**[09:08] Shinra**
Thank you for doing this for the 8th!
**[09:11] Tamaki**
Is Kusakabe doing that on purpose?
**[09:12] Maki**
And to think he's usually
got pretty good instincts.
**[09:15] Iris**
But I think an older man would suit
you much better than a younger man.
**[09:20] Hibana**
Iris, where'd that come from?
**[09:21] Iris**
For example, what about Captain Obi?
**[09:24] Obi**
Me? I'd be a weird choice, wouldn't I?
Our ages are much too far apart.
**[09:28] Iris**
Do you think so?
**[09:29] Maki**
These days, no one cares
much about an age gap.
**[09:32] Iris**
In that case, what about Lieutenant Hinawa?
**[09:34] Maki**
W-Wouldn't Lieutenant Hinawa
would be an odd choice?
**[09:37] Arthur**
Why are you panicking all of a sudden?
**[09:38] Maki**
Panic?! Who's panicking?!
**[09:38] Hibana**
Hey! Stop trying to force people on me.
**[09:42] Iris**
Also, I think someone like Tamaki-san
would suit Shinra-san better.
**[09:46] Tamaki**
What?!
**[09:46] Tamaki**
Iris! Why would you stick
me with a guy like him?!
**[09:49] Shinra**
Don't act like you're superior, cat.
I'm the one saying no to you.
**[09:52] Shinra**
I prefer women like the sister!
**[09:54] Tamaki**
Ugh, you're so gross.
I'm a sister too, you know!
**[09:56] Iris**
Yes, I like you very much, too, Shinra-san!
**[10:00] Tamaki**
How gross can you be?
**[10:01] Tamaki**
And I'd make a way better match
for you than Iris would, anyway!
**[10:04] Shinra**
What?! Now who's being gross?

The sister smiles like an
angel as she stirs up chaos.

Shinra!
**[10:29] Shinra**
Scop! What're you doing here?
**[10:31] Scop**
I worked myself really hard to get to Tokyo!
**[10:34] Scop**
First, there was the journey
from the Oasis to the harbor.
**[10:38] Scop**
I ran into a Hell Hound that had survived!
**[10:40] Scop**
I thought I was done for,
but then I had an epiphany!
**[10:44] Scop**
The area where I'm most
effective is underground!
**[10:47] Scop**
Once I realized that,
I immediately dug down!
**[10:53] Scop**
But that Hell Hound just wouldn't give up.
**[10:56] Scop**
It just kept following me above ground.
**[11:00] Scop**
There was no end in sight. In fact,
I was the one at a disadvantage.
**[11:05] Scop**
When I grew tired from tunneling,
**[11:07] Scop**
the Hell Hound would dig
a hole to try to kill me!
**[11:11] Scop**
It was a terrifying creature, and we
were locked in a battle of endurance.
**[11:15] Scop**
But the outcome was clear to see.
**[11:17] Scop**
I was tunneling, so I'd grow tired faster
than the thing just walking along the ground.
**[11:22] Scop**
If I was going to challenge it,
sooner would be better than later.
**[11:24] Scop**
I'd do it while I still had strength!
**[11:27] Scop**
What I unleashed in that moment
was what you just saw...
**[11:30] Scop**
Lushan Mole Whack!
***SIGN*** Lushan Mole Whack

Allow me to explain.
**[11:36] Scop**
The Lushan Mole Whack focuses all
digging power into my right arm
**[11:40] Scop**
and makes the fur all over
my body stand on end.
**[11:43] Scop**
This creates a single knockout blow!
**[11:47] Scop**
The one who was most surprised
was none other than myself.
**[11:50] Shinra; background**
Um, sorry. Can I ask something, Scop?
**[11:50] Scop**
Before, when I promised Shinra that
I'd dig a thousand holes a day, I—
**[11:54] Shinra**
That's a really interesting story,
but that's not what I want to know right now.
**[11:59] Shinra**
What brought you all the way here?
**[12:01] Scop**
What brought me?
**[12:02] Shinra**
Yes. What brought you?
**[12:06] Scop**
What brought me here, you ask?
**[12:09] Scop**
Do not be shocked when
I tell you what brought me!
**[12:13] Scop**
The Hell Hound that collapsed
after being struck
**[12:15] Scop**
with my Lushan Mole Whack
stood and looked at me.
**[12:18] Scop**
The Lushan Mole Whack had brought
me both victory and friendship.
**[12:23] Scop**
The Hell Hound carried me on its
back all the way to the harbor.
**[12:27] Scop**
So if you ask what brought me,
then I say a Hell Hound brought me!
**[12:32] Scop**
I had to find my way to the harbor
and board a ship headed for Tokyo.
**[12:37] Scop**
The Hell Hound was fast.
**[12:39] Scop**
I made it safely to the harbor,
but that meant we had to part ways.
**[12:44] Scop**
Still, I had no time to be sad.
**[12:46] Scop**
I held back my tears and found
a ship headed for Tokyo.
**[12:50] Scop**
I climbed into one of the cardboard boxes
with the Noto label packed with potatoes.
**[12:54] Scop**
And since it was very packed indeed,
I had to eat a little in order to fit inside.
**[12:59] Scop**
I'm sorry, Juggernaut.
It was all in the line of duty.
**[13:04] Scop**
The voyage went smoothly, and by the time we
reached Tokyo, I'd eaten all the potatoes!
**[13:10] Scop**
I'm sorry, Juggernaut.
**[13:13] Scop**
But I heard someone say,
"Damn it! Rats got to this box!"
**[13:17] Scop**
Rats? What an insolent fellow. Me? A rat?
**[13:20] Scop**
Why would he call me a rat, of all things?
**[13:23] Scop**
It was unforgivable.
**[13:25] Scop**
Why would he think that my
crimes were those of a rat?
**[13:29] Scop**
Unforgivable!
**[13:30] Scop**
No matter how you look at me, I am no—
**[13:36] Scop**
What I saw in the mirror
was neither mole nor rat.
**[13:42] Scop**
It was a potato.
**[13:44] Arthur**
Neo Knight Shot!
**[13:51] Scop**
Wh-Wh-What brought that on out of the blue?
**[13:54] Shinra**
Well done, Arthur.
**[13:55] Shinra**
It was a little forceful,
but good job stopping him.
**[13:58] Arthur**
You shouldn't eat other people's
potatoes without permission!
**[14:01] Iris**
That's right, mole-san! Látom!
**[14:04] Shinra; Tamaki**
That's the problem?
**[14:05] Hinawa**
I read the report, but...
**[14:07] Obi**
Yeah. He really is a talking mole.
**[14:10] Hibana**
I thought they'd gotten high on underground

**[14:48] Charon**
The Third Pillar isn't here.
**[14:50] Haumea**
Sho has run away.
**[14:51] Inca**
Sho-kun did what?
**[14:52] Haumea**
It isn't a problem. Let him do as he likes.
**[14:55] Sumire**
Until now, we have simply assembled the
Pillars in the hopes of awakening Adolla Bursts.
**[15:00] Inca**
Oh. Really?
**[15:02] Haumea**
No matter where the Pillars may be,
they can no longer escape Adolla.
**[15:07] Haumea**
The Pillars will become supports
that connect to Adolla,
**[15:09] Haumea**
and the Great Cataclysm is about to begin.
**[15:13] Inca**
Lots of people are going to die this time,
too, right? I can't wait to see it!
**[15:16] Inca**
I'm so excited!
**[15:18] Inca**
Nothing could be better!
**[15:19] Ritsu**
My lady Inca, until the day comes that you
keel over, I, Ritsu, shall protect you.
**[15:24] Inca**
You might die before me, though.
**[15:27] Inca**
I can't wait to see! It's a contest
to see which of us dies first, okay?
**[15:32] Yona**
The time has come, then?
**[15:34] Faerie**
I've waited a long time,
**[15:36] Faerie**
but now I can finally fulfill my purpose.
**[15:39] Charon**
So you've come,
**[15:40] Charon**
Great Cataclysm Execution Officer Faerie.
**[15:44] Dragon**
The Guardian with no Pillar to protect?
**[15:47] Dragon**
Why is this garbage fluttering around?
**[15:49] Faerie**
There is no one in this
world who can defeat you.
**[15:53] Faerie**
But after the cataclysm I awaken,
nothing will remain.
**[15:58] Faerie**
Including you.
**[16:02] Yona**
Haumea, how does it look?
**[16:04] Haumea**
Well...
**[16:06] voices**
Don't you dare look down on me!
You can go ahead and die!
**[16:09] voices**
Die! This is your fault!
**[16:10] voices**
Don't try to pull that on me!
Why don't you just die?
**[16:27] Haumea**
By the Evangelist's orders,
we shall begin the mass!
**[16:32] Scop**
What's this? What's this?
**[16:33] Scop**
You won't listen to my tale
of adventure, but you—
**[16:35] Shinra**
Just tell us.
**[16:37] Scop**
Well, okay. That's why I came, after all.
**[16:41] Scop**
She was already starting to disappear.
**[16:43] Scop**
She said that the Great
Cataclysm was imminent.
**[16:46] Scop**
One of the primary reasons that
the last Great Cataclysm failed
**[16:50] Scop**
was because pi hadn't been calculated
yet. That's what she told me.
**[16:54] Scop**
That's why the Evangelist increased
the level of humanity's civilization
**[16:58] Scop**
and had it progress to an era
when pi would be calculated.
**[17:02] Vulcan**
My ancestor built Amaterasu
and left that key.
**[17:07] Vulcan**
This is just a hypothesis, but if there's
a connection between Amaterasu and pi,
**[17:12] Vulcan**
then maybe the key that Giovanni stole
**[17:14] Vulcan**
was the key to deciphering pi.
**[17:17] Licht**
I see.
**[17:18] Licht**
Vulcan-kun's ancestor deciphered pi.
**[17:22] Licht**
And according to Captain Hibana's report,
the eight Pillars are all in place.
**[17:28] Scop**
That's what she said, too.
**[17:30] Hibana**
Which means everything needed for the
next Great Cataclysm is already in place.
**[17:35] Hibana**
This world and Adolla will become one...
**[17:38] Hibana**
and this planet will burn.
**[17:42] Obi**
It's true that this situation isn't
good, but don't look so depressed.
**[17:46] Obi**
It's not all bad news.
**[17:49] Shinra**
By the way, Captain, where
did you go this morning?
**[17:53] Shinra**
It's dangerous for you.
**[17:54] Obi**
I went to meet with a few people.

**[18:06] Obi**
We're seen as traitors right now.
**[18:09] Honda**
I know that. What's so urgent?
**[18:12] Obi**
You're aware that the
Great Cataclysm is near?
**[18:15] Honda**
What of it?
**[18:17] Obi**
I'd like to know what the 2nd
sees of the Empire's movements.
**[18:20] Obi**
I want to know if you'll help us.
**[18:22] Honda**
And for that, you exposed
yourself to this danger?
**[18:26] Honda**
You didn't think I'd anonymously report you?
**[18:28] Obi**
I did it because of the danger.
**[18:30] Obi**
I'm the boss. That means I'm
the one who has to do this.
**[18:35] Honda**
Yes, well...
**[18:36] Honda**
I know you don't lie or prevaricate.
**[18:39] Honda**
That's why your soldiers
and allies follow you.
**[18:43] Honda**
But the empire and Imperial Army
aren't so different from you.
**[18:46] Honda**
Unless something happens, they can't act.
**[18:49] Honda**
Orders from above are absolute.
**[18:52] Obi**
I realize that.
**[18:54] Obi**
You can't openly offer the
8th any assistance, right?
**[18:57] Obi**
But, sir, I ask that you and the 2nd
be as prepared as you possibly can be.
**[19:02] Honda**
Prepared? Prepared for what, exactly?
**[19:05] Obi**
For anything.
**[19:08] Honda**
Go. Army patrols will be in this area soon.
**[19:16] Pan**
I was planning to go see you myself.
**[19:19] Pan**
I never imagined you'd
come and see me directly.
**[19:24] Pan**
The 4th is prepared to support
the 8th with everything we have.
**[19:28] Pan**
An emergency situation is no time
**[19:30] Pan**
to be talking about the importance
of the empire's orders.
**[19:33] Obi**
It's possible that you'll
be charged with treason.
**[19:36] Pan**
Captain Hague always regretted
**[19:39] Pan**
that it's an ironclad rule
that fire soldiers can't act
**[19:42] Pan**
until a fire has broken out.
**[19:44] Pan**
Back when you were stripped of your honors,
and that second time you defied orders...
**[19:49] Pan**
Both times, you acted to save human lives.
**[19:52] Pan**
That's who you are.
**[19:54] Pan**
This charge of treason
**[19:55] Pan**
must also be the result of you taking
action to put others' lives first.
**[20:00] Pan**
A fire soldier's duty is to
protect lives and property.
**[20:04] Pan**
I will help you.
**[20:07] Obi**
Thank you, Captain Pan. I'm counting on you.
**[20:15] Pan**
It's feeding time! Koi, fall in!
**[20:18] Obi**
Um, please stop. You'll attract attention.
**[20:20] Pan**
Fire soldiers don't sneak around, so...
**[20:24] Pan**
I wasn't thinking.
**[20:27] Shinra**
So the 4th decided to ally with us?
**[20:30] Obi**
Yes, and Captain Honda of the 2nd
will help us as a private individual.
**[20:36] Licht**
But we don't know what will
happen in the Great Cataclysm.
**[20:40] Licht**
To be honest, I can't say our
forces are sufficient yet.
**[20:43] Obi**
You're right.
**[20:44] Obi**
But as long as we don't give up hope,
**[20:47] Obi**
I know there are people
out there who will help us.
**[20:50] Obi**
We are going to stop the
Great Cataclysm in its tracks!
**[20:53] 8th**
Yes, sir!
**[20:55] 8th**
All right, we have to get ready.
**[20:57] Scop**
Oh! It's happening again!
**[20:58] Shinra**
Scop? What is it?
**[21:00] Scop**
On my way here to Tokyo,
**[21:02] Scop**
I felt a weird energy flow
through the ground many times.
**[21:06] Shinra**
A weird energy?
**[21:07] Scop**
Yes. I felt it again just now.
**[21:09] Scop**
When I followed it before, I ended
up at a room with pillars in it.
**[21:15] Scop**
There was a strange old lady...
and that lady there, too.
**[21:21] Hibana**
You were in that documents room?
**[21:23] Hibana**
Could it be that this
weird energy you feel...
**[21:27] Hibana**
and the frequent mysterious
earthquakes of late...
**[21:30] Hibana**
are both caused by Sister Sumire?
**[21:33] Scop**
They're causing earthquakes with the
intent of getting something started.

**[21:42] Haumea**

**[12:21] Takeru**
Sh-Shinra-kun!
**[12:24] Takeru**
Why was he in the line of fire?
**[12:25] Scop**
Don't kill it!
**[12:27] Takeru**
S-Scop-kun?
**[12:28] Scop**
You must not fire in the
direction of that pillar!
**[12:31] Scop**
Shinra protected the pillar.
**[12:34] Takeru**
What are you talking—
**[12:36] Takeru**
No time for that!
First, we have to save Shinra-kun!
**[12:39] Scop**
Huh? Wait! What are you planning to do?
**[12:42] Honda**
What are you doing, Juggernaut?
**[12:44] Honda**
With that gear, you'll sink
to the bottom of the sea.
**[12:47] Takeru**
But...
**[12:52] Oguro**
Kurono will save Kusakabe-kun.
**[12:59] Kurono; internal**
* A drowning is meant to*
* be watched and enjoyed.*
**[13:02] Kurono; internal**
*Why do I have to go and save him?*
**[13:05] Honda**
Haijima. I haven't heard
anything good about that man.
**[13:10] Oguro**
When you can make him do as you say,
**[13:12] Oguro**
there is no company worker
more talented than he.
**[13:21] Kurono; internal**
* Shinra-kun, you're still just*
* as weak as you always were.*
**[13:25] Kurono; internal**
*I'm glad to see that.*
**[13:41] Kurono**
The huge and powerful just aren't
endearing at all, are they?
**[13:56] Kurono**
If this keeps up, I'll be in trouble, too.
Should I ditch my baggage?
**[14:00] Oguro**
Kurono!
**[14:02] Oguro**
If you ditch Kusakabe-kun,
I'm docking your pay!
**[14:10] Takeru**
If we don't help, both of them are goners!
**[14:13] Scop**
No! You must not attack the pillar!
**[14:16] Takeru**
Why not?
**[14:17] Scop**
That pillar is acting as a
plug for an undersea volcano!
**[14:21] Scop**
If you shoot that thing and
destroy the pillar, too,
**[14:23] Scop**
magma from under the sea floor will erupt,
and terrible things will happen to Tokyo!
**[14:27] Takeru**
But that's...
**[14:28] Takeru**
Oh! In that case...
**[14:32] Kurono; internal**
*My summer bonus. A demotion.*
**[14:35] Kurono; internal**
*That would be bad.*
**[14:39] Kurono; internal**
* But there is no replacement for my life.*
* Should I dump him after all?*
**[14:50] Scop**
That's good! That's good, Juggernaut!
**[14:58] Takeru**
From this spot on the wharf,
**[14:59] Takeru**
if I curve the trajectory of the rounds...
**[15:02] Takeru**
they won't hit the pillar!
**[15:19] Oguro**
And where's Kusakabe-kun?
**[15:21] Oguro**
You haven't dumped him, have you?
**[15:24] Kurono**
I still have him.
**[15:26] Honda**
Hey! Take him to the medical unit!
**[15:29] Kurono**
Please at least pull him by the hand.
**[15:30] Oguro**
I'd get my suit wet.
**[15:34] Oguro**
We aren't finished yet.
The real work begins now.
**[15:37] Kurono**
I know.
**[15:46] Scop**
This thing's incredible.
**[15:48] Kurono**
Even after taking that many attacks,
it hasn't even flinched.
**[15:51] Kurono**
I can't do anything against it.
**[15:53] Oguro**
Then would you rather fight me?
**[16:05] Kurono**
Of course not.
**[16:12] Oguro**
And with that, that situation
should be handled.
**[16:14] Oguro**
There's this unexpected capture
of a wanted criminal, as well.
**[16:18] Honda**
What are you planning to do?
He's a fire soldier.
**[16:22] Honda**
The 2nd will have the army
take him into custody.
**[16:24] Oguro**
We of Haijima are the ones who secured him.
**[16:27] Honda**
Do you intend to interfere with the
execution of official army duties?
**[16:31] Faerie**
No, we'll take him.
**[16:35] Honda**
Who are you? How are you doing that?
**[16:37] Faerie**
For me, right now, that's the ceiling.
**[16:47] Oguro**
Kurono!
**[16:49] Kurono**
He's done for. If I leave him,
I'll have one less strong boss.
**[16:53] Oguro**
If anything happens to me on site,
**[16:55] Oguro**
I've filed paperwork to make sure the fault
for my work-related injury falls on you!
**[17:05] Kurono**
The fact that you took
such protective measures
**[17:07] Kurono**
means you know your underlings
hate you, right?
**[17:10] Oguro**
Making my underlings like me isn't my job.
**[17:21] Oguro**
My suit is all dirty from the soot.
**[17:24] Oguro**
I'll have to lower my assessment
of the value of your ability.
**[17:27] Kurono**
May I ask why? I saved you, didn't I?
**[17:29] Oguro**
If you continue to talk back,
I'll lower it two levels.
**[17:33] Oguro**
Hurry up and go retrieve Kusakabe-kun.
**[17:39] Kurono**
If I retrieve him from there,
will you reconsider your reassessment?
**[17:43] Oguro**
I don't negotiate with underlings.
**[17:45] Oguro**
I'm here to make certain that no
mistakes of judgment are made.
**[17:49] Oguro**
You will obey me.
**[17:54] Kurono**
I understand all too well.
**[18:02] Faerie**
Now, stop the Titan.
**[18:05] Faerie**
The time has come.
**[18:07] Faerie**
Humans have strength enough to do it.
**[18:13] Taguchi**
Captain, are you all right?
**[18:15] Honda**
Yes.
**[18:16] 2nd's fire soldier 1**
What's that?
**[18:20] Taguchi**
It seems to be... absorbing something.
**[18:24] Scop**
What's this? What's this?
**[18:28] Takeru**
It can't be. That's...
**[18:31] Takeru**
This is bad! There are still civilians
being evacuated in the plaza!
**[18:39] 2nd's fire soldier 5**
All civilians, please evacuate this area!
**[18:41] 2nd's fire soldier 6**
Don't stop! Move quickly!
**[18:51] Honda**
No!
**[19:04] 2nd's fire soldier 2**
Harbor Facility 8 is on fire!
**[19:06] 2nd's fire soldier 2**
The facility is half destroyed!
**[19:07] 2nd's fire soldier 2**
Investigation of casualties
among civilians being evacuated
**[19:10] 2nd's fire soldier 2**
and members of the 2nd is underway!
**[19:12] Honda**
Good. Send in the rescue team.
**[19:15] Taguchi**
Yes, sir!
**[19:16] Oguro**
That thing breathed fire!
**[19:18] Kurono**
What a waste. So many weaklings were killed.
**[19:24] Takeru**
This is horrible.
**[19:35] Pan**
Are you injured?
**[19:37] citizen 1**
N-No.
**[19:38] Pan**
I'm glad we made it in time.
Now, let's get you out of here quickly!
**[19:42] citizen 1**
That's not gonna be possible!
**[19:44] citizen 1**
Wait. It's not hot.
**[19:46] citizen 2**
Why am I still alive?
**[19:48] citizen 3**
He's right. The fire isn't hot.
**[19:50] Pan**
It's a protection buff. The fire
shouldn't feel hot for a little while.
**[19:53] citizen 1**
I-Incredible.
**[19:53] Pan**
Now, while you still have the chance!
**[19:55] Takeru**
Captain Pan!
**[19:56] Scop**
From the same company as Ogun, right?
**[19:58] Honda**
The 4th rushed here, too?
**[20:02] Pan**
Civilian safety confirmed! No casualties!
**[20:06] Ogun**
All right! That means we've
got zero fatalities!
**[20:09] Karin**
This is how the 4th operates!
**[20:10] Oguro**
I'm changing the particulars
of your work here.
**[20:12] Oguro**
Defeat that Titan. Highest priority.
**[20:15] Kurono**
Understood.
**[20:19] Pan**
The enemy is on the water. To lay it
to rest, we will need flight ability.
**[20:23] Karin**
That means it's time for Ogun to step up.
**[20:25] Ogun**
Leave it to me. Lay the
buffs on me, both of you!
**[20:30] Scop**
Get 'im! Get 'im, Juggernaut!
**[20:32] Scop**
Don't give up! Keep firing!
**[20:35] Pan**
All right. Use the opening created by
Juggernaut's bombardment to get close!
**[20:39] Ogun**
Yes, sir!
**[20:45] Pan**
Karin, are you ready?
**[20:47] Karin**
Anytime!
**[20:51] Ogun**
Here it is! Captain Pan's attack buff!
**[20:55] Karin**
Scale Shield!
**[20:58] Ogun**
And here's Karin's!
**[21:00] Takeru**
Ogun-kun! The left shoulder!
**[21:02] Takeru**
The left shoulder should
have accumulated damage!
**[21:05] Ogun**
Okay, Juggernaut!
**[21:08] Ogun**
Flamy Ink!
**[21:12] Ogun**
Fourth Force Dunk!
**[21:20] Takeru; Scop**
Yeah!
**[21:23] Karin**
Hey, 2nd, are you watching?
That's Ogun of the 4th!
**[21:32] Kurono**
Seen from this close,
there's quite a bit of damage.
**[21:35] Kurono**
It must be due to the 2nd's barrage.
**[21:38] Kurono**
In which case...
**[21:44] Honda**
What's that man from your department doing,
sticking so close to that giant?
**[21:48] Oguro**
He must have found a way to torment it.
**[21:54] Oguro**
You must never show him any weakness.
**[21:59] Oguro**
Show him even a moment, and he'll
slice you to shreds in a heartbeat.
**[22:17] Faerie**
That is good.
**[22:19] Faerie**
Until that Titan is vanquished,
the rite cannot move forward.

Just keep falling through
the atmosphere like that.
**[04:03] Sho**
Even without the Evangelist's Grace...
**[04:32] Ritsu**
You are in a very good mood, my lady Inca.
**[04:34] Ritsu**
Did you see something after Mass?
**[04:39] Inca**
You could say that. The future
that awaits me after this.
**[04:42] Ritsu**
My! Is it a future in which you are slaughtered?
**[04:47] Inca**
Not yet, it seems.
**[04:49] Inca**
But something interesting is about to happen,
so I don't think I'll be bored today!
**[04:54] Ritsu**
Seeing you enjoy yourself
makes me happy, my lady.
**[05:02] Ogun**
So that's the other Strongest
Soldier people are talking about.
**[05:07] Ogun**
That's unreal.
**[05:14] Ogun**
Shinra!
**[05:16] Ogun**
Captain Pan!
**[05:18] Ogun**
Shinra's here, in midair!
**[05:19] Pan**
What? What's he doing here?
**[05:22] Karin**
So the 8th really are our enemies after all!
**[05:25] Karin**
This Titan must be their doing, too!
**[05:27] Ogun**
Karin, they're not like that!
You have the wrong idea about Shinra!
**[05:31] Ogun**
He came here to stop this, just like we did!
**[05:33] Ogun**
Captain! Please give me
permission to rescue Shinra!
**[05:37] Pan**
All right. Go!
**[05:39] Karin**
Captain! He's a devil who
killed his own parents!
**[05:48] Karin**
Understood, sir.
**[05:49] Karin**
The 4th abandons no one!
**[05:55] Ogun**
Shinra!
**[06:00] Ogun**
White Clad?
**[06:05] Sho**
There was no sense of impact.
**[06:08] Sho**
Did he turn part of his body intangible?
**[06:12] Sho**
It doesn't just allow you to float.
**[06:15] Sho**
You're able to misdirect
through your appearance, too?
**[06:18] Sho**
Are you showing an interest in me?
**[06:21] Faerie**
Having to jump from arrow to arrow
to get around must be a lot of work.
**[06:26] Sho**
What is the logic behind this ability?
**[06:30] Faerie**
Every physical object has a force of
attraction pulling it toward all other objects.
**[06:35] Faerie**
It's referred to as universal gravitation.
**[06:38] Faerie**
The force of gravity varies
according to an object's mass.
**[06:43] Faerie**
A small object will be pulled toward
an object with greater mass.
**[06:48] Faerie**
The reason every object that exists on
this planet is pulled toward the ground
**[06:53] Faerie**
is because the planet's gravitational pull
is greater that that of everything else.
**[06:58] Faerie**
My ability uses an Adolla Burst to interfere
with those laws and control gravity.
**[07:05] Faerie**
I apply heat to the atoms that
make up a physical object,
**[07:08] Faerie**
then I use an Adolla Burst
to increase their mass,
**[07:11] Faerie**
allowing me to amplify their
gravitational force at will.
**[07:17] Faerie**
By adjusting the strength of it,
I can bend the path of light.
**[07:22] Faerie**
And by changing the direction
of gravitational pull,
**[07:24] Faerie**
dropping you into the sky becomes possible.
**[07:31] Faerie**
Do you understand me a little better now?
**[07:41] Sho**
You can use Adolla Bursts, too?
**[07:44] Faerie**
The Pillars aren't the only ones
who can use Adolla Bursts.
**[07:49] Faerie**
I would have been far better
suited to you as your Guardian,
**[07:53] Faerie**
but you refused me.
**[07:56] Faerie**
It would have been better if
you had let me protect you.
**[08:00] Faerie**
Abandoning your duties as a Pillar,
**[08:02] Faerie**
betraying the Evangelist,
**[08:04] Faerie**
turning into a pitiful lost child...
**[08:08] Faerie**
And all the while, your Guardian hides in
the background, simply shooting arrows.
**[08:14] Faerie**
If you had let me protect you,
I never would have let this happen.
**[08:20] Sho**
Where are you, Faerie?
**[08:22] Faerie**
Stay there and watch.
**[08:25] Faerie**
The prelude to the Great
Cataclysm is about to begin.
**[08:31] Ogun**
They disappeared!
**[08:32] Ogun**
Shinra!
**[08:43] Ogun**
The White Clad have a child
like that as a member?
**[08:51] Sho**
Big Brother.
**[08:56] Ogun**
Hey!
**[08:57] Ogun**
Hey, you!
**[09:00] Ogun**
How's Shinra?
**[09:07] Ogun**
He disappeared again.
**[09:28] Kurono**
You've finally grown weak
enough for me to enjoy this.

Huh? Iris?
**[10:49] Yona**
I can feel Adolla growing closer.
**[10:53] Yona**
We have made it this far at last.
**[10:56] Yona**
I've waited impatiently for this
ever since that moment.
**[11:08] Yona; narration**
*On that day 250 years ago,*
**[11:11] Yona; narration**
*the first Great Cataclysm failed.*
**[11:16] Yona; narration**
*But the connection to Adolla grew stronger,*
**[11:21] Yona; narration**
* so I was able to come to*
* this side with the Insects.*
**[11:33] Yona; narration**
* If I were to express it within*
* the realm of human knowledge,*
**[11:36] Yona; narration**
*I suppose I would be a devil.*
**[11:40] Yona; narration**
*I searched for someone with influence.*
**[11:45] Yona; narration**
*And to that individual...*
**[11:47] Yona; narration**
*to that human...*
**[11:58] Yona; narration**
*I would give this girl.*
**[12:02] Yona; narration**
* A girl possessing an*
* Adolla Burst, Amaterasu.*
**[12:09] Yona; narration**
* I found a caravan of survivors*
* of the Great Cataclysm.*
**[12:15] Yona; narration**
*The caravan's leader...*
**[12:17] Yona; narration**
*was Raffles Smith.*
**[12:20] Yona; narration**
*That man there. That was his name.*
**[12:28] Yona; narration**
* The humans who remained had*
* to start over from scratch.*
**[12:34] Yona; narration**
*This man would guide them...*
**[12:37] Yona; narration**
*and become founder of a religion.*
**[12:43] Yona; narration**
* Humans are quite strange creatures.*
* They love made-up stories.*
**[12:48] Yona; narration**
*Novels, movies, manga...*
**[12:51] Yona; narration**
*Myths and religion, too.*
**[12:53] Yona; narration**
*They're so quick to believe.*
**[12:56] Yona; narration**
* They'd believe in the religion*
* I was about to create, too.*
**[13:00] Yona; narration**
* Raffles would become the founder of the*
* religion and take Amaterasu with him.*
**[13:06] Yona; narration**
* This man believed that*
* reconstruction was possible.*
**[13:10] Yona; narration**
*That's why he started the caravan.*
**[13:13] Yona; narration**
*And now he would found a religion.*

**[13:29] Yona; narration**
* If anything makes this human*

**[13:32] Yona; narration**
*it's that he's had a taste of Adolla.*

**[13:46] Yona; narration**
*This is where it all began.*
**[13:50] Yona; narration**
* This new religion would be built*

O flames of Adolla,
**[14:47] Faerie**
illuminate this world.
**[14:59] Shinra**
Where am I?
**[15:02] Shinra**
An Adolla Link?
**[15:04] Shinra**
With you?
**[15:06] Inca**
Hey!
**[15:09] Inca**
Long time no see.
**[15:11] Shinra**
Why is there an Adolla
Link between me and you?
**[15:15] Inca**
I don't know much about your situation,
but I hear you're unconscious.
**[15:22] Shinra**
I stopped Juggernaut's attack, and then...
**[15:25] Inca**
And then a Pillar of the Great Cataclysm
was born, and the Links got stronger.
**[15:31] Shinra**
The Great Cataclysm started...
**[15:33] Inca**
It's still just the very beginning, though.
**[15:35] Shinra**
What is the Great Cataclysm, anyway?
Don't you know anything about it?
**[15:39] Inca**
How should I know? It's my first time, too.
**[15:42] Shinra**
You can see the future, can't you?
**[15:44] Shinra**
So you know what's going
to happen next, right?
**[15:47] Inca**
Come on, now.
**[15:48] Inca**
You and the 8th showed up to stop
the Great Cataclysm, didn't you?
**[15:52] Inca**
And you're already thinking
like it's happening for sure?
**[15:55] Inca**
I can only see futures that
are absolutely certain.
**[16:00] Inca**
And I can't see what's going to happen yet.
**[16:03] Inca**
If you use super speed,
you can see the past, can't you?
**[16:11] Inca**
If you see the past, see the world
before the previous Great Cataclysm,
**[16:15] Inca**
then you might figure out what
is going to happen next.
**[16:19] Shinra**
Is that even possible?
**[16:24] Inca**
I can't see the past,
but I can predict the future,
**[16:31] Inca**
so I know that you will go and see the past.
**[16:34] Shinra**
What?
**[16:38] Inca**
And you'll take me with you.
**[16:40] Shinra**
Hey!
**[16:41] Inca**
There's no point in resisting.
It's going to happen, you know.
**[16:47] Inca**
You'll jump into the past using super speed.
**[16:52] Inca**
And then...
**[16:53] Inca**
you'll fall in love with Inca.
**[16:55] Shinra**
I'll what?!
**[16:55] Inca**
I can see it. You and Inca will love each other.
**[16:59] Shinra**
Don't lie!
**[17:01] Shinra**
I know you see a lot, but even you
can't see the flames of love!
**[17:04] Shinra**
Stop saying stupid stuff.
**[17:07] Shinra**
Let's go.
**[17:08] Shinra**
Don't fall off.
**[17:26] Shinra; internal**
*Moving beyond hyper speed... into the past.*
**[17:39] Inca**
Where are we?
**[17:40] Shinra**
We've surpassed the speed of light.
**[17:42] Shinra**
In this world, our bodies have
broken down into particles.
**[17:50] Inca**
Oh! Is that...
**[17:52] Shinra**
Before the Great Cataclysm...
**[18:01] Shinra; internal**
*I've imagined the past...*
**[18:04] Shinra; internal**
*Tokyo before the Great Cataclysm...*
**[18:08] Shinra; internal**
*People no different from us,*
**[18:11] Shinra; internal**
*living lives no different from ours.*
**[18:15] Shinra; internal**
* The only difference would be that there*
* was no spontaneous human combustion.*
**[18:20] Shinra; internal**
*Just that one difference.*
**[19:18] Shinra; internal**
*What are those beings that look like people?*
**[19:28] Shinra; internal**
* I couldn't tear my eyes from*
* the world of the past.*
**[19:33] Shinra; internal**
* I felt like my blind trust in my own*
* sanity was about to be ripped away*
**[19:37] Shinra; internal**
* by the overwhelming anxiety*
* that enveloped me.*
**[19:43] Shinra; internal**
*A powerful nausea and dizziness...*
**[19:52] Shinra; internal**
*I held back a sense of madness.*
**[20:04] newsman; muffled**
* A car caught fire in a parking lot*
* near Komagome Eki in Toshima.*
**[20:11] newsman**
* Reports say that the fire was*
* extinguished within about an hour,*
**[20:14] newsman**
* but no evidence of human combustion*
* was found at the site,*
**[20:18] newsman**
* so the military police are investigating*
* both arson and accident as possible causes.*
***SIGN*** A NEW 5TH PILLAR HAS APPEARED
**[20:26] newsman**
*Now to other news.*
**[20:28] newsman**
* It has been three months since*
* the first pillar appeared,*
**[20:31] newsman**
*and now, a new, fifth pillar has appeared.*
**[20:36] Shinra**
Five pillars?
